1 “Indeed O bhukkhus, whichever beings perform good conduct by body, good conduct by speech and good conduct by mind in the morning time, those beings truly have a good morning.
2 Indeed O bhukkhus, whichever beings perform good conduct by body, good conduct by speech and good conduct by mind in the afternoon time, those beings truly have a good afternoon.
3 Indeed O bhukkhus, whichever beings perform good conduct by body, good conduct by speech and good conduct by mind in the evening time, those beings truly have a good evening.
A lucky sign, a good omen,
a happy daybreak, a pleasant arising;
a joyful opportunity and a jubilant moment,
is what is well bestowed upon those in the life of purity.Auspicious bodily actions,
auspicious verbal actions;
auspicious mental actions,
is the auspicious prayer.Having done what is auspicious,
one gains auspicious benefits;
Those happy ones who have gained such benefits,
grow in the Buddha's instructions;
May you and all your relatives,
be healthy and happy.”
