Spreading Merit
When
a candle is lit in a dark room, it illuminates the room to some extent,
but its power is limited. But if you use the same candle to light
another candle, the total brightness increases. If you continue to do
this, you can fill the room with brilliant illumination. The idea of
transferring merit to others is like this. If we keep our own light
selfishly hidden, it will only provide a limited amount of illumination.
