第十一条原则：恪守妇道，孝敬慈爱
[11] [The] Eleventh Principle: Strictly Complying [With] Women’s Path, [Of] Filial Respect [And] Kindly Love
世有女人，不明至理，或不孝公婆，欺侮丈夫，溺爱儿女，虐待婢仆；或属填房（即后母），虐待前房儿女。
[The] world has women, [who do] not understand [the] ultimate principle, perhaps [then] not filial [to their] husbands’ parents, humiliating [and] insulting [their] husbands, [with] indulgent love [spoiling their] sons [and] daughters, ill-treating servants, perhaps being second wives ([who] are stepmothers), ill-treating [their] previous wives’ sons [and] daughters.
不知孝公婆、敬丈夫、教儿女、惠婢仆、教养恩抚前房儿女。实为世间圣贤之道，亦是佛门敦本之法。
[They do] not know [how to be] filial [to their] husbands’ parents, respect [their] husbands, teach [their] sons [and] daughters, [be] kind [to their] servants, teach [and] nurture, [with] loving-kindness foster [their] previous wives’ sons [and] daughters. [This] truly [is] as [the] path of [the] world’s noble [and] virtuous [ones, and] also is [the] Buddhist door’s Dharma [teaching] of sincerity’s root [conscientious practice].
具此功德，以修净土，决定名誉日隆，福增寿永，临终蒙佛接引，直登九莲也。
Complete [with] these meritorious virtues, with cultivating [of] Pure Land [practice, they will] definitely [have their] reputation [by the] day prospering, [with] blessings increasing [and] lifespans lengthening. [When] approaching [life’s] end, receiving [the] Buddha’s reception [and] guidance, [to] directly ascend [the] nine [grades of] lotus [flowers].
须知有因必定有果，己若种孝敬慈爱之因，自得孝敬慈爱之果。
[It] must [be] known [that] having [a] cause, [will] definitely have [its] effect. [With] oneself, if planting [the] cause of kindly love [i.e. loving-kindness], [one will] personally attain [the] effect of kindly love.
为人即是为己，害人甚于害己。固宜尽我之职分，以期佛天共鉴也。
[That] for others is the same as [that] for oneself, [and] harming [of] others [is] definitely harming of oneself. Certainly should [I, to the] utmost [fulfil] my duties, hoping [for the] Buddhas [and] heavenly [beings, to] together inspect [this].
