我自不凡。发大心,能作佛!
我观自在,不入涅盘。
帝力何有于我?偏安岂是本意。
为了证道,我不避艰险;
为了信愿,我广行功德。
不患失,不患得。
我期许助缘,不受嗟来之食;
我宁愿磨难,不做行尸走肉:
活泼泼地,出离枯槁。
不自由,何以行善?
不自主,何以高尚?
面对诸佛,我绝不猥琐;
面对困苦,我绝不屈服。
天上地下,唯我独尊!
指天画地,无所畏惧。
明心见性,利乐有情。
光天化日之下,我要宣告:
佛缘在当下,我道业已成!

英文原文如下:
I do not choose to be a common person.
It is my right to be uncommon-if I can.
I seek opportunity-not security.
I do not wish to be a kept citizen,
humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.
I want to take the calculated risk,
to dream and to build,
to fail and to succeed.
I refuse to barter incentive for a dole;
I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence;
the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia.
I will not trade my freedom for beneficence
nor my dignity for a handout.
I will never cower before any master
nor bend to any threat.
It is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and unafraid;
to think and act for myself;
to enjoy the benefit of my creations;
and to face the world boldly
and say:
"This, with God's help, I have done."
-Entrepreneur's Credo of the American
