merit. Much of what Pha-dam-pa says seems negative about merit, but he seems to mean to say that the conscious pursuit of merit is a worldly concern, not a spiritual one. See Zhi-byed Coll. IV 233.6 for example, or ibid. IV 238.2, where merit can be reduced to a delusion for one who has renounced the world and started practicing. |
