文／宋．王日休（？～1173）

欲知前世因，今生受者是；

欲知來世果，今生作者是。

The Origin of Cause and Effect

Wang Rixiu (- 1173, Song Dynasty)

English translation: Venerable You Zai

To know the causes of your past life,

look at the experiences of your present life.

To know the results of your future life,

look at the actions of your present life.
