有一天阿彌陀佛與釋迦牟尼佛會面，
彼此讚嘆彼此不思議饒益眾生功德；
有一天菩薩與諸菩薩眾多會聚一起，
彼此讚嘆諸菩薩各行門度生之功德；
有一天諸天王與諸護法眾天王會聚，
彼此讚嘆諸天王與諸行門護守功德。
有一天友情與愛情碰面時，
愛情問友情……世上有我了時，
為什麼還要有你的存在呢？
友情笑著回答說：
愛情會讓人們流眼淚，
而友情的存在，就是幫人們擦乾眼淚。
手把青秧插滿田
低頭便見水中天
六根清淨方為道
退步原來是向前
諸位大德：活得累，是因為能左右你心情的東西太多了。
為自己祈一個好願，願像阿彌陀佛無上大願力，
度一切眾生、離苦得樂，為眾生發一個大願，
要像釋迦牟尼佛智慧無盡啟教群迷，
以行願來圓滿世間人的悲歡離合，
不被五欲六塵牽著走，
心能安然則「菩薩清涼月……常遊畢竟空」。

Make a Good Wish for Yourself
One day, Amitabha Buddha and Sakyamuni Buddha met and praised each other’s incredible merits of benefiting sentient beings.
One day, countless Bodhisattvas gathered and praised each other’s merits of transforming sentient beings with their own approaches.
One day, devas and guardian devas gathered and praised each other’s merits of guarding.
One day, when friendship and love met, love asked friendship, “Since there is already me in this world, why is there you, too?” Friendship answered with a smile, “Love makes people shed tears, so friendship is there to wipe their tears.”
I transplant the rice seedlings all over the paddy.
The moment I bow my head, I see the sky in the water.
To purify the Six Consciousnesses is the right path.
To draw back is actually to go forward.
Virtuous ones, if you are leading a tiring life, it’s because there are too many things influencing your mood.
Make a good wish for yourself: Wish that you have a supreme great vow that is as powerful as Amitabha Buddha’s to rescue all living beings, bring them out of bitterness, and give them happiness.
Make a good wish for all living beings: Wish that they will be as boundlessly wise as Sakyamuni Buddha, will educate all the deluded ones, and will perfect the sadness, joy, separation, and gathering in the world with great vows. No one will be misled by the Five Desires and Six Contaminations. If one has a peaceful mind, he will be like the Bodhisattva cool moon that wanders in the Utmost Void.
