(Nyorai wa) kono sekai no yorodzu no mono wo suburu tame ni innengwa no taiho wo sadame, go-jishin mata kono taiho ni yotte arawase tamai, kono taiho ni yotte sono issai no hataraki wo shimeshi tamau no de arimasu. "In order that he might regulate all things in the world, he established the law of cause and effect, manifested himself, too, in accordance with this great law, and by it manifests (to the world) all his operations." This comes very near the acknowledgement of a First Cause.
