An excerpt from the Chapter on the Meaning of the Non-meditative Virtues in the Commentary on the Contemplation Sutra
善導大師語錄
《觀經疏》〈散善義〉:
There is no retribution if there is no karma; there is no effect if there is no cause. If the causal karma is unhappiness, how can the retributive effect not be suffering? If the cause of evil karma is still in effect, the retributive suffering is not yet finished.
非業不受其報,非因不受其果; 因業既非是樂,果報焉能不苦。 造惡之因既具,酬報之劫未窮。
Namo Amituofo!
