因果歷然 [yin guo li ran]—Cause and Effect Are Clearly Manifest—[Terminology (術語 [shu yu])] The facts of cause and effect (因果 [yin guo]) are clear and obvious.

Annotations to the Meaning of Samatha-vipasyana (止觀義例 [zhi guan yi li]) states: "If these teachings are preserved, then cause and effect are clearly manifest."

Records of the Mirror of the School (宗鏡錄 [zong jing lu]), Volume 12, states: "All is one, all are identical in their lack of inherent nature. One is all, and cause and effect are clearly manifest."

Jiyuan's Commentary (濟緣記 [ji yuan ji]), Volume 1, Part 1, states: "When there is wonderful existence (妙有 [miao you]), not a single thing is established; yet in true emptiness (真空 [zhen kong]), cause and effect are clearly manifest."

因果歷然—【術語】因果之事實,顯而明白也。止觀義例上曰:「存諸教則因果歷然。」宗鏡錄十二曰:「一切即一,皆同無性。一即一切,因果歷然。」濟緣記一上曰:「妙有則一毫不立,真空乃因果歷然。」
