Build up causes and conditions in your present life to nurture the fruit of your future life.
小水一滴，不断滴落，可穿透磐石，更可润泽大地
星星之火，接续蔓延，可燎烧原野，更可温暖人间
小小种子，灌溉栽培，可长成大树，更可遮荫避雨
Water that breaks rocks softly nurtures crops.
Fire that burns crops gently warms homes.
Tiny seeds become trees to shade passersby.
太子年幼，长大成人，可为王当权，更可统治全国
沙弥虽小，年事渐大，可成就诸法，更可趋入圣道
儿童初长，慧解日增，可所学俱全，更可为国栋梁
Great kings were once little princes.
Great sages were novice monks.
World-revered personages were babbling infants.
