Top 10 Best Poems About Money

Buddha does not bestow wealth
Buddha does not grant power
Buddha does not give happiness
Buddha does not offer love

Buddha does not bring misfortune
To anyone in particular
One must cultivate virtue
To brighten the future

Buddha does not give anything
Buddha only teaches
Buddhists must understand
How to live in accordance with life’s principles

Buddha’s sole mission is to guide
All Buddhists, near and far
With a conscience, one must see
The suffering of many lives

One must practice compassion and patience
Not greed, anger, or deceit
Be a person of integrity

Buddha teaches us to learn throughout life
To live as good humans
To build the nation
And keep life vibrant and flourishing

Buddha is everywhere
Watching over the actions
Of all Buddhists in the world
Buddha sees everything

If you live with a pure conscience
With love for humanity
Buddha will reside in your heart
Your life will be eternal!

TRAN DINH HUNG

To be greedy for good health
To live freely, full of joy
To be immersed in poetry, never stopping
Money enough for a lifetime’s needs

To have obedient children, wise and filial
So that if I pass on one day
I must live kindly, and be virtuous
To cultivate character, and all dreams will come true

To leave a bright and respected reputation
Always keep oneself in line with discipline
Love children, respect the elderly, be humble
Live honorably, and the fragrance of goodness will shine

To have a family that enjoys luck and harmony
One must have a spiritual practice, twice a month
On the 15th and 1st, pray to offer
To ask the ancestors for protection and peace.

- NGUYEN ANH TUAN -

Our love is as beautiful as the moon and stars
Always together, sweet and affectionate
We have nothing to hide from each other
Always open, decorating our journey together

The world offers many temptations, but we remain unmoved
Our love is filled with deep devotion
We share and support each other in all tasks
Half a life spent without regrets

I gave you all the years of my youth
You gave me a love that binds us forever
March arrives with the scent of flowers
All hardships carried away by a gentle breeze

On the eighth, I don’t have a gift for you
No money, no bouquet to present
Only my heart, forever in love with you
My love, I must be terrible, don’t you think?

- Farmer’s Life -

Life is full of suffering, it's just a temporary existence
We should live truthfully with everyone
So that when we close our eyes for the final time
We won't be bound by the regrets of life.

Wealth often fades away
Don't let money cause hatred or revenge
Build love, let go of grudges
And create bridges of kindness, opening paths to enlightenment.

Let sadness disappear
Be open-hearted, generous, and forgiving
Learn the true wisdom, not the illusions
The miraculous Buddha's teachings illuminate the mind.

Let the world keep turning
But always focus on your own self
Respect above, humility below, with deep meaning
To avoid calamities and the heavy burden of worldly deeds.

We must also release false desires
Avoid greed, lust, anger, and ignorance
For who knows when life will end
In this fleeting human existence?

Don't overly chase after fame and profit
Deceiving others, living in selfishness
Let go of hatred and grudge
Follow Buddha's teachings and receive blessings.

Ultimately, it's all about the word 'MONEY'

It causes chaos and confusion in the world

With money, even the toughest tasks seem easy

Without it, no matter how hard you try, it’s never enough

With money, friends flock to you

Without it, don’t expect anyone to remember you

With money, a few words are understood immediately

Without it, you can talk all day and no one listens

With money, you have protection

Without it, even on the streets, no one cares

With money, many are drawn to you

Without it, people avoid you and look down on you

With money, even lies are believed

Without it, the truth is ignored

With money, life seems perfect

Without it, there is no peace, not even for an hour

With money, you are welcomed and admired

Without it, no one even asks how you are

With money, even faults are overlooked

Without it, being honest still brings criticism

Is it true that money is everything?

People often lose their way because of money

Money has turned life upside down

Thinking with money, you can control everything

Why does money always come up in conversation?

It seems money doesn’t care about pride

Money clouds the mind and brings confusion

Greed for money leads people down wrong paths

We all desire money, but how do we acquire it?

How do we spend the money we have earned?

Don’t trade love for money

Don’t let money make life miserable

Don’t let money taint human dignity

Even though life needs money, it’s not the only thing

Should we really let money divide us?

Money is and should be our friend

But never let it break deep connections

Earn money honestly and with integrity

Then you’ll never feel regret, no matter the amount

Even if the money is small in value

It’s still money earned with hard work

My life

Even though my life is simple

I find peace, not chasing after competition

I don’t covet or fight for things

And I don’t flatter to gain fame

I enjoy the fruits of my labor

From honest work that secures the future

While others chase after billions, I’m content

I live happily, grateful for the blessings

With a peaceful mind, free of worry

I earn honest money with hard work

Not by scheming or cheating others

Or stabbing others in the back for power

I live peacefully, with a sense of purpose

Even if I am poor, I live with dignity

Dream on, my love, dream away
What’s the harm? Let’s embrace what we desire!
A grand castle and a life of togetherness
A family of children and royal comforts...

Let’s pretend we already have it all
In our old age, filled with joy
Money? Oh, there’s more than enough to spend freely
No worries, nothing to burden us...

Dream on, my love, an endless joy
What’s the need for fame when all ambition is buried?
When everything is distant and faded
Surrounded only by walls of moss and stone...

What’s left to wish for?
You stand before the gates of heaven
Day and night, you fill your chest with riches
But now, you bow your head when it’s too late...

Sitting here, you dream all day
Money and wealth—what’s the point anymore?
If only you knew then, when you signed that deal
You wouldn’t have foolishly embraced your ambitions...

The wish, that you’ve yearned for all your life
Has vanished into smoke, just within reach
As all your ideals dissolve into the clouds
Filled now with an insatiable greed...

In your world, where money hides the truth
You’ve forgotten the struggles of ordinary life
When money consumes the soul
You’re ready to forget all loyalty...

Now, caught in a web of guilt
Your only wish: freedom
A simple meal by a warm home
But it’s too late for that small dream...

Be careful, for life can change in a heartbeat
So that your dreams and wishes
Can become a radiant light
And your world filled with all that’s good...

Poem by: Thùy Dương.

Money is a two-faced thing, it's clear
But its value is known by all who see
For with two faces, it’s easily understood
The numbers are clear, there’s no mistake to be made

Money remains silent, unnoticed
But when used, it brings joy without complaint
Money is a magic charm
Without it, no one finds happiness

Money seems to have a spell
Passing hands, never staying in one place
That two-faced coin, it’s all the same
Just one value, easy to use

People are complicated, indeed
They have one face, yet they share one fate
Who can gauge their depths or heights?
Changing hearts and minds is impossible to predict

How can we distinguish them, make a distinction
Living with two faces, loving one and hating the other
The face of sincerity, the face of deceit
Flipping easily, like turning one’s palm

The two-faced coin shows us
One value, yet two sides to behold
Stay awake long enough and you’ll see the long night
People with one face, live with two-sided hearts

Author: Hoa Chu Văn

Oh, money is but a fleeting thing
Life isn’t meant to be a constant chase for wealth
Fathers teach their children not to forget
When poor, live clean, it makes life last longer

Don’t envy the rich and the powerful
Happiness can’t be bought, no matter the price
Living a life where each night
Brings worries about comfort is not the way

In life, a stone may be thrown away
A piece of lead may be tossed back, but it doesn’t last
Whether poor or rich
No one can take their wealth to the grave

Live with meaning and love
True happiness comes from a peaceful heart, not wealth
Our fate is written, no need to complain
Wealth or poverty depends on how we lived before

Author: Vũ Ngọc Yến Linh

If one day you feel weary and worn
Let go and stop chasing after the race
Come home to me, even if life is poor
A simple life can bring a peaceful heart

If one day they no longer care
Forgetting the love they once gave
They trample on your heart, leaving it in pain
Come back to me, I'll wipe away your tears

If one day there's no one left to share
I'll still be here, strong and by your side
Life is beautiful, and peace can still be found
When you're tired, just come home to me

Lean on me, listen to my soft breath
It will bring you calm and peace
Happiness isn’t just about wealth
Let the world keep its endless storms
