Yes. It could be a problem if one shares merit in the following way: “May ALL living beings will gain āyu ( long life), vanna (health), sukha (living comfortably), bala (influence over others).
- Then those on the wrong paths may also be “energized” to continue in their wrong ways (harming them in the long run) and possibly leading to problems for others on the correct path.
It is better to do it the following way: “May ALL living beings gain wisdom (by learning Buddha Dhamma) and may these merits help them gain āyu ( long life), vanna (health), sukha (living comfortably), bala (influence over others) in setting the necessary background to attain Nibbana.”
Theruwan Saranayi!
