无悦亲之道，得不孝之子
[300] [Those] Without [The] Path Of Delighting Parents, [Will] Get Children Who [Are] Unfilial
汝已娶妻，当常以悦亲之心为念。夫妻互相恭敬，不可因小嫌隙，或致夫妻不睦，以伤父母之心。
[As] you [have] already married [your] wife, [you] should constantly [be] with [the] mind of delighting [your] parents as [your] thought. [With] husband [and] wife reverent [of] each other, [there] must not, because [of] minor suspicions [and] discords, perhaps leading to husband [and] wife [being] disharmonious, with [this] hurting [the] hearts of [your] fathers [and] mothers.
《中庸》云：「妻子好合，如鼓瑟琴。兄弟既翕，和乐且耽。宜尔室家，乐尔妻孥。」
[The Doctrine of the] Mean says, ‘[With the] wife [and] children well harmonise, like drums, harps [and] lutes. [With] brothers [and sisters] already agreeable, harmony [and] happiness [are] moreover prolonged. [With that] suitable thus [for the] husband [and] wife, [is] happiness thus [for the] wife [and] children.’
子曰：「父母其顺矣乎！」盖言夫妻、兄弟和睦，则父母心中顺悦也。
[Kǒng]zǐ [i.e. Confucius (孔子)] said, ‘Fathers [and] mothers [are with] these [as] compliance!’ About [those] spoken husbands [and] wives, brothers [and sisters, having] harmony, then [is there] compliant delight within fathers [and] mothers’ minds.
现为人子，不久则又为人父。若不自行悦亲之道，必生忤逆不孝之儿女。譬如瓦屋檐前水，点点滴滴照样来。
Now as [a] person’s son, not long then also as [a] person’s father. If not personally practising [the] path of delighting [your] parents, [you will] definitely [give] birth [to] sons [and] daughters who [are] disobedient [and] unfilial. For example, like water [dripping] before [a] tiled house’s eaves, bit [by] bit [and] drop [by] drop, [they] nevertheless come.
光老矣，不能常训示汝。汝肯努力尽子道，则便可以入圣贤之域，将来往生西方，乃汝所得之法利也。
[As Yìn]guāng [印光] [is] old, [I am] not able [to] constantly teach you. You, [if] willing [to] strive utmost [on the] child’s path, can then enter [the] region of [the] noble [and] virtuous, [and in the] future [be] reborn [in the] Western [Pure Land Of Ultimate Bliss] [西方极乐世界]. Thus [are] those Dharma benefits that you [will] attain.
