Verses On Joy & Suffering

见欢乐人,当愿众生,
常得安乐,乐供养佛。

见苦恼人,当愿众生,
获根本智,灭除众苦。

– 文殊菩萨
    (华严经: 净行品: 第82-83偈)

Seeing those who are joyful,
[reflect that] ‘May sentient beings,
always attain peace and bliss,
[by] joyfully making offerings to the Buddha[s].’

Seeing persons with suffering and afflictions,
[reflect that] ‘May sentient beings,
obtain [the] fundamental wisdom,
[to] eradicate all suffering.’

– Manjusri Bodhisattva
