「善恶到头终有报，只争来早与来迟。」 ——佛家因果观
— Buddhist concept of karma
📖 释义 Annotation
「善恶到头终有报」是佛教因果报应思想最通俗的表达。佛教认为，一切行为都会产生相应的果报——善有善报，恶有恶报，不是不报，时候未到。这不是简单的赏罚逻辑，而是对宇宙因果法则的深刻洞察：每一个行为都是种子，条件成熟时必然结果。
'Good and evil will ultimately find their reward' is the most accessible expression of Buddhist karma. Buddhism teaches that all actions produce corresponding results — good deeds bring good results, evil deeds bring evil results. Every action is a seed that bears fruit when conditions ripen.
💡 当代启示 Modern Application
做正确的事不一定会立刻得到回报，但长期来看，善良和正直终将带来好的结果。不要因为短期看不到回报就放弃做好事——因果律是宇宙中最可靠的法则。
Doing the right thing may not bring immediate rewards, but in the long run, kindness and integrity will bear good fruit. Don't give up doing good because you don't see quick returns — the law of karma is the most reliable law in the universe.
