若见空钵，当愿众生，
其心清净，空无烦恼。
若见满钵，当愿众生，
具足成满，一切善法。
– 文殊菩萨
(华严经: 净行品: 第110-111偈)
If seeing empty almsbowls,
[reflect that] ‘May sentient beings,
their minds be [clear and] pure,
empty [of and] without afflictions.’
If seeing full almsbowls,
[reflect that] ‘May sentient beings,
[be] complete* [in] accomplishment,
[of] all good** dharmas.’***
– Manjusri Bodhisattva
