True Blessing

"Sunakkhattam, Sumangalam, Supabhatam, Suhutthitam,
Sukhano, Sumuhutto, Ca Suyittham Brahmacarisu.

Padakkhinam kaya-kammam, Vaca-kammam padakkhinam

Padakkhinam mano-kammam, Panidhi te padakkhina

Padakkhinani katvana, Labhantatthe padakkhine."


"Rightful bodily act, Rightful verbal act, Rightful mental act,

With Your rightful intentions,
Doing these rightful things,
Your rightful aims are achieved.

A Lucky Blessing,
A Great Morning,
A Good Offerings(made),
A Lucky Chance,
A Lucky Moment,
An Auspicious gift to those leading a Holy Life."
