文／佛光星雲（1927～）

心好命又好，榮華富貴早！

心好命不好，一生能溫飽。

命好心不好，前程不能保。

心命都不好，窮苦直到老。

說好話，做好事，存好心，

建設人間善美的淨土。

A Good Heart and Good Fortune

Venerable Master Hsing Yun (1927 -)

English translation: Ven. Miao Hsi and Cherry Lai

A good heart and good fortune

will lead to a lifetime of prosperity.

A malicious heart and good fortune

will turn blessings into omens of bad luck.

A good heart and bad fortune

will turn misfortunes into blessings.

A malicious heart and bad fortune

will bring disaster and poverty.

Say good words, do good deeds, think good thoughts,

to create beautiful a Pure Land for me and you.

── from Renjian Yinyuan
