Morning

Pubbaṇhasutta

from: 15. Good Fortune

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!”
