Punyopadeshaya

Merit has a number of meanings in Buddhism. In a deeper sense it is termed as wholesome deeds because of its rich results. The result of any wholesome deed depends on one’s awareness. For instance revering the elders is quite a wholesome deed. But that wholesome deed is very much dependent on the worshipper’s awareness. If you worship with real awareness the wholesomeness holds more weight. Punyopadeshaya offers instructions on how to engage in meritorious deeds so that you gain wholesome merits.
