挽回劫運護國救民正本清源論
印光 ( 1862~1940 )

道德仁義，乃吾人本具之性德；
因果報應，實天地化育之大權。
作善降之百祥，
作不善降之百殃。
積善之家必有餘慶，
積不善之家必有餘殃。
因果報應之吉凶禍福，
乃道德仁義依違真偽之實驗也。

A Proposal to Radically Reform Governance: Rejuvenating, Protecting, and Saving the Nation from Adversity
Yinguang (1862 - 1940)
English translation: You Zai

Virtues and benevolence
    are the foundations of our inherent nature.
The Law of Cause and Effect
    is the law of the Universe.

When doing virtuous deeds,
    a hundred auspiciousness appear;
When doing unwholesome deeds,
    a hundred calamities befall.
A family that does many wholesome deeds
    will have many blessings to spare;
A family that does many unwholesome deeds
    will undergo plenty of misfortunes.

The Law of Cause and Effect brings both
    good and bad fortune as well as
    disaster and happiness;
Thus, our virtues and benevolence
    depend upon the values of our experiences.
