文／佛光星雲（1927～）

在瞋恨之處，散播慈悲的種子；

在仇視之處，施予寬恕的諒解；

在懷疑之處，培養信心的力量；

在黑暗之處，點燃般若的火花；

在失意之處，提出未來的希望；

在憂傷之處，贈予喜樂的安慰。

──選自《佛光菜根譚》

The Spark of Prajna Wisdom

Fo Guang Shan, Venerable Master Hsing (1927 - )

English translation:

Venerable Miao Guang and Venerable Zhi Yue

Sow the seeds of compassion

over hatred.

Offer forgiveness and understanding

towards hostility.

Nurture the strength of confidence

out of doubts.

Illuminate a spark of prajna wisdom

in the darkness.

Raise hopes for the future

above disappointment.

Extend the consolation of happiness

towards sorrow.
