(一)中阿含七法品善法經第一
我聞如是:
一時,佛游舍衛國,在勝林給孤獨園。
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若有比丘成就七法者,便於賢聖得歡喜樂,正趣漏盡。云何為七?謂比丘知法、知義、知時、知節、知己、知眾、知人勝如。
「云何比丘為知法耶?謂比丘知正經、歌詠、記說、偈咃、因緣、撰錄、本起、此說、生處、廣解、未曾有法及說是義,是謂比丘為知法也。若有比丘不知法者,謂不知正經、歌詠、記說、偈咃、因緣、撰錄、本起、此說、生處、廣解、未曾有法及說義,如是比丘為不知法。若有比丘善知法者,謂知正經、歌詠、記說、偈咃、因緣、撰錄、本起、此說、生處、廣解、未曾有法及說義,是謂比丘善知法也。
「云何比丘為知義耶?謂比丘知彼彼說義是彼義、是此義,是謂比丘為知義也。若有比丘不知義者,謂不知彼彼說義是彼義、是此義,如是比丘為不知義。若有比丘善知義者,謂知彼彼說義是彼義、是此義,是謂比丘善知義也。
「云何比丘為知時耶?謂比丘知是時修下相,是時修高相,是時修舍相,是謂比丘為知時也。若有比丘不知時者,謂不知是時修下相,是時修高相,是時修舍相,如是比丘為不知時。若有比丘善知時者,謂知是時修下相,是時修高相,是時修舍相,是謂比丘善知時也。
「云何比丘為知節耶?謂比丘知節,若飲若食、若去若住、若坐若臥、若語若默、若大小便,捐除睡眠,修行正智,是謂比丘為知節也。若有比丘不知節者,謂不知若飲若食、若去若住、若坐若臥、若語若默、若大小便,捐除睡眠,修行正智,如是比丘為不知節。若有比丘善知節者,謂知若飲若食,若去若住,若坐若臥、若語若默、若大小便,捐除睡眠,修行正智,是謂比丘善知節也。
「云何比丘為知己耶?謂比丘自知我有爾所信、戒、聞、施、慧、辯、阿含及所得,是謂比丘為知己也。若有比丘不知己者,謂不自知我有爾所信、戒、聞、施、慧、辯、阿含及所得,如是比丘為不知己。若有比丘善知己者,謂自知我有爾所信、戒、聞、施、慧、辯、阿含及所得,是謂比丘善知己也。
「云何比丘為知眾耶?謂比丘知此剎利眾、此梵志眾、此居士眾、此沙門眾,我于彼眾應如是去、如是住、如是坐、如是語、如是默,是謂比丘為知眾也。若有比丘不知眾者,謂不知此剎利眾、此梵志眾、此居士眾、此沙門眾,我于彼眾應如是去、如是住、如是坐、如是語、如是默,如是比丘為不知眾。若有比丘善知眾者,謂知此剎利眾、此梵志眾、此居士眾、此沙門眾、我于彼眾應如是去、如是住、如是坐、如是語、如是默,是謂比丘善知眾也。
「云何比丘知人勝如?謂比丘知有二種人,有信、有不信;若信者勝,不信者為不如也。謂信人復有二種,有數往見比丘、有不數往見比丘;若數往見比丘者勝,不數往見比丘者為不如也
現代漢語譯本: 《中阿含經》第一卷 東晉孝武帝和安帝時期,隆安元年十一月至二年六月,于東亭寺由罽賓三藏瞿曇僧伽提婆翻譯,道祖筆錄。 中阿含七法品第一(共十經)(初一日誦)(有五品半,共六十四經) 善法、晝度樹、城、水、木積喻 善人往、世福、日、車、漏盡七 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀在舍衛國,住在勝林給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘成就七法,就能在賢聖中得到歡喜快樂,並能正確地趨向漏盡。哪七法呢?就是比丘知法、知義、知時、知節、知己、知眾、知人勝如。』 『比丘如何知法呢?就是比丘知道正經、歌詠、記說、偈頌、因緣、撰錄、本起、此說、生處、廣解、未曾有法以及這些法的意義,這就是比丘知法。如果比丘不知法,就是不知道正經、歌詠、記說、偈頌、因緣、撰錄、本起、此說、生處、廣解、未曾有法以及這些法的意義,這樣的比丘就是不知法。如果比丘善知法,就是知道正經、歌詠、記說、偈頌、因緣、撰錄、本起、此說、生處、廣解、未曾有法以及這些法的意義,這就是比丘善知法。』 『比丘如何知義呢?就是比丘知道這個說法是這個意思,那個說法是那個意思,這就是比丘知義。如果比丘不知義,就是不知道這個說法是這個意思,那個說法是那個意思,這樣的比丘就是不知義。如果比丘善知義,就是知道這個說法是這個意思,那個說法是那個意思,這就是比丘善知義。』 『比丘如何知時呢?就是比丘知道什麼時候應該修習下相,什麼時候應該修習高相,什麼時候應該修習舍相,這就是比丘知時。如果比丘不知時,就是不知道什麼時候應該修習下相,什麼時候應該修習高相,什麼時候應該修習舍相,這樣的比丘就是不知時。如果比丘善知時,就是知道什麼時候應該修習下相,什麼時候應該修習高相,什麼時候應該修習舍相,這就是比丘善知時。』 『比丘如何知節呢?就是比丘知道節制,無論是飲水、吃飯、行走、站立、坐下、躺臥、說話、沉默、大小便,都要去除睡眠,修行正智,這就是比丘知節。如果比丘不知節,就是不知道節制,無論是飲水、吃飯、行走、站立、坐下、躺臥、說話、沉默、大小便,都要去除睡眠,修行正智,這樣的比丘就是不知節。如果比丘善知節,就是知道節制,無論是飲水、吃飯、行走、站立、坐下、躺臥、說話、沉默、大小便,都要去除睡眠,修行正智,這就是比丘善知節。』 『比丘如何知己呢?就是比丘自己知道自己有多少信、戒、聞、施、慧、辯、阿含以及所得,這就是比丘知己。如果比丘不知己,就是不知道自己有多少信、戒、聞、施、慧、辯、阿含以及所得,這樣的比丘就是不知己。如果比丘善知己,就是自己知道自己有多少信、戒、聞、施、慧、辯、阿含以及所得,這就是比丘善知己。』 『比丘如何知眾呢?就是比丘知道這是剎帝利眾、這是婆羅門眾、這是居士眾、這是沙門眾,我在這些眾中應該如何去、如何住、如何坐、如何說、如何默,這就是比丘知眾。如果比丘不知眾,就是不知道這是剎帝利眾、這是婆羅門眾、這是居士眾、這是沙門眾,我在這些眾中應該如何去、如何住、如何坐、如何說、如何默,這樣的比丘就是不知眾。如果比丘善知眾,就是知道這是剎帝利眾、這是婆羅門眾、這是居士眾、這是沙門眾,我在這些眾中應該如何去、如何住、如何坐、如何說、如何默,這就是比丘善知眾。』 『比丘如何知人勝如呢?就是比丘知道有兩種人,有信的人和不信的人;如果信的人勝,不信的人就不如。信的人又有兩種,有經常去見比丘的人和不經常去見比丘的人;如果經常去見比丘的人勝,不經常去見比丘的人就不如。』
English version: The Middle Length Discourses, Volume 1 Translated by the Tripitaka Master Gautama Sangha Deva from Kipin at the East Pavilion Temple during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu and Emperor An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, from November of the first year of Long'an to June of the second year. Daozu recorded the translation. The First Chapter of the Seven Factors in the Middle Length Discourses (Ten Sutras) (Recited on the first day) (Five and a half chapters, totaling sixty-four sutras) Good Dharma, Day-Passing Tree, City, Water, Wood Pile Analogy Good People Go, Worldly Blessings, Sun, Chariot, Seven Exhaustions (1) The First Sutra on Good Dharma in the Chapter of the Seven Factors in the Middle Length Discourses Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Savatthi, in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu is accomplished in seven factors, he will find joy and happiness among the noble ones and will rightly proceed to the extinction of defilements. What are the seven? They are: a bhikkhu knowing the Dharma, knowing the meaning, knowing the time, knowing the measure, knowing oneself, knowing the assembly, and knowing the superiority of persons.' 'How does a bhikkhu know the Dharma? It is when a bhikkhu knows the sutras, the songs, the narratives, the verses, the causes, the compilations, the origins, the explanations, the places of birth, the detailed explanations, the unprecedented teachings, and the meaning of these teachings. This is how a bhikkhu knows the Dharma. If a bhikkhu does not know the Dharma, he does not know the sutras, the songs, the narratives, the verses, the causes, the compilations, the origins, the explanations, the places of birth, the detailed explanations, the unprecedented teachings, and the meaning of these teachings. Such a bhikkhu does not know the Dharma. If a bhikkhu knows the Dharma well, he knows the sutras, the songs, the narratives, the verses, the causes, the compilations, the origins, the explanations, the places of birth, the detailed explanations, the unprecedented teachings, and the meaning of these teachings. This is how a bhikkhu knows the Dharma well.' 'How does a bhikkhu know the meaning? It is when a bhikkhu knows that this statement means this, and that statement means that. This is how a bhikkhu knows the meaning. If a bhikkhu does not know the meaning, he does not know that this statement means this, and that statement means that. Such a bhikkhu does not know the meaning. If a bhikkhu knows the meaning well, he knows that this statement means this, and that statement means that. This is how a bhikkhu knows the meaning well.' 'How does a bhikkhu know the time? It is when a bhikkhu knows when to practice the lower aspect, when to practice the higher aspect, and when to practice the aspect of equanimity. This is how a bhikkhu knows the time. If a bhikkhu does not know the time, he does not know when to practice the lower aspect, when to practice the higher aspect, and when to practice the aspect of equanimity. Such a bhikkhu does not know the time. If a bhikkhu knows the time well, he knows when to practice the lower aspect, when to practice the higher aspect, and when to practice the aspect of equanimity. This is how a bhikkhu knows the time well.' 'How does a bhikkhu know the measure? It is when a bhikkhu knows moderation in drinking, eating, walking, standing, sitting, lying down, speaking, being silent, and in eliminating sleep, practicing right wisdom. This is how a bhikkhu knows the measure. If a bhikkhu does not know the measure, he does not know moderation in drinking, eating, walking, standing, sitting, lying down, speaking, being silent, and in eliminating sleep, practicing right wisdom. Such a bhikkhu does not know the measure. If a bhikkhu knows the measure well, he knows moderation in drinking, eating, walking, standing, sitting, lying down, speaking, being silent, and in eliminating sleep, practicing right wisdom. This is how a bhikkhu knows the measure well.' 'How does a bhikkhu know oneself? It is when a bhikkhu knows for himself how much faith, morality, learning, generosity, wisdom, eloquence, the Agamas, and attainments he has. This is how a bhikkhu knows oneself. If a bhikkhu does not know oneself, he does not know how much faith, morality, learning, generosity, wisdom, eloquence, the Agamas, and attainments he has. Such a bhikkhu does not know oneself. If a bhikkhu knows oneself well, he knows for himself how much faith, morality, learning, generosity, wisdom, eloquence, the Agamas, and attainments he has. This is how a bhikkhu knows oneself well.' 'How does a bhikkhu know the assembly? It is when a bhikkhu knows that this is an assembly of kshatriyas, this is an assembly of brahmins, this is an assembly of householders, and this is an assembly of ascetics. In these assemblies, I should go, stand, sit, speak, and be silent in this way. This is how a bhikkhu knows the assembly. If a bhikkhu does not know the assembly, he does not know that this is an assembly of kshatriyas, this is an assembly of brahmins, this is an assembly of householders, and this is an assembly of ascetics. In these assemblies, I should go, stand, sit, speak, and be silent in this way. Such a bhikkhu does not know the assembly. If a bhikkhu knows the assembly well, he knows that this is an assembly of kshatriyas, this is an assembly of brahmins, this is an assembly of householders, and this is an assembly of ascetics. In these assemblies, I should go, stand, sit, speak, and be silent in this way. This is how a bhikkhu knows the assembly well.' 'How does a bhikkhu know the superiority of persons? It is when a bhikkhu knows that there are two kinds of people, those who have faith and those who do not have faith. If those who have faith are superior, those who do not have faith are inferior. Among those who have faith, there are two kinds, those who frequently visit bhikkhus and those who do not frequently visit bhikkhus. If those who frequently visit bhikkhus are superior, those who do not frequently visit bhikkhus are inferior.'
謂數往見比丘人復有二種,有禮敬比丘、有不禮敬比丘;若禮敬比丘者勝,不禮敬比丘者為不如也。謂禮敬比丘人復有二種,有問經、有不問經;若問經者勝,不問經者為不如也。謂問經人復有二種,有一心聽經、有不一心聽經;若一心聽經者勝,不一心聽經者為不如也。謂一心聽經人復有二種,有聞持法、有聞不持法;若聞持法者勝,聞不持法者為不如也。謂聞持法人復有二種,有聞法觀義、有聞法不觀義;若聞法觀義者勝,聞法不觀義者為不如也。謂聞法觀義人復有二種,有知法、知義、向法次法、隨順於法、如法行之;有不知法、不知義、不向法次法、不隨順法、不如法行。若知法、知義、向法次法、隨順於法、如法行者勝;不知法、不知義、不向法次法、不隨順法、不如法行者為不如也。謂知法、知義、向法次法、隨順於法、如法行人復有二種,有自饒益,亦饒益他,饒益多人,愍傷世間,為天、為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂;有不自饒益,亦不饒益他,不饒益多人,不愍傷世間,不為天、不為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂。若自饒益,亦饒益他,饒益多人,愍傷世間,為天、為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂者,此人于彼人中為極第一,為大、為上、為最、為勝、為尊、為妙
現代漢語譯本 關於前往拜訪比丘的人,又分為兩種:一種是禮敬比丘的,一種是不禮敬比丘的;如果禮敬比丘的就勝過不禮敬比丘的,不禮敬比丘的就不如禮敬比丘的。關於禮敬比丘的人,又分為兩種:一種是請問佛經的,一種是不請問佛經的;如果請問佛經的就勝過不請問佛經的,不請問佛經的就不如請問佛經的。關於請問佛經的人,又分為兩種:一種是專心聽經的,一種是不專心聽經的;如果專心聽經的就勝過不專心聽經的,不專心聽經的就不如專心聽經的。關於專心聽經的人,又分為兩種:一種是聽聞佛法后能記住的,一種是聽聞佛法后不能記住的;如果聽聞佛法后能記住的就勝過聽聞佛法后不能記住的,聽聞佛法后不能記住的就不如聽聞佛法后能記住的。關於聽聞佛法后能記住的人,又分為兩種:一種是聽聞佛法后能觀察其義理的,一種是聽聞佛法后不能觀察其義理的;如果聽聞佛法后能觀察其義理的就勝過聽聞佛法后不能觀察其義理的,聽聞佛法后不能觀察其義理的就不如聽聞佛法后能觀察其義理的。關於聽聞佛法后能觀察其義理的人,又分為兩種:一種是瞭解佛法、瞭解義理、傾向於佛法、遵循佛法、依佛法而行;一種是不瞭解佛法、不瞭解義理、不傾向於佛法、不遵循佛法、不依佛法而行。如果瞭解佛法、瞭解義理、傾向於佛法、遵循佛法、依佛法而行的人就勝過不瞭解佛法、不瞭解義理、不傾向於佛法、不遵循佛法、不依佛法而行的人;不瞭解佛法、不瞭解義理、不傾向於佛法、不遵循佛法、不依佛法而行的人就不如瞭解佛法、瞭解義理、傾向於佛法、遵循佛法、依佛法而行的人。關於瞭解佛法、瞭解義理、傾向於佛法、遵循佛法、依佛法而行的人,又分為兩種:一種是能自我饒益,也能饒益他人,饒益眾多人,憐憫世間,為天人和人求取義理和饒益,求取安穩快樂;一種是不能自我饒益,也不能饒益他人,不饒益眾多人,不憐憫世間,不為天人和人求取義理和饒益,求取安穩快樂。如果能自我饒益,也能饒益他人,饒益眾多人,憐憫世間,為天人和人求取義理和饒益,求取安穩快樂的人,此人在這些人中是極其第一的,是偉大、是至上、是最殊勝、是尊貴、是美妙的。
English version Regarding those who go to see the bhikkhus, there are again two kinds: those who pay respect to the bhikkhus and those who do not pay respect to the bhikkhus. If one pays respect to the bhikkhus, they are superior; if one does not pay respect to the bhikkhus, they are inferior. Regarding those who pay respect to the bhikkhus, there are again two kinds: those who ask about the scriptures and those who do not ask about the scriptures. If one asks about the scriptures, they are superior; if one does not ask about the scriptures, they are inferior. Regarding those who ask about the scriptures, there are again two kinds: those who listen to the scriptures with a focused mind and those who do not listen to the scriptures with a focused mind. If one listens to the scriptures with a focused mind, they are superior; if one does not listen to the scriptures with a focused mind, they are inferior. Regarding those who listen to the scriptures with a focused mind, there are again two kinds: those who remember the Dharma after hearing it and those who do not remember the Dharma after hearing it. If one remembers the Dharma after hearing it, they are superior; if one does not remember the Dharma after hearing it, they are inferior. Regarding those who remember the Dharma after hearing it, there are again two kinds: those who contemplate the meaning of the Dharma after hearing it and those who do not contemplate the meaning of the Dharma after hearing it. If one contemplates the meaning of the Dharma after hearing it, they are superior; if one does not contemplate the meaning of the Dharma after hearing it, they are inferior. Regarding those who contemplate the meaning of the Dharma after hearing it, there are again two kinds: those who understand the Dharma, understand the meaning, incline towards the Dharma, follow the Dharma, and practice according to the Dharma; and those who do not understand the Dharma, do not understand the meaning, do not incline towards the Dharma, do not follow the Dharma, and do not practice according to the Dharma. If one understands the Dharma, understands the meaning, inclines towards the Dharma, follows the Dharma, and practices according to the Dharma, they are superior; if one does not understand the Dharma, does not understand the meaning, does not incline towards the Dharma, does not follow the Dharma, and does not practice according to the Dharma, they are inferior. Regarding those who understand the Dharma, understand the meaning, incline towards the Dharma, follow the Dharma, and practice according to the Dharma, there are again two kinds: those who benefit themselves, also benefit others, benefit many, have compassion for the world, and seek righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness; and those who do not benefit themselves, also do not benefit others, do not benefit many, do not have compassion for the world, and do not seek righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness. If one benefits themselves, also benefits others, benefits many, has compassion for the world, and seeks righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness, this person among these people is the most supreme, the greatest, the highest, the most excellent, the most venerable, and the most wonderful.
。譬如因牛有乳,因乳有酪,因酪有生酥,因生酥有熟酥,因熟酥有酥精,酥精者,于彼中為極第一,為大、為上、為最、為勝、為尊、為妙,如是若人自饒益,亦饒益他,饒益多人,愍傷世間,為天、為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂。此二人如上所說,如上分別,如上施設,此為第一,為大,為上、為最、為勝、為尊、為妙,是謂比丘知人勝如。」
佛說如是。彼諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。
善法經第一竟(一千四百二十三字)
(二)中阿含七法品晝度樹經第二(初一日誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若三十三天晝度樹葉萎黃,是時,三十三天悅樂歡喜,晝度樹葉不久當落。複次,三十三天晝度樹葉已落,是時,三十三天悅樂歡喜,晝度樹葉不久當還生。複次,三十三天晝度樹葉已還生,是時,三十三天悅樂歡喜,晝度樹不久當生網。複次,三十三天晝度樹已生網,是時,三十三天悅樂歡喜,晝度樹不久當生如鳥喙。複次,三十三天晝度樹已生如鳥喙,是時,三十三天悅樂歡喜,晝度樹不久當開如缽。複次,三十三天晝度樹已開如缽,是時,三十三天悅樂歡喜,晝度樹不久當盡敷開
現代漢語譯本:例如,因為牛有乳,因為乳有酪,因為酪有生酥,因為生酥有熟酥,因為熟酥有酥精。酥精,在這些之中是最好的,是最大的,是最高的,是最優的,是最殊勝的,是最尊貴的,是最美妙的。像這樣,如果有人能夠自我利益,也能利益他人,利益很多人,憐憫世間,為天人和人尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。這兩種人就像上面所說,像上面所分別,像上面所施設的那樣,是第一的,是最大的,是最高的,是最優的,是最殊勝的,是最尊貴的,是最美妙的。這就是比丘所知的,人中殊勝的道理。」 佛陀這樣說。那些比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 《善法經》第一部分結束(一千四百二十三個字) (二)《中阿含經》七法品《晝度樹經》第二(初一日誦) 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果三十三天的晝度樹葉子枯黃,這時,三十三天會感到喜悅和歡喜,因為晝度樹的葉子不久就會落下。再者,如果三十三天的晝度樹葉子已經落下,這時,三十三天會感到喜悅和歡喜,因為晝度樹的葉子不久就會重新生長。再者,如果三十三天的晝度樹葉子已經重新生長,這時,三十三天會感到喜悅和歡喜,因為晝度樹不久就會長出網狀結構。再者,如果三十三天的晝度樹已經長出網狀結構,這時,三十三天會感到喜悅和歡喜,因為晝度樹不久就會長出像鳥喙一樣的形狀。再者,如果三十三天的晝度樹已經長出像鳥喙一樣的形狀,這時,三十三天會感到喜悅和歡喜,因為晝度樹不久就會像缽一樣展開。再者,如果三十三天的晝度樹已經像缽一樣展開,這時,三十三天會感到喜悅和歡喜,因為晝度樹不久就會完全盛開。』
English version: For example, because there is milk from a cow, from milk there is curds, from curds there is raw butter, from raw butter there is cooked butter, from cooked butter there is ghee. Ghee, among these, is the very best, the greatest, the highest, the most excellent, the most superior, the most venerable, the most wonderful. Likewise, if a person benefits themselves, also benefits others, benefits many, has compassion for the world, seeks righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeks peace and happiness. These two kinds of people, as described above, as distinguished above, as established above, are the first, the greatest, the highest, the most excellent, the most superior, the most venerable, the most wonderful. This is what a bhikkhu knows, the superiority of people.』 The Buddha spoke thus. Those bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The end of the first part of the 'Good Dharma Sutra' (one thousand four hundred and twenty-three words). (2) The second sutra of the 'Day-Crossing Tree Sutra' in the 'Seven Dharmas Section' of the 'Middle Length Discourses' (recited on the first day). Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, 『If the leaves of the Day-Crossing Tree of the Thirty-three Gods turn yellow, at that time, the Thirty-three Gods are pleased and joyful, for the leaves of the Day-Crossing Tree will soon fall. Furthermore, if the leaves of the Day-Crossing Tree of the Thirty-three Gods have fallen, at that time, the Thirty-three Gods are pleased and joyful, for the leaves of the Day-Crossing Tree will soon grow back. Furthermore, if the leaves of the Day-Crossing Tree of the Thirty-three Gods have grown back, at that time, the Thirty-three Gods are pleased and joyful, for the Day-Crossing Tree will soon grow a net-like structure. Furthermore, if the Day-Crossing Tree of the Thirty-three Gods has grown a net-like structure, at that time, the Thirty-three Gods are pleased and joyful, for the Day-Crossing Tree will soon grow like a bird's beak. Furthermore, if the Day-Crossing Tree of the Thirty-three Gods has grown like a bird's beak, at that time, the Thirty-three Gods are pleased and joyful, for the Day-Crossing Tree will soon open like a bowl. Furthermore, if the Day-Crossing Tree of the Thirty-three Gods has opened like a bowl, at that time, the Thirty-three Gods are pleased and joyful, for the Day-Crossing Tree will soon be in full bloom.』
。若晝度樹已盡敷開,光所照、色所映、香所熏,周百由延,是時,三十三天于中夏四月,以天五欲功德具足而自娛樂,是謂三十三天于晝度樹下集會娛樂也。
「如是義,聖弟子亦復爾,思念出家,是時聖弟子名為葉黃,猶三十三天晝度樹葉萎黃也。複次,聖弟子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道,是時聖弟子名為葉落,猶三十三天晝度樹葉落也。複次,聖弟子離欲、離惡不善之法,有覺、有觀,離生喜樂,得初禪成就游,是時,聖弟子名葉還生,猶三十三天晝度樹葉還生也。複次,聖弟子覺觀已息,內靜、一心,無覺無觀,定生喜樂,得第二禪成就游,是時,聖弟子名為生網,猶三十三天晝度樹生網也。複次,聖弟子離於喜欲,舍無求游,正念正智而身覺樂,謂聖所說、聖所舍、念、樂住、空,得第三禪成就游,是時,聖弟子名生如鳥喙,猶三十三天晝度樹如鳥喙也。複次,聖弟子樂滅、苦滅,喜憂本已滅,不苦不樂、舍、念、清凈,得第四禪成就游,是時,聖弟子名生如缽,猶三十三天晝度樹如缽也
現代漢語譯本:如果晝度樹完全盛開,它的光芒照耀、色彩映襯、香氣薰染,能覆蓋方圓百由延的範圍。這時,三十三天會在夏季四月,以天界的五種慾望功德圓滿地自我娛樂,這就是三十三天在晝度樹下娛樂的情景。 同樣的道理,聖弟子也是如此。當他思念出家時,這位聖弟子被稱為『葉黃』,就像三十三天晝度樹的葉子枯黃一樣。進一步,當聖弟子剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信念捨棄家庭,離開世俗,開始修道時,這位聖弟子被稱為『葉落』,就像三十三天晝度樹的葉子凋落一樣。進一步,當聖弟子遠離慾望,遠離邪惡不善的法,擁有覺悟和觀察,從遠離世俗中獲得喜悅和快樂,達到初禪的境界時,這位聖弟子被稱為『葉還生』,就像三十三天晝度樹的葉子重新生長一樣。進一步,當聖弟子停止覺悟和觀察,內心平靜,一心不亂,沒有覺悟和觀察,從禪定中獲得喜悅和快樂,達到第二禪的境界時,這位聖弟子被稱為『生網』,就像三十三天晝度樹長出網狀結構一樣。進一步,當聖弟子捨棄喜悅的慾望,放下一切追求,以正念和正智感受身體的快樂,即聖人所說、聖人所捨棄的、念、樂的安住、空,達到第三禪的境界時,這位聖弟子被稱為『生如鳥喙』,就像三十三天晝度樹長出鳥喙一樣的形狀。進一步,當聖弟子滅除快樂和痛苦,喜悅和憂愁都已消失,達到不苦不樂、捨棄、念、清凈的境界,達到第四禪的境界時,這位聖弟子被稱為『生如缽』,就像三十三天晝度樹長出缽一樣的形狀。
English version: If the Day-Measure Tree is in full bloom, its light shines, its colors reflect, and its fragrance permeates, covering a radius of a hundred yojanas. At this time, the Thirty-three Gods, in the fourth month of summer, enjoy themselves with the full merits of the five heavenly desires. This is how the Thirty-three Gods entertain themselves under the Day-Measure Tree. In the same way, a noble disciple is also like this. When he contemplates renunciation, this noble disciple is called 'Yellow Leaf,' just as the leaves of the Day-Measure Tree of the Thirty-three Gods turn yellow. Further, when the noble disciple shaves his hair and beard, puts on the monastic robe, with faith, leaves his home, abandons the worldly life, and begins the path of practice, this noble disciple is called 'Fallen Leaf,' just as the leaves of the Day-Measure Tree of the Thirty-three Gods fall. Further, when the noble disciple is detached from desires, detached from evil and unwholesome states, possesses initial application and sustained application, and attains joy and happiness born of detachment, achieving and abiding in the first jhana, this noble disciple is called 'Leaf Regrown,' just as the leaves of the Day-Measure Tree of the Thirty-three Gods regrow. Further, when the noble disciple has ceased initial and sustained application, has inner tranquility, has unification of mind, without initial and sustained application, and attains joy and happiness born of concentration, achieving and abiding in the second jhana, this noble disciple is called 'Net Growth,' just as the Day-Measure Tree of the Thirty-three Gods grows a net-like structure. Further, when the noble disciple is detached from the desire for joy, dwells in equanimity, mindful and clearly comprehending, experiencing bodily pleasure, which is what the noble ones speak of, what the noble ones abandon, mindfulness, abiding in pleasure, emptiness, achieving and abiding in the third jhana, this noble disciple is called 'Growth Like a Bird's Beak,' just as the Day-Measure Tree of the Thirty-three Gods grows a shape like a bird's beak. Further, when the noble disciple has abandoned pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow have already ceased, and attains a state of neither-pain-nor-pleasure, equanimity, mindfulness, and purity, achieving and abiding in the fourth jhana, this noble disciple is called 'Growth Like a Bowl,' just as the Day-Measure Tree of the Thirty-three Gods grows a shape like a bowl.

「複次,聖弟子諸漏已盡,心解脫、慧解脫,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真,是時,聖弟子名盡敷開,猶三十三天晝度樹盡敷開也。彼為漏盡阿羅訶比丘,三十三天集在善法正殿,咨嗟稱歎:『某尊弟子于某村邑剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道,諸漏已盡,心解脫、慧解脫,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。』是謂漏盡阿羅訶共集會也,如三十三天晝度樹下共集會也。」
晝度樹經第二竟(七百五十二字)
(三)中阿含七法品城喻經第三(初一日誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「如王邊城七事具足,四食豐饒,易不難得,是故王城不為外敵破,唯除內自壞。
「云何王城七事具足?謂王邊城造立樓櫓,筑地使堅,不可毀壞,為內安隱,制外怨敵,是謂王城一事具足。複次,如王邊城掘鑿池塹,極使深廣,修備可依,為內安隱,制外怨敵,是謂王城二事具足。複次,如王邊城周匝通道,開除平博,為內安隱,制外怨敵,是謂王城三事具足
『再者,聖弟子諸漏已盡,心解脫、慧解脫,在現世中自己了知、自己覺悟,自己作證成就而住,生死已盡,清凈的修行已建立,該做的已做完,不再受後有,如實知曉真諦。這時,聖弟子被稱為完全綻放,就像三十三天界的晝度樹完全綻放一樣。他們是漏盡的阿羅漢比丘,三十三天眾神聚集在善法正殿,讚歎道:『某位尊者弟子在某村莊剃除鬚髮,身披袈裟,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家學道,諸漏已盡,心解脫、慧解脫,在現世中自己了知、自己覺悟,自己作證成就而住,生死已盡,清凈的修行已建立,該做的已做完,不再受後有,如實知曉真諦。』這就是漏盡的阿羅漢所共有的,就像三十三天在晝度樹下所共有的。』 佛陀如是說。那些比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《晝度樹經》第二完(七百五十二字) (三)《中阿含經·七法品·城喻經》第三(初一日誦) 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如同國王的邊城具備七種條件,四種食物豐饒,容易獲得,不難得到,因此王城不會被外敵攻破,除非內部自己毀壞。 『國王的邊城如何具備七種條件呢?所謂國王的邊城建造了樓櫓,夯實地基使其堅固,不可摧毀,爲了內部安穩,制服外部敵人,這是王城具備的第一種條件。再者,如同國王的邊城挖掘了池塘和壕溝,使其極其深廣,修繕完備可以依靠,爲了內部安穩,制服外部敵人,這是王城具備的第二種條件。再者,如同國王的邊城周圍有通道,開闊平坦,爲了內部安穩,制服外部敵人,這是王城具備的第三種條件。
'Furthermore, a noble disciple, having eradicated all defilements, experiences liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom. In this very life, they realize it themselves through direct knowledge, having attained and abided in it. Birth is exhausted, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, there is no more return to any state of being, and they know it as it truly is. At this time, the noble disciple is said to be fully blossomed, just like the Day-Blooming Tree of the Thirty-Three Gods is fully blossomed. They are a defilement-free Arhat bhikkhu, and the Thirty-Three Gods gather in the Hall of Good Law, praising and extolling: 『A certain venerable disciple, in a certain village, having shaved their hair and beard, donned the saffron robe, with sincere faith, having left home, gone forth from the household life into homelessness, has eradicated all defilements, experiences liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom. In this very life, they realize it themselves through direct knowledge, having attained and abided in it. Birth is exhausted, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, there is no more return to any state of being, and they know it as it truly is.』 This is what is shared by defilement-free Arhats, just as what is shared by the Thirty-Three Gods under the Day-Blooming Tree.' Thus spoke the Buddha. Those bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The Day-Blooming Tree Sutta, the Second, is concluded. (752 words) (3) The City Simile Sutta, the Third, of the Seven Factors Chapter of the Middle Length Discourses (to be recited on the first day) At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Savatthi, in Jeta』s Grove, Anathapindika』s Park. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 『Just as a king』s border city is equipped with seven factors, and the four kinds of food are abundant, easily obtained, and not difficult to find, therefore the royal city is not broken by external enemies, except by internal self-destruction. 『How is a king』s border city equipped with seven factors? It is when the king』s border city has watchtowers built, the ground is made firm, indestructible, for internal security, and to subdue external enemies. This is the first factor with which a royal city is equipped. Furthermore, just as the king』s border city has ponds and moats dug, made extremely deep and wide, well-maintained and reliable, for internal security, and to subdue external enemies. This is the second factor with which a royal city is equipped. Furthermore, just as the king』s border city has roads all around, cleared and level, for internal security, and to subdue external enemies. This is the third factor with which a royal city is equipped.
。複次,如王邊城集四種軍力,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,為內安隱,制外怨敵,是謂王城四事具足。複次,如王邊城豫備軍器弓、矢、鉾、戟,為內安隱,制外怨敵,是謂王城五事具足。複次,如王邊城立守門大將,明略智辯,勇毅奇謀,善則聽入,不善則禁,為內安隱,制外怨敵,是謂王城六事具足。複次,如王邊城筑立高墻,令極牢固,泥塗堊灑,為內安隱,制外怨敵,是謂王城七事具足也。

「如是,若聖弟子亦得七善法,逮四增上心,易不難得。是故聖弟子不為魔王之所得便,亦不隨惡不善之法,不為染污所染,不復更受生也
現代漢語譯本:再者,如果國王在邊境城市集結象軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍四種軍隊,是爲了內部安穩,制服外來敵人,這叫做王城具備四種要素。再者,如果國王在邊境城市預備弓、箭、矛、戟等軍用器械,是爲了內部安穩,制服外來敵人,這叫做王城具備五種要素。再者,如果國王在邊境城市設立守門大將,此人明智有謀略,勇敢果斷,善於奇謀,對於好的就允許進入,不好的就禁止,是爲了內部安穩,制服外來敵人,這叫做王城具備六種要素。再者,如果國王在邊境城市修築高墻,使其極其牢固,用泥土塗抹,用白堊粉刷,是爲了內部安穩,制服外來敵人,這叫做王城具備七種要素。 現代漢語譯本:『什麼叫做王城四種食物豐饒,容易獲得呢?』是指國王的邊境城市有水草、柴木等物資的儲備,是爲了內部安穩,制服外來敵人,這叫做王城第一種食物豐饒,容易獲得。再者,如果國王的邊境城市大量收割稻穀並儲藏小麥,是爲了內部安穩,制服外來敵人,這叫做王城第二種食物豐饒,容易獲得。再者,如果國王的邊境城市大量積存黏豆和大小豆,是爲了內部安穩,制服外來敵人,這叫做王城第三種食物豐饒,容易獲得。再者,如果國王的邊境城市畜養酥油、蜂蜜以及甘蔗、糖、魚、鹽、肉乾,一切都具備,是爲了內部安穩,制服外來敵人,這叫做王城第四種食物豐饒,容易獲得。像這樣,王城具備七種要素,四種食物豐饒,容易獲得,就不會被外敵攻破,除非內部自己瓦解。 現代漢語譯本:『像這樣,如果聖弟子也獲得七種善法,達到四種增上心,就容易獲得。』因此,聖弟子不會被魔王所趁,也不會隨順邪惡不善之法,不會被染污所污染,不會再受輪迴之苦。
English version: Furthermore, if a king gathers four types of military forces—elephant troops, cavalry, chariots, and infantry—in his border city for the sake of internal security and to subdue external enemies, this is called the royal city possessing four elements. Furthermore, if a king prepares military equipment such as bows, arrows, spears, and halberds in his border city for the sake of internal security and to subdue external enemies, this is called the royal city possessing five elements. Furthermore, if a king establishes a gatekeeper general in his border city, who is intelligent, strategic, brave, decisive, and skilled in extraordinary tactics, allowing the good to enter and prohibiting the bad, for the sake of internal security and to subdue external enemies, this is called the royal city possessing six elements. Furthermore, if a king builds high walls in his border city, making them extremely solid, plastered with mud, and whitewashed, for the sake of internal security and to subdue external enemies, this is called the royal city possessing seven elements. English version: 'What is meant by the royal city having four abundant and easily obtainable foods?' It refers to the king's border city having reserves of resources such as water, grass, and firewood, for the sake of internal security and to subdue external enemies, this is called the royal city having the first abundant and easily obtainable food. Furthermore, if the king's border city harvests a large amount of rice and stores wheat, for the sake of internal security and to subdue external enemies, this is called the royal city having the second abundant and easily obtainable food. Furthermore, if the king's border city accumulates a large amount of sticky beans and small and large beans, for the sake of internal security and to subdue external enemies, this is called the royal city having the third abundant and easily obtainable food. Furthermore, if the king's border city has butter, honey, as well as sugarcane, sugar, fish, salt, and dried meat, all fully available, for the sake of internal security and to subdue external enemies, this is called the royal city having the fourth abundant and easily obtainable food. In this way, a royal city that possesses seven elements and has four abundant and easily obtainable foods will not be broken by external enemies, unless it collapses from within. English version: 'Likewise, if a noble disciple also obtains seven good qualities and attains four higher minds, it is easily obtainable.' Therefore, a noble disciple will not be taken advantage of by the demon king, nor will they follow evil and unwholesome practices, nor will they be defiled by defilements, and they will no longer undergo rebirth.

『聖弟子如何獲得七種善法?』 意思是說,聖弟子獲得堅固的信仰,深深地依附如來,信仰的根基已經確立,最終不會跟隨外道的沙門、婆羅門,無論是天神、魔鬼、梵天還是其他世俗之人。這被稱為聖弟子獲得第一種善法。其次,聖弟子常常感到慚愧,知道什麼是可慚愧的,對於邪惡不善的法感到羞恥,因為它們會污染煩惱,遭受惡報,併成為生死輪迴的根源。這被稱為聖弟子獲得第二種善法。再次,聖弟子常常感到羞愧,知道什麼是可羞愧的,對於邪惡不善的法感到羞恥,因為它們會污染煩惱,遭受惡報,併成為生死輪迴的根源。這被稱為聖弟子獲得第三種善法。再次,聖弟子常常精進修行,斷除邪惡不善的法,修習各種善法,始終自己發起意願,專一而堅定,作為各種善行的根本,不放棄方便之法。這被稱為聖弟子獲得第四種善法。再次,聖弟子廣泛學習,博聞強記,積累廣博的知識,所說的法,開始是善的,中間是善的,最終也是善的,有意義有文辭,具足清凈,顯現梵行,像這樣的法,廣泛學習,反覆練習,直到精通,用心思考觀察,明晰地理解和深入地領悟。這被稱為聖弟子獲得第五種善法。再次,聖弟子常常保持正念,成就正念,對於過去曾經學習過的,曾經聽聞過的,始終記憶不忘。這被稱為聖弟子獲得第六種善法。再次,聖弟子修行智慧,觀察興衰的規律,獲得這樣的智慧,聖潔的智慧明亮通達,能夠分辨清楚,用正道來徹底消除痛苦。這被稱為聖弟子獲得第七種善法。 『聖弟子如何獲得四種增上心,並且容易獲得而不困難呢?』 意思是說,聖弟子遠離慾望,遠離邪惡不善的法,有覺知,有觀察,從遠離中產生喜悅和快樂,獲得初禪並安住其中。這被稱為聖弟子獲得第一種增上心,並且容易獲得而不困難。
'How does a noble disciple obtain the seven good qualities?' It means that a noble disciple obtains firm faith, deeply attached to the Tathagata, the root of faith has been established, and will ultimately not follow external ascetics, Brahmins, whether gods, demons, Brahma, or other worldly beings. This is called a noble disciple obtaining the first good quality. Furthermore, a noble disciple always feels shame and remorse, knowing what is shameful, feeling ashamed of evil and unwholesome dharmas because they pollute afflictions, suffer evil consequences, and become the root of the cycle of birth and death. This is called a noble disciple obtaining the second good quality. Again, a noble disciple always feels shame and remorse, knowing what is shameful, feeling ashamed of evil and unwholesome dharmas because they pollute afflictions, suffer evil consequences, and become the root of the cycle of birth and death. This is called a noble disciple obtaining the third good quality. Again, a noble disciple always practices diligence, cutting off evil and unwholesome dharmas, cultivating various good dharmas, always initiating intention, being focused and firm, as the root of all good deeds, not abandoning expedient means. This is called a noble disciple obtaining the fourth good quality. Again, a noble disciple learns widely, remembers much, accumulates extensive knowledge, the so-called dharma, the beginning is good, the middle is good, and the end is also good, with meaning and words, complete and pure, revealing the Brahma conduct, such dharmas are widely learned, practiced repeatedly until proficient, contemplated with the mind, clearly understood and deeply comprehended. This is called a noble disciple obtaining the fifth good quality. Again, a noble disciple always maintains mindfulness, achieves right mindfulness, for what has been learned in the past, what has been heard, always remembers and does not forget. This is called a noble disciple obtaining the sixth good quality.

現代漢語譯本:再者,聖弟子覺和觀已經止息,內心平靜,達到一心不亂的狀態,沒有覺和觀,在禪定中產生喜悅和快樂,進入併成就第二禪,這就是聖弟子所達到的第二種增上心,是容易獲得而不難得到的。再者,聖弟子捨棄了對喜的慾望,以舍心安住,保持正念和正知,身體感受到快樂,這就是聖者所說、聖者所舍的,以正念安住于快樂的空性之中,進入併成就第三禪,這就是聖弟子所達到的第三種增上心,是容易獲得而不難得到的。再者,聖弟子滅除了快樂和痛苦,喜和憂也早已滅除,達到不苦不樂、舍、念、清凈的狀態,進入併成就第四禪,這就是聖弟子所達到的第四種增上心,是容易獲得而不難得到的。 像這樣,聖弟子獲得了七種善法,達到了四種增上心,是容易獲得而不難得到的。不會被魔王所控制,也不會隨順邪惡不善的法,不會被污染所染污,不再承受輪迴的生死。就像國王在邊境城市建造樓櫓,把地基筑得堅固,不可摧毀,是爲了內部的安全,抵禦外部的敵人。像這樣,聖弟子獲得了堅固的信心,深深地依附於如來,信根已經建立,最終不會隨順外道的沙門、婆羅門,或者天、魔、梵以及其他世間,這就是聖弟子獲得的信心的樓櫓,用來去除邪惡不善,修習各種善法。 就像國王在邊境城市挖掘池塹,使其非常深廣,修繕完備可以依靠,是爲了內部的安全,抵禦外部的敵人。像這樣,聖弟子常常實行慚愧和羞恥,知道什麼是可慚愧的,對於邪惡不善的法感到羞恥,因為這些法會帶來污染和煩惱,承受各種惡報,是生死輪迴的根本,這就是聖弟子獲得的慚愧的池塹,用來去除邪惡不善,修習各種善法。 就像國王在邊境城市周圍開闢道路,使其開闊平坦,是爲了內部的安全,抵禦外部的敵人。
English version: Furthermore, a noble disciple, with the cessation of directed thought and evaluation, attains inner stillness and unification of mind, without directed thought or evaluation, experiencing joy and pleasure born of concentration, entering and abiding in the second jhana. This is called the second higher mind attained by a noble disciple, which is easily obtained and not difficult to achieve. Furthermore, a noble disciple, with the fading away of delight, abides in equanimity, mindful and clearly comprehending, experiencing pleasure with the body, which is what the noble ones speak of, what the noble ones have abandoned, abiding in mindfulness and pleasure, in emptiness, entering and abiding in the third jhana. This is called the third higher mind attained by a noble disciple, which is easily obtained and not difficult to achieve. Furthermore, a noble disciple, with the abandoning of pleasure and pain, and the previous cessation of joy and sorrow, attains a state of neither-pain-nor-pleasure, equanimity, mindfulness, and purity, entering and abiding in the fourth jhana. This is called the fourth higher mind attained by a noble disciple, which is easily obtained and not difficult to achieve. Thus, a noble disciple obtains seven good qualities and attains four higher minds, which are easily obtained and not difficult to achieve. He is not under the control of Mara, nor does he follow evil and unwholesome teachings, nor is he defiled by defilements, and he no longer undergoes rebirth. Just as a king builds towers and ramparts in a border city, making the foundation strong and indestructible, for internal security and to repel external enemies, so too, a noble disciple obtains firm faith, deeply attached to the Tathagata, with the root of faith established, and will never follow external ascetics, brahmins, or gods, Mara, Brahma, or any other worldly beings. This is called the tower of faith obtained by a noble disciple, used to remove evil and unwholesome things and cultivate all good things. Just as a king digs moats around a border city, making them very deep and wide, well-maintained and reliable, for internal security and to repel external enemies, so too, a noble disciple always practices shame and remorse, knowing what is shameful, feeling ashamed of evil and unwholesome things, because these things bring defilement and afflictions, and lead to various evil consequences, and are the root of the cycle of birth and death. This is called the moat of shame obtained by a noble disciple, used to remove evil and unwholesome things and cultivate all good things. Just as a king opens up roads around a border city, making them wide and flat, for internal security and to repel external enemies.
。如是,聖弟子常行羞愧,可愧知愧,惡不善法穢污煩惱,受諸惡報,造生死本,是謂聖弟子得愧平道,除惡不善,修諸善法也。
「如王邊城集四種軍力,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,為內安隱,制外怨敵。如是,聖弟子常行精進,斷惡不善,修諸善法,恒自起意,專一堅固,為諸善本,不捨方便,是謂聖弟子得精進軍力,除惡不善,修諸善法也。

現代漢語譯本:如此,聖弟子常常懷有羞愧之心,對於可恥之事感到羞愧,厭惡那些不善的、污穢的煩惱,這些煩惱會招致惡報,是生死輪迴的根源。這就是所謂的聖弟子獲得了羞愧的平等之道,從而去除惡行和不善,修習各種善法。 現代漢語譯本:如同國王在邊境城市集結四種軍隊力量,包括象軍、馬軍、車軍和步軍,是爲了保障內部的安穩,並制服外部的敵人。同樣,聖弟子常常精進修行,斷除惡行和不善,修習各種善法,始終保持堅定的意願,專心致志,作為一切善行的根本,不放棄任何方便之法。這就是所謂的聖弟子獲得了精進的軍隊力量,從而去除惡行和不善,修習各種善法。 現代漢語譯本:如同國王在邊境城市預備各種軍用器械,如弓、箭、矛、戟等,是爲了保障內部的安穩,並制服外部的敵人。同樣,聖弟子廣泛學習,博聞強記,積累豐富的知識,所學習的佛法,初善、中善、終亦善,既有義理又有文辭,圓滿清凈,能夠彰顯清凈的修行。像這樣的佛法,要廣泛學習,反覆練習,直至純熟,用心思考,明察深究,這就是所謂的聖弟子獲得了博聞的軍用器械,從而去除惡行和不善,修習各種善法。 現代漢語譯本:如同國王在邊境城市設立守門大將,此人明智、有謀略、能言善辯、勇敢果決、足智多謀,對於善的就允許進入,對於不善的就禁止進入,是爲了保障內部的安穩,並制服外部的敵人。同樣,聖弟子常常保持正念,成就正念,對於過去所學習的、所聽聞的,能夠長久憶念而不忘失。這就是所謂的聖弟子獲得了正念的守門大將,從而去除惡行和不善,修習各種善法。 現代漢語譯本:如同國王在邊境城市修築高墻,使其極其牢固,用泥土塗抹,用白堊粉刷,是爲了保障內部的安穩,並制服外部的敵人。同樣,聖弟子修行智慧,觀察世間萬物的興衰變化,從而獲得智慧,這種智慧是聖潔的、明達的,能夠分辨清楚,通過正道來徹底消除痛苦。這就是所謂的聖弟子獲得了智慧的城墻,從而去除惡行和不善,修習各種善法。
English version: Thus, a noble disciple constantly practices shame, feeling ashamed of what is shameful, detesting unwholesome and defiling afflictions, which lead to bad consequences and are the root of the cycle of birth and death. This is what is called a noble disciple attaining the path of shame, thereby eliminating evil and unwholesomeness, and cultivating all good qualities. English version: Just as a king gathers four types of military forces in a border city—elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry—to ensure internal security and subdue external enemies, so too, a noble disciple constantly practices diligence, abandoning evil and unwholesomeness, cultivating all good qualities, always maintaining a firm intention, being focused and steadfast, as the foundation of all good deeds, and not abandoning any expedient means. This is what is called a noble disciple attaining the military strength of diligence, thereby eliminating evil and unwholesomeness, and cultivating all good qualities. English version: Just as a king prepares various military weapons in a border city, such as bows, arrows, spears, and halberds, to ensure internal security and subdue external enemies, so too, a noble disciple learns extensively, remembers what they have heard, accumulates vast knowledge, and the Dharma they learn is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with both meaning and words, complete and pure, revealing the pure conduct. Such Dharma should be learned extensively, practiced repeatedly until proficient, contemplated with the mind, and clearly understood deeply. This is what is called a noble disciple attaining the military weapons of learning, thereby eliminating evil and unwholesomeness, and cultivating all good qualities. English version: Just as a king establishes a gatekeeper general in a border city, who is wise, strategic, eloquent, brave, and resourceful, allowing the good to enter and prohibiting the unwholesome, to ensure internal security and subdue external enemies, so too, a noble disciple constantly practices mindfulness, achieving right mindfulness, remembering what they have learned and heard for a long time, and not forgetting it. This is what is called a noble disciple attaining the gatekeeper general of mindfulness, thereby eliminating evil and unwholesomeness, and cultivating all good qualities. English version: Just as a king builds high walls in a border city, making them extremely strong, plastered with mud and whitewashed, to ensure internal security and subdue external enemies, so too, a noble disciple cultivates wisdom, observing the rise and fall of all things, thereby attaining wisdom, which is noble, clear, and discerning, able to completely eliminate suffering through the right path. This is what is called a noble disciple attaining the wall of wisdom, thereby eliminating evil and unwholesomeness, and cultivating all good qualities.
「如王邊城水草樵木,資有豫備,為內安隱,制外怨敵。如是,聖弟子離欲、離惡不善之法,有覺、有觀,離生喜樂,逮初禪成就游,樂住無乏,安隱快樂,自致涅槃也。
「如王邊城多收稻穀及儲畜麥,為內安隱,制外怨敵。如是,聖弟子覺、觀已息,內靜、一心,無覺、無觀,定生喜樂,逮第二禪成就游,樂住無乏,安隱快樂,自致涅槃也。
「如王邊城多積秥豆及大小豆,為內安隱,制外怨敵。如是,聖弟子離於喜欲,舍無求游,正念正智而身覺樂,謂聖所說、聖所舍、念、樂住、空,逮第三禪成就游,樂住無乏,安隱快樂,自致涅槃也。
「如王邊城畜酥油、蜜及甘蔗、糖、魚、鹽、脯肉,一切充足,為內安隱,制外怨敵。如是,聖弟子樂滅、苦滅,喜、憂本已滅,不苦不樂、舍、念、清凈,逮第四禪成就游,樂住無乏,安隱快樂,自致涅槃。」

(四)中阿含七法品水喻經第四(初一日誦)
一時,佛游舍衛國,在勝林給孤獨園。爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我當爲汝說七水人。諦聽,諦聽!善思念之。」時,諸比丘受教而聽
『就像邊境城市的國王,儲備有水草、柴木,用以保障內部安寧,抵禦外敵。同樣,聖弟子捨棄慾望、捨棄不善之法,有覺知、有觀察,從舍離中生出喜悅和快樂,達到初禪的成就並安住其中,享受無盡的快樂,安穩快樂,最終證得涅槃。 『就像邊境城市的國王,大量儲備稻穀和麥子,用以保障內部安寧,抵禦外敵。同樣,聖弟子覺知和觀察止息,內心平靜、一心專注,沒有覺知和觀察,從禪定中生出喜悅和快樂,達到第二禪的成就並安住其中,享受無盡的快樂,安穩快樂,最終證得涅槃。 『就像邊境城市的國王,大量積蓄黏豆和大小豆,用以保障內部安寧,抵禦外敵。同樣,聖弟子捨棄喜悅的慾望,捨棄無所求的遊樂,以正念和正智感受身體的快樂,這被聖者稱為聖者所捨棄的、念、樂的安住,達到第三禪的成就並安住其中,享受無盡的快樂,安穩快樂,最終證得涅槃。 『就像邊境城市的國王,畜養酥油、蜂蜜以及甘蔗、糖、魚、鹽、脯肉,一切都充足,用以保障內部安寧,抵禦外敵。同樣,聖弟子快樂滅盡、痛苦滅盡,喜悅和憂愁原本已經滅盡,不苦不樂、捨棄、念、清凈,達到第四禪的成就並安住其中,享受無盡的快樂,安穩快樂,最終證得涅槃。』 《城喻經》第三結束(一千九百零二字) (四)《中阿含經》七法品《水喻經》第四(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在舍衛國,住在勝林給孤獨園。當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我將為你們講述七種水人。仔細聽,仔細聽!好好思考。』當時,眾比丘接受教誨並聽著。
'Just as a king of a border city has water, grass, firewood, and timber in reserve, to ensure internal security and defend against external enemies. Similarly, a noble disciple, having abandoned desire and unwholesome states, with initial application of thought and sustained application of thought, experiences joy and pleasure born of seclusion, attains the first jhana and dwells in it, enjoying boundless pleasure, secure and happy, and ultimately attains Nirvana.' 'Just as a king of a border city has abundant rice and stored wheat, to ensure internal security and defend against external enemies. Similarly, a noble disciple, with the cessation of initial and sustained application of thought, having inner tranquility and unification of mind, without initial and sustained application of thought, experiences joy and pleasure born of concentration, attains the second jhana and dwells in it, enjoying boundless pleasure, secure and happy, and ultimately attains Nirvana.' 'Just as a king of a border city has accumulated sticky beans and large and small beans, to ensure internal security and defend against external enemies. Similarly, a noble disciple, having abandoned the desire for joy, dwells in equanimity, mindful and clearly comprehending, experiencing bodily pleasure, which the noble ones describe as the equanimity of mindfulness and pleasure, attains the third jhana and dwells in it, enjoying boundless pleasure, secure and happy, and ultimately attains Nirvana.' 'Just as a king of a border city has butter, honey, sugarcane, sugar, fish, salt, and dried meat, all in abundance, to ensure internal security and defend against external enemies. Similarly, a noble disciple, with the abandoning of pleasure and pain, and the previous cessation of joy and sorrow, attains a state of neither-pain-nor-pleasure, equanimity, mindfulness, and purity, attains the fourth jhana and dwells in it, enjoying boundless pleasure, secure and happy, and ultimately attains Nirvana.' Thus spoke the Buddha. Those monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The City Simile Sutra, the third, ends (1902 words). (4) The Water Simile Sutra, the fourth, of the Seven Dharma Section of the Middle Length Discourses (recited on the first day) At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Savatthi, in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, 'I will teach you about seven kinds of people like water. Listen carefully, listen carefully! Reflect well on it.' Then, the monks, having accepted the teaching, listened.
佛言:「云何為七?或有一人常臥水中;或復有人出水還沒;或復有人出水而住;或復有人出水而住,住已而觀;或復有人出水而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡;或復有人出水而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡,渡已至彼岸;或復有人出水而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡,渡已至彼岸,至彼岸已,謂住岸人。如是,我當復為汝說七水喻人。諦聽,諦聽!善思念之。」時,諸比丘受教而聽。
佛言:「云何為七?或有人常臥;或復有人出已還沒;或復有人出已而住;或復有人出已而住,住已而觀;或復有人出已而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡;或復有人出已而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡,渡已至彼岸;或復有人出已而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡,渡已至彼岸,至彼岸已,謂住岸梵志。此七水喻人,我略說也。如上所說,如上施設。汝知何義?何所分別?有何因緣?」
時,諸比丘白世尊曰:「世尊為法本,世尊為法主,法由世尊,唯愿說之,我等聞已,得廣知義。」
佛便告曰:「汝等諦聽!善思念之。我當爲汝分別其義。」時,諸比丘受教而聽。
佛言:「云何有人常臥?謂或有人為不善法之所覆蓋,染污所染,受惡法報,造生死本,是謂有人常臥
佛陀說:『什麼是七種情況呢?有的人總是沉在水底;有的人從水裡出來又沉下去;有的人從水裡出來停留在水面;有的人從水裡出來停留在水面,停留後觀察;有的人從水裡出來停留在水面,停留後觀察,觀察后渡過;有的人從水裡出來停留在水面,停留後觀察,觀察后渡過,渡過到達彼岸;有的人從水裡出來停留在水面,停留後觀察,觀察后渡過,渡過到達彼岸,到達彼岸后,自認為是住在岸上的人。』就像這樣,我將再為你們講述七種水來比喻人。仔細聽,仔細聽!好好思考。』當時,眾比丘接受教誨,認真聽講。 佛陀說:『什麼是七種情況呢?有的人總是沉在水底;有的人從水裡出來又沉下去;有的人從水裡出來停留在水面;有的人從水裡出來停留在水面,停留後觀察;有的人從水裡出來停留在水面,停留後觀察,觀察后渡過;有的人從水裡出來停留在水面,停留後觀察,觀察后渡過,渡過到達彼岸;有的人從水裡出來停留在水面,停留後觀察,觀察后渡過,渡過到達彼岸,到達彼岸后,自認為是住在岸上的修行人。』這七種水比喻人,我只是簡略地說說。就像上面所說的,就像上面所設定的。你們知道其中的含義嗎?有什麼區別?有什麼因緣呢?』 當時,眾比丘對世尊說:『世尊是佛法的根本,世尊是佛法的主宰,佛法來源於世尊,希望您能為我們講解,我們聽了之後,就能廣泛地瞭解其中的含義。』 佛陀便告訴他們說:『你們仔細聽!好好思考。我將為你們分別解釋其中的含義。』當時,眾比丘接受教誨,認真聽講。 佛陀說:『什麼叫做有人總是沉在水底呢?就是說有的人被不善的法所覆蓋,被污染所染污,承受惡法的報應,造作生死的根本,這就是所謂有人總是沉在水底。』
The Buddha said, 'What are the seven? There is a person who is always lying in the water; there is another who comes out of the water and then sinks back down; there is another who comes out of the water and stays; there is another who comes out of the water and stays, and after staying, observes; there is another who comes out of the water and stays, and after staying, observes, and after observing, crosses over; there is another who comes out of the water and stays, and after staying, observes, and after observing, crosses over, and after crossing over, reaches the other shore; there is another who comes out of the water and stays, and after staying, observes, and after observing, crosses over, and after crossing over, reaches the other shore, and after reaching the other shore, considers themselves a person living on the shore. In this way, I will again tell you about the seven waters as a metaphor for people. Listen carefully, listen carefully! Think carefully.' At that time, the monks received the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said, 'What are the seven? There is a person who is always lying down; there is another who comes out and then sinks back down; there is another who comes out and stays; there is another who comes out and stays, and after staying, observes; there is another who comes out and stays, and after staying, observes, and after observing, crosses over; there is another who comes out and stays, and after staying, observes, and after observing, crosses over, and after crossing over, reaches the other shore; there is another who comes out and stays, and after staying, observes, and after observing, crosses over, and after crossing over, reaches the other shore, and after reaching the other shore, considers themselves a Brahmin living on the shore. These seven waters are a metaphor for people, I have spoken briefly. As mentioned above, as established above. Do you know the meaning? What is the difference? What is the cause?' At that time, the monks said to the World Honored One, 'The World Honored One is the root of the Dharma, the World Honored One is the master of the Dharma, the Dharma comes from the World Honored One, we hope you will explain it, and after we hear it, we will be able to understand the meaning widely.' The Buddha then told them, 'Listen carefully! Think carefully. I will explain the meaning to you.' At that time, the monks received the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said, 'What is meant by someone always lying down? It means that someone is covered by unwholesome dharmas, defiled by defilements, receives the retribution of evil dharmas, and creates the root of birth and death. This is what is meant by someone always lying down.'
。猶人沒溺,臥於水中,我說彼人亦復如是,是謂初水喻人,世間諦如有也。
「云何有人出已還沒?謂人既出,得信善法,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,修習善法,彼於後時失信不固,失持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧而不堅固,是謂有人出已還沒。猶人溺水,既出還沒,我說彼人亦復如是,是謂第二水喻人,世間諦如有也。
「云何有人出已而住?謂人既出,得信善法,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,修習善法,彼於後時信固不失,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,堅固不失,是謂有人出已而住,猶人溺水,出已而住,我說彼人亦復如是,是謂第三水喻人,世間諦如有也。
「云何有人出已而住,住已而觀?謂人既出,得信善法,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,修習善法,彼於後時信固不失,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,堅固不失,住善法中,知苦如真,知苦習、知苦滅、知苦滅道如真。彼如是知、如是見,三結便盡,謂身見、戒取、疑,三結已盡,得須陀洹,不墮惡法,定趣正覺,極受七有,天上、人間七往來已,便得苦際,是謂有人出已而住,住已而觀。猶人溺水,出已而住,住已而觀,我說彼人亦復如是,是謂第四水喻人,世間諦如有也
『就像有人溺水,躺在水中,我說這個人也是這樣,這叫做最初的水比喻人,世間的真理就是這樣存在的。』 『什麼叫做有人出來后又沉下去呢?是指這個人出來后,獲得了對善法的信仰,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,修習善法,但他後來失去了堅定的信仰,失去了持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,變得不堅定,這叫做有人出來后又沉下去。就像有人溺水,出來后又沉下去,我說這個人也是這樣,這叫做第二種水比喻人,世間的真理就是這樣存在的。』 『什麼叫做有人出來后就停住了呢?是指這個人出來后,獲得了對善法的信仰,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,修習善法,他後來信仰堅定不失,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,堅定不失,這叫做有人出來后就停住了。就像有人溺水,出來后就停住了,我說這個人也是這樣,這叫做第三種水比喻人,世間的真理就是這樣存在的。』 『什麼叫做有人出來后停住,停住后又觀察呢?是指這個人出來后,獲得了對善法的信仰,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,修習善法,他後來信仰堅定不失,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,堅定不失,安住在善法中,如實地知曉苦,如實地知曉苦的生起、苦的滅亡、以及通向苦滅的道路。他這樣知曉、這樣看見,三種束縛就斷盡了,即身見、戒禁取見、懷疑,這三種束縛斷盡后,就證得了須陀洹果,不再墮入惡道,必定走向正覺,最多經歷七次生死,在天上和人間往返七次後,就能夠達到苦的盡頭,這叫做有人出來后停住,停住后又觀察。就像有人溺水,出來后停住,停住后又觀察,我說這個人也是這樣,這叫做第四種水比喻人,世間的真理就是這樣存在的。』
'It's like a person drowning, lying in the water. I say that person is also like this. This is called the first water analogy for a person, and the truth of the world is like this.' 'What is it called when someone comes out and then sinks back? It refers to a person who, having come out, gains faith in good teachings, upholds precepts, practices giving, learns widely, and gains wisdom, cultivating good teachings. But later, they lose their firm faith, lose their upholding of precepts, giving, learning, and wisdom, becoming unsteady. This is called someone who comes out and then sinks back. Just like a person drowning, coming out and then sinking back, I say that person is also like this. This is called the second water analogy for a person, and the truth of the world is like this.' 'What is it called when someone comes out and then stays? It refers to a person who, having come out, gains faith in good teachings, upholds precepts, practices giving, learns widely, and gains wisdom, cultivating good teachings. Later, their faith remains firm and does not falter, their upholding of precepts, giving, learning, and wisdom remains firm and does not falter. This is called someone who comes out and then stays. Just like a person drowning, coming out and then staying, I say that person is also like this. This is called the third water analogy for a person, and the truth of the world is like this.' 'What is it called when someone comes out and stays, and having stayed, observes? It refers to a person who, having come out, gains faith in good teachings, upholds precepts, practices giving, learns widely, and gains wisdom, cultivating good teachings. Later, their faith remains firm and does not falter, their upholding of precepts, giving, learning, and wisdom remains firm and does not falter. They abide in good teachings, truly knowing suffering, truly knowing the arising of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path leading to the cessation of suffering. Knowing and seeing in this way, the three fetters are broken, namely self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, and doubt. Having broken these three fetters, they attain the state of Sotapanna, no longer falling into evil realms, and are destined for enlightenment. At most, they will experience seven more lives, going back and forth between heaven and the human realm seven times, and then they will reach the end of suffering. This is called someone who comes out and stays, and having stayed, observes. Just like a person drowning, coming out and staying, and having stayed, observes, I say that person is also like this. This is called the fourth water analogy for a person, and the truth of the world is like this.'
「云何有人出已而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡?謂人既出,得信善法,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,修習善法。彼於後時信固不失,持戒,佈施、多聞、智慧,堅固不失,住善法中,知苦如真,知苦習、知苦滅、知苦滅道如真,如是知、如是見,三結便盡,謂身見、戒取、疑,三結已盡,淫、怒、癡薄,得一往來天上、人間,一往來已,便得苦際,是謂有人出已而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡。猶人溺水,出已而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡,我說彼人亦復如是,是謂第五水喻人,世間諦如有也。
「云何有人出已而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡,渡已至彼岸?謂人既出,得信善法,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,修習善法,彼於後時信固不失,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,堅固不失,住善法中,知苦如真,知苦習、知苦滅、知苦滅道如真,如是知、如是見,五下分結盡,謂貪慾、瞋恚、身見、戒取、疑,五下分結盡已,生於彼間,便般涅槃,得不退法,不還此世,是謂有人出已而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡,渡已至彼岸。猶人溺水,出已而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡,渡已至彼岸,我說彼人亦復如是,是謂第六水喻人,世間諦如有也
『什麼樣的人是出離后安住,安住后觀察,觀察后度脫呢?』是指一個人出離后,獲得對善法的信心,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,修習善法。他在之後的時間裡,信心堅定不失,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,堅固不失,安住在善法中,如實知曉苦,如實知曉苦的生起、苦的滅盡、以及導致苦滅盡的道路。像這樣知曉、像這樣觀察,三種結縛便會斷盡,即身見、戒取、疑。三種結縛斷盡后,淫慾、嗔怒、愚癡變得淡薄,能夠一次往返于天上人間,一次往返后,便能達到苦的盡頭。這就是所謂的人出離后安住,安住后觀察,觀察后度脫。就像一個人溺水,出水后安住,安住后觀察,觀察后度脫一樣,我說這個人也是如此。這就是第五種以水為比喻的人,世間真理就是如此。 『什麼樣的人是出離后安住,安住后觀察,觀察后度脫,度脫後到達彼岸呢?』是指一個人出離后,獲得對善法的信心,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,修習善法。他在之後的時間裡,信心堅定不失,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,堅固不失,安住在善法中,如實知曉苦,如實知曉苦的生起、苦的滅盡、以及導致苦滅盡的道路。像這樣知曉、像這樣觀察,五種下分結縛便會斷盡,即貪慾、嗔恚、身見、戒取、疑。五種下分結縛斷盡后,便會往生到彼處,然後入般涅槃,獲得不退轉的境界,不再返回這個世間。這就是所謂的人出離后安住,安住后觀察,觀察后度脫,度脫後到達彼岸。就像一個人溺水,出水后安住,安住后觀察,觀察后度脫,度脫後到達彼岸一樣,我說這個人也是如此。這就是第六種以水為比喻的人,世間真理就是如此。
'What kind of person is it who, having emerged, abides; having abided, observes; and having observed, crosses over?' It refers to a person who, having emerged, gains faith in good teachings, practices morality, generosity, learning, and wisdom, and cultivates good practices. Later, their faith remains firm, their morality, generosity, learning, and wisdom remain steadfast. They abide in good teachings, truly knowing suffering, truly knowing the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path leading to the cessation of suffering. Knowing and seeing in this way, the three fetters are eradicated: self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, and doubt. With these three fetters eradicated, lust, anger, and delusion become weakened. They are able to return once to the heavens and the human realm, and after that one return, they reach the end of suffering. This is what is meant by a person who, having emerged, abides; having abided, observes; and having observed, crosses over. Just as a person drowning in water, having emerged, abides; having abided, observes; and having observed, crosses over, I say that person is also like this. This is the fifth person likened to water, and such is the truth of the world. 'What kind of person is it who, having emerged, abides; having abided, observes; having observed, crosses over; and having crossed over, reaches the other shore?' It refers to a person who, having emerged, gains faith in good teachings, practices morality, generosity, learning, and wisdom, and cultivates good practices. Later, their faith remains firm, their morality, generosity, learning, and wisdom remain steadfast. They abide in good teachings, truly knowing suffering, truly knowing the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path leading to the cessation of suffering. Knowing and seeing in this way, the five lower fetters are eradicated: sensual desire, ill-will, self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, and doubt. With these five lower fetters eradicated, they are born in that realm, then attain parinirvana, achieving a state of non-regression, and do not return to this world. This is what is meant by a person who, having emerged, abides; having abided, observes; having observed, crosses over; and having crossed over, reaches the other shore. Just as a person drowning in water, having emerged, abides; having abided, observes; having observed, crosses over; and having crossed over, reaches the other shore, I say that person is also like this. This is the sixth person likened to water, and such is the truth of the world.'
「云何有人出已而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡,渡已至彼岸,至彼岸已謂住岸梵志?謂人既出,得信善法,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,修習善法,彼於後時信固不失,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,堅固不失,住善法中,知苦如真,知苦習、知苦滅、知苦滅道如真,如是知、如是見,欲漏心解脫,有漏、無明漏心解脫,解脫已,便知解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真,是謂有人出已而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡,渡已至彼岸,至彼岸已,謂住岸梵志。猶人溺水,出已而住,住已而觀,觀已而渡,渡已至彼岸,至彼岸已,謂住岸人。我說彼人亦復如是,是謂第七水喻人,世間諦如有也。我向所言,當爲汝說七水人者,因此故說。」
水喻經第四竟(千三百八十八字)
(五)中阿含七法品木積喻經第五(初一日誦)
一時,佛游拘薩羅,在人間,與大比丘眾翼從而行。爾時,世尊則于中路,忽見一處有大木積,洞燃俱熾,世尊見已,便下道側,更就余樹敷尼師檀,結加趺坐。
世尊坐已,告諸比丘:「汝等見彼有大木積洞燃俱熾耶?」
時,諸比丘答曰:「見也
『如何有人出離后安住,安住后觀察,觀察后渡過,渡過到達彼岸,到達彼岸后被稱為安住于岸邊的婆羅門?』意思是說,有人出離后,獲得對善法的信心,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,修習善法,他在之後的時間裡,信心堅定不失,持戒、佈施、多聞、智慧,堅固不失,安住于善法之中,如實知曉苦,如實知曉苦的生起,如實知曉苦的滅盡,如實知曉滅苦之道,如此知曉、如此看見,欲漏的心解脫,有漏、無明漏的心解脫,解脫后,便知曉解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不再受後有,如實知曉,這就是所謂有人出離后安住,安住后觀察,觀察后渡過,渡過到達彼岸,到達彼岸后,被稱為安住于岸邊的婆羅門。就像有人溺水,出離后安住,安住后觀察,觀察后渡過,渡過到達彼岸,到達彼岸后,被稱為安住于岸邊的人。我說那個人也是如此,這就是第七個水喻之人,世間真理就是如此。我之前所說的,要為你們講述七種水喻之人,就是因為這個原因而說的。 佛陀如此說道。那些比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《水喻經》第四結束(一千三百八十八字) (五)《中阿含經·七法品·木積喻經》第五(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在拘薩羅游化,在人間行走,與眾多大比丘隨行。當時,世尊在途中,忽然看見一處有巨大的木柴堆,正在熊熊燃燒,世尊看見后,便下到路旁,到另一棵樹下鋪上尼師檀,結跏趺坐。 世尊坐下後,告訴眾比丘:『你們看見那巨大的木柴堆正在熊熊燃燒嗎?』 當時,眾比丘回答說:『看見了。』
'How can someone who has gone forth dwell, having dwelt observe, having observed cross over, having crossed over reach the other shore, and having reached the other shore be called a Brahmin dwelling on the shore?' It means that someone who has gone forth, gains faith in good teachings, upholds precepts, gives alms, is learned, has wisdom, cultivates good teachings, and in later times, their faith remains firm, their upholding of precepts, giving of alms, learning, and wisdom remain steadfast, they dwell in good teachings, truly know suffering, truly know the arising of suffering, truly know the cessation of suffering, truly know the path to the cessation of suffering, knowing and seeing thus, the mind is liberated from the defilement of desire, the mind is liberated from the defilements of existence and ignorance, having been liberated, they know they are liberated, birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what needed to be done is done, there is no more future existence, they know truly, this is what is meant by someone who has gone forth dwells, having dwelt observes, having observed crosses over, having crossed over reaches the other shore, and having reached the other shore is called a Brahmin dwelling on the shore. Just like someone drowning, having come out dwells, having dwelt observes, having observed crosses over, having crossed over reaches the other shore, and having reached the other shore is called a person dwelling on the shore. I say that person is also like this, this is the seventh person in the water analogy, the truth of the world is like this. What I said before, that I would tell you about the seven people in the water analogy, is because of this reason.' The Buddha spoke thus. Those monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The fourth Water Analogy Sutra ends (1388 characters) (5) The Fifth Wood Pile Analogy Sutra of the Seven Dharma Chapter of the Middle Length Discourses (Recited on the first day) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Kosala, walking among people, with a large assembly of monks following him. At that time, the World Honored One, on the road, suddenly saw a place with a large pile of wood, burning fiercely. Having seen it, the World Honored One went down to the side of the road, went to another tree, spread out a sitting cloth, and sat cross-legged. Having sat down, the World Honored One said to the monks, 'Do you see that large pile of wood burning fiercely?' At that time, the monks replied, 'We see it.'
。世尊!」
世尊復告諸比丘曰:「于汝意云何?謂大木積洞燃俱熾,若抱、若坐、若臥,謂剎利女,梵志、居士、工師女,年在盛時,沐浴香薰,著明凈衣,華鬘、瓔珞嚴飾其身,若抱、若坐、若臥,何者為樂?」
時,諸比丘白曰:「世尊!謂大木積洞燃俱熾,若抱、若坐、若臥,甚苦。世尊!謂剎利女,梵志、居士、工師女,年在盛時,沐浴香薰,著明凈衣,華鬘、瓔珞嚴飾其身,若抱、若坐、若臥,甚樂。世尊!」
世尊告曰:「我為汝說,不令汝等學沙門失沙門道。汝欲成無上梵行者,寧抱木積洞燃俱熾,若坐、若臥,彼雖因此受苦或死,然不以是身壞命終,趣至惡處,生地獄中;若愚癡人犯戒不精進,生惡不善法,非梵行稱梵行,非沙門稱沙門;若抱剎利女,梵志、居士、工師女,年在盛時,沐浴香薰,著明凈衣,華鬘、瓔珞嚴飾其身,若坐、若臥者,彼愚癡人因是長夜不善不義,受惡法報,身壞命終,趣至惡處,生地獄中。是故汝等當觀自義、觀彼義、觀兩義,當作是念:『我出家學,不虛不空,有果有報,有極安樂,生諸善處而得長壽,受人信施衣被、飲食、床褥、湯藥,令諸施主得大福祐,得大果報,得大光明者。』當作是學
「世尊!」 世尊又告訴眾比丘說:「你們認為如何?如果抱著、坐著或躺在一堆燃燒熾熱的木柴上,和抱著、坐著或躺在一位正值盛年、沐浴薰香、穿著乾淨衣服、佩戴花環瓔珞裝飾的剎帝利女子、婆羅門女子、居士女子或工匠女子身上,哪一個更快樂呢?」 當時,眾比丘回答說:「世尊!抱著、坐著或躺在一堆燃燒熾熱的木柴上,非常痛苦。世尊!抱著、坐著或躺在一位正值盛年、沐浴薰香、穿著乾淨衣服、佩戴花環瓔珞裝飾的剎帝利女子、婆羅門女子、居士女子或工匠女子身上,非常快樂。世尊!」 世尊告訴他們說:「我告訴你們這些,不是要讓你們學習沙門而失去沙門之道。你們如果想要成就無上的梵行,寧可抱著燃燒熾熱的木柴,或者坐在、躺在上面,即使因此受苦或死亡,也不會因為身體壞滅而墮入惡道,生於地獄之中;如果愚癡的人犯戒而不精進,產生邪惡不善的法,不是梵行卻自稱梵行,不是沙門卻自稱沙門;如果抱著正值盛年、沐浴薰香、穿著乾淨衣服、佩戴花環瓔珞裝飾的剎帝利女子、婆羅門女子、居士女子或工匠女子,或者坐在、躺在她們身上,那麼這個愚癡的人就會因此長久處於不善不義之中,遭受惡法的報應,身體壞滅后墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。所以你們應當觀察自己的利益、觀察他人的利益、觀察雙方的利益,應當這樣想:『我出家修行,不是虛妄空洞的,是有果報的,有極大的安樂,能夠生於善處而得長壽,接受人們的信施,如衣服、飲食、床褥、湯藥,使佈施的人得到大的福佑,得到大的果報,得到大的光明。』應當這樣學習。」
'Venerable One!' The World-Honored One then said to the monks, 'What do you think? If one were to embrace, sit on, or lie upon a pile of burning, blazing wood, and if one were to embrace, sit on, or lie upon a Kshatriya woman, a Brahmin woman, a householder's daughter, or a craftsman's daughter, in her prime, bathed and perfumed, wearing clean clothes, adorned with garlands and necklaces, which would be more pleasurable?' Then the monks replied, 'Venerable One, to embrace, sit on, or lie upon a pile of burning, blazing wood is very painful. Venerable One, to embrace, sit on, or lie upon a Kshatriya woman, a Brahmin woman, a householder's daughter, or a craftsman's daughter, in her prime, bathed and perfumed, wearing clean clothes, adorned with garlands and necklaces, is very pleasurable, Venerable One!' The World-Honored One said, 'I tell you this, not to lead you to learn the ways of a renunciate and lose the path of a renunciate. If you wish to achieve the supreme holy life, it is better to embrace a pile of burning, blazing wood, or to sit or lie upon it. Though one may suffer or die because of this, one will not, because of the destruction of the body, go to an evil place and be born in hell. If a foolish person breaks the precepts and is not diligent, generating evil and unwholesome dharmas, claiming to be practicing the holy life when they are not, claiming to be a renunciate when they are not; if one embraces a Kshatriya woman, a Brahmin woman, a householder's daughter, or a craftsman's daughter, in her prime, bathed and perfumed, wearing clean clothes, adorned with garlands and necklaces, or sits or lies upon them, then that foolish person will, because of this, for a long time be in unwholesome and unrighteous states, receive the retribution of evil dharmas, and after the destruction of the body, go to an evil place and be born in hell. Therefore, you should observe your own benefit, observe the benefit of others, and observe the benefit of both. You should think thus: 'I have left home to practice, not in vain or emptiness, but with fruit and retribution, with supreme peace and happiness, to be born in good places and attain long life, to receive the offerings of faith from people, such as clothing, food, bedding, and medicine, so that the givers may obtain great blessings, great rewards, and great light.' You should learn in this way.'

世尊復告諸比丘曰:「于意云何?若有力士以緊索毛繩絞勒其𨄔斷皮,斷皮已斷肉,斷肉已斷筋,斷筋已斷骨,斷骨已至髓而住,若從剎利、梵志、居士、工師受其信施,按摩身體、支節、手足,何者為樂?」
時,諸比丘白曰:「世尊!若有力士以緊索毛繩絞勒其𨄔斷皮,斷皮已斷肉,斷肉已斷筋,斷筋已斷骨,斷骨已至髓而住,甚苦。世尊!若從剎利、梵志、居士、工師受其信施,按摩身體、支節、手足,甚樂。世尊!」
世尊告曰:「我為汝說,不令汝等學沙門失沙門道。汝欲成無上梵行者,寧令力士以緊索毛繩絞勒其𨄔斷皮,斷皮已斷肉,斷肉已斷筋,斷筋已斷骨,斷骨已至髓而住,彼雖因此受苦或死,然不以是身壞命終,趣至惡處,生地獄中;若愚癡人犯戒不精進,生惡不善法,非梵行稱梵行,非沙門稱沙門,從剎利、梵志、居士、工師受其信施,按摩身體、支節、手足,彼愚癡人因是長夜不善不義,受惡法報,身壞命終,趣至惡處,生地獄中。是故汝等當觀自義、觀彼義、觀兩義,當作是念:『我出家學,不虛不空,有果有報,有極安樂,生諸善處而得長壽,受人信施衣被、飲食、床褥、湯藥,令諸施主得大福祐,得大果報,得大光明者。』當作是學
世尊又告訴眾比丘說:『你們認為如何?如果一個力士用緊緊的毛繩絞勒一個人的身體,先斷其面板,斷皮后斷肉,斷肉后斷筋,斷筋后斷骨,斷骨后直至骨髓而停止。如果這個人從剎帝利、婆羅門、居士、工匠那裡接受他們的佈施,他的身體、肢體、手足,哪一樣會感到快樂?』 當時,眾比丘回答說:『世尊!如果一個力士用緊緊的毛繩絞勒一個人的身體,先斷其面板,斷皮后斷肉,斷肉后斷筋,斷筋后斷骨,斷骨后直至骨髓而停止,那是非常痛苦的。世尊!如果這個人從剎帝利、婆羅門、居士、工匠那裡接受他們的佈施,他的身體、肢體、手足,會感到非常快樂。世尊!』 世尊告訴他們說:『我告訴你們,不是要讓你們學習沙門而失去沙門之道。你們想要成就無上梵行的人,寧可讓力士用緊緊的毛繩絞勒你們的身體,先斷其面板,斷皮后斷肉,斷肉后斷筋,斷筋后斷骨,斷骨后直至骨髓而停止,他雖然因此受苦或死亡,但不會因此身壞命終,墮入惡道,生於地獄之中;如果愚癡的人犯戒而不精進,生出惡不善法,不是梵行卻自稱梵行,不是沙門卻自稱沙門,從剎帝利、婆羅門、居士、工匠那裡接受他們的佈施,他的身體、肢體、手足,這個愚癡的人因此長夜不善不義,遭受惡法報應,身壞命終,墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。所以你們應當觀察自己的利益、觀察他人的利益、觀察雙方的利益,應當這樣想:『我出家學習,不是虛妄空洞的,是有果報的,有極大的安樂,能生於善處而得長壽,接受人們的佈施,如衣服、飲食、床鋪、湯藥,使佈施的人得到大福佑,得到大果報,得到大光明。』應當這樣學習。』
The World Honored One further told the monks: 'What do you think? If a strong man were to tightly bind a person with a rope made of hair, first breaking the skin, then the flesh, then the tendons, then the bones, and finally reaching the marrow, and if this person were to receive offerings from Kshatriyas, Brahmins, householders, and artisans, which would bring him pleasure, his body, limbs, hands, or feet?' At that time, the monks replied: 'World Honored One! If a strong man were to tightly bind a person with a rope made of hair, first breaking the skin, then the flesh, then the tendons, then the bones, and finally reaching the marrow, it would be extremely painful. World Honored One! If this person were to receive offerings from Kshatriyas, Brahmins, householders, and artisans, his body, limbs, hands, and feet would be very happy. World Honored One!' The World Honored One told them: 'I am telling you this, not to make you learn the ways of a renunciate and lose the path of a renunciate. If you wish to achieve the supreme Brahma-faring, it would be better to have a strong man tightly bind your body with a rope made of hair, first breaking the skin, then the flesh, then the tendons, then the bones, and finally reaching the marrow. Although he may suffer or die because of this, he will not, because of this, break his body and end his life, and go to an evil place, to be born in hell. If a foolish person breaks the precepts and is not diligent, generating evil and unwholesome dharmas, claiming to be a Brahma-farer when he is not, claiming to be a renunciate when he is not, and receives offerings from Kshatriyas, Brahmins, householders, and artisans, his body, limbs, hands, and feet, this foolish person will, because of this, for a long night be unwholesome and unrighteous, receive the retribution of evil dharmas, break his body and end his life, and go to an evil place, to be born in hell. Therefore, you should observe your own benefit, observe the benefit of others, and observe the benefit of both, and think thus: 『I have left home to learn, it is not in vain or empty, it has results and retribution, it has supreme peace and happiness, it can lead to birth in good places and to long life, and to receive the offerings of people, such as clothing, food, bedding, and medicine, so that the givers may receive great blessings, great rewards, and great light.』 You should learn in this way.'
世尊復告諸比丘曰:「于意云何?若有力士以瑩磨利刀截斷其髀,若從剎利、梵志、居士、工師受信施、禮拜,恭敬將迎,何者為樂?」
時,諸比丘白曰:「世尊!若有力士以瑩磨利刀截斷其髀,甚苦。世尊!若從剎利、梵志、居士、工師受信施、禮拜,恭敬將迎,甚樂。世尊!」
世尊告曰:「我為汝說,不令汝等學沙門失沙門道。汝欲成無上梵行者,寧令力士以瑩磨利刀截斷其髀,彼雖因此受苦或死,然不以是身壞命終,趣至惡處,生地獄中;若愚癡人犯戒不精進,生惡不善法,非梵行稱梵行,非沙門稱沙門,從剎利、梵志、居士、工師受信施、禮拜,恭敬將迎,彼愚癡人因是長夜不善不義,受惡法報,身壞命終,趣至惡處,生地獄中。是故汝等當觀自義、觀彼義、觀兩義,當作是念:我出家學,不虛不空,有果有報,有極安樂,生諸善處而得長壽,受人信施衣被、飲食床褥、湯藥,令諸施主得大福祐,得大果報,得大光明者。當作是學。」
世尊復告諸比丘曰:「于意云何?若有力士以鐵銅鍱洞燃俱熾,纏絡其身,若從剎利、梵志、居士、工師受信施衣服,何者為樂?」
時,諸比丘白曰:「世尊!若有力士以鐵銅鍱洞燃俱熾,纏絡其身,甚苦
世尊又告訴眾比丘說:『你們認為如何?如果一個力士用磨得鋒利的刀砍斷他的大腿,和從剎帝利、婆羅門、居士、工匠那裡接受佈施、禮拜,恭敬迎接,哪一種更快樂?』 當時,眾比丘回答說:『世尊!如果一個力士用磨得鋒利的刀砍斷他的大腿,那是非常痛苦的。世尊!如果從剎帝利、婆羅門、居士、工匠那裡接受佈施、禮拜,恭敬迎接,那是非常快樂的。世尊!』 世尊告訴他們說:『我為你們說這些,不是要讓你們這些學沙門的人失去沙門之道。你們想要成就無上梵行的人,寧願讓力士用磨得鋒利的刀砍斷他的大腿,他雖然因此受苦或死亡,但不會因此身壞命終,墮入惡道,生於地獄之中;如果愚癡的人犯戒不精進,生出惡不善法,不是梵行卻自稱梵行,不是沙門卻自稱沙門,從剎帝利、婆羅門、居士、工匠那裡接受佈施、禮拜,恭敬迎接,這個愚癡的人因此長夜不善不義,遭受惡法報應,身壞命終,墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。所以你們應當觀察自己的利益、觀察他人的利益、觀察兩者的利益,應當這樣想:我出家學習,不是虛妄空洞的,是有果報的,有極大的安樂,能生於善處而得長壽,接受人們的佈施衣物、飲食床鋪、湯藥,使佈施的人得到大的福佑,得到大的果報,得到大的光明。應當這樣學習。』 世尊又告訴眾比丘說:『你們認為如何?如果一個力士用燒得通紅熾熱的鐵銅片纏繞他的身體,和從剎帝利、婆羅門、居士、工匠那裡接受佈施衣服,哪一種更快樂?』 當時,眾比丘回答說:『世尊!如果一個力士用燒得通紅熾熱的鐵銅片纏繞他的身體,那是非常痛苦的。
The World-Honored One further told the monks, 'What do you think? If a strong man were to cut off his thigh with a sharpened, polished knife, and if he were to receive offerings, worship, and respectful welcomes from Kshatriyas, Brahmins, householders, and artisans, which would be more pleasurable?' At that time, the monks replied, 'World-Honored One! If a strong man were to cut off his thigh with a sharpened, polished knife, that would be very painful. World-Honored One! If he were to receive offerings, worship, and respectful welcomes from Kshatriyas, Brahmins, householders, and artisans, that would be very pleasurable, World-Honored One!' The World-Honored One told them, 'I am telling you this, not to cause you, who are learning to be ascetics, to lose the way of an ascetic. If you wish to achieve the supreme Brahma-conduct, you would rather have a strong man cut off your thigh with a sharpened, polished knife. Although he might suffer or die because of this, he would not, because of this, have his body destroyed and his life ended, and go to an evil place, to be born in hell. If a foolish person breaks the precepts and is not diligent, and gives rise to evil and unwholesome dharmas, and is not a Brahma-conduct yet calls himself a Brahma-conduct, and is not an ascetic yet calls himself an ascetic, and receives offerings, worship, and respectful welcomes from Kshatriyas, Brahmins, householders, and artisans, that foolish person will, because of this, for a long night be unwholesome and unrighteous, and receive the retribution of evil dharmas, and have his body destroyed and his life ended, and go to an evil place, to be born in hell.

You should learn in this way.' The World-Honored One further told the monks, 'What do you think? If a strong man were to wrap his body with iron and copper plates, burning and blazing, and if he were to receive offerings of clothing from Kshatriyas, Brahmins, householders, and artisans, which would be more pleasurable?' At that time, the monks replied, 'World-Honored One! If a strong man were to wrap his body with iron and copper plates, burning and blazing, that would be very painful.'

English version: 『Venerable Sir, if one receives offerings of countless delicious foods from Kshatriyas, Brahmins, householders, and artisans, it is very pleasurable, Venerable Sir!』 The Venerable One said, 『I tell you this, not to cause you, as ascetics, to lose the path of asceticism. If you wish to achieve the unsurpassed holy life, it would be better to have a strong man use hot iron tongs to pry open your mouth, and then place a glowing, burning iron ball into your mouth. That hot iron ball would burn your lips, then your tongue, then your gums, then your throat, then your heart, then your stomach and intestines, and then pass downwards. Although you might suffer and even die from this, you would not, by this destruction of your body and life, go to an evil place and be born in hell. But if a foolish person breaks the precepts and is not diligent, generating evil and unwholesome states, claiming to be practicing the holy life when they are not, claiming to be an ascetic when they are not, and receiving offerings of countless delicious foods from Kshatriyas, Brahmins, householders, and artisans, that foolish person will, because of this, for a long time be unwholesome and unrighteous, receive the retribution of evil actions, and upon the destruction of their body and life, go to an evil place and be born in hell. Therefore, you should consider your own benefit, the benefit of others, and the benefit of both. You should think, 『I have left home to practice, not in vain or emptiness, but with fruit and reward, with supreme happiness, to be born in good places and attain long life, receiving the offerings of clothing, food, bedding, and medicine from people, so that those donors may receive great blessings, great rewards, and great light.』 You should train in this way.』 The Venerable One further said to the monks, 『What do you think? If a strong man were to force a person to sit or lie on a burning hot iron bed, and if one were to receive offerings of beds and bedding from Kshatriyas, Brahmins, householders, and artisans, which would be more pleasurable?』 Then the monks replied, 『Venerable Sir, if a strong man were to force a person to sit or lie on a burning hot iron bed, that would be very painful.

世尊復告諸比丘曰:「于意云何?若有力士以大鐵銅釜洞燃俱熾,撮舉人已,倒著釜中,若從剎利、梵志、居士、工師受信施房舍,泥治堊灑,窗戶牢密,爐火熅暖,何者為樂?」
時,諸比丘白曰:「世尊!若有力士以大鐵銅釜洞燃俱熾,撮舉人已,倒著釜中,甚苦。世尊!若從剎利、梵志、居士、工師受信施房舍,泥治堊灑,窗戶牢密,爐火熅暖,甚樂。世尊!」
世尊告曰:「我為汝說,不令汝等學沙門失沙門道
現代漢語譯本:『世尊!』 世尊告訴他們說:『我告訴你們,不要讓你們這些學沙門的人失去沙門之道。如果你們想成就無上的梵行,寧可讓力士用燒得通紅的鐵床或銅床,強迫人坐臥在上面,那人雖然因此受苦甚至死亡,但不會因此身壞命終,墮入惡道,生於地獄之中;如果愚癡的人犯戒不精進,產生惡的不善之法,不是梵行卻自稱梵行,不是沙門卻自稱沙門,從剎帝利、婆羅門、居士、工匠那裡接受他們的供養,如床、榻、臥具等,這個愚癡的人因此長夜不善不義,遭受惡報,身壞命終,墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。所以你們應當觀察自己的利益、觀察他人的利益、觀察雙方的利益,應當這樣想:『我出家修行,不是虛妄空洞的,是有果報的,有極大的安樂,能生於善處而得長壽,接受人們的供養,如衣服、飲食、床鋪、醫藥,使供養者得到大福佑,得到大果報,得到大光明。』應當這樣學習。』 世尊又告訴眾比丘說:『你們認為如何?如果有力士用燒得通紅的大鐵鍋或銅鍋,把人抓起來倒進鍋里,和從剎帝利、婆羅門、居士、工匠那裡接受供養的房舍,經過泥土塗抹、白堊粉刷,窗戶牢固嚴密,爐火溫暖,哪一個更快樂?』 當時,眾比丘回答說:『世尊!如果有力士用燒得通紅的大鐵鍋或銅鍋,把人抓起來倒進鍋里,那是非常痛苦的。世尊!如果從剎帝利、婆羅門、居士、工匠那裡接受供養的房舍,經過泥土塗抹、白堊粉刷,窗戶牢固嚴密,爐火溫暖,那是非常快樂的。世尊!』 世尊告訴他們說:『我告訴你們,不要讓你們這些學沙門的人失去沙門之道。』
English version: 『Venerable Sir!』 The World-Honored One said: 『I tell you, I do not want you who are learning to be ascetics to lose the way of an ascetic. If you wish to achieve the supreme Brahma-faring, it would be better to have a strong man force you to sit or lie on a red-hot iron or copper bed, even if you suffer or die as a result, you would not, because of this, break your body and end your life, and go to an evil place, to be born in hell. If a foolish person breaks the precepts and is not diligent, generates evil and unwholesome dharmas, is not a Brahma-farer but claims to be one, is not an ascetic but claims to be one, and receives offerings such as beds, couches, and bedding from Kshatriyas, Brahmins, householders, and artisans, that foolish person will, because of this, for a long night be unwholesome and unrighteous, receive evil retribution, break their body and end their life, and go to an evil place, to be born in hell. Therefore, you should observe your own benefit, observe the benefit of others, and observe the benefit of both, and think thus: 『I have left home to practice, it is not in vain or empty, there is fruit and retribution, there is supreme peace and happiness, I can be born in good places and attain long life, and receive people』s offerings of clothing, food, bedding, and medicine, so that the donors may receive great blessings, great rewards, and great light.』 You should learn in this way.』 The World-Honored One again said to the monks: 『What do you think? If a strong man were to take a person and throw them into a large, red-hot iron or copper cauldron, and if one were to receive an offering of a house from Kshatriyas, Brahmins, householders, and artisans, plastered with mud and whitewashed, with secure and tight windows, and a warm fire, which would be more pleasant?』 At that time, the monks replied: 『Venerable Sir! If a strong man were to take a person and throw them into a large, red-hot iron or copper cauldron, that would be very painful. Venerable Sir! If one were to receive an offering of a house from Kshatriyas, Brahmins, householders, and artisans, plastered with mud and whitewashed, with secure and tight windows, and a warm fire, that would be very pleasant. Venerable Sir!』 The World-Honored One said: 『I tell you, I do not want you who are learning to be ascetics to lose the way of an ascetic.』
。汝欲成無上梵行者,寧令力士以大鐵銅釜洞燃俱熾,撮舉人已,倒著釜中,彼雖因此受苦或死,然不以是身壞命終,趣至惡處,生地獄中;若愚癡人犯戒不精進,生惡不善法,非梵行稱梵行,非沙門稱沙門,從剎利、梵志、居士、工師受信施房舍,泥治堊灑,窗戶牢密,爐火熅暖,彼愚癡人因是長夜不善不義,受惡法報,身壞命終,趣至惡處,生地獄中。是故汝等當觀自義、觀彼義、觀兩義,當作是念:『我出家學,不虛不空,有果有報,有極安樂,生諸善處而得長壽,受人信施衣被、飲食、床褥、湯藥,令諸施主得大福祐,得大果報,得大光明者。』當作是學。」
說此法時,六十比丘漏盡結解,六十比丘舍戒還家。所以者何?世尊教誡甚深、甚難,學道亦復甚深、甚難。

現代漢語譯本:『如果你想成就至高無上的清凈修行,寧可讓力士用燒得通紅的大鐵鍋,把人抓起來倒扣在鍋里,即使因此受苦或死去,也不會因為這樣身壞命終,墮入惡道,生於地獄;如果愚癡的人犯戒不精進,產生惡的不善之法,不是清凈修行卻自稱清凈修行,不是沙門卻自稱沙門,從剎帝利、婆羅門、居士、工匠那裡接受供養的房舍,用泥土修繕,粉刷潔白,窗戶牢固,爐火溫暖,這些愚癡的人因此長夜不善不義,遭受惡報,身壞命終,墮入惡道,生於地獄。所以你們應當觀察自己的利益、他人的利益、以及雙方的利益,應當這樣想:『我出家修行,不是虛妄空洞,是有果報的,有極大的安樂,能生於善處而得長壽,接受人們供養的衣服、飲食、床鋪、湯藥,使供養者得到大福佑,得到大果報,得到大光明。』應當這樣學習。』 當佛陀說此法時,六十位比丘漏盡煩惱,解脫束縛,六十位比丘捨棄戒律還俗。這是為什麼呢?因為世尊的教誨非常深奧、非常困難,修道也是非常深奧、非常困難。 《木積喻經》第五完(二千六百四十四字) 《中阿含經》卷第一(八千一百九字)(初一日誦) 大正藏第 01 冊 No. 0026 《中阿含經》 《中阿含經》卷第二 (六)七法品《善人往經》第六(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在舍衛國游化,住在勝林給孤獨園。
English version: 『If you wish to achieve the supreme pure conduct, it would be better to have a strong man take you, with a large iron or copper pot heated red-hot, and throw you upside down into it. Though you might suffer or die because of this, you would not, by this destruction of your body and life, go to an evil place and be born in hell. But if a foolish person breaks the precepts and is not diligent, generating evil and unwholesome states, claiming to be practicing pure conduct when they are not, claiming to be a renunciate when they are not, receiving offerings of dwellings from kshatriyas, brahmins, householders, and artisans, with mud plastering and white washing, with secure windows and warm hearths, that foolish person, because of this, will for a long time be unwholesome and unrighteous, receiving the retribution of evil, and upon the destruction of their body and life, will go to an evil place and be born in hell. Therefore, you should consider your own benefit, the benefit of others, and the benefit of both. You should think: 『My going forth to practice is not empty or vain, it has results and retribution, it has supreme happiness, it leads to birth in good places and to long life, and I receive offerings of clothing, food, bedding, and medicine, enabling the donors to gain great blessings, great rewards, and great light.』 You should train in this way.』 When the Buddha spoke this teaching, sixty monks were freed from defilements and released from bonds, and sixty monks abandoned their precepts and returned to lay life. Why is this? Because the World-Honored One』s teachings are very profound and very difficult, and the path of practice is also very profound and very difficult.

。爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我當爲汝說七善人所往至處及無餘涅槃。諦聽,諦聽!善思念之。」時,諸比丘受教而聽。
佛言:「云何為七?比丘行當如是。我者無我,亦無我所,當來無我,亦無我所,已有便斷,已斷得舍,有樂不染,合會不著。如是行者,無上息跡慧之所見,然未得證。比丘行如是,往至何所?譬如燒䴸,才燃便滅。當知比丘亦復如是,少慢未盡,五下分結已斷,得中般涅槃,是謂第一善人所往至處,世間諦如有。
「複次,比丘行當如是。我者無我,亦無我所,當來無我,亦無我所,已有便斷,已斷得舍,有樂不染,合會不著。行如是者,無上息跡慧之所見,然未得證。比丘行如是,往至何所?譬若如鐵洞燃俱熾,以椎打之,迸火飛空,上已即滅。當知比丘亦復如是,少慢未盡,五下分結已斷,得中般涅槃,是謂第二善人所往至處,世間諦如有。
「複次,比丘行當如是。我者無我,亦無我所,當來無我,亦無我所,已有便斷,已斷得舍,有樂不染,合會不著。行如是者,無上息跡慧之所見,然未得證。比丘行如是,往至何所?譬若如鐵洞燃俱熾,以椎打之。迸火飛空,從上來還,未至地滅
那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我將為你們講述七種善人所到達的境界以及無餘涅槃。仔細聽,仔細聽!好好思考。』當時,眾比丘接受教誨,認真聽講。 佛說:『哪七種呢?比丘應當這樣修行:認為「我」不是真實存在的,也沒有屬於「我」的東西;未來也沒有「我」,也沒有屬於「我」的東西;已經存在的(煩惱)要斷除,斷除后要捨棄;有快樂也不執著,聚合也不貪戀。這樣修行的人,能以無上的寂滅智慧觀察,但尚未證得。比丘這樣修行,會到達哪裡呢?譬如燃燒的火把,剛點燃就熄滅了。應當知道比丘也是這樣,少許的驕慢尚未斷盡,五下分結已經斷除,證得中般涅槃,這就是第一種善人所到達的境界,在世間真實存在。』 『其次,比丘應當這樣修行:認為「我」不是真實存在的,也沒有屬於「我」的東西;未來也沒有「我」,也沒有屬於「我」的東西;已經存在的(煩惱)要斷除,斷除后要捨棄;有快樂也不執著,聚合也不貪戀。這樣修行的人,能以無上的寂滅智慧觀察,但尚未證得。比丘這樣修行,會到達哪裡呢?譬如熾熱燃燒的鐵塊,用錘子敲打,迸出的火花飛向空中,升空后立即熄滅。應當知道比丘也是這樣,少許的驕慢尚未斷盡,五下分結已經斷除,證得中般涅槃,這就是第二種善人所到達的境界,在世間真實存在。』 『其次,比丘應當這樣修行:認為「我」不是真實存在的,也沒有屬於「我」的東西;未來也沒有「我」,也沒有屬於「我」的東西;已經存在的(煩惱)要斷除,斷除后要捨棄;有快樂也不執著,聚合也不貪戀。這樣修行的人,能以無上的寂滅智慧觀察,但尚未證得。比丘這樣修行,會到達哪裡呢?譬如熾熱燃燒的鐵塊,用錘子敲打,迸出的火花飛向空中,從空中返回,還未落地就熄滅了。
At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'I will explain to you the seven destinations of good people and the state of Nirvana without remainder. Listen carefully, listen carefully! Reflect well on it.' Then, the monks received the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said, 'What are the seven? A monk should practice like this: regarding 'I' as not real, nor having anything belonging to 'I'; in the future, there will be no 'I', nor anything belonging to 'I'; what already exists (afflictions) should be cut off, and after cutting off, should be relinquished; having pleasure, one is not attached, and in gatherings, one is not greedy. One who practices like this can observe with the supreme wisdom of cessation, but has not yet attained it. Where will a monk who practices like this go? It is like a burning torch, which is extinguished as soon as it is lit. You should know that a monk is also like this, with a little pride not yet exhausted, the five lower fetters already cut off, attaining intermediate Nirvana. This is the first destination of a good person, which truly exists in the world.' 'Furthermore, a monk should practice like this: regarding 'I' as not real, nor having anything belonging to 'I'; in the future, there will be no 'I', nor anything belonging to 'I'; what already exists (afflictions) should be cut off, and after cutting off, should be relinquished; having pleasure, one is not attached, and in gatherings, one is not greedy. One who practices like this can observe with the supreme wisdom of cessation, but has not yet attained it. Where will a monk who practices like this go? It is like a piece of iron burning intensely, when struck with a hammer, sparks fly into the air and are extinguished immediately after rising. You should know that a monk is also like this, with a little pride not yet exhausted, the five lower fetters already cut off, attaining intermediate Nirvana. This is the second destination of a good person, which truly exists in the world.' 'Furthermore, a monk should practice like this: regarding 'I' as not real, nor having anything belonging to 'I'; in the future, there will be no 'I', nor anything belonging to 'I'; what already exists (afflictions) should be cut off, and after cutting off, should be relinquished; having pleasure, one is not attached, and in gatherings, one is not greedy. One who practices like this can observe with the supreme wisdom of cessation, but has not yet attained it. Where will a monk who practices like this go? It is like a piece of iron burning intensely, when struck with a hammer, sparks fly into the air, return from the air, and are extinguished before reaching the ground.'
。當知比丘亦復如是,少慢未盡,五下分結已斷,得中般涅槃,是謂第三善人所往至處。世間諦如有。
「複次,比丘行當如是。我者無我,亦無我所,當來無我,亦無我所,已有便斷,已斷得舍,有樂不染,合會不著。行如是者,無上息跡慧之所見,然未得證。比丘行如是,往至何所?譬若如鐵洞然俱熾,以椎打之,迸火飛空,墮地而滅。當知比丘亦復如是,少慢未盡,五下分結已斷,得生般涅槃,是謂第四善人所往至處。世間諦如有。

現代漢語譯本:同樣地,當一位比丘也是這樣,少許的驕慢尚未完全消除,但已斷除了五下分結,他將證得中般涅槃,這就是第三種善人所到達的境界。世間的真理就是如此。 現代漢語譯本:再者,比丘應當這樣修行:『我』是無我的,也沒有『我所』;未來也是無我的,也沒有『我所』;已經存在的就應當斷除,斷除后就應當捨棄;對於快樂不執著,對於聚合不依戀。像這樣修行的人,是無上寂滅智慧所能見到的,但尚未證得。比丘像這樣修行,會到達哪裡呢?譬如一塊燒得通紅的鐵,用錘子敲打,迸出的火星飛向空中,落在地上就熄滅了。應當知道,比丘也是這樣,少許的驕慢尚未完全消除,但已斷除了五下分結,他將證得生般涅槃,這就是第四種善人所到達的境界。世間的真理就是如此。 現代漢語譯本:再者,比丘應當這樣修行:『我』是無我的,也沒有『我所』;未來也是無我的,也沒有『我所』;已經存在的就應當斷除,斷除后就應當捨棄;對於快樂不執著,對於聚合不依戀。像這樣修行的人,是無上寂滅智慧所能見到的,但尚未證得。比丘像這樣修行,會到達哪裡呢?譬如一塊燒得通紅的鐵,用錘子敲打,迸出的火星飛向空中,落在少許的薪草上,冒出煙或燃燒,燃燒后就熄滅了。應當知道,比丘也是這樣,少許的驕慢尚未完全消除,但已斷除了五下分結,他將證得行般涅槃,這就是第五種善人所到達的境界。世間的真理就是如此。 現代漢語譯本:再者,比丘應當這樣修行:『我』是無我的,也沒有『我所』;未來也是無我的,也沒有『我所』;已經存在的就應當斷除,斷除后就應當捨棄;對於快樂不執著,對於聚合不依戀。像這樣修行的人,是無上寂滅智慧所能見到的,但尚未證得。比丘像這樣修行,會到達哪裡呢?譬如一塊燒得通紅的鐵,用錘子敲打,迸出的火星飛向空中,落在大量的薪草上,冒出煙或燃燒,燃燒殆盡后就熄滅了。
English version: Similarly, when a bhikkhu is like this, with a little pride not yet completely eliminated, but having severed the five lower fetters, he attains intermediate parinibbana. This is the destination of the third good person. Such is the truth in the world. English version: Furthermore, a bhikkhu should practice thus: 『I』 is without self, and there is no 『mine』; the future is also without self, and there is no 『mine』; what already exists should be cut off, and having cut it off, it should be relinquished; one is not attached to pleasure, and not clinging to gatherings. One who practices like this is seen by the wisdom of supreme cessation, but has not yet attained it. Where does a bhikkhu who practices like this go? It is like a piece of iron burning red-hot, when struck with a hammer, sparks fly into the air and fall to the ground and are extinguished. Know that a bhikkhu is also like this, with a little pride not yet completely eliminated, but having severed the five lower fetters, he attains life parinibbana.

One who practices like this is seen by the wisdom of supreme cessation, but has not yet attained it. Where does a bhikkhu who practices like this go? It is like a piece of iron burning red-hot, when struck with a hammer, sparks fly into the air and fall on a little straw, smoking or burning, and having burned, are extinguished. Know that a bhikkhu is also like this, with a little pride not yet completely eliminated, but having severed the five lower fetters, he attains going parinibbana.

。當知比丘亦復如是,少慢未盡,五下分結已斷,得無行般涅槃,是謂第六善人所往至處。世間諦如有。
「複次。比丘行當如是。我者無我,亦無我所,當來無我,亦無我所,已有便斷,已斷得舍,有樂不染,合會不著。行如是者,無上息跡慧之所見,然未得證。比丘行如是,往至何所?譬若如鐵洞燃俱熾,以椎打之,迸火飛空,墮多薪草上,若煙若燃,燃已便燒村邑、城郭、山林、曠野。燒村邑、城郭、山林、曠野已,或至道、至水、至平地滅。當知比丘亦復如是,少慢未盡,五下分結已斷,得上流阿迦膩吒般涅槃,是謂第七善人所往至處。世間諦如有。
「云何無餘涅槃?比丘行當如是。我者無我,亦無我所,當來無我,亦無我所,已有便斷,已斷得舍,有樂不染,合會不著。行如是者,無上息跡慧之所見,而已得證。我說彼比丘不至東方,不至西方、南方、北方、四維、上、下,便於現法中息跡滅度。我向所說七善人所往至處及無餘涅槃者,因此故說。」

現代漢語譯本:當知比丘也是這樣,少許的驕慢還沒有完全消除,但已經斷除了五下分結,證得無行般涅槃,這就是第六種善人所到達的地方。世間的真理就是如此。 現代漢語譯本:再者,比丘應當這樣修行:『我』不是真實存在的,也沒有『我所』,未來也沒有『我』和『我所』,已經存在的就應當斷除,斷除后就應當捨棄,有快樂也不要被污染,聚合在一起也不要執著。』像這樣修行的人,能被無上寂滅智慧所見,但還沒有證得。比丘像這樣修行,會到達哪裡呢?譬如鐵塊被燒得通紅熾熱,用錘子敲打它,火星飛濺到空中,落在許多幹柴上,如果冒煙或燃燒,燃燒后就會燒燬村莊、城郭、山林、曠野。燒燬村莊、城郭、山林、曠野后,或許會到達道路、水邊、平地而熄滅。應當知道比丘也是這樣,少許的驕慢還沒有完全消除,但已經斷除了五下分結,證得上流阿迦膩吒般涅槃,這就是第七種善人所到達的地方。世間的真理就是如此。 現代漢語譯本:什麼是無餘涅槃呢?比丘應當這樣修行:『我』不是真實存在的,也沒有『我所』,未來也沒有『我』和『我所』,已經存在的就應當斷除,斷除后就應當捨棄,有快樂也不要被污染,聚合在一起也不要執著。』像這樣修行的人,能被無上寂滅智慧所見,而且已經證得。我說這位比丘不會到達東方,也不會到達西方、南方、北方、四維、上方、下方,就在現世中寂滅而度。我之前所說的七種善人所到達的地方以及無餘涅槃,就是因此而說的。 現代漢語譯本:佛陀就是這樣說的。那些比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 現代漢語譯本:善人往經第六結束(一千一百零三個字) 現代漢語譯本:(七)中阿含七法品世間福經第七(初一日誦) 現代漢語譯本:我聽聞是這樣的: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀在拘舍彌游化,住在瞿沙羅園。
English version: Know that a bhikkhu is also like this: with a little pride not yet exhausted, having cut off the five lower fetters, he attains non-returning parinibbana. This is the sixth destination of a good person. Such is the truth in the world. English version: Furthermore, a bhikkhu should practice like this: 『There is no 『I』, nor is there 『mine』; in the future there will be no 『I』, nor 『mine』; what already exists should be cut off; having cut it off, it should be abandoned; there is pleasure, but it should not be tainted; there is gathering, but there should be no attachment.』 One who practices like this is seen by the wisdom of supreme cessation, but has not yet attained it. Where does a bhikkhu who practices like this go? It is like a piece of iron burning red-hot, when struck with a hammer, sparks fly into the air and fall on much dry grass. If there is smoke or fire, after burning, it will burn villages, towns, forests, and wilderness. After burning villages, towns, forests, and wilderness, it may reach a road, water, or a flat place and be extinguished. Know that a bhikkhu is also like this: with a little pride not yet exhausted, having cut off the five lower fetters, he attains the upper stream Akanittha parinibbana. This is the seventh destination of a good person. Such is the truth in the world. English version: What is nibbana without remainder? A bhikkhu should practice like this: 『There is no 『I』, nor is there 『mine』; in the future there will be no 『I』, nor 『mine』; what already exists should be cut off; having cut it off, it should be abandoned; there is pleasure, but it should not be tainted; there is gathering, but there should be no attachment.』 One who practices like this is seen by the wisdom of supreme cessation, and has already attained it. I say that this bhikkhu does not go to the east, nor to the west, south, north, the four intermediate directions, above, or below, but in this very life, he is extinguished in cessation. The seven destinations of good people and nibbana without remainder that I spoke of earlier are spoken for this reason. English version: Thus spoke the Buddha. Those bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. English version: The sixth discourse on the destinations of good people ends (1103 words). English version: (7) The seventh discourse on worldly blessings in the Seven Dharmas Section of the Middle Length Discourses (recited on the first day). English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Kosambi, staying in Ghosita Park.
爾時,尊者摩訶周那則于晡時從宴坐起,往詣佛所,到已作禮,卻坐一面,白曰:「世尊!可得施設世間福耶?」
世尊告曰:「可得。周那!有七世間福,得大福祐,得大果報,得大名譽,得大功德。云何為七?周那!有信族姓男、族姓女,施比丘眾房舍、堂閣。周那!是謂第一世間之福,得大福祐,得大果報,得大名譽,得大功德。

「複次,周那!有信族姓男、族姓女,于房舍中常施於眾朝粥、中食,又以園民供給使令,若風雨寒雪,躬往園所,增施供養。諸比丘眾食已,不患風雨寒雪沽漬衣服,晝夜安樂禪寂思惟。周那!是謂第七世間之福,得大福祐,得大果報,得大名譽,得大功德。
「周那!信族姓男、族姓女已得此七世間福者,若去若來,若立若坐,若眠若覺,若晝若夜,其福常生,轉增轉廣
當時,尊者摩訶周那在下午從禪定中起身,前往佛陀所在之處,到達後向佛陀行禮,然後坐在一旁,說道:『世尊!可以設立世間的福報嗎?』 世尊回答說:『可以的。周那!有七種世間的福報,能獲得巨大的福佑,獲得巨大的果報,獲得巨大的名譽,獲得巨大的功德。哪七種呢?周那!有虔誠信心的善男子、善女人,佈施僧眾房舍、殿堂。周那!這被稱為第一種世間的福報,能獲得巨大的福佑,獲得巨大的果報,獲得巨大的名譽,獲得巨大的功德。』 『其次,周那!有虔誠信心的善男子、善女人,在房舍中佈施床座、毛毯、坐墊、氈褥、臥具。周那!這被稱為第二種世間的福報,能獲得巨大的福佑,獲得巨大的果報,獲得巨大的名譽,獲得巨大的功德。』 『其次,周那!有虔誠信心的善男子、善女人,在房舍中佈施一切嶄新干凈的精美衣服。周那!這被稱為第三種世間的福報,能獲得巨大的福佑,獲得巨大的果報,獲得巨大的名譽,獲得巨大的功德。』 『其次,周那!有虔誠信心的善男子、善女人,在房舍中經常佈施僧眾早粥、午飯,又安排園丁供給使喚,如果遇到風雨寒雪,親自前往園所,增加供養。眾比丘吃完飯後,不擔心風雨寒雪沾濕衣服,日夜安樂地禪定思惟。周那!這被稱為第七種世間的福報,能獲得巨大的福佑,獲得巨大的果報,獲得巨大的名譽,獲得巨大的功德。』 『周那!有虔誠信心的善男子、善女人已經獲得這七種世間福報的,無論去來、站立、坐臥、睡眠、清醒、白天、夜晚,他們的福報都會不斷增長,越來越廣闊。』
At that time, the venerable Mahācunda rose from his meditation in the afternoon, went to where the Buddha was, paid his respects, and sat down to one side, saying: 'Venerable Sir, is it possible to establish worldly blessings?' The Buddha replied: 'It is possible. Cunda, there are seven worldly blessings that bring great blessings, great rewards, great fame, and great merit. What are the seven? Cunda, there are faithful men and women of good families who donate dwellings and halls to the monastic community. Cunda, this is called the first worldly blessing, which brings great blessings, great rewards, great fame, and great merit.' 'Furthermore, Cunda, there are faithful men and women of good families who donate beds, blankets, cushions, felt rugs, and bedding in the dwellings. Cunda, this is called the second worldly blessing, which brings great blessings, great rewards, great fame, and great merit.' 'Furthermore, Cunda, there are faithful men and women of good families who donate all new and clean fine clothes in the dwellings. Cunda, this is called the third worldly blessing, which brings great blessings, great rewards, great fame, and great merit.' 'Furthermore, Cunda, there are faithful men and women of good families who regularly donate morning porridge and midday meals to the monastic community in the dwellings, and also arrange for gardeners to provide services. If there is wind, rain, cold, or snow, they personally go to the garden to increase their offerings. After the monks have eaten, they do not worry about wind, rain, cold, or snow soaking their clothes, and they can peacefully meditate day and night. Cunda, this is called the seventh worldly blessing, which brings great blessings, great rewards, great fame, and great merit.' 'Cunda, faithful men and women of good families who have obtained these seven worldly blessings, whether they go or come, stand or sit, sleep or wake, day or night, their blessings will constantly grow and become more extensive.'
。周那!譬如恒伽水,從源流出,入于大海,于其中間轉深轉廣。周那!如是信族姓男、族姓女已得此七世間福者,若去若來,若立若坐,若眠若覺,若晝若夜,其福常生,轉增轉廣。」
於是,尊者摩訶周那即從坐起,偏袒右肩,右膝著地,長跪叉手白曰:「世尊!可得施設出世間福耶?」
世尊告曰:「可得。周那!更有七福出於世間,得大福祐,得大果報,得大名譽,得大功德。云何為七?周那!有信族姓男、族姓女,聞如來、如來弟子游于某處,聞已歡喜,極懷踴躍。周那!是謂第一齣世間福,得大福祐,得大果報,得大名譽,得大功德。
「複次,周那!有信族姓男、族姓女,聞如來、如來弟子欲從彼至此,聞已歡喜,極懷踴躍。周那!是謂第二齣世間福,得大福祐,得大果報,得大名譽,得大功德。
「複次,周那!有信族姓男、族姓女,聞如來、如來弟子已從彼至此,聞已歡喜,極懷踴躍,以清凈心躬往奉見,禮敬供養,既供養已,受三自歸於佛、法及比丘眾,而受禁戒。周那!是謂第七齣世間福,得大福祐,得大果報,得大名譽,得大功德
現代漢語譯本:周那!譬如恒河之水,從源頭流出,匯入大海,在其中間逐漸變得深廣。周那!就像這樣,有信仰的善男子、善女人已經獲得了這七種世間福報,無論他們是行走、來去、站立、坐臥、睡眠還是清醒,無論是白天還是夜晚,他們的福報都會持續增長,越來越廣闊。 於是,尊者摩訶周那立即從座位上起身,袒露右肩,右膝跪地,長跪合掌說道:『世尊!可以施設出世間的福報嗎?』 世尊回答說:『可以的。周那!還有七種福報超越世間,能夠獲得巨大的福佑,獲得巨大的果報,獲得巨大的名譽,獲得巨大的功德。這七種是什麼呢?周那!有信仰的善男子、善女人,聽說如來、如來的弟子在某個地方游化,聽聞後心生歡喜,非常興奮。周那!這就是第一種出世間的福報,能夠獲得巨大的福佑,獲得巨大的果報,獲得巨大的名譽,獲得巨大的功德。』 『其次,周那!有信仰的善男子、善女人,聽說如來、如來的弟子將要從那裡來到這裡,聽聞後心生歡喜,非常興奮。周那!這就是第二種出世間的福報,能夠獲得巨大的福佑,獲得巨大的果報,獲得巨大的名譽,獲得巨大的功德。』 『其次,周那!有信仰的善男子、善女人,聽說如來、如來的弟子已經從那裡來到這裡,聽聞後心生歡喜,非常興奮,以清凈的心親自前往拜見,禮敬供養,供養完畢后,皈依佛、法、僧三寶,並受持戒律。周那!這就是第七種出世間的福報,能夠獲得巨大的福佑,獲得巨大的果報,獲得巨大的名譽,獲得巨大的功德。』
English version: 'Juna! It's like the water of the Ganges River, flowing from its source and entering the ocean, becoming deeper and wider in between. Juna! Just like that, faithful men and women who have already obtained these seven worldly blessings, whether they go, come, stand, sit, sleep, or are awake, whether it's day or night, their blessings constantly grow, becoming ever more vast.' Then, the venerable Maha Juna immediately rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, and with palms together, said: 'World Honored One! Is it possible to establish blessings that transcend the world?' The World Honored One replied: 'It is possible. Juna! There are seven more blessings that transcend the world, which can obtain great blessings, great rewards, great fame, and great merit. What are these seven? Juna! Faithful men and women, upon hearing that the Tathagata and the Tathagata's disciples are traveling in a certain place, feel joy and great excitement. Juna! This is the first blessing that transcends the world, which can obtain great blessings, great rewards, great fame, and great merit.' 'Furthermore, Juna! Faithful men and women, upon hearing that the Tathagata and the Tathagata's disciples are about to come from there to here, feel joy and great excitement. Juna! This is the second blessing that transcends the world, which can obtain great blessings, great rewards, great fame, and great merit.' 'Furthermore, Juna! Faithful men and women, upon hearing that the Tathagata and the Tathagata's disciples have already come from there to here, feel joy and great excitement, and with a pure heart, personally go to see them, pay respects, and make offerings. After making offerings, they take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, and receive the precepts. Juna! This is the seventh blessing that transcends the world, which can obtain great blessings, great rewards, great fame, and great merit.'
「周那!信族姓男、族姓女若得此七世間之福及更有七出世間福者,其福不可數,有爾所福,爾所福果,爾所福報,唯不可限、不可量、不可得大福之數。周那!譬如從閻浮洲有五河流:一曰恒伽,二曰搖尤那,三曰舍勞浮,四曰阿夷羅婆提,五曰摩企,流入大海,于其中間水不可數,有爾所升斛,唯不可限,不可量、不可得大水之數。周那!如是信族姓男、族姓女若得此七世間之福及更有七出世間福者,其福不可數,有爾所福,爾所福果,爾所福報,唯不可限、不可量、不可得大福之數。」
爾時,世尊而說頌曰:
「恒伽之河, 清凈易渡, 海多珍寶, 眾水中王。 猶若河水, 世人敬奉, 諸川所歸, 引入大海。 如是人者, 施衣飲食, 床㯓茵褥, 及諸坐具。 無量福報, 將至妙處, 猶若河水, 引入大海。」
佛說如是。尊者摩訶周那及諸比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。
世間福經第七竟(九百九十三字)
(八)中阿含七法品七日經第八(初一日誦)
一時,佛游鞞舍離,在㮈氏樹園
『周那!如果信奉佛法的善男子、善女人能夠獲得這七種世間的福報,以及另外七種出世間的福報,那麼他們的福德將不可計數,擁有如此之多的福德、福果、福報,其數量之大,無法限定、無法衡量、無法計算。周那!譬如閻浮提有五條河流:第一條叫恒河,第二條叫搖尤那河,第三條叫舍勞浮河,第四條叫阿夷羅婆提河,第五條叫摩企河,它們都流入大海,其中間的水量不可計數,擁有如此之多的升斗,其數量之大,無法限定、無法衡量、無法計算。周那!同樣,如果信奉佛法的善男子、善女人能夠獲得這七種世間的福報,以及另外七種出世間的福報,那麼他們的福德將不可計數,擁有如此之多的福德、福果、福報,其數量之大,無法限定、無法衡量、無法計算。』 當時,世尊說了這樣的偈頌: 『恒河之水,清澈易渡,大海之中,珍寶眾多,為眾水之王。猶如河水,世人敬奉,眾川所歸,最終匯入大海。如此之人,佈施衣物飲食,床榻坐具,以及各種臥具。無量的福報,將引導他們到達美好的境界,猶如河水,最終匯入大海。』 佛陀如此說道。尊者摩訶周那以及眾比丘,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《世間福經》第七完(共九百九十三字) (八)《中阿含經》七法品《七日經》第八(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在毗舍離的㮈氏樹園游化。
『Juna! If a faithful man or woman of good family obtains these seven worldly blessings and also seven more transcendental blessings, their merit will be immeasurable. They will have so much merit, so much fruit of merit, so much reward of merit, that it cannot be limited, measured, or calculated. Juna! For example, there are five rivers flowing from Jambudvipa: the first is called the Ganges, the second is called the Yamuna, the third is called the Sarayu, the fourth is called the Aciravati, and the fifth is called the Mahi. They all flow into the great ocean. The water in between is immeasurable, with so many measures, that it cannot be limited, measured, or calculated. Juna! Similarly, if a faithful man or woman of good family obtains these seven worldly blessings and also seven more transcendental blessings, their merit will be immeasurable. They will have so much merit, so much fruit of merit, so much reward of merit, that it cannot be limited, measured, or calculated.』 At that time, the World-Honored One spoke this verse: 『The waters of the Ganges, are clear and easy to cross, the ocean is full of treasures, the king of all waters. Just like the river, revered by the world, where all streams converge, and flow into the great ocean. So it is with those who give clothes and food, beds, seats, and bedding. Immeasurable merit, will lead them to a wonderful place, just like the river, flowing into the great ocean.』 The Buddha spoke thus. The Venerable Maha Juna and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The seventh discourse, 『The Worldly Blessings Sutra,』 is complete (993 words). (8) The eighth discourse, 『The Seven Days Sutra』 from the 『Seven Laws Chapter』 of the 『Madhyama Agama』 (recited on the first day). At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Vaishali, staying in the Garden of the Nat Tree.
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「一切行無常,不久住法、速變易法、不可猗法,如是諸行不當樂著,當患厭之,當求舍離,當求解脫。所以者何?有時不雨,當不雨時,一切諸樹、百穀、藥木皆悉枯槁,摧碎滅盡,不得常住。是故一切行無常,不久住法、速變易法、不可猗法,如是諸行不當樂著,當患厭之,當求舍離,當求解脫。
「複次,有時二日出世,二日出時,諸溝渠川流皆悉竭盡,不得常住。是故一切行無常,不久住法、速變易法、不可猗法,如是諸行不當樂著,當患厭之,當求舍離,當求解脫。
「複次,有時三日出世,三日出時,諸大江河皆悉竭盡,不得常住。是故一切行無常,不久住法、速變易法,不可猗法,如是諸行不當樂著,當患厭之,當求舍離,當求解脫。
「複次,有時四日出世,四日出時,諸大泉源從閻浮洲五河所出:一曰恒伽,二曰搖尤那,三曰舍牢浮,四曰阿夷羅婆提,五曰摩企,彼大泉源皆悉竭盡,不得常住。是故一切行無常,不久住法、速變易法,不可猗法,如是諸行不當樂著,當患厭之,當求舍離,當求解脫
那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『一切行為都是無常的,不會長久存在,是快速變化和不可依賴的。因此,對於這些行為不應該貪戀執著,應當感到厭惡,應當尋求捨棄,應當求解脫。為什麼呢?因為有時會不下雨,當不下雨時,所有的樹木、穀物、藥草都會枯萎,破碎滅盡,不能夠長久存在。所以說,一切行為都是無常的,不會長久存在,是快速變化和不可依賴的。因此,對於這些行為不應該貪戀執著,應當感到厭惡,應當尋求捨棄,應當求解脫。』 『再者,有時會有兩個太陽出現,當兩個太陽出現時,所有的溝渠河流都會乾涸,不能夠長久存在。所以說,一切行為都是無常的,不會長久存在,是快速變化和不可依賴的。因此,對於這些行為不應該貪戀執著,應當感到厭惡,應當尋求捨棄,應當求解脫。』 『再者,有時會有三個太陽出現,當三個太陽出現時,所有的大江大河都會乾涸,不能夠長久存在。所以說,一切行為都是無常的,不會長久存在,是快速變化和不可依賴的。因此,對於這些行為不應該貪戀執著,應當感到厭惡,應當尋求捨棄,應當求解脫。』 『再者,有時會有四個太陽出現,當四個太陽出現時,所有從閻浮洲五條河流發源的大泉源:第一條是恒河,第二條是搖尤那河,第三條是舍牢浮河,第四條是阿夷羅婆提河,第五條是摩企河,這些大泉源都會乾涸,不能夠長久存在。所以說,一切行為都是無常的,不會長久存在,是快速變化和不可依賴的。因此,對於這些行為不應該貪戀執著,應當感到厭惡,應當尋求捨棄,應當求解脫。』
At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'All actions are impermanent, they do not last long, they are subject to rapid change, and they are unreliable. Therefore, one should not be attached to these actions, but should feel aversion to them, seek to abandon them, and seek liberation. Why is this so? Because sometimes it does not rain, and when it does not rain, all trees, grains, and medicinal plants will wither, break, and perish, and cannot last long. Therefore, all actions are impermanent, they do not last long, they are subject to rapid change, and they are unreliable. Therefore, one should not be attached to these actions, but should feel aversion to them, seek to abandon them, and seek liberation.' 'Furthermore, sometimes two suns appear in the world, and when two suns appear, all ditches and streams will dry up and cannot last long. Therefore, all actions are impermanent, they do not last long, they are subject to rapid change, and they are unreliable. Therefore, one should not be attached to these actions, but should feel aversion to them, seek to abandon them, and seek liberation.' 'Furthermore, sometimes three suns appear in the world, and when three suns appear, all great rivers will dry up and cannot last long. Therefore, all actions are impermanent, they do not last long, they are subject to rapid change, and they are unreliable. Therefore, one should not be attached to these actions, but should feel aversion to them, seek to abandon them, and seek liberation.' 'Furthermore, sometimes four suns appear in the world, and when four suns appear, all the great springs that originate from the five rivers of Jambudvipa: the first is the Ganges, the second is the Yamuna, the third is the Sarayu, the fourth is the Aciravati, and the fifth is the Mahi, these great springs will all dry up and cannot last long. Therefore, all actions are impermanent, they do not last long, they are subject to rapid change, and they are unreliable. Therefore, one should not be attached to these actions, but should feel aversion to them, seek to abandon them, and seek liberation.'
「複次,有時五日出世,五日出時,大海水減一百由延,轉減乃至七百由延;五日出時,海水余有七百由延,轉減乃至一百由延;五日出時,大海水減一多羅樹,轉減乃至七多羅樹;五日出時,海水余有七多羅樹,轉減乃至一多羅樹;五日出時,海水減一人,轉減乃至七人;五日出時,海水余有七人,轉減乃至一人;五日出時,海水減至頸、至肩、至腰、至䐀、至膝、至踝,有時海水消盡,不足沒指。是故一切行無常,不久住法、速變易法、不可猗法,如是諸行不當樂著,當患厭之,當求舍離,當求解脫。
「複次,有時六日出世,六日出時,一切大地須彌山王皆悉煙起,合為一煙,譬如陶師始爨灶時,皆悉煙起,合為一煙。如是六日出時,一切大地須彌山王皆悉煙起,合為一煙。是故一切行無常,不久住法、速變易法,不可猗法,如是諸行不當樂著,當患厭之,當求舍離,當求解脫。
「複次,有時七日出世,七日出時,一切大地須彌山王洞燃俱熾,合為一㷿;如是七日出時,一切大地須彌山王洞燃俱熾,合為一㷿,風吹火㷿,乃至梵天
『再者,有時五個太陽出現於世,當五個太陽出現時,大海的水會減少一百由旬,逐漸減少乃至七百由旬;當五個太陽出現時,海水剩餘七百由旬,逐漸減少乃至一百由旬;當五個太陽出現時,海水減少一多羅樹的高度,逐漸減少乃至七多羅樹的高度;當五個太陽出現時,海水剩餘七多羅樹的高度,逐漸減少乃至一多羅樹的高度;當五個太陽出現時,海水減少一個人的高度,逐漸減少乃至七個人的高度;當五個太陽出現時,海水剩餘七個人的高度,逐漸減少乃至一個人的高度;當五個太陽出現時,海水減少到頸部、到肩部、到腰部、到臀部、到膝蓋、到腳踝,有時海水會完全消失,甚至不足以沒過手指。因此,一切事物都是無常的,不是長久存在的,是快速變化的,是不可依賴的。像這樣的事物不應該貪戀執著,應當感到厭惡,應當尋求捨棄,應當求解脫。』 『再者,有時六個太陽出現於世,當六個太陽出現時,一切大地和須彌山王都會冒煙,合為一股煙,就像陶工剛開始燒窯時,都會冒煙,合為一股煙。像這樣,當六個太陽出現時,一切大地和須彌山王都會冒煙,合為一股煙。因此,一切事物都是無常的,不是長久存在的,是快速變化的,是不可依賴的。像這樣的事物不應該貪戀執著,應當感到厭惡,應當尋求捨棄,應當求解脫。』 『再者,有時七個太陽出現於世,當七個太陽出現時,一切大地和須彌山王都會燃燒起來,合為一片火焰;像這樣,當七個太陽出現時,一切大地和須彌山王都會燃燒起來,合為一片火焰,風吹著火焰,甚至到達梵天。』
'Furthermore, sometimes five suns appear in the world. When five suns appear, the water of the great ocean decreases by one hundred yojanas, gradually decreasing to seven hundred yojanas; when five suns appear, the remaining seawater is seven hundred yojanas, gradually decreasing to one hundred yojanas; when five suns appear, the seawater decreases by the height of one tala tree, gradually decreasing to seven tala trees; when five suns appear, the remaining seawater is the height of seven tala trees, gradually decreasing to one tala tree; when five suns appear, the seawater decreases by the height of one person, gradually decreasing to seven people; when five suns appear, the remaining seawater is the height of seven people, gradually decreasing to one person; when five suns appear, the seawater decreases to the neck, to the shoulder, to the waist, to the buttocks, to the knees, to the ankles, and sometimes the seawater completely disappears, not even enough to cover a finger. Therefore, all things are impermanent, not lasting, quickly changing, and unreliable. Such things should not be clung to with attachment, but should be loathed, sought to be abandoned, and sought for liberation.' 'Furthermore, sometimes six suns appear in the world. When six suns appear, all the earth and Mount Sumeru will emit smoke, merging into one smoke, just like when a potter first starts a kiln, smoke will rise and merge into one smoke. Likewise, when six suns appear, all the earth and Mount Sumeru will emit smoke, merging into one smoke. Therefore, all things are impermanent, not lasting, quickly changing, and unreliable. Such things should not be clung to with attachment, but should be loathed, sought to be abandoned, and sought for liberation.' 'Furthermore, sometimes seven suns appear in the world. When seven suns appear, all the earth and Mount Sumeru will ignite and burn together, merging into one flame; likewise, when seven suns appear, all the earth and Mount Sumeru will ignite and burn together, merging into one flame, and the wind will blow the flames, even reaching the Brahma heaven.'
。是時,晃昱諸天始生天者,不諳世間成敗,不見世間成敗,不知世間成敗,見大火已,皆恐怖毛豎而作是念:『火不來至此耶?火不來至此耶?』前生諸天諳世間成敗,見世間成敗,知世間成敗,見大火已,慰勞諸天曰:『莫得恐怖,火法齊彼,終不至此。』七日出時,須彌山王百由延崩散壞滅盡,二百由延、三百由延,乃至七百由延崩散壞滅盡;七日出時,須彌山王及此大地燒壞消滅,無餘栽燼,如燃酥油,煎熬消盡,無餘煙墨;如是七日出時,須彌山王及此大地無餘災燼。是故一切行無常,不久住法、速變易法、不可猗法,如是諸行不當樂著,當患厭之,當求舍離,當求解脫。
「我今為汝說須彌山王當崩壞盡,誰有能信?唯見諦者耳,我今為汝說大海水當竭消盡,誰有能信?唯見諦者耳。我今為汝說一切大地當燒燃盡,誰有能信?唯見諦者耳。所以者何?比丘!昔有大師名曰善眼,為外道仙人之所師宗,舍離欲愛,得如意足。善眼大師有無量百千弟子,善眼大師為諸弟子說梵世法,若善眼大師為說梵世法時,諸弟子等有不具足奉行法者,彼命終已,或生四王天,或生三十三天,或生㷿摩天,或生兜率哆天,或生化樂天,或生他化樂天
現代漢語譯本:當時,光音天的諸天剛剛誕生,不瞭解世間的成敗,沒有見過世間的成敗,不知道世間的成敗。當他們看到大火時,都感到恐懼,毛髮豎立,心中想著:『火會不會燒到這裡來?火會不會燒到這裡來?』而之前誕生的諸天瞭解世間的成敗,見過世間的成敗,知道世間的成敗。當他們看到大火時,就安慰那些諸天說:『不要害怕,火的規律是到那裡為止,最終不會燒到這裡。』當第七個太陽出現時,須彌山王一百由旬的部分崩塌、散壞、滅盡,二百由旬、三百由旬,乃至七百由旬的部分都崩塌、散壞、滅盡。當第七個太陽出現時,須彌山王和這片大地都被燒燬、消滅,沒有留下任何殘餘的灰燼,就像燃燒的酥油一樣,煎熬消盡,沒有留下任何煙塵。就像這樣,當第七個太陽出現時,須彌山王和這片大地都將沒有殘餘的災燼。因此,一切事物都是無常的,不會長久存在,變化迅速,不可依賴。像這樣的事物不應該貪戀執著,應當感到厭惡,應當尋求捨棄,應當求解脫。 『我現在告訴你們,須彌山王將會崩塌毀滅,誰能相信呢?只有那些證悟真理的人才能相信。我現在告訴你們,大海的水將會枯竭消失,誰能相信呢?只有那些證悟真理的人才能相信。我現在告訴你們,一切大地都將被燒燬殆盡,誰能相信呢?只有那些證悟真理的人才能相信。』這是為什麼呢?比丘們!過去有一位大師名叫善眼,是外道仙人們所尊崇的老師。他捨棄了對慾望的愛戀,獲得瞭如意神通。善眼大師有無數的弟子,善眼大師為弟子們講說梵天世界的法則。當善眼大師講說梵天世界的法則時,那些沒有完全奉行這些法則的弟子,他們死後,有的轉生到四王天,有的轉生到三十三天,有的轉生到焰摩天,有的轉生到兜率天,有的轉生到化樂天,有的轉生到他化自在天。
English version: At that time, the devas of the Ābhāsvara heavens, who were newly born, did not understand the success and failure of the world, had not seen the success and failure of the world, and did not know the success and failure of the world. When they saw the great fire, they were all terrified, their hair stood on end, and they thought: 『Will the fire not come here? Will the fire not come here?』 The devas who were born earlier understood the success and failure of the world, had seen the success and failure of the world, and knew the success and failure of the world. When they saw the great fire, they comforted the devas, saying: 『Do not be afraid, the law of fire is limited to that place, and it will not reach here.』 When the seventh sun appeared, the one hundred yojanas of Mount Sumeru collapsed, scattered, and were destroyed, and the two hundred yojanas, three hundred yojanas, up to seven hundred yojanas collapsed, scattered, and were destroyed. When the seventh sun appeared, Mount Sumeru and this earth were burned, destroyed, and nothing remained, like ghee that has been burned, boiled away, and no smoke or soot remains. Thus, when the seventh sun appeared, Mount Sumeru and this earth would have no remaining ashes. Therefore, all things are impermanent, do not last long, change quickly, and are unreliable. Such things should not be clung to with desire, but should be loathed, should be sought to be abandoned, and should be sought to be liberated. 『Now I tell you, Mount Sumeru will collapse and be destroyed, who can believe it? Only those who have seen the truth can believe it. Now I tell you, the water of the great ocean will dry up and disappear, who can believe it? Only those who have seen the truth can believe it. Now I tell you, all the earth will be burned and destroyed, who can believe it? Only those who have seen the truth can believe it.』 Why is this so? Monks! In the past, there was a master named Good Eyes, who was revered as a teacher by the ascetic outsiders. He abandoned the love of desire and attained supernatural powers. Master Good Eyes had countless disciples, and Master Good Eyes taught the laws of the Brahma world to his disciples. When Master Good Eyes taught the laws of the Brahma world, those disciples who did not fully practice these laws, after they died, some were reborn in the Heaven of the Four Great Kings, some were reborn in the Heaven of the Thirty-three, some were reborn in the Yama Heaven, some were reborn in the Tusita Heaven, some were reborn in the Nirmāṇarati Heaven, and some were reborn in the Paranirmitavaśavartin Heaven.
。若善眼大師為說梵世法時,諸弟子等設有具足奉行法者,彼修四梵室,舍離於欲,彼命終已,得生梵天。彼時善眼大師而作是念:『我不應與弟子等同俱至後世共生一處,我今寧可更修增上慈。修增上慈已,命終得生晃昱天中。』彼時善眼大師則於後時更修增上慈,修增上慈已,命終得生晃昱天中。善眼大師及諸弟子學道不虛,得大果報。
「諸比丘!于意云何?昔善眼大師為外道仙人之所師宗,舍離欲愛,得如意足者,汝謂異人耶?莫作斯念,當知即是我也。我于爾時名善眼大師,為外道仙人之所師宗,舍離欲愛,得如意足;我于爾時有無量百千弟子,我于爾時為諸弟子說梵世法。我說梵世法時,諸弟子等有不具足奉行法者,彼命終已,或生四王天,或生三十三天,或生㷿摩天,或生兜率哆天,或生化樂天,或生他化樂天。我說梵世法時,諸弟子等設有具足奉行法者,修四梵室,舍離於欲,彼命終已,得生梵天。我于爾時而作是念:『我不應與弟子等同俱至後世共生一處,我今寧可更修增上慈。修增上慈已,命終得生晃昱天中。』我於後時更修增上慈,修增上慈已,命終得生晃昱天中。我于爾時及諸弟子學道不虛,得大果報
現代漢語譯本:如果善眼大師為他們講說關於梵天世界的修行方法時,他的弟子們如果有能夠完全按照教法修行的,他們就會修習四梵住,捨棄慾望,這些人死後就能往生到梵天。那時,善眼大師會這樣想:『我不應該和我的弟子們在來世一同出生在同一個地方,我寧願修習更高級的慈心。』修習更高級的慈心后,他死後就能往生到晃昱天。那時,善眼大師後來又修習了更高級的慈心,修習后,他死後就往生到了晃昱天。善眼大師和他的弟子們修習佛法都沒有白費,都獲得了巨大的果報。 『各位比丘!你們覺得怎麼樣?』過去那位善眼大師,是外道仙人的老師,他捨棄了慾望的愛戀,獲得瞭如意神通,你們認為他是另外一個人嗎?不要這樣想,你們應當知道他就是我。我那時名叫善眼大師,是外道仙人的老師,捨棄了慾望的愛戀,獲得瞭如意神通;我那時有無數的弟子,我那時為我的弟子們講說關於梵天世界的修行方法。當我講說梵天世界的修行方法時,我的弟子們有不能完全按照教法修行的,他們死後,有的往生到四王天,有的往生到三十三天,有的往生到㷿摩天,有的往生到兜率天,有的往生到化樂天,有的往生到他化自在天。當我講說梵天世界的修行方法時,我的弟子們如果有能夠完全按照教法修行的,他們就會修習四梵住,捨棄慾望,這些人死後就能往生到梵天。那時,我會這樣想:『我不應該和我的弟子們在來世一同出生在同一個地方,我寧願修習更高級的慈心。』修習更高級的慈心后,我死後就能往生到晃昱天。我後來又修習了更高級的慈心,修習后,我死後就往生到了晃昱天。我和我的弟子們修習佛法都沒有白費,都獲得了巨大的果報。
English version: If Master Good Eyes were to explain the practices of the Brahma world, and if his disciples were to fully practice these teachings, they would cultivate the four Brahma abodes, abandon desires, and upon death, be reborn in the Brahma heaven. At that time, Master Good Eyes would think: 『I should not be reborn in the same place as my disciples in the next life; I would rather cultivate a higher level of loving-kindness.』 Having cultivated a higher level of loving-kindness, upon death, he would be reborn in the Abhasvara heaven. Later, Master Good Eyes cultivated a higher level of loving-kindness, and upon death, he was reborn in the Abhasvara heaven. Master Good Eyes and his disciples did not practice the path in vain, and they all received great rewards. 『Monks, what do you think?』 In the past, Master Good Eyes, who was the teacher of the non-Buddhist ascetics, having abandoned the love of desire and attained supernatural powers, do you think he was someone else? Do not think so; you should know that he was me. At that time, I was called Master Good Eyes, the teacher of the non-Buddhist ascetics, having abandoned the love of desire and attained supernatural powers. At that time, I had countless disciples, and I explained to them the practices of the Brahma world. When I explained the practices of the Brahma world, some of my disciples did not fully practice the teachings, and upon death, some were reborn in the Heaven of the Four Kings, some in the Heaven of the Thirty-three, some in the Yama Heaven, some in the Tusita Heaven, some in the Nirmanarati Heaven, and some in the Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven. When I explained the practices of the Brahma world, if my disciples were to fully practice the teachings, they would cultivate the four Brahma abodes, abandon desires, and upon death, be reborn in the Brahma heaven. At that time, I would think: 『I should not be reborn in the same place as my disciples in the next life; I would rather cultivate a higher level of loving-kindness.』 Having cultivated a higher level of loving-kindness, upon death, I would be reborn in the Abhasvara heaven. Later, I cultivated a higher level of loving-kindness, and upon death, I was reborn in the Abhasvara heaven. My disciples and I did not practice the path in vain, and we all received great rewards.
。我于爾時親行斯道,為自饒益,亦饒益他,饒益多人,愍傷世間,為天、為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂,爾時說法不至究竟,不究竟白凈,不究竟梵行,不究竟梵行訖,爾時不離生、老、病、死、啼哭、憂戚,亦未能得脫一切苦。
「比丘!我今出世,如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐;我今自饒益,亦饒益他,饒益多人,愍傷世間,為天、為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂;我今說法得至究竟,究竟白凈,究竟梵行;究竟梵行訖,我今已離生、老、病、死、啼哭、憂戚,我今已得脫一切苦。」

(九)中阿含七法品七車經第九(初一日誦)
一時,佛游王舍城,在竹林精舍,與大比丘眾共受夏坐,尊者滿慈子亦于生地受夏坐。是時,生地諸比丘受夏坐訖,過三月已,補治衣竟,攝衣持缽,從生地出,向王舍城,展轉進前,至王舍城,住王舍城竹林精舍。
是時,生地諸比丘詣世尊所,稽首作禮,卻坐一面。
世尊問曰:「諸比丘!從何所來?何處夏坐?」
生地諸比丘白曰:「世尊!從生地來,于生地夏坐
現代漢語譯本:我那時親自修行這條道路,是爲了自己獲得利益,也爲了利益他人,利益眾多的人,憐憫世間,為天人和人尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。那時我所說的法並不究竟,不究竟清凈,不究竟梵行,不究竟梵行結束。那時我沒有脫離生、老、病、死、啼哭、憂愁,也不能夠脫離一切痛苦。 現代漢語譯本:『比丘們!我現在出世,如來、無所著、等正覺、明行圓滿、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊;我現在自己獲得利益,也利益他人,利益眾多的人,憐憫世間,為天人和人尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂;我現在所說的法達到究竟,究竟清凈,究竟梵行;究竟梵行結束,我現在已經脫離生、老、病、死、啼哭、憂愁,我現在已經脫離一切痛苦。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀這樣說。那些比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 現代漢語譯本:七日經第八結束(一千七百一字) 現代漢語譯本:(九)中阿含七法品七車經第九(初一日誦) 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀在王舍城游化,住在竹林精舍,與眾多大比丘一起安居過夏。尊者滿慈子也在生地安居過夏。當時,生地諸比丘安居過夏結束,過了三個月后,修補好衣服,收拾好衣缽,從生地出發,前往王舍城,輾轉前進,到達王舍城,住在王舍城竹林精舍。 現代漢語譯本:當時,生地諸比丘前往世尊所在之處,頂禮問訊,然後坐在一旁。 現代漢語譯本:世尊問道:『諸位比丘!你們從哪裡來?在哪裡安居過夏?』 現代漢語譯本:生地諸比丘回答說:『世尊!我們從生地來,在生地安居過夏。』
English version: At that time, I personally practiced this path for my own benefit, and also for the benefit of others, for the benefit of many, with compassion for the world, seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness. At that time, the Dharma I taught was not ultimate, not ultimately pure, not ultimately the holy life, not ultimately the end of the holy life. At that time, I was not free from birth, old age, sickness, death, weeping, and sorrow, nor was I able to escape all suffering. English version: 'Monks! Now I have appeared in the world, a Tathagata, Arahant, Fully Enlightened One, perfect in knowledge and conduct, Well-Gone, Knower of the World, Unsurpassed Trainer of those who can be trained, Teacher of gods and humans, the Buddha, the Blessed One; now I benefit myself, and also benefit others, benefit many, with compassion for the world, seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness; now the Dharma I teach has reached the ultimate, is ultimately pure, is ultimately the holy life; the holy life has reached its end, now I have escaped birth, old age, sickness, death, weeping, and sorrow, now I have escaped all suffering.' English version: The Buddha spoke thus. Those monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. English version: The Eighth Discourse of the Seven Days is concluded (one thousand seven hundred and one words). English version: (9) The Ninth Discourse of the Seven Chariots in the Seven Dharmas Section of the Middle Length Discourses (recited on the first day). English version: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Rajagaha, staying at the Bamboo Grove Monastery, observing the rainy season retreat with a large community of monks. The Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra was also observing the rainy season retreat in his native place. At that time, the monks from his native place, having completed their rainy season retreat, after three months, having repaired their robes, collected their robes and bowls, departed from their native place, heading towards Rajagaha, gradually progressing, arriving at Rajagaha, and staying at the Bamboo Grove Monastery in Rajagaha. English version: At that time, the monks from his native place went to where the Blessed One was, bowed their heads in reverence, and sat down to one side. English version: The Blessed One asked, 'Monks! From where have you come? Where did you observe the rainy season retreat?' English version: The monks from his native place replied, 'Blessed One! We have come from our native place, and we observed the rainy season retreat in our native place.'
世尊問曰:「于彼生地諸比丘中,何等比丘為諸比丘所共稱譽,自少欲、知足,稱說少欲、知足;自閑居,稱說閑居;自精進,稱說精進;自正念,稱說正念;自一心,稱說一心;自智慧,稱說智慧;自漏盡,稱說漏盡;自勸發渴仰、成就歡喜,稱說勸發渴仰、成就歡喜?」
生地諸比丘白曰:「世尊!尊者滿慈子于彼生地,為諸比丘所共稱譽,自少欲、知足,稱說少欲、知足;自閑居,稱說閑居;自精進,稱說精進;自正念,稱說正念;自一心,稱說一心;自智慧,稱說智慧;自漏盡,稱說漏盡;自勸發渴仰、成就歡喜,稱說勸發渴仰、成就歡喜。」
是時,尊者舍梨子在眾中坐,尊者舍梨子作如是念:「世尊如事問彼生地諸比丘輩,生地諸比丘極大稱譽賢者滿慈子,自少欲、知足,稱說少欲、知足;自閑居,稱說閑居;自精進,稱說精進;自正念,稱說正念;自一心,稱說一心;自智慧,稱說智慧;自漏盡,稱說漏盡;自勸發渴仰、成就歡喜,稱說勸發渴仰,成就歡喜。」
尊者舍梨子復作是念:「何時當得與賢者滿慈子共聚集會,問其少義,彼或能聽我之所問
世尊問道:『在那些地方出生的比丘中,哪位比丘被其他比丘共同稱讚,自己少欲知足,也宣說少欲知足;自己喜歡獨處,也宣說獨處;自己精進,也宣說精進;自己正念,也宣說正念;自己一心,也宣說一心;自己有智慧,也宣說智慧;自己斷盡煩惱,也宣說斷盡煩惱;自己勸勉渴求、成就歡喜,也宣說勸勉渴求、成就歡喜?』 那些地方出生的比丘回答說:『世尊!尊者滿慈子在那些地方出生,被其他比丘共同稱讚,自己少欲知足,也宣說少欲知足;自己喜歡獨處,也宣說獨處;自己精進,也宣說精進;自己正念,也宣說正念;自己一心,也宣說一心;自己有智慧,也宣說智慧;自己斷盡煩惱,也宣說斷盡煩惱;自己勸勉渴求、成就歡喜,也宣說勸勉渴求、成就歡喜。』 當時,尊者舍利子在眾中坐著,尊者舍利子心想:『世尊像這樣詢問那些地方出生的比丘們,那些地方出生的比丘們極力稱讚賢者滿慈子,說他自己少欲知足,也宣說少欲知足;自己喜歡獨處,也宣說獨處;自己精進,也宣說精進;自己正念,也宣說正念;自己一心,也宣說一心;自己有智慧,也宣說智慧;自己斷盡煩惱,也宣說斷盡煩惱;自己勸勉渴求、成就歡喜,也宣說勸勉渴求、成就歡喜。』 尊者舍利子又想:『什麼時候能和賢者滿慈子一起相處,問他一些道理,他或許會聽我的問題。』
The World-Honored One asked: 'Among the monks born in those places, which monk is praised by all the other monks, who is content with little desire and speaks of contentment with little desire; who dwells in solitude and speaks of solitude; who is diligent and speaks of diligence; who is mindful and speaks of mindfulness; who is of one mind and speaks of one mind; who has wisdom and speaks of wisdom; who has exhausted defilements and speaks of the exhaustion of defilements; who encourages aspiration and achieves joy, and speaks of encouraging aspiration and achieving joy?' The monks born in those places replied: 'World-Honored One! Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra, born in those places, is praised by all the other monks, who is content with little desire and speaks of contentment with little desire; who dwells in solitude and speaks of solitude; who is diligent and speaks of diligence; who is mindful and speaks of mindfulness; who is of one mind and speaks of one mind; who has wisdom and speaks of wisdom; who has exhausted defilements and speaks of the exhaustion of defilements; who encourages aspiration and achieves joy, and speaks of encouraging aspiration and achieving joy.' At that time, Venerable Sariputra was sitting in the assembly. Venerable Sariputra thought: 'The World-Honored One asked the monks born in those places in this way, and the monks born in those places greatly praised the worthy Purna Maitrayaniputra, saying that he himself is content with little desire and speaks of contentment with little desire; that he dwells in solitude and speaks of solitude; that he is diligent and speaks of diligence; that he is mindful and speaks of mindfulness; that he is of one mind and speaks of one mind; that he has wisdom and speaks of wisdom; that he has exhausted defilements and speaks of the exhaustion of defilements; that he encourages aspiration and achieves joy, and speaks of encouraging aspiration and achieving joy.' Venerable Sariputra further thought: 'When will I be able to be with the worthy Purna Maitrayaniputra, ask him about some principles, and perhaps he will listen to my questions?'
爾時,世尊于王舍城受夏坐訖,過三月已,補治衣竟,攝衣持缽,從王舍城出,向舍衛國,展轉進前,至舍衛國,即住勝林給孤獨園。尊者舍梨子與生地諸比丘于王舍城共住少日,攝衣持缽,向舍衛國,展轉進前,至舍衛國,共住勝林給孤獨園。
是時,尊者滿慈子于生地受夏坐訖,過三月已,補治衣竟,攝衣持缽,從生地出,向舍衛國,展轉進前,至舍衛國,亦住勝林給孤獨園。尊者滿慈子詣世尊所,稽首作禮,于如來前敷尼師檀,結加趺坐。
時,尊者舍梨子問余比丘:「諸賢!何者是賢者滿慈子耶?」
諸比丘白尊者舍梨子:「唯然,尊者在如來前坐,白晰隆鼻,如鸚鵡𠿘,即其人也。」
時,尊者舍梨子知滿慈子色貌已,則善記念。
尊者滿慈子過夜平旦,著衣持缽,入舍衛國而行乞食,食訖中后,還舉衣缽,澡洗手足,以尼師檀著于肩上,至安陀林經行之處。尊者舍梨子亦過夜平旦,著衣持缽,入舍衛國而行乞食,食訖中后,還舉衣缽,澡洗手足,以尼師檀著于肩上,至安陀林經行之處。
時,尊者滿慈子到安陀林,於一樹下敷尼師檀,結加趺坐。尊者舍梨子亦至安陀林,離滿慈子不遠,於一樹下敷尼師檀,結加趺坐
現代漢語譯本:當時,世尊在王舍城結束了夏季安居,過了三個月后,修補好衣服,收拾好衣缽,從王舍城出發,前往舍衛國,一路前行,到達舍衛國,就住在勝林給孤獨園。尊者舍利弗與當地的比丘在王舍城共同住了些日子,收拾好衣缽,前往舍衛國,一路前行,到達舍衛國,一同住在勝林給孤獨園。 當時,尊者滿慈子在當地結束了夏季安居,過了三個月后,修補好衣服,收拾好衣缽,從當地出發,前往舍衛國,一路前行,到達舍衛國,也住在勝林給孤獨園。尊者滿慈子前往世尊所在之處,頂禮問候,在如來面前鋪好坐具,結跏趺坐。 這時,尊者舍利弗問其他比丘:『諸位賢者!哪位是賢者滿慈子呢?』 眾比丘告訴尊者舍利弗:『是的,尊者,坐在如來面前,面板白皙,鼻子高挺,像鸚鵡喙的那位,就是他。』 這時,尊者舍利弗瞭解了滿慈子的外貌后,就牢記在心。 尊者滿慈子第二天清晨,穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛國乞食,吃完飯後,收好衣缽,洗手洗腳,把坐具搭在肩上,前往安陀林經行的地方。尊者舍利弗也在第二天清晨,穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛國乞食,吃完飯後,收好衣缽,洗手洗腳,把坐具搭在肩上,前往安陀林經行的地方。 當時,尊者滿慈子到達安陀林,在一棵樹下鋪好坐具,結跏趺坐。尊者舍利弗也到達安陀林,在離滿慈子不遠的地方,在一棵樹下鋪好坐具,結跏趺坐。
English version: At that time, the World Honored One, having completed the summer retreat in Rajagriha, after three months had passed, having mended his robes, collected his robes and bowl, departed from Rajagriha, and headed towards Shravasti. Progressing gradually, he arrived at Shravasti and resided in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Venerable Shariputra, along with the local monks, having stayed in Rajagriha for a few days, collected their robes and bowls, headed towards Shravasti, progressing gradually, arrived at Shravasti, and resided together in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra, having completed the summer retreat in his locality, after three months had passed, having mended his robes, collected his robes and bowl, departed from his locality, and headed towards Shravasti. Progressing gradually, he arrived at Shravasti, and also resided in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra went to where the World Honored One was, bowed his head in reverence, spread his sitting cloth before the Tathagata, and sat in the lotus position. Then, Venerable Shariputra asked the other monks, 'Friends, who is the venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra?' The monks replied to Venerable Shariputra, 'Yes, venerable, the one sitting before the Tathagata, with fair skin, a prominent nose, like a parrot's beak, that is him.' Then, Venerable Shariputra, having recognized Purna Maitrayaniputra's appearance, kept it well in mind. Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra, the next morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered Shravasti to beg for alms. After eating, he collected his robes and bowl, washed his hands and feet, placed his sitting cloth on his shoulder, and went to the walking path in Andhavana. Venerable Shariputra also, the next morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered Shravasti to beg for alms. After eating, he collected his robes and bowl, washed his hands and feet, placed his sitting cloth on his shoulder, and went to the walking path in Andhavana. At that time, Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra arrived at Andhavana, spread his sitting cloth under a tree, and sat in the lotus position. Venerable Shariputra also arrived at Andhavana, not far from Purna Maitrayaniputra, spread his sitting cloth under a tree, and sat in the lotus position.
尊者舍梨子則于晡時從燕坐起,往詣尊者滿慈子所,共相問訊,卻坐一面,則問尊者滿慈子曰:「賢者!從沙門瞿曇修梵行耶?」
答曰:「如是。」
「云何?賢者!以戒凈故,從沙門瞿曇修梵行耶?」
答曰:「不也。」
「以心凈故、以見凈故、以疑蓋凈故、以道非道知見凈故、以道跡知見凈故、以道跡斷智凈故,從沙門瞿曇修梵行耶?」
又復問曰:「我向問賢者從沙門瞿曇修梵行耶?則言如是。今問賢者以戒凈故從沙門瞿曇修梵行耶?便言不也。以心凈故、以見凈故、以疑蓋凈故、以道非道知見凈故、以道跡知見凈故、以道跡斷智凈故,從沙門瞿曇修梵行耶?便言不也。然以何義,從沙門瞿曇修梵行耶?」
答曰:「賢者!以無餘涅槃故。」
又復問曰:「云何?賢者!以戒凈故,沙門瞿曇施設無餘涅槃耶?」
「以心凈故、以見凈故、以疑蓋凈故、以道非道知見凈故、以道跡知見凈故、以道跡斷智凈故,沙門瞿曇施設無餘涅槃耶?」
又復問曰:「我向問仁,云何賢者以戒凈故,沙門瞿曇施設無餘涅槃耶?賢者言不
尊者舍利子在傍晚時分從禪定中起身,前往尊者滿慈子處,互相問候后,在一旁坐下,然後問尊者滿慈子:『賢者,你是在沙門瞿曇那裡修習梵行嗎?』 回答說:『是的。』 『那麼,賢者,你是因為戒律清凈,才在沙門瞿曇那裡修習梵行嗎?』 回答說:『不是的。』 『是因為心清凈、見解清凈、疑惑消除、對道與非道的知見清凈、對道跡的知見清凈、對道跡斷除的智慧清凈,才在沙門瞿曇那裡修習梵行嗎?』 又問:『我剛才問你是否在沙門瞿曇那裡修習梵行,你說是的。現在問你是否因為戒律清凈才在沙門瞿曇那裡修習梵行,你卻說不是。又問你是否因為心清凈、見解清凈、疑惑消除、對道與非道的知見清凈、對道跡的知見清凈、對道跡斷除的智慧清凈,才在沙門瞿曇那裡修習梵行,你卻說不是。那麼,你究竟是因何在沙門瞿曇那裡修習梵行呢?』 回答說:『賢者,是爲了無餘涅槃。』 又問:『那麼,賢者,沙門瞿曇是因為戒律清凈,才設立無餘涅槃的嗎?』 『是因為心清凈、見解清凈、疑惑消除、對道與非道的知見清凈、對道跡的知見清凈、對道跡斷除的智慧清凈,沙門瞿曇才設立無餘涅槃的嗎?』 又問:『我剛才問你,賢者,沙門瞿曇是否因為戒律清凈才設立無餘涅槃,你說不是。』
Venerable Sariputta, in the late afternoon, arose from his meditation and went to Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra. After exchanging greetings, he sat down to one side and asked Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra, 'Friend, do you practice the holy life under the ascetic Gautama?' He replied, 'Yes, I do.' 'Then, friend, is it because of purity of conduct that you practice the holy life under the ascetic Gautama?' He replied, 'No, it is not.' 'Is it because of purity of mind, purity of view, purity from doubt, purity of knowledge of the path and non-path, purity of knowledge of the path's traces, or purity of the wisdom of the path's cessation that you practice the holy life under the ascetic Gautama?' Then he asked again, 'I asked you earlier if you practice the holy life under the ascetic Gautama, and you said yes. Now I ask if it is because of purity of conduct that you practice the holy life under the ascetic Gautama, and you say no. And I ask if it is because of purity of mind, purity of view, purity from doubt, purity of knowledge of the path and non-path, purity of knowledge of the path's traces, or purity of the wisdom of the path's cessation that you practice the holy life under the ascetic Gautama, and you say no. Then, for what reason do you practice the holy life under the ascetic Gautama?' He replied, 'Friend, it is for the sake of the remainderless Nirvana.' Then he asked again, 'Then, friend, is it because of purity of conduct that the ascetic Gautama establishes the remainderless Nirvana?' 'Is it because of purity of mind, purity of view, purity from doubt, purity of knowledge of the path and non-path, purity of knowledge of the path's traces, or purity of the wisdom of the path's cessation that the ascetic Gautama establishes the remainderless Nirvana?' Then he asked again, 'I asked you earlier, friend, if it is because of purity of conduct that the ascetic Gautama establishes the remainderless Nirvana, and you said no.'
。以心凈故、以見凈故、以疑蓋凈故、以道非道知見凈故、以道跡知見凈故、以道跡斷智凈故,沙門瞿曇施設無餘涅槃耶?賢者言不。賢者所說為是何義?云何得知?」
答曰:「賢者!若以戒凈故,世尊沙門瞿曇施設無餘涅槃者,則以有餘稱說無餘;以心凈故、以見凈故、以疑蓋凈故、以道非道知見凈故、以道跡知見凈故、以道跡斷智凈故,世尊沙門瞿曇施設無餘涅槃者,則以有餘稱說無餘。賢者!若離此法,世尊施設無餘涅槃者,則凡夫亦當般涅槃,以凡夫亦離此法故。賢者!但以戒凈故,得心凈,以心凈故,得見凈,以見凈故,得疑蓋凈,以疑蓋凈故,得道非道知見凈,以道非道知見凈故,得道跡知見凈,以道跡知見凈故,得道跡斷智凈,以道跡斷智凈故,世尊沙門瞿曇施設無餘涅槃也。
「賢者!復聽。昔拘薩羅王波斯匿在舍衛國,于婆雞帝有事,彼作是念:『以何方便,令一日行,從舍衛國至婆雞帝耶?』復作是念:『我今寧可從舍衛國至婆雞帝,于其中間佈置七車。』爾時,即從舍衛國至婆雞帝,于其中間佈置七車
現代漢語譯本:'是因為心清凈的緣故,因為見解清凈的緣故,因為疑惑的覆蓋清凈的緣故,因為對道與非道的知見清凈的緣故,因為對道跡的知見清凈的緣故,因為對道跡斷除的智慧清凈的緣故,沙門瞿曇才施設無餘涅槃嗎?'賢者回答說:'不是。'賢者所說的意義是什麼?如何得知?' 回答說:'賢者!如果因為戒律清凈的緣故,世尊沙門瞿曇才施設無餘涅槃,那麼就是以有餘來稱說無餘;如果因為心清凈的緣故,因為見解清凈的緣故,因為疑惑的覆蓋清凈的緣故,因為對道與非道的知見清凈的緣故,因為對道跡的知見清凈的緣故,因為對道跡斷除的智慧清凈的緣故,世尊沙門瞿曇才施設無餘涅槃,那麼就是以有餘來稱說無餘。賢者!如果離開這些法,世尊才施設無餘涅槃,那麼凡夫也應當般涅槃,因為凡夫也離開了這些法。賢者!只是因為戒律清凈的緣故,才能得到心清凈;因為心清凈的緣故,才能得到見解清凈;因為見解清凈的緣故,才能得到疑惑的覆蓋清凈;因為疑惑的覆蓋清凈的緣故,才能得到對道與非道的知見清凈;因為對道與非道的知見清凈的緣故,才能得到對道跡的知見清凈;因為對道跡的知見清凈的緣故,才能得到對道跡斷除的智慧清凈;因為對道跡斷除的智慧清凈的緣故,世尊沙門瞿曇才施設無餘涅槃。' 賢者!再聽。過去拘薩羅國王波斯匿在舍衛國,在婆雞帝有事,他這樣想:『用什麼方法,能使一天之內從舍衛國到達婆雞帝呢?』又這樣想:『我現在寧可從舍衛國到婆雞帝,在其中間佈置七輛車。』當時,就從舍衛國到婆雞帝,在其中間佈置了七輛車。
English version: 'Is it because of purity of mind, because of purity of view, because of purity from the covering of doubt, because of purity of knowledge of the path and non-path, because of purity of knowledge of the path-traces, because of purity of the wisdom of the cessation of path-traces, that the ascetic Gautama teaches the remainderless Nirvana?' The worthy one said, 'No.' What is the meaning of what the worthy one has said? How is it known?' The answer was: 'Worthy one! If it were because of purity of precepts that the World-Honored One, the ascetic Gautama, taught the remainderless Nirvana, then it would be speaking of the remainderless with the remainder; if it were because of purity of mind, because of purity of view, because of purity from the covering of doubt, because of purity of knowledge of the path and non-path, because of purity of knowledge of the path-traces, because of purity of the wisdom of the cessation of path-traces, that the World-Honored One, the ascetic Gautama, taught the remainderless Nirvana, then it would be speaking of the remainderless with the remainder. Worthy one! If the World-Honored One taught the remainderless Nirvana apart from these dharmas, then ordinary people would also attain Nirvana, because ordinary people are also apart from these dharmas. Worthy one! It is only because of the purity of precepts that one attains purity of mind; because of purity of mind, one attains purity of view; because of purity of view, one attains purity from the covering of doubt; because of purity from the covering of doubt, one attains purity of knowledge of the path and non-path; because of purity of knowledge of the path and non-path, one attains purity of knowledge of the path-traces; because of purity of knowledge of the path-traces, one attains purity of the wisdom of the cessation of path-traces; because of purity of the wisdom of the cessation of path-traces, that the World-Honored One, the ascetic Gautama, teaches the remainderless Nirvana.' 'Worthy one! Listen again. In the past, King Pasenadi of Kosala was in Savatthi, and had business in Bakiti. He thought, 'By what means can I travel from Savatthi to Bakiti in one day?' He then thought, 'I would rather travel from Savatthi to Bakiti, and arrange seven chariots in between.' At that time, he traveled from Savatthi to Bakiti, and arranged seven chariots in between.

「彼于婆雞帝辦其事已,大臣圍繞,坐王正殿,群臣白曰:『云何,天王!以一日行從舍衛國至婆雞帝耶?』王曰:『如是。』『云何天王,乘第一車一日從舍衛國至婆雞帝耶?』王曰:『不也。』『乘第二車乘第三車至第七車,從舍衛國至婆雞帝耶?』王曰:『不也。』云何賢者!拘薩羅王波斯匿群臣復問,當云何說?
「王答群臣:『我在舍衛國,于婆雞帝有事,我作是念:「以何方便,令一日行,從舍衛國至婆雞帝耶?」我復作是念:「我今寧可從舍衛國至婆雞帝,于其中間佈置七車。」我時即從舍衛國至婆雞帝,于其中間佈置七車。布七車已,從舍衛國出,至初車,乘初車,至第二車,舍初車,乘第二車,至第三車,舍第二車,乘第三車,至第四車,舍第三車,乘第四車,至第五車,舍第四車,乘第五車,至第六車,舍第五車,乘第六車,至第七車,乘第七車,於一日中至婆雞帝

The king arranged seven chariots. He departed from Savatthi, reached the first chariot, rode the first chariot, reached the second chariot, abandoned the first chariot, rode the second chariot, reached the third chariot, abandoned the second chariot, rode the third chariot, reached the fourth chariot, abandoned the third chariot, rode the fourth chariot, reached the fifth chariot, abandoned the fourth chariot, rode the fifth chariot, reached the sixth chariot, abandoned the fifth chariot, rode the sixth chariot, reached the seventh chariot, and rode the seventh chariot, arriving at Bhaggavati in one day. After he had completed his business in Bhaggavati, the ministers surrounded him, and they sat in the royal palace. The ministers reported, 'Your Majesty, how did you travel from Savatthi to Bhaggavati in one day?' The king said, 'It is so.' 'Your Majesty, did you travel from Savatthi to Bhaggavati in one day by riding the first chariot?' The king said, 'No.' 'Did you travel from Savatthi to Bhaggavati by riding the second chariot, the third chariot, up to the seventh chariot?' The king said, 'No.' Wise one, how should the ministers of King Pasenadi of Kosala answer when they ask again? The king answered the ministers, 'I was in Savatthi, and I had business in Bhaggavati. I thought, "What method can I use to travel from Savatthi to Bhaggavati in one day?" Then I thought, "I might as well travel from Savatthi to Bhaggavati, arranging seven chariots in between." At that time, I traveled from Savatthi to Bhaggavati, arranging seven chariots in between. After arranging the seven chariots, I departed from Savatthi, reached the first chariot, rode the first chariot, reached the second chariot, abandoned the first chariot, rode the second chariot, reached the third chariot, abandoned the second chariot, rode the third chariot, reached the fourth chariot, abandoned the third chariot, rode the fourth chariot, reached the fifth chariot, abandoned the fourth chariot, rode the fifth chariot, reached the sixth chariot, abandoned the fifth chariot, rode the sixth chariot, reached the seventh chariot, and rode the seventh chariot, arriving at Bhaggavati in one day.'

「如是,賢者!拘薩羅王波斯匿答對群臣所問如是。如是,賢者!以戒凈故,得心凈,以心凈故,得見凈,以見凈故,得疑蓋凈,以疑蓋凈故,得道非道知見凈,以道非道知見凈故,得道跡知見凈,以道跡知見凈故,得道跡斷智凈,以道跡斷智凈故,世尊施設無餘涅槃。」
於是,尊者舍梨子問尊者滿慈子:「賢者名何等?諸梵行人云何稱賢者耶?」
尊者滿慈子答曰:「賢者!我號滿也。我母名慈,故諸梵行人稱我為滿慈子。」
尊者舍梨子嘆曰:「善哉,善哉!賢者滿慈子,為如來弟子,所作智辯聰明決定,安隱無畏,成就調御,逮大辯才,得甘露幢,于甘露界自作證成就游,以問賢者甚深義盡能報故。賢者滿慈子!諸梵行人為得大利,得值賢者滿慈子,隨時往見,隨時禮拜,我今亦得大利,隨時往見,隨時禮拜。諸梵行人應當縈衣頂上戴賢者滿慈子,為得大利,我今亦得大利,隨時往見,隨時禮拜。」
尊者滿慈子問尊者舍梨子:「賢者名何等,諸梵行人云何稱賢者耶?」
尊者舍梨子答曰:「賢者!我字優波鞮舍,我母名舍梨,故諸梵行人稱我為舍梨子
『是的,賢者!』拘薩羅國王波斯匿這樣回答他的大臣們的問題。『是的,賢者!因為戒律清凈,所以心得以清凈;因為心清凈,所以見解得以清凈;因為見解清凈,所以疑惑得以消除;因為疑惑消除,所以能分辨道與非道的知見得以清凈;因為能分辨道與非道的知見清凈,所以能瞭解修行道路的知見得以清凈;因爲了解修行道路的知見清凈,所以能斷除修行道路的智慧得以清凈;因為能斷除修行道路的智慧清凈,所以世尊才宣說了無餘涅槃。』 於是,尊者舍利弗問尊者滿慈子:『賢者,您叫什麼名字?修行的人們如何稱呼您呢?』 尊者滿慈子回答說:『賢者,我名叫滿。我母親名叫慈,所以修行的人們稱我為滿慈子。』 尊者舍利弗讚歎道:『太好了,太好了!賢者滿慈子,作為如來的弟子,所展現的智慧、辯才、聰明、決斷,都安穩無畏,成就調御,獲得大辯才,得到甘露的旗幟,在甘露的境界中親自證悟並自在遊歷,因為能回答我提出的甚深問題。賢者滿慈子!修行的人們真是獲得了大利益,能夠遇到賢者滿慈子,隨時前往拜見,隨時禮拜。我現在也獲得了大利益,隨時前往拜見,隨時禮拜。修行的人們應當將賢者滿慈子頂戴在頭上,爲了獲得大利益,我現在也獲得了大利益,隨時前往拜見,隨時禮拜。』 尊者滿慈子問尊者舍利弗:『賢者,您叫什麼名字?修行的人們如何稱呼您呢?』 尊者舍利弗回答說:『賢者,我的名字叫優波提舍,我母親名叫舍利,所以修行的人們稱我為舍利子。』
'Yes, venerable one!' King Pasenadi of Kosala answered his ministers' questions in this way. 'Yes, venerable one! Because of purity of precepts, the mind becomes pure; because of purity of mind, the view becomes pure; because of purity of view, doubt is eliminated; because doubt is eliminated, the knowledge of what is the path and what is not the path becomes pure; because the knowledge of what is the path and what is not the path is pure, the knowledge of the path of practice becomes pure; because the knowledge of the path of practice is pure, the wisdom to cut off the path of practice becomes pure; because the wisdom to cut off the path of practice is pure, the World Honored One has established the Nirvana without remainder.' Then, Venerable Sariputta asked Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra: 'Venerable one, what is your name? How do the Brahmacharis address you?' Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra replied: 'Venerable one, my name is Purna. My mother's name is Maitri, so the Brahmacharis call me Purna Maitrayaniputra.' Venerable Sariputta exclaimed: 'Excellent, excellent! Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra, as a disciple of the Tathagata, your wisdom, eloquence, intelligence, and decisiveness are all secure and fearless, you have achieved self-control, attained great eloquence, obtained the banner of nectar, and personally realized and freely roam in the realm of nectar, because you can answer the profound questions I have asked. Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra! The Brahmacharis have truly gained great benefit by encountering Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra, visiting and paying respects at any time. I have also gained great benefit, visiting and paying respects at any time. The Brahmacharis should carry Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra on their heads, for the sake of gaining great benefit. I have also gained great benefit, visiting and paying respects at any time.' Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra asked Venerable Sariputta: 'Venerable one, what is your name? How do the Brahmacharis address you?' Venerable Sariputta replied: 'Venerable one, my given name is Upatissa, and my mother's name is Sari, so the Brahmacharis call me Sariputta.'
尊者滿慈子嘆曰:「我今與世尊弟子共論而不知,第二尊共論而不知,法將共論而不知,轉法輪復轉弟子共論而不知。若我知尊者舍梨子者,不能答一句,況復爾所深論?善哉,善哉!尊者舍梨子!為如來弟子,所作智辯聰明決定,安隱無畏、成就調御、逮大辯才、得甘露幢,于甘露界自作證成就游,以尊者甚深甚深問故。尊者舍梨子!諸梵行人為得大利,得值尊者舍梨子,隨時往見,隨時禮拜,我今亦得大利,隨時往見,隨時禮拜。諸梵行人應當縈衣頂上戴尊者舍梨子,為得大利,我今亦得大利,隨時往見,隨時禮拜。」
如是二賢更相稱說,更相贊善已,歡喜奉行,即從坐起,各還所止。
七車經第九竟(二千五百八字)
(一〇)中阿含七法品漏盡經第十(初一日誦)
一時,佛游拘樓瘦,在劍磨瑟曇拘樓都邑。
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「以知、以見故諸漏得盡,非不知、非不見也。云何以知、以見故諸漏得盡耶?有正思惟、不正思惟,若不正思惟者,未生欲漏而生,已生便增廣,未生有漏、無明漏而生,已生便增廣;若正思惟者,未生欲漏而不生,已生便滅,未生有漏、無明漏而不生,已生便滅
尊者滿慈子嘆息道:『我如今與世尊的弟子辯論卻一無所知,與第二尊者辯論也一無所知,與法將辯論也一無所知,與轉法輪的弟子辯論也一無所知。如果我瞭解尊者舍利子,恐怕連一句都答不上來,更何況是如此深奧的論題?太好了,太好了!尊者舍利子!作為如來的弟子,所具備的智慧、辯才、聰明、決斷,安穩無畏、成就調御、獲得大辯才、得到甘露幢,在甘露境界中自我證悟併成就遊歷,都是因為尊者提出的問題非常深奧。尊者舍利子!所有修行梵行的人都應該感到非常幸運,能夠遇到尊者舍利子,隨時前往拜見,隨時禮拜,我如今也感到非常幸運,能夠隨時前往拜見,隨時禮拜。所有修行梵行的人都應該將尊者舍利子視為珍寶,頂戴在頭上,因為這是非常幸運的事情,我如今也感到非常幸運,能夠隨時前往拜見,隨時禮拜。』 就這樣,兩位賢者互相稱讚,互相讚美之後,歡喜地接受教誨,隨即從座位上起身,各自返回自己的住所。 《七車經》第九完(二千五百八字) (一〇)《中阿含經》七法品《漏盡經》第十(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在拘樓瘦游化,住在劍磨瑟曇拘樓都邑。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『因為知道、因為看見,所以各種煩惱才能斷盡,不是因為不知道、不是因為看不見。那麼,如何因為知道、因為看見,所以各種煩惱才能斷盡呢?有正確的思考,也有不正確的思考。如果是不正確的思考,那麼未生的慾望煩惱就會產生,已生的就會增長;未生的有煩惱、無明煩惱就會產生,已生的就會增長。如果是正確的思考,那麼未生的慾望煩惱就不會產生,已生的就會滅除;未生的有煩惱、無明煩惱就不會產生,已生的就會滅除。』
The Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra sighed and said, 'Now I have discussed with the World Honored One's disciples and know nothing, discussed with the second Venerable and know nothing, discussed with the Dharma General and know nothing, discussed with the disciples who turn the Dharma wheel and know nothing. If I knew the Venerable Shariputra, I would not be able to answer a single sentence, let alone such profound discussions? Excellent, excellent! Venerable Shariputra! As a disciple of the Tathagata, your wisdom, eloquence, intelligence, decisiveness, peace, fearlessness, accomplishment in taming, attainment of great eloquence, obtaining the banner of nectar, self-realization and accomplishment in the realm of nectar, are all due to the very profound questions you ask. Venerable Shariputra! All those who practice the Brahma-faring should feel very fortunate to meet Venerable Shariputra, to visit him at any time, and to pay homage at any time. I also feel very fortunate to visit him at any time and to pay homage at any time. All those who practice the Brahma-faring should cherish Venerable Shariputra as a treasure, wearing him on their heads, for this is a very fortunate thing. I also feel very fortunate to visit him at any time and to pay homage at any time.' Thus, the two sages praised each other, and after praising each other, they joyfully accepted the teachings, and then rose from their seats and returned to their respective dwellings. The Ninth Sutra of the Seven Chariots is completed (2508 words) (10) The Tenth Sutra on the Exhaustion of Defilements from the Seven Dharma Section of the Middle Agama Sutra (Recited on the first day) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Kuru, residing in the city of Kammasadhamma in Kuru. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'It is because of knowing and seeing that the defilements are exhausted, not because of not knowing and not seeing. So, how is it that because of knowing and seeing, the defilements are exhausted? There is right thinking and wrong thinking. If it is wrong thinking, then the defilements of desire that have not arisen will arise, and those that have arisen will increase; the defilements of existence and ignorance that have not arisen will arise, and those that have arisen will increase. If it is right thinking, then the defilements of desire that have not arisen will not arise, and those that have arisen will cease; the defilements of existence and ignorance that have not arisen will not arise, and those that have arisen will cease.'

『然而,凡夫俗子愚昧無知,不能聽聞真正的佛法,不能遇到真正的善知識,不瞭解神聖的佛法,不能調伏神聖的佛法,不瞭解如實的真理。不正思惟的人,未生起的慾望之漏就會生起,已生起的就會增長;未生起的有漏、無明之漏就會生起,已生起的就會增長。正思惟的人,未生起的慾望之漏就不會生起,已生起的就會滅除;未生起的有漏、無明之漏就不會生起,已生起的就會滅除。因為不瞭解如實的真理,所以不應該思念的法卻思念,應該思念的法卻不思念。因為思念不應該思念的法,不思念應該思念的法,所以未生起的慾望之漏就會生起,已生起的就會增長;未生起的有漏、無明之漏就會生起,已生起的就會增長。』 『多聞的聖弟子能夠聽聞真正的佛法,遇到真正的善知識,調伏神聖的佛法,瞭解如實的真理。不正思惟的人,未生起的慾望之漏就會生起,已生起的就會增長;未生起的有漏、無明之漏就會生起,已生起的就會增長。正思惟的人,未生起的慾望之漏就不會生起,已生起的就會滅除;未生起的有漏、無明之漏就不會生起,已生起的就會滅除。瞭解如實的真理后,不應該思念的法就不思念,應該思念的法就思念。因為不思念不應該思念的法,思念應該思念的法,所以未生起的慾望之漏就不會生起,已生起的就會滅除;未生起的有漏、無明之漏就不會生起,已生起的就會滅除。』 『有七種斷除煩惱、憂愁的方法。哪七種呢?有漏從見斷除,有漏從防護斷除,有漏從遠離斷除,有漏從受用斷除,有漏從忍耐斷除,有漏從去除斷除,有漏從思惟斷除。』
'However, ordinary foolish people cannot hear the true Dharma, cannot encounter true wise teachers, do not understand the sacred Dharma, cannot subdue the sacred Dharma, and do not understand the truth as it is. Those who think incorrectly will have unarisen desires leak arise, and those that have arisen will increase; unarisen outflows of existence and ignorance will arise, and those that have arisen will increase. Those who think correctly will not have unarisen desires leak arise, and those that have arisen will cease; unarisen outflows of existence and ignorance will not arise, and those that have arisen will cease. Because they do not understand the truth as it is, they contemplate what should not be contemplated and do not contemplate what should be contemplated. Because they contemplate what should not be contemplated and do not contemplate what should be contemplated, unarisen desires leak arise, and those that have arisen will increase; unarisen outflows of existence and ignorance will arise, and those that have arisen will increase.' 'Well-learned noble disciples can hear the true Dharma, encounter true wise teachers, subdue the sacred Dharma, and understand the truth as it is. Those who think incorrectly will have unarisen desires leak arise, and those that have arisen will increase; unarisen outflows of existence and ignorance will arise, and those that have arisen will increase. Those who think correctly will not have unarisen desires leak arise, and those that have arisen will cease; unarisen outflows of existence and ignorance will not arise, and those that have arisen will cease. Having understood the truth as it is, they do not contemplate what should not be contemplated, and they contemplate what should be contemplated. Because they do not contemplate what should not be contemplated and contemplate what should be contemplated, unarisen desires leak will not arise, and those that have arisen will cease; unarisen outflows of existence and ignorance will not arise, and those that have arisen will cease.' 'There are seven methods for cutting off outflows, afflictions, and sorrows. What are the seven? Outflows are cut off through seeing, outflows are cut off through guarding, outflows are cut off through distancing, outflows are cut off through using, outflows are cut off through enduring, outflows are cut off through eliminating, and outflows are cut off through contemplation.'
「云何有漏從見斷耶?凡夫愚人不得聞正法,不值真知識,不知聖法,不調御聖法,不知如真法,不正思惟故,便作是念:『我有過去世,我無過去世,我何因過去世,我云何過去世耶?我有未來世,我無未來世,我何因未來世,我云何未來世耶?自疑己身何謂是,云何是耶?今此眾生從何所來,當至何所?本何因有,當何因有?』彼作如是不正思惟,於六見中隨其見生而生真有神,此見生而生真無神,此見生而生神見神,此見生而生神見非神,此見生而生非神見神,此見生而生此是神,能語、能知、能作、教、作起、教起,生彼彼處,受善惡報,定無所從來,定不有、定不當有,是謂見之弊,為見所動,見結所繫。凡夫愚人以是之故,便受生、老、病、死苦也。
「多聞聖弟子得聞正法,值真知識,調御聖法,知如真法,知苦如真,知苦習、知苦滅、知苦滅道如真。如是知如真已,則三結盡,身見、戒取、疑三結盡已,得須陀洹,不墮惡法,定趣正覺,極受七有,天上人間七往來已,便得苦際;若不知見者,則生煩惱、憂戚,知見則不生煩惱、憂戚,是謂有漏從見斷也。
「云何有漏從護斷耶?比丘!眼見色護眼根者,以正思惟不凈觀也,不護眼根者,不正思惟以凈觀也
『如何通過見解斷除有漏呢?』凡夫愚人不能聽聞正法,不遇到真正的善知識,不瞭解聖法,不修習聖法,不瞭解如實之法,因為不正思惟,便會產生這樣的想法:『我是否有過去世?我是否沒有過去世?我因何有過去世?我如何經歷過去世?我是否有未來世?我是否沒有未來世?我因何有未來世?我如何經歷未來世?』他們會懷疑自己是什麼,如何存在?『現在的眾生從哪裡來,將要到哪裡去?最初因何而有,將來又將因何而有?』他們進行這樣不正的思惟,在六種邪見中,隨著某種邪見的產生而認為真有神,隨著某種邪見的產生而認為真無神,隨著某種邪見的產生而認為神能看見神,隨著某種邪見的產生而認為神能看見非神,隨著某種邪見的產生而認為非神能看見神,隨著某種邪見的產生而認為『這就是神,能說話、能知曉、能行動、能教導、能發起、能被髮起,在各個地方出生,承受善惡報應,必定無所從來,必定不存在,必定不會存在』,這就是見解的弊端,被見解所動搖,被見解的束縛所繫。凡夫愚人因為這些原因,便會遭受生、老、病、死的痛苦。 『多聞的聖弟子能夠聽聞正法,遇到真正的善知識,修習聖法,瞭解如實之法,如實地瞭解苦,瞭解苦的生起,瞭解苦的滅盡,瞭解通向苦滅的道路。』這樣如實地瞭解之後,就會斷除三種結縛,即身見、戒禁取見和疑。這三種結縛斷除后,便證得須陀洹果,不會墮入惡道,必定趨向正覺,最多經歷七次生死,在天上人間往返七次之後,便能達到苦的盡頭;如果不能如實地瞭解,就會產生煩惱和憂愁,如果能夠如實地瞭解,就不會產生煩惱和憂愁,這就是通過見解斷除有漏。 『如何通過防護斷除有漏呢?』比丘!如果眼睛看到顏色時能夠防護眼根,就是以正思惟進行不凈觀;如果不能防護眼根,就是以不正思惟進行凈觀。
'How is defilement cut off by view?' The foolish ordinary person does not hear the true Dharma, does not encounter true wise teachers, does not understand the holy Dharma, does not practice the holy Dharma, does not understand the true nature of things, and because of incorrect thinking, they think: 'Did I have a past life? Did I not have a past life? What caused my past life? How did I experience my past life? Do I have a future life? Do I not have a future life? What caused my future life? How will I experience my future life?' They doubt what they are, and how they exist. 'Where do these beings come from, and where will they go? What was the original cause, and what will be the future cause?' They engage in such incorrect thinking, and among the six wrong views, with the arising of a certain view, they believe there is a real soul; with the arising of a certain view, they believe there is no real soul; with the arising of a certain view, they believe a soul can see a soul; with the arising of a certain view, they believe a soul can see a non-soul; with the arising of a certain view, they believe a non-soul can see a soul; with the arising of a certain view, they believe 'this is a soul, which can speak, know, act, teach, initiate, and be initiated, born in various places, receiving good and bad karmic results, definitely coming from nowhere, definitely not existing, and definitely not going to exist.' This is the fault of view, being shaken by view, and bound by the fetters of view. Because of these reasons, the foolish ordinary person suffers the pain of birth, old age, sickness, and death. 'The well-learned noble disciple is able to hear the true Dharma, encounter true wise teachers, practice the holy Dharma, understand the true nature of things, truly understand suffering, understand the arising of suffering, understand the cessation of suffering, and understand the path leading to the cessation of suffering.' Having understood this truly, they will have cut off the three fetters, namely, self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, and doubt. Having cut off these three fetters, they attain the stream-enterer stage, will not fall into evil realms, are definitely headed towards enlightenment, and after experiencing a maximum of seven lives, going back and forth between heaven and the human realm seven times, they will reach the end of suffering. If they do not understand truly, they will generate afflictions and sorrow; if they understand truly, they will not generate afflictions and sorrow. This is how defilement is cut off by view. 'How is defilement cut off by guarding?' Monks! If, when the eye sees a form, one guards the eye faculty, it is through correct thinking and contemplating the impure; if one does not guard the eye faculty, it is through incorrect thinking and contemplating the pure.
。若不護者,則生煩惱、憂戚,護則不生煩惱、憂戚。如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意知法,護意根者,以正思惟不凈觀也,不護意根者,不正思惟以凈觀也。若不護者,則生煩惱、憂戚,護則不生煩惱、憂戚,是謂有漏從護斷也。
「云何有漏從離斷耶?比丘!見惡象則當遠離,惡馬、惡牛、惡狗、毒蛇、惡道、溝坑、屏廁、江河、深泉、山巖。惡知識、惡朋友、惡異道、惡閭里、惡居止,若諸梵行與其同處,人無疑者而使有疑,比丘者應當離。惡知識、惡朋友、惡異道、惡閭里、惡居止,若諸梵行與其同處,人無疑者而使有疑,盡當遠離。若不離者,則生煩惱、憂戚,離則不生煩惱、憂戚,是謂有漏從離斷也。
「云何有漏從用斷耶?比丘!若用衣服,非為利故,非以貢高故,非為嚴飾故,但為蚊虻、風雨、寒熱故,以慚愧故也。若用飲食,非為利故,非以貢高故,非為肥悅故,但為令身久住,除煩惱、憂戚故,以行梵行故,欲令故病斷,新病不生故,久住安隱無病故也。若用居止房舍、床褥、臥具,非為利故,非以貢高故,非為嚴飾故,但為疲惓得止息故,得靜坐故也。若用湯藥,非為利故,非以貢高故,非為肥悅故,但為除病惱故,攝御命根故,安隱無病故
現代漢語譯本:如果不對其加以守護,就會產生煩惱和憂愁;如果守護它,就不會產生煩惱和憂愁。就像眼睛、耳朵、舌頭、身體、意識感知事物一樣,守護意根的人,會以正確的思考方式進行不凈觀;不守護意根的人,會以不正確的思考方式進行凈觀。如果不對其加以守護,就會產生煩惱和憂愁;如果守護它,就不會產生煩惱和憂愁,這就是所謂的通過守護來斷除煩惱的途徑。 現代漢語譯本:『如何通過遠離來斷除煩惱呢?』比丘們,看到兇猛的象就應當遠離,兇猛的馬、兇猛的牛、兇猛的狗、毒蛇、險惡的道路、溝渠、廁所、江河、深淵、山崖。惡劣的知識、惡劣的朋友、邪惡的異端、惡劣的鄰里、惡劣的住所,如果修行者與他們同處,會使原本沒有疑惑的人產生疑惑,比丘應當遠離。惡劣的知識、惡劣的朋友、邪惡的異端、惡劣的鄰里、惡劣的住所,如果修行者與他們同處,會使原本沒有疑惑的人產生疑惑,都應當遠離。如果不遠離,就會產生煩惱和憂愁;如果遠離,就不會產生煩惱和憂愁,這就是所謂的通過遠離來斷除煩惱的途徑。 現代漢語譯本:『如何通過正確使用來斷除煩惱呢?』比丘們,如果使用衣服,不是爲了利益,不是爲了驕傲自大,不是爲了裝飾,只是爲了遮擋蚊蟲、風雨、寒冷和炎熱,是爲了感到慚愧。如果使用食物,不是爲了利益,不是爲了驕傲自大,不是爲了使身體肥胖,只是爲了使身體能夠長久存在,爲了消除煩惱和憂愁,爲了修行梵行,爲了使舊病痊癒,新病不生,長久保持安穩無病。如果使用居住的房屋、床鋪、臥具,不是爲了利益,不是爲了驕傲自大,不是爲了裝飾,只是爲了使疲憊的身體得到休息,得到安寧。如果使用湯藥,不是爲了利益,不是爲了驕傲自大,不是爲了使身體肥胖,只是爲了消除疾病的困擾,爲了維持生命,保持安穩無病。
English version: If one does not guard it, then vexation and sorrow arise; if one guards it, then vexation and sorrow do not arise. Just as the eyes, ears, tongue, body, and mind perceive things, one who guards the root of mind, contemplates impurity with right thinking; one who does not guard the root of mind, contemplates purity with wrong thinking. If one does not guard it, then vexation and sorrow arise; if one guards it, then vexation and sorrow do not arise, this is called the way to cut off defilements through guarding. English version: 'How are defilements cut off through avoidance?' Monks, seeing a fierce elephant, one should avoid it, fierce horses, fierce cows, fierce dogs, poisonous snakes, dangerous paths, ditches, latrines, rivers, deep springs, and cliffs. Evil knowledge, evil friends, evil heretics, evil neighborhoods, evil dwellings, if those who practice the holy life dwell with them, they cause those who have no doubts to have doubts, monks should avoid them. Evil knowledge, evil friends, evil heretics, evil neighborhoods, evil dwellings, if those who practice the holy life dwell with them, they cause those who have no doubts to have doubts, all should be avoided. If one does not avoid them, then vexation and sorrow arise; if one avoids them, then vexation and sorrow do not arise, this is called the way to cut off defilements through avoidance. English version: 'How are defilements cut off through proper use?' Monks, if one uses clothing, it is not for profit, not for arrogance, not for adornment, but only to protect from mosquitoes, wind, rain, cold, and heat, and out of a sense of shame. If one uses food, it is not for profit, not for arrogance, not to make the body fat, but only to make the body last long, to eliminate vexation and sorrow, to practice the holy life, to heal old illnesses, to prevent new illnesses, and to remain long in peace and health. If one uses dwellings, beds, and bedding, it is not for profit, not for arrogance, not for adornment, but only to allow the weary body to rest and find peace. If one uses medicine, it is not for profit, not for arrogance, not to make the body fat, but only to eliminate the troubles of illness, to maintain the life force, and to remain in peace and health.
。若不用者,則生煩惱、憂戚,用則不生煩惱、憂戚,是謂有漏從用斷也。
「云何有漏從忍斷耶?比丘!精進斷惡不善,修善法故,常有起想,專心精勤,身體、皮肉、筋骨、血髓皆令干竭,不捨精進,要得所求,乃舍精進。比丘!復當堪忍飢渴、寒熱、蚊虻蠅蚤虱,風日所逼,惡聲捶杖,亦能忍之,身遇諸病,極為苦痛,至命欲絕,諸不可樂,皆能堪忍。若不忍者,則生煩惱、憂戚,忍則不生煩惱、憂戚,是謂有漏從忍斷也。
「云何有漏從除斷耶?比丘!生慾念不除斷舍離,生恚念、害念不除斷舍離,若不除者,則生煩惱、憂戚,除則不生煩惱、憂戚,是謂有漏從除斷也。
「云何有漏從思惟斷耶?比丘!思惟初念覺支,依離、依無慾、依于滅盡,起至出要,法精進喜息定,思惟第七舍覺支,依離、依無慾、依于滅盡,趣至出要。若不思惟者,則生煩惱、憂戚,思惟則不生煩惱、憂戚,是謂有漏從思惟斷也。
「若使比丘有漏從見斷則以見斷,有漏從護斷則以護斷,有漏從離斷則以離斷,有漏從用斷則以用斷,有漏從忍斷則以忍斷,有漏從除斷則以除斷,有漏從思惟斷則以思惟斷,是謂比丘一切漏盡諸結已解,能以正智而得苦際。」
佛說如是。彼諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行
現代漢語譯本:如果不用這些方法,就會產生煩惱和憂愁;如果使用這些方法,就不會產生煩惱和憂愁,這叫做通過運用(修行方法)來斷除有漏。 現代漢語譯本:『什麼叫做通過忍耐來斷除有漏呢?』比丘們,精進地斷除邪惡和不善,修習善法,心中常有目標,專心精勤,使身體、面板、肌肉、骨骼、骨髓都乾枯,也不放棄精進,一定要達到所求的目標,才停止精進。比丘們,還要能夠忍受飢渴、寒冷、炎熱、蚊子、蒼蠅、跳蚤、虱子,風吹日曬,惡語謾罵,甚至棍棒毆打,也都能忍受。身體遇到各種疾病,極其痛苦,甚至生命垂危,各種不愉快的事情,都能忍受。如果不能忍受,就會產生煩惱和憂愁;如果能夠忍受,就不會產生煩惱和憂愁,這叫做通過忍耐來斷除有漏。 現代漢語譯本:『什麼叫做通過去除來斷除有漏呢?』比丘們,如果生起慾望的念頭,不去除、斷絕、捨棄;生起嗔恨的念頭、傷害的念頭,不去除、斷絕、捨棄;如果不能去除,就會產生煩惱和憂愁;如果能夠去除,就不會產生煩惱和憂愁,這叫做通過去除來斷除有漏。 現代漢語譯本:『什麼叫做通過思考來斷除有漏呢?』比丘們,思考初唸的覺悟支,依靠遠離、依靠無慾、依靠滅盡,從而達到解脫;思考法、精進、喜、息、定,思考第七個舍覺支,依靠遠離、依靠無慾、依靠滅盡,從而達到解脫。如果不能思考,就會產生煩惱和憂愁;如果能夠思考,就不會產生煩惱和憂愁,這叫做通過思考來斷除有漏。 現代漢語譯本:『如果比丘的有漏是通過見解來斷除的,就用見解來斷除;有漏是通過防護來斷除的,就用防護來斷除;有漏是通過遠離來斷除的,就用遠離來斷除;有漏是通過運用(修行方法)來斷除的,就用運用(修行方法)來斷除;有漏是通過忍耐來斷除的,就用忍耐來斷除;有漏是通過去除來斷除的,就用去除來斷除;有漏是通過思考來斷除的,就用思考來斷除。』這就是說,比丘的一切煩惱都已斷盡,所有的束縛都已解脫,能夠以正確的智慧達到苦的盡頭。」 現代漢語譯本:佛陀這樣說完。那些比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。
English version: If one does not use these methods, then vexation and sorrow arise; if one uses them, then vexation and sorrow do not arise. This is called severing the outflows through use. English version: 'What is severing the outflows through endurance?' Monks, diligently severing evil and unwholesome things, cultivating wholesome things, constantly having a goal in mind, focusing diligently, causing the body, skin, flesh, bones, and marrow to dry up, not abandoning diligence, only ceasing diligence upon achieving the desired goal. Monks, one must also be able to endure hunger, thirst, cold, heat, mosquitoes, flies, fleas, lice, the pressure of wind and sun, harsh words and beatings, and even endure various illnesses of the body, extreme pain, and even the threat of death, enduring all unpleasant things. If one cannot endure, then vexation and sorrow arise; if one can endure, then vexation and sorrow do not arise. This is called severing the outflows through endurance. English version: 'What is severing the outflows through elimination?' Monks, if a thought of desire arises, one does not eliminate, sever, or abandon it; if a thought of anger or harm arises, one does not eliminate, sever, or abandon it; if one cannot eliminate them, then vexation and sorrow arise; if one can eliminate them, then vexation and sorrow do not arise. This is called severing the outflows through elimination. English version: 'What is severing the outflows through reflection?' Monks, reflecting on the first factor of enlightenment, relying on detachment, relying on non-desire, relying on cessation, thereby reaching liberation; reflecting on the Dharma, diligence, joy, tranquility, and concentration; reflecting on the seventh factor of equanimity, relying on detachment, relying on non-desire, relying on cessation, thereby reaching liberation. If one cannot reflect, then vexation and sorrow arise; if one can reflect, then vexation and sorrow do not arise. This is called severing the outflows through reflection. English version: 'If a monk's outflows are severed through view, then they are severed through view; if the outflows are severed through protection, then they are severed through protection; if the outflows are severed through detachment, then they are severed through detachment; if the outflows are severed through use, then they are severed through use; if the outflows are severed through endurance, then they are severed through endurance; if the outflows are severed through elimination, then they are severed through elimination; if the outflows are severed through reflection, then they are severed through reflection.' This means that all of a monk's afflictions are exhausted, all bonds are released, and one can reach the end of suffering through correct wisdom. English version: The Buddha spoke thus. Those monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「隨人所作業則受其報。如是,不行梵行不得盡苦,若作是說,隨人所作業則受其報。如是,修行梵行便得盡苦。所以者何?若使有人作不善業,必受苦果地獄之報。云何有人作不善業,必受苦果地獄之報?謂有一人不修身、不修戒、不修心、不修慧,壽命甚短,是謂有人作不善業,必受苦果地獄之報。猶如有人以一兩鹽投少水中,欲令水咸不可得飲。于意云何?此一兩鹽,能令少水咸叵飲耶?」
答曰:「如是。世尊!所以者何?鹽多水少,是故能令咸不可飲。」

The tenth Sūtra of Exhaustion is complete (1621 characters). The second scroll of the Madhyama Āgama Sūtra (7934 characters). The first chapter of the Madhyama Āgama Sūtra on the Seven Dharmas is complete (16043 characters) (recited on the first day). Taisho Tripitaka Volume 01 No. 0026 Madhyama Āgama Sūtra The third scroll of the Madhyama Āgama Sūtra Translated by the Tripiṭaka master Gautama Saṃghadeva of Kipin, Eastern Jin Dynasty The second chapter of the Karma-Related Section (containing ten sūtras) (recited on the first day) The Salt Analogy, Harmony and Destruction, Measure, Rāhula, Thought, Monastery, Gāminī, Lion, Nirgrantha, Parāvara. (11) The first Sūtra of the Salt Analogy in the Karma-Related Section of the Madhyama Āgama At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Śrāvastī, residing in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'According to the karma one performs, one receives the corresponding retribution. Therefore, not practicing the Brahmacarya, one cannot exhaust suffering. If one says, according to the karma one performs, one receives the corresponding retribution. Therefore, practicing the Brahmacarya, one can exhaust suffering. Why is this so? If someone performs unwholesome karma, they will certainly receive the painful result of hell. How does someone perform unwholesome karma and certainly receive the painful result of hell? It refers to someone who does not cultivate the body, does not cultivate precepts, does not cultivate the mind, and does not cultivate wisdom, and whose lifespan is very short. Such a person performs unwholesome karma and will certainly receive the painful result of hell. It is like someone putting one ounce of salt into a small amount of water, wanting to make the water so salty that it cannot be drunk. What do you think? Can this one ounce of salt make the small amount of water so salty that it cannot be drunk?' They replied: 'Yes, World-Honored One! Why is this so? Because there is much salt and little water, it can make the water so salty that it cannot be drunk.' 'Likewise, someone who performs unwholesome karma will certainly receive the painful result of hell.'

答曰:「不也。世尊!所以者何?恒水甚多,一兩鹽少,是故不能令咸叵飲。」

現代漢語譯本:『為什麼有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受地獄的苦果報應呢?』這是指有個人不修養身心、不遵守戒律、不修習禪定、不修習智慧,壽命非常短暫,這就是所謂有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受地獄的苦果報應。 『再者,有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受現世的苦果報應。』為什麼有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受現世的苦果報應呢?這是指有個人修養身心、遵守戒律、修習禪定、修習智慧,壽命非常長久,這就是所謂有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受現世的苦果報應。就像有人把一兩鹽投入恒河水中,想要讓水變咸而不能飲用。你認為如何?這一兩鹽,能讓恒河水變咸而不能飲用嗎?』 回答說:『不能。世尊!為什麼呢?因為恒河水非常多,一兩鹽很少,所以不能讓它變咸而不能飲用。』 『就像這樣,有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受現世的苦果報應。』為什麼有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受現世的苦果報應呢?這是指有個人修養身心、遵守戒律、修習禪定、修習智慧,壽命非常長久,這就是所謂有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受現世的苦果報應。 『再者,有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受地獄的苦果報應。』為什麼有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受地獄的苦果報應呢?這是指有個人不修養身心、不遵守戒律、不修習禪定、不修習智慧,壽命非常短暫,這就是所謂有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受地獄的苦果報應。就像有人搶奪別人的羊。為什麼說有人搶奪別人的羊呢?這是指搶奪羊的人,或者是國王、或者是大臣,非常有權勢,而羊的主人,貧窮卑賤沒有力量,他因為沒有力量,就只能各種懇求,合掌請求說:『尊者!請您歸還羊,如果不能歸還,請您給錢。』這就是所謂有人搶奪別人的羊。就像這樣,有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受地獄的苦果報應。
English version: 'Why is it that someone who commits unwholesome actions is certain to receive the painful retribution of hell? It is because there is a person who does not cultivate their body, does not observe precepts, does not cultivate their mind, does not cultivate wisdom, and has a very short lifespan.

'Furthermore, someone who commits unwholesome actions is certain to receive the painful retribution in this very life. Why is it that someone who commits unwholesome actions is certain to receive the painful retribution in this very life? It is because there is a person who cultivates their body, observes precepts, cultivates their mind, cultivates wisdom, and has an extremely long lifespan. This is what is meant by someone who commits unwholesome actions is certain to receive the painful retribution in this very life. It is like someone throwing a tael of salt into the Ganges River, wanting to make the water salty and undrinkable. What do you think? Can this one tael of salt make the Ganges water salty and undrinkable?' The answer was: 'No, Venerable One! Why is that? Because the Ganges water is very vast, and one tael of salt is very little, therefore it cannot make it salty and undrinkable.' 'Just like that, someone who commits unwholesome actions is certain to receive the painful retribution in this very life.

It is because the person who seizes the sheep, whether a king or a minister, is very powerful, while the owner of the sheep is poor and lowly and has no power. Because they have no power, they can only make various requests, clasping their hands and begging, saying: 'Venerable One! Please return the sheep, or if you cannot return it, please give me money.' This is what is meant by someone seizing another person's sheep. Just like that, someone who commits unwholesome actions is certain to receive the painful retribution of hell.'

It is because there are those who cultivate their body, observe precepts, cultivate their mind, and cultivate wisdom, and their lifespan is very long. This is what is meant by someone who commits unwholesome deeds is certain to suffer the painful consequences in this very life. Furthermore, there are those who commit unwholesome deeds and are certain to suffer the painful consequences of hell. Why is it that someone who commits unwholesome deeds is certain to suffer the painful consequences of hell? It is because there are those who do not cultivate their body, do not observe precepts, do not cultivate their mind, and do not cultivate wisdom, and their lifespan is very short. This is what is meant by someone who commits unwholesome deeds is certain to suffer the painful consequences of hell. It is like someone who owes another five coins and is bound by the creditor, and even if they owe only one coin, they are still bound by the creditor. Why is it that someone who owes another five coins is bound by the creditor, and even if they owe only one coin, they are still bound by the creditor? It is because the debtor is poor and powerless, and because they are poor and powerless, they are bound by the creditor for owing five coins, and even for owing one coin. This is what is meant by someone who owes another five coins is bound by the creditor, and even if they owe only one coin, they are still bound by the creditor.
。如是有人作不善業,必受苦果地獄之報。云何有人作不善業,必受苦果地獄之報?謂有一人不修身、不修戒、不修心、不修慧,壽命甚短,是謂有人作不善業,必受苦果地獄之報。
「複次,有人作不善業,必受苦果現法之報。云何有人作不善業,必受苦果現法之報?謂有一人修身、修戒、修心、修慧,壽命極長,是謂有人作不善業,必受苦果現法之報。猶如有人雖負百錢,不為主所縛,乃至千萬亦不為主所縛。云何有人雖負百錢,不為主所縛,乃至千萬亦不為主所縛?謂負債人產業無量,極有勢力,彼以是故,雖負百錢,不為主所縛,乃至千萬亦不為主所縛。是謂有人雖負百錢,不為主所縛,乃至千萬亦不為主所縛。如是,有人作不善業,必受苦果現法之報。云何有人作不善業,必受苦果現法之報?謂有一人修身、修戒、修心、修慧,壽命極長,是謂有人作不善業,必受苦果現法之報,彼于現法設受善惡業報而輕微也。」
鹽喻經第一竟(千三百五十一字)
(一二)中阿含業相應品和破經第二(和乎過反)(初一日誦)
一時,佛游釋羈瘦迦維羅衛,在尼拘類園
現代漢語譯本:如果有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受痛苦的果報,墮入地獄。為什麼有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受痛苦的果報,墮入地獄呢?這是指有的人不修養身心,不遵守戒律,不修習禪定,不增長智慧,而且壽命很短。這就是說有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受痛苦的果報,墮入地獄。 還有一種情況,有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受痛苦的果報,但會在今生就顯現出來。為什麼有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受痛苦的果報,但會在今生就顯現出來呢?這是指有的人修養身心,遵守戒律,修習禪定,增長智慧,而且壽命很長。這就是說有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受痛苦的果報,但會在今生就顯現出來。這就好比有的人雖然欠了一百錢,卻不會被債主束縛,甚至欠了千萬錢也不會被債主束縛。為什麼有人雖然欠了一百錢,卻不會被債主束縛,甚至欠了千萬錢也不會被債主束縛呢?這是指欠債的人擁有無量的產業,勢力非常強大,因此,即使欠了一百錢,也不會被債主束縛,甚至欠了千萬錢也不會被債主束縛。這就是說有人雖然欠了一百錢,卻不會被債主束縛,甚至欠了千萬錢也不會被債主束縛。同樣,有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受痛苦的果報,但會在今生就顯現出來。為什麼有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受痛苦的果報,但會在今生就顯現出來呢?這是指有的人修養身心,遵守戒律,修習禪定,增長智慧,而且壽命很長。這就是說有人做了不善的業,必定會遭受痛苦的果報,但會在今生就顯現出來,他們即使在今生承受善惡業報,也會顯得很輕微。 佛陀是這樣說的。那些比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 《鹽喻經》第一部分結束(共一千三百五十一字) (一二)《中阿含經·業相應品·和破經》第二(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在釋迦族的羈瘦迦維羅衛城,住在尼拘類園。
English version: If someone commits unwholesome deeds, they will surely experience the painful consequences of hell. Why is it that someone who commits unwholesome deeds will surely experience the painful consequences of hell? It is because such a person does not cultivate their body, does not observe precepts, does not cultivate their mind, does not cultivate wisdom, and has a very short lifespan. This is why someone who commits unwholesome deeds will surely experience the painful consequences of hell. Furthermore, there is another case where someone commits unwholesome deeds and will surely experience the painful consequences, but these will manifest in their current life. Why is it that someone who commits unwholesome deeds will surely experience the painful consequences, but these will manifest in their current life? It is because such a person cultivates their body, observes precepts, cultivates their mind, cultivates wisdom, and has a very long lifespan. This is why someone who commits unwholesome deeds will surely experience the painful consequences, but these will manifest in their current life. It is like someone who owes a hundred coins is not bound by the creditor, and even if they owe a thousand coins, they are not bound by the creditor. Why is it that someone who owes a hundred coins is not bound by the creditor, and even if they owe a thousand coins, they are not bound by the creditor? It is because the debtor has immeasurable wealth and great power. Therefore, even if they owe a hundred coins, they are not bound by the creditor, and even if they owe a thousand coins, they are not bound by the creditor. This is why someone who owes a hundred coins is not bound by the creditor, and even if they owe a thousand coins, they are not bound by the creditor. Similarly, someone who commits unwholesome deeds will surely experience the painful consequences, but these will manifest in their current life. Why is it that someone who commits unwholesome deeds will surely experience the painful consequences, but these will manifest in their current life? It is because such a person cultivates their body, observes precepts, cultivates their mind, cultivates wisdom, and has a very long lifespan. This is why someone who commits unwholesome deeds will surely experience the painful consequences, but these will manifest in their current life, and even if they experience the karmic consequences of good or bad deeds in this life, they will be very light. Thus spoke the Buddha. Those monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. The first part of the Salt Simile Sutra ends (1351 words in total). (12) The second of the Middle Length Discourses, the Karma-Related Section, the Sutra of Breaking (to be recited on the first day). At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Kapilavastu of the Sakyas, staying in the Banyan Grove.
爾時,尊者大目乾連與比丘眾俱,于中食後有所為故,集坐講堂。是時,尼干有一弟子,釋種,名曰和破,中后彷徉至尊者大目乾連所,共相問訊,卻坐一面。
於是,尊者大目乾連問如此事:「于和破意云何?若有比丘身、口、意護,汝頗見是處,因此生不善漏,令至後世耶?」
和破答曰:「大目乾連!若有比丘身、口、意護,我見是處,因此生不善漏令至後世。大目乾連!若有前世行不善行,因此生不善漏令至後世。」
后時,世尊靜處宴坐,以凈天耳出過於人,聞尊者大目乾連與尼乾弟子釋和破共論如是。世尊聞已,則于晡時從宴坐起,往詣講堂比丘眾前,敷座而坐。世尊坐已,問曰:「目乾連!向與尼乾弟子釋和破共論何事?復以何事集坐講堂?」
尊者大目乾連白曰:「世尊!我今日與比丘眾俱,于中食後有所為故,集坐講堂,此尼乾弟子釋和破中后彷徉來至我所,共相問訊,卻坐一面,我問如是:『于和破意云何?若有比丘身、口、意護,汝頗見是處,因此生不善漏令至後世耶?』尼乾弟子釋和破即答我言:『若有比丘身、口、意護,我見是處,因此生不善漏令至後世。大目乾連!若有前世行不善行,因此生不善漏令至後世
當時,尊者大目犍連與眾比丘一起,在午飯後因為一些事情,聚集在講堂。這時,一個尼乾的弟子,是釋迦族人,名叫和破,在午後徘徊來到尊者大目犍連那裡,互相問候后,坐在一旁。 於是,尊者大目犍連問他:『和破,你認為怎麼樣?如果一個比丘身、口、意都守護清凈,你是否認為會有因為這個而產生不善的煩惱,導致來世受苦的情況?』 和破回答說:『大目犍連,如果一個比丘身、口、意都守護清凈,我認為會有因為這個而產生不善的煩惱,導致來世受苦的情況。大目犍連,如果前世做了不善的行為,也會因此產生不善的煩惱,導致來世受苦。』 後來,世尊在安靜的地方休息,用清凈的天耳聽到了超過常人的聲音,聽到了尊者大目犍連與尼乾弟子釋和破的對話。世尊聽到后,在傍晚時分從休息處起身,來到講堂的比丘眾前,鋪好座位坐下。世尊坐下後,問道:『目犍連,你剛才和尼乾弟子釋和破討論了什麼?又因為什麼事聚集在講堂?』 尊者大目犍連回答說:『世尊,我今天和眾比丘一起,在午飯後因為一些事情,聚集在講堂。這個尼乾弟子釋和破在午後徘徊來到我這裡,互相問候后,坐在一旁。我問他:『和破,你認為怎麼樣?如果一個比丘身、口、意都守護清凈,你是否認為會有因為這個而產生不善的煩惱,導致來世受苦的情況?』尼乾弟子釋和破回答我說:『如果一個比丘身、口、意都守護清凈,我認為會有因為這個而產生不善的煩惱,導致來世受苦的情況。大目犍連,如果前世做了不善的行為,也會因此產生不善的煩惱,導致來世受苦。』
At that time, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, together with a group of monks, gathered in the lecture hall after their midday meal for some purpose. At that time, a disciple of the Nirgranthas, a Śākya by clan, named Vakra, wandered over to the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana in the afternoon, exchanged greetings, and sat down to one side. Then, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana asked him, 'Vakra, what do you think? If a monk is guarded in body, speech, and mind, do you see any possibility that this could give rise to unwholesome defilements, leading to suffering in the next life?' Vakra replied, 'Mahāmaudgalyāyana, if a monk is guarded in body, speech, and mind, I see that there is a possibility that this could give rise to unwholesome defilements, leading to suffering in the next life. Mahāmaudgalyāyana, if one has performed unwholesome actions in a previous life, this can also give rise to unwholesome defilements, leading to suffering in the next life.' Later, the Blessed One, while resting in a quiet place, with his pure divine ear, which surpasses that of humans, heard the conversation between the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana and the Nirgrantha disciple, Śākya Vakra. Having heard this, the Blessed One arose from his rest in the evening and went to the lecture hall where the monks were gathered, and sat down on the prepared seat. After sitting down, the Blessed One asked, 'Mahāmaudgalyāyana, what were you discussing with the Nirgrantha disciple, Śākya Vakra? And for what reason have you gathered in the lecture hall?' The Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana replied, 'Blessed One, today, I and the group of monks gathered in the lecture hall after our midday meal for some purpose. This Nirgrantha disciple, Śākya Vakra, wandered over to me in the afternoon, exchanged greetings, and sat down to one side. I asked him, 『Vakra, what do you think? If a monk is guarded in body, speech, and mind, do you see any possibility that this could give rise to unwholesome defilements, leading to suffering in the next life?』 The Nirgrantha disciple, Śākya Vakra, replied to me, 『If a monk is guarded in body, speech, and mind, I see that there is a possibility that this could give rise to unwholesome defilements, leading to suffering in the next life. Mahāmaudgalyāyana, if one has performed unwholesome actions in a previous life, this can also give rise to unwholesome defilements, leading to suffering in the next life.』
。』世尊!向與尼乾弟子釋和破共論如是,以此事故,集坐講堂。」
於是,世尊語尼乾弟子釋和破曰:「若我所說是者,汝當言是,若不是者,當言不是,汝有所疑,便可問我:『沙門瞿曇!此有何事,此有何義?』隨我所說,汝若能受者,我可與汝共論此事。」
和破答曰:「沙門瞿曇!若所說是,我當言是,若不是者,當言不是,我若有疑,當問瞿曇:『瞿曇!此有何事,此有何義?』隨沙門瞿曇所說,我則受持,沙門瞿曇但當與我共論此事。」
世尊問曰:「于和破意云何?若有比丘生不善身行、漏、煩熱、憂戚,彼於後時不善身行滅,不更造新業,棄捨故業,即于現世便得究竟而無煩熱,常住不變,謂聖慧所見、聖慧所知也。身生不善、口行不善、意行不善無明行、漏、煩熱、憂戚,彼於後時不善無明行滅,不更造新業,棄捨故業,即于現世便得究竟而無煩熱,常住不變,謂聖慧所見、聖慧所知。云何,和破!如是比丘身、口、意護,汝頗見是處,因此生不善漏令至後世耶?」
和破答曰:「瞿曇!若有比丘如是身、口、意護,我不見是處,因此生不善漏令至後世
現代漢語譯本:『世尊!我和尼乾的弟子釋和破曾這樣辯論,因為這件事,我們聚集在講堂。』 於是,世尊對尼乾的弟子釋和破說:『如果我說的對,你們就說對;如果我說的不對,你們就說不對。你們如果有疑問,就可以問我:「沙門瞿曇!這是什麼意思?這有什麼含義?」如果我說的你們能接受,我就可以和你們討論這件事。』 和破回答說:『沙門瞿曇!如果說的是對的,我就說對;如果說的不對,我就說不對。如果我有疑問,就會問瞿曇:「瞿曇!這是什麼意思?這有什麼含義?」我會接受沙門瞿曇所說的,沙門瞿曇只管和我討論這件事。』 世尊問道:『和破,你認為如何?如果有個比丘產生了不善的身行,導致煩惱、熱惱、憂愁,他後來不善的身行消滅了,不再造新的惡業,捨棄了舊的惡業,那麼他當下就能達到究竟的解脫,沒有煩惱,常住不變,這是聖慧所見、聖慧所知的。身生不善、口行不善、意行不善、無明行,導致煩惱、熱惱、憂愁,他後來不善的無明行消滅了,不再造新的惡業,捨棄了舊的惡業,那麼他當下就能達到究竟的解脫,沒有煩惱,常住不變,這是聖慧所見、聖慧所知的。和破,你認為如何?如果這樣的比丘守護身、口、意,你是否看到有任何地方,會因此產生不善的煩惱,導致來世的苦果呢?』 和破回答說:『瞿曇!如果有比丘這樣守護身、口、意,我沒有看到任何地方,會因此產生不善的煩惱,導致來世的苦果。』
English version: 'Venerable Sir, I and Nigantha's disciple, Sakkara and Parapata, had a discussion like this, and because of this matter, we gathered in the lecture hall.' Then, the World Honored One said to Nigantha's disciples, Sakkara and Parapata: 'If what I say is correct, you should say it is correct; if what I say is incorrect, you should say it is incorrect. If you have any doubts, you can ask me: 「Shramana Gautama! What does this mean? What is the significance of this?」 If you can accept what I say, I can discuss this matter with you.' Parapata replied: 'Shramana Gautama! If what is said is correct, I will say it is correct; if what is said is incorrect, I will say it is incorrect. If I have any doubts, I will ask Gautama: 「Gautama! What does this mean? What is the significance of this?」 I will accept what Shramana Gautama says, Shramana Gautama should just discuss this matter with me.' The World Honored One asked: 'Parapata, what do you think? If a bhikkhu generates unwholesome bodily actions, which lead to defilements, heat, and sorrow, and later his unwholesome bodily actions cease, he no longer creates new bad karma, and abandons the old bad karma, then he can attain ultimate liberation in this very life, without defilements, remaining constant and unchanging, which is seen and known by holy wisdom. If unwholesome bodily actions, unwholesome verbal actions, unwholesome mental actions, and actions of ignorance lead to defilements, heat, and sorrow, and later his unwholesome actions of ignorance cease, he no longer creates new bad karma, and abandons the old bad karma, then he can attain ultimate liberation in this very life, without defilements, remaining constant and unchanging, which is seen and known by holy wisdom. What do you think, Parapata? If such a bhikkhu guards his body, speech, and mind, do you see any place where unwholesome defilements would arise, leading to suffering in the next life?' Parapata replied: 'Gautama! If a bhikkhu guards his body, speech, and mind in this way, I do not see any place where unwholesome defilements would arise, leading to suffering in the next life.'
世尊嘆曰:「善哉!和破!云何,和破!若有比丘無明已盡,明已生,彼無明已盡,明已生,生後身覺便知生後身覺,生後命覺便知生後命覺,身壞命終,壽已畢訖,即于現世一切所覺便盡止息,當知至竟冷。猶如和破,因樹有影,若使有人持利斧來斫彼樹根,段段斬截,破為十分,或為百分,火燒成灰,或大風吹,或著水中。于和破意云何?影因樹有,彼影從是已絕其因,滅不生耶?」
和破答曰:「如是。瞿曇!」
「和破!當知比丘亦復如是,無明已盡,明已生,彼無明已盡,明已生,生後身覺便知生後身覺,生後命覺便知生後命覺,身壞命終,壽已畢訖,即于現世一切所覺便盡止息,當知至竟冷。和破!比丘如是正心解脫,便得六善住處,云何為六?和破!比丘眼見色,不喜不憂,舍求無為,正念正智,和破!比丘如是正心解脫,是謂得第一善住處。如是,耳、鼻、舌、身、意知法,不喜不憂,舍求無為,正念正智,和破!比丘如是正心解脫,是謂得第六善住處,和破!比丘如是正心解脫,得此六善住處。」
和破白曰:「如是,瞿曇!多聞聖弟子如是正心解脫,得六善住處
世尊感嘆道:『太好了!和破!你說說,和破!如果有一位比丘,他的無明已經斷盡,智慧已經生起,他斷盡了無明,生起了智慧,當他感受到來世的身體時,便知道這是來世的身體的感受;當他感受到來世的生命時,便知道這是來世的生命的感受。當他身體壞滅,生命終結,壽命已盡時,他在現世所感受到的一切都將止息,最終歸於寂滅。就像和破,樹木有影子,如果有人拿著鋒利的斧頭來砍伐樹根,將樹木一段段地砍斷,分成十分,或者一百分,用火燒成灰燼,或者被大風吹散,或者被扔進水中。和破,你覺得怎麼樣?影子是因為樹木而存在的,當樹木的根源被徹底摧毀后,影子還會存在嗎?還會再生嗎?』 和破回答說:『是的,瞿曇!』 『和破!你要知道,比丘也是如此,當他的無明斷盡,智慧生起,他斷盡了無明,生起了智慧,當他感受到來世的身體時,便知道這是來世的身體的感受;當他感受到來世的生命時,便知道這是來世的生命的感受。當他身體壞滅,生命終結,壽命已盡時,他在現世所感受到的一切都將止息,最終歸於寂滅。和破!比丘如此以正念解脫,便能獲得六種善住之處。哪六種呢?和破!比丘用眼睛看到顏色,不喜不憂,捨棄一切造作,保持正念正智。和破!比丘如此以正念解脫,這被稱為獲得第一種善住之處。同樣,用耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識感知事物,不喜不憂,捨棄一切造作,保持正念正智。和破!比丘如此以正念解脫,這被稱為獲得第六種善住之處。和破!比丘如此以正念解脫,便能獲得這六種善住之處。』 和破回答說:『是的,瞿曇!多聞的聖弟子如此以正念解脫,便能獲得六種善住之處。』
The World-Honored One exclaimed, 'Excellent! Vakkala! Tell me, Vakkala! If a bhikkhu has extinguished ignorance and generated wisdom, having extinguished ignorance and generated wisdom, when he experiences the sensation of a future body, he knows it is the sensation of a future body; when he experiences the sensation of a future life, he knows it is the sensation of a future life. When his body breaks down, his life ends, and his lifespan is exhausted, all sensations he experiences in this present life will cease and come to an end, ultimately becoming cool. Just like, Vakkala, a tree has a shadow. If someone comes with a sharp axe and cuts the tree at its roots, chopping it into pieces, dividing it into ten or a hundred parts, burning it to ashes, or scattering it with a strong wind, or throwing it into water. Vakkala, what do you think? The shadow exists because of the tree. Once the root of the tree is completely destroyed, will the shadow still exist? Will it be reborn?' Vakkala replied, 'Yes, Gautama!' 'Vakkala! You should know that a bhikkhu is also like this. When his ignorance is extinguished and wisdom is generated, having extinguished ignorance and generated wisdom, when he experiences the sensation of a future body, he knows it is the sensation of a future body; when he experiences the sensation of a future life, he knows it is the sensation of a future life. When his body breaks down, his life ends, and his lifespan is exhausted, all sensations he experiences in this present life will cease and come to an end, ultimately becoming cool. Vakkala! A bhikkhu who is thus liberated with right mindfulness attains six good dwelling places. What are the six? Vakkala! When a bhikkhu sees a color with his eyes, he is neither pleased nor displeased, he abandons all fabrication, and maintains right mindfulness and right wisdom. Vakkala! A bhikkhu who is thus liberated with right mindfulness is said to have attained the first good dwelling place. Similarly, when he perceives things with his ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, he is neither pleased nor displeased, he abandons all fabrication, and maintains right mindfulness and right wisdom. Vakkala! A bhikkhu who is thus liberated with right mindfulness is said to have attained the sixth good dwelling place. Vakkala! A bhikkhu who is thus liberated with right mindfulness attains these six good dwelling places.' Vakkala replied, 'Yes, Gautama! A well-learned noble disciple who is thus liberated with right mindfulness attains six good dwelling places.'
。云何為六?瞿曇!多聞聖弟子眼見色,不喜不憂,舍求無為,正念正智,瞿曇!多聞聖弟子如是正心解脫,是謂得第一善住處。如是,耳、鼻、舌、身、意知法,不喜不憂,舍求無為,正念正智。如是,瞿曇!多聞聖弟子如是正心解脫,是謂得第六善住處。如是,瞿曇!多聞聖弟子如是正心解脫,得此六善住處。」
於是,和破白世尊曰:「瞿曇!我已知,善逝,我已解。瞿曇猶明目人,覆者仰之,覆者發之,迷者示道,暗中施明,若有眼者便見於色;沙門瞿曇亦復如是,為我無量方便說法現義,隨其諸道。世尊!我今自歸於佛、法及比丘眾,唯愿世尊受我為優婆塞,從今日始,終身自歸,乃至命盡。
「世尊!猶如有人養不良馬,望得其利,徒自疲勞而不獲利。世尊!我亦如是,彼愚癡尼幹不善曉了,不能解知,不識良田而不自審,長夜奉敬供養禮事,望得其利,唐苦無益。世尊!我今再自歸佛、法及比丘眾,唯愿世尊受我為優婆塞,從今日始,終身自歸,乃至命盡。
「世尊!我本無知,于愚癡尼干有信有敬,從今日斷。所以者何?欺誑我故。世尊!我今三自歸佛、法及比丘眾,唯愿世尊受我為優婆塞,從今日始,終身自歸,乃至命盡。」
佛說如是
現代漢語譯本:什麼是六種境界呢? 瞿曇啊!多聞的聖弟子眼睛看到顏色時,不感到歡喜也不感到憂愁,放下對有為的追求,以正念和正智對待。瞿曇啊!多聞的聖弟子如此正確地解脫了心,這被稱為獲得了第一種善住處。同樣,耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識感知到法時,也不感到歡喜也不感到憂愁,放下對有為的追求,以正念和正智對待。瞿曇啊!多聞的聖弟子如此正確地解脫了心,這被稱為獲得了第六種善住處。瞿曇啊!多聞的聖弟子如此正確地解脫了心,就獲得了這六種善住處。 於是,和破白對世尊說:『瞿曇啊!我已經知道了,善逝,我已經理解了。瞿曇就像一個視力良好的人,把覆蓋的東西翻開,把隱藏的東西揭示出來,給迷路的人指路,在黑暗中提供光明,讓有眼睛的人能夠看到顏色;沙門瞿曇也是這樣,用無數方便的方法為我闡述道理,展示意義,遵循各種途徑。世尊!我現在皈依佛、法和比丘僧團,希望世尊接受我為優婆塞,從今天開始,終身皈依,直到生命結束。』 『世尊!就像有人飼養劣馬,希望從中獲利,結果只是徒勞疲憊而一無所獲。世尊!我也是這樣,那些愚癡的尼幹不善於理解,不能明白,不認識良田而不自我審視,長期恭敬供養禮拜,希望從中獲利,結果只是徒勞無益。世尊!我現在再次皈依佛、法和比丘僧團,希望世尊接受我為優婆塞,從今天開始,終身皈依,直到生命結束。』 『世尊!我本來無知,對愚癡的尼干有信仰有尊敬,從今天起斷絕。為什麼呢?因為他們欺騙了我。世尊!我現在第三次皈依佛、法和比丘僧團,希望世尊接受我為優婆塞,從今天開始,終身皈依,直到生命結束。』 佛陀如是說。
English version: What are the six? Gautama! A well-learned noble disciple, upon seeing a form with the eye, neither rejoices nor sorrows, relinquishes the pursuit of the conditioned, and maintains right mindfulness and right wisdom. Gautama! Such a well-learned noble disciple, whose mind is thus rightly liberated, is said to have attained the first good dwelling place. Likewise, upon hearing with the ear, smelling with the nose, tasting with the tongue, touching with the body, and knowing a dharma with the mind, they neither rejoice nor sorrow, relinquish the pursuit of the conditioned, and maintain right mindfulness and right wisdom. Gautama! Such a well-learned noble disciple, whose mind is thus rightly liberated, is said to have attained the sixth good dwelling place. Gautama! Such a well-learned noble disciple, whose mind is thus rightly liberated, attains these six good dwelling places. Then, Hekepo Bai said to the World-Honored One: 'Gautama! I have understood, O Blessed One, I have comprehended. Gautama is like a person with good eyesight, who turns over what is covered, reveals what is hidden, shows the way to the lost, and provides light in the darkness, so that those with eyes can see forms; the Shramana Gautama is also like this, using countless skillful means to explain the truth to me, reveal the meaning, and follow various paths. World-Honored One! I now take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, and I beseech the World-Honored One to accept me as a lay disciple, from this day forward, taking refuge for the rest of my life, until the end of my days.' 'World-Honored One! It is like someone who raises a bad horse, hoping to gain profit from it, but only tires themselves out without any gain. World-Honored One! I am also like this, those foolish Nigantas are not good at understanding, cannot comprehend, do not recognize good fields and do not examine themselves, and for a long time, I have respectfully made offerings and paid homage, hoping to gain profit, but it has been in vain and without benefit. World-Honored One! I now again take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, and I beseech the World-Honored One to accept me as a lay disciple, from this day forward, taking refuge for the rest of my life, until the end of my days.' 'World-Honored One! I was originally ignorant, and had faith and respect for the foolish Nigantas, but from today I will sever that. Why? Because they deceived me. World-Honored One! I now take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha for the third time, and I beseech the World-Honored One to accept me as a lay disciple, from this day forward, taking refuge for the rest of my life, until the end of my days.' Thus spoke the Buddha.

「于中若有沙門、梵志如是見、如是說,謂人所為一切皆因宿命造者,我便往彼,到已,即問:『諸賢!實如是見、如是說,謂人所為一切皆因宿命造耶?』彼答言:『爾。』我復語彼:『若如是者,諸賢等皆是殺生。所以者何?以其一切皆因宿命造故。如是,諸賢皆是不與取、邪淫、妄言,乃至邪見。所以者何?以其一切皆因宿命造故。諸賢!若一切皆因宿命造,見如真者,于內因內,作以不作,都無慾、無方便。諸賢!若於作以不作,不知如真者,便失正念、無正智,則無可以教,如沙門法如是說者,乃可以理伏彼沙門、梵志
現代漢語譯本:釋迦牟尼佛和眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 《和破經》第二部分結束(共一千五百零二字)。 (一三)《中阿含經·業相應品·度經》第三(初一日誦) 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有三種觀點,不同姓氏、不同名稱、不同宗派、不同說法,有智慧的人能夠很好地接受、牢記併爲他人講述,然而卻不能從中獲利。哪三種呢?有些沙門、婆羅門這樣認為、這樣說,認為人所做的一切都是由宿命造成的;又有些沙門、婆羅門這樣認為、這樣說,認為人所做的一切都是由神靈保佑造成的;還有些沙門、婆羅門這樣認為、這樣說,認為人所做的一切都是無因無緣的。』 『在這些人中,如果有些沙門、婆羅門這樣認為、這樣說,認為人所做的一切都是由宿命造成的,我就會去拜訪他們,到了之後,就問他們:『諸位賢者!你們真的這樣認為、這樣說,認為人所做的一切都是由宿命造成的嗎?』他們會回答說:『是的。』我再對他們說:『如果這樣的話,諸位賢者都是殺生者。為什麼呢?因為他們所做的一切都是由宿命造成的。同樣,諸位賢者都是不與取、邪淫、妄語,乃至邪見者。為什麼呢?因為他們所做的一切都是由宿命造成的。諸位賢者!如果一切都是由宿命造成的,並且這種觀點是真實的,那麼對於做或不做,內心都不會有慾望、沒有方便。諸位賢者!如果對於做或不做,不能如實知曉,就會失去正念、沒有正智,那就沒有什麼可以教導的了,像沙門法這樣說的人,才可以用道理來駁倒那些沙門、婆羅門。』
English version: The Buddha and all the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The second part of the 'Breaking and Harmony Sutra' ends (a total of one thousand five hundred and two words). (13) The third 'Crossing Sutra' of the 'Karma Correspondence Chapter' in the 'Middle Length Discourses' (recited on the first day). At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Shravasti, residing in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'There are three viewpoints, with different surnames, different names, different sects, and different sayings. Those with wisdom can accept them well, remember them well, and tell them to others, yet they do not gain any benefit from them. What are the three? Some ascetics and Brahmins hold this view and say that everything people do is caused by past lives; some ascetics and Brahmins hold this view and say that everything people do is caused by divine blessings; and some ascetics and Brahmins hold this view and say that everything people do is without cause or condition.' 'Among these people, if some ascetics and Brahmins hold this view and say that everything people do is caused by past lives, I will visit them. After arriving, I will ask them, 'Venerable ones! Do you truly hold this view and say that everything people do is caused by past lives?' They will answer, 'Yes.' I will then say to them, 'If that is the case, then all of you are killers. Why is that? Because everything they do is caused by past lives. Likewise, all of you are takers of what is not given, engage in sexual misconduct, speak falsely, and even hold wrong views. Why is that? Because everything they do is caused by past lives. Venerable ones! If everything is caused by past lives, and this view is true, then regarding doing or not doing, there will be no desire or means in the mind. Venerable ones! If one does not truly know about doing or not doing, one will lose right mindfulness and have no right wisdom, and then there is nothing to teach. Only those who speak like the Dharma of the ascetics can use reason to refute those ascetics and Brahmins.'
「于中若有沙門、梵志如是見、如是說,謂人所為一切皆因尊祐造者,我便往彼,到已,即問:『諸賢!實如是見、如是說,謂人所為一切皆因尊祐造耶?』彼答言:『爾。』我復語彼:『若如是者,諸賢等皆是殺生。所以者何?以其一切皆因尊祐造故。如是,諸賢皆是不與取、邪淫、妄言,乃至邪見。所以者何?以其一切皆因尊祐造故。諸賢!若一切皆因尊祐造,見如真者,于內因內,作以不作,都無慾、無方便。諸賢!若於作以不作,不知如真者,便失正念、無正智,則無可以教,如沙門法如是說者,乃可以理伏彼沙門、梵志。』
「于中若有沙門、梵志如是見、如是說,謂人所為一切皆無因無緣者,我便往彼,到已,即問:『諸賢!實如是見、如是說,謂人所為一切皆無因無緣耶?』彼答言:『爾。』我復語彼:『若如是者,諸賢等皆是殺生。所以者何?以其一切皆無因無緣故。如是,諸賢皆是不與取、邪淫、妄言,乃至邪見。所以者何?以其一切皆無因無緣故。諸賢!若一切皆無因無緣,見如真者,于內因內,作以不作,都無慾、無方便。諸賢!若於作以不作,不知如真者,便失正念、無正智,則無可以教,如沙門法如是說者,乃可以理伏彼沙門、梵志

『If among them there are ascetics or Brahmins who hold such a view and say that all actions of people are created by a supreme being, I would go to them. Having arrived, I would ask: 『Venerable ones! Is it true that you hold such a view and say that all actions of people are created by a supreme being?』 They would answer: 『Yes.』 I would then say to them: 『If that is the case, then you are all engaging in killing. Why is that? Because everything is created by a supreme being. Thus, you are all engaging in stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, and even wrong views. Why is that? Because everything is created by a supreme being. Venerable ones! If everything is created by a supreme being, and one sees this as it truly is, then within oneself, regarding doing or not doing, there would be no desire, no effort. Venerable ones! If one does not truly understand regarding doing or not doing, one would lose right mindfulness and right wisdom, and then there would be no way to teach. Only those who speak like the ascetics' teachings can use reason to subdue those ascetics and Brahmins.』 『If among them there are ascetics or Brahmins who hold such a view and say that all actions of people are without cause or condition, I would go to them.

「我所自知、自覺法,為汝說者,若沙門、梵志,若天、魔、梵及余世間皆無能伏,皆無能穢,皆無能制。云何我所自知、自覺法為汝說,非為沙門、梵志,若天、魔、梵及余世間所能伏、所能穢、所能制?謂有六處法,我所自知、自覺為汝說,非為沙門、梵志,若天、魔、梵及余世間所能伏、所能穢、所能制。復有六界法,我所自知、自覺為汝說,非為沙門、梵志,若天、魔、梵及余世間所能伏、所能穢、所能制。
「云何六處法,我所自知、自覺為汝說?謂眼處,耳、鼻、舌、身、意處,是謂六處法,我所自知、自覺為汝說也。云何六界法,我所自知、自覺為汝說?謂地界,水、火、風、空、識界,是謂六界法,我所自知、自覺為汝說也。
「以六界合故,便生母胎,因六界便有六處,因六處便有更樂,因更樂便有覺。比丘!若有覺者便知苦如真,知苦習、知苦滅、知苦滅道如真。云何知苦如真?謂生苦、老苦、病苦、死苦、怨憎會苦、愛別離苦、所求不得苦、略五盛陰苦,是謂知苦如真。云何知苦習如真?謂此愛受當來有,樂欲共俱,求彼彼有,是謂知苦習如真。云何知苦滅如真?謂此愛受當來有,樂欲共俱,求彼彼有斷無餘、舍、吐、盡、無慾、滅、止、沒,是謂知苦滅如真
『我所親自了解、親自覺悟的法,為你們所說的,無論是沙門、婆羅門,還是天神、魔王、梵天以及其他世間眾生,都無法征服,無法玷污,無法控制。我所親自了解、親自覺悟的法,為什麼說給你們聽,而不是被沙門、婆羅門,天神、魔王、梵天以及其他世間眾生所能征服、所能玷污、所能控制呢?因為有六處法,我所親自了解、親自覺悟,說給你們聽,不是被沙門、婆羅門,天神、魔王、梵天以及其他世間眾生所能征服、所能玷污、所能控制的。還有六界法,我所親自了解、親自覺悟,說給你們聽,不是被沙門、婆羅門,天神、魔王、梵天以及其他世間眾生所能征服、所能玷污、所能控制的。』 『什麼是六處法,我所親自了解、親自覺悟,說給你們聽的呢?就是眼處、耳處、鼻處、舌處、身處、意處,這就是六處法,我所親自了解、親自覺悟,說給你們聽的。什麼是六界法,我所親自了解、親自覺悟,說給你們聽的呢?就是地界、水界、火界、風界、空界、識界,這就是六界法,我所親自了解、親自覺悟,說給你們聽的。』 『因為六界結合,便產生了母胎,因為六界便有了六處,因為六處便有了接觸和感受,因為接觸和感受便有了覺。比丘們!如果有了覺,便能如實地知道苦,知道苦的產生,知道苦的滅亡,知道滅苦之道。如何如實地知道苦呢?就是生苦、老苦、病苦、死苦、怨憎會苦、愛別離苦、所求不得苦,簡而言之,就是五蘊熾盛的苦,這就是如實地知道苦。如何如實地知道苦的產生呢?就是這種愛慾,導致未來的存在,與快樂的慾望相伴,追求這一個又一個的存在,這就是如實地知道苦的產生。如何如實地知道苦的滅亡呢?就是這種愛慾,導致未來的存在,與快樂的慾望相伴,追求這一個又一個的存在,被徹底斷除、捨棄、吐出、消盡、無慾、滅盡、停止、消失,這就是如實地知道苦的滅亡。』
'The Dharma that I have personally known and realized, which I speak to you, cannot be subdued, defiled, or controlled by any ascetic, Brahmin, god, Mara, Brahma, or any other being in the world. Why do I speak to you about the Dharma that I have personally known and realized, and why is it not something that can be subdued, defiled, or controlled by ascetics, Brahmins, gods, Mara, Brahma, or any other being in the world? It is because there are the six sense bases, which I have personally known and realized, and which I speak to you, that cannot be subdued, defiled, or controlled by ascetics, Brahmins, gods, Mara, Brahma, or any other being in the world. There are also the six elements, which I have personally known and realized, and which I speak to you, that cannot be subdued, defiled, or controlled by ascetics, Brahmins, gods, Mara, Brahma, or any other being in the world.' 'What are the six sense bases that I have personally known and realized, and which I speak to you? They are the eye base, ear base, nose base, tongue base, body base, and mind base. These are the six sense bases that I have personally known and realized, and which I speak to you. What are the six elements that I have personally known and realized, and which I speak to you? They are the earth element, water element, fire element, air element, space element, and consciousness element. These are the six elements that I have personally known and realized, and which I speak to you.' 'Through the combination of the six elements, a womb is formed. Because of the six elements, there are the six sense bases. Because of the six sense bases, there is contact and feeling. Because of contact and feeling, there is sensation. Monks! If there is sensation, one truly knows suffering, the arising of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path to the cessation of suffering. How does one truly know suffering? It is the suffering of birth, the suffering of aging, the suffering of sickness, the suffering of death, the suffering of being with what one dislikes, the suffering of separation from what one loves, the suffering of not getting what one wants, and in brief, the suffering of the five aggregates. This is truly knowing suffering. How does one truly know the arising of suffering? It is this craving that leads to future existence, accompanied by the desire for pleasure, seeking this and that existence. This is truly knowing the arising of suffering. How does one truly know the cessation of suffering? It is the complete cessation, abandonment, relinquishment, ending, non-desire, extinction, stopping, and disappearance of this craving that leads to future existence, accompanied by the desire for pleasure, seeking this and that existence. This is truly knowing the cessation of suffering.'
。云何知苦滅道如真?謂八支聖道,正見乃至正定,是為八,是謂知苦滅道如真。比丘!當知苦如真,當斷苦習,當苦滅作證,當修苦滅道。若比丘知苦如真,斷苦習,苦滅作證,修苦滅道者,是謂比丘一切漏盡,諸結已解,能以正智而得苦際。」
度經第三竟(千一百八十四字)
(一四)中阿含業相應品羅云經第四(初一日誦)
一時,佛游王舍城,在竹林迦蘭哆園。
爾時,尊者羅云亦游王舍城溫泉林中。於是,世尊過夜平旦,著衣持缽入王舍城而行乞食,乞食已竟,至溫泉林羅云住處。尊者羅云遙見佛來,即便往迎,取佛衣缽,為敷坐具,汲水洗足,佛洗足已,坐羅云座。
於是,世尊即取水器,瀉留少水已,問曰:「羅云!汝今見我取此水器,瀉留少水耶?」
羅云答曰:「見也。世尊!」
佛告羅云:「我說彼道少,亦復如是,謂知已妄言,不羞不悔,無慚無愧,羅云!彼亦無惡不作。是故,羅云!當作是學,不得戲笑妄言。」
世尊復取此少水器,盡瀉棄已,問曰:「羅云!汝復見我取少水器,盡瀉棄耶?」
羅云答曰:「見也
現代漢語譯本:如何如實地知曉苦、苦的止息以及通往苦止息的道路呢?那就是八支聖道,即正見乃至正定,這八者合起來,就叫做如實地知曉苦、苦的止息以及通往苦止息的道路。比丘們!應當如實地知曉苦,應當斷除苦的習性,應當證得苦的止息,應當修習通往苦止息的道路。如果比丘如實地知曉苦,斷除苦的習性,證得苦的止息,修習通往苦止息的道路,那麼這位比丘就能夠一切煩惱都已斷盡,所有束縛都已解脫,能夠以正確的智慧而達到苦的盡頭。」 佛陀這樣說道。那些比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 《度經》第三部分結束(共一千一百八十四字) (一四)《中阿含經·業相應品·羅云經》第四(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在王舍城游化,住在竹林迦蘭哆園。 當時,尊者羅云也在王舍城溫泉林中游化。於是,世尊在清晨穿好衣服,拿著缽進入王舍城乞食,乞食完畢后,來到溫泉林羅云的住處。尊者羅云遠遠地看見佛陀來了,就立刻前去迎接,接過佛陀的衣缽,為佛陀鋪好坐具,打水洗腳。佛陀洗完腳后,就坐在羅云的座位上。 於是,世尊拿起水器,倒掉一些水,留下少許,然後問道:『羅云!你現在看見我拿起這個水器,倒掉一些水,留下少許嗎?』 羅云回答說:『看見了,世尊!』 佛陀告訴羅云:『我說那些明知故犯,說了謊話,卻不感到羞愧和後悔,沒有慚愧之心的人,也是這樣。羅云!他們也是無惡不作的。所以,羅云!應當這樣學習,不能開玩笑說謊。』 世尊又拿起這個剩下少許水的水器,把剩下的水全部倒掉,然後問道:『羅云!你又看見我拿起這個剩下少許水的水器,把剩下的水全部倒掉嗎?』 羅云回答說:『看見了。』
English version: How does one truly know suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path leading to the cessation of suffering? It is through the Noble Eightfold Path, namely right view, and so on up to right concentration. These eight together are what is called truly knowing suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path leading to the cessation of suffering. Monks! One should truly know suffering, one should abandon the cause of suffering, one should realize the cessation of suffering, and one should cultivate the path leading to the cessation of suffering. If a monk truly knows suffering, abandons the cause of suffering, realizes the cessation of suffering, and cultivates the path leading to the cessation of suffering, then that monk has completely eradicated all defilements, all fetters have been broken, and he is able to reach the end of suffering through right wisdom.』 The third section of the 'Crossing Over' Discourse ends (1184 words). (14) The Fourth Discourse on Rahula from the 'Connected with Action' Section of the Middle Length Discourses (to be recited on the first day) At one time, the Buddha was wandering in Rajagaha, staying in the Bamboo Grove, the Kalandaka Garden. At that time, the venerable Rahula was also wandering in Rajagaha, in the Hot Springs Grove. Then, the Blessed One, having dressed in the morning, took his bowl and entered Rajagaha for alms. Having finished his alms round, he went to the Hot Springs Grove where Rahula was staying. The venerable Rahula, seeing the Buddha coming from afar, immediately went to greet him, took the Buddha's robe and bowl, prepared a seat, and fetched water to wash his feet. The Buddha, having washed his feet, sat on Rahula's seat. Then, the Blessed One took the water vessel, poured out some water, leaving a little, and asked: 'Rahula! Do you now see me taking this water vessel, pouring out some water, leaving a little?' Rahula replied: 'Yes, Blessed One!' The Buddha told Rahula: 'I say that those who knowingly speak falsely, without shame or remorse, without any sense of conscience, are like this. Rahula! They are capable of any evil. Therefore, Rahula! You should train yourself in this way: not to speak falsely, even in jest.' The Blessed One then took the water vessel with the little remaining water, poured it all out, and asked: 'Rahula! Do you again see me taking the water vessel with the little remaining water, and pouring it all out?' Rahula replied: 'Yes, I see it.'
佛告羅云:「我說彼道盡棄,亦復如是,謂知已妄言,不羞不悔,無慚無愧,羅云!彼亦無惡不作。是故,羅云!當作是學,不得戲笑妄言。」
世尊復取此空水器,覆著地已,問曰:「羅云!汝復見我取空水器,覆著地耶?」
佛告羅云:「我說彼道覆,亦復如是,謂知已妄言,不羞不悔,無慚無愧,羅云!彼亦無惡不作。是故羅云!當作是學,不得戲笑妄言。」
世尊復取此覆水器,發令仰已,問曰:「羅云!汝復見我取覆水器,發令仰耶?」
佛告羅云:「我說彼道仰,亦復如是,謂知已妄言,不羞不悔,不慚不愧,羅云!彼亦無惡不作。是故,羅云!當作是學,不得戲笑妄言。
「羅云!猶如王有大象入陣斗時,用前腳、後腳、尾、髂、脊、脅、項、額、耳、牙,一切皆用,唯護于鼻,像師見已,便作是念:『此王大象猶故惜命。所以者何?此王大象入陣斗時,用前腳、後腳、尾、髂、脊、脅、項、額、耳、牙,一切皆用,唯護于鼻。』羅云!若王大象入陣斗時,用前腳、後腳、尾、髂、脊、脅、項、額、耳、牙、鼻,一切盡用,像師見已,便作是念:『此王大象不復惜命
佛陀告訴羅云:『我說那人徹底拋棄了道義,就像這樣,明知故犯說謊,不感到羞愧,不感到後悔,沒有慚愧之心,沒有羞恥之心。羅云!這樣的人什麼壞事都做得出來。因此,羅云!你應當這樣學習,不要開玩笑說謊。』 世尊又拿起這個空水器,把它倒扣在地上,問道:『羅云!你又看到我拿起空水器,把它倒扣在地上嗎?』 羅云回答說:『看到了,世尊!』 佛陀告訴羅云:『我說那人覆滅了道義,就像這樣,明知故犯說謊,不感到羞愧,不感到後悔,沒有慚愧之心,沒有羞恥之心。羅云!這樣的人什麼壞事都做得出來。因此,羅云!你應當這樣學習,不要開玩笑說謊。』 世尊又拿起這個倒扣的水器,把它翻過來,問道:『羅云!你又看到我拿起倒扣的水器,把它翻過來嗎?』 佛陀告訴羅云:『我說那人恢復了道義,就像這樣,明知故犯說謊,不感到羞愧,不感到後悔,沒有慚愧之心,沒有羞恥之心。羅云!這樣的人什麼壞事都做得出來。因此,羅云!你應當這樣學習,不要開玩笑說謊。』 『羅云!就像國王有一頭大象,在戰場上作戰時,會用前腳、後腳、尾巴、臀部、脊背、脅部、頸部、額頭、耳朵、牙齒,一切都用上,唯獨保護鼻子。馴象師看到后,就會這樣想:『這頭國王的大象還是愛惜生命的。為什麼呢?因為這頭國王的大象在戰場上作戰時,會用前腳、後腳、尾巴、臀部、脊背、脅部、頸部、額頭、耳朵、牙齒,一切都用上,唯獨保護鼻子。』羅云!如果國王的大象在戰場上作戰時,用前腳、後腳、尾巴、臀部、脊背、脅部、頸部、額頭、耳朵、牙齒、鼻子,一切都用上,馴象師看到后,就會這樣想:『這頭國王的大象不再愛惜生命了。』
'Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to Rahula, 'I say that person has completely abandoned the path, just like this, knowingly telling lies, not feeling ashamed, not feeling remorseful, without a sense of shame, without a sense of disgrace. Rahula! Such a person is capable of any evil deed. Therefore, Rahula! You should learn this way, do not tell lies in jest.' The World Honored One then picked up the empty water vessel, turned it upside down on the ground, and asked, 'Rahula! Did you see me pick up the empty water vessel and turn it upside down on the ground?' Rahula replied, 'I did, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to Rahula, 'I say that person has overturned the path, just like this, knowingly telling lies, not feeling ashamed, not feeling remorseful, without a sense of shame, without a sense of disgrace. Rahula! Such a person is capable of any evil deed. Therefore, Rahula! You should learn this way, do not tell lies in jest.' The World Honored One then picked up the overturned water vessel, turned it upright, and asked, 'Rahula! Did you see me pick up the overturned water vessel and turn it upright?' The Buddha said to Rahula, 'I say that person has restored the path, just like this, knowingly telling lies, not feeling ashamed, not feeling remorseful, without a sense of shame, without a sense of disgrace. Rahula! Such a person is capable of any evil deed. Therefore, Rahula! You should learn this way, do not tell lies in jest.' 'Rahula! It is like a king has a great elephant that, when entering battle, uses its front feet, hind feet, tail, hips, back, flanks, neck, forehead, ears, and tusks, using everything, only protecting its nose. When the elephant trainer sees this, he thinks, 『This king』s elephant still cherishes its life. Why is that? Because this king』s elephant, when entering battle, uses its front feet, hind feet, tail, hips, back, flanks, neck, forehead, ears, and tusks, using everything, only protecting its nose.』 Rahula! If the king』s elephant, when entering battle, uses its front feet, hind feet, tail, hips, back, flanks, neck, forehead, ears, tusks, and nose, using everything, when the elephant trainer sees this, he thinks, 『This king』s elephant no longer cherishes its life.』
。所以者何?此王大象入陣斗時,用前腳、後腳、尾、髂、脊、脅、項、額、耳、牙、鼻,一切盡用。』羅云!若王大象入陣斗時,用前腳、後腳、尾、髂、脊、脅、項、額、耳、牙、鼻,一切盡用,羅云!我說此王大象入陣斗時,無惡不作。如是,羅云!謂知已妄言,不羞不悔,無慚無愧,羅云!我說彼亦無惡不作。是故,羅云!當作是學,不得戲笑妄言。」
於是,世尊即說頌曰:
「人犯一法, 謂妄言是, 不畏後世, 無惡不作。 寧啖鐵丸, 其熱如火, 不以犯戒, 受世信施。 若畏於苦, 不愛念者, 于隱顯處, 莫作惡業。 若不善業, 已作今作, 終不得脫, 亦無避處。」
佛說頌已,復問羅云:「于意云何?人用鏡為?」
尊者羅云答曰:「世尊!欲觀其面,見凈不凈。」
「如是。羅云!若汝將作身業,即觀彼身業:『我將作身業,彼身業為凈、為不凈,為自為、為他?』羅云!若觀時則知,我將作身業,彼身業凈,或自為,或為他,不善與苦果受于苦報。羅云!汝當舍彼將作身業。羅云!若觀時則知,我將作身業,彼身業不凈,或自為,或為他,善與樂果受於樂報。羅云!汝當受彼將作身業
這是為什麼呢?因為這頭國王的大象在入陣戰鬥時,會用前腳、後腳、尾巴、臀部、脊背、脅部、脖子、額頭、耳朵、牙齒、鼻子,一切都用上。羅云!如果國王的大象在入陣戰鬥時,用前腳、後腳、尾巴、臀部、脊背、脅部、脖子、額頭、耳朵、牙齒、鼻子,一切都用上,羅云!我說這頭國王的大象在入陣戰鬥時,無惡不作。同樣地,羅云!如果一個人明知故犯地說謊,不感到羞恥和後悔,沒有慚愧之心,羅云!我說這個人也是無惡不作。因此,羅云!你們應當這樣學習,不要戲謔地說謊。 於是,世尊就說了偈頌: 『人犯一種法,就是說謊,不畏懼來世,什麼壞事都做得出來。寧願吃燒得像火一樣熱的鐵丸,也不要因為犯戒而接受世人的供養。如果害怕痛苦,不喜歡痛苦,那麼在隱蔽或顯眼的地方,都不要做壞事。如果已經做了或正在做不好的事情,最終都無法逃脫,也沒有地方可以躲避。』 佛說完偈頌后,又問羅云:『你認為人們用鏡子是做什麼的?』 尊者羅云回答說:『世尊!是爲了觀察自己的面容,看是乾淨還是不乾淨。』 『是的。羅云!如果你將要做身業,就要觀察這個身業:『我將要做這個身業,這個身業是乾淨的還是不乾淨的,是為自己還是為他人?』羅云!如果觀察時知道,我將要做這個身業,這個身業是乾淨的,或者為自己,或者為他人,是不善的,會帶來痛苦的果報,承受痛苦的報應。羅云!你就應當捨棄這個將要做的身業。羅云!如果觀察時知道,我將要做這個身業,這個身業是不乾淨的,或者為自己,或者為他人,是善的,會帶來快樂的果報,承受快樂的報應。羅云!你就應當接受這個將要做的身業。
Why is that? It is because when this king's elephant enters battle, it uses its front feet, hind feet, tail, hips, back, flanks, neck, forehead, ears, teeth, and trunk—it uses everything. 'Rahula! If a king's elephant enters battle and uses its front feet, hind feet, tail, hips, back, flanks, neck, forehead, ears, teeth, and trunk—it uses everything, Rahula! I say that this king's elephant, when entering battle, will do no evil. Likewise, Rahula! If a person knowingly speaks falsely, without shame or remorse, without a sense of conscience, Rahula! I say that person will also do no evil. Therefore, Rahula! You should learn this way, do not jokingly speak falsely.' Then, the World Honored One spoke the following verse: 'A person who commits one offense, which is speaking falsely, does not fear the next life, and will do any evil. It is better to eat iron balls, which are as hot as fire, than to accept the offerings of the world by breaking precepts. If you fear suffering and do not like suffering, then in hidden or visible places, do not do evil deeds. If you have already done or are doing bad things, you will ultimately not escape, and there is no place to hide.' After the Buddha spoke the verse, he again asked Rahula, 'What do you think? What do people use mirrors for?' Venerable Rahula replied, 'World Honored One! It is to observe one's face, to see if it is clean or unclean.' 'That is so. Rahula! If you are about to do a bodily action, then observe that bodily action: 'I am about to do this bodily action, is this bodily action clean or unclean, is it for myself or for others?' Rahula! If upon observing, you know that I am about to do this bodily action, and this bodily action is clean, either for myself or for others, it is unwholesome, it will bring about a painful result, and you will suffer the consequences. Rahula! You should abandon that bodily action you are about to do. Rahula! If upon observing, you know that I am about to do this bodily action, and this bodily action is unclean, either for myself or for others, it is wholesome, it will bring about a joyful result, and you will experience the joyful consequences. Rahula! You should accept that bodily action you are about to do.'
「羅云!若汝現作身業,即觀此身業:『若我現作身業,此身業為凈、為不凈,為自為、為他?』羅云!若觀時則知,我現作身業,此身業凈,或自為,或為他,不善與苦果受于苦報。羅云!汝當舍此現作身業。羅云!若觀時則知,我現作身業,此身業不凈,或自為,或為他,善與樂果受於樂報。羅云!汝當受此現作身業。
「羅云!若汝已作身業,即觀彼身業:『若我已作身業,彼身業已過去、滅盡、變易,為凈、為不凈,為自、或為他?』羅云!若觀時則知,我已作身業,彼身業已過去、滅盡、變易,彼身業凈,或自為,或為他,不善與苦果受于苦報。羅云!汝當詣善知識、梵行人所,彼已作身業,至心發露,應悔過說,慎莫覆藏,更善持護。羅云!若觀時則知,我已作身業,彼身業已過去滅盡變易,彼身業不凈,或自為,或為他,善與樂果受於樂報。羅云!汝當晝夜歡喜,住正念正智,口業亦復如是。
「羅云!因過去行故,已生意業,即觀彼意業:『若因過去行故,已生意業,彼意業為凈、為不凈,為自為、為他?』羅云!若觀時則知,因過去行故,已生意業,彼意業已過去、滅盡、變易,彼意業凈,或自為,或為他,不善與苦果受于苦報
『羅睺羅!如果你現在正在進行身業,就觀察這個身業:『如果我現在進行身業,這個身業是清凈的還是不清凈的,是為自己還是為他人?』羅睺羅!如果觀察時知道,我現在進行的身業是清凈的,或者為自己,或者為他人,是不善的,會帶來痛苦的果報,那麼羅睺羅!你應該捨棄這個正在進行的身業。羅睺羅!如果觀察時知道,我現在進行的身業是不清凈的,或者為自己,或者為他人,是善的,會帶來快樂的果報,那麼羅睺羅!你應該接受這個正在進行的身業。 『羅睺羅!如果你已經進行了身業,就觀察那個身業:『如果我已經進行了身業,那個身業已經過去、滅盡、變化,是清凈的還是不清凈的,是為自己還是為他人?』羅睺羅!如果觀察時知道,我已經進行了身業,那個身業已經過去、滅盡、變化,那個身業是清凈的,或者為自己,或者為他人,是不善的,會帶來痛苦的果報,那麼羅睺羅!你應該去拜訪善知識、修行者,向他們至誠地坦白你所做的身業,應該懺悔過錯,不要隱瞞,並且更加謹慎地守護自己的行為。羅睺羅!如果觀察時知道,我已經進行了身業,那個身業已經過去、滅盡、變化,那個身業是不清凈的,或者為自己,或者為他人,是善的,會帶來快樂的果報,那麼羅睺羅!你應該日夜歡喜,保持正念和正知,口業也是如此。 『羅睺羅!因為過去的行,已經產生了意業,就觀察那個意業:『如果因為過去的行,已經產生了意業,那個意業是清凈的還是不清凈的,是為自己還是為他人?』羅睺羅!如果觀察時知道,因為過去的行,已經產生了意業,那個意業已經過去、滅盡、變化,那個意業是清凈的,或者為自己,或者為他人,是不善的,會帶來痛苦的果報
『Rahula! If you are now performing a bodily action, then observe this bodily action: 『If I am now performing a bodily action, is this bodily action pure or impure, for oneself or for others?』 Rahula! If upon observing, you know that the bodily action you are now performing is pure, whether for oneself or for others, it is unwholesome and will result in suffering, then Rahula! you should abandon this bodily action you are now performing. Rahula! If upon observing, you know that the bodily action you are now performing is impure, whether for oneself or for others, it is wholesome and will result in happiness, then Rahula! you should accept this bodily action you are now performing. 『Rahula! If you have already performed a bodily action, then observe that bodily action: 『If I have already performed a bodily action, that bodily action has passed, ceased, and changed, is it pure or impure, for oneself or for others?』 Rahula! If upon observing, you know that you have already performed a bodily action, that bodily action has passed, ceased, and changed, and that bodily action is pure, whether for oneself or for others, it is unwholesome and will result in suffering, then Rahula! you should go to a wise teacher, a fellow practitioner, and confess the bodily action you have done with sincerity, you should repent your mistakes, do not conceal them, and be more careful in guarding your actions. Rahula! If upon observing, you know that you have already performed a bodily action, that bodily action has passed, ceased, and changed, and that bodily action is impure, whether for oneself or for others, it is wholesome and will result in happiness, then Rahula! you should rejoice day and night, and abide in mindfulness and clear comprehension, and the same applies to verbal actions. 『Rahula! Because of past actions, a mental action has arisen, then observe that mental action: 『If because of past actions, a mental action has arisen, is that mental action pure or impure, for oneself or for others?』 Rahula! If upon observing, you know that because of past actions, a mental action has arisen, that mental action has passed, ceased, and changed, and that mental action is pure, whether for oneself or for others, it is unwholesome and will result in suffering

現代漢語譯本:羅云!你應該捨棄那些過去的意業。羅云!如果觀察時就能知道,因為過去的行動,已經產生的意業已經過去、滅盡、變化了。那些意業是不清凈的,無論是爲了自己還是爲了他人,不善的行為會帶來痛苦的果報。羅云!你應該接受那些過去的意業。 羅云!因為未來的行動,將要產生的意業,就觀察那些意業:『如果因為未來的行動,將要產生的意業,那些意業是清凈的還是不清凈的,是爲了自己還是爲了他人?』羅云!如果觀察時就能知道,因為未來的行動,將要產生的意業,那些意業是清凈的,無論是爲了自己還是爲了他人,不善的行為會帶來痛苦的果報。羅云!你應該捨棄那些未來的意業。羅云!如果觀察時就能知道,因為未來的行動,將要產生的意業,那些意業是不清凈的,無論是爲了自己還是爲了他人,善的行為會帶來快樂的果報。羅云!你應該接受那些未來的意業。 羅云!因為現在的行動,正在產生的意業,就觀察這些意業:『如果因為現在的行動,正在產生的意業,這些意業是清凈的還是不清凈的,是爲了自己還是爲了他人?』羅云!如果觀察時就能知道,因為現在的行動,正在產生的意業,這些意業是清凈的,無論是爲了自己還是爲了他人,不善的行為會帶來痛苦的果報。羅云!你應該捨棄這些現在的意業。羅云!如果觀察時就能知道,因為現在的行動,正在產生的意業,這些意業是不清凈的,無論是爲了自己還是爲了他人,善的行為會帶來快樂的果報。羅云!你應該接受這些現在的意業。 羅云!如果有過去的沙門、婆羅門,他們的身、口、意業,已經觀察過並認為清凈,他們的一切就是這些身、口、意業,已經觀察過並認為清凈。
English version: Rahula! You should abandon those past mental actions. Rahula! If you observe, you will know that because of past actions, the mental actions that have already arisen have passed, ceased, and changed. Those mental actions are impure, whether for oneself or for others, and unwholesome actions bring about painful consequences. Rahula! You should accept those past mental actions. Rahula! Because of future actions, the mental actions that will arise, observe those mental actions: 'If because of future actions, the mental actions that will arise, are those mental actions pure or impure, for oneself or for others?' Rahula! If you observe, you will know that because of future actions, the mental actions that will arise, those mental actions are pure, whether for oneself or for others, and unwholesome actions bring about painful consequences.

。羅云!若有未來沙門、梵志,身、口、意業,當觀而觀,當凈而凈,彼一切即此身、口、意業,當觀而觀,當凈而凈,羅云!若有現在沙門、梵志,身、口、意業,現觀而觀,現凈而凈,彼一切即此身、口、意業,現觀而觀,現凈而凈。羅云!汝當如是學,我亦即此身、口、意業,現觀而觀,現凈而凈。」
於是,世尊復說頌曰:
「身業、口業、 意業,羅云! 善不善法, 汝應常觀。 知已妄言, 羅云莫說, 禿從他活, 何可妄言? 覆沙門法, 空無真實, 謂說妄言, 不護其口。 故不妄言, 正覺之子, 是沙門法, 羅云當學。 方方豐樂, 安隱無怖, 羅云至彼, 莫為害他。」
佛說如是。尊者羅云及諸比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。
羅云經第四竟(一千八百三十二字)
(一五)中阿含業相應品思經第五(初一日誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若有故作業,我說彼必受其報,或現世受,或後世受;若不故作業,我說此不必受報。于中,身故作三業,不善與苦果受于苦報;口有四業,意有三業,不善與苦果受于苦報
現代漢語譯本:羅云!如果有未來的沙門、婆羅門,他們的身、口、意行為,應當觀察並凈化,他們的一切行為都應如此,觀察並凈化。羅云!如果有現在的沙門、婆羅門,他們的身、口、意行為,正在觀察並凈化,他們的一切行為也應如此,正在觀察並凈化。羅云!你應當這樣學習,我也要這樣對待自己的身、口、意行為,正在觀察並凈化。 於是,世尊又說了偈語: 『羅云!身業、口業、意業,善與不善的法,你應當常常觀察。知道后不要說謊,羅云,不要說謊,你依靠他人生活,怎麼能說謊呢?如果掩蓋沙門之法,虛空而無真實,還說謊話,不守護自己的口。所以不要說謊,作為正覺之子,這是沙門之法,羅云應當學習。四方都富足安樂,安穩而無恐懼,羅云到達那裡,不要去傷害他人。』 佛陀這樣說。尊者羅雲和眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 《羅云經》第四完(一千八百三十二字) (一五)《中阿含經·業相應品·思經》第五(初一日誦) 我聽聞是這樣: 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果是有意造作的行為,我說必定會受到果報,或者在今生受報,或者在來世受報;如果不是有意造作的行為,我說不一定會受報。其中,身體有意造作三種行為,不善的行為會帶來痛苦的果報;口有四種行為,意有三種行為,不善的行為會帶來痛苦的果報。』
English version: 'Rahula! If there are future ascetics or Brahmins, their actions of body, speech, and mind should be observed and purified; all their actions should be like this, observed and purified. Rahula! If there are present ascetics or Brahmins, their actions of body, speech, and mind are being observed and purified; all their actions should also be like this, being observed and purified. Rahula! You should learn in this way, and I will also treat my own actions of body, speech, and mind in this way, being observed and purified.' Then, the World Honored One spoke a verse: 'Rahula! Actions of body, speech, and mind, good and bad dharmas, you should always observe. Knowing this, do not lie, Rahula, do not lie; you live by relying on others, how can you lie? If you cover up the ascetic's dharma, it is empty and without truth, and you still tell lies, not guarding your mouth. Therefore, do not lie, as a child of the fully enlightened one, this is the ascetic's dharma, Rahula should learn. All directions are prosperous and peaceful, secure and without fear, Rahula, when you reach there, do not harm others.' The Buddha spoke thus. Venerable Rahula and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The fourth 'Rahula Sutra' is complete (1832 words) (15) The fifth 'Thinking Sutra' of the 'Karma-Related Chapter' of the 'Middle Length Discourses' (recited on the first day) At one time, the Buddha was in Shravasti, residing in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'If there are intentional actions, I say that they will certainly receive their retribution, either in this life or in the next life; if they are not intentional actions, I say that they may not receive retribution. Among them, the body intentionally creates three actions, unwholesome actions will bring painful retribution; the mouth has four actions, the mind has three actions, unwholesome actions will bring painful retribution.'
「云何身故作三業,不善與苦果受于苦報?一曰殺生,極惡飲血,其欲傷害,不慈眾生,乃至蜫蟲。二曰不與取,著他財物以偷意取。三曰邪淫,彼或有父所護,或母所護,或父母所護,或姊妹所護,或兄弟所護,或婦父母所護,或親親所護,或同姓所護,或為他婦女,有鞭罰恐怖,及有名假賃至華鬘,親犯如此女。是謂身故作三業,不善與苦果受于苦報。
「云何口故作四業,不善與苦果受于苦報?一曰妄言,彼或在眾,或在眷屬,或在王家,若呼彼問,汝知便說,彼不知言知,知言不知,不見言見,見言不見,為己為他,或為財物,知已妄言。二曰兩舌,欲離別他,聞此語彼,欲破壞此,聞彼語此,欲破壞彼,合者欲離,離者復離,而作群黨,樂於群黨,稱說群黨。三曰粗言,彼若有言,辭氣粗獷,惡聲逆耳,眾所不喜,眾所不愛,使他苦惱,令不得定,說如是言。四曰綺語,彼非時說,不真實說,無義說,非法說,不止息說,又複稱嘆不止息事,違背於時而不善教,亦不善訶。是謂口故作四業,不善與苦果受于苦報。
「云何意故作三業,不善與苦果受于苦報?一曰貪伺,見他財物諸生活具,常伺求望,欲令我得
『什麼叫做身體造作三種惡業,導致不善的苦果並承受苦報呢?第一是殺生,極其兇惡地飲血,懷有傷害之心,對眾生不慈悲,乃至昆蟲。第二是不予而取,貪戀他人的財物,以偷盜的意圖獲取。第三是邪淫,對方或許有父親的保護,或許有母親的保護,或許有父母的保護,或許有姐妹的保護,或許有兄弟的保護,或許有丈夫父母的保護,或許有親戚的保護,或許有同姓的保護,或許是別人的妻子,有鞭打懲罰的恐懼,以及有名義上的租賃關係,甚至到花鬘,親身侵犯這樣的女子。這就是身體造作三種惡業,導致不善的苦果並承受苦報。 『什麼叫做口造作四種惡業,導致不善的苦果並承受苦報呢?第一是妄語,他或許在眾人之中,或許在親屬之中,或許在王家,如果有人問他,你知不知道,他知道卻說不知道,不知道卻說知道,沒看見卻說看見,看見卻說沒看見,爲了自己或者爲了他人,或者爲了財物,明知而說謊。第二是兩舌,想要離間他人,聽到這邊的話就去那邊說,想要破壞這邊,聽到那邊的話就來這邊說,想要破壞那邊,使和睦的人離散,使離散的人更加離散,從而結成黨羽,樂於黨羽,稱讚黨羽。第三是惡語,他如果說話,言辭粗暴,聲音刺耳,眾人不喜歡,眾人不愛聽,使他人痛苦煩惱,使他人不得安寧,說這樣的話。第四是綺語,他不在適當的時候說,不真實地說,沒有意義地說,不合法地說,不停地說,又稱讚不停息的事情,違背時宜而不善於教導,也不善於呵斥。這就是口造作四種惡業,導致不善的苦果並承受苦報。 『什麼叫做意念造作三種惡業,導致不善的苦果並承受苦報呢?第一是貪婪,看到他人的財物和生活用品,常常窺伺希望,想要據爲己有。
『What are the three evil deeds done by the body that lead to unwholesome bitter results and the suffering of bitter retribution? First is killing, extremely viciously drinking blood, harboring the desire to harm, being uncompassionate towards all beings, even insects. Second is taking what is not given, coveting the property of others, taking it with the intention of stealing. Third is sexual misconduct, where the other person may be protected by their father, or protected by their mother, or protected by their parents, or protected by their sisters, or protected by their brothers, or protected by their husband's parents, or protected by their relatives, or protected by those of the same surname, or is another's wife, with the fear of whipping and punishment, and even with a nominal rental relationship, even to the point of a garland, personally violating such a woman. This is what is meant by the body committing three evil deeds, leading to unwholesome bitter results and the suffering of bitter retribution.』 『What are the four evil deeds done by the mouth that lead to unwholesome bitter results and the suffering of bitter retribution? First is false speech, where one may be among the crowd, or among relatives, or in the royal court, if asked, 'Do you know?' they know but say they do not know, do not know but say they know, have not seen but say they have seen, have seen but say they have not seen, for themselves or for others, or for material gain, knowingly speaking falsely. Second is divisive speech, wanting to separate others, hearing words from here and going to say them there, wanting to destroy this side, hearing words from there and coming to say them here, wanting to destroy that side, causing those who are harmonious to be separated, causing those who are separated to be further separated, thus forming factions, delighting in factions, praising factions. Third is harsh speech, where one's words are rough, the sound is jarring, disliked by the crowd, not loved by the crowd, causing others pain and distress, causing others to be unable to find peace, speaking such words. Fourth is frivolous speech, where one speaks at inappropriate times, speaks untruthfully, speaks without meaning, speaks unlawfully, speaks without ceasing, and praises things that should not be praised, going against the proper time and not teaching well, nor scolding well. This is what is meant by the mouth committing four evil deeds, leading to unwholesome bitter results and the suffering of bitter retribution.』 『What are the three evil deeds done by the mind that lead to unwholesome bitter results and the suffering of bitter retribution? First is greed, seeing the property and possessions of others, constantly watching and hoping, wanting to possess them for oneself.』
。二曰嫉恚,意懷憎嫉而作是念:『彼眾生者,應殺、應縛、應收、應免、應逐擯出。』其欲令彼受無量苦。三曰邪見,所見顛倒,如是見、如是說:無施、無齋、無有咒說,無善惡業,無善惡業報,無此世彼世,無父無母,世無真人往至善處、善去、善向,此世彼世,自知、自覺、自作證成就游。是謂意故作三業,不善與苦果受于苦報。
「多聞聖弟子捨身不善業,修身善業,舍口、意不善業,修口、意善業。彼多聞聖弟子如是具足精進戒德,成就身凈業,成就口、意凈業,離恚離諍,除去睡眠,無調貢高,斷疑、度慢,正念正智,無有愚癡,彼心與慈俱,遍滿一方成就游,如是二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與慈俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。彼作是念:『我本此心少不善修,我今此心無量善修。』多聞聖弟子其心如是無量善修,若本因惡知識,為放逸行,作不善業,彼不能將去,不能穢污,不復相隨。若有幼少童男、童女,生便能行慈心解脫者,而於后時,彼身、口、意寧可復作不善業耶?」
比丘答曰:「不也
現代漢語譯本:第二種是嫉恨,心中懷著憎恨嫉妒,併產生這樣的念頭:『那些眾生,應該殺害、應該捆綁、應該拘禁、應該釋放、應該驅逐出去。』他們希望讓那些眾生承受無量的痛苦。第三種是邪見,所見到的都是顛倒的,像這樣見解、這樣說:沒有佈施、沒有齋戒、沒有咒語,沒有善惡業,沒有善惡業的報應,沒有今生來世,沒有父親母親,世上沒有真正修行的人能夠到達善處、善去、善向,今生來世,自己知道、自己覺悟、自己作證成就而遊歷。這就是意念所造的三種惡業,不善的行為會帶來痛苦的果報。 多聞的聖弟子捨棄身體的惡業,修習身體的善業,捨棄口和意念的惡業,修習口和意念的善業。這位多聞的聖弟子如此具足精進的戒律和德行,成就身體的清凈業,成就口和意念的清凈業,遠離嗔恨和爭鬥,去除睡眠,沒有驕慢和貢高,斷除疑惑,超越傲慢,正念正知,沒有愚癡。他的心與慈愛同在,遍滿一方而成就遊歷,像這樣遍及二三四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心與慈愛同在,沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有嗔恚,沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間而成就遊歷。他這樣想:『我原本的心少有善修,我如今的心無量善修。』多聞的聖弟子他的心如此無量善修,如果原本因為惡知識,而放縱行為,造作不善業,那些惡業不能帶走他,不能玷污他,不再跟隨他。如果有年幼的童男童女,生來就能修行慈心解脫,那麼在之後的時間裡,他們的身、口、意難道還會再造作不善業嗎?」 比丘回答說:『不會的。』
English version: The second is jealousy and hatred, harboring resentment and jealousy, and having thoughts like: 『Those beings should be killed, should be bound, should be imprisoned, should be released, should be expelled.』 They desire to make those beings suffer immeasurable pain. The third is wrong view, where what is seen is inverted, with views and statements like: there is no giving, no fasting, no incantations, no good or bad karma, no retribution for good or bad karma, no this life or next life, no father or mother, and no truly virtuous people in the world who can reach good places, go to good places, or head towards good places. In this life and the next, one knows, awakens, and achieves self-realization and wanders. These are the three evil deeds created by intention, and unwholesome actions bring about painful consequences. A well-learned noble disciple abandons unwholesome bodily actions and cultivates wholesome bodily actions, abandons unwholesome verbal and mental actions, and cultivates wholesome verbal and mental actions. This well-learned noble disciple, thus fully equipped with diligent precepts and virtues, achieves purity of bodily actions, achieves purity of verbal and mental actions, is free from anger and strife, removes sleepiness, is without arrogance and conceit, cuts off doubt, transcends pride, has right mindfulness and right knowledge, and is without ignorance. His heart is filled with loving-kindness, pervading one direction and achieving wandering, and in this way, pervading two, three, four directions, the four intermediate directions, above and below, universally encompassing all, his heart is filled with loving-kindness, without bonds, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world and achieving wandering. He thinks: 『My original heart had little wholesome cultivation, but my current heart has immeasurable wholesome cultivation.』 The well-learned noble disciple, whose heart is so immeasurably well-cultivated, if originally due to bad teachers, he indulged in lax behavior and committed unwholesome actions, those actions cannot take him away, cannot defile him, and no longer follow him. If there are young boys and girls who are born with the ability to practice loving-kindness liberation, then in the future, would their body, speech, and mind still commit unwholesome actions? The monk replied: 『No, they would not.』
。世尊!所以者何?自不作惡業,惡業何由生?」
「是以男女在家、出家,常當勤修慈心解脫,若彼男女在家、出家修慈心解脫者,不持此身往至彼世,但隨心去此。比丘應作是念:『我本放逸,作不善業,是一切今可受報,終不後世。』若有如是行慈心解脫無量善修者,必得阿那含,或覆上得。如是,悲、喜、心與舍俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游,彼作是念:『我本此心少不善修,我今此心無量善修。』多聞聖弟子其心如是無量善修,若本因惡知識,為放逸行,作不善業,彼不能將去,不能穢污,不復相隨。若有幼少童男、童女,生便能行舍心解脫者,而於后時,彼身、口、意寧可復作不善業耶?」
比丘答曰:「不也。世尊!所以者何?自不作惡業,惡業何由生?」
「是以男女在家、出家,常當勤修舍心解脫。若彼男女在家、出家修舍心解脫者,不持此身往至彼世,但隨心去此。比丘應作是念:『我本放逸,作不善業,是一切今可受報,終不後世。』若有如是行舍心解脫無量善修者,必得阿那含,或覆上得。」
現代漢語譯本:世尊!這是什麼原因呢?自己不造作惡業,惡業又怎麼會產生呢?' 因此,無論是在家的男女還是出家的男女,都應當經常勤奮地修習慈心解脫。如果那些在家的男女或者出家的男女修習慈心解脫,他們不會帶著這個身體前往來世,而是隨著心念離開這裡。比丘應當這樣想:『我過去放逸,造作了不善的業,這些都可以在今生受報,不會延續到後世。』如果有人這樣修習慈心解脫,並且無量地善加修習,必定能夠證得阿那含果,或者更進一步。同樣,悲心、喜心和舍心也應當一起修習,沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有嗔恚,沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,極其深遠,無量地善加修習,遍滿一切世間,成就遊行。他們會這樣想:『我過去對這個心少有善修,現在我對這個心無量地善加修習。』多聞的聖弟子,他們的心如果這樣無量地善加修習,即使過去因為惡知識的引導,放逸而造作了不善的業,這些業也不能將他帶走,不能玷污他,不會再跟隨他。如果有年幼的童男童女,生來就能修習舍心解脫,那麼在以後,他們的身、口、意難道還會再造作不善的業嗎?' 比丘回答說:『不會的,世尊!這是什麼原因呢?自己不造作惡業,惡業又怎麼會產生呢?』 因此,無論是在家的男女還是出家的男女,都應當經常勤奮地修習舍心解脫。如果那些在家的男女或者出家的男女修習舍心解脫,他們不會帶著這個身體前往來世,而是隨著心念離開這裡。比丘應當這樣想:『我過去放逸,造作了不善的業,這些都可以在今生受報,不會延續到後世。』如果有人這樣修習舍心解脫,並且無量地善加修習,必定能夠證得阿那含果,或者更進一步。 佛陀這樣說道。那些比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。
English version: 'World Honored One! What is the reason for this? If one does not create evil karma, how can evil karma arise?' 'Therefore, whether they are lay men and women or monks and nuns, they should always diligently cultivate the liberation of loving-kindness. If those lay men and women or monks and nuns cultivate the liberation of loving-kindness, they will not carry this body to the next life, but will leave this place with their minds. A monk should think: 『I was negligent in the past and created unwholesome karma. All of this can be repaid in this life and will not continue into the next life.』 If someone practices the liberation of loving-kindness in this way and cultivates it limitlessly, they will surely attain the state of Anagami, or even higher. Similarly, compassion, joy, and equanimity should also be cultivated together, without bonds, without resentment, without anger, without conflict, extremely vast, extremely profound, limitlessly cultivated, pervading all worlds, accomplishing the journey. They will think: 『In the past, I had little wholesome cultivation of this mind, but now I have limitlessly cultivated this mind.』 If a well-learned noble disciple cultivates their mind limitlessly in this way, even if they were led by evil teachers in the past, and were negligent and created unwholesome karma, this karma cannot take them away, cannot defile them, and will not follow them anymore. If there are young boys and girls who are born with the ability to practice the liberation of equanimity, then in the future, would their body, speech, and mind still create unwholesome karma?' The monks replied: 'No, World Honored One! What is the reason for this? If one does not create evil karma, how can evil karma arise?' 'Therefore, whether they are lay men and women or monks and nuns, they should always diligently cultivate the liberation of equanimity. If those lay men and women or monks and nuns cultivate the liberation of equanimity, they will not carry this body to the next life, but will leave this place with their minds. A monk should think: 『I was negligent in the past and created unwholesome karma. All of this can be repaid in this life and will not continue into the next life.』 If someone practices the liberation of equanimity in this way and cultivates it limitlessly, they will surely attain the state of Anagami, or even higher.' The Buddha spoke thus. The monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

思經第五竟(一千一百七十四字) (一六)中阿含業相應品伽藍經第六(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在伽藍園游化,與眾多比丘一同,到達羈舍子,住在羈舍子村北的尸攝和林中。 當時,羈舍子的伽藍人聽說沙門瞿曇,釋迦族人,捨棄釋迦宗族,出家學道,在伽藍園游化,與眾多比丘一同,來到這羈舍子,住在羈舍子村北的尸攝和林中。那位沙門瞿曇有很大的名聲,傳遍十方,沙門瞿曇是如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成就、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號為佛、世尊。他於此世,在天界、魔界、梵界,沙門、婆羅門,從人到天,都能自知自覺,親自證悟成就而游化。他所說的法,初善、中善、后亦善,有意義有文辭,具足清凈,顯現梵行,如果能見到如來、無所著、等正覺,尊重禮拜,供養承事,就能快速獲得善利。我們應該一同前去拜見沙門瞿曇,禮敬供養。 羈舍子的伽藍人聽聞后,各自與同類眷屬相隨,從羈舍子出發,向北走到尸攝和林,想要拜見世尊,禮敬供養。他們到達佛陀所在之處后,那些伽藍人有的稽首佛足,然後坐在一旁;有的問訊佛陀,然後坐在一旁;有的合掌向佛,然後坐在一旁;有的遠遠看見佛陀后,默默地坐下。當時,伽藍人各自坐定后,佛陀為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴仰之心,成就歡喜,用無量方便為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴仰之心,成就歡喜后,便默然不語。
End of the Fifth Section of the Sutra on Thinking (1174 characters) (16) The Sixth Sutra of the Monastery in the Karma-Related Chapter of the Middle Agama (Recited on the First Day) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the Monastery Garden, together with a large assembly of monks, and arrived at Kesi, staying in the Shishava Forest north of Kesi village. At that time, the people of the Kesi Monastery heard that the Shramana Gautama, a descendant of the Shakya clan, had renounced his Shakya lineage, left home to pursue the path, was traveling in the Monastery Garden, together with a large assembly of monks, and had come to this Kesi, staying in the Shishava Forest north of Kesi village. That Shramana Gautama had a great reputation, known throughout the ten directions. Shramana Gautama is the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Trainer of Those Who Can Be Trained, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, called the Buddha, the Blessed One. In this world, among gods, demons, and Brahmas, among Shramanas and Brahmins, from humans to gods, he knows and understands for himself, having personally realized and attained enlightenment. His teachings are good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with meaning and words, complete and pure, revealing the holy life. If one sees the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One, respects and bows to him, makes offerings and serves him, one will quickly obtain great benefit. We should go together to see Shramana Gautama, to pay our respects and make offerings. Having heard this, the people of the Kesi Monastery, each with their own families and relatives, followed each other out of Kesi, heading north to the Shishava Forest, wanting to see the World Honored One, to pay their respects and make offerings. Having arrived where the Buddha was, some of the monastery people bowed their heads at the Buddha's feet and sat to one side; some greeted the Buddha and sat to one side; some folded their hands towards the Buddha and sat to one side; some, having seen the Buddha from afar, sat down silently. At that time, after the monastery people had each taken their seats, the Buddha taught them the Dharma, encouraging them to develop a thirst for it, and to achieve joy. He taught them the Dharma with countless skillful means, encouraging them to develop a thirst for it, and to achieve joy, and then remained silent.
時,伽藍人,佛為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,各從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白世尊曰:「瞿曇!有一沙門梵志來詣伽藍!但自稱歎己所知見,而呰毀他所知所見。瞿曇!復有一沙門梵志來詣伽藍,亦自稱歎己所知見,而呰毀他所知所見。瞿曇!我等聞已,便生疑惑:『此沙門梵志何者為實,何者為虛?』」
世尊告曰:「伽藍!汝等莫生疑惑。所以者何?因有疑惑,便生猶豫。伽藍!汝等自無凈智,為有後世,為無後世?伽藍!汝等亦無凈智,所作有罪,所作無罪?伽藍!當知諸業有三,因習本有。云何為三?伽藍!謂貪是諸業,因習本有。伽藍!恚及癡是諸業,因習本有。伽藍!貪者為貪所覆,心無厭足,或殺生,或不與取,或行邪淫,或知已妄言,或復飲酒。伽藍!恚者為恚所覆,心無厭足,或殺生,或不與取,或行邪淫,或知已妄言,或復飲酒。伽藍!癡者為癡所覆,心無厭足,或殺生,或不與取,或行邪淫,或知已妄言,或復飲酒。
「伽藍!多聞聖弟子離殺斷殺,棄捨刀杖,有慚有愧,有慈悲心,饒益一切,乃至蜫蟲,彼于殺生凈除其心。伽藍!多聞聖弟子離不與取,斷不與取,與之乃取,樂於與取,常好佈施,歡喜無吝,不望其報,彼于不與取凈除其心
現代漢語譯本:當時,在伽藍的人們,佛陀為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求和仰慕之心,使他們成就歡喜之後,各自從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,雙手合十向佛陀行禮,對世尊說:『瞿曇!有一位沙門或婆羅門來到伽藍,只是自誇自己所知所見,卻詆譭他人所知所見。瞿曇!又有一位沙門或婆羅門來到伽藍,也只是自誇自己所知所見,卻詆譭他人所知所見。瞿曇!我們聽了之後,便產生了疑惑:『這些沙門或婆羅門,誰說的是真,誰說的是假呢?』 世尊告訴他們說:『伽藍的人們!你們不要產生疑惑。為什麼呢?因為有了疑惑,就會產生猶豫。伽藍的人們!你們自己沒有清凈的智慧,不知道有沒有來世?伽藍的人們!你們也沒有清凈的智慧,不知道所作所為是有罪還是無罪?伽藍的人們!你們應當知道,諸業有三種,是由於習性而產生的。哪三種呢?伽藍的人們!所謂貪慾是諸業,是由於習性而產生的。伽藍的人們!嗔恚和愚癡也是諸業,是由於習性而產生的。伽藍的人們!貪慾的人被貪慾所矇蔽,內心沒有滿足,就會殺生,或者偷盜,或者邪淫,或者明知故犯說謊,或者飲酒。伽藍的人們!嗔恚的人被嗔恚所矇蔽,內心沒有滿足,就會殺生,或者偷盜,或者邪淫,或者明知故犯說謊,或者飲酒。伽藍的人們!愚癡的人被愚癡所矇蔽,內心沒有滿足,就會殺生,或者偷盜,或者邪淫,或者明知故犯說謊,或者飲酒。 『伽藍的人們!多聞的聖弟子遠離殺生,斷絕殺生,捨棄刀杖,有慚愧心,有慈悲心,饒益一切眾生,乃至昆蟲,他們對於殺生清凈了自己的心。伽藍的人們!多聞的聖弟子遠離偷盜,斷絕偷盜,別人給予才拿取,樂於給予,常常喜歡佈施,歡喜而不吝嗇,不求回報,他們對於偷盜清凈了自己的心。』
English version: At that time, the people in the monastery, the Buddha was teaching them, encouraging them to develop a desire and admiration, and after they had achieved joy, they each rose from their seats, bared their right shoulders, and with their palms together, bowed to the Buddha, saying to the World Honored One: 'Gautama! There is a Shramana or Brahmin who comes to the monastery, only boasting about what he knows and sees, but slandering what others know and see. Gautama! There is another Shramana or Brahmin who comes to the monastery, also only boasting about what he knows and sees, but slandering what others know and see. Gautama! After we heard this, we became doubtful: 'Which of these Shramanas or Brahmins is telling the truth, and which is telling a lie?' The World Honored One told them: 'People of the monastery! You should not have doubts. Why? Because with doubts, hesitation arises. People of the monastery! You yourselves do not have pure wisdom, do not know if there is a next life? People of the monastery! You also do not have pure wisdom, do not know if what you do is sinful or not sinful? People of the monastery! You should know that there are three kinds of karma, which arise from habits. What are the three? People of the monastery! So-called greed is karma, which arises from habits. People of the monastery! Anger and ignorance are also karma, which arise from habits. People of the monastery! A greedy person is blinded by greed, and their heart is not satisfied, so they will kill, or steal, or commit sexual misconduct, or knowingly lie, or drink alcohol. People of the monastery! An angry person is blinded by anger, and their heart is not satisfied, so they will kill, or steal, or commit sexual misconduct, or knowingly lie, or drink alcohol. People of the monastery! An ignorant person is blinded by ignorance, and their heart is not satisfied, so they will kill, or steal, or commit sexual misconduct, or knowingly lie, or drink alcohol.' 'People of the monastery! A well-learned holy disciple refrains from killing, stops killing, abandons weapons, has a sense of shame, has compassion, benefits all beings, even insects, and they purify their minds from killing. People of the monastery! A well-learned holy disciple refrains from stealing, stops stealing, takes only what is given, enjoys giving, always likes to give, is happy and not stingy, does not seek reward, and they purify their minds from stealing.'

English version: O Kalamas! A well-instructed noble disciple abandons wrong view, eliminates wrong view, and practices right view without perversion. He sees thus, he speaks thus: there is giving, there is offering, there are also incantations, there are good and bad karmic results, there is this world and the next, there are father and mother; in the world there are true ascetics who go to good places, go well, and head well, in this world and the next, knowing for themselves, realizing for themselves, and attaining self-realization, they travel. He purifies his mind of wrong view. O Kalamas! A well-instructed noble disciple achieves pure bodily action, achieves pure verbal and mental action. He is free from anger and strife, removes drowsiness, is without arrogance, eliminates doubt, transcends conceit, is mindful and wise, without ignorance. His mind is accompanied by loving-kindness, pervading one direction, he travels. Likewise, he extends his loving-kindness to two, three, four directions, the four intermediate directions, above and below, encompassing all, his mind is accompanied by loving-kindness, without fetters, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world, he travels.

There is this world and the next, there are good and bad karmic results, I have obtained the karma corresponding to this right view, I uphold it completely, when my body breaks and life ends, I will surely go to a good place, even to be born in heaven. O Kalamas! A well-instructed noble disciple, whose mind is without fetters, without resentment, without anger, without strife, this is said to be the first secure abode. Furthermore, O Kalamas! There is no this world and the next, there are no good and bad karmic results, thus, in the present life, I will not be criticized by others because of this, but will be praised by right wisdom, diligent people, and people with right view will say that it exists. O Kalamas! A well-instructed noble disciple, whose mind is without fetters, without resentment, without anger, without strife, this is said to be the second secure abode. Furthermore, O Kalamas! If there is something to be done, I will certainly not do evil, I do not think of evil.

伽藍白世尊曰:「如是,瞿曇!多聞聖弟子心無結無怨,無恚無諍,得四安隱住處。云何為四?有此世彼世,有善惡業報,我得此正見相應業,受持具足,身壞命終,必至善處,乃至天上。如是,瞿曇!多聞聖弟子心無結無怨,無恚無諍,是謂得第一安隱住處。複次,瞿曇!若無此世彼世,無善惡業報,我于現法中,非以此故為他所毀,但為正智所稱譽,精進人、正見人說其有。如是,瞿曇!多聞聖弟子心無結無怨,無恚無諍,是謂得第二安隱住處。複次,瞿曇!若有所作,必不作惡,我不念惡。所以者何?自不作惡,苦何由生?如是,瞿曇!多聞聖弟子心無結無怨,無恚無諍,是謂得第三安隱住處。複次,瞿曇!若有所作,必不作惡,我不犯世怖與不怖,常當慈愍一切世間,我心不與眾生共諍,無濁歡悅
現代漢語譯本:這是為什麼呢?因為自己不作惡,苦難又從何而來呢?就像這樣,伽藍!博學多聞的聖弟子心中沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒,沒有爭鬥,這就是所謂的獲得第三個安穩的住處。再者,伽藍!如果有所作為,必定不會作惡,我不受世間的恐懼與不恐懼所影響,常常慈悲憐憫一切世間,我的心不與眾生爭鬥,沒有污濁的歡喜。就像這樣,伽藍!博學多聞的聖弟子心中沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒,沒有爭鬥,這就是所謂的獲得第四個安穩的住處。就像這樣,伽藍!博學多聞的聖弟子心中沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒,沒有爭鬥,這就是所謂的獲得四個安穩的住處。 伽藍對世尊說:『是的,瞿曇!博學多聞的聖弟子心中沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒,沒有爭鬥,獲得了四個安穩的住處。哪四個呢?有此世和彼世,有善惡業報,我得到與此正見相應的業,受持具足,身壞命終,必定會去善處,乃至天上。就像這樣,瞿曇!博學多聞的聖弟子心中沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒,沒有爭鬥,這就是所謂的獲得第一個安穩的住處。再者,瞿曇!如果沒有此世和彼世,沒有善惡業報,我在現世中,不會因此而被他人詆譭,只會受到正智的稱讚,精進的人、有正見的人會說這是有的。就像這樣,瞿曇!博學多聞的聖弟子心中沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒,沒有爭鬥,這就是所謂的獲得第二個安穩的住處。再者,瞿曇!如果有所作為,必定不會作惡,我不念惡。這是為什麼呢?因為自己不作惡,苦難又從何而來呢?就像這樣,瞿曇!博學多聞的聖弟子心中沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒,沒有爭鬥,這就是所謂的獲得第三個安穩的住處。再者,瞿曇!如果有所作為,必定不會作惡,我不受世間的恐懼與不恐懼所影響,常常慈悲憐憫一切世間,我的心不與眾生爭鬥,沒有污濁的歡喜。
English version: Why is that? Because if one does not commit evil, how can suffering arise? Thus, Kalamas! A well-learned noble disciple, with no fetters, no resentment, no anger, and no strife in their heart, this is said to have attained the third secure dwelling. Furthermore, Kalamas! If there is any action, it will certainly not be evil. I am not affected by worldly fear or fearlessness. I will always be compassionate to all the world. My heart does not contend with sentient beings, and there is pure joy. Thus, Kalamas! A well-learned noble disciple, with no fetters, no resentment, no anger, and no strife in their heart, this is said to have attained the fourth secure dwelling. Thus, Kalamas! A well-learned noble disciple, with no fetters, no resentment, no anger, and no strife in their heart, this is said to have attained four secure dwellings. Kalamas said to the World Honored One: 'Yes, Gautama! A well-learned noble disciple, with no fetters, no resentment, no anger, and no strife in their heart, attains four secure dwellings. What are the four? There is this world and the next world, there is the retribution of good and evil deeds. I have obtained the karma corresponding to this right view, and I uphold it completely. When my body breaks and my life ends, I will surely go to a good place, even to heaven. Thus, Gautama! A well-learned noble disciple, with no fetters, no resentment, no anger, and no strife in their heart, this is said to have attained the first secure dwelling. Furthermore, Gautama! If there is no this world and the next world, no retribution of good and evil deeds, in this present life, I will not be slandered by others because of this, but will only be praised by right wisdom. Diligent people and people with right views will say that it exists. Thus, Gautama! A well-learned noble disciple, with no fetters, no resentment, no anger, and no strife in their heart, this is said to have attained the second secure dwelling. Furthermore, Gautama! If there is any action, it will certainly not be evil. I do not think of evil. Why is that? Because if one does not commit evil, how can suffering arise? Thus, Gautama! A well-learned noble disciple, with no fetters, no resentment, no anger, and no strife in their heart, this is said to have attained the third secure dwelling. Furthermore, Gautama! If there is any action, it will certainly not be evil. I am not affected by worldly fear or fearlessness. I will always be compassionate to all the world. My heart does not contend with sentient beings, and there is pure joy.'
。如是,瞿曇!多聞聖弟子心無結無怨,無恚無諍,是謂得第四安隱住處。如是,瞿曇!多聞聖弟子心無結無怨,無恚無諍,是謂得四安隱住處。瞿曇!我已知,善逝,我已解。世尊!我等儘自歸佛、法及比丘眾,唯愿世尊受我等為優婆塞,從今日始,終身自歸,乃至命盡。」
佛說如是。一切伽藍人及諸比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一七)中阿含業相應品伽彌尼經第七(伽音巨羅反)(初一日誦)
一時,佛游那難陀園,在墻村捺林。
爾時,阿私羅天有子名伽彌尼,色像巍巍,光耀煒曄,夜將向旦,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,卻住一面。
阿私羅天子伽彌尼白曰:「世尊!梵志自高,事若干天,若眾生命終者,彼能令自在往來善處,生於天上,世尊為法主,唯愿世尊使眾生命終得至善處,生於天中。」
世尊告曰:「伽彌尼!我今問汝,隨所解答
現代漢語譯本:『是的,瞿曇!』多聞的聖弟子心中沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒,沒有爭鬥,這被稱為獲得了第四個安穩的住處。『是的,瞿曇!』多聞的聖弟子心中沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒,沒有爭鬥,這被稱為獲得了四個安穩的住處。『瞿曇!我已經知道了,善逝,我已經理解了。世尊!我們都歸依佛、法和比丘僧團,唯愿世尊接納我們為優婆塞,從今天開始,終身歸依,直到生命結束。』 佛陀如是說。所有伽藍的人和比丘們,聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜奉行。 《伽藍經》第六完(一千九百八十七字) (一七)《中阿含經·業相應品·伽彌尼經》第七(伽音讀作巨羅反)(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在那難陀園的墻村捺林中游化。 當時,阿私羅天有一個兒子名叫伽彌尼,他的容貌威嚴,光芒閃耀,在夜晚將要結束時,前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退到一旁站立。 阿私羅天子伽彌尼說道:『世尊!婆羅門自視甚高,侍奉各種天神,如果眾生壽命終結,他們能使眾生自在地往來善處,生於天上。世尊是法主,唯愿世尊能使眾生壽命終結後到達善處,生於天界。』 世尊告訴他說:『伽彌尼!我現在問你,你隨自己的理解回答。』

A well-taught noble disciple has no fetters, no resentment, no anger, no strife in his heart; this is called having attained four secure dwellings. 'Gotama! I have understood, Well-gone One, I have comprehended. World-honored One! We all take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha of monks. May the World-honored One accept us as lay disciples, from this day forward, taking refuge for life, until the end of our lives.' The Buddha spoke thus. All the people of the monastery and the monks, hearing what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The sixth chapter of the 'Gharama Sutra' is complete (1987 words). (17) The seventh 'Gamini Sutra' of the 'Karma-Related Chapter' of the 'Madhyama Agama' (Gamini is pronounced as 'Ju-Luo-Fan') (Recited on the first day of the month). At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the Nandana Garden, in the village of Nata. At that time, there was a son of the Asura god named Gamini, whose appearance was majestic and whose light was radiant. As the night was drawing to a close, he went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and stood to one side. The Asura god's son, Gamini, said: 'World-honored One! The Brahmins are arrogant, serving various gods. If beings die, they can enable them to freely go to good places and be born in heaven. World-honored One is the master of the Dharma, may the World-honored One enable beings to reach good places after death and be born in the heavens.' The World-honored One said: 'Gamini! I will now ask you, answer as you understand.'

伽彌尼答曰:「不也。世尊!」

The World Honored One sighed and said, 'Excellent! Gamini! Why is that? Gamini! Those men and women who diligently cultivate and practice the wonderful Dharma, accomplishing the ten wholesome paths of action, abstaining from killing, ceasing killing, not taking what is not given, not engaging in sexual misconduct, not lying, and even abstaining from wrong views, ceasing wrong views, and attaining right views, if people were to praise and seek from them with palms together, and because of this, after their bodies break and their lives end, they would fall into evil realms and be born in hell, that is not possible. Why is that? Gamini! Because these ten wholesome paths of action, white actions have white results, naturally ascend, and will certainly reach good realms. Gamini! It is like how not far from a village there is a deep pool of water, and someone throws a bottle of ghee into the water and it breaks, the shards sink, and the ghee floats to the top. Likewise, Gamini! Those men and women who diligently cultivate and practice the wonderful Dharma, accomplishing the ten wholesome paths of action, abstaining from killing, ceasing killing, not taking what is not given, not engaging in sexual misconduct, not lying, and even abstaining from wrong views, ceasing wrong views, and attaining right views. When they die, their bodies, the coarse material elements of the four great elements, born from their parents, nourished by food and clothing, sitting, lying, walking, bathing, and enduring, are subject to destruction, extinction, and dispersion; after they die, they may be pecked by crows, eaten by tigers and wolves, burned, or buried, eventually turning to dust, but their minds, intentions, and consciousness are constantly influenced by faith, diligence, learning, generosity, and wisdom. Because of this, they naturally ascend and are born in good realms. Gamini! Those who kill, if they abstain from killing and cease killing, this is the path of the garden, the path of advancement, and the path of good realms. Gamini! Those who steal, engage in sexual misconduct, lie, and even hold wrong views, if they abstain from wrong views and attain right views, this is the path of the garden, the path of advancement, and the path of good realms. Gamini! There are also the path of the garden, the path of advancement, and the path of good realms. Gamini! What are the path of the garden, the path of advancement, and the path of good realms? They are the eightfold noble path, right view to right concentration, these are the eight

Gamini and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The seventh Gamini Sutra is complete (1213 characters).

Translated by the Tripiṭaka master Gautama Saṅghadeva of Kipin during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. (18) The Lion Sutra, the eighth of the Karma-Related Section (recited on the first day). At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Vaishali, staying at the high pavilion by the Monkey Water. At that time, many nobles of Vaishali gathered in the assembly hall, repeatedly praising the Buddha, repeatedly praising the Dharma, and the Sangha of monks. At that time, the minister Lion, a disciple of the Niganthas, was also in the crowd. At this time, the minister Lion wanted to go see the Buddha, to make offerings and pay respects. The minister Lion first went to visit the Niganthas, and said to the Niganthas: 『Venerable ones! I wish to go see the Shramana Gautama.』 At that time, the Niganthas rebuked Lion, saying: 『You should not want to see the Shramana Gautama. Why is that? The doctrine of the Shramana Gautama is fundamentally not to be done, and he also teaches a doctrine of what is not to be done. Lion! If you see what is fundamentally not to be done, it is inauspicious, and making offerings and paying respects is also inauspicious.』 Those nobles of Vaishali gathered again in the assembly hall, repeatedly praising the Buddha, repeatedly praising the Dharma, and the Sangha of monks. At that time, the minister Lion, a disciple of the Niganthas, was also again in the crowd. At that time, the minister Lion also again wanted to go see the Buddha, to make offerings and pay respects.
師子大臣便不辭尼干,即往詣佛,共相問訊,卻坐一面,而作是語:「我聞沙門瞿曇宗本不可作,亦為人說不可作法。瞿曇!若如是說,沙門瞿曇宗本不可作,亦為人說不可作法,彼不謗毀沙門瞿曇耶?彼說真實耶?彼說是法耶?彼說法如法耶?于如法無過、無難詰耶?」
世尊答曰:「師子!若如是說,沙門瞿曇宗本不可作,亦為人說不可作法,彼不謗毀沙門瞿曇!彼說真實,彼說是法,彼說如法,於法無過,亦無難詰。所以者何?師子!有事因此事故,于如實法不能謗毀,沙門瞿曇宗本不可作,亦為人說不可作法。師子!復有事因此事故,于如實法不能謗毀,沙門瞿曇宗本可作,亦為人說可作之法。師子!復有事因此事故,于如實法不能謗毀,沙門瞿曇宗本斷滅,亦為人說斷滅之法。師子!復有事因此事故,于如實法不能謗毀,沙門瞿曇宗本可惡,亦為人說可憎惡法。師子!復有事因此事故,于如實法不能謗毀,沙門瞿曇宗本法、律,亦為人說法、律之法。師子!復有事因此事故,于如實法不能謗毀,沙門瞿曇宗本苦行,亦為人說苦行之法。師子!復有事因此事故,于如實法不能謗毀,沙門瞿曇宗本不入于胎,亦為人說不入胎法
獅子大臣沒有推辭尼乾的邀請,立即前往佛陀那裡,互相問候之後,坐在一旁,說道:『我聽說沙門瞿曇的宗義根本是不可行的,也為他人宣說不可行之法。瞿曇啊!如果像這樣說,沙門瞿曇的宗義根本是不可行的,也為他人宣說不可行之法,那麼他們不是在誹謗沙門瞿曇嗎?他們說的是真實的嗎?他們說的是正法嗎?他們說法如法嗎?對於如法之說,沒有過失、沒有詰難嗎?』 世尊回答說:『獅子啊!如果像這樣說,沙門瞿曇的宗義根本是不可行的,也為他人宣說不可行之法,那麼他們不是在誹謗沙門瞿曇!他們說的是真實的,他們說的是正法,他們說法如法,對於法沒有過失,也沒有詰難。為什麼呢?獅子啊!有些事情,因為這些事情,對於如實之法不能誹謗,沙門瞿曇的宗義根本是不可行的,也為他人宣說不可行之法。獅子啊!還有些事情,因為這些事情,對於如實之法不能誹謗,沙門瞿曇的宗義根本是可行的,也為他人宣說可行之法。獅子啊!還有些事情,因為這些事情,對於如實之法不能誹謗,沙門瞿曇的宗義根本是斷滅的,也為他人宣說斷滅之法。獅子啊!還有些事情,因為這些事情,對於如實之法不能誹謗,沙門瞿曇的宗義根本是可憎惡的,也為他人宣說可憎惡之法。獅子啊!還有些事情,因為這些事情,對於如實之法不能誹謗,沙門瞿曇的宗義根本是法和律,也為他人宣說法和律之法。獅子啊!還有些事情,因為這些事情,對於如實之法不能誹謗,沙門瞿曇的宗義根本是苦行,也為他人宣說苦行之法。獅子啊!還有些事情,因為這些事情,對於如實之法不能誹謗,沙門瞿曇的宗義根本是不入胎的,也為他人宣說不入胎之法。』
The minister Lion did not refuse the invitation of the Nigantha, and immediately went to the Buddha. After exchanging greetings, he sat to one side and said, 'I have heard that the doctrine of the Śramaṇa Gautama is fundamentally impracticable, and he also teaches others the impracticable dharma. Gautama! If it is said like this, that the doctrine of the Śramaṇa Gautama is fundamentally impracticable, and he also teaches others the impracticable dharma, then are they not slandering the Śramaṇa Gautama? Are they speaking the truth? Are they speaking the true dharma? Are they teaching the dharma according to the dharma? Is there no fault or challenge in their teaching of the dharma?' The World Honored One replied, 'Lion! If it is said like this, that the doctrine of the Śramaṇa Gautama is fundamentally impracticable, and he also teaches others the impracticable dharma, then they are not slandering the Śramaṇa Gautama! They are speaking the truth, they are speaking the true dharma, they are teaching the dharma according to the dharma, and there is no fault or challenge in their teaching of the dharma. Why is that? Lion! There are some things, because of these things, one cannot slander the true dharma, that the doctrine of the Śramaṇa Gautama is fundamentally impracticable, and he also teaches others the impracticable dharma. Lion! There are also some things, because of these things, one cannot slander the true dharma, that the doctrine of the Śramaṇa Gautama is fundamentally practicable, and he also teaches others the practicable dharma. Lion! There are also some things, because of these things, one cannot slander the true dharma, that the doctrine of the Śramaṇa Gautama is fundamentally annihilation, and he also teaches others the dharma of annihilation. Lion! There are also some things, because of these things, one cannot slander the true dharma, that the doctrine of the Śramaṇa Gautama is fundamentally detestable, and he also teaches others the detestable dharma. Lion! There are also some things, because of these things, one cannot slander the true dharma, that the doctrine of the Śramaṇa Gautama is fundamentally the dharma and the vinaya, and he also teaches others the dharma and the vinaya. Lion! There are also some things, because of these things, one cannot slander the true dharma, that the doctrine of the Śramaṇa Gautama is fundamentally asceticism, and he also teaches others the dharma of asceticism. Lion! There are also some things, because of these things, one cannot slander the true dharma, that the doctrine of the Śramaṇa Gautama is fundamentally not entering the womb, and he also teaches others the dharma of not entering the womb.'

The fundamental principle of the ascetic Gautama is ascetic practice, and he also teaches the method of ascetic practice to others. Lion! What is the reason that one cannot slander or defame the true Dharma? The fundamental principle of the ascetic Gautama is not entering the womb, and he also teaches the method of not entering the womb to others. Lion! If there are ascetics or Brahmins who will be born in the future, knowing that their rebirth is completely extinguished, their roots are eradicated, and they will ultimately not be born again, I say that they do not enter the womb. Lion! The Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, will have future births, knowing that their rebirth is completely extinguished, their roots are eradicated, and they will ultimately not be born again, therefore I do not enter the womb.

What is the reason that one cannot slander or defame the true Dharma? The fundamental principle of the ascetic Gautama is peace and tranquility, and he also teaches the method of peace and tranquility to others. Lion! All those who shave their heads and beards, wear the monastic robes, and with sincere faith leave their homes to practice the Way, only when the supreme pure conduct is completed, I know and realize it myself in this present life, I have personally witnessed and achieved it, and I travel, birth is exhausted, pure conduct is established, what needs to be done is done, no more future existence, knowing the truth as it is, I am at peace, and I also bring peace to other monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen. I have brought them peace, which is equivalent to liberating them from the law of birth. Sentient beings are liberated from the law of birth, the law of old age, the law of sickness, the law of death, and the defilement of sorrow and grief. Sentient beings are liberated from the defilement of sorrow and grief. Lion! It is because of this reason that one cannot slander or defame the true Dharma. The fundamental principle of the ascetic Gautama is peace and tranquility, and he also teaches the method of peace and tranquility to others. Minister Lion said to the World Honored One, 'Gautama! I have understood. Well-gone One! I have comprehended.'

現代漢語譯本:瞿曇啊!就像眼睛明亮的人,把覆蓋的東西翻開,把隱藏的東西揭示出來,給迷路的人指明道路,在黑暗中點亮光明,讓有眼睛的人能夠看見色彩。沙門瞿曇也是這樣,用無數方便法門為我說法、闡釋真義,引導我走向正道。世尊!我現在皈依佛、法和僧眾,懇請世尊接納我為優婆塞,從今天開始,終身皈依,直到生命結束。世尊!就像有人飼養劣馬,希望從中獲利,結果只是徒勞疲憊而一無所獲。世尊!我也是這樣,那些愚癡的尼幹不善於明辨,不能自知,不識良田而不自我審視,長久以來奉敬、供養、禮拜他們,希望從中獲利,結果只是白白受苦而毫無益處。世尊!我現在再次皈依佛、法和僧眾,懇請世尊接納我為優婆塞,從今天開始,終身皈依,直到生命結束。世尊!我原本無知,對愚癡的尼干有信仰和尊敬,從今天起斷絕。為什麼呢?因為他們欺騙了我。世尊!我現在第三次皈依佛、法和僧眾,懇請世尊接納我為優婆塞,從今天開始,終身皈依,直到生命結束。」 佛陀這樣說道。師子大臣和眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《師子經》第八完(二千四百一十三字) (一九)《中阿含經·業相應品·尼干經》第九(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在釋迦族的羈瘦地方的天邑中游化。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『那些尼乾等人是這樣認為、這樣說的,他們認為人所承受的一切都是因為過去的業力所致,如果過去的業力通過苦行而消滅,並且不再造新的業,那麼所有的業力就會消盡,業力消盡之後,就能得到苦的止息,得到苦的止息之後,就能達到苦的邊際。』
English version: 'O Gotama! Just as a person with clear eyes would turn over what is covered, reveal what is hidden, show the way to one who is lost, and bring light into the darkness, so that those with eyes may see forms. Even so, O Samana Gotama, you have in many ways explained the Dharma to me, revealed its meaning, and guided me along the path. O Lord, I now take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. May the Lord accept me as a lay follower, from this day forth, for as long as life shall last. O Lord, it is like someone who raises a bad horse, hoping to gain profit, but only tires himself out without any gain. O Lord, it is the same with me. Those foolish Niganthas are not good at understanding, they cannot know themselves, they do not recognize good fields and do not examine themselves. For a long time, I have revered, offered to, and worshipped them, hoping to gain profit, but it has been in vain and without benefit. O Lord, I now again take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. May the Lord accept me as a lay follower, from this day forth, for as long as life shall last. O Lord, I was originally ignorant, and had faith and respect for the foolish Niganthas. From this day, I renounce them. Why? Because they have deceived me. O Lord, I now take refuge for the third time in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. May the Lord accept me as a lay follower, from this day forth, for as long as life shall last.' Thus spoke the Buddha. Minister Siha and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The Lion Sutta, the eighth, is complete (2413 words). (19) The Nigantha Sutta, the ninth, of the Karma-Related Section of the Middle Length Discourses (recited on the first day). At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the land of the Sakyans, in the town of Kapilavatthu. Then, the Lord addressed the monks, saying: 'The Niganthas hold such views and say such things, that whatever a person experiences is due to past actions. If past actions are extinguished through ascetic practices, and no new actions are created, then all actions will be exhausted. When all actions are exhausted, suffering will cease. When suffering ceases, the end of suffering will be reached.'
。我便往彼,到已,即問:『尼干!汝等實如是見、如是說,謂人所受皆因本作,若其故業因苦行滅,不造新者,則諸業盡,諸業盡已,則得苦盡,得苦盡已,則得苦邊耶?』彼答我言:『如是。瞿曇!』我復問彼尼干:『汝等自有凈智,我為本有,我為本無,我為本作惡,為不作惡,我為爾所苦盡,為爾所苦不盡,若盡已,便得盡,即于現世斷諸不善,得眾善法,修習作證耶?』彼答我言:『不也。瞿曇!』
「我復語彼尼干:『汝等自無凈智,我為本有,我為本無,我為本作惡,為不作惡,我為爾所苦盡,為爾所苦不盡,若盡已,便得盡,即于現世斷諸不善,得眾善法,修習作證,而作是說,謂人所受皆因本作,若其故業因苦行滅,不造新者,則諸業盡,諸業盡已,則得苦盡,得苦盡已,則得苦邊。尼干!若汝等自有凈智,我為本有,我為本無,我為本作惡,為不作惡,我為爾所苦盡,為爾所苦不盡,若盡已,便得盡,即于現世斷諸不善,得眾善法,修習作證。尼干!汝等可得作是說,謂人所受皆因本作,若其故業因苦行滅,不造新者,則諸業盡,諸業盡已,則得苦盡,得苦盡已,則得苦邊。』
「尼干!猶如有人身被毒箭,因被毒箭則生極苦,彼為親屬憐念愍傷,欲饒益安隱故,即呼拔箭金醫
現代漢語譯本:我便前往他們那裡,到了之後,就問:『尼乾子們!你們真的像這樣認為、這樣說嗎?認為人所承受的一切都是因為過去的作為,如果過去的業因苦行而消滅,不再造新的業,那麼所有的業就會結束,所有的業結束之後,就能得到痛苦的止息,得到痛苦的止息之後,就能達到痛苦的邊際嗎?』他們回答我說:『是的,瞿曇!』我又問那些尼乾子:『你們自己有清凈的智慧嗎?知道我過去存在,還是過去不存在?知道我過去做了惡,還是沒有做惡?知道我的痛苦已經結束,還是我的痛苦沒有結束?如果結束了,就能得到止息,就能在現世斷除一切不善,得到各種善法,修習並證悟嗎?』他們回答我說:『不是的,瞿曇!』 我又對那些尼乾子說:『你們自己沒有清凈的智慧,不知道我過去存在,還是過去不存在,不知道我過去做了惡,還是沒有做惡,不知道我的痛苦已經結束,還是我的痛苦沒有結束,如果結束了,就能得到止息,就能在現世斷除一切不善,得到各種善法,修習並證悟,卻這樣說,認為人所承受的一切都是因為過去的作為,如果過去的業因苦行而消滅,不再造新的業,那麼所有的業就會結束,所有的業結束之後,就能得到痛苦的止息,得到痛苦的止息之後,就能達到痛苦的邊際。尼乾子們!如果你們自己有清凈的智慧,知道我過去存在,還是過去不存在,知道我過去做了惡,還是沒有做惡,知道我的痛苦已經結束,還是我的痛苦沒有結束,如果結束了,就能得到止息,就能在現世斷除一切不善,得到各種善法,修習並證悟。尼乾子們!你們才可以這樣說,認為人所承受的一切都是因為過去的作為,如果過去的業因苦行而消滅,不再造新的業,那麼所有的業就會結束,所有的業結束之後,就能得到痛苦的止息,得到痛苦的止息之後,就能達到痛苦的邊際。』 尼乾子們!就像有人身上被毒箭射中,因為被毒箭射中而感到極度痛苦,他的親屬因為憐憫和悲傷,想要幫助他得到安穩,就叫來拔箭的醫生。
English version: I then went to them, and having arrived, I asked: 『Niganthas! Do you really hold such a view and say that whatever a person experiences is all due to past actions; that if past karma is extinguished through ascetic practices, and no new karma is created, then all karma will cease; when all karma ceases, then suffering will cease; and when suffering ceases, then the end of suffering will be attained?』 They answered me: 『Yes, Gotama!』 I further asked those Niganthas: 『Do you yourselves have clear wisdom, knowing whether I existed in the past or not, whether I committed evil in the past or not, whether my suffering has ended or not, and that if it has ended, then cessation is attained, and that in this very life, one can abandon all unwholesome things, attain all wholesome things, and practice and realize them?』 They answered me: 『No, Gotama!』 I then said to those Niganthas: 『You yourselves do not have clear wisdom, not knowing whether I existed in the past or not, whether I committed evil in the past or not, whether my suffering has ended or not, and that if it has ended, then cessation is attained, and that in this very life, one can abandon all unwholesome things, attain all wholesome things, and practice and realize them, yet you say that whatever a person experiences is all due to past actions; that if past karma is extinguished through ascetic practices, and no new karma is created, then all karma will cease; when all karma ceases, then suffering will cease; and when suffering ceases, then the end of suffering will be attained. Niganthas! If you yourselves had clear wisdom, knowing whether I existed in the past or not, whether I committed evil in the past or not, whether my suffering has ended or not, and that if it has ended, then cessation is attained, and that in this very life, one can abandon all unwholesome things, attain all wholesome things, and practice and realize them. Niganthas! Then you could say that whatever a person experiences is all due to past actions; that if past karma is extinguished through ascetic practices, and no new karma is created, then all karma will cease; when all karma ceases, then suffering will cease; and when suffering ceases, then the end of suffering will be attained.』 Niganthas! It is like a person who has been struck by a poisoned arrow, and because of being struck by the poisoned arrow, experiences extreme pain. His relatives, out of compassion and pity, wishing to help him find peace, call for a physician skilled in removing arrows.
。箭金醫來,便以利刀而為開瘡,因開瘡時,復生極苦,既開瘡已,而求箭金,求箭金時,復生極苦,求得金已,即便拔出,因拔出時,復生極苦,拔金出已,薄瘡纏裹,因裹瘡時,復生極苦,彼于拔箭金后,得力無患,不壞諸根,平復如故。尼干!彼人自有凈智,便作是念:『我本被毒箭,因被毒箭,則生極苦,我諸親屬見憐念愍傷,欲饒益安隱我故,即呼拔箭金醫,箭金醫來,便以利刀為我開瘡,因開瘡時,復生極苦,既開瘡已,而求箭金,求箭金時,復生極苦,求得金已,即便拔出,因拔出時,復生極苦,拔金出已,薄瘡纏裹,因裹瘡時,復生極苦,我于拔箭金后,得力無患,不壞諸根,平復如故。』
「如是,尼干!若汝等自有凈智,我為本有,我為本無,我為本作惡,為不作惡,我為爾所苦盡,為爾所苦不盡,若盡已,便得盡,即于現世斷諸不善,得眾善法,修習作證。尼干!汝等可得作是說,謂人所受皆因本作,若其故業因苦行滅,不造新者,則諸業盡,諸業盡已,則得苦盡,得苦盡已,則得苦邊,我問如是,不見諸尼干能答我言:『瞿曇!如是,不如是。』
「複次,我問諸尼乾曰:『若諸尼干有上斷、上苦行,爾時諸尼干生上苦耶?』彼答我言:『如是
『當箭尖刺入身體時,醫生會用鋒利的刀切開傷口,切開時會感到劇烈的痛苦。切開后,他們會尋找箭尖,尋找時又會感到劇烈的痛苦。找到箭尖后,他們會將其拔出,拔出時又會感到劇烈的痛苦。拔出箭尖后,他們會用薄布包扎傷口,包紮時又會感到劇烈的痛苦。然而,在拔出箭尖后,這個人會恢復力量,不再有痛苦,身體機能完好無損,恢復如初。尼干!這個人有清晰的智慧,他會這樣想:『我被毒箭射中,因此感到劇烈的痛苦。我的親屬憐憫我,想要幫助我,讓我安穩,所以請來了拔箭的醫生。醫生來了,用鋒利的刀切開我的傷口,切開時我感到劇烈的痛苦。切開后,他們尋找箭尖,尋找時我又感到劇烈的痛苦。找到箭尖后,他們將其拔出,拔出時我又感到劇烈的痛苦。拔出箭尖后,他們用薄布包扎傷口,包紮時我又感到劇烈的痛苦。然而,在拔出箭尖后,我恢復了力量,不再有痛苦,身體機能完好無損,恢復如初。』 『同樣,尼干!如果你們有清晰的智慧,你們會明白,我是否本來存在,我是否本來不存在,我是否本來作惡,是否不作惡,我是否能使你們的痛苦結束,是否不能使你們的痛苦結束。如果痛苦結束了,就能真正結束,那麼在今生就能斷除一切不善,獲得一切善法,修行並證悟。尼干!你們可以說,人所受的苦都是因為過去的業力。如果過去的業力通過苦行而消除,並且不再造新的業,那麼所有的業力都會結束。業力結束后,痛苦就會結束,痛苦結束后,就能達到痛苦的盡頭。我這樣問你們,卻不見任何尼干能回答我說:『瞿曇!是這樣,或者不是這樣。』 『此外,我問尼干們:『如果尼干們有最高的斷除和最高的苦行,那麼尼干們那時會產生最高的痛苦嗎?』他們回答我說:『是的。』
『When the arrow tip enters the body, the doctor will cut open the wound with a sharp knife, and when cutting, there will be intense pain. After cutting, they will look for the arrow tip, and when looking, there will be intense pain again. After finding the arrow tip, they will pull it out, and when pulling it out, there will be intense pain again. After pulling out the arrow tip, they will wrap the wound with a thin cloth, and when wrapping, there will be intense pain again. However, after pulling out the arrow tip, this person will regain strength, no longer have pain, the body functions will be intact, and they will recover as before. Nigan! This person has clear wisdom, and they will think: 『I was shot by a poisoned arrow, and therefore felt intense pain. My relatives pitied me and wanted to help me, to make me secure, so they called a doctor to remove the arrow. The doctor came and cut open my wound with a sharp knife, and when cutting, I felt intense pain. After cutting, they looked for the arrow tip, and when looking, I felt intense pain again. After finding the arrow tip, they pulled it out, and when pulling it out, I felt intense pain again. After pulling out the arrow tip, they wrapped the wound with a thin cloth, and when wrapping, I felt intense pain again. However, after pulling out the arrow tip, I regained strength, no longer had pain, the body functions were intact, and I recovered as before.』 『Likewise, Nigan! If you have clear wisdom, you will understand whether I originally existed, whether I originally did not exist, whether I originally did evil, whether I did not do evil, whether I can end your suffering, or whether I cannot end your suffering. If suffering ends, it can truly end, then in this life, one can cut off all unwholesome things, obtain all wholesome things, practice and realize enlightenment. Nigan! You can say that the suffering people endure is because of past karma. If past karma is eliminated through ascetic practices, and no new karma is created, then all karma will end. When karma ends, suffering will end, and when suffering ends, one can reach the end of suffering. I ask you this, but I do not see any Nigan who can answer me: 『Gautama! It is so, or it is not so.』 『Furthermore, I ask the Nigans: 『If the Nigans have the highest cessation and the highest ascetic practices, then will the Nigans experience the highest suffering at that time?』 They answered me: 『Yes.』
。瞿曇!』『若有中斷、中苦行,爾時諸尼干生中苦耶?』彼答我言:『如是,瞿曇!』『若有下斷、下苦行,爾時諸尼干生下苦耶?』彼答我言:『如是,瞿曇!』是為諸尼干有上斷、上苦行,爾時諸尼干則生上苦;有中斷、中苦行,爾時諸尼干則生中苦;有下斷、下苦行,爾時諸尼干則生下苦。若使諸尼干有上斷、上苦行,爾時諸尼干止息上苦;有中斷、中苦行,爾時諸尼干止息中苦;有下斷、下苦行,爾時諸尼干止息下苦。若如是作、不如是作,止息極苦甚重苦者,當知諸尼干即于現世作苦。但諸尼干為癡所覆,為癡所纏,而作是說:『謂人所受皆因本作,若其故業因苦行滅,不造新者,則諸業盡,諸業盡已,則得苦盡,得苦盡已,則得苦邊。』我問如是,不見諸尼干能答我言:『瞿曇!如是,不如是。』
「複次,我問諸尼乾曰:『諸尼干!若有樂報業,彼業寧可因斷、因苦行,轉作苦報耶?』彼答我言:『不也。瞿曇!』『諸尼干!若有苦報業,彼業寧可因斷、因苦行,轉作樂報耶?』彼答我言:『不也。瞿曇!』『諸尼干!若有現法報業,彼業寧可因斷、因苦行,轉作後生報耶?』彼答我言:『不也
現代漢語譯本:『瞿曇!』我問,『如果存在上等的斷食和苦行,那麼那些尼干陀會遭受上等的痛苦嗎?』他們回答我說:『是的,瞿曇!』『如果存在中等的斷食和苦行,那麼那些尼干陀會遭受中等的痛苦嗎?』他們回答我說:『是的,瞿曇!』『如果存在下等的斷食和苦行,那麼那些尼干陀會遭受下等的痛苦嗎?』他們回答我說:『是的,瞿曇!』這就是說,如果尼干陀有上等的斷食和苦行,他們就會遭受上等的痛苦;如果他們有中等的斷食和苦行,他們就會遭受中等的痛苦;如果他們有下等的斷食和苦行,他們就會遭受下等的痛苦。如果尼干陀有上等的斷食和苦行,他們就會停止上等的痛苦;如果他們有中等的斷食和苦行,他們就會停止中等的痛苦;如果他們有下等的斷食和苦行,他們就會停止下等的痛苦。如果他們這樣做或不這樣做,停止了極大的痛苦和沉重的痛苦,那麼應當知道,尼干陀實際上是在今生製造痛苦。但是,尼干陀被愚癡所矇蔽,被愚癡所纏繞,所以他們這樣說:『人們所遭受的一切都是因為過去的業力,如果過去的業力通過苦行而消滅,並且不再造新的業力,那麼所有的業力都會結束,業力結束之後,痛苦就會結束,痛苦結束之後,就會達到痛苦的盡頭。』我這樣問他們,卻不見尼干陀能夠回答我說:『瞿曇!是這樣,不是這樣。』 『此外,』我問尼干陀們,『尼干陀們!如果存在樂報的業力,這種業力可以通過斷食和苦行轉變為苦報嗎?』他們回答我說:『不能,瞿曇!』『尼干陀們!如果存在苦報的業力,這種業力可以通過斷食和苦行轉變為樂報嗎?』他們回答我說:『不能,瞿曇!』『尼干陀們!如果存在現世報的業力,這種業力可以通過斷食和苦行轉變為來世報嗎?』他們回答我說:『不能,瞿曇!』
English version: 'Gotama!' I asked, 'If there is superior fasting and asceticism, do the Niganthas experience superior suffering at that time?' They answered me, 'Yes, Gotama!' 'If there is intermediate fasting and asceticism, do the Niganthas experience intermediate suffering at that time?' They answered me, 'Yes, Gotama!' 'If there is inferior fasting and asceticism, do the Niganthas experience inferior suffering at that time?' They answered me, 'Yes, Gotama!' This means that if the Niganthas have superior fasting and asceticism, they experience superior suffering; if they have intermediate fasting and asceticism, they experience intermediate suffering; if they have inferior fasting and asceticism, they experience inferior suffering. If the Niganthas have superior fasting and asceticism, they cease superior suffering; if they have intermediate fasting and asceticism, they cease intermediate suffering; if they have inferior fasting and asceticism, they cease inferior suffering. If they do this or do not do this, and cease extreme suffering and heavy suffering, then it should be known that the Niganthas are actually creating suffering in this life. However, the Niganthas are blinded by ignorance and entangled by ignorance, so they say this: 'All that people experience is because of past karma. If past karma is extinguished through asceticism, and no new karma is created, then all karma will end. After karma ends, suffering will end. After suffering ends, the end of suffering will be reached.' I asked them this, but I did not see the Niganthas able to answer me, 'Gotama! It is so, it is not so.' 'Furthermore,' I asked the Niganthas, 'Niganthas! If there is karma that results in pleasure, can that karma be transformed into suffering through fasting and asceticism?' They answered me, 'No, Gotama!' 'Niganthas! If there is karma that results in suffering, can that karma be transformed into pleasure through fasting and asceticism?' They answered me, 'No, Gotama!' 'Niganthas! If there is karma that results in immediate retribution, can that karma be transformed into future retribution through fasting and asceticism?' They answered me, 'No, Gotama!'
。瞿曇!』『諸尼干!若有後生報業,彼業寧可因斷、因苦行,轉作現法報耶?』彼答我言:『不也。瞿曇!』『諸尼干!若有不熟報業,彼業寧可因斷、因苦行,轉作熟報耶?』彼答我言:『不也。瞿曇!』『諸尼干!若有熟報業,彼業寧可因斷、因苦行,轉作異耶?』彼答我言:『不也。瞿曇!』『諸尼干!是為樂報業,彼業不可因斷、因苦行,轉作苦報。諸尼干!苦報業,彼業不可因斷、因苦行,轉作樂報。諸尼干!現法報業,彼業不可因斷、因苦行,轉作後生報。諸尼干!後生報業,彼業不可因斷、因苦行,轉作現法報。諸尼干!不熟業,彼業不可因斷、因苦行,轉作熟報。諸尼干!熟報業,彼業不可因斷、因苦行,轉作異者。以是故,諸尼干!虛妄方便,空斷無獲。』
「彼諸尼干便報我言:『瞿曇!我有尊師,名親子尼干,作如是說:「諸尼干!汝等若本作惡業,彼業皆可因此苦行而得滅盡,若今護身、口、意,因此不復更作惡業也。」』我復問彼諸尼乾曰:『汝等信尊師親子尼干,不疑惑耶?』彼答我言:『瞿曇!我信尊師親子尼干,無有疑惑
現代漢語譯本:『瞿曇!』『諸尼干!如果存在來世才受報的業,那麼這種業可以通過斷食和苦行,轉變為現世受報嗎?』他們回答我說:『不能,瞿曇!』『諸尼干!如果存在尚未成熟的業,那麼這種業可以通過斷食和苦行,轉變為成熟的業嗎?』他們回答我說:『不能,瞿曇!』『諸尼干!如果存在已經成熟的業,那麼這種業可以通過斷食和苦行,轉變為其他性質的業嗎?』他們回答我說:『不能,瞿曇!』『諸尼干!如果是樂報的業,那麼這種業不可能通過斷食和苦行,轉變為苦報。諸尼干!如果是苦報的業,那麼這種業不可能通過斷食和苦行,轉變為樂報。諸尼干!如果是現世受報的業,那麼這種業不可能通過斷食和苦行,轉變為來世受報。諸尼干!如果是來世受報的業,那麼這種業不可能通過斷食和苦行,轉變為現世受報。諸尼干!如果是不成熟的業,那麼這種業不可能通過斷食和苦行,轉變為成熟的業。諸尼干!如果是成熟的業,那麼這種業不可能通過斷食和苦行,轉變為其他性質的業。因此,諸尼干!這種方法是虛妄的,斷食和苦行是徒勞無功的。』 『那些尼干們回答我說:『瞿曇!我們有一位尊敬的老師,名叫親子尼干,他這樣說:「諸尼干!你們如果過去造作了惡業,那些業都可以通過這種苦行而得以滅盡,如果現在守護身、口、意,因此就不會再造作惡業了。」』我又問那些尼干們說:『你們相信你們的老師親子尼干,沒有疑惑嗎?』他們回答我說:『瞿曇!我們相信我們的老師親子尼干,沒有疑惑。』
English version: 'Gotama!' 'Niganthas! If there is karma that ripens in a future life, can that karma be transformed into karma that ripens in this very life through fasting and ascetic practices?' They answered me, 'No, Gotama!' 'Niganthas! If there is karma that has not yet ripened, can that karma be transformed into ripened karma through fasting and ascetic practices?' They answered me, 'No, Gotama!' 'Niganthas! If there is karma that has already ripened, can that karma be transformed into a different kind of karma through fasting and ascetic practices?' They answered me, 'No, Gotama!' 'Niganthas! If it is karma that leads to pleasant results, that karma cannot be transformed into karma that leads to unpleasant results through fasting and ascetic practices. Niganthas! If it is karma that leads to unpleasant results, that karma cannot be transformed into karma that leads to pleasant results through fasting and ascetic practices. Niganthas! If it is karma that ripens in this very life, that karma cannot be transformed into karma that ripens in a future life through fasting and ascetic practices. Niganthas! If it is karma that ripens in a future life, that karma cannot be transformed into karma that ripens in this very life through fasting and ascetic practices. Niganthas! If it is unripened karma, that karma cannot be transformed into ripened karma through fasting and ascetic practices. Niganthas! If it is ripened karma, that karma cannot be transformed into a different kind of karma through fasting and ascetic practices. Therefore, Niganthas! This method is false, and fasting and ascetic practices are futile.' 'Those Niganthas then replied to me, 'Gotama! We have a respected teacher named Nigantha Nataputta, who says this: 「Niganthas! If you have done evil deeds in the past, those deeds can all be extinguished through these ascetic practices, and if you now guard your body, speech, and mind, you will therefore not do any more evil deeds.」' I then asked those Niganthas, 'Do you believe your teacher Nigantha Nataputta, without any doubt?' They answered me, 'Gotama! We believe our teacher Nigantha Nataputta, without any doubt.'
。』我復語彼諸尼乾曰:『有五種法現世二報,信、樂、聞、念、見善觀,諸尼干!人自有虛妄言,是可信、可樂、可聞、可念、可見善觀耶?』彼答我言:『如是。瞿曇!』我復語彼諸尼乾曰:『是虛妄言,何可信,何可樂,何可聞,何可念,何可善觀?謂人自有虛妄言,有信、有樂、有聞、有念、有善觀。』
「若諸尼干作是說者,于如法中得五詰責,為可憎惡。云何為五?今此眾生所受苦樂皆因本作,若爾者,諸尼乾等本作惡業。所以者何?因彼故,諸尼干於今受極重苦,是謂尼干第一可憎惡。複次,眾生所受苦樂皆因合會,若爾者,諸尼乾等本惡合會。所以者何?因彼故,諸尼干於今受極重苦,是謂尼干第二可憎惡。複次,眾生所受苦樂皆因為命,若爾者,諸尼揵等本惡為命。所以者何?因彼故,諸尼干於今受極重苦,是謂尼干第三可憎惡。複次,眾生所受苦樂皆因見也。若爾者,諸尼乾等本有惡見。所以者何?因彼故,諸尼干於今受極重苦,是謂尼干第四可憎惡。複次,眾生所受苦樂皆因尊祐造,若爾者,諸尼乾等本惡尊祐。所以者何?因彼故,諸尼干於今受極重苦,是謂尼干第五可憎惡
現代漢語譯本:我反問那些尼乾子說:『有五種法在現世能帶來兩種果報,即信仰、喜好、聽聞、憶念和善見。尼乾子們!如果一個人自己說的是虛妄之言,這能被認為是可信的、可喜好的、可聽聞的、可憶念的、可善見的嗎?』他們回答我說:『是的,喬達摩!』我再次對那些尼乾子說:『既然是虛妄之言,又怎麼能被認為是可信的、可喜好的、可聽聞的、可憶念的、可善見的呢?如果一個人自己說的是虛妄之言,卻說自己有信仰、有喜好、有聽聞、有憶念、有善見。』 『如果那些尼乾子這樣說,在如法中會受到五種詰責,令人憎惡。哪五種呢?現在這些眾生所受的苦樂都是因為過去的作為,如果這樣,那麼尼乾子們過去就造了惡業。為什麼呢?因為那個原因,尼乾子們現在才遭受極大的痛苦,這是尼乾子第一種令人憎惡之處。其次,眾生所受的苦樂都是因為因緣和合,如果這樣,那麼尼乾子們過去就和合了惡因。為什麼呢?因為那個原因,尼乾子們現在才遭受極大的痛苦,這是尼乾子第二種令人憎惡之處。再次,眾生所受的苦樂都是因為生命,如果這樣,那麼尼乾子們過去就爲了生命而作惡。為什麼呢?因為那個原因,尼乾子們現在才遭受極大的痛苦,這是尼乾子第三種令人憎惡之處。再次,眾生所受的苦樂都是因為見解,如果這樣,那麼尼乾子們過去就有惡見。為什麼呢?因為那個原因,尼乾子們現在才遭受極大的痛苦,這是尼乾子第四種令人憎惡之處。再次,眾生所受的苦樂都是因為尊祐所造,如果這樣,那麼尼乾子們過去就尊祐了惡。為什麼呢?因為那個原因,尼乾子們現在才遭受極大的痛苦,這是尼乾子第五種令人憎惡之處。
English version: I then asked those Niganthas, 『There are five things that bring two kinds of results in this life: faith, delight, hearing, mindfulness, and seeing with good understanding. Niganthas! If a person speaks falsely, can that be considered believable, delightful, hearable, mindful, or seen with good understanding?』 They answered me, 『Yes, Gotama!』 I then said to those Niganthas, 『Since it is false speech, how can it be considered believable, delightful, hearable, mindful, or seen with good understanding? If a person speaks falsely, yet claims to have faith, delight, hearing, mindfulness, and good understanding.』 『If those Niganthas say this, they will receive five reproaches in accordance with the Dharma, which are detestable. What are the five? The suffering and happiness that beings experience now are all due to past actions. If that is the case, then the Niganthas committed evil deeds in the past. Why? Because of that, the Niganthas are now experiencing extreme suffering. This is the first detestable thing about the Niganthas. Secondly, the suffering and happiness that beings experience are all due to the coming together of conditions. If that is the case, then the Niganthas had evil combinations in the past. Why? Because of that, the Niganthas are now experiencing extreme suffering. This is the second detestable thing about the Niganthas. Again, the suffering and happiness that beings experience are all due to life. If that is the case, then the Niganthas did evil for the sake of life in the past. Why? Because of that, the Niganthas are now experiencing extreme suffering. This is the third detestable thing about the Niganthas. Again, the suffering and happiness that beings experience are all due to views. If that is the case, then the Niganthas had evil views in the past. Why? Because of that, the Niganthas are now experiencing extreme suffering. This is the fourth detestable thing about the Niganthas. Again, the suffering and happiness that beings experience are all due to the creation of the honored one. If that is the case, then the Niganthas honored evil in the past. Why? Because of that, the Niganthas are now experiencing extreme suffering. This is the fifth detestable thing about the Niganthas.』
。若諸尼干因本所作惡業、惡合會、惡為命、惡見、惡尊祐,為惡尊祐所造,因彼故,諸尼干於今受極重苦,是謂因彼事故,諸尼乾等為可憎惡。
「我所自知、自覺法為汝說者,若沙門、梵志,若天、魔、梵及余世間皆無能伏,皆無能穢,皆無能制。云何我所自知、自覺法為汝說者,非為沙門、梵志,若天、魔、梵及余世間所能伏、所能穢、所能制?若有比丘捨身不善業,修身善業,舍口、意不善業,修口、意善業,彼于未來苦,便自知我無未來苦,如法得樂而不棄捨。彼或欲斷苦因,行欲,或欲斷苦因,行舍欲,彼若欲斷苦因,行欲者,即修其行欲,已斷者,苦便得盡。彼若欲斷苦因,行舍欲者,即修其行舍欲,已斷者,苦便得盡。若彼比丘便作是念:『隨所為、隨所行,不善法生而善法滅,若自斷苦,不善法滅而善法生,我今寧可自斷其苦。』便自斷苦。自斷苦已,不善法滅而善法生,不復斷苦。所以者何?比丘!本所為者,其義已成,若復斷苦,是處不然。
「比丘!猶如箭工用檢撓箭,其箭已直,不復用檢。所以者何?彼人本所為者,其事已成,若複用檢,是處不然。如是,比丘便作是念:『隨所為、隨所行,不善法生而善法滅,若自斷苦,不善法滅而善法生,我今寧可自斷其苦
現代漢語譯本:如果那些尼乾子因為他們過去所作的惡業、惡的結合、惡的謀生方式、惡見、以及所尊奉的邪惡導師,並因邪惡導師的教導而造作惡業,因此,這些尼乾子現在遭受極大的痛苦,這就是因為這些原因,尼乾子們是可憎惡的。 我所親自了解和覺悟的法,我為你們宣說,無論是沙門、婆羅門,還是天神、魔王、梵天以及其他世間眾生,都無法征服、玷污或控制它。我所親自了解和覺悟的法,我為你們宣說,怎麼會不能被沙門、婆羅門,天神、魔王、梵天以及其他世間眾生所征服、玷污或控制呢?如果有一位比丘捨棄身的不善業,修習身的善業;捨棄口和意的不善業,修習口和意的善業,那麼他對於未來的痛苦,就會自己知道自己沒有未來的痛苦,他會如法獲得快樂而不捨棄。他或者想要斷除痛苦的原因,而行於慾望;或者想要斷除痛苦的原因,而行於捨棄慾望。如果他想要斷除痛苦的原因,而行於慾望,那麼他就修習行於慾望,當他已經斷除痛苦的原因時,痛苦就會止息。如果他想要斷除痛苦的原因,而行於捨棄慾望,那麼他就修習行於捨棄慾望,當他已經斷除痛苦的原因時,痛苦就會止息。如果這位比丘這樣想:『隨著所作所為、所行所為,不善法生起而善法滅亡,如果我自我斷除痛苦,不善法就會滅亡而善法就會生起,我寧可自我斷除痛苦。』於是他就自我斷除痛苦。自我斷除痛苦之後,不善法滅亡而善法生起,他就不再斷除痛苦了。為什麼呢?比丘!因為他最初所要做的,其意義已經達成,如果再斷除痛苦,那就沒有道理了。 比丘!就像箭匠用工具矯正箭,當箭已經筆直時,就不再使用工具了。為什麼呢?因為他最初所要做的,其事情已經完成,如果再使用工具,那就沒有道理了。同樣,比丘這樣想:『隨著所作所為、所行所為,不善法生起而善法滅亡,如果我自我斷除痛苦,不善法就會滅亡而善法就會生起,我寧可自我斷除痛苦。』
English version: If those Niganthas, due to their past evil deeds, evil associations, evil livelihoods, evil views, and the evil teachers they venerate, and because of the teachings of those evil teachers, commit evil actions, therefore, these Niganthas now suffer extreme pain. It is because of these reasons that the Niganthas are detestable. The Dharma that I have personally understood and awakened to, I proclaim to you. Neither ascetics, Brahmins, gods, Mara, Brahma, nor any other beings in the world can conquer, defile, or control it. How can the Dharma that I have personally understood and awakened to, which I proclaim to you, not be conquered, defiled, or controlled by ascetics, Brahmins, gods, Mara, Brahma, or any other beings in the world? If a bhikkhu abandons unwholesome bodily actions and cultivates wholesome bodily actions; abandons unwholesome verbal and mental actions and cultivates wholesome verbal and mental actions, then regarding future suffering, he will know for himself that he has no future suffering. He will attain happiness in accordance with the Dharma and not abandon it. He may either wish to eliminate the cause of suffering by engaging in desire, or wish to eliminate the cause of suffering by engaging in the abandonment of desire. If he wishes to eliminate the cause of suffering by engaging in desire, then he cultivates engaging in desire, and when he has eliminated the cause of suffering, suffering will cease. If he wishes to eliminate the cause of suffering by engaging in the abandonment of desire, then he cultivates engaging in the abandonment of desire, and when he has eliminated the cause of suffering, suffering will cease. If this bhikkhu thinks: 'With whatever I do and whatever I engage in, unwholesome states arise and wholesome states perish. If I self-inflict suffering, unwholesome states will perish and wholesome states will arise. I would rather self-inflict suffering.' Then he self-inflicts suffering. After self-inflicting suffering, unwholesome states perish and wholesome states arise, and he no longer inflicts suffering. Why is that? Bhikkhu, because what he initially set out to do has achieved its purpose. If he were to inflict suffering again, it would be unreasonable. Bhikkhu, just as an arrow maker uses a tool to straighten an arrow, and when the arrow is straight, he no longer uses the tool. Why is that? Because what he initially set out to do has been accomplished. If he were to use the tool again, it would be unreasonable. Similarly, a bhikkhu thinks: 'With whatever I do and whatever I engage in, unwholesome states arise and wholesome states perish. If I self-inflict suffering, unwholesome states will perish and wholesome states will arise. I would rather self-inflict suffering.'
。』便自斷苦。自斷苦已,不善法滅而善法生,不復斷苦。所以者何?本所為者,其義已成,若復斷苦,是處不然。比丘!猶如有人愛念、染著、敬待彼女,然彼女人更與他語,共相問訊,往來止宿,其人因是身心生苦惱,極憂戚耶?」
比丘答曰:「如是。世尊!所以者何?其人于女愛念、染著,極相敬待,而彼女人更與他語,共相問訊,往來止宿,其人身心何得不生苦惱憂戚?」
「比丘!若使其人而作是念:『我唐愛念、敬待彼女,然彼女人更與他語,共相問訊,往來止宿,我今寧可因自苦自憂故,斷為彼女愛念、染著耶?』其人於後因自苦自憂故,便斷為彼女愛念、染著。若彼女人故與他語,共相問訊,往來止宿,其人於後,身心寧當復生苦惱,極憂戚耶?」
比丘答曰:「不也。世尊!所以者何?其人于女無復愛念、染著之情,若彼女人故與他語,共相問訊,往來止宿,若使其人因此身心復生苦惱極憂戚者,是處不然。」
「如是,比丘便作是念:『隨所為、隨所行,不善法生而善法滅,若自斷其苦,不善法滅而善法生,我今寧可自斷其苦。』便自斷苦。自斷苦已,不善法滅而善法生,不復斷苦。所以者何?本所為者,其義已成,若復斷苦,是處不然
現代漢語譯本:'於是便自行斷除苦惱。自行斷除苦惱后,不善之法滅除而善法生起,便不再斷除苦惱。這是為什麼呢?因為原本想要達成的目的已經實現,如果再斷除苦惱,這是不合理的。比丘們!就像有個人愛戀、執著、恭敬地對待一個女子,然而那個女子卻和其他人交談,互相問候,來往住宿,那個人因此身心產生苦惱,極其憂愁嗎?' 比丘回答說:'是的,世尊!這是為什麼呢?因為那個人對那個女子愛戀、執著,極其恭敬地對待她,而那個女子卻和其他人交談,互相問候,來往住宿,那個人身心怎麼可能不產生苦惱憂愁呢?' '比丘們!如果那個人這樣想:『我白白地愛戀、恭敬地對待那個女子,然而那個女子卻和其他人交談,互相問候,來往住宿,我現在難道可以因為自己痛苦憂愁,就斷除對那個女子的愛戀、執著嗎?』那個人之後因為自己痛苦憂愁,便斷除了對那個女子的愛戀、執著。如果那個女子仍然和其他人交談,互相問候,來往住宿,那個人之後,身心還會再次產生苦惱,極其憂愁嗎?' 比丘回答說:'不會的,世尊!這是為什麼呢?因為那個人對那個女子已經沒有愛戀、執著的情感了,如果那個女子仍然和其他人交談,互相問候,來往住宿,如果那個人因此身心再次產生苦惱極其憂愁,這是不合理的。' '同樣地,比丘應當這樣想:『隨著所作所為,隨著所行所為,不善之法生起而善之法滅除,如果自行斷除苦惱,不善之法滅除而善之法生起,我現在應當自行斷除苦惱。』於是便自行斷除苦惱。自行斷除苦惱后,不善之法滅除而善之法生起,便不再斷除苦惱。這是為什麼呢?因為原本想要達成的目的已經實現,如果再斷除苦惱,這是不合理的。'
English version: 'Then he himself cuts off suffering. Having cut off suffering, unwholesome states cease and wholesome states arise, and he no longer cuts off suffering. Why is that? Because what was originally intended has been accomplished; if he were to cut off suffering again, that would not be appropriate. Monks! It is like a man who loves, is attached to, and respects a certain woman. But that woman speaks with another man, exchanges greetings, and stays with him. Does that man, because of this, experience suffering in body and mind, and extreme sorrow?' The monks replied: 'Yes, Venerable Sir. Why is that? Because that man loves, is attached to, and greatly respects that woman, and yet that woman speaks with another man, exchanges greetings, and stays with him. How could that man not experience suffering and sorrow in body and mind?' 'Monks! If that man were to think: 『I have vainly loved and respected that woman, and yet that woman speaks with another man, exchanges greetings, and stays with him. Should I now, because of my own suffering and sorrow, cut off my love and attachment for that woman?』 Then, because of his own suffering and sorrow, he would cut off his love and attachment for that woman. If that woman were still to speak with another man, exchange greetings, and stay with him, would that man then experience suffering and extreme sorrow in body and mind?' The monks replied: 'No, Venerable Sir. Why is that? Because that man no longer has love or attachment for that woman. If that woman were still to speak with another man, exchange greetings, and stay with him, if that man were to experience suffering and extreme sorrow in body and mind because of this, that would not be appropriate.' 'Likewise, monks, one should think: 『According to what is done, according to what is practiced, unwholesome states arise and wholesome states cease. If by cutting off suffering, unwholesome states cease and wholesome states arise, I should now cut off suffering.』 Then he himself cuts off suffering. Having cut off suffering, unwholesome states cease and wholesome states arise, and he no longer cuts off suffering. Why is that? Because what was originally intended has been accomplished; if he were to cut off suffering again, that would not be appropriate.'
「彼復作是念:『若有所因,斷其苦者,我便已斷,然我于欲猶故未斷,我今寧可求斷于欲。』便求斷欲。彼為斷欲故,獨住遠離,在無事處,或至樹下空安靜處,山巖石室、露地穰積,或至林中,或在冢間,彼已在無事處,或至樹下空安靜處,敷尼師檀,結加趺坐,正身正愿,反念不向,斷除貪伺,心無有諍,見他財物諸生活具不起貪伺,欲令我得,彼于貪伺凈除其心。如是,瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔,斷疑、度惑,于諸善法無有猶豫,彼于疑惑凈除其心。
「彼已斷此五蓋、心穢、慧羸,離欲、離惡不善之法,至得第四禪成就游。彼得如是定,心清凈,無穢無煩,柔軟善住,得不動心,趣向漏盡智通作證,彼便知此苦如真,知此苦習、知此苦滅、知此苦滅道如真,亦知此漏如真,知此漏習、知此漏滅、知此漏滅道如真,彼如是知、如是見已,則欲漏心解脫,有漏、無明漏心解脫,解脫已,便知解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。
「如來如是正心解脫,得五稱譽,如法無諍,可愛可敬。云何為五?彼眾生者,所受苦樂皆因本作,若爾者,如來本有妙業,因彼故,如來於今聖無漏樂,寂靜止息而得樂覺,是謂如來得第一稱譽
現代漢語譯本:他再次這樣想:『如果有什麼原因可以斷除痛苦,我就已經斷除了,然而我對慾望仍然沒有斷除,我現在寧可尋求斷除慾望。』於是便尋求斷除慾望。他爲了斷除慾望,獨自居住在遠離塵囂的地方,在無事之處,或者到樹下空曠安靜的地方,山巖石室、露天草堆,或者到樹林中,或者在墳墓之間。他已經在無事之處,或者到樹下空曠安靜的地方,鋪上尼師檀,結跏趺坐,端正身體,立定志向,反省內心而不向外馳求,斷除貪慾的伺察,心中沒有爭鬥,看到他人的財物和生活用品不起貪慾的伺察,想要據爲己有,他將貪慾的伺察從心中清除。像這樣,嗔恚、睡眠、掉舉後悔,斷除疑惑、度脫迷惑,對於各種善法沒有猶豫,他將疑惑從心中清除。 他已經斷除了這五蓋、心的污穢、智慧的衰弱,遠離慾望、遠離不善的法,直至獲得第四禪的成就而安住。他獲得這樣的禪定,心清凈,沒有污穢沒有煩惱,柔軟安住,獲得不動的心,趨向于漏盡智通的作證。他便如實地知道這是苦,知道這是苦的生起,知道這是苦的滅盡,知道這是導致苦滅盡的道路,也如實地知道這是煩惱,知道這是煩惱的生起,知道這是煩惱的滅盡,知道這是導致煩惱滅盡的道路。他這樣知道、這樣看見之後,就從慾望的煩惱中解脫,從存在的煩惱和無明的煩惱中解脫。解脫之後,便知道自己已經解脫,生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,不再受後有,如實地知道。 如來這樣正確地解脫了心,獲得五種稱讚,如法而沒有爭論,可愛可敬。哪五種呢?那些眾生所承受的苦樂都是因為過去的行為所致,如果是這樣,如來過去有美好的業,因為那個原因,如來現在獲得聖潔無漏的快樂,寂靜止息而得到快樂的感覺,這就是如來獲得的第一種稱讚。
English version: 'He then thought: 『If there were a cause for the cessation of suffering, I would have already ceased it. However, I have not yet ceased my desire. I would rather seek to cease desire now.』 So he sought to cease desire. For the sake of ceasing desire, he lived alone in seclusion, in a place of quiet, or under a tree in a quiet place, in a mountain cave, a rock chamber, an open-air heap of straw, or in a forest, or among tombs. Having found a quiet place, or under a tree in a quiet place, he spread out a mat, sat cross-legged, straightened his body, and set his intention, turning his mind inward and not outward. He abandoned the craving of greed, his mind was without strife, and seeing the possessions and necessities of others, he did not give rise to the craving of greed, desiring to possess them. He purified his mind of the craving of greed. Likewise, he purified his mind of anger, drowsiness, restlessness, and regret, and he abandoned doubt and overcame confusion. He had no hesitation regarding good things, and he purified his mind of doubt. Having abandoned these five hindrances, the defilements of the mind, and the weakness of wisdom, he was detached from desire and from unwholesome things, until he attained and abided in the fourth jhana. Having attained such concentration, his mind was pure, without defilement or agitation, pliable, well-established, and he attained an unshakeable mind, directed towards the realization of the knowledge of the destruction of the outflows. He then truly knew this is suffering, knew this is the arising of suffering, knew this is the cessation of suffering, and knew this is the path leading to the cessation of suffering. He also truly knew these are the outflows, knew this is the arising of the outflows, knew this is the cessation of the outflows, and knew this is the path leading to the cessation of the outflows. Having known and seen thus, his mind was liberated from the outflow of desire, from the outflow of existence, and from the outflow of ignorance. Having been liberated, he knew he was liberated. Birth was exhausted, the holy life was lived, what had to be done was done, there was no more coming into existence, he knew this truly. The Tathagata, having thus rightly liberated his mind, obtains five praises, in accordance with the Dharma and without dispute, lovable and venerable. What are the five? The suffering and happiness that beings experience are all due to their past actions. If that is so, the Tathagata had excellent past actions, and because of that, the Tathagata now experiences holy, undefiled happiness, a peaceful cessation, and a feeling of happiness. This is the first praise that the Tathagata obtains.
。複次,眾生所受苦樂皆因合會,若爾者,如來本妙合會,因彼故,如來於今聖無漏樂,寂靜止息而得樂覺,是謂如來得第二稱譽。複次,眾生所受苦樂皆因為命,若爾者,如來本妙為命,因彼故,如來於今聖無漏樂,寂靜止息而得樂覺,是謂如來得第三稱譽。複次,眾生所受苦樂皆因見也,若爾者,如來本妙見,因彼故,如來於今聖無漏樂,寂靜止息而得樂覺,是謂如來得第四稱譽。複次,眾生所受苦樂皆因尊祐造,若爾者,如來本妙尊祐,因彼故,如來於今聖無漏樂,寂靜止息而得樂覺,是謂如來得第五稱譽。是為如來本妙業、妙合會、妙為命、妙見、妙尊祐,為妙尊祐所造,因彼故,如來於今聖無漏樂,寂靜止息而得樂覺,以此事故,如來於今得五稱譽。
「有五因緣,心生憂苦。云何為五?淫慾纏者,因淫慾纏故,心生憂苦。如是,瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑惑纏者,因疑惑纏故,心生憂苦。是謂五因緣,心生憂苦。有五因緣,心滅憂苦。云何為五?若淫慾纏者,因淫慾纏故,心生憂苦,除淫慾纏已,憂苦便滅,因淫慾纏,心生憂苦,于現法中而得究竟,無煩無熱,常住不變,是聖所知、聖所見
現代漢語譯本:再者,眾生所感受的苦樂都因聚合而生,如果這樣,如來本有的微妙聚合,因為這個緣故,如來如今獲得聖潔無漏的快樂,寂靜止息而感受到快樂,這就是如來獲得的第二種稱譽。再者,眾生所感受的苦樂都因為生命,如果這樣,如來本有的微妙生命,因為這個緣故,如來如今獲得聖潔無漏的快樂,寂靜止息而感受到快樂,這就是如來獲得的第三種稱譽。再者,眾生所感受的苦樂都因為見解,如果這樣,如來本有的微妙見解,因為這個緣故,如來如今獲得聖潔無漏的快樂,寂靜止息而感受到快樂,這就是如來獲得的第四種稱譽。再者,眾生所感受的苦樂都因為尊貴的庇佑所造,如果這樣,如來本有的微妙尊貴庇佑,因為這個緣故,如來如今獲得聖潔無漏的快樂,寂靜止息而感受到快樂,這就是如來獲得的第五種稱譽。這就是如來本有的微妙業、微妙聚合、微妙生命、微妙見解、微妙尊貴庇佑,以及由微妙尊貴庇佑所造,因為這些緣故,如來如今獲得聖潔無漏的快樂,寂靜止息而感受到快樂,因此,如來如今獲得五種稱譽。 有五種因緣,心會產生憂愁和痛苦。哪五種呢?被淫慾纏縛的人,因為淫慾的纏縛,心中產生憂愁和痛苦。同樣,被嗔恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑惑纏縛的人,因為疑惑的纏縛,心中產生憂愁和痛苦。這五種因緣,使心中產生憂愁和痛苦。有五種因緣,心能滅除憂愁和痛苦。哪五種呢?如果被淫慾纏縛的人,因為淫慾的纏縛,心中產生憂愁和痛苦,當他去除淫慾的纏縛后,憂愁和痛苦便會滅除,因為淫慾的纏縛,心中產生憂愁和痛苦,在現世中就能達到究竟,沒有煩惱和熱惱,常住不變,這是聖者所知、聖者所見的。
English version: Furthermore, the suffering and joy experienced by sentient beings all arise from aggregation. If this is so, the Buddha's original subtle aggregation, because of that, the Buddha now attains the holy, undefiled joy, and by being tranquil and still, experiences joy. This is called the second praise the Buddha receives. Furthermore, the suffering and joy experienced by sentient beings all arise from life. If this is so, the Buddha's original subtle life, because of that, the Buddha now attains the holy, undefiled joy, and by being tranquil and still, experiences joy. This is called the third praise the Buddha receives. Furthermore, the suffering and joy experienced by sentient beings all arise from views. If this is so, the Buddha's original subtle view, because of that, the Buddha now attains the holy, undefiled joy, and by being tranquil and still, experiences joy. This is called the fourth praise the Buddha receives. Furthermore, the suffering and joy experienced by sentient beings all arise from the creation of noble blessings. If this is so, the Buddha's original subtle noble blessings, because of that, the Buddha now attains the holy, undefiled joy, and by being tranquil and still, experiences joy. This is called the fifth praise the Buddha receives. These are the Buddha's original subtle actions, subtle aggregation, subtle life, subtle view, subtle noble blessings, and what is created by subtle noble blessings. Because of these, the Buddha now attains the holy, undefiled joy, and by being tranquil and still, experiences joy. For this reason, the Buddha now receives five praises. There are five causes for the mind to generate sorrow and suffering. What are the five? One who is bound by lustful desires, because of the binding of lustful desires, the mind generates sorrow and suffering. Likewise, one who is bound by anger, sleepiness, restlessness and regret, and doubt, because of the binding of doubt, the mind generates sorrow and suffering. These are the five causes for the mind to generate sorrow and suffering. There are five causes for the mind to extinguish sorrow and suffering. What are the five? If one is bound by lustful desires, because of the binding of lustful desires, the mind generates sorrow and suffering, when one removes the binding of lustful desires, sorrow and suffering will be extinguished. Because of the binding of lustful desires, the mind generates sorrow and suffering, in this very life one can attain ultimate peace, without affliction or agitation, remaining constant and unchanging. This is what the sages know and see.
。如是,瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔,若疑惑纏者,因疑惑纏故,心生憂苦,除疑惑纏已,憂苦便滅,因疑惑纏,心生憂苦,于現法中而得究竟,無煩無熱,常住不變,是聖所知、聖所見。是謂五因緣,心滅憂苦。
「複次,更有現法而得究竟,無煩無熱,常住不變,是聖所知、聖所見。云何更有現法而得究竟,無煩無熱,常住不變,是聖所知、聖所見?謂八支聖道,正見乃至正定,是為八。是謂更有現法而得究竟,無煩無熱,常住不變,是聖所知、聖所見。」
尼干經第九竟(三千六百)
(二〇)中阿含業相應品波羅牢經第十(初一日誦)
一時,佛游拘麗瘦,與大比丘眾俱,往至北村,住北村北尸攝和林中。
爾時,波羅牢伽彌尼聞沙門瞿曇釋種子,舍釋宗族,出家學道,游拘麗瘦,與大比丘眾俱,至此北村,住北村北尸攝和林中。彼沙門瞿曇有大名稱,周聞十方,沙門瞿曇如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐。彼於此世,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,自知自覺,自作證成就游,彼若說法,初善、中善、竟亦善,有義有文,具足清凈,顯現梵行
現代漢語譯本:如此,當被嗔恚、睡眠、掉悔或疑惑纏繞時,因疑惑的纏縛,心中會產生憂愁和痛苦。當去除疑惑的纏縛后,憂愁和痛苦便會消失。因疑惑的纏縛,心中產生憂愁和痛苦,在當下就能達到究竟的解脫,沒有煩惱和熱惱,常住不變,這是聖者所知、聖者所見的境界。這就是導致心滅憂苦的五種因緣。 現代漢語譯本:『此外,還有一種在當下就能達到究竟解脫的方法,沒有煩惱和熱惱,常住不變,這是聖者所知、聖者所見的境界。』如何才能在當下達到究竟解脫,沒有煩惱和熱惱,常住不變,這是聖者所知、聖者所見的境界呢?那就是八支聖道,即正見乃至正定,這八項。這就是在當下就能達到究竟解脫,沒有煩惱和熱惱,常住不變,這是聖者所知、聖者所見的境界。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀如是說。那些比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 現代漢語譯本:尼干經第九結束(三千六百字) 現代漢語譯本:(二〇)中阿含業相應品波羅牢經第十(初一日誦) 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀在拘麗瘦游化,與眾多比丘一同前往北村,住在北村北邊的尸攝和林中。 現代漢語譯本:當時,波羅牢伽彌尼聽說沙門瞿曇,釋迦族的後裔,捨棄釋迦宗族,出家修道,在拘麗瘦游化,與眾多比丘一同來到北村,住在北村北邊的尸攝和林中。那位沙門瞿曇有很大的名聲,傳遍十方。沙門瞿曇是如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成就、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊。他於此世間,包括天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門,從人到天,都能自知自覺,親自證悟併成就,他所說的法,初善、中善、后善,有意義有文理,具足清凈,顯現梵行。
English version: Thus, when one is entangled by anger, sleepiness, restlessness and remorse, or doubt, because of the entanglement of doubt, the mind will generate sorrow and suffering. When the entanglement of doubt is removed, sorrow and suffering will cease. Because of the entanglement of doubt, the mind generates sorrow and suffering, and in the present life, one can attain ultimate liberation, without affliction or heat, remaining constant and unchanging. This is what the sages know and see. These are the five causes and conditions for the cessation of sorrow and suffering in the mind. English version: 'Furthermore, there is another way to attain ultimate liberation in the present life, without affliction or heat, remaining constant and unchanging. This is what the sages know and see.' How can one attain ultimate liberation in the present life, without affliction or heat, remaining constant and unchanging, which is what the sages know and see? It is through the Noble Eightfold Path, namely, right view to right concentration, these eight. This is how one can attain ultimate liberation in the present life, without affliction or heat, remaining constant and unchanging, which is what the sages know and see.' English version: The Ninth Nigantha Sutra ends (3600 words). English version: (20) The Tenth Parala Sutra of the Karma-Related Section of the Middle Agama (recited on the first day). English version: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Koliya, and together with a large assembly of monks, went to the northern village, and stayed in the Shishapa forest north of the northern village. English version: At that time, Parala Gamini heard that the ascetic Gotama, a descendant of the Shakya clan, having abandoned his Shakya lineage, had left home to practice the Way, was traveling in Koliya, and together with a large assembly of monks, had come to this northern village, and was staying in the Shishapa forest north of the northern village. That ascetic Gotama had great renown, spreading throughout the ten directions. The ascetic Gotama is the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One, perfect in knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Guide of Men, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, known as the Buddha, the Blessed One. In this world, including gods, demons, Brahma, ascetics, and Brahmins, from humans to gods, he knows and understands for himself, having personally realized and attained enlightenment. His teachings are good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with meaning and words, complete and pure, revealing the holy life.
。若見如來、無所著、等正覺,尊重禮拜,供養承事者,快得善利。彼作是念:「我應往見沙門瞿曇!禮事供養。」
波羅牢伽彌尼聞已,從北村出,北行至尸攝和林,欲見世尊禮事供養。波羅牢伽彌尼遙見世尊在林樹間,端正姝好,猶星中月,光曜暐曄,晃若金山,相好具足,威神巍巍,諸根寂定,無有蔽礙,成就調御,息心靜默。波羅牢伽彌尼遙見佛已,前至佛所,共相問訊,卻坐一面,白世尊曰:「我聞沙門瞿曇知幻是幻,瞿曇!若如是說,沙門瞿曇知幻是幻,彼不謗毀沙門瞿曇耶?彼說真實耶?彼說是法耶?彼說法如法耶?于如法無過、無難詰耶?」
世尊答曰:「伽彌尼!若如是說,沙門瞿曇知幻是幻,彼不謗毀沙門瞿曇!彼說真實,彼說是法,彼說法如法,於法無過,亦無難詰。所以者何?伽彌尼!我知彼幻,我自非幻。」
波羅牢說曰:「彼沙門、梵志所說真實,而我不信彼說沙門瞿曇知幻是幻。」
世尊告曰:「伽彌尼!若知幻者,即是幻耶?」
波羅牢白曰:「如是。世尊!如是。善逝!」
世尊告曰:「伽彌尼!汝莫自誤,謗毀於我,若謗毀我者,則便自損。有諍有犯,聖賢所惡,而得大罪。所以者何?此實不如汝之所說
現代漢語譯本:如果見到如來、無所執著、正等覺者,尊重禮拜,供養侍奉,會很快得到善利。他這樣想:『我應該去拜見沙門瞿曇!禮敬供養。』 波羅牢伽彌尼聽到后,從北村出發,向北走到尸攝和林,想要拜見世尊,禮敬供養。波羅牢伽彌尼遠遠地看見世尊在樹林間,端正美好,如同星辰中的月亮,光芒閃耀,如同金山一般,相貌美好,威嚴神聖,諸根寂靜,沒有遮蔽障礙,成就調御,內心平靜沉默。波羅牢伽彌尼遠遠地看見佛后,走到佛的面前,互相問候,然後坐在一旁,對世尊說:『我聽說沙門瞿曇知道幻象是幻象。瞿曇!如果這樣說,沙門瞿曇知道幻象是幻象,那麼他不是在誹謗沙門瞿曇嗎?他說的真實嗎?他說的符合法嗎?他說法如法嗎?在如法上沒有過失、沒有難詰嗎?』 世尊回答說:『伽彌尼!如果這樣說,沙門瞿曇知道幻象是幻象,那麼他不是在誹謗沙門瞿曇!他說的真實,他說的符合法,他說法如法,在法上沒有過失,也沒有難詰。為什麼呢?伽彌尼!我知道那個幻象,我自己不是幻象。』 波羅牢說:『那些沙門、婆羅門所說的真實,但是我不相信他們說沙門瞿曇知道幻象是幻象。』 世尊告訴他:『伽彌尼!如果知道幻象的人,就是幻象嗎?』 波羅牢回答說:『是的。世尊!是的。善逝!』 世尊告訴他:『伽彌尼!你不要自己誤解,誹謗我,如果誹謗我,就會自己受損。會有爭論和過錯,這是聖賢所厭惡的,會得到大罪。為什麼呢?這實際上不像你所說的那樣。』
English version: If one sees the Tathagata, the unattached, the perfectly enlightened one, and respects, bows, offers, and serves him, one will quickly gain good benefits. He thought, 'I should go to see the Shramana Gautama! Pay respects and make offerings.' Having heard this, Pararogaminī departed from the north village and traveled north to the Shishapa forest, desiring to see the World Honored One, pay respects, and make offerings. Pararogaminī saw the World Honored One from afar, in the midst of the trees, upright and beautiful, like the moon among the stars, his radiance shining brightly, like a golden mountain, with perfect features, majestic and divine, his senses tranquil, without obstruction, accomplished in self-control, his mind peaceful and silent. Having seen the Buddha from afar, Pararogaminī approached the Buddha, exchanged greetings, and sat to one side, saying to the World Honored One, 'I have heard that the Shramana Gautama knows that illusion is illusion. Gautama! If it is said that the Shramana Gautama knows that illusion is illusion, is he not slandering the Shramana Gautama? Is he speaking the truth? Is he speaking in accordance with the Dharma? Is his teaching in accordance with the Dharma? Is there no fault or difficulty in his teaching of the Dharma?' The World Honored One replied, 'Gaminī! If it is said that the Shramana Gautama knows that illusion is illusion, then he is not slandering the Shramana Gautama! He is speaking the truth, he is speaking in accordance with the Dharma, his teaching is in accordance with the Dharma, there is no fault in the Dharma, nor is there any difficulty. Why is that? Gaminī! I know that illusion, I myself am not illusion.' Pararogaminī said, 'What those Shramanas and Brahmins say is true, but I do not believe that they say the Shramana Gautama knows that illusion is illusion.' The World Honored One said, 'Gaminī! If one knows illusion, is one illusion?' Pararogaminī replied, 'Yes, World Honored One! Yes, Well-Gone One!' The World Honored One said, 'Gaminī! Do not misunderstand yourself and slander me, for if you slander me, you will harm yourself. There will be disputes and offenses, which are detested by the wise and will lead to great sin. Why is that? This is not actually as you say.'
。伽彌尼!汝聞拘麗瘦有卒耶?」
答曰:「聞有。」
「伽彌尼!于意云何?拘麗瘦用是卒為?」
答曰:「瞿曇!通使殺賊,為此事故,拘麗瘦畜是卒也。」
「伽彌尼!于意云何?拘麗瘦卒為有戒,為無戒耶?」
答曰:「瞿曇!若世間有無戒德者,無過拘麗瘦卒。所以者何?拘麗瘦卒極犯禁戒,唯行惡法。」
復問:「伽彌尼!汝如是見、如是知,我不問汝,若他問汝:『波羅牢伽彌尼知拘麗瘦卒極犯禁戒,唯行惡法,因此事故,波羅牢伽彌尼極犯禁戒,唯行惡法。』若如是說,為真說耶?」
答曰:「非也。瞿曇。所以者何?拘麗瘦卒見異、欲異,所愿亦異,拘麗瘦卒極犯禁戒,唯行惡法;我極持戒,不行惡法。」
復問:「伽彌尼!汝知拘麗瘦卒極犯禁戒,唯行惡法,然不以此為犯禁戒,唯行惡法;如來何以不得知幻而自非幻?所以者何?我知幻,知幻人,知幻報,知斷幻。伽彌尼!我亦知殺生,知殺生人,知殺生報,知斷殺生。伽彌尼!我知不與取,知不與取人,知不與取報,知斷不與取。伽彌尼!我知妄言,知妄言人,知妄言報,知斷妄言。伽彌尼!我如是知、如是見
現代漢語譯本:『伽彌尼!你聽說拘麗瘦的士兵死了嗎?』 回答說:『聽說了。』 『伽彌尼!你認為如何?拘麗瘦用這些士兵做什麼?』 回答說:『瞿曇!用來傳遞訊息、殺敵,因此,拘麗瘦才養這些士兵。』 『伽彌尼!你認為如何?拘麗瘦的士兵是有戒律的,還是沒有戒律的?』 回答說:『瞿曇!如果世間有無戒德的人,沒有比拘麗瘦的士兵更甚的了。為什麼呢?拘麗瘦的士兵極度違反禁戒,只做惡事。』 又問:『伽彌尼!你這樣看、這樣知道,我不問你,如果別人問你:『波羅牢伽彌尼知道拘麗瘦的士兵極度違反禁戒,只做惡事,因此,波羅牢伽彌尼也極度違反禁戒,只做惡事。』如果這樣說,說的是真的嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,瞿曇。為什麼呢?拘麗瘦的士兵有不同的見解、不同的慾望,所希望的也不同,拘麗瘦的士兵極度違反禁戒,只做惡事;我極度持戒,不做惡事。』 又問:『伽彌尼!你知道拘麗瘦的士兵極度違反禁戒,只做惡事,但你不會因此也違反禁戒,只做惡事;如來為什麼不能知道幻象而自己不是幻象呢?為什麼呢?我知道幻象,知道製造幻象的人,知道幻象的報應,知道斷除幻象。伽彌尼!我也知道殺生,知道殺生的人,知道殺生的報應,知道斷除殺生。伽彌尼!我知道不予取,知道不予取的人,知道不予取的報應,知道斷除不予取。伽彌尼!我知道妄語,知道妄語的人,知道妄語的報應,知道斷除妄語。伽彌尼!我這樣知道、這樣看見』
English version: 'Gamini! Have you heard that the soldiers of Koliya are dead?' He replied, 'I have heard.' 'Gamini! What do you think? What does Koliya use these soldiers for?' He replied, 'Gautama! To send messages and kill enemies, that is why Koliya keeps these soldiers.' 'Gamini! What do you think? Are Koliya's soldiers disciplined or undisciplined?' He replied, 'Gautama! If there are undisciplined people in the world, none are worse than Koliya's soldiers. Why? Koliya's soldiers extremely violate precepts and only do evil deeds.' He asked again, 'Gamini! You see and know this, I am not asking you, but if others ask you: 'Paraloka Gamini knows that Koliya's soldiers extremely violate precepts and only do evil deeds, therefore, Paraloka Gamini also extremely violates precepts and only does evil deeds.' If they say this, is it true?' He replied, 'No, Gautama. Why? Koliya's soldiers have different views, different desires, and different wishes. Koliya's soldiers extremely violate precepts and only do evil deeds; I am extremely disciplined and do not do evil deeds.' He asked again, 'Gamini! You know that Koliya's soldiers extremely violate precepts and only do evil deeds, but you do not therefore violate precepts and only do evil deeds; why can't the Tathagata know illusion and not be illusion himself? Why? I know illusion, I know the person who creates illusion, I know the retribution of illusion, and I know the cessation of illusion. Gamini! I also know killing, I know the person who kills, I know the retribution of killing, and I know the cessation of killing. Gamini! I know taking what is not given, I know the person who takes what is not given, I know the retribution of taking what is not given, and I know the cessation of taking what is not given. Gamini! I know false speech, I know the person who speaks falsely, I know the retribution of false speech, and I know the cessation of false speech. Gamini! I know and see in this way.'
。若有作是說,沙門瞿曇知幻即是幻者,彼未斷此語,聞彼心、彼欲、彼愿、彼聞、彼念、彼觀,如屈伸臂頃,命終生地獄中。」
波羅牢伽彌尼聞已,怖懼戰慄,身毛皆豎,即從坐起,頭面禮足,長跪叉手,白世尊曰:「悔過,瞿曇!自昔,善逝!如愚、如癡、如不定、如不善。所以者何?我以妄說沙門瞿曇是幻,唯愿瞿曇受我悔過,見罪發露,我悔過已,護不更作。」
世尊告曰:「如是,伽彌尼!汝實如愚、如癡、如不定、如不善。所以者何?謂汝于如來、無所著、等正覺妄說是幻。然汝能悔過,見罪發露,護不更作。如是,伽彌尼!若有悔過,見罪發露,護不更作者,則長養聖法而無有失。」
於是,波羅牢伽彌尼叉手向佛,白世尊曰:「瞿曇!有一沙門梵志如是見、如是說:『若有殺生者,彼一切即于現法受報,因彼生憂苦;若有不與取、妄言,彼一切即于現法受報,因彼生憂苦。』沙門瞿曇!于意云何?」
世尊告曰:「伽彌尼!我今問汝,隨所解答。伽彌尼!于意云何?若村邑中,或有一人,頭冠華鬘,雜香涂身,而作倡樂,歌舞自娛,唯作女妓,歡樂如王
現代漢語譯本:如果有人這樣說,沙門瞿曇認為幻象就是幻象,他沒有斷絕這種說法,瞭解他的心、他的慾望、他的願望、他的聽聞、他的念頭、他的觀察,就像屈伸手臂的瞬間,命終後會墮入地獄。 波羅牢伽彌尼聽了之後,感到恐懼戰慄,渾身汗毛都豎了起來,立刻從座位上站起來,頭面觸地禮拜佛足,長跪合掌,對世尊說:『我懺悔,瞿曇!從前,善逝!我像愚人、像癡人、像不定的人、像不善的人。為什麼呢?因為我妄說沙門瞿曇是幻象,只願瞿曇接受我的懺悔,看到我的罪過並公開承認,我懺悔之後,會守護不再犯。』 世尊告訴他說:『是的,伽彌尼!你確實像愚人、像癡人、像不定的人、像不善的人。為什麼呢?因為你對如來、無所執著、等正覺的佛妄說是幻象。然而你能懺悔,看到自己的罪過並公開承認,守護不再犯。這樣,伽彌尼!如果有人懺悔,看到自己的罪過並公開承認,守護不再犯,那麼就會增長聖法而沒有過失。』 於是,波羅牢伽彌尼合掌向佛,對世尊說:『瞿曇!有一位沙門婆羅門這樣認為、這樣說:『如果有人殺生,他的一切都會在現世受到報應,因此產生憂愁痛苦;如果有人偷盜、妄語,他的一切都會在現世受到報應,因此產生憂愁痛苦。』沙門瞿曇!您認為如何?』 世尊告訴他說:『伽彌尼!我現在問你,你隨自己的理解回答。伽彌尼!你認為如何?如果村莊里,有一個人,頭戴花環,身上塗著各種香料,表演歌舞,自娛自樂,只做女妓,像國王一樣快樂』
English version: If someone were to say, 『The ascetic Gotama knows that illusion is illusion,』 and he has not abandoned this view, knowing his mind, his desires, his wishes, his hearing, his thoughts, his observations, as quickly as one bends and stretches an arm, upon death he will be reborn in hell. Upon hearing this, Pararogaminī was terrified and trembled, the hairs on her body stood on end. She immediately rose from her seat, bowed her head to the Buddha』s feet, knelt with palms together, and said to the Blessed One, 『I repent, Gotama! In the past, O Blessed One! I was like a fool, like an idiot, like an unstable person, like an unwholesome person. Why is that? Because I falsely said that the ascetic Gotama was an illusion. I only wish that Gotama would accept my repentance, see my fault and acknowledge it publicly. After repenting, I will guard against doing it again.』 The Blessed One said, 『Indeed, Gāminī! You are truly like a fool, like an idiot, like an unstable person, like an unwholesome person. Why is that? Because you falsely said that the Tathagata, the unattached, the fully enlightened one, was an illusion. However, you are able to repent, see your fault and acknowledge it publicly, and guard against doing it again. Thus, Gāminī! If someone repents, sees their fault and acknowledges it publicly, and guards against doing it again, then they will cultivate the holy Dharma without loss.』 Then, Pararogaminī, with palms together, faced the Buddha and said, 『Gotama! There is an ascetic or Brahmin who holds this view and says this: 『If someone kills, all of it will be immediately requited in this life, causing sorrow and suffering; if someone steals or lies, all of it will be immediately requited in this life, causing sorrow and suffering.』 What do you think about this, ascetic Gotama?』 The Blessed One said, 『Gāminī! I will now ask you, answer as you understand. Gāminī! What do you think? If in a village, there is a person who wears garlands, anoints themselves with various perfumes, performs music and dances, entertains themselves, only acts as a courtesan, and is as happy as a king』
。若有問者:『此人本作何等,今頭冠華鬘,雜香涂身,而作倡樂,歌舞自娛,唯作女妓,歡樂如王?』或有答者:『此人為王殺害怨家,王歡喜已,即與賞賜,是以此人頭冠華鬘,雜香涂身,而作倡樂,歌舞自娛,唯作女妓,歡樂如王。』伽彌尼!汝如是見、如是聞不?」
答曰:「見也。瞿曇!已聞、當聞。」
「伽彌尼!又復見王收捕罪人,反縛兩手,打鼓唱令,出南城門,坐高標下而梟其首。若有問者:『此人何罪,為王所戮?』或有答者:『此人枉殺王家無過之人,是以王教如是行刑。』伽彌尼!汝如是見、如是聞不?」
「伽彌尼!若有沙門、梵志如是見、如是說:『若有殺生,彼一切即于現法受報,因彼生憂苦。』彼為真說,為虛妄言?」
答曰:「妄言。瞿曇!」
「若彼說妄言,汝意信不?」
答曰:「不信也。瞿曇!」
世尊嘆曰:「善哉!善哉!伽彌尼!」復問:「伽彌尼!于意云何?若村邑中,或有一人,頭冠華鬘,雜香涂身,而作倡樂,歌舞自娛,唯作女妓,歡樂如王
現代漢語譯本:如果有人問:『這個人原本是什麼身份,現在卻頭戴華麗的冠冕,身涂各種香料,表演歌舞,自娛自樂,像個女藝人一樣,快樂得如同國王?』或許有人回答:『這個人是因為替國王殺死了仇敵,國王很高興,就賞賜了他,所以他才頭戴華麗的冠冕,身涂各種香料,表演歌舞,自娛自樂,像個女藝人一樣,快樂得如同國王。』伽彌尼!你是否見過、聽過這樣的事?」 回答說:『我見過。瞿曇!我聽過,也將會聽到。』 『伽彌尼!你又看到國王抓捕罪犯,反綁雙手,敲鼓示眾,從南門押出去,在高高的刑臺上斬首。如果有人問:『這個人犯了什麼罪,被國王處死?』或許有人回答:『這個人枉殺國王家無辜的人,所以國王下令對他執行這樣的刑罰。』伽彌尼!你是否見過、聽過這樣的事?』 『伽彌尼!如果有沙門、婆羅門這樣認為、這樣說:『如果有人殺生,他就會在今生受到報應,因此產生憂愁痛苦。』他們說的是真話,還是假話?』 回答說:『是假話。瞿曇!』 『如果他們說的是假話,你相信嗎?』 回答說:『我不相信。瞿曇!』 世尊讚歎說:『好啊!好啊!伽彌尼!』又問:『伽彌尼!你認為如何?如果村子裡,有個人頭戴華麗的冠冕,身涂各種香料,表演歌舞,自娛自樂,像個女藝人一樣,快樂得如同國王

Have you seen or heard of such things?』 The answer was: 『I have seen it, Gautama! I have heard it, and I will hear it.』 『Gamini! Furthermore, you have seen the king capture criminals, bind their hands behind their backs, parade them with drums, take them out of the south gate, and behead them on a high platform. If someone were to ask: 『What crime did this person commit, that they were executed by the king?』 Perhaps someone might answer: 『This person unjustly killed an innocent member of the king's household, so the king ordered this punishment.』 Gamini! Have you seen or heard of such things?』 『Gamini! If there are ascetics or Brahmins who believe and say: 『If someone kills, they will receive retribution in this very life, and therefore experience sorrow and suffering.』 Are they speaking the truth, or are they speaking falsely?』 The answer was: 『They are speaking falsely, Gautama!』 『If they are speaking falsely, do you believe them?』 The answer was: 『I do not believe them, Gautama!』 The World-Honored One praised, saying: 『Well done! Well done, Gamini!』 He then asked: 『Gamini! What do you think?

English version: If someone were to ask: 'What was this person originally, that now they wear ornate headdresses, smear themselves with various fragrances, perform songs and dances, entertain themselves, and are as joyful as a king, like a female entertainer?' Perhaps someone would answer: 'This person is a prostitute, skilled in jesting and teasing. They use false words to please the king, and when the king is pleased, he gives them rewards. That is why this person can wear ornate headdresses, smear themselves with various fragrances, perform songs and dances, entertain themselves, and be as joyful as a king, like a female entertainer.' Gamini! Have you seen or heard of such things?' The answer was: 'I have seen it. Gautama! I have heard it, and I will hear it.' 'Gamini! You also see the king arresting criminals, beating them to death with sticks, putting them in wooden cages, carrying them in open carts, taking them out of the north gate, and throwing them into ditches. If someone were to ask: 'What crime did this person commit that the king killed them?' Perhaps someone would answer: 'This person lied before the king. They deceived the king with false words, so the king ordered them to be treated this way.' Gamini! Have you seen or heard of such things?' 'Gamini! What do you think? If there are ascetics or Brahmins who think and say: 'If someone lies, they will receive retribution in this very life, and therefore experience sorrow and suffering.' Are they speaking the truth, or are they speaking falsely?' The answer was: 'Falsely. Gautama!' 'If they are speaking falsely, do you believe them?' The answer was: 'I do not believe them. Gautama!' The World-Honored One praised: 'Well done! Well done! Gamini!' Then, Pararoga Gamini immediately rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, clasped his hands together towards the Buddha, and said to the World-Honored One: 'It is truly amazing! What Gautama has said is extremely profound, skillful in analogies, and skillful in argumentation!'
。瞿曇!我于北村中造作高堂,敷設床褥,安立水器,然大明燈,若有精進沙門、梵志來宿高堂,我隨其力,供給所須。有四論士,所見各異,更相違反,來集高堂。于中論士如是見、如是說,無施無齋,無有咒說,無善惡業,無善惡業報,無此世彼世,無父無母,世無真人往至善處,善去善向,此世彼世,自知自覺,自作證成就游。
「第二論士而有正見,反第一論士所見、所知,如是見、如是說,有施有齋,亦有咒說,有善惡業,有善惡業報,有此世彼世,有父有母,世有真人往至善處,善去善向,此世彼世,自知自覺,自作證成就游。
「第三論士如是見、如是說,自作、教作,自斷、教斷,自煮、教煮,愁煩憂戚,捶胸懊惱,啼哭愚癡,殺生、不與取、邪淫、妄言、飲酒,穿墻開藏,至他巷劫,害村壞邑,破城滅國;作如是者,為不作惡。又以鐵輪利如剃刀,彼於此地一切眾生,於一日中斫截斬剉,剝裂剬割,作一肉段,一分一積,因是無惡業,因是無惡業報。恒水南岸殺、斷、煮去,恒水北岸施與、作齋、咒說而來,因是無罪無福,因是無罪福報。施與、調御、守護、攝持、稱譽、饒益,惠施、愛言、利及等利,因是無福,因是無福報
現代漢語譯本:瞿曇啊!我在北村建造高大的房屋,鋪設床褥,安置水器,點亮明燈。如果有精進的沙門或婆羅門來我的高堂住宿,我會盡力供給他們所需。有四位論士,他們的見解各不相同,互相矛盾,來到我的高堂。其中一位論士這樣認為、這樣說:沒有佈施,沒有齋戒,沒有咒語,沒有善惡業,沒有善惡業報,沒有今生來世,沒有父親母親,世上沒有真正的人能夠到達善處,行善去往善處,今生來世,自己知道,自己覺悟,自己作證而成就遊歷。 第二位論士持有正確的見解,與第一位論士的見解和認知相反,他這樣認為、這樣說:有佈施,有齋戒,也有咒語,有善惡業,有善惡業報,有今生來世,有父親母親,世上有真正的人能夠到達善處,行善去往善處,今生來世,自己知道,自己覺悟,自己作證而成就遊歷。 第三位論士這樣認為、這樣說:自己做,教別人做;自己斷,教別人斷;自己煮,教別人煮;愁煩憂慮,捶胸懊惱,啼哭愚癡;殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語、飲酒;穿墻破洞,到別人家搶劫,危害村莊,破壞城鎮,攻破城池,滅亡國家;做這些事,不算作惡。又用像剃刀一樣鋒利的鐵輪,在一天之內把這地方的所有眾生砍殺、斬斷、剝皮、割裂,做成一塊塊肉,一份份堆積,因此沒有惡業,因此沒有惡業報。恒河南岸殺戮、斬斷、烹煮,恒河北岸佈施、齋戒、唸咒,因此沒有罪過,沒有福報。佈施、調御、守護、攝持、稱讚、饒益、惠施、愛語、利益和同等利益,因此沒有福報,因此沒有福報報應。
English version: O Gotama! In the northern village, I have constructed a high hall, laid out bedding, set up water vessels, and lit bright lamps. If any diligent ascetics or Brahmins come to stay in my high hall, I will provide them with whatever they need to the best of my ability. There are four debaters, each with different views, contradicting each other, who have come to my high hall. Among them, one debater holds this view and says this: there is no giving, no fasting, no incantations, no good or bad deeds, no consequences of good or bad deeds, no this life or the next, no father or mother, and no real person in the world who can reach a good place, go to a good place by doing good, in this life or the next, knowing for oneself, awakening for oneself, and achieving and wandering by self-realization. The second debater holds the correct view, contrary to the views and knowledge of the first debater, and holds this view and says this: there is giving, there is fasting, there are also incantations, there are good and bad deeds, there are consequences of good and bad deeds, there is this life and the next, there are fathers and mothers, and there are real people in the world who can reach a good place, go to a good place by doing good, in this life or the next, knowing for oneself, awakening for oneself, and achieving and wandering by self-realization. The third debater holds this view and says this: doing oneself, teaching others to do; cutting oneself, teaching others to cut; cooking oneself, teaching others to cook; being sorrowful and worried, beating one's chest in distress, crying foolishly; killing, stealing, committing adultery, lying, drinking alcohol; breaking through walls and opening hidden places, robbing in other people's alleys, harming villages, destroying towns, attacking cities, and destroying countries; doing these things is not considered evil. Also, with an iron wheel as sharp as a razor, he cuts, chops, peels, and tears all living beings in this place in one day, making pieces of meat, piling them up, and therefore there is no evil deed, and therefore there is no consequence of evil deeds. Killing, cutting, and cooking on the south bank of the Ganges, and giving, fasting, and chanting on the north bank of the Ganges, therefore there is no sin, and no merit. Giving, controlling, protecting, holding, praising, benefiting, bestowing, speaking lovingly, and providing equal benefits, therefore there is no merit, and therefore there is no consequence of merit.
「第四論士而有正見,反第三論士所知、所見,如是見、如是說,自作、教作,自斷、教斷,自煮、教煮,愁煩憂戚,捶胸懊惱,啼哭愚癡,殺生、不與取、邪淫、妄言、飲酒,穿墻開藏,至他巷劫,害村壞邑,破城滅國;作如是者,實為作惡。又以鐵輪利如剃刀,彼於此地一切眾生,於一日中斫截斬剉,剝裂剬割,作一肉段,一分一積,因是有惡業,因是有惡業報。恒水南岸殺、斷、煮去,恒水北岸施與、作齋、咒說而來,因是有罪有福,因是有罪福報。施與、調御、守護、攝持、稱譽、饒益,惠施、愛言、利及等利,因是有福,因是有福報。瞿曇!我聞是已,便生疑惑:此沙門、梵志,誰說真實,誰說虛妄?」
世尊告曰:「伽彌尼!汝莫生疑惑。所以者何?因有疑惑便生猶豫。伽彌尼!汝自無凈智,為有後世,為無後世?伽彌尼!汝又無凈智,所作為惡,所作為善?伽彌尼!有法之定,名曰遠離,汝因此定,可得正念,可得一心。如是,汝于現法便斷疑惑,而得升進
『第四種論者持有正確的見解,與第三種論者所知、所見相反,他們這樣見、這樣說,自己做、教別人做,自己斷除、教別人斷除,自己烹煮、教別人烹煮,導致愁煩憂戚,捶胸懊惱,啼哭愚癡,殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語、飲酒,穿墻開鎖,到其他巷子搶劫,危害村莊、破壞城鎮、攻破城池、滅亡國家;做這些事的人,實際上是在作惡。又比如用像剃刀一樣鋒利的鐵輪,在一天之內將此地一切眾生砍斫斬斷,剝皮割肉,做成一塊塊肉段,一份份堆積,這樣做會有惡業,會有惡業的報應。在恒河南岸殺戮、斷肢、烹煮,在恒河北岸施捨、做齋、誦咒,這樣做會有罪有福,會有罪福的報應。施捨、調御、守護、攝持、稱讚、饒益,給予、愛語、利益和同等利益,這樣做會有福,會有福報。瞿曇!我聽了這些,就產生了疑惑:這些沙門、婆羅門,誰說的是真話,誰說的是假話?』 世尊告訴他說:『伽彌尼!你不要產生疑惑。為什麼呢?因為有了疑惑就會產生猶豫。伽彌尼!你沒有清凈的智慧,不知道有沒有來世?伽彌尼!你也沒有清凈的智慧,不知道什麼是作惡,什麼是行善?伽彌尼!有一種法是確定的,叫做遠離,你通過這種禪定,可以獲得正念,可以獲得一心。這樣,你就能在現世斷除疑惑,並且得到提升。』
'The fourth kind of debater holds a correct view, contrary to what the third kind of debater knows and sees. They see and say thus, doing it themselves and teaching others to do it, cutting off themselves and teaching others to cut off, cooking themselves and teaching others to cook, leading to sorrow, grief, lamentation, beating the breast, foolish weeping, killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, drinking alcohol, breaking through walls to open hidden places, robbing in other alleys, harming villages, destroying towns, breaking cities, and destroying countries. Those who do such things are actually doing evil. Furthermore, imagine using an iron wheel as sharp as a razor, and in one day, chopping, cutting, and slicing all living beings in this place, peeling their skin, cutting their flesh, making pieces of meat, and piling them up. Doing this would create bad karma, and there would be retribution for bad karma. Killing, dismembering, and cooking on the south bank of the Ganges River, while giving alms, performing rituals, and chanting mantras on the north bank of the Ganges River, would result in both sin and merit, and there would be retribution for both sin and merit. Giving, controlling, protecting, holding, praising, benefiting, bestowing, speaking kindly, providing benefits and equal benefits, would result in merit, and there would be retribution for merit. Gautama! Having heard these things, I have become doubtful: which of these ascetics and Brahmins speaks the truth, and which speaks falsehood?' The World-Honored One said, 'Gamini! Do not be doubtful. Why? Because doubt leads to hesitation. Gamini! You do not have pure wisdom to know whether there is a next life or not. Gamini! You also do not have pure wisdom to know what is evil and what is good. Gamini! There is a certain law called detachment. Through this meditation, you can attain right mindfulness and one-pointedness of mind. Thus, you can dispel doubt in this present life and achieve progress.'
於是,波羅牢伽彌尼復從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白世尊曰:「瞿曇!云何法定,名曰遠離,令我因此可得正念,可得一心,如是我于現法便斷疑惑,而得升進?」
世尊告曰:「伽彌尼!多聞聖弟子離殺斷殺,斷不與取、邪淫、妄言,至斷邪見,得正見,彼于晝日教田作耕稼,至暮放息,入室坐定,過夜曉時而作是念:『我離殺斷殺,斷不與取、邪淫、妄言,至斷邪見,得正見。』彼便自見,我斷十惡業道,念十善業道。彼自見斷十惡業道,念十善業道已,便生歡悅,生歡悅已,便生於喜,生於喜已,便止息身,止息身已,便身覺樂,身覺樂已,便得一心。伽彌尼!多聞聖弟子得一心已,則心與慈俱,遍滿一方成就游。如是,二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與慈俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。彼作是念:『若有沙門、梵志如是見、如是說,無施無齋,無有咒說,無善惡業,無善惡業報,無此世彼世,無父無母,世無真人往至善處,善去善向,此世彼世,自知自覺,自作證成就游。若彼沙門、梵志所說真實者,我不犯世怖與不怖,常當慈愍一切世間,我心不與眾生共諍,無濁歡悅。我今得無上人上之法,升進得安樂居,謂遠離法定
於是,波羅牢伽彌尼再次從座位上起身,袒露右肩,雙手合十向佛陀行禮,稟告世尊說:『瞿曇!什麼樣的法被稱作遠離,能使我因此獲得正念,獲得一心,從而使我能在當下就斷除疑惑,並得到提升呢?』 世尊開示說:『伽彌尼!博學多聞的聖弟子遠離殺生並斷除殺生,斷除不予而取、邪淫、妄語,直至斷除邪見,獲得正見。他們在白天教導人們耕種田地,直到傍晚休息,進入房間靜坐,在夜晚過去黎明到來時,他們會這樣思考:『我遠離殺生並斷除殺生,斷除不予而取、邪淫、妄語,直至斷除邪見,獲得正見。』他們便會自我察覺,我已斷除十種惡業之道,憶念十種善業之道。他們自我察覺已斷除十種惡業之道,憶念十種善業之道后,便會心生歡喜,心生歡喜后,便會產生喜悅,產生喜悅后,便會使身體平靜下來,身體平靜下來后,便會感受到身體的快樂,感受到身體的快樂后,便會獲得一心。伽彌尼!博學多聞的聖弟子獲得一心后,便會心懷慈愛,充滿一方併成就遊行。如此,二三四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心懷慈愛,沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有嗔怒,沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,無量善修,充滿一切世間併成就遊行。他們會這樣思考:『如果有沙門、婆羅門這樣見解、這樣宣說,認為沒有佈施,沒有齋戒,沒有咒語,沒有善惡業,沒有善惡業報,沒有此世彼世,沒有父親母親,世上沒有真人前往善處,善去善向,此世彼世,自己知道自己覺悟,自己作證併成就遊行。』如果那些沙門、婆羅門所說的是真實的,我不會犯世間的恐懼與不恐懼,我應當常常慈悲憐憫一切世間,我的心不與眾生爭鬥,沒有污濁的歡喜。我現在獲得了無上之人所擁有的至高之法,提升並獲得安樂的居所,這就是所謂的遠離之法。』
Then, Pola-roka-gamini rose again from his seat, bared his right shoulder, and with his hands clasped together, bowed to the Buddha, and said to the Blessed One: 'Gautama! What is the Dharma that is called detachment, which enables me to attain right mindfulness and one-pointedness, so that I can dispel doubts in the present moment and make progress?' The Blessed One replied: 'Gamini! A well-learned noble disciple abstains from killing and has abandoned killing, has abandoned taking what is not given, sexual misconduct, false speech, and even abandoned wrong views, and has attained right views. During the day, they teach people to cultivate the fields, and in the evening, they rest, enter their room, and sit in meditation. When the night has passed and dawn arrives, they think: 『I have abstained from killing and have abandoned killing, have abandoned taking what is not given, sexual misconduct, false speech, and even abandoned wrong views, and have attained right views.』 They then realize, 『I have abandoned the ten paths of evil deeds and remember the ten paths of good deeds.』 Having realized that they have abandoned the ten paths of evil deeds and remember the ten paths of good deeds, they feel joy, and having felt joy, they experience delight, and having experienced delight, they calm their body, and having calmed their body, they feel bodily pleasure, and having felt bodily pleasure, they attain one-pointedness. Gamini! When a well-learned noble disciple attains one-pointedness, their mind is filled with loving-kindness, pervading one direction and achieving liberation. Likewise, in the second, third, and fourth directions, above and below, they pervade all, their mind filled with loving-kindness, without fetters, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world and achieving liberation. They think: 『If there are ascetics or Brahmins who hold such views and say that there is no giving, no fasting, no incantations, no good or evil deeds, no rewards for good or evil deeds, no this world or the next, no father or mother, that there are no real people in the world who go to good places, who go well and head well, in this world and the next, who know for themselves, are aware for themselves, and achieve liberation through their own realization.』 If what those ascetics or Brahmins say is true, I will not commit worldly fears or non-fears, I should always have compassion for all the world, my mind will not contend with sentient beings, and there will be no impure joy. I have now attained the supreme Dharma of the supreme person, have progressed and attained a peaceful abode, which is called the Dharma of detachment.'
。彼沙門、梵志所說,不是不非。』不是不非已,得內心止。伽彌尼!是謂法定,名曰遠離,汝因此定,可得正念,可得一心,如是汝于現法便斷疑惑,而得升進。
「複次,伽彌尼!多聞聖弟子離殺斷殺,斷不與取、邪淫、妄言,至斷邪見,得正見,彼于晝日教田作耕稼,至暮放息,入室坐定,過夜曉時而作是念:『我離殺斷殺,斷不與取、邪淫、妄言,至斷邪見,得正見。』彼便自見,我斷十惡業道,念十善業道。彼自見斷十惡業道,念十善業道已,便生歡悅,生歡悅已,便生於喜,生於喜已,便止息身,止息身已,便身覺樂,身覺樂已,便得一心。伽彌尼!多聞聖弟子得一心已,則心與悲俱,遍滿一方成就游。如是,二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與悲俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。彼作是念:『若沙門、梵志如是見、如是說,有施有齋,亦有咒說,有善惡業,有善惡業報,有此世彼世,有父有母,世有真人往至善處,善去善向,此世彼世,自知自覺,自作證成就游。若彼沙門、梵志所說真實者,我不犯世怖與不怖,常當慈愍一切世間,我心不與眾生共諍,無濁歡悅。我得無上人上之法,升進得安樂居,謂遠離法定。彼沙門、梵志所說不是不非
現代漢語譯本:『那些沙門和婆羅門所說的,既不是肯定也不是否定。』當『既不是肯定也不是否定』的想法產生后,內心便會平靜下來。伽彌尼!這就是所謂的法理,名為遠離。你因此而入定,便能獲得正念,達到一心不亂。這樣,你就能在當下消除疑惑,並獲得提升。 現代漢語譯本:『再者,伽彌尼!博學的聖弟子遠離殺生,斷絕殺生;斷絕不予而取、邪淫、妄語,直至斷絕邪見,獲得正見。他們在白天教導人們耕種,直到傍晚才休息。他們進入房間,坐下來入定,在夜晚過去,黎明到來時,他們會這樣想:『我遠離殺生,斷絕殺生;斷絕不予而取、邪淫、妄語,直至斷絕邪見,獲得正見。』他們會自我反省,發現自己斷絕了十種惡業,並憶念十種善業。當他們看到自己斷絕了十種惡業,並憶念十種善業時,便會感到歡喜。感到歡喜后,便會產生喜悅。產生喜悅后,身體便會平靜下來。身體平靜下來后,便會感受到身體的快樂。感受到身體的快樂后,便會達到一心不亂。伽彌尼!博學的聖弟子達到一心不亂后,心便會與慈悲同在,充滿一方,成就遊行。同樣,二方、三方、四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心與慈悲同在,沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒,沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,極其深遠,無量善修,充滿一切世間,成就遊行。他們會這樣想:『如果沙門和婆羅門這樣認為、這樣說,認為有佈施,有齋戒,也有咒語,有善惡業,有善惡業報,有此世彼世,有父親有母親,世間有真人前往善處,善去善向,此世彼世,自己知道,自己覺悟,自己作證,成就遊行。如果那些沙門和婆羅門所說的是真實的,那麼我就不會犯世間的恐懼和不恐懼,我將永遠慈悲憐憫一切世間,我的心不會與眾生爭鬥,沒有污濁,充滿歡悅。我獲得了無上的人上之法,提升並獲得安樂的居所,這就是所謂的遠離法理。』那些沙門和婆羅門所說的,既不是肯定也不是否定。
English version: 'What those ascetics and Brahmins say is neither affirmation nor negation.' When the thought of 'neither affirmation nor negation' arises, the mind becomes still. Gamini! This is what is called the Dharma, named detachment. Because of this meditation, you can attain right mindfulness and achieve one-pointedness of mind. In this way, you can eliminate doubts in the present moment and achieve advancement. English version: 'Furthermore, Gamini! A learned noble disciple abandons killing, refrains from killing; abandons taking what is not given, sexual misconduct, false speech, and even abandons wrong views, attaining right views. During the day, they teach people to cultivate the fields, and they rest in the evening. They enter their room, sit down in meditation, and as the night passes and dawn arrives, they think: 『I have abandoned killing, refrained from killing; abandoned taking what is not given, sexual misconduct, false speech, and even abandoned wrong views, attaining right views.』 They reflect on themselves and find that they have abandoned the ten evil deeds and remember the ten good deeds. When they see that they have abandoned the ten evil deeds and remember the ten good deeds, they feel joy. After feeling joy, they experience delight. After experiencing delight, the body becomes calm. After the body becomes calm, they feel physical pleasure. After feeling physical pleasure, they achieve one-pointedness of mind. Gamini! When a learned noble disciple achieves one-pointedness of mind, their mind is filled with compassion, pervading one direction, and they walk in accomplishment. Similarly, in two, three, four directions, above, below, and all around, their mind is filled with compassion, without bonds, without hatred, without anger, without conflict, extremely vast, extremely profound, immeasurable good practice, pervading all the world, and they walk in accomplishment. They think: 『If the ascetics and Brahmins think and say this, that there is giving, there is fasting, there are also mantras, there are good and bad deeds, there are good and bad karmic results, there is this world and the next, there are fathers and mothers, there are real people in the world who go to good places, go well and head well, in this world and the next, knowing for themselves, realizing for themselves, witnessing for themselves, and walking in accomplishment. If what those ascetics and Brahmins say is true, then I will not commit worldly fear or non-fear, I will always be compassionate to all the world, my mind will not contend with beings, without impurity, full of joy. I have attained the supreme Dharma of the highest person, advanced and obtained a peaceful dwelling, which is called the Dharma of detachment.』 What those ascetics and Brahmins say is neither affirmation nor negation.
。』不是不非已,得內心止。伽彌尼!是謂法定,名曰遠離,汝因此定,可得正念,可得一心,如是于現法便斷疑惑,而得升進。
「複次,伽彌尼!多聞聖弟子離殺斷殺,斷不與取、邪淫、妄言,至斷邪見,得正見,彼于晝日教田作耕稼,至暮放息,入室坐定,過夜曉時而作是念:『我離殺斷殺,斷不與取、邪淫、妄言,至斷邪見,得正見。』彼便自見,我斷十惡業道,念十善業道。彼自見斷十惡業道,念十善業道已,便生歡悅,生歡悅已,便生於喜,生於喜已,便止息身,止息身已,便身覺樂,身覺樂已,便得一心。伽彌尼!多聞聖弟子得一心已,則心與喜俱,遍滿一方成就游。如是,二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與喜俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。彼作是念:『若有沙門、梵志如是見、如是說,自作、教作,自斷、教斷,自煮、教煮,愁煩憂戚,捶胸懊惱,啼哭愚癡,殺生、不與取、邪淫、妄言、飲酒,穿墻開藏,至他巷劫,害村壞邑,破城滅國;作如是者,實為不作惡。又以鐵輪利如剃刀,彼於此地一切眾生,於一日中斫截斬剉,剝裂剬割,作一肉段,一分一積,因是無惡業,因是無惡業報
現代漢語譯本:『不是』,『不』,『非』,『已』,這些概念都應在內心止息。伽彌尼!這被稱為法定的狀態,名為遠離。你因此而入定,便能獲得正念,獲得一心。如此,在當下就能斷除疑惑,並得以提升進步。 再者,伽彌尼!博聞的聖弟子遠離殺生,斷絕殺生;斷絕不予而取、邪淫、妄語,直至斷絕邪見,獲得正見。他們在白天教導人們耕田勞作,直到傍晚休息,進入房間坐禪入定。在過夜到黎明時,他們會這樣想:『我遠離殺生,斷絕殺生;斷絕不予而取、邪淫、妄語,直至斷絕邪見,獲得正見。』他們便會自我察覺,我已斷絕十種惡業之道,憶念十種善業之道。他們自我察覺已斷絕十種惡業之道,憶念十種善業之道后,便會心生歡悅。心生歡悅后,便會生起喜悅。生起喜悅后,便會止息身體的躁動。止息身體的躁動后,便會感受到身體的快樂。感受到身體的快樂后,便會獲得一心。伽彌尼!博聞的聖弟子獲得一心后,心便與喜悅同在,充滿一方,成就遊樂。如此,二方、三方、四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心與喜悅同在,沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有嗔恚,沒有爭鬥,極其廣闊,極其宏大,無量善修,充滿一切世間,成就遊樂。他們會這樣想:『如果有沙門、婆羅門這樣見解、這樣說法,自己做、教別人做,自己斷絕、教別人斷絕,自己烹煮、教別人烹煮,愁煩憂慮,捶胸懊惱,啼哭愚癡,殺生、不予而取、邪淫、妄語、飲酒,穿墻開盜,到別人巷子里搶劫,危害村莊,破壞城鎮,摧毀國家;做這些事的人,實際上不是在作惡。又用像剃刀一樣鋒利的鐵輪,將這片土地上的一切眾生,在一天之內砍殺斬剁,剝皮割肉,做成一塊塊肉段,一份份堆積,因此沒有惡業,因此沒有惡業的報應。』
English version: 『Not,』 『no,』 『non,』 『already,』 these concepts should cease within the mind. Gamini! This is called the established state, named detachment. Because of this, you enter samadhi, then you can obtain right mindfulness, obtain one-pointedness of mind. Thus, in the present moment, you can cut off doubts and be able to advance and progress. Furthermore, Gamini! The well-learned noble disciple abstains from killing, cuts off killing; cuts off taking what is not given, sexual misconduct, false speech, until cutting off wrong views, obtaining right views. During the day, they teach people to cultivate the fields, until evening when they rest, entering their room to sit in meditation. From night until dawn, they will think: 『I abstain from killing, cut off killing; cut off taking what is not given, sexual misconduct, false speech, until cutting off wrong views, obtaining right views.』 They will then perceive themselves, 『I have cut off the ten paths of evil deeds, and I remember the ten paths of good deeds.』 After they perceive that they have cut off the ten paths of evil deeds and remember the ten paths of good deeds, they will feel joy. After feeling joy, they will arise with delight. After arising with delight, they will cease the restlessness of the body. After ceasing the restlessness of the body, they will feel bodily pleasure. After feeling bodily pleasure, they will obtain one-pointedness of mind. Gamini! After the well-learned noble disciple obtains one-pointedness of mind, the mind will be with joy, filling one direction, achieving playfulness. Thus, two, three, four directions, the four intermediate directions, above and below, universally pervading everything, the mind is with joy, without fetters, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, extremely great, immeasurable good cultivation, filling all the world, achieving playfulness. They will think: 『If there are ascetics or Brahmins who have such views, who speak in this way, doing it themselves, teaching others to do it, cutting it off themselves, teaching others to cut it off, cooking it themselves, teaching others to cook it, with sorrow and worry, beating their chests in distress, crying in foolishness, killing, taking what is not given, sexual misconduct, false speech, drinking alcohol, breaking through walls to steal, robbing in other people』s alleys, harming villages, destroying towns, destroying countries; those who do these things are actually not doing evil.

現代漢語譯本:恒河南岸的殺戮、斷絕、烹煮行為,與恒河北岸的佈施、齋戒、咒語等行為,都不能導致無罪無福,也不能導致無罪福報。佈施、調御、守護、攝持、稱讚、饒益,以及惠施、愛語、利益等行為,也不能導致無福,也不能導致無福報。如果沙門、婆羅門所說的是真實的,那麼我既不犯世間的恐懼,也不犯不恐懼,我將永遠慈悲憐憫一切世間,我的心不與眾生爭鬥,沒有污濁的歡悅。我現在獲得了無上的人上之法,提升並獲得安樂的居所,這就是所謂的遠離法。』他對於沙門、婆羅門所說的既不肯定也不否定,既不肯定也不否定之後,內心獲得了平靜。伽彌尼!這就是所謂的法定,名為遠離,你因此禪定,可以獲得正念,可以獲得一心,這樣你就能在現世斷除疑惑,並獲得提升。 其次,伽彌尼!多聞的聖弟子遠離殺生並斷絕殺生,斷絕不與取、邪淫、妄語,直到斷絕邪見,獲得正見。他們在白天教導人們耕種,直到傍晚休息,進入房間坐禪,在過夜后的清晨會這樣想:『我遠離殺生並斷絕殺生,斷絕不與取、邪淫、妄語,直到斷絕邪見,獲得正見。』他們會自我觀察,我斷絕了十種惡業道,憶念十種善業道。他們自我觀察到斷絕了十種惡業道,憶念十種善業道后,便會產生歡悅,產生歡悅后,便會產生喜悅,產生喜悅后,便會使身體平靜,身體平靜后,便會感受到身體的快樂,感受到身體的快樂后,便會獲得一心。伽彌尼!多聞的聖弟子獲得一心后,心便與舍俱,遍滿一方成就游。如此,二三四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心與舍俱,沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有嗔恚,沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。
English version: The killing, cutting off, and cooking on the south bank of the Ganges, and the giving, fasting, and chanting on the north bank of the Ganges, do not lead to being without sin or merit, nor do they lead to the reward of being without sin or merit. Giving, taming, guarding, holding, praising, benefiting, and acts of generosity, loving speech, and advantageous actions do not lead to being without merit, nor do they lead to the reward of being without merit. If what the ascetics and Brahmins say is true, then I will neither commit worldly fear nor non-fear, I will always be compassionate to all the world, my heart will not contend with beings, and there will be no impure joy. I have now attained the supreme law of the highest person, advanced and attained a peaceful dwelling, which is called the law of detachment.』 He neither affirms nor denies what the ascetics and Brahmins say, and after neither affirming nor denying, he attains inner peace. Gamini! This is called the established law, named detachment, and through this meditation, you can attain right mindfulness, you can attain one-pointedness of mind, and thus you can in this present life cut off doubts and attain advancement. Furthermore, Gamini! The well-learned noble disciple abandons killing and refrains from killing, abandons taking what is not given, sexual misconduct, false speech, and up to abandoning wrong views, and attains right views. During the day, they teach people to cultivate the fields, and in the evening they rest, enter their room and sit in meditation, and in the morning after the night has passed, they think: 『I have abandoned killing and refrained from killing, abandoned taking what is not given, sexual misconduct, false speech, and up to abandoning wrong views, and attained right views.』 They observe themselves, 『I have abandoned the ten evil paths of action, and I remember the ten good paths of action.』 After observing that they have abandoned the ten evil paths of action and remembering the ten good paths of action, they generate joy, and after generating joy, they generate happiness, and after generating happiness, they calm their body, and after calming their body, they feel bodily pleasure, and after feeling bodily pleasure, they attain one-pointedness of mind. Gamini! After the well-learned noble disciple attains one-pointedness of mind, their mind is accompanied by equanimity, and they pervade one direction and dwell in it. Likewise, in the second, third, and fourth directions, above and below, they pervade all, their mind is accompanied by equanimity, without fetters, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world and dwelling in it.
。彼作是念:『若有沙門、梵志如是見、如是說,自作、教作,自斷、教斷,自煮、教煮,愁煩憂戚,捶胸懊惱,啼哭愚癡,殺生、不與取、邪淫、妄言、飲酒,穿墻開藏,至他巷劫,害村壞邑,破城滅國;作如是者,實為作惡。又以鐵輪利如剃刀,彼於此地一切眾生,於一日中斫截斬剉,剝裂剬割,作一肉段,一分一積,因是有惡業,因是有惡業報,恒水南岸殺、斷、煮去,恒水北岸施與、作齋、咒說而求,因是有罪有福,因是有罪福報。施與、調御、守護、攝持、稱譽、饒益,惠施、愛言、利及等利,因是有福,因是有福報。若沙門、梵志所說真實者,我不犯世怖與不怖,常當慈愍一切世間,我心不與眾生共諍,無濁歡悅,我得無上人上之法,升進得樂居,謂遠離法定。』彼于沙門、梵志所說不是不非,不是不非已,得內心止。伽彌尼!是謂法定,名曰遠離,汝因此定,可得正念,可得一心,如是于現法便斷疑惑,而得升進。」
說此法時,波羅牢伽彌尼遠塵離垢,諸法凈眼生。於是,波羅牢伽彌尼見法、得法,覺白凈法,斷疑度惑,更無餘尊,不復從他,無有猶豫,已住果證,於世尊法得無所畏
現代漢語譯本:他這樣想:『如果有沙門或婆羅門這樣見解、這樣說法,自己做、教唆別人做,自己殺、教唆別人殺,自己煮、教唆別人煮,因此而愁苦憂慮,捶胸頓足,啼哭愚癡,殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語、飲酒,穿墻破洞,到別人家搶劫,危害村莊,破壞城鎮,攻破城池,毀滅國家;做這些事的人,確實是在作惡。又或者用像剃刀一樣鋒利的鐵輪,在一天之內把這片土地上所有的眾生,砍、截、斬、剁,剝皮、割肉,做成一塊塊肉段,一份份堆積,因此而有惡業,因此而有惡業的報應,恒河南岸殺戮、斷肢、烹煮,恒河北岸施捨、做齋、唸咒祈求,因此而有罪有福,因此而有罪福的報應。施捨、調伏、守護、攝持、稱讚、饒益,佈施、愛語、利行、同事,因此而有福,因此而有福報。如果沙門或婆羅門所說的是真實的,我就不會犯世間的恐懼與不恐懼,我應當永遠慈悲憐憫一切世間,我的心不與眾生爭鬥,沒有污濁,充滿歡喜,我將獲得無上的人上之法,提升到安樂的境界,這就是所謂的遠離法。』他對沙門或婆羅門所說的既不肯定也不否定,既不肯定也不否定之後,內心獲得了平靜。伽彌尼啊!這就是所謂的法,名為遠離,你因此而入定,可以獲得正念,可以獲得一心,這樣在現世就能斷除疑惑,從而得到提升。」 在說這個法的時候,波羅牢伽彌尼遠離了塵垢,生起了對諸法清凈的法眼。於是,波羅牢伽彌尼見到了法,得到了法,覺悟了清凈的法,斷除了疑惑,度過了迷惑,不再有其他的尊者,不再依賴他人,沒有了猶豫,已經安住在果位,對於世尊的教法獲得了無所畏懼。
English version: He thought thus: 『If there are ascetics or brahmins who hold such views and speak thus, doing it themselves, and instructing others to do it, killing themselves, and instructing others to kill, cooking themselves, and instructing others to cook, thereby causing sorrow, grief, lamentation, beating of the breast, weeping, and foolishness, killing living beings, taking what is not given, engaging in sexual misconduct, speaking falsely, drinking intoxicants, breaking into walls, robbing in other people's alleys, harming villages, destroying towns, demolishing cities, and annihilating countries; those who do such things are truly doing evil. Or, with an iron wheel as sharp as a razor, they might chop, cut, slice, and mince all living beings on this earth in one day, flaying, tearing, and making them into pieces of flesh, one portion at a time, and thereby there is evil karma, and thereby there is the result of evil karma; on the south bank of the Ganges, they kill, dismember, and cook, while on the north bank of the Ganges, they give, make offerings, and chant prayers, seeking thereby, there is sin and merit, and thereby there is the result of sin and merit. Giving, taming, protecting, restraining, praising, benefiting, bestowing, speaking kindly, acting beneficially, and being in harmony, thereby there is merit, and thereby there is the result of merit. If what the ascetics or brahmins say is true, I will not commit worldly fear or non-fear, I should always be compassionate and merciful to all the world, my mind will not contend with living beings, without defilement, full of joy, I will obtain the supreme law of the highest person, ascend to a state of happiness, which is called the law of detachment.』 He neither affirmed nor denied what the ascetics or brahmins said, and after neither affirming nor denying, his mind attained peace. Gamini! This is called the law, named detachment, through this concentration, you can obtain right mindfulness, you can obtain one-pointedness of mind, and thus in this very life, you can cut off doubt, and thereby attain advancement.」 While this Dharma was being spoken, Pararoga Gamini was freed from dust and defilement, and the pure eye of the Dharma arose for him. Then, Pararoga Gamini saw the Dharma, attained the Dharma, awakened to the pure Dharma, cut off doubt, passed beyond confusion, had no other master, no longer relied on others, had no hesitation, had already abided in the fruit of attainment, and in the Dharma of the Blessed One, he obtained fearlessness.
。即從坐起,稽首佛足,白曰:「世尊!我今自歸佛、法及比丘眾,唯愿世尊受我為優婆塞,從今日始,終身自歸,乃至命盡。」

(二一)舍梨子相應品等心經第一
爾時,尊者舍梨子與比丘眾夜集講堂,因內結、外結,為諸比丘分別其義:「諸賢!世實有二種人。云何為二?有內結人阿那含,不還此間,有外結人非阿那含,還來此間。諸賢!云何內結人阿那含,不還此間?若有一人修習禁戒,無穿無缺,無穢無濁,極多無難,聖所稱譽,善修善具。彼因修習禁戒,無穿無缺,無穢無濁,極多無難,聖所稱譽,善修善具故,復學厭欲、無慾、斷欲
現代漢語譯本:他立即從座位上起身,向佛陀的腳行禮,說道:『世尊!我現在皈依佛、法以及比丘僧團,只願世尊接納我為優婆塞,從今天開始,終身皈依,直到生命結束。』 佛陀如是說。波羅牢伽彌尼以及眾比丘,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《波羅牢經》第十完(四千八百字) 《中阿含經》卷第四(一萬八百一十三字) 《中阿含經·業相應品》第二完(二萬一千零六十字)(初一日誦) 《中阿含經》卷第五 《舍梨子相應品》第三(有十一經)(初一日誦) 等心、得戒、智、師子,水喻、瞿尼、陀然梵,教病、拘絺、象跡喻,分別四諦最在後。 (二一)《舍梨子相應品·等心經》第一 當時,尊者舍梨子與比丘眾在夜晚聚集於講堂,因為內在的結縛和外在的結縛,為眾比丘分別解釋其含義:『諸位賢者!世上確實有兩種人。哪兩種呢?有內在結縛的人,是阿那含,不再返回此世;有外在結縛的人,不是阿那含,還會返回此世。諸位賢者!什麼是內在結縛的人,是阿那含,不再返回此世呢?如果有人修習戒律,沒有破損,沒有缺失,沒有污穢,沒有混濁,極其圓滿,沒有困難,為聖者所稱讚,善於修習,善於具足。他因為修習戒律,沒有破損,沒有缺失,沒有污穢,沒有混濁,極其圓滿,沒有困難,為聖者所稱讚,善於修習,善於具足的緣故,又學習厭離慾望、沒有慾望、斷除慾望。』
English version: Then, he rose from his seat, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and said: 'Venerable Sir! I now take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha of monks. May the Venerable Sir accept me as a lay disciple, from this day forward, for the rest of my life, until my life ends.' The Buddha spoke thus. Pararogaminī and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The Pararoga Sutta, the tenth, is complete (4,800 words). The Madhyama Agama Sutra, Volume Four (10,813 words). The Madhyama Agama Sutra, the second chapter of the Karma Samyukta section, is complete (21,060 words) (recited on the first day).

Equal Mind, Attainment of Precepts, Wisdom, Lion, Water Simile, Guni, Dharana Brahma, Teaching the Sick, Kucchi, Elephant Footprint Simile, Discriminating the Four Noble Truths is last. (21) The Sariputra Samyukta Section, the first sutra on Equal Mind. At that time, the Venerable Sariputra and the monks gathered in the lecture hall at night. Because of the inner fetters and the outer fetters, he explained their meanings to the monks: 'Virtuous ones! There are indeed two kinds of people in the world. What are the two? There are those with inner fetters, who are Anagamis, not returning to this world; and there are those with outer fetters, who are not Anagamis, and will return to this world. Virtuous ones! What are those with inner fetters, who are Anagamis, not returning to this world? If there is someone who practices the precepts, without any breaks, without any flaws, without any defilement, without any turbidity, extremely complete, without any difficulty, praised by the noble ones, well-practiced, well-endowed. Because of practicing the precepts, without any breaks, without any flaws, without any defilement, without any turbidity, extremely complete, without any difficulty, praised by the noble ones, well-practiced, well-endowed, he further learns to be weary of desire, without desire, and to abandon desire.'

English version: Because of the aversion to desire, the absence of desire, and the cessation of desire, one attains tranquility and liberation of mind. Having attained this, one delights in the pleasure, cherishing it and not wanting to leave it. In this present life, one does not attain ultimate wisdom. When the body breaks and life ends, one transcends the realm of beings who live on physical food and is reborn in other mind-made heavens. Having been reborn there, one thinks: 'When I was a human, I practiced precepts, without any breach, without any flaw, without any defilement, without any turbidity, extremely complete, without any difficulty, praised by the noble ones, well-practiced and well-equipped. Because of practicing precepts, without any breach, without any flaw, without any defilement, without any turbidity, extremely complete, without any difficulty, praised by the noble ones, well-practiced and well-equipped, I again learned aversion to desire, the absence of desire, and the cessation of desire.

There is another person who practices precepts, without any breach, without any flaw, without any defilement, without any turbidity, extremely complete, without any difficulty, praised by the noble ones, well-practiced and well-equipped. Because of practicing precepts, without any breach, without any flaw, without any defilement, without any turbidity, extremely complete, without any difficulty, praised by the noble ones, well-practiced and well-equipped, one again learns the cessation of attachment to form, the cessation of the karma of greed, and learns to abandon desire.

。得已樂中,愛惜不離,于現法中不得究竟智,身壞命終,過摶食天,生余意生天在於此中。』諸賢!是謂內結人阿那含,不還此間。
「諸賢!云何外結人非阿那含,來還此間?若有一人修習禁戒,守護從解脫,又復善攝威儀禮節,見纖芥罪,常懷畏怖,受持學戒。諸賢!是謂外結人非阿那含,還來此間。」
於是,眾多等心天色像巍巍,光輝暐曄,夜將向旦,來詣佛所,稽首作禮,卻住一面,白曰:「世尊!尊者舍梨子昨夜與比丘眾集在講堂,因內結、外結,為諸比丘分別其義:『諸賢!世實有二種人,內結人、外結人。』世尊!眾已歡喜,唯愿世尊慈哀愍念,往至講堂。」彼時,世尊為諸等心天默然而許。諸等心天知世尊默然許可,稽首佛足,繞三匝已,即彼處沒。
諸等心天去後不久,於是世尊往至講堂比丘眾前,敷座而坐。世尊坐已,嘆曰:「善哉!善哉!舍梨子!汝極甚善。所以者何?汝于昨夜與比丘眾集在講堂,因內結、外結,為諸比丘分別其義。諸賢!世實有二種人,內結人、外結人。舍梨子!昨夜向旦,諸等心天來詣我所,稽首禮已,卻住一面,白我言:『世尊!尊者舍梨子昨夜與比丘眾集在講堂,因內結、外結,為諸比丘分別其義:「諸賢!世實有二種人,內結人、外結人
現代漢語譯本:『他們沉溺於快樂之中,愛戀不捨,在現世的修行中無法獲得究竟的智慧,身死命終后,會超越摶食天,轉生到其餘的意生天之中。』諸位賢者!這就是所謂的內結阿那含,他們不會再回到這個世界。 『諸位賢者!什麼叫做外結的非阿那含,還會回到這個世界呢?如果有人修習戒律,守護解脫之道,又善於約束自己的威儀禮節,見到微小的罪過,也常懷畏懼之心,受持學習戒律。』諸位賢者!這就是所謂的外結非阿那含,他們還會回到這個世界。 這時,許多等心天的色身巍峨,光輝燦爛,在黎明將至時,來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,稟告說:『世尊!尊者舍利弗昨夜在講堂與比丘們集會,就內結、外結的含義,為比丘們分別解釋說:「諸位賢者!世上確實有兩種人,內結的人和外結的人。」』世尊!大家聽了都很歡喜,唯愿世尊慈悲憐憫,前往講堂。』當時,世尊默許了等心天的請求。等心天知道世尊默許后,頂禮佛足,繞佛三圈,就從那裡消失了。 等心天離開后不久,世尊就來到講堂比丘眾前,鋪好座位坐下。世尊坐下後,讚歎道:『善哉!善哉!舍利弗!你做得非常好。為什麼呢?因為你昨夜在講堂與比丘們集會,就內結、外結的含義,為比丘們分別解釋說:「諸位賢者!世上確實有兩種人,內結的人和外結的人。」舍利弗!昨夜黎明時分,許多等心天來到我這裡,頂禮之後,退到一旁,告訴我:「世尊!尊者舍利弗昨夜在講堂與比丘們集會,就內結、外結的含義,為比丘們分別解釋說:『諸位賢者!世上確實有兩種人,內結的人和外結的人。』」
English version: 'They are immersed in pleasure, cherish it and cannot leave it, and in the present practice, they cannot attain ultimate wisdom. When their bodies break and their lives end, they will surpass the Tuan Shi Heavens and be reborn in the remaining Yi Sheng Heavens.' Venerable ones! This is what is called an internally bound Anagami, who will not return to this world. 'Venerable ones! What is an externally bound non-Anagami who will return to this world? If there is someone who practices precepts, guards against liberation, and is also good at restraining their dignified manners and etiquette, seeing even the slightest fault, they are always filled with fear, and uphold and learn the precepts.' Venerable ones! This is what is called an externally bound non-Anagami, who will return to this world. At that time, many De Xin Heavens, with majestic forms and brilliant radiance, came to the Buddha's place as dawn was approaching. They bowed their heads in reverence, stepped aside, and reported: 'World Honored One! Venerable Shariputra gathered with the monks in the lecture hall last night, and regarding the meanings of internal and external bonds, explained to the monks: 「Venerable ones! There are indeed two kinds of people in the world, those with internal bonds and those with external bonds.」' World Honored One! Everyone was delighted to hear this. We beseech the World Honored One to have compassion and go to the lecture hall.' At that time, the World Honored One silently agreed to the request of the De Xin Heavens. Knowing that the World Honored One had silently agreed, the De Xin Heavens bowed at the Buddha's feet, circled him three times, and then disappeared from that place. Not long after the De Xin Heavens left, the World Honored One went to the lecture hall in front of the assembly of monks, spread out a seat, and sat down. After the World Honored One sat down, he praised: 'Excellent! Excellent! Shariputra! You have done very well. Why is that? Because last night you gathered with the monks in the lecture hall, and regarding the meanings of internal and external bonds, explained to the monks: 「Venerable ones! There are indeed two kinds of people in the world, those with internal bonds and those with external bonds.」 Shariputra! Last night, as dawn was approaching, many De Xin Heavens came to my place, bowed in reverence, stepped aside, and told me: 「World Honored One! Venerable Shariputra gathered with the monks in the lecture hall last night, and regarding the meanings of internal and external bonds, explained to the monks: 『Venerable ones! There are indeed two kinds of people in the world, those with internal bonds and those with external bonds.』」'
。」世尊!眾已歡喜,唯愿世尊慈哀愍念,往至講堂。』舍梨子!我便為彼諸等心天默然而許。諸等心天知我默然許可,稽首我足,繞三匝已,即彼處沒。
「舍梨子!諸等心天或十、二十,或三十、四十,或五十、六十,共住錐頭處,各不相妨。舍梨子!諸等心天非生彼中,甫修善心,極廣甚大,令諸等心天或十、二十,或三十、四十,或五十、六十,共住錐頭處,各不相妨。舍梨子!諸等心天本為人時,已修善心,極廣甚大,因是故,令諸等心天或十、二十,或三十、四十,或五十、六十,共住錐頭處,各不相妨。是故,舍梨子!當學寂靜,諸根寂靜,心意寂靜,身、口、意業寂靜,向於世尊及諸智梵行。舍梨子!虛偽異學,長衰永失。所以者何?謂不得聞如此妙法。」
等心經第一竟(千一百八十一字)
(二二)舍梨子相應品成就戒經第二(初一日誦)
爾時,尊者舍梨子告諸比丘:「若比丘成就戒,成就定,成就慧者,便於現法出入想知滅定,必有此處;若於現法不得究竟智,身壞命終,過摶食天,生余意生天中,于彼出入想知滅定,必有此處
現代漢語譯本:『世尊!大眾已經歡喜,只希望世尊慈悲憐憫,前往講堂。』舍利子!我便對那些等心天默許了。那些等心天知道我默許后,向我頂禮,繞行三圈后,就從那裡消失了。 『舍利子!那些等心天,有的十個、二十個,有的三十個、四十個,有的五十個、六十個,共同住在針尖大小的地方,彼此互不妨礙。舍利子!那些等心天不是生在那裡才修習善心,而是因為他們修習的善心極其廣大,才使得那些等心天,有的十個、二十個,有的三十個、四十個,有的五十個、六十個,共同住在針尖大小的地方,彼此互不妨礙。舍利子!那些等心天在做人時,就已經修習了極其廣大的善心,因此,才使得那些等心天,有的十個、二十個,有的三十個、四十個,有的五十個、六十個,共同住在針尖大小的地方,彼此互不妨礙。所以,舍利子!應當學習寂靜,諸根寂靜,心意寂靜,身、口、意業寂靜,向於世尊以及有智慧的修行者。舍利子!虛偽的異端學說,只會長久衰敗,永遠失去。為什麼呢?因為他們不能聽到如此微妙的佛法。』 《等心經》第一部分結束(一千一百八十一字) (二二)《舍利子相應品·成就戒經》第二(初一日誦) 當時,尊者舍利子告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘成就戒律,成就禪定,成就智慧,那麼他就能在現世中出入于想知滅定,必定有這樣的境界;如果他不能在現世中獲得究竟的智慧,身壞命終后,就會超越摶食天,生到其他的意生天中,在那裡也能出入于想知滅定,必定有這樣的境界。』
English version: 'Venerable Sir! The assembly is delighted. We beseech the Venerable One to have compassion and mercy, and go to the lecture hall.' Shariputra! I then silently consented to those equal-minded devas. Those equal-minded devas, knowing that I had silently consented, bowed at my feet, circumambulated me three times, and then vanished from that place. 'Shariputra! Those equal-minded devas, some ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, or sixty, dwell together in the space of a needlepoint, without hindering each other. Shariputra! Those equal-minded devas did not cultivate good minds only after being born there. It is because they cultivated extremely vast and great good minds that those equal-minded devas, some ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, or sixty, dwell together in the space of a needlepoint, without hindering each other. Shariputra! Those equal-minded devas, when they were humans, had already cultivated extremely vast and great good minds. Therefore, those equal-minded devas, some ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, or sixty, dwell together in the space of a needlepoint, without hindering each other. Therefore, Shariputra! One should learn to be tranquil, the senses tranquil, the mind tranquil, the actions of body, speech, and mind tranquil, towards the Venerable One and the wise practitioners of the holy life. Shariputra! False and heretical teachings will long decline and be forever lost. Why is that? Because they cannot hear such wonderful Dharma.' The first part of the 'Equal-Minded Sutra' ends (1181 words). (22) The Second 'Accomplishment of Precepts Sutra' of the 'Shariputra Samyukta' (Recited on the first day) At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Shravasti, in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, the Venerable Shariputra addressed the monks: 'If a monk has accomplished precepts, accomplished concentration, and accomplished wisdom, then he will be able to enter and emerge from the cessation of perception and feeling in this very life; there is certainly such a state. If he does not attain ultimate wisdom in this very life, upon the breaking up of the body at death, he will transcend the devas who feed on solid food and be born among the other mind-made devas, and there he will also be able to enter and emerge from the cessation of perception and feeling; there is certainly such a state.'
是時,尊者烏陀夷共在眾中,尊者烏陀夷白曰:「尊者舍梨子!若比丘生余意生天中,出入想知滅定者,終無此處。」
尊者舍梨子再三告諸比丘:「若比丘成就戒,成就定,成就慧者,便於現法出入想知滅定,必有此處;若於現法不得究竟智,身壞命終,過摶食天,生余意生天中,于彼出入想知滅定,必有此處。」
尊者烏陀夷亦復再三白曰:「尊者舍梨子!若比丘生余意生天中,出入想知滅定者,終無此處。」
於是,尊者舍梨子便作是念:「此比丘乃至再三非我所說,無一比丘嘆我所說,我寧可往至世尊所。」於是,尊者舍梨子往詣佛所,稽首作禮,卻坐一面。
尊者舍梨子去後不久,尊者烏陀夷及諸比丘亦往詣佛所,稽首作禮,卻坐一面。于中,尊者舍梨子復告諸比丘:「若比丘成就戒,成就定,成就慧者,便於現法出入想知滅定,必有此處;若於現法不得究竟智,身壞命終,過摶食天,生余意生天中,于彼出入想知滅定,必有此處。」
尊者烏陀夷復白曰:「尊者舍梨子!若比丘生余意生天中,出入想知滅定者,終無此處
當時,尊者烏陀夷也在僧眾之中,尊者烏陀夷說道:『尊者舍利子!如果比丘轉生到其他意生天,能夠出入想知滅定,那是不可能的。』 尊者舍利子再三告誡眾比丘:『如果比丘成就戒律、成就禪定、成就智慧,那麼他就能在現世出入想知滅定,這是必然的;如果他在現世未能獲得究竟的智慧,身壞命終后,超越了摶食天,轉生到其他意生天,在那裡也能出入想知滅定,這也是必然的。』 尊者烏陀夷也再三說道:『尊者舍利子!如果比丘轉生到其他意生天,能夠出入想知滅定,那是不可能的。』 於是,尊者舍利子心想:『這位比丘再三不接受我的說法,也沒有一位比丘贊同我的說法,我不如去請教世尊。』於是,尊者舍利子前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛陀后,退坐在一旁。 尊者舍利子離開后不久,尊者烏陀夷和眾比丘也前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛陀后,退坐在一旁。這時,尊者舍利子再次告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘成就戒律、成就禪定、成就智慧,那麼他就能在現世出入想知滅定,這是必然的;如果他在現世未能獲得究竟的智慧,身壞命終后,超越了摶食天,轉生到其他意生天,在那裡也能出入想知滅定,這也是必然的。』 尊者烏陀夷又說道:『尊者舍利子!如果比丘轉生到其他意生天,能夠出入想知滅定,那是不可能的。』
At that time, the venerable Udayin was also among the assembly. The venerable Udayin said, 'Venerable Sariputta! If a bhikkhu is reborn in another mind-made heaven and can enter and emerge from the cessation of perception and feeling, that is impossible.' The venerable Sariputta repeatedly told the bhikkhus, 'If a bhikkhu is accomplished in virtue, accomplished in concentration, and accomplished in wisdom, then he can enter and emerge from the cessation of perception and feeling in this very life; this is certain. If he does not attain ultimate wisdom in this very life, and after the breaking up of the body, after passing beyond the devas who feed on solid food, is reborn in another mind-made heaven, he can also enter and emerge from the cessation of perception and feeling there; this is also certain.' The venerable Udayin also repeatedly said, 'Venerable Sariputta! If a bhikkhu is reborn in another mind-made heaven and can enter and emerge from the cessation of perception and feeling, that is impossible.' Then, the venerable Sariputta thought, 'This bhikkhu repeatedly does not accept my words, and not a single bhikkhu agrees with my words. I should go to the Blessed One.' Then, the venerable Sariputta went to where the Buddha was, paid homage to the Buddha, and sat down to one side. Not long after the venerable Sariputta left, the venerable Udayin and the bhikkhus also went to where the Buddha was, paid homage to the Buddha, and sat down to one side. Then, the venerable Sariputta again told the bhikkhus, 'If a bhikkhu is accomplished in virtue, accomplished in concentration, and accomplished in wisdom, then he can enter and emerge from the cessation of perception and feeling in this very life; this is certain. If he does not attain ultimate wisdom in this very life, and after the breaking up of the body, after passing beyond the devas who feed on solid food, is reborn in another mind-made heaven, he can also enter and emerge from the cessation of perception and feeling there; this is also certain.' The venerable Udayin again said, 'Venerable Sariputta! If a bhikkhu is reborn in another mind-made heaven and can enter and emerge from the cessation of perception and feeling, that is impossible.'
尊者舍梨子復再三告諸比丘:「若比丘成就戒,成就定,成就慧者,便於現法出入想知滅定,必有此處;若於現法不得究竟智,身壞命終,過摶食天,生余意生天中,于彼出入想知滅定,必有此處。」
尊者舍梨子復作是念:「此比丘於世尊前再三非我所說,亦無一比丘嘆我所說,我宜默然。」
於是,世尊問曰:「烏陀夷!汝說意生天為是色耶?」
尊者烏陀夷白世尊曰:「是也。世尊!」
世尊面訶烏陀夷曰:「汝愚癡人!盲無有目,以何等故,論甚深阿毗曇?」於是,尊者烏陀夷為佛面訶已,內懷憂戚,低頭默然,失辯無言,如有所思。
世尊面訶尊者烏陀夷已,語尊者阿難曰:「上尊名德長老比丘為他所詰,汝何以故,縱而不撿?汝愚癡人!無有慈心,舍背上尊名德長老。」
於是,世尊面訶尊者烏陀夷及尊者阿難已,告諸比丘:「若比丘成就戒,成就定,成就慧者,便於現法出入想知滅定,必有此處;若於現法不得究竟智,身壞命終,過摶食天,生余意生天中,于彼出入想知滅定,必有此處。」佛說如是,即入禪室,宴坐默然
舍利弗尊者又再三告誡眾比丘:『如果比丘成就戒行、成就禪定、成就智慧,那麼他就能在現世中體驗出入想知滅定,這是必然的;如果他在現世中沒有獲得究竟的智慧,身壞命終后,超越了摶食天,轉生到其他的意生天中,在那裡也能體驗出入想知滅定,這也是必然的。』 烏陀夷尊者也再三反駁說:『舍利弗尊者!如果比丘轉生到其他的意生天中,還能體驗出入想知滅定,這是不可能的。』 舍利弗尊者又想:『這個比丘在世尊面前再三否定我的說法,也沒有一個比丘贊同我的說法,我還是保持沉默吧。』 這時,世尊問道:『烏陀夷!你說意生天是有色相的嗎?』 烏陀夷尊者回答世尊說:『是的,世尊!』 世尊當面呵斥烏陀夷說:『你這個愚癡的人!真是盲目無知,竟然還敢談論如此深奧的阿毗曇?』於是,烏陀夷尊者被佛陀當面呵斥后,內心憂愁,低頭不語,啞口無言,若有所思。 世尊呵斥完烏陀夷尊者后,對阿難尊者說:『上座有德行的長老比丘被他人詰難,你為什麼放任不管?你真是愚癡!沒有慈悲心,竟然捨棄上座有德行的長老。』 於是,世尊呵斥完烏陀夷尊者和阿難尊者后,告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘成就戒行、成就禪定、成就智慧,那麼他就能在現世中體驗出入想知滅定,這是必然的;如果他在現世中沒有獲得究竟的智慧,身壞命終后,超越了摶食天,轉生到其他的意生天中,在那裡也能體驗出入想知滅定,這也是必然的。』佛陀說完這些話,就進入禪室,靜坐默然。
Venerable Sariputra repeatedly told the monks, 'If a monk is accomplished in morality, accomplished in concentration, and accomplished in wisdom, then he will surely experience the cessation of perception and feeling in this very life. If he does not attain ultimate wisdom in this very life, and after his body breaks up, he passes beyond the realm of the devas who feed on solid food, and is reborn in other mind-made heavens, he will surely experience the cessation of perception and feeling there as well.' Venerable Udāyi also repeatedly replied, 'Venerable Sariputra, if a monk is reborn in other mind-made heavens, there is no possibility that he will experience the cessation of perception and feeling there.' Venerable Sariputra then thought, 'This monk has repeatedly contradicted my words in the presence of the Blessed One, and not a single monk has praised my words. I should remain silent.' Then, the Blessed One asked, 'Udāyi, do you say that the mind-made heavens are material?' Venerable Udāyi replied to the Blessed One, 'Yes, Blessed One.' The Blessed One rebuked Udāyi to his face, saying, 'You foolish man! You are blind and without eyes! Why do you discuss such profound Abhidhamma?' Then, Venerable Udāyi, having been rebuked by the Buddha to his face, became inwardly distressed, lowered his head, remained silent, lost his eloquence, and was speechless, as if lost in thought. After rebuking Venerable Udāyi, the Blessed One said to Venerable Ananda, 'Why did you allow the elder monk of high virtue and reputation to be questioned by others without intervening? You foolish man! You have no compassion, abandoning the elder monk of high virtue and reputation.' Then, after rebuking Venerable Udāyi and Venerable Ananda, the Blessed One told the monks, 'If a monk is accomplished in morality, accomplished in concentration, and accomplished in wisdom, then he will surely experience the cessation of perception and feeling in this very life. If he does not attain ultimate wisdom in this very life, and after his body breaks up, he passes beyond the realm of the devas who feed on solid food, and is reborn in other mind-made heavens, he will surely experience the cessation of perception and feeling there as well.' Having spoken thus, the Buddha entered his meditation chamber and sat in silence.
爾時,尊者白凈比丘在於眾中,尊者阿難白尊者白凈:「是他所作,而我得責。尊者白凈!世尊晡時必從禪室出,至比丘眾前,敷座而坐,共論此義。尊者白凈應答此事,我極慚愧於世尊所及諸梵行。」
於是,世尊則于晡時從禪室出,至比丘眾前,敷座而坐,告曰:「白凈!長老比丘為有幾法,為諸梵行者愛敬尊重?」
尊者白凈白曰:「世尊!長老比丘若有五法,為諸梵行者愛敬尊重。云何為五?世尊!長老比丘修習禁戒,守護從解脫,又復善攝威儀禮節,見纖芥罪,常懷畏怖,受持學戒。世尊!禁戒長老上尊比丘,為諸梵行者愛敬尊重。複次,世尊!長老比丘廣學多聞,守持不忘,積聚博聞,所謂法者,初善、中善、竟亦善,有義有文,具足清凈,顯現梵行,如是諸法廣學多聞,玩習至千,意所惟觀,明見深達。世尊!多聞長老上尊比丘,為諸梵行者愛敬尊重。複次,世尊!長老比丘得四增上心,現法樂居,易不難得。世尊!禪伺長老上尊比丘,為諸梵行者愛敬尊重。複次,世尊!長老比丘修行智慧,觀興衰法,得如是智,聖慧明達,分別曉了,以正盡苦。世尊!智慧長老上尊比丘,為諸梵行者愛敬尊重
當時,尊者白凈比丘在僧眾之中,尊者阿難對尊者白凈說:『這是他做的,卻要我來承擔責任。尊者白凈!世尊傍晚一定會從禪房出來,到比丘僧眾面前,鋪設座位坐下,共同討論這個道理。尊者白凈應該回答這件事,我在世尊和各位同修面前感到非常慚愧。』 於是,世尊在傍晚從禪房出來,到比丘僧眾面前,鋪設座位坐下,告訴白凈說:『白凈!年長的比丘有幾種品德,會被各位同修愛戴、尊敬和重視呢?』 尊者白凈回答說:『世尊!年長的比丘如果有五種品德,就會被各位同修愛戴、尊敬和重視。是哪五種呢?世尊!年長的比丘修習戒律,守護從解脫,又能夠很好地約束自己的威儀禮節,看到細微的罪過,常常心懷畏懼,受持學習戒律。世尊!持戒的年長上座比丘,會被各位同修愛戴、尊敬和重視。其次,世尊!年長的比丘廣泛學習,博聞強記,積累廣博的知識,所說的法,開頭是善的,中間是善的,結尾也是善的,有意義有文采,具足清凈,能夠彰顯梵行,像這樣的法,廣泛學習,反覆練習直到精通,用心思考觀察,明瞭通達。世尊!博學的年長上座比丘,會被各位同修愛戴、尊敬和重視。其次,世尊!年長的比丘獲得四種增上心,在現世安樂居住,容易獲得而不困難。世尊!禪定的年長上座比丘,會被各位同修愛戴、尊敬和重視。其次,世尊!年長的比丘修行智慧,觀察興衰的規律,獲得這樣的智慧,聖潔的智慧明達,能夠分辨清楚,用正道來徹底消除痛苦。世尊!有智慧的年長上座比丘,會被各位同修愛戴、尊敬和重視。』
At that time, the venerable Bhikkhu Baijing was among the assembly. The venerable Ananda said to the venerable Baijing, 'It was his doing, yet I am to be blamed. Venerable Baijing! The Blessed One will surely come out of his meditation chamber in the evening, go before the assembly of bhikkhus, lay out a seat and sit down, and discuss this matter. Venerable Baijing should answer this matter, I am extremely ashamed before the Blessed One and all the Brahmacaris.' Then, the Blessed One came out of his meditation chamber in the evening, went before the assembly of bhikkhus, laid out a seat and sat down, and said, 'Baijing! How many qualities does an elder bhikkhu possess that make him loved, respected, and honored by the Brahmacaris?' The venerable Baijing replied, 'Blessed One! If an elder bhikkhu possesses five qualities, he will be loved, respected, and honored by the Brahmacaris. What are the five? Blessed One! An elder bhikkhu practices the precepts, guards against defilements, and also well controls his deportment and manners, seeing even the slightest fault, always feeling fear, and upholding the precepts. Blessed One! An elder bhikkhu who is senior in precepts is loved, respected, and honored by the Brahmacaris. Furthermore, Blessed One! An elder bhikkhu is widely learned, retains what he has heard, accumulates vast knowledge, and the Dharma he speaks is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with meaning and eloquence, complete and pure, revealing the Brahmacarya. Such Dharma he learns widely, practices until proficient, contemplates with his mind, and clearly understands. Blessed One! An elder bhikkhu who is learned is loved, respected, and honored by the Brahmacaris. Furthermore, Blessed One! An elder bhikkhu attains the four higher minds, dwells in present happiness, easily and without difficulty. Blessed One! An elder bhikkhu who is skilled in meditation is loved, respected, and honored by the Brahmacaris. Furthermore, Blessed One! An elder bhikkhu practices wisdom, observes the laws of rise and fall, attains such wisdom, holy wisdom that is clear and discerning, able to distinguish and understand, and uses the right path to completely eliminate suffering. Blessed One! An elder bhikkhu who is wise is loved, respected, and honored by the Brahmacaris.'
。複次,世尊!長老比丘諸漏已盡,無復有結,心解脫、慧解脫,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。世尊!漏盡長老上尊比丘,為諸梵行者愛敬尊重。世尊!長老比丘若成就此五法,為諸梵行者愛敬尊重。」
世尊問曰:「白凈!若長老比丘無此五法,當以何義使諸梵行者愛敬尊重?」尊者白凈白曰:「世尊!若長老比丘無此五法者,更無餘事使諸梵行愛敬尊重,唯以老耄、頭白、齒落,盛壯日衰,身曲腳戾,體重氣上,柱杖而行,肌縮皮緩,皺如麻子,諸根毀熟,顏色醜惡,彼因此故,使諸梵行愛敬尊重。」
世尊告曰:「如是如是。若長老比丘無此五法,更無餘事使諸梵行愛敬尊重,唯以老耄、頭白、齒落,盛壯日衰,身曲腳戾,體重氣上,柱杖而行,肌縮皮緩,皺如麻子,諸根毀熟,顏色醜惡,彼因此故,使諸梵行愛敬尊重。白凈!舍梨子比丘有此五法,汝等應當愛敬尊重。所以者何?白凈!舍梨子比丘修習禁戒,守護從解脫,又復善攝威儀禮節,見纖芥罪,常懷畏怖,受持學戒
現代漢語譯本:再者,世尊!那些漏盡煩惱、不再有任何束縛的長老比丘,他們的心已解脫,智慧也已解脫,在現世中能自我了知、自我覺悟,親身證得並安住於此境界。他們已斷絕生死輪迴,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的都已做完,不再受後有,如實知曉真諦。世尊!這樣的漏盡煩惱的長老上尊比丘,會受到所有修行者的愛戴、尊敬和重視。世尊!如果長老比丘成就了這五種品質,就會受到所有修行者的愛戴、尊敬和重視。 世尊問道:『白凈,如果長老比丘沒有這五種品質,又憑什麼讓修行者愛戴、尊敬和重視呢?』尊者白凈回答說:『世尊!如果長老比丘沒有這五種品質,就沒有其他原因能讓修行者愛戴、尊敬和重視了,只能因為他年老體衰、頭髮變白、牙齒脫落、壯年不再、身體彎曲、腿腳不便、身體沉重、氣喘吁吁、拄著枴杖行走、肌肉萎縮、面板鬆弛、皺紋像麻子一樣、各種器官衰退、容顏醜陋,修行者因此而愛戴、尊敬和重視他。』 世尊說道:『是這樣的,是這樣的。如果長老比丘沒有這五種品質,就沒有其他原因能讓修行者愛戴、尊敬和重視了,只能因為他年老體衰、頭髮變白、牙齒脫落、壯年不再、身體彎曲、腿腳不便、身體沉重、氣喘吁吁、拄著枴杖行走、肌肉萎縮、面板鬆弛、皺紋像麻子一樣、各種器官衰退、容顏醜陋,修行者因此而愛戴、尊敬和重視他。白凈!舍利弗比丘具有這五種品質,你們應當愛戴、尊敬和重視他。為什麼呢?白凈!舍利弗比丘修習戒律,守護解脫之道,又善於攝持威儀禮節,見到微小的罪過,也常懷畏懼之心,受持學習戒律。』
English version: Furthermore, O Lord, those elder monks who have eradicated all defilements, have no more fetters, whose minds are liberated, whose wisdom is liberated, who in this very life know for themselves, realize for themselves, and having attained it, abide in it, whose birth is exhausted, whose holy life is established, whose task is done, who will not be reborn, and who know the truth as it is. O Lord, such elder monks who have eradicated defilements are revered and respected by all those who practice the holy life. O Lord, if an elder monk possesses these five qualities, he is revered and respected by all those who practice the holy life. The Lord asked: 'White Pure, if an elder monk does not possess these five qualities, by what means should he be revered and respected by those who practice the holy life?' Venerable White Pure replied: 'O Lord, if an elder monk does not possess these five qualities, there is no other reason for those who practice the holy life to revere and respect him, except for his old age, white hair, fallen teeth, the decline of his prime, his bent body, his crippled legs, his heavy body, his labored breathing, his walking with a staff, his shrunken muscles, his loose skin, his wrinkles like pockmarks, his deteriorated faculties, and his ugly appearance. It is because of these things that those who practice the holy life revere and respect him.' The Lord said: 'So it is, so it is. If an elder monk does not possess these five qualities, there is no other reason for those who practice the holy life to revere and respect him, except for his old age, white hair, fallen teeth, the decline of his prime, his bent body, his crippled legs, his heavy body, his labored breathing, his walking with a staff, his shrunken muscles, his loose skin, his wrinkles like pockmarks, his deteriorated faculties, and his ugly appearance. It is because of these things that those who practice the holy life revere and respect him. White Pure, the monk Sariputta possesses these five qualities, and you should revere and respect him. Why is that? White Pure, the monk Sariputta practices the precepts, guards the path to liberation, is also skilled in maintaining proper conduct and etiquette, sees even the smallest fault with fear, and upholds and learns the precepts.'
。複次,白凈!舍梨子比丘廣學多聞,守持不忘,積聚博聞,所謂法者,初善、中善、竟亦善,有義有文,具足清凈,顯現梵行,如是諸法,廣學多聞,玩習至千,意所惟觀,明見深達。複次,白凈!舍梨子比丘得四增上心,現法樂居,易不難得。複次,白凈!舍梨子比丘修行智慧,觀興衰法,得如是智,聖慧明達,分別曉了,以正盡苦。複次,白凈!舍梨子比丘諸漏已盡,無復有結,心解脫、慧解脫,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。白凈!舍梨子比丘成就此五法,汝等應共愛敬尊重。」
佛說如是。尊者白凈及諸比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。
成就戒經第二竟(一千七百四十六字)
(二三)舍梨子相應品智經第三(初一日誦)
爾時,牟利破群㝹比丘舍戒罷道,黑齒比丘聞牟利破群㝹比丘舍戒罷道,即詣尊者舍梨子所,稽首禮足,卻坐一面,坐已,白曰:「尊者舍梨子!當知牟利破群㝹比丘舍戒罷道
現代漢語譯本:再者,白凈!舍利子比丘廣博學習,多方聽聞,持守不忘,積累廣博的知識,所說的法,開頭是善的,中間是善的,結尾也是善的,有意義,有文辭,具足清凈,顯現清凈的修行,像這樣的法,廣博學習,多方聽聞,反覆練習直至純熟,用心思考觀察,明晰地理解,深刻地通達。再者,白凈!舍利子比丘獲得四種增上心,在現世中安樂居住,容易獲得而不困難。再者,白凈!舍利子比丘修行智慧,觀察事物興盛和衰敗的規律,獲得這樣的智慧,聖潔的智慧明亮通達,分別清楚地瞭解,從而正確地斷除痛苦。再者,白凈!舍利子比丘的各種煩惱已經斷盡,不再有束縛,心解脫,智慧解脫,在現世中自己知道,自己覺悟,自己作證而成就,生命已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,不再承受輪迴,如實地知道真理。白凈!舍利子比丘成就這五種功德,你們應當共同愛戴、尊敬、重視他。' 佛陀這樣說。尊者白凈以及各位比丘,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 《成就戒經》第二部分結束(一千七百四十六字) (二三)舍利子相應品《智經》第三(初一日誦) 當時,牟利破群㝹比丘捨棄戒律,不再修行,黑齒比丘聽聞牟利破群㝹比丘捨棄戒律,不再修行,就去拜訪尊者舍利子,頂禮他的雙足,退坐在一旁,坐下後,說道:『尊者舍利子!您應當知道牟利破群㝹比丘捨棄戒律,不再修行。』
English version: Furthermore, White-Pure! The monk Sariputta is extensively learned, has heard much, retains what he has learned, accumulates vast knowledge. The teachings he speaks of are good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with meaning and phrasing, complete and pure, revealing the holy life. Such teachings he learns extensively, hears much, practices until proficient, contemplates with his mind, clearly understands, and deeply penetrates. Furthermore, White-Pure! The monk Sariputta attains the four higher minds, dwells in present happiness, easily and without difficulty. Furthermore, White-Pure! The monk Sariputta practices wisdom, observes the laws of rise and fall, attains such wisdom, holy wisdom that is bright and clear, distinguishing and understanding, thereby correctly ending suffering. Furthermore, White-Pure!

You should know that the monk Mulipagguna has abandoned the precepts and left the path.'
尊者舍梨子曰:「牟利破群㝹比丘於此法中而愛樂耶?」
黑齒比丘問曰:「尊者舍梨子!於此法中而愛樂耶?」

Venerable Sariputta said: 'Would the bhikkhu Moliya Phagguna delight in this teaching?' The bhikkhu Black Tooth asked: 'Venerable Sariputta! Do you delight in this teaching?' Venerable Sariputta replied: 'Black Tooth! I have no doubt about this teaching.' The bhikkhu Black Tooth then asked: 'Venerable Sariputta! What about future matters?' Venerable Sariputta replied: 'Black Tooth! I have no hesitation about future matters either.'

Venerable Sariputta now claims to have attained wisdom, that birth is ended, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, there is no more rebirth, and he knows the truth as it is.' Having heard this, the Blessed One told a bhikkhu: 'Go to Sariputta and say: 'Sariputta! The Blessed One calls for you.' Having received the instruction, the bhikkhu rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, and left, going to Venerable Sariputta, and reported: 'The Blessed One calls for Venerable Sariputta.' Having heard this, Venerable Sariputta went to the Buddha, bowed his head, and sat down to one side. The Blessed One asked: 'Sariputta! Do you now truly claim to have attained wisdom, that birth is ended, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, there is no more rebirth, and you know the truth as it is?' Venerable Sariputta reported: 'Venerable Sir! Not in these words, not in these sentences, but I am speaking of the meaning.' The Blessed One said: 'Sariputta! A man of good family may express himself as he finds convenient, and one who has attained wisdom speaks of having attained wisdom.' Venerable Sariputta reported: 'Venerable Sir! I have already said, not in these words, not in these sentences, but I am speaking of the meaning.'

Having heard this question, I would answer thus: 『Friends! When I turn away from and do not cling within, then all desires are extinguished, there is no fear, no dread, no doubt, no confusion, thus guarding one's mind, and having guarded it thus, no unwholesome defilements arise.』 Lord! If other ascetics ask me this, I would answer thus.』 The Blessed One praised: 'Well done! Well done! Sariputta! If other ascetics ask you this, you should answer thus. Why is that? Because by saying this, one should understand this meaning.' The Blessed One said to Sariputta: 'Sariputta! There is another meaning, this saying can be answered briefly. If those defilements that the ascetics speak of, those defilements are not mine, thus guarding one's mind, and having guarded it thus, no unwholesome defilements arise. Sariputta! This is another meaning, this saying can be answered briefly.' Having said this, the Blessed One rose from his seat and entered his chamber to meditate. Not long after the Blessed One entered his chamber, Venerable Sariputta said to the monks: 'Friends! I had not initially considered this question, and the Blessed One suddenly asked me about this meaning, and I thought: 『I am afraid I cannot answer.』'

I then thought: 「If the World-Honored One were to question me on this principle for one day and one night, using different words and phrases, I would be able to answer the World-Honored One for one day and one night, using different words and phrases. Friends! If the World-Honored One were to question me on this principle for two, three, four, up to seven days and seven nights, using different words and phrases, I would also be able to answer the World-Honored One for two, three, four, up to seven days and seven nights, using different words and phrases.」』 The World-Honored One said to Black Tooth: 『Indeed, indeed. If I were to question the monk Sariputra on this principle for one day and one night, using different words and phrases, the monk Sariputra would certainly be able to answer me for one day and one night, using different words and phrases. Black Tooth! If I were to question the monk Sariputra on this principle for two, three, four, up to seven days and seven nights, using different words and phrases, the monk Sariputra would also be able to answer me for two, three, four, up to seven days and seven nights, using different words and phrases. Why is this so? Black Tooth! Because the monk Sariputra has a deep understanding of the realm of Dharma.』
。尊者舍梨子及諸比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。
智經第三竟(一千一百六十九字)
(二四)舍梨子相應品師子吼經第四(初一日誦)
爾時,世尊與大比丘眾俱,于舍衛國而受夏坐,尊者舍梨子亦游舍衛國而受夏坐。於是,尊者舍梨子舍衛國受夏坐訖,過三月已,補治衣竟,攝衣持缽,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,卻坐一面,白曰:「世尊!我于舍衛國受夏坐訖。世尊!我欲遊行人間。」
世尊告曰:「舍梨子!汝去,隨所欲,諸未度者當令得度,諸未脫者當令得脫,諸未般涅槃者令得般涅槃。舍梨子!汝去,隨所欲。」
於是,尊者舍梨子聞佛所說,善受善持,即從坐起,稽首佛足,繞三匝而去,還至己房,收舉床座,攝衣持缽,即便出去遊行人間。
尊者舍梨子去後不久,有一梵行在於佛前犯相違法,白世尊曰:「今日尊者舍梨子輕慢我已,遊行人間。」
世尊聞已,告一比丘:「汝往舍梨子所,語舍梨子:『世尊呼汝。汝去不久,有一梵行在於我前犯相違法,而作是語:「世尊!今日尊者舍梨子輕慢我已,遊行人間。」』」
一比丘受教已,即從坐起,禮佛而去
尊者舍利子和眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 《智經》第三完(共一千一百六十九字) (二四)《舍利子相應品·師子吼經》第四(初一日誦) 當時,世尊與眾多大比丘一起,在舍衛國安居過夏,尊者舍利子也在舍衛國安居過夏。於是,尊者舍利子在舍衛國安居過夏完畢,過了三個月后,修補好衣服,整理好衣缽,前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,稟告說:『世尊!我在舍衛國安居過夏完畢。世尊!我想要游化人間。』 世尊告訴他說:『舍利子!你去吧,隨你的意願,讓那些尚未得度的眾生得以得度,讓那些尚未解脫的眾生得以解脫,讓那些尚未般涅槃的眾生得以般涅槃。舍利子!你去吧,隨你的意願。』 於是,尊者舍利子聽聞佛陀所說,善加領受和奉持,隨即從座位起身,頂禮佛足,繞佛三圈后離去,回到自己的住處,收拾好床鋪,整理好衣缽,就出發游化人間。 尊者舍利子離開后不久,有一位修行者在佛陀面前犯了戒律,稟告世尊說:『今天尊者舍利子輕慢了我,游化人間去了。』 世尊聽聞后,告訴一位比丘:『你前往舍利子所在之處,告訴舍利子:「世尊呼喚你。你離開不久,有一位修行者在我面前犯了戒律,並且這樣說:『世尊!今天尊者舍利子輕慢了我,游化人間去了。』」』 一位比丘接受教誨后,隨即從座位起身,向佛陀頂禮后離去。
Venerable Sariputta and the other monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The third chapter of the 'Wisdom Sutra' concludes (1169 words). (24) The fourth 'Lion's Roar Sutra' of the 'Sariputta Samyutta' (recited on the first day). At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Savatthi, at the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, the World-Honored One was dwelling in Savatthi for the summer retreat with a large assembly of monks, and Venerable Sariputta was also dwelling in Savatthi for the summer retreat. Then, Venerable Sariputta, having completed his summer retreat in Savatthi, after three months, having mended his robes, and having gathered his robes and bowl, went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at his feet, sat down to one side, and said: 'World-Honored One! I have completed my summer retreat in Savatthi. World-Honored One! I wish to travel among humans.' The World-Honored One said: 'Sariputta! Go, as you wish, those who have not been liberated, cause them to be liberated, those who have not been released, cause them to be released, those who have not attained Nirvana, cause them to attain Nirvana. Sariputta! Go, as you wish.' Then, Venerable Sariputta, having heard what the Buddha said, well received and upheld it, immediately rose from his seat, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him three times, and departed, returning to his own dwelling, packed up his bed and seat, gathered his robes and bowl, and then went out to travel among humans. Not long after Venerable Sariputta had left, a certain practitioner, having violated the precepts in the presence of the Buddha, reported to the World-Honored One, saying: 'Today Venerable Sariputta has slighted me and has gone to travel among humans.' Having heard this, the World-Honored One said to a certain monk: 'Go to where Sariputta is, and tell Sariputta: 「The World-Honored One calls for you. Not long after you left, a certain practitioner violated the precepts in my presence, and said: 『World-Honored One! Today Venerable Sariputta has slighted me and has gone to travel among humans.』」' Having received the instruction, the monk immediately rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, and departed.
。於是,尊者阿難住世尊后執拂侍佛。
一比丘去後不久,尊者阿難即持戶鑰,遍至諸房,見諸比丘便作是語:「善哉!諸尊!速詣講堂,今尊者舍梨子當在佛前而師子吼,若尊者舍梨子所說甚深,息中之息,妙中之妙,如是說者,諸尊及我得聞此已,當善誦習,當善受持。」彼時,諸比丘聞尊者阿難語已,悉詣講堂。
爾時,一比丘往詣尊者舍梨子所,白曰:「世尊呼汝。汝去不久,有一梵行在於我前犯相違法,而作是語:『世尊!今日尊者舍梨子輕慢我已,遊行人間。』」
於是,尊者舍梨子聞已,即從坐起,便還詣佛,稽首禮足,卻坐一面。佛便告曰:「舍梨子!汝去不久,有一梵行在於我前犯相違法,而作是語:『世尊!今日尊者舍梨子輕慢我已,遊行人間。』舍梨子!汝實輕慢一梵行已而遊人間耶?」
尊者舍梨子白曰:「世尊!若無身身念者,彼便輕慢於一梵行而遊人間。世尊!我善有身身念,我當云何輕慢一梵行而遊人間?世尊!猶截角牛,至忍溫良,善調善御,從村至村,從巷至巷,所遊行處,無所侵犯。世尊!我亦如是,心如截角牛,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。世尊!若無身身念者,彼便輕慢於一梵行而遊人間
現代漢語譯本:於是,阿難尊者站在世尊身後,手持拂塵侍奉佛陀。 一位比丘離開后不久,阿難尊者就拿著房門的鑰匙,挨個走到各個房間,見到比丘們就說:『各位尊者,請快到講堂去,今天舍利子尊者將在佛陀面前作獅子吼。如果舍利子尊者所說的內容非常深奧,是止息中的止息,微妙中的微妙,如果這樣說,各位尊者和我聽了之後,應當好好誦讀學習,好好接受並記住。』當時,比丘們聽了阿難尊者的話后,都前往講堂。 這時,一位比丘去到舍利子尊者那裡,稟告說:『世尊叫你。你離開不久,有一位修行者在我面前犯了不合規矩的行為,並且說:『世尊!今天舍利子尊者輕慢了我,人間。』 於是,舍利子尊者聽了這話,就從座位上站起來,回到佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。佛陀就對他說:『舍利子,你離開不久,有一位修行者在我面前犯了不合規矩的行為,並且說:『世尊!今天舍利子尊者輕慢了我,人間。』舍利子,你真的輕慢了一位修行者而遊走人間嗎?』 舍利子尊者回答說:『世尊!如果沒有對身體的覺知,那他就會輕慢一位修行者而遊走人間。世尊!我很好地保持著對身體的覺知,我怎麼會輕慢一位修行者而遊走人間呢?世尊!就像被截去角的牛,溫順善良,善於調教和駕馭,從村莊到村莊,從巷子到巷子,所到之處,都不會侵犯任何東西。世尊!我也是這樣,心就像被截去角的牛,沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒,沒有爭鬥,極其廣闊,非常廣大,無量地修習善法,遍滿一切世間而成就遊行。世尊!如果沒有對身體的覺知,那他就會輕慢一位修行者而遊走人間。
English version: Then, the Venerable Ananda stood behind the World Honored One, holding a fan to attend to the Buddha. Not long after a certain bhikkhu had left, the Venerable Ananda, holding the key to the doors, went to each of the rooms, and seeing the bhikkhus, he spoke thus: 'Good sirs! Quickly go to the lecture hall, for today the Venerable Sariputta will roar the lion's roar before the Buddha. If what the Venerable Sariputta says is very profound, the cessation of cessation, the subtle of the subtle, if he speaks thus, then you and I, having heard this, should learn it well, should receive and hold it well.' At that time, the bhikkhus, having heard the words of the Venerable Ananda, all went to the lecture hall. Then, a certain bhikkhu went to the Venerable Sariputta and reported: 'The World Honored One is calling for you. Not long after you left, a certain brahmacari committed an offense against the rules in front of me, and said: 'World Honored One! Today the Venerable Sariputta has slighted me, among men.' Then, the Venerable Sariputta, having heard this, immediately rose from his seat, and returned to the Buddha, bowed his head to his feet, and sat down to one side. The Buddha then said: 'Sariputta! Not long after you left, a certain brahmacari committed an offense against the rules in front of me, and said: 'World Honored One! Today the Venerable Sariputta has slighted me, among men.' Sariputta! Have you truly slighted a brahmacari and wandered among men?' The Venerable Sariputta replied: 'World Honored One! If there is no mindfulness of the body, then one would slight a brahmacari and wander among men. World Honored One! I have good mindfulness of the body, how could I slight a brahmacari and wander among men? World Honored One! It is like a bull with its horns cut off, gentle and kind, well-trained and well-controlled, going from village to village, from lane to lane, wherever it goes, it does not harm anything. World Honored One! I am also like that, my mind is like a bull with its horns cut off, without fetters, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, very great, immeasurably practicing good, pervading all the world and accomplishing wandering. World Honored One! If there is no mindfulness of the body, then one would slight a brahmacari and wander among men.'

'World-Honored One! I am mindful of my body, how could I disrespect a practitioner of pure conduct while walking among people?' 'World-Honored One! It is like a jar of oil, cracked in many places, filled with oil and placed in the sun, leaking and dripping everywhere. If a person with eyes were to stand by and see this jar of oil, cracked in many places, filled with oil and placed in the sun, leaking and dripping everywhere. World-Honored One! I am also like this, constantly observing that the nine orifices of this body are impure, leaking and dripping everywhere. World-Honored One! If one were not mindful of the body, they would disrespect a practitioner of pure conduct while walking among people. World-Honored One!

'Then, that monk immediately rose from his seat, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and said to the World-Honored One: 'I repent, World-Honored One! I confess, Well-Gone One! I was like a fool, like an idiot, like one who is unstable, like one who is not good. Why is that? Because I used false words to slander the pure-practicing monk Shariputra. World-Honored One! I now repent, I hope you will accept my repentance, I have revealed my fault, and I will not do it again.' 'The World-Honored One said: 'Yes, monk! You are indeed like a fool, like an idiot, like one who is unstable, like one who is not good. Why is that? Because you used false and untrue words to slander the pure-practicing monk Shariputra.'
。汝能悔過,見已發露,后不更作。若有悔過,見已發露,后不更作者,如是長養于聖法、律則不衰退。」
於是,佛告尊者舍梨子:「汝速受彼癡人悔過,莫令彼比丘即于汝前頭破七分。」
尊者舍梨子即為哀愍彼比丘故,便受悔過。
佛說如是。尊者舍梨子及諸比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。
師子吼經第四竟(千九百七十七字)
(二五)舍梨子相應品水喻經第五(初一日誦)
爾時,尊者舍梨子告諸比丘:「諸賢!我今為汝說五除惱法。諦聽,諦聽!善思念之。」彼諸比丘受教而聽。
尊者舍梨子言:「云何為五?諸賢!或有一人身不凈行,口凈行,若慧者見,設生恚惱,應當除之。複次。諸賢!或有一人口不凈行,身凈行,若慧者見,設生恚惱,應當除之。複次。諸賢!或有一人身不凈行,口不凈行,心少有凈,若慧者見,設生恚惱,應當除之。複次。諸賢!或有一人身不凈行,口、意不凈行,若慧者見,設生恚惱,應當除之。複次。諸賢!或有一人身凈行,口、意凈行,若慧者見,設生恚惱,應當除之
現代漢語譯本:'如果你能悔改,承認錯誤,並且之後不再犯同樣的錯誤。如果有人能悔改,承認錯誤,並且之後不再犯同樣的錯誤,這樣就能在神聖的佛法和戒律中成長,而不會衰退。' 於是,佛陀告訴尊者舍利弗:'你快接受那個愚人的懺悔,不要讓他因為在你面前而頭破七分。' 尊者舍利弗因為憐憫那個比丘,就接受了他的懺悔。 佛陀說了這些話。尊者舍利弗和眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 《師子吼經》第四完(一千九百七十七字) (二五)舍利弗相應品水喻經第五(初一日誦) 那時,尊者舍利弗告訴眾比丘:'諸位賢者!我現在為你們說五種消除煩惱的方法。仔細聽,仔細聽!好好思考。'那些比丘接受教誨,認真聽著。 尊者舍利弗說:'哪五種呢?諸位賢者!有的人身體行為不凈,言語行為清凈,如果智者看到,即使產生惱怒,也應當消除。其次,諸位賢者!有的人言語行為不凈,身體行為清凈,如果智者看到,即使產生惱怒,也應當消除。其次,諸位賢者!有的人身體行為不凈,言語行為不凈,但內心稍微清凈,如果智者看到,即使產生惱怒,也應當消除。其次,諸位賢者!有的人身體行為不凈,言語和內心行為都不清凈,如果智者看到,即使產生惱怒,也應當消除。其次,諸位賢者!有的人身體行為清凈,言語和內心行為都清凈,如果智者看到,即使產生惱怒,也應當消除。'
English version: 'If you can repent, acknowledge your faults, and not repeat them afterwards. If someone can repent, acknowledge their faults, and not repeat them afterwards, they will grow in the sacred Dharma and discipline without decline.' Then, the Buddha said to Venerable Sariputra, 'Quickly accept the repentance of that foolish person, lest he break his head into seven pieces before you.' Venerable Sariputra, out of compassion for that bhikkhu, accepted his repentance. The Buddha spoke these words. Venerable Sariputra and the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. The fourth chapter of the 'Lion's Roar Sutra' is complete (1977 words). (25) The fifth 'Water Simile Sutra' of the Sariputra Samyukta (recited on the first day) Then, Venerable Sariputra addressed the bhikkhus, 'Friends! I will now tell you five ways to eliminate vexation. Listen carefully, listen carefully! Reflect well.' Those bhikkhus accepted the teaching and listened attentively. Venerable Sariputra said, 'What are the five? Friends! There is a person whose bodily conduct is impure, but whose verbal conduct is pure. If a wise person sees this, even if they feel anger, they should eliminate it. Furthermore, friends! There is a person whose verbal conduct is impure, but whose bodily conduct is pure. If a wise person sees this, even if they feel anger, they should eliminate it. Furthermore, friends! There is a person whose bodily conduct is impure, and whose verbal conduct is impure, but whose mind is slightly pure. If a wise person sees this, even if they feel anger, they should eliminate it. Furthermore, friends! There is a person whose bodily conduct is impure, and whose verbal and mental conduct are impure. If a wise person sees this, even if they feel anger, they should eliminate it. Furthermore, friends! There is a person whose bodily conduct is pure, and whose verbal and mental conduct are pure. If a wise person sees this, even if they feel anger, they should eliminate it.'
「諸賢!或有一人身不凈行,口凈行,若慧者見,設生恚惱,當云何除?諸賢!猶如阿練若比丘持糞掃衣,見糞聚中所棄弊衣,或大便污,或小便、涕、唾及余不凈之所染污,見已,左手執之,右手舒張,若非大便、小便、涕、唾及余不凈之所污處,又不穿者,便裂取之。如是,諸賢!或有一人身不凈行,口凈行,莫念彼身不凈行也,但當念彼口之凈行,若慧者見,設生恚惱,應如是除。
「諸賢!或有一人口不凈行,身凈行,若慧者見,設生恚惱,當云何除?諸賢!猶村外不遠,有深水池,槁草所覆,若有人來,熱極煩悶,飢渴頓乏,風熱所逼,彼至池已,脫衣置岸,便入池中,兩手披槁,恣意快浴,除熱煩悶,飢渴頓乏。如是,諸賢!或有一人口不凈行,身有凈行,莫念彼口不凈行,但當念彼身之凈行,若慧者見,設生恚惱,應如是除。
「諸賢!或有一人身不凈行,口不凈行,心少有凈,若慧者見,設生恚惱,當云何除?諸賢!猶四衢道,有牛跡水。若有人來,熱極煩悶,飢渴頓乏,風熱所逼,彼作是念:『此四衢道牛跡少水,我若以手、以葉取者,則擾渾濁,不得除我熱極煩悶、飢渴頓乏。我寧可跪,手膝拍地,以口飲水
『諸位賢者!如果有人行為不檢點,但言語清凈,有智慧的人看到這種情況,即使產生憤怒,應當如何消除呢?諸位賢者!就像住在寂靜處的比丘,穿著從垃圾堆撿來的破舊衣服,看到糞堆里丟棄的破爛衣服,有的被大便污染,有的被小便、鼻涕、唾液和其他不潔之物污染。看到后,用左手拿著,右手展開,如果不是被大便、小便、鼻涕、唾液和其他不潔之物污染的地方,而且還結實,就撕下來。同樣,諸位賢者!如果有人行為不檢點,但言語清凈,不要去想他行為不檢點,只應當想他言語清凈。有智慧的人看到這種情況,即使產生憤怒,應當這樣消除。 『諸位賢者!如果有人言語不檢點,但行為清凈,有智慧的人看到這種情況,即使產生憤怒,應當如何消除呢?諸位賢者!就像村外不遠的地方,有一個被枯草覆蓋的深水池。如果有人來,感到非常炎熱煩悶,飢渴疲憊,被熱風吹襲,他來到池邊,脫下衣服放在岸上,就進入池中,用雙手撥開枯草,盡情地洗浴,消除炎熱煩悶,飢渴疲憊。同樣,諸位賢者!如果有人言語不檢點,但行為清凈,不要去想他言語不檢點,只應當想他行為清凈。有智慧的人看到這種情況,即使產生憤怒,應當這樣消除。 『諸位賢者!如果有人行為不檢點,言語也不檢點,但內心稍微清凈,有智慧的人看到這種情況,即使產生憤怒,應當如何消除呢?諸位賢者!就像在十字路口,有牛蹄印留下的水。如果有人來,感到非常炎熱煩悶,飢渴疲憊,被熱風吹襲,他會這樣想:『這十字路口牛蹄印里的水很少,如果用手或樹葉去取,就會攪渾,不能消除我的炎熱煩悶和飢渴疲憊。我寧可跪下,用手和膝蓋拍地,用嘴喝水。』
'Venerable ones! If there is a person who engages in impure conduct of body, but pure conduct of speech, and a wise person sees this, and if anger arises, how should it be removed? Venerable ones! It is like a forest-dwelling monk who wears robes made from discarded rags, and sees discarded rags in a refuse heap, some soiled by excrement, some by urine, mucus, saliva, and other impurities. Having seen this, he holds it with his left hand, and stretches out his right hand, and if it is not soiled by excrement, urine, mucus, saliva, or other impurities, and is still strong, he tears it off. Likewise, venerable ones! If there is a person who engages in impure conduct of body, but pure conduct of speech, do not dwell on his impure conduct of body, but only dwell on his pure conduct of speech. If a wise person sees this, and if anger arises, it should be removed in this way.' 'Venerable ones! If there is a person who engages in impure conduct of speech, but pure conduct of body, and a wise person sees this, and if anger arises, how should it be removed? Venerable ones! It is like a deep pond not far from a village, covered with dry grass. If someone comes, feeling extremely hot and troubled, hungry and exhausted, oppressed by the hot wind, he goes to the pond, takes off his clothes and places them on the bank, then enters the pond, pushes aside the dry grass with both hands, and bathes freely, removing the heat, trouble, hunger, and exhaustion. Likewise, venerable ones! If there is a person who engages in impure conduct of speech, but pure conduct of body, do not dwell on his impure conduct of speech, but only dwell on his pure conduct of body. If a wise person sees this, and if anger arises, it should be removed in this way.' 'Venerable ones! If there is a person who engages in impure conduct of body, and impure conduct of speech, but has a little purity of mind, and a wise person sees this, and if anger arises, how should it be removed? Venerable ones! It is like water in a cow's hoofprint at a crossroads. If someone comes, feeling extremely hot and troubled, hungry and exhausted, oppressed by the hot wind, he thinks: 'This water in the cow's hoofprint at the crossroads is very little, if I take it with my hand or a leaf, it will become stirred and muddy, and will not remove my heat, trouble, hunger, and exhaustion. I would rather kneel down, pat the ground with my hands and knees, and drink the water with my mouth.'
。』彼即長跪,手膝拍地,以口飲水,彼即得除熱極煩悶、飢渴頓乏。如是,諸賢!或有一人身不凈行,口不凈行,心少有凈,莫得念彼身不凈行,口不凈行,但當念彼心少有凈。諸賢!若慧者見,設生恚惱,應如是除。
「諸賢!或有一人身不凈行,口、意不凈行,若慧者見,設生恚惱,當云何除?諸賢!猶如有人遠涉長路,中道得病,極困委頓,獨無伴侶,后村轉遠,而前村未至。若有人來住一面,見此行人遠涉長路,中道得病,極困委頓,獨無伴侶,后村轉遠,而前村未至,彼若得侍人,從迥野中,將至村邑,與妙湯藥,餔養美食,好瞻視者,如是此人病必得差,謂彼人於此病人,極有哀愍慈念之心。如是,諸賢!或有一人身不凈行,口、意不凈行,若慧者見,便作是念:『此賢身不凈行,口、意不凈行,莫令此賢因身不凈行,口、意不凈行,身壞命終,趣至惡處,生地獄中。若此賢得善知識者,捨身不凈行,修身凈行,舍口、意不凈行,修口、意凈行。如是,此賢因身凈行,口、意凈行,身壞命終,必至善處,乃生天上。』謂彼賢為此賢極有哀愍慈念之心,若慧者見,設生恚惱,應如是除
現代漢語譯本:他立刻長跪,手和膝蓋拍地,用嘴喝水,這樣他就消除了極度的熱惱、飢渴和疲乏。諸位賢者!或許有個人行為不檢點,言語不檢點,但內心稍微有些純凈,不要去想他行為不檢點,言語不檢點,而應當想他內心稍微有些純凈。諸位賢者!如果智者看到這種情況,即使產生惱怒,也應當這樣消除。 諸位賢者!或許有個人行為不檢點,言語和思想都不檢點,如果智者看到這種情況,即使產生惱怒,應當如何消除呢?諸位賢者!就像有個人長途跋涉,中途生病,非常困頓疲憊,獨自一人沒有同伴,後面的村莊越來越遠,而前面的村莊還沒到達。如果有人來到他身邊,看到這個人長途跋涉,中途生病,非常困頓疲憊,獨自一人沒有同伴,後面的村莊越來越遠,而前面的村莊還沒到達,如果他能得到侍奉的人,從荒野中將他帶到村莊,給他美味的湯藥,餵養他美食,好好照顧他,這樣這個人的病一定會好,這個人對這個病人,是非常憐憫慈愛的。諸位賢者!或許有個人行為不檢點,言語和思想都不檢點,如果智者看到這種情況,就會這樣想:『這個人行為不檢點,言語和思想都不檢點,不要讓這個人因為行為不檢點,言語和思想都不檢點,身死命終,去到惡處,生在地獄中。如果這個人能遇到善知識,就會捨棄行為不檢點,修習行為檢點,捨棄言語和思想不檢點,修習言語和思想檢點。這樣,這個人因為行為檢點,言語和思想檢點,身死命終,必定會去到善處,乃至於生到天上。』這個人對這個人是非常憐憫慈愛的,如果智者看到這種情況,即使產生惱怒,也應當這樣消除。
English version: He immediately knelt down, his hands and knees touching the ground, and drank water with his mouth, and thus he eliminated the extreme heat, vexation, hunger, thirst, and exhaustion. O virtuous ones! Perhaps there is a person whose actions are impure, whose speech is impure, but whose mind is slightly pure. Do not dwell on their impure actions and impure speech, but rather focus on the slight purity of their mind. O virtuous ones! If a wise person sees this, even if anger arises, they should eliminate it in this way. O virtuous ones! Perhaps there is a person whose actions are impure, and whose speech and thoughts are impure. If a wise person sees this, even if anger arises, how should they eliminate it? O virtuous ones! It is like a person who has traveled a long distance, falls ill midway, is extremely tired and exhausted, alone without companions, the village behind is getting farther away, and the village ahead has not yet been reached. If someone comes to their side and sees this person who has traveled a long distance, fallen ill midway, is extremely tired and exhausted, alone without companions, the village behind is getting farther away, and the village ahead has not yet been reached, if they can get someone to serve them, to bring them from the wilderness to the village, give them delicious soup and medicine, feed them good food, and take good care of them, then this person's illness will surely be cured. This person has extreme compassion and loving-kindness for this sick person. O virtuous ones! Perhaps there is a person whose actions are impure, and whose speech and thoughts are impure. If a wise person sees this, they will think: 'This virtuous one's actions are impure, and their speech and thoughts are impure. Do not let this virtuous one, because of their impure actions, speech, and thoughts, die and go to an evil place, to be born in hell. If this virtuous one can meet a good teacher, they will abandon impure actions and cultivate pure actions, abandon impure speech and thoughts and cultivate pure speech and thoughts. In this way, this virtuous one, because of their pure actions, speech, and thoughts, will surely go to a good place after death, even to be born in heaven.' This person has extreme compassion and loving-kindness for this virtuous one. If a wise person sees this, even if anger arises, they should eliminate it in this way.
「諸賢!或有一人身凈行,口、意凈行,若慧者見,設生恚惱,當云何除?諸賢!猶村外不遠,有好池水,既清且美,其淵平滿,翠草被岸,華樹四周,若有人來,熱極煩悶,飢渴頓乏,風熱所逼,彼至池已,脫衣置岸,便入池中,恣意快浴,除熱煩悶、飢渴頓乏。如是,諸賢!或有一人身凈行,口、意凈行,常當念彼身之凈行,口、意凈行,若慧者見,設生恚惱,應如是除。諸賢!我向所說五除惱法者,因此故說。」

'Venerable ones! If there is a person who is pure in bodily conduct, pure in speech, and pure in mind, and if a wise person sees him and anger or annoyance arises, how should it be removed? Venerable ones! It is like a pond not far from a village, with clear and beautiful water, deep and full, with lush green grass covering the banks, and flowering trees all around. If someone comes there, feeling extremely hot and troubled, hungry and exhausted, and oppressed by the hot wind, upon reaching the pond, he takes off his clothes and places them on the bank, then enters the pond and bathes to his heart's content, removing the heat, trouble, hunger, and exhaustion. Similarly, venerable ones! If there is a person who is pure in bodily conduct, pure in speech, and pure in mind, one should always remember his purity of bodily conduct, purity of speech, and purity of mind. If a wise person sees him and anger or annoyance arises, it should be removed in this way. Venerable ones! The five methods of removing annoyance that I spoke of earlier were spoken for this reason.' Thus spoke the Venerable Sariputta. The monks, having heard this, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The fifth 'Water Simile Sutra' is complete (1101 words) The fifth scroll of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' (7174 words) (Recited on the first day) Taisho Tripitaka Volume 01 No. 0026 'Madhyama Agama Sutra'

At that time, the monk Gonisika was also traveling in Rajagriha, residing in a vacant room. He was playful, arrogant, restless, forgetful, and his mind was like a monkey's. The monk Gonisika came to Rajagriha for some minor matter. At that time, the Venerable Sariputta, together with the assembly of monks, after having their midday meal, gathered in the lecture hall because of some minor matter. The monk Gonisika, having finished his business in Rajagriha, went to the lecture hall.

Venerable Sariputta, seeing Koniya coming from afar, addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'Friends, a bhikkhu who is unoccupied, when unoccupied, should learn to be respectful and observant. Friends, if a bhikkhu who is unoccupied, when unoccupied, is often disrespectful and not observant, he will be rebuked and questioned by the bhikkhus: 『This venerable one is unoccupied, why is he walking around unoccupied? What is the reason? This venerable one is unoccupied, walking around unoccupied, is often disrespectful and not observant, and if he goes into the assembly, he will also be rebuked and questioned by the bhikkhus.』 Therefore, friends, a bhikkhu who is unoccupied, when unoccupied, should learn to be respectful, so that he is observant.

是時,有一比丘于王舍城受夏坐訖,過三月已,補治衣竟,攝衣持缽,從王舍城往舍衛國,住勝林給孤獨園。彼一比丘往詣尊者舍梨子所,稽首禮足,卻坐一面。
尊者舍梨子問曰:「賢者!從何處來,於何夏坐?」
彼一比丘答曰:「尊者舍梨子!我從王舍城來,在王舍城受夏坐。」
復問:「賢者!世尊在王舍城受夏坐,聖體康強,安快無病,起居輕便,氣力如常耶?」
答曰:「如是

At that time, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana was also in the assembly. The venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana said, 'Venerable Śāriputra! Even a bhikkhu who is idle should practice such a Dharma, how much more so a bhikkhu among humans?' The venerable Śāriputra replied, 'Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! Even an idle bhikkhu should practice such a Dharma, how much more so a bhikkhu among humans?' Thus, the two venerable ones praised each other, extolling what was well said. Having heard what was said, they rose from their seats and departed. Respectful, not jesting, not engaging in worldly talk, not arrogant, guarding the senses, content with food, diligent, with right mindfulness and wisdom, knowing the proper time, also good at sitting in meditation, discussing the Vinaya and Abhidhamma, and speaking of the cessation of liberation, and also the extinction of outflows.

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Rājagṛha, in the Bamboo Grove, Kalandaka's Garden, together with a large assembly of bhikkhus, observing the rainy season retreat. At that time, the venerable Śāriputra was also observing the rainy season retreat in Śrāvastī. Then, a certain bhikkhu, having completed the rainy season retreat in Rājagṛha, after three months, having mended his robes, taking his robes and bowl, went from Rājagṛha to Śrāvastī, staying in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park. That bhikkhu went to the venerable Śāriputra, bowed his head at his feet, and sat down to one side. The venerable Śāriputra asked, 'Venerable one! From where have you come, and where did you observe the rainy season retreat?' That bhikkhu replied, 'Venerable Śāriputra! I have come from Rājagṛha, and I observed the rainy season retreat in Rājagṛha.' He further asked, 'Venerable one! The Blessed One observed the rainy season retreat in Rājagṛha, is he healthy, comfortable, without illness, light in his movements, and with his strength as usual?' He replied, 'Yes.'

梵志陀然復再三請食,尊者舍梨子亦再三語曰:「止!止!陀然,但心喜足
復又問:『賢者!梵志陀然住在王舍城,身體健康強壯,安樂無病,起居輕便,氣力如常,他想經常見到佛陀,喜歡聽聞佛法嗎?』 回答說:『尊者舍利子!梵志陀然住在王舍城,身體健康強壯,安樂無病,起居輕便,氣力如常,但他不想見佛,也不喜歡聽聞佛法。這是為什麼呢?尊者舍利子!因為梵志陀然不精進修行,違反了戒律,他依附於國王,欺騙梵志和居士,又依仗梵志和居士,反過來欺騙國王。』 尊者舍利子聽了這些話,在舍衛國安居過夏之後,過了三個月,修補好衣服,收拾好衣缽,就從舍衛國前往王舍城,住在竹林加蘭哆園。 於是,尊者舍利子第二天清晨,穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入王舍城,依次乞食。乞食完畢后,就前往梵志陀然的家。當時,梵志陀然正從家中出來,到泉水邊懲罰百姓。梵志陀然遠遠地看見尊者舍利子來了,就從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,合掌向尊者舍利子問候說:『歡迎您,舍利子!舍利子您很久沒來了。』於是,梵志陀然恭敬地扶著尊者舍利子,請他進入家中,為他鋪設好床鋪,請他坐下。尊者舍利子就坐到床上。梵志陀然見尊者舍利子坐下後,就拿著金澡罐,請尊者舍利子吃飯。 尊者舍利子說:『停!停!陀然!只要心生歡喜就足夠了。』 梵志陀然又再三請求吃飯,尊者舍利子也再三地說:『停!停!陀然,只要心生歡喜就足夠了。』
He further asked: 'Good sir! Does the Brahmin Dharana, who resides in Rajagriha, enjoy good health, comfort, and freedom from illness, with ease of movement, strength as usual, and a desire to frequently see the Buddha and delight in hearing the Dharma?' He replied: 'Venerable Shariputra! The Brahmin Dharana resides in Rajagriha, enjoying good health, comfort, and freedom from illness, with ease of movement, strength as usual, but he does not wish to see the Buddha, nor does he delight in hearing the Dharma. Why is this? Venerable Shariputra! Because the Brahmin Dharana is not diligent, he violates the precepts. He relies on the king, deceiving Brahmins and householders, and relying on Brahmins and householders, he deceives the king.' Having heard this, Venerable Shariputra, after completing the summer retreat in Shravasti, and after three months had passed, having mended his robes, and taking his robes and bowl, departed from Shravasti and went to Rajagriha, staying in the Bamboo Grove Kalandaka Garden. Then, Venerable Shariputra, the next morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered Rajagriha, and went about begging for alms. Having finished begging, he went to the house of the Brahmin Dharana. At that time, the Brahmin Dharana was coming out of his house, going to the spring to punish the people. The Brahmin Dharana, seeing Venerable Shariputra from afar, rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, and with hands clasped, greeted Venerable Shariputra, saying: 'Welcome, Shariputra! It has been a long time since you came here.' Then, the Brahmin Dharana respectfully supported Venerable Shariputra, led him into his house, prepared a good bed for him, and invited him to sit. Venerable Shariputra then sat on the bed. The Brahmin Dharana, seeing that Venerable Shariputra was seated, took a golden washbasin and invited Venerable Shariputra to eat. Venerable Shariputra said: 'Stop! Stop! Dharana! It is enough to be content in heart.' The Brahmin Dharana again requested him to eat three times, and Venerable Shariputra also said three times: 'Stop! Stop! Dharana, it is enough to be content in heart.'
是時,梵志陀然問曰:「舍梨子!何故入如是家而不肯食?」
答曰:「陀然!汝不精進,犯于禁戒,依傍于王,欺誑梵志、居士,依傍梵志、居士,欺誑于王。」
梵志陀然答曰:「舍梨子!當知我今在家,以家業為事,我應自安隱,供養父母,瞻視妻子,供給奴婢,當輸王租,祠祀諸天,祭啜先祖及佈施沙門、梵志,為後生天而得長壽,得樂果報故。舍梨子!是一切事不可得疑,一向從法。」
於是,尊者舍梨子告曰:「陀然!我今問汝,隨所解答。梵志陀然!于意云何?若使有人為父母故而行作惡,因行惡故,身壞命終趣至惡處,生地獄中。生地獄已,獄卒執捉,極苦治時,彼向獄卒而作是語:『獄卒!當知,莫苦治我。所以者何?我為父母故而行作惡。』云何?陀然!彼人可得從地獄卒脫此苦耶?」
復問:「陀然!于意云何?若復有人為妻子故而行作惡,因行惡故,身壞命終趣至惡處生地獄中。生地獄已,獄卒執捉,極苦治時,彼向獄卒而作是語:『獄卒!當知,莫苦治我。所以者何?我為妻子故而行作惡。』云何?陀然!彼人可得從地獄卒脫此苦耶?」
答曰:「不也
當時,梵志陀然問道:『舍利子!你為何進入這樣的家卻不肯吃飯?』 舍利子回答說:『陀然!你不精進修行,違犯戒律,依附於國王,欺騙婆羅門和居士;依附婆羅門和居士,欺騙國王。』 梵志陀然回答說:『舍利子!你要知道我現在是在家之人,以家業為事,我應該讓自己安穩,供養父母,照顧妻子,供給奴婢,繳納王稅,祭祀諸天,祭奠先祖,並佈施給沙門和婆羅門,爲了來世能夠昇天,獲得長壽和快樂的果報。舍利子!這一切事情都無可置疑,完全符合法理。』 於是,尊者舍利子說道:『陀然!我現在問你,你隨所知道的回答。梵志陀然!你認為如何?如果有人爲了父母而做惡事,因為做惡事,身死命終后墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。生於地獄后,獄卒抓住他,施以極刑時,他向獄卒說:『獄卒!你要知道,不要這樣折磨我。為什麼呢?因為我是爲了父母才做惡事的。』你認為如何?陀然!這個人可以從獄卒那裡逃脫這種痛苦嗎?』 回答說:『不能。』 又問:『陀然!你認為如何?如果又有人爲了妻子而做惡事,因為做惡事,身死命終后墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。生於地獄后,獄卒抓住他,施以極刑時,他向獄卒說:『獄卒!你要知道,不要這樣折磨我。為什麼呢?因為我是爲了妻子才做惡事的。』你認為如何?陀然!這個人可以從獄卒那裡逃脫這種痛苦嗎?』
At that time, the Brahmin Dhorana asked: 'Sariputta! Why do you enter such a house but refuse to eat?' Sariputta replied: 'Dhorana! You are not diligent in practice, you violate the precepts, you rely on the king, deceiving Brahmins and householders; you rely on Brahmins and householders, deceiving the king.' The Brahmin Dhorana replied: 'Sariputta! You should know that I am now a householder, engaged in household affairs. I should make myself secure, support my parents, care for my wife, provide for my servants, pay taxes to the king, worship the gods, make offerings to my ancestors, and give alms to ascetics and Brahmins, so that in the next life I may be born in heaven, attain long life, and receive the reward of happiness. Sariputta! All these things are beyond doubt, and are entirely in accordance with the Dharma.' Then, the venerable Sariputta said: 'Dhorana! I will now ask you, answer as you know. Brahmin Dhorana! What do you think? If someone does evil for the sake of their parents, and because of doing evil, after death they fall into an evil realm and are born in hell. After being born in hell, the hell guards seize them and inflict extreme torture, and they say to the guards: 'Guards! You should know, do not torture me like this. Why? Because I did evil for the sake of my parents.' What do you think? Dhorana! Can that person escape this suffering from the hell guards?' He replied: 'No.' He asked again: 'Dhorana! What do you think? If someone again does evil for the sake of their wife, and because of doing evil, after death they fall into an evil realm and are born in hell. After being born in hell, the hell guards seize them and inflict extreme torture, and they say to the guards: 'Guards! You should know, do not torture me like this. Why? Because I did evil for the sake of my wife.' What do you think? Dhorana! Can that person escape this suffering from the hell guards?'
復問:「陀然!于意云何?若復有人為奴婢故,而行作惡,因行惡故,身壞命終趣至惡處,生地獄中。生地獄已,獄卒執捉,極苦治時,彼向獄卒而作是語:『獄卒!當知,莫苦治我。所以者何?我為奴婢故而行作惡。』云何?陀然,彼人可得從地獄卒脫此苦耶?」
復問:「陀然!于意云何?若復有人為王、為天、為先祖,為沙門、梵志故,而行作惡,因行惡故,身壞命終趣至惡處,生地獄中。生地獄已,獄卒執捉,極苦治時,彼向獄卒而作是語:『獄卒!當知,莫苦治我。所以者何?我為王、為天、為先祖,為沙門、梵志故,而行作惡。』云何?陀然,彼人可得從地獄卒脫此苦耶?」
「陀然!族姓子可得如法、如業、如功德得錢財,尊重奉敬孝養父母,行福德業,不作惡業。陀然!若族姓子如法、如業、如功德得錢財,尊重奉敬孝養父母,行福德業,不作惡業者,彼便為父母之所愛念,而作是言:『令汝強健,壽考無窮。所以者何?我由汝故,安隱快樂。』陀然!若有人極為父母所愛念者,其德日進,終無衰退。
「陀然!族姓子可得如法、如業、如功德得錢財,愛念妻子,供給瞻視,行福德業,不作惡業
又問:『陀然!你認為如何?如果有人因為做奴婢的緣故而作惡,因為作惡的緣故,身死命終后墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。生於地獄之後,獄卒抓住他,施以極刑折磨時,他向獄卒說:『獄卒!你要知道,不要這樣折磨我。為什麼呢?我因為做奴婢的緣故才作惡。』你認為如何?陀然,這個人可以從獄卒那裡逃脫這種痛苦嗎?』 又問:『陀然!你認為如何?如果有人爲了國王、爲了天神、爲了祖先、爲了沙門、婆羅門的緣故而作惡,因為作惡的緣故,身死命終后墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。生於地獄之後,獄卒抓住他,施以極刑折磨時,他向獄卒說:『獄卒!你要知道,不要這樣折磨我。為什麼呢?我爲了國王、爲了天神、爲了祖先、爲了沙門、婆羅門的緣故才作惡。』你認為如何?陀然,這個人可以從獄卒那裡逃脫這種痛苦嗎?』 『陀然!善男子可以通過如法、如業、如功德的方式獲得錢財,尊重奉養孝敬父母,行善積德,不做惡事。陀然!如果善男子通過如法、如業、如功德的方式獲得錢財,尊重奉養孝敬父母,行善積德,不做惡事,那麼他就會被父母所愛戴,父母會說:『愿你身體健康,長壽無疆。為什麼呢?我因為你的緣故,才能安穩快樂。』陀然!如果有人被父母極其愛戴,他的德行就會日益增長,永遠不會衰退。 『陀然!善男子可以通過如法、如業、如功德的方式獲得錢財,愛護妻子,供養照顧,行善積德,不做惡事。
Again he asked: 『T陀然! What do you think? If someone commits evil deeds because of being a slave, and because of committing evil deeds, their body breaks and they die, going to an evil place, being born in hell. After being born in hell, the hell guards seize them and inflict extreme torture. Then, they say to the hell guards: 『Hell guards! You should know, do not torture me like this. Why? I committed evil deeds because I was a slave.』 What do you think? T陀然, can that person escape this suffering from the hell guards?』 He answered: 『No.』 Again he asked: 『T陀然! What do you think? If someone commits evil deeds for the sake of a king, for the sake of a god, for the sake of ancestors, for the sake of ascetics or Brahmins, and because of committing evil deeds, their body breaks and they die, going to an evil place, being born in hell. After being born in hell, the hell guards seize them and inflict extreme torture. Then, they say to the hell guards: 『Hell guards! You should know, do not torture me like this. Why? I committed evil deeds for the sake of a king, for the sake of a god, for the sake of ancestors, for the sake of ascetics or Brahmins.』 What do you think? T陀然, can that person escape this suffering from the hell guards?』 『T陀然! A man of good family can obtain wealth through lawful means, through righteous actions, and through meritorious deeds, respect and honor and support his parents, perform virtuous deeds, and not commit evil deeds. T陀然! If a man of good family obtains wealth through lawful means, through righteous actions, and through meritorious deeds, respects and honors and supports his parents, performs virtuous deeds, and does not commit evil deeds, then he will be loved and cherished by his parents, and they will say: 『May you be strong and live a long life.

A man of good family can obtain wealth through lawful means, through righteous actions, and through meritorious deeds, love his wife, provide for and care for her, perform virtuous deeds, and not commit evil deeds.
。陀然!若族姓子如法、如業、如功德得錢財,愛念妻子,供給瞻視,行福德業,不作惡業者,彼便為妻子之所尊重,而作是言:『愿尊強健,壽考無窮。所以者何?我由尊故,安隱快樂。』陀然!若有人極為妻子所尊重者,其德日進,終無衰退。

於是,梵志陀然即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向尊者舍梨子白曰:「舍梨子!我有愛婦,名曰端正,我惑彼故,而為放逸,大作罪業
現代漢語譯本:陀然!如果一個家族的子弟通過正當的方式、合法的途徑、憑藉自身的功德獲得錢財,愛護自己的妻子,供養照顧她,行善積德,不做惡事,那麼他就會受到妻子的尊重,妻子會說:『愿您身體健康,長壽無疆。為什麼呢?因為有您,我才能安穩快樂。』陀然!如果有人非常受妻子尊重,他的德行就會日益增長,永遠不會衰退。 陀然!家族子弟可以通過正當的方式、合法的途徑、憑藉自身的功德獲得錢財,憐憫愛護奴婢,給予他們照顧,行善積德,不做惡事。陀然!如果一個家族的子弟通過正當的方式、合法的途徑、憑藉自身的功德獲得錢財,憐憫愛護奴婢,給予他們照顧,行善積德,不做惡事,那麼他就會受到奴婢的尊重,奴婢會說:『愿主人身體健康,長壽無疆。為什麼呢?因為有主人,我們才能安穩。』陀然!如果有人非常受奴婢尊重,他的德行就會日益增長,永遠不會衰退。 陀然!家族子弟可以通過正當的方式、合法的途徑、憑藉自身的功德獲得錢財,尊重供養沙門、婆羅門,行善積德,不做惡事。陀然!如果一個家族的子弟通過正當的方式、合法的途徑、憑藉自身的功德獲得錢財,尊重供養沙門、婆羅門,行善積德,不做惡事,那麼他就會非常受沙門、婆羅門的愛戴,他們會說:『愿施主身體健康,長壽無疆。為什麼呢?因為有施主,我們才能安穩快樂。』陀然!如果有人非常受沙門、婆羅門愛戴,他的德行就會日益增長,永遠不會衰退。」 於是,婆羅門陀然立刻從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,雙手合十,向尊者舍利弗說道:『舍利弗!我有一個愛妻,名叫端正,我因為迷戀她,所以放縱自己,做了很多罪惡的事情。』
English version: 'T陀然! If a man of good family obtains wealth through lawful means, righteous conduct, and meritorious deeds, cherishes his wife, provides for her, and engages in virtuous actions while avoiding evil ones, then he will be respected by his wife, who will say: 『May you be strong and live long. Why? Because through you, I am secure and happy.』 T陀然! If someone is highly respected by his wife, his virtue will increase daily and never decline. 'T陀然!

Why? Because through the benefactor, we are secure and happy.』 T陀然! If someone is greatly loved by ascetics and Brahmins, his virtue will increase daily and never decline.' Then, the Brahmin T陀然 immediately rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, and with his hands clasped together, said to the venerable Sariputta: 『Sariputta! I have a beloved wife named Endearing. Because I am infatuated with her, I have become indulgent and committed many sinful acts.』
。舍梨子!我從今日始,舍端正婦,自歸尊者舍梨子。」
尊者舍梨子答曰:「陀然!汝莫歸我,我所歸佛汝應自歸。」
梵志陀然白曰:「尊者舍梨子!我從今日自歸於佛、法及比丘眾,唯愿尊者舍梨子受我為佛優婆塞,終身自歸,乃至命盡。」
於是,尊者舍梨子為梵志陀然說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,從坐起去,游王舍城,住經數日,攝衣持缽,從王舍城出,往詣南山,住南山村北尸攝和林中。
彼時,有一比丘游王舍城,住經數日,攝衣持缽,從王舍城出,亦至南山,住南山村北尸攝和林中。
於是,彼一比丘往詣尊者舍梨子所,稽首禮足,卻坐一面。
尊者舍梨子問曰:「賢者!從何處來?何處遊行?」
比丘答曰:「尊者舍梨子!我從王舍城來,遊行王舍城。」
復問:「賢者!知王舍城有一梵志,名曰陀然,是我昔日未出家友耶?」
答曰:「知也。」
答曰:「尊者舍梨子!梵志陀然欲數見佛,欲數聞法,但不安快,氣力轉衰
現代漢語譯本:『舍利子!我從今天開始,捨棄端正的妻子,自己歸依尊者舍利子。』 尊者舍利子回答說:『陀然!你不要歸依我,我所歸依的是佛,你應該自己歸依。』 梵志陀然說道:『尊者舍利子!我從今天開始自己歸依佛、法以及比丘僧眾,只希望尊者舍利子接受我成為佛的優婆塞,終身歸依,直到生命結束。』 於是,尊者舍利子為梵志陀然說法,勸導他生起渴求,成就歡喜,用無量方便為他說法,勸導他生起渴求,成就歡喜后,便從座位起身離去,遊歷王舍城,住了幾天,整理好衣缽,從王舍城出發,前往南山,住在南山村北的尸攝和林中。 當時,有一位比丘遊歷王舍城,住了幾天,整理好衣缽,從王舍城出發,也到了南山,住在南山村北的尸攝和林中。 於是,那位比丘前往尊者舍利子所在的地方,頂禮他的雙足,然後退坐在一旁。 尊者舍利子問道:『賢者!你從哪裡來?要到哪裡去?』 比丘回答說:『尊者舍利子!我從王舍城來,要回王舍城去。』 又問:『賢者!你是否知道王舍城有一位梵志,名叫陀然,是我以前未出家時的朋友?』 回答說:『知道。』 又問:『賢者!梵志陀然住在王舍城,身體健康強壯,安樂無病,起居輕便,氣力如常,想要經常見到佛,樂於聽聞佛法嗎?』 回答說:『尊者舍利子!梵志陀然想要經常見到佛,想要經常聽聞佛法,但是身體不安樂,氣力逐漸衰弱。』
English version: 'Sariputta! From this day forth, I renounce my virtuous wife and take refuge in the venerable Sariputta.' The venerable Sariputta replied, 'Dharana! You should not take refuge in me. I take refuge in the Buddha; you should take refuge yourself.' The Brahmin Dharana said, 'Venerable Sariputta! From this day forth, I take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. I only wish that the venerable Sariputta would accept me as a lay disciple of the Buddha, taking refuge for life, until the end of my days.' Then, the venerable Sariputta preached the Dharma to the Brahmin Dharana, encouraging him to develop longing and achieve joy. After preaching the Dharma with countless skillful means, encouraging him to develop longing and achieve joy, he rose from his seat and departed, traveling to Rajagaha. After staying there for several days, he arranged his robes and bowl, left Rajagaha, and went to the Southern Mountain, dwelling in the Shishapavana Grove north of the village of Southern Mountain. At that time, a certain bhikkhu traveled to Rajagaha. After staying there for several days, he arranged his robes and bowl, left Rajagaha, and also went to the Southern Mountain, dwelling in the Shishapavana Grove north of the village of Southern Mountain. Then, that bhikkhu went to where the venerable Sariputta was, bowed his head at his feet, and sat down to one side. The venerable Sariputta asked, 'Friend! Where have you come from? Where are you going?' The bhikkhu replied, 'Venerable Sariputta! I have come from Rajagaha and am going back to Rajagaha.' He asked again, 'Friend! Do you know of a Brahmin in Rajagaha named Dharana, who was a friend of mine before I left home?' He replied, 'I know him.' He asked again, 'Friend! Does the Brahmin Dharana, living in Rajagaha, have a strong and healthy body, is he comfortable and without illness, is his movement easy, is his strength as usual, does he wish to see the Buddha often, and does he enjoy hearing the Dharma?' He replied, 'Venerable Sariputta! The Brahmin Dharana wishes to see the Buddha often and wishes to hear the Dharma often, but he is not comfortable, and his strength is gradually declining.'
。所以者何?尊者舍梨子!梵志陀然今者疾病,極困危篤,或能因此而至命終。」
尊者舍梨子聞是語已,即攝衣持缽,從南山出,至王舍城,住竹林加蘭哆園。於是,尊者舍梨子過夜平旦,著衣持缽,往詣梵志陀然家。梵志陀然遙見尊者舍梨子來,見已便欲從床而起,尊者舍梨子見梵志陀然欲從床起,便止彼曰:「梵志陀然!汝臥勿起,更有餘床,我自別坐。」
於是,尊者舍梨子即坐其床,坐已,問曰:「陀然!所患今者何似,飲食多少,疾苦轉損,不至增耶?」
陀然答曰:「所患至困,飲食不進,疾苦但增而不覺損。尊者舍梨子!猶如力士以利刀刺頭,但生極苦,我今頭痛亦復如是。尊者舍梨子!猶如力士以緊索繩而纏絡頭,但生極苦,我今頭痛亦復如是。尊者舍梨子!猶屠牛兒而以利刀破于牛腹,但生極苦,我今腹痛亦復如是。尊者舍梨子!猶兩力士捉一羸人在火上炙,但生極苦,我今身痛,舉體生苦,但增不減,亦復如是。」
尊者舍梨子告曰:「陀然!我今問汝,隨所解答。梵志陀然!于意云何?地獄、畜生,何者為勝?」
陀然答曰:「畜生勝也。」
復問:「陀然!畜生、餓鬼,何者為勝?」
陀然答曰:「餓鬼勝也
現代漢語譯本:這是為什麼呢?尊者舍利子!婆羅門陀然現在病得很重,非常虛弱,或許會因此而喪命。 尊者舍利子聽到這話后,立即整理好衣物,拿著缽,從南山出發,來到王舍城,住在竹林加蘭哆園。於是,尊者舍利子在天亮時,穿好衣服,拿著缽,前往婆羅門陀然的家。婆羅門陀然遠遠地看見尊者舍利子來了,看到后就想從床上起來,尊者舍利子看到婆羅門陀然要從床上起來,就阻止他說:『婆羅門陀然!你躺著別起來,還有別的床,我自己坐。』 於是,尊者舍利子就坐在那張床上,坐下後,問道:『陀然!你現在的病情怎麼樣了,飲食如何,病痛是減輕了,還是更嚴重了呢?』 陀然回答說:『病情非常嚴重,吃不下東西,病痛只是加重,沒有感覺減輕。尊者舍利子!就像一個力士用利刀刺頭一樣,只會產生極大的痛苦,我現在頭痛也是這樣。尊者舍利子!就像一個力士用緊繩子纏住頭一樣,只會產生極大的痛苦,我現在頭痛也是這樣。尊者舍利子!就像屠夫用利刀剖開牛的肚子一樣,只會產生極大的痛苦,我現在腹痛也是這樣。尊者舍利子!就像兩個力士抓住一個虛弱的人在火上烤一樣,只會產生極大的痛苦,我現在身體疼痛,全身都感到痛苦,只是加重沒有減輕,也是這樣。』 尊者舍利子告訴他說:『陀然!我現在問你,你隨自己的想法回答。婆羅門陀然!你認為怎麼樣?地獄和畜生,哪個更好?』 陀然回答說:『畜生更好。』 又問:『陀然!畜生和餓鬼,哪個更好?』 陀然回答說:『餓鬼更好。』
English version: Why is that? Venerable Sariputta! The Brahmin Dhorana is now very ill, extremely weak, and may die because of it. Upon hearing these words, Venerable Sariputta immediately arranged his robes, took his bowl, and departed from South Mountain, arriving at Rajagriha, where he stayed in the Bamboo Grove Kalandaka Garden. Then, at dawn, Venerable Sariputta put on his robes, took his bowl, and went to the home of the Brahmin Dhorana. Brahmin Dhorana saw Venerable Sariputta coming from afar, and upon seeing him, he wanted to get up from the bed. Venerable Sariputta, seeing that Brahmin Dhorana wanted to get up from the bed, stopped him, saying: 'Brahmin Dhorana! You lie down and don't get up, there is another bed, I will sit by myself.' Then, Venerable Sariputta sat on that bed, and after sitting down, he asked: 'Dhorana! How is your illness now, how is your appetite, is the pain lessening, or is it getting worse?' Dhorana replied: 'The illness is very severe, I cannot eat, the pain is only increasing, and I do not feel any relief. Venerable Sariputta! It is like a strong man piercing the head with a sharp knife, it only produces extreme pain, and my headache is like that now. Venerable Sariputta! It is like a strong man wrapping a tight rope around the head, it only produces extreme pain, and my headache is like that now. Venerable Sariputta! It is like a butcher cutting open the belly of a cow with a sharp knife, it only produces extreme pain, and my stomach pain is like that now. Venerable Sariputta! It is like two strong men holding a weak person over a fire, it only produces extreme pain, and my body aches, my whole body feels pain, it only increases and does not decrease, it is like that.' Venerable Sariputta told him: 'Dhorana! I will now ask you, answer according to your thoughts. Brahmin Dhorana! What do you think? Between hell and animals, which is better?' Dhorana replied: 'Animals are better.' He asked again: 'Dhorana! Between animals and hungry ghosts, which is better?' Dhorana replied: 'Hungry ghosts are better.'

陀然答曰:「他化樂天勝。」
復問:「陀然!他化樂天、梵天,何者為勝?」
陀然答曰:「梵天最勝,梵天最勝。」
尊者舍梨子告曰:「陀然!世尊知見,如來、無所著、等正覺說四梵室,謂族姓男、族姓女修習多修習,斷欲、舍慾念,身壞命終,生梵天中
又問:『陀然!餓鬼和人相比,哪個更勝一籌?』 陀然回答說:『人更勝一籌。』 又問:『陀然!人和四王天相比,哪個更勝一籌?』 陀然回答說:『四王天更勝一籌。』 又問:『陀然!四王天和三十三天相比,哪個更勝一籌?』 陀然回答說:『三十三天更勝一籌。』 又問:『陀然!三十三天和㷿摩天相比,哪個更勝一籌?』 陀然回答說:『㷿摩天更勝一籌。』 又問:『陀然!㷿摩天和兜率陀天相比,哪個更勝一籌?』 陀然回答說:『兜率陀天更勝一籌。』 又問:『陀然!兜率陀天和化樂天相比,哪個更勝一籌?』 陀然回答說:『化樂天更勝一籌。』 又問:『陀然!化樂天和他化樂天相比,哪個更勝一籌?』 陀然回答說:『他化樂天更勝一籌。』 又問:『陀然!他化樂天和梵天相比,哪個更勝一籌?』 陀然回答說:『梵天最勝,梵天最勝。』 尊者舍利子說道:『陀然!世尊的知見,如來、無所著、等正覺所說的四梵室,是指那些族姓男子、族姓女子修習並多次修習,斷除慾望、捨棄慾念,身壞命終后,會生到梵天之中。』
Again asked: 'Dhorana! Between a hungry ghost and a human, which is superior?' Dhorana replied: 'A human is superior.' Again asked: 'Dhorana! Between a human and the Four Heavenly Kings, which is superior?' Dhorana replied: 'The Four Heavenly Kings are superior.' Again asked: 'Dhorana! Between the Four Heavenly Kings and the Thirty-three Gods, which is superior?' Dhorana replied: 'The Thirty-three Gods are superior.' Again asked: 'Dhorana! Between the Thirty-three Gods and the Yama Heaven, which is superior?' Dhorana replied: 'The Yama Heaven is superior.' Again asked: 'Dhorana! Between the Yama Heaven and the Tusita Heaven, which is superior?' Dhorana replied: 'The Tusita Heaven is superior.' Again asked: 'Dhorana!

Between the Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven and the Brahma Heaven, which is superior?' Dhorana replied: 'The Brahma Heaven is the most superior, the Brahma Heaven is the most superior.' Venerable Sariputta said: 'Dhorana! The World Honored One's knowledge, the Tathagata, the Unattached, the Perfectly Enlightened One, speaks of the four Brahma abodes, which are that clan men and clan women who practice and repeatedly practice, severing desires and abandoning lustful thoughts, upon the destruction of their bodies and the end of their lives, are born into the Brahma Heaven.'
。云何為四?陀然!多聞聖弟子心與慈俱,遍滿一方成就游,如是二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與慈俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游,如是悲、喜心與舍俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。是謂,陀然!世尊知見,如來、無所著、等正覺說四梵室,謂族姓男、族姓女修習多修習,斷欲、舍慾念,身壞命終,生梵天中。」
於是,尊者舍梨子教化陀然,為說梵天法已,從坐起去。尊者舍梨子從王舍城出,未至竹林加蘭哆園,于其中間,梵志陀然修習四梵室,斷欲、舍慾念,身壞命終,生梵天中。
是時,世尊無量大眾前後圍繞而為說法,世尊遙見尊者舍梨子來,告諸比丘:「舍梨子比丘聰慧、速慧、捷慧、利慧、廣慧、深慧、出要慧、明達慧、辯才慧,舍梨子比丘成就實慧。此舍梨子比丘教化梵志陀然,為說梵天法來,若覆上化者,速知法如法。」
於是,尊者舍梨子往詣佛所,稽首禮足,卻坐一面,世尊告曰:「舍梨子!汝何以不教梵志陀然過梵天法,若上化者,速知法如法。」
尊者舍梨子白曰:「世尊!彼諸梵志長夜愛著梵天,樂於梵天,究竟梵天,是尊梵天,實有梵天,為我梵天
現代漢語譯本:什麼是四種(梵室)呢?陀然!多聞的聖弟子心中充滿慈愛,遍及一方,成就修行;如此二方、三方、四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心中充滿慈愛,沒有結縛、沒有怨恨、沒有嗔恚、沒有爭鬥,極其廣大、極其深遠、無量善修,遍滿一切世間,成就修行。同樣,悲心、喜心和舍心也是如此,沒有結縛、沒有怨恨、沒有嗔恚、沒有爭鬥,極其廣大、極其深遠、無量善修,遍滿一切世間,成就修行。這就是,陀然!世尊的知見,如來、無所著、等正覺所說的四梵室,是說族姓男子、族姓女子修習、多修習,斷除慾望、捨棄慾念,身壞命終,生於梵天之中。 於是,尊者舍利子教化陀然,為他說了梵天之法后,從座位起身離去。尊者舍利子從王舍城出來,還沒到竹林加蘭哆園,在這期間,梵志陀然修習四梵室,斷除慾望、捨棄慾念,身壞命終,生於梵天之中。 這時,世尊被無量大眾前後圍繞著說法,世尊遙見尊者舍利子前來,告訴眾比丘:『舍利子比丘聰慧、敏捷、快速、銳利、廣博、深邃、出離、明達、辯才,舍利子比丘成就真實的智慧。這位舍利子比丘教化梵志陀然,為他說了梵天之法而來,如果能更進一步教化,就能迅速了解法,如法修行。』 於是,尊者舍利子前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐一旁,世尊說道:『舍利子!你為什麼不教導梵志陀然超越梵天之法呢?如果能更進一步教化,就能迅速了解法,如法修行。』 尊者舍利子回答說:『世尊!那些梵志長久以來愛著梵天,樂於梵天,以梵天為究竟,認為梵天是尊貴的,梵天是真實存在的,梵天是我的梵天。』
English version: What are the four? Dharana! A well-learned noble disciple dwells with a heart imbued with loving-kindness, pervading one direction, having attained it; likewise the second, third, and fourth directions, the zenith, nadir, and all around, everywhere, with a heart imbued with loving-kindness, without enmity, without ill-will, without anger, without strife, exceedingly vast, immeasurable, well-cultivated, pervading all the world, having attained it. Likewise, with compassion, joy, and equanimity, without enmity, without ill-will, without anger, without strife, exceedingly vast, immeasurable, well-cultivated, pervading all the world, having attained it. This, Dharana, is the knowledge of the Blessed One, the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One, who speaks of the four Brahma abodes, which are practiced and cultivated by clansmen and clanwomen, who, having abandoned desire and lust, at the breaking up of the body after death, are reborn in the Brahma realm. Then, Venerable Sariputta, having instructed Dharana and explained the Brahma path, rose from his seat and departed. Venerable Sariputta, having left Rajagaha, before reaching the Bamboo Grove Kalandaka Park, in that interval, the Brahmin Dharana practiced the four Brahma abodes, having abandoned desire and lust, at the breaking up of the body after death, was reborn in the Brahma realm. At that time, the Blessed One, surrounded by a vast assembly, was teaching the Dharma. The Blessed One, seeing Venerable Sariputta coming from afar, said to the monks: 'Sariputta is wise, quick-witted, swift, sharp, broad, deep, insightful, clear, and eloquent. Sariputta has attained true wisdom. This Sariputta has instructed the Brahmin Dharana, having explained the Brahma path, and has come. If he were to instruct further, he would quickly understand the Dharma and practice it accordingly.' Then, Venerable Sariputta went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at his feet, and sat to one side. The Blessed One said: 'Sariputta! Why did you not teach the Brahmin Dharana beyond the Brahma path? If he were to instruct further, he would quickly understand the Dharma and practice it accordingly.' Venerable Sariputta replied: 'Blessed One! Those Brahmins have long been attached to Brahma, delighting in Brahma, considering Brahma as the ultimate, believing Brahma to be noble, believing Brahma to be real, believing Brahma to be their Brahma.'
。是故,世尊!我如是應。」
佛說如是。尊者舍梨子及無量百千眾,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。
梵志陀然經第七竟(三千三百三十一字)
(二八)中阿含舍梨子相應品教化病經第八(初一日誦)
爾時,長者給孤獨疾病危篤,於是,長者給孤獨告一使人:「汝往詣佛,為我稽首禮世尊足,問訊世尊,聖體康強,安快無病,起居輕便,氣力如常耶?作如是語:『長者給孤獨稽首佛足,問訊世尊:「聖體康強,安快無病,起居輕便,氣力如常耶?」』汝既為我問訊佛已,往詣尊者舍梨子所,為我稽首禮彼足已,問訊尊者,聖體康強,安快無病,起居輕便,氣力如常不?作如是語:『長者給孤獨稽首尊者舍梨子足,問訊尊者:「聖體康強,安快無病,起居輕便,氣力如常不?」尊者舍梨子!長者給孤獨疾病極困,今至危篤,長者給孤獨至心欲見尊者舍梨子,然體至羸乏,無力可來詣尊者舍梨子所。善哉!尊者舍梨子!為慈愍故,愿往至長者給孤獨家
現代漢語譯本:'因此,世尊!我應當如此。' '佛陀如是說。尊者舍利子及無量百千大眾,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。' '《梵志陀然經》第七完(三千三百三十一字)' '(二八)《中阿含·舍利子相應品·教化病經》第八(初一日誦)' '我聽聞是這樣的:' '一時,佛陀在舍衛國游化,住在勝林給孤獨園。' '當時,長者給孤獨身患重病,病情危急。於是,長者給孤獨告訴一個使者:『你前往佛陀那裡,替我頂禮世尊的雙足,問候世尊,聖體是否安康強健,安樂無病,起居輕便,氣力如常?這樣說:「長者給孤獨頂禮佛足,問候世尊:『聖體是否安康強健,安樂無病,起居輕便,氣力如常?』」你替我問候佛陀之後,再去尊者舍利子那裡,替我頂禮他的雙足,問候尊者,聖體是否安康強健,安樂無病,起居輕便,氣力如常?這樣說:「長者給孤獨頂禮尊者舍利子的雙足,問候尊者:『聖體是否安康強健,安樂無病,起居輕便,氣力如常?』」尊者舍利子!長者給孤獨疾病纏身,非常困苦,現在已經到了危急的時刻。長者給孤獨真心想見尊者舍利子,但是身體非常虛弱,沒有力氣前來拜見尊者舍利子。善哉!尊者舍利子!爲了慈悲憐憫,希望您能前往長者給孤獨的家中。』
English version: 'Therefore, O Lord! Thus should I be.' 'The Buddha spoke thus. The Venerable Sariputra and countless hundreds of thousands of people, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.' 'The seventh discourse, the 'Brahmin Dha-ran' is complete (3,331 words).' '(28) The eighth discourse, the 'Teaching on Sickness' from the Sariputra Samyukta of the Madhyama Agama (recited on the first day).' 'Thus have I heard:' 'At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Shravasti, residing in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.' 'At that time, the elder Anathapindika was seriously ill, his condition critical. So, the elder Anathapindika told a messenger: 'Go to the Buddha, bow down to the Blessed One's feet on my behalf, and inquire of the Blessed One, is his holy body healthy and strong, comfortable and without illness, is his movement light and easy, and is his strength as usual? Say this: 「The elder Anathapindika bows down to the Buddha's feet, and inquires of the Blessed One: 『Is your holy body healthy and strong, comfortable and without illness, is your movement light and easy, and is your strength as usual?』」 After you have inquired of the Buddha on my behalf, go to the Venerable Sariputra, bow down to his feet on my behalf, and inquire of the Venerable, is his holy body healthy and strong, comfortable and without illness, is his movement light and easy, and is his strength as usual? Say this: 「The elder Anathapindika bows down to the Venerable Sariputra's feet, and inquires of the Venerable: 『Is your holy body healthy and strong, comfortable and without illness, is your movement light and easy, and is your strength as usual?』」 Venerable Sariputra! The elder Anathapindika is very ill and suffering greatly, and is now in critical condition. The elder Anathapindika sincerely wishes to see the Venerable Sariputra, but his body is very weak and he has no strength to come to the Venerable Sariputra. Good, Venerable Sariputra! Out of compassion, please go to the elder Anathapindika's house.'
。』」
於是,使人受長者給孤獨教已,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,卻住一面,白曰:「世尊!長者給孤獨稽首佛足,問訊世尊:『聖體康強,安快無病,起居輕便,氣力如常耶?』」
爾時,世尊告使人曰:「令長者給孤獨安隱快樂,令天及人、阿修羅、揵塔和、羅剎及餘種種身安隱快樂。」
於是,使人聞佛所說,善受善持,稽首佛足,繞三匝而去,往詣尊者舍梨子所,稽首禮足,卻坐一面,白曰:「尊者舍梨子!長者給孤獨稽首尊者舍梨子足,問訊尊者:『聖體康強,安快無病,起居輕便,氣力如常不?』尊者舍梨子!長者給孤獨疾病極困,今至危篤,長者給孤獨至心欲見尊者舍梨子,然體至羸乏,無力可來詣尊者舍梨子所。善哉!尊者舍梨子!為慈愍故,往詣長者給孤獨家。」
尊者舍梨子即為彼故,默然而受。於是,使人知尊者舍梨子默然受已,即從坐起,稽首作禮,繞三匝而去。
尊者舍梨子過夜平旦,著衣持缽,往詣長者給孤獨家。長者給孤獨遙見尊者舍梨子來,見已,便欲從床而起。
尊者舍梨子見彼長者欲從床起,便止彼曰:「長者莫起!長者莫起!更有餘床,我自別坐
於是,(佛陀)派人受長者給孤獨的教導后,前往佛陀所在之處,叩頭行禮,退到一旁,稟告說:『世尊!長者給孤獨叩拜佛足,問候世尊:『聖體安康,安樂無病,起居輕便,氣力如常嗎?』 當時,世尊告訴使者說:『讓長者給孤獨安穩快樂,讓天人、阿修羅、乾闥婆、羅剎以及其他各種眾生都安穩快樂。』 於是,使者聽了佛陀所說,善加領受,叩拜佛足,繞佛三圈后離去,前往尊者舍利子所在之處,叩頭行禮,退坐一旁,稟告說:『尊者舍利子!長者給孤獨叩拜尊者舍利子足,問候尊者:『聖體安康,安樂無病,起居輕便,氣力如常嗎?』尊者舍利子!長者給孤獨疾病纏身,現在病危,長者給孤獨真心想見尊者舍利子,但身體極度虛弱,無力前來拜見尊者舍利子。懇請尊者舍利子,爲了慈悲,前往長者給孤獨家中。』 尊者舍利子爲了他,默然接受了請求。於是,使者知道尊者舍利子默然接受后,就從座位起身,叩頭行禮,繞三圈后離去。 尊者舍利子第二天清晨,穿好衣服,拿著缽,前往長者給孤獨家。長者給孤獨遠遠看見尊者舍利子來了,看見后,便想從床上起身。 尊者舍利子看見長者想從床上起身,便阻止他說:『長者不要起身!長者不要起身!還有其他床,我自己會另外坐。』
Then, having been instructed by the elder Anathapindika, a messenger went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to the ground, stepped aside, and reported: 'Venerable One! The elder Anathapindika bows at the Buddha's feet and inquires of the Venerable One: 'Is your holy body healthy, peaceful, without illness, your movements light, and your strength as usual?' At that time, the Buddha told the messenger: 'May the elder Anathapindika be peaceful and happy, and may gods, humans, asuras, gandharvas, rakshasas, and all other beings be peaceful and happy.' Then, the messenger, having heard what the Buddha said, received it well and held it well, bowed at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him three times, and departed. He went to where the Venerable Sariputra was, bowed his head to the ground, sat to one side, and reported: 'Venerable Sariputra! The elder Anathapindika bows at the feet of Venerable Sariputra and inquires of the Venerable One: 'Is your holy body healthy, peaceful, without illness, your movements light, and your strength as usual?' Venerable Sariputra! The elder Anathapindika is extremely ill and now in critical condition. The elder Anathapindika sincerely wishes to see Venerable Sariputra, but his body is too weak and he is unable to come to Venerable Sariputra. May the Venerable Sariputra, out of compassion, go to the house of the elder Anathapindika.' The Venerable Sariputra, for his sake, silently accepted. Then, the messenger, knowing that the Venerable Sariputra had silently accepted, rose from his seat, bowed his head in respect, circumambulated him three times, and departed. The Venerable Sariputra, the next morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and went to the house of the elder Anathapindika. The elder Anathapindika saw the Venerable Sariputra coming from afar, and upon seeing him, he wanted to get up from his bed. The Venerable Sariputra, seeing that the elder wanted to get up from his bed, stopped him, saying: 'Elder, do not get up! Elder, do not get up! There are other beds, I will sit separately.'
尊者舍梨子即坐其床,坐已,問曰:「長者所患今復何似,飲食多少,疾苦轉損,不至增耶?」
長者答曰:「所患至困,飲食不進,疾苦但增而不覺損。」
尊者舍梨子告曰:「長者莫怖!長者莫怖!所以者何?若愚癡凡夫成就不信,身壞命終,趣至惡處,生地獄中。長者今日無有不信,唯有上信,長者因上信故,或滅苦痛,生極快樂,因上信故,或得斯陀含果,或阿那含果,長者本已得須陀洹。
「長者莫怖!長者莫怖!所以者何?若愚癡凡夫因惡戒故,身壞命終,趣至惡處,生地獄中。長者無有惡戒,唯有善戒,長者因善戒故,或滅苦痛,生極快樂,因善戒故,或得斯陀含果,或阿那含果,長者本已得須陀洹。
「長者莫怖!長者莫怖!所以者何?若愚癡凡夫因不多聞,身壞命終,趣至惡處,生地獄中。長者無不多聞,唯有多聞,長者因多聞故,或滅苦痛,生極快樂,因多聞故,或得斯陀含果,或阿那含果,長者本已得須陀洹。
「長者莫怖!長者莫怖!所以者何?若愚癡凡夫因慳貪故,身壞命終,趣至惡處,生地獄中。長者無有慳貪,唯有惠施,長者因惠施故,或滅苦痛,生極快樂,因惠施故,或得斯陀含果,或阿那含果,長者本已得須陀洹
尊者舍利子隨即坐到他的床上,坐定后,問道:『長者,您現在的病情如何?飲食如何?痛苦是減輕了,還是沒有減輕,甚至加重了呢?』 長者回答說:『病情非常嚴重,吃不下東西,痛苦只是增加,沒有感覺減輕。』 尊者舍利子告訴他說:『長者不要害怕!長者不要害怕!為什麼呢?如果愚癡的凡夫因為不信,身死命終后,會墮入惡道,生在地獄中。長者您今天沒有不信,只有堅定的信仰,長者因為這堅定的信仰,或許能消除痛苦,獲得極大的快樂,因為這堅定的信仰,或許能證得斯陀含果,或者阿那含果,長者您本來就已經證得了須陀洹果。 『長者不要害怕!長者不要害怕!為什麼呢?如果愚癡的凡夫因為惡戒,身死命終后,會墮入惡道,生在地獄中。長者您沒有惡戒,只有善戒,長者因為這善戒,或許能消除痛苦,獲得極大的快樂,因為這善戒,或許能證得斯陀含果,或者阿那含果,長者您本來就已經證得了須陀洹果。 『長者不要害怕!長者不要害怕!為什麼呢?如果愚癡的凡夫因為不多聞,身死命終后,會墮入惡道,生在地獄中。長者您不是不多聞,而是多聞,長者因為這多聞,或許能消除痛苦,獲得極大的快樂,因為這多聞,或許能證得斯陀含果,或者阿那含果,長者您本來就已經證得了須陀洹果。 『長者不要害怕!長者不要害怕!為什麼呢?如果愚癡的凡夫因為慳貪,身死命終后,會墮入惡道,生在地獄中。長者您沒有慳貪,只有樂於佈施,長者因為這樂於佈施,或許能消除痛苦,獲得極大的快樂,因為這樂於佈施,或許能證得斯陀含果,或者阿那含果,長者您本來就已經證得了須陀洹果。
The venerable Shariputra then sat on his bed. Having sat down, he asked: 'Elder, how is your illness now? How is your appetite? Has the pain lessened, or has it not lessened, or even increased?' The elder replied: 'The illness is very severe, I cannot eat, and the pain only increases, I do not feel it lessen.' The venerable Shariputra told him: 'Elder, do not be afraid! Elder, do not be afraid! Why is that? If a foolish ordinary person, due to lack of faith, after the body breaks and life ends, will go to an evil place, and be born in hell. Elder, today you do not lack faith, you only have strong faith. Elder, because of this strong faith, perhaps you can eliminate pain and obtain great happiness. Because of this strong faith, perhaps you can attain the Sakadagami fruit, or the Anagami fruit. Elder, you have already attained the Srotapanna fruit. 'Elder, do not be afraid! Elder, do not be afraid! Why is that? If a foolish ordinary person, due to bad precepts, after the body breaks and life ends, will go to an evil place, and be born in hell.

Elder, do not be afraid! Why is that? If a foolish ordinary person, due to not having much learning, after the body breaks and life ends, will go to an evil place, and be born in hell. Elder, you do not lack learning, but have much learning. Elder, because of this much learning, perhaps you can eliminate pain and obtain great happiness. Because of this much learning, perhaps you can attain the Sakadagami fruit, or the Anagami fruit. Elder, you have already attained the Srotapanna fruit. 'Elder, do not be afraid! Elder, do not be afraid! Why is that? If a foolish ordinary person, due to stinginess, after the body breaks and life ends, will go to an evil place, and be born in hell. Elder, you do not have stinginess, but are generous in giving. Elder, because of this generosity, perhaps you can eliminate pain and obtain great happiness. Because of this generosity, perhaps you can attain the Sakadagami fruit, or the Anagami fruit. Elder, you have already attained the Srotapanna fruit.'

。長者無有邪脫,唯有正脫,長者因正脫故,或滅苦痛,生極快樂,因正脫故,或得斯陀含果,或阿那含果,長者本已得須陀洹。
「長者莫怖!長者莫怖!所以者何?若愚癡凡夫因邪智故,身壞命終,趣至惡處,生地獄中。長者無有邪智,唯有正智,長者因正智故,或滅苦痛,生極快樂,因正智故,或得斯陀含果,或阿那含果,長者本已得須陀洹。」
於是,長者病即得差,平復如故,從臥起坐,嘆尊者舍梨子曰:「善哉!善哉!為病說法。甚奇!甚特!尊者舍梨子!我聞教化病法,苦痛即滅,生極快樂。尊者舍梨子!我今病差,平復如故。尊者舍梨子!我往昔時,少有所為,至王舍城寄宿一長者家。時,彼長者明當飯佛及比丘眾。時,彼長者過夜向曉,教敕兒孫、奴使、眷屬:『汝等早起,當共嚴辦。』彼各受教,共設廚宰,供辦餚饌、種種腆美,長者躬自敷置高座,無量嚴飾
現代漢語譯本:'長者不會有邪惡的解脫,只有正當的解脫。長者因為正當的解脫,或許會滅除痛苦,產生極大的快樂;因為正當的解脫,或許會證得斯陀含果,或者阿那含果。長者原本就已經證得了須陀洹果。' '長者不要害怕!長者不要害怕!這是為什麼呢?如果愚癡的凡夫因為邪惡的智慧,導致身壞命終,就會去到惡劣的地方,生在地獄中。長者沒有邪惡的智慧,只有正當的智慧。長者因為正當的智慧,或許會滅除痛苦,產生極大的快樂;因為正當的智慧,或許會證得斯陀含果,或者阿那含果。長者原本就已經證得了須陀洹果。' '於是,長者的病立刻就好了,恢復如初,從床上起身坐了起來,讚歎尊者舍利弗說:『太好了!太好了!為病人說法。真是奇妙!真是特別!尊者舍利弗!我聽聞教化病人的佛法,痛苦立刻就消除了,產生了極大的快樂。尊者舍利弗!我現在病好了,恢復如初。尊者舍利弗!我過去的時候,曾經有一次,到王舍城寄宿在一個長者家中。當時,那位長者明天要供養佛陀和比丘僧眾。當時,那位長者在天亮前,教導他的兒孫、奴僕、眷屬:『你們早點起來,一起準備。』他們各自接受教導,一起準備廚房,準備各種美味的食物,長者親自鋪設高座,用無數的裝飾品進行裝飾。'
English version: 'The elder does not have wrong liberation, only right liberation. Because of right liberation, the elder may extinguish suffering and generate great joy; because of right liberation, he may attain the fruit of Sakadagami or Anagami. The elder has already attained the fruit of Srotapanna.' 'Elder, do not be afraid! Elder, do not be afraid! Why is that? If a foolish ordinary person, due to wrong wisdom, breaks his body and dies, he will go to a bad place and be born in hell. The elder does not have wrong wisdom, only right wisdom. Because of right wisdom, the elder may extinguish suffering and generate great joy; because of right wisdom, he may attain the fruit of Sakadagami or Anagami. The elder has already attained the fruit of Srotapanna.' 'Then, the elder's illness was immediately cured, and he recovered as before. He got up from the bed and sat down, praising the Venerable Sariputra, saying: 'Excellent! Excellent! To preach the Dharma for the sick. How wonderful! How special! Venerable Sariputra! When I heard the Dharma that teaches the sick, the pain immediately disappeared, and great joy arose. Venerable Sariputra! I am now cured and have recovered as before. Venerable Sariputra! In the past, I once went to Rajagriha and stayed overnight at the house of an elder. At that time, that elder was going to offer food to the Buddha and the Sangha of monks the next day. At that time, that elder, before dawn, instructed his children, grandchildren, servants, and family members: 'You all get up early and prepare together.' They each accepted the instructions and prepared the kitchen together, preparing various delicious foods. The elder personally laid out the high seat, decorating it with countless ornaments.'
「尊者舍梨子!我既見已,便作是念:『今此長者為婚姻事,為迎婦節會,為請國王,為呼大臣,為作齋會施設大施耶?』尊者舍梨子!我既念已,便問長者:『汝為婚姻事,為迎婦節會,為請國王,為呼大臣,為作齋會施設大施耶?』時,彼長者而答我曰:『吾無婚姻事,亦不迎婦,不為節會,不請國王及呼大臣,但為齋會施設大施,明當飯佛及比丘眾。』
「尊者舍梨子!我未曾聞佛名,聞已舉身毛豎,即復問曰:『長者說佛,何名為佛?』時,彼長者而答我曰:『君不聞乎?有釋種子舍釋宗族,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道,得無上等正覺,是名為佛。』我復問曰:『長者說眾,何名為眾?』時,彼長者復答我曰:『有若干姓異名異族,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家,從佛學道,是名為眾,此佛及眾,吾之所請。』尊者舍梨子!我即復問彼長者曰:『世尊於今為在何處?我欲往見。』時,彼長者復答我曰:『世尊今在此王舍城竹林加蘭哆園,欲往隨意。』
「尊者舍梨子!我作是念:『若速曉者,疾往見佛。』尊者舍梨子!我時至心欲往見佛,即于其夜生晝明想,便從長者家出,往至城息門
『尊者舍利子!我看到之後,就想:『現在這位長者是爲了婚嫁之事,還是爲了迎接新婦的慶典,還是爲了邀請國王,還是爲了召集大臣,還是爲了舉辦齋會佈施大宴呢?』尊者舍利子!我這樣想了之後,就問長者:『您是爲了婚嫁之事,還是爲了迎接新婦的慶典,還是爲了邀請國王,還是爲了召集大臣,還是爲了舉辦齋會佈施大宴呢?』當時,那位長者回答我說:『我沒有婚嫁之事,也不是迎接新婦,不是爲了慶典,沒有邀請國王和召集大臣,只是爲了舉辦齋會佈施大宴,明天將要供養佛陀和比丘僧眾。』 『尊者舍利子!我從未聽聞過佛的名號,聽聞之後全身汗毛豎立,立即又問:『長者說的佛,什麼是佛呢?』當時,那位長者回答我說:『您沒聽說過嗎?有釋迦族的後裔,捨棄釋迦宗族,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,過著無家生活,學習佛道,證得無上正等正覺,這就叫做佛。』我又問:『長者說的僧眾,什麼是僧眾呢?』當時,那位長者又回答我說:『有許多不同姓氏、不同名字、不同種族的人,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,過著無家生活,跟隨佛陀學習佛道,這就叫做僧眾,這位佛陀和僧眾,是我所邀請的。』尊者舍利子!我立即又問那位長者:『世尊現在在哪裡?我想去拜見。』當時,那位長者又回答我說:『世尊現在在王舍城的竹林迦蘭陀園,想去就去吧。』 『尊者舍利子!我這樣想:『如果天快亮了,就趕快去拜見佛陀。』尊者舍利子!我當時一心想去拜見佛陀,就在那天晚上生起了如同白晝一樣的光明之想,便從長者家出來,前往城門休息的地方。
『Venerable Sariputta! Having seen this, I thought: 『Is this elder preparing for a marriage, a celebration to welcome a bride, inviting a king, summoning ministers, or holding a feast with great offerings?』 Venerable Sariputta! Having thought this, I asked the elder: 『Are you preparing for a marriage, a celebration to welcome a bride, inviting a king, summoning ministers, or holding a feast with great offerings?』 Then, that elder replied to me: 『I have no marriage to arrange, nor am I welcoming a bride, it is not for a celebration, I have not invited a king or summoned ministers, but I am holding a feast with great offerings, tomorrow I will offer food to the Buddha and the community of monks.』 『Venerable Sariputta! I had never heard the name of the Buddha before, and upon hearing it, the hairs on my body stood on end. I immediately asked: 『What is this Buddha that the elder speaks of?』 Then, that elder replied to me: 『Have you not heard? There is one of the Sakya lineage who abandoned his clan, shaved his head and beard, donned the robes, with sincere faith, left his home, lived without a home, studied the path, and attained unsurpassed perfect enlightenment, this is called the Buddha.』 I further asked: 『What is this community that the elder speaks of?』 Then, that elder replied to me: 『There are many people of different surnames, different names, and different lineages, who have shaved their heads and beards, donned the robes, with sincere faith, left their homes, lived without a home, and followed the Buddha to study the path, this is called the community, and this Buddha and community are whom I have invited.』 Venerable Sariputta! I immediately asked that elder: 『Where is the World Honored One now? I wish to go and see him.』 Then, that elder replied to me: 『The World Honored One is now in the Bamboo Grove Kalandaka Garden in Rajagaha, you may go if you wish.』 『Venerable Sariputta! I thought: 『If it dawns soon, I will quickly go to see the Buddha.』 Venerable Sariputta! At that time, I wholeheartedly wished to go and see the Buddha, and that very night, I had the perception of daylight, and then I left the elder's house and went to the city gate rest area.』
。是時,城息門中有二直士,一直初夜,外客使入,不令有礙,一直后夜,若客使出,亦不作礙。尊者舍梨子!我復作是念:『夜尚未曉。』所以者何?城息門中有二直士,一直初夜,外客使入,不令有礙,一直后夜,若客使出,亦不作礙。尊者舍梨子!出城息門,出外不久,明滅還暗。尊者舍梨子!我便恐怖,舉身毛豎,莫令人、非人來觸嬈我。
「時,城息門而有一天,從王舍城至竹林加蘭哆園,光明普照,來語我言:『長者莫怖!長者莫怖!所以者何?我本前世是汝朋友,名密器,年少極相愛念。長者!我本昔時往詣尊者大目乾連所,稽首禮足,卻坐一面,尊者大目乾連為我說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為我說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,賜三自歸,見授五戒。長者!我因三歸,受持五戒,身壞命終,生四天王天,住此城息門中。長者速去,長者速去,去實勝住。』彼天勸我而說頌曰:
「『得馬百臣女, 車百滿珍寶, 往詣佛一步, 不當十六分。 白象百最上, 金銀鞍勒被, 女百色端正, 瓔珞花嚴身, 轉輪王所敬, 玉女寶第一, 往詣佛一步, 不當十六分
現代漢語譯本:當時,城門有兩位正直的守衛,一位在前半夜值班,允許外來的客人進入,不加阻礙;另一位在後半夜值班,如果客人要出去,也不加阻礙。尊者舍利子!我又這樣想:『天還沒亮。』為什麼呢?因為城門有兩位正直的守衛,一位在前半夜值班,允許外來的客人進入,不加阻礙;另一位在後半夜值班,如果客人要出去,也不加阻礙。尊者舍利子!我走出城門,在外邊沒走多遠,光明就消失了,又變得黑暗。尊者舍利子!我當時感到恐懼,全身汗毛豎立,害怕有人或非人來侵擾我。 這時,城門那裡有一天神,從王舍城來到竹林迦蘭陀園,光明普照,來對我說:『長者不要害怕!長者不要害怕!為什麼呢?我前世是你的朋友,名叫密器,我們年輕時非常相愛。長者!我以前曾去拜訪尊者大目犍連,向他頂禮,然後坐在一旁,尊者大目犍連為我說法,勸導我生起渴求和仰慕之心,成就歡喜,用無量方便為我說法,勸導我生起渴求和仰慕之心,成就歡喜后,賜予我三皈依,並授予我五戒。長者!我因為三皈依,受持五戒,身壞命終后,生到四天王天,住在城門這裡。長者快走,長者快走,離開這裡比住在這裡更好。』那天神勸我,並說了偈頌: 『得到一百匹馬,一百位大臣的女兒,滿載珍寶的百輛車,去拜見佛陀走一步,也比不上這十六分之一的功德。 得到一百頭最上等的白象,配有金銀鞍轡,去拜見佛陀走一步,也比不上這十六分之一的功德。 得到一百位容貌端正的女子,佩戴瓔珞花環裝飾身體,去拜見佛陀走一步,也比不上這十六分之一的功德。 得到轉輪王所敬重的,最珍貴的玉女,去拜見佛陀走一步,也比不上這十六分之一的功德。』
English version: At that time, there were two upright guards at the city gate. One was on duty during the first part of the night, allowing foreign guests to enter without hindrance. The other was on duty during the latter part of the night, and if guests wanted to leave, they would not be hindered either. Venerable Sariputta! I then thought, 『It is not yet dawn.』 Why? Because there were two upright guards at the city gate. One was on duty during the first part of the night, allowing foreign guests to enter without hindrance. The other was on duty during the latter part of the night, and if guests wanted to leave, they would not be hindered either. Venerable Sariputta! I went out of the city gate, and not long after I was outside, the light disappeared and it became dark again. Venerable Sariputta! I was then terrified, my whole body trembled, and I was afraid that humans or non-humans would come to disturb me. At that time, a deva from the city gate, with light shining everywhere, came from Rajagaha to the Bamboo Grove Kalandaka Garden and said to me, 『Elder, do not be afraid! Elder, do not be afraid! Why? In my previous life, I was your friend, named Mikki, and we loved each other very much when we were young. Elder! I once went to visit Venerable Mahamoggallana, bowed my head at his feet, and sat to one side. Venerable Mahamoggallana taught me the Dharma, encouraged me to develop longing and admiration, and brought me joy. He taught me the Dharma with countless skillful means, encouraged me to develop longing and admiration, and after bringing me joy, he granted me the Three Refuges and gave me the Five Precepts. Elder! Because of the Three Refuges and upholding the Five Precepts, after my body broke and my life ended, I was reborn in the Heaven of the Four Great Kings and now reside at this city gate. Elder, go quickly, elder, go quickly, leaving is better than staying.』 That deva encouraged me and spoke these verses: 『To obtain a hundred horses, a hundred daughters of ministers, and a hundred carts filled with treasures, going one step to see the Buddha is not equal to one-sixteenth of the merit. To obtain a hundred of the finest white elephants, with gold and silver saddles and harnesses, going one step to see the Buddha is not equal to one-sixteenth of the merit. To obtain a hundred beautiful women, adorned with necklaces and flowers, going one step to see the Buddha is not equal to one-sixteenth of the merit. To obtain the most precious jade maiden, revered by a wheel-turning king, going one step to see the Buddha is not equal to one-sixteenth of the merit.』
「天說頌已,而復勸曰:『長者速去!長者速去!去實勝住。』尊者舍梨子!我復作是念:『佛尊祐德,法及比丘眾亦尊祐德。所以者何?乃至於天,亦欲使見。』
「尊者舍梨子!我因此光明往至竹林加蘭哆園。爾時,世尊夜其向旦,從禪室出,露地經行而待於我。尊者舍梨子!我遙見佛端正姝好,猶星中月,光耀暐曄,晃若金山,相好具足,威神巍巍,諸根寂定,無有蔽礙,成就調御,息心靜默。見已歡喜,前詣佛所,接足作禮,隨佛經行,以長者法說頌問訊:
「『世尊寐安隱, 至竟眠快耶? 如梵志滅度, 以不染于欲。 舍離一切愿, 逮得至安隱, 心除無煩熱, 自樂歡喜眠。』
「於是,世尊即便往至經行道頭,敷尼師檀,結加趺坐。尊者舍梨子!我禮佛足,卻坐一面,世尊為我說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為我說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已。如諸佛法,先說端正法,聞者歡悅,謂,說施、說戒、說生天法,毀呰欲為災患,生死為穢,稱歎無慾為妙道品白凈。世尊為我說如是法已,佛知我有歡喜心、具足心、柔軟心、堪耐心、升上心、一向心、無疑心、無蓋心,有能有力,堪受正法,謂如諸佛所說正要,世尊即為我說苦、習、滅、道
『天神說完讚頌,又勸說道:「長者快走!長者快走!離去實在勝過停留。」舍利子尊者!我再次這樣想:『佛陀尊貴有德,佛法以及比丘僧團也尊貴有德。為什麼呢?乃至天神,也想讓我去見佛。』 『舍利子尊者!我因此循著光明前往竹林迦蘭陀園。那時,世尊在黎明時分,從禪房出來,在露天經行等待我。舍利子尊者!我遠遠看見佛陀端正美好,如同星辰中的月亮,光芒閃耀,如同金山一般,相好具足,威嚴神聖,諸根寂靜,沒有遮蔽障礙,成就調御,內心平靜沉默。我見到後心生歡喜,走到佛陀面前,頂禮佛足,跟隨佛陀經行,用長者的禮儀說偈問候: 『世尊睡得安穩嗎, 究竟睡得快樂嗎? 如同梵志滅度, 不被慾望所染。 捨棄一切願望, 獲得至上的安穩, 心中沒有煩惱熱惱, 自己快樂歡喜地入睡。』 『於是,世尊就走到經行道的盡頭,鋪上尼師檀,結跏趺坐。舍利子尊者!我禮拜佛足,退坐在一旁,世尊為我說法,勸導我生起渴求,成就歡喜,用無量方便為我說法,勸導我生起渴求,成就歡喜。如同諸佛的教法,先說端正的法,聽者歡喜,即說佈施、持戒、生天之法,譴責慾望為災禍,生死為污穢,稱讚無慾為美妙的道品清凈。世尊為我說完這些法后,佛陀知道我有了歡喜心、具足心、柔軟心、堪耐心、向上心、專一的心、無疑的心、無蓋的心,有能力,堪受正法,即如諸佛所說的正要,世尊就為我說苦、集、滅、道。』
'Having finished the praise, the deity further urged: 『Elder, go quickly! Elder, go quickly! Going is truly better than staying.』 Venerable Sariputta! I then thought: 『The Buddha is venerable and virtuous, the Dharma and the Sangha are also venerable and virtuous. Why is that? Even the deities wish me to see him.』 'Venerable Sariputta! Because of this light, I went to the Bamboo Grove, Kalandaka』s Garden. At that time, the Blessed One, as dawn was approaching, came out of his meditation chamber and was walking in the open air, waiting for me. Venerable Sariputta! I saw the Buddha from afar, handsome and beautiful, like the moon among the stars, his radiance shining, like a golden mountain, with all the marks of a great man, majestic and awe-inspiring, his senses calmed, without any obstruction, accomplished in self-control, his mind peaceful and silent. Having seen him, I was delighted, approached the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and followed him as he walked, greeting him with a verse in the manner of an elder: 'Does the Blessed One sleep peacefully, Does he sleep well at last? Like a Brahmin who has attained Nirvana, He is not defiled by desire. Having abandoned all wishes, He has attained supreme peace, His heart free from vexation and heat, He sleeps happily and joyfully.』 'Then, the Blessed One went to the end of the walking path, spread out his sitting cloth, and sat cross-legged. Venerable Sariputta! I bowed at the Buddha』s feet and sat down to one side. The Blessed One taught me the Dharma, encouraging me to develop longing, and to achieve joy. He taught me the Dharma with countless skillful means, encouraging me to develop longing, and to achieve joy. As is the Dharma of all Buddhas, he first spoke of the righteous Dharma, which brings joy to the listener, namely, the teachings on giving, morality, and rebirth in heaven, condemning desire as a calamity, and rebirth as defilement, praising the absence of desire as the excellent path of purity. After the Blessed One had taught me this Dharma, the Buddha knew that I had a joyful mind, a complete mind, a soft mind, a patient mind, an uplifted mind, a focused mind, a mind free from doubt, a mind free from hindrances, and that I had the ability and capacity to receive the true Dharma. That is, the essential teaching of all Buddhas, the Blessed One then taught me about suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path.'
。尊者舍梨子!我即于坐中見四聖諦苦、習、滅、道,猶如白素易染為色,我亦如是,即于坐中見四聖諦苦、習、滅、道。
「尊者舍梨子!我已見法得法,覺白凈法,斷疑度惑,更無餘尊,不復從他,無有猶豫,已住果證,於世尊法得無所畏,即從坐起,為佛作禮:『世尊!我今自歸於佛、法及比丘眾,唯愿世尊受我為優婆塞,從今日始,終身自歸,乃至命盡。』尊者舍梨子!我即叉手白曰:『世尊!愿受我請,于舍衛國而受夏坐及比丘眾。』時,佛問我:『汝名何等?舍衛國人呼汝云何?』我即答曰:『我名須達哆,以我供給諸孤獨者,是故舍衛國人呼我為給孤獨。』爾時,世尊復問我曰:『舍衛國中有房舍未?』我復答曰:『舍衛國中無有房舍。』爾時,世尊而告我曰:『長者當知!若有房舍,比丘可得往來,可得住止。』我復白曰:『唯然。世尊!我當如是為起房舍,比丘可得往來,于舍衛國可得住止,唯愿世尊差一佐助。』爾時,世尊即差尊者舍梨子,遣尊者舍梨子令見佐助。
「我于爾時聞佛所說,善受善持,即從坐起,為佛作禮,繞三匝而去
現代漢語譯本:『尊者舍利子!我當時在禪坐中,看見了四聖諦——苦、集、滅、道,就像白色的絲綢容易被染上顏色一樣,我也是這樣,在禪坐中看見了四聖諦——苦、集、滅、道。』 『尊者舍利子!我已經親自體會了佛法,領悟了清凈的法理,斷除了疑惑,不再有其他可以依靠的尊者,也不再需要從他人那裡尋求真理,心中沒有猶豫,已經達到了果位,對於世尊的教法不再有任何畏懼。我隨即從座位上站起來,向佛陀頂禮,說道:『世尊!我現在皈依佛、法、僧三寶,懇請世尊接納我為優婆塞,從今天開始,終身皈依,直到生命結束。』尊者舍利子!我隨即合掌稟告說:『世尊!請接受我的邀請,在舍衛國接受夏季安居,並帶領比丘僧眾一同前往。』當時,佛陀問我:『你叫什麼名字?舍衛國的人都怎麼稱呼你?』我回答說:『我名叫須達多,因為我經常供養那些孤獨無助的人,所以舍衛國的人都稱呼我為給孤獨。』那時,世尊又問我:『舍衛國有沒有房舍?』我回答說:『舍衛國沒有房舍。』那時,世尊告訴我:『長者應當知道,如果有房舍,比丘們就可以來往,可以居住。』我回答說:『是的,世尊!我將建造房舍,讓比丘們可以來往,可以在舍衛國居住,懇請世尊派遣一位助手。』那時,世尊就派遣了尊者舍利子,讓尊者舍利子去協助我。 『當時,我聽聞佛陀所說的話,善加領受並牢記在心,隨即從座位上站起來,向佛陀頂禮,繞佛三圈后離開了。』
English version: 'Venerable Sariputta! While sitting in meditation, I saw the Four Noble Truths—suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path—just as white silk is easily dyed with color, so too did I, in meditation, see the Four Noble Truths—suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path.' 'Venerable Sariputta! I have personally experienced the Dharma, understood the pure teachings, severed my doubts, have no other venerable one to rely on, no longer need to seek truth from others, have no hesitation in my heart, have attained the fruit of enlightenment, and have no fear regarding the teachings of the World Honored One. I immediately rose from my seat, bowed to the Buddha, and said: 'World Honored One! I now take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. I beseech the World Honored One to accept me as a lay disciple, from this day forward, taking refuge for the rest of my life, until my death.' Venerable Sariputta! I then joined my palms and said: 'World Honored One! Please accept my invitation to observe the summer retreat in Savatthi, along with the assembly of monks.' At that time, the Buddha asked me: 'What is your name? How do the people of Savatthi call you?' I replied: 'My name is Sudatta, and because I often provide for the lonely and helpless, the people of Savatthi call me Anathapindika.' Then, the World Honored One asked me: 'Are there any dwellings in Savatthi?' I replied: 'There are no dwellings in Savatthi.' Then, the World Honored One told me: 'Elder, you should know that if there are dwellings, the monks can come and go, and can reside there.' I replied: 'Yes, World Honored One! I will build dwellings so that the monks can come and go, and can reside in Savatthi. I beseech the World Honored One to send an assistant.' At that time, the World Honored One sent Venerable Sariputta to assist me. 'At that time, I heard what the Buddha said, received it well, and kept it in mind. I immediately rose from my seat, bowed to the Buddha, circumambulated him three times, and then departed.'
。于王舍城所作已訖,與尊者舍梨子俱往至舍衛國,不入舍衛城亦不歸家,便於城外周遍行地,為於何處往來極好,晝不喧鬧,夜則寂靜,無有蚊虻,亦無蠅蚤,不寒不熱,可立房舍施佛及眾。尊者舍梨子!我時唯見童子勝園往來極好,晝不喧鬧,夜則寂靜,無有蚊虻,亦無蠅蚤,不寒不熱。我見此已,便作是念:『唯此處好,可立房舍施佛及眾。』
「尊者舍梨子!我于爾時入舍衛國,竟不還家,便先往詣童子勝所,白曰:『童子!可賣此園持與我耶?』爾時,童子便語我曰:『長者當知,吾不賣園。』如是,再三白曰:『童子!可賣此園持與我耶?』爾時,童子亦復再三而語我曰:『吾不賣園,至億億佈滿。』我即白曰:『童子今已決斷價數,但當取錢。』尊者舍梨子!我與童子或言斷價,或言不斷,大共訜訟,即便俱往至舍衛國大決斷處判論此事。時,舍衛國大決斷人語童子勝曰:『童子已自決斷價數,但當取錢。』
「尊者舍梨子!我即入舍衛國,還家取錢,以象馬車舉負輦載,出億億布地,少處未遍。尊者舍梨子!我作是念:『當取何藏,不大不小,可此余處持來佈滿?』時,童子勝便語我曰:『長者若悔,錢自相歸,園地還吾。』我語童子:『實不悔也
現代漢語譯本:在王舍城的事情完成後,我與尊者舍利子一同前往舍衛國,沒有進入舍衛城也沒有回家,而是在城外四處巡視,尋找一個適合往來的地方,那裡白天不喧鬧,夜晚則寂靜,沒有蚊子和牛虻,也沒有蒼蠅和跳蚤,不冷不熱,可以建造房舍供奉佛陀和僧眾。尊者舍利子!當時我只看到童子勝園這個地方非常適合,白天不喧鬧,夜晚則寂靜,沒有蚊子和牛虻,也沒有蒼蠅和跳蚤,不冷不熱。我看到這裡后,就想:『只有這個地方好,可以建造房舍供奉佛陀和僧眾。』 尊者舍利子!那時我進入舍衛國,沒有回家,就先去拜訪童子勝,對他說:『童子!你可以把這個園子賣給我嗎?』當時,童子對我說:『長者,你要知道,我不賣這個園子。』我這樣說了兩三次:『童子!你可以把這個園子賣給我嗎?』當時,童子也這樣說了兩三次:『我不賣這個園子,即使給再多的錢也不賣。』我就說:『童子現在已經決定了價格,只管拿錢就行了。』尊者舍利子!我和童子有時說定了價格,有時又說不定,為此爭論不休,就一起去舍衛國的大決斷處評判這件事。當時,舍衛國的大決斷人對童子勝說:『童子已經自己決定了價格,只管拿錢就行了。』 尊者舍利子!我就進入舍衛國,回家取錢,用大象、馬車裝載,運送了億億的佈滿地面,還有少部分地方沒有鋪滿。尊者舍利子!我當時想:『應該從哪裡取來不大不小的東西,把剩下的地方鋪滿呢?』這時,童子勝對我說:『長者如果後悔了,錢可以還給你,園子還給我。』我對童子說:『我確實不後悔。』
English version: Having completed the work in Rajagriha, I went with the Venerable Shariputra to Shravasti. I did not enter the city of Shravasti, nor did I return home. Instead, I walked around the outskirts of the city, looking for a place that was suitable for coming and going, where it would not be noisy during the day and would be quiet at night, with no mosquitoes or gadflies, no flies or fleas, neither cold nor hot, where a dwelling could be built to offer to the Buddha and the Sangha. Venerable Shariputra! At that time, I only saw that the Jeta Grove of Prince Jeta was very suitable, not noisy during the day and quiet at night, with no mosquitoes or gadflies, no flies or fleas, neither cold nor hot. Having seen this, I thought: 『Only this place is good, a dwelling can be built to offer to the Buddha and the Sangha.』 Venerable Shariputra! At that time, I entered Shravasti, without returning home, and first went to visit Prince Jeta, saying to him: 『Prince! Could you sell this grove to me?』 At that time, the prince said to me: 『Elder, you should know that I will not sell this grove.』 I said this two or three times: 『Prince! Could you sell this grove to me?』 At that time, the prince also said this two or three times: 『I will not sell this grove, even if it were filled with billions.』 I then said: 『Prince, you have already decided on the price, just take the money.』 Venerable Shariputra! The prince and I sometimes agreed on a price, and sometimes we did not, and we argued about it endlessly, so we went together to the great decision-making place in Shravasti to judge this matter. At that time, the great decision-maker of Shravasti said to Prince Jeta: 『Prince, you have already decided on the price yourself, just take the money.』 Venerable Shariputra! I then entered Shravasti, returned home to get the money, and loaded it onto elephants and horse-drawn carts, transporting billions of gold coins to cover the ground, but there were still some places not covered. Venerable Shariputra! I then thought: 『Where should I get something that is neither too big nor too small to bring and fill the remaining places?』 At that time, Prince Jeta said to me: 『Elder, if you regret it, the money can be returned to you, and the grove can be returned to me.』 I said to the prince: 『I truly do not regret it.』
。』但自思念:『當取何藏,不大不小,可此余處持來滿耳?』時,童子勝便作是念:『佛必大尊,有大德祐,法及比丘眾亦必大尊,有大德祐。所以者何?乃令長者施設大施,輕財乃爾。吾今寧可即於此處造立門屋施佛及眾。』時,童子勝便語我曰:『長者且止!莫復出錢布此處也,吾於此處造立門屋施佛及眾。』尊者舍梨子!我為慈愍故,即以此處與童子勝。
「尊者舍梨子!我即於此夏起十六大屋、六十拘絺。尊者舍梨子時見佐助,然尊者舍梨子說教化病法,甚奇!甚特!我聞此教化病法已,極重疾苦即得除愈,生極快樂。尊者舍梨子!我今無病,極得安隱,愿尊者舍梨子於此飯食。」時,尊者舍梨子默然受請。
於是長者知尊者舍梨子默然受已,即從坐起,自行澡水,以極美凈妙種種豐饒食啖含消,手自斟酌,令得充滿,食訖,舉器行澡水竟,敷一小床,別坐聽法。長者坐已,尊者舍梨子為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,從坐起去。
是時,世尊無量大眾前後圍繞而為說法,世尊遙見尊者舍梨子來,告諸比丘:「舍梨子比丘聰慧、速慧、捷慧、利慧、廣慧、深慧、出要慧、明達慧、辯才慧,舍梨子比丘成就實慧
現代漢語譯本:'但自己思忖:『該拿什麼東西來填滿這個地方呢?既不能太大,也不能太小,才能把剩餘的地方填滿?』當時,童子勝就想:『佛陀必定非常尊貴,有大德庇佑,佛法和比丘僧團也必定非常尊貴,有大德庇佑。為什麼這麼說呢?因為他們能讓長者如此慷慨地佈施,輕視錢財。我不如就在這裡建造房屋,供養佛陀和僧團。』當時,童子勝就對我說:『長者請停下!不要再出錢布施這裡了,我將在這裡建造房屋,供養佛陀和僧團。』尊者舍利子!我因為慈悲憐憫的緣故,就把這塊地方給了童子勝。 『尊者舍利子!我在這裡夏天建造了十六座大房屋、六十間小屋。尊者舍利子當時也看到了我的助手,而且尊者舍利子所說的教化病法,真是奇特!非常特別!我聽了這教化病法后,極重的疾病痛苦立刻就消除了,感到非常快樂。尊者舍利子!我現在沒有疾病,非常安穩,希望尊者舍利子在這裡用餐。』當時,尊者舍利子默然接受了邀請。 於是長者知道尊者舍利子默然接受了邀請,就從座位上站起來,自己去洗手,用極其美味、乾淨、精妙、各種豐盛的食物,讓尊者舍利子吃得飽飽的,親自斟酌,讓尊者舍利子吃得心滿意足。吃完飯後,收起餐具,洗完手,鋪上一張小床,獨自坐著聽法。長者坐好后,尊者舍利子為他說法,勸導他生起渴求,成就歡喜,用無量方便為他說法,勸導他生起渴求,成就歡喜后,就從座位上起身離開了。 這時,世尊被無量大眾前後圍繞著說法,世尊遠遠地看到尊者舍利子來了,就告訴眾比丘:『舍利子比丘聰明、敏捷、快速、銳利、廣博、深刻、出離、明達、辯才,舍利子比丘成就了真實的智慧。』
English version: 'But then I thought to myself: 『What should I use to fill this space? It can』t be too big or too small, so that it can fill the remaining area?』 At that time, the boy, Sheng, had this thought: 『The Buddha must be very venerable, with great virtue and protection, and the Dharma and the Sangha of monks must also be very venerable, with great virtue and protection. Why do I say this? Because they can cause the elder to give so generously, disregarding wealth. I might as well build houses here to offer to the Buddha and the Sangha.』 At that time, the boy, Sheng, said to me: 『Elder, please stop! Don』t spend any more money on this place, I will build houses here to offer to the Buddha and the Sangha.』 Venerable Shariputra! Because of my compassion, I gave this place to the boy, Sheng. 'Venerable Shariputra! Here, in the summer, I built sixteen large houses and sixty small huts. Venerable Shariputra also saw my assistants at that time, and the method of teaching and healing that Venerable Shariputra spoke of was truly amazing! Very special! After I heard this method of teaching and healing, my severe illness and suffering were immediately eliminated, and I felt very happy. Venerable Shariputra! I am now free from illness and very peaceful, I hope Venerable Shariputra will have a meal here.』 At that time, Venerable Shariputra silently accepted the invitation. Then the elder knew that Venerable Shariputra had silently accepted the invitation, so he got up from his seat, washed his hands himself, and with extremely delicious, clean, exquisite, and various abundant foods, he let Venerable Shariputra eat his fill, personally pouring and serving, so that Venerable Shariputra was satisfied. After the meal, he cleared the dishes, washed his hands, laid out a small bed, and sat alone to listen to the Dharma. After the elder sat down, Venerable Shariputra preached the Dharma to him, encouraging him to generate longing, and achieve joy. He used countless skillful means to preach the Dharma to him, encouraging him to generate longing, and after achieving joy, he got up from his seat and left. At this time, the World Honored One was surrounded by a countless multitude, preaching the Dharma. The World Honored One saw Venerable Shariputra coming from afar, and told the monks: 『The monk Shariputra is intelligent, quick-witted, swift, sharp, broad, profound, liberated, clear, and eloquent. The monk Shariputra has achieved true wisdom.』
。所以者何?我所略說四種須陀洹,舍梨子比丘為長者給孤獨十種廣說來。」

(二九)舍梨子相應品大拘絺羅經第九(初一日誦)
一時,佛游王舍城,在竹林加蘭哆園。
爾時,尊者舍梨子則于晡時從燕坐起,至尊者大拘絺羅所,共相問訊,卻坐一面。
尊者舍梨子語尊者大拘絺羅:「我欲有所問,聽我問耶?」
尊者大拘絺羅答曰:「尊者舍梨子!欲問便問,我聞已當思。」
尊者舍梨子問曰:「賢者大拘絺羅!頗有事因此事,比丘成就見,得正見,於法得不壞凈,入正法耶?」
答曰:「有也。尊者舍梨子!謂有比丘知不善、知不善根。云何知不善?謂身惡行不善,口、意惡行不善,是謂知不善。云何知不善根?謂貪不善根,恚、癡不善根,是謂知不善根。尊者舍梨子!若有比丘如是知不善及不善根者,是謂比丘成就見,得正見,於法得不壞凈,入正法中
現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?我所簡略說的四種須陀洹,舍利子比丘為長者給孤獨詳細說了十種情況。 佛陀是這樣說的。那些比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 《教化病經》第八完(三千八百九十八字) 《中阿含經》卷第六(八千九百六十九字)(初一日誦) 《中阿含經》卷第七 (二九)《舍利子相應品大拘絺羅經》第九(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在王舍城,住在竹林加蘭哆園。 當時,尊者舍利子在傍晚時分從禪定中起身,來到尊者大拘絺羅那裡,互相問候,然後坐在一旁。 尊者舍利子對尊者大拘絺羅說:『我有些問題想問,可以問嗎?』 尊者大拘絺羅回答說:『尊者舍利子!想問就問吧,我聽了會思考的。』 尊者舍利子問道:『賢者大拘絺羅!是否有這樣的事,因為這件事,比丘成就了見解,獲得正見,對佛法獲得不壞的清凈信心,進入正法之中呢?』 回答說:『有的。尊者舍利子!就是有比丘知道什麼是不善,知道不善的根源。怎樣知道什麼是不善呢?就是身體的惡行是不善的,口、意的惡行是不善的,這叫做知道什麼是不善。怎樣知道不善的根源呢?就是貪是不善的根源,嗔、癡是不善的根源,這叫做知道不善的根源。尊者舍利子!如果有比丘這樣知道什麼是不善以及不善的根源,這就叫做比丘成就了見解,獲得正見,對佛法獲得不壞的清凈信心,進入正法之中。』
English version: What is the reason for this? The four types of Srotapannas that I have briefly mentioned, the Venerable Sariputra has explained in detail ten aspects to the elder Anathapindika. Thus spoke the Buddha. Those monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The eighth discourse, 'Teaching on Sickness,' is complete (3,898 words). The sixth fascicle of the Madhyama Agama Sutra (8,969 words) (recited on the first day). The seventh fascicle of the Madhyama Agama Sutra. Translated by the Tripitaka master Gautama Sanghadeva of Kipin during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. (29) The ninth discourse, 'The Great Kothila Sutra' from the Sariputra Samyukta (recited on the first day). At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Rajagriha, in the Bamboo Grove, at Kalandaka's Garden. Then, the Venerable Sariputra, in the late afternoon, arose from his meditation and went to the Venerable Great Kothila, exchanged greetings with him, and sat down to one side. The Venerable Sariputra said to the Venerable Great Kothila, 'I have some questions to ask. May I ask them?' The Venerable Great Kothila replied, 'Venerable Sariputra! Ask whatever you wish. I will consider it after hearing it.' The Venerable Sariputra asked, 'Venerable Great Kothila! Is there a matter because of which a monk, having achieved insight, obtains right view, gains unwavering faith in the Dharma, and enters the true Dharma?' He replied, 'There is. Venerable Sariputra! It is when a monk knows what is unwholesome and knows the root of the unwholesome. How does one know what is unwholesome? It is that bodily misconduct is unwholesome, and verbal and mental misconduct are unwholesome. This is called knowing what is unwholesome. How does one know the root of the unwholesome? It is that greed is the root of the unwholesome, and hatred and delusion are the roots of the unwholesome. This is called knowing the root of the unwholesome. Venerable Sariputra! If a monk knows what is unwholesome and the root of the unwholesome in this way, it is said that the monk has achieved insight, obtained right view, gained unwavering faith in the Dharma, and entered the true Dharma.'
尊者舍梨子聞已,嘆曰:「善哉!善哉!賢者大拘絺羅!」尊者舍梨子嘆已,歡喜奉行。
尊者舍梨子復問曰:「賢者大拘絺羅!頗更有事因此事,比丘成就見,得正見,於法得不壞凈,入正法耶?」
答曰:「有也。尊者舍梨子!謂有比丘知善、知善根。云何知善?謂身妙行善,口、意妙行善,是謂知善。云何知善根?謂無貪善根,無恚、無癡善根,是謂知善根。尊者舍梨子!若有比丘如是知善,知善根者,是謂比丘成就見,得正見,於法得不壞凈,入正法中。」
答曰:「有也。尊者舍梨子!謂有比丘知食如真,知食習、知食滅、知食滅道如真。云何知食如真?謂有四食,一者摶食粗、細,二者更樂食,三者意思食,四者識食,是謂知食如真。云何知食習如真?謂因愛便有食,是謂知食習如真。云何知食滅如真?謂愛滅食便滅,是謂知食滅如真。云何知食滅道如真?謂八支聖道,正見乃至正定為八,是謂知食滅道如真
舍利弗尊者聽了這些話,讚歎道:『太好了!太好了!大拘絺羅賢者!』舍利弗尊者讚歎之後,歡喜地接受並實行。 舍利弗尊者又問道:『大拘絺羅賢者!是否還有其他事情,能讓比丘成就正見,獲得正見,對佛法產生不壞的清凈信心,進入正法呢?』 回答說:『有的。舍利弗尊者!那就是有比丘知道什麼是善,知道什麼是善的根源。如何知道什麼是善呢?就是指身行善,口行善,意行善,這就是知道什麼是善。如何知道什麼是善的根源呢?就是指無貪的善根,無嗔的善根,無癡的善根,這就是知道什麼是善的根源。舍利弗尊者!如果有比丘這樣知道什麼是善,知道什麼是善的根源,那麼這個比丘就成就了正見,獲得了正見,對佛法產生不壞的清凈信心,進入正法之中。』 回答說:『有的。舍利弗尊者!那就是有比丘如實地知道什麼是食物,知道食物的集起,知道食物的滅盡,知道通往食物滅盡的道路。如何如實地知道什麼是食物呢?就是指有四種食物,第一種是粗細的摶食,第二種是觸食,第三種是意思食,第四種是識食,這就是如實地知道什麼是食物。如何如實地知道食物的集起呢?就是指因為愛慾而有食物,這就是如實地知道食物的集起。如何如實地知道食物的滅盡呢?就是指愛慾滅盡,食物也就滅盡,這就是如實地知道食物的滅盡。如何如實地知道通往食物滅盡的道路呢?就是指八支聖道,即正見乃至正定這八項,這就是如實地知道通往食物滅盡的道路。』
Venerable Sariputra, having heard this, exclaimed: 'Excellent! Excellent! Venerable Mahakautthila!' Venerable Sariputra, having exclaimed, joyfully accepted and practiced it. Venerable Sariputra then asked: 'Venerable Mahakautthila! Is there anything else by which a bhikkhu, having achieved right view, attains right view, gains unwavering faith in the Dharma, and enters the true Dharma?' He replied: 'Yes, Venerable Sariputra! It is when a bhikkhu knows what is good and knows the root of good. How does one know what is good? It is when one's bodily conduct is good, one's verbal conduct is good, and one's mental conduct is good; this is knowing what is good. How does one know the root of good? It is when there is a root of good without greed, a root of good without hatred, and a root of good without delusion; this is knowing the root of good. Venerable Sariputra! If a bhikkhu knows what is good and knows the root of good in this way, then that bhikkhu has achieved right view, attained right view, gained unwavering faith in the Dharma, and entered the true Dharma.' He replied: 'Yes, Venerable Sariputra! It is when a bhikkhu truly knows what food is, knows the arising of food, knows the cessation of food, and knows the path leading to the cessation of food. How does one truly know what food is? It is when there are four kinds of food: first, coarse and fine edible food; second, contact as food; third, mental volition as food; and fourth, consciousness as food; this is truly knowing what food is. How does one truly know the arising of food? It is when food arises due to craving; this is truly knowing the arising of food. How does one truly know the cessation of food? It is when food ceases with the cessation of craving; this is truly knowing the cessation of food. How does one truly know the path leading to the cessation of food? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely, right view to right concentration; this is truly knowing the path leading to the cessation of food.'
。尊者舍梨子!若有比丘如是知食如真,知食習、知食滅、知食滅道如真者,是謂比丘成就見,得正見,於法得不壞凈,入正法中。」
答曰:「有也。尊者舍梨子!謂有比丘知漏如真,知漏習、知漏滅、知漏滅道如真。云何知漏如真?謂有三漏:欲漏、有漏、無明漏,是謂知漏如真。云何知漏習如真?謂因無明便有漏,是謂知漏習如真。云何知漏滅如真?謂無明滅漏便滅,是謂知漏滅如真。云何知漏滅道如真?謂八支聖道,正見乃至正定為八,是謂知漏滅道如真。尊者舍梨子!若有比丘如是知漏如真,知漏習、知漏滅、知漏滅道如真者,是謂比丘成就見,得正見,於法得不壞凈,入正法中。」
答曰:「有也。尊者舍梨子!謂有比丘知苦如真,知苦習、知苦滅、知苦滅道如真
『尊者舍利子!如果有一位比丘能夠如實地瞭解食物,如實地瞭解食物的生起、食物的滅盡、以及導致食物滅盡的道路,那麼這位比丘就可說是成就了正見,獲得了正確的見解,對於佛法獲得了不可動搖的清凈信心,並且進入了正法之中。』 尊者舍利子聽了之後,讚歎道:『太好了!太好了!賢者大拘絺羅!』尊者舍利子讚歎完畢,歡喜地接受並奉行。 尊者舍利子又問道:『賢者大拘絺羅!是否還有其他事情,能夠讓比丘因此而成就正見,獲得正確的見解,對於佛法獲得不可動搖的清凈信心,並且進入正法呢?』 回答說:『有的。尊者舍利子!那就是如果有一位比丘能夠如實地瞭解煩惱,如實地瞭解煩惱的生起、煩惱的滅盡、以及導致煩惱滅盡的道路。如何如實地瞭解煩惱呢?那就是有三種煩惱:欲漏、有漏、無明漏,這就是如實地瞭解煩惱。如何如實地瞭解煩惱的生起呢?那就是因為無明而有煩惱,這就是如實地瞭解煩惱的生起。如何如實地瞭解煩惱的滅盡呢?那就是無明滅盡,煩惱也就滅盡,這就是如實地瞭解煩惱的滅盡。如何如實地瞭解導致煩惱滅盡的道路呢?那就是八正道,即正見乃至正定這八項,這就是如實地瞭解導致煩惱滅盡的道路。尊者舍利子!如果有一位比丘能夠如實地瞭解煩惱,如實地瞭解煩惱的生起、煩惱的滅盡、以及導致煩惱滅盡的道路,那麼這位比丘就可說是成就了正見,獲得了正確的見解,對於佛法獲得了不可動搖的清凈信心,並且進入了正法之中。』 回答說:『有的。尊者舍利子!那就是如果有一位比丘能夠如實地瞭解痛苦,如實地瞭解痛苦的生起、痛苦的滅盡、以及導致痛苦滅盡的道路。
'Venerable Sariputta! If a bhikkhu knows food as it truly is, knows the arising of food, knows the cessation of food, and knows the path leading to the cessation of food as they truly are, then that bhikkhu is said to have attained right view, obtained correct understanding, gained unshakable faith in the Dhamma, and entered into the true Dharma.' Venerable Sariputta, having heard this, exclaimed: 'Excellent! Excellent! Venerable Mahakotthita!' Having exclaimed this, Venerable Sariputta joyfully accepted and practiced it. Venerable Sariputta then asked: 'Venerable Mahakotthita! Is there anything else by which a bhikkhu can attain right view, obtain correct understanding, gain unshakable faith in the Dhamma, and enter into the true Dharma?' He replied: 'Yes, Venerable Sariputta! It is when a bhikkhu knows the taints as they truly are, knows the arising of taints, knows the cessation of taints, and knows the path leading to the cessation of taints as they truly are. How does one know the taints as they truly are? It is that there are three taints: the taint of sensual desire, the taint of becoming, and the taint of ignorance. This is knowing the taints as they truly are. How does one know the arising of taints as it truly is? It is that because of ignorance, there are taints. This is knowing the arising of taints as it truly is. How does one know the cessation of taints as it truly is? It is that with the cessation of ignorance, the taints cease. This is knowing the cessation of taints as it truly is. How does one know the path leading to the cessation of taints as it truly is? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely, right view to right concentration, these eight. This is knowing the path leading to the cessation of taints as it truly is. Venerable Sariputta! If a bhikkhu knows the taints as they truly are, knows the arising of taints, knows the cessation of taints, and knows the path leading to the cessation of taints as they truly are, then that bhikkhu is said to have attained right view, obtained correct understanding, gained unshakable faith in the Dhamma, and entered into the true Dharma.' He replied: 'Yes, Venerable Sariputta! It is when a bhikkhu knows suffering as it truly is, knows the arising of suffering, knows the cessation of suffering, and knows the path leading to the cessation of suffering as they truly are.'
。云何知苦如真?謂生苦、老苦、病苦、死苦、怨憎會苦、愛別離苦、所求不得苦、略五盛陰苦,是謂知苦如真。云何知苦習如真?謂因老死便有苦,是謂知苦習如真。云何知苦滅如真?謂老死滅苦便滅,是謂知苦滅如真。云何知苦滅道如真?謂八支聖道,正見乃至正定為八,是謂知苦滅道如真。尊者舍梨子!若有比丘如是知苦如真,知苦習、知苦滅、知苦滅道如真者,是謂比丘成就見,得正見,於法得不壞凈,入正法中。」
答曰:「有也。尊者舍梨子!謂有比丘知老死如真,知老死習、知老死滅、知老死滅道如真。云何知老?謂彼老耄,頭白齒落,盛壯日衰,身曲腳戾,體重氣上,柱杖而行,肌縮皮緩,皺如麻子,諸根毀熟,顏色醜惡,是名老也。云何知死?謂彼眾生、彼彼眾生種類,命終無常,死喪散滅,壽盡破壞,命根閉塞,是名死也。此說死,前說老,是名老死,是謂知老死如真。云何知老死習如真?謂因生便有老死,是謂知老死習如真
現代漢語譯本:如何如實知曉苦?即生之苦、老之苦、病之苦、死之苦、怨憎會之苦、愛別離之苦、所求不得之苦,簡而言之,五蘊熾盛之苦,這便是如實知曉苦。如何如實知曉苦的根源?即因為老死而有苦,這便是如實知曉苦的根源。如何如實知曉苦的止息?即老死止息則苦止息,這便是如實知曉苦的止息。如何如實知曉滅苦之道?即八支聖道,正見乃至正定這八項,這便是如實知曉滅苦之道。尊者舍利子!若有比丘如此如實知曉苦,知曉苦的根源、知曉苦的止息、知曉滅苦之道,這便是比丘成就正見,獲得正見,對佛法獲得不壞的清凈信心,進入正法之中。 尊者舍利子聽后,讚歎道:『善哉!善哉!賢者大拘絺羅!』尊者舍利子讚歎后,歡喜地奉行。 尊者舍利子又問:『賢者大拘絺羅!是否還有其他事,能使比丘成就正見,獲得正見,對佛法獲得不壞的清凈信心,進入正法呢?』 回答說:『有的。尊者舍利子!即有比丘如實知曉老死,知曉老死的根源、知曉老死的止息、知曉老死滅之道。如何知曉老?即衰老,頭髮變白,牙齒脫落,壯盛之日衰退,身體彎曲,腳部畸形,身體沉重,氣息上涌,拄著枴杖行走,肌肉萎縮,面板鬆弛,皺紋如麻,諸根衰敗,容顏醜陋,這便是老。如何知曉死?即眾生,各種各樣的眾生,生命終結,無常,死亡,消散,壽命耗盡,破壞,命根閉塞,這便是死。前面說的是老,後面說的是死,合起來就是老死,這便是如實知曉老死。如何如實知曉老死的根源?即因為生而有老死,這便是如實知曉老死的根源。
English version: How does one truly know suffering? It is the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of sickness, the suffering of death, the suffering of being with what one dislikes, the suffering of being separated from what one loves, the suffering of not getting what one wants, and in brief, the suffering of the five aggregates of clinging. This is what is meant by truly knowing suffering. How does one truly know the origin of suffering? It is that because of old age and death, there is suffering. This is what is meant by truly knowing the origin of suffering. How does one truly know the cessation of suffering? It is that when old age and death cease, suffering ceases. This is what is meant by truly knowing the cessation of suffering. How does one truly know the path to the cessation of suffering? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely right view to right concentration. This is what is meant by truly knowing the path to the cessation of suffering. Venerable Sariputta! If a bhikkhu thus truly knows suffering, knows the origin of suffering, knows the cessation of suffering, and knows the path to the cessation of suffering, this bhikkhu has attained right view, has obtained right view, has unwavering faith in the Dharma, and has entered the true Dharma. Having heard this, Venerable Sariputta exclaimed: 'Well said! Well said, Venerable Mahakotthita!' Having exclaimed this, Venerable Sariputta joyfully practiced accordingly. Venerable Sariputta then asked: 'Venerable Mahakotthita! Is there anything else by which a bhikkhu attains right view, obtains right view, has unwavering faith in the Dharma, and enters the true Dharma?' He replied: 'Yes, Venerable Sariputta! It is when a bhikkhu truly knows old age and death, knows the origin of old age and death, knows the cessation of old age and death, and knows the path to the cessation of old age and death. How does one know old age? It is when one is old and frail, hair turns white, teeth fall out, the vigor of youth declines, the body is bent, the feet are deformed, the body is heavy, the breath rises, one walks with a cane, muscles shrink, skin loosens, wrinkles like a hemp seed, the faculties are weakened, and the complexion is ugly. This is what is meant by old age. How does one know death? It is when beings, various kinds of beings, come to the end of their lives, are impermanent, die, are scattered, their lifespan is exhausted, destroyed, and the life force is cut off. This is what is meant by death. The former is old age, the latter is death, and together they are old age and death. This is what is meant by truly knowing old age and death. How does one truly know the origin of old age and death? It is that because of birth, there is old age and death. This is what is meant by truly knowing the origin of old age and death.'

Venerable Sariputta then asked: 'Venerable Mahakotthita, is there any other reason why a bhikkhu, having achieved right view, attains right view, gains unwavering faith in the Dhamma, and enters the true Dharma?' He replied: 'Yes, Venerable Sariputta. It is when a bhikkhu truly knows existence, truly knows the arising of existence, truly knows the cessation of existence, and truly knows the path leading to the cessation of existence.

現代漢語譯本:『舍利子尊者!如果有一位比丘能夠如實知曉(對苦的)更樂於接受的真相,知曉(對苦的)更樂於習得的真相,知曉(對苦的)更樂於滅除的真相,知曉(對苦的)更樂於滅除之道的真相,那麼這位比丘就可說是成就了正見,獲得了正見,對佛法有了不可動搖的清凈信心,進入了正法之中。』 舍利子尊者聽后,讚歎道:『太好了!太好了!大拘絺羅賢者!』 舍利子尊者讚歎之後,歡喜地接受並奉行。 舍利子尊者又問道:『大拘絺羅賢者!是否還有其他事情,能讓比丘成就正見,獲得正見,對佛法有不可動搖的清凈信心,進入正法呢?』 回答說:『有的。舍利子尊者!如果有一位比丘能夠如實知曉六處,知曉六處的生起,知曉六處的滅除,知曉通往六處滅除的道路。如何如實知曉六處呢?即眼處、耳處、鼻處、舌處、身處、意處,這就是如實知曉六處。如何如實知曉六處的生起呢?即因名色而有六處,這就是如實知曉六處的生起。如何如實知曉六處的滅除呢?即名色滅則六處滅,這就是如實知曉六處的滅除。如何如實知曉通往六處滅除的道路呢?即八支聖道,包括正見乃至正定這八項,這就是如實知曉通往六處滅除的道路。舍利子尊者!如果有一位比丘能夠如實知曉六處,知曉六處的生起,知曉六處的滅除,知曉通往六處滅除的道路,那麼這位比丘就可說是成就了正見,獲得了正見,對佛法有了不可動搖的清凈信心,進入了正法之中。』
English version: 'Venerable Sariputta! If a bhikkhu knows truly the more pleasurable as it is, knows truly the arising of the more pleasurable, knows truly the cessation of the more pleasurable, knows truly the path leading to the cessation of the more pleasurable, then that bhikkhu is said to have accomplished right view, attained right view, has unwavering faith in the Dhamma, and has entered the true Dhamma.' Venerable Sariputta, having heard this, exclaimed: 'Excellent! Excellent, Venerable Mahakotthita!' Having exclaimed this, Venerable Sariputta joyfully accepted and practiced it. Venerable Sariputta then asked: 'Venerable Mahakotthita! Is there anything else by which a bhikkhu accomplishes right view, attains right view, has unwavering faith in the Dhamma, and enters the true Dhamma?' He replied: 'Yes, Venerable Sariputta! It is when a bhikkhu knows truly the six sense bases, knows truly the arising of the six sense bases, knows truly the cessation of the six sense bases, and knows truly the path leading to the cessation of the six sense bases. How does one know truly the six sense bases? It is the eye base, ear base, nose base, tongue base, body base, and mind base. This is knowing truly the six sense bases. How does one know truly the arising of the six sense bases? It is because of name and form that there are six sense bases. This is knowing truly the arising of the six sense bases. How does one know truly the cessation of the six sense bases? It is when name and form cease, the six sense bases cease. This is knowing truly the cessation of the six sense bases.

English version: 'Venerable Sariputta, if a bhikkhu truly knows knowledge, truly knows the arising of knowledge, the cessation of knowledge, and the path leading to the cessation of knowledge, then that bhikkhu is said to have attained right view, has gained right understanding, has unwavering faith in the Dhamma, and has entered the true Dharma.' Venerable Sariputta, having heard this, exclaimed: 'Excellent! Excellent, Venerable Mahakotthita!' Having praised him, Venerable Sariputta joyfully accepted and practiced it. Venerable Sariputta then asked: 'Venerable Mahakotthita, is there any other reason why a bhikkhu attains right view, gains right understanding, has unwavering faith in the Dhamma, and enters the true Dharma?' He replied: 'Yes, Venerable Sariputta. It is when a bhikkhu truly knows action, truly knows the arising of action, the cessation of action, and the path leading to the cessation of action. How does one truly know action? It is that there are three kinds of action: bodily action, verbal action, and mental action. This is truly knowing action. How does one truly know the arising of action? It is that action arises due to ignorance. This is truly knowing the arising of action. How does one truly know the cessation of action? It is that when ignorance ceases, action also ceases. This is truly knowing the cessation of action. How does one truly know the path leading to the cessation of action? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely right view to right concentration. This is truly knowing the path leading to the cessation of action.

Venerable Sariputta then asked: 'Venerable Mahakotthita, if a bhikkhu's ignorance has been extinguished and knowledge has arisen, what else is there to do?' Venerable Mahakotthita replied: 'Venerable Sariputta, if a bhikkhu's ignorance has been extinguished and knowledge has arisen, there is nothing more to do.'
尊者舍梨子聞已,嘆曰:「善哉!善哉!賢者大拘絺羅!」
如是,彼二尊更互說義,各歡喜奉行,從坐起去。
大拘絺羅經第九竟(四千七十七字)
(三〇)中阿含舍梨子相應品象跡喻經第十(初一日誦)
爾時,尊者舍梨子告諸比丘:「諸賢!若有無量善法,彼一切法皆四聖諦所攝,來入四聖諦中,謂四聖諦於一切法最為第一。所以者何?攝受一切眾善法故。諸賢!猶如諸畜之跡,像跡為第一。所以者何?彼象跡者最廣大故。如是,諸賢!無量善法,彼一切法皆四聖諦所攝,來入四聖諦中,謂四聖諦於一切法最為第一。云何為四?謂苦聖諦,苦習、苦滅、苦滅道聖諦。諸賢!云何苦聖諦?謂生苦、老苦、病苦、死苦、怨憎會苦、愛別離苦、所求不得苦、略五盛陰苦。
「諸賢!云何五盛陰?謂色盛陰,覺、想、行、識盛陰。諸賢!云何色盛陰?謂有色,彼一切四大及四大造。諸賢!云何四大?謂地界,水、火、風界。諸賢!云何地界?諸賢!謂地界有二,有內地界,有外地界。諸賢!云何內地界?謂內身中在,內所攝堅,堅性住,內之所受
尊者舍利子聽了,讚歎說:『好啊!好啊!賢者大拘絺羅!』 就這樣,他們兩位尊者互相闡述義理,各自歡喜奉行,然後從座位起身離去。 《大拘絺羅經》第九完(四千七十七字) (三〇)《中阿含·舍利子相應品·象跡喻經》第十(初一日誦) 當時,尊者舍利子告訴眾比丘:『諸位賢者!如果有無量的善法,那些一切法都包含在四聖諦之中,歸入四聖諦之中,也就是說,四聖諦對於一切法最為第一。為什麼呢?因為它攝受一切善法。諸位賢者!就像各種動物的足跡,像的足跡最為第一。為什麼呢?因為象的足跡最為廣大。同樣,諸位賢者!無量的善法,那些一切法都包含在四聖諦之中,歸入四聖諦之中,也就是說,四聖諦對於一切法最為第一。什麼是四聖諦呢?就是苦聖諦,苦集、苦滅、苦滅道聖諦。諸位賢者!什麼是苦聖諦呢?就是生苦、老苦、病苦、死苦、怨憎會苦、愛別離苦、所求不得苦,簡而言之就是五盛陰苦。 『諸位賢者!什麼是五盛陰呢?就是色盛陰,受、想、行、識盛陰。諸位賢者!什麼是色盛陰呢?就是有形體的,那些一切都是四大以及四大所造。諸位賢者!什麼是四大呢?就是地界、水界、火界、風界。諸位賢者!什麼是地界呢?諸位賢者!地界有兩種,有內地界,有外地界。諸位賢者!什麼是內地界呢?就是身體內部存在的,內部所包含的堅硬,堅硬的性質,內部所感受到的'
Venerable Sariputta, having heard this, exclaimed: 'Excellent! Excellent! Venerable Mahakotthita!' Thus, the two venerable ones further explained the meaning to each other, each rejoicing and practicing accordingly, then rose from their seats and departed. The ninth discourse, Mahakotthita Sutta, is complete (4,077 words). (30) The tenth discourse, the Elephant Footprint Simile Sutta, from the Sariputta Samyutta of the Majjhima Nikaya (recited on the first day) Then, Venerable Sariputta addressed the bhikkhus: 'Friends, if there are countless wholesome qualities, all those qualities are included within the Four Noble Truths, they come into the Four Noble Truths, that is to say, the Four Noble Truths are the foremost of all qualities. Why is that? Because they encompass all wholesome qualities. Friends, just as among the footprints of all animals, the elephant's footprint is the foremost. Why is that? Because the elephant's footprint is the largest. Likewise, friends, countless wholesome qualities, all those qualities are included within the Four Noble Truths, they come into the Four Noble Truths, that is to say, the Four Noble Truths are the foremost of all qualities. What are the four? They are the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering. Friends, what is the Noble Truth of Suffering? It is birth, aging, sickness, death, association with the disliked, separation from the liked, not getting what one wants, in short, the five aggregates of clinging are suffering.' 'Friends, what are the five aggregates of clinging? They are the aggregate of form, the aggregates of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Friends, what is the aggregate of form? It is form, all that is the four great elements and what is derived from the four great elements. Friends, what are the four great elements? They are the earth element, the water element, the fire element, and the air element. Friends, what is the earth element? Friends, the earth element is of two kinds, there is the internal earth element, and there is the external earth element. Friends, what is the internal earth element? It is that which is within the body, that which is internal, that which is solid, that which has the nature of solidity, that which is internally experienced.'
。此為云何?謂發、毛、爪、齒、粗細面板、肌肉、筋、骨、心、腎、肝、肺、脾、腸、𦝩、糞,如是比此身中余在,內所攝,堅性住,內之所受,諸賢!是謂內地界。諸賢!外地界者,謂大是,凈是,不憎惡是。諸賢!有時水災,是時滅外地界。
「諸賢!此外地界極大,極凈,極不憎惡,是無常法、盡法、衰法、變易之法,況復此身暫住,為愛所受?謂不多聞愚癡凡夫而作此念:『是我,是我所,我是彼所。』多聞聖弟子不作此念:『是我,是我所,我是彼所。』彼云何作是念?若有他人罵詈、捶打、瞋恚責數者,彼作是念:『我生此苦,從因緣生,非無因緣。云何為緣?緣苦更樂。』彼觀此更樂無常,觀覺、想、行、識無常,彼心緣界住止、合一、心定、不移動。彼於後時他人來語柔辭軟言者,彼作是念:『我生此樂,從因緣生,非無因緣。云何為緣?緣樂更樂。』彼觀此更樂無常,觀覺、想、行、識、無常,彼心緣界住,止合一心,定不移動。彼於後時,若幼少、中年、長老來行不可事,或以拳叉,或以石擲,或刀杖加,彼作是念:『我受此身,色法粗質,四大之種,從父母生,飲食長養,常衣被覆,坐臥按摩,澡浴強忍,是破壞法,是滅盡法,離散之法,我因此身致拳叉、石擲及刀杖加
現代漢語譯本:這是什麼呢?指的是頭髮、體毛、指甲、牙齒、粗糙的面板、肌肉、筋、骨頭、心臟、腎臟、肝臟、肺臟、脾臟、腸子、糞便,以及諸如此類存在於身體內部,屬於內在的、堅硬的、內在感受的物質。諸位賢者,這被稱為內地界。諸位賢者,外地界指的是廣大的、清凈的、不令人厭惡的物質。諸位賢者,有時發生水災,那時外地界就會消滅。 諸位賢者,此外地界極其廣大,極其清凈,極其不令人厭惡,是無常的、會消亡的、會衰敗的、會變化的。更何況這個身體只是暫時居住,為愛慾所接受呢?那些沒有聽聞佛法、愚癡的凡夫會產生這樣的想法:『這是我,這是我的,我是屬於它的。』而那些聽聞佛法的聖弟子不會產生這樣的想法:『這是我,這是我的,我是屬於它的。』他們會如何思考呢?如果有人辱罵、毆打、嗔怒責備他們,他們會這樣想:『我所遭受的痛苦,是從因緣產生的,不是沒有原因的。什麼原因呢?因為痛苦而更加渴望快樂。』他們觀察到這種更加渴望的快樂是無常的,觀察到感覺、思想、行為、意識都是無常的。他們的心專注于地界,保持平靜、統一、堅定、不移動。之後,如果有人用柔和的言辭來安慰他們,他們會這樣想:『我所感受到的快樂,是從因緣產生的,不是沒有原因的。什麼原因呢?因為快樂而更加渴望快樂。』他們觀察到這種更加渴望的快樂是無常的,觀察到感覺、思想、行為、意識都是無常的。他們的心專注于地界,保持平靜、統一、堅定、不移動。之後,如果年幼、中年、年長的人做出不好的行為,或者用拳頭、石頭、刀杖攻擊他們,他們會這樣想:『我所承受的這個身體,是粗糙的色法,是四大元素組成的,從父母那裡出生,靠飲食滋養,經常被衣服覆蓋,需要坐臥休息,需要洗澡來保持清潔,需要忍受各種不適。這個身體是會破壞的,會消亡的,會離散的。我因為這個身體而遭受拳頭、石頭和刀杖的攻擊。』
English version: What is this? It refers to hair, body hair, nails, teeth, rough skin, muscles, tendons, bones, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, spleen, intestines, feces, and other such things that exist within the body, belonging to the internal, solid, and internally perceived substances. Venerable ones, this is called the inner earth element. Venerable ones, the outer earth element refers to the vast, pure, and non-repulsive substances. Venerable ones, sometimes there are floods, and at that time the outer earth element will be destroyed. Venerable ones, this outer earth element is extremely vast, extremely pure, and extremely non-repulsive. It is impermanent, subject to decay, decline, and change. How much more so is this body, which is only a temporary dwelling, accepted by desire? Those who have not heard the Dharma, foolish ordinary people, will have such thoughts: 'This is me, this is mine, I belong to it.' But those who have heard the Dharma, the noble disciples, will not have such thoughts: 'This is me, this is mine, I belong to it.' How do they think? If others scold, beat, or angrily rebuke them, they will think: 'The suffering I experience arises from causes and conditions, not without cause. What is the cause? Because of suffering, there is a greater desire for happiness.' They observe that this greater desire for happiness is impermanent, and they observe that feelings, thoughts, actions, and consciousness are impermanent. Their minds focus on the earth element, remaining calm, unified, firm, and unmoving. Later, if someone comforts them with gentle words, they will think: 'The happiness I experience arises from causes and conditions, not without cause. What is the cause? Because of happiness, there is a greater desire for happiness.' They observe that this greater desire for happiness is impermanent, and they observe that feelings, thoughts, actions, and consciousness are impermanent. Their minds focus on the earth element, remaining calm, unified, firm, and unmoving. Later, if young, middle-aged, or old people do bad things, or attack them with fists, stones, or weapons, they will think: 'This body I endure is a coarse form, composed of the four great elements, born from parents, nourished by food, often covered by clothes, needing to sit and lie down, needing to bathe to stay clean, needing to endure various discomforts. This body is subject to destruction, decay, and disintegration. Because of this body, I suffer attacks from fists, stones, and weapons.'
。』由是之故,彼極精勤而不懈怠,正身正念,不忘不癡,安定一心,彼作是念:『我極精勤而不懈怠,正身正念,不忘不癡,安定一心,我受此身,應致拳叉、石擲及刀杖加,但當精勤學世尊法。』
「諸賢!世尊亦如是說:『若有賊來,以利刀鋸,節節解身。若汝為賊以利刀鋸節節解身時,或心變易,或惡語言者,汝則衰退。汝當作是念:「若有賊來,以利刀鋸節節解我身者,因此令我心不變易,不惡語言,當爲彼節節解我身者起哀愍心,為彼人故,心與慈俱,遍滿一方成就游,如是二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與慈俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。」』
「諸賢!彼比丘若因佛、法、眾,不住善相應舍者,諸賢!彼比丘應慚愧羞厭,我于利無利,于德無德,謂我因佛、法、眾,不住善相應舍。諸賢!猶如初迎新婦,見其姑嫜,若見夫主,則慚愧羞厭。諸賢!當知比丘亦復如是,應慚愧羞厭,我于利無利,于德無德,謂我因佛、法、眾,不住善相應舍,彼因慚愧羞厭故,便住善相應舍,是妙息寂,謂舍一切有,離愛、無慾、滅盡無餘。諸賢!是謂比丘一切大學。
「諸賢!云何水界?諸賢!謂水界有二,有內水界,有外水界
現代漢語譯本:'因此,他極其精勤而不懈怠,端正身心,保持正念,不忘失,不愚癡,安定一心。他這樣想:『我極其精勤而不懈怠,端正身心,保持正念,不忘失,不愚癡,安定一心。我承受這個身體,應當承受拳打、石擲以及刀杖的加害,但應當精勤學習世尊的教法。』 『諸位賢者!世尊也這樣說過:『如果有盜賊來,用鋒利的刀鋸,一節一節地肢解你的身體。如果當盜賊用鋒利的刀鋸一節一節地肢解你的身體時,你的心生變化,或者說出惡語,那麼你就衰退了。你應該這樣想:「如果有盜賊來,用鋒利的刀鋸一節一節地肢解我的身體,因此,我心不生變化,不說惡語,應當對肢解我身體的人生起哀憫之心,爲了那個人,心懷慈愛,遍滿一方而行,像這樣二方、三方、四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心懷慈愛,沒有結怨,沒有嗔恨,沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,極其深遠,無量地善修,遍滿一切世間而行。」』 『諸位賢者!如果那位比丘因為佛、法、僧,不能安住于善相應的舍,諸位賢者!那位比丘應當感到慚愧羞恥,我對於利益沒有利益,對於功德沒有功德,說我因為佛、法、僧,不能安住于善相應的舍。諸位賢者!就像初次迎接新娘,見到她的公婆,如果見到丈夫,就會感到慚愧羞恥。諸位賢者!應當知道比丘也是這樣,應當感到慚愧羞恥,我對於利益沒有利益,對於功德沒有功德,說我因為佛、法、僧,不能安住于善相應的舍。他因為慚愧羞恥的緣故,便安住于善相應的舍,這是美妙的寂靜,就是捨棄一切有,遠離愛慾,滅盡無餘。諸位賢者!這就是所謂比丘的一切大學。』 『諸位賢者!什麼是水界呢?諸位賢者!所謂水界有兩種,有內在的水界,有外在的水界。』
English version: 'Therefore, he is extremely diligent and not lazy, upright in body and mind, maintaining mindfulness, not forgetful, not foolish, and with a stable mind. He thinks: 『I am extremely diligent and not lazy, upright in body and mind, maintaining mindfulness, not forgetful, not foolish, and with a stable mind. I endure this body, I should endure punches, stone throws, and the harm of knives and sticks, but I should diligently learn the teachings of the World Honored One.』 'Venerable ones! The World Honored One also said: 『If a thief comes and uses a sharp saw to dismember your body piece by piece. If, when the thief is dismembering your body piece by piece with a sharp saw, your mind changes, or you speak evil words, then you will decline. You should think: 「If a thief comes and uses a sharp saw to dismember my body piece by piece, therefore, my mind will not change, I will not speak evil words, I should have compassion for the person who is dismembering my body, for that person, with a heart of loving-kindness, pervade one direction and walk, like this two directions, three directions, four directions, the four cardinal points, above and below, universally pervading everything, with a heart of loving-kindness, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, extremely profound, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world and walking.」』 'Venerable ones! If that bhikkhu, because of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, cannot abide in the relinquishment of good correspondence, venerable ones! That bhikkhu should feel ashamed and embarrassed, I have no benefit for benefit, no merit for merit, saying that because of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, I cannot abide in the relinquishment of good correspondence. Venerable ones! Just like when a new bride is first welcomed, seeing her parents-in-law, if she sees her husband, she will feel ashamed and embarrassed. Venerable ones! You should know that a bhikkhu is also like this, he should feel ashamed and embarrassed, I have no benefit for benefit, no merit for merit, saying that because of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, I cannot abide in the relinquishment of good correspondence. Because of shame and embarrassment, he then abides in the relinquishment of good correspondence, this is wonderful tranquility, which is to relinquish all existence, to be free from desire, to extinguish without remainder. Venerable ones! This is what is called the bhikkhu's entire university.』 'Venerable ones! What is the water element? Venerable ones! The so-called water element has two kinds, there is an internal water element, and there is an external water element.'
。諸賢!云何內水界?謂內身中在,內所攝水,水性潤,內之所受。此為云何?謂腦、腦根,淚、汗、涕、唾、膿、血、肪、髓、涎、膽、小便,如是比此身中余在,內所攝水,水性潤,內之所受,諸賢!是謂內水界。諸賢!外水界者,謂大是,凈是,不憎惡是,諸賢!有時火災,是時滅外水界。
「諸賢!此外水界極大,極凈,極不憎惡,是無常法、盡法、衰法、變易之法,況復此身暫住,為愛所受?謂不多聞愚癡凡夫而作此念:『是我,是我所,我是彼所。』多聞聖弟子不作此念:『是我,是我所,我是彼所。』彼云何作是念?若有他人罵詈、捶打、瞋恚責數者,便作是念:『我生此苦,從因緣生,非無因緣。云何為緣?緣苦更樂。』彼觀此更樂無常,觀覺、想、行、識無常,彼心緣界住,止合一心,定不移動。彼於後時,他人來語柔辭軟言者,彼作是念:『我生此樂,從因緣生,非無因緣。云何為緣?緣樂更樂。』彼觀此更樂無常,觀覺、想、行、識無常,彼心緣界住,止合一心,定不移動
現代漢語譯本:各位賢者!什麼是內在的水界呢?指的是身體內部存在,被身體所包含的水,水的性質是濕潤的,是身體內部所感受的。這指的是什麼呢?指的是腦、腦根、眼淚、汗水、鼻涕、唾液、膿、血、脂肪、骨髓、口水、膽汁、小便,像這樣身體內部其餘存在,被身體所包含的水,水的性質是濕潤的,是身體內部所感受的。各位賢者!這就是所謂的內在水界。各位賢者!外在的水界指的是廣大的、清凈的、不令人厭惡的。各位賢者!有時發生火災,那時外在的水界就會被毀滅。 各位賢者!此外在的水界極其廣大,極其清凈,極其不令人厭惡,是無常的、會消亡的、會衰敗的、會變化的。更何況這個身體只是暫時居住,為愛慾所接受呢?那些沒有聽聞佛法、愚癡的凡夫會這樣想:『這是我,這是我的,我是屬於它的。』而那些聽聞佛法的聖弟子不會這樣想:『這是我,這是我的,我是屬於它的。』他們會怎麼想呢?如果有人辱罵、毆打、嗔怒責備他們,他們會這樣想:『我所產生的這種痛苦,是從因緣而生的,不是沒有原因的。什麼是原因呢?是因痛苦而產生快樂。』他們觀察到這種因痛苦而產生的快樂是無常的,觀察到感受、思想、行為、意識都是無常的。他們的心專注于界,停止併合為一心,堅定不移。之後,如果有人用柔和的言辭來安慰他們,他們會這樣想:『我所產生的這種快樂,是從因緣而生的,不是沒有原因的。什麼是原因呢?是因快樂而產生快樂。』他們觀察到這種因快樂而產生的快樂是無常的,觀察到感受、思想、行為、意識都是無常的。他們的心專注于界,停止併合為一心,堅定不移。
English version: Venerable ones! What is the internal water element? It refers to the water within the body, contained within the body, the nature of water is moist, and it is what is felt internally. What does this refer to? It refers to the brain, the root of the brain, tears, sweat, mucus, saliva, pus, blood, fat, marrow, phlegm, bile, urine, and other such things within the body, water contained within the body, the nature of which is moist, and is felt internally. Venerable ones! This is what is called the internal water element. Venerable ones! The external water element refers to that which is vast, pure, and not repulsive. Venerable ones! Sometimes there are fires, and at that time the external water element is destroyed. Venerable ones! This external water element is extremely vast, extremely pure, and extremely not repulsive, it is impermanent, subject to ending, subject to decay, and subject to change. How much more so is this body, which is only a temporary dwelling, accepted by desire? Those who have not heard the Dharma, foolish ordinary people, think like this: 'This is me, this is mine, I belong to it.' But those who have heard the Dharma, the noble disciples, do not think like this: 'This is me, this is mine, I belong to it.' How do they think? If others insult, beat, or angrily rebuke them, they think like this: 'The suffering I experience arises from causes and conditions, it is not without cause. What is the cause? It is from suffering that pleasure arises.' They observe that this pleasure arising from suffering is impermanent, they observe that feelings, thoughts, actions, and consciousness are impermanent. Their minds dwell on the element, stop and become one-pointed, and are unwavering. Later, if others come and speak to them with gentle and soft words, they think like this: 'The pleasure I experience arises from causes and conditions, it is not without cause. What is the cause? It is from pleasure that pleasure arises.' They observe that this pleasure arising from pleasure is impermanent, they observe that feelings, thoughts, actions, and consciousness are impermanent. Their minds dwell on the element, stop and become one-pointed, and are unwavering.
。彼於後時,若幼少、中年、長老來行不可事,或以拳叉,或以石擲,或刀杖加,彼作是念:『我受此身,色法粗質,四大之種,從父母生,飲食長養,常衣被覆,坐臥按摩,澡浴強忍,是破壞法,是滅盡法,離散之法,我因此身致拳叉、石擲及刀杖加。』由是之故,彼極精勤而不懈怠,正身正念,不忘不癡,安定一心,彼作是念:『我極精勤而不懈怠,正身正念,不忘不癡,安定一心,我受此身應致拳叉、石擲及刀杖加,但當精勤學世尊法。』
「諸賢!彼比丘若因佛、法、眾,不住善相應舍者,諸賢!彼比丘應慚愧羞厭,我于利無利,于德無德,謂我因佛、法、眾,不住善相應舍。諸賢!猶如初迎新婦,見其姑嫜,若見夫主,則慚愧羞厭
他後來,如果年幼、中年、年長的人來做不應該做的事,或者用拳頭打,或者用石頭扔,或者用刀杖加害,他會這樣想:『我接受了這個身體,是粗糙的物質,由四大元素構成,從父母那裡出生,靠飲食滋養,經常穿衣蓋被,坐臥休息,洗澡忍受寒冷,這是會破壞的,會滅盡的,會離散的。我因為這個身體而遭受拳打、石擲和刀杖加害。』因此,他非常精勤而不懈怠,端正身體,保持正念,不忘失,不愚癡,安定一心。他這樣想:『我非常精勤而不懈怠,端正身體,保持正念,不忘失,不愚癡,安定一心,我接受這個身體應該會遭受拳打、石擲和刀杖加害,但應當精勤學習世尊的教法。』 『諸位賢者!世尊也這樣說過:『如果有盜賊來,用鋒利的刀鋸,一節一節地肢解你的身體。如果當盜賊用鋒利的刀鋸一節一節地肢解你的身體時,你的心有變化,或者說出惡語,你就會衰退。你應該這樣想:「如果有盜賊來,用鋒利的刀鋸一節一節地肢解我的身體,因此,我不會讓心有變化,不說惡語,應當為那些肢解我身體的人升起哀憫之心,爲了他們,心懷慈愛,充滿一方,成就遊行,像這樣二三四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心懷慈愛,沒有結怨,沒有嗔恨,沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,非常巨大,無量善修,充滿一切世間,成就遊行。」』 『諸位賢者!那位比丘如果因為佛、法、僧,不能安住于善相應的捨棄,諸位賢者!那位比丘應該感到慚愧羞恥,我對於利益沒有利益,對於功德沒有功德,說我因為佛、法、僧,不能安住于善相應的捨棄。諸位賢者!就像剛迎娶的新娘,見到她的公婆,如果見到丈夫,就會感到慚愧羞恥。'
Later, if young, middle-aged, or old people come and do what is not proper, either striking with fists, or throwing stones, or adding knives or sticks, he thinks: 『I have received this body, which is coarse matter, composed of the four great elements, born from parents, nourished by food, always covered with clothing, resting in sitting and lying down, bathing and enduring cold, it is subject to destruction, to extinction, to dispersion. Because of this body, I suffer blows from fists, stones, and knives or sticks.』 Therefore, he is extremely diligent and not lazy, upright in body, with right mindfulness, not forgetful, not foolish, with a stable mind. He thinks: 『I am extremely diligent and not lazy, upright in body, with right mindfulness, not forgetful, not foolish, with a stable mind. I have received this body and should suffer blows from fists, stones, and knives or sticks, but I should diligently learn the teachings of the World Honored One.』 『Friends, the World Honored One also said: 『If a thief comes and dismembers your body with a sharp saw, limb by limb. If, when a thief dismembers your body limb by limb with a sharp saw, your mind changes, or you speak evil words, you will decline. You should think: 「If a thief comes and dismembers my body limb by limb with a sharp saw, therefore, I will not let my mind change, I will not speak evil words, I should arise compassion for those who dismember my body, for their sake, with a mind of loving-kindness, filling one direction, accomplishing the journey, like this in two, three, four directions, up and down, universally pervading all, with a mind of loving-kindness, without enmity, without hatred, without strife, extremely vast, very great, immeasurable good practice, filling all the world, accomplishing the journey.」』 『Friends, if that bhikkhu, because of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, does not abide in the abandonment of good correspondence, friends, that bhikkhu should feel ashamed and embarrassed, that I have no benefit from benefit, no merit from merit, saying that because of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, I do not abide in the abandonment of good correspondence. Friends, just like a newly welcomed bride, seeing her parents-in-law, if she sees her husband, she will feel ashamed and embarrassed.』
。諸賢!當知比丘亦復如是,應慚愧羞厭,我于利無利,于德無德,謂我因佛、法、眾,不住善相應舍,彼因慚愧羞厭故,便住善相應舍,是妙息寂,謂舍一切有,離愛、無慾,滅盡無餘。諸賢!是謂比丘一切大學。
「諸賢!云何火界?諸賢!謂火界有二,有內火界,有外火界。諸賢!云何內火界?謂內身中在,內所攝火,火性熱,內之所受。此為云何?謂暖身、熱身、煩悶、溫壯、消化飲食,如是比此身中余在,內所攝火,火性熱,內之所受,諸賢!是謂內火界。諸賢!外火界者,謂大是,凈是,不憎惡是。諸賢!有時外火界起,起已燒村邑、城郭、山林、曠野,燒彼已,或至道、至水,無受而滅。諸賢!外火界滅后,人民求火,或鉆木截竹,或以珠燧。
「諸賢!此外火界極大,極凈,極不憎惡,是無常法、盡法、衰法、變易之法,況復此身暫住,為愛所受?謂不多聞愚癡凡夫而作此念:『是我,是我所,我是彼所。』多聞聖弟子不作此念:『是我,是我所,我是彼所。』彼云何作是念?若有他人罵詈、捶打、瞋恚責數者,便作是念:『我生此苦,從因緣生,非無因緣。云何為緣?緣苦更樂。』彼觀此更樂無常,觀覺、想、行、識無常,彼心緣界住,止合一心,定不移動
現代漢語譯本:諸位賢者!應當知道,比丘也應如此,應當感到慚愧和羞恥,厭惡自己,因為我在有利或無利、有德或無德的情況下,自認為依靠佛、法、僧,卻不能安住于與善法相應的捨棄。他們因為慚愧和羞恥而厭惡自己,便能安住于與善法相應的捨棄,這是美妙的寂靜,即捨棄一切有,遠離愛慾,滅盡無餘。諸位賢者!這就是比丘所應達到的一切大學問。 現代漢語譯本:諸位賢者!什麼是火界呢?諸位賢者!火界有兩種,有內在的火界,有外在的火界。諸位賢者!什麼是內在的火界呢?是指身體內部存在的,身體所包含的火,其性質是熱的,是身體內部所感受到的。這是指什麼呢?是指身體的溫暖、發熱、煩悶、溫壯、消化食物,以及身體內部其他存在的,身體所包含的火,其性質是熱的,是身體內部所感受到的。諸位賢者!這就是內在的火界。諸位賢者!外在的火界是指巨大的、清凈的、不令人憎惡的火。諸位賢者!有時外在的火界會興起,興起後會焚燒村莊、城郭、山林、曠野,焚燒之後,有時會到達道路或水邊,沒有承受就熄滅了。諸位賢者!外在的火界熄滅后,人們會尋找火,或者鉆木取火,或者用燧石取火。 現代漢語譯本:諸位賢者!這外在的火界極其巨大,極其清凈,極其不令人憎惡,是無常的、會消盡的、會衰敗的、會變化的。更何況這個身體只是暫時存在,為愛慾所承受呢?那些沒有聽聞佛法、愚癡的凡夫會這樣想:『這是我,這是我的,我是屬於它的。』而多聞的聖弟子不會這樣想:『這是我,這是我的,我是屬於它的。』他們會怎麼想呢?如果有人辱罵、毆打、嗔怒責備他們,他們會這樣想:『我所遭受的痛苦,是從因緣而生的,不是沒有原因的。什麼是因緣呢?是緣于苦而尋求快樂。』他們觀察到這種尋求快樂是無常的,觀察到感受、思想、行為、意識都是無常的,他們的心安住于界,止息於一心,堅定不移。
English version: Worthy ones! You should know that a bhikkhu is also like this, he should feel shame and embarrassment, and be disgusted with himself, because in situations of gain or loss, virtue or lack of virtue, he thinks he relies on the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, yet he cannot abide in relinquishment that is in accordance with the good. Because of shame and embarrassment, they are disgusted with themselves, and then they can abide in relinquishment that is in accordance with the good. This is the wonderful tranquility, that is, relinquishing all existence, being free from desire, and extinguishing without remainder. Worthy ones! This is what a bhikkhu should achieve in all higher learning. English version: Worthy ones! What is the fire element? Worthy ones! There are two kinds of fire elements, there is the internal fire element, and there is the external fire element. Worthy ones! What is the internal fire element? It refers to the fire that exists within the body, the fire contained within the body, whose nature is heat, and is felt internally. What does this refer to? It refers to the warmth of the body, the heat of the body, the agitation, the vigor, the digestion of food, and other fire that exists within the body, contained within the body, whose nature is heat, and is felt internally. Worthy ones! This is the internal fire element. Worthy ones! The external fire element refers to fire that is great, pure, and not hateful. Worthy ones! Sometimes the external fire element arises, and having arisen, it burns villages, towns, forests, and wildernesses. After burning them, it sometimes reaches roads or water, and extinguishes without being sustained. Worthy ones! After the external fire element extinguishes, people seek fire, either by drilling wood, or by using flint. English version: Worthy ones! This external fire element is extremely great, extremely pure, and extremely not hateful. It is impermanent, subject to exhaustion, decay, and change. How much more so is this body, which is only temporary, and is sustained by desire? Those who have not heard the Dharma, foolish ordinary people, think like this: 『This is me, this is mine, I belong to it.』 But the learned noble disciples do not think like this: 『This is me, this is mine, I belong to it.』 How do they think? If others insult, beat, or angrily rebuke them, they think like this: 『The suffering I experience arises from causes and conditions, not without cause. What are the causes and conditions? They are the conditions that seek pleasure from suffering.』 They observe that this seeking of pleasure is impermanent, they observe that feelings, thoughts, actions, and consciousness are impermanent. Their minds abide in the element, cease in one-pointedness, and are unwavering.
。彼於後時,他人來語柔辭軟言者,彼作是念:『我生此樂,從因緣生,非無因緣。云何為緣?緣樂更樂。』彼觀此更樂無常,觀覺、想、行、識無常,彼心緣界住,止合一心,定不移動。彼於後時,若幼少、中年、長老來行不可事,或以拳叉,或以石擲,或刀杖加,彼作是念:『我受此身,色法粗質,四大之種,從父母生,飲食長養,常衣被覆,坐臥按摩,澡浴強忍,是破壞法,是滅盡法,離散之法,我因此身致拳叉、石擲及刀杖加。』由是之故,彼極精勤而不懈怠,正身正念,不忘不癡,安定一心,彼作是念:『我極精勤而不懈怠,正身正念,不忘不癡,安定一心,我受此身應致拳叉、石擲及刀杖加,但當精勤學世尊法。』
「諸賢!世尊亦如是說:『若有賊來,以利刀鋸,節節解身。若汝為賊以利刀鋸節節解身時,或心變易,或惡語言者,汝則衰退。汝當作是念:「若有賊來,以利刀鋸節節解我身者,因此令我心不變易,不惡語言,當爲彼節節解我身者起哀愍心,為彼人故,心與慈俱,遍滿一方成就游,如是二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與慈俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游
現代漢語譯本:後來,如果有人用溫和的言辭來勸說他,他會這樣想:『我所感受到的快樂,是因緣和合而生,並非無緣無故。那麼,什麼是因緣呢?就是因快樂而產生更多的快樂。』他觀察到這種更多的快樂是無常的,觀察到感受、思想、行為、意識都是無常的。他的心專注于界限,保持一心不亂,堅定不移。後來,如果年輕人、中年人或老年人做出不好的行為,例如用拳頭打他,用石頭扔他,或者用刀杖攻擊他,他會這樣想:『我所承受的這個身體,是粗糙的物質,由四大元素構成,由父母所生,靠飲食滋養,經常需要衣服覆蓋,需要坐臥休息,需要洗澡來保持清潔,需要忍受各種不適,這個身體是會損壞的,是會滅盡的,是會離散的。我因為這個身體而遭受拳打、石擲和刀杖的攻擊。』因此,他會非常精進而不懈怠,保持身體端正,正念現前,不忘失,不愚癡,安定一心。他會這樣想:『我非常精進而不懈怠,保持身體端正,正念現前,不忘失,不愚癡,安定一心。我承受這個身體,就應該會遭受拳打、石擲和刀杖的攻擊,但我應當精進地學習世尊的教法。』 諸位賢者!世尊也這樣說過:『如果有強盜來,用鋒利的刀鋸,一節一節地肢解你的身體。如果當強盜用鋒利的刀鋸一節一節地肢解你的身體時,你的心生變化,或者說出惡語,那麼你就衰退了。你應該這樣想:「如果有強盜來,用鋒利的刀鋸一節一節地肢解我的身體,因此,我不會讓我的心生變化,不會說出惡語,我應當對那些肢解我身體的人升起憐憫之心,爲了他們,我的心要充滿慈愛,遍滿一方,成就遊行,像這樣,遍滿二方、三方、四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,我的心要充滿慈愛,沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有嗔恚,沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,極其深遠,無量善修,遍滿一切世間,成就遊行。」』
English version: Later, if someone comes to him with gentle and soft words, he thinks, 'The pleasure I experience arises from conditions, not without cause. What are the conditions? The condition for pleasure is more pleasure.' He observes that this more pleasure is impermanent, and he observes that feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent. His mind dwells on the boundary, remains unified, and does not waver. Later, if young, middle-aged, or old people do improper things, such as striking him with fists, throwing stones at him, or attacking him with knives or sticks, he thinks, 'This body I have received is coarse matter, composed of the four great elements, born from parents, nourished by food, constantly covered by clothing, needing to sit and lie down, needing to bathe to stay clean, and needing to endure various discomforts. This body is subject to destruction, extinction, and disintegration. Because of this body, I suffer blows from fists, stones, and knives or sticks.' Therefore, he is extremely diligent and unremitting, keeping his body upright, with mindfulness present, not forgetful, not foolish, and with a stable mind. He thinks, 'I am extremely diligent and unremitting, keeping my body upright, with mindfulness present, not forgetful, not foolish, and with a stable mind. I have received this body, so I should expect to suffer blows from fists, stones, and knives or sticks, but I should diligently study the teachings of the World Honored One.' Noble ones! The World Honored One has also said, 'If a thief comes and dismembers your body with a sharp saw, limb by limb, if your mind changes or you speak harsh words while the thief is dismembering your body with a sharp saw, limb by limb, then you will decline. You should think, 「If a thief comes and dismembers my body with a sharp saw, limb by limb, I will not let my mind change, nor will I speak harsh words. I should arouse compassion for those who are dismembering my body. For their sake, my mind should be filled with loving-kindness, pervading one direction, accomplishing the practice. Likewise, pervading two, three, four directions, the four intermediate directions, above and below, universally pervading all, my mind should be filled with loving-kindness, without bonds, without resentment, without hatred, without strife, extremely vast, extremely profound, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world, accomplishing the practice.」』

『諸位賢者!如果那位比丘因為佛、法、僧的原因,不能安住于善法而捨棄,諸位賢者!那位比丘應當感到慚愧羞恥,因為我對於利益沒有利益,對於功德沒有功德,說我因為佛、法、僧的原因,不能安住于善法而捨棄。諸位賢者!就像剛迎娶的新娘,見到她的公婆,或者見到她的丈夫,就會感到慚愧羞恥一樣。諸位賢者!應當知道比丘也是如此,應當感到慚愧羞恥,因為我對於利益沒有利益,對於功德沒有功德,說我因為佛、法、僧的原因,不能安住于善法而捨棄,他因為慚愧羞恥的緣故,便安住于善法而捨棄,這是美妙的寂靜,即捨棄一切有,遠離愛慾,滅盡無餘。諸位賢者!這就是比丘的一切大學問。 『諸位賢者!什麼是風界呢?諸位賢者!所謂風界有兩種,有內風界,有外風界。諸位賢者!什麼是內風界呢?就是身體內部存在的,身體所包含的風,風的性質是動的,是身體內部所感受的。這是什麼呢?就是上行風、下行風、腹風、執行風、收縮風、刀風、躋風、非道風、節節執行風、呼出風、吸入風,像這樣身體內部其餘存在的,身體所包含的風,風的性質是動的,是身體內部所感受的,諸位賢者!這就是內風界。諸位賢者!外風界,就是大的,清凈的,不令人憎惡的。諸位賢者!有時外風界興起,風界興起時,會拔起房屋,拔起樹木,崩塌山峰,山巖被拔起后就停止了,一絲一毫也不動。諸位賢者!外風界停止后,人們會尋求風,或者用扇子,或者用哆邏葉,或者用衣服來求風。 『諸位賢者!這風界極大,極清凈,極不令人憎惡,是無常的法、會消盡的法、會衰敗的法、會變化的法,何況這個身體只是暫時居住,為愛慾所接受呢?就是那些不多聞的愚癡凡夫會這樣想:『這是我,這是我的,我是屬於他的。』
'Wise friends! If that bhikkhu, because of the Buddha, the Dharma, or the Sangha, does not abide in good conduct and abandons it, wise friends! that bhikkhu should feel shame and embarrassment, saying, 'I have no benefit from benefit, no virtue from virtue, that I, because of the Buddha, the Dharma, or the Sangha, do not abide in good conduct and abandon it.' Wise friends! Just as a newlywed bride, upon seeing her in-laws or her husband, feels shame and embarrassment. Wise friends! Know that a bhikkhu is also like this, he should feel shame and embarrassment, saying, 'I have no benefit from benefit, no virtue from virtue, that I, because of the Buddha, the Dharma, or the Sangha, do not abide in good conduct and abandon it.' Because of this shame and embarrassment, he then abides in good conduct and abandons it, which is a wonderful peace, that is, abandoning all existence, being free from desire, and extinguishing without remainder. Wise friends! This is the bhikkhu's entire great learning. 'Wise friends! What is the wind element? Wise friends! There are two kinds of wind element, the internal wind element and the external wind element. Wise friends! What is the internal wind element? It is the wind that exists within the body, the wind contained within the body, the nature of which is movement, and which is felt within the body. What is this? It is the upward-moving wind, the downward-moving wind, the abdominal wind, the circulating wind, the contracting wind, the cutting wind, the ascending wind, the non-path wind, the wind that moves through the joints, the exhaling wind, and the inhaling wind. Like this, the rest of the wind that exists within the body, the wind contained within the body, the nature of which is movement, and which is felt within the body, wise friends! This is the internal wind element. Wise friends! The external wind element is that which is great, pure, and not hateful. Wise friends! Sometimes the external wind element arises, and when the wind element arises, it uproots houses, uproots trees, collapses mountains, and after the mountain rocks are uprooted, it stops, without moving even a hair. Wise friends! After the external wind element stops, people seek wind, either with a fan, or with a palm leaf, or with clothing. 'Wise friends! This wind element is extremely great, extremely pure, and extremely not hateful, it is an impermanent law, a law of exhaustion, a law of decay, a law of change, how much more so this body, which is only temporarily dwelling, and is received by desire? It is those unlearned, foolish ordinary people who think like this: 'This is me, this is mine, I belong to that.'
。』多聞聖弟子不作此念:『是我,是我所,我是彼所。』彼云何作是念?若有他人罵詈、捶打、瞋恚責數者,便作是念:『我生此苦,從因緣生,非無因緣。云何為緣?緣苦更樂。』彼觀此更樂無常,觀覺、想、行、識無常,彼心緣界住,止合一心,定不移動。彼於後時,他人來語柔辭軟言者,彼作是念:『我生此樂,從因緣生,非無因緣。云何為緣?緣樂更樂。』彼觀此更樂無常,觀覺、想、行、識無常,彼心緣界住,止合一心,定不移動;彼於後時,若幼少、中年、長老來行不可事,或以拳叉,或以石擲,或刀杖加,彼作是念:『我受此身,色法粗質,四大之種,從父母生,飲食長養,常衣被覆,坐臥按摩,澡浴強忍,是破壞法,是滅盡法,離散之法,我因此身致拳叉、石擲及刀杖加。』由是之故,彼極精勤而不懈怠,正身正念,不忘不癡,安定一心,彼作是念:『我極精勤而不懈怠,正身正念,不忘不癡,安定一心,我受此身應致拳叉、石擲及刀杖加,但當精勤學世尊法。』
「諸賢!世尊亦如是說:『若有賊來,以利刀鋸,節節解身。若汝為賊以利刀鋸節節解身時,或心變易,或惡語言者,汝則衰退
現代漢語譯本:多聞的聖弟子不會這樣想:『這是我,這是我的所有,我是屬於他的。』他們會如何思考呢?如果有人辱罵、毆打、憤怒地責備他們,他們會這樣想:『我所遭受的痛苦,是因緣所生,並非無緣無故。什麼是因緣呢?是因苦而生樂。』他們觀察到這種因苦而生的樂是無常的,觀察到感受、思想、行為、意識都是無常的。他們的心專注于界,止息併合為一心,堅定不移。之後,如果有人用柔和的言辭來安慰他們,他們會這樣想:『我所感受的快樂,是因緣所生,並非無緣無故。什麼是因緣呢?是因樂而生樂。』他們觀察到這種因樂而生的樂是無常的,觀察到感受、思想、行為、意識都是無常的。他們的心專注于界,止息併合為一心,堅定不移。之後,如果年輕人、中年人、老年人做出不恰當的行為,或者用拳頭、叉子、石頭投擲,或者用刀杖加害,他們會這樣想:『我所承受的這個身體,是粗糙的色法,由四大元素組成,從父母那裡出生,靠飲食滋養,經常被衣服覆蓋,需要坐臥休息,需要洗澡來保持清潔,需要忍受各種不適,這個身體是會破壞的,會滅盡的,會離散的。我因為這個身體才遭受拳頭、叉子、石頭投擲以及刀杖的傷害。』因此,他們會非常精進而不懈怠,端正身心,保持正念,不忘失,不愚癡,安定一心。他們會這樣想:『我非常精進而不懈怠,端正身心,保持正念,不忘失,不愚癡,安定一心,我承受這個身體可能會遭受拳頭、叉子、石頭投擲以及刀杖的傷害,但我應當精進學習世尊的教法。』 諸位賢者!世尊也這樣說過:『如果有盜賊來,用鋒利的刀鋸,一節一節地肢解你的身體。如果你在被盜賊用鋒利的刀鋸一節一節地肢解身體時,心中有所改變,或者說出惡語,那麼你就會衰退。』
English version: A well-learned noble disciple does not think, 'This is me, this is mine, I belong to that.' How do they think? If others scold, beat, or angrily rebuke them, they think, 'The suffering I experience arises from conditions, not without cause. What are the conditions? It is pleasure arising from suffering.' They observe that this pleasure arising from suffering is impermanent, and they observe that feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent. Their mind dwells on the element, becomes unified and still, and does not waver. Later, if others come and speak with gentle and kind words, they think, 'The pleasure I experience arises from conditions, not without cause. What are the conditions? It is pleasure arising from pleasure.' They observe that this pleasure arising from pleasure is impermanent, and they observe that feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent. Their mind dwells on the element, becomes unified and still, and does not waver. Later, if young, middle-aged, or old people act inappropriately, or strike with fists, forks, or throw stones, or inflict harm with knives or sticks, they think, 'This body I endure is a coarse form, composed of the four great elements, born from parents, nourished by food, constantly covered by clothing, needing to sit and lie down, needing to bathe to stay clean, needing to endure various discomforts. This body is subject to destruction, extinction, and disintegration. It is because of this body that I suffer from fists, forks, stones, and knives or sticks.' Therefore, they are extremely diligent and not lazy, upright in body and mind, maintaining mindfulness, not forgetful, not foolish, and their mind is stable. They think, 'I am extremely diligent and not lazy, upright in body and mind, maintaining mindfulness, not forgetful, not foolish, and my mind is stable. I endure this body that may suffer from fists, forks, stones, and knives or sticks, but I should diligently learn the teachings of the Blessed One.' Noble ones! The Blessed One also said this: 'If thieves come and dismember your body with sharp saws, limb by limb. If, while thieves are dismembering your body with sharp saws, limb by limb, your mind changes, or you speak harsh words, then you will decline.'
。汝當作是念:「若有賊來,以利刀鋸節節解我身者,因此令我心不變易,不惡語言,當爲彼節節解我身者起哀愍心,為彼人故,心與慈俱,遍滿一方成就游,如是二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與慈俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。」』
「諸賢!猶如因材木,因泥土,因水草,覆裹于空,便生屋名。諸賢!當知此身亦復如是,因筋骨,因面板,因肉血,纏裹于空,便生身名。諸賢!若內眼處壞者,外色便不為光明所照,則無有念,眼識不得生。諸賢!若內眼處不壞者,外色便為光明所照,而便有念,眼識得生。諸賢!內眼處及色,眼識知外色,是屬色陰。若有覺是覺陰,若有想是想陰,若有思是思陰,若有識是識陰,如是觀陰合會
現代漢語譯本:你應該這樣想:『即使有盜賊用鋒利的刀鋸一節節地肢解我的身體,我也不會因此改變心意,不會說惡語,反而要對肢解我身體的人升起憐憫之心,爲了他們,我的心要充滿慈愛,遍佈一方,成就遊行;像這樣,遍佈二方、三方、四方、四維上下,普遍周及一切,我的心要充滿慈愛,沒有結怨,沒有嗔恨,沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,極其深遠,無量地修習,遍滿一切世間,成就遊行。』 『諸位賢者!如果那位比丘因為佛、法、僧的緣故,不能安住于善相應的舍離,諸位賢者!那位比丘應當感到慚愧羞恥,因為我在有利無利、有德無德的情況下,卻因為佛、法、僧的緣故,不能安住于善相應的舍離。諸位賢者!就像剛迎娶的新娘,見到她的公婆,或者見到丈夫,就會感到慚愧羞恥一樣。諸位賢者!應當知道比丘也是如此,應當感到慚愧羞恥,因為我在有利無利、有德無德的情況下,卻因為佛、法、僧的緣故,不能安住于善相應的舍離。他因為慚愧羞恥的緣故,便安住于善相應的舍離,這是美妙的寂靜,也就是捨棄一切有,遠離愛慾,滅盡無餘。諸位賢者!這就是比丘的一切大學。』 『諸位賢者!就像因為木材、泥土、水草覆蓋在空間上,就產生了房屋的名稱一樣。諸位賢者!應當知道這個身體也是如此,因為筋骨、面板、肉血纏裹在空間上,就產生了身體的名稱。諸位賢者!如果內在的眼處壞了,外在的顏色就不會被光明照耀,也就沒有念頭,眼識無法產生。諸位賢者!如果內在的眼處沒有壞,外在的顏色就會被光明照耀,於是便有念頭,眼識得以產生。諸位賢者!內在的眼處和顏色,眼識知道外在的顏色,這屬於色陰。如果有感覺,就是受陰;如果有想法,就是想陰;如果有思慮,就是行陰;如果有意識,就是識陰。像這樣觀察五陰的聚合。'
English version: You should think like this: 『Even if a thief were to dismember my body piece by piece with a sharp saw, I would not change my mind because of it, I would not speak evil words, but rather I would raise a compassionate heart for the one who dismembers my body. For their sake, my heart should be filled with loving-kindness, pervading one direction, accomplishing the practice; like this, pervading two, three, four directions, the four intermediate directions, above and below, universally encompassing all, my heart should be filled with loving-kindness, without enmity, without hatred, without strife, extremely vast, extremely profound, immeasurably practiced, pervading all the world, accomplishing the practice.』 『Venerable ones! If that bhikkhu, because of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, cannot abide in the abandonment that is in accordance with the good, venerable ones! That bhikkhu should feel ashamed and embarrassed, because in situations of gain and loss, virtue and non-virtue, I cannot abide in the abandonment that is in accordance with the good because of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. Venerable ones! Just like a newly welcomed bride, when she sees her parents-in-law, or sees her husband, she feels ashamed and embarrassed. Venerable ones! You should know that a bhikkhu is also like this, he should feel ashamed and embarrassed, because in situations of gain and loss, virtue and non-virtue, I cannot abide in the abandonment that is in accordance with the good because of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. Because of this shame and embarrassment, he then abides in the abandonment that is in accordance with the good, this is the wonderful tranquility, which is to abandon all existence, to be free from desire, to extinguish without remainder. Venerable ones! This is what is called the bhikkhu's entire university.』 『Venerable ones! Just like because of wood, mud, and grass covering the space, the name of a house arises. Venerable ones! You should know that this body is also like this, because of tendons, bones, skin, flesh, and blood wrapped around the space, the name of a body arises. Venerable ones! If the inner eye faculty is broken, the outer color will not be illuminated by light, and there will be no thought, and eye consciousness cannot arise. Venerable ones! If the inner eye faculty is not broken, the outer color will be illuminated by light, and then there will be thought, and eye consciousness can arise. Venerable ones! The inner eye faculty and color, eye consciousness knows the outer color, this belongs to the form aggregate. If there is feeling, that is the feeling aggregate; if there is perception, that is the perception aggregate; if there is volition, that is the volition aggregate; if there is consciousness, that is the consciousness aggregate. Observe the aggregation of the five aggregates in this way.』
「諸賢!世尊亦如是說:『若見緣起便見法,若見法便見緣起。』所以者何?諸賢!世尊說五盛陰從因緣生,色盛陰,覺、想、行、識盛陰。諸賢!若內耳、鼻、舌、身、意處壞者,外法便不為光明所照,則無有念,意識不得生。諸賢!若內意處不壞者,外法便為光明所照而便有念,意識得生。諸賢!內意處及法,意識知外色法,是屬色陰。若有覺是覺陰,若有想是想陰,若有思是思陰,若有識是識陰,如是觀陰合會。諸賢!世尊亦如是說:『若見緣起便見法,若見法便見緣起。』所以者何?諸賢!世尊說五盛陰從因緣生,色盛陰,覺、想、行、識盛陰,彼厭此過去、未來、現在五盛陰,厭已便無慾,無慾已便解脫,解脫已便知解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。諸賢!是謂比丘一切大學。」
尊者舍梨子所說如是。彼諸比丘聞尊者舍梨子所說,歡喜奉行。
象跡喻經第十竟(三千八百六十七字)
(三一)中阿含舍梨子相應品分別聖諦經第十一(初一日誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「此是正行說法,謂四聖諦廣攝、廣觀、分別、發露、開仰、施設、顯示、趣向
『諸位賢者!世尊也這樣說過:『如果看到緣起,就看到了法;如果看到法,就看到了緣起。』為什麼呢?諸位賢者!世尊說五蘊是從因緣而生的,即色蘊、受、想、行、識蘊。諸位賢者!如果內在的耳、鼻、舌、身、意處壞了,外在的法就不會被光明照耀,那麼就不會有念頭,意識也不會產生。諸位賢者!如果內在的意處沒有壞,外在的法就會被光明照耀,於是就會有念頭,意識就會產生。諸位賢者!內在的意處和法,意識知道外在的色法,這屬於色蘊。如果有感受,就是受蘊;如果有想法,就是想蘊;如果有思慮,就是行蘊;如果有識別,就是識蘊,這樣觀察五蘊的聚合。諸位賢者!世尊也這樣說過:『如果看到緣起,就看到了法;如果看到法,就看到了緣起。』為什麼呢?諸位賢者!世尊說五蘊是從因緣而生的,即色蘊、受、想、行、識蘊,他們厭惡這過去、未來、現在的五蘊,厭惡之後就沒有慾望,沒有慾望之後就解脫了,解脫之後就知道自己解脫了,知道生死已盡,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,不再受後有,如實地知道真理。諸位賢者!這就是比丘們所應學習的一切大學問。』 尊者舍利弗所說的就是這樣。那些比丘聽了尊者舍利弗所說,歡喜地奉行。 《象跡喻經》第十完(三千八百六十七字) (三一)《中阿含經·舍利弗相應品·分別聖諦經》第十一(初一日誦) 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『這是正行說法,即四聖諦的廣泛攝取、廣泛觀察、分別、揭示、開顯、施設、顯示、引導。』
'Venerable ones! The World-Honored One has also said: 『If one sees dependent origination, one sees the Dharma; if one sees the Dharma, one sees dependent origination.』 Why is that? Venerable ones! The World-Honored One said that the five aggregates arise from conditions: the aggregate of form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Venerable ones! If the internal sense bases of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are broken, external phenomena will not be illuminated by light, then there will be no thought, and consciousness will not arise. Venerable ones! If the internal mind base is not broken, external phenomena will be illuminated by light, and then there will be thought, and consciousness will arise. Venerable ones! The internal mind base and phenomena, consciousness knowing external form, this belongs to the aggregate of form. If there is feeling, it is the aggregate of feeling; if there is perception, it is the aggregate of perception; if there is volition, it is the aggregate of mental formations; if there is consciousness, it is the aggregate of consciousness. Thus, one observes the coming together of the aggregates. Venerable ones! The World-Honored One has also said: 『If one sees dependent origination, one sees the Dharma; if one sees the Dharma, one sees dependent origination.』 Why is that? Venerable ones! The World-Honored One said that the five aggregates arise from conditions: the aggregate of form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. They are disgusted with these past, future, and present five aggregates. Having been disgusted, they have no desire. Having no desire, they are liberated. Having been liberated, they know they are liberated. They know that birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, there is no more rebirth, and they know the truth as it is. Venerable ones! This is what is called the entire great learning of a bhikkhu.』 That is what Venerable Sariputta said. Those bhikkhus, having heard what Venerable Sariputta said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The Elephant Footprint Simile Sutra, the tenth, is complete (3,867 words). (31) The Middle Length Discourses, Sariputta Samyutta, The Discourse on Distinguishing the Noble Truths, the eleventh (recited on the first day). Then, the World-Honored One addressed the bhikkhus: 『This is the correct way of teaching the Dharma, namely, the four noble truths, which are broadly encompassed, broadly observed, distinguished, revealed, disclosed, established, shown, and directed towards.』
。過去諸如來、無所著、等正覺,彼亦有此正行說法,謂四聖諦廣攝、廣觀、分別、發露、開仰、施設、顯示、趣向。未來諸如來、無所著、等正覺,彼亦有此正行說法,謂四聖諦廣攝、廣觀、分別、發露、開仰、施設、顯示、趣向。我今現如來、無所著、等正覺,亦有此正行說法,謂四聖諦廣攝、廣觀、分別、發露、開仰、施設、顯示、趣向。
「舍梨子比丘聰慧、速慧、捷慧、利慧、廣慧、深慧、出要慧、明達慧、辯才慧,舍梨子比丘成就實慧。所以者何?謂我略說此四聖諦,舍梨子比丘則能為他廣教、廣觀、分別、發露、開仰、施設、顯現、趣向。舍梨子比丘廣教、廣示此四聖諦,分別、發露、開仰、施設、顯現、趣向時,令無量人而得於觀,舍梨子比丘能以正見為導御也。目乾連比丘能令立於最上真際,謂究竟漏盡。舍梨子比丘生諸梵行,猶如生母,目連比丘長養諸梵行,猶如養母,是以諸梵行者,應奉事供養恭敬禮拜舍梨子、目乾連比丘。所以者何?舍梨子、目乾連比丘為諸梵行者求義及饒益,求安隱快樂。」爾時,世尊說如是已,即從坐起,入室燕坐。
於是,尊者舍梨子告諸比丘:「諸賢!世尊為我等出世,謂為他廣教、廣示此四聖諦,分別、發露、開仰、施設、顯現、趣向
現代漢語譯本:過去的諸佛,如來、無所著、等正覺,他們也有這種正確的修行說法,即四聖諦的廣泛攝取、廣泛觀察、分別、揭示、開顯、施設、顯示、引導。未來的諸佛,如來、無所著、等正覺,他們也有這種正確的修行說法,即四聖諦的廣泛攝取、廣泛觀察、分別、揭示、開顯、施設、顯示、引導。我現在作為如來、無所著、等正覺,也有這種正確的修行說法,即四聖諦的廣泛攝取、廣泛觀察、分別、揭示、開顯、施設、顯示、引導。 『舍利子比丘聰明、敏捷、快速、銳利、廣博、深刻、出離、明達、辯才,舍利子比丘成就真實的智慧。為什麼呢?因為我略說這四聖諦,舍利子比丘就能為他人廣泛教導、廣泛觀察、分別、揭示、開顯、施設、顯現、引導。舍利子比丘廣泛教導、廣泛展示這四聖諦,分別、揭示、開顯、施設、顯現、引導時,能使無數人獲得觀察,舍利子比丘能以正見作為引導。目犍連比丘能使人立於最上真際,即究竟的漏盡。舍利子比丘生出各種梵行,猶如生母,目犍連比丘長養各種梵行,猶如養母,因此,修習梵行的人,應當奉事供養恭敬禮拜舍利子、目犍連比丘。為什麼呢?因為舍利子、目犍連比丘為修習梵行的人尋求利益和饒益,尋求安穩快樂。』當時,世尊說完這些話后,就從座位起身,進入房間靜坐。 於是,尊者舍利子告訴眾比丘:『諸位賢者!世尊爲了我們出世,是爲了向他人廣泛教導、廣泛展示這四聖諦,分別、揭示、開顯、施設、顯現、引導。』
English version: The past Buddhas, Tathagatas, Arhats, Samyaksaṃbuddhas, also had this correct practice teaching, which is the comprehensive grasping, broad observation, differentiation, revelation, unfolding, establishment, manifestation, and guidance of the Four Noble Truths. The future Buddhas, Tathagatas, Arhats, Samyaksaṃbuddhas, will also have this correct practice teaching, which is the comprehensive grasping, broad observation, differentiation, revelation, unfolding, establishment, manifestation, and guidance of the Four Noble Truths. I, now as a Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksaṃbuddha, also have this correct practice teaching, which is the comprehensive grasping, broad observation, differentiation, revelation, unfolding, establishment, manifestation, and guidance of the Four Noble Truths. 『The Bhikkhu Sariputta is intelligent, quick-witted, swift, sharp, broad-minded, profound, with the wisdom of escape, clear understanding, and eloquence; the Bhikkhu Sariputta has achieved true wisdom. Why is that? Because when I briefly explain these Four Noble Truths, the Bhikkhu Sariputta can then extensively teach, broadly observe, differentiate, reveal, unfold, establish, manifest, and guide others. When the Bhikkhu Sariputta extensively teaches and broadly demonstrates these Four Noble Truths, differentiating, revealing, unfolding, establishing, manifesting, and guiding, he enables countless people to gain insight; the Bhikkhu Sariputta can guide with right view. The Bhikkhu Moggallana can establish people in the highest truth, which is the complete extinction of outflows. The Bhikkhu Sariputta gives birth to various holy practices, like a birth mother, and the Bhikkhu Moggallana nurtures various holy practices, like a nurturing mother. Therefore, those who practice the holy life should serve, offer to, respect, and bow to the Bhikkhus Sariputta and Moggallana. Why is that? Because the Bhikkhus Sariputta and Moggallana seek benefit and welfare, peace and happiness for those who practice the holy life.』 At that time, after the World Honored One had spoken these words, he rose from his seat and entered his chamber to meditate. Then, the Venerable Sariputta addressed the Bhikkhus: 『Friends! The World Honored One has appeared in the world for our sake, to extensively teach and broadly demonstrate these Four Noble Truths to others, differentiating, revealing, unfolding, establishing, manifesting, and guiding.』

English version: 'Friends! Beings truly exist in six realms: the realm of attachment to earth, water, fire, wind, space, and consciousness. These are separate and dispersed, unable to correspond with each other. They are separated, unable to gather, not adapting to each other, and not in harmony, thus causing suffering.

English version: Worthy ones! The reason for briefly speaking of the five aggregates as suffering is because of this. Worthy ones! The past is the noble truth of suffering, the future and present are also the noble truth of suffering. This is a true principle, not false, not deviating from reality, nor is it inverted. This is a true principle, carefully and truly in accordance with such truth, possessed by the noble ones, known by the noble ones, seen by the noble ones, understood by the noble ones, attained by the noble ones, and rightly awakened to by the noble ones. Therefore, it is said to be the noble truth of suffering. Worthy ones! What is the noble truth of the origin of suffering through attachment? It is that sentient beings truly have attachment to the six internal sense bases: the eye base, ear base, nose base, tongue base, body base, and mind base. If there is love, clinging, defilement, or attachment in these places, it is called origin. Worthy ones! A well-learned noble disciple knows that I understand this Dharma in this way, see it in this way, comprehend it in this way, observe it in this way, and awaken to it in this way. This is the noble truth of the origin of suffering through attachment, and one understands it in this way. How does one understand it? If someone loves their wife, children, slaves, servants, relatives, fields, houses, shops, and the wealth they produce, and works for these things, having love, clinging, defilement, and attachment, this is called origin. They know that this attachment is the noble truth of the origin of suffering. Similarly, with external things, they are more inclined to feel, perceive, think, contemplate, and love. Worthy ones! Sentient beings truly have attachment to the six elements: the earth element, water element, fire element, wind element, space element, and consciousness element.

「諸賢!云何愛滅苦滅聖諦?謂眾生實有愛內六處,眼處、耳、鼻、舌、身、意處,彼若解脫,不染不著、斷舍吐盡、無慾、滅、止沒者,是名苦滅。諸賢!多聞聖弟子知我如是知此法,如是見,如是了,如是視,如是覺,是謂愛滅苦滅聖諦,如是知之。云何知耶?若有不愛妻、子、奴婢、給使、眷屬、田地、屋宅、店肆、出息財物,不為所作業,彼若解脫,不染不著、斷舍吐盡、無慾、滅、止沒者,是名苦滅,彼知是愛滅苦滅聖諦,如是外處,更樂、覺、想、思、愛亦復如是。諸賢!眾生實有愛六界,地界,水、火、風、空、識界,彼若解脫,不染不著、斷舍吐盡、無慾、滅、止沒者,是名苦滅。諸賢!多聞聖弟子知我如是知此法,如是見,如是了,如是視,如是覺,是謂愛滅苦滅聖諦,如是知之。云何知耶?若有不愛妻、子、奴婢、給使、眷屬、田地、屋宅、店肆、出息財物,不為所作業,彼若解脫,不染不著,斷舍吐盡、無慾、滅、止沒者,是名苦滅,彼知是愛滅苦滅聖諦

English version: Venerable ones! The past is the noble truth of craving, arising, suffering, and arising; the future and the present are also the noble truth of craving, arising, suffering, and arising. The truth is not false, it does not deviate from reality, nor is it inverted. The truth is carefully examined and real, it conforms to such a truth, it is what the noble ones possess, what the noble ones know, what the noble ones see, what the noble ones understand, what the noble ones attain, what the noble ones are rightly awakened to. Therefore, it is said to be the noble truth of craving, arising, suffering, and arising. Venerable ones! What is the noble truth of the cessation of craving and the cessation of suffering? It refers to the fact that sentient beings truly have craving for the six internal sense bases: the eye base, ear base, nose base, tongue base, body base, and mind base. If they are liberated from these, not defiled, not attached, having abandoned, relinquished, and completely given up, without desire, extinguished, and ceased, then this is called the cessation of suffering. Venerable ones! A well-learned noble disciple knows that I know this Dharma in this way, see it in this way, understand it in this way, observe it in this way, and awaken to it in this way. This is the noble truth of the cessation of craving and the cessation of suffering, and one should understand it in this way. How does one understand it? If one does not crave for wife, children, slaves, servants, relatives, fields, houses, shops, or the wealth that arises from them, and does not act for these things, if they are liberated from these, not defiled, not attached, having abandoned, relinquished, and completely given up, without desire, extinguished, and ceased, then this is called the cessation of suffering. They know that this is the noble truth of the cessation of craving and the cessation of suffering. The same applies to external things such as pleasure, feeling, thought, consideration, and craving. Venerable ones! Sentient beings truly have craving for the six elements: the earth element, water element, fire element, wind element, space element, and consciousness element. If they are liberated from these, not defiled, not attached, having abandoned, relinquished, and completely given up, without desire, extinguished, and ceased, then this is called the cessation of suffering. Venerable ones! A well-learned noble disciple knows that I know this Dharma in this way, see it in this way, understand it in this way, observe it in this way, and awaken to it in this way.

He bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, stood to one side, and said: 'Venerable Sir! I have heard that when the World Honored One was the Buddha Kashyapa, he first aspired to the path of Buddhahood and practiced the Brahma-faring. If the World Honored One, when he was the Buddha Kashyapa, first aspired to the path of Buddhahood and practiced the Brahma-faring, I accept and uphold this as an unprecedented Dharma of the World Honored One.' 'I have heard that when the World Honored One was the Buddha Kashyapa, he first aspired to the path of Buddhahood and practiced the Brahma-faring, and was born in the Tushita Heaven. If the World Honored One, when he was the Buddha Kashyapa, first aspired to the path of Buddhahood and practiced the Brahma-faring, and was born in the Tushita Heaven, I accept and uphold this as an unprecedented Dharma of the World Honored One.' 'I have heard that when the World Honored One was the Buddha Kashyapa, he first aspired to the path of Buddhahood and practiced the Brahma-faring, and was born in the Tushita Heaven. The World Honored One, in his later birth, surpassed his previous birth in the Tushita Heaven in three aspects: lifespan, appearance, and reputation. Therefore, all the Tushita Heaven beings rejoiced and exclaimed, praising this heavenly son as most wondrous! Most extraordinary! He has great psychic powers, great virtue, great blessings, and great divine power!'
。所以者何?彼後來生以三事勝於前生兜瑟哆天者,天壽、天色、天譽。若世尊迦葉佛時始願佛道,行梵行,生兜瑟哆天,世尊後生以三事勝於前生兜瑟哆天者,天壽、天色、天譽。以此故,諸兜瑟哆天歡喜踴躍,嘆此天子甚奇!甚特!有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神。所以者何?彼後來生以三事勝於前生兜瑟哆天者,天壽、天色、天譽者,我受持是世尊未曾有法。
「我聞世尊在兜瑟哆天,于彼命終,知入母胎,是時震動一切天地,以大妙光普照世間,乃至幽隱諸闇冥處無有障蔽,謂此日月有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神,光所不照者,彼盡蒙耀,彼眾生者因此妙光各各生知,有奇特眾生生,有奇特眾生生。若世尊在兜瑟哆天,于彼命終,知入母胎,是時震動一切天地,以大妙光普照世間,乃至幽隱諸闇冥處無有障蔽,謂此日月有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神,光所不照者,彼盡蒙耀,彼眾生者因此妙光各各生知,有奇特眾生生,有奇特眾生生者,我受持是世尊未曾有法。

現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?因為後來的菩薩在三個方面勝過前世在兜率天的菩薩:天壽、天色和天譽。如果世尊迦葉佛時期發願成佛,修行梵行,往生兜率天,那麼世尊後來在三個方面勝過前世在兜率天的菩薩:天壽、天色和天譽。因此,兜率天的諸天都歡喜踴躍,讚歎這位天子非常奇特!非常殊勝!具有大如意足,具有大威德,具有大福祐,具有大威神。這是什麼原因呢?因為後來的菩薩在三個方面勝過前世在兜率天的菩薩:天壽、天色和天譽,我受持的是世尊未曾有過的法。 我聽說世尊在兜率天,在那裡命終,知道入母胎時,那時震動一切天地,以大妙光普照世間,乃至幽暗的角落都沒有遮蔽。這日月具有大如意足,具有大威德,具有大福祐,具有大威神,光芒所照不到的地方,都被照耀。那裡的眾生因此妙光各自知道,有奇特的眾生誕生了,有奇特的眾生誕生了。如果世尊在兜率天,在那裡命終,知道入母胎時,那時震動一切天地,以大妙光普照世間,乃至幽暗的角落都沒有遮蔽。這日月具有大如意足,具有大威德,具有大福祐,具有大威神,光芒所照不到的地方,都被照耀。那裡的眾生因此妙光各自知道,有奇特的眾生誕生了,有奇特的眾生誕生了,我受持的是世尊未曾有過的法。 我聽說世尊知道住在母胎中,依靠右脅。如果世尊知道住在母胎中依靠右脅,我受持的是世尊未曾有過的法。我聽說世尊舒展身體住在母胎中,如果世尊舒展身體住在母胎中,我受持的是世尊未曾有過的法。
English version: What is the reason for this? It is because the later bodhisattva surpasses the previous life in Tushita Heaven in three aspects: lifespan, appearance, and reputation. If the World Honored One made a vow to attain Buddhahood during the time of the Buddha Kasyapa, practiced pure conduct, and was born in Tushita Heaven, then the World Honored One later surpasses the previous life in Tushita Heaven in three aspects: lifespan, appearance, and reputation. Therefore, the devas of Tushita Heaven rejoice and exclaim, 'This heavenly son is very extraordinary! Very special! He has great magical powers, great virtue, great blessings, and great divine power.' What is the reason for this? It is because the later bodhisattva surpasses the previous life in Tushita Heaven in three aspects: lifespan, appearance, and reputation. I uphold the Dharma that the World Honored One has never had before. I heard that the World Honored One, in Tushita Heaven, upon passing away there, knew of entering the mother's womb. At that time, the entire world shook, and a great and wondrous light illuminated the world, even the darkest corners were without obstruction.

At that time, after midday, the shadows of all other trees had shifted, but the shadow of the Tala tree did not move, shading the body of the World Honored One. Then, Mahānāma of the Śākya clan, after midday, wandered to the great forest. Mahānāma, after midday, saw that the shadows of all other trees had shifted, but the shadow of the Tala tree did not move, shading the body of the World Honored One, and he thought: 'The Śramaṇa Gautama is truly amazing!

Stop! Do not scold! It will not break the bowl.' At that time, the monkey took the Buddha's bowl and went to a Sal tree, slowly climbed the tree, took honey from the Sal tree and filled the bowl, slowly came down from the tree, returned to where the Buddha was, and offered the honey bowl to the World-Honored One, but the World-Honored One did not accept it. At that time, the monkey retreated to one side, removed the insects from the honey, and after removing the insects, again offered the honey bowl to the Buddha, but the Buddha still did not accept it. The monkey retreated to one side again, took water and put it in the honey, and offered it to the Buddha again, and the World-Honored One accepted it. When the monkey saw that the Buddha had accepted the honey bowl, it rejoiced and leaped, walked backward, danced, and spun around before leaving.

At that time, there was a great thunderstorm with hail, which killed four oxen and two farmers. When they were being buried, the crowd was noisy, their voices loud, and the sound was shaking. Then, the World Honored One arose from his meditation in the late afternoon, came out of the divine chamber, and walked in the open air. At that time, one person in the crowd saw the World Honored One arise from his meditation in the late afternoon, come out of the divine chamber, and walk in the open air. He went to the Buddha, bowed in reverence, and followed the Buddha as he walked. The Buddha saw him behind him and asked him: 『For what reason is the crowd noisy, their voices loud, and the sound shaking?』 That person replied: 『World Honored One! Today there was a great thunderstorm with hail, which killed four oxen and two farmers. When they were being buried, the crowd was noisy, their voices loud, and the sound was shaking. World Honored One! Did you not hear the sound just now?』 The World Honored One replied: 『I did not hear the sound.』 He asked again: 『World Honored One! Were you sleeping just now?』 He replied: 『No.』
。』復問:『世尊!時寤不聞此大聲耶?』答曰:『如是。』爾時,彼人便作是念:『甚奇!甚特!極息至寂,如來、無所著、等正覺之所行。所以者何?寤而不聞此大音聲。』若世尊寤而不聞此大音聲者,我受持是世尊未曾有法。
「我聞世尊一時在郁鞞羅尼連然河邊,阿阇和羅尼拘類樹下初得佛道。爾時大雨,至於七日,高下悉滿,潢澇橫流,世尊于中露地經行,其處塵起。若世尊潢澇橫流,世尊于中露地經行,其處塵起者,我受持是世尊未曾有法。
「我聞魔王六年逐佛,求其長短,不能得便,厭已而還。若世尊魔王六年隨逐世尊,求其長短,不能得便,厭已而還者,我受持是世尊未曾有法。
「我聞世尊七年念身,常念不斷。若世尊七年念身,常念不斷者,我受持是世尊未曾有法。」
於是,世尊告曰:「阿難!汝從如來更受持此未曾有法。阿難!如來知覺生,知住、知滅,常知,無不知時。阿難!如來知思想生,知住、知滅,常知,無不知時。是故,阿難!汝從如來更受持此未曾有法。」
佛說如是。尊者阿難及諸比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行
現代漢語譯本:『又問:『世尊!當時您醒著沒有聽到這巨大的聲音嗎?』回答說:『是的。』當時,那個人就產生這樣的想法:『真是太神奇了!真是太特別了!達到極致的寂靜,這是如來、無所執著、等正覺所行的境界。為什麼呢?醒著卻聽不到這麼大的聲音。』如果世尊醒著卻聽不到這麼大的聲音,我將信受這是世尊未曾有過的法。 『我聽說世尊有一次在郁鞞羅尼連禪河邊,阿阇和羅尼拘類樹下初次證得佛道。當時下了大雨,連續七天,高低之處都被淹沒,積水橫流,世尊在其中露天行走,那裡卻揚起了塵土。如果世尊在積水橫流中露天行走,那裡卻揚起了塵土,我將信受這是世尊未曾有過的法。 『我聽說魔王六年跟隨佛陀,尋找他的弱點,卻不能得逞,厭倦了就回去了。如果世尊魔王六年跟隨世尊,尋找他的弱點,卻不能得逞,厭倦了就回去了,我將信受這是世尊未曾有過的法。 『我聽說世尊七年專注于身體,持續不斷地觀想。如果世尊七年專注于身體,持續不斷地觀想,我將信受這是世尊未曾有過的法。』 於是,世尊告訴阿難:『阿難!你從如來這裡再接受這些未曾有過的法。阿難!如來知道感覺的生起,知道感覺的住留,知道感覺的滅去,總是知道,沒有不知道的時候。阿難!如來知道思想的生起,知道思想的住留,知道思想的滅去,總是知道,沒有不知道的時候。所以,阿難!你從如來這裡再接受這些未曾有過的法。』 佛陀這樣說完。尊者阿難和眾比丘,聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。
English version: 'Again he asked: 『Venerable Sir, at that time, when you were awake, did you not hear this great sound?』 He replied: 『Yes.』 Then, that person had this thought: 『How marvelous! How extraordinary! Reaching the ultimate stillness and tranquility, this is the practice of the Tathagata, the unattached, the perfectly enlightened one. Why is that? Being awake, yet not hearing such a loud sound.』 If the Venerable One, being awake, did not hear this great sound, I will accept and uphold this unprecedented teaching of the Venerable One. 'I heard that the Venerable One once, by the banks of the Nairanjana River in Uruvela, under the Ajapala Nigrodha tree, first attained Buddhahood. At that time, there was heavy rain for seven days, and all the high and low places were flooded, with water flowing everywhere. The Venerable One walked in the open air, and dust arose there. If the Venerable One walked in the open air amidst the flood, and dust arose there, I will accept and uphold this unprecedented teaching of the Venerable One. 'I heard that Mara followed the Buddha for six years, seeking his weaknesses, but could not find any, and, weary, he returned. If the Venerable One was followed by Mara for six years, seeking his weaknesses, but could not find any, and, weary, he returned, I will accept and uphold this unprecedented teaching of the Venerable One. 'I heard that the Venerable One focused on the body for seven years, constantly and continuously contemplating. If the Venerable One focused on the body for seven years, constantly and continuously contemplating, I will accept and uphold this unprecedented teaching of the Venerable One.』 Then, the Venerable One said to Ananda: 『Ananda! You should receive from the Tathagata these unprecedented teachings. Ananda! The Tathagata knows the arising of feeling, knows the abiding of feeling, knows the ceasing of feeling, always knows, and there is no time when he does not know. Ananda! The Tathagata knows the arising of thought, knows the abiding of thought, knows the ceasing of thought, always knows, and there is no time when he does not know. Therefore, Ananda! You should receive from the Tathagata these unprecedented teachings.』 Thus spoke the Buddha. Venerable Ananda and all the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(三三)中阿含未曾有法品侍者經第二(初一日誦)
一時,佛游王舍城。
爾時,多識名德、上尊長老比丘、大弟子等,謂尊者拘鄰若、尊者阿攝貝、尊者跋提釋迦王、尊者摩訶男拘隸、尊者和破、尊者耶舍、尊者邠耨、尊者維摩羅、尊者伽和波提、尊者須陀耶、尊者舍梨子、尊者阿那律陀、尊者難提、尊者金毗羅、尊者隸婆哆、尊者大目乾連、尊者大迦葉、尊者大拘絺羅、尊者大周那、尊者大迦旃延、尊者邠耨加㝹寫長老、尊者耶舍行籌長老,如是比余多識名德、上尊、長老比丘、大弟子等,亦游王舍城,並皆近佛葉屋邊住。
是時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今年老,體轉衰弊,壽過垂訖,宜須侍者,汝等見為舉一侍者,令瞻視我可非不可,受我所說,不失其義。」
於是,尊者拘鄰若即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!我願奉侍可非不可,及受所說,不失其義。」
世尊告曰:「拘鄰若!汝自年老,體轉衰弊,壽過垂訖,汝亦自應須瞻視者。拘鄰若!汝還本坐。」於是,尊者拘鄰若即禮佛足,便還復坐
《未曾有法經》第一部分結束(共二千九百一十七字) (三三)《中阿含經·未曾有法品·侍者經》第二篇(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在王舍城游化。 當時,許多博學多識、德高望重、年長的比丘、大弟子們,如尊者拘鄰若、尊者阿攝貝、尊者跋提釋迦王、尊者摩訶男拘隸、尊者和破、尊者耶舍、尊者邠耨、尊者維摩羅、尊者伽和波提、尊者須陀耶、尊者舍梨子、尊者阿那律陀、尊者難提、尊者金毗羅、尊者隸婆哆、尊者大目乾連、尊者大迦葉、尊者大拘絺羅、尊者大周那、尊者大迦旃延、尊者邠耨加㝹寫長老、尊者耶舍行籌長老,以及其他許多博學多識、德高望重、年長的比丘、大弟子們,也都在王舍城游化,並且都住在佛陀葉屋附近。 這時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我今年老了,身體逐漸衰弱,壽命將盡,應該需要一位侍者,你們看看誰可以做我的侍者,能夠照顧我,接受我的教誨,並且不曲解我的意思。』 於是,尊者拘鄰若立即從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,雙手合十向佛陀行禮,說道:『世尊!我願意侍奉您,照顧您,接受您的教誨,並且不曲解您的意思。』 世尊告訴他說:『拘鄰若!你年紀也大了,身體也逐漸衰弱,壽命也將盡,你也應該需要被照顧。拘鄰若!你回到原來的座位吧。』於是,尊者拘鄰若就禮拜佛陀的腳,然後回到座位上。
The first part of the 'Unprecedented Dharma Sutra' concludes (2917 words in total). (33) The second chapter of the 'Attendant Sutra' in the 'Unprecedented Dharma Section' of the 'Middle Length Discourses' (recited on the first day). At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Rajagriha. At that time, many learned, virtuous, senior monks, and great disciples, such as Venerable Kondanna, Venerable Assaji, Venerable Bhaddiya Sakya King, Venerable Mahanama Kulika, Venerable Vappa, Venerable Yasa, Venerable Binnu, Venerable Vimala, Venerable Gavampati, Venerable Sudaya, Venerable Sariputta, Venerable Anuruddha, Venerable Nanda, Venerable Kimila, Venerable Revata, Venerable Maha Moggallana, Venerable Maha Kassapa, Venerable Maha Kotthita, Venerable Maha Cunda, Venerable Maha Kaccana, Venerable Binnu Kaccayana Elder, Venerable Yasa the Elder who keeps the count, and many other learned, virtuous, senior monks, and great disciples, were also traveling in Rajagriha, and they all resided near the Buddha's leaf hut. At that time, the World-Honored One said to the monks, 'I am now old, my body is weakening, and my life is nearing its end. I need an attendant. You should find someone who can be my attendant, who can look after me, receive my teachings, and not misinterpret my meaning.' Then, Venerable Kondanna immediately rose from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, clasped his hands together, and bowed to the Buddha, saying, 'World-Honored One! I am willing to serve you, care for you, receive your teachings, and not misinterpret your meaning.' The World-Honored One said to him, 'Kondanna! You are also old, your body is weakening, and your life is nearing its end. You also need to be cared for. Kondanna! Return to your seat.' Then, Venerable Kondanna bowed at the Buddha's feet and returned to his seat.
如是尊者阿攝貝、尊者跋提釋迦王、尊者摩訶男拘隸、尊者和破、尊者耶舍、尊者邠耨、尊者維摩羅、尊者伽和波提、尊者須陀耶、尊者舍梨子、尊者阿那律陀、尊者難提、尊者金毗羅、尊者隸婆哆、尊者大目乾連、尊者大迦葉、尊者大拘絺羅、尊者大周那、尊者大迦旃延、尊者邠耨加㝹寫長老。
尊者耶舍行籌長老即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛白曰:「世尊!我願奉侍可非不可,及受所說,不失其義。」
世尊告曰:「耶舍!汝自年老,體轉衰弊,壽過垂訖,汝亦自應須瞻視者。耶舍!汝還本坐。」於是,尊者耶舍即禮佛足,便還復坐。
爾時,尊者大目乾連在彼眾中,便作是念:「世尊欲求誰為侍者?意在何比丘,欲令瞻視可非不可,及受所說,不失其義?我寧可入如其像定,觀眾比丘心。」於是,尊者大目乾連即入如其像定,觀眾比丘心。尊者大目乾連即知世尊欲得賢者阿難以為侍者,意在阿難,欲令瞻視可非不可,及受所說,不失其義。於是,尊者大目乾連即從定起,白眾比丘曰:「諸賢知不?世尊欲得賢者阿難以為侍者,意在阿難,欲令瞻視可非不可,及受所說,不失其義。諸賢!我等今應共至賢者阿難所,勸喻令為世尊侍者
當時,有尊者阿攝貝、尊者跋提釋迦王、尊者摩訶男拘隸、尊者和破、尊者耶舍、尊者邠耨、尊者維摩羅、尊者伽和波提、尊者須陀耶、尊者舍梨子、尊者阿那律陀、尊者難提、尊者金毗羅、尊者隸婆哆、尊者大目乾連、尊者大迦葉、尊者大拘絺羅、尊者大周那、尊者大迦旃延、尊者邠耨加㝹寫長老。 尊者耶舍行籌長老隨即從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,合掌向佛稟告說:『世尊!我願意侍奉您,處理一切適宜與不適宜之事,並接受您的教誨,不遺漏其中的含義。』 世尊告訴他說:『耶舍!你年紀大了,身體也逐漸衰弱,壽命也快要終結了,你也應該需要別人來照顧了。耶舍!你還是回到自己的座位上吧。』於是,尊者耶舍向佛行禮,然後回到自己的座位上。 這時,尊者大目乾連在眾人之中,心中想道:『世尊想要找誰來做侍者呢?他的意願是哪位比丘,想要讓他來處理一切適宜與不適宜之事,並接受他的教誨,不遺漏其中的含義呢?我不如進入禪定,觀察眾比丘的心意。』於是,尊者大目乾連就進入禪定,觀察眾比丘的心意。尊者大目乾連知道世尊想要賢者阿難做侍者,他的意願是阿難,想要讓他來處理一切適宜與不適宜之事,並接受他的教誨,不遺漏其中的含義。於是,尊者大目乾連從禪定中起身,對眾比丘說:『各位賢者知道嗎?世尊想要賢者阿難做侍者,他的意願是阿難,想要讓他來處理一切適宜與不適宜之事,並接受他的教誨,不遺漏其中的含義。各位賢者!我們現在應該一起去賢者阿難那裡,勸說他做世尊的侍者。』
At that time, there were Venerable Asvaghosa, Venerable Bhadraka Sakya, Venerable Mahanama Koliya, Venerable Vappa, Venerable Yasa, Venerable Bhinuka, Venerable Vimala, Venerable Gavampati, Venerable Sudaya, Venerable Sariputra, Venerable Aniruddha, Venerable Nanda, Venerable Kimpila, Venerable Revata, Venerable Maha Moggallana, Venerable Maha Kassapa, Venerable Maha Kotthita, Venerable Maha Cunda, Venerable Maha Kaccana, and the elder Venerable Bhinuka Kasyapa. Then, the elder Venerable Yasa, who was in charge of the counting sticks, rose from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, and with his hands clasped, said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, I wish to serve you, attending to what is proper and improper, and receiving your teachings without losing their meaning.' The Buddha said to him: 'Yasa, you are old, your body is weakening, and your life is nearing its end. You should also be looked after by others. Yasa, return to your seat.' Then, Venerable Yasa bowed at the Buddha's feet and returned to his seat. At that time, Venerable Maha Moggallana, who was among the assembly, thought to himself: 'Whom does the Buddha wish to have as his attendant? Which bhikkhu does he intend to have attend to what is proper and improper, and receive his teachings without losing their meaning? I should enter into a meditative state and observe the minds of the bhikkhus.' Then, Venerable Maha Moggallana entered into a meditative state and observed the minds of the bhikkhus. Venerable Maha Moggallana knew that the Buddha wished to have the venerable Ananda as his attendant, that his intention was for Ananda to attend to what is proper and improper, and to receive his teachings without losing their meaning. Then, Venerable Maha Moggallana arose from his meditative state and said to the bhikkhus: 'Friends, do you know? The Buddha wishes to have the venerable Ananda as his attendant, that his intention is for Ananda to attend to what is proper and improper, and to receive his teachings without losing their meaning. Friends, we should now go together to the venerable Ananda and persuade him to be the Buddha's attendant.'
於是,尊者大目乾連及諸比丘共至尊者阿難所,共相問訊,卻坐一面。是時,尊者大目乾連坐已,語曰:「賢者阿難!汝今知不?佛欲得汝以為侍者,意在阿難,令瞻視我可非不可,受我所說,不失其義。阿難!猶村外不遠有樓閣臺觀,向東開窗,日出光照在於西壁,賢者阿難!世尊亦然,欲得賢者阿難以為侍者,意在阿難,令瞻視我可非不可,受我所說,不失其義。賢者阿難!汝今可為世尊侍者。」
尊者阿難白曰:「尊者大目乾連!我不堪任奉侍世尊。所以者何?諸佛世尊難可難侍謂為侍者。尊者大目乾連!猶如王大雄象,年滿六十,憍發力盛,牙足體具,難可難近謂為看視也。尊者大目乾連!如來、無所著、等正覺亦復如是,難可難近謂為侍者。尊者大目乾連!我以是故,不任侍者。」
尊者大目乾連復語曰:「賢者阿難!聽我說喻,智者聞喻,即解其義。賢者阿難!猶如優曇缽華,時生於世,賢者阿難!如來、無所著、等正覺亦復如是,時時出世。賢者阿難!汝可速為世尊侍者,瞿曇當得大果。」
尊者阿難復白曰:「尊者大目乾連!若世尊與我三愿者,我便然可為佛侍者。云何為三?我願不著佛新故衣,愿不食別請佛食,愿不非時見佛
於是,尊者大目犍連和眾比丘一同來到尊者阿難處,互相問候后,在一旁坐下。這時,尊者大目犍連坐定后說道:『賢者阿難!你現在知道嗎?佛陀想讓你做他的侍者,意思是想讓你觀察我所做所說是否恰當,接受我的教誨,不曲解其義。阿難!就像村外不遠處的樓閣臺榭,向東開窗,日出時陽光會照在西墻上一樣,賢者阿難!世尊也是如此,想讓你做他的侍者,意思是想讓你觀察我所做所說是否恰當,接受我的教誨,不曲解其義。賢者阿難!你現在可以做世尊的侍者了。』 尊者阿難回答說:『尊者大目犍連!我不能勝任侍奉世尊。為什麼呢?諸佛世尊難以侍奉,難以作為侍者。尊者大目犍連!就像一頭年滿六十歲、驕傲強壯、牙齒和四肢健全的雄象,難以接近和看護一樣。尊者大目犍連!如來、無所著、等正覺也是如此,難以接近和作為侍者。尊者大目犍連!因此,我不能勝任侍者。』 尊者大目犍連又說道:『賢者阿難!聽我說個比喻,智者聽了比喻,就能理解其中的含義。賢者阿難!就像優曇缽花,時常出現在世間一樣,賢者阿難!如來、無所著、等正覺也是如此,時常出現於世。賢者阿難!你可儘快做世尊的侍者,瞿曇會得到巨大的利益。』 尊者阿難又回答說:『尊者大目犍連!如果世尊答應我三個願望,我就願意做佛陀的侍者。哪三個願望呢?我希望不穿佛陀的新舊衣服,希望不吃佛陀單獨接受的供養,希望不在不適當的時間見佛陀。』
Then, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana and the other monks went together to the venerable Ānanda. After exchanging greetings, they sat down to one side. At that time, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, having sat down, said: 'Venerable Ānanda! Do you know now? The Buddha wishes for you to be his attendant, intending that Ānanda should observe whether my actions and words are proper or not, accept my teachings, and not misinterpret their meaning. Ānanda! Just as there is a pavilion or terrace not far outside the village, with a window facing east, and when the sun rises, its light shines on the west wall, venerable Ānanda! The World-Honored One is also like that, wishing for venerable Ānanda to be his attendant, intending that Ānanda should observe whether my actions and words are proper or not, accept my teachings, and not misinterpret their meaning. Venerable Ānanda! You may now become the attendant of the World-Honored One.' The venerable Ānanda replied: 'Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! I am not capable of serving the World-Honored One. Why is that? The Buddhas, the World-Honored Ones, are difficult to serve, difficult to be an attendant to. Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! Just like a great male elephant, sixty years old, proud and strong, with complete tusks and limbs, difficult to approach and care for. Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! The Tathāgata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, is also like that, difficult to approach and be an attendant to. Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! Therefore, I am not capable of being an attendant.' The venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana spoke again: 'Venerable Ānanda! Listen to my parable, a wise person, upon hearing the parable, will understand its meaning. Venerable Ānanda! Just like the Udumbara flower, which appears in the world from time to time, venerable Ānanda! The Tathāgata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, is also like that, appearing in the world from time to time. Venerable Ānanda! You should quickly become the attendant of the World-Honored One, and Gautama will obtain great benefits.' The venerable Ānanda replied again: 'Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If the World-Honored One grants me three wishes, then I will agree to be the Buddha's attendant. What are the three? I wish not to wear the Buddha's new or old clothes, I wish not to eat the food that the Buddha receives separately, and I wish not to see the Buddha at inappropriate times.'
。尊者大目乾連!若世尊與我此三愿者,如是我便為佛侍者。」
於是,尊者大目乾連勸尊者阿難為侍者已,即從坐起,繞尊者阿難,而便還去,往詣佛所,𥡳首禮足,卻坐一面,白曰:「世尊!我已勸喻賢者阿難為佛侍者。世尊!賢者阿難從佛求三愿。云何為三?愿不著佛新故衣,愿不食別請佛食,愿不非時見佛。『尊者大目乾連!若世尊與我此三愿者,如是我便為佛侍者。』」
世尊告曰:「大目乾連!阿難比丘聰明智慧,豫知當有譏論,或諸梵行作如是語:『阿難比丘為衣故奉侍世尊。』大目乾連!若阿難比丘聰明智慧,豫知當有譏論,或諸梵行作如是語:『阿難比丘為衣故奉侍世尊。』者,是謂阿難比丘未曾有法。大目乾連!阿難比丘聰明智慧,豫知當有譏論,或諸梵行作如是語:『阿難比丘為食故奉侍世尊。』大目乾連!若阿難比丘聰明智慧,豫知當有譏論,或諸梵行作如是語:『阿難比丘為食故奉侍世尊。』者,是謂阿難比丘未曾有法。大目乾連!阿難比丘善知時,善別時,知我是往見如來時,知我非往見如來時。知比丘眾、比丘尼眾是往見如來時,知比丘眾、比丘尼眾非往見如來時。知優婆塞眾、優婆私眾是往見如來時,知優婆塞眾、優婆私眾非往見如來時
現代漢語譯本:『尊者大目犍連!如果世尊答應我的這三個願望,我才願意做佛陀的侍者。』 於是,尊者大目犍連勸說尊者阿難擔任侍者后,就從座位上起身,繞著尊者阿難走了一圈,然後離開,前往佛陀所在之處,叩首禮拜佛足,退坐在一旁,稟告說:『世尊!我已經勸說賢者阿難擔任佛陀的侍者了。世尊!賢者阿難向佛陀請求三個願望。哪三個呢?愿不穿佛陀的新舊衣服,愿不吃佛陀單獨接受的供養,愿不在不適當的時間見佛陀。』尊者大目犍連!如果世尊答應我的這三個願望,我才願意做佛陀的侍者。』 世尊告訴說:『大目犍連!阿難比丘聰明有智慧,預先知道會有譏諷議論,或者其他修行人會這樣說:『阿難比丘是爲了衣服才侍奉世尊的。』大目犍連!如果阿難比丘聰明有智慧,預先知道會有譏諷議論,或者其他修行人會這樣說:『阿難比丘是爲了衣服才侍奉世尊的。』,這說明阿難比丘具有不曾有過的品質。大目犍連!阿難比丘聰明有智慧,預先知道會有譏諷議論,或者其他修行人會這樣說:『阿難比丘是爲了食物才侍奉世尊的。』大目犍連!如果阿難比丘聰明有智慧,預先知道會有譏諷議論,或者其他修行人會這樣說:『阿難比丘是爲了食物才侍奉世尊的。』,這說明阿難比丘具有不曾有過的品質。大目犍連!阿難比丘善於瞭解時間,善於分辨時間,知道什麼時候是去見如來的時間,知道什麼時候不是去見如來的時間。知道比丘眾、比丘尼眾什麼時候是去見如來的時間,知道比丘眾、比丘尼眾什麼時候不是去見如來的時間。知道優婆塞眾、優婆夷眾什麼時候是去見如來的時間,知道優婆塞眾、優婆夷眾什麼時候不是去見如來的時間。
English version: 『Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If the World-Honored One grants me these three wishes, then I will become the Buddha's attendant.』 Then, after Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana had persuaded Venerable Ānanda to be the attendant, he rose from his seat, circled Venerable Ānanda, and then departed, going to where the Buddha was. He bowed his head and paid homage at the Buddha's feet, then sat down to one side and reported: 『World-Honored One! I have already persuaded the worthy Ānanda to be the Buddha's attendant. World-Honored One! The worthy Ānanda has requested three wishes from the Buddha. What are the three? He wishes not to wear the Buddha's new or old robes, wishes not to eat food that the Buddha has received separately, and wishes not to see the Buddha at inappropriate times. 『Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If the World-Honored One grants me these three wishes, then I will become the Buddha's attendant.』 The World-Honored One said: 『Mahāmaudgalyāyana! The bhikkhu Ānanda is intelligent and wise, and foresees that there will be criticism, or that other practitioners will say: 『The bhikkhu Ānanda serves the World-Honored One for the sake of robes.』 Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If the bhikkhu Ānanda is intelligent and wise, and foresees that there will be criticism, or that other practitioners will say: 『The bhikkhu Ānanda serves the World-Honored One for the sake of robes,』 then this shows that the bhikkhu Ānanda has qualities that are unprecedented. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! The bhikkhu Ānanda is intelligent and wise, and foresees that there will be criticism, or that other practitioners will say: 『The bhikkhu Ānanda serves the World-Honored One for the sake of food.』 Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If the bhikkhu Ānanda is intelligent and wise, and foresees that there will be criticism, or that other practitioners will say: 『The bhikkhu Ānanda serves the World-Honored One for the sake of food,』 then this shows that the bhikkhu Ānanda has qualities that are unprecedented. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! The bhikkhu Ānanda is good at understanding time, good at distinguishing time, knowing when it is the time to go see the Tathāgata, and knowing when it is not the time to go see the Tathāgata. He knows when it is the time for the community of bhikkhus and bhikkhunis to go see the Tathāgata, and knows when it is not the time for the community of bhikkhus and bhikkhunis to go see the Tathāgata. He knows when it is the time for the community of upāsakas and upāsikās to go see the Tathāgata, and knows when it is not the time for the community of upāsakas and upāsikās to go see the Tathāgata.』
。知眾多異學沙門、梵志是往見如來時,知眾多異學沙門、梵志非往見如來時。知此眾多異學沙門、梵志能與如來共論,知此眾多異學沙門、梵志不能與如來共論。知此食啖含消,如來食已,安隱饒益,知此食啖含消,如來食已,不安隱饒益。知此食啖含消,如來食已,得辯才說法,知此食啖含消,如來食已,不得辯才說法。是謂阿難比丘未曾有法。

English version: He knows when many ascetics and Brahmins of other sects are coming to see the Tathagata, and he knows when many ascetics and Brahmins of other sects are not coming to see the Tathagata. He knows which of these ascetics and Brahmins of other sects are capable of debating with the Tathagata, and which are not. He knows which food, when consumed and digested, brings the Tathagata peace and benefit, and which food, when consumed and digested, does not bring the Tathagata peace and benefit. He knows which food, when consumed and digested, enables the Tathagata to preach with eloquence, and which food, when consumed and digested, does not enable the Tathagata to preach with eloquence. This is a wonderful and unprecedented quality of the bhikkhu Ananda. Mahamoggallana! Although the bhikkhu Ananda does not have the power of knowing others' minds, he knows well when the Tathagata rises from meditation in the evening, and he tells people beforehand, 'Today the Tathagata will abide in such and such a way, enjoying the bliss of the present moment,' and it is exactly as he says, without any deviation. This is a wonderful and unprecedented quality of the bhikkhu Ananda. The venerable Ananda says this: 'Friends, I have attended upon the Buddha for twenty-five years, and if I were to develop conceit because of this, there would be no such sign.' If the venerable Ananda says this, this is a wonderful and unprecedented quality of the venerable Ananda. The venerable Ananda also says this: 'Friends, I have attended upon the Buddha for twenty-five years, and I have never seen the Buddha at an inappropriate time.' If the venerable Ananda says this, this is a wonderful and unprecedented quality of the venerable Ananda. The venerable Ananda also says this: 'Friends, I have attended upon the Buddha for twenty-five years, and I have never been rebuked by the Buddha, except for one instance, and that was for the sake of others.' If the venerable Ananda says this, this is a wonderful and unprecedented quality of the venerable Ananda. The venerable Ananda also says this: 'Friends, I have received eighty-four thousand teachings from the Tathagata, and I have retained them without forgetting, and if I were to develop conceit because of this, there would be no such sign.' If the venerable Ananda says this, this is a wonderful and unprecedented quality of the venerable Ananda.

Venerable Ananda replied: 'Venerable Sariputra! I am still a learner, and have not yet abandoned desire.' Venerable Sariputra then said: 'Venerable Ananda!

The World Honored One replied: 'Ananda! The king of beasts, the lion, goes out to forage for food during the day, and after foraging, it enters its cave. If it wants to sleep, it will place its feet together, stretch its tail behind it, and lie on its right side. After the night has passed, in the morning, it will look back at its body.

English version: 'If it wakes up, it comes out of its cave, and after coming out, it frequently groans. After frequently groaning, it observes its own body. After observing its body, it looks around in all directions. After looking around, it roars three times. After roaring three times, it goes to seek food. This is how the king of beasts, the lion, sleeps.' 'Venerable Ananda asked: 'Venerable Sir, this is how the king of beasts, the lion, sleeps. How should a bhikkhu sleep?' 'The Blessed One replied: 'Ananda, if a bhikkhu dwells near a village, after spending the night, at dawn, he puts on his robes, takes his bowl, and enters the village for alms. He is careful in protecting his body, guarding and controlling his senses, and maintains mindfulness. After finishing his alms round in the village, he puts away his robes and bowl, washes his hands and feet, places his sitting cloth on his shoulder, and goes to a quiet place, either under a tree, or in an empty room, or walks back and forth, or sits in meditation, clearing away the hindrances in his mind. During the day, he either walks back and forth or sits in meditation, clearing away the hindrances in his mind. Then, in the first watch of the night, he either walks back and forth or sits in meditation, clearing away the hindrances in his mind. After clearing away the hindrances in his mind in the first watch of the night, in the middle watch of the night, he enters his room to sleep, spreads his four-layered outer robe on the bed, folds his upper robe to use as a pillow, lies down on his right side, with his feet overlapping, his mind focused on the perception of light, maintaining mindfulness and clear comprehension, always thinking of getting up. In the last watch of the night, he quickly gets up from sleep, and either walks back and forth or sits in meditation, clearing away the hindrances in his mind. This is how a bhikkhu sleeps like a lion.' Venerable Ananda said: 'Venerable Sir, this is how a bhikkhu sleeps like a lion.' Venerable Ananda further said: 'Friends, the Blessed One taught me the lion's way of sleeping, and since then, I have never slept on my left side.' If Venerable Ananda said this, it would be a practice that Venerable Ananda had never done before. Furthermore, at one time, the Blessed One was traveling in Kushinagar, staying in the Sal grove of the Malla people of Hatthi.
。爾時,世尊最後欲取般涅槃時告曰:『阿難!汝往至雙娑羅樹間,可為如來北首敷床,如來中夜當般涅槃。』

「於是,世尊將尊者阿難至雙樹間,四疊優哆邏僧以敷床上,襞僧伽梨作枕,右脅而臥,足足相累,最後般涅槃時,尊者阿難執拂侍佛,以手抆淚而作是念:『本有諸方比丘眾,來欲見世尊供養禮事,皆得隨時奉見世尊供養禮事,若聞世尊般涅槃已,便不復來奉見世尊供養禮事,我亦不得隨時見佛供養禮事。』
「於是,世尊問諸比丘:『阿難比丘今在何處?』時,諸比丘白曰:『世尊!尊者阿難執拂侍佛,以手抆淚而作是念:「本有諸方比丘眾,來欲見世尊供養禮事,皆得隨時奉見世尊供養禮事,若聞世尊般涅槃已,便不復來奉見世尊供養禮事,我亦不得隨時見佛供養禮事。」』

現代漢語譯本:當時,世尊在最後將要進入涅槃時,告訴阿難說:『阿難!你到雙娑羅樹之間,為如來鋪設一個頭朝北的床鋪,如來將在半夜進入涅槃。』 尊者阿難接受了如來的教導,立即前往雙樹之間,為如來鋪設了一個頭朝北的床鋪。鋪設完畢后,他回到佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,然後退到一旁站立,稟告說:『世尊!我已經為如來在雙樹之間鋪設了頭朝北的床鋪,唯愿世尊自己知道時機。』 於是,世尊帶領尊者阿難來到雙樹之間,將四層優哆邏僧鋪在床上,把僧伽梨疊起來作為枕頭,然後右脅而臥,雙腳交疊。在最後進入涅槃時,尊者阿難拿著拂塵侍奉佛陀,用手擦拭眼淚,心中想道:『本來各方的比丘眾,前來想要見世尊,供養禮拜,都能隨時見到世尊,供養禮拜。如果聽說世尊已經涅槃,他們便不會再來見世尊,供養禮拜了,我也不能再隨時見到佛陀,供養禮拜了。』 這時,世尊問眾比丘:『阿難比丘現在在哪裡?』眾比丘回答說:『世尊!尊者阿難拿著拂塵侍奉佛陀,用手擦拭眼淚,心中想著:「本來各方的比丘眾,前來想要見世尊,供養禮拜,都能隨時見到世尊,供養禮拜。如果聽說世尊已經涅槃,他們便不會再來見世尊,供養禮拜了,我也不能再隨時見到佛陀,供養禮拜了。」』 於是,世尊告訴阿難說:『阿難!你不要哭泣,也不要憂愁。為什麼呢?阿難!你侍奉我,身行慈愛,口、意行慈愛,始終沒有二心,安樂無量,無邊無際。阿難!如果過去世,諸如來、無所著、等正覺有侍奉者,沒有誰能勝過你。』
English version: At that time, when the World-Honored One was about to enter final Nirvana, he told Ananda: 'Ananda! Go to the space between the twin Sala trees and prepare a bed for the Tathagata with its head facing north. The Tathagata will enter Nirvana in the middle of the night.' Venerable Ananda, receiving the Tathagata's instruction, immediately went to the twin trees and prepared a bed for the Tathagata with its head facing north. Having finished preparing the bed, he returned to the Buddha, bowed his head to the ground in reverence, and stood to one side, reporting: 'World-Honored One! I have prepared a bed for the Tathagata between the twin trees with its head facing north. May the World-Honored One know the appropriate time.' Then, the World-Honored One led Venerable Ananda to the twin trees, spread four layers of Uttarasanga robes on the bed, folded the Sanghati robe as a pillow, and lay down on his right side, with his feet overlapping. As he was about to enter final Nirvana, Venerable Ananda held a whisk to attend to the Buddha, wiping away tears with his hand, and thought: 'Originally, monks from all directions came to see the World-Honored One, to make offerings and pay respects, and they could see the World-Honored One and make offerings and pay respects at any time. If they hear that the World-Honored One has entered Nirvana, they will no longer come to see the World-Honored One, make offerings and pay respects, and I will also no longer be able to see the Buddha and make offerings and pay respects at any time.' At that time, the World-Honored One asked the monks: 'Where is the monk Ananda now?' The monks replied: 'World-Honored One! Venerable Ananda is holding a whisk to attend to the Buddha, wiping away tears with his hand, and thinking: 「Originally, monks from all directions came to see the World-Honored One, to make offerings and pay respects, and they could see the World-Honored One and make offerings and pay respects at any time. If they hear that the World-Honored One has entered Nirvana, they will no longer come to see the World-Honored One, make offerings and pay respects, and I will also no longer be able to see the Buddha and make offerings and pay respects at any time.」' Then, the World-Honored One said to Ananda: 'Ananda! Do not weep, nor be sorrowful. Why is that? Ananda! You have served me with loving-kindness in body, speech, and mind, without any duality, with immeasurable, boundless, and limitless peace. Ananda! If in the past, the Tathagatas, the Arhats, the Perfectly Enlightened Ones had attendants, none were superior to you.'
。阿難!若未來諸如來、無所著、等正覺有奉侍者,亦無勝汝。阿難!我今現在如來、無所著、等正覺,若有侍者,亦無勝汝。所以者何?阿難善知時,善別時,知我是往見如來時,知我非往見如來時。知比丘眾、比丘尼眾是往見如來時。知比丘眾、比丘尼眾非往見如來時。知優婆塞眾、優婆私眾是往見如來時。知優婆塞眾、優婆私眾非往見如來時。知眾多異學沙門、梵志是往見如來時。知眾多異學沙門、梵志非往見如來時。知此眾多異學沙門、梵志能與如來共論。知此眾多異學沙門、梵志不能與如來共論。知此食啖含消,如來食已,得安隱饒益。知此食啖含消,如來食已,不得安隱饒益。知此食啖含消,如來食已,得辯才說法。知此食啖含消,如來食已,不得辯才說法。複次,阿難!汝雖無他心智,而逆知如來晡時從燕坐起,預為人說,今日如來行如是,如是現法樂居,審如所說,諦無有異。』
「於是,世尊欲令尊者阿難喜,告諸比丘:『轉輪聖王得四未曾有法。云何為四?剎利眾往見轉輪王,若默然時,見已歡喜,若所說時,聞已歡喜。梵志眾、居士眾、沙門眾往見轉輪王,若默然時,見已歡喜,若所說時,聞已歡喜。阿難比丘亦復如是,得四未曾有法
現代漢語譯本:阿難!如果未來有諸佛、阿羅漢、正等覺需要侍奉者,也沒有人能勝過你。阿難!我現在是如來、阿羅漢、正等覺,如果有侍奉者,也沒有人能勝過你。這是為什麼呢?阿難你善於瞭解時機,善於分辨時機,知道我什麼時候應該去見如來,知道我什麼時候不應該去見如來。知道比丘眾、比丘尼眾什麼時候應該來見如來,知道比丘眾、比丘尼眾什麼時候不應該來見如來。知道優婆塞眾、優婆夷眾什麼時候應該來見如來,知道優婆塞眾、優婆夷眾什麼時候不應該來見如來。知道眾多外道沙門、婆羅門什麼時候應該來見如來,知道眾多外道沙門、婆羅門什麼時候不應該來見如來。知道這些外道沙門、婆羅門能與如來辯論,知道這些外道沙門、婆羅門不能與如來辯論。知道這種食物吃了,如來吃了之後,能得到安穩和利益。知道這種食物吃了,如來吃了之後,不能得到安穩和利益。知道這種食物吃了,如來吃了之後,能得到辯才說法。知道這種食物吃了,如來吃了之後,不能得到辯才說法。再者,阿難!你雖然沒有他心通,卻能預先知道如來傍晚從禪定中起來,預先告訴別人,今天如來會這樣行事,這樣安住于現法樂,確實如你所說,真實不虛。 於是,世尊爲了讓尊者阿難高興,告訴眾比丘:『轉輪聖王有四種未曾有法。哪四種呢?剎帝利眾去見轉輪王,如果他沉默不語,見到他後會歡喜;如果他說話,聽到他說話後會歡喜。婆羅門眾、居士眾、沙門眾去見轉輪王,如果他沉默不語,見到他後會歡喜;如果他說話,聽到他說話後會歡喜。阿難比丘也是這樣,有四種未曾有法。』
English version: 'Ananda, if in the future there are Tathagatas, Arhats, Perfectly Enlightened Ones who need attendants, none will surpass you. Ananda, I, the present Tathagata, Arhat, Perfectly Enlightened One, if I have an attendant, none will surpass you. Why is that? Ananda, you are skilled in knowing the right time, skilled in discerning the right time, knowing when I should go to see the Tathagata, and knowing when I should not go to see the Tathagata. You know when the Bhikkhu Sangha and Bhikkhuni Sangha should come to see the Tathagata, and when they should not come to see the Tathagata. You know when the Upasaka Sangha and Upasika Sangha should come to see the Tathagata, and when they should not come to see the Tathagata. You know when many other sect ascetics and Brahmins should come to see the Tathagata, and when they should not come to see the Tathagata. You know which of these other sect ascetics and Brahmins can debate with the Tathagata, and which cannot debate with the Tathagata. You know which food, when eaten by the Tathagata, will bring peace and benefit. You know which food, when eaten by the Tathagata, will not bring peace and benefit. You know which food, when eaten by the Tathagata, will bring eloquence in teaching the Dharma. You know which food, when eaten by the Tathagata, will not bring eloquence in teaching the Dharma. Furthermore, Ananda, although you do not have the power of knowing others' minds, you can foresee that the Tathagata will rise from meditation in the evening, and you tell others beforehand, 'Today the Tathagata will act in this way, will abide in this way in the present-moment bliss,' and it is exactly as you said, truly without any difference.' Then, the World Honored One, wishing to please the Venerable Ananda, told the Bhikkhus: 'A Wheel-Turning Monarch possesses four unprecedented qualities. What are the four? When the Kshatriya assembly goes to see the Wheel-Turning Monarch, if he is silent, they are pleased upon seeing him; if he speaks, they are pleased upon hearing him. When the Brahmin assembly, the householder assembly, and the ascetic assembly go to see the Wheel-Turning Monarch, if he is silent, they are pleased upon seeing him; if he speaks, they are pleased upon hearing him. The Bhikkhu Ananda is also like this, possessing four unprecedented qualities.'
。云何為四?比丘眾往見阿難,若默然時,見已歡喜,若所說時,聞已歡喜。比丘尼眾、優婆塞眾、優婆私眾往見阿難,若默然時,見已歡喜,若所說時,聞已歡喜。』
「複次,阿難為眾說法,有四未曾有。云何為四?阿難比丘為比丘眾至心說法,非不至心。彼比丘眾亦作是念:『愿尊者阿難常說法,莫令中止。』彼比丘眾聞尊者阿難說法,終無厭足,然阿難比丘自默然住。為比丘尼眾、優婆塞眾、優婆私眾至心說法,非不至心。優婆私眾亦作是念:『愿尊者阿難常說法,莫令中止。』優婆私眾聞尊者阿難說法,終無厭足,然阿難比丘自默然住。
「複次,一時,佛般涅槃后不久,尊者阿難游于金剛,住金剛村中。是時,尊者阿難無量百千眾前後圍繞而為說法,於是,尊者金剛子亦在眾中,尊者金剛子心作是念:『此尊者阿難,故是學人,未離欲耶?我寧可入如其像定,以如其像定,觀尊者阿難心。』於是,尊者金剛子便入如其像定,以如其像定觀尊者阿難心,尊者金剛子即知尊者阿難,故是學人而未離欲。
「於是,尊者金剛子從三昧起,向尊者阿難而說頌曰:
「『山林靜思惟, 涅槃令入心, 瞿曇禪無亂, 不久息跡證
現代漢語譯本:什麼是四種情況呢?比丘僧眾去拜見阿難,當他沉默不語時,見到他會感到歡喜;當他說話時,聽到他說話會感到歡喜。比丘尼僧眾、優婆塞僧眾、優婆夷僧眾去拜見阿難,當他沉默不語時,見到他會感到歡喜;當他說話時,聽到他說話會感到歡喜。 再者,阿難為大眾說法,有四種前所未有的情況。什麼是四種情況呢?阿難比丘為比丘僧眾全心全意地說法,並非不盡心。那些比丘僧眾也這樣想:『愿尊者阿難常常說法,不要停止。』那些比丘僧眾聽尊者阿難說法,始終沒有厭倦,然而阿難比丘自己卻保持沉默。他為比丘尼僧眾、優婆塞僧眾、優婆夷僧眾全心全意地說法,並非不盡心。優婆夷僧眾也這樣想:『愿尊者阿難常常說法,不要停止。』優婆夷僧眾聽尊者阿難說法,始終沒有厭倦,然而阿難比丘自己卻保持沉默。 再者,有一次,佛陀般涅槃后不久,尊者阿難在金剛遊歷,住在金剛村中。當時,尊者阿難被無數百千大眾前後圍繞著為他們說法,這時,尊者金剛子也在人群中,尊者金剛子心裡想:『這位尊者阿難,仍然是學人,還沒有斷除慾望嗎?我寧可進入如其像定,用如其像定來觀察尊者阿難的心。』於是,尊者金剛子便進入如其像定,用如其像定觀察尊者阿難的心,尊者金剛子立刻知道尊者阿難,仍然是學人而沒有斷除慾望。 於是,尊者金剛子從禪定中起身,向尊者阿難說了偈頌: 『在山林中靜思,涅槃令心向往,瞿曇的禪定沒有混亂,不久將息滅煩惱證得涅槃。』
English version: What are the four? When the monks go to see Ananda, they are pleased when he is silent, and they are pleased when they hear him speak. When the nuns, the male lay followers, and the female lay followers go to see Ananda, they are pleased when he is silent, and they are pleased when they hear him speak. Furthermore, when Ananda teaches the Dharma to the assembly, there are four unprecedented things. What are the four? When the monk Ananda teaches the Dharma to the monks with all his heart, not without sincerity, those monks also think: 『May the venerable Ananda always teach the Dharma, and not stop.』 Those monks never tire of hearing the venerable Ananda teach the Dharma, yet the monk Ananda himself remains silent. He teaches the Dharma to the nuns, the male lay followers, and the female lay followers with all his heart, not without sincerity. The female lay followers also think: 『May the venerable Ananda always teach the Dharma, and not stop.』 The female lay followers never tire of hearing the venerable Ananda teach the Dharma, yet the monk Ananda himself remains silent. Furthermore, once, not long after the Buddha's Parinirvana, the venerable Ananda was traveling in Vajra, staying in the village of Vajra. At that time, the venerable Ananda was surrounded by countless hundreds and thousands of people, teaching them the Dharma. Then, the venerable Vajraputra was also in the crowd. The venerable Vajraputra thought: 『Is this venerable Ananda still a learner, not yet free from desire? I would rather enter the Samadhi of Suchness, and use the Samadhi of Suchness to observe the mind of the venerable Ananda.』 Then, the venerable Vajraputra entered the Samadhi of Suchness, and used the Samadhi of Suchness to observe the mind of the venerable Ananda. The venerable Vajraputra immediately knew that the venerable Ananda was still a learner and had not yet freed himself from desire. Then, the venerable Vajraputra arose from Samadhi and spoke a verse to the venerable Ananda: 『Meditating in the forest, Nirvana draws the heart, Gautama's meditation is without confusion, soon the traces of suffering will cease and Nirvana will be attained.』
「於是,尊者阿難受尊者金剛子教,離眾獨行,精進無亂,彼離眾獨行,精進無亂,族姓子所為,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,唯無上梵行訖。彼即于現法自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。尊者阿難知法已,乃至得阿羅訶,尊者阿難作是說:『諸賢!我坐床上,下頭未至枕頃,便斷一切漏,得心解脫。』若尊者阿難作此說,是謂尊者阿難未曾有法。
「尊者阿難復作是說:『諸賢!我當結加趺坐而般涅槃。』尊者阿難便結加趺坐而般涅槃。若尊者阿難結加趺坐而般涅槃,是謂尊者阿難未曾有法。」

(三四)中阿含未曾有法品薄拘羅經第三(初一日誦)
一時,佛般涅槃后不久,尊者薄拘羅游王舍城,在竹林加蘭哆園。
爾時,有一異學,是尊者薄拘羅未出家時親善朋友,中后仿佯,往詣尊者薄拘羅所,共相問訊,卻坐一面,異學曰:「賢者薄拘羅!我欲有所問,為見聽不?」
尊者薄拘羅答曰:「異學!隨汝所問,聞已當思
現代漢語譯本:'於是,阿難尊者接受金剛子尊者的教導,離開大眾獨自修行,精進不懈,沒有散亂。他離開大眾獨自修行,精進不懈,完成了族姓子所應為之事,剃除了鬚髮,穿上了袈裟,以堅定的信念,捨棄了家庭,過著無家可歸的修行生活,最終完成了無上的梵行。他當下便能自知自覺,親自證悟併成就,了知自己已生盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不再受後有,如實知曉真諦。阿難尊者在知法后,乃至證得阿羅漢果位。阿難尊者曾這樣說:『諸位賢者!我坐在床上,頭還沒碰到枕頭,就斷除了一切煩惱,獲得了心的解脫。』如果阿難尊者這樣說,這便是阿難尊者未曾有過的功德。' 現代漢語譯本:'阿難尊者又說:『諸位賢者!我將結跏趺坐而入涅槃。』阿難尊者便結跏趺坐而入涅槃。如果阿難尊者結跏趺坐而入涅槃,這便是阿難尊者未曾有過的功德。' 現代漢語譯本:佛陀如此說道。那些比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 現代漢語譯本:侍者經第二部分結束(四千三百九十九字) 現代漢語譯本:(三四)《中阿含經·未曾有法品·薄拘羅經》第三(初一日誦) 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀涅槃后不久,薄拘羅尊者在王舍城竹林迦蘭陀園游化。 現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位外道,是薄拘羅尊者未出家時親近的朋友,午後閑逛,來到薄拘羅尊者所在之處,互相問候后,坐在一旁。外道說:『賢者薄拘羅!我有些問題想請教,您願意聽嗎?』 現代漢語譯本:薄拘羅尊者回答說:『外道!你儘管問,聽后我會思考。』
English version: 'Then, Venerable Ananda, having been instructed by Venerable Vajrapani, departed from the assembly and practiced alone, diligently and without distraction. He, having departed from the assembly and practiced alone, diligently and without distraction, accomplished what a clansman should do, having shaved his hair and beard, donned the monastic robes, with firm faith, having left home, gone forth from home, and practiced the path, finally completing the unsurpassed holy life. He then, in this very life, knew for himself, realized for himself, and having attained it, abided, knowing that birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, there is no more coming to be, knowing this as it truly is. Venerable Ananda, having known the Dharma, even attained Arhatship. Venerable Ananda said this: 『Friends! While I was sitting on my bed, before my head even touched the pillow, I eradicated all defilements and attained liberation of mind.』 If Venerable Ananda said this, this is a previously unheard-of quality of Venerable Ananda.' English version: 'Venerable Ananda further said: 『Friends! I will sit cross-legged and enter Parinirvana.』 Venerable Ananda then sat cross-legged and entered Parinirvana. If Venerable Ananda sat cross-legged and entered Parinirvana, this is a previously unheard-of quality of Venerable Ananda.' English version: Thus spoke the Buddha. Those monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. English version: The second section of the Attendant Sutra ends (4399 words). English version: (34) The Third Bakula Sutra of the Unprecedented Qualities Section of the Middle Length Discourses (to be recited on the first day). English version: At one time, not long after the Buddha's Parinirvana, Venerable Bakula was wandering in Rajagriha, in the Bamboo Grove, Kalandaka Garden. English version: At that time, there was a heretic, a close friend of Venerable Bakula from before he went forth, who, in the afternoon, wandered to where Venerable Bakula was, and after exchanging greetings, sat down to one side. The heretic said: 『Venerable Bakula! I have some questions I would like to ask. Would you be willing to listen?』 English version: Venerable Bakula replied: 『Heretic! Ask whatever you wish. Having heard it, I will reflect on it.』
異學問曰:「賢者薄拘羅!於此正法、律中學道幾時?」
尊者薄拘羅答曰:「異學!我於此正法、律中學道已來八十年。」
異學復問曰:「賢者薄拘羅!汝於此正法律中學道已來八十年,頗憶曾行淫慾事耶?」
尊者薄拘羅語異學曰:「汝莫作是問,更問餘事。『賢者薄拘羅!於此正法、律中學道已來八十年,頗憶曾起欲想耶?』異學!汝應作是問。」
於是,異學便作是語:「我今更問賢者薄拘羅!汝於此正法、律中學道已來八十年,頗憶曾起欲想耶?」
於是,尊者薄拘羅因此異學問,便語諸比丘:「諸賢!我於此正法、律中學道已來八十年,以此起貢高者,都無是想。若尊者薄拘羅作此說,是謂尊者薄拘羅未曾有法。」
複次,尊者薄拘羅作是說:「諸賢!我於此正法、律中學道已來八十年,未曾有欲想。若尊者薄拘羅作此說,是謂尊者薄拘羅未曾有法。」
複次,尊者薄拘羅作是說:「諸賢!我持糞掃衣來八十年,若因此起貢高者,都無是相。若尊者薄拘羅作此說,是謂尊者薄拘羅未曾有法
一個外道問道:'賢者薄拘羅!你在這正法和戒律中修行了多久?' 尊者薄拘羅回答說:'外道!我在這正法和戒律中修行已經八十年了。' 外道又問:'賢者薄拘羅!你在這正法和戒律中修行了八十年,還記得曾經行過淫慾之事嗎?' 尊者薄拘羅對外道說:'你不要這樣問,問其他的事情。你應該問:'賢者薄拘羅!你在這正法和戒律中修行了八十年,還記得曾經生起過淫慾的念頭嗎?'' 於是,外道就問:'我現在再問賢者薄拘羅!你在這正法和戒律中修行了八十年,還記得曾經生起過淫慾的念頭嗎?' 於是,尊者薄拘羅因為外道的提問,就對眾比丘說:'諸位賢者!我在這正法和戒律中修行了八十年,如果因此而生起貢高之心,我都沒有這樣的想法。如果尊者薄拘羅這樣說,就說明尊者薄拘羅沒有證得任何法。' 接著,尊者薄拘羅又說:'諸位賢者!我在這正法和戒律中修行了八十年,從未有過淫慾的念頭。如果尊者薄拘羅這樣說,就說明尊者薄拘羅沒有證得任何法。' 接著,尊者薄拘羅又說:'諸位賢者!我穿著糞掃衣已經八十年了,如果因此而生起貢高之心,我都沒有這樣的想法。如果尊者薄拘羅這樣說,就說明尊者薄拘羅沒有證得任何法。'
An ascetic asked: 'Venerable Bakula! How long have you been practicing in this Dharma and Vinaya?' Venerable Bakula replied: 'Ascetic! I have been practicing in this Dharma and Vinaya for eighty years.' The ascetic further asked: 'Venerable Bakula! In these eighty years of practicing in this Dharma and Vinaya, do you remember ever engaging in sexual activity?' Venerable Bakula said to the ascetic: 'Do not ask that question, ask something else. You should ask: 'Venerable Bakula! In these eighty years of practicing in this Dharma and Vinaya, do you remember ever having a lustful thought?'' Then, the ascetic asked: 'I now ask again, Venerable Bakula! In these eighty years of practicing in this Dharma and Vinaya, do you remember ever having a lustful thought?' Then, Venerable Bakula, because of the ascetic's question, said to the monks: 'Friends! In these eighty years of practicing in this Dharma and Vinaya, if I were to develop conceit because of this, I have no such thought. If Venerable Bakula were to say this, it would mean that Venerable Bakula has not attained any Dharma.' Furthermore, Venerable Bakula said: 'Friends! In these eighty years of practicing in this Dharma and Vinaya, I have never had a lustful thought. If Venerable Bakula were to say this, it would mean that Venerable Bakula has not attained any Dharma.' Furthermore, Venerable Bakula said: 'Friends! I have been wearing rag robes for eighty years, if I were to develop conceit because of this, I have no such thought. If Venerable Bakula were to say this, it would mean that Venerable Bakula has not attained any Dharma.'
複次,尊者薄拘羅作是說:「諸賢!我持糞掃衣來八十年,未曾憶受居士衣,未曾割截作衣,未曾倩他比丘作衣,未曾用針縫衣,未曾持針縫囊,乃至一縷。若尊者薄拘羅作此說,是謂尊者薄拘羅未曾有法。」
複次,尊者薄拘羅作是說:「諸賢!我乞食來八十年,若因此起貢高者,都無是相。若尊者薄拘羅作此說,是謂尊者薄拘羅未曾有法。」
複次,尊者薄拘羅作是說:「諸賢!我乞食來八十年,未曾憶受居士請,未曾超越乞食,未曾從大家乞食于中當得凈好極妙豐饒食啖含消,未曾視女人面,未曾憶入比丘尼坊中,未曾憶與比丘尼共相問訊,乃至道路亦不共語。若尊者薄拘羅作此說,是謂尊者薄拘羅未曾有法。」
複次,尊者薄拘羅作是說:「諸賢!我於此正法、律中學道已來八十年,未曾憶畜沙彌,未曾憶為白衣說法,乃至四句頌亦不為說。若尊者薄拘羅作此說,是謂尊者薄拘羅未曾有法。」
複次,尊者薄拘羅作是說:「諸賢!我於此正法、律中學道已來八十年,未曾有病,乃至彈指頃頭痛者,未曾憶服藥,乃至一片訶梨勒。若尊者薄拘羅作此說,是謂尊者薄拘羅未曾有法。」
複次,尊者薄拘羅作是說:「諸賢!我結加趺坐,於八十年未曾猗壁猗樹
再說,尊者薄拘羅這樣說:『諸位賢者!我穿著糞掃衣已經八十年了,不曾記得接受過在家居士的衣服,不曾自己裁剪製作衣服,不曾請其他比丘幫忙做衣服,不曾用針縫衣服,不曾用針縫製袋子,甚至連一根線都沒有用過。』如果尊者薄拘羅這樣說,這就是尊者薄拘羅未曾有過的行為。 再說,尊者薄拘羅這樣說:『諸位賢者!我乞食已經八十年了,如果因此而產生驕傲自滿,那絕對沒有這種現象。』如果尊者薄拘羅這樣說,這就是尊者薄拘羅未曾有過的行為。 再說,尊者薄拘羅這樣說:『諸位賢者!我乞食已經八十年了,不曾記得接受過在家居士的邀請,不曾越過乞食的規矩,不曾從富裕人家乞食,以求獲得乾淨、美好、豐盛的食物,不曾看過女人的臉,不曾記得進入比丘尼的住所,不曾記得與比丘尼互相問候,甚至在路上也不與她們交談。』如果尊者薄拘羅這樣說,這就是尊者薄拘羅未曾有過的行為。 再說,尊者薄拘羅這樣說:『諸位賢者!我在這正法和戒律中修行已經八十年了,不曾記得蓄養沙彌,不曾記得為在家白衣說法,甚至連四句偈頌也不曾為他們說。』如果尊者薄拘羅這樣說,這就是尊者薄拘羅未曾有過的行為。 再說,尊者薄拘羅這樣說:『諸位賢者!我在這正法和戒律中修行已經八十年了,不曾生過病,甚至連彈指間頭痛都沒有過,不曾記得吃過藥,哪怕是一片訶梨勒果。』如果尊者薄拘羅這樣說,這就是尊者薄拘羅未曾有過的行為。 再說,尊者薄拘羅這樣說:『諸位賢者!我結跏趺坐,八十年來不曾依靠墻壁或樹木』
Furthermore, the venerable Bakkula said this: 'Friends, for eighty years I have worn robes made of discarded rags, and I do not recall ever having accepted robes from a householder, nor having cut and made a robe myself, nor having asked another monk to make a robe for me, nor having sewn a robe with a needle, nor having sewn a bag with a needle, not even a single thread.' If the venerable Bakkula says this, it is said that this is something the venerable Bakkula has never done. Furthermore, the venerable Bakkula said this: 'Friends, for eighty years I have gone for alms, and if because of this, pride were to arise, there is absolutely no such sign.' If the venerable Bakkula says this, it is said that this is something the venerable Bakkula has never done. Furthermore, the venerable Bakkula said this: 'Friends, for eighty years I have gone for alms, and I do not recall ever having accepted an invitation from a householder, nor having transgressed the rules of alms-seeking, nor having sought alms from wealthy families in order to obtain clean, fine, abundant, and delicious food, nor having looked at a woman's face, nor do I recall entering a nun's dwelling, nor do I recall exchanging greetings with a nun, not even speaking to them on the road.' If the venerable Bakkula says this, it is said that this is something the venerable Bakkula has never done. Furthermore, the venerable Bakkula said this: 'Friends, for eighty years since I began practicing in this Dharma and Discipline, I do not recall having kept a novice monk, nor do I recall having taught the Dharma to a layperson, not even a four-line verse.' If the venerable Bakkula says this, it is said that this is something the venerable Bakkula has never done. Furthermore, the venerable Bakkula said this: 'Friends, for eighty years since I began practicing in this Dharma and Discipline, I have not been ill, not even a headache for the snap of a finger, and I do not recall having taken medicine, not even a single piece of haritaki fruit.' If the venerable Bakkula says this, it is said that this is something the venerable Bakkula has never done. Furthermore, the venerable Bakkula said this: 'Friends, I have sat in the lotus position, and for eighty years I have not leaned against a wall or a tree.'
。若尊者薄拘羅作此說,是謂尊者薄拘羅未曾有法。」
複次,尊者薄拘羅作是說:「諸賢!我於三日夜中得三達證。若尊者薄拘羅作此說,是謂尊者薄拘羅未曾有法。」
複次,尊者薄拘羅作是說:「諸賢!我結加趺坐而般涅槃,尊者薄拘羅便結加趺坐而般涅槃。若尊者薄拘羅結加趺坐而般涅槃,是謂尊者薄拘羅未曾有法。」
尊者薄拘羅所說如是,彼時異學及諸比丘,聞所說已,歡喜奉行。
薄拘羅經第三竟(九百八十字)
(三五)中阿含未曾有法品阿修羅經第四(初一日誦)
一時,佛游鞞蘭若,在黃蘆園。
爾時,婆羅邏阿修羅王、牟梨遮阿修羅子,色像巍巍,光耀暐曄,夜將向旦,往詣佛所,禮世尊足,卻住一面。
世尊問曰:「婆羅邏!大海中阿修羅無有衰退阿修羅壽、阿修羅色、阿修羅樂、阿修羅力,諸阿修羅樂大海中耶?」
婆羅邏阿修羅王、牟梨遮阿修羅子答曰:「世尊!我大海中諸阿修羅無有衰退于阿修羅壽、阿修羅色、阿修羅樂、阿修羅力,諸阿修羅樂大海中。」
世尊復問曰:「婆羅邏!大海中有幾未曾有法,令諸阿修羅見已樂中
『如果尊者薄拘羅這樣說,那就說明尊者薄拘羅沒有證得過這樣的法。』 再者,尊者薄拘羅這樣說:『諸位賢者,我在三天三夜中證得了三項通達的智慧。』如果尊者薄拘羅這樣說,那就說明尊者薄拘羅沒有證得過這樣的法。 再者,尊者薄拘羅這樣說:『諸位賢者,我將結跏趺坐而入涅槃。』尊者薄拘羅便結跏趺坐而入涅槃。如果尊者薄拘羅結跏趺坐而入涅槃,那就說明尊者薄拘羅沒有證得過這樣的法。 尊者薄拘羅所說就是這樣,當時的外道和其他比丘,聽了這些話后,都歡喜地奉行。 《薄拘羅經》第三完(九百八十字) (三五)《中阿含經·未曾有法品·阿修羅經》第四(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在鞞蘭若的黃蘆園游化。 當時,婆羅邏阿修羅王和牟梨遮阿修羅子,他們的形象威嚴,光芒閃耀,在黎明時分,來到佛陀所在的地方,禮拜世尊的腳,然後退到一旁站立。 世尊問道:『婆羅邏,大海中的阿修羅,他們的壽命、容貌、快樂和力量都沒有衰退,他們都喜歡在大海中嗎?』 婆羅邏阿修羅王和牟梨遮阿修羅子回答說:『世尊,我們大海中的阿修羅,他們的壽命、容貌、快樂和力量都沒有衰退,他們都喜歡在大海中。』 世尊又問道:『婆羅邏,大海中有多少未曾有過的法,讓阿修羅們看到後感到快樂?』
'If the venerable Bakula were to say this, it would mean that the venerable Bakula has not attained such a state.' Furthermore, the venerable Bakula says this: 'Friends, I have attained three kinds of profound understanding in three days and nights.' If the venerable Bakula were to say this, it would mean that the venerable Bakula has not attained such a state. Furthermore, the venerable Bakula says this: 'Friends, I will enter Nirvana in the lotus position.' And the venerable Bakula did enter Nirvana in the lotus position. If the venerable Bakula were to enter Nirvana in the lotus position, it would mean that the venerable Bakula has not attained such a state. This is what the venerable Bakula said, and at that time, the heretics and other monks, having heard what was said, joyfully practiced it. The third discourse, 'Bakula Sutta,' is complete (980 words). (35) The fourth discourse, 'Asura Sutta,' from the 'Unprecedented Things' section of the 'Middle Length Discourses' (recited on the first day). At one time, the Buddha was wandering in Veranja, in the Yellow Reed Garden. At that time, the Asura King Baralara and the Asura Prince Murica, with majestic appearances and radiant light, approached the Buddha's place at dawn, bowed at the Blessed One's feet, and stood to one side. The Blessed One asked: 'Baralara, do the Asuras in the great ocean, whose lifespan, appearance, happiness, and power do not decline, enjoy being in the great ocean?' The Asura King Baralara and the Asura Prince Murica replied: 'Blessed One, the Asuras in our great ocean, whose lifespan, appearance, happiness, and power do not decline, enjoy being in the great ocean.' The Blessed One asked again: 'Baralara, how many unprecedented things are there in the great ocean that make the Asuras happy when they see them?'

。婆羅邏!我正法、律亦復如是,剎利種族姓子,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道,彼捨本名,同曰沙門,梵志種、居士種、工師種族姓子,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道,彼捨本名,同曰沙門。婆羅邏!若我正法、律中剎利種族姓子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道,彼捨本名,同曰沙門,梵志種、居士種、工師種族姓子,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道,彼捨本名,同曰沙門者,是謂我正法、律中第八未曾有法,令諸比丘見已樂中。
「婆羅邏!是謂正法、律中有八未曾有法,令諸比丘見已樂中。婆羅邏!于意云何?若我正法、律中有八未曾有法,若汝大海中有八未曾有法,此二種未曾有法,何者為上、為勝、為妙、為最?」
婆羅邏白曰:「世尊!我大海中有八未曾有法,不及如來八未曾有法,不如千倍萬倍,不可比,不可喻,不可稱,不可數,但世尊八未曾有法為上、為勝、為妙、為最。世尊!我今自歸於佛、法及比丘眾,唯愿世尊受我為優婆塞,從今日始,終身自歸,乃至命盡。」
佛說如是。婆羅邏阿修羅王及諸比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行
現代漢語譯本:婆羅邏!我的正法和戒律也是如此。剎帝利種姓的男子,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家修行,他們捨棄原來的名字,都稱為沙門。婆羅門種姓、居士種姓、工匠種姓的男子,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家修行,他們也捨棄原來的名字,都稱為沙門。婆羅邏!如果我的正法和戒律中,剎帝利種姓的男子剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家修行,他們捨棄原來的名字,都稱為沙門;婆羅門種姓、居士種姓、工匠種姓的男子,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家修行,他們也捨棄原來的名字,都稱為沙門,這就是我的正法和戒律中第八種未曾有過的法,能讓比丘們見到後感到歡喜。 婆羅邏!這就是正法和戒律中存在的八種未曾有過的法,能讓比丘們見到後感到歡喜。婆羅邏!你認為如何?如果我的正法和戒律中有八種未曾有過的法,如果你的大海中也有八種未曾有過的法,這兩種未曾有過的法,哪一種更為殊勝、更為優越、更為微妙、更為至上呢? 婆羅邏回答說:『世尊!我大海中存在的八種未曾有過的法,比不上如來的八種未曾有過的法,不如千倍萬倍,無法相比,無法比喻,無法稱量,無法計數,只有世尊的八種未曾有過的法才是最為殊勝、最為優越、最為微妙、最為至上的。世尊!我現在皈依佛、法和比丘僧團,唯愿世尊接納我為優婆塞,從今天開始,終身皈依,直到生命結束。』 佛陀如是說。婆羅邏阿修羅王和眾比丘,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。
English version: 'Bharala! My Dharma and Vinaya are also like this. Men of the Kshatriya caste, having shaved their heads and beards, and donned the monastic robes, with sincere faith, leave their homes, renounce the household life, and practice the Way. They abandon their original names and are all called 'Shramana'. Men of the Brahmin caste, the householder caste, and the artisan caste, having shaved their heads and beards, and donned the monastic robes, with sincere faith, leave their homes, renounce the household life, and practice the Way. They also abandon their original names and are all called 'Shramana'. Bharala! If in my Dharma and Vinaya, men of the Kshatriya caste, having shaved their heads and beards, and donned the monastic robes, with sincere faith, leave their homes, renounce the household life, and practice the Way, they abandon their original names and are all called 'Shramana'; men of the Brahmin caste, the householder caste, and the artisan caste, having shaved their heads and beards, and donned the monastic robes, with sincere faith, leave their homes, renounce the household life, and practice the Way, they also abandon their original names and are all called 'Shramana', this is the eighth unprecedented phenomenon in my Dharma and Vinaya, which makes the monks rejoice upon seeing it.' 'Bharala! These are the eight unprecedented phenomena in the Dharma and Vinaya, which make the monks rejoice upon seeing them. Bharala! What do you think? If there are eight unprecedented phenomena in my Dharma and Vinaya, and if there are also eight unprecedented phenomena in your great ocean, which of these two kinds of unprecedented phenomena is superior, more excellent, more subtle, and more supreme?' Bharala replied: 'World Honored One! The eight unprecedented phenomena in my great ocean are not comparable to the eight unprecedented phenomena of the Tathagata. They are not as good by a thousand or ten thousand times. They cannot be compared, cannot be likened, cannot be measured, and cannot be counted. Only the eight unprecedented phenomena of the World Honored One are superior, more excellent, more subtle, and more supreme. World Honored One! I now take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. May the World Honored One accept me as a lay disciple, from this day forward, taking refuge for the rest of my life, until the end of my life.' The Buddha spoke thus. King Bharala Asura and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

一時,佛游金剛國,城名曰地。
爾時,彼地大動,地大動時,四面大風起,四方彗星出,屋舍墻壁皆崩壞盡。於是,尊者阿難見地大動,地大動時,四面大風起,四方彗星出,屋舍墻壁皆崩壞盡。
尊者阿難見已恐怖,舉身毛豎,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,卻住一面,白曰:「世尊!今地大動,地大動時,四面大風起,四方彗星出,屋舍墻壁皆崩壞盡。」
於是,世尊語尊者阿難曰:「如是,阿難!今地大動。如是,阿難!地大動時,四面大風起,四方彗星出,屋舍墻壁皆崩壞盡。」
尊者阿難白曰:「世尊!有幾因緣令地大動,地大動時,四面大風起,四方彗星出,屋舍墻壁皆崩壞盡?」
世尊答曰:「阿難!有三因緣令地大動,地大動時,四面大風起,四方彗星出,屋舍墻壁皆崩壞盡。云何為三?阿難!此地止水上,水止風上,風依于空
阿修羅經第四結束(二千三百六十二字) 《中阿含經》卷第八(一萬六百五十八字)(初一日誦) 《中阿含經》卷第九 (三六)《未曾有法品》之《地動經》第五(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在金剛國游化,城的名字叫地。 當時,那地方發生大地震,地震發生時,四面八方颳起大風,四方出現彗星,房屋墻壁都崩塌毀壞了。於是,尊者阿難看到大地震,地震發生時,四面八方颳起大風,四方出現彗星,房屋墻壁都崩塌毀壞了。 尊者阿難看到後感到恐懼,全身汗毛豎立,前往佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立,說道:『世尊!現在發生大地震,地震發生時,四面八方颳起大風,四方出現彗星,房屋墻壁都崩塌毀壞了。』 於是,世尊告訴尊者阿難說:『是的,阿難!現在發生大地震。是的,阿難!地震發生時,四面八方颳起大風,四方出現彗星,房屋墻壁都崩塌毀壞了。』 尊者阿難問道:『世尊!有幾種因緣導致大地震,地震發生時,四面八方颳起大風,四方出現彗星,房屋墻壁都崩塌毀壞?』 世尊回答說:『阿難!有三種因緣導致大地震,地震發生時,四面八方颳起大風,四方出現彗星,房屋墻壁都崩塌毀壞。哪三種呢?阿難!這大地是建立在水上的,水是建立在風上的,風是依存於虛空的。』
The Fourth Discourse of the Asura Sutra ends (2,362 words) The Eighth Scroll of the Madhyama Agama Sutra (10,658 words) (Recited on the first day) Taisho Tripitaka Volume 01, No. 0026, Madhyama Agama Sutra The Ninth Scroll of the Madhyama Agama Sutra Translated by the Tripitaka Master Gautama Sanghadeva of Kipin during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (36) The Fifth Discourse on Earthquakes from the 'Unprecedented Dharma' Section (Recited on the first day) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Vajra, in a city named Earth. At that time, a great earthquake occurred there. When the earthquake occurred, great winds arose from all four directions, comets appeared in the four quarters, and houses and walls all collapsed and were destroyed. Then, Venerable Ananda saw the great earthquake, and when the earthquake occurred, great winds arose from all four directions, comets appeared in the four quarters, and houses and walls all collapsed and were destroyed. Having seen this, Venerable Ananda was terrified, his whole body trembled, and he went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and stood to one side, saying: 'Venerable One! Now there is a great earthquake, and when the earthquake occurred, great winds arose from all four directions, comets appeared in the four quarters, and houses and walls all collapsed and were destroyed.' Then, the World-Honored One said to Venerable Ananda: 'Yes, Ananda! Now there is a great earthquake. Yes, Ananda! When the earthquake occurred, great winds arose from all four directions, comets appeared in the four quarters, and houses and walls all collapsed and were destroyed.' Venerable Ananda asked: 'Venerable One! What are the causes and conditions that lead to a great earthquake, and when the earthquake occurs, great winds arise from all four directions, comets appear in the four quarters, and houses and walls all collapse and are destroyed?' The World-Honored One replied: 'Ananda! There are three causes and conditions that lead to a great earthquake, and when the earthquake occurs, great winds arise from all four directions, comets appear in the four quarters, and houses and walls all collapse and are destroyed. What are the three? Ananda! This earth rests upon water, water rests upon wind, and wind is dependent on space.'
。阿難!有時空中大風起,風起則水擾,水擾則地動,是謂第一因緣令地大動,地大動時,四面大風起,四方彗星出,屋舍墻壁皆崩壞盡。
「複次,阿難!比丘有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神,心自在如意足。彼于地作小想,於水作無量想,彼因是故,此地隨所欲、隨其意,擾復擾,震復震。護比丘天亦復如是,有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神,心自在如意足。彼于地作小想,於水作無量想,彼因是故,此地隨所欲、隨其意,擾復擾,震復震,是謂第二因緣令地大動,地大動時,四面大風起,四方彗星出,屋舍墻壁皆崩壞盡。
「複次,阿難!若如來不久過三月已當般涅槃,由是之故,令地大動,地大動時,四面大風起,四方彗星出,屋舍墻壁皆崩壞盡,是謂第三因緣令地大動,地大動時,四面大風起,四方彗星出,屋舍墻壁皆崩壞盡。」
於是,尊者阿難聞是語已,悲泣涕零,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!甚奇!甚特!如來、無所著、等正覺成就功德,得未曾有法。所以者何?謂如來不久過三月已當般涅槃,是時令地大動,地大動時,四面大風起,四方彗星出,屋舍墻壁皆崩壞盡
現代漢語譯本:阿難!有時候,空中會颳起大風,風起時水面就會動盪,水面動盪則導致地面震動,這是第一種導致地面劇烈震動的原因。地面劇烈震動時,四面八方會颳起大風,四面都會出現彗星,房屋墻壁都會崩塌毀壞。 再者,阿難!有些比丘擁有強大的如意神通,具有強大的威德、福佑和威神力,他們的心意可以自在地運用如意神通。他們可以觀想地面為微小之物,觀想水為無量之物,因此,地面會隨著他們的意願和想法而動盪和震動。護持比丘的天神也是如此,他們擁有強大的如意神通,具有強大的威德、福佑和威神力,他們的心意可以自在地運用如意神通。他們可以觀想地面為微小之物,觀想水為無量之物,因此,地面會隨著他們的意願和想法而動盪和震動。這是第二種導致地面劇烈震動的原因。地面劇烈震動時,四面八方會颳起大風,四面都會出現彗星,房屋墻壁都會崩塌毀壞。 再者,阿難!如果如來在不超過三個月的時間內即將涅槃,也會因此導致地面劇烈震動。地面劇烈震動時,四面八方會颳起大風,四面都會出現彗星,房屋墻壁都會崩塌毀壞。這是第三種導致地面劇烈震動的原因。地面劇烈震動時,四面八方會颳起大風,四面都會出現彗星,房屋墻壁都會崩塌毀壞。 於是,尊者阿難聽了這些話后,悲傷地哭泣,雙手合十向佛陀說道:『世尊!真是太神奇了!太特別了!如來、無所執著、等正覺成就的功德,獲得了前所未有的法。這是為什麼呢?因為如來在不超過三個月的時間內即將涅槃,這時會導致地面劇烈震動。地面劇烈震動時,四面八方會颳起大風,四面都會出現彗星,房屋墻壁都會崩塌毀壞。』
English version: 'Ananda! Sometimes, great winds arise in the sky. When the wind arises, the water is disturbed, and when the water is disturbed, the earth shakes. This is the first cause and condition for the great shaking of the earth. When the earth shakes greatly, great winds arise in all directions, comets appear in all quarters, and houses and walls all collapse and are destroyed.' 'Furthermore, Ananda! There are monks who possess great psychic powers, great virtue, great blessings, and great spiritual power, and whose minds are free to use their psychic powers as they wish. They can perceive the earth as something small and water as something immeasurable. Because of this, the earth will be disturbed and shaken according to their will and intention. The devas who protect the monks are also like this. They possess great psychic powers, great virtue, great blessings, and great spiritual power, and their minds are free to use their psychic powers as they wish. They can perceive the earth as something small and water as something immeasurable. Because of this, the earth will be disturbed and shaken according to their will and intention. This is the second cause and condition for the great shaking of the earth. When the earth shakes greatly, great winds arise in all directions, comets appear in all quarters, and houses and walls all collapse and are destroyed.' 'Furthermore, Ananda! If the Tathagata is about to pass into Nirvana within three months, this will also cause the earth to shake greatly. When the earth shakes greatly, great winds arise in all directions, comets appear in all quarters, and houses and walls all collapse and are destroyed. This is the third cause and condition for the great shaking of the earth. When the earth shakes greatly, great winds arise in all directions, comets appear in all quarters, and houses and walls all collapse and are destroyed.' Then, Venerable Ananda, having heard these words, wept with sorrow, clasped his hands together, and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! How marvelous! How extraordinary! The Tathagata, the unattached, the perfectly enlightened one, has achieved merits and obtained unprecedented Dharma. Why is this? Because the Tathagata is about to pass into Nirvana within three months, and at that time, it will cause the earth to shake greatly. When the earth shakes greatly, great winds arise in all directions, comets appear in all quarters, and houses and walls all collapse and are destroyed.'
世尊語尊者阿難曰:「如是,阿難!如是,阿難!甚奇!甚特!如來、無所著、等正覺成就功德,得未曾有法。所以者何?謂如來不久過三月已當般涅槃,是時令地大動,地大動時,四面大風起,四方彗星出,屋舍墻壁皆崩壞盡。
「複次,阿難!我往詣無量百千剎利眾,共坐談論,令可彼意,共坐定已,如彼色像,我色像亦然;如彼音聲,我音聲亦然;如彼威儀禮節,我威儀禮節亦然;若彼問義,我答彼義。複次,我為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,即彼處沒,我既沒已,彼不知誰,為人,為非人?阿難!如是甚奇!甚特!如來、無所著、等正覺成就功德,得未曾有法。如是梵志眾、居士眾、沙門眾。
「阿難!我往詣無量百千四王天眾,共坐談論,令可彼意,共坐定已,如彼色像,我色像亦然;如彼音聲,我音聲亦然;如彼威儀禮節,我威儀禮節亦然;若彼問義,我答彼義。複次,我為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,即彼處沒,我既沒已,彼不知誰,為天,為異天?阿難!如是甚奇!甚特!如來、無所著、等正覺成就功德,得未曾有法
世尊對尊者阿難說:『是的,阿難!是的,阿難!這真是太奇特了!如來、無所執著、等正覺成就的功德,獲得了前所未有的法。這是為什麼呢?因為如來不久之後,將在三個月內般涅槃,那時會發生大地震動,地震動時,四面會颳起大風,四方會出現彗星,房屋墻壁都會崩塌毀壞。 『再者,阿難!我前往無數百千的剎帝利大眾,與他們一同坐下談論,使他們感到滿意。一同坐定后,我的形色像他們一樣;我的聲音也像他們一樣;我的威儀禮節也像他們一樣;如果他們問我義理,我就回答他們的義理。再者,我為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求,成就歡喜。我用無數方便為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求,成就歡喜后,就在那裡消失了。我消失後,他們不知道我是誰,是人,還是非人?阿難!這真是太奇特了!如來、無所執著、等正覺成就的功德,獲得了前所未有的法。對於婆羅門大眾、居士大眾、沙門大眾也是如此。 『阿難!我前往無數百千的四王天眾,與他們一同坐下談論,使他們感到滿意。一同坐定后,我的形色像他們一樣;我的聲音也像他們一樣;我的威儀禮節也像他們一樣;如果他們問我義理,我就回答他們的義理。再者,我為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求,成就歡喜。我用無數方便為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求,成就歡喜后,就在那裡消失了。我消失後,他們不知道我是誰,是天,還是異天?阿難!這真是太奇特了!如來、無所執著、等正覺成就的功德,獲得了前所未有的法。』
The World Honored One said to Venerable Ananda: 'So it is, Ananda! So it is, Ananda! How marvelous! How extraordinary! The Tathagata, unattached, the perfectly enlightened one, has achieved merits and obtained unprecedented Dharma. Why is that? Because the Tathagata, not long from now, will enter Parinirvana within three months. At that time, there will be a great earthquake, and when the earth shakes, great winds will arise from all directions, comets will appear in the four quarters, and houses and walls will all collapse and be destroyed.' 'Furthermore, Ananda! I go to countless hundreds of thousands of Kshatriya assemblies, sit and converse with them, making them content. Once seated, my appearance is like theirs; my voice is like theirs; my demeanor and etiquette are like theirs; if they ask me about the meaning, I answer their meaning. Furthermore, I preach the Dharma to them, encouraging them to generate longing and achieve joy. After preaching the Dharma to them with countless skillful means, encouraging them to generate longing and achieve joy, I disappear from that place. After I disappear, they do not know who I am, whether a human or a non-human. Ananda! How marvelous! How extraordinary! The Tathagata, unattached, the perfectly enlightened one, has achieved merits and obtained unprecedented Dharma. The same is true for the Brahmin assemblies, the householder assemblies, and the Shramana assemblies.' 'Ananda! I go to countless hundreds of thousands of the Four Heavenly Kings' assemblies, sit and converse with them, making them content. Once seated, my appearance is like theirs; my voice is like theirs; my demeanor and etiquette are like theirs; if they ask me about the meaning, I answer their meaning. Furthermore, I preach the Dharma to them, encouraging them to generate longing and achieve joy. After preaching the Dharma to them with countless skillful means, encouraging them to generate longing and achieve joy, I disappear from that place. After I disappear, they do not know who I am, whether a deva or a non-deva. Ananda! How marvelous! How extraordinary! The Tathagata, unattached, the perfectly enlightened one, has achieved merits and obtained unprecedented Dharma.'

「阿難!我往詣無量百千色究竟天眾,共坐談論,令可彼意,共坐定已,如彼色像,我色像亦然;如彼音聲,我音聲亦然;如彼威儀禮節,我威儀禮節亦然;若彼問義,我答彼義。複次,我為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,即彼處沒,我既沒已,彼不知誰,為天,為異天?阿難!如是甚奇!甚特!如來、無所著、等正覺成就功德,得未曾有法。」
佛說如是。尊者阿難及諸比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三七)中阿含未曾有法品瞻波經第六(初一日誦)
一時,佛游瞻波,在恒伽池邊。
爾時,世尊月十五日說從解脫時,于比丘眾前敷座而坐。世尊坐已,即便入定,以他心智觀察眾心,觀眾心已,至初夜竟,默然而坐。
於是,有一比丘即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!初夜已訖,佛及比丘眾集坐來久,唯愿世尊說從解脫。」爾時,世尊默然不答
現代漢語譯本:如是三十三天、焰摩天、兜率天、化樂天、他化自在天、梵身天、梵輔天、少光天、無量光天、光音天、少凈天、無量凈天、遍凈天、無雲天、福生天、廣果天、無煩天、無熱天、善見天、善現天。 阿難!我曾前往無量百千色究竟天眾,與他們一同坐下交談,使他們感到滿意。一同坐定后,我的形貌如同他們的形貌,我的聲音如同他們的聲音,我的威儀禮節如同他們的威儀禮節。如果他們問我義理,我就回答他們的義理。此外,我為他們說法,勸導他們渴求佛法,成就歡喜。我用無量方便為他們說法,勸導他們渴求佛法,成就歡喜后,就在那裡消失。我消失後,他們不知道我是天,還是其他的天?阿難!這真是非常奇特!非常殊勝!如來、無所著、等正覺成就了功德,獲得了前所未有的法。 佛陀如此說道。尊者阿難和眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《地動經》第五完(一千二百三十三字) (三七)《中阿含經·未曾有法品·瞻波經》第六(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在瞻波游化,住在恒伽池邊。 當時,世尊在月圓之夜,為比丘眾宣說從解脫之道時,在比丘眾前鋪設座位坐下。世尊坐下後,就進入禪定,用他心智觀察眾人的心念。觀察眾心后,直到初夜結束,默然靜坐。 這時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,偏袒右肩,合掌向佛陀,說道:『世尊!初夜已經結束,佛陀和比丘眾聚集坐在這裡很久了,唯愿世尊宣說從解脫之道。』當時,世尊默然不語。
English version: Such are the Thirty-three Heavens, the Yama Heaven, the Tusita Heaven, the Nirmāṇarati Heaven, the Paranirmitavaśavartin Heaven, the Brahma-body Heaven, the Brahma-retinue Heaven, the Heaven of Limited Light, the Heaven of Immeasurable Light, the Heaven of Streaming Radiance, the Heaven of Limited Purity, the Heaven of Immeasurable Purity, the Heaven of Universal Purity, the Heaven of No Obstruction, the Heaven of Merit-born, the Heaven of Fruitful Results, the Heaven of No Affliction, the Heaven of No Heat, the Heaven of Good Vision, the Heaven of Good Manifestation. 『Ananda! I have gone to countless hundreds of thousands of the Akanistha Heaven assembly, sat and conversed with them, making them content. Having sat together, my appearance was like their appearance; my voice was like their voice; my demeanor and etiquette were like their demeanor and etiquette. If they asked about the meaning, I would answer their meaning. Furthermore, I would preach the Dharma to them, encouraging their thirst for it, and achieving joy. Having preached the Dharma to them with countless skillful means, encouraging their thirst for it, and achieving joy, I would then disappear from that place. After I disappeared, they would not know whether I was a deva or a different kind of deva. Ananda! This is truly wondrous! Truly extraordinary! The Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, has achieved merit and obtained a Dharma that has never been before.』 The Buddha spoke thus. Venerable Ananda and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The End of the Fifth Discourse on Earthquakes (1233 words) (37) The Sixth Discourse of the Champaka in the Unprecedented Dharma Section of the Middle Length Discourses (Recited on the First Day) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Champaka, residing near the Ganges Pond. Then, on the full moon day, the Blessed One, while speaking about liberation, sat down on a seat prepared before the assembly of monks. Having sat down, the Blessed One entered into meditation, observing the minds of the assembly with his mind-reading knowledge. Having observed their minds, he remained silent until the end of the first watch of the night. Then, a certain monk rose from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, and, with his hands folded, said to the Buddha: 『Venerable Sir, the first watch of the night has ended, and the Buddha and the assembly of monks have been sitting here for a long time. May the Blessed One please speak about liberation.』 At that time, the Blessed One remained silent.
於是,世尊復至中夜默然而坐。彼一比丘再從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!初夜已過,中夜將訖,佛及比丘眾集坐來久,唯愿世尊說從解脫。」世尊亦再默然不答。
於是,世尊復至后夜默然而坐。彼一比丘三從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!初夜既過,中夜復訖,后夜垂盡,將向欲明,明出不久,佛及比丘眾集坐極久,唯愿世尊說從解脫。」
爾時,世尊告彼比丘:「於此眾中,有一比丘已為不凈。」彼時尊者大目乾連亦在眾中,於是,尊者大目乾連便作是念:「世尊為何比丘而說此眾中有一比丘已為不凈?我寧可入如其像定,以如其像定他心之智,觀察眾心。」尊者大目乾連即入如其像定,以如其像定他心之智,觀察眾心,尊者大目乾連便知世尊所為比丘說,此眾中有一比丘已為不凈。
於是,尊者大目乾連即從定起,至彼比丘前,牽臂將出,開門置外:「癡人遠去,莫於此住,不復得與比丘眾會,從今已去,非是比丘。」閉門下鑰,還詣佛所,稽首佛足,卻坐一面,白曰:「世尊所為比丘說,此眾中有一比丘已為不凈,我已逐出。世尊!初夜既過,中夜復訖,后夜垂盡,將向欲明,明出不久,佛及比丘眾集坐極久,唯愿世尊說從解脫
於是,世尊再次於午夜時分默然靜坐。那位比丘再次從座位上起身,袒露右肩,雙手合十向佛陀稟告:『世尊!初夜已過,中夜即將結束,佛陀和眾比丘聚集坐在這裡已經很久了,懇請世尊開示解脫之道。』世尊仍然保持沉默,沒有回答。 於是,世尊又在後半夜默然靜坐。那位比丘第三次從座位上起身,袒露右肩,雙手合十向佛陀稟告:『世尊!初夜已經過去,中夜也已結束,後半夜也快要結束,天將破曉,黎明即將到來,佛陀和眾比丘聚集坐在這裡已經非常久了,懇請世尊開示解脫之道。』 這時,世尊告訴那位比丘:『在這個僧團中,有一位比丘已經不清凈了。』當時,尊者大目犍連也在僧團中,於是,尊者大目犍連心想:『世尊所說的這個僧團中有一位比丘不清凈,指的是哪位比丘呢?我應該進入如其像定,用如其像定所產生的知曉他人心智的能力,來觀察眾人的心念。』尊者大目犍連隨即進入如其像定,用如其像定所產生的知曉他人心智的能力,觀察眾人的心念,尊者大目犍連便知道世尊所說的那個不清凈的比丘是誰。 於是,尊者大目犍連從禪定中起身,走到那位比丘面前,抓住他的手臂將他拉出去,打開門把他安置在外面:『愚癡之人,快走吧,不要再待在這裡,你不再是比丘僧團的一員,從今以後,你不再是比丘。』說完,關上門並鎖上,然後回到佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,退坐在一旁,稟告說:『世尊所說的這個僧團中有一位比丘不清凈,我已經把他趕出去了。世尊!初夜已經過去,中夜也已結束,後半夜也快要結束,天將破曉,黎明即將到來,佛陀和眾比丘聚集坐在這裡已經非常久了,懇請世尊開示解脫之道。』
Then, the World-Honored One again sat in silence at midnight. That one bhikkhu rose again from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, and with palms joined, addressed the Buddha, saying, 'World-Honored One! The first watch of the night has passed, the middle watch is about to end, and the Buddha and the assembly of bhikkhus have been sitting here for a long time. We beseech the World-Honored One to speak on the path to liberation.' The World-Honored One remained silent and did not answer. Then, the World-Honored One again sat in silence during the last watch of the night. That one bhikkhu rose for the third time from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, and with palms joined, addressed the Buddha, saying, 'World-Honored One! The first watch has passed, the middle watch has ended, the last watch is drawing to a close, dawn is approaching, and the light will soon appear. The Buddha and the assembly of bhikkhus have been sitting here for a very long time. We beseech the World-Honored One to speak on the path to liberation.' At that time, the World-Honored One told that bhikkhu, 'Among this assembly, there is one bhikkhu who has become impure.' At that time, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana was also in the assembly. Then, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana thought, 'Which bhikkhu is the World-Honored One referring to when he says that there is one bhikkhu in this assembly who has become impure? I should enter the concentration of suchness, and with the mind-reading wisdom of suchness, observe the minds of the assembly.' The venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana then entered the concentration of suchness, and with the mind-reading wisdom of suchness, observed the minds of the assembly. The venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana then knew which bhikkhu the World-Honored One was referring to as having become impure. Then, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana arose from his concentration, went to that bhikkhu, grabbed his arm and pulled him out, opened the door and placed him outside, saying, 'Foolish one, go away, do not stay here any longer. You are no longer a member of the bhikkhu assembly. From now on, you are not a bhikkhu.' He closed the door and locked it, then returned to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying, 'World-Honored One, the bhikkhu whom you said was impure in this assembly, I have already expelled him. World-Honored One! The first watch has passed, the middle watch has ended, the last watch is drawing to a close, dawn is approaching, and the light will soon appear. The Buddha and the assembly of bhikkhus have been sitting here for a very long time. We beseech the World-Honored One to speak on the path to liberation.'
世尊告曰:「大目乾連!彼愚癡人當得大罪,觸嬈世尊及比丘眾。大目乾連,若使如來在不凈眾說從解脫者,彼人則便頭破七分。是故大目乾連!汝等從今已后說從解脫,如來不復說從解脫。所以者何?大目乾連!如彼大海,從下至上,週迴漸廣,均調轉上,以成於岸,其水常滿,未曾流出。大目乾連!我正法、律亦復如是,漸作漸學,漸盡漸教。大目乾連!若我正法、律漸作漸學,漸盡漸教者,是謂我正法、律中未曾有法。
「複次,大目乾連!如大海潮,未曾失時。大目乾連!我正法、律亦復如是,為比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆私施設禁戒,諸族姓子乃至命盡,終不犯戒。大目乾連!若我正法、律為比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆私施設禁戒,諸族姓子乃至命盡,終不犯戒者,是謂我正法、律中未曾有法。
「複次,大目乾連!如大海水,甚深無底,極廣無邊。大目乾連!我正法、律亦復如是,諸法甚深,甚深無底,極廣無邊。大目乾連!若我正法、律諸法甚深,甚深無底,極廣無邊者,是謂我正法、律中未曾有法。
「複次,大目乾連!如海水咸,皆同一味。大目乾連!我正法、律亦復如是,無慾為味,覺味、息味及道味
世尊告訴大目犍連:『那些愚癡的人會得到大罪,他們冒犯了世尊和比丘僧團。大目犍連,如果如來在不凈的僧團中說從解脫,那個人就會頭破七分。所以,大目犍連,你們從今以後說從解脫,如來不再說從解脫。這是為什麼呢?大目犍連,就像大海,從下到上,周圍逐漸擴大,均勻地向上延伸,形成海岸,海水總是滿溢,從未流出。大目犍連,我的正法和戒律也是這樣,逐漸實踐,逐漸學習,逐漸窮盡,逐漸教導。大目犍連,如果我的正法和戒律逐漸實踐,逐漸學習,逐漸窮盡,逐漸教導,這就是我的正法和戒律中前所未有的法。』 『再者,大目犍連,就像大海的潮汐,從未錯過時間。大目犍連,我的正法和戒律也是這樣,為比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷設立戒律,那些善男子善女人乃至生命終結,都不會違犯戒律。大目犍連,如果我的正法和戒律為比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷設立戒律,那些善男子善女人乃至生命終結,都不會違犯戒律,這就是我的正法和戒律中前所未有的法。』 『再者,大目犍連,就像海水,非常深,沒有底,極其廣闊,沒有邊際。大目犍連,我的正法和戒律也是這樣,諸法非常深,深不可測,極其廣闊,沒有邊際。大目犍連,如果我的正法和戒律諸法非常深,深不可測,極其廣闊,沒有邊際,這就是我的正法和戒律中前所未有的法。』 『再者,大目犍連,就像海水是鹹的,都是同一種味道。大目犍連,我的正法和戒律也是這樣,以無慾為味,覺悟之味、寂滅之味以及道之味。』
The World Honored One said to Mahāmaudgalyāyana, 'Those foolish people will incur great demerit, they offend the World Honored One and the assembly of monks. Mahāmaudgalyāyana, if the Tathāgata were to speak of liberation in an impure assembly, that person would have their head split into seven pieces. Therefore, Mahāmaudgalyāyana, from now on you should speak of liberation, the Tathāgata will no longer speak of liberation. Why is that? Mahāmaudgalyāyana, just like the great ocean, from the bottom to the top, gradually expanding around, evenly rising to form the shore, its water is always full, never flowing out. Mahāmaudgalyāyana, my Dharma and Vinaya are also like this, gradually practicing, gradually learning, gradually exhausting, gradually teaching. Mahāmaudgalyāyana, if my Dharma and Vinaya are gradually practiced, gradually learned, gradually exhausted, gradually taught, this is an unprecedented Dharma in my Dharma and Vinaya.' 'Furthermore, Mahāmaudgalyāyana, just like the tides of the great ocean, never missing their time. Mahāmaudgalyāyana, my Dharma and Vinaya are also like this, establishing precepts for monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen, those of good families, even until the end of their lives, will not violate the precepts. Mahāmaudgalyāyana, if my Dharma and Vinaya establish precepts for monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen, those of good families, even until the end of their lives, will not violate the precepts, this is an unprecedented Dharma in my Dharma and Vinaya.' 'Furthermore, Mahāmaudgalyāyana, just like the ocean water, it is very deep, without a bottom, extremely vast, without boundaries. Mahāmaudgalyāyana, my Dharma and Vinaya are also like this, all Dharmas are very deep, unfathomable, extremely vast, without boundaries. Mahāmaudgalyāyana, if my Dharma and Vinaya, all Dharmas are very deep, unfathomable, extremely vast, without boundaries, this is an unprecedented Dharma in my Dharma and Vinaya.' 'Furthermore, Mahāmaudgalyāyana, just like the ocean water is salty, all of the same taste. Mahāmaudgalyāyana, my Dharma and Vinaya are also like this, with non-desire as its taste, the taste of awakening, the taste of cessation, and the taste of the path.'

瞻波經第六竟(一千八百一十四字)
(三八)中阿含未曾有法品郁伽長者經第七(初一日誦)
一時,佛游鞞舍離,住大林中。
爾時,郁伽長者唯婦女侍從,在諸女前從鞞舍離出,于鞞舍離大林中間唯作女妓,娛樂如王。於是郁伽長者飲酒大醉,舍諸婦女,至大林中,郁伽長者飲酒大醉,遙見世尊在林樹間,端正姝好,猶星中月,光耀暐曄,晃若金山,相好具足,威神巍巍,諸根寂定,無有蔽礙,成就調御,息心靜默。彼見佛已,即時醉醒,郁伽長者醉既醒已,便往詣佛,稽首禮足,卻坐一面
現代漢語譯本:大目犍連!如果不能以不動搖的心解脫,那麼對於我的正法和戒律來說,既沒有增加也沒有減少。大目犍連!如果我的正法和戒律中,剎帝利種姓的男子剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信仰捨棄家庭,出家修道,卻不能以不動搖的心解脫,並親自證悟成就,那麼對於我的正法和戒律來說,既沒有增加也沒有減少。同樣,婆羅門種姓、居士種姓、工匠種姓的男子剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信仰捨棄家庭,出家修道,卻不能以不動搖的心解脫,並親自證悟成就,那麼對於我的正法和戒律來說,既沒有增加也沒有減少。大目犍連!如果不能以不動搖的心解脫,那麼對於我的正法和戒律來說,既沒有增加也沒有減少,這就是我的正法和戒律中前所未有的法。」 佛陀如是說。尊者大目犍連和眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《瞻波經》第六完(一千八百一十四字) (三八)《中阿含經·未曾有法品·郁伽長者經》第七(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在毗舍離游化,住在森林中。 當時,郁伽長者只帶著婦女侍從,在眾女之前從毗舍離出來,在毗舍離大林中,只顧著和女伎作樂,像國王一樣享樂。於是郁伽長者喝得酩酊大醉,拋下眾女,來到大林中。郁伽長者醉酒後,遠遠看見世尊在林間樹下,端正美好,如同星辰中的月亮,光芒閃耀,如同金山一般,相貌莊嚴,威儀赫赫,諸根寂靜,沒有遮蔽,成就調御,內心平靜。他看到佛陀后,立刻酒醒了。郁伽長者酒醒后,便前往佛陀處,頂禮佛足,退坐一旁。
English version: 'Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If one does not attain liberation with an unshakeable mind, there is neither increase nor decrease in my Dharma and Discipline. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If a son of a noble family of the Kshatriya caste, having shaved off his hair and beard, donned the saffron robe, and with faith, having left home and gone forth into homelessness to practice the path, does not attain liberation with an unshakeable mind, and does not realize and abide in it himself, there is neither increase nor decrease in my Dharma and Discipline. Similarly, if a son of a noble family of the Brahmin caste, the householder caste, or the artisan caste, having shaved off his hair and beard, donned the saffron robe, and with faith, having left home and gone forth into homelessness to practice the path, does not attain liberation with an unshakeable mind, and does not realize and abide in it himself, there is neither increase nor decrease in my Dharma and Discipline. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If one does not attain liberation with an unshakeable mind, there is neither increase nor decrease in my Dharma and Discipline; this is called an unprecedented teaching in my Dharma and Discipline.' Thus spoke the Buddha. Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The sixth discourse, the Champā Sutta, is concluded (1814 words). (38) The seventh discourse, the Ugga Householder Sutta, from the Unprecedented Teachings Section of the Madhyama Āgama (to be recited on the first day). At one time, the Buddha was wandering in Vesali, staying in the Great Forest. At that time, the householder Ugga, attended only by women, came out of Vesali in front of the women, and in the middle of the Great Forest of Vesali, he was only engaged in revelry with female entertainers, enjoying himself like a king. Then, the householder Ugga, having drunk heavily, abandoned the women and went to the Great Forest. The householder Ugga, drunk, saw the World-Honored One from afar, sitting among the trees in the forest, upright and beautiful, like the moon among the stars, shining brightly, like a golden mountain, with all the marks of a great man, majestic and awe-inspiring, his senses calmed, without any obstruction, accomplished in self-control, and with a peaceful mind. Having seen the Buddha, he immediately sobered up. The householder Ugga, having sobered up, went to the Buddha, bowed down at his feet, and sat down to one side.
爾時,世尊為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已。如諸佛法先說端正法,聞者歡悅,謂說施、說戒、說生天法,毀呰欲為災患,生死為穢,稱歎無慾為妙,道品白凈。世尊為彼說如是法已,佛知彼有歡喜心、具足心、柔軟心、堪耐心、勝上心、一向心、無疑心、無蓋心,有能、有力堪受正法,謂如諸佛說正法要。世尊即為彼說苦、習、滅、道,彼時郁伽長者即于坐中見四聖諦苦、習、滅、道,猶如白素,易染為色,郁伽長者亦復如是,即于坐中見四聖諦苦、習、滅、道。
於是,郁伽長者已見法得法,覺白凈法,斷疑度惑,更無餘尊,不復從他,無有猶豫,已住果證,於世尊法得無所畏,即從坐起,為佛作禮,白曰:「世尊!我今自歸於佛、法及比丘眾,唯愿世尊受我為優婆塞,從今日始,終身自歸,乃至命盡。世尊!我從今日,從世尊自盡形壽,梵行為首,受持五戒。」
郁伽長者從世尊自盡形壽,梵行為首,受持五戒已,稽首佛足,繞三匝而去。還歸其家,即集諸婦人,集已,語曰:「汝等知不?我從世尊自盡形壽,梵行為首,受持五戒,汝等欲得住於此者,便可住此,行施作福,若不欲住者,各自還歸,若汝欲得嫁者,我當嫁汝
當時,世尊為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴望,成就歡喜。用無量的方法為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴望,成就歡喜之後。如同諸佛的教法,先說端正的法,聽者歡喜,即說佈施、持戒、生天之法,斥責慾望為災禍,生死為污穢,稱讚無慾為美妙,道品清凈。世尊為他們說了這樣的法之後,佛知道他們有歡喜心、具足心、柔軟心、堪耐心、勝上心、一心向道的心、無疑心、無蓋障的心,有能力、有力量能夠接受正法,如同諸佛所說的正法要義。世尊就為他們說了苦、集、滅、道四聖諦。當時,郁伽長者就在座位上見到了苦、集、滅、道四聖諦,就像白色的絲綢,容易被染上顏色一樣。郁伽長者也是這樣,就在座位上見到了苦、集、滅、道四聖諦。
於是,郁伽長者已經見法得法,覺悟了清凈的法,斷除了疑惑,度脫了迷惑,不再有其他的尊崇,不再跟隨他人,沒有猶豫,已經安住于果位,在世尊的教法中得到了無所畏懼。他立即從座位上站起來,向佛作禮,說道:『世尊!我現在皈依佛、法和比丘僧眾,唯愿世尊接受我為優婆塞,從今天開始,終身皈依,直到生命結束。世尊!我從今天起,從世尊這裡直到生命結束,以梵行為首,受持五戒。』
郁伽長者從世尊那裡直到生命結束,以梵行為首,受持五戒之後,頂禮佛足,繞佛三圈后離去。回到家中,立即召集所有的妻子,召集完畢后,對她們說:『你們知道嗎?我從世尊那裡直到生命結束,以梵行為首,受持五戒。你們如果想住在這裡的,就可以住在這裡,行佈施,做善事;如果不想住在這裡的,就各自回家。如果你們想嫁人的,我會把你們嫁出去。』
那時,世尊為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求,成就歡喜。用無量方便為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求,成就歡喜后。如同諸佛的教法,先說端正的法,聽者歡喜,即說佈施、持戒、生天之法,斥責慾望為災禍,生死為污穢,稱讚無慾為美妙,道品清凈。世尊為他們說了這樣的法后,佛知道他們有歡喜心、具足心、柔軟心、堪耐心、殊勝心、一心向道的心、無疑心、無蓋障的心,有能力、有力量能夠接受正法,如同諸佛所說的正法要義。世尊就為他們說了苦、集、滅、道四聖諦。當時,郁伽長者就在座位上見到了苦、集、滅、道四聖諦,就像白色的布,容易被染上顏色一樣。郁伽長者也是這樣,就在座位上見到了苦、集、滅、道四聖諦。

At that time, the World Honored One preached the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop longing and achieve joy. He used countless skillful means to preach the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop longing and achieve joy. Like the teachings of all Buddhas, he first spoke of the righteous Dharma, which delighted the listeners, namely, the teachings of giving, morality, and rebirth in heaven. He criticized desire as a calamity, and birth and death as defilement, praising desirelessness as wonderful, and the path factors as pure. After the World Honored One had spoken such Dharma to them, the Buddha knew that they had joyful minds, complete minds, gentle minds, patient minds, superior minds, single-minded minds, doubt-free minds, and unobstructed minds. They had the ability and power to receive the true Dharma, as the essence of the true Dharma spoken by all Buddhas. The World Honored One then spoke to them about the Four Noble Truths of suffering, its cause, its cessation, and the path. At that time, the elder Ugga, while sitting, saw the Four Noble Truths of suffering, its cause, its cessation, and the path, just like white silk, which is easily dyed with color. The elder Ugga was also like this, and while sitting, he saw the Four Noble Truths of suffering, its cause, its cessation, and the path.
Then, the elder Ugga, having seen the Dharma and attained the Dharma, awakened to the pure Dharma, cut off doubts, and transcended confusion. He no longer had any other reverence, no longer followed others, had no hesitation, and had already dwelt in the fruit of realization. In the Dharma of the World Honored One, he had gained fearlessness. He immediately rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, and said: 'World Honored One! I now take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha of monks. May the World Honored One accept me as a lay disciple, from this day forward, taking refuge for life, until the end of my life. World Honored One! From today, from the World Honored One, until the end of my life, I will uphold the five precepts, with celibacy as the foremost practice.'
After the elder Ugga had taken refuge in the World Honored One for life, with celibacy as the foremost practice, and had upheld the five precepts, he bowed at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him three times, and departed. Returning to his home, he immediately gathered all his wives. After gathering them, he said: 'Do you know? I have taken refuge in the World Honored One for life, with celibacy as the foremost practice, and have upheld the five precepts. If you wish to stay here, you may stay here, practice giving, and do good deeds. If you do not wish to stay here, you may each return to your own homes. If you wish to marry, I will marry you off.'
At that time, the World Honored One expounded the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop a thirst for it and to achieve joy. He used countless skillful means to expound the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop a thirst for it and to achieve joy. Like the teachings of all Buddhas, he first spoke of the upright Dharma, which delighted the listeners, namely, the teachings of giving, morality, and rebirth in heaven. He criticized desire as a calamity, and birth and death as defilement, praising desirelessness as wonderful, and the path factors as pure. After the World Honored One had spoken such Dharma to them, the Buddha knew that they had joyful minds, complete minds, gentle minds, patient minds, superior minds, single-minded minds, doubt-free minds, and unobstructed minds. They had the ability and power to receive the true Dharma, as the essence of the true Dharma spoken by all Buddhas. The World Honored One then spoke to them about the Four Noble Truths of suffering, its cause, its cessation, and the path. At that time, the elder Ugga, while sitting, saw the Four Noble Truths of suffering, its cause, its cessation, and the path, just like white cloth, which is easily dyed with color. The elder Ugga was also like this, and while sitting, he saw the Four Noble Truths of suffering, its cause, its cessation, and the path.
於是,最大夫人白郁伽長者:「若尊從佛自盡形壽,梵行為首,受持五戒者,便可以我與彼某甲。」
郁伽長者即為呼彼人,以左手執大夫人臂,右手執金澡罐,語彼人曰:「我今以大夫人與汝作婦。」
彼人聞已,便大恐怖,身毛皆豎,白郁伽長者:「長者!欲殺我耶?欲殺我耶?」
長者答曰:「我不殺汝,然我從佛自盡形壽,梵行為首,受持五戒。是故我以最大夫人與汝作婦耳。」郁伽長者已與大夫人,當與、與時都無悔心。
是時,世尊無量百千大眾圍繞,于中咨嗟稱歎郁伽長者,郁伽長者有八未曾有法。
於是,有一比丘過夜平旦,著衣持缽,往詣郁伽長者家,郁伽長者遙見比丘來,即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向比丘白曰:「尊者善來!尊者久不來此,愿坐此床。」彼時,比丘即坐其床,郁伽長者禮比丘足,卻坐一面。
比丘告曰:「長者!汝有善利,有大功德。所以者何?謂世尊為汝無量百千大眾圍繞,于中咨嗟稱歎,郁伽長者有八未曾有法。長者!汝有何法?」
郁伽長者答比丘曰:「尊者!世尊初不說異,然我不知世尊為何因說?但尊者聽,謂我有法。一時,世尊游鞞舍離,住大林中
於是,大夫人白郁伽長者說:『如果有人能遵從佛陀的教誨,終身持守梵行,以梵行為首要,並受持五戒,我就可以嫁給他。』 郁伽長者立刻叫來那個人,用左手抓住大夫人的手臂,右手拿著金澡罐,對那人說:『我現在把大夫人嫁給你做妻子。』 那人聽了,非常恐懼,渾身汗毛都豎了起來,對郁伽長者說:『長者!您是要殺我嗎?您是要殺我嗎?』 長者回答說:『我不是要殺你,而是我遵從佛陀的教誨,終身持守梵行,以梵行為首要,並受持五戒。所以我才把大夫人嫁給你做妻子。』郁伽長者已經把大夫人給了他,在給的時候和給之後都沒有後悔的心。 當時,世尊被無數百千的大眾圍繞著,在人群中讚歎郁伽長者,說他有八種未曾有過的功德。 這時,有一位比丘在清晨,穿好衣服,拿著缽,來到郁伽長者的家。郁伽長者遠遠地看見比丘來了,立刻從座位上站起來,偏袒著衣服,合掌向比丘說:『尊者您好!尊者您很久沒來了,請坐到這張床上。』當時,比丘就坐到床上,郁伽長者禮拜比丘的腳,然後退到一邊坐下。 比丘告訴他說:『長者!您有善利,有大功德。為什麼這麼說呢?因為世尊被無數百千的大眾圍繞著,在人群中讚歎您,說您有八種未曾有過的功德。長者!您有什麼功德呢?』 郁伽長者回答比丘說:『尊者!世尊最初並沒有說其他的,但我不知道世尊是因為什麼原因說的?請您聽我說,我確實有一些功德。有一次,世尊在毗舍離游化,住在森林中。』
Then, the eldest wife said to Elder Ugga, 'If someone follows the Buddha's teachings, maintains celibacy for life, with celibacy as the priority, and upholds the five precepts, then I can marry him.' Elder Ugga immediately called that person, grasped the eldest wife's arm with his left hand, and holding a golden water pot in his right hand, said to that person, 'I now give you the eldest wife to be your wife.' Upon hearing this, that person was terrified, his hair stood on end, and he said to Elder Ugga, 'Elder! Are you trying to kill me? Are you trying to kill me?' The elder replied, 'I am not trying to kill you, but I follow the Buddha's teachings, maintain celibacy for life, with celibacy as the priority, and uphold the five precepts. That is why I am giving you the eldest wife to be your wife.' Elder Ugga had already given the eldest wife, and had no regrets when giving her or after giving her. At that time, the World Honored One was surrounded by countless hundreds of thousands of people, and among them, they praised Elder Ugga, saying that he had eight unprecedented merits. At this time, a monk, in the early morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and went to Elder Ugga's house. Elder Ugga saw the monk coming from afar, immediately stood up from his seat, adjusted his robe, and with his palms together, said to the monk, 'Venerable one, welcome! Venerable one, you have not come here for a long time, please sit on this bed.' At that time, the monk sat on the bed, and Elder Ugga bowed at the monk's feet, then sat to one side. The monk told him, 'Elder! You have good fortune, you have great merit. Why is that? Because the World Honored One is surrounded by countless hundreds of thousands of people, and among them, they praise you, saying that you have eight unprecedented merits. Elder! What merits do you have?' Elder Ugga replied to the monk, 'Venerable one! The World Honored One did not initially say anything different, but I do not know why the World Honored One said it? Please listen to me, I do have some merits. Once, the World Honored One was traveling in Vaishali, staying in the forest.'
。尊者!我于爾時唯婦女侍從,我最在前出鞞舍離,于鞞舍離大林中間唯作女妓,娛樂如王。尊者!我于爾時飲酒大醉,舍諸婦女,至大林中。尊者!我時大醉,遙見世尊在林樹間,端正姝好,猶星中月,光耀暐曄,晃若金山,相好具足,威神巍巍,諸根寂定,無有蔽礙,成就調御,息心靜默,我見佛已,即時醉醒。尊者!我有是法。」
比丘嘆曰:「長者!若有是法,甚奇!甚特!」
「尊者!我不但有是法,複次,尊者!我醉醒已,便往詣佛,稽首禮足,卻坐一面。世尊為我說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為我說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已。如諸佛法先說端正法,聞者歡悅,謂說施、說戒、說生天法,毀呰欲為災患,生死為穢,稱歎無慾為妙,道品白凈。世尊為我說如是法已,佛知我有歡喜心、具足心、柔軟心、堪耐心、勝上心、一向心、無疑心、無蓋心,有能、有力堪受正法。謂如諸佛說正法要,世尊即為我說苦、習、滅、道。我爾時即于坐中見四聖諦苦、習、滅、道,猶如白素,易染為色,尊者!我亦如是,即于坐中見四聖諦苦、習、滅、道,尊者!我有是法。」
「尊者!我不但有是法
現代漢語譯本:『尊者!那時我只有婦女侍從,我走在最前面離開毗舍離,在毗舍離的大森林中,我只是個妓女,像國王一樣享樂。尊者!那時我喝得酩酊大醉,拋下那些婦女,來到大森林中。尊者!我當時醉得厲害,遠遠地看見世尊在樹林間,端莊美好,像星辰中的月亮,光芒閃耀,如同金山一般,相貌美好,威嚴神聖,諸根寂靜,沒有遮蔽,成就調御,內心平靜沉默。我見到佛后,立刻酒醒了。尊者!我有這樣的經歷。』 比丘讚歎道:『長者!如果有這樣的經歷,真是太神奇了!太特別了!』 『尊者!我不僅有這樣的經歷,而且,尊者!我酒醒后,就去拜見佛陀,頂禮佛足,然後坐在一旁。世尊為我說法,勸導我生起渴望,成就歡喜,用無數方便為我說法,勸導我生起渴望,成就歡喜。就像諸佛的教法一樣,先說端正的法,讓聽者歡喜,然後說佈施、持戒、生天之法,譴責慾望是災禍,生死是污穢,讚歎無慾是美妙的,道品是清凈的。世尊為我說完這些法后,佛知道我有了歡喜心、具足心、柔軟心、堪耐心、勝上心、一心向道的心、無疑心、無蓋心,有能力、有力量接受正法。就像諸佛所說的正法要義一樣,世尊就為我說了苦、集、滅、道。我當時就在座位上見到了四聖諦苦、集、滅、道,就像白色的絲綢,容易被染上顏色一樣。尊者!我也是這樣,就在座位上見到了四聖諦苦、集、滅、道。尊者!我有這樣的經歷。』 『尊者!我不僅有這樣的經歷』
English version: 『Venerable Sir! At that time, I had only women attendants. I was the foremost one leaving Vaishali. In the great forest of Vaishali, I acted as a courtesan, enjoying myself like a king. Venerable Sir! At that time, I was heavily drunk. I abandoned the women and went into the great forest. Venerable Sir! When I was very drunk, I saw the World Honored One from afar, amidst the trees. He was dignified and beautiful, like the moon among the stars, his radiance shining brightly, like a golden mountain. His features were perfect, his majesty awe-inspiring, his senses were tranquil, without any obstruction, accomplished in self-control, his mind peaceful and silent. When I saw the Buddha, I immediately sobered up. Venerable Sir! I have this experience.』 The monk exclaimed: 『Elder! If you have this experience, it is truly amazing! Truly extraordinary!』 『Venerable Sir! Not only do I have this experience, but also, Venerable Sir! After I sobered up, I went to see the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and sat to one side. The World Honored One taught me the Dharma, encouraging me to develop longing, and to achieve joy. He used countless skillful means to teach me the Dharma, encouraging me to develop longing, and to achieve joy. Like the Dharma of all Buddhas, he first spoke of the righteous Dharma, which made the listeners joyful. Then he spoke of giving, of precepts, and of the Dharma of being born in heaven, condemning desire as a calamity, and birth and death as defilement, praising the absence of desire as wonderful, and the path factors as pure. After the World Honored One had spoken these teachings to me, the Buddha knew that I had a joyful mind, a complete mind, a soft mind, a patient mind, a superior mind, a single-minded mind, a mind without doubt, a mind without cover, and that I had the ability and the strength to receive the true Dharma. Just as the essence of the true Dharma spoken by all Buddhas, the World Honored One then spoke to me of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path. At that time, I immediately saw the Four Noble Truths of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path, as easily as white silk is dyed with color. Venerable Sir! I was the same, and immediately saw the Four Noble Truths of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path. Venerable Sir! I have this experience.』 『Venerable Sir! Not only do I have this experience』
。複次,尊者!我見法得法,覺白凈法,斷疑度惑,更無餘尊,不復從他,無有猶豫,已住果證,於世尊法得無所畏。尊者!我爾時即從坐起,稽首佛足:『世尊!我今自歸於佛、法及比丘眾,唯愿世尊受我為優婆塞,從今日始,終身自歸,乃至命盡。世尊!我從今日,從世尊自盡形壽,梵行為首,受持五戒。』尊者!若我從世尊自盡形壽,梵行為首,受持五戒,未曾知己犯戒。尊者!我有是法。」
「尊者!我不但有是法。複次,尊者!我爾時從世尊自盡形壽,梵行為首,受持五戒已,稽首佛足,繞三匝而去,還歸其家,集諸婦女,集已,語曰:『汝等知不?我從世尊自盡形壽,梵行為首,受持五戒,汝等欲得住於此者,便可住此,行施作福,若不欲住者,各自還歸,若汝欲得嫁者,我當嫁汝。』於是,最大夫人來白我曰:『若尊從佛自盡形壽,梵行為首,受持五戒者,便可以我與彼某甲。』尊者!我爾時即為呼彼人,以左手執大夫人臂,右手執金澡罐,語彼人曰:『我今以大夫人與汝作婦。』彼人聞已,便大恐怖,身毛皆豎,而白我曰:『長者欲殺我耶?長者欲殺我耶?』尊者!我語彼曰:『不欲殺汝,然我從佛自盡形壽,梵行為首,受持五戒
現代漢語譯本:『再者,尊者!我親見佛法,領悟清凈之法,斷除疑惑,不再依賴其他尊者,不再聽從他人,心中毫無猶豫,已證得果位,對於世尊的教法毫無畏懼。尊者!那時我便從座位起身,頂禮佛足:『世尊!我今皈依佛、法、僧三寶,唯愿世尊接納我為優婆塞,從今日起,終身皈依,直至生命終結。世尊!我從今日起,在世尊的教導下,終身以梵行為首,受持五戒。』尊者!如果我從世尊那裡終身以梵行為首,受持五戒,我從未曾知道自己犯過戒。尊者!我擁有這樣的修行。』 比丘讚歎道:『長者!若真有這樣的修行,真是太稀奇了!太殊勝了!』 『尊者!我不僅有這樣的修行。再者,尊者!那時我從世尊那裡終身以梵行為首,受持五戒后,頂禮佛足,繞佛三圈后離去,回到家中,召集所有婦女,召集完畢后,對她們說:『你們知道嗎?我已在世尊那裡終身以梵行為首,受持五戒,你們如果想留在這裡的,可以留在這裡,行善積福;如果不想留在這裡的,可以各自回家,如果你們想嫁人的,我會把你們嫁出去。』這時,我的大夫人前來對我說:『如果尊者您已從佛那裡終身以梵行為首,受持五戒,那麼您可以把我嫁給某某。』尊者!那時我便叫來那個人,左手拉著大夫人的手臂,右手拿著金澡罐,對那個人說:『我現在把大夫人嫁給你做妻子。』那人聽后,非常恐懼,汗毛都豎了起來,對我說:『長者您是要殺我嗎?長者您是要殺我嗎?』尊者!我對他說:『我不是要殺你,而是我已從佛那裡終身以梵行為首,受持五戒。』
English version: 'Furthermore, venerable sir! I have seen the Dharma, attained the Dharma, realized the pure Dharma, cut off doubts and confusion, no longer rely on other venerable ones, no longer follow others, have no hesitation, have already attained the fruit of the path, and have no fear in the Buddha's teachings. Venerable sir! At that time, I rose from my seat, bowed at the Buddha's feet: 'World Honored One! I now take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. May the World Honored One accept me as a lay disciple, from this day forward, taking refuge for life, until the end of my life. World Honored One! From this day forward, under the guidance of the World Honored One, I will uphold the five precepts, with celibacy as the foremost practice for life.' Venerable sir! If I have upheld the five precepts with celibacy as the foremost practice for life from the World Honored One, I have never known myself to have broken any precept. Venerable sir! I possess this practice.' The monk exclaimed: 'Elder! If you have such a practice, it is truly amazing! Truly extraordinary!' 'Venerable sir! I not only have this practice. Furthermore, venerable sir! At that time, after I had upheld the five precepts with celibacy as the foremost practice for life from the World Honored One, I bowed at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated the Buddha three times, and left, returning to my home.

At that time, my chief wife came to me and said: 'If you, venerable sir, have upheld the five precepts with celibacy as the foremost practice for life from the Buddha, then you may marry me to so-and-so.' Venerable sir! At that time, I called that person, took the chief wife's arm with my left hand, and held a golden water pitcher with my right hand, and said to that person: 'I now give the chief wife to you as your wife.' Upon hearing this, that person was very frightened, his hair stood on end, and he said to me: 'Elder, do you want to kill me? Elder, do you want to kill me?' Venerable sir! I said to him: 'I do not want to kill you, but I have upheld the five precepts with celibacy as the foremost practice for life from the Buddha.'

郁伽長者白比丘曰:「愿尊在此食。」
比丘為郁伽長者故,默然受請。郁伽長者知彼比丘默然受已,即從坐起,自行澡水,以極凈美種種豐饒食啖含消,自手斟酌,令得飽滿,食訖收器,行澡水竟,持一小床,別坐聽法。比丘為長者說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,從坐起去,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,卻坐一面,謂與郁伽長者本所共論,盡向佛廣說。
於是,世尊告諸比丘:「我以是故,咨嗟稱歎郁伽長者有八未曾有法。」
現代漢語譯本:『尊者!我不是因為相信他人所說,也不是因為喜歡,也不是因為聽聞,而是因為我自己的清凈智慧,知道有如來、無所執著、正等覺的世尊善於說法,如來的聖眾善於修行。尊者!我擁有這樣的法。』 比丘讚歎道:『長者!如果真有這樣的法,真是太奇特了!太殊勝了!』 『尊者!我不僅擁有這樣的法。而且,尊者!佛陀所說的五下分結,即貪慾、嗔恚、身見、戒禁取見、懷疑,這五種煩惱,沒有一種能束縛我,讓我再次回到這個世間,進入胎中。尊者!我擁有這樣的法。』 郁伽長者對那位比丘說:『愿尊者留在這裡用餐。』 比丘因為郁伽長者的邀請,默然接受了。郁伽長者知道比丘默然接受后,就從座位上起身,自己去洗手,然後用極其精美、各種豐盛的食物,讓比丘吃得飽飽的,自己親自斟酌,讓比丘吃得飽滿。吃完后,收拾餐具,洗完手,拿來一張小床,獨自坐下聽法。比丘為長者說法,勸導他生起渴求,成就歡喜,用各種方便為他說法,勸導他生起渴求,成就歡喜后,就從座位起身離去,前往佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐一旁,將與郁伽長者先前所討論的內容,全部向佛陀詳細稟告。 於是,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我因此讚歎郁伽長者擁有八種未曾有法。』 佛陀如此說道。那些比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜奉行。
English version: 'Venerable sir! It is not from faith in others, nor from liking, nor from hearsay, but from my own pure wisdom that I know there is a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Fully Enlightened One, a Blessed One who teaches the Dharma well, and the Tathagata's holy assembly is well-directed. Venerable sir! I possess this Dharma.' The bhikkhu exclaimed: 'Householder! If this is so, it is most wonderful! Most extraordinary!' 'Venerable sir! I not only possess this Dharma. Furthermore, venerable sir! The five lower fetters spoken of by the Buddha, namely, sensual desire, ill-will, personality-belief, attachment to rites and rituals, and doubt—not one of these five binds me to return to this world, to enter a womb. Venerable sir! I possess this Dharma.' The householder Ugga said to the bhikkhu: 'May the venerable one dine here.' The bhikkhu, because of the invitation of the householder Ugga, accepted in silence. The householder Ugga, knowing that the bhikkhu had accepted in silence, rose from his seat, washed his hands himself, and with extremely fine and various abundant foods, had the bhikkhu eat until he was full, personally attending to him, making sure he was satisfied. After eating, he cleared away the dishes, washed his hands, and brought a small seat, sitting separately to listen to the Dharma. The bhikkhu taught the Dharma to the householder, encouraging him to develop longing and achieve joy, using various skillful means to teach him, encouraging him to develop longing and achieve joy. Then, he rose from his seat and departed, going to the Buddha, bowing at his feet, and sitting to one side, he told the Buddha in detail everything that he had discussed with the householder Ugga. Then, the Blessed One said to the bhikkhus: 'It is for this reason that I praise the householder Ugga for possessing eight unprecedented qualities.'

(三九)中阿含未曾有法品郁伽長者經第八(初一日誦)
一時,佛般涅槃后不久,眾多上尊長老比丘游鞞舍離,在獼猴水邊高樓臺觀。
爾時,郁伽長者施設如是大施,謂與遠來客食,與行人、病人、瞻病者食,常設粥食,常設飯食,供給守僧園人,常請二十眾食,五日都請比丘眾食,施設如是大施;復于海中有一泊船,載滿貨還,價直百千,一時沒失。眾多上尊長老比丘聞郁伽長者施設如是大施,謂與遠來客食,與行人、病人、瞻病者食,常設粥食,常設飯食,供給守僧園人,常請二十眾食,五日都請比丘眾食,聞已共作是議:「諸賢!誰能往語郁伽長者:『長者可止!勿復佈施。長者后自當知。』彼作是念:『尊者阿難是佛侍者,受世尊教,佛所稱譽及諸智梵行人,尊者阿難欲往語郁伽長者:「長者可止!勿復佈施,長者后自當知。」』諸賢!我等共往詣尊者阿難所,說如此事
《郁伽長者經》第七完(二千三百二十九字) (三九)《中阿含經·未曾有法品·郁伽長者經》第八(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀般涅槃后不久,許多上座長老比丘在毗舍離游化,住在獼猴水邊的高樓臺觀。 當時,郁伽長者正在進行這樣的大布施,即供養遠道而來的客人食物,供養行路人、病人、照顧病人的人食物,常備粥食,常備飯食,供給看守僧園的人,常請二十位僧人吃飯,每五天都請比丘僧眾吃飯,進行這樣的大布施;又有一艘海船,滿載貨物返回,價值百萬,一時沉沒丟失。許多上座長老比丘聽到郁伽長者正在進行這樣的大布施,即供養遠道而來的客人食物,供養行路人、病人、照顧病人的人食物,常備粥食,常備飯食,供給看守僧園的人,常請二十位僧人吃飯,每五天都請比丘僧眾吃飯,聽后他們共同商議說:『諸位賢者!誰能去告訴郁伽長者:「長者可以停止了!不要再佈施了。長者以後自己會明白的。」』他們這樣想:『尊者阿難是佛陀的侍者,接受世尊的教導,是佛陀所稱讚以及所有有智慧的修行人所稱讚的,尊者阿難可以去告訴郁伽長者:「長者可以停止了!不要再佈施了,長者以後自己會明白的。」』諸位賢者!我們一起去拜訪尊者阿難,向他說明這件事。
The seventh discourse of the Upaka Elder Sutra is completed (2329 characters). (39) The eighth discourse of the Upaka Elder Sutra in the 'Unprecedented Dharma' section of the Madhyama Agama (recited on the first day). At one time, not long after the Buddha's Parinirvana, many venerable elder monks were traveling in Vaishali, staying at the high tower pavilion by the Monkey Water. At that time, the elder Upaka was making such a great offering, namely providing food for guests from afar, providing food for travelers, the sick, and those caring for the sick, always providing porridge, always providing rice, providing for those guarding the monastery, always inviting twenty monks for meals, and every five days inviting the entire monastic community for meals, making such a great offering; also, there was a ship at sea, fully loaded with goods returning, worth a hundred thousand, which was lost at once. Many venerable elder monks heard that the elder Upaka was making such a great offering, namely providing food for guests from afar, providing food for travelers, the sick, and those caring for the sick, always providing porridge, always providing rice, providing for those guarding the monastery, always inviting twenty monks for meals, and every five days inviting the entire monastic community for meals. Having heard this, they discussed together, saying: 'Friends! Who can go and tell the elder Upaka: 'Elder, you can stop! Do not give any more. Elder, you will understand later.' They thought: 'Venerable Ananda is the Buddha's attendant, receiving the World Honored One's teachings, praised by the Buddha and all wise practitioners. Venerable Ananda can go and tell the elder Upaka: 'Elder, you can stop! Do not give any more, Elder, you will understand later.' Friends! Let us go together to visit Venerable Ananda and explain this matter to him.'
於是,眾多上尊長老比丘往詣尊者阿難所,共相問訊,卻坐一面,語曰:「賢者阿難知不?郁伽長者施設如是大施,謂與遠來客食,與行人、病人、瞻病者食,常設粥食,常設飯食,供給守僧園人,常請二十眾食,五日都請比丘眾食,施設如是大施;復于海中有一泊船,載滿貨還,價直百千,一時沒失。我等共作是議,誰能往語郁伽長者而作是語:『長者可止!勿復佈施,長者后自當知。』復作是念:『尊者阿難是佛侍者,受世尊教,佛所稱譽及諸智梵行人,尊者阿難能往語郁伽長者:「長者可止!勿復佈施,長者后自當知。」』賢者阿難可往詣郁伽長者而語彼曰:『長者可止!勿復佈施,長者后自當知。』」
尊者阿難白諸長老上尊比丘曰:「諸尊!郁伽長者其性嚴整,若我自為語者,儻能致大不喜。諸尊!我為誰語?」
諸長老上尊比丘答曰:「賢者!稱比丘眾語,稱比丘眾語已,彼無所言。」尊者阿難便默然受諸長老上尊比丘命。於是,諸長老上尊比丘知尊者阿難默然許已,即從坐起,繞尊者阿難,各自還去。
尊者阿難過夜平旦,著衣持缽,往詣郁伽長者家
現代漢語譯本:於是,許多德高望重的長老比丘前往阿難尊者那裡,互相問候后,在一旁坐下,說道:『賢者阿難,您知道嗎?郁伽長者正在進行如此盛大的佈施,他為遠道而來的客人提供食物,為行人和病人提供食物,照顧病人的人也提供食物,經常提供粥食,經常提供米飯,供給看守僧園的人,經常邀請二十位僧人用餐,每五天都邀請全體比丘僧團用餐,進行如此盛大的佈施;而且,他有一艘滿載貨物的船隻從海上返回,價值數十萬,卻突然沉沒了。我們共同商議,誰能去告訴郁伽長者並這樣說:『長者,可以停止了!不要再佈施了,長者以後自然會明白。』我們又想到:『阿難尊者是佛陀的侍者,接受佛陀的教誨,受到佛陀以及所有智慧梵行者的讚譽,阿難尊者能夠去告訴郁伽長者:「長者,可以停止了!不要再佈施了,長者以後自然會明白。」』賢者阿難,您可以去告訴郁伽長者,並對他說:『長者,可以停止了!不要再佈施了,長者以後自然會明白。』 阿難尊者對各位長老上尊比丘說:『各位尊者!郁伽長者性格嚴厲,如果我以個人名義去說,恐怕會引起他的極大不悅。各位尊者!我應該以誰的名義去說呢?』 各位長老上尊比丘回答說:『賢者!就說是比丘僧團的意思,說是比丘僧團的意思,他就不會說什麼了。』阿難尊者便默許了各位長老上尊比丘的請求。於是,各位長老上尊比丘知道阿難尊者已經默許后,就從座位上起身,繞著阿難尊者,各自回去了。 阿難尊者過了一夜,天亮時,穿上衣服,拿著缽,前往郁伽長者的家。
English version: Then, many venerable elder bhikkhus went to the Venerable Ananda, exchanged greetings, and sat down to one side, saying: 'Venerable Ananda, do you know? The householder Ugga is making such a great offering, providing food for guests from afar, food for travelers and the sick, food for those who care for the sick, regularly providing porridge, regularly providing rice, providing for those who guard the monastery, regularly inviting twenty monks for meals, and every five days inviting the entire bhikkhu sangha for meals, making such a great offering; moreover, a ship of his, laden with goods returning from the sea, worth hundreds of thousands, suddenly sank. We have discussed together who can go and tell the householder Ugga, saying: 'Householder, you can stop! Do not give any more, the householder will understand later.' We also thought: 'Venerable Ananda is the Buddha's attendant, receives the Buddha's teachings, is praised by the Buddha and all wise brahmacaris, Venerable Ananda can go and tell the householder Ugga: 'Householder, you can stop! Do not give any more, the householder will understand later.' Venerable Ananda, you can go to the householder Ugga and say to him: 'Householder, you can stop! Do not give any more, the householder will understand later.' Venerable Ananda said to the venerable elder bhikkhus: 'Venerable ones! The householder Ugga is of a strict nature, if I speak on my own behalf, it might cause great displeasure. Venerable ones! On whose behalf should I speak?' The venerable elder bhikkhus replied: 'Venerable one! Say it is the wish of the bhikkhu sangha, say it is the wish of the bhikkhu sangha, and he will not say anything.' Venerable Ananda then silently accepted the request of the venerable elder bhikkhus. Then, the venerable elder bhikkhus, knowing that Venerable Ananda had silently agreed, rose from their seats, circumambulated Venerable Ananda, and each went back. Venerable Ananda, after the night had passed, at dawn, put on his robes, took his bowl, and went to the house of the householder Ugga.
。郁伽長者遙見尊者阿難來,即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向尊者阿難,白曰:「善來!尊者阿難!尊者阿難久不來此,愿坐此床。」尊者阿難即坐其床,郁伽長者禮尊者阿難足,卻坐一面。
尊者阿難告曰:「長者知不?長者施設如是大施,與遠來客食,與行人、病人、瞻病者食,常設粥食,常設飯食,供給守僧園人,常請二十眾食,五日都請比丘眾食,施設如是大施;復于海中有一泊船,載滿貨還,價直百千,一時沒失。長者可止!勿復佈施,長者后自當知。」
長者白曰:「尊者阿難!為是誰語?」
尊者阿難答曰:「長者!我宣比丘眾語。」
長者白曰:「若尊者阿難宣比丘眾語者,無所復論,若自語者,或能致大不喜。尊者阿難!若我如是舍與,如是惠施,一切財物皆悉竭盡,但使我願滿,如轉輪王愿。」
尊者阿難問曰:「長者云何轉輪王愿?」
長者答曰:「尊者阿難!村中貧人作是念:『令我于村中最富!』即是彼愿。村中富人作是念:『令我於邑中最富!』即是彼愿。邑中富人作是念:『令我于城中最富!』即是彼愿。城中富人作是念:『令我于城中作宗正!』即是彼愿。城中宗正作是念:『令我作國相!』即是彼愿
現代漢語譯本:郁伽長者遠遠看見尊者阿難走來,立刻從座位上起身,袒露右肩,合掌向尊者阿難行禮,說道:『歡迎!尊者阿難!您很久沒來這裡了,請坐這張床。』尊者阿難隨即坐到床上,郁伽長者向尊者阿難的腳行禮,然後退坐到一旁。 尊者阿難說道:『長者您知道嗎?您佈施如此盛大的供養,給遠道而來的客人食物,給行路的人、病人、照顧病人的人食物,經常提供粥飯,供給看守僧園的人,經常請二十位僧人吃飯,每五天都請所有比丘吃飯,佈施如此盛大的供養;而且在海中有一艘船,滿載貨物返回,價值百千,卻一時沉沒。長者您應該停止!不要再佈施了,長者您以後自然會明白。』 長者說道:『尊者阿難!這是誰說的話?』 尊者阿難回答說:『長者!我轉達的是比丘眾的意思。』 長者說道:『如果尊者阿難轉達的是比丘眾的意思,那就沒什麼好說的了,如果是您自己的意思,或許會引起我的不快。尊者阿難!如果我這樣捨棄,這樣佈施,即使所有財產都耗盡,只要能滿足我的願望,就像轉輪王的願望一樣。』 尊者阿難問道:『長者,您說的轉輪王的願望是什麼?』 長者回答說:『尊者阿難!村裡的窮人會想:『讓我成為村裡最富有的人!』這就是他們的願望。村裡的富人會想:『讓我成為邑里最富有的人!』這就是他們的願望。邑里的富人會想:『讓我成為城裡最富有的人!』這就是他們的願望。城裡的富人會想:『讓我成為城裡的宗正!』這就是他們的願望。城裡的宗正會想:『讓我成為國相!』這就是他們的願望。
English version: The elder Ugga, seeing the venerable Ananda coming from afar, immediately rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, and with hands clasped, greeted the venerable Ananda, saying, 'Welcome! Venerable Ananda! You have not come here for a long time, please sit on this bed.' The venerable Ananda then sat on the bed, and the elder Ugga bowed at the feet of the venerable Ananda, then sat to one side. The venerable Ananda said, 'Elder, do you know? You are giving such great offerings, providing food for guests from afar, for travelers, the sick, and those who care for the sick, regularly providing porridge and rice, supplying those who guard the monastery, regularly inviting twenty monks for meals, and every five days inviting all the monks for meals, giving such great offerings; and also, there was a ship at sea, returning full of goods, worth hundreds of thousands, which sank all at once. Elder, you should stop! Do not give any more, elder, you will understand later.' The elder said, 'Venerable Ananda! Whose words are these?' The venerable Ananda replied, 'Elder! I am conveying the words of the monastic community.' The elder said, 'If venerable Ananda is conveying the words of the monastic community, then there is nothing more to discuss, but if it is your own words, it might cause me displeasure. Venerable Ananda! If I give away like this, if I donate like this, even if all my wealth is exhausted, as long as my wish is fulfilled, like the wish of a Chakravartin king.' The venerable Ananda asked, 'Elder, what is the wish of a Chakravartin king that you speak of?' The elder replied, 'Venerable Ananda! The poor in the village think: 『Let me be the richest in the village!』 That is their wish. The rich in the village think: 『Let me be the richest in the town!』 That is their wish. The rich in the town think: 『Let me be the richest in the city!』 That is their wish. The rich in the city think: 『Let me be the chief magistrate in the city!』 That is their wish. The chief magistrate in the city thinks: 『Let me be the prime minister!』 That is their wish.'
。國相作是念:『令我作小王!』即是彼愿。小王作是念:『令我作轉輪王!』即是彼愿。轉輪王作是念:『令我如族姓子所為,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,謂無上梵行訖,令我于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。』即是彼愿。尊者阿難!若我如是舍與,如是惠施,一切財物皆悉竭盡,但使我願滿,如轉輪王愿。尊者阿難!我有是法。」
尊者阿難嘆曰:「長者!若有是法,甚奇!甚持!」
「複次,尊者阿難!我不但有是法。尊者阿難!我詣僧園時,若初見一比丘,便為作禮,若彼比丘經行者,我亦隨經行,若彼坐者,我亦於一面坐,坐已聽法,彼尊為我說法,我亦為彼尊說法,彼尊問我事,我亦問彼尊事,彼尊答我事,我亦答彼尊事。尊者阿難!我未曾憶輕慢上中下長老上尊比丘。尊者阿難!我有是法。」
尊者阿難嘆曰:「長者!若有是法,甚奇,甚持。」
「複次,尊者阿難!我不但有是法。尊者阿難!我在比丘眾行佈施時,天住虛空而告我曰:『長者!此是阿羅訶,此是向阿羅訶,此是阿那含,此是向阿那含,此是斯陀含,此是向斯陀含,此是須陀洹,此是向須陀洹,此是精進,此不精進
"現代漢語譯本:國相心想:『讓我成為一個小國王!』這就是他的願望。小國王心想:『讓我成為轉輪王!』這就是他的願望。轉輪王心想:『讓我像族姓子那樣,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以至誠之心,捨棄家庭,出家修行,學習佛道,達到無上梵行的終點,讓我能在今生今世,自己覺悟,自己證得成就,了脫生死,梵行已立,該做的都已完成,不再受輪迴之苦,如實知曉真理。』這就是他的願望。阿難尊者!如果我能這樣捨棄,這樣佈施,即使一切財物都耗盡,只要能滿足我的願望,就像轉輪王的願望一樣。阿難尊者!我擁有這樣的修行方法。」, "阿難尊者感嘆道:『長者!如果真有這樣的修行方法,真是太稀奇了!太難得了!』", "『還有,阿難尊者!我不僅有這樣的修行方法。阿難尊者!我到僧園時,如果初次見到一位比丘,我就會向他行禮,如果那位比丘在經行,我也會跟著經行,如果他坐著,我也會在一旁坐下,坐下後聽他講法,我也會為他講法,他問我問題,我也會問他問題,他回答我的問題,我也會回答他的問題。阿難尊者!我從未記得輕慢過上座、中座、下座的長老上尊比丘。阿難尊者!我擁有這樣的修行方法。』", "『還有,阿難尊者!我不僅有這樣的修行方法。阿難尊者!我在比丘眾中行佈施時,天神在空中告訴我:『長者!這位是阿羅漢,這位是趨向阿羅漢的,這位是阿那含,這位是趨向阿那含的,這位是斯陀含,這位是趨向斯陀含的,這位是須陀洹,這位是趨向須陀洹的,這位是精進的,這位是不精進的。』" "English version: The state minister thought: 『Let me become a petty king!』 That was his wish. The petty king thought: 『Let me become a wheel-turning king!』 That was his wish. The wheel-turning king thought: 『Let me, like a son of a good family, shave off my hair and beard, put on the monastic robe, with sincere faith, leave home, go forth into homelessness, study the path, reach the end of the unsurpassed holy life, let me in this very life, know for myself, realize for myself, attain and abide in the accomplishment, birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, there is no more coming to any state of being, know as it truly is.』 That was his wish. Venerable Ananda! If I were to give up like this, to bestow like this, even if all my possessions were exhausted, as long as my wish is fulfilled, like the wish of a wheel-turning king. Venerable Ananda! I have this practice.』", "Venerable Ananda exclaimed: 『Layman! If there is such a practice, it is most wonderful! Most rare!』", "『Furthermore, Venerable Ananda! I do not only have this practice. Venerable Ananda! When I go to the monastery, if I see a bhikkhu for the first time, I would bow to him. If that bhikkhu is walking, I would also walk with him. If he is sitting, I would also sit on one side. Having sat down, I would listen to the Dharma. I would also teach the Dharma to him. He would ask me questions, and I would also ask him questions. He would answer my questions, and I would also answer his questions. Venerable Ananda! I have never remembered being disrespectful to senior, middle, or junior elder venerable bhikkhus. Venerable Ananda! I have this practice.』", "『Furthermore, Venerable Ananda! I do not only have this practice. Venerable Ananda! When I am giving alms among the community of bhikkhus, the devas in the sky tell me: 『Layman! This one is an Arhat, this one is on the path to Arhatship, this one is an Anagami, this one is on the path to Anagamiship, this one is a Sakadagami, this one is on the path to Sakadagamiship, this one is a Sotapanna, this one is on the path to Sotapannaship, this one is diligent, this one is not diligent.』"
。』尊者阿難!我施比丘眾時未曾憶有分別意。尊者阿難!我有是法。」
尊者阿難嘆曰:「長者!若有是法,甚奇!甚特!」
「複次,尊者阿難!我不但有是法。尊者阿難!我在比丘眾行佈施時,天住虛空而告我曰:『長者!有如來、無所著、等正覺、世尊善說法,如來聖眾善趣向。』我不從彼天信,不從彼欲樂,不從彼所聞,但我自有凈智,知有如來、無所著、等正覺、世尊善說法,如來聖眾善趣向。尊者阿難!我有是法。」
「複次,尊者阿難!我不但有是法,尊者阿難!我離欲、離惡不善之法,至得第四禪成就游。尊者阿難!我有是法。」
於是,郁伽長者白曰:「尊者阿難!愿在此食。」
尊者阿難為郁伽長者故,默然受請。郁伽長者知尊者阿難默然受已,即從坐起,自行澡水,以極凈美種種豐饒食啖含消,自手斟酌,令得飽滿,食訖收器,行澡水已,取一小床,別坐聽法。尊者阿難為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,從坐起去。
尊者阿難所說如是。郁伽長者聞尊者阿難所說,歡喜奉行
現代漢語譯本:'尊敬的阿難!我佈施給比丘僧團時,從未有過分別心。尊敬的阿難!我擁有這種品質。' 尊敬的阿難感嘆道:'長者!如果真有這種品質,真是太稀奇了!太特別了!' '再者,尊敬的阿難!我不僅有這種品質。尊敬的阿難!當我在佈施給比丘僧團時,天神住在虛空中告訴我:『長者!有如來、阿羅漢、正等覺、世尊善於說法,如來的聖弟子們善於修行。』我不是因為相信天神,不是因為喜歡天神,也不是因為聽了天神的話,而是因為我自己的清凈智慧,知道有如來、阿羅漢、正等覺、世尊善於說法,如來的聖弟子們善於修行。尊敬的阿難!我擁有這種品質。' '再者,尊敬的阿難!我不僅有這種品質,尊敬的阿難!我遠離了慾望,遠離了不善的法,達到了第四禪的成就。尊敬的阿難!我擁有這種品質。' 於是,郁伽長者說道:'尊敬的阿難!請在這裡用餐。' 尊敬的阿難爲了郁伽長者的緣故,默然接受了邀請。郁伽長者知道尊敬的阿難默然接受后,就從座位上起身,自己去洗手,用極其精美豐盛的食物,讓阿難吃得飽飽的,自己親自斟酌,讓阿難吃得飽飽的。吃完后,收拾餐具,洗完手,取來一張小床,坐在一旁聽法。尊敬的阿難為他說法,勸導他生起渴望,成就歡喜,用無量方便為他說法,勸導他生起渴望,成就歡喜后,就從座位上起身離開了。 尊敬的阿難所說的就是這樣。郁伽長者聽了尊敬的阿難所說的話,歡喜地奉行。
English version: 'Venerable Ananda! When I give alms to the monastic community, I have never had a discriminating thought. Venerable Ananda! I possess this quality.' Venerable Ananda exclaimed: 'Householder! If you possess this quality, it is truly amazing! Truly extraordinary!' 'Furthermore, Venerable Ananda! I not only possess this quality. Venerable Ananda! When I was giving alms to the monastic community, a deva dwelling in the sky told me: 『Householder! There is a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Fully Enlightened One, the Blessed One who teaches the Dharma well, and the Tathagata's noble disciples who practice well.』 I did not believe that deva, nor did I desire that deva, nor did I hear from that deva, but through my own pure wisdom, I know that there is a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Fully Enlightened One, the Blessed One who teaches the Dharma well, and the Tathagata's noble disciples who practice well. Venerable Ananda! I possess this quality.' 'Furthermore, Venerable Ananda! I not only possess this quality, Venerable Ananda! I have abandoned desire, abandoned unwholesome states, and attained the accomplishment of the fourth jhana. Venerable Ananda! I possess this quality.' Then, the householder Ugga said: 'Venerable Ananda! Please dine here.' Venerable Ananda, for the sake of the householder Ugga, silently accepted the invitation. The householder Ugga, knowing that Venerable Ananda had silently accepted, rose from his seat, washed his hands himself, and with extremely fine and abundant food, had Ananda eat his fill, personally serving him, ensuring he was full. After eating, he cleared the dishes, washed his hands, and took a small seat, sitting aside to listen to the Dharma. Venerable Ananda taught him the Dharma, encouraging him to generate longing, and to achieve joy. After teaching him the Dharma with countless skillful means, encouraging him to generate longing, and to achieve joy, he rose from his seat and departed. Thus spoke Venerable Ananda. The householder Ugga, having heard what Venerable Ananda had said, joyfully practiced it.

(四〇)中阿含未曾有法品手長者經第九(初一日誦)
一時,佛游阿邏鞞伽邏,在和林中。
爾時,手長者與五百大長者俱,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,卻坐一面,五百長者亦禮佛足,卻坐一面。
世尊告曰:「手長者!汝今有此極大眾,長者!汝以何法攝此大眾?」
彼時手長者白曰:「世尊!謂有四事攝,如世尊說,一者惠施,二者愛言,三者以利,四者等利。世尊!我以此攝於大眾,或以惠施,或以愛言,或以利,或以等利。」
世尊嘆曰:「善哉!善哉!手長者!汝能以如法攝於大眾,又以如門攝於大眾,以如因緣攝於大眾。手長者!若過去有沙門、梵志以如法攝大眾者,彼一切即此四事攝於中或有餘。手長者!若有未來沙門、梵志以如法攝大眾者,彼一切即此四事攝,于中或有餘。手長者!若有現在沙門、梵志以如法攝大眾者,彼一切即此四事攝於中或有餘。」
於是,世尊為手長者說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,默然而住。於是,手長者佛為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,即從坐起,為佛作禮,繞三匝而去,還歸其家
《郁伽長者經》第八篇完(一千七百四十八字)
(四〇)《中阿含經·未曾有法品·手長者經》第九(初一日誦)
一時,佛陀在阿邏鞞伽邏的和林中游化。
當時,手長者與五百位大長者一同前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,退坐一旁,五百位長者也向佛陀頂禮,退坐一旁。
世尊告訴手長者說:『手長者!你現在有如此眾多的隨從,長者!你用什麼方法來統攝這些大眾呢?』
當時,手長者回答說:『世尊!我用四種方法來統攝,正如世尊所說,一是佈施,二是愛語,三是以利益,四是平等利益。世尊!我用這些方法來統攝大眾,有時用佈施,有時用愛語,有時用利益,有時用平等利益。』
世尊讚歎說:『善哉!善哉!手長者!你能夠用如法的方式來統攝大眾,又用如門的方式來統攝大眾,用如因緣的方式來統攝大眾。手長者!如果過去有沙門、婆羅門用如法的方式統攝大眾,他們一切都是用這四種方法來統攝,或者還有其他。手長者!如果有未來沙門、婆羅門用如法的方式統攝大眾,他們一切都是用這四種方法來統攝,或者還有其他。手長者!如果有現在沙門、婆羅門用如法的方式統攝大眾,他們一切都是用這四種方法來統攝,或者還有其他。』
於是,世尊為手長者說法,勸導他生起渴求,成就歡喜,用無量方便為他說法,勸導他生起渴求,成就歡喜后,便默然不語。於是,手長者聽佛說法,生起渴求,成就歡喜后,便從座位起身,向佛陀作禮,繞佛三圈后離去,回到自己的家中。
The End of the Eighth Discourse: The Elder Ugga (1748 characters)
(40) The Ninth Discourse of the Elder Hand, from the Unprecedented Dharma Section of the Middle Length Discourses (Recited on the First Day)
At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Arāveyya, in the forest of the He Tree.
At that time, the Elder Hand, along with five hundred great elders, went to where the Buddha was. They bowed their heads to his feet and sat down to one side. The five hundred elders also bowed to the Buddha's feet and sat down to one side.
The Blessed One said to the Elder Hand, 'Elder Hand! You now have this great assembly. Elder, by what method do you gather this assembly?'
Then the Elder Hand replied, 'Blessed One! I gather them by four things, as the Blessed One has said: first, by giving; second, by kind speech; third, by benefit; and fourth, by equal benefit. Blessed One! I gather the assembly by these means, sometimes by giving, sometimes by kind speech, sometimes by benefit, and sometimes by equal benefit.'
The Blessed One praised him, saying, 'Well done! Well done! Elder Hand! You are able to gather the assembly by lawful means, and also by means of the door, and by means of the cause. Elder Hand! If in the past there were ascetics or brahmins who gathered the assembly by lawful means, they all gathered by these four means, or something more. Elder Hand! If in the future there will be ascetics or brahmins who gather the assembly by lawful means, they all will gather by these four means, or something more. Elder Hand! If now there are ascetics or brahmins who gather the assembly by lawful means, they all gather by these four means, or something more.'
Then, the Blessed One taught the Dharma to the Elder Hand, encouraging him to develop longing and achieve joy. He taught the Dharma with countless skillful means, encouraging him to develop longing and achieve joy, and then remained silent. Then, the Elder Hand, having heard the Buddha's teaching, developed longing and achieved joy. He rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, circumambulated him three times, and departed, returning to his home.
。到外門已,若有人者,盡為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜;中門、內門及入在內,若有人者盡為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,升堂敷床,結跏趺坐,心與慈俱,遍滿一方成就游。如是二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與慈俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。如是悲、喜心與舍俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。
爾時,三十三天集在法堂,咨嗟稱歎手長者:「諸賢!手長者有大善利,有大功德。所以者何?彼手長者,佛為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,即從坐起,為佛作禮,繞三匝而去,還歸其家。到外門已,若有人者盡為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜;中門、內門及入在內,若有人者盡為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,升堂敷床,結加趺坐,心與慈俱,遍滿一方成就游。如是二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與慈俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。如是悲、喜心與舍俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。」
於是,毗沙門大天王色像巍巍,光耀暐曄,夜將向旦,往詣手長者家,告曰:「長者!汝有善利,有大功德
現代漢語譯本:到了外門,如果有人,就為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求和仰慕之心,成就歡喜;到了中門、內門以及進入屋內,如果有人,就為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求和仰慕之心,成就歡喜。之後,登上廳堂,鋪好床鋪,結跏趺坐,心中充滿慈愛,遍滿一方,成就自在的遊行。像這樣,向二方、三方、四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心中充滿慈愛,沒有結縛、沒有怨恨、沒有嗔恚、沒有爭鬥,極其廣大、極其深遠,無量地修習善法,遍滿一切世間,成就自在的遊行。像這樣,心中充滿悲憫、喜悅,以及舍心,沒有結縛、沒有怨恨、沒有嗔恚、沒有爭鬥,極其廣大、極其深遠,無量地修習善法,遍滿一切世間,成就自在的遊行。 當時,三十三天聚集在法堂,讚歎手長者說:『諸位賢者!手長者有很大的善利,有很大的功德。這是為什麼呢?因為手長者,佛為他說法,勸導他生起渴求和仰慕之心,成就歡喜之後,就從座位上起身,向佛作禮,繞佛三圈后離去,回到自己的家中。到了外門,如果有人,就為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求和仰慕之心,成就歡喜;到了中門、內門以及進入屋內,如果有人,就為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求和仰慕之心,成就歡喜。之後,登上廳堂,鋪好床鋪,結跏趺坐,心中充滿慈愛,遍滿一方,成就自在的遊行。像這樣,向二方、三方、四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心中充滿慈愛,沒有結縛、沒有怨恨、沒有嗔恚、沒有爭鬥,極其廣大、極其深遠,無量地修習善法,遍滿一切世間,成就自在的遊行。像這樣,心中充滿悲憫、喜悅,以及舍心,沒有結縛、沒有怨恨、沒有嗔恚、沒有爭鬥,極其廣大、極其深遠,無量地修習善法,遍滿一切世間,成就自在的遊行。』 於是,毗沙門大天王,色相威嚴,光芒閃耀,在夜將要結束的時候,前往手長者的家,告訴他說:『長者!你具有善利,具有大功德。』
English version: Upon reaching the outer gate, if there were people, he would preach the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop longing and admiration, and achieving joy. Upon reaching the middle gate, the inner gate, and entering inside, if there were people, he would preach the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop longing and admiration, and achieving joy. After that, he would ascend to the hall, spread out his bed, sit in the lotus position, his heart filled with loving-kindness, pervading one direction, achieving free movement. In this way, towards two, three, four directions, the four intermediate directions, above and below, universally pervading all, his heart filled with loving-kindness, without bonds, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, extremely profound, immeasurably cultivating good, pervading all the world, achieving free movement. In this way, his heart filled with compassion, joy, and equanimity, without bonds, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, extremely profound, immeasurably cultivating good, pervading all the world, achieving free movement. At that time, the Thirty-three Heavens gathered in the Dharma hall, praising the Elder Hand, saying: 'Virtuous ones! Elder Hand has great benefits, great merits. Why is that? Because Elder Hand, the Buddha preached the Dharma to him, encouraging him to develop longing and admiration, and achieving joy, then he rose from his seat, paid homage to the Buddha, circumambulated the Buddha three times, and left, returning to his home. Upon reaching the outer gate, if there were people, he would preach the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop longing and admiration, and achieving joy. Upon reaching the middle gate, the inner gate, and entering inside, if there were people, he would preach the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop longing and admiration, and achieving joy. After that, he would ascend to the hall, spread out his bed, sit in the lotus position, his heart filled with loving-kindness, pervading one direction, achieving free movement.

In this way, his heart filled with compassion, joy, and equanimity, without bonds, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, extremely profound, immeasurably cultivating good, pervading all the world, achieving free movement.' Then, the Great Heavenly King Vaishravana, with a majestic appearance and radiant light, as the night was about to end, went to the home of Elder Hand and told him: 'Elder! You have good benefits, you have great merits.'
。所以者何?今三十三天為長者集在法堂,咨嗟稱歎:『手長者有大善利,有大功德。所以者何?諸賢!彼手長者,佛為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,即從坐起,為佛作禮,繞三匝而去,還歸其家。到外門已,若有人者盡為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜;中門、內門及入在內,若有人者盡為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,升堂敷床,結加趺坐,心與慈俱,遍滿一方成就游。如是二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與慈俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。如是悲、喜心與舍俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。』」
是時,手長者默然不語,不觀、不視毗沙門大天王。所以者何?以尊重定,守護定故。
爾時,世尊于無量百千眾中,咨嗟稱歎手長者:「手長者有七未曾有法。彼手長者,我為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,即從坐起,為我作禮,繞三匝而去,還歸其家。到外門已,若有人者盡為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜;中門、內門及入在內,若有人者盡為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,升堂敷床,結加趺坐,心與慈俱,遍滿一方成就游
現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?現在三十三天眾神聚集在法堂,讚歎道:『手長者有極大的善利,有極大的功德。這是什麼原因呢?諸位賢者!那位手長者,佛陀為他說法,勸導他生起渴求嚮往之心,成就歡喜之後,就從座位起身,向佛陀作禮,繞佛三圈后離去,回到家中。到了外門,如果有人,就為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求嚮往之心,成就歡喜;中門、內門以及進入屋內,如果有人,就為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求嚮往之心,成就歡喜之後,就登上廳堂鋪好床鋪,結跏趺坐,心中充滿慈愛,遍滿一方,成就自在的遊樂。像這樣,二方、三方、四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心中充滿慈愛,沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒,沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,極其深遠,無量善修,遍滿一切世間,成就自在的遊樂。像這樣,悲心、喜心以及舍心,沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒,沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,極其深遠,無量善修,遍滿一切世間,成就自在的遊樂。』 當時,手長者沉默不語,不看、不注視毗沙門大天王。這是什麼原因呢?因為他尊重禪定,守護禪定的緣故。 這時,世尊在無量百千大眾中,讚歎手長者:『手長者有七種未曾有之法。那位手長者,我為他說法,勸導他生起渴求嚮往之心,成就歡喜之後,就從座位起身,向我作禮,繞我三圈后離去,回到家中。到了外門,如果有人,就為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求嚮往之心,成就歡喜;中門、內門以及進入屋內,如果有人,就為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求嚮往之心,成就歡喜之後,就登上廳堂鋪好床鋪,結跏趺坐,心中充滿慈愛,遍滿一方,成就自在的遊樂。
English version: What is the reason for this? Now, the thirty-three gods are gathered in the Dharma hall, praising and exclaiming: 『Elder Hand has great benefits and great merits. What is the reason for this? O virtuous ones! That Elder Hand, after the Buddha preached the Dharma to him, encouraging him to develop longing and aspiration, and achieving joy, immediately rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, circumambulated him three times, and departed, returning to his home. Upon reaching the outer gate, if there were people, he would preach the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop longing and aspiration, and achieving joy; at the middle gate, the inner gate, and upon entering the house, if there were people, he would preach the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop longing and aspiration, and achieving joy. Then, he would ascend the hall, spread out his bed, sit in the lotus position, his mind filled with loving-kindness, pervading one direction, achieving free and easy wandering. Likewise, in the second, third, and fourth directions, the four intermediate directions, above and below, universally pervading all, his mind filled with loving-kindness, without fetters, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, extremely profound, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world, achieving free and easy wandering. Likewise, with compassion, joy, and equanimity, without fetters, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, extremely profound, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world, achieving free and easy wandering.』 At that time, Elder Hand remained silent, not looking at or gazing upon the Great Heavenly King Vaishravana. What was the reason for this? It was because he respected and guarded his samadhi. Then, the World Honored One, among the immeasurable hundreds of thousands of people, praised Elder Hand: 『Elder Hand has seven unprecedented qualities. That Elder Hand, after I preached the Dharma to him, encouraging him to develop longing and aspiration, and achieving joy, immediately rose from his seat, bowed to me, circumambulated me three times, and departed, returning to his home. Upon reaching the outer gate, if there were people, he would preach the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop longing and aspiration, and achieving joy; at the middle gate, the inner gate, and upon entering the house, if there were people, he would preach the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop longing and aspiration, and achieving joy. Then, he would ascend the hall, spread out his bed, sit in the lotus position, his mind filled with loving-kindness, pervading one direction, achieving free and easy wandering.

「『於是,毗沙門大天王色像巍巍,光耀暐曄,夜將向旦,詣手長者家,告曰:「長者!汝有善利,有大功德。所以者何?今三十三天為手長者集在法堂,咨嗟稱歎:『手長者有大善利,有大功德。所以者何?諸賢!彼手長者,佛為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,即從坐起,為佛作禮,繞三匝而去,還歸其家

'If (his) compassion, joy, and equanimity arise together, without bonds, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, extremely profound, immeasurably cultivating good deeds, pervading all the world, achieving free movement.' 'Now the thirty-three gods are gathered in the Dharma hall, praising and saying: 'Elder Hand has great benefit, great merit. What is the reason for this? O virtuous ones! That Elder Hand, the Buddha preached to him, encouraged him to arouse longing and admiration, and after achieving joy, he immediately rose from his seat, paid homage to the Buddha, circled him three times, and left, returning to his home. Upon reaching the outer gate, if there were people, he would preach to them, encouraging them to arouse longing and admiration, and achieve joy; upon reaching the middle gate, the inner gate, and entering the house, if there were people, he would preach to them, encouraging them to arouse longing and admiration, and after achieving joy, he would ascend to the hall, lay out his bed, sit in full lotus posture, his heart filled with loving-kindness, pervading one direction, achieving free movement, and in this way pervading two, three, four directions, the four intermediate directions, above and below, universally pervading all, his heart filled with loving-kindness, without bonds, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, extremely profound, immeasurably cultivating good deeds, pervading all the world, achieving free movement. In this way, (his) compassion, joy, and equanimity arise together, without bonds, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, extremely profound, immeasurably cultivating good deeds, pervading all the world, achieving free movement.' 'At this time, the great heavenly king Vaishravana, with a majestic appearance and radiant light, as the night was about to end and dawn was about to arrive, came to the home of Elder Hand and told him: 'Elder! You have great benefit, great merit. What is the reason for this? Now the thirty-three gods have gathered in the Dharma hall for Elder Hand, praising and saying: 'Elder Hand has great benefit, great merit. What is the reason for this? O virtuous ones! That Elder Hand, the Buddha preached to him, encouraged him to arouse longing and admiration, and after achieving joy, he immediately rose from his seat, paid homage to the Buddha, circled him three times, and left, returning to his home.'
。到外門已,若有人者盡為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜;中門、內門及入在內,若有人者盡為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,升堂敷床,結加趺坐,心與慈俱,遍滿一方成就游。如是二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與慈俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。如是悲、喜心與舍俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。』」是時,手長者默然不語,亦不觀視毗沙門大天王。所以者何?以尊重定、守護定故。』」
於是,手長者白比丘曰:「尊者!是時無白衣耶?」
比丘答曰:「無白衣也。」又問曰:「若有白衣者,當有何咎?」
長者答曰:「尊者!或有不信世尊語者,彼當長夜不義不忍,生極惡處,受苦無量。若有信佛語者,彼因此事故,便能尊重恭敬禮事我。尊者!我亦不欲令爾也。尊者!愿在此食。」
彼比丘為手長者故,默然受請。手長者知彼比丘默然受已,即從坐起,自行澡水,以極凈美種種豐饒食啖含消,自手斟酌,令得飽滿,食訖收器,行澡水已,取一小床,別坐聽法
現代漢語譯本:到了外門,如果有人的話,就都為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求嚮往之心,成就歡喜;中門、內門以及進入到裡面,如果有人的話,就都為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求嚮往之心,成就歡喜之後,就登上講堂鋪好床,結跏趺坐,心中充滿慈愛,遍滿一方,成就遊行。像這樣,二方、三方、四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心中充滿慈愛,沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有嗔恚,沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,極其深遠,無量善修,遍滿一切世間,成就遊行。像這樣,悲心、喜心,心中充滿舍心,沒有結縛,沒有怨恨,沒有嗔恚,沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,極其深遠,無量善修,遍滿一切世間,成就遊行。』這時,手長者沉默不語,也不看毗沙門大天王。這是為什麼呢?因為他尊重禪定,守護禪定的緣故。』 於是,手長者對比丘說:『尊者!那時沒有在家居士嗎?』 比丘回答說:『沒有在家居士。』又問:『如果有在家居士,會有什麼過失呢?』 長者回答說:『尊者!或許有人不相信世尊的話,他們將長夜處於不義不忍的狀態,生於極惡之處,遭受無量的痛苦。如果有人相信佛的話,他們會因此事而尊重恭敬地禮待我。尊者!我也不希望那樣。尊者!希望您在這裡用餐。』 那位比丘爲了手長者的緣故,默然接受了邀請。手長者知道那位比丘默然接受后,就從座位上站起來,自己去洗手,用極其乾淨美好的各種豐盛食物,讓比丘吃得飽足,自己斟酌,讓比丘吃飽,吃完后收起餐具,洗完手,取來一張小床,另外坐下聽法。
English version: 'Having reached the outer gate, if there are people, he would preach the Dharma to all of them, encouraging them to develop longing and aspiration, and to achieve joy. At the middle gate, the inner gate, and upon entering within, if there are people, he would preach the Dharma to all of them, encouraging them to develop longing and aspiration, and to achieve joy. Then, he would ascend the hall, spread out a mat, sit in the lotus position, his mind filled with loving-kindness, pervading one direction, accomplishing his practice. Likewise, in the second, third, and fourth directions, above and below, universally encompassing all, his mind filled with loving-kindness, without fetters, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, extremely profound, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world, accomplishing his practice. Likewise, with compassion, joy, and equanimity, his mind filled with equanimity, without fetters, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, extremely profound, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world, accomplishing his practice.』 At that time, the elder Hand remained silent and did not look at the great heavenly king Vaisravana. Why was this? Because he respected and guarded his meditative state.』 Then, the elder Hand said to the monk, 『Venerable one! At that time, were there no laypeople?』 The monk replied, 『There were no laypeople.』 He further asked, 『If there were laypeople, what fault would there be?』 The elder replied, 『Venerable one! Perhaps there are those who do not believe the words of the World Honored One. They would spend long nights in unrighteousness and intolerance, be born in extremely evil places, and suffer immeasurable pain. If there are those who believe the Buddha』s words, they would, because of this, respect, revere, and honor me. Venerable one! I do not wish for that either. Venerable one! I wish you would eat here.』 For the sake of the elder Hand, the monk silently accepted the invitation. The elder Hand, knowing that the monk had silently accepted, then rose from his seat, washed his hands himself, and with extremely clean and delicious various abundant foods, he let the monk eat his fill, personally serving him, ensuring he was full. After the meal, he cleared the dishes, washed his hands, and brought a small bed, sitting separately to listen to the Dharma.
。彼比丘為手長者說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,從坐起去,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,卻坐一面,謂與手長者本所共論盡向佛說。
於是,世尊告諸比丘:「我以是故,稱說手長者有七未曾有法。複次汝等當知,手長者復有第八未曾有法,手長者無求無慾。」
手長者經第九竟(二千六百五十八字)
(四一)中阿含未曾有法品手長者經第十(初一日誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「手長者有八未曾有法。云何為八?手長者有少欲、有信、有慚、有愧、有精進、有念、有定、有慧。手長者有少欲者,此何因說?手長者自少欲,不欲令他知我少欲,有信、有慚、有愧、有精進、有念、有定、有慧,手長者自有慧,不欲令他知我有慧。手長者有少欲者,因此故說。
「手長者有信者,此何因說?手長者得信堅固,深著如來,信根已立,終不隨外沙門、梵志、若天、魔、梵及余世間。手長者有信者,因此故說。
「手長者有慚者,此何因說?手長者常行慚恥,可慚知慚,惡不善法、穢污煩惱受諸惡報,造生死本
那位比丘為手長者說法,勸導他生起渴望,成就歡喜。用無量的方法為他說法,勸導他生起渴望,成就歡喜后,便從座位起身離去,前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,然後退坐在一旁,將之前與手長者討論的內容全部告訴了佛陀。 於是,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我因此才說手長者有七種未曾有之法。此外,你們應當知道,手長者還有第八種未曾有之法,那就是手長者無所求無所欲。』 佛陀如此說道。那些比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 《手長者經》第九篇結束(二千六百五十八字) (四一)《中阿含經·未曾有法品·手長者經》第十(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在阿邏鞞伽邏的森林中游化。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『手長者有八種未曾有之法。哪八種呢?手長者少欲、有信、有慚、有愧、有精進、有念、有定、有慧。手長者少欲,這是什麼原因說的呢?手長者自己少欲,卻不希望別人知道他少欲。他有信、有慚、有愧、有精進、有念、有定、有慧,手長者自己有智慧,卻不希望別人知道他有智慧。手長者少欲,因此才這樣說。 『手長者有信,這是什麼原因說的呢?手長者獲得堅固的信心,深深地信賴如來,信根已經建立,最終不會跟隨外道沙門、婆羅門,也不會跟隨天、魔、梵天以及其他世間。手長者有信,因此才這樣說。 『手長者有慚,這是什麼原因說的呢?手長者常常感到慚愧,知道什麼是可慚愧的,對於惡不善法、污穢的煩惱以及由此而來的惡報,以及造作生死輪迴的根本,
That bhikkhu, having taught the householder Hand, encouraged him to develop longing and achieve joy. After teaching him with countless skillful means, encouraging him to develop longing and achieve joy, he rose from his seat and departed, going to where the Buddha was. He bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, sat down to one side, and told the Buddha everything he had discussed with the householder Hand. Then, the Blessed One said to the bhikkhus: 'It is for this reason that I say the householder Hand has seven unprecedented qualities. Furthermore, you should know that the householder Hand has an eighth unprecedented quality: the householder Hand is without seeking and without desire.' Thus spoke the Buddha. Those bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The ninth discourse of the 'Hand' sutra ends (2,658 words). (41) The tenth discourse of the 'Hand' sutra from the 'Unprecedented Qualities' section of the Madhyama Agama (recited on the first day) At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the forest of Arāḷī, in the land of Āḷavī. At that time, the Blessed One said to the bhikkhus: 'The householder Hand has eight unprecedented qualities. What are the eight? The householder Hand has few desires, has faith, has shame, has remorse, has diligence, has mindfulness, has concentration, and has wisdom. Why is it said that the householder Hand has few desires? The householder Hand himself has few desires, but he does not want others to know that he has few desires. He has faith, has shame, has remorse, has diligence, has mindfulness, has concentration, and has wisdom. The householder Hand himself has wisdom, but he does not want others to know that he has wisdom. It is for this reason that it is said that the householder Hand has few desires.' 'Why is it said that the householder Hand has faith? The householder Hand has obtained firm faith, deeply trusts the Tathagata, his root of faith is established, and he will never follow external ascetics, brahmins, gods, demons, Brahmas, or any other in the world. It is for this reason that it is said that the householder Hand has faith.' 'Why is it said that the householder Hand has shame? The householder Hand always feels shame, knows what is shameful, and is ashamed of evil and unwholesome actions, defiled afflictions, and the evil consequences that come from them, as well as the root of the cycle of birth and death,
。手長者有慚者,因此故說。
「手長者有愧者,此何因說?手長者常行羞愧,可愧知愧,惡不善法,穢污煩惱受諸惡報,造生死本。手長者有愧者,因此故說。
「手長者有精進者,此何因說?手長者常行精進,除惡不善,修諸善法,恒自起意,專一堅固,為諸善本,不捨方便。手長者有精進者,因此故說。
「手長者有念者,此何因說?手長者觀內身如身,觀內覺、心、法如法。手長者有念者,因此故說。
「手長者有定者,此何因說?手長者離欲、離惡不善之法,至得第四禪成就游。手長者有定者,因此故說。
「手長者有慧者,此何因說?手長者修行智慧,觀興衰法,得如此智,聖慧明達,分別曉了,以正盡苦。手長者有慧者,因此故說。手長者有八未曾有法者,因此故說。」
『手長』的人有慚愧之心,因此這樣說。 『手長』的人有慚愧之心,這是什麼原因說的呢?『手長』的人常常感到羞愧,知道什麼是可恥的,厭惡不善的行為,厭惡污穢的煩惱,承受各種惡報,造作生死輪迴的根本。『手長』的人有慚愧之心,因此這樣說。 『手長』的人有精進之心,這是什麼原因說的呢?『手長』的人常常精進努力,去除惡和不善,修習各種善法,經常自己發起意願,專一而堅定,作為各種善行的根本,不放棄方便之法。『手長』的人有精進之心,因此這樣說。 『手長』的人有正念,這是什麼原因說的呢?『手長』的人觀察自己的身體如同身體,觀察自己的感受、心念、法如同法。『手長』的人有正念,因此這樣說。 『手長』的人有禪定,這是什麼原因說的呢?『手長』的人遠離慾望,遠離惡和不善之法,最終達到第四禪的成就並安住其中。『手長』的人有禪定,因此這樣說。 『手長』的人有智慧,這是什麼原因說的呢?『手長』的人修行智慧,觀察事物興衰的規律,獲得這樣的智慧,聖潔的智慧明亮通達,能夠分辨清楚,用正道來徹底消除痛苦。『手長』的人有智慧,因此這樣說。『手長』的人有八種未曾有之法,因此這樣說。
Those with 『long hands』 have a sense of shame, therefore it is said. Those with 『long hands』 have a sense of shame, what is the reason for saying this? Those with 『long hands』 often feel ashamed, know what is shameful, detest unwholesome actions, detest defiled afflictions, endure various evil retributions, and create the root of the cycle of birth and death. Those with 『long hands』 have a sense of shame, therefore it is said. Those with 『long hands』 have diligence, what is the reason for saying this? Those with 『long hands』 often practice diligence, eliminate evil and unwholesome things, cultivate various wholesome practices, constantly initiate their own intentions, are focused and firm, as the root of all good deeds, and do not abandon skillful means.

Ananda, if there is the absence of desire, then one obtains liberation from all lust, anger, and delusion. Therefore, Ananda, because of upholding precepts, one obtains no remorse; because of no remorse, one obtains joy; because of joy, one obtains delight; because of delight, one obtains cessation; because of cessation, one obtains joy; because of joy, one obtains concentration. Ananda, a well-learned noble disciple, because of concentration, sees things as they truly are and knows the truth; because of seeing things as they truly are and knowing the truth, one obtains aversion; because of aversion, one obtains the absence of desire; because of the absence of desire, one obtains liberation; because of liberation, one knows one is liberated, birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, there is no more rebirth, and one knows the truth.'

爾時,世尊告曰:「阿難!持戒者不應思,令我不悔。阿難!但法自然,持戒者便得不悔。阿難!有不悔者不應思,令我歡悅。阿難!但法自然,有不悔者便得歡悅。阿難!有歡悅者不應思,令我喜。阿難!但法自然,有歡悅者便得喜。阿難!有喜者不應思,令我止。阿難!但法自然,有喜者便得止身。阿難!有止者不應思,令我樂。阿難!但法自然,有止者便得覺樂。阿難!有樂者不應思,令我定。阿難!但法自然,有樂者便得定心。阿難!有定者不應思,令我見如實、知如真。阿難!但法自然,有定者便得見如實、知如真。阿難!有見如實、知如真者不應思,令我厭。阿難!但法自然,有見如實、知如真者便得厭。阿難!有厭者不應思,令我無慾。阿難!但法自然,有厭者便得無慾。阿難!有無慾者不應思,令我解脫。阿難!但法自然,有無慾者便得解脫一切淫、怒、癡
現代漢語譯本:阿難!這就是法與法之間相互增益,法與法之間相互依存的關係。如此,持戒便能趨向第一,也就是度過此岸,到達彼岸。 佛陀如是說。尊者阿難以及眾比丘,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《何義經》第一部分結束(五百二十九字) (四三)《中阿含經·習相應品·不思經》第二(初一日誦) 當時,世尊告訴阿難:『阿難!持戒的人不應該想,要讓我不後悔。阿難!只是法爾如是,持戒的人自然就會不後悔。阿難!不後悔的人不應該想,要讓我歡悅。阿難!只是法爾如是,不後悔的人自然就會歡悅。阿難!歡悅的人不應該想,要讓我喜樂。阿難!只是法爾如是,歡悅的人自然就會喜樂。阿難!喜樂的人不應該想,要讓我身止。阿難!只是法爾如是,喜樂的人自然就會身止。阿難!身止的人不應該想,要讓我快樂。阿難!只是法爾如是,身止的人自然就會覺樂。阿難!快樂的人不應該想,要讓我入定。阿難!只是法爾如是,快樂的人自然就會心定。阿難!入定的人不應該想,要讓我如實見、如實知。阿難!只是法爾如是,入定的人自然就會如實見、如實知。阿難!如實見、如實知的人不應該想,要讓我厭離。阿難!只是法爾如是,如實見、如實知的人自然就會厭離。阿難!厭離的人不應該想,要讓我無慾。阿難!只是法爾如是,厭離的人自然就會無慾。阿難!無慾的人不應該想,要讓我解脫。阿難!只是法爾如是,無慾的人自然就會解脫一切淫慾、嗔怒、愚癡。』
English version: 'Ananda! This is how dharma benefits dharma, and dharma is dependent on dharma. Thus, this precept leads to the ultimate, which is to cross this shore and reach the other shore.' The Buddha spoke thus. Venerable Ananda and the other monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The end of the first section of the 'What is the Meaning' Sutra (529 words) (43) The Second Sutra of the 'Not Thinking' in the 'Practice-Related' Chapter of the Middle Length Discourses (Recited on the first day) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Savatthi, residing in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, the World Honored One said to Ananda: 'Ananda! One who observes the precepts should not think, 'May I not have remorse.' Ananda! It is simply the nature of dharma that one who observes the precepts naturally has no remorse. Ananda! One who has no remorse should not think, 'May I have joy.' Ananda! It is simply the nature of dharma that one who has no remorse naturally has joy. Ananda! One who has joy should not think, 'May I have gladness.' Ananda! It is simply the nature of dharma that one who has joy naturally has gladness. Ananda! One who has gladness should not think, 'May I have tranquility.' Ananda! It is simply the nature of dharma that one who has gladness naturally has tranquility of body. Ananda! One who has tranquility should not think, 'May I have pleasure.' Ananda! It is simply the nature of dharma that one who has tranquility naturally experiences pleasure. Ananda! One who has pleasure should not think, 'May I have concentration.' Ananda! It is simply the nature of dharma that one who has pleasure naturally has concentration of mind. Ananda! One who has concentration should not think, 'May I see things as they truly are, and know things as they truly are.' Ananda! It is simply the nature of dharma that one who has concentration naturally sees things as they truly are, and knows things as they truly are. Ananda! One who sees things as they truly are, and knows things as they truly are, should not think, 'May I have aversion.' Ananda! It is simply the nature of dharma that one who sees things as they truly are, and knows things as they truly are, naturally has aversion. Ananda! One who has aversion should not think, 'May I be without desire.' Ananda! It is simply the nature of dharma that one who has aversion naturally is without desire. Ananda! One who is without desire should not think, 'May I be liberated.' Ananda! It is simply the nature of dharma that one who is without desire naturally is liberated from all lust, anger, and delusion.'
「阿難!是為因持戒便得不悔,因不悔便得歡悅,因歡悅便得喜,因喜便得止,因止便得樂,因樂便得定心。阿難!多聞聖弟子有定心者便見如實、知如真,因見如實、知如真便得厭,因厭便得無慾,因無慾便得解脫,因解脫便知解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。阿難!是為法法相益,法法相因,如是此戒趣至第一,謂度此岸,得至彼岸。」

(四四)中阿含習相應品唸經第三(初一日誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘多忘無正智,便害正念正智;若無正念正智,便害護諸根、護戒、不悔、歡悅、喜、止、樂、定、見如實、知如真、厭、無慾、解脫;若無解脫,便害涅槃。若比丘不多忘有正智,便習正念正智;若有正念正智,便習護諸根、護戒、不悔、歡悅、喜、止、樂、定、見如實、知如真、厭、無慾、解脫;若有解脫,便習涅槃。」
『阿難!這是因為持戒才能不後悔,因為不後悔才能歡悅,因為歡悅才能喜樂,因為喜樂才能止息,因為止息才能快樂,因為快樂才能心定。阿難!多聞的聖弟子有了定心,就能如實地看見、如實地知道,因為如實地看見、如實地知道,就能厭離,因為厭離就能無慾,因為無慾就能解脫,因為解脫就能知道自己已經解脫,知道生死已盡,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,不再受後有,如實地知道。阿難!這就是法與法之間互相增益,法與法之間互相因循,這樣,戒律就能達到第一,也就是度過此岸,到達彼岸。』 佛陀這樣說。尊者阿難和眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 《不思經》第二完(四百五十個字) (四四)《中阿含經·習相應品·唸經》第三(初一日誦) 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘多忘失而沒有正智,就會損害正念正智;如果沒有正念正智,就會損害守護諸根、守護戒律、不後悔、歡悅、喜樂、止息、快樂、禪定、如實地看見、如實地知道、厭離、無慾、解脫;如果沒有解脫,就會損害涅槃。如果比丘不多忘失而有正智,就會修習正念正智;如果有正念正智,就會修習守護諸根、守護戒律、不後悔、歡悅、喜樂、止息、快樂、禪定、如實地看見、如實地知道、厭離、無慾、解脫;如果有解脫,就會修習涅槃。』 佛陀這樣說。那些比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。
'Ananda! It is because of upholding precepts that one obtains no remorse; because of no remorse, one obtains joy; because of joy, one obtains gladness; because of gladness, one obtains tranquility; because of tranquility, one obtains happiness; because of happiness, one obtains a concentrated mind. Ananda! A well-learned noble disciple, having a concentrated mind, sees things as they truly are and knows things as they truly are. Because of seeing things as they truly are and knowing things as they truly are, one obtains aversion; because of aversion, one obtains non-desire; because of non-desire, one obtains liberation; because of liberation, one knows one is liberated, knowing that birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what needs to be done is done, there is no more future existence, knowing this as it truly is. Ananda! This is how dharma benefits dharma, how dharma is the cause of dharma. Thus, these precepts lead to the highest, which is crossing this shore to reach the other shore.' The Buddha spoke thus. Venerable Ananda and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The end of the second chapter of the 'Inconceivable Sutra' (450 words) (44) The third sutra of the 'Mindfulness Sutra' in the 'Practice-Related Chapter' of the 'Middle Length Discourses' (recited on the first day) At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'If a monk is often forgetful and lacks right wisdom, he harms right mindfulness and right wisdom; if there is no right mindfulness and right wisdom, he harms guarding the senses, guarding the precepts, no remorse, joy, gladness, tranquility, happiness, concentration, seeing things as they truly are, knowing things as they truly are, aversion, non-desire, liberation; if there is no liberation, he harms Nirvana. If a monk is not often forgetful and has right wisdom, he cultivates right mindfulness and right wisdom; if there is right mindfulness and right wisdom, he cultivates guarding the senses, guarding the precepts, no remorse, joy, gladness, tranquility, happiness, concentration, seeing things as they truly are, knowing things as they truly are, aversion, non-desire, liberation; if there is liberation, he cultivates Nirvana.'

(45) The Fourth Shame and Remorse Sutra of the Practice Correspondence Chapter in the Middle Length Discourses (Recited on the first day of each month)
At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Savatthi, residing in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.
At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu has no shame and remorse, he will harm love and respect; if there is no love and respect, he will harm his faith; if there is no faith, he will harm right thinking; if there is no right thinking, he will harm right mindfulness and right wisdom; if there is no right mindfulness and right wisdom, he will harm guarding the senses, guarding the precepts, non-regret, joy, happiness, cessation, bliss, concentration, seeing things as they are, knowing things as they truly are, aversion, non-desire, and liberation. If there is no liberation, he will harm Nirvana. If a bhikkhu has shame and remorse, he will practice love and respect; if there is love and respect, he will practice faith; if there is faith, he will practice right thinking; if there is right thinking, he will practice right mindfulness and right wisdom; if there is right mindfulness and right wisdom, he will practice guarding the senses, guarding the precepts, non-regret, joy, happiness, cessation, bliss, concentration, seeing things as they are, knowing things as they truly are, aversion, non-desire, and liberation; if there is liberation, he will practice Nirvana.'

(46) The Fifth Shame and Remorse Sutra of the Practice Correspondence Chapter in the Middle Length Discourses (Recited on the first day of each month)
爾時,尊者舍梨子告諸比丘:「諸賢!若比丘無慚無愧,便害愛恭敬;若無愛恭敬,便害其信;若無其信,便害正思惟;若無正思惟,便害正念正智;若無正念正智,便害護諸根、護戒、不悔、歡悅、喜、止、樂、定、見如實、知如真、厭、無慾、解脫;若無解脫,便害涅槃。諸賢!猶如有樹,若害外皮,則內皮不成,內皮不成,則莖、干、心、節、枝、葉、華、實皆不得成。諸賢!當知比丘亦復如是,若無慚無愧,便害愛恭敬;若無愛恭敬,便害其信;若無其信,便害正思惟;若無正思惟,便害正念正智;若無正念正智,便害護諸根、護戒、不悔、歡悅、喜、止、樂、定、見如實、知如真、厭、無慾、解脫;若無解脫,便害涅槃。
「諸賢!若比丘有慚有愧,便習愛恭敬;若有愛恭敬,便習其信;若有其信,便習正思惟;若有正思惟,便習正念正智;若有正念正智,便習護諸根、護戒、不悔、歡悅、喜、止、樂、定、見如實、知如真、厭、無慾、解脫;若有解脫,便習涅槃。諸賢!猶如有樹,不害外皮,則內皮得成,內皮得成,則莖、干、心、節、枝、葉、華、實皆得成就
那時,尊者舍利子告訴眾比丘:『諸位賢者!如果比丘沒有慚愧之心,就會損害愛敬之心;如果沒有愛敬之心,就會損害其信心;如果沒有信心,就會損害正思惟;如果沒有正思惟,就會損害正念正智;如果沒有正念正智,就會損害守護諸根、守護戒律、不後悔、歡悅、喜樂、止息、安樂、禪定、如實見、如實知、厭離、無慾、解脫;如果沒有解脫,就會損害涅槃。諸位賢者!就像一棵樹,如果外皮受損,內皮就不能生長,內皮不能生長,那麼莖、干、心、節、枝、葉、花、果實都不能長成。諸位賢者!應當知道比丘也是如此,如果沒有慚愧之心,就會損害愛敬之心;如果沒有愛敬之心,就會損害其信心;如果沒有信心,就會損害正思惟;如果沒有正思惟,就會損害正念正智;如果沒有正念正智,就會損害守護諸根、守護戒律、不後悔、歡悅、喜樂、止息、安樂、禪定、如實見、如實知、厭離、無慾、解脫;如果沒有解脫,就會損害涅槃。』 『諸位賢者!如果比丘有慚愧之心,就會修習愛敬之心;如果有愛敬之心,就會修習其信心;如果有信心,就會修習正思惟;如果有正思惟,就會修習正念正智;如果有正念正智,就會修習守護諸根、守護戒律、不後悔、歡悅、喜樂、止息、安樂、禪定、如實見、如實知、厭離、無慾、解脫;如果有解脫,就會修習涅槃。諸位賢者!就像一棵樹,如果不損害外皮,內皮就能生長,內皮能生長,那麼莖、干、心、節、枝、葉、花、果實都能成就。』
At that time, the venerable Sariputra addressed the monks, saying: 'Friends, if a monk is without shame and remorse, he harms love and respect; if he is without love and respect, he harms his faith; if he is without faith, he harms right thought; if he is without right thought, he harms right mindfulness and right wisdom; if he is without right mindfulness and right wisdom, he harms guarding the senses, guarding the precepts, non-remorse, joy, gladness, tranquility, happiness, concentration, seeing things as they are, knowing things as they are, disenchantment, non-desire, and liberation; if he is without liberation, he harms Nirvana. Friends, it is like a tree, if the outer bark is damaged, the inner bark cannot grow, and if the inner bark cannot grow, then the stem, trunk, heartwood, nodes, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits cannot develop. Friends, know that a monk is also like this, if he is without shame and remorse, he harms love and respect; if he is without love and respect, he harms his faith; if he is without faith, he harms right thought; if he is without right thought, he harms right mindfulness and right wisdom; if he is without right mindfulness and right wisdom, he harms guarding the senses, guarding the precepts, non-remorse, joy, gladness, tranquility, happiness, concentration, seeing things as they are, knowing things as they are, disenchantment, non-desire, and liberation; if he is without liberation, he harms Nirvana.' 'Friends, if a monk has shame and remorse, he cultivates love and respect; if he has love and respect, he cultivates his faith; if he has faith, he cultivates right thought; if he has right thought, he cultivates right mindfulness and right wisdom; if he has right mindfulness and right wisdom, he cultivates guarding the senses, guarding the precepts, non-remorse, joy, gladness, tranquility, happiness, concentration, seeing things as they are, knowing things as they are, disenchantment, non-desire, and liberation; if he has liberation, he cultivates Nirvana. Friends, it is like a tree, if the outer bark is not damaged, the inner bark can grow, and if the inner bark can grow, then the stem, trunk, heartwood, nodes, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits can all be accomplished.'
。諸賢!當知比丘亦復如是,若有慚有愧,便習愛恭敬;若有愛恭敬,便習其信;若有其信,便習正思惟;若有正思惟,便習正念正智;若有正念正智,便習護諸根、護戒、不悔、歡悅、喜、止、樂、定、見如實、知如真、厭、無慾、解脫;若有解脫,便習涅槃。」

現代漢語譯本:諸位賢者!應當知道,比丘也是如此,如果有了慚愧之心,便會修習愛敬;如果有了愛敬之心,便會修習信心;如果有了信心,便會修習正確的思考;如果有了正確的思考,便會修習正念正智;如果有了正念正智,便會修習守護諸根、守護戒律、不後悔、歡悅、喜樂、止息、安樂、禪定、如實觀察、如實知曉、厭離、無慾、解脫;如果有了解脫,便會修習涅槃。 尊者舍利弗所說的就是這樣。那些比丘聽了尊者舍利弗所說,都歡喜地奉行。 《慚愧經》第五完(四百六十二字) (四七)《中阿含經·習相應品·戒經》第六(初一日誦) 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘犯戒,就會損害不後悔、歡悅、喜樂、止息、安樂、禪定、如實觀察、如實知曉、厭離、無慾、解脫;如果沒有解脫,就會損害涅槃。如果比丘持戒,就會修習不後悔、歡悅、喜樂、止息、安樂、禪定、如實觀察、如實知曉、厭離、無慾、解脫;如果有了解脫,就會修習涅槃。』 佛陀是這樣說的。那些比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 《戒經》第六完(一百一十字) (四八)《中阿含經·習相應品·戒經》第七(初一日誦) 當時,尊者舍利弗告訴眾比丘:『諸位賢者!如果比丘犯戒,就會損害不後悔、歡悅、喜樂、止息、安樂、禪定、如實觀察、如實知曉、厭離、無慾、解脫;如果沒有解脫,就會損害涅槃。』

Venerable ones! It is like a tree, if its root is harmed, then its stem, trunk, heartwood, nodes, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits will not be able to develop. Venerable ones! Know that a bhikkhu is also like this; if he violates the precepts, he harms non-remorse, joy, gladness, tranquility, happiness, concentration, seeing things as they are, knowing things as they are, aversion, non-desire, and liberation. If there is no liberation, then he harms Nirvana. Venerable ones! If a bhikkhu upholds the precepts, then he cultivates non-remorse, joy, gladness, tranquility, happiness, concentration, seeing things as they are, knowing things as they are, aversion, non-desire, and liberation. If there is liberation, then he cultivates Nirvana. Venerable ones! It is like a tree, if its root is not harmed, then its stem, trunk, heartwood, nodes, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits will all be able to develop. Venerable ones! Know that a bhikkhu is also like this; if he upholds the precepts, then he cultivates non-remorse, joy, gladness, tranquility, happiness, concentration, seeing things as they are, knowing things as they are, aversion, non-desire, and liberation. If there is liberation, then he cultivates Nirvana. Thus spoke the venerable Sariputta. Those bhikkhus, having heard what the venerable Sariputta had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The seventh section of the Precepts Sutra ends (309 characters) (49) The Eighth Sutra on Reverence from the Samyukta-Agama, Practice Section (Recited on the first day) Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'Bhikkhus, you should practice reverence and good observation, and respect the Brahmacaris. If a bhikkhu does not practice reverence, does not observe well, and does not respect the Brahmacaris, yet possesses the conduct of deportment, this is impossible. If he does not possess the conduct of deportment, yet possesses the conduct of learning, this is impossible. If he does not possess the conduct of learning, yet possesses the body of precepts, this is impossible. If he does not possess the body of precepts, yet possesses the body of concentration, this is impossible. If he does not possess the body of concentration, yet possesses the body of wisdom, this is impossible. If he does not possess the body of wisdom, yet possesses the body of liberation, this is impossible.'
。不具解脫身已,具解脫知見身者,必無是處。不具解脫知見身已,具涅槃者,必無是處。
「若比丘行恭敬及善觀,敬重諸梵行已,具威儀法者,必有是處。具威儀法已,具學法者,必有是處。具學法已,具戒身者,必有是處。具戒身已,具定身者,必有是處。具定身已,具慧身者,必有是處。具慧身已,具解脫身者,必有是處。具解脫身已,具解脫知見身者,必有是處。具解脫知見身已,具涅槃者,必有是處。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「比丘當行恭敬及善觀,敬重諸梵行人。若比丘不行恭敬、不善觀、不敬重諸梵行已,具威儀法者,必無是處。不具威儀法已,具學法者,必無是處。不具學法已,護諸根、護戒、不悔、歡悅、喜、止、樂、定、見如實、知如真、厭、無慾、解脫;不具解脫已,具涅槃者,必無是處。
「若比丘行恭敬及善觀,敬重諸梵行已,具威儀法者,必有是處。具威儀法已,具學法者,必有是處
現代漢語譯本:如果一個人沒有解脫的身體,卻擁有解脫的知見,這是不可能的。如果一個人沒有解脫的知見,卻能達到涅槃,這也是不可能的。 如果比丘能夠恭敬地行事,善於觀察,尊重同修,那麼他一定能夠具備威儀。具備威儀之後,他一定能夠學習佛法。學習佛法之後,他一定能夠持守戒律。持守戒律之後,他一定能夠修習禪定。修習禪定之後,他一定能夠獲得智慧。獲得智慧之後,他一定能夠獲得解脫。獲得解脫之後,他一定能夠擁有解脫的知見。擁有解脫的知見之後,他一定能夠達到涅槃。 佛陀就是這樣說的。那些比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 恭敬經第八完結 (五〇)中阿含習相應品恭敬經第九(初一日誦) 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『比丘們應當恭敬地行事,善於觀察,尊重同修。如果比丘不能恭敬地行事,不善於觀察,不尊重同修,卻能具備威儀,這是不可能的。如果他沒有威儀,卻能學習佛法,這是不可能的。如果他沒有學習佛法,卻能守護諸根、持戒、不後悔、歡喜、喜悅、止息、快樂、禪定、如實地見、如實地知、厭離、無慾、解脫;如果他沒有解脫,卻能達到涅槃,這也是不可能的。』 『如果比丘能夠恭敬地行事,善於觀察,尊重同修,那麼他一定能夠具備威儀。具備威儀之後,他一定能夠學習佛法。'
English version: It is impossible for one who does not possess a body of liberation to possess the knowledge and vision of liberation. It is impossible for one who does not possess the knowledge and vision of liberation to attain Nirvana. If a bhikkhu practices reverence and careful observation, and respects his fellow practitioners, then it is certain that he will possess proper conduct. Having proper conduct, it is certain that he will learn the Dharma. Having learned the Dharma, it is certain that he will uphold the precepts. Having upheld the precepts, it is certain that he will practice meditation. Having practiced meditation, it is certain that he will gain wisdom. Having gained wisdom, it is certain that he will attain liberation. Having attained liberation, it is certain that he will possess the knowledge and vision of liberation. Having possessed the knowledge and vision of liberation, it is certain that he will attain Nirvana. Thus spoke the Buddha. Those bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them. The Eighth Discourse on Reverence is concluded. (50) The Ninth Discourse on Reverence from the Middle Length Discourses, Section on Practice (Recited on the first day) At that time, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'Bhikkhus, you should practice reverence and careful observation, and respect your fellow practitioners. If a bhikkhu does not practice reverence, is not careful in observation, and does not respect his fellow practitioners, it is impossible for him to possess proper conduct. If he does not have proper conduct, it is impossible for him to learn the Dharma. If he has not learned the Dharma, it is impossible for him to guard his senses, uphold the precepts, be without remorse, be joyful, be delighted, be tranquil, be happy, be in meditation, see things as they truly are, know things as they truly are, be disenchanted, be without desire, be liberated; if he is not liberated, it is impossible for him to attain Nirvana.' 'If a bhikkhu practices reverence and careful observation, and respects his fellow practitioners, then it is certain that he will possess proper conduct. Having proper conduct, it is certain that he will learn the Dharma.'

The answer is, the habits of volitional actions. Volitional actions also have their habits, they are not without habits. What are the habits of volitional actions? The answer is, the habits of ignorance (ignorance of the truth). 'This is how, conditioned by ignorance, there are volitional actions; conditioned by volitional actions, there is consciousness; conditioned by consciousness, there are name and form; conditioned by name and form, there are the six sense bases; conditioned by the six sense bases, there is being more inclined to feeling; conditioned by being more inclined to feeling, there is awareness; conditioned by awareness, there is craving; conditioned by craving, there is feeling; conditioned by feeling, there is existence; conditioned by existence, there is birth; conditioned by birth, there is old age and death; conditioned by old age and death, there is suffering.' 'By cultivating suffering, there will be faith. By cultivating faith, there will be right thought. By cultivating right thought, there will be right mindfulness and right wisdom. By cultivating right mindfulness and right wisdom, there will be guarding of the senses, guarding of precepts, no remorse, joy, gladness, tranquility, pleasure, concentration, seeing things as they truly are, knowing things as they truly are, disenchantment, non-desire, and liberation. By cultivating liberation, one will attain Nirvana.' The fourteenth chapter of the Nirvana Sutra ends (663 words) (56) The fifteenth Sutra of the Middle Length Discourses, 'The Sutra of Migha' from the 'Connected Discourses on Habits' (recited on the first day) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Magadha, staying in the Mango Grove Cave in Jhadu Village. At that time, the Venerable Migha was serving as an attendant. Then, the Venerable Migha, after spending the night, in the early morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered Jhadu Village to beg for alms.
。乞食已竟,往至金鞞河邊,見地平正,名好㮈林,金鞞河水極妙可樂,清泉徐流,冷暖和適,見已歡喜,便作是念:「此地平正,名好㮈林,金鞞河水極妙可樂,清泉徐流,冷暖和適,若族姓子欲學斷者,當於此處,我亦有所斷,寧可在此靜處學斷耶?」
於是,彌醯食訖,中后舉衣缽已,澡洗手足,以尼師檀著于肩上,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,卻住一面,白曰:「世尊!我今平旦著衣持缽,入阇斗村而行乞食。乞食已竟,往至金鞞河邊,見地平正,名好㮈林,金鞞河水極妙可樂,清泉徐流,冷暖和適,我見喜已,便作是念:『此地平正,名好㮈林,金鞞河水極妙可樂,清泉徐流,冷暖和適,若族姓子欲學斷者,當於此處,我亦有所斷,寧可在此靜處學斷耶?』世尊!我今欲往至彼㮈林靜處學斷。」
爾時,世尊告曰:「彌醯!汝今知不?我獨無人,無有侍者,汝可小住,須比丘來為吾侍者,汝便可去,至彼㮈林靜處而學。」
尊者彌醯乃至再三白曰:「世尊!我今欲往至彼㮈林靜處學斷。」
世尊亦復再三告曰:「彌醯!汝今知不?我獨無人,無有侍者,汝可小住,須比丘來為吾侍者,汝便可去,至彼㮈林靜處而學。」
彌醯復白曰:「世尊無為無作,亦無所觀
乞食完畢后,我前往金鞞河邊,看到那裡地勢平坦,名為好㮈林。金鞞河的水非常美妙,令人愉悅,清澈的泉水緩緩流淌,冷暖適宜。我看到後心生歡喜,便想:『這裡地勢平坦,名為好㮈林,金鞞河的水非常美妙,令人愉悅,清澈的泉水緩緩流淌,冷暖適宜。如果族姓子弟想要學習斷除煩惱,應當在這裡。我也有所要斷除的,不如就在這裡安靜地學習斷除吧?』 於是,彌醯吃完飯後,在中午過後收拾好衣缽,洗凈手腳,將尼師檀搭在肩上,前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,然後退到一旁,稟告說:『世尊!我今天早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入阇斗村乞食。乞食完畢后,我前往金鞞河邊,看到那裡地勢平坦,名為好㮈林。金鞞河的水非常美妙,令人愉悅,清澈的泉水緩緩流淌,冷暖適宜。我看到後心生歡喜,便想:『這裡地勢平坦,名為好㮈林,金鞞河的水非常美妙,令人愉悅,清澈的泉水緩緩流淌,冷暖適宜。如果族姓子弟想要學習斷除煩惱,應當在這裡。我也有所要斷除的,不如就在這裡安靜地學習斷除吧?』世尊!我現在想去那㮈林靜處學習斷除。』 當時,世尊告訴他說:『彌醯!你現在知道嗎?我獨自一人,沒有侍者。你可稍作停留,等有比丘來做我的侍者,你就可以去那㮈林靜處學習了。』 尊者彌醯甚至再三稟告說:『世尊!我現在想去那㮈林靜處學習斷除。』 世尊也再三告訴他說:『彌醯!你現在知道嗎?我獨自一人,沒有侍者。你可稍作停留,等有比丘來做我的侍者,你就可以去那㮈林靜處學習了。』 彌醯又稟告說:『世尊您無為無作,也無所觀察。』
Having finished begging for alms, I went to the bank of the Kimbi River and saw that the land was flat and called 'Good Na Forest'. The water of the Kimbi River was extremely wonderful and delightful, with clear springs flowing gently, and the temperature was just right. Seeing this, I was delighted and thought: 'This place is flat, called 'Good Na Forest', the water of the Kimbi River is extremely wonderful and delightful, with clear springs flowing gently, and the temperature is just right. If a clansman wants to learn to cut off defilements, he should do it here. I also have something to cut off, so why not learn to cut it off quietly here?' Then, after Míhí had finished eating, after midday, he gathered his robes and bowl, washed his hands and feet, put the nisidana on his shoulder, and went to where the Buddha was. He bowed at the Buddha's feet, then stood to one side and said: 'Venerable One! This morning I put on my robes and took my bowl, and went into the village of Jhadu to beg for alms. Having finished begging for alms, I went to the bank of the Kimbi River and saw that the land was flat and called 'Good Na Forest'. The water of the Kimbi River was extremely wonderful and delightful, with clear springs flowing gently, and the temperature was just right.

If a clansman wants to learn to cut off defilements, he should do it here. I also have something to cut off, so why not learn to cut it off quietly here?' Venerable One! I now wish to go to that quiet place in the Na Forest to learn to cut off defilements.' At that time, the World Honored One said: 'Míhí! Do you know that I am alone, without an attendant? You can stay a little longer, and when a bhikkhu comes to be my attendant, you can go to that quiet place in the Na Forest to learn.' Venerable Míhí even reported three times: 'Venerable One! I now wish to go to that quiet place in the Na Forest to learn to cut off defilements.' The World Honored One also told him three times: 'Míhí! Do you know that I am alone, without an attendant? You can stay a little longer, and when a bhikkhu comes to be my attendant, you can go to that quiet place in the Na Forest to learn.' Míhí then reported: 'Venerable One, you are without action, without doing, and without observation.'
。世尊!我有為有作而有所觀。世尊!我至彼㮈林靜處學斷。」
世尊告曰:「彌醯!汝欲求斷者,我復何言?彌醯!汝去,隨意所欲。」於是,尊者彌醯聞佛所說,善受善持而善誦習,即禮佛足,繞三匝而去,詣彼㮈林。入林中已,至一樹下,敷尼師檀,結加趺坐。
尊者彌醯住㮈林中便生三惡不善之念,慾念、恚念及與害念,彼由此故便念世尊。於是,彌醯則于晡時從燕坐起,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,卻住一面,白曰:「世尊!我至㮈林,于靜處坐便生三惡不善之念,慾念、恚念及與害念,我由此故便念世尊。」
世尊告曰:「彌醯!心解脫未熟,欲令熟者有五習法。云何為五?彌醯!比丘者自善知識與善知識俱,善知識共和合。彌醯!心解脫未熟,欲令熟者,是謂第一習法。複次,彌醯!比丘者,修習禁戒,守護從解脫,又復善攝威儀禮節,見纖芥罪,常懷畏怖,受持學戒。彌醯!心解脫未熟,欲令熟者,是謂第二習法。複次,彌醯!比丘者,謂所可說聖有義,令心柔軟,使心無蓋,謂說戒、說定、說慧、說解脫、說解脫知見、說漸損、說不樂聚會、說少欲、說知足、說斷、說無慾、說滅、說燕坐、說緣起,得如是比沙門所說,具得易,不難得。彌醯!心解脫未熟,欲令熟者,是謂第三習法
現代漢語譯本:世尊!我因為有所作為而有所觀察。世尊!我到那㮈林安靜的地方去學習斷除煩惱。 世尊告訴他說:『彌醯,你想要尋求斷除煩惱,我還能說什麼呢?彌醯,你去吧,隨你所愿。』於是,尊者彌醯聽了佛陀所說,很好地接受、很好地持守並很好地背誦,就禮拜佛足,繞佛三圈后離去,前往那㮈林。進入林中后,到一棵樹下,鋪上坐具,結跏趺坐。 尊者彌醯住在㮈林中,便生起了三種邪惡不善的念頭,即慾念、嗔念和害念。他因此想起了世尊。於是,彌醯在傍晚時分從禪坐中起身,前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立,說道:『世尊!我到㮈林,在安靜的地方坐著,就生起了三種邪惡不善的念頭,即慾念、嗔念和害念。我因此想起了世尊。』 世尊告訴他說:『彌醯,心解脫尚未成熟,想要讓它成熟,有五種修習的方法。哪五種呢?彌醯,比丘要親近善知識,與善知識在一起,與善知識和合。彌醯,心解脫尚未成熟,想要讓它成熟,這是第一種修習的方法。其次,彌醯,比丘要修習戒律,守護從解脫而來的戒律,還要善於攝持威儀禮節,見到微小的罪過,常常懷有畏懼之心,受持學習戒律。彌醯,心解脫尚未成熟,想要讓它成熟,這是第二種修習的方法。再次,彌醯,比丘要聽聞那些聖者所說的有意義的教導,使心柔軟,使心沒有遮蓋,即聽聞關於戒、定、慧、解脫、解脫知見、漸損、不樂聚會、少欲、知足、斷、無慾、滅、燕坐、緣起的教導。得到像這樣比沙門所說的教導,是容易得到的,不難得到。彌醯,心解脫尚未成熟,想要讓它成熟,這是第三種修習的方法。
English version: Venerable Sir, I have observations based on actions and efforts. Venerable Sir, I will go to that quiet place in the 㮈 forest to learn to cut off [defilements].' The Blessed One said, 'Mihila, if you wish to seek to cut off [defilements], what more can I say? Mihila, go, as you wish.' Then, Venerable Mihila, having heard what the Buddha said, well-received, well-held, and well-recited it, bowed at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him three times, and departed, going to that 㮈 forest. Having entered the forest, he went to a tree, spread out his sitting cloth, and sat cross-legged. Venerable Mihila, while dwelling in the 㮈 forest, arose three evil and unwholesome thoughts: thoughts of desire, thoughts of ill-will, and thoughts of harm. Because of this, he thought of the Blessed One. Then, Mihila, in the late afternoon, arose from his meditation, went to where the Buddha was, bowed at his feet, and stood to one side, saying, 'Venerable Sir, I went to the 㮈 forest, and while sitting in a quiet place, three evil and unwholesome thoughts arose: thoughts of desire, thoughts of ill-will, and thoughts of harm. Because of this, I thought of the Blessed One.' The Blessed One said, 'Mihila, when the mind's liberation is not yet mature, there are five practices to make it mature. What are the five? Mihila, a bhikkhu should associate with good friends, be with good friends, and be in harmony with good friends. Mihila, when the mind's liberation is not yet mature, this is the first practice to make it mature. Furthermore, Mihila, a bhikkhu should practice the precepts, guard the precepts that come from liberation, and also be skilled in maintaining proper conduct and etiquette, seeing even the smallest fault, always having a sense of fear, and upholding the learning of the precepts. Mihila, when the mind's liberation is not yet mature, this is the second practice to make it mature. Furthermore, Mihila, a bhikkhu should listen to the meaningful teachings spoken by the noble ones, making the mind pliable, making the mind without cover, namely, teachings about precepts, concentration, wisdom, liberation, the knowledge and vision of liberation, gradual reduction, not delighting in gatherings, having few desires, being content, cutting off, non-desire, cessation, solitary dwelling, and dependent origination. Obtaining such teachings spoken by the shramanas is easy to obtain, not difficult to obtain. Mihila, when the mind's liberation is not yet mature, this is the third practice to make it mature.'
。複次,彌醯!比丘者,常行精進,斷惡不善,修諸善法,恒自起意,專一堅固,為諸善本,不捨方便。彌醯!心解脫未熟,欲令熟者,是謂第四習法。複次,彌醯!比丘者,修行智慧,觀興衰法,得如是智,聖慧明達,分別曉了,以正盡苦。彌醯!心解脫未熟,欲令熟者,是謂第五習法。

Miga! If the mind's liberation is not yet mature, and one wishes to make it mature, this is called the fourth practice. Furthermore, Miga! A bhikkhu should cultivate wisdom, observe the laws of rise and fall, and thus attain such wisdom, that is, sacred wisdom, which is clear and penetrating, able to distinguish and understand, and thus correctly end suffering. Miga! If the mind's liberation is not yet mature, and one wishes to make it mature, this is called the fifth practice. Having these five practices, he further cultivates four dharmas. What are the four? Cultivating the contemplation of impurity to abandon desire; cultivating loving-kindness to abandon hatred; cultivating mindfulness of breathing to abandon scattered thoughts; cultivating the contemplation of impermanence to abandon pride. Miga! If a bhikkhu is with good teachers, is in the company of good teachers, and is in harmony with good teachers, know that he will surely practice the precepts, guard the path of liberation, and also be good at observing proper conduct and etiquette. Even seeing the slightest fault, he will always be fearful, uphold and learn the precepts. Miga! If a bhikkhu is with good teachers, is in the company of good teachers, and is in harmony with good teachers, know that he will surely hear the meaningful teachings spoken by the saints, making his heart soft and without obstacles, that is, hearing teachings about precepts, concentration, wisdom, liberation, the knowledge and vision of liberation, about gradually reducing desires, not liking gatherings, having few desires and being content, abandoning afflictions, being without desire, extinction, solitude, and dependent origination.

English version: 'Mihila! If a bhikkhu dwells with good friends, in harmony with good friends, it should be known that he will surely cultivate the perception of foulness to abandon desire; cultivate loving-kindness to abandon hatred; cultivate mindfulness of breathing to abandon scattered thoughts; cultivate the perception of impermanence to abandon conceit. Mihila! If a bhikkhu attains the perception of impermanence, he will surely attain the perception of no-self. Mihila! If a bhikkhu attains the perception of no-self, he will, in this very life, abandon all conceit, and attain peace, cessation, the unconditioned, and Nirvana.' Thus spoke the Buddha. Venerable Mihila and the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The fifteenth discourse, the Mihila Sutta, is complete (1323 words). (57) The sixteenth discourse, the 'Discourse to Bhikkhus' from the 'Practice-Related Chapter' of the Madhyama Agama (recited on the first day) Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'Bhikkhus, if the liberation of the mind is not yet mature, and one wishes to make it mature, there are five practices. What are the five? Bhikkhus, dwelling with good friends, in harmony with good friends, if the liberation of the mind is not yet mature, and one wishes to make it mature, this is the first practice.

Furthermore, bhikkhus, what is said to be the noble meaning, making the mind pliable, making the mind without cover, that is, speaking of precepts, speaking of concentration, speaking of wisdom, speaking of liberation, speaking of the knowledge and vision of liberation, speaking of gradual reduction, speaking of not delighting in gatherings, speaking of few desires, speaking of contentment, speaking of abandonment, speaking of non-desire, speaking of cessation, speaking of seclusion, speaking of dependent origination, obtaining what is said by such a samana, easily obtained, not difficult to obtain, if the liberation of the mind is not yet mature, and one wishes to make it mature, this is the third practice.'

If the mind's liberation is not yet mature, one should strive to make it mature; this is called the fourth practice. Furthermore, bhikkhus!

If a bhikkhu is with good teachers, lives with good teachers, and is in harmony with good teachers, it should be known that he will certainly receive the meaningful teachings spoken by the noble ones, making his heart soft and without cover, namely, the teachings on precepts, the teachings on concentration, the teachings on wisdom, the teachings on liberation, the teachings on the knowledge and vision of liberation, the teachings on gradual reduction (of defilements), the teachings on not delighting in gatherings, the teachings on few desires, the teachings on contentment, the teachings on abandoning (defilements), the teachings on non-desire, the teachings on cessation, the teachings on solitary dwelling, and the teachings on dependent origination. Receiving such teachings spoken by the shramanas, it is easy to obtain, not difficult to obtain. If a bhikkhu is with good teachers, lives with good teachers, and is in harmony with good teachers, it should be known that he will certainly practice diligently, abandoning evil and unwholesome deeds, cultivating all good dharmas, constantly initiating the intention oneself, being single-minded and firm, as the foundation of all good deeds, not abandoning any expedient means. If a bhikkhu is with good teachers, lives with good teachers, and is in harmony with good teachers, it should be known that he will certainly cultivate wisdom, observing the laws of rise and fall, thus attaining such wisdom, that is, noble wisdom, clear and penetrating, able to discern clearly, using the correct method to completely eliminate suffering.
。若比丘自善知識與善知識俱,善知識共和合,當知必修惡露,令斷欲;修慈,令斷恚;修息出息入,令斷亂念;修無常想,令斷我慢。若比丘得無常想者,必得無我想,若比丘得無我想者,便於現法斷一切我慢,得息、滅、盡、無為、涅槃。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若轉輪王出於世時,當知便有七寶出世。云何為七?輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,是謂為七。若轉輪王出於世時,當知有此七寶出世。如是如來、無所著、等正覺出於世時,當知亦有七覺支寶出於世間
現代漢語譯本:如果比丘與善知識在一起,或者與善知識共同和合,應當知道他必定會修習不凈觀,以斷除貪慾;修習慈心,以斷除嗔恚;修習出入息,以斷除散亂的念頭;修習無常想,以斷除我慢。如果比丘證得無常想,必定會證得無我想;如果比丘證得無我想,那麼他便能在現世斷除一切我慢,獲得寂靜、滅盡、無為、涅槃。 《為比丘說經》第十六結束(六百八十三字) 《中阿含經》卷第十(九千七百五十六字) 《中阿含經》卷第十一 《中阿含王相應品》第六(有七經,王相應品本有十四經,分后七經屬第二誦)(初二日誦) 七寶、相、四洲,牛糞、摩竭王,鞞婆麗陵耆,天使最在後。 (五八)《中阿含王相應品》七寶經第一 當時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『如果轉輪王出現於世,應當知道便有七寶出現於世。哪七種呢?輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,這便是七寶。如果轉輪王出現於世,應當知道有這七寶出現。同樣,如來、無所著、等正覺出現於世時,應當知道也有七覺支寶出現於世間。』
English version: If a bhikkhu dwells with a good friend, or in harmony with good friends, it should be known that he will surely cultivate the contemplation of foulness to abandon desire; cultivate loving-kindness to abandon hatred; cultivate mindfulness of breathing to abandon scattered thoughts; and cultivate the perception of impermanence to abandon conceit. If a bhikkhu attains the perception of impermanence, he will surely attain the perception of no-self; if a bhikkhu attains the perception of no-self, then in this very life he will abandon all conceit, and attain peace, cessation, the unconditioned, and Nirvana. The Buddha spoke thus. Those bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The sixteenth discourse, 'Discourse for Bhikkhus,' is concluded (683 words). The Madhyama Agama Sutra, Volume 10 (9,756 words). The Madhyama Agama Sutra, Volume 11. The Sixth Chapter of the Madhyama Agama Sutra, 'Connected with Kings' (containing seven discourses; the original chapter 'Connected with Kings' had fourteen discourses, the latter seven belonging to the second recitation) (the first two days of recitation). Seven Treasures, Marks, Four Continents, Cow Dung, King Magadha, Bhevalilingi, Angels are last. (58) The First Discourse on the Seven Treasures, from the Chapter 'Connected with Kings' in the Madhyama Agama Sutra. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, 'When a Wheel-Turning Monarch appears in the world, it should be known that seven treasures appear in the world. What are the seven? The wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the householder treasure, and the chief military officer treasure. These are the seven. When a Wheel-Turning Monarch appears in the world, it should be known that these seven treasures appear. Likewise, when a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Fully Enlightened One appears in the world, it should be known that the seven factors of enlightenment also appear in the world.'

English version: What are the seven factors of enlightenment? They are the treasure of mindfulness enlightenment factor, the investigation of dharma enlightenment factor, the effort enlightenment factor, the joy enlightenment factor, the tranquility enlightenment factor, the concentration enlightenment factor, and the equanimity enlightenment factor. These are called the seven factors of enlightenment. When a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Fully Enlightened One appears in the world, it should be known that these seven treasures of enlightenment factors also appear in the world. The first part of the 'Seven Treasures Sutra' ends (182 words in total). (59) The Second Sutra of the Thirty-Two Marks from the 'King's Correspondence Chapter' of the 'Middle Length Discourses' (Recited on the first day) Then, the monks, after their midday meal, gathered in the lecture hall and discussed this matter together: 'Friends! How marvelous! How extraordinary! A great man who possesses the thirty-two marks is certain to have two true and unfailing destinies. If he remains a householder, he will surely become a Wheel-Turning Monarch, intelligent and wise, possessing four kinds of armies, ruling the world, with sovereignty over himself; a righteous king who possesses the seven treasures. These seven treasures are: the wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the householder treasure, and the chief minister treasure. These are called the seven treasures. He will have a thousand sons, with handsome features, courageous and fearless, able to subdue others. He will surely rule this entire earth, even to the great ocean, not with swords and weapons, but with the Dharma, teaching them, bringing them peace. If he shaves off his hair and beard, puts on the saffron robe, with faith, leaves home, becomes homeless, and practices the path, he will surely attain the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One, his name will spread, and be heard in all ten directions.' At that time, the World Honored One was in meditation, and with his pure divine ear, surpassing that of humans, he heard the monks, after their midday meal, gathered in the lecture hall, discussing this matter together: 'Friends! How marvelous! How extraordinary! A great man who possesses the thirty-two marks is certain to have two true and unfailing destinies.'

世尊聞已,則于晡時從燕坐起,往詣講堂比丘眾前敷座而坐,問諸比丘:「汝等今日共論何事集坐講堂?」
時,諸比丘白曰:「世尊!我等今日集坐講堂共論此事:『諸賢!甚奇!甚特!大人成就三十二相,必有二處真諦不虛。若在家者,必為轉輪王,聰明智慧,有四種軍,整御天下,由己自在;如法法王成就七寶,彼七寶者,輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,是為七,千子具足,顏貌端正,勇猛無畏,能伏他眾,彼必統領此一切地乃至大海,不以刀杖,以法教令,令得安樂。若剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,必得如來、無所著、等正覺,名稱流佈,周聞十方。』世尊!我等共論如此事故集坐講堂
現代漢語譯本:如果這個人是在家之人,必定會成為轉輪聖王,擁有聰明的智慧,統領四種軍隊,治理天下,一切都由自己做主;他會像如法的法王一樣擁有七種寶物,這七寶分別是:輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶和主兵臣寶,這便是七寶。他還會有一千個兒子,個個容貌端正,勇猛無畏,能夠降伏其他眾人。他必定會統治這整個大地,乃至大海,不用刀劍,而是用佛法教化,使人民得到安樂。如果這個人剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,真心實意地捨棄家庭,出家修道,必定會證得如來、無所執著、正等正覺的果位,名聲遠播,傳遍十方。 世尊聽了這些話,在傍晚時分從禪坐中起身,前往講堂,在比丘眾前鋪好座位坐下,問眾比丘:『你們今天聚集在講堂里討論什麼事情?』 當時,眾比丘回答說:『世尊!我們今天聚集在講堂里討論這件事:諸位賢者!真是奇特!真是殊勝!大人成就三十二相,必定會有兩種真實不虛的歸宿。如果是在家之人,必定會成為轉輪聖王,擁有聰明的智慧,統領四種軍隊,治理天下,一切都由自己做主;他會像如法的法王一樣擁有七種寶物,這七寶分別是:輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶和主兵臣寶,這便是七寶。他還會有一千個兒子,個個容貌端正,勇猛無畏,能夠降伏其他眾人。他必定會統治這整個大地,乃至大海,不用刀劍,而是用佛法教化,使人民得到安樂。如果這個人剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,真心實意地捨棄家庭,出家修道,必定會證得如來、無所執著、正等正覺的果位,名聲遠播,傳遍十方。』世尊!我們就是因為討論這件事才聚集在講堂里的。』
English version: If this person remains at home, he will surely become a Chakravarti king, possessing brilliant wisdom, commanding four types of armies, governing the world, and being self-reliant in all matters. Like a righteous Dharma king, he will possess seven treasures: the wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the householder treasure, and the chief minister treasure. These are the seven. He will have a thousand sons, all with upright appearances, courageous and fearless, capable of subduing others. He will surely rule over all this land, even to the great ocean, not with swords and weapons, but with the teachings of the Dharma, bringing peace and happiness to the people. If this person shaves his head and beard, wears the monastic robe, with sincere faith, leaves home, becomes homeless, and practices the Way, he will surely attain the Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, his name spreading far and wide, known throughout the ten directions. Having heard this, the World Honored One arose from his meditation in the late afternoon, went to the lecture hall, sat on the seat prepared before the assembly of monks, and asked the monks, 'What matter were you discussing today that you gathered in the lecture hall?' At that time, the monks replied, 'World Honored One! Today we gathered in the lecture hall to discuss this matter: 'Venerable ones! How marvelous! How extraordinary! A great person who has attained the thirty-two marks will surely have two true and unfailing destinies. If he remains at home, he will surely become a Chakravarti king, possessing brilliant wisdom, commanding four types of armies, governing the world, and being self-reliant in all matters.

World Honored One! It is because of discussing this matter that we gathered in the lecture hall.'
於是,世尊告曰:「比丘!汝等欲得從如來聞三十二相耶?謂大人所成,必有二處真諦不虛。若在家者,必為轉輪王,聰明智慧,有四種軍,整御天下,由己自在;如法法王成就七寶,彼七寶者,輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,是為七,千子具足,顏貌端正,勇猛無畏,能伏他眾,彼必統領此一切地乃至大海,不以刀杖,以法教令,令得安樂。若剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,必得如來、無所著、等正覺,名稱流佈,周聞十方。」
時,諸比丘聞已,白曰:「世尊!今正是時。善逝!今正是時。若世尊為諸比丘說三十二相者,諸比丘聞已當善受持。」
世尊告曰:「諸比丘!諦聽,諦聽!善思念之,吾當為汝廣分別說。」時,諸比丘受教而聽。
佛言:「大人足安平立,是謂大人大人之相。複次,大人足下生輪,輪有千輻,一切具足,是謂大人大人之相。複次,大人足指纖長,是謂大人大人之相。複次,大人足周正直,是謂大人大人之相。複次,大人足跟踝后兩邊平滿,是謂大人大人之相。複次,大人足兩踝𦟛,是謂大人大人之相。複次,大人身毛上向,是謂大人大人之相。複次,大人手足網縵,猶如雁王,是謂大人大人之相
於是,世尊告訴他們說:『比丘們!你們想聽如來說三十二相嗎?這三十二相是偉大的人所成就的,必定有兩個真實不虛的去處。如果是在家之人,必定成為轉輪王,聰明智慧,擁有四種軍隊,統治天下,由自己做主;如法之王成就七寶,這七寶是:輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,這便是七寶,還有一千個兒子,容貌端正,勇猛無畏,能夠降伏其他眾人,他必定統治這整個大地乃至大海,不用刀劍,而是用佛法教導,使他們得到安樂。如果剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,至誠信仰、捨棄家庭、無家可歸、學習佛道的人,必定證得如來、無所執著、等正覺,名聲流傳,遍佈十方。』 當時,眾比丘聽了之後,說道:『世尊!現在正是時候。善逝!現在正是時候。如果世尊為眾比丘宣說三十二相,眾比丘聽了之後一定會好好接受並奉持。』 世尊告訴他們說:『比丘們!仔細聽,仔細聽!好好思考,我將為你們詳細分別解說。』當時,眾比丘接受教誨,認真聽講。 佛說:『偉大的人雙足安穩平立,這就是偉大的人的相貌。其次,偉大的人足底生有輪相,輪有千輻,一切具足,這就是偉大的人的相貌。其次,偉大的人足趾纖長,這就是偉大的人的相貌。其次,偉大的人足背圓滿正直,這就是偉大的人的相貌。其次,偉大的人足跟踝骨后兩邊平滿,這就是偉大的人的相貌。其次,偉大的人足踝隱沒不現,這就是偉大的人的相貌。其次,偉大的人身上的毛髮向上生長,這就是偉大的人的相貌。其次,偉大的人手足之間有網狀薄膜,如同雁王一般,這就是偉大的人的相貌。
Then, the World Honored One said, 'Monks! Do you wish to hear from the Tathagata about the thirty-two marks? These are the marks of a great person, and there are certainly two true and unfailing destinations. If one is a householder, he will surely become a Wheel-Turning King, intelligent and wise, possessing four kinds of armies, governing the world, and being self-reliant. As a righteous king, he will possess seven treasures: the wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the householder treasure, and the chief minister treasure. These are the seven treasures. He will also have a thousand sons, with handsome appearances, courageous and fearless, able to subdue others. He will surely rule over this entire earth, even to the great ocean, not with swords and weapons, but with the Dharma, teaching and bringing them peace. If one shaves his beard and hair, wears the monastic robe, with sincere faith, leaves home, becomes homeless, and studies the Way, he will surely attain the Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, whose name will spread and be heard in all ten directions.' At that time, the monks, having heard this, said, 'World Honored One! Now is the right time. Well-Gone One! Now is the right time. If the World Honored One were to explain the thirty-two marks to the monks, the monks, having heard it, would surely accept and uphold it well.' The World Honored One said, 'Monks! Listen carefully, listen carefully! Think well, and I will explain it to you in detail.' At that time, the monks received the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said, 'A great person stands with his feet firmly and evenly placed, this is the mark of a great person. Furthermore, a great person has wheels on the soles of his feet, with a thousand spokes, all complete, this is the mark of a great person. Furthermore, a great person has long and slender toes, this is the mark of a great person. Furthermore, a great person has full and straight insteps, this is the mark of a great person.

A great man who possesses these thirty-two marks will certainly have two true destinies that will not be in vain. If he remains a householder, he will become a wheel-turning monarch, intelligent and wise, possessing four kinds of armies, ruling the world, with everything under his own control; a righteous king who possesses the seven treasures. These seven treasures are: the wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the householder treasure, and the chief minister treasure. These seven treasures are complete, and he will have a thousand sons, with upright appearances, courageous and fearless, able to subdue others. He will surely rule over this entire earth, even to the great ocean, not with swords and weapons, but with the teachings of the Dharma, bringing peace and happiness to the people. If he shaves his head and beard, puts on the monastic robe, with true faith, leaves his home, and becomes a homeless seeker of the path, he will surely attain the Tathagata, the unattached, the perfectly enlightened one, and his name will spread throughout the ten directions.' The Second Discourse on the Thirty-Two Marks is complete (1608 words) (60) The Third Discourse on the Four Continents from the Middle Length Discourses, King's Section (Recited on the first day) At that time, the Venerable Ananda, in a quiet place, sat in meditation and thought thus: 'Very few people in the world are satisfied with their desires, and very few die having grown weary of their desires; it is very rare for people to be satisfied with their desires and die having grown weary of them.'
尊者阿難則于晡時從燕坐起,往詣佛所,到已作禮,卻住一面,白曰:「世尊!我今在安靜處,燕坐思惟而作是念:『世人甚少少能于欲有滿足意,少有厭患于欲而命終者;世人于欲有滿足意,厭患于欲而命終者,為甚難得。』」
佛告阿難:「如是,如是。世人甚少少能于欲有滿足意,少有厭患于欲而命終者。阿難!世人于欲有滿足意,厭患于欲而命終者,為甚難得。阿難!世人極甚難得,極甚難得於欲有滿足意,厭患于欲而命終者。阿難!但世間人甚多甚多,于欲無滿足意,不厭患欲而命終也。所以者何?阿難!往昔有王名曰頂生,作轉輪王,聰明智慧,有四種軍,整御天下,由己自在,如法法王成就七寶,彼七寶者,輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,是為七,千子具足,顏貌端正,勇猛無畏,能伏他眾,彼必統領此一切地乃至大海,不以刀杖,以法教令,令得安樂。阿難!彼頂生王而於后時極大久遠,便作是念:『我有閻浮洲,極大富樂,多有人民,我有七寶,千子具足,我欲于宮雨寶七日,積至於膝。』阿難!彼頂生王有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神,適發心已,即于宮中雨寶七日,積至於膝
尊者阿難在下午時分從禪定中起身,前往佛陀所在之處,到達後向佛陀行禮,然後退到一旁站立,稟告說:『世尊!我現在在安靜的地方,禪坐思考時產生這樣的想法:『世人很少能對慾望感到滿足,很少有人厭倦慾望而去世;世人對慾望感到滿足,厭倦慾望而去世的,實在太難得了。』 佛陀告訴阿難:『是的,是的。世人很少能對慾望感到滿足,很少有人厭倦慾望而去世。阿難!世人對慾望感到滿足,厭倦慾望而去世的,實在太難得了。阿難!世人極其難得,極其難得對慾望感到滿足,厭倦慾望而去世。阿難!但是世間人非常多,非常多對慾望沒有滿足感,不厭倦慾望而去世。這是為什麼呢?阿難!過去有一位國王名叫頂生,他成為轉輪王,聰明智慧,擁有四種軍隊,統治天下,由自己做主,像如法的法王一樣成就了七寶,這七寶是:輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,這七種寶物,還有一千個兒子,容貌端正,勇猛無畏,能夠降伏其他人群,他必定統治這整個大地乃至大海,不用刀劍,用佛法教導,使他們得到安樂。阿難!這位頂生王在後來非常久遠的時間裡,就產生這樣的想法:『我擁有閻浮洲,極其富裕快樂,有很多人民,我擁有七寶,一千個兒子,我想要在宮殿里下七天寶物雨,堆積到膝蓋那麼高。』阿難!這位頂生王擁有強大的如意足,擁有強大的威德,擁有強大的福佑,擁有強大的威神,剛一發心,就在宮殿里下了七天寶物雨,堆積到膝蓋那麼高。
Venerable Ananda, in the late afternoon, arose from his meditation and went to where the Buddha was. Having arrived, he paid homage to the Buddha, stood to one side, and said: 'Venerable Sir, I was in a quiet place, meditating and thinking this thought: 『Very few people in the world are able to be satisfied with desires, and few die weary of desires; it is very difficult for people to be satisfied with desires and die weary of desires.』 The Buddha said to Ananda: 'So it is, so it is. Very few people in the world are able to be satisfied with desires, and few die weary of desires. Ananda! It is very difficult for people to be satisfied with desires and die weary of desires. Ananda! It is extremely difficult, extremely difficult for people to be satisfied with desires and die weary of desires. Ananda! But there are very, very many people in the world who are not satisfied with desires and do not die weary of desires. Why is that? Ananda! In the past, there was a king named Tops, who became a wheel-turning king, intelligent and wise, possessing four kinds of armies, ruling the world, being self-governing, like a righteous Dharma king, he achieved the seven treasures. These seven treasures were: the wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the householder treasure, and the chief military minister treasure. These are the seven, and he had a thousand sons, with handsome appearances, brave and fearless, able to subdue other groups. He would surely rule all this land, even to the great ocean, not with swords and weapons, but with the Dharma, teaching them, so that they would find peace. Ananda! This King Tops, after a very long time, had this thought: 『I possess Jambudvipa, which is extremely rich and happy, with many people. I possess the seven treasures, and a thousand sons. I want to rain down treasures in the palace for seven days, piling them up to my knees.』 Ananda! This King Tops had great magical powers, great virtue, great blessings, and great divine power. As soon as he had this thought, he rained down treasures in the palace for seven days, piling them up to his knees.
「阿難!彼頂生王而於后時極大久遠,復作是念:『我有閻浮洲,極大富樂,多有人民,我有七寶,千子具足,及於宮中雨寶七日,積至於膝。我憶曾從古人聞之,西方有洲名瞿陀尼,極大富樂,多有人民。我今欲往見瞿陀尼洲,到已整御。』阿難!彼頂生王有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神,適發心已,即以如意足乘虛而去,及四種軍。阿難!彼頂生王即時往到住瞿陀尼洲。阿難!彼頂生王住已整御瞿陀尼洲,乃至無量百千萬歲。

「阿難!彼頂生王而於后時極大久遠,復作是念:『我有閻浮洲,極大富樂,多有人民,我有七寶,千子具足,及於宮中雨寶七日,積至於膝,我亦復有瞿陀尼洲,亦有弗婆鞞陀提洲。我復曾從古人聞之,北方有洲名郁單曰,極大富樂,多有人民,彼雖無我想亦無所受。我今欲往見郁單曰洲,到已整御,及諸眷屬。』阿難!彼頂生王有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神,適發心已,即以如意足乘虛而去,及四種軍。
「阿難!彼頂生王遙見平地白,告諸臣曰:『卿等見郁單曰平地白耶?』諸臣對曰:『見也。天王!』王復告曰:『卿等知不?彼是郁單曰人自然粳米,郁單曰人常所食者,卿等亦應共食此食。』阿難!彼頂生王復遙見郁單曰洲中,若干種樹,凈妙嚴飾,種種彩色,在欄楯里,告諸臣曰:『卿等見郁單曰洲中,若干種樹,凈妙嚴飾,種種彩色,在欄楯里耶?』諸臣對曰:『見也。天王!』王復告曰:『卿等知不?是郁單曰人衣樹,郁單曰人取此衣著,卿等亦應取此衣著。』阿難!彼頂生王即時往到住郁單曰洲。阿難!彼頂生王住已整御郁單曰洲,乃至無量百千萬歲,及諸眷屬

『Ananda!』 King Top-Born, after a very long time, thought to himself: 『I possess Jambudvipa, which is extremely rich and joyful, with many people. I have the seven treasures, a thousand sons all complete, and in my palace, treasures rained down for seven days, piling up to my knees. I also have Kūṭadanīdvīpa, and Pūrvavideha. I have also heard from the ancients that there is a continent in the north called Uttarakuru, which is extremely rich and joyful, with many people, and although they have no concept of 『self』 and no feelings. I now wish to go and see Uttarakuru, and upon arriving, I will govern it, along with all my retinue.』 Ananda! King Top-Born had great miraculous power, great virtue, great blessings, and great divine power. As soon as he had this thought, he immediately used his miraculous power to fly through the air, along with his four kinds of armies. 『Ananda!』 King Top-Born, seeing a flat white ground from afar, said to his ministers: 『Do you see the flat white ground of Uttarakuru?』 The ministers replied: 『We see it, Your Majesty!』 The king then told them: 『Do you know? That is the naturally grown rice of the people of Uttarakuru, which they eat regularly, and you should also eat this food.』 Ananda! King Top-Born, seeing from afar in Uttarakuru various kinds of trees, pure and beautiful, adorned with various colors, within railings, said to his ministers: 『Do you see in Uttarakuru various kinds of trees, pure and beautiful, adorned with various colors, within railings?』 The ministers replied: 『We see them, Your Majesty!』 The king then told them: 『Do you know? Those are the clothing trees of the people of Uttarakuru, from which they take their clothes to wear, and you should also take these clothes to wear.』 Ananda! King Top-Born immediately went to and arrived at Uttarakuru. Ananda! After arriving, King Top-Born governed Uttarakuru for countless millions of years, along with all his retinue.
「阿難!彼頂生王而於后時極大久遠,復作是念:『我有閻浮洲,極大富樂,多有人民,我有七寶,千子具足,及於宮中雨寶七日,積至於膝,我亦復有瞿陀尼洲,亦有弗婆鞞陀提洲,亦有郁單曰洲。我復曾從古人聞之,有天名曰三十三天。我今欲往見三十三天。』阿難!彼頂生王有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神,適發心已,即以如意足乘虛而往,及四種軍,向日光去。
「阿難!彼頂生王遙見三十三天中,須彌山王上猶如大云,告諸臣曰:『卿等見三十三天中,須彌山王上猶如大云耶?』諸臣對曰:『見也。天王!』王復告曰:『卿等知不?是三十三天晝度樹也。三十三天在此樹下,于夏四月,具足五欲,而自娛樂。』阿難!彼頂生王復遙見三十三天中,須彌山王上近於南邊猶如大云,告諸臣曰:『卿等見三十三天中,須彌山王上近於南邊猶如大云耶?』諸臣對曰:『見也。天王!』王復告曰:『卿等知不?是三十三天正法之堂,三十三天於此堂中,八日、十四日、十五日,為天為人,思法思義。』
「阿難!彼頂生王即到三十三天。彼頂生王到三十三天已,即入法堂。於是,天帝釋便與頂生王半座令坐,彼頂生王即坐天帝釋半座
『阿難!』頂生王在很久很久之後,又這樣想:『我擁有閻浮洲,極其富饒快樂,人民眾多。我擁有七寶,有一千個兒子,而且在宮中連續七天降下寶物,堆積到膝蓋那麼高。我還擁有瞿陀尼洲,弗婆鞞陀提洲,以及郁單曰洲。我曾經從古人那裡聽說,有一個天叫做三十三天。我現在想去見三十三天。』阿難!頂生王擁有強大的如意足,有巨大的威德,有巨大的福佑,有巨大的威神力。他剛一發心,就立刻以如意足騰空而去,帶著四種軍隊,朝著太陽的方向飛去。 『阿難!』頂生王遠遠地看到三十三天中,須彌山頂上像一片巨大的雲彩,就告訴他的大臣們說:『你們看到三十三天中,須彌山頂上像一片巨大的雲彩嗎?』大臣們回答說:『看到了,天王!』國王又說:『你們知道嗎?那是三十三天的晝度樹。三十三天在這棵樹下,在夏季的四個月里,盡情享受五欲之樂。』阿難!頂生王又遠遠地看到三十三天中,須彌山頂上靠近南邊的地方像一片巨大的雲彩,就告訴他的大臣們說:『你們看到三十三天中,須彌山頂上靠近南邊的地方像一片巨大的雲彩嗎?』大臣們回答說:『看到了,天王!』國王又說:『你們知道嗎?那是三十三天的正法之堂。三十三天在這座殿堂中,在每月的初八、十四、十五日,為天人和人思考佛法和義理。』 『阿難!』頂生王隨即到達了三十三天。頂生王到達三十三天後,就進入了法堂。這時,天帝釋就讓頂生王坐了半個座位,頂生王就坐在了天帝釋的半個座位上。
'Ananda! After a very long time, King Top-Born thought to himself: 'I possess Jambudvipa, which is extremely wealthy and joyful, with many people. I have the seven treasures, a thousand sons, and for seven days, treasures rained down in my palace, piling up to my knees. I also possess Kuru, Aparagodaniya, and Uttarakuru. I have heard from the ancients that there is a heaven called the Thirty-three Heavens. I now wish to go and see the Thirty-three Heavens.' Ananda! King Top-Born had great magical powers of the feet, great virtue, great blessings, and great divine power. As soon as he had this thought, he immediately used his magical feet to fly into the sky, taking his four kinds of troops, and flew towards the sun. 'Ananda! King Top-Born saw from afar that on Mount Sumeru in the Thirty-three Heavens, there was something like a large cloud, and he said to his ministers: 'Do you see something like a large cloud on Mount Sumeru in the Thirty-three Heavens?' The ministers replied: 'We see it, Your Majesty!' The king then said: 'Do you know what that is? That is the Day-Crossing Tree of the Thirty-three Heavens. The Thirty-three Heavens enjoy the five desires under this tree for four months in the summer.' Ananda! King Top-Born again saw from afar that on Mount Sumeru in the Thirty-three Heavens, near the south side, there was something like a large cloud, and he said to his ministers: 'Do you see something like a large cloud on Mount Sumeru in the Thirty-three Heavens, near the south side?' The ministers replied: 'We see it, Your Majesty!' The king then said: 'Do you know what that is? That is the Hall of Righteous Dharma of the Thirty-three Heavens. In this hall, on the eighth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of each month, the Thirty-three Heavens contemplate the Dharma and its meaning for gods and humans.' 'Ananda! King Top-Born then arrived at the Thirty-three Heavens. After King Top-Born arrived at the Thirty-three Heavens, he entered the Hall of Dharma. Thereupon, Sakra, the Lord of the Gods, offered King Top-Born half of his seat, and King Top-Born sat on half of Sakra's seat.'
。於是,頂生王及天帝釋都無差別,光光無異,色色無異,形形無異,威儀禮節及其衣服亦無有異,唯眼眴異。
「阿難!彼頂生王而於后時極大久遠,復作是念:『我有閻浮洲,極大富樂,多有人民,我有七寶,千子具足,及於宮中雨寶七日,積至於膝。我亦復有瞿陀尼洲,亦有弗婆鞞陀提洲,亦有郁單曰洲。我又已見三十三天雲集大會,我已得入諸天法堂。又天帝釋與我半座,我已得坐帝釋半座,我與帝釋都無差別,光光無異,色色無異,形形無異,威儀禮節及其衣服亦無有異,唯眼眴異。我今寧可驅帝釋去,奪取半座,作天人王,由己自在。』
「阿難!彼頂生王適發此念,不覺已下在閻浮洲,便失如意足,生極重病。命將終時,諸臣往詣頂生王所白曰:『天王!若有梵志、居士及臣人民,來問我等:「頂生王臨命終時說何等事?天王!我等當云何答梵志、居士及臣人民?」』
「時,頂生王告諸臣曰:『若梵志、居士及臣人民,來問卿等:「頂生王臨命終時說何等事?」卿等應當如是答之:「頂生王得閻浮洲,意不滿足而命終。頂生王得七寶,意不滿足而命終。千子具足,意不滿足而命終。頂生王七日雨寶,意不滿足而命終。頂生王得瞿陀尼洲,意不滿足而命終
現代漢語譯本:於是,頂生王和天帝釋之間沒有任何差別,他們的光芒、外形、儀態禮節以及衣著都完全相同,唯一的區別在於眨眼的方式。 阿難!頂生王在很久之後,又產生了這樣的想法:『我擁有閻浮洲,極其富饒快樂,人民眾多。我擁有七寶,有一千個兒子,宮殿里還連續七天下寶雨,堆積到膝蓋那麼高。我還擁有瞿陀尼洲、弗婆鞞陀提洲和郁單曰洲。我甚至已經見過三十三天眾神聚集開會,進入了諸天的法堂。天帝釋還分給我一半座位,我已經坐在了帝釋的半個座位上。我和帝釋之間沒有任何差別,光芒、外形、儀態禮節以及衣著都完全相同,唯一的區別在於眨眼的方式。我為什麼不把帝釋趕走,奪取他的半個座位,自己做天人王,自由自在呢?』 阿難!頂生王剛產生這個念頭,就感覺自己已經回到了閻浮洲,失去了如意足,並且得了重病。在他臨終的時候,大臣們來到頂生王面前稟告說:『天王!如果有婆羅門、居士以及臣民來問我們:「頂生王臨終時說了些什麼?」天王!我們應該如何回答婆羅門、居士以及臣民呢?』 當時,頂生王告訴大臣們說:『如果婆羅門、居士以及臣民來問你們:「頂生王臨終時說了些什麼?」你們應當這樣回答他們:「頂生王得到了閻浮洲,但並不滿足,最終去世了。頂生王得到了七寶,但並不滿足,最終去世了。他有一千個兒子,但並不滿足,最終去世了。頂生王連續七天得到寶雨,但並不滿足,最終去世了。頂生王得到了瞿陀尼洲,但並不滿足,最終去世了。」』
English version: Thus, there was no difference between King Tops and the Heavenly Emperor Śakra; their radiance, forms, manners, etiquette, and clothing were all identical, the only difference being in the way they blinked. Ananda! After a very long time, King Tops had this thought: 『I possess Jambudvipa, which is extremely wealthy and joyful, with many people. I have the seven treasures, a thousand sons, and for seven days, jewels rained down in my palace, piling up to my knees. I also possess Kuru, Aparagodānīya, and Uttarakuru. I have even seen the Thirty-three Gods gather for a meeting and have entered the hall of the gods. The Heavenly Emperor Śakra even shared half of his seat with me, and I have sat on Śakra's half of the seat. There is no difference between me and Śakra; our radiance, forms, manners, etiquette, and clothing are all identical, the only difference being in the way we blink. Why shouldn't I drive Śakra away, seize his half of the seat, and become the king of gods and humans, free and independent?』 Ananda! As soon as King Tops had this thought, he felt himself back in Jambudvipa, having lost his magical powers, and he became seriously ill. As he was dying, his ministers came to King Tops and reported: 『Your Majesty! If Brahmins, householders, and subjects come to ask us, 「What did King Tops say as he was dying?」 Your Majesty! How should we answer the Brahmins, householders, and subjects?』 At that time, King Tops told his ministers: 『If Brahmins, householders, and subjects come to ask you, 「What did King Tops say as he was dying?」 you should answer them like this: 「King Tops obtained Jambudvipa, but was not satisfied, and ultimately died. King Tops obtained the seven treasures, but was not satisfied, and ultimately died. He had a thousand sons, but was not satisfied, and ultimately died. King Tops received a rain of jewels for seven days, but was not satisfied, and ultimately died. King Tops obtained Kuru, but was not satisfied, and ultimately died.」』
。頂生王得弗婆鞞陀提洲,意不滿足而命終。頂生王得郁單曰洲,意不滿足而命終。頂生王見諸天集會,意不滿足而命終。頂生王具足五欲功德色、聲、香、味、觸,意不滿足而命終。」若梵志、居士及臣人民,來問卿等:「頂生王臨命終時說何等事?」卿等應當如是答之。』」
於是,世尊而說頌曰:
「天雨妙珍寶, 欲者無厭足, 欲苦無有樂, 慧者應當知。 若有得金積, 猶如大雪山, 一一無有足, 慧者作是念。 得天妙五欲, 不以此五樂, 斷愛不著欲, 等正覺弟子。」
於是,世尊告曰:「阿難!昔頂生王,汝謂異人耶?莫作斯念,當知即是我也。阿難!我于爾時為自饒益,亦饒益他,饒益多人,愍傷世間,為天、為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂。爾時說法不至究竟,不究竟白凈,不究竟梵行,不究竟梵行訖。爾時不離生老病死、啼哭憂戚,亦未能得脫一切苦。阿難!我今出世,如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐。我今自饒益,亦饒益他,饒益多人,愍傷世間,為天、為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂。我今說法得至究竟,究竟白凈,究竟梵行,究竟梵行訖
現代漢語譯本:頂生王得到了弗婆鞞陀提洲,但內心不滿足就去世了。頂生王得到了郁單曰洲,但內心不滿足就去世了。頂生王見到了諸天,但內心不滿足就去世了。頂生王擁有了五欲的功德,包括色、聲、香、味、觸,但內心不滿足就去世了。』如果梵志、居士以及臣民來問你們:『頂生王臨終時說了些什麼?』你們應當這樣回答他們。』 於是,世尊說了偈語: 『天降美妙珍寶,慾望之人永不滿足,慾望帶來痛苦而無快樂,有智慧的人應當明白。如果有人得到堆積如山的黃金,如同巨大的雪山,但仍然不會滿足,有智慧的人應當這樣思考。即使得到天上的美妙五欲,也不應沉溺於這些快樂,應當斷除愛慾,不執著于慾望,這才是等正覺的弟子。』 於是,世尊告訴阿難:『阿難!以前的頂生王,你以為是別人嗎?不要這樣想,應當知道那就是我。阿難!我那時是爲了自己利益,也爲了利益他人,利益更多的人,憐憫世間,為天人和人尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。那時說法沒有達到究竟,沒有究竟的清凈,沒有究竟的梵行,沒有究竟的梵行結束。那時沒有脫離生老病死、哭泣憂愁,也沒有能夠解脫一切痛苦。阿難!我現在出世,如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成就、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐。我現在爲了自己利益,也爲了利益他人,利益更多的人,憐憫世間,為天人和人尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。我現在說法能夠達到究竟,究竟的清凈,究竟的梵行,究竟的梵行結束。
English version: King Tops was born in the continent of Pubbavideha, but he was not satisfied and died. King Tops was born in the continent of Uttarakuru, but he was not satisfied and died. King Tops saw the gods, but he was not satisfied and died. King Tops possessed the merits of the five desires, including form, sound, smell, taste, and touch, but he was not satisfied and died.』 If Brahmins, householders, and subjects come to ask you, 『What did King Tops say when he was about to die?』 you should answer them like this.』 Then, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 『Though the heavens rain down precious jewels, those with desires are never satisfied. Desire brings suffering and no joy; the wise should understand this. If one were to obtain piles of gold, like a great snow mountain, they would still not be satisfied. The wise should think like this. Even if one obtains the wonderful five desires of the heavens, one should not indulge in these pleasures. One should cut off craving and not be attached to desires; this is the disciple of the Fully Enlightened One.』 Then, the World Honored One said to Ananda, 『Ananda! The former King Tops, do you think he was someone else? Do not think like that; you should know that it was me. Ananda! At that time, I was for my own benefit, and also for the benefit of others, for the benefit of many people, having compassion for the world, seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness. At that time, the teaching did not reach its ultimate end, there was no ultimate purity, no ultimate holy life, no ultimate end to the holy life. At that time, there was no escape from birth, old age, sickness, and death, crying and sorrow, and there was no way to be liberated from all suffering. Ananda! Now I have come into the world, the Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Fully Enlightened One, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Guide of the Law, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, called Buddha, the Blessed One. Now I am for my own benefit, and also for the benefit of others, for the benefit of many people, having compassion for the world, seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness. Now my teaching can reach its ultimate end, ultimate purity, ultimate holy life, and the ultimate end to the holy life.』
。我今得離生老病死、啼哭憂戚,我今已得脫一切苦。」
四洲經第三竟(二千三百五十三字)
(六一)中阿含王相應品牛糞喻經第四(初一日誦)
爾時,有一比丘在安靜處,燕坐思惟而作是念:「頗覆有色常住不變,而一向樂,恒久存耶?頗有覺、想、行、識常住不變,而一向樂,恒久存耶?」
彼一比丘則于晡時從燕坐起,往詣佛所,稽首作禮,卻坐一面,白曰:「世尊!我今在安靜處燕坐思惟而作是念:『頗覆有色常住不變,而一向樂,恒久存耶?頗有覺、想、行、識常住不變,而一向樂,恒久存耶?』」
佛告比丘:「無有一色常住不變,而一向樂,恒久存者,無有覺、想、行、識常住不變,而一向樂,恒久存者。」
於是,世尊以手指爪抄少牛糞,告曰:「比丘!汝今見我以手指爪抄少牛糞耶?」
比丘白曰:「見也。世尊!」
佛復告曰比丘:「如是,無有少色常住不變,而一向樂,恒久存也。如是,無有少覺、想、行、識常住不變,而一向樂,恒久存也。所以者何?比丘!我憶昔時長夜作福,長作福已,長受樂報
現代漢語譯本:我今天得以脫離生老病死、啼哭憂愁,我今天已經解脫了一切痛苦。 佛陀這樣說道。尊者阿難和眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 《四洲經》第三部分結束(共二千三百五十三字)。 (六一)《中阿含王相應品牛糞喻經》第四(初一日誦) 當時,有一位比丘在安靜的地方,靜坐思惟,心中這樣想:『是否有什麼色是常住不變,而且永遠快樂,恒久存在的呢?是否有什麼覺、想、行、識是常住不變,而且永遠快樂,恒久存在的呢?』 那位比丘在傍晚時分從靜坐中起身,前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,然後坐在一旁,稟告說:『世尊!我今天在安靜的地方靜坐思惟,心中這樣想:『是否有什麼色是常住不變,而且永遠快樂,恒久存在的呢?是否有什麼覺、想、行、識是常住不變,而且永遠快樂,恒久存在的呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『沒有任何色是常住不變,而且永遠快樂,恒久存在的;也沒有任何覺、想、行、識是常住不變,而且永遠快樂,恒久存在的。』 於是,世尊用手指甲抄起少許牛糞,告訴比丘說:『比丘!你現在看到我用手指甲抄起少許牛糞了嗎?』 比丘回答說:『看到了,世尊!』 佛陀又告訴比丘說:『正是這樣,沒有任何少許的色是常住不變,而且永遠快樂,恒久存在的。正是這樣,沒有任何少許的覺、想、行、識是常住不變,而且永遠快樂,恒久存在的。這是為什麼呢?比丘!我回憶過去長久以來行善積福,行善積福之後,長久地享受快樂的果報。
English version: Today, I have been able to escape from birth, old age, sickness, death, weeping, and sorrow. Today, I have been liberated from all suffering. The third part of the 'Four Continents Sutra' concludes (2,353 words in total). (61) The fourth 'Cow Dung Simile Sutra' of the 'Middle Length Discourses, King's Chapter' At that time, there was a monk in a quiet place, sitting in meditation, thinking to himself: 'Is there any form that is permanent, unchanging, always pleasant, and eternally existing? Is there any feeling, perception, mental formation, or consciousness that is permanent, unchanging, always pleasant, and eternally existing?' That monk then arose from his meditation in the late afternoon, went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head in respect, sat to one side, and said: 'Venerable Sir, today I was in a quiet place, sitting in meditation, thinking to myself: 'Is there any form that is permanent, unchanging, always pleasant, and eternally existing? Is there any feeling, perception, mental formation, or consciousness that is permanent, unchanging, always pleasant, and eternally existing?' The Buddha said to the monk: 'There is no form that is permanent, unchanging, always pleasant, and eternally existing; nor is there any feeling, perception, mental formation, or consciousness that is permanent, unchanging, always pleasant, and eternally existing.' Then, the World Honored One picked up a small amount of cow dung with his fingernail and said: 'Monk, do you see me picking up a small amount of cow dung with my fingernail?' The monk replied: 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha further said to the monk: 'Just so, there is no small amount of form that is permanent, unchanging, always pleasant, and eternally existing. Just so, there is no small amount of feeling, perception, mental formation, or consciousness that is permanent, unchanging, always pleasant, and eternally existing. Why is that? Monk, I recall that in the past, for a long time, I performed meritorious deeds, and having performed meritorious deeds, I have long enjoyed the rewards of happiness.'

Among those eighty-four thousand great cities, there was one city, extremely wealthy and prosperous, with many people, named Kosavati, where I regularly lived. Monks! Among those eighty-four thousand chariots, there was one chariot, adorned with various beautiful lion, tiger, and leopard skins, woven with various colors, decorated in various ways, extremely fast, named the Sound of Joy Chariot, which I regularly rode, to go to the pleasure gardens. Monks! Among those eighty-four thousand horses, there was one horse, with a dark blue body, its head like a crow, named the King of Horses, which I regularly rode, to go to the pleasure gardens.
。比丘!彼八萬四千大象中,而有一象,舉體極白,七支盡正,名于娑賀象王,是我常所乘,至觀望園觀。
「比丘!我作此念:『是何業果,為何業報,令我今日有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神?』比丘!我復作此念:『是三業果,為三業報,令我今日有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神。一者佈施,二者調御,三者守護。』比丘!汝觀彼一切所有盡滅,如意足亦失。比丘!于意云何?色為有常,為無常耶?」
答曰:「無常也。世尊!」
復問曰:「若無常者,是苦,非苦耶?」
答曰:「苦、變易也。世尊!」
復問曰:「若無常、苦、變易法者,是多聞聖弟子頗受是我,是我所,我是彼所耶?」
答曰:「不也。世尊!」
復問曰:「比丘!于意云何?覺、想、行、識為有常,為無常耶?」
「是故,比丘!汝應如是學

English version: Monks! Among those eighty-four thousand elephants, there was one elephant, entirely white, with all seven limbs perfectly formed, named the Sahā elephant king, which I often rode to visit the Observation Garden. Monks! I thought to myself: 『What kind of karma, what kind of result, has caused me to have such great psychic power today, such great virtue, such great blessings, such great spiritual power?』 Monks! I further thought: 『It is the result of three kinds of karma, the retribution of three kinds of karma, that has caused me to have such great psychic power today, such great virtue, such great blessings, such great spiritual power. The first is giving, the second is self-control, and the third is protection.』 Monks! You see that all those things will eventually perish, and psychic power will also be lost. Monks! What do you think? Is form permanent or impermanent?』 They replied: 『Impermanent, O Lord!』 He asked again: 『If it is impermanent, is it suffering or not suffering?』 They replied: 『It is suffering, it is subject to change, O Lord!』 He asked again: 『If it is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, would a well-learned noble disciple cling to 『This is me,』 『This is mine,』 『I belong to him』?』 They replied: 『No, O Lord!』 He asked again: 『Monks! What do you think? Are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness permanent or impermanent?』 『Therefore, monks! You should train yourselves in this way.』
。若有色,或過去、或未來、或現在,或內、或外,或粗、或細,或好、或惡,或近、或遠,彼一切非我,非我所,我非彼所,當以慧觀知如真。若有覺、想、行、識,或過去、或未來、或現在,或內、或外,或粗、或細,或好、或惡,或近、或遠,彼一切非我,非我所,我非彼所,當以慧觀知如真。比丘!若多聞聖弟子如是觀者,彼便厭色,厭覺、想、行、識,厭已便無慾,無慾已便解脫,解脫已便知解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。」
於是,彼比丘聞佛所說,善受善持,即從坐起,稽首佛足,繞三匝而去。
彼比丘受佛化已,獨住遠離,心無放逸,修行精勤,彼獨住遠離,心無放逸,修行精勤已,族姓子所為,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,唯無上梵行訖,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。如是彼比丘知法已,乃至得阿羅訶。
現代漢語譯本:如果存在色,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細膩,無論是好還是壞,無論是近還是遠,這一切都不是我,不是我所擁有的,我也不是它們所擁有的,應當用智慧如實地觀察。如果存在感受、思想、行為、意識,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細膩,無論是好還是壞,無論是近還是遠,這一切都不是我,不是我所擁有的,我也不是它們所擁有的,應當用智慧如實地觀察。比丘們!如果多聞的聖弟子這樣觀察,他就會厭惡色,厭惡感受、思想、行為、意識,厭惡之後就會沒有慾望,沒有慾望之後就會解脫,解脫之後就會知道自己已經解脫,知道生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的事情已經做完,不再有來世,如實地知道真相。 於是,那位比丘聽了佛陀所說,很好地接受並記住了,就從座位上站起來,向佛陀的腳行禮,繞佛三圈后離開了。 那位比丘接受了佛陀的教化后,獨自居住在遠離喧囂的地方,心中沒有懈怠,精勤修行。他獨自居住在遠離喧囂的地方,心中沒有懈怠,精勤修行后,完成了族姓子出家所要完成的事情,剃除了鬚髮,穿上了袈裟,以堅定的信心捨棄了家庭,過上了無家可歸的修行生活,只爲了完成無上的清凈修行,在今生今世自己覺悟,自己作證併成就,知道生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的事情已經做完,不再有來世,如實地知道真相。就這樣,那位比丘瞭解了佛法,最終證得了阿羅漢果。 佛陀是這樣說的。那些比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地接受並奉行。
English version: If there is form, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether near or far, all of that is not me, not what is mine, and I am not what is theirs. One should observe this with wisdom as it truly is. If there are feelings, thoughts, volitions, or consciousness, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether near or far, all of that is not me, not what is mine, and I am not what is theirs. One should observe this with wisdom as it truly is. Monks! If a well-taught noble disciple observes in this way, he becomes disenchanted with form, disenchanted with feelings, thoughts, volitions, and consciousness. Being disenchanted, he becomes dispassionate. Through dispassion, he is liberated. When liberated, he knows that he is liberated. He knows that birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being, and he knows this as it truly is. Then, that monk, having heard what the Buddha said, well received and well remembered it, rose from his seat, bowed at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him three times, and departed. That monk, having received the Buddha's teaching, lived alone in seclusion, with a mind free from negligence, and practiced diligently. Having lived alone in seclusion, with a mind free from negligence, and practiced diligently, he accomplished what a clansman leaves home for, shaving off his hair and beard, putting on the yellow robe, with faith, leaving home, going forth from the household life into homelessness, solely for the sake of completing the unsurpassed holy life, realizing it for himself in this very life, knowing and witnessing it, knowing that birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being, and he knows this as it truly is. Thus, that monk, having understood the Dharma, eventually attained Arahantship. The Buddha spoke thus. Those monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

一時,佛游摩竭陀國,與大比丘眾俱,比丘一千悉無著、至真,本皆編髮,往詣王舍城摩竭陀邑。於是,摩竭陀王頻鞞娑邏聞世尊游摩竭陀國,與大比丘眾俱,比丘一千悉無著、至真,本皆編髮,來此王舍城摩竭陀邑。摩竭陀王頻鞞娑邏聞已,即集四種軍,像軍、馬軍、車軍,步軍,集四種軍已,與無數眾俱,長一由延,往詣佛所。於是,世尊遙見摩竭陀王頻鞞娑邏來,則便避道,往至善住尼拘類樹王下,敷尼師檀,結跏趺坐,及比丘眾。
摩竭陀王頻鞞娑邏遙見世尊在林樹間,端正姝好,猶星中月,光耀煒曄,晃若金山,相好具足,威神巍巍,諸根寂定,無有蔽礙,成就調御,息心靜默,見已下車。若諸王剎利以水灑頂,得為人主,整御大地,有五儀式:一者劍,二者蓋,三者天冠,四者珠柄拂,五者嚴飾屣,一切除卻,及四種軍,步進詣佛。到已作禮,三自稱名姓:「世尊!我是摩竭陀王洗尼頻鞞娑邏。」如是至三。
於是,世尊告曰:「大王!如是,如是。汝是摩竭陀王洗尼頻鞞娑邏
牛糞喻經第四結束(共一千六百三十三字) (六二)中阿含王相應品頻毗娑羅王迎佛經第五(初一日誦) 一時,佛陀在摩竭陀國游化,與眾多大比丘一同,一千位比丘都已無執著、達到真諦,原本都是編著頭髮的,前往王舍城摩竭陀邑。當時,摩竭陀國王頻毗娑羅聽說世尊在摩竭陀國游化,與眾多大比丘一同,一千位比丘都已無執著、達到真諦,原本都是編著頭髮的,來到這王舍城摩竭陀邑。摩竭陀國王頻毗娑羅聽聞后,立即集結四種軍隊,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,集結四種軍隊后,與無數隨從一同,行進一由延的距離,前往佛陀所在之處。這時,世尊遠遠看見摩竭陀國王頻毗娑羅前來,便避開道路,前往善住尼拘類樹王下,鋪上尼師檀,結跏趺坐,以及比丘眾也一同坐下。 摩竭陀國王頻毗娑羅遠遠看見世尊在樹林間,端正美好,如同星辰中的月亮,光芒閃耀,如同金山一般,相好具足,威嚴神聖,諸根寂靜,沒有遮蔽障礙,成就調御,內心平靜沉默,看見后便下車。那些以水灑頂的剎帝利王,成為一國之主,統治大地,有五種儀式:一是劍,二是傘蓋,三是天冠,四是珠柄拂塵,五是裝飾華麗的鞋子,全部除去,以及四種軍隊,步行前往佛陀之處。到達后,向佛陀行禮,三次自稱姓名:『世尊!我是摩竭陀國王洗尼頻毗娑羅。』這樣說了三次。 這時,世尊說道:『大王!是的,是的。你是摩竭陀國王洗尼頻毗娑羅。』
The Cow Dung Simile Sutra, Chapter Four, concludes (1633 words) (62) The Middle Agama, King Samyukta Chapter, King Bimbisara Welcomes the Buddha Sutra, Fifth (Recited on the first day) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Magadha, together with a large assembly of monks. One thousand monks, all without attachments and having attained the truth, who had originally worn their hair in braids, were going to the city of Rajagriha in Magadha. Then, King Bimbisara of Magadha heard that the World Honored One was traveling in the country of Magadha, together with a large assembly of monks. One thousand monks, all without attachments and having attained the truth, who had originally worn their hair in braids, had come to this city of Rajagriha in Magadha. Having heard this, King Bimbisara of Magadha immediately assembled four kinds of troops: elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry troops. Having assembled the four kinds of troops, together with countless followers, he traveled one yojana to where the Buddha was. Then, the World Honored One, seeing King Bimbisara of Magadha coming from afar, avoided the road and went to the foot of the well-established Nigrodha tree king, spread out a nisidana, and sat in the lotus position, as did the assembly of monks. King Bimbisara of Magadha, seeing the World Honored One from afar in the forest, upright and beautiful, like the moon among the stars, shining brightly, like a golden mountain, with all the marks of greatness, majestic and awe-inspiring, his senses tranquil, without any obstruction, having achieved self-control, his mind peaceful and silent, got out of his chariot. Those Kshatriya kings who have had water sprinkled on their heads, becoming rulers of a country, governing the land, have five rituals: first, a sword; second, a parasol; third, a heavenly crown; fourth, a jeweled fly whisk; and fifth, ornate shoes. He removed all of these, as well as the four kinds of troops, and walked to where the Buddha was. Having arrived, he bowed to the Buddha, and three times proclaimed his name: 'World Honored One! I am King Bimbisara of Magadha, Sreni.' He said this three times. Then, the World Honored One said: 'Great King! Yes, yes. You are King Bimbisara of Magadha, Sreni.'
於是,摩竭陀王洗尼頻鞞娑邏再三自稱名姓已,為佛作禮,卻坐一面。諸摩竭陀人或禮佛足,卻坐一面,或問訊佛,卻坐一面,或叉手向佛,卻坐一面,或遙見佛已,默然而坐。
爾時,尊者郁毗邏迦葉亦在眾坐。尊者郁毗羅迦葉是摩竭陀人意之所繫,謂大尊師,是無著真人。於是,摩竭陀人悉作是念:「沙門瞿曇從郁毗羅迦葉學梵行耶?為郁毗羅迦葉從沙門瞿曇學梵行耶?」
爾時,世尊即知摩竭陀人心之所念,便向尊者郁毗羅迦葉而說頌曰:
「郁毗見何等, 斷火來就此? 迦葉為我說, 所由不事火。 飲食種種味, 為欲故事火, 生中見如此, 是故不樂事。 迦葉意不樂, 飲食種種味, 何不樂天人? 迦葉為我說。」 「見寂靜滅盡, 無為不欲有, 更無有尊天, 是故不事火。 世尊為最勝, 世尊不邪思, 瞭解覺諸法, 我受最勝法。」
於是,世尊告曰:「迦葉!汝今當爲現如意足,令此眾會鹹得信樂。」
於是,尊者郁毗羅迦葉即如其像作如意足,便在坐沒,從東方出,飛騰虛空,現四種威儀,一行、二住、三坐、四臥
於是,摩竭陀國王洗尼頻鞞娑羅再三自報姓名后,向佛陀行禮,然後退坐一旁。其他摩竭陀人有的禮拜佛足,然後退坐一旁;有的向佛陀問候,然後退坐一旁;有的合掌向佛,然後退坐一旁;有的遠遠看見佛陀,便默默地坐下。 當時,尊者郁毗羅迦葉也在人群中。尊者郁毗羅迦葉是摩竭陀人心中所敬仰的,被認為是偉大的導師,是無執著的真人。於是,摩竭陀人都在想:『沙門瞿曇是向郁毗羅迦葉學習梵行呢?還是郁毗羅迦葉向沙門瞿曇學習梵行呢?』 這時,世尊知道摩竭陀人心中所想,便向尊者郁毗羅迦葉說了偈語: 『郁毗,你看到了什麼,才放棄祭火來到這裡?迦葉,請告訴我,你為何不再事奉火?是因為飲食的各種美味,才想事奉火嗎?我看到生命中是這樣的,所以不喜歡事奉火。迦葉,你不喜歡飲食的各種美味,為何不喜歡天人?迦葉,請告訴我。』 『我看到寂靜的滅盡,無為而不欲有,再也沒有更尊貴的天神,所以不再事奉火。世尊是最殊勝的,世尊沒有邪念,瞭解覺悟一切法,我接受這最殊勝的法。』 於是,世尊說道:『迦葉!你現在應當展現如意神通,讓在場的大眾都生起信樂。』 於是,尊者郁毗羅迦葉就按照他的形象展現如意神通,就在座位上消失,從東方出現,飛騰在空中,展現四種威儀:行走、站立、坐著、躺臥。
Then, King Bimbisara of Magadha, having repeatedly announced his name and lineage, paid homage to the Buddha and sat to one side. The people of Magadha, some bowed at the Buddha's feet and sat to one side, some greeted the Buddha and sat to one side, some folded their hands towards the Buddha and sat to one side, and some, having seen the Buddha from afar, sat in silence. At that time, the venerable Uruvilva Kashyapa was also among the assembly. The venerable Uruvilva Kashyapa was held in high regard by the people of Magadha, considered a great teacher and a true sage without attachments. So, the people of Magadha all thought: 'Did the Shramana Gautama learn the holy life from Uruvilva Kashyapa? Or did Uruvilva Kashyapa learn the holy life from the Shramana Gautama?' Then, the World-Honored One, knowing the thoughts in the minds of the Magadha people, spoke these verses to the venerable Uruvilva Kashyapa: 'Uruvilva, what did you see that you abandoned fire worship and came here? Kashyapa, tell me, why do you no longer serve fire? Is it for the sake of various delicious foods that you wanted to serve fire? I see it like this in life, therefore I do not enjoy serving fire. Kashyapa, you do not enjoy various delicious foods, why do you not enjoy the gods? Kashyapa, tell me.' 'I have seen the extinction of tranquility, the unconditioned and without desire for existence, there is no more venerable god, therefore I do not serve fire. The World-Honored One is the most supreme, the World-Honored One has no wrong thoughts, understands and awakens to all dharmas, I accept this most supreme dharma.' Then, the World-Honored One said: 'Kashyapa! You should now display your miraculous powers, so that this assembly may all gain faith and joy.' Then, the venerable Uruvilva Kashyapa, according to his form, displayed his miraculous powers, vanished from his seat, appeared from the east, flew into the sky, and displayed the four postures: walking, standing, sitting, and lying down.
。複次,入於火定,尊者郁毗羅迦葉入火定已,身中便出種種火焰,青、黃、赤、白中水精色,下身出火,上身出水,上身出火,下身出水,如是南、西、北方,飛騰虛空,現四種威儀,一行,二住,三坐,四臥。複次,入於火定,尊者郁毗羅迦葉入火定已,身中便出種種火焰,青、黃、赤、白中水精色,下身出火,上身出水,上身出火,下身出水。
於是,尊者郁毗羅迦葉止如意足已,為佛作禮,白曰:「世尊!佛是我師,我是佛弟子,佛一切智,我無一切智。」
世尊告曰:「如是。迦葉!如是。迦葉!我有一切智,汝無一切智。」
爾時,尊者郁毗羅迦葉因自己故,而說頌曰:
「昔無所知時, 為解脫事火, 雖老猶生盲, 邪不見真際。 我今見上跡, 無上龍所說, 無為盡脫苦, 見已生死盡。」
諸摩竭陀人見如此已,便作是念:「沙門瞿曇不從郁毗羅迦葉學梵行,郁毗羅迦葉從沙門瞿曇學梵行也。」
世尊知諸摩竭陀人心之所念,便為摩竭陀王洗尼頻鞞娑邏說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已
現代漢語譯本:再者,進入火定后,尊者郁毗羅迦葉進入火定后,身體便發出各種火焰,青色、黃色、紅色、白色以及水晶般的顏色。下半身出火,上半身出水;上半身出火,下半身出水。就這樣,在南方、西方、北方,他飛騰于虛空,展現出四種威儀:行走、站立、坐著、躺臥。再次,進入火定后,尊者郁毗羅迦葉進入火定后,身體便發出各種火焰,青色、黃色、紅色、白色以及水晶般的顏色。下半身出火,上半身出水;上半身出火,下半身出水。 於是,尊者郁毗羅迦葉停止瞭如意足的神通,向佛陀行禮,說道:『世尊!佛陀是我的老師,我是佛陀的弟子。佛陀具有一切智慧,我沒有一切智慧。』 世尊說道:『是的,迦葉!是的,迦葉!我具有一切智慧,你沒有一切智慧。』 當時,尊者郁毗羅迦葉因為自己的緣故,而說了偈頌: 『過去無知的時候,爲了解脫而事奉火,雖然年老仍然像盲人一樣,邪見而不能見到真理的邊際。我現在見到了至上的足跡,這是無上的龍所說的,無為而徹底解脫痛苦,見到後生死就終結了。』 那些摩竭陀人看到這種情況后,便這樣想:『沙門瞿曇不是向郁毗羅迦葉學習梵行,而是郁毗羅迦葉向沙門瞿曇學習梵行。』 世尊知道那些摩竭陀人心中所想,便為摩竭陀國王頻婆娑羅說法,勸導他們生起渴求,成就歡喜。用無量的方法為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求,成就歡喜后。
English version: Furthermore, having entered the fire samadhi, Venerable Uruvilva Kashyapa, upon entering the fire samadhi, emitted various flames from his body, blue, yellow, red, white, and crystal-like in color. Fire emerged from his lower body, and water from his upper body; fire from his upper body, and water from his lower body. Thus, in the south, west, and north, he soared into the sky, displaying four kinds of deportment: walking, standing, sitting, and lying down. Again, having entered the fire samadhi, Venerable Uruvilva Kashyapa, upon entering the fire samadhi, emitted various flames from his body, blue, yellow, red, white, and crystal-like in color. Fire emerged from his lower body, and water from his upper body; fire from his upper body, and water from his lower body. Then, Venerable Uruvilva Kashyapa, having ceased his miraculous power of the 'wish-fulfilling foot,' bowed to the Buddha and said, 'Venerable One! The Buddha is my teacher, and I am the Buddha's disciple. The Buddha possesses all wisdom, and I do not possess all wisdom.' The World-Honored One said, 'So it is, Kashyapa! So it is, Kashyapa! I possess all wisdom, and you do not possess all wisdom.' At that time, Venerable Uruvilva Kashyapa, because of his own experience, spoke this verse: 'In the past, when I was ignorant, I served fire for liberation; though old, I was still like a blind man, with wrong views, unable to see the true reality. Now I have seen the supreme path, spoken by the supreme dragon; through non-action, suffering is completely overcome; having seen this, birth and death are ended.' When the people of Magadha saw this, they thought, 'The Shramana Gautama is not learning the holy life from Uruvilva Kashyapa, but rather Uruvilva Kashyapa is learning the holy life from the Shramana Gautama.' The World-Honored One, knowing the thoughts in the minds of the people of Magadha, then taught the Dharma to King Bimbisara of Magadha, encouraging them to develop longing and achieve joy. He taught them the Dharma using countless methods, encouraging them to develop longing and achieve joy.
。如諸佛法,先說端正法,聞者歡悅,謂說施、說戒、說生天法,毀呰欲為災患,生死為穢,稱歎無慾為妙道品白凈,世尊為彼大王說之。佛已知彼有歡喜心、具足心、柔軟心、堪耐心、升上心、一向心、無疑心、無盡心,有能、有力堪受正法,謂如諸佛所說正要,世尊即為彼說苦、習、滅、道。「大王!色生滅,汝當知色生滅。大王!覺、想、行、識生滅,汝當知識生滅。大王!猶如大雨時,水上之泡或生或滅。大王!色生滅亦如是,汝當知色生滅。大王!覺、想、行、識生滅,汝當知識生滅。
「大王!若族姓子知色生滅,便知不復生當來色。大王!若族姓子知覺、想、行、識生滅,便知不復生當來識。大王!若族姓子知色如真,便不著色,不計色,不染色,不住色,不樂色是我。大王!若族姓子知覺、想、行、識如真,便不著識,不計識,不染識,不住識,不樂識是我。大王!若族姓子不著色,不計色,不染色,不住色,不樂色是我者,便不復更受當來色。大王!若族姓子不著覺、想、行、識,不計識,不染識,不住識,不樂識是我者,便不復更受當來識。大王!此族姓子無量、不可計、無限,得息寂,若舍此五陰已,則不更受陰也
現代漢語譯本:如同諸佛所教導的,先說使人端正的法,聽聞者會感到歡喜,即講述佈施、持戒、以及能夠昇天的法門,同時指出慾望是災禍的根源,生死是污穢的,讚美無慾是通往清凈的妙道。世尊為那位大王宣說了這些。佛陀知道他已生起歡喜心、具足心、柔軟心、堪耐心、向上心、專一的心、無疑的心、無盡的心,具備了能夠接受正法的能力和力量,也就是諸佛所說的正要。世尊就為他講述了苦、集、滅、道四聖諦。『大王!色是生滅的,你應該知道色的生滅。大王!感受、思想、行為、意識也是生滅的,你應該知道它們的生滅。大王!就像下大雨時,水面上的泡沫時而生起時而破滅一樣。大王!色的生滅也是如此,你應該知道色的生滅。大王!感受、思想、行為、意識的生滅也是如此,你應該知道它們的生滅。』 『大王!如果善男子知道色的生滅,就會明白不再會有未來的色產生。大王!如果善男子知道感受、思想、行為、意識的生滅,就會明白不再會有未來的意識產生。大王!如果善男子如實地瞭解色,就不會執著於色,不會計較色,不會被色所污染,不會停留在色上,也不會樂於認為色是『我』。大王!如果善男子如實地瞭解感受、思想、行為、意識,就不會執著于意識,不會計較意識,不會被意識所污染,不會停留在意識上,也不會樂於認為意識是『我』。大王!如果善男子不執著於色,不計較色,不被色所污染,不停留在色上,不樂於認為色是『我』,那麼就不會再承受未來的色。大王!如果善男子不執著于感受、思想、行為、意識,不計較意識,不被意識所污染,不停留在意識上,不樂於認為意識是『我』,那麼就不會再承受未來的意識。大王!這樣的善男子是無量、不可計數、無限的,能夠達到寂滅,一旦捨棄了這五蘊,就不會再承受五蘊了。』
English version: Just as the Buddhas teach, first, the Dharma that leads to righteousness is spoken, which brings joy to the listeners. This includes teachings on giving, morality, and the path to heavenly rebirth, while also pointing out that desire is the root of suffering, and that birth and death are impure. It praises the state of non-desire as the wonderful path to purity. The World Honored One spoke these things to the great king. The Buddha knew that he had developed a joyful heart, a complete heart, a gentle heart, a patient heart, an aspiring heart, a focused heart, a heart without doubt, and an inexhaustible heart. He possessed the ability and strength to receive the true Dharma, which is the essence of what the Buddhas teach. The World Honored One then explained to him the Four Noble Truths: suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path to its cessation. 'Great King! Form is subject to arising and ceasing, you should understand the arising and ceasing of form. Great King! Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also subject to arising and ceasing, you should understand their arising and ceasing. Great King! Just like bubbles on the water during heavy rain, they arise and then disappear. Great King! The arising and ceasing of form is also like this, you should understand the arising and ceasing of form. Great King! The arising and ceasing of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness is also like this, you should understand their arising and ceasing.' 'Great King! If a virtuous person understands the arising and ceasing of form, they will know that there will be no future form arising. Great King! If a virtuous person understands the arising and ceasing of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, they will know that there will be no future consciousness arising. Great King! If a virtuous person truly understands form, they will not be attached to form, will not be concerned with form, will not be defiled by form, will not dwell in form, and will not delight in thinking that form is 'I'. Great King! If a virtuous person truly understands feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, they will not be attached to consciousness, will not be concerned with consciousness, will not be defiled by consciousness, will not dwell in consciousness, and will not delight in thinking that consciousness is 'I'. Great King! If a virtuous person is not attached to form, not concerned with form, not defiled by form, does not dwell in form, and does not delight in thinking that form is 'I', then they will no longer experience future form. Great King! If a virtuous person is not attached to feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, not concerned with consciousness, not defiled by consciousness, does not dwell in consciousness, and does not delight in thinking that consciousness is 'I', then they will no longer experience future consciousness. Great King! Such a virtuous person is immeasurable, countless, and limitless, able to attain tranquility. Once they have abandoned these five aggregates, they will no longer experience the aggregates.'
於是,諸摩竭陀人而作是念:「若使色無常,覺、想、行、識無常者,誰活?誰受苦樂?」
世尊即知摩竭陀人心之所念,便告比丘:「愚癡凡夫不有所聞,見我是我而著於我,但無我、無我所,空我、空我所。法生則生,法滅則滅,皆由因緣合會生苦,若無因緣,諸苦便滅。眾生因緣會相連續則生諸法,如來見眾生相連續生已,便作是說:『有生有死,我以清凈天眼出過於人,見此眾生死時、生時,好色、惡色,或妙、不妙,往來善處及不善處,隨此眾生之所作業,見其如真。若此眾產生就身惡行,口、意惡行,誹謗聖人,邪見成就邪見業,彼因緣此,身壞命終,必至惡處,生地獄中。若此眾產生就身善行,口、意善行,不誹謗聖人,正見成就正見業,彼因緣此,身壞命終,必升善處,乃至天上。』我知彼如是,然不語彼,此是我為能覺、能語、作教、作起、教起,謂彼彼處受善惡業報,于中或有作是念:『此不相應,此不得住,其行如法,因此生彼,若無此因便不生彼,因此有彼,若此滅者,彼便滅也。』所謂緣無明有行,乃至緣生有老死,若無明滅,則行便滅,乃至生滅則老死滅。大王!于意云何?色為有常,為無常耶?」
答曰:「無常也
於是,摩揭陀人心中想:『如果色是無常的,感受、思想、行為、意識也是無常的,那麼誰在活著?誰在承受苦樂?』 世尊知道摩揭陀人心中所想,便告訴比丘們:『愚癡的凡夫因為沒有聽聞佛法,認為有「我」而執著于「我」,但實際上沒有「我」,也沒有「我所擁有」,只有空性的「我」和空性的「我所擁有」。法生起則生起,法滅則滅,一切都是由因緣和合而產生痛苦。如果沒有因緣,一切痛苦就會熄滅。眾生因緣相續不斷,所以產生諸法。如來看到眾生相續不斷地產生,就說:「有生有死。」我以清凈的天眼,超越常人,看到眾生死時和生時,他們的好壞美醜,以及往來善處和不善處,都隨著他們所造的業而顯現,真實不虛。如果眾生造作身惡行、口惡行、意惡行,誹謗聖人,持有邪見並造作邪見之業,他們就會因為這些因緣,身壞命終后,必定墮入惡道,進入地獄。如果眾生造作身善行、口善行、意善行,不誹謗聖人,持有正見並造作正見之業,他們就會因為這些因緣,身壞命終后,必定升入善道,乃至天上。』我知道這些,但我不直接告訴他們,因為我能覺悟、能說法、能教導、能發起、能引導他們,讓他們在不同的地方承受善惡業報。其中或許有人會想:『這不相應,這不能成立,其行為如法,因此產生彼果,如果沒有此因,就不會產生彼果,因此有此,才有彼,如果此滅,彼也會滅。』所謂緣于無明而有行,乃至緣于生而有老死。如果無明滅,則行滅,乃至生滅則老死滅。大王,你認為如何?色是有常的,還是無常的呢?」 回答說:『是無常的。』
Then, the people of Magadha thought: 'If form is impermanent, and so are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, then who lives? Who experiences suffering and joy?' The World Honored One, knowing what the people of Magadha were thinking, told the monks: 'Ignorant ordinary people, not having heard the Dharma, see a 'self' and cling to that 'self'. But there is no 'self', nor is there 'what belongs to self'. There is only the emptiness of 'self' and the emptiness of 'what belongs to self'. When a dharma arises, it arises; when a dharma ceases, it ceases. All suffering arises from the coming together of causes and conditions. If there are no causes and conditions, all suffering will cease. Because the causes and conditions of sentient beings continue, all dharmas arise. The Tathagata, seeing the continuous arising of sentient beings, says: 'There is birth and death.' With my pure heavenly eye, surpassing ordinary people, I see beings at the time of their death and at the time of their birth, their good and bad appearances, and their going to good and bad places, all according to the karma they have created, and it is true. If a sentient being engages in evil actions of body, speech, and mind, slanders the sages, holds wrong views, and creates wrong karma, then because of these causes and conditions, when their body breaks and their life ends, they will surely fall into evil realms and go to hell. If a sentient being engages in good actions of body, speech, and mind, does not slander the sages, holds right views, and creates right karma, then because of these causes and conditions, when their body breaks and their life ends, they will surely ascend to good realms, even to the heavens.' I know these things, but I do not tell them directly, because I am able to awaken, to speak the Dharma, to teach, to initiate, and to guide them, so that they may experience the results of their good and bad karma in different places. Among them, some might think: 'This is not consistent, this cannot be established. Their actions are in accordance with the Dharma, and therefore that result arises. If there is no such cause, that result will not arise. Because there is this, there is that. If this ceases, that will also cease.' That is to say, conditioned by ignorance, there are actions, and so on, conditioned by birth, there is old age and death. If ignorance ceases, then actions cease, and so on, if birth ceases, then old age and death cease. Great King, what do you think? Is form permanent or impermanent?' He replied: 'It is impermanent.'
「大王!于意云何?覺、想、行、識為有常,為無常耶?」
「大王。是故汝當如是學。若有色,或過去、或未來、或現在,或內、或外,或粗、或細,或好、或惡,或近、或遠,彼一切非我,非我所,我非彼所,當以慧觀知如真,大王。若有覺、想、行、識,或過去、或未來、或現在,或內、或外,或粗、或細,或好、或惡,或近、或遠,彼一切非我,非我所,我非彼所,當以慧觀知如真。大王!若多聞聖弟子如是觀者,彼便厭色,厭覺、想、行、識,厭已便無慾,無慾已便得解脫,解脫已便知解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真
回答說:『是苦,是變易的。世尊!』 又問:『如果無常、苦、變易的法,是多聞的聖弟子會認為「這是我」,「這是我的」,「我是屬於他的」嗎?』 回答說:『不會的。世尊!』 『大王!你認為如何?感覺、思想、行為、意識是有常的,還是無常的呢?』 回答說:『是無常的。世尊!』 『大王!因此你應當這樣學習。如果有色,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是好、壞,無論是近、遠,那一切都不是我,不是我的,我不是屬於它的,應當用智慧如實地觀察瞭解。大王!如果有感覺、思想、行為、意識,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是好、壞,無論是近、遠,那一切都不是我,不是我的,我不是屬於它的,應當用智慧如實地觀察瞭解。大王!如果多聞的聖弟子這樣觀察,他就會厭惡色,厭惡感覺、思想、行為、意識,厭惡之後就會沒有慾望,沒有慾望之後就會得到解脫,解脫之後就會知道自己已經解脫,生命已經終結,清凈的行為已經建立,該做的已經完成,不再受輪迴,如實地知道。』
English version: 『Venerable One!』 He further asked: 『If it is impermanent, is it suffering or not suffering?』 He replied: 『It is suffering, it is subject to change, Venerable One!』 He further asked: 『If it is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, would a well-learned noble disciple consider 「This is me,」 「This is mine,」 or 「I am of this」?』 He replied: 『No, Venerable One!』 『Great King! What do you think? Are feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness permanent or impermanent?』 He replied: 『Impermanent, Venerable One!』 『Great King, therefore you should train yourself thus: Whatever form there is, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether near or far, all of that is not me, not mine, I am not of that; you should understand this with wisdom as it truly is. Great King, whatever feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness there are, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether near or far, all of that is not me, not mine, I am not of that; you should understand this with wisdom as it truly is. Great King, if a well-learned noble disciple observes in this way, he becomes disenchanted with form, disenchanted with feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness. Being disenchanted, he becomes dispassionate. Being dispassionate, he is liberated. Being liberated, he knows that he is liberated. Birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being, he knows this as it truly is.』
佛說此法時,摩竭陀王洗尼頻鞞娑邏遠塵離垢,諸法法眼生,及八萬天、摩竭陀諸人萬二千,遠塵離垢,諸法法眼生。於是,摩竭陀王洗尼頻鞞娑邏見法得法,覺白凈法,斷疑度惑,更無餘尊,不復從他,無有猶豫,已住果證,於世尊法得無所畏,即從坐起,稽首佛足,白曰:「世尊!我今自歸於佛、法及比丘眾,唯愿世尊受我為優婆塞,從今日始,終身自歸,乃至命盡。」
佛說如是。摩竭陀王洗尼頻鞞娑邏及八萬天,摩竭諸人萬二千,及千比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

When the Buddha was teaching this Dharma, King Bimbisara of Magadha was cleansed of defilement, and the Dharma eye arose in him regarding all phenomena. Also, eighty thousand devas and twelve thousand people of Magadha were cleansed of defilement, and the Dharma eye arose in them regarding all phenomena. Then, King Bimbisara of Magadha saw the Dharma, attained the Dharma, awakened to the pure Dharma, cut off doubt, and was no longer dependent on other venerables, no longer followed others, had no hesitation, had already dwelt in the fruit of attainment, and had fearlessness in the Dharma of the World Honored One. He immediately rose from his seat, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and said: 'World Honored One! I now take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha of Bhikkhus. May the World Honored One accept me as a lay disciple, from this day forward, I take refuge for life, until the end of my life.' The Buddha spoke thus. King Bimbisara of Magadha, as well as eighty thousand devas, twelve thousand people of Magadha, and one thousand bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The fifth chapter of 'The Sutra of King Bimbisara Welcoming the Buddha' is complete (2,220 words). The eleventh scroll of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' (7,996 words). Taisho Tripitaka Volume 01, No. 0026, 'Madhyama Agama Sutra'. The twelfth scroll of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra'. (63) The sixth chapter of 'The Vibhalangika Sutra' from the 'Madhyama Agama King Corresponding Section' (recited on the first day of the month). At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Kosala. At that time, the World Honored One was walking on the road with a large assembly of bhikkhus, and in the middle of the road, he smiled with joy. Venerable Ananda saw the World Honored One smile, clasped his hands towards the Buddha, and said: 'World Honored One! What is the cause and condition for your smile? The Tathagatas, the Arhats, the Perfectly Enlightened Ones, if there is no cause and condition, will not smile without reason. I wish to hear its meaning.' At that time, the World Honored One said: 'Ananda! In this place, the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, sat in this place and taught the Dharma to his disciples.'
於是,尊者阿難即在彼處速疾敷座,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!唯愿世尊亦坐此處,為弟子說法,如是此處為二如來、無所著、等正覺所行。」
爾時,世尊便於彼處坐尊者阿難所敷之座,坐已,告曰:「阿難!此處所中,迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺有講堂,迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺于中坐已,為弟子說法。阿難!此處所中昔有村邑,名鞞婆陵耆,極大豐樂,多有人民。阿難!鞞婆陵耆村邑之中有梵志大長者,名曰無恚,極大富樂,資財無量,畜牧產業不可稱計,封戶食邑種種具足。阿難!梵志大長者無恚有子,名優多羅摩納,為父母所舉,受生清凈,乃至七世父母不絕種族,生生無惡,博聞總持,誦過四典經,深達因、緣、正、文、戲五句說。阿難!優多羅童子有善朋友,名難提波羅陶師,常為優多羅童子之所愛念,喜見無厭。
「阿難!難提波羅陶師歸佛、歸法、歸比丘眾,不疑三尊,不惑苦、習、滅、道,得信、持戒、博聞、惠施、成就智慧,離殺、斷殺、棄捨刀杖,有慚有愧,有慈悲心,饒益一切乃至蜫蟲,彼于殺生凈除其心。阿難!難提波羅陶師離不與取,斷不與取,與之乃取,樂於與取,常好佈施,歡喜無吝,不望其報,彼于不與取凈除其心
於是,尊者阿難立刻在那裡迅速鋪設座位,合掌向佛,說道:『世尊!愿世尊也坐在這裡,為弟子們說法,這樣這裡就成為兩位如來、無所執著、正等覺者所行之處。』 當時,世尊就在那裡坐上了尊者阿難鋪設的座位,坐下後,說道:『阿難!這個地方,迦葉如來、無所執著、正等覺者曾有講堂,迦葉如來、無所執著、正等覺者曾坐于其中,為弟子們說法。阿難!這個地方以前有個村莊,名叫鞞婆陵耆,非常繁榮富庶,人口眾多。阿難!鞞婆陵耆村莊中有一位婆羅門大長者,名叫無恚,極其富有,資財無數,畜牧產業不可計數,封地食邑各種條件都具備。阿難!婆羅門大長者無恚有個兒子,名叫優多羅摩納,為父母所生,出生清凈,乃至七世父母不絕種族,生生世世沒有惡行,博聞強記,通曉四部經典,深入瞭解因、緣、正、文、戲五種說法。阿難!優多羅童子有個好朋友,名叫難提波羅陶師,常常被優多羅童子所喜愛,見到他從不厭倦。 『阿難!難提波羅陶師皈依佛、皈依法、皈依僧眾,對三寶沒有疑惑,對苦、集、滅、道沒有迷惑,獲得了信仰、持戒、博聞、佈施、成就智慧,遠離殺生、斷絕殺生、捨棄刀杖,有慚愧心,有慈悲心,饒益一切眾生乃至昆蟲,他對於殺生清凈了內心。阿難!難提波羅陶師遠離不予而取,斷絕不予而取,給予才取,樂於給予,常常喜歡佈施,歡喜而不吝嗇,不期望回報,他對於不予而取清凈了內心。』
Then, the venerable Ananda quickly spread out a seat there, clasped his hands towards the Buddha, and said: 'World Honored One! May the World Honored One also sit here and preach the Dharma to the disciples, so that this place will be where two Tathagatas, the unattached, the fully enlightened ones, have walked.' At that time, the World Honored One sat on the seat spread out by the venerable Ananda, and after sitting, said: 'Ananda! In this place, the Tathagata Kasyapa, the unattached, the fully enlightened one, had a lecture hall. The Tathagata Kasyapa, the unattached, the fully enlightened one, sat in it and preached the Dharma to the disciples. Ananda! In this place, there used to be a village called Bhibhalingi, which was extremely prosperous and had a large population. Ananda! In the village of Bhibhalingi, there was a Brahmin elder named Wu Hui, who was extremely wealthy, with immeasurable assets, countless livestock, and various kinds of fiefdoms and stipends. Ananda! The Brahmin elder Wu Hui had a son named Uttara Manava, who was born of his parents, with a pure birth, and for seven generations his parents' lineage had not been broken. In every life, he had no evil deeds, was learned and had a good memory, was versed in the four Vedas, and deeply understood the five kinds of teachings: cause, condition, correctness, text, and play. Ananda! The boy Uttara had a good friend named Nandipala the potter, who was always loved by Uttara, and he never tired of seeing him.' 'Ananda! Nandipala the potter took refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, had no doubts about the Three Jewels, was not confused about suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path, and attained faith, observance of precepts, learning, generosity, and the achievement of wisdom. He abstained from killing, cut off killing, abandoned weapons, had a sense of shame and remorse, had a compassionate heart, and benefited all beings, even insects. He purified his mind from killing. Ananda! Nandipala the potter abstained from taking what was not given, cut off taking what was not given, only took what was given, enjoyed giving, always liked to give, was happy and not stingy, and did not expect any reward. He purified his mind from taking what was not given.'

「爾時,優多羅童子乘白馬車,與五百童子俱,過夜平旦,從鞞婆陵耆村邑出,往至一無事處,欲教若干國來諸弟子等,令讀梵志書。於是,優多羅童子遙見難提波羅陶師來,見已便問:『難提波羅!汝從何來?』難提波羅答曰:『我今從迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺所供養禮事來。優多羅!汝可共我往詣迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺所供養禮事。』於是,優多羅童子答曰:『難提波羅!我不欲見禿頭沙門,禿沙門不應得道,道難得故。』於是,難提波羅陶師捉優多羅童子頭髻,牽令下車。於是,優多羅童子便作是念:『此難提波羅陶師常不調戲,不狂不癡,今捉我頭髻,必當有以。』念已,語曰:『難提波羅!我隨汝去,我隨汝去

'Ananda! Nandi-pala the potter served his parents throughout his life. His parents were blind and relied solely on others, which is why he served them.' 'Ananda! Nandi-pala the potter, at dawn, went to where Kashyapa Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One was. Having arrived, he paid homage and sat to one side. Kashyapa Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One, taught him the Dharma, encouraging him to develop longing and achieve joy. He taught him the Dharma with countless skillful means, encouraging him to develop longing and achieve joy, and then remained silent. Ananda! Then, Nandi-pala the potter, having been taught the Dharma by Kashyapa Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One, and having been encouraged to develop longing and achieve joy, rose from his seat, paid homage to the feet of Kashyapa Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One, circumambulated him three times, and departed.' 'At that time, Uttara the youth, riding in a white horse-drawn chariot with five hundred youths, at dawn, left the village of Bhebalingika and went to a secluded place, intending to teach the disciples from various countries to read the Brahmin scriptures. Then, Uttara the youth saw Nandi-pala the potter coming from afar. Upon seeing him, he asked: 'Nandi-pala! Where are you coming from?' Nandi-pala replied: 'I have just come from paying homage to Kashyapa Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One. Uttara! You can come with me to pay homage to Kashyapa Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One.' Then, Uttara the youth replied: 'Nandi-pala! I do not wish to see those bald-headed ascetics. Bald-headed ascetics cannot attain enlightenment, because enlightenment is difficult to attain.' Then, Nandi-pala the potter grabbed Uttara the youth by his topknot and pulled him down from the chariot. Then, Uttara the youth thought: 'This Nandi-pala the potter is usually not mischievous, not crazy or foolish. Now that he has grabbed my topknot, there must be a reason.' Having thought this, he said: 'Nandi-pala! I will go with you, I will go with you.'

「於是,難提波羅陶師與優多羅童子共往詣迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺所,到已作禮,卻坐一面。難提波羅陶師白迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺曰:『世尊!此優多羅童子是我朋友,彼常見愛,常喜見我,無有厭足。彼於世尊無信敬心,唯愿世尊善為說法,令彼歡喜得信敬心。』於是,迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺為難提波羅陶師及優多羅童子說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,默然而住。於是,難提波羅陶師及優多羅童子,迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺為其說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,即從坐起,禮迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺足,繞三匝而去。
「於是,優多羅童子還去不遠,問曰:『難提波羅!汝從迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺得聞如是微妙之法,何意住家?不能捨離學聖道耶?』於是,難提波羅陶師答曰:『優多羅!汝自知我盡形壽供養父母,父母無目,唯仰於人,我以供養侍父母故。』於是,優多羅童子問難提波羅:『我可得從迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺出家學道,受于具足,得作比丘,行梵行耶?』於是,難提波羅陶師及優多羅童子即從彼處復往詣迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺所,到已作禮,卻坐一面
現代漢語譯本:難提波羅聽了這話,回答說:『你走吧,很好。』 於是,難提波羅陶師和優多羅童子一同前往迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺所在的地方,到達後行禮,然後退坐在一旁。難提波羅陶師對迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺說:『世尊!這位優多羅童子是我的朋友,他經常喜歡我,總是喜歡見到我,從不感到厭倦。但他對世尊沒有信敬之心,希望世尊能為他好好說法,讓他歡喜併產生信敬之心。』於是,迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺為難提波羅陶師和優多羅童子說法,勸導他們生起渴求之心,成就歡喜,用無量的方法為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求之心,成就歡喜后,便默然不語。於是,難提波羅陶師和優多羅童子,聽了迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求之心,成就歡喜后,就從座位上站起來,向迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺的腳行禮,然後繞著他走了三圈離去。 於是,優多羅童子離開不遠,問道:『難提波羅!你從迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺那裡聽聞了如此微妙的佛法,為什麼還要住在家裡?不能捨棄世俗去學習聖道呢?』於是,難提波羅陶師回答說:『優多羅!你自己知道我一生都要供養父母,我的父母雙目失明,只能依靠別人,我爲了供養侍奉父母的緣故,才不能出家。』於是,優多羅童子問難提波羅:『我可以從迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺那裡出家學道,受具足戒,成為比丘,修行梵行嗎?』於是,難提波羅陶師和優多羅童子就從那裡再次前往迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺所在的地方,到達後行禮,然後退坐在一旁。
English version: Upon hearing this, Nandi-pala replied, 'Go then, it is well.' Then, Nandi-pala the potter and the youth Uttara went together to where the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One was. Having arrived, they paid their respects and sat down to one side. Nandi-pala the potter said to the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One, 'Venerable Sir, this youth Uttara is my friend. He often loves me, always likes to see me, and is never tired of it. However, he has no faith or respect for the Venerable One. I wish that the Venerable One would kindly preach the Dharma to him, so that he may be pleased and develop faith and respect.' Then, the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One, preached the Dharma to Nandi-pala the potter and the youth Uttara, encouraging them to develop a thirst for it and achieve joy. He preached to them with countless skillful means, encouraging them to develop a thirst for it and achieve joy, and then remained silent. Then, Nandi-pala the potter and the youth Uttara, having heard the Dharma preached by the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One, which encouraged them to develop a thirst for it and achieve joy, rose from their seats, paid their respects to the feet of the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One, and circumambulated him three times before leaving. Then, the youth Uttara, having not gone far, asked, 'Nandi-pala, having heard such wonderful Dharma from the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One, why do you still live at home? Why can't you abandon the world to study the holy path?' Then, Nandi-pala the potter replied, 'Uttara, you know that I must support my parents for the rest of my life. My parents are blind and can only rely on others. It is because I must support and serve my parents that I cannot leave home.' Then, the youth Uttara asked Nandi-pala, 'Can I leave home to study the path under the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One, receive full ordination, become a Bhikkhu, and practice the holy life?' Then, Nandi-pala the potter and the youth Uttara went again from that place to where the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One was. Having arrived, they paid their respects and sat down to one side.
「難提波羅陶師白迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺曰:『世尊!此優多羅童子還去不遠,而問我言:「難提波羅!汝從迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺得聞如是微妙之法,何意住家?不能捨離學聖道耶?」世尊!我答彼曰:「優多羅!汝自知我盡形壽供養父母,父母無目,唯仰於人,我以供養侍父母故。」優多羅復問我曰:「難提波羅!我可得從迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺出家學道,受于具足,得作比丘,行梵行耶?」愿世尊度彼出家學道,授與具足,得作比丘。』迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺為難提波羅默然而受。於是,難提波羅陶師知迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺默然受已,即從坐起,稽首作禮,繞三匝而去。
「於是,迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺,難提波羅去後不久,度優多羅童子出家學道,授與具足,出家學道。授與具足已,于鞞婆陵耆村邑隨住數日,攝持衣缽,與大比丘眾俱共遊行,欲至波羅㮈迦私國邑,展轉游行,便到波羅㮈迦私國邑,游波羅㮈住仙人處鹿野園中。
「於是,頰鞞王聞迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺遊行迦私國,與大比丘眾俱,到此波羅㮈住仙人處鹿野園中。頰鞞王聞已,告御者曰:『汝可嚴駕,我今欲往詣迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺所。』時,彼御者受王教已,即便嚴駕
難提波羅陶師對迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺說:『世尊!這個優多羅童子剛走不遠,就問我:「難提波羅!你從迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺那裡聽聞如此微妙的佛法,為什麼還待在家裡?不能捨棄世俗去修習聖道呢?」世尊!我回答他說:「優多羅!你知道我一生都要供養父母,我的父母雙目失明,只能依靠別人,我爲了供養侍奉父母才留在家中。」優多羅又問我:「難提波羅!我可以從迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺那裡出家學道,受具足戒,成為比丘,修行梵行嗎?」愿世尊允許他出家學道,授予他具足戒,讓他成為比丘。』迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺默許了難提波羅的請求。於是,難提波羅陶師知道迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺默許后,就從座位上起身,向佛稽首作禮,繞佛三圈后離開了。 『之後不久,迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺在難提波羅離開后,就允許優多羅童子出家學道,授予他具足戒,讓他出家學道。授予具足戒后,在鞞婆陵耆村邑住了幾天,收拾好衣缽,與眾多比丘一起出發,想要前往波羅㮈迦私國邑,一路輾轉,便到達了波羅㮈迦私國邑,在波羅㮈的仙人居住的鹿野園中安住。 『這時,頰鞞王聽說迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺來到了迦私國,與眾多比丘一起,住在波羅㮈的仙人居住的鹿野園中。頰鞞王聽聞后,告訴御者說:『你準備好車駕,我現在要前往拜見迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺。』當時,御者接受了國王的命令,立即準備好了車駕。
The potter Nandipala said to Kashyapa Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha: 'Venerable Sir! That young man Uttara has not gone far, and he asked me: 「Nandipala! You have heard such wonderful Dharma from Kashyapa Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha, why do you still live at home? Why can't you renounce the world and practice the holy path?」 Venerable Sir! I replied to him: 「Uttara! You know that I will support my parents for my whole life. My parents are blind and rely on others. I stay at home to support and serve my parents.」 Uttara then asked me: 「Nandipala! Can I leave home and practice the Dharma under Kashyapa Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha, receive full ordination, become a Bhikkhu, and practice the Brahmacharya?」 May the Venerable Sir allow him to leave home and practice the Dharma, grant him full ordination, and let him become a Bhikkhu.' Kashyapa Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha silently accepted Nandipala's request. Then, the potter Nandipala, knowing that Kashyapa Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha had silently accepted, rose from his seat, bowed his head in reverence, circumambulated the Buddha three times, and left. 'Not long after, after Nandipala left, Kashyapa Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha allowed the young man Uttara to leave home and practice the Dharma, granted him full ordination, and let him leave home and practice the Dharma. After granting full ordination, he stayed in the village of Bhebalingika for a few days, gathered his robes and bowl, and set off with many Bhikkhus, intending to go to the city of Varanasi in Kashi. After traveling from place to place, they arrived at the city of Varanasi in Kashi and stayed in the Deer Park, where the ascetics lived in Varanasi. 'At that time, King Jabhya heard that Kashyapa Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha had arrived in Kashi, and was staying with many Bhikkhus in the Deer Park, where the ascetics lived in Varanasi. Upon hearing this, King Jabhya told his charioteer: 「Prepare the chariot, I now wish to go and visit Kashyapa Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha.」 At that time, the charioteer, having received the king's order, immediately prepared the chariot.'
。嚴駕已訖,還白王曰:『已嚴好車,隨天王意。』
「於是,頰鞞王乘好車已,從波羅㮈出,往詣仙人住處鹿野園中。時,頰鞞王遙見樹間迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺,端正姝好,猶星中月,光耀煒曄,晃若金山,相好具足,威神巍巍,諸根寂定,無有蔽礙,成就調御,息心靜默。見已下車,步詣迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺所,到已作禮,卻坐一面。頰鞞王坐一面已,迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,默然而住。
「於是,頰鞞王,迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺為其說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手而向,白迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺曰:『唯愿世尊明受我請,及比丘眾。』迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺為頰鞞王默然受請。於是,頰鞞王知迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺默然受已,稽首作禮,繞三匝而去,還歸其家。于夜施設極美凈妙種種豐饒食啖含消,即于其夜供辦已訖,平旦敷床唱曰:『世尊!今時已到,食具已辦,唯愿世尊以時臨顧。』
「於是,迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺過夜平旦,著衣持缽,諸比丘眾侍從世尊,往詣頰鞞王家,在比丘眾上敷座而坐
現代漢語譯本:車駕準備完畢后,他回去稟告國王說:『已經準備好車輛,聽從天王的旨意。』 於是,頰鞞王乘坐好車,從波羅奈城出發,前往仙人居住的鹿野園。當時,頰鞞王遠遠看見樹林間的迦葉如來、無所執著、正等正覺,容貌端正美好,如同星辰中的月亮,光芒閃耀,如同金山一般,相貌莊嚴,威儀神聖,諸根寂靜,沒有遮蔽障礙,成就調御,內心平靜沉默。看見后,他下車,步行到迦葉如來、無所執著、正等正覺所在之處,到達後行禮,退坐在一旁。頰鞞王坐在一旁后,迦葉如來、無所執著、正等正覺為他說法,勸導他生起渴求和仰慕之心,成就歡喜,用無量方便為他說法,勸導他生起渴求和仰慕之心,成就歡喜后,便默然不語。 於是,頰鞞王,迦葉如來、無所執著、正等正覺為他說法,勸導他生起渴求和仰慕之心,成就歡喜后,便從座位起身,袒露右肩,雙手合十,面向迦葉如來、無所執著、正等正覺說:『唯愿世尊慈悲接受我的邀請,以及比丘僧眾的邀請。』迦葉如來、無所執著、正等正覺默然接受了頰鞞王的邀請。於是,頰鞞王知道迦葉如來、無所執著、正等正覺默然接受后,便頂禮叩拜,繞佛三圈后離去,返回家中。當夜,他準備了極其精美潔凈、各種豐盛的食物,當夜準備完畢后,清晨鋪好床鋪,說道:『世尊!現在時間已到,食物已經準備好,唯愿世尊按時前來。』 於是,迦葉如來、無所執著、正等正覺過夜后,清晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,眾比丘跟隨世尊,前往頰鞞王的家,在比丘眾之上鋪設座位坐下。
English version: Having completed the preparations for the carriage, he returned and reported to the king, saying, 'The carriage is ready, as Your Majesty wishes.' Then, King Jabhī rode in the fine carriage, departed from Varanasi, and went to the Deer Park where the ascetic was staying. At that time, King Jabhī saw from afar, among the trees, the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, like the moon among the stars, shining brightly, like a golden mountain, with all the marks of greatness, majestic and divine, his senses tranquil, without any obstruction, accomplished in self-control, with a peaceful and silent mind. Upon seeing him, he got out of the carriage and walked to where the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One was. Having arrived, he paid his respects and sat down to one side. After King Jabhī had sat down to one side, the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, taught him the Dharma, encouraging him to develop longing and aspiration, and to achieve joy. He taught him the Dharma with countless skillful means, encouraging him to develop longing and aspiration, and to achieve joy, and then remained silent. Then, King Jabhī, after the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, had taught him the Dharma, encouraging him to develop longing and aspiration, and to achieve joy, rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, and with his palms together, facing the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, said, 'May the World-Honored One graciously accept my invitation, as well as the invitation of the community of monks.' The Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, silently accepted King Jabhī's invitation. Then, King Jabhī, knowing that the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, had silently accepted, bowed his head in reverence, circumambulated the Buddha three times, and departed, returning to his home. That night, he prepared extremely exquisite, pure, and abundant food of various kinds. Having completed the preparations that night, he spread out the bedding at dawn and announced, 'World-Honored One! The time has come, and the food is prepared. May the World-Honored One come at the appointed time.' Then, the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, after the night had passed, at dawn, put on his robes, took his bowl, and with the community of monks attending the World-Honored One, went to King Jabhī's house, and sat down on the seat prepared above the community of monks.
。於是,頰鞞王見佛及比丘眾坐已,自行澡水,以極美凈妙種種豐饒食啖含消,手自斟酌,令得飽滿,食訖收器,行澡水竟,敷一小床,別坐聽法。頰鞞王坐已,迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,默然而住。
「於是,頰鞞王,迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺為其說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手而向,白迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺曰:『唯愿世尊於此波羅㮈受我夏坐,及比丘眾,我為世尊作五百房、五百床褥,及施拘執如此白粳米。王之所食種種諸味,飯飼世尊及比丘眾。』迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺告頰鞞王曰:『止!止!大王!但心喜足。』頰鞞王如是至再三,叉手而向,白迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺曰:『唯愿世尊於此波羅㮈受我夏坐,及比丘眾,我為世尊作五百房、五百床褥,及施拘執如此白粳米。王之所食種種諸味,飯飼世尊及比丘眾。』迦葉如來、無所著、等正覺亦再三告頰鞞王曰:『止!止!大王!但心喜足。』

English version: Then, King Jabhī saw the Buddha and the assembly of monks seated, he personally prepared water for washing, and offered extremely exquisite, clean, and abundant food of various kinds, allowing everyone to eat their fill. He personally poured drinks, and after everyone had finished eating, he collected the utensils and again prepared water for washing. After that, he laid out a small bed and sat alone to listen to the Dharma. Once King Jabhī was seated, the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached, the Perfectly Enlightened One, preached the Dharma to him, encouraging him to develop a thirst for it and to achieve joy. The Tathagata used countless skillful means to preach the Dharma to him, encouraging him to develop a thirst for it and to achieve joy, and then remained silent. English version: Then, the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached, the Perfectly Enlightened One, preached the Dharma to King Jabhī, encouraging him to develop a thirst for it and to achieve joy. King Jabhī immediately rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, and with his palms together, faced the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached, the Perfectly Enlightened One, and said: 'May the World Honored One accept my summer retreat offering here in this Parana, as well as the offering for the assembly of monks. I will build five hundred dwellings and five hundred beds for the World Honored One, and offer white rice as much as a 'kujih'. I will use all kinds of delicacies that the king eats to offer to the World Honored One and the assembly of monks.' The Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached, the Perfectly Enlightened One, told King Jabhī: 'Enough! Enough! Great King! It is enough to have joy in your heart.' King Jabhī requested this two or three times, with his palms together, facing the Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached, the Perfectly Enlightened One, and said: 'May the World Honored One accept my summer retreat offering here in this Parana, as well as the offering for the assembly of monks. I will build five hundred dwellings and five hundred beds for the World Honored One, and offer white rice as much as a 'kujih'. I will use all kinds of delicacies that the king eats to offer to the World Honored One and the assembly of monks.' The Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached, the Perfectly Enlightened One, also told King Jabhī two or three times: 'Enough! Enough! Great King! It is enough to have joy in your heart.' English version: Then, King Jabhī felt unbearable and unwilling to accept this outcome, and was very worried in his heart: 'The Tathagata Kasyapa, the Unattached, the Perfectly Enlightened One, is unwilling to accept my summer retreat offering here in this Parana, as well as the offering for the assembly of monks.'

佛陀告訴阿難:『你認為如何?當時的童子優多羅,你認為他是別人嗎?不要這樣想,應當知道他就是我。阿難!我那時爲了自己利益,也爲了利益他人,利益很多人,憐憫世間,為天人和人尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。那時說法沒有達到究竟,沒有究竟清凈,沒有究竟梵行,沒有究竟梵行結束。那時沒有脫離生老病死、啼哭憂愁,也沒有能夠解脫一切痛苦。阿難!我現在出世,如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成就、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊,我現在爲了自己利益,也爲了利益他人,利益很多人,憐憫世間,為天人和人尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。我現在說法達到究竟,究竟清凈,究竟梵行,究竟梵行結束。我現在已經脫離生老病死、啼哭憂愁,我現在已經解脫一切痛苦。』 佛陀這樣說。尊者阿難和眾比丘,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《鞞婆陵耆經》第六完(五千七百三十四字) (六四)《中阿含王相應品天使經》第七(初一日誦) 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我以清凈的天眼,超越常人,看見這些眾生死時、生時,好色、惡色,或者美妙、不美妙,往來善處和不善處,隨著這些眾生所造的業,看見他們真實的情況。』
The Buddha said to Ananda: 'What do you think? Was the boy Uttara at that time someone else? Do not think so, you should know that he was me. Ananda! At that time, I was for my own benefit, and also for the benefit of others, for the benefit of many, having compassion for the world, seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness. At that time, the teaching did not reach the ultimate, did not reach ultimate purity, did not reach ultimate holy life, did not reach the end of ultimate holy life. At that time, I had not escaped birth, old age, sickness, death, weeping, and sorrow, nor had I been able to escape all suffering. Ananda! Now I have come into the world, as the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Guide of Men, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, called Buddha, the Blessed One. Now I am for my own benefit, and also for the benefit of others, for the benefit of many, having compassion for the world, seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness. Now my teaching has reached the ultimate, ultimate purity, ultimate holy life, the end of ultimate holy life. Now I have escaped birth, old age, sickness, death, weeping, and sorrow, and now I have escaped all suffering.' The sixth chapter of the 'Bhebalangki Sutra' is complete (5,734 words). (64) The seventh chapter of the 'Middle Agama King Corresponding Chapter Angel Sutra' (recited on the first day). At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Shravasti, staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'With my pure heavenly eye, surpassing that of ordinary people, I see these beings at the time of their death and birth, with good or bad appearances, or beautiful or not beautiful, going to good or bad places, according to the karma these beings have created, seeing their true situation.'

This being, when he was a human, was not filial to his parents, did not know how to respect the Shramanas and Brahmins, did not act according to the truth, did not do good deeds, and did not fear the sins of the next life.

'O King!' Yama then asked, 'Have you not seen in a village, whether man or woman, suffering from severe illness, either sitting or lying on a bed, or sitting or lying on a couch, or sitting or lying on the ground, their bodies experiencing extreme and unbearable suffering, causing them to shorten their lives?' That person replied, 'I have seen it, O King!' Yama then asked, 'When you were conscious afterwards, why did you not think, 「I am subject to the law of illness, I cannot escape illness, I should practice good deeds with my body, speech, and mind」?' That person replied, 'O King! Am I completely ruined, forever lost?' Yama said, 'You are completely ruined, forever lost. Now you will be punished, just like those who indulge in reckless behavior. These evil deeds of yours were not done by your parents, not by the king, not by the gods, nor by the ascetics or Brahmins. You yourself committed these evil and unwholesome deeds, therefore you must now bear the consequences.' Having thus questioned, examined, taught, and rebuked with the third messenger, Yama then questioned, examined, taught, and rebuked with the fourth messenger: 'Have you ever seen the fourth messenger come?' That person replied, 'I have not seen it, O King!' Yama then asked, 'Have you not seen in a village, whether man or woman, at the time of death, either for one or two days, up to six or seven days, being pecked at by crows and vultures, eaten by jackals and wolves, or burned by fire, or buried in the ground, or rotting and decaying?' That person replied, 'I have seen it, O King!' Yama then asked, 'When you were conscious afterwards, why did you not think, 「I am subject to the law of death, I cannot escape death, I should practice good deeds with my body, speech, and mind」?'
。」』彼人白曰:『天王!我了敗壞,長衰永失耶?』閻王告曰:『汝了敗壞,長衰永失,今當考汝,如治放逸行、放逸人,汝此惡業非父母為,非王非天,亦非沙門、梵志所為,汝本自作惡不善業,是故汝今必當受報。』
「閻王以此第四天使善問、善撿、善教、善訶已,復以第五天使善問、善撿、善教、善訶:『汝頗曾見第五天使來耶?』彼人答曰:『不見也。天王!』閻王復問:『汝本不見王人捉犯罪人,種種考治,截手、截足、或截手足,截耳、截鼻、或截耳鼻,或臠臠割,拔鬚、拔髮、或拔鬚發,或著檻中衣裹火燒,或以沙壅草纏火燒,或內鐵驢腹中,或著鐵豬口中,或置鐵虎口中燒,或安銅釜中,或著鐵釜中煮,或段段截,或利叉刺,或以鉤鉤,或臥鐵床以沸油澆,或坐鐵臼以鐵杵搗,或以龍蛇𧎴,或以鞭鞭,或以杖撾,或以棒打,或生貫高標上,或梟其首耶?』彼人答曰:『見也。天王!』閻王復問:『汝于其後有識知時,何不作是念:「我今現見惡不善法。」』彼人白曰:『天王!我了敗壞,長衰永失耶?』閻王告曰:『汝了敗壞,長衰永失。今當考汝,如治放逸行、放逸人,汝此惡業非父母為,非王非天,亦非沙門、梵志所為,汝本自作惡不善業,是故汝今必當受報
現代漢語譯本:那人回答說:『天王!我是否已經徹底敗壞,將永遠衰敗喪失呢?』閻王說:『你已經徹底敗壞,將永遠衰敗喪失。現在應當懲罰你,就像懲罰那些放縱行為、放縱的人一樣。你這些惡業不是父母所為,不是國王或天神所為,也不是沙門或婆羅門所為,是你自己造作的惡不善業,所以你現在必定要承受報應。』 閻王用這第四位天使善加詢問、善加檢查、善加教導、善加呵斥之後,又用第五位天使善加詢問、善加檢查、善加教導、善加呵斥:『你是否曾見過第五位天使來過?』那人回答說:『沒有見過。天王!』閻王又問:『你以前沒有見過官吏捉拿罪犯,用各種刑罰懲治,砍手、砍腳,或者砍手砍腳,割耳朵、割鼻子,或者割耳朵鼻子,或者一塊塊割肉,拔鬍鬚、拔頭髮,或者拔鬍鬚頭髮,或者關在籠子里用衣服裹著火燒,或者用沙土掩埋用草纏著火燒,或者放在鐵驢肚子里,或者放在鐵豬嘴裡,或者放在鐵虎嘴裡燒,或者放在銅鍋里,或者放在鐵鍋里煮,或者一段段砍斷,或者用利叉刺,或者用鉤子鉤,或者躺在鐵床上用沸油澆,或者坐在鐵臼里用鐵杵搗,或者被龍蛇咬,或者用鞭子抽,或者用棍子打,或者用棒子敲,或者活著穿在高桿上,或者砍下頭顱嗎?』那人回答說:『見過。天王!』閻王又問:『你在這之後有意識的時候,為什麼不這樣想:「我現在親眼見到惡不善的法。」』那人回答說:『天王!我是否已經徹底敗壞,將永遠衰敗喪失呢?』閻王說:『你已經徹底敗壞,將永遠衰敗喪失。現在應當懲罰你,就像懲罰那些放縱行為、放縱的人一樣。你這些惡業不是父母所為,不是國王或天神所為,也不是沙門或婆羅門所為,是你自己造作的惡不善業,所以你現在必定要承受報應。』
English version: The person replied, 『O King of Heaven! Am I utterly ruined, to be forever in decline and loss?』 Yama said, 『You are utterly ruined, to be forever in decline and loss. Now you shall be punished, just as those who engage in and are indulgent in their actions are punished. These evil deeds of yours were not done by your parents, nor by the king or gods, nor by ascetics or Brahmins, but by your own doing of evil and unwholesome deeds, therefore you must now receive the consequences.』 After Yama had questioned, examined, taught, and rebuked with this fourth angel, he again questioned, examined, taught, and rebuked with the fifth angel: 『Have you ever seen the fifth angel come?』 The person replied, 『No, O King of Heaven!』 Yama then asked, 『Have you not seen officials capture criminals, and punish them with various tortures, cutting off hands, cutting off feet, or cutting off both hands and feet, cutting off ears, cutting off noses, or cutting off both ears and noses, or cutting off pieces of flesh, pulling out beards, pulling out hair, or pulling out both beards and hair, or being placed in a cage wrapped in cloth and burned with fire, or being buried in sand wrapped in grass and burned with fire, or being placed inside the belly of an iron donkey, or placed in the mouth of an iron pig, or placed in the mouth of an iron tiger to be burned, or placed in a copper cauldron, or placed in an iron cauldron to be boiled, or cut into pieces, or pierced with sharp forks, or hooked with hooks, or lying on an iron bed and poured with boiling oil, or sitting in an iron mortar and pounded with an iron pestle, or bitten by dragons and snakes, or whipped with whips, or struck with sticks, or beaten with rods, or impaled alive on high poles, or having their heads cut off?』 The person replied, 『I have seen it, O King of Heaven!』 Yama then asked, 『After that, when you were conscious, why did you not think, 「I am now seeing evil and unwholesome things」?』 The person replied, 『O King of Heaven! Am I utterly ruined, to be forever in decline and loss?』 Yama said, 『You are utterly ruined, to be forever in decline and loss. Now you shall be punished, just as those who engage in and are indulgent in their actions are punished. These evil deeds of yours were not done by your parents, nor by the king or gods, nor by ascetics or Brahmins, but by your own doing of evil and unwholesome deeds, therefore you must now receive the consequences.』
「閻王以此第五天使善問、善撿、善教、善訶已,即付獄卒。獄卒便捉持,著四門大地獄中,於是頌曰:
「『四柱有四門, 壁方十二楞, 以鐵為垣墻, 其上鐵覆蓋。 地獄內鐵地, 熾燃鐵火布, 深無量由延, 乃至地底住。 極惡不可受, 火色難可視, 見已身毛豎, 恐懼怖甚苦。 彼墮生地獄, 腳上頭在下, 誹謗諸聖人, 調御善清善。』
「有時於後極大久遠,為彼眾生故,四門大地獄東門便開。東門開已,彼眾生等走來趣向,欲求安處,求所歸依,彼若集聚無量百千已,地獄東門便還自閉,彼于其中受極重苦,啼哭喚呼,心悶臥地,終不得死,要令彼惡不善業盡。極大久遠,南門、西門、北門復開。北門開已,彼眾生等走來趣向,欲求安處,求所歸依,彼若集聚無量百千已,地獄北門復還自閉,彼于其中受極重苦,啼哭喚呼,心悶臥地,終不得死,要令彼惡不善業盡。
「復於後時極大久遠,彼眾生等從四門大地獄出,四門大地獄次生峯巖地獄,火滿其中,無煙無焰,令行其上,往來周旋。彼之兩足皮肉及血,下足則盡,舉足則生,還復如故。治彼如是無量百千歲,受極重苦,終不得死,要令彼惡不善業盡
『閻王在第五天使善於提問、善於檢查、善於教導、善於呵斥之後,就將他交給獄卒。獄卒便抓住他,把他關進四門大地獄中,於是唱頌道: 『四根柱子有四道門,墻壁呈十二棱形,用鐵做成圍墻,上面用鐵覆蓋。地獄內部是鐵地,鋪滿了熾熱的鐵火,深不可測,一直延伸到地底。那裡極其惡劣,難以忍受,火焰的顏色難以直視,看到后令人毛骨悚然,恐懼至極,痛苦不堪。他們墮入這個地獄,腳朝上頭朝下,因為他們誹謗諸位聖人,調御善行、清凈善良的人。』 『有時,在極其久遠之後,爲了那些眾生,四門大地獄的東門便會打開。東門打開后,那些眾生便跑來,想要尋求安身之處,尋求依靠。當他們聚集了無數百千之後,地獄的東門便會再次關閉,他們在其中遭受極重的痛苦,啼哭呼喊,心煩意亂地躺在地上,始終無法死去,必須等到他們惡劣的不善業消盡。極其久遠之後,南門、西門、北門也會依次打開。北門打開后,那些眾生便跑來,想要尋求安身之處,尋求依靠。當他們聚集了無數百千之後,地獄的北門便會再次關閉,他們在其中遭受極重的痛苦,啼哭呼喊,心煩意亂地躺在地上,始終無法死去,必須等到他們惡劣的不善業消盡。 『又在之後極其久遠的時間裡,那些眾生從四門大地獄出來,進入四門大地獄之後的峯巖地獄,那裡充滿了火焰,沒有煙也沒有火焰,讓他們在上面行走,來回轉動。他們的雙腳皮肉和血,腳落下去就消失,抬起來又會重新長出,恢復原樣。這樣折磨他們無數百千年,遭受極重的痛苦,始終無法死去,必須等到他們惡劣的不善業消盡。』
'After the Yama judged the fifth angel to be good at questioning, good at examining, good at teaching, and good at rebuking, he handed him over to the prison guards. The prison guards then seized him and placed him in the great four-gated hell, and then chanted a verse: 'Four pillars have four gates, the walls are twelve-sided, with iron as the ramparts, and iron covering the top. The inside of the hell is iron ground, covered with blazing iron fire, immeasurably deep, extending all the way to the bottom of the earth. It is extremely evil and unbearable, the color of the flames is hard to look at, and seeing it makes one's hair stand on end, filled with extreme fear and suffering. They fall into this hell, feet up and head down, because they slandered the saints, those who guide good conduct and are pure and virtuous.' 'Sometimes, after a very long time, for the sake of those beings, the east gate of the great four-gated hell will open. Once the east gate opens, those beings will run towards it, seeking a place of rest, seeking refuge. When they have gathered in countless hundreds and thousands, the east gate of the hell will close again, and they will suffer extreme pain within, crying and shouting, lying on the ground in distress, never able to die, until their evil and unwholesome karma is exhausted. After a very long time, the south, west, and north gates will also open in turn. Once the north gate opens, those beings will run towards it, seeking a place of rest, seeking refuge. When they have gathered in countless hundreds and thousands, the north gate of the hell will close again, and they will suffer extreme pain within, crying and shouting, lying on the ground in distress, never able to die, until their evil and unwholesome karma is exhausted.' 'And after a very long time, those beings will emerge from the great four-gated hell and enter the peak-rock hell that follows the great four-gated hell, which is filled with fire, without smoke or flames, and they are made to walk on it, going back and forth. The skin, flesh, and blood of their feet disappear when they step down, and grow back when they lift their feet, returning to their original state. They are tormented like this for countless hundreds and thousands of years, suffering extreme pain, never able to die, until their evil and unwholesome karma is exhausted.'
「復於後時極大久遠,彼眾生等從峯巖大地獄出,峯巖大地獄次生糞屎大地獄,滿中糞屎,深無量百丈。彼眾生等盡墮其中,彼糞屎大地獄中生眾多蟲,蟲名凌瞿來,身白頭黑,其觜如針,此蟲鉆破彼眾生足,破彼足已,復破膞腸骨,破膞腸骨已,復破髀骨,破髀骨已,復破臗骨,破臗骨已,復破脊骨,破脊骨已,復破肩骨、頸骨、頭骨,破頭骨已,食頭腦盡。彼眾生等如是逼迫無量百千歲,受極重苦,終不得死,要令彼惡不善業盡。
「復於後時極大久遠,彼眾生等從糞屎大地獄出,糞屎大地獄次生鐵鍱林大地獄,彼眾生見已,起清涼想,便作是念:『我等往彼,快得清涼。』彼眾生等走往趣向,欲求安處,求所歸依,彼若集聚無量百千已,便入鐵鍱林大地獄中。彼鐵鍱林大地獄中,四方則有大熱風來,熱風來已,鐵鍱便落,鐵鍱落時,截手、截足、或截手足,截耳、截鼻、或截耳鼻及余支節,截身血涂無量百千歲,受極重苦,終不得死,要令彼惡不善業盡。複次,彼鐵鍱林大地獄中生極大狗,牙齒極長,攬彼眾生,從足剝皮,至頭便食,從頭剝皮,至足便食。彼眾生等如是逼迫無量百千歲,受極重苦,終不得死,要令彼惡不善業盡
『又過了極其久遠的時間,那些眾生從峯巖大地獄出來,峯巖大地獄之後是糞屎大地獄,裡面充滿了糞便和污穢,深達無量百丈。那些眾生都墮入其中,這糞屎大地獄中生出許多蟲子,蟲子名叫凌瞿來,身體白色,頭是黑色的,它們的嘴像針一樣。這些蟲子鉆破那些眾生的腳,破了腳之後,又破開小腿骨,破了小腿骨之後,又破開大腿骨,破了大腿骨之後,又破開髖骨,破了髖骨之後,又破開脊椎骨,破了脊椎骨之後,又破開肩骨、頸骨、頭骨,破了頭骨之後,吃盡了頭腦。那些眾生就這樣被折磨無量百千歲,遭受極重的痛苦,始終不能死去,一定要等到他們惡劣的不善業消盡。』 『又過了極其久遠的時間,那些眾生從糞屎大地獄出來,糞屎大地獄之後是鐵鍱林大地獄,那些眾生看到后,產生了清涼的想法,便這樣想:『我們到那裡去,很快就能得到清涼。』那些眾生跑著前往,想要尋求安身之處,尋求依靠,他們聚集了無量百千之後,便進入了鐵鍱林大地獄中。這鐵鍱林大地獄中,四面八方都有大熱風吹來,熱風吹來之後,鐵鍱便落下,鐵鍱落下時,截斷手、截斷腳、或者截斷手腳,截斷耳朵、截斷鼻子、或者截斷耳鼻以及其他肢體,截斷身體,鮮血塗滿,無量百千歲,遭受極重的痛苦,始終不能死去,一定要等到他們惡劣的不善業消盡。此外,這鐵鍱林大地獄中生出極大的狗,牙齒極長,抓住那些眾生,從腳開始剝皮,直到頭就吃掉,從頭開始剝皮,直到腳就吃掉。那些眾生就這樣被折磨無量百千歲,遭受極重的痛苦,始終不能死去,一定要等到他們惡劣的不善業消盡。』
'Again, after an extremely long time, those beings emerge from the Peak Rock Great Hell. Following the Peak Rock Great Hell is the Excrement Great Hell, filled with excrement and filth, reaching a depth of immeasurable hundreds of fathoms. All those beings fall into it. In this Excrement Great Hell, many insects are born, called Ling Qu Lai, with white bodies and black heads, their mouths like needles. These insects pierce the feet of those beings, and after piercing the feet, they pierce the shin bones, and after piercing the shin bones, they pierce the thigh bones, and after piercing the thigh bones, they pierce the hip bones, and after piercing the hip bones, they pierce the spine, and after piercing the spine, they pierce the shoulder bones, neck bones, and skull. After piercing the skull, they devour the brains. Those beings are tormented in this way for immeasurable hundreds of thousands of years, enduring extreme suffering, never able to die, until their evil and unwholesome karma is exhausted.' 'Again, after an extremely long time, those beings emerge from the Excrement Great Hell. Following the Excrement Great Hell is the Iron Shard Forest Great Hell. When those beings see it, they have a thought of coolness, and they think: 『If we go there, we will quickly find coolness.』 Those beings run towards it, seeking a place of rest, seeking refuge. After they gather in immeasurable hundreds of thousands, they enter the Iron Shard Forest Great Hell. In this Iron Shard Forest Great Hell, great hot winds come from all four directions. When the hot winds come, the iron shards fall, and when the iron shards fall, they cut off hands, cut off feet, or cut off hands and feet, cut off ears, cut off noses, or cut off ears and noses and other limbs, cutting the body, covering it with blood for immeasurable hundreds of thousands of years, enduring extreme suffering, never able to die, until their evil and unwholesome karma is exhausted. Furthermore, in this Iron Shard Forest Great Hell, extremely large dogs are born, with extremely long teeth. They seize those beings, peel their skin from their feet to their heads and eat them, and peel their skin from their heads to their feet and eat them. Those beings are tormented in this way for immeasurable hundreds of thousands of years, enduring extreme suffering, never able to die, until their evil and unwholesome karma is exhausted.'
。複次,彼鐵鍱林大地獄中生大烏鳥,兩頭鐵喙,住眾生額,生挑眼吞,啄破頭骨,取腦而食。彼眾生等如是逼迫無量百千歲,受極重苦,終不得死,要令彼惡不善業盡。
「復於後時極大久遠,彼眾生等從鐵鍱林大地獄出,鐵鍱林大地獄次生鐵劍樹林大地獄,彼大劍樹高一由延,刺長尺六,令彼眾生使緣上下,彼上樹時,刺便下向,若下樹時,刺便上向。彼劍樹刺貫刺眾生,刺手、刺足、或刺手足,刺耳、刺鼻、或刺耳鼻及余支節,刺身血涂無量百千歲,受極重苦,終不得死,要令彼惡不善業盡。
「復於後時極大久遠,彼眾生等從鐵劍樹林大地獄出,鐵劍樹林大地獄次生灰河,兩岸極高,周遍生刺,沸灰湯滿,其中極闇,彼眾生見已,起冷水想,當有冷水。彼起想已,便作是念:『我等往彼,于中洗浴,恣意飽飲,快得涼樂。』彼眾生等競走趣向,入于其中,欲求樂處,求所歸依,彼若集聚無量百千已,便墮灰河。墮灰河已,順流、逆流、或順逆流,彼眾生等順流、逆流、順逆流時,皮熟墮落,肉熟墮落,或皮肉熟俱時墮落,唯骨𩪑在。灰河兩岸有地獄卒,手捉刀劍、大棒、鐵叉,彼眾生等欲度上岸,彼時獄卒還推著中
現代漢語譯本:再者,在那鐵鍱林大地獄中,會生出巨大的烏鳥,長著兩個鐵喙,停留在眾生的額頭上,生生挖出他們的眼睛吞食,啄破他們的頭骨,取出腦髓吃掉。那些眾生就這樣遭受無量百千年的折磨,承受著極其深重的痛苦,始終無法死去,一定要等到他們所造的惡業都消盡。 過了極其久遠的時間,那些眾生從鐵鍱林大地獄出來,鐵鍱林大地獄之後是鐵劍樹林大地獄。那些巨大的劍樹高一由延,樹刺長一尺六寸,讓那些眾生攀緣上下。當他們向上爬樹時,樹刺就向下刺;當他們向下爬樹時,樹刺就向上刺。那些劍樹的刺貫穿刺入眾生的身體,刺穿他們的手、腳,或者手腳一起刺穿,刺穿他們的耳朵、鼻子,或者耳朵鼻子一起刺穿,以及其他肢體關節,刺得他們渾身血污。他們這樣遭受無量百千年的折磨,承受著極其深重的痛苦,始終無法死去,一定要等到他們所造的惡業都消盡。 又過了極其久遠的時間,那些眾生從鐵劍樹林大地獄出來,鐵劍樹林大地獄之後是灰河。灰河兩岸極高,周圍長滿荊棘,裡面充滿沸騰的灰湯,極其黑暗。那些眾生看到后,以為是冷水,心想那裡有冷水。他們產生這種想法后,就想著:『我們到那裡去,在裡面洗浴,盡情暢飲,好好涼快一下。』那些眾生爭先恐後地跑過去,進入其中,想要尋求快樂的地方,尋求可以依靠的地方。當他們聚集了無量百千之後,就都掉進了灰河。掉進灰河后,他們順流、逆流、或者順逆流,那些眾生在順流、逆流、順逆流時,面板被煮爛脫落,肌肉被煮爛脫落,或者皮肉同時被煮爛脫落,只剩下骨頭。灰河兩岸有地獄獄卒,手裡拿著刀劍、大棒、鐵叉。那些眾生想要爬上岸,這時獄卒又把他們推回河中。
English version: Furthermore, in that Iron Shackle Forest Great Hell, large black birds are born, with two iron beaks. They perch on the foreheads of beings, gouging out their eyes to swallow, pecking open their skulls, and taking out their brains to eat. Those beings are thus tormented for countless hundreds of thousands of years, enduring extreme suffering, never able to die, until their evil and unwholesome karma is exhausted. After a very long time, those beings emerge from the Iron Shackle Forest Great Hell, and next they are born into the Iron Sword Tree Forest Great Hell. Those great sword trees are one yojana high, with thorns that are one foot and six inches long, causing those beings to climb up and down. When they climb up the tree, the thorns point downwards; when they climb down the tree, the thorns point upwards. The thorns of the sword trees pierce and penetrate the beings, piercing their hands, feet, or both hands and feet, piercing their ears, noses, or both ears and noses, as well as other limbs and joints, covering their bodies in blood. They suffer in this way for countless hundreds of thousands of years, enduring extreme suffering, never able to die, until their evil and unwholesome karma is exhausted. Again, after a very long time, those beings emerge from the Iron Sword Tree Forest Great Hell, and next they are born into the Ash River. The banks of the Ash River are extremely high, covered with thorns all around, and filled with boiling ash broth, which is extremely dark. When those beings see it, they think it is cold water, imagining that there is cold water there. Having this thought, they think: 『Let us go there, bathe in it, drink our fill, and find some coolness and pleasure.』 Those beings rush towards it, entering it, seeking a place of happiness, seeking a place of refuge. When they have gathered in countless hundreds of thousands, they all fall into the Ash River. Having fallen into the Ash River, they are carried downstream, upstream, or both downstream and upstream. As those beings are carried downstream, upstream, or both downstream and upstream, their skin is cooked and falls off, their flesh is cooked and falls off, or both their skin and flesh are cooked and fall off at the same time, leaving only their bones. On the banks of the Ash River, there are hell guards, holding swords, large clubs, and iron forks. When those beings try to climb ashore, the guards push them back into the river.
「複次,灰河兩岸有地獄卒,手捉鉤罥,鉤挽眾生從灰河出,著熱鐵地,洞燃俱熾,舉彼眾生極撲著地,在地旋轉,而問之曰:『汝從何來?』彼眾生等僉共答曰:『我等不知所從來處,但我等今唯患大饑。』彼地獄卒便捉眾生著熱鐵床,洞然俱熾,強令坐上,以熱鐵鉗鉗開其口,以熱鐵丸洞然俱熾,著其口中。彼熱鐵丸燒唇,燒唇已燒舌,燒舌已燒龂,燒龂已燒咽,燒咽已燒心,燒心已燒大腸,燒大腸已燒小腸,燒小腸已燒𦝩,燒𦝩已從身下過。彼如是逼迫無量百千歲,受極重苦,終不得死,要令彼惡不善業盡。
「複次,彼地獄卒問眾生曰:『汝欲何去?』眾生答曰:『我等不知欲何所去?但患大渴。』彼地獄卒便捉眾生著熱鐵床,洞然俱熾,強令坐上,以熱鐵鉗鉗開其口,以沸洋銅灌其口中,彼沸洋銅燒唇,燒唇已燒舌,燒舌已燒龂,燒龂已燒咽,燒咽已燒心,燒心已燒大腸,燒大腸已燒小腸,燒小腸已燒𦝩,燒𦝩已從身下過。彼如是逼迫無量百千歲,受極重苦,終不得死,要令彼惡不善業盡。
「若彼眾生地獄惡不善業不悉盡、不一切盡、盡無餘者,彼眾生等復墮灰河中,覆上下鐵劍樹林大地獄,復入鐵鍱林大地獄,復墮糞屎大地獄,復往來峯巖大地獄,復入四門大地獄中
『再說,灰河兩岸有地獄的獄卒,手裡拿著鉤子和網,用鉤子把眾生從灰河裡拉出來,放到熾熱的鐵地上,那裡火焰熊熊燃燒。獄卒把那些眾生猛地摔在地上,讓他們在地上旋轉,然後問他們:『你們從哪裡來?』那些眾生都一起回答說:『我們不知道從哪裡來,但我們現在只感到非常飢餓。』獄卒便把眾生抓到熾熱的鐵床上,那裡火焰熊熊燃燒,強迫他們坐在上面,用熱鐵鉗子撬開他們的嘴,把熾熱的鐵丸塞進他們的嘴裡。那鐵丸燒焦了嘴唇,燒完嘴唇燒舌頭,燒完舌頭燒牙齦,燒完牙齦燒咽喉,燒完咽喉燒心臟,燒完心臟燒大腸,燒完大腸燒小腸,燒完小腸燒肛門,燒完肛門從身體下面穿過。他們就這樣被折磨無數百千年,遭受極大的痛苦,卻不能死去,一定要等到他們作惡的業報完全消盡。 『再說,那些獄卒問眾生說:『你們想去哪裡?』眾生回答說:『我們不知道想去哪裡,只感到非常口渴。』獄卒便把眾生抓到熾熱的鐵床上,那裡火焰熊熊燃燒,強迫他們坐在上面,用熱鐵鉗子撬開他們的嘴,把沸騰的銅汁灌進他們的嘴裡。那沸騰的銅汁燒焦了嘴唇,燒完嘴唇燒舌頭,燒完舌頭燒牙齦,燒完牙齦燒咽喉,燒完咽喉燒心臟,燒完心臟燒大腸,燒完大腸燒小腸,燒完小腸燒肛門,燒完肛門從身體下面穿過。他們就這樣被折磨無數百千年,遭受極大的痛苦,卻不能死去,一定要等到他們作惡的業報完全消盡。 『如果那些眾生在地獄裡所作的惡業沒有完全消盡,沒有徹底消盡,沒有絲毫剩餘,那些眾生就會再次墮入灰河中,再次進入上下都是鐵劍樹林的大地獄,再次進入鐵片林的大地獄,再次墮入糞便污穢的大地獄,再次往來於峯巖的大地獄,再次進入四門的大地獄中。
'Furthermore, on both sides of the Ash River, there are hell guards who hold hooks and nets. They use the hooks to pull beings out of the Ash River and place them on the scorching iron ground, where flames blaze fiercely. The guards violently throw these beings onto the ground, making them spin, and then ask them: 'Where did you come from?' Those beings all reply together: 'We do not know where we came from, but we are now only suffering from great hunger.' The guards then seize the beings and place them on a scorching iron bed, where flames blaze fiercely, forcing them to sit on it. They use hot iron tongs to pry open their mouths and shove scorching hot iron balls into their mouths. The iron balls burn the lips, then the tongue, then the gums, then the throat, then the heart, then the large intestine, then the small intestine, then the anus, and then pass out from under the body. They are tormented in this way for countless hundreds and thousands of years, enduring extreme suffering, yet they cannot die, until their evil and unwholesome karma is completely exhausted. 'Furthermore, those guards ask the beings: 'Where do you wish to go?' The beings reply: 'We do not know where we wish to go, but we are suffering from great thirst.' The guards then seize the beings and place them on a scorching iron bed, where flames blaze fiercely, forcing them to sit on it. They use hot iron tongs to pry open their mouths and pour boiling molten copper into their mouths. The boiling molten copper burns the lips, then the tongue, then the gums, then the throat, then the heart, then the large intestine, then the small intestine, then the anus, and then passes out from under the body. They are tormented in this way for countless hundreds and thousands of years, enduring extreme suffering, yet they cannot die, until their evil and unwholesome karma is completely exhausted. 'If the evil and unwholesome karma of those beings in hell is not completely exhausted, not thoroughly exhausted, with nothing remaining, those beings will fall back into the Ash River, and again enter the great hell of the iron sword tree forest, where the trees are made of swords pointing up and down, again enter the great hell of the iron plate forest, again fall into the great hell of excrement and filth, again travel to and from the great hell of rocky peaks, and again enter the great hell of the four gates.'
。若彼眾生地獄惡不善業悉盡、一切盡、盡無餘者,彼于其後或入畜生,或墮餓鬼,或生天中。若彼眾生本為人時,不孝父母,不知尊敬沙門、梵志,不行如實,不作福業,不畏後世罪,彼受如是不愛、不念、不喜苦報,譬猶若彼地獄之中。若彼眾生本為人時,孝順父母,知尊敬沙門、梵志,行如實事,作福德業,畏後世罪,彼受如是可愛、可念、可喜樂報,猶虛空神宮殿之中。
「昔者閻王在園觀中而作是愿:『我此命終,生於人中。若有族姓極大富樂,資財無量,畜牧產業不可稱計,封戶食邑種種具足。彼為云何?謂剎利大長者族、梵志大長者族、居士大長者族。若更有如是族極大富樂,資財無量,畜牧產業不可稱計,封戶食邑種種具足,生如是家。生已覺根成就,如來所說正法之律,愿得凈信,得凈信已,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道,族姓子所為剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,唯無上梵行訖,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。』
「昔者閻王在園觀中而作是愿,於是頌曰:
「『為天使所訶, 人故放逸者, 長夜則憂戚, 謂弊欲所覆
現代漢語譯本:如果那些眾生地獄的惡不善業全部結束、完全結束、沒有絲毫剩餘,那麼他們之後可能會進入畜生道,或者墮入餓鬼道,或者升到天界。如果那些眾生原本是人,不孝順父母,不知道尊敬僧侶和婆羅門,不按實際情況行事,不做善事,不畏懼來世的罪過,他們就會遭受這樣不喜愛、不思念、不快樂的痛苦報應,就像在地獄中一樣。如果那些眾生原本是人,孝順父母,知道尊敬僧侶和婆羅門,按照實際情況行事,做善事,畏懼來世的罪過,他們就會遭受這樣可愛、可思念、可快樂的福報,就像在虛空中的神宮殿里一樣。 過去,閻王在園林中發願說:『我此生結束后,要轉生到人間。如果能出生在極其富裕的家族,擁有無量的財富,畜牧產業多得無法計算,封地和食邑各種條件都具備。那會是怎樣的家族呢?就是剎帝利大長者家族、婆羅門大長者家族、居士大長者家族。如果還有像這樣極其富裕的家族,擁有無量的財富,畜牧產業多得無法計算,封地和食邑各種條件都具備,就出生在這樣的家族。出生后,如果能具備健全的根器,對於如來所說的正法和戒律,希望能獲得清凈的信仰,獲得清凈的信仰后,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信念捨棄家庭,出家修行,像那些族姓子弟一樣剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信念捨棄家庭,出家修行,最終完成無上的梵行,在現世中自己知道、自己覺悟,自己作證成就而遊歷,生死已盡,梵行已建立,該做的已完成,不再受輪迴,如實知曉真理。』 過去,閻王在園林中發願,於是說了這首偈頌: 『被天使呵斥,因為放縱的人,長夜將憂愁悲慼,因為被邪惡的慾望所矇蔽。』
English version: If those beings' evil and unwholesome karmas of hell are all exhausted, completely exhausted, with nothing remaining, then afterwards they might enter the animal realm, or fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, or be born in the heavens. If those beings were originally humans, not filial to their parents, not knowing to respect monks and Brahmins, not acting according to reality, not doing good deeds, not fearing the sins of the afterlife, they will suffer such unloved, unremembered, and unhappy painful retributions, just like in hell. If those beings were originally humans, filial to their parents, knowing to respect monks and Brahmins, acting according to reality, doing good deeds, fearing the sins of the afterlife, they will receive such lovely, memorable, and joyful rewards, like in the divine palaces in the void. In the past, King Yama made a vow in a garden, saying: 'When my life ends, I wish to be reborn as a human. If I could be born into an extremely wealthy family, possessing immeasurable wealth, with livestock and industries beyond calculation, and with various provisions of fiefdoms and stipends. What kind of family would that be? It would be a Kshatriya great elder family, a Brahmin great elder family, or a householder great elder family. If there is another family that is extremely wealthy, possessing immeasurable wealth, with livestock and industries beyond calculation, and with various provisions of fiefdoms and stipends, then I wish to be born into such a family. After being born, if I could have complete faculties, and for the Dharma and precepts spoken by the Tathagata, I wish to obtain pure faith. Having obtained pure faith, I would shave my head and beard, wear the kasaya robe, with firm faith renounce my home, leave home, and practice the Way, like those sons of noble families who shave their heads and beards, wear the kasaya robe, with firm faith renounce their homes, leave home, and practice the Way, ultimately completing the unsurpassed Brahma-faring, in the present life knowing for oneself, awakening for oneself, self-realizing and achieving, having completed the journey, birth is exhausted, Brahma-faring is established, what needs to be done is done, no longer subject to rebirth, knowing the truth as it is.' In the past, King Yama made a vow in a garden, and then spoke this verse: 'Those who are rebuked by the angels, because they are indulgent, will be sorrowful and grieved for a long night, because they are covered by evil desires.'
為天使所訶, 真實有上人, 終不復放逸, 善說妙聖法。 見受使恐怖, 求愿生老盡, 無受滅無餘, 便為生老訖。 彼到安隱樂, 現法得滅度, 度一切恐怖, 亦度世間灑。』」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「昔轉輪王欲試珠寶時,便集四種軍,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,集四種軍已,于夜闇中豎立高幢,安珠置上,出至園觀,珠之光耀,照四種軍,明之所及,方半由延。彼時,有一梵志而作是念:『我寧可往見轉輪王及四種軍,觀琉璃珠
被天使呵責的人,是真正有修行的人, 他們最終不會再放縱自己,而是善於宣說微妙神聖的佛法。 他們看到感受帶來的恐懼,渴望生老病死都終結, 當感受完全滅盡,不再有任何殘留,他們就結束了生老病死。 他們到達安穩快樂的境地,在今生就證得涅槃, 超越一切恐懼,也超越世間的污穢。 《天使經》第七結束(四千二百五字) 《中阿含經》卷第十二(九千九百三十九字) 《中阿含經》王應品第六結束(一萬七千九百三十五字)(初一日誦完) 《中阿含經》卷第十三 《中阿含經》王相應品第一(有七經,第二日誦,名為小土城,有四品半,共五十二經) 烏鳥喻、說本,天㮈林、善見, 三十喻、轉輪,蜱肆最後。 (六五)《中阿含經》王相應品《烏鳥喻經》第一 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去轉輪王想要測試珠寶時,就聚集了四種軍隊,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,聚集四種軍隊后,在夜晚黑暗中豎立高大的旗幟,把珠寶放在上面,然後到園林中觀看,珠寶的光芒照耀著四種軍隊,光芒所及之處,有半由延的範圍。當時,有一位婆羅門這樣想:『我應該去見轉輪王和四種軍隊,觀看琉璃寶珠。』
Those who are rebuked by angels are truly superior individuals, They ultimately do not indulge in laxity, but skillfully expound the subtle and sacred Dharma. They see the fear that arises from sensations, and they yearn for the end of birth, old age, sickness, and death. When sensations are completely extinguished, with nothing remaining, they have ended birth, old age, sickness, and death. They reach a state of secure happiness, attaining Nirvana in this very life, Transcending all fear, and also transcending the defilements of the world. The seventh 'Angel Discourse' concludes (4,205 characters). The twelfth fascicle of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' (9,939 characters). The sixth chapter of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' on 'Royal Correspondence' concludes (17,935 characters) (recited on the first day). The thirteenth fascicle of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra'. The first chapter of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' on 'Royal Correspondence' (containing seven sutras, recited on the second day, called 'Small Earth City', with four and a half sections, totaling fifty-two sutras). 'Crow Simile', 'Origin Story', 'Heavenly Forest', 'Good Vision', 'Thirty Similes', 'Wheel-Turning King', 'Tick's Place' is last. (65) The first sutra of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' on 'Royal Correspondence', the 'Crow Simile Sutra'. At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Rajagriha, at the Bamboo Grove, Kalandaka's Garden. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks: 'In the past, when a Wheel-Turning King wished to test his jewel, he gathered four kinds of troops: elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry troops. Having gathered the four kinds of troops, in the darkness of night, he erected a tall banner, placed the jewel on top, and then went to the garden to observe. The jewel's radiance illuminated the four kinds of troops, and the extent of its light reached half a yojana. At that time, a Brahmin thought: 'I should go and see the Wheel-Turning King and the four kinds of troops, and observe the crystal jewel.'
。』爾時,梵志復作是念:『且置見轉輪王及四種軍、觀琉璃珠,我寧可往至彼林間。』
「於是,梵志便往詣林,到已入中,至一樹下,坐已未久,有一獺獸來,梵志見已而問之曰:『善來,獺獸!汝從何來,為欲何去?』答曰:『梵志!此池本時清泉盈溢,饒藕多華,魚龜滿中,我昔所依,而今枯熇。梵志當知!我欲捨去,入彼大河,我今欲去,唯畏於人。』時,彼獺獸與此梵志共論是已,便舍而去,梵志故坐。
「復有究暮鳥來,梵志見已而問之曰:『善來,究暮鳥!汝從何來,為欲何去?』答曰:『梵志!此池本時清泉盈溢,饒藕多華,魚龜滿中,我昔所依,而今枯熇。梵志當知!我欲捨去,依彼死牛聚處棲宿,或依死驢,或依死人聚處棲宿,我今欲去,唯畏於人。』彼究暮鳥與此梵志共論是已,便舍而去,梵志故坐。
「復有鷲鳥來,梵志見已而問之曰:『善來,鷲鳥!汝從何來,為欲何去?』答曰:『梵志!我從大墓復至大墓殺害而來,我今欲食死象之肉,死馬、死牛、死人之肉,我今欲去,唯畏於人。』時,彼鷲鳥與此梵志共論是已,便舍而去,梵志故坐
現代漢語譯本:當時,那位婆羅門又這樣想:『先放下觀看轉輪王和他的四種軍隊、以及琉璃寶珠的事情,我寧可前往那片樹林中。』 於是,婆羅門便前往那片樹林,到達後進入其中,來到一棵樹下,坐下沒多久,有一隻水獺來了,婆羅門看見后問它說:『歡迎你,水獺!你從哪裡來,想要去哪裡?』水獺回答說:『婆羅門!這個池塘原本清泉滿溢,盛產蓮藕和花朵,魚和烏龜也很多,是我以前棲息的地方,而現在卻乾涸了。婆羅門你應該知道!我想要離開這裡,進入那條大河,我現在想要離開,只是害怕人類。』當時,那隻水獺和這位婆羅門談論完這些,就離開了,婆羅門仍然坐在那裡。 又有一隻鴟鸮來了,婆羅門看見后問它說:『歡迎你,鴟鸮!你從哪裡來,想要去哪裡?』鴟鸮回答說:『婆羅門!這個池塘原本清泉滿溢,盛產蓮藕和花朵,魚和烏龜也很多,是我以前棲息的地方,而現在卻乾涸了。婆羅門你應該知道!我想要離開這裡,去依靠那些死牛堆積的地方棲息,或者依靠死驢,或者依靠死人堆積的地方棲息,我現在想要離開,只是害怕人類。』那隻鴟鸮和這位婆羅門談論完這些,就離開了,婆羅門仍然坐在那裡。 又有一隻鷲鳥來了,婆羅門看見后問它說:『歡迎你,鷲鳥!你從哪裡來,想要去哪裡?』鷲鳥回答說:『婆羅門!我從大墓地到另一個大墓地殺害而來,我現在想要吃死象的肉,死馬、死牛、死人的肉,我現在想要離開,只是害怕人類。』當時,那隻鷲鳥和這位婆羅門談論完這些,就離開了,婆羅門仍然坐在那裡。
English version: At that time, the Brahmin thought again: 『Let me set aside the matter of seeing the Wheel-Turning King and his four kinds of troops, and observing the crystal beads. I would rather go to that forest.』 So, the Brahmin went to the forest, and having arrived, entered it. He came to a tree, and having sat down not long after, an otter came. The Brahmin, seeing it, asked: 『Welcome, otter! Where do you come from, and where do you want to go?』 The otter replied: 『Brahmin! This pond was once full of clear springs, abundant with lotus roots and flowers, and full of fish and turtles. It was my former dwelling place, but now it is dried up. Brahmin, you should know! I want to leave here and enter that great river. I want to leave now, but I am afraid of humans.』 Then, the otter and the Brahmin finished their conversation, and the otter left, while the Brahmin remained seated. Then, an owl came. The Brahmin, seeing it, asked: 『Welcome, owl! Where do you come from, and where do you want to go?』 The owl replied: 『Brahmin! This pond was once full of clear springs, abundant with lotus roots and flowers, and full of fish and turtles. It was my former dwelling place, but now it is dried up. Brahmin, you should know! I want to leave here and rely on the places where dead cows are piled up to dwell, or rely on dead donkeys, or rely on the places where dead people are piled up. I want to leave now, but I am afraid of humans.』 Then, the owl and the Brahmin finished their conversation, and the owl left, while the Brahmin remained seated. Then, a vulture came. The Brahmin, seeing it, asked: 『Welcome, vulture! Where do you come from, and where do you want to go?』 The vulture replied: 『Brahmin! I have come from one great cemetery to another, killing. Now I want to eat the flesh of dead elephants, dead horses, dead cows, and dead people. I want to leave now, but I am afraid of humans.』 Then, the vulture and the Brahmin finished their conversation, and the vulture left, while the Brahmin remained seated.
「復有食吐鳥來,梵志見已而問之曰:『善來,食吐鳥!汝從何來,為欲何去?』答曰:『梵志!汝見曏者鷲鳥去耶?我食彼吐,我今欲去,唯畏於人。』彼食吐鳥與此梵志共論是已,便舍而去,梵志故坐。
「復有豺獸來,梵志見已而問之曰:『善來,豺獸!汝從何來,為欲何去?』答曰:『梵志!我從深澗至深澗,從榛莽至榛莽,從僻靜至僻靜處來,我今欲食死象肉,死馬、死牛、死人之肉,我今欲去,唯畏於人。』時,彼豺獸與此梵志共論是已,便舍而去,梵志故坐。
「復有烏鳥來,梵志見已而問之曰:『善來,烏鳥!汝從何來,為欲何去?』答曰:『梵志!汝強額癡狂,何為問我:「汝從何來,為欲何去?」』彼時,烏鳥面訶梵志已,便舍而去,梵志故坐。
「復有狌狌獸來,梵志見已而問之曰:『善來,狌狌獸!汝從何來,為欲何去?』答曰:『梵志!我從園至園,從觀至觀,從林至林,飲清泉水,食好果來,我今欲去,不畏於人。』彼狌狌獸與此梵志共論是已,便舍而去。」
佛告諸比丘:「吾說此喻,欲令解義,汝等當知此說有義。時,彼獺獸與此梵志共論是已,便舍而去
『又有一隻食吐鳥飛來,梵志看見后就問它說:『歡迎你,食吐鳥!你從哪裡來,要到哪裡去?』食吐鳥回答說:『梵志!你看見剛才那隻鷲鳥飛走了嗎?我吃它吐出來的東西,我現在要離開這裡,只是害怕人類。』那隻食吐鳥和梵志談論完這些,就離開了,梵志仍然坐在那裡。 『又有一隻豺狼來了,梵志看見后就問它說:『歡迎你,豺狼!你從哪裡來,要到哪裡去?』豺狼回答說:『梵志!我從深谷到深谷,從草叢到草叢,從僻靜的地方到僻靜的地方而來,我現在想吃死象肉、死馬、死牛、死人的肉,我現在要離開這裡,只是害怕人類。』當時,那隻豺狼和梵志談論完這些,就離開了,梵志仍然坐在那裡。 『又有一隻烏鴉飛來,梵志看見后就問它說:『歡迎你,烏鴉!你從哪裡來,要到哪裡去?』烏鴉回答說:『梵志!你真是個愚蠢的瘋子,為什麼問我:「你從哪裡來,要到哪裡去?」』當時,那隻烏鴉當面斥責了梵志,就離開了,梵志仍然坐在那裡。 『又有一隻猩猩來了,梵志看見后就問它說:『歡迎你,猩猩!你從哪裡來,要到哪裡去?』猩猩回答說:『梵志!我從一個園子到另一個園子,從一個觀賞地到另一個觀賞地,從一片樹林到另一片樹林,喝著清澈的泉水,吃著美味的水果而來,我現在要離開這裡,不怕人類。』那隻猩猩和梵志談論完這些,就離開了。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『我說這個比喻,是想讓你們理解其中的含義,你們應當知道這個說法是有道理的。當時,那隻水獺和梵志談論完這些,就離開了。』
'Then a vomit-eating bird came, and the Brahmin, seeing it, asked: 'Welcome, vomit-eating bird! Where do you come from, and where do you intend to go?' It replied: 'Brahmin! Did you see that vulture that just left? I eat what it vomits. I am leaving now, for I fear humans.' After this vomit-eating bird had discussed this with the Brahmin, it departed, and the Brahmin remained seated. 'Then a jackal came, and the Brahmin, seeing it, asked: 'Welcome, jackal! Where do you come from, and where do you intend to go?' It replied: 'Brahmin! I come from deep ravine to deep ravine, from thicket to thicket, from secluded place to secluded place. I now wish to eat the flesh of dead elephants, dead horses, dead cows, and dead humans. I am leaving now, for I fear humans.' After this jackal had discussed this with the Brahmin, it departed, and the Brahmin remained seated. 'Then a crow came, and the Brahmin, seeing it, asked: 'Welcome, crow! Where do you come from, and where do you intend to go?' It replied: 'Brahmin! You are a stubborn fool, why do you ask me: 「Where do you come from, and where do you intend to go?」' At that time, the crow rebuked the Brahmin to his face, then departed, and the Brahmin remained seated. 'Then an orangutan came, and the Brahmin, seeing it, asked: 'Welcome, orangutan! Where do you come from, and where do you intend to go?' It replied: 'Brahmin! I come from garden to garden, from scenic spot to scenic spot, from forest to forest, drinking clear spring water and eating delicious fruits. I am leaving now, and I do not fear humans.' After this orangutan had discussed this with the Brahmin, it departed.' The Buddha told the monks: 'I tell this parable so that you may understand its meaning. You should know that this saying has a point. At that time, the otter had discussed this with the Brahmin, and then it departed.'
。吾說此喻有何義耶?若有比丘依村邑行,比丘平旦著衣持缽,入村乞食,不護于身,不守諸根,不立正念,而彼說法,或佛所說,或聲聞所說,因此得利衣被、飲食、床褥、湯藥、諸生活具,彼得利已,染著觸猗,不見災患,不能捨離,隨意而用。彼比丘行惡戒,成就惡法,最在其邊,生弊腐敗,非梵行稱梵行,非沙門稱沙門,猶如梵志見獺獸已,而問之曰:『善來,獺獸!汝從何來,為欲何去?』答曰:『梵志!此池本時清泉盈溢,饒藕多華,魚龜滿中,我昔所依,而今枯熇。梵志當知!我欲捨去,入彼大河,我今欲去,唯畏於人。』吾說比丘亦復如是,入惡不善穢污法中,為當來有本煩熱苦報、生老病死因,是以比丘莫行如獺,莫依非法以自存命;當凈身行,凈口、意行,住無事中,著糞掃衣,常行乞食,次第乞食,少欲知足,樂住遠離而習精勤,立正念、正智、正定、正慧,常當遠離,應學如是。
「彼究暮鳥與此梵志共論是已,便舍而去。吾說此喻有何義耶?若有比丘依村邑行,比丘平旦著衣持缽,入村乞食,不護于身,不守諸根,不立正念,彼入他家教化說法,或佛所說,或聲聞所說,因此得利衣被、飲食、床褥、湯藥、諸生活具,彼得利已,染著觸猗,不見災患,不能捨離,隨意而用
現代漢語譯本:我講這個比喻有什麼意義呢?如果有比丘依靠村莊生活,比丘早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入村莊乞食,不保護自己的身體,不守護自己的感官,不保持正念。而他卻在那裡說法,或者說佛所說的法,或者說聲聞所說的法,因此得到衣物、飲食、床鋪、藥物等生活用品。他得到這些利益后,就貪戀執著,看不到其中的災禍,不能捨棄,隨意使用。這個比丘行為惡劣,成就惡法,最終墮落,變得腐敗,不是真正的修行人卻自稱修行人,不是真正的沙門卻自稱沙門。就像婆羅門看到水獺后,問它說:『你好,水獺!你從哪裡來,要到哪裡去?』水獺回答說:『婆羅門!這個池塘原本清泉滿溢,長滿蓮藕和鮮花,魚和烏龜也很多,是我以前居住的地方,但現在已經乾涸了。婆羅門,你要知道!我打算離開這裡,進入那條大河,我現在要走了,只是害怕人。』我說的比丘也是這樣,進入邪惡不善的污穢法中,為將來帶來煩惱、熱惱、痛苦的果報,以及生老病死的因。因此,比丘不要像水獺一樣,不要依靠非法來維持生命;應當清凈身行,清凈口行,清凈意行,住在無事之中,穿著糞掃衣,經常乞食,依次乞食,少欲知足,喜歡住在遠離的地方,勤奮修行,保持正念、正智、正定、正慧,經常應當遠離,應當這樣學習。 那隻鴟鸮和這個婆羅門討論完后,就離開了。我講這個比喻有什麼意義呢?如果有比丘依靠村莊生活,比丘早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入村莊乞食,不保護自己的身體,不守護自己的感官,不保持正念。他進入別人家教化說法,或者說佛所說的法,或者說聲聞所說的法,因此得到衣物、飲食、床鋪、藥物等生活用品。他得到這些利益后,就貪戀執著,看不到其中的災禍,不能捨棄,隨意使用。
English version: What is the meaning of this parable I am telling? If there is a bhikkhu who lives relying on a village, the bhikkhu, in the early morning, puts on his robes, takes his bowl, and enters the village to beg for alms, not protecting his body, not guarding his senses, not establishing mindfulness. And yet, he teaches the Dharma there, either what the Buddha taught, or what the disciples taught, and because of this, he obtains benefits such as clothing, food, bedding, medicine, and other necessities of life. Having obtained these benefits, he becomes attached and clings to them, not seeing the dangers, unable to let go, and using them as he pleases. This bhikkhu practices evil precepts, accomplishes evil deeds, falls to the lowest level, becomes corrupt, not a true practitioner yet calls himself a practitioner, not a true samana yet calls himself a samana. It is like a Brahmin who, having seen an otter, asks it: 『Welcome, otter! Where do you come from, and where do you intend to go?』 The otter replies: 『Brahmin! This pond was once full of clear springs, abundant with lotus roots and flowers, and full of fish and turtles, where I used to live, but now it is dried up. Brahmin, you should know! I intend to leave this place and enter that great river. I am about to leave, but I am afraid of people.』 The bhikkhu I am talking about is also like this, entering into evil and unwholesome defiled practices, bringing about future suffering, heat, and pain, as well as the causes of birth, old age, sickness, and death. Therefore, bhikkhus should not be like the otter, and should not rely on unlawful means to sustain their lives; they should purify their bodily actions, purify their verbal actions, purify their mental actions, dwell in a state of non-activity, wear discarded rags, regularly beg for alms, beg for alms in order, be content with little, enjoy dwelling in seclusion, and practice diligently, establishing right mindfulness, right knowledge, right concentration, and right wisdom. They should always stay away from such things and should learn in this way. After the owl and the Brahmin had this discussion, the owl left. What is the meaning of this parable I am telling? If there is a bhikkhu who lives relying on a village, the bhikkhu, in the early morning, puts on his robes, takes his bowl, and enters the village to beg for alms, not protecting his body, not guarding his senses, not establishing mindfulness. He enters other people's homes to teach and preach the Dharma, either what the Buddha taught, or what the disciples taught, and because of this, he obtains benefits such as clothing, food, bedding, medicine, and other necessities of life. Having obtained these benefits, he becomes attached and clings to them, not seeing the dangers, unable to let go, and using them as he pleases.
。彼比丘惡戒,成就惡法,最在其邊,生弊腐敗,非梵行稱梵行,非沙門稱沙門,猶如梵志見究暮已,而問之曰:『善來,究暮!汝從何來,為欲何去?』答曰:『梵志!此池本時清泉盈溢,饒藕多華,魚龜滿中,我昔所依,而今枯熇。梵志當知!我今欲去,依彼死牛聚處棲宿,或依死驢,或依死人聚處棲宿,我今欲去,唯畏於人。』吾說比丘亦復如是,依惡不善穢污之法,為當來有本煩熱苦報、生老病死因,是以比丘莫行如究暮,莫依非法以自存命;當凈身行,凈口、意行,住無事中,著糞掃衣,常行乞食,次第乞食,少欲知足,樂住遠離而習精勤,立正念、正智、正定、正慧,常當遠離,應學如是。
「時,彼鷲鳥與此梵志共論是已,便舍而去。吾說此喻有何義耶?若有比丘依村邑行,比丘平旦著衣持缽,入村乞食,不護于身,不守諸根,不立正念,彼入他家教化說法,或佛所說,或聲聞所說,因此得利衣被、飲食、床褥、湯藥、諸生活具,彼得利已,染著觸猗,不見災患,不能捨離,隨意而用
現代漢語譯本:那個比丘行為惡劣,積累惡行,最終墮落,產生腐敗,不是清凈修行卻自稱清凈修行,不是沙門卻自稱沙門,就像一個婆羅門看到一隻禿鷲后,問它:『你好,禿鷲!你從哪裡來,要到哪裡去?』禿鷲回答說:『婆羅門!這個池塘原本清澈見底,充滿泉水,長滿蓮藕和鮮花,魚和烏龜眾多,是我以前棲息的地方,但現在已經乾涸了。婆羅門,你要知道!我現在要離開這裡,去棲息在死牛堆旁,或者死驢旁,或者死人堆旁,我只是害怕人類。』我說比丘也是這樣,依靠邪惡不善的污穢之法,為未來帶來煩惱、熱惱的痛苦報應,以及生老病死的因。因此,比丘不要像禿鷲一樣,不要依靠非法來維持生命;應當清凈身行,清凈口行,清凈意行,安住于無事之中,穿著糞掃衣,經常乞食,依次乞食,少欲知足,喜歡住在遠離喧囂的地方並勤奮修行,建立正念、正知、正定、正慧,經常應當遠離,應當這樣學習。 當時,那隻禿鷲和這個婆羅門討論完后,就離開了。我說這個比喻有什麼意義呢?如果有比丘依靠村莊生活,比丘早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入村莊乞食,不保護自己的身體,不守護自己的感官,不建立正念,他進入別人家教化說法,或者說佛所說的,或者說聲聞所說的,因此得到利益,如衣服、飲食、床鋪、湯藥、各種生活用品,他得到利益后,就貪戀執著,看不到災禍,不能捨棄,隨意使用。
English version: That bhikkhu is of bad conduct, accumulates evil deeds, ultimately falls, generates corruption, is not a pure practitioner yet claims to be a pure practitioner, is not a shramana yet claims to be a shramana, just like a Brahmin who, upon seeing a vulture, asks it: 『Greetings, vulture! Where do you come from, and where are you going?』 The vulture replies: 『Brahmin! This pond was originally clear and full of spring water, abundant with lotus roots and flowers, and teeming with fish and turtles. It was my former dwelling place, but now it is dried up. Brahmin, you should know! I am now leaving this place to dwell near a pile of dead cows, or near a dead donkey, or near a pile of dead people. I am only afraid of humans.』 I say that bhikkhus are also like this, relying on evil and unwholesome defiled practices, bringing about future afflictions, the painful consequences of heat, and the causes of birth, old age, sickness, and death. Therefore, bhikkhus should not be like the vulture, and should not rely on unlawful means to sustain their lives; they should purify their bodily conduct, purify their verbal conduct, purify their mental conduct, abide in a state of non-activity, wear rag robes, frequently beg for alms, beg for alms in order, be content with little, enjoy living in secluded places and diligently practice, establish right mindfulness, right knowledge, right concentration, and right wisdom, and should always stay away from, and should learn in this way. Then, that vulture, after discussing with this Brahmin, departed. What is the meaning of this simile that I have spoken? If there is a bhikkhu who relies on villages for his livelihood, the bhikkhu, in the morning, puts on his robes, takes his bowl, and enters the village to beg for alms, not protecting his body, not guarding his senses, not establishing right mindfulness, he enters other people's homes to teach and preach, either what the Buddha has said, or what the disciples have said, and thus obtains benefits such as clothing, food, bedding, medicine, and various necessities of life. After obtaining these benefits, he becomes attached and clinging, unable to see the dangers, unable to let go, and uses them as he pleases.
。彼比丘行惡戒,成就惡法,最在其邊,生弊腐敗,非梵行稱梵行,非沙門稱沙門,猶如梵志見鷲鳥已,而問之曰:『善來,鷲鳥!汝從何來,為欲何去?』答曰:『梵志!我從大墓復至大墓殺害而來,我今欲食死象之肉,死馬、死牛、死人之肉,我今欲去,唯畏於人。』吾說比丘亦復如是,是以比丘莫行如鷲鳥,莫依非法以自存命;當凈身行,凈口、意行,住無事中,著糞掃衣,常行乞食,次第乞食,少欲知足,樂住遠離而習精勤,立正念、正智、正定、正慧,常當遠離,應學如是。
「彼食吐鳥與此梵志共論是已,便舍而去。吾說此喻有何義耶?若有比丘依村邑行,比丘平旦著衣持缽,入村乞食,不護于身,不守諸根,不立正念,彼入比丘尼房教化說法,或佛所說,或聲聞所說,彼比丘尼入若干家說好說惡,受信施物持與比丘,因此得利衣被、飲食、床褥、湯藥、諸生活具,彼得利已,染著觸猗,不見災患,不能捨離,隨意而用。彼比丘行惡戒,成就惡法,最在其邊,生弊腐敗,非梵行稱梵行,非沙門稱沙門,猶如梵志見食吐鳥已,而問之曰:『善來,食吐鳥!汝從何來,為欲何去?』答曰:『梵志!汝見曏者鷲鳥去耶?我食彼吐,我今欲去,唯畏於人
現代漢語譯本:那個比丘行為惡劣,修習惡法,最終墮落,產生腐敗,不是清凈的修行卻自稱清凈修行,不是沙門卻自稱沙門,就像婆羅門看見鷲鳥后,問它說:『你好,鷲鳥!你從哪裡來,要到哪裡去?』鷲鳥回答說:『婆羅門!我從大墓地到大墓地殺害而來,我現在想吃死象的肉、死馬、死牛、死人的肉,我現在要離開,只是害怕人。』我說比丘也像這樣,所以比丘不要像鷲鳥一樣,不要依靠非法來維持生命;應當清凈身行,清凈口行、意行,住在無事的地方,穿著糞掃衣,經常乞食,依次乞食,少欲知足,喜歡住在遠離的地方並勤奮修行,樹立正念、正知、正定、正慧,經常應當遠離,應當這樣學習。 那個吃嘔吐物的鳥和這個婆羅門討論完后,就離開了。我說這個比喻有什麼意義呢?如果有比丘依靠村莊生活,比丘早上穿好衣服拿著缽,進入村莊乞食,不保護自己的身體,不守護自己的感官,不樹立正念,他進入比丘尼的房間教化說法,或者是佛所說的,或者是聲聞所說的,那些比丘尼進入各家說好說壞,接受施捨的物品拿給比丘,因此得到利益,衣服、飲食、床鋪、湯藥、各種生活用品,他得到利益后,就貪戀執著,看不到災禍,不能捨棄,隨意使用。那個比丘行為惡劣,修習惡法,最終墮落,產生腐敗,不是清凈的修行卻自稱清凈修行,不是沙門卻自稱沙門,就像婆羅門看見吃嘔吐物的鳥后,問它說:『你好,吃嘔吐物的鳥!你從哪裡來,要到哪裡去?』它回答說:『婆羅門!你看到剛才那隻鷲鳥走了嗎?我吃它吐出來的東西,我現在要離開,只是害怕人。』
English version: That bhikkhu, practicing evil precepts, accomplishing evil dharmas, is ultimately at the edge, generating corruption and decay. He is not a pure practitioner yet claims to be a pure practitioner, not a śramaṇa yet claims to be a śramaṇa, just like a Brahmin who, upon seeing a vulture, asks it: 『Greetings, vulture! Where do you come from, and where do you intend to go?』 The vulture replies: 『Brahmin! I come from one great charnel ground to another, having killed. Now I wish to eat the flesh of dead elephants, dead horses, dead cows, and dead people. I now wish to leave, only fearing people.』 I say that a bhikkhu is also like this, therefore a bhikkhu should not be like a vulture, should not rely on unlawful means to sustain life; one should purify bodily conduct, purify verbal conduct, and mental conduct, dwell in a place of non-activity, wear rag robes, regularly beg for alms, beg for alms in order, be content with little, enjoy dwelling in seclusion and practice diligently, establish right mindfulness, right knowledge, right concentration, and right wisdom, and should always stay away, one should learn like this. That vomit-eating bird, after discussing with this Brahmin, then left. What is the meaning of this simile that I speak of? If there is a bhikkhu who relies on villages for his livelihood, the bhikkhu, in the morning, puts on his robes and takes his bowl, enters the village to beg for alms, not protecting his body, not guarding his senses, not establishing right mindfulness, he enters the nun's quarters to teach and preach, either what the Buddha has said, or what the śrāvakas have said. Those nuns go to various homes, speaking good and bad, receiving offerings and giving them to the bhikkhu, thus gaining benefits, clothing, food, bedding, medicine, and various necessities. After gaining these benefits, he becomes attached and clinging, not seeing the dangers, unable to let go, and uses them as he pleases. That bhikkhu, practicing evil precepts, accomplishing evil dharmas, is ultimately at the edge, generating corruption and decay. He is not a pure practitioner yet claims to be a pure practitioner, not a śramaṇa yet claims to be a śramaṇa, just like a Brahmin who, upon seeing a vomit-eating bird, asks it: 『Greetings, vomit-eating bird! Where do you come from, and where do you intend to go?』 It replies: 『Brahmin! Did you see that vulture that just left? I eat what it vomited, and now I wish to leave, only fearing people.』

「時,彼豺獸與此梵志共論是已,便舍而去。吾說此喻有何義耶?若有比丘依貧村住,彼若知村邑及城郭中多有智慧精進梵行者,即便避去,若知村邑及城郭中無有智慧精進梵行者,而來住中,或九月,或十月。諸比丘見已,便問:『賢者!何處遊行?』彼即答曰:『諸賢!我依某處貧村邑行。』諸比丘聞已即作是念:『此賢者難行而行。所以者何?此賢者乃能依某貧村邑行。』諸比丘等便共恭敬禮事供養,因此得利衣被、飲食、床褥、湯藥、諸生活具,彼得利已,染著觸猗,不見災患,不能捨離,隨意而用。彼比丘行惡戒,成就惡法,最在其邊,生弊腐敗,非梵行稱梵行,非沙門稱沙門,猶如梵志見豺獸已,而問之曰:『善來,豺獸!汝從何來,為欲何去?』答曰:『梵志!我從深澗至深澗,從榛莽至榛莽,從僻靜至僻靜處來,我今欲食死象之肉,死馬、死牛、死人之肉,我今欲去,唯畏於人
現代漢語譯本:'我告訴你們,比丘也應該如此。因此,比丘不應像吃剩吐出的鳥一樣,不應依靠非法手段來維持生命;應當凈化身行,凈化口行,凈化意行,安住于無事之中,穿著糞掃衣,經常乞食,按順序乞食,少欲知足,樂於遠離喧囂而勤奮修行,樹立正念、正智、正定、正慧,經常應當遠離世俗,應當如此學習。' 『當時,那隻豺狼與這位婆羅門討論完這些后,就離開了。我講這個比喻有什麼意義呢?如果有個比丘住在貧困的村莊,他如果知道村落和城郭中有很多智慧精進的修行者,就會避開那裡;如果知道村落和城郭中沒有智慧精進的修行者,就來到這裡居住,或許九個月,或許十個月。其他比丘看到后,就會問:『賢者!你從哪裡來?』他就會回答說:『諸位賢者!我從某處貧困的村莊來。』其他比丘聽了后就會這樣想:『這位賢者真是難行能行。為什麼呢?這位賢者竟然能在某處貧困的村莊修行。』其他比丘們就會一起恭敬地禮拜、侍奉、供養他,因此他得到了衣物、飲食、床鋪、湯藥等生活用品。他得到這些利益后,就貪戀執著,看不到災禍,不能捨棄,隨意享用。這位比丘行為惡劣,成就惡法,最終墮落,變得腐敗,不是梵行卻自稱梵行,不是沙門卻自稱沙門,就像婆羅門看到豺狼后,問它說:『你好,豺狼!你從哪裡來,想要去哪裡?』豺狼回答說:『婆羅門!我從深澗到深澗,從叢林到叢林,從僻靜到僻靜的地方來,我現在想吃死象的肉、死馬、死牛、死人的肉,我現在要走了,只是害怕人。』
English version: 'I tell you, bhikkhus, it is the same for a bhikkhu. Therefore, a bhikkhu should not act like a bird that eats and vomits, nor should he rely on unlawful means to sustain his life; he should purify his bodily conduct, purify his verbal conduct, purify his mental conduct, dwell in a state of non-activity, wear robes made of discarded rags, regularly go for alms, go for alms in order, be content with little, delight in living in seclusion and practice diligently, establish right mindfulness, right knowledge, right concentration, and right wisdom, always keep away from worldly things, and should learn in this way.' 'Then, that jackal, having discussed this with the Brahmin, departed. What is the meaning of this simile I have given? If a bhikkhu dwells in a poor village, and if he knows that there are many wise and diligent practitioners of the holy life in the villages and towns, he will avoid that place; if he knows that there are no wise and diligent practitioners of the holy life in the villages and towns, he will come and dwell there, perhaps for nine months, perhaps for ten months. When the other bhikkhus see him, they will ask: 『Venerable one! Where have you come from?』 He will answer: 『Venerable ones! I have come from a certain poor village.』 When the other bhikkhus hear this, they will think: 『This venerable one is doing what is difficult to do. Why is that? This venerable one is actually practicing in a certain poor village.』 The other bhikkhus will then together respectfully bow, serve, and offer him gifts, and thus he will receive benefits such as robes, food, bedding, medicine, and other necessities. Having received these benefits, he becomes attached and clinging, does not see the dangers, cannot let go, and uses them as he pleases. This bhikkhu behaves badly, achieves evil deeds, ultimately falls, becomes corrupt, is not a practitioner of the holy life but claims to be, is not a samana but claims to be, just like the Brahmin who, having seen the jackal, asked it: 『Welcome, jackal! Where have you come from, and where do you want to go?』 The jackal replied: 『Brahmin! I have come from ravine to ravine, from thicket to thicket, from secluded place to secluded place, and now I want to eat the flesh of dead elephants, dead horses, dead cows, and dead people. I am leaving now, I am only afraid of people.』

English version: That bhikkhu, practicing evil precepts, accomplishing evil deeds, is at the very edge, generating corruption and decay, not a pure practitioner yet claiming to be a pure practitioner, not a samana yet claiming to be a samana, just like a Brahmin who, upon seeing a crow, asks it: 『Greetings, crow! Where do you come from, and where are you going?』 The crow replies: 『Brahmin! You are truly foolish and mad, why do you ask me: where do you come from, and where are you going?』 I say that a bhikkhu is also like this, therefore a bhikkhu should not be like a crow, should not rely on unlawful means to sustain life; one should purify bodily conduct, purify speech and mind conduct, dwell in a place of non-activity, wear rag robes, frequently beg for alms, beg for alms in order, be content with little, enjoy dwelling in seclusion and diligently practice, establish right mindfulness, right knowledge, right concentration, right wisdom, should always stay away, should learn in this way. English version: That ape, having discussed with this Brahmin, then departed. What is the meaning of this simile, I say? If there is a bhikkhu who relies on a village for sustenance, the bhikkhu, in the morning, puts on robes and takes his bowl, enters the village to beg for alms, is good at protecting himself, guarding and restraining his senses, dwells in right mindfulness, having finished begging for alms from the village, having eaten, at midday, puts away his robes and bowl, washes his hands and feet, places the nisidana on his shoulder, and goes either to a place of non-activity, or to the foot of a tree, or to an empty house, spreads out the nisidana, sits cross-legged, straightens his body, straightens his intention, reflects without outward seeking, cuts off greed, has no strife in his heart, seeing the possessions and living tools of others, does not generate greed, does not desire to possess them. He purifies his heart from greed. Likewise, anger, sleepiness, restlessness, cuts off doubt, has no hesitation regarding good dharmas, he purifies his heart from doubt, he has already cut off these five hindrances, his mind is defiled and his wisdom is weak, he is separated from desire, separated from evil and unwholesome dharmas, and ultimately attains the fourth jhana and dwells in it.
。彼得如是,定心清凈,無穢無煩,柔軟善住,得不動心,趣向漏盡智通作證,彼便知此苦如真,知此苦習,知此苦滅,知此苦滅道如真,知此漏,知此漏習,知此漏滅,知此漏滅道如真。彼如是知,如是見已,則欲漏心解脫,有漏、無明漏心解脫,解脫已,便知解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。猶如梵志見狌狌已,而問之曰:『善來,狌狌!汝從何來,為欲何去?』答曰:『梵志!我從園至園,從觀至觀,從林至林,飲清泉水,啖好果來,我今欲去,不畏於人。』吾說比丘亦復如是。

烏鳥喻經第一竟(三千一百七十八字)
(六六)中阿含王相應品說本經第二(第二小土城誦)
一時,佛游波羅㮈,在仙人住處鹿野園中
現代漢語譯本:彼得也是如此,心意堅定清凈,沒有污穢和煩惱,柔和安住,獲得不動搖的心,趨向于漏盡的智慧和神通的證悟。他如實地知道什麼是苦,知道苦的根源,知道苦的滅除,知道滅除苦的道路;如實地知道什麼是煩惱,知道煩惱的根源,知道煩惱的滅除,知道滅除煩惱的道路。他這樣知道,這樣看見之後,就從慾望的煩惱中解脫出來,從存在的煩惱和無明的煩惱中解脫出來。解脫之後,他就知道自己已經解脫,知道自己已經不再輪迴,已經建立了清凈的行為,已經完成了應該做的事情,不再受後有,如實地知道這一切。就像婆羅門看見猩猩后,問它說:『你好,猩猩!你從哪裡來,要到哪裡去?』猩猩回答說:『婆羅門!我從一個園子到另一個園子,從一個觀賞地到另一個觀賞地,從一片樹林到另一片樹林,喝著清澈的泉水,吃著美味的果子而來,我現在要離開,不怕任何人。』我所說的比丘也是如此。 因此,比丘不要像水獺一樣行事,不要像貓頭鷹一樣行事,不要像老鷹一樣行事,不要像吐食鳥一樣行事,不要像豺狼一樣行事,不要像烏鴉一樣行事,應當像猩猩一樣行事。為什麼呢?因為世間沒有執著的真人就像猩猩一樣。 《烏鳥喻經》第一部分結束(三千一百七十八字) (六六)《中阿含王相應品》說本經第二(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在波羅奈的仙人居住地鹿野園中游化。
English version: Peter is also like this, with a steadfast and pure mind, free from defilement and vexation, gentle and well-established, attaining an unshakeable mind, and moving towards the realization of the wisdom and supernormal powers of the exhaustion of outflows. He truly knows what suffering is, knows the origin of suffering, knows the cessation of suffering, and knows the path to the cessation of suffering; he truly knows what outflows are, knows the origin of outflows, knows the cessation of outflows, and knows the path to the cessation of outflows. Having known and seen in this way, he is liberated from the outflow of desire, liberated from the outflow of existence and the outflow of ignorance. Having been liberated, he knows that he is liberated, knows that he has ended rebirth, has established pure conduct, has completed what should be done, and will not be reborn again, truly knowing all of this. It is like a Brahmin who, having seen a monkey, asks it: 『Welcome, monkey! Where have you come from, and where are you going?』 The monkey replies: 『Brahmin! I have come from one garden to another, from one viewing place to another, from one forest to another, drinking clear spring water and eating delicious fruits, and now I want to leave, not fearing anyone.』 The bhikkhu I speak of is also like this. Therefore, bhikkhus, do not act like an otter, do not act like an owl, do not act like an eagle, do not act like a regurgitating bird, do not act like a jackal, do not act like a crow, but should act like a monkey. Why is that? Because a true person in the world without attachments is like a monkey. The first part of the 'Sutta of the Crow and the Bird' is concluded (three thousand one hundred and seventy-eight words). (66) The second sutra of the 'Middle Length Discourses, Connected with Kings' speaks of this sutra (the second recitation of the Small Earth City). At one time, the Buddha was wandering in Varanasi, in the Deer Park at the hermitage of the seers.
時,諸比丘于中食后,以小因緣集坐講堂,共論此事:「云何?諸賢!居士在家何者為勝?為比丘等持戒妙法,成就威儀,入家受食耶?為朝朝益利百千萬倍乎?」
或有比丘作是說者:「諸賢!何用益利百千萬倍,唯此至要。若有比丘持戒妙法,成就威儀,入家受食,非為朝朝益利百千萬倍。」
是時,尊者阿那律陀亦在眾中。於是,尊者阿那律陀告諸比丘:「諸賢!何用益利百千萬倍?設復過是,唯此至要。若有比丘持戒妙法,成就威儀,入家受食,非為朝朝益利百千萬倍。所以者何?我憶昔時在此波羅㮈國為貧窮人,唯仰捃拾客擔生活。是時,此波羅㮈國災旱、早霜、蟲蟥,不熟,人民荒儉,乞求難得。是時,有一辟支佛,名曰無患,依此波羅㮈住。於是,無患辟支佛過夜平旦著衣持缽,入波羅㮈而行乞食。我于爾時為捃拾故,早出波羅㮈。諸賢!我登出時,逢見無患辟支佛入彼。時,無患辟支佛持凈缽入,如本凈缽出。
「諸賢!我時捃還入波羅㮈,復見無患辟支佛出。彼見我已,便作是念:『我旦入時,見此人出,我今還出,復見此人入。此人或能未得食也,我今寧可隨此人去。』時,辟支佛便追尋我,如影隨形
現代漢語譯本:當時,眾比丘在午飯後,因為一些小事聚集在講堂,共同討論這件事:『各位賢者,你們說,居士在家中,哪種情況更好呢?是比丘們持守戒律,行為莊重,進入居士家接受供養呢?還是每天都能獲得百千萬倍的利益呢?』 有些比丘這樣說:『各位賢者,要那些百千萬倍的利益有什麼用呢?只有這個最重要。如果有比丘持守戒律,行為莊重,進入居士家接受供養,這比每天獲得百千萬倍的利益更有意義。』 當時,尊者阿那律陀也在人群中。於是,尊者阿那律陀告訴眾比丘:『各位賢者,要那些百千萬倍的利益有什麼用呢?即使超過這個數目,也只有這個最重要。如果有比丘持守戒律,行為莊重,進入居士家接受供養,這比每天獲得百千萬倍的利益更有意義。為什麼呢?我記得以前在這個波羅奈國,我是一個貧窮的人,只能靠撿拾別人丟棄的貨物來維持生計。當時,這個波羅奈國遭遇旱災、早霜、蟲害,莊稼歉收,人民生活困苦,很難乞討到食物。當時,有一位名叫無患的辟支佛,住在這個波羅奈國。於是,無患辟支佛在清晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入波羅奈城乞食。我當時爲了撿拾貨物,很早就出了波羅奈城。各位賢者,我出去的時候,看到無患辟支佛進入城裡。當時,無患辟支佛拿著乾淨的缽進去,又拿著和原來一樣乾淨的缽出來。 『各位賢者,我撿完東西回到波羅奈城,又看到無患辟支佛出來。他看到我后,就想:『我早上進城時,看到這個人出城,我現在出城,又看到這個人進城。這個人可能還沒得到食物,我不如跟著他去。』當時,辟支佛就追著我,像影子跟著身體一樣。』
English version: At that time, the monks, after their midday meal, gathered in the lecture hall due to a minor matter, and discussed this: 'Friends, what do you think is better for a householder at home? Is it for the monks to uphold the precepts, conduct themselves with dignity, and enter homes to receive offerings? Or is it to gain a hundred thousand times more benefits every day?' Some monks said this: 'Friends, what use are those hundred thousand times more benefits? Only this is most important. If a monk upholds the precepts, conducts himself with dignity, and enters homes to receive offerings, it is more meaningful than gaining a hundred thousand times more benefits every day.' At that time, Venerable Anuruddha was also among the crowd. Then, Venerable Anuruddha told the monks: 'Friends, what use are those hundred thousand times more benefits? Even if it exceeds that number, only this is most important. If a monk upholds the precepts, conducts himself with dignity, and enters homes to receive offerings, it is more meaningful than gaining a hundred thousand times more benefits every day. Why is that? I remember that in the past, in this country of Varanasi, I was a poor person, only able to make a living by picking up discarded goods. At that time, this country of Varanasi suffered from drought, early frost, and insect plagues, the crops failed, the people lived in hardship, and it was difficult to beg for food. At that time, there was a Pratyekabuddha named 'No Worry', who lived in this Varanasi. So, 'No Worry' Pratyekabuddha, in the early morning, put on his robes, held his bowl, and entered Varanasi to beg for food. At that time, I went out of Varanasi early to pick up goods. Friends, when I went out, I saw 'No Worry' Pratyekabuddha entering the city. At that time, 'No Worry' Pratyekabuddha entered with a clean bowl, and came out with the same clean bowl. 'Friends, when I returned to Varanasi after picking up goods, I saw 'No Worry' Pratyekabuddha coming out again. After seeing me, he thought: 'When I entered the city this morning, I saw this person leaving the city, and now that I am leaving the city, I see this person entering the city again. This person may not have gotten any food yet, I might as well follow him.' At that time, the Pratyekabuddha followed me, like a shadow following a body.'
。諸賢!我持捃還到家,舍擔而回顧視,便見無患辟支佛來追尋我后,如影隨形。我見彼已,便作是念:『我旦出時,見此仙人入城乞食,今此仙人或未得食,我寧可自闕己食,分與此仙人。』作是念已,即持食分與辟支佛,白曰:『仙人!當知此食是我己分,為慈愍故,愿哀受之。』時,辟支佛即答我曰:『居士!當知今年災旱、早霜、蟲蟥,五穀不熟,人民荒儉,乞求難得。汝可減半著我缽中,汝自食半,俱得存命,如是者好。』我復白曰:『仙人!當知我在居家,自有釜灶、有樵薪、有穀米,飲食早晚亦無時節。仙人!當爲慈愍我故,盡受此食。』時,辟支佛為慈愍故,便盡受之。
「諸賢!我因施彼一缽食福,七反生天,得為天王,七反生人,復為人王。諸賢!我因施彼一缽食福,得生如此釋種族中,大富豐饒,多諸畜牧、封戶、食邑,資財無量,珍寶具足。諸賢!我因施彼一缽食福,棄捨百千垓金錢王,出家學道,況復其餘種種雜物?諸賢!我因施彼一缽食福,為王、王臣、梵志、居士、一切人民所見識待,及四部眾比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷所見敬重。諸賢!我因施彼一缽食福,常為人所請求,令受飲食、衣被、氍氀、毾𣰆、床褥、綩綖、病瘦湯藥、諸生活具,非不請求
現代漢語譯本:諸位賢者!我拿著撿來的東西回到家,放下擔子回頭看,就看到無患辟支佛像影子一樣跟在我身後。我看到他后,就想:『我早上出門時,看到這位仙人進城乞食,現在這位仙人可能還沒得到食物,我寧可自己不吃,把食物分給這位仙人。』這樣想著,我就把食物分給辟支佛,說道:『仙人!請您知道,這食物是我自己的那份,爲了慈悲憐憫,希望您能接受。』當時,辟支佛回答我說:『居士!你要知道今年有旱災、早霜、蟲害,五穀不熟,人民生活困苦,乞討食物很難。你可以分一半到我的缽里,你自己吃一半,我們都能活命,這樣就好。』我再次說道:『仙人!請您知道,我在家中有鍋灶、有柴火、有穀米,早晚吃飯也沒有固定時間。仙人!爲了慈悲憐憫我,請您全部接受這些食物。』當時,辟支佛爲了慈悲憐憫,就全部接受了。 諸位賢者!我因為佈施一缽食物的福報,七次轉生到天上,成為天王,七次轉生到人間,又成為人王。諸位賢者!我因為佈施一缽食物的福報,得以出生在釋迦種族中,非常富有,擁有眾多牲畜、封地、食邑,資財無數,珍寶充足。諸位賢者!我因為佈施一缽食物的福報,捨棄了百千垓金錢的王位,出家學道,更何況其他各種雜物呢?諸位賢者!我因為佈施一缽食物的福報,常被國王、大臣、婆羅門、居士、所有人民所認識和尊敬,也被四部眾比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷所敬重。諸位賢者!我因為佈施一缽食物的福報,常常被人請求,接受飲食、衣服、毛毯、氈毯、床鋪、被褥、病弱時的湯藥、各種生活用品,沒有不被請求的。
English version: 'O virtuous ones! I, having carried the gleanings back home, put down the load and looked back, and I saw the Pratyekabuddha named 'No Worry' following me like a shadow. When I saw him, I thought: 『When I went out this morning, I saw this ascetic entering the city to beg for food. Now, this ascetic may not have received any food. I would rather forgo my own meal and share it with this ascetic.』 Having thought this, I shared the food with the Pratyekabuddha, saying: 『Ascetic! Know that this food is my own portion. Out of compassion, I hope you will accept it.』 At that time, the Pratyekabuddha replied to me: 『Layman! Know that this year there is drought, early frost, and insect plagues. The five grains are not ripe, and the people are in poverty. It is difficult to beg for food. You can put half into my bowl, and you eat half yourself, so we can both survive. That would be good.』 I replied again: 『Ascetic! Know that in my home, I have a stove, firewood, and grains. There is no fixed time for eating, whether it is morning or evening. Ascetic! For the sake of compassion for me, please accept all of this food.』 At that time, the Pratyekabuddha, out of compassion, accepted all of it. 'O virtuous ones! Because of the merit of giving one bowl of food, I was reborn in heaven seven times, becoming a heavenly king, and reborn as a human seven times, again becoming a human king. O virtuous ones! Because of the merit of giving one bowl of food, I was born into the Shakya clan, very wealthy, possessing many livestock, fiefdoms, and estates, with immeasurable wealth and abundant treasures. O virtuous ones! Because of the merit of giving one bowl of food, I abandoned the throne of a king with hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and left home to study the Way, let alone other various things. O virtuous ones! Because of the merit of giving one bowl of food, I am always recognized and respected by kings, ministers, Brahmins, laymen, and all people, and also respected by the four assemblies of monks, nuns, male lay followers, and female lay followers. O virtuous ones! Because of the merit of giving one bowl of food, I am constantly requested by people to receive food, clothing, blankets, rugs, beds, bedding, medicine for illness, and various necessities of life, and there is nothing that is not requested.'
。若我爾時知彼沙門是無著真人者,所獲福報當復轉倍,受大果報,極妙功德,明所徹照,極廣甚大。」
於是,尊者阿那律陀無著、真人、逮正解脫,說此頌曰:
「我憶昔貧窮, 唯仰捃拾活, 闕己供沙門, 無患最上德。 因此生釋種, 名曰阿那律, 善解能歌舞, 作樂常歡喜。 我得見世尊, 正覺如甘露, 見已生信樂, 棄捨家學道。 我得識宿命, 知本之所生, 生三十三天, 七反住于彼。 此七彼亦七, 世受生十四, 人間及天上, 初不墮惡處。 我今知死生, 眾生往來處, 知他心是非, 賢聖五娛樂。 得五支禪定, 常息心靜默, 已得靜正住, 便逮凈天眼。 所為今學道, 遠離棄捨家, 我今獲此義, 得入佛境界。 我不樂於死, 亦不願于生, 隨時任所適, 建立正念智。 隨耶離竹林, 我命在彼盡, 當在竹林下, 無餘般涅槃。」
爾時,世尊在於燕坐,以凈天耳出過於人,聞諸比丘于中食後集坐講堂,共論此事
現代漢語譯本:『如果我當時知道那位沙門是無著真人,所獲得的福報將會加倍,承受更大的果報,極妙的功德,光明所照徹,極其廣大。』 於是,尊者阿那律陀無著、真人、證得正解脫,說了這首偈頌: 『我回憶過去貧窮,只能靠撿拾為生,缺少供養沙門的資財,但無患最上之德。 因此我生為釋迦族人,名叫阿那律,擅長歌舞,作樂時常歡喜。 我得見世尊,正覺如甘露,見到後心生信樂,捨棄家庭出家學道。 我得以知曉宿命,知道自己本來的出生,曾七次生於三十三天。 這七次和另外七次,在世間共受生十四次,在人間和天上,從未墮入惡道。 我現在知道生死,眾生往來的去處,知道他人的心念是非,以及賢聖的五種娛樂。 我獲得五支禪定,常常止息心念,保持靜默,已經得到寂靜的正住,便證得清凈的天眼。 我今所為是學道,遠離並捨棄家庭,我今獲得此義,得以進入佛的境界。 我不貪戀死亡,也不期盼出生,隨時順應所處,建立正念和智慧。 我將在隨耶離竹林,我的生命將在那裡終結,我將在竹林下,無餘涅槃。』 當時,世尊正在靜坐,以清凈的天耳,超越常人,聽到眾比丘在午飯後聚集在講堂,共同談論此事。
English version: 'If I had known at that time that the Shramana was a true Arhat, the merit I would have gained would have doubled, receiving great rewards, supreme merit, illuminated by light, extremely vast and great.' Then, the Venerable Anuruddha, the Arhat, having attained true liberation, spoke this verse: 'I recall my past poverty, living only by gleaning, lacking the means to offer to the Shramanas, yet without worry, I had the highest virtue. Therefore, I was born into the Shakya clan, named Anuruddha, skilled in singing and dancing, always joyful in making music. I saw the World Honored One, the Rightly Awakened One, like nectar, and having seen him, I developed faith and joy, abandoning my home to study the Way. I was able to know my past lives, knowing my original birth, having been born seven times in the Thirty-Three Heavens. These seven and another seven, in the world I have been born fourteen times, in the human and heavenly realms, never falling into evil realms. Now I know birth and death, the places where beings come and go, I know the thoughts of others, right and wrong, and the five pleasures of the wise and holy. I have attained the five-limbed meditation, often ceasing thoughts, remaining silent, having attained peaceful abiding, I then attained the pure heavenly eye. What I do now is study the Way, having left and abandoned my home, I have now attained this meaning, and am able to enter the realm of the Buddha. I do not desire death, nor do I wish for birth, I adapt to wherever I am, establishing right mindfulness and wisdom. I will be in the Venuvana of Sravasti, my life will end there, I will be under the bamboo grove, entering Parinirvana without remainder.' At that time, the World Honored One was in meditation, with his pure heavenly ear, surpassing ordinary people, he heard the monks gathering in the lecture hall after lunch, discussing this matter.
世尊聞已,則于晡時從燕坐起,往至講堂比丘眾前,敷座而坐,問諸比丘:「汝等今日以何事故集坐講堂?」
時,諸比丘白曰:「世尊!我等今日以尊者阿那律陀因過去事而說法故,集坐講堂。」
於是,世尊告諸比丘:「汝等今日欲從佛聞因未來事而說法耶?」
諸比丘白曰:「世尊!今正是時。善逝!今正是時。若世尊為諸比丘因未來事而說法者,諸比丘聞已,當善受持。」
世尊告曰:「諸比丘!未來久遠當有人民壽八萬歲,人壽八萬歲時,此閻浮洲極大富樂,多有人民,村邑相近,如雞一飛。諸比丘!人壽八萬歲時,女年五百乃當出嫁。諸比丘!人壽八萬歲時,唯有如是病,謂寒、熱、大小便、欲、飲食、老,更無餘患。
「諸比丘!人壽八萬歲時,有王名螺,為轉輪王,聰明智慧,有四種軍,整御天下,由己自在。如法法王成就七寶,彼七寶者,輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,是為七,千子具足,顏貌端正,勇猛無畏,能伏他眾。彼當統領此一切地乃至大海,不以刀杖,以法教令,令得安樂
世尊聽了這話,在下午時分從禪坐中起身,前往講堂,在比丘眾前鋪設座位坐下,問眾比丘:『你們今天因為什麼事聚集在講堂?』 當時,眾比丘回答說:『世尊!我們今天是因為尊者阿那律陀講述過去的事情,所以聚集在講堂。』 於是,世尊告訴眾比丘:『你們今天想聽我講述關於未來的事情嗎?』 眾比丘回答說:『世尊!現在正是時候。善逝!現在正是時候。如果世尊為眾比丘講述關於未來的事情,眾比丘聽了之後,一定會好好接受並牢記。』 世尊說:『眾比丘!仔細聽,仔細聽!好好思考,我將為你們詳細地分別解說。』當時,眾比丘接受教誨,認真聽講。 世尊說:『眾比丘!未來很久以後,人們的壽命將達到八萬歲。當人們壽命八萬歲時,這個閻浮洲將極其富饒快樂,人口眾多,村莊相連,近得像雞一飛的距離。眾比丘!當人們壽命八萬歲時,女子要到五百歲才出嫁。眾比丘!當人們壽命八萬歲時,只有這些疾病,即寒冷、炎熱、大小便、慾望、飲食、衰老,沒有其他疾病。 『眾比丘!當人們壽命八萬歲時,會有一位名叫螺的國王,成為轉輪王,聰明智慧,擁有四種軍隊,統治天下,自由自在。他將如法治理國家,擁有七寶,這七寶是:輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,這就是七寶。他將有一千個兒子,容貌端正,勇敢無畏,能夠降伏其他勢力。他將統治這片土地,直到大海,不用刀劍,而是用佛法教導,使人民安樂。』
Having heard this, the World Honored One arose from his meditation in the afternoon, went to the lecture hall, sat down on the seat prepared before the assembly of monks, and asked the monks, 'Why have you gathered in the lecture hall today?' At that time, the monks replied, 'World Honored One! We have gathered in the lecture hall today because the Venerable Anuruddha was speaking about past events.' Then, the World Honored One said to the monks, 'Do you wish to hear me speak about future events today?' The monks replied, 'World Honored One! Now is the right time. O Well-Gone One! Now is the right time. If the World Honored One were to speak to the monks about future events, the monks, having heard it, would receive and uphold it well.' The World Honored One said, 'Monks! In the distant future, people will have a lifespan of eighty thousand years. When people have a lifespan of eighty thousand years, this Jambudvipa will be extremely wealthy and happy, with a large population, and villages will be close together, as close as the distance a chicken can fly. Monks! When people have a lifespan of eighty thousand years, women will marry at the age of five hundred. Monks! When people have a lifespan of eighty thousand years, there will only be these illnesses: cold, heat, urination, defecation, desire, food, and old age; there will be no other illnesses.' 'Monks! When people have a lifespan of eighty thousand years, there will be a king named Snail, who will be a Wheel-Turning King, intelligent and wise, possessing four kinds of armies, governing the world, and being free and independent. He will rule the country righteously, possessing seven treasures. These seven treasures are: the Wheel Treasure, the Elephant Treasure, the Horse Treasure, the Jewel Treasure, the Woman Treasure, the Householder Treasure, and the Chief Military Minister Treasure. These are the seven. He will have a thousand sons, with handsome appearances, brave and fearless, able to subdue other forces. He will rule all this land, even to the great ocean, not with swords and weapons, but with the Dharma, teaching and bringing peace to the people.'
。有大金幢,諸寶嚴飾,舉高千肘,圍十六肘,彼當豎之。既豎之後,下便佈施沙門、梵志、貧窮、孤獨、遠來乞者,以飲食、衣被、車乘、華鬘、散華、涂香、屋舍、床褥、氍氀、綩綖、給使、明燈。彼施此已,便剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道,彼族姓子所為,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,唯無上梵行訖,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。」
爾時,尊者阿夷哆在眾中坐。於是,尊者阿夷哆即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!我于未來久遠人壽八萬歲時,可得作王,號名曰螺,為轉輪王,聰明智慧,有四種軍,整御天下,由己自在。如法法王成就七寶,彼七寶者,輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,是為七,我當有千子具足,顏貌端正,勇猛無畏,能伏他眾,我當統領此一切地乃至大海,不以刀杖,以法教令,令得安樂。有大金幢,諸寶嚴飾,舉高千肘,圍十六肘,我當豎之。既豎之後,下便佈施沙門、梵志、貧窮、孤獨、遠來乞者,以飲食、衣被、車乘、花鬘、散華、涂香、屋舍、床褥、氍氀、綩綖、給使、明燈
現代漢語譯本:有巨大的金幢,用各種珍寶裝飾,高千肘,周長十六肘,他應當將它豎立起來。豎立之後,就向下佈施給沙門、婆羅門、貧窮的人、孤獨的人、遠道而來的乞討者,用飲食、衣服、車乘、花環、散花、涂香、房屋、床鋪、毛毯、細毛織物、僕人、明燈。他佈施完這些后,就剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信仰,捨棄家庭,過著無家可歸的生活,學習佛道。那些族姓子所做的,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信仰,捨棄家庭,過著無家可歸的生活,學習佛道的人,只有無上的梵行才能完成,在現世中自己知道自己覺悟,自己作證成就,生死已盡,梵行已建立,該做的已做完,不再受輪迴,如實知曉真理。 當時,尊者阿夷哆在眾人中坐著。於是,尊者阿夷哆立即從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,雙手合十向佛,稟告說:『世尊!我將來在遙遠的人壽八萬歲時,可以成為國王,號名為螺,成為轉輪王,聰明智慧,擁有四種軍隊,統治天下,由自己做主。如法之王成就七寶,這七寶是:輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,這就是七寶。我將有一千個兒子,都相貌端正,勇猛無畏,能夠降伏其他人群,我將統治這整個大地乃至大海,不用刀劍,用佛法教導,使他們得到安樂。有巨大的金幢,用各種珍寶裝飾,高千肘,周長十六肘,我應當將它豎立起來。豎立之後,就向下佈施給沙門、婆羅門、貧窮的人、孤獨的人、遠道而來的乞討者,用飲食、衣服、車乘、花環、散花、涂香、房屋、床鋪、毛毯、細毛織物、僕人、明燈』
English version: There is a great golden banner, adorned with various treasures, a thousand cubits high and sixteen cubits in circumference, which he should erect. After erecting it, he would then give alms to ascetics, Brahmins, the poor, the lonely, and those who come from afar begging, with food, clothing, vehicles, garlands, scattered flowers, perfumes, houses, beds, blankets, fine woolen fabrics, servants, and bright lamps. After giving these, he would shave off his hair and beard, put on the monastic robe, with faith, leave home, live a homeless life, and study the Way. Those sons of good families who shave off their hair and beard, put on the monastic robe, with faith, leave home, live a homeless life, and study the Way, only the supreme holy life is completed, in the present life they know and realize for themselves, they achieve self-realization, birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what needs to be done is done, they will not be reborn, they know the truth as it is. At that time, Venerable Ajita was sitting in the assembly. Then, Venerable Ajita immediately rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, and with his palms together, faced the Buddha and said: 'World Honored One! In the distant future, when people's lifespan is eighty thousand years, I can become a king, named Snail, a wheel-turning king, intelligent and wise, with four kinds of armies, ruling the world, being self-reliant. As a righteous king, I will possess the seven treasures, which are: the wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the householder treasure, and the chief military minister treasure, these are the seven. I will have a thousand sons, all with handsome appearances, brave and fearless, able to subdue other groups, I will rule this entire earth and even the ocean, not with swords and weapons, but with the Dharma, leading them to peace and happiness. There is a great golden banner, adorned with various treasures, a thousand cubits high and sixteen cubits in circumference, which I should erect. After erecting it, I would then give alms to ascetics, Brahmins, the poor, the lonely, and those who come from afar begging, with food, clothing, vehicles, garlands, scattered flowers, perfumes, houses, beds, blankets, fine woolen fabrics, servants, and bright lamps.'
。我施此已,便剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道,我族姓子所為,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,唯無上梵行訖,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。」
於是,世尊訶尊者阿夷哆曰:「汝愚癡人!應更一死,而求再終。所以者何?謂汝作是念:『世尊!我于未來久遠人壽八萬歲時,可得作王,號名曰螺,為轉輪王,聰明智慧,有四種軍,整御天下,由己自在。如法法王成就七寶,彼七寶者,輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,是為七,我當有千子具足,顏貌端正,勇猛無畏,能伏他眾,我當統領此一切地乃至大海,不以刀杖,以法教令,令得安樂。有大金幢,諸寶嚴飾,舉高千肘,圍十六肘,我當豎之。既豎之後,下便佈施沙門、梵志、貧窮、孤獨、遠來乞者,以飲食、衣被、車乘、華鬘、散華、涂香、屋舍、床褥、氍氀、綩綖、給使、明燈。我施此已,便剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道,我族姓子所為,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,唯無上梵行訖,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真
現代漢語譯本:'我做完這些后,便會剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信仰捨棄家庭,過上無家可歸的修行生活。我族中的子弟所做的,就是剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信仰捨棄家庭,過上無家可歸的修行生活,最終完成無上的梵行,在今生今世就能自我認知、自我覺悟,自我證悟併成就道果,達到生死已盡、梵行已立、所作已辦、不再受輪迴之苦的境界,如實知曉真理。' 現代漢語譯本:'於是,世尊呵斥尊者阿夷哆說:『你這愚癡之人!應該經歷一次死亡,卻還想著再次終結。這是為什麼呢?因為你這樣想:『世尊!我將來在遙遠的人壽八萬歲時,可以成為國王,名叫螺,成為轉輪王,聰明智慧,擁有四種軍隊,統治天下,自由自在。我將如法治理國家,成就七寶,這七寶是:輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶。我將有上千個相貌端正、勇猛無畏、能降伏敵人的兒子。我將統治這整個大地,乃至大海,不用刀劍,而是用佛法教化,使他們得到安樂。我將擁有一根巨大的金幢,用各種寶物裝飾,高千肘,周長十六肘,我將豎立它。豎立之後,我將佈施給沙門、婆羅門、貧窮的人、孤獨的人、遠道而來的乞討者,給予他們飲食、衣服、車乘、花環、散花、涂香、房屋、床鋪、毛毯、絲織品、僕人、明燈。我做完這些后,便會剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信仰捨棄家庭,過上無家可歸的修行生活。我族中的子弟所做的,就是剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信仰捨棄家庭,過上無家可歸的修行生活,最終完成無上的梵行,在今生今世就能自我認知、自我覺悟,自我證悟併成就道果,達到生死已盡、梵行已立、所作已辦、不再受輪迴之苦的境界,如實知曉真理。』
English version: 'Having done this, I will shave my head and beard, put on the monastic robes, and with faith, leave home and family to pursue the path of homelessness and spiritual practice. What my clansmen do is to shave their heads and beards, put on the monastic robes, and with faith, leave home and family to pursue the path of homelessness and spiritual practice, ultimately completing the unsurpassed holy life. In this very life, they will know and realize for themselves, attain and abide in the realization, that birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, there is no more coming to any state of being, and know this as it truly is.' English version: 'Then, the Blessed One rebuked the Venerable Ajita, saying: 『You foolish man! You should experience one death, yet you seek another end. Why is that? Because you think like this: 『Venerable Sir! In the distant future, when people live to be eighty thousand years old, I can become a king named Snail, a wheel-turning monarch, intelligent and wise, with four kinds of armies, ruling the world, self-governing. I will rule righteously, possessing the seven treasures: the wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the householder treasure, and the chief minister treasure. I will have a thousand sons, handsome, brave, and fearless, able to subdue others. I will rule over all this earth, even to the great ocean, not with weapons, but with the Dharma, bringing them peace and happiness. I will have a great golden banner, adorned with various jewels, a thousand cubits high and sixteen cubits in circumference, and I will raise it. After raising it, I will give alms to ascetics, Brahmins, the poor, the lonely, and those who come from afar, giving them food, clothing, vehicles, garlands, scattered flowers, perfumes, houses, beds, blankets, fine cloths, servants, and lamps. Having done this, I will shave my head and beard, put on the monastic robes, and with faith, leave home and family to pursue the path of homelessness and spiritual practice. What my clansmen do is to shave their heads and beards, put on the monastic robes, and with faith, leave home and family to pursue the path of homelessness and spiritual practice, ultimately completing the unsurpassed holy life. In this very life, they will know and realize for themselves, attain and abide in the realization, that birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, there is no more coming to any state of being, and know this as it truly is.』
世尊告曰:「阿夷哆!汝于未來久遠人壽八萬歲時,當得作王,號名曰螺,為轉輪王,聰明智慧,有四種軍,整御天下,由己自在。如法法王成就七寶,彼七寶者,輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,是為七,汝當有千子具足,顏貌端正,勇猛無畏,能伏他眾,汝當統領此一切地乃至大海,不以刀杖,以法教令,令得安樂。有大金幢,諸寶嚴飾,舉高千肘,圍十六肘,汝當豎之,既豎之後,下便佈施沙門、梵志、貧窮、孤獨、遠來乞者,以飲食、衣被、車乘、華鬘、散華、涂香、屋舍、床褥、氍氀、綩綖、給使、明燈。汝施此已,便剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道,汝族姓子所為,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,唯無上梵行訖,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。」
佛告諸比丘:「未來久遠人壽八萬歲時,當有佛,名彌勒如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐,猶如我今已成如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐
世尊告訴阿夷哆:『阿夷哆!你將來在人壽八萬歲時,將成為國王,名為螺,成為轉輪王。你聰明智慧,擁有四種軍隊,統治天下,自由自在。你將如法成為法王,擁有七寶,這七寶是:輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶。你將有千子,他們容貌端正,勇猛無畏,能降伏其他人群。你將統治這片土地,直至大海,不用刀劍,而是用佛法教導,使他們得到安樂。你將有一根巨大的金幢,用各種寶物裝飾,高千肘,周長十六肘。你將豎起它,豎起之後,就佈施給沙門、婆羅門、貧窮的人、孤獨的人、遠道而來的乞討者,給予他們飲食、衣服、車乘、花環、散花、涂香、房屋、床鋪、毛毯、絲織品、僕人、明燈。你佈施之後,就會剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以至誠之心,捨棄家庭,出家修道。你的族姓子弟也會這樣做,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以至誠之心,捨棄家庭,出家修道,直到完成無上梵行,在現世中自知自覺,親自證悟,成就遊行,生死已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不再受輪迴,如實知曉。』 佛告訴眾比丘:『未來久遠,當人壽八萬歲時,將有一尊佛,名為彌勒如來、無所著、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊,就像我現在已成如來、無所著、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊一樣。』
The World Honored One said to Ajita: 'Ajita! In the distant future, when the human lifespan is eighty thousand years, you will become a king named Snail, a wheel-turning monarch. You will be intelligent and wise, possessing four kinds of armies, governing the world with freedom. You will righteously become a Dharma king, possessing seven treasures: the wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the householder treasure, and the chief military minister treasure. You will have a thousand sons, all with upright appearances, courageous and fearless, able to subdue others. You will rule this entire land, even to the great ocean, not with swords and weapons, but with Dharma teachings, bringing them peace and happiness. You will have a great golden banner, adorned with various treasures, a thousand cubits high and sixteen cubits in circumference. You will raise it, and after raising it, you will give alms to monks, Brahmins, the poor, the lonely, and those who come from afar begging, providing them with food, clothing, vehicles, garlands, scattered flowers, fragrant ointments, houses, beds, blankets, silk fabrics, servants, and lamps. After giving these alms, you will shave your head and beard, put on the monastic robe, and with sincere faith, leave your home, renounce the household life, and practice the Way. Your clan's sons will also do this, shaving their heads and beards, putting on the monastic robe, and with sincere faith, leaving their homes, renouncing the household life, and practicing the Way, until they complete the unsurpassed pure conduct, realizing and awakening for themselves in this very life, personally witnessing and achieving liberation, their births ended, their pure conduct established, their tasks completed, no longer subject to rebirth, knowing the truth as it is.' The Buddha told the monks: 'In the distant future, when the human lifespan is eighty thousand years, there will be a Buddha named Maitreya, the Thus Come One, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, perfect in knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Trainer of Those Who Can Be Trained, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, called Buddha, the Blessed One, just as I am now the Thus Come One, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, perfect in knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Trainer of Those Who Can Be Trained, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, called Buddha, the Blessed One.'
。彼於此世,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,自知自覺,自作證成就游,猶如我今於此世,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,自知自覺,自作證成就游。彼當說法,初妙、中妙、竟亦妙,有義有文,具足清凈,顯現梵行,猶如我今說法,初妙、中妙、竟亦妙,有義有文,具足清凈,顯現梵行。彼當廣演流佈梵行,大會無量,從人至天,善發顯現,猶如我今廣演流佈梵行,大會無量,從人至天,善發顯現,彼當有無量百千比丘眾,猶如我今無量百千比丘眾。」
爾時,尊者彌勒在彼眾中。於是,尊者彌勒即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛白曰:「世尊!我于未來久遠人壽八萬歲時,可得成佛,名彌勒如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐,如今世尊、如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐。我於此世,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,自知自覺,自作證成就游,如今世尊於此世,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,自知自覺,自作證成就游。我當說法,初妙、中妙、竟亦妙,有義有文,具足清凈,顯現梵行,如今世尊說法,初妙、中妙、竟亦妙,有義有文,具足清凈,顯現梵行
現代漢語譯本:'他將在這個世界上,在天、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門,從人到天之間,自知自覺,親自證悟併成就遊行,就像我現在在這個世界上,在天、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門,從人到天之間,自知自覺,親自證悟併成就遊行一樣。他將宣說佛法,開初殊勝、中間殊勝、結尾也殊勝,意義深遠,文辭優美,圓滿清凈,彰顯梵行,就像我現在宣說佛法,開初殊勝、中間殊勝、結尾也殊勝,意義深遠,文辭優美,圓滿清凈,彰顯梵行一樣。他將廣泛弘揚梵行,集會無量,從人到天,善加顯現,就像我現在廣泛弘揚梵行,集會無量,從人到天,善加顯現一樣。他將有無量百千比丘僧眾,就像我現在有無量百千比丘僧眾一樣。' 當時,尊者彌勒也在那個集會中。於是,尊者彌勒即從座位上起身,袒露右肩,合掌向佛稟告說:'世尊!我于未來久遠,當人壽八萬歲時,可以成佛,名號為彌勒如來、應供、正等覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊,就像現在世尊、如來、應供、正等覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊一樣。我將在這個世界上,在天、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門,從人到天之間,自知自覺,親自證悟併成就遊行,就像現在世尊在這個世界上,在天、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門,從人到天之間,自知自覺,親自證悟併成就遊行一樣。我將宣說佛法,開初殊勝、中間殊勝、結尾也殊勝,意義深遠,文辭優美,圓滿清凈,彰顯梵行,就像現在世尊宣說佛法,開初殊勝、中間殊勝、結尾也殊勝,意義深遠,文辭優美,圓滿清凈,彰顯梵行一樣。'
English version: 'He, in this world, among gods, demons, Brahma, ascetics, and Brahmins, from humans to gods, will know by himself, be awakened by himself, personally realize and accomplish the journey, just as I am now in this world, among gods, demons, Brahma, ascetics, and Brahmins, from humans to gods, know by myself, am awakened by myself, personally realize and accomplish the journey. He will preach the Dharma, excellent in the beginning, excellent in the middle, and excellent in the end, with profound meaning and beautiful words, complete and pure, manifesting the Brahma conduct, just as I now preach the Dharma, excellent in the beginning, excellent in the middle, and excellent in the end, with profound meaning and beautiful words, complete and pure, manifesting the Brahma conduct. He will widely propagate the Brahma conduct, gathering immeasurable beings, from humans to gods, well manifesting it, just as I now widely propagate the Brahma conduct, gathering immeasurable beings, from humans to gods, well manifesting it. He will have immeasurable hundreds of thousands of Bhikkhu assemblies, just as I now have immeasurable hundreds of thousands of Bhikkhu assemblies.' At that time, Venerable Maitreya was also in that assembly. Then, Venerable Maitreya immediately rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, and with his palms together, addressed the Buddha, saying: 'World Honored One! In the distant future, when human lifespan is eighty thousand years, I will be able to attain Buddhahood, with the name Maitreya Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, Vidyacharana Sampanna, Sugata, Lokavid, Anuttara Purushadamyasarathi, Shastha Devamanushyanam, Buddha, Bhagavan, just like the World Honored One, Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, Vidyacharana Sampanna, Sugata, Lokavid, Anuttara Purushadamyasarathi, Shastha Devamanushyanam, Buddha, Bhagavan now. I, in this world, among gods, demons, Brahma, ascetics, and Brahmins, from humans to gods, will know by myself, be awakened by myself, personally realize and accomplish the journey, just as the World Honored One is now in this world, among gods, demons, Brahma, ascetics, and Brahmins, from humans to gods, knows by himself, is awakened by himself, personally realizes and accomplishes the journey. I will preach the Dharma, excellent in the beginning, excellent in the middle, and excellent in the end, with profound meaning and beautiful words, complete and pure, manifesting the Brahma conduct, just as the World Honored One now preaches the Dharma, excellent in the beginning, excellent in the middle, and excellent in the end, with profound meaning and beautiful words, complete and pure, manifesting the Brahma conduct.'
。我當廣演流佈梵行,大會無量,從人至天,善發顯現,如今世尊廣演流佈梵行,大會無量,從人至天,善發顯現。我當有無量百千比丘眾,如今世尊無量百千比丘眾。」
於是,世尊嘆彌勒曰:「善哉,善哉!彌勒!汝發心極妙,謂領大眾。所以者何?如汝作是念:『世尊!我于未來久遠人壽八萬歲時,可得成佛,名彌勒如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐,如今世尊、如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐。我於此世,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,自知自覺,自作證成就游,如今世尊於此世,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,自知自覺,自作證成就游。我當說法,初妙、中妙、竟亦妙,有義有文,具足清凈,顯現梵行,如今世尊說法,初妙、中妙、竟亦妙,有義有文,具足清凈,顯現梵行。我當廣演流佈梵行,大會無量,從人至天,善發顯現,如今世尊廣演流佈梵行,大會無量,從人至天,善發顯現
現代漢語譯本:我應當廣泛宣揚佛法,使之流傳開來,集會的人數將是無量的,從人到天,都能很好地顯現佛法的妙處。如今世尊也在廣泛宣揚佛法,使之流傳開來,集會的人數也是無量的,從人到天,都能很好地顯現佛法的妙處。我應當擁有無量百千的比丘僧眾,如今世尊也擁有無量百千的比丘僧眾。 於是,世尊讚歎彌勒說:『好啊,好啊!彌勒!你發的心願非常殊勝,是想要領導大眾。這是為什麼呢?因為你這樣想:『世尊!我將來在很久遠的未來,當人們的壽命達到八萬歲時,可以成佛,佛號為彌勒如來、無所著、等正覺、明行圓滿、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊。如今世尊也是如來、無所著、等正覺、明行圓滿、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊。我於此世,在天界、魔界、梵界、沙門、婆羅門中,從人到天,都能自知自覺,親自證悟併成就遊歷,如今世尊也於此世,在天界、魔界、梵界、沙門、婆羅門中,從人到天,都能自知自覺,親自證悟併成就遊歷。我應當說法,初善、中善、后亦善,意義深遠,文辭優美,具足清凈,顯現佛法的修行,如今世尊說法,初善、中善、后亦善,意義深遠,文辭優美,具足清凈,顯現佛法的修行。我應當廣泛宣揚佛法,使之流傳開來,集會的人數將是無量的,從人到天,都能很好地顯現佛法的妙處,如今世尊也在廣泛宣揚佛法,使之流傳開來,集會的人數也是無量的,從人到天,都能很好地顯現佛法的妙處。』
English version: I shall widely propagate the Brahma-faring, making it flow and spread. The assembly will be immeasurable, from humans to gods, and the virtues will be well manifested. Now, the World-Honored One is also widely propagating the Brahma-faring, making it flow and spread. The assembly is immeasurable, from humans to gods, and the virtues are well manifested. I shall have an immeasurable multitude of hundreds of thousands of Bhikkhus, just as the World-Honored One now has an immeasurable multitude of hundreds of thousands of Bhikkhus. Then, the World-Honored One praised Maitreya, saying: 'Excellent, excellent! Maitreya! Your aspiration is extremely wonderful, that is, to lead the multitude. Why is that? Because you think like this: 'World-Honored One! In the distant future, when the lifespan of humans reaches eighty thousand years, I can attain Buddhahood, named Maitreya Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, the Accomplished in Knowledge and Conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Tamer of Men, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, called Buddha, the Blessed One. Now, the World-Honored One is also the Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, the Accomplished in Knowledge and Conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Tamer of Men, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, called Buddha, the Blessed One. In this world, among gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, and Brahmins, from humans to gods, I will know and realize for myself, personally attain and accomplish the journey. Now, the World-Honored One also in this world, among gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, and Brahmins, from humans to gods, knows and realizes for himself, personally attains and accomplishes the journey. I shall teach the Dharma, excellent in the beginning, excellent in the middle, and excellent in the end, with profound meaning and beautiful words, complete and pure, manifesting the Brahma-faring. Now, the World-Honored One teaches the Dharma, excellent in the beginning, excellent in the middle, and excellent in the end, with profound meaning and beautiful words, complete and pure, manifesting the Brahma-faring. I shall widely propagate the Brahma-faring, making it flow and spread. The assembly will be immeasurable, from humans to gods, and the virtues will be well manifested. Now, the World-Honored One is also widely propagating the Brahma-faring, making it flow and spread. The assembly is immeasurable, from humans to gods, and the virtues are well manifested.'
佛復告曰:「彌勒!汝于未來久遠人壽八萬歲時,當得作佛,名彌勒如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐,猶如我今如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐。汝於此世,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,自知自覺,自作證成就游,猶如我今於此世,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,自知自覺,自作證成就游。汝當說法,初妙、中妙、竟亦妙,有義有文,具足清凈,顯現梵行,猶如我今說法,初妙、中妙、竟亦妙,有義有文,具足清凈,顯現梵行。汝當廣演流佈梵行,大會無量,從人至天,善發顯現,猶如我今廣演流佈梵行,大會無量,從人至天,善發顯現。汝當有無量百千比丘眾,猶如我今無量百千比丘眾。」
爾時,尊者阿難執拂侍佛。於是,世尊回顧告曰:「阿難!汝取金縷織成衣來,我今欲與彌勒比丘。」
爾時,尊者阿難受世尊教,即取金縷織成衣來,授與世尊。於是,世尊從尊者阿難受此金縷織成衣已,告曰:「彌勒!汝從如來取此金縷織成之衣,施佛、法、眾。所以者何?彌勒!諸如來、無所著、等正覺,為世間護,求義及饒益,求安隱快樂
佛陀又告訴彌勒:『彌勒,你將來在人壽八萬歲的時候,將會成佛,名為彌勒如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成就、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊,就像我現在如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成就、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊一樣。你在這個世間,天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門,從人到天,都能自知自覺,自作證成就而游化,就像我現在在這個世間,天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門,從人到天,都能自知自覺,自作證成就而游化一樣。你將說法,初善、中善、后亦善,有義理有文辭,具足清凈,顯現梵行,就像我現在說法,初善、中善、后亦善,有義理有文辭,具足清凈,顯現梵行一樣。你將廣為演說流佈梵行,大會無量,從人到天,善加顯現,就像我現在廣為演說流佈梵行,大會無量,從人到天,善加顯現一樣。你將有無量百千比丘眾,就像我現在有無量百千比丘眾一樣。』 當時,尊者阿難拿著拂塵侍奉佛陀。這時,世尊回頭告訴阿難:『阿難,你去取金縷織成的衣服來,我現在要給彌勒比丘。』 當時,尊者阿難接受世尊的教誨,立即取來金縷織成的衣服,交給世尊。這時,世尊從尊者阿難手中接過這件金縷織成的衣服后,告訴彌勒:『彌勒,你從如來這裡取走這件金縷織成的衣服,施給佛、法、僧。這是為什麼呢?彌勒,諸如來、無所著、等正覺,是爲了世間的守護,爲了追求義理和利益,爲了追求安穩快樂。』
The Buddha further said to Maitreya, 'Maitreya, in the future, when the human lifespan is eighty thousand years, you will attain Buddhahood, named Maitreya Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, Vidyacharana Sampanna, Sugata, Lokavid, Anuttara Purushadamyasarathi, Shastha Devamanushyanam, Buddha, Bhagavan, just like I am now the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, Vidyacharana Sampanna, Sugata, Lokavid, Anuttara Purushadamyasarathi, Shastha Devamanushyanam, Buddha, Bhagavan. In this world, you, among gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, and Brahmins, from humans to gods, will know and realize for yourself, and having attained self-realization, will wander, just as I now in this world, among gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, and Brahmins, from humans to gods, know and realize for myself, and having attained self-realization, wander. You will preach the Dharma, excellent in the beginning, excellent in the middle, and excellent in the end, with meaning and words, complete and pure, revealing the holy life, just as I now preach the Dharma, excellent in the beginning, excellent in the middle, and excellent in the end, with meaning and words, complete and pure, revealing the holy life. You will widely expound and spread the holy life, with immeasurable assemblies, from humans to gods, well manifested, just as I now widely expound and spread the holy life, with immeasurable assemblies, from humans to gods, well manifested. You will have an immeasurable assembly of hundreds of thousands of monks, just as I now have an immeasurable assembly of hundreds of thousands of monks.' At that time, the Venerable Ananda was attending to the Buddha, holding a fan. Then, the World Honored One turned and said to Ananda, 'Ananda, go and fetch the robe woven with golden threads, I now wish to give it to the monk Maitreya.' At that time, the Venerable Ananda, having received the World Honored One's instruction, immediately brought the robe woven with golden threads and gave it to the World Honored One. Then, the World Honored One, having received this robe woven with golden threads from the Venerable Ananda, said to Maitreya, 'Maitreya, take this robe woven with golden threads from the Tathagata and offer it to the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. Why is that? Maitreya, the Tathagatas, Arhats, Samyaksambuddhas, are protectors of the world, seeking meaning and benefit, seeking peace and happiness.'
於是,尊者彌勒從如來取金縷織成衣已,施佛、法、眾。
時,魔波旬便作是念:「此沙門瞿曇游波羅㮈仙人住處鹿野園中,彼為弟子因未來說法,我寧可往而嬈亂之。」時,魔波旬往至佛所,到已向佛即說頌曰:
「彼必定當得, 容貌妙第一, 華鬘瓔珞身, 明珠佩其臂, 若在雞頭城, 螺王境界中。」
於是,世尊而作是念:「此魔波旬來到我所,欲相嬈亂。」世尊知已,為魔波旬即說頌曰:
「彼必定當得, 無伏無疑惑, 斷生老病死, 無漏所作訖, 若行梵行者, 彌勒境界中。」
於是,魔王復說頌曰:
「彼必定當得, 名衣上妙服, 旃檀以涂體, 身𦟛直姝長,
爾時,世尊復說頌曰:
「彼必定當得, 無主亦無家, 手不持金寶, 無為無所憂,
「彼必定當得, 名財好飲食, 善能解歌舞, 作樂常歡喜, 若在雞頭城, 螺王境界中
於是,彌勒尊者從如來那裡取來用金線織成的衣服,施捨給佛、法、僧三寶。 當時,魔王波旬心想:『這位沙門瞿曇在波羅奈仙人居住的鹿野園中,因為要為弟子們講述未來的佛法,我不如前去擾亂他。』於是,魔王波旬來到佛陀所在之處,到了之後,向佛陀說了這樣一首偈語: 『他必定會得到,容貌無比美妙,身上佩戴著花環瓔珞,手臂上戴著明珠,如果身處雞頭城,在螺王的領地之中。』 這時,世尊心想:『這個魔王波旬來到我這裡,是想擾亂我。』世尊知道后,就為魔王波旬說了這樣一首偈語: 『他必定會得到,沒有被任何事物所束縛,也沒有任何疑惑,斷絕了生老病死,完成了無漏的修行,如果修行梵行,在彌勒的境界之中。』 於是,魔王又說了一首偈語: 『他必定會得到,名貴的上等衣服,用旃檀塗抹身體,身形挺拔修長,如果身處雞頭城,在螺王的領地之中。』 這時,世尊又說了一首偈語: 『他必定會得到,沒有主人也沒有家,手中不持有金銀珠寶,無所作為也無所憂慮,如果修行梵行,在彌勒的境界之中。』 『他必定會得到,名貴的財富和美味的食物,擅長歌舞,作樂時常歡喜,如果身處雞頭城,在螺王的領地之中。
Then, the Venerable Maitreya, having taken the gold-threaded robe from the Tathagata, bestowed it upon the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'This Shramana Gautama is in the Deer Park, the dwelling place of the sages in Varanasi. Because he is going to preach the Dharma of the future for his disciples, I might as well go and disturb him.' Then, Mara Papiyas went to where the Buddha was. Having arrived, he spoke the following verse to the Buddha: 'He will surely obtain, a countenance of exquisite beauty, adorned with garlands and necklaces, with pearls on his arms, if he is in the city of Kukkuṭa, within the realm of the Conch King.' Then, the World Honored One thought: 'This Mara Papiyas has come to me, intending to disturb me.' Knowing this, the World Honored One spoke the following verse to Mara Papiyas: 'He will surely obtain, freedom from subjugation and doubt, having severed birth, old age, sickness, and death, having completed the taintless practice, if he practices the holy life, within the realm of Maitreya.' Then, the Mara King spoke another verse: 'He will surely obtain, renowned and exquisite garments, his body anointed with sandalwood, his form upright and tall, if he is in the city of Kukkuṭa, within the realm of the Conch King.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke another verse: 'He will surely obtain, being without master or home, not holding gold or jewels in his hands, without action and without worry, if he practices the holy life, within the realm of Maitreya.' 'He will surely obtain, renowned wealth and delicious food, skilled in singing and dancing, always joyful in making music, if he is in the city of Kukkuṭa, within the realm of the Conch King.'
「彼為必度岸, 如鳥破網出, 得禪自在游, 具樂常歡喜, 汝魔必當知, 我已相降伏。」
於是,魔王復作是念:「世尊知我,善逝見我。」愁惱憂戚不能得住,即于彼處忽沒不現。
佛說如是。彌勒、阿夷哆、尊者阿難及諸比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

一時,佛游鞞陀提國,與大比丘眾俱,往至彌薩羅,住大天㮈林中。
爾時,世尊行道中路欣然而笑。尊者阿難見世尊笑,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!何因緣笑?諸如來、無所著、等正覺若無因緣,終不妄笑,愿聞其意。」
彼時,世尊告曰:「阿難!在昔異時此彌薩羅㮈林之中,于彼有王,名曰大天,為轉輪王,聰明智慧,有四種軍,整御天下,由己自在,如法法王成就七寶,得人四種如意之德
那時,世尊又說了偈頌: 『他必定能渡到彼岸,就像鳥兒破網而出, 獲得禪定自在遨遊,擁有快樂常常歡喜, 你這魔王必定要知道,我已經降伏了你。』 於是,魔王又這樣想:『世尊知道我,善逝看見我。』他愁惱憂慮,無法停留,就在那裡忽然消失不見。 佛陀說了這些。彌勒、阿夷哆、尊者阿難以及眾比丘,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《本經》第二部分結束(四千一百字) 《中阿含經》卷第十三(七千一百七十九字)(第二小土城誦) 《中阿含經》卷第十四 (六七)《中阿含王相應品大天㮈林經》第三(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在鞞陀提國游化,與眾多比丘一起,前往彌薩羅,住在『大天㮈林』中。 那時,世尊在路上行走,欣然而笑。尊者阿難看見世尊笑了,合掌向佛,說道:『世尊!是什麼因緣讓您發笑?諸如來、無所著、等正覺如果沒有因緣,終究不會無故發笑,希望聽聞其中的含義。』 那時,世尊說道:『阿難!在過去的時候,這彌薩羅『㮈林』之中,有一位國王,名叫大天,是轉輪王,聰明智慧,擁有四種軍隊,統治天下,由自己做主,如法而治,成就七寶,得到人們四種如意的美德。』
Then, the World-Honored One spoke again in verse: 'He will surely cross to the other shore, like a bird breaking free from a net, Having attained meditative freedom, he roams freely, possessing joy and always rejoicing, You, Mara, must know, I have already subdued you.' Then, the Mara King thought, 'The World-Honored One knows me, the Well-Gone One sees me.' Troubled and worried, he could not stay, and vanished from that place. Thus spoke the Buddha. Maitreya, Ajita, Venerable Ananda, and all the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The second part of this sutra ends (4100 words) The Middle Length Discourses, Volume 13 (7179 words) (Second Small Earth City Recitation) Taisho Tripitaka Volume 01, No. 0026, Middle Length Discourses The Middle Length Discourses, Volume 14 Translated by the Tripitaka Master Gautama Sanghadheva of Kipin during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (67) The Great Deva Palm Grove Sutra, the Third of the King-Related Section of the Middle Length Discourses (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Vedeha, and together with a large assembly of monks, went to Misala, and stayed in the Great Deva Palm Grove. At that time, the World-Honored One was walking on the road when he smiled with delight. Venerable Ananda, seeing the World-Honored One smile, clasped his hands towards the Buddha and said, 'World-Honored One! What is the reason for your smile? The Tathagatas, the Unattached Ones, the Perfectly Enlightened Ones, if there is no reason, will not smile without cause. I wish to hear its meaning.' At that time, the World-Honored One said, 'Ananda! In the past, in this Misala Palm Grove, there was a king named Great Deva, a Wheel-Turning King, intelligent and wise, possessing four kinds of armies, ruling the world, self-governing, ruling according to the Dharma, possessing the seven treasures, and obtaining the four wish-fulfilling virtues of the people.'
。阿難!彼大天王成就七寶,為何謂耶?謂輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,是謂為七。
「阿難!彼大天王云何名為成就輪寶?阿難!時,大天王于月十五日說從解脫時,沐浴澡洗,升正殿上,有天輪寶從東方來,輪有千輻,一切具足,清凈自然,非人所造,色如火㷿,光明昱爍。大天王見已,歡喜踴躍,心自唸曰:『生賢輪寶,生妙輪寶,我亦曾從古人聞之,若頂生剎利王于月十五日說從解脫時,沐浴澡洗,升正殿上,有天輪寶從東方來,輪有千輻,一切具足,清凈自然,非人所造,色如火㷿,光明昱爍,彼必當作轉輪王也。我將無作轉輪王耶?』
「阿難!昔大天王將欲自試天輪寶。時,集四種軍,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,集四種軍已,詣天輪寶所,以左手撫輪,右手轉之,而作是語:『隨天輪寶,隨天輪寶之所轉去。』阿難!彼天輪寶轉已即去,向于東方。時,大天王亦自隨後及四種軍,若天輪寶有所住處,時,大天王即彼止宿及四種軍。於是,東方諸小國王,彼皆來詣大天王所,白曰:『天王!善來。天王!此諸國土極大豐樂,多有人民,盡屬天王,唯愿天王以法教之,我等亦當輔佐天王
阿難!那位大天王擁有七種寶物,它們是什麼呢?分別是輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶和主兵臣寶,這被稱為七寶。 阿難!那位大天王如何被稱為擁有輪寶呢?阿難!當時,大天王在每月十五日,從解脫之日開始,沐浴洗漱,登上正殿,有一件天輪寶從東方而來,輪子有一千個輻條,一切都完備,清凈自然,不是人造的,顏色像火一樣鮮紅,光芒閃耀。大天王看到后,歡喜雀躍,心中自念道:『生出了賢輪寶,生出了妙輪寶,我也曾從古人那裡聽說過,如果頂生剎利王在每月十五日,從解脫之日開始,沐浴洗漱,登上正殿,有一件天輪寶從東方而來,輪子有一千個輻條,一切都完備,清凈自然,不是人造的,顏色像火一樣鮮紅,光芒閃耀,那麼他必定會成為轉輪王。難道我將要成為轉輪王了嗎?』 阿難!過去大天王想要親自測試天輪寶。當時,他集結了四種軍隊,像軍、馬軍、車軍和步軍,集結完四種軍隊后,來到天輪寶所在的地方,用左手撫摸輪子,右手轉動它,並說道:『跟隨天輪寶,跟隨天輪寶所轉去的地方。』阿難!那件天輪寶轉動后就離開了,向東方而去。當時,大天王也跟在後面,以及四種軍隊,如果天輪寶停留在某個地方,當時,大天王就在那裡住宿,以及四種軍隊。於是,東方各個小國的國王,他們都來到大天王這裡,稟告說:『天王!歡迎您的到來。天王!這些國土非常富饒,有很多人民,都屬於天王,只希望天王用正法教導他們,我們也應當輔佐天王。』
Ananda! That great king possesses seven treasures, what are they? They are the wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the householder treasure, and the chief military minister treasure, these are called the seven treasures. Ananda! How is that great king said to possess the wheel treasure? Ananda! At that time, the great king, on the fifteenth day of each month, starting from the day of liberation, bathed and washed, ascended to the main hall, and a heavenly wheel treasure came from the east, the wheel had a thousand spokes, everything was complete, pure and natural, not man-made, its color was like fiery red, and its light shone brightly. When the great king saw it, he was joyful and elated, and thought to himself: 'A virtuous wheel treasure has been born, a wonderful wheel treasure has been born, I have also heard from the ancients that if a Kshatriya king born from the top of the head, on the fifteenth day of each month, starting from the day of liberation, bathes and washes, ascends to the main hall, and a heavenly wheel treasure comes from the east, the wheel has a thousand spokes, everything is complete, pure and natural, not man-made, its color is like fiery red, and its light shines brightly, then he will surely become a wheel-turning king. Could it be that I am going to become a wheel-turning king?' Ananda! In the past, the great king wanted to test the heavenly wheel treasure himself. At that time, he gathered four kinds of armies, elephant armies, horse armies, chariot armies, and infantry armies. After gathering the four kinds of armies, he went to the place where the heavenly wheel treasure was, touched the wheel with his left hand, turned it with his right hand, and said: 'Follow the heavenly wheel treasure, follow where the heavenly wheel treasure goes.' Ananda! That heavenly wheel treasure turned and left, heading east. At that time, the great king also followed behind, along with the four kinds of armies. If the heavenly wheel treasure stopped somewhere, then the great king would stay there, along with the four kinds of armies. Then, the kings of the various small countries in the east all came to the great king and reported: 'Great King! Welcome to your arrival. Great King! These lands are very rich and prosperous, with many people, all belonging to the Great King. We only hope that the Great King will teach them with the righteous Dharma, and we shall also assist the Great King.'

At that moment, Lord Sakra, as quickly as a strong man extends and retracts his arm, suddenly disappeared from the Thirty-three Heavens and arrived at King Nimi's palace. Then, King Nimi saw Lord Sakra, and having seen him, asked: 'Who are you?' Lord Sakra replied: 'Great King! Have you heard of Lord Sakra?' King Nimi replied: 'I have heard of Sakra.' Lord Sakra said: 'I am he. Great King, you have great blessings and great merits. Why is this?

現代漢語譯本:這是為什麼呢?因為最後一位國王名叫尼彌,他是一位如法奉行的法王,他的行為符合正法。他讓太子、后妃、宮女以及所有臣民、沙門、婆羅門,甚至昆蟲,都遵守齋戒。每月初八、十四、十五日,他都修行佈施,將食物、衣服、車乘、花環、散花、涂香、房屋、床鋪、毛毯、絲織品、僕役和明燈佈施給貧困的沙門、婆羅門、窮人、孤獨者以及遠道而來的乞討者。』大王!您想看看三十三天嗎?』尼彌王回答說:『想看。』帝釋又告訴尼彌王說:『我將返回天上,會命令準備好千象車來迎接您,大王可以乘坐這輛車,娛樂嬉戲,升到天上。』當時,尼彌王默許了天帝釋的邀請。 於是,帝釋知道尼彌王默許之後,就像力士屈伸手臂一樣,在尼彌王的宮殿中忽然消失不見,已經返回到三十三天。帝釋到達后,告訴御者說:『你快點準備好千象車,去迎接尼彌王。到達后,稟告說:「大王!請知曉,天帝釋派遣這輛千象車來迎接您,您可以乘坐這輛車,娛樂嬉戲,升到天上。」』國王上車后,御者又稟告國王說:『您想讓我從哪條路送您?是從惡報之路,還是從善報之路呢?』 於是,御者接受了帝釋的命令后,立即準備好千象車,前往尼彌王所在的地方。到達后,稟告說:『大王!請知曉,帝釋派遣這輛千象車來迎接您,您可以乘坐這輛車,娛樂嬉戲,升到天上。』當時,尼彌王登上車后,御者又稟告國王說:『您想讓我從哪條路送您?是從惡報之路,還是從善報之路呢?』當時,尼彌王告訴御者說:『你從兩條道路的中間送我,惡報之路和善報之路。』
English version: Why is that? Because the last king was named Nimi, a righteous king who acted in accordance with the Dharma. He had the crown prince, consorts, palace women, and all his ministers, as well as the ascetics, Brahmins, and even insects, observe the fast. On the eighth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of each month, he practiced giving, bestowing food, clothing, carriages, garlands, scattered flowers, perfumes, houses, beds, blankets, silk fabrics, servants, and lamps to the impoverished ascetics, Brahmins, the poor, the lonely, and those who came from afar to beg. 'Great King! Do you wish to see the Thirty-three Heavens?' Nimi replied, 'I wish to see it.' Indra then told King Nimi, 'I shall return to the heavens and order a thousand-elephant chariot to come and fetch you. Great King, you may ride in this chariot, enjoy yourself, and ascend to the heavens.' At that time, King Nimi silently accepted the invitation of the heavenly Indra. Then, Indra, knowing that King Nimi had silently accepted, vanished from King Nimi's palace as quickly as a strong man extends and retracts his arm, and returned to the Thirty-three Heavens. Upon arriving, Indra told the charioteer, 'Quickly prepare the thousand-elephant chariot and go to welcome King Nimi. Upon arrival, announce, "Great King! Know that the heavenly Indra has sent this thousand-elephant chariot to welcome you. You may ride in this chariot, enjoy yourself, and ascend to the heavens."' After the king boarded the chariot, the charioteer again announced to the king, 'Which path do you wish me to take you? The path of evil retribution or the path of good retribution?' Then, the charioteer, having received Indra's instructions, immediately prepared the thousand-elephant chariot and went to where King Nimi was. Upon arrival, he announced, 'Great King! Know that Indra has sent this thousand-elephant chariot to welcome you. You may ride in this chariot, enjoy yourself, and ascend to the heavens.' At that time, after King Nimi boarded the chariot, the charioteer again announced to the king, 'Which path do you wish me to take you? The path of evil retribution or the path of good retribution?' At that time, King Nimi told the charioteer, 'Take me between the two paths, the path of evil retribution and the path of good retribution.'
。』於是,御者便於兩道中間送王,惡受惡報,妙受妙報。於是,三十三天遙見尼彌王來,見已稱善:『善來,大王!善來,大王!可與三十三天共住娛樂。』時,尼彌王為三十三天而說頌曰:
「『猶如假借乘, 一時暫求車, 此處亦復然, 謂為他所有。 我還彌薩羅, 當作無量善, 因是生天上, 作福為資糧。』
「阿難!昔大天王者汝謂異人耶?莫作是念,當知即是我也。阿難!我昔從子至子,從孫至孫,從族至族,從我展轉八萬四千轉輪王,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道、學仙人王修行梵行,在此彌薩羅大天㮈林中。阿難!我爾時為自饒益,亦饒益他,饒益多人,愍傷世間,為天、為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂。爾時說法不至究竟,不究竟白凈,不究竟梵行,不究竟梵行訖。爾時不離生老病死、啼哭憂戚,亦未能得脫一切苦。
「阿難!我今出世,如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐。我今為自饒益,亦饒益他,饒益多人,愍傷世間,為天、為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂。我今說法得至究竟,究竟白凈,究竟梵行,究竟梵行訖,我今得離生老病死,啼哭憂戚,我今已得脫一切苦
現代漢語譯本:於是,駕車的人就在兩條道路中間送國王,作惡的受惡報,行善的得善報。這時,三十三天遠遠地看見尼彌王來了,看見后都稱讚說:『歡迎,大王!歡迎,大王!可以和我們三十三天一起居住享樂。』當時,尼彌王為三十三天說了偈頌: 『猶如借來的車乘,一時暫時求用,這裡也是這樣,認為是屬於別人的。我還要回到彌薩羅,去做無量的善事,因此而生到天上,以福德作為資糧。』 『阿難!以前的大天王者,你認為他是別人嗎?不要這樣想,應當知道就是我。阿難!我以前從兒子到兒子,從孫子到孫子,從家族到家族,從我輾轉做了八萬四千個轉輪王,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,至誠地捨棄家庭,出家,學道,像仙人王一樣修行梵行,就在這彌薩羅大天㮈林中。阿難!我那時爲了自己利益,也爲了利益他人,利益很多人,憐憫世間,為天人和人尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。那時說法沒有達到究竟,沒有達到究竟的清凈,沒有達到究竟的梵行,沒有達到究竟的梵行結束。那時沒有脫離生老病死、啼哭憂愁,也沒有能夠脫離一切痛苦。 『阿難!我現在出世,成為如來、無所著、等正覺、明行圓滿、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊。我現在爲了自己利益,也爲了利益他人,利益很多人,憐憫世間,為天人和人尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。我現在說法達到究竟,達到究竟的清凈,達到究竟的梵行,達到究竟的梵行結束,我現在已經脫離生老病死,啼哭憂愁,我現在已經脫離一切痛苦。』
English version: Then, the charioteer escorted the king between the two paths, the evil receiving evil retribution, and the good receiving good retribution. Then, the Thirty-three Heavens saw King Nimi coming from afar, and upon seeing him, they praised him, saying: 'Welcome, Great King! Welcome, Great King! You may dwell and enjoy with the Thirty-three Heavens.' At that time, King Nimi spoke a verse for the Thirty-three Heavens: 'Like a borrowed vehicle, one temporarily seeks a carriage, it is the same here, considered to belong to another. I shall return to Misala, and perform immeasurable good deeds, and thus be born in heaven, using merit as my provision.' 'Ananda! Do you think that the former Great Heavenly King was someone else? Do not think so, you should know that it was me. Ananda! In the past, from son to son, from grandson to grandson, from clan to clan, from me, I have been through eighty-four thousand wheel-turning kings, shaved my head and beard, put on the monastic robe, sincerely renounced my home, left home, studied the Way, like a sage king practiced pure conduct, in this great Misala palm grove. Ananda! At that time, I was for my own benefit, also for the benefit of others, for the benefit of many, having compassion for the world, seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness. At that time, the Dharma was not brought to its ultimate end, not to ultimate purity, not to ultimate pure conduct, not to the end of ultimate pure conduct. At that time, I did not escape birth, old age, sickness, death, weeping, and sorrow, nor was I able to escape all suffering.' 'Ananda! Now I have come into the world, as the Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Fully Enlightened One, perfect in knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Guide of Men, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, called Buddha, the Blessed One. Now I am for my own benefit, also for the benefit of others, for the benefit of many, having compassion for the world, seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness. Now my Dharma has reached its ultimate end, reached ultimate purity, reached ultimate pure conduct, reached the end of ultimate pure conduct, now I have escaped birth, old age, sickness, death, weeping, and sorrow, now I have escaped all suffering.'
「阿難!我今為汝轉相繼法,汝亦當復轉相繼法,莫令佛種斷。阿難!云何我今為汝轉相繼法,汝亦當復轉相繼法,莫令佛種斷?謂八支聖道,正見乃至正定為八。阿難!是謂我今為汝轉相繼法,汝亦當復轉相繼法,莫令佛種斷。」
大天㮈林經第三竟(四千七百三十九字)
(六八)中阿含王相應品大善見王經第四(第二小土城誦)
一時,佛游拘尸城,住和跋單力士娑羅林中。
爾時,世尊最後欲取般涅槃時,告曰:「阿難!汝往至雙娑羅樹間,可為如來北首敷床,如來中夜當般涅槃。」
尊者阿難受如來教,即詣雙樹,于雙樹間而為如來北首敷床。敷床已訖,還詣佛所,稽首禮足,卻住一面,白曰:「世尊!已為如來於雙樹間北首敷床,唯愿世尊自當知時。」於是,世尊將尊者阿難至雙樹間,四疊郁多羅僧以敷床上,襞僧伽梨作枕,右脅而臥,足足相累,最後欲取般涅槃。
時,尊者阿難執拂侍佛,尊者阿難叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!更有餘大城,一名瞻波,二名舍衛,三名鞞舍離,四名王舍城,五名波羅㮈,六名加維羅衛
『阿難!我現在為你傳授相繼的法,你也應當繼續傳授相繼的法,不要讓佛種斷絕。阿難!我如何為你傳授相繼的法,你也應當繼續傳授相繼的法,不要讓佛種斷絕呢?那就是八支聖道,即正見乃至正定這八項。阿難!這就是我現在為你傳授相繼的法,你也應當繼續傳授相繼的法,不要讓佛種斷絕。』 佛陀如此說道。尊者阿難及眾比丘,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 大天㮈林經第三完(四千七百三十九字) (六八)中阿含王相應品大善見王經第四(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在拘尸城游化,住在和跋單力士娑羅林中。 當時,世尊最後將要進入涅槃時,告訴阿難:『阿難!你到雙娑羅樹之間,為如來鋪設一個頭朝北的床,如來將在半夜進入涅槃。』 尊者阿難接受如來的教導,立即前往雙樹,在雙樹之間為如來鋪設了一個頭朝北的床。鋪設好床后,回到佛陀那裡,稽首禮足,退到一旁,稟告說:『世尊!已經為如來在雙樹之間鋪設了頭朝北的床,唯愿世尊自己知道時機。』於是,世尊帶領尊者阿難來到雙樹之間,將四層郁多羅僧鋪在床上,把僧伽梨摺疊成枕頭,右脅而臥,雙腳相疊,最後將要進入涅槃。 當時,尊者阿難拿著拂塵侍奉佛陀,尊者阿難合掌向佛陀,稟告說:『世尊!還有其他大城,一個叫瞻波,第二個叫舍衛,第三個叫鞞舍離,第四個叫王舍城,第五個叫波羅㮈,第六個叫加維羅衛』
'Ananda! I now transmit to you the Dharma of succession, and you should also continue to transmit the Dharma of succession, lest the Buddha's seed be cut off. Ananda! How do I now transmit to you the Dharma of succession, and you should also continue to transmit the Dharma of succession, lest the Buddha's seed be cut off? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely, right view to right concentration, these eight. Ananda! This is what I now transmit to you as the Dharma of succession, and you should also continue to transmit the Dharma of succession, lest the Buddha's seed be cut off.' The Buddha spoke thus. Venerable Ananda and the monks, hearing what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The Great Heaven's Forest Sutra, the third, is complete (4,739 words). (68) The Fourth Sutra of the Great Good Vision King in the King's Corresponding Section of the Middle Agama (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Kushinagar, staying in the Sala Grove of the Vajra-wielding Mallas. At that time, when the World Honored One was about to enter Parinirvana, he said to Ananda: 'Ananda! Go to the space between the twin Sala trees and prepare a bed for the Tathagata with its head facing north, for the Tathagata will enter Parinirvana in the middle of the night.' Venerable Ananda, receiving the Buddha's instruction, immediately went to the twin trees and prepared a bed for the Tathagata with its head facing north between the twin trees. Having prepared the bed, he returned to the Buddha, bowed his head to his feet, and stood to one side, reporting: 'World Honored One! A bed has been prepared for the Tathagata with its head facing north between the twin trees, may the World Honored One know the time.' Then, the World Honored One led Venerable Ananda to the space between the twin trees, spread four layers of the Uttarasanga on the bed, folded the Sanghati into a pillow, and lay down on his right side, with his feet overlapping, about to enter Parinirvana. At that time, Venerable Ananda, holding a whisk, attended to the Buddha. Venerable Ananda, with his palms together, addressed the Buddha, saying: 'World Honored One! There are other great cities, one named Champa, the second named Shravasti, the third named Vaishali, the fourth named Rajagriha, the fifth named Varanasi, and the sixth named Kapilavastu.'
。世尊不于彼般涅槃,何故正在此小土城,諸城之中此最為下?」
是時,世尊告曰:「阿難!汝莫說此為小土城,諸城之中此最為下。所以者何?乃過去時,此拘尸城名拘尸王城,極大豐樂,多有人民。阿難!拘尸王城長十二由延,廣七由延。阿難!造立樓櫓,高如一人,或二、三、四,至高七人。阿難!拘尸王城于外周匝有塹七重,其塹則以四寶磚壘金、銀、琉璃及水精,其底布以四種寶沙金、銀、琉璃及水精。阿難!拘尸王城周匝外有垣墻七重,其墻亦以四寶磚壘金、銀、琉璃及水精。阿難!拘尸王城周匝七重,行四寶多羅樹金、銀、琉璃及水精,金多羅樹銀葉華實,銀多羅樹金葉華實,琉璃多羅樹水精葉華實,水精多羅樹琉璃葉華實。

'這時,世尊告訴阿難:『阿難,你不要說這是小土城,是所有城市中最差的。這是為什麼呢?因為在過去的時候,這個拘尸城叫做拘尸王城,非常巨大繁榮,人口眾多。阿難,拘尸王城長十二由延,寬七由延。阿難,建造的樓櫓,高如一人,或者二、三、四人,最高達到七人。阿難,拘尸王城外圍有七重護城河,護城河用四寶磚壘砌而成,分別是金、銀、琉璃和水晶,底部鋪著四種寶沙,分別是金、銀、琉璃和水晶。阿難,拘尸王城外圍有七重城墻,城墻也是用四寶磚壘砌而成,分別是金、銀、琉璃和水晶。阿難,拘尸王城外圍有七重,種植著四寶多羅樹,分別是金、銀、琉璃和水晶,金多羅樹有銀葉和果實,銀多羅樹有金葉和果實,琉璃多羅樹有水晶葉和果實,水晶多羅樹有琉璃葉和果實。' '阿難,那些多羅樹之間建有各種各樣的花池,有青蓮花池,紅蓮、赤蓮、白蓮花池。阿難,那些花池的岸邊用四寶磚壘砌而成,分別是金、銀、琉璃和水晶,底部鋪著四種寶沙,分別是金、銀、琉璃和水晶。阿難,那些池塘里有四寶臺階,分別是金、銀、琉璃和水晶,金臺階配銀蹬,銀臺階配金蹬,琉璃臺階配水晶蹬,水晶臺階配琉璃蹬。阿難,那些池塘周圍有四寶欄桿,分別是金、銀、琉璃和水晶,金欄桿配銀鉤,銀欄桿配金鉤,琉璃欄桿配水晶鉤,水晶欄桿配琉璃鉤。'
English version: 'The World-Honored One is not entering Parinirvana there, why is it precisely in this small earthen city, which is the worst among all cities?' 'At that time, the World-Honored One said to Ananda: 『Ananda, do not say that this is a small earthen city, the worst among all cities. Why is that? Because in the past, this city of Kushinagar was called the city of King Kusha, it was extremely large and prosperous, with many people. Ananda, the city of King Kusha was twelve yojanas long and seven yojanas wide. Ananda, the watchtowers that were built were as tall as one person, or two, three, or four, up to seven people high.

。云何成就七寶,得人四種如意之德?如前所說七寶、四種人如意之德。阿難!於是,拘尸王城梵志、居士,多取珠寶、鉗婆羅寶,載詣大善見王,白曰:『天王!此多珠寶、鉗婆羅寶,天王當爲見慈愍故,愿垂納受。』大善見王告梵志、居士曰:『卿等送獻,我所不須,吾亦自有。』
「阿難!復有八萬四千諸小國王詣大善見王,白曰:『天王!我等欲為天王作殿。』大善見王告諸小王:『卿等欲為我作正殿,我所不須,自有正殿。』八萬四千諸小國王皆叉手向,再三白曰:『天王!我等欲為天王作殿,我等欲為天王作殿。』於是,大善見王為八萬四千諸小王故,默然而聽。爾時,八萬四千諸小國王知大善見王默然聽已,拜謁辭退,繞三匝而去,各還本國,以八萬四千車載金自重,並及其錢作以不作,復以一一珠寶之柱載往拘尸城,去城不遠,作大正殿。

Ananda! Again, eighty-four thousand small kings came to King Mahasudassana, reporting: 'Your Majesty! We wish to build a palace for Your Majesty.'

The eighty-four thousand small kings all put their palms together and reported again and again: 'Your Majesty! We wish to build a palace for Your Majesty, we wish to build a palace for Your Majesty.' Thereupon, King Mahasudassana, for the sake of these eighty-four thousand small kings, silently agreed. At that time, the eighty-four thousand small kings, knowing that King Mahasudassana had silently agreed, bowed and retreated, walked around him three times and left, each returning to their own country, using eighty-four thousand carts to carry gold, and using this gold to make various utensils, and also using each cart to carry jeweled pillars, transporting them to the city of Kushinagara, and not far from the city, they built a great palace.

English version: King Mahāsudarśana, having heard this, said to his attendant: 『You quickly go down from the palace, and in the open ground, quickly spread out a golden bed, and when finished, return and inform me.』 The attendant, receiving the command, immediately went down from the palace, and in the open ground, quickly spread out the golden bed, and then returned and reported: 『The golden bed has been spread out for the King in the open ground, according to the King』s wishes.』 Ananda! King Mahāsudarśana then came down from the palace with his attendant, ascended the golden bed, and sat in the lotus position. Ananda! At that time, eighty-four thousand consorts and the Jewel Woman all came together before King Mahāsudarśana. Ananda! King Mahāsudarśana, seeing the eighty-four thousand consorts and the Jewel Woman from afar, having seen them, then closed off all his senses. Thereupon, the eighty-four thousand consorts and the Jewel Woman, seeing the King had closed off his senses, thought: 『The King now certainly does not need us. Why is that? The King just saw us, and then closed off his senses.』 Ananda! At this time, the Jewel Woman then went forward to King Mahāsudarśana, and having arrived, reported: 『O King! Know that these eighty-four thousand consorts and the Jewel Woman are all possessions of the King, we only wish that the King will always remember us, until the end of our lives. Eighty-four thousand elephants, eighty-four thousand horses, eighty-four thousand chariots, eighty-four thousand foot soldiers, eighty-four thousand petty kings, are all possessions of the King, we only wish that the King will always remember us, until the end of our lives.』 At that time, King Mahāsudarśana, having heard these words, said to the Jewel Woman: 『Sister! You have for a long time taught me to do evil, not allowing me to practice compassion. Sister! From now on, you should teach me to practice compassion, and not allow me to do evil.』 Ananda! The eighty-four thousand consorts and the Jewel Woman retreated to one side, weeping and grieving, and said these words: 『We are not the King』s sisters, and yet today the King calls us sisters.』

『Ananda! Those eighty-four thousand consorts and female treasures each wiped away their tears with their garments, and then went to King Mahasudassana. Having arrived, they said: 『Your Majesty! How should we teach Your Majesty to practice loving-kindness and not do evil?』 King Mahasudassana replied: 『My dear sisters! You should say to me like this: 「Your Majesty, do you know? Human life is short, and one must face the next life. One should practice the holy life. There is no birth without death. Your Majesty! You should know that death will surely come. It is not lovely or desirable. It destroys all the world and is called death. Therefore, Your Majesty, if you have any thoughts or desires for the eighty-four thousand consorts and female treasures, may Your Majesty completely cut them off and abandon them, and never think of them again. For the eighty-four thousand elephants, eighty-four thousand horses, eighty-four thousand chariots, eighty-four thousand foot soldiers, and eighty-four thousand petty kings, if Your Majesty has any desires or thoughts, may Your Majesty completely cut them off and abandon them, and never think of them again.」 My dear sisters, you should teach me to practice loving-kindness in this way, so that I do not do evil.』 『Ananda! Those eighty-four thousand consorts and female treasures said: 『Your Majesty! From now on, we shall teach Your Majesty to practice loving-kindness and not do evil. Your Majesty! Human life is short, and one must face the next life. That death will surely come. It is not lovely or desirable. It destroys all the world and is called death.

The fourth section of the 'Mahasudassana Sutta' concludes (4,615 words). The fourteenth scroll of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' (9,354 words) (Second recitation at Small Earth City). The fifteenth scroll of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' (69) The fifth sutra of the thirtieth simile in the 'Raja Samyukta Vagga' of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' (Second recitation at Small Earth City). At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Rajagriha, residing in the Bamboo Grove, Kalandaka's Garden, together with a large assembly of monks, observing the summer retreat. Then, on the fifteenth day, when the Blessed One was speaking about the time of liberation, he sat down on a seat prepared before the assembly of monks. Having sat down, the Blessed One entered into meditative concentration, observing the minds of the monks. Thereupon, the Blessed One saw that the assembly of monks was very silent, extremely silent, without any drowsiness, because they had removed the hindrances. The monks were sitting in a very deep, extremely deep state, in a state of great tranquility and subtlety. At that time, the venerable Sariputra was also in the assembly. Then, the Blessed One said to him, 'Sariputra! The assembly of monks is very silent, extremely silent, without any drowsiness, because they have removed the hindrances. The monks are sitting in a very deep, extremely deep state, in a state of great tranquility and subtlety. Sariputra! Who is able to respect and serve this assembly of monks?' Then, the venerable Sariputra immediately rose from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, and with his hands folded towards the Buddha, said, 'Blessed One! This assembly of monks is very silent, extremely silent, without any drowsiness, because they have removed the hindrances. The monks are sitting in a very deep, extremely deep state, in a state of great tranquility and subtlety. Blessed One!

現代漢語譯本:舍利子!如果比丘、比丘尼成就了以不動心解脫為名的珍寶,便能捨棄惡行,修習善行。舍利子!就像國王和大臣沐浴后,用好香塗抹身體,身體極其清凈一樣。舍利子!同樣,比丘、比丘尼以自我觀察自己的心為身體的清凈。舍利子!如果比丘、比丘尼成就了自我觀察自己的心為身體清凈,便能敬重奉事世尊、佛法、比丘僧團、戒律、不放逸、佈施和禪定。 佛陀如是說。尊者舍利子和眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《三十喻經》第五完(二千三百八十八字) (七〇)《中阿含經·王相應品·轉輪王經》第六(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在摩兜麗剎利,位於㮈林駛河岸。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『諸位比丘!應當以自己為法燈,以自己為皈依,不要以其他為燈,不要皈依其他。諸位比丘!如果以自己為法燈,以自己為皈依,不以其他為燈,不皈依其他,便能求學得利,獲得無量福報。為什麼呢?比丘們!過去有一位國王名叫堅念,是轉輪王,聰明智慧,擁有四種軍隊統治天下,由自己做主,如法治國,成就七寶,得到人們四種如意的德行。如何成就七寶,得到人們四種如意的德行呢?就像前面所說的成就七寶,得到人們四種如意的德行一樣。 『於是,堅念王在後來,天輪寶移動,忽然離開了原來的位置。有人看見了,去稟告堅念王說:『天王!您應該知道天輪寶已經離開了原來的位置。』堅念王聽了,告訴太子說:『太子!我的天輪寶已經離開了原來的位置』
English version: 'Sariputta, if a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni achieves the jewel called the unshakeable liberation of mind, they can abandon evil and cultivate good. Sariputta, just as a king and his ministers bathe and anoint their bodies with fragrant oils, making their bodies extremely pure, so too, Sariputta, a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni who observes their own mind makes their body pure. Sariputta, if a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni achieves the purity of body through observing their own mind, they will be able to respect and serve the Blessed One, the Dharma, the Sangha, the precepts, diligence, generosity, and meditation.' Thus spoke the Buddha. Venerable Sariputta and the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The Thirtieth Simile Sutta, the fifth, is complete (2,388 words). (70) The Middle Length Discourses, King's Chapter, The Wheel-Turning Monarch Sutta, the sixth (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Matula, on the bank of the Narayana River in the Bamboo Grove. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, 'Bhikkhus, be your own lamp, your own refuge, do not seek refuge in others. Bhikkhus, if you are your own lamp, your own refuge, not seeking refuge in others, you will be able to learn and gain benefit, and obtain immeasurable merit. Why is that? Bhikkhus, in the past there was a king named Kyanian, a wheel-turning monarch, intelligent and wise, who had four kinds of armies to rule the world, governing as he pleased, a righteous king, who possessed the seven treasures and obtained the four virtues of the people. How did he obtain the seven treasures and the four virtues of the people? As previously described, he obtained the seven treasures and the four virtues of the people.' 'Then, later, King Kyanian's celestial wheel treasure moved and suddenly left its original place. Someone saw it and went to King Kyanian and said, 'Your Majesty, you should know that the celestial wheel treasure has left its original place.' King Kyanian, having heard this, said to the prince, 'Prince, my celestial wheel treasure has left its original place.'
。太子!我自曾從古人聞之,若轉輪王天輪寶移離本處者,彼王必不久住,命不久存。太子!我已得人間之慾,今當復求于天上欲。太子,我欲剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道。太子!我今以此四天下付授于汝,汝當如法治化,莫以非法,無令國中有諸惡業、非梵行人。太子!汝后若見天輪寶移離本處者,汝亦當復以此國政授汝太子,善教敕之。授太子國已,汝亦當復剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道於是。』堅念王授太子國,善教敕已,便剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道。
「時,堅念王出家學道七日之後,彼天輪寶即沒不現,失天輪已,剎利頂生王便大憂惱,愁戚不樂,剎利頂生王即詣父堅念王仙人所。到已,白曰:『天王!當知天王學道七日之後,彼天輪寶便沒不現。』父堅念王仙人告子剎利頂生王曰:『汝莫以失天輪寶故而懷憂戚。所以者何?汝不從父得此天輪。』剎利頂生王復白父曰:『天王!我今當何所為?』
「父堅念王仙人告其子曰:『汝當應學相繼之法,汝若學相繼之法者,於十五日說從解脫時,沐浴澡洗,升正殿已,彼天輪寶必從東方來,輪有千輻,一切具足,清凈自然,非人所造,色如火㷿,光明昱爍
現代漢語譯本:『太子!我曾聽古人說過,如果轉輪王的象徵天輪寶離開了原來的位置,那麼這位國王必定不久於世,壽命不長。太子!我已經得到了人間的慾望,現在應當追求天上的慾望。太子,我打算剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,真心實意地捨棄家庭,離開家園,去學習佛道。太子!我現在把這四天下交給你,你應當依法治理,不要用非法手段,不要讓國家出現各種惡業和非清凈的行為。太子!你以後如果看到天輪寶離開了原來的位置,你也應當把這國家政權交給你的太子,好好教導他。把國家交給太子后,你也應當剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,真心實意地捨棄家庭,離開家園,去學習佛道。』堅念王把國家交給太子,好好教導之後,就剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,真心實意地捨棄家庭,離開家園,去學習佛道。 『當時,堅念王出家學道七天之後,那象徵天輪寶就消失不見了。失去天輪寶后,剎利頂生王非常憂愁煩惱,悶悶不樂。剎利頂生王就去拜見他父親堅念王仙人。到了之後,稟告說:『天王!您要知道,自從您學道七天之後,那象徵天輪寶就消失不見了。』他父親堅念王仙人告訴兒子剎利頂生王說:『你不要因為失去天輪寶而憂愁煩惱。為什麼呢?因為你不是從我這裡得到這個天輪寶的。』剎利頂生王又問父親說:『天王!我現在應該怎麼辦呢?』 他父親堅念王仙人告訴他的兒子說:『你應當學習相繼之法,如果你學習相繼之法,在十五日說從解脫時,沐浴洗漱,登上正殿之後,那象徵天輪寶必定會從東方而來,輪有千輻,一切都完備,清凈自然,不是人造的,顏色像火一樣,光明閃耀。』
English version: 'Prince! I have heard from the ancients that if the celestial wheel treasure of a Chakravartin King moves from its original place, that king will surely not live long, his life will not be long. Prince! I have already obtained the desires of the human world, and now I should seek the desires of the heavens. Prince, I intend to shave my head and beard, put on the kasaya robe, sincerely renounce my family, leave my home, and study the Way. Prince! I now entrust these four continents to you, you should govern according to the law, do not use illegal means, and do not let the country have various evil deeds and non-pure practices. Prince! If you later see the celestial wheel treasure move from its original place, you should also entrust the national power to your prince, and teach him well. After entrusting the country to the prince, you should also shave your head and beard, put on the kasaya robe, sincerely renounce your family, leave your home, and study the Way.' King Firm Thought entrusted the country to the prince, taught him well, then shaved his head and beard, put on the kasaya robe, sincerely renounced his family, left his home, and studied the Way. 'At that time, seven days after King Firm Thought left home to study the Way, that celestial wheel treasure disappeared. After losing the celestial wheel, King Kshatriya Born-from-the-Head was very worried and distressed, and was unhappy. King Kshatriya Born-from-the-Head then went to see his father, the sage King Firm Thought. After arriving, he reported: 'Your Majesty! You should know that seven days after you began studying the Way, that celestial wheel treasure disappeared.' His father, the sage King Firm Thought, told his son, King Kshatriya Born-from-the-Head: 'You should not be worried and distressed because of the loss of the celestial wheel treasure. Why? Because you did not obtain this celestial wheel from me.' King Kshatriya Born-from-the-Head then asked his father: 'Your Majesty! What should I do now?' 'His father, the sage King Firm Thought, told his son: 'You should learn the law of succession. If you learn the law of succession, on the fifteenth day when it is said to be the time of liberation, after bathing and washing, and ascending to the main hall, that celestial wheel treasure will surely come from the east, the wheel will have a thousand spokes, all complete, pure and natural, not made by humans, its color will be like fire, and it will shine brightly.'

「父堅念王仙人復告子曰:『汝當觀法如法,行法如法,當爲太子、后妃、婇女,及諸臣民、沙門、梵志,乃至蜫蟲奉持法齋,月八日、十四日、十五日修行佈施,施諸窮乏沙門、梵志、貧窮、孤獨、遠來乞者,以飲食、衣被、車乘、華鬘、散華、涂香、屋舍、床褥、氍[毯-炎+數]、綩綖、給使、明燈。若汝國中有上尊、名德、沙門、梵志者,汝當隨時往詣彼所,問法受法:「諸尊!何者善法?何者不善法?何者為罪?何者為福?何者為妙?何者非妙?何者為黑?何者為白?黑白之法從何而生?何者現世義?何者後世義?云何作行受善不受惡?」從彼聞已,行如所說。若汝國中有貧窮者,當出財物,以給恤之。子!是謂相繼之法,汝當善學。汝善學已,於十五日說從解脫時,沐浴澡洗,升正殿已,彼天輪寶必從東方來,輪有千輻,一切具足,清凈自然,非人所造,色如火焰,光明昱爍
現代漢語譯本:剎利頂生王又對他的父親說:『天王!您想讓我學習怎樣的相繼之法?如果我學會了,在每月十五日宣佈解脫時,沐浴洗漱,登上正殿後,那件天輪寶就會從東方出現,輪子有一千個輪輻,一切都完備,清凈自然,不是人造的,顏色像火焰一樣,光芒閃耀。』 父親堅念王仙人又告訴他的兒子說:『你應當觀察法,如法而行,應當為太子、后妃、宮女,以及所有臣民、沙門、婆羅門,乃至昆蟲奉持齋戒,在每月的初八、十四、十五日修行佈施,施捨給那些貧困的沙門、婆羅門、窮人、孤獨的人、遠道而來的乞討者,用飲食、衣服、車乘、花環、散花、涂香、房屋、床鋪、毛毯、絲織品、僕人、明燈。如果你的國家有德高望重、名聲顯赫的沙門、婆羅門,你應當隨時去拜訪他們,請教佛法:「諸位尊者!什麼是善法?什麼是不善法?什麼是罪?什麼是福?什麼是妙?什麼是非妙?什麼是黑?什麼是白?黑白之法從何而來?什麼是現世的利益?什麼是來世的利益?怎樣做才能行善而不受惡?」從他們那裡聽聞后,就按照他們所說的去做。如果你的國家有貧窮的人,應當拿出財物來救濟他們。孩子!這就是相繼之法,你應當好好學習。你好好學習之後,在每月十五日宣佈解脫時,沐浴洗漱,登上正殿後,那件天輪寶必定會從東方出現,輪子有一千個輪輻,一切都完備,清凈自然,不是人造的,顏色像火焰一樣,光芒閃耀。』
English version: King Kshatriya Murdhabhishikta then said to his father, 'O King! What kind of succession law do you wish me to learn? If I learn it, on the fifteenth day when proclaiming liberation, after bathing and washing, and ascending the main hall, that celestial wheel treasure will come from the east. The wheel has a thousand spokes, is complete in every way, pure and natural, not made by humans, its color like a flame, and its light shining brightly.' The father, King Dridhanemi, the ascetic, then told his son, 'You should observe the Dharma, practice the Dharma accordingly, and should, for the sake of the crown prince, consorts, palace women, and all subjects, monks, Brahmins, and even insects, observe the fast. On the eighth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of each month, practice giving, giving to the poor monks, Brahmins, the destitute, the lonely, and those who come from afar to beg, with food, clothing, vehicles, garlands, scattered flowers, fragrant ointments, houses, beds, blankets, silk fabrics, servants, and lamps. If there are venerable, virtuous, renowned monks or Brahmins in your country, you should visit them at any time, ask about the Dharma, and receive the Dharma: 「Venerable ones! What is good Dharma? What is not good Dharma? What is sin? What is merit? What is wonderful? What is not wonderful? What is black? What is white? From where do the black and white Dharmas arise? What is the benefit in this life? What is the benefit in the next life? How can one act to receive good and not evil?」 Having heard from them, act as they have said. If there are poor people in your country, you should give them wealth to help them. Son! This is the law of succession, you should learn it well. After you have learned it well, on the fifteenth day when proclaiming liberation, after bathing and washing, and ascending the main hall, that celestial wheel treasure will surely come from the east. The wheel has a thousand spokes, is complete in every way, pure and natural, not made by humans, its color like a flame, and its light shining brightly.'
「剎利頂生王便於后時觀法如法,行法如法,而為太子、后妃、婇女及諸臣民、沙門、梵志,乃至蜫蟲奉持法齋,月八日、十四日、十五日修行佈施,施諸窮乏沙門、梵志、貧窮、孤獨、遠來乞者,以飲食、衣被、車乘、華鬘、散華、涂香、屋舍、床褥、氍[毯-炎+數]、綩綖,給使、明燈。若其國中有上尊、名德、沙門、梵志者,便自隨時往詣彼所,問法受法:『諸尊!何者善法?何者不善法?何者為罪?何者為福?何者為妙?何者非妙?何者為黑?何者為白?黑白之法從何而生?何者現世義?何者後世義?云何作行受善不受惡?』從彼聞已,行如所說。若其國中有貧窮者,即出財物,隨時給恤。剎利頂生王於後十五日說從解脫時,沐浴澡洗,升正殿已,彼天輪寶從東方來,輪有千輻,一切具足,清凈自然,非人所造,色如火㷿,光明昱爍,彼亦得轉輪王,亦成就七寶,亦得人四種如意之德。云何成就七寶、得人四種如意之德?亦如前說。
「彼轉輪王而於后時,天輪寶移,忽離本處。有人見之,詣轉輪王白曰:『天王!當知天輪寶移離於本處。』轉輪王聞已,告曰:『太子!我天輪寶移離本處。太子!我曾從父堅念王仙人聞之:若轉輪王天輪寶移離本處者,彼王必不久住,命不久存

『King Kshatriya-born, at a later time, observed the Dharma, practiced the Dharma accordingly, and caused the crown prince, consorts, palace women, all ministers and people, ascetics, Brahmins, and even insects to observe the fast. On the eighth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of each month, he practiced giving, bestowing food, clothing, vehicles, garlands, scattered flowers, perfumes, houses, beds, blankets, silk fabrics, servants, and lamps to the needy ascetics, Brahmins, the poor, the lonely, and those who came from afar to beg. If there were venerable and virtuous ascetics or Brahmins in his kingdom, he would personally visit them, asking about the Dharma: 『Venerable ones! What is good Dharma? What is bad Dharma? What is sin? What is merit? What is beautiful? What is not beautiful? What is black? What is white? From where do the black and white Dharmas arise? What is the benefit in this life? What is the benefit in the next life? How should one practice to receive good and not receive evil?』 Having heard this, he would act accordingly. If there were poor people in his kingdom, he would take out wealth and provide relief at any time. King Kshatriya-born, on the fifteenth day after his liberation, bathed and washed, ascended the main hall, and then the heavenly wheel treasure came from the east. The wheel had a thousand spokes, was complete in every way, pure and natural, not made by humans, its color like fire, its light shining brightly. He also became a wheel-turning king, achieved the seven treasures, and obtained the four kinds of wish-fulfilling virtues of a human. How did he achieve the seven treasures and obtain the four kinds of wish-fulfilling virtues of a human? It was as described before.』 『This wheel-turning king, at a later time, had his heavenly wheel treasure move and suddenly leave its original place. Someone saw it and went to report to the wheel-turning king, saying: 『Great King! Please know that the heavenly wheel treasure has moved and left its original place.』 Upon hearing this, the wheel-turning king told the crown prince: 『Crown Prince! My heavenly wheel treasure has moved and left its original place. Crown Prince! I once heard from my father, the sage King Firm-Mind, that if the heavenly wheel treasure of a wheel-turning king leaves its original place, then that king will surely not live long, and his life will not be long.』
。太子!我已得人間之慾,今當復求于天上欲。太子!我欲剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道。太子!我今以此四天下付授于汝,汝當如法治化,莫以非法,無令國中有諸惡業、非梵行人。太子!汝后若見天輪寶移離本處者,汝亦當復以此國政授汝太子,善教敕之。授太子國已,汝亦當復剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道於是。』轉輪王授太子國,善教敕已,便剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道。
「彼轉輪王出家學道七日之後,彼天輪寶即沒不現,失天輪已,剎利頂生王而不憂戚,但染欲著欲,貪慾無厭,為欲所縛,為欲所觸,為欲所使,不見災患,不知出要,便自出意治國,以自出意治國故,國遂衰減,不復增益,猶如昔時諸轉輪王學相繼法,國土人民轉增熾盛,無有衰減。剎利頂生王亦復如是,自出意治國,以自出意治國故,國遂衰減,不復增益。
「於是,國師梵志案行國界,見國人民轉就衰減,不復增益,便作是念:『剎利頂生王自出意治國,以自出意治國故,國土人民轉就衰減,不復增益,猶如昔時諸轉輪王學相繼法,國土人民轉增熾盛,無有衰減。此剎利頂生王亦復如是,自出意治國,以自出意治國故,國土人民轉就衰減,不復增益
現代漢語譯本:『太子!我已經得到了人間的慾望,現在應當再去追求天上的慾望。太子!我想要剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,離開家園,去學習佛道。太子!我現在把這四天下都交給你,你應當依法治理教化,不要用非法手段,不要讓國家裡出現各種惡業和非清凈的行為。太子!你以後如果看到天輪寶離開了原來的位置,你也應當把這個國家政權交給你的太子,好好地教導他。把國家交給太子后,你也應當剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,離開家園,去學習佛道。』轉輪王把國家交給太子,好好教導之後,就剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,離開家園,去學習佛道。 那位轉輪王出家學道七天之後,他的天輪寶就消失不見了。失去了天輪寶后,剎利頂生王並不憂愁悲傷,只是沉溺於慾望,貪得無厭,被慾望束縛,被慾望驅使,看不到災禍,不知道解脫的方法,就自己隨意地治理國家。因為自己隨意治理國家,國家就衰敗減少,不再興盛,不像以前那些轉輪王學習相繼的治國方法,國土人民日益興盛,沒有衰敗。剎利頂生王也是這樣,自己隨意治理國家,因為自己隨意治理國家,國家就衰敗減少,不再興盛。 於是,國師梵志巡視國境,看到國家人民日益衰敗減少,不再興盛,就想:『剎利頂生王自己隨意治理國家,因為自己隨意治理國家,國土人民日益衰敗減少,不再興盛,不像以前那些轉輪王學習相繼的治國方法,國土人民日益興盛,沒有衰敗。這個剎利頂生王也是這樣,自己隨意治理國家,因為自己隨意治理國家,國土人民日益衰敗減少,不再興盛。』
English version: 'Prince! I have already obtained the desires of the human realm, and now I should seek the desires of the heavenly realm. Prince! I wish to shave my head and beard, wear the monastic robe, and with sincere faith, renounce my home, leave my household, and study the Way. Prince! I now entrust these four continents to you. You should govern and teach according to the Dharma, not by unlawful means, and do not allow any evil deeds or unchaste practices to arise in the country. Prince! If you later see the celestial wheel treasure move from its original place, you should also entrust the governance of this country to your prince and teach him well. After entrusting the country to the prince, you should also shave your head and beard, wear the monastic robe, and with sincere faith, renounce your home, leave your household, and study the Way.' After the Wheel-Turning King entrusted the country to the prince and taught him well, he shaved his head and beard, wore the monastic robe, and with sincere faith, renounced his home, left his household, and studied the Way. After that Wheel-Turning King had left home to study the Way for seven days, his celestial wheel treasure disappeared and was no longer visible. Having lost the celestial wheel, the Kṣatriya Crown-Born King did not grieve or worry, but instead indulged in desires, was insatiably greedy, bound by desires, driven by desires, unable to see the dangers, and unaware of the way to liberation. He then governed the country according to his own whims. Because he governed the country according to his own whims, the country declined and diminished, no longer prospering, unlike the former Wheel-Turning Kings who followed the traditional methods of governance, whose lands and people grew increasingly prosperous without decline. The Kṣatriya Crown-Born King was also like this; he governed the country according to his own whims, and because he governed the country according to his own whims, the country declined and diminished, no longer prospering. Then, the royal teacher, the Brahmin, surveyed the borders of the country and saw that the people of the country were declining and diminishing, no longer prospering. He thought: 'The Kṣatriya Crown-Born King is governing the country according to his own whims, and because he is governing the country according to his own whims, the lands and people are declining and diminishing, no longer prospering, unlike the former Wheel-Turning Kings who followed the traditional methods of governance, whose lands and people grew increasingly prosperous without decline. This Kṣatriya Crown-Born King is also like this; he is governing the country according to his own whims, and because he is governing the country according to his own whims, the lands and people are declining and diminishing, no longer prospering.'
「國師梵志即共往詣剎利頂生王,白曰:『天王!當知天王自出意治國,以自出意治國故,國土人民轉就衰減,不復增益,猶如昔時諸轉輪王學相繼法,國土人民轉增熾盛,無有衰減。今天王亦復如是,自出意治國,以自出意治國故,國土人民轉就衰減,不復增益。』剎利頂生王聞已告曰:『梵志!我當云何?』國師梵志白曰:『天王!國中有人聰明智慧,明知算數,國中有大臣眷屬學經明經,誦習受持相繼之法,猶如我等一切眷屬。天王!當學相繼之法。學相繼法已,於十五日說從解脫時,沐浴澡洗,升正殿已,彼天輪寶必從東方來,輪有千輻,一切具足,清凈自然,非人所造,色如火㷿,光明昱爍。』
「剎利頂生王復問曰:『梵志!云何相繼之法欲令我學?令我學已,於十五日說從解脫時,沐浴澡洗,升正殿已,彼天輪寶必從東方來,輪有千輻,一切具足,清凈自然,非人所造,色如火㷿,光明昱爍
國師梵志就一同去拜見剎利頂生王,稟告說:『大王!您應當知道,大王您憑自己的意願治理國家,因為憑自己的意願治理國家,所以國土和人民逐漸衰敗減少,不再增長,就像以前那些轉輪王學習相繼的治國方法,國土和人民逐漸興盛,沒有衰敗減少。現在大王您也是這樣,憑自己的意願治理國家,因為憑自己的意願治理國家,所以國土和人民逐漸衰敗減少,不再增長。』剎利頂生王聽后說道:『梵志!我該怎麼辦呢?』國師梵志稟告說:『大王!國內有聰明智慧的人,精通算術,國內有大臣和家眷學習經典,通曉經典,誦讀並接受相繼的治國方法,就像我們所有的家眷一樣。大王!應當學習相繼的治國方法。學習相繼的治國方法后,在十五日宣說從解脫時,沐浴洗漱,登上正殿後,那件天輪寶必定會從東方而來,輪子有一千個輻條,一切都完備,清凈自然,不是人造的,顏色像火炭,光芒閃耀。』 剎利頂生王又問道:『梵志!什麼樣的相繼治國方法要讓我學習?讓我學習后,在十五日宣說從解脫時,沐浴洗漱,登上正殿後,那件天輪寶必定會從東方而來,輪子有一千個輻條,一切都完備,清凈自然,不是人造的,顏色像火炭,光芒閃耀?』
The royal preceptor, the Brahmin, then went together to see King Kshatriya Top-Born, and reported: 『Your Majesty! You should know that Your Majesty governs the country according to your own will. Because you govern the country according to your own will, the land and the people are gradually declining and decreasing, no longer increasing, just like the former Chakravartin kings who learned the successive methods of governing the country, the land and the people gradually prospered, without decline or decrease. Now Your Majesty is also like this, governing the country according to your own will. Because you govern the country according to your own will, the land and the people are gradually declining and decreasing, no longer increasing.』 King Kshatriya Top-Born, upon hearing this, said: 『Brahmin! What should I do?』 The royal preceptor, the Brahmin, reported: 『Your Majesty! There are intelligent and wise people in the country who are proficient in arithmetic. There are ministers and their families in the country who study the scriptures, understand the scriptures, recite and accept the successive methods of governing the country, just like all of our families. Your Majesty! You should learn the successive methods of governing the country. After learning the successive methods of governing the country, on the fifteenth day, when proclaiming the time of liberation, after bathing and washing, and ascending the main hall, that heavenly wheel treasure will surely come from the east. The wheel has a thousand spokes, all complete, pure and natural, not man-made, its color like burning charcoal, its light shining brightly.』 King Kshatriya Top-Born then asked: 『Brahmin! What kind of successive method of governing the country do you want me to learn? After I learn it, on the fifteenth day, when proclaiming the time of liberation, after bathing and washing, and ascending the main hall, that heavenly wheel treasure will surely come from the east. The wheel has a thousand spokes, all complete, pure and natural, not man-made, its color like burning charcoal, its light shining brightly?』

English version: The royal preceptor, the Brahmin, reported: 『Your Majesty! You should observe the Dharma, act in accordance with the Dharma; you should observe the fast for the sake of the crown prince, the queen, the concubines, and all the ministers, the Shramanas, the Brahmins, and even insects. On the eighth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of each month, practice giving, giving to those impoverished Shramanas, Brahmins, the poor, the lonely, and beggars who come from afar, with food, clothing, vehicles, garlands, scattered flowers, fragrant ointments, houses, beds, blankets, fine mats, as well as servants and lamps. If there are venerable and virtuous Shramanas and Brahmins in the kingdom, you should personally go to them at any time, ask about the Dharma: 『Venerable ones! What is good Dharma? What is not good Dharma? What is sin? What is merit? What is wonderful? What is not wonderful? What is black? What is white? From where do the black and white Dharmas arise? What is the benefit in this life? What is the benefit in the next life? How should one practice to receive good and not receive evil?』 After hearing from them, act as they have said. If there are poor people in the kingdom, you should take out wealth to help them. Your Majesty! This is the law of succession, you should learn it well. After learning it well, on the fifteenth day, when it is said to be the time of liberation, after bathing and washing, and ascending to the main hall, that sacred wheel treasure will surely come from the east, the wheel has a thousand spokes, all complete, pure and natural, not made by humans, its color is like bright fire, its light is shining.』 King Kshatriya Top-Born later observed the Dharma, acted in accordance with the Dharma, and observed the fast for the sake of the crown prince, the queen, the concubines, and all the ministers, the Shramanas, the Brahmins, and even insects. On the eighth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of each month, he practiced giving, giving to those impoverished Shramanas, Brahmins, the poor, the lonely, and beggars who came from afar, with food, clothing, vehicles, garlands, scattered flowers, fragrant ointments, houses, beds, blankets, fine mats, as well as servants and lamps.

「然國中民有貧窮者,不能出物,用給恤之,是為困貧無財物者不能給恤,故人轉窮困,因窮困故,便盜他物;因偷盜故,其主捕伺收縛,送詣剎利頂生王,白曰:『天王!此人盜我物,愿天王治。』剎利頂生王問彼人曰:『汝實盜耶?』彼人白曰:『天王!我實偷盜。所以者何?天王!以貧困故,若不盜者,便無以自濟。』剎利頂生王即出財物而給與之,語盜者曰:『汝等還去,后莫復作。』於是,國中人民聞剎利頂生王若國中人有行盜者,王便出財物而給與之。由斯之故,人作是念:『我等亦應盜他財物。』於是,國人各各競行盜他財物。是為困貧無財物者,不能給恤,故人轉窮困;因窮困故,盜轉滋甚。因盜滋甚故,彼人壽轉減,形色轉惡。彼壽轉減色轉惡已,比丘!父壽八萬歲,子壽四萬歲。比丘!彼人壽四萬歲時,有人便行盜他財物,其主捕伺收縛,送詣剎利頂生王,白曰:『天王!此人盜我物,愿天王治
現代漢語譯本:如果他們的國家有德高望重、聲名顯赫的沙門或婆羅門,他們就會隨時去拜訪他們,請教佛法:『諸位尊者!什麼是善法?什麼是不善法?什麼是罪?什麼是福?什麼是妙?什麼是非妙?什麼是黑?什麼是白?黑白之法從何而來?什麼是現世的利益?什麼是後世的利益?如何修行才能獲得善報而避免惡報?』聽聞之後,就按照他們所說的去做。 現代漢語譯本:然而,如果國家裡有貧窮的人,無法拿出財物來救濟他們,這就是因為貧困無財的人得不到救濟,所以人們變得更加貧困。因為貧困,他們就偷盜別人的財物;因為偷盜,失主就會抓捕他們,送到剎利頂生王那裡,稟告說:『大王!這個人偷了我的東西,請大王懲治他。』剎利頂生王會問那個人:『你真的偷盜了嗎?』那個人會回答說:『大王!我確實偷盜了。原因是什麼呢?大王!因為我貧困,如果不偷盜,就無法養活自己。』剎利頂生王就會拿出財物來給他們,並對偷盜者說:『你們回去吧,以後不要再這樣做了。』於是,全國人民聽說剎利頂生王如果發現有人偷盜,就會拿出財物來給他們。因此,人們就想:『我們也應該去偷別人的財物。』於是,全國人民都爭相偷盜別人的財物。這就是因為貧困無財的人得不到救濟,所以人們變得更加貧困;因為貧困,偷盜行為就更加猖獗。因為偷盜行為更加猖獗,人們的壽命就逐漸減少,容貌也變得醜陋。當他們的壽命減少,容貌變得醜陋時,比丘們!父親的壽命是八萬歲,兒子的壽命是四萬歲。比丘們!當人們的壽命是四萬歲時,有人就會去偷盜別人的財物,失主就會抓捕他們,送到剎利頂生王那裡,稟告說:『大王!這個人偷了我的東西,請大王懲治他。』
English version: If there are respected, renowned ascetics or Brahmins in their country, they would go to them at any time to inquire about the Dharma: 'Venerable ones! What is good Dharma? What is bad Dharma? What is sin? What is merit? What is subtle? What is not subtle? What is black? What is white? From where do black and white Dharma arise? What is the benefit in this life? What is the benefit in the next life? How should one practice to receive good and avoid evil?' Having heard this, they would act accordingly. English version: However, if there are poor people in the country who cannot provide for themselves, it is because the poor and destitute are not being helped, so people become even poorer. Because of poverty, they steal from others; because of stealing, the owners will capture them and send them to King Kshatriya, reporting: 'Your Majesty! This person stole my things, please punish him.' King Kshatriya would ask the person: 'Did you really steal?' The person would reply: 'Your Majesty! I did steal. Why? Your Majesty! Because I am poor, if I don't steal, I cannot support myself.' King Kshatriya would then give them money and say to the thieves: 'Go back, and don't do it again.' Then, the people of the country heard that if King Kshatriya found someone stealing, he would give them money. Therefore, people thought: 'We should also steal from others.' So, the people of the country all competed to steal from others. This is because the poor and destitute are not being helped, so people become even poorer; because of poverty, stealing becomes even more rampant. Because stealing becomes more rampant, people's lifespans gradually decrease, and their appearances become ugly. When their lifespans decrease and their appearances become ugly, monks! The father's lifespan is 80,000 years, and the son's lifespan is 40,000 years. Monks! When people's lifespans are 40,000 years, someone will steal from others, the owner will capture them and send them to King Kshatriya, reporting: 'Your Majesty! This person stole my things, please punish him.'
。』剎利頂生王問彼人曰:『汝實盜耶?』彼人白曰:『天王!我實偷盜。所以者何?以貧困故,若不盜者,便無以自濟。』剎利頂生王聞已,便作是念:『若我國中有盜他物,更出財物盡給與者,如是唐空竭國藏,盜遂滋甚。我今寧可作極利刀,若我國中有偷盜者,便收捕取,坐高標下,斬截其頭。』
「於是,剎利頂生王后便敕令,作極利刀:『若國中有盜他物者,即敕捕取,坐高標下,斬截其頭。』國中人民聞剎利頂生王敕作利刀,若國中有盜他物者,即便捕取,坐高標下,斬截其頭。『我亦寧可效作利刀,持行劫物,若從劫物者,捉彼物主而截其頭。』於是,彼人則於後時效作利刀,持行劫物,捉彼物主,截斷其頭。是為困貧無財物者,不能給恤故,人轉窮困;因窮困故,盜轉滋甚;因盜滋甚故,刀殺轉增。因刀殺增故,彼人壽轉減,形色轉惡。彼壽轉減,色轉惡已,比丘!父壽四萬歲,子壽二萬歲。
「比丘!人壽二萬歲時,有人盜他財物,其主捕伺收縛,送詣剎利頂生王,白曰:『天王!此人盜我財物,愿天王治
現代漢語譯本:剎利頂生王問那個人說:『你真的是小偷嗎?』那個人回答說:『天王!我確實是偷盜。之所以這樣,是因為我貧困,如果我不偷盜,就無法養活自己。』剎利頂生王聽了之後,就想:『如果我國中有偷盜他人財物的人,我就拿出財物全部給他們,這樣只會白白耗盡國庫,盜竊就會更加猖獗。我不如製造一把鋒利的刀,如果我國中有偷盜的人,就抓起來,放在高高的標桿下,斬下他們的頭。』 於是,剎利頂生王后來就下令,製造一把鋒利的刀:『如果國中有偷盜他人財物的人,就立即抓起來,放在高高的標桿下,斬下他們的頭。』國中的人民聽到剎利頂生王下令製造利刀,如果國中有偷盜他人財物的人,就立即抓起來,放在高高的標桿下,斬下他們的頭。『我不如也效仿製造利刀,拿著去搶劫財物,如果有人反抗,就抓住他們,砍下他們的頭。』於是,那個人後來就效仿製造利刀,拿著去搶劫財物,抓住那些反抗的人,砍下他們的頭。這就是因為貧困沒有財物,不能救濟,導致人們更加貧困;因為貧困,盜竊更加猖獗;因為盜竊猖獗,刀殺事件增多。因為刀殺事件增多,人們的壽命減少,容貌也變得醜陋。人們壽命減少,容貌變得醜陋之後,比丘!父親的壽命是四萬歲,兒子的壽命是兩萬歲。 比丘!當人們壽命兩萬歲時,有人偷盜他人財物,失主抓到他,捆綁起來,送到剎利頂生王那裡,稟告說:『天王!這個人偷了我的財物,希望天王懲治他。』
English version: King Ksatriya-murdhabhisikta asked that person, 『Are you really a thief?』 That person replied, 『Your Majesty! I am indeed a thief. The reason for this is that I am poor, and if I do not steal, I will have no way to support myself.』 Upon hearing this, King Ksatriya-murdhabhisikta thought, 『If there are those in my kingdom who steal from others, and I give them all my wealth, it would only deplete the national treasury in vain, and theft would become even more rampant. I might as well make an extremely sharp sword, and if there are thieves in my kingdom, I will capture them, place them under a high standard, and cut off their heads.』 Then, King Ksatriya-murdhabhisikta later ordered the making of an extremely sharp sword: 『If there are those in the kingdom who steal from others, they should be immediately captured, placed under a high standard, and have their heads cut off.』 The people in the kingdom heard that King Ksatriya-murdhabhisikta had ordered the making of a sharp sword, and if there were those in the kingdom who stole from others, they would be immediately captured, placed under a high standard, and have their heads cut off. 『I might as well also imitate making a sharp sword, carry it to rob others, and if anyone resists, I will seize them and cut off their heads.』 Then, that person later imitated making a sharp sword, carried it to rob others, seized those who resisted, and cut off their heads. This is because of poverty and lack of wealth, and the inability to provide relief, which leads to people becoming even poorer; because of poverty, theft becomes more rampant; because theft becomes more rampant, killings with swords increase. Because killings with swords increase, people』s lifespans decrease, and their appearances become uglier. After people』s lifespans decrease and their appearances become uglier, monks! The father』s lifespan is forty thousand years, and the son』s lifespan is twenty thousand years. Monks! When people』s lifespans are twenty thousand years, someone steals another』s property, and the owner catches him, binds him, and sends him to King Ksatriya-murdhabhisikta, reporting, 『Your Majesty! This person has stolen my property, I wish Your Majesty would punish him.』

How can I deceive King Ksatriya-murdhabhisikta with lies?』 Having thought this, he replied, 『Your Majesty! I am not stealing, it is because I am poor and have no possessions, and cannot provide for myself.』 People became even poorer, and because of poverty, theft became more rampant; because theft became more rampant, incidents of killing with knives also increased; because incidents of killing with knives increased, then came false speech and divisive speech.

When people's lifespan is five hundred years, they will not be filial to their parents throughout their lives, they will not respect ascetics and Brahmins, they will not follow teachings, they will not do good deeds, and they will not believe in the consequences of sin in the afterlife.

Monks! When people's lifespan is ten years, it is also like this, if someone commits the ten evil deeds, they will be respected by people. Monks!

「爾時,亦有人生慚恥羞愧,厭惡不愛,彼人七日刀兵劫時,便入山野,在隱處藏,過七日已,則從山野于隱處出,更互相見,生慈愍心,極相愛念。猶如慈母,唯有一子,與久離別,從遠來還,安隱歸家,相見喜歡,生慈愍心,極相愛念。如是彼人過七日後,則從山野于隱處出,更互相見,生慈愍心,極相愛念,共相見已,便作是語:『諸賢!我今相見,今得安隱,我等坐生不善法故,今值見此,親族死盡,我等寧可共行善法。云何當共行善法耶?我等皆是殺生之人,今寧可共離殺、斷殺,我等應共行是善法。』彼便共行如是善法。行善法已,壽便轉增,形色轉好。彼壽轉增,色轉好已,比丘!壽十歲人生子壽二十。比丘!壽二十歲人復作是念:『若求學善者,壽便轉增,形色轉好,我等應共更增行善
比丘們!當人類壽命為十歲時,母親對自己的孩子懷有極大的害心,孩子也對母親懷有極大的害心。父子、兄弟、姐妹、親屬之間,互相懷有賊害之心,就像獵人看到鹿一樣,懷有極大的害心。比丘們!當人類壽命為十歲時也是如此,母親對自己的孩子懷有極大的害心,孩子也對母親懷有極大的害心,父子、兄弟、姐妹、親屬之間,互相懷有賊害之心。比丘們!當人類壽命為十歲時,將會發生七日的刀兵劫,那時如果人們抓住草,草就會變成刀,如果抓住木柴,木柴也會變成刀,人們用這些刀互相殘殺。這七日的刀兵劫過後,就會停止。 那時,也會有人因為感到慚愧羞恥,厭惡這種行為而不喜歡,這些人會在七日刀兵劫時,躲入山野隱蔽之處。七日過後,他們會從山野隱蔽之處出來,再次相見時,會生起慈悲憐憫之心,彼此非常愛護。就像慈愛的母親,只有一個孩子,與他久別重逢,從遠方平安歸來,相見時會非常高興,生起慈悲憐憫之心,非常愛護。這些人七日過後,也會從山野隱蔽之處出來,再次相見時,會生起慈悲憐憫之心,彼此非常愛護。他們相見后,會這樣說:『各位賢者!我們現在相見,能夠平安無事,是因為我們過去做了不善的事情,才導致現在親族死盡。我們寧可一起行善。應該如何一起行善呢?我們都是殺生之人,現在寧可一起遠離殺生、斷絕殺生,我們應該一起行這樣的善法。』他們便一起行這樣的善法。行善法后,壽命便會增長,容貌也會變得更好。當他們壽命增長,容貌變好后,比丘們!壽命十歲的人所生的孩子壽命為二十歲。比丘們!壽命二十歲的人又會這樣想:『如果追求行善,壽命就會增長,容貌也會變得更好,我們應該一起更加努力行善。
Monks! When the lifespan of humans is ten years, a mother harbors extreme ill will towards her child, and the child also harbors extreme ill will towards the mother. Fathers and sons, brothers and sisters, relatives, turn against each other, harboring murderous intent, just as a hunter, upon seeing a deer, harbors extreme ill will. Monks! When the lifespan of humans is ten years, it is also like this: a mother harbors extreme ill will towards her child, and the child also harbors extreme ill will towards the mother. Fathers and sons, brothers and sisters, relatives, turn against each other, harboring murderous intent. Monks! When the lifespan of humans is ten years, there will be a seven-day sword calamity. If people grasp grass, it will turn into a sword; if they grasp firewood, it will also turn into a sword. They will use these swords to kill each other. After the seven-day sword calamity, it will cease. At that time, there will also be people who feel shame and remorse, who detest and dislike this behavior. During the seven-day sword calamity, these people will hide in secluded places in the mountains and wilderness. After seven days, they will emerge from their hiding places in the mountains and wilderness. When they see each other again, they will develop feelings of compassion and love for one another. It will be like a loving mother who has only one child, who has been separated for a long time, and who returns safely from afar. Upon seeing each other, they will be very happy, and they will develop feelings of compassion and love for one another. After seven days, these people will also emerge from their hiding places in the mountains and wilderness. When they see each other again, they will develop feelings of compassion and love for one another. After seeing each other, they will say: 'Dear friends! We are now seeing each other, and we are safe. It is because we did unwholesome deeds in the past that we have experienced this, and our relatives have all died. We should rather do good deeds together. How should we do good deeds together? We are all killers. Now, we should rather abstain from killing and cease killing. We should do such good deeds together.' They will then do such good deeds together. After doing good deeds, their lifespans will increase, and their appearances will become better. When their lifespans increase and their appearances become better, monks! A person with a lifespan of ten years will have a child with a lifespan of twenty years. Monks! A person with a lifespan of twenty years will then think: 'If we seek to do good, our lifespans will increase, and our appearances will become better. We should strive to do even more good together.'

「云何比丘行自境界,從父所得?此比丘觀內身如身,觀內覺、心、法如法,是謂比丘行自境界,從父所得。云何比丘壽?此比丘修欲定如意足,依遠離,依無慾,依滅盡,趣向出要;修精進定,修心定,修思惟定如意足,依遠離,依無慾,依滅盡,趣向出要,是謂比丘壽
現代漢語譯本:比丘們!當人類壽命達到八萬歲時,這閻浮提洲將極其富饒繁榮,人口眾多,村莊彼此相鄰,近得像雞飛一下就能到達。比丘們!當人類壽命達到八萬歲時,女子要到五百歲才出嫁。比丘們!當人類壽命達到八萬歲時,只有這些疾病:寒熱、大小便失調、慾望、食慾不振、衰老,再沒有其他的疾病。 比丘們!當人類壽命達到八萬歲時,會有一位名叫螺的國王,他是一位轉輪王,聰明睿智,擁有四種軍隊來統治天下,一切都由他自己做主。他是一位如法的法王,擁有七種寶物,這七寶是:輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、居士寶、主兵臣寶,這就是所謂的七寶。他有一千個兒子,個個容貌端正,勇猛無畏,能夠降伏其他勢力,他必定統治這整個大地,乃至大海,不用刀槍,而是用佛法教化,使人民得到安樂。比丘們!那些剎帝利頂生王,他們成為一國之主,統治天下,行使他們從父輩那裡繼承的領地。他們因為行使從父輩那裡繼承的領地,壽命不會減少,容貌不會變醜,不會失去快樂,力量也不會衰退。比丘們!你們也應該像這樣,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信念,捨棄家庭,離開世俗,學習佛道,行使你們從父輩那裡繼承的領地。比丘們!你們因為行使從父輩那裡繼承的領地,壽命不會減少,容貌不會變醜,不會失去快樂,力量也不會衰退。 比丘們,什麼是行使從父輩那裡繼承的領地呢?就是這位比丘觀察自己的身體如同身體,觀察自己的感受、心念、法如同法,這就是比丘行使從父輩那裡繼承的領地。比丘們,什麼是比丘的壽命呢?就是這位比丘修習欲定如意足,依靠遠離,依靠無慾,依靠滅盡,趨向解脫;修習精進定,修習心定,修習思惟定如意足,依靠遠離,依靠無慾,依靠滅盡,趨向解脫,這就是比丘的壽命。
English version: Monks! When the lifespan of humans reaches eighty thousand years, this Jambudvipa will be extremely prosperous and abundant, with a large population, and villages close to each other, as close as a chicken can fly. Monks! When the lifespan of humans reaches eighty thousand years, women will only marry at the age of five hundred. Monks! When the lifespan of humans reaches eighty thousand years, there will only be these diseases: cold and heat, bowel and bladder issues, desires, loss of appetite, and old age, and no other illnesses. Monks! When the lifespan of humans reaches eighty thousand years, there will be a king named Snail, who will be a Chakravartin king, intelligent and wise, possessing four types of armies to rule the world, with everything under his own control. He will be a righteous Dharma king, possessing seven treasures, which are: the wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the householder treasure, and the chief military minister treasure, these are the so-called seven treasures. He will have a thousand sons, each with a handsome appearance, brave and fearless, able to subdue other forces, and he will surely rule this entire earth, even the oceans, not with swords and weapons, but with the teachings of the Dharma, bringing peace and happiness to the people. Monks! Those Kshatriya crown-prince kings, they become the rulers of a country, governing the world, exercising the territory they inherited from their fathers. Because they exercise the territory they inherited from their fathers, their lifespan will not decrease, their appearance will not become ugly, they will not lose happiness, and their strength will not decline. Monks! You should also be like this, shave your heads and beards, wear the robes, with firm faith, abandon your families, leave the secular world, learn the Buddha's path, and exercise the territory you inherited from your fathers. Monks! Because you exercise the territory you inherited from your fathers, your lifespan will not decrease, your appearance will not become ugly, you will not lose happiness, and your strength will not decline. Monks, what is exercising the territory inherited from one's fathers? It is when this monk observes his own body as a body, observes his own feelings, thoughts, and dharmas as dharmas, this is what it means for a monk to exercise the territory inherited from his fathers. Monks, what is the lifespan of a monk? It is when this monk cultivates the desire-concentration psychic power, relying on detachment, relying on non-desire, relying on cessation, moving towards liberation; cultivates the effort-concentration, cultivates the mind-concentration, cultivates the contemplation-concentration psychic power, relying on detachment, relying on non-desire, relying on cessation, moving towards liberation, this is the lifespan of a monk.
。云何比丘色?此比丘修習禁戒,守護從解脫,又復善攝威儀禮節,見纖介罪,常懷畏怖,受持學戒,是謂比丘色。云何比丘樂?此比丘離欲、離惡不善之法,乃至得第四禪成就游,是謂比丘樂。云何比丘力?此比丘諸漏已盡,得無漏,心解脫、慧解脫,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真,是謂比丘力。
「比丘!我不更見有力不可降伏如魔王力,彼漏盡比丘則以無上聖慧之力而能降伏。」

English version: What is a bhikkhu's 'form'? This bhikkhu practices the precepts, guards against liberation, and is also good at maintaining dignified manners and etiquette. Seeing the slightest fault, he is always filled with fear, and upholds and learns the precepts. This is what is called a bhikkhu's 'form'. What is a bhikkhu's 'joy'? This bhikkhu is detached from desires, detached from evil and unwholesome states, and even attains and abides in the fourth jhana. This is what is called a bhikkhu's 'joy'. What is a bhikkhu's 'power'? This bhikkhu has exhausted all outflows, attained the outflow-less, mental liberation, wisdom liberation, and in this very life, he knows for himself, awakens for himself, realizes for himself and abides in it. Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, there is no more rebirth, and he knows the truth as it is. This is what is called a bhikkhu's 'power'. 'Bhikkhus! I do not see any other power that is as difficult to subdue as the power of Mara, but those bhikkhus who have exhausted the outflows can subdue it with the power of supreme holy wisdom.'

At one time, the venerable Kumārakāśyapa was traveling in the Kosala country, and together with a large assembly of bhikkhus, he went to Sāvatthī, and stayed in the Śīśapā forest north of that village. At that time, there was a king named Tick in Sāvatthī, who was extremely wealthy, with immeasurable resources, countless livestock and industries, and various kinds of fiefs and estates. All the springs, ponds, and vegetation of Sāvatthī belonged to the king, and were granted to him by King Pasenadi of Kosala.
於是,斯和提梵志、居士,聞有沙門名鳩摩羅迦葉,游拘薩羅國,與大比丘眾俱,來至此斯和提,住彼村北尸攝和林。彼沙門鳩摩羅迦葉有大名稱,周聞十方,鳩摩羅迦葉才辯無礙,所說微妙,彼是多聞阿羅訶也。若有見此阿羅訶恭敬禮事者,快得善利,我等可往見彼沙門鳩摩羅迦葉。斯和提梵志、居士各與等類相隨而行,從斯和提並共北出,至尸攝和林。
是時,蜱肆王在正殿上,遙見斯和提梵志、居士,各與等類相隨而行,從斯和提並共北出,至尸攝和林。蜱肆王見已,告侍人曰:「此斯和提梵志、居士,今日何故各與等類相隨而行,從斯和提並共北出,至尸攝和林?」
侍人白曰:「天王!彼斯和提梵志、居士,聞有沙門鳩摩羅迦葉游拘薩羅國,與大比丘眾俱,來至此斯和提,住彼村北尸攝和林。天王!彼沙門鳩摩羅迦葉有大名稱,周聞十方,鳩摩羅迦葉才辯無礙,所說微妙,彼是多聞阿羅訶也。若有見此阿羅訶恭敬禮事者,快得善利,我等可往見彼沙門鳩摩羅迦葉。天王!是故斯和提梵志、居士,各與等類相隨而行,從斯和提並共北出,至尸攝和林
現代漢語譯本:於是,斯和提的婆羅門和居士們聽說有一位名叫鳩摩羅迦葉的沙門,正在拘薩羅國遊歷,與眾多比丘一同來到斯和提,住在村北的尸攝和林。那位沙門鳩摩羅迦葉名聲遠揚,傳遍十方,他才辯無礙,所說之法微妙精深,是一位博學多聞的阿羅漢。如果有人能見到這位阿羅漢並恭敬禮拜,定能獲得極大的利益。我們應該前去拜見那位沙門鳩摩羅迦葉。於是,斯和提的婆羅門和居士們各自帶領同伴,從斯和提一同向北出發,前往尸攝和林。 當時,蜱肆王正在正殿之上,遠遠看見斯和提的婆羅門和居士們各自帶領同伴,從斯和提一同向北出發,前往尸攝和林。蜱肆王看到后,便對侍從說:『今天,這些斯和提的婆羅門和居士們為何各自帶領同伴,從斯和提一同向北出發,前往尸攝和林呢?』 侍從回答說:『大王,那些斯和提的婆羅門和居士們聽說有一位名叫鳩摩羅迦葉的沙門,正在拘薩羅國遊歷,與眾多比丘一同來到斯和提,住在村北的尸攝和林。大王,那位沙門鳩摩羅迦葉名聲遠揚,傳遍十方,他才辯無礙,所說之法微妙精深,是一位博學多聞的阿羅漢。如果有人能見到這位阿羅漢並恭敬禮拜,定能獲得極大的利益。我們應該前去拜見那位沙門鳩摩羅迦葉。大王,因此,斯和提的婆羅門和居士們各自帶領同伴,從斯和提一同向北出發,前往尸攝和林。』
English version: Then, the Brahmins and householders of Sāvatthī heard that a śramaṇa named Kumārakāśyapa was traveling in the country of Kosala, and had come to Sāvatthī with a large assembly of monks, residing in the Śīśapā forest north of the village. That śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa had a great reputation, known throughout the ten directions. Kumārakāśyapa was eloquent and unhindered, his teachings were profound and subtle, and he was a learned Arhat. If anyone were to see this Arhat and respectfully pay homage, they would quickly gain great benefit. We should go and see that śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa. So, the Brahmins and householders of Sāvatthī, each with their companions, set out together from Sāvatthī, heading north to the Śīśapā forest. At that time, King Pīṭha was in the main hall, and from afar he saw the Brahmins and householders of Sāvatthī, each with their companions, setting out together from Sāvatthī, heading north to the Śīśapā forest. Upon seeing this, King Pīṭha said to his attendants, 『Why are these Brahmins and householders of Sāvatthī today, each with their companions, setting out together from Sāvatthī, heading north to the Śīśapā forest?』 The attendant replied, 『Your Majesty, those Brahmins and householders of Sāvatthī have heard that a śramaṇa named Kumārakāśyapa is traveling in the country of Kosala, and has come to Sāvatthī with a large assembly of monks, residing in the Śīśapā forest north of the village. Your Majesty, that śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa has a great reputation, known throughout the ten directions. Kumārakāśyapa is eloquent and unhindered, his teachings are profound and subtle, and he is a learned Arhat. If anyone were to see this Arhat and respectfully pay homage, they would quickly gain great benefit. We should go and see that śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa. Your Majesty, that is why the Brahmins and householders of Sāvatthī, each with their companions, are setting out together from Sāvatthī, heading north to the Śīśapā forest.』
蜱肆王聞已,告侍人曰:「汝往詣彼斯和提梵志、居士所,而語之曰:『蜱肆王告斯和提梵志、居士:「諸賢可住,我與汝等共往見彼沙門鳩摩羅迦葉。汝等愚癡!勿為彼所欺,為有後世,有眾生生。我如是見,如是說,無有後世,無眾生生。」』」
侍人受教,即往詣彼斯和提梵志、居士所,而語之曰:「蜱肆王告斯和提梵志、居士:『諸賢可住,我與汝等共往見彼沙門鳩摩羅迦葉。汝等愚癡!勿為彼所欺,為有後世,有眾生生。我如是見,如是說:無有後世,無眾生生。』」
斯和提梵志、居士聞此教已,答侍人曰:「輒如來敕。」
侍人還啟,已宣王命:「彼斯和提梵志、居士住待天王,唯愿天王宜知是時。」
時,蜱肆王即敕御者:「汝速嚴駕,我今欲行。」
御者受教,即速嚴駕訖,還白王:「嚴駕已辦,隨天王意。」
時,蜱肆王即乘車出,往詣斯和提梵志、居士所,與共北行至尸攝和林。時,蜱肆王遙見尊者鳩摩羅迦葉在樹林間,即下車步進,往詣尊者鳩摩羅迦葉所,共相問訊,卻坐一面,問曰:「迦葉!我今欲問,寧見聽耶?」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!若欲問者,便可問之,我聞已當思
蜱肆王聽了這話,告訴侍從說:『你到斯和提梵志、居士那裡去,告訴他們說:「蜱肆王告訴斯和提梵志、居士:『各位可以留步,我將和你們一起去見沙門鳩摩羅迦葉。你們真是愚蠢!不要被他欺騙了,說什麼有來世,有眾生轉生。我是這樣認為,這樣說的,沒有來世,沒有眾生轉生。』」』 侍從接受命令,就到斯和提梵志、居士那裡,告訴他們說:『蜱肆王告訴斯和提梵志、居士:「各位可以留步,我將和你們一起去見沙門鳩摩羅迦葉。你們真是愚蠢!不要被他欺騙了,說什麼有來世,有眾生轉生。我是這樣認為,這樣說的:沒有來世,沒有眾生轉生。」』 斯和提梵志、居士聽了這話,回答侍從說:『遵從大王的命令。』 侍從回來稟告,說已經傳達了王的命令:『那些斯和提梵志、居士正在等候大王,希望大王知道時機已到。』 當時,蜱肆王就命令御者說:『你快點準備車駕,我現在要出發。』 御者接受命令,立刻準備好車駕,回來稟告王說:『車駕已經準備好了,聽從大王的意願。』 當時,蜱肆王就乘車出發,前往斯和提梵志、居士那裡,和他們一起向北走到尸攝和林。當時,蜱肆王遠遠看見尊者鳩摩羅迦葉在樹林間,就下車步行,走到尊者鳩摩羅迦葉那裡,互相問候,然後坐在一旁,問道:『迦葉!我現在想問你一些問題,你願意聽嗎?』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉回答說:『蜱肆!如果你想問,就問吧,我聽了會思考的。』
King Pīlā heard this and told his attendant, 『Go to those Brahmins and householders of Sīhavati, and tell them, 「King Pīlā says to the Brahmins and householders of Sīhavati: 『Please wait, I will go with you to see the ascetic Kumārakassapa. You are foolish! Don』t be deceived by him, saying there is an afterlife, and beings are reborn. I see it this way, and I say it this way: there is no afterlife, and no beings are reborn.』」』 The attendant accepted the order and went to those Brahmins and householders of Sīhavati, and told them, 『King Pīlā says to the Brahmins and householders of Sīhavati: 「Please wait, I will go with you to see the ascetic Kumārakassapa. You are foolish! Don』t be deceived by him, saying there is an afterlife, and beings are reborn. I see it this way, and I say it this way: there is no afterlife, and no beings are reborn.」』 The Brahmins and householders of Sīhavati, having heard this instruction, replied to the attendant, 『As the king commands.』 The attendant returned and reported that he had conveyed the king』s order: 『Those Brahmins and householders of Sīhavati are waiting for the king, may the king know that the time is right.』 Then, King Pīlā immediately ordered the charioteer, 『Quickly prepare the chariot, I wish to depart now.』 The charioteer accepted the order, quickly prepared the chariot, and returned to inform the king, 『The chariot is ready, as the king wishes.』 Then, King Pīlā got into the chariot and set off, going to the Brahmins and householders of Sīhavati, and together they traveled north to the Sīsavana Grove. Then, King Pīlā saw the venerable Kumārakassapa in the grove, got out of the chariot, and walked to the venerable Kumārakassapa, exchanged greetings, and sat down to one side, asking, 『Kassapa! I wish to ask you something, would you be willing to listen?』 The venerable Kumārakassapa replied, 『Pīlā! If you wish to ask, then ask, I will consider it after hearing it.』
時,蜱肆王即便問曰:「迦葉!我如是見,如是說,無有後世,無眾生生。沙門鳩摩羅迦葉!于意云何?」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!我今問王,隨所解答。于王意云何?今此日月,為是今世,為後世耶?」
蜱肆答曰:「沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖作是說,但我如是見,如是說,無有後世,無眾生生。」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!復更有惡而過此耶?」
蜱肆答曰:「如是。迦葉!復更有惡。迦葉!我有親親疾病困篤,我往彼所,到已,謂言:『汝等當知我如是見,如是說:無有後世,無眾生生。親親!有沙門、梵志如是見,如是說言:有後世,有眾生生。我常不信彼之所說。彼復作是語:「若有男女作惡行,不精進,事惰、懈怠、嫉妒、慳貪,不舒手,不庶幾,極著財物,彼因緣此,身壞命終,必至惡處,生地獄中。」若彼沙門、梵志所說是真實者,汝等是我親親,作惡行,不精進事惰、懈怠、嫉妒、慳貪,不舒手,不庶幾,極著財物,若汝等身壞命終,必至惡處,生地獄中者,可還語我:「蜱肆!彼地獄中如是如是苦。」若當爾者,我便現見。』彼聞我語,受我教已,都無有來語我言:『蜱肆!彼地獄中如是如是苦
當時,蜱肆王就問道:『迦葉!我是這樣認為,這樣說的,沒有來世,沒有眾生出生。沙門鳩摩羅迦葉!你認為如何?』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉回答說:『蜱肆!我現在問你,你隨自己的想法回答。你認為如何?現在的日月,是屬於今世,還是屬於來世呢?』 蜱肆回答說:『沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖然這樣說,但我還是這樣認為,這樣說的,沒有來世,沒有眾生出生。』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說:『蜱肆!還有比這更惡劣的嗎?』 蜱肆回答說:『是的。迦葉!還有更惡劣的。迦葉!我有個親戚病重,我去看望他們,到了之後,對他們說:『你們要知道我是這樣認為,這樣說的:沒有來世,沒有眾生出生。親戚們!有沙門、婆羅門是這樣認為,這樣說的:有來世,有眾生出生。我一直不相信他們所說的。他們又說:「如果男女做了惡行,不精進,懶惰、懈怠、嫉妒、吝嗇,不肯施捨,不求福報,極其貪戀財物,他們因此,身死命終,必定會到惡處,生在地獄中。」如果那些沙門、婆羅門說的是真的,你們是我的親戚,做了惡行,不精進,懶惰、懈怠、嫉妒、吝嗇,不肯施捨,不求福報,極其貪戀財物,如果你們身死命終,必定會到惡處,生在地獄中,可以回來告訴我:「蜱肆!那個地獄裡是這樣這樣痛苦的。」如果那樣的話,我就能親眼看到了。』他們聽了我的話,接受了我的教導,但是都沒有人回來告訴我:『蜱肆!那個地獄裡是這樣這樣痛苦的。』
Then, King Pīsi asked, 'Kāśyapa, I see it this way, I say it this way: there is no afterlife, no beings are born. Śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa, what do you think?' Venerable Kumārakāśyapa replied, 'Pīsi, I will now ask you, answer as you see fit. What do you think? Are the sun and moon of this world, or of the next world?' Pīsi replied, 'Śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa, though you say this, I still see it this way, I say it this way: there is no afterlife, no beings are born.' Venerable Kumārakāśyapa said, 'Pīsi, is there anything more evil than this?' Pīsi replied, 'Yes, Kāśyapa, there is something more evil. Kāśyapa, I have relatives who are seriously ill. I went to see them, and upon arriving, I said to them, 「You should know that I see it this way, I say it this way: there is no afterlife, no beings are born. Relatives, there are śramaṇas and brahmins who see it this way, who say it this way: there is an afterlife, beings are born. I have never believed what they say. They also say, 『If men and women do evil deeds, are not diligent, are lazy, indolent, jealous, stingy, do not give, do not seek merit, and are extremely attached to wealth, they will, because of this, after their bodies break up and they die, certainly go to a bad place, be born in hell.』 If what those śramaṇas and brahmins say is true, you are my relatives, you do evil deeds, are not diligent, are lazy, indolent, jealous, stingy, do not give, do not seek merit, and are extremely attached to wealth, if after your bodies break up and you die, you certainly go to a bad place, be born in hell, you can come back and tell me, 『Pīsi, the suffering in that hell is like this, like this.』 If that were the case, I would see it with my own eyes.」 They heard my words, accepted my teaching, but no one has come back to tell me, 「Pīsi, the suffering in that hell is like this, like this.」'
。』迦葉!因此事故,我作是念:無有後世,無眾生生。」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!我復問王,隨所解答。若有王人收縛罪者,送至王所,白曰:『天王!此人有罪,王當治之。』王告彼曰:『汝等將去反縛兩手,令彼騎驢,打破敗鼓,聲如驢鳴,遍宣令已,從城南門出,坐高標下,斬斷其頭。』彼受教已,即反縛罪人,令其騎驢,打破敗鼓,聲如驢鳴,遍宣令已,從城南門出,坐高標下,欲斬其頭。此人臨死語彼卒曰:『汝且小住,我欲得見父母、妻子、奴婢、使人,聽我暫去。』于王意云何?彼卒寧當放斯罪人,聽暫去耶?」
蜱肆答曰:「不也。迦葉!」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!王親親者亦復如是,作惡行,不精進,事惰、懈怠、嫉妒、慳貪、不舒手,不庶幾,極著財物,彼因緣此,身壞命終,必至惡處,生地獄中。地獄卒捉極苦治時,彼語卒曰:『諸地獄卒!汝等小住,莫苦治我,我欲暫去詣蜱肆王,告語之曰:「彼地獄中如是如是苦。」令彼現見。』于王意云何?彼地獄卒寧當放王親親令暫來耶?」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!汝應如是觀於後世,莫如肉眼之所見也
現代漢語譯本:『迦葉!因此,我才會有這樣的想法:沒有來世,沒有眾生的誕生。』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說道:『蜱肆!我再問你,你如實回答。如果王的臣子抓捕了一個罪犯,把他送到王那裡,稟告說:『大王!這個人有罪,請您處置。』王對他們說:『你們把他反綁雙手,讓他騎上驢,敲破舊鼓,發出像驢叫一樣的聲音,宣告他的罪行,然後從城南門出去,在高高的刑臺上斬首。』他們接受命令后,就反綁罪犯,讓他騎上驢,敲破舊鼓,發出像驢叫一樣的聲音,宣告他的罪行,然後從城南門出去,在高高的刑臺上準備斬首。這個人臨死前對劊子手說:『請你稍等一下,我想見見我的父母、妻子、奴婢、僕人,讓我暫時離開一下。』你覺得,劊子手會放他走,讓他暫時離開嗎?』 蜱肆回答說:『不會的,迦葉!』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說道:『蜱肆!王的親信也是如此,如果他們作惡,不精進,懶惰懈怠,嫉妒慳吝,不肯施捨,沒有善念,極其貪戀財物,他們因此身死命終,必定會墮入惡道,生在地獄中。地獄的獄卒用酷刑折磨他們時,他們會對獄卒說:『獄卒們!請你們稍等一下,不要折磨我,我想暫時去見蜱肆王,告訴他:『地獄裡是這樣這樣痛苦的。』讓他親眼看看。』你覺得,地獄的獄卒會放王的親信暫時離開嗎?』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說道:『蜱肆!你應該這樣看待來世,不要只用肉眼所見來判斷。』
English version: 'Kashyapa! Therefore, I have this thought: there is no afterlife, and no beings are born.' Venerable Kumārakāshyapa said: 'Pīṣa! I ask you again, answer as it is. If a king's officer arrests a criminal and sends him to the king, reporting: 'Your Majesty! This person is guilty, please punish him.' The king tells them: 'You shall bind his hands behind his back, make him ride a donkey, beat a broken drum, making a sound like a donkey's bray, proclaim his crimes, then take him out of the south gate of the city, and behead him on a high platform.' After receiving the order, they bind the criminal, make him ride a donkey, beat a broken drum, making a sound like a donkey's bray, proclaim his crimes, then take him out of the south gate of the city, and prepare to behead him on a high platform. This person, facing death, says to the executioner: 'Please wait a moment, I want to see my parents, wife, slaves, and servants, let me leave temporarily.' What do you think, would the executioner let him go, let him leave temporarily?' Pīṣa replied: 'No, Kashyapa!' Venerable Kumārakāshyapa said: 'Pīṣa! The king's close relatives are also like this, if they do evil, are not diligent, are lazy and indolent, jealous and stingy, unwilling to give, have no good intentions, and are extremely attached to wealth, they will, because of this, die and fall into evil realms, and be born in hell. When the hell guards torture them with extreme cruelty, they will say to the guards: 'Hell guards! Please wait a moment, do not torture me, I want to go temporarily to see King Pīṣa, and tell him: 'Hell is like this and this painful.' Let him see it with his own eyes.' What do you think, would the hell guards let the king's close relatives leave temporarily?' Venerable Kumārakāshyapa said: 'Pīṣa! You should view the afterlife in this way, do not judge it only by what you see with your physical eyes.'
。蜱肆!若有沙門、梵志斷絕離欲,趣向離欲,斷絕離恚,趣向離恚,斷絕離癡,趣向離癡,彼以清凈天眼出過於人,見此眾生死時、生時,好色、惡色,或妙、不妙,往來善處及不善處,隨此眾生之所作業,見其如真。」
蜱肆王復言:「沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖作是說,但我如是見,如是說:無有後世,無眾生生。」
蜱肆答曰:「如是。迦葉!復更有惡。迦葉!我有親親疾病困篤,我往彼所,到已謂言:『汝等當知我如是見,如是說:無有後世,無眾生生。親親!有沙門、梵志如是見,如是說言:有後世,有眾生生。我常不信彼之所說。彼復作是語:「若有男女妙行精進,精勤不懈,無有嫉妒,亦不慳貪,舒手,庶幾,開意放舍,給諸孤窮,常樂施與,不著財物,彼因緣此,身壞命終,必升善處,乃生天上。」若彼沙門、梵志所說是真實者,汝等是我親親,妙行精進,精勤不懈,無有嫉妒,亦不慳貪,舒手,庶幾,開意放舍,給諸孤窮,常樂施與,不著財物,若汝等身壞命終,必升善處,生天上者,可還語我:「蜱肆!天上如是如是樂。」若當爾者,我便現見。』彼聞我語,受我教已,都無有來語我言:『蜱肆!天上如是如是樂
現代漢語譯本:蜱肆!如果有一些沙門或婆羅門斷絕了對慾望的執著,並傾向於離欲;斷絕了嗔恨,並傾向於離嗔;斷絕了愚癡,並傾向於離癡,他們會以清凈的天眼,超越常人,看到眾生死時和生時,看到他們美好的或醜陋的形態,看到他們往來於善處或不善處,並根據眾生所造的業,如實地看到這一切。 蜱肆王又說:『沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖然這樣說,但我所見所說是:沒有來世,沒有眾生的產生。』 蜱肆回答說:『是的,迦葉!還有更惡劣的。迦葉!我有一個親戚病重,我去看望他,到了之後對他說:『你們要知道,我所見所說是:沒有來世,沒有眾生的產生。親戚啊!有一些沙門或婆羅門這樣認為,這樣說:有來世,有眾生的產生。我一直不相信他們所說的。他們又說:「如果男女能夠行善,精進不懈,沒有嫉妒,也不慳吝,樂於佈施,慷慨解囊,樂於施捨,不執著于財物,他們因此在身壞命終后,必定會升入善處,乃至生到天上。」如果那些沙門或婆羅門所說的是真實的,你們是我的親戚,行善,精進不懈,沒有嫉妒,也不慳吝,樂於佈施,慷慨解囊,樂於施捨,不執著于財物,如果你們身壞命終,必定會升入善處,生到天上,可以回來告訴我:「蜱肆!天上的快樂是這樣的。」如果這樣,我就會親眼見到。』他們聽了我的話,接受了我的教導,但都沒有回來告訴我:『蜱肆!天上的快樂是這樣的。』
English version: 'Pīṣa, if there are some ascetics or Brahmins who have severed their attachment to desire and are inclined towards detachment, who have severed their hatred and are inclined towards non-hatred, who have severed their delusion and are inclined towards non-delusion, they, with their pure divine eye, surpassing ordinary people, see beings passing away and being reborn, see their beautiful or ugly forms, see them going to good or bad destinations, and according to the deeds of these beings, they see all this as it truly is.' King Pīṣa then said, 'Although the ascetic Kumārakāśyapa says this, what I see and say is: there is no afterlife, there is no birth of beings.' The venerable Kumārakāśyapa said, 'Pīṣa, is there anything more evil than this?' Pīṣa replied, 'Yes, Kāśyapa! There is something more evil. Kāśyapa! I had a relative who was seriously ill. I went to see him, and upon arriving, I said to him, 「You should know that what I see and say is: there is no afterlife, there is no birth of beings. Relatives! There are some ascetics or Brahmins who believe and say: there is an afterlife, there is a birth of beings. I have never believed what they say. They also say, 『If men and women are able to do good deeds, are diligent and unremitting, have no jealousy, are not stingy, are generous in giving, open-handed, willing to give, and not attached to wealth, they will, because of this, after the destruction of their bodies and the end of their lives, surely ascend to a good place, even to heaven.』 If what those ascetics or Brahmins say is true, you are my relatives, doing good deeds, diligent and unremitting, having no jealousy, not being stingy, being generous in giving, open-handed, willing to give, and not attached to wealth. If you, after the destruction of your bodies and the end of your lives, surely ascend to a good place, to heaven, you can come back and tell me, 「Pīṣa! The happiness in heaven is like this.」 If that happens, I will see it with my own eyes.』 They heard my words, accepted my teaching, but none of them came back to tell me, 『Pīṣa! The happiness in heaven is like this.』」'
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!聽我說喻,慧者聞喻則解其義。蜱肆!猶村邑外有都圊廁,深沒人頭,糞滿其中,而有一人墮沒廁底。若復有人為慈愍彼,求義及饒益,求安隱快樂,便從廁上徐徐挽出,刮以竹片,拭以樹葉,洗以暖湯。彼於後時凈澡浴已,以香涂身,升正殿上,以五所欲而娛樂之。于王意云何?彼人寧復憶念先廁,歡喜稱譽,復欲見耶?」
蜱肆答曰:「不也。迦葉!若更有人憶念彼廁,歡喜稱譽而欲見者,便不愛此人,況復自憶念先廁,歡喜稱譽?復欲見者,是處不然。」
「蜱肆!若王有親親,妙行精進,精勤不懈,無有嫉妒,亦不慳貪,舒手,庶幾,開意放舍,給諸孤窮,常樂施與,不著財物,彼因緣此,身壞命終,必升善處,乃生天上,生天上已,天五所欲而自娛樂。于王意云何?彼天天子寧當舍彼天五所欲,憶念於此人間五欲,歡喜稱譽,復欲見耶?」
蜱肆答曰:「不也。迦葉!所以者何?人間五欲臭處不凈,甚可增惡,而不可向,不可愛念,粗澀不凈。迦葉!比於人間五所欲者,天欲為最,最上最好,最妙最勝。若彼天天子舍天五欲,而更憶念人間五欲,歡喜稱譽,復欲見者,是處不然
『迦葉!因此緣故,我這樣想:沒有來世,沒有眾生會再生。』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說道:『蜱肆!聽我說個比喻,有智慧的人聽了比喻就能理解其中的含義。蜱肆!就像村莊外面有個公共廁所,深得能沒過人頭,裡面充滿了糞便,有個人掉進廁所底部。如果有人出於慈悲憐憫,爲了幫助他,爲了他的利益和安穩快樂,就從廁所上面慢慢把他拉出來,用竹片刮掉他身上的污穢,用樹葉擦拭乾凈,再用溫水洗凈。之後,這個人徹底洗浴乾淨,塗上香料,登上正殿,享受五種感官的快樂。你覺得怎麼樣?這個人還會回憶起之前的廁所,喜歡它,讚美它,還想再見到它嗎?』 蜱肆回答說:『不會的。迦葉!如果有人還回憶起那個廁所,喜歡它,讚美它,還想再見到它,那這個人就不值得喜愛,更何況自己回憶起之前的廁所,喜歡它,讚美它,還想再見到它,這是不可能的。』 『蜱肆!如果國王有親近的人,行為美好,精進努力,勤奮不懈,沒有嫉妒,也不吝嗇貪婪,樂於助人,慷慨大方,樂於佈施,幫助那些孤苦貧窮的人,經常樂於給予,不執著于財物,他因為這些善行,身壞命終后,必定會升入善處,轉生到天上,在天上享受天上的五種感官快樂。你覺得怎麼樣?那個天上的天子會捨棄天上的五種感官快樂,回憶起人間五欲,喜歡它,讚美它,還想再見到它嗎?』 蜱肆回答說:『不會的。迦葉!為什麼呢?因為人間的五欲是骯髒不凈的,非常令人厭惡,不值得嚮往,不值得喜愛,粗糙不潔。迦葉!與人間的五欲相比,天上的慾望是最好、最上、最妙、最殊勝的。如果那個天上的天子捨棄天上的五欲,反而回憶起人間的五欲,喜歡它,讚美它,還想再見到它,這是不可能的。』
'Kāśyapa! Because of this, I think: there is no afterlife, no beings are reborn.' Venerable Kumārakāśyapa said: 'Pīṭhasarpin! Listen to my parable, the wise will understand its meaning upon hearing it. Pīṭhasarpin! Just like outside a village there is a public latrine, deep enough to submerge a person's head, filled with excrement, and a person falls into the bottom of the latrine. If someone, out of compassion and pity, seeking benefit and well-being, slowly pulls him out from the latrine, scrapes off the filth with bamboo strips, wipes him with leaves, and washes him with warm water. Later, after this person has thoroughly bathed, applied fragrant oils, ascended to the main hall, and enjoyed the five sensual pleasures. What do you think? Would that person still remember the previous latrine, be pleased with it, praise it, and want to see it again?' Pīṭhasarpin replied: 'No, Kāśyapa! If someone were to remember that latrine, be pleased with it, praise it, and want to see it again, that person would not be worthy of love, let alone oneself remembering the previous latrine, being pleased with it, praising it, and wanting to see it again, that is impossible.' 'Pīṭhasarpin! If the king has a close relative, who is of virtuous conduct, diligent and persevering, without jealousy or greed, generous and open-handed, giving to the poor and needy, always happy to give, not attached to wealth, because of these good deeds, after his body breaks and his life ends, he will surely ascend to a good place, be reborn in heaven, and enjoy the five heavenly sensual pleasures. What do you think? Would that heavenly being abandon the five heavenly sensual pleasures, remember the five human sensual pleasures, be pleased with them, praise them, and want to see them again?' Pīṭhasarpin replied: 'No, Kāśyapa! Why is that? Because the five human sensual pleasures are foul and impure, very disgusting, not worth desiring, not worth loving, coarse and unclean. Kāśyapa! Compared to the five human sensual pleasures, the heavenly desires are the best, the highest, the most wonderful, and the most excellent. If that heavenly being were to abandon the five heavenly sensual pleasures and instead remember the five human sensual pleasures, be pleased with them, praise them, and want to see them again, that is impossible.'
「蜱肆!汝應如是觀於後世,莫如肉眼之所見也。蜱肆!若有沙門、梵志斷絕離欲,趣向離欲,斷絕離恚,趣向離恚,斷絕離癡,趣向離癡,彼以清凈天眼出過於人,見此眾生死時、生時,好色、惡色,或妙、不妙,往來善處及不善處,隨此眾生之所作業,見其如真。」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!復更有惡而過是耶?」
蜱肆答曰:「如是。迦葉!復更有惡。迦葉!我有親親疾病困篤,我往彼所,到已謂言:『汝等當知我如是見,如是說:無有後世,無眾生生。親親!有沙門、梵志如是見,如是說言:有後世,有眾生生。我常不信彼之所說。彼復作是語:「若有男女妙行精進,精勤不懈,無有嫉妒,亦不慳貪,舒手,庶幾,開意放舍,給諸孤窮,常樂施與,不著財物,彼因緣此,身壞命終,必升善處,乃生天上。」若彼沙門、梵志所說是真實者,汝等是我親親,妙行精進,精勤不懈,無有嫉妒,亦不慳貪,舒手,庶幾,開意放舍,給諸孤窮,常樂施與,不著財物,若汝等身壞命終,必升善處,生天上者,可還語我:「蜱肆!天上如是如是樂
『蜱肆!你應該這樣看待來世,而不是用肉眼所見。蜱肆!如果有沙門或婆羅門斷絕慾望,趨向無慾;斷絕嗔恨,趨向無嗔;斷絕愚癡,趨向無癡,他們會以清凈的天眼,超越常人,看到眾生死時和生時,好壞美醜,往來善處和不善處,根據眾生所作的業,如實地看到這一切。』 蜱肆王又說:『沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖然這樣說,但我還是這樣認為,這樣說:沒有來世,沒有眾生的出生。』 蜱肆回答說:『是的,迦葉!還有更惡劣的。迦葉!我有個親戚病重,我去看望他,到了之後對他說:『你們應該知道我是這樣認為,這樣說的:沒有來世,沒有眾生的出生。親戚啊!有沙門或婆羅門這樣認為,這樣說:有來世,有眾生的出生。我一直不相信他們所說的。』他們又說:『如果有男女行為美好,精進勤奮,不懈怠,沒有嫉妒,也不吝嗇,樂於佈施,慷慨解囊,樂於施捨,不執著于財物,他們因此,身壞命終后,必定會升入善處,投生到天上。』如果那些沙門或婆羅門所說的是真的,你們是我的親戚,行為美好,精進勤奮,不懈怠,沒有嫉妒,也不吝嗇,樂於佈施,慷慨解囊,樂於施捨,不執著于財物,如果你們身壞命終后,必定會升入善處,投生到天上,可以回來告訴我:『蜱肆!天上的快樂是這樣的,這樣的。』
'Pīlā! You should view the afterlife in this way, not as seen by the naked eye. Pīlā! If there are ascetics or Brahmins who have severed desire, inclined towards non-desire; severed hatred, inclined towards non-hatred; severed delusion, inclined towards non-delusion, they, with their pure divine eye, surpassing ordinary people, see beings at the time of death and birth, good and bad, beautiful and ugly, going to good and bad places, according to the deeds of these beings, they see it as it truly is.' King Pīlā then said: 'Although the ascetic Kumārakāśyapa says this, I still see it this way, and say it this way: there is no afterlife, there is no birth of beings.' The venerable Kumārakāśyapa said: 'Pīlā! Is there anything more evil than this?' Pīlā replied: 'Yes, Kāśyapa! There is something more evil. Kāśyapa! I have a close relative who is seriously ill.

。」若汝天上而作是念:「我若還歸,當何所得?」蜱肆王家多有財物,吾當與汝。』彼聞我語,受我教已,都無有來語我言:『蜱肆!天上如是如是樂。』迦葉!因此事故,我作是念:無有後世,無眾生生。」

English version: 'If, when you are in heaven, you think: 'If I return to the human world, what will I gain?' The house of King Pīlā is full of wealth, I will give it to you.' After hearing my words and accepting my teachings, he never came back to tell me: 'Pīlā! The happiness in heaven is like this and that.' Kāśyapa! Because of this, I think: there is no afterlife, no sentient beings are reborn. Venerable Kumārakāśyapa said: 'Pīlā! The lifespan in heaven is long, and the lifespan in the human world is short. One hundred years in the human world is one day and one night in the Thirty-three Heavens. Such a day and night, a month has thirty days, a year has twelve months, and the lifespan of the Thirty-three Heavens is a thousand years. What do you think? If your relatives have good conduct, practice diligently, are diligent and unremitting, have no jealousy, are not stingy or greedy, are willing to give, are generous, are happy to give to those who are lonely and poor, are always happy to give, and are not attached to wealth, because of these causes, after their bodies break and their lives end, they will surely ascend to a good place and be reborn in heaven. After arriving in heaven, they will think: 'Let us first enjoy the five desires of heaven for one day and one night, or two, three, four, or even six or seven days, enjoying the five desires of heaven. Then we will go and tell King Pīlā: 'The happiness in heaven is like this and that.' Let him see it with his own eyes.' What do you think, will you still be alive by that time?' Pīlā asked: 'Kāśyapa!

English version: 'Pīṣi asked: 『Like a blind person, they would say, there is no black and white, nor is there seeing black and white; there are no long and short colors, nor is there seeing long and short colors; there are no near and far colors, nor is there seeing near and far colors; there are no coarse and fine colors, nor is there seeing coarse and fine colors. Why is that? Because I initially did not see or perceive, therefore there is no color.』 If a blind person says this, is it true?』 Pīṣi replied: 『No. Kāśyapa! Why is that? Kāśyapa! There are black and white, and there is seeing black and white; there are long and short colors, and there is seeing long and short colors; there are near and far colors, and there is seeing near and far colors; there are coarse and fine colors, and there is seeing coarse and fine colors. If a blind person says, 『I have not seen or perceived, therefore there is no color,』 then what they say is not true.』 Venerable Kumārakāśyapa said: 『King Pīṣi is also like a blind person, if the king says: 『Who will come from the afterlife to tell me? Śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa! The lifespan in heaven is long, and the lifespan in the human realm is short. If one hundred years in the human realm is one day and night in the Thirty-three Heavens, and one day and night like that is thirty days a month, and twelve months a year, then the lifespan in the Thirty-three Heavens is a thousand years.』 King Pīṣi said: 『Śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa! That is too incredible, it should not be said like that. Why is that? Śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa! Your diligence compared to mine is like a blind person. Kāśyapa! If you know that I understand my own practice of exquisite actions, diligent and unremitting, without jealousy, nor stinginess, willing to give, generous, giving to the poor and needy, always happy to give, not attached to wealth, because of these causes, after my body breaks and my life ends, I will surely ascend to a good place, and be born in heaven. Kāśyapa! I should now immediately give alms, cultivate various meritorious deeds, observe the fast and precepts, and then kill myself with a knife, or take poison, or jump into a pit, or hang myself. Śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa! Your diligence should not be compared to mine like a blind person.』
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!復聽我說喻,慧者聞喻則解其義。蜱肆!猶如梵志有年少婦,方始懷妊,又前婦者已有一男,而彼梵志於其中間忽便命終,命終之後,彼前婦兒語小母曰:『小母!當知今此家中所有財物盡應屬我,不復見應可與分者。』小母報曰:『我今懷妊,若生男者,汝應與分;若生女者,物盡屬汝。』彼前婦兒復更再三語小母曰:『今此家中所有財物盡應屬我,不復見應可與分者。』小母亦復再三報曰:『我今懷妊,若生男者,汝應與分;若生女者,物盡屬汝。』於是,小母愚癡不達,不善曉解,無有智慧,欲求存命而反自害,即入室中,便取利刀自決其腹,看為是男,為是女耶?彼愚癡不達,不善曉解,無有智慧,欲求存命而反自害及腹中子。當知蜱肆亦復如是愚癡不達,不善曉解,無有智慧,欲求存命,反作是念:『迦葉!若知我知我親親妙行精進,精勤不懈,無有嫉妒,亦不慳貪,舒手,庶幾,開意放舍,給諸孤窮,常樂施與,不著財物,彼因緣此,身壞命終,必升善處,生天上者,我今便應即行佈施,修諸福業,奉齋守戒已,以刀自殺,或服毒藥,或投坑井,或自縊死。沙門鳩摩羅迦葉!精進不應比我如彼盲人
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說:『蜱肆!你再聽我說個比喻,有智慧的人聽了比喻就能明白其中的道理。蜱肆!譬如有個婆羅門年紀很大了,才開始讓妻子懷孕,而他之前的妻子已經生了一個兒子。後來,這個婆羅門突然去世了。他去世后,前妻的兒子對小媽說:『小媽!你要知道,現在這個家裡所有的財產都應該歸我,不應該再分給別人。』小媽回答說:『我現在懷著孕,如果生的是男孩,你就應該分給他一份;如果生的是女孩,所有的財產都歸你。』前妻的兒子又再三對小媽說:『現在這個家裡所有的財產都應該歸我,不應該再分給別人。』小媽也再三回答說:『我現在懷著孕,如果生的是男孩,你就應該分給他一份;如果生的是女孩,所有的財產都歸你。』於是,小媽愚蠢無知,不明事理,沒有智慧,想要活命反而害了自己,就走進房間,拿起鋒利的刀子剖開自己的肚子,想看看是男孩還是女孩。她愚蠢無知,不明事理,沒有智慧,想要活命反而害了自己和腹中的孩子。你要知道,蜱肆,你也像她一樣愚蠢無知,不明事理,沒有智慧,想要活命,反而這樣想:『迦葉!如果知道我親身實踐美好的修行,精進勤奮,不懈怠,沒有嫉妒,也不吝嗇貪婪,樂於施捨,慷慨大方,佈施給那些孤苦貧窮的人,經常樂於給予,不執著于財物,他因為這個原因,身壞命終,必定會升入善處,生到天上。我如果現在就應該立刻佈施,修各種福業,奉行齋戒,然後用刀自殺,或者服毒藥,或者跳入坑井,或者上吊自殺。沙門鳩摩羅迦葉!你的精進不應該像我這樣,像那個盲人一樣。』
Venerable Kumara Kashyapa said: 'Pipa! Listen again to my parable, and the wise will understand its meaning. Pipa! It is like a Brahmin who was very old and had just made his wife pregnant. His previous wife already had a son. Then, the Brahmin suddenly died. After his death, the son of the previous wife said to his stepmother: 'Stepmother! You should know that all the property in this house should belong to me, and no one else should share it.' The stepmother replied: 'I am now pregnant. If I give birth to a boy, you should share it with him; if I give birth to a girl, all the property will belong to you.' The son of the previous wife repeatedly said to his stepmother: 'All the property in this house should belong to me, and no one else should share it.' The stepmother also repeatedly replied: 'I am now pregnant. If I give birth to a boy, you should share it with him; if I give birth to a girl, all the property will belong to you.' Then, the stepmother, being foolish and ignorant, lacking understanding and wisdom, wanting to live but harming herself instead, went into the room, took a sharp knife, and cut open her belly to see if it was a boy or a girl. She was foolish and ignorant, lacking understanding and wisdom, wanting to live but harming herself and the child in her womb. You should know, Pipa, that you are also like her, foolish and ignorant, lacking understanding and wisdom, wanting to live, but instead thinking: 'Kashyapa! If it is known that I personally practice good conduct, diligently and tirelessly, without jealousy, nor stinginess or greed, being generous, open-handed, giving to the poor and needy, always happy to give, not attached to wealth, then because of this, when my body breaks and I die, I will surely ascend to a good place and be born in heaven. If I should now immediately give alms, cultivate various meritorious deeds, observe the fasts and precepts, and then kill myself with a knife, or take poison, or jump into a pit, or hang myself. Shramana Kumara Kashyapa! Your diligence should not be compared to me, like that blind person.'
。』蜱肆!若精進人長壽者,便得大福;若得大福者,便得生天長壽。蜱肆!汝應如是觀於後世,莫如肉眼之所見也。蜱肆!若有沙門、梵志斷絕離欲,趣向離欲,斷絕離恚,趣向離恚,斷絕離癡,趣向離癡,彼以清凈天眼出過於人,見此眾生死時、生時,好色、惡色,或妙、不妙,往來善處及不善處,隨此眾生之所作業,見其如真。」
蜱肆答曰:「如是。迦葉!復更有惡。迦葉!我有親親疾病困篤,我往彼所,慰勞看彼,彼亦慰勞視我;彼若命終,我復詣彼慰勞看彼,彼亦不復慰勞視我,我亦不復慰勞看彼。迦葉!以此事故,我作是念:無眾生生。」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!復聽我說喻,慧者聞喻則解其義。蜱肆!猶如有人善能吹螺,若彼方土未曾聞螺聲,便往彼方,于夜闇中升高山上盡力吹螺。彼眾多人未曾聞螺聲,聞已,便念:『此為何聲?如是極妙,為甚奇特,實可愛樂,好可觀聽,令心歡悅。』時,彼眾人便共往詣善吹螺人所,到已,問曰:『此是何聲?如是極妙,為甚奇特,實可愛樂,好可觀聽,令心歡悅
現代漢語譯本:『蜱肆!如果精進修行的人能夠長壽,就會獲得大福報;如果獲得大福報,就能昇天並長壽。蜱肆!你應該這樣看待來世,不要像肉眼所見的那樣。蜱肆!如果有沙門或婆羅門斷絕了慾望,趨向于無慾;斷絕了嗔恚,趨向于無嗔;斷絕了愚癡,趨向于無癡,他們就能以清凈的天眼,超越常人,看到眾生死時和生時,看到他們美好的或醜陋的容貌,看到他們是殊勝的還是不殊勝的,看到他們往來於善處或不善處,並根據眾生所造的業,如實地看到這一切。』 蜱肆王又說:『沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖然這樣說,但我所見所說是:沒有來世,沒有眾生的出生。』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說:『蜱肆!還有比這更糟糕的嗎?』 蜱肆回答說:『是的,迦葉!還有更糟糕的。迦葉!我有一個親人病重,我去看望他,安慰他,他也安慰我;如果他去世了,我再去探望他,安慰他,他卻不能再安慰我,我也不能再安慰他。迦葉!因為這個緣故,我才認為:沒有眾生的出生。』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說:『蜱肆!你再聽我說個比喻,有智慧的人聽了比喻就能理解其中的道理。蜱肆!就像有個人很會吹海螺,如果他去到一個從未聽過海螺聲的地方,就在夜晚黑暗中登上高山,盡力吹響海螺。那裡很多人從未聽過海螺聲,聽到后,就想:『這是什麼聲音?如此美妙,如此奇特,真是可愛,好聽,令人心生歡喜。』這時,那些人就一起去尋找那個善於吹海螺的人,到了之後,就問:『這是什麼聲音?如此美妙,如此奇特,真是可愛,好聽,令人心生歡喜?』
English version: 'Pīṣa! If a person who practices diligently lives long, they will obtain great blessings; if they obtain great blessings, they will be reborn in heaven and live long. Pīṣa! You should view the afterlife in this way, not as it appears to the physical eye. Pīṣa! If there are śramaṇas or brahmins who have severed desire, who are inclined towards non-desire; who have severed anger, who are inclined towards non-anger; who have severed ignorance, who are inclined towards non-ignorance, they will, with their pure divine eye, surpass ordinary people and see beings at the time of their death and birth, see their beautiful or ugly forms, see whether they are superior or inferior, see them going to good or bad places, and according to the karma of these beings, see all of this as it truly is.' King Pīṣa then said: 'Although the śramaṇa Kumārajīva says this, I see and say that there is no afterlife, and no birth of beings.' The Venerable Kumārajīva said: 'Pīṣa! Is there anything more evil than this?' Pīṣa replied: 'Yes, Kāśyapa! There is something more evil. Kāśyapa! I had a close relative who was seriously ill. I went to see him, comforted him, and he comforted me in return. If he died, I would go to visit him again and comfort him, but he would no longer be able to comfort me, nor would I be able to comfort him. Kāśyapa! Because of this, I think that there is no birth of beings.' The Venerable Kumārajīva said: 'Pīṣa! Listen to another parable, and a wise person will understand its meaning. Pīṣa! It is like a person who is skilled at blowing a conch shell. If he goes to a place where the sound of a conch shell has never been heard, he will climb a high mountain in the darkness of night and blow the conch shell with all his might. Many people there have never heard the sound of a conch shell. Upon hearing it, they will think: 『What is this sound? It is so wonderful, so extraordinary, truly lovely, pleasant to hear, and makes the heart rejoice.』 Then, those people will go together to find the person who is skilled at blowing the conch shell. When they arrive, they will ask: 『What is this sound? It is so wonderful, so extraordinary, truly lovely, pleasant to hear, and makes the heart rejoice?』
。』善吹螺人以螺投地,語眾人曰:『諸君!當知即此螺聲。』於是,眾人以足蹴螺,而作是語:『螺可出聲,螺可出聲?寂無音響。』善吹螺人便作是念:『今此眾人愚癡不達,不善曉解,無有智慧。所以者何?乃從無知之物慾求音聲。』是時,善吹螺人還取彼螺,以水凈洗,便舉向口,盡力吹之。時,彼眾人聞已,作是念:『螺甚奇妙。所以者何?謂因手因水因口風吹,便生好聲,周滿四方。』如是,蜱肆!若人活命存者,則能言語共相慰勞,若其命終,便不能言共相慰勞。蜱肆!汝應如是觀眾生生,莫如肉眼之所見也。蜱肆!若有沙門、梵志斷絕離欲,趣向離欲,斷絕離恚,趣向離恚,斷絕離癡,趣向離癡,彼以清凈天眼出過於人,見此眾生死時、生時,好色、惡色,或妙、不妙,往來善處及不善處,隨此眾生之所作業,見其如真。」
蜱肆王復言:「沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖作是說,但我如是見,如是說:無眾生生。」
蜱肆答曰:「如是。迦葉!復更有惡。迦葉!我有右伺,收捕罪人送詣我所,到已,白曰:『天王!此人有罪,愿王治之。』我語彼曰:『取此罪人可生稱之,生稱之已,還下著地,以繩絞殺,殺已複稱
"現代漢語譯本:一個善於吹螺的人把螺扔在地上,對眾人說:『各位!應當知道這就是螺的聲音。』於是,眾人用腳踢螺,並說:『螺能發出聲音嗎?螺能發出聲音嗎?』寂靜無聲。善於吹螺的人便這樣想:『現在這些人愚蠢無知,不善於理解,沒有智慧。為什麼呢?竟然從無知的東西那裡尋求聲音。』這時,善於吹螺的人又拿起那個螺,用水洗凈,然後舉到嘴邊,盡力吹它。這時,眾人聽到了,便這樣想:『螺真是奇妙。為什麼呢?因為手、水、口風吹動,就發出美妙的聲音,傳遍四方。』就像這樣,蜱肆!如果人活著,就能說話互相安慰,如果死了,就不能說話互相安慰。蜱肆!你應該這樣觀察眾生的生,不要只看肉眼所見。蜱肆!如果有沙門、婆羅門斷絕了慾望,趨向于離欲,斷絕了嗔恚,趨向于離嗔恚,斷絕了愚癡,趨向于離愚癡,他們以清凈的天眼,超越常人,看到這些眾生死的時候、生的時候,好色、惡色,或者美妙、不美妙,往來於善處和不善處,隨著這些眾生所造的業,看到真實的情況。」 , "蜱肆王又說:『沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖然這樣說,但我就是這樣看,這樣說:沒有眾生出生。』", "尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說:『蜱肆!還有比這更惡劣的嗎?』", "蜱肆回答說:『是的。迦葉!還有更惡劣的。迦葉!我有一個右伺,負責抓捕罪人送到我這裡,到了之後,稟告說:『天王!這個人有罪,希望大王懲治他。』我告訴他們說:『把這個罪人拿去稱一下,稱完之後,放回地上,用繩子絞死,殺完之後再稱一下。』" "English version: A person skilled in blowing conch shells threw a conch shell on the ground and said to the crowd, 'Friends! You should know that this is the sound of the conch shell.' Then, the crowd kicked the conch shell with their feet and said, 'Can a conch shell make a sound? Can a conch shell make a sound?' There was no sound. The person skilled in blowing conch shells then thought, 'These people are foolish and ignorant, not good at understanding, and have no wisdom. Why is that? They are seeking sound from a thing that has no knowledge.' At this time, the person skilled in blowing conch shells picked up the conch shell again, washed it with water, and then held it to his mouth and blew it with all his might. At this time, the crowd heard it and thought, 'The conch shell is truly wonderful. Why is that? Because of the hand, water, and the wind from the mouth, it produces a beautiful sound that spreads in all directions.' Just like this, Pipi! If a person is alive, they can speak and comfort each other, but if they are dead, they cannot speak and comfort each other. Pipi! You should observe the birth of sentient beings in this way, and not just look at what the physical eyes see. Pipi!

English version: 'I want to know why this person is extremely light and soft, with a pleasant and lustrous color when alive. Is it like this when dead? Or when alive?' He accepted my teaching, took this criminal, weighed him while alive, then put him on the ground, strangled him with a rope, and weighed him again after killing him. This criminal was extremely light and soft, with a pleasant and lustrous color when alive; after this person died, the skin became thick and heavy, hard and not soft, and the color was not lustrous. Kashyapa! Because of this, I came to this thought: there is no birth of sentient beings. Venerable Kumarajiva Kashyapa said: 'Pipi! Listen to another analogy, the wise will understand its meaning when they hear it. Pipi! Like an iron ball or an iron plowshare, which is burned by fire all day, at that time, it is extremely light and soft, with a pleasant and lustrous color. If the fire goes out, it gradually cools, and becomes solidified, thick and heavy, hard and not soft, and the color is not lustrous. Just like this, Pipi! If a person is alive, the body is extremely light and soft, with a pleasant and lustrous color; if he dies, it becomes thick and heavy, hard and not soft, and the color is not lustrous. Pipi! You should observe the birth of sentient beings in this way, not as seen by the naked eye. Pipi! If there are ascetics or Brahmins who have cut off desire, inclined towards no desire, cut off hatred, inclined towards no hatred, cut off ignorance, inclined towards no ignorance, they use pure heavenly eyes, surpassing ordinary people, to see the time of death and birth of sentient beings, good colors, bad colors, or wonderful, not wonderful, going to good places and bad places, according to the karma created by these sentient beings, seeing the truth.' King Pipi said again: 'Although the ascetic Kumarajiva Kashyapa says this, I still see it this way, and say it this way: there is no birth of sentient beings.' Venerable Kumarajiva Kashyapa said: 'Pipi! Is there anything more evil than this?' Pipi replied: 'Yes. Kashyapa! There is something more evil. Kashyapa! I have a right-hand attendant who is responsible for arresting criminals and sending them to me. After arriving, he reports: 'Your Majesty! This person is guilty, I hope Your Majesty will punish him.'

尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!我今問汝,隨所解答。于意云何?若汝食好極美上饌,晝寢于床,汝頗曾憶于夢中見園觀浴池、林木華果、清泉長流,極意遊戲周旋往來耶?」
蜱肆答曰:「曾憶有之。」
迦葉復問:「若汝食好極美上饌,晝寢于床,爾時頗有直侍人不?」
答曰:「有也。」
迦葉復問:「若汝食好極美上饌,晝寢于床,當爾之時,左右直侍頗有見汝出入周旋往來時耶?」

English version: I told them, 『Take this sinner and put him upside down in an iron pot or a copper pot, seal the lid tightly, and light a fire underneath. After the fire is lit, observe the beings as they enter, exit, and move about.』 They followed my instructions, taking the sinner and putting him upside down in an iron pot or a copper pot, sealing the lid tightly, and lighting a fire underneath. After the fire was lit, they observed the beings as they entered, exited, and moved about. Kashyapa! Using this method, I did not see any beings being born. Kashyapa! Therefore, I came to the conclusion: there is no birth of beings. Venerable Kumara Kashyapa said, 『Pīlā, I will now ask you, and you should answer truthfully. What do you think? If you eat the most delicious and exquisite food and then sleep on your bed during the day, do you ever remember seeing in your dreams gardens, bathing ponds, trees with flowers and fruits, clear streams flowing, and enjoying yourself playing and moving about?』 Pīlā replied, 『I do remember having such experiences.』 Kashyapa asked again, 『If you eat the most delicious and exquisite food and then sleep on your bed during the day, are there attendants serving you at that time?』 He replied, 『Yes, there are.』 Kashyapa asked again, 『If you eat the most delicious and exquisite food and then sleep on your bed during the day, at that time, do the attendants around you see you coming and going?』 Pīlā replied, 『Even other people cannot see it, let alone the attendants around me.』 『Pīlā! You should observe the birth of beings in this way, not as it appears to the physical eye. Pīlā! If there are ascetics or Brahmins who have severed desire, tending towards non-desire; severed hatred, tending towards non-hatred; severed delusion, tending towards non-delusion, they, with their pure divine eye, surpassing ordinary people, see these beings at the time of death and at the time of birth, good forms and bad forms, beautiful and not beautiful, going to good places and bad places, and according to the actions of these beings, they see the truth.』

This person is guilty, please punish him.』 I tell them, 『Take this criminal, peel off his skin, remove his flesh, cut his tendons, break his bones, even to the marrow, and seek the birth of beings.』 They follow my instructions, take this criminal, peel off his skin, remove his flesh, cut his tendons, break his bones, even to the marrow, and seek the birth of beings. Kāśyapa! I seek the birth of beings in this way, but I do not see the birth of beings. Kāśyapa! Therefore, I think: there is no birth of beings.' The Venerable Kumārakāśyapa said, 'Pīṣa! Listen to my parable, the wise will understand its meaning. Pīṣa! It is like a fire-worshipping, braided-hair Brahmin living near a road. Not far from him, merchants stayed overnight. When the merchants left early the next morning, they forgot a small child. Then, the fire-worshipping, braided-hair Brahmin got up early and inspected the place where the merchants had stayed. He saw a small child alone, without anyone to rely on. Seeing this, he thought, 『Now this child has no one to rely on. If I don』t raise him, he will surely die.』 So he picked him up, took him back to his place, and raised him. The child grew up, and his faculties matured. At that time, the fire-worshipping, braided-hair Brahmin had some small business in the human world, so he instructed the young man, 『I have some small business and will be out for a while. You must tend the fire and not let it go out. If the fire goes out, you can use this fire drill to get fire.』 'At that time, after the fire-worshipping, braided-hair Brahmin had given his instructions, he went to the human world. Later, the young man went out to play, and the fire went out.'
。彼還求火,即取火鉆以用打地,而作是語:『火出,火出。』火竟不出,復于石上加力打之:『火出,火出。』火亦不出。火既不出,便破火鉆十片、百片,棄去坐地,愁惱而言:『不能得火,當如之何?』
「是時,事火編髮梵志彼於人間所作已訖,還歸本處,到已,問曰:『年少!汝不遊戲隨視種火,不令滅耶?』年少白曰:『尊者!我出遊戲,火后遂滅,我還求火。即取火鉆以用打地而作是語:「火出,火出。」火竟不出。復于石上加力打之:「火出,火出。」火亦不出。火既不出,便破火鉆十片、百片,棄去坐地。尊者!我如是求,不能得火,當如之何?』
「爾時,事火編髮梵志便作是念:『今此年少甚癡不達,不善曉解,無有智慧。所以者何?從無知火鉆作如是意求索火耶?』於是,事火編髮梵志取燥火鉆火母,著地而以鉆之,即便火出,轉轉熾盛,語年少曰:『年少!求火法應如是,不應如汝愚癡不達,無有智慧,從無知火鉆作如是意求索於火。』當知蜱肆亦復如是,愚癡不達,不善曉解,無有智慧,于無知死肉乃至骨髓求眾生生。蜱肆!汝應如是觀眾生生,莫如肉眼之所見也
現代漢語譯本:他接著尋找火,就拿起火鉆敲擊地面,並說道:『出火,出火。』火最終沒有出來,他又在石頭上用力敲打:『出火,出火。』火仍然沒有出來。火既然沒有出來,他就把火鉆打碎了十幾片、上百片,扔掉後坐在地上,愁悶地說:『不能得到火,該怎麼辦呢?』 這時,負責祭火的編髮梵志在人間所做的事情已經完成,返回到他原來的地方,到了之後,問道:『年輕人!你沒有玩耍,而是看著火種,不讓它熄滅嗎?』年輕人回答說:『尊者!我出去玩耍,火後來就熄滅了,我回來尋找火。就拿起火鉆敲擊地面,並說道:「出火,出火。」火最終沒有出來。我又在石頭上用力敲打:「出火,出火。」火仍然沒有出來。火既然沒有出來,我就把火鉆打碎了十幾片、上百片,扔掉後坐在地上。尊者!我這樣尋找,不能得到火,該怎麼辦呢?』 當時,負責祭火的編髮梵志就產生這樣的想法:『這個年輕人真是愚癡不通,不善於理解,沒有智慧。為什麼呢?從沒有火的火鉆中產生這樣的想法來尋求火嗎?』於是,負責祭火的編髮梵志拿起乾燥的火鉆和火母,放在地上鉆,立刻就出火了,火勢越來越旺盛,他告訴年輕人說:『年輕人!求火的方法應該像這樣,不應該像你這樣愚癡不通,沒有智慧,從沒有火的火鉆中產生這樣的想法來尋求火。』應當知道,蜱肆也是這樣,愚癡不通,不善於理解,沒有智慧,從沒有生命的死肉乃至骨髓中尋求眾生的生命。蜱肆!你應該這樣觀察眾生的生命,不要像肉眼所看到的那樣。
English version: He then sought fire, and took a fire drill to strike the ground, saying, 'Fire come out, fire come out.' But the fire did not come out. He then struck the stone with force, saying, 'Fire come out, fire come out.' Still, the fire did not come out. Since the fire did not come out, he broke the fire drill into ten or a hundred pieces, threw them away, and sat on the ground, worried and saying, 'I cannot get fire, what should I do?' At that time, the fire-worshipping braided-hair Brahmin, having completed his work in the human world, returned to his original place. Upon arriving, he asked, 'Young man! Did you not play around but watch the fire seed, not letting it go out?' The young man replied, 'Venerable one! I went out to play, and the fire later went out. I returned to seek fire. I took the fire drill to strike the ground, saying, 「Fire come out, fire come out.」 But the fire did not come out. I then struck the stone with force, saying, 「Fire come out, fire come out.」 Still, the fire did not come out. Since the fire did not come out, I broke the fire drill into ten or a hundred pieces, and threw them away, sitting on the ground. Venerable one! I seek like this, but cannot get fire, what should I do?' At that time, the fire-worshipping braided-hair Brahmin had this thought: 'This young man is very foolish and ignorant, not good at understanding, and has no wisdom. Why is that? Is he seeking fire with such an intention from a fire drill that has no fire?' Thereupon, the fire-worshipping braided-hair Brahmin took a dry fire drill and fire mother, placed them on the ground and drilled, and immediately fire came out, growing more and more intense. He said to the young man, 'Young man! The method of seeking fire should be like this, not like your foolish and ignorant way, without wisdom, seeking fire with such an intention from a fire drill that has no fire.' Know that the tick-like person is also like this, foolish and ignorant, not good at understanding, without wisdom, seeking the life of beings from lifeless dead flesh and even bone marrow. Tick-like person! You should observe the life of beings in this way, not as seen by the physical eye.
蜱肆王復言:「沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖作是說,但我此見欲取、恚取、怖取、癡取,終不能捨。所以者何?若有他國異人聞之,便作是說:『蜱肆王有見長夜受持,彼為沙門鳩摩羅迦葉之所降伏、所治、斷舍。』迦葉!是故我此見欲取、恚取、怖取、癡取,終不能捨。」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!聽我說喻,慧者聞喻則解其義。蜱肆!猶如朋友二人舍家治生,彼行道時,初見有麻甚多無主,一人見已,便語伴曰:『汝當知之,今此有麻甚多無主,我欲與汝共取,自重而擔,還歸可得資用。』便取重擔。彼于道路復見多有劫貝紗縷及劫貝衣甚多無主。復見多銀亦無有主。一人見已,便棄麻擔取銀自重。復于道路見多金聚而無有主。時,擔銀人語擔麻者:『汝今當知,此金極多而無有主,汝可舍麻,我舍銀擔,我欲與汝共取此金,重擔而歸,可得供用。』彼擔麻者語擔銀人:『我此麻擔已好,裝治縛束已堅,從遠擔來,我不能捨,汝且自知,勿憂我也
現代漢語譯本:蜱肆!如果有一些沙門或婆羅門斷絕了對慾望的執著,趨向于離欲;斷絕了對嗔恨的執著,趨向于離嗔;斷絕了對愚癡的執著,趨向于離癡,他們會以清凈的天眼,超越常人,看到眾生死時和生時的情景,包括好壞美醜,以及他們往生善處或惡處,並能如實地看到眾生所造的業報。 蜱肆王又說:『沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖然這樣說,但我執著于慾望、嗔恨、恐懼和愚癡的見解,終究不能捨棄。為什麼呢?如果其他國家的人聽說了,就會說:『蜱肆王長期以來堅持的見解,被沙門鳩摩羅迦葉降伏、糾正、斷除了。』迦葉!因此,我執著于慾望、嗔恨、恐懼和愚癡的見解,終究不能捨棄。』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說:『蜱肆!聽我說個比喻,有智慧的人聽了比喻就能明白其中的道理。蜱肆!就像兩個朋友離開家鄉去謀生,他們在路上,最初看到很多無主的麻,其中一個人看到后,就對同伴說:『你要知道,這裡有很多無主的麻,我想和你一起拿走,自己揹著,回去后可以用來生活。』於是就拿了很重的麻。他們在路上又看到很多無主的木棉紗線和木棉衣服。又看到很多無主的銀子。其中一個人看到后,就扔掉麻,拿了銀子自己揹著。他們在路上又看到很多無主的金子。這時,揹著銀子的人對揹著麻的人說:『你現在應該知道,這裡的金子很多而且無主,你可以扔掉麻,我扔掉銀子,我想和你一起拿走這些金子,揹回去後可以用來生活。』但揹著麻的人對揹著銀子的人說:『我這麻已經很好,整理捆綁得很結實,從很遠的地方背來,我不能扔掉,你自己看著辦吧,不用擔心我。』
English version: 'Pīṣa! If there are some śramaṇas or brahmins who have severed their attachment to desire, tending towards detachment; severed their attachment to hatred, tending towards non-hatred; severed their attachment to delusion, tending towards non-delusion, they, with their pure divine eye, surpassing ordinary people, see the passing away and rebirth of beings, including good and bad appearances, and whether they go to good or bad realms, and they truly see the karmic results of beings' actions.' King Pīṣa then said, 'Although the śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa speaks thus, I cannot abandon my views of attachment to desire, hatred, fear, and delusion. Why is that? If people from other countries hear of it, they will say, 'King Pīṣa's long-held views have been subdued, corrected, and abandoned by the śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa.' Kāśyapa! Therefore, I cannot abandon my views of attachment to desire, hatred, fear, and delusion.' The Venerable Kumārakāśyapa said, 'Pīṣa! Listen to my parable, and the wise will understand its meaning. Pīṣa! It is like two friends who leave their homes to make a living. On their journey, they first see a lot of ownerless hemp. One of them, seeing it, says to his companion, 'You should know that there is a lot of ownerless hemp here. I want to take it with you, carry it ourselves, and when we return, we can use it for our livelihood.' So he takes a heavy load of hemp. On the road, they see a lot of ownerless kapok yarn and kapok clothing. They also see a lot of ownerless silver. One of them, seeing it, throws away the hemp and takes the silver to carry himself. On the road, they see a lot of ownerless gold. Then, the one carrying the silver says to the one carrying the hemp, 'You should know that there is a lot of gold here and it is ownerless. You can throw away the hemp, and I will throw away the silver. I want to take this gold with you, and when we return, we can use it for our livelihood.' But the one carrying the hemp says to the one carrying the silver, 'My hemp is already good, well-arranged and tightly bound. I have carried it from far away, I cannot throw it away. You do what you think is best, don't worry about me.'
。』於是,擔銀人強奪麻擔,撲著于地而𢱍壞之。彼擔麻者語擔銀人:『汝已如是𢱍壞我擔,我此麻擔縛束已堅,所來處遠,我要自欲擔此麻歸,終不捨之,汝且自知,勿憂我也。』
「彼擔銀人即舍銀擔,便自取金重擔而還。擔金人歸,父母遙見擔金來歸,見已,嘆曰:『善來,賢子!快來,賢子!汝因是金快得生活,供養父母,供給妻子、奴婢、使人,復可佈施沙門、梵志,作福升上,善果善報,生天長壽。』彼擔麻者還歸其家,父母遙見擔麻來歸,見已,罵曰:『汝罪人來,無德人來,汝因此麻,不得生活、供養父母、供給妻子奴婢使人,又亦不得佈施沙門及諸梵志,作福升上,善果善報,生天長壽。』當知蜱肆亦復如是,若汝此見欲取、恚取、怖取、癡取,終不捨者,汝便當受無量之惡,亦為眾人之所增惡。」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆,復聽我說喻,慧者聞喻則解其義。蜱肆!猶如商人與其大眾,有千乘車,行饑儉道
"於是,那個扛銀子的人就強行搶奪麻袋,把它摔在地上弄壞了。扛麻的人對扛銀子的人說:『你既然已經這樣弄壞了我的麻袋,我這麻袋捆得很結實,而且是從很遠的地方來的,我一定要自己扛著這麻袋回去,絕對不會放棄它,你自己看著辦吧,不用為我擔心。』", "那個扛銀子的人就放棄了銀子,自己拿了一個很重的金子擔子回去了。扛金子的人回到家,父母遠遠地看見他扛著金子回來了,看到后,感嘆地說:『好啊,我的好兒子!快來,我的好兒子!你因為這些金子可以很快地生活富裕,供養父母,供給妻子、奴婢、僕人,還可以佈施給僧人和婆羅門,積福昇天,得到好的果報,長壽。』那個扛麻的人回到家,父母遠遠地看見他扛著麻回來了,看到后,罵道:『你這個罪人來了,沒用的東西來了,你因為這些麻,不能生活富裕,不能供養父母,不能供給妻子、奴婢、僕人,也不能佈施給僧人和婆羅門,積福昇天,得到好的果報,長壽。』你們要知道,執著于自己的見解也是這樣,如果你執著于這種貪慾的見解、嗔恨的見解、恐懼的見解、愚癡的見解,始終不肯放棄,你就會遭受無量的惡報,也會被眾人所憎惡。」, "蜱肆王又說:『沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖然這樣說,但是我這種貪慾的見解、嗔恨的見解、恐懼的見解、愚癡的見解,始終不能放棄。為什麼呢?如果其他國家的人聽說了,就會說:『蜱肆王長期堅持自己的見解,卻被沙門鳩摩羅迦葉降伏、制服、斷除了。』迦葉!因此我這種貪慾的見解、嗔恨的見解、恐懼的見解、愚癡的見解,始終不能放棄。』", "尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說:『蜱肆,你再聽我說個比喻,有智慧的人聽了比喻就會明白其中的道理。蜱肆!就像商人帶著他的隊伍,有上千輛車,走在饑荒的道路上。" "Then, the silver carrier forcibly seized the hemp load, threw it to the ground, and broke it. The hemp carrier said to the silver carrier, 'Since you have broken my load like this, my hemp load is tightly bound, and it came from a far place. I want to carry this hemp back myself and will not give it up. You should know this yourself and not worry about me.'", "The silver carrier then abandoned the silver load and took a heavy gold load instead and returned. When the gold carrier returned home, his parents saw him carrying gold from afar. Upon seeing him, they exclaimed, 'Welcome, my virtuous son! Come quickly, my virtuous son! Because of this gold, you will quickly become prosperous, support your parents, provide for your wife, servants, and maids, and also give alms to monks and Brahmins, accumulate merit for ascension, good results, good rewards, and long life in heaven.' When the hemp carrier returned home, his parents saw him carrying hemp from afar. Upon seeing him, they scolded him, 'You sinner, you worthless person! Because of this hemp, you cannot live prosperously, support your parents, provide for your wife, servants, and maids, nor can you give alms to monks and Brahmins, accumulate merit for ascension, good results, good rewards, and long life in heaven.' You should know that clinging to one's views is also like this. If you cling to these views of desire, hatred, fear, and ignorance, and never give them up, you will suffer immeasurable evil consequences and be hated by everyone.", "King Pīṭhasarpin said again, 'Although the Śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa says this, I cannot give up these views of desire, hatred, fear, and ignorance. Why? If people from other countries hear of it, they will say, 'King Pīṭhasarpin has held onto his views for a long time, but he was subdued, controlled, and abandoned by the Śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa.' Kāśyapa! Therefore, I cannot give up these views of desire, hatred, fear, and ignorance.'", "The Venerable Kumārakāśyapa said, 'Pīṭhasarpin, listen to another parable. A wise person will understand the meaning of the parable. Pīṭhasarpin! It is like a merchant with his group, having a thousand carts, traveling on a famine-stricken road.'"
。此大眾中而有兩主,彼作是念:『我等何因得脫此難?』復作是念:『我此大眾應分為兩部,部各五百。』彼商人眾便分為兩部,部各五百。於是,一商人主將五百乘至饑儉道,彼商人主常在前導,見有一人從傍道來,衣服盡濕,身黑頭黃,兩眼極赤,著蘅華鬘而乘驢車,泥著兩𨍉,彼商人主見,便問曰:『饑儉道中有天雨不?彼有新水、樵及草耶?』彼人答曰:『饑儉道中天降大雨,極有新水乃饒樵、草。諸賢!汝等可舍故水、樵、草,莫令乘乏,汝等不久當得新水及好樵、草。』
「彼商人主聞已即還,詣諸商人而告之曰:『我在前行,見有一人從傍道來,衣服盡濕,身黑頭黃,兩眼極赤,著蘅華鬘而乘驢車,泥著兩𨍉。我問彼曰:「饑儉道中有天雨不?彼有新水、樵及草耶?」彼答我曰:「饑儉道中天降大雨,極有新水乃饒樵、草。諸賢!汝等可舍故水、樵、草,莫令乘乏,汝等不久當得新水及好樵、草。」諸商人!我等可舍故水、樵、草,如是不久當得新水、樵、草,莫令乘乏。』彼商人等即便棄捨故水、樵、草,一日行道不得新水、樵、草,二日、三日,乃至七日行道,猶故不得新水、樵、草,過七日已,為食人鬼之所殺害
現代漢語譯本:這群人中有兩個首領,他們心中想著:『我們怎樣才能擺脫這個困境?』又想著:『我們這群人應該分成兩隊,每隊五百人。』於是,這群商人就分成了兩隊,每隊五百人。接著,一個商人首領帶領五百人前往饑荒之路。這個商人首領走在前面,看到一個人從旁邊的小路過來,衣服都濕透了,面板黝黑,頭髮發黃,兩眼通紅,戴著蘅花做的花環,乘坐著驢車,車輪上沾滿了泥巴。這個商人首領看見后,就問:『饑荒之路上下過雨嗎?那裡有新水、柴火和草嗎?』那人回答說:『饑荒之路上下了大雨,有很多新水,而且柴火和草也很多。各位!你們可以捨棄舊的水、柴火和草,不要讓牲畜疲憊,你們不久就能得到新水和好的柴火、草。』 那個商人首領聽了之後就返回,去見其他商人,告訴他們說:『我走在前面,看到一個人從旁邊的小路過來,衣服都濕透了,面板黝黑,頭髮發黃,兩眼通紅,戴著蘅花做的花環,乘坐著驢車,車輪上沾滿了泥巴。我問他:「饑荒之路上下過雨嗎?那裡有新水、柴火和草嗎?」他回答我說:「饑荒之路上下了大雨,有很多新水,而且柴火和草也很多。各位!你們可以捨棄舊的水、柴火和草,不要讓牲畜疲憊,你們不久就能得到新水和好的柴火、草。」各位商人!我們可以捨棄舊的水、柴火和草,這樣不久就能得到新水、柴火和草,不要讓牲畜疲憊。』那些商人就立刻拋棄了舊的水、柴火和草,走了一天沒有得到新水、柴火和草,兩天、三天,甚至七天都沒有得到新水、柴火和草。過了七天之後,就被食人鬼殺害了。
English version: Among this group of people, there were two leaders. They thought to themselves, 'How can we escape this difficulty?' They also thought, 'This group of us should be divided into two teams, each with five hundred people.' So, the group of merchants divided into two teams, each with five hundred people. Then, one merchant leader led five hundred people towards the famine road. This merchant leader walked ahead and saw a person coming from a side path, his clothes completely wet, his skin dark, his hair yellow, his eyes extremely red, wearing a garland of asarum flowers, riding a donkey cart, with mud caked on the wheels. When the merchant leader saw him, he asked, 'Has it rained on the famine road? Is there fresh water, firewood, and grass there?' The person replied, 'It has rained heavily on the famine road, there is plenty of fresh water, and there is also a lot of firewood and grass. Gentlemen! You can discard your old water, firewood, and grass, so that your animals will not be exhausted. You will soon get fresh water and good firewood and grass.' After hearing this, the merchant leader returned to see the other merchants and told them, 'I walked ahead and saw a person coming from a side path, his clothes completely wet, his skin dark, his hair yellow, his eyes extremely red, wearing a garland of asarum flowers, riding a donkey cart, with mud caked on the wheels. I asked him, 「Has it rained on the famine road? Is there fresh water, firewood, and grass there?」 He replied, 「It has rained heavily on the famine road, there is plenty of fresh water, and there is also a lot of firewood and grass. Gentlemen! You can discard your old water, firewood, and grass, so that your animals will not be exhausted. You will soon get fresh water and good firewood and grass.」 Fellow merchants! We can discard our old water, firewood, and grass, and soon we will get fresh water, firewood, and grass, so that our animals will not be exhausted.' Those merchants immediately discarded their old water, firewood, and grass. They traveled for one day without getting fresh water, firewood, or grass, then two days, three days, and even seven days without getting fresh water, firewood, or grass. After seven days, they were killed by flesh-eating demons.

。第二商人主在前行時,見前第一商人主及諸商人為食人鬼之所殺害,第二商人主見已,語諸商人:『汝等看前商人主愚癡不達,不善曉解,無有智慧,既自殺身,復殺諸人。汝等商人若欲取前諸商人物,自恣取之。』當知蜱肆亦復如是。若汝此見欲取、恚取、怖取、癡取,終不捨者,汝便當受無量之惡,亦為眾人之所憎惡,猶前第一商人之主及諸商人。」

現代漢語譯本:第二個商隊首領在前進時,看到之前的第一個商隊首領和眾商人被食人鬼殺害。第二個商隊首領看到后,對眾商人說:『你們看之前的商隊首領多麼愚蠢,不通事理,沒有智慧,既害了自己,又害了眾人。你們這些商人如果想拿走之前那些商人的財物,就隨意拿吧。』要知道,蜱肆王的情況也是如此。如果你執著于這種貪慾、嗔恨、恐懼、愚癡的見解,始終不肯放棄,你就會遭受無量的惡報,也會被眾人憎恨,就像之前的第一個商隊首領和眾商人一樣。 蜱肆王又說:『沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖然這樣說,但我這種貪慾、嗔恨、恐懼、愚癡的見解,終究不能捨棄。為什麼呢?如果其他國家的人聽說了,就會說:『蜱肆王長期堅持的見解,被沙門鳩摩羅迦葉降伏、治理、斷除了。』迦葉!因此,我這種貪慾、嗔恨、恐懼、愚癡的見解,終究不能捨棄。』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說道:『蜱肆!你再聽我說個比喻,有智慧的人聽了比喻就能明白其中的道理。蜱肆!比如有兩個人約定玩擲骰子的遊戲,第一個玩的人偷偷地吃骰子,吃了一個、兩個、三個,甚至很多個。第二個玩的人就想:『和這個人玩,他總是欺騙我,偷吃骰子,可能吃了一個、兩個、三個,甚至很多個。』想到這裡,就對同伴說:『我現在想休息一下,以後再玩。』於是,第二個玩的人離開了那個地方,就用毒藥塗在骰子上,塗好后就回來,對同伴說:『可以來一起玩了。』於是就來一起玩。第一個玩的人又偷吃骰子,吃了一個、兩個、三個,甚至很多個,吃完骰子后,就眼睛翻白,口吐白沫,快要死了。
English version: The second merchant leader, while proceeding, saw that the first merchant leader and all the merchants had been killed by cannibals. Upon seeing this, the second merchant leader said to the other merchants, 『Look how foolish and ignorant the previous merchant leader was, lacking wisdom. He not only killed himself but also killed all of you. If you merchants wish to take the possessions of the previous merchants, take them as you please.』 Know that the situation of King Pīṣī is also like this. If you cling to these views of desire, hatred, fear, and delusion, and never abandon them, you will suffer immeasurable evil consequences and be hated by everyone, just like the first merchant leader and his merchants. King Pīṣī then said, 『Although the Śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa speaks in this way, I cannot abandon these views of desire, hatred, fear, and delusion. Why? If people from other countries hear of it, they will say, 『King Pīṣī, who has long held these views, has been subdued, controlled, and had them cut off by the Śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa.』 Kāśyapa! Therefore, I cannot abandon these views of desire, hatred, fear, and delusion.』 The Venerable Kumārakāśyapa replied, 『Pīṣī! Listen again to my parable, and the wise will understand its meaning. Pīṣī! Suppose two people agree to play a dice game. The first player secretly eats the dice, eating one, two, three, or even many. The second player thinks, 『When I play with this person, he always cheats me and steals the dice, eating one, two, three, or even many.』 Having thought this, he says to his companion, 『I want to rest now, we can play later.』 Then, the second player leaves that place and applies poison to the dice. After applying it, he returns and says to his companion, 『Let』s play together.』 So they play together. The first player again steals and eats the dice, eating one, two, three, or even many. After eating the dice, his eyes roll back, he foams at the mouth, and he is about to die.』
。於是,第二戲者向第一戲人即說頌曰:
「『此䴵毒藥涂, 汝貪食不覺, 坐為䴵欺我, 后必致苦患。』
「當知蜱肆亦復如是,若汝此見欲取、恚取、怖取、癡取,終不捨者,汝便當受無量之惡,亦為眾人之所憎惡,猶如戲人為䴵欺他,還自得殃。」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!復聽我說喻,慧者聞喻則解其義。蜱肆!猶養豬人,彼行路時,見有熇糞甚多無主,便作是念:『此糞可以養飽多豬,我寧可取自重而去。』即取負去,彼于中道遇天大雨,糞液流漫,澆污其身,故負持去,終不棄捨,彼則自受無量之惡,亦為眾人之所憎惡。當知蜱肆亦復如是,若汝此見欲取、恚取、怖取、癡取,終不捨者,汝便當受無量之惡,亦為眾人之所憎惡,猶養豬人。」
蜱肆王復言:「沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖作是說,但我此見欲取、恚取、怖取、癡取,終不能捨
現代漢語譯本:於是,第二個表演者對第一個表演者說了這樣一首偈語:『這上面塗了毒藥,你貪吃卻沒察覺,因為貪吃欺騙了我,之後必定會遭受痛苦。』 『你要知道,執著于自己的見解也是如此。如果你執著于貪慾、嗔恨、恐懼和愚癡的見解,始終不肯放棄,你就會遭受無量的惡報,也會被眾人憎惡,就像那個表演者因為貪吃而欺騙了別人,最終自己遭殃一樣。』 蜱肆王又說:『沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖然這樣說,但我執著于貪慾、嗔恨、恐懼和愚癡的見解,始終不能放棄。為什麼呢?如果其他國家的人聽說了,就會說:『蜱肆王長期堅持自己的見解,他被沙門鳩摩羅迦葉降伏、教化、斷除。』迦葉!因此,我執著于貪慾、嗔恨、恐懼和愚癡的見解,始終不能放棄。』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說:『蜱肆!你再聽我說個比喻,有智慧的人聽了比喻就能明白其中的道理。蜱肆!就像一個養豬的人,他在路上走的時候,看到很多無主的糞便,就想:『這些糞便可以餵飽很多豬,我不如拿回去。』於是就揹著糞便走了。他在半路上遇到大雨,糞便的汁液流出來,弄髒了他的身體,但他還是揹著不肯丟棄。他因此遭受了無量的惡報,也被眾人憎惡。你要知道,執著于自己的見解也是如此。如果你執著于貪慾、嗔恨、恐懼和愚癡的見解,始終不肯放棄,你就會遭受無量的惡報,也會被眾人憎惡,就像那個背糞的人一樣。』 蜱肆王又說:『沙門鳩摩羅迦葉雖然這樣說,但我執著于貪慾、嗔恨、恐懼和愚癡的見解,始終不能放棄。』
English version: Then, the second performer spoke this verse to the first performer: 『This is smeared with poison, you greedily eat it without realizing, because of your greed you deceived me, and you will surely suffer later.』 『You should know that clinging to one's own views is also like this. If you cling to views of desire, hatred, fear, and ignorance, and never give them up, you will suffer immeasurable evil consequences and be hated by everyone, just like that performer who deceived others because of greed and ultimately suffered himself.』 King Pīṭhasarpin then said: 『Although the Śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa says this, I cannot give up my clinging to views of desire, hatred, fear, and ignorance. Why? If people from other countries hear about it, they will say: 『King Pīṭhasarpin has long held onto his views, and he has been subdued, taught, and had them cut off by the Śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa.』 Kāśyapa! Therefore, I cannot give up my clinging to views of desire, hatred, fear, and ignorance.』 The Venerable Kumārakāśyapa said: 『Pīṭhasarpin! Listen to another analogy, and a wise person will understand its meaning. Pīṭhasarpin! It is like a pig farmer who, while walking on the road, sees a lot of ownerless manure and thinks: 『This manure can feed many pigs, I might as well take it back.』 So he carries the manure away. On the way, he encounters heavy rain, and the liquid from the manure flows out, soiling his body, but he still carries it without discarding it. He thus suffers immeasurable evil consequences and is hated by everyone. You should know that clinging to one's own views is also like this. If you cling to views of desire, hatred, fear, and ignorance, and never give them up, you will suffer immeasurable evil consequences and be hated by everyone, just like that person carrying manure.』 King Pīṭhasarpin then said: 『Although the Śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa says this, I cannot give up my clinging to views of desire, hatred, fear, and ignorance.』
。所以者何?若有他國異人聞之,便作是說:『蜱肆王有見長夜受持,彼為沙門鳩摩羅迦葉之所降伏、所治、斷舍。』迦葉!是故我此見欲取、恚取、怖取、癡取,終不能捨。」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!復聽我說最後譬喻,若汝知者,善;若不知者,我不復說法。蜱肆!猶如大豬為五百豬王,行險難道。彼于中路遇見一虎,豬見虎已,便作是念:『若與斗者,虎必殺我;若畏走者,然諸親族便輕慢我。不知今當以何方便得脫此難?』作是念已,而語虎曰:『若欲斗者,便可共鬥;若不爾者,借我道過。』彼虎聞已,便語豬曰:『聽汝共鬥,不借汝道。』豬復語曰:『虎!汝小住,待我被著祖父時鎧,還當共戰。』彼虎聞已,而作是念:『彼非我敵,況祖父鎧耶?』便語豬曰:『隨汝所欲。』豬即還至本廁處所,婉轉糞中,涂身至眼已,便往至虎所,語曰:『汝欲斗者便可共鬥;若不爾者,借我道過。』虎見豬已,復作是念:『我常不食雜小蟲者,以惜牙故,況復當近此臭豬耶?』虎念是已,便語豬曰:『我借汝道,不與汝斗
現代漢語譯本:這是為什麼呢?如果其他國家的異人聽說了這件事,就會這樣說:『蜱肆王曾經長期堅持某種見解,但他被沙門鳩摩羅迦葉降伏、制服,並最終放棄了那些見解。』迦葉!因此,我這些見解,無論是欲取、恚取、怖取還是癡取,最終都無法捨棄。 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說道:『蜱肆!你再聽我說最後一個比喻,如果你能理解,那就好;如果你不能理解,我就不再說法了。蜱肆!就像一隻大豬是五百隻豬的首領,它走在危險的道路上。它在半路遇到了一隻老虎,豬看到老虎后,就想:『如果和它搏鬥,老虎一定會殺了我;如果害怕逃跑,我的親族就會輕視我。現在不知道用什麼辦法才能擺脫這個困境?』想到這裡,它就對老虎說:『如果想打,就來打吧;如果不想打,就讓我過去。』老虎聽了,就對豬說:『我聽你打,不讓你過去。』豬又說:『老虎!你稍等一下,等我穿上我祖父的鎧甲,再來和你戰鬥。』老虎聽了,心想:『它不是我的對手,更何況是祖父的鎧甲呢?』就對豬說:『隨你的便。』豬就回到原來的廁所,在糞便中打滾,把全身塗滿糞便直到眼睛,然後就走到老虎那裡,說:『你想打就來打吧;如果不想打,就讓我過去。』老虎看到豬后,又想:『我平時都不吃那些雜蟲,是爲了保護我的牙齒,更何況是靠近這隻臭豬呢?』老虎想到這裡,就對豬說:『我讓你過去,不和你打。』
English version: Why is that? If people from other countries hear of this, they will say: 『King Pīṭhasarpin had long held certain views, but he was subdued, controlled, and ultimately abandoned those views by the Śramaṇa Kumārakāśyapa.』 Kāśyapa! Therefore, these views of mine, whether they are desire-grasping, anger-grasping, fear-grasping, or delusion-grasping, I will ultimately not be able to abandon them. The Venerable Kumārakāśyapa said: 『Pīṭhasarpin! Listen to my last parable, if you understand it, that's good; if you don't understand it, I will not speak further. Pīṭhasarpin! It's like a large boar who is the king of five hundred boars, traveling on a dangerous road. He meets a tiger on the way, and upon seeing the tiger, the boar thinks: 『If I fight it, the tiger will surely kill me; if I run away in fear, my relatives will look down on me. I don't know how to escape this predicament?』 Having thought this, he says to the tiger: 『If you want to fight, then fight; if you don't want to fight, let me pass.』 The tiger, upon hearing this, says to the boar: 『I will fight you, I will not let you pass.』 The boar then says: 『Tiger! Wait a moment, let me put on my grandfather's armor, and then I will fight you.』 The tiger, upon hearing this, thinks: 『He is no match for me, let alone his grandfather's armor?』 and says to the boar: 『As you wish.』 The boar then returns to his original toilet, rolls around in the dung, covers his entire body with dung up to his eyes, and then goes to the tiger, saying: 『If you want to fight, then fight; if you don't want to fight, let me pass.』 The tiger, upon seeing the boar, thinks: 『I usually don't eat those miscellaneous insects, to protect my teeth, let alone get close to this stinky boar?』 Having thought this, the tiger says to the boar: 『I will let you pass, I will not fight you.』
。』豬得過已,則還向虎而說頌曰:
「『虎汝有四足, 我亦有四足, 汝來共我鬥, 何意怖而走?』
「時,虎聞已,亦復說頌而答豬曰:
「『汝毛豎森森, 諸畜中下極, 豬汝可速去, 糞臭不可堪。』
「時,豬自誇復說頌曰:
「『摩竭鴦二國, 聞我共汝鬥, 汝來共我戰, 何以怖而走?』
「虎聞此已,復說頌曰:
「『舉身毛皆污, 豬汝臭熏我, 汝斗欲求勝, 我今與汝勝。』」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!我亦如是,若汝此見欲取、恚取、怖取、癡取,終不捨者,汝便自受無量之惡,亦為眾人之所憎惡,猶如彼虎與豬勝也。」
蜱肆王聞已,白曰:「尊者!初說日月喻時,我聞即解,歡喜奉受,然我欲從尊者鳩摩羅迦葉求上覆上妙智所說,是故我向問復問耳。我今自歸尊者鳩摩羅迦葉。」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!汝莫歸我,我所歸佛,汝亦應歸。」
蜱肆王白曰:「尊者!我今自歸佛、法及比丘眾,愿尊者鳩摩羅迦葉為佛受我為優婆塞,從今日始,終身自歸,乃至命盡。尊者鳩摩羅迦葉!我從今日始行佈施修福
現代漢語譯本:豬得意忘形之後,就轉而向老虎誇耀,並說道: 『老虎你有四條腿,我也有四條腿,你來和我打一架,為什麼害怕逃跑呢?』 當時,老虎聽了這話,也用詩歌回答豬說: 『你渾身毛髮豎立,在所有動物中是最下等的,豬你快走吧,你身上的糞臭味實在讓人難以忍受。』 當時,豬自我誇耀,又用詩歌說道: 『摩竭和鴦伽兩國,都聽說我要和你打架,你來和我戰鬥,為什麼害怕逃跑呢?』 老虎聽了這話,又用詩歌說道: 『你全身都沾滿了污垢,豬你身上的臭味熏到我了,你想要通過戰鬥來求勝,我現在就和你一決勝負。』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告誡說:『蜱肆!我也是這樣,如果你執著于這種想要獲取、嗔恨、恐懼、愚癡的想法,始終不肯放棄,你就會自食其果,遭受無量的惡報,也會被眾人所憎惡,就像那隻老虎和豬爭鬥一樣。』 蜱肆王聽了這話,說道:『尊者!您最初說日月比喻的時候,我聽了就明白了,歡喜接受,但我還想從尊者鳩摩羅迦葉這裡求得更高深的智慧,所以才一再發問。我現在皈依尊者鳩摩羅迦葉。』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告誡說:『蜱肆!你不要皈依我,我所皈依的是佛,你也應該皈依。』 蜱肆王說道:『尊者!我現在皈依佛、法和僧眾,愿尊者鳩摩羅迦葉為佛接受我成為優婆塞,從今天開始,終身皈依,直到生命結束。尊者鳩摩羅迦葉!我從今天開始行佈施,修福德。』
English version: The pig, having become complacent, then turned to boast to the tiger, saying: 'Tiger, you have four legs, and I also have four legs. Come and fight with me, why are you afraid and running away?' At that time, the tiger, having heard these words, also replied to the pig with a verse: 'Your hair stands on end, you are the lowest among all animals. Pig, you should leave quickly, the stench of your dung is unbearable.' At that time, the pig, boasting about itself, again said in verse: 'The countries of Magadha and Anga have heard that I am going to fight with you. Come and battle with me, why are you afraid and running away?' The tiger, having heard this, again said in verse: 'Your whole body is covered in filth, pig, your stench is suffocating me. You want to seek victory through fighting, I will now settle the matter with you.' The Venerable Kumārakāśyapa admonished: 'Pīṭha! It is the same with me. If you cling to these desires to acquire, to hate, to fear, and to be ignorant, and never let go, you will suffer immeasurable evil consequences, and you will be hated by everyone, just like that tiger and pig fighting.' King Pīṭha, having heard this, said: 'Venerable One! When you first spoke of the analogy of the sun and moon, I understood immediately and accepted it with joy. However, I wanted to seek even higher wisdom from the Venerable Kumārakāśyapa, which is why I asked again and again. I now take refuge in the Venerable Kumārakāśyapa.' The Venerable Kumārakāśyapa admonished: 'Pīṭha! Do not take refuge in me. I take refuge in the Buddha, and you should also take refuge.' King Pīṭha said: 'Venerable One! I now take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. May the Venerable Kumārakāśyapa accept me as a lay disciple for the Buddha. From today onwards, I take refuge for the rest of my life, until my death. Venerable Kumārakāśyapa! From today onwards, I will practice giving and cultivate merit.'
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉問曰:「蜱肆!汝欲行施修福,施與幾人?能至幾時?」
蜱肆王白曰:「佈施百人,或至千人,一日、二日,或至七日。」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「若王行施修福,佈施百人,或至千人,一日、二日,或至七日者,諸方沙門、梵志盡聞:『蜱肆王有見長夜受持,彼為沙門鳩摩羅迦葉之所降伏、所治、斷舍。』諸方聞已,盡當遠來,七日之中不及王施;若不得食王信施者,王便無福,不得長夜受其安樂。蜱肆王!猶如種子不碎不壞,不剖不坼,非風非日,非水中傷,秋時好藏。若彼居士深耕良田,極治地已,隨時下種,然雨澤不適者,于蜱肆意云何,彼種可得生增長不?」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!汝亦如是。若行施修福,佈施百人或至千人,一日、二日,或至七日者,諸方沙門、梵志盡聞:『蜱肆王有見長夜受持,彼為沙門鳩摩羅迦葉之所降伏、所治、斷舍。』諸方聞已,盡當遠來,七日之中不及王施;若不得食王信施者,王便無福,不得長夜受其安樂。」
蜱肆王復問曰:「尊者!我當云何?」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉答曰:「蜱肆!汝當行施修福,常供長齋
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉問道:『蜱肆!你想要行佈施修福,打算佈施給多少人?能持續多久?』 蜱肆王回答說:『佈施給一百人,或者一千人,一天、兩天,或者七天。』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告訴他說:『如果大王行佈施修福,佈施給一百人,或者一千人,一天、兩天,或者七天,各地的沙門、婆羅門都會聽到:『蜱肆王有長夜持有的見解,他被沙門鳩摩羅迦葉所降伏、所教化、斷除。』各地聽到后,都會遠道而來,七天之內趕不上大王的佈施;如果不能吃到大王信施的食物,大王就沒有福報,不能長久享受安樂。蜱肆王!就像種子沒有破碎損壞,沒有裂開,沒有被風吹日曬,沒有被水浸傷,秋天好好地收藏起來。如果那個居士深耕肥沃的田地,把地整理好,隨時播種,但是雨水不適宜,在蜱肆看來怎麼樣,那些種子能夠生長嗎?』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告訴他說:『蜱肆!你也像這樣。如果行佈施修福,佈施給一百人或者一千人,一天、兩天,或者七天,各地的沙門、婆羅門都會聽到:『蜱肆王有長夜持有的見解,他被沙門鳩摩羅迦葉所降伏、所教化、斷除。』各地聽到后,都會遠道而來,七天之內趕不上大王的佈施;如果不能吃到大王信施的食物,大王就沒有福報,不能長久享受安樂。』 蜱肆王又問道:『尊者!我應當怎麼辦?』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉回答說:『蜱肆!你應當行佈施修福,經常供養長齋。』
Venerable Kumarajiva asked: 'Pipi! If you wish to practice giving and cultivate merit, how many people do you intend to give to? And for how long?' King Pipi replied: 'I will give to a hundred people, or perhaps a thousand, for one day, two days, or perhaps seven days.' Venerable Kumarajiva said: 'If the king practices giving and cultivates merit, giving to a hundred people, or perhaps a thousand, for one day, two days, or perhaps seven days, all the ascetics and Brahmins from all directions will hear: 『King Pipi has a view that he holds for a long time, and he has been subdued, taught, and had it cut off by the ascetic Kumarajiva.』 Having heard this, they will all come from afar, and within seven days they will not be able to receive the king's giving; if they cannot eat the food given by the king's faith, the king will have no merit and will not be able to enjoy peace and happiness for a long time. King Pipi! It is like seeds that are not broken or damaged, not split or cracked, not harmed by wind or sun, or by water, and are well stored in the autumn. If that householder deeply cultivates a good field, prepares the land well, and sows seeds at the right time, but the rain is not suitable, what do you think, Pipi, can those seeds grow?' He replied: 'No, they cannot.' Venerable Kumarajiva said: 'Pipi! You are also like that. If you practice giving and cultivate merit, giving to a hundred people or perhaps a thousand, for one day, two days, or perhaps seven days, all the ascetics and Brahmins from all directions will hear: 『King Pipi has a view that he holds for a long time, and he has been subdued, taught, and had it cut off by the ascetic Kumarajiva.』 Having heard this, they will all come from afar, and within seven days they will not be able to receive the king's giving; if they cannot eat the food given by the king's faith, the king will have no merit and will not be able to enjoy peace and happiness for a long time.' King Pipi then asked: 'Venerable one! What should I do?' Venerable Kumarajiva replied: 'Pipi! You should practice giving and cultivate merit, and always provide for long-term fasting.'
。若蜱肆王行施修福,常供長齋者,諸方沙門、梵志聞:『蜱肆王有見長夜受持,彼為沙門鳩摩羅迦葉之所降伏、所治、斷舍。』諸方聞已,盡當遠來,彼皆可得及王信施,王便有福,而得長夜受其安樂。蜱肆!猶如種子不碎不壞,不剖不坼,非風非日,非水中傷,秋時好藏。若彼居士深耕良田,極治地已,隨時下種,雨澤適者,于蜱肆意云何,彼種可得生增長不?」
答曰:「生也。」
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉告曰:「蜱肆!汝亦如是,若當行施修福,常供長齋者。諸方沙門、梵志聞:『蜱肆王有見長夜受持,彼為沙門鳩摩羅迦葉之所降伏、所治、斷舍。』諸方聞已,盡當遠來,彼皆可得及王信施,王便有福,而得長夜受其安樂。」
於是,蜱肆王白曰:「尊者!我從今始行施修福,常供長齋。」
爾時,尊者鳩摩羅迦葉為蜱肆王及斯和提梵志、居士說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便,為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,默然而住。於是,蜱肆王及斯和提梵志、居士,尊者鳩摩羅迦葉為其說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,即從坐起,稽首尊者鳩摩羅迦葉足,繞三匝而去。
彼蜱肆王雖行施修福,然極惡粗弊,豆羹菜茹,唯一片姜,又復施以粗弊布衣
現代漢語譯本:如果蜱肆王能夠施行佈施,修習福德,經常供養齋飯,那麼各地的沙門、婆羅門就會聽到:『蜱肆王已經有了長遠的見識,並且接受了戒律,他被沙門鳩摩羅迦葉所降伏、所教化、斷除了惡習。』各地聽到這些后,都會遠道而來,他們都能得到國王的供養,國王因此會有福報,並且能夠長久地享受安樂。蜱肆!就像種子沒有破碎損壞,沒有裂開,沒有被風吹日曬,也沒有被水浸泡,在秋天好好地收藏起來。如果農夫深耕良田,把土地整理好,然後適時播種,又得到適量的雨水,你覺得怎麼樣,這些種子能夠生長嗎?」 回答說:『能夠生長。』 尊者鳩摩羅迦葉說:『蜱肆!你也一樣,如果能夠施行佈施,修習福德,經常供養齋飯。各地的沙門、婆羅門就會聽到:『蜱肆王已經有了長遠的見識,並且接受了戒律,他被沙門鳩摩羅迦葉所降伏、所教化、斷除了惡習。』各地聽到這些后,都會遠道而來,他們都能得到國王的供養,國王因此會有福報,並且能夠長久地享受安樂。』 於是,蜱肆王說道:『尊者!我從今以後開始施行佈施,修習福德,經常供養齋飯。』 當時,尊者鳩摩羅迦葉為蜱肆王以及斯和提婆羅門、居士說法,勸導他們生起渴望,成就歡喜,用各種方便為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴望,成就歡喜后,就默然不語。於是,蜱肆王以及斯和提婆羅門、居士,因為尊者鳩摩羅迦葉為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴望,成就歡喜后,就從座位上站起來,向尊者鳩摩羅迦葉的腳稽首,繞著他走了三圈后離去。 那個蜱肆王雖然施行佈施,修習福德,但是非常吝嗇粗鄙,只施捨豆羹菜湯,只有一片姜,而且施捨的也是粗糙破舊的布衣。
English version: If King Pīṭhasarpis were to practice giving, cultivate merit, and regularly offer alms, then monks and Brahmins from all directions would hear: 『King Pīṭhasarpis has gained long-term insight and has accepted the precepts; he has been subdued, taught, and had his bad habits eliminated by the monk Kumārakāśyapa.』 Upon hearing this, they would all come from afar, and they would all receive the king's offerings. The king would thus gain merit and be able to enjoy happiness for a long time. Pīṭhasarpis! It is like seeds that are not broken or damaged, not split, not cracked, not harmed by wind or sun, nor by water, and are well-stored in the autumn. If a farmer deeply plows a good field, prepares the land well, then sows the seeds at the right time, and receives adequate rain, what do you think, can these seeds grow and develop?』 He replied: 『They can grow.』 The Venerable Kumārakāśyapa said: 『Pīṭhasarpis! It is the same with you. If you were to practice giving, cultivate merit, and regularly offer alms, then monks and Brahmins from all directions would hear: 『King Pīṭhasarpis has gained long-term insight and has accepted the precepts; he has been subdued, taught, and had his bad habits eliminated by the monk Kumārakāśyapa.』 Upon hearing this, they would all come from afar, and they would all receive the king's offerings. The king would thus gain merit and be able to enjoy happiness for a long time.』 Then, King Pīṭhasarpis said: 『Venerable One! From this day forward, I will practice giving, cultivate merit, and regularly offer alms.』 At that time, the Venerable Kumārakāśyapa preached the Dharma to King Pīṭhasarpis, the Brahmin Sīhavardhi, and the laypeople, encouraging them to develop longing and achieve joy. He used various skillful means to preach the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop longing and achieve joy, and then remained silent. Then, King Pīṭhasarpis, the Brahmin Sīhavardhi, and the laypeople, having been preached to by the Venerable Kumārakāśyapa, encouraged to develop longing, and having achieved joy, rose from their seats, bowed their heads to the feet of the Venerable Kumārakāśyapa, circumambulated him three times, and departed. Although King Pīṭhasarpis practiced giving and cultivated merit, he was extremely stingy and crude, offering only bean soup and vegetable broth, with only one slice of ginger, and he also gave coarse and worn-out cloth.
。時,監廚者名優多羅,彼行施修福時,為蜱肆王囑語上座咒愿:「此施若有福報者,莫令蜱肆王今世後世受。」蜱肆王聞優多羅行施修福時,常為囑上座咒愿:「此施若有福報者,莫令蜱肆王今世後世受。」聞已,即呼問曰:「優多羅!汝實行施修福時,為我囑上座咒愿:『此施若有福報者,莫令蜱肆王今世後世受。』為如是耶?」
優多羅白曰:「實爾。天王!所以者何?天王雖行施修福,然極惡粗弊,豆羹菜茹,唯一片姜。天王!此食尚不可以手觸,況復自食耶?天王施以粗弊布衣。天王!此衣尚不可以腳躡,況復自著耶?我敬天王,不重所施,是故,天王!我不願此弊佈施報令王受也。」
蜱肆王聞已,告曰:「優多羅!汝從今始,如我所食,當以飯食,如我著衣,當以佈施。」於是,優多羅從是已后,如王所食,便以飯食,如王所衣,便以佈施。
爾時,優多羅因為蜱肆王監行佈施故,身壞命終,生四王天中。彼蜱肆王以不至心行佈施故,身壞命終,生榵樹林空宮殿中
現代漢語譯本:當時,負責監督廚房的人名叫優多羅。當他進行佈施修行時,蜱肆王囑咐上座僧人祈願說:『如果這次佈施有福報,不要讓蜱肆王今生來世承受。』蜱肆王聽到優多羅進行佈施修行時,常常囑咐上座僧人祈願:『如果這次佈施有福報,不要讓蜱肆王今生來世承受。』聽到后,就叫來優多羅問道:『優多羅!你進行佈施修行時,為我囑咐上座僧人祈願:『如果這次佈施有福報,不要讓蜱肆王今生來世承受。』是這樣嗎?』 優多羅回答說:『確實如此。天王!這是為什麼呢?天王雖然進行佈施修行,但是非常吝嗇粗劣,佈施的食物是豆羹菜湯,只有一片姜。天王!這樣的食物尚且不能用手觸碰,更何況自己吃呢?天王佈施的是粗劣的布衣。天王!這樣的衣服尚且不能用腳踩,更何況自己穿呢?我尊敬天王,不看重所佈施的東西,所以,天王!我不希望這種粗劣佈施的果報讓您承受。』 蜱肆王聽了之後,告訴他說:『優多羅!從今以後,像我吃的食物一樣,用飯食佈施;像我穿的衣服一樣,用布衣佈施。』於是,優多羅從那以後,像國王吃的食物一樣,就用飯食佈施;像國王穿的衣服一樣,就用布衣佈施。 當時,優多羅因為替蜱肆王監督佈施的緣故,身壞命終,轉生到四王天中。而蜱肆王因為不用真心進行佈施的緣故,身壞命終,轉生到榵樹林中的空宮殿里。
English version: At that time, the person in charge of the kitchen was named Uttara. When he was practicing giving, the Tick King instructed the senior monk to pray, 'If this giving has merit, may the Tick King not receive it in this life or the next.' The Tick King heard that when Uttara practiced giving, he often instructed the senior monk to pray, 'If this giving has merit, may the Tick King not receive it in this life or the next.' Upon hearing this, he summoned Uttara and asked, 'Uttara! When you practice giving, you instruct the senior monk to pray for me: 『If this giving has merit, may the Tick King not receive it in this life or the next.』 Is that so?' Uttara replied, 'Indeed, it is so, Your Majesty! Why is that? Although Your Majesty practices giving, you are extremely stingy and crude. The food you give is bean soup and vegetable broth, with only a single piece of ginger. Your Majesty! Such food is not even fit to be touched by hand, let alone eaten by oneself. Your Majesty gives coarse cloth as clothing. Your Majesty! Such clothing is not even fit to be stepped on by foot, let alone worn by oneself. I respect Your Majesty and do not value what is given, therefore, Your Majesty! I do not wish that the result of this crude giving be received by you.' Upon hearing this, the Tick King said, 'Uttara! From now on, like the food I eat, use rice and food for giving; like the clothes I wear, use cloth for giving.' So, from then on, Uttara, like the food the king ate, used rice and food for giving; like the clothes the king wore, used cloth for giving. At that time, because Uttara was supervising the giving for the Tick King, when his body broke and his life ended, he was reborn in the Heaven of the Four Kings. The Tick King, because he did not give with a sincere heart, when his body broke and his life ended, he was reborn in an empty palace in the forest of the 'huan' trees.
尊者橋㷿缽帝數往遊行彼榵樹林空宮殿中,尊者橋㷿缽帝遙見蜱肆王,即便問曰:「汝是誰耶?」
蜱肆王答曰:「尊者橋㷿缽帝!頗聞閻浮洲中有斯和提王,名蜱肆耶?」
尊者橋㷿缽帝答曰:「我聞閻浮洲中斯和提有王,名蜱肆。」
蜱肆王白曰:「尊者橋㷿缽帝,我即是也,本名蜱肆王。」
尊者橋㷿缽帝復問曰:「蜱肆王如是見,如是說:無有後世,無眾生生。彼何由生此,依四王天小榵樹林空宮殿中?」
蜱肆王白曰:「尊者橋㷿缽帝!我本實有是見,然為尊者沙門鳩摩羅迦葉之所降伏、所治、斷舍。若尊者橋㷿缽帝還下閻浮洲者,愿遍告語閻浮洲人:『若行施修福時,當至心與,自手與,自往與,至信與,知有業、有業報與。所以者何?莫令以是受佈施報如斯和提蜱肆王也。蜱肆王者是佈施主,以不至心行施與故,生依四王天小榵樹林空宮殿中。』」爾時,尊者橋㷿缽帝默然而受。
於是,尊者橋㷿缽帝有時來下至閻浮洲,則遍告諸閻浮洲人:「至心施與,自手與,自往與,至信與,知有業、有業報與。所以者何?莫令以是受佈施報如斯和提蜱肆王也。蜱肆王者是佈施主,以不至心行施與故,生依四王天小榵樹林空宮殿中
尊者橋㷿缽帝曾經前往那榵樹林中的空宮殿,尊者橋㷿缽帝遠遠地看見了蜱肆王,便問道:『你是誰?』 蜱肆王回答說:『尊者橋㷿缽帝!您聽說過閻浮洲有個斯和提王,名叫蜱肆嗎?』 尊者橋㷿缽帝回答說:『我聽說閻浮洲斯和提有個國王,名叫蜱肆。』 蜱肆王說:『尊者橋㷿缽帝,我就是他,我本來的名字是蜱肆王。』 尊者橋㷿缽帝又問:『蜱肆王,你曾經這樣認為,這樣說:沒有來世,沒有眾生轉生。那你為何會生在這裡,依附在四王天的小榵樹林空宮殿中?』 蜱肆王說:『尊者橋㷿缽帝!我本來確實有這樣的見解,但是被尊者沙門鳩摩羅迦葉所降伏、所糾正、斷除了。如果尊者橋㷿缽帝回到閻浮洲,希望您能告訴閻浮洲的人們:『在行佈施修福的時候,應當真心誠意地給予,親自給予,親自前往給予,以至誠的信心給予,知道有業報、有因果報應地給予。為什麼要這樣做呢?不要因為佈施的果報像斯和提的蜱肆王一樣。蜱肆王是佈施的主人,因為沒有真心誠意地行佈施,所以才出生在依附四王天的小榵樹林空宮殿中。』當時,尊者橋㷿缽帝默默地接受了。 於是,尊者橋㷿缽帝有時回到閻浮洲,就告訴閻浮洲的人們:『要真心誠意地給予,親自給予,親自前往給予,以至誠的信心給予,知道有業報、有因果報應地給予。為什麼要這樣做呢?不要因為佈施的果報像斯和提的蜱肆王一樣。蜱肆王是佈施的主人,因為沒有真心誠意地行佈施,所以才出生在依附四王天的小榵樹林空宮殿中。』
Venerable Gavampati once went to that empty palace in the Nyagrodha tree grove. Venerable Gavampati saw King Pissira from afar and immediately asked, 'Who are you?' King Pissira replied, 'Venerable Gavampati! Have you heard of a king in Jambudvipa named Pissira, the king of Sravasti?' Venerable Gavampati replied, 'I have heard that there is a king in Sravasti in Jambudvipa named Pissira.' King Pissira said, 'Venerable Gavampati, I am he. My original name was King Pissira.' Venerable Gavampati then asked, 'King Pissira, you held such a view, saying that there is no afterlife, no rebirth of beings. How did you come to be born here, dwelling in the empty palace in the small Nyagrodha tree grove of the Four Heavenly Kings?' King Pissira replied, 'Venerable Gavampati! I did indeed have such a view, but it was subdued, corrected, and abandoned by the Venerable Samana Kumarakaśyapa. If Venerable Gavampati returns to Jambudvipa, I wish you would tell the people of Jambudvipa: 『When giving alms and cultivating merit, you should give with a sincere heart, give with your own hands, go and give in person, give with sincere faith, and give knowing that there is karma and karmic retribution. Why is this so? Do not let the reward of giving be like that of King Pissira of Sravasti. King Pissira was the master of giving, but because he did not give with a sincere heart, he was born in the empty palace in the small Nyagrodha tree grove of the Four Heavenly Kings.』' At that time, Venerable Gavampati silently accepted. Then, Venerable Gavampati sometimes came down to Jambudvipa and told the people of Jambudvipa: 'Give with a sincere heart, give with your own hands, go and give in person, give with sincere faith, and give knowing that there is karma and karmic retribution. Why is this so? Do not let the reward of giving be like that of King Pissira of Sravasti. King Pissira was the master of giving, but because he did not give with a sincere heart, he was born in the empty palace in the small Nyagrodha tree grove of the Four Heavenly Kings.'
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉所說如是。蜱肆王,斯和提梵志、居士及諸比丘,聞尊者鳩摩羅迦葉所說,歡喜奉行。

(七二)中阿含長壽王品長壽王本起經第一
一時,佛游拘舍彌,在瞿師羅園。
爾時,拘舍彌諸比丘數共鬥諍。於是,世尊告拘舍彌諸比丘曰:「比丘!汝等莫共鬥諍。所以者何?
「若以諍止諍, 至竟不見止; 唯忍能止諍, 是法可尊貴。
「所以者何?昔過去時,有拘娑羅國王,名曰長壽,復有加赦國王,名梵摩達哆,彼二國王常共戰諍。於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆興四種軍,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍
尊者鳩摩羅迦葉是這樣說的。蜱肆王啊,斯和提梵志、居士以及各位比丘,聽聞尊者鳩摩羅迦葉所說,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 《蜱肆王經》第七完(一萬三千六百七十字) 《中阿含經》卷第十六(一萬三千六百七十字) 《中阿含經》王相應品第一完(三萬五千六百二十一字)(第二小土城誦) 《中阿含經》卷第十七 《中阿含經》長壽王品第二(有十五經)(第二小土城誦) 長壽、天、八念,凈不移動道; 郁伽支羅說,娑雞三族姓; 梵天迎請佛,勝天、伽絺那; 念身、支離彌,上尊長老眠; 無刺及真人,說處最在後。 (七二)《中阿含經》長壽王品《長壽王本起經》第一 一時,佛陀在拘舍彌游化,住在瞿師羅園。 當時,拘舍彌的眾比丘經常互相爭鬥。於是,世尊告訴拘舍彌的眾比丘說:『比丘們!你們不要互相爭鬥。為什麼呢?』 『如果用爭鬥來停止爭鬥,最終是無法停止的;只有忍耐才能停止爭鬥,這個法才是可尊貴的。』 『為什麼呢?過去的時候,有一個拘薩羅國王,名叫長壽,還有一個加赦國王,名叫梵摩達哆,這兩個國王經常互相爭戰。於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆興起四種軍隊,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍。
Thus spoke the venerable Kumārakāśyapa. King Piśāca, the Brahmin Sthāvara, the householders, and the monks, having heard what the venerable Kumārakāśyapa had said, rejoiced and practiced it. The seventh Piśāca King Sūtra is complete (13,670 words). The sixteenth fascicle of the Madhyama Āgama Sūtra (13,670 words). The first chapter of the Madhyama Āgama Sūtra, the King's Samyukta, is complete (35,621 words) (Recited at the Second Small Earth City).

(72) The first Sūtra of the Long-Life King Chapter of the Madhyama Āgama Sūtra, the Origin of the Long-Life King. At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Kosambi, staying in Ghosira Park. At that time, the monks of Kosambi were frequently quarreling with each other. Then, the World-Honored One said to the monks of Kosambi: 'Monks! You should not quarrel with each other. Why is that?' 'If one stops quarreling with quarreling, it will never end; only patience can stop quarreling, this Dharma is worthy of respect.' 'Why is that? In the past, there was a king of Kosala named Long-Life, and there was also a king of Kasi named Brahmadatta. These two kings were constantly at war with each other. Then, King Brahmadatta of Kasi raised four kinds of armies: elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry troops.'
。興四種軍已,加赦國王梵摩達哆自引軍往,欲與拘娑羅國王長壽共戰。拘娑羅國王長壽聞加赦國王梵摩達哆興四種軍,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,興四種軍已,來與我戰。拘娑羅國王長壽聞已,亦興四種軍,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍。興四種軍已,拘娑羅國王長壽自引軍出,往至界上,列陣共戰,即摧破之。於是,拘娑羅國王長壽盡奪取彼梵摩達哆四種軍眾,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,乃復生擒加赦國王梵摩達哆身,得已,即放而語彼曰:『汝窮厄人,今原赦汝,后莫復作。』
「加赦國王梵摩達哆復再三興四種軍,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍。興四種軍已,復自引軍往與拘娑羅國王長壽共戰。拘娑羅國王長壽聞加赦國王梵摩達哆復興四種軍,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,興四種軍已,來與我戰。拘娑羅國王長壽聞已,便作是念:『我已克彼,何須復克?我已伏彼,何足更伏?我已害彼,何須復害?但以空弓,足能伏彼。』拘娑羅國王長壽作是念已,晏然不復興四種軍,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,亦不自往。於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆得來破之,盡奪取拘娑羅國王長壽四種軍眾,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍
現代漢語譯本:加赦國王梵摩達哆集結了四種軍隊,親自率領軍隊前往,想要與拘薩羅國王長壽交戰。拘薩羅國王長壽聽說加赦國王梵摩達哆集結了象軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍這四種軍隊,前來與自己交戰。拘薩羅國王長壽聽聞后,也集結了象軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍這四種軍隊。集結完畢后,拘薩羅國王長壽親自率軍出征,到達邊境,列陣交戰,隨即擊潰了對方。於是,拘薩羅國王長壽盡數奪取了梵摩達哆的四種軍隊,包括象軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,並且生擒了加赦國王梵摩達哆。抓到他后,便釋放了他,並對他說:『你這個窮途末路的人,現在我原諒你,以後不要再這樣做了。』 加赦國王梵摩達哆又再次集結了象軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍這四種軍隊。集結完畢后,再次親自率軍前往與拘薩羅國王長壽交戰。拘薩羅國王長壽聽說加赦國王梵摩達哆再次集結了象軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍這四種軍隊,前來與自己交戰。拘薩羅國王長壽聽聞后,便心想:『我已經戰勝過他了,何必再次戰勝?我已經降伏過他了,何必再次降伏?我已經傷害過他了,何必再次傷害?只需空弓,就足以降伏他。』拘薩羅國王長壽這樣想后,便安然不動,不再集結象軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍這四種軍隊,也不親自前往。於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆得以攻破他,盡數奪取了拘薩羅國王長壽的四種軍隊,包括象軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍。
English version: King Brahmadata of Kasi, having assembled four types of troops, personally led his army, intending to fight against King Dirghayu of Kosala. King Dirghayu of Kosala heard that King Brahmadata of Kasi had assembled four types of troops—elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry troops—and was coming to fight him. Upon hearing this, King Dirghayu of Kosala also assembled four types of troops: elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry troops. Having assembled his troops, King Dirghayu of Kosala personally led his army out, went to the border, arrayed his troops for battle, and immediately defeated them. Thereupon, King Dirghayu of Kosala seized all of Brahmadata's four types of troops—elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry troops—and also captured King Brahmadata of Kasi alive. After capturing him, he released him and said to him, 'You are a man in dire straits. Now I forgive you. Do not do this again.' King Brahmadata of Kasi once again assembled four types of troops: elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry troops. Having assembled his troops, he again personally led his army to fight against King Dirghayu of Kosala. King Dirghayu of Kosala heard that King Brahmadata of Kasi had again assembled four types of troops—elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry troops—and was coming to fight him. Upon hearing this, King Dirghayu of Kosala thought, 'I have already defeated him, why should I defeat him again? I have already subdued him, why should I subdue him again? I have already harmed him, why should I harm him again? An empty bow is enough to subdue him.' Having thought this, King Dirghayu of Kosala remained at ease and did not assemble the four types of troops—elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry troops—nor did he go himself. Thereupon, King Brahmadata of Kasi was able to defeat him and seized all of King Dirghayu of Kosala's four types of troops—elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry troops.
「於是,拘娑羅國王長壽聞加赦國王梵摩達哆來,盡奪取我四種軍眾,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍已,復作是念:『斗為甚奇!斗為甚惡!所以者何?克當復克,伏當復伏,害當復害。我今寧可獨將一妻,共乘一車,走至波羅㮈。』於是,拘娑羅國王長壽即獨將妻,共乘一車,走至波羅㮈。拘娑羅國王長壽復作是念:『我今寧可至村村邑邑,受學博聞。』拘娑羅國王長壽作是念已,即便往至村村邑邑,受學博聞,以博聞故,即轉名為長壽博士。
「長壽博士復作是念:『所為學者,我今已得,我寧可往波羅㮈都邑中,住街街巷巷,以歡悅顏色作妙音伎,如是波羅㮈諸貴豪族聞已,當極歡喜而自娛樂。』長壽博士作是念已,便往至波羅㮈都邑中,住街街巷巷,以歡悅顏色作妙音伎,如是波羅㮈諸貴豪族聞已,極大歡喜而自娛樂。於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆外眷屬聞,中眷屬、內眷屬及梵志國師展轉悉聞。梵志國師聞已,便呼見之。於是,長壽博士往詣梵志國師所,向彼而立,以歡悅顏色作妙音伎,梵志國師聞已,極大歡喜而自娛樂。於是,梵志國師告長壽博士:『汝從今日可依我住,當相供給。』長壽博士白曰:『尊者!我有一妻,當如之何?』梵志國師報曰:『博士!汝可將來依我家住,當供給之
『於是,拘薩羅國王長壽聽說加赦國王梵摩達多來了,奪走了我的四種軍隊,像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,又想到:『戰爭真是太奇怪了!戰爭真是太邪惡了!為什麼呢?戰勝了還會被戰勝,征服了還會被征服,傷害了還會被傷害。我寧願只帶一個妻子,共乘一輛車,逃到波羅奈。』於是,拘薩羅國王長壽就只帶著妻子,共乘一輛車,逃到了波羅奈。拘薩羅國王長壽又想到:『我寧願到各個村莊城鎮,學習廣博的知識。』拘薩羅國王長壽這樣想后,就前往各個村莊城鎮,學習廣博的知識,因為博學多聞,就被改名為長壽博士。 長壽博士又想到:『我所追求的學問,現在已經得到了,我寧願到波羅奈城中,住在街頭巷尾,用歡快的表情表演美妙的音樂技藝,這樣波羅奈的貴族豪門聽了,一定會非常高興並以此娛樂。』長壽博士這樣想后,就前往波羅奈城中,住在街頭巷尾,用歡快的表情表演美妙的音樂技藝,這樣波羅奈的貴族豪門聽了,都非常高興並以此娛樂。於是,加赦國王梵摩達多的外眷屬聽說了,中眷屬、內眷屬以及婆羅門國師也輾轉聽說了。婆羅門國師聽了后,就召見了他。於是,長壽博士前往婆羅門國師那裡,站在他面前,用歡快的表情表演美妙的音樂技藝,婆羅門國師聽了后,非常高興並以此娛樂。於是,婆羅門國師告訴長壽博士:『你從今天起可以住在我這裡,我會供養你。』長壽博士回答說:『尊者!我有一個妻子,該怎麼辦呢?』婆羅門國師回答說:『博士!你可以把她帶來住在我家,我會供養她。』
'Then, King Dirghayu of Kosala, hearing that King Brahmadatta of Kasi had come, seized my four divisions of troops—elephantry, cavalry, chariots, and infantry—and thought: 『War is indeed strange! War is indeed evil! Why is that? One who conquers will be conquered again, one who subdues will be subdued again, one who harms will be harmed again. I would rather take only one wife, ride together in one chariot, and flee to Varanasi.』 Then, King Dirghayu of Kosala, taking only his wife, rode together in one chariot and fled to Varanasi. King Dirghayu of Kosala further thought: 『I would rather go to village after village, town after town, and learn extensively.』 Having thought this, King Dirghayu of Kosala went to village after village, town after town, and learned extensively. Because of his extensive learning, he was renamed Doctor Dirghayu. Doctor Dirghayu further thought: 『The learning I sought, I have now attained. I would rather go to the city of Varanasi, dwell in the streets and alleys, and perform beautiful music with a joyful countenance. When the nobles and wealthy families of Varanasi hear this, they will be extremely pleased and entertained.』 Having thought this, Doctor Dirghayu went to the city of Varanasi, dwelt in the streets and alleys, and performed beautiful music with a joyful countenance. When the nobles and wealthy families of Varanasi heard this, they were all extremely pleased and entertained. Then, the outer retinue of King Brahmadatta of Kasi heard of it, as did the middle retinue, the inner retinue, and the Brahmin royal teacher. Having heard of it, the Brahmin royal teacher summoned him. Then, Doctor Dirghayu went to the Brahmin royal teacher, stood before him, and performed beautiful music with a joyful countenance. The Brahmin royal teacher, having heard it, was extremely pleased and entertained. Then, the Brahmin royal teacher said to Doctor Dirghayu: 『From today, you may live with me, and I will provide for you.』 Doctor Dirghayu replied: 『Venerable sir! I have a wife, what should I do?』 The Brahmin royal teacher replied: 『Doctor! You may bring her to live in my house, and I will provide for her.』
。』於是,長壽博士即將其妻依梵志國師家住,梵志國師即便供給彼。
「於後時長壽博士妻心懷憂戚,作如是念:『欲令四種軍陣列鹵簿,拔白露刃,徐庠而過,我欲遍觀,亦復欲得磨刀水飲。』長壽博士妻作是念已,便白長壽博士:『我心懷憂戚,作如是念:「欲令四種軍陣列鹵簿,拔白露刃,徐庠而過,我欲遍觀,亦復欲得磨刀水飲。」』長壽博士即告妻曰:『卿莫作是念。所以者何?我等今為梵摩達哆王所破壞,卿當何由得見四種軍陣列鹵簿,拔白露刃,徐庠而過,我欲遍觀,亦復欲得磨刀水飲耶?』妻復白曰:『尊若能得者,我有活望,若不得者,必死無疑。』
「長壽博士即便往詣梵志國師所,向彼而立,顏色愁慘,以惡微聲作諸音伎,梵志國師聞已不得歡喜。於是,梵志國師問曰:『博士!汝本向我立,以歡悅顏色作妙音伎,我聞已極大歡喜而自娛樂。汝今何以向我立,顏色愁慘,以惡微聲作諸音伎?我聞已不得歡喜。長壽博士!汝身無疾患,意無憂戚耶?』長壽博士白曰:『尊者!我身無患,但意有憂戚耳。尊者!我妻心懷憂戚,作如是念:「我欲得四種軍陣列鹵簿,拔白露刃,徐庠而過,我欲遍觀,亦復欲得磨刀水飲
現代漢語譯本:於是,長壽博士就把他的妻子安置在梵志國師的家中,梵志國師就負責供養他們。 後來,長壽博士的妻子心中憂愁,這樣想道:『我想要看到四種軍隊排列成儀仗隊,拔出閃亮的刀刃,緩緩地走過,我想遍觀這一切,還想喝磨刀的水。』長壽博士的妻子這樣想后,就告訴長壽博士說:『我心中憂愁,這樣想道:「我想要看到四種軍隊排列成儀仗隊,拔出閃亮的刀刃,緩緩地走過,我想遍觀這一切,還想喝磨刀的水。」』長壽博士就告訴妻子說:『你不要這樣想。為什麼呢?我們現在已經被梵摩達哆王打敗了,你又怎麼能看到四種軍隊排列成儀仗隊,拔出閃亮的刀刃,緩緩地走過,遍觀這一切,還喝到磨刀的水呢?』妻子又說:『如果你能得到這些,我就有活下去的希望,如果得不到,我必死無疑。』 長壽博士就去拜訪梵志國師,站在他面前,臉色愁苦,用低沉的聲音演奏樂曲,梵志國師聽了並不高興。於是,梵志國師問道:『博士!你以前站在我面前,用歡快的臉色演奏美妙的樂曲,我聽了非常高興,感到愉悅。你現在為什麼站在我面前,臉色愁苦,用低沉的聲音演奏樂曲?我聽了並不高興。長壽博士!你身體沒有疾病,心裡沒有憂愁嗎?』長壽博士回答說:『尊者!我身體沒有疾病,只是心裡有憂愁罷了。尊者!我的妻子心中憂愁,這樣想道:「我想要看到四種軍隊排列成儀仗隊,拔出閃亮的刀刃,緩緩地走過,我想遍觀這一切,還想喝磨刀的水。」』
English version: Then, the longevity doctor placed his wife in the care of the Brahmin national teacher, who then provided for them. Later, the longevity doctor's wife became worried and thought to herself: 'I wish to see the four types of armies arrayed in a ceremonial procession, with their gleaming blades drawn, slowly marching past. I want to see it all, and I also want to drink the water used for sharpening swords.' After thinking this, the longevity doctor's wife told him: 'I am worried and I think: "I wish to see the four types of armies arrayed in a ceremonial procession, with their gleaming blades drawn, slowly marching past. I want to see it all, and I also want to drink the water used for sharpening swords."' The longevity doctor then told his wife: 'You shouldn't think like that. Why? We have now been defeated by King Brahmadata, how could you possibly see the four types of armies arrayed in a ceremonial procession, with their gleaming blades drawn, slowly marching past, see it all, and drink the water used for sharpening swords?' His wife replied: 'If you can get these things, I have hope of living, but if you cannot, I will surely die.' The longevity doctor then went to visit the Brahmin national teacher, stood before him, looking distressed, and played music with a low voice. The Brahmin national teacher was not pleased to hear it. So, the Brahmin national teacher asked: 'Doctor! When you used to stand before me, you would play beautiful music with a joyful expression, and I would be very happy and entertained. Why do you now stand before me, looking distressed, and play music with a low voice? I am not pleased to hear it. Longevity doctor! Are you not ill, and are you not worried?' The longevity doctor replied: 'Venerable one! I am not ill, but I am worried. Venerable one! My wife is worried and thinks: "I wish to see the four types of armies arrayed in a ceremonial procession, with their gleaming blades drawn, slowly marching past. I want to see it all, and I also want to drink the water used for sharpening swords."'
。」我即報妻曰:「卿莫作是念,所以者何?我今如此,卿當何由得四種軍陣列鹵簿,拔白露刃,徐庠而過,我欲遍觀,亦復欲得磨刀水飲耶?」妻復白我曰:「尊若能得者,我有活望,若不得者,必死無疑。」尊者!若妻不全,我亦無理。』
「梵志國師問曰:『博士!汝妻可得見不?』白曰:『尊者!可得見耳。』於是,梵志國師將長壽博士往至妻所。是時,長壽博士妻懷有德子,梵志國師見長壽博士妻懷有德子故,便以右膝跪地,叉手向長壽博士妻,再三稱說:『生拘娑羅國王。生拘娑羅國王。』教敕左右曰:『莫令人知。』梵志國師告曰:『博士!汝勿憂戚,我能令汝妻得見四種軍陣列鹵簿,拔白露刃,徐庠而過,亦能令得磨刀水飲。』
「於是,梵志國師往詣加赦國王梵摩達哆所,到已,白曰:『天王!當知有德星現,唯愿天王嚴四種軍,陣列鹵簿,拔白露刃,徐庠導引,出曜軍威,以水磨刀,唯愿天王自出觀視。天王!若作是者,必有吉應。』加赦國王梵摩達哆即敕主兵臣:『卿!今當知有德星現,卿宜速嚴四種之軍,陣列鹵簿,拔白露刃,徐庠導引,出曜軍威,以水磨刀,我自出觀,若作是者,必有吉應
現代漢語譯本:我立刻告訴妻子說:『你不要有這樣的想法,為什麼呢?我現在這樣,你又怎麼能看到四種軍隊排列的儀仗,拔出閃亮的刀刃,緩緩地走過,我想遍觀這些,也想喝到磨刀水呢?』妻子又對我說:『如果你能得到這些,我就有活下去的希望,如果得不到,必定死無疑。』尊者!如果妻子不保全,我也就沒道理活下去了。 梵志國師問道:『博士!你的妻子可以見一見嗎?』回答說:『尊者!可以見。』於是,梵志國師帶著長壽博士去見他的妻子。當時,長壽博士的妻子懷著有德的孩子,梵志國師看到長壽博士的妻子懷著有德的孩子,就單膝跪地,雙手合十向長壽博士的妻子,再三地說:『將要生拘娑羅國王。將要生拘娑羅國王。』並告誡左右說:『不要讓人知道。』梵志國師告訴他說:『博士!你不要憂愁,我能讓你的妻子看到四種軍隊排列的儀仗,拔出閃亮的刀刃,緩緩地走過,也能讓她喝到磨刀水。』 於是,梵志國師去見加赦國王梵摩達哆,到了之後,稟告說:『天王!應當知道有德星出現,希望天王整頓四種軍隊,排列儀仗,拔出閃亮的刀刃,緩緩地引導,展示軍隊的威風,用水磨刀,希望天王親自出來觀看。天王!如果這樣做,必定會有吉祥的應驗。』加赦國王梵摩達哆立刻命令主兵大臣說:『你!現在應當知道有德星出現,你應當迅速整頓四種軍隊,排列儀仗,拔出閃亮的刀刃,緩緩地引導,展示軍隊的威風,用水磨刀,我親自出來觀看,如果這樣做,必定會有吉祥的應驗。』
English version: I immediately told my wife, 'You must not think like that. Why? If I am like this now, how could you possibly see the four kinds of troops arrayed in ceremonial formation, drawing their gleaming blades, and slowly passing by? I wish to see all of that, and also to drink the water used for sharpening the blades.' My wife then said to me, 'If you can obtain these things, I have hope of living; if not, I will surely die.' Venerable one! If my wife is not preserved, I have no reason to live either. The Brahmin national teacher asked, 'Doctor! May your wife be seen?' He replied, 'Venerable one! She may be seen.' Thereupon, the Brahmin national teacher took Doctor Long Life to his wife's place. At that time, Doctor Long Life's wife was pregnant with a virtuous child. When the Brahmin national teacher saw that Doctor Long Life's wife was pregnant with a virtuous child, he knelt on his right knee, clasped his hands towards Doctor Long Life's wife, and repeatedly said, 'The King of Kosala will be born. The King of Kosala will be born.' He instructed those around him, 'Do not let anyone know.' The Brahmin national teacher said, 'Doctor! Do not worry, I can make it so that your wife sees the four kinds of troops arrayed in ceremonial formation, drawing their gleaming blades, and slowly passing by, and also that she drinks the water used for sharpening the blades.' Thereupon, the Brahmin national teacher went to King Kasi, King Brahmadatta. Upon arriving, he reported, 'Your Majesty! You should know that a virtuous star has appeared. I hope that Your Majesty will prepare the four kinds of troops, arrange the ceremonial formation, draw the gleaming blades, slowly lead them, display the might of the army, and sharpen the blades with water. I hope that Your Majesty will personally come out to observe. Your Majesty! If you do this, there will surely be a good omen.' King Kasi, King Brahmadatta, immediately ordered the chief military minister, 'You! Now you should know that a virtuous star has appeared. You should quickly prepare the four kinds of troops, arrange the ceremonial formation, draw the gleaming blades, slowly lead them, display the might of the army, and sharpen the blades with water. I will personally come out to observe. If you do this, there will surely be a good omen.'
。』時,主兵臣即受王教,嚴四種軍,陣列鹵簿,拔白露刃,徐庠導引,出曜軍威,以水磨刀,梵摩達哆即自出觀。
「因是,長壽博士妻得見四種軍陣列鹵簿,拔白露刃,徐庠導引,出曜軍威,並亦復得磨刀水飲。飲磨刀水已,憂戚即除,尋生德子,便為作字,名長生童子。寄人密養,漸已長大,長生童子若諸剎利頂生王者,整御天下得大國土,種種伎藝,乘象、騎馬、調御、馳驟、射戲、手搏、擲罥、擲鉤、乘車、坐輦,如是種種諸妙伎藝皆善知之,若干種妙觸事殊勝,猛毅超世,聰明挺出,幽微隱遠,無不博達。
「於是,梵摩達哆聞拘娑羅國王長壽彼作博士,轉名在此波羅㮈城中,梵摩達哆即敕左右:『卿等速往收拘娑羅國王長壽,反縛兩手,令彼騎驢,打破敗鼓,聲如驢鳴。遍宣令已,從城南門出,坐高標下,詰問其辭。』左右受教,即便往收拘娑羅國王長壽,反縛兩手,令彼騎驢,打破敗鼓,聲如驢鳴,遍宣令已,從城南門出,坐高標下,詰問其辭。是時,長生童子尋隨父后,或在左右而白父曰:『天王勿怖!天王勿怖!我即於此,必能拔濟,必能拔濟。』拘娑羅王長壽告曰:『童子可忍!童子可忍!莫起怨結,但當行慈
現代漢語譯本:當『時』,主兵大臣便接受國王的命令,整頓四種軍隊,排列儀仗,拔出鋒利的刀刃,緩緩引導,展現軍隊的威嚴,用磨刀水磨刀,梵摩達哆便親自出來觀看。 因此,長壽博士的妻子得以見到四種軍隊的儀仗佇列,拔出的鋒利刀刃,緩緩引導,展現軍隊的威嚴,並且也得到了磨刀水飲用。喝了磨刀水后,憂愁立即消除,隨即生下了一個有德行的兒子,便給他取名為長生童子。將他寄養在別人家秘密撫養,漸漸長大,長生童子就像那些剎帝利頂生王者一樣,治理天下,獲得廣闊的國土,各種技藝,如騎象、騎馬、調御、奔馳、射箭、摔跤、投擲繩索、投擲鉤子、乘坐車輛、乘坐輦轎,像這樣各種精妙的技藝都精通,各種美妙的感觸都非常殊勝,勇猛剛毅超越世俗,聰明才智出類拔萃,對於幽深隱秘的事物,沒有不通曉的。 於是,梵摩達哆聽說拘娑羅國王的長壽,曾經做過博士,現在改名在此波羅㮈城中,梵摩達哆便命令左右:『你們快去抓捕拘娑羅國王長壽,反綁他的雙手,讓他騎驢,敲破敗鼓,發出像驢叫的聲音。宣告完畢后,從城南門出去,坐在高高的標桿下,審問他的罪責。』左右接受命令,立即去抓捕拘娑羅國王長壽,反綁他的雙手,讓他騎驢,敲破敗鼓,發出像驢叫的聲音,宣告完畢后,從城南門出去,坐在高高的標桿下,審問他的罪責。這時,長生童子緊隨父親身後,有時在左右對父親說:『天王不要害怕!天王不要害怕!我在這裡,一定能夠救您,一定能夠救您。』拘娑羅王長壽告誡說:『孩子要忍耐!孩子要忍耐!不要結下怨恨,應當行慈悲。』
English version: At that 'time', the chief military minister received the king's order, organized the four types of troops, arranged the ceremonial guards, drew out the sharp blades, slowly led the way, displaying the army's might, and sharpened the blades with water for grinding. Brahma Datta then came out to watch in person. Because of this, the wife of the longevity scholar was able to see the ceremonial procession of the four types of troops, the drawn sharp blades, the slow guidance, the display of the army's might, and she also obtained the water used for sharpening blades to drink. After drinking the water, her worries immediately disappeared, and she soon gave birth to a virtuous son, whom she named 'Long-Life Child'. He was secretly fostered by others and gradually grew up. Long-Life Child, like those Kshatriya kings born with a crown, governed the world, obtained vast lands, and was skilled in various arts, such as riding elephants, riding horses, controlling them, galloping, archery, wrestling, throwing ropes, throwing hooks, riding chariots, and riding palanquins. He was proficient in all kinds of exquisite skills, and his various wonderful sensations were extraordinary. He was brave and resolute, surpassing the world, and his intelligence was outstanding. He was knowledgeable about everything, including the profound and hidden. Then, Brahma Datta heard that the longevity of King Kosala, who had once been a scholar, had changed his name and was now in this city of Varanasi. Brahma Datta immediately ordered his attendants: 'Quickly go and capture the longevity of King Kosala, bind his hands behind his back, make him ride a donkey, beat a broken drum, making a sound like a donkey's bray. After announcing this, take him out of the south gate of the city, sit him under a high pole, and interrogate him for his crimes.' The attendants received the order and immediately went to capture the longevity of King Kosala, bound his hands behind his back, made him ride a donkey, beat a broken drum, making a sound like a donkey's bray. After announcing this, they took him out of the south gate of the city, sat him under a high pole, and interrogated him for his crimes. At this time, Long-Life Child followed closely behind his father, sometimes on his left and right, and said to his father: 'Your Majesty, do not be afraid! Your Majesty, do not be afraid! I am here, and I will surely be able to save you, I will surely be able to save you.' King Kosala's longevity advised: 'Child, be patient! Child, be patient! Do not create resentment, but practice compassion.'
。』眾人聞長壽王而作此語,便問于王:『所道何等?』王答眾人曰:『此童子聰明,必解我語。』
「爾時,長生童子勸波羅㮈城中諸貴豪族:『諸君!行施修福,為拘娑羅國王長壽咒愿,以此施福,愿拘娑羅國王長壽令安隱,得解脫。』於是,波羅㮈城中諸貴豪族為長生童子所勸,行施修福,為拘娑羅國王長壽咒愿:『以此施福,愿拘娑羅國王長壽令安隱,得解脫。』加赦國王梵摩達哆聞此波羅㮈諸貴豪族行施修福,為拘娑羅國王長壽咒愿:『以此施福愿拘娑羅國王長壽令安隱,得解脫。』聞即大怖,身毛皆豎:『莫令此波羅㮈城中諸貴豪族反於我耶?且置彼事,我今急當先滅此事。』於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆教敕左右:『汝等速去,殺拘娑羅國王長壽,斬作七段。』左右受教,即便速往,殺長壽王,斬作七段。
「於是,長生童子勸波羅㮈城中諸貴豪族而作是語:『諸君看此,加赦國王梵摩達哆酷暴無道,彼取我父拘娑羅國王長壽無過之人,奪取其國倉庫財物,怨酷枉殺,斬作七段
現代漢語譯本:眾人聽聞長壽王的名字后說了這些話,便問長壽王:『你說的什麼?』長壽王回答眾人說:『這個童子很聰明,一定能理解我的話。』 當時,長生童子勸說波羅奈城中的各位貴族豪門:『各位!請行善佈施,修積福德,為拘薩羅國王長壽祈福祝願,以此佈施的福德,愿拘薩羅國王長壽安康,得到解脫。』於是,波羅奈城中的各位貴族豪門被長生童子勸說,行善佈施,修積福德,為拘薩羅國王長壽祈福祝願:『以此佈施的福德,愿拘薩羅國王長壽安康,得到解脫。』加赦國王梵摩達哆聽到波羅奈的各位貴族豪門行善佈施,修積福德,為拘薩羅國王長壽祈福祝願:『以此佈施的福德,愿拘薩羅國王長壽安康,得到解脫。』聽到后非常害怕,汗毛都豎了起來:『難道波羅奈城中的各位貴族豪門要背叛我嗎?先放一放這件事,我現在要趕緊先解決這件事。』於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆命令左右:『你們快去,殺了拘薩羅國王長壽,把他斬成七段。』左右接受命令,立即前往,殺了長壽王,把他斬成七段。 當時,長生童子勸說波羅奈城中的各位貴族豪門,說了這樣的話:『各位請看,加赦國王梵摩達哆殘暴無道,他抓捕了我的父親拘薩羅國王長壽,他並沒有過錯,奪取了他的國家倉庫財物,怨恨殘暴地枉殺了他,還把他斬成七段。』
English version: Upon hearing the name of King Long-Life, the people spoke these words and asked the king, 'What are you saying?' King Long-Life replied to the crowd, 'This child is intelligent and will surely understand my words.' At that time, the boy Long-Life urged the nobles and wealthy families in the city of Varanasi, 'Everyone! Please perform acts of charity and cultivate blessings, and pray for the longevity of King Kosala Long-Life. With these blessings from charity, may King Kosala Long-Life have a long and peaceful life and attain liberation.' Thereupon, the nobles and wealthy families in the city of Varanasi, persuaded by the boy Long-Life, performed acts of charity and cultivated blessings, praying for the longevity of King Kosala Long-Life, 'With these blessings from charity, may King Kosala Long-Life have a long and peaceful life and attain liberation.' King Brahmadatta of Kasi heard that the nobles and wealthy families of Varanasi were performing acts of charity and cultivating blessings, praying for the longevity of King Kosala Long-Life, 'With these blessings from charity, may King Kosala Long-Life have a long and peaceful life and attain liberation.' Upon hearing this, he was greatly frightened, and his hair stood on end, 'Could it be that the nobles and wealthy families of Varanasi are going to betray me? Let's put that aside for now, I must quickly resolve this matter first.' Therefore, King Brahmadatta of Kasi commanded his attendants, 'Go quickly, kill King Kosala Long-Life, and cut him into seven pieces.' The attendants received the order and immediately went, killed King Long-Life, and cut him into seven pieces. At that time, the boy Long-Life urged the nobles and wealthy families in the city of Varanasi, saying these words, 'Everyone, look at this, King Brahmadatta of Kasi is cruel and without morality. He captured my father, King Kosala Long-Life, who was without fault, seized his national treasury and possessions, and with resentment and cruelty, unjustly killed him, cutting him into seven pieces.'
。諸君可往,以新繒疊收斂我父,取七段尸,以一切香、香木積聚而阇維之,立於廟堂,為我作書與梵摩達哆言:「拘娑羅國王長生童子!彼作是語,汝不畏后為子孫作患耶?」』於是,波羅㮈諸貴豪族為長生童子所勸,以新繒疊即往斂,取彼七段尸,以一切香、香木積聚而阇維之,為立廟堂,亦為作書與梵摩達哆言:『拘娑羅國王長生童子!彼作是語,汝不畏后為子孫作患耶?』
「於是,長壽王妻告長生童子曰:『汝當知此加赦國王梵摩達哆酷暴無道,彼取汝父拘娑羅國王長壽無過之人,奪取其國倉庫財物,怨酷枉殺,斬作七段。童子汝來!共乘一車,走出波羅㮈,若不去者,禍將及汝。』於是,長壽王妻與長生童子共乘一車,走出波羅㮈。爾時,長生童子作如是念:『我寧可往至村村邑邑,受學博聞。』長生童子作是念已,便往至村村邑邑,受學博聞,以博聞故,即轉名為長生博士。
「長生博士復作是念:『所為學者,我今已得,我寧可往波羅㮈都邑中,住街街巷巷,以歡悅顏色作妙音伎,如是波羅㮈諸貴豪族聞已,當大歡喜而自娛樂。』長生博士作是念已,便往至波羅㮈都邑中,住街街巷巷,歡悅顏色作妙音伎,如是波羅㮈諸貴豪族聞已,極大歡喜而自娛樂
現代漢語譯本:'諸位可以去,用新的絲綢包裹我父親的遺體,取回他被斬斷的七段屍體,用各種香料和香木堆積起來火化,然後在廟堂里為他設立靈位。還要為我寫信給梵摩達哆說:「拘薩羅國王的長生童子這樣說,你難道不怕將來給你的子孫帶來禍患嗎?」』於是,波羅奈的各位貴族豪門被長生童子勸說,用新的絲綢包裹遺體,取回那七段屍體,用各種香料和香木堆積起來火化,為他設立廟堂,也為他寫信給梵摩達哆說:『拘薩羅國王的長生童子這樣說,你難道不怕將來給你的子孫帶來禍患嗎?』 現代漢語譯本:'這時,長壽王的妻子告訴長生童子說:「你應該知道,這個加赦國王梵摩達哆殘暴無道,他奪取了你父親拘薩羅國王長壽的性命,他本是無辜之人,還奪取了他的國庫財物,怨恨地枉殺了他,將他斬成七段。孩子,你快來!我們一起乘車離開波羅奈,如果再不走,災禍就要降臨到你身上了。」』於是,長壽王的妻子和長生童子一起乘車離開了波羅奈。當時,長生童子這樣想:『我寧願去各個村莊城鎮,學習廣博的知識。』長生童子這樣想后,就去了各個村莊城鎮,學習廣博的知識,因為他知識淵博,所以人們就稱他為長生博士。 現代漢語譯本:'長生博士又想:『我所要學習的知識,現在已經得到了,我寧願去波羅奈的都城,住在街頭巷尾,用歡快的表情表演美妙的音樂技藝,這樣波羅奈的各位貴族豪門聽了之後,一定會非常高興,並以此自娛自樂。』長生博士這樣想后,就去了波羅奈的都城,住在街頭巷尾,用歡快的表情表演美妙的音樂技藝,這樣波羅奈的各位貴族豪門聽了之後,都非常高興,並以此自娛自樂。
English version: 'You all may go, use new silk to wrap my father's body, retrieve the seven pieces of his corpse, pile them up with all kinds of incense and fragrant wood and cremate them. Then, establish a memorial in the temple, and write a letter to Brahmadata saying: 「Prince Changsheng of Kosala says this, are you not afraid of bringing disaster to your descendants in the future?」』 Thereupon, the nobles and powerful families of Varanasi, persuaded by Prince Changsheng, used new silk to wrap the body, retrieved the seven pieces of the corpse, piled them up with all kinds of incense and fragrant wood and cremated them. They established a temple for him, and also wrote a letter to Brahmadata saying: 『Prince Changsheng of Kosala says this, are you not afraid of bringing disaster to your descendants in the future?』 English version: 'At this time, the wife of King Changshou told Prince Changsheng: 「You should know that this King Brahmadata of Kashi is cruel and tyrannical. He took the life of your father, King Changshou of Kosala, who was innocent, and also seized his treasury and wealth. He killed him out of hatred, cutting him into seven pieces. Child, come! Let's leave Varanasi together in a carriage. If we don't leave, disaster will befall you.」』 Thereupon, the wife of King Changshou and Prince Changsheng left Varanasi together in a carriage. At that time, Prince Changsheng thought: 『I would rather go to various villages and towns to learn and gain extensive knowledge.』 After thinking this, Prince Changsheng went to various villages and towns to learn and gain extensive knowledge. Because of his extensive knowledge, he was then called Doctor Changsheng. English version: 'Doctor Changsheng then thought: 『What I wanted to learn, I have now obtained. I would rather go to the capital city of Varanasi, live in the streets and alleys, and perform beautiful music with a joyful expression. When the nobles and powerful families of Varanasi hear this, they will be very happy and entertain themselves with it.』 After thinking this, Doctor Changsheng went to the capital city of Varanasi, lived in the streets and alleys, and performed beautiful music with a joyful expression. When the nobles and powerful families of Varanasi heard this, they were all very happy and entertained themselves with it.'
。於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆外眷屬聞,中眷屬、內眷屬、梵志國師,展轉乃至加赦國王梵摩達哆聞,便呼見。
「於是,長生博士即往詣加赦國王梵摩達哆所,向彼而立,以歡悅顏色作妙音伎,如是加赦國王梵摩達哆聞已,極大歡喜而自娛樂。於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆告曰:『博士!汝從今日可依我住,當相供給。』於是,長生博士即依彼住,加赦國王梵摩達哆即供給之,后遂信任,一以委付,即持衛身刀劍授與長生博士。
「爾時,加赦國王梵摩達哆便敕御者:『汝可嚴駕,我欲出獵。』御者受教,即便嚴駕訖,還白曰:『嚴駕已辦,隨天王意。』於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆便與長生博士共乘車出,長生博士即作是念:『此加赦國王梵摩達哆酷暴無道,彼取我父拘娑羅國王長壽無過之人,奪取其國倉庫財物,怨酷枉殺,斬作七段。我今寧可御車,使離四種軍眾各在異處。』長生博士作是念已,即便御車離四種軍,各在異處。
「彼時,加赦國王梵摩達哆冒涉涂路,風熱所逼,煩悶渴乏,疲極欲臥,即便下車,枕長生博士膝眠。於是,長生博士復作是念:『此加赦國王梵摩達哆酷暴無道,彼取我父無過之人,奪取其國倉庫財物,怨酷枉殺,斬作七段。然於今日已在我手,但當報怨
於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆的外眷屬聽聞此事,接著是中眷屬、內眷屬、婆羅門國師,層層傳達,最終加赦國王梵摩達哆也聽說了,便召見了長生博士。 『於是,長生博士就前往加赦國王梵摩達哆那裡,站在他面前,用愉悅的表情和美妙的音樂表演,加赦國王梵摩達哆聽了之後,非常高興,並以此為樂。於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆說道:『博士!從今天起,你可以住在我這裡,我會供養你。』於是,長生博士就住在了那裡,加赦國王梵摩達哆也供養他,後來就信任他,把一切都委託給他,甚至把防身的刀劍都交給了長生博士。 『當時,加赦國王梵摩達哆就命令御者:『你準備好車駕,我要去打獵。』御者領命,立刻準備好車駕,然後稟告說:『車駕已經準備好了,聽從天王的吩咐。』於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆就和長生博士一同乘車出發,長生博士心想:『這個加赦國王梵摩達哆殘暴無道,他抓走了我父親拘娑羅國王,一個長壽且無過錯的人,奪取了他的國家倉庫財物,怨恨地枉殺了他,還把他斬成了七段。我現在應該駕車,讓四種軍隊分散在不同的地方。』長生博士這樣想著,就駕車離開了四種軍隊,使他們分散在不同的地方。 『那時,加赦國王梵摩達哆在泥濘的路上行走,被風熱所逼,感到煩悶口渴,疲憊不堪,想要睡覺,就下了車,枕著長生博士的膝蓋睡著了。於是,長生博士又想:『這個加赦國王梵摩達哆殘暴無道,他抓走了我父親,一個無過錯的人,奪取了他的國家倉庫財物,怨恨地枉殺了他,還把他斬成了七段。現在他就在我手中,我應該報仇雪恨。』
Then, the outer retinue of King Brahmadatta of Kasi heard of this, followed by the middle retinue, the inner retinue, the Brahmin royal teacher, and so on, until King Brahmadatta of Kasi also heard, and he summoned him. 'Then, the Doctor Long-Life went to King Brahmadatta of Kasi, stood before him, and with a joyful expression, performed beautiful music. King Brahmadatta of Kasi, having heard this, was greatly pleased and entertained himself. Then, King Brahmadatta of Kasi said: 'Doctor! From today, you may stay with me, and I will provide for you.' Then, the Doctor Long-Life stayed there, and King Brahmadatta of Kasi provided for him. Later, he trusted him and entrusted everything to him, even giving his personal sword to the Doctor Long-Life. 'At that time, King Brahmadatta of Kasi ordered the charioteer: 'Prepare the chariot, I want to go hunting.' The charioteer obeyed, immediately prepared the chariot, and then reported: 'The chariot is ready, as the King wishes.' Then, King Brahmadatta of Kasi and the Doctor Long-Life set off together in the chariot. The Doctor Long-Life thought: 'This King Brahmadatta of Kasi is cruel and unjust. He captured my father, King Kosala, a long-lived and innocent man, seized his kingdom's treasury and wealth, and killed him out of hatred, cutting him into seven pieces. Now I should drive the chariot, making the four divisions of the army separate in different places.' Having thought this, the Doctor Long-Life drove the chariot away from the four divisions of the army, making them separate in different places. 'At that time, King Brahmadatta of Kasi, traveling on a muddy road, was oppressed by the hot wind, felt troubled and thirsty, and was exhausted and wanted to sleep. He got out of the chariot and slept with his head on the Doctor Long-Life's lap. Then, the Doctor Long-Life thought again: 'This King Brahmadatta of Kasi is cruel and unjust. He captured my father, an innocent man, seized his kingdom's treasury and wealth, and killed him out of hatred, cutting him into seven pieces. Now he is in my hands, I should take revenge.'
。』長生博士作是念已,即拔利刀,著加赦國王梵摩達哆頸上而作是語:『我今殺汝!我今殺汝!』長生博士復作是念:『我為不是。所以者何?憶父昔日在標下時,臨終語我:「童子可忍!童子可忍!莫起怨結,但當行慈。」』憶已,舉刀還內鞘中。
「彼時,加赦國王梵摩達哆,夢見拘娑羅國王長壽兒長生童子,手拔利刀,著我頸上而作此言:『我今殺汝!我今殺汝!』見已恐怖,身毛皆豎,便疾驚寤,起語長生博士:『汝今當知我于夢中,見拘娑羅國王長壽兒長生童子,手拔利刀,著我頸上而作是言:「我今殺汝!我今殺汝!」』長生博士聞已,白曰:『天王勿怖!天王勿怖!所以者何?彼拘娑羅國王長壽兒長生童子者,即我身是。天王!我作是念:「加赦國王梵摩達哆酷暴無道,彼取我父無過之人,奪取其國倉庫財物,怨酷枉殺,斬作七段。而於今日已在我手,但當報怨。」天王!我拔利刀,著王頸上而作是語:「我今殺汝!我今殺汝!」天王!我復作是念:「我為不是。所以者何?憶父昔日在標下時,臨終語我:『童子可忍!童子可忍!莫起怨結,但當行慈。』」憶已舉刀還內鞘中。』
「加赦國王梵摩達哆語曰:『童子!汝作是說:「童子可忍!童子可忍!」我已知此義
現代漢語譯本:長生博士這樣想后,就拔出利刀,架在加赦國王梵摩達哆的脖子上,說道:『我現在要殺你!我現在要殺你!』長生博士又想:『我這樣做不對。為什麼呢?因為我記得父親以前在刑場上,臨終時對我說:「孩子要忍耐!孩子要忍耐!不要結下怨恨,應當行慈悲。」』想到這裡,就收回刀,放回刀鞘中。 當時,加赦國王梵摩達哆夢見拘娑羅國王的長壽之子長生童子,手持利刀,架在自己的脖子上,並說:『我現在要殺你!我現在要殺你!』他看到后非常害怕,汗毛都豎了起來,立刻驚醒,起身對長生博士說:『你現在要知道,我在夢中,看見拘娑羅國王的長壽之子長生童子,手持利刀,架在我的脖子上,並說:「我現在要殺你!我現在要殺你!」』長生博士聽后,回答說:『大王不要害怕!大王不要害怕!為什麼呢?因為那個拘娑羅國王的長壽之子長生童子,就是我。大王!我曾想:「加赦國王梵摩達哆殘暴無道,他抓了我無辜的父親,奪取了他的國家倉庫財物,怨恨地枉殺了他,把他斬成七段。而今天他已經在我手中,我應當報仇。」大王!我拔出利刀,架在您的脖子上,並說:「我現在要殺你!我現在要殺你!」大王!我又想:「我這樣做不對。為什麼呢?因為我記得父親以前在刑場上,臨終時對我說:『孩子要忍耐!孩子要忍耐!不要結下怨恨,應當行慈悲。』」想到這裡,就收回刀,放回刀鞘中。』 加赦國王梵摩達哆說:『孩子!你說「孩子要忍耐!孩子要忍耐!」我已經明白這個道理了。
English version: After thinking this, Doctor Changsheng drew his sharp sword and placed it on King Fanmodaduo of Jiasha's neck, saying, 'I will kill you now! I will kill you now!' Doctor Changsheng then thought, 'What I am doing is wrong. Why? Because I remember my father, when he was at the execution ground, told me before his death, 「Child, you must endure! Child, you must endure! Do not harbor resentment, but practice compassion.」' Remembering this, he put the sword back into its sheath. At that time, King Fanmodaduo of Jiasha dreamed of Changsheng, the son of King Jusuola, holding a sharp sword to his neck, saying, 'I will kill you now! I will kill you now!' After seeing this, he was terrified, his hair stood on end, and he immediately woke up in fright. He got up and said to Doctor Changsheng, 'You must know that in my dream, I saw Changsheng, the son of King Jusuola, holding a sharp sword to my neck, saying, 「I will kill you now! I will kill you now!」' After hearing this, Doctor Changsheng replied, 'Great King, do not be afraid! Great King, do not be afraid! Why? Because that Changsheng, the son of King Jusuola, is me. Great King! I thought, 「King Fanmodaduo of Jiasha is cruel and unjust. He captured my innocent father, seized his country's treasury and wealth, and killed him out of hatred, cutting him into seven pieces. And today he is in my hands, I should take revenge.」 Great King! I drew my sharp sword and placed it on your neck, saying, 「I will kill you now! I will kill you now!」 Great King! I then thought, 「What I am doing is wrong. Why? Because I remember my father, when he was at the execution ground, told me before his death, 『Child, you must endure! Child, you must endure! Do not harbor resentment, but practice compassion.』」 Remembering this, I put the sword back into its sheath.' King Fanmodaduo of Jiasha said, 'Child! You said, 「Child, you must endure! Child, you must endure!」 I have already understood this meaning.'
。童子又言:「莫起怨結,但當行慈」者,此謂何義?』長生童子答曰:『天王!莫起怨結,但當行慈者,即謂此也。』加赦國王梵摩達哆聞已,語曰:『童子!從今日始,我所領國盡以相與,汝父本國還持付卿。所以者何?汝所作甚難,乃惠我命。』長生童子聞已,白曰:『天王本國自屬天王,我父本國可以見還。』
「於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆與長生童子共載還歸,入波羅㮈城,坐正殿上,告諸臣曰:『卿等若見拘娑羅國王長壽兒長生童子者,當云何耶?』諸臣聞已,或有白曰:『天王!若見彼者,當截其手。』或復作是語:『天王!若見彼者,當截其足。』或復作是語:『當斷其命。』加赦國王梵摩達哆告諸臣曰:『卿等欲見拘娑羅國王長壽兒長生童子者,即此是也。汝等莫起惡意向此童子。所以者何?此童子所作甚難,惠與我命。』於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆以王沐浴浴長生童子,涂以王香,衣以王服,令坐金御床,以女妻之,還其本國。」
「比丘!彼諸國王剎利頂生王,為大國主,整御天下,自行忍辱,複稱嘆忍;自行慈心,複稱嘆慈;自行恩惠,複稱恩惠。諸比丘!汝亦應如是,至信、舍家、無家、學道,當行忍辱,複稱嘆忍;自行慈心,複稱嘆慈;自行恩惠,複稱恩惠
現代漢語譯本:童子又說:『不要結下怨恨,只應當施行慈愛』,這是什麼意思呢?』長生童子回答說:『天王!不要結下怨恨,只應當施行慈愛,就是指這個意思。』加赦國王梵摩達哆聽了之後,說道:『童子!從今天開始,我所統治的國家全部給你,你父親的國家也還給你。為什麼呢?因為你所做的事情非常難得,是救了我的性命。』長生童子聽了之後,說道:『天王,您的國家本來就屬於您,我父親的國家可以歸還給我。』 於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆和長生童子一同乘車返回,進入波羅㮈城,坐在正殿之上,告訴各位大臣說:『你們如果見到拘娑羅國王長壽的兒子長生童子,會怎麼樣呢?』各位大臣聽了之後,有的回答說:『天王!如果見到他,就砍斷他的手。』有的又說:『天王!如果見到他,就砍斷他的腳。』有的又說:『應當殺掉他的性命。』加赦國王梵摩達哆告訴各位大臣說:『你們想見拘娑羅國王長壽的兒子長生童子嗎?他就是這個人。你們不要對這個童子產生惡意。為什麼呢?因為這個童子所做的事情非常難得,是救了我的性命。』於是,加赦國王梵摩達哆用國王的沐浴給長生童子洗澡,塗上國王的香料,穿上國王的衣服,讓他坐在金色的御床上,把女兒嫁給他,並歸還了他的國家。 『比丘們!那些國王、剎帝利、頂生王,作為大國的君主,治理天下,自己實行忍辱,又稱讚忍辱;自己實行慈心,又稱讚慈心;自己實行恩惠,又稱讚恩惠。各位比丘!你們也應當像這樣,至誠相信、捨棄家庭、離開家庭、學習佛道,應當實行忍辱,又稱讚忍辱;自己實行慈心,又稱讚慈心;自己實行恩惠,又稱讚恩惠。』
English version: The boy also said, 『Do not harbor resentment, but should practice compassion.』 What does this mean?』 The Long-Life Boy replied, 『Your Majesty! Do not harbor resentment, but should practice compassion, that is what it means.』 King Brahmadatta, having heard this, said, 『Boy! From today onwards, the kingdom I rule is entirely yours, and your father』s kingdom is also returned to you. Why? Because what you have done is very difficult, you have saved my life.』 The Long-Life Boy, having heard this, said, 『Your Majesty, your kingdom originally belongs to you, and my father』s kingdom can be returned to me.』 Then, King Brahmadatta and the Long-Life Boy rode together back, entered the city of Varanasi, sat on the main hall, and told the ministers, 『If you were to see the Long-Life Boy, the son of King Koshala, what would you do?』 The ministers, having heard this, some replied, 『Your Majesty! If we see him, we will cut off his hands.』 Some others said, 『Your Majesty! If we see him, we will cut off his feet.』 Some others said, 『We should take his life.』 King Brahmadatta told the ministers, 『Do you want to see the Long-Life Boy, the son of King Koshala? This is him. You should not harbor ill will towards this boy. Why? Because what this boy has done is very difficult, he has saved my life.』 Then, King Brahmadatta bathed the Long-Life Boy with the royal bath, applied royal perfumes, dressed him in royal clothes, had him sit on a golden royal bed, married his daughter to him, and returned his kingdom to him. 『Monks! Those kings, Kshatriyas, and crowned kings, as rulers of great kingdoms, governed the world, practiced patience themselves, and praised patience; practiced compassion themselves, and praised compassion; practiced kindness themselves, and praised kindness. Monks! You should also be like this, with sincere faith, abandoning your homes, leaving your homes, learning the Way, you should practice patience, and praise patience; practice compassion yourselves, and praise compassion; practice kindness yourselves, and praise kindness.』
於是,諸比丘聞佛所說,有作是言:「世尊法主今且住也,彼導說我,我那得不導說彼。」
於是,世尊不悅可拘舍彌諸比丘所行威儀、禮節、所學、所習,即從坐起,而說頌曰:
「以若干言語, 破壞最尊眾, 破壞聖眾時, 無有能訶止。 碎身至斷命, 奪象牛馬財, 破國滅亡盡, 彼猶故和解。 況汝小言罵, 不能制和合, 若不思真義, 怨結焉得息。 罵詈責數說, 而能制和合, 若思真實義, 怨結必得息。 若以諍止諍, 至竟不見止, 瞋向慧真人, 口說無賴言, 誹謗牟尼聖, 是下賤非智。 他人不解義, 唯我獨能知, 若有能解義, 彼恚便得息。 若得定為侶, 慧者共修善, 捨本所執意, 歡喜常相隨。 若不得定伴, 慧者獨修善, 如王嚴治國, 如象獨在野。 獨行莫為惡, 如象獨在野, 獨行為善勝, 勿與惡共會。 學不得善友, 不與己等者, 當堅意獨住, 勿與惡共會。」
爾時,世尊說此頌已,即以如意足乘虛而去,至婆羅樓羅村
於是,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,有人這樣說:『世尊是法主,現在且住在這裡吧,他引導我們,我們怎能不引導他呢?』 於是,世尊對拘睒彌的比丘們的行為舉止、禮儀、所學、所習感到不悅,便從座位起身,說了以下偈頌: 『以各種言語,破壞最尊貴的僧團,當破壞聖眾時,沒有人能夠制止。 即使是粉身碎骨,甚至喪命,被奪走大象、牛、馬等財物,國家被摧毀滅亡,他們尚且能夠和解。 何況你們只是小小的言語爭罵,卻不能制止不和,如果不思考真正的意義,怨恨的結怎麼能夠平息呢? 如果通過責罵、斥責、數落就能制止不和,如果思考真正的意義,怨恨的結必定能夠平息。 如果用爭鬥來停止爭鬥,最終是無法停止的,只有忍耐才能停止爭鬥,這是值得尊敬的法則。 對有智慧的真人發怒,口出無賴之言,誹謗牟尼聖者,這是愚蠢的行為。 他人不理解真義,只有我才能理解,如果有人能夠理解真義,他們的憤怒就會平息。 如果能找到禪定的同伴,有智慧的人一起修行善法,捨棄原本的執念,歡喜常常相隨。 如果找不到禪定的同伴,有智慧的人就獨自修行善法,如同國王嚴厲治理國家,如同大象獨自在野外。 獨自行動不要作惡,如同大象獨自在野外,獨自行動行善是殊勝的,不要與惡人同處。 如果學習時找不到好的朋友,找不到與自己平等的人,應當堅定意志獨自居住,不要與惡人同處。』 當時,世尊說完這些偈頌后,就以如意足騰空而去,到達婆羅樓羅村。
Then, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, some spoke thus: 『The Blessed One is the lord of the Dharma, let him stay here for now; he guides us, how can we not guide him?』 Then, the Blessed One, displeased with the conduct, manners, learning, and practices of the bhikkhus of Kosambi, rose from his seat and spoke the following verses: 『With various words, they destroy the most venerable Sangha; when the holy assembly is destroyed, there is no one who can stop it. Even if their bodies are crushed to pieces, even if they lose their lives, even if elephants, cows, horses, and other possessions are taken away, even if their countries are destroyed and perish, they can still reconcile. How much more so should you, with your petty verbal disputes, be able to stop discord; if you do not contemplate the true meaning, how can the knots of resentment be untied? If by scolding, rebuking, and enumerating faults, discord could be stopped, and if the true meaning were contemplated, the knots of resentment would surely be untied. If you try to stop strife with strife, it will never end; only patience can stop strife, this is a law worthy of respect. To be angry at a wise and virtuous person, to speak vile words, to slander the sage Muni, this is foolishness. Others do not understand the true meaning, only I understand it; if someone can understand the true meaning, their anger will subside. If one can find a companion in meditation, the wise will practice good together, abandoning their original attachments, and joy will always follow. If one cannot find a companion in meditation, the wise will practice good alone, like a king who governs his country strictly, like an elephant alone in the wilderness. Do not do evil when alone, like an elephant alone in the wilderness; it is superior to do good alone, do not associate with the wicked. If in learning, one cannot find a good friend, one who is equal to oneself, one should firmly resolve to live alone, do not associate with the wicked.』 Then, having spoken these verses, the Blessed One, by his miraculous power, rose into the air and went to the village of Bhalarohita.
。於是婆羅樓羅村,有尊者婆咎釋家子,晝夜不眠,精勤行道,志行常定,住道品法。尊者釋家子遙見佛來,見已往迎,攝佛衣缽,為佛敷床,汲水洗足,佛洗足已,坐尊者釋家子婆咎座,坐已,告曰:「婆咎比丘!汝常安隱,無所乏耶?」
尊者釋家子婆咎白曰:「世尊!我常安隱,無有所乏。」
世尊復問:「婆咎比丘!云何安隱,無所乏耶?」
尊者婆咎白曰:「世尊!我晝夜不眠,精勤行道,志行常定,住道品法。世尊!如是我常安隱,無有所乏。」
世尊復念:「此族姓子游行安樂,我今寧可為彼說法。」作是念已,便為尊者婆咎說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,從坐起去,往至護寺林。入護寺林中,至一樹下,敷尼師檀,結跏趺坐。
世尊復念:「我已得脫彼拘舍彌諸比丘輩,數數斗訟,相伏相憎,相瞋共諍,我不喜念彼方,謂拘舍彌諸比丘輩所住處也。」
當爾之時,有一大象為眾象王,彼離象眾而獨遊行,亦至護寺林。入護寺林中,至賢娑羅樹,倚賢娑羅樹立
現代漢語譯本:於是,在婆羅樓羅村,有一位名叫婆咎的釋迦族尊者,他日夜不眠,精勤修行,意志堅定,安住于修道之法。尊者釋迦子遠遠看見佛陀前來,便前去迎接,接過佛陀的衣缽,為佛陀鋪設床鋪,打水洗腳。佛陀洗完腳后,坐在尊者釋迦子婆咎的座位上,坐定后,對他說:『婆咎比丘!你是否安好,沒有缺乏什麼嗎?』 尊者釋迦子婆咎回答說:『世尊!我一切安好,沒有任何缺乏。』 世尊又問:『婆咎比丘!你如何做到安好,沒有缺乏呢?』 尊者婆咎回答說:『世尊!我日夜不眠,精勤修行,意志堅定,安住于修道之法。世尊!我就是這樣才能安好,沒有任何缺乏。』 世尊心想:『這位族姓子真是安樂,我應該為他說法。』想到這裡,便為尊者婆咎說法,勸導他生起渴求之心,成就歡喜之情,用種種方便為他說法,勸導他生起渴求之心,成就歡喜之情后,便從座位起身離去,前往護寺林。進入護寺林中,來到一棵樹下,鋪上坐具,結跏趺坐。 世尊又想:『我已經擺脫了拘舍彌那些比丘們,他們常常爭鬥,互相降伏,互相憎恨,互相嗔怒爭吵,我不喜歡那個地方,也就是拘舍彌那些比丘們所居住的地方。』 當時,有一頭大象,是象群之王,它離開了象群獨自前來,也來到了護寺林。進入護寺林中,來到一棵賢娑羅樹旁,倚靠著賢娑羅樹站立。
English version: Then, in the village of Bharalaurara, there was a venerable Shakya son named Bhagu, who did not sleep day or night, diligently practiced the Way, had a steadfast will, and dwelt in the Dharma of the Path. Venerable Shakya son saw the Buddha coming from afar, and upon seeing him, went to greet him, took the Buddha's robe and bowl, prepared a bed for the Buddha, and drew water to wash his feet. After the Buddha washed his feet, he sat on the seat of Venerable Shakya son Bhagu, and after sitting, said: 'Bhagu Bhikkhu! Are you always at peace, and do you lack nothing?' Venerable Shakya son Bhagu replied: 'World Honored One! I am always at peace, and I lack nothing.' The World Honored One asked again: 'Bhagu Bhikkhu! How are you at peace, and lack nothing?' Venerable Bhagu replied: 'World Honored One! I do not sleep day or night, I diligently practice the Way, my will is steadfast, and I dwell in the Dharma of the Path. World Honored One! This is how I am always at peace, and lack nothing.' The World Honored One thought: 'This son of a good family is truly at peace, I should preach the Dharma to him.' Having thought this, he then preached the Dharma to Venerable Bhagu, encouraging him to develop a thirst for it, and to achieve joy. He used countless skillful means to preach the Dharma to him, and after encouraging him to develop a thirst for it and achieve joy, he rose from his seat and left, going to the Protector's Temple Grove. Entering the Protector's Temple Grove, he came to a tree, spread out his sitting cloth, and sat in the lotus position. The World Honored One thought again: 'I have already escaped from those bhikkhus of Kausambi, who constantly fight, subdue each other, hate each other, and angrily quarrel. I do not like that place, which is where those bhikkhus of Kausambi dwell.' At that time, there was a great elephant, the king of the elephants, who had left the elephant herd and come alone, also arriving at the Protector's Temple Grove. Entering the Protector's Temple Grove, he came to a beautiful Sal tree, and stood leaning against the beautiful Sal tree.
。爾時,大象而作是念:「我已得脫彼群像輩,牝象、牡象,大小象子,彼群像輩常在前行,草為之蹋,水為之渾,我于爾時,食彼蹋草,飲渾濁水,我今飲食新草、清水。」
於是,世尊以他心智,知彼大象心之所念,即說頌曰:
「一象與象等, 成身具足牙, 以心與心等, 若樂獨住林。」
於是,世尊從護寺林攝衣持缽,往至般那蔓阇寺林。爾時,般那蔓阇寺林有三族姓子共在中住,尊者阿那律陀、尊者難提、尊者金毗羅,彼尊者等所行如是。若彼乞食有前還者,便敷床,汲水出,洗足器,安洗足蹬,及拭腳巾、水瓶、澡罐,若所乞食能盡食者,便盡食之;若有餘者,器盛覆舉。食訖收缽、澡洗手足,以尼師檀著于肩上,入室宴坐。若彼乞食有後還者,能盡食者,亦盡食之,若不足者,取前餘食,足而食之。若有餘者,便瀉著凈地,及無蟲水中,取彼食器,凈洗拭已,舉著一面,收卷牀蓆,斂洗足蹬,收拭腳巾,舉洗足器,及水瓶、澡罐,掃灑食堂,糞除凈已,收舉衣缽,澡洗手足,以尼師檀著于肩上,入室宴坐
現代漢語譯本:當時,那頭大象心想:『我終於擺脫了那群像的束縛,包括母象、公象、大小象崽。它們總是走在前面,踐踏草地,攪渾水源。那時,我只能吃它們踩過的草,喝渾濁的水。現在,我終於可以吃到新鮮的草,喝到清澈的水了。』 於是,世尊以他心通,知道那頭大象心中所想,就說了偈語:『一頭象與象同類,身形完整牙齒全,心意相通若如此,樂於獨居在林間。』 之後,世尊從護寺林整理好衣袍,拿著缽,前往般那蔓阇寺林。當時,般那蔓阇寺林有三位貴族子弟一同居住,分別是尊者阿那律陀、尊者難提和尊者金毗羅。他們是這樣修行的:如果他們中有人先乞食回來,就會鋪好床鋪,打水出來,清洗洗腳盆,放好洗腳凳,以及擦腳巾、水瓶和澡罐。如果乞來的食物能夠吃完,就全部吃完;如果還有剩餘,就用器皿盛好蓋起來。吃完飯後,他們會收好缽,洗手洗腳,把尼師檀搭在肩上,進入房間靜坐。如果他們中有人後乞食回來,能吃完就全部吃完,如果不夠吃,就取用之前剩下的食物,吃飽為止。如果還有剩餘,就倒在乾淨的地上,或者沒有蟲子的水中。然後他們會拿起餐具,清洗乾淨擦拭好,放在一邊。他們還會收起床鋪,收好洗腳凳,收起擦腳巾,拿起洗腳盆,以及水瓶和澡罐。他們會打掃食堂,清理乾淨后,收好衣缽,洗手洗腳,把尼師檀搭在肩上,進入房間靜坐。
English version: At that time, the great elephant thought to itself: 'I have finally escaped from that herd of elephants, including the female elephants, male elephants, and the young elephants of all sizes. They always walk in front, trampling the grass and muddying the water. At that time, I could only eat the grass they had trampled and drink the muddy water. Now, I can finally eat fresh grass and drink clear water.' Then, the World Honored One, with his mind-reading abilities, knew what the great elephant was thinking, and spoke this verse: 'An elephant among elephants, with a complete body and full tusks, if their minds are in harmony, they will be happy to live alone in the forest.' Afterwards, the World Honored One, having arranged his robes, took his bowl and went from the Protected Temple Forest to the Banna Manja Temple Forest. At that time, there were three noble sons living together in the Banna Manja Temple Forest: Venerable Anuruddha, Venerable Nandi, and Venerable Kimbila. This was their practice: if one of them returned from begging for alms first, he would prepare the bed, fetch water, wash the foot basin, place the footstool, and prepare the foot towel, water bottle, and wash basin. If the food he had begged for was enough, he would eat it all; if there was any left, he would store it in a container and cover it. After eating, they would put away their bowls, wash their hands and feet, place the nisidana over their shoulder, and enter their rooms to meditate. If one of them returned from begging for alms later, if he could eat it all, he would eat it all; if it was not enough, he would take the remaining food from before and eat until he was full. If there was any left, he would pour it on clean ground or into water without insects. Then they would take their utensils, wash them clean, wipe them dry, and put them aside. They would also put away the bedding, put away the footstool, put away the foot towel, pick up the foot basin, and the water bottle and wash basin. They would sweep the dining hall, clean it up, put away their robes and bowls, wash their hands and feet, place the nisidana over their shoulder, and enter their rooms to meditate.
。彼尊者等至於晡時,若有先從宴坐起者,見水瓶、澡罐空無有水,便持行取,若能勝者,便舉持來,安著一面;若不能勝,則便以手招一比丘,兩人共舉,持著一面,各不相語,各不相問。彼尊者等五日一集,或共說法,或聖默然。
於是,守林人遙見世尊來,逆訶止曰:「沙門!沙門!莫入此林。所以者何?今此林中有三族姓子,尊者阿那律陀、尊者難提、尊者金毗羅,彼若見汝,或有不可。」
世尊告曰:「汝守林人!彼若見我,必可,無不可。」
於是,尊者阿那律陀遙見世尊來,即訶彼曰:「汝守林人!莫訶世尊。汝守林人!莫止善逝。所以者何?是我尊來,我善逝來。」尊者阿那律陀出迎世尊,攝佛衣缽,尊者難提為佛敷床,尊者金毗羅為佛取水。
爾時,世尊洗手足已,坐彼尊者所敷之座,坐已,問曰:「阿那律陀!汝常安隱,無所乏耶?」
尊者阿那律陀白曰:「世尊!我常安隱,無有所乏。」
世尊復問阿那律陀:「云何安隱,無所乏耶?」
尊者阿那律陀白曰:「世尊!我作是念:『我有善利,有大功德,謂我與如是梵行共行。』世尊!我常向彼梵行行慈身業,見與不見,等無有異,行慈口業、行慈意業,見與不見,等無有異
現代漢語譯本:那些尊者們到了下午的時候,如果有先從禪坐中起來的,看見水瓶、澡罐里沒有水了,就拿著去取水,如果力氣足夠,就自己舉著拿來,放在一邊;如果力氣不夠,就用手招呼一位比丘,兩個人一起舉著,放在一邊,彼此不說話,也不互相詢問。那些尊者們每五天聚會一次,或者一起說法,或者保持聖潔的沉默。 這時,守林人遠遠地看見世尊來了,就上前阻止並呵斥說:『沙門!沙門!不要進入這片樹林。為什麼呢?因為現在這片樹林里有三位族姓子,尊者阿那律陀、尊者難提、尊者金毗羅,他們如果看見你,可能會有不好的事情發生。』 世尊告訴他說:『你這守林人!他們如果看見我,一定會高興,不會有不好的事情發生。』 這時,尊者阿那律陀遠遠地看見世尊來了,就呵斥守林人說:『你這守林人!不要呵斥世尊。你這守林人!不要阻止善逝。為什麼呢?因為這是我的尊者來了,我的善逝來了。』尊者阿那律陀出來迎接世尊,接過佛的衣缽,尊者難提為佛鋪床,尊者金毗羅為佛取水。 這時,世尊洗完手腳后,坐在那些尊者們鋪好的座位上,坐下後,問道:『阿那律陀!你一直安穩嗎,沒有什麼缺乏的嗎?』 尊者阿那律陀回答說:『世尊!我一直安穩,沒有什麼缺乏的。』 世尊又問阿那律陀:『怎麼安穩,沒有什麼缺乏呢?』 尊者阿那律陀回答說:『世尊!我這樣想:『我很有福報,有很大的功德,因為我和這樣的梵行者一起修行。』世尊!我常常對那些梵行者行慈愛的身業,無論他們是否看見,都一樣;行慈愛的口業、行慈愛的意業,無論他們是否看見,都一樣。
English version: Those venerable ones, when it was afternoon, if any one of them rose from meditation first, and saw that the water pot and the wash basin were empty, would take them to fetch water. If they were strong enough, they would carry them back themselves and place them on one side. If they were not strong enough, they would beckon to a bhikkhu, and the two of them would carry them together and place them on one side, without speaking to each other or asking each other anything. Those venerable ones would gather together every five days, either to discuss the Dharma or to maintain noble silence. Then, the forest keeper, seeing the Blessed One coming from afar, went to meet him and stopped him, saying, 'Shramana! Shramana! Do not enter this forest. Why? Because in this forest now there are three sons of good families, the venerable Anuruddha, the venerable Nanda, and the venerable Kimbila. If they see you, there might be trouble.' The Blessed One said, 'You forest keeper! If they see me, it will be good, there will be no trouble.' Then, the venerable Anuruddha, seeing the Blessed One coming from afar, rebuked the forest keeper, saying, 'You forest keeper! Do not rebuke the Blessed One. You forest keeper! Do not stop the Sugata. Why? Because this is my venerable one coming, my Sugata coming.' The venerable Anuruddha went out to greet the Blessed One, took the Buddha's robe and bowl, the venerable Nanda spread out a seat for the Buddha, and the venerable Kimbila fetched water for the Buddha. Then, the Blessed One, having washed his hands and feet, sat on the seat that the venerable ones had prepared. Having sat down, he asked, 'Anuruddha! Are you always at peace, without any lack?' The venerable Anuruddha replied, 'Blessed One! I am always at peace, without any lack.' The Blessed One asked Anuruddha again, 'How are you at peace, without any lack?' The venerable Anuruddha replied, 'Blessed One! I think thus: 'I have good fortune, I have great merit, because I practice with such Brahmacharis.' Blessed One! I always practice loving-kindness in bodily action towards those Brahmacharis, whether they see it or not, it is the same; I practice loving-kindness in speech, and loving-kindness in thought, whether they see it or not, it is the same.'
。世尊!我作是念:『我今寧可自捨己心,隨彼諸賢心。』世尊!我便自捨己心,隨彼諸賢心。世尊!我未曾有一不可心。世尊!如是我常安隱,無有所乏。」問尊者難提,答亦如是。
復問尊者金毗羅曰:「汝常安隱,無所乏耶?」
尊者金毗羅白曰:「世尊!我常安隱,無有所乏。」
問曰:「金毗羅!云何安隱,無所乏耶?」尊者金毗羅白曰:「世尊!我作是念:『我有善利,有大功德,謂我與如是梵行共行。』世尊!我常向彼梵行行慈身業,見與不見,等無有異,行慈口業、行慈意業,見與不見,等無有異。世尊!我作是念:『我今寧可自捨己心,隨彼諸賢心。』世尊!我便自捨己心,隨彼諸賢心。世尊!我未曾有一不可心。世尊!如是我常安隱,無有所乏。」
世尊嘆曰:「善哉!善哉!阿那律陀!如是汝等常共和合,安樂無諍,一心一師,合一水乳,頗得人上之法而有差降安樂住止耶?」
尊者阿那律陀白曰:「世尊!如是我等常共和合,安樂無諍,一心一師,合一水乳,得人上之法而有差降安樂住止。世尊!我等得光明便見色,彼見色光明尋覆滅。」
世尊告曰:「阿那律陀!汝等不達此相,謂相得光明而見色者,彼見色光明尋覆滅
現代漢語譯本:佛陀!我曾這樣想:『我寧願捨棄自己的想法,順從那些賢者的想法。』佛陀!我便捨棄了自己的想法,順從那些賢者的想法。佛陀!我從未有過任何不悅的心情。佛陀!我因此常常安穩,沒有任何匱乏。」難提尊者被問時,也如此回答。 又問金毗羅尊者:『你常常安穩,沒有任何匱乏嗎?』 金毗羅尊者回答說:『佛陀!我常常安穩,沒有任何匱乏。』 (佛陀)問:『金毗羅!你如何做到安穩,沒有任何匱乏呢?』金毗羅尊者回答說:『佛陀!我這樣想:『我擁有善的利益,有很大的功德,因為我與這樣的梵行者一起修行。』佛陀!我常常對那些梵行者行慈愛的身業,無論他們是否看見,都一樣;行慈愛的口業,行慈愛的意業,無論他們是否看見,都一樣。佛陀!我這樣想:『我寧願捨棄自己的想法,順從那些賢者的想法。』佛陀!我便捨棄了自己的想法,順從那些賢者的想法。佛陀!我從未有過任何不悅的心情。佛陀!我因此常常安穩,沒有任何匱乏。』 佛陀讚歎道:『好啊!好啊!阿那律陀!像你們這樣常常和合,安樂無諍,一心一師,如同水乳交融,是否能獲得超越常人的修行境界,並安樂地住止呢?』 阿那律陀尊者回答說:『佛陀!像我們這樣常常和合,安樂無諍,一心一師,如同水乳交融,能夠獲得超越常人的修行境界,並安樂地住止。佛陀!我們獲得光明就能看見色,但看見色后,光明隨即消失。』 佛陀說:『阿那律陀!你們不瞭解這個現象,認為獲得光明才能看見色,而看見色后,光明隨即消失。』

Venerable Sir, we obtain light and then see form, but after seeing form, the light immediately disappears.』 The Buddha said: 『Anuruddha, you do not understand this phenomenon, thinking that you obtain light in order to see form, and that after seeing form, the light immediately disappears.』

English version: 'Anuruddha! To prevent this trouble from arising, I dwelt in solitude, with an unperturbed mind, and practiced diligently. Because I dwelt in solitude, with an unperturbed mind, and practiced diligently, I obtained light and saw forms, but the light of seeing forms immediately vanished.' 'Anuruddha! I then thought: 『What trouble is in my mind that causes me to lose concentration and my sight to disappear? Once my sight disappears, the light I had obtained to see forms, that light of seeing forms, immediately vanishes?』 Anuruddha! I then thought: 『The trouble of joy arises in my mind, and because of this trouble of joy, I lose concentration and my sight disappears. Once my sight disappears, the light I had obtained to see forms, that light of seeing forms, immediately vanishes.』 Anuruddha! It is like a person who originally sought one treasure, but suddenly obtained four treasures. Upon seeing them, he experiences joy and happiness. Similarly, Anuruddha! The trouble of joy arises in my mind, and because of this trouble of joy, I lose concentration and my sight disappears. Once my sight disappears, the light I had obtained to see forms, that light of seeing forms, immediately vanishes. Anuruddha! Now I must think: 『I will not let the trouble of doubt arise in my mind, nor the trouble of non-mindfulness, nor the trouble of thinking of physical illness, nor the trouble of sleep, nor the trouble of excessive diligence, nor the trouble of excessive laziness, nor the trouble of fear, nor the trouble of joy.』 Anuruddha! To prevent this trouble from arising, I dwelt in solitude, with an unperturbed mind, and practiced diligently. Because I dwelt in solitude, with an unperturbed mind, and practiced diligently, I obtained light and saw forms, but the light of seeing forms immediately vanished.'

Because I do not want these afflictions to arise, I dwell in seclusion, with a mind that is not lax, practicing diligently. Because I dwell in seclusion, with a mind that is not lax, practicing diligently, I obtain light and see forms, and that light of seeing forms immediately disappears. 『Anuruddha! I further thought: 『What affliction is in my mind that causes me to lose concentration and my eye to fail, and when my eye has failed, the light I had previously obtained to see forms, that light of seeing forms immediately disappears?』 Anuruddha!

In this way, my wisdom and vision would become extremely clear.'

(七四)中阿含長壽王品八唸經第三(第二小土城誦)
一時,佛游婆奇瘦,在鼉山怖林鹿野園中。
爾時,尊者阿那律陀在枝提瘦水渚林中。彼時,尊者阿那律陀在安靜處燕坐思惟,心作是念:「道從無慾,非有欲得。道從知足,非無厭得。道從遠離,非樂聚會,非住聚會,非合聚會得。道從精勤,非懈怠得。道從正念,非邪念得。道從定意,非亂意得。道從智慧,非愚癡得。」
於是,世尊以他心智知尊者阿那律陀心中所念、所思、所行
『如果我不能正確地理解這八種修行方法,我就不能肯定地說我已經覺悟了,也不知道自己是否證得了無上正真的道。如果我不能超越世間的諸天、魔、梵、沙門、梵志,我就不能獲得種種解脫,也不能脫離各種顛倒妄想。我將不能達到生死已盡、梵行已立、所作已辦、不再受生的境界,不能如實地知曉真理。如果我能正確地理解這八種修行方法,我就可以肯定地說我已經覺悟了,也知道自己證得了無上正真的道。我將超越世間的諸天、魔、梵、沙門、梵志,獲得種種解脫,我的心將脫離各種顛倒妄想。我將達到生死已盡、梵行已立、所作已辦、不再受生的境界,如實地知曉真理。』 佛陀如是說。那些比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 《天經》第二部分結束(共一千七百七十四字) (七四)《中阿含經·長壽王品·八唸經》第三(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在婆奇瘦的鼉山怖林鹿野園中游化。 當時,尊者阿那律陀在枝提瘦的水渚林中。那時,尊者阿那律陀在安靜的地方靜坐思惟,心中這樣想:『道是從無慾中得來的,不是從有欲中得來的。道是從知足中得來的,不是從不知足中得來的。道是從遠離中得來的,不是從喜歡聚集、居住在人群中、與人交往中得來的。道是從精勤中得來的,不是從懈怠中得來的。道是從正念中得來的,不是從邪念中得來的。道是從定意中得來的,不是從散亂的心意中得來的。道是從智慧中得來的,不是從愚癡中得來的。』 於是,世尊以他心智知道尊者阿那律陀心中所想、所思、所行。
'If I do not rightly understand these eight practices, then I cannot definitively say that I have awakened, nor do I know if I have attained the unsurpassed, true path. If I cannot surpass the gods, demons, Brahma, ascetics, and Brahmins in this world, I cannot obtain various liberations, nor can I be free from various delusions. I will not be able to reach the state where birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what needs to be done is done, and there is no more rebirth, and I will not know the truth as it is. If I can rightly understand these eight practices, I can definitively say that I have awakened, and I know that I have attained the unsurpassed, true path. I will surpass the gods, demons, Brahma, ascetics, and Brahmins in this world, obtain various liberations, and my mind will be free from various delusions. I will reach the state where birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what needs to be done is done, and there is no more rebirth, and I will know the truth as it is.' The Buddha spoke thus. Those monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. The second part of the 'Heavenly Sutra' ends (a total of one thousand seven hundred and seventy-four words). (74) The third 'Eight Thoughts Sutra' of the 'Longevity King Chapter' in the 'Middle Length Discourses' (recited in the second small earth city). At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the Deer Park of the Fearful Forest on Mount Crocodile in Bhaggas. At that time, the Venerable Anuruddha was in the Waterbank Forest of Jeta. Then, the Venerable Anuruddha, while sitting in a quiet place, contemplated, thinking thus in his mind: 'The path comes from non-desire, not from desire. The path comes from contentment, not from discontent. The path comes from seclusion, not from enjoying gatherings, dwelling in gatherings, or associating with gatherings. The path comes from diligence, not from laziness. The path comes from right mindfulness, not from wrong mindfulness. The path comes from concentration, not from a scattered mind. The path comes from wisdom, not from ignorance.' Then, the World-Honored One, with his mind-reading knowledge, knew what the Venerable Anuruddha was thinking, contemplating, and doing.
。世尊知已,即入如其像定,以如其像定猶若力士屈申臂頃,如是世尊從婆奇瘦鼉山怖林鹿野園中忽沒不現,住枝提瘦水渚林中尊者阿那律陀前。是時,世尊便從定覺,嘆尊者阿那律陀曰:「善哉,善哉!阿那律陀!謂汝在安靜處燕坐思惟,心作是念:『道從無慾,非有欲得。道從知足,非無厭得。道從遠離,非樂聚會,非住聚會,非合聚會得。道從精勤,非懈怠得。道從正念,非邪念得。道從定意,非亂意得。道從智慧,非愚癡得。』
「阿那律陀!汝從如來更受第八大人之念,受已,便思道從不戲、樂不戲、行不戲,非戲、非樂戲、非行戲得。阿那律陀!若汝成就此大人八念者,汝必能離欲、離惡不善之法,至得第四禪成就游。阿那律陀!若汝成就大人八念,而復得此四增上心,現法樂居,易不難得者,如王、王臣有好緘簏,盛滿種種衣,中前欲著,便取著之,中時、中后若欲著衣,便取著之,隨意自在。阿那律陀!汝亦如是,得糞掃衣為第一服,汝心無慾,行此住止行。
「阿那律陀!若汝成就大人八念,而復得此四增上心,現法樂居,易不難得者,如王、王臣有好廚宰,種種凈妙甘美肴膳。阿那律陀!汝亦如是,常行乞食為第一饌,汝心無慾,行此住止行
現代漢語譯本:世尊知道后,立即進入如其像定。以如其像定,就像力士屈伸手臂那樣迅速,世尊就這樣從婆奇瘦鼉山怖林鹿野園中忽然消失不見,出現在枝提瘦水渚林中尊者阿那律陀面前。這時,世尊從定中醒來,讚歎尊者阿那律陀說:『好啊,好啊!阿那律陀!你能在安靜的地方靜坐思惟,心中這樣想:『道是從無慾中得來的,不是從有欲中得來的。道是從知足中得來的,不是從不知足中得來的。道是從遠離中得來的,不是從喜歡聚集中得來的,不是從安住于聚集中得來的,不是從與人聚集中得來的。道是從精勤中得來的,不是從懈怠中得來的。道是從正念中得來的,不是從邪念中得來的。道是從定意中得來的,不是從散亂的心意中得來的。道是從智慧中得來的,不是從愚癡中得來的。』 『阿那律陀!你從如來這裡再接受第八種大人之念,接受后,就思考道是從不戲樂、不戲樂行中得來的,不是從戲樂、不是從戲樂行中得來的。阿那律陀!如果你成就這八種大人之念,你必定能夠脫離慾望、脫離邪惡不善的法,達到併成就第四禪的境界。阿那律陀!如果你成就這八種大人之念,並且能夠輕易地獲得這四種增上心,在現世中安樂居住,就像國王或大臣有很好的箱子,裡面裝滿了各種各樣的衣服,想穿的時候就拿出來穿,無論何時想穿,都能隨意自在地穿上。阿那律陀!你也像這樣,把穿糞掃衣作為第一要務,你心中沒有慾望,這樣修行、安住、行走。 『阿那律陀!如果你成就這八種大人之念,並且能夠輕易地獲得這四種增上心,在現世中安樂居住,就像國王或大臣有很好的廚師,能做出各種各樣乾淨、美味、甘甜的佳餚。阿那律陀!你也像這樣,把常行乞食作為第一要務,你心中沒有慾望,這樣修行、安住、行走。』
English version: The World-Honored One, knowing this, immediately entered the Samadhi of Suchness. With the Samadhi of Suchness, as quickly as a strong man bends and stretches his arm, the World-Honored One vanished from the Fearful Forest of the Crocodile Mountain in Bhagga and the Deer Park, and appeared before the Venerable Anuruddha in the Grove of the Thin Water Bank in Jeta. At that time, the World-Honored One awoke from Samadhi and praised the Venerable Anuruddha, saying: 'Well done, well done! Anuruddha! You are able to sit in quiet contemplation, thinking in your heart: 『The path comes from non-desire, not from desire. The path comes from contentment, not from insatiability. The path comes from detachment, not from the love of gathering, not from dwelling in gatherings, not from associating with gatherings. The path comes from diligence, not from laziness. The path comes from right mindfulness, not from wrong mindfulness. The path comes from concentration, not from a scattered mind. The path comes from wisdom, not from ignorance.』 'Anuruddha! You receive from the Tathagata the eighth thought of a great man. Having received it, you contemplate that the path comes from non-playfulness, from the practice of non-playfulness, not from playfulness, not from the practice of playfulness. Anuruddha! If you achieve these eight thoughts of a great man, you will surely be able to detach from desire, detach from evil and unwholesome dharmas, and attain and abide in the fourth dhyana. Anuruddha! If you achieve these eight thoughts of a great man, and also easily obtain these four higher minds, dwelling in happiness in the present life, it is like a king or a minister who has a good chest, filled with all kinds of clothes. When he wants to wear them, he takes them out and puts them on. Whenever he wants to wear clothes, he can freely put them on. Anuruddha! You are also like this, taking the wearing of rag robes as your first priority. Your heart is without desire, and you practice, abide, and walk in this way.' 'Anuruddha! If you achieve these eight thoughts of a great man, and also easily obtain these four higher minds, dwelling in happiness in the present life, it is like a king or a minister who has a good cook, who can prepare all kinds of clean, delicious, and sweet delicacies. Anuruddha! You are also like this, taking the practice of begging for food as your first priority. Your heart is without desire, and you practice, abide, and walk in this way.'
「阿那律陀!若汝成就大人八念,而復得此四增上心,現法樂居,易不難得者,如王、王臣有好屋舍,或樓閣宮殿。阿那律陀!汝亦如是,依樹下止為第一舍,汝心無慾,行此住止行。

「阿那律陀!若汝成就大人八念,而復得此四增上心,現法樂居,易不難得者,我尚不說汝諸善法住,況說衰退?但當晝夜增長善法而不衰退。
「阿那律陀!若汝成就大人八念,而復得此四增上心,現法樂居,易不難得者,汝於二果必得其一,或於現世得究竟智,或復有餘得阿那含。
「阿那律陀!汝當成就此大人八念,亦應得此四增上心,現法樂居,易不難得已,然後于枝提瘦水渚林中受夏坐也
『阿那律陀!如果你成就了大人八念,並且又獲得了這四種增上心,那麼你就能輕易地獲得現世的安樂居所,就像國王或大臣擁有好的房屋,或者樓閣宮殿一樣。阿那律陀!你也應該如此,以樹下為第一居所,你的內心沒有慾望,以此為住止修行。 『阿那律陀!如果你成就了大人八念,並且又獲得了這四種增上心,那麼你就能輕易地獲得現世的安樂居所,就像國王或大臣擁有好的床座,鋪著毛毯、厚氈,蓋著錦緞、絲綢,有貼身的被子,兩頭安放枕頭,還有加陵伽波和邏、波遮悉哆羅那一樣。阿那律陀!你也應該如此,以草座葉座為第一座,你的內心沒有慾望,以此為住止修行。 『阿那律陀!如果你成就了大人八念,並且又獲得了這四種增上心,那麼你就能輕易地獲得現世的安樂居所,就像你如果向東方遊歷,必定會得到安樂,沒有各種痛苦的困擾;如果向南方、西方、北方遊歷,也必定會得到安樂,沒有各種痛苦的困擾。 『阿那律陀!如果你成就了大人八念,並且又獲得了這四種增上心,那麼你就能輕易地獲得現世的安樂居所,我尚且不說你各種善法會停滯不前,更何況會衰退呢?你應當日夜增長善法而不衰退。 『阿那律陀!如果你成就了大人八念,並且又獲得了這四種增上心,那麼你就能輕易地獲得現世的安樂居所,你必定會得到兩種果位中的一種,或者在現世獲得究竟的智慧,或者在來世獲得阿那含果。 『阿那律陀!你應當成就這大人八念,也應當獲得這四種增上心,輕易地獲得現世的安樂居所之後,然後在枝提瘦水渚林中接受夏季的安居。'
'Anuruddha! If you achieve the eight great thoughts of a great man, and also attain these four superior states of mind, then you will easily obtain a pleasant dwelling in this present life, just as a king or a minister has good houses, or pavilions and palaces. Anuruddha! You should also be like this, taking the foot of a tree as your primary dwelling, your heart without desire, practicing this way of dwelling. 'Anuruddha! If you achieve the eight great thoughts of a great man, and also attain these four superior states of mind, then you will easily obtain a pleasant dwelling in this present life, just as a king or a minister has good beds, spread with rugs and thick felt, covered with brocade and silk, with body-fitting quilts, pillows at both ends, and also having Kalinga-pava and Pachasittarana. Anuruddha! You should also be like this, taking a seat of grass or leaves as your primary seat, your heart without desire, practicing this way of dwelling. 'Anuruddha! If you achieve the eight great thoughts of a great man, and also attain these four superior states of mind, then you will easily obtain a pleasant dwelling in this present life, just as if you travel to the east, you will surely find peace and happiness, without any suffering or distress; if you travel to the south, west, or north, you will also surely find peace and happiness, without any suffering or distress. 'Anuruddha! If you achieve the eight great thoughts of a great man, and also attain these four superior states of mind, then you will easily obtain a pleasant dwelling in this present life, I would not even say that your various good dharmas would stagnate, let alone decline? You should increase your good dharmas day and night without decline. 'Anuruddha! If you achieve the eight great thoughts of a great man, and also attain these four superior states of mind, then you will easily obtain a pleasant dwelling in this present life, you will surely attain one of two fruits, either attaining ultimate wisdom in this present life, or attaining the state of Anagami in the next life. 'Anuruddha! You should achieve these eight great thoughts of a great man, and also attain these four superior states of mind, having easily obtained a pleasant dwelling in this present life, and then accept the summer retreat in the Jeti-thin-water-shore forest.'
爾時,世尊為尊者阿那律陀說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰。成就歡喜已,入如其像定,以如其像定,猶若力士屈申臂頃,如是世尊從枝提瘦水渚林中忽沒不見,住婆奇瘦鼉山怖林鹿野園中。
彼時,尊者阿難執拂侍佛。於是,世尊便從定覺,回顧告曰:「阿難!若有比丘游鼉山怖林鹿野園中者,令彼一切皆集講堂,集講堂已,還來白我。」
尊者阿難受佛教已,稽首禮足,即行宣敕:「諸有比丘游鼉山怖林鹿野園中者,令彼一切皆集講堂。」集講堂已,還詣佛所,頭面禮足,卻住一面,白曰:「世尊!諸有比丘游鼉山怖林鹿野園中者,已令一切皆集講堂,唯愿世尊自當知時。」
於是,世尊將尊者阿難往詣講堂,于比丘眾前敷座而坐,坐已,告曰:「諸比丘!我今為汝說大人八念,汝等諦聽,善思念之。」時,諸比丘受教而聽。
佛言:「大人八念者,謂道從無慾,非有欲得。道從知足,非無厭得。道從遠離,非樂聚會,非住聚會,非合聚會得。道從精勤,非懈怠得。道從正念,非邪念得。道從定意,非亂意得。道從智慧,非愚癡得。道從不戲、樂不戲、行不戲,非戲、非樂戲、非行戲得
當時,世尊為尊者阿那律陀說法,勸導他生起渴望,成就歡喜。用無量的方法為他說法,勸導他生起渴望,成就歡喜之後,進入瞭如其像定。以如其像定,就像力士屈伸手臂那樣短暫的時間,世尊就從枝提瘦水渚林中忽然消失不見,住在了婆奇瘦鼉山怖林鹿野園中。 那時,尊者阿難拿著拂塵侍奉佛陀。這時,世尊從禪定中醒來,回頭告訴阿難:『阿難!如果有比丘在鼉山怖林鹿野園中游歷,讓他們都到講堂集合,集合完畢后,再來告訴我。』 尊者阿難接受佛的教誨后,頂禮佛足,立即去傳達命令:『在鼉山怖林鹿野園中游歷的比丘們,都到講堂集合。』集合完畢后,回到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,稟告說:『世尊!在鼉山怖林鹿野園中游歷的比丘們,我已經讓他們都到講堂集合了,請世尊自己決定何時前往。』 於是,世尊帶著尊者阿難前往講堂,在比丘眾前鋪設座位坐下。坐下後,告訴大家:『各位比丘!我現在為你們講述大人的八種念頭,你們仔細聽,好好思考。』當時,比丘們接受教誨,認真聽講。 佛說:『大人的八種念頭是:道是從無慾中得來,不是從有欲中得來;道是從知足中得來,不是從不知足中得來;道是從遠離中得來,不是從喜歡聚集、不是從安住于聚集、不是從和合聚集中得來;道是從精勤中得來,不是從懈怠中得來;道是從正念中得來,不是從邪念中得來;道是從定意中得來,不是從亂意中得來;道是從智慧中得來,不是從愚癡中得來;道是從不戲樂、不戲行中得來,不是從戲樂、戲行中得來。』
At that time, the World Honored One was teaching the Venerable Anuruddha, encouraging him to develop longing and achieve joy. He used countless methods to teach him, encouraging him to develop longing and achieve joy. Having achieved joy, he entered the Samadhi of Suchness. With the Samadhi of Suchness, in the time it takes a strong man to flex his arm, the World Honored One suddenly disappeared from the Jeta Grove by the water's edge and resided in the Deer Park of the Crocodile Mountain Fearful Forest in Bhaggisa. At that time, the Venerable Ananda was attending to the Buddha, holding a whisk. Then, the World Honored One awoke from Samadhi, turned around, and said to Ananda, 'Ananda! If there are any monks wandering in the Deer Park of the Crocodile Mountain Fearful Forest, have them all gather in the lecture hall. After they have gathered, come back and inform me.' The Venerable Ananda, having received the Buddha's instruction, bowed at his feet and immediately went to proclaim the order: 'Monks who are wandering in the Deer Park of the Crocodile Mountain Fearful Forest, all of you are to gather in the lecture hall.' After they had gathered, he returned to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, stepped aside, and reported, 'World Honored One! I have had all the monks who were wandering in the Deer Park of the Crocodile Mountain Fearful Forest gather in the lecture hall. May the World Honored One know when the time is right.' Then, the World Honored One, accompanied by the Venerable Ananda, went to the lecture hall, laid out a seat in front of the assembly of monks, and sat down. After sitting down, he said, 'Monks! I will now tell you about the eight thoughts of a great person. Listen carefully and contemplate them well.' At that time, the monks received the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said, 'The eight thoughts of a great person are: the path is attained from non-desire, not from desire; the path is attained from contentment, not from insatiability; the path is attained from detachment, not from enjoying gatherings, not from dwelling in gatherings, not from being in harmonious gatherings; the path is attained from diligence, not from laziness; the path is attained from right mindfulness, not from wrong mindfulness; the path is attained from a focused mind, not from a distracted mind; the path is attained from wisdom, not from ignorance; the path is attained from not indulging in play, not engaging in play, not practicing play, not from indulging in play, not from enjoying play, not from practicing play.'
「云何道從無慾,非有欲得?謂比丘得無慾,自知得無慾,不令他人知我無慾,得知足、得遠離、得精勤、得正念、得定意、得智慧、得不戲;自知得不戲,不欲令他知我無慾,是謂道從無慾,非有欲得。
「云何道從知足,非無厭得?謂比丘行知足,衣取覆形,食取充軀,是謂道從知足,非無厭得。
「云何道從遠離,非樂聚會,非住聚會,非合聚會得?謂比丘行遠離,成就二遠離,身及心俱遠離,是謂道從遠離,非樂聚會,非住聚會,非合聚會得。
「云何道從精勤,非懈怠得?謂比丘常行精進,斷惡不善,修諸善法,恒自起意,專一堅固,為諸善本不捨方便,是謂道從精勤,非懈怠得。
「云何道從正念,非邪念得?謂比丘觀內身如身,觀內覺、心、法如法,是謂道從正念,非邪念得。
「云何道從定意,非亂意得?謂比丘離欲、離惡不善之法,至得第四禪成就游,是謂道從定意,非亂意得。
「云何道從智慧,非愚癡得?謂比丘修行智慧,觀興衰法,得如是智,聖慧明達,分別曉了,以正盡苦,是謂道從智慧,非愚癡得
『如何說從無慾之道,不是從有欲而得呢?』意思是說,比丘獲得無慾,自己知道自己獲得了無欲,不讓別人知道我無慾,知道滿足、知道遠離、知道精進、知道正念、知道禪定、知道智慧、知道不戲論;自己知道自己獲得了不戲論,不希望讓別人知道我無慾,這叫做從無慾之道,不是從有欲而得。 『如何說從知足之道,不是從不知足而得呢?』意思是說,比丘奉行知足,衣服只求遮蔽身體,食物只求滿足肚子,這叫做從知足之道,不是從不知足而得。 『如何說從遠離之道,不是從喜歡聚集、安住聚集、結合聚集而得呢?』意思是說,比丘奉行遠離,成就兩種遠離,身體和心都遠離,這叫做從遠離之道,不是從喜歡聚集、安住聚集、結合聚集而得。 『如何說從精進之道,不是從懈怠而得呢?』意思是說,比丘經常奉行精進,斷除惡和不善,修習各種善法,經常自己發起意願,專一而堅定,爲了各種善的根本而不放棄方便,這叫做從精進之道,不是從懈怠而得。 『如何說從正念之道,不是從邪念而得呢?』意思是說,比丘觀察自身如身,觀察內在的感受、心、法如法,這叫做從正念之道,不是從邪念而得。 『如何說從禪定之道,不是從散亂的心而得呢?』意思是說,比丘離開慾望、離開惡和不善之法,直到獲得第四禪併成就,這叫做從禪定之道,不是從散亂的心而得。 『如何說從智慧之道,不是從愚癡而得呢?』意思是說,比丘修行智慧,觀察興衰之法,獲得這樣的智慧,聖潔的智慧明亮通達,分別清楚明瞭,用正道來徹底消除痛苦,這叫做從智慧之道,不是從愚癡而得。
'How is it said that the path comes from non-desire, not from having desire?' It means that a bhikkhu obtains non-desire, knows for himself that he has obtained non-desire, does not let others know that he has non-desire, knows contentment, knows detachment, knows diligence, knows right mindfulness, knows concentration, knows wisdom, knows non-proliferation; knows for himself that he has obtained non-proliferation, and does not wish to let others know that he has non-desire. This is called the path from non-desire, not from having desire. 'How is it said that the path comes from contentment, not from insatiability?' It means that a bhikkhu practices contentment, taking clothing to cover the body, and food to fill the belly. This is called the path from contentment, not from insatiability. 'How is it said that the path comes from detachment, not from enjoying gatherings, dwelling in gatherings, or joining in gatherings?' It means that a bhikkhu practices detachment, achieving two detachments, both body and mind are detached. This is called the path from detachment, not from enjoying gatherings, dwelling in gatherings, or joining in gatherings. 'How is it said that the path comes from diligence, not from laziness?' It means that a bhikkhu constantly practices diligence, cutting off evil and unwholesome things, cultivating all good things, constantly initiating intention, being focused and firm, and not abandoning skillful means for the sake of the roots of all good. This is called the path from diligence, not from laziness. 'How is it said that the path comes from right mindfulness, not from wrong mindfulness?' It means that a bhikkhu observes the inner body as the body, observes the inner feelings, mind, and dharmas as dharmas. This is called the path from right mindfulness, not from wrong mindfulness. 'How is it said that the path comes from concentration, not from a scattered mind?' It means that a bhikkhu leaves desire, leaves evil and unwholesome things, until he obtains the fourth jhana and achieves it. This is called the path from concentration, not from a scattered mind. 'How is it said that the path comes from wisdom, not from ignorance?' It means that a bhikkhu cultivates wisdom, observes the laws of rise and fall, obtains such wisdom, holy wisdom that is bright and clear, distinguishing and understanding clearly, and uses the right path to completely eliminate suffering. This is called the path from wisdom, not from ignorance.'
「云何道從不戲、樂不戲、行不戲,非戲、非樂戲、非行戲得?謂比丘意常滅戲,樂住無餘涅槃,心恒樂住,歡喜意解,是謂道從不戲、樂不戲、行不戲,非戲、非樂戲、非行戲得。
「諸比丘!阿那律陀比丘成就此大人八念已,然後枝提瘦水渚林中受夏坐也。我以此教彼在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤。彼在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤已,族姓子所為,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,唯無上梵行訖,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。」
是時,尊者阿那律陀得阿羅呵,心正解脫,得長老上尊,則于爾時而說頌曰:
「遙知我思念, 無上世間師, 正身心入定, 乘虛忽來到。 如我心所念, 為說而復過, 諸佛樂不戲, 遠離一切戲。 既從彼知法, 樂住正法中, 逮得三昧達, 佛法作已辦。 隨時任所適, 立正念正智。 鞞耶離竹林, 我壽在彼盡,
佛說如是,尊者阿那律陀及諸比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行
『如何才能說,道是從不戲論、不樂戲論、不行戲論,非戲論、非樂戲論、非行戲論中獲得的呢?』意思是說,比丘的心常常滅除戲論,安住在無餘涅槃中,心恒常樂於安住,歡喜于意解脫,這就是所謂的道是從不戲論、不樂戲論、不行戲論,非戲論、非樂戲論、非行戲論中獲得的。 『諸位比丘!阿那律陀比丘成就了這八種大人之念后,才在枝提瘦水渚林中接受夏安居。我以此教導他在遠離處獨住,內心不放逸,精勤修行。他在遠離處獨住,內心不放逸,精勤修行后,作為族姓子所應為之事,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以至誠之心捨棄家庭,出家學道,只為完成無上梵行,在現世中自己知曉、自己覺悟、自己作證而成就遊歷,生死已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不再受後有,如實知曉。』 當時,尊者阿那律陀證得阿羅漢果,心正解脫,成為長老上尊,隨即在那時說了這首偈頌: 『遙遠地知道我的思念,無上的世間導師,端正身心進入禪定,乘虛空忽然來到。 正如我心中所想,為我說法后又離去,諸佛樂於不戲論,遠離一切戲論。 既然從他那裡知道了法,樂於安住在正法中,獲得了三昧通達,佛法已經完成。 我不樂於死亡,也不希望出生,隨時任由所適,保持正念正智。 在鞞耶離的竹林中,我的壽命將在那裡終結,我將在竹林下,進入無餘涅槃。』 佛陀如此說道,尊者阿那律陀以及諸位比丘,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。
'How is it said that the path is attained from non-proliferation, non-delight in proliferation, non-practice of proliferation, non-proliferation, non-delight in proliferation, non-practice of proliferation?' It means that the bhikkhu's mind constantly extinguishes proliferation, dwells in the remainderless Nirvana, the mind is constantly delighted to dwell, rejoices in the liberation of the mind, this is what is called the path is attained from non-proliferation, non-delight in proliferation, non-practice of proliferation, non-proliferation, non-delight in proliferation, non-practice of proliferation. 'Bhikkhus! After the bhikkhu Anuruddha had accomplished these eight thoughts of a great man, he then accepted the summer retreat in the Jetiya Thin Water Grove. I taught him to dwell alone in seclusion, with a mind free from negligence, and to practice diligently. After he had dwelt alone in seclusion, with a mind free from negligence, and practiced diligently, as a clansman should do, he shaved off his hair and beard, put on the robes, with sincere faith abandoned his home, went forth to practice the path, only to complete the unsurpassed holy life, in this very life knowing for himself, realizing for himself, witnessing for himself, and achieving the journey, birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, there is no more becoming, knowing as it truly is.' At that time, the venerable Anuruddha attained the state of Arahant, his mind was rightly liberated, he became an elder and a venerable one, and then at that time he spoke this verse: 'Knowing from afar my thoughts, the unsurpassed teacher of the world, straightening his body and mind, entering into meditation, suddenly came through the void. Just as I thought in my heart, he spoke the Dharma to me and then departed, the Buddhas delight in non-proliferation, being far from all proliferation. Since I have known the Dharma from him, I delight in dwelling in the true Dharma, having attained the penetration of samadhi, the Buddha's Dharma is completed. I do not delight in death, nor do I wish for birth, I go wherever it is suitable, maintaining right mindfulness and right wisdom. In the bamboo grove of Vaisali, my life will end there, I will be under the bamboo grove, entering into remainderless Nirvana.' Thus spoke the Buddha, and the venerable Anuruddha and the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

(七五)中阿含長壽王品凈不動道經第四(第二小土城誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「欲者無常、虛偽、妄言,是妄言法,則是幻化、欺誑、愚癡。若現世欲及後世欲,若現世色及後世色,彼一切是魔境界,則是魔餌,因此令心生無量惡不善之法,增伺、瞋恚及斗諍等,謂聖弟子學時為作障礙。多聞聖弟子作如是觀,世尊所說,欲者無常、虛偽、妄言,是妄言法則是幻化、欺誑、愚癡。若現世欲及後世欲,若現世色及後世色,彼一切是魔境界,則是魔餌,因此令心生無量惡不善之法,增伺、瞋恚及斗諍等,謂聖弟子學時為作障礙。彼作是念:『我可得大心成就游,掩伏世間,攝持其心。若我得大心成就游,掩伏世間,攝持其心者,如是心便不生無量惡不善之法,增伺、瞋恚及斗諍等,謂聖弟子學時為作障礙。』彼以是行、以是學,如是修習而廣佈,便於處得心凈。于處得心凈已,比丘者或於此得入不動,或以慧為解。彼於後時,身壞命終,因本意故,必至不動。是謂第一說凈不動道
八唸經第三竟(一千九百五十四字) (七五)中阿含長壽王品凈不動道經第四(第二小土城誦) 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『慾望是無常的、虛假的、妄言的,是虛妄之法,是幻化、欺騙、愚癡。無論是現世的慾望還是後世的慾望,無論是現世的色還是後世的色,它們都是魔的境界,是魔的誘餌,因此會使心中生起無量惡不善之法,增長貪慾、嗔恚以及鬥爭等,對聖弟子在學習時造成障礙。』 多聞的聖弟子這樣觀察:『世尊所說,慾望是無常的、虛假的、妄言的,是虛妄之法,是幻化、欺騙、愚癡。無論是現世的慾望還是後世的慾望,無論是現世的色還是後世的色,它們都是魔的境界,是魔的誘餌,因此會使心中生起無量惡不善之法,增長貪慾、嗔恚以及鬥爭等,對聖弟子在學習時造成障礙。』 他這樣想:『我應當獲得大心成就而游,掩蓋世間,攝持其心。如果我獲得大心成就而游,掩蓋世間,攝持其心,那麼心中就不會生起無量惡不善之法,增長貪慾、嗔恚以及鬥爭等,對聖弟子在學習時造成障礙。』 他通過這樣的行為、這樣的學習,如此修習而廣佈,便在某處獲得心凈。在某處獲得心凈后,比丘或者在此處證入不動,或者以智慧解脫。他在後世,身壞命終,因為本來的意願,必定到達不動。這就是第一種所說的凈不動道。
The Third Chapter of the Eight Recollections Sutra (1954 characters) (75) The Fourth Sutra on the Pure Immovable Path from the Longevity King Chapter of the Middle Agama (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Kuru, residing in the Kuru city of Kammassadhamma. At that time, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'Desires are impermanent, false, and deceitful; they are the nature of falsehood, illusion, deception, and ignorance. Whether it is present desires or future desires, whether it is present form or future form, all of them are the realm of Mara, the bait of Mara. Because of them, countless evil and unwholesome states arise in the mind, increasing craving, hatred, and conflict, which create obstacles for the noble disciples in their learning.' A well-learned noble disciple observes thus: 'The Blessed One said that desires are impermanent, false, and deceitful; they are the nature of falsehood, illusion, deception, and ignorance. Whether it is present desires or future desires, whether it is present form or future form, all of them are the realm of Mara, the bait of Mara. Because of them, countless evil and unwholesome states arise in the mind, increasing craving, hatred, and conflict, which create obstacles for the noble disciples in their learning.' He thinks: 'I should attain great-mindedness and wander, covering the world, and controlling my mind. If I attain great-mindedness and wander, covering the world, and controlling my mind, then countless evil and unwholesome states will not arise in my mind, increasing craving, hatred, and conflict, which create obstacles for the noble disciples in their learning.' Through this practice, through this learning, and through such cultivation and propagation, he attains purity of mind in a certain place. Having attained purity of mind in a certain place, the monk either enters the immovable state here, or is liberated through wisdom. In the future, when his body breaks and his life ends, because of his original intention, he will surely reach the immovable state. This is the first path of the pure immovable state that has been spoken of.

'Furthermore, a well-learned noble disciple contemplates thus: whatever is form, all of it is composed of the four great elements and what is derived from the four great elements. The four great elements are impermanent, are suffering, and are subject to cessation. He practices thus, learns thus, cultivates thus, and spreads it widely, and thereby attains purity of mind in a certain place. Having attained purity of mind in a certain place, the bhikkhu either enters the immovable state or is liberated through wisdom. Later, when his body breaks up and his life ends, due to his original intention, he will surely reach the immovable state. This is called the second path to the pure immovable state.'

English version: He practices thus, learns thus, cultivates thus and spreads it widely, and in that place attains purity of mind. Having attained purity of mind in that place, the bhikkhu either enters the sphere of nothingness here, or is liberated by wisdom.

Then, the venerable Ananda, with his hands folded in reverence towards the Buddha, said: 'Venerable Sir, if a bhikkhu practices thus, without self, without what belongs to self, that 'I will not exist, what belongs to me will not exist,' and if what was originally there is completely abandoned. Venerable Sir, if a bhikkhu practices thus, will he attain extinction, will he attain parinirvana?' English version: The Buddha replied: 'Ananda, this is not certain. Some may attain it, and some may not.'
尊者阿難白曰:「世尊!比丘云何行不得般涅槃?」
世尊告曰:「阿難!若比丘如是行,無我、無我所,我當不有、我所當不有,若本有者,便盡得舍。阿難!若比丘樂彼舍、著彼舍、住彼舍者,阿難!比丘行如是,必不得般涅槃。」
尊者阿難白曰:「世尊!比丘若有所受,不得般涅槃耶?」
世尊告曰:「阿難!若比丘有所受者,彼必不得般涅槃也。」
尊者阿難白曰:「世尊!彼比丘為何所受?」
世尊告曰:「阿難!行中有餘,謂有想、無想處,于有中第一,彼比丘受。」
尊者阿難白曰:「世尊!彼比丘受余行耶?」
世尊告曰:「阿難!如是比丘受余行也。」
尊者阿難白曰:「世尊!比丘云何行必得般涅槃?」
世尊告曰:「阿難!若比丘如是行,無我、無我所,我當不有、我所當不有,若本有者,便盡得舍。阿難!若比丘不樂彼舍、不著彼舍、不住彼舍者,阿難!比丘行如是,必得般涅槃。」
尊者阿難白曰:「世尊!比丘若無所受,必得般涅槃耶?」
世尊告曰:「阿難!若比丘無所受,必得般涅槃
阿難尊者問道:『世尊,比丘如何修行才不能證入涅槃呢?』 世尊回答說:『阿難,如果比丘這樣修行,執著于「無我」、「無我所」,認為「我將不存在」、「我所將不存在」,並且對於原本存在的事物,也執著于完全捨棄。阿難,如果比丘樂於這種捨棄,執著于這種捨棄,安住于這種捨棄,阿難,比丘這樣修行,必定不能證入涅槃。』 阿難尊者問道:『世尊,如果比丘有所執受,就不能證入涅槃嗎?』 世尊回答說:『阿難,如果比丘有所執受,他就必定不能證入涅槃。』 阿難尊者問道:『世尊,那比丘執受的是什麼呢?』 世尊回答說:『阿難,是修行中還殘留的執著,也就是有想、無想的境界,在有為法中最為殊勝的境界,比丘執受的就是這些。』 阿難尊者問道:『世尊,那比丘執受的是其他的修行嗎?』 世尊回答說:『阿難,是的,比丘執受的是其他的修行。』 阿難尊者問道:『世尊,比丘如何修行才能必定證入涅槃呢?』 世尊回答說:『阿難,如果比丘這樣修行,不執著于「無我」、「無我所」,不認為「我將不存在」、「我所將不存在」,並且對於原本存在的事物,也完全捨棄。阿難,如果比丘不樂於這種捨棄,不執著于這種捨棄,不安住于這種捨棄,阿難,比丘這樣修行,必定能證入涅槃。』 阿難尊者問道:『世尊,如果比丘無所執受,就必定能證入涅槃嗎?』 世尊回答說:『阿難,如果比丘無所執受,就必定能證入涅槃。』
Venerable Ananda asked: 'Lord, how does a bhikkhu practice so as not to attain parinibbana?' The Lord replied: 'Ananda, if a bhikkhu practices thus, clinging to 'no self,' 'no self-belonging,' thinking 'I will not exist,' 'what is mine will not exist,' and clinging to the complete abandonment of what originally existed. Ananda, if a bhikkhu delights in that abandonment, clings to that abandonment, and dwells in that abandonment, Ananda, a bhikkhu practicing thus will certainly not attain parinibbana.' Venerable Ananda asked: 'Lord, if a bhikkhu has any clinging, will he not attain parinibbana?' The Lord replied: 'Ananda, if a bhikkhu has any clinging, he will certainly not attain parinibbana.' Venerable Ananda asked: 'Lord, what does that bhikkhu cling to?' The Lord replied: 'Ananda, it is the remaining clinging in practice, namely the realms of perception and non-perception, the most excellent realms among conditioned things, these are what the bhikkhu clings to.' Venerable Ananda asked: 'Lord, does that bhikkhu cling to other practices?' The Lord replied: 'Ananda, yes, that bhikkhu clings to other practices.' Venerable Ananda asked: 'Lord, how does a bhikkhu practice so as to certainly attain parinibbana?' The Lord replied: 'Ananda, if a bhikkhu practices thus, not clinging to 'no self,' 'no self-belonging,' not thinking 'I will not exist,' 'what is mine will not exist,' and completely abandoning what originally existed. Ananda, if a bhikkhu does not delight in that abandonment, does not cling to that abandonment, and does not dwell in that abandonment, Ananda, a bhikkhu practicing thus will certainly attain parinibbana.' Venerable Ananda asked: 'Lord, if a bhikkhu has no clinging, will he certainly attain parinibbana?' The Lord replied: 'Ananda, if a bhikkhu has no clinging, he will certainly attain parinibbana.'
爾時,尊者阿難叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊已說凈不動道,已說凈無所有處道,已說凈無想道,已說無餘涅槃。世尊!云何聖解脫耶?」
世尊告曰:「阿難!多聞聖弟子作如是觀,若現世欲及後世欲,若現世色及後世色,若現世欲想、後世欲想,若現世色想、後世色想及不動想、無所有處想、無想想,彼一切想是無常法、是苦、是滅,是謂自己有。若自己有者,是生、是老、是病、是死。阿難!若有此法,一切盡滅無餘不復有者,彼則無生,無老、病、死。聖如是觀,若有者必是解脫法,若有無餘涅槃者是名甘露,彼如是觀、如是見,必得欲漏心解脫,有漏、無明漏心解脫。解脫已,便知解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。
「阿難!我今為汝已說凈不動道,已說凈無所有處道,已說凈無想道,已說無餘涅槃,已說聖解脫。如尊師所為弟子起大慈哀,憐念愍傷,求義及饒益,求安隱快樂者,我今已作;汝等當復自作,至無事處,至林樹下,空安靜處,燕坐思惟,勿得放逸,勤加精進,莫令後悔。此是我之教敕,是我訓誨。」
那時,尊者阿難合掌向佛,說道:『世尊已經說了清凈不動之道,已經說了清凈無所有處之道,已經說了清凈無想之道,已經說了無餘涅槃。世尊!什麼是聖解脫呢?』 世尊告訴阿難:『阿難!多聞的聖弟子這樣觀察,如果現世的慾望和後世的慾望,如果現世的色和後世的色,如果現世的慾望之想、後世的慾望之想,如果現世的色之想、後世的色之想以及不動之想、無所有處之想、無想之想,所有這些想都是無常的、是苦的、是會滅的,這就是所謂的『自己有』。如果『自己有』,就會有生、老、病、死。阿難!如果這些法都完全滅盡,不再存在,那就沒有生,沒有老、病、死。聖者這樣觀察,如果存在,必定是解脫之法;如果存在無餘涅槃,那就是甘露。他這樣觀察、這樣見解,必定能得到欲漏的心解脫,有漏、無明漏的心解脫。解脫之後,便知道自己已經解脫,生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,不再受輪迴之苦,如實地知道真理。 『阿難!我已經為你說了清凈不動之道,已經說了清凈無所有處之道,已經說了清凈無想之道,已經說了無餘涅槃,已經說了聖解脫。就像老師對弟子那樣,以大慈悲心,憐憫關愛,尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂,我已經做了這些;你們也應當自己去做,到無人的地方,到樹林下,到空曠安靜的地方,靜坐思考,不要放逸,勤加精進,不要後悔。這是我的教誨,是我的訓誡。』 佛說完這些話。尊者阿難和眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。
At that time, the Venerable Ananda, with his palms together, addressed the Buddha, saying: 'World Honored One, you have already spoken of the pure path of immovability, you have already spoken of the pure path of the realm of nothingness, you have already spoken of the pure path of non-perception, and you have already spoken of nirvana without remainder. World Honored One! What is the holy liberation?' The World Honored One told Ananda: 'Ananda! A well-learned holy disciple observes thus: if there are desires of the present life and desires of the future life, if there are forms of the present life and forms of the future life, if there are perceptions of desires of the present life and perceptions of desires of the future life, if there are perceptions of forms of the present life and perceptions of forms of the future life, as well as perceptions of immovability, perceptions of the realm of nothingness, and perceptions of non-perception, all these perceptions are impermanent, are suffering, and are subject to cessation. This is what is called 『self-existence』. If there is 『self-existence』, there will be birth, old age, sickness, and death. Ananda! If these dharmas are completely extinguished without remainder, then there will be no birth, no old age, sickness, or death. The holy one observes thus: if there is existence, it must be the path of liberation; if there is nirvana without remainder, that is the nectar. Observing and seeing thus, one will surely attain the liberation of the mind from the outflows of desire, the outflows of existence, and the outflows of ignorance. Having attained liberation, one knows that one is liberated, that birth is exhausted, that the holy life is established, that what had to be done is done, that there is no more rebirth, and one knows the truth as it is. 'Ananda! I have now spoken to you of the pure path of immovability, I have spoken of the pure path of the realm of nothingness, I have spoken of the pure path of non-perception, I have spoken of nirvana without remainder, and I have spoken of holy liberation. Just as a teacher, with great compassion, cares for his disciples, seeking righteousness and benefit, seeking peace and happiness, I have done these things; you should also do them yourselves, go to secluded places, to the foot of trees, to empty and quiet places, sit in meditation and contemplate, do not be negligent, strive diligently, and do not regret it. This is my teaching, this is my instruction.' The Buddha spoke thus. The Venerable Ananda and the monks, having heard the Buddha's words, joyfully practiced them.

一時,佛游郁伽支羅,在恒水池岸。
爾時,一比丘則于晡時從燕坐起,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,卻坐一面,白曰:「世尊!唯愿為我善略說法。從法世尊聞已,在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤。因在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤故,族姓子所為,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,唯無上梵行訖,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。」

《凈不動道經》第四部分結束(共一千七百八十七字) (七六)《中阿含經·長壽王品·郁伽支羅經》第五(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在郁伽支羅的恒河水池邊游化。 當時,一位比丘在傍晚時分從禪坐中起身,前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,然後坐在一旁,說道:『世尊!請您為我簡要地開示佛法。我從世尊那裡聽聞佛法后,將獨自在遠離喧囂的地方居住,不懈怠,精勤修行。因為在遠離喧囂的地方居住,不懈怠,精勤修行,那些爲了追求無上梵行而剃除鬚髮、身著袈裟、捨棄家庭、出家學道的善男子,最終會在今生自知自覺,親自證悟併成就,了知生死已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不再受輪迴之苦,如實知曉真諦。』 世尊告訴他:『比丘!你應當這樣學習,使心安定,內在不動搖,修習無量的善法,並且觀察自身如身,極其精勤地修行,樹立正念、正智,善於駕馭自己的心,使其遠離慳貪,心中沒有憂愁。還要觀察外在的身體如身體,極其精勤地修行,樹立正念、正智,善於駕馭自己的心,使其遠離慳貪,心中沒有憂愁。還要觀察內外身體如身體,極其精勤地修行,樹立正念、正智,善於駕馭自己的心,使其遠離慳貪,心中沒有憂愁。比丘!這樣的禪定,在行走時、來時都應當好好修習,在站立時、坐時、躺臥時、睡眠時、清醒時、半睡半醒時也應當修習。此外,還應當修習有覺有觀的禪定、無覺少觀的禪定,修習無覺無觀的禪定,也應當修習與喜悅同在的禪定、與快樂同在的禪定、與專注同在的禪定,修習與捨棄同在的禪定。』
The end of the fourth part of the 'Net Immovable Path Sutra' (1787 characters in total). (76) The fifth 'Uggachala Sutra' of the 'Longevity King Chapter' in the 'Middle Length Discourses' (Second Small Earth City Recitation). At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Uggachala, by the bank of the Ganges River. Then, a certain monk, in the late afternoon, arose from his meditation and went to where the Buddha was. He bowed down at the Buddha's feet, sat to one side, and said: 'Venerable Sir, may the Blessed One please teach me the Dharma briefly. Having heard the Dharma from the Blessed One, I will dwell alone in seclusion, without negligence, practicing diligently. Because of dwelling alone in seclusion, without negligence, practicing diligently, those sons of good families who have shaved their hair and beard, donned the yellow robe, and gone forth from home into homelessness, having faith, for the sake of the unsurpassed holy life, will, in this very life, know for themselves, realize for themselves, and attain the goal, knowing that birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, there is no more coming to any state of being, knowing the truth as it is.' The Blessed One said: 'Monk, you should train thus, so that the mind may be established, inwardly unmoving, cultivating immeasurable good qualities. And contemplate the inner body as the body, practicing with utmost diligence, establishing mindfulness and clear comprehension, well controlling your mind, making it free from greed, without sorrow. And contemplate the outer body as the body, practicing with utmost diligence, establishing mindfulness and clear comprehension, well controlling your mind, making it free from greed, without sorrow. And contemplate the inner and outer body as the body, practicing with utmost diligence, establishing mindfulness and clear comprehension, well controlling your mind, making it free from greed, without sorrow. Monk, such concentration should be well cultivated when going, when coming, when standing, when sitting, when lying down, when sleeping, when awake, and when half-asleep. Furthermore, you should also cultivate concentration with initial thought and sustained thought, concentration without initial thought but with sustained thought, concentration without initial thought and without sustained thought. You should also cultivate concentration accompanied by joy, concentration accompanied by pleasure, concentration accompanied by concentration, and concentration accompanied by equanimity.'

(七七)中阿含長壽王品娑雞帝三族姓子經第六(第二小土城誦)
一時,佛游娑雞帝,在青林中。
爾時,娑雞帝有三族姓子,尊者阿那律陀、尊者難提、尊者金毗羅,並皆年少新出家學,共來入此正法不久。爾時,世尊問諸比丘:「此三族姓子並皆年少新出家學,共來入此正法不久,此三族姓子頗樂於此正法、律中行梵行耶?」時,諸比丘嘿然不答。
世尊復再三問諸比丘:「此三族姓子並皆年少新出家學,共來入此正法不久,此三族姓子頗樂於此正法、律中行梵行耶?」時,諸比丘亦復再三嘿然不答。
於是,世尊自問三族姓子,告尊者阿那律陀:「汝等三族姓子並皆年少新出家學,共來入此正法不久,阿那律陀!汝等頗樂此正法、律中行梵行耶?」
尊者阿那律陀白曰:「世尊!如是。我等樂此正法,修行梵行
現代漢語譯本:因為遠離獨處,內心沒有放縱,修行精進的緣故,這些出身名門的子弟,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信念,捨棄家庭,離開世俗,學習佛道,最終完成了無上的清凈修行,在今生今世,自己覺悟,自己證得,成就解脫,生死已盡,清凈的修行已經確立,該做的已經完成,不再受輪迴之苦,如實地知曉真理。這些尊者已經通達佛法,證得阿羅漢果。 佛陀是這樣說的。那些比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地接受並奉行。 《郁伽支羅經》第五篇結束(共一千二百零六字) (七七)《中阿含經·長壽王品·娑雞帝三族姓子經》第六(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在娑雞帝的青林中游化。 當時,娑雞帝有三位出身名門的子弟,分別是尊者阿那律陀、尊者難提和尊者金毗羅,他們都年輕,剛出家不久,一起進入佛法修行。那時,世尊問眾比丘:『這三位出身名門的子弟都年輕,剛出家不久,一起進入佛法修行,他們是否樂於在這佛法和戒律中修行清凈的梵行呢?』當時,眾比丘沉默不語,沒有回答。 世尊再次三番地問眾比丘:『這三位出身名門的子弟都年輕,剛出家不久,一起進入佛法修行,他們是否樂於在這佛法和戒律中修行清凈的梵行呢?』當時,眾比丘仍然三番地沉默不語,沒有回答。 於是,世尊親自問這三位出身名門的子弟,對尊者阿那律陀說:『你們三位出身名門的子弟都年輕,剛出家不久,一起進入佛法修行,阿那律陀!你們是否樂於在這佛法和戒律中修行清凈的梵行呢?』 尊者阿那律陀回答說:『世尊!是的。我們樂於在這佛法中修行清凈的梵行。』
English version: Because of dwelling in solitude, with minds free from indulgence, and diligent in practice, these sons of noble families, having shaved their heads and beards, donned the monastic robes, with firm faith, renounced their homes, left the worldly life, and studied the Dharma, ultimately completing the unsurpassed pure conduct, in this very life, knowing for themselves, realizing for themselves, achieving liberation, their births are exhausted, the pure conduct is established, what needed to be done is done, they will not be reborn, knowing the truth as it is. These venerable ones have understood the Dharma and attained Arhatship. Thus spoke the Buddha. Those monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them. The fifth discourse, 'Uggachira Sutta,' concludes (1206 words). (77) The sixth discourse, 'Sāketā Three Clansmen Sutta' from the 'Long Life King Chapter' of the 'Middle Length Discourses' (Second Small City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was wandering in Sāketā, in the Green Grove. At that time, in Sāketā, there were three sons of noble families, Venerable Anuruddha, Venerable Nanda, and Venerable Kimbila, all young and newly ordained, who had recently entered the Dharma together. Then, the Blessed One asked the monks, 'These three sons of noble families are all young and newly ordained, having recently entered the Dharma together, do these three sons of noble families delight in practicing the pure conduct in this Dharma and Discipline?' At that time, the monks remained silent and did not answer. The Blessed One asked the monks again, a second and third time, 'These three sons of noble families are all young and newly ordained, having recently entered the Dharma together, do these three sons of noble families delight in practicing the pure conduct in this Dharma and Discipline?' At that time, the monks remained silent and did not answer, a second and third time. Then, the Blessed One himself asked the three sons of noble families, saying to Venerable Anuruddha, 'You three sons of noble families are all young and newly ordained, having recently entered the Dharma together, Anuruddha! Do you delight in practicing the pure conduct in this Dharma and Discipline?' Venerable Anuruddha replied, 'Yes, Blessed One! We delight in practicing the pure conduct in this Dharma.'
世尊問曰:「阿那律陀!汝等小時年幼童子,清凈黑髮,身體盛壯,樂於遊戲,樂數澡浴,嚴愛其身,於後親親及其父母皆相愛戀,悲泣啼哭,不欲令汝出家學道。汝等故能剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道,阿那律陀!汝等不畏王而行學道,亦不畏賊,不畏負債,不畏恐怖,不畏貧窮不得活故而行學道,但厭生、老、病、死、啼哭、憂苦,或復欲得大苦聚邊。阿那律陀!汝等不以如是心故出家學道耶?」
「阿那律陀!若族姓子以如是心出家學道者,為知所由,得無量善法耶?」
尊者阿那律陀白世尊曰:「世尊為法本,世尊為法主,法由世尊,唯愿說之,我等聞已,得廣知義。」
佛便告曰:「阿那律陀!汝等諦聽,善思念之,我當爲汝分別其義。」阿那律陀等受教而聽。
世尊告曰:「阿那律陀!若為欲所覆、惡法所纏者,不得舍樂、無上止息,彼心生增伺、瞋恚、睡眠,心生不樂,身生頻伸,多食心憂;彼比丘便不能忍飢渴、寒熱、蚊虻、蠅蚤、風日所逼,惡聲、捶杖亦不能忍,身遇諸疾極為苦痛,至命欲絕,諸不可樂,皆不堪耐。所以者何?以為欲所覆、惡法所纏,不得舍樂、無上止息故
世尊問道:『阿那律陀!你們小時候還是年幼的孩童,有著清凈的黑髮,身體強壯,喜歡玩耍,喜歡多次洗澡,愛惜自己的身體,之後與親人、父母都互相愛戀,悲傷哭泣,不希望你們出家學道。你們卻能剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信念,捨棄家庭,離開家園,學習佛道。阿那律陀!你們不是因為害怕國王而修行,也不是因為害怕盜賊,不是因為害怕負債,不是因為害怕恐怖,不是因為害怕貧窮無法生存而修行,而是厭倦了生、老、病、死、哭泣、憂愁,或者想要擺脫巨大的痛苦。阿那律陀!你們不是因為這樣的心而出家學道的嗎?』 『阿那律陀!如果一個家族的子弟因為這樣的心而出家學道,是爲了明白其中的緣由,獲得無量的善法嗎?』 尊者阿那律陀對世尊說:『世尊是佛法的根本,世尊是佛法的主宰,佛法來源於世尊,希望您能為我們講解,我們聽了之後,就能廣泛地瞭解其中的含義。』 佛陀便告訴他們:『阿那律陀!你們仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們分別解釋其中的含義。』阿那律陀等人接受教誨,認真聽講。 世尊說:『阿那律陀!如果被慾望所矇蔽,被惡法所纏繞的人,就不能捨棄享樂,達到無上的寂靜。他們的心中會產生更多的思慮、嗔恨、昏睡,心中不快樂,身體會頻繁地伸懶腰,吃得過多而憂愁;這樣的比丘就不能忍受飢渴、寒冷、炎熱、蚊子、蒼蠅、風吹日曬的侵擾,也不能忍受惡語、鞭打,身體遭受各種疾病的折磨,痛苦至極,甚至生命垂危,各種不快樂的事情都無法忍受。這是為什麼呢?因為他們被慾望所矇蔽,被惡法所纏繞,不能捨棄享樂,達到無上的寂靜。』
The World Honored One asked: 'Anuruddha, when you were young children, with pure black hair, strong bodies, enjoying games, enjoying frequent baths, cherishing your bodies, and later loving your relatives and parents, grieving and weeping, not wanting you to leave home to study the Way. Yet you were able to shave your heads and beards, wear the kasaya robe, with firm faith, abandon your families, leave your homes, and study the Way. Anuruddha, you did not practice the Way out of fear of the king, nor out of fear of thieves, nor out of fear of debt, nor out of fear of terror, nor out of fear of poverty and not being able to survive, but rather out of weariness of birth, old age, sickness, death, weeping, and sorrow, or wanting to escape the great mass of suffering. Anuruddha, is it not because of such a mind that you left home to study the Way?' They replied: 'It is so.' 'Anuruddha, if a son of a family leaves home to study the Way with such a mind, is it to understand the reasons and obtain immeasurable good dharma?' Venerable Anuruddha said to the World Honored One: 'The World Honored One is the root of the Dharma, the World Honored One is the master of the Dharma, the Dharma comes from the World Honored One. We wish that you would explain it to us, so that after hearing it, we may broadly understand its meaning.' The Buddha then said: 'Anuruddha, listen carefully, think well, and I will explain its meaning to you.' Anuruddha and the others received the teaching and listened attentively. The World Honored One said: 'Anuruddha, those who are covered by desire and entangled by evil dharmas cannot abandon pleasure and attain supreme tranquility. Their minds will generate more thoughts, anger, and drowsiness; their minds will be unhappy, their bodies will frequently stretch, they will eat too much and be worried. Such a bhikkhu will not be able to endure hunger, thirst, cold, heat, mosquitoes, flies, wind, and sun, nor will they be able to endure harsh words and beatings. Their bodies will suffer from various diseases, causing extreme pain, even to the point of death. All unpleasant things will be unbearable. Why is this so? Because they are covered by desire and entangled by evil dharmas, unable to abandon pleasure and attain supreme tranquility.'
。若有離欲,非為惡法之所纏者,必得舍樂及無上止息,彼心不生增伺、瞋恚、睡眠、心不生不樂,身不生頻伸,亦不多食,心不愁憂;彼比丘便能忍飢渴、寒熱、蚊虻、蠅蚤、風日所逼,惡聲、捶杖亦能忍之,身遇諸疾極為苦痛,至命欲絕,諸不可樂,皆能堪耐。所以者何?以非為欲所覆故,不為惡法之所纏故,又得舍樂、無上止息故。」
世尊問曰:「阿那律陀!如來以何義故?或有所除,或有所用,或有所堪,或有所止,或有所吐耶?」
阿那律陀白世尊曰:「世尊為法本,世尊為法主,法由世尊,唯愿說之,我等聞已,得廣知義。」
世尊告曰:「阿那律陀!諸漏穢污為當來有本,煩熱苦報,生、老、病、死因,如來非不盡,非不知故,或有所除,或有所用,或有所堪,或有所止,或有所吐。阿那律陀!如來但因此身故,因六處故,因壽命故,或有所除,或有所用,或有所堪,或有所止,或有所吐。阿那律陀!如來以此義故,或有所除,或有所用,或有所堪,或有所止,或有所吐
現代漢語譯本:如果一個人能夠遠離慾望,不被邪惡的念頭所困擾,他必定能夠捨棄享樂,達到至高的平靜。他的心中不會產生貪婪、嗔恨、昏睡、不悅,身體也不會感到疲憊,不會暴飲暴食,心中也不會憂愁。這樣的比丘能夠忍受飢渴、寒冷、炎熱、蚊蟲叮咬、風吹日曬,能夠忍受惡語、鞭打,身體即使遭受極大的痛苦,甚至生命垂危,各種不適都能忍受。這是為什麼呢?因為他沒有被慾望所矇蔽,沒有被邪惡的念頭所困擾,並且能夠捨棄享樂,達到至高的平靜。 世尊問道:『阿那律陀,如來是基於什麼原因,有時會捨棄某些事物,有時會利用某些事物,有時會忍受某些事物,有時會停止某些事物,有時會吐出某些事物呢?』 阿那律陀回答世尊說:『世尊是佛法的根本,世尊是佛法的主宰,佛法來源於世尊,希望世尊能夠為我們解說,我們聽了之後,就能更廣泛地瞭解其中的含義。』 佛陀便告訴他們說:『阿那律陀,你們仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們分別解釋其中的含義。』阿那律陀等人接受教誨,認真聽講。 世尊告訴他們說:『阿那律陀,各種煩惱污垢是未來痛苦的根源,是煩惱、熱惱、苦報、生、老、病、死的起因。如來並非沒有完全斷除這些煩惱,並非不瞭解這些煩惱,所以有時會捨棄某些事物,有時會利用某些事物,有時會忍受某些事物,有時會停止某些事物,有時會吐出某些事物。阿那律陀,如來只是因為這個身體,因為六根,因為壽命,所以有時會捨棄某些事物,有時會利用某些事物,有時會忍受某些事物,有時會停止某些事物,有時會吐出某些事物。阿那律陀,如來就是因為這個原因,所以有時會捨棄某些事物,有時會利用某些事物,有時會忍受某些事物,有時會停止某些事物,有時會吐出某些事物。』
English version: If one is detached from desires and not entangled by evil thoughts, he will surely be able to abandon pleasure and attain supreme tranquility. His mind will not generate greed, hatred, drowsiness, or displeasure; his body will not feel fatigue, he will not overeat, and his mind will not be troubled by sorrow. Such a bhikkhu can endure hunger, thirst, cold, heat, mosquito bites, flies, wind, and sun; he can endure harsh words and beatings; even if his body suffers extreme pain, even to the point of death, he can endure all kinds of discomfort. Why is this so? Because he is not blinded by desires, not entangled by evil thoughts, and is able to abandon pleasure and attain supreme tranquility. The World Honored One asked: 'Anuruddha, for what reason does the Tathagata sometimes abandon certain things, sometimes utilize certain things, sometimes endure certain things, sometimes stop certain things, and sometimes expel certain things?' Anuruddha replied to the World Honored One: 'The World Honored One is the root of the Dharma, the World Honored One is the master of the Dharma, the Dharma originates from the World Honored One. We hope that the World Honored One can explain it to us, so that after listening, we can understand the meaning more broadly.' The Buddha then told them: 'Anuruddha, listen carefully and think well, and I will explain the meaning to you separately.' Anuruddha and others accepted the teaching and listened attentively. The World Honored One told them: 'Anuruddha, various defilements are the root of future suffering, the cause of affliction, heat, suffering, birth, old age, sickness, and death. The Tathagata has not failed to completely eliminate these defilements, nor does he not understand these defilements. Therefore, he sometimes abandons certain things, sometimes utilizes certain things, sometimes endures certain things, sometimes stops certain things, and sometimes expels certain things. Anuruddha, the Tathagata only because of this body, because of the six senses, because of life, sometimes abandons certain things, sometimes utilizes certain things, sometimes endures certain things, sometimes stops certain things, and sometimes expels certain things. Anuruddha, the Tathagata for this reason, sometimes abandons certain things, sometimes utilizes certain things, sometimes endures certain things, sometimes stops certain things, and sometimes expels certain things.'
世尊問曰:「阿那律陀!如來以何義故,住無事處、山林樹下,樂居高巖,寂無音聲,遠離,無惡,無有人民,隨順燕坐耶?」
世尊告曰:「阿那律陀!如來非為未得欲得、未獲欲獲、未證欲證故,住無事處、山林樹下,樂居高巖,寂無音聲,遠離,無惡,無有人民,隨順燕坐。阿那律陀!如來但以二義故,住無事處、山林樹下,樂居高巖,寂無音聲,遠離,無惡,無有人民,隨順燕坐:一者為自現法樂居故,二者為慈愍後生人故。或有後生人效如來住無事處、山林樹下,樂居高巖,寂無音聲,遠離,無惡,無有人民,隨順燕坐。阿那律陀!如來以此義故,住無事處、山林樹下,樂居高巖,寂無音聲,遠離,無惡,無有人民,隨順燕坐。」
世尊問曰:「阿那律陀!如來以何義故,弟子命終,記說某生某處、某生某處?」
尊者阿那律陀白世尊曰:「世尊為法本,世尊為法主,法由世尊,唯愿說之,我等聞已,得廣知義
世尊問道:『阿那律陀!如來是出於什麼原因,住在清靜之處、山林樹下,喜歡居住在高聳的巖石上,寂靜無聲,遠離喧囂,沒有邪惡,沒有人群,順應禪定呢?』 尊者阿那律陀回答世尊說:『世尊是佛法的根本,世尊是佛法的主宰,佛法來源於世尊,希望世尊能夠解說,我們聽了之後,能夠廣泛地瞭解其中的含義。』 佛陀便告訴他說:『阿那律陀!你們仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們分別解釋其中的含義。』阿那律陀等人接受教誨,認真聽講。 世尊說道:『阿那律陀!如來並不是因為沒有得到想要得到的、沒有獲得想要獲得的、沒有證悟想要證悟的,才住在清靜之處、山林樹下,喜歡居住在高聳的巖石上,寂靜無聲,遠離喧囂,沒有邪惡,沒有人群,順應禪定。阿那律陀!如來只是因為兩個原因,才住在清靜之處、山林樹下,喜歡居住在高聳的巖石上,寂靜無聲,遠離喧囂,沒有邪惡,沒有人群,順應禪定:一是為自己體驗當下的法樂而居住,二是為慈悲憐憫後世的人。或許有後世的人會效仿如來,住在清靜之處、山林樹下,喜歡居住在高聳的巖石上,寂靜無聲,遠離喧囂,沒有邪惡,沒有人群,順應禪定。阿那律陀!如來因為這個原因,才住在清靜之處、山林樹下,喜歡居住在高聳的巖石上,寂靜無聲,遠離喧囂,沒有邪惡,沒有人群,順應禪定。』 世尊問道:『阿那律陀!如來是出於什麼原因,在弟子去世后,會記述說某人轉生到某處、某人轉生到某處呢?』
The World-Honored One asked: 'Anuruddha, for what reason does the Tathagata dwell in secluded places, under trees in the forest, delight in residing on high cliffs, in silence, far away, without evil, without people, in accordance with meditation?' Venerable Anuruddha replied to the World-Honored One: 'The World-Honored One is the root of the Dharma, the World-Honored One is the master of the Dharma, the Dharma comes from the World-Honored One. We beseech you to explain it, so that we may understand the meaning broadly after hearing it.' The Buddha then said: 'Anuruddha, listen carefully, think well, and I will explain the meaning to you.' Anuruddha and the others received the teaching and listened attentively. The World-Honored One said: 'Anuruddha, the Tathagata does not dwell in secluded places, under trees in the forest, delight in residing on high cliffs, in silence, far away, without evil, without people, in accordance with meditation, because he has not attained what he desires to attain, has not obtained what he desires to obtain, or has not realized what he desires to realize. Anuruddha, the Tathagata dwells in secluded places, under trees in the forest, delights in residing on high cliffs, in silence, far away, without evil, without people, in accordance with meditation, for two reasons: one is to dwell in the present joy of the Dharma for himself, and the other is to have compassion for future generations. Perhaps there will be future generations who will imitate the Tathagata, dwelling in secluded places, under trees in the forest, delighting in residing on high cliffs, in silence, far away, without evil, without people, in accordance with meditation. Anuruddha, for this reason, the Tathagata dwells in secluded places, under trees in the forest, delights in residing on high cliffs, in silence, far away, without evil, without people, in accordance with meditation.' The World-Honored One asked: 'Anuruddha, for what reason does the Tathagata, after a disciple passes away, record that so-and-so was reborn in such-and-such a place, and so-and-so was reborn in such-and-such a place?'
世尊告曰:「阿那律陀!如來非為趣為人說,亦不欺誑人,亦不欲得人歡樂故,弟子命終,記說某生某處、某生某處。阿那律陀!如來但為清信族姓男、族姓女,極信極愛,極生喜悅,聞此正法、律已,或心願效如是如是,故弟子命終,記說某生某處、某生某處。若比丘聞某尊者于某處命終,彼為佛所記,得究竟智,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。或自見彼尊者,或復從他數數聞之,彼尊者如是有信、如是持戒、如是博聞、如是惠施、如是智慧。其人聞已,憶彼尊者有信、持戒、博聞、惠施、智慧,聞此正法、律已,或心願效如是如是。阿那律陀!如是比丘必得差降安樂住止。

佛陀便告訴阿那律陀說:『阿那律陀!你們仔細聽著,好好思考,我將為你們分別解釋其中的含義。』阿那律陀等人聽從教誨,認真聽著。 世尊告訴阿那律陀說:『阿那律陀!如來不是爲了取悅人而說,也不是爲了欺騙人,也不是爲了讓人高興,才在弟子命終后,記說某人往生某處、某人往生某處。阿那律陀!如來只是爲了讓那些虔誠的信男信女,極其信任、極其愛戴、極其歡喜,聽聞這正法和戒律后,或許會心生效仿之心,所以才在弟子命終后,記說某人往生某處、某人往生某處。如果比丘聽到某位尊者在某處命終,並且被佛陀記說已證得究竟智慧,生死已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不再受輪迴之苦,如實知曉真諦。或者親自見到那位尊者,或者多次從他人那裡聽到,那位尊者具有這樣的信心、這樣的持戒、這樣的博聞、這樣的佈施、這樣的智慧。這個人聽聞后,回憶起那位尊者所具有的信心、持戒、博聞、佈施、智慧,聽聞這正法和戒律后,或許會心生效仿之心。阿那律陀!這樣的比丘必定能夠獲得更加安穩快樂的修行。』 『阿那律陀!再者,比丘聽到某位尊者在某處命終,並且被佛陀記說已斷盡五下分結,往生彼處而入涅槃,證得不退轉之法,不再返回此世。或者親自見到那位尊者,或者多次從他人那裡聽到,那位尊者具有這樣的信心、這樣的持戒、這樣的博聞、這樣的佈施、這樣的智慧。這個人聽聞后,回憶起那位尊者所具有的信心、持戒、博聞、佈施、智慧,聽聞這正法和戒律后,或許會心生效仿之心。阿那律陀!這樣的比丘必定能夠獲得更加安穩快樂的修行。』
The Buddha then said to Anuruddha: 'Anuruddha! Listen carefully, and contemplate well, I will explain the meaning to you.' Anuruddha and the others received the teaching and listened attentively. The World Honored One said to Anuruddha: 'Anuruddha! The Tathagata does not speak to please people, nor to deceive them, nor to make them happy, when, after a disciple's death, he declares that someone is reborn in such and such a place. Anuruddha! The Tathagata only does so for the sake of faithful men and women of good families, who have great faith, great love, and great joy, who, after hearing this Dharma and discipline, may wish to emulate such and such. Therefore, after a disciple's death, he declares that someone is reborn in such and such a place. If a bhikkhu hears that a certain venerable one has passed away in a certain place, and that the Buddha has declared that he has attained ultimate wisdom, that birth is exhausted, that the holy life is established, that what had to be done has been done, that there is no more rebirth, and that he knows the truth. Or if he has seen that venerable one himself, or has heard of him repeatedly from others, that the venerable one had such faith, such morality, such learning, such generosity, and such wisdom. When that person hears this, he remembers the faith, morality, learning, generosity, and wisdom of that venerable one, and after hearing this Dharma and discipline, he may wish to emulate such and such. Anuruddha! Such a bhikkhu will surely attain a more peaceful and joyful dwelling in the practice.' 'Anuruddha! Furthermore, if a bhikkhu hears that a certain venerable one has passed away in a certain place, and that the Buddha has declared that he has exhausted the five lower fetters, that he has been reborn there and attained Nirvana, that he has attained the state of non-regression, and that he will not return to this world. Or if he has seen that venerable one himself, or has heard of him repeatedly from others, that the venerable one had such faith, such morality, such learning, such generosity, and such wisdom. When that person hears this, he remembers the faith, morality, learning, generosity, and wisdom of that venerable one, and after hearing this Dharma and discipline, he may wish to emulate such and such. Anuruddha! Such a bhikkhu will surely attain a more peaceful and joyful dwelling in the practice.'

Having heard this, that person remembers that female lay disciple's faith, morality, learning, generosity, and wisdom, and having heard this Dharma and discipline, she may wish to emulate her. Ananda, such a female lay disciple will surely attain advancement and dwell in peace. Ananda, furthermore, if a female lay disciple hears that a female lay disciple has passed away in a certain village, and it is recorded by the Buddha that she has exhausted the three fetters, with weakened lust, anger, and delusion, has attained the state of a once-returner, and after one return between the heavens and the human realm, will attain the end of suffering. Or if she sees that female lay disciple herself, or repeatedly hears about her from others, that female lay disciple has such faith, such morality, such learning, such generosity, and such wisdom. Having heard this, that person remembers that female lay disciple's faith, morality, learning, generosity, and wisdom, and having heard this Dharma and discipline, she may wish to emulate her. Ananda, such a female lay disciple will surely attain advancement and dwell in peace.
「阿那律陀!複次,優婆私聞某優婆私于某村命終,彼為佛所記,三結已盡,得須陀洹,不墮惡趣,定趣正覺,極受七有,天上人間七往來已而得苦際。或自見彼優婆私,或復從他數數聞之,彼優婆私如是有信、如是持戒、如是博聞、如是惠施、如是智慧。其人聞已,憶彼優婆私有信、持戒、博聞、惠施、智慧,聞此正法、律已,或心願效如是如是。阿那律陀!如是優婆私必得差降安樂住止。
「阿那律陀!如來以此義故,弟子命終,記說某生某處、某生某處。」
佛說如是。尊者阿那律陀及諸比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七八)中阿含長壽王品梵天請佛經第七(第二小土城誦)
爾時,有一梵天住梵天上,生如是邪見:「此處有常,此處有恒,此處長存,此處是要,此處不終法,此處出要,此出要更無出要過其上,有勝、有妙、有最者
『阿那律陀!再者,一位優婆夷聽到某位優婆夷在某個村莊去世,她被佛陀記說,三結已斷盡,證得須陀洹果,不墮惡趣,必定趨向正覺,最多經歷七次生死,在天上人間往返七次後便能解脫痛苦。或者她親自見過那位優婆夷,或者多次從他人那裡聽到,那位優婆夷具有這樣的信心、這樣的持戒、這樣的博聞、這樣的佈施、這樣的智慧。這個人聽了之後,回憶起那位優婆夷的信心、持戒、博聞、佈施、智慧,聽聞了這正法和戒律后,或許會心生願望,效仿她那樣。阿那律陀!這樣的優婆夷必定能得到安穩快樂的住處。』 『阿那律陀!如來因為這個緣故,當弟子去世時,會記說某人往生某處,某人往生某處。』 佛陀如此說道。尊者阿那律陀和眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《娑雞帝三族姓子經》第六完(三千四百六字) 《中阿含經》卷第十八(一萬一百二十七字)(第二小土城誦) 《中阿含經》卷第十九 (七八)《中阿含長壽王品梵天請佛經》第七(第二小土城誦) 當時,有一位梵天住在梵天上,生起這樣的邪見:『這裡有常,這裡有恒,這裡長存,這裡是重要的,這裡是不終結的法,這裡是出離之道,這個出離之道沒有比它更高的,有殊勝、有美妙、有最上的。』
'Anuruddha! Furthermore, a female lay disciple hears that a certain female lay disciple has passed away in a certain village, and that she was declared by the Buddha to have exhausted the three fetters, attained stream-entry, not to fall into evil realms, to be destined for enlightenment, to experience at most seven more lives, and after seven cycles of rebirth in heavens and the human world, to attain the end of suffering. Either she has seen that female lay disciple herself, or she has repeatedly heard about her from others, that that female lay disciple had such faith, such morality, such learning, such generosity, and such wisdom. Having heard this, that person recalls that female lay disciple's faith, morality, learning, generosity, and wisdom, and having heard this Dharma and discipline, she may wish to emulate her in such and such ways. Anuruddha! Such a female lay disciple will surely attain a peaceful and happy dwelling.' 'Anuruddha! It is for this reason that the Tathagata, when a disciple passes away, declares that so-and-so is reborn in such-and-such a place, and so-and-so is reborn in such-and-such a place.' Thus spoke the Buddha. Venerable Anuruddha and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The sixth Sākya-putra Sūtra is complete (3406 characters). The 18th fascicle of the Madhyama Āgama Sūtra (10,127 characters) (Second Small Earth City Recitation). Taisho Tripitaka Vol. 01 No. 0026 Madhyama Āgama Sūtra The 19th fascicle of the Madhyama Āgama Sūtra Translated by the Tripiṭaka master Gautama Saṃghadeva of Kipin during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (78) The seventh Brahma's Request to the Buddha Sūtra of the Madhyama Āgama's Long-Life King Chapter (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At that time, a certain Brahma, dwelling in the Brahma heaven, arose with this wrong view: 'Here there is permanence, here there is constancy, here there is lastingness, here there is importance, here there is the undying Dharma, here there is the path of escape, and there is no path of escape higher than this, there is the superior, the wonderful, and the supreme.'
於是,世尊以他心智,知彼梵天心之所念,即入如其像定,以如其像定,猶若力士屈申臂頃,于舍衛國勝林給孤獨園忽沒不現,往梵天上。
時,彼梵天見世尊來,即請世尊:「善來大仙人!此處有常,此處有恒,此處長存,此處是要,此處不終法,此處出要,此出要更無出要過其上,有勝、有妙、有最者。」
於是,世尊告曰:「梵天!汝無常稱說常,不恒稱說恒,不存稱說存,不要稱說要,終法稱說不終法,非出要稱說出要,此出要更無出要過其上,有勝、有妙、有最者。梵天!汝有是無明。梵天!汝有是無明。」
時,魔波旬在彼眾中。於是,魔波旬語世尊曰:「比丘!莫違此梵天所說,莫逆此梵天所說。比丘!若汝違此梵天所說,逆此梵天所說者,是為比丘猶如有人吉祥事來,而排卻之。比丘所說亦復如是,是故,比丘!我語汝莫違此梵天所說,莫逆此梵天所說。比丘!若汝違此梵天所說,逆此梵天所說者,是為,比丘!猶如有人從山上墮,雖以手足捫摸于空而無所得。比丘所說亦復如是,是故,比丘!我語汝莫違此梵天所說,莫逆此梵天所說。比丘!若汝違此梵天所說,逆此梵天所說者,是為,比丘!猶如有人從樹上墮,雖以手足捫摸枝葉而無所得
於是,世尊運用他的心智,知道那位梵天心中所想,就進入了與其形象相應的禪定。憑藉這種禪定,就像一個力士屈伸手臂那樣迅速,世尊忽然從舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園消失,來到了梵天界。 當時,那位梵天看到世尊到來,就邀請世尊說:『善來,大仙人!這裡有常,這裡有恒,這裡長存,這裡是真諦,這裡是不終結的法,這裡是解脫之道,而且這種解脫之道再也沒有更高的了,是殊勝、美妙、最上的。』 於是,世尊告訴他說:『梵天!你把無常說成常,把不恒說成恒,把不存說成存,把非真諦說成真諦,把終結的法說成不終結的法,把非解脫之道說成解脫之道,還說這種解脫之道再也沒有更高的了,是殊勝、美妙、最上的。梵天!你這是無明。梵天!你這是無明。』 當時,魔王波旬也在那個眾會之中。於是,魔王波旬對世尊說:『比丘!不要違背這位梵天所說的話,不要反駁這位梵天所說的話。比丘!如果你違背這位梵天所說的話,反駁這位梵天所說的話,那就好比有人吉祥的事情來了,卻把它推開了。比丘你所說的話也是這樣,所以,比丘!我告訴你不要違背這位梵天所說的話,不要反駁這位梵天所說的話。比丘!如果你違背這位梵天所說的話,反駁這位梵天所說的話,那就好比有人從山上掉下來,即使手腳在空中亂抓也抓不到任何東西。比丘你所說的話也是這樣,所以,比丘!我告訴你不要違背這位梵天所說的話,不要反駁這位梵天所說的話。比丘!如果你違背這位梵天所說的話,反駁這位梵天所說的話,那就好比有人從樹上掉下來,即使手腳亂抓樹枝樹葉也抓不到任何東西。』
Then, the World-Honored One, through his mental power, knowing the thoughts in that Brahma's mind, entered into a samadhi that corresponded to his form. With this samadhi, as quickly as a strong man extends or retracts his arm, he suddenly disappeared from Jeta Grove in Sravasti and appeared in the Brahma realm. At that time, the Brahma, seeing the World-Honored One arrive, invited him, saying: 'Welcome, great sage! Here there is permanence, here there is constancy, here there is lasting existence, here is the truth, here is the law that does not end, here is the path to liberation, and this path to liberation has no higher path beyond it, it is superior, wonderful, and supreme.' Then, the World-Honored One said to him: 'Brahma! You call impermanence permanence, you call inconstancy constancy, you call non-existence existence, you call non-truth truth, you call the law that ends the law that does not end, you call non-liberation the path to liberation, and you say that this path to liberation has no higher path beyond it, it is superior, wonderful, and supreme. Brahma! You are in ignorance. Brahma! You are in ignorance.' At that time, Mara Papiyan was also in that assembly. Then, Mara Papiyan said to the World-Honored One: 'Monk! Do not contradict what this Brahma has said, do not oppose what this Brahma has said. Monk! If you contradict what this Brahma has said, oppose what this Brahma has said, it is as if someone has good fortune coming to them, but they push it away. What you say is also like that, therefore, Monk! I tell you not to contradict what this Brahma has said, not to oppose what this Brahma has said. Monk! If you contradict what this Brahma has said, oppose what this Brahma has said, it is as if someone falls from a mountain, and even if they flail their hands and feet in the air, they will not find anything to hold onto. What you say is also like that, therefore, Monk! I tell you not to contradict what this Brahma has said, not to oppose what this Brahma has said. Monk! If you contradict what this Brahma has said, oppose what this Brahma has said, it is as if someone falls from a tree, and even if they flail their hands and feet at the branches and leaves, they will not find anything to hold onto.'
。比丘所說亦復如是,是故,比丘!我語汝莫違此梵天所說,莫逆此梵天所說。所以者何?此梵天梵,福祐、能化、最尊、能作、能造、是父,已有、當有一切眾生皆從是生,此所知盡知、所見盡見。
「大仙人!若有沙門、梵志,憎惡地、毀呰地者,彼身壞命終,必生餘下賤妓樂神中,如是水、火、風、神、天、生主,憎惡梵天、毀呰梵天者,彼身壞命終,必生餘下賤妓樂神中。大仙人!若有沙門、梵志,愛樂地、稱歎地者,彼身壞命終,必生最上尊梵天中,如是水、火、風、神、天、生主,愛樂梵天、稱歎梵天者,彼身壞命終,必生最上尊梵天中。大仙人!汝不見此梵天大眷屬坐如我輩耶?」
彼魔波旬非是梵天,亦非梵天眷屬,然自稱說我是梵天。爾時,世尊便作是念:「此魔波旬非是梵天,亦非梵天眷屬,然自稱說我是梵天;若說有魔波旬者,此即是魔波旬。」
世尊知已,告曰:「魔波旬!汝非梵天,亦非梵天眷屬,然汝自稱說我是梵天;若說有魔波旬者,汝即是魔波旬。」於是,魔波旬而作是念:「世尊知我,善逝見我。」知已愁憂,即于彼處忽沒不現
現代漢語譯本:比丘們所說也是這樣,因此,比丘們!我告訴你們不要違背這位梵天所說,不要逆反這位梵天所說。為什麼呢?因為這位梵天是梵,是福佑,能化生,最尊貴,能創造,能製造,是父親,已經有和將要有一切眾生都從他而生,他所知道的都完全知道,所見到的都完全見到。 『大仙人!如果有沙門、婆羅門憎恨地、詆譭地,他們身壞命終后,必定會生到其他的妓樂神中。同樣,對於水、火、風、神、天、生主,如果憎恨梵天、詆譭梵天,他們身壞命終后,必定會生到其他的妓樂神中。大仙人!如果有沙門、婆羅門喜愛地、稱讚地,他們身壞命終后,必定會生到最尊貴的梵天中。同樣,對於水、火、風、神、天、生主,如果喜愛梵天、稱讚梵天,他們身壞命終后,必定會生到最尊貴的梵天中。大仙人!你難道沒有看到這位梵天的大眷屬像我們這樣坐著嗎?』 那個魔波旬不是梵天,也不是梵天的眷屬,卻自稱說自己是梵天。當時,世尊就想:『這個魔波旬不是梵天,也不是梵天的眷屬,卻自稱說自己是梵天;如果說有魔波旬,那他就是魔波旬。』 世尊知道后,就告訴他說:『魔波旬!你不是梵天,也不是梵天的眷屬,但你卻自稱說自己是梵天;如果說有魔波旬,那你就是魔波旬。』於是,魔波旬心想:『世尊知道我了,善逝看到我了。』知道后,他感到憂愁,就立刻在那裡消失不見了。
English version: What the monks say is also like this. Therefore, monks! I tell you not to go against what this Brahma has said, do not oppose what this Brahma has said. Why is that? Because this Brahma is Brahma, is blessed, can transform, is the most noble, can create, can make, is the father, all beings that have been and will be are born from him, what he knows he knows completely, what he sees he sees completely. 'Great sage! If there are ascetics or Brahmins who hate the earth and despise the earth, after their bodies break and they die, they will surely be born among other pleasure-seeking gods. Similarly, regarding water, fire, wind, gods, deities, and the lord of creation, if they hate Brahma and despise Brahma, after their bodies break and they die, they will surely be born among other pleasure-seeking gods. Great sage! If there are ascetics or Brahmins who love the earth and praise the earth, after their bodies break and they die, they will surely be born in the most noble Brahma realm. Similarly, regarding water, fire, wind, gods, deities, and the lord of creation, if they love Brahma and praise Brahma, after their bodies break and they die, they will surely be born in the most noble Brahma realm. Great sage! Do you not see this Brahma's great retinue sitting like us?' That Mara Papiyan is not Brahma, nor is he a member of Brahma's retinue, yet he claims to be Brahma. At that time, the World Honored One thought: 'This Mara Papiyan is not Brahma, nor is he a member of Brahma's retinue, yet he claims to be Brahma; if it is said that there is a Mara Papiyan, then he is Mara Papiyan.' Having understood this, the World Honored One said: 'Mara Papiyan! You are not Brahma, nor are you a member of Brahma's retinue, yet you claim to be Brahma; if it is said that there is a Mara Papiyan, then you are Mara Papiyan.' Then, Mara Papiyan thought: 'The World Honored One knows me, the Well-Gone One sees me.' Knowing this, he became sorrowful and immediately disappeared from that place.
時,彼梵天至再三請世尊:「善來大仙人!此處有常,此處恒有,此處長存,此處是要,此處不終法,此處出要,此出要更無出要過其上,有勝、有妙、有最者。」
世尊亦至再三告曰:「梵天!汝無常稱說常,不恒稱說恒,不存稱說存,不要稱說要,終法稱說不終法,非出要稱說出要,此出要更無出要過其上,有勝、有妙、有最者。梵天!汝有是無明。梵天!汝有是無明。」
於是,梵天白世尊曰:「大仙人!昔有沙門、梵志,壽命極長,存住極久。大仙人!汝壽至短,不如彼沙門、梵志一燕坐頃。所以者何?彼所知盡知、所見盡見,若實有出要者,更無餘出要過其上,有勝、有妙、有最者;若無有實出要者,更無餘出要過其上,有勝、有妙、有最者。大仙人!汝于出要不出要想,不出要出要想,如是汝不得出要,便成大癡。所以者何?以無境界故。大仙人!若有沙門、梵志,愛樂地、稱歎地者,彼為我自在,為隨我所欲,為隨我所使。如是水、火、風、神、天、生主,愛樂梵天、稱歎梵天者,彼為我自在,為隨我所欲,為隨我所使。大仙人!若汝愛樂地、稱歎地者,汝亦為我自在,為隨我所欲,為隨我所使
當時,那位梵天再三地請求世尊:『善哉,大仙人!這裡有常,這裡恒常存在,這裡長久存續,這裡是根本,這裡是不終結的法,這裡是解脫之道,這解脫之道再沒有比它更高的,有殊勝、有美妙、有最上的。』 世尊也再三地告訴他:『梵天!你把無常說成常,把不恒常說成恒常,把不存續說成存續,把不根本說成根本,把終結的法說成不終結的法,把非解脫之道說成解脫之道,這解脫之道再沒有比它更高的,有殊勝、有美妙、有最上的。梵天!你這是無明。梵天!你這是無明。』 於是,梵天對世尊說:『大仙人!過去有沙門、婆羅門,壽命極長,存活極久。大仙人!你的壽命極其短暫,不如那些沙門、婆羅門一次靜坐的時間。為什麼呢?因為他們所知都已盡知,所見都已盡見,如果真有解脫之道,就沒有比它更高的解脫之道,有殊勝、有美妙、有最上的;如果確實沒有解脫之道,就沒有比它更高的解脫之道,有殊勝、有美妙、有最上的。大仙人!你對於解脫之道卻想著不是解脫之道,對於不是解脫之道卻想著是解脫之道,這樣你就無法得到解脫,便成了大愚癡。為什麼呢?因為沒有境界的緣故。大仙人!如果有沙門、婆羅門,喜愛地、稱讚地,他們就受我支配,隨我所欲,為我所用。像水、火、風、神、天、生主,喜愛梵天、稱讚梵天的人,他們就受我支配,隨我所欲,為我所用。大仙人!如果你喜愛地、稱讚地,你也會受我支配,隨我所欲,為我所用。』
Then, that Brahma repeatedly requested the World-Honored One: 'Well done, great sage! Here there is permanence, here there is constant existence, here there is long duration, here is the essence, here is the law that does not end, here is the path to liberation, and there is no path to liberation higher than this, which is superior, wonderful, and supreme.' The World-Honored One also repeatedly told him: 'Brahma! You call impermanence permanence, you call non-constancy constancy, you call non-existence existence, you call non-essence essence, you call the law that ends the law that does not end, you call the non-path to liberation the path to liberation, and there is no path to liberation higher than this, which is superior, wonderful, and supreme. Brahma! You are in ignorance. Brahma! You are in ignorance.' Then, Brahma said to the World-Honored One: 'Great sage! In the past, there were ascetics and Brahmins who had extremely long lives and lived for a very long time. Great sage! Your life is extremely short, not even as long as the time those ascetics and Brahmins spend in one sitting meditation. Why is that? Because they have fully known what is to be known, and fully seen what is to be seen. If there truly is a path to liberation, there is no path to liberation higher than it, which is superior, wonderful, and supreme; if there is indeed no path to liberation, there is no path to liberation higher than it, which is superior, wonderful, and supreme. Great sage! You think of the path to liberation as not the path to liberation, and you think of what is not the path to liberation as the path to liberation, thus you cannot attain liberation and become greatly foolish. Why is that? Because there is no realm. Great sage! If there are ascetics and Brahmins who love the earth and praise the earth, they are under my control, according to my desires, and for my use. Like water, fire, wind, gods, deities, and the lord of creation, those who love Brahma and praise Brahma are under my control, according to my desires, and for my use. Great sage! If you love the earth and praise the earth, you will also be under my control, according to my desires, and for my use.'
。如是水、火、風、神、天、生主,愛樂梵天、稱歎梵天者,汝亦為我自在,為隨我所欲,為隨我所使。」
於是,世尊告曰:「梵天!如是梵天所說真諦:『若有沙門、梵志,愛樂地、稱歎地者,彼為汝自在,為隨汝所欲,為隨汝所使。如是水、火、風、神、天、生主,愛樂梵天、稱歎梵天者,彼為汝自在,為隨汝所欲,為隨汝所使。』梵天!若我愛樂地、稱歎地者,我亦為汝自在,為隨汝所欲,為隨汝所使。如是水、火、風、神、天、生主,愛樂梵天、稱歎梵天者,我亦為汝自在,為隨汝所欲,為隨汝所使。
「梵天!若此八事,我隨其事愛樂稱歎者,彼亦有如是。梵天!我知汝所從來處、所往至處、隨所住、隨所終、隨所生。若有梵天有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神。」
於是,梵天白世尊曰:「大仙人!汝云何知我所知、見我所見。云何識悉我?如日自在,明照諸方,是為千世界,于千世界中,汝得自在耶?知彼彼處無有晝夜,大仙人曾更歷彼,數經歷彼耶?」
世尊告曰:「梵天!如日自在,明照諸方,是為千世界,于千世界中,我得自在,亦知彼彼處無有晝夜。梵天!我曾更歷彼,我數經歷彼。梵天!有三種天,光天、凈光天、遍凈光天
現代漢語譯本:『如果有人愛慕和讚美地、水、火、風、神、天、生主,以及愛慕和讚美梵天的人,那麼你就可以隨意支配他們,讓他們順從你的意願,讓他們為你所用。』 於是,世尊說:『梵天!你所說的真理是這樣的:如果任何沙門或婆羅門愛慕和讚美地,他們就會受你支配,順從你的意願,為你所用。同樣,如果他們愛慕和讚美水、火、風、神、天、生主,以及愛慕和讚美梵天,他們也會受你支配,順從你的意願,為你所用。梵天!如果我愛慕和讚美地,我也會受你支配,順從你的意願,為你所用。同樣,如果我愛慕和讚美水、火、風、神、天、生主,以及愛慕和讚美梵天,我也會受你支配,順從你的意願,為你所用。』 『梵天!如果我愛慕和讚美這八種事物中的任何一種,情況也會如此。梵天!我知道你從哪裡來,要到哪裡去,住在哪裡,在哪裡終結,在哪裡出生。有些梵天擁有強大的神通,擁有強大的威德,擁有巨大的福報,擁有強大的神力。』 於是,梵天對世尊說:『大仙人!你是如何知道我所知道的,看到我所看到的?你是如何完全瞭解我的?就像太陽照耀四方,照亮整個千世界,你能在千世界中自由自在嗎?你知道那些沒有晝夜的地方嗎?大仙人,你曾經去過那裡,多次去過那裡嗎?』 世尊說:『梵天!就像太陽照耀四方,照亮整個千世界,我能在千世界中自由自在,也知道那些沒有晝夜的地方。梵天!我曾經去過那裡,多次去過那裡。梵天!有三種天,分別是光天、凈光天和遍凈光天。』
English version: 'If there are those who cherish and praise earth, water, fire, wind, gods, heavens, the Lord of Beings, and those who cherish and praise Brahma, then you have power over them, they will follow your will, and they will be at your service.' Then, the World-Honored One said, 'Brahma! The truth you speak is this: if any ascetic or Brahmin cherishes and praises earth, they will be under your control, follow your will, and be at your service. Similarly, if they cherish and praise water, fire, wind, gods, heavens, the Lord of Beings, and those who cherish and praise Brahma, they will also be under your control, follow your will, and be at your service. Brahma! If I were to cherish and praise earth, I would also be under your control, follow your will, and be at your service. Similarly, if I were to cherish and praise water, fire, wind, gods, heavens, the Lord of Beings, and those who cherish and praise Brahma, I would also be under your control, follow your will, and be at your service.' 'Brahma! If I were to cherish and praise any of these eight things, it would be the same. Brahma! I know where you come from, where you are going, where you dwell, where you end, and where you are born. There are Brahmas who possess great supernatural powers, great majesty, great blessings, and great divine strength.' Then, Brahma said to the World-Honored One, 'Great Sage! How do you know what I know, and see what I see? How do you fully understand me? Just as the sun shines in all directions, illuminating the entire thousand worlds, are you free in the thousand worlds? Do you know those places where there is no day or night? Great Sage, have you been there, have you been there many times?' The World-Honored One said, 'Brahma! Just as the sun shines in all directions, illuminating the entire thousand worlds, I am free in the thousand worlds, and I also know those places where there is no day or night. Brahma! I have been there, I have been there many times. Brahma! There are three kinds of heavens, namely the Heaven of Light, the Heaven of Pure Light, and the Heaven of All-Pervading Light.'
。梵天!若彼三種天有知有見者,我亦有彼知見。梵天!若彼三種天無知無見者,我亦自有知見。梵天!若彼三種天及眷屬有知有見者,我亦有彼知見。梵天!若彼三種天及眷屬無知無見者,我亦自有知見。梵天!若汝有知有見者,我亦有此知見。梵天!若汝無知無見者,我亦自有知見。梵天!若汝及眷屬有知有見者,我亦有此知見。梵天!若汝及眷屬無知無見者,我亦自有知見。梵天!汝不與我一切等,不與我盡等,但我于汝最勝最上。」
於是,梵天白世尊曰:「大仙人!何由得彼三種天有知有見者,汝亦有彼知見;若彼三種天無知無見者,汝亦自有知見;若彼三種天及眷屬有知有見者,汝亦有彼知見,若彼三種天及眷屬無知無見者,汝亦自有知見。若我有知有見者,汝亦有此知見;若我無知無見者,汝亦自有知見;若我及眷屬有知有見者,汝亦有此知見;若我及眷屬無知無見者,汝亦自有知見。大仙人!非為愛言耶?問已不知增益愚癡。所以者何?以識無量境界故,無量知、無量見、無量種別,我各各知別,是地知地,水、火、風、神、天、生主,是梵天知梵天。」
於是,世尊告曰:「梵天!若有沙門、梵志於地有地想,地是我,地是我所,我是地所;彼計地是我已,便不知地
現代漢語譯本:梵天啊!如果那三種天有知覺和見解,我也有那樣的知覺和見解。梵天啊!如果那三種天沒有知覺和見解,我也有我自己的知覺和見解。梵天啊!如果那三種天及其眷屬有知覺和見解,我也有那樣的知覺和見解。梵天啊!如果那三種天及其眷屬沒有知覺和見解,我也有我自己的知覺和見解。梵天啊!如果你有知覺和見解,我也有這樣的知覺和見解。梵天啊!如果你沒有知覺和見解,我也有我自己的知覺和見解。梵天啊!如果你和你的眷屬有知覺和見解,我也有這樣的知覺和見解。梵天啊!如果你和你的眷屬沒有知覺和見解,我也有我自己的知覺和見解。梵天啊!你並不在一切方面都與我相等,也不在所有方面都與我相等,但我比你更殊勝,更至高無上。 於是,梵天對世尊說:『大仙人!為什麼那三種天有知覺和見解,你也有那樣的知覺和見解;如果那三種天沒有知覺和見解,你也有你自己的知覺和見解;如果那三種天及其眷屬有知覺和見解,你也有那樣的知覺和見解;如果那三種天及其眷屬沒有知覺和見解,你也有你自己的知覺和見解。如果我有知覺和見解,你也有這樣的知覺和見解;如果我沒有知覺和見解,你也有你自己的知覺和見解;如果我和我的眷屬有知覺和見解,你也有這樣的知覺和見解;如果我和我的眷屬沒有知覺和見解,你也有你自己的知覺和見解。大仙人!這不是愛說大話嗎?這樣問了反而會增加愚癡。為什麼呢?因為意識有無量的境界,有無量的知、無量的見、無量的種類差別,我都能一一分辨,知道地是地,水、火、風、神、天、生主,知道梵天是梵天。』 於是,世尊告訴梵天說:『梵天啊!如果有沙門、婆羅門認為地有地的概念,認為地是『我』,地是『我的』,『我』是屬於地的;他們認為地是『我』之後,就不瞭解地。』
English version: Brahma! If those three heavens have knowledge and perception, I also have that knowledge and perception. Brahma! If those three heavens have no knowledge and perception, I also have my own knowledge and perception. Brahma! If those three heavens and their retinue have knowledge and perception, I also have that knowledge and perception. Brahma! If those three heavens and their retinue have no knowledge and perception, I also have my own knowledge and perception. Brahma! If you have knowledge and perception, I also have this knowledge and perception. Brahma! If you have no knowledge and perception, I also have my own knowledge and perception. Brahma! If you and your retinue have knowledge and perception, I also have this knowledge and perception. Brahma! If you and your retinue have no knowledge and perception, I also have my own knowledge and perception. Brahma! You are not equal to me in all respects, nor are you equal to me in every way, but I am more superior and supreme than you. Then, Brahma said to the World Honored One: 'Great Sage! How is it that if those three heavens have knowledge and perception, you also have that knowledge and perception; if those three heavens have no knowledge and perception, you also have your own knowledge and perception; if those three heavens and their retinue have knowledge and perception, you also have that knowledge and perception; if those three heavens and their retinue have no knowledge and perception, you also have your own knowledge and perception. If I have knowledge and perception, you also have this knowledge and perception; if I have no knowledge and perception, you also have your own knowledge and perception; if I and my retinue have knowledge and perception, you also have this knowledge and perception; if I and my retinue have no knowledge and perception, you also have your own knowledge and perception. Great Sage! Isn't this just boasting? Asking this only increases ignorance. Why is that? Because consciousness has immeasurable realms, immeasurable knowledge, immeasurable perceptions, and immeasurable kinds of distinctions, I can distinguish them all, knowing that earth is earth, water, fire, wind, gods, heavens, the lord of beings, and knowing that Brahma is Brahma.' Then, the World Honored One said to Brahma: 'Brahma! If there are ascetics or Brahmins who have the concept of earth as earth, thinking that earth is 'I', earth is 'mine', and 'I' belong to earth; after they think that earth is 'I', they do not understand earth.'
。如是於水、火、風、神、天、生主、梵天、無煩、無熱,凈有凈想,凈是我,凈是我所,我是凈所;彼計凈是我已,便不知凈。梵天!若有沙門、梵志,地則知地,地非是我,地非我所,我非地所;彼不計地是我已,彼便知地。如是水、火、風、神、天、生主、梵天、無煩、無熱,凈則知凈,凈非是我,凈非我所,我非凈所;彼不計凈是我已,彼便知凈。梵天!我于地則知地,地非是我,地非我所,我非地所;我不計地是我已,我便知地。如是水、火、風、神、天、生主、梵天、無煩、無熱,凈則知凈,凈非是我,凈非我所,我非凈所;我不計凈是我已,我便知凈。」
於是,梵天白世尊曰:「大仙人!此眾生愛有、樂有、習有,汝已拔有根本。所以者何?謂如來、無所著、等正覺故。」便說頌曰:
「于有見恐怖, 無有見不懼, 是故莫樂有, 有何不可斷。
「大仙人!我今欲自隱形。」
世尊告曰:「梵天!汝若欲自隱形者,便隨所欲。」
於是,梵天即隨所處自隱其形。世尊即知,「梵天!汝在彼,汝在此,汝在中。」
於是,梵天盡現如意,欲自隱形而不能隱,還住梵天中。於是,世尊告曰:「梵天!我今亦欲自隱其形
現代漢語譯本:如果他們認為水、火、風、神、天、生主、梵天、無煩天、無熱天,以及清凈的境界是清凈的,認為清凈是『我』,清凈是『我所擁有』,『我』是清凈的擁有者;他們這樣執著清凈為『我』之後,反而不瞭解清凈的真正含義。梵天啊!如果任何沙門或婆羅門,能夠認識到地是地,明白地不是『我』,地不是『我所擁有』,『我』也不是屬於地的;他們不執著地為『我』,就能真正瞭解地。同樣,對於水、火、風、神、天、生主、梵天、無煩天、無熱天,以及清凈的境界,他們能夠認識到清凈是清凈,明白清凈不是『我』,清凈不是『我所擁有』,『我』也不是屬於清凈的;他們不執著清凈為『我』,就能真正瞭解清凈。梵天啊!我認識到地是地,明白地不是『我』,地不是『我所擁有』,『我』也不是屬於地的;我不執著地為『我』,就能真正瞭解地。同樣,對於水、火、風、神、天、生主、梵天、無煩天、無熱天,以及清凈的境界,我認識到清凈是清凈,明白清凈不是『我』,清凈不是『我所擁有』,『我』也不是屬於清凈的;我不執著清凈為『我』,就能真正瞭解清凈。』 於是,梵天對世尊說:『大仙人!這些眾生喜愛存在,執著存在,習慣於存在,而您已經拔除了存在的根本。這是因為,如來是無所執著的、等正覺的。』然後,他說了偈頌: 『在存在中見到恐懼,在不存在中不感到恐懼,因此不要貪戀存在,有什麼存在是不可斷除的呢?』 『大仙人!我現在想隱去身形。』 世尊告訴梵天:『梵天!如果你想隱去身形,就隨你的意願吧。』 於是,梵天立刻在原地隱去了身形。世尊立刻知道,『梵天!你在那裡,你在這裡,你在中間。』 於是,梵天用盡了神通,想要隱去身形卻無法隱去,又回到了梵天界。於是,世尊告訴他:『梵天!我現在也想隱去身形。』
English version: If they consider water, fire, wind, gods, heavens, the Lord of Beings, Brahma, the Imperturbable, the Heatless, and the pure state to be pure, thinking that purity is 'I', purity is 'what I possess', and 'I' am the possessor of purity; having thus clung to purity as 'I', they do not understand purity. Brahma! If any ascetic or Brahmin knows earth as earth, understanding that earth is not 'I', earth is not 'what I possess', and 'I' do not belong to earth; not clinging to earth as 'I', they truly understand earth. Likewise, regarding water, fire, wind, gods, heavens, the Lord of Beings, Brahma, the Imperturbable, the Heatless, and the pure state, they know purity as purity, understanding that purity is not 'I', purity is not 'what I possess', and 'I' do not belong to purity; not clinging to purity as 'I', they truly understand purity. Brahma! I know earth as earth, understanding that earth is not 'I', earth is not 'what I possess', and 'I' do not belong to earth; not clinging to earth as 'I', I truly understand earth. Likewise, regarding water, fire, wind, gods, heavens, the Lord of Beings, Brahma, the Imperturbable, the Heatless, and the pure state, I know purity as purity, understanding that purity is not 'I', purity is not 'what I possess', and 'I' do not belong to purity; not clinging to purity as 'I', I truly understand purity.' Then, Brahma said to the World-Honored One: 'Great Sage! These beings love existence, cling to existence, and are accustomed to existence, but you have uprooted the very root of existence. This is because the Tathagata is unattached and fully enlightened.' Then, he spoke a verse: 'In existence, fear is seen; in non-existence, there is no fear. Therefore, do not delight in existence; what existence is there that cannot be severed?' 'Great Sage! I now wish to conceal my form.' The World-Honored One told Brahma: 'Brahma! If you wish to conceal your form, then do as you please.' Then, Brahma immediately concealed his form in that very place. The World-Honored One immediately knew, 'Brahma! You are there, you are here, you are in the middle.' Then, Brahma exhausted his supernatural powers, wanting to conceal his form but unable to do so, and returned to the Brahma realm. Then, the World-Honored One told him: 'Brahma! I also now wish to conceal my form.'
梵天白世尊曰:「大仙人!若欲自隱形者,便隨所欲。」
於是,世尊而作是念:「我今寧可現如其像如意足,放極妙光明,照一切梵天而自隱住,使諸梵天及梵天眷屬但聞我聲而不見形。」於是,世尊即現如其像如意足,放極妙光明,照一切梵天,便自隱住,使諸梵天及梵天眷屬但聞其聲而不見其形。於是,梵天及梵天眷屬各作是念:「沙門瞿曇甚奇!甚特!有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神。所以者何?謂放極妙光明,照一切梵天而自隱住,使我等及眷屬但聞彼聲而不見形。」
於是,世尊復作是念:「我已化此梵天及梵天眷屬,我今寧可攝如意足。」世尊便攝如意足,還住梵天中。
於是,魔王亦至再三在彼眾中。爾時,魔王白世尊曰:「大仙人善見、善知、善達,然莫訓誨教呵弟子,亦莫為弟子說法,莫著弟子;莫爲著弟子故,身壞命終,生餘下賤妓樂神中。行無為,于現世受安樂。所以者何?大仙人!此唐自煩勞。大仙人!昔有沙門、梵志訓誨弟子,教呵弟子,亦為弟子說法,樂著弟子;彼以著弟子故,身壞命終,生餘下賤妓樂神中。大仙人!是故我語汝,莫得訓誨教呵弟子,亦莫為弟子說法,莫著弟子;莫爲著弟子故,身壞命終,生餘下賤妓樂神中
梵天對世尊說:『大仙人!如果想隱身,就隨你的意願吧。』 於是,世尊心想:『我不如現在顯現如意神通,放出極妙的光明,照耀一切梵天,然後隱身,讓所有梵天和梵天的眷屬只聽到我的聲音而看不到我的形體。』於是,世尊就顯現如意神通,放出極妙的光明,照耀一切梵天,然後隱身,讓所有梵天和梵天的眷屬只聽到他的聲音而看不到他的形體。於是,梵天和梵天的眷屬各自心想:『沙門瞿曇真是太神奇了!太特別了!有大如意神通,有大威德,有大福佑,有大威神。為什麼呢?因為他能放出極妙的光明,照耀一切梵天,然後隱身,讓我們和眷屬只聽到他的聲音而看不到他的形體。』 於是,世尊又想:『我已經教化了這些梵天和梵天的眷屬,我不如現在收回如意神通。』世尊就收回如意神通,重新出現在梵天之中。 這時,魔王也再次來到他們之中。當時,魔王對世尊說:『大仙人,你善於觀察、善於知曉、善於通達,但是不要訓誡教導弟子,也不要為弟子說法,不要執著于弟子;不要因為執著于弟子,導致身壞命終,轉生到其他的妓樂神中。修行無為,在現世享受安樂。為什麼呢?大仙人!這只是徒勞的煩惱。大仙人!以前有沙門、婆羅門訓誡教導弟子,也為弟子說法,樂於執著弟子;他們因為執著弟子,導致身壞命終,轉生到其他的妓樂神中。大仙人!所以我勸你,不要訓誡教導弟子,也不要為弟子說法,不要執著于弟子;不要因為執著于弟子,導致身壞命終,轉生到其他的**妓樂神中。』
Then Brahma said to the World Honored One, 'Great Sage! If you wish to make yourself invisible, then do as you please.' Thereupon, the World Honored One thought, 'I might as well now manifest my miraculous power, emit extremely wonderful light, illuminate all the Brahmas, and then conceal myself, so that all the Brahmas and their retinues will only hear my voice but not see my form.' Thereupon, the World Honored One manifested his miraculous power, emitted extremely wonderful light, illuminated all the Brahmas, and then concealed himself, so that all the Brahmas and their retinues only heard his voice but did not see his form. Then, the Brahmas and their retinues each thought, 'The Shramana Gautama is truly amazing! Truly extraordinary! He has great miraculous power, great virtue, great blessings, and great divine power. Why is that? Because he can emit extremely wonderful light, illuminate all the Brahmas, and then conceal himself, so that we and our retinues only hear his voice but do not see his form.' Then, the World Honored One thought again, 'I have already transformed these Brahmas and their retinues, I might as well now withdraw my miraculous power.' The World Honored One then withdrew his miraculous power and reappeared among the Brahmas. At this time, the Demon King also came again into their midst. Then, the Demon King said to the World Honored One, 'Great Sage, you are good at observing, good at knowing, and good at understanding, but do not instruct or teach disciples, nor preach the Dharma for disciples, nor be attached to disciples; do not, because of attachment to disciples, cause your body to perish and your life to end, and be reborn among other pleasure-seeking gods. Practice non-action and enjoy peace in this present life. Why is that? Great Sage! This is just a futile trouble. Great Sage! In the past, there were Shramanas and Brahmins who instructed and taught disciples, also preached the Dharma for disciples, and were fond of being attached to disciples; because of their attachment to disciples, their bodies perished and their lives ended, and they were reborn among other pleasure-seeking gods. Great Sage! Therefore, I advise you, do not instruct or teach disciples, nor preach the Dharma for disciples, nor be attached to disciples; do not, because of attachment to disciples, cause your body to perish and your life to end, and be reborn among other **pleasure-seeking gods.'
。行無為,于現世受安樂。所以者何?大仙人!汝唐自煩勞。」
於是,世尊告曰:「魔波旬!汝不為我求義故說,非為饒益故,非為樂故,非為安隱故:『莫得訓誨教呵弟子,莫為弟子說法,莫著弟子,莫爲著弟子故,身壞命終,生餘下賤妓樂神中。行無為,于現世受安樂。所以者何?大仙人!汝唐自煩勞。』魔波旬!汝作是念:『此沙門瞿曇為弟子說法,彼弟子聞法已,出我境界。』魔波旬!是故汝今語我:『莫得訓誨教呵弟子,亦莫為弟子說法,莫著弟子;莫爲著弟子故,身壞命終,生餘下賤妓樂神中。行無為,于現世受安樂。所以者何?大仙人!汝唐自煩勞。』
「魔波旬!若有沙門、梵志訓誨弟子,教呵弟子,為弟子說法,樂著弟子;爲著弟子故,身壞命終,生餘下賤妓樂神中。彼沙門、梵志,彼非沙門稱說沙門,非梵志稱說梵志,非阿羅訶稱說阿羅訶,非等正覺稱說等正覺。魔波旬!我實沙門稱說沙門,實梵志稱說梵志,實阿羅訶稱說阿羅訶,實等正覺稱說等正覺。魔波旬!若我為弟子說法,若不說者,汝且自去,我今自知應為弟子說法、不應為弟子說法。」
是為梵天請,魔波旬違逆世尊隨順說,是故此經名梵天請佛。
佛說如是。梵天及梵天眷屬,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行
現代漢語譯本:『修行無為,在現世享受安樂。這是為什麼呢?大仙人!你徒勞自尋煩惱。』 於是,世尊告訴他說:『魔波旬!你不是爲了我求義才這樣說,不是爲了利益,不是爲了快樂,不是爲了安穩,才說:『不要訓誡教導弟子,不要為弟子說法,不要執著弟子,不要因為執著弟子,身壞命終,而生到其他妓樂神中。修行無為,在現世享受安樂。這是為什麼呢?大仙人!你徒勞自尋煩惱。』魔波旬!你這樣想:『這個沙門瞿曇為弟子說法,那些弟子聽了法后,就會離開我的境界。』魔波旬!所以你現在對我說:『不要訓誡教導弟子,也不要為弟子說法,不要執著弟子;不要因為執著弟子,身壞命終,而生到其他妓樂神中。修行無為,在現世享受安樂。這是為什麼呢?大仙人!你徒勞自尋煩惱。』 『魔波旬!如果有沙門、婆羅門訓誡弟子,教導弟子,為弟子說法,樂於執著弟子;因為執著弟子,身壞命終,而生到其他**妓樂神中。那些沙門、婆羅門,他們不是真正的沙門,卻自稱沙門,不是真正的婆羅門,卻自稱婆羅門,不是真正的阿羅漢,卻自稱阿羅漢,不是真正的等正覺,卻自稱等正覺。魔波旬!我才是真正的沙門,自稱沙門,才是真正的婆羅門,自稱婆羅門,才是真正的阿羅漢,自稱阿羅漢,才是真正的等正覺,自稱等正覺。魔波旬!我如果為弟子說法,或者不說,你且自己離去,我現在自己知道應該為弟子說法,還是不應該為弟子說法。』 這是梵天請求,魔波旬違逆世尊,隨順(梵天)所說,所以這部經名為《梵天請佛》。 佛陀這樣說。梵天和梵天的眷屬,聽了佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。
English version: 『Practice inaction, and enjoy peace in the present life. Why is that? Great ascetic! You are just troubling yourself in vain.』 Then, the World Honored One said: 『Mara Papiman! You do not say this for my sake, nor for benefit, nor for happiness, nor for peace, when you say: 『Do not instruct and teach disciples, do not preach the Dharma to disciples, do not be attached to disciples, do not, because of attachment to disciples, after the body breaks and life ends, be reborn in other pleasure-seeking heavens. Practice inaction, and enjoy peace in the present life. Why is that? Great ascetic! You are just troubling yourself in vain.』 Mara Papiman! You think: 『This ascetic Gautama preaches the Dharma to disciples, and those disciples, having heard the Dharma, will leave my realm.』 Mara Papiman! That is why you now say to me: 『Do not instruct and teach disciples, nor preach the Dharma to disciples, do not be attached to disciples; do not, because of attachment to disciples, after the body breaks and life ends, be reborn in other pleasure-seeking heavens. Practice inaction, and enjoy peace in the present life. Why is that? Great ascetic! You are just troubling yourself in vain.』 『Mara Papiman! If there are ascetics or Brahmins who instruct disciples, teach disciples, preach the Dharma to disciples, and are attached to disciples; because of attachment to disciples, after the body breaks and life ends, they are reborn in other **pleasure-seeking heavens. Those ascetics and Brahmins, they are not true ascetics, yet they call themselves ascetics, not true Brahmins, yet they call themselves Brahmins, not true Arhats, yet they call themselves Arhats, not truly fully enlightened ones, yet they call themselves fully enlightened ones. Mara Papiman! I am a true ascetic, calling myself an ascetic, a true Brahmin, calling myself a Brahmin, a true Arhat, calling myself an Arhat, a truly fully enlightened one, calling myself a fully enlightened one. Mara Papiman! Whether I preach the Dharma to disciples or not, you may leave, I now know myself whether I should preach the Dharma to disciples or not.』 This is Brahma's request, Mara Papiman opposes the World Honored One, and follows what (Brahma) said, therefore this sutra is named 『Brahma's Request to the Buddha.』 The Buddha spoke thus. Brahma and Brahma's retinue, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it.
梵天請佛經第七竟(三千九十字)
(七九)中阿含長壽王品有勝天經第八(第二小土城誦)
於是,仙余財主告一使人:「汝往詣佛,為我稽首,禮世尊足,問訊世尊聖體康強,安快無病,起居輕便,氣力如常耶?作如是語:『仙余財主稽首佛足,問訊世尊聖體康強,安快無病,起居輕便,氣力如常耶?』汝既為我問訊佛已,往詣尊者阿那律陀所,為我稽首禮彼足已,問訊尊者聖體康強,安快無病,起居輕便,氣力如常不?作如是語:『仙余財主稽首尊者阿那律陀足,問訊尊者聖體康強,安快無病,起居輕便,氣力如常不?仙余財主請尊者阿那律陀四人俱,供明日食。』若受請者,復作是語:『尊者阿那律陀!仙余財主多事多為,為王眾事斷理臣佐,唯愿尊者阿那律陀為慈愍故,與四人俱,明日早來至仙余財主家。』」
於是,使人受仙余財主教已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,卻住一面,白曰:「世尊!仙余財主稽首佛足,問訊世尊聖體康強,安快無病,起居輕便,氣力如常耶?」
爾時,世尊告使人曰:「令仙余財主安隱快樂,令天及人、阿修羅、揵塔和、羅剎及餘種種身安隱快樂
《梵天請佛經》第七卷完(三千零九十字)。 (七九)《中阿含經·長壽王品》之《有勝天經》第八(第二小土城誦)。 這時,仙余財主告訴一個使者:『你前往佛陀那裡,替我頂禮,禮拜世尊的腳,問候世尊身體是否安康強健,安樂無病,起居輕便,氣力如常?這樣說:『仙余財主頂禮佛陀的腳,問候世尊身體是否安康強健,安樂無病,起居輕便,氣力如常?』你替我問候佛陀之後,再去尊者阿那律陀那裡,替我頂禮,禮拜他的腳,問候尊者身體是否安康強健,安樂無病,起居輕便,氣力如常?這樣說:『仙余財主頂禮尊者阿那律陀的腳,問候尊者身體是否安康強健,安樂無病,起居輕便,氣力如常?仙余財主邀請尊者阿那律陀和四位同伴,明天一起用齋飯。』如果他接受邀請,再說:『尊者阿那律陀!仙余財主事務繁忙,要為國王處理政事,斷理臣下的案件,希望尊者阿那律陀慈悲,明天早些時候和四位同伴一起到仙余財主家。』 於是,使者接受仙余財主的吩咐,前往佛陀那裡,頂禮佛陀的腳,退到一邊站著,說道:『世尊!仙余財主頂禮佛陀的腳,問候世尊身體是否安康強健,安樂無病,起居輕便,氣力如常?』 當時,世尊告訴使者說:『讓仙余財主安穩快樂,讓天人、阿修羅、乾闥婆、羅剎以及其他各種眾生都安穩快樂。』
The seventh chapter of the 'Brahma's Request to the Buddha Sutra' is complete (3090 characters). (79) The eighth 'Superior Deva Sutra' from the 'Longevity King Chapter' of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' (recited in the second small earthen city). Then, the wealthy householder Senuya told a messenger: 'Go to the Buddha, bow your head to the ground at the World Honored One's feet, and inquire about the World Honored One's health, whether he is strong and well, comfortable and without illness, whether his movements are light and easy, and his strength is as usual? Say these words: 'The wealthy householder Senuya bows his head at the Buddha's feet, and inquires about the World Honored One's health, whether he is strong and well, comfortable and without illness, whether his movements are light and easy, and his strength is as usual?' After you have inquired about the Buddha for me, go to Venerable Anuruddha, bow your head to the ground at his feet, and inquire about the Venerable's health, whether he is strong and well, comfortable and without illness, whether his movements are light and easy, and his strength is as usual? Say these words: 'The wealthy householder Senuya bows his head at Venerable Anuruddha's feet, and inquires about the Venerable's health, whether he is strong and well, comfortable and without illness, whether his movements are light and easy, and his strength is as usual? The wealthy householder Senuya invites Venerable Anuruddha and four companions to have a meal together tomorrow.' If he accepts the invitation, say further: 'Venerable Anuruddha! The wealthy householder Senuya is very busy, having to handle affairs for the king, and adjudicate cases for the ministers. May Venerable Anuruddha, out of compassion, come to the wealthy householder Senuya's house early tomorrow with four companions.' Then, the messenger, having received Senuya's instructions, went to the Buddha, bowed his head to the ground at the Buddha's feet, and stood to one side, saying: 'World Honored One! The wealthy householder Senuya bows his head at the Buddha's feet, and inquires about the World Honored One's health, whether he is strong and well, comfortable and without illness, whether his movements are light and easy, and his strength is as usual?' At that time, the World Honored One told the messenger: 'May the wealthy householder Senuya be peaceful and happy, and may devas, humans, asuras, gandharvas, rakshasas, and all other beings be peaceful and happy.'
於是,使人聞佛所說,善受善持,稽首佛足,繞三匝而去,往詣尊者阿那律陀所,稽首禮足,卻坐一面,白曰:「尊者阿那律陀!仙余財主稽首尊者阿那律陀足,問訊尊者聖體康強,安快無病,起居輕便,氣力如常不?仙余財主請尊者阿那律陀四人俱,供明日食。」
是時,尊者真迦旃延去尊者阿那律陀不遠而燕坐也。於是,尊者阿那律陀告曰:「賢者迦旃延!我向所道,明日我等為乞食故,入舍衛國,正謂此也。今仙余財主遣人請我等四人,供明日食。」
尊者真迦旃延即時白曰:「愿尊者阿那律陀為彼人故,默然受請。我等明日出此闇林,為乞食故,入舍衛國。」尊者阿那律陀為彼人故,默然而受。
於是,使人知尊者阿那律陀默然受已,尋復白曰:「仙余財主白尊者阿那律陀!仙余財主多事多為,為王眾事斷理臣佐,愿尊者阿那律陀為慈愍故,與四人俱,明日早來,至仙余財主家。」
尊者阿那律陀告使人曰:「汝便還去,我自知時。」於是,使人即從坐起,稽首作禮,繞三匝而去。
於是,尊者阿那律陀過夜平旦,著衣持缽,四人共俱,往詣仙余財主家。爾時,仙余財主婇女圍繞,住中門下,待尊者阿那律陀
於是,(仙余財主)讓人去聽佛陀所說,(那些人)很好地接受並記住了佛陀的教誨,然後向佛陀的腳稽首,繞佛三圈后離去,前往尊者阿那律陀所在的地方,向他稽首禮拜,然後退坐在一旁,說道:『尊者阿那律陀!仙余財主向您稽首,問候您身體是否安康,是否快樂無病,起居是否輕便,氣力是否如常?仙余財主邀請您和另外三位尊者,明天一起接受供養。』 當時,尊者真迦旃延在離尊者阿那律陀不遠的地方靜坐。於是,尊者阿那律陀告訴他說:『賢者迦旃延!我剛才所說的,明天我們爲了乞食,要進入舍衛國,正是為此。現在仙余財主派人邀請我們四人,接受明天的供養。』 尊者真迦旃延立刻說道:『希望尊者阿那律陀爲了那個人,默默地接受邀請。我們明天離開這片幽暗的樹林,爲了乞食,進入舍衛國。』尊者阿那律陀爲了那個人,默默地接受了邀請。 於是,使者知道尊者阿那律陀已經默許接受邀請,隨即又說道:『仙余財主告訴尊者阿那律陀!仙余財主事務繁忙,要為國王處理政事,擔任大臣的輔佐,希望尊者阿那律陀慈悲,和另外三位尊者一起,明天早點到仙余財主家。』 尊者阿那律陀告訴使者說:『你回去吧,我自會掌握時間。』於是,使者立刻從座位上起身,稽首作禮,繞三圈后離去。 於是,尊者阿那律陀過了一夜,到了清晨,穿好衣服,拿著缽,和另外三位尊者一起,前往仙余財主家。當時,仙余財主被眾多侍女圍繞,站在中門下,等待尊者阿那律陀。
Then, (the wealthy householder Xian Yu) sent people to listen to what the Buddha said. They received and remembered the Buddha's teachings well. They bowed their heads to the Buddha's feet, circled him three times, and left. They went to where Venerable Aniruddha was, bowed their heads in respect, and sat to one side, saying: 'Venerable Aniruddha! The wealthy householder Xian Yu bows his head to you, asking if your body is healthy, if you are happy and without illness, if your movements are light, and if your strength is as usual? The wealthy householder Xian Yu invites you and three other venerable ones to accept offerings tomorrow.' At that time, Venerable Zhen Jiāzhān Yán was sitting in meditation not far from Venerable Aniruddha. Then, Venerable Aniruddha said to him: 'Virtuous Jiāzhān Yán! What I said earlier, that tomorrow we would enter Shavathi to beg for alms, was for this very reason. Now the wealthy householder Xian Yu has sent someone to invite the four of us to accept offerings tomorrow.' Venerable Zhen Jiāzhān Yán immediately said: 'May Venerable Aniruddha, for that person's sake, silently accept the invitation. Tomorrow we will leave this dark forest and enter Shavathi to beg for alms.' Venerable Aniruddha, for that person's sake, silently accepted the invitation. Then, the messenger, knowing that Venerable Aniruddha had silently agreed to accept the invitation, immediately said again: 'The wealthy householder Xian Yu tells Venerable Aniruddha! The wealthy householder Xian Yu is busy with many affairs, having to handle state matters for the king and assist the ministers. He hopes that Venerable Aniruddha, out of compassion, will come to the wealthy householder Xian Yu's home early tomorrow with the other three venerable ones.' Venerable Aniruddha told the messenger: 'You may go back, I will know the time myself.' Then, the messenger immediately rose from his seat, bowed his head in respect, circled three times, and left. Then, Venerable Aniruddha spent the night, and in the early morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and went with the other three venerable ones to the wealthy householder Xian Yu's home. At that time, the wealthy householder Xian Yu was surrounded by many maids, standing under the middle gate, waiting for Venerable Aniruddha.
。仙余財主遙見尊者阿那律陀來,見已,叉手向尊者阿那律陀,贊曰:「善來尊者阿那律陀!尊者阿那律陀久不來此。」於是,仙余財主敬心扶抱尊者阿那律陀,將入家中,為敷好床,請使令坐。
尊者阿那律陀即坐其床,仙余財主稽首尊者阿那律陀足,卻坐一面,坐已,白曰:「尊者阿那律陀!欲有所問,唯愿見聽。」
尊者阿那律陀告曰:「財主!隨汝所問,聞已當思。」
仙余財主便問尊者阿那律陀:「或有沙門、梵志來至我所,語我:『財主!汝當修大心解脫。』尊者阿那律陀!復有沙門、梵志來至我所,語我:『財主!汝當修無量心解脫。』尊者阿那律陀!大心解脫、無量心解脫,此二解脫,為文異義異耶?為一義文異耶?」
尊者阿那律陀告曰:「財主!汝前問此事,汝先自答,我當后答。」
仙余財主白曰:「尊者阿那律陀!大心解脫、無量心解脫,此二解脫一義文異,仙余財主不能答此事。」
尊者阿那律陀告曰:「財主!當聽我為汝說大心解脫、無量心解脫。大心解脫者,若有沙門、梵志在無事處,或至樹下空安靜處,依一樹意解大心解脫遍滿成就游,彼齊限是心解脫不過是。若不依一樹者,當依二三樹,意解大心解脫遍滿成就游,彼齊限是心解脫不過是
現代漢語譯本:仙余財主遠遠地看見尊者阿那律陀來了,見到后,他合起雙手向尊者阿那律陀行禮,讚歎道:『尊者阿那律陀,您來得真好!您很久沒來這裡了。』於是,仙余財主恭敬地扶著尊者阿那律陀,請他進入家中,鋪好床鋪,請他坐下。 尊者阿那律陀隨即坐到床上,仙余財主向尊者阿那律陀的腳行禮,然後退坐到一旁,坐定后說道:『尊者阿那律陀!我有些問題想請教,希望您能聽我一問。』 尊者阿那律陀回答說:『財主!你儘管問,聽完后我會思考。』 仙余財主便問尊者阿那律陀:『有時有沙門或婆羅門來到我這裡,對我說:『財主!你應該修習大心解脫。』有時又有沙門或婆羅門來到我這裡,對我說:『財主!你應該修習無量心解脫。』尊者阿那律陀!這大心解脫和無量心解脫,這兩種解脫,是意義不同而說法不同呢?還是意義相同而說法不同呢?』 尊者阿那律陀回答說:『財主!你先問這個問題,你先自己回答,我再來回答。』 仙余財主說道:『尊者阿那律陀!大心解脫和無量心解脫,這兩種解脫是意義相同而說法不同,仙余財主我無法回答這個問題。』 尊者阿那律陀說道:『財主!你聽我說,我來為你解釋大心解脫和無量心解脫。所謂大心解脫,是指如果有沙門或婆羅門在空閑的地方,或者在樹下安靜的地方,依靠一棵樹來觀想大心解脫,使其遍滿成就,他的心解脫的範圍不會超過這棵樹。如果不是依靠一棵樹,而是依靠兩三棵樹,觀想大心解脫,使其遍滿成就,他的心解脫的範圍也不會超過這些樹。
English version: The wealthy man Xianyu saw the Venerable Aniruddha coming from afar. Upon seeing him, he clasped his hands and greeted the Venerable Aniruddha, praising him, 'Welcome, Venerable Aniruddha! It has been a long time since you have come here.' Then, the wealthy man Xianyu respectfully supported the Venerable Aniruddha, led him into his home, prepared a good bed, and invited him to sit. The Venerable Aniruddha immediately sat on the bed. The wealthy man Xianyu bowed at the feet of the Venerable Aniruddha, then sat to one side. Once seated, he said, 'Venerable Aniruddha! I have some questions I would like to ask. I hope you will listen to them.' The Venerable Aniruddha replied, 'Wealthy man! Ask whatever you wish. After hearing it, I will contemplate it.' The wealthy man Xianyu then asked the Venerable Aniruddha, 'Sometimes, a Shramana or Brahmin comes to me and says, 『Wealthy man! You should cultivate the great mind liberation.』 Sometimes, another Shramana or Brahmin comes to me and says, 『Wealthy man! You should cultivate the immeasurable mind liberation.』 Venerable Aniruddha! These two liberations, the great mind liberation and the immeasurable mind liberation, are they different in meaning and expression, or are they the same in meaning but different in expression?' The Venerable Aniruddha replied, 'Wealthy man! You asked this question first. You should answer it yourself first, and then I will answer.' The wealthy man Xianyu said, 'Venerable Aniruddha! The great mind liberation and the immeasurable mind liberation, these two liberations are the same in meaning but different in expression. I, the wealthy man Xianyu, cannot answer this question.' The Venerable Aniruddha said, 'Wealthy man! Listen to me, and I will explain the great mind liberation and the immeasurable mind liberation to you. The great mind liberation refers to a Shramana or Brahmin who, in a secluded place or under a tree in a quiet place, relies on one tree to contemplate the great mind liberation, making it pervasive and complete. The scope of his mind liberation does not exceed this tree. If he does not rely on one tree, but on two or three trees, contemplating the great mind liberation, making it pervasive and complete, the scope of his mind liberation will not exceed these trees.'
。若不依二三樹者,當依一林,若不依一林者,當依二三林,若不依二三林者,當依一村,若不依一村者,當依二三村,若不依二三村者,當依一國,若不依一國者,當依二三國,若不依二三國者,當依此大地乃至大海。意解大心解脫遍滿成就游,彼齊限是心解脫不過是,是謂大心解脫。
「財主!云何無量心解脫?若有沙門、梵志在無事處,或至樹下空安靜處,心與慈俱,遍滿一方成就游,如是二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與慈俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修遍滿一切世間成就游;如是悲、喜心與舍俱,無結無怨,無恚無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修遍滿一切世間成就游,是謂無量心解脫。財主!大心解脫,無量心解脫,此二解脫為義異文異,為一義文異耶?」
仙余財主白尊者阿那律陀曰:「如我從尊者聞,則解其義,此二解脫義既異文亦異。」
尊者阿那律陀告曰:「財主!有三種天,光天、凈光天、遍凈光天。于中光天者,彼生在一處,不作是念:『此我所有,彼我所有。』但光天隨其所往,即樂彼中。財主!猶如蠅在肉段,不作是念:『此我所有,彼我所有。』但蠅隨肉段去,即樂彼中。如是彼光天不作是念:『此我所有,彼我所有。』但光天隨其所往,即樂彼中
現代漢語譯本:如果不能依靠兩三棵樹,就應當依靠一片樹林;如果不能依靠一片樹林,就應當依靠兩三片樹林;如果不能依靠兩三片樹林,就應當依靠一個村莊;如果不能依靠一個村莊,就應當依靠兩三個村莊;如果不能依靠兩三個村莊,就應當依靠一個國家;如果不能依靠一個國家,就應當依靠兩三個國家;如果不能依靠兩三個國家,就應當依靠這整個大地乃至大海。意思是說,大心解脫的遍滿成就游,它的界限是心解脫不能超越的,這就是所謂的大心解脫。 『財主!』什麼是無量心解脫呢?如果有沙門、婆羅門在無事的地方,或者到樹下空曠安靜之處,心與慈愛同在,遍滿一方成就游,像這樣二三四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心與慈愛同在,沒有束縛沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,無量善修遍滿一切世間成就游;像這樣悲心、喜心與舍心同在,沒有束縛沒有怨恨,沒有憤怒沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,無量善修遍滿一切世間成就游,這就是所謂的無量心解脫。『財主!』大心解脫和無量心解脫,這兩種解脫是意義不同文字也不同,還是一種意義文字不同呢?」 仙余財主對尊者阿那律陀說:『依我從尊者聽聞的理解,這兩種解脫的意義和文字都不同。』 尊者阿那律陀告訴他說:『財主!有三種天,光天、凈光天、遍凈光天。其中光天,他們出生在一處,不會想:『這是我的,那是我的。』而是光天隨著他們所去的地方,就樂於在那裡。財主!就像蒼蠅在肉塊上,不會想:『這是我的,那是我的。』而是蒼蠅隨著肉塊去,就樂於在那裡。同樣,那些光天不會想:『這是我的,那是我的。』而是光天隨著他們所去的地方,就樂於在那裡。
English version: If one cannot rely on two or three trees, one should rely on a forest; if one cannot rely on a forest, one should rely on two or three forests; if one cannot rely on two or three forests, one should rely on a village; if one cannot rely on a village, one should rely on two or three villages; if one cannot rely on two or three villages, one should rely on a country; if one cannot rely on a country, one should rely on two or three countries; if one cannot rely on two or three countries, one should rely on this entire earth, even the great ocean. The meaning is that the pervasiveness of the great heart's liberation is such that the heart's liberation cannot surpass it; this is what is called the great heart's liberation. 'Householder! What is immeasurable heart liberation? If there is a recluse or Brahmin in a secluded place, or under a tree in a quiet place, with a heart filled with loving-kindness, pervading one direction, and thus two, three, four directions, the intermediate directions, above and below, universally pervading all, with a heart filled with loving-kindness, without fetters, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world, thus with compassion, joy, and equanimity, without fetters, without resentment, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world, this is called immeasurable heart liberation. Householder! Are the great heart liberation and the immeasurable heart liberation different in meaning and wording, or are they the same in meaning but different in wording?' The householder Sāliyā replied to the venerable Anuruddha, 'As I understand from what the venerable one has said, these two liberations are different in both meaning and wording.' The venerable Anuruddha said, 'Householder! There are three kinds of heavens: the Light Heaven, the Pure Light Heaven, and the All-Pervading Light Heaven. Among them, those in the Light Heaven, when they are born in a place, do not think, 『This is mine, that is mine.』 But the Light Heaven, wherever they go, they are happy there. Householder! Just like a fly on a piece of meat, it does not think, 『This is mine, that is mine.』 But the fly, wherever the piece of meat goes, it is happy there. Likewise, those in the Light Heaven do not think, 『This is mine, that is mine.』 But the Light Heaven, wherever they go, they are happy there.'
。有時光天集在一處,雖身有異而光不異。財主!猶如有人然無量燈,著一室中,彼燈雖異而光不異。如是彼光天集在一處,雖身有異而光不異。有時光天各自散去,彼各散去時,其身既異,光明亦異。財主!猶如有人從一室中出衆多燈,分著諸室,彼燈即異,光明亦異。如是彼光天各自散去,彼各散去時,其身既異,光明亦異。」
於是,尊者真迦旃延白曰:「尊者阿那律陀!彼光天生在一處,可知有勝如、妙不妙耶?」
尊者阿那律陀答曰:「賢者迦旃延!可說彼光天生在一處,知有勝如、妙與不妙。」
尊者真迦旃延復問曰:「尊者阿那律陀!彼光天生在一處,何因何緣知有勝如、妙與不妙耶?」
尊者阿那律陀答曰:「賢者迦旃延。若有沙門、梵志在無事處,或至樹下空安靜處,依一樹,意解作光明想成就游,心作光明想極盛,彼齊限是心解脫不過是。若不依一樹者,或依二三樹,意解作光明想成就游,心作光明想極盛,彼齊限是心解脫不過是。賢者迦旃延!此二心解脫,何解脫為上、為勝、為妙、為最耶?」
尊者真迦旃延答曰:「尊者阿那律陀!若有沙門、梵志不依一樹者,或依二三樹,意解作光明想成就游,心作光明想極盛,彼齊限是心解脫不過是
現代漢語譯本:『有時,光天神聚集在一起,雖然身體各異,但光芒卻相同。財主啊!就像有人點燃無數盞燈,放在一個房間里,那些燈雖然各不相同,但光芒卻相同。同樣,當光天神聚集在一起時,雖然身體各異,但光芒卻相同。有時,光天神各自散去,當他們各自散去時,他們的身體既已不同,光芒也各不相同。財主啊!就像有人從一個房間里拿出許多燈,分別放在不同的房間里,那些燈就各不相同,光芒也各不相同。同樣,當光天神各自散去時,當他們各自散去時,他們的身體既已不同,光芒也各不相同。』 於是,尊者真迦旃延問道:『尊者阿那律陀!當光天神生在一起時,可以知道他們之間有優劣、妙與不妙之分嗎?』 尊者阿那律陀回答說:『賢者迦旃延!可以說當光天神生在一起時,可以知道他們之間有優劣、妙與不妙之分。』 尊者真迦旃延又問:『尊者阿那律陀!當光天神生在一起時,是因何緣故知道他們之間有優劣、妙與不妙之分呢?』 尊者阿那律陀回答說:『賢者迦旃延,如果有沙門或婆羅門在無事之處,或者到樹下空曠安靜的地方,依靠一棵樹,心中想著光明,並以此成就修行,心中光明之想達到極致,那麼他的心解脫的程度就僅限於此。如果不是依靠一棵樹,而是依靠兩三棵樹,心中想著光明,並以此成就修行,心中光明之想達到極致,那麼他的心解脫的程度也僅限於此。賢者迦旃延!這兩種心解脫,哪一種解脫是更上、更勝、更妙、最殊勝的呢?』 尊者真迦旃延回答說:『尊者阿那律陀!如果沙門或婆羅門不是依靠一棵樹,而是依靠兩三棵樹,心中想著光明,並以此成就修行,心中光明之想達到極致,那麼他的心解脫的程度就僅限於此。』
English version: 'Sometimes, the gods of light gather in one place, and although their bodies are different, their light is the same. O householder! It is like someone lighting countless lamps in a room; although the lamps are different, their light is the same. Likewise, when the gods of light gather in one place, although their bodies are different, their light is the same. Sometimes, the gods of light disperse, and when they disperse, their bodies are different, and their light is also different. O householder! It is like someone taking many lamps from one room and placing them in different rooms; the lamps are different, and their light is also different. Likewise, when the gods of light disperse, when they disperse, their bodies are different, and their light is also different.' Then, Venerable Kaccāna asked: 'Venerable Anuruddha! When the gods of light are born in one place, can it be known whether there are superior, subtle, or non-subtle differences among them?' Venerable Anuruddha replied: 'Wise Kaccāna! It can be said that when the gods of light are born in one place, it can be known whether there are superior, subtle, or non-subtle differences among them.' Venerable Kaccāna further asked: 'Venerable Anuruddha! When the gods of light are born in one place, by what cause and condition is it known that there are superior, subtle, or non-subtle differences among them?' Venerable Anuruddha replied: 'Wise Kaccāna, if a recluse or Brahmin is in a secluded place, or goes to a quiet place under a tree, relying on one tree, and cultivates the thought of light, and the thought of light in their mind reaches its peak, then the extent of their mind's liberation is limited to that. If they do not rely on one tree, but rely on two or three trees, and cultivate the thought of light, and the thought of light in their mind reaches its peak, then the extent of their mind's liberation is also limited to that. Wise Kaccāna! Of these two kinds of mind liberation, which liberation is superior, more excellent, more subtle, and most supreme?' Venerable Kaccāna replied: 'Venerable Anuruddha! If a recluse or Brahmin does not rely on one tree, but relies on two or three trees, and cultivates the thought of light, and the thought of light in their mind reaches its peak, then the extent of their mind's liberation is limited to that.'
。尊者阿那律陀!二解脫中,此解脫為上、為勝、為妙、為最。」
尊者阿那律陀復問曰:「賢者迦旃延!若不依二三樹者,或依一林,若不依一林者,或依二三林,若不依二三林者,或依一村,若不依一村者,或依二三村,若不依二三村者,或依一國,若不依一國者,或依二三國,若不依二三國者,或依此大地乃至大海。意解作光明想成就游,心作光明想極盛,彼齊限是心解脫不過是。賢者迦旃延!此二解脫,何解脫為上、為勝、為妙、為最?」
尊者真迦旃延答曰:「尊者阿那律陀!若有沙門、梵志不依二三樹者,或依一林,若不依一林者,或依二三林,若不依二三林者,或依一村,若不依一村者,或依二三村,若不依二三村者,或依一國,若不依一國者,或依二三國,若不依二三國者,或依此大地乃至大海。意解作光明想成就游,心作光明想極盛,彼齊限是心解脫不過是。尊者阿那律陀!二解脫中此解脫為上、為勝、為妙、為最。」
尊者阿那律陀告曰:「迦旃延!因是緣是,彼光天生在一處,知有勝如、妙與不妙。所以者何?因人心勝如故,修便有精粗,因修有精粗故,得人則有勝如。賢者迦旃延!世尊亦如是說,人有勝如
現代漢語譯本:『尊敬的阿那律陀!在兩種解脫中,哪一種解脫是至上、殊勝、微妙、最卓越的呢?』 阿那律陀尊者又問:『賢者迦旃延!如果修行人不依賴兩三棵樹,或者依賴一片樹林;如果不依賴一片樹林,或者依賴兩三片樹林;如果不依賴兩三片樹林,或者依賴一個村莊;如果不依賴一個村莊,或者依賴兩三個村莊;如果不依賴兩三個村莊,或者依賴一個國家;如果不依賴一個國家,或者依賴兩三個國家;如果不依賴兩三個國家,或者依賴這片大地乃至大海。他的意念專注于光明,成就光明想的遊歷,心中光明想達到極致,他的心解脫的界限也僅限於此。賢者迦旃延!這兩種解脫,哪一種解脫是至上、殊勝、微妙、最卓越的呢?』 尊者迦旃延回答說:『尊敬的阿那律陀!如果沙門或婆羅門不依賴兩三棵樹,或者依賴一片樹林;如果不依賴一片樹林,或者依賴兩三片樹林;如果不依賴兩三片樹林,或者依賴一個村莊;如果不依賴一個村莊,或者依賴兩三個村莊;如果不依賴兩三個村莊,或者依賴一個國家;如果不依賴一個國家,或者依賴兩三個國家;如果不依賴兩三個國家,或者依賴這片大地乃至大海。他的意念專注于光明,成就光明想的遊歷,心中光明想達到極致,他的心解脫的界限也僅限於此。尊敬的阿那律陀!在兩種解脫中,這種解脫是至上、殊勝、微妙、最卓越的。』 阿那律陀尊者說:『迦旃延!因為這個原因,那些光天生在一個地方,知道有殊勝、微妙和不微妙之處。這是為什麼呢?因為人心有殊勝之處,修行就會有精細和粗糙之分,因為修行有精細和粗糙之分,所以得到的人就會有殊勝之處。賢者迦旃延!世尊也是這樣說的,人有殊勝之處。』
English version: 『Venerable Anuruddha, among the two kinds of liberation, which liberation is superior, excellent, subtle, and the most supreme?』 Venerable Anuruddha further asked: 『Wise Kaccāna, if a practitioner does not rely on two or three trees, or relies on a forest; if not relying on a forest, or relies on two or three forests; if not relying on two or three forests, or relies on a village; if not relying on a village, or relies on two or three villages; if not relying on two or three villages, or relies on a country; if not relying on a country, or relies on two or three countries; if not relying on two or three countries, or relies on this earth up to the great ocean. His mind is focused on light, achieving the journey of the light perception, the light perception in his mind reaches its peak, and the limit of his mind's liberation is only this. Wise Kaccāna, among these two kinds of liberation, which liberation is superior, excellent, subtle, and the most supreme?』 Venerable Kaccāna replied: 『Venerable Anuruddha, if a śramaṇa or brahmin does not rely on two or three trees, or relies on a forest; if not relying on a forest, or relies on two or three forests; if not relying on two or three forests, or relies on a village; if not relying on a village, or relies on two or three villages; if not relying on two or three villages, or relies on a country; if not relying on a country, or relies on two or three countries; if not relying on two or three countries, or relies on this earth up to the great ocean. His mind is focused on light, achieving the journey of the light perception, the light perception in his mind reaches its peak, and the limit of his mind's liberation is only this. Venerable Anuruddha, among the two kinds of liberation, this liberation is superior, excellent, subtle, and the most supreme.』 Venerable Anuruddha said: 『Kaccāna, because of this reason, those lights are born in one place, knowing there are superior, subtle, and non-subtle aspects. Why is that? Because the human mind has superior aspects, the practice will have fine and coarse distinctions, and because the practice has fine and coarse distinctions, the person who attains it will have superior aspects. Wise Kaccāna, the Blessed One also said this, that people have superior aspects.』
尊者真迦旃延復問曰:「尊者阿那律陀!彼凈光天生在一處,可知有勝如、妙與不妙耶?」
尊者阿那律陀答曰:「賢者迦旃延!可說彼凈光天生在一處,知有勝如、妙與不妙。」
尊者真迦旃延復問曰:「尊者阿那律陀!彼凈光天生在一處,何因何緣,知有勝如、妙與不妙耶?」
尊者阿那律陀答曰:「賢者迦旃延!若有沙門、梵志在無事處,或至樹下空安靜處,意解凈光天遍滿成就游,彼此定不修、不習、不廣,不極成就。彼於後時,身壞命終,生凈光天中。彼生已,不得極止息,不得極寂靜,亦不得盡壽訖。賢者迦旃延!猶青蓮華,紅、赤、白蓮,水生水長,在水底時,爾時根、莖、葉、華,彼一切水漬水澆,水所潤,無處不漬。賢者迦旃延!若有沙門、梵志在無事處,或至樹下空安靜處,意解凈光天遍滿成就游,彼此定不修、不習、不廣,不極成就,彼身壞命終,生凈光天中。彼生已,不得極止息,不得極寂靜,亦不得盡壽訖。

尊者真迦旃延又問:『尊者阿那律陀,那些凈光天眾生都生在同一個地方,可以知道他們之間有優劣、好壞之分嗎?』 尊者阿那律陀回答說:『賢者迦旃延,可以說那些凈光天眾生都生在同一個地方,可以知道他們之間有優劣、好壞之分。』 尊者真迦旃延又問:『尊者阿那律陀,那些凈光天眾生都生在同一個地方,是什麼原因、什麼緣故,可以知道他們之間有優劣、好壞之分呢?』 尊者阿那律陀回答說:『賢者迦旃延,如果有沙門、婆羅門在閑靜之處,或者到樹下空曠安靜的地方,心中觀想凈光天遍滿成就,但他們沒有對此進行禪定、修習、擴充套件,沒有達到極致的成就。他們死後,會生到凈光天中。他們生到那裡后,不能得到極致的止息,不能得到極致的寂靜,也不能享盡天壽。賢者迦旃延,就像青蓮花、紅蓮花、白蓮花,在水中生長,在水底時,它們的根、莖、葉、花,都被水浸泡、澆灌、滋潤,沒有哪個地方不被水浸泡。賢者迦旃延,如果有沙門、婆羅門在閑靜之處,或者到樹下空曠安靜的地方,心中觀想凈光天遍滿成就,但他們沒有對此進行禪定、修習、擴充套件,沒有達到極致的成就,他們死後,會生到凈光天中。他們生到那裡后,不能得到極致的止息,不能得到極致的寂靜,也不能享盡天壽。 『賢者迦旃延,還有沙門、婆羅門心中觀想凈光天遍滿成就,他們對此進行多次禪定、多次修習、多次擴充套件,達到了極致的成就,他們死後,會生到凈光天中。他們生到那裡后,能得到極致的止息,能得到極致的寂靜,也能享盡天壽。賢者迦旃延,就像青蓮花、紅蓮花、白蓮花,在水中生長,長出水面,不被水浸泡。
Venerable Mahākātyāyana then asked: 'Venerable Anuruddha, those gods of Pure Radiance, all born in the same place, can it be known that there are superior and inferior, good and bad among them?' Venerable Anuruddha replied: 'Wise Kātyāyana, it can be said that those gods of Pure Radiance, all born in the same place, can be known to have superior and inferior, good and bad among them.' Venerable Mahākātyāyana then asked: 'Venerable Anuruddha, those gods of Pure Radiance, all born in the same place, what is the cause, what is the reason, that it can be known that there are superior and inferior, good and bad among them?' Venerable Anuruddha replied: 'Wise Kātyāyana, if there are ascetics or brahmins who, in a secluded place, or under a tree in an empty and quiet place, mentally conceive of the Pure Radiance pervading and being accomplished, but they do not practice, cultivate, or expand this meditation, nor do they achieve it to the extreme. After their death, they will be born in the Pure Radiance heaven. Having been born there, they cannot attain ultimate cessation, cannot attain ultimate tranquility, nor can they live out their full lifespan. Wise Kātyāyana, just like blue lotuses, red lotuses, and white lotuses, growing in water, when they are at the bottom of the water, their roots, stems, leaves, and flowers are all soaked, watered, and nourished by the water, with no part not being soaked. Wise Kātyāyana, if there are ascetics or brahmins who, in a secluded place, or under a tree in an empty and quiet place, mentally conceive of the Pure Radiance pervading and being accomplished, but they do not practice, cultivate, or expand this meditation, nor do they achieve it to the extreme, after their death, they will be born in the Pure Radiance heaven. Having been born there, they cannot attain ultimate cessation, cannot attain ultimate tranquility, nor can they live out their full lifespan.' 'Wise Kātyāyana, there are also ascetics or brahmins who mentally conceive of the Pure Radiance pervading and being accomplished, and they repeatedly practice, repeatedly cultivate, and repeatedly expand this meditation, achieving it to the extreme. After their death, they will be born in the Pure Radiance heaven. Having been born there, they can attain ultimate cessation, can attain ultimate tranquility, and can live out their full lifespan. Wise Kātyāyana, just like blue lotuses, red lotuses, and white lotuses, growing in water, rising above the water, and not being soaked by the water.'
。賢者迦旃延!如是復有沙門、梵志在無事處,或至樹下空安靜處,意解凈光天遍滿成就游,彼此定數修、數習、數廣,極成就,彼身壞命終,生凈光天中。彼生已,得極止息,得極寂靜,亦得壽盡訖。
「賢者迦旃延!因是緣是,彼凈光天生在一處,知有勝如、妙與不妙。所以者何?因人心勝如故,修便有精粗,因修有精粗故,得人則有勝如。賢者迦旃延!世尊亦如是說,人有勝如。」
尊者真迦旃延復問曰:「尊者阿那律陀!彼遍凈光天生在一處,可知有勝如、妙與不妙耶?」
尊者阿那律陀答曰:「賢者迦旃延!可說彼遍凈光天生在一處,知有勝如、妙與不妙。」
尊者真迦旃延復問曰:「尊者阿那律陀!彼遍凈光天生在一處,何因何緣知有勝如、妙與不妙耶?」
尊者阿那律陀答曰:「賢者迦旃延!若有沙門、梵志在無事處,或至樹下空安靜處,意解遍凈光天遍滿成就游。彼不極止睡眠,不善息調悔,彼於後時身壞命終,生遍凈光天中。彼生已,光不極凈。賢者迦旃延!譬如燃燈,因緣油炷,若油有滓,炷復不凈,因是燈光生不明凈
現代漢語譯本:賢者迦旃延!還有一些沙門和婆羅門,在無事的地方,或者到樹下空曠安靜之處,用意念觀想清凈的光明遍滿,修行並達到成就。他們反覆地修習、練習、擴充套件這種觀想,最終達到極致。他們身壞命終后,會往生到清凈光明天。他們往生后,會獲得極大的止息,極大的寂靜,並且壽命終盡。 賢者迦旃延!因為這個原因,這些往生到清凈光明天的人,在同一個地方,也會知道有優劣、好壞之分。這是為什麼呢?因為人心有優劣,修行就會有精粗之別,因為修行有精粗之別,所以往生的人就會有優劣之分。賢者迦旃延!世尊也是這樣說的,人有優劣之分。 尊者真迦旃延又問:『尊者阿那律陀!那些往生到遍凈光明天的人,在同一個地方,可以知道有優劣、好壞之分嗎?』 尊者阿那律陀回答說:『賢者迦旃延!可以說那些往生到遍凈光明天的人,在同一個地方,知道有優劣、好壞之分。』 尊者真迦旃延又問:『尊者阿那律陀!那些往生到遍凈光明天的人,在同一個地方,是因為什麼原因知道有優劣、好壞之分呢?』 尊者阿那律陀回答說:『賢者迦旃延!如果有一些沙門或婆羅門,在無事的地方,或者到樹下空曠安靜之處,用意念觀想遍凈的光明遍滿,修行並達到成就。他們沒有完全停止睡眠,沒有很好地調伏悔恨,他們之後身壞命終,往生到遍凈光明天。他們往生后,光芒不夠清凈。賢者迦旃延!譬如點燃燈,依靠燈油和燈芯,如果燈油有雜質,燈芯又不乾淨,因此燈光就會不明亮。』
English version: 'Venerable Katyayana! Furthermore, there are some ascetics and Brahmins who, in secluded places, or under trees in quiet spots, mentally cultivate and achieve the perception of pure light pervading all. They repeatedly practice, train, and expand this perception, ultimately reaching its peak. Upon the dissolution of their bodies, they are reborn in the realm of pure light. Having been reborn, they attain ultimate cessation, ultimate tranquility, and also reach the end of their lifespan.' 'Venerable Katyayana! Because of this reason, those reborn in the realm of pure light, even in the same place, know that there are differences in superiority and inferiority, good and bad. Why is this so? Because the minds of people have differences in superiority, their practice will have differences in refinement and coarseness. Because their practice has differences in refinement and coarseness, those who are reborn will have differences in superiority. Venerable Katyayana! The World Honored One also said this, that people have differences in superiority.' Venerable True Katyayana then asked: 'Venerable Anuruddha! Those who are reborn in the realm of pervading pure light, in the same place, can they know that there are differences in superiority and inferiority, good and bad?' Venerable Anuruddha replied: 'Venerable Katyayana! It can be said that those who are reborn in the realm of pervading pure light, in the same place, know that there are differences in superiority and inferiority, good and bad.' Venerable True Katyayana then asked: 'Venerable Anuruddha! Those who are reborn in the realm of pervading pure light, in the same place, for what reason do they know that there are differences in superiority and inferiority, good and bad?' Venerable Anuruddha replied: 'Venerable Katyayana! If there are some ascetics or Brahmins who, in secluded places, or under trees in quiet spots, mentally cultivate and achieve the perception of pervading pure light. They do not completely cease sleep, and do not well subdue their remorse. Later, upon the dissolution of their bodies, they are reborn in the realm of pervading pure light. Having been reborn, their light is not very pure. Venerable Katyayana! It is like lighting a lamp, relying on oil and wick. If the oil has impurities, and the wick is not clean, then the light of the lamp will be dim and not clear.'
。賢者迦旃延!如是若有沙門、梵志在無事處,或至樹下空安靜處,意解遍凈光天遍滿成就游,彼不極止睡眠,不善息調悔,彼身壞命終,生遍凈光天中。彼生已,光不極凈。
「賢者迦旃延!復有沙門、梵志在無事處,或至樹下空安靜處,意解遍凈光天遍滿成就游。彼極止睡眠,善息調悔,彼身壞命終,生遍凈光天中。彼生已,光極明凈。賢者迦旃延!譬如然燈,因緣油炷,若油無滓,炷復極凈,因是燈光生極明凈。
「賢者迦旃延!如是復有沙門、梵志在無事處,或至樹下空安靜處,意解遍凈光天遍滿成就游。彼極止睡眠,善息調悔,彼身壞命終,生遍凈光天中。彼生已,光極明凈。
「賢者迦旃延!因是緣是,彼遍凈光天生在一處,知有勝如、妙與不妙。所以者何?因人心勝如故,修便有精粗,因修有精粗故,得人則有勝如。賢者迦旃延!世尊亦如是說,人有勝如。」
於是,尊者真迦旃延嘆仙余財主曰:「善哉!善哉!財主!汝為我等多所饒益。所以者何?初問尊者阿那律陀有勝天,我等未曾從尊者阿那律陀聞如是義,是謂彼天、有彼天、如是彼天
現代漢語譯本:賢者迦旃延!如果有些沙門或婆羅門在無人的地方,或者到樹下空曠安靜之處,心中想著遍凈光天,並達到完全的境界,他們不完全停止睡眠,不能很好地平息悔恨,他們身死之後,會生到遍凈光天中。他們出生后,光芒不夠明亮。 現代漢語譯本:賢者迦旃延!又有些沙門或婆羅門在無人的地方,或者到樹下空曠安靜之處,心中想著遍凈光天,並達到完全的境界。他們完全停止睡眠,很好地平息悔恨,他們身死之後,會生到遍凈光天中。他們出生后,光芒非常明亮。賢者迦旃延!就像點燃燈一樣,依靠油和燈芯,如果油沒有雜質,燈芯又非常乾淨,因此燈光會非常明亮。 現代漢語譯本:賢者迦旃延!同樣,有些沙門或婆羅門在無人的地方,或者到樹下空曠安靜之處,心中想著遍凈光天,並達到完全的境界。他們完全停止睡眠,很好地平息悔恨,他們身死之後,會生到遍凈光天中。他們出生后,光芒非常明亮。 現代漢語譯本:賢者迦旃延!因為這個原因,那些生在遍凈光天的人,會知道有勝劣、好壞之分。為什麼呢?因為人心有勝劣,修行就有精粗之別,因為修行有精粗之別,所以得到的人就有勝劣之分。賢者迦旃延!世尊也是這樣說的,人有勝劣之分。 現代漢語譯本:於是,尊者真迦旃延讚歎仙余財主說:『太好了!太好了!財主!你對我們有很大的幫助。為什麼呢?當初問尊者阿那律陀關於勝天的問題,我們從未從尊者阿那律陀那裡聽到過這樣的道理,這就是所謂的天、有這樣的天、像這樣的天。』
English version: 'Venerable Katyayana! If there are some ascetics or Brahmins who, in a secluded place, or under a tree in a quiet place, contemplate the Radiant Heavens and achieve complete mastery, they do not fully cease sleep, nor do they properly calm their remorse. When their bodies break up, they are reborn in the Radiant Heavens. Upon being born, their light is not very bright.' English version: 'Venerable Katyayana! Again, there are some ascetics or Brahmins who, in a secluded place, or under a tree in a quiet place, contemplate the Radiant Heavens and achieve complete mastery. They fully cease sleep and properly calm their remorse. When their bodies break up, they are reborn in the Radiant Heavens. Upon being born, their light is extremely bright. Venerable Katyayana! It is like lighting a lamp; depending on the oil and wick, if the oil is without impurities and the wick is very clean, the light produced will be extremely bright.' English version: 'Venerable Katyayana! Similarly, there are some ascetics or Brahmins who, in a secluded place, or under a tree in a quiet place, contemplate the Radiant Heavens and achieve complete mastery. They fully cease sleep and properly calm their remorse. When their bodies break up, they are reborn in the Radiant Heavens. Upon being born, their light is extremely bright.' English version: 'Venerable Katyayana! Because of this reason, those born in the Radiant Heavens know that there are superior and inferior, good and bad distinctions. Why is that? Because the human mind has superior and inferior qualities, cultivation has refined and coarse aspects, and because cultivation has refined and coarse aspects, the people who attain it have superior and inferior qualities. Venerable Katyayana! The World Honored One also said that people have superior and inferior qualities.' English version: 'Then, the Venerable True Katyayana praised the wealthy householder Xian Yu, saying, 『Excellent! Excellent! Householder! You have greatly benefited us. Why is that? When we first asked the Venerable Anuruddha about the superior heavens, we had never heard such a teaching from the Venerable Anuruddha. This is what is meant by that heaven, having that heaven, being like that heaven.』'
於是,尊者阿那律陀告曰:「賢者迦旃延!多有彼天,謂此日月如是有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神,以光不及光,彼與我集,共相慰勞,有所論說,有所答對,然我不如是說,是謂彼天、有彼天、如是彼天。」
爾時,仙余財主知彼尊者所說已訖,即從坐起,自行澡水,以極凈美種種豐饒食啖含消,手自斟酌,令得飽滿。食訖舉器,行澡水已,取一小床,別坐聽法。仙余財主坐已,尊者阿那律陀而為說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,從坐起去。
尊者阿那律陀所說如是。仙余財主及諸比丘,聞尊者阿那律陀所說,歡喜奉行。
有勝天經第八竟(二千五百九十九字)
(八〇)中阿含長壽王品迦絺那經第九(第二小土城誦)
爾時,尊者阿那律陀亦在舍衛國,住娑羅邏巖山中。於是,尊者阿那律陀過夜平旦,著衣持缽,入舍衛乞食。尊者阿難亦復平旦著衣持缽,入舍衛乞食。
尊者阿那律陀見尊者阿難亦行乞食,見已,語曰:「賢者阿難!當知我三衣粗素壞盡。賢者!今可倩諸比丘為我作衣。」尊者阿難為尊者阿那律陀默然許倩
於是,尊者阿那律陀說道:『賢者迦旃延!有很多天神認為日月擁有如此強大的如意足,具有巨大的威德、福祐和威神力,它們的光芒相互交織,彼此聚集,互相慰問,進行討論和回答。但我不會這樣說,說那些天神是那樣的天神,是這樣的天神。』 當時,仙余財主知道尊者所說完畢后,就從座位上站起來,自己去洗手,用極其乾淨美味的各種豐盛食物進食,直到飽足。吃完后,他收拾餐具,洗完手,取來一張小床,坐在一旁聽法。仙余財主坐下後,尊者阿那律陀為他說法,勸導他生起渴望,成就歡喜。用無量方便為他說法,勸導他生起渴望,成就歡喜后,就從座位上起身離開了。 尊者阿那律陀所說的就是這樣。仙余財主和眾比丘聽了尊者阿那律陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 《有勝天經》第八完(二千五百九十九字) (八〇)《中阿含·長壽王品·迦絺那經》第九(第二小土城誦) 當時,尊者阿那律陀也在舍衛國,住在娑羅邏巖山中。於是,尊者阿那律陀在清晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。尊者阿難也在清晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。 尊者阿那律陀見到尊者阿難也在乞食,見到后,對他說:『賢者阿難!你要知道我的三衣已經破舊不堪了。賢者!現在可以請諸位比丘為我做衣服。』尊者阿難默許了尊者阿那律陀的請求。
Then, the venerable Anuruddha said, 'Venerable Katyayana! There are many gods who believe that the sun and moon possess such great magical powers, great majesty, great blessings, and great divine power. Their lights intertwine, they gather together, they comfort each other, and they engage in discussions and answers. But I would not say that those gods are such gods, or like that god.' At that time, the wealthy householder Xianyu, knowing that the venerable one had finished speaking, rose from his seat, went to wash his hands, and ate various abundant foods that were extremely clean and delicious until he was full. After eating, he cleared the dishes, washed his hands, and took a small bed to sit aside and listen to the Dharma. After the wealthy householder Xianyu sat down, the venerable Anuruddha preached the Dharma to him, encouraging him to generate longing and achieve joy. He used countless skillful means to preach the Dharma to him, encouraging him to generate longing and achieve joy, and then he rose from his seat and left. This is what the venerable Anuruddha said. The wealthy householder Xianyu and the monks, having heard what the venerable Anuruddha said, joyfully practiced it. The eighth 'Superior Gods Sutra' is complete (2,599 words). (80) The ninth 'Kacchana Sutra' of the 'Long Life King Chapter' in the 'Madhyama Agama' (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At that time, the venerable Anuruddha was also in Shravasti, residing in the Salalara Rock Mountain. Then, the venerable Anuruddha, in the early morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered Shravasti to beg for alms. The venerable Ananda also, in the early morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered Shravasti to beg for alms. The venerable Anuruddha saw the venerable Ananda also begging for alms. Having seen him, he said, 'Venerable Ananda! You should know that my three robes are worn out and tattered. Venerable one! Now, could you ask the monks to make robes for me?' The venerable Ananda silently agreed to the venerable Anuruddha's request.
於是,尊者阿難捨衛乞食已,食訖,中后收舉衣缽,澡洗手足,以尼師檀著于肩上,手執戶鑰,遍詣房房,見諸比丘便語之曰:「諸尊!今往詣娑羅邏巖山中,為尊者阿那律陀作衣。」
於是,諸比丘聞尊者阿難語,皆往詣娑羅邏巖山中,為尊者阿那律陀作衣。
於是,世尊見尊者阿難手執戶鑰,遍詣房房,見已,問曰:「阿難!汝以何事,手執戶鑰,遍詣房房?」
尊者阿難白曰:「世尊!我今倩諸比丘,為尊者阿那律陀作衣。」
世尊告曰:「阿難!汝何以故不請如來為阿那律陀比丘作衣?」
於是,尊者阿難即叉手向佛,白世尊曰:「唯愿世尊往詣娑羅邏巖山中,為尊者阿那律陀作衣。」世尊為尊者阿難默然而許。
於是,世尊將尊者阿難,往詣娑羅邏巖山中比丘眾前,敷坐而坐。爾時,娑羅邏巖山中有八百比丘及世尊共集坐,為尊者阿那律陀作衣。
彼時,尊者大目揵連亦在眾中。於是,世尊告曰:「目揵連!我能為阿那律陀舒張衣裁,割截連綴而縫合之。」
爾時,尊者大目揵連即從座起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白世尊曰:「唯愿世尊為賢者阿那律陀舒張衣裁,諸比丘當共割截,連綴縫合
於是,尊者阿難在舍衛城乞食完畢,吃完飯後,收拾好衣缽,洗凈手腳,將尼師檀搭在肩上,拿著房門鑰匙,挨個到各個僧房,見到比丘就說:『諸位尊者!我現在要去娑羅邏巖山,為尊者阿那律陀做衣服。』 於是,比丘們聽到尊者阿難的話,都前往娑羅邏巖山,為尊者阿那律陀做衣服。 這時,世尊看見尊者阿難拿著房門鑰匙,挨個到各個僧房,看見后,問道:『阿難!你為何拿著房門鑰匙,挨個到各個僧房?』 尊者阿難回答說:『世尊!我現在請比丘們為尊者阿那律陀做衣服。』 世尊說:『阿難!你為什麼不請如來為阿那律陀比丘做衣服呢?』 於是,尊者阿難立刻向佛合掌,對世尊說:『希望世尊前往娑羅邏巖山,為尊者阿那律陀做衣服。』世尊默許了尊者阿難的請求。 於是,世尊帶著尊者阿難,前往娑羅邏巖山的比丘眾前,鋪好座位坐下。當時,娑羅邏巖山中有八百比丘和世尊一起聚集坐著,為尊者阿那律陀做衣服。 那時,尊者大目犍連也在人群中。於是,世尊說:『目犍連!我能為阿那律陀展開衣料,裁剪、連線並縫合。』 這時,尊者大目犍連立刻從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,向佛合掌,對世尊說:『希望世尊為賢者阿那律陀展開衣料,我們比丘們會一起裁剪、連線並縫合。』
Then, the venerable Ananda, having finished his alms round in Shravasti, after eating, put away his bowl and robes, washed his hands and feet, placed the nisidana on his shoulder, and holding the door key, went to each dwelling, saying to the monks, 'Venerable ones! I am now going to Sararala Rock Mountain to make a robe for the venerable Anuruddha.' Then, the monks, hearing the words of the venerable Ananda, all went to Sararala Rock Mountain to make a robe for the venerable Anuruddha. At that time, the World-Honored One saw the venerable Ananda holding the door key, going to each dwelling, and having seen him, asked, 'Ananda! Why are you holding the door key, going to each dwelling?' The venerable Ananda replied, 'World-Honored One! I am now asking the monks to make a robe for the venerable Anuruddha.' The World-Honored One said, 'Ananda! Why do you not ask the Tathagata to make a robe for the monk Anuruddha?' Then, the venerable Ananda immediately clasped his hands towards the Buddha, and said to the World-Honored One, 'May the World-Honored One go to Sararala Rock Mountain to make a robe for the venerable Anuruddha.' The World-Honored One silently agreed to the venerable Ananda's request. Then, the World-Honored One, taking the venerable Ananda, went to the assembly of monks at Sararala Rock Mountain, spread out a seat and sat down. At that time, there were eight hundred monks and the World-Honored One gathered together at Sararala Rock Mountain, making a robe for the venerable Anuruddha. At that time, the venerable Maha Moggallana was also in the assembly. Then, the World-Honored One said, 'Moggallana! I can spread out the cloth for Anuruddha, cut, join, and sew it together.' At that time, the venerable Maha Moggallana immediately rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, clasped his hands towards the Buddha, and said to the World-Honored One, 'May the World-Honored One spread out the cloth for the venerable Anuruddha, and we monks will cut, join, and sew it together.'
於是,世尊即為尊者阿那律陀舒張衣裁,諸比丘便共割截,連綴縫合,即彼一日為尊者阿那律陀成三衣訖。
爾時,世尊知尊者阿那律陀三衣已成,則便告曰:「阿那律陀!汝為諸比丘說迦絺那法,我今腰痛,欲小自息。」
尊者阿那律陀白曰:「唯然。世尊!」
於是,世尊四疊優多羅僧以敷床上,襞僧伽梨作枕,右脅而臥,足足相累,作光明想,立正念正智,常作起想。
彼時,尊者阿那律陀告諸比丘:「諸賢!我本未出家學道時,厭生老病死、啼哭懊惱、悲泣憂戚,欲斷此大苦聚。諸賢!我厭已而作是觀:『居家至狹,塵勞之處,出家學道,發露曠大。我今在家為鎖所鎖,不得盡形壽修諸梵行,我寧可舍少財物及多財物,舍少親族及多親族,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道。』諸賢!我於後時舍少財物及多財物,舍少親族及多親族,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道。諸賢!我出家學道,舍族姓已,受比丘學,修行禁戒,守護從解脫,又復善攝威儀禮節,見纖介罪,常懷畏怖,受持學戒。
「諸賢!我離殺,斷殺,棄捨刀杖,有慚有愧,有慈悲心,饒益一切乃至蜫蟲,我于殺生凈除其心
於是,世尊就為尊者阿那律陀展開衣料,眾比丘便一起裁剪、連線縫合,當天就為尊者阿那律陀做成了三衣。 當時,世尊知道尊者阿那律陀的三衣已經做好,就告訴他說:『阿那律陀!你為眾比丘講解迦絺那法,我現在腰痛,想稍微休息一下。』 尊者阿那律陀回答說:『好的,世尊!』 於是,世尊將四層優多羅僧鋪在床上,把僧伽梨疊起來當枕頭,右側臥下,雙腳交疊,想著光明,保持正念正知,經常想著起身。 那時,尊者阿那律陀告訴眾比丘:『各位賢者!我以前還沒出家學道時,厭惡生老病死、啼哭懊惱、悲傷憂愁,想要斷除這巨大的苦難。各位賢者!我厭惡之後就這樣想:『在家生活狹隘,充滿塵世煩惱,出家學道,則開闊廣大。我現在在家被束縛,不能盡一生修行梵行,我寧可捨棄少許或許多的財物,捨棄少許或許多的親族,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信心,捨棄家庭,過無家生活,學習佛道。』各位賢者!我後來捨棄了少許或許多的財物,捨棄了少許或許多的親族,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信心,捨棄家庭,過無家生活,學習佛道。各位賢者!我出家學道,捨棄了家族姓氏后,接受了比丘的戒律,修行禁戒,守護解脫之道,又善於攝持威儀禮節,見到細微的罪過,常常心懷畏懼,受持戒律。 『各位賢者!我遠離殺生,斷絕殺生,拋棄刀杖,有慚愧心,有慈悲心,饒益一切眾生乃至昆蟲,我對於殺生清凈了我的心。』
Then, the World Honored One spread out the robe material for the Venerable Anuruddha, and the monks together cut, joined, and sewed it, completing the three robes for the Venerable Anuruddha on that very day. At that time, the World Honored One, knowing that the three robes of the Venerable Anuruddha were completed, then said, 'Anuruddha! You should explain the Kathina Dharma to the monks. I have a backache and wish to rest a little.' The Venerable Anuruddha replied, 'Yes, World Honored One!' Then, the World Honored One folded the Uttarasanga four times to lay on the bed, folded the Sanghati to use as a pillow, lay down on his right side, with his feet overlapping, thinking of light, maintaining right mindfulness and right knowledge, and constantly thinking of getting up. At that time, the Venerable Anuruddha told the monks, 'Venerable ones! Before I left home to study the Way, I was disgusted with birth, old age, sickness, death, crying, distress, sorrow, and grief, and I wanted to end this great mass of suffering. Venerable ones! After being disgusted, I thought, 'Living at home is narrow, a place of worldly troubles, while leaving home to study the Way is vast and open. Now, I am bound by the chains of home and cannot practice the pure life for the rest of my life. I would rather give up a little or a lot of wealth, give up a little or a lot of relatives, shave my head and beard, wear the monastic robe, with firm faith, leave home, live without a home, and study the Way.' Venerable ones! Later, I gave up a little or a lot of wealth, gave up a little or a lot of relatives, shaved my head and beard, wore the monastic robe, with firm faith, left home, lived without a home, and studied the Way. Venerable ones! After leaving home to study the Way, having given up my family name, I received the precepts of a monk, practiced the precepts, guarded the path to liberation, and was also good at maintaining proper conduct and etiquette. Seeing even the slightest fault, I always felt fear and upheld the precepts. 'Venerable ones! I abstain from killing, I have given up killing, I have discarded knives and weapons, I have a sense of shame and remorse, I have a compassionate heart, I benefit all beings, even insects, and I have purified my mind from killing.'

現代漢語譯本:諸位賢者!我以清凈的天眼,超越常人,看見這些眾生死去和出生,他們的相貌或好或壞,或美妙或不美妙,往來於善處和不善處,我根據這些眾生所造的業,如實地看見他們的情況。如果這些眾產生就了身惡行、口惡行、意惡行,誹謗聖人,持有邪見,造作邪見之業,他們因此因緣,身壞命終后,必定會墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。如果這些眾產生就了身妙行、口妙行、意妙行,不誹謗聖人,持有正見,造作正見之業,他們因此因緣,身壞命終后,必定會升入善道,上生於天界之中。 現代漢語譯本:諸位賢者!我已經獲得瞭如此的定心,清凈無垢,沒有煩惱,柔軟安住,得到了不動的心,通過修學漏盡智通而作證。諸位賢者!我如實地知道苦,知道苦的生起,知道苦的滅盡,知道滅苦之道;如實地知道煩惱,知道煩惱的生起,知道煩惱的滅盡,知道滅煩惱之道。他如此地知曉,如此地看見,欲漏之心得到解脫,有漏和無明漏之心也得到解脫。解脫之後,便知道自己已經解脫,生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的事情已經完成,不再受後有,如實地知道這一切。 現代漢語譯本:諸位賢者!如果有比丘犯戒、破戒、缺戒、穿戒、污戒、黑戒,想要依靠戒律建立戒律,以戒律為階梯,登上無上智慧的殿堂,進入正法的閣樓,這是絕對不可能的。諸位賢者!就像離村莊不遠的地方,有一座樓閣,其中安放著梯子,或者有十級臺階,或者有十二級臺階。如果有人前來,想要登上那座樓閣,如果不先登上梯子的第一級臺階,就想登上第二級臺階,這是絕對不可能的;如果不登上第二級臺階,就想登上第三級、第四級,直到登上樓閣,這也是絕對不可能的。
English version: 'Venerable ones! With my pure divine eye, surpassing that of ordinary humans, I see these beings passing away and being born, their appearances either good or bad, beautiful or not beautiful, going to good or bad destinations. According to the deeds these beings have done, I see them as they truly are. If these beings have committed evil deeds in body, speech, and mind, slandered the noble ones, held wrong views, and engaged in actions based on wrong views, they, due to these causes, after the breaking up of the body, will certainly go to a bad destination, being born in hell. If these beings have committed good deeds in body, speech, and mind, not slandered the noble ones, held right views, and engaged in actions based on right views, they, due to these causes, after the breaking up of the body, will certainly go to a good destination, being born in heaven.' English version: 'Venerable ones! I have attained such a state of concentrated mind, pure and without defilement, without agitation, pliable and well-established, having attained an unshakeable mind, and through the practice of the knowledge of the destruction of the outflows, I have realized it. Venerable ones! I know suffering as it truly is, I know the arising of suffering, I know the cessation of suffering, and I know the path leading to the cessation of suffering. I know the outflows, I know the arising of the outflows, I know the cessation of the outflows, and I know the path leading to the cessation of the outflows. Knowing and seeing thus, the mind is liberated from the outflow of sensual desire, the mind is liberated from the outflow of becoming and the outflow of ignorance. Upon liberation, one knows that one is liberated, birth is exhausted, the holy life is lived, what had to be done is done, there is no more becoming, one knows this as it truly is.' English version: 'Venerable ones! If there is a monk who has violated the precepts, broken the precepts, has deficient precepts, has pierced precepts, has defiled precepts, has black precepts, and wishes to establish precepts upon precepts, to use precepts as a ladder to ascend to the hall of supreme wisdom, to enter the pavilion of the true Dharma, this is absolutely impossible. Venerable ones! Just as not far from a village, there is a tower or pavilion, in which a ladder is placed, with either ten steps or twelve steps. If someone comes, wishing to ascend that tower or pavilion, if they do not first step onto the first step of the ladder, wishing to step onto the second step, this is absolutely impossible; if they do not step onto the second step, wishing to step onto the third or fourth, until they ascend the tower or pavilion, this is absolutely impossible.'
。諸賢!如是若有比丘犯戒、破戒、缺戒、穿戒、穢戒、黑戒者,欲依戒立戒,以戒為梯,升無上慧堂正法閣者,終無是處。
「諸賢!若有比丘不犯戒、破戒、缺戒、穿戒、穢戒、黑戒者,欲依戒立戒,以戒為梯,升無上慧堂正法閣者,必有是處。諸賢!猶去村不遠,有樓觀堂閣,其中安梯或施十隥,或十二隥,若有人來,求愿欲得升彼堂閣,若登此梯第一隥上,欲登第二隥者,必有是處;若登第二隥,欲登第三、四,至升堂閣者,必有是處。諸賢!如是若有比丘不犯戒、破戒、缺戒、穿戒、穢戒、黑戒者,欲依戒立戒,以戒為梯,升無上慧堂正法閣者,必有是處。
「諸賢!我依戒立戒,以戒為梯,升無上慧堂正法之閣,以小方便觀千世界。諸賢!猶有目人住高樓上,以小方便觀下露地,見千土塹。諸賢!我亦如是,依戒立戒,以戒為梯,升無上慧堂正法之閣,以小方便觀千世界。諸賢!若王大象,或有七寶,或復減八,以多羅葉覆之,如我覆藏於此六通。
「諸賢!若於我如意足智通作證有疑惑者,彼應問我,我當答之。諸賢!若於我天耳智通作證有疑惑者,彼應問我,我當答之。諸賢!若於我他心智通作證有疑惑者,彼應問我,我當答之
現代漢語譯本:諸位賢者!如果有一位比丘犯戒、破戒、缺戒、穿戒、污戒、黑戒,卻想依靠戒律建立戒律,以戒律為階梯,登上無上智慧殿堂正法閣,這是不可能的。 現代漢語譯本:諸位賢者!如果有一位比丘不犯戒、不破戒、不缺戒、不穿戒、不污戒、不黑戒,想依靠戒律建立戒律,以戒律為階梯,登上無上智慧殿堂正法閣,這是必然可以實現的。諸位賢者!就像離村莊不遠的地方,有一座樓閣,其中安放著梯子,或者有十級臺階,或者有十二級臺階。如果有人來,想要登上那座樓閣,如果他登上這梯子的第一級臺階,想要登上第二級臺階,這是必然可以實現的;如果他登上第二級臺階,想要登上第三級、第四級,直到登上樓閣,這也是必然可以實現的。諸位賢者!同樣,如果有一位比丘不犯戒、不破戒、不缺戒、不穿戒、不污戒、不黑戒,想依靠戒律建立戒律,以戒律為階梯,登上無上智慧殿堂正法閣,這是必然可以實現的。 現代漢語譯本:諸位賢者!我依靠戒律建立戒律,以戒律為階梯,登上無上智慧殿堂正法之閣,以微小的方便觀察千個世界。諸位賢者!就像有視力的人住在高樓上,以微小的方便觀察下面的露天場地,看到千個土坑。諸位賢者!我也是這樣,依靠戒律建立戒律,以戒律為階梯,登上無上智慧殿堂正法之閣,以微小的方便觀察千個世界。諸位賢者!就像國王的大象,或者有七寶,或者少於八寶,用多羅葉覆蓋著,就像我覆蓋隱藏著這六種神通一樣。 現代漢語譯本:諸位賢者!如果有人對我如意足智通的證悟有所懷疑,他應該問我,我將回答他。諸位賢者!如果有人對我天耳智通的證悟有所懷疑,他應該問我,我將回答他。諸位賢者!如果有人對我他心智通的證悟有所懷疑,他應該問我,我將回答他。
English version: 'Virtuous ones! If there is a bhikkhu who violates precepts, breaks precepts, lacks precepts, pierces precepts, defiles precepts, or blackens precepts, and yet wishes to establish precepts upon precepts, using precepts as a ladder to ascend to the Hall of Supreme Wisdom, the Pavilion of Righteous Dharma, this is impossible.' English version: 'Virtuous ones! If there is a bhikkhu who does not violate precepts, does not break precepts, does not lack precepts, does not pierce precepts, does not defile precepts, and does not blacken precepts, and wishes to establish precepts upon precepts, using precepts as a ladder to ascend to the Hall of Supreme Wisdom, the Pavilion of Righteous Dharma, this is certainly possible. Virtuous ones! It is like a tower not far from a village, where a ladder is placed, with either ten steps or twelve steps. If someone comes, desiring to ascend that tower, if they step onto the first step of this ladder, desiring to step onto the second step, this is certainly possible; if they step onto the second step, desiring to step onto the third, fourth, until they ascend the tower, this is certainly possible.

English version: 'Virtuous ones! I establish precepts upon precepts, using precepts as a ladder, ascending to the Pavilion of Righteous Dharma in the Hall of Supreme Wisdom, and with a small convenience, I observe a thousand worlds. Virtuous ones! It is like a sighted person living in a high tower, who with a small convenience observes the open ground below, seeing a thousand ditches. Virtuous ones! I am also like this, establishing precepts upon precepts, using precepts as a ladder, ascending to the Pavilion of Righteous Dharma in the Hall of Supreme Wisdom, and with a small convenience, I observe a thousand worlds. Virtuous ones! It is like a king's elephant, or having seven treasures, or less than eight, covered with palm leaves, just as I cover and conceal these six supernormal powers.' English version: 'Virtuous ones! If anyone has doubts about my realization of the supernormal power of psychic ability, they should ask me, and I will answer them. Virtuous ones! If anyone has doubts about my realization of the supernormal power of divine hearing, they should ask me, and I will answer them. Virtuous ones! If anyone has doubts about my realization of the supernormal power of knowing others' minds, they should ask me, and I will answer them.'
。諸賢!若於我宿命智通作證有疑惑者,彼應問我,我當答之。諸賢!若於我生死智通作證有疑惑者,彼應問我,我當答之。諸賢!若於我漏盡智通作證有疑惑者,彼應問我,我當答之。」
於是,尊者阿難白曰:「尊者阿那律陀!今娑羅邏巖山集坐八百比丘及世尊在中,為尊者阿那律陀作衣,若於尊者阿那律陀如意足智通作證有疑惑者,彼當問之,尊者阿那律陀答。若於尊者阿那律陀天耳智通作證有疑惑者,彼當問之,尊者阿那律陀答。若於尊者阿那律陀他心智通作證有疑惑者,彼當問之,尊者阿那律陀答。若於尊者阿那律陀宿命智通作證有疑惑者,彼當問之,尊者阿那律陀答。若於尊者阿那律陀生死智通作證有疑惑者,彼當問之,尊者阿那律陀答。若於尊者阿那律陀漏盡智通作證有疑惑者,彼當問之,尊者阿那律陀答。但我等長夜以心識尊者阿那律陀心,如尊者阿那律陀,有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神。」
於是,世尊所患已差而得安隱,即時便起,結加趺坐。世尊坐已,嘆尊者阿那律陀曰:「善哉!善哉!阿那律陀!極善。阿那律陀!謂汝為諸比丘說迦絺那法。阿那律陀!汝復為諸比丘說迦絺那法。阿那律陀!汝為諸比丘數數說迦絺那法
現代漢語譯本:'諸位賢者!如果有人對我證得宿命智通感到疑惑,他們應該問我,我將回答他們。諸位賢者!如果有人對我證得生死智通感到疑惑,他們應該問我,我將回答他們。諸位賢者!如果有人對我證得漏盡智通感到疑惑,他們應該問我,我將回答他們。' 於是,尊者阿難說道:'尊者阿那律陀!現在娑羅邏巖山聚集了八百位比丘,世尊也在其中,正在為尊者阿那律陀製作袈裟。如果有人對尊者阿那律陀證得如意足智通感到疑惑,他們應該問他,尊者阿那律陀會回答。如果有人對尊者阿那律陀證得天耳智通感到疑惑,他們應該問他,尊者阿那律陀會回答。如果有人對尊者阿那律陀證得他心智通感到疑惑,他們應該問他,尊者阿那律陀會回答。如果有人對尊者阿那律陀證得宿命智通感到疑惑,他們應該問他,尊者阿那律陀會回答。如果有人對尊者阿那律陀證得生死智通感到疑惑,他們應該問他,尊者阿那律陀會回答。如果有人對尊者阿那律陀證得漏盡智通感到疑惑,他們應該問他,尊者阿那律陀會回答。但是我們長久以來用心瞭解尊者阿那律陀的心,知道尊者阿那律陀擁有強大的如意足,擁有強大的威德,擁有強大的福佑,擁有強大的威神。' 於是,世尊的病已經痊癒並感到安穩,隨即起身,結跏趺坐。世尊坐下後,讚歎尊者阿那律陀說:'好啊!好啊!阿那律陀!你做得非常好。阿那律陀!你為眾比丘講解迦絺那法。阿那律陀!你再次為眾比丘講解迦絺那法。阿那律陀!你應當多次為眾比丘講解迦絺那法。'
English version: 'Venerable ones! If anyone has doubts about my having attained the knowledge of past lives, they should ask me, and I will answer them. Venerable ones! If anyone has doubts about my having attained the knowledge of the cycle of birth and death, they should ask me, and I will answer them. Venerable ones! If anyone has doubts about my having attained the knowledge of the extinction of defilements, they should ask me, and I will answer them.' Then, Venerable Ananda said: 'Venerable Anuruddha! Now, eight hundred monks are gathered at the Salalara Rock Mountain, and the World-Honored One is among them, making robes for Venerable Anuruddha. If anyone has doubts about Venerable Anuruddha's attainment of the psychic power of the magical foot, they should ask him, and Venerable Anuruddha will answer. If anyone has doubts about Venerable Anuruddha's attainment of the psychic power of the divine ear, they should ask him, and Venerable Anuruddha will answer. If anyone has doubts about Venerable Anuruddha's attainment of the psychic power of knowing others' minds, they should ask him, and Venerable Anuruddha will answer. If anyone has doubts about Venerable Anuruddha's attainment of the knowledge of past lives, they should ask him, and Venerable Anuruddha will answer. If anyone has doubts about Venerable Anuruddha's attainment of the knowledge of the cycle of birth and death, they should ask him, and Venerable Anuruddha will answer. If anyone has doubts about Venerable Anuruddha's attainment of the knowledge of the extinction of defilements, they should ask him, and Venerable Anuruddha will answer. But we have long understood Venerable Anuruddha's mind, and we know that Venerable Anuruddha possesses great magical power of the magical foot, great majesty, great blessings, and great spiritual power.' Then, the World-Honored One's illness had subsided and he felt at ease. He immediately arose and sat cross-legged. After the World-Honored One sat down, he praised Venerable Anuruddha, saying: 'Well done! Well done! Anuruddha! You have done very well. Anuruddha! You should explain the Kathina Dharma to the monks. Anuruddha! You should explain the Kathina Dharma to the monks again. Anuruddha! You should explain the Kathina Dharma to the monks repeatedly.'
於是,世尊告諸比丘:「比丘!汝等受迦絺那法,誦習迦絺那法,善持迦絺那法。所以者何?迦絺那法與法相應,為梵行本,致通致覺,亦致涅槃。若族姓子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,應當至心受迦絺那法,善受善持迦絺那法。所以者何?我不見過去時諸比丘作如是衣,如阿那律陀比丘;不見未來、現在諸比丘作如是衣,如阿那律陀比丘。所以者何?謂今娑羅邏巖山集坐八百比丘及世尊在中,為阿那律陀比丘作衣,如是阿那律陀比丘,有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神。」

(八一)中阿含長壽王品念身經第十(第二小土城誦)
一時,佛游鴦祇國中,與大比丘眾俱,往詣阿和那揵尼住處。
爾時,世尊過夜平旦,著衣持缽,入阿和那而行乞食
於是,世尊告訴眾比丘:『比丘們!你們應當接受迦絺那法,學習迦絺那法,好好地奉持迦絺那法。為什麼呢?因為迦絺那法與佛法相應,是清凈修行的根本,能使人通達真理,覺悟真諦,最終達到涅槃。如果一個家族的子弟剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信心捨棄家庭,出家修行,就應當全心全意地接受迦絺那法,好好地接受並奉持迦絺那法。為什麼呢?因為我沒有見到過去有任何比丘能像阿那律陀比丘那樣製作衣服;我也沒有見到未來或現在有任何比丘能像阿那律陀比丘那樣製作衣服。為什麼呢?因為今天在娑羅邏巖山聚集了八百位比丘,世尊也在其中,為阿那律陀比丘製作衣服。像阿那律陀比丘這樣,具有強大的神通,具有崇高的威德,具有巨大的福報,具有不可思議的神力。』 佛陀如是說。尊者阿那律陀和眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 《迦絺那經》第九完(三千七百八十字) 《中阿含經》卷第十九(一萬四百六十九字)(第二小土城誦) 《中阿含經》卷第二十 (八一)《中阿含長壽王品念身經》第十(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在鴦祇國游化,與眾多比丘一同前往阿和那揵尼的住處。 那時,世尊過夜后,在清晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入阿和那城乞食。
Then, the World-Honored One said to the monks: 'Monks! You should accept the Kathina Dharma, learn the Kathina Dharma, and uphold the Kathina Dharma well. Why is that? Because the Kathina Dharma is in accordance with the Dharma, it is the foundation of pure practice, it leads to understanding, to enlightenment, and ultimately to Nirvana. If a son of a family shaves his beard and hair, puts on the monastic robe, with firm faith abandons his home, leaves home, and practices the Way, he should wholeheartedly accept the Kathina Dharma, accept it well, and uphold it well. Why is that? Because I have not seen any monks in the past who could make clothes like the monk Anuruddha; I have not seen any monks in the future or present who could make clothes like the monk Anuruddha. Why is that? Because today, eight hundred monks are gathered on Mount Salalara, and the World-Honored One is among them, making clothes for the monk Anuruddha. Like the monk Anuruddha, he has great supernatural powers, great virtue, great blessings, and great divine power.' The Buddha spoke thus. The Venerable Anuruddha and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. The ninth chapter of the Kathina Sutra is complete (3,780 words). The nineteenth scroll of the Madhyama Agama Sutra (10,469 words) (Second Small Earth City Recitation). The twentieth scroll of the Madhyama Agama Sutra. (81) The tenth chapter of the Madhyama Agama Sutra, 'The Mindfulness of the Body Sutra' from the 'Longevity King' section (Second Small Earth City Recitation). At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Anga, and together with a large assembly of monks, went to the residence of Avana Khandani. Then, after the World-Honored One had spent the night, in the early morning, he put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered the city of Avana to beg for food.
。食訖,中后收舉衣缽,澡洗手足,以尼師檀著于肩上,往詣一林,入彼林中,至一樹下,敷尼師檀,結跏趺坐。
爾時,眾多比丘于中食后,集坐講堂,共論此事。「諸賢!世尊甚奇!甚特!修習念身,分別廣佈,極知極觀,極修習,極護治,善具善行,在一心中,佛說念身有大果報,得眼、有目見第一義。」
爾時,世尊在於宴坐,以凈天耳出過於人,聞諸比丘于中食后,集坐講堂,共論此事。「諸賢!世尊甚奇!甚特!修習念身,分別廣佈,極知極觀,極修習,極護治,善具善行,在一心中,佛說念身有大果報,得眼、有目見第一義。」世尊聞已,則于晡時從宴坐起,往詣講堂比丘眾前,敷座而坐。
爾時世尊告諸比丘:「汝等向共論何事耶?以何事故集坐講堂?」
時,諸比丘白曰:「世尊!我等諸比丘于中食后,集坐講堂,共論此事。諸賢!世尊甚奇!甚特!修習念身,分別廣佈,極知極觀,極修習,極護治,善具善行,在一心中,佛說念身有大果報,得眼、有目見第一義。世尊!我等向共論如此事,以此事故,集坐講堂
吃完飯後,收拾好衣缽,洗凈手腳,把尼師檀搭在肩上,前往一片樹林,進入林中,到一棵樹下,鋪開尼師檀,結跏趺坐。 當時,許多比丘在午飯後,聚集在講堂,一起討論這件事。「各位賢者!世尊真是太神奇了!太特別了!修習身念,分別廣泛地傳播,極其瞭解、極其觀察,極其修習、極其守護治理,善於具備、善於實行,一心專注,佛說修習身念有很大的果報,能獲得智慧之眼,親眼見到第一義諦。」 這時,世尊正在禪坐,用清凈的天耳,超越常人,聽到了比丘們在午飯後,聚集在講堂,一起討論這件事。「各位賢者!世尊真是太神奇了!太特別了!修習身念,分別廣泛地傳播,極其瞭解、極其觀察,極其修習、極其守護治理,善於具備、善於實行,一心專注,佛說修習身念有很大的果報,能獲得智慧之眼,親眼見到第一義諦。」世尊聽后,在傍晚時分從禪坐中起身,前往講堂比丘們面前,鋪好座位坐下。 這時,世尊告訴比丘們:「你們剛才在討論什麼事?因為什麼事聚集在講堂?」 當時,比丘們回答說:「世尊!我們這些比丘在午飯後,聚集在講堂,一起討論這件事。各位賢者!世尊真是太神奇了!太特別了!修習身念,分別廣泛地傳播,極其瞭解、極其觀察,極其修習、極其守護治理,善於具備、善於實行,一心專注,佛說修習身念有很大的果報,能獲得智慧之眼,親眼見到第一義諦。世尊!我們剛才就是討論這樣的事,因為這件事,才聚集在講堂。」
Having finished eating, they gathered their robes and bowls, washed their hands and feet, placed the nisidana on their shoulder, and went to a forest. Entering the forest, they arrived at a tree, spread out the nisidana, and sat in the lotus position. At that time, many monks, after their midday meal, gathered in the lecture hall and discussed this matter together. 'Friends! The World-Honored One is truly amazing! Truly extraordinary! He cultivates mindfulness of the body, disseminates it widely, understands it thoroughly, observes it keenly, cultivates it diligently, protects and governs it well, is skilled in possessing and practicing it, with a focused mind. The Buddha says that mindfulness of the body has great rewards, attaining the eye of wisdom, and seeing the ultimate truth firsthand.' At that time, the World-Honored One was in meditation. With his pure heavenly ear, surpassing that of humans, he heard the monks, after their midday meal, gathering in the lecture hall and discussing this matter together. 'Friends! The World-Honored One is truly amazing! Truly extraordinary! He cultivates mindfulness of the body, disseminates it widely, understands it thoroughly, observes it keenly, cultivates it diligently, protects and governs it well, is skilled in possessing and practicing it, with a focused mind. The Buddha says that mindfulness of the body has great rewards, attaining the eye of wisdom, and seeing the ultimate truth firsthand.' Having heard this, the World-Honored One arose from his meditation in the late afternoon, went to the lecture hall before the assembly of monks, spread out his seat, and sat down. Then, the World-Honored One said to the monks, 'What were you discussing just now? Why have you gathered in the lecture hall?' At that time, the monks replied, 'World-Honored One! We monks, after our midday meal, gathered in the lecture hall and discussed this matter together. Friends! The World-Honored One is truly amazing! Truly extraordinary! He cultivates mindfulness of the body, disseminates it widely, understands it thoroughly, observes it keenly, cultivates it diligently, protects and governs it well, is skilled in possessing and practicing it, with a focused mind. The Buddha says that mindfulness of the body has great rewards, attaining the eye of wisdom, and seeing the ultimate truth firsthand. World-Honored One! We were just discussing this matter, and because of this matter, we gathered in the lecture hall.'
世尊復告諸比丘曰:「云何我說修習念身,分別廣佈,得大果報?」
時,諸比丘白世尊曰:「世尊為法本,世尊為法主,法由世尊,惟愿說之,我等聞已,得廣知義。」
佛便告曰:「汝等諦聽,善思念之,我當爲汝分別其義。」時,諸比丘受教而聽。
佛言:「云何比丘修習念身?比丘者,行則知行,住則知住,坐則知坐,臥則知臥,眠則知眠,寤則知寤,眠寤則知眠寤;如是比丘隨其身行,便知上如真。彼若如是在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤,斷心諸患而得定心,得定心已,則知上如真。是謂比丘修習念身。
「複次,比丘修習念身,比丘者正知出入,善觀分別,屈伸低仰,儀容庠序,善著僧伽梨及諸衣缽,行住坐臥、眠寤語默皆正知之;如是比丘隨其身行便知上如真。彼若如是在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤,斷心諸患而得定心,得定心已,則知上如真。是謂比丘修習念身。
「複次,比丘修習念身,比丘者生惡不善念,以善法念治斷滅止,猶木工師、木工弟子,彼持墨繩,用拼于木,則以利斧斫治令直。如是比丘生惡不善念,以善法念治斷滅止。如是比丘隨其身行,便知上如真。彼若如是在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤,斷心諸患而得定心,得定心已,則知上如真。是謂比丘修習念身。
「複次,比丘修習念身,比丘者齒齒相著,舌逼上腭,以心治心,治斷滅止。猶二力士捉一羸人,處處旋捉,自在打鍛,如是比丘齒齒相著,舌逼上腭,以心治心,治斷滅止。如是比丘隨其身行,便知上如真。彼若如是在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤,斷心諸患而得定心,得定心已,則知上如真。是謂比丘修習念身。
「複次,比丘修習念身,比丘者念入息即知念入息,念出息即知念出息,入息長即知入息長,出息長即知出息長,入息短即知入息短,出息短即知出息短。學一切身息入,學一切身息出,學止身行息入,學止口行息出。如是比丘隨其身行,便知上如真。彼若如是在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤,斷心諸患而得定心,得定心已,則知上如真。是謂比丘修習念身。
「複次,比丘修習念身,比丘者,離生喜樂,漬身潤澤,普遍充滿於此身中,離生喜樂無處不遍。猶工浴人器盛澡豆,水和成摶,水漬潤澤,普遍充滿無處不周。如是比丘離生喜樂,漬身潤澤,普遍充滿於此身中,離生喜樂無處不遍。如是比丘隨其身行,便知上如真。彼若如是在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤,斷心諸患而得定心,得定心已,則知上如真,是謂比丘修習念身。

佛陀再次告訴眾比丘們說:「我所說的修習念身,如何才能分別廣泛地傳播,並獲得巨大的果報呢?」
當時,眾比丘對佛陀說:「世尊是佛法的根本,世尊是佛法的主宰,佛法由世尊而來,我們希望您能為我們解說,我們聽了之後,就能廣泛地瞭解其中的含義。」
佛陀便告訴他們說:「你們仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們分別解釋其中的含義。」當時,眾比丘接受教誨,認真聽講。
佛陀說:「比丘如何修習念身呢?比丘在行走時知道自己在行走,站立時知道自己在站立,坐著時知道自己在坐著,躺臥時知道自己在躺臥,睡覺時知道自己在睡覺,醒來時知道自己在醒來,半睡半醒時知道自己在半睡半醒;像這樣,比丘隨著身體的行動,就能如實地瞭解實情。如果他能這樣在遠離喧囂的地方獨自居住,內心不放縱,精進修行,斷除心中的各種煩惱,從而獲得禪定,獲得禪定之後,就能如實地瞭解實情。這就是比丘修習念身的方法。
「其次,比丘修習念身,比丘要清楚地知道自己的呼吸,仔細觀察和分辨,屈身、伸展、低頭、抬頭,儀態安詳有序,穿好僧伽梨和各種衣缽,行走、站立、坐臥、睡眠、清醒、說話、沉默,都要清楚地知道;像這樣,比丘隨著身體的行動,就能如實地瞭解實情。如果他能這樣在遠離喧囂的地方獨自居住,內心不放縱,精進修行,斷除心中的各種煩惱,從而獲得禪定,獲得禪定之後,就能如實地瞭解實情。這就是比丘修習念身的方法。
「其次,比丘修習念身,比丘如果生起邪惡不善的念頭,就要用善良的念頭來制止、斷除和滅絕它,就像木匠師傅或木匠學徒,他們拿著墨線,在木頭上彈線,然後用鋒利的斧頭進行砍削,使木頭變得筆直。同樣,比丘如果生起邪惡不善的念頭,就要用善良的念頭來制止、斷除和滅絕它。像這樣,比丘隨著身體的行動,就能如實地瞭解實情。如果他能這樣在遠離喧囂的地方獨自居住,內心不放縱,精進修行,斷除心中的各種煩惱,從而獲得禪定,獲得禪定之後,就能如實地瞭解實情。這就是比丘修習念身的方法。
「其次,比丘修習念身,比丘要上下牙齒輕輕相合,舌頭抵住上顎,用內心來控制內心,制止、斷除和滅絕雜念。就像兩個強壯的人抓住一個虛弱的人,到處旋轉著抓住他,隨意地捶打他,同樣,比丘要上下牙齒輕輕相合,舌頭抵住上顎,用內心來控制內心,制止、斷除和滅絕雜念。像這樣,比丘隨著身體的行動,就能如實地瞭解實情。如果他能這樣在遠離喧囂的地方獨自居住,內心不放縱,精進修行,斷除心中的各種煩惱,從而獲得禪定,獲得禪定之後,就能如實地瞭解實情。這就是比丘修習念身的方法。

「其次,比丘修習念身,比丘要從遠離慾望而生起的喜悅和快樂,浸潤身體,使之滋潤,普遍充滿整個身體,這種遠離慾望而生起的喜悅和快樂無處不在。就像澡堂工人用容器盛著澡豆,用水調和成團,水浸潤著澡豆,普遍充滿,無處不周。同樣,比丘要從遠離慾望而生起的喜悅和快樂,浸潤身體,使之滋潤,普遍充滿整個身體,這種遠離慾望而生起的喜悅和快樂無處不在。像這樣,比丘隨著身體的行動,就能如實地瞭解實情。如果他能這樣在遠離喧囂的地方獨自居住,內心不放縱,精進修行,斷除心中的各種煩惱,從而獲得禪定,獲得禪定之後,就能如實地瞭解實情。這就是比丘修習念身的方法。
「其次,比丘修習念身,比丘要從禪定中生起的喜悅和快樂,浸潤身體,使之滋潤,普遍充滿整個身體,這種禪定中生起的喜悅和快樂無處不在。就像山泉,極其清澈,充滿盈溢,四面八方的水都無法流入,只有泉底的水自己涌出,盈溢流淌,浸潤山體,普遍充滿,無處不周。同樣,比丘要從禪定中生起的喜悅和快樂,浸潤身體,使之滋潤,普遍充滿整個身體,這種禪定中生起的喜悅和快樂無處不在。像這樣,比丘隨著身體的行動,就能如實地瞭解實情。如果他能這樣在遠離喧囂的地方獨自居住,內心不放縱,精進修行,斷除心中的各種煩惱,從而獲得禪定,獲得禪定之後,就能如實地瞭解實情。這就是比丘修習念身的方法。

The Blessed One further addressed the monks, saying, "How is it that I say the practice of mindfulness of the body, when cultivated and widely disseminated, yields great rewards?"
At that time, the monks said to the Blessed One, "The Blessed One is the root of the Dharma, the Blessed One is the master of the Dharma, and the Dharma comes from the Blessed One. We beseech you to explain it, so that we may hear and understand its meaning fully."
The Buddha then said, "Listen carefully, and contemplate well, and I will explain its meaning to you." At that time, the monks accepted the teaching and listened attentively.
The Buddha said, "How does a monk practice mindfulness of the body? When a monk walks, he knows he is walking; when standing, he knows he is standing; when sitting, he knows he is sitting; when lying down, he knows he is lying down; when sleeping, he knows he is sleeping; when waking, he knows he is waking; when half-asleep and half-awake, he knows he is half-asleep and half-awake. Thus, the monk knows truly his bodily actions as they are. If he dwells thus in seclusion, with an unwavering mind, practicing diligently, eliminating mental afflictions and attaining concentration, once concentrated, he knows things as they truly are. This is called a monk's practice of mindfulness of the body.
"Furthermore, in practicing mindfulness of the body, a monk is clearly aware of coming and going, observes and distinguishes carefully, bending and stretching, looking down and up, maintaining dignified deportment, wearing the monastic robe and carrying the bowl properly, and is fully aware of walking, standing, sitting, lying down, sleeping, waking, speaking, and remaining silent. Thus, the monk knows truly his bodily actions as they are. If he dwells thus in seclusion, with an unwavering mind, practicing diligently, eliminating mental afflictions and attaining concentration, once concentrated, he knows things as they truly are. This is called a monk's practice of mindfulness of the body.
"Furthermore, in practicing mindfulness of the body, when unwholesome thoughts arise, a monk counters them with wholesome thoughts to eliminate and cease them, just as a carpenter or carpenter's apprentice uses an ink line to mark wood and then uses a sharp axe to make it straight. Similarly, when unwholesome thoughts arise, a monk counters them with wholesome thoughts to eliminate and cease them. Thus, the monk knows truly his bodily actions as they are. If he dwells thus in seclusion, with an unwavering mind, practicing diligently, eliminating mental afflictions and attaining concentration, once concentrated, he knows things as they truly are. This is called a monk's practice of mindfulness of the body.
"Furthermore, in practicing mindfulness of the body, a monk sets his teeth together, presses his tongue against the roof of his mouth, and uses his mind to restrain his mind, to eliminate and cease unwholesome thoughts. Just as two strong men might seize a weaker man and turn him around and around, beating him at will, similarly, a monk sets his teeth together, presses his tongue against the roof of his mouth, and uses his mind to restrain his mind, to eliminate and cease unwholesome thoughts. Thus, the monk knows truly his bodily actions as they are. If he dwells thus in seclusion, with an unwavering mind, practicing diligently, eliminating mental afflictions and attaining concentration, once concentrated, he knows things as they truly are. This is called a monk's practice of mindfulness of the body.
"Furthermore, in practicing mindfulness of the body, when a monk breathes in, he knows he is breathing in; when breathing out, he knows he is breathing out. When taking a long breath in, he knows he is taking a long breath in; when taking a long breath out, he knows he is taking a long breath out. When taking a short breath in, he knows he is taking a short breath in; when taking a short breath out, he knows he is taking a short breath out. He trains himself to breathe in experiencing the whole body, to breathe out experiencing the whole body, to breathe in calming the bodily formation, to breathe out calming the verbal formation. Thus, the monk knows truly his bodily actions as they are. If he dwells thus in seclusion, with an unwavering mind, practicing diligently, eliminating mental afflictions and attaining concentration, once concentrated, he knows things as they truly are. This is called a monk's practice of mindfulness of the body.
"Furthermore, in practicing mindfulness of the body, a monk experiences joy and pleasure born of seclusion, permeating and suffusing his body, so that there is no part of his body that is not filled with this joy and pleasure born of seclusion. Just as a skilled bath attendant fills a metal basin with bath powder and, gradually adding water, kneads it into a ball, so that the moisture permeates and suffuses it inside and out, leaving no part untouched, similarly, a monk experiences joy and pleasure born of seclusion, permeating and suffusing his body, so that there is no part of his body that is not filled with this joy and pleasure born of seclusion. Thus, the monk knows truly his bodily actions as they are. If he dwells thus in seclusion, with an unwavering mind, practicing diligently, eliminating mental afflictions and attaining concentration, once concentrated, he knows things as they truly are. This is called a monk's practice of mindfulness of the body.
"Furthermore, in practicing mindfulness of the body, a monk experiences joy and pleasure born of concentration, permeating and suffusing his body, so that there is no part of his body that is not filled with this joy and pleasure born of concentration. Just as a mountain spring, pure and clear, full and overflowing, with no way for water from the four directions to enter, the water wells up from within and flows outward, permeating and suffusing the mountain, leaving no part untouched, similarly, a monk experiences joy and pleasure born of concentration, permeating and suffusing his body, so that there is no part of his body that is not filled with this joy and pleasure born of concentration. Thus, the monk knows truly his bodily actions as they are. If he dwells thus in seclusion, with an unwavering mind, practicing diligently, eliminating mental afflictions and attaining concentration, once concentrated, he knows things as they truly are. This is called a monk's practice of mindfulness of the body.
"Furthermore, in practicing mindfulness of the body, a monk experiences pleasure without joy, permeating and suffusing his body, so that there is no part of his body that is not filled with this pleasure without joy. Just as blue, red, and white lotuses, born and growing in the water, staying immersed in the water, with their roots, stems, flowers, and leaves all permeated and suffused by cool water, leaving no part untouched, similarly, a monk experiences pleasure without joy, permeating and suffusing his body, so that there is no part of his body that is not filled with this pleasure without joy. Thus, the monk knows truly his bodily actions as they are. If he dwells thus in seclusion, with an unwavering mind, practicing diligently, eliminating mental afflictions and attaining concentration, once concentrated, he knows things as they truly are. This is called a monk's practice of mindfulness of the body."

「複次,比丘修習念身,比丘者觀身諸界,我此身中有地界、水界、火界、風界、空界、識界。猶如屠兒殺牛,剝皮佈於地上,分作六段。如是比丘觀身諸界,我此身中,地界、水界、火界、風界、空界、識界。如是比丘隨其身行,便知上如真。彼若如是在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤,斷心諸患而得定心,得定心已,則知上如真。是謂比丘修習念身。

"Furthermore, in practicing mindfulness of the body, a monk pervades and suffuses this body with a pure and liberated mind, so that no part remains untouched by this pure mind. Just as a person might be covered from head to foot with a cloth seven or eight cubits long, leaving no part of the body uncovered. Similarly, the monk pervades and suffuses this body with a pure and liberated mind, so that no part remains untouched by this pure mind. Thus, the monk knows truly his bodily actions as they are. If he dwells thus in seclusion, with an unwavering mind, practicing diligently, eliminating mental afflictions and attaining concentration, once concentrated, he knows things as they truly are. This is called a monk's practice of mindfulness of the body.
"Furthermore, in practicing mindfulness of the body, a monk cultivates the perception of light, well-received and well-maintained, well-established in mind, maintaining consistency whether looking forward or backward, by day or by night, upward or downward. With an unconflicted mind free from entanglements, he develops a luminous mind that is never overcome by darkness. Thus, the monk knows truly his bodily actions as they are. If he dwells thus in seclusion, with an unwavering mind, practicing diligently, eliminating mental afflictions and attaining concentration, once concentrated, he knows things as they truly are. This is called a monk's practice of mindfulness of the body.
"Furthermore, in practicing mindfulness of the body, a monk observes and reviews signs well, maintains them well, and reflects on them well. Just as one might observe a person sitting while lying down, or observe a person lying down while sitting. Similarly, the monk observes and reviews signs well, maintains them well, and reflects on them well. Thus, the monk knows truly his bodily actions as they are.

"Furthermore, in practicing mindfulness of the body, a monk examines this body from head to foot, seeing it as full of various impurities, namely: hair of the head, body hair, nails, teeth, skin both rough and smooth, flesh, sinews, bones, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, large intestines, small intestines, spleen, stomach, excrement, brain and its derivatives, tears, sweat, mucus, saliva, pus, blood, fat, marrow, phlegm, bile, and urine. Just as if there were a bag full of various types of grain, and a person with good eyesight were to examine it, seeing clearly the rice, millet, barley, wheat, large and small beans, and mustard seeds. Similarly, the monk examines this body from head to foot, seeing it as full of various impurities [repeats the list]. Thus, the monk knows truly his bodily actions as they are.

"Furthermore, in practicing mindfulness of the body, a monk contemplates the elements in this body: 'In this body there are the earth element, water element, fire element, wind element, space element, and consciousness element.'

『Furthermore, a bhikkhu, practicing mindfulness of the body, observes a corpse, one or two days old, up to six or seven days old, pecked at by crows, devoured by jackals, burned by fire, or buried in the ground, completely decayed and ruined. Having seen this, he compares it to himself, 『This body of mine is also like this, subject to the same law, and ultimately cannot escape it.』 Thus, as the bhikkhu observes his body, he comes to know the truth as it is. If he dwells in solitude, away from distractions, with a mind free from negligence, diligently practicing, cutting off the afflictions of the mind and attaining concentration, then having attained concentration, he knows the truth as it is. This is how a bhikkhu practices mindfulness of the body.』 『Furthermore, a bhikkhu, practicing mindfulness of the body, observes abandoned bones, bluish in color, half-decayed, scattered on the ground. Having seen this, he compares it to himself, 『This body of mine is also like this, subject to the same law, and ultimately cannot escape it.』 Thus, as the bhikkhu observes his body, he comes to know the truth as it is. If he dwells in solitude, away from distractions, with a mind free from negligence, diligently practicing, cutting off the afflictions of the mind and attaining concentration, then having attained concentration, he knows the truth as it is. This is how a bhikkhu practices mindfulness of the body.』 『Furthermore, a bhikkhu, practicing mindfulness of the body, observes an abandoned corpse, where the skin, flesh, and blood have separated, with only the tendons remaining. Having seen this, he compares it to himself, 『This body of mine is also like this, subject to the same law, and ultimately cannot escape it.』 Thus, as the bhikkhu observes his body, he comes to know the truth as it is. If he dwells in solitude, away from distractions, with a mind free from negligence, diligently practicing, cutting off the afflictions of the mind and attaining concentration, then having attained concentration, he knows the truth as it is. This is how a bhikkhu practices mindfulness of the body.』 『Furthermore, a bhikkhu, practicing mindfulness of the body, observes an abandoned corpse, where the bones have come apart, scattered in various directions: foot bones, arm bones, thigh bones, hip bones, spine bones, shoulder bones, neck bones, and skull bones, each in a different place. Having seen this, he compares it to himself, 『This body of mine is also like this, subject to the same law, and ultimately cannot escape it.』 Thus, as the bhikkhu observes his body, he comes to know the truth as it is.』
。彼若如是在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤,斷心諸患而得定心,得定心已,則知上如真。是謂比丘修習念身。
「複次,比丘修習念身,比丘者如本見息道骨白如螺,青猶鴿色,赤若血涂,腐壞碎末,見已自比,今我此身亦復如是,俱有此法,終不得離。如是比丘隨其身行,便知上如真。彼若如是在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤,斷心諸患而得定心,得定心已,則知上如真。是謂比丘修習念身。
「若有如是修習念身、如是廣佈者,彼諸善法盡在其中,謂道品法也。若彼有心意解遍滿,猶如大海,彼諸小河盡在海中。若有如是修習念身、如是廣佈者,彼諸善法盡在其中,謂道品法也。
「若有沙門、梵志不正立念身、遊行少心者,彼為魔波旬伺求其便,必能得也。所以者何?彼沙門、梵志空無念身故,猶如有瓶,中空無水,正安著地,若人持水來瀉瓶中,于比丘意云何?彼瓶如是當受水不?」

現代漢語譯本:如果他像這樣遠離塵囂,獨自居住,內心不放縱,精進修行,斷除心中的各種煩惱而獲得禪定,獲得禪定后,就能如實地瞭解真諦。這就是比丘修習身唸的方法。 現代漢語譯本:再者,比丘修習身念,比丘像這樣觀察,看到遺骸的骨頭白如螺殼,青色如鴿子的顏色,紅色如血塗抹,腐爛破碎成末,看到后就與自身相比,『我現在這個身體也是這樣,都具有這種規律,最終無法逃脫。』像這樣,比丘隨著身體的執行,就能如實地瞭解真諦。如果他像這樣遠離塵囂,獨自居住,內心不放縱,精進修行,斷除心中的各種煩惱而獲得禪定,獲得禪定后,就能如實地瞭解真諦。這就是比丘修習身唸的方法。 現代漢語譯本:如果有人像這樣修習身念,像這樣廣泛地實踐,那麼所有的善法都包含在其中,也就是道品之法。如果他的心意解脫遍滿,就像大海一樣,那麼所有的小河都匯入大海之中。如果有人像這樣修習身念,像這樣廣泛地實踐,那麼所有的善法都包含在其中,也就是道品之法。 現代漢語譯本:如果有沙門、婆羅門不能正確地建立身念,內心空虛,那麼他們就會被魔波旬伺機而動,必定會被魔所控制。為什麼呢?因為這些沙門、婆羅門內心沒有身唸的緣故。就像一個瓶子,裡面空無一物,正放在地上,如果有人拿水來倒入瓶中,你認為這個瓶子會接住水嗎?』 現代漢語譯本:比丘回答說:『會接住的,世尊!為什麼呢?因為它裡面空無一物,正放在地上,所以必定會接住。』 現代漢語譯本:『像這樣,如果有沙門、婆羅門不能正確地建立身念,內心空虛,那麼他們就會被魔波旬伺機而動,必定會被魔所控制。為什麼呢?因為這些沙門、婆羅門內心沒有身唸的緣故。如果有沙門、婆羅門正確地建立身念,內心充滿無限的慈悲,那麼他們就不會被魔波旬伺機而動,最終不會被魔所控制。』
English version: If he thus dwells in seclusion, without negligence, diligently practicing, having cut off the afflictions of the mind and attained concentration, having attained concentration, then he knows the truth as it is. This is called a bhikkhu practicing mindfulness of the body. English version: Furthermore, a bhikkhu practices mindfulness of the body. The bhikkhu, as before, sees the bones of a corpse as white as a conch shell, blue like the color of a dove, red as if smeared with blood, decayed and broken into fragments. Having seen this, he compares it to himself, 'My body is also like this, subject to this law, and will not ultimately escape it.' Thus, as the bhikkhu follows the course of the body, he knows the truth as it is. If he thus dwells in seclusion, without negligence, diligently practicing, having cut off the afflictions of the mind and attained concentration, having attained concentration, then he knows the truth as it is. This is called a bhikkhu practicing mindfulness of the body. English version: If one practices mindfulness of the body in this way, and spreads it widely, then all good qualities are contained within it, namely the factors of enlightenment. If his mind is filled with understanding, like the ocean, then all the small rivers flow into the ocean. If one practices mindfulness of the body in this way, and spreads it widely, then all good qualities are contained within it, namely the factors of enlightenment. English version: If there are ascetics or brahmins who do not correctly establish mindfulness of the body and have little mind, then they are sought out by Mara, the Evil One, who will surely gain control over them. Why is that? Because those ascetics and brahmins are empty of mindfulness of the body. It is like a jar, empty and without water, placed upright on the ground. If someone brings water to pour into the jar, what do you think, bhikkhus? Will the jar receive the water?' English version: The bhikkhus replied, 'It will receive it, Venerable Sir! Why is that? Because it is empty and without water, placed upright on the ground, therefore it will surely receive it.' English version: 'Likewise, if there are ascetics or brahmins who do not correctly establish mindfulness of the body and have little mind, then they are sought out by Mara, the Evil One, who will surely gain control over them. Why is that? Because those ascetics and brahmins are empty of mindfulness of the body. If there are ascetics or brahmins who correctly establish mindfulness of the body and have immeasurable mind, then they will not be sought out by Mara, the Evil One, and will ultimately not be controlled by him.'
。所以者何?彼沙門、梵志不空有念身故,猶如有瓶,水滿其中,正安著地,若人持水來瀉瓶中,于比丘意云何?彼瓶如是復受水不?」

現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?那些沙門、婆羅門因為心中不空有正念于身,就像一個瓶子,裡面裝滿了水,穩穩地放在地上,如果有人拿水來倒進瓶子里,你認為會怎麼樣?那個瓶子還能再裝進水嗎? 比丘回答說:『不能了,世尊。』這是什麼原因呢?因為那個瓶子已經裝滿了水,穩穩地放在地上,所以不能再裝了。 『同樣,如果沙門、婆羅門能夠正確地保持正念于身,並且擁有無量的心,那麼魔王波旬就無法找到機會來擾亂他們。這是什麼原因呢?因為這些沙門、婆羅門心中不空有正念于身。如果沙門、婆羅門不能正確地保持正念于身,並且只有少許的心,那麼魔王波旬就一定能找到機會來擾亂他們。這是什麼原因呢?因為這些沙門、婆羅門心中空無正念于身。就像一個力士,把一塊很重的石頭扔進泥沼里,你認為會怎麼樣?泥沼會接納那塊石頭嗎?』 比丘回答說:『會接納的,世尊。』這是什麼原因呢?因為泥沼鬆軟,石頭很重,所以一定會接納。 『同樣,如果沙門、婆羅門不能正確地保持正念于身,並且只有少許的心,那麼魔王波旬就一定能找到機會來擾亂他們。這是什麼原因呢?因為這些沙門、婆羅門心中空無正念于身。如果沙門、婆羅門能夠正確地保持正念于身,並且擁有無量的心,那麼魔王波旬就無法找到機會來擾亂他們。這是什麼原因呢?因為這些沙門、婆羅門心中不空有正念于身。就像一個力士,把一個輕飄飄的毛球扔到平整的門扇上,你認為會怎麼樣?門扇會接納那個毛球嗎?』 比丘回答說:『不會的,世尊。』這是什麼原因呢?因為毛球很輕,門扇平整,所以不會接納。 『同樣,如果沙門、婆羅門能夠正確地保持正念于身,並且擁有無量的心,那麼魔王波旬就無法找到機會來擾亂他們。
English version: What is the reason for this? Those ascetics and Brahmins who do not have an empty mind but have mindfulness of the body, are like a jar full of water, placed firmly on the ground. If someone brings water to pour into the jar, what do you think? Would the jar be able to hold more water? The monk replied, 'No, Venerable Sir. What is the reason for this? Because the jar is full of water and placed firmly on the ground, it cannot hold any more.' 'Similarly, if ascetics and Brahmins maintain proper mindfulness of the body and have immeasurable minds, then Mara, the Evil One, will not be able to find an opportunity to disturb them.

If ascetics and Brahmins do not maintain proper mindfulness of the body and have little mind, then Mara, the Evil One, will surely find an opportunity to disturb them. What is the reason for this?

English version: Why is that? Because those ascetics and Brahmins do not truly have mindfulness of the body. If some ascetics and Brahmins do not correctly establish mindfulness of the body and have weak minds, they will be sought out by Mara, the Evil One, and he will surely succeed. Why is that? Because those ascetics and Brahmins do not truly have mindfulness of the body. It is like a person seeking fire, using dry wood as the base and drilling with a dry drill. What do you think, bhikkhus? Will that person obtain fire? The bhikkhus replied, 'Yes, Venerable Sir! Why is that? Because he drills dry wood with a dry drill, therefore he will surely obtain it.'

When the body encounters various illnesses, is extremely painful, even to the point of death, all unpleasant things can be endured. One who cultivates mindfulness of the body in this way, and spreads it widely in this way, this is the first virtue.'

(八二)中阿含長壽王品支離彌梨經第十一(第二小土城誦)
爾時,眾多比丘于中食后少有所為,集坐講堂,欲斷諍事,謂論此法、律,此佛之教。彼時,質多羅象子比丘亦在眾中。於是,質多羅象子比丘,眾多比丘論此法、律,此佛教時,于其中間競有所說,不待諸比丘說法訖竟,又不以恭敬、不以善觀問諸上尊長老比丘。
是時,尊者大拘絺羅在彼眾中。於是,尊者大拘絺羅告質多羅象子比丘曰:「賢者!當知眾多比丘說此法、律,此佛教時,汝莫于中競有所說,若諸比丘所說訖已,然後可說

'Furthermore, a bhikkhu, with the attainment of psychic power, the divine ear, the knowledge of others' minds, the knowledge of past lives, and the knowledge of the passing away and rebirth of beings, has exhausted the taints, attained taintless liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom, and in this very life, having realized it by himself with direct knowledge, dwells in it, having ended birth, completed the holy life, done what was to be done, and knowing that there is no more coming to any state of being. Such is the cultivation of mindfulness of the body, such is its wide dissemination, this is called the eighteenth virtue. Such is the cultivation of mindfulness of the body, such is its wide dissemination, it should be known that there are these eighteen virtues.' The tenth discourse, 'Mindfulness of the Body,' ends (4225 words). Among the eighteen virtues, the sixth, seventh, eighth, and thirteenth to seventeenth should be included within the fifth and eighteenth virtues. The Southern version concludes them in the fourth and twelfth virtues, the reasoning of which is still difficult to understand. (82) The eleventh discourse, 'Jivaka-Malli Sutta' from the 'Long-lived King' section of the 'Madhyama Agama' (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Rajagaha, in the Bamboo Grove, the Kalandaka Nivasa. At that time, many bhikkhus, after their midday meal, having rested a little, gathered in the lecture hall, wishing to settle disputes, discussing the Dharma and the Vinaya, that is, the Buddha's teachings. At that time, the bhikkhu Citra-Hatthi was also in the assembly. Then, while many bhikkhus were discussing the Dharma and the Vinaya, that is, the Buddha's teachings, the bhikkhu Citra-Hatthi interrupted them, speaking before the other bhikkhus had finished, and without respect or careful consideration, questioning the senior elder bhikkhus. At that time, the venerable Mahakotthita was also in the assembly. Then, the venerable Mahakotthita said to the bhikkhu Citra-Hatthi: 'Venerable one! You should know that when many bhikkhus are discussing the Dharma and the Vinaya, that is, the Buddha's teachings, you should not interrupt them. If the other bhikkhus have finished speaking, then you may speak.'
。汝當以恭敬,當以善觀問諸上尊長老比丘,莫不恭敬,莫不善觀問諸上尊長老比丘。」
爾時,質多羅象子比丘諸親朋友悉在眾中。於是,質多羅象子比丘諸親朋友語尊者大拘絺羅曰:「賢者大拘絺羅!汝莫大責數質多羅象子比丘。所以者何?質多羅象子比丘戒德多聞,似如懈怠,然不貢高。賢者大拘絺羅!質多羅象子比丘,諸比丘隨所為時而能佐助。」
於是,尊者大拘絺羅語質多羅象子比丘諸親朋友曰:「諸賢!不知他心者,不得妄說稱不稱。所以者何?或有一人在世尊前時,及諸上尊長老梵行可慚可愧、可愛可敬前,彼便善守善護;若於后時離世尊前,及離諸上尊長老梵行可慚可愧、可愛可敬前,彼便數與白衣共會,調笑貢高,種種談嘩;彼數與白衣共會,調笑貢高,種種談嘩已,心便生欲。彼心生欲已,便身熱心熱。彼身心熱已,便舍戒罷道。諸賢!猶若如牛,入他田中,守田人捉,或以繩系,或著欄中。諸賢!若有作是說,此牛不復入他田中,如是彼為正說耶?」
答曰:「不也。所以者何?謂彼牛者,為繩所繫,或斷或解,為欄所遮,或破或跳出,復入他田,如前無異
現代漢語譯本:'你們應當以恭敬的態度,以善意的觀察去問候那些年長的、受尊敬的比丘,要做到無不恭敬,無不善意地觀察問候那些年長的、受尊敬的比丘。' 當時,質多羅象子比丘的親朋好友都在人群中。於是,質多羅象子比丘的親朋好友對尊者大拘絺羅說:『賢者大拘絺羅!你不要過分責備質多羅象子比丘。為什麼呢?質多羅象子比丘戒律嚴明,博學多聞,表面上看起來好像懈怠,但實際上並不傲慢。賢者大拘絺羅!質多羅象子比丘,在其他比丘需要幫助的時候,他都能盡力協助。』 於是,尊者大拘絺羅對質多羅象子比丘的親朋好友說:『各位賢者!不瞭解他人內心的人,不應該妄加評論說他好或不好。為什麼呢?有的人在世尊面前,以及在那些年長的、受尊敬的、值得慚愧和敬畏的修行者面前,會表現得很好,謹慎守護自己的行為;但當他離開世尊面前,以及離開那些年長的、受尊敬的、值得慚愧和敬畏的修行者之後,他就會經常和在家俗人聚會,嬉笑打鬧,傲慢自大,高談闊論;他經常和在家俗人聚會,嬉笑打鬧,傲慢自大,高談闊論之後,心中就會生起慾望。他心中生起慾望之後,就會身心煩熱。他身心煩熱之後,就會捨棄戒律,放棄修行。各位賢者!這就好像一頭牛,進入別人的田地,看守田地的人抓住它,或者用繩子拴住,或者關在柵欄里。各位賢者!如果有人說,這頭牛不會再進入別人的田地了,那麼他說的是對的嗎?』 他們回答說:『不對。為什麼呢?因為那頭牛,被繩子拴住,可能會掙斷或解開,被柵欄擋住,可能會破壞或跳出去,又會像之前一樣進入別人的田地。』
English version: 'You should respectfully and with careful observation inquire of the elder and venerable monks, without fail showing respect and careful observation when inquiring of the elder and venerable monks.' At that time, the friends and relatives of the monk Citraka the Elephant Son were all in the assembly. Then, the friends and relatives of the monk Citraka the Elephant Son said to the venerable Mahākauṣṭhila: 'Venerable Mahākauṣṭhila! You should not overly criticize the monk Citraka the Elephant Son. Why is that? The monk Citraka the Elephant Son is disciplined, learned, and though he may appear to be lax, he is not arrogant. Venerable Mahākauṣṭhila! The monk Citraka the Elephant Son is able to assist other monks whenever they need help.' Then, the venerable Mahākauṣṭhila said to the friends and relatives of the monk Citraka the Elephant Son: 'Friends! Those who do not know the minds of others should not rashly judge whether they are good or bad. Why is that? There are some who, in the presence of the World Honored One, and in the presence of the elder, venerable, and worthy of shame and respect practitioners, behave well and carefully guard their actions; but when they leave the presence of the World Honored One, and leave the presence of the elder, venerable, and worthy of shame and respect practitioners, they frequently associate with lay people, joking and laughing, being arrogant and boastful, and engaging in all sorts of idle talk; after frequently associating with lay people, joking and laughing, being arrogant and boastful, and engaging in all sorts of idle talk, desires arise in their minds. After desires arise in their minds, their bodies and minds become feverish. After their bodies and minds become feverish, they abandon the precepts and give up their practice. Friends! It is like a cow that enters another's field, and the field keeper catches it, either tying it with a rope or putting it in a fence. Friends! If someone were to say that this cow will not enter another's field again, would they be speaking correctly?' They replied: 'No. Why is that? Because that cow, though tied with a rope, may break or untie it, and though blocked by a fence, may break or jump over it, and will enter another's field again as before.'
「諸賢!或有一人在世尊前時,及諸上尊長老梵行可慚可愧、可愛可敬前,彼便善守善護;若於后時離世尊前,及離諸梵行可慚可愧、可愛可敬前,彼便數與白衣共會,調笑貢高,種種談嘩;彼數與白衣共會,調笑貢高,種種談嘩已,心便生欲。彼心生欲已,便身熱心熱。彼身心熱已,便舍戒罷道。諸賢!是謂有一人。

答曰:「不也。所以者何?彼湖池水,或象飲馬飲,駱駝、牛、驢、豬、鹿、水牛飲,或人取用,風吹日炙;彼若本時不見沙石、草木、甲蟲、魚鱉、蝦蟆及諸水性,去時來時,走時住時,后水減已,還見如故

'Venerable ones! There is a person who, when in the presence of the Blessed One, and in the presence of venerable elders and those practicing the holy life who are worthy of shame, respect, and affection, guards and protects himself well; but when he is away from the presence of the Blessed One, and away from the presence of those practicing the holy life who are worthy of shame, respect, and affection, he frequently associates with lay people, engages in jesting and boasting, and various kinds of idle talk; having frequently associated with lay people, engaged in jesting and boasting, and various kinds of idle talk, desire arises in his mind. Having desire arisen in his mind, he becomes heated in body and mind. Having become heated in body and mind, he abandons the precepts and gives up the path. Venerable ones! This is said to be one kind of person.' 'Furthermore, venerable ones! There is a person who attains the first jhana, and having attained the first jhana, he dwells in contentment, no longer seeking what has not been attained, desiring to attain it, what has not been realized, desiring to realize it. Later, he frequently associates with lay people, engages in jesting and boasting, and various kinds of idle talk; having frequently associated with lay people, engaged in jesting and boasting, and various kinds of idle talk, desire arises in his mind. Having desire arisen in his mind, he becomes heated in body and mind. Having become heated in body and mind, he abandons the precepts and gives up the path. Venerable ones! Just as during a heavy rain, the village ponds and lakes are filled with water, and the sand, stones, grass, trees, beetles, fish, turtles, frogs, and various aquatic creatures that were previously visible, going and coming, walking and standing, are no longer seen when the water is full. Venerable ones! If someone were to say that the sand, stones, grass, trees, beetles, fish, turtles, frogs, and various aquatic creatures, going and coming, walking and standing, will never again be seen in that pond or lake, would he be speaking correctly?' They replied, 'No, he would not. Why is that? Because the water in that pond or lake might be drunk by elephants, horses, camels, cows, donkeys, pigs, deer, or water buffalo, or it might be used by people, or it might be dried up by the wind and sun; if it was previously not possible to see the sand, stones, grass, trees, beetles, fish, turtles, frogs, and various aquatic creatures, going and coming, walking and standing, then when the water recedes, they will be seen again as before.'

English version: Once his body and mind are heated, he will abandon the precepts and give up the practice. Venerable ones! It is like a householder or a householder's son, having eaten delicious food and being fully satisfied, the desire to eat, which he originally had, will disappear. Venerable ones! If someone were to say that this householder or householder's son will never again desire to eat, would he be speaking correctly? The answer is: 'No, he would not.' Why is that? Because if that householder or householder's son becomes hungry after a night, he will again desire the food that he originally did not want. 'Likewise, venerable ones!

「如是。諸賢!得無想心定,得無想心定已,便自安住、不復更求未得欲得、不獲欲獲、不作證欲作證。彼於後時,便數與白衣共會,調笑貢高,種種談嘩;彼數與白衣共會,調笑貢高,種種談嘩已,便心生欲。心生欲已,便身熱心熱。彼身心熱已,便舍戒罷道。諸賢!是謂有一人。」
爾時,質多羅象子比丘尋于其後舍戒罷道,質多羅象子比丘諸親朋友聞質多羅象子比丘舍戒罷道已,往詣尊者大拘絺羅所,到已,白曰:「尊者大拘絺羅!為知質多羅象子比丘心,為因餘事知。所以者何?今質多羅象子比丘已舍戒罷道。」
尊者大拘絺羅告彼親朋友曰:「諸賢!此事正應爾。所以者何?以不知如真,不見如真。所以者何?因不知如真,不見如真故。」
尊者大拘絺羅所說如是。彼諸比丘聞尊者大拘絺羅所說,歡喜奉行
現代漢語譯本:『諸位賢者!如果有人這樣說,』在那個無事的地方,最終不會再聽到支離彌梨蟲的聲音,』那麼他這樣說是正確的嗎?』 回答說:『不是的。為什麼呢?因為國王和大臣們過夜到天亮,各自返回住所,他們如果聽到象鳴聲、馬嘶聲、車輪聲、腳步聲、海螺聲、鼓聲、細腰鼓聲、歌舞聲、歌聲、瑟聲、飲食聲,就不會聽到支離彌梨蟲的聲音。他們離開后,又會像原來一樣聽到蟲聲。』 『是這樣的,諸位賢者!如果有人獲得無想心定,獲得無想心定后,就安住於此,不再追求未曾得到的、未曾獲得的、未曾證悟的。他在之後,便會頻繁地與在家人交往,嬉笑打鬧,高談闊論;他頻繁地與在家人交往,嬉笑打鬧,高談闊論后,心中便會生起慾望。心中生起慾望后,便會身心煩熱。他身心煩熱后,便會捨棄戒律,放棄修行。諸位賢者!這就是所謂的一個人。』 當時,質多羅象子比丘緊接著就捨棄戒律,放棄了修行。質多羅象子比丘的親朋好友聽說質多羅象子比丘捨棄戒律,放棄修行后,就去拜訪尊者大拘絺羅,到達后,說道:『尊者大拘絺羅!您是瞭解質多羅象子比丘的心,還是因為其他原因知道的?為什麼呢?因為現在質多羅象子比丘已經捨棄戒律,放棄修行了。』 尊者大拘絺羅告訴他的親朋好友說:『諸位賢者!這件事本來就應該這樣。為什麼呢?因為他沒有如實地知曉,沒有如實地看見。為什麼呢?因為他沒有如實地知曉,沒有如實地看見的緣故。』 尊者大拘絺羅所說的就是這樣。那些比丘聽了尊者大拘絺羅所說的話,歡喜地奉行。
English version: 『Venerable sirs, if someone were to say, 『In that place of no activity, one will ultimately no longer hear the sound of the jhillikā insects,』 would that be a correct statement?』 They replied, 『No, it would not. Why is that? Because the king and his ministers, having spent the night, return to their own places at dawn. If they hear the sounds of elephants, horses, chariots, footsteps, conches, drums, small drums, cymbals, dancing, singing, lutes, and eating, they do not hear the sound of the jhillikā insects. Once they have left, they hear it again as before.』 『It is like that, venerable sirs. If someone attains the cessation of perception and feeling, having attained the cessation of perception and feeling, they abide in that state, no longer seeking what has not been attained, what has not been gained, what has not been realized. Later, they frequently associate with lay people, engaging in jesting, boasting, and various kinds of idle talk. Having frequently associated with lay people, engaging in jesting, boasting, and various kinds of idle talk, desire arises in their mind. When desire arises in their mind, they become physically and mentally agitated. When they are physically and mentally agitated, they abandon the precepts and give up the practice. Venerable sirs, this is what is meant by 『a certain person.』』 At that time, the bhikkhu Cittarāga, the elephant trainer』s son, soon after abandoned the precepts and gave up the practice. When the friends and relatives of the bhikkhu Cittarāga, the elephant trainer』s son, heard that he had abandoned the precepts and given up the practice, they went to the venerable Mahākoṭṭhita and said, 『Venerable Mahākoṭṭhita, do you know the mind of the bhikkhu Cittarāga, the elephant trainer』s son, or do you know it for some other reason? Why is that? Because now the bhikkhu Cittarāga, the elephant trainer』s son, has abandoned the precepts and given up the practice.』 The venerable Mahākoṭṭhita said to his friends and relatives, 『Venerable sirs, this is exactly what should have happened. Why is that? Because he did not know things as they truly are, he did not see things as they truly are. Why is that? Because he did not know things as they truly are, he did not see things as they truly are.』 This is what the venerable Mahākoṭṭhita said. Those bhikkhus, having heard what the venerable Mahākoṭṭhita said, rejoiced and followed it.

(八三)中阿含長壽王品長老上尊睡眠經第十二(第二小土城誦)
一時,佛游婆耆瘦,在鼉山怖林鹿野園中。
爾時,尊者大目揵連游摩竭國,在善知識村中。於是,尊者大目揵連獨安靜處宴坐思惟而便睡眠。世尊遙知尊者大目揵連獨安靜處宴坐思惟而便睡眠。世尊知已,即入如其像定,以如其像定,猶若力士屈申臂頃,從婆耆瘦鼉山怖林鹿野園中忽沒不現,往摩竭國善知識村尊者大目揵連前。於是,世尊從定而寤,告曰:「大目揵連!汝著睡眠。大目揵連!汝著睡眠。」
尊者大目揵連白世尊曰:「唯然。世尊!」
佛復告曰:「大目揵連!如所相著睡眠,汝莫修彼相,亦莫廣佈,如是睡眠便可得滅。若汝睡眠故不滅者,大目揵連!當隨本所聞法,隨而受持廣佈誦習,如是睡眠便可得滅。若汝睡眠故不滅者,大目揵連!當隨本所聞法,隨而受持為他廣說,如是睡眠便可得滅。若汝睡眠故不滅者,大目揵連!當隨本所聞法,隨而受持、心念、心思,如是睡眠便可得滅。若汝睡眠故不滅者,大目揵連!當以兩手捫摸于耳,如是睡眠便可得滅
《支離彌梨經》第十一結束(二千四百四十七字) (八三)《中阿含經·長壽王品·長老上尊睡眠經》第十二(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在婆耆瘦游化,住在鼉山怖林鹿野園中。 當時,尊者大目犍連在摩竭國游化,住在善知識村中。於是,尊者大目犍連獨自在安靜的地方宴坐思惟,然後就睡著了。世尊遙知尊者大目犍連獨自在安靜的地方宴坐思惟,然後就睡著了。世尊知道后,立即進入如其像定,以如其像定,就像力士屈伸手臂的瞬間,從婆耆瘦鼉山怖林鹿野園中忽然消失不見,前往摩竭國善知識村尊者大目犍連面前。於是,世尊從定中醒來,告訴他說:『大目犍連!你睡著了。大目犍連!你睡著了。』 尊者大目犍連對世尊說:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀又告訴他說:『大目犍連!如果因為執著于睡眠,你不要修習那種執著,也不要廣佈它,這樣睡眠就可以消除。如果你的睡眠因此沒有消除,大目犍連!應當隨順你原本聽聞的佛法,隨之受持並廣佈誦習,這樣睡眠就可以消除。如果你的睡眠因此沒有消除,大目犍連!應當隨順你原本聽聞的佛法,隨之受持併爲他人廣說,這樣睡眠就可以消除。如果你的睡眠因此沒有消除,大目犍連!應當隨順你原本聽聞的佛法,隨之受持、心念、心思,這樣睡眠就可以消除。如果你的睡眠因此沒有消除,大目犍連!應當用兩手摩擦耳朵,這樣睡眠就可以消除。
The end of the eleventh chapter of the 'Zhili Mili Sutra' (2447 characters) (83) The twelfth chapter of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra, Longevity King Chapter, Elder Supreme Sleep Sutra' (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Bhaggasota, residing in the Deer Park of the Crocodile Mountain Fearful Forest. At that time, Venerable Mahamoggallana was traveling in Magadha, residing in the Village of Good Friends. Then, Venerable Mahamoggallana was sitting in quiet contemplation alone and fell asleep. The World Honored One, knowing from afar that Venerable Mahamoggallana was sitting in quiet contemplation alone and had fallen asleep, entered the Samadhi of Suchness. With this Samadhi of Suchness, as quickly as a strong man bends and stretches his arm, he vanished from the Deer Park of the Crocodile Mountain Fearful Forest in Bhaggasota and appeared before Venerable Mahamoggallana in the Village of Good Friends in Magadha. Then, the World Honored One awoke from Samadhi and said, 'Mahamoggallana! You are sleeping. Mahamoggallana! You are sleeping.' Venerable Mahamoggallana replied to the World Honored One, 'Yes, World Honored One!' The Buddha further said, 'Mahamoggallana! If you are attached to sleep, do not cultivate that attachment, nor spread it, and thus sleep can be eliminated. If your sleep is not eliminated by this, Mahamoggallana! You should follow the Dharma you have originally heard, uphold it, and widely recite it, and thus sleep can be eliminated. If your sleep is not eliminated by this, Mahamoggallana! You should follow the Dharma you have originally heard, uphold it, and widely explain it to others, and thus sleep can be eliminated. If your sleep is not eliminated by this, Mahamoggallana! You should follow the Dharma you have originally heard, uphold it, contemplate it, and think about it, and thus sleep can be eliminated. If your sleep is not eliminated by this, Mahamoggallana! You should rub your ears with both hands, and thus sleep can be eliminated.'
「若汝睡眠故不滅者,大目揵連!當以冷水澡洗面目及灑身體,如是睡眠便可得滅。若汝睡眠故不滅者,大目揵連!當從室出,外觀四方,瞻視星宿,如是睡眠便可得滅。若汝睡眠故不滅者,大目揵連!當從室出,而至屋頭,露地經行,守護諸根,心安在內,於後前想,如是睡眠便可得滅。若汝睡眠故不滅者,大目揵連!當舍經行道,至經行道頭,敷尼師檀,結跏趺坐,如是睡眠便可得滅。若汝睡眠故不滅者,大目揵連!當還入室,四疊優多羅僧以敷床上,襞僧伽梨作枕,右脅而臥,足足相累,心作明想,立正念正智,常欲起想。
「大目揵連!莫計床樂眠臥安快,莫貪財利,莫著名譽。所以者何?我說一切法不可與會,亦說與會。大目揵連!我說何法不可與會?大目揵連!若道俗法共合會者,我說此法不可與會。大目揵連!若道俗法共合會者,便多有所說,若多有所說者,則便有調,若有調者,便心不息。大目揵連!若心不息者,便心離定。大目揵連!是故我說不可與會。大目揵連!我說何法可與共會?大目揵連!彼無事處,我說此法可與共會,山林樹下空安靜處,高巖石室寂無音聲,遠離,無惡,無有人民,隨順宴坐。大目揵連!我說此法可與共會
『大目犍連!如果因為睡眠而無法消除睏意,就用冷水洗臉和身體,這樣睡眠就可以消除。如果因為睡眠而無法消除睏意,大目犍連!就從房間里出來,向四方觀看,觀察星宿,這樣睡眠就可以消除。如果因為睡眠而無法消除睏意,大目犍連!就從房間里出來,到屋頂上,在露天行走,守護好自己的感官,內心保持平靜,想著前後,這樣睡眠就可以消除。如果因為睡眠而無法消除睏意,大目犍連!就離開經行的地方,到經行道的盡頭,鋪上坐具,結跏趺坐,這樣睡眠就可以消除。如果因為睡眠而無法消除睏意,大目犍連!就回到房間,把四層僧衣鋪在床上,把僧伽梨疊起來當枕頭,右側臥躺,雙腳交疊,心中想著光明,保持正念和正知,常常想著要起來。 『大目犍連!不要貪圖床鋪的舒適和睡眠的安逸,不要貪圖錢財利益,不要追求名譽。為什麼呢?我說一切法不可與世俗混雜,也說可以與道法相合。大目犍連!我說什麼法不可與世俗混雜呢?大目犍連!如果道法和世俗法混雜在一起,我說這種法不可與世俗混雜。大目犍連!如果道法和世俗法混雜在一起,就會有很多話要說,如果有很多話要說,就會有爭論,如果有爭論,內心就無法平靜。大目犍連!如果內心無法平靜,內心就會失去禪定。大目犍連!所以我說不可與世俗混雜。大目犍連!我說什麼法可以與道法相合呢?大目犍連!那些無事的地方,我說這種法可以與道法相合,比如山林樹下空曠安靜的地方,高聳的巖石洞穴寂靜無聲,遠離喧囂,沒有邪惡,沒有人煙,適合靜坐的地方。大目犍連!我說這種法可以與道法相合。』
'Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If your sleep does not cease because of drowsiness, then wash your face and body with cold water, and thus your sleep will cease. If your sleep does not cease because of drowsiness, Mahāmaudgalyāyana! then go out of your room, look in all directions, and observe the stars, and thus your sleep will cease. If your sleep does not cease because of drowsiness, Mahāmaudgalyāyana! then go out of your room, go to the roof, walk in the open air, guard your senses, keep your mind at peace within, and think of what is before and behind, and thus your sleep will cease. If your sleep does not cease because of drowsiness, Mahāmaudgalyāyana! then leave the walking path, go to the end of the walking path, spread out your sitting cloth, sit in the lotus position, and thus your sleep will cease. If your sleep does not cease because of drowsiness, Mahāmaudgalyāyana! then return to your room, spread four layers of your outer robe on the bed, fold your sanghati robe to make a pillow, lie down on your right side, with your feet overlapping, think of light in your mind, establish right mindfulness and right knowledge, and always have the thought of getting up. 'Mahāmaudgalyāyana! Do not be attached to the pleasure of the bed and the comfort of sleep, do not be greedy for wealth and profit, and do not seek fame. Why is that? I say that all dharmas should not be mixed with worldly affairs, and I also say that they can be in harmony with the path. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! What dharma do I say should not be mixed with worldly affairs? Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If the dharma of the path and worldly dharmas are mixed together, I say that this dharma should not be mixed with worldly affairs. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If the dharma of the path and worldly dharmas are mixed together, there will be much to say, and if there is much to say, there will be disputes, and if there are disputes, the mind will not be at peace. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If the mind is not at peace, the mind will lose its concentration. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! Therefore, I say that it should not be mixed with worldly affairs. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! What dharma do I say can be in harmony with the path? Mahāmaudgalyāyana! Those places where there is nothing to do, I say that this dharma can be in harmony with the path, such as quiet places under the trees in the mountains and forests, high rocky caves that are silent, far from the noise, without evil, without people, suitable for meditation. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! I say that this dharma can be in harmony with the path.'
「大目揵連!汝若入村行乞食者,當以厭利,厭供養、恭敬,汝若於利、供養、恭敬心作厭已,便入村乞食。大目揵連!莫以高大意入村乞食。所以者何?諸長者家有如是事,比丘來乞食,令長者不作意,比丘便作是念:『誰壞我長者家?所以者何?我入長者家,長者不作意。』因是生憂,因憂生調,因調生心不息,因心不息,心便離定。大目揵連!汝說法時莫以諍說,若諍說者,便多有所說,因多說故,則便生調,因生調故,便心不息,因心不息故,便心離定。大目揵連!汝說法時莫強,說法如師子。大目揵連!汝說法時,下意說法,舍力、滅力、破壞於力,當以不強,說法如師子。大目揵連!當學如是。」
爾時,尊者大目揵連即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!云何比丘得至究竟,究竟白凈、究竟梵行、究竟梵行訖?」
世尊告曰:「大目揵連!比丘若覺樂、覺苦、覺不苦不樂者,彼此覺觀無常、觀興衰、觀斷、觀無慾、觀滅、觀舍。彼此覺觀無常、觀興衰、觀斷、觀無慾、觀滅、觀舍已,不受此世;因不受世已,便不疲勞;因不疲勞已,便般涅槃,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。大目揵連!如是比丘得至究竟,究竟白凈、究竟梵行、究竟梵行訖
『大目犍連!你如果進入村莊乞食,應當厭惡利益、厭惡供養、恭敬。你如果對於利益、供養、恭敬心生厭惡之後,再進入村莊乞食。大目犍連!不要以高傲的心態進入村莊乞食。為什麼呢?一些長者家中會有這樣的情況,比丘來乞食,使得長者不注意,比丘就會這樣想:『是誰破壞了我與長者家的關係?為什麼呢?我進入長者家,長者卻不理睬我。』因此產生憂愁,因為憂愁產生煩躁,因為煩躁產生心緒不寧,因為心緒不寧,心就離開了禪定。大目犍連!你說法的時候不要以爭辯的方式,如果爭辯,就會說很多,因為說很多,就會產生煩躁,因為產生煩躁,就會心緒不寧,因為心緒不寧,心就離開了禪定。大目犍連!你說法的時候不要強硬,說法要像獅子一樣。大目犍連!你說法的時候,要以謙卑的心態說法,捨棄力量、滅除力量、破壞力量,應當不強硬,說法要像獅子一樣。大目犍連!應當這樣學習。』 當時,尊者大目犍連即從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,雙手合十向佛,說道:『世尊!怎樣的比丘才能達到究竟,究竟清凈、究竟梵行、究竟梵行圓滿?』 世尊告訴他:『大目犍連!比丘如果感受到快樂、感受到痛苦、感受到不苦不樂,對於這些感受觀察無常、觀察興起和衰落、觀察斷滅、觀察無慾、觀察寂滅、觀察捨棄。對於這些感受觀察無常、觀察興起和衰落、觀察斷滅、觀察無慾、觀察寂滅、觀察捨棄之後,就不再執著于這個世界;因為不執著于這個世界,就不會感到疲勞;因為不感到疲勞,就會進入涅槃,生命已經終結,梵行已經建立,該做的已經完成,不再受輪迴,知道真相。大目犍連!這樣的比丘才能達到究竟,究竟清凈、究竟梵行、究竟梵行圓滿。』
'Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If you enter a village to beg for food, you should be averse to gain, averse to offerings, and averse to respect. If you have developed aversion to gain, offerings, and respect, then enter the village to beg for food. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! Do not enter a village to beg for food with a haughty mind. Why is that? In some elders' homes, it happens that when a monk comes to beg for food, the elder does not pay attention, and the monk thinks: 『Who has ruined my relationship with this elder's family? Why is it that when I enter the elder's home, the elder ignores me?』 Because of this, sorrow arises, because of sorrow, agitation arises, because of agitation, restlessness arises, and because of restlessness, the mind departs from concentration. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! When you teach the Dharma, do not teach with contention. If you teach with contention, you will speak much, and because of speaking much, agitation will arise, and because of agitation, restlessness will arise, and because of restlessness, the mind will depart from concentration. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! When you teach the Dharma, do not be forceful; teach the Dharma like a lion. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! When you teach the Dharma, teach with a humble mind, abandoning strength, extinguishing strength, destroying strength, and you should not be forceful; teach the Dharma like a lion. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! You should learn in this way.』 Then, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana rose from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, and with his hands together, facing the Buddha, said: 『Venerable One! How does a monk attain the ultimate, the ultimate purity, the ultimate holy life, the completion of the ultimate holy life?』 The Buddha said: 『Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If a monk feels pleasure, feels pain, or feels neither pleasure nor pain, he observes these feelings as impermanent, observes their arising and passing away, observes their cessation, observes their lack of desire, observes their extinction, and observes their relinquishment. Having observed these feelings as impermanent, observed their arising and passing away, observed their cessation, observed their lack of desire, observed their extinction, and observed their relinquishment, he no longer clings to this world; because he does not cling to this world, he does not become weary; because he does not become weary, he attains Nirvana, life is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, there is no more rebirth, and he knows the truth. Mahāmaudgalyāyana! Such a monk attains the ultimate, the ultimate purity, the ultimate holy life, the completion of the ultimate holy life.』
佛說如是。尊者大目揵連聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

一時,佛游鞞舍離,在獼猴江邊高樓臺觀。此諸名德、長老上尊、大弟子等,謂遮羅、優簸遮羅、賢善、賢患、無患、耶舍上稱,如是此諸名德、長老上尊、大弟子等,亦游鞞舍離獼猴江邊高樓臺觀,並皆近佛葉屋邊住。
諸鞞舍離麗掣聞世尊游鞞舍離獼猴江邊高樓臺觀,便作是念:「我等寧可作大如意足,作王威德,高聲唱傳,出鞞舍離,往詣佛所供養禮事。」
時,諸名德、長老上尊、大弟子等,聞諸鞞舍離麗掣作大如意足,作王威德,高聲唱傳,出鞞舍離,來詣佛所供養禮事,便作是念:「禪以聲為刺,世尊亦說禪以聲為刺,我等寧可往詣牛角娑羅林,在彼無亂,遠離獨住,閑居靜處,宴坐思惟。」於是,諸名德、長老上尊、大弟子等,往詣牛角娑羅林,在彼無亂,遠離獨住,閑居靜處,宴坐思惟
現代漢語譯本:佛陀是這樣說的。尊者大目犍連聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地遵照奉行。 《長老上尊睡眠經》第十二篇結束(共一千一百三十七字)。 《中阿含經》卷第二十(共七千八百零九字)(第二小土城誦)。 《中阿含經》卷第二十一 (八四)《中阿含長壽王品無刺經》第十三(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在毗舍離游化,住在獼猴江邊的高樓臺觀。當時,諸位有名望的、年長的、受尊敬的、大弟子們,如遮羅、優簸遮羅、賢善、賢患、無患、耶舍上稱等,這些有名望的、年長的、受尊敬的、大弟子們,也都在毗舍離獼猴江邊的高樓臺觀游化,並且都住在佛陀的葉屋附近。 毗舍離的麗掣們聽說世尊在毗舍離獼猴江邊的高樓臺觀,便這樣想:『我們不如施展大如意足,展現國王的威德,高聲宣揚,離開毗舍離,前往佛陀那裡供養禮拜。』 當時,諸位有名望的、年長的、受尊敬的、大弟子們,聽到毗舍離的麗掣們施展大如意足,展現國王的威德,高聲宣揚,離開毗舍離,前來佛陀這裡供養禮拜,便這樣想:『禪定以聲音為刺,世尊也說過禪定以聲音為刺,我們不如前往牛角娑羅林,在那裡沒有喧鬧,可以遠離獨處,安靜地居住,宴坐思惟。』於是,諸位有名望的、年長的、受尊敬的、大弟子們,前往牛角娑羅林,在那裡沒有喧鬧,可以遠離獨處,安靜地居住,宴坐思惟。
English version: Thus spoke the Buddha. The venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. The twelfth discourse of the 'Elderly Venerable's Sleep Sutra' concludes (1137 words). The twentieth scroll of the 'Madhyama Āgama Sutra' (7809 words) (Second Small Earth City Recitation). Taisho Tripitaka Volume 01, No. 0026, 'Madhyama Āgama Sutra' The twenty-first scroll of the 'Madhyama Āgama Sutra' (84) The thirteenth discourse of the 'Madhyama Āgama's Long-lived King Chapter: The Thornless Sutra' (Second Small Earth City Recitation). At one time, the Buddha was wandering in Vaishali, staying at the high pavilion by the Monkey River. At that time, the virtuous, elder, venerable, great disciples, such as Chara, Upachara, Virtuous Good, Virtuous Suffering, No Suffering, and Yashas the Renowned, these virtuous, elder, venerable, great disciples were also wandering in Vaishali at the high pavilion by the Monkey River, and they all stayed near the Buddha's leaf hut. The Licchavis of Vaishali, having heard that the World Honored One was wandering in Vaishali at the high pavilion by the Monkey River, thought to themselves: 'We should perform great miraculous feats, display the majesty of a king, proclaim loudly, leave Vaishali, and go to the Buddha to make offerings and pay respects.' At that time, the virtuous, elder, venerable, great disciples, having heard that the Licchavis of Vaishali were performing great miraculous feats, displaying the majesty of a king, proclaiming loudly, leaving Vaishali, and coming to the Buddha to make offerings and pay respects, thought to themselves: 'Meditation is pierced by sound, and the World Honored One has also said that meditation is pierced by sound. We should go to the Cow Horn Sal Grove, where there is no disturbance, and we can live in solitude, in quiet places, and sit in meditation and contemplation.' Therefore, the virtuous, elder, venerable, great disciples went to the Cow Horn Sal Grove, where there was no disturbance, and they could live in solitude, in quiet places, and sit in meditation and contemplation.
爾時,眾多鞞舍離麗掣作大如意足,作王威德,高聲唱傳,出鞞舍離,往詣佛所供養禮事。或有鞞舍離麗掣,稽首佛足,卻坐一面,或有與佛共相問訊,卻坐一面,或有叉手向佛,卻坐一面,或有遙見佛已,默然而坐。
彼時,眾多鞞舍離麗掣各坐已定,世尊為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,默然而住。於是,眾多鞞舍離麗掣,世尊為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,即從坐起,稽首佛足,繞三匝而去。
鞞舍離麗掣去後不久。於是,世尊問諸比丘:「諸長老上尊、大弟子等為至何許?」
諸比丘白曰:「世尊!諸長老上尊、大弟子等,聞諸鞞舍離麗掣作大如意足,作王威德,高聲唱傳,出鞞舍離,來詣佛所供養禮事,便作是念:『禪以聲為刺,世尊亦說禪以聲為刺。我等寧可往詣牛角娑羅林,在彼無亂,遠離獨住,閑居靜處,宴坐思惟。』世尊!諸長老上尊、大弟子等共往詣彼。」
於是,世尊聞已嘆曰:「善哉!善哉!若長老上尊、大弟子等應如是說:『禪以聲為刺,世尊亦說禪以聲為刺
當時,許多毗舍離的離車人展現出強大的神通,如同國王般威嚴,高聲宣告,離開毗舍離,前往佛陀所在之處供養禮拜。有的離車人頂禮佛足,然後退坐一旁;有的與佛陀互相問候,然後退坐一旁;有的合掌向佛,然後退坐一旁;有的遠遠看見佛陀,便默默地坐下。 那時,許多毗舍離的離車人各自坐定后,世尊為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求之心,成就歡喜之情。世尊以無量方便為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求之心,成就歡喜之情后,便默然不語。於是,許多毗舍離的離車人,在世尊為他們說法,勸導他們生起渴求之心,成就歡喜之情后,便從座位上起身,頂禮佛足,繞佛三圈后離去。 毗舍離的離車人離去後不久。這時,世尊問眾比丘:『諸位長老上座、大弟子們都到哪裡去了?』 眾比丘回答說:『世尊!諸位長老上座、大弟子們,聽到毗舍離的離車人展現出強大的神通,如同國王般威嚴,高聲宣告,離開毗舍離,前來佛陀這裡供養禮拜,便這樣想:『禪定以聲音為刺,世尊也說過禪定以聲音為刺。我們不如前往牛角娑羅林,在那裡沒有喧鬧,可以遠離獨處,在安靜的地方,靜坐思惟。』世尊!諸位長老上座、大弟子們一同前往那裡了。』 於是,世尊聽后讚歎道:『好啊!好啊!諸位長老上座、大弟子們應當這樣說:『禪定以聲音為刺,世尊也說過禪定以聲音為刺。』
At that time, many Licchavis of Vaishali displayed great magical powers, acting with kingly authority, loudly proclaiming and leaving Vaishali to go to where the Buddha was to make offerings and pay respects. Some Licchavis bowed at the Buddha's feet and then sat to one side; some exchanged greetings with the Buddha and then sat to one side; some folded their hands towards the Buddha and then sat to one side; some, having seen the Buddha from afar, sat down silently. Then, after many Licchavis of Vaishali had each taken their seats, the World-Honored One preached the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop a thirst for it and to achieve joy. The World-Honored One, using countless skillful means, preached the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop a thirst for it and to achieve joy, and then remained silent. Thereupon, many Licchavis of Vaishali, after the World-Honored One had preached the Dharma to them, encouraging them to develop a thirst for it and to achieve joy, rose from their seats, bowed at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him three times, and departed. Not long after the Licchavis of Vaishali had left, the World-Honored One asked the monks, 'Where have the venerable elders, senior disciples, and great disciples gone?' The monks replied, 'World-Honored One! The venerable elders, senior disciples, and great disciples, having heard that the Licchavis of Vaishali displayed great magical powers, acting with kingly authority, loudly proclaiming and leaving Vaishali to come here to make offerings and pay respects to the Buddha, thought thus: 『Meditation is pierced by sound, and the World-Honored One has also said that meditation is pierced by sound. We should go to the Gosinga Sala Forest, where there is no disturbance, and live alone in seclusion, in a quiet place, sitting in meditation and contemplating.』 World-Honored One! The venerable elders, senior disciples, and great disciples have all gone there together.' Then, having heard this, the World-Honored One exclaimed, 'Well done! Well done! The venerable elders, senior disciples, and great disciples should say thus: 『Meditation is pierced by sound, and the World-Honored One has also said that meditation is pierced by sound.』'

English version: 'What is the reason for this?' I truly say this, meditation has its thorns. For the one who upholds precepts, breaking precepts is a thorn. For the one who guards the senses, adorning the body is a thorn. For the one who cultivates contemplation of the impure, the appearance of purity is a thorn. For the one who cultivates loving-kindness, hatred is a thorn. For the one who abstains from alcohol, drinking alcohol is a thorn. For the one who practices celibacy, seeing a woman is a thorn. For the one who enters the first jhana, sound is a thorn. For the one who enters the second jhana, initial and sustained thought are thorns. For the one who enters the third jhana, joy is a thorn. For the one who enters the fourth jhana, in-breath and out-breath are thorns. For the one who enters the sphere of infinite space, the perception of form is a thorn. For the one who enters the sphere of infinite consciousness, the perception of the sphere of infinite space is a thorn. For the one who enters the sphere of nothingness, the perception of the sphere of infinite consciousness is a thorn. For the one who enters the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, the perception of the sphere of nothingness is a thorn. For the one who enters the cessation of perception and feeling, perception and feeling are thorns.' 'Furthermore, there are three thorns: the thorn of desire, the thorn of hatred, and the thorn of delusion. These three thorns, the Arahant who has exhausted the outflows has already cut off, already known, uprooted, extinguished, and they will not arise again. This is why the Arahant is without thorns, the Arahant is free from thorns, the Arahant is without thorns and free from thorns.' The Thirteenth Discourse on Thorns ends (835 words) (85) The Fourteenth Discourse on the True Person from the Long-Life King Chapter of the Middle Length Discourses (Second Small Earth City Recitation) Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'I will now teach you the qualities of a true person and the qualities of a non-true person. Listen carefully, listen carefully, and reflect well.' Then, the monks, having received the teaching, listened. The Buddha said: 'What are the qualities of a non-true person? There is a person who is born into a noble family and goes forth into homelessness, while others are not. Because of being from a noble family, he considers himself superior and looks down on others. This is called the qualities of a non-true person. The qualities of a true person are to observe thus: 'It is not because I am from a noble family that I have abandoned lust, anger, and delusion.'

現代漢語譯本:阿難!這四種無量心,你應該為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導他們。如果為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導這四種無量心,他們就能獲得安穩,獲得力量,獲得快樂,身心不會煩躁,終身奉行清凈的修行。 阿難!我曾經為你們說過四種無色定,比丘們斷除一切色想,乃至達到非想非非想處並安住其中。阿難!這四種無色定,你應該為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導他們。如果為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導這四種無色定,他們就能獲得安穩,獲得力量,獲得快樂,身心不會煩躁,終身奉行清凈的修行。 阿難!我曾經為你們說過四種聖種,比丘和比丘尼們,得到粗糙的衣服就知足,不是爲了衣服而追求滿足自己的慾望。如果沒得到衣服,不憂愁,不哭泣,不捶胸,不迷惑;如果得到衣服,不貪戀不執著,不欲求不貪婪,不攀緣不計較。看到衣服的災患,知道出離的要點而使用衣服。像這樣對於事情的利益不懈怠而有正確的認知,這就是比丘和比丘尼安住于舊有的聖種。對於食物和住所也是如此,想要斷除的樂於斷除,想要修習的樂於修習。他們因為想要斷除的樂於斷除,想要修習的樂於修習,所以不自高自大,也不輕視他人。像這樣對於事情的利益不懈怠而有正確的認知,這就是比丘和比丘尼安住于舊有的聖種。阿難!這四種聖種,你應該為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導他們。如果為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導這四種聖種,他們就能獲得安穩,獲得力量,獲得快樂,身心不會煩躁,終身奉行清凈的修行。 阿難!我曾經為你們說過四種沙門果,即須陀洹果、斯陀含果、阿那含果和最上的阿羅漢果。阿難!這四種沙門果,你應該為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導他們。如果為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導這四種沙門果,他們就能獲得安穩,獲得力量,獲得快樂,身心不會煩躁,終身奉行清凈的修行。 阿難!我曾經為你們說過五種熟解脫想,即無常想、無常苦想、苦無我想、不凈惡露想和一切世間不可樂想。阿難!這五種熟解脫想,你應該為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導他們。如果為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導這五種熟解脫想,他們就能獲得安穩,獲得力量,獲得快樂,身心不會煩躁,終身奉行清凈的修行。
English version: Ananda! These four immeasurables, you should explain and teach them to the young monks. If you explain and teach these four immeasurables to the young monks, they will attain peace, gain strength, find joy, their minds and bodies will not be agitated, and they will live a pure life for their entire lives. Ananda! I have previously spoken to you about the four formless attainments. Monks, having abandoned all perceptions of form, even reaching the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception and abiding therein. Ananda! These four formless attainments, you should explain and teach them to the young monks. If you explain and teach these four formless attainments to the young monks, they will attain peace, gain strength, find joy, their minds and bodies will not be agitated, and they will live a pure life for their entire lives. Ananda! I have previously spoken to you about the four noble lineages. Monks and nuns, being content with coarse robes, not seeking to fulfill their desires for clothing. If they have not obtained robes, they do not worry, do not weep, do not beat their chests, do not become confused; if they have obtained robes, they are not attached, not clinging, not desiring, not greedy, not touching, not calculating. Seeing the dangers of clothing, knowing the essential point of detachment, they use clothing. In this way, being diligent and having right knowledge about the benefits of things, this is what it means for monks and nuns to abide in the old noble lineage. The same applies to food and dwelling places. What they wish to abandon, they gladly abandon; what they wish to cultivate, they gladly cultivate. Because they wish to abandon what they wish to abandon, and wish to cultivate what they wish to cultivate, they do not exalt themselves nor belittle others. In this way, being diligent and having right knowledge about the benefits of things, this is what it means for monks and nuns to abide in the old noble lineage. Ananda! These four noble lineages, you should explain and teach them to the young monks. If you explain and teach these four noble lineages to the young monks, they will attain peace, gain strength, find joy, their minds and bodies will not be agitated, and they will live a pure life for their entire lives. Ananda! I have previously spoken to you about the four fruits of the contemplative life: the fruit of stream-entry, the fruit of once-returning, the fruit of non-returning, and the supreme fruit of arahantship. Ananda! These four fruits of the contemplative life, you should explain and teach them to the young monks. If you explain and teach these four fruits of the contemplative life to the young monks, they will attain peace, gain strength, find joy, their minds and bodies will not be agitated, and they will live a pure life for their entire lives. Ananda! I have previously spoken to you about the five well-developed perceptions of liberation: the perception of impermanence, the perception of suffering in impermanence, the perception of no-self in suffering, the perception of impurity and foulness, and the perception that all the world is undesirable. Ananda! These five well-developed perceptions of liberation, you should explain and teach them to the young monks. If you explain and teach these five well-developed perceptions of liberation to the young monks, they will attain peace, gain strength, find joy, their minds and bodies will not be agitated, and they will live a pure life for their entire lives.
「阿難!我本為汝說五解脫處,若比丘、比丘尼因此故,未解脫心得解脫,未盡諸漏得盡無餘,未得無上涅槃得無上涅槃。云何為五?阿難!世尊為比丘、比丘尼說法,諸智梵行者亦為比丘、比丘尼說法。阿難!若世尊為比丘、比丘尼說法,諸智梵行者亦為比丘、比丘尼說法,彼聞法已,便知法解義;彼因知法解義故,便得歡悅;因歡悅故,便得歡喜;因歡喜故,便得止身;因止身故,便得覺樂;因覺樂故,便得心定。阿難!比丘、比丘尼因心定故,便得見如實、知如真;因見如實、知如真故,便得厭;因厭故,便得無慾;因無慾故,便得解脫;因解脫故,便得知解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。阿難!是謂第一解脫處,因此故,比丘、比丘尼未解脫心得解脫,未盡諸漏得盡無餘,未得無上涅槃得無上涅槃。
「複次,阿難!世尊不為比丘、比丘尼說法,諸智梵行者亦不為比丘、比丘尼說法,但如本所聞、所誦習法而廣讀之。若不廣讀本所聞、所誦習法者,但隨本所聞、所誦習法為他廣說。若不為他廣說本所聞、所誦習法者,但隨本所聞、所誦習法心思惟分別。若心不思惟分別本所聞、所誦習法者,但善受持諸三昧相。阿難!若比丘、比丘尼善受持諸三昧相者,便知法解義,彼因知法解義故,便得歡悅;因歡悅故,便得歡喜;因歡喜故,便得止身;因止身故,便得覺樂;因覺樂故,便得心定
「阿難!我曾為你們說過五種解脫之處,如果比丘、比丘尼因此,未解脫的心得以解脫,未盡的煩惱得以完全斷盡,未證得無上涅槃得以證得無上涅槃。哪五種呢?阿難!世尊為比丘、比丘尼說法,有智慧的修行者也為比丘、比丘尼說法。阿難!如果世尊為比丘、比丘尼說法,有智慧的修行者也為比丘、比丘尼說法,他們聽聞佛法后,便能理解佛法的含義;他們因為理解佛法的含義,便會感到歡悅;因為歡悅,便會感到歡喜;因為歡喜,便會身心止息;因為身心止息,便會感到快樂;因為感到快樂,便會心入禪定。阿難!比丘、比丘尼因為心入禪定,便能如實地見到真相,如實地瞭解真理;因為如實地見到真相,如實地瞭解真理,便會生起厭離心;因為厭離心,便會無慾;因為無慾,便會解脫;因為解脫,便會知道自己已經解脫,生死已盡,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,不再受輪迴之苦,如實地知道真理。阿難!這就是第一種解脫之處,因此,比丘、比丘尼未解脫的心得以解脫,未盡的煩惱得以完全斷盡,未證得無上涅槃得以證得無上涅槃。 「再者,阿難!如果世尊不為比丘、比丘尼說法,有智慧的修行者也不為比丘、比丘尼說法,他們就只是廣泛地誦讀自己原本聽聞、誦習的佛法。如果不能廣泛誦讀自己原本聽聞、誦習的佛法,就只是為他人廣泛地講述自己原本聽聞、誦習的佛法。如果不能為他人廣泛地講述自己原本聽聞、誦習的佛法,就只是用心思惟、分別自己原本聽聞、誦習的佛法。如果不能用心思惟、分別自己原本聽聞、誦習的佛法,就只是好好地受持各種禪定之相。阿難!如果比丘、比丘尼好好地受持各種禪定之相,便能理解佛法的含義,他們因為理解佛法的含義,便會感到歡悅;因為歡悅,便會感到歡喜;因為歡喜,便會身心止息;因為身心止息,便會感到快樂;因為感到快樂,便會心入禪定。
『Ananda! I have told you about five places of liberation, by which a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni, whose mind is not liberated, attains liberation; whose defilements are not exhausted, exhausts them completely; and who has not attained the unsurpassed Nirvana, attains the unsurpassed Nirvana. What are the five? Ananda! The Blessed One teaches the Dhamma to bhikkhus and bhikkhunis, and wise practitioners also teach the Dhamma to bhikkhus and bhikkhunis. Ananda! If the Blessed One teaches the Dhamma to bhikkhus and bhikkhunis, and wise practitioners also teach the Dhamma to bhikkhus and bhikkhunis, having heard the Dhamma, they understand the meaning of the Dhamma; because they understand the meaning of the Dhamma, they attain joy; because of joy, they attain gladness; because of gladness, they attain tranquility of body; because of tranquility of body, they attain a sense of pleasure; because of a sense of pleasure, they attain concentration of mind. Ananda! Because of concentration of mind, bhikkhus and bhikkhunis see things as they truly are, and know things as they truly are; because they see things as they truly are, and know things as they truly are, they become disenchanted; because of disenchantment, they become dispassionate; because of dispassion, they attain liberation; because of liberation, they know that they are liberated, that birth is exhausted, the holy life is lived, what had to be done is done, there is no more coming to any state of being, and they know things as they truly are. Ananda! This is called the first place of liberation, by which a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni, whose mind is not liberated, attains liberation; whose defilements are not exhausted, exhausts them completely; and who has not attained the unsurpassed Nirvana, attains the unsurpassed Nirvana. 『Furthermore, Ananda! If the Blessed One does not teach the Dhamma to bhikkhus and bhikkhunis, and wise practitioners also do not teach the Dhamma to bhikkhus and bhikkhunis, they simply widely recite the Dhamma that they have originally heard and learned. If they do not widely recite the Dhamma that they have originally heard and learned, they simply widely explain to others the Dhamma that they have originally heard and learned. If they do not widely explain to others the Dhamma that they have originally heard and learned, they simply contemplate and analyze in their minds the Dhamma that they have originally heard and learned. If they do not contemplate and analyze in their minds the Dhamma that they have originally heard and learned, they simply well maintain the signs of various samadhis. Ananda! If bhikkhus and bhikkhunis well maintain the signs of various samadhis, they understand the meaning of the Dhamma; because they understand the meaning of the Dhamma, they attain joy; because of joy, they attain gladness; because of gladness, they attain tranquility of body; because of tranquility of body, they attain a sense of pleasure; because of a sense of pleasure, they attain concentration of mind.
。阿難!比丘、比丘尼因心定故,便得見如實、知如真;因見如實、知如真故,便得厭;因厭故,便得無慾;因無慾故,便得解脫;因解脫故,便得知解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。阿難!是謂第五解脫處,因此故,比丘、比丘尼未解脫心得解脫,未盡諸漏得盡無餘,未得無上涅槃得無上涅槃。阿難!此五解脫處,汝當爲諸年少比丘說以教彼,若為諸年少比丘說教此五解脫處者,彼便得安隱,得力得樂,身心不煩熱,終身行梵行。

'Releasing it, abandoning it, and again releasing it, he no longer experiences this feeling, which is that feeling arises from harm; thus is the way out of harm. Ananda! This is called the third realm of escape.' 'Furthermore, Ananda! A well-learned noble disciple observes form with great intensity. Because he observes form with great intensity, his mind does not incline towards form, does not delight in form, does not approach form, and does not believe in form. If a thought of form arises in his mind, it immediately dissolves, shrivels, and cannot expand again. He abandons and does not cling to form, loathing and detesting it. Ananda!

。解彼脫彼,復解脫彼,彼不復受此覺,謂覺因己身生,如是己身出要。阿難!是謂第五齣要界。
「阿難!此五出要界,汝當爲諸年少比丘說以教彼,若為諸年少比丘說教此五出要界者,彼便得安隱,得力得樂,身心不煩熱,終身行梵行。

於是,尊者阿難叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!甚奇!甚特!世尊為諸年少比丘說處及教處。」
世尊告曰:「阿難!如是,如是。甚奇!甚特!我為諸年少比丘說處及教處。阿難!若汝從如來複問頂法及頂法退者,汝便於如來極信歡喜
『解脫那個,又解脫那個,他不再有這種感覺,認為感覺是因自身而生,這樣自身就得到了解脫。阿難!這就是第五種解脫的境界。』 『阿難!這五種解脫的境界,你應該為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導他們。如果為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導這五種解脫的境界,他們就能獲得安穩,獲得力量,獲得快樂,身心不再煩熱,終身奉行清凈的修行。』 『阿難!我曾經為你講過七種財富,即信仰的財富、戒律、慚愧、羞恥、博聞、佈施、智慧的財富。阿難!這七種財富,你應該為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導他們。如果為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導這七種財富,他們就能獲得安穩,獲得力量,獲得快樂,身心不再煩熱,終身奉行清凈的修行。』 『阿難!我曾經為你講過七種力量,即信仰的力量、精進、慚愧、羞恥、正念、禪定、智慧的力量。阿難!這七種力量,你應該為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導他們。如果為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導這七種力量,他們就能獲得安穩,獲得力量,獲得快樂,身心不再煩熱,終身奉行清凈的修行。』 『阿難!我曾經為你講過七種覺悟的因素,即正念的覺悟因素、擇法的覺悟因素、精進的覺悟因素、喜悅的覺悟因素、寧靜的覺悟因素、禪定的覺悟因素、捨棄的覺悟因素。阿難!這七種覺悟的因素,你應該為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導他們。如果為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導這七種覺悟的因素,他們就能獲得安穩,獲得力量,獲得快樂,身心不再煩熱,終身奉行清凈的修行。』 『阿難!我曾經為你講過八支聖道,即正見、正思惟、正語、正業、正命、正精進、正念、正定,這就是所謂的八支。阿難!這八支聖道,你應該為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導他們。如果為年輕的比丘們宣說並教導這八支聖道,他們就能獲得安穩,獲得力量,獲得快樂,身心不再煩熱,終身奉行清凈的修行。』 於是,尊者阿難合掌向佛,說道:『世尊!真是稀有!真是特別!世尊為年輕的比丘們宣說了修行之處和教導之處。』 世尊說道:『阿難!正是這樣,正是這樣。真是稀有!真是特別!我為年輕的比丘們宣說了修行之處和教導之處。阿難!如果你從如來這裡再問關於頂法以及頂法退失的問題,你就會對如來產生極大的信仰和歡喜。』
'Releasing that, and further releasing that, he no longer has this feeling, thinking that feeling arises from himself, thus the self is liberated. Ananda! This is called the fifth realm of liberation.' 'Ananda! These five realms of liberation, you should proclaim and teach them to the young monks. If you proclaim and teach these five realms of liberation to the young monks, they will obtain peace, obtain strength, obtain joy, their bodies and minds will no longer be troubled, and they will practice the pure life for their entire lives.' 'Ananda! I have previously spoken to you about the seven treasures, which are the treasure of faith, the treasure of discipline, the treasure of shame, the treasure of remorse, the treasure of learning, the treasure of giving, and the treasure of wisdom. Ananda! These seven treasures, you should proclaim and teach them to the young monks. If you proclaim and teach these seven treasures to the young monks, they will obtain peace, obtain strength, obtain joy, their bodies and minds will no longer be troubled, and they will practice the pure life for their entire lives.' 'Ananda! I have previously spoken to you about the seven powers, which are the power of faith, the power of diligence, the power of shame, the power of remorse, the power of mindfulness, the power of concentration, and the power of wisdom. Ananda! These seven powers, you should proclaim and teach them to the young monks. If you proclaim and teach these seven powers to the young monks, they will obtain peace, obtain strength, obtain joy, their bodies and minds will no longer be troubled, and they will practice the pure life for their entire lives.' 'Ananda! I have previously spoken to you about the seven factors of enlightenment, which are the factor of mindfulness, the factor of investigation of the dharma, the factor of diligence, the factor of joy, the factor of tranquility, the factor of concentration, and the factor of equanimity. Ananda! These seven factors of enlightenment, you should proclaim and teach them to the young monks. If you proclaim and teach these seven factors of enlightenment to the young monks, they will obtain peace, obtain strength, obtain joy, their bodies and minds will no longer be troubled, and they will practice the pure life for their entire lives.' 'Ananda! I have previously spoken to you about the Noble Eightfold Path, which are right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration, these are called the eight factors. Ananda! This Noble Eightfold Path, you should proclaim and teach it to the young monks. If you proclaim and teach this Noble Eightfold Path to the young monks, they will obtain peace, obtain strength, obtain joy, their bodies and minds will no longer be troubled, and they will practice the pure life for their entire lives.' Then, the Venerable Ananda, with his palms together, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! How wonderful! How extraordinary! The World Honored One has spoken about the places of practice and the places of teaching for the young monks.' The World Honored One said: 'Ananda! It is so, it is so. How wonderful! How extraordinary! I have spoken about the places of practice and the places of teaching for the young monks. Ananda! If you were to ask the Tathagata again about the supreme dharma and the decline of the supreme dharma, you would have great faith and joy in the Tathagata.'
於是,尊者阿難叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!今正是時。善逝!今正是時。若世尊為諸年少比丘說頂法及頂法退說及教者,我及諸年少比丘從世尊聞已,當善受持。」
世尊告曰:「阿難!汝等諦聽,善思念之,我當爲汝及諸年少比丘說頂法及頂法退。」尊者阿難等受教而聽。
世尊告曰:「阿難!多聞聖弟子真實因心,思念稱量,善觀分別無常、苦、空、非我,彼如是思念,如是稱量,如是善觀分別,便生忍、生樂、生欲、欲聞、慾念、欲觀,阿難!是謂頂法。阿難!若得此頂法復失衰退,不修守護,不習精勤,阿難!是謂頂法退。如是內外識、更樂、覺、想、思、愛、界、因緣起,阿難!多聞聖弟子此因緣起及因緣起法,思念稱量,善觀分別無常、苦、空、非我,彼如是思念,如是稱量,如是善觀分別,便生忍、生樂、生欲,欲聞、慾念、欲觀。阿難!是謂頂法。阿難!若得此頂法復失衰退,不修守護,不習精勤,阿難!是謂頂法退。阿難!此頂法及頂法退,汝當爲諸年少比丘說以教彼,若為諸年少比丘說教此頂法及頂法退者,彼便得安隱,得力得樂,身心不煩熱,終身行梵行。
「阿難!我為汝等說處及教處,頂法及頂法退,如尊師所為弟子起大慈哀,憐念愍傷,求義及饒益,求安隱快樂者,我今已作。汝等當復自作,至無事處、山林樹下、空安靜處宴坐思惟,勿得放逸,勤加精進,莫令後悔。此是我之教敕,是我訓誨。」
佛說如是。尊者阿難及諸年少比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行
於是,阿難尊者向佛合掌,說道:『世尊!現在正是時候。善逝!現在正是時候。如果世尊為年輕的比丘們講說頂法以及頂法退失的教導,我和年輕的比丘們聽聞后,一定會好好地接受並奉行。』 世尊告訴阿難:『你們仔細聽,好好思考,我會為你們和年輕的比丘們講說頂法以及頂法退失。』阿難尊者等人接受教誨,認真聽講。 世尊說道:『阿難!多聞的聖弟子,因為真實的內心,思考衡量,仔細觀察分辨無常、苦、空、無我,他們這樣思考,這樣衡量,這樣仔細觀察分辨,就會生起忍耐、生起喜樂、生起慾望、想要聽聞、想要憶念、想要觀察。阿難!這就是所謂的頂法。阿難!如果得到這頂法后又失去衰退,不修習守護,不勤奮精進,阿難!這就是所謂的頂法退失。就像內外識、更樂、覺、想、思、愛、界、因緣生起一樣,阿難!多聞的聖弟子對於這因緣生起以及因緣生起的法,思考衡量,仔細觀察分辨無常、苦、空、無我,他們這樣思考,這樣衡量,這樣仔細觀察分辨,就會生起忍耐、生起喜樂、生起慾望、想要聽聞、想要憶念、想要觀察。阿難!這就是所謂的頂法。阿難!如果得到這頂法后又失去衰退,不修習守護,不勤奮精進,阿難!這就是所謂的頂法退失。阿難!這頂法以及頂法退失,你們應當為年輕的比丘們講說,以此教導他們,如果為年輕的比丘們講說教導這頂法以及頂法退失,他們就會得到安穩,得到力量,得到快樂,身心不會煩惱熱惱,終身奉行清凈的修行。』 『阿難!我為你們講說了處所和教導的處所,頂法以及頂法退失,就像尊貴的老師為弟子們生起大慈悲心,憐憫愛護,尋求利益和饒益,尋求安穩快樂一樣,我已經做到了。你們應當自己去做,到無人的地方、山林樹下、空曠安靜的地方靜坐思考,不要放逸,勤加精進,不要後悔。這是我的教誨,是我的訓誡。』 佛陀如此說道。阿難尊者和年輕的比丘們,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地接受並奉行。
Then, Venerable Ananda, with his hands clasped, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! Now is the right time. Well-gone One! Now is the right time. If the World Honored One would explain the peak Dharma and the decline of the peak Dharma to the young monks, I and the young monks, having heard it from the World Honored One, will receive and uphold it well.' The World Honored One said: 'Ananda! Listen carefully, think well, I will explain the peak Dharma and the decline of the peak Dharma to you and the young monks.' Venerable Ananda and others received the teaching and listened attentively. The World Honored One said: 'Ananda! A well-learned noble disciple, with a true heart, contemplates and measures, carefully observes and distinguishes impermanence, suffering, emptiness, and non-self. When they contemplate in this way, measure in this way, and carefully observe and distinguish in this way, they will generate patience, generate joy, generate desire, desire to hear, desire to remember, and desire to observe. Ananda! This is called the peak Dharma. Ananda! If one obtains this peak Dharma and then loses it and declines, not cultivating and protecting it, not practicing diligently, Ananda! This is called the decline of the peak Dharma. Just like the arising of internal and external consciousness, further pleasure, feeling, thought, intention, love, realms, and dependent origination, Ananda! A well-learned noble disciple, regarding this dependent origination and the Dharma of dependent origination, contemplates and measures, carefully observes and distinguishes impermanence, suffering, emptiness, and non-self. When they contemplate in this way, measure in this way, and carefully observe and distinguish in this way, they will generate patience, generate joy, generate desire, desire to hear, desire to remember, and desire to observe. Ananda! This is called the peak Dharma. Ananda! If one obtains this peak Dharma and then loses it and declines, not cultivating and protecting it, not practicing diligently, Ananda! This is called the decline of the peak Dharma. Ananda! You should explain this peak Dharma and the decline of the peak Dharma to the young monks, and teach them with it. If you explain and teach this peak Dharma and the decline of the peak Dharma to the young monks, they will obtain peace, obtain strength, obtain joy, their bodies and minds will not be troubled or heated, and they will practice pure conduct for their whole lives.' 'Ananda! I have explained to you the places and the places of teaching, the peak Dharma and the decline of the peak Dharma, just as a venerable teacher would generate great compassion for their disciples, pitying and loving them, seeking benefit and advantage, seeking peace and happiness, I have now done this. You should do it yourselves, go to secluded places, under trees in forests, in empty and quiet places, sit in meditation and contemplate, do not be negligent, diligently strive, do not have regrets. This is my teaching, this is my instruction.' The Buddha spoke thus. Venerable Ananda and the young monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully received and practiced it.

Then, the venerable Sariputra addressed the bhikkhus: 'Friends, there are four kinds of people in the world. What are the four? There is a person who has defilements within but does not know it, who has defilements within but does not know it as it truly is; there is a person who has defilements within and knows it, who has defilements within and knows it as it truly is; there is a person who has no defilements within but does not know it, who has no defilements within but does not know it as it truly is; there is a person who has no defilements within and knows it, who has no defilements within and knows it as it truly is.' 'Friends, if there is a person who has defilements within but does not know it, who has defilements within but does not know it as it truly is, this person is the most inferior among all people. If there is a person who has defilements within and knows it, who has defilements within and knows it as it truly is, this person is the most superior among all people. If there is a person who has no defilements within but does not know it, who has no defilements within but does not know it as it truly is, this person is the most inferior among all people. If there is a person who has no defilements within and knows it, who has no defilements within and knows it as it truly is, this person is the most superior among all people.'
於是,有一比丘即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向尊者舍梨子,白曰:「尊者舍梨子!何因、何緣說前二人俱有穢,穢污心,一者下賤,一者最勝?復何因緣說后二人俱無穢,不穢污心,一者下賤,一者最勝?」
於是,尊者舍梨子答彼比丘曰:「賢者!若有一人內實有穢不自知,內有穢不知如真者,當知彼人不欲斷穢,不求方便,不精勤學,彼便有穢,穢污心命終;彼因有穢,穢污心命終故,便不賢死,生不善處。所以者何?彼因有穢,穢污心命終故。賢者!猶如有人或從市肆,或從銅作家,買銅槃來,塵垢所污,彼持來已,不數洗塵,不數揩拭,亦不日炙,又著饒塵處,如是銅槃增受塵垢。賢者!如是若有一人內實有穢不自知,內有穢不知如真者,當知彼人不欲斷穢,不求方便,不精勤學,彼便有穢,穢污心命終;彼因有穢,穢污心命終故,便不賢死,生不善處。所以者何?彼因有穢,穢污心命終故。
「賢者!若有一人我內有穢,我內實有此穢知如真者,當知彼人慾斷此穢,求方便,精勤學,彼便無穢,不穢污心命終;彼因無穢,不穢污心命終故,便賢死,生善處。所以者何?彼因無穢,不穢污心命終故。賢者!猶如有人或從市肆,或從銅作家,買銅槃來,塵垢所污,彼持來已,數數洗塵,數數揩拭,數數日炙,不著饒塵處,如是銅槃便極凈潔。賢者!如是若有一人我內有穢,我內實有此穢知如真者,當知彼人慾斷此穢,求方便,精勤學,彼便無穢,不穢污心命終;彼因無穢,不穢污心命終故,便賢死,生善處
於是,一位比丘立即從座位上站起來,整理好衣袍,合掌向尊者舍利子請教說:『尊者舍利子!是什麼原因、什麼緣故說前面兩個人都有污穢,內心被污染,一個(指不自知者)是,一個(指自知者)是最殊勝的?又是什麼原因、什麼緣故說後面兩個人都沒有污穢,內心沒有被污染,一個(指斷除者)是,一個(指未斷除者)是最殊勝的?』 於是,尊者舍利子回答那位比丘說:『賢者!如果有一個人內心確實有污穢卻不自知,內心有污穢卻不能如實知曉,應當知道這個人不想斷除污穢,不尋求方法,不精進學習,他就會帶著污穢,內心被污染而死去;他因為有污穢,內心被污染而死去,就會死得不好,投生到不好的地方。為什麼呢?因為他因為有污穢,內心被污染而死去。賢者!就像有人從市場或銅匠那裡買來一個銅盤,被塵垢污染了,他拿來后,不經常清洗灰塵,不經常擦拭,也不放在太陽下曬,又放在容易沾染灰塵的地方,這樣銅盤就會增加塵垢。賢者!就像這樣,如果有一個人內心確實有污穢卻不自知,內心有污穢卻不能如實知曉,應當知道這個人不想斷除污穢,不尋求方法,不精進學習,他就會帶著污穢,內心被污染而死去;他因為有污穢,內心被污染而死去,就會死得不好,投生到不好的地方。為什麼呢?因為他因為有污穢,內心被污染而死去。 『賢者!如果有一個人知道自己內心有污穢,知道自己內心確實有這種污穢,並且如實知曉,應當知道這個人想要斷除這種污穢,尋求方法,精進學習,他就會沒有污穢,內心沒有被污染而死去;他因為沒有污穢,內心沒有被污染而死去,就會死得好,投生到好的地方。為什麼呢?因為他因為沒有污穢,內心沒有被污染而死去。賢者!就像有人從市場或銅匠那裡買來一個銅盤,被塵垢污染了,他拿來后,經常清洗灰塵,經常擦拭,經常放在太陽下曬,不放在容易沾染灰塵的地方,這樣銅盤就會非常乾淨。賢者!就像這樣,如果有一個人知道自己內心有污穢,知道自己內心確實有這種污穢,並且如實知曉,應當知道這個人想要斷除這種污穢,尋求方法,精進學習,他就會沒有污穢,內心沒有被污染而死去;他因為沒有污穢,內心沒有被污染而死去,就會死得好,投生到好的地方。
Then, a certain bhikkhu rose from his seat, arranged his robe, and, with his hands clasped, addressed the venerable Sariputta, saying: 'Venerable Sariputta! What is the reason, what is the cause, that you say the first two persons both have defilements, with defiled minds, one being ** and the other being most excellent? And what is the reason, what is the cause, that you say the latter two persons both have no defilements, with undefiled minds, one being ** and the other being most excellent?' Then, the venerable Sariputta answered that bhikkhu, saying: 'Venerable one! If there is a person who inwardly has defilements but does not know it, who has defilements but does not know them as they truly are, know that this person does not wish to abandon defilements, does not seek a means, does not diligently learn, he will then have defilements, and die with a defiled mind; because he has defilements, and dies with a defiled mind, he will die badly, and be born in an unfavorable place. Why is that? Because he has defilements, and dies with a defiled mind. Venerable one! It is like a person who, from a market or from a coppersmith, buys a copper bowl that is soiled with dust and grime. Having brought it, he does not frequently wash off the dust, does not frequently wipe it clean, nor does he expose it to the sun, and he also places it in a dusty place. Thus, the copper bowl accumulates more dust and grime. Venerable one! Just so, if there is a person who inwardly has defilements but does not know it, who has defilements but does not know them as they truly are, know that this person does not wish to abandon defilements, does not seek a means, does not diligently learn, he will then have defilements, and die with a defiled mind; because he has defilements, and dies with a defiled mind, he will die badly, and be born in an unfavorable place. Why is that? Because he has defilements, and dies with a defiled mind.' 'Venerable one! If there is a person who knows, 'I have defilements within me,' who knows that he truly has these defilements, and knows them as they truly are, know that this person wishes to abandon these defilements, seeks a means, and diligently learns, he will then have no defilements, and die with an undefiled mind; because he has no defilements, and dies with an undefiled mind, he will die well, and be born in a favorable place. Why is that? Because he has no defilements, and dies with an undefiled mind. Venerable one!

現代漢語譯本:這是為什麼呢?因為他內心沒有污穢,沒有被污穢的心所污染而死去。 賢者!如果有一個人認為自己內心沒有污穢,並且實際上並不真正瞭解自己內心沒有污穢,那麼要知道這個人不會守護通過眼睛和耳朵所瞭解的法。因為他不守護通過眼睛和耳朵所瞭解的法,就會被慾望之心所纏繞,他就會有慾望和污穢,被污穢的心所污染而死去;因為他有慾望和污穢,被污穢的心所污染而死去,他就不會善終,會投生到不好的地方。這是為什麼呢?因為他有慾望和污穢,被污穢的心所污染而死去。賢者!就像有個人從市場上或從銅匠那裡買來一個銅盤,沒有污垢,非常乾淨。他拿來之後,不經常洗去灰塵,不經常擦拭,不經常曬太陽,放在容易沾染灰塵的地方,這樣的銅盤一定會沾染灰塵。賢者!如果有一個人認為自己內心沒有污穢,並且實際上並不真正瞭解自己內心沒有污穢,那麼要知道這個人不會守護通過眼睛和耳朵所瞭解的法。因為他不守護通過眼睛和耳朵所瞭解的法,就會被慾望之心所纏繞,他就會有慾望和污穢,被污穢的心所污染而死去;因為他有慾望和污穢,被污穢的心所污染而死去,他就不會善終,會投生到不好的地方。這是為什麼呢?因為他有慾望和污穢,被污穢的心所污染而死去。 賢者!如果有一個人認為自己內心沒有污穢,並且實際上真正瞭解自己內心沒有污穢,那麼要知道這個人會守護通過眼睛和耳朵所瞭解的法。因為他守護通過眼睛和耳朵所瞭解的法,就不會被慾望之心所纏繞,他就沒有慾望和污穢,不會被污穢的心所污染而死去;因為他沒有慾望和污穢,沒有被污穢的心所污染而死去,他就會善終,會投生到好的地方。這是為什麼呢?因為他沒有慾望和污穢,沒有被污穢的心所污染而死去。賢者!就像有個人從市場上或從銅匠那裡買來一個銅盤,沒有污垢,非常乾淨。他拿來之後,經常清洗擦拭,經常曬太陽,不放在容易沾染灰塵的地方,這樣的銅盤就會非常乾淨。賢者!如果有一個人認為自己內心沒有污穢,並且實際上真正瞭解自己內心沒有污穢,那麼要知道這個人會守護通過眼睛和耳朵所瞭解的法。因為他守護通過眼睛和耳朵所瞭解的法,就不會被慾望之心所纏繞,他就沒有慾望和污穢,不會被污穢的心所污染而死去;因為他沒有慾望和污穢,沒有被污穢的心所污染而死去,他就會善終,會投生到好的地方。這是為什麼呢?因為他沒有慾望和污穢,沒有被污穢的心所污染而死去。
English version: Why is that? Because he is without defilement, and does not die with a defiled mind. Wise one! If there is a person who thinks that there is no defilement within him, and does not truly know that there is no defilement within him, then know that this person does not guard the Dharma known through the eyes and ears.

「賢者!因是緣是,說前二人俱有穢,穢污心,一者下賤,一者最勝。因是緣是,說后二人俱無穢穢污心,一者下賤,一者最勝。」
於是,復有比丘即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向尊者舍梨子,白曰:「尊者舍梨子!所說穢者,何等為穢?」
尊者舍梨子答比丘曰:「賢者!無量惡不善法從欲生,謂之穢。所以者何?或有一人心生如是欲:『我所犯戒,莫令他人知我犯戒。』賢者!或有他人知彼犯戒,彼因他人知犯戒故,心便生惡,若彼心生惡及心生欲者,俱是不善。賢者!或有一人心生如是欲:『我所犯戒,當令他人于屏處訶,莫令在眾訶我犯戒。』賢者!或有他人于眾中訶,不在屏處,彼因他人在眾中訶,不在屏處故,心便生惡,若彼心生惡及心生欲者,俱是不善。賢者!或有一人心生如是欲:『我所犯戒,令勝人訶,莫令不如人訶我犯戒。』賢者!或有不如人訶彼犯戒,非是勝人,彼因不如人訶,非勝人故,心便生惡,若彼心生惡及心生欲者,俱是不善。
「賢者!或有一人心生如是欲:『令我在佛前坐,問世尊法,為諸比丘說,莫令余比丘在佛前坐,問世尊法,為諸比丘說。』賢者!或有餘比丘在佛前坐,問世尊法,為諸比丘說,彼因余比丘在佛前坐,問世尊法,為諸比丘說故,心便生惡,若彼心生惡及心生欲者,俱是不善。賢者!或有一人心生如是欲:『諸比丘入內時,令我最在其前,諸比丘侍從我將入內,莫令余比丘諸比丘入內時,最在其前,諸比丘侍從彼將入內
『賢者!因為這樣的因緣,說前面兩個人都有污穢,污穢了心,一個,一個最殊勝。因為這樣的因緣,說後面兩個人都沒有污穢,沒有污穢心,一個,一個最殊勝。』 於是,又有一位比丘從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,合掌向尊者舍利子,說道:『尊者舍利子!所說的污穢,是什麼樣的污穢呢?』 尊者舍利子回答比丘說:『賢者!無量惡不善法從慾望產生,這叫做污穢。為什麼呢?有的人心中生起這樣的慾望:』我所犯的戒律,不要讓別人知道我犯戒。』賢者!或許有別人知道他犯戒,他因為別人知道他犯戒的緣故,心中就生起惡念,如果他心中生起惡念和慾望,都是不善的。賢者!有的人心中生起這樣的慾望:』我所犯的戒律,應當讓別人在隱蔽的地方責備我,不要在眾人面前責備我犯戒。』賢者!或許有別人在眾人面前責備他,不在隱蔽的地方,他因為別人在眾人面前責備他,不在隱蔽的地方的緣故,心中就生起惡念,如果他心中生起惡念和慾望,都是不善的。賢者!有的人心中生起這樣的慾望:』我所犯的戒律,讓勝過我的人責備我,不要讓不如我的人責備我犯戒。』賢者!或許有不如他的人責備他犯戒,不是勝過他的人,他因為不如他的人責備他,不是勝過他的人的緣故,心中就生起惡念,如果他心中生起惡念和慾望,都是不善的。 『賢者!有的人心中生起這樣的慾望:』讓我坐在佛陀面前,向世尊請教佛法,為眾比丘說法,不要讓其他比丘坐在佛陀面前,向世尊請教佛法,為眾比丘說法。』賢者!或許有其他比丘坐在佛陀面前,向世尊請教佛法,為眾比丘說法,他因為其他比丘坐在佛陀面前,向世尊請教佛法,為眾比丘說法的緣故,心中就生起惡念,如果他心中生起惡念和慾望,都是不善的。賢者!有的人心中生起這樣的慾望:』當衆比丘進入室內時,讓我走在最前面,眾比丘侍奉我進入室內,不要讓其他比丘在眾比丘進入室內時,走在最前面,眾比丘侍奉他進入室內』
'Wise one! Because of this cause and condition, it is said that the first two have defilements, defiled minds, one is ** and one is the most excellent. Because of this cause and condition, it is said that the latter two have no defilements, no defiled minds, one is ** and one is the most excellent.' Then, another bhikkhu rose from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, and with his hands together, addressed the venerable Sariputta, saying: 'Venerable Sariputta! What is this defilement that is spoken of?' The venerable Sariputta replied to the bhikkhu: 'Wise one! Countless evil and unwholesome states arise from desire, and this is called defilement. Why is that? There is a person who has a desire like this: 'May others not know that I have broken the precepts.' Wise one! Perhaps others know that he has broken the precepts, and because others know that he has broken the precepts, he develops evil in his mind. If he develops evil in his mind and desire, both are unwholesome. Wise one! There is a person who has a desire like this: 'May others rebuke me for breaking the precepts in private, not in public.' Wise one! Perhaps others rebuke him in public, not in private, and because others rebuke him in public, not in private, he develops evil in his mind. If he develops evil in his mind and desire, both are unwholesome. Wise one! There is a person who has a desire like this: 'May those who are superior to me rebuke me for breaking the precepts, not those who are inferior to me.' Wise one! Perhaps those who are inferior to him rebuke him for breaking the precepts, not those who are superior to him, and because those who are inferior to him rebuke him, not those who are superior to him, he develops evil in his mind. If he develops evil in his mind and desire, both are unwholesome. 'Wise one! There is a person who has a desire like this: 'May I sit before the Buddha, ask the Blessed One about the Dharma, and teach it to the bhikkhus, not other bhikkhus sitting before the Buddha, asking the Blessed One about the Dharma, and teaching it to the bhikkhus.' Wise one! Perhaps other bhikkhus sit before the Buddha, ask the Blessed One about the Dharma, and teach it to the bhikkhus, and because other bhikkhus sit before the Buddha, ask the Blessed One about the Dharma, and teach it to the bhikkhus, he develops evil in his mind. If he develops evil in his mind and desire, both are unwholesome. Wise one! There is a person who has a desire like this: 'When the bhikkhus enter the dwelling, may I be the first to enter, with the bhikkhus attending me, not other bhikkhus being the first to enter when the bhikkhus enter the dwelling, with the bhikkhus attending them.'

'Venerable, it is like someone buying a copper bowl from the market or a coppersmith, filling it with excrement, covering it, and then carrying it away. When passing by shops and near crowds, people see it and desire to eat what's inside, feeling great pleasure and no disgust, having a pure thought. But when he takes it to a place and opens it, people see it and no longer want to eat it, having no desire, feeling great disgust, and having an impure thought. If someone who wanted to eat it would no longer use it, how much less would someone who never wanted to eat it in the first place?' 'Venerable, similarly, if there are wise practitioners who do not know that a person has generated such immeasurable evil and unwholesome desires, then that person is not a 'shramana' (ascetic) but thinks he is a 'shramana'; not a wise 'shramana' but thinks he is a wise 'shramana'; not having right wisdom but thinks he has right wisdom; not having right mindfulness but thinks he has right mindfulness; not being pure but thinks he is pure.

Venerable, know that such a person should not be approached, should not be respected or honored. If a bhikkhu (monk) approaches those he should not approach, and respects and honors those he should not respect and honor, then he will for a long time experience no benefit or gain, will not be benefited, will not be secure and happy, and will generate suffering and sorrow.' 'Venerable, there is a person who does not generate the thought: 『May others not know that I have broken the precepts.』 Venerable, there is another who knows that he has broken the precepts, and because others know he has broken the precepts, he does not generate evil in his heart; if his heart has no evil, and he does not generate desire, these two are good. Venerable, there is a person who does not generate the thought: 『May others rebuke me in private for breaking the precepts, and not rebuke me in public.』 Venerable, there is another who is rebuked in public, not in private, and because he is rebuked in public, not in private, he does not generate evil in his heart; if his heart has no evil, and he does not generate desire, these two are good. Venerable, there is a person who does not generate the thought: 『May those who are superior to me rebuke me for breaking the precepts, and not those who are inferior to me.』 Venerable, there is another who is rebuked for breaking the precepts by those who are inferior to him, not by those who are superior to him, and because he is rebuked by those who are inferior to him, not by those who are superior to him, he does not generate evil in his heart; if his heart has no evil, and he does not generate desire, these two are good.'

Venerable sir, or another monk might obtain clothing, food, bedding, medicine, and various necessities of life, and because of that other monk obtaining these things, he does not generate evil in his heart; if his heart has no evil, and no desire arises in his heart, both of these are good. 'Venerable sir,' if there are wise practitioners who do not know that this person has generated such immeasurable good intentions and desires, then this person will think that this monk is not a true monk, that a wise monk is not a truly wise monk, that one with right view does not have true right view, that one with right mindfulness does not have true right mindfulness, and that one who is pure is not truly pure. 'Venerable sir,' if there are wise practitioners who know that this person has generated such immeasurable good intentions and desires, then this person will think that this monk is a true monk, that a wise monk is a truly wise monk, that one with right view has right view, that one with right mindfulness has right mindfulness, and that one who is pure is pure. 'Venerable sir,' it is like a person who buys a copper bowl from the market or from a coppersmith, fills it with various clean and delicious foods, covers it, and then carries it away. He passes through shops, walking near crowds, and when those people see it, they do not want to eat it, they have no liking for it, they greatly detest it, and they have unclean thoughts, saying: 'Take that filth away, take that filth away.' After he takes it away, he stops in a place and opens it, and when people see it, they all want to eat it, they like it very much and do not detest it, and they have clean thoughts. If he originally did not want to eat it, but after seeing it he wants to eat it, how much more so if he originally wanted to eat it? 'Venerable sir,' if there are wise practitioners who do not know that this person has generated such immeasurable good intentions and desires, then this person will think that this monk is not a true monk, that a wise monk is not a truly wise monk, that one with right view does not have true right view, that one with right mindfulness does not have true right mindfulness, and that one who is pure is not truly pure. 'Venerable sir,' if there are wise practitioners who know that this person has generated such immeasurable good intentions and desires, then this person will think that this monk is a true monk, that a wise monk is a truly wise monk, that one with right view has right view, that one with right mindfulness has right mindfulness, and that one who is pure is pure. 'Venerable sir,' it should be known that such a person should be approached, respected, and served; if a monk should be approached, then approach him, and if he should be respected and served, then respect and serve him.
。如是彼便長夜得利得義,則得饒益安隱快樂,亦得無苦,無憂愁戚。」
爾時,尊者大目揵連在彼眾中。於是,尊者大目揵連白曰:「尊者舍梨子!我今欲為此事說喻,聽我說耶?」
尊者舍梨子告曰:「賢者大目揵連!欲說喻者便可說之。」
尊者大目揵連則便白曰:「尊者舍梨子!我憶一時游王舍城,在巖山中,我于爾時過夜平旦,著衣持缽,入王舍城而行乞食,詣舊車師無衣滿子家。時,彼比舍更有車師斫治車軸,是時,舊車師無衣滿子往至彼家。於是,舊車師無衣滿子見彼治軸,心生是念:『若彼車師執斧治軸,斫彼彼惡處者,如是彼軸便當極好。』時,彼車師即如舊車師無衣滿子心中所念,便持斧斫彼彼惡處。於是,舊車師無衣滿子極大歡喜,而作是說:『車師子!汝心如是,則知我心。所以者何?以汝持斧斫治車軸彼彼惡處,如我意故。』如是,尊者舍梨子!若有諛諂、欺誑、嫉妒、無信、懈怠,無正念正智,無定無慧,其心狂惑,不護諸根,不修沙門,無所分別。尊者舍梨子!心為知彼心故,而說此法。尊者舍梨子!若有人不諛諂,不欺誑,無嫉妒,有信,精進而無懈怠,有正念正智,修定修慧,心不狂惑,守護諸根,廣修沙門而善分別。彼聞尊者舍梨子所說法者,猶饑欲得食,渴欲得飲,口及意也
如果這樣,他將長夜獲得利益和正義,從而獲得饒益、安穩和快樂,也能夠沒有痛苦、沒有憂愁和悲傷。 當時,尊者大目犍連也在那個集會中。於是,尊者大目犍連說道:『尊者舍利子!我現在想用比喻來說明這件事,您願意聽我說嗎?』 尊者舍利子回答說:『賢者大目犍連!想用比喻說明的話,就請說吧。』 尊者大目犍連於是說道:『尊者舍利子!我記得有一次在王舍城遊歷,在巖山中過夜。第二天清晨,我穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入王舍城乞食,到了舊車匠無衣滿子的家。當時,那個地方還有一位車匠在修理車軸。這時,舊車匠無衣滿子去了那裡。於是,舊車匠無衣滿子看到他在修理車軸,心裡想:『如果那個車匠拿著斧頭修理車軸,砍掉那些不好的地方,那麼這個車軸就會變得非常好。』當時,那個車匠就像舊車匠無衣滿子心裡所想的那樣,拿著斧頭砍掉那些不好的地方。於是,舊車匠無衣滿子非常高興,說道:『車匠啊!你的心和我一樣,知道我的想法。為什麼呢?因為你拿著斧頭修理車軸,砍掉那些不好的地方,正合我的心意。』尊者舍利子!如果有人諂媚、欺騙、嫉妒、不信、懈怠、沒有正念正知、沒有定力沒有智慧、心神狂亂、不守護諸根、不修習沙門之法、沒有分別能力。尊者舍利子!爲了瞭解他們的心,才說這個法。尊者舍利子!如果有人不諂媚、不欺騙、沒有嫉妒、有信心、精進而不懈怠、有正念正知、修習定力修習智慧、心不狂亂、守護諸根、廣泛修習沙門之法並且善於分別。他們聽到尊者舍利子所說的法,就像飢餓的人想要得到食物,口渴的人想要得到飲水一樣,他們的口和心都是如此。'
If so, he will gain benefit and righteousness for a long night, thus obtaining benefit, peace, and happiness, and also be free from suffering, sorrow, and grief. At that time, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana was also in that assembly. Then, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana said: 'Venerable Śāriputra! I now wish to use a simile to explain this matter, would you listen to me?' The venerable Śāriputra replied: 'Worthy Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If you wish to use a simile, then please speak.' The venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana then said: 'Venerable Śāriputra! I remember once traveling in Rājagṛha, spending the night in the rocky mountains. The next morning, I put on my robes, took my bowl, and entered Rājagṛha to beg for food, arriving at the house of the old cartwright, Nirvastramāṇḍa. At that time, there was another cartwright in that place repairing a cart axle. Then, the old cartwright, Nirvastramāṇḍa, went to that place. Upon seeing him repairing the axle, the old cartwright, Nirvastramāṇḍa, thought: 『If that cartwright uses an axe to repair the axle, cutting away the bad parts, then this axle will become very good.』 At that time, the cartwright, just as the old cartwright, Nirvastramāṇḍa, had thought, used an axe to cut away the bad parts. Then, the old cartwright, Nirvastramāṇḍa, was very happy and said: 『Cartwright! Your mind is like mine, knowing my thoughts. Why? Because you used an axe to repair the axle, cutting away the bad parts, just as I intended.』 Venerable Śāriputra! If there are those who are flattering, deceitful, jealous, faithless, lazy, without right mindfulness and right knowledge, without concentration and wisdom, with minds that are confused, not guarding their senses, not practicing the life of a śramaṇa, and without the ability to discern. Venerable Śāriputra! It is to understand their minds that this Dharma is spoken. Venerable Śāriputra! If there are those who are not flattering, not deceitful, without jealousy, with faith, diligent and not lazy, with right mindfulness and right knowledge, practicing concentration and wisdom, with minds that are not confused, guarding their senses, extensively practicing the life of a śramaṇa, and are good at discerning. When they hear the Dharma spoken by the venerable Śāriputra, it is like a hungry person wanting to obtain food, a thirsty person wanting to obtain drink, their mouths and minds are like this.'
「尊者舍梨子!猶剎利女,梵志、居士、工師女,端正姝好,極凈沐浴,以香涂身,著明凈衣,種種瓔珞嚴飾其容;或復有人爲念彼女,求利及饒益,求安隱快樂,以青蓮華鬘,或薝蔔華鬘;或修摩那華鬘,或婆師華鬘;或阿提牟哆華鬘,持與彼女。彼女歡喜,兩手受之,以嚴其頭。尊者舍梨子!如是,若有人不諛諂,不欺誑,無嫉妒,有信,精進而無懈怠,有正念正智,修定修慧,心不狂惑,守護諸根,廣修沙門而善分別,彼聞尊者舍梨子所說法者,猶饑欲食,渴欲得飲,口及意也。尊者舍梨子甚奇!甚特!尊者舍梨子常拔濟諸梵行者,令離不善,安立善處。」
如是二尊更相稱說,從座起去。
尊者舍梨子所說如是。尊者大目揵連及諸比丘,聞尊者舍梨子所說,歡喜奉行。
穢經第一竟(五千一百九十六字)
(八八)中阿含穢品求法經第二(第二小土城誦)
一時,佛游拘娑羅國,與大比丘眾俱,往詣五娑羅村北尸攝和林中,及諸名德、上尊長老、大弟子等,謂尊者舍梨子、尊者大目揵連、尊者大迦葉、尊者大迦旃延、尊者阿那律陀、尊者麗越、尊者阿難,如是比餘名德、上尊長老、大弟子等,亦在五娑羅村並皆近佛葉屋邊住。
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「汝等當行求法,莫行求飲食。所以者何?我慈愍弟子故,欲令行求法,不行求飲食。若汝等行求飲食,不行求法者,汝等既自惡,我亦無名稱。若汝等行求法,不行求飲食者,汝等既自好,我亦有名稱
現代漢語譯本:『尊敬的舍利子!就像剎帝利女子、婆羅門女子、居士女子、工匠女子,她們容貌端正美麗,沐浴得非常乾淨,用香塗抹身體,穿著明亮的衣服,用各種瓔珞裝飾自己的容貌;或者有人爲了思念她們,爲了利益和饒益她們,爲了她們的安穩快樂,用青蓮花環,或者薝蔔花環,或者修摩那花環,或者婆師花環,或者阿提牟哆花環,送給她們。她們會歡喜地用雙手接受,用來裝飾自己的頭部。尊敬的舍利子!同樣,如果有人不諂媚,不欺騙,沒有嫉妒,有信心,精進而不懈怠,有正念正知,修習禪定和智慧,內心不迷惑,守護自己的感官,廣泛地修習沙門之道並且善於分辨,那麼當他們聽到尊敬的舍利子所說的法時,就像飢餓的人渴望食物,口渴的人渴望飲水一樣。尊敬的舍利子真是太奇特了!太殊勝了!尊敬的舍利子常常救拔那些修行梵行的人,使他們遠離不善,安立於善處。』 就這樣,兩位尊者互相稱讚,然後從座位上起身離去。 尊者舍利子所說的就是這樣。尊者大目犍連和眾比丘,聽了尊者舍利子所說的話,都歡喜地奉行。 《穢經》第一部分結束(五千一百九十六字) (八八)《中阿含經·穢品》之《求法經》第二(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在拘薩羅國游化,與眾多比丘一起,前往五娑羅村北邊的尸攝和林中。當時,還有許多有德望、受人尊敬的長老和大弟子,如尊者舍利子、尊者大目犍連、尊者大迦葉、尊者大迦旃延、尊者阿那律陀、尊者麗越、尊者阿難等,以及其他有德望、受人尊敬的長老和大弟子,也都住在五娑羅村,靠近佛陀的葉屋邊。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『你們應當去尋求佛法,不要去尋求飲食。為什麼呢?因為我慈悲憐憫弟子,希望你們去尋求佛法,而不是去尋求飲食。如果你們去尋求飲食,而不是去尋求佛法,你們既會自我墮落,我也沒有好名聲。如果你們去尋求佛法,而不是去尋求飲食,你們既會自我完善,我也會有好名聲。』
English version: 『Venerable Sariputta! Just as a Kshatriya woman, a Brahmin woman, a householder woman, or a craftswoman, who is beautiful and fair, has bathed thoroughly, has applied fragrant oils to her body, is wearing bright clothes, and has adorned her appearance with various ornaments; or someone, thinking of her, seeking benefit and welfare for her, seeking her peace and happiness, would bring her a garland of blue lotuses, or a garland of champak flowers, or a garland of jasmine flowers, or a garland of vasika flowers, or a garland of atimukta flowers. She would joyfully receive it with both hands and use it to adorn her head. Venerable Sariputta! In the same way, if someone is not flattering, not deceitful, without jealousy, has faith, is diligent and not lazy, has right mindfulness and right knowledge, cultivates concentration and wisdom, whose mind is not confused, who guards their senses, widely cultivates the path of a renunciate and is good at discernment, then when they hear the Dharma spoken by Venerable Sariputta, it is like a hungry person desiring food, or a thirsty person desiring drink, both in mouth and mind. Venerable Sariputta is truly wonderful! Truly extraordinary! Venerable Sariputta always rescues those who practice the holy life, causing them to depart from unwholesome states and establishing them in wholesome states.』 Thus, the two venerable ones praised each other, and then rose from their seats and departed. This is what Venerable Sariputta said. Venerable Maha Moggallana and the other monks, having heard what Venerable Sariputta said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. The end of the first section of the 'Impurity Sutra' (5196 words). (88) The Second Sutra on Seeking the Dharma from the 'Impurity Section' of the Middle Length Discourses (Second recitation at Small Earth City) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Kosala, together with a large assembly of monks, and went to the Shishapa Grove north of the village of Five Sal Trees. At that time, there were also many virtuous, respected elders and great disciples, such as Venerable Sariputta, Venerable Maha Moggallana, Venerable Maha Kassapa, Venerable Maha Kaccana, Venerable Anuruddha, Venerable Revata, Venerable Ananda, and other virtuous, respected elders and great disciples, all residing in the village of Five Sal Trees, near the Buddha's leaf hut. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 『You should go seeking the Dharma, not seeking food. Why is that? Because I have compassion for my disciples, and I wish for you to seek the Dharma, not to seek food. If you seek food and not the Dharma, you will degrade yourselves, and I will have no good reputation. If you seek the Dharma and not food, you will improve yourselves, and I will have a good reputation.』
「云何諸弟子為求飲食故而依佛行,非為求法?我飽食訖,食事已辦,猶有殘食,於後有二比丘來,飢渴力羸,我語彼曰:『我飽食訖,食事已辦,猶有殘食,汝等欲食者便取食之。若汝不取者,我便取以瀉著凈地,或復瀉著無蟲水中。』彼二比丘,第一比丘便作是念:『世尊食訖,食事已辦,猶有殘食,若我不取者,世尊必取瀉著凈地,或復瀉著無蟲水中,我今寧可取而食之。』即便取食。
「彼比丘取此食已,雖一日一夜樂而得安隱,但彼比丘因取此食故,不可佛意。所以者何?彼比丘因取此食故,不得少欲,不知厭足,不得易養,不得易滿,不得知時,不知節限,不得精進,不得宴坐,不得凈行,不得遠離,不得一心,不得精勤,亦不得涅槃。是以彼比丘因取此食故,不可佛意。是謂諸弟子為行求飲食故而依佛行,非為求法。
「云何諸弟子行求法,不行求飲食?彼二比丘,第二比丘便作是念:『世尊食訖,食事已辦,猶有殘食,若我不取者,世尊必取瀉著凈地,或復瀉著無蟲水中;又世尊說食中之下極者,謂殘餘食也,我今寧可不取此食。』作是念已,即便不取。
「彼比丘不取此食已,雖一日一夜苦而不安隱,但彼比丘因不取此食故,得可佛意。所以者何?彼比丘因不取此食故,得少欲,得知足,得易養,得易滿,得知時,得節限,得精進,得宴坐,得凈行,得遠離,得一心,得精勤,亦得涅槃。是以彼比丘因不取此食故,得可佛意。是謂諸弟子為行求法故而依佛行,非為求飲食
『為何有些弟子爲了尋求食物而追隨佛陀,而不是爲了尋求佛法?我吃飽飯後,飯食已經完畢,還剩下一些食物。之後來了兩位比丘,他們飢渴乏力。我告訴他們:『我已經吃飽飯了,飯食也已經完畢,還剩下一些食物,你們如果想吃就拿去吃吧。如果你們不拿,我就把它倒在乾淨的地上,或者倒在沒有蟲子的水中。』第一位比丘就想:『世尊吃完飯後,飯食已經完畢,還剩下一些食物,如果我不拿,世尊一定會把它倒在乾淨的地上,或者倒在沒有蟲子的水中,我不如拿來吃了吧。』於是就拿來吃了。 『這位比丘拿了這些食物后,雖然能有一天一夜的快樂和安穩,但是這位比丘因為拿了這些食物,不合佛陀的心意。為什麼呢?因為這位比丘拿了這些食物,就不能少欲,不知滿足,不能容易養活,不能容易滿足,不能知道時機,不知道節制,不能精進,不能靜坐,不能清凈修行,不能遠離塵囂,不能一心專注,不能精勤努力,也不能證得涅槃。因此,這位比丘因為拿了這些食物,不合佛陀的心意。這就是那些爲了尋求食物而追隨佛陀,而不是爲了尋求佛法的弟子。』 『為何有些弟子爲了尋求佛法而追隨佛陀,而不是爲了尋求食物?那兩位比丘中,第二位比丘就想:『世尊吃完飯後,飯食已經完畢,還剩下一些食物,如果我不拿,世尊一定會把它倒在乾淨的地上,或者倒在沒有蟲子的水中;而且世尊說過,食物中最下等的,就是剩下的食物,我不如不拿這些食物。』這樣想后,就沒拿。 『這位比丘沒拿這些食物后,雖然有一天一夜的痛苦和不安穩,但是這位比丘因為沒拿這些食物,就合佛陀的心意。為什麼呢?因為這位比丘沒拿這些食物,就能少欲,知足,容易養活,容易滿足,知道時機,知道節制,能精進,能靜坐,能清凈修行,能遠離塵囂,能一心專注,能精勤努力,也能證得涅槃。因此,這位比丘因為沒拿這些食物,就合佛陀的心意。這就是那些爲了尋求佛法而追隨佛陀,而不是爲了尋求食物的弟子。』
『Why do some disciples follow the Buddha for the sake of seeking food, and not for the sake of seeking the Dharma? After I have eaten my fill, and the meal is finished, there is still some food left over. Later, two monks come, weak from hunger and thirst. I say to them, 『I have eaten my fill, and the meal is finished, there is still some food left over. If you wish to eat, then take it. If you do not take it, I will take it and pour it onto clean ground, or pour it into water without insects.』 The first monk then thinks, 『The Blessed One has finished eating, and the meal is finished, there is still some food left over. If I do not take it, the Blessed One will surely take it and pour it onto clean ground, or pour it into water without insects. I might as well take it and eat it.』 And so he takes it and eats it. 『Having taken this food, although this monk may have a day and a night of happiness and peace, this monk, because of taking this food, is not in accordance with the Buddha's intention. Why is that? Because this monk, by taking this food, cannot have few desires, cannot know contentment, cannot be easily nourished, cannot be easily satisfied, cannot know the right time, cannot know moderation, cannot be diligent, cannot sit in meditation, cannot practice pure conduct, cannot be detached, cannot be single-minded, cannot be diligent, and cannot attain Nirvana. Therefore, this monk, because of taking this food, is not in accordance with the Buddha's intention. This is what it means for disciples to follow the Buddha for the sake of seeking food, and not for the sake of seeking the Dharma.』 『Why do some disciples follow the Buddha for the sake of seeking the Dharma, and not for the sake of seeking food? Of those two monks, the second monk thinks, 『The Blessed One has finished eating, and the meal is finished, there is still some food left over. If I do not take it, the Blessed One will surely take it and pour it onto clean ground, or pour it into water without insects; and the Blessed One has said that the lowest of foods is leftover food. I might as well not take this food.』 Having thought this, he does not take it. 『Having not taken this food, although this monk may have a day and a night of suffering and unease, this monk, because of not taking this food, is in accordance with the Buddha's intention. Why is that? Because this monk, by not taking this food, can have few desires, can know contentment, can be easily nourished, can be easily satisfied, can know the right time, can know moderation, can be diligent, can sit in meditation, can practice pure conduct, can be detached, can be single-minded, can be diligent, and can attain Nirvana. Therefore, this monk, because of not taking this food, is in accordance with the Buddha's intention. This is what it means for disciples to follow the Buddha for the sake of seeking the Dharma, and not for the sake of seeking food.』
於是,世尊告諸弟子:「若有法、律尊師樂住遠離,上弟子不樂住遠離者,彼法、律不饒益多人,多人不得樂,非為愍傷世間,亦非為天為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂。若有法、律尊師樂住遠離,中、下弟子不樂住遠離者,彼法、律不饒益多人,多人不得樂,非為愍傷世間,亦非為天為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂。若有法、律尊師樂住遠離,上弟子亦樂住遠離者,彼法、律饒益多人,多人得樂,為愍傷世間,亦為天為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂。若有法、律尊師樂住遠離,中、下弟子亦樂住遠離者,彼法、律饒益多人,多人得樂,為愍傷世間,亦為天為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂。」
是時,尊者舍梨子亦在眾中。彼時,世尊告曰:「舍梨子!汝為諸比丘說法如法,我患背痛,今欲小息。」
尊者舍梨子即受佛教:「唯然。世尊!」於是,世尊四疊優多羅僧以敷床上,卷僧伽梨作枕,右脅而臥,足足相累,作光明想,正念正智,常念欲起。
是時,尊者舍梨子告諸比丘:「諸賢!當知世尊向略說法。若有法、律尊師樂住遠離,上弟子不樂住遠離者,彼法、律不饒益多人,多人不得樂,不為愍傷世間,亦非為天為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂。若有法、律尊師樂住遠離,中、下弟子不樂住遠離者,彼法、律不饒益多人,多人不得樂,不為愍傷世間,亦非為天為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂。若有法、律尊師樂住遠離,上弟子亦樂住遠離者,彼法、律饒益多人,多人得樂,為愍傷世間,亦為天為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂
於是,世尊告訴眾弟子:『如果某個教法或戒律的導師喜歡獨處,而上等弟子不喜歡獨處,那麼這個教法或戒律就不能利益大眾,不能讓大眾感到快樂,不是爲了憐憫世間,也不是爲了天人和人類尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。如果某個教法或戒律的導師喜歡獨處,而中等和下等弟子不喜歡獨處,那麼這個教法或戒律就不能利益大眾,不能讓大眾感到快樂,不是爲了憐憫世間,也不是爲了天人和人類尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。如果某個教法或戒律的導師喜歡獨處,而上等弟子也喜歡獨處,那麼這個教法或戒律就能利益大眾,能讓大眾感到快樂,是爲了憐憫世間,也是爲了天人和人類尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。如果某個教法或戒律的導師喜歡獨處,而中等和下等弟子也喜歡獨處,那麼這個教法或戒律就能利益大眾,能讓大眾感到快樂,是爲了憐憫世間,也是爲了天人和人類尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。』 當時,尊者舍利子也在眾中。這時,世尊說道:『舍利子!你為眾比丘如法說法,我背痛,現在想休息一下。』 尊者舍利子立即接受佛的教誨:『是的,世尊!』於是,世尊將四層優多羅僧鋪在床上,捲起僧伽梨作枕頭,右側臥下,雙腳交疊,想著光明,保持正念正知,常常想著起身。 這時,尊者舍利子告訴眾比丘:『諸位賢者!應當知道世尊剛才略說了教法。如果某個教法或戒律的導師喜歡獨處,而上等弟子不喜歡獨處,那麼這個教法或戒律就不能利益大眾,不能讓大眾感到快樂,不是爲了憐憫世間,也不是爲了天人和人類尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。如果某個教法或戒律的導師喜歡獨處,而中等和下等弟子不喜歡獨處,那麼這個教法或戒律就不能利益大眾,不能讓大眾感到快樂,不是爲了憐憫世間,也不是爲了天人和人類尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。如果某個教法或戒律的導師喜歡獨處,而上等弟子也喜歡獨處,那麼這個教法或戒律就能利益大眾,能讓大眾感到快樂,是爲了憐憫世間,也是爲了天人和人類尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂。
Then, the World-Honored One told the disciples: 'If a teacher of a Dharma or Vinaya enjoys dwelling in seclusion, but the senior disciples do not enjoy dwelling in seclusion, then that Dharma or Vinaya does not benefit many people, does not bring happiness to many people, is not for the compassion of the world, nor is it for the sake of seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness. If a teacher of a Dharma or Vinaya enjoys dwelling in seclusion, but the middle and junior disciples do not enjoy dwelling in seclusion, then that Dharma or Vinaya does not benefit many people, does not bring happiness to many people, is not for the compassion of the world, nor is it for the sake of seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness. If a teacher of a Dharma or Vinaya enjoys dwelling in seclusion, and the senior disciples also enjoy dwelling in seclusion, then that Dharma or Vinaya benefits many people, brings happiness to many people, is for the compassion of the world, and is also for the sake of seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness. If a teacher of a Dharma or Vinaya enjoys dwelling in seclusion, and the middle and junior disciples also enjoy dwelling in seclusion, then that Dharma or Vinaya benefits many people, brings happiness to many people, is for the compassion of the world, and is also for the sake of seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness.' At that time, the Venerable Sariputra was also in the assembly. Then, the World-Honored One said: 'Sariputra! You preach the Dharma to the monks according to the Dharma. I have a backache and want to rest for a while now.' The Venerable Sariputra immediately accepted the Buddha's teaching: 'Yes, World-Honored One!' Then, the World-Honored One spread the four-layered uttarasanga on the bed, rolled up the sanghati as a pillow, lay down on his right side, with his feet overlapping, thinking of light, maintaining right mindfulness and right knowledge, and constantly thinking of getting up. At that time, the Venerable Sariputra told the monks: 'Virtuous ones! You should know that the World-Honored One has just briefly spoken about the Dharma. If a teacher of a Dharma or Vinaya enjoys dwelling in seclusion, but the senior disciples do not enjoy dwelling in seclusion, then that Dharma or Vinaya does not benefit many people, does not bring happiness to many people, is not for the compassion of the world, nor is it for the sake of seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness. If a teacher of a Dharma or Vinaya enjoys dwelling in seclusion, but the middle and junior disciples do not enjoy dwelling in seclusion, then that Dharma or Vinaya does not benefit many people, does not bring happiness to many people, is not for the compassion of the world, nor is it for the sake of seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness. If a teacher of a Dharma or Vinaya enjoys dwelling in seclusion, and the senior disciples also enjoy dwelling in seclusion, then that Dharma or Vinaya benefits many people, brings happiness to many people, is for the compassion of the world, and is also for the sake of seeking righteousness and benefit for gods and humans, seeking peace and happiness.'
。若有法、律尊師樂住遠離,中、下弟子亦樂住遠離者,彼法、律饒益多人,多人得樂,為愍傷世間,亦為天為人求義及饒益,求安隱快樂。然世尊說此法極略,汝等云何解義?云何廣分別?」
彼時,眾中或有比丘作如是說:「尊者舍梨子!若諸長老上尊自說:『我得究竟智,我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。』諸梵行者聞彼比丘自說我得究竟智,便得歡喜。」
復有比丘作如是說:「尊者舍梨子!若中、下弟子求愿無上涅槃,諸梵行者見彼行已,便得歡喜。如是彼比丘而說此義,不可尊者舍梨子意。」
尊者舍梨子告彼比丘:「諸賢等!聽我為汝說。諸賢!若有法、律尊師樂住遠離,上弟子不樂住遠離者,上弟子有三事可毀。云何為三?尊師樂住遠離,上弟子不學舍離,上弟子以此可毀。尊師若說可斷法,上弟子不斷彼法,上弟子以此可毀。所可受證,上弟子而舍方便,上弟子以此可毀。若有法、律尊師樂住遠離,上弟子不樂住遠離者,上弟子有此三事可毀。諸賢!若有法、律尊師樂住遠離,中、下弟子不樂住遠離者,中、下弟子有三事可毀。云何為三?尊師樂住遠離,中、下弟子不學舍離,中、下弟子以此可毀。尊師若說可斷法,中、下弟子不斷彼法,中、下弟子以此可毀。所可受證,中、下弟子而舍方便,中、下弟子以此可毀。若有法、律尊師樂住遠離,中、下弟子不樂住遠離者,中、下弟子有此三事可毀。
「諸賢!若有法、律尊師樂住遠離,上弟子亦樂住遠離者,上弟子有三事可稱
現代漢語譯本:如果有一套教法和戒律,導師喜歡獨處,而中等和下等的弟子也喜歡獨處,那麼這套教法和戒律就能利益很多人,讓很多人得到快樂,爲了憐憫世間,也爲了天人和人尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩和快樂。然而,世尊所說的這套教法非常簡略,你們如何理解它的含義?又如何詳細地解釋它呢?' 當時,僧團中有些比丘這樣說:'尊者舍利子!如果那些長老上座自己說:'我已經獲得了究竟的智慧,我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,不再受輪迴,如實地知道真理。'其他修行者聽到那位比丘說自己獲得了究竟的智慧,就會感到歡喜。' 又有比丘這樣說:'尊者舍利子!如果中等和下等的弟子尋求無上的涅槃,其他修行者看到他們的行為后,就會感到歡喜。像這樣,那位比丘所說的意思,恐怕不符合尊者舍利子的意思。' 尊者舍利子告訴那些比丘:'各位賢者!聽我為你們說。各位賢者!如果有一套教法和戒律,導師喜歡獨處,而上等的弟子不喜歡獨處,那麼上等的弟子有三件事可以被指責。哪三件事呢?導師喜歡獨處,上等的弟子不學習舍離,上等的弟子因此可以被指責。導師如果說可以斷除的法,上等的弟子不斷除那些法,上等的弟子因此可以被指責。對於可以證悟的境界,上等的弟子卻放棄了方便,上等的弟子因此可以被指責。如果有一套教法和戒律,導師喜歡獨處,而上等的弟子不喜歡獨處,那麼上等的弟子有這三件事可以被指責。各位賢者!如果有一套教法和戒律,導師喜歡獨處,而中等和下等的弟子不喜歡獨處,那麼中等和下等的弟子有三件事可以被指責。哪三件事呢?導師喜歡獨處,中等和下等的弟子不學習舍離,中等和下等的弟子因此可以被指責。導師如果說可以斷除的法,中等和下等的弟子不斷除那些法,中等和下等的弟子因此可以被指責。對於可以證悟的境界,中等和下等的弟子卻放棄了方便,中等和下等的弟子因此可以被指責。如果有一套教法和戒律,導師喜歡獨處,而中等和下等的弟子不喜歡獨處,那麼中等和下等的弟子有這三件事可以被指責。' 各位賢者!如果有一套教法和戒律,導師喜歡獨處,上等的弟子也喜歡獨處,那麼上等的弟子有三件事可以稱讚。
English version: 'If there is a Dharma and Vinaya where the teacher enjoys dwelling in seclusion, and the middle and lower disciples also enjoy dwelling in seclusion, then that Dharma and Vinaya benefits many people, brings happiness to many, is for the compassion of the world, and also for the sake of gods and humans seeking righteousness and benefit, seeking peace and happiness. However, the Dharma spoken by the World Honored One is very brief. How do you understand its meaning? And how do you explain it in detail?' At that time, some monks in the assembly said: 'Venerable Sariputra! If those elder monks themselves say: 'I have attained ultimate wisdom, my birth is exhausted, the pure conduct is established, what needs to be done is done, I will not be reborn, I know the truth as it is.' Other practitioners, upon hearing that monk say he has attained ultimate wisdom, will rejoice.' Another monk said: 'Venerable Sariputra! If middle and lower disciples seek the unsurpassed Nirvana, other practitioners, upon seeing their practice, will rejoice. In this way, the meaning spoken by that monk may not be in accordance with Venerable Sariputra's intention.' Venerable Sariputra told those monks: 'Good sirs! Listen to me as I speak to you. Good sirs! If there is a Dharma and Vinaya where the teacher enjoys dwelling in seclusion, and the upper disciples do not enjoy dwelling in seclusion, then the upper disciples have three things for which they can be criticized. What are the three? The teacher enjoys dwelling in seclusion, the upper disciples do not learn to abandon, the upper disciples can be criticized for this. If the teacher speaks of a Dharma that can be abandoned, the upper disciples do not abandon that Dharma, the upper disciples can be criticized for this. Regarding what can be realized, the upper disciples abandon the means, the upper disciples can be criticized for this.

尊者舍梨子復告諸比丘:「諸賢!有中道能得心住,得定得樂,順法次法,得通得覺,亦得涅槃。諸賢!云何有中道能得心住,得定得樂,順法次法,得通得覺,亦得涅槃?諸賢!念欲惡,惡念欲亦惡,彼斷念欲,亦斷惡念欲;如是恚、怨結、慳嫉、欺誑、諛諂、無慚、無愧、慢、最上慢、貢高、放逸、豪貴、憎諍。諸賢!貪亦惡,著亦惡,彼斷貪,亦斷著。諸賢!是謂中道能得心住,得定得樂,順法次法,得通得覺,亦得涅槃。
「諸賢!復有中道能得心住,得定得樂,順法次法,得通得覺,亦得涅槃。諸賢!云何復有中道能得心住,得定得樂,順法次法,得通得覺,亦得涅槃?謂八支聖道,正見乃至正定,是為八。諸賢!是謂復有中道能得心住,得定得樂,順法次法,得通得覺,亦得涅槃
現代漢語譯本:什麼是三種可稱道的行為?如果導師喜歡遠離喧囂,上等弟子也學習捨棄,這樣的上等弟子可以被稱道。如果導師講說應該斷除的法,上等弟子就斷除那些法,這樣的上等弟子可以被稱道。對於可以證悟的境界,上等弟子精進勤奮地學習,不放棄任何方便法門,這樣的上等弟子可以被稱道。諸位賢者!如果有一套法和律,導師喜歡遠離喧囂,上等弟子也喜歡遠離喧囂,那麼這樣的上等弟子有這三種可稱道的行為。諸位賢者!如果有一套法和律,導師喜歡遠離喧囂,中等和下等弟子也喜歡遠離喧囂,那麼這樣的中等和下等弟子有三種可稱道的行為。什麼是三種可稱道的行為?如果導師喜歡遠離喧囂,中等和下等弟子也學習捨棄,這樣的中等和下等弟子可以被稱道。如果導師講說應該斷除的法,中等和下等弟子就斷除那些法,這樣的中等和下等弟子可以被稱道。對於可以證悟的境界,中等和下等弟子精進勤奮地學習,不放棄任何方便法門,這樣的中等和下等弟子可以被稱道。諸位賢者!如果有一套法和律,導師喜歡遠離喧囂,中等和下等弟子也喜歡遠離喧囂,那麼這樣的中等和下等弟子有這三種可稱道的行為。 尊者舍利弗又告訴眾比丘:『諸位賢者!有一條中道可以使心安住,獲得禪定和快樂,順應正法,依次修行,獲得神通和覺悟,最終達到涅槃。諸位賢者!什麼是中道可以使心安住,獲得禪定和快樂,順應正法,依次修行,獲得神通和覺悟,最終達到涅槃呢?諸位賢者!對慾望的執念是惡,惡念的慾望也是惡,斷除對慾望的執念,也斷除惡唸的慾望;就像這樣,嗔恨、怨恨、嫉妒、慳吝、欺騙、諂媚、無慚、無愧、傲慢、極度傲慢、貢高、放逸、豪橫、爭鬥也是如此。諸位賢者!貪婪是惡,執著也是惡,斷除貪婪,也斷除執著。諸位賢者!這就是所謂的中道,可以使心安住,獲得禪定和快樂,順應正法,依次修行,獲得神通和覺悟,最終達到涅槃。』 『諸位賢者!還有一條中道可以使心安住,獲得禪定和快樂,順應正法,依次修行,獲得神通和覺悟,最終達到涅槃。諸位賢者!什麼是中道可以使心安住,獲得禪定和快樂,順應正法,依次修行,獲得神通和覺悟,最終達到涅槃呢?那就是八正道,即正見乃至正定,這八項。諸位賢者!這就是所謂的中道,可以使心安住,獲得禪定和快樂,順應正法,依次修行,獲得神通和覺悟,最終達到涅槃。』
English version: What are the three commendable qualities? If the teacher enjoys dwelling in seclusion, and the superior disciple also learns to relinquish, such a superior disciple is commendable. If the teacher speaks of a dharma that should be abandoned, and the superior disciple abandons that dharma, such a superior disciple is commendable. Regarding what can be realized, the superior disciple diligently studies and does not abandon any expedient means, such a superior disciple is commendable. Venerable ones! If there is a dharma and discipline where the teacher enjoys dwelling in seclusion, and the superior disciple also enjoys dwelling in seclusion, then such a superior disciple has these three commendable qualities. Venerable ones! If there is a dharma and discipline where the teacher enjoys dwelling in seclusion, and the middling and inferior disciples also enjoy dwelling in seclusion, then such middling and inferior disciples have three commendable qualities. What are the three commendable qualities? If the teacher enjoys dwelling in seclusion, and the middling and inferior disciples also learn to relinquish, such middling and inferior disciples are commendable. If the teacher speaks of a dharma that should be abandoned, and the middling and inferior disciples abandon that dharma, such middling and inferior disciples are commendable.

If there is a dharma and discipline where the teacher enjoys dwelling in seclusion, and the middling and inferior disciples also enjoy dwelling in seclusion, then such middling and inferior disciples have these three commendable qualities. Venerable Sariputta further told the bhikkhus: 'Venerable ones! There is a middle way that can lead to the settling of the mind, the attainment of concentration and joy, the accordance with the Dharma, the sequential practice, the attainment of supernormal powers and enlightenment, and ultimately to Nirvana. Venerable ones! What is the middle way that can lead to the settling of the mind, the attainment of concentration and joy, the accordance with the Dharma, the sequential practice, the attainment of supernormal powers and enlightenment, and ultimately to Nirvana? Venerable ones! The attachment to desire is evil, and the desire of evil thoughts is also evil. Abandoning the attachment to desire also abandons the desire of evil thoughts; just like that, hatred, resentment, jealousy, stinginess, deception, flattery, shamelessness, lack of conscience, arrogance, extreme arrogance, conceit, recklessness, haughtiness, and strife are also like that. Venerable ones! Greed is evil, and attachment is also evil. Abandoning greed also abandons attachment. Venerable ones! This is what is called the middle way that can lead to the settling of the mind, the attainment of concentration and joy, the accordance with the Dharma, the sequential practice, the attainment of supernormal powers and enlightenment, and ultimately to Nirvana.' 'Venerable ones! There is another middle way that can lead to the settling of the mind, the attainment of concentration and joy, the accordance with the Dharma, the sequential practice, the attainment of supernormal powers and enlightenment, and ultimately to Nirvana. Venerable ones! What is the middle way that can lead to the settling of the mind, the attainment of concentration and joy, the accordance with the Dharma, the sequential practice, the attainment of supernormal powers and enlightenment, and ultimately to Nirvana? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely right view to right concentration, these eight. Venerable ones! This is what is called the middle way that can lead to the settling of the mind, the attainment of concentration and joy, the accordance with the Dharma, the sequential practice, the attainment of supernormal powers and enlightenment, and ultimately to Nirvana.'
於是,世尊所患即除而得安隱,從臥寤起,結跏趺坐,嘆尊者舍梨子:「善哉!善哉!舍梨子為諸比丘說法如法。舍梨子!汝當復為諸比丘說法如法。舍梨子!汝當數數為諸比丘說法如法。」
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「汝等當共受法如法,誦習執持。所以者何?此法如法,有法有義,為梵行本,得通得覺,亦得涅槃。諸族姓子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,此法如法,當善受持。」

一時,佛游王舍城,在竹林迦蘭哆園,與大比丘眾俱,受夏坐。
爾時,尊者大目揵連告諸比丘:「諸賢!若有比丘請諸比丘,諸尊,語我、教我、訶我,莫難於我。所以者何?諸賢!或有一人戾語,成就戾語法,成就戾語法故,令諸梵行者不語彼,不教、不訶而難彼人。諸賢!何者戾語法?若有成就戾語法者,諸梵行者不語彼,不教、不訶而難彼人。諸賢!或有一人惡欲、念欲。諸賢!若有人惡欲、念欲者,是謂戾語法
於是,世尊的病痛立即消除,恢復了安穩,從睡夢中醒來,結跏趺坐,讚歎尊者舍利子:『太好了!太好了!舍利子為眾比丘說法,符合正法。舍利子!你應當再次為眾比丘說法,符合正法。舍利子!你應當多次為眾比丘說法,符合正法。』 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『你們應當共同接受正法,誦讀、學習並堅持奉行。為什麼呢?因為這正法,有法理,有意義,是清凈修行的根本,能夠通達、覺悟,也能達到涅槃。那些出身于各個家族的子弟,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信仰,捨棄家庭,離開世俗,學習佛道的人,應當好好接受並奉行這正法。』 佛陀如此說道。尊者舍利子和眾比丘,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地接受並奉行。 《求法經》第二篇結束(二千二百八十六字) 《中阿含經》卷第二十二(七千四百八十二字)(第二小土城誦) 《中阿含經》卷第二十三 (八九)《穢品比丘請經》第三(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在王舍城游化,住在竹林迦蘭哆園,與眾多比丘一起,安居過夏。 當時,尊者大目犍連告訴眾比丘:『諸位賢者!如果有比丘請求其他比丘,說:『諸位尊者,請告訴我、教導我、呵責我,不要為難我。』為什麼呢?諸位賢者!或許有人說話乖戾,行為也乖戾,因為行為乖戾,導致其他修行者不與他交談,不教導、不呵責,反而為難他。諸位賢者!什麼是乖戾的行為呢?如果有人行為乖戾,其他修行者就不與他交談,不教導、不呵責,反而為難他。諸位賢者!或許有人有惡欲、有貪念。諸位賢者!如果有人有惡欲、有貪念,這就是所謂的乖戾行為。
Then, the World-Honored One's illness was immediately cured and he regained peace. He awoke from his sleep, sat in the lotus position, and praised the Venerable Shariputra: 'Excellent! Excellent! Shariputra, you preach the Dharma to the monks in accordance with the Dharma. Shariputra! You should preach the Dharma to the monks again in accordance with the Dharma. Shariputra! You should preach the Dharma to the monks many times in accordance with the Dharma.' At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'You should all receive the Dharma in accordance with the Dharma, recite it, learn it, and uphold it. Why is that? Because this Dharma is in accordance with the Dharma, it has principles and meaning, it is the foundation of pure practice, it can lead to understanding and enlightenment, and it can also lead to Nirvana. Those sons of good families who shave their heads and beards, wear the monastic robes, with firm faith, leave their homes, abandon worldly life, and study the path, should receive and uphold this Dharma well.' The Buddha spoke thus. The Venerable Shariputra and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. The second chapter of 'Seeking the Dharma Sutra' ends (2,286 words) The twenty-second scroll of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' (7,482 words) (Recited at the Second Small Earth City) The twenty-third scroll of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' (89) The Third 'Sutra of the Bhikkhu's Request in the Defilement Chapter' (Recited at the Second Small Earth City) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Rajagriha, residing in the Bamboo Grove Kalandaka Garden, together with a large assembly of monks, observing the summer retreat. At that time, the Venerable Mahamoggallana told the monks: 'Friends! If there is a monk who asks other monks, saying: 'Venerable ones, please tell me, teach me, and rebuke me, do not make it difficult for me.' Why is that? Friends! Perhaps there is someone who speaks perversely and acts perversely. Because of their perverse actions, other practitioners do not speak to them, do not teach or rebuke them, but instead make it difficult for them. Friends! What are perverse actions? If someone acts perversely, other practitioners will not speak to them, will not teach or rebuke them, but instead make it difficult for them. Friends! Perhaps there is someone with evil desires and lustful thoughts. Friends! If someone has evil desires and lustful thoughts, this is what is called perverse actions.'

「諸賢!若比丘如是觀者,必多所饒益,我為惡欲、念欲,為不惡欲、念欲耶?諸賢!若比丘觀時,則知我是惡欲、念欲者,則不歡悅,便求欲斷。諸賢!若比丘觀時,則知我無惡欲、不念欲者,即便歡悅,我自清凈,求學尊法,是故歡悅。諸賢!猶有目人以鏡自照,則見其面凈及不凈。諸賢!若有目人見面有垢者,則不歡悅,便求欲洗。諸賢!若有目人見面無垢者,即便歡悅我面清凈,是故歡悅。
「諸賢!若比丘觀時,則知我行惡欲、念欲者,則不歡悅,便求欲斷。諸賢!若比丘觀時,則知我不行惡欲、不念欲者,即便歡悅,我自清凈,求學尊法,是故歡悅
現代漢語譯本:諸位賢者!如果有人不忘恩情、知道感恩,這被稱為善語。諸位賢者!這就是所謂的善語。如果有人成就了善語,那麼其他修行者會善意地對待他,善意地教導他、善意地責備他,不會為難他。諸位賢者!比丘應當這樣自我反省。 諸位賢者!如果有人沒有邪惡的慾望、沒有執著的慾望,我喜歡這個人;如果我沒有邪惡的慾望、沒有執著的慾望,他也會喜歡我。比丘應當這樣觀察,不去做邪惡的慾望、不執著于慾望,應當這樣學習。像這樣不以染污的行為對待染污,不以不說話來固執己見,不欺騙、不諂媚,不吝嗇、不嫉妒,不無慚愧之心,不懷有嗔恨、邪惡的意念,不說嗔恨的話語,不責備其他比丘,不輕慢其他比丘,不揭露其他比丘的隱私,不互相迴避而談論無關的事情,不因不說話而使嗔恨、憎惡的情緒高漲,不與惡友、惡伴侶為伍,不忘恩、不知恩。諸位賢者!如果有人不忘恩情、知道感恩,我喜歡這個人;如果我不忘恩情、知道感恩,他也會喜歡我。比丘應當這樣觀察,不忘恩情、知道感恩,應當這樣學習。 諸位賢者!如果比丘這樣觀察,必定會獲得很多益處,我是在邪惡的慾望中、執著于慾望中,還是不在邪惡的慾望中、不執著于慾望中呢?諸位賢者!如果比丘觀察時,知道自己是在邪惡的慾望中、執著于慾望中,就不會感到歡喜,就會尋求斷除這些慾望。諸位賢者!如果比丘觀察時,知道自己沒有邪惡的慾望、不執著于慾望,就會感到歡喜,我自身清凈,尋求學習高尚的佛法,因此感到歡喜。諸位賢者!就像有眼睛的人用鏡子照自己,就能看到自己的臉是乾淨還是不乾淨。諸位賢者!如果一個有眼睛的人看到自己的臉上有污垢,就不會感到歡喜,就會尋求清洗。諸位賢者!如果一個有眼睛的人看到自己的臉上沒有污垢,就會感到歡喜,我的臉是乾淨的,因此感到歡喜。 諸位賢者!如果比丘觀察時,知道自己正在做邪惡的慾望、執著于慾望,就不會感到歡喜,就會尋求斷除這些慾望。諸位賢者!如果比丘觀察時,知道自己沒有做邪惡的慾望、不執著于慾望,就會感到歡喜,我自身清凈,尋求學習高尚的佛法,因此感到歡喜。
English version: Venerable ones! If someone is not ungrateful and knows gratitude, this is called good speech. Venerable ones! This is what is called good speech. If someone achieves good speech, then other practitioners will speak kindly to him, teach him kindly, and rebuke him kindly, and will not make things difficult for him. Venerable ones! A bhikkhu should reflect on himself in this way. Venerable ones! If someone does not have evil desires and does not cling to desires, I like that person; if I do not have evil desires and do not cling to desires, he will also like me. A bhikkhu should observe in this way, not engage in evil desires, and not cling to desires, and should learn in this way. Like this, not treating defilement with defiled actions, not being stubborn by not speaking, not deceiving, not flattering, not being stingy, not being jealous, not being without shame, not harboring anger and evil intentions, not speaking angry words, not rebuking other bhikkhus, not looking down on other bhikkhus, not revealing the secrets of other bhikkhus, not avoiding each other and talking about irrelevant things, not letting anger and hatred rise because of not speaking, not associating with bad friends and bad companions, not being ungrateful and not knowing gratitude. Venerable ones! If someone is not ungrateful and knows gratitude, I like that person; if I am not ungrateful and know gratitude, he will also like me. A bhikkhu should observe in this way, not being ungrateful and knowing gratitude, and should learn in this way. Venerable ones! If a bhikkhu observes in this way, he will surely gain many benefits. Am I in evil desires and clinging to desires, or am I not in evil desires and not clinging to desires? Venerable ones! If a bhikkhu observes and knows that he is in evil desires and clinging to desires, he will not feel joy and will seek to abandon these desires. Venerable ones! If a bhikkhu observes and knows that he does not have evil desires and does not cling to desires, he will feel joy, that he is pure, and will seek to learn the noble Dharma, and therefore feel joy. Venerable ones! Just like a person with eyes uses a mirror to look at himself, he can see whether his face is clean or unclean. Venerable ones! If a person with eyes sees that his face is dirty, he will not feel joy and will seek to wash it. Venerable ones! If a person with eyes sees that his face is clean, he will feel joy, that his face is clean, and therefore feel joy. Venerable ones! If a bhikkhu observes and knows that he is engaging in evil desires and clinging to desires, he will not feel joy and will seek to abandon these desires. Venerable ones! If a bhikkhu observes and knows that he is not engaging in evil desires and not clinging to desires, he will feel joy, that he is pure, and will seek to learn the noble Dharma, and therefore feel joy.
。如是我為染行染,為不染行染;為不語結住,為不不語結住;為欺誑諛諂,為不欺誑諛諂;為慳貪嫉妒,為不慳貪嫉妒;為無慚無愧,為不無慚無愧;為瞋弊惡意,為不瞋弊惡意;為瞋瞋語言,為不瞋瞋語言;為訶比丘訶,為不訶比丘訶;為訶比丘輕慢,為不訶比丘輕慢;為訶比丘發露,為不訶比丘發露;為更互相避,為不更互相避;為說外事,為不說外事;為不語、瞋恚、憎嫉熾盛,為不不語、瞋恚、憎嫉熾盛;為惡朋友、惡伴侶,為不惡朋友、惡伴侶;為無恩、不知恩,為不無恩,不知恩耶?諸賢!若比丘觀時,則知我無恩、不知恩者,則不歡悅,便求欲斷。諸賢!若比丘觀時,則知我不無恩、不知恩者,即便歡悅,我自清凈,求學尊法,是故歡悅。諸賢!猶有目人以鏡自照,則見其面凈及不凈。諸賢!若有目人見面有垢者,則不歡悅,便求欲洗。諸賢!若有目人見面無垢者,即便歡悅我面清凈,是故歡悅。
「諸賢!如是若比丘觀時,則知我無恩、不知恩者,則不歡悅,便求欲斷。諸賢!若比丘觀時,則知我不無恩、不知恩者,即便歡悅,我自清凈,求學尊法,是故歡悅。因歡悅故,便得歡喜。因歡喜故,便得止身。因止身故,便得覺樂。因覺樂故,便得定心。諸賢!多聞聖弟子因定心故,便見如實、知如真。因見如實、知如真故,便得厭。因厭故,便得無慾。因無慾故,便得解脫。因解脫故,便得知解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。」
尊者大目揵連所說如是。彼諸比丘聞尊者大目揵連所說,歡喜奉行
現代漢語譯本:『如果我行事是受污染的,或者是不受污染的;如果我保持沉默是出於執著,或者不是出於執著;如果我欺騙、諂媚,或者不欺騙、不諂媚;如果我吝嗇、貪婪、嫉妒,或者不吝嗇、不貪婪、不嫉妒;如果我不知羞恥、沒有慚愧心,或者不是不知羞恥、沒有慚愧心;如果我懷有嗔恨、邪惡的意念,或者不懷有嗔恨、邪惡的意念;如果我用嗔恨的語言,或者不用嗔恨的語言;如果我呵斥比丘,或者不呵斥比丘;如果我輕慢比丘,或者不輕慢比丘;如果我揭露比丘的過失,或者不揭露比丘的過失;如果我互相躲避,或者不互相躲避;如果我說外道的事情,或者不說外道的事情;如果我沉默、嗔恨、憎恨熾盛,或者不是沉默、嗔恨、憎恨熾盛;如果我是惡友、惡伴侶,或者不是惡友、惡伴侶;如果我沒有恩情、不知恩,或者不是沒有恩情、不知恩呢?諸位賢者!如果比丘觀察自己時,發現自己沒有恩情、不知恩,就會不高興,就會尋求斷除這些缺點。諸位賢者!如果比丘觀察自己時,發現自己不是沒有恩情、不知恩,就會高興,因為自己清凈,尋求學習尊貴的佛法,所以高興。諸位賢者!就像有眼睛的人用鏡子照自己,會看到自己的臉乾淨或者不乾淨。諸位賢者!如果一個有眼睛的人看到自己的臉上有污垢,就會不高興,就會尋求清洗。諸位賢者!如果一個有眼睛的人看到自己的臉上沒有污垢,就會高興,因為自己的臉是乾淨的,所以高興。 『諸位賢者!同樣,如果比丘觀察自己時,發現自己沒有恩情、不知恩,就會不高興,就會尋求斷除這些缺點。諸位賢者!如果比丘觀察自己時,發現自己不是沒有恩情、不知恩,就會高興,因為自己清凈,尋求學習尊貴的佛法,所以高興。因為高興,就會得到歡喜。因為歡喜,就會得到身心的平靜。因為身心的平靜,就會感受到快樂。因為感受到快樂,就會得到心的安定。諸位賢者!多聞的聖弟子因為心的安定,就會如實地看見、如實地知道。因為如實地看見、如實地知道,就會產生厭離。因為厭離,就會產生無慾。因為無慾,就會得到解脫。因為解脫,就會知道自己已經解脫,生死已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不再受後有,如實地知道。』 尊者大目犍連所說的就是這樣。那些比丘聽了尊者大目犍連所說的話,都歡喜地奉行。
English version: 'If I act with defilement, or without defilement; if I remain silent out of attachment, or not out of attachment; if I deceive and flatter, or do not deceive and flatter; if I am stingy, greedy, and jealous, or not stingy, greedy, and jealous; if I am shameless and without a sense of shame, or not shameless and without a sense of shame; if I harbor anger, evil intentions, or do not harbor anger, evil intentions; if I use angry language, or do not use angry language; if I rebuke a bhikkhu, or do not rebuke a bhikkhu; if I look down on a bhikkhu, or do not look down on a bhikkhu; if I expose a bhikkhu's faults, or do not expose a bhikkhu's faults; if I avoid each other, or do not avoid each other; if I talk about external matters, or do not talk about external matters; if I am silent, angry, and full of hatred, or not silent, angry, and full of hatred; if I am a bad friend and companion, or not a bad friend and companion; if I am ungrateful and do not know gratitude, or not ungrateful and know gratitude? Venerable ones! If a bhikkhu observes himself and finds that he is ungrateful and does not know gratitude, he will be unhappy and will seek to abandon these faults. Venerable ones! If a bhikkhu observes himself and finds that he is not ungrateful and knows gratitude, he will be happy, because he is pure and seeks to learn the noble Dharma, therefore he is happy. Venerable ones! Just as a person with eyes looks at himself in a mirror and sees whether his face is clean or unclean. Venerable ones! If a person with eyes sees that his face is dirty, he will be unhappy and will seek to wash it. Venerable ones! If a person with eyes sees that his face is clean, he will be happy, because his face is clean, therefore he is happy.' 'Venerable ones! Similarly, if a bhikkhu observes himself and finds that he is ungrateful and does not know gratitude, he will be unhappy and will seek to abandon these faults. Venerable ones! If a bhikkhu observes himself and finds that he is not ungrateful and knows gratitude, he will be happy, because he is pure and seeks to learn the noble Dharma, therefore he is happy. Because of happiness, he will attain joy. Because of joy, he will attain tranquility of body and mind. Because of tranquility of body and mind, he will experience pleasure. Because of experiencing pleasure, he will attain concentration of mind. Venerable ones! A well-learned noble disciple, because of concentration of mind, will see and know things as they truly are. Because of seeing and knowing things as they truly are, he will develop aversion. Because of aversion, he will develop non-attachment. Because of non-attachment, he will attain liberation. Because of liberation, he will know that he is liberated, that birth is exhausted, the holy life is lived, what had to be done is done, and there is no more rebirth, he knows this as it truly is.' Thus spoke the venerable Mahā Moggallāna. Those bhikkhus, having heard what the venerable Mahā Moggallāna said, were delighted and practiced accordingly.
比丘請經第三竟(千五百六十三字)
(九〇)中阿含穢品知法經第四(第二小土城誦)
我聞如是:一時,佛游拘舍彌在瞿師羅園。
爾時,尊者周那告諸比丘:「若有比丘作如是說:『我知諸法所可知法而無增伺。』然彼賢者心生惡增伺而住,如是諍訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳、嫉、欺誑、諛諂、無慚、無愧,無惡欲、惡見;然彼賢者心生惡欲、惡見而住。諸梵行人知彼賢者不知諸法所可知法而無增伺。所以者何?以彼賢者心生增伺而住,如是諍訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳、嫉、欺誑、諛諂、無慚、無愧,無惡欲、惡見。所以者何?以彼賢者心生惡欲、惡見而住。
「諸賢!猶人不富自稱說富,亦無國封說有國封,又無畜牧說有畜牧,若欲用時,則無金、銀、真珠、琉璃、水精、琥珀,無畜牧、米穀,亦無奴婢。諸親朋友往詣彼所,而作是說:『汝實不富自稱說富,亦無國封說有國封,又無畜牧說有畜牧,然欲用時,則無金、銀、真珠、琉璃、水精、琥珀,無畜牧、米穀,亦無奴婢。』如是。諸賢!若有比丘作如是說:『我知諸法所可知法而無增伺。』然彼賢者心生惡增伺而住,如是諍訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳、嫉、欺誑、諛諂、無慚、無愧,無惡欲、惡見;然彼賢者心生惡欲、惡見而住。諸梵行人知彼賢者不知諸法所可知法而無增伺。所以者何?以彼賢者心不向增伺盡、無餘涅槃,如是諍訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳、嫉、欺誑、諛諂、無慚、無愧,無惡欲、惡見。所以者何?以彼賢者心不向惡見法盡、無餘涅槃
比丘請經第三結束(一千五百六十三字)
我聽聞是這樣:一時,佛陀在拘舍彌的瞿師羅園游化。
當時,尊者周那告訴眾比丘:『如果有比丘這樣說:「我瞭解一切應該瞭解的法,並且沒有增伺。」然而那位賢者心中生起惡的增伺而安住,像這樣爭訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳吝、嫉妒、欺誑、諂媚、無慚、無愧,沒有惡欲、惡見;然而那位賢者心中生起惡欲、惡見而安住。所有梵行者都知道那位賢者不瞭解一切應該瞭解的法,並且沒有增伺。為什麼呢?因為那位賢者心中生起增伺而安住,像這樣爭訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳吝、嫉妒、欺誑、諂媚、無慚、無愧,沒有惡欲、惡見。為什麼呢?因為那位賢者心中生起惡欲、惡見而安住。』
『諸位賢者!就像有人不富有卻自稱富有,也沒有國封卻說有國封,又沒有畜牧卻說有畜牧,如果想要用的時候,就沒有金、銀、珍珠、琉璃、水晶、琥珀,沒有畜牧、米穀,也沒有奴婢。親朋好友前往他那裡,然後這樣說:「你其實不富有卻自稱富有,也沒有國封卻說有國封,又沒有畜牧卻說有畜牧,然而想要用的時候,就沒有金、銀、珍珠、琉璃、水晶、琥珀,沒有畜牧、米穀,也沒有奴婢。」也是這樣。諸位賢者!如果有比丘這樣說:「我瞭解一切應該瞭解的法,並且沒有增伺。」然而那位賢者心中生起惡的增伺而安住,像這樣爭訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳吝、嫉妒、欺誑、諂媚、無慚、無愧,沒有惡欲、惡見;然而那位賢者心中生起惡欲、惡見而安住。所有梵行者都知道那位賢者不瞭解一切應該瞭解的法,並且沒有增伺。為什麼呢?因為那位賢者的心不趨向增伺的滅盡、無餘涅槃,像這樣爭訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳吝、嫉妒、欺誑、諂媚、無慚、無愧,沒有惡欲、惡見。為什麼呢?因為那位賢者的心不趨向惡見法的滅盡、無餘涅槃。』
The Third Sutra of the Bhikshu's Request Ends (1563 words)
(90) The Fourth Sutra on Knowing the Dharma in the Middle Agama, the Filth Chapter (Second Small Earth City Recitation)
Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Kosambi, in Ghosita's Park.
At that time, the venerable Chunda addressed the monks: 'If there is a monk who says, 「I know all the dharmas that should be known, and I have no proliferation of thought,」 yet that worthy one dwells with evil proliferation of thought arising in his mind, such as disputes, hatred, anger, entanglement of anger, the knot of not speaking, stinginess, jealousy, deceit, flattery, shamelessness, lack of conscience, no evil desire, and evil views; yet that worthy one dwells with evil desire and evil views arising in his mind. All those who practice the holy life know that that worthy one does not know all the dharmas that should be known, and has no proliferation of thought. Why is that? Because that worthy one dwells with proliferation of thought arising in his mind, such as disputes, hatred, anger, entanglement of anger, the knot of not speaking, stinginess, jealousy, deceit, flattery, shamelessness, lack of conscience, no evil desire, and evil views. Why is that? Because that worthy one dwells with evil desire and evil views arising in his mind.'
'Venerable ones! Just as a person who is not rich claims to be rich, and has no royal seal but says he has a royal seal, and has no livestock but says he has livestock, and when he wants to use them, he has no gold, silver, pearls, lapis lazuli, crystal, amber, no livestock, no rice, and no servants. Friends and relatives go to him and say, 「You are not actually rich but claim to be rich, and you have no royal seal but say you have a royal seal, and you have no livestock but say you have livestock, and when you want to use them, you have no gold, silver, pearls, lapis lazuli, crystal, amber, no livestock, no rice, and no servants.」 It is the same. Venerable ones! If there is a monk who says, 「I know all the dharmas that should be known, and I have no proliferation of thought,」 yet that worthy one dwells with evil proliferation of thought arising in his mind, such as disputes, hatred, anger, entanglement of anger, the knot of not speaking, stinginess, jealousy, deceit, flattery, shamelessness, lack of conscience, no evil desire, and evil views; yet that worthy one dwells with evil desire and evil views arising in his mind. All those who practice the holy life know that that worthy one does not know all the dharmas that should be known, and has no proliferation of thought. Why is that? Because that worthy one's mind does not incline towards the cessation of proliferation of thought, to the remainderless Nirvana, such as disputes, hatred, anger, entanglement of anger, the knot of not speaking, stinginess, jealousy, deceit, flattery, shamelessness, lack of conscience, no evil desire, and evil views. Why is that? Because that worthy one's mind does not incline towards the cessation of evil views, to the remainderless Nirvana.'
「諸賢!或有比丘不作是說:『我知諸法所可知法而無增伺。』然彼賢者心不生惡增伺而住,如是諍訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳、嫉、欺誑、諛諂、無慚、無愧,無惡欲、惡見,然彼賢者心不生惡欲、惡見而住。諸梵行人知彼賢者實知諸法所可知法而無增伺。所以者何?以彼賢者心不生惡增伺而住,如是諍訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳、嫉、欺誑、諛諂、無慚、無愧,無惡欲、惡見。所以者何?以彼賢者心不生惡欲、惡見而住。
「諸賢!猶人大富自說不富,亦有國封說無國封,又有畜牧說無畜牧,若欲用時,則有金、銀、真珠、琉璃、水精、琥珀,有畜牧、米穀,亦有奴婢。諸親朋友往詣彼所,作如是說:『汝實大富自說不富,亦有國封說無國封,又有畜牧說無畜牧,然欲用時,則有金、銀、真珠、琉璃、水精、琥珀,有畜牧、米穀,亦有奴婢。』如是。諸賢!若有比丘不作是說:『我知諸法所可知法而無增伺。』然彼賢者心不生惡增伺而住,如是諍訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳、嫉、欺誑、諛諂、無慚、無愧,無惡欲、惡見,然彼賢者心不生惡欲、惡見而住。諸梵行人知彼賢者知諸法所可知法而無增伺。所以者何?以彼賢者心向增伺盡、無餘涅槃,如是諍訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳、嫉、欺誑、諛諂、無慚、無愧,無惡欲、惡見。所以者何?以彼賢者心向惡見法盡、無餘涅槃。」
尊者周那所說如是。彼諸比丘聞尊者周那所說,歡喜奉行
『諸位賢者!或許有比丘不這樣說:』我瞭解所有應該瞭解的法,並且沒有增加任何臆測。『然而,這位賢者心中不產生邪惡的臆測,並安住於此。像這樣的爭論、怨恨、嗔怒、纏縛、不語的結、吝嗇、嫉妒、欺騙、諂媚、無慚、無愧,以及邪惡的慾望和邪惡的見解,這位賢者心中都不產生,並安住於此。其他修行者知道這位賢者確實瞭解所有應該瞭解的法,並且沒有增加任何臆測。這是為什麼呢?因為這位賢者心中不產生邪惡的臆測,並安住於此。像這樣的爭論、怨恨、嗔怒、纏縛、不語的結、吝嗇、嫉妒、欺騙、諂媚、無慚、無愧,以及邪惡的慾望和邪惡的見解,這位賢者心中都不產生。這是為什麼呢?因為這位賢者心中不產生邪惡的慾望和邪惡的見解,並安住於此。 『諸位賢者!就像一個非常富有的人說自己不富有,擁有封地的人說自己沒有封地,擁有畜牧的人說自己沒有畜牧。但當他想用的時候,他有金、銀、珍珠、琉璃、水晶、琥珀,有畜牧、米穀,也有奴婢。他的親朋好友來到他那裡,這樣說:』你實際上非常富有,卻說自己不富有;你擁有封地,卻說自己沒有封地;你擁有畜牧,卻說自己沒有畜牧。但當你想用的時候,你有金、銀、珍珠、琉璃、水晶、琥珀,有畜牧、米穀,也有奴婢。『也是如此。諸位賢者!如果有一個比丘不這樣說:』我瞭解所有應該瞭解的法,並且沒有增加任何臆測。『然而,這位賢者心中不產生邪惡的臆測,並安住於此。像這樣的爭論、怨恨、嗔怒、纏縛、不語的結、吝嗇、嫉妒、欺騙、諂媚、無慚、無愧,以及邪惡的慾望和邪惡的見解,這位賢者心中都不產生,並安住於此。其他修行者知道這位賢者瞭解所有應該瞭解的法,並且沒有增加任何臆測。這是為什麼呢?因為這位賢者的心傾向於滅盡臆測,達到無餘涅槃。像這樣的爭論、怨恨、嗔怒、纏縛、不語的結、吝嗇、嫉妒、欺騙、諂媚、無慚、無愧,以及邪惡的慾望和邪惡的見解,都已滅盡。這是為什麼呢?因為這位賢者的心傾向於滅盡邪惡見解,達到無餘涅槃。』 尊者周那所說的就是這樣。那些比丘聽了尊者周那所說的話,都歡喜地奉行。
'Venerable ones! There might be a bhikkhu who does not say: 『I know all that is to be known of the Dhamma, and I have no added speculation.』 Yet, that venerable one』s mind does not give rise to evil speculation and abides thus. Such as disputes, hatred, anger, entanglement, the knot of not speaking, stinginess, jealousy, deceit, flattery, shamelessness, lack of conscience, evil desires, and evil views, that venerable one』s mind does not give rise to, and abides thus. The other Brahmacārins know that this venerable one truly knows all that is to be known of the Dhamma, and has no added speculation. Why is that? Because that venerable one』s mind does not give rise to evil speculation and abides thus. Such as disputes, hatred, anger, entanglement, the knot of not speaking, stinginess, jealousy, deceit, flattery, shamelessness, lack of conscience, evil desires, and evil views, that venerable one』s mind does not give rise to. Why is that? Because that venerable one』s mind does not give rise to evil desires and evil views, and abides thus. 'Venerable ones! It is like a very wealthy person who says he is not wealthy, or one with a kingdom who says he has no kingdom, or one with livestock who says he has no livestock. But when he wants to use them, he has gold, silver, pearls, lapis lazuli, crystal, amber, livestock, rice, and also servants. His relatives and friends come to him and say: 『You are actually very wealthy, but you say you are not wealthy; you have a kingdom, but you say you have no kingdom; you have livestock, but you say you have no livestock. But when you want to use them, you have gold, silver, pearls, lapis lazuli, crystal, amber, livestock, rice, and also servants.』 It is the same. Venerable ones! If there is a bhikkhu who does not say: 『I know all that is to be known of the Dhamma, and I have no added speculation.』 Yet, that venerable one』s mind does not give rise to evil speculation and abides thus. Such as disputes, hatred, anger, entanglement, the knot of not speaking, stinginess, jealousy, deceit, flattery, shamelessness, lack of conscience, evil desires, and evil views, that venerable one』s mind does not give rise to, and abides thus. The other Brahmacārins know that this venerable one knows all that is to be known of the Dhamma, and has no added speculation. Why is that? Because that venerable one』s mind is inclined towards the cessation of speculation, reaching the remainderless Nibbāna. Such as disputes, hatred, anger, entanglement, the knot of not speaking, stinginess, jealousy, deceit, flattery, shamelessness, lack of conscience, evil desires, and evil views, all have ceased. Why is that? Because that venerable one』s mind is inclined towards the cessation of evil views, reaching the remainderless Nibbāna.』 Thus spoke the venerable Cunda. Those bhikkhus, having heard what the venerable Cunda said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

(九一)中阿含穢品周那問見經第五(第二小土城誦)
於是,尊者大周那則于晡時從宴坐起,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,卻坐一面,白曰:「世尊!世中諸見生而生,謂計有神,計有眾生,有人、有壽、有命、有世。世尊!云何知,云何見,令此見得滅、得舍離,而令余見不續,不受耶?」
彼時,世尊告曰:「周那!世中諸見生而生,謂計有神,計有眾生,有人、有壽、有命、有世。周那!若使諸法滅盡無餘者,如是知、如是見,令此見得滅、得舍離,而令余見不續、不受,當學漸損。
「周那!于聖法、律中,何者漸損?比丘者,離欲、離惡不善之法,至得第四禪成就游,彼作是念:『我行漸損。』周那!于聖法、律中,不但是漸損,有四增上心現法樂居,行者從是起而復還入,彼作是念:『我行漸損。』周那!于聖法、律中,不但是漸損,比丘者度一切色想,至得非有想非無想處成就游,彼作是念:『我行漸損。』周那!于聖法、律中不但是漸損,有四息解脫,離色得無色,行者從是起當爲他說,彼作是念:『我行漸損。』

《知法經》第四完(八百八十一字) (九一)《中阿含經·穢品·周那問見經》第五(第二小土城誦) 這時,尊者大周那在傍晚時分從禪定中起身,前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,然後坐在一旁,說道:『世尊!世間各種見解產生,例如認為有神,認為有眾生,認為有人、有壽命、有生命、有世界。世尊!如何知曉,如何看待,才能使這些見解得以滅除、得以捨棄,並且使其他見解不再延續、不再接受呢?』 那時,世尊告訴他說:『周那!世間各種見解產生,例如認為有神,認為有眾生,認為有人、有壽命、有生命、有世界。周那!如果能使一切法滅盡無餘,這樣知曉、這樣看待,就能使這些見解得以滅除、得以捨棄,並且使其他見解不再延續、不再接受,應當學習逐漸減少。』 『周那!在聖法、律中,什麼是逐漸減少呢?比丘離開慾望、離開邪惡不善之法,直至證得第四禪成就而住,他會這樣想:『我的修行正在逐漸減少。』周那!在聖法、律中,不僅僅是逐漸減少,還有四種增上心現法樂住,修行者從這裡起身又重新進入,他會這樣想:『我的修行正在逐漸減少。』周那!在聖法、律中,不僅僅是逐漸減少,比丘超越一切色想,直至證得非有想非無想處成就而住,他會這樣想:『我的修行正在逐漸減少。』周那!在聖法、律中,不僅僅是逐漸減少,還有四種息解脫,離開色界而證得無色界,修行者從這裡起身,當爲他人宣說,他會這樣想:『我的修行正在逐漸減少。』 『周那!在聖法、律中,不僅僅是逐漸減少。周那!他人有惡欲、念欲,我沒有惡欲、念欲,應當學習逐漸減少。周那!他人有嗔恨的意念,我沒有嗔恨的意念,應當學習逐漸減少。周那!他人有殺生、偷盜、非梵行,我沒有非梵行,應當學習逐漸減少。周那!他人有增盛的尋伺、爭鬥的意念、被睡眠所纏縛、驕慢而有疑惑,我沒有疑惑,應當學習逐漸減少。』
The fourth chapter of the 'Knowing the Dharma Sutra' is complete (881 words). (91) The fifth 'Cunda's Inquiry on Views Sutra' of the 'Defilement Section' in the 'Middle Length Discourses' (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Kosambi, residing in Ghosita's Park. Then, the venerable Mahacunda, in the late afternoon, arose from his meditation and went to where the Buddha was. He bowed down at the Buddha's feet, sat to one side, and said: 'Venerable Sir, various views arise in the world, such as the belief in a god, the belief in living beings, the belief in a person, in a lifespan, in a life, and in a world. Venerable Sir, how should one know, how should one see, so that these views may be extinguished and abandoned, and so that other views may not continue or be accepted?' At that time, the Buddha said to him: 'Cunda, various views arise in the world, such as the belief in a god, the belief in living beings, the belief in a person, in a lifespan, in a life, and in a world. Cunda, if one can make all dharmas cease without remainder, knowing and seeing in this way, these views can be extinguished and abandoned, and other views will not continue or be accepted. One should learn to gradually diminish.' 'Cunda, in the holy Dharma and Discipline, what is gradual diminishing? A bhikkhu, having abandoned desire, having abandoned evil and unwholesome dharmas, attains and abides in the fourth jhana. He thinks: 'My practice is gradually diminishing.' Cunda, in the holy Dharma and Discipline, it is not only gradual diminishing, there are also four abidings in the present life with heightened mind and joy. The practitioner arises from these and returns to them. He thinks: 'My practice is gradually diminishing.' Cunda, in the holy Dharma and Discipline, it is not only gradual diminishing, a bhikkhu, having transcended all perceptions of form, attains and abides in the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception. He thinks: 'My practice is gradually diminishing.' Cunda, in the holy Dharma and Discipline, it is not only gradual diminishing, there are four cessations of liberation, having abandoned form and attained the formless realms. The practitioner arises from these and speaks of them to others. He thinks: 'My practice is gradually diminishing.' 'Cunda, in the holy Dharma and Discipline, it is not only gradual diminishing. Cunda, others have evil desires and thoughts of desire, I have no evil desires or thoughts of desire. One should learn to gradually diminish. Cunda, others have harmful intentions and anger, I have no harmful intentions or anger. One should learn to gradually diminish. Cunda, others engage in killing, stealing, and unchaste conduct, I have no unchaste conduct. One should learn to gradually diminish. Cunda, others have increased speculation, contentious thoughts, are bound by sleep, are arrogant and have doubts, I have no doubts. One should learn to gradually diminish.'

周那問見經第五竟(千五百七十五字)
(九二)中阿含穢品青白蓮華喻經第六(第二小土城誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「或有法從身滅,不從口滅;或有法從口滅,不從身滅;或有法不從身口滅,但以慧見滅。
「云何法從身滅,不從口滅?比丘者,有不善身行充滿,具足受持著身,諸比丘見已,訶彼比丘:『賢者!不善身行充滿,具足受持,何爲著身?賢者!可舍不善身行,修習善身行。』彼於後時,舍不善身行,修習善身行,是謂法從身滅,不從口滅。
「云何法從口滅,不從身滅?比丘者,不善口行充滿,具足受持著口,諸比丘見已呵彼比丘:『賢者!不善口行充滿,具足受持,何爲著口?賢者!可舍不善口行,修習善口行。』彼於後時,舍不善口行,修習善口行,是謂法從口滅,不從身滅
現代漢語譯本:不勤于學習的人,把博學多聞當作涅槃。不觀察各種善法的人,把觀察善法當作涅槃。行為不合法度、作惡的人,把行持正法妙行當作涅槃。說妄語、挑撥離間、說粗惡語、說花言巧語、持惡戒的人,把持守善戒當作涅槃。不信、懈怠、沒有正念、沒有禪定、沒有智慧的人,把擁有智慧當作涅槃。 『周那,這就是我為你說的漸損之法,已說了發心之法,已說了對治之法,已說了提升之法,已說了涅槃之法。如同尊師對弟子生起大慈悲心,哀憐、關懷、憐憫,爲了他們的利益和安樂,我已做了這些。你們也應當自己努力,到無人的地方,山林樹下,空曠安靜之處,坐禪思惟,不要放逸,勤加精進,不要後悔。這是我的教誨,是我的訓誡。』 佛陀說完這些話。尊者大周那和眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜奉行。 《周那問見經》第五篇結束(一千五百七十五字) (九二)《中阿含經·穢品·青白蓮花喻經》第六篇(第二小土城誦) 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有些法是從身體上滅除,不是從口中滅除;有些法是從口中滅除,不是從身體上滅除;有些法不是從身口滅除,而是通過智慧觀察而滅除。』 『什麼法是從身體上滅除,不是從口中滅除呢?比丘如果充滿不善的身行,執著于身體,其他比丘看到后,會呵責這位比丘:『賢者,你充滿不善的身行,執著于身體,為什麼這樣?賢者,你應該捨棄不善的身行,修習善的身行。』這位比丘之後捨棄不善的身行,修習善的身行,這就是法從身體上滅除,不是從口中滅除。 『什麼法是從口中滅除,不是從身體上滅除呢?比丘如果充滿不善的口行,執著于口,其他比丘看到后,會呵責這位比丘:『賢者,你充滿不善的口行,執著于口,為什麼這樣?賢者,你應該捨棄不善的口行,修習善的口行。』這位比丘之後捨棄不善的口行,修習善的口行,這就是法從口中滅除,不是從身體上滅除。
English version: Those who do not learn much, take much learning as Nirvana. Those who do not observe good dharmas, take observing good dharmas as Nirvana. Those who act unlawfully and do evil, take practicing the wonderful dharma as Nirvana. Those who lie, speak divisively, speak harshly, speak frivolously, and hold evil precepts, take holding good precepts as Nirvana. Those who lack faith, are lazy, lack mindfulness, lack concentration, and lack wisdom, take having wisdom as Nirvana. 'Thus, Juna! I have spoken to you of the gradual diminishing of defilements, I have spoken of the arising of aspiration, I have spoken of the counteracting practices, I have spoken of the ascending practices, and I have spoken of the practices leading to Nirvana. Just as a respected teacher has great compassion, pity, and concern for his disciples, seeking their benefit, welfare, peace, and happiness, I have done so. You too should strive yourselves, go to secluded places, under trees in forests, in empty and quiet places, sit in meditation and contemplate, do not be negligent, diligently strive, and do not regret it later. This is my teaching, this is my instruction.' The Buddha spoke thus. Venerable Juna and the other monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The fifth chapter, 'Juna's Questions and Views Sutra,' is concluded (1575 words). (92) The sixth chapter, 'The Lotus Flower Simile Sutra' from the 'Impurity' section of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' (recited by the second small earth city). At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Shravasti, at the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, the World Honored One said to the monks: 'There are some dharmas that are extinguished from the body, but not from the mouth; there are some dharmas that are extinguished from the mouth, but not from the body; and there are some dharmas that are not extinguished from the body or the mouth, but are extinguished through the observation of wisdom.' 'What are the dharmas that are extinguished from the body, but not from the mouth? If a monk is full of unwholesome bodily actions, clinging to the body, and other monks see this and rebuke him, saying: 'Venerable one, you are full of unwholesome bodily actions, clinging to the body, why is this so? Venerable one, you should abandon unwholesome bodily actions and cultivate wholesome bodily actions.' Later, that monk abandons unwholesome bodily actions and cultivates wholesome bodily actions. This is said to be a dharma extinguished from the body, but not from the mouth. 'What are the dharmas that are extinguished from the mouth, but not from the body? If a monk is full of unwholesome verbal actions, clinging to the mouth, and other monks see this and rebuke him, saying: 'Venerable one, you are full of unwholesome verbal actions, clinging to the mouth, why is this so? Venerable one, you should abandon unwholesome verbal actions and cultivate wholesome verbal actions.' Later, that monk abandons unwholesome verbal actions and cultivates wholesome verbal actions. This is said to be a dharma extinguished from the mouth, but not from the body.'
「云何法不從身口滅,但以慧見滅?增伺不從身口滅,但以慧見滅,如是諍訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳、嫉、欺誑、諛諂、無慚、無愧,惡欲、惡見,不從身口滅,但以慧見滅。是謂法不從身口滅,但以慧見滅。
「如來或有觀,觀他人心,知此人不如是修身、修戒、修心、修慧,如修身,修戒、修心、修慧,得滅增伺。所以者何?以此人心生惡增伺而住,如是諍訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳、嫉、欺誑、諛諂、無慚、無愧,得滅惡欲、惡見。所以者何?以此人心生惡欲、惡見而住。知此人如是修身、修戒、修心、修慧,如修身,修戒、修心、修慧,得滅增伺。所以者何?以此人心不生惡增伺而住,如是諍訟、恚恨、瞋纏、不語結、慳、嫉、欺誑、諛諂、無慚、無愧,得滅惡欲、惡見。所以者何?以此人心不生惡欲、惡見而住。猶如青蓮華,紅、赤、白蓮花,水生水長,出水上,不著水。如是,如來世間生、世間長,出世間行,不著世間法。所以者何?如來、無所著、等正覺,出一切世間。」
爾時,尊者阿難執拂侍佛。於是,尊者阿難叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!此經當名何?云何受持?」
於是,世尊告曰:「阿難!此經名為『青白蓮華喻』,汝當如是善受持誦。」
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「汝等當共受此青白蓮花喻經,誦習守持。所以者何?此青白蓮華喻經,如法有義,是梵行本,致通、致覺,亦致涅槃。若族姓子,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,應當受此青白蓮華喻經,善諷誦持。」
『什麼法不是從身口行為上滅除,而是通過智慧的觀察來滅除呢?』『增伺』不是從身口行為上滅除,而是通過智慧的觀察來滅除。同樣,爭訟、恚恨、嗔怒、不語的束縛、慳吝、嫉妒、欺騙、諂媚、無慚、無愧、惡欲、惡見,都不是從身口行為上滅除,而是通過智慧的觀察來滅除。這就是所謂的法不是從身口行為上滅除,而是通過智慧的觀察來滅除。 『如來有時會觀察他人的心,知道這個人沒有像那樣修身、修戒、修心、修慧。如果他像那樣修身、修戒、修心、修慧,就能滅除增伺。為什麼呢?因為這個人心中生起惡的增伺而安住。同樣,爭訟、恚恨、嗔怒、不語的束縛、慳吝、嫉妒、欺騙、諂媚、無慚、無愧,都能滅除惡欲、惡見。為什麼呢?因為這個人心中生起惡欲、惡見而安住。』如來知道這個人如果像那樣修身、修戒、修心、修慧,就能滅除增伺。為什麼呢?因為這個人心中不生起惡的增伺而安住。同樣,爭訟、恚恨、嗔怒、不語的束縛、慳吝、嫉妒、欺騙、諂媚、無慚、無愧,都能滅除惡欲、惡見。為什麼呢?因為這個人心中不生起惡欲、惡見而安住。』就像青蓮花、紅蓮花、赤蓮花、白蓮花,在水中生長,從水中長出,浮在水面上,不沾染水。同樣,如來在世間出生,在世間成長,在世間修行,不沾染世間法。為什麼呢?因為如來無所執著,是等正覺,超越一切世間。』 當時,尊者阿難拿著拂塵侍奉佛陀。於是,尊者阿難合掌向佛,說道:『世尊!這部經應當叫什麼名字?我們應當如何受持?』 於是,世尊告訴阿難:『阿難!這部經名為『青白蓮花喻』,你應當好好地受持誦讀。』 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『你們應當共同受持這部《青白蓮花喻經》,誦習守持。為什麼呢?這部《青白蓮花喻經》,如法有義,是梵行的根本,能達到通達、覺悟,也能達到涅槃。如果善男子,剃除鬚髮,穿著袈裟,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家學道,應當受持這部《青白蓮花喻經》,好好地諷誦受持。』
'What dharma is not extinguished through bodily and verbal actions, but through the insight of wisdom?' 'Increased thoughts' are not extinguished through bodily and verbal actions, but through the insight of wisdom. Similarly, disputes, hatred, anger, the fetter of silence, stinginess, jealousy, deceit, flattery, shamelessness, lack of conscience, evil desires, and evil views are not extinguished through bodily and verbal actions, but through the insight of wisdom. This is what is meant by dharma not being extinguished through bodily and verbal actions, but through the insight of wisdom. 'The Tathagata sometimes observes the minds of others and knows that this person is not cultivating their body, precepts, mind, and wisdom in the way they should. If they were to cultivate their body, precepts, mind, and wisdom in that way, they would extinguish increased thoughts. Why is that? Because this person dwells with evil increased thoughts arising in their mind. Similarly, disputes, hatred, anger, the fetter of silence, stinginess, jealousy, deceit, flattery, shamelessness, and lack of conscience can extinguish evil desires and evil views. Why is that? Because this person dwells with evil desires and evil views arising in their mind.' The Tathagata knows that if this person were to cultivate their body, precepts, mind, and wisdom in that way, they would extinguish increased thoughts. Why is that? Because this person does not dwell with evil increased thoughts arising in their mind. Similarly, disputes, hatred, anger, the fetter of silence, stinginess, jealousy, deceit, flattery, shamelessness, and lack of conscience can extinguish evil desires and evil views. Why is that? Because this person does not dwell with evil desires and evil views arising in their mind. Just like blue lotuses, red lotuses, crimson lotuses, and white lotuses, which grow in water, emerge from the water, and float above the water without being stained by it. Similarly, the Tathagata is born in the world, grows in the world, practices in the world, and is not stained by worldly dharmas. Why is that? Because the Tathagata is without attachment, is fully enlightened, and transcends all worlds.' At that time, the Venerable Ananda was attending to the Buddha, holding a fan. Then, the Venerable Ananda, with his palms together, addressed the Buddha, saying, 'World Honored One! What should this sutra be called? How should we uphold it?' Then, the World Honored One said to Ananda, 'Ananda! This sutra is called the 'Parable of the Blue and White Lotus Flower.' You should uphold and recite it well.' At that time, the World Honored One said to the monks, 'You should all together uphold this 'Parable of the Blue and White Lotus Flower Sutra,' recite it, and keep it in mind. Why is that? This 'Parable of the Blue and White Lotus Flower Sutra' is in accordance with the Dharma and has meaning. It is the foundation of the pure life, leading to understanding, enlightenment, and also to Nirvana. If a son of a good family, having shaved his head and beard, wearing the monastic robe, with sincere faith, leaves home, and becomes a homeless seeker of the Way, he should uphold this 'Parable of the Blue and White Lotus Flower Sutra' and recite it well.' The Buddha spoke thus.

一時,佛游郁鞞羅尼連然河岸,在阿耶和羅尼拘類樹下,初得道時。
於是,有一水凈梵志,中后仿佯往詣佛所。世尊遙見水凈梵志來,因水凈梵志故,告諸比丘:「若有二十一穢污於心者,必至惡處,生地獄中。云何二十一穢?邪見心穢、非法欲心穢、惡貪心穢、邪法心穢、貪心穢、恚心穢、睡眠心穢、調悔心穢、疑惑心穢、瞋纏心穢、不語結心穢、慳心穢、嫉心穢、欺誑心穢、諛諂心穢、無慚心穢、無愧心穢、慢心穢、大慢心穢、慢慠心穢、放逸心穢。若有此二十一穢污於心者,必至惡處,生地獄中。猶垢膩衣持與染家,彼染家得,或以淳灰、或以澡豆、或以土漬極浣,令凈此垢膩衣。染家雖治,或以淳灰、或以澡豆、或以土漬極浣令凈,然此污衣故有穢色。如是,若有二十一穢污於心者,必至惡處,生地獄中。云何二十一穢?邪見心穢、非法欲心穢、惡貪心穢、邪法心穢、貪心穢、恚心穢、睡眠心穢、調悔心穢、疑惑心穢、瞋纏心穢、不語結心穢、慳心穢、嫉心穢、欺誑心穢、諛諂心穢、無慚心穢、無愧心穢、慢心穢、大慢心穢、慢慠心穢、放逸心穢。若有此二十一穢污於心者,必至惡處,生地獄中。

(九三)《中阿含經·穢品·水凈梵志經》第七(第二小土城誦)
一時,佛陀在郁鞞羅尼連禪河岸邊的阿耶和羅尼拘類樹下,那是他初次得道的時候。
當時,有一位名叫水凈的婆羅門,在午後徘徊著來到佛陀所在的地方。世尊遠遠地看見水凈婆羅門走來,就因為水凈婆羅門的原故,告訴各位比丘:『如果心中有二十一種污穢,必定會墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。哪二十一種污穢呢?邪見的心穢、非法慾望的心穢、惡貪的心穢、邪法的心穢、貪婪的心穢、嗔恚的心穢、睡眠的心穢、懊悔的心穢、疑惑的心穢、嗔恨纏縛的心穢、不說話結怨的心穢、慳吝的心穢、嫉妒的心穢、欺騙的心穢、諂媚的心穢、無慚的心穢、無愧的心穢、傲慢的心穢、大傲慢的心穢、傲慢自大的心穢、放逸的心穢。如果心中有這二十一種污穢,必定會墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。就像沾滿污垢的衣服拿給染匠,染匠得到后,或者用純灰、或者用皂莢、或者用泥土浸泡,極力洗滌,使這件污垢的衣服乾淨。染匠雖然處理過,或者用純灰、或者用皂莢、或者用泥土浸泡,極力洗滌使之乾淨,但這件污垢的衣服仍然有污穢的顏色。同樣,如果心中有這二十一種污穢,必定會墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。哪二十一種污穢呢?邪見的心穢、非法慾望的心穢、惡貪的心穢、邪法的心穢、貪婪的心穢、嗔恚的心穢、睡眠的心穢、懊悔的心穢、疑惑的心穢、嗔恨纏縛的心穢、不說話結怨的心穢、慳吝的心穢、嫉妒的心穢、欺騙的心穢、諂媚的心穢、無慚的心穢、無愧的心穢、傲慢的心穢、大傲慢的心穢、傲慢自大的心穢、放逸的心穢。如果心中有這二十一種污穢,必定會墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。』
『如果心中沒有二十一種污穢,必定會到達善處,生於天上。』
Venerable Ananda and all the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it.
The Sixth Sutra of the Simile of the Blue and White Lotus is complete (703 words).
(93) The Seventh Sutra of the Water-Cleansing Brahmin in the Defilement Chapter of the Middle Length Discourses (Second Small City Recitation)
At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on the bank of the Nairanjana River in Uruvela, under the Ajapala Nigrodha tree, at the time of his first enlightenment.
Then, a Brahmin named Water-Cleansing, after midday, wandered to where the Buddha was. The World-Honored One, seeing Water-Cleansing Brahmin coming from afar, because of Water-Cleansing Brahmin, told the monks: 'If there are twenty-one defilements in the mind, one will surely go to an evil place and be born in hell. What are the twenty-one defilements? The defilement of wrong view, the defilement of unlawful desire, the defilement of evil greed, the defilement of wrong dharma, the defilement of greed, the defilement of hatred, the defilement of sleepiness, the defilement of remorse, the defilement of doubt, the defilement of the fetter of anger, the defilement of not speaking and holding grudges, the defilement of stinginess, the defilement of jealousy, the defilement of deceit, the defilement of flattery, the defilement of shamelessness, the defilement of lack of conscience, the defilement of pride, the defilement of great pride, the defilement of arrogant pride, the defilement of negligence. If there are these twenty-one defilements in the mind, one will surely go to an evil place and be born in hell. Just like a dirty garment given to a dyer, the dyer, having received it, either with pure ash, or with soap beans, or with mud soaking, washes it thoroughly, making this dirty garment clean. Although the dyer treats it, either with pure ash, or with soap beans, or with mud soaking, washing it thoroughly to make it clean, this dirty garment still has a dirty color. Likewise, if there are these twenty-one defilements in the mind, one will surely go to an evil place and be born in hell. What are the twenty-one defilements? The defilement of wrong view, the defilement of unlawful desire, the defilement of evil greed, the defilement of wrong dharma, the defilement of greed, the defilement of hatred, the defilement of sleepiness, the defilement of remorse, the defilement of doubt, the defilement of the fetter of anger, the defilement of not speaking and holding grudges, the defilement of stinginess, the defilement of jealousy, the defilement of deceit, the defilement of flattery, the defilement of shamelessness, the defilement of lack of conscience, the defilement of pride, the defilement of great pride, the defilement of arrogant pride, the defilement of negligence. If there are these twenty-one defilements in the mind, one will surely go to an evil place and be born in hell.'
'If there are not twenty-one defilements in the mind, one will surely go to a good place and be born in heaven.'
。云何二十一穢?邪見心穢、非法欲心穢、惡貪心穢、邪法心穢、貪心穢、恚心穢、睡眠心穢、調悔心穢、疑惑心穢、瞋纏心穢、不語心心穢、慳心穢、嫉心穢、欺誑心穢、諛諂心穢、無慚心穢、無愧心穢、慢心穢、大慢心穢、憍慠心穢、放逸心穢。若有此二十一穢不污心者,必至善處,生於天上。猶如白凈波羅奈衣持與染家,彼染家得,或以淳灰、或以澡豆、或以土漬極浣令凈;此白凈波羅奈衣,染家雖治,或以淳灰、或以澡豆、或以土漬極浣令凈,然此白凈波羅奈衣本已凈而復凈。如是若有二十一穢不污心者,必至善處,生於天上。云何二十一穢?邪見心穢、非法欲心穢、惡貪心穢、邪法心穢、貪心穢、恚心穢、睡眠心穢、調悔心穢、疑惑心穢、瞋纏心穢、不語結心穢、慳心穢、嫉心穢、欺誑心穢、諛諂心穢、無慚心穢、無愧心穢、慢心穢、大慢心穢、憍慠心穢、放逸心穢。若有此二十一穢不污心者,必至善處,生於天上。
「若知邪見是心穢者,知已便斷。如是非法欲心穢、惡貪心穢、邪法心穢、貪心穢、恚心穢、睡眠心穢、調悔心穢、疑惑心穢、瞋纏心穢、不語結心穢、慳心穢、嫉心穢、欺誑心穢、諛諂心穢、無慚心穢、無愧心穢、慢心穢、大慢心穢、憍慠心穢,若知放逸是心穢者,知已便斷,彼心與慈俱,遍滿十方成就游。如是二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與慈俱,無結、無怨、無恚、無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。如是,悲、喜心與舍俱,無結、無怨、無恚、無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游
現代漢語譯本:什麼是二十一種心垢?邪見的心垢、非法慾望的心垢、惡貪的心垢、邪法的心垢、貪婪的心垢、嗔恚的心垢、睡眠的心垢、懊悔的心垢、疑惑的心垢、嗔恨纏縛的心垢、不語的心垢、慳吝的心垢、嫉妒的心垢、欺騙的心垢、諂媚的心垢、無慚的心垢、無愧的心垢、傲慢的心垢、大傲慢的心垢、驕傲自滿的心垢、放逸的心垢。如果有人不受這二十一種心垢污染,必定會到達善處,往生天上。就像潔白的波羅奈布匹被拿去給染色的人家,染色的人家得到后,或者用純凈的灰、或者用澡豆、或者用泥土浸泡,極力洗滌使之潔凈;這潔白的波羅奈布匹,染色的人家雖然處理過,或者用純凈的灰、或者用澡豆、或者用泥土浸泡,極力洗滌使之潔凈,然而這潔白的波羅奈布匹本來就潔凈,又變得更加潔凈。如此,如果有人不受這二十一種心垢污染,必定會到達善處,往生天上。什麼是二十一種心垢?邪見的心垢、非法慾望的心垢、惡貪的心垢、邪法的心垢、貪婪的心垢、嗔恚的心垢、睡眠的心垢、懊悔的心垢、疑惑的心垢、嗔恨纏縛的心垢、不語結的心垢、慳吝的心垢、嫉妒的心垢、欺騙的心垢、諂媚的心垢、無慚的心垢、無愧的心垢、傲慢的心垢、大傲慢的心垢、驕傲自滿的心垢、放逸的心垢。如果有人不受這二十一種心垢污染,必定會到達善處,往生天上。 『如果知道邪見是心垢,知道后就斷除。像這樣,非法慾望的心垢、惡貪的心垢、邪法的心垢、貪婪的心垢、嗔恚的心垢、睡眠的心垢、懊悔的心垢、疑惑的心垢、嗔恨纏縛的心垢、不語結的心垢、慳吝的心垢、嫉妒的心垢、欺騙的心垢、諂媚的心垢、無慚的心垢、無愧的心垢、傲慢的心垢、大傲慢的心垢、驕傲自滿的心垢,如果知道放逸是心垢,知道后就斷除,他的心與慈愛同在,遍滿十方,成就遊行。像這樣,二方、三方、四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心與慈愛同在,沒有結縛、沒有怨恨、沒有嗔恚、沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間,成就遊行。像這樣,悲心、喜心與舍心同在,沒有結縛、沒有怨恨、沒有嗔恚、沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間,成就遊行。』
English version: What are the twenty-one defilements of the mind? The defilement of the mind of wrong views, the defilement of the mind of unlawful desires, the defilement of the mind of evil greed, the defilement of the mind of wrong teachings, the defilement of the mind of greed, the defilement of the mind of anger, the defilement of the mind of sleepiness, the defilement of the mind of regret, the defilement of the mind of doubt, the defilement of the mind of anger's entanglement, the defilement of the mind of not speaking, the defilement of the mind of stinginess, the defilement of the mind of jealousy, the defilement of the mind of deceit, the defilement of the mind of flattery, the defilement of the mind of shamelessness, the defilement of the mind of lack of conscience, the defilement of the mind of arrogance, the defilement of the mind of great arrogance, the defilement of the mind of conceit, the defilement of the mind of negligence. If one's mind is not defiled by these twenty-one defilements, one will surely reach a good place and be born in heaven. It is like a pure white Benares cloth being taken to a dyer's house. The dyer, having received it, might use pure ashes, or soap beans, or soil to soak and thoroughly wash it clean. This pure white Benares cloth, though treated by the dyer with pure ashes, soap beans, or soil, and thoroughly washed clean, was originally pure and becomes even purer. Likewise, if one's mind is not defiled by these twenty-one defilements, one will surely reach a good place and be born in heaven. What are the twenty-one defilements of the mind? The defilement of the mind of wrong views, the defilement of the mind of unlawful desires, the defilement of the mind of evil greed, the defilement of the mind of wrong teachings, the defilement of the mind of greed, the defilement of the mind of anger, the defilement of the mind of sleepiness, the defilement of the mind of regret, the defilement of the mind of doubt, the defilement of the mind of anger's entanglement, the defilement of the mind of not speaking, the defilement of the mind of stinginess, the defilement of the mind of jealousy, the defilement of the mind of deceit, the defilement of the mind of flattery, the defilement of the mind of shamelessness, the defilement of the mind of lack of conscience, the defilement of the mind of arrogance, the defilement of the mind of great arrogance, the defilement of the mind of conceit, the defilement of the mind of negligence. If one's mind is not defiled by these twenty-one defilements, one will surely reach a good place and be born in heaven. 『If one knows that wrong views are a defilement of the mind, having known it, one abandons it. Likewise, the defilement of the mind of unlawful desires, the defilement of the mind of evil greed, the defilement of the mind of wrong teachings, the defilement of the mind of greed, the defilement of the mind of anger, the defilement of the mind of sleepiness, the defilement of the mind of regret, the defilement of the mind of doubt, the defilement of the mind of anger's entanglement, the defilement of the mind of not speaking, the defilement of the mind of stinginess, the defilement of the mind of jealousy, the defilement of the mind of deceit, the defilement of the mind of flattery, the defilement of the mind of shamelessness, the defilement of the mind of lack of conscience, the defilement of the mind of arrogance, the defilement of the mind of great arrogance, the defilement of the mind of conceit, if one knows that negligence is a defilement of the mind, having known it, one abandons it. That mind is accompanied by loving-kindness, pervading the ten directions, accomplishing the journey. Likewise, in two, three, four directions, the four intermediate directions, above and below, universally pervading all, the mind is accompanied by loving-kindness, without fetters, without hatred, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world, accomplishing the journey. Likewise, the mind of compassion, joy, and equanimity is accompanied by equanimity, without fetters, without hatred, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world, accomplishing the journey.』
。梵志!是謂洗浴內心,非浴外身。」
爾時,梵志語世尊曰:「瞿曇!可詣多水河浴。」
世尊問曰:「梵志!若詣多水河浴者,彼得何等?」
梵志答曰:「瞿曇!彼多水河者,此是世間齋潔之相、度相、福相。瞿曇!若詣多水河浴者,彼則凈除於一切惡。」
爾時,世尊為彼梵志而說頌曰:
「妙好首梵志, 若入多水河, 是愚常遊戲, 不能凈黑業。 好首何往泉, 何義多水河, 人作不善業, 清水何所益? 凈者無垢穢, 凈者常說戒, 凈者清白業, 常得清凈行。 若汝不殺生, 常不與不取, 真諦不妄語, 常正念正知。 梵志如是學, 一切眾生安, 梵志何還家, 家泉無所凈。 梵志汝當學, 凈洗以善法, 何須弊惡水, 但去身體垢。」 梵志白佛曰: 「我亦作是念, 凈洗以善法, 何須弊惡水。」 梵志聞佛教, 心中大歡喜, 即時禮佛足, 歸命佛法眾。
梵志白曰:「世尊!我已知。善逝!我已解。我今自歸佛、法及比丘眾,唯愿世尊受我為優婆塞,從今日始,終身自歸,乃至命盡。」
佛說如是。好首水凈梵志及諸比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九四)中阿含穢品黑比丘經第八(第二小土城誦)
一時,佛游舍衛國,在東園鹿母堂。
是時,黑比丘鹿母子常喜斗諍,往詣佛所
現代漢語譯本:『婆羅門!這才是洗滌內心,而不是洗滌外身。』 當時,婆羅門對世尊說:『喬達摩!可以去多水河沐浴。』 世尊問道:『婆羅門!如果去多水河沐浴,能得到什麼呢?』 婆羅門回答說:『喬達摩!那多水河是世間齋戒、度脫、福德的象徵。喬達摩!如果去多水河沐浴,就能清除一切罪惡。』 當時,世尊為那婆羅門說了偈頌: 『妙首婆羅門啊,如果進入多水河,那只是愚人常做的遊戲,不能洗凈黑業。 妙首啊,何必去泉水,何必去多水河?如果人做了不善的業,清水又有什麼用呢? 清凈的人沒有污垢,清凈的人常說戒律,清凈的人行為清白,常能得到清凈的修行。 如果你不殺生,不偷盜,不說謊,常保持正念正知。 婆羅門如果這樣學習,一切眾生都能安樂,婆羅門何必還家,家裡的泉水不能洗凈什麼。 婆羅門你應當學習,用善法來洗凈,何必用污濁的水,只是去除身體的污垢罷了。』 婆羅門對佛說:『我也是這樣想的,用善法來洗凈,何必用污濁的水。』 婆羅門聽了佛的教誨,心中非常歡喜,立刻禮拜佛足,歸依佛、法、僧三寶。 婆羅門說道:『世尊!我已經知道了。善逝!我已經明白了。我現在歸依佛、法以及比丘僧眾,唯愿世尊接受我為優婆塞,從今天開始,終身歸依,直到生命結束。』 佛陀如是說。好首水凈婆羅門以及眾比丘,聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 《水凈梵志經》第七完(一千二百一十字) (九四)《中阿含穢品黑比丘經》第八(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在舍衛國游化,住在東園鹿母堂。 當時,黑比丘鹿母子常常喜歡爭鬥,前往佛陀所在之處。
English version: 'Brahmin! This is called washing the inner mind, not washing the outer body.' At that time, the Brahmin said to the World-Honored One, 'Gautama! It is possible to go to the river with much water to bathe.' The World-Honored One asked, 'Brahmin! If one goes to the river with much water to bathe, what does one obtain?' The Brahmin replied, 'Gautama! That river with much water is a symbol of worldly fasting, deliverance, and blessings. Gautama! If one goes to the river with much water to bathe, one will purify all evil.' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke a verse for that Brahmin: 'O Brahmin with the fine head, if you enter the river with much water, it is just a game that fools often play, and it cannot purify black karma. O fine head, why go to the spring, why go to the river with much water? If a person does unwholesome deeds, what benefit is there from clear water? The pure one has no defilement, the pure one always speaks of precepts, the pure one's actions are pure, and one always obtains pure conduct. If you do not kill, do not steal, do not lie, and always maintain right mindfulness and right knowledge. If a Brahmin learns in this way, all beings will be at peace. Brahmin, why return home? The spring at home cannot purify anything. Brahmin, you should learn to purify with good Dharma. Why use impure water? It only removes the dirt from the body.' The Brahmin said to the Buddha, 'I also think this way, to purify with good Dharma, why use impure water?' The Brahmin heard the Buddha's teachings, and his heart was greatly delighted. He immediately bowed at the Buddha's feet and took refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. The Brahmin said, 'World-Honored One! I have understood. Well-Gone One! I have comprehended. I now take refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and the community of monks. May the World-Honored One accept me as a lay disciple, from this day forward, for the rest of my life, until the end of my life.' The Buddha spoke thus. The Brahmin with the fine head, who purified with water, and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The seventh discourse, 'The Brahmin Who Purifies with Water,' is complete (1210 words). (94) The eighth discourse, 'The Black Monk' from the 'Defilement' section of the 'Middle Length Discourses' (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Shravasti, staying in the Deer Mother Hall in the Eastern Garden. At that time, the black monk, the son of Deer Mother, often liked to quarrel and went to where the Buddha was.

世尊遠遠地看見黑比丘走來,因為黑比丘的緣故,告訴眾比丘:『有這樣一種人,總是喜歡爭鬥,不贊同停止爭鬥。如果有人總是喜歡爭鬥,不贊同停止爭鬥,這種法是不可喜悅的,不可愛好的,不能使人愛慕思念,不能使人尊敬重視,不能使人修行,不能使人攝持,不能使人證得沙門果位,不能使人達到一心不亂,不能使人證得涅槃。』 『有這樣一種人,貪慾強烈,不贊同停止貪慾。如果有人貪慾強烈,不贊同停止貪慾,這種法是不可喜悅的,不可愛好的,不能使人愛慕思念,不能使人尊敬重視,不能使人修行,不能使人攝持,不能使人證得沙門果位,不能使人達到一心不亂,不能使人證得涅槃。』 『有這樣一種人,犯戒、違越戒律、戒律有缺損、戒律有漏洞、戒律被玷污,不贊同持戒。如果有人犯戒、違越戒律、戒律有缺損、戒律有漏洞、戒律被玷污,不贊同持戒,這種法是不可喜悅的,不可愛好的,不能使人愛慕思念,不能使人尊敬重視,不能使人修行,不能使人攝持,不能使人證得沙門果位,不能使人達到一心不亂,不能使人證得涅槃。』 『有這樣一種人,心中有嗔恨的纏縛、有不說話的結縛、有慳吝嫉妒、有阿諛奉承欺騙、有不知羞恥,不贊同慚愧。如果有人心中有嗔恨的纏縛、有不說話的結縛、有慳吝嫉妒、有阿諛奉承欺騙、有不知羞恥,不贊同慚愧,這種法是不可喜悅的,不可愛好的,不能使人愛慕思念,不能使人尊敬重視,不能使人修行,不能使人攝持,不能使人證得沙門果位,不能使人達到一心不亂,不能使人證得涅槃。』 『有這樣一種人,不勤勞修行梵行,不贊同勤勞修行梵行。如果有人不勤勞修行梵行,不贊同勤勞修行梵行,這種法是不可喜悅的,不可愛好的,不能使人愛慕思念,不能使人尊敬重視,不能使人修行,不能使人攝持,不能使人證得沙門果位,不能使人達到一心不亂,不能使人證得涅槃。』 『有這樣一種人,不觀察諸法,不贊同觀察諸法。』
The Blessed One, seeing the black bhikkhu coming from afar, because of the black bhikkhu, said to the bhikkhus: 'There is a person who always delights in strife, and does not approve of ceasing strife. If there is a person who always delights in strife, and does not approve of ceasing strife, this dharma is not pleasing, not beloved, cannot cause love and affection, cannot cause respect and esteem, cannot cause practice, cannot cause restraint, cannot cause the attainment of a samana, cannot cause the attainment of one-pointedness, cannot cause the attainment of nirvana.' 'There is a person who has evil desires, and does not approve of ceasing evil desires.

現代漢語譯本:如果有人不觀察諸法,卻自稱是觀察諸法的人,這種法是不可喜樂的,不可愛,不可歡喜,不能使人愛念,不能使人敬重,不能使人修習,不能使人攝持,不能使人證得沙門果,不能使人證得一心,不能使人證得涅槃。 如果有人不禪坐,卻自稱是禪坐的人。如果有人不禪坐,卻自稱是禪坐的人,這種法是不可喜樂的,不可愛,不可歡喜,不能使人愛念,不能使人敬重,不能使人修習,不能使人攝持,不能使人證得沙門果,不能使人證得一心,不能使人證得涅槃。這個人即使這樣想:『讓其他修行者供養我、恭敬我、禮拜我。』然而其他修行者不會供養他、恭敬他、禮拜他。為什麼呢?因為這個人有這些無量的惡法,因為他有這些無量的惡法,所以讓其他修行者不供養他、不恭敬他、不禮拜他。就像一匹劣馬被拴在馬槽里飼養,即使它這樣想:『讓人把我拴在安全的地方,給我好的飲食,好好地照看我。』然而人們不會把它拴在安全的地方,不會給它好的飲食,不會好好地照看它。為什麼呢?因為這匹馬有惡劣的習性,就是極其粗暴、不溫順,所以讓人不把它拴在安全的地方,不給它好的飲食,不好好地照看它。同樣,這個人即使這樣想:『讓其他修行者供養我、恭敬我、禮拜我。』然而其他修行者不會供養他、恭敬他、禮拜他。為什麼呢?因為這個人有這些無量的惡法,因為他有這些無量的惡法,所以讓其他修行者不供養他、不恭敬他、不禮拜他。 如果有人不喜歡爭鬥,卻讚美止息爭鬥。如果有人不喜歡爭鬥,卻讚美止息爭鬥,這種法是可喜樂的,可愛的,可歡喜的,能使人愛念,能使人敬重,能使人修習,能使人攝持,能使人證得沙門果,能使人證得一心,能使人證得涅槃。 如果有人不貪求惡欲,卻讚美止息惡欲。如果有人不貪求惡欲,卻讚美止息惡欲,這種法是可喜樂的,可愛的,可歡喜的,能使人愛念,能使人敬重,能使人修習,能使人攝持,能使人證得沙門果,能使人證得一心,能使人證得涅槃。
English version: If someone does not observe all phenomena, yet claims to be one who observes all phenomena, this teaching is not pleasing, not lovable, not delightful, cannot inspire affection, cannot inspire respect, cannot inspire practice, cannot inspire adherence, cannot lead to the attainment of a 'samana' (ascetic), cannot lead to the attainment of one-pointedness of mind, cannot lead to the attainment of Nirvana. If someone does not practice meditation, yet claims to be one who practices meditation.

Even if this person thinks: 'May the other practitioners offer to me, respect me, and pay homage to me,' yet the other practitioners will not offer to him, respect him, or pay homage to him. Why is that? Because this person has these immeasurable evil qualities, and because he has these immeasurable evil qualities, it causes the other practitioners not to offer to him, not to respect him, and not to pay homage to him. It is like a bad horse tied in a stable for feeding, even if it thinks: 'May people tie me in a safe place, give me good food, and look after me well,' yet people will not tie it in a safe place, will not give it good food, and will not look after it well. Why is that? Because this horse has bad qualities, namely being extremely coarse and not gentle, so people do not tie it in a safe place, do not give it good food, and do not look after it well. Likewise, even if this person thinks: 'May the other practitioners offer to me, respect me, and pay homage to me,' yet the other practitioners will not offer to him, respect him, or pay homage to him. Why is that? Because this person has these immeasurable evil qualities, and because he has these immeasurable evil qualities, it causes the other practitioners not to offer to him, not to respect him, and not to pay homage to him. If someone does not delight in strife, yet praises the cessation of strife. If someone does not delight in strife, yet praises the cessation of strife, this teaching is pleasing, lovable, delightful, can inspire affection, can inspire respect, can inspire practice, can inspire adherence, can lead to the attainment of a 'samana', can lead to the attainment of one-pointedness of mind, can lead to the attainment of Nirvana. If someone does not crave evil desires, yet praises the cessation of evil desires. If someone does not crave evil desires, yet praises the cessation of evil desires, this teaching is pleasing, lovable, delightful, can inspire affection, can inspire respect, can inspire practice, can inspire adherence, can lead to the attainment of a 'samana', can lead to the attainment of one-pointedness of mind, can lead to the attainment of Nirvana.

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我說退善法不住、不增,我說住善法不退、不增,我說增善法不退、不住。云何退善法不住、不增?比丘者,若有篤信、禁戒、博聞、佈施、智慧、辯才,阿含及其所得,彼人於此法退、不住、不增,是謂退善法不住、不增。云何住善法不退、不增?比丘者,若有篤信、禁戒、博聞、佈施、智慧、辯才、阿含及其所得,彼人於此法住不退、不增,是謂住善法不退、不增。云何增善法不退、不住?比丘者,若有篤信、禁戒、博聞、佈施、智慧、辯才、阿含及其所得,彼人於此法增不退、不住,是謂增善法不退、不住
現代漢語譯本:『就像人們把那匹性情溫順的馬安置在安全的地方,給它好的飲食,讓它看到美好的事物。這是為什麼呢?因為那匹馬有善良的品質,它性情柔順,容易調教,非常溫和善良,所以人們把它安置在安全的地方,給它好的飲食,讓它看到美好的事物。』同樣,這個人雖然沒有這樣的想法:『讓修行者們供養我、尊敬我、禮拜我。』但修行者們自然會供養他、尊敬他、禮拜他。 《黑比丘經》第八完(一千五百二十七字) (九五)《中阿含經·穢品·住法經》第九(第二小土城誦) 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我說有退失善法而不能保持、不能增長的情況,我說有保持善法而不退失、不增長的情況,我說有增長善法而不退失、不能保持的情況。』 『什麼叫做退失善法而不能保持、不能增長呢?比丘們,如果有人具有堅定的信仰、持守戒律、廣博的知識、樂於佈施、擁有智慧、善於辯才,通曉佛法及其所證得的果位,這個人在這方面退失、不能保持、不能增長,這就叫做退失善法而不能保持、不能增長。』 『什麼叫做保持善法而不退失、不增長呢?比丘們,如果有人具有堅定的信仰、持守戒律、廣博的知識、樂於佈施、擁有智慧、善於辯才,通曉佛法及其所證得的果位,這個人在這方面保持而不退失、不增長,這就叫做保持善法而不退失、不增長。』 『什麼叫做增長善法而不退失、不能保持呢?比丘們,如果有人具有堅定的信仰、持守戒律、廣博的知識、樂於佈施、擁有智慧、善於辯才,通曉佛法及其所證得的果位,這個人在這方面增長而不退失、不能保持,這就叫做增長善法而不退失、不能保持。』
English version: 'Just as people keep a well-behaved horse in a safe place, providing it with good food and pleasant sights. Why is that? Because that horse has good qualities, being gentle, easy to train, and very kind, so people keep it in a safe place, providing it with good food and pleasant sights.' Similarly, even though this person does not think, 'Let the monks offer to me, respect me, and pay homage to me,' the monks will naturally offer to him, respect him, and pay homage to him. The eighth Black Monk Sutra is complete (one thousand five hundred and twenty-seven words). (95) The ninth Sutra on Abiding in the Dharma from the Middle Length Discourses, the Filth Chapter (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At that time, the World Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'I speak of the decline of good qualities without abiding or increase, I speak of the abiding of good qualities without decline or increase, and I speak of the increase of good qualities without decline or abiding.' 'What is the decline of good qualities without abiding or increase? Monks, if someone has firm faith, observes the precepts, is learned, is generous, possesses wisdom, is eloquent, and understands the teachings and their attainments, that person declines in these qualities, without abiding or increase. This is called the decline of good qualities without abiding or increase.' 'What is the abiding of good qualities without decline or increase? Monks, if someone has firm faith, observes the precepts, is learned, is generous, possesses wisdom, is eloquent, and understands the teachings and their attainments, that person abides in these qualities without decline or increase. This is called the abiding of good qualities without decline or increase.' 'What is the increase of good qualities without decline or abiding? Monks, if someone has firm faith, observes the precepts, is learned, is generous, possesses wisdom, is eloquent, and understands the teachings and their attainments, that person increases in these qualities without decline or abiding. This is called the increase of good qualities without decline or abiding.'

Just as a person whose head or clothes are burned by fire would quickly seek a means to save his head or clothes, so too, this bhikkhu, wishing to abide in these wholesome states, not forgetting them, not retreating from them, and practicing and spreading them widely, should quickly seek a means, learn with utmost diligence, maintain right mindfulness and right wisdom, and endure without retreating.』 The ninth discourse of the 『Abiding in the Dharma』 is concluded (631 words). (96) The tenth discourse of the 『Impurities』 section of the 『Middle Length Discourses』, 『Without』 (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was wandering in Savatthi, staying at Jeta』s Grove, Anathapindika』s Park.
爾時,尊者舍梨子告諸比丘:「諸賢!若有比丘、比丘尼未聞法者不得聞,已聞法者便忘失,若使有法本所修行,廣佈誦習,慧之所解,彼不復憶,知而不知。諸賢!是謂比丘、比丘尼凈法衰退。
「諸賢!若有比丘、比丘尼未聞法者便得聞,已聞法者不忘失,若使有法本所修行,廣佈誦習,慧之所解,彼常憶念,知而復知。是謂比丘、比丘尼凈法轉增。
「諸賢!比丘者當作如是觀:『我為有增伺,為無有增伺?我為有瞋恚心,為無有瞋恚心?我為有睡眠纏,為無有睡眠纏?我為有調貢高,為無有調貢高?我為有疑惑,為無有疑惑?我為有身諍,為無有身諍?我為有穢污心,為無有穢污心?我為有信,為無有信?我為有進,為無有進?我為有念,為無有念?我為有定,為無有定?我為有惡慧,為無有惡慧?』
「諸賢!若比丘觀時,則知我有增伺、有瞋恚心、有睡眠纏、有調貢高、有疑惑、有身諍、有穢污心,無信、無進、無念、無定,有惡慧者。諸賢!彼比丘欲滅此惡不善法故,便以速求方便,學極精勤,正念正智,忍不令退。諸賢!猶人為火燒頭、燒衣,急求方便救頭、救衣。諸賢!如是比丘欲滅此惡不善法故,便以速求方便,學極精勤,正念正智,忍不令退。
「諸賢!若比丘觀時,則知我無增伺、無瞋恚心、無睡眠纏、無調貢高、無有疑惑、無有身諍、無穢污心,有信、有進、有念、有定、無惡慧者,彼比丘欲住此善法,不忘不退,修行廣佈故,便以速求方便,學極精勤,正念正智,忍不令退
那時,尊者舍利子告訴眾比丘:『諸位賢者!如果有的比丘、比丘尼沒有聽聞佛法,就不能聽聞;已經聽聞佛法的,卻又忘失;如果他們本來修行的佛法,廣泛地誦讀學習,用智慧理解的,他們不再憶念,知道卻好像不知道。諸位賢者!這就是比丘、比丘尼清凈的佛法衰退的情況。』 『諸位賢者!如果有的比丘、比丘尼沒有聽聞佛法,就能聽聞;已經聽聞佛法的,不會忘失;如果他們本來修行的佛法,廣泛地誦讀學習,用智慧理解的,他們常常憶念,知道而且更加明白。這就是比丘、比丘尼清凈的佛法增長的情況。』 『諸位賢者!比丘應當這樣觀察自己:『我是否有增長的尋伺?我是否有嗔恚心?我是否有睡眠的纏縛?我是否有掉舉和貢高?我是否有疑惑?我是否有身體的爭鬥?我是否有污穢的心?我是否有信心?我是否有精進?我是否有正念?我是否有禪定?我是否有惡慧?』 『諸位賢者!如果比丘觀察時,知道自己有增長的尋伺、有嗔恚心、有睡眠的纏縛、有掉舉和貢高、有疑惑、有身體的爭鬥、有污穢的心,沒有信心、沒有精進、沒有正念、沒有禪定,有惡慧。諸位賢者!這位比丘爲了滅除這些惡不善法,就應當迅速尋求方法,學習極其精勤,保持正念正智,忍耐不使退轉。諸位賢者!就像有人被火燒到頭或燒到衣服,會急切地尋求方法來救頭或救衣服一樣。諸位賢者!這位比丘爲了滅除這些惡不善法,就應當迅速尋求方法,學習極其精勤,保持正念正智,忍耐不使退轉。』 『諸位賢者!如果比丘觀察時,知道自己沒有增長的尋伺、沒有嗔恚心、沒有睡眠的纏縛、沒有掉舉和貢高、沒有疑惑、沒有身體的爭鬥、沒有污穢的心,有信心、有精進、有正念、有禪定、沒有惡慧。這位比丘爲了保持這些善法,不忘失不退轉,修行並廣泛傳播,就應當迅速尋求方法,學習極其精勤,保持正念正智,忍耐不使退轉。』
At that time, the Venerable Sariputra addressed the monks, saying: 'Friends, if there are monks or nuns who have not heard the Dharma, they do not get to hear it; if they have heard the Dharma, they forget it; if they have practiced the Dharma, widely recited and studied it, and understood it with wisdom, they no longer remember it, knowing but as if not knowing. Friends, this is what is called the decline of the pure Dharma for monks and nuns.' 'Friends, if there are monks or nuns who have not heard the Dharma, they get to hear it; if they have heard the Dharma, they do not forget it; if they have practiced the Dharma, widely recited and studied it, and understood it with wisdom, they constantly remember it, knowing and understanding even more. This is what is called the increase of the pure Dharma for monks and nuns.' 'Friends, a monk should observe himself thus: 'Do I have increasing discursive thinking? Do I have anger? Do I have the hindrance of sleepiness? Do I have restlessness and conceit? Do I have doubt? Do I have bodily conflict? Do I have a defiled mind? Do I have faith? Do I have diligence? Do I have mindfulness? Do I have concentration? Do I have wrong wisdom?' 'Friends, if a monk observes and knows that he has increasing discursive thinking, has anger, has the hindrance of sleepiness, has restlessness and conceit, has doubt, has bodily conflict, has a defiled mind, lacks faith, lacks diligence, lacks mindfulness, lacks concentration, and has wrong wisdom. Friends, that monk, in order to extinguish these evil and unwholesome qualities, should quickly seek means, learn with utmost diligence, maintain right mindfulness and right wisdom, and endure without retreating. Friends, just as a person whose head or clothes are burned by fire would urgently seek means to save their head or clothes. Friends, likewise, that monk, in order to extinguish these evil and unwholesome qualities, should quickly seek means, learn with utmost diligence, maintain right mindfulness and right wisdom, and endure without retreating.' 'Friends, if a monk observes and knows that he has no increasing discursive thinking, no anger, no hindrance of sleepiness, no restlessness and conceit, no doubt, no bodily conflict, no defiled mind, has faith, has diligence, has mindfulness, has concentration, and has no wrong wisdom. That monk, in order to maintain these wholesome qualities, not forgetting or retreating, practicing and widely spreading them, should quickly seek means, learn with utmost diligence, maintain right mindfulness and right wisdom, and endure without retreating.'
。猶人為火燒頭、燒衣,急求方便救頭、救衣。諸賢!如是比丘欲住此善法,不忘不退,修行廣佈故,便以速求方便,學極精勤,正念正智,忍不令退。」
尊者舍梨子所說如是,彼諸比丘聞尊者舍梨子所說,歡喜奉行。

爾時,尊者阿難閑居獨處,宴坐思惟,心作是念:「此緣起甚奇,極甚深,明亦甚深,然我觀見至淺至淺。」於是,尊者阿難則于晡時從宴坐起,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,卻住一面,白曰:「世尊!我今閑居獨處,宴坐思惟,心作是念:『此緣起甚奇,極甚深,明亦甚深,然我觀見至淺至淺。』」
世尊告曰:「阿難!汝莫作是念,此緣起至淺至淺。所以者何?此緣起極甚深,明亦甚深。阿難!於此緣起不知如真,不見如實,不覺不達故。念彼眾生如織機相鎖,如蘊蔓草,多有調亂,匆匆喧鬧,從此世至彼世,從彼世至此世,往來不能出過生死。阿難!是故知此緣起極甚深,明亦甚深
猶如有人頭被火燒,衣服被火燒,急切地尋求方便來救頭、救衣服。諸位賢者!如果比丘想要安住于這善法,不忘失、不退轉,修行並廣為傳播,就應當迅速尋求方便,極其精勤地學習,保持正念正智,忍耐而不退轉。 尊者舍利弗所說的就是這樣,那些比丘聽了尊者舍利弗所說的話,歡喜地奉行。 《無經》第十完(五百六十八字) 《中阿含經》卷第二十三(八千六百五十八字) 《中阿含經·穢品》第三完(一萬六千一百四十字)(第二小土城誦) 《中阿含經》卷第二十四 《因品》第四(有十經)(第二小土城誦) 因、處、二苦陰,增上心、及念,師子吼、優曇,愿、想最在後。 (九七)《中阿含經·因品》之《大因經》第一 當時,尊者阿難閑居獨處,靜坐思惟,心中這樣想:『這緣起非常奇特,極其深奧,明晰也極其深奧,然而我卻覺得它非常淺顯。』於是,尊者阿難在傍晚時分從靜坐中起身,前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,然後退到一旁,說道:『世尊!我今天閑居獨處,靜坐思惟,心中這樣想:『這緣起非常奇特,極其深奧,明晰也極其深奧,然而我卻覺得它非常淺顯。』 世尊告訴阿難說:『阿難!你不要這樣想,這緣起非常淺顯。為什麼呢?因為這緣起極其深奧,明晰也極其深奧。阿難!因為不真正瞭解這緣起,不真實地看見它,不覺悟不通達它,所以那些眾生就像織布機一樣相互纏繞,像蔓草一樣糾結,多有混亂,匆匆忙忙,從這一世到那一世,從那一世到這一世,往來不能超出輪迴。阿難!因此要知道這緣起極其深奧,明晰也極其深奧。』
It's like a person whose head is on fire, whose clothes are on fire, urgently seeking a way to save their head and save their clothes. Worthy ones! If a bhikkhu wishes to abide in this good Dharma, not forgetting it, not retreating from it, practicing and spreading it widely, then they should quickly seek a way, study with utmost diligence, maintain right mindfulness and right wisdom, and endure without retreating. This is what the Venerable Sariputta said. Those bhikkhus, having heard what the Venerable Sariputta said, joyfully practiced it. The end of the Tenth Sutra (568 words) The Twenty-third Scroll of the Madhyama Agama Sutra (8,658 words) The end of the Third Chapter of the Madhyama Agama Sutra, 'Defilement' (16,140 words) (Recited at the Second Small Earth City) The Twenty-fourth Scroll of the Madhyama Agama Sutra The Fourth Chapter, 'Causes' (Ten Sutras) (Recited at the Second Small Earth City) Causes, Places, Two Aggregates of Suffering, Superior Mind, and Mindfulness, Lion's Roar, Udumbara, Wish, and Thought are last. (97) The First Sutra of the 'Great Cause' in the 'Causes' Chapter of the Madhyama Agama Sutra At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Kuru, residing in the city of Kammassadhamma in Kuru. At that time, the Venerable Ananda, dwelling in seclusion, sat in meditation, and his mind thought thus: 'This dependent origination is very wondrous, extremely profound, and its clarity is also extremely profound, yet I see it as very shallow.' Then, the Venerable Ananda, in the late afternoon, arose from his meditation, went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and stood to one side, saying: 'Venerable Sir, today I was dwelling in seclusion, sitting in meditation, and my mind thought thus: 'This dependent origination is very wondrous, extremely profound, and its clarity is also extremely profound, yet I see it as very shallow.' The Blessed One said to Ananda: 'Ananda, do not think like that, that this dependent origination is very shallow. Why is that? Because this dependent origination is extremely profound, and its clarity is also extremely profound. Ananda, because they do not truly understand this dependent origination, do not see it as it really is, do not awaken to it, and do not comprehend it, therefore those beings are like threads intertwined on a loom, like tangled vines, full of confusion, rushing about, from this world to that world, from that world to this world, going back and forth, unable to escape the cycle of birth and death. Ananda, therefore know that this dependent origination is extremely profound, and its clarity is also extremely profound.'
「阿難!若有問者:『老死有緣耶?』當如是答:『老死有緣。』若有問者:『老死有何緣?』當如是答:『緣于生也。』阿難!若有問者:『生有緣耶?』當如是答:『生亦有緣。』若有問者:『生有何緣?』當如是答:『緣于有也。』阿難!若有問者:『有有緣耶?』當如是答:『有亦有緣。』若有問者:『有有何緣?』當如是答:『緣于受也。』阿難!若有問者:『受有緣耶?』當如是答:『受亦有緣。』若有問者:『受有何緣?』當如是答:『緣于愛也。』阿難!是為緣愛有受,緣受有有,緣有有生,緣生有老死,緣老死有愁戚,啼哭、憂苦、懊惱皆緣老死有,如此具足純生大苦陰。
「阿難!緣生有老死者,此說緣生有老死,當知所謂緣生有老死。阿難!若無生,魚、魚種,鳥、鳥種,蚊、蚊種,龍、龍種,神、神種,鬼、鬼種,天、天種,人、人種,阿難!彼彼眾生隨彼彼處,若無生,各各無生者,設使離生,當有老死耶?」
答曰:「無也。」
「阿難!是故當知是老死因、老死習、老死本、老死緣者,謂此生也。所以者何?緣生故則有老死。
「阿難!緣有有生者,此說緣有有生,當知所謂緣有有生。阿難!若無有,魚、魚種,鳥,鳥種,蚊、蚊種,龍、龍種,神、神種,鬼、鬼種,天、天種,人、人種。阿難!彼彼眾生隨彼彼處無有,各各無有者,設使離有,當有生耶?」
「阿難!是故當知是生因、生習、生本、生緣者,謂此有也。所以者何?緣有故則有生
『阿難!如果有人問:『老死有因緣嗎?』應當這樣回答:『老死有因緣。』如果有人問:『老死的因緣是什麼?』應當這樣回答:『因緣于生。』阿難!如果有人問:『生有因緣嗎?』應當這樣回答:『生也有因緣。』如果有人問:『生的因緣是什麼?』應當這樣回答:『因緣于有。』阿難!如果有人問:『有有因緣嗎?』應當這樣回答:『有也有因緣。』如果有人問:『有的因緣是什麼?』應當這樣回答:『因緣于受。』阿難!如果有人問:『受有因緣嗎?』應當這樣回答:『受也有因緣。』如果有人問:『受的因緣是什麼?』應當這樣回答:『因緣于愛。』阿難!這就是因愛而有受,因受而有有,因有而有生,因生而有老死,因老死而有憂愁、哭泣、痛苦、懊惱,這些都因老死而有,如此就完全產生了巨大的苦惱。』 『阿難!因生而有老死,這是說因生而有老死,應當知道所謂因生而有老死。阿難!如果沒有生,魚、魚的種類,鳥、鳥的種類,蚊子、蚊子的種類,龍、龍的種類,神、神的種類,鬼、鬼的種類,天、天的種類,人、人的種類,阿難!這些眾生在各自的地方,如果沒有生,各自都沒有生,假設脫離了生,會有老死嗎?』 回答說:『沒有。』 『阿難!所以應當知道老死的因、老死的習性、老死的根本、老死的因緣,就是這個生。為什麼呢?因為有生,所以才有老死。』 『阿難!因有而有生,這是說因有而有生,應當知道所謂因有而有生。阿難!如果沒有有,魚、魚的種類,鳥、鳥的種類,蚊子、蚊子的種類,龍、龍的種類,神、神的種類,鬼、鬼的種類,天、天的種類,人、人的種類。阿難!這些眾生在各自的地方如果沒有有,各自都沒有有,假設脫離了有,會有生嗎?』 『阿難!所以應當知道生的因、生的習性、生的根本、生的因緣,就是這個有。為什麼呢?因為有有,所以才有生。』
'Ananda! If someone asks: 'Does old age and death have a cause?' you should answer: 'Old age and death have a cause.' If someone asks: 'What is the cause of old age and death?' you should answer: 'It is caused by birth.' Ananda! If someone asks: 'Does birth have a cause?' you should answer: 'Birth also has a cause.' If someone asks: 'What is the cause of birth?' you should answer: 'It is caused by existence.' Ananda! If someone asks: 'Does existence have a cause?' you should answer: 'Existence also has a cause.' If someone asks: 'What is the cause of existence?' you should answer: 'It is caused by feeling.' Ananda! If someone asks: 'Does feeling have a cause?' you should answer: 'Feeling also has a cause.' If someone asks: 'What is the cause of feeling?' you should answer: 'It is caused by craving.' Ananda! This is how craving leads to feeling, feeling leads to existence, existence leads to birth, birth leads to old age and death, and old age and death lead to sorrow, weeping, pain, and distress. All these arise from old age and death, thus completely generating a great mass of suffering.' 'Ananda! That old age and death are caused by birth, this means that old age and death are caused by birth. You should understand what is meant by old age and death being caused by birth. Ananda! If there were no birth, no fish, no species of fish, no birds, no species of birds, no mosquitoes, no species of mosquitoes, no dragons, no species of dragons, no gods, no species of gods, no ghosts, no species of ghosts, no heavens, no species of heavens, no humans, no species of humans, Ananda! If these beings in their respective places had no birth, if each had no birth, if they were separated from birth, would there be old age and death?' The answer is: 'No.' 'Ananda! Therefore, you should know that the cause of old age and death, the habit of old age and death, the root of old age and death, the condition of old age and death, is this birth. Why is that? Because of birth, there is old age and death.' 'Ananda! That birth is caused by existence, this means that birth is caused by existence. You should understand what is meant by birth being caused by existence. Ananda! If there were no existence, no fish, no species of fish, no birds, no species of birds, no mosquitoes, no species of mosquitoes, no dragons, no species of dragons, no gods, no species of gods, no ghosts, no species of ghosts, no heavens, no species of heavens, no humans, no species of humans.

'Ananda! Because of feeling, there is existence. This means that because of feeling, there is existence. You should know that what is called existence because of feeling. Ananda! If there were no feeling, and each had no feeling, if one were to be separated from feeling, would there still be existence, would existence be established?' He replied, 'No, there would not.' 'Ananda! Therefore, you should know that what has a cause, a habit, a root, and a condition is this feeling. Why is that? Because due to feeling as a condition, there is existence.' 'Ananda! Because of craving, there is feeling. This means that because of craving, there is feeling. You should know what is called feeling because of craving. Ananda!

Therefore, you should know that what is the cause of feeling, the habit of feeling, the root of feeling, and the condition of feeling is this craving. Why is that? Because due to craving as a condition, there is feeling.' 'Ananda! This is because due to craving as a condition, there is seeking; due to seeking as a condition, there is gain; due to gain as a condition, there is division; due to division as a condition, there is desire; due to desire as a condition, there is attachment; due to attachment as a condition, there is stinginess; due to stinginess as a condition, there is a household; due to a household as a condition, there is guarding. Ananda! Because of guarding as a condition, there are knives and staves, fighting, flattery, deception, false speech, and double-tongued speech, arising from immeasurable evil and unwholesome dharmas, and thus there is a complete mass of great suffering. Ananda! If there were no guarding, and each had no guarding, if one were to be separated from guarding, would there be knives and staves, fighting, flattery, deception, false speech, and double-tongued speech, arising from immeasurable evil and unwholesome dharmas?' 'Ananda! Therefore, you should know that these knives and staves, fighting, flattery, deception, false speech, and double-tongued speech, arising from immeasurable evil and unwholesome dharmas, their cause, habit, root, and condition is this guarding.

English version: Ananda! If there is no seeking, and each individual has no seeking, even if one were to be free from seeking, would there be any benefit? Ananda! Therefore, it should be known that the cause of benefit, the habit of benefit, the root of benefit, and the condition of benefit, refer to this seeking. Why is that? Because of seeking, there is a separate benefit. Ananda! Because of love, there is seeking. This explains that because of love, there is seeking. It should be known that it is because of love that there is seeking. Ananda! If there is no love, and each individual has no love, even if one were to be free from love, would there be seeking? Ananda! Therefore, it should be known that the cause of seeking, the habit of seeking, the root of seeking, and the condition of seeking, refer to this love. Why is that? Because of love, there is seeking. Ananda! Desire-love and existence-love, these two dharmas arise because of feeling, and are conditioned by feeling. Ananda! If someone asks: 'Does feeling have a condition?' You should answer: 'Feeling also has a condition.' If someone asks: 'What is the condition of feeling?' You should answer: 'It is conditioned by further pleasure.' It should be known that feeling arises from further pleasure. Ananda! If there is no further pleasure of the eye, and each individual has no further pleasure of the eye, even if one were to be free from the further pleasure of the eye, would there be the arising of pleasant feeling, painful feeling, or neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling conditioned by the further pleasure of the eye?

'If one were to separate pleasure from the name-body and the form-body, would there be another pleasure that could be established?' The answer was: 'No.' 'Ananda! Therefore, it should be known that the cause of this other pleasure, the habit of this other pleasure, the root of this other pleasure, and the condition of this other pleasure, refer to this name and form. Why is that? Because due to name and form, there is another pleasure.' 'Ananda! If someone were to ask: 'Does name and form have a condition?' You should answer: 'Name and form have a condition.' If someone were to ask: 'What is the condition of name and form?' You should answer: 'It is consciousness.' It should be known that what is conditioned by consciousness is name and form. Ananda! If consciousness does not enter the mother's womb, would name and form form this body?' 'Ananda! If consciousness enters the womb and then leaves, would name and form combine?' 'Ananda! If a young boy or girl, whose consciousness is initially cut off and does not exist, would name and form then grow?' 'Ananda! Therefore, it should be known that the cause of name and form, the habit of name and form, the root of name and form, and the condition of name and form, refer to this consciousness. Why is that? Because due to consciousness, there is name and form.' 'Ananda! If someone were to ask: 'Does consciousness have a condition?' You should answer: 'Consciousness also has a condition.' If someone were to ask: 'What is the condition of consciousness?' You should answer: 'It is name and form.' It should be known that what is conditioned by name and form is consciousness. Ananda! If consciousness does not have name and form, if consciousness is not established or does not rely on name and form, would consciousness have birth, old age, sickness, death, and suffering?' 'Ananda! Therefore, it should be known that the cause of consciousness, the habit of consciousness, the root of consciousness, and the condition of consciousness, refer to this name and form. Why is that? Because due to name and form, there is consciousness. Ananda! This is how due to name and form there is consciousness, and due to consciousness there is also name and form. From this comes increased speech, increased speech is passed on, and it is said that it can be established, that is, consciousness and name and form exist together. Ananda! How can there be a view that there is a soul?' Venerable Ananda said to the World-Honored One: 'World-Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, you are the master of the Dharma, the Dharma comes from the World-Honored One. I beseech you to explain it, so that I, having heard it, may broadly understand its meaning.' The Buddha then said: 'Ananda! Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain its meaning to you.'

Venerable Ananda, having been instructed, listened. The Buddha said: 'Ananda, some perceive that feeling is the self, while others perceive that feeling is not the self, but the self can perceive, and the self's law can perceive. Still others perceive that feeling is not the self, nor can the self perceive, but the self's law can perceive, yet they see the self as having no perception. Ananda, if someone perceives that feeling is the self, you should ask them: 『You have three feelings: pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. Which of these three feelings do you perceive as the self?』 Ananda, you should further tell them: 『If one experiences pleasant feeling, then the other two feelings cease: painful feeling and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. At that time, one only experiences pleasant feeling. Pleasant feeling is impermanent, suffering, and subject to cessation. If pleasant feeling has ceased, would one not think that the self has also ceased?』 Ananda, if one experiences painful feeling, then the other two feelings cease: pleasant feeling and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. At that time, one only experiences painful feeling. Painful feeling is impermanent, suffering, and subject to cessation. If painful feeling has ceased, would one not think that the self has also ceased? Ananda, if one experiences neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling, then the other two feelings cease: pleasant feeling and painful feeling. At that time, one only experiences neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. Neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling is impermanent, suffering, and subject to cessation. If neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling has ceased, would one not think that the self has also ceased? Ananda, such impermanent feelings, merely detached from pleasure and pain, would one still perceive feeling as the self?』 'Ananda, therefore, such impermanent feelings, merely detached from pleasure and pain, should no longer be perceived as the self. Ananda, if someone perceives that feeling is not the self, but the self can perceive, and the self's law can perceive, you should tell them: 『If you have no feeling, perception is unattainable, and you should not say it is something that belongs to me.』 Ananda, would they still perceive that feeling is not the self, but the self can perceive, and the self's law can perceive?』 'Ananda, therefore, they should not perceive that feeling is not the self, but the self can perceive, and the self's law can perceive. Ananda, if someone perceives that feeling is not the self, nor can the self perceive, but the self's law can perceive, yet they see the self as having no perception, you should tell them: 『If you have no feeling, perception is unattainable, and if the self is detached from feeling, it should not be said that the self is pure.』

English version: 'Ananda! If someone further sees that consciousness is not a self, nor does he see that a self can be conscious, or that the method of a self can be conscious, but only sees that a self is not conscious at all, what do you think?' Ananda replied: 'It is not so.' 'Ananda! Therefore, he should not see that consciousness is not a self, nor should he see that a self can be conscious, or that the method of a self can be conscious, but only see that a self is not conscious at all. This view is to say that there is a self. Ananda! Then, what is it to not see that there is a self?' Venerable Ananda said to the Blessed One: 'Venerable Sir, the Blessed One is the root of the Dharma, the Blessed One is the master of the Dharma, the Dharma comes from the Blessed One. Please explain it to us, so that we may understand its meaning more broadly after hearing it.' The Buddha told Ananda: 'Ananda! Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain its meaning to you in detail.' Venerable Ananda accepted the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said: 'Ananda! Some do not see that consciousness is a self, nor do they see that a self can be conscious, but they see that the method of a self can be conscious, and they do not see that a self is not conscious at all. Having not seen it in this way, they will not be attached to this world. Having no attachment, they will not be weary. Having no weariness, they will enter Nirvana. They know: my life is finished, the pure practice is completed, what had to be done is done, there is no more rebirth, and they know the truth as it is. Ananda! This is what is called an expression, an expression is transmitted orally, and the tradition can be established. Those who know this will have no attachment. Ananda! If a bhikkhu is thus rightly liberated, there will no longer be the view that the Tathagata ends, the view that the Tathagata does not end, the view that the Tathagata both ends and does not end, or the view that the Tathagata is neither ending nor not ending. This is to not see that there is a self. Ananda! Then, what is it to establish and establish that there is a self?' The Buddha said: 'Ananda! Some consider a small amount of form to be a self that is established and established. Some consider that it is not a small amount of form that is a self that is established and established, but rather an immeasurable amount of form that is a self that is established and established. Some consider that it is not a small amount of form that is a self that is established and established, nor is it an immeasurable amount of form that is a self that is established and established, but rather a small amount of formlessness that is a self that is established and established.'

『Ananda! What is it that there is a 『non-god』 designation that is designated?』 Venerable Ananda said to the Blessed One: 『The Blessed One is the root of the Dharma, the Blessed One is the master of the Dharma, the Dharma comes from the Blessed One. I beseech you to explain it, so that I, having heard it, may understand its meaning broadly.』 The Buddha then said: 『Ananda! Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain its meaning to you.』 Venerable Ananda accepted the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said: 『Ananda! There is a case where neither a small amount of form is designated as 『god』, nor a large amount of form is designated as 『god』, nor a small amount of formlessness is designated as 『god』, nor a large amount of formlessness is designated as 『god』. Ananda! If there is a case where a small amount of form is not designated as 『god』, then, while he is alive, he will not think that this small amount of form is the designation of 『god』, and when his body breaks up and he dies, he will not say so, nor will he think so. When 『god』 leaves the small amount of form, he will not think so, nor will he have such a thought. Ananda! This is a case where a small amount of form is not designated as 『god』, and this is a case where it is not a small amount of form, yet it is clung to by 『god』. 『Ananda! If there is a case where a large amount of form is not designated as 『god』, then, while he is alive, he will not think that this large amount of form is the designation of 『god』, and when his body breaks up and he dies, he will not say so, nor will he think so. When 『god』 leaves the large amount of form, he will not think so, nor will he have such a thought. Ananda! This is a case where a large amount of form is not designated as 『god』, and this is a case where it is not a large amount of form, yet it is clung to by 『god』. 『Ananda! If there is a case where a small amount of formlessness is not designated as 『god』, then, while he is alive, he will not think that this small amount of formlessness is the designation of 『god』, and when his body breaks up and he dies, he will not say so, nor will he think so.

English version: 'Ananda!

『阿難!這位比丘寧願喜愛那個地方,執著于住在那裡嗎?』 回答說:『不,世尊。』 『阿難!第二處是,無色眾生超越一切無所有處,到達非想非非想處,以非想非非想處成就而游,即非想非非想處天。如果有比丘如實知曉那個地方,知曉那個地方的習性,知曉滅盡,知曉其味,知曉其患,知曉其出離之道。阿難!這位比丘寧願喜愛那個地方,執著于住在那裡嗎?』 『阿難!如果有比丘如實知曉這七識住和二處,心不被染著,獲得解脫,這樣的比丘就是阿羅漢,名為慧解脫。 『再者,阿難!有八種解脫。哪八種呢?色觀色,這是第一解脫。再者,內心沒有色想而外觀色,這是第二解脫。再者,以清凈解脫身作證成就而游,這是第三解脫。再者,超越一切色想,滅除有對想,不念各種各樣的想,到達無量空處,以無量空處成就而游,這是第四解脫。再者,超越一切無量空處,到達無量識處,以無量識處成就而游,這是第五解脫。再者,超越一切無量識處,到達無所有處,以無所有處成就而游,這是第六解脫。再者,超越一切無所有處,到達非想非非想處,以非想非非想處成就而游,這是第七解脫。再者,超越一切非想非非想處,以想知滅解脫身作證成就而游,並且以智慧觀察諸漏盡知,這是第八解脫。阿難!如果有比丘如實知曉這七識住和二處,心不被染著,獲得解脫,並且這八種解脫,順逆身作證成就而游,也以智慧觀察諸漏盡知,這樣的比丘就是阿羅漢,名為俱解脫。』 《大因經》第一完(五千四百七十二字) (九八)《中阿含經·因品·念處經》第二(第二小土城誦)
'Ananda, would this bhikkhu be pleased with that place, clinging to dwelling there?' 'Ananda, the second place is where beings without form transcend all the sphere of nothingness, reaching the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, abiding in the attainment of the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, namely, the gods of the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception. If a bhikkhu truly knows that place, knows the origin of that place, knows its cessation, knows its gratification, knows its danger, and knows the escape from it. Ananda, would this bhikkhu be pleased with that place, clinging to dwelling there?' 'Ananda, if a bhikkhu truly knows these seven abodes of consciousness and the two places, his mind is not defiled, and he attains liberation, such a bhikkhu is an Arhat, called a wise-liberated one.' 'Furthermore, Ananda, there are eight liberations. What are the eight? One with form sees forms, this is the first liberation. Furthermore, one without the perception of form internally sees forms externally, this is the second liberation. Furthermore, one realizes and abides in the attainment of liberation through the body, this is the third liberation. Furthermore, by completely transcending all perceptions of form, with the disappearance of perceptions of resistance, not attending to various perceptions, one reaches the sphere of infinite space, abiding in the attainment of the sphere of infinite space, this is the fourth liberation. Furthermore, by completely transcending the sphere of infinite space, one reaches the sphere of infinite consciousness, abiding in the attainment of the sphere of infinite consciousness, this is the fifth liberation. Furthermore, by completely transcending the sphere of infinite consciousness, one reaches the sphere of nothingness, abiding in the attainment of the sphere of nothingness, this is the sixth liberation. Furthermore, by completely transcending the sphere of nothingness, one reaches the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, abiding in the attainment of the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, this is the seventh liberation. Furthermore, by completely transcending the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, one realizes and abides in the attainment of the cessation of perception and feeling through the body, and with wisdom, one knows the destruction of all taints, this is the eighth liberation. Ananda, if a bhikkhu truly knows these seven abodes of consciousness and the two places, his mind is not defiled, and he attains liberation, and these eight liberations, realizing and abiding in them both forwards and backwards through the body, and with wisdom, knows the destruction of all taints, such a bhikkhu is an Arhat, called a both-ways-liberated one.' Thus spoke the Buddha. Venerable Ananda and the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The first discourse of the Great Cause Sutra is complete (5472 words). (98) The Second Discourse on the Foundations of Mindfulness from the Cause Section of the Middle Length Discourses (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the Kuru country, staying in the Kuru town of Kammassadhamma.
世尊告曰:「阿難!汝莫作是念,此緣起至淺至淺。所以者何?此緣起極甚深,明亦甚深。阿難!於此緣起不知如真,不見如實,不覺不達故。念彼眾生如織機相鎖,如蘊蔓草,多有調亂,匆匆喧鬧,從此世至彼世,從彼世至此世,往來不能出過生死。阿難!是故知此緣起極甚深,明亦甚深。
「阿難!若有問者:『老死有緣耶?』當如是答:『老死有緣。』若有問者:『老死有何緣?』當如是答:『緣于生也。』阿難!若有問者:『生有緣耶?』當如是答:『生亦有緣。』若有問者:『生有何緣?』當如是答:『緣于有也。』阿難!若有問者:『有有緣耶?』當如是答:『有亦有緣。』若有問者:『有有何緣?』當如是答:『緣于受也。』阿難!若有問者:『受有緣耶?』當如是答:『受亦有緣。』若有問者:『受有何緣?』當如是答:『緣于愛也
現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者阿難獨自一人清靜地居住,靜坐思考,心中這樣想:『這緣起真是奇特,極其深奧,其理也極其深邃,然而我所見到的卻極其淺顯。』於是,尊者阿難在傍晚時分從靜坐中起身,前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,然後退到一旁站立,稟告說:『世尊!我今天獨自一人清靜地居住,靜坐思考,心中這樣想:『這緣起真是奇特,極其深奧,其理也極其深邃,然而我所見到的卻極其淺顯。』 世尊告訴阿難說:『阿難!你不要這樣想,認為這緣起極其淺顯。為什麼呢?因為這緣起極其深奧,其理也極其深邃。阿難!正是因為對這緣起不能如實知曉,不能如實見到,不能覺悟通達,所以才使得那些眾生像織布機上的線一樣相互纏繞,像蔓生的草一樣糾結,多有混亂,匆匆忙忙,從這一世到那一世,從那一世到這一世,往來輪迴,不能超出這生死之苦。阿難!因此要知道這緣起極其深奧,其理也極其深邃。 『阿難!如果有人問:『老死有因緣嗎?』應當這樣回答:『老死有因緣。』如果有人問:『老死有什麼因緣?』應當這樣回答:『因緣于生。』阿難!如果有人問:『生有因緣嗎?』應當這樣回答:『生也有因緣。』如果有人問:『生有什麼因緣?』應當這樣回答:『因緣于有。』阿難!如果有人問:『有有因緣嗎?』應當這樣回答:『有也有因緣。』如果有人問:『有什麼因緣?』應當這樣回答:『因緣于受。』阿難!如果有人問:『受有因緣嗎?』應當這樣回答:『受也有因緣。』如果有人問:『受有什麼因緣?』應當這樣回答:『因緣于愛。』
English version: At that time, the venerable Ananda, dwelling alone in seclusion, sat in meditation and pondered, thinking to himself: 'This dependent origination is truly wondrous, extremely profound, and its understanding is also extremely deep, yet what I perceive is very shallow, very shallow.' Then, the venerable Ananda arose from his meditation in the late afternoon, went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and stood to one side, saying: 'Venerable Sir, I was dwelling alone in seclusion today, sitting in meditation and pondering, thinking to myself: 『This dependent origination is truly wondrous, extremely profound, and its understanding is also extremely deep, yet what I perceive is very shallow, very shallow.』' The World-Honored One said to Ananda: 'Ananda, do not think in this way, that this dependent origination is very shallow, very shallow. Why is that? Because this dependent origination is extremely profound, and its understanding is also extremely deep. Ananda, it is because one does not truly know this dependent origination, does not see it as it really is, does not awaken to and understand it, that those beings are like threads intertwined on a loom, like tangled weeds, full of confusion, rushing about, from this life to that life, from that life to this life, going back and forth, unable to escape the cycle of birth and death. Ananda, therefore, know that this dependent origination is extremely profound, and its understanding is also extremely deep.' 'Ananda, if someone asks: 『Does old age and death have a cause?』 you should answer: 『Old age and death have a cause.』 If someone asks: 『What is the cause of old age and death?』 you should answer: 『It is caused by birth.』 Ananda, if someone asks: 『Does birth have a cause?』 you should answer: 『Birth also has a cause.』 If someone asks: 『What is the cause of birth?』 you should answer: 『It is caused by existence.』 Ananda, if someone asks: 『Does existence have a cause?』 you should answer: 『Existence also has a cause.』 If someone asks: 『What is the cause of existence?』 you should answer: 『It is caused by feeling.』 Ananda, if someone asks: 『Does feeling have a cause?』 you should answer: 『Feeling also has a cause.』 If someone asks: 『What is the cause of feeling?』 you should answer: 『It is caused by craving.』

English version: 'Ananda! Because of craving, there is feeling; because of feeling, there is existence; because of existence, there is birth; because of birth, there is aging and death; because of aging and death, there are sorrow, lamentation, weeping, pain, and distress, all of which arise from aging and death, thus completely forming a great mass of suffering.'

If these beings in their respective places had no birth, each having no birth, then if separated from birth, would there be aging and death?' 'Ananda!

「阿難!如果年幼的男童女童,他們的意識初次斷絕、不再存在,那麼他們的名色還會繼續增長嗎?」 回答說:「不會。」 「阿難!因此應當知道,所謂名色的因、名色的習、名色的本、名色的緣,指的就是這個識。為什麼呢?因為以識為緣,才有名色。 「阿難!如果有人問:『識有緣嗎?』應當這樣回答:『識也有緣。』如果有人問:『識以什麼為緣?』應當這樣回答:『以名色為緣。』應當知道,所謂以名色為緣而有識。阿難!如果識沒有名色,如果識不建立、不依賴於名色,那麼識怎麼會有生、有老、有病、有死、有苦呢?」 回答說:「不會有。」 「阿難!因此應當知道,所謂識的因、識的習、識的本、識的緣,指的就是這個名色。為什麼呢?因為以名色為緣,才有識。阿難!這就是以名色為緣而有識,以識為緣也有名色,由此增語,增語說傳,傳說可以施設,就是說識和名色是共同存在的。阿難!怎麼會有人認為有靈魂呢?」 尊者阿難對世尊說:「世尊是法的根本,世尊是法的主宰,法由世尊而來,希望您能為我們解說,我聽了之後,就能廣泛地瞭解其中的含義。」 佛陀便告訴阿難:「阿難!仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你分別解釋其中的含義。」尊者阿難接受教誨,認真聽講。 佛陀說:「阿難!有的人認為覺知就是靈魂,有的人認為不是覺知而是靈魂,認為靈魂能夠覺知,然而靈魂的法則是能夠覺知。有的人認為不是覺知而是靈魂,也不認為靈魂能夠覺知,然而靈魂的法則是能夠覺知,只是認為靈魂沒有覺知。
'Ananda! If a young boy or girl, whose consciousness is initially broken and no longer exists, would their name and form continue to grow?' The answer was: 'No, it would not.' 'Ananda! Therefore, it should be known that what is called the cause of name and form, the habit of name and form, the origin of name and form, and the condition of name and form, refers to this consciousness. Why is that? Because with consciousness as the condition, there is name and form.' 'Ananda! If someone asks: 'Does consciousness have a condition?' You should answer: 'Consciousness also has a condition.' If someone asks: 'What is the condition of consciousness?' You should answer: 'Name and form is the condition.' It should be known that what is called consciousness arises from the condition of name and form. Ananda! If consciousness did not have name and form, if consciousness were not established or dependent on name and form, how could consciousness have birth, old age, sickness, death, and suffering?' The answer was: 'It would not.' 'Ananda! Therefore, it should be known that what is called the cause of consciousness, the habit of consciousness, the origin of consciousness, and the condition of consciousness, refers to this name and form. Why is that? Because with name and form as the condition, there is consciousness. Ananda! This is how consciousness arises from the condition of name and form, and name and form also arise from the condition of consciousness. From this comes the increased speech, the increased speech is transmitted, and the tradition can be established, which is to say that consciousness and name and form exist together. Ananda! How can there be a view that there is a soul?' Venerable Ananda said to the World Honored One: 'World Honored One is the root of the Dharma, World Honored One is the master of the Dharma, the Dharma comes from the World Honored One. We hope that you can explain it to us, so that after listening, we can broadly understand its meaning.' The Buddha then told Ananda: 'Ananda! Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain the meaning to you separately.' Venerable Ananda accepted the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said: 'Ananda! Some people think that awareness is the soul, some people think that it is not awareness but the soul, thinking that the soul can be aware, but the law of the soul is that it can be aware. Some people think that it is not awareness but the soul, and do not think that the soul can be aware, but the law of the soul is that it can be aware, but they think that the soul has no awareness.'
。阿難!若有一見覺是神者,應當問彼:『汝有三覺:樂覺、苦覺、不苦不樂覺,汝此三覺為見何覺?是神耶?』阿難!當復語彼:『若有覺樂覺者,彼于爾時二覺滅:苦覺、不苦不樂覺,彼于爾時唯覺樂覺。樂覺者,是無常法、苦法、滅法。若樂覺已滅,彼不作是念,非為神滅耶?』阿難!若復有一覺苦覺者,彼于爾時二覺滅:樂覺、不苦不樂覺,彼于爾時唯覺苦覺。苦覺者,是無常法、苦法、滅法。若苦覺已滅,彼不作是念,非為神滅耶?阿難!若復有一覺不苦不樂覺者,彼于爾時二覺滅:樂覺、苦覺,彼于爾時唯覺不苦不樂覺。不苦不樂覺者,是無常法、苦法、滅法。若不苦不樂覺已滅,彼不作是念,非為神滅耶?阿難!彼如是無常法但離苦樂,當復見覺是神耶?」
「阿難!是故彼不應如是見覺非神,神能覺,見神法能覺
現代漢語譯本:阿難!如果有人認為感覺就是神,應該問他:『你有三種感覺:樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,你這三種感覺是哪一種感覺是神呢?』阿難!應該再告訴他:『如果感受到樂受,那時另外兩種感覺就消失了:苦受和不苦不樂受,那時他只感受到樂受。樂受是無常的、是苦的、是會消滅的。如果樂受已經消失,他不會認為,這不是神消失了嗎?』阿難!如果有人感受到苦受,那時另外兩種感覺就消失了:樂受和不苦不樂受,那時他只感受到苦受。苦受是無常的、是苦的、是會消滅的。如果苦受已經消失,他不會認為,這不是神消失了嗎?阿難!如果有人感受到不苦不樂受,那時另外兩種感覺就消失了:樂受和苦受,那時他只感受到不苦不樂受。不苦不樂受是無常的、是苦的、是會消滅的。如果不苦不樂受已經消失,他不會認為,這不是神消失了嗎?阿難!像這樣無常的、只是脫離苦樂的感覺,還會認為感覺是神嗎?』 『阿難!所以像這樣無常的、只是脫離苦樂的感覺,不應該再認為感覺是神了。阿難!如果有人不認為感覺是神,而是認為神能夠感覺,認為神的法能夠感覺,應該告訴他:『如果你沒有感覺,感覺就無法獲得,不應該說這是我所擁有的。』阿難!他還會像這樣認為感覺不是神,而是神能夠感覺,認為神的法能夠感覺嗎?』 『阿難!所以他不應該像這樣認為感覺不是神,而是神能夠感覺,認為神的法能夠感覺。』
English version: 'Ananda! If someone perceives that feeling is the self, you should ask them: 『You have three kinds of feelings: pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. Which of these three feelings is the self?』 Ananda! You should further tell them: 『If one experiences pleasant feeling, then the other two feelings cease: painful feeling and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. At that time, one only experiences pleasant feeling. Pleasant feeling is impermanent, is suffering, and is subject to cessation. If pleasant feeling has ceased, would one not think, is this not the cessation of the self?』 Ananda! If someone experiences painful feeling, then the other two feelings cease: pleasant feeling and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. At that time, one only experiences painful feeling. Painful feeling is impermanent, is suffering, and is subject to cessation. If painful feeling has ceased, would one not think, is this not the cessation of the self? Ananda! If someone experiences neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling, then the other two feelings cease: pleasant feeling and painful feeling. At that time, one only experiences neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. Neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling is impermanent, is suffering, and is subject to cessation. If neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling has ceased, would one not think, is this not the cessation of the self? Ananda! Such impermanent feelings that are merely apart from pleasure and pain, would one still perceive feeling as the self?』 The answer is: 『No.』 『Ananda! Therefore, such impermanent feelings that are merely apart from pleasure and pain, one should no longer perceive feeling as the self. Ananda! If someone does not perceive feeling as the self, but rather perceives that the self can feel, and that the self's dharma can feel, you should tell them: 『If you have no feeling, feeling cannot be obtained, and it should not be said to be something that is mine.』 Ananda! Would they still perceive that feeling is not the self, but that the self can feel, and that the self's dharma can feel?』 『Ananda! Therefore, one should not perceive that feeling is not the self, but that the self can feel, and that the self's dharma can feel.』
。阿難!若復有一不見覺是神,亦不見神能覺,然神法能覺,但見神無所覺者,應當語彼:『汝若無覺都不可得,神離覺者,不應神清凈。』阿難!彼當復見覺非神,亦不見神能覺、神法能覺,但見神無所覺耶?」
佛言:「阿難!或有一不見覺是神,亦不見神能覺,然神法能覺,亦不見神無所覺。彼如是不見已,則不受此世間,彼不受已,則不疲勞,不疲勞已,便般涅槃,我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。阿難!是謂增語,增語說傳,傳說可施設有,知是者,則無所受。阿難!若比丘如是正解脫者,此不復有見如來終,見如來不終,見如來終、不終,見如來亦非終亦非不終,是謂有一不見有神也
現代漢語譯本:阿難!如果又有人不認為感覺是神,也不認為神能感覺,而是認為神的法則是能感覺的,只認為神沒有感覺,應當告訴他:『你如果完全沒有感覺,那是不可能的,神如果離開了感覺,就不應該說神是清凈的。』阿難!他還會認為感覺不是神,也不認為神能感覺、神的法則能感覺,而只認為神沒有感覺嗎?」 『阿難!所以他不應該這樣認為感覺不是神,也不認為神能感覺、神的法則能感覺,而只認為神沒有感覺,這叫做一種認為有神的見解。阿難!怎樣才算是一種不認為有神的見解呢?』 尊者阿難對世尊說:『世尊是法的根本,世尊是法的主宰,法由世尊而來,希望您能為我們解說,我聽了之後,就能廣泛地瞭解其中的意義。』 佛陀便告訴他說:『阿難!仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你分別解釋其中的意義。』尊者阿難接受教誨,專心聽講。 佛陀說:『阿難!有的人不認為感覺是神,也不認為神能感覺,而是認為神的法則能感覺,也不認為神沒有感覺。他這樣不認為之後,就不會執著于這個世間,不執著之後,就不會疲勞,不疲勞之後,就進入涅槃,我已不再受生,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,不再受輪迴,如實地知道真理。阿難!這叫做增語,增語是口頭傳述的,傳說可以施設,知道這些的人,就不會執著。阿難!如果比丘這樣正確地解脫,就不會再有認為如來會終結,認為如來不會終結,認為如來既終結又不終結,認為如來既非終結又非不終結的見解,這叫做一種不認為有神的見解。』
English version: 'Ananda! If there is another who does not perceive feeling as the self, nor does he perceive the self as capable of feeling, but rather perceives the law of the self as capable of feeling, and only perceives the self as without feeling, one should tell him: 『If you have no feeling at all, that is impossible; if the self is separate from feeling, it should not be said that the self is pure.』 Ananda! Would he again perceive feeling as not the self, nor perceive the self as capable of feeling, nor the law of the self as capable of feeling, but only perceive the self as without feeling?' The answer was: 'No, he would not.' 'Ananda! Therefore, he should not perceive feeling as not the self, nor perceive the self as capable of feeling, nor the law of the self as capable of feeling, but only perceive the self as without feeling; this is called a view that there is a self. Ananda! How is it that one does not perceive that there is a self?' Venerable Ananda said to the Blessed One: 'The Blessed One is the root of the Dharma, the Blessed One is the master of the Dharma, the Dharma comes from the Blessed One. I beseech you to explain it, so that I, having heard it, may understand its meaning widely.' The Buddha then said: 'Ananda! Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain its meaning to you.' Venerable Ananda accepted the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said: 'Ananda! There is one who does not perceive feeling as the self, nor does he perceive the self as capable of feeling, but rather perceives the law of the self as capable of feeling, and does not perceive the self as without feeling. Having not perceived in this way, he does not cling to this world; having not clung, he is not weary; having not been weary, he attains Nirvana. My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, there is no more rebirth, knowing the truth as it is. Ananda! This is called an expression, an expression is transmitted orally, the transmission can be established, and one who knows this does not cling. Ananda! If a bhikkhu is thus rightly liberated, there will no longer be the view that the Tathagata ends, the view that the Tathagata does not end, the view that the Tathagata both ends and does not end, the view that the Tathagata is neither ending nor not ending; this is called a view that there is no self.'

English version: Furthermore, passing beyond all the sphere of infinite space, entering the sphere of infinite consciousness, this is the attainment of the sphere of infinite consciousness, this is called the fifth liberation. Furthermore, passing beyond all the sphere of infinite consciousness, entering the sphere of nothingness, this is the attainment of the sphere of nothingness, this is called the sixth liberation. Furthermore, passing beyond all the sphere of nothingness, entering the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, this is the attainment of the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, this is called the seventh liberation. Furthermore, passing beyond all the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, through the body realizing the liberation of the cessation of perception, and with wisdom observing the exhaustion of all defilements, this is called the eighth liberation. Ananda! If there is a bhikkhu who truly understands these seven abodes of consciousness and two spheres, whose mind is not attached, who attains liberation, and who can attain these eight liberations both in forward and reverse order through bodily realization, and who also with wisdom observes the exhaustion of all defilements, such a bhikkhu is an Arhat, called 'liberated in both ways.' The Great Cause Sutra, first section, ends (5472 words). (98) The Middle Length Discourses, Cause Section, The Discourse on the Foundations of Mindfulness, second (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the Kuru country, staying in the Kammadussadhamma Kuru town. At that time, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'There is one path that purifies beings, transcends sorrow and fear, extinguishes pain and distress, cuts off lamentation, and attains the true Dharma, namely the four foundations of mindfulness. If there were past Tathagatas, worthy ones, fully enlightened ones, they all abandoned the five hindrances, the defilements of the mind, and the weakness of wisdom, established their minds firmly in the four foundations of mindfulness, cultivated the seven factors of enlightenment, and thereby awakened to the unsurpassed, perfect, and complete enlightenment. If there will be future Tathagatas, worthy ones, fully enlightened ones, they too will abandon the five hindrances, the defilements of the mind, and the weakness of wisdom, establish their minds firmly in the four foundations of mindfulness, cultivate the seven factors of enlightenment, and thereby awaken to the unsurpassed, perfect, and complete enlightenment.'

English version: I, the Tathagata, now, without attachment, have attained the Supreme Perfect Enlightenment. I have also severed the five hindrances, cleansed the defilements of the mind and the weakness of wisdom, established my mind steadfastly in the four foundations of mindfulness, cultivated the seven factors of enlightenment, and attained the supreme and perfect awakening. 'What are the four? The contemplation of the body as the body, and similarly the contemplation of feelings, mind, and dharmas as feelings, mind, and dharmas. 'How does one contemplate the body as the body?' A bhikkhu, when walking, knows 'I am walking'; when standing, knows 'I am standing'; when sitting, knows 'I am sitting'; when lying down, knows 'I am lying down'; when sleeping, knows 'I am sleeping'; when awake, knows 'I am awake'; when half-asleep, knows 'I am half-asleep'. Thus, a bhikkhu contemplates his own body as the body, contemplates the bodies of others as the body, establishes mindfulness in the body, has awareness, has insight, has clarity, has understanding. This is called a bhikkhu contemplating the body as the body. Furthermore, a bhikkhu contemplates the body as the body. A bhikkhu maintains right awareness in going out and coming in, observes and discerns well, bending, stretching, lowering, raising, with dignified and orderly deportment, properly wearing the sanghati and other robes and bowls, maintaining right awareness in walking, standing, sitting, lying down, sleeping, waking, speaking, and being silent. Thus, a bhikkhu contemplates his own body as the body, contemplates the bodies of others as the body, establishes mindfulness in the body, has awareness, has insight, has clarity, has understanding. This is called a bhikkhu contemplating the body as the body. Furthermore, a bhikkhu contemplates the body as the body. If a bhikkhu generates evil and unwholesome thoughts, he uses wholesome thoughts to manage, cut off, and cease them, just like a carpenter or a carpenter's apprentice who holds an ink line, uses it to mark the wood, and then uses a sharp axe to chop and make the wood straight. Similarly, if a bhikkhu generates evil and unwholesome thoughts, he uses wholesome thoughts to manage, cut off, and cease them. Thus, a bhikkhu contemplates his own body as the body, contemplates the bodies of others as the body, establishes mindfulness in the body, has awareness, has insight, has clarity, has understanding. This is called a bhikkhu contemplating the body as the body. Furthermore, a bhikkhu contemplates the body as the body. A bhikkhu gently touches his teeth together, presses his tongue against the upper palate, and uses the mind to control the mind, managing, cutting off, and ceasing evil thoughts. Just like two strong men grab a weak man, spinning him around and striking him at will. Similarly, a bhikkhu gently touches his teeth together, presses his tongue against the upper palate, and uses the mind to control the mind, managing, cutting off, and ceasing evil thoughts.

English version: If a bhikkhu observes his own body as body, observes the body of others as body, establishes mindfulness on the body, has knowledge, vision, clarity, and understanding, this is called a bhikkhu observing the body as body. English version: Furthermore, a bhikkhu observes the body as body. When a bhikkhu breathes in, he knows he is breathing in; when he breathes out, he knows he is breathing out. When breathing in long, he knows he is breathing in long; when breathing out long, he knows he is breathing out long. When breathing in short, he knows he is breathing in short; when breathing out short, he knows he is breathing out short. He trains himself to be aware of the whole body while breathing in, trains himself to be aware of the whole body while breathing out, trains himself to calm the bodily activity while breathing in, trains himself to calm the bodily activity while breathing out. Thus, a bhikkhu observes his own body as body, observes the body of others as body, establishes mindfulness on the body, has knowledge, vision, clarity, and understanding, this is called a bhikkhu observing the body as body. English version: Furthermore, a bhikkhu observes the body as body. A bhikkhu, with the joy and happiness born of seclusion, permeates, saturates, and pervades this body, so that there is no part of his body not pervaded by the joy and happiness born of seclusion. Just as a bath attendant mixes bath powder with water in a vessel, and the water permeates, saturates, and pervades the powder, so that there is no part of the powder not pervaded by the water. Similarly, a bhikkhu, with the joy and happiness born of seclusion, permeates, saturates, and pervades this body, so that there is no part of his body not pervaded by the joy and happiness born of seclusion. Thus, a bhikkhu observes his own body as body, observes the body of others as body, establishes mindfulness on the body, has knowledge, vision, clarity, and understanding, this is called a bhikkhu observing the body as body. English version: Furthermore, a bhikkhu observes the body as body. A bhikkhu, with the joy and happiness born of concentration, permeates, saturates, and pervades this body, so that there is no part of his body not pervaded by the joy and happiness born of concentration. Just as a mountain spring, clear and unpolluted, is full and overflowing, and water from the four directions cannot enter, but water from the spring itself gushes forth, overflowing and saturating the mountain, so that there is no part of the mountain not pervaded by the water. Similarly, a bhikkhu, with the joy and happiness born of concentration, permeates, saturates, and pervades this body, so that there is no part of his body not pervaded by the joy and happiness born of concentration.

'If a bhikkhu observes thus: observing the inner body as the body itself, observing the outer body as the body itself, establishing mindfulness on the body, having knowledge, vision, clarity, and understanding, this is what is called a bhikkhu observing the body as the body itself.
'Furthermore, a bhikkhu observing the body as the body itself, this bhikkhu, in the absence of joy, generates happiness, which permeates and fills the body, with no place where this joy is not present. Just like blue lotuses, red lotuses, crimson lotuses, and white lotuses, which grow in water, their roots, stems, flowers, and leaves are all soaked and filled with water, with no place not covered. Similarly, a bhikkhu, in the absence of joy, generates happiness, which permeates and fills the body, with no place where this joy is not present. Thus, a bhikkhu observes the inner body as the body itself, observes the outer body as the body itself, establishes mindfulness on the body, having knowledge, vision, clarity, and understanding, this is what is called a bhikkhu observing the body as the body itself.
'Furthermore, a bhikkhu observing the body as the body itself, this bhikkhu, with a pure mind, is liberated and pervades this body, with a pure mind, there is no place not pervaded. Just like a person wearing a garment of seven or eight cubits, from head to foot, there is no part of the body not covered. Similarly, a bhikkhu, with a pure mind, pervades this body, with no place not pervaded. Thus, a bhikkhu observes the inner body as the body itself, observes the outer body as the body itself, establishes mindfulness on the body, having knowledge, vision, clarity, and understanding, this is what is called a bhikkhu observing the body as the body itself.
'Furthermore, a bhikkhu observing the body as the body itself, this bhikkhu remembers the thought of light, well received, well held, well remembered, as before and after, as after and before, as day and night, as night and day, as below and above, as above and below. Thus, without being inverted, with no entanglements in the mind, cultivating the mind of light, the mind will never be covered by darkness. Thus, a bhikkhu observes the inner body as the body itself, observes the outer body as the body itself, establishes mindfulness on the body, having knowledge, vision, clarity, and understanding, this is what is called a bhikkhu observing the body as the body itself.'
'If a monk observes the body in this way: observing the inner body as the body, observing the outer body as the body, establishing mindfulness on the body, having knowledge, vision, clarity, and understanding, this is what is called a monk observing the body as the body.' 'Furthermore, a monk observing the body as the body, this monk, without joy, generates happiness, which permeates and saturates the body, with no place where this joy does not pervade. Just as blue lotuses, red lotuses, crimson lotuses, and white lotuses, which grow in water, their roots, stems, flowers, and leaves are all soaked and saturated, completely pervading without any place not covered. Similarly, a monk, without joy, generates happiness, which permeates and saturates the body, with no place where this joy does not pervade. Thus, a monk observes the inner body as the body, observes the outer body as the body, establishes mindfulness on the body, having knowledge, vision, clarity, and understanding, this is what is called a monk observing the body as the body.' 'Furthermore, a monk observing the body as the body, this monk, with a pure mind, is liberated and pervades this body, with a pure mind, there is no place not pervaded.

'Furthermore, a bhikkhu contemplates the body as the body. A bhikkhu is one who is good at perceiving the characteristics of observation, and good at remembering what is thought, just as a person sitting observes a person lying down, or a person lying down observes a person sitting.

Furthermore, a bhikkhu observes the body as the body. What is a bhikkhu? For example, he sees the path of breath, bones as white as conch shells, blue like the color of a dove, red like smeared blood, decayed and broken into powder. Having seen this, he compares it to himself: 『Now, my body is also like this, possessing this nature, and ultimately cannot escape it.』 In this way, a bhikkhu observes his inner body as the body, observes the outer body as the body, establishes mindfulness on the body, has knowledge and vision, has clarity and understanding. This is what is called a bhikkhu observing the body as the body. If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni observes the body as the body in this way, even a little, this is called the mindfulness of observing the body as the body.
『How does one observe feeling as feeling in the mindfulness of feeling?』 What is a bhikkhu? When he feels a pleasant feeling, he knows he is feeling a pleasant feeling. When he feels a painful feeling, he knows he is feeling a painful feeling. When he feels a neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling, he knows he is feeling a neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. He feels the pleasantness of the body, the pain of the body, the neither-pleasant-nor-painful of the body; the pleasantness of the mind, the pain of the mind, the neither-pleasant-nor-painful of the mind; the pleasantness of food, the pain of food, the neither-pleasant-nor-painful of food; the pleasantness of no food, the pain of no food, the neither-pleasant-nor-painful of no food; the pleasantness of desire, the pain of desire, the neither-pleasant-nor-painful of desire. When he feels the pleasantness of no desire, the pain of no desire, the neither-pleasant-nor-painful of no desire, he knows he is feeling the neither-pleasant-nor-painful of no desire. In this way, a bhikkhu observes his inner feeling as feeling, observes the outer feeling as feeling, establishes mindfulness on feeling, has knowledge and vision, has clarity and understanding. This is what is called a bhikkhu observing feeling as feeling. If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni observes feeling as feeling in this way, even a little, this is called the mindfulness of observing feeling as feeling.
『How does one observe mind as mind in the mindfulness of mind?』 What is a bhikkhu? When he has a mind with desire, he knows that he has a mind with desire as it truly is; when he has a mind without desire, he knows that he has a mind without desire as it truly is; with anger, without anger; with delusion, without delusion; with defilement, without defilement; with gathering, with scattering; with lowness, with highness; with smallness, with greatness; with cultivation, without cultivation; with concentration, without concentration; with an unliberated mind, he knows that he has an unliberated mind as it truly is; with a liberated mind, he knows that he has a liberated mind as it truly is. In this way, a bhikkhu observes his inner mind as mind, observes the outer mind as mind, establishes mindfulness on the mind, has knowledge and vision, has clarity and understanding. This is what is called a bhikkhu observing mind as mind.

English version: If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni thus observes the mind a little, as the mind itself, this is called observing the mind as the mind, the mindfulness of mind. English version: 'How does one observe the Dhamma as the Dhamma, the mindfulness of Dhamma?' When the eye contacts a form, internal fetters arise. A bhikkhu should know, if there are indeed internal fetters, he knows truly that there are internal fetters; if there are indeed no internal fetters, he knows truly that there are no internal fetters; if internal fetters that have not yet arisen arise, he knows truly that they have arisen; if internal fetters that have already arisen cease and do not arise again, he knows truly that they have ceased and do not arise again. The same applies to the ear, nose, tongue, and body. When the mind contacts a Dhamma, internal fetters arise. A bhikkhu should know, if there are indeed internal fetters, he knows truly that there are internal fetters; if there are indeed no internal fetters, he knows truly that there are no internal fetters; if internal fetters that have not yet arisen arise, he knows truly that they have arisen; if internal fetters that have already arisen cease and do not arise again, he knows truly that they have ceased and do not arise again. Thus, a bhikkhu observes the internal Dhamma as the Dhamma, observes the external Dhamma as the Dhamma, establishes mindfulness in the Dhamma, has knowledge and vision, has clarity and understanding. This is called a bhikkhu observing the Dhamma as the Dhamma, referring to the six internal sense bases. English version: 'Furthermore, a bhikkhu observes the Dhamma as the Dhamma.' A bhikkhu should know, if there is indeed desire, he knows truly that there is desire; if there is indeed no desire, he knows truly that there is no desire; if desire that has not yet arisen arises, he knows truly that it has arisen; if desire that has already arisen ceases and does not arise again, he knows truly that it has ceased and does not arise again. The same applies to anger, sleepiness, and restlessness. If there is indeed doubt, he knows truly that there is doubt; if there is indeed no doubt, he knows truly that there is no doubt; if doubt that has not yet arisen arises, he knows truly that it has arisen; if doubt that has already arisen ceases and does not arise again, he knows truly that it has ceased and does not arise again. Thus, a bhikkhu observes the internal Dhamma as the Dhamma, observes the external Dhamma as the Dhamma, establishes mindfulness in the Dhamma, has knowledge and vision, has clarity and understanding. This is called a bhikkhu observing the Dhamma as the Dhamma, referring to the five hindrances. English version: 'Furthermore, a bhikkhu observes the Dhamma as the Dhamma.' A bhikkhu should know, if there is indeed the mindfulness enlightenment factor, he knows truly that there is the mindfulness enlightenment factor; if there is indeed no mindfulness enlightenment factor, he knows truly that there is no mindfulness enlightenment factor; if the mindfulness enlightenment factor that has not yet arisen arises, he knows truly that it has arisen; if the mindfulness enlightenment factor that has already arisen abides without being forgotten, does not decline, and is developed and expanded, he knows truly that it is developed and expanded. The same applies to Dhamma, effort, joy, tranquility, and concentration.
。比丘者,內實有舍覺支知有舍覺支如真,內實無舍覺支知無舍覺支如真,若未生舍覺支而生者知如真,若已生舍覺支便住不忘而不衰退,轉修增廣者知如真。如是比丘觀內法如法,觀外法如法,立念在法,有知有見,有明有達,是謂比丘觀法如法,謂七覺支。若有比丘、比丘尼如是少少觀法如法者,是謂觀法如法念處。
「若有比丘、比丘尼七年立心正住四念處者,彼必得二果,或現法得究竟智,或有餘得阿那含,置七年,六五四三二一年。若有比丘、比丘尼七月立心正住四念處者,彼必得二果,或現法得究竟智,或有餘得阿那含,置七月,六五四三二一月。若有比丘、比丘尼七日七夜立心正住四念處者,彼必得二果,或現法得究竟智,或有餘得阿那含,置七日七夜,六五四三二,置一日一夜。若有比丘、比丘尼少少須臾頃立心正住四念處者,彼朝行如是,暮必得升進,暮行如是,朝必得升進。」
現代漢語譯本:比丘(修行者)如果內心確實有舍覺支,就如實知道自己有舍覺支;如果內心確實沒有舍覺支,就如實知道自己沒有舍覺支;如果未生起舍覺支而生起,就如實知道;如果已生起的舍覺支能夠保持不忘失、不衰退,並且能夠進一步修習增長,也如實知道。像這樣,比丘觀察自己內心的法,如實地觀察;觀察外在的法,也如實地觀察;將正念安立在法上,有知有見,有明有達。這就是比丘如實觀察法,也就是指七覺支。如果有比丘或比丘尼能夠這樣稍微地如實觀察法,這就是所謂的如實觀察法的念處。 如果比丘或比丘尼能夠七年專心安住於四念處,他們必定會獲得兩種果位之一:要麼在今生獲得究竟的智慧,要麼在來生證得阿那含果。如果不是七年,六年、五年、四年、三年、二年、一年也可以。如果比丘或比丘尼能夠七個月專心安住於四念處,他們必定會獲得兩種果位之一:要麼在今生獲得究竟的智慧,要麼在來生證得阿那含果。如果不是七個月,六個月、五個月、四個月、三個月、兩個月、一個月也可以。如果比丘或比丘尼能夠七天七夜專心安住於四念處,他們必定會獲得兩種果位之一:要麼在今生獲得究竟的智慧,要麼在來生證得阿那含果。如果不是七天七夜,六天、五天、四天、三天、兩天,甚至一天一夜也可以。如果比丘或比丘尼能夠稍微片刻專心安住於四念處,他們早上這樣修行,晚上必定會有進步;晚上這樣修行,早上必定會有進步。 佛陀就是這樣說的。那些比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。
English version: A bhikkhu, when there is the mindfulness factor of equanimity within him, knows, 『There is the mindfulness factor of equanimity within me,』 as it really is. When there is not the mindfulness factor of equanimity within him, he knows, 『There is not the mindfulness factor of equanimity within me,』 as it really is. When the mindfulness factor of equanimity that has not arisen arises, he knows it as it really is. When the mindfulness factor of equanimity that has arisen is maintained without forgetting, without decline, and is developed and expanded, he knows it as it really is. Thus, a bhikkhu dwells contemplating the inner phenomena as phenomena, the outer phenomena as phenomena, establishing mindfulness in phenomena, with knowledge and vision, with clarity and understanding. This is how a bhikkhu dwells contemplating phenomena as phenomena, referring to the seven factors of enlightenment. If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni dwells contemplating phenomena as phenomena even a little, this is called the establishment of mindfulness in phenomena. If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni establishes their mind rightly in the four foundations of mindfulness for seven years, they will surely attain one of two fruits: either final knowledge in this very life, or, if there is any remainder, the state of a non-returner. Setting aside seven years, it could be six, five, four, three, two, or one year. If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni establishes their mind rightly in the four foundations of mindfulness for seven months, they will surely attain one of two fruits: either final knowledge in this very life, or, if there is any remainder, the state of a non-returner. Setting aside seven months, it could be six, five, four, three, two, or one month. If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni establishes their mind rightly in the four foundations of mindfulness for seven days and nights, they will surely attain one of two fruits: either final knowledge in this very life, or, if there is any remainder, the state of a non-returner. Setting aside seven days and nights, it could be six, five, four, three, two, or even one day and night. If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni establishes their mind rightly in the four foundations of mindfulness for even a short moment, if they practice like this in the morning, they will surely progress by evening; if they practice like this in the evening, they will surely progress by morning. Thus spoke the Buddha. Those bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha』s words, practiced accordingly.

(九九)因品苦陰經第三(第二小土城誦)
爾時,諸比丘于中食后,少有所為,集坐講堂。於是眾多異學,中后仿佯往詣諸比丘所,共相問訊,卻坐一面,語諸比丘:「諸賢!沙門瞿曇施設知斷欲,施設知斷色,施設知斷覺。諸賢!我等亦施設知斷欲,施設知斷色,施設知斷覺。沙門瞿曇及我等此二知二斷,為有何勝?有何差別?」
於是,諸比丘聞彼眾多異學所說,不是亦不非,默然起去,並作是念:「如此所說,我等當從世尊得知。」便詣佛所,稽首作禮,卻坐一面,謂與眾多異學所可共論,盡向佛說。
彼時,世尊告諸比丘:「汝等即時應如是問眾多異學:『諸賢!云何欲味?云何欲患?云何欲出要?云何色味?云何色患?云何色出要?云何覺味?云何覺患?云何覺出要?』諸比丘!若汝等作如是問者,彼等聞已,便更互相難說外餘事,瞋諍轉增,必從座起,默然而退
《念處經》第二部分結束(三千一百三十七字) 《中阿含經》卷第二十四(八千六百九字)(第二小土城誦) 《中阿含經》卷第二十五 (九九)因品《苦陰經》第三(第二小土城誦) 那時,眾比丘在午飯後,稍作休息,聚集在講堂。這時,許多外道學者,在午後徘徊來到眾比丘處,互相問候后,坐在一旁,對眾比丘說:『諸位賢者!沙門瞿曇教導斷除慾望,教導斷除色,教導斷除感受。諸位賢者!我們也教導斷除慾望,教導斷除色,教導斷除感受。沙門瞿曇和我們這兩者所教導的斷除,有什麼優勝之處?有什麼差別?』 於是,眾比丘聽了那些外道學者所說,既不肯定也不否定,默默地起身離開,並想著:『這些話,我們應當從世尊那裡得知。』便前往佛陀處,頂禮后,坐在一旁,將與那些外道學者所討論的內容,全部向佛陀說了。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『你們應當立即這樣問那些外道學者:『諸位賢者!什麼是慾望的滋味?什麼是慾望的過患?什麼是慾望的解脫之道?什麼是色的滋味?什麼是色的過患?什麼是色的解脫之道?什麼是感受的滋味?什麼是感受的過患?什麼是感受的解脫之道?』諸比丘!如果你們這樣問他們,他們聽了之後,就會互相爭論其他無關的事情,嗔恨爭吵會更加激烈,必定會從座位上起身,默默地退去。
The second section of the 'Discourse on the Foundations of Mindfulness' concludes (3137 characters). The twenty-fourth fascicle of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' (8609 characters) (Second recitation of the Small Earth City). The twenty-fifth fascicle of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra'. (99) The third discourse on 'The Aggregate of Suffering' from the 'Causes' section (Second recitation of the Small Earth City). At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Shravasti, residing in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, the monks, after their midday meal, having attended to their duties, gathered in the lecture hall. Then, many non-Buddhist scholars, wandering about in the afternoon, approached the monks, exchanged greetings, and sat down to one side. They said to the monks, 'Venerable ones! The Shramana Gautama teaches the abandonment of desire, teaches the abandonment of form, and teaches the abandonment of feeling. Venerable ones! We also teach the abandonment of desire, teach the abandonment of form, and teach the abandonment of feeling. What is the superiority or difference between the abandonment taught by the Shramana Gautama and the abandonment taught by us?' Then, the monks, having heard what those non-Buddhist scholars said, neither affirmed nor denied it, but silently rose and departed, thinking, 'We should learn about this from the Blessed One.' They went to the Buddha, bowed their heads in reverence, sat down to one side, and told the Buddha everything they had discussed with those non-Buddhist scholars. At that time, the Blessed One said to the monks, 'You should immediately ask those non-Buddhist scholars this: 'Venerable ones! What is the gratification of desire? What is the danger of desire? What is the escape from desire? What is the gratification of form? What is the danger of form? What is the escape from form? What is the gratification of feeling? What is the danger of feeling? What is the escape from feeling?' Monks! If you ask them this, upon hearing it, they will argue with each other about other irrelevant matters, their anger and contention will increase, and they will surely rise from their seats and silently depart.'
。所以者何?我不見此世,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志、一切餘眾,能知此義而發遣者,唯有如來、如來弟子或從此聞。」
佛言:「云何欲味?謂因五欲功德,生樂生喜,極是欲味,無復過是,所患甚多。
「云何欲患?族姓子者,隨其伎術以自存活,或作田業、或行治生、或以學書、或明算術、或知工數、或巧刻印、或作文章、或造手筆、或曉經書、或作勇將、或奉事王。彼寒時則寒,熱時則熱,飢渴、疲勞、蚊虻所蜇,作如是業,求圖錢財。彼族姓子如是方便,作如是行,作如是求,若不得錢財者,便生憂苦、愁戚、懊惱,心則生癡,作如是說:『唐作唐苦,所求無果。』彼族姓子如是方便作如是行,作如是求,若得錢財者,彼便愛惜,守護密藏。所以者何?『我此財物,莫令王奪、賊劫、火燒、腐壞、亡失,出財無利,或作諸業,而不成就。』彼作如是守護密藏,若有王奪、賊劫、火燒、腐壞、亡失,便生憂苦、愁戚、懊惱,心則生癡,作如是說:『若有長夜所可愛念者,彼則亡失。』是謂現法苦陰,因欲緣欲,以欲為本。
「複次,眾生因欲緣欲,以欲為本故,母共子諍,子共母諍,父子、兄弟、姊妹、親族展轉共諍
現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?我沒有看到這個世間,包括天神、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門以及其他一切眾生,能夠理解這個道理並加以闡述的,只有如來、如來的弟子或者從他們那裡聽聞過的人。 佛說:『什麼是慾望的滋味呢?就是因為五種慾望的功德,產生快樂和喜悅,這便是慾望的極致滋味,沒有比這更強烈的了,但它帶來的禍患也很多。』 『什麼是慾望的禍患呢?一個出身良好的人,爲了維持生計,會從事各種技藝,比如耕田、經商、學習書寫、精通算術、瞭解工程技術、擅長雕刻印章、寫作文章、書法繪畫、通曉經典、擔任將領或者侍奉君王。他們寒冷時會感到寒冷,炎熱時會感到炎熱,還會遭受飢餓、乾渴、疲勞以及蚊蟲叮咬。他們從事這些工作,是爲了追求錢財。如果他們這樣努力,這樣行動,這樣追求,卻得不到錢財,就會產生憂愁、痛苦、悲傷、懊惱,內心變得愚癡,會說:『白白地勞作,白白地受苦,所追求的沒有結果。』如果他們這樣努力,這樣行動,這樣追求,得到了錢財,就會愛惜、守護、秘密地藏起來。這是為什麼呢?因為他們會想:『我的這些財物,不要被國王奪走、被盜賊搶走、被火燒燬、腐爛損壞、丟失,或者拿出去投資卻沒有任何收益,或者做其他事情卻不能成功。』他們這樣守護秘密地藏起來,如果被國王奪走、被盜賊搶走、被火燒燬、腐爛損壞、丟失,就會產生憂愁、痛苦、悲傷、懊惱,內心變得愚癡,會說:『那些我長久以來喜愛和珍視的東西,都失去了。』這就是現世的苦惱,因慾望而起,以慾望為根本。 『此外,眾生因為慾望,以慾望為根本,所以母親和兒子爭吵,兒子和母親爭吵,父子、兄弟、姐妹、親戚之間也互相爭吵。
English version: What is the reason for this? I do not see in this world, including gods, demons, Brahma, ascetics, Brahmins, and all other beings, anyone who can understand this meaning and explain it, except for the Tathagata, the Tathagata's disciples, or those who have heard it from them. The Buddha said, 'What is the taste of desire? It is the pleasure and joy that arise from the merits of the five desires. This is the ultimate taste of desire, and there is nothing greater, but it also brings many troubles.' 'What are the troubles of desire? A person of good birth, in order to make a living, will engage in various skills, such as farming, trading, learning to write, mastering arithmetic, understanding engineering, being skilled in carving seals, writing articles, calligraphy and painting, understanding classics, serving as a general, or serving a king. They will feel cold when it is cold, and hot when it is hot. They will also suffer from hunger, thirst, fatigue, and mosquito bites. They engage in these activities in order to pursue wealth. If they work hard, act in this way, and pursue in this way, but do not obtain wealth, they will experience worry, suffering, sadness, and frustration, and their minds will become foolish, saying, 'I have worked in vain, suffered in vain, and what I have sought has come to nothing.' If they work hard, act in this way, and pursue in this way, and obtain wealth, they will cherish it, guard it, and secretly hide it. Why is this? Because they will think, 'May my wealth not be taken by the king, robbed by thieves, burned by fire, decayed and damaged, or lost, or invested without any return, or used for other things without success.' If they guard it secretly and it is taken by the king, robbed by thieves, burned by fire, decayed and damaged, or lost, they will experience worry, suffering, sadness, and frustration, and their minds will become foolish, saying, 'Those things that I have loved and cherished for a long time are lost.' This is the suffering of the present life, arising from desire and rooted in desire.' 'Furthermore, because beings are driven by desire and rooted in desire, mothers quarrel with sons, sons quarrel with mothers, fathers and sons, brothers, sisters, and relatives quarrel with each other.'
。彼既如是共鬥諍已,母說子惡,子說母惡,父子、兄弟、姊妹、親族更相說惡,況復他人?是謂現法苦陰,因欲緣欲,以欲為本。
「複次,眾生因欲緣欲,以欲為本故,王王共諍,梵志梵志共諍,居士居士共諍,民民共諍,國國共諍,彼因斗諍共相憎故,以種種器仗,轉相加害,或以拳叉石擲,或以杖打刀斫,彼當斗時,或死、或怖,受極重苦,是謂現法苦陰,因欲緣欲,以欲為本。

現代漢語譯本:他們這樣互相爭鬥之後,母親說兒子的壞話,兒子說母親的壞話,父子、兄弟、姐妹、親戚之間互相說壞話,更何況是其他人呢?這就是現世的苦惱,因為慾望而產生,以慾望為根本。 再者,眾生因為慾望而產生,以慾望為根本,所以國王與國王爭鬥,婆羅門與婆羅門爭鬥,居士與居士爭鬥,民眾與民眾爭鬥,國家與國家爭鬥。他們因為爭鬥而互相憎恨,用各種武器互相傷害,或者用拳頭、叉子、石頭投擲,或者用棍棒、刀砍。他們在爭鬥時,或者死亡,或者恐懼,遭受極大的痛苦,這就是現世的苦惱,因為慾望而產生,以慾望為根本。 再者,眾生因為慾望而產生,以慾望為根本,所以穿上鎧甲,披上戰袍,拿著長矛弓箭,或者拿著刀盾進入軍隊陣營,或者用象戰鬥,或者用馬、或者用戰車,或者用步兵,或者用男女戰鬥。他們在戰鬥時,或者死亡,或者恐懼,遭受極大的痛苦,這就是現世的苦惱,因為慾望而產生,以慾望為根本。 再者,眾生因為慾望而產生,以慾望為根本,所以穿上鎧甲,披上戰袍,拿著長矛弓箭,或者拿著刀盾去攻打其他國家,攻城破寨,互相格鬥,敲鼓吹角,高聲呼喊,或者用錘子打,或者用矛戟,或者用利輪,或者用箭射,或者亂扔石頭,或者用大型弩箭,或者用熔化的銅珠子潑灑。他們在戰鬥時,或者死亡,或者恐懼,遭受極大的痛苦,這就是現世的苦惱,因為慾望而產生,以慾望為根本。 再者,眾生因為慾望而產生,以慾望為根本,所以穿上鎧甲,披上戰袍,拿著長矛弓箭,或者拿著刀盾進入村莊、城鎮、國家、城市,穿墻挖洞偷盜財物,攔截王路,或者到其他巷道,破壞村莊,危害城鎮,滅亡國家,攻破城市。
English version: After they have thus contended with each other, the mother speaks ill of the son, the son speaks ill of the mother, father and son, brothers, sisters, and relatives speak ill of each other, let alone others? This is called the present suffering, arising from desire, rooted in desire. Furthermore, because beings arise from desire, are conditioned by desire, and are rooted in desire, kings contend with kings, Brahmins contend with Brahmins, householders contend with householders, people contend with people, and countries contend with countries. Because they hate each other due to contention, they harm each other with various weapons, or with fists, forks, and stones, or with sticks, and swords. When they fight, they either die or are terrified, suffering extreme pain. This is called the present suffering, arising from desire, rooted in desire. Furthermore, because beings arise from desire, are conditioned by desire, and are rooted in desire, they put on armor and robes, hold spears and arrows, or hold swords and shields, and enter the army, or fight with elephants, or with horses, or with chariots, or with infantry, or with men and women. When they fight, they either die or are terrified, suffering extreme pain. This is called the present suffering, arising from desire, rooted in desire. Furthermore, because beings arise from desire, are conditioned by desire, and are rooted in desire, they put on armor and robes, hold spears and arrows, or hold swords and shields, and go to seize other countries, attack cities and fortresses, fight each other, beat drums and blow horns, shout loudly, or strike with hammers, or with spears, or with sharp wheels, or shoot with arrows, or throw stones randomly, or use large crossbows, or sprinkle molten copper beads. When they fight, they either die or are terrified, suffering extreme pain. This is called the present suffering, arising from desire, rooted in desire. Furthermore, because beings arise from desire, are conditioned by desire, and are rooted in desire, they put on armor and robes, hold spears and arrows, or hold swords and shields, and enter villages, towns, countries, and cities, break through walls to steal treasures, block royal roads, or go to other alleys, destroy villages, harm towns, destroy countries, and break cities.

現代漢語譯本:如果他們被國王的人抓住,會遭受各種審訊和懲罰,例如被砍手、砍腳或手腳都被砍掉,被割耳朵、割鼻子或耳鼻都被割掉,或者被一塊塊地割肉,拔鬍鬚、拔頭髮或鬍鬚頭髮都被拔掉,或者被關在籠子里用裹著衣服的火燒,或者用沙子覆蓋、草纏繞後用火燒,或者被塞進鐵驢的肚子里,或者被塞進鐵豬的嘴裡,或者被放在鐵老虎的嘴裡燒,或者被放在銅鍋里,或者被放在鐵鍋里煮,或者被一段段地砍斷,或者被鋒利的叉子刺,或者被鐵鉤鉤住,或者躺在鐵床上被沸騰的油澆,或者坐在鐵臼里被鐵杵搗,或者被龍蛇咬,或者被鞭子抽打,或者被棍子敲打,或者被棒子打,或者被活生生地穿在高高的標桿上,或者被砍下頭顱。他們身處其中,或死或恐懼,遭受極大的痛苦,這就是所謂的現世苦陰,因慾望而起,以慾望為根本。 現代漢語譯本:再者,眾生因為慾望,以慾望為根本,所以做出身體的惡行,做出口和意念的惡行。他們在後來,生病臥床,或者坐著、躺在地上,被痛苦折磨身體,遭受極大的、不可喜愛的痛苦。如果他們有身體的惡行,口和意念的惡行,那麼在他們臨終時,這些惡行會在他們面前遮蔽,就像太陽快要落山時,大山崗側的陰影遮蔽大地一樣。這樣,如果他們有身體的惡行,口和意念的惡行,就會在他們面前遮蔽,他們會這樣想:『我本來的惡行,現在遮蔽著我,我本來沒有做過善事,做了很多惡事。如果有人作惡兇暴,只為犯罪,不做善事,不行善,無所畏懼,無所依靠,無所歸宿,隨其所生之處,我必定會生在那裡。』因此而產生後悔,後悔的人不能善終,沒有福報而死去,這就是所謂的現世苦陰,因慾望而起,以慾望為根本。
English version: If they are caught by the king's men, they will be subjected to various interrogations and punishments, such as having their hands cut off, their feet cut off, or both hands and feet cut off, having their ears cut off, their noses cut off, or both ears and noses cut off, or having their flesh cut into pieces, having their beards pulled out, their hair pulled out, or both beards and hair pulled out, or being locked in a cage and burned with fire wrapped in clothes, or being covered with sand, wrapped in grass and then burned with fire, or being stuffed into the belly of an iron donkey, or being stuffed into the mouth of an iron pig, or being placed in the mouth of an iron tiger to be burned, or being placed in a copper pot, or being boiled in an iron pot, or being cut into sections, or being pierced with sharp forks, or being hooked with iron hooks, or lying on an iron bed and being poured with boiling oil, or sitting in an iron mortar and being pounded with an iron pestle, or being stung by dragons and snakes, or being whipped, or being struck with sticks, or being beaten with clubs, or being impaled alive on high poles, or having their heads cut off. They are in this situation, either dying or terrified, suffering extreme pain. This is called the present suffering of the aggregates, arising from desire, with desire as its root. English version: Furthermore, sentient beings, because of desire, with desire as their root, commit evil deeds with their bodies, commit evil deeds with their mouths and minds. Later, they become ill and bedridden, or sit or lie on the ground, their bodies tormented by suffering, experiencing extreme and unpleasant pain. If they have committed evil deeds with their bodies, mouths, and minds, then at the time of their death, these evil deeds will obscure them, just as when the sun is about to set, the shadow on the side of a large mountain obscures the earth. Thus, if they have committed evil deeds with their bodies, mouths, and minds, these will obscure them, and they will think: 'My original evil deeds are now obscuring me. I have not done good deeds, but have done many evil deeds. If there are those who commit evil and violence, only for the sake of sin, not doing good deeds, not practicing virtue, without fear, without reliance, without refuge, wherever they are born, I will surely be born there.' From this arises remorse, and those who are remorseful do not die well, and die without merit. This is called the present suffering of the aggregates, arising from desire, with desire as its root.
「複次,眾生因欲緣欲,以欲為本故,行身惡行,行口、意惡行,彼因身、口、意惡行故,因此、緣此,身壞命終,必至惡處,生地獄中,是謂後世苦陰,因欲緣欲,以欲為本,是謂欲患。

『再者,眾生因為慾望,以慾望為緣由,以慾望為根本,所以做出身體的惡行,做出言語和意念的惡行。他們因為身體、言語和意念的惡行,因此,因為這些緣由,身體敗壞,生命終結,必定會墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。這就是所謂的後世苦陰,因為慾望,以慾望為緣由,以慾望為根本,這就是所謂的慾望的禍患。 『什麼是脫離慾望的關鍵?如果斷除慾望,捨棄慾望,滅盡慾望,超越慾望,脫離慾望的關鍵就在於此。如果有沙門或婆羅門,對於慾望的滋味、慾望的禍患、脫離慾望的關鍵不能如實知曉,他們最終不能自己斷除慾望,更何況能斷除他人的慾望呢?如果有沙門或婆羅門,對於慾望的滋味、慾望的禍患、脫離慾望的關鍵能夠如實知曉,他們既能自己斷除慾望,也能斷除他人的慾望。 『什麼是色慾的滋味?如果剎帝利女子、婆羅門女子、居士女子、工匠女子,年齡十四五歲,她們在那時,容貌最為美好。如果因為她們的美貌,以她們的美貌為緣由,產生快樂和喜悅,這就是色慾的極致滋味,沒有比這更過的了,但禍患也很多。 『什麼是色慾的禍患?如果看到她們的美麗,但之後她們變得極其衰老,頭髮變白,牙齒脫落,駝背彎腰,拄著枴杖行走,盛年壯麗的日子衰退,壽命將盡,身體顫抖,各種器官衰敗成熟,你們覺得如何?如果原本有美貌,它消失後會產生禍患嗎?』 『再者,如果看到她們生病臥床,或坐或臥在地上,被痛苦折磨身體,承受極大的痛苦,你們覺得如何?如果原本有美貌,它消失後會產生禍患嗎?』回答說:『是的。』 『再者,如果看到她們死去,或一兩天到六七天,被烏鴉和老鷹啄食,被豺狼吞食,被火燒或埋入地下,全部腐爛敗壞,你們覺得如何?如果原本有美貌,它消失後會產生禍患嗎?』
'Furthermore, beings, because of desire, with desire as the cause, and with desire as the root, therefore perform evil deeds with their bodies, perform evil deeds with their speech and minds. Because of these evil deeds of body, speech, and mind, therefore, because of these causes and conditions, their bodies break down, their lives end, and they are bound to fall into evil realms, being born in hell. This is what is called the suffering of the future, because of desire, with desire as the cause, and with desire as the root, this is what is called the affliction of desire.' 'What is the way to escape desire? If one cuts off desire, abandons desire, extinguishes desire, transcends desire, this is the way to escape desire. If there are ascetics or Brahmins who do not truly know the taste of desire, the affliction of desire, and the way to escape desire, they will ultimately not be able to cut off their own desires, let alone cut off the desires of others. If there are ascetics or Brahmins who truly know the taste of desire, the affliction of desire, and the way to escape desire, they can both cut off their own desires and cut off the desires of others.' 'What is the taste of form? If a Kshatriya woman, a Brahmin woman, a householder woman, or a craftswoman is fourteen or fifteen years old, at that time, their beauty is most exquisite. If because of their beauty, with their beauty as the cause, joy and happiness arise, this is the ultimate taste of form, there is nothing beyond this, but the afflictions are many.' 'What is the affliction of form? If one sees their beauty, but later they become extremely old, their hair turns white, their teeth fall out, their backs are hunched, their legs are crooked, they walk with a cane, the days of their prime decline, their lifespan is nearing its end, their bodies tremble, and their faculties decay and mature, what do you think? If there was originally beauty, does its disappearance cause affliction?' They answered, 'Yes.' 'Furthermore, if one sees them sick in bed, or sitting or lying on the ground, with suffering tormenting their bodies, enduring extreme pain, what do you think? If there was originally beauty, does its disappearance cause affliction?' They answered, 'Yes.' 'Furthermore, if one sees them dead, or one or two days to six or seven days later, being pecked by crows and eagles, eaten by jackals and wolves, burned by fire or buried in the ground, completely rotten and decayed, what do you think? If there was originally beauty, does its disappearance cause affliction?'
「複次,若見彼姝息道,骸骨青色爛腐,食半骨璅在地,于汝等意云何?若本有美色,彼滅生患耶?」

「複次,若見彼姝息道,骨節解散,散在諸方,足骨、𨄔骨、髀骨、髖骨、脊骨、肩骨、頸骨、髑髏骨各在異處,于汝等意云何?若本有美色,彼滅生患耶?」
「複次,若見彼姝息道,骨白如螺,青猶鴿色,赤若血涂,腐壞碎末,于汝等意云何?若本有美色,彼滅生患耶?」
「是謂色患。」
「云何色出要?若斷除色,舍離於色,滅色色盡,度色出要,是謂色出要。若有沙門、梵志,色味、色患、色出要不知如真者,彼終不能自斷其色,況復能斷於他色耶?若有沙門、梵志,色味、色患、色出要知如真者,彼既自能除,亦能斷他色。
「云何覺味?比丘者,離欲、離惡不善之法,至得第四禪成就游,彼于爾時不念自害,亦不念害他,若不念害者,是謂覺樂味。所以者何?不念害者,成就是樂,是謂覺味
『再者,如果看到那位美人的氣息通道,骸骨呈現青色腐爛,一半的骨頭散落在地上,你們認為如何?如果她原本有美色,那美色消失後會產生痛苦嗎?』 『再者,如果看到那位美人的氣息通道,皮肉血都已分離,只剩下筋脈相連,你們認為如何?如果她原本有美色,那美色消失後會產生痛苦嗎?』 『再者,如果看到那位美人的氣息通道,骨節解散,散落在各處,腳骨、踝骨、大腿骨、髖骨、脊骨、肩骨、頸骨、頭蓋骨各自在不同的地方,你們認為如何?如果她原本有美色,那美色消失後會產生痛苦嗎?』 『再者,如果看到那位美人的氣息通道,骨頭白如螺殼,青色像鴿子的顏色,紅色像血塗抹,腐爛破碎成末,你們認為如何?如果她原本有美色,那美色消失後會產生痛苦嗎?』 『這就是所謂的色患。』 『如何從色中解脫?如果斷除色,捨棄色,滅盡色,超越色,這就是從色中解脫。如果有沙門、婆羅門,不能如實知曉色的滋味、色的禍患、色的解脫,他們終究不能自己斷除色,更何況能斷除他人的色呢?如果有沙門、婆羅門,如實知曉色的滋味、色的禍患、色的解脫,他們既能自己斷除,也能斷除他人的色。 『什麼是感受的滋味?比丘,遠離慾望、遠離邪惡不善之法,直至成就第四禪,那時他不會想著傷害自己,也不會想著傷害他人,如果不想著傷害,這就是感受的快樂滋味。為什麼呢?不想著傷害,成就的就是快樂,這就是感受的滋味。』
'Furthermore, if you see that beautiful woman's breathing passage, with her bones decayed and blue, half of the bones scattered on the ground, what do you think? If she originally had beauty, does its disappearance cause suffering?' 'Furthermore, if you see that beautiful woman's breathing passage, with the skin, flesh, and blood separated, only the tendons remaining connected, what do you think? If she originally had beauty, does its disappearance cause suffering?' 'Furthermore, if you see that beautiful woman's breathing passage, with the joints scattered, dispersed in various directions, the foot bones, ankle bones, thigh bones, hip bones, spine, shoulder bones, neck bones, and skull each in different places, what do you think? If she originally had beauty, does its disappearance cause suffering?' 'Furthermore, if you see that beautiful woman's breathing passage, with the bones white like shells, blue like the color of a dove, red like smeared blood, decayed and broken into fragments, what do you think? If she originally had beauty, does its disappearance cause suffering?' 'This is what is called the suffering of form.' 'How does one escape from form? If one cuts off form, abandons form, extinguishes form, transcends form, this is escape from form. If there are ascetics or Brahmins who do not truly know the taste of form, the suffering of form, and the escape from form, they will ultimately not be able to cut off their own form, let alone cut off the form of others. If there are ascetics or Brahmins who truly know the taste of form, the suffering of form, and the escape from form, they can both cut off their own form and cut off the form of others.' 'What is the taste of feeling? A monk, having abandoned desire, having abandoned evil and unwholesome states, attains and abides in the fourth jhana. At that time, he does not think of harming himself, nor does he think of harming others. If he does not think of harming, this is the pleasurable taste of feeling. Why is that? Not thinking of harming is the attainment of pleasure; this is the taste of feeling.'
「云何覺患?覺者是無常法、苦法、滅法,是謂覺患。
「云何覺出要?若斷除覺,舍離於覺,滅覺覺盡,度覺出要,是謂覺出要。若有沙門、梵志,覺味、覺患、覺出要不知如真者,彼終不能自斷其覺,況復能斷於他覺耶?若有沙門、梵志,覺味、覺患、覺出要知如真者,彼既自能除,亦能斷他覺。」
苦陰經第三竟(二千一百六十五字)
(一〇〇)中阿含因品苦陰經第四(第二小土城誦)
一時,佛游釋羈瘦,在加維羅衛尼拘類園。
爾時,釋摩訶男中后仿佯往詣佛所,稽首佛足,卻坐一面,白曰:「世尊!我如是知世尊法,令我心中得滅三穢:染心穢、恚心穢、癡心穢。世尊!我如是知此法,然我心中復生染法、恚法、癡法。世尊!我作是念:『我有何法不滅?令我心中復生染法、恚法、癡法耶?』」
世尊告曰:「摩訶男!汝有一法不滅,謂汝住在家,不至信、舍家、無家、學道。摩訶男!若汝滅此一法者,汝必不住在家,必至信、舍家、無家,學道。汝因一法不滅故,住在家,不至信、舍家、無家、學道
『什麼是覺的過患?』覺是無常的法、是苦的法、是滅的法,這就是覺的過患。 『什麼是覺的解脫之道?』如果斷除覺,捨棄覺,滅盡覺,超越覺,這就是覺的解脫之道。如果有沙門、婆羅門,對於覺的滋味、覺的過患、覺的解脫之道不能如實知曉,他們最終不能自己斷除覺,更何況能斷除他人的覺呢?如果有沙門、婆羅門,對於覺的滋味、覺的過患、覺的解脫之道如實知曉,他們既能自己斷除,也能斷除他人的覺。 《苦陰經》第三完(二千一百六十五字) (一〇〇)《中阿含經·因品·苦陰經》第四(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在釋迦族的羈瘦地方,住在迦毗羅衛的尼拘類園。 當時,釋迦族的摩訶男在午後徘徊前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後坐在一旁,說道:『世尊!我如此理解世尊的教法,使我心中能夠滅除三種污穢:貪染的污穢、嗔恚的污穢、愚癡的污穢。世尊!我如此理解此法,然而我心中又生起貪染之法、嗔恚之法、愚癡之法。世尊!我這樣想:『我有什麼法沒有滅除?使我心中又生起貪染之法、嗔恚之法、愚癡之法呢?』 世尊告訴他說:『摩訶男!你有一種法沒有滅除,就是你安住在家,沒有生起信心、捨棄家庭、過著無家生活、修習佛道。摩訶男!如果你滅除這一法,你必定不會安住在家,必定會生起信心、捨棄家庭、過著無家生活、修習佛道。你因為一種法沒有滅除,所以安住在家,沒有生起信心、捨棄家庭、過著無家生活、修習佛道。
'What is the fault of feeling?' Feeling is impermanent, suffering, and subject to cessation. This is the fault of feeling. 'What is the way out of feeling?' If one cuts off feeling, abandons feeling, extinguishes feeling, and transcends feeling, this is the way out of feeling. If there are ascetics or Brahmins who do not truly know the taste of feeling, the fault of feeling, and the way out of feeling, they will ultimately not be able to cut off their own feeling, let alone cut off the feeling of others. If there are ascetics or Brahmins who truly know the taste of feeling, the fault of feeling, and the way out of feeling, they can both cut off their own feeling and cut off the feeling of others. The third discourse of the 'Discourse on the Aggregates of Suffering' is complete (2165 words). (100) The fourth discourse of the 'Discourse on the Aggregates of Suffering' in the 'Cause' section of the 'Middle Length Discourses' (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the land of the Sakyans, at Kapilavatthu in the Banyan Grove. Then, the Sakyan Mahanama, after his midday walk, went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, sat down to one side, and said: 'Venerable Sir, I understand the Dharma of the Venerable One in this way, that it enables me to extinguish three defilements in my mind: the defilement of lust, the defilement of hatred, and the defilement of delusion. Venerable Sir, I understand this Dharma in this way, yet lustful states, hateful states, and deluded states arise again in my mind. Venerable Sir, I think to myself: 「What is it that I have not extinguished? That lustful states, hateful states, and deluded states arise again in my mind?」' The Venerable One said: 'Mahanama, there is one thing that you have not extinguished, namely, that you remain in the household life, not having gone forth in faith from home to homelessness to practice the path. Mahanama, if you were to extinguish this one thing, you would certainly not remain in the household life, but would go forth in faith from home to homelessness to practice the path. Because you have not extinguished this one thing, you remain in the household life, not having gone forth in faith from home to homelessness to practice the path.'
於是,釋摩訶男即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白世尊曰:「唯愿世尊為我說法,令我心凈,除疑得道。」
世尊告曰:「摩訶男!有五欲功德可愛、可念、歡喜、欲相應而使人樂。云何為五?謂眼知色、耳知聲、鼻知香、舌知味、身知觸,由此令王及王眷屬得安樂歡喜。摩訶男!極是欲味無復過是,所患甚多。
「摩訶男!云何欲患?摩訶男!族姓子者,隨其技術,以自存活,或作田業、或行治生、或以學書、或明算術、或知工數、或巧刻印、或作文章、或造手筆、或曉經書、或作勇將、或奉事王。彼寒時則寒,熱時則熱,飢渴、疲勞、蚊虻所蜇,作如是業,求圖錢財。摩訶男!此族姓子如是方便作如是行,作如是求,若不得錢財者,便生憂苦、愁戚、懊惱,心則生癡,作如是說:『唐作唐苦,所求無果。』摩訶男!彼族姓子如是方便作如是行,作如是求,若得錢財者,彼便愛惜守護密藏。所以者何?『我此財物莫令王奪、賊劫、火燒、腐壞、亡失,出財無利,或作諸業,而不成就。』彼作如是守護密藏,若使王奪、賊劫、火燒、腐壞、亡失,彼便生憂苦、愁戚、懊惱,心則生癡,作如是說:『若有長夜所可愛念者,彼則亡失。』摩訶男!如是現法苦陰,因欲緣欲,以欲為本
於是,釋摩訶男立刻從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,雙手合十向佛陀行禮,對世尊說:『我懇請世尊為我講法,使我內心清凈,消除疑惑,證得真理。』 世尊告訴他:『摩訶男,有五種感官慾望帶來的快樂,它們可愛、令人嚮往、使人歡喜,與慾望相應而使人快樂。這五種是什麼呢?就是眼睛看到美好的顏色,耳朵聽到動聽的聲音,鼻子聞到芬芳的氣味,舌頭嚐到美味的食物,身體感受到舒適的觸感。這些使國王和他的眷屬感到安樂和歡喜。摩訶男,這些感官慾望帶來的快樂是極致的,沒有比這更強烈的了,但它們帶來的禍患也很多。』 『摩訶男,什麼是慾望帶來的禍患呢?摩訶男,那些出身良好的人,爲了維持生計,會從事各種各樣的技藝,比如耕田種地,或者做生意,或者學習書寫,或者精通算術,或者懂得工匠的技藝,或者擅長雕刻印章,或者寫作文章,或者從事書法,或者通曉經書,或者成為勇猛的將領,或者侍奉君王。他們在寒冷的時候會感到寒冷,在炎熱的時候會感到炎熱,還會遭受飢餓、口渴、疲勞以及蚊蟲叮咬。他們做這些工作,是爲了追求錢財。摩訶男,這些人通過這樣的方式,做這樣的事情,進行這樣的追求,如果得不到錢財,就會產生憂愁、痛苦、悲傷、懊惱,內心就會變得愚癡,會這樣說:『白白地勞作,白白地受苦,所追求的沒有結果。』摩訶男,這些人通過這樣的方式,做這樣的事情,進行這樣的追求,如果得到了錢財,就會愛惜、守護、秘密地藏起來。為什麼要這樣做呢?因為他們擔心『我的這些財物會被國王奪走,會被盜賊搶劫,會被火燒燬,會腐爛損壞,會丟失,或者拿出去投資卻沒有任何收益,或者做其他事情卻不能成功。』他們這樣守護秘密藏起來的財物,如果被國王奪走,被盜賊搶劫,被火燒燬,腐爛損壞,或者丟失,他們就會產生憂愁、痛苦、悲傷、懊惱,內心就會變得愚癡,會這樣說:『那些我長久以來喜愛和珍視的東西,都失去了。』摩訶男,這就是現世的苦惱,它因慾望而起,以慾望為緣,以慾望為根本。
Then, the Shakyas' Mahanama immediately rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, and with his hands folded in reverence, addressed the World Honored One, saying: 'I beseech the World Honored One to preach the Dharma for me, so that my mind may be purified, my doubts dispelled, and I may attain enlightenment.' The World Honored One told him: 'Mahanama, there are five kinds of sensual pleasures that are lovely, desirable, delightful, and in accordance with desire, causing people to be happy. What are these five? They are the eye's perception of beautiful colors, the ear's perception of pleasant sounds, the nose's perception of fragrant smells, the tongue's perception of delicious tastes, and the body's perception of comfortable sensations. These bring peace and joy to kings and their retinues. Mahanama, these sensual pleasures are the ultimate in taste, there is nothing more intense, but they also bring many troubles.' 'Mahanama, what are the troubles that come from desire? Mahanama, those who come from good families, in order to make a living, engage in various skills, such as farming, or doing business, or learning to write, or mastering arithmetic, or understanding the skills of craftsmen, or being skilled in carving seals, or writing articles, or engaging in calligraphy, or being knowledgeable in scriptures, or becoming brave generals, or serving the king. They feel cold when it is cold, and hot when it is hot, and they suffer from hunger, thirst, fatigue, and mosquito bites. They do these things in order to seek wealth. Mahanama, these people, through such means, doing such things, and pursuing such goals, if they do not obtain wealth, they will experience worry, pain, sorrow, and vexation, and their minds will become foolish, and they will say: 'I have labored in vain, suffered in vain, and what I have sought has come to nothing.' Mahanama, these people, through such means, doing such things, and pursuing such goals, if they obtain wealth, they will cherish, guard, and secretly hide it. Why do they do this? Because they fear that 'my wealth will be taken by the king, robbed by thieves, burned by fire, decayed and damaged, lost, or invested without any return, or that other things will not succeed.' They guard their secretly hidden wealth in this way, and if it is taken by the king, robbed by thieves, burned by fire, decayed and damaged, or lost, they will experience worry, pain, sorrow, and vexation, and their minds will become foolish, and they will say: 'Those things that I have long loved and cherished are now lost.' Mahanama, this is the suffering of the present life, which arises from desire, is conditioned by desire, and has desire as its root.'

『摩訶男!再者,眾生因為慾望,以慾望為緣由,以慾望為根本,所以穿上鎧甲,披上戰袍,拿著長矛弓箭,或者拿著刀盾,進入村莊、城鎮、國家、城市,穿墻挖洞,劫掠財物,阻斷王道,或者到其他巷道,破壞村莊,危害城鎮,滅亡國家,攻破城市。在這些行為中,他們或者被官府抓獲,遭受各種拷打,被砍手、砍腳或者手腳都被砍斷,被割耳朵、割鼻子或者耳鼻都被割掉,或者被一塊塊割肉,拔鬍鬚、拔頭髮或者鬍鬚頭髮都被拔掉,或者被關在籠子里用衣服裹著火燒,或者用沙土覆蓋草纏著火燒,或者被放入鐵驢的腹中,或者被放入鐵豬的口中,或者被放入鐵虎的口中燒,或者被放在銅鍋中,或者被放在鐵鍋中煮,或者被一段段截斷,或者用利叉刺,或者用鐵鉤鉤,或者躺在鐵床上用沸油澆,或者坐在鐵臼中用鐵杵搗,或者被龍蛇咬,或者用鞭子抽打,或者用棍子敲打,或者用棒子打,或者被活生生地穿在高高的標桿上,或者被砍下頭顱。他們在其中,或者死亡,或者恐懼,遭受極大的痛苦。摩訶男!這就是所謂的現世苦陰,因為慾望,以慾望為緣由,以慾望為根本。 『摩訶男!再者,眾生因為慾望,以慾望為緣由,以慾望為根本,所以做出身體的惡行,做出口和意念的惡行,他們在後來生病臥床,或者坐著、躺在地上,被痛苦折磨身體,遭受極大的痛苦,無法喜愛。如果他們有身體的惡行,口和意念的惡行,那麼他們在臨終時,這些惡行會在他們面前遮蔽,就像太陽快要落山時,被大山崗遮蔽,影子覆蓋大地一樣。這樣,如果他們有身體的惡行,口和意念的惡行,在他們面前遮蔽,他們就會這樣想:『我本來的惡行遮蔽著我,我本來沒有做過善事,做了很多惡事,如果有人作惡兇暴,只為罪惡,不做善事,不行善,無所畏懼,無所依靠,無所歸宿,隨著所生之處,我必定會生在那裡。』因此而產生後悔,後悔的人不能善終,沒有福報而死去。
『Mahānāma! Furthermore, beings, because of desire, conditioned by desire, rooted in desire, put on armor and robes, hold spears, bows, and arrows, or grasp swords and shields, and enter villages, towns, countries, and cities. They break through walls, plunder treasures, block royal roads, or go to other alleys, destroying villages, harming towns, destroying countries, and breaking cities. In these actions, they are either captured by the authorities, subjected to various tortures, having their hands cut off, their feet cut off, or both hands and feet cut off, their ears cut off, their noses cut off, or both ears and noses cut off, or being cut into pieces, having their beards pulled out, their hair pulled out, or both beards and hair pulled out, or being confined in cages and burned with fire wrapped in clothes, or being covered with sand and wrapped in grass and burned, or being placed inside the belly of an iron donkey, or being placed in the mouth of an iron pig, or being placed in the mouth of an iron tiger and burned, or being placed in a copper cauldron, or being boiled in an iron cauldron, or being cut into pieces, or being pierced with sharp forks, or being hooked with iron hooks, or lying on an iron bed and being poured with boiling oil, or sitting in an iron mortar and being pounded with an iron pestle, or being stung by dragons and snakes, or being whipped with whips, or being struck with sticks, or being beaten with clubs, or being impaled alive on high poles, or having their heads cut off. In these situations, they either die or are terrified, suffering extreme pain. Mahānāma! This is what is called the present suffering aggregate, because of desire, conditioned by desire, rooted in desire.』 『Mahānāma! Furthermore, beings, because of desire, conditioned by desire, rooted in desire, engage in evil bodily actions, evil verbal actions, and evil mental actions. Later, they become ill and bedridden, or sit or lie on the ground, with suffering afflicting their bodies, experiencing extreme pain, and being unable to find pleasure. If they have evil bodily actions, evil verbal actions, and evil mental actions, then at the time of their death, these evil actions will obstruct them, just as when the sun is about to set, it is obstructed by a large mountain ridge, and the shadow covers the ground. Thus, if they have evil bodily actions, evil verbal actions, and evil mental actions, obstructing them, they will think: 『My original evil actions are obstructing me. I have not done good deeds, but have done many evil deeds. If there are those who do evil and are violent, only for sin, not doing good, not practicing virtue, without fear, without reliance, without refuge, according to where they are born, I will surely be born there.』 From this arises remorse, and those who are remorseful do not die well, and die without merit.』
。摩訶男!是謂現法苦陰,因欲緣欲,以欲為本。
「摩訶男!複次,眾生因欲緣欲,以欲為本故,行身惡行,行口、意惡行。彼因身、口、意惡行故,因此、緣此,身壞命終,必至惡處,生地獄中。摩訶男!是謂後世苦陰,因欲緣欲,以欲為本。
「摩訶男!是故當知欲一向無樂,無量苦患。多聞聖弟子不見如真者,彼為欲所覆,不得舍樂及無上息。摩訶男!如是彼多聞聖弟子因欲退轉。摩訶男!我知欲無樂,無量苦患。我知如真已,摩訶男!不為欲所覆,亦不為惡所纏,便得舍樂及無上息。摩訶男!是故我不因欲退轉。
「摩訶男!一時,我游王舍城,住鞞哆邏山仙人七葉屋。摩訶男!我于晡時,從宴坐起,往至廣山,則于彼中見眾多尼揵,行不坐行,常立不坐,受極重苦。我往問曰:『諸尼揵!汝等何故行此不坐行,常立不坐,受如是苦?』彼如是說:『瞿曇!我有尊師尼揵,名曰親子,彼則教我,作如是說:「諸尼揵等!汝若宿命有不善業,因此苦行故,必當得盡;若今身妙行護,口、意妙行護,因緣此故,不復作惡不善之業。」』
「摩訶男!我復問曰:『諸尼揵!汝等信尊師無有疑耶?』彼復答我:『如是。瞿曇!我等信尊師無有疑惑
現代漢語譯本:摩訶男!這就是所謂的現世苦陰,它以慾望為因,以慾望為緣,以慾望為根本。 摩訶男!再者,眾生因為慾望,以慾望為緣,以慾望為根本,所以會做出身體的惡行,以及口和意念的惡行。他們因為身、口、意念的惡行,因此,以此為緣,身壞命終后,必定會墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。摩訶男!這就是所謂的來世苦陰,它以慾望為因,以慾望為緣,以慾望為根本。 摩訶男!因此應當知道,慾望完全沒有快樂,只有無量的苦患。沒有如實見到真理的多聞聖弟子,他們被慾望所矇蔽,不能捨棄享樂,也得不到無上的寂靜。摩訶男!像這樣,那些多聞聖弟子因為慾望而退轉。摩訶男!我知道慾望沒有快樂,只有無量的苦患。我如實地知道這些之後,摩訶男!就不會被慾望所矇蔽,也不會被惡所纏縛,便能捨棄享樂,得到無上的寂靜。摩訶男!因此我不會因為慾望而退轉。 摩訶男!曾經有一次,我遊歷王舍城,住在鞞哆邏山仙人七葉屋。摩訶男!我在傍晚時分,從禪定中起身,前往廣山,在那裡我看到許多尼犍,他們行走時不坐下,總是站立不坐,承受著極大的痛苦。我走上前去問他們:『諸位尼犍!你們為什麼要做這種行走不坐,總是站立不坐,承受如此痛苦的行為呢?』他們這樣回答說:『瞿曇!我們有一位尊師尼犍,名叫親子,他教導我們,這樣說:「諸位尼犍!如果你們宿世有不善的業,通過這種苦行,必定能夠消除;如果今生能夠好好守護身、口、意,那麼就不會再造作惡業。」』 摩訶男!我又問他們:『諸位尼犍!你們相信你們的尊師,沒有疑惑嗎?』他們回答我說:『是的,瞿曇!我們相信我們的尊師,沒有疑惑。』
English version: 'Mahānāma, this is called the present suffering aggregate, which has desire as its cause, desire as its condition, and desire as its root.' 'Furthermore, Mahānāma, beings, because of desire, conditioned by desire, and rooted in desire, engage in evil bodily actions, evil verbal actions, and evil mental actions. Because of these evil bodily, verbal, and mental actions, they, due to this cause and condition, upon the breaking up of the body after death, are bound to go to a bad destination, to be born in hell. Mahānāma, this is called the future suffering aggregate, which has desire as its cause, desire as its condition, and desire as its root.' 'Therefore, Mahānāma, it should be known that desire is entirely without pleasure, and has immeasurable suffering and pain. Those learned noble disciples who do not see this as it truly is, are overcome by desire, and cannot abandon pleasure and attain the supreme peace. Mahānāma, in this way, those learned noble disciples regress because of desire. Mahānāma, I know that desire is without pleasure, and has immeasurable suffering and pain. Having known this as it truly is, Mahānāma, I am not overcome by desire, nor am I entangled by evil, and I have attained the abandonment of pleasure and the supreme peace. Therefore, Mahānāma, I do not regress because of desire.' 'Mahānāma, once, I was wandering in Rājagaha, staying at the Seven-Leaf Hut of the Ascetics on Mount Vebhāra. Mahānāma, in the late afternoon, having risen from seclusion, I went to Mount Gijjhakūṭa, and there I saw many Niganthas walking without sitting, always standing and not sitting, enduring extreme suffering. I approached them and asked: 『Friends Niganthas, why do you engage in this practice of walking without sitting, always standing and not sitting, enduring such suffering?』 They replied: 『Gautama, we have a revered teacher, a Nigantha named Saccaka, who teaches us, saying: 「Friends Niganthas, if you have unwholesome karma from past lives, through this practice of austerity, it will surely be exhausted; and if in this life you guard your bodily, verbal, and mental actions well, you will no longer create evil and unwholesome karma.」』 'Mahānāma, I further asked them: 『Friends Niganthas, do you believe in your teacher without any doubt?』 They replied: 『Yes, Gautama, we believe in our teacher without any doubt.』
。』摩訶男!我復問曰:『尼揵!若爾者,汝等尊師尼揵本重作惡不善之業,彼本作尼揵死,今生人間出家作尼揵,行不坐行,常立不坐,受如是苦,如汝等輩及弟子也。』彼復語我曰:『瞿曇!樂不因樂要因苦得,如頻鞞娑羅王樂,沙門瞿曇不如也。』
「我復語曰:『汝等癡狂,所說無義。所以者何?汝等不善,無所曉了,而不知時,謂汝作是說,如頻鞞娑羅王樂,沙門瞿曇不如也。尼揵!汝等本應如是問:誰樂勝?為頻鞞娑羅王?為沙門瞿曇耶?尼揵!若我如是說我樂勝,頻鞞娑羅王不如者。尼揵!汝等可得作是語,如頻鞞娑羅王樂,沙門瞿曇不如也?』彼諸尼揵即如是說:『瞿曇!我等今問沙門瞿曇:誰樂勝?為頻鞞娑羅王?為沙門瞿曇耶?』我復語曰:『尼揵!我今問汝,隨所解答。諸尼揵等,于意云何?頻鞞娑羅王可得如意靜默無言,因是七日七夜得歡喜快樂耶?』尼揵答曰:『不也。瞿曇!』『六五四三二,一日一夜得歡喜快樂耶?』尼揵答曰:『不也。瞿曇!』復問曰:『尼揵!我可得如意靜默無言,因是一日一夜得歡喜快樂耶?』尼揵答曰:『如是。瞿曇!』『二三四五六,七日七夜得歡喜快樂耶?』尼揵答曰:『如是

English version: 『Mahānāma! I further asked: 『Niganthas! If that is so, your revered teacher Nigantha originally committed evil and unwholesome deeds. He originally died as a Nigantha, and now, having been reborn in the human realm, he has become a Nigantha ascetic, practicing not walking while sitting, always standing and not sitting, enduring such hardships, just like you and your disciples.』 They replied to me: 『Gautama! Pleasure is not obtained through pleasure, but through suffering, like the pleasure of King Bimbisāra, which the ascetic Gautama does not match.』 I further said: 『You are foolish and what you say is meaningless. Why? You are not wise, you do not understand, and you do not know the right time, yet you say such things, that the pleasure of King Bimbisāra is not matched by the ascetic Gautama. Niganthas! You should have asked: Whose pleasure is superior? That of King Bimbisāra? Or that of the ascetic Gautama? Niganthas! If I were to say that my pleasure is superior, and that of King Bimbisāra is not, Niganthas! Then you could say that the pleasure of King Bimbisāra is not matched by the ascetic Gautama?』 Those Niganthas then said: 『Gautama! We now ask the ascetic Gautama: Whose pleasure is superior? That of King Bimbisāra? Or that of the ascetic Gautama?』 I further said: 『Niganthas! I now ask you, answer as it is. Niganthas, what do you think? Can King Bimbisāra, by remaining silent and still, obtain joy and happiness for seven days and seven nights?』 The Niganthas replied: 『No, Gautama!』 『For six, five, four, three, two, or one day and one night, can he obtain joy and happiness?』 The Niganthas replied: 『No, Gautama!』 I further asked: 『Niganthas! Can I, by remaining silent and still, obtain joy and happiness for one day and one night?』 The Niganthas replied: 『Yes, Gautama!』 『For two, three, four, five, six, or seven days and seven nights, can I obtain joy and happiness?』 The Niganthas replied: 『Yes, Gautama!』
。瞿曇!』我復問曰:『諸尼揵等!于意云何?誰樂勝?為頻鞞娑羅王?為是我耶?』尼揵答曰:『瞿曇!如我等受解沙門瞿曇所說,瞿曇樂勝,頻鞞娑羅王不如也。』
「摩訶男!因此故知,欲無樂,有無量苦患。若多聞聖弟子不見如真者,彼為欲所覆,惡、不善所纏,不得舍樂及無上息。摩訶男!如是彼多聞聖弟子為欲退轉。摩訶男!我知欲無樂,有無量苦患。我知如真已,不為欲所覆,亦不為惡不善法所纏,便得舍樂及無上息。摩訶男!是故我不為欲退轉。」
佛說如是。釋摩訶男及諸比丘,聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。
苦陰經第四竟(二千二百五十四字)
(一〇一)中阿含因品增上心經第五(第二小土城誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘欲得增上心者,當以數數念於五相。數念五相已,生不善念,即便得滅,惡念滅已,心便常住,在內止息,一意得定。
「云何為五?比丘者,念相善相應,若生不善念者,彼因此相復更念異相善相應,令不生惡不善之念。彼因此相更念異相善相應,已生不善念,即便得滅,惡念滅已,心便常住,在內、止息、一意、得定
『瞿曇!』我再次問道:『各位尼犍子!你們認為如何?誰更快樂?是頻毗娑羅王還是我?』尼犍子回答說:『瞿曇!按照我們理解的沙門瞿曇所說,瞿曇更快樂,頻毗娑羅王不如你。』 『摩訶男!因此可知,慾望沒有快樂,有無量的痛苦和禍患。如果多聞的聖弟子不能如實地看到這一點,他們就會被慾望所矇蔽,被邪惡和不善所纏繞,無法捨棄快樂和達到無上的寂靜。摩訶男!這樣的多聞聖弟子就會因為慾望而退轉。摩訶男!我知道慾望沒有快樂,有無量的痛苦和禍患。我如實地知道這一點后,就不會被慾望所矇蔽,也不會被邪惡和不善法所纏繞,便能捨棄快樂並達到無上的寂靜。摩訶男!因此,我不會因為慾望而退轉。』 佛陀如是說。釋摩訶男和眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《苦陰經》第四完(二千二百五十四字) (一〇一)《中阿含經·因品·增上心經》第五(第二小土城誦) 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘想要獲得增上心,應當常常憶念五種相。常常憶念這五種相后,如果生起不善的念頭,就能立即滅除。惡念滅除后,心就能常住,在內心止息,一心安定。』 『哪五種呢?比丘應當憶念與善相應的相。如果生起不善的念頭,就應當因此相而憶念其他與善相應的相,使不善的念頭不生起。因此相而憶念其他與善相應的相后,已經生起的不善念頭,就能立即滅除。惡念滅除后,心就能常住,在內心止息,一心安定。』
'Gotama!' I asked again: 'Venerable Niganthas, what do you think? Who is happier? King Bimbisara or I?' The Niganthas replied: 'Gotama, according to what we understand of what the ascetic Gotama says, Gotama is happier, King Bimbisara is not as happy as you.' 'Mahānāma, therefore it is known that desires have no pleasure, but have immeasurable suffering and trouble. If a well-learned noble disciple does not see this as it truly is, they will be blinded by desires, entangled by evil and unwholesome things, and unable to abandon pleasure and attain supreme peace. Mahānāma, such a well-learned noble disciple will regress because of desires. Mahānāma, I know that desires have no pleasure, but have immeasurable suffering and trouble. Having truly known this, I am not blinded by desires, nor am I entangled by evil and unwholesome things, and I am able to abandon pleasure and attain supreme peace. Mahānāma, therefore, I do not regress because of desires.' Thus spoke the Buddha. The Sakyan Mahānāma and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The fourth discourse, 'The Discourse on the Aggregates of Suffering,' is concluded (2,254 words). (101) The fifth discourse, 'The Discourse on the Superior Mind,' from the 'Cause' section of the 'Middle Length Discourses' (Second Small City Recitation) Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'Monks, if a monk wishes to attain a superior mind, he should frequently contemplate five aspects. Having frequently contemplated these five aspects, if an unwholesome thought arises, it will be immediately extinguished. When the evil thought is extinguished, the mind will abide, be at rest within, and become one-pointed and concentrated.' 'What are the five? A monk should contemplate aspects that are in accordance with the wholesome. If an unwholesome thought arises, he should, because of this aspect, contemplate another aspect that is in accordance with the wholesome, so that the unwholesome thought does not arise. Because of this aspect, having contemplated another aspect that is in accordance with the wholesome, the unwholesome thought that has already arisen will be immediately extinguished. When the evil thought is extinguished, the mind will abide, be at rest within, and become one-pointed and concentrated.'
。猶木工師、木工弟子,彼持墨繩,用拼于木,則以利斧,斫治令直。如是,比丘!因此相復更念異相善相應,令不生惡不善之念。彼因此相更念異相善相應,已生不善念,即便得滅,惡念滅已,心便常住,在內止息,一意得定。若比丘欲得增上心者,當以數數念此第一相,念此相已,生不善念,即便得滅,惡念滅已,心便常住,在內止息,一意得定。
「複次,比丘!念相善相應,若生不善念者,彼觀此念惡有災患,此念不善,此念是惡,此念智者所惡,此念若滿具者,則不得通、不得覺道、不得涅槃,令生惡不善念故。彼如是觀惡,已生不善念,即便得滅,惡念滅已,心便常住,在內止息,一意得定。猶人年少,端政可愛,沐浴澡洗,著明凈衣,以香涂身,修治鬚髮,極令凈潔,或以死蛇、死狗、死人食半青色,膀脹臭爛,不凈流出,繫著彼頸,彼便惡穢,不喜不樂。如是,比丘!彼觀此念,惡有災患,此念不善,此念是惡,此念智者所惡,此念若滿具者,則不得通、不得覺道、不得涅槃,令生惡不善念故。彼如是觀惡,已生不善念,即便得滅,惡念滅已,心便常住,在內止息,一意得定
現代漢語譯本:就像木匠師傅或木匠學徒,他們拿著墨線,在木頭上彈線,然後用鋒利的斧頭,砍削木頭使之筆直。同樣,比丘!你應當如此,通過一個念頭反覆思量,使其與善法相應,從而不生起邪惡不善的念頭。通過這個念頭反覆思量,使其與善法相應,如果已經生起了不善的念頭,就能立即滅除。不善的念頭滅除后,心就能安住,在內心止息,達到一心專注的禪定。如果比丘想要獲得更高的禪定,應當反覆思量這第一種方法。思量這種方法后,如果生起了不善的念頭,就能立即滅除。不善的念頭滅除后,心就能安住,在內心止息,達到一心專注的禪定。 現代漢語譯本:再者,比丘!思量一個念頭,使其與善法相應,如果生起了不善的念頭,就應當觀察這個念頭的過患,這個念頭是不善的,這個念頭是邪惡的,這個念頭是智者所厭惡的,這個念頭如果充滿內心,就不能通達真理,不能覺悟正道,不能證得涅槃,因為它會使人產生邪惡不善的念頭。像這樣觀察念頭的過患,如果已經生起了不善的念頭,就能立即滅除。不善的念頭滅除后,心就能安住,在內心止息,達到一心專注的禪定。就像一個年輕俊美、惹人喜愛的人,沐浴洗漱,穿上乾淨的衣服,用香塗抹身體,修剪鬚髮,使自己非常潔凈。如果把一條死蛇、死狗或半腐爛的死人,身體腫脹、發出惡臭、流出污穢的屍體,掛在他的脖子上,他就會感到厭惡、不喜悅。同樣,比丘!你應當觀察這個念頭的過患,這個念頭是不善的,這個念頭是邪惡的,這個念頭是智者所厭惡的,這個念頭如果充滿內心,就不能通達真理,不能覺悟正道,不能證得涅槃,因為它會使人產生邪惡不善的念頭。像這樣觀察念頭的過患,如果已經生起了不善的念頭,就能立即滅除。不善的念頭滅除后,心就能安住,在內心止息,達到一心專注的禪定。
English version: Just like a carpenter or a carpenter's apprentice, they hold an ink line, snap it on the wood, and then use a sharp axe to hew the wood straight. Similarly, monks! You should do the same. By repeatedly contemplating a thought, making it correspond with wholesome principles, you will not give rise to evil and unwholesome thoughts. By repeatedly contemplating this thought, making it correspond with wholesome principles, if an unwholesome thought has already arisen, it can be immediately extinguished. Once the unwholesome thought is extinguished, the mind can abide, rest within, and attain one-pointed concentration. If a monk wishes to attain higher concentration, he should repeatedly contemplate this first method. After contemplating this method, if an unwholesome thought arises, it can be immediately extinguished. Once the unwholesome thought is extinguished, the mind can abide, rest within, and attain one-pointed concentration. English version: Furthermore, monks! Contemplate a thought, making it correspond with wholesome principles. If an unwholesome thought arises, you should observe the faults of this thought: this thought is unwholesome, this thought is evil, this thought is despised by the wise, this thought, if it fills the mind, will not lead to understanding, will not lead to enlightenment, will not lead to Nirvana, because it causes evil and unwholesome thoughts to arise. By observing the faults of the thought in this way, if an unwholesome thought has already arisen, it can be immediately extinguished. Once the unwholesome thought is extinguished, the mind can abide, rest within, and attain one-pointed concentration. It is like a young, handsome, and lovable person, who has bathed and washed, put on clean clothes, applied perfume to their body, trimmed their hair and beard, making themselves very clean. If a dead snake, a dead dog, or a half-rotten corpse of a dead person, swollen, stinking, and oozing filth, were hung around their neck, they would feel disgusted and unhappy. Similarly, monks! You should observe the faults of this thought: this thought is unwholesome, this thought is evil, this thought is despised by the wise, this thought, if it fills the mind, will not lead to understanding, will not lead to enlightenment, will not lead to Nirvana, because it causes evil and unwholesome thoughts to arise. By observing the faults of the thought in this way, if an unwholesome thought has already arisen, it can be immediately extinguished. Once the unwholesome thought is extinguished, the mind can abide, rest within, and attain one-pointed concentration.

English version: If a bhikkhu wishes to attain a higher state of mind, he should repeatedly contemplate this second aspect. By contemplating this aspect, any unwholesome thoughts that have arisen will immediately cease. When unwholesome thoughts have ceased, the mind will abide, find rest within, and attain one-pointed concentration. Furthermore, bhikkhus! When the aspect of contemplation is well-aligned with wholesome qualities, if unwholesome thoughts arise, and when contemplating the faults of unwholesome thoughts, unwholesome thoughts arise again, then that bhikkhu should not contemplate this thought, because it will give rise to evil unwholesome thoughts. By not contemplating this thought, any unwholesome thoughts that have arisen will immediately cease. When unwholesome thoughts have ceased, the mind will abide, find rest within, and attain one-pointed concentration. It is like a person with eyes, with colors in the light, but not seeing them; he either closes his eyes or turns away. What do you think? With colors in the light, can that person perceive the colors? They would answer: 'No.' 'Likewise, a bhikkhu should not contemplate this thought, because it will give rise to evil unwholesome thoughts. By not contemplating this thought, any unwholesome thoughts that have arisen will immediately cease. When unwholesome thoughts have ceased, the mind will abide, find rest within, and attain one-pointed concentration. If a bhikkhu wishes to attain a higher state of mind, he should repeatedly contemplate this third aspect. By contemplating this aspect, any unwholesome thoughts that have arisen will immediately cease.

When the aspect of contemplation is well-aligned with wholesome qualities, if unwholesome thoughts arise, and when contemplating the faults of unwholesome thoughts, unwholesome thoughts also arise, and when not contemplating, unwholesome thoughts arise again, then that bhikkhu, for this thought, should gradually reduce the thought through reflection and action, so that it no longer gives rise to evil unwholesome thoughts. For this thought, he should gradually reduce the thought through reflection and action, and any unwholesome thoughts that have arisen will immediately cease. When unwholesome thoughts have ceased, the mind will abide, find rest within, and attain one-pointed concentration. It is like a person walking, advancing quickly, and he thinks: 'Why am I walking so fast? I would rather walk slowly now.' Then he walks slowly. Then he thinks: 'Why am I walking slowly? I would rather stop.' Then he stops.

現代漢語譯本:他又這樣想:『我為什麼要站著?不如坐下吧。』他便坐下。他又這樣想:『我為什麼要坐著?不如躺下吧。』他便躺下。像這樣,這個人逐漸停止了粗重的身體活動。應當知道,比丘也是這樣,他這樣想,應當用思考來逐漸減少念頭,使不產生邪惡不善的念頭。他這樣想,應當用思考來逐漸減少念頭,已經產生的邪惡不善的念頭,便能立即消滅,邪惡的念頭消滅后,心便能常住,在內心止息,一心得到安定。如果比丘想要獲得更高的心境,應當常常思念這第四種方法,思念這種方法,已經產生的邪惡不善的念頭,便能立即消滅,邪惡的念頭消滅后,心便能常住,在內心止息,一心得到安定。 現代漢語譯本:『再者,比丘!當念頭與善法相應時,會產生不善的念頭;當觀察惡的過患時,也會產生不善的念頭;當不思念時,也會產生不善的念頭;當用思考來逐漸減少念頭時,又會產生不善的念頭,』這位比丘應當這樣觀察。比丘,因為這個念頭,產生了不善的念頭,這位比丘便牙齒緊咬,舌頭抵住上顎,用心來調伏心,受持降伏,使不產生邪惡不善的念頭。他用心來調伏心,受持降伏,已經產生的邪惡不善的念頭,便能立即消滅,邪惡的念頭消滅后,心便能常住,在內心止息,一心得到安定。就像兩個力士抓住一個虛弱的人,受持降伏。像這樣,比丘!牙齒緊咬,舌頭抵住上顎,用心來調伏心,受持降伏,使不產生邪惡不善的念頭。他用心來調伏心,受持降伏,已經產生的邪惡不善的念頭,便能立即消滅,邪惡的念頭消滅后,心便能常住,在內心止息,一心得到安定。如果比丘想要獲得更高的心境,應當常常思念這第五種方法,思念這種方法,已經產生的邪惡不善的念頭,便能立即消滅,邪惡的念頭消滅后,心便能常住,在內心止息,一心得到安定。
English version: He then thinks, 『Why am I standing? I should sit down.』 And he sits down. He then thinks, 『Why am I sitting? I should lie down.』 And he lies down. In this way, that person gradually ceases coarse bodily actions. It should be known that a bhikkhu is also like this. He thinks, 『I should gradually reduce thoughts through reflection, so that evil and unwholesome thoughts do not arise.』 He thinks, 『I should gradually reduce thoughts through reflection, and when unwholesome thoughts have arisen, they will immediately cease. When evil thoughts have ceased, the mind will abide, be at rest within, and attain one-pointedness.』 If a bhikkhu wishes to attain a higher state of mind, he should frequently contemplate this fourth method. By contemplating this method, unwholesome thoughts that have arisen will immediately cease. When evil thoughts have ceased, the mind will abide, be at rest within, and attain one-pointedness. English version: 『Furthermore, bhikkhus! When thoughts are well-associated with wholesome things, unwholesome thoughts arise; when contemplating the faults of evil, unwholesome thoughts also arise; when not thinking, unwholesome thoughts also arise; when gradually reducing thoughts through reflection, unwholesome thoughts arise again.』 That bhikkhu should observe in this way. Because of this thought, unwholesome thoughts arise. That bhikkhu should then clench his teeth, press his tongue against the roof of his mouth, and with his mind, subdue his mind, restrain and conquer it, so that evil and unwholesome thoughts do not arise. By subduing his mind with his mind, restraining and conquering it, unwholesome thoughts that have arisen will immediately cease. When evil thoughts have ceased, the mind will abide, be at rest within, and attain one-pointedness. Just as two strong men seize a weak man, restrain and conquer him. In the same way, bhikkhus! Clench your teeth, press your tongue against the roof of your mouth, and with your mind, subdue your mind, restrain and conquer it, so that evil and unwholesome thoughts do not arise. By subduing his mind with his mind, restraining and conquering it, unwholesome thoughts that have arisen will immediately cease. When evil thoughts have ceased, the mind will abide, be at rest within, and attain one-pointedness. If a bhikkhu wishes to attain a higher state of mind, he should frequently contemplate this fifth method. By contemplating this method, unwholesome thoughts that have arisen will immediately cease. When evil thoughts have ceased, the mind will abide, be at rest within, and attain one-pointedness.
「若比丘欲得增上心者,當以數數念此五相。數念五相,已生不善念,即便得滅,惡念滅已,心便常住,在內止息,一意得定。若比丘念相善相應時不生惡念,觀念惡患時亦不生惡念,不念念時亦不生惡念,若以思行漸減念時亦不生惡念,以心修心、受持降伏時亦不生惡念者,便得自在,慾念則念,不念則不念。若比丘慾念則念,不欲念則不念者,是謂比丘隨意諸念,自在諸念跡。」
增上心經第五竟(千四百五十六字)
(一〇二)中阿含因品唸經第六(第二小土城誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我本未覺無上正盡覺時,作如是念:『我寧可別諸唸作二分,慾念、恚念、害唸作一分,無慾念、無恚念、無害念復作一分。』我於後時,便別諸唸作二分,慾念、恚念、害唸作一分,無慾念、無恚念、無害念復作一分。我如是行,在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤。生慾念,我即覺生慾念,自害、害他、二俱害,滅慧、多煩勞、不得涅槃。覺自害、害他、二俱害,滅慧、多煩勞、不得涅槃,便速滅
『如果比丘想要獲得更高的心境,應當經常思念這五種狀態。經常思念這五種狀態,已經產生的邪惡念頭,就會立即消滅;邪惡念頭消滅后,心就常常安住,在內心止息,一心得到禪定。如果比丘在思念狀態與善法相應時,不產生邪惡念頭;在觀察邪惡的禍患時,也不產生邪惡念頭;在不思念時,也不產生邪惡念頭;如果通過思考逐漸減少念頭時,也不產生邪惡念頭;用自己的心來修持自己的心,接受並降伏時,也不產生邪惡念頭,那麼就能夠獲得自在,想要念就念,不想念就不念。如果比丘想要念就念,不想要念就不念,這就是所謂的比丘能夠隨意控制各種念頭,自在地駕馭各種念頭的軌跡。』 《增上心經》第五完(一千四百五十六字) (一〇二)《中阿含經·因品·唸經》第六(第二小土城誦) 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我最初還沒有覺悟無上正等正覺時,曾經這樣想:『我寧可把各種念頭分成兩部分,把慾念、恚念、害唸作為一部分,把無慾念、無恚念、無害唸作為另一部分。』我後來,就把各種念頭分成兩部分,把慾念、恚念、害唸作為一部分,把無慾念、無恚念、無害唸作為另一部分。我這樣修行,在遠離喧囂的地方獨自居住,內心沒有放逸,修行精進。如果產生慾念,我立即覺察到產生了慾念,它會傷害自己、傷害他人、傷害雙方,會滅失智慧、帶來許多煩惱、無法得到涅槃。覺察到它會傷害自己、傷害他人、傷害雙方,會滅失智慧、帶來許多煩惱、無法得到涅槃,就立即消滅它。
'If a bhikkhu wishes to attain a higher state of mind, he should frequently contemplate these five aspects. By frequently contemplating these five aspects, any unwholesome thoughts that have arisen will immediately cease; once unwholesome thoughts have ceased, the mind will remain stable, at rest within, and attain one-pointed concentration. If a bhikkhu, while contemplating a state that is in accordance with wholesome qualities, does not generate unwholesome thoughts; while observing the dangers of unwholesome qualities, does not generate unwholesome thoughts; while not contemplating, does not generate unwholesome thoughts; if, by gradually reducing thoughts through reflection, he does not generate unwholesome thoughts; and if, by cultivating his own mind with his own mind, accepting and subduing it, he does not generate unwholesome thoughts, then he will attain freedom, thinking when he wishes to think, and not thinking when he does not wish to think. If a bhikkhu thinks when he wishes to think, and does not think when he does not wish to think, this is what is called a bhikkhu who has control over all thoughts, and is free to direct the course of all thoughts.' The fifth discourse on the Higher Mind is complete (one thousand four hundred and fifty-six words). (102) The Sixth Discourse on Mindfulness from the 'Causes' Section of the Middle Length Discourses (Second Small Earth City Recitation) Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'When I was not yet awakened to the unsurpassed, perfect enlightenment, I thought thus: 「I should divide my thoughts into two parts, with thoughts of desire, ill-will, and harm as one part, and thoughts of non-desire, non-ill-will, and non-harm as another part.」 Later, I divided my thoughts into two parts, with thoughts of desire, ill-will, and harm as one part, and thoughts of non-desire, non-ill-will, and non-harm as another part. As I practiced in this way, dwelling in seclusion, without negligence, and with diligent effort, if a thought of desire arose, I immediately recognized that a thought of desire had arisen, which would harm myself, harm others, harm both, destroy wisdom, cause much trouble, and prevent the attainment of Nirvana. Recognizing that it would harm myself, harm others, harm both, destroy wisdom, cause much trouble, and prevent the attainment of Nirvana, I immediately eliminated it.'
。復生恚念、害念,我即覺生恚念、害念,自害、害他、二俱害,滅慧、多煩勞、不得涅槃。覺自害、害他、二俱害,滅慧、多煩勞、不得涅槃,便速滅。
「我生慾念,不受、斷、除、吐,生恚念、害念,不受、斷、除、吐。所以者何?我見因此故,必生無量惡不善之法。猶如春后月,以種田故,放牧地,則不廣,牧牛兒放牛野澤,牛入他田,牧牛兒即執杖往遮。所以者何?牧牛兒知因此故,必當有罵、有打、有縛、有過失也。是故牧牛兒執杖往遮。我亦如是,生慾念,不受、斷、除、吐,生恚念、害念,不受、斷、除、吐。所以者何?我見因此故,必生無量惡不善之法。
「比丘者,隨所思、隨所念,心便樂中。若比丘多念慾念者,則舍無慾念,以多念慾念故,心便樂中。若比丘多念恚念、害念者,則舍無恚念、無害念,以多念恚念、害念故,心便樂中。如是,比丘不離慾念,不離恚念,不離害念者,則不能脫生、老、病、死、愁憂、啼哭,亦復不能離一切苦。我如是行,在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤。生無慾念,我即覺生無慾念,不自害、不害他,亦不俱害,修慧、不煩勞而得涅槃。覺不自害、不害他、亦不俱害,修慧、不煩勞而得涅槃,便速修習廣佈
現代漢語譯本:如果生起嗔恨的念頭、傷害的念頭,我立即覺察到生起了嗔恨的念頭、傷害的念頭,這會自我傷害、傷害他人、兩者都傷害,導致智慧泯滅、徒增煩惱、無法達到涅槃。覺察到自我傷害、傷害他人、兩者都傷害,導致智慧泯滅、徒增煩惱、無法達到涅槃,就應該迅速滅除這些念頭。 『我生起慾望的念頭,不接受、斷除、捨棄、吐出;生起嗔恨的念頭、傷害的念頭,不接受、斷除、捨棄、吐出。為什麼呢?因為我看到這些念頭會因此產生無量的不善之法。就像春耕后的月亮,因為要耕種田地,放牧的場地就不寬廣,牧童在野外放牛,牛進入別人的田地,牧童就會拿著棍子去阻攔。為什麼呢?因為牧童知道這樣會因此招致責罵、毆打、捆綁、過失。所以牧童會拿著棍子去阻攔。我也是這樣,生起慾望的念頭,不接受、斷除、捨棄、吐出;生起嗔恨的念頭、傷害的念頭,不接受、斷除、捨棄、吐出。為什麼呢?因為我看到這些念頭會因此產生無量的不善之法。』 『比丘,隨著所思所念,心就樂於其中。如果比丘多念慾望的念頭,就會捨棄無慾望的念頭,因為多念慾望的念頭,心就樂於其中。如果比丘多念嗔恨的念頭、傷害的念頭,就會捨棄無嗔恨的念頭、無傷害的念頭,因為多念嗔恨的念頭、傷害的念頭,心就樂於其中。這樣,比丘如果不離開慾望的念頭,不離開嗔恨的念頭,不離開傷害的念頭,就不能脫離生、老、病、死、憂愁、啼哭,也不能脫離一切痛苦。我這樣修行,在遠離獨處時,心不放逸,精勤修行。生起無慾望的念頭,我立即覺察到生起了無慾望的念頭,這不會自我傷害、不會傷害他人、也不會兩者都傷害,修習智慧、不徒增煩惱而能達到涅槃。覺察到不自我傷害、不傷害他人、也不兩者都傷害,修習智慧、不徒增煩惱而能達到涅槃,就應該迅速修習並廣為傳播。』
English version: If thoughts of anger and harm arise, I immediately recognize that thoughts of anger and harm have arisen. This will harm oneself, harm others, and harm both, leading to the destruction of wisdom, increased troubles, and the inability to attain Nirvana. Recognizing that it harms oneself, harms others, and harms both, leading to the destruction of wisdom, increased troubles, and the inability to attain Nirvana, one should quickly extinguish these thoughts. 'If I generate thoughts of desire, I do not accept, cut off, discard, or expel them; if I generate thoughts of anger and harm, I do not accept, cut off, discard, or expel them. Why? Because I see that these thoughts will inevitably give rise to countless unwholesome states. It is like the moon after spring plowing, because of the need to cultivate the fields, the grazing land is not wide. When a cowherd grazes cattle in the wilderness, and the cattle enter another's field, the cowherd will take a stick to stop them. Why? Because the cowherd knows that this will inevitably lead to scolding, beating, binding, and mistakes. Therefore, the cowherd will take a stick to stop them. I am the same; if I generate thoughts of desire, I do not accept, cut off, discard, or expel them; if I generate thoughts of anger and harm, I do not accept, cut off, discard, or expel them. Why? Because I see that these thoughts will inevitably give rise to countless unwholesome states.' 'Monks, whatever one thinks or contemplates, the mind finds pleasure in it. If a monk frequently thinks of thoughts of desire, he will abandon thoughts without desire, because by frequently thinking of thoughts of desire, the mind finds pleasure in it. If a monk frequently thinks of thoughts of anger and harm, he will abandon thoughts without anger and without harm, because by frequently thinking of thoughts of anger and harm, the mind finds pleasure in it. Thus, if a monk does not depart from thoughts of desire, does not depart from thoughts of anger, and does not depart from thoughts of harm, he cannot escape birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, and weeping, nor can he escape all suffering. I practice in this way, in solitary seclusion, with a mind free from negligence, and with diligent practice. When thoughts without desire arise, I immediately recognize that thoughts without desire have arisen. This will not harm oneself, will not harm others, and will not harm both. By cultivating wisdom, without increasing troubles, one can attain Nirvana. Recognizing that it does not harm oneself, does not harm others, and does not harm both, by cultivating wisdom, without increasing troubles, one can attain Nirvana, one should quickly cultivate and widely propagate it.'

English version: 'When there arises no thought of anger, no thought of harm, I am aware that there arises no thought of anger, no thought of harm. I neither harm myself, nor harm others, nor harm both. By cultivating wisdom, I attain Nirvana without effort. Aware of not harming myself, not harming others, nor harming both, by cultivating wisdom, I attain Nirvana without effort, and then I quickly cultivate and widely spread it.' 'I have thoughts without desire, but many thoughts of reflection. I have thoughts without anger, without harm, and also many thoughts of reflection. I then think: 『With many thoughts of reflection, the body will surely be prone to forgetfulness, which will harm the mind. I would rather govern the mind, constantly abide in inner stillness, and with one-pointed concentration attain samadhi, so that the mind is not harmed.』 Later, I governed the mind, constantly abiding in inner stillness, and with one-pointed concentration attained samadhi, without harming the mind. After thoughts without desire arose, I then had thoughts directed towards the Dharma and the next Dharma. After thoughts without anger and without harm arose, I then had thoughts directed towards the Dharma and the next Dharma. Why is that? I do not see that countless evil and unwholesome dharmas arise from this. Just as after the autumn harvest, when all the grains have been gathered, a cowherd, when letting his cows graze in the fields, thinks: 『My cows are in the herd.』 Why is that? The cowherd does not see that he will be scolded, beaten, or bound, or that there will be any fault. Therefore, he thinks: 『My cows are in the herd.』 It is the same with me. After thoughts without desire arose, I then had thoughts directed towards the Dharma and the next Dharma. After thoughts without anger and without harm arose, I then had thoughts directed towards the Dharma and the next Dharma. Why is that? I do not see that countless evil and unwholesome dharmas arise from this.' 'Monks, whatever is thought and whatever is reflected upon, the mind finds joy in it. If a monk often reflects on thoughts without desire, he will abandon thoughts of desire. Because he often reflects on thoughts without desire, the mind finds joy in it. If a monk often reflects on thoughts without anger and without harm, he will abandon thoughts of anger and harm. Because he often reflects on thoughts without anger and without harm, the mind finds joy in it. When his awareness and reflection have ceased, with inner stillness, one-pointed concentration, without awareness and reflection, joy and happiness arise from samadhi, and he attains and abides in the second jhana.'

「彼如是定心清凈,無穢、無煩,柔軟善住,得不動心,趣向漏盡通智作證,便知此苦如真,知此苦習、知此苦滅、知此苦滅道如真;亦知此漏如真,知此漏習、知此漏滅、知此漏滅道如真。彼如是知,如是見已,則欲漏心解脫,有漏、無明漏心解脫,解脫已便知解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。此比丘離慾念、離恚念、離害念,則得解脫生、老、病、死、愁憂、啼哭,離一切苦。猶如一無事處有大泉水,彼有群鹿游住其中。有一人來,不為彼群鹿求義及饒益、求安隱快樂,塞平正路,開一惡道,作大坑塹,使人守視。如是群鹿一切死盡。復有一人來,為彼群鹿求義及饒益,求安隱快樂,開平正路,閉塞惡道,卻守視人,如是群鹿普得安濟。
「比丘!當知我說此喻,欲令知義,慧者聞喻,則解其趣。此說有義,大泉水者,謂是五欲愛念歡樂。云何為五?眼知色、耳知聲、鼻知香、舌知味、身知觸,大泉水者,當知是五欲也。大群鹿者,當知是沙門、梵志也
現代漢語譯本:他遠離了喜悅的慾望,捨棄了所有追求,以正念和正智感受身體的快樂,這就是聖人所說的,聖人所捨棄的,念、樂的安住、空,從而成就並進入第三禪。他滅除了快樂和痛苦,喜悅和憂愁也早已滅除,達到不苦不樂、舍、念、清凈的狀態,從而成就並進入第四禪。 他如此使心安定清凈,沒有污穢、沒有煩惱,柔軟而安住,獲得不動的心,趨向于漏盡的智慧和證悟,便如實知曉苦的真相,知曉苦的生起、苦的滅除、以及滅苦之道;也如實知曉煩惱的真相,知曉煩惱的生起、煩惱的滅除、以及滅煩惱之道。他如此知曉,如此看見之後,就從慾望的煩惱中解脫,從存在的煩惱和無明的煩惱中解脫,解脫后便知道自己已經解脫,生死已盡,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,不再受輪迴之苦,如實知曉。這位比丘遠離了慾望的念頭、嗔恨的念頭、傷害的念頭,從而解脫了生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、哭泣,遠離了一切痛苦。就像一個無人的地方有一處大泉水,那裡有一群鹿在那裡生活。有一個人來了,不為這群鹿尋求利益和安樂,反而堵塞了正路,開闢了一條邪路,挖了一個大坑,還派人看守。這樣,這群鹿就全部死光了。又有一個人來了,為這群鹿尋求利益和安樂,開闢了正路,堵塞了邪路,趕走了看守的人,這樣,這群鹿就都得到了安全。 比丘們,你們應當知道我講這個比喻,是爲了讓你們明白其中的道理,有智慧的人聽了這個比喻,就能理解它的含義。這個比喻是有意義的,大泉水指的是五欲的愛念和快樂。什麼是五欲呢?眼睛所見的顏色、耳朵所聽的聲音、鼻子所聞的香氣、舌頭所嘗的味道、身體所感受的觸覺,大泉水指的就是這五欲。大群鹿指的是沙門和婆羅門。
English version: He, having detached from the desire for joy, abandoning all seeking, experiences bodily pleasure with mindfulness and clear comprehension. This is what the noble ones speak of, what the noble ones have abandoned: the dwelling in mindfulness, pleasure, and emptiness, thus achieving and abiding in the third jhana. With the cessation of pleasure and pain, and the prior cessation of joy and sorrow, he attains a state of neither-pain-nor-pleasure, purity of equanimity and mindfulness, thus achieving and abiding in the fourth jhana. Having thus purified his mind, free from defilement and agitation, pliable and well-established, he attains an unshakeable mind, directed towards the knowledge and realization of the destruction of the outflows. He then truly knows suffering, truly knows the arising of suffering, truly knows the cessation of suffering, and truly knows the path leading to the cessation of suffering. He also truly knows the outflows, truly knows the arising of the outflows, truly knows the cessation of the outflows, and truly knows the path leading to the cessation of the outflows. Having thus known and seen, his mind is liberated from the outflow of desire, from the outflow of existence, and from the outflow of ignorance. Upon liberation, he knows that he is liberated, that birth is exhausted, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, and there is no more return to any state of being. This bhikkhu, having abandoned thoughts of desire, thoughts of hatred, and thoughts of harm, is liberated from birth, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, and weeping, and is free from all suffering. It is like a large spring of water in a deserted place, where a herd of deer lives. A person comes, not seeking the benefit and happiness of the deer, but blocking the straight path, opening a wicked path, digging a large pit, and placing guards. Thus, all the deer die. Then another person comes, seeking the benefit and happiness of the deer, opening the straight path, blocking the wicked path, and driving away the guards. Thus, all the deer are safe. Bhikkhus, you should know that I tell this parable to make you understand the meaning. The wise, upon hearing the parable, will understand its significance. This parable has meaning. The large spring of water refers to the love and joy of the five senses. What are the five senses? The colors seen by the eye, the sounds heard by the ear, the smells smelled by the nose, the tastes tasted by the tongue, and the touches felt by the body. The large spring of water refers to these five senses. The large herd of deer refers to the samanas and brahmins.
。有一人來,不為彼求義及饒益、求安隱快樂者,當知是魔波旬也。塞平正路,開一惡道者,是三惡不善念:慾念、恚念、害念也。惡道者,當知是三惡不善念。復更有惡道,謂八邪道,邪見乃至邪定是為八。作大坑塹者,當知是無明也。使人守者,當知是魔波旬眷屬也。復有一人來,為彼求義及饒益、求安隱快樂者,當知是如來、無所著、等正覺也。閉塞惡道,開平正路者,是三善念:無慾念、無恚念、無害念也。道者,當知是三善念。復更有道,謂八正道,正見乃至正定是為八。
「比丘!我為汝等開平正路,閉塞惡道,填平坑塹,除卻守人。如尊師所為弟子起大慈,哀憐念愍傷,求義及饒益,求安隱快樂者,我今已作。汝等亦當復自作,至無事處山林樹下空安靜處,宴坐思惟,勿得放逸,勤加精進,無令後悔。此是我之教敕,是我訓誨。」
佛說如是,彼諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行
現代漢語譯本:如果有人來,不是爲了尋求他人的利益和饒益,也不是爲了尋求安穩快樂,應當知道這是魔波旬。阻塞平坦正路,開闢一條惡道的,是三種惡的不善念頭:慾念、恚念、害念。惡道,應當知道就是這三種惡的不善念頭。還有其他的惡道,就是八邪道,邪見乃至邪定這八種。製造大坑陷的,應當知道是無明。使人守衛的,應當知道是魔波旬的眷屬。如果另有人來,是爲了尋求他人的利益和饒益,爲了尋求安穩快樂,應當知道這是如來、無所著、等正覺。閉塞惡道,開闢平坦正路的,是三種善念:無慾念、無恚念、無害念。道,應當知道就是這三種善念。還有其他的道,就是八正道,正見乃至正定這八種。 『比丘們!我為你們開闢了平坦正路,閉塞了惡道,填平了坑陷,除去了守衛的人。就像尊師為弟子所做的那樣,以大慈悲心,哀憐、念愍、傷痛,尋求利益和饒益,尋求安穩快樂,我現在已經做了。你們也應當自己去做,到無事的地方,山林樹下空曠安靜之處,靜坐思惟,不要放逸,勤加精進,不要留下後悔。這是我的教誨,是我的訓誡。』 佛陀這樣說完,那些比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。
English version: If someone comes, not seeking the benefit and welfare of others, nor seeking peace and happiness, know that this is Mara Papiyas. Blocking the straight and level path, and opening a path of evil, are the three evil unwholesome thoughts: desire, hatred, and harm. The path of evil, know that it is these three evil unwholesome thoughts. There is another path of evil, which is the eightfold wrong path, wrong view to wrong concentration, these are the eight. The one who makes great pits and trenches, know that it is ignorance. The one who makes people guard, know that they are the retinue of Mara Papiyas. If another person comes, seeking the benefit and welfare of others, seeking peace and happiness, know that this is the Tathagata, the unattached, the fully enlightened one. Blocking the path of evil, and opening the straight and level path, are the three wholesome thoughts: non-desire, non-hatred, and non-harm. The path, know that it is these three wholesome thoughts. There is another path, which is the eightfold noble path, right view to right concentration, these are the eight. 'Monks! I have opened the straight and level path for you, blocked the path of evil, filled the pits and trenches, and removed the guards. Just as a respected teacher does for his disciples, with great compassion, pity, and concern, seeking benefit and welfare, seeking peace and happiness, I have now done. You should also do it yourselves, go to a place of solitude, to the foot of a tree in the forest, to a quiet place, sit in meditation, do not be negligent, strive diligently, do not leave any regrets. This is my teaching, this is my instruction.' The Buddha spoke thus, and those monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully followed his teachings.

The sixth section of 'Nian Jing' concludes (1593 characters) The twenty-fifth scroll of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' (7468 characters) 'Taisho Tripitaka' Volume 01 No. 0026 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' The twenty-sixth scroll of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra' Translated by the Tripitaka master Gautama Sanghadeva of Kipin during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (103) The seventh 'Lion's Roar Sutra' of the 'Hetu' section (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'Here there is the first Shramana, the second, third, and fourth Shramana. Besides these, there are no other Shramanas or Brahmins. All other heterodox paths are devoid of Shramanas and Brahmins. You should, in the midst of the assembly, make such a correct lion's roar. Monks! Perhaps those of other schools will come and ask you: 'Venerable ones! What practice do you have, what power do you have, what wisdom do you have, that you say: "Here there is the first Shramana, the second, third, and fourth Shramana. Besides these, there are no other Shramanas or Brahmins. All other heterodox paths are devoid of Shramanas and Brahmins. You should, in the midst of the assembly, make such a correct lion's roar."' 'Monks! You should answer those of other schools thus: 'Venerable ones! Our World Honored One has knowledge and vision. The Tathagata, the Unattached One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, has spoken of four dharmas. Because of these four dharmas, we say: "Here there is the first Shramana, the second, third, and fourth Shramana. Besides these, there are no other Shramanas or Brahmins. All other heterodox paths are devoid of Shramanas and Brahmins. We should, in the midst of the assembly, make such a correct lion's roar." What are the four? Venerable ones! We believe in the Venerable Teacher, believe in the Dharma, believe in the complete virtue of precepts, love and respect our fellow practitioners, and respectfully serve them.'

We love and respect our fellow practitioners, reverently serving, considering our fellow practitioners, both ordained and lay, to be the true fellow practitioners. Venerable ones! What is the superiority, what is the meaning, what is the difference between the teachings of the ascetic Gotama and our teachings?」 Monks! You should ask other schools thus: 「Venerable ones! Is the ultimate one or many?」 Monks! If other schools answer thus: 「Venerable ones! There is only one ultimate, not many ultimates.」 Monks! You should then ask other schools: 「Venerable ones!

If they rely on the view of existence, they become attached to the view of existence, rely on the view of existence, abide in the view of existence, and hate and contend with the view of non-existence. If they rely on the view of non-existence, they become attached to the view of non-existence, rely on the view of non-existence, abide in the view of non-existence, and hate and contend with the view of existence.

'If there are some ascetics or Brahmins who do not know the cause, do not know the arising, do not know the cessation, do not know the ending, do not know the taste, do not know the danger, do not know the true escape, they will have desire, have hatred, have delusion, have attachment, have feeling, have no wisdom, cannot be said to have wisdom, have aversion, have conflict.

'Or there are some ascetics or Brahmins who advocate the cessation of feeling, but do not advocate the cessation of all feeling. They advocate the cessation of the feeling of desire, but do not advocate the cessation of the feeling of precepts, the feeling of views, and the feeling of self. Why is that? Because these ascetics or Brahmins do not know these three truths. Therefore, although they advocate the cessation of feeling, they do not advocate the cessation of all feeling. There are also some ascetics or Brahmins who advocate the cessation of feeling, but do not advocate the cessation of all feeling. They advocate the cessation of the feeling of desire and the feeling of precepts, but do not advocate the cessation of the feeling of views and the feeling of self. Why is that? Because these ascetics or Brahmins do not know two truths, so although they advocate the cessation of feeling, they do not advocate the cessation of all feeling. There are also some ascetics or Brahmins who advocate the cessation of feeling, but do not advocate the cessation of all feeling. They advocate the cessation of the feeling of desire, the feeling of precepts, and the feeling of views, but do not advocate the cessation of the feeling of self. Why is that? Because these ascetics or Brahmins do not know one truth, so although they advocate the cessation of feeling, they do not advocate the cessation of all feeling.'
。如是法、律,若信尊師者,彼非正、非第一,若信法者,亦非正、非第一,若具足戒德者,亦非正、非第一,若愛敬同道、恭恪奉事者,亦非正、非第一。
「『若有如來出世,無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐,彼施設斷受,于現法中施設斷一切受,施設斷欲受、戒受、見受、我受。此四受何因、何習,從何而生,以何為本?此四受因無明,習無明,從無明生,以無明為本。若有比丘無明已盡,明已生者,彼便從是不復更受欲受、戒受、見受、我受,彼不受已,則不恐怖,不恐怖已,便斷因緣,必般涅槃,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。如是正法、律,若信尊師者,是正、是第一,若信法者,是正、是第一,若戒德具足者,是正、是第一,若愛敬同道、恭恪奉事者,是正、是第一。』
「諸賢!我等有是行,有是力,有是智,因此故令我等作如是說,此有第一沙門,第二、第三、第四沙門,此外更無沙門、梵志,異道一切空無沙門、梵志。以是故,我等隨在眾中,作如是正師子吼。」
現代漢語譯本:如果(有人說)是依據法和律,如果信奉導師的人,他們不是正確的,也不是第一的;如果信奉法的人,他們也不是正確的,也不是第一的;如果具備戒行和德行的人,他們也不是正確的,也不是第一的;如果愛戴尊敬同道、恭敬奉事的人,他們也不是正確的,也不是第一的。 『如果有如來出世,是無所執著、等正覺、明行圓滿、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號為佛、世尊,他教導斷除感受,在現世中教導斷除一切感受,教導斷除欲受、戒受、見受、我受。這四種感受的起因是什麼?它們的習性是什麼?它們從哪裡產生?它們以什麼為根本?這四種感受的起因是無明,習性是無明,從無明產生,以無明為根本。如果有一位比丘無明已經斷盡,光明已經生起,那麼他從此不再感受欲受、戒受、見受、我受。他不再感受這些,就不會恐懼,沒有恐懼,就斷絕了因緣,必定進入涅槃,生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的事情已經完成,不再受後有,如實地知道真理。像這樣的正法和律,如果信奉導師的人,才是正確的,才是第一的;如果信奉法的人,才是正確的,才是第一的;如果戒行和德行都具備的人,才是正確的,才是第一的;如果愛戴尊敬同道、恭敬奉事的人,才是正確的,才是第一的。』 『諸位賢者!我們有這樣的修行,有這樣的力量,有這樣的智慧,因此我們才這樣說,這裡有第一沙門,第二、第三、第四沙門,除此之外再沒有其他的沙門和婆羅門,其他外道都是空無沙門和婆羅門。因此,我們無論在什麼場合,都發出這樣的正師子吼。』
English version: 'If it is according to the Dharma and the Vinaya, those who believe in the teacher are not right, nor are they the first; those who believe in the Dharma are not right, nor are they the first; those who are complete in precepts and virtue are not right, nor are they the first; those who love and respect their fellow practitioners and serve them respectfully are not right, nor are they the first.' 'If a Tathagata appears in the world, an Arhat, a Fully Enlightened One, perfect in knowledge and conduct, a Sugata, a knower of the world, an unsurpassed trainer of those who can be trained, a teacher of gods and humans, known as the Buddha, the Blessed One, he teaches the cessation of feeling, in this very life he teaches the cessation of all feeling, he teaches the cessation of sensual feeling, feeling associated with precepts, feeling associated with views, and feeling associated with self. What is the cause of these four feelings? What is their origin? From where do they arise? What is their basis? The cause of these four feelings is ignorance, their origin is ignorance, they arise from ignorance, and their basis is ignorance. If a bhikkhu has eradicated ignorance and arisen in wisdom, then he no longer experiences sensual feeling, feeling associated with precepts, feeling associated with views, or feeling associated with self. Having no more feeling, he is not afraid, and having no fear, he has cut off the causes, and will surely attain Nirvana, birth is ended, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done has been done, there is no more future existence, he knows the truth. Such is the true Dharma and Vinaya, if those who believe in the teacher are right and are the first; if those who believe in the Dharma are right and are the first; if those who are complete in precepts and virtue are right and are the first; if those who love and respect their fellow practitioners and serve them respectfully are right and are the first.' 'Friends! We have this practice, this power, and this wisdom, and therefore we say that there is the first samana, the second, third, and fourth samana, and beyond that there are no other samanas or brahmins, and all other paths are empty of samanas and brahmins. Therefore, wherever we are in the assembly, we make this true lion's roar.'
師子吼經第七竟(一千六百九十字)
(一〇四)中阿含因品優曇婆邏經第八(第二小土城誦)
一時,佛游王舍城,在竹林伽蘭哆園。
爾時,有一居士名曰實意,彼于平旦從王舍城出,欲往詣佛供養禮事。於是,實意居士作如是念:「且置詣佛,世尊或能宴坐及諸尊比丘,我寧可往優曇婆邏林詣異學園。」於是,實意居士即往優曇婆邏林詣異學園。
彼時,優曇婆邏林異學園中,有一異學名曰無恚,在彼中尊為異學師,眾人所敬,多所降伏,為五百異學之所推宗,在眾調亂,音聲高大,說種種鳥論、語論、王論、賊論、斗諍論、飲食論、衣被論、婦女論、童女論、淫女論、世俗論、非道論、海論、國論,如是比說種種鳥論,皆集在彼坐。於是,異學無恚遙見實意居士來,即敕己眾,皆令嘿然:「諸賢!汝等莫語嘿然,樂嘿然,各自斂攝。所以者何?實意居士來,是沙門瞿曇弟子。若有沙門瞿曇弟子名德高遠,所可宗重,在家住止,居王舍城者,彼為第一,彼不語,樂嘿然,自收斂。若彼知此眾嘿然住者,彼或能來。」於是,異學無恚令眾嘿然,自亦嘿然
《師子吼經》第七完(一千六百九十字) (一〇四)《中阿含經·因品·優曇婆邏經》第八(第二小土城誦) 當時,有一位名叫實意的居士,他在清晨從王舍城出來,想要去拜見佛陀,供養禮敬。於是,實意居士這樣想:『先不去見佛陀,世尊或許正在禪坐,或者其他尊者比丘也在禪坐,我不如先去優曇婆邏林,拜訪其他學派的園林。』於是,實意居士就前往優曇婆邏林,拜訪其他學派的園林。 那時,在優曇婆邏林的其他學派園林中,有一位名叫無恚的異學,他在那裡被尊為異學之師,受到眾人尊敬,降伏了許多人,被五百位異學所推崇。他在眾人中喧鬧,聲音高亢,談論各種鳥類、語言、國王、盜賊、爭鬥、飲食、衣物、婦女、少女、**、世俗、非道、海洋、國家等話題,像這樣談論各種鳥類的話題,都聚集在那裡坐著。這時,異學無恚遠遠看見實意居士走來,就命令自己的部眾都安靜下來:『各位賢者!你們都不要說話,保持安靜,喜歡安靜,各自收斂。這是為什麼呢?因為實意居士來了,他是沙門瞿曇的弟子。如果有沙門瞿曇的弟子,名聲高遠,受到尊敬,在家居住在王舍城,他就是第一。他不說話,喜歡安靜,自我收斂。如果他知道這個團體安靜地坐著,他或許會來。』於是,異學無恚命令眾人安靜,自己也安靜下來。
The seventh chapter of the 'Lion's Roar Sutra' is complete (1690 words). (104) The eighth 'Udumbara Sutra' of the 'Middle Length Discourses', 'Causal Section' (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Rajagriha, residing in the Bamboo Grove, Kalandaka Garden. At that time, there was a householder named Sati, who, in the early morning, left Rajagriha, intending to visit the Buddha to offer worship and respect. Then, the householder Sati thought to himself: 'Instead of going to see the Buddha, the Blessed One might be in meditation, or the venerable monks might be in meditation as well. I might as well go to the Udumbara Grove and visit the gardens of other schools.' So, the householder Sati went to the Udumbara Grove and visited the gardens of other schools. At that time, in the Udumbara Grove, in the gardens of other schools, there was a non-Buddhist named Avihimsa, who was revered there as a teacher of other schools, respected by many, having subdued many, and was revered by five hundred non-Buddhists. He was in the midst of the crowd, noisy, with a loud voice, discussing various topics such as birds, language, kings, thieves, disputes, food, clothing, women, girls, **, worldly matters, non-path matters, oceans, and countries. Like this, they discussed various bird-related topics, all gathered there sitting. Then, the non-Buddhist Avihimsa, seeing the householder Sati coming from afar, immediately ordered his followers to be silent: 'Good sirs! You should all be silent, enjoy silence, and restrain yourselves. Why is that? Because the householder Sati is coming, he is a disciple of the ascetic Gautama. If there is a disciple of the ascetic Gautama, who is of high reputation, respected, living as a householder in Rajagriha, he is the foremost. He does not speak, enjoys silence, and is self-restrained. If he knows that this group is sitting in silence, he might come.' Then, the non-Buddhist Avihimsa ordered the crowd to be silent, and he himself also became silent.
於是,實意居士往詣異學無恚所,共相問訊,卻坐一面,實意居士語曰:「無恚!我佛世尊若在無事處山林樹下,或住高巖,寂無音聲,遠離,無惡,無有人民,隨順宴坐。是佛世尊如斯之比,在無事處山林樹下,或住高巖,寂無音聲,遠離,無惡,無有人民,隨順宴坐。彼在遠離處常樂宴坐,安隱快樂,彼佛世尊初不一日一夜共聚集會,如汝今日及眷屬也。」
於是,異學無恚語曰:「居士!止!止!汝何由得知,沙門瞿曇空慧解脫?此不足說,或相應或不相應,或順或不順,彼沙門瞿曇行邊至邊,樂邊至邊,住邊至邊。猶如瞎牛在邊地食,行邊至邊,樂邊至邊,住邊至邊,彼沙門瞿曇亦復如是。居士!若彼沙門瞿曇來此眾者,我以一論滅彼,如弄空瓶,亦當為彼說瞎牛喻。」
於是,異學無恚告己眾曰:「諸賢!沙門瞿曇儻至此眾,若必來者,汝等莫敬,從坐而起,叉手向彼,莫請令坐,豫留一座,彼到此已,作如是語:『瞿曇!有座,欲坐隨意。』」
爾時,世尊在於宴坐,以凈天耳出過於人,聞實意居士與異學無恚共論如是,則于晡時從宴坐起,往詣優曇婆邏林異學園中。異學無恚遙見世尊來,即從坐起偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,贊曰:「善來,沙門瞿曇!久不來此,愿坐此座
於是,實意居士前往異學無恚的住所,互相問候之後,各自坐在一旁。實意居士說道:『無恚!我的佛陀世尊如果身處寧靜的山林樹下,或者住在高聳的巖石上,那裡寂靜無聲,遠離喧囂,沒有邪惡,也沒有人群,他會順應自然地靜坐。我的佛陀世尊就是這樣,在寧靜的山林樹下,或者住在高聳的巖石上,那裡寂靜無聲,遠離喧囂,沒有邪惡,也沒有人群,他會順應自然地靜坐。他在遠離塵囂的地方總是喜歡靜坐,安穩快樂,我的佛陀世尊從來不會像你今天這樣,和你的眷屬們聚在一起,哪怕是一天一夜。』 於是,異學無恚說道:『居士!住口!住口!你憑什麼知道沙門瞿曇擁有空慧解脫?這不值得一提,無論是否相應,無論是否順應,那個沙門瞿曇的行為都是從一個極端走向另一個極端,從享樂走向另一個極端,從安住走向另一個極端。就像瞎牛在邊地吃草一樣,從一個邊走到另一個邊,從享樂走到另一個邊,從安住走到另一個邊,那個沙門瞿曇也是如此。居士!如果那個沙門瞿曇來到這裡,我可以用一個論點就駁倒他,就像玩弄空瓶一樣,我還要用瞎牛的比喻來嘲諷他。』 於是,異學無恚告訴他的追隨者們說:『各位!如果沙門瞿曇來到這裡,如果他一定會來,你們不要尊敬他,不要從座位上站起來,不要向他合掌,不要請他坐下,預留一個座位,等他到了這裡,就對他說:『瞿曇!有座位,想坐就隨便坐吧。』 當時,世尊正在靜坐,他用清凈的天耳,聽到了實意居士和異學無恚的談話,於是,在傍晚時分,他從靜坐中起身,前往優曇婆邏林的異學園中。異學無恚遠遠地看見世尊來了,立刻從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,向佛合掌,讚歎道:『善來,沙門瞿曇!你很久沒來了,請坐這裡。』
Then, the householder Sati went to the place of the non-Buddhist ascetic, Avihimsaka, and after exchanging greetings, they sat down to one side. Sati said, 'Avihimsaka! My Buddha, the Blessed One, if he is in a secluded place, in the forest under a tree, or dwelling on a high rock, where there is no sound, far away, without evil, without people, he sits in accordance with tranquility. My Buddha, the Blessed One, is like this, in a secluded place, in the forest under a tree, or dwelling on a high rock, where there is no sound, far away, without evil, without people, he sits in accordance with tranquility. He always enjoys sitting in seclusion, peaceful and happy. My Buddha, the Blessed One, never gathers together like you and your retinue do today, not even for a single day or night.' Then, the non-Buddhist ascetic, Avihimsaka, said, 'Householder! Stop! Stop! How do you know that the ascetic Gotama has empty wisdom and liberation? This is not worth mentioning, whether it is appropriate or not, whether it is in accordance or not. That ascetic Gotama's actions go from one extreme to another, from pleasure to another extreme, from dwelling to another extreme. Just like a blind ox eating grass on the edge of the field, going from one edge to another, from pleasure to another edge, from dwelling to another edge, that ascetic Gotama is also like that. Householder! If that ascetic Gotama comes to this assembly, I will refute him with one argument, like playing with an empty bottle, and I will also use the parable of the blind ox to mock him.' Then, the non-Buddhist ascetic, Avihimsaka, told his followers, 'Gentlemen! If the ascetic Gotama comes to this assembly, if he is sure to come, you must not respect him, do not rise from your seats, do not fold your hands towards him, do not invite him to sit down, reserve a seat, and when he arrives, say to him: 'Gotama! There is a seat, sit wherever you like.' At that time, the Blessed One was in meditation, and with his pure heavenly ear, which surpasses that of humans, he heard the conversation between the householder Sati and the non-Buddhist ascetic, Avihimsaka. Then, in the evening, he arose from meditation and went to the non-Buddhist garden in the Udumbara forest. The non-Buddhist ascetic, Avihimsaka, saw the Blessed One coming from afar, and immediately rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, folded his hands towards the Buddha, and praised him, saying, 'Welcome, ascetic Gotama! You have not come here for a long time, please sit here.'
彼時,世尊作如是念:「此愚癡人,自違其要。」世尊知已,即坐其床,異學無恚便與世尊共相問訊,卻坐一面。世尊問曰:「無恚!向與實意居士共論何事?以何等故集在此坐?」
異學無恚答曰:「瞿曇!我等作是念:『沙門瞿曇有何等法,謂教訓弟子?弟子受教訓已,令得安隱,盡其形壽,凈修梵行,及為他說。』瞿曇!向與實意居士共論如是,以是之故,集在此坐。」
實意居士聞彼語已,便作是念:「此異學無恚異哉妄語。所以者何?在佛面前欺誑世尊。」
世尊知已,語曰:「無恚!我法甚深!甚奇!甚特!難覺難知,難見難得,謂我教訓弟子。弟子受教訓已,盡其形壽,凈修梵行,亦為他說。無恚!若汝師宗所可不了憎惡行者,汝以問我,我必能答,令可汝意。」
於是,調亂異學眾等同音共唱,高大聲曰:「沙門瞿曇甚奇!甚特!有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神。所以者何?乃能自捨己宗,而以他宗隨人所問。」於是異學無恚自敕己眾,令嘿然已,問曰:「瞿曇!不了可憎行
那時,世尊心中這樣想:『這個愚癡的人,自己違背了要點。』世尊知道后,就坐在他的床上。異學無恚沒有生氣,便與世尊互相問候,然後坐在一旁。世尊問道:『無恚!剛才你和實意居士討論什麼事情?因為什麼原因聚集在這裡?』 異學無恚回答說:『瞿曇!我們這樣想:『沙門瞿曇有什麼樣的教法,用來教導弟子?弟子接受教導后,能夠得到安穩,終其一生,清凈地修行梵行,並且為他人宣說。』瞿曇!剛才我和實意居士討論的就是這些,因此聚集在這裡。』 實意居士聽到他的話后,心中想:『這個異學無恚真是奇怪,竟然說謊。為什麼呢?在佛陀面前欺騙世尊。』 世尊知道后,說道:『無恚!我的教法非常深奧!非常奇特!非常殊勝!難以覺察,難以理解,難以見到,難以獲得,就是我教導弟子。弟子接受教導后,終其一生,清凈地修行梵行,也為他人宣說。無恚!如果你的師門宗派所不能理解、憎惡的行為,你可以問我,我一定能夠回答,讓你滿意。』 於是,調亂異學的眾人一起大聲喊道:『沙門瞿曇真是奇特!真是殊勝!有大如意足,有大威德,有大福佑,有大威神。為什麼呢?竟然能夠捨棄自己的宗派,而用其他宗派來回答別人的問題。』於是異學無恚自己命令眾人安靜下來,然後問道:『瞿曇!不能理解、令人憎惡的行為』
At that time, the World-Honored One thought to himself: 『This foolish person is going against the essential point.』 Knowing this, the World-Honored One sat on his bed. The heretic Wuwei, without anger, greeted the World-Honored One and sat to one side. The World-Honored One asked: 『Wuwei! What were you discussing with the layperson Shiyi just now? And why have you gathered here?』 The heretic Wuwei replied: 『Gautama! We were thinking: 『What kind of teachings does the Shramana Gautama have to instruct his disciples? After receiving his teachings, the disciples can attain peace, live their entire lives, purely practice the Brahma-faring, and also preach to others.』 Gautama! That is what I was discussing with the layperson Shiyi, and that is why we have gathered here.』 Upon hearing his words, the layperson Shiyi thought: 『This heretic Wuwei is strange, actually lying. Why? He is deceiving the World-Honored One in front of the Buddha.』 Knowing this, the World-Honored One said: 『Wuwei! My teachings are very profound! Very wondrous! Very special! Difficult to perceive, difficult to understand, difficult to see, difficult to attain, which is that I teach my disciples. After receiving my teachings, the disciples live their entire lives, purely practice the Brahma-faring, and also preach to others. Wuwei! If there are practices that your sect cannot understand and detest, you can ask me, and I will surely be able to answer, to your satisfaction.』 Then, the group of heretics who were causing trouble all shouted in unison, loudly: 『The Shramana Gautama is truly wondrous! Truly special! He has great magical powers, great virtue, great blessings, and great divine power. Why? He is able to abandon his own sect and use other sects to answer people』s questions.』 Then the heretic Wuwei ordered his group to be quiet, and then asked: 『Gautama! Practices that are incomprehensible and detestable』
。云何得具足?云何不得具足?」
於是,世尊答曰:「無恚!或有沙門、梵志裸形無衣,或以手為衣,或以葉為衣,或以珠為衣,或不以瓶取水,或不以櫆取水,不食刀杖劫抄之食,不食欺妄食,不自往、不遣信,不求來尊,不善尊,不住尊。若有二人食,不在中食,不懷妊家食,不畜狗家食,設使家有糞蠅飛來而不食,不啖魚,不食肉,不飲酒,不飲惡水,或都無所飲,學無飲行,或啖一口,以一口為足,或二、三、四,乃至七口,以七口為足,或食一得,以一得為足,或二、三、四乃至七得,以七得為足,或日一食,以一食為足,或二、三、四、五、六、七日、半月、一月一食,以一食為足。

『如何才能圓滿?如何不能圓滿?』 於是,世尊回答說:『沒有嗔恚!或者有沙門、婆羅門裸身無衣,或者用手當衣服,或者用樹葉當衣服,或者用珠子當衣服,或者不用瓶子取水,或者不用瓢取水,不吃刀杖搶奪來的食物,不吃欺騙得來的食物,不親自去、不派人去,不求來尊敬,不善待尊敬,不住在尊敬的地方。如果有兩個人吃飯,不在他們中間吃,不在懷孕的婦女家吃,不在養狗的人家吃,即使家裡有糞蠅飛來也不吃,不吃魚,不吃肉,不喝酒,不喝髒水,或者完全不喝,學習不飲的修行,或者吃一口,以一口為滿足,或者兩口、三口、四口,乃至七口,以七口為滿足,或者吃一份,以一份為滿足,或者兩份、三份、四份乃至七份,以七份為滿足,或者一天吃一頓,以一頓為滿足,或者兩天、三天、四天、五天、六天、七天、半個月、一個月吃一頓,以一頓為滿足。 『或者吃蔬菜,或者吃稗子,或者吃糙米,或者吃雜糧,或者吃頭頭邏食物,或者吃粗糙的食物,或者到無事的地方,依靠無事,或者吃根,或者吃果,或者吃自然落下的果實,或者穿連在一起的衣服,或者穿毛衣,或者穿頭舍衣,或者穿毛頭舍衣,或者穿整張皮,或者穿破皮,或者穿破了的整張皮,或者散著頭髮,或者編著頭髮,或者散著又編著頭髮,或者有剃頭髮的,或者有剃鬍須的,或者剃鬍須和頭髮的,或者有拔頭髮的,或者有拔鬍鬚的,或者拔鬍鬚和頭髮的,或者站立不坐,或者修習蹲行,或者睡在刺上,以刺為床,或者睡在果子上,以果子為床,或者有事奉水的,晝夜用手舀水,或者有事奉火的,整夜點燃火,或者事奉日月,尊敬他們的大德,合掌向他們。像這樣,承受無量的痛苦,學習煩熱的修行。』
'How does one attain completeness? How does one not attain completeness?' Then, the World-Honored One replied: 'Without anger! There are some ascetics and Brahmins who are naked and without clothes, or use their hands as clothes, or use leaves as clothes, or use beads as clothes, or do not use a pot to fetch water, or do not use a ladle to fetch water, do not eat food obtained by robbery with swords and staffs, do not eat food obtained by deception, do not go themselves, do not send messengers, do not seek respect that comes, do not treat respect well, do not dwell in a place of respect.

Like this, they endure immeasurable suffering, learning the practice of tormenting heat.'
。無恚!于意云何?不了可憎行如是,為具足?為不具足?」
異學無恚答曰:「瞿曇!如是不了可憎行為具足,非不具足。」
世尊復語曰:「無恚!我為汝說此不了可憎具足行為無量穢所污。」
異學無恚問曰:「瞿曇云何為我說此不了可憎具足行為無量穢所污耶?」

If so, those ascetics and Brahmins frequently entering other people's homes are also like that, this is what is called, do not be angry! Those who practice asceticism have no defilement.

。無恚!若有一清苦行苦行,因此清苦行苦行,無瞋、纏、不語結、慳、嫉、諛諂、欺誑、無慚、無愧者,是謂,無恚!行苦行者無穢。
「複次,無恚!或有一清苦行苦行,因此清苦行苦行,不妄言、兩舌、粗言、綺語,不具惡戒。無恚!若有一清苦行苦行,因此清苦行苦行,不妄言、兩舌、粗言、綺語,不具惡戒者,是謂,無恚!行苦行者無穢。

異學無恚答曰:「如是。瞿曇為我說此不了可憎具足行,不為無量穢所污。」
異學無恚問曰:「瞿曇!此不了可憎行,是得第一、得真實耶?」
世尊答曰:「無恚!此不了可憎行,不得第一、不得真實;然有二種,得皮、得節
現代漢語譯本:『無恚!如果有人進行清苦的修行,因為這種清苦的修行,他沒有嗔恨、纏縛、不語的結、慳吝、嫉妒、諂媚、欺騙、無慚、無愧,這就是所謂的『無恚!』修行清苦行的人沒有污穢。 『再者,無恚!或者有人進行清苦的修行,因為這種清苦的修行,他不妄語、不兩舌、不說粗惡語、不說綺語,不持惡戒。無恚!如果有人進行清苦的修行,因為這種清苦的修行,他不妄語、不兩舌、不說粗惡語、不說綺語,不持惡戒,這就是所謂的『無恚!』修行清苦行的人沒有污穢。 『再者,無恚!或者有人進行清苦的修行,因為這種清苦的修行,他沒有不信、沒有懈怠,有正念正智,沒有惡慧。無恚!如果有人進行清苦的修行,因為這種清苦的修行,他沒有不信、沒有懈怠,有正念正智,沒有惡慧,這就是所謂的『無恚!』修行清苦行的人沒有污穢。無恚!我不是在對你說這種不究竟、令人厭惡、充滿污穢的修行嗎?』 異學無恚回答說:『是的,瞿曇,你說的這種不究竟、令人厭惡、充滿污穢的修行。』 異學無恚問道:『瞿曇!這種不究竟、令人厭惡的修行,是能獲得第一、獲得真實的嗎?』 世尊回答說:『無恚!這種不究竟、令人厭惡的修行,不能獲得第一、不能獲得真實;然而有兩種,能獲得表面的、能獲得區域性的。』

If someone practices pure asceticism, because of this pure asceticism, he has no anger, entanglement, the knot of not speaking, stinginess, jealousy, flattery, deception, shamelessness, or lack of conscience, this is what is called 『no-anger!』 One who practices asceticism has no defilement.』 『Furthermore, no-anger!

Is this incomplete and detestable practice the attainment of the highest, the attainment of truth?』 The World-Honored One replied: 『No-anger! This incomplete and detestable practice does not attain the highest, does not attain truth; however, there are two kinds, one that attains the surface, and one that attains the partial.』
異學無恚復問曰:「瞿曇!云何此不了可憎行得表皮耶?」
世尊答曰:「無恚!此或有一沙門梵志行四行,不殺生、不教殺、不同殺,不偷、不教偷、不同偷,不取他女、不教取他女、不同取他女,不妄言、不教妄言、不同妄言。彼行此四行,樂而不進,心與慈俱,遍滿一方成就游。如是二三四方、四維上下,普週一切,心與慈俱,無結、無怨、無恚、無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。如是悲喜心與舍俱,無結、無怨、無恚、無諍,極廣甚大,無量善修,遍滿一切世間成就游。無恚!于意云何?如是此不了可憎行得表皮耶?」

異學無恚再次問道:『瞿曇!為什麼這種不徹底、令人厭惡的行為會獲得表皮呢?』 世尊回答說:『無恚!這裡或許有沙門或婆羅門修行四種行為:不殺生、不教唆殺生、不同意殺生;不偷盜、不教唆偷盜、不同意偷盜;不侵犯他人婦女、不教唆侵犯他人婦女、不同意侵犯他人婦女;不妄語、不教唆妄語、不同意妄語。他們修行這四種行為,樂於此而不求進步,心中充滿慈愛,遍佈一方,成就遊行。像這樣,二方、三方、四方、四維上下,普遍周遍一切,心中充滿慈愛,沒有束縛、沒有怨恨、沒有憤怒、沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,無量善修,遍佈一切世間,成就遊行。像這樣,悲心、喜心和舍心,沒有束縛、沒有怨恨、沒有憤怒、沒有爭鬥,極其廣大,無量善修,遍佈一切世間,成就遊行。無恚!你認為如何?像這樣不徹底、令人厭惡的行為會獲得表皮嗎?』 無恚回答說:『瞿曇!像這樣不徹底、令人厭惡的行為會獲得表皮。瞿曇!為什麼這種不徹底、令人厭惡的行為會獲得節呢?』 世尊回答說:『無恚!或許有沙門或婆羅門修行四種行為:不殺生、不教唆殺生、不同意殺生;不偷盜、不教唆偷盜、不同意偷盜;不侵犯他人婦女、不教唆侵犯他人婦女、不同意侵犯他人婦女;不妄語、不教唆妄語、不同意妄語。他們修行這四種行為,樂於此而不求進步,他們有行為和相貌,回憶起過去無量次的經歷,或者一生、二生、百生、千生、成劫、敗劫、無量成敗劫』
The heretic Avihimsaka further asked: 'Gautama! How does this incomplete and detestable practice obtain a skin?' The World-Honored One replied: 'Avihimsaka! Here, there might be a Shramana or Brahmin who practices four kinds of conduct: not killing living beings, not instructing others to kill, and not agreeing with killing; not stealing, not instructing others to steal, and not agreeing with stealing; not taking another's woman, not instructing others to take another's woman, and not agreeing with taking another's woman; not lying, not instructing others to lie, and not agreeing with lying. They practice these four kinds of conduct, delighting in them without progressing further, their minds filled with loving-kindness, pervading one direction, accomplishing their practice. Likewise, in two, three, four directions, above and below, universally pervading all, their minds filled with loving-kindness, without fetters, without hatred, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world, accomplishing their practice. Likewise, with compassion, joy, and equanimity, without fetters, without hatred, without anger, without strife, extremely vast, immeasurably well-cultivated, pervading all the world, accomplishing their practice. Avihimsaka! What do you think? Does such an incomplete and detestable practice obtain a skin?' Avihimsaka replied: 'Gautama! Such an incomplete and detestable practice does obtain a skin. Gautama! How does this incomplete and detestable practice obtain a node?' The World-Honored One replied: 'Avihimsaka! There might be a Shramana or Brahmin who practices four kinds of conduct: not killing living beings, not instructing others to kill, and not agreeing with killing; not stealing, not instructing others to steal, and not agreeing with stealing; not taking another's woman, not instructing others to take another's woman, and not agreeing with taking another's woman; not lying, not instructing others to lie, and not agreeing with lying. They practice these four kinds of conduct, delighting in them without progressing further, they have conduct and appearance, recalling their past immeasurable experiences, perhaps one life, two lives, a hundred lives, a thousand lives, a kalpa of formation, a kalpa of destruction, immeasurable kalpas of formation and destruction.'
。彼眾生名某,彼昔更歷,我曾生彼,如是姓、如是字、如是生、如是飲食、如是受苦樂、如是長壽、如是久住、如是壽命訖,此死生彼,彼死生此,我生在此如是姓、如是字、如是生、如是飲食、如是受苦樂、如是長壽、如是久住、如是壽命訖。無恚!于意云何?如是此不了可憎行得節耶?」
無恚答曰:「瞿曇!如是此不了可憎行得節也。瞿曇!云何此不了可憎行得第一、得真實耶?」
世尊答曰:「無恚!或有一沙門梵志行四行,不殺生、不教殺、不同殺,不偷、不教偷、不同偷,不取他女,不教取他女、不同取他女,不妄言、不教妄言、不同妄言。彼行此四行,樂而不進。彼以清凈天眼出過於人,見此眾生死時生時,好色惡色,妙與不妙,往來善處及不善處,隨此眾生之所作業,見其如真。若此眾產生就身惡行,口、意惡行,誹謗聖人,邪見成就邪見業,彼因緣此,身壞命終,必至惡處,生地獄中。若此眾產生就身妙行,口、意妙行,不誹謗聖人,正見成就正見業,彼因緣此,身壞命終,必升善處,乃生天上。無恚!于意云何?如是此不了可憎行得第一、得真實耶?」
無恚答曰:「瞿曇!如是此不了可憎行得第一、得真實也
現代漢語譯本:那些眾生名叫某某,他們過去經歷過什麼,我曾經生在那裡,像這樣姓氏、像這樣名字、像這樣出生、像這樣飲食、像這樣承受苦樂、像這樣長壽、像這樣久住、像這樣壽命終結,此死後生到彼處,彼死後生到此處,我生在這裡,像這樣姓氏、像這樣名字、像這樣出生、像這樣飲食、像這樣承受苦樂、像這樣長壽、像這樣久住、像這樣壽命終結。無恚!你認為如何?像這樣不令人厭惡的行為能算是節制嗎?' 無恚回答說:'瞿曇!像這樣不令人厭惡的行為可以算是節制。瞿曇!那麼,怎樣才能使這種不令人厭惡的行為達到第一、達到真實呢?' 世尊回答說:'無恚!或者有沙門或婆羅門修行四種行為,不殺生、不教唆殺生、不同意殺生,不偷盜、不教唆偷盜、不同意偷盜,不侵犯他人妻女,不教唆侵犯他人妻女、不同意侵犯他人妻女,不妄語、不教唆妄語、不同意妄語。他們修行這四種行為,樂於此而不求進步。他們以清凈的天眼,超越常人,看到這些眾生死時和生時,好色和惡色,美妙和不美妙,往來於善處和不善處,隨著這些眾生所造的業,如實地看到。如果這些眾產生就了身惡行、口惡行、意惡行,誹謗聖人,持有邪見並造作邪見之業,他們因此身壞命終,必定墮入惡道,生於地獄之中。如果這些眾產生就了身妙行、口妙行、意妙行,不誹謗聖人,持有正見並造作正見之業,他們因此身壞命終,必定升入善道,乃至於生於天上。無恚!你認為如何?像這樣不令人厭惡的行為能達到第一、達到真實嗎?' 無恚回答說:'瞿曇!像這樣不令人厭惡的行為能達到第一、達到真實。'
English version: Those beings were named so-and-so, they had such past experiences, I was once born there, with such a surname, such a given name, such a birth, such food, such experiences of suffering and pleasure, such a lifespan, such a duration of stay, such an end of life. After death there, they were born here, and after death here, they were born there. I am born here with such a surname, such a given name, such a birth, such food, such experiences of suffering and pleasure, such a lifespan, such a duration of stay, such an end of life. O Avihimsā, what do you think? Is such a non-repugnant practice considered restraint?' Avihimsā replied, 'O Gautama, such a non-repugnant practice is considered restraint. O Gautama, how does this non-repugnant practice attain the highest, attain the truth?' The Blessed One replied, 'O Avihimsā, there are some ascetics and brahmins who practice four things: they do not kill, do not encourage killing, do not agree with killing; they do not steal, do not encourage stealing, do not agree with stealing; they do not take another's wife, do not encourage taking another's wife, do not agree with taking another's wife; they do not lie, do not encourage lying, do not agree with lying. They practice these four things, delighting in them without progressing further. With their pure divine eye, surpassing that of ordinary people, they see these beings passing away and being born, with good and bad appearances, beautiful and not beautiful, going to good and bad destinations, according to the deeds of these beings, seeing it as it truly is. If these beings have committed evil deeds in body, speech, and mind, slandered the noble ones, held wrong views and committed wrong actions, they, due to this, after the breaking up of the body, will certainly go to a bad destination, being born in hell. If these beings have committed good deeds in body, speech, and mind, not slandered the noble ones, held right views and committed right actions, they, due to this, after the breaking up of the body, will certainly go to a good destination, even being born in heaven. O Avihimsā, what do you think? Does such a non-repugnant practice attain the highest, attain the truth?' Avihimsā replied, 'O Gautama, such a non-repugnant practice attains the highest, attains the truth.'
。瞿曇!云何此不了可憎行作證故,沙門瞿曇弟子依沙門行梵行耶?」
世尊答曰:「無恚!非因此不了可憎行作證故,我弟子依我行梵行也。無恚!更有異,最上、最妙、最勝,為彼證故,我弟子依我行梵行。」
於是,調亂異學眾等發高大聲:「如是,如是,為彼證故,沙門瞿曇弟子依沙門瞿曇行梵行。」
於是,異學無恚自敕己眾,令默然已,白曰:「瞿曇!何者更有異,最上、最妙、最勝,為彼證故,沙門瞿曇弟子依沙門瞿曇行梵行耶?」
於是,世尊答曰:「無恚!若如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐,出於世間,彼舍五蓋心穢慧羸,離欲、離惡不善之法,至得第四禪成就游。彼已如是定心清凈,無穢無煩,柔軟善住,得不動心,趣向漏盡智通作證。彼知此苦如真,知此苦習、知此苦滅、知此苦滅道如真,亦知此漏、知此漏習、知此漏滅、知此漏滅道如真。彼如是知、如是見,欲漏心解脫,有漏、無明漏心解脫,解脫已,便知解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。無恚!是謂更有異,最上、最妙、最勝,為彼證故,我弟子依我行梵行
現代漢語譯本:『瞿曇啊!難道是因為這種不能令人喜愛的行為被證實,沙門瞿曇的弟子才依照沙門的行為修行梵行嗎?』 世尊回答說:『無恚!不是因為這種不能令人喜愛的行為被證實,我的弟子才依照我修行梵行。無恚!還有其他更殊勝、更微妙、更卓越的,爲了那個證悟,我的弟子才依照我修行梵行。』 於是,那些調亂的異學們發出高聲:『是這樣,是這樣,爲了那個證悟,沙門瞿曇的弟子才依照沙門瞿曇修行梵行。』 於是,異學無恚自己告誡他的同伴,讓他們安靜下來,然後說道:『瞿曇啊!還有什麼其他更殊勝、更微妙、更卓越的,爲了那個證悟,沙門瞿曇的弟子才依照沙門瞿曇修行梵行呢?』 於是,世尊回答說:『無恚!如果如來、阿羅漢、正等覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊,出現在世間,他捨棄五蓋,心清凈,智慧增長,遠離慾望、遠離邪惡不善之法,達到併成就第四禪。他如此使心安定清凈,沒有污穢,沒有煩惱,柔軟安住,獲得不動之心,趨向于漏盡智的證悟。他如實知曉此是苦,知曉此是苦的生起,知曉此是苦的滅盡,知曉此是滅苦之道,也如實知曉此是煩惱,知曉此是煩惱的生起,知曉此是煩惱的滅盡,知曉此是滅煩惱之道。他如此知曉、如此看見,欲漏心解脫,有漏、無明漏心解脫,解脫后,便知解脫,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不再受後有,如實知曉。無恚!這就是其他更殊勝、更微妙、更卓越的,爲了那個證悟,我的弟子才依照我修行梵行。』
English version: 'Gotama! Is it because of the verification of this unlikable practice that the disciples of the ascetic Gotama follow the ascetic's practice of the holy life?' The Blessed One replied, 'No, Aggivessana! It is not because of the verification of this unlikable practice that my disciples follow me in the practice of the holy life. Aggivessana! There is something else, the highest, the most subtle, the most excellent, for the sake of which my disciples follow me in the practice of the holy life.' Then those confused and heterodox groups raised a loud cry, 'So it is, so it is, for the sake of that verification that the disciples of the ascetic Gotama follow the ascetic Gotama in the practice of the holy life.' Then the heterodox Aggivessana, having instructed his own group to be silent, said, 'Gotama! What is that other, the highest, the most subtle, the most excellent, for the sake of which the disciples of the ascetic Gotama follow the ascetic Gotama in the practice of the holy life?' Then the Blessed One replied, 'Aggivessana! If a Tathagata, an Arahant, a Fully Enlightened One, perfect in knowledge and conduct, a Sugata, a knower of the world, an unsurpassed trainer of those to be tamed, a teacher of gods and humans, a Buddha, a Blessed One, appears in the world, he abandons the five hindrances, purifies his mind, increases his wisdom, and, having abandoned desire and evil unwholesome states, attains and abides in the fourth jhana. Having thus established his mind in purity, without defilement, without agitation, pliable, well-established, he attains an unshakeable mind, and directs it towards the realization of the knowledge of the destruction of the taints. He knows as it really is, 'This is suffering,' he knows as it really is, 'This is the origin of suffering,' he knows as it really is, 'This is the cessation of suffering,' he knows as it really is, 'This is the path leading to the cessation of suffering,' he also knows as it really is, 'These are the taints,' he knows as it really is, 'This is the origin of the taints,' he knows as it really is, 'This is the cessation of the taints,' he knows as it really is, 'This is the path leading to the cessation of the taints.' Knowing thus, seeing thus, his mind is liberated from the taint of sensual desire, from the taint of existence, and from the taint of ignorance. When liberated, he knows that he is liberated, 'Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being,' he knows as it really is. Aggivessana! This is that other, the highest, the most subtle, the most excellent, for the sake of which my disciples follow me in the practice of the holy life.'
於是,實意居士語曰:「無恚!世尊在此,汝今可以一論滅,如弄空瓶,說如瞎牛在邊地食。」
世尊聞已,語異學無恚曰:「汝實如是說耶?」
異學無恚答曰:「實如是,瞿曇!」
世尊復問曰:「無恚!汝頗曾從長老舊學所聞如是,過去如來、無所著、等正覺,若有無事處山林樹下,或有高巖,寂無音聲,遠離、無惡,無有人民,隨順宴坐。諸佛世尊在無事處山林樹下,或住高巖,寂無音聲,遠離,無惡,無有人民,隨順宴坐。彼在遠離處常樂宴坐,安隱快樂,彼初不一日一夜共聚集會,如汝今日及眷屬耶?」
異學無恚答曰:「瞿曇!我曾從長老舊學所聞如是,過去如來、無所著、等正覺,若有無事處山林樹下,或有高巖,寂無音聲,遠離,無惡,無有人民,隨順宴坐。諸佛世尊在無事處山林樹下,或住高巖,寂無音聲,遠離,無惡,無有人民,隨順宴坐。彼在遠離處常樂宴坐,安隱快樂,初不一日一夜共聚集會,如我今日及眷屬也。」
「無恚!汝不作是念,如彼世尊在無事處山林樹下,或住高巖,寂無音聲,遠離,無惡,無有人民,隨順宴坐
於是,實意居士說道:『不要生氣!世尊在這裡,你現在可以像弄空瓶一樣,用一番辯論來擊敗他,就像瞎牛在邊遠地區吃草一樣。』 世尊聽了這話,問異學無恚說:『你真的這樣說過嗎?』 異學無恚回答說:『確實如此,瞿曇!』 世尊又問:『無恚!你是否曾從年長的舊學那裡聽說過,過去的如來、無所著、等正覺,如果他們在無事處山林樹下,或者在高巖上,寂靜無聲,遠離喧囂,沒有邪惡,沒有人民,順應禪坐。諸佛世尊在無事處山林樹下,或者住在高巖上,寂靜無聲,遠離喧囂,沒有邪惡,沒有人民,順應禪坐。他們在遠離之處常常喜歡禪坐,安穩快樂,他們從來沒有像你今天和你的眷屬一樣,一日一夜聚在一起嗎?』 異學無恚回答說:『瞿曇!我曾從年長的舊學那裡聽說過,過去的如來、無所著、等正覺,如果他們在無事處山林樹下,或者在高巖上,寂靜無聲,遠離喧囂,沒有邪惡,沒有人民,順應禪坐。諸佛世尊在無事處山林樹下,或者住在高巖上,寂靜無聲,遠離喧囂,沒有邪惡,沒有人民,順應禪坐。他們在遠離之處常常喜歡禪坐,安穩快樂,他們從來沒有像我今天和我的眷屬一樣,一日一夜聚在一起。』 『無恚!你難道沒有想過,像那些世尊在無事處山林樹下,或者住在高巖上,寂靜無聲,遠離喧囂,沒有邪惡,沒有人民,順應禪坐』
Then, the householder Sati said: 'Do not be angry! The World-Honored One is here, you can now defeat him with a debate, like playing with an empty bottle, like a blind ox eating in a remote area.' Having heard this, the World-Honored One asked the heretic Avihimsaka: 'Did you really say that?' The heretic Avihimsaka replied: 'Indeed, O Gautama!' The World-Honored One further asked: 'Avihimsaka! Have you ever heard from the elder scholars that the past Tathagatas, the Arhats, the Fully Enlightened Ones, if they were in a secluded place under a forest tree, or on a high cliff, silent and without noise, far from evil, without people, in accordance with meditation. The World-Honored Buddhas were in a secluded place under a forest tree, or lived on a high cliff, silent and without noise, far from evil, without people, in accordance with meditation. They often enjoyed meditation in secluded places, peaceful and happy, they never gathered together for a day and a night like you and your retinue today?' The heretic Avihimsaka replied: 'O Gautama! I have heard from the elder scholars that the past Tathagatas, the Arhats, the Fully Enlightened Ones, if they were in a secluded place under a forest tree, or on a high cliff, silent and without noise, far from evil, without people, in accordance with meditation.

Did you not think that, like those World-Honored Ones in a secluded place under a forest tree, or lived on a high cliff, silent and without noise, far from evil, without people, in accordance with meditation'
。彼在遠離處常樂宴坐,安隱快樂,彼沙門瞿曇學正覺道耶?」
異學無恚答曰:「瞿曇!我若知者,何由當復作如是說,一論便滅,如弄空瓶,說瞎牛在邊地食耶?」
世尊語曰:「無恚!我今有法善善相應,彼彼解脫句能以作證,如來以此自稱無畏。諸比丘我弟子來,無諛諂,不欺誑,質直無虛,我訓隨教已,必得究竟智。無恚!若汝作是念:『沙門瞿曇貪師故說法。』汝莫作是念,以師還汝,我其為汝說法。無恚!若汝作是念:『沙門瞿曇貪弟子故說法。』汝莫作是念,弟子還汝,我其為汝說法。無恚!若汝作是念:『沙門瞿曇貪供養故說法。』汝莫作是念,供養還汝,我其為汝說法。無恚!若汝作是念:『沙門瞿曇貪稱譽故說法。』汝莫作是念,稱譽還汝,我其為汝說法。無恚!若汝作是念:『我若有法善善相應,彼彼解脫句能以作證,彼沙門瞿曇,奪我滅我者。』汝莫作是念,以法還汝,我其為汝說法。」
於是,大眾默然而住。所以者何?彼為魔王所制持故。彼時,世尊告實意居士曰:「汝看此大眾默然而住。所以者何?彼為魔王所制持故。彼令異學眾無有一異學作是念:『我試于沙門瞿曇所修行梵行
現代漢語譯本:『他經常在偏遠的地方獨自靜坐,安穩快樂,那位沙門瞿曇是在修習正覺之道嗎?』 異教學者無怒回答說:『瞿曇!如果我知道的話,又怎麼會再說這樣的話呢,一辯論就失敗了,就像玩弄空瓶子一樣,說瞎牛在邊遠的地方吃草一樣?』 世尊說:『無怒!我現在有法,與善法相應,每一句解脫之語都能作為證明,如來因此自稱無畏。諸位比丘,我的弟子們來這裡,沒有諂媚,不欺騙,正直不虛偽,我教導他們,他們必定能獲得究竟的智慧。無怒!如果你這樣想:『沙門瞿曇因為貪圖老師的身份才說法。』你不要這樣想,把老師的身份還給你,我還是會為你說法。無怒!如果你這樣想:『沙門瞿曇因為貪圖弟子才說法。』你不要這樣想,把弟子還給你,我還是會為你說法。無怒!如果你這樣想:『沙門瞿曇因為貪圖供養才說法。』你不要這樣想,把供養還給你,我還是會為你說法。無怒!如果你這樣想:『沙門瞿曇因為貪圖名譽才說法。』你不要這樣想,把名譽還給你,我還是會為你說法。無怒!如果你這樣想:『如果我有什麼法與善法相應,每一句解脫之語都能作為證明,那位沙門瞿曇,會奪走我,消滅我。』你不要這樣想,把法還給你,我還是會為你說法。』 於是,大眾沉默不語。這是為什麼呢?因為他們被魔王控制住了。那時,世尊告訴實意居士說:『你看看這大眾沉默不語。這是為什麼呢?因為他們被魔王控制住了。魔王讓異教學者們沒有一個異教學者會這樣想:『我試著在沙門瞿曇那裡修行梵行。』
English version: 'He often enjoys solitary meditation in remote places, peaceful and happy. Is that ascetic Gautama practicing the path to enlightenment?' The non-Buddhist ascetic, without anger, replied: 'Gautama! If I knew, how could I say such things? One argument would be defeated, like playing with an empty bottle, like saying a blind cow is grazing in a remote place?' The World-Honored One said: 'Without anger! I now have a Dharma that is well-aligned with goodness, and each phrase of liberation can serve as proof. The Tathagata therefore calls himself fearless. Monks, my disciples come here without flattery, without deception, honest and without falsehood. I instruct them, and they will surely attain ultimate wisdom. Without anger! If you think: 'The ascetic Gautama teaches because he is greedy for the status of a teacher,' do not think that way. Return the status of teacher to you, and I will still teach you the Dharma. Without anger! If you think: 'The ascetic Gautama teaches because he is greedy for disciples,' do not think that way. Return the disciples to you, and I will still teach you the Dharma. Without anger! If you think: 'The ascetic Gautama teaches because he is greedy for offerings,' do not think that way. Return the offerings to you, and I will still teach you the Dharma. Without anger! If you think: 'The ascetic Gautama teaches because he is greedy for fame,' do not think that way. Return the fame to you, and I will still teach you the Dharma. Without anger! If you think: 'If I have any Dharma that is well-aligned with goodness, and each phrase of liberation can serve as proof, that ascetic Gautama will take it from me and destroy me,' do not think that way. Return the Dharma to you, and I will still teach you the Dharma.' Then, the assembly remained silent. Why was this? Because they were controlled by the demon king. At that time, the World-Honored One said to the householder of true intention: 'Look at this assembly, they are silent. Why is this? Because they are controlled by the demon king. The demon king prevents any of the non-Buddhist ascetics from thinking: 'I will try to practice the holy life under the ascetic Gautama.'
世尊知已,為實意居士說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜,無量方便為彼說法,勸發渴仰,成就歡喜已,即從坐起,便接實意居士臂,以神足飛,乘虛而去。
佛說如是。實意居士聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。
優曇婆邏經第八竟(五千八百九十八字)
(一〇五)中阿含因品愿經第九(第二小土城誦)
爾時,有一比丘在遠離獨任,閑居靜處,宴坐思惟,心作是念:「世尊慰勞共我語言,為我說法,得具足戒而不廢禪,成就觀行於空靜處。」於是,比丘作是念已,則于晡時從宴坐起,往詣佛所。
世尊遙見彼比丘來,因彼比丘故,告諸比丘:「汝等當愿世尊慰勞共我語言,為我說法,得具足戒而不廢禪,成就觀行於空靜處。比丘!當愿我有親族,令彼因我身壞命終,必升善處,乃生天上,得具足戒而不廢禪,成就觀行於空靜處。比丘!當愿諸施我衣被、飲食、床榻、湯藥、諸生活具,令彼此施有大功德,有大光明,獲大果報,得具足戒而不廢禪,成就觀行於空靜處
世尊知道后,為實意居士說法,勸導他生起渴望,成就歡喜。用無量方便為他說法,勸導他生起渴望,成就歡喜后,就從座位起身,拉著實意居士的胳膊,用神足飛騰,乘空而去。 佛陀這樣說。實意居士聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 《優曇婆邏經》第八完(五千八百九十八字) (一〇五)《中阿含經·因品·愿經》第九(第二小土城誦) 當時,有一位比丘在遠離喧囂的地方獨自修行,在安靜的地方禪坐思惟,心中這樣想:『如果世尊能慰問我,和我說話,為我說法,使我能具足戒律而不廢棄禪定,在空寂之處成就觀行就好了。』於是,這位比丘這樣想后,就在傍晚時分從禪坐中起身,前往佛陀所在的地方。 世尊遠遠地看見那位比丘走來,就因為那位比丘的緣故,告訴眾比丘:『你們應當希望世尊能慰問你們,和你們說話,為你們說法,使你們能具足戒律而不廢棄禪定,在空寂之處成就觀行。比丘們!應當希望我有親族,讓他們因為我身壞命終,必定升入善處,乃至生到天上,能具足戒律而不廢棄禪定,在空寂之處成就觀行。比丘們!應當希望那些施捨我衣服、飲食、床榻、湯藥、各種生活用品的人,讓他們這些佈施有大功德,有大光明,獲得大果報,能具足戒律而不廢棄禪定,在空寂之處成就觀行。』
The World Honored One, knowing this, spoke Dharma for the householder Real Intent, encouraging him to generate longing and achieve joy. After using countless skillful means to speak Dharma for him, encouraging him to generate longing and achieve joy, he rose from his seat, took the arm of the householder Real Intent, and flew away through the air with his supernatural powers. The Buddha spoke thus. The householder Real Intent, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The end of the eighth chapter of the 'Udumbara Sutra' (5,898 words) (105) The ninth 'Wish Sutra' of the 'Cause Chapter' of the 'Middle Length Discourses' (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At that time, there was a bhikkhu who was practicing alone in a secluded place, dwelling in quietude, sitting in meditation and contemplating, his mind thinking: 'If the World Honored One would comfort me, speak with me, and teach me the Dharma, so that I could fulfill the precepts without abandoning meditation, and achieve insight in a quiet place.' Having thought this, the bhikkhu arose from his meditation in the late afternoon and went to where the Buddha was. The World Honored One saw the bhikkhu coming from afar, and because of that bhikkhu, he said to the bhikkhus: 'You should wish that the World Honored One would comfort you, speak with you, and teach you the Dharma, so that you could fulfill the precepts without abandoning meditation, and achieve insight in a quiet place. Bhikkhus! You should wish that I have relatives, so that because of me, when their bodies break and they die, they will surely ascend to a good place, even to heaven, and be able to fulfill the precepts without abandoning meditation, and achieve insight in a quiet place. Bhikkhus! You should wish that those who give me robes, food, bedding, medicine, and various necessities of life, that their giving may have great merit, great radiance, and great reward, and that they may be able to fulfill the precepts without abandoning meditation, and achieve insight in a quiet place.'
「比丘!當愿我能忍飢渴、寒熱、蚊虻、蠅蚤、風日所逼,惡聲、捶杖亦能忍之,身遇諸疾,極為苦痛,至命欲絕,諸不可樂,皆能堪耐,得具足戒而不廢禪,成就觀行於空靜處。比丘!當愿我堪耐不樂,若生不樂,心終不著,得具足戒而不廢禪,成就觀行於空靜處。比丘!當愿我堪耐恐怖,若生恐怖,心終不著,得具足戒而不廢禪,成就觀行於空靜處。比丘!當愿我若生三惡不善之念,慾念、恚念、害念,為此三惡不善之念,心終不著,得具足戒而不廢禪,成就觀行於空靜處。
「比丘!當愿我離欲、離惡不善之法,至得第四禪成就游,得具足戒而不廢禪,成就觀行於空靜處。比丘!當愿我三結已盡,得須陀洹,不墮惡法,定趣正覺,極受七有,天上人間七往來已,便得苦邊,得具足戒而不廢禪,成就觀行於空靜處。比丘!當愿我三結已盡,淫、怒、癡薄,得一往來天上人間,一往來已,便得苦邊,得具足戒而不廢禪,成就觀行於空靜處。比丘!當愿我五下分結盡,生於彼間,便般涅槃,得不退法,不還此世,得具足戒而不廢禪,成就觀行於空靜處。
「比丘!當愿我息、解脫,離色得無色,如其像定,身作證成就游,以慧而觀斷漏、知漏,得具足戒而不廢禪,成就觀行於空靜處
『比丘們!愿我能忍受飢渴、寒冷、炎熱、蚊蟲、蒼蠅、跳蚤、風吹日曬的侵擾,以及惡語、鞭打,也能忍受身體的各種疾病,即使是極度痛苦,甚至生命垂危,所有不適都能忍耐,從而圓滿戒律而不廢棄禪定,在空寂之處成就觀行。比丘們!愿我能忍受不悅,如果產生不悅,內心終不執著,從而圓滿戒律而不廢棄禪定,在空寂之處成就觀行。比丘們!愿我能忍受恐懼,如果產生恐懼,內心終不執著,從而圓滿戒律而不廢棄禪定,在空寂之處成就觀行。比丘們!愿我如果產生三種惡念,即慾念、嗔念、害念,對於這三種惡念,內心終不執著,從而圓滿戒律而不廢棄禪定,在空寂之處成就觀行。 『比丘們!愿我能遠離慾望、遠離邪惡不善之法,直至成就第四禪,從而圓滿戒律而不廢棄禪定,在空寂之處成就觀行。比丘們!愿我三結已斷盡,證得須陀洹果,不墮惡道,必定趨向正覺,最多經歷七次生死輪迴,在天上人間往返七次後,便能解脫痛苦,從而圓滿戒律而不廢棄禪定,在空寂之處成就觀行。比丘們!愿我三結已斷盡,貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡薄弱,只需一次往返天上人間,便能解脫痛苦,從而圓滿戒律而不廢棄禪定,在空寂之處成就觀行。比丘們!愿我五下分結已斷盡,往生彼處,便入涅槃,獲得不退轉之法,不再返回此世,從而圓滿戒律而不廢棄禪定,在空寂之處成就觀行。 『比丘們!愿我止息、解脫,離開色界而證得無色界,如其所證之禪定,以身作證而成就,以智慧觀察斷除煩惱、了知煩惱,從而圓滿戒律而不廢棄禪定,在空寂之處成就觀行。
'Monks! May I be able to endure hunger, thirst, cold, heat, mosquitoes, flies, fleas, the oppression of wind and sun, harsh words, and beatings. May I also endure all bodily illnesses, even extreme pain, even to the point of death, and all unpleasantness. Thus, may I fulfill the precepts without abandoning meditation, and achieve contemplation in a quiet, empty place. Monks! May I be able to endure displeasure, and if displeasure arises, may my mind not cling to it. Thus, may I fulfill the precepts without abandoning meditation, and achieve contemplation in a quiet, empty place. Monks! May I be able to endure fear, and if fear arises, may my mind not cling to it. Thus, may I fulfill the precepts without abandoning meditation, and achieve contemplation in a quiet, empty place. Monks! May I, if three evil and unwholesome thoughts arise—thoughts of desire, thoughts of anger, thoughts of harm—may my mind not cling to these three evil and unwholesome thoughts. Thus, may I fulfill the precepts without abandoning meditation, and achieve contemplation in a quiet, empty place.' 'Monks! May I be able to abandon desire, abandon evil and unwholesome states, and attain and abide in the fourth jhana. Thus, may I fulfill the precepts without abandoning meditation, and achieve contemplation in a quiet, empty place. Monks! May I, with the three fetters destroyed, become a stream-enterer, not subject to falling into evil states, assured of enlightenment, at most experiencing seven more lives, having transmigrated seven times between the heavens and the human realm, and then attain the end of suffering. Thus, may I fulfill the precepts without abandoning meditation, and achieve contemplation in a quiet, empty place. Monks! May I, with the three fetters destroyed, and with lust, hatred, and delusion weakened, return only once between the heavens and the human realm, and then attain the end of suffering. Thus, may I fulfill the precepts without abandoning meditation, and achieve contemplation in a quiet, empty place. Monks! May I, with the five lower fetters destroyed, be reborn there, and then attain final Nirvana, obtaining the state of non-regression, not returning to this world. Thus, may I fulfill the precepts without abandoning meditation, and achieve contemplation in a quiet, empty place.' 'Monks! May I be able to cease, to be liberated, to leave the realm of form and attain the formless realm, as in the corresponding samadhi, having realized it with my own body, and with wisdom, observe the destruction of the taints, and know the taints. Thus, may I fulfill the precepts without abandoning meditation, and achieve contemplation in a quiet, empty place.'
。比丘!當愿我如意足、天耳智、他心智、宿命智、生死智,諸漏已盡而得無漏,心解脫,慧解脫,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真,得具足戒而不廢禪,成就觀行於空靜處。」
於是,彼比丘聞佛所說,善受善持,即從坐起,稽首佛足,繞三匝而去。彼比丘受佛此教,閑居靜處,宴坐思惟,修行精勤,心無放逸。因閑居靜處,宴坐思惟,修行精勤,心無放逸故,若族姓子所為,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,唯無上梵行訖,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。彼尊者知法已,至得阿羅訶。
愿經第九竟(八百六十五字)
(一〇六)中阿含因品想經第十(第二小土城誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若有沙門、梵志於地有地想,地即是神,地是神所,神是地所,彼計地即是神已,便不知地。如是水、火、風、神、天、生主、梵天、無煩、無熱
現代漢語譯本:比丘們!愿我能成就如意足、天耳智、他心智、宿命智、生死智,諸漏已盡而得無漏,心解脫,慧解脫,在現世中親自證悟,親身實踐併成就,生死已盡,梵行已立,該做的已做完,不再受輪迴,如實知曉真諦,具足戒律而不廢禪定,在空寂之處成就觀行。 於是,那位比丘聽聞佛陀所說,善加領受並牢記在心,隨即從座位起身,向佛陀頂禮,繞佛三圈后離去。那位比丘接受佛陀的教誨后,便獨自在安靜的地方,靜坐思惟,精勤修行,內心沒有懈怠。因為獨自在安靜的地方,靜坐思惟,精勤修行,內心沒有懈怠的緣故,凡是那些爲了追求無上梵行,剃除鬚髮,身披袈裟,以堅定的信念,捨棄家庭,出家修道的人,都能在現世中親自證悟,親身實踐併成就,生死已盡,梵行已立,該做的已做完,不再受輪迴,如實知曉真諦。那位尊者通達佛法后,最終證得阿羅漢果。 佛陀如是說。眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《愿經》第九完(八百六十五字) (一〇六)《中阿含經·因品·想經》第十(第二小土城誦) 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果有沙門、婆羅門認為地有地想,認為地就是神,地是神所擁有的,神是地所擁有的,他們認為地就是神,便不瞭解地。同樣,對於水、火、風、神、天、生主、梵天、無煩、無熱也是如此。』
English version: 'Monks! May I attain the psychic power of the path of accomplishment, the divine ear, the knowledge of others' minds, the knowledge of past lives, the knowledge of the cycle of death and rebirth, the ending of all defilements and the attainment of undefiled liberation, liberation of mind, liberation through wisdom, realizing it for myself in this very life, having personally experienced and attained it, with birth ended, the holy life fulfilled, what needed to be done is done, there is no more rebirth, knowing the truth as it is, being fully endowed with precepts without abandoning meditation, achieving insight in a quiet and secluded place.' Then, that monk, having heard what the Buddha said, received it well and kept it in mind. He rose from his seat, bowed at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him three times, and departed. That monk, having received the Buddha's teaching, dwelt in a secluded and quiet place, sat in meditation, contemplated, practiced diligently, and was without negligence in his mind. Because of dwelling in a secluded and quiet place, sitting in meditation, contemplating, practicing diligently, and being without negligence in his mind, those sons of good families who shaved their hair and beards, donned the robes, with faith, left their homes, went forth from home to homelessness, and practiced the path, for the sake of the unsurpassed holy life, realized it for themselves in this very life, having personally experienced and attained it, with birth ended, the holy life fulfilled, what needed to be done is done, there is no more rebirth, knowing the truth as it is. That venerable one, having understood the Dharma, attained Arhatship. The Ninth Sutra on Wishes is complete (865 words) (106) The Tenth Sutra on Perception from the Middle Length Discourses, Section on Causes (Second Small Earth City Recitation) Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'If there are ascetics or brahmins who perceive earth as earth, and think that earth is a god, that earth belongs to a god, that a god belongs to earth, they think that earth is a god, and thus they do not understand earth. Likewise, with water, fire, wind, gods, devas, the Lord of Creation, Brahma, the Imperturbable, the Unheated.'

現代漢語譯本:'他對於清凈抱有清凈的觀念,認為清凈就是神,清凈是神所擁有的,神是清凈所擁有的。他一旦認為清凈就是神,便不再瞭解清凈,以及無量空處、無量識處、無所有處、非想非非想處、一、異、若干、見、聞、識、知,能夠觀察到心中所想、心中所思。從這個世界到那個世界,從那個世界到這個世界,他對於一切都抱有一切的觀念,認為一切就是神,一切是神所擁有的,神是一切所擁有的。他一旦認為一切就是神,便不再瞭解一切。' '如果有的沙門、婆羅門對於地,知道地,認為地不是神,地不是神所擁有的,神不是地所擁有的。他不認為地就是神,他便了解地。像這樣,對於水、火、風、神、天、生主、梵天、無煩、無熱也是如此。他對於清凈,知道清凈,認為清凈不是神,清凈不是神所擁有的,神不是清凈所擁有的。他不認為清凈就是神,他便了解清凈,以及無量空處、無量識處、無所有處、非想非非想處、一、異、若干、見、聞、識、知,能夠觀察到心中所想、心中所思。從這個世界到那個世界,從那個世界到這個世界,他對於一切,知道一切,認為一切不是神,一切不是神所擁有的,神不是一切所擁有的。他不認為一切就是神,他便了解一切。' '我對於地,知道地,認為地不是神,地不是神所擁有的,神不是地所擁有的。我不認為地就是神,我便了解地。像這樣,對於水、火、風、神、天、生主、梵天、無煩、無熱也是如此。我對於清凈,知道清凈,認為清凈不是神,清凈不是神所擁有的,神不是清凈所擁有的。'

English version: 'Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 『Monks, if one dwells relying on a forest, and I dwell relying on this forest, either right mindfulness arises when it was not present, the mind becomes concentrated when it was not concentrated, if not liberated, one becomes liberated, if the outflows are not exhausted, one exhausts the outflows, if one has not attained the unsurpassed secure Nirvana, one attains Nirvana; the clothing, food, bedding, medicine, and various necessities of life that the practitioners of the path require, all their requests are easily obtained, and not difficult.』'
。彼比丘依此林住,依此林住已,若無正念不得正念,其心不定不得定心,若不解脫不得解脫,諸漏不盡不得漏盡,不得無上安隱涅槃,然不得涅槃;學道者所須衣被、飲食、床榻、湯藥、諸生活具,彼一切求索,易不難得。彼比丘應作是觀:『我出家學道,不為衣被故,不為飲食、床榻、湯藥故,亦不為諸生活具故。然我依此林住,或無正念不得正念,其心不定不得定心,若不解脫不得解脫,諸漏不盡不得漏盡,不得無上安隱涅槃,然不得涅槃;學道者所須衣被、飲食、床榻、湯藥、諸生活具,彼一切求索,易不難得。』彼比丘如是觀已,可舍此林去。

The first Forest Discourse ends (1165 words) (108) The Middle Length Discourses, Forest Section, The Second Forest Discourse (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Savatthi, staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「比丘者,依一林住,我依此林住,或所為出家學道,欲得沙門義,此義於我得,學道者所須衣被、飲食、床榻、湯藥、諸生活具,彼一切求索,易不難得。彼比丘依此林住,依此林住已,所為出家學道,欲得沙門義,此義於我不得,學道者所須衣被、飲食、床榻、湯藥、諸生活具,彼一切求索,易不難得。彼比丘應作是觀:『我出家學道,不為衣被故,不為飲食、床榻、湯藥故,亦不為諸生活具故。然我依此林住,所為出家學道,欲得沙門義,此義於我不得,學道者所須衣被、飲食、床榻、湯藥、諸生活具,彼一切求索,易不難得。』彼比丘如是觀已,可舍此林去。

林經第二竟(八百三十一字)
(一〇九)中阿含林品自觀心經第三(第二小土城誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若有比丘不能善觀於他心者,當自善觀察於己心,應學如是。云何比丘善自觀心?比丘者,若有此觀,必多所饒益:我為得內止,不得最上慧觀法耶?我為得最上慧觀法,不得內止耶?我為不得內止,亦不得最上慧觀法耶?我為得內止,亦得最上慧觀法耶?
「若比丘觀已,則知我得內止,不得最上慧觀法者,彼比丘得內止已,當求最上慧觀法,彼於後時得內止,亦得最上慧觀法。若比丘觀已,則知我得最上慧觀法,不得內止者,彼比丘住最上慧觀法已,當求內止,彼於後時得最上慧觀法,亦得內止
現代漢語譯本:這位比丘應當這樣觀察:『我依靠這片森林居住,是爲了出家修道,想要獲得沙門的意義。這個意義我已經得到了,修道者所需要的衣服、飲食、床鋪、湯藥以及各種生活用具,這些我都能輕易獲得。』這位比丘這樣觀察之後,就可以依靠這片森林居住,直到生命終結。如同依靠森林居住一樣,依靠墳地、村莊、依靠人居住也是如此。」 《林經》第二結束(八百三十一字) (一〇九)《中阿含林品自觀心經》第三(第二小土城誦) 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘不能很好地觀察他人的心,就應當好好地觀察自己的心,應當這樣學習。比丘如何才能好好地觀察自己的心呢?比丘如果這樣觀察,必定會獲得很多益處:我是獲得了內心的平靜,卻沒有獲得最上智慧的觀察方法嗎?我是獲得了最上智慧的觀察方法,卻沒有獲得內心的平靜嗎?我是既沒有獲得內心的平靜,也沒有獲得最上智慧的觀察方法嗎?我是既獲得了內心的平靜,也獲得了最上智慧的觀察方法嗎?』 『如果比丘觀察之後,知道自己獲得了內心的平靜,卻沒有獲得最上智慧的觀察方法,那麼這位比丘在獲得內心的平靜之後,應當尋求最上智慧的觀察方法,他之後會獲得內心的平靜,也會獲得最上智慧的觀察方法。如果比丘觀察之後,知道自己獲得了最上智慧的觀察方法,卻沒有獲得內心的平靜,那麼這位比丘在擁有最上智慧的觀察方法之後,應當尋求內心的平靜,他之後會獲得最上智慧的觀察方法,也會獲得內心的平靜。
English version: This bhikkhu should contemplate thus: 『I dwell relying on this forest, having gone forth to practice the path, desiring to attain the meaning of a samana. This meaning I have attained. The requisites for a practitioner—robes, food, bedding, medicine, and various necessities—all these I can easily obtain.』 Having contemplated thus, this bhikkhu may dwell relying on this forest until the end of his life. Just as dwelling relying on a forest, so too is dwelling relying on a charnel ground, a village, or relying on people.」 The second Forest Discourse ends (831 words) (109) The Middle Length Discourses, Forest Section, The Discourse on Observing One's Own Mind, the Third (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was wandering in Savatthi, residing in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 『If a bhikkhu is not able to observe the minds of others well, he should observe his own mind well, and should learn thus. How does a bhikkhu observe his own mind well? If a bhikkhu observes thus, he will surely gain much benefit: Have I attained inner stillness, but not attained the highest wisdom of contemplation? Have I attained the highest wisdom of contemplation, but not attained inner stillness? Have I attained neither inner stillness nor the highest wisdom of contemplation? Have I attained both inner stillness and the highest wisdom of contemplation?』 『If a bhikkhu, having observed, knows that he has attained inner stillness, but has not attained the highest wisdom of contemplation, then that bhikkhu, having attained inner stillness, should seek the highest wisdom of contemplation. Later, he will attain inner stillness and also attain the highest wisdom of contemplation. If a bhikkhu, having observed, knows that he has attained the highest wisdom of contemplation, but has not attained inner stillness, then that bhikkhu, having attained the highest wisdom of contemplation, should seek inner stillness. Later, he will attain the highest wisdom of contemplation and also attain inner stillness.』
。若比丘觀已,則知我不得內止,亦不得最上慧觀法者,如是比丘不得此善法,為欲得故,便以速求方便,學極精勤,正念正智,忍不令退。猶人為火燒頭、燒衣,急求方便救頭、救衣。如是,比丘不得此善法,為欲得故,便以速求方便,學極精勤,正念正智,忍不令退,彼於後時即得內止,亦得最上慧觀法。若比丘觀已,則知我得內止,亦得最上慧觀法。彼比丘住此善法已,當求漏盡智通作證。所以者何?我說不得畜一切衣,亦說得畜一切衣。云何衣我說不得畜?若畜衣便增長惡不善法、衰退善法者,如是衣我說不得畜。云何衣我說得畜?若畜衣便增長善法、衰退惡不善法者,如是衣我說得畜。如衣、飲食、床榻村邑亦復如是,我說不得狎習一切人,亦說得狎習一切人。云何人我說不得狎習?若狎習人便增長惡不善法、衰退善法者,如是人我說不得狎習。云何人我說得與狎習?若狎習人便增長善法、衰退惡不善法者,如是人我說得與狎習。
「彼可習法知如真、不可習法亦知如真。彼可習法、不可習法知如真已,不可習法便不習,可習法便習,彼不可習不習,可習法習已,便增長善法,衰退惡不善法。是謂比丘善自觀心,善自知心,善取善舍。」
現代漢語譯本:如果比丘觀察后,知道自己沒有達到內心的平靜,也沒有獲得最上等的智慧觀照方法,這樣的比丘就無法獲得這種善法。爲了獲得它,他會迅速尋求方法,極其精勤地學習,保持正念和正智,忍耐而不退縮。就像有人頭被火燒、衣服被火燒一樣,會急切地尋求方法來救頭、救衣服。同樣,如果比丘沒有獲得這種善法,爲了獲得它,他會迅速尋求方法,極其精勤地學習,保持正念和正智,忍耐而不退縮。之後,他就能獲得內心的平靜,也能獲得最上等的智慧觀照方法。如果比丘觀察后,知道自己已經獲得了內心的平靜,也獲得了最上等的智慧觀照方法,那麼這位比丘在安住于這種善法之後,應當尋求漏盡的智慧和神通來作證。為什麼呢?我說過不能擁有一切衣服,也說過可以擁有一切衣服。什麼樣的衣服我說不能擁有呢?如果擁有衣服會增長惡不善法、衰退善法,這樣的衣服我說不能擁有。什麼樣的衣服我說可以擁有呢?如果擁有衣服會增長善法、衰退惡不善法,這樣的衣服我說可以擁有。衣服、飲食、床榻、村莊也是如此。我說過不能親近一切人,也說過可以親近一切人。什麼樣的人我說不能親近呢?如果親近人會增長惡不善法、衰退善法,這樣的人我說不能親近。什麼樣的人我說可以親近呢?如果親近人會增長善法、衰退惡不善法,這樣的人我說可以親近。 『他應該知道什麼是真實的可習法,也應該知道什麼是真實的不可習法。當他知道什麼是真實的可習法和不可習法后,就會不習不可習法,而習可習法。當他不習不可習法,而習可習法后,就會增長善法,衰退惡不善法。這就是比丘善於觀察自己的心,善於瞭解自己的心,善於取捨。』 佛陀是這樣說的。那些比丘聽了佛陀所說的話,都歡喜地奉行。
English version: If a bhikkhu, having observed, knows that he has not attained inner stillness, nor has he obtained the supreme wisdom of contemplation, such a bhikkhu does not attain this good dharma. In order to attain it, he will quickly seek methods, study with extreme diligence, maintain right mindfulness and right wisdom, and endure without retreating. Just as a person whose head is burned by fire or whose clothes are burned by fire would urgently seek methods to save his head and clothes, similarly, if a bhikkhu has not attained this good dharma, in order to attain it, he will quickly seek methods, study with extreme diligence, maintain right mindfulness and right wisdom, and endure without retreating. Afterward, he will attain inner stillness and also obtain the supreme wisdom of contemplation. If a bhikkhu, having observed, knows that he has attained inner stillness and also obtained the supreme wisdom of contemplation, then this bhikkhu, having abided in this good dharma, should seek the wisdom of the extinction of outflows and supernormal powers to realize it. Why is that? I have said that one should not possess all clothing, and I have also said that one may possess all clothing. What kind of clothing do I say one should not possess? If possessing clothing increases evil unwholesome dharmas and decreases wholesome dharmas, such clothing I say one should not possess. What kind of clothing do I say one may possess? If possessing clothing increases wholesome dharmas and decreases evil unwholesome dharmas, such clothing I say one may possess. The same is true for clothing, food, bedding, and villages. I have said that one should not associate with all people, and I have also said that one may associate with all people. What kind of people do I say one should not associate with? If associating with people increases evil unwholesome dharmas and decreases wholesome dharmas, such people I say one should not associate with. What kind of people do I say one may associate with? If associating with people increases wholesome dharmas and decreases evil unwholesome dharmas, such people I say one may associate with. 'He should know what is truly suitable to practice, and he should also know what is truly unsuitable to practice. When he knows what is truly suitable to practice and what is unsuitable to practice, he will not practice what is unsuitable, but will practice what is suitable. When he does not practice what is unsuitable and practices what is suitable, he will increase wholesome dharmas and decrease evil unwholesome dharmas. This is what it means for a bhikkhu to be good at observing his own mind, good at understanding his own mind, and good at taking and discarding.'

(一一〇)中阿含林品自觀心經第四(第二小土城誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若有比丘不能善觀於他心者,當自善觀察於己心,應學如是。云何比丘善自觀心?比丘者,若有此觀,必多所饒益:我為多行增伺,為多行無增伺?我為多行瞋恚心,為多行無瞋恚心?我為多行睡眠纏,為多行無睡眠纏?我為多行調貢高,為多行無調貢高?我為多行疑惑,為多行無疑惑?我為多行身諍,為多行無身諍?我為多行穢污心,為多行無穢污心?我為多行信,為多行不信?我為多行精進,為多行懈怠?我為多行念,為多行無念?我為多行定,為多行無定?我為多行惡慧,為多行無惡慧?
「若比丘觀時,則知我多行增伺、瞋恚心、睡眠纏、調貢高、疑惑、身諍、穢污心、不信、懈怠、無念、無定、多行惡慧者,彼比丘欲滅此惡不善法故,便以速求方便,學極精勤,正念正智,忍不令退。猶人為火燒頭、燒衣、急求方便救頭、救衣。如是,比丘欲滅此惡不善法故,便以速求方便,學極精勤,正念正智,忍不令退
《自觀心經》第三(共六百三十五字)結束 (一一〇)《中阿含經·林品·自觀心經》第四(第二小土城誦) 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘不能善於觀察他人的心,就應當善於觀察自己的心,應該這樣學習。比丘如何善於觀察自己的心呢?比丘如果這樣觀察,必定會獲得很多利益:我是多行增伺,還是多行無增伺?我是多行瞋恚心,還是多行無瞋恚心?我是多行睡眠纏,還是多行無睡眠纏?我是多行調貢高,還是多行無調貢高?我是多行疑惑,還是多行無疑惑?我是多行身諍,還是多行無身諍?我是多行穢污心,還是多行無穢污心?我是多行信,還是多行不信?我是多行精進,還是多行懈怠?我是多行念,還是多行無念?我是多行定,還是多行無定?我是多行惡慧,還是多行無惡慧?』 『如果比丘觀察時,知道自己多行增伺、瞋恚心、睡眠纏、調貢高、疑惑、身諍、穢污心、不信、懈怠、無念、無定、多行惡慧,那麼這位比丘爲了滅除這些惡不善法,就應當迅速尋求方法,學習極其精勤,保持正念正智,忍耐不退。就像有人被火燒頭、燒衣服,會急切地尋求方法來救頭、救衣服一樣。同樣,比丘爲了滅除這些惡不善法,就應當迅速尋求方法,學習極其精勤,保持正念正智,忍耐不退。』
The third Self-Observation of the Mind Sutra ends (635 characters). (110) The fourth Self-Observation of the Mind Sutra in the Forest Section of the Middle Agama (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At that time, the World Honored One addressed the monks: 'If a monk is not skilled in observing the minds of others, he should be skilled in observing his own mind, and should learn in this way. How does a monk skillfully observe his own mind? If a monk observes in this way, he will surely gain much benefit: Do I frequently engage in increased speculation, or do I frequently engage in non-increased speculation? Do I frequently engage in a mind of anger, or do I frequently engage in a mind without anger? Do I frequently engage in the hindrance of sleep, or do I frequently engage in the absence of the hindrance of sleep? Do I frequently engage in arrogance and conceit, or do I frequently engage in the absence of arrogance and conceit? Do I frequently engage in doubt, or do I frequently engage in the absence of doubt? Do I frequently engage in bodily disputes, or do I frequently engage in the absence of bodily disputes? Do I frequently engage in a defiled mind, or do I frequently engage in an undefiled mind? Do I frequently engage in faith, or do I frequently engage in lack of faith? Do I frequently engage in diligence, or do I frequently engage in laziness? Do I frequently engage in mindfulness, or do I frequently engage in the absence of mindfulness? Do I frequently engage in concentration, or do I frequently engage in the absence of concentration? Do I frequently engage in evil wisdom, or do I frequently engage in the absence of evil wisdom?' 'If a monk, upon observing, knows that he frequently engages in increased speculation, a mind of anger, the hindrance of sleep, arrogance and conceit, doubt, bodily disputes, a defiled mind, lack of faith, laziness, absence of mindfulness, absence of concentration, and evil wisdom, then that monk, in order to extinguish these evil and unwholesome states, should quickly seek a means, learn with utmost diligence, maintain right mindfulness and right wisdom, and endure without retreating. Just as a person whose head or clothes are being burned by fire would urgently seek a means to save his head or clothes, so too, a monk, in order to extinguish these evil and unwholesome states, should quickly seek a means, learn with utmost diligence, maintain right mindfulness and right wisdom, and endure without retreating.'
。若比丘觀時,則知我多行無增伺、無瞋恚心、無睡眠纏、無調貢高、無疑惑、無身諍、無穢污心、有信、有進、有念、有定、多行無惡慧者。彼比丘住此善法已,當求漏盡智通作證。所以者何?我說不得畜一切衣,亦說得畜一切衣。云何衣我說不得畜?若畜衣便增長惡不善法、衰退善法者,如是衣我說不得畜。云何衣我說得畜?若畜衣便增長善法、衰退惡不善法者,如是衣我說得畜。如衣,飲食、床榻村邑亦復如是,我說不得狎習一切人,亦說得狎習一切人。云何人我說不得狎習?若狎習人便增長惡不善法、衰退善法者,如是人我說不得狎習。云何人我說得與狎習?若狎習人便增長善法、衰退惡不善法者,如是人我說得與狎習。
「彼可習法知如真,不可習法亦知如真。彼可習法、不可習法知如真已,不可習法便不習,可習法便習,彼不可習法不習,可習法習已,便增長善法,衰退惡不善法。是謂比丘善自觀心,善自知心,善取善舍。」
自觀心經第四竟(六百六十字)
(一一一)中阿含林品達梵行經第五(第二小土城誦)
現代漢語譯本:如果比丘觀察自己,就會知道自己多行無增伺、無瞋恚心、無睡眠纏、無調舉貢高、無疑惑、無身諍、無穢污心,有信、有精進、有正念、有禪定,多行無惡慧。這位比丘安住于這些善法之後,應當尋求漏盡智通的證悟。為什麼呢?我說過不得蓄積一切衣服,也說過可以蓄積一切衣服。什麼樣的衣服我說不得蓄積呢?如果蓄積衣服會增長惡不善法,衰退善法,這樣的衣服我說不得蓄積。什麼樣的衣服我說可以蓄積呢?如果蓄積衣服會增長善法,衰退惡不善法,這樣的衣服我說可以蓄積。如同衣服,飲食、床榻、村邑也是如此。我說過不得親近一切人,也說過可以親近一切人。什麼樣的人我說不得親近呢?如果親近這個人會增長惡不善法,衰退善法,這樣的人我說不得親近。什麼樣的人我說可以親近呢?如果親近這個人會增長善法,衰退惡不善法,這樣的人我說可以親近。 對於可以修習的法,他如實知曉;對於不可以修習的法,他也如實知曉。當他如實知曉可以修習的法和不可以修習的法后,便不修習不可以修習的法,而修習可以修習的法。當他不修習不可以修習的法,而修習可以修習的法后,便會增長善法,衰退惡不善法。這就是比丘善於觀察自己的心,善於瞭解自己的心,善於取捨善法。 《自觀心經》第四完(六百六十字) (一一一)《中阿含林品達梵行經》第五(第二小土城誦)
English version: If a bhikkhu observes himself, he knows that he often practices without increased thoughts, without anger, without the hindrance of sleep, without restlessness and conceit, without doubt, without bodily strife, without a defiled mind, with faith, with diligence, with mindfulness, with concentration, and often practices without evil wisdom. Having dwelt in these good qualities, that bhikkhu should seek the realization of the extinction of outflows through wisdom. Why is that? I have said that one should not accumulate all robes, and I have also said that one may accumulate all robes. What kind of robes do I say one should not accumulate? If accumulating robes increases evil unwholesome qualities and decreases wholesome qualities, such robes I say one should not accumulate. What kind of robes do I say one may accumulate? If accumulating robes increases wholesome qualities and decreases evil unwholesome qualities, such robes I say one may accumulate. Just like robes, so too with food, beds, and villages. I have said that one should not associate with all people, and I have also said that one may associate with all people. What kind of people do I say one should not associate with? If associating with a person increases evil unwholesome qualities and decreases wholesome qualities, such a person I say one should not associate with. What kind of people do I say one may associate with? If associating with a person increases wholesome qualities and decreases evil unwholesome qualities, such a person I say one may associate with. He knows as it truly is what is to be practiced, and he also knows as it truly is what is not to be practiced. Having known as it truly is what is to be practiced and what is not to be practiced, he does not practice what is not to be practiced, and he practices what is to be practiced. When he does not practice what is not to be practiced, and practices what is to be practiced, he increases wholesome qualities and decreases evil unwholesome qualities. This is what it means for a bhikkhu to observe his own mind well, to know his own mind well, and to take up and abandon good qualities well. The fourth discourse, 'Self-Observation of the Mind,' is concluded (660 words). (111) The fifth discourse, 'The Attainment of the Holy Life,' from the 'Middle Length Discourses,' 'The Forest Section' (Second Small Earth City Recitation).
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我當爲汝說法,初妙、中妙、竟亦妙,有文有義,具足清凈,顯現梵行,謂名達梵行,能盡諸漏。汝等諦聽,善思念之。」時,諸比丘受教而聽。
世尊告曰:「汝等當知漏,知漏所因生,知漏有報,知漏勝如,知漏滅盡,知漏滅道。汝等當知覺,知覺所因生,知覺有報,知覺勝如,知覺滅盡,知覺滅道。汝等當知想,知想所因生,知想有報,知想勝如,知想滅盡,知想滅道。汝等當知欲,知欲所因生,知欲有報,知欲勝如,知欲滅盡,知欲滅道。汝等當知業,知業所因生,知業有報,知業勝如,知業滅盡,知業滅道。汝等當知苦,知苦所因生,知苦有報,知苦勝如,知苦滅盡,知苦滅道。
「云何知漏?謂有三漏:欲漏、有漏、無明漏,是謂知漏。云何知漏所因生?謂無明也。因無明則便有漏,是謂知漏所因生。云何知漏有報?謂無明纏者,為諸漏所漬,彼因此受報,或得善處,或得惡處,是謂知漏有報。云何知漏勝如?謂或有漏生地獄中,或有漏生畜生中,或有漏生餓鬼中,或有漏生天上,或有漏生人間,是謂知漏勝如。云何知漏滅盡?謂無明滅,漏便滅,是謂知漏滅盡。云何知漏滅道?謂八支聖道,正見乃至正定為八,是謂知漏滅道
那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我將為你們說法,開初是美好的,中間是美好的,結尾也是美好的,有文辭有義理,完整清凈,彰顯梵行,稱為達梵行,能使諸煩惱漏盡。你們仔細聽,好好思考。』當時,眾比丘接受教誨,認真聽講。 世尊說:『你們應當知道煩惱漏,知道煩惱漏產生的原因,知道煩惱漏的果報,知道煩惱漏的殊勝之處,知道煩惱漏的滅盡,知道煩惱漏的滅盡之道。你們應當知道感受,知道感受產生的原因,知道感受的果報,知道感受的殊勝之處,知道感受的滅盡,知道感受的滅盡之道。你們應當知道想,知道想產生的原因,知道想的果報,知道想的殊勝之處,知道想的滅盡,知道想的滅盡之道。你們應當知道慾望,知道慾望產生的原因,知道慾望的果報,知道慾望的殊勝之處,知道慾望的滅盡,知道慾望的滅盡之道。你們應當知道業,知道業產生的原因,知道業的果報,知道業的殊勝之處,知道業的滅盡,知道業的滅盡之道。你們應當知道苦,知道苦產生的原因,知道苦的果報,知道苦的殊勝之處,知道苦的滅盡,知道苦的滅盡之道。』 『如何知道煩惱漏?有三種煩惱漏:欲漏、有漏、無明漏,這就是知道煩惱漏。如何知道煩惱漏產生的原因?是無明。因為無明,所以有煩惱漏,這就是知道煩惱漏產生的原因。如何知道煩惱漏的果報?被無明纏縛的人,被各種煩惱漏所浸染,因此承受果報,或者得到善處,或者得到惡處,這就是知道煩惱漏的果報。如何知道煩惱漏的殊勝之處?有的煩惱漏使人墮入地獄,有的煩惱漏使人墮入畜生道,有的煩惱漏使人墮入餓鬼道,有的煩惱漏使人升入天界,有的煩惱漏使人轉生人間,這就是知道煩惱漏的殊勝之處。如何知道煩惱漏的滅盡?無明滅盡,煩惱漏就滅盡,這就是知道煩惱漏的滅盡。如何知道煩惱漏的滅盡之道?就是八支聖道,正見乃至正定這八項,這就是知道煩惱漏的滅盡之道。』
At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'I will teach you the Dharma, which is beautiful in the beginning, beautiful in the middle, and beautiful in the end, with both the letter and the spirit, complete and pure, revealing the holy life, called the attainment of the holy life, which can exhaust all outflows. You should listen carefully and contemplate it well.' At that time, the bhikkhus received the teaching and listened attentively. The World Honored One said: 'You should know the outflows, know the cause of the arising of outflows, know the retribution of outflows, know the excellence of outflows, know the extinction of outflows, and know the path to the extinction of outflows. You should know feeling, know the cause of the arising of feeling, know the retribution of feeling, know the excellence of feeling, know the extinction of feeling, and know the path to the extinction of feeling. You should know perception, know the cause of the arising of perception, know the retribution of perception, know the excellence of perception, know the extinction of perception, and know the path to the extinction of perception. You should know desire, know the cause of the arising of desire, know the retribution of desire, know the excellence of desire, know the extinction of desire, and know the path to the extinction of desire. You should know karma, know the cause of the arising of karma, know the retribution of karma, know the excellence of karma, know the extinction of karma, and know the path to the extinction of karma. You should know suffering, know the cause of the arising of suffering, know the retribution of suffering, know the excellence of suffering, know the extinction of suffering, and know the path to the extinction of suffering.' 'How to know the outflows? There are three outflows: the outflow of desire, the outflow of becoming, and the outflow of ignorance. This is knowing the outflows. How to know the cause of the arising of outflows? It is ignorance. Because of ignorance, there are outflows. This is knowing the cause of the arising of outflows. How to know the retribution of outflows? Those who are bound by ignorance are stained by various outflows, and therefore receive retribution, either in a good place or in a bad place. This is knowing the retribution of outflows. How to know the excellence of outflows? Some outflows cause one to fall into hell, some outflows cause one to fall into the animal realm, some outflows cause one to fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, some outflows cause one to ascend to the heavens, and some outflows cause one to be reborn in the human realm. This is knowing the excellence of outflows. How to know the extinction of outflows? When ignorance is extinguished, the outflows are extinguished. This is knowing the extinction of outflows. How to know the path to the extinction of outflows? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely right view to right concentration. This is knowing the path to the extinction of outflows.'
。若比丘如是知漏,知漏所因生,知漏受報,知漏勝如,知漏滅盡,知漏滅道者,是謂達梵行,能盡一切漏。
「云何知覺?謂有三覺:樂覺、苦覺、不苦不樂覺,是謂知覺。云何知覺所因生?謂更樂也。因更樂則便有覺,是謂知覺所因生。云何知覺有報?謂愛也。愛為覺報,是謂知覺有報。云何知覺勝如?謂比丘者,覺樂覺時便知覺樂覺,覺苦覺時便知覺苦覺,覺不苦不樂覺時便知覺不苦不樂覺,樂身、苦身、不苦不樂身,樂心、苦心、不苦不樂心,樂食、苦食、不苦不樂食,樂無食、苦無食、不苦不樂無食,樂欲、苦欲、不苦不樂欲,樂無慾、苦無慾覺、不苦不樂無慾覺時,便知覺不苦不樂無慾覺,是謂知覺勝如。云何知覺滅盡?謂更樂滅,覺便滅,是謂知覺滅盡。云何知覺滅道?謂八支聖道,正見乃至正定為八,是謂知覺滅道。若比丘如是知覺,知覺所因生,知覺有報,知覺勝如,知覺滅盡,知覺滅道者,是謂達梵行,能盡一切覺。
「云何知想?謂有四想。比丘者,小想亦知,大想亦知,無量想亦知,無所有處想亦知,是謂知想。云何知想所因生?謂更樂也。因更樂則便有想,是謂知想所因生。云何知想有報?謂說也。隨其想便說,是謂知想有報
現代漢語譯本:如果比丘這樣瞭解煩惱,瞭解煩惱產生的原因,瞭解煩惱的果報,瞭解煩惱的殊勝之處,瞭解煩惱的滅盡,瞭解滅盡煩惱的道路,這就稱為通達梵行,能夠滅盡一切煩惱。 什麼是知覺?有三種知覺:樂的知覺、苦的知覺、不苦不樂的知覺,這稱為知覺。什麼是知覺產生的原因?是由於感受快樂。因為感受快樂,所以產生知覺,這稱為知覺產生的原因。什麼是知覺的果報?是愛。愛是知覺的果報,這稱為知覺的果報。什麼是知覺的殊勝之處?比丘在感受快樂的知覺時,知道自己正在感受快樂的知覺;在感受痛苦的知覺時,知道自己正在感受痛苦的知覺;在感受不苦不樂的知覺時,知道自己正在感受不苦不樂的知覺。感受身體的快樂、痛苦、不苦不樂,感受內心的快樂、痛苦、不苦不樂,感受食物的快樂、痛苦、不苦不樂,感受無食物的快樂、痛苦、不苦不樂,感受慾望的快樂、痛苦、不苦不樂,感受無慾望的快樂、痛苦、不苦不樂時,知道自己正在感受不苦不樂的無慾望的知覺,這稱為知覺的殊勝之處。什麼是知覺的滅盡?是當感受快樂滅盡時,知覺也隨之滅盡,這稱為知覺的滅盡。什麼是滅盡知覺的道路?是八正道,即正見乃至正定這八項,這稱為滅盡知覺的道路。如果比丘這樣瞭解知覺,瞭解知覺產生的原因,瞭解知覺的果報,瞭解知覺的殊勝之處,瞭解知覺的滅盡,瞭解滅盡知覺的道路,這就稱為通達梵行,能夠滅盡一切知覺。 什麼是知想?有四種知想。比丘知道小的知想,也知道大的知想,也知道無量的知想,也知道無所有處的知想,這稱為知想。什麼是知想產生的原因?是由於感受快樂。因為感受快樂,所以產生知想,這稱為知想產生的原因。什麼是知想的果報?是言說。隨著所想的就說出來,這稱為知想的果報。
English version: If a bhikkhu thus knows the outflows, knows the cause of the arising of the outflows, knows the gratification of the outflows, knows the danger of the outflows, knows the cessation of the outflows, and knows the path leading to the cessation of the outflows, this is called the attainment of the holy life, capable of ending all outflows. What is feeling? There are three feelings: pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. This is called feeling. What is the cause of the arising of feeling? It is due to experiencing pleasure. Because of experiencing pleasure, feeling arises. This is called the cause of the arising of feeling. What is the gratification of feeling? It is craving. Craving is the gratification of feeling. This is called the gratification of feeling. What is the danger of feeling? When a bhikkhu experiences a pleasant feeling, he knows that he is experiencing a pleasant feeling; when he experiences a painful feeling, he knows that he is experiencing a painful feeling; when he experiences a neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling, he knows that he is experiencing a neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. Experiencing bodily pleasure, pain, or neither-pleasure-nor-pain; experiencing mental pleasure, pain, or neither-pleasure-nor-pain; experiencing pleasure, pain, or neither-pleasure-nor-pain from food; experiencing pleasure, pain, or neither-pleasure-nor-pain from no food; experiencing pleasure, pain, or neither-pleasure-nor-pain from desire; experiencing pleasure, pain, or neither-pleasure-nor-pain from no desire, he knows that he is experiencing neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling from no desire. This is called the danger of feeling. What is the cessation of feeling? It is when the experience of pleasure ceases, feeling also ceases. This is called the cessation of feeling. What is the path leading to the cessation of feeling? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely right view to right concentration, these eight. This is called the path leading to the cessation of feeling. If a bhikkhu thus knows feeling, knows the cause of the arising of feeling, knows the gratification of feeling, knows the danger of feeling, knows the cessation of feeling, and knows the path leading to the cessation of feeling, this is called the attainment of the holy life, capable of ending all feeling. What is perception? There are four perceptions. A bhikkhu knows the small perception, also knows the large perception, also knows the immeasurable perception, also knows the perception of the sphere of nothingness. This is called perception. What is the cause of the arising of perception? It is due to experiencing pleasure. Because of experiencing pleasure, perception arises. This is called the cause of the arising of perception.

。若比丘如是知苦,知苦所因生,知苦有報,知苦勝如,知苦滅盡。知苦滅道者,是謂達梵行,能盡一切苦。」
達梵行經第五竟(一千六百四十二字)
(一一二)中阿含林品阿奴波經第六(第二小土城誦)
一時,佛游跋耆瘦,在阿奴波䟦耆都邑。
爾時,世尊則于晡時從宴坐起,堂上來下,告曰:「阿難!共汝往至阿夷羅和帝河浴。」
尊者阿難白曰:「唯然。」
於是,世尊將尊者阿難往至阿夷羅和帝河,脫衣岸上,便入水浴,浴已還出,拭體著衣。爾時,尊者阿難執扇扇佛。於是,世尊回顧告曰:「阿難!提和達哆以放逸故,墮極苦難,必至惡處,生地獄中,住至一劫不可救濟。阿難!汝不曾從諸比丘聞,謂我一向記提和達哆必至惡處,生地獄中,住至一劫不可救濟耶?」
爾時,有一比丘語尊者阿難:「世尊以他心智知提和達哆心故,一向記提和達哆必至惡處,生地獄中,住至一劫不可救濟耶?」
世尊告曰:「阿難!彼比丘或有小,或有中,或有大,或年少不自知。所以者何?如來已一向記彼故有疑惑
現代漢語譯本:如果比丘這樣瞭解苦,瞭解苦的生起原因,瞭解苦的果報,瞭解苦的殊勝之處,瞭解苦的滅盡,瞭解滅苦之道,這就稱為通達梵行,能夠徹底滅盡一切痛苦。 《達梵行經》第五篇結束(一千六百四十二字) (一一二)《中阿含林品阿奴波經》第六(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在跋耆國的瘦地游化,住在阿奴波跋耆城。 那時,世尊在傍晚時分從禪定中起身,從講堂下來,告訴阿難說:『阿難!我們一起去阿夷羅和帝河洗澡吧。』 尊者阿難回答說:『好的。』 於是,世尊帶著尊者阿難來到阿夷羅和帝河,在岸邊脫下衣服,就下水洗澡。洗完澡后,上岸擦乾身體,穿上衣服。這時,尊者阿難拿著扇子為佛陀扇風。於是,世尊回頭告訴阿難說:『阿難!提婆達多因為放縱的緣故,墮入極大的苦難,必定會墮入惡道,生在地獄中,住滿一劫都無法救贖。阿難!你難道沒有從其他比丘那裡聽說過,我說過提婆達多必定會墮入惡道,生在地獄中,住滿一劫都無法救贖嗎?』 尊者阿難回答說:『是的。』 這時,有一位比丘問尊者阿難:『世尊是因為用他心智知道提婆達多的心,所以才說提婆達多必定會墮入惡道,生在地獄中,住滿一劫都無法救贖嗎?』 世尊說:『阿難!那位比丘或許年幼,或許中年,或許年長,或許年少不自知。為什麼呢?因為如來已經說過他會這樣,所以他們才會有疑惑。』
English version: 'If a bhikkhu thus knows suffering, knows the cause of the arising of suffering, knows the result of suffering, knows the superiority of suffering, knows the cessation of suffering, and knows the path leading to the cessation of suffering, this is called the attainment of the holy life, and one is able to completely extinguish all suffering.' The fifth discourse, 'Attainment of the Holy Life,' is concluded (1642 words). (112) The sixth discourse, 'Anupama Sutta' from the 'Forest Chapter' of the Middle Length Discourses (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the land of the Vajji, staying in the city of Anupama Vajji. Then, the Blessed One, in the late afternoon, arose from his meditation, came down from the hall, and said to Ananda, 'Ananda! Let us go to the Ahiravati River to bathe.' Venerable Ananda replied, 'Yes, venerable sir.' Then, the Blessed One, with Venerable Ananda, went to the Ahiravati River, took off his clothes on the bank, and entered the water to bathe. Having bathed, he came out, dried himself, and put on his clothes. At that time, Venerable Ananda was fanning the Buddha with a fan. Then, the Blessed One turned and said to Ananda, 'Ananda! Devadatta, due to his negligence, has fallen into extreme suffering, and will certainly fall into a bad destination, be born in hell, and remain there for an eon, beyond redemption. Ananda! Have you not heard from the other bhikkhus that I have declared that Devadatta will certainly fall into a bad destination, be born in hell, and remain there for an eon, beyond redemption?' Then, a certain bhikkhu said to Venerable Ananda, 'Is it because the Blessed One knows Devadatta's mind with his mind-knowing power that he has declared that Devadatta will certainly fall into a bad destination, be born in hell, and remain there for an eon, beyond redemption?' The Blessed One said, 'Ananda! That bhikkhu may be young, middle-aged, or old, or young and not self-aware. Why is that? Because the Tathagata has already declared it, therefore they have doubts.'
。阿難!我不見此世,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,謂我一向記如提和達哆。所以者何?阿難!我一向記提和達哆必至惡處,生地獄中,住至一劫不可救濟。阿難!若我見提和達哆有白凈法如一毛許,我便不一向記提和達哆必至惡處,生地獄中,住至一劫不可救濟。阿難!我以不見提和達哆有白凈法如一毛許,是故我一向記提和達哆必至惡處,生地獄中,住至一劫不可救濟。
「阿難!猶去村不遠有大深廁,或人墮中,沒在其底。若人來,為起大慈哀,憐念愍傷,求義及饒益,求安隱快樂,彼人來已,旋轉視之而作是說:『此人可得一處如毛髮許,糞所不污,令我得捉挽出之耶?』彼遍觀視,不見此人有一凈處如毛髮許,糞所不污,可得手捉挽出之也。如是,阿難!若我見提和達哆有白凈法如一毛者,我不一向記提和達哆必至惡處,生地獄中,住至一劫不可救濟。阿難!以我不見提和達哆有白凈法如一毛許,是故我一向記提和達哆必至惡處,生地獄中,住至一劫不可救濟。」
於是,尊者阿難啼泣,以手抆淚,白曰:「世尊!甚奇!甚特!謂世尊一向記提和達哆必至惡處,生地獄中,住至一劫不可救濟。」
世尊告曰:「如是。阿難!如是
現代漢語譯本:阿難!我觀察這世間,包括天神、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門,從人到天,沒有誰會說我一直都預言提婆達多會如此。為什麼呢?阿難!我一直都預言提婆達多必定會墮入惡道,生於地獄之中,住滿一劫都無法救拔。阿難!如果我看到提婆達多有像一根毛髮那樣微小的清凈善法,我就不會一直預言提婆達多必定會墮入惡道,生於地獄之中,住滿一劫都無法救拔。阿難!正因為我沒有看到提婆達多有像一根毛髮那樣微小的清凈善法,所以我才一直預言提婆達多必定會墮入惡道,生於地獄之中,住滿一劫都無法救拔。 阿難!就像離村子不遠的地方有一個很深的廁所,如果有人掉進去,就會沉到最底部。如果有人來,對這個人產生大慈悲心,憐憫傷感,想要為他求得利益和安穩快樂,這個人來了之後,環顧四周,然後說:『這個人身上有沒有一處像毛髮那樣微小的地方,沒有被糞便污染,讓我可以抓住把他拉出來呢?』他四處觀察,沒有看到這個人身上有一處像毛髮那樣微小的地方,沒有被糞便污染,可以讓他抓住拉出來。同樣,阿難!如果我看到提婆達多有像一根毛髮那樣微小的清凈善法,我就不會一直預言提婆達多必定會墮入惡道,生於地獄之中,住滿一劫都無法救拔。阿難!正因為我沒有看到提婆達多有像一根毛髮那樣微小的清凈善法,所以我才一直預言提婆達多必定會墮入惡道,生於地獄之中,住滿一劫都無法救拔。」 於是,尊者阿難哭泣,用手擦拭眼淚,說道:『世尊!真是太奇怪了!太特別了!竟然世尊一直都預言提婆達多必定會墮入惡道,生於地獄之中,住滿一劫都無法救拔。』 世尊說道:『是的,阿難!確實如此。』
English version: Ananda! I do not see in this world, including gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, and Brahmins, from humans to gods, anyone who would say that I have always predicted such a fate for Devadatta. Why is that? Ananda! I have always predicted that Devadatta will surely fall into evil realms, be born in hell, and remain there for a kalpa, beyond salvation. Ananda! If I saw in Devadatta even a tiny bit of pure and virtuous quality, as small as a single hair, I would not always predict that Devadatta will surely fall into evil realms, be born in hell, and remain there for a kalpa, beyond salvation. Ananda! Because I do not see in Devadatta even a tiny bit of pure and virtuous quality, as small as a single hair, that is why I always predict that Devadatta will surely fall into evil realms, be born in hell, and remain there for a kalpa, beyond salvation. Ananda! It is like there is a deep latrine not far from a village, and if someone falls into it, they will sink to the bottom. If someone comes, with great compassion, pity, and sorrow, seeking benefit and peace and happiness for that person, after looking around, they would say: 『Is there any place on this person, as small as a single hair, that is not soiled by filth, so that I can grab it and pull them out?』 They would look everywhere and not see any place on this person, as small as a single hair, that is not soiled by filth, that they could grab to pull them out. Similarly, Ananda! If I saw in Devadatta even a tiny bit of pure and virtuous quality, as small as a single hair, I would not always predict that Devadatta will surely fall into evil realms, be born in hell, and remain there for a kalpa, beyond salvation. Ananda! Because I do not see in Devadatta even a tiny bit of pure and virtuous quality, as small as a single hair, that is why I always predict that Devadatta will surely fall into evil realms, be born in hell, and remain there for a kalpa, beyond salvation.』 Then, the venerable Ananda wept, wiping away his tears with his hand, and said: 『Venerable Sir! How strange! How extraordinary! That the Venerable One always predicts that Devadatta will surely fall into evil realms, be born in hell, and remain there for a kalpa, beyond salvation.』 The World Honored One said: 『Yes, Ananda! It is so.』
。阿難!我一向記提和達哆必至惡處,生地獄中,住至一劫不可救濟。阿難!若汝從如來聞大人根智分別者,必得上信如來而懷歡喜。」
於是,尊者阿難叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!今正是時。善逝!今正是時。若世尊為諸比丘說大人根智分別者,諸比丘從世尊聞,當善受持。」
世尊告曰:「阿難!諦聽,善思念之,我今為汝說大人根智分別。」尊者阿難受教而聽。
世尊告曰:「阿難!如來以他心智觀他人心,知此人成就善法,亦成就不善法。如來后時以他心智復觀此人心,知此人滅善法,生不善法。此人善法已滅,不善法已生,余有善根而不斷絕,從此善根當復更生善,如是此人得清凈法。阿難!猶如平旦日初出時,闇滅明生。阿難!于意云何?日轉升上,至於食時,闇已滅,明已生耶?」
尊者阿難白曰:「爾也。世尊!」
「如是。阿難!如來以他心智觀他人心,知此人成就善法,亦成就不善法。如來后時以他心智復觀此人心,知此人滅善法,生不善法。此人善法已滅,不善法已生,余有善根而不斷絕,從是善根當復更生善,如是此人得清凈法。阿難!猶如谷種,不壞不破,不腐不剖,不為風熱所傷,秋時密藏,若彼居士善治良田,以種灑中,隨時雨溉
現代漢語譯本:阿難!我一直記得提婆達多必定會墮入惡道,生於地獄之中,要住上一個劫的時間,無法救拔。阿難!如果你能從如來這裡聽到關於大人根性的智慧分別,必定會更加信受如來,心懷歡喜。 於是,尊者阿難合掌向佛,說道:『世尊!現在正是時候。善逝!現在正是時候。如果世尊為眾比丘宣說大人根性的智慧分別,眾比丘從世尊那裡聽聞,應當好好地受持。』 世尊告訴阿難:『阿難!仔細聽,好好思考,我現在為你說大人根性的智慧分別。』尊者阿難接受教誨,專心聽講。 世尊說道:『阿難!如來以他心智觀察他人之心,知道這個人成就了善法,也成就了不善法。如來之後又以他心智觀察此人的心,知道這個人滅除了善法,生起了不善法。這個人雖然善法已經滅除,不善法已經生起,但還殘留有善根沒有斷絕,從這善根中會再次生出善法,這樣這個人就能得到清凈之法。阿難!就像早晨太陽剛出來的時候,黑暗消滅,光明產生。阿難!你認為如何?太陽逐漸升起,到了吃飯的時候,黑暗已經消滅,光明已經產生了嗎?』 尊者阿難回答說:『是的,世尊!』 『正是這樣。阿難!如來以他心智觀察他人之心,知道這個人成就了善法,也成就了不善法。如來之後又以他心智觀察此人的心,知道這個人滅除了善法,生起了不善法。這個人雖然善法已經滅除,不善法已經生起,但還殘留有善根沒有斷絕,從這善根中會再次生出善法,這樣這個人就能得到清凈之法。阿難!就像穀子的種子,沒有損壞,沒有破裂,沒有腐爛,沒有被剖開,沒有被風熱所傷,秋天時被妥善收藏,如果那位居士好好耕種良田,把種子撒在田中,適時地澆灌雨水,
English version: 'Ananda! I have always remembered that Devadatta is bound to fall into evil realms, be born in hell, and dwell there for a kalpa, beyond salvation. Ananda! If you hear from the Tathagata the discernment of the wisdom of the faculties of a great person, you will surely have greater faith in the Tathagata and be filled with joy.' Then, the Venerable Ananda, with his palms together, addressed the Buddha, saying: 'World Honored One! Now is the right time. Well-gone One! Now is the right time. If the World Honored One were to explain the discernment of the wisdom of the faculties of a great person to the bhikkhus, the bhikkhus, having heard it from the World Honored One, should receive and uphold it well.' The World Honored One said to Ananda: 'Ananda! Listen carefully, and contemplate well, I will now explain to you the discernment of the wisdom of the faculties of a great person.' The Venerable Ananda received the teaching and listened attentively. The World Honored One said: 'Ananda! The Tathagata, with his mind-reading wisdom, observes the minds of others, knowing that this person has accomplished good deeds, and also accomplished unwholesome deeds. Later, the Tathagata, with his mind-reading wisdom, again observes this person's mind, knowing that this person has extinguished good deeds and generated unwholesome deeds. Although this person's good deeds have been extinguished and unwholesome deeds have been generated, there remains a root of goodness that has not been severed. From this root of goodness, good deeds will arise again, and thus this person will attain the pure Dharma. Ananda! It is like when the sun first rises at dawn, darkness is extinguished and light is generated. Ananda! What do you think? As the sun gradually rises, until mealtime, has the darkness been extinguished and the light been generated?' The Venerable Ananda replied: 'Yes, World Honored One!' 'It is so. Ananda! The Tathagata, with his mind-reading wisdom, observes the minds of others, knowing that this person has accomplished good deeds, and also accomplished unwholesome deeds. Later, the Tathagata, with his mind-reading wisdom, again observes this person's mind, knowing that this person has extinguished good deeds and generated unwholesome deeds. Although this person's good deeds have been extinguished and unwholesome deeds have been generated, there remains a root of goodness that has not been severed. From this root of goodness, good deeds will arise again, and thus this person will attain the pure Dharma. Ananda! It is like a grain seed, not damaged, not broken, not rotten, not split, not harmed by wind or heat, carefully stored in autumn. If that householder cultivates the field well, sows the seeds in the field, and waters them with rain at the right time,'

English version: 'Ananda, what do you think? Would this kind (of good dharma) not increase?' Venerable Ananda replied, 'Yes, Lord!' 'Yes, Ananda, the Tathagata, with his mind-reading wisdom, observes the minds of others, knowing that this person has achieved good dharma and also achieved unwholesome dharma. Later, the Tathagata, with his mind-reading wisdom, observes this person's mind again, knowing that this person has extinguished good dharma and generated unwholesome dharma. This person's good dharma has been extinguished, and unwholesome dharma has been generated, but there remains a root of good that has not been severed. From this root of good, good dharma will arise again, and thus this person will attain pure dharma. Ananda, this is what is called the Tathagata's great root wisdom; thus, the Tathagata correctly understands the root of all dharmas.' 'Furthermore, Ananda, the Tathagata, with his mind-reading wisdom, observes the minds of others, knowing that this person has achieved good dharma and also achieved unwholesome dharma. Later, the Tathagata, with his mind-reading wisdom, observes this person's mind again, knowing that this person has extinguished good dharma and generated unwholesome dharma. This person's good dharma has been extinguished, and unwholesome dharma has been generated, but there remains a root of good that has not been severed, and it will surely be severed. Thus, this person will attain the dharma of decline. Ananda, it is like when the sun sets in the late afternoon, light disappears, and darkness arises. Ananda, what do you think? Has the sun set, has the light disappeared, and has darkness arisen?' 'Yes, Ananda, the Tathagata, with his mind-reading wisdom, observes the minds of others, knowing that this person has achieved good dharma and also achieved unwholesome dharma. Later, the Tathagata, with his mind-reading wisdom, observes this person's mind again, knowing that this person has extinguished good dharma and generated unwholesome dharma. This person's good dharma has been extinguished, and unwholesome dharma has been generated, but there remains a root of good that has not been severed, and it will surely be severed. Thus, this person will attain the dharma of decline. Ananda, it is like a grain seed, not damaged, not broken, not rotten, not split, not harmed by wind or heat, carefully stored in the autumn. If that householder cultivates the good field well and sows the seeds in the field, but the rain does not come in time.'
。阿難!于意云何?此種寧得轉增長耶?」
尊者阿難白曰:「不也。世尊!」
「如是。阿難!如來以他心智觀他人心,知此人成就善法,亦成就不善法。如來后時以他心智復觀此人心,知此人滅善法,生不善法。此人善法已滅,不善法已生,余有善根而未斷絕,必當斷絕,如是此人得衰退法。阿難!是謂如來大人根智,如是如來正知諸法本。
「複次,阿難!如來以他心智觀他人心,我不見此人有白凈法如一毛許,此人惡不善法一向充滿穢污,為當來有本煩熱苦報、生老病死因,如是此人身壞命終,必至惡處,生地獄中。阿難!猶如種子,腐壞破剖,為風熱所傷,秋時不密藏,若彼居士,非是良田,又不善治,便下種子,雨不隨時。阿難!于意云何?此種寧得轉增長耶?」

於是,尊者阿難叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊已說如此三種之人,寧可更說異三種人耶?」
世尊告曰:「可說也
現代漢語譯本:阿難,你的意思如何?這種(善法)還能增長嗎?' 尊者阿難回答說:'不能,世尊!' '是的,阿難。如來以他心智觀察他人之心,知道此人成就善法,也成就了不善法。如來之後再以他心智觀察此人的心,知道此人滅了善法,生出了不善法。此人的善法已經滅了,不善法已經生出,還殘留著善根但沒有斷絕,必定會斷絕,這樣此人就得到了衰退之法。阿難,這就是如來大人的根智,如來就是這樣正確地知道諸法的根本。' '再者,阿難,如來以他心智觀察他人之心,我沒有看到此人有像一根毛髮那樣微小的清凈之法,此人的惡不善法完全充滿污穢,是未來產生煩熱苦報、生老病死的原因,這樣此人身壞命終,必定會到惡處,生在地獄中。阿難,就像種子,腐爛破損,被風熱所傷,秋天時沒有好好收藏,如果那塊地不是良田,又沒有好好耕作,就播下種子,雨水又不及時。阿難,你的意思如何?這種(種子)還能增長嗎?'

English version: 'Ananda, what do you think? Can this kind (of good dharma) still grow?' Venerable Ananda replied: 'No, Blessed One!' 'So it is, Ananda. The Tathagata, with his mind-reading wisdom, observes the minds of others, knowing that this person has achieved good dharma and also achieved unwholesome dharma. Later, the Tathagata, with his mind-reading wisdom, observes this person's mind again, knowing that this person has extinguished good dharma and generated unwholesome dharma. This person's good dharma has been extinguished, and unwholesome dharma has been generated. There are still remaining good roots that have not been severed, but they will surely be severed. Thus, this person obtains the dharma of decline. Ananda, this is the Tathagata's great root wisdom. Thus, the Tathagata correctly knows the root of all dharmas.' 'Furthermore, Ananda, the Tathagata, with his mind-reading wisdom, observes the minds of others. I do not see in this person even a hair's breadth of pure dharma. This person's evil and unwholesome dharma is completely filled with defilement, which is the cause of future torments of heat, suffering, birth, old age, sickness, and death. Thus, when this person's body breaks and life ends, they will surely go to an evil place and be born in hell. Ananda, it is like a seed that is rotten and broken, damaged by wind and heat, and not properly stored in autumn. If that field is not good soil and is not well cultivated, and the seeds are sown, and the rain does not come in time. Ananda, what do you think? Can this kind (of seed) still grow?' 'So it is, Ananda. The Tathagata, with his mind-reading wisdom, observes the minds of others. I do not see in this person even a hair's breadth of pure dharma.

Thus, the Tathagata correctly knows the root of all dharmas.' Then, Venerable Ananda, with his palms together, faced the Buddha and said: 'Blessed One, you have already spoken of these three kinds of people. Can you speak of another three kinds of people?' The Blessed One replied: 'It can be spoken of.'

English version: You should again practice alone, go to a deserted place, under the trees in the mountains and forests, in empty and quiet places, sit in meditation and contemplate, do not be lax and negligent, diligently strive forward, and do not let yourselves have regrets. This is my teaching, this is my instruction. The Buddha spoke thus. Those monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced accordingly. The sixth Anupama Sutta is complete (2,646 characters) The twenty-seventh volume of the Madhyama Agama Sutra (7,582 characters) Taisho Tripitaka Volume 01 No. 0026 Madhyama Agama Sutra The twenty-eighth volume of the Madhyama Agama Sutra Translated by the Tripitaka master Gautama Sanghadeva of Kipin in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (113) The seventh of the Madhyama Agama Forest Section, the Root of All Dharmas Sutta (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'If those of other schools come and ask you: 「What is the root of all dharmas?」 you should answer them thus: 「The root of all dharmas is desire.」 If they ask again: 「What is their harmony?」 you should answer thus: 「Their harmony is further pleasure.」 If they ask again: 「What is their coming?」 you should answer thus: 「Their coming is through awareness.」 If they ask again: 「What is their existence?」 you should answer thus: 「Their existence is through thought.」 If they ask again: 「What is their master?」 you should answer thus: 「Their master is mindfulness.」 If they ask again: 「What is their precursor?」 you should answer thus: 「Their precursor is concentration.」 If they ask again: 「What is their supreme?」 you should answer thus: 「Their supreme is wisdom.」 If they ask again: 「What is their truth?」 you should answer thus: 「Their truth is liberation.」 If they ask again: 「What is their end?」 you should answer thus: 「Their end is Nirvana.」』

「習出家學道心,習無常想,習無常苦想,習苦無我想,習不凈想,習惡食想,習一切世間不可樂想,習死想。知世間好惡,習如是想心。知世間習有,習如是想心。知世間習、滅、味、患、出要如真,習如是想心。若比丘得習出家學道心者,得習無常想,得習無常苦想,得習苦無我想,得習不凈想,得習惡食想,得習一切世間不可樂想,得習死想。知世間好惡,得習如是想心。知世間習有,得習如是想心。知世間習、滅、味、患、出要如真,得習如是想心者,是謂比丘斷愛除結,正知正觀諸法已,便得苦邊。」

現代漢語譯本:『是為,比丘!』,意思是說,欲是諸法的根本,更樂是諸法的和合,覺是諸法的來處,思想是諸法的存在,念是諸法的主宰,定是諸法的前導,慧是諸法的上首,解脫是諸法的真實,涅槃是諸法的終結。因此,比丘應當這樣學習。 『修習出家學道之心,修習無常之想,修習無常苦之想,修習苦無我之想,修習不凈之想,修習惡食之想,修習一切世間不可樂之想,修習死亡之想。』了知世間的好與壞,修習這樣的想法。了知世間的習性,修習這樣的想法。如實了知世間的習性、滅、味、患、出離之道,修習這樣的想法。如果比丘能夠修習出家學道之心,能夠修習無常之想,能夠修習無常苦之想,能夠修習苦無我之想,能夠修習不凈之想,能夠修習惡食之想,能夠修習一切世間不可樂之想,能夠修習死亡之想。了知世間的好與壞,能夠修習這樣的想法。了知世間的習性,能夠修習這樣的想法。如實了知世間的習性、滅、味、患、出離之道,能夠修習這樣的想法,這樣的比丘就能夠斷除愛慾,去除煩惱,正確地認知和觀察諸法,從而達到苦的盡頭。」 《諸法本經》第七結束(四百五十七字) (一一四)《中阿含林品優陀羅經》第八(第二小土城誦) 當時,世尊告訴諸比丘:『優陀羅羅摩子,他在眾人之中,常常這樣說:『在此生中,觀察此,覺知此,不知癰的根本,然後才完全知道癰的根本。』優陀羅羅摩子沒有一切智,卻自稱一切智,實際上沒有覺悟,卻自稱有覺悟。
English version: 'It is, monks!' meaning that desire is the root of all things, pleasure is the union of all things, awareness is the origin of all things, thought is the existence of all things, mindfulness is the master of all things, concentration is the precursor of all things, wisdom is the supreme of all things, liberation is the truth of all things, and Nirvana is the end of all things. Therefore, monks, you should learn in this way. 'Practice the mind of renunciation and the path, practice the perception of impermanence, practice the perception of suffering due to impermanence, practice the perception of no-self in suffering, practice the perception of impurity, practice the perception of loathsome food, practice the perception of the unloveliness of all the world, practice the perception of death.' Knowing the good and bad of the world, practice such thoughts. Knowing the habits of the world, practice such thoughts. Truly knowing the habits, cessation, taste, danger, and escape of the world, practice such thoughts. If a monk can practice the mind of renunciation and the path, can practice the perception of impermanence, can practice the perception of suffering due to impermanence, can practice the perception of no-self in suffering, can practice the perception of impurity, can practice the perception of loathsome food, can practice the perception of the unloveliness of all the world, can practice the perception of death. Knowing the good and bad of the world, can practice such thoughts. Knowing the habits of the world, can practice such thoughts. Truly knowing the habits, cessation, taste, danger, and escape of the world, can practice such thoughts, then this monk can cut off desire, remove fetters, correctly know and observe all things, and thus reach the end of suffering. The seventh discourse, 'The Root of All Things,' ends (457 words). (114) The eighth discourse, 'Uddalaka,' from the 'Middle Length Discourses, Forest Section' (Second Small Earth City Recitation) Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'Uddalaka Ramaputta, among the assembly, often says this: 'In this life, observing this, knowing this, not knowing the root of the boil, and then fully knowing the root of the boil.' Uddalaka Ramaputta does not have all-knowing wisdom, yet claims to have all-knowing wisdom; in reality, he has no awakening, yet claims to have awakening.'
。優陀羅羅摩子如是見、如是說,有者,是病、是癰、是刺;設無想者,是愚癡也;若有所覺,是止息、是最妙,謂乃至非有想非無想處。彼自樂身,自受于身,自著身已,修習乃至非有想非無想處,身壞命終,生非有想非無想天中,彼壽盡已,復來此間,生於貍中。此比丘正說者,於此生中,觀此覺此,不知癰本,然後具知癰本。
「云何比丘正觀耶?比丘者,知六更觸,知習、知滅、知味、知患、知出要,以慧知如真,是謂比丘正觀也。云何比丘覺,比丘者,知三覺,知習、知滅、知味、知患、知出要,以慧知如真,是謂比丘覺。云何比丘不知癰本,然後具知癰本?比丘者,知有愛滅,拔其根本,至竟不復生,是謂比丘不知癰本,然後具知癰本。癰者,謂此身也。色粗四大,從父母生,飲食長養,衣被按摩,澡浴強忍,是無常法、壞法、散法,是謂癰也。癰本者,謂三愛也。欲愛、色愛、無色愛,是謂癰本。癰一切漏者,謂六更觸處也。眼漏視色,耳漏聞聲,鼻漏嗅香,舌漏嘗味,身漏覺觸,意漏知諸法,是謂癰一切漏。
「比丘!我已為汝說癰、說癰本,如尊師所為弟子起大慈哀,憐念愍傷,求義及饒益,求安隱快樂者,我今已作
現代漢語譯本:優陀羅羅摩子是這樣認為、這樣說的:『有』,是病、是癰、是刺;如果『無想』,那就是愚癡;如果『有所覺』,那就是止息、是最妙的,指的是達到非有想非無想的境界。他自己貪戀身體,自己感受身體,自己執著于身體,然後修習到非有想非無想的境界,身體壞滅、生命終結后,就生到非有想非無想天中。他的壽命結束后,又會回到這個世間,投生為貍。這位比丘如果說得正確,他會在這一生中觀察到、覺悟到這些,他一開始不知道癰的根源,然後才完全知道癰的根源。 『比丘如何正確地觀察呢?』比丘知道六種接觸,知道它們的習性、滅亡、滋味、禍患、以及解脫之道,用智慧如實地瞭解,這就是比丘的正確觀察。『比丘如何覺悟呢?』比丘知道三種感受,知道它們的習性、滅亡、滋味、禍患、以及解脫之道,用智慧如實地瞭解,這就是比丘的覺悟。『比丘如何一開始不知道癰的根源,然後才完全知道癰的根源呢?』比丘知道愛慾的滅亡,拔除它的根本,最終不再產生,這就是比丘一開始不知道癰的根源,然後才完全知道癰的根源。癰,指的是這個身體。顏色、粗大的四大元素,從父母那裡出生,通過飲食滋養,衣物遮蔽,洗澡忍受,是無常的、會壞滅的、會消散的,這就是癰。癰的根源,指的是三種愛慾。欲愛、色愛、無色愛,這就是癰的根源。癰的一切漏,指的是六種接觸之處。眼睛漏看顏色,耳朵漏聽聲音,鼻子漏聞氣味,舌頭漏嘗味道,身體漏覺觸感,意識漏知諸法,這就是癰的一切漏。 『比丘!我已經為你們說了癰,說了癰的根源,就像尊敬的老師為弟子們生起大慈悲心,憐憫傷痛,尋求正義和利益,尋求安穩快樂一樣,我現在已經做了。』
English version: 'Uddaka Ramaputta viewed and spoke thus: 『Existence』 is a disease, a boil, a thorn; if there is 『no perception,』 that is foolishness; if there is 『some perception,』 that is cessation, the most excellent, referring to the state of neither perception nor non-perception. He delights in his body, experiences his body, clings to his body, and then cultivates the state of neither perception nor non-perception. When his body breaks down and his life ends, he is reborn in the heaven of neither perception nor non-perception. When his lifespan there is exhausted, he returns to this world and is born as a jackal. If this bhikkhu speaks correctly, he will observe and realize this in this very life. He initially does not know the origin of the boil, and then he fully knows the origin of the boil.' 'How does a bhikkhu observe correctly?' A bhikkhu knows the six contacts, knows their arising, their cessation, their gratification, their danger, and the escape from them, and understands them with wisdom as they truly are. This is a bhikkhu's correct observation. 'How does a bhikkhu realize?' A bhikkhu knows the three feelings, knows their arising, their cessation, their gratification, their danger, and the escape from them, and understands them with wisdom as they truly are. This is a bhikkhu's realization. 'How does a bhikkhu initially not know the origin of the boil, and then fully know the origin of the boil?' A bhikkhu knows the cessation of craving, uproots its root, and it will never arise again. This is how a bhikkhu initially does not know the origin of the boil, and then fully knows the origin of the boil. The boil refers to this body. The color, the coarse four great elements, born from parents, nourished by food, covered by clothing, and endured by bathing, are impermanent, subject to decay, and subject to dissolution. This is the boil. The origin of the boil refers to the three cravings: craving for sensual pleasures, craving for existence, and craving for non-existence. This is the origin of the boil. All the outflows of the boil refer to the six places of contact. The eye leaks by seeing forms, the ear leaks by hearing sounds, the nose leaks by smelling odors, the tongue leaks by tasting flavors, the body leaks by feeling touches, and the mind leaks by knowing phenomena. These are all the outflows of the boil.' 'Bhikkhus! I have told you about the boil and the origin of the boil, just as a respected teacher has great compassion for his disciples, feeling pity and sorrow, seeking righteousness and benefit, seeking peace and happiness. I have now done this.'
。汝等亦當復自作,至無事處、山林樹下、空安靜處,燕坐思惟,勿得放逸,勤加精進,莫令後悔。此是我之教敕,是我訓誨。」
優陀羅經第八竟(五百一十四字)
(一一五)中阿含林品蜜丸喻經第九(第二小土城誦)
一時,佛游釋羈瘦,在迦維羅衛。
爾時,世尊過夜平旦,著衣持缽,為乞食故,入迦維羅衛。食訖,中后收舉衣缽,澡洗手足,以尼師壇著于肩上,往詣竹林釋迦寺中,入彼大林,至一樹下敷尼師檀,結加趺坐。
於是,執杖釋拄杖而行,中后彷徉,往詣佛所,共相問訊,拄杖立佛前,問世尊曰:「沙門瞿曇!以何為宗本?說何等法?」
世尊答曰:「釋!若一切世間,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,使不鬥諍,修習離欲清凈梵志,舍離諂曲,除悔,不著有、非有,亦無想,是我宗本;說亦如是。」
於是,執杖釋聞佛所說,不是不非,執杖釋奮頭而去。
於是,世尊執杖釋去後不久,則于晡時,從燕坐起,往詣講堂,比丘眾前敷座而坐,告諸比丘:「我今平旦著衣持缽,為乞食故,入迦維羅衛
你們也應當自己這樣做,到無事的地方、山林樹下、空曠安靜之處,靜坐思惟,不要放縱懈怠,勤奮精進,不要讓自己後悔。這是我的教誨,是我的訓誡。 《優陀羅經》第八完(五百一十四字) (一一五)《中阿含林品蜜丸喻經》第九(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在釋迦族居住的羈瘦,位於迦維羅衛。 那時,世尊過夜后清晨,穿好衣服,拿著缽,爲了乞食,進入迦維羅衛。吃完飯後,中午收起衣缽,洗手洗腳,把尼師壇搭在肩上,前往竹林釋迦寺中,進入那片大樹林,到一棵樹下鋪好尼師壇,結跏趺坐。 這時,執杖釋拄著枴杖行走,中午時分徘徊,前往佛陀所在之處,互相問候,拄著枴杖站在佛前,問世尊說:『沙門瞿曇!以什麼為根本宗旨?宣說的是什麼法?』 世尊回答說:『釋!如果一切世間,天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門,從人到天,都能不再爭鬥,修習離欲清凈的梵行,捨棄諂媚虛偽,消除悔恨,不執著于有或非有,也沒有任何想法,這就是我的根本宗旨;我所說的法也是這樣。』 這時,執杖釋聽了佛陀所說,既不肯定也不否定,執杖釋甩頭離開了。 這時,世尊在執杖釋離開后不久,到了傍晚時分,從靜坐中起身,前往講堂,在比丘眾前鋪好座位坐下,告訴眾比丘:『我今天清晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,爲了乞食,進入迦維羅衛』
You should also do this yourselves, go to places where there is nothing to do, under the trees in the mountains and forests, in empty and quiet places, sit in meditation and contemplate, do not be lax and negligent, diligently strive forward, and do not let yourselves regret it. This is my teaching, this is my instruction. The Buddha spoke thus. Those monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully followed it. The eighth Udara Sutra ends (514 words) (115) The ninth Madhupindika Sutta of the Middle Length Discourses, Forest Section (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Sakyan territory, at Kapilavatthu. Then, the Blessed One, having spent the night, in the morning, dressed, took his bowl, and for alms, entered Kapilavatthu. Having eaten, after the meal, he put away his bowl and robe, washed his hands and feet, placed his sitting cloth on his shoulder, and went to the Bamboo Grove Sakya Temple, entered that great forest, and under a tree, spread out his sitting cloth, and sat down cross-legged. Then, the Sakyan with a staff, walking with a staff, wandering about in the afternoon, went to where the Buddha was, exchanged greetings, stood before the Buddha with his staff, and asked the Blessed One: 'Venerable Gotama! What is your fundamental principle? What kind of Dharma do you teach?' The Blessed One replied: 'Sakya! If all the world, gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, and Brahmins, from humans to gods, could cease fighting, practice the pure Brahma-faring of detachment, abandon deceit and hypocrisy, eliminate remorse, not be attached to existence or non-existence, and have no thoughts, this is my fundamental principle; and this is also what I teach.' Then, the Sakyan with a staff, having heard what the Buddha said, neither affirmed nor denied it, and the Sakyan with a staff shook his head and left. Then, the Blessed One, not long after the Sakyan with a staff had left, in the evening, arose from his meditation, went to the lecture hall, spread out a seat before the assembly of monks, and sat down, and told the monks: 'This morning, I dressed, took my bowl, and for alms, entered Kapilavatthu'
。食訖,中后收舉衣缽,澡洗手足,以尼師檀著于肩上,往詣竹林釋迦寺中,入彼大林,至一樹下敷尼師檀,結跏趺坐。於是,執杖釋拄杖而行,中后彷徉,來詣我所,共相問訊,拄杖立我前,問我曰:『沙門瞿曇!以何為宗本?說何等法?』我答曰:『釋!若一切世間,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,使不鬥諍,修習離欲清凈梵志,舍離諂曲,除悔,不著有、非有,亦無想,是我宗本;說亦如是。』彼執杖釋聞我所說,不是不非,執杖釋奮頭而去。」
於是,有一比丘即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!云何一切世間,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,使不鬥諍?云何修習離欲,得清凈梵志?云何舍離諂曲,除悔,不著有、非有,亦無想耶?」
世尊告曰:「比丘!若人所因念,出家學道,思想修習,及過去、未來、今現在法,不愛、不樂、不著、不住,是說苦邊欲使,恚使、有使、慢使、無明使、見使、疑使、斗諍、憎嫉、諛諂、欺誑、妄言、兩舌及無量惡不善之法,是說苦邊。」
佛說如是,即從坐起,入室燕坐。
於是,諸比丘便作是念:「諸賢!當知世尊略說此義,不廣分別,即從坐起,入室燕坐
現代漢語譯本:吃完飯後,中午過後,他們收拾好衣缽,洗凈手腳,把尼師檀搭在肩上,前往竹林釋迦寺。進入那片大樹林,在一棵樹下鋪開尼師檀,結跏趺坐。這時,執杖釋拄著枴杖走來,中午過後徘徊,來到我這裡,互相問候。他把枴杖立在我面前,問我:『沙門瞿曇!你以什麼為根本宗旨?宣說的是什麼法?』我回答說:『釋!如果能使一切世間,包括天、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門,從人到天,都不爭鬥,修習離欲的清凈梵行,捨棄諂媚虛偽,消除悔恨,不執著于有和非有,也沒有任何想法,這就是我的根本宗旨;我所宣說的法也是如此。』執杖釋聽了我的話,既不肯定也不否定,就甩頭離開了。 這時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,偏袒著衣,合掌向佛,說道:『世尊!如何才能使一切世間,包括天、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門,從人到天,都不爭鬥?如何修習離欲,才能得到清凈的梵行?如何才能捨棄諂媚虛偽,消除悔恨,不執著于有和非有,也沒有任何想法呢?』 世尊告訴他說:『比丘!如果一個人因為某種原因而出家學道,對於思想的修習,以及過去、未來、現在的一切法,都不愛、不樂、不執著、不住留,這就是說苦的邊際。這樣就能使貪慾的煩惱、嗔恚的煩惱、存在的煩惱、驕慢的煩惱、無明的煩惱、見解的煩惱、疑惑的煩惱、爭鬥、憎恨、諂媚、欺騙、妄語、兩舌以及無數的惡不善之法都得以止息,這就是說苦的邊際。』 佛說完這些話,就從座位上站起來,回到自己的房間靜坐。 這時,眾比丘便這樣想:『各位賢者!應當知道世尊只是簡略地說了這個道理,沒有詳細地分別解釋,就從座位上站起來,回到自己的房間靜坐了。』
English version: After finishing their meal, in the afternoon, they gathered their robes and bowls, washed their hands and feet, placed the nisidana on their shoulders, and went to the Bamboo Grove Śākyamuni Temple. Entering that large forest, they spread out the nisidana under a tree and sat in the lotus position. At that time, the staff-wielding Śākya came, wandering around in the afternoon, and approached me. We exchanged greetings. He placed his staff in front of me and asked, 『Śramaṇa Gautama! What is your fundamental principle? What Dharma do you preach?』 I replied, 『Śākya! If all the world, including gods, demons, Brahmās, śramaṇas, and brahmins, from humans to gods, could be made to not fight, to cultivate pure brahmacarya free from desire, to abandon flattery and deceit, to eliminate remorse, to not be attached to existence or non-existence, and to have no thoughts, that is my fundamental principle; and that is what I preach.』 The staff-wielding Śākya, upon hearing what I said, neither affirmed nor denied it, and shook his head and left. Then, a certain bhikkhu rose from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, clasped his hands towards the Buddha, and said, 『Venerable One! How can all the world, including gods, demons, Brahmās, śramaṇas, and brahmins, from humans to gods, be made to not fight? How can one cultivate freedom from desire and attain pure brahmacarya? How can one abandon flattery and deceit, eliminate remorse, not be attached to existence or non-existence, and have no thoughts?』 The World-Honored One replied, 『Bhikkhu! If a person, for some reason, leaves home to study the Way, and regarding the cultivation of thoughts, and all phenomena of the past, future, and present, does not love, does not delight in, does not cling to, and does not dwell on them, that is said to be the end of suffering. Thus, the defilements of craving, the defilements of hatred, the defilements of existence, the defilements of pride, the defilements of ignorance, the defilements of views, the defilements of doubt, fighting, hatred, flattery, deception, false speech, divisive speech, and countless evil and unwholesome phenomena are said to be the end of suffering.』 Having spoken thus, the Buddha rose from his seat and entered his chamber to meditate. Then, the bhikkhus thought, 『Friends! It should be known that the World-Honored One has only briefly spoken of this meaning, without explaining it in detail, and has risen from his seat and entered his chamber to meditate.』
。『若人所因念,出家學道,思想修習,及過去、未來、今現在法,不愛、不樂、不著、不住,是說苦邊。欲使、恚使、有使、慢使、無明使、見使、疑使、斗諍、憎嫉、諛諂、欺誑、妄言、兩舌及無量惡不善之法,是說苦邊。』」彼復作是念:「諸賢!誰能廣分別世尊向所略說義?」彼復作是念:「尊者大迦旃延常為世尊之所稱譽,及諸智梵行人,尊者大迦旃延能廣分別世尊向所略說義。諸賢!共往詣尊者大迦旃延所,請說此義;若尊者大迦旃延為分別者,我等當善受持。」
於是,諸比丘往詣尊者大迦旃延所,共相問訊,卻坐一面,白曰:「尊者大迦旃延!當知世尊略說此義,不廣分別。即從坐起,入室燕坐。『比丘!若人所因念,出家學道,思想修習,及過去、未來、今現在法,不愛、不樂、不著、不住,是說苦邊。欲使、恚使、有使、慢使、無明使、見使、疑使、斗諍、憎嫉、諛諂、欺誑、妄言、兩舌及無量惡不善之法,是說苦邊。』我等便作是念:『諸賢!誰能廣分別世尊向所略說義?』我等復作是念:『尊者大迦旃延常為世尊之所稱譽,及諸智梵行人,尊者大迦旃延能廣分別世尊向所略說義。』唯愿尊者大迦旃延為慈愍故而廣說之
現代漢語譯本:『如果有人因為某種念頭而出家學道,思考修習,對於過去、未來、現在的法,不愛、不樂、不執著、不住留,這就是說苦的邊際。慾望的驅使、嗔恨的驅使、存在的驅使、傲慢的驅使、無明的驅使、見解的驅使、疑惑的驅使、爭鬥、憎恨、嫉妒、諂媚、欺騙、謊言、兩舌以及無量惡不善之法,這就是說苦的邊際。』他們又這樣想:『各位賢者!誰能詳細解釋世尊剛才簡略說的含義呢?』他們又這樣想:『尊者大迦旃延常常受到世尊的稱讚,以及其他有智慧的修行者,尊者大迦旃延能夠詳細解釋世尊剛才簡略說的含義。各位賢者!我們一起去拜訪尊者大迦旃延,請他解釋這個含義;如果尊者大迦旃延能夠解釋,我們應當好好接受並奉行。』 於是,這些比丘前往拜訪尊者大迦旃延,互相問候之後,坐在一旁,說道:『尊者大迦旃延!您應該知道世尊簡略地說了這個含義,沒有詳細解釋。他從座位起身,進入房間靜坐。』比丘們!如果有人因為某種念頭而出家學道,思考修習,對於過去、未來、現在的法,不愛、不樂、不執著、不住留,這就是說苦的邊際。慾望的驅使、嗔恨的驅使、存在的驅使、傲慢的驅使、無明的驅使、見解的驅使、疑惑的驅使、爭鬥、憎恨、嫉妒、諂媚、欺騙、謊言、兩舌以及無量惡不善之法,這就是說苦的邊際。』我們便這樣想:『各位賢者!誰能詳細解釋世尊剛才簡略說的含義呢?』我們又這樣想:『尊者大迦旃延常常受到世尊的稱讚,以及其他有智慧的修行者,尊者大迦旃延能夠詳細解釋世尊剛才簡略說的含義。』唯愿尊者大迦旃延爲了慈悲的緣故而詳細解釋它。
English version: 'If a person, due to some thought, leaves home to study the Way, contemplates and practices, and towards the past, future, and present dharmas, does not love, does not delight, does not cling, and does not dwell, this is said to be the end of suffering. The drives of desire, the drives of hatred, the drives of existence, the drives of arrogance, the drives of ignorance, the drives of views, the drives of doubt, conflict, hatred, jealousy, flattery, deception, lies, double-tongue, and countless evil and unwholesome dharmas, this is said to be the end of suffering.' They further thought, 'Friends, who can extensively explain the meaning of what the World Honored One has just briefly spoken?' They further thought, 'Venerable Mahakatyayana is often praised by the World Honored One, as well as by other wise Brahmacaris; Venerable Mahakatyayana can extensively explain the meaning of what the World Honored One has just briefly spoken. Friends, let us go together to Venerable Mahakatyayana and ask him to explain this meaning; if Venerable Mahakatyayana can explain it, we should receive and uphold it well.' Then, these monks went to Venerable Mahakatyayana, greeted each other, and sat to one side, saying, 'Venerable Mahakatyayana! You should know that the World Honored One briefly spoke this meaning, without explaining it in detail. He rose from his seat and entered his room to sit in meditation. 'Monks! If a person, due to some thought, leaves home to study the Way, contemplates and practices, and towards the past, future, and present dharmas, does not love, does not delight, does not cling, and does not dwell, this is said to be the end of suffering. The drives of desire, the drives of hatred, the drives of existence, the drives of arrogance, the drives of ignorance, the drives of views, the drives of doubt, conflict, hatred, jealousy, flattery, deception, lies, double-tongue, and countless evil and unwholesome dharmas, this is said to be the end of suffering.' We then thought, 'Friends, who can extensively explain the meaning of what the World Honored One has just briefly spoken?' We further thought, 'Venerable Mahakatyayana is often praised by the World Honored One, as well as by other wise Brahmacaris; Venerable Mahakatyayana can extensively explain the meaning of what the World Honored One has just briefly spoken.' We beseech Venerable Mahakatyayana to explain it in detail out of compassion.'
爾時,尊者大迦旃延告曰:「諸賢!聽我說喻,慧者聞喻則解其義。諸賢!猶如有人慾得求實,為求實故,持斧入林,彼見大樹成根、莖、節、枝、葉、華、實,彼人不觸根、莖、節、實,但觸枝、葉。諸賢所說亦復如是,世尊現在,舍來就我而問此義。所以者何?諸賢!當知世尊是眼、是智、是義、是法、法主、法將,說真諦義,現一切義由彼世尊。諸賢應往詣世尊所而問此義:『世尊!此云何?此何義?』如世尊說者,諸賢等當善受持。」
時,諸比丘白曰:「唯然。尊者大迦旃延!世尊是眼、是智、是義、是法、法主、法將,說真諦義,現一切義由彼世尊,我等應往詣世尊所而問此義:『世尊!此云何?此何義?』如世尊說者,我等當善受持。然,尊者大迦旃延常為世尊之所稱譽,及諸智梵行人,尊者大迦旃延能廣分別世尊向所略說義,唯愿尊者大迦旃延為慈愍故而廣說之。」
尊者大迦旃延告諸比丘:「諸賢等共聽我所說。諸賢!緣眼及色,生眼識,三事共會,便有更觸,緣更觸便有所覺,若所覺便想,若所想便思,若所思便念,若所念便分別。比丘者因是念出家學道,思想修習,此中過去、未來、今現在法,不愛、不樂、不著、不住,是說苦邊
當時,尊者大迦旃延說道:『各位賢者!請聽我說個比喻,有智慧的人聽了比喻就能理解其中的含義。各位賢者!就像有個人想要尋求真實,爲了尋求真實,拿著斧頭進入森林,他看到一棵大樹有根、莖、節、枝、葉、花、果實,這個人不碰根、莖、節、果實,只碰枝、葉。各位賢者,你們所說的也像這樣,世尊現在就在這裡,你們捨棄他來問我這個道理。這是為什麼呢?各位賢者!你們應當知道世尊是眼睛、是智慧、是真理、是法則、是法則的主人、是法則的引導者,宣說真諦的含義,一切真理都由世尊顯現。各位賢者應該去到世尊那裡問這個道理:『世尊!這是什麼?這是什麼意思?』如果世尊說了,各位賢者應當好好接受並奉行。』 當時,眾比丘回答說:『是的,尊者大迦旃延!世尊是眼睛、是智慧、是真理、是法則、是法則的主人、是法則的引導者,宣說真諦的含義,一切真理都由世尊顯現,我們應該去到世尊那裡問這個道理:『世尊!這是什麼?這是什麼意思?』如果世尊說了,我們應當好好接受並奉行。然而,尊者大迦旃延常常受到世尊以及其他有智慧的修行者的讚譽,尊者大迦旃延能夠詳細解釋世尊先前略說的含義,希望尊者大迦旃延爲了慈悲的緣故詳細地解說。』 尊者大迦旃延告訴眾比丘:『各位賢者,請一起聽我說。各位賢者!因眼和色,產生眼識,三者相會,便有接觸,因接觸便有所感覺,若有所感覺便會想,若有所想便會思考,若有所思考便會念頭,若有所念頭便會分別。比丘因此念而出家學道,思想修習,對於過去、未來、現在之法,不愛、不樂、不執著、不住留,這就是說苦的終結。』
At that time, the venerable Mahākātyāyana said: 'Friends! Listen to my parable, and the wise will understand its meaning. Friends! It is like a person who desires to seek the truth, and for the sake of seeking the truth, takes an axe and enters the forest. He sees a large tree with roots, trunk, nodes, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits. This person does not touch the roots, trunk, nodes, or fruits, but only touches the branches and leaves. Friends, what you have said is also like this. The World-Honored One is present, and you abandon him to come and ask me about this meaning. Why is this? Friends! You should know that the World-Honored One is the eye, the wisdom, the meaning, the Dharma, the master of the Dharma, the guide of the Dharma, who speaks the meaning of the true Dharma, and all meanings are revealed by the World-Honored One. Friends, you should go to the World-Honored One and ask about this meaning: 『World-Honored One! What is this? What is its meaning?』 If the World-Honored One speaks, you should all receive and uphold it well.' At that time, the monks replied: 'Yes, venerable Mahākātyāyana! The World-Honored One is the eye, the wisdom, the meaning, the Dharma, the master of the Dharma, the guide of the Dharma, who speaks the meaning of the true Dharma, and all meanings are revealed by the World-Honored One. We should go to the World-Honored One and ask about this meaning: 『World-Honored One! What is this? What is its meaning?』 If the World-Honored One speaks, we should receive and uphold it well. However, venerable Mahākātyāyana is often praised by the World-Honored One and other wise practitioners. Venerable Mahākātyāyana is able to explain in detail the meaning that the World-Honored One previously spoke briefly. We hope that venerable Mahākātyāyana will explain it in detail out of compassion.' The venerable Mahākātyāyana told the monks: 'Friends, listen together to what I say. Friends! Due to the eye and form, eye consciousness arises. When these three meet, there is contact. Due to contact, there is feeling. If there is feeling, there is thought. If there is thought, there is consideration. If there is consideration, there is a notion. If there is a notion, there is discrimination. A monk, because of this notion, leaves home to study the Way, contemplates and practices. Regarding the past, future, and present dharmas, he does not love, does not delight, does not cling, and does not abide. This is said to be the end of suffering.'

English version: The compulsions of desire, the compulsions of hatred, the compulsions of existence, the compulsions of pride, the compulsions of ignorance, the compulsions of wrong views, the compulsions of doubt, conflict, hatred, jealousy, flattery, deception, lies, double-tongued speech, and countless evil and unwholesome dharmas, these are said to be the realm of suffering. Just like this, when the ear, nose, tongue, and body come into contact with the mind and dharmas, consciousness arises. When these three meet, there is further contact. Because of further contact, there is feeling. With feeling, there is thought. With thought, there is consideration. With consideration, there is recollection. With recollection, there is discrimination. A bhikkhu, because of this thought, leaves home to study the Way, contemplating and practicing. Regarding the past, future, and present dharmas, not loving, not enjoying, not clinging, not dwelling, this is said to be the end of suffering. The compulsions of desire, the compulsions of hatred, the compulsions of existence, the compulsions of pride, the compulsions of ignorance, the compulsions of wrong views, the compulsions of doubt, conflict, hatred, jealousy, flattery, deception, lies, double-tongued speech, and countless evil and unwholesome dharmas, these are said to be the realm of suffering. Venerable ones! If a bhikkhu removes the eye, removes form, and removes eye-consciousness, yet says there is further contact, this is not possible. If further contact is not established, yet says there is feeling, this is not possible. If feeling is not established, yet says there is recollection, leaving home to study the Way, contemplating and practicing, this is not possible. Just like this, with the ear, nose, tongue, and body, if the mind, dharmas, and consciousness are removed, yet it is said there is further contact, this is not possible. If further contact is not established, yet it is said there is feeling, this is not possible. If feeling is not established, yet it is said there is recollection, leaving home to study the Way, contemplating and practicing, this is not possible. Venerable ones! If a bhikkhu, because of the eye, because of form, and because of eye-consciousness, has further contact, this is certainly the case. Because further contact is established, there is feeling, this is certainly the case. Because feeling is established, there is recollection, leaving home to study the Way, contemplating and practicing, this is certainly the case. Just like this, with the ear, nose, tongue, and body, if because of the mind, because of dharmas, and because of consciousness, there is further contact, this is certainly the case.
。因施設更觸,有覺施設覺者,必有此處。因施設覺,有施設念、出家學道、思想修習者,必有此處。諸賢!謂世尊略說此義,不廣分別,即從坐起,入室燕坐。『比丘!若人所因念,出家學道,思想修習,及過去、未來、今現在法,不愛、不樂、不著、不住,是說苦邊。欲使、恚使、有使、慢使、無明使、見使、疑使、斗諍、憎嫉、諛諂、欺誑、妄言、兩舌及無量惡不善之法,是說苦邊。』此世尊略說不廣分別義,我以此句、以此文廣說如是。諸賢!可往向佛具陳,若如世尊所說義者,諸賢等便可受持。」
於是,諸比丘聞尊者大迦旃延所說,善受持誦,即從坐起,繞尊者大迦旃延三匝而去,往詣佛所,稽首作禮,卻坐一面,白曰:「世尊!向世尊略說此義,不廣分別,即從坐起,入室宴坐;尊者大迦旃延以此句、以此文而廣說之。」
世尊聞已,嘆曰:「善哉!善哉!我弟子中有眼、有智、有法、有義。所以者何?謂師為弟子略說此義,不廣分別,彼弟子以此句、以此文而廣說之。如迦旃延比丘所說,汝等應當如是受持。所以者何?以說觀義,應如是也
"現代漢語譯本:因為設施的更迭觸動,有感覺設施和感覺者,必定有這個地方。因為設施的感覺,有設施的念頭、出家學道、思想修習的人,必定有這個地方。諸位賢者!世尊只是簡略地說這個道理,沒有詳細分別,就從座位起身,進入房間靜坐。『比丘們!如果有人因爲念頭,出家學道,思想修習,以及過去、未來、現在的一切法,不愛、不樂、不執著、不住留,這就是說苦的邊際。想要使、嗔恚使、有使、慢使、無明使、見使、疑使、鬥爭、憎恨嫉妒、諂媚、欺騙、妄語、兩舌以及無量惡不善的法,這就是說苦的邊際。』世尊簡略地說,沒有詳細分別的道理,我用這句話、這段文字來詳細解釋。諸位賢者!可以去向佛陀陳述,如果和世尊所說的道理一樣,諸位就可以接受並奉行。」, "於是,眾比丘聽了尊者大迦旃延所說,很好地接受並背誦,就從座位起身,圍繞尊者大迦旃延三圈后離開,前往佛陀所在的地方,頂禮叩拜,退坐在一旁,稟告說:『世尊!之前世尊簡略地說這個道理,沒有詳細分別,就從座位起身,進入房間靜坐;尊者大迦旃延用這句話、這段文字來詳細解釋。』", "世尊聽了之後,讚歎說:『好啊!好啊!我的弟子中有眼光、有智慧、懂得佛法、懂得義理。為什麼呢?因為老師為弟子簡略地說這個道理,沒有詳細分別,弟子就用這句話、這段文字來詳細解釋。就像迦旃延比丘所說的那樣,你們應當這樣接受並奉行。為什麼呢?因為說觀的道理,就應該是這樣。』" "English version: Because of the change of establishment, there is a sense of establishment and a perceiver, there must be this place. Because of the sense of establishment, there are those who establish thoughts, leave home to study the Way, and practice contemplation, there must be this place. Venerable ones! The World Honored One briefly stated this meaning, without elaborating, and then rose from his seat and entered his chamber to sit in meditation. 'Monks! If a person, because of thoughts, leaves home to study the Way, practices contemplation, and does not love, does not delight in, does not cling to, and does not dwell on the past, future, and present dharmas, this is said to be the end of suffering. The desire-making, anger-making, existence-making, pride-making, ignorance-making, view-making, doubt-making, conflict, hatred, jealousy, flattery, deception, false speech, double-tongue, and countless evil and unwholesome dharmas, this is said to be the end of suffering.' The World Honored One briefly stated this meaning without elaborating, and I have explained it in detail with this sentence and this text. Venerable ones! You can go and report to the Buddha, and if it is the same as the meaning spoken by the World Honored One, then you can accept and uphold it.", "Then, the monks, having heard what the Venerable Maha Katyayana had said, accepted and recited it well, and then rose from their seats, circumambulated the Venerable Maha Katyayana three times, and departed, going to the place where the Buddha was. They bowed their heads in reverence, sat down to one side, and reported: 'World Honored One! Earlier, the World Honored One briefly stated this meaning, without elaborating, and then rose from his seat and entered his chamber to sit in meditation; the Venerable Maha Katyayana has explained it in detail with this sentence and this text.'", "Having heard this, the World Honored One praised, 'Excellent! Excellent! Among my disciples, there are those with vision, wisdom, understanding of the Dharma, and understanding of the meaning. Why is that? Because the teacher briefly stated this meaning to the disciples, without elaborating, and the disciples then explained it in detail with this sentence and this text. Just as the monk Katyayana has said, you should accept and uphold it in this way. Why is that? Because the meaning of contemplation should be spoken in this way.'"
。比丘!猶如有人因行無事處、山林樹間,忽得蜜丸,隨彼所食而得其味,如是族姓子於我此正法、律,隨彼所觀而得其味,觀眼得味,觀耳、鼻、舌、身,觀意得味。」
爾時,尊者阿難執拂侍佛。於是,尊者阿難叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!此法名何等?我當云何奉持?」
世尊告曰:「阿難!此法名為蜜丸喻,汝當受持。」
於是,世尊告諸比丘:「汝等受此蜜丸喻法,當諷誦讀。所以者何?比丘!此蜜丸喻有法有義,梵行之本,趣通趣覺,趣于涅槃。若族姓子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,當善受持此蜜丸喻。」
蜜丸喻經第九竟(二千二百七十二字)
(一一六)中阿含林品瞿曇彌經第十(第二小土城誦)
一時,佛游釋羈瘦,在迦維羅衛尼拘類樹園,與大比丘眾俱受夏坐。
爾時,瞿曇彌大愛往詣佛所,稽首佛足,卻住一面,白曰:「世尊!女人可得第四沙門果耶?因此故,女人於此正法、律中,至信、舍家、無家、學道耶?」
世尊告曰:「止!止!瞿曇彌!汝莫作是念:『女人於此正法、律中,至信、舍家、無家、學道
比丘們!就像有人在荒無人煙的地方、山林樹木之間,偶然得到一個蜜丸,他吃下去後就能嚐到它的味道。同樣的,善男子在我這正法和戒律中,隨著他的觀察就能體會到其中的味道。觀察眼睛能體會到味道,觀察耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體,觀察意念也能體會到味道。 當時,尊者阿難拿著拂塵侍奉佛陀。於是,尊者阿難合掌向佛陀,說道:『世尊!這個法叫什麼名字?我應當如何奉持?』 世尊告訴阿難:『阿難!這個法名為蜜丸譬喻,你應當接受並奉持。』 於是,世尊告訴眾比丘:『你們應當接受這個蜜丸譬喻的法,應當諷誦讀誦。為什麼呢?比丘們!這個蜜丸譬喻有法有義,是梵行的根本,通向覺悟,通向涅槃。如果善男子剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以至誠的信心捨棄家庭,出家修道,應當好好接受並奉持這個蜜丸譬喻。』 佛陀如是說。尊者阿難和眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《蜜丸喻經》第九完(二千二百七十二字) (一一六)《中阿含林品瞿曇彌經》第十(第二小土城誦) 一時,佛陀在釋迦族的羈瘦地方,住在迦毗羅衛的尼拘類樹園,與眾多比丘一起接受夏季安居。 當時,瞿曇彌大愛前往佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,說道:『世尊!女人可以證得第四沙門果嗎?因此,女人可以在這正法和戒律中,以至誠的信心捨棄家庭,出家修道嗎?』 世尊告訴她:『停止!停止!瞿曇彌!你不要這樣想:『女人在這正法和戒律中,以至誠的信心捨棄家庭,出家修道』
Monks! Just as someone, while walking in a desolate place, among forests and trees, might suddenly find a honey cake, and by eating it, they would experience its taste. Similarly, a clansman, in my Dharma and Discipline, by observing, experiences its taste. Observing the eye, one experiences taste; observing the ear, nose, tongue, body, and observing the mind, one experiences taste. At that time, the venerable Ananda was attending to the Buddha, holding a fan. Then, the venerable Ananda, with his palms together, addressed the Buddha, saying: 'Venerable Sir! What is the name of this teaching? How should I uphold it?' The Blessed One said to Ananda: 'Ananda! This teaching is called the Honey Cake Simile; you should receive and uphold it.' Then, the Blessed One said to the monks: 'You should receive this teaching of the Honey Cake Simile, and you should recite and study it. Why is that? Monks! This Honey Cake Simile has both meaning and principle, it is the foundation of the holy life, leading to enlightenment, leading to awakening, leading to Nirvana. If a clansman shaves his hair and beard, puts on the yellow robe, with sincere faith, leaves home, goes forth from the household life into homelessness, and practices the path, he should receive and uphold this Honey Cake Simile well.' Thus spoke the Buddha. The venerable Ananda and the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The Honey Cake Simile Sutra, the ninth, is complete (2272 words). (116) The Tenth Sutra of Gotami in the Middle Agama Forest Section (Second Small Earth City Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the land of the Sakyas, at Kapilavastu, in the Nigrodha Park, together with a large assembly of monks, observing the summer retreat. At that time, Mahaprajapati Gotami went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at his feet, and stood to one side, saying: 'Venerable Sir! Can women attain the fourth stage of a Samana? Therefore, can women, in this Dharma and Discipline, with sincere faith, leave home, go forth from the household life into homelessness, and practice the path?' The Blessed One said: 'Enough! Enough, Gotami! Do not think like this: 'Women, in this Dharma and Discipline, with sincere faith, leave home, go forth from the household life into homelessness, and practice the path.'
。』瞿曇彌!如是汝剃除頭髮,著袈裟衣,盡其形壽,凈修梵行。」
於是,瞿曇彌大愛為佛所制,稽首佛足,繞三匝而去。
爾時,諸比丘為佛治衣,世尊不久于釋羈瘦受夏坐竟,補治衣訖,過三月已,攝衣持缽,當遊人間。瞿曇彌大愛聞諸比丘為佛治衣,世尊不久于釋羈瘦受夏坐竟,補治衣訖,過三月已,攝衣持缽,當遊人間。瞿曇彌大愛聞已,復詣佛所,稽首佛足,卻住一面,白曰:「世尊!女人可得第四沙門果耶?因此故,女人於此正法、律中,至信、舍家、無家、學道耶?」
世尊亦再告曰:「止!止!瞿曇彌!汝莫作是念:『女人於此正法、律中,至信、舍家、無家、學道。』瞿曇彌!如是汝剃除頭髮,著袈裟衣,盡其形壽,凈修梵行。」
於是,瞿曇彌大愛再為佛所制,稽首佛足,繞三匝而去。

現代漢語譯本:『瞿曇彌!就這樣,你剃除頭髮,穿上袈裟,終其一生,清凈地修行梵行。』 於是,瞿曇彌大愛因為佛的教誨而止步,她向佛陀的腳稽首,繞佛三圈后離去。 當時,眾比丘正在為佛陀縫製衣服。世尊不久將在釋迦族羈瘦處結束夏安居,縫補好衣服后,過了三個月,便會收拾衣缽,開始在人間游化。瞿曇彌大愛聽到眾比丘正在為佛陀縫製衣服,世尊不久將在釋迦族羈瘦處結束夏安居,縫補好衣服后,過了三個月,便會收拾衣缽,開始在人間游化。瞿曇彌大愛聽聞后,再次來到佛陀面前,向佛陀的腳稽首,退到一旁,說道:『世尊!女人可以證得第四沙門果嗎?因此,女人可以在這正法和戒律中,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家修行嗎?』 世尊再次告誡說:『停止!停止!瞿曇彌!你不要這樣想:『女人可以在這正法和戒律中,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家修行。』瞿曇彌!就這樣,你剃除頭髮,穿上袈裟,終其一生,清凈地修行梵行。』 於是,瞿曇彌大愛再次因為佛的教誨而止步,她向佛陀的腳稽首,繞佛三圈后離去。 那時,世尊在釋迦族羈瘦處結束夏安居,縫補好衣服后,過了三個月,便收拾衣缽,開始在人間游化。瞿曇彌大愛聽到世尊在釋迦族羈瘦處結束夏安居,縫補好衣服后,過了三個月,便收拾衣缽,開始在人間游化。瞿曇彌大愛便與舍夷的各位老婦人,一同跟隨在佛陀身後,輾轉來到那摩提,住在那裡摩提的揵尼精舍。

Thus, you should shave your head, wear the monastic robes, and for the rest of your life, purely practice the holy life.』 Then, Gotami Mahapajapati, restrained by the Buddha's instruction, bowed her head to the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him three times, and departed. At that time, the monks were preparing robes for the Buddha. The Blessed One would soon conclude his rainy season retreat at the Sakyan settlement of Kimbila, and after mending his robes, after three months, he would gather his robes and bowl, and travel among the people. Gotami Mahapajapati heard that the monks were preparing robes for the Buddha, and that the Blessed One would soon conclude his rainy season retreat at the Sakyan settlement of Kimbila, and after mending his robes, after three months, he would gather his robes and bowl, and travel among the people. Upon hearing this, Gotami Mahapajapati went to the Buddha again, bowed her head to the Buddha's feet, stood to one side, and said: 『Lord, can women attain the fourth stage of sainthood? Therefore, can women, with sincere faith, leave their homes and families to practice the path in this Dharma and discipline?』 The Blessed One again admonished her: 『Stop! Stop! Gotami! Do not think like this: 『Women can, with sincere faith, leave their homes and families to practice the path in this Dharma and discipline.』 Gotami! Thus, you should shave your head, wear the monastic robes, and for the rest of your life, purely practice the holy life.』 Then, Gotami Mahapajapati, again restrained by the Buddha's instruction, bowed her head to the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him three times, and departed.

Gotami Mahapajapati heard that the Blessed One had concluded his rainy season retreat at the Sakyan settlement of Kimbila, and after mending his robes, after three months, he had gathered his robes and bowl, and was traveling among the people. Gotami Mahapajapati, along with the elderly women of the Sakyan clan, followed behind the Buddha, and eventually arrived at Namati, staying at the nunnery in Namati.
。於是,瞿曇彌大愛復詣佛所,稽首佛足,卻住一面,白曰:「世尊!女人可得第四沙門果耶?因此故,女人於此正法、律中,至信、舍家、無家、學道耶?」

於是,瞿曇彌大愛三為世尊所制,稽首佛足,繞三匝而去。
彼時,瞿曇彌大愛涂跣污足,塵土坌體,疲極悲泣,住立門外。尊者阿難見瞿曇彌大愛涂跣污足,塵土坌體,疲極悲泣,住立門外,見已,問曰:「瞿曇彌!以何等故,涂跣污足,塵土坌體,疲極悲泣,住立門外?」
瞿曇彌大愛答曰:「尊者阿難!女人不得於此正法、律中,至信、舍家、無家、學道。」
尊者阿難語曰:「瞿曇彌!今且住此,我往詣佛,白如是事。」
瞿曇彌大愛白曰:「唯然。尊者阿難!」
於是,尊者阿難往詣佛所,稽首佛足,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!女人可得第四沙門果耶?因此故,女人得於此正法、律中,至信、舍家、無家、學道耶?」

English version: Then, Mahapajapati Gotami went again to where the Buddha was, bowed down at his feet, stood to one side, and said: 'Venerable Sir, can women attain the fourth stage of sainthood? Therefore, can women in this Dharma and Discipline, with sincere faith, leave home and go forth into homelessness to practice the path?' The Blessed One said to her three times: 'Stop! Stop! Gotami! Do not think this: 'Women in this Dharma and Discipline, with sincere faith, leave home and go forth into homelessness to practice the path.' Mahapajapati Gotami! You should shave your head, wear the robes, and for the rest of your life, purely practice the holy life.' Then, Mahapajapati Gotami, having been refused three times by the Blessed One, bowed down at his feet, circumambulated him three times, and departed. At that time, Mahapajapati Gotami, with her feet soiled and muddy, her body covered in dust, exhausted and weeping with grief, stood outside the gate. Venerable Ananda saw Mahapajapati Gotami with her feet soiled and muddy, her body covered in dust, exhausted and weeping with grief, standing outside the gate, and having seen her, asked: 'Gotami! Why are you standing outside the gate with your feet soiled and muddy, your body covered in dust, exhausted and weeping with grief?' Mahapajapati Gotami replied: 'Venerable Ananda! Women are not allowed in this Dharma and Discipline, with sincere faith, to leave home and go forth into homelessness to practice the path.' Venerable Ananda said: 'Gotami! Wait here for now, I will go to the Buddha and report this matter.' Mahapajapati Gotami replied: 'Yes, Venerable Ananda!' Then, Venerable Ananda went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at his feet, joined his palms towards the Buddha, and said: 'Venerable Sir, can women attain the fourth stage of sainthood? Therefore, can women in this Dharma and Discipline, with sincere faith, leave home and go forth into homelessness to practice the path?' The Blessed One said: 'Stop! Stop! Ananda! Do not think this: 'Women in this Dharma and Discipline, with sincere faith, leave home and go forth into homelessness to practice the path.'

尊者阿難復白曰:「世尊!瞿曇彌大愛為世尊多所饒益。所以者何?世尊母亡后,瞿曇彌大愛鞠養世尊。」
世尊告曰:「如是,阿難!如是,阿難!瞿曇彌大愛多饒益我,謂母亡后,鞠養於我。阿難!我亦多饒益於瞿曇彌大愛。所以者何?阿難!瞿曇彌大愛因我故,得歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧,不疑三尊及苦、習、滅、道,成就於信,奉持禁戒,修學博聞,成就佈施而得智慧,離殺、斷殺、離不與取、斷不與取,離邪淫、斷邪淫,離妄言、斷妄言,離酒、斷酒
『阿難!如果允許女人在這個正法和戒律中,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家修行,那麼這個清凈的修行就不能長久保持。阿難!就像一個家庭如果女兒多而兒子少,這個家庭會因此而興旺嗎?』 『是的,阿難!如果允許女人在這個正法和戒律中,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家修行,那麼這個清凈的修行就不能長久保持。阿難!就像稻田和麥田中,如果有雜草生長,必定會破壞那片田地。同樣,阿難!如果允許女人在這個正法和戒律中,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家修行,那麼這個清凈的修行就不能長久保持。』 尊者阿難又說:『世尊!喬答彌大愛對世尊有很大的恩惠。為什麼呢?因為世尊的母親去世后,是喬答彌大愛養育了世尊。』 世尊說:『是的,阿難!是的,阿難!喬答彌大愛對我有很大的恩惠,因為母親去世后,是她養育了我。阿難!我也對喬答彌大愛有很大的恩惠。為什麼呢?阿難!喬答彌大愛因為我的緣故,得以皈依佛、皈依法、皈依比丘僧,不再懷疑三寶以及苦、集、滅、道,成就了信心,奉持戒律,修習廣博的知識,成就佈施而獲得智慧,遠離殺生、斷絕殺生,遠離不予而取、斷絕不予而取,遠離邪淫、斷絕邪淫,遠離妄語、斷絕妄語,遠離飲酒、斷絕飲酒。
'Ananda, if women were to obtain in this Dharma and Discipline, with sincere faith, leaving home, going forth from home, and practicing the path, this holy life would not last long. Ananda, just as a household with many daughters and few sons, would that household become prosperous?' Venerable Ananda replied, 'No, Blessed One!' 'So it is, Ananda! If women were to obtain in this Dharma and Discipline, with sincere faith, leaving home, going forth from home, and practicing the path, this holy life would not last long. Ananda, just as in a rice field or wheat field, if weeds grow, they will surely ruin that field. Likewise, Ananda, if women were to obtain in this Dharma and Discipline, with sincere faith, leaving home, going forth from home, and practicing the path, this holy life would not last long.' Venerable Ananda further said, 'Blessed One, Mahapajapati Gotami has been of great benefit to the Blessed One. Why is that? Because after the Blessed One's mother passed away, Mahapajapati Gotami raised the Blessed One.' The Blessed One said, 'So it is, Ananda! So it is, Ananda! Mahapajapati Gotami has been of great benefit to me, for after my mother passed away, she raised me. Ananda, I have also been of great benefit to Mahapajapati Gotami. Why is that? Ananda, because of me, Mahapajapati Gotami has taken refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha of monks, has no doubt about the Three Jewels and suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path, has achieved faith, upholds the precepts, cultivates extensive learning, achieves generosity and gains wisdom, abstains from killing, abandons killing, abstains from taking what is not given, abandons taking what is not given, abstains from sexual misconduct, abandons sexual misconduct, abstains from false speech, abandons false speech, abstains from intoxicants, abandons intoxicants.'
。阿難!若使有人因人故,得歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧,不疑三尊及苦、習、滅、道,成就於信,奉持禁戒,修學博聞,成就佈施而得智慧,離殺、斷殺,離不與取、斷不與取,離邪淫、斷邪淫,離妄言、斷妄言,離酒、斷酒,阿難!設使此人為供養彼人衣被、飲食、臥具、湯藥、諸生活具,至盡形壽,不得報恩。
「阿難!我今為女人施設八尊師法,謂女人不當犯,女人奉持,盡其形壽。阿難!猶如魚師及魚師弟子,深水作塢,為守護水,不令流出。如是,阿難!我今為女人說八尊師法,謂女人不當犯,女人奉持,盡其形壽。云何為八?阿難!比丘尼當從比丘求受具足。阿難!我為女人施設此第一尊師法,謂女人不當犯,女人奉持,盡其形壽。

English version: Ananda! If someone, because of another person, is able to take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha of monks, without doubting the Three Jewels and the Four Noble Truths of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path, and achieves faith, upholds the precepts, studies extensively, achieves generosity and gains wisdom, abstains from killing, ceases killing, abstains from stealing, ceases stealing, abstains from sexual misconduct, ceases sexual misconduct, abstains from false speech, ceases false speech, abstains from intoxicants, ceases intoxicants. Ananda! Even if this person were to provide that person with clothing, food, bedding, medicine, and all necessities of life, until the end of their life, they would not be able to repay their kindness. Ananda! I now establish eight rules of respect for teachers for women, which women should not violate, and which women should uphold until the end of their lives. Ananda! Just as a fisherman and his disciples build a dam in deep water to protect the water and prevent it from flowing out. Similarly, Ananda! I now speak of these eight rules of respect for teachers for women, which women should not violate, and which women should uphold until the end of their lives. What are the eight? Ananda! A bhikkhuni should request full ordination from a bhikkhu. Ananda! I establish this as the first rule of respect for teachers for women, which women should not violate, and which women should uphold until the end of their lives. Ananda! Every half-month, a bhikkhuni should go to a bhikkhu to receive instruction. Ananda! I establish this as the second rule of respect for teachers for women, which women should not violate, and which women should uphold until the end of their lives. Ananda! If there are no bhikkhus in the place where they reside, bhikkhunis cannot observe the rainy season retreat. Ananda! I establish this as the third rule of respect for teachers for women, which women should not violate, and which women should uphold until the end of their lives. Ananda! After the bhikkhunis have completed the rainy season retreat, they should request three things from both parts of the Sangha: to seek to see, to seek to hear, and to seek to clarify doubts. Ananda! I establish this as the fourth rule of respect for teachers for women, which women should not violate, and which women should uphold until the end of their lives.
「阿難!若比丘不聽比丘尼問者,比丘尼則不得問比丘經、律、阿毗曇,若聽問者,比丘尼得問經、律、阿毗曇。阿難!我為女人施設此第五尊師法,謂女人不當犯,女人奉持,盡其形壽。

於是,尊者阿難聞佛所說,善受善持,稽首佛足,繞三匝而去,往詣瞿曇彌大愛所,語曰:「瞿曇彌!女人得於此正法、律中,至信、舍家、無家、學道。瞿曇彌大愛!世尊為女人施設此八尊師法,謂女人不當犯,女人奉持,盡其形壽

'Ananda! If a bhikkhu does not listen to a bhikkhuni's questions, the bhikkhuni should not ask the bhikkhu about the Sutras, the Vinaya, or the Abhidhamma. If he does listen, the bhikkhuni may ask about the Sutras, the Vinaya, and the Abhidhamma. Ananda! I have established this fifth rule of respect for teachers for women, which women should not violate and should uphold for the rest of their lives.' 'Ananda!

If a bhikkhuni commits a Sanghavasesa offense, she should undergo fifteen days of penance in both assemblies. Ananda! I have established this seventh rule of respect for teachers for women, which women should not violate and should uphold for the rest of their lives.' 'Ananda! Even if a bhikkhuni has received full ordination for a hundred years, she should still show the utmost humility to a bhikkhu who has just received full ordination, bowing her head in reverence, respectfully serving him, and greeting him with folded hands. Ananda! I have established this eighth rule of respect for teachers for women, which women should not violate and should uphold for the rest of their lives.' 'Ananda! I have established these eight rules of respect for teachers for women, which women should not violate and should uphold for the rest of their lives. Ananda! If Gotami Mahapajapati upholds these eight rules of respect for teachers, then she may go forth into this Dharma and Vinaya, renounce her home, and receive full ordination as a bhikkhuni.' Then, Venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha had said, received it well and upheld it. He bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him three times, and departed. He went to Gotami Mahapajapati and said to her, 'Gotami! Women may, with sincere faith, renounce their homes and go forth into this Dharma and Vinaya. Gotami Mahapajapati! The World Honored One has established these eight rules of respect for teachers for women, which women should not violate and should uphold for the rest of their lives.'

於是,瞿曇彌大愛白曰:「尊者阿難!聽我說喻,智者聞喻則解其義。尊者阿難!猶剎利女,梵志、居士、工師女,端正姝好,極凈沐浴以香涂身,著明凈衣,種種瓔珞嚴飾其容。或復有人爲念彼女,求利及饒益,求安隱快樂,以青蓮華須、或瞻卜華鬘、或修摩那華須、或婆師華須、或阿提牟多華須,持與彼女。彼女歡喜,兩手受之,以嚴其頭。如是,尊者阿難!世尊為女人施設此八尊師法,我盡形壽頂受奉持。」

『Gotami, even if a bhikkhuni has been fully ordained for a hundred years, she should still bow down with utmost humility to a bhikkhu who has just been fully ordained, respectfully serve him, and greet him with folded hands.

Gotami, the Blessed One said: 『If Gotami Mahapajapati upholds these eight rules of respect for teachers, then she can go forth into homelessness in this Dhamma and Discipline, receive full ordination, and become a bhikkhuni.』 Then, Gotami Mahapajapati said: 『Venerable Ananda, please listen to my simile, for the wise understand the meaning through similes. Venerable Ananda, it is like a kshatriya woman, a brahmin woman, a householder woman, or a craftswoman, who is beautiful and fair, having bathed and perfumed herself, wearing clean clothes, and adorned with various ornaments. If someone, out of affection for her, seeking her benefit and welfare, seeking her peace and happiness, were to give her blue lotus stamens, or champak flower garlands, or jasmine stamens, or vasika flower stamens, or atimuttaka flower stamens. She would joyfully receive them with both hands, and use them to adorn her hair. Similarly, Venerable Ananda, the Blessed One has established these eight rules of respect for teachers for women, and I will uphold them for the rest of my life.』 At that time, Gotami Mahapajapati went forth into homelessness in this Dhamma and Discipline, received full ordination, and became a bhikkhuni.
。彼時瞿曇彌大愛於後轉成大比丘尼眾,與諸長老上尊比丘尼為王者所識,久修梵行,共俱往詣尊者阿難所,稽首作禮,卻住一面,白曰:「尊者阿難!當知此諸比丘尼長老上尊為王者所識,久修梵行;彼諸比丘年少新學,晚后出家,入此正法、律甫爾不久。愿令此諸比丘為諸比丘尼隨其大小稽首作禮,恭敬承事,叉手問訊。」
於是,尊者阿難語曰:「瞿曇彌!今且住此,我往詣佛,白如是事。」

English version: At that time, Mahapajapati Gotami, having become the leader of the great Bhikkhuni Sangha, along with the elder and venerable Bhikkhunis, who were known to the king, and who had long practiced the holy life, went together to Venerable Ananda. After bowing their heads in respect, they stood to one side and said, 'Venerable Ananda! Know that these elder Bhikkhunis are respected, known to the king, and have long practiced the holy life; while those Bhikkhus are young, newly learning, having ordained late, and have not been in this Dharma and Vinaya for long. We wish that these Bhikkhus, according to the seniority of the Bhikkhunis, would bow their heads in respect, respectfully attend to them, and greet them with folded hands.' Then, Venerable Ananda said, 'Gotami, please wait here, I will go to the Buddha and report this matter.' Mahapajapati Gotami replied, 'Yes, Venerable Ananda!' Then, Venerable Ananda went to the Buddha, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, stood to one side, and with folded hands, reported to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir! Today, Mahapajapati Gotami and those elder and venerable Bhikkhunis, who are known to the king, and who have long practiced the holy life, came together to me. After bowing their heads to me, they stood to one side, and with folded hands, said to me, 'Venerable Ananda!

We wish that these Bhikkhus, according to the seniority of the Bhikkhunis, would bow their heads in respect, respectfully attend to them, and greet them with folded hands.' The World Honored One admonished, 'Stop! Stop! Ananda! Guard this statement, do not speak such words.'

現代漢語譯本:阿難!如果讓你像我一樣瞭解,你就不應該說一句話,更何況像這樣說呢?阿難!如果女人不能在這個正法和戒律中,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家修行,那麼所有的婆羅門和居士都會鋪開衣服在地上,這樣說道:『精進的沙門可以在上面行走,精進的沙門能做到難做之事,使我們長久以來獲得利益和安穩快樂。』阿難!如果女人不能在這個正法和戒律中,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家修行,那麼所有的婆羅門和居士都會散開頭髮在地上,這樣說道:『精進的沙門可以在上面行走,精進的沙門能做到難做之事,使我們長久以來獲得利益和安穩快樂。』 阿難!如果女人不能在這個正法和戒律中,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家修行,那麼所有的婆羅門和居士如果見到沙門,就會用手捧著各種食物,站在路邊等待,這樣說道:『諸位尊者!請接受這些食物,可以拿走,隨意使用,使我們長久以來獲得利益和安穩快樂。』阿難!如果女人不能在這個正法和戒律中,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,出家修行,那麼有信仰的婆羅門見到精進的沙門,會恭敬地扶抱他們進入家中,拿出各種財物給予精進的沙門,這樣說道:『諸位尊者!請接受這些,可以拿走,隨意使用,使我們長久以來獲得利益和安穩快樂。』
English version: Ananda! If you knew as I know, you would not utter a single word, let alone speak in this way. Ananda! If women were not able to, with sincere faith, renounce their homes and families to practice the Way within this Righteous Dharma and Discipline, then all Brahmins and householders would spread their clothes on the ground and say: 'The diligent monks may walk upon this, the diligent monks accomplish what is difficult to accomplish, so that we may for a long time gain benefit, peace, and happiness.' Ananda! If women were not able to, with sincere faith, renounce their homes and families to practice the Way within this Righteous Dharma and Discipline, then all Brahmins and householders would spread their hair on the ground and say: 'The diligent monks may walk upon this, the diligent monks accomplish what is difficult to accomplish, so that we may for a long time gain benefit, peace, and happiness.' Ananda! If women were not able to, with sincere faith, renounce their homes and families to practice the Way within this Righteous Dharma and Discipline, then all Brahmins and householders, upon seeing monks, would hold various foods in their hands, stand by the roadside and wait, saying: 'Venerable ones! Please accept these foods, you may take them and use them as you wish, so that we may for a long time gain benefit, peace, and happiness.' Ananda! If women were not able to, with sincere faith, renounce their homes and families to practice the Way within this Righteous Dharma and Discipline, then faithful Brahmins, upon seeing diligent monks, would respectfully embrace them and bring them into their homes, offering various possessions to the diligent monks, saying: 'Venerable ones! Please accept these, you may take them and use them as you wish, so that we may for a long time gain benefit, peace, and happiness.'
「阿難!若女人不得於此正法、律中,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,此日月有大如意足,有大威德,有大福祐,有大威神,然于精進沙門威神之德猶不相及,況復死瘦異學耶?阿難!若女人不得於此正法、律中,至信、舍家、無家、學道者,正法當住千年,今失五百歲,余有五百年。阿難!當知女人不得行五事,若女人作如來、無所著、等正覺,及轉輪王、天帝釋、魔王、大梵天者,終無是處。當知男子得行五事,若男子作如來、無所著、等正覺,及轉輪王、天帝釋、魔王、大梵天者,必有是處。」
佛說如是。尊者阿難及諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行
『阿難!如果女人不能在此正法和戒律中,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,離開家園,修習佛道,那麼即使她們擁有像日月一樣強大的如意神通,擁有巨大的威德,巨大的福佑,巨大的威神力,也仍然比不上精進修行的沙門的威神功德,更何況是那些死守陳規的異端學說呢?阿難!如果女人不能在此正法和戒律中,以至誠的信心,捨棄家庭,離開家園,修習佛道,那麼正法本應住世千年,現在將減少五百年,只剩下五百年。阿難!你應該知道女人不能成就五種事情,如果女人能成為如來、無所執著、等正覺的佛陀,以及轉輪聖王、天帝釋、魔王、大梵天,那是不可能的。你應該知道男子可以成就五種事情,如果男子能成為如來、無所執著、等正覺的佛陀,以及轉輪聖王、天帝釋、魔王、大梵天,那是一定可以的。』 佛陀就是這樣說的。尊者阿難和眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地接受並奉行。
'Ananda! If women, within this true Dharma and discipline, do not with utmost faith renounce their homes, leave their families, and practice the Way, then even if they possess great miraculous powers like the sun and moon, great virtue, great blessings, and great spiritual power, they still cannot compare to the virtuous power of diligent monks. How much less can they compare to those who cling to dead, rigid, heterodox teachings? Ananda! If women, within this true Dharma and discipline, do not with utmost faith renounce their homes, leave their families, and practice the Way, then the true Dharma, which should have lasted a thousand years, will now be reduced by five hundred years, leaving only five hundred years. Ananda! You should know that women cannot accomplish five things. If a woman could become a Tathagata, one who is without attachment, a fully enlightened Buddha, or a Universal Monarch, Indra, Mara, or Brahma, it is impossible. You should know that men can accomplish five things. If a man could become a Tathagata, one who is without attachment, a fully enlightened Buddha, or a Universal Monarch, Indra, Mara, or Brahma, it is certainly possible.' The Buddha spoke thus. Venerable Ananda and all the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it.

The fifth chapter of the 'Madhyama Agama Forest Section' is complete (14,182 characters) (recited in the second small earth city). The twenty-ninth volume of the 'Madhyama Agama Sutra'. Translated by the Tripitaka master Gotama Sanghadeva of Kipin during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The first chapter of the Great Section (containing twenty-five sutras) (the third day's recitation is named 'Mindfulness') (two sections combined contain twenty-five sutras). Softness, Dragon Elephant, Place; Impermanence, Request, Champa. Twenty Billion, Eight Difficulties; Poverty, Desire, Field of Merit. Upasaka, Enemy; Teach Gotami, Subdue Mara. Ratha, Upali; Sakya's Question, and Good Birth. Merchant, World, Merit; Cessation, To the Edge, Parable. (117) The first sutra of the 'Madhyama Agama Great Section', 'The Softness Sutra'. At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Sravasti, residing in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, the World Honored One addressed the monks, 'When I renounced the household life and began to study the Way, I came from a life of ease, leisure, and extreme softness. When I was in my father King Suddhodana's house, he had various palaces built for me, spring palaces, summer palaces, and winter palaces, for my enjoyment. Not far from the palaces, he also had various flower ponds built, blue lotus ponds, red lotus ponds, red lotus ponds, and white lotus ponds. In those ponds, various aquatic flowers were planted, blue lotuses, red lotuses, red lotuses, and white lotuses, with water and flowers all year round. People were assigned to guard them, and no one was allowed to enter, all for my enjoyment.'
。于其池岸殖種種陸華,修摩那華、婆師華、瞻卜華、修揵提華、摩頭揵提華、阿提牟多華、波羅頭華,為我好遊戲故。而使四人沐浴於我,沐浴我已,赤旃檀香用涂我身,香涂身已,著新繒衣,上下、內外、表裡皆新,晝夜常以傘蓋覆我,莫令太子夜為露所沾,晝為日所炙。如常他家粗𪍿、麥飯、豆羹、姜菜,為第一食,如是我父悅頭檀家最下使人,粳糧餚饌為第一食。
「複次,若有野田禽獸,最美禽獸,提帝邏和吒、劫賓阇邏、奚米何犁泥奢施羅米,如是野田禽獸,最美禽獸,常為我設如是之食。
「我憶昔時父悅頭檀家,于夏四月升正殿上,無有男子,唯有女妓而自娛樂,初不來下,我欲出至園觀之時,三十名騎,簡選上乘,鹵簿前後,侍從導引,況復其餘?我有是如意足,此最柔軟。
「我復憶昔時看田作人止息田上,往詣閻浮樹下,結跏趺坐,離欲、離惡不善之法,有覺、有觀,離生喜、樂,得初禪成就游。我作是念:『不多聞愚癡凡夫自有病法,不離於病,見他人病,憎惡薄賤、不愛不喜,不自觀己。』我復作是念:『我自有病法,不離於病,若我見他病而憎惡薄賤,不愛不喜者,我不宜然,我亦有是法故。』如是觀已,因不病起貢高者,即便自滅
在我的池塘邊種植各種陸生花卉,如修摩那花、婆師花、瞻卜花、修揵提花、摩頭揵提花、阿提牟多花、波羅頭花,都是爲了讓我玩樂。他們還讓四個人給我沐浴,沐浴后,用紅旃檀香塗抹我的身體,塗抹香后,穿上新的絲綢衣服,上下、內外、表裡都是新的。日夜都用傘蓋遮蔽我,不讓太子晚上被露水沾濕,白天被太陽曬到。其他人家常吃的粗糙食物、麥飯、豆羹、姜菜,對我來說是最普通的食物,而我父親悅頭檀家最下等的僕人,吃的都是精米和美味的菜餚。 此外,如果有野外的禽獸,最美麗的禽獸,如提帝邏和吒、劫賓阇邏、奚米何犁泥奢施羅米,這些野外最美麗的禽獸,常常為我準備這樣的食物。 我回憶起以前在父親悅頭檀家,在夏季四月登上正殿,沒有男子,只有女樂陪伴我娛樂,我從不下樓。當我想去園林遊玩時,有三十名騎兵,挑選最好的馬匹,在前後開道,侍從引導,更何況其他?我擁有這樣的如意足,這是最柔軟的。 我還回憶起以前看到農夫在田間休息,我走到閻浮樹下,結跏趺坐,遠離慾望、遠離邪惡不善的法,有覺、有觀,因遠離而生喜樂,成就初禪。我當時想:『那些沒有聽聞佛法的愚癡凡夫,自己有生病的規律,不能擺脫疾病,看到別人生病,就厭惡輕視、不愛不喜,卻不反觀自己。』我又想:『我自己也有生病的規律,不能擺脫疾病,如果我看到別人病了就厭惡輕視、不愛不喜,那我就不應該這樣,因為我也有這樣的規律。』這樣觀察之後,因為沒有生病而產生的驕傲,就立刻消失了。
By my pond were planted various terrestrial flowers, such as Sumana flowers, Vasika flowers, Champaka flowers, Sugandhika flowers, Madhuka flowers, Atimuktaka flowers, and Palasha flowers, all for my amusement. They also had four people bathe me; after bathing me, they would anoint my body with red sandalwood paste. After anointing me, I would put on new silk garments, new inside and out, top and bottom. Day and night, they would cover me with parasols, so that the prince would not be dampened by dew at night or scorched by the sun during the day. While others ate coarse food, barley rice, bean soup, and ginger vegetables as their ordinary fare, the lowest servants in my father Suddhodana's household ate fine rice and delicacies. Furthermore, if there were wild animals, the most beautiful of wild animals, such as the Tittira and the Kokila, the Hemihari and the Nisara, these most beautiful of wild animals would always provide such food for me. I recall that in my father Suddhodana's house, during the fourth month of summer, I would ascend to the main hall, where there were no men, only female musicians to entertain me, and I would never come down. When I wished to go to the garden, thirty horsemen, selected from the finest steeds, would lead the way, with attendants guiding me, not to mention the others. I had such a wish-fulfilling foot, the softest of all. I also recall that once, seeing farmers resting in the fields, I went to the Jambū tree, sat cross-legged, and, detached from desire and evil unwholesome states, with initial and sustained thought, born of detachment, I attained and remained in the first jhāna. I thought: 『Uninstructed foolish people are subject to illness, cannot escape illness, and when they see others ill, they despise and dislike them, not reflecting on themselves.』 I thought further: 『I am also subject to illness, cannot escape illness, and if I were to despise and dislike others when they are ill, that would be inappropriate, for I am also subject to this.』 Having reflected thus, the conceit that arose from not being ill immediately vanished.
。我復作是念:『不多聞愚癡凡夫自有老法,不離於老,見他人老,憎惡薄賤,不愛不喜,不自觀己。』
「我復作是念:『我自有老法,不離於老,若我見他老而憎惡薄賤、不愛不喜者,我不宜然,我亦有是法故。』如是觀已,若因壽起貢高者,即便自滅。不多聞愚癡凡夫為不病貢高豪貴放逸,因欲生癡,不行梵行。不多聞愚癡凡夫為少壯貢高豪貴放逸,因欲生癡,不行梵行。不多聞愚癡凡夫為壽貢高豪貴放逸,因欲生癡,不行梵行。」
「病法老法, 及死亡法, 如法自有, 凡夫見惡。 若我憎惡, 不度此法, 我不宜然, 亦有是法。 彼如是行, 知法離生, 無病少壯, 為壽貢高。 斷諸貢高, 見無慾安, 彼如是覺, 無怖于欲, 得無有想, 行凈梵行。」
柔軟經第一竟(七百九十一字)
(一一八)中阿含大品龍象經第二(第三唸誦)
一時,佛游舍衛國,在東園鹿子母堂。
爾時,世尊則于晡時從宴坐起,堂上來下,告曰:「烏陀夷!共汝往至東河澡浴。」
尊者烏陀夷白曰:「唯然
我又這樣想:『沒有廣博知識的愚癡凡夫,自身有衰老的規律,無法擺脫衰老,看到別人衰老,就憎恨輕視,不喜愛也不高興,卻不反觀自己。』 我又這樣想:『我自身也有衰老的規律,無法擺脫衰老,如果我看到別人衰老就憎恨輕視、不喜愛也不高興,那我就不應該這樣,因為我也有這樣的規律。』這樣觀察之後,如果因為壽命而產生驕傲,就會立刻自行消滅。沒有廣博知識的愚癡凡夫,因為不生病而驕傲自大、放縱享樂,因為慾望而產生愚癡,不修行清凈的行為。沒有廣博知識的愚癡凡夫,因為年輕力壯而驕傲自大、放縱享樂,因為慾望而產生愚癡,不修行清凈的行為。沒有廣博知識的愚癡凡夫,因為長壽而驕傲自大、放縱享樂,因為慾望而產生愚癡,不修行清凈的行為。」 於是,世尊就說了這樣的偈頌: 『生病是規律,衰老是規律,以及死亡是規律,這些規律如實存在,凡夫卻認為它們是壞事。 如果我憎恨厭惡,就無法超越這些規律,我不應該這樣,因為我也有這些規律。 他這樣修行,瞭解規律,脫離了執著,不會因為無病、年輕力壯、長壽而驕傲自大。 斷除各種驕傲,看到無慾的安寧,他這樣覺悟,就不會害怕慾望,獲得無念的狀態,修行清凈的行為。』 《柔軟經》第一部分結束(七百九十一字) (一一八)《中阿含經·大品·龍象經》第二(第三次誦讀) 一時,佛陀在舍衛國游化,住在東園鹿子母堂。 那時,世尊在傍晚時分從禪定中起身,從堂上下來,告訴烏陀夷說:『烏陀夷!我們一起去東河洗澡吧。』 尊者烏陀夷回答說:『好的,世尊。』
Then I thought: 'Uninstructed, foolish worldlings are subject to aging, they are not exempt from aging. When they see others aging, they are disgusted, humiliated, displeased, and unhappy, without reflecting on themselves.' Then I thought: 'I am also subject to aging, I am not exempt from aging. If I were to be disgusted, humiliated, displeased, and unhappy when seeing others aging, that would not be proper for me, since I am also subject to this law.' Having reflected thus, any conceit arising from longevity would immediately cease. Uninstructed, foolish worldlings, due to not being ill, become conceited, arrogant, and indulgent, and due to desire, they become deluded and do not practice the holy life. Uninstructed, foolish worldlings, due to being young and strong, become conceited, arrogant, and indulgent, and due to desire, they become deluded and do not practice the holy life. Uninstructed, foolish worldlings, due to longevity, become conceited, arrogant, and indulgent, and due to desire, they become deluded and do not practice the holy life.' Then, the Blessed One spoke this verse: 'Subject to illness, subject to aging, and subject to death, these laws exist as they are, but worldlings see them as evil. If I were to be disgusted and hateful, I would not transcend these laws. It would not be proper for me, as I am also subject to these laws. He who practices thus, knowing the law, is free from attachment, and is not conceited due to being free from illness, young, or long-lived. Having abandoned all conceit, seeing the peace of non-desire, he is thus awakened, without fear of desire, having attained the state of non-perception, he practices the pure holy life.' The first part of the 'Softness Discourse' is concluded (791 words). (118) The Second Discourse of the Great Chapter, the 'Elephant Discourse' from the Middle Length Discourses (Third Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Savatthi, residing in the Deer Mother's Hall in the East Park. Then, the Blessed One, in the late afternoon, arose from his meditation, descended from the hall, and said to Udayi: 'Udayi! Let us go to the East River to bathe.' Venerable Udayi replied: 'Yes, Blessed One.'
於是,世尊將尊者烏陀夷往至東河,脫衣岸上,便入水浴,浴已還出,拭體著衣。
爾時,波斯匿王有龍象,名曰念,作一切妓樂,歷度東河。眾人見已,便作是說:「是龍中龍,為大龍王,為是誰耶?」
尊者烏陀夷叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!像受大身,眾人見已,便作是說:『是龍中龍,為大龍王,為是誰耶?』」
世尊告曰:「如是。烏陀夷!如是。烏陀夷!像受大身,眾人見已,便作是說:『是龍中龍,為大龍王,為是誰耶?』烏陀夷!馬、駱駝、牛、驢、胸行、人、樹,生大形,烏陀夷!眾人見已,便作是說:『是龍中龍,為大龍王,為是誰耶?』烏陀夷!若有世間,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,不以身、口、意害者,我說彼是龍。烏陀夷!如來於世間,天及魔、梵、沙門、梵志,從人至天,不以身、口、意害,是故我名龍。」
於是,尊者烏陀夷叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!唯愿世尊加我威力,善逝加我威力,令我在佛前,以龍相應頌頌讚世尊。」
世尊告曰:「隨汝所欲。」
於是,尊者烏陀夷在於佛前,以龍相應頌讚世尊曰:
「正覺生人間, 自御得正定, 修習行梵跡, 息意能自樂
於是,世尊帶著尊者烏陀夷來到東河邊,脫下衣服放在岸上,就下水洗浴。洗完後上岸,擦乾身體穿上衣服。 當時,波斯匿王有一頭名叫『念』的龍象,在各種樂器的伴奏下,橫渡東河。眾人看到后,就議論說:『這真是象中之龍,是大龍王,這是誰啊?』 尊者烏陀夷合掌向佛,說道:『世尊!大象身形巨大,眾人看到后,就議論說:『這是象中之龍,是大龍王,這是誰啊?』』 世尊回答說:『是的,烏陀夷!是的,烏陀夷!大象身形巨大,眾人看到后,就議論說:『這是象中之龍,是大龍王,這是誰啊?』烏陀夷!馬、駱駝、牛、驢、爬行動物、人、樹,如果長得巨大,烏陀夷!眾人看到后,也會議論說:『這是龍中之龍,是大龍王,這是誰啊?』烏陀夷!如果世間有人,包括天神、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門,從人到天,都不用身、口、意去傷害眾生,我就說他是龍。烏陀夷!如來在世間,包括天神、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門,從人到天,都不用身、口、意去傷害眾生,所以我說我名為龍。』 於是,尊者烏陀夷合掌向佛,說道:『世尊!希望世尊加持我力量,善逝加持我力量,讓我在佛前,用與龍相應的偈頌來讚美世尊。』 世尊回答說:『隨你的意願。』 於是,尊者烏陀夷在佛前,用與龍相應的偈頌讚美世尊說: 『正覺者生於人間, 自我調御得正定, 修習梵行之跡, 息滅意念能自樂。』
Then, the World Honored One, along with the Venerable Udayi, went to the bank of the Eastern River. He took off his clothes on the shore and entered the water to bathe. After bathing, he came out, dried himself, and put on his clothes. At that time, King Pasenadi had a dragon elephant named 'Nian,' which, accompanied by various musical instruments, crossed the Eastern River. Upon seeing it, the people said, 'This is truly a dragon among elephants, a great dragon king. Who is this?' Venerable Udayi, with his palms together, said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! The elephant has a large body, and when people see it, they say, 'This is a dragon among elephants, a great dragon king. Who is this?'' The World Honored One replied, 'Yes, Udayi! Yes, Udayi! The elephant has a large body, and when people see it, they say, 'This is a dragon among elephants, a great dragon king. Who is this?' Udayi! If a horse, camel, cow, donkey, reptile, person, or tree grows to a large size, Udayi! When people see it, they will also say, 'This is a dragon among dragons, a great dragon king. Who is this?' Udayi! If there is anyone in the world, including gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, and Brahmins, from humans to gods, who does not harm beings with their body, speech, or mind, I say that they are a dragon. Udayi! The Tathagata in the world, including gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, and Brahmins, from humans to gods, does not harm beings with their body, speech, or mind, therefore I say that I am called a dragon.' Then, Venerable Udayi, with his palms together, said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! I wish that the World Honored One would grant me power, that the Well-Gone One would grant me power, so that I may praise the World Honored One with verses corresponding to the dragon before the Buddha.' The World Honored One replied, 'As you wish.' Then, Venerable Udayi, in front of the Buddha, praised the World Honored One with verses corresponding to the dragon, saying: 'The Awakened One is born in the human world, Self-mastered, attains right concentration, Practicing the path of Brahma, With a calmed mind, one can find joy.'
人之所敬重, 越超一切法, 亦為天所敬, 無著至真人。 越度一切結, 于林離林去, 舍欲樂無慾, 如石出真金。 普聞正盡覺, 如日昇虛空, 一切龍中高, 如眾山有岳。 稱說名大龍, 而無所傷害, 一切龍中龍, 真諦無上龍。 溫潤無有害, 此二是龍足, 苦行及梵行, 是謂龍所行。 大龍信為手, 二功德為牙, 念項智慧頭, 思惟分別法。 受持諸法腹, 樂遠離雙臂, 住善息出入, 內心至善定。 龍行止俱定, 坐定臥亦定, 龍一切時定, 是謂龍常法。 無穢家受食, 有穢則不受, 得惡不凈食, 舍之如師子。 所得供養者, 為他慈愍受, 龍食他信施, 存命無所著。 斷除大小結, 解脫一切縛, 隨彼所遊行, 心無有繫著。 猶如白蓮花, 水生水長養, 泥水不能著, 妙香愛樂色。 如是最上覺, 世生行世間, 不為欲所染, 如華水不著。 猶如然火熾, 不益薪則止, 無薪火不傳, 此火謂之滅。 慧者說此喻, 欲令解其義, 是龍之所知, 龍中龍所說
人們所敬重的人,超越了一切法則,也為天神所敬重,是無所執著的真正修行者。 他超越了一切束縛,離開森林又進入森林,捨棄了慾望和無慾,如同從石頭中提煉出的真金。 他普遍覺悟了正法,如同太陽升起在虛空中,在一切龍中最為高貴,如同眾山中的山嶽。 他被稱為大龍,卻不會傷害任何事物,是一切龍中的龍,是真理無上的龍。 他溫和而無害,這是龍的兩足,苦行和梵行,是龍所行之道。 大龍以信念為手,以兩種功德為牙齒,以正念為頸項,以智慧為頭腦,能思惟分別諸法。 他受持一切法,以遠離為樂,如同雙臂,安住于善的呼吸,內心達到至善的禪定。 龍的行走、停止都處於禪定之中,坐著、躺著也處於禪定之中,龍的一切時候都處於禪定之中,這就是龍的常法。 他不會在不潔凈的家中接受食物,如果食物不潔凈,他也不會接受,如果得到不好的不凈食物,他會像獅子一樣捨棄。 他所得到的供養,是爲了慈悲他人而接受,龍吃的是他人的信施,維持生命而無所執著。 他斷除了大小的束縛,解脫了一切的捆綁,隨心所欲,心中沒有任何的繫縛。 猶如白蓮花,在水中生長,在水中滋養,卻不被泥水沾染,喜愛它美好的香氣和顏色。 最上覺悟者也是如此,在世間出生,在世間行走,卻不被慾望所污染,如同蓮花不沾水。 猶如燃燒的火焰,如果不新增柴火就會熄滅,沒有柴火,火焰就不會蔓延,這火焰就稱為熄滅。 有智慧的人說這個比喻,是爲了讓人們理解其中的含義,這是龍所知道的,是龍中之龍所說的。
The one who is respected by people, surpasses all laws, and is also respected by the gods, is a true practitioner without attachments. He transcends all bonds, leaves the forest and enters the forest again, abandons desires and non-desires, like pure gold extracted from stone. He universally awakens to the true Dharma, like the sun rising in the void, the noblest among all dragons, like the mountain peak among mountains. He is called the Great Dragon, yet he does not harm anything, he is the dragon among all dragons, the supreme dragon of truth. He is gentle and harmless, these are the two feet of the dragon, asceticism and pure conduct, are the path the dragon walks. The Great Dragon uses faith as his hands, two merits as his teeth, mindfulness as his neck, wisdom as his head, able to contemplate and discern all dharmas. He upholds all dharmas, takes joy in detachment, like two arms, dwells in good breathing, and his mind reaches the supreme state of meditation. The dragon's walking and stopping are in meditation, sitting and lying down are also in meditation, the dragon is in meditation at all times, this is the constant law of the dragon. He does not accept food in an unclean house, if the food is unclean, he will not accept it, if he receives bad or unclean food, he will discard it like a lion. The offerings he receives are accepted out of compassion for others, the dragon eats the offerings of faith from others, sustaining life without attachment. He has cut off the small and large bonds, liberated from all ties, goes where he pleases, and his heart has no attachments. Like a white lotus flower, growing in water, nourished by water, yet not stained by mud, loving its beautiful fragrance and color. The supreme enlightened one is also like this, born in the world, walking in the world, yet not defiled by desires, like a lotus flower not clinging to water. Like a burning fire, if no firewood is added, it will go out, without firewood, the fire will not spread, this fire is called extinguished. The wise one speaks this metaphor, to make people understand its meaning, this is what the dragon knows, what the dragon among dragons speaks.
遠離淫慾恚, 斷癡得無漏, 龍舍離其身, 此龍謂之滅。」
佛說如是。尊者烏陀夷聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一九)中阿含大品說處經第三(第三唸誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「此有三說處,無四無五。若比丘見已,因彼故說而說我見、聞、識、知,比丘說而說是我所知。云何為三?比丘,因過去世說,而說如是過去世時有;比丘!因未來世說,而說如是未來世時有;比丘!因現在世說,而說如是現在世時有;是謂三說處,無四無五。若比丘見已,因彼故說而說我見、聞、識、知,比丘說而說是我所知,因所說善習得義,因不說不善習得義。
「賢聖弟子兩耳一心聽法,彼兩耳一心聽法已,斷一法、修一法、一法作證,彼斷一法、修一法、一法作證已,便得正定。賢聖弟子心得正定已,便斷一切淫、怒、癡,賢聖弟子如是得心解脫。解脫已便知解脫,我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真
『遠離淫慾和嗔恚,斷除愚癡,證得無漏的境界,就像龍捨棄了它的身體一樣,這樣的龍才被稱為滅度。』 佛陀如是說。尊者烏陀夷聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 《龍象經》第二部分結束(共七百三十字) (一一九)《中阿含經·大品·說處經》第三(第三次誦讀) 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『這裡有三種說法之處,沒有四種或五種。如果比丘看到這些,因此而說,並說「我見、聞、識、知」,比丘說,並說「這是我所知」。哪三種呢?比丘,因為過去世而說,並說「過去世時有」;比丘,因為未來世而說,並說「未來世時有」;比丘,因為現在世而說,並說「現在世時有」。這就是三種說法之處,沒有四種或五種。如果比丘看到這些,因此而說,並說「我見、聞、識、知」,比丘說,並說「這是我所知」,因為所說的善法而習得其義,因為不說不善法而習得其義。』 『賢聖弟子以兩耳專心聽法,他們以兩耳專心聽法后,斷除一種法,修習一種法,並對一種法作證。他們斷除一種法,修習一種法,並對一種法作證后,便獲得正定。賢聖弟子心得正定后,便斷除一切淫慾、嗔怒、愚癡。賢聖弟子如此獲得心解脫。解脫后便知道自己已解脫,『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不再受後有』,如實知曉。'
'Having abandoned lust and hatred, having severed ignorance, one attains the taintless state, just as a dragon sheds its body; such a dragon is said to be extinguished.' Thus spoke the Buddha. Venerable Udāyi, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The second part of the 'Dragon Elephant Sutra' ends (730 words in total). (119) The third 'Discourse on the Bases of Statements' from the 'Middle Length Discourses', Great Chapter (Third Recitation) Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'There are these three bases for statements, not four or five. If a monk, having seen these, speaks because of them, and says, 「I see, hear, cognize, know,」 the monk speaks and says, 「This is what I know.」 What are the three? A monk, because of the past, speaks and says, 「There was a past」; a monk, because of the future, speaks and says, 「There will be a future」; a monk, because of the present, speaks and says, 「There is a present.」 These are the three bases for statements, not four or five. If a monk, having seen these, speaks because of them, and says, 「I see, hear, cognize, know,」 the monk speaks and says, 「This is what I know,」 because of the good teachings spoken, he gains the meaning, and because of not speaking unwholesome teachings, he gains the meaning.' 'A noble disciple listens to the Dharma with both ears and a focused mind. Having listened to the Dharma with both ears and a focused mind, they abandon one thing, cultivate one thing, and realize one thing. Having abandoned one thing, cultivated one thing, and realized one thing, they attain right concentration. Having attained right concentration, the noble disciple abandons all lust, anger, and ignorance. The noble disciple thus attains liberation of mind. Having been liberated, they know they are liberated, 「Birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being,」 they know this truly.'
。因其所說有四處,當以觀人,此賢者可共說、不可共說?若使此賢者一向論、不一向答者,分別論、不分別答者,詰論、不詰答者,止論、不止答者,如是此賢者不得共說,亦不得共論。若使此賢者一向論、使一向答者,分別論、分別答者,詰論、詰答者,止論、止答者,如是此賢者得共說,亦得共論。
「複次,因其所說,更有四處,當以觀人,此賢者可共說、不可共說?若使此賢者于處、非處不住者,所知不住者,說喻不住者,道跡不住者,如是此賢者不可共說,亦不可共論。若此賢者于處、非處住者,所知住者,說喻住者,道跡住者,如是此賢者可得共說,亦可得共論。因所說時止息口行,舍已所見,舍怨結意,舍欲、舍恚、舍癡、舍慢、舍不語、舍慳嫉、不求勝、不伏他,莫取所失,說義說法。說義說法已,教復教止,自歡喜、令彼歡喜,如是說義,如是說事,是聖說義,是聖說事,謂至竟漏盡。」
於是,世尊說此頌曰:
「若有諍論議, 雜意懷貢高, 非聖毀呰德, 各各相求便。 但求他過失, 意欲降伏彼, 更互而求勝, 聖不如是說。 若欲得論議, 慧者當知時, 有法亦有義, 諸聖論如是
現代漢語譯本:觀察一個人,可以從他所說的四個方面來判斷,這個人是適合一起交談還是不適合。如果這個人總是單方面地論述,而不迴應對方的提問;總是分別地論述,而不做整體的迴應;總是詰難對方,而不回答對方的詰問;總是自己說個不停,而不讓對方說話,那麼這個人就不適合一起交談,也不適合一起討論。如果這個人既能單方面地論述,也能迴應對方的提問;既能分別地論述,也能做整體的迴應;既能詰難對方,也能回答對方的詰問;既能自己說,也能讓對方說話,那麼這個人就適合一起交談,也適合一起討論。 進一步說,觀察一個人,還可以從他所說的另外四個方面來判斷,這個人是適合一起交談還是不適合。如果這個人對於『是處』和『非處』的概念不執著,對於所知不執著,對於比喻不執著,對於道跡不執著,那麼這個人就不適合一起交談,也不適合一起討論。如果這個人對於『是處』和『非處』的概念執著,對於所知執著,對於比喻執著,對於道跡執著,那麼這個人就適合一起交談,也適合一起討論。在說話的時候,要停止口頭的爭辯,放下自己的成見,放下怨恨的意念,放下慾望、嗔恨、愚癡、傲慢、沉默不語、吝嗇嫉妒,不求勝過別人,不壓制別人,不抓住對方的過失,而是闡述真理和佛法。闡述真理和佛法之後,要教導對方,也要適時停止教導,自己感到歡喜,也讓對方感到歡喜。這樣的闡述真理,這樣的討論事情,才是聖者的闡述真理,才是聖者的討論事情,最終達到煩惱的徹底止息。 於是,世尊說了這首偈頌: 『如果有人爭論不休,心懷雜念,貢高我慢,詆譭聖者的德行,各自尋求自己的利益。他們只求找出別人的過失,想要降伏對方,互相爭勝,聖者不是這樣說話的。如果想要進行討論,有智慧的人應當知道時機,既要符合佛法,也要符合義理,聖者的討論就是這樣的。』
English version: There are four aspects to observe in a person's speech to determine whether they are suitable for discussion or not. If this person always argues one-sidedly without responding to questions, always argues separately without giving a comprehensive response, always challenges without answering questions, and always talks incessantly without letting others speak, then this person is not suitable for discussion. If this person can argue one-sidedly and also respond to questions, argue separately and also give a comprehensive response, challenge and also answer questions, and both speak and let others speak, then this person is suitable for discussion. Furthermore, there are four more aspects to observe in a person's speech to determine whether they are suitable for discussion or not. If this person is not attached to the concepts of 'right' and 'wrong,' not attached to what is known, not attached to metaphors, and not attached to the path, then this person is not suitable for discussion. If this person is attached to the concepts of 'right' and 'wrong,' attached to what is known, attached to metaphors, and attached to the path, then this person is suitable for discussion. When speaking, one should stop verbal disputes, let go of one's own opinions, let go of resentment, let go of desire, hatred, ignorance, arrogance, silence, stinginess, and jealousy, not seek to surpass others, not suppress others, not seize upon others' faults, but rather explain the truth and the Dharma. After explaining the truth and the Dharma, one should teach others and also know when to stop teaching, be happy oneself and make others happy. Such an explanation of the truth, such a discussion of matters, is the explanation of the truth by the saints, is the discussion of matters by the saints, ultimately reaching the complete cessation of afflictions. Then, the World Honored One spoke this verse: 'If there are those who argue endlessly, with confused minds and arrogance, who slander the virtues of the saints, each seeking their own benefit. They only seek to find others' faults, wanting to subdue them, competing with each other for victory, the saints do not speak like this. If one wishes to engage in discussion, the wise should know the time, it should be in accordance with the Dharma and also in accordance with the meaning, the discussions of the saints are like this.'
慧者如是說, 無諍無貢高, 意無有厭足, 無結無有漏。 隨順不顛倒, 正知而為說, 善說則然可, 自終不說惡。 不以諍論議, 亦不受他諍, 知處及說處, 是彼之所論。 如是聖人說, 慧者俱得義, 為現法得樂, 亦為後世安。 當知聰達者, 非倒非常說。」

(一二〇)中阿含大品說無常經第四(第三唸誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「色者無常,無常則苦,苦則非神。覺亦無常,無常則苦,苦則非神。想亦無常,無常則苦,苦則非神。行亦無常,無常則苦,苦則非神。識亦無常,無常則苦,苦則非神。是為色無常,覺、想、行、識無常,無常則苦,苦則非神。多聞聖弟子作如是觀,修習七道品,無礙正思正念,彼如是知、如是見,欲漏心解脫,有漏、無明漏心解脫,解脫已,便知解脫,我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。若有眾生及九眾生居,乃至有想無想處行余第一有,于其中間是第一、是大、是勝、是最、是尊、是妙,謂世中阿羅訶
現代漢語譯本:智者是這樣說的,沒有爭論,沒有傲慢,內心沒有厭倦,沒有煩惱,沒有執著。他們順應真理而不顛倒,以正確的理解來闡述,善於言說且令人信服,從始至終不說惡語。他們不以爭論來議事,也不接受他人的爭論,知道什麼是應該說的,什麼是不應該說的,這就是他們所討論的。聖人是這樣說的,智者都能從中獲得真理,為現世帶來快樂,也為來世帶來安寧。應當知道,聰慧通達的人,所說的不是顛倒的,也不是虛妄的。 佛陀是這樣說的。那些比丘聽了佛陀所說的話,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 《說處經》第三篇結束(共七百二十三個字) (一二〇)《中阿含經·大品·說無常經》第四(第三次誦讀) 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『色是無常的,無常就是苦,苦就不是神我。感受也是無常的,無常就是苦,苦就不是神我。想也是無常的,無常就是苦,苦就不是神我。行也是無常的,無常就是苦,苦就不是神我。識也是無常的,無常就是苦,苦就不是神我。這就是說色是無常的,感受、想、行、識都是無常的,無常就是苦,苦就不是神我。多聞的聖弟子這樣觀察,修習七道品,無礙地正確思考和正念,他們這樣知道、這樣看見,欲漏的心就解脫了,有漏、無明漏的心也解脫了,解脫之後,便知道自己已經解脫,『我的生命已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,不再受後有』,如實地知道。如果有眾生以及九種眾生所居住的地方,乃至有想無想處,在這些地方中,第一、最大、最勝、最尊、最妙的,就是世間的阿羅漢。』
English version: Thus say the wise: without strife, without arrogance, with a mind that is not weary, without fetters, without outflows. They follow what is not inverted, speaking with right understanding, speaking well and acceptably, never speaking evil from beginning to end. They do not engage in debate, nor do they accept the debates of others, knowing what should be said and what should not be said, this is what they discuss. Thus say the holy ones, the wise obtain the meaning, bringing happiness in this life and peace in the next. It should be known that the wise and understanding do not speak what is inverted or false. The third discourse of the 'Discourse on the Place of Speaking' ends (723 words). (120) The Fourth Discourse on Impermanence from the Great Chapter of the Middle Length Discourses (Third Recitation) Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'Form is impermanent, what is impermanent is suffering, and what is suffering is not self. Feeling is also impermanent, what is impermanent is suffering, and what is suffering is not self. Perception is also impermanent, what is impermanent is suffering, and what is suffering is not self. Mental formations are also impermanent, what is impermanent is suffering, and what is suffering is not self. Consciousness is also impermanent, what is impermanent is suffering, and what is suffering is not self. This is to say that form is impermanent, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, what is impermanent is suffering, and what is suffering is not self. A well-taught noble disciple observes in this way, cultivates the seven factors of enlightenment, with unobstructed right thought and right mindfulness, they know and see in this way, the mind is liberated from the outflow of desire, the mind is liberated from the outflows of existence and ignorance, having been liberated, they know they are liberated, 'My birth is finished, the holy life has been established, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming into existence,' they know this truly. If there are beings and the nine abodes of beings, even up to the realm of neither perception nor non-perception, among these, the first, the greatest, the most excellent, the most honored, the most wonderful, is the Arahant in the world.'
。所以者何?世中阿羅訶得安隱快樂。」
「無著第一樂, 斷欲無有愛, 永舍離我慢, 裂壞無明網。 彼得不移動, 心中無穢濁, 不染著世間, 梵行得無漏。 了知於五陰, 境界七善法, 大雄遊行處, 離一切恐怖。 成就七覺寶, 具學三種學, 妙稱上朋友, 佛最上真子。 成就十支道, 大龍極定心, 是世中第一, 彼則無有愛。 眾事不移動, 解脫當來有, 斷生老病死, 所作辦滅漏。 興起無學智, 得身最後邊, 梵行第一具, 彼心不由他。 上下及諸方, 彼無有喜樂, 能為師子吼, 世間無上覺。」

一時,佛游王舍城,在竹林加蘭哆園,與大比丘眾五百人俱,共受夏坐。
爾時,世尊月十五日,說從解脫相請請時,在比丘眾前敷座而坐,告諸比丘:「我是梵志,而得滅訖,無上醫王,我今受身,最是後邊
現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?因為世間的阿羅漢能夠獲得安穩和快樂。 『無執著是第一的快樂,斷絕慾望就沒有愛戀,永遠捨棄我慢,破除無明的羅網。 他們獲得不動搖的境界,心中沒有污穢,不染著世間,梵行達到無漏的境界。 他們了知五蘊,通達七種善法,是大雄的住所,遠離一切恐怖。 他們成就七覺寶,具足學習三種學,是美妙的良友,是佛陀最上等的真子。 他們成就十支道,心如大龍般堅定,是世間第一,他們沒有愛戀。 他們不受世事動搖,解脫未來的存在,斷絕生老病死,所作已辦,滅盡煩惱。 他們生起無學的智慧,獲得身體的最後階段,梵行達到最圓滿的境界,他們的心不由他人掌控。 上下以及各個方向,他們都沒有喜樂,能夠發出獅子吼,是世間無上的覺悟者。』 《無常經》第四部分結束(共四百一十三字) (一二一)《中阿含經·大品·請請經》第五(下一個『請』字讀作慈井反)(第三次唸誦) 一時,佛陀在王舍城游化,住在竹林迦蘭陀園,與五百位大比丘一同安居。 當時,世尊在月圓十五日,宣說從解脫相請請的時候,在比丘眾前鋪設座位坐下,告訴眾比丘:『我是婆羅門,已經滅盡煩惱,是無上的醫王,我今生受身,是最末後的一生。』
English version: What is the reason for this? It is because the Arhats in the world can obtain peace and happiness. 'Non-attachment is the first happiness, cutting off desire means no love, forever abandoning arrogance, breaking the net of ignorance. They obtain an unshakeable state, their hearts are without defilement, they are not attached to the world, their holy life reaches the state of no outflows. They understand the five aggregates, comprehend the seven good dharmas, are the dwelling place of the Great Hero, and are free from all fear. They achieve the seven treasures of enlightenment, fully learn the three trainings, are wonderful friends, and are the Buddha's most excellent true sons. They achieve the ten-fold path, their minds are as firm as a great dragon, they are the first in the world, and they have no love. They are not moved by worldly affairs, they are liberated from future existence, they have cut off birth, old age, sickness, and death, they have done what needs to be done, and they have extinguished all outflows. They give rise to the wisdom of no more learning, they obtain the final stage of the body, their holy life reaches the most perfect state, and their minds are not controlled by others. Above, below, and in all directions, they have no joy or sorrow, they can roar like a lion, and they are the unsurpassed enlightened ones in the world.' The fourth part of the 'Impermanence Sutra' ends (413 words in total) (121) The fifth 'Please Please Sutra' of the 'Great Chapter' of the 'Middle Length Discourses' (the next 'please' is pronounced as 'ci jing fan') (third recitation) At one time, the Buddha was traveling in Rajagriha, residing in the Bamboo Grove, Kalandaka Garden, together with five hundred great monks, observing the summer retreat. At that time, on the fifteenth day of the full moon, when the World Honored One was speaking about the 'please please' of the aspect of liberation, he sat down on a seat prepared in front of the assembly of monks, and told the monks: 'I am a Brahmin, I have extinguished all afflictions, I am the unsurpassed king of physicians, and this life I am receiving is my last.'
。我是梵志,得滅訖后,無上醫王,我今受身,最是後邊。謂汝等輩是我真子,從口而生,法法所化。謂汝等輩是我真子,從口而生,法法所化,汝當教化,轉相教訶。」
爾時,尊者舍梨子亦在眾中。於是,尊者舍梨子即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!向之所說:『我是梵志,而得滅訖,無上醫王,我今受身,最是後邊。我是梵志,得滅訖后,無上醫王,我今受身,最是後邊。謂汝等輩是我真子,從口而生,法法所化。謂汝等輩是我真子,從口而生,法法所化,汝當教化,轉相教訶。』世尊!諸不調者令得調御,諸不息者令得止息,諸不度者而令得度,諸不解脫者令得解脫,諸不滅訖者令得滅訖,未得道者令其得道,不施設梵行令施設梵行。知道、覺道、識道、說道,世尊弟子於後得法,受教、受訶、受教、訶已,隨世尊語,即便趣行,得如其意,善知正法。唯然,世尊不嫌我身、口、意行耶?」
彼時,世尊告曰:「舍梨子!我不嫌汝身、口、意行。所以者何?舍梨子!汝有聰慧、大慧、速慧、捷慧、利慧、廣慧、深慧、出要慧、明達慧。舍梨子!汝成就實慧。舍梨子!猶轉輪王而有太子,不越教已,則便受拜父王所傳,而能復傳。如是,舍梨子!我所轉法輪,汝復能轉
現代漢語譯本:我是婆羅門,在涅槃之後,是無上的醫王。我今生受此身,是最末後的。你們這些弟子是我的真子,從我的口中出生,由佛法所化育。你們這些弟子是我的真子,從我的口中出生,由佛法所化育,你們應當教化眾生,互相教導和呵責。 當時,尊者舍利弗也在眾中。於是,尊者舍利弗即從座位起身,偏袒右肩,合掌向佛,稟告說:『世尊!您剛才所說:『我是婆羅門,在涅槃之後,是無上的醫王。我今生受此身,是最末後的。我是婆羅門,在涅槃之後,是無上的醫王。我今生受此身,是最末後的。你們這些弟子是我的真子,從我的口中出生,由佛法所化育。你們這些弟子是我的真子,從我的口中出生,由佛法所化育,你們應當教化眾生,互相教導和呵責。』世尊!對於那些不調伏的,令他們得到調伏;對於那些不安息的,令他們得到止息;對於那些未得度的,令他們得到度脫;對於那些未解脫的,令他們得到解脫;對於那些未涅槃的,令他們得到涅槃;對於那些未得道的,令他們得到道;對於那些未建立梵行的,令他們建立梵行。知道、覺道、識道、說道,世尊的弟子在之後得到佛法,接受教導、接受呵責、接受教導和呵責之後,遵循世尊的教誨,立即修行,達到所期望的境界,善於瞭解正法。唯愿世尊不嫌棄我的身、口、意行為。』 那時,世尊告訴舍利弗說:『舍利弗!我不嫌棄你的身、口、意行為。為什麼呢?舍利弗!你具有聰慧、大慧、速慧、捷慧、利慧、廣慧、深慧、出要慧、明達慧。舍利弗!你成就了真實的智慧。舍利弗!就像轉輪聖王有太子,不違背教誨,便會接受父王所傳的王位,並且能夠繼續傳下去。同樣,舍利弗!我所轉的法輪,你也能繼續轉動。』
English version: I am a Brahmin, after attaining Nirvana, I am the supreme physician. I am now taking this body, which is the last. You disciples are my true sons, born from my mouth, and nurtured by the Dharma. You disciples are my true sons, born from my mouth, and nurtured by the Dharma. You should teach and guide others, and instruct and admonish each other. At that time, the Venerable Shariputra was also in the assembly. Then, the Venerable Shariputra rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, and with his palms together, addressed the Buddha, saying: 'World Honored One! What you just said: 『I am a Brahmin, after attaining Nirvana, I am the supreme physician. I am now taking this body, which is the last. I am a Brahmin, after attaining Nirvana, I am the supreme physician. I am now taking this body, which is the last. You disciples are my true sons, born from my mouth, and nurtured by the Dharma. You disciples are my true sons, born from my mouth, and nurtured by the Dharma. You should teach and guide others, and instruct and admonish each other.』 World Honored One! For those who are untamed, cause them to be tamed; for those who are not at peace, cause them to be at peace; for those who are not liberated, cause them to be liberated; for those who are not emancipated, cause them to be emancipated; for those who have not attained Nirvana, cause them to attain Nirvana; for those who have not attained the Path, cause them to attain the Path; for those who have not established the Brahmacarya, cause them to establish the Brahmacarya. Knowing, realizing, understanding, and speaking the Path, the disciples of the World Honored One, after receiving the Dharma, accepting instruction, accepting admonishment, and accepting both instruction and admonishment, follow the teachings of the World Honored One, immediately practice, attain the desired state, and are skilled in understanding the true Dharma. May the World Honored One not disapprove of my actions of body, speech, and mind.』 At that time, the World Honored One said to Shariputra: 'Shariputra! I do not disapprove of your actions of body, speech, and mind. Why is that? Shariputra! You possess intelligence, great intelligence, quick intelligence, swift intelligence, sharp intelligence, broad intelligence, deep intelligence, the intelligence of liberation, and clear intelligence. Shariputra! You have attained true wisdom. Shariputra! Just as a Chakravartin king has a crown prince, who, not disobeying the teachings, will receive the kingdom from his father and be able to pass it on. Likewise, Shariputra! The Dharma wheel that I have turned, you are also able to turn.'
。舍梨子!是故我不嫌汝身、口、意行。」
尊者舍梨子復再叉手向佛,白曰:「唯然。世尊不嫌我身、口、意行;世尊不嫌此五百比丘身、口、意行耶?」
世尊告曰:「舍梨子!我亦不嫌此五百比丘身、口、意行。所以者何?舍梨子!此五百比丘,盡得無著,諸漏已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,重擔已舍,有結已盡,而得善義正智正解脫。唯除一比丘,我亦本已記于現法中得究竟智,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。舍梨子!是故我不嫌此五百比丘身、口、意行。」
尊者舍梨子復三叉手向佛,白曰:「唯然。世尊不嫌我身、口、意行;亦不嫌此五百比丘身、口、意行。世尊!此五百比丘,幾比丘得三明達?幾比丘得俱解脫?幾比丘得慧解脫耶?」
世尊告曰:「舍梨子!此五百比丘,九十比丘得三明達,九十比丘得俱解脫,余比丘得慧解脫。舍梨子!此眾無枝無葉,亦無節戾,清凈真實,得正住立。」
爾時,尊者傍耆舍亦在眾中。於是,尊者傍耆舍即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白曰:「唯然。世尊加我威力,唯愿善逝加我威力,令我在佛及比丘眾前,以如義相應而作讚頌。」
世尊告曰:「傍耆舍!隨汝所欲
現代漢語譯本:『舍利子!因此,我不嫌棄你的身、口、意行為。』 尊者舍利子再次向佛合掌,說道:『是的,世尊不嫌棄我的身、口、意行為;世尊也不嫌棄這五百比丘的身、口、意行為嗎?』 世尊告訴他說:『舍利子!我也不嫌棄這五百比丘的身、口、意行為。為什麼呢?舍利子!這五百比丘,都已證得無執著,諸煩惱已盡,清凈的修行已建立,該做的已做完,重擔已放下,束縛已斷盡,並獲得正義、正智、正解脫。只有一位比丘除外,我也早已預記他將在現世獲得究竟的智慧,生死已盡,清凈的修行已建立,該做的已做完,不再受後有,如實知曉真理。舍利子!因此,我不嫌棄這五百比丘的身、口、意行為。』 尊者舍利子再次三次向佛合掌,說道:『是的,世尊不嫌棄我的身、口、意行為;也不嫌棄這五百比丘的身、口、意行為。世尊!這五百比丘中,有多少比丘證得三明?有多少比丘證得俱解脫?有多少比丘證得慧解脫呢?』 世尊告訴他說:『舍利子!這五百比丘中,有九十位比丘證得三明,九十位比丘證得俱解脫,其餘的比丘證得慧解脫。舍利子!這個僧團沒有枝葉,也沒有節瘤,清凈真實,得以正住。』 當時,尊者傍耆舍也在眾中。於是,尊者傍耆舍即從座位起身,偏袒著衣,向佛合掌,說道:『是的,世尊請加持我力量,唯愿善逝加持我力量,使我能在佛陀和比丘眾前,以符合正義的言辭作讚頌。』 世尊告訴他說:『傍耆舍!隨你的意願。』
English version: 『Sariputta! Therefore, I do not find fault with your actions of body, speech, and mind.』 The venerable Sariputta, having again folded his hands towards the Buddha, said: 『Yes, indeed. The Blessed One does not find fault with my actions of body, speech, and mind; does the Blessed One not find fault with the actions of body, speech, and mind of these five hundred bhikkhus?』 The Blessed One said: 『Sariputta! I also do not find fault with the actions of body, speech, and mind of these five hundred bhikkhus. Why is that? Sariputta! These five hundred bhikkhus have all attained non-attachment, their defilements are exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, the burden is laid down, the fetters are destroyed, and they have attained right meaning, right knowledge, and right liberation. Except for one bhikkhu, I have already predicted that he will attain ultimate wisdom in this very life, his birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, he will not be reborn, and he knows the truth as it is. Sariputta! Therefore, I do not find fault with the actions of body, speech, and mind of these five hundred bhikkhus.』 The venerable Sariputta, having again folded his hands towards the Buddha three times, said: 『Yes, indeed. The Blessed One does not find fault with my actions of body, speech, and mind; nor does he find fault with the actions of body, speech, and mind of these five hundred bhikkhus. Blessed One! Among these five hundred bhikkhus, how many bhikkhus have attained the three knowledges? How many bhikkhus have attained liberation in both ways? How many bhikkhus have attained liberation through wisdom?』 The Blessed One said: 『Sariputta! Among these five hundred bhikkhus, ninety bhikkhus have attained the three knowledges, ninety bhikkhus have attained liberation in both ways, and the remaining bhikkhus have attained liberation through wisdom. Sariputta! This assembly is without branches and leaves, without knots and faults, pure and true, and stands upright.』 At that time, the venerable Vangisa was also in the assembly. Then, the venerable Vangisa rose from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, folded his hands towards the Buddha, and said: 『Yes, indeed. Blessed One, please grant me power, may the Well-Gone One grant me power, so that I may offer praise in accordance with the meaning before the Buddha and the assembly of bhikkhus.』 The Blessed One said: 『Vangisa! As you wish.』
於是,尊者傍耆舍在佛及比丘眾前,以如義相應而讚頌曰:
「今十五請日, 集坐五百眾, 斷除諸結縛, 無礙有盡仙。 清凈光明照, 解脫一切有, 生老病死盡, 漏滅所作辦。 調悔及疑結, 慢有漏已盡, 拔斷愛結刺, 上醫無復有。 勇猛如師子, 一切恐畏除, 已度于生死, 諸漏已滅訖。 猶如轉輪王, 群臣所圍繞, 悉領一切地, 乃至於大海。 如是勇猛伏, 無上商人主, 弟子樂恭敬, 三達離死怖。 一切是佛子, 永除枝葉節, 轉無上法輪, 稽首第一尊。」
請請經第五竟(千一十三字)
(一二二)中阿含大品瞻波經第六(第三唸誦)
爾時,世尊月十五日說從解脫時,于比丘眾前敷座而坐。世尊坐已,即便入定,以他心智觀察眾心,觀眾心已,至初夜竟,默然而坐。於是,有一比丘即從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!初夜已訖,佛及比丘眾集坐來久,唯愿世尊說從解脫。」爾時,世尊默然不答。於是,世尊復至中夜默然而坐
於是,尊者傍耆舍在佛陀和比丘眾前,以符合正義的方式讚頌道: 『今日是十五請日,五百位僧眾聚集在此, 他們斷除了所有的束縛,是無礙且達到涅槃的聖者。 他們清凈的光明照耀,解脫了一切存在, 生老病死都已止息,煩惱滅盡,該做的都已完成。 他們調伏了悔恨和疑惑,驕慢和煩惱都已滅盡, 拔除了愛慾的毒刺,是至高無上的醫者,再也沒有更高的了。 他們勇猛如獅子,一切恐懼都已消除, 已經度過了生死輪迴,所有的煩惱都已滅盡。 猶如轉輪聖王,被群臣所圍繞, 統治著一切土地,乃至大海。 如此勇猛地降伏,是無上的商人領袖, 弟子們樂於恭敬,三明六通,遠離死亡的恐懼。 他們都是佛陀的弟子,永遠除去了枝葉和節疤, 轉動著無上的法輪,向第一尊者頂禮。』 《請請經》第五結束(一千一百一十三字) (一二二)《中阿含經·大品·瞻波經》第六(第三唸誦) 那時,世尊在月圓之日,為比丘眾宣說從解脫之道,鋪設座位而坐。世尊坐下後,便入定,以他心智觀察眾人的心念,觀察完畢后,直到初夜結束,都默然靜坐。這時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,偏袒右肩,合掌向佛陀,說道:『世尊!初夜已過,佛陀和比丘眾聚集坐在這裡很久了,唯愿世尊宣說從解脫之道。』當時,世尊默然不答。於是,世尊又到中夜時默然靜坐。
Then, the venerable Pangisha, in front of the Buddha and the assembly of monks, praised with words that accorded with righteousness: 'Today is the fifteenth day of the assembly, five hundred monks are gathered here, They have severed all bonds, they are unhindered and have attained the state of Nirvana. Their pure light shines, they are liberated from all existence, Birth, old age, sickness, and death have ceased, defilements are extinguished, what needed to be done is done. They have subdued remorse and doubt, pride and defilements are extinguished, They have uprooted the thorn of desire, they are the supreme physician, there is no higher. They are as courageous as lions, all fear has been eliminated, They have crossed the cycle of birth and death, all defilements have been extinguished. Like a wheel-turning monarch, surrounded by his ministers, Ruling over all the land, even to the great ocean. So courageously subdued, they are the supreme leaders of merchants, The disciples are happy to pay respect, with three knowledges and six supernormal powers, they are free from the fear of death. They are all disciples of the Buddha, forever removing branches and knots, Turning the supreme wheel of Dharma, bowing to the first honored one.' The fifth chapter of the 'Please Please Sutra' ends (1113 words) (122) The Sixth 'Champa Sutra' of the 'Great Chapter' of the 'Middle Length Discourses' (Third Recitation) At one time, the Buddha was wandering in Champa, residing by the bank of the Ganggā pond. Then, on the full moon day, the Blessed One, in order to speak about liberation, sat down on a seat in front of the assembly of monks. After the Blessed One sat down, he entered into meditation, observing the minds of the assembly with his mind-reading knowledge. Having observed the minds, he remained silent until the end of the first watch of the night. Then, a certain monk rose from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, and, with his hands folded, said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, the first watch of the night has passed, the Buddha and the assembly of monks have been sitting here for a long time, may the Blessed One please speak about liberation.' At that time, the Blessed One remained silent and did not answer. Then, the Blessed One remained silent and sat until the middle watch of the night.
彼一比丘再從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!初夜已過,中夜將訖,佛及比丘眾集坐來久,唯愿世尊說從解脫。」世尊亦再默然不答。於是,世尊復至后夜默然而坐。
彼一比丘三從坐起,偏袒著衣,叉手向佛,白曰:「世尊!初夜既過,中夜復訖,后夜垂盡,將向欲明,明出不久,佛及比丘眾集坐極久,唯愿世尊說從解脫。」
爾時,世尊告彼比丘:「於此眾中有一比丘已為不凈。」
彼時,尊者大目揵連亦在眾中。於是,尊者大目揵連便作是念:「世尊為何比丘而說此眾中有一比丘已為不凈?我寧可入如其像定,以如其像定他心之智觀察眾心。」
尊者大目揵連即入如其像定,以如其像定他心之智觀察眾心,尊者大目揵連便知世尊所為比丘說此眾中有一比丘已為不凈。於是,尊者大目揵連即從定起,至彼比丘前,牽臂將出,開門置外:「癡人遠去,莫於此住,不復得與比丘眾會,從今已去,非是比丘。」閉門下鑰,還詣佛所,稽首佛足,卻坐一面,白曰:「世尊所為比丘說此眾中有一比丘已為不凈者,我已逐出。世尊!初夜既過,中夜復訖,后夜垂盡,將向欲明,明出不久,佛及比丘眾集坐極久,唯愿世尊說從解脫
一位比丘再次從座位上起身,袒露右肩,雙手合十向佛陀行禮,說道:『世尊!初夜已經過去,中夜即將結束,佛陀和比丘僧眾聚集坐在這裡已經很久了,只希望世尊能開示解脫之道。』世尊仍然保持沉默,沒有回答。於是,世尊又到了后夜,仍然默然靜坐。
那位比丘第三次從座位上起身,袒露右肩,雙手合十向佛陀行禮,說道:『世尊!初夜已經過去,中夜也已結束,后夜即將結束,天快要亮了,天亮不久,佛陀和比丘僧眾聚集坐在這裡已經非常久了,只希望世尊能開示解脫之道。』
這時,世尊告訴那位比丘:『在這個僧眾中,有一位比丘已經不清凈了。』
當時,尊者大目犍連也在僧眾之中。於是,尊者大目犍連便這樣想:『世尊是為哪位比丘而說這個僧眾中有一位比丘已經不清凈呢?我應該進入如其像定,用如其像定所產生的知曉他人心智的能力來觀察眾人的心。』
尊者大目犍連立即進入如其像定,用如其像定所產生的知曉他人心智的能力來觀察眾人的心,尊者大目犍連便知道世尊所說的那個不清凈的比丘是誰。於是,尊者大目犍連立即從禪定中起身,走到那位比丘面前,抓住他的手臂將他拉出去,打開門把他放在外面:『愚癡的人,走遠點,不要在這裡待著,你不再能和比丘僧眾在一起,從今以後,你不再是比丘。』然後關上門並上鎖,回到佛陀那裡,向佛陀的腳行禮,退坐在一旁,說道:『世尊所說的那個不清凈的比丘,我已經把他趕出去了。世尊!初夜已經過去,中夜也已結束,后夜即將結束,天快要亮了,天亮不久,佛陀和比丘僧眾聚集坐在這裡已經非常久了,只希望世尊能開示解脫之道。』
一位比丘再次從座位上起身,袒露右肩,雙手合十向佛陀行禮,說道:『世尊!初夜已過,中夜將盡,佛陀和比丘僧眾聚集坐在這裡已經很久了,懇請世尊開示解脫之道。』世尊再次沉默不語。於是,世尊又到了后夜,仍然默然靜坐。
那位比丘第三次從座位上起身,袒露右肩,雙手合十向佛陀行禮,說道:『世尊!初夜已過,中夜也已結束,后夜即將結束,天快要亮了,天亮不久,佛陀和比丘僧眾聚集坐在這裡已經非常久了,懇請世尊開示解脫之道。』
這時,世尊告訴那位比丘:『在這個僧團中,有一位比丘已經不清凈了。』
當時,尊者大目犍連也在僧團之中。於是,尊者大目犍連便這樣想:『世尊是為哪位比丘而說這個僧團中有一位比丘已經不清凈呢?我應該進入如其像定,用如其像定所產生的知曉他人心智的能力來觀察眾人的心。』
尊者大目犍連立即進入如其像定,用如其像定所產生的知曉他人心智的能力來觀察眾人的心,尊者大目犍連便知道世尊所說的那個不清凈的比丘是誰。於是,尊者大目犍連立即從禪定中起身,走到那位比丘面前,抓住他的手臂將他拉出去,打開門把他放在外面:『愚癡的人,走遠點,不要在這裡待著,你不再能和比丘僧團在一起,從今以後,你不再是比丘。』然後關上門並上鎖,回到佛陀那裡,向佛陀的腳行禮,退坐在一旁,說道:『世尊所說的那個不清凈的比丘,我已經把他趕出去了。世尊!初夜已過,中夜也已結束,后夜即將結束,天快要亮了,天亮不久,佛陀和比丘僧眾聚集坐在這裡已經非常久了,懇請世尊開示解脫之道。』
Then, a certain monk rose again from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, and, with his hands clasped, addressed the Buddha, saying: 'Venerable Sir, the first watch of the night has passed, the middle watch is about to end, and the Buddha and the assembly of monks have been sitting here for a long time. We beseech the Venerable Sir to speak on the path to liberation.' The Buddha remained silent and did not answer again. Then, the Buddha remained silently seated until the last watch of the night.
That monk rose from his seat for the third time, arranged his robe over one shoulder, and, with his hands clasped, addressed the Buddha, saying: 'Venerable Sir, the first watch has passed, the middle watch has ended, the last watch is drawing to a close, and dawn is about to break. It will soon be light, and the Buddha and the assembly of monks have been sitting here for a very long time. We beseech the Venerable Sir to speak on the path to liberation.'
At that time, the Buddha said to that monk: 'Among this assembly, there is a monk who is impure.'
At that time, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana was also in the assembly. Then, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana thought: 'For which monk does the Venerable Sir say that there is an impure monk in this assembly? I should enter the concentration of suchness and, with the knowledge of others' minds gained from that concentration, observe the minds of the assembly.'
The Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana immediately entered the concentration of suchness and, with the knowledge of others' minds gained from that concentration, observed the minds of the assembly. The Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana then knew which monk the Venerable Sir was referring to as impure. Then, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana immediately rose from his meditation, went to that monk, grabbed his arm, and pulled him out, opening the door and placing him outside: 'Foolish one, go far away, do not stay here. You are no longer allowed to be with the assembly of monks, and from now on, you are no longer a monk.' Then, he closed the door and locked it, returned to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying: 'The monk whom the Venerable Sir said was impure, I have expelled him. Venerable Sir, the first watch has passed, the middle watch has ended, the last watch is drawing to a close, and dawn is about to break. It will soon be light, and the Buddha and the assembly of monks have been sitting here for a very long time. We beseech the Venerable Sir to speak on the path to liberation.'
A certain monk rose again from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, and, with his hands clasped, addressed the Buddha, saying, 'Venerable Sir, the first watch of the night has passed, the middle watch is about to end, and the Buddha and the assembly of monks have been sitting here for a long time.

世尊告曰:「大目揵連!彼愚癡人當得大罪,觸嬈世尊及比丘眾。大目揵連!若使如來在不凈眾說從解脫者,彼人則便頭破七分。是故,大目揵連!汝等從今已后說從解脫,如來不復說從解脫。所以者何?如是,大目揵連!或有癡人正知出入,善觀分別,屈申低仰,儀容庠序,善著僧伽梨及諸衣缽,行住坐臥、眠寤語默,皆正知之,似如真梵行,至諸真梵行所,彼或不知。大目揵連!若諸梵行知者,便作是念:『是沙門污,是沙門辱,是沙門憎,是沙門刺。』知已,便當共擯棄之。所以者何?莫令污染諸梵行者。

世尊告訴大目犍連:『那些愚癡的人會得到大罪,他們冒犯了世尊和比丘僧團。大目犍連,如果如來在不清凈的僧眾中說從解脫,那人就會頭破七分。所以,大目犍連,你們從今以後說從解脫,如來不再說從解脫。為什麼呢?大目犍連,有些愚癡的人,他們能正確地知道出入息,善於觀察和分辨,屈身、伸展、低頭、抬頭,儀態安詳,能好好地穿著僧伽梨和各種衣缽,行走、站立、坐臥、睡眠、清醒、說話、沉默,都能正確地知道,看起來像真正的梵行者,到了真正的梵行者那裡,他們或許並不知曉。大目犍連,如果那些梵行者知道后,就會這樣想:『這個沙門是污穢的,這個沙門是恥辱,這個沙門令人憎惡,這個沙門是刺。』知道后,就會一起把他擯棄。為什麼呢?不要讓他污染了其他梵行者。』 『大目犍連,就像居士有良田,或是麥田,長出一種草叫穢麥,它的根、莖、節、葉、花都像麥子,等到結了果實,居士看到后,就會這樣想:『這是污穢的麥子,這是令人憎惡的麥子,這是刺。』知道后,就會把它拔掉,扔到外面。為什麼呢?不要讓它污染了其他真正的好麥子。同樣,大目犍連,有些愚癡的人,他們能正確地知道出入息,善於觀察和分辨,屈身、伸展、低頭、抬頭,儀態安詳,能好好地穿著僧伽梨和各種衣缽,行走、站立、坐臥、睡眠、清醒、說話、沉默,都能正確地知道,看起來像真正的梵行者,到了真正的梵行者那裡,他們或許並不知曉。大目犍連,如果那些梵行者知道后,就會這樣想:『這個沙門是污穢的,這個沙門是恥辱,這個沙門令人憎惡,這個沙門是刺。』知道后,就會一起把他擯棄。為什麼呢?不要讓他污染了其他梵行者。』
The World Honored One said to Mahāmaudgalyāyana, 'Those foolish people will incur great demerit, they offend the World Honored One and the community of monks. Mahāmaudgalyāyana, if the Tathāgata speaks of liberation among an impure assembly, that person's head will break into seven pieces. Therefore, Mahāmaudgalyāyana, from now on, you should speak of liberation, the Tathāgata will no longer speak of liberation. Why is that? Mahāmaudgalyāyana, some foolish people are mindful of their in-breath and out-breath, they observe and discern well, they bend and stretch, lower and raise their heads, their demeanor is composed, they wear their sanghati and robes properly, their walking, standing, sitting, lying down, sleeping, waking, speaking, and silence are all done with mindfulness, they appear like true practitioners of the holy life, but when they are among true practitioners of the holy life, they may not know. Mahāmaudgalyāyana, if those practitioners of the holy life know, they will think, 『This śramaṇa is defiled, this śramaṇa is a disgrace, this śramaṇa is hateful, this śramaṇa is a thorn.』 Knowing this, they will together expel him. Why is that? So that he does not defile other practitioners of the holy life.』 『Mahāmaudgalyāyana, it is like a householder who has good rice fields or wheat fields, and a weed called darnel grows, its roots, stems, nodes, leaves, and flowers all resemble wheat, and when it bears fruit, the householder sees it and thinks, 『This is defiled wheat, this is hateful wheat, this is a thorn.』 Knowing this, he pulls it out and throws it away. Why is that? So that it does not defile the other good wheat. Likewise, Mahāmaudgalyāyana, some foolish people are mindful of their in-breath and out-breath, they observe and discern well, they bend and stretch, lower and raise their heads, their demeanor is composed, they wear their sanghati and robes properly, their walking, standing, sitting, lying down, sleeping, waking, speaking, and silence are all done with mindfulness, they appear like true practitioners of the holy life, but when they are among true practitioners of the holy life, they may not know.

Why is that? So that he does not defile other practitioners of the holy life.』
「大目揵連!猶如居士秋時揚穀,谷聚之中若有成實者,揚便止住,若不成實及秕糠者,便隨風去,居士見已,即持掃帚,掃治令凈。所以者何?莫令污雜余凈好稻。如是,大目揵連!或有癡人正知出入,善觀分別,屈伸低仰,儀容庠序,善著僧伽梨及諸衣缽,行住坐臥、眠寤語默,皆正知之,似如真梵行,至諸真梵行所,彼或不知。大目揵連!若諸梵行知者,便作是念:『是沙門污,是沙門辱,是沙門憎,是沙門刺。』知已,便當共擯棄之。所以者何?莫令污染諸梵行者。

『大目犍連!就像居士在秋天揚穀,谷堆中如果有飽滿的穀粒,揚的時候就會停留在那裡,如果是不飽滿的或者秕糠,就會隨風飄走。居士看到后,就會拿起掃帚,把它們清掃乾淨。為什麼呢?爲了不讓它們污染其他乾淨的好稻穀。同樣,大目犍連!有些人雖然表面上看起來正知出入,善於觀察分辨,屈伸低頭抬頭,儀態有序,善於穿著僧伽梨和各種衣缽,行走、站立、坐臥、睡眠、清醒、說話、沉默都表現得正知,好像是真正的梵行者,但到了真正的梵行者那裡,他們可能並不被認可。大目犍連!如果那些梵行者知道他們的真實情況,就會認為:『這個沙門是污穢的,是恥辱的,是令人憎惡的,是令人厭惡的。』知道后,就應當一起擯棄他。為什麼呢?爲了不讓這些人污染其他梵行者。 『大目犍連!就像居士爲了引水,製作水槽,拿著斧頭進入樹林,敲打樹木,如果樹木堅實,聲音就小,如果樹木空心,聲音就大。居士知道后,就會砍削樹木的節點,準備製作水槽。同樣,大目犍連!有些人雖然表面上看起來正知出入,善於觀察分辨,屈伸低頭抬頭,儀態有序,善於穿著僧伽梨和各種衣缽,行走、站立、坐臥、睡眠、清醒、說話、沉默都表現得正知,好像是真正的梵行者,但到了真正的梵行者那裡,他們可能並不被認可。大目犍連!如果那些梵行者知道他們的真實情況,就會認為:『這個沙門是污穢的,是恥辱的,是令人憎惡的,是令人厭惡的。』知道后,就應當一起擯棄他。為什麼呢?爲了不讓這些人污染其他梵行者。』 『共處時應當知道,惡欲、憎恨、嫉妒、憤怒,不說話卻結下仇恨、吝嗇,嫉妒、諂媚、欺騙、虛妄。』
'Mahamoggallana! Just as a householder winnows grain in the autumn, if there are solid grains in the pile, they will stay put when winnowed, but if they are not solid or are chaff, they will be carried away by the wind. The householder, seeing this, will take a broom and sweep them away to make it clean. Why is that? So that they do not contaminate the other clean and good rice. Likewise, Mahamoggallana! There are some foolish people who appear to be mindful in their comings and goings, are good at observing and distinguishing, bending and stretching, lowering and raising their heads, have orderly manners, are good at wearing the sanghati and other robes and bowls, and are mindful in their walking, standing, sitting, lying down, sleeping, waking, speaking, and being silent, appearing to be true practitioners of the holy life. But when they come to the true practitioners of the holy life, they may not be recognized. Mahamoggallana! If those practitioners of the holy life know their true nature, they will think: 『This samana is defiled, is a disgrace, is hateful, is an abomination.』 Knowing this, they should together cast him out. Why is that? So that they do not contaminate the other practitioners of the holy life.' 'Mahamoggallana! Just as a householder, in order to channel water, makes a water trough, takes an axe into the forest, and strikes the trees.

瞻波經第六竟(一千三百五十一字)
(一二三)中阿含大品沙門二十億經第七(第三唸誦)
爾時,尊者沙門二十億亦游舍衛國,在闇林中,前夜、后夜學習不眠,精勤正住,修習道品。於是,尊者沙門二十億安靜獨住,宴坐思惟,心作是念:「若有世尊弟子精勤學習正法、律者,我為第一,然諸漏心不得解脫。我父母家極大富樂,多有錢財,我今寧可舍戒罷道行,欲佈施修諸福業耶?」
爾時,世尊以他心智知尊者沙門二十億心之所念,便告一比丘:「汝往至彼,呼沙門二十億來。」
於是,一比丘白曰:「唯然。」即從坐起,稽首禮足,繞三匝而去,往至尊者沙門二十億所而語彼曰:「世尊呼汝!」
尊者沙門二十億聞比丘語,即詣佛所,稽首作禮,卻坐一面
在眾人面前用虛假的言辭掩蓋,在隱蔽的地方自稱是沙門,暗地裡做各種惡行,持有邪見而不加以守護。 用欺騙和虛妄的語言,應當知道他們是這樣的人,不要與他們聚集,擯棄他們,不要與他們同住。 他們欺詐和謊言很多,不是寂靜卻自稱寂靜,知道時機並具有清凈行為的人,應當擯棄並遠離他們。 清凈的人應當與清凈的人,常常和合相處,和合才能得到安穩,這樣才能到達苦的盡頭。 《瞻波經》第六完(一千三百五十一字) (一二三)《中阿含大品沙門二十億經》第七(第三唸誦) 當時,尊者沙門二十億也在舍衛國游化,住在闇林中,前夜和后夜都在學習而不睡覺,精勤地安住,修習道品。於是,尊者沙門二十億安靜地獨處,靜坐思惟,心中這樣想:『如果說世尊的弟子精勤學習正法和戒律,我算是第一了,然而心中的煩惱卻不能得到解脫。我的父母家非常富有,有很多錢財,我現在寧可捨棄戒律,放棄修行,去佈施,修各種福業嗎?』 當時,世尊以他心智知道尊者沙門二十億心中所想,便告訴一位比丘:『你到那裡去,叫沙門二十億來。』 於是,一位比丘回答說:『好的。』就從座位上站起來,向佛陀稽首禮拜,繞佛三圈后離開,前往尊者沙門二十億所在的地方,對他說:『世尊叫你!』 尊者沙門二十億聽聞比丘的話,就前往佛陀所在的地方,稽首作禮,然後坐在一旁。
They conceal themselves with false words in public, while in seclusion they call themselves 'ascetics'. They secretly commit all kinds of evil deeds, holding wrong views and not guarding themselves. They use deceitful and false language. You should know that they are like this. Do not gather with them, reject them, and do not live with them. They are full of deceit and lies, claiming to be peaceful when they are not. Those who know the right time and have pure conduct should reject and stay away from them. The pure should always live in harmony with the pure. Harmony brings peace, and in this way, one can reach the end of suffering. The sixth discourse, 'Champā Sutta', is complete (1351 words). (123) The seventh discourse, 'The Monk Twenty Billion Sutta' from the Great Chapter of the Middle Length Discourses (Third Recitation) At that time, the venerable monk Twenty Billion was also traveling in Savatthi, staying in the Dark Grove. He was studying without sleeping in the early and late hours of the night, diligently abiding, and practicing the factors of enlightenment. Then, the venerable monk Twenty Billion, being alone in quietude, sat in meditation and thought to himself: 'If there are disciples of the Blessed One who diligently study the Dharma and the Vinaya, I am the foremost. Yet, my mind is not liberated from defilements. My parents' house is very wealthy, with much money and property. Should I now give up my vows, abandon my practice, and instead give alms and perform meritorious deeds?' At that time, the Blessed One, knowing with his mind the thoughts of the venerable monk Twenty Billion, said to a certain monk: 'Go to that place and call the monk Twenty Billion to come here.' Then, a certain monk replied: 'Yes, venerable sir.' He rose from his seat, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him three times, and departed. He went to the place where the venerable monk Twenty Billion was and said to him: 'The Blessed One calls for you!' The venerable monk Twenty Billion, having heard the monk's words, went to the place where the Buddha was, bowed his head in reverence, and sat down to one side.
。世尊告曰:「沙門!汝實安靜獨住,宴坐思惟,心作是念:『若有世尊弟子精勤學習正法、律者,我為第一,然諸漏心不得解脫。我父母家極大富樂,多有錢財,我今寧可舍戒罷道行,欲佈施修諸福業耶?』」
彼時,尊者沙門二十億羞恥慚愧,則無無畏。「世尊知我心之所念。」叉手向佛,白曰:「實爾。」
世尊告曰:「沙門!我今問汝,隨所解答。于意云何?汝在家時,善調彈琴,琴隨歌音,歌隨琴音耶?」
尊者沙門二十億白曰:「如是。世尊!」
世尊復問:「于意云何?若彈琴絃急,為有和音可愛樂耶?」
沙門答曰:「不也。世尊!」
世尊復問:「于意云何?若彈琴絃緩,為有和音可愛樂耶?」
世尊復問:「于意云何?若彈琴調絃不急不緩,適得其中,為有和音可愛樂耶?」
沙門答曰:「如是。世尊!」
世尊告曰:「如是。沙門!極大精進,令心調亂;不極精進,令心懈怠。是故汝當分別此時,觀察此相,莫得放逸。」
爾時,尊者沙門二十億聞佛所說,善受善持,即從坐起,稽首佛足,繞三匝而去。受佛彈琴喻教,在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤
"現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴他說:『沙門!你確實安靜地獨自居住,靜坐思考,心裡這樣想:『如果有佛陀的弟子精勤學習正法和戒律,我算是第一,然而心中的煩惱卻無法解脫。我父母家非常富有,有很多錢財,我現在寧可捨棄戒律,放棄修行,去佈施,修各種福業嗎?』", "當時,尊者沙門二十億感到羞愧慚愧,沒有了無畏之心。『世尊知道我心裡所想。』他合掌向佛,說道:『確實如此。』", "佛陀告訴他說:『沙門!我現在問你,你隨自己的理解回答。你認為怎麼樣?你在家的時候,擅長彈琴,琴聲隨著歌聲,歌聲隨著琴聲嗎?』", "尊者沙門二十億回答說:『是的,世尊!』", "佛陀又問:『你認為怎麼樣?如果彈琴的弦繃得太緊,會有和諧動聽的音樂嗎?』", "沙門回答說:『不會的,世尊!』", "佛陀又問:『你認為怎麼樣?如果彈琴的弦鬆弛,會有和諧動聽的音樂嗎?』", "佛陀又問:『你認為怎麼樣?如果彈琴調絃不緊不松,恰到好處,會有和諧動聽的音樂嗎?』", "沙門回答說:『是的,世尊!』", "佛陀告訴他說:『是的,沙門!過於精進,會使心煩亂;不精進,會使心懈怠。所以你應該分辨時機,觀察情況,不要放縱自己。』", "當時,尊者沙門二十億聽了佛陀所說,很好地接受並記住了,立刻從座位上站起來,向佛陀的腳稽首,繞佛三圈后離開了。他接受了佛陀用彈琴比喻的教誨,在遠離喧囂的地方獨自居住,心中沒有懈怠,精勤修行。" "English version: The Blessed One said, 'Monk! You truly dwell in quiet solitude, sitting in meditation, thinking thus: "If there are disciples of the Blessed One who diligently study the Dharma and the Vinaya, I am the foremost, yet the defilements of my mind are not liberated. My parents' house is extremely wealthy, with much money and possessions. Should I now abandon the precepts and give up the path, and instead engage in giving and cultivating various meritorious deeds?"'", "At that time, the venerable monk Twenty Billion felt shame and embarrassment, and had no fearlessness. 'The Blessed One knows what is in my mind.' He clasped his hands towards the Buddha and said, 'It is so.'", "The Blessed One said, 'Monk! I will now ask you, answer as you understand. What do you think? When you were at home, were you skilled at playing the lute, with the lute's sound following the song, and the song following the lute's sound?'", "The venerable monk Twenty Billion replied, 'Yes, Blessed One!'", "The Blessed One asked again, 'What do you think? If the lute string is too tight, will there be harmonious and pleasing music?'", "The monk replied, 'No, Blessed One!'", "The Blessed One asked again, 'What do you think? If the lute string is too loose, will there be harmonious and pleasing music?'", "The Blessed One asked again, 'What do you think? If the lute string is tuned neither too tight nor too loose, just right, will there be harmonious and pleasing music?'", "The monk replied, 'Yes, Blessed One!'", "The Blessed One said, 'So it is, Monk! Excessive diligence makes the mind agitated; lack of diligence makes the mind lazy. Therefore, you should discern the right time, observe the situation, and not be negligent.'", "At that time, the venerable monk Twenty Billion, having heard what the Buddha said, received it well and kept it in mind. He immediately rose from his seat, bowed at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated the Buddha three times, and departed. Having received the Buddha's teaching through the analogy of the lute, he dwelt in solitude, away from distractions, with no negligence in his mind, and practiced diligently."
。彼在遠離獨住,心無放逸,修行精勤已,族姓子所為,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,至信、舍家,無家,學道者,唯無上梵行訖,于現法中自知自覺,自作證成就游,生已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不更受有,知如真。尊者沙門二十億知法已,至得阿羅訶。彼時,尊者沙門二十億得阿羅訶已,而作是念:「今正是時,我寧可往詣世尊所,說得究竟智耶?」
於是,尊者沙門二十億往詣佛所,稽首作禮,卻坐一面,白曰:「世尊!若有比丘得無所著,諸漏已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,重擔已舍,有結已解,自得善義,正智正解脫者,彼于爾時樂此六處,樂於無慾,樂於遠離,樂於無諍,樂於愛盡,樂於受盡,樂心不移動。世尊!或有一人而作是念:『此賢者以依信故,樂於無慾者,不應如是觀,但欲盡、恚盡、癡盡,是樂於無慾。』世尊!或有一人而作是念:『此賢者以貪利稱譽求供養故,樂於遠離者,不應如是觀,但欲盡、恚盡、癡盡,是樂於遠離。』世尊!或有一人而作是念:『此賢者以依戒故,樂於無諍者,不應如是觀,但欲盡、恚盡、癡盡,是樂於無諍,樂於愛盡,樂於受盡,樂心不移動
現代漢語譯本:他遠離塵囂,獨自居住,內心沒有絲毫懈怠,精勤修行。這位出身高貴的年輕人,剃除了鬚髮,穿上了袈裟,以堅定的信念捨棄了家庭,離開了世俗的羈絆,成爲了一名求道者。他致力於完成至高無上的梵行,在今生今世,通過自身的覺悟和實踐,親證了真理,達到了圓滿的境界。他深知自己已經斷絕了輪迴的根源,完成了梵行的修行,完成了應盡的責任,不再受後世的束縛,如實地瞭解了真諦。尊者沙門二十億在領悟了佛法之後,最終證得了阿羅漢果位。那時,尊者沙門二十億證得阿羅漢果位后,心中思忖:『現在正是時候,我應該去拜見世尊,向他稟告我所證得的究竟智慧。』 於是,尊者沙門二十億前往佛陀所在之處,恭敬地頂禮膜拜,然後退坐在一旁,稟告道:『世尊!如果有一位比丘能夠做到無所執著,斷盡了一切煩惱,完成了梵行的修行,完成了應盡的責任,放下了沉重的負擔,解脫了一切束縛,自己領悟了真諦,獲得了正智和正解脫,那麼他此時會樂於這六種境界:樂於無慾,樂於遠離,樂於無諍,樂於愛盡,樂於受盡,樂於心不為所動。世尊!或許有人會這樣想:『這位賢者之所以樂於無慾,是因為他依賴於信仰,不應該這樣看待,只有當慾望、嗔恨、愚癡都斷盡時,才是真正的樂於無慾。』世尊!或許有人會這樣想:『這位賢者之所以樂於遠離,是因為他貪圖利益、名聲、讚譽和供養,不應該這樣看待,只有當慾望、嗔恨、愚癡都斷盡時,才是真正的樂於遠離。』世尊!或許有人會這樣想:『這位賢者之所以樂於無諍,是因為他依賴於戒律,不應該這樣看待,只有當慾望、嗔恨、愚癡都斷盡時,才是真正的樂於無諍,樂於愛盡,樂於受盡,樂於心不為所動。』
English version: He, dwelling in solitude far away, with a mind free from negligence, having diligently practiced, the son of a noble family, having shaved his hair and beard, wearing the monastic robe, with faith, having left home, without a home, a seeker of the path, having completed the unsurpassed holy life, in this very life, knowing and realizing for himself, having attained and abided in the realization, birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, there is no more rebirth, knowing as it truly is. Venerable Śramaṇa Twenty Billion, having understood the Dharma, attained Arhatship. At that time, Venerable Śramaṇa Twenty Billion, having attained Arhatship, thought to himself: 『Now is the right time, I should go to the Blessed One and tell him of the ultimate wisdom I have attained?』 Then, Venerable Śramaṇa Twenty Billion went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head in reverence, sat down to one side, and said: 『Venerable Sir, if a bhikkhu has attained non-attachment, all defilements are exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, the heavy burden is cast off, the fetters are broken, he has attained the true meaning for himself, with right knowledge and right liberation, then at that time he delights in these six things: he delights in non-desire, he delights in seclusion, he delights in non-conflict, he delights in the cessation of craving, he delights in the cessation of feeling, he delights in the unmoving mind. Venerable Sir, perhaps someone might think: 『This worthy one delights in non-desire because he relies on faith, it should not be viewed like that, only when desire, hatred, and delusion are exhausted, is it true delight in non-desire.』 Venerable Sir, perhaps someone might think: 『This worthy one delights in seclusion because he is greedy for gain, fame, praise, and offerings, it should not be viewed like that, only when desire, hatred, and delusion are exhausted, is it true delight in seclusion.』 Venerable Sir, perhaps someone might think: 『This worthy one delights in non-conflict because he relies on precepts, it should not be viewed like that, only when desire, hatred, and delusion are exhausted, is it true delight in non-conflict, delight in the cessation of craving, delight in the cessation of feeling, and delight in the unmoving mind.』

'Venerable Sir, if there is a bhikkhu who is still learning, not yet having attained his goal, and who aspires to the unsurpassed secure Nirvana, then at that time he achieves the roots of learning and the precepts of learning. Later, when his outflows are exhausted and he attains the unconditioned, liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, he knows for himself in this very life, realizes and dwells having attained it, birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, the task is done, there is no more becoming, and he knows the truth as it is. Then at that time he achieves the roots of no-more-learning and the precepts of no-more-learning. Venerable Sir, just like a young child, at that time he achieves small roots and small precepts, and later when he is fully equipped with the roots of learning, then at that time he achieves the roots of learning and the precepts of learning.' 'In the same way, Venerable Sir, if there is a bhikkhu who is still learning, not yet having attained his goal, and who aspires to the unsurpassed secure Nirvana, then at that time he achieves the roots of learning and the precepts of learning.

If a color known by the eye comes into contact with the eye, it cannot cause him to lose this liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom; his mind dwells within, well-controlled and guarded, observing the law of arising and passing away. If a sound known by the ear, a smell known by the nose, a taste known by the tongue, a touch known by the body, or a mental object known by the mind comes into contact with the mind, it cannot cause him to lose this liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom; his mind dwells within, well-controlled and guarded, observing the law of arising and passing away.'
「世尊!猶去村不遠有大石山,不破不缺不脆,堅住不空合一,若東方有大風雨來,不能令搖,不動轉移;亦非東方風移至南方,若南方有大風雨來,不能令搖,不動轉移;亦非南方風移至西方,若西方有大風雨來,不能令搖,不動轉移;亦非西方風移至北方,若北方有大風雨來,不能令搖,不動轉移;亦非北方風移至諸方。如是彼若有眼所知色與對眼者,不能令失此心解脫、慧解脫,心在內住,善制守持,觀興衰法。若有耳所知聲、鼻所知香、舌所知味、身所知觸、意所知法與對意者,不能令失此心解脫、慧解脫,心在內住,善制守護,觀興衰法。」
於是,尊者沙門二十億說此頌曰:
「樂在無慾, 心存遠離, 喜于無諍, 受盡欣悅。 亦樂受盡, 心不移動, 得知如真, 從是心解。 得心解已, 比丘息根, 作已不觀, 無所求作。 猶如石山, 風不能動, 色聲香味, 身觸亦然。 愛不愛法, 不能動心。」
尊者沙門二十億于佛前說得究竟智已,即從坐起,稽首佛足,繞三匝而去
『世尊!離村子不遠的地方有一座巨大的石山,它沒有破損,沒有缺口,不脆弱,堅固地立在那裡,渾然一體。如果東方有大風雨來襲,也不能使它搖動,不會移動或轉移;也不是東方的風會轉移到南方。如果南方有大風雨來襲,也不能使它搖動,不會移動或轉移;也不是南方的風會轉移到西方。如果西方有大風雨來襲,也不能使它搖動,不會移動或轉移;也不是西方的風會轉移到北方。如果北方有大風雨來襲,也不能使它搖動,不會移動或轉移;也不是北方的風會轉移到其他方向。同樣,如果這個人有眼睛所能感知的顏色,以及與眼睛相對的事物,也不能使他失去這種心的解脫和智慧的解脫。他的心安住在內心,善於控制和守護,觀察事物興衰的規律。如果他有耳朵所能聽到的聲音、鼻子所能聞到的氣味、舌頭所能嚐到的味道、身體所能感受到的觸覺、以及意識所能感知的法,以及與意識相對的事物,也不能使他失去這種心的解脫和智慧的解脫。他的心安住在內心,善於控制和守護,觀察事物興衰的規律。』 於是,尊者沙門二十億說了這首偈語: 『快樂在於沒有慾望, 心專注于遠離塵囂, 喜歡沒有紛爭, 享受完全的喜悅。 也樂於享受這種完全的喜悅, 心不為所動, 如實地瞭解真相, 從而獲得心的解脫。 獲得心的解脫后, 比丘的感官平靜下來, 做了之後不再執著, 不再追求任何作為。 就像一座石山, 不會被風所動搖, 顏色、聲音、氣味、 身體的觸感也是如此。 喜歡或不喜歡的事物, 都不能動搖他的心。』 尊者沙門二十億在佛陀面前說完這些獲得究竟智慧的話后,就從座位上站起來,向佛陀的腳稽首,繞佛三圈后離開了。
'Venerable Sir! Not far from the village, there is a great stone mountain, unbroken, without gaps, not fragile, standing firm and unified. If a great wind and rain come from the east, it cannot make it shake, it will not move or shift; nor will the eastern wind move to the south. If a great wind and rain come from the south, it cannot make it shake, it will not move or shift; nor will the southern wind move to the west. If a great wind and rain come from the west, it cannot make it shake, it will not move or shift; nor will the western wind move to the north. If a great wind and rain come from the north, it cannot make it shake, it will not move or shift; nor will the northern wind move to any other direction. Likewise, if a person has colors known by the eye and things that are opposite to the eye, they cannot make him lose this liberation of mind and liberation of wisdom. His mind dwells within, well-controlled and guarded, observing the law of rise and fall. If he has sounds known by the ear, smells known by the nose, tastes known by the tongue, touches known by the body, and dharmas known by the mind, and things that are opposite to the mind, they cannot make him lose this liberation of mind and liberation of wisdom. His mind dwells within, well-controlled and guarded, observing the law of rise and fall.' Then, the venerable monk Twenty Billion spoke this verse: 'Joy lies in the absence of desire, The mind focuses on being far away, Delights in the absence of strife, Fully enjoys the pleasure. Also delights in enjoying this complete pleasure, The mind does not move, Knowing the truth as it is, From this, the mind is liberated. Having obtained the liberation of mind, The monk's senses are calmed, Having done, he no longer clings, No longer seeks any action. Like a stone mountain, Unmoved by the wind, Colors, sounds, smells, Bodily touches are the same. Things that are liked or disliked, Cannot move his mind.' After the venerable monk Twenty Billion spoke these words of ultimate wisdom before the Buddha, he rose from his seat, bowed at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated the Buddha three times, and departed.
爾時,世尊,尊者沙門二十億去後不久,告諸比丘:「諸族姓子!應如是來於我前說得究竟智,如沙門二十億來於我前說得究竟智,不自譽,不慢他,說義現法隨諸處也;莫令如癡增上慢所纏,來於我前說得究竟智,彼不得義,但大煩勞。沙門二十億來於我前說得究竟智,不自譽,不慢他,說義現法隨諸處也。」
沙門二十億經第七竟(一千七百三十九字)
(一二四)中阿含大品八難經第八(第三唸誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「人行梵行而有八難、八非時也。云何為八?若時如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐,出世說法,趣向止息,趣向滅訖,趣向覺道,為善逝所演。彼人爾時生地獄中。是謂人行梵行第一難、第一非時。
「複次,若時如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐,出世說法,趣向止息,趣向滅訖,趣向覺道,為善逝所演
那時,世尊在尊者沙門二十億離開后不久,告訴眾比丘:『各位族姓子!你們應當像沙門二十億那樣來到我面前說自己已獲得究竟智慧,不自我誇耀,不輕慢他人,所說之義符合正法,隨處都能顯現;不要像那些被愚癡和增上慢所纏縛的人,來到我面前說自己已獲得究竟智慧,他們不能理解真義,只會徒增煩惱。沙門二十億來到我面前說自己已獲得究竟智慧,不自我誇耀,不輕慢他人,所說之義符合正法,隨處都能顯現。』 佛陀如此說道。眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 沙門二十億經第七結束(一千七百三十九字) (一二四)中阿含大品八難經第八(第三唸誦) 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『人們修行梵行會有八種困難、八種非時。哪八種呢?如果當如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成就、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊,出世說法,引導人們走向止息,走向滅盡,走向覺悟之道,為善逝所宣說之時。那人卻在那時生於地獄之中。這就是人們修行梵行的第一種困難、第一種非時。 『再者,如果當如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成就、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊,出世說法,引導人們走向止息,走向滅盡,走向覺悟之道,為善逝所宣說之時。
At that time, the World-Honored One, not long after the venerable Śramaṇa Twenty Billion had departed, addressed the monks: 'Sons of good families! You should come before me and declare that you have attained ultimate wisdom, just as Śramaṇa Twenty Billion did, without praising yourselves or belittling others, speaking of the meaning that is in accordance with the Dharma and manifest in all places. Do not let those who are entangled by ignorance and excessive pride come before me and declare that they have attained ultimate wisdom; they will not understand the true meaning, but will only increase their troubles. Śramaṇa Twenty Billion came before me and declared that he had attained ultimate wisdom, without praising himself or belittling others, speaking of the meaning that is in accordance with the Dharma and manifest in all places.' The Buddha spoke thus. The monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The Seventh Discourse on Śramaṇa Twenty Billion ends (1739 words) (124) The Eighth Discourse on the Eight Difficulties from the Middle Āgama, Great Chapter (Third Recitation) At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks: 'There are eight difficulties and eight inopportune times for people practicing the holy life. What are the eight? If, at a time when the Tathāgata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Guide of those to be tamed, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, the Buddha, the Blessed One, appears in the world and teaches the Dharma, leading towards cessation, towards extinction, towards the path of awakening, as proclaimed by the Well-Gone One, that person is born in hell at that time. This is the first difficulty and the first inopportune time for people practicing the holy life.' 'Furthermore, if, at a time when the Tathāgata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Guide of those to be tamed, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, the Buddha, the Blessed One, appears in the world and teaches the Dharma, leading towards cessation, towards extinction, towards the path of awakening, as proclaimed by the Well-Gone One.
。彼人爾時生畜生中,生餓鬼中,生長壽天中,生在邊國夷狄之中,無信無恩,無有反覆,若無比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷。是謂人行梵行第五難、第五非時。
「複次,若時如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐,出世說法,趣向止息,趣向滅訖,趣向覺道,為善逝所演。彼人爾時雖生中國,而聾啞如羊鳴,常以手語,不能知說善惡之義。是謂人行梵行第六難、第六非時。
「複次,若時如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐,出世說法,趣向止息,趣向滅訖,趣向覺道,為善逝所演。彼人爾時雖生中國,不聾、不啞、不如羊鳴,不以手語,又能知說善惡之義,然有邪見及顛倒見,如是見、如是說:『無施、無齋,無有咒說,無善惡業,無善惡業報,無此世彼世,無父無母,世無真人往至善處、善去、善向,此世彼世自知自覺,自作證成就游。』是謂人行梵行第七難、第七非時。
「複次,若時如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐,不出於世,亦不說法,趣向止息,趣向滅訖,趣向覺道,為善逝所演
現代漢語譯本:那個人那時會投生到畜生道中,投生到餓鬼道中,投生到長壽天中,投生到邊遠地區的蠻夷之中,他們沒有信仰,沒有恩義,沒有反覆無常,不像是比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷。這被稱為人修行梵行的第五種困難、第五種非時。 現代漢語譯本:再者,如果當如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成就、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊,出世說法,引導人們走向止息,走向滅盡,走向覺悟之道,這是善逝所宣說的。那個人那時雖然生在中原地區,卻像羊一樣鳴叫,又聾又啞,常常用手勢表達,不能理解善惡的意義。這被稱為人修行梵行的第六種困難、第六種非時。 現代漢語譯本:再者,如果當如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成就、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊,出世說法,引導人們走向止息,走向滅盡,走向覺悟之道,這是善逝所宣說的。那個人那時雖然生在中原地區,不聾不啞,不像羊一樣鳴叫,不用手勢表達,也能理解善惡的意義,然而卻有邪見和顛倒見,像這樣見解、這樣說:『沒有佈施,沒有齋戒,沒有咒語,沒有善惡業,沒有善惡業報,沒有今生來世,沒有父親母親,世上沒有真人能夠到達善處、善去、善向,今生來世都是自己知道自己覺悟,自己作證成就而遊歷。』這被稱為人修行梵行的第七種困難、第七種非時。 現代漢語譯本:再者,如果當如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成就、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號佛、世尊,沒有出世,也沒有說法,引導人們走向止息,走向滅盡,走向覺悟之道,這是善逝所宣說的。
English version: That person at that time would be born among animals, born among hungry ghosts, born in long-lived heavens, born among barbarians in border countries, without faith, without gratitude, without constancy, not like a bhikkhu, bhikkhuni, upasaka, or upasika. This is called the fifth difficulty and the fifth untimely occasion for a person to practice the Brahma-faring. English version: Furthermore, if at the time when the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Guide of those to be trained, the Teacher of gods and humans, known as the Buddha, the Blessed One, appears in the world and teaches the Dharma, leading towards cessation, towards extinction, towards the path of awakening, as proclaimed by the Well-Gone One. That person at that time, although born in the central country, is deaf and dumb, like a bleating sheep, often using hand gestures, unable to understand the meaning of good and evil. This is called the sixth difficulty and the sixth untimely occasion for a person to practice the Brahma-faring. English version: Furthermore, if at the time when the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Guide of those to be trained, the Teacher of gods and humans, known as the Buddha, the Blessed One, appears in the world and teaches the Dharma, leading towards cessation, towards extinction, towards the path of awakening, as proclaimed by the Well-Gone One. That person at that time, although born in the central country, is neither deaf nor dumb, does not bleat like a sheep, does not use hand gestures, and is able to understand the meaning of good and evil, yet has wrong views and inverted views, holding such views and saying: 'There is no giving, no offering, no incantation, no good or bad deeds, no results of good or bad deeds, no this world or the next, no father or mother, there are no true people in the world who can reach good places, go well, or proceed well, this world and the next are known and realized by oneself, one achieves self-realization and wanders.' This is called the seventh difficulty and the seventh untimely occasion for a person to practice the Brahma-faring. English version: Furthermore, if at the time when the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Guide of those to be trained, the Teacher of gods and humans, known as the Buddha, the Blessed One, does not appear in the world, nor teach the Dharma, leading towards cessation, towards extinction, towards the path of awakening, as proclaimed by the Well-Gone One.
。彼人爾時生於中國,不聾、不啞、不如羊鳴,不以手語,又能知說善惡之義,而有正見、不顛倒見,如是見、如是說:『有施、有齋,亦有咒說,有善惡業,有善惡業報,有此世彼世,有父有母,世有真人往至善處、善去、善向,此世彼世自知自覺,自作證成就游。』是謂人行梵行第八難、第八非時。
「人行梵行有一不難、有一是時。云何人行梵行有一不難、有一是時?若時如來、無所著、等正覺、明行成為、善逝、世間解、無上士、道法御、天人師,號佛、眾祐,出世說法,趣向止息,趣向滅訖,趣向覺道,為善逝所演。彼人爾時生於中國,不聾、不啞、不如羊鳴,不以手語,又能知說善惡之義,而有正見、不顛倒見,如是見、如是說:『有施、有齋,亦有咒說,有善惡業,有善惡業報,有此世彼世,有父有母,世有真人往至善處、善去、善向,此世彼世自知自覺,自作證成就游。』是謂人行梵行有一不難、有一是時。」
「若得人身者, 說最微妙法, 若有不得果, 必不遇其時。 多說梵行難, 人在於後世, 若得遇其時, 是世中甚難。 欲得復人身, 及聞微妙法, 當以精勤學, 人自哀愍故
現代漢語譯本:那個人當時出生在中國,不聾、不啞、不似羊叫,不用手語,又能理解並講述善惡的道理,並且有正確的見解,沒有顛倒的見解,像這樣看待,像這樣講述:『有佈施、有齋戒,也有咒語,有善惡的行為,有善惡行為的報應,有今生來世,有父親母親,世上有修行的人前往善處、善去、善向,今生來世自己知道、自己覺悟,自己作證成就而遊歷。』這被稱為人修行梵行的第八種困難、第八種非時。 『人修行梵行有一種不困難、有一種是時機。』什麼叫做人修行梵行有一種不困難、有一種是時機呢?如果這時如來、無所執著、等正覺、明行圓滿、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師,號為佛、世尊,出世說法,導向止息,導向滅盡,導向覺悟之道,為善逝所宣說。那個人當時出生在中國,不聾、不啞、不似羊叫,不用手語,又能理解並講述善惡的道理,並且有正確的見解,沒有顛倒的見解,像這樣看待,像這樣講述:『有佈施、有齋戒,也有咒語,有善惡的行為,有善惡行為的報應,有今生來世,有父親母親,世上有修行的人前往善處、善去、善向,今生來世自己知道、自己覺悟,自己作證成就而遊歷。』這被稱為人修行梵行有一種不困難、有一種是時機。」 『如果得到人身, 能說最微妙的法, 如果不能得到果報, 必定不會遇到那個時機。 多數人說修行梵行很難, 人在後世, 如果能遇到那個時機, 在世間是極其困難的。 想要再次得到人身, 以及聽聞微妙的法, 應當精勤學習, 因為人自己應該憐憫自己。』
English version: At that time, that person was born in China, not deaf, not mute, not like the bleating of a sheep, not using sign language, and able to understand and speak about the meaning of good and evil. They also had right views, not inverted views, seeing and speaking thus: 『There is giving, there is fasting, there are also incantations, there are good and evil actions, there are the consequences of good and evil actions, there is this world and the next, there are fathers and mothers, and there are true people in the world who go to good places, go well, and head well. They know and are aware of this world and the next, and they travel having achieved self-realization.』 This is called the eighth difficulty and the eighth inopportune time for a person practicing the Brahma-faring. 『There is one non-difficulty and one opportune time for a person practicing the Brahma-faring.』 What is meant by one non-difficulty and one opportune time for a person practicing the Brahma-faring? If at that time the Tathagata, the unattached, the fully enlightened one, perfect in knowledge and conduct, the well-gone one, the knower of the world, the unsurpassed one, the tamer of men, the teacher of gods and humans, called the Buddha, the Blessed One, appears in the world to teach the Dharma, leading to cessation, leading to extinction, leading to the path of awakening, as proclaimed by the Well-Gone One.

They know and are aware of this world and the next, and they travel having achieved self-realization.』 This is called one non-difficulty and one opportune time for a person practicing the Brahma-faring.』 『If one obtains a human body, And can speak the most subtle Dharma, If one cannot obtain the fruit, One will certainly not encounter that time. Many say that practicing the Brahma-faring is difficult, People in the future, If one can encounter that time, It is extremely difficult in this world. Wanting to obtain a human body again, And to hear the subtle Dharma, One should diligently learn, Because people should have compassion for themselves.』
談說聞善法, 莫令失其時, 若失此時者, 必憂墮地獄。 若不遇其時, 不聞說善法, 如商人失財, 受生死無量。 若有得人身, 聞說正善法, 遵奉世尊教, 必遭遇其時。 若遭遇此時, 堪任正梵行, 成就無上眼, 日親之所說。 彼為常自護, 進行離諸使, 斷滅一切結, 降魔魔眷屬, 彼度於世間, 謂得盡諸漏。」
八難經第八竟(一千三十三字)
(一二五)中阿含大品貧窮經第九(第三唸誦)
爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「世有欲人貧窮,為大苦耶?」
諸比丘白曰:「爾也。世尊!」
世尊復告諸比丘曰:「若有欲人貧窮舉貸他家財物,世中舉貸他家財物,為大苦耶?」
世尊復告諸比丘曰:「若有欲人舉貸財物,不得時還,白曰:『長息。』世中長息,為大苦耶?」
世尊復告諸比丘曰:「若有欲人長息不還,財主責索,世中財主責索,為大苦耶?」
諸比丘白曰:「爾也
應當談論和聽聞善法,不要錯過時機。 如果錯失了這個時機,必定會憂慮墮入地獄。 如果沒有遇到那個時機,沒有聽聞到善法, 就像商人失去了財富一樣,會遭受無量的生死輪迴。 如果有人得到了人身,聽聞到正善的佛法, 遵循世尊的教誨,必定會遇到那個時機。 如果遇到了這個時機,就能夠修行清凈的梵行, 成就無上的智慧之眼,這是太陽(佛陀)所說的。 這樣的人常常自我守護,修行遠離各種煩惱, 斷滅一切的束縛,降伏魔王和魔的眷屬, 他們能夠度脫世間,被稱為已經斷盡了一切煩惱。 《八難經》第八章結束(一千零三十三個字) (一二五)《中阿含經》大品《貧窮經》第九(第三次誦讀) 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『世間有人因為貧窮而感到痛苦,這是很大的苦嗎?』 眾比丘回答說:『是的,世尊!』 世尊又告訴眾比丘說:『如果有人因為貧窮而向別人借貸財物,在世間借貸別人的財物,這是很大的苦嗎?』 世尊又告訴眾比丘說:『如果有人借貸財物,不能按時償還,債主說:『增加利息。』在世間增加利息,這是很大的苦嗎?』 世尊又告訴眾比丘說:『如果有人增加利息仍然不能償還,債主前來責索,在世間債主責索,這是很大的苦嗎?』
One should discuss and hear the good Dharma, and not let the time be missed. If this time is missed, one will surely worry about falling into hell. If one does not encounter that time, and does not hear the good Dharma being spoken, it is like a merchant who has lost his wealth, and will suffer endless cycles of birth and death. If someone obtains a human body, and hears the true and good Dharma being spoken, and follows the teachings of the World Honored One, they will surely encounter that time. If one encounters this time, one will be able to practice pure conduct, and achieve the unsurpassed eye of wisdom, which is what the Sun (Buddha) has spoken. Such a person constantly protects themselves, practices to be free from all defilements, cuts off all bonds, and subdues the demon king and his retinue, they are able to cross over the world, and are said to have exhausted all outflows. The eighth chapter of the 'Sufferings' Sutra ends (one thousand and thirty-three words). (125) The ninth 'Poverty' Sutra of the Great Chapter of the Middle Agama (Third Recitation) At that time, the World Honored One said to the monks: 'Is it a great suffering for a person in the world to be poor?' The monks replied: 'Yes, World Honored One!' The World Honored One again said to the monks: 'If a person, because of poverty, borrows money from others, is it a great suffering to borrow money from others in the world?' The World Honored One again said to the monks: 'If a person borrows money and cannot repay it on time, and the lender says, 'Increase the interest,' is it a great suffering to increase the interest in the world?' The World Honored One again said to the monks: 'If a person still cannot repay the debt even with increased interest, and the lender comes to demand it, is it a great suffering for the lender to demand it in the world?'
世尊復告諸比丘曰:「若有欲人財主責索,不能得償,財主數往至彼求索,世中財主數往至彼求索,為大苦耶?」
世尊復告諸比丘曰:「若有欲人,財主數往至彼求索,彼故不還,便為財主之所收縛,世中為財主收縛,為大苦耶?」
「是為世中有欲人貧窮是大苦,世中有欲人舉貸財物是大苦,世中有欲人舉貸長息是大苦,世中有欲人財主責索是大苦,世中有欲人財主數往至彼求索是大苦,世中有欲人為財主收縛是大苦。如是若有於此聖法之中,無信于善法,無禁戒、無博聞、無佈施、無智慧于善法,彼雖多有金、銀、琉璃、水精、摩尼、白珂、螺璧、珊瑚、琥珀、碼瑙、玳𤦛、硨渠、碧玉、赤石、琁珠,然彼故貧窮,無有力勢,是我聖法中說不善貧窮也。
「彼身惡行,口、意惡行,是我聖法中說不善舉貸也。彼欲覆藏身之惡行,不自發露,不欲道說,不欲令人訶責,不順求,欲覆藏口、意惡行,不自發露,不欲道說,不欲令人訶責,不順求,是我聖法中說不善長息也。彼或行村邑及村邑外,諸梵行者見已,便作是說:『諸賢!此人如是作、如是行、如是惡、如是不凈,是村邑刺
世尊又告訴眾比丘說:『如果有人欠了債主的錢,無法償還,債主多次上門討債,這在世間是很大的痛苦嗎?』 世尊又告訴眾比丘說:『如果有人,債主多次上門討債,他仍然不還,就被債主抓起來,這在世間被債主抓起來,是很大的痛苦嗎?』 『這就是世間有慾望的人貧窮是很大的痛苦,世間有慾望的人借貸財物是很大的痛苦,世間有慾望的人借貸高利貸是很大的痛苦,世間有慾望的人被債主討債是很大的痛苦,世間有慾望的人被債主多次上門討債是很大的痛苦,世間有慾望的人被債主抓起來是很大的痛苦。如果有人在這神聖的佛法中,不相信善法,沒有戒律,沒有廣博的知識,沒有佈施,沒有智慧去理解善法,即使他有很多金、銀、琉璃、水晶、摩尼、白珂、螺璧、珊瑚、琥珀、瑪瑙、玳瑁、硨磲、碧玉、赤石、璇珠,他仍然是貧窮的,沒有力量,這是我在神聖的佛法中所說的『不善的貧窮』。 『他身體的惡行,口和意念的惡行,這是我在神聖的佛法中所說的『不善的借貸』。他想要掩蓋身體的惡行,不自己揭露,不想說出來,不想讓人責備,不順從要求,想要掩蓋口和意念的惡行,不自己揭露,不想說出來,不想讓人責備,不順從要求,這是我在神聖的佛法中所說的『不善的高利貸』。他如果行走在村莊或村莊外,其他修行者看到后,就會這樣說:『各位賢者!這個人是這樣做的,是這樣行的,是這樣邪惡的,是這樣不乾淨的,是村莊的禍害』。
The Blessed One further said to the monks: 『If a person who desires wealth is in debt and cannot repay it, and the creditor repeatedly comes to him seeking repayment, is this a great suffering in the world?』 The monks replied: 『Yes, Venerable Sir!』 The Blessed One further said to the monks: 『If a person, with the creditor repeatedly coming to him seeking repayment, still does not repay, and is then seized by the creditor, is being seized by the creditor a great suffering in the world?』 『This is why, in the world, a person with desires being poor is a great suffering; in the world, a person with desires borrowing wealth is a great suffering; in the world, a person with desires borrowing at high interest is a great suffering; in the world, a person with desires being pursued by a creditor is a great suffering; in the world, a person with desires having a creditor repeatedly come to him seeking repayment is a great suffering; in the world, a person with desires being seized by a creditor is a great suffering. If someone in this sacred Dharma has no faith in good teachings, no precepts, no extensive learning, no generosity, and no wisdom in understanding good teachings, even if they have much gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, mani jewels, white coral, conch shells, coral, amber, agate, tortoise shell, giant clam, jade, red stone, and pearls, they are still poor and powerless. This is what I call 『unwholesome poverty』 in my sacred Dharma.』 『Their evil actions of body, speech, and mind are what I call 『unwholesome borrowing』 in my sacred Dharma. They wish to conceal their evil actions of body, not revealing them themselves, not wanting to speak of them, not wanting others to rebuke them, not complying with requests; they wish to conceal their evil actions of speech and mind, not revealing them themselves, not wanting to speak of them, not wanting others to rebuke them, not complying with requests. This is what I call 『unwholesome high interest』 in my sacred Dharma. If they walk in or outside the village, other practitioners, seeing them, will say: 『Friends! This person does such things, acts in such a way, is so evil, so impure, and is a thorn in the village.』
。』彼作是說:『諸賢!我不如是作、不如是行、不如是惡、不如是不凈,亦非村邑刺,是我聖法中說不善責索也。』
「彼或在無事處,或在山林樹下,或在空閑居,念三不善念:慾念、恚念、害念,是我聖法中說不善數往求索也。彼作身惡行,口、意惡行,彼作身惡行,口、意惡行已,因此緣此,身壞命終,必至惡處,生地獄中,是我聖法中說不善收縛也。我不見縛更有如是苦、如是重、如是粗、如是不可樂,如地獄、畜生、餓鬼縛也。此三苦縛,漏盡阿羅訶比丘已知滅盡,拔其根本,永無來生。」
「世間貧窮苦, 舉貸他錢財, 舉貸錢財已, 他責為苦惱。 財主往求索, 因此收繫縛, 此縛甚重苦, 世間樂於欲。 于聖法亦然, 若無有正信, 無慚及無愧, 作惡不善行。 身作不善行, 口意俱亦然, 覆藏不欲說, 不樂正教訶。 若有數數行, 意念則為苦, 或村或靜處, 因是必有悔。 身口習諸行, 及意之所念, 惡業轉增多, 數數作復作。 彼惡業無慧, 多作不善已, 隨所生畢訖, 必往地獄縛。 此縛最甚苦, 雄猛之所離, 如法得財利, 不負得安隱
"現代漢語譯本:他這樣說:『諸位賢者!我不是那樣做的,不是那樣行的,不是那樣邪惡的,不是那樣不凈的,也不是村邑的刺,這是我聖法中所說的不善責索。』", "他或者在無事的地方,或者在山林樹下,或者在空閑的居所,思念三種不善的念頭:慾念、恚念、害念,這是我聖法中所說的不善數數追求。他造作身惡行,口惡行,意惡行,他造作身惡行,口惡行,意惡行之後,因此緣故,身壞命終,必定會到惡處,生在地獄中,這是我聖法中所說的不善收縛。我沒有見過束縛有像這樣苦、這樣重、這樣粗、這樣不可樂的,像地獄、畜生、餓鬼的束縛。這三種苦的束縛,漏盡的阿羅漢比丘已經知道滅盡,拔除了它的根本,永遠不會再有來生。」 , "於是,世尊說了這首偈頌:", "『世間貧窮困苦,舉債借他人的錢財,", "借了錢財之後,他人責求是苦惱。", "債主前往索取,因此被收系束縛,", "這種束縛非常痛苦,世間人卻樂於慾望。", "在聖法中也是這樣,如果沒有正信,", "沒有慚愧和羞恥,就造作惡的不善行為。", "身體造作不善的行為,口和意也是這樣,", "掩蓋起來不願說,不樂意接受正教的呵責。", "如果常常這樣做,意念就會感到痛苦,", "無論在村莊還是在安靜的地方,因此必定會有後悔。", "身體和口習慣於各種行為,以及意念所想的,", "惡業會轉而增多,常常做又做。", "他因為惡業沒有智慧,做了很多不善的事情之後,", "隨著所生之處結束,必定會到地獄的束縛。", "這種束縛最是痛苦,雄猛的人已經脫離了它,", "如法獲得財富利益,不負債就能得到安穩。』" "English version: He says, 'Friends, I do not act like that, I do not behave like that, I am not so evil, I am not so impure, nor am I a thorn in the village. This is what is called an unwholesome demand in my holy Dharma.'", "He, either in a secluded place, or under a tree in the forest, or in an empty dwelling, contemplates three unwholesome thoughts: desire, hatred, and harm. This is what is called an unwholesome seeking in my holy Dharma. He commits evil deeds with his body, speech, and mind. Having committed evil deeds with his body, speech, and mind, because of this, when his body breaks up and he dies, he will surely go to a bad place and be born in hell. This is what is called an unwholesome binding in my holy Dharma. I have not seen a binding that is as painful, as heavy, as coarse, and as unpleasant as the binding of hell, animals, and hungry ghosts. These three painful bindings are known to be completely destroyed by the Arahant bhikkhu who has eradicated all defilements, uprooted their cause, and will never be reborn.", "Then, the Blessed One spoke this verse:", "'The world is poor and suffering, borrowing money from others,", "Having borrowed money, being demanded by others is suffering.", "The creditor goes to demand, and thus one is bound and tied,", "This binding is very painful, yet the world delights in desires.", "It is the same in the holy Dharma, if there is no right faith,", "Without shame and without remorse, one commits evil and unwholesome deeds.", "The body commits unwholesome deeds, and so do the mouth and mind,", "Concealing them and not wanting to speak, not delighting in the rebuke of the true teaching.", "If one does this often, the mind will feel pain,", "Whether in a village or in a quiet place, there will surely be regret.", "The body and mouth are accustomed to various actions, and the mind's thoughts,", "Evil deeds will increase, doing them again and again.", "He, because of evil deeds, has no wisdom, and after doing many unwholesome things,", "Following where he is born, he will surely go to the binding of hell.", "This binding is the most painful, the valiant have escaped it,", "Having obtained wealth and benefit lawfully, one is secure without debt.'"
施與得歡喜, 二俱皆獲利, 如是諸居士, 因施福增多。 如是聖法中, 若有好誠信, 具足成慚愧, 庶幾無慳貪。 已舍離五蓋, 常樂行精進, 成就諸禪定, 滿具常棄樂。 已得無食樂, 猶如水浴凈, 不動心解脫, 一切有結盡。 無病為涅槃, 謂之無上燈, 無憂無塵安, 是說不移動。」

(一二六)大品行欲經第十(第三唸誦)
爾時,給孤獨居士往詣佛所,𥡳首佛足,卻坐一面,白曰:「世尊!世中為有幾人行欲?」
世尊告曰:「居士!世中凡有十人行欲。云何為十?居士,有一行欲人,非法無道求索財物,彼非法無道求財物已,不自養安隱及父母、妻子、奴婢、作使,亦不供養沙門、梵志,令升上與樂俱而受樂報,生天長壽。如是有一行欲人也
給予和獲得都令人歡喜,雙方都能從中獲利。 像這樣的居士,因為佈施而福報增多。 像這樣的聖法中,如果具有良好的誠信, 具備慚愧之心,大概就不會有慳吝貪婪。 已經捨棄了五蓋,常常樂於修行精進, 成就各種禪定,圓滿地捨棄世俗的快樂。 已經獲得了無食的快樂,就像沐浴后清凈一樣, 不動搖的心解脫,一切煩惱的束縛都已斷盡。 無病是涅槃,被稱為無上的明燈, 沒有憂愁沒有塵埃的安寧,這就是所謂的不動搖。

當時,給孤獨居士前往佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足,然後坐在一旁,說道:『世尊!世間有多少人行欲?』
世尊告訴他說:『居士!世間共有十種人行欲。哪十種呢?居士,有一種行欲的人,用非法不正當的手段求取財物,他用非法不正當的手段求得財物后,不自己享用安樂,也不供養父母、妻子、奴婢、僕人,也不供養沙門、婆羅門,使他們得到提升,與快樂相伴而受樂報,生到天上長壽。像這樣就是一種行欲的人。』
Giving and receiving bring joy, and both parties benefit. Such lay practitioners, through giving, increase their blessings. In such a sacred Dharma, if one possesses good faith, And is filled with a sense of shame, they will likely be free from stinginess and greed. Having abandoned the five hindrances, they constantly delight in practicing diligence, Achieving various meditative states, fully abandoning worldly pleasures. Having attained the joy of non-eating, like being cleansed after a bath, With an unshakeable mind, they are liberated, and all fetters of affliction are exhausted. Freedom from illness is Nirvana, called the supreme lamp, Peace without sorrow and without defilement, this is what is meant by unshakeable.
Thus spoke the Buddha. Those monks, having heard the Buddha's words, joyfully practiced them.

(126) The Tenth Discourse on Great Practice of Desire (Third Recitation)
Then, the lay practitioner Anathapindika went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat to one side, saying: 'Venerable Sir, how many people in the world engage in desire?'
The World-Honored One said: 'Lay practitioner, there are ten types of people in the world who engage in desire. What are the ten? Lay practitioner, there is one type of person who engages in desire, who seeks wealth through unlawful and unrighteous means. Having obtained wealth through unlawful and unrighteous means, they do not use it to support themselves in comfort, nor their parents, wife, children, slaves, or servants. Nor do they offer it to ascetics or Brahmins, so that they may be elevated, enjoy happiness, and receive the reward of happiness, and be reborn in heaven with long life. This is one type of person who engages in desire.'

English version: 'Householder! If there is a person who desires, who seeks wealth through unlawful or unrighteous means, and having obtained wealth through unlawful means, uses it to support themselves and live comfortably, as well as their parents, wife, servants, and laborers, and also makes offerings to ascetics and Brahmins, enabling them to ascend to higher realms, enjoy happiness, and receive the rewards of happiness, ultimately being reborn in heaven and living long lives, then this person, though desiring, is the most excellent among all those who desire.' 'Householder! If there is a person who desires, who seeks wealth through lawful and righteous means, and having obtained wealth through lawful means, uses it to support themselves and live comfortably, as well as their parents, wife, servants, and laborers, and also makes offerings to ascetics and Brahmins, enabling them to ascend to higher realms, enjoy happiness, and receive the rewards of happiness, ultimately being reborn in heaven and living long lives. Having obtained wealth, they are not attached, not greedy, not bound, not entangled, not becoming attached after being entangled, they see the dangers of wealth, understand the importance of liberation from the bondage of wealth, and use wealth wisely. Then this person, though desiring, is the most first, the greatest, the highest, the most victorious, the most honored, and the most wonderful among all those who desire. Just as from milk comes cream, from cream comes curd, from curd comes fresh butter, from fresh butter comes ghee, and from ghee comes clarified butter, and clarified butter is the most first, the greatest, the highest, the most victorious, the most honored, and the most wonderful of all these. Likewise, householder! This person, though desiring, is the most first, the greatest, the highest, the most victorious, the most honored, and the most wonderful among all those who desire.' 'If one seeks wealth through unlawful means, or through a mixture of lawful and unlawful means, and neither makes offerings nor uses it for oneself, nor uses it for giving and accumulating merit, both of these are bad, and are the worst among those who desire. If one seeks wealth through lawful means, obtained through one's own hard work, and uses it to make offerings to others and for oneself, and also uses it for giving and accumulating merit, both of these are good, and are the best among those who desire. If one can obtain the wisdom to be free from desire, even while desiring, one can still live at home, see the dangers of wealth, know contentment, and use wealth sparingly, then this person has obtained the wisdom to be free from desire, and is the most excellent among those who desire.'
