Merit (puñña) refers to actions of body, speech and mind ... - Dhamma by Ajahn Jayasāro

Merit (puñña) refers to actions of body, speech and mind that brighten, elevate and purify the mind. In the short term, meritorious actions make us happy. They increase the quality of both our inner life, and our relations with those around us. In the long term, by devoting ourselves to goodness, we create the necessary kammic conditions for a good rebirth. Most importantly, the mind which loves goodness and kindness will turn naturally towards the inner peace which is the fount of liberating wisdom.
