Mantra on Good Memory & Wisdom and how to Dedicate Merits

In answering one of the Q&As in the Monday session, Venerable Hai Tao recommended reciting two powerful Mantra which after researching on internet, summarised below to share with more:

A) To aid one improve memory:
Mantra of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva 虚空藏菩萨咒 :

虚空藏菩萨咒语原文：

南无虚空藏菩萨摩诃萨(三称)

阿袮，逻阇鞞钤.浮娑阇鞞耶。
婆奈阇鞞。博厕，娑迷波吒。
逻阇鞞他奈婆逻鞞。
萨多逻伽逻泥。休磨休磨。
摩诃伽楼尼迦娑婆诃

虚空藏菩萨咒语注音：
ā mǐ，luó shé pí。qián fú suō shé pí。
yē pó nài shé pí。bó cè，suō mí。
bō zhà luó shé pí。tā nài pó luó pí。
sà duō luó jiā luó ní。xiū mó xiū mó。
mó hē，qié lóu ní jiā。suō pó hē。
(pronunciation in blue amended from extraction with advice confirmation by a Ven. to follow a printed copy)

念诵虚空藏菩萨咒可增加记忆力、有增长学习力。常念诵虚空藏菩萨咒毁禁恶名皆悉除灭，得以清净；能使方诸佛及诸菩萨之所护念及诸声闻皆来咨受。念诵虚空藏菩萨咒后临命终时净除业障，十方诸佛放金色光，皆来迎接为说妙法，随意往生清净佛国。

In addition, he recommended before dedication of merits,
we first rejoice in the merits of all Buddhas & Bodhisattvas 随喜诸佛菩萨功德, then their great merits together with our small merits we dedicate to all sentient beings, our 祖先 ancestors, our 冤亲债主 karmic-debtors，and all those beings who suffer similar misfortune as who we are specifically dedicating for or what we are suffering from.
In this way, with the great merits of the Buddhas & Bodhisattvas, then we do not have to worry that our small merits have not much dedication effect.

Venerable greatly  advocates on Generosity on charity and life liberation, Filial Piety, Rejoicing on merits of others and generating Bodhicitta.
His compassion on all beings, especially on the lower 3 realms is touching and his repeated emphasis for all devotees to join him in the practice of Compassion and Buddhism somehow revoked my fading compassion and enthusiasm.

Rejoice on All and his merits...
