This is the classic Mahayana dedication of merit. The first stanza is from the Jatakamala Sutra and the others from the Aspirational Prayers from the Excellent Conduct by the Bodhisattva Kuntuzangpo and the last stanza is from the renowned Bodhisattvacharyavatara by the great bodhisattva Shantideva. We need to dedicate the merit that we accumulate from our good deeds and thoughts for the awakening of all beings toward perfect and complete Buddhahood. This act is likened to mixing your single drop of water with the ocean of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas' merit and aspirations. It will remain as long as the ocean remains.
May it benefit all beings. Tashi Delek.
