(From a booklet entitled "Nichiren Shu Service, Myosho-ji Wonderful Voice Temple - Carolinas" Published 12/29/15, San Bernardino, CA.
Please notes: The following is just one example of the form this prayer might take, as there are a number of Nichiren Shu sects with distinct practices.)
We respectfully dedicate all our merits now gathered to the Great Benevolent Teacher, Shakyamuni the Eternal Buddha; to the Teaching, the Lotus Sutra; and to the leader of the Declining Latter Age of the Dharma, our Founder, the Great Bodhisattva Nichiren Shonin; and to the protective deities of the Dharma.
May all beings under the heavens and within the four seas live in accordance with the Wonderful Dharma! May the Wonderful Dharma spread throughout the ten thousand years of the declining latter age of the Dharma! May we realize this world is the Eternal Buddha's Pure Land! May peace permeate all the world and all people enjoy peace and happiness! May all beings live in safety and live long without misfortune! May the peace and happiness last forever and all being be prosperous! We pray that all beings awaken to the true nature of reality which is the Buddha Dharma! May all beings of the realms be helped equally, overcome suffering, and gain the happiness of blissful liberation through the merits of following the teaching of the Lotus Sutra!
We pray for the spirits of our ancestors and for all the spirits of the universe. (Insert personal prayers here.)
May we purify our minds, limit our desires, learn to be content, feel free to experience the quiet unassuming joys of life, and learn to abandon all attachments formed in the mind! With this prayer we endeavor to increase our understanding and appreciation of what others have given and contributed to us and to develop constant, mindful consideration of how our thoughts and actions will beneficially contribute to others.
