Recognizing the Value of Thy Precious Jewel in Hand
Blessed we are…
With two hands to clasp in front of us
for paying respect to Buddha,
With two legs to worship Buddha
in prolonged prostrations,
With two eyes to behold Buddhist statues,
With two ears to hear the sounds of dharma.
Blessed we are…
With the intellectual faculties to discern
and understand the grand scheme of things.
What rare opportunity!
Having acquired such remarkable fortune,
we have been gratified, for we have it all.
I hereby implore you to cherish
the jewel in your hand.
Pray do not take it for granted.
Do not let it go to waste in vain.
