3: The Book of the Threes
155. A Good Morning
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi (More copyright information)
1"Bhikkhus, those beings who engage in good conduct by body, speech, and mind in the morning have a good morning.
2Those beings who engage in good conduct by body, speech, and mind in the afternoon have a good afternoon.
3And those beings who engage in good conduct by body, speech, and mind in the evening have a good evening."
4Truly propitious and auspicious,
a happy daybreak and a joyful rising,
a precious moment and a blissful hour
will come for those who offer alms
to those leading the spiritual life.
5Upright acts of body and speech,
upright thoughts and aspirations:
when one does what is upright
one gains upright benefits.
6Those happy ones who have gained such benefits
come to growth in the Buddha’s teaching.
May you and all your relatives
be healthy and happy!

Padakkhiṇaṁ manokammaṁ,

Dasamaṁ.
Maṅgalavaggo pañcamo.
7Akusalañca sāvajjaṁ,
visamāsucinā saha;
Caturo khatā vandanā,
pubbaṇhena ca te dasāti.
Tatiyo paṇṇāsako samatto.
