君垂恩澤潤無邊
覆禱祈禳沒黨偏
一切有情皆受用
均沾樂利得週全
The lord's grace falls and moistens without limit.
Prayers and rites are heard without partiality.
All living beings receive their share.
Joy and benefit are spread, and all made whole.
What this lot says
The verse describes grace falling like water, reaching everyone without favoritism. All living beings receive a share, and the benefit is spread evenly. It is a picture of abundance that has no borders.
A lot like this turns attention to how good things are shared. It favors generosity and fairness, and it asks you to include the people who usually get left out.
If you are dividing credit on a project, an inheritance among relatives or time among your family, aim for a division everyone can see is even. Where you have more than you need, let some of it reach others.
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
The story behind it
Mulian saves his mother (目蓮救母)
In the Buddhist legend told in the Ullambana Sutra, Mulian finds his mother suffering as a hungry ghost, and the Buddha tells him that one person's power cannot save her. Her release takes the strength of many together, which suits a lot about grace reaching everyone.
