夜見明星 成等正覺
西元前五一三年十二月八日黎明前,悉達多太子於菩提樹下,仰觀明星,證悟緣起中道勝義,覺知眾生本有如來智德,奈妄念迷著,不能證得,竭盡智力,歷諸辛苦,豁然大悟,從此眾生得救,成為萬世至尊的佛陀。
Looking up at the Bright Stars, He Became
the Fully Enlightened One.
Just before dawn on December 8, 513 B.C., Prince Siddhartha,
seated under the Bodhi tree, looked up at the bright stars
and realized the profound meanings of dependant origination
and the middle way, and that all beings innately possessed
the wisdom of the Tathagata but lost it due to deluded
thinking and attachments. After exhaustive pondering and
numerous painstaking experiences, the prince attained
the great realization. Thus, all beings shall receive
salvation as the Prince became the noblest Buddha.
