文／佛光星雲（1927～）一滴水，能匯聚成汪洋大海；一粒種，能收割成滿倉穀糧；一句話，能流傳至千秋萬世；一顆心，能蘊涵有無盡寶藏。誇小善，終積大德；正如涓流，點滴匯聚，終成大海；不除小惡，終必敗事；則如磨石，不見其減，日有所損。小小金剛，能壞須彌；小小星火，能夠燎原；小小細菌，會傷身體；小小懺悔，能破大惡。一絲「小小」的微笑，給人無限的歡喜；一聲「小小」的愛語，給人無邊的受用；一件「小小」的善行，給人無量的因緣；一則「小小」的故事，給人無盡的啟示。──選自《佛光菜根譚》Small Things Can Have Wonderful UsesVenerable Master Hsing Yun (1927 - )English translation: Ven.Man Ho and Ven.Zhi YueA drop of water can converge together to become an ocean.A seed can be harvested to become a storehouse of grains.A sentence can be spread for thousands of years.A heart can contain inexhaustible treasures.Not bragging about good deeds accumulates merits,as streams flow into the sea.Not mending minor flaws leads to failure,as a stone is worn away day by day, unnoticed.*A small vajra can topple Mt. Sumeru.A small spark can start a forest fire.A small virus can harm the human body.A small repentance can stop a torrent ofunwholesome deeds.*One little smile gives boundless joy.One little word does boundless good.One little tale gives boundless inspiration.One little action brings boundless good causes andconditions.*── from Fo Guang Cai Gen Tan(Roots of Wisdom;*The Everlasting Light)
