Morning

“Mendicants, those sentient beings who do good things in the morning by way of body, speech, and mind have a good morning.

Those sentient beings who do good things at midday by way of body, speech, and mind have a good midday.

Those sentient beings who do good things in the evening by way of body, speech, and mind have a good evening.

A good star, a good fortune,

a good dawn, a good rising,

a good moment, a good hour:

these come with good gifts to spiritual practitioners.

Auspicious deeds of body,

verbal auspicious deeds,

auspicious deeds of mind,

auspicious resolutions:

when your deeds have been auspicious,

you get auspicious benefits.

Those happy with these benefits

flourish in the Buddha’s teaching.

May you and all your relatives

be healthy and happy!”
