最富有的人
佛光星雲 ( 1927~ )

佛教不反對人擁有財富、賺取財富，
世間的財富對現世的生活當然也非常重要。
但是，發掘心裡的寶藏，
開發心裡的能源，更為重要。
因此，認識自己、相信自己，
甚至肯定眾生皆有佛性的人，才是真正擁有財富。
你能夠發掘人人本具的佛性嗎？
那麼，當下你就是世界上最富有的人了！

The Wealthiest Person
Venerable Master Hsing Yun (1927 - , Fo Guang Shan)
English translation: Miao Hsi and Cherry Lai

Buddhism is not opposed to the possession of wealth,
because worldly riches are crucial for living.
However, it is more important to discover and
develop the treasure within our minds. Real wealth
lies in knowing and believing in ourselves, and in
recognizing the inherent Buddha Nature of all
sentient beings. Can you discover the Buddha Nature
that is in every person? If you can, then you are
the wealthiest person in the world, here and now!
