果有因，因有果，

有果有因，種什因結什果；

心即佛，佛即心，

即心即佛，欲求佛先求心。

English translation: John Balcom

(ed. John Gill & Susan Tidwell)

Effects have causes, causes have effects,

If there is an effect, there is a cause.

Whichever cause is planted,

such will be the fruit.

The mind is the Buddha,

the Buddha is the mind,

There is mind, there is Buddha.

If you wish to seek Buddhahood,

first seek the mind.
