報恩品
唐 般若 譯 ( 734~? )
悲母在堂，名之為富；悲母不在，名之為貧。
悲母在時，名為日中；悲母死時，名為日沒。

Chapter on Paying Gratitude
Translated into Chinese by Prajna (734 - ? , Tang Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang
The presence of one's compassionate mother
at home is called wealth;
The absence of one's compassionate mother
at home is called poverty.
The presence of one's compassionate mother
is known as sunrise;
The passing away of one's compassionate mother
is known as nightfall.
── from Dacheng Bensheng Xindi Guan Jing (Sutra on the Contemplation of the Mind)
