The accumulation of merits, clearing of obscurations must be viewed with importance and to incorporate them into our lives. The key is to develop them into a habit.

How should we cultivate the habit of accumulating merits and clearing obscurations? Just begin doing it! With joy and regular practice, make water offerings, light offerings, incense offerings, supplicate to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, make prostrations to the Buddha. With each prostration, we are purifying ourselves and accumulating merits.
