POVERTY AND WEALTH
We can be poor but never be poor in love.
Live mindfully, in a way that we can share
our time, energy, and love.
Be giving and generous of what you have,
even if it’s just a little bit,
and whether it is a smile, loving speech,
deep listening, understanding, or noble silence.
We can be poor but never be poor in love, integrity, and character.
There is no distinction between giving and receiving.
We can be poor but never be poor in love!
Keep your thoughts, speech, and actions
pure with sincere intentions.
Cultivate your good deeds and avoid the bad ones.
Everything is interconnected;
We inter-are
just like we depend on our bodies and our breath.
We can be poor but never be poor in love!
Phe Bach
GIÀU NGHÈO
Ta còn nghèo nhưng không nghèo tình nghĩa
Sống xẻ chia thời lượng, chút tình
Hãy san sẻ những gì bạn có
Dù nụ cười hay lời nói trung trinh
Ta còn nghèo nhưng đừng nghèo phẩm chất
Sạch và thơm từ lời nói đến việc làm
Xin hãy cho vì khi cần thì nhận
Đời tương quan như hơi thở thân tâm
Ta còn nghèo xin đừng nghèo tình nghĩa!
Bạch X. Phẻ
