佛說八關齋經

宋居士沮渠京聲譯

聞如是：

一時，婆伽婆在舍衛城祇樹給孤獨園。爾時，世尊告諸比丘：「我今當說聖八關齋。諦聽諦聽，善思念之，我今當說。」對曰：「如是世尊！」爾時，彼比丘從佛受教。

世尊告曰：「於是比丘！若信族姓子族姓女，欲知聖八關齋，便教某甲當作是說：『猶如阿羅漢，盡形壽不殺生，亦不教人殺生，無怨恨心當懷慚愧，有慈心愍一切眾生。我字某名某，為阿羅漢所教，自今日始，隨意所欲不復殺生，無怨恨心常懷慚愧，有慈心愍一切眾生。猶如阿羅漢，盡形壽不盜、好施，亦不教人盜，常樂閑處。如是我字某名某，為阿羅漢所教，隨意所欲不復盜竊，常懷惠施，樂閑居處。猶如阿羅漢，盡形壽不習不凈行，常修梵行，清凈無穢而自娛樂。如是我字某名某，為阿羅漢所教，自今已后不復淫妷，清凈無穢。猶如阿羅漢，盡形壽不妄語，常行審諦，最尊最貴，諸尊長為世所貴。如是我字某名某，為彼阿羅漢所教，自今已后更不復妄語，亦不教人使習妄語，當行審諦，為世尊長不行妄語

現代漢語譯本《佛說八關齋經》

宋代居士沮渠京聲翻譯

我聽聞是這樣的：

一時，佛陀在舍衛城的祇樹給孤獨園。當時，世尊告訴眾比丘：『我現在要說聖八關齋。仔細聽，仔細聽，好好思考，我現在要說了。』比丘們回答說：『是的，世尊！』當時，那些比丘從佛陀那裡接受了教誨。

世尊告訴他們：『各位比丘！如果信奉佛法的善男子善女人，想要了解聖八關齋，就教導某人這樣說：『如同阿羅漢，終其一生不殺生，也不教唆他人殺生，沒有怨恨之心，應當懷有慚愧，以慈悲心憐憫一切眾生。我，名字叫某某，受阿羅漢的教導，從今天開始，隨自己的意願不再殺生，沒有怨恨之心，常懷慚愧，以慈悲心憐憫一切眾生。如同阿羅漢，終其一生不偷盜，樂於佈施，也不教唆他人偷盜，常樂於獨處。我，名字叫某某，受阿羅漢的教導，隨自己的意願不再偷盜，常懷佈施之心，樂於獨處。如同阿羅漢，終其一生不行不凈之行，常修清凈的梵行，清凈無染而自得其樂。我，名字叫某某，受阿羅漢的教導，從今以後不再淫慾，保持清凈無染。如同阿羅漢，終其一生不說妄語，常行真實不虛，最為尊貴，受到諸位尊長和世人的尊敬。我，名字叫某某，受那位阿羅漢的教導，從今以後不再說妄語，也不教唆他人說妄語，應當行真實不虛，作為世尊的弟子不行妄語。』

English version The Sutra of the Eight Precepts Fast Spoken by the Buddha

Translated by Layman Juqu Jingsheng of the Song Dynasty

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Bhagavan was in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the Bhikkhus: 'I will now speak of the Holy Eight Precepts Fast. Listen carefully, listen carefully, and contemplate well, I will now speak.' They replied: 'Yes, World Honored One!' At that time, those Bhikkhus received the teachings from the Buddha.

The World Honored One told them: 'O Bhikkhus! If a son or daughter of a good family who has faith wishes to know the Holy Eight Precepts Fast, then teach so-and-so to say: 『Like an Arhat, for the rest of my life I will not kill, nor will I teach others to kill, I will have no resentment, I should feel shame, and with a compassionate heart, I will have pity for all living beings. I, named so-and-so, am taught by the Arhat, from today onwards, according to my will, I will no longer kill, I will have no resentment, I will always feel shame, and with a compassionate heart, I will have pity for all living beings. Like an Arhat, for the rest of my life I will not steal, I will be generous, nor will I teach others to steal, I will always enjoy solitude. I, named so-and-so, am taught by the Arhat, according to my will, I will no longer steal, I will always be generous, and I will enjoy solitude. Like an Arhat, for the rest of my life I will not engage in impure conduct, I will always cultivate pure conduct, pure and without defilement, and I will find joy in it. I, named so-and-so, am taught by the Arhat, from now on I will no longer engage in sexual misconduct, I will remain pure and without defilement. Like an Arhat, for the rest of my life I will not speak falsely, I will always practice truthfulness, the most honored and respected, and I will be respected by all elders and the world. I, named so-and-so, am taught by that Arhat, from now on I will no longer speak falsely, nor will I teach others to speak falsely, I should practice truthfulness, as a disciple of the World Honored One, I will not speak falsely.』

。猶如阿羅漢，亦不飲酒，如是我字某名某，自今已后隨意所欲亦不飲酒，亦不教人使飲酒。猶如阿羅漢，盡形壽不犯齋，隨時食。如是我字某名某，今一日一夜隨意所欲亦不犯齋，亦不教人使犯齋，隨時食。猶如阿羅漢，盡形壽不于高好床坐。如是我字某名某，今一日一夜不于高廣床坐，亦不教人使坐。猶如阿羅漢，盡形壽不習歌舞戲樂，亦不著紋飾香薰涂身。今一日一夜不習歌舞戲樂，亦不著紋飾香薰涂身。』

「如是修行聖八關齋，於是八關齋中功德不可限量，言有爾所福、爾所功德、爾所福報，如是眾多福不可稱計。諸比丘！譬如五大流水皆同一處，所謂恒伽、謠婆奴、新頭、阿脂耶、婆提摩棄，彼水所流處不可限量，言有爾所水、有爾所瓶水，有爾所千瓶百千瓶水。如是聖八關齋福不可稱量，言有爾所福、爾所功德、爾所果報，此大福不可稱計。」

爾時諸比丘聞佛所說，歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本：『就像阿羅漢一樣，也不喝酒。我，名字叫某某，從今以後，無論想不想，都不喝酒，也不教唆別人喝酒。就像阿羅漢一樣，終身不違背齋戒，隨時吃飯。我，名字叫某某，今天一天一夜，無論想不想，都不違背齋戒，也不教唆別人違背齋戒，隨時吃飯。就像阿羅漢一樣，終身不坐高大舒適的床。我，名字叫某某，今天一天一夜，不坐高大寬敞的床，也不教唆別人坐。就像阿羅漢一樣，終身不學習唱歌跳舞和娛樂，也不佩戴裝飾品，不使用香料塗抹身體。我，今天一天一夜，不學習唱歌跳舞和娛樂，也不佩戴裝飾品，不使用香料塗抹身體。』『這樣修行聖八關齋，這八關齋中的功德是不可估量的，不能說有多少福德、多少功德、多少福報，如此眾多的福德是無法計算的。諸位比丘！譬如五條大河都匯聚到一處，即恒河、謠婆奴河、新頭河、阿脂耶河、婆提摩棄河，它們的水流之處是無法估量的，不能說有多少水、有多少瓶水、有多少千瓶百千瓶水。同樣，聖八關齋的福德也是無法稱量的，不能說有多少福德、多少功德、多少果報，這巨大的福德是無法計算的。』當時，眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說，歡喜奉行。

English version: 'Just like an Arhat, one does not drink alcohol. I, named so-and-so, from this day forward, whether I desire it or not, will not drink alcohol, nor will I encourage others to drink alcohol. Just like an Arhat, one does not break the fast for the duration of their life, eating at any time. I, named so-and-so, for this one day and night, whether I desire it or not, will not break the fast, nor will I encourage others to break the fast, eating at any time. Just like an Arhat, one does not sit on a high and comfortable bed for the duration of their life. I, named so-and-so, for this one day and night, will not sit on a high and wide bed, nor will I encourage others to sit on one. Just like an Arhat, one does not engage in singing, dancing, and entertainment for the duration of their life, nor does one wear ornaments or use fragrant perfumes on the body. For this one day and night, I will not engage in singing, dancing, and entertainment, nor will I wear ornaments or use fragrant perfumes on the body.' 'Such is the practice of the Noble Eight Precepts, and the merits within these eight precepts are immeasurable. It cannot be said how much merit, how much virtue, how much reward there is; such numerous merits are incalculable. Monks! Just as five great rivers all converge at one place, namely the Ganges, the Yamuna, the Indus, the Aciravati, and the Sarayu, the flow of their waters is immeasurable. It cannot be said how much water there is, how many bottles of water, how many thousands or hundreds of thousands of bottles of water. Likewise, the merit of the Noble Eight Precepts is immeasurable. It cannot be said how much merit, how much virtue, how much reward there is; this great merit is incalculable.' At that time, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced accordingly.
