Leave a Legacy to the DBC
Giving a gift in your Will
“May the merit gained
In my acting thus
Go to the alleviation of the
suffering of all beings.
My personality throughout my existences,
My possessions,
And my merit in all three ways,
I give up without regard for myself
For the benefit of all beings.
Just as the earth and other elements
Are serviceable in many ways
To the infinite number of beings
Inhabiting limitless space;
So may I become
That which maintains all beings
Situated throughout space,
So long as all have not
attained to peace.”
~ Transference of Merit & Self-Surrender, Sevenfold Puja
We often ritually transfer our merits at the end of a gathering with the wish that any good we have done will benefit others.
Making a will is the best way to ensure that your estate and belongings go to the people you love after you die. It can also be a positive opportunity to make a lasting difference by remembering a cause that you have cared about during your lifetime. You could think of it as a way of transferring your merits for the sake of all beings.
Please consider leaving a legacy to the Dublin Buddhist Centre in your will.
A legacy to the Dublin Buddhist Centre will help to ensure that others benefit from the Buddha’s teaching long into the future. Your generosity will enable others to live lives of greater creativity, clarity, emotional positivity and wisdom and will help to bring these qualities into the world.
If you decide to support the Dublin Buddhist Centre in your will, we recommend that you consult your solicitor who will be able to advise on the best way to include the gift either in a new will, or as a codicil to an existing will.
You will also need our address and charity number:
- The Dublin Buddhist Centre, Unit 5 Liberty Corner, James Joyce Street, Dublin 1, D01 N5H6
- CHY11311
If you would like to discuss leaving a legacy with us please contact us on 01 817 8933 or info@dublinbuddhistcentre.org.
