Numbered Discourses 3
15. Good Fortune
155. 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.Worthy deeds of body,
verbal worthy deeds,
worthy deeds of mind,
worthy aspirations:
when your deeds have been worthy,
you get worthy benefits.Those happy with these benefits
flourish in the Buddha’s teaching.
May you and all your relatives
be healthy and happy!”
