雜阿含經卷第一

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當觀色無常。如是觀者,則為正觀。正觀者,則生厭離;厭離者,喜貪盡;喜貪盡者,說心解脫。

「如是觀受、想、行、識無常。如是觀者,則為正觀。正觀者,則生厭離;厭離者,喜貪盡;喜貪盡者,說心解脫。

「如是,比丘!心解脫者,若欲自證,則能自證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』

「如觀無常,苦、空、非我亦復如是。」

時,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「於色當正思惟,色無常如實知。所以者何?比丘!於色正思惟,觀色無常如實知者,於色欲貪斷;欲貪斷者,說心解脫。

「如是受、想、行、識當正思惟,觀識無常如實知。所以者何?于識正思惟,觀識無常者,則于識欲貪斷;欲貪斷者,說心解脫

現代漢語譯本 《雜阿含經》第一卷 宋代天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『應當觀察色是無常的。這樣觀察,就是正確的觀察。正確的觀察,就會產生厭離;產生厭離,喜悅和貪慾就會消失;喜悅和貪慾消失,就說是心解脫。』 『同樣地,觀察受、想、行、識也是無常的。這樣觀察,就是正確的觀察。正確的觀察,就會產生厭離;產生厭離,喜悅和貪慾就會消失;喜悅和貪慾消失,就說是心解脫。』 『像這樣,比丘們!心解脫的人,如果想要自己證悟,就能自己證悟:『我已經生死已盡,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』 『像觀察無常一樣,觀察苦、空、非我,也是如此。』 當時,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『對於色,應當正確地思考,如實地知道色是無常的。為什麼呢?比丘們!對於色正確地思考,觀察色是無常的,如實地知道,就會斷除對色的貪慾;斷除對色的貪慾,就說是心解脫。』 『同樣地,對於受、想、行、識,應當正確地思考,如實地知道識是無常的。為什麼呢?對於識正確地思考,觀察識是無常的,就會斷除對識的貪慾;斷除對識的貪慾,就說是心解脫。』

English version The Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 1 Translated by Gunabhadra of Tianzhu during the Song Dynasty (1) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'You should contemplate that form is impermanent. Contemplating in this way is correct contemplation. Correct contemplation leads to detachment; detachment leads to the extinction of joy and craving; the extinction of joy and craving is called liberation of the mind.' 'Likewise, contemplate that feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent. Contemplating in this way is correct contemplation. Correct contemplation leads to detachment; detachment leads to the extinction of joy and craving; the extinction of joy and craving is called liberation of the mind.' 'Thus, monks! One whose mind is liberated, if they wish to realize it for themselves, can realize it for themselves: 'Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know for myself that there is no further existence.' 'Just as you contemplate impermanence, so too should you contemplate suffering, emptiness, and non-self.' Then, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (2) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'Regarding form, you should contemplate correctly, and know truly that form is impermanent. Why is that? Monks! When you contemplate form correctly, and observe that form is impermanent, and know it truly, then craving for form is cut off; when craving for form is cut off, it is called liberation of the mind.' 'Likewise, regarding feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, you should contemplate correctly, and know truly that consciousness is impermanent. Why is that? When you contemplate consciousness correctly, and observe that consciousness is impermanent, then craving for consciousness is cut off; when craving for consciousness is cut off, it is called liberation of the mind.'


「如是心解脫者,若欲自證,則能自證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』如是正思惟無常,苦、空、非我亦復如是。」

時,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「於色不知、不明、不斷、不離欲,則不能斷苦。如是受、想、行、識,不知、不明、不斷、不離欲,則不能斷苦。

「諸比丘!於色若知、若明、若斷、若離欲,則能斷苦;如是受、想、行、識,若知、若明、若斷、若離欲,則能堪任斷苦。」

時,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「於色不知、不明、不斷、不離欲、心不解脫者,則不能越生、老、病、死怖。如是受、想、行、識,不知、不明、不斷、不離欲貪、心不解脫者,則不能越生、老、病、死怖。

「比丘!於色若知、若明、若斷、若離欲,則能越生、老、病、死怖。諸比丘!若知、若明、若離欲貪、心解脫者,則能越生、老、病、死怖。如是受、想、行、識,若知、若明、若斷、若離欲貪、心解脫者,則能越生、老、病、死怖

現代漢語譯本 『如果這樣心已解脫的人,想要自我驗證,就能自我驗證:』我已不再受生,清凈的修行已經確立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』像這樣正確地思維無常,苦、空、無我也同樣如此。 當時,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (三) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『對於色,如果不知、不明、不斷、不離欲,就不能斷除痛苦。同樣,對於受、想、行、識,如果不知、不明、不斷、不離欲,就不能斷除痛苦。』 『諸位比丘!對於色,如果知、如果明、如果斷、如果離欲,就能斷除痛苦;同樣,對於受、想、行、識,如果知、如果明、如果斷、如果離欲,就能堪任斷除痛苦。』 當時,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (四) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『對於色,如果不知、不明、不斷、不離欲,心不解脫,就不能超越生、老、病、死的恐懼。同樣,對於受、想、行、識,如果不知、不明、不斷、不離欲貪,心不解脫,就不能超越生、老、病、死的恐懼。』 『比丘們!對於色,如果知、如果明、如果斷、如果離欲,就能超越生、老、病、死的恐懼。諸位比丘!如果知、如果明、如果離欲貪,心解脫,就能超越生、老、病、死的恐懼。同樣,對於受、想、行、識,如果知、如果明、如果斷、如果離欲貪,心解脫,就能超越生、老、病、死的恐懼。』

English version 『If one's mind is thus liberated, if they wish to verify it for themselves, they can verify: 「Birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to be.」 Thus, rightly contemplating impermanence, suffering, emptiness, and non-self is also the same.』 Then, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (3) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta』s Grove, Anathapindika』s Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 『Regarding form, if one does not know, does not understand, does not cut off, and does not detach from desire, then one cannot cut off suffering. Likewise, regarding feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, if one does not know, does not understand, does not cut off, and does not detach from desire, then one cannot cut off suffering.』 『Monks! Regarding form, if one knows, if one understands, if one cuts off, and if one detaches from desire, then one can cut off suffering; likewise, regarding feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, if one knows, if one understands, if one cuts off, and if one detaches from desire, then one is capable of cutting off suffering.』 Then, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (4) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta』s Grove, Anathapindika』s Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 『Regarding form, if one does not know, does not understand, does not cut off, and does not detach from desire, and the mind is not liberated, then one cannot transcend the fear of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Likewise, regarding feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, if one does not know, does not understand, does not cut off, and does not detach from desire and craving, and the mind is not liberated, then one cannot transcend the fear of birth, aging, sickness, and death.』 『Monks! Regarding form, if one knows, if one understands, if one cuts off, and if one detaches from desire, then one can transcend the fear of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Monks! If one knows, if one understands, if one detaches from desire and craving, and the mind is liberated, then one can transcend the fear of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Likewise, regarding feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, if one knows, if one understands, if one cuts off, and if one detaches from desire and craving, and the mind is liberated, then one can transcend the fear of birth, aging, sickness, and death.』

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「於色愛喜者,則于苦愛喜;于苦愛喜者,則于苦不得解脫、不明、不離欲。如是受、想、行、識愛喜者,則愛喜苦,愛喜苦者,則于苦不得解脫。

「諸比丘!於色不愛喜者,則不喜于苦;不喜于苦者,則于苦得解脫。如是受、想、行、識不愛喜者,則不喜于苦;不喜于苦者,則于苦得解脫。

「諸比丘!於色不知、不明、不離欲貪、心不解脫,貪心不解脫者,則不能斷苦;如是受、想、行、識,不知、不明、不離欲貪、心不解脫者,則不能斷苦。

「於色若知、若明、若離欲貪、心得解脫者,則能斷苦;如是受、想、行、識,若知、若明、若離欲貪、心得解脫者,則能斷苦。」

時,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果對色(物質)愛戀歡喜,就會對苦愛戀歡喜;如果對苦愛戀歡喜,就不能從苦中解脫,不能明白苦的真相,不能脫離對苦的慾望。同樣,如果對受、想、行、識愛戀歡喜,就會愛戀歡喜苦,如果愛戀歡喜苦,就不能從苦中解脫。』

『諸位比丘!如果對色(物質)不愛戀歡喜,就不會對苦愛戀歡喜;不對苦愛戀歡喜,就能從苦中解脫。同樣,如果對受、想、行、識不愛戀歡喜,就不會愛戀歡喜苦;不對苦愛戀歡喜,就能從苦中解脫。』

『諸位比丘!如果對色(物質)不瞭解、不明白、不能脫離慾望和貪戀,心不能得到解脫,那麼就不能斷除苦;同樣,如果對受、想、行、識不瞭解、不明白、不能脫離慾望和貪戀,心不能得到解脫,那麼就不能斷除苦。』

『如果對色(物質)瞭解、明白、脫離慾望和貪戀,心得到解脫,那麼就能斷除苦;同樣,如果對受、想、行、識瞭解、明白、脫離慾望和貪戀,心得到解脫,那麼就能斷除苦。』

當時,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version Then, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(Five)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'Those who are fond of and delighted in form (materiality) are fond of and delighted in suffering; those who are fond of and delighted in suffering cannot be liberated from suffering, do not understand it, and do not detach from desire for it. Likewise, those who are fond of and delighted in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are fond of and delighted in suffering, and those who are fond of and delighted in suffering cannot be liberated from suffering.'

'Monks! Those who are not fond of and delighted in form (materiality) are not fond of and delighted in suffering; those who are not fond of and delighted in suffering are liberated from suffering. Likewise, those who are not fond of and delighted in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are not fond of and delighted in suffering; those who are not fond of and delighted in suffering are liberated from suffering.'

'Monks! If one does not know, does not understand, does not detach from desire and craving for form (materiality), and the mind is not liberated, then one cannot end suffering; likewise, if one does not know, does not understand, does not detach from desire and craving for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, and the mind is not liberated, then one cannot end suffering.'

'If one knows, understands, and detaches from desire and craving for form (materiality), and the mind is liberated, then one can end suffering; likewise, if one knows, understands, and detaches from desire and craving for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, and the mind is liberated, then one can end suffering.'

Then, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(Six)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'If one does not know, does not understand, does not detach from desire and craving for form (materiality), and the mind is not liberated, then one cannot overcome the fear of birth, old age, sickness, and death; likewise, if one does not know, does not understand, does not detach from desire and craving for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, and the mind is not liberated, then one cannot overcome the fear of birth, old age, sickness, and death.'


「諸比丘!於色若知、若明、若離欲貪、心解脫者,則能越生、老、病、死怖;如是受、想、行、識,若知、若明、若離欲貪、心解脫者,則能越生、老、病、死怖。」

時,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「於色愛喜者,則于苦愛喜;于苦愛喜者,則于苦不得解脫。如是受、想、行、識愛喜者,則愛喜苦,愛喜苦者,則于苦不得解脫。

「諸比丘!於色不愛喜者,則不喜于苦;不喜于苦者,則于苦得解脫。如是受、想、行、識不愛喜者,則不喜于苦;不喜于苦者,則于苦得解脫。」

時,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

無常及苦、空  非我、正思惟  無知等四種  及於色喜樂

(八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去、未來色無常,況現在色!聖弟子!如是觀者,不顧過去色,不欲未來色,于現在色厭、離欲、正向滅盡。如是,過去、未來受、想、行、識無常,況現在識!聖弟子!如是觀者,不顧過去識,不欣未來識,于現在識厭、離欲、正向滅盡。如無常,苦、空、非我亦復如是

現代漢語譯本 『諸位比丘!如果對於色(物質現象)能夠了解、明白、並去除貪慾,從而心得到解脫,那麼就能超越生、老、病、死的恐懼。同樣,對於受(感受)、想(概念)、行(意志)、識(意識),如果能夠了解、明白、並去除貪慾,從而心得到解脫,那麼也能超越生、老、病、死的恐懼。』 當時,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果對於色(物質現象)產生愛戀和歡喜,就會對苦產生愛戀和歡喜;如果對苦產生愛戀和歡喜,就無法從苦中解脫。同樣,如果對於受(感受)、想(概念)、行(意志)、識(意識)產生愛戀和歡喜,就會愛戀和歡喜苦,愛戀和歡喜苦就無法從苦中解脫。』 『諸位比丘!如果對於色(物質現象)不產生愛戀和歡喜,就不會對苦產生歡喜;不對苦產生歡喜,就能從苦中解脫。同樣,如果對於受(感受)、想(概念)、行(意志)、識(意識)不產生愛戀和歡喜,就不會對苦產生歡喜;不對苦產生歡喜,就能從苦中解脫。』 當時,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 無常以及苦、空,非我、正思維,無知等四種,以及對於色的喜樂。 (八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去的和未來的色(物質現象)都是無常的,更何況現在的色!聖弟子如果這樣觀察,就不會留戀過去的色,不會渴望未來的色,對於現在的色會感到厭惡、離欲,並趨向于滅盡。同樣,過去的和未來的受(感受)、想(概念)、行(意志)、識(意識)都是無常的,更何況現在的識!聖弟子如果這樣觀察,就不會留戀過去的識,不會欣求未來的識,對於現在的識會感到厭惡、離欲,並趨向于滅盡。』如同無常一樣,苦、空、非我也是如此。

English version 'Monks, if one understands, comprehends, and is free from desire and craving for form, and the mind is liberated, then one can overcome the fear of birth, old age, sickness, and death. Likewise, if one understands, comprehends, and is free from desire and craving for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, and the mind is liberated, then one can overcome the fear of birth, old age, sickness, and death.' Then, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (7) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'Monks, one who delights in form, delights in suffering; one who delights in suffering cannot be liberated from suffering. Likewise, one who delights in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, delights in suffering, and one who delights in suffering cannot be liberated from suffering.' 'Monks, one who does not delight in form, does not delight in suffering; one who does not delight in suffering is liberated from suffering. Likewise, one who does not delight in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, does not delight in suffering; one who does not delight in suffering is liberated from suffering.' Then, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. Impermanence, suffering, emptiness, not-self, right contemplation, the four kinds of ignorance, and delight in form. (8) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'Past and future form are impermanent, how much more so present form! A noble disciple, seeing this, does not dwell on past form, does not desire future form, and is disgusted with, dispassionate towards, and directed towards the cessation of present form. Likewise, past and future feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, how much more so present consciousness! A noble disciple, seeing this, does not dwell on past consciousness, does not desire future consciousness, and is disgusted with, dispassionate towards, and directed towards the cessation of present consciousness.' Just as with impermanence, so it is with suffering, emptiness, and not-self.

『聖弟子!如此觀察的人,會厭離色,厭離受、想、行、識,因為厭離而不執著,不執著便能得到解脫。解脫的人會生起真實的智慧:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來世。』

(9)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'Form is impermanent, what is impermanent is suffering, what is suffering is not-self, and what is not-self is not mine. Observing thus, it is called true right view. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, what is impermanent is suffering, what is suffering is not-self, and what is not-self is not mine. Observing thus, it is called true view.'

'Noble disciples! Observing thus, one becomes disenchanted with form, disenchanted with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Because of disenchantment, one is not attached; because of non-attachment, one is liberated. For the liberated one, true knowledge arises: 「Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being.」'

Then, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, what is impermanent is suffering, what is suffering is not-self, and what is not-self is not mine. Observing thus, it is called true view.'

'Noble disciples! Observing thus, one is liberated from form, liberated from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. I say that these are liberated from birth, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress.'

Then, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「色無常,若因、若緣生諸色者,彼亦無常。無常因、無常緣所生諸色,云何有常?如是受、想、行、識無常,若因、若緣生諸識者,彼亦無常。無常因、無常緣所生諸識,云何有常?如是,諸比丘!色無常,受、想、行、識無常。無常者則是苦,苦者則非我,非我者則非我所。

「聖弟子!如是觀者,厭於色,厭于受、想、行、識。厭者不樂,不樂則解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『色是無常的,如果因緣和合而生起的色,它們也是無常的。由無常的因和無常的緣所生起的色,怎麼可能是常住的呢?同樣,受、想、行、識也是無常的,如果因緣和合而生起的識,它們也是無常的。由無常的因和無常的緣所生起的識,怎麼可能是常住的呢?因此,諸位比丘!色是無常的,受、想、行、識也是無常的。凡是無常的,就是苦;凡是苦的,就不是我;凡不是我的,就不是我所擁有的。』 『聖弟子!像這樣觀察,就會厭離色,厭離受、想、行、識。厭離就不會貪戀,不貪戀就會解脫,解脫后就會有這樣的知見:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 當時,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『色是無常的,如果因緣和合而生起的色,它們也是無常的。由無常的因和無常的緣所生起的色,怎麼可能是常住的呢?受、想、行、識也是無常的,如果因緣和合而生起的識,它們也是無常的。由無常的因和無常的緣所生起的識,怎麼可能是常住的呢?』 『因此,比丘們!色是無常的,受、想、行、識也是無常的。凡是無常的,就是苦;凡是苦的,就不是我;凡不是我的,就不是我所擁有的。像這樣觀察,就叫做真實的觀察。聖弟子!像這樣觀察,就能從色中解脫,從受、想、行、識中解脫。我說這些人已經從生、老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱中解脫了。』 當時,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

English version At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Form is impermanent, and if forms arise from causes and conditions, they are also impermanent. How can forms arising from impermanent causes and impermanent conditions be permanent? Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, and if consciousness arises from causes and conditions, it is also impermanent. How can consciousness arising from impermanent causes and impermanent conditions be permanent? Therefore, bhikkhus! Form is impermanent, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent. What is impermanent is suffering, what is suffering is not self, and what is not self is not mine.' 'A noble disciple, observing in this way, becomes weary of form, weary of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Being weary, one does not delight; not delighting, one is liberated. Upon liberation, one has the knowledge: 'Birth is exhausted, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.' Then, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (One Two) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Form is impermanent, and if forms arise from causes and conditions, they are also impermanent. How can forms arising from impermanent causes and impermanent conditions be permanent? Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, and if consciousness arises from causes and conditions, it is also impermanent. How can consciousness arising from impermanent causes and impermanent conditions be permanent?' 'Therefore, bhikkhus! Form is impermanent, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent. What is impermanent is suffering, what is suffering is not self, and what is not self is not mine. Observing in this way is called true observation. A noble disciple, observing in this way, is liberated from form, liberated from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. I say that these are liberated from birth, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress.' Then, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.


(一三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若眾生於色不味者,則不染於色;以眾生於色味故,則有染著。如是眾生於受、想、行、識不味者,彼眾生則不染于識;以眾生味受、想、行、識故,彼眾生染著于識。

「諸比丘!若色于眾生不為患者,彼諸眾生不應厭色,以色為眾生患故,彼諸眾生則厭於色。如是受、想、行、識不為患者,彼諸眾生不應厭識;以受、想、行、識為眾生患故,彼諸眾生則厭于識。

「諸比丘!若色于眾生無出離者,彼諸眾生不應出離於色;以色于眾生有出離故,彼諸眾生出離於色。如是受、想、行、識于眾生無出離者,彼諸眾生不應出離於識。以受、想、行、識于眾生有出離故,彼諸眾生出離於識。

「諸比丘!若我於此五受陰不如實知味是味、患是患、離是離者,我于諸天、若魔、若梵、沙門、婆羅門、天、人眾中,不脫、不出、不離,永住顛倒,亦不能自證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。

「諸比丘!我以如實知此五受陰味是味、患是患、離是離故,我于諸天、若魔、若梵、沙門、婆羅門、天、人眾中,自證得脫、得出、得離、得解脫結縛,永不住顛倒,亦能自證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提

現代漢語譯本: (十三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果眾生對色不執著於它的滋味,就不會被色所污染;因為眾生執著於色的滋味,所以才會有染著。同樣,如果眾生對受、想、行、識不執著於它們的滋味,那麼這些眾生就不會被識所污染;因為眾生執著于受、想、行、識的滋味,所以這些眾生才會染著于識。』 『諸位比丘!如果色對眾生不是一種禍患,那麼這些眾生就不應該厭惡色;因為色對眾生是一種禍患,所以這些眾生才會厭惡色。同樣,如果受、想、行、識對眾生不是一種禍患,那麼這些眾生就不應該厭惡識;因為受、想、行、識對眾生是一種禍患,所以這些眾生才會厭惡識。』 『諸位比丘!如果色對眾生沒有出離之道,那麼這些眾生就不應該從色中出離;因為色對眾生有出離之道,所以這些眾生才能從色中出離。同樣,如果受、想、行、識對眾生沒有出離之道,那麼這些眾生就不應該從識中出離。因為受、想、行、識對眾生有出離之道,所以這些眾生才能從識中出離。』 『諸位比丘!如果我對於這五種受陰不能如實地知道什麼是滋味、什麼是禍患、什麼是出離,那麼我在諸天、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門、天人等眾生中,就不能解脫、不能出離、不能遠離,永遠處於顛倒的狀態,也不能自己證得無上正等正覺。』 『諸位比丘!我因為如實地知道這五種受陰的滋味是滋味、禍患是禍患、出離是出離,所以我在諸天、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門、天人等眾生中,自己證得了脫、得出、得離、得解脫束縛,永遠不住于顛倒,也能自己證得無上正等正覺。』

English version: (13) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks: 'If beings do not crave the taste of form, they will not be defiled by form; because beings crave the taste of form, they are attached to it. Likewise, if beings do not crave the taste of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, they will not be defiled by consciousness; because beings crave the taste of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, they are attached to consciousness.' 'Monks! If form were not a source of suffering for beings, they would not be averse to form; because form is a source of suffering for beings, they are averse to form. Likewise, if feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness were not a source of suffering for beings, they would not be averse to consciousness; because feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are a source of suffering for beings, they are averse to consciousness.' 'Monks! If there were no escape from form for beings, they would not escape from form; because there is an escape from form for beings, they escape from form. Likewise, if there were no escape from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness for beings, they would not escape from consciousness. Because there is an escape from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness for beings, they escape from consciousness.' 'Monks! If I did not truly know the taste as taste, the suffering as suffering, and the escape as escape, regarding these five aggregates of clinging, I would not be liberated, would not escape, would not be free among gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, and humans, I would remain in delusion, and I would not have realized the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment myself.' 'Monks! Because I truly know the taste as taste, the suffering as suffering, and the escape as escape, regarding these five aggregates of clinging, I have myself realized liberation, escape, freedom, and the breaking of bonds among gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, and humans, I no longer remain in delusion, and I have myself realized the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment.'


。」

時,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我昔於色味有求有行,若於色味隨順覺,則於色味以智慧如實見。如是于受、想、行、識味有求有行,若於受、想、行、識味隨順覺,則于識味以智慧如實見。

「諸比丘!我於色患有求有行,若於色患隨順覺,則於色患以智慧如實見;如是受、想、行、識患有求有行,若於識患隨順覺,則于識患以智慧如實見。

「諸比丘!我於色離有求有行,若於色離隨順覺,則於色離以智慧如實見;如是受、想、行、識離有求有行,若於受、想、行、識離隨順覺,則于受、想、行、識離以智慧如實見。

「諸比丘!我於五受陰不如實知味是味、患是患、離是離者,我于諸天、若魔、若梵、沙門、婆羅門、天、人眾中,不脫、不離、不出,永住顛倒,不能自證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。

「諸比丘!我以如實知五受陰味是味、患是患、離是離,我于諸天人、若魔、若梵、沙門、婆羅門、天、人眾中,以脫、以離、以出,永不住顛倒,能自證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」

時,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本 當時,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(一四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我過去對於色(物質)的樂味有所追求和實踐,如果對於色的樂味隨順覺悟,就能以智慧如實地見到色的樂味。同樣,對於受(感受)、想(概念)、行(意志)、識(意識)的樂味有所追求和實踐,如果對於受、想、行、識的樂味隨順覺悟,就能以智慧如實地見到識的樂味。』

『諸比丘!我對於色的過患有所追求和實踐,如果對於色的過患隨順覺悟,就能以智慧如實地見到色的過患;同樣,對於受、想、行、識的過患有所追求和實踐,如果對於識的過患隨順覺悟,就能以智慧如實地見到識的過患。』

『諸比丘!我對於色的離欲有所追求和實踐,如果對於色的離欲隨順覺悟,就能以智慧如實地見到色的離欲;同樣,對於受、想、行、識的離欲有所追求和實踐,如果對於受、想、行、識的離欲隨順覺悟,就能以智慧如實地見到受、想、行、識的離欲。』

『諸比丘!如果我對於五受陰(色、受、想、行、識)不能如實地知曉樂味是樂味、過患是過患、離欲是離欲,那麼我在諸天、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門、天人等眾生之中,就不能解脫、不能脫離、不能超出,永遠處於顛倒的狀態,不能自己證得無上正等正覺。』

『諸比丘!我因為如實地知曉五受陰的樂味是樂味、過患是過患、離欲是離欲,所以在諸天、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門、天人等眾生之中,得以解脫、得以脫離、得以超出,永遠不處於顛倒的狀態,能夠自己證得無上正等正覺。』

當時,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version At that time, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(14)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'In the past, I sought and practiced the gratification in form. If I understood the gratification in form in accordance with reality, then I saw the gratification in form with wisdom as it truly is. Likewise, I sought and practiced the gratification in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. If I understood the gratification in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness in accordance with reality, then I saw the gratification in consciousness with wisdom as it truly is.'

'Bhikkhus! I sought and practiced the danger in form. If I understood the danger in form in accordance with reality, then I saw the danger in form with wisdom as it truly is. Likewise, I sought and practiced the danger in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. If I understood the danger in consciousness in accordance with reality, then I saw the danger in consciousness with wisdom as it truly is.'

'Bhikkhus! I sought and practiced the escape from form. If I understood the escape from form in accordance with reality, then I saw the escape from form with wisdom as it truly is. Likewise, I sought and practiced the escape from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. If I understood the escape from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness in accordance with reality, then I saw the escape from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness with wisdom as it truly is.'

'Bhikkhus! If I did not truly know the gratification as gratification, the danger as danger, and the escape as escape in the five aggregates of clinging (form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness), then I would not be liberated, not detached, not free, and would remain in delusion among gods, Mara, Brahma, ascetics, brahmins, and the multitude of gods and humans, and I would not have attained the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment by myself.'

'Bhikkhus! Because I truly know the gratification as gratification, the danger as danger, and the escape as escape in the five aggregates of clinging, I am liberated, detached, and free among gods, Mara, Brahma, ascetics, brahmins, and the multitude of gods and humans, and I do not remain in delusion, and I have attained the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment by myself.'

At that time, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.


過去四種說  厭離及解脫  二種說因緣  味亦復二種

(一五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,有異比丘來詣佛所,稽首佛足,卻住一面,白佛言:「善哉!世尊!今當爲我略說法要,我聞法已,當獨一靜處,修不放逸。修不放逸已,當復思惟:『所以善男子出家,剃除鬚髮,身著法服,信家非家出家,為究竟無上梵行,現法作證:「我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。」』」

爾時,世尊告彼比丘:「善哉!善哉!比丘快說此言,云:『當爲我略說法要,我聞法已,獨一靜處,修不放逸,乃至自知不受後有。』如是說耶?」

比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「諦聽!諦聽!善思念之,當爲汝說。比丘!若隨使使者,即隨使死;若隨死者,為取所縛。比丘!若不隨使使,則不隨使死;不隨使死者,則于取解脫。」

比丘白佛:「知已,世尊!知已,善逝!」

佛告比丘:「汝云何於我略說法中,廣解其義?」

比丘白佛言:「世尊!色隨使使、色隨使死;隨使使、隨使死者,則為取所縛。如是受、想、行、識,隨使使、隨使死;隨使使、隨使死者,為取所縛

現代漢語譯本 過去有四種說法,分別是厭離和解脫。 有兩種說法是關於因緣的,還有兩種說法是關於味道的。

(一五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位比丘來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一邊站立,對佛陀說:『善哉!世尊!現在請為我簡略地講說佛法的要義,我聽聞佛法后,將獨自在安靜的地方,修習不放逸。修習不放逸后,我將進一步思考:「為什麼善男子要出家,剃除鬚髮,身穿法衣,捨棄家庭而出家,是爲了究竟無上的梵行,在今生就證悟:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自己知道不再有後世的生命。』」』

當時,世尊告訴那位比丘:『善哉!善哉!比丘,你這樣說很好,說:「請為我簡略地講說佛法的要義,我聽聞佛法后,將獨自在安靜的地方,修習不放逸,乃至自己知道不再有後世的生命。」是這樣說的嗎?』

比丘回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』

佛陀告訴比丘:『仔細聽!仔細聽!好好思考,我將為你解說。比丘!如果隨順煩惱的驅使,就會隨順煩惱而死;如果隨順死亡,就會被執取所束縛。比丘!如果不隨順煩惱的驅使,就不會隨順煩惱而死;不隨順煩惱而死,就會從執取中解脫。』

比丘對佛陀說:『明白了,世尊!明白了,善逝!』

佛陀告訴比丘:『你如何在我簡略的說法中,廣泛地理解了它的含義?』

比丘對佛陀說:『世尊!色隨順煩惱的驅使,色隨順煩惱而死;隨順煩惱的驅使,隨順煩惱而死的人,就會被執取所束縛。同樣,受、想、行、識,隨順煩惱的驅使,隨順煩惱而死;隨順煩惱的驅使,隨順煩惱而死的人,就會被執取所束縛。

English version There are four past teachings: aversion and liberation. There are two teachings on causes and conditions, and two teachings on taste.

(15)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.

Then, a certain bhikkhu came to the place where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, stood to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Excellent, Blessed One! Now, please briefly explain the essence of the Dharma for me. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, practicing diligence. Having practiced diligence, I will further contemplate: 「Why did a good man leave home, shave his head and beard, wear the monastic robes, and go forth from home into homelessness, in order to accomplish the ultimate, unsurpassed holy life, realizing in this very life: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』」'

Then, the Blessed One said to that bhikkhu: 'Excellent! Excellent! Bhikkhu, it is good that you have spoken thus, saying: 「Please briefly explain the essence of the Dharma for me. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, practicing diligence, and even know that there will be no further existence.」 Is that what you said?'

The bhikkhu replied to the Buddha: 'Yes, Blessed One!'

The Buddha said to the bhikkhu: 'Listen carefully! Listen carefully! Reflect well, and I will explain it to you. Bhikkhu! If one follows the instigation of the defilements, one follows the death of the defilements; if one follows death, one is bound by grasping. Bhikkhu! If one does not follow the instigation of the defilements, one does not follow the death of the defilements; not following the death of the defilements, one is liberated from grasping.'

The bhikkhu said to the Buddha: 'Understood, Blessed One! Understood, Well-gone One!'

The Buddha said to the bhikkhu: 'How have you, in my brief explanation, broadly understood its meaning?'

The bhikkhu said to the Buddha: 'Blessed One! Form follows the instigation of the defilements, form follows the death of the defilements; one who follows the instigation of the defilements, follows the death of the defilements, is bound by grasping. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness follow the instigation of the defilements, follow the death of the defilements; one who follows the instigation of the defilements, follows the death of the defilements, is bound by grasping.'


「世尊!若色不隨使使、不隨使死;不隨使使、不隨使死者,則于取解脫。如是受、想、行、識,不隨使使、不隨使死;不隨使使、不隨使死者,則于取解脫。如是,世尊!略說法中,廣解其義。」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!比丘!於我略說法中,廣解其義。所以者何?色隨使使、隨使死;隨使使、隨使死者,則為取所縛。如是受、想、行、識,隨使使、隨使死;隨使使、隨使死者,則為取所縛。

「比丘!色不隨使使、不隨使死;不隨使使、不隨使死者,則于取解脫。如是受、想、行、識,不隨使使、不隨使死;不隨使使、不隨使死者,則于取解脫。」

時,彼比丘聞佛所說,心大歡喜,禮佛而退。獨在靜處,精勤修習,住不放逸。精勤修習,住不放逸已,思惟:「所以善男子出家,剃除鬚髮,身著法服,信家非家出家,乃至自知不受後有。」

時,彼比丘即成羅漢,心得解脫。

(一六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,有異比丘來詣佛所。所問如上,差別者:「隨使使、隨使死者,則增諸數;若不隨使使、不隨使死者,則不增諸數

現代漢語譯本: 『世尊!如果色法不隨煩惱的驅使而生滅,不隨煩惱的驅使而生滅,那麼就能從執取中解脫。同樣,受、想、行、識,如果不隨煩惱的驅使而生滅,不隨煩惱的驅使而生滅,那麼就能從執取中解脫。世尊,這就是您略說而我廣解的含義。』 佛陀告訴比丘:『好啊!好啊!比丘!你能夠在我略說的法中,廣解其義。這是為什麼呢?因為色法隨煩惱的驅使而生滅,隨煩惱的驅使而生滅,就會被執取所束縛。同樣,受、想、行、識,隨煩惱的驅使而生滅,隨煩惱的驅使而生滅,就會被執取所束縛。』 『比丘!色法不隨煩惱的驅使而生滅,不隨煩惱的驅使而生滅,就能從執取中解脫。同樣,受、想、行、識,不隨煩惱的驅使而生滅,不隨煩惱的驅使而生滅,就能從執取中解脫。』 當時,那位比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,心中非常歡喜,向佛陀頂禮後退下。他獨自在安靜的地方,精進修行,安住于不放逸。精進修行,安住于不放逸后,他思惟:『善男子之所以出家,剃除鬚髮,身穿法衣,從在家到出家,是爲了最終能自知不受後有。』 當時,那位比丘就成了阿羅漢,心得解脫。 (一六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有另一位比丘來到佛陀那裡。他所問的問題和之前一樣,不同之處在於:『如果隨煩惱的驅使而生滅,就會增長諸數;如果不隨煩惱的驅使而生滅,就不會增長諸數。』

English version: 'Venerable Sir, if form does not follow the instigation and death of defilements, does not follow the instigation and death of defilements, then there is liberation from grasping. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, if they do not follow the instigation and death of defilements, do not follow the instigation and death of defilements, then there is liberation from grasping. Thus, Venerable Sir, in your brief teaching, I have understood the meaning broadly.' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'Well said, well said, bhikkhu! You have broadly understood the meaning in my brief teaching. Why is that? Because form follows the instigation and death of defilements, follows the instigation and death of defilements, and is therefore bound by grasping. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness follow the instigation and death of defilements, follow the instigation and death of defilements, and are therefore bound by grasping.' 'Bhikkhu, if form does not follow the instigation and death of defilements, does not follow the instigation and death of defilements, then there is liberation from grasping. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, if they do not follow the instigation and death of defilements, do not follow the instigation and death of defilements, then there is liberation from grasping.' Then, that bhikkhu, having heard what the Buddha said, was greatly delighted, paid homage to the Buddha, and departed. Alone in a quiet place, he diligently practiced, dwelling in non-negligence. Having diligently practiced, dwelling in non-negligence, he reflected, 'The reason why a good man goes forth from home into homelessness, shaving his hair and beard, wearing the robes, is so that he may ultimately know for himself that there is no further existence.' Then, that bhikkhu became an Arhat, his mind liberated. (16) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, another bhikkhu came to the Buddha. The questions he asked were the same as before, except for this difference: 'If one follows the instigation and death of defilements, then the aggregates increase; if one does not follow the instigation and death of defilements, then the aggregates do not increase.'


。」

佛告比丘:「汝云何於我略說法中,廣解其義?」

時,彼比丘白佛言:「世尊!若色隨使使、隨使死;隨使使、隨使死者,則增諸數。如是受、想、行、識,隨使使、隨使死;隨使使、隨使死者,則增諸數。

「世尊!若色不隨使使、不隨使死;不隨使使、不隨使死者,則不增諸數。如是受、想、行、識,不隨使使、不隨使死;不隨使使、不隨使死者,則不增諸數。如是,世尊!我于略說法中,廣解其義。」如是,乃至得阿羅漢,心得解脫。

(一七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

有異比丘從座起,偏袒右肩,合掌白佛言:「善哉!世尊!為我略說法要。我聞法已,當獨一靜處,專精思惟,住不放逸:『所以善男子出家,剃除鬚髮,身著法服,信家非家,出家學道,為究竟無上梵行,現法身作證:「我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。」』」

爾時,世尊告彼比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝作是說:『世尊!為我略說法要,我于略說法中,廣解其義,當獨一靜處,專精思惟,住不放逸,乃至自知不受後有。』汝如是說耶?」

比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「諦聽!諦聽!善思念之,當爲汝說

佛陀告訴比丘:『你為何在我略說的法中,廣解其義呢?』 當時,那位比丘對佛說:『世尊!如果色會隨著煩惱而生起、隨著煩惱而滅去;隨著煩惱而生起、隨著煩惱而滅去,就會增長諸多的數量。同樣,受、想、行、識,如果隨著煩惱而生起、隨著煩惱而滅去;隨著煩惱而生起、隨著煩惱而滅去,就會增長諸多的數量。』 『世尊!如果色不隨著煩惱而生起、不隨著煩惱而滅去;不隨著煩惱而生起、不隨著煩惱而滅去,就不會增長諸多的數量。同樣,受、想、行、識,如果不隨著煩惱而生起、不隨著煩惱而滅去;不隨著煩惱而生起、不隨著煩惱而滅去,就不會增長諸多的數量。世尊!我就是這樣在您略說的法中,廣解其義的。』就這樣,他最終證得了阿羅漢果,心得到解脫。 (一七) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 有一位比丘從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,合掌對佛說:『善哉!世尊!請為我略說法的要義。我聽聞佛法后,將獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,安住于不放逸:『爲了什麼善男子要出家,剃除鬚髮,身穿袈裟,捨棄家庭而出家修道,爲了究竟無上的梵行,在今生親身作證:「我已了脫生死,梵行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來生。」』 這時,世尊告訴那位比丘:『好啊!好啊!你這樣說:『世尊!請為我略說法的要義,我將在略說的法中,廣解其義,將獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,安住于不放逸,乃至自己知道不再有來生。』你是這樣說的嗎?』 比丘回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘:『仔細聽!仔細聽!好好思考,我將為你解說。』

The Buddha said to the monks, 'How is it that you broadly interpret the meaning in my brief teaching?' Then, that monk said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, if form is subject to the arising and passing away of defilements; subject to the arising and passing away of defilements, then it increases in number. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, if they are subject to the arising and passing away of defilements; subject to the arising and passing away of defilements, then they increase in number.' 'Venerable Sir, if form is not subject to the arising and passing away of defilements; not subject to the arising and passing away of defilements, then it does not increase in number. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, if they are not subject to the arising and passing away of defilements; not subject to the arising and passing away of defilements, then they do not increase in number. Venerable Sir, this is how I broadly interpret the meaning in your brief teaching.' In this way, he eventually attained Arhatship, and his mind was liberated. (One Seven) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. A certain monk rose from his seat, arranged his upper robe over one shoulder, and with his palms together, said to the Buddha, 'Excellent, Venerable Sir! Please give me a brief teaching on the essence of the Dharma. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, and abide in non-negligence: 'Why did a good man leave home, shave his head and beard, wear the robes, leave his family and go forth to practice the Way, for the sake of the ultimate, unsurpassed holy life, realizing in this very life: 「Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, I know for myself that there is no more future existence.」』 Then, the Buddha said to that monk, 'Good, good! You say this: 'Venerable Sir! Please give me a brief teaching on the essence of the Dharma, and in that brief teaching, I will broadly interpret its meaning, and I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, and abide in non-negligence, until I know for myself that there is no more future existence.' Is that what you said?' The monk replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to the monk, 'Listen carefully! Listen carefully! Reflect well, and I will explain it to you.'


。比丘!非汝所應之法,宜速斷除。斷彼法者,以義饒益,長夜安樂。」

時,彼比丘白佛言:「知已。世尊!知已。善逝!」

佛告比丘:「云何於我略說法中,廣解其義?」

比丘白佛言:「世尊!色非我所應,宜速斷除;受、想、行、識非我所應,宜速斷除。以義饒益,長夜安樂。是故,世尊!我於世尊略說法中,廣解其義。」

佛言:「善哉!善哉!比丘!汝於我略說法中,廣解其義。所以者何?色者非汝所應,宜速斷除。如是受、想、行、識非汝所應,宜速斷除。斷除已,以義饒益,長夜安樂。」

時,彼比丘聞佛所說,心大歡喜,禮佛而退。獨一靜處,精勤修習,住不放逸。精勤修習,住不放逸已,思惟:「所以善男子出家,剃除鬚髮,身著法服,正信非家出家,乃至自知不受後有。」

時,彼比丘成阿羅漢,心得解脫。

(一八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,有異比丘從座起,偏袒右肩,為佛作禮,卻住一面,而白佛言:「善哉!世尊!為我略說法要,我聞法已,當獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至自知不受後有

『比丘們!那些不屬於你們的法,應該迅速斷除。斷除這些法,能帶來利益,長久安樂。』 當時,那位比丘對佛說:『我明白了,世尊!我明白了,善逝!』 佛告訴比丘:『你如何在我略說的法中,廣解其義呢?』 比丘對佛說:『世尊!色不是我所應有的,應該迅速斷除;受、想、行、識不是我所應有的,應該迅速斷除。這樣能帶來利益,長久安樂。所以,世尊!我從世尊略說的法中,廣解其義。』 佛說:『好啊!好啊!比丘!你從我略說的法中,廣解其義。為什麼呢?色不是你所應有的,應該迅速斷除。同樣,受、想、行、識不是你所應有的,應該迅速斷除。斷除之後,能帶來利益,長久安樂。』 當時,那位比丘聽了佛所說,心中非常歡喜,向佛頂禮後退下。獨自一人到安靜的地方,精勤修行,安住于不放逸。精勤修行,安住于不放逸后,他思惟:『善男子出家,剃除鬚髮,身著法服,以正信出家,乃至自知不受後有,就是爲了這個。』 當時,那位比丘成了阿羅漢,心得解脫。 (一八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,向佛頂禮,然後站到一邊,對佛說:『善哉!世尊!請為我略說法的要義,我聽了法后,將獨自一人到安靜的地方,專心思考,安住于不放逸,乃至自知不受後有。』

'Monks! Those things that do not belong to you, should be quickly abandoned. Abandoning those things brings benefit and long-lasting happiness.' Then, that monk said to the Buddha: 'I understand, Venerable Sir! I understand, Well-gone One!' The Buddha said to the monk: 'How do you broadly understand the meaning in my brief teaching?' The monk said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir! Form is not what I should possess, it should be quickly abandoned; feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are not what I should possess, they should be quickly abandoned. This brings benefit and long-lasting happiness. Therefore, Venerable Sir! I broadly understand the meaning from the Venerable Sir's brief teaching.' The Buddha said: 'Well done! Well done! Monk! You broadly understand the meaning from my brief teaching. Why is that? Form is not what you should possess, it should be quickly abandoned. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are not what you should possess, they should be quickly abandoned. Having abandoned them, it brings benefit and long-lasting happiness.' Then, that monk, having heard what the Buddha said, was very happy in his heart, bowed to the Buddha and withdrew. Alone in a quiet place, he diligently practiced, dwelling in non-negligence. Having diligently practiced, dwelling in non-negligence, he reflected: 'This is why a good man goes forth from home, shaves his hair and beard, wears the robes, goes forth from home with faith, even to the point of knowing for himself that there is no more future existence.' Then, that monk became an Arhat, his mind was liberated. (18) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, a certain monk rose from his seat, arranged his upper robe over one shoulder, bowed to the Buddha, and stood to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir! It would be good if the Venerable Sir would briefly teach me the essence of the Dharma. Having heard the Dharma, I will go alone to a quiet place, concentrate my thoughts, dwell in non-negligence, even to the point of knowing for myself that there is no more future existence.'


。」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝作如是說:『世尊!為我略說法要,我聞法已,當獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至自知不受後有。』耶?」

時,彼比丘白佛言:「如是,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「諦聽!諦聽!善思念之,當爲汝說。若非汝所應,亦非餘人所應,此法宜速除斷。斷彼法已,以義饒益,長夜安樂。」

時,彼比丘白佛言:「知已。世尊!知已。善逝!」

佛告比丘:「云何於我略說法中,廣解其義?」

比丘白佛言:「世尊!色非我、非我所應,亦非餘人所應,是法宜速除斷。斷彼法已,以義饒益,長夜安樂。如是受、想、行、識,非我、非我所應,亦非餘人所應,宜速除斷,斷彼法已,以義饒益,長夜安樂。是故,我于如來略說法中,廣解其義。」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝云何於我略說法中,廣解其義?所以者何?比丘!色非我、非我所應,亦非餘人所應,是法宜速除斷。斷彼法已,以義饒益,長夜安樂。如是受、想、行、識,非我、非我所應,亦非餘人所應,是法宜速除斷。斷彼法已,以義饒益,長夜安樂。」

時,彼比丘聞佛所說,心大歡喜,禮佛而退。獨一靜處,精勤修習,不放逸住,乃至自知不受後有

現代漢語譯本 佛陀對比丘說:『好啊!好啊!你這樣說:『世尊!請為我簡略地說一下佛法的要義,我聽聞佛法后,應當獨自一人在清靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不懈怠地修行,直到自己了知不再有來世的輪迴。』是這樣嗎?』 當時,那位比丘對佛陀說:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀對比丘說:『仔細聽!仔細聽!好好地思考,我將為你解說。如果不是你所應該執著的,也不是其他人所應該執著的,這種法就應該迅速地去除斷絕。斷絕這種法后,就能獲得真正的利益,長久地安樂。』 當時,那位比丘對佛陀說:『明白了,世尊!明白了,善逝!』 佛陀對比丘說:『你如何在我簡略的說法中,廣泛地理解了它的含義呢?』 比丘對佛陀說:『世尊!色不是我,也不是我所擁有的,也不是其他人所擁有的,這種法應該迅速地去除斷絕。斷絕這種法后,就能獲得真正的利益,長久地安樂。同樣,感受、思想、行為、意識,不是我,也不是我所擁有的,也不是其他人所擁有的,應該迅速地去除斷絕。斷絕這種法后,就能獲得真正的利益,長久地安樂。因此,我從如來簡略的說法中,廣泛地理解了它的含義。』 佛陀對比丘說:『好啊!好啊!你如何在我簡略的說法中,廣泛地理解了它的含義?這是因為,比丘!色不是我,也不是我所擁有的,也不是其他人所擁有的,這種法應該迅速地去除斷絕。斷絕這種法后,就能獲得真正的利益,長久地安樂。同樣,感受、思想、行為、意識,不是我,也不是我所擁有的,也不是其他人所擁有的,這種法應該迅速地去除斷絕。斷絕這種法后,就能獲得真正的利益,長久地安樂。』 當時,那位比丘聽聞佛陀所說,心中非常歡喜,向佛陀頂禮後退下。獨自一人在清靜的地方,精勤地修行,不懈怠地住持,直到自己了知不再有來世的輪迴。

English version The Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'Well said! Well said! You have said, 「Venerable Sir, may the Blessed One teach me the Dhamma in brief, so that, having heard the Dhamma, I may dwell alone in seclusion, diligent, ardent, and resolute, until I realize for myself that there is no more coming to be.」 Is that so?' Then that bhikkhu said to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir.' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'Listen carefully, listen carefully, and pay close attention, I will speak to you. Whatever is not yours, nor belongs to anyone else, that Dhamma should be quickly abandoned. Having abandoned that Dhamma, one benefits from the meaning, and dwells in long-lasting happiness.' Then that bhikkhu said to the Buddha, 'I understand, Venerable Sir! I understand, O Blessed One!' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'How have you broadly understood the meaning in my brief teaching?' The bhikkhu said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, form is not-self, nor does it belong to me, nor does it belong to anyone else, that Dhamma should be quickly abandoned. Having abandoned that Dhamma, one benefits from the meaning, and dwells in long-lasting happiness. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are not-self, nor do they belong to me, nor do they belong to anyone else, they should be quickly abandoned. Having abandoned that Dhamma, one benefits from the meaning, and dwells in long-lasting happiness. Therefore, I have broadly understood the meaning in the Tathagata's brief teaching.' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'Well said! Well said! How have you broadly understood the meaning in my brief teaching? Because, bhikkhu, form is not-self, nor does it belong to me, nor does it belong to anyone else, that Dhamma should be quickly abandoned. Having abandoned that Dhamma, one benefits from the meaning, and dwells in long-lasting happiness. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are not-self, nor do they belong to me, nor do they belong to anyone else, that Dhamma should be quickly abandoned. Having abandoned that Dhamma, one benefits from the meaning, and dwells in long-lasting happiness.' Then that bhikkhu, having heard what the Buddha said, was greatly delighted, paid homage to the Buddha, and departed. Dwelling alone in seclusion, he practiced diligently, ardently, and resolutely, until he realized for himself that there was no more coming to be.


時,彼比丘心得解脫,成阿羅漢。

(一九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,有異比丘從座起,為佛作禮,而白佛言:「世尊!為我略說法要,我聞法已,當獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住。不放逸住已,思惟:『所以善男子正信家非家出家,乃至自知不受後有。』」

爾時,世尊告彼比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝今作是說:『善哉!世尊!為我略說法要,我聞法已,當獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至自知不受後有。』耶?」

比丘白佛言:「如是,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「諦聽!諦聽!善思念之,當爲汝說。比丘!結所繫法宜速除斷,斷彼法已,以義饒益,長夜安樂。」

時,彼比丘白佛言:「知已。世尊!知已。善逝!」

佛告比丘:「汝云何於我略說法中,廣解其義?」

比丘白佛言:「世尊!色是結所繫法,是結所繫法宜速除斷。斷彼法已,以義饒益,長夜安樂。如是受、想、行、識結所繫法,是結所繫法宜速除斷。斷彼法已,以義饒益,長夜安樂。是故我於世尊略說法中,廣解其義。」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝於我略說法中,廣解其義

現代漢語譯本: 那時,那位比丘內心獲得解脫,成為阿羅漢。

(一九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,向佛陀行禮,然後對佛陀說:『世尊!請為我簡略地說一下佛法的要義,我聽聞佛法后,將獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不懈怠地修行。不懈怠地修行后,我會思考:『為什麼善男子會以正信的緣故,離開家庭而出家,乃至最終自己知道不再有來世。』

這時,世尊告訴那位比丘:『好啊!好啊!你現在這樣說:『好啊!世尊!請為我簡略地說一下佛法的要義,我聽聞佛法后,將獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不懈怠地修行,乃至最終自己知道不再有來世。』是這樣嗎?』

比丘回答佛陀說:『是的,世尊!』

佛陀告訴比丘:『仔細聽!仔細聽!好好思考,我將為你解說。比丘!被束縛的法應當迅速斷除,斷除這些法后,就能獲得利益,長久安樂。』

當時,那位比丘對佛陀說:『明白了,世尊!明白了,善逝!』

佛陀告訴比丘:『你如何在我簡略的說法中,廣泛地理解了它的含義?』

比丘回答佛陀說:『世尊!色是束縛的法,這些束縛的法應當迅速斷除。斷除這些法后,就能獲得利益,長久安樂。同樣,受、想、行、識也是束縛的法,這些束縛的法應當迅速斷除。斷除這些法后,就能獲得利益,長久安樂。因此,我從世尊簡略的說法中,廣泛地理解了它的含義。』

佛陀告訴比丘:『好啊!好啊!你從我簡略的說法中,廣泛地理解了它的含義。

English version: Then, that bhikkhu's mind was liberated, and he became an Arhat.

(19)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, a certain bhikkhu rose from his seat, paid homage to the Buddha, and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, please briefly explain the essence of the Dharma to me. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, and live without negligence. Having lived without negligence, I will contemplate: 'Why does a good man, with right faith, leave home and go forth from the household life, even to the point of knowing for himself that there is no more future existence?'

Then, the Blessed One said to that bhikkhu, 'Good, good! You now say this: 'Good, Venerable Sir! Please briefly explain the essence of the Dharma to me. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, and live without negligence, even to the point of knowing for myself that there is no more future existence.' Is that so?'

The bhikkhu replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!'

The Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'Listen carefully! Listen carefully! Reflect well, and I will explain it to you. Bhikkhu! The laws that are bound by fetters should be quickly cut off. Having cut off those laws, one will benefit from the meaning and have long-lasting peace.'

Then, that bhikkhu said to the Buddha, 'Understood, Venerable Sir! Understood, Well-gone One!'

The Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'How did you broadly understand the meaning in my brief explanation?'

The bhikkhu replied to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir! Form is a law bound by fetters, and these laws bound by fetters should be quickly cut off. Having cut off those laws, one will benefit from the meaning and have long-lasting peace. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are laws bound by fetters, and these laws bound by fetters should be quickly cut off. Having cut off those laws, one will benefit from the meaning and have long-lasting peace. Therefore, I have broadly understood the meaning in the Blessed One's brief explanation.'

The Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'Good, good! You have broadly understood the meaning in my brief explanation.'


。所以者何?色是結所繫法,此法宜速除斷,斷彼法已,以義饒益,長夜安樂。如是受、想、行、識是結所繫法,此法宜速除斷,斷彼法已,以義饒益,長夜安樂。」

時,彼比丘聞佛所說,心大歡喜,禮佛而退,獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至心得解脫,成阿羅漢。

(二〇)

染經亦如是說。

(二一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,有異比丘從座起,為佛作禮,而白佛言:「世尊!為我略說法要,我聞法已,當獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住。不放逸住已,思惟:『所以善男子正信非家出家,乃至自知不受後有。』」

爾時,世尊告彼比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝今作是說:『善哉!世尊!為我略說法要,我聞法已,當獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至自知不受後有。』耶?」

比丘白佛言:「如是,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「諦聽!諦聽!善思念之,當爲汝說。比丘!動搖時,則為魔所縛;若不動者,則解脫波旬。」

比丘白佛言:「知已。世尊!知已。善逝!」

佛告比丘:「汝云何於我略說法中,廣解其義?」

比丘白佛言:「世尊!色動搖時,則為魔所縛;若不動者,則解脫波旬

這是為什麼呢?因為色是束縛的法,這種法應該迅速去除斷絕。斷絕了這種法之後,就能以正義利益,獲得長久的安樂。同樣,受、想、行、識也是束縛的法,這種法應該迅速去除斷絕。斷絕了這種法之後,就能以正義利益,獲得長久的安樂。 當時,那位比丘聽了佛所說的話,心中非常歡喜,向佛行禮後退下,獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不懈怠地修行,最終心得解脫,成為阿羅漢。 (二〇) 《染經》也是這樣說的。 (二一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,向佛行禮,然後對佛說:『世尊!請您為我簡略地說一下佛法的要義,我聽了佛法之後,會獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不懈怠地修行。不懈怠地修行之後,我會思考:『為什麼善男子會以正信出家,乃至自己知道不再有來世。』 當時,世尊告訴那位比丘:『很好!很好!你現在這樣說:『很好!世尊!請您為我簡略地說一下佛法的要義,我聽了佛法之後,會獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不懈怠地修行,乃至自己知道不再有來世。』是嗎?』 比丘回答佛說:『是的,世尊!』 佛告訴比丘:『仔細聽!仔細聽!好好思考,我將為你解說。比丘!當動搖時,就會被魔所束縛;如果不動搖,就能解脫魔的控制。』 比丘回答佛說:『明白了,世尊!明白了,善逝!』 佛告訴比丘:『你如何在我簡略的說法中,廣泛地理解了它的含義?』 比丘回答佛說:『世尊!當色動搖時,就會被魔所束縛;如果不動搖,就能解脫魔的控制。

Why is that? Because form is a dharma bound by fetters. This dharma should be quickly removed and severed. Having severed this dharma, one benefits from righteousness and attains long-lasting peace. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are dharmas bound by fetters. These dharmas should be quickly removed and severed. Having severed these dharmas, one benefits from righteousness and attains long-lasting peace. Then, that bhikkhu, having heard what the Buddha said, was greatly delighted. He bowed to the Buddha and withdrew, going to a solitary and quiet place. He diligently contemplated, dwelling without negligence, until his mind was liberated and he became an Arhat. (20) The 'Defilement Sutra' also says the same. (21) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, a certain bhikkhu rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, please briefly explain the essence of the Dharma to me. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, and live without negligence. Having lived without negligence, I will contemplate: 'Why does a good man, with right faith, go forth from home into homelessness, even to the point of knowing that he will not have a future existence?' Then, the Blessed One said to that bhikkhu: 'Well said! Well said! You now say this: 'Well said! Venerable Sir! Please briefly explain the essence of the Dharma to me. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, and live without negligence, even to the point of knowing that I will not have a future existence.' Is that so?' The bhikkhu replied to the Buddha: 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu: 'Listen carefully! Listen carefully! Reflect well, and I will explain it to you. Bhikkhu! When there is agitation, one is bound by Mara; if there is no agitation, one is liberated from the control of Mara.' The bhikkhu replied to the Buddha: 'I understand, Venerable Sir! I understand, Well-gone One!' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu: 'How have you broadly understood the meaning in my brief explanation?' The bhikkhu replied to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir! When form is agitated, one is bound by Mara; if it is not agitated, one is liberated from the control of Mara.'


。如是受、想、行、識動搖時,則為魔所縛;若不動者,則解脫波旬。是故我於世尊略說法中,廣解其義。」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝於我略說法中,廣解其義。所以者何?若色動搖時,則為魔所縛;若不動者,則解脫波旬。如是受、想、行、識動搖時,則為魔所縛;若不動者,則解脫波旬。」乃至自知不受後有,心得解脫,成阿羅漢。

(二二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,有比丘名劫波,來詣佛所,頭面禮足,卻住一面,白佛言:「如世尊說,比丘心得善解脫。世尊!云何比丘心得善解脫?」

爾時,世尊告劫波曰:「善哉!善哉!能問如來心善解脫。善哉!劫波!諦聽!諦聽!善思念之,當爲汝說。劫波!當觀知諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切悉皆無常。正觀無常已,色愛即除。色愛除已,心善解脫。如是觀受、想、行、識,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外、若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切悉皆無常。正觀無常已,識愛即除。識愛除已,我說心善解脫。劫波!如是,比丘心善解脫者,如來說名心善解脫。所以者何?愛慾斷故

現代漢語譯本:如果受、想、行、識動搖不定,就會被魔所束縛;如果心不動搖,就能解脫魔的控制。因此,我從世尊簡略的說法中,廣泛地理解了其中的含義。 佛陀告訴比丘:『說得好!說得好!你從我簡略的說法中,廣泛地理解了其中的含義。這是為什麼呢?如果色動搖不定,就會被魔所束縛;如果心不動搖,就能解脫魔的控制。同樣,受、想、行、識動搖不定,就會被魔所束縛;如果心不動搖,就能解脫魔的控制。』直到自己知道不再有後世的生命,內心得到解脫,成為阿羅漢。 (二二) 我聽到的是這樣的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫劫波的比丘來到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足后,退到一旁,對佛陀說:『正如世尊所說,比丘的心能得到善解脫。世尊!什麼樣的比丘才能得到心的善解脫呢?』 這時,世尊告訴劫波說:『問得好!問得好!你能問如來關於心善解脫的問題。劫波!仔細聽!仔細聽!好好思考,我將為你解說。劫波!應當觀察並瞭解所有色,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細微,無論是美好還是醜陋,無論是遙遠還是臨近,它們都是無常的。正確地觀察到無常之後,對色的愛慾就會消除。對色的愛慾消除之後,心就能得到善解脫。同樣地,觀察受、想、行、識,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細微,無論是美好還是醜陋,無論是遙遠還是臨近,它們都是無常的。正確地觀察到無常之後,對識的愛慾就會消除。對識的愛慾消除之後,我就說心得到了善解脫。劫波!像這樣,比丘的心得到善解脫,如來就稱之為心善解脫。這是為什麼呢?因為愛慾已經斷除了。』

English version: If feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness are shaken, one is bound by Mara; if they are not shaken, one is liberated from the control of Mara. Therefore, from the Buddha's brief teachings, I have broadly understood their meaning. The Buddha told the monks, 'Excellent! Excellent! You have broadly understood the meaning from my brief teachings. Why is this so? If form is shaken, one is bound by Mara; if it is not shaken, one is liberated from the control of Mara. Likewise, if feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness are shaken, one is bound by Mara; if they are not shaken, one is liberated from the control of Mara.' Until one knows for oneself that there is no more future existence, the mind is liberated, and one becomes an Arhat. (22) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, there was a monk named Kappa who came to the Buddha, bowed his head at his feet, and stood to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'As the World-Honored One has said, a monk's mind can attain good liberation. World-Honored One! How does a monk's mind attain good liberation?' Then, the World-Honored One said to Kappa, 'Excellent! Excellent! You are able to ask the Tathagata about the good liberation of the mind. Kappa! Listen carefully! Listen carefully! Think well, and I will explain it to you. Kappa! You should observe and understand that all forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of them are impermanent. Having correctly observed impermanence, the desire for form is eliminated. When the desire for form is eliminated, the mind attains good liberation. Likewise, observe feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of them are impermanent. Having correctly observed impermanence, the desire for consciousness is eliminated. When the desire for consciousness is eliminated, I say the mind attains good liberation. Kappa! In this way, when a monk's mind attains good liberation, the Tathagata calls it good liberation of the mind. Why is this so? Because desire has been cut off.'


。愛慾斷者,如來說名心善解脫。」

時,劫波比丘聞佛所說,心大歡喜,禮佛而退。

爾時,劫波比丘受佛教已,獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住。乃至自知不受後有。心善解脫,成阿羅漢。

(二三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,尊者羅睺羅往詣佛所,頭面禮足,卻住一面,白佛言:「世尊!云何知、云何見我此識身及外境界一切相,能令無有我、我所見、我慢使繫著?」

佛告羅睺羅:「善哉!善哉!能問如來:『云何知、云何見我此識身及外境界一切相,令無有我、我所見、我慢使繫著?』耶。」

羅睺羅白佛言:「如是,世尊!」

佛告羅睺羅:「善哉!諦聽!諦聽!善思念之,當爲汝說。羅睺羅!當觀若所有諸色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切悉皆非我、不異我、不相在,如是平等慧正觀。如是受、想、行、識,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在。如是平等慧如實觀。

「如是,羅睺羅!比丘如是知、如是見

現代漢語譯本:'如果愛慾被斷除,如來稱之為心善解脫。' 當時,劫波比丘聽聞佛陀所說,心中非常歡喜,向佛陀頂禮後退下。 那時,劫波比丘接受佛陀的教誨后,獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不懈怠地修行,最終自己知道不再有後世的生命。他的心得到徹底的解脫,成為阿羅漢。 (二三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,尊者羅睺羅前往佛陀的住所,頭面頂禮佛足,然後退到一旁,對佛陀說:'世尊!如何知曉、如何觀察我這個識身以及外在的一切境界,才能使我沒有我、我所的見解,以及我慢的束縛?' 佛陀告訴羅睺羅:'很好!很好!你能問如來:『如何知曉、如何觀察我這個識身以及外在的一切境界,才能使我沒有我、我所的見解,以及我慢的束縛?』' 羅睺羅對佛陀說:'是的,世尊!' 佛陀告訴羅睺羅:'很好!仔細聽!仔細聽!好好思考,我將為你解說。羅睺羅!應當觀察所有色,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細微,無論是美好還是醜陋,無論是遙遠還是臨近,它們都不是我,不異於我,也不存在於我之中,應當以這樣的平等智慧正確地觀察。同樣,受、想、行、識,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細微,無論是美好還是醜陋,無論是遙遠還是臨近,它們都不是我,不異於我,也不存在於我之中。應當以這樣的平等智慧如實地觀察。' '如此,羅睺羅!比丘如此知曉、如此觀察'

English version: 'If desire is severed, the Tathagata calls it a mind well liberated.' At that time, the monk Kaphila, having heard what the Buddha said, was greatly delighted, bowed to the Buddha, and withdrew. Then, the monk Kaphila, having received the Buddha's teaching, went to a solitary and quiet place, focused his mind on diligent contemplation, and lived without negligence. Eventually, he knew for himself that he would not be reborn. His mind was well liberated, and he became an Arhat. (23) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the venerable Rahula went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at his feet, and stood to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, how should one know, how should one see this body of consciousness and all external realms, so that there is no view of self, of what belongs to self, and no attachment to the conceit of self?' The Buddha said to Rahula: 'Well done! Well done! You are able to ask the Tathagata: 「How should one know, how should one see this body of consciousness and all external realms, so that there is no view of self, of what belongs to self, and no attachment to the conceit of self?」' Rahula said to the Buddha: 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to Rahula: 'Well done! Listen carefully! Listen carefully! Reflect well, and I will explain it to you. Rahula! One should observe all forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of them are not self, not different from self, and not within self. One should observe with such equal wisdom. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of them are not self, not different from self, and not within self. One should observe with such equal wisdom, truly.', 'Thus, Rahula! A monk who knows and sees in this way'


。如是知、如是見者,於此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢使繫著。

「羅睺羅!比丘若如是於此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢使系著者,比丘是名斷愛慾,轉去諸結,正無間等,究竟苦邊。」

時,羅睺羅聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城伽蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告羅睺羅:「比丘!云何知、云何見我此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢使繫著?」

羅睺羅白佛言:「世尊為法主、為導、為覆。善哉!世尊當爲諸比丘演說此義,諸比丘從佛聞已,當受持奉行。」

佛告羅睺羅:「諦聽!諦聽!善思念之,當爲汝說。」

羅睺羅白佛:「唯然,受教。」

佛告羅睺羅:「當觀諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在。如是平等慧如實觀。如是受、想、行、識,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在。如是平等慧如實觀。

「比丘!如是知、如是見我此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢使繫著

現代漢語譯本:如果這樣知道、這樣觀察,對於這個有意識的身體以及外在境界的一切現象,就不會有『我』、『我的』的見解,也不會有我慢的束縛。 羅睺羅!如果比丘對於這個有意識的身體以及外在境界的一切現象,沒有『我』、『我的』的見解,也沒有我慢的束縛,那麼這個比丘就稱為斷除了愛慾,轉離了各種束縛,真正地無間斷地到達了苦的盡頭。 當時,羅睺羅聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地接受並實行。 (二四) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛住在王舍城的伽蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴羅睺羅:『比丘!如何知道、如何觀察,才能使你對於這個有意識的身體以及外在境界的一切現象,沒有『我』、『我的』的見解,也沒有我慢的束縛呢?』 羅睺羅對佛說:『世尊是法的導師、引導者、庇護者。太好了!世尊應當為各位比丘解說這個道理,各位比丘聽了佛的教誨后,應當接受並實行。』 佛告訴羅睺羅:『仔細聽!仔細聽!好好思考,我將為你解說。』 羅睺羅對佛說:『是的,我接受教誨。』 佛告訴羅睺羅:『應當觀察所有色,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細微,無論是好還是醜,無論是遠還是近,它們都不是『我』,不異於『我』,也不存在於『我』之中。應當用這樣的平等智慧如實地觀察。同樣,受、想、行、識,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細微,無論是好還是醜,無論是遠還是近,它們都不是『我』,不異於『我』,也不存在於『我』之中。應當用這樣的平等智慧如實地觀察。 比丘!如果這樣知道、這樣觀察,你對於這個有意識的身體以及外在境界的一切現象,就不會有『我』、『我的』的見解,也不會有我慢的束縛。』

English version: One who knows and sees in this way, regarding this conscious body and all external phenomena, has no view of 'I' or 'mine,' and is not bound by the conceit of 'I'. Rahula! If a bhikkhu, regarding this conscious body and all external phenomena, has no view of 'I' or 'mine,' and is not bound by the conceit of 'I,' then that bhikkhu is said to have abandoned desire, turned away from all fetters, truly and uninterruptedly reached the end of suffering. At that time, Rahula, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. (24) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagaha. Then, the Blessed One said to Rahula: 'Bhikkhu! How does one know and see so that regarding this conscious body and all external phenomena, there is no view of 'I' or 'mine,' and no binding by the conceit of 'I'?' Rahula said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, the Blessed One is the master of the Dharma, the guide, the protector. Excellent! May the Blessed One explain this meaning to the bhikkhus, so that having heard it from the Buddha, they may accept and practice it.' The Buddha said to Rahula: 'Listen carefully! Listen carefully! Reflect well, and I will explain it to you.' Rahula said to the Buddha: 'Yes, Venerable Sir, I will listen.' The Buddha said to Rahula: 'Observe all forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether far or near, all of them are not 'I,' not different from 'I,' and not within 'I.' Observe with such equanimity and wisdom. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether far or near, all of them are not 'I,' not different from 'I,' and not within 'I.' Observe with such equanimity and wisdom.' 'Bhikkhu! If one knows and sees in this way, regarding this conscious body and all external phenomena, there is no view of 'I' or 'mine,' and no binding by the conceit of 'I'.'


「羅睺羅!比丘如是識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢使系著者,超越疑心,遠離諸相,寂靜解脫,是名比丘斷除愛慾,轉去諸結,正無間等,究竟苦邊。」

時,羅睺羅聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

使、增諸數  非我、非彼  結系、動搖  劫波所問  亦羅睺羅  所問二經

(二五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘來詣佛所,為佛作禮,卻住一面,白佛言:「如世尊說多聞,云何為多聞?」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝今問我多聞義耶?」

比丘白佛:「唯然,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。比丘當知,若聞色是生厭、離欲、滅盡、寂靜法,是名多聞;如是聞受、想、行、識,是生厭、離欲、滅盡、寂靜法,是名多聞比丘,是名如來所說多聞。」

時,彼比丘聞佛所說,踴躍歡喜,作禮而去。

(二六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 『羅睺羅!比丘如果這樣認識自身和外在世界的一切現象,沒有『我』、『我所』的見解,沒有我慢的束縛,超越了疑惑,遠離了各種表象,達到寂靜解脫,這樣的比丘就斷除了愛慾,解開了各種束縛,真正地無間斷地達到苦的盡頭。』 當時,羅睺羅聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地接受並實行。 使、增加各種數量,非我、非他,束縛、動搖,劫波所問,也是羅睺羅所問的兩部經。 (二五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘來到佛陀那裡,向佛陀行禮后,退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊說多聞,什麼是多聞呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『好啊!好啊!你現在問我多聞的含義嗎?』 比丘對佛陀說:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。比丘應當知道,如果聽到色是令人厭惡、離欲、滅盡、寂靜的法,這稱為多聞;同樣,聽到受、想、行、識是令人厭惡、離欲、滅盡、寂靜的法,這稱為多聞。比丘,這稱為如來所說的多聞。』 當時,那位比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜踴躍,行禮后離開了。 (二六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version 'Rahula! If a bhikkhu thus understands all phenomena of the body and external world, without any view of 'I' or 'mine,' without the fetter of conceit, having transcended doubt, being free from all appearances, and attaining peaceful liberation, such a bhikkhu has cut off desire, broken all bonds, and truly, without interruption, reached the end of suffering.' Then, Rahula, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. Causes, increasing various numbers, not-I, not-other, bonds, shaking, what Kappa asked, also the two sutras that Rahula asked. (25) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, a certain bhikkhu came to the Buddha, paid homage to the Buddha, stood to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, you speak of much learning. What is much learning?' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu: 'Good, good! Do you now ask me about the meaning of much learning?' The bhikkhu said to the Buddha: 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. A bhikkhu should know that if one hears that form is a matter of aversion, dispassion, cessation, and peace, this is called much learning; likewise, hearing that feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are matters of aversion, dispassion, cessation, and peace, this is called much learning. Bhikkhu, this is called much learning as spoken by the Tathagata.' Then, that bhikkhu, having heard what the Buddha said, was overjoyed and delighted, paid homage, and departed. (26) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


爾時,有異比丘來詣佛所,頭面禮足,卻住一面,白佛言:「如世尊所說法師,云何名為法師?」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝今欲知如來所說法師義耶?」

比丘白佛:「唯然,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。」

佛告比丘:「若於色說是生厭、離欲、滅盡、寂靜法者,是名法師;若於受、想、行、識,說是生厭、離欲、滅盡、寂靜法者,是名法師,是名如來所說法師。」

時,彼比丘聞佛所說,踴躍歡喜,作禮而去。

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 當時,有一位比丘來到佛陀的住所,頂禮佛足后,退到一旁站立,向佛陀請教說:『世尊所說的法師,是怎樣被稱為法師的呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『很好!很好!你現在想了解如來所說的法師的含義嗎?』 比丘回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。』 佛陀告訴比丘:『如果對於色法,能宣說生起厭離、離欲、滅盡、寂靜之法,這就稱為法師;如果對於受、想、行、識,能宣說生起厭離、離欲、滅盡、寂靜之法,這就稱為法師,這就是如來所說的法師。』 當時,那位比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜踴躍,向佛陀作禮后離去。 (二七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘來到佛陀的住所,頂禮佛足后,退到一旁站立,向佛陀請教說:『世尊所說的法次法向,是怎樣的法次法向呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『很好!很好!你現在想了解法次法向嗎?』 比丘回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。比丘!對於色法,趨向厭離、離欲、滅盡,這稱為法次法向;同樣,對於受、想、行、識,對於識趨向厭離、離欲、滅盡,這稱為法次法向。』 當時,那位比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜踴躍,向佛陀作禮后離去。 (二八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version At that time, a certain bhikkhu came to the Buddha, bowed his head to his feet, and stood to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'As the World-Honored One has spoken of a Dharma teacher, how is one called a Dharma teacher?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'Excellent! Excellent! Do you now wish to know the meaning of a Dharma teacher as spoken by the Tathagata?' The bhikkhu replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, World-Honored One!' The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.' The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'If, regarding form, one speaks of the Dharma of generating aversion, detachment, cessation, and tranquility, that is called a Dharma teacher; if, regarding feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, one speaks of the Dharma of generating aversion, detachment, cessation, and tranquility, that is called a Dharma teacher, that is called a Dharma teacher as spoken by the Tathagata.'

The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. Bhikkhu! Regarding form, turning towards aversion, detachment, and cessation, this is called the Dharma-following-Dharma; likewise, regarding feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, regarding consciousness, turning towards aversion, detachment, and cessation, this is called the Dharma-following-Dharma.' At that time, that bhikkhu, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted, bowed to the Buddha, and departed.

現代漢語譯本: 當時,有一位不同的比丘來到佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足后,退到一旁站立,對佛陀說:『世尊!正如世尊所說,能夠見到法的涅槃,那麼比丘如何才能見到法的涅槃呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『很好!很好!你現在想知道如何見到法的涅槃嗎?』 比丘對佛陀說:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。』 佛陀告訴比丘:『對於色(物質)產生厭惡、脫離慾望、滅盡,不再產生各種煩惱,內心獲得真正的解脫,這就叫做比丘見到法的涅槃;同樣,對於受(感受)、想(思維)、行(意志)、識(意識),對於識產生厭惡、脫離慾望、滅盡,不再產生各種煩惱,內心獲得真正的解脫,這就叫做比丘見到法的涅槃。』 當時,那位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜雀躍,行禮后離去。

The Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'Good! Good! Do you now wish to know how to see the Dharma Nirvana?' The bhikkhu said to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'When one feels aversion towards form (materiality), detachment from desire, and cessation, and no longer generates defilements, and the mind is truly liberated, this is called a bhikkhu seeing the Dharma Nirvana; likewise, regarding feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, when one feels aversion towards consciousness, detachment from desire, and cessation, and no longer generates defilements, and the mind is truly liberated, this is called a bhikkhu seeing the Dharma Nirvana.' Then, that bhikkhu, having heard what the Buddha said, was overjoyed and delighted, paid his respects, and departed.

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

At that time, a certain bhikkhu named Sammiti came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to the ground at his feet, stood to one side, and said to the Buddha, 'As the Venerable Sir speaks of a Dharma teacher, what is called a Dharma teacher?' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'Do you now wish to know the meaning of a Dharma teacher?' The bhikkhu said to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. If a bhikkhu speaks of aversion, detachment from desire, and cessation regarding form (materiality), this is called a Dharma teacher. Likewise, regarding feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, if one speaks of aversion, detachment from desire, and cessation regarding consciousness, this is called a Dharma teacher.' Then, that bhikkhu, having heard what the Buddha said, was overjoyed and delighted, paid his respects, and departed.


多聞、善說法  向法及涅槃  三蜜離提問  云何說法師

(三〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,尊者舍利弗在耆阇崛山中。

時,有長者子名輸屢那。日日遊行,到耆阇崛山,詣尊者舍利弗,問訊起居已,卻坐一面,語舍利弗言:「若諸沙門、婆羅門于無常色、變易、不安隱色言:『我勝、我等、我劣。』何故沙門、婆羅門作如是想,而不見真實?若沙門、婆羅門于無常、變易、不安隱受、想、行、識而言:『我勝、我等、我劣。』何故沙門、婆羅門作如是想,而不見真實?

「若沙門、婆羅門于無常色、不安隱色、變易言:『我勝、我等、我劣。』何所計而不見真實?于無常、變易、不安隱受、想、行、識言:『我勝、我等、我劣。』何所計而不見真實?」

「輸屢那!于汝意云何?色為常、為無常耶?」

答言:「無常。」

「輸屢那!若無常,為是苦耶?」

答言:「是苦。」

「輸屢那!若無常、苦,是變易法,于意云何?聖弟子于中見色是我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也。」

「輸屢那!于意云何?受、想、行、識為常、為無常?」

答言:「無常

現代漢語譯本 聽聞廣博,善於說法,趨向佛法及涅槃。 三密遠離提問,如何才是說法之師?

(三〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

當時,尊者舍利弗在耆阇崛山中。

這時,有一位名叫輸屢那的長者之子。他每天都前往耆阇崛山,拜訪尊者舍利弗,問候起居后,便坐在一旁,對舍利弗說:『如果沙門、婆羅門對於無常、變易、不安穩的色法說:「我勝、我等、我劣」,為什麼沙門、婆羅門會這樣想,而看不到真實?如果沙門、婆羅門對於無常、變易、不安穩的受、想、行、識說:「我勝、我等、我劣」,為什麼沙門、婆羅門會這樣想,而看不到真實?』

『如果沙門、婆羅門對於無常、不安穩、變易的色法說:「我勝、我等、我劣」,他們是執著于什麼而看不到真實?對於無常、變易、不安穩的受、想、行、識說:「我勝、我等、我劣」,他們是執著于什麼而看不到真實?』

『輸屢那!你認為如何?色法是常還是無常呢?』

回答說:『無常。』

『輸屢那!如果無常,那是苦嗎?』

回答說:『是苦。』

『輸屢那!如果無常、是苦、是變易之法,你認為如何?聖弟子在其中會認為色法是我、異於我、或與我相關嗎?』

回答說:『不會。』

『輸屢那!你認為如何?受、想、行、識是常還是無常?』

回答說:『無常。』

English version Well-learned, good at expounding the Dharma, towards the Dharma and Nirvana. The three secrets are far from questioning, how is one a teacher of the Dharma?

(30)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.

At that time, the venerable Sariputra was in Mount Gijjhakuta.

Then, there was a householder's son named Surluna. Daily, he would go to Mount Gijjhakuta, visit the venerable Sariputra, greet him, and after sitting down to one side, said to Sariputra: 'If the ascetics and Brahmins say of impermanent, changing, and unstable form: "I am superior, I am equal, I am inferior," why do the ascetics and Brahmins think like this and not see the truth? If the ascetics and Brahmins say of impermanent, changing, and unstable feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness: "I am superior, I am equal, I am inferior," why do the ascetics and Brahmins think like this and not see the truth?'

'If the ascetics and Brahmins say of impermanent, unstable, and changing form: "I am superior, I am equal, I am inferior," what do they cling to that they do not see the truth? If they say of impermanent, changing, and unstable feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness: "I am superior, I am equal, I am inferior," what do they cling to that they do not see the truth?'

'Surluna! What do you think? Is form permanent or impermanent?'

He replied: 'Impermanent.'

'Surluna! If it is impermanent, is it suffering?'

He replied: 'It is suffering.'

'Surluna! If it is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, what do you think? Does a noble disciple see form as self, different from self, or related to self?'

He replied: 'No.'

'Surluna! What do you think? Are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness permanent or impermanent?'

He replied: 'Impermanent.'


。」

「若無常,是苦耶?」

答言:「是苦。」

「輸屢那!識若無常、苦,是變易法,于意云何?聖弟子于中見識是我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也。」

「輸屢那!當知色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切色不是我、不異我、不相在,是名如實知。如是受、想、行、識,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切識不是我、不異我、不相在,是名如實知。輸屢那!如是於色、受、想、行、識生厭,離欲、解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

時,舍利弗說是經已,長者子輸屢那遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。時,長者子輸屢那見法得法,不由於他,于正法中,得無所畏。從坐起,偏袒右肩,胡跪合掌,白舍利弗言:「我今已度,我從今日歸依佛、歸依法、歸依僧,為優婆塞。我從今日已,盡壽命,清凈歸依三寶。」

時,長者子輸屢那聞舍利弗所說,歡喜踴躍,作禮而去。

(三一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,尊者舍利弗在耆阇崛山

現代漢語譯本 『如果無常,是苦嗎?』 回答說:『是苦。』 『輸屢那!如果識是無常、苦,是變易之法,你認為如何?聖弟子在其中會認為識是我、異我、或相在嗎?』 回答說:『不會。』 『輸屢那!應當知道色,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是美好、醜陋,無論是遙遠、臨近,所有這些色都不是我、不異於我、不相在,這叫做如實知。同樣,受、想、行、識,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是美好、醜陋,無論是遙遠、臨近,所有這些識都不是我、不異於我、不相在,這叫做如實知。輸屢那!像這樣對於色、受、想、行、識產生厭離,離欲、解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』 當時,舍利弗說完這部經后,長者子輸屢那遠離塵垢,獲得法眼清凈。當時,長者子輸屢那見法得法,不依賴於他人,在正法中,獲得無所畏懼。他從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,跪下合掌,對舍利弗說:『我今天已經得度,我從今天起皈依佛、皈依法、皈依僧,成為優婆塞。我從今天起,直到生命結束,都將清凈地皈依三寶。』 當時,長者子輸屢那聽了舍利弗所說,歡喜踴躍,行禮后離去。 (三一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,尊者舍利弗在耆阇崛山。

English version 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' He replied, 'It is suffering.' 'Shuluna! If consciousness is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, what do you think? Does a noble disciple see consciousness as 'I', 'different from I', or 'existing within I'?' He replied, 'No, he does not.' 'Shuluna! You should know that form, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all these forms are not 'I', not different from 'I', and not existing within 'I'. This is called knowing the truth. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all these consciousnesses are not 'I', not different from 'I', and not existing within 'I'. This is called knowing the truth. Shuluna! In this way, one becomes weary of form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, and through detachment, liberation, and the knowledge of liberation, one knows: 'Birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, and there is no more future existence.' At that time, after Shariputra finished speaking this discourse, the householder's son Shuluna was freed from dust and defilement, and his eye of the Dharma became clear. At that time, the householder's son Shuluna saw the Dharma and attained the Dharma, not relying on others, and in the true Dharma, he gained fearlessness. He rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, knelt down with his palms together, and said to Shariputra, 'Today I have been delivered. From today on, I take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, and become a lay disciple. From today until the end of my life, I will purely take refuge in the Three Jewels.' At that time, the householder's son Shuluna, having heard what Shariputra had said, was filled with joy and elation, paid his respects, and departed. (31) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the Venerable Shariputra was on Mount Gijjhakuta.


時,有長者子名輸屢那,日日遊行,到耆阇崛山,詣舍利弗所,頭面禮足,卻坐一面。

時,舍利弗謂:「輸屢那!若沙門、婆羅門於色不如實知,色集不如實知,色滅不如實知,色滅道跡不如實知故,輸屢那!當知此沙門、婆羅門不堪能斷色。如是沙門、婆羅門于受、想、行、識不如實知,識集不如實知,識滅不如實知,識滅道跡不如實知故,不堪能斷識。

「輸屢那!若沙門、婆羅門於色如實知,色集如實知,色滅如實知,色滅道跡如實知故,輸屢那!當知此沙門、婆羅門堪能斷色。如是,輸屢那!若沙門、婆羅門于受、想、行、識如實知,識集如實知,識滅如實知,識滅道跡如實知故,輸屢那!當知此沙門、婆羅門堪能斷識。

「輸屢那!于意云何?色為常、為無常耶?」

答言:「無常。」

又問:「若無常者,是苦耶?」

答言:「是苦。」

舍利弗言:「若色無常、苦者,是變易法,聖弟子寧于中見色是我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也。」

「輸屢那!如是受、想、行、識為常、為無常耶?」

答言:「無常。」

又問:「若無常者,是苦耶?」

答言:「是苦

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位名叫輸屢那的長者之子,他每天都前往耆阇崛山,拜訪舍利弗,以頭面禮拜他的雙足,然後退坐在一旁。 當時,舍利弗對輸屢那說:『輸屢那!如果沙門或婆羅門不能如實地瞭解色(物質),不能如實地瞭解色的生起,不能如實地瞭解色的滅去,不能如實地瞭解色滅去的途徑,輸屢那!你應該知道這些沙門或婆羅門不能斷除色。同樣的,如果這些沙門或婆羅門不能如實地瞭解受(感受)、想(概念)、行(意志)、識(意識),不能如實地瞭解識的生起,不能如實地瞭解識的滅去,不能如實地瞭解識滅去的途徑,他們就不能斷除識。』 『輸屢那!如果沙門或婆羅門能夠如實地瞭解色,如實地瞭解色的生起,如實地瞭解色的滅去,如實地瞭解色滅去的途徑,輸屢那!你應該知道這些沙門或婆羅門能夠斷除色。同樣的,輸屢那!如果沙門或婆羅門能夠如實地瞭解受、想、行、識,如實地瞭解識的生起,如實地瞭解識的滅去,如實地瞭解識滅去的途徑,輸屢那!你應該知道這些沙門或婆羅門能夠斷除識。』 『輸屢那!你認為如何?色是常住的還是無常的呢?』 回答說:『是無常的。』 又問:『如果它是無常的,那麼它是苦嗎?』 回答說:『是苦。』 舍利弗說:『如果色是無常的、是苦的,是會變化的,那麼聖弟子會認為色是我、異於我、或存在於我之中嗎?』 回答說:『不會。』 『輸屢那!那麼,受、想、行、識是常住的還是無常的呢?』 回答說:『是無常的。』 又問:『如果它是無常的,那麼它是苦嗎?』 回答說:『是苦。』

English version: At that time, there was a householder's son named Surluna, who would go to Mount Gijjhakuta every day, visit Sariputta, bow his head to his feet, and then sit down to one side. Then, Sariputta said to Surluna: 'Surluna! If a samana or brahmin does not truly understand form, does not truly understand the arising of form, does not truly understand the cessation of form, and does not truly understand the path leading to the cessation of form, Surluna! you should know that this samana or brahmin is incapable of abandoning form. Likewise, if these samanas or brahmins do not truly understand feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, do not truly understand the arising of consciousness, do not truly understand the cessation of consciousness, and do not truly understand the path leading to the cessation of consciousness, they are incapable of abandoning consciousness.' 'Surluna! If a samana or brahmin truly understands form, truly understands the arising of form, truly understands the cessation of form, and truly understands the path leading to the cessation of form, Surluna! you should know that this samana or brahmin is capable of abandoning form. Likewise, Surluna! if a samana or brahmin truly understands feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, truly understands the arising of consciousness, truly understands the cessation of consciousness, and truly understands the path leading to the cessation of consciousness, Surluna! you should know that this samana or brahmin is capable of abandoning consciousness.' 'Surluna! What do you think? Is form permanent or impermanent?' He replied: 'It is impermanent.' He asked again: 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' He replied: 'It is suffering.' Sariputta said: 'If form is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, would a noble disciple consider form to be 'I', 'different from I', or 'existing within I'?' He replied: 'No, he would not.' 'Surluna! Then, are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness permanent or impermanent?' He replied: 'They are impermanent.' He asked again: 'If they are impermanent, are they suffering?' He replied: 'They are suffering.'


。」

又問:「若無常、苦者,是變易法,聖弟子寧于中見識是我、異我、相在不?」

答曰:「不也。」

「輸屢那!當知色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細、若好、若丑,若遠、若近,於一切色不是我、不異我、不相在,是名如實知。輸屢那!聖弟子於色生厭、離欲、解脫,解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱。

「如是受、想、行、識,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切識不是我、不異我、不相在,是名如實知。輸屢那!聖弟子于識生厭、離欲、解脫,解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱。」

時,輸屢那聞舍利弗所說,歡喜踴躍,作禮已,去。

(三二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,尊者舍利弗在耆阇崛山。

時,有長者子名輸屢那,日日遊行,到耆阇崛山,詣舍利弗所,頭面禮足,卻坐一面。

時,舍利弗告輸屢那:「若沙門、婆羅門於色不如實知,色集不如實知,色滅不如實知,色味不如實知,色患不如實知,色離不如實知故,不堪能超越色

現代漢語譯本 又問:『如果無常、是苦的,是變易之法,聖弟子難道會認為其中有識是我、異我、或相在嗎?』 回答說:『不會。』 『輸屢那!應當知道色,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是好、丑,無論是遠、近,對於一切色,都不是我、不異於我、不相依,這叫做如實知。輸屢那!聖弟子對於色生起厭惡、離欲、解脫,從而解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱。 『同樣,受、想、行、識,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是好、丑,無論是遠、近,對於一切識,都不是我、不異於我、不相依,這叫做如實知。輸屢那!聖弟子對於識生起厭惡、離欲、解脫,從而解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱。』 當時,輸屢那聽了舍利弗所說,歡喜踴躍,行禮后,離去。 (三二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。當時,尊者舍利弗在耆阇崛山。 當時,有一位長者子名叫輸屢那,每天都前往耆阇崛山,到舍利弗那裡,頭面禮足,然後坐在一旁。 當時,舍利弗告訴輸屢那:『如果沙門、婆羅門對於色不如實知,對於色的生起不如實知,對於色的滅去不如實知,對於色的滋味不如實知,對於色的過患不如實知,對於色的離去不如實知,因此就不能超越色。』

English version Again he asked: 『If it is impermanent and suffering, a changing phenomenon, would a noble disciple consider that consciousness within it is 『I』, 『different from I』, or 『existing in relation to I』?』 He replied: 『No, indeed.』 『Shuluna! You should know that form, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether far or near, all forms are not 『I』, not different from 『I』, and not dependent on 『I』. This is called knowing things as they truly are. Shuluna! A noble disciple develops aversion, detachment, and liberation from form, and is thus liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, suffering, and distress. 『Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether far or near, all consciousness is not 『I』, not different from 『I』, and not dependent on 『I』.

He paid his respects and departed. (32) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, the venerable Shariputra was on Gijjhakuta Mountain. Then, there was a householder』s son named Shuluna, who would go daily to Gijjhakuta Mountain, approach Shariputra, pay homage with his head at his feet, and sit down to one side. Then, Shariputra said to Shuluna: 『If a samana or brahmin does not truly know form, does not truly know the arising of form, does not truly know the cessation of form, does not truly know the gratification of form, does not truly know the danger of form, and does not truly know the escape from form, then they are incapable of transcending form.』


。若沙門、婆羅門于受、想、行、識不如實知,識集不如實知,識滅不如實知,識味不如實知,識患不如實知,識離不如實知故,此沙門、婆羅門不堪能超越識。

「若沙門、婆羅門於色、色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離如實知,此沙門、婆羅門堪能超越色。若沙門、婆羅門于受、想、行、識、識集、識滅、識味、識患、識離如實知,此沙門、婆羅門堪能超越識。

「輸屢那!于汝意云何?色為常、為無常耶?」

答言:「無常。」

English version: If a recluse or Brahmin does not truly understand feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness; does not truly understand the arising of consciousness; does not truly understand the cessation of consciousness; does not truly understand the gratification of consciousness; does not truly understand the danger of consciousness; and does not truly understand the escape from consciousness, then that recluse or Brahmin is incapable of transcending consciousness.

(三三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「色非是我。若色是我者,不應於色病、苦生,亦不應於色欲令如是、不令如是。以色無我故,於色有病、有苦生,亦得於色慾令如是、不令如是。受、想、行、識亦復如是。比丘!于意云何?色為是常、為無常耶?」

比丘白佛:「無常。世尊!」

「比丘!若無常者,是苦不?」

比丘白佛:「是苦

現代漢語譯本 『輸屢那!感受、思想、行為、意識,無論是過去的、未來的、現在的,無論是內在的、外在的,無論是粗糙的、細微的,無論是好的、醜的,無論是遠的、近的,對於一切意識,都不是我,不與我相異,不依存於我,這叫做如實知。』 『輸屢那!聖弟子對於這五種感受的聚集,正確地觀察到它們不是我,也不是我所擁有的。像這樣正確地觀察,對於世間的一切就不會執著;沒有執著,就不會有所依戀;沒有依戀,自然就能達到涅槃:『我的生命已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不會再有來生。』 當時,長者子輸屢那聽了舍利弗所說,歡喜踴躍,行禮后離開了。 《雜阿含經》卷第一 大正藏第02冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第二 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (三三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『色不是我。如果色是我,就不應該在色上產生疾病和痛苦,也不應該在色上要求它這樣或不這樣。因為色不是我,所以在色上會有疾病和痛苦產生,也可以在色上要求它這樣或不這樣。感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此。比丘們!你們認為如何?色是常住的還是無常的呢?』 比丘們回答佛說:『是無常的,世尊!』 『比丘們!如果無常,那是苦嗎?』 比丘們回答佛說:『是苦的,世尊!』

English version 'Shuluna! Feeling, thought, action, consciousness, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or subtle, whether good or bad, whether far or near, regarding all consciousness, it is not me, not different from me, not existing in me, this is called knowing the truth as it is.' 'Shuluna! A noble disciple, regarding these five aggregates of feeling, correctly observes that they are not me, nor are they mine. Observing correctly in this way, one will not be attached to anything in the world; without attachment, there will be no clinging; without clinging, one will naturally attain Nirvana: 『My life is finished, the pure practice is established, what needed to be done is done, I know myself that there will be no future existence.』' At that time, the son of the elder, Shuluna, hearing what Shariputra said, was filled with joy and excitement, bowed, and departed. Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 1 Taisho Tripitaka, Volume 02, No. 0099, Samyukta Agama Sutra Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 2 Translated by Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India (33) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'Form is not me. If form were me, there should not be sickness and suffering arising in form, nor should one be able to command it to be this way or not this way. Because form is not me, there is sickness and suffering arising in form, and one can also command it to be this way or not this way. Feeling, thought, action, and consciousness are also like this. Monks! What do you think? Is form permanent or impermanent?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'It is impermanent, World Honored One!' 'Monks! If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'It is suffering, World Honored One!'


。世尊!」

「若無常、苦,是變易法,多聞聖弟子于中寧見有我、異我、相在不?」

比丘白佛:「不也,世尊!」

「受、想、行、識亦復如是。是故,比丘!諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在,如是觀察;受、想、行、識亦復如是。

「比丘!多聞聖弟子於此五受陰非我、非我所,如實觀察。如實觀察已,于諸世間都無所取,無所取故無所著,無所著故自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。

爾時,世尊告餘五比丘:「色非有我。若色有我者,於色不應病、苦生,亦不得於色慾令如是、不令如是。以色無我故,於色有病、有苦生,亦得於色慾令如是、不令如是;受、想、行、識亦復如是。比丘!于意云何?色為是常、為無常耶?」

現代漢語譯本:『世尊!』 『如果無常、是苦,是變易之法,多聞的聖弟子在其中難道會認為有我、異於我、或與我相關嗎?』 比丘回答佛:『不會的,世尊!』 『感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此。因此,比丘們!所有一切色,無論是過去、未來、現在,內在、外在,粗糙、細微,美好、醜陋,遙遠、臨近,它們都不是我,不異於我,不與我相關,應當這樣觀察;感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此。』 『比丘們!多聞的聖弟子對於這五種受陰,觀察到它們不是我,也不是我所擁有的。如實觀察之後,對於世間的一切都無所執取,因為無所執取所以無所依戀,因為無所依戀所以自覺涅槃:『我的生命已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來生。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (三四) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛住在波羅奈國的仙人住處鹿野苑中。 當時,世尊告訴其餘五位比丘:『色不是有我的。如果色是有我的,那麼色就不應該有病痛和苦惱產生,也不能夠在色上命令它這樣或不這樣。因為色無我,所以在色上有病痛和苦惱產生,也能夠在色上命令它這樣或不這樣;感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此。比丘們!你們認為如何?色是常還是無常呢?』 比丘回答佛:『是無常的,世尊!』 『比丘們!如果無常,是苦嗎?』 比丘回答佛:『是苦的,世尊!』

English version: 『Venerable Sir!』 『If what is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, would a well-instructed noble disciple consider it to be 『I,』 『mine,』 or 『related to me』?』 The monks replied to the Buddha, 『No, Venerable Sir!』 『So it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Therefore, monks! All forms, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, beautiful or ugly, far or near, all of them are not 『I,』 not 『mine,』 not 『related to me,』 thus should you observe; so it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.』 『Monks! A well-instructed noble disciple, regarding these five aggregates of clinging, observes that they are not 『I』 and not 『mine.』 Having observed thus, he does not cling to anything in the world. Because he does not cling, he is not attached. Because he is not attached, he realizes Nirvana: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being.』 Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in the Buddha』s words and practiced accordingly. (34) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at Isipatana near Varanasi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the five monks: 『Form is not 『I.』 If form were 『I,』 then form would not be subject to sickness and suffering, nor could one command it to be thus or not thus. Because form is not 『I,』 therefore form is subject to sickness and suffering, and one can command it to be thus or not thus; so it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Monks! What do you think? Is form permanent or impermanent?』 The monks replied to the Buddha, 『Impermanent, Venerable Sir!』 『Monks! If it is impermanent, is it suffering?』 The monks replied to the Buddha, 『It is suffering, Venerable Sir!』


。世尊!」

「比丘!若無常、苦,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于中見是我、異我、相在不?」

比丘白佛:「不也,世尊!」

「受、想、行、識亦復如是。是故,比丘!諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、非我所,如實觀察。受、想、行、識亦復如是。

「比丘!多聞聖弟子於此五受陰見非我、非我所。如是觀察,于諸世間都無所取,無所取故無所著,無所著故自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,餘五比丘不起諸漏,心得解脫。

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住支提竹園精舍。

爾時,有三正士出家未久,所謂尊者阿㝹律陀、尊者難提、尊者金毗羅。

爾時,世尊知彼心中所念,而為教誡:「比丘!此心、此意、此識,當思惟此,莫思惟此,斷此欲、斷此色,身作證具足住。比丘!寧有色,若常、不變易、正住不?」

比丘白佛:「不也,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!色是無常、變易之法,厭、離欲、滅、寂、沒

「世尊!」 「比丘!如果無常、苦,是變易的法則,那麼博學的聖弟子難道會認為其中有『我』、『異我』、或者『與我相關』嗎?」 比丘回答佛說:「不會的,世尊!」 「感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此。因此,比丘!所有色法,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細膩,無論是好還是醜,無論是遠還是近,它們都不是『我』,也不是『我所擁有』,應當如實地觀察。感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此。」 「比丘!博學的聖弟子對於這五種受陰,會觀察到它們不是『我』,也不是『我所擁有』。這樣觀察后,對於世間的一切都不會執取,因為不執取所以不會有貪戀,因為沒有貪戀所以會自覺涅槃:『我的生命已經結束,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做了,自己知道不會再有來生。』 」 佛說完這部經后,其餘五位比丘不再有煩惱,心得到解脫。 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (三五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在支提竹園精舍。 當時,有三位剛出家的正士,分別是尊者阿㝹律陀、尊者難提、尊者金毗羅。 當時,世尊知道他們心中所想,就教誡他們說:「比丘!對於這個心、這個意、這個識,應當思考這個,不要思考那個,斷除這個慾望,斷除這個色,以身體作證而安住。比丘!難道有色法是恒常不變、永恒存在的嗎?」 比丘回答佛說:「不會的,世尊!」 佛告訴比丘:「說得好!說得好!色是無常、變易的法則,應當厭惡、舍離慾望、滅盡、寂靜、消失。」

『Venerable Sir!』 『Monks! If what is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, would a well-taught noble disciple regard it as 『I,』 『mine,』 or 『related to me』?』 The monks replied to the Buddha, 『No, Venerable Sir!』 『So it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Therefore, monks! All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of them are not 『I』 and not 『mine,』 observe them as they truly are. So it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.』 『Monks! A well-taught noble disciple, seeing these five aggregates of clinging as not 『I』 and not 『mine,』 by observing in this way, does not cling to anything in the world. Because of not clinging, there is no attachment. Because of no attachment, one realizes Nirvana: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to be.』 After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the remaining five monks were freed from defilements, and their minds were liberated. After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (35) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove Monastery in Chiti. At that time, there were three newly ordained noble men, namely the Venerable Anuruddha, the Venerable Nanda, and the Venerable Kimbila. At that time, the Blessed One, knowing what they were thinking, instructed them: 『Monks! Regarding this mind, this intention, this consciousness, you should contemplate this, not that; abandon this desire, abandon this form, and abide having realized it with your body. Monks! Is there any form that is permanent, unchanging, and enduring?』 The monks replied to the Buddha, 『No, Venerable Sir!』 The Buddha told the monks, 『Well said! Well said! Form is impermanent and subject to change; it should be loathed, abandoned, extinguished, pacified, and ceased.』


。如是色從本以來,一切無常、苦、變易法。如是知已,緣彼色生諸漏害、熾然、憂惱皆悉斷滅,斷滅已,無所著,無所著已,安樂住;安樂住已,得般涅槃。受、想、行、識亦復如是。」

佛說此經時,三正士不起諸漏,心得解脫。

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住摩偷羅國跋提河側傘蓋菴羅樹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「住于自洲,住于自依;住於法洲,住於法依;不異洲不異依。比丘!當正觀察,住自洲自依,法洲法依,不異洲不異依。何因生憂悲惱苦?云何有?因何故?何繫著?云何自觀察未生憂悲惱苦而生,已生憂悲惱苦生長增廣?」

諸比丘白佛:「世尊法根、法眼、法依,唯愿為說!諸比丘聞已,當如說奉行。」

佛告比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。比丘!有色、因色、繫著色,自觀察未生憂悲惱苦而生,已生而復增長廣大;受、想、行、識亦復如是。比丘!頗有色常、恒、不變易、正住耶?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!比丘!色是無常

現代漢語譯本:『如果這樣觀察色,就會明白色從根本上來說,一切都是無常、苦、變易的法則。像這樣瞭解之後,因色而產生的各種煩惱、傷害、熾熱、憂愁和苦惱都會全部斷滅。斷滅之後,就不會再執著;不執著之後,就能安樂地住;安樂地住之後,就能證得涅槃。受、想、行、識也是如此。』 佛陀宣說這部經時,三位正士不再生起各種煩惱,心得到解脫。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (三六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在摩偷羅國跋提河邊的傘蓋菴羅樹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『要安住于自己的洲,安住于自己的依靠;安住於法的洲,安住於法的依靠;不要依靠其他的洲,不要依靠其他的依靠。比丘們!應當正確地觀察,安住于自己的洲,自己的依靠,法的洲,法的依靠,不要依靠其他的洲,其他的依靠。什麼原因會產生憂愁、悲傷、苦惱?它們是如何產生的?因什麼而產生?又因什麼而執著?如何觀察未產生的憂愁、悲傷、苦惱產生,已產生的憂愁、悲傷、苦惱增長擴大?』 眾比丘對佛說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠,希望您能為我們解說!眾比丘聽了之後,一定會按照您所說的去奉行。』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。比丘們!有色,因色,執著於色,要觀察未產生的憂愁、悲傷、苦惱因此而產生,已產生的因此而增長擴大;受、想、行、識也是如此。比丘們!有沒有色是常、恒、不變易、永住的呢?』 回答說:『沒有,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『很好!很好!比丘們!色是無常的』

English version: 'If one perceives form in this way, one understands that form, from its very nature, is subject to all that is impermanent, suffering, and change. Having understood this, all defilements, harms, burning passions, sorrows, and distresses that arise from form are completely extinguished. Having extinguished them, one is no longer attached; having no attachment, one dwells in peace; dwelling in peace, one attains Nirvana. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' When the Buddha spoke this discourse, three righteous individuals were freed from all defilements, and their minds were liberated. After the Buddha had finished this discourse, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (36) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Umbrella Mango Grove near the Bhadra River in the country of Mathura. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'Dwell in your own island, dwell in your own refuge; dwell in the island of the Dharma, dwell in the refuge of the Dharma; do not rely on a different island or a different refuge. Monks! You should observe correctly, dwelling in your own island, your own refuge, the island of the Dharma, the refuge of the Dharma, not relying on a different island or a different refuge. What causes sorrow, grief, and distress to arise? How do they come about? What is their cause? What are they attached to? How do you observe that sorrow, grief, and distress that have not yet arisen, arise, and that those that have already arisen, grow and expand?' The monks said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the refuge of the Dharma. We beseech you to explain it to us! Having heard it, the monks will practice as you have said.' The Buddha told the monks: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. Monks! There is form, because of form, attachment to form, observe that sorrow, grief, and distress that have not yet arisen, arise because of this, and that those that have already arisen, grow and expand because of this; the same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Monks! Is there any form that is permanent, constant, unchanging, and abiding?' They replied: 'No, World-Honored One!' The Buddha told the monks: 'Excellent! Excellent! Monks! Form is impermanent.'


。若善男子知色是無常、苦、變易,離欲、滅、寂靜、沒,從本以來,一切色無常、苦、變易法知已,若色因緣生憂悲惱苦斷,彼斷已無所著,不著故安隱樂住,安隱樂住已,名為涅槃。受、想、行、識亦復如是。」

佛說此經時,十六比丘不生諸漏,心得解脫。

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

竹園、毗舍離  清凈、正觀察  無常、苦、非我  五、三、與十六

(三七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我不與世間諍,世間與我諍。所以者何?比丘!若如法語者,不與世間諍,世間智者言有,我亦言有。云何為世間智者言有,我亦言有。比丘!色無常、苦、變易法,世間智者言有,我亦言有。如是受、想、行、識,無常、苦、變易法,世間智者言有,我亦言有。世間智者言無,我亦言無;謂色是常、恒、不變易、正住者,世間智者言無,我亦言無。受、想、行、識,常、恒、不變易、正住者,世間智者言無,我亦言無,是名世間智者言無,我亦言無。比丘!有世間世間法,我亦自知自覺,為人分別演說顯示,世間盲無目者不知不見,非我咎也

現代漢語譯本:如果善男子知道色是無常、是苦、是變易的,從而離欲、滅盡、寂靜、消失,從根本上就認識到一切色都是無常、苦、變易的法則,如果因為色而產生的憂愁、悲傷、痛苦都斷絕了,那麼他就不會再執著,因為不執著所以能安穩快樂地住著,安穩快樂地住著就叫做涅槃。受、想、行、識也是如此。 佛陀宣說這部經的時候,有十六位比丘不再產生各種煩惱,心得到解脫。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 竹園、毗舍離,清凈、正觀察,無常、苦、非我,五、三、與十六。 (三七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我不與世間爭論,是世間與我爭論。為什麼呢?比丘們!如果符合真理的說法,就不會與世間爭論,世間的智者說有,我也說有。什麼叫做世間的智者說有,我也說有呢?比丘們!色是無常、苦、變易的法則,世間的智者說有,我也說有。同樣,受、想、行、識,是無常、苦、變易的法則,世間的智者說有,我也說有。世間的智者說沒有,我也說沒有;如果說色是常、恒、不變易、安住的,世間的智者說沒有,我也說沒有。受、想、行、識,是常、恒、不變易、安住的,世間的智者說沒有,我也說沒有,這就叫做世間的智者說沒有,我也說沒有。比丘們!世間有世間的法則,我親自知道、親自覺悟,併爲人們分別解說、顯示,世間那些盲目無知的人不知道、看不見,這不是我的過錯。』

English version: If a virtuous man knows that form is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, thus detaching from desire, extinguishing, becoming tranquil, and ceasing, and from the very beginning understands that all forms are governed by the laws of impermanence, suffering, and change, if the sorrow, grief, and pain arising from form are cut off, then he will no longer be attached. Because of non-attachment, he can dwell in peace and joy, and dwelling in peace and joy is called Nirvana. Sensation, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also the same. When the Buddha was expounding this sutra, sixteen monks ceased to generate defilements, and their minds were liberated. After the Buddha finished expounding this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. Bamboo Grove, Vaishali, purity, correct observation, impermanence, suffering, non-self, five, three, and sixteen. (Thirty-seven) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'I do not contend with the world; it is the world that contends with me. Why is that? Monks! If one speaks according to the Dharma, one does not contend with the world. What the wise of the world say exists, I also say exists. What is it that the wise of the world say exists, and I also say exists? Monks! Form is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change; the wise of the world say it exists, and I also say it exists. Likewise, sensation, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, suffering, and subject to change; the wise of the world say they exist, and I also say they exist. What the wise of the world say does not exist, I also say does not exist. If it is said that form is permanent, constant, unchanging, and abiding, the wise of the world say it does not exist, and I also say it does not exist. Sensation, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are permanent, constant, unchanging, and abiding; the wise of the world say they do not exist, and I also say they do not exist. This is what is meant by the wise of the world saying it does not exist, and I also saying it does not exist. Monks! There are worldly laws that I have personally known and realized, and I explain and reveal them to people. Those who are blind and ignorant in the world do not know or see them, and this is not my fault.'


「諸比丘!云何為世間世間法,我自知,我自覺,為人演說,分別顯示,盲無目者不知不見?是比丘!色無常、苦、變易法,是名世間世間法;如是受、想、行、識,無常、苦,是世間世間法。比丘!此是世間世間法,我自知自覺,為人分別演說顯示,盲無目者不知不見。我于彼盲無目不知不見者,其如之何!」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「世人為卑下業,種種求財活命,而得巨富,世人皆知。如世人之所知,我亦如是說。所以者何?莫令我異於世人。

「諸比丘!譬如一器,有一處人,名為揵茨,有名缽,有名匕匕羅,有名遮留,有名毗悉多,有名婆阇那,有名薩牢。如彼所知,我亦如是說。所以者何?莫令我異於世人故。如是,比丘!有世間法,我自知自覺,為人分別演說顯示,知見而說,世間盲無目者不知不見;世間盲無目者不知不見,我其如之何!

「比丘!云何世間世間法,我自知自覺,乃至不知不見?色無常、苦、變易法,是為世間世間法;受、想、行、識,無常、苦、變易法,是世間世間法

現代漢語譯本 『諸位比丘!什麼是世間的世間法,我親自知曉,親自覺悟,為他人演說,分別闡明,而那些盲目無知的人卻不瞭解不明白呢?諸位比丘!色是無常的、是苦的、是會變化的,這被稱為世間的世間法;同樣,受、想、行、識也是無常的、是苦的,這就是世間的世間法。比丘們!這就是世間的世間法,我親自知曉,親自覺悟,為他人分別演說闡明,而那些盲目無知的人卻不瞭解不明白。對於那些盲目無知、不瞭解不明白的人,我又能如何呢!』 佛陀說完此經,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

(三八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『世人從事卑賤的行業,通過各種方式求財謀生,卻能獲得巨額財富,世人都知道。正如世人所知,我也是這樣說的。為什麼呢?爲了不使我與世人不同。』 『諸位比丘!譬如一個器皿,在某個地方的人,稱它為『揵茨』,有的稱它為『缽』,有的稱它為『匕匕羅』,有的稱它為『遮留』,有的稱它為『毗悉多』,有的稱它為『婆阇那』,有的稱它為『薩牢』。正如他們所知,我也是這樣說的。為什麼呢?爲了不使我與世人不同。同樣,比丘們!存在著世間法,我親自知曉,親自覺悟,為他人分別演說闡明,知曉並說出,而世間那些盲目無知的人卻不瞭解不明白;世間那些盲目無知的人不瞭解不明白,我又能如何呢!』 『比丘們!什麼是世間的世間法,我親自知曉,親自覺悟,乃至那些人卻不瞭解不明白呢?色是無常的、是苦的、是會變化的,這就是世間的世間法;受、想、行、識,是無常的、是苦的、是會變化的,這就是世間的世間法。』

English version 'Monks! What are the worldly worldly things that I have known for myself, realized for myself, explained to others, and clearly shown, but which the blind and unseeing do not know or see? Monks! Form is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change; this is called a worldly worldly thing. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent and suffering; these are worldly worldly things. Monks! These are the worldly worldly things that I have known for myself, realized for myself, explained to others, and clearly shown, but which the blind and unseeing do not know or see. What can I do about those who are blind, unseeing, and do not know or see?' After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

(38) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'People engage in lowly occupations, seeking wealth in various ways to make a living, and they acquire great riches, as everyone knows. Just as the world knows, so do I speak. Why is that? So that I may not be different from the world.' 'Monks! For example, a vessel, in one place people call it 'kanc', in another 'bowl', in another 'bhibhila', in another 'chaluka', in another 'visita', in another 'bhojana', in another 'sarala'. Just as they know, so do I speak. Why is that? So that I may not be different from the world. Likewise, monks! There are worldly things that I have known for myself, realized for myself, explained to others, and clearly shown, knowing and speaking, but which the blind and unseeing of the world do not know or see; what can I do about those who are blind and unseeing and do not know or see?' 'Monks! What are the worldly worldly things that I have known for myself, realized for myself, and which the others do not know or see?

(三九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有五種種子。何等為五?謂根種子、莖種子、節種子、自落種子、實種子。此五種子不斷、不壞、不腐、不中風,新熟堅實,有地界而無水界,彼種子不生長增廣。若彼種新熟堅實,不斷、不壞、不中風,有水界而無地界,彼種子亦不生長增廣。若彼種子新熟堅實,不斷、不壞、不腐、不中風,有地、水界,彼種子生長增廣。

「比丘!彼五種子者,譬取陰俱識;地界者,譬四識住;水界者,譬貪喜四取攀緣識住。何等為四?於色中識住,攀緣色,喜貪潤澤,生長增廣;于受、想、行中識住,攀緣受、想、行,貪喜潤澤,生長增廣。比丘!識于中若來、若去、若住、若沒、若生長增廣。

「比丘!若離色、受、想、行,識有若來、若去、若住、若生者,彼但有言數,問已不知,增益生癡,以非境界故。色界離貪,離貪已,於色封滯意生縛斷;於色封滯意生縛斷已,攀緣斷;攀緣斷已,識無住處,不復生長增廣

現代漢語譯本:比丘們!這就是所謂的世間法,我親自知曉並親眼所見,而那些盲人是無法知曉和看見的,這又有什麼辦法呢!' 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (三九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五種種子。哪五種呢?就是根種子、莖種子、節種子、自落種子和實種子。這五種種子如果不斷裂、不損壞、不腐爛、不被風吹散,而且是新成熟的堅實種子,有地界而沒有水界,那麼這些種子就不會生長和擴大。如果這些種子是新成熟的堅實種子,不斷裂、不損壞、不被風吹散,有水界而沒有地界,那麼這些種子也不會生長和擴大。如果這些種子是新成熟的堅實種子,不斷裂、不損壞、不腐爛、不被風吹散,既有地界又有水界,那麼這些種子就會生長和擴大。』 『比丘們!這五種種子,譬如是與陰俱生的識;地界,譬如是四種識的住處;水界,譬如是貪愛喜悅的四種執取攀緣的識的住處。哪四種呢?在色中識住,攀緣色,以喜貪滋潤,生長擴大;在受、想、行中識住,攀緣受、想、行,以貪喜滋潤,生長擴大。比丘們!識在其中,如果來、去、住、沒、生長擴大。』 『比丘們!如果離開色、受、想、行,識還能來、去、住、生,那只是言語上的說法,問了也不知道,只會增加愚癡,因為它不是真實的境界。**離開貪慾,離開貪慾后,對於色產生的執著和束縛就會斷除;對於色產生的執著和束縛斷除后,攀緣就會斷除;攀緣斷除后,識就沒有了住處,不再生長擴大。』

English version: 'Monks! This is what is called the worldly dharma, which I have known and seen for myself, while the blind cannot know or see it, what can be done about that!' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (39) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'There are five kinds of seeds. What are the five? They are root seeds, stem seeds, node seeds, self-falling seeds, and fruit seeds. If these five kinds of seeds are not broken, not damaged, not rotten, not scattered by the wind, and are newly ripe and solid, having an earth element but no water element, then these seeds will not grow and expand. If these seeds are newly ripe and solid, not broken, not damaged, not scattered by the wind, having a water element but no earth element, then these seeds will also not grow and expand. If these seeds are newly ripe and solid, not broken, not damaged, not rotten, not scattered by the wind, having both earth and water elements, then these seeds will grow and expand.' 'Monks! These five kinds of seeds are like consciousness associated with the aggregates; the earth element is like the four abodes of consciousness; the water element is like the four attachments of consciousness that are clung to with craving and joy. What are the four? Consciousness abides in form, clinging to form, nourished by craving and joy, growing and expanding; consciousness abides in feeling, perception, and mental formations, clinging to feeling, perception, and mental formations, nourished by craving and joy, growing and expanding. Monks! Consciousness, in these, comes, goes, abides, ceases, grows, and expands.' 'Monks! If, apart from form, feeling, perception, and mental formations, consciousness could come, go, abide, or arise, that would only be a matter of words, and upon questioning, one would not know, only increasing ignorance, because it is not a real realm. **By abandoning craving, having abandoned craving, the attachment and bondage arising from form will be severed; having severed the attachment and bondage arising from form, clinging will be severed; having severed clinging, consciousness will have no place to abide, and will no longer grow and expand.'


。受、想、行界離貪,離貪已,於行封滯意生觸斷;於行封滯意生觸斷已,攀緣斷,攀緣斷已,彼識無所住,不復生長增廣。不生長故,不作行;不作行已住,住已知足,知足已解脫;解脫已,于諸世間都無所取、無所著;無所取、無所著已,自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』我說彼識不至東、西、南、北、四維、上、下,無所至趣,唯見法,欲入涅槃、寂滅、清涼、清凈、真實。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「封滯者不解脫,不封滯則解脫。云何封滯不解脫?比丘!攀緣四取陰識住。云何為四?色封滯識住,受、想、行封滯識住,乃至非境界故,是名封滯,故不解脫。云何不封滯則解脫?於色界離貪,受、想、行、識離貪,乃至清凈真實,是則不封滯則解脫。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有五受陰——色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。我於此五受陰,五種如實知——色如實知,色集、色味、色患、色離如實知

現代漢語譯本:

『受』、『想』、『行』這些與貪慾分離,當與貪慾分離后,對於『行』的執著所產生的意念接觸就會斷絕;當對於『行』的執著所產生的意念接觸斷絕後,攀緣就會斷絕,攀緣斷絕後,那個『識』就無所依住,不再生長和擴充套件。因為不生長,所以不造作『行』;不造作『行』后就安住,安住后就知足,知足后就解脫;解脫后,對於世間的一切都無所求取、無所執著;無所求取、無所執著后,就自覺證得涅槃:『我的生命已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來世。』我說那個『識』不會到達東、西、南、北、四維、上、下任何方向,無所去處,只是見到法,想要進入涅槃、寂滅、清涼、清凈、真實的境界。

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(四〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『執著的人不能解脫,不執著的人才能解脫。』什麼是執著不能解脫呢?比丘們!就是攀緣四種取陰的『識』而住。哪四種呢?色執著『識』而住,受、想、行執著『識』而住,乃至因為不是境界的緣故,這叫做執著,所以不能解脫。什麼是不執著就能解脫呢?對於色離貪,對於受、想、行、識離貪,乃至達到清凈真實的境界,這就是不執著就能解脫。

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(四一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五種受陰——色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。我對於這五種受陰,有五種如實的瞭解——色如實地瞭解,色的集起、色的滋味、色的過患、色的離去如實地瞭解。

English version:

When 『feeling』, 『perception』, and 『volition』 are detached from craving, and having detached from craving, the mental contact arising from clinging to 『volition』 ceases; when the mental contact arising from clinging to 『volition』 ceases, clinging ceases, and when clinging ceases, that 『consciousness』 has no place to dwell, and no longer grows or expands. Because it does not grow, it does not perform 『volition』; having not performed 『volition』, it abides, and having abided, it is content, and having been content, it is liberated; having been liberated, it has no attachment or grasping in all the worlds; having no attachment or grasping, it realizes Nirvana for itself: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, I know for myself that there is no more future existence.』 I say that 『consciousness』 does not go to the east, west, south, north, the intermediate directions, above, or below, it has nowhere to go, it only sees the Dharma, desiring to enter Nirvana, peace, coolness, purity, and truth.

After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

(40)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 『Those who cling are not liberated, those who do not cling are liberated.』 How is it that clinging does not lead to liberation? Monks! It is when consciousness dwells clinging to the four aggregates of grasping. What are the four? Consciousness dwells clinging to form, feeling, perception, and volition, and even because it is not a realm, this is called clinging, therefore there is no liberation. How is it that not clinging leads to liberation? When there is detachment from craving for form, detachment from craving for feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness, and even reaching the state of pure truth, this is not clinging, and thus there is liberation.

After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

(41)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 『There are five aggregates of grasping—the aggregate of grasping of form, the aggregates of grasping of feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness. I have five kinds of true knowledge regarding these five aggregates of grasping—true knowledge of form, true knowledge of the arising of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form.

。若沙門、婆羅門於色如實知、如實見,於色生厭、離欲,不起諸漏,心得解脫;若心得解脫者,則為純一;純一者,則梵行立;梵行立者,離他自在,是名苦邊。受、想、行、識亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有七處善、三種觀義。盡於此法得漏盡,得無漏,心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知身作證具足住:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』云何比丘七處善?比丘!如實知色、色集、色滅、色滅道跡、色味、色患、色離如實知;如是受、想、行、識,識集、識滅、識滅道跡、識味、識患、識離如實知。

「云何色如實知?諸所有色、一切四大及四大造色,是名為色,如是色如實知。云何色集如實知?愛喜是名色集,如是色集如實知。云何色滅如實知?愛喜滅是名色滅,如是色滅如實知。云何色滅道跡如實知?謂八聖道——正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,是名色滅道跡,如是色滅道跡如實知。云何色味如實知?謂色因緣生喜樂,是名色味,如是色味如實知

現代漢語譯本:如果沙門或婆羅門能夠如實地知曉和觀察色(物質現象),從而對色產生厭惡和離欲,就不會產生各種煩惱,內心得到解脫;如果內心得到解脫,那就是純粹的;純粹的,那麼梵行就確立了;梵行確立了,就能脫離他人的束縛,這就是苦的終結。感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (四二) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有七處善和三種觀義。通過實踐這些法,可以斷盡煩惱,獲得無漏,心解脫和慧解脫,在今生就能親自體驗並證悟:『我已經斷盡了生死,梵行已經確立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』比丘們,什麼是七處善呢?比丘們!如實地知曉色的生起、色的集起、色的滅盡、色的滅盡之道、色的樂味、色的過患、色的出離;同樣,如實地知曉感受、思想、行為、意識的生起、集起、滅盡、滅盡之道、樂味、過患、出離。 『什麼是如實地知曉色呢?所有色,都是四大元素以及四大元素所造的色,這被稱為色,這就是如實地知曉色。什麼是如實地知曉色的集起呢?愛和喜是色的集起,這就是如實地知曉色的集起。什麼是如實地知曉色的滅盡呢?愛和喜的滅盡是色的滅盡,這就是如實地知曉色的滅盡。什麼是如實地知曉色的滅盡之道呢?就是八聖道——正見、正思惟、正語、正業、正命、正精進、正念、正定,這就是如實地知曉色的滅盡之道。什麼是如實地知曉色的樂味呢?色所帶來的喜悅和快樂,這就是色的樂味,這就是如實地知曉色的樂味。

English version: If a Shramana or Brahmin truly knows and sees form (material phenomena), and thereby develops aversion and detachment from form, they will not generate any defilements, and their mind will be liberated; if the mind is liberated, then it is pure; if it is pure, then the holy life is established; if the holy life is established, one is free from the control of others, and this is called the end of suffering. The same is true for feeling, thought, action, and consciousness. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (42) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks: 'There are seven good places and three ways of contemplation. By practicing these teachings, one can exhaust defilements, attain the undefiled, and achieve liberation of mind and wisdom, realizing in this very life and bearing witness: 'Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.' Monks, what are the seven good places? Monks! To truly know the arising of form, the origination of form, the cessation of form, the path leading to the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form; similarly, to truly know the arising, origination, cessation, path to cessation, gratification, danger, and escape of feeling, thought, action, and consciousness. 'What is truly knowing form? All forms are the four great elements and the forms derived from the four great elements, this is called form, and this is truly knowing form. What is truly knowing the origination of form? Craving and delight are the origination of form, this is truly knowing the origination of form. What is truly knowing the cessation of form? The cessation of craving and delight is the cessation of form, this is truly knowing the cessation of form. What is truly knowing the path leading to the cessation of form? It is the Noble Eightfold Path—right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration, this is truly knowing the path leading to the cessation of form. What is truly knowing the gratification of form? The joy and pleasure arising from form, this is the gratification of form, and this is truly knowing the gratification of form.'

現代漢語譯本: 『如何如實知曉色的過患?如果色是無常、苦、變易之法,這就被稱為色的過患,如此如實知曉色的過患。如何如實知曉色的離脫?指的是對於色調伏欲貪、斷除欲貪、超越欲貪,這被稱為色的離脫,如此如實知曉色的離脫。 『如何如實知曉受?指的是六種受——眼觸所生的受,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸所生的受,這被稱為受,如此如實知曉受。如何如實知曉受的集起?觸的集起就是受的集起,如此如實知曉受的集起。如何如實知曉受的滅盡?觸的滅盡就是受的滅盡,如此如實知曉受的滅盡。如何如實知曉受滅盡的道路?指的是八聖道——正見乃至正定,這被稱為受滅盡的道路,如此如實知曉受滅盡的道路。如何如實知曉受的滋味?受因緣所生的喜樂,這被稱為受的滋味,如此如實知曉受的滋味。如何如實知曉受的過患?如果受是無常、苦、變易之法,這被稱為受的過患,如此如實知曉受的過患。如何如實知曉受的離脫?指的是對於受調伏欲貪、斷除欲貪、超越欲貪,這被稱為受的離脫,如此如實知曉受的離脫。 『如何如實知曉想?指的是六種想——眼觸所生的想,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸所生的想,這被稱為想,如此如實知曉想。如何如實知曉想的集起?觸的集起就是想的集起,如此如實知曉想的集起。如何如實知曉想的滅盡?觸的滅盡就是想的滅盡,如此如實知曉想的滅盡。如何如實知曉想滅盡的道路?指的是八聖道——正見乃至正定,這被稱為想滅盡的道路,如此如實知曉想滅盡的道路。如何如實知曉想的滋味?想因緣所生的喜樂,這被稱為想的滋味,如此如實知曉想的滋味。如何如實知曉想的過患?如果想是無常、苦、變易之法,這被稱為想的過患,如此如實知曉想的過患。

This is called detachment from feeling, and thus one truly knows detachment from feeling.' 'How does one truly know perception? It refers to the six perceptions—perception born of eye contact, perception born of ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind contact. This is called perception, and thus one truly knows perception. How does one truly know the arising of perception? The arising of contact is the arising of perception, and thus one truly knows the arising of perception. How does one truly know the cessation of perception? The cessation of contact is the cessation of perception, and thus one truly knows the cessation of perception. How does one truly know the path to the cessation of perception? It refers to the Noble Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration. This is called the path to the cessation of perception, and thus one truly knows the path to the cessation of perception. How does one truly know the gratification of perception? The joy and pleasure born of the condition of perception is called the gratification of perception, and thus one truly knows the gratification of perception. How does one truly know the fault of perception? If perception is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, this is called the fault of perception, and thus one truly knows the fault of perception.'

「云何三種觀義?比丘!若於空閑、樹下、露地,觀察陰、界、入,正方便思惟其義,是名比丘三種觀義。是名比丘七處善、三種觀義。盡於此法得漏盡,得無漏,心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「取故生著,不取則不著。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。」

比丘白佛:「唯然,受教!」

佛告比丘:「云何取故生著?愚癡無聞凡夫於色見是我、異我、相在,見色是我、我所而取;取已,彼色若變、若異,心亦隨轉;心隨轉已,亦生取著攝受心住;攝受心住故,則生恐怖、障礙、心亂,以取著故。愚癡無聞凡夫于受、想、行、識,見我、異我、相在,見識是我、我所而取;取已,彼識若變、若異,彼心隨轉;心隨轉故,則生取著攝受心住;住已,則生恐怖、障礙、心亂,以取著故,是名取著

現代漢語譯本: 『什麼是三種觀察的意義呢?比丘們!如果在空閑處、樹下、露天的地方,觀察五蘊、十八界、十二入,以正確的方法思考它們的意義,這就叫做比丘的三種觀察的意義。這叫做比丘的七處善、三種觀察的意義。通過修習這些法,可以達到煩惱的止息,獲得無煩惱的境界,心解脫、智慧解脫,在今生親自證悟並安住於此:『我已經不再輪迴,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。

(四三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『因為執取而產生執著,不執取就不會執著。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。』

比丘們回答佛陀:『是的,我們願意接受教誨!』

佛陀告訴比丘們:『什麼是因執取而產生執著呢?愚癡無知的凡夫對於色,認為是我、異於我、在我的裡面,認為色是我、我所而執取;執取之後,如果色發生變化或不同,心也會隨之轉變;心隨之轉變后,也會產生執著、攝受心而安住;因為攝受心安住,就會產生恐懼、障礙、心亂,這是因為執取的緣故。愚癡無知的凡夫對於受、想、行、識,認為是我、異於我、在我的裡面,認為識是我、我所而執取;執取之後,如果識發生變化或不同,心也會隨之轉變;心隨之轉變后,也會產生執著、攝受心而安住;安住之後,就會產生恐懼、障礙、心亂,這是因為執取的緣故,這叫做執取。』

English version: 'What are the three kinds of contemplation? Monks! If in a secluded place, under a tree, or in an open space, one observes the aggregates, the elements, and the sense bases, and correctly contemplates their meaning, this is called a monk's three kinds of contemplation. This is called a monk's seven good places and three kinds of contemplation. By exhausting these teachings, one attains the end of defilements, attains the undefiled, liberation of mind, liberation through wisdom, and dwells having realized it for oneself in this very life: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, I know for myself that there is no more future existence.』' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly.

(43)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 『Attachment arises from grasping; without grasping, there is no attachment. Listen carefully, reflect well, and I will explain it to you.』

The monks replied to the Buddha: 『Yes, venerable sir, we will listen.』

The Buddha told the monks: 『How does attachment arise from grasping? An ignorant, uninstructed ordinary person, regarding form, sees it as 『I,』 『different from I,』 or 『in me,』 and grasps form as 『I』 or 『mine.』 Having grasped it, if that form changes or becomes different, the mind also changes accordingly. Having changed accordingly, attachment arises, the mind is taken up and dwells. Because the mind is taken up and dwells, fear, obstruction, and mental agitation arise, due to grasping. An ignorant, uninstructed ordinary person, regarding feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, sees them as 『I,』 『different from I,』 or 『in me,』 and grasps consciousness as 『I』 or 『mine.』 Having grasped it, if that consciousness changes or becomes different, the mind also changes accordingly. Having changed accordingly, attachment arises, the mind is taken up and dwells. Having dwelt, fear, obstruction, and mental agitation arise, due to grasping. This is called grasping.』


「云何名不取不著?多聞聖弟子於色不見我、異我、相在,於色不見我、我所而取;不見我、我所而取色,彼色若變、若異,心不隨轉;心不隨轉故,不生取著攝受心住;不攝受住故,則不生恐怖、障礙、心亂,不取著故。如是受、想、行、識,不見我、異我、相在,不見我、我所而取。彼識若變、若異,心不隨轉;心不隨轉故,不取著攝受心住;不攝受心住故,心不恐怖、障礙、心亂,以不取著故,是名不取著。是名取著、不取著。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若生則繫著,不生則不繫著。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。

「云何若生則繫著?愚癡無聞凡夫於色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離不如實知故,於色愛喜、讚歎、取著,於色是我、我所而取;取已,彼色若變、若異,心隨變異;心隨變異故,則攝受心住,攝受心住故,則生恐怖、障礙、顧念,以生繫著故。受、想、行、識亦復如是。是名生繫著。

「云何不生不繫著?多聞聖弟子色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離如實知

現代漢語譯本 『什麼叫做不執取不著?』多聞的聖弟子對於色,不見有我、異於我、相依存在,對於色不見有我、我所而執取;不見有我、我所而執取色,那色如果變化、如果不同,心不隨之轉變;心不隨之轉變,所以不生執取、攝受心住;不攝受心住,就不生恐怖、障礙、心亂,因為不執取。對於受、想、行、識也是這樣,不見有我、異於我、相依存在,不見有我、我所而執取。那識如果變化、如果不同,心不隨之轉變;心不隨之轉變,所以不執取、攝受心住;不攝受心住,心就不恐怖、障礙、心亂,因為不執取,這就叫做不執取。這就是執取和不執取。 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果生起就係縛,不生起就不繫縛。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。』 『什麼叫做生起就係縛?』愚癡無聞的凡夫對於色的生起、色的滅去、色的滋味、色的過患、色的離去不如實知,所以對於色愛喜、讚歎、執取,認為色是我、我所而執取;執取后,那色如果變化、如果不同,心就隨之變化;心隨之變化,就攝受心住,攝受心住,就生起恐怖、障礙、顧念,因為生起繫縛。受、想、行、識也是這樣。這就叫做生起繫縛。 『什麼叫做不生起不繫縛?』多聞的聖弟子對於色的生起、色的滅去、色的滋味、色的過患、色的離去如實知

English version 『What is called not grasping and not clinging?』 A well-learned noble disciple, regarding form, does not see self, different from self, or in relation to self; regarding form, does not see self or what belongs to self and grasp; does not see self or what belongs to self and grasp form. If that form changes or becomes different, the mind does not follow that change; because the mind does not follow that change, grasping and clinging do not arise and the mind does not dwell in them; because the mind does not dwell in them, then fear, obstruction, and mental disturbance do not arise, because of not grasping. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. They do not see self, different from self, or in relation to self; they do not see self or what belongs to self and grasp. If that consciousness changes or becomes different, the mind does not follow that change; because the mind does not follow that change, grasping and clinging do not arise and the mind does not dwell in them; because the mind does not dwell in them, the mind does not experience fear, obstruction, or mental disturbance, because of not grasping. This is called not grasping. This is called grasping and not grasping.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

(44) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 『If there is arising, there is attachment; if there is no arising, there is no attachment. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.』 『What is called arising and thus attachment?』 An ignorant, unlearned ordinary person, regarding the arising of form, the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form, does not know them as they truly are. Therefore, they love, delight in, praise, and grasp form, considering form to be self or what belongs to self; having grasped it, if that form changes or becomes different, the mind follows that change; because the mind follows that change, the mind dwells in grasping, and because the mind dwells in grasping, fear, obstruction, and concern arise, because of arising and thus attachment. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. This is called arising and thus attachment. 『What is called not arising and thus not attachment?』 A well-learned noble disciple, regarding the arising of form, the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form, knows them as they truly are.


。如實知故,不愛喜、讚歎、取著,不繫我、我所而取;以不取故,彼色若變、若異,心不隨變異;心不隨變異故,心不繫著攝受心住;不攝受心住故,心不恐怖、障礙、顧念,以不生不著故。受、想、行、識亦復如是。是名不生不繫著。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有五受陰。云何為五?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。若諸沙門、婆羅門見有我者,一切皆於此五受陰見我。諸沙門、婆羅門見色是我,色異我,我在色,色在我;見受、想、行、識是我,識異我,我在識,識在我。愚癡無聞凡夫以無明故,見色是我、異我、相在,言我真實不捨;以不捨故,諸根增長;諸根長已,增諸觸;六觸入處所觸故,愚癡無聞凡夫起苦樂覺,從觸入處起。何等為六?謂眼觸入處,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處。

「如是,比丘!有意界、法界、無明界,愚癡無聞凡夫無明觸故,起有覺、無覺、有無覺、我勝覺、我等覺、我卑覺、我知我見覺。如是知、如是見覺,皆由六觸入故。多聞聖弟子於此六觸入處,舍離無明而生明,不生有覺、無覺、有無覺、勝覺、等覺、卑覺、我知我見覺

現代漢語譯本:如實地知道實情,不產生喜愛、讚歎、執著,不以『我』或『我的』來執取;因為不執取,那色如果變化、如果不同,心也不會隨之變化;心不隨之變化,心就不會被繫縛、攝受而安住;不被攝受而安住,心就不會恐懼、障礙、顧慮,因為不生起執著。受、想、行、識也是如此。這叫做不生起不繫縛。 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四五) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五種受陰。哪五種呢?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。如果沙門、婆羅門認為有『我』,一切都是在這五種受陰中認為有『我』。沙門、婆羅門認為色是『我』,色與『我』不同,『我』在色中,色在『我』中;認為受、想、行、識是『我』,識與『我』不同,『我』在識中,識在『我』中。愚癡無知的凡夫因為無明,認為色是『我』、與『我』不同、與『我』相在,說『我』真實不捨棄;因為不捨棄,諸根增長;諸根增長后,增加各種觸;因為六觸入處所觸,愚癡無知的凡夫產生苦樂的感覺,從觸入處產生。哪六種呢?就是眼觸入處,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處。 『比丘們!就是這樣,有意界、法界、無明界,愚癡無知的凡夫因為無明觸,產生有覺、無覺、有無覺、我勝覺、我等覺、我卑覺、我知我見覺。像這樣知道、像這樣見到的感覺,都是因為六觸入的緣故。多聞的聖弟子在這六觸入處,舍離無明而生起智慧,不產生有覺、無覺、有無覺、勝覺、等覺、卑覺、我知我見覺。』

English version: Knowing the truth as it is, one does not generate fondness, praise, or attachment, and does not grasp with 'I' or 'mine'; because of not grasping, if that form changes or becomes different, the mind does not change with it; because the mind does not change with it, the mind is not bound, taken in, and settled; because it is not taken in and settled, the mind does not fear, obstruct, or worry, because it does not arise with attachment. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this. This is called not arising and not being bound. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (45) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There are five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? The aggregate of form, the aggregates of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. If any ascetics or Brahmins see a 'self', all of them see a 'self' in these five aggregates of clinging. The ascetics and Brahmins see form as 'self', form as different from 'self', 'self' in form, form in 'self'; they see feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness as 'self', consciousness as different from 'self', 'self' in consciousness, consciousness in 'self'. Ignorant and unlearned ordinary people, because of ignorance, see form as 'self', different from 'self', existing in relation to 'self', saying that 'self' is real and not to be abandoned; because of not abandoning, the sense faculties grow; after the sense faculties grow, they increase various contacts; because of the contact of the six sense bases, ignorant and unlearned ordinary people generate feelings of pleasure and pain, arising from the contact bases. What are the six? They are the eye contact base, the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind contact bases. 'Thus, monks! There are the mind realm, the dharma realm, and the ignorance realm. Because of the contact of ignorance, ignorant and unlearned ordinary people generate the feeling of existence, non-existence, existence and non-existence, the feeling of 'I am superior', 'I am equal', 'I am inferior', and 'I know and see myself'. Such knowing and seeing feelings all arise because of the six contact bases. The learned noble disciple, in these six contact bases, abandons ignorance and generates wisdom, and does not generate the feeling of existence, non-existence, existence and non-existence, superiority, equality, inferiority, or 'I know and see myself.'


如是知、如是見已,先所起無明觸滅,后明觸覺起。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有五受陰。云何為五?色、受、想、行、識受陰。若沙門、婆羅門以宿命智自識種種宿命,已識、當識、今識,皆於此五受陰;已識、當識、今識,我過去所經。如是色、如是受、如是想、如是行、如是識。若可閡可分,是名色受陰。指所閡,若手、若石、若杖、若刀、若冷、若暖、若渴、若饑、若蚊、虻、諸毒蟲、風、雨觸,是名觸閡,是故閡是色受陰。復以此色受陰無常、苦、變易。諸覺相是受受陰,何所覺?覺苦、覺樂、覺不苦不樂,是故名覺相是受受陰。復以此受受陰是無常、苦、變易。諸想是想受陰,何所想?少想、多想、無量想、都無所有作無所有想,是故名想受陰。復以此想受陰是無常、苦、變易法。為作相是行受陰,何所為作?於色為作,于受、想、行、識為作,是故為作相是行受陰。復以此行受陰是無常、苦、變易法。別知相是識受陰,何所識?識色,識聲、香、味、觸、法,是故名識受陰。復以此識受陰是無常、苦、變易法。

「諸比丘!彼多聞聖弟子於此色受陰作如是學:『我今為現在色所食,過去世已曾為彼色所食,如今現在。』復作是念:『我今為現在色所食,我若復樂著未來色者,當復為彼色所食,如今現在。』作如是知已,不顧過去色,不樂著未來色,于現在色生厭、離欲、滅患、向滅

現代漢語譯本:如此知曉、如此觀察之後,先前產生的無明之觸滅盡,之後明智的觸覺生起。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (四六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五種受陰。哪五種呢?色、受、想、行、識受陰。如果沙門、婆羅門以宿命智回憶起種種宿命,已經知道、將要知道、現在知道的,都與這五種受陰有關;已經知道、將要知道、現在知道的,都是我過去所經歷的。如是色、如是受、如是想、如是行、如是識。凡是可阻礙、可分割的,稱為色受陰。所指的阻礙,如手、石頭、棍棒、刀、冷、暖、渴、饑、蚊子、虻蟲、各種毒蟲、風、雨的觸感,這稱為觸礙,因此阻礙是色受陰。而且這色受陰是無常、苦、變易的。各種感覺的相是受受陰,感覺什麼呢?感覺苦、感覺樂、感覺不苦不樂,因此稱為感覺的相是受受陰。而且這受受陰是無常、苦、變易的。各種想是想受陰,想什麼呢?少想、多想、無量想、完全沒有而作無所有想,因此稱為想受陰。而且這想受陰是無常、苦、變易的法。作為行為的相是行受陰,作為什麼行為呢?對於色、受、想、行、識的行為,因此作為行為的相是行受陰。而且這行受陰是無常、苦、變易的法。分別認知的相是識受陰,認知什麼呢?認知色、聲、香、味、觸、法,因此稱為識受陰。而且這識受陰是無常、苦、變易的法。』 『諸比丘!那些多聞的聖弟子對於這色受陰這樣學習:『我現在被現在的色所束縛,過去世也曾被那色所束縛,如今現在也是如此。』又這樣想:『我現在被現在的色所束縛,如果我再貪戀未來的色,將來還會被那色所束縛,如今現在也是如此。』如此知曉之後,不留戀過去的色,不貪戀未來的色,對於現在的色生起厭惡、離欲、滅除煩惱、趨向滅盡。

English version: Having known thus, having seen thus, the ignorance-contact that arose earlier ceases, and later, the contact of wisdom arises. Having spoken this discourse, the Buddha, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. (46) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'There are five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? The aggregates of clinging to form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. If a recluse or a Brahmin, through knowledge of past lives, recalls various past lives, what has been known, what will be known, and what is now known, all relate to these five aggregates of clinging; what has been known, what will be known, and what is now known, are what I have experienced in the past. Such was the form, such was the feeling, such was the perception, such were the mental formations, such was the consciousness. Whatever is obstructive and divisible is called the form aggregate of clinging. What is referred to as obstructive, such as hand, stone, stick, knife, cold, warmth, thirst, hunger, mosquitoes, gadflies, various poisonous insects, wind, and rain, these are called obstructive contacts, therefore obstruction is the form aggregate of clinging. Moreover, this form aggregate of clinging is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change. The various aspects of feeling are the feeling aggregate of clinging. What is felt? Feeling of pain, feeling of pleasure, feeling of neither pain nor pleasure, therefore the aspect of feeling is called the feeling aggregate of clinging. Moreover, this feeling aggregate of clinging is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change. The various perceptions are the perception aggregate of clinging. What is perceived? Little perception, much perception, immeasurable perception, and the perception of nothingness, therefore it is called the perception aggregate of clinging. Moreover, this perception aggregate of clinging is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change. The aspect of action is the mental formations aggregate of clinging. What action? Action towards form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, therefore the aspect of action is the mental formations aggregate of clinging. Moreover, this mental formations aggregate of clinging is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change. The aspect of distinguishing is the consciousness aggregate of clinging. What is distinguished? Distinguishing form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and mental objects, therefore it is called the consciousness aggregate of clinging. Moreover, this consciousness aggregate of clinging is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change.' 'Monks, a well-instructed noble disciple learns about this form aggregate of clinging thus: 『I am now consumed by present form, and in past lives I was also consumed by that form, as it is now.』 And he thinks thus: 『I am now consumed by present form, and if I were to crave future form, I would again be consumed by that form, as it is now.』 Having known thus, he does not dwell on past form, does not crave future form, and towards present form, he develops aversion, dispassion, cessation of suffering, and inclines towards cessation.'


。多聞聖弟子於此受、想、行、識受陰學:『我今現在為現在識所食,於過去世已曾為識所食,如今現在。我今已為現在識所食,若復樂著未來識者,亦當復為彼識所食,如今現在。』如是知已,不顧過去識,不樂未來識,于現在識生厭、離欲、滅患、向滅,滅而不增,退而不進,滅而不起,舍而不取。

「於何滅而不增?色滅而不增,受、想、行、識滅而不增。於何退而不進?色退而不進,受、想、行、識退而不進。於何滅而不起?色滅而不起,受、想、行、識滅而不起。於何舍而不取?色舍而不取,受、想、行、識舍而不取。

「滅而不增,寂滅而住;退而不進,寂退而住;滅而不起,寂滅而住;舍而不取,不生繫著;不繫著已,自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經時,眾多比丘不起諸漏,心得解脫。

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

我、卑下、種子  封滯、五轉、七  二繫著及覺  三世陰世食

(四七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「信心善男子應作是念:『我應隨順法,我當於色多修厭離住,于受、想、行、識多修厭離住。』信心善男子即於色多修厭離住。于受、想、行、識多修厭離住,故於色得厭,于受、想、行、識得厭。厭已,離欲、解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:

多聞的聖弟子在受、想、行、識這受陰方面學習:『我現在正被現在的識所吞噬,過去世也曾被識所吞噬,就像現在一樣。我現在已經被現在的識所吞噬,如果還貪戀未來的識,也將會像現在一樣被它吞噬。』這樣認識之後,就不再留戀過去的識,不貪求未來的識,對於現在的識產生厭惡、離欲、滅除煩惱、趨向寂滅,滅除而不增長,退卻而不前進,滅除而不生起,捨棄而不執取。 『在什麼方面滅除而不增長呢?在色滅除而不增長,在受、想、行、識滅除而不增長。在什麼方面退卻而不前進呢?在色退卻而不前進,在受、想、行、識退卻而不前進。在什麼方面滅除而不生起呢?在色滅除而不生起,在受、想、行、識滅除而不生起。在什麼方面捨棄而不執取呢?在色捨棄而不執取,在受、想、行、識捨棄而不執取。』 『滅除而不增長,安住于寂滅;退卻而不前進,安住于寂退;滅除而不生起,安住于寂滅;捨棄而不執取,不產生繫縛執著;不繫縛執著之後,就自覺證得涅槃:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有後世的生命。』 佛陀宣說此經時,許多比丘不再有煩惱,心得到解脫。 佛陀說完此經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 我、卑下、種子,封滯、五轉、七,二繫著及覺,三世陰世食。 (四七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有信心的善男子應當這樣想:『我應當隨順佛法,我應當在色方面多修習厭離,在受、想、行、識方面多修習厭離。』有信心的善男子就在色方面多修習厭離,在受、想、行、識方面多修習厭離,因此對色產生厭惡,對受、想、行、識產生厭惡。厭惡之後,就離欲、解脫,解脫後生起知見:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有後世的生命。』 佛陀說完此經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version:

A well-taught noble disciple learns about the aggregates of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness: 'I am now being consumed by present consciousness, and in the past, I have been consumed by consciousness, just as I am now. I am now being consumed by present consciousness, and if I were to crave future consciousness, I would also be consumed by it, just as I am now.' Having understood this, one does not dwell on past consciousness, does not crave future consciousness, and develops aversion, dispassion, cessation of suffering, and a tendency towards cessation regarding present consciousness. One ceases without increasing, retreats without advancing, ceases without arising, and relinquishes without grasping. 'In what does one cease without increasing? In form, one ceases without increasing; in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, one ceases without increasing. In what does one retreat without advancing? In form, one retreats without advancing; in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, one retreats without advancing. In what does one cease without arising? In form, one ceases without arising; in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, one ceases without arising. In what does one relinquish without grasping? In form, one relinquishes without grasping; in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, one relinquishes without grasping.' 'Ceasing without increasing, one dwells in cessation; retreating without advancing, one dwells in retreat; ceasing without arising, one dwells in cessation; relinquishing without grasping, one does not generate attachment; having no attachment, one realizes Nirvana: 'My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.' When the Buddha spoke this discourse, many monks were freed from defilements, and their minds were liberated. After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. I, humble, seed, blocked, five turns, seven, two attachments and awareness, three worlds, aggregates, world, food. (47) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'A faithful man should think thus: 'I should follow the Dharma, I should cultivate aversion towards form, and I should cultivate aversion towards feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' A faithful man cultivates aversion towards form, and cultivates aversion towards feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Therefore, he becomes averse to form, and becomes averse to feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Having become averse, he is dispassionate, liberated, and has the knowledge of liberation: 'My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

阿難白佛:「世尊!若有長者、長者子來問我者,我當答言:『知色是生滅法,知受、想、行、識是生滅法。』世尊!若長者、長者子如是問者,我當如是答。」

佛告阿難:「善哉!善哉!應如是答。所以者何?色是生滅法,受、想、行、識是生滅法。知色是生滅法者,名為知色;知受、想、行、識是生滅法者,名為知識。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 (四八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『有信心的善男子,以真正的信仰捨棄家庭出家,自己應當這樣想:』我應當順應佛法,對於色應當多修習厭離,對於受、想、行、識也應當多修習厭離。』有信心的善男子,以真正的信仰捨棄家庭出家,對於色多修習厭離,對於受、想、行、識多修習厭離之後,就能從色中解脫,從受、想、行、識中解脫。我所說的這些人,都脫離了一切生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (四九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴尊者阿難說:『如果有信心的長者或者長者的兒子來問你:』對於什麼法知道它的生滅?』你應當如何回答呢?』 阿難稟告佛陀說:『世尊!如果有長者或者長者的兒子來問我,我應當回答說:』知道色是生滅之法,知道受、想、行、識是生滅之法。』世尊!如果長者或者長者的兒子這樣問,我應當這樣回答。』 佛陀告訴阿難說:『很好!很好!應當這樣回答。為什麼呢?因為色是生滅之法,受、想、行、識是生滅之法。知道色是生滅之法的人,就叫做知道色;知道受、想、行、識是生滅之法的人,就叫做知道識。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (五〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version (48) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'A good man of faith, having gone forth from home into homelessness with true faith, should think to himself: 'I should follow the Dharma, and cultivate detachment from form, and cultivate detachment from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' A good man of faith, having gone forth from home into homelessness with true faith, having cultivated detachment from form, and having cultivated detachment from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, will be liberated from form, and liberated from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. I say that these are all liberated from all birth, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (49) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, the World-Honored One said to the Venerable Ananda: 'If a householder or a householder's son of faith were to come and ask you: 'Regarding what dharmas is it known that they arise and cease?' How would you answer?' Ananda said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! If a householder or a householder's son were to come and ask me, I would answer: 'It is known that form is a dharma of arising and ceasing, and it is known that feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are dharmas of arising and ceasing.' World-Honored One! If a householder or a householder's son were to ask in this way, I would answer in this way.' The Buddha said to Ananda: 'Excellent! Excellent! You should answer in this way. Why is that? Because form is a dharma of arising and ceasing, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are dharmas of arising and ceasing. One who knows that form is a dharma of arising and ceasing is called one who knows form; one who knows that feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are dharmas of arising and ceasing is called one who knows consciousness.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (50) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.


爾時,世尊告尊者阿難曰:「若有諸外道出家來問汝言:『阿難!世尊何故教人修諸梵行?』如是問者,云何答乎?」

阿難白佛:「世尊!若外道出家來問我言:『阿難!世尊何故教人修諸梵行?』者,我當答言:『為於色修厭、離欲、滅盡、解脫、不生故,世尊教人修諸梵行;為于受、想、行、識,修厭、離欲、滅盡、解脫、不生故,教人修諸梵行。』世尊!若有外道出家作如是問者,我當作如是答。」

佛告阿難:「善哉!善哉!應如是答。所以者何?我實為於色修厭、離欲、滅盡、解脫、不生故,教人修諸梵行;于受、想、行、識,修厭、離欲、滅盡、解脫、不生故,教人修諸梵行。」

佛說此經已,尊者阿難聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(五一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今為汝說壞、不壞法。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。諸比丘!色是壞法,彼色滅涅槃是不壞法;受、想、行、識是壞法,彼識滅涅槃是不壞法。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

郁低迦修多羅,如增一阿含經四法中說。

(五三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅國人間遊行,于薩羅聚落村北申恕林中住。

爾時,聚落主大姓婆羅門聞沙門釋種子,于釋迦大姓,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道,成無上等正覺,於此拘薩羅國人間遊行,到婆羅聚落村北申恕林中住

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴尊者阿難說:『如果有外道出家人來問你:『阿難!世尊為什麼教人修行梵行?』如果這樣問,你該如何回答呢?』 阿難稟告佛說:『世尊!如果有外道出家人來問我:『阿難!世尊為什麼教人修行梵行?』,我應當回答說:『爲了對色產生厭惡、離欲、滅盡、解脫、不生,世尊才教人修行梵行;爲了對受、想、行、識產生厭惡、離欲、滅盡、解脫、不生,才教人修行梵行。』世尊!如果有外道出家人這樣問,我應當這樣回答。』 佛告訴阿難說:『很好!很好!應該這樣回答。為什麼呢?我確實是爲了對色產生厭惡、離欲、滅盡、解脫、不生,才教人修行梵行;對受、想、行、識產生厭惡、離欲、滅盡、解脫、不生,才教人修行梵行。』 佛說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。

(五一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在為你們說壞法和不壞法。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。諸位比丘!色是壞法,色滅的涅槃是不壞法;受、想、行、識是壞法,識滅的涅槃是不壞法。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。

(五二) 郁低迦修多羅,如同《增一阿含經》四法中所說。

(五三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛在拘薩羅國人間游化,住在薩羅聚落村北的申恕林中。 當時,聚落主大姓婆羅門聽說沙門釋迦族的後裔,屬於釋迦大姓,剃除鬚髮,穿著袈裟,以正信離開家庭,出家學道,成就無上等正覺,在拘薩羅國人間游化,來到婆羅聚落村北的申恕林中居住。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One said to Venerable Ananda: 'If any ascetics from other sects come and ask you, 'Ananda! Why does the World Honored One teach people to practice the Brahma-faring?' If they ask this, how should you answer?' Ananda reported to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! If ascetics from other sects come and ask me, 'Ananda! Why does the World Honored One teach people to practice the Brahma-faring?', I should answer, 'It is because of cultivating aversion, detachment, cessation, liberation, and non-arising towards form that the World Honored One teaches people to practice the Brahma-faring; it is because of cultivating aversion, detachment, cessation, liberation, and non-arising towards feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness that he teaches people to practice the Brahma-faring.' World Honored One! If ascetics from other sects ask this, I should answer in this way.' The Buddha said to Ananda: 'Excellent! Excellent! You should answer in this way. Why is that? It is indeed because of cultivating aversion, detachment, cessation, liberation, and non-arising towards form that I teach people to practice the Brahma-faring; it is because of cultivating aversion, detachment, cessation, liberation, and non-arising towards feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness that I teach people to practice the Brahma-faring.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(51) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'I will now explain to you the laws of decay and non-decay. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. Monks! Form is a law of decay, and the Nirvana of the cessation of form is a law of non-decay; feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are laws of decay, and the Nirvana of the cessation of consciousness is a law of non-decay.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(52) The Uktika Sutra is as described in the four laws of the Ekottara Agama Sutra.

(53) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the Kosala country, staying in the Shenshu Grove north of the village of Salara. At that time, the village chief, a Brahmin of a great clan, heard that the ascetic of the Shakya clan, belonging to the great Shakya clan, had shaved his head and beard, donned the monastic robe, left his home with true faith, and gone forth to study the Way, achieving unsurpassed perfect enlightenment, and was wandering in the Kosala country, staying in the Shenshu Grove north of the village of Baro.


。又彼沙門瞿曇如是色貌名稱,真實功德,天、人讚嘆,聞於八方,為如來、應、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊,于諸世間、諸天、魔、梵沙門、婆羅門中,大智慧自證知:「我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。」為世說法,初、中、后善,善義、善味,純一滿凈,梵行清白,演說妙法。善哉應見!善哉應往!善應敬事!作是念已,即便嚴駕,多將翼從,執持金瓶、杖枝、傘蓋,往詣佛所,恭敬奉事。到于林口,下車步進,至世尊所,問訊安不,卻坐一面,白世尊曰:「沙門瞿曇!何論何說?」

佛告婆羅門:「我論因、說因。」

又白佛言:「云何論因?云何說因?」

佛告婆羅門:「有因有緣集世間,有因有緣世間集;有因有緣滅世間,有因有緣世間滅。」

婆羅門白佛言:「世尊!云何為有因有緣集世間,有因有緣世間集?」

佛告婆羅門:「愚癡無聞凡夫色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離,不如實知。不如實知故,愛樂於色,讚歎於色,染著心住;彼於色愛樂故取,取緣有,有緣生,生緣老、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,是則大苦聚集。受、想、行、識亦復如是。婆羅門!是名有因有緣集世間,有因有緣世間集。」

婆羅門白佛言:「云何為有因有緣滅世間,有因有緣世間滅?」

佛告婆羅門:「多聞聖弟子於色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離如實知。如實知已,于彼色不愛樂、不讚嘆、不染著、不留住

現代漢語譯本:又聽說那位沙門瞿曇,他的容貌、名聲、真實的功德,受到天人和八方讚歎,被稱為如來、應供、正等覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊。他在世間、諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門中,以大智慧親自證悟:『我已斷絕生死,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的都已做完,自己知道不再有來世。』他為世人說法,初善、中善、后善,意義深遠,味道純正,圓滿清凈,梵行清白,宣說微妙的佛法。真是太好了,應該去見他!應該去拜訪他!應該恭敬地侍奉他!』這樣想著,他立刻準備好車駕,帶著許多隨從,拿著金瓶、手杖、傘蓋,前往佛陀所在的地方,恭敬地侍奉。到了林子入口,下車步行,來到世尊面前,問候平安,然後坐在一旁,對世尊說:『沙門瞿曇,您講的是什麼道理?您說的是什麼內容?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『我講的是因,說的是因。』 婆羅門又問佛陀:『什麼是講因?什麼是說因?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『有因有緣,世間才會聚集;有因有緣,世間才會產生;有因有緣,世間才會滅亡;有因有緣,世間才會消散。』 婆羅門問佛陀:『世尊,什麼是有因有緣,世間才會聚集?什麼是有因有緣,世間才會產生?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『愚癡無知的凡夫,對於色的產生、色的滅亡、色的滋味、色的過患、色的離散,不能如實地瞭解。因為不能如實瞭解,所以貪愛色,讚歎色,執著於色;因為貪愛色,所以產生執取,執取導致存在,存在導致出生,出生導致衰老、死亡、憂愁、悲傷、痛苦,這就是大苦的聚集。受、想、行、識也是如此。婆羅門,這就是有因有緣,世間才會聚集;有因有緣,世間才會產生。』 婆羅門問佛陀:『什麼是有因有緣,世間才會滅亡?什麼是有因有緣,世間才會消散?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『多聞的聖弟子,對於色的產生、色的滅亡、色的滋味、色的過患、色的離散,能夠如實地瞭解。如實瞭解之後,對於色不再貪愛,不再讚歎,不再執著,不再留戀。

English version: Moreover, it was heard that the ascetic Gautama, with such appearance, name, and true virtues, praised by gods and humans in all directions, was known as the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One, perfect in knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Trainer of Those Who Can Be Trained, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, the Buddha, the World-Honored One. Among all the worlds, gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, and Brahmins, with great wisdom, he had personally realized: 'My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, I know that I will not have another existence.' He teaches the Dharma to the world, good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with profound meaning and pure taste, complete and pure, with a pure holy life, expounding the wonderful Dharma. How excellent! It is right to see him! It is right to visit him! It is right to respectfully serve him!' Thinking this, he immediately prepared his carriage, took many attendants, holding golden vases, staffs, and parasols, and went to where the Buddha was, to respectfully serve him. Arriving at the entrance of the grove, he got out of the carriage and walked to where the World-Honored One was, inquired about his well-being, and sat down to one side, saying to the World-Honored One: 'Ascetic Gautama, what do you discuss? What do you speak about?' The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'I discuss cause, I speak of cause.' The Brahmin then asked the Buddha: 'What is discussing cause? What is speaking of cause?' The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'With cause and condition, the world gathers; with cause and condition, the world arises; with cause and condition, the world ceases; with cause and condition, the world dissolves.' The Brahmin asked the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, what is it that with cause and condition, the world gathers? What is it that with cause and condition, the world arises?' The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'The foolish, ignorant ordinary person does not truly know the arising of form, the cessation of form, the taste of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form. Because they do not truly know, they crave form, praise form, and cling to form; because they crave form, they grasp, grasping leads to existence, existence leads to birth, birth leads to old age, death, sorrow, grief, and suffering, and this is the gathering of great suffering. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Brahmin, this is what is meant by with cause and condition, the world gathers; with cause and condition, the world arises.' The Brahmin asked the Buddha: 'What is it that with cause and condition, the world ceases? What is it that with cause and condition, the world dissolves?' The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'The well-learned noble disciple truly knows the arising of form, the cessation of form, the taste of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form. Having truly known this, they no longer crave form, no longer praise form, no longer cling to form, and no longer dwell on form.'


。不愛樂、不留住故,色愛則滅,愛滅則取滅,取滅則有滅,有滅則生滅,生滅則老、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅。受、想、行、識亦復如是。婆羅門!是名有因有緣滅世間,是名有因有緣世間滅。婆羅門!是名論因,是名說因。」

婆羅門白佛言:「瞿曇!如是論因,如是說因。世間多事,今請辭還。」

佛告婆羅門:「宜知是時!」

佛說此經已,諸婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,禮足而去。

(五四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。

彼時,毗迦多魯迦聚落有婆羅門來詣佛所,恭敬問訊,卻坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!我有年少弟子,知天文、族姓,為諸大眾占相吉兇,言有必有,言無必無,言成必成,言壞必壞。瞿曇!于意云何?」

佛告婆羅門:「且置汝年少弟子知天文、族姓。我今問汝,隨汝意答

現代漢語譯本:不執著于喜愛,不留戀過去,對色慾的愛就會消滅;愛消滅,執取就會消滅;執取消滅,存在就會消滅;存在消滅,出生就會消滅;出生消滅,衰老、死亡、憂愁、悲傷、煩惱、痛苦就會消滅。感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此。婆羅門!這叫做有因有緣的世間滅,這叫做有因有緣的世間消滅。婆羅門!這叫做論述原因,這叫做說明原因。 婆羅門對佛說:『瞿曇!您說的原因論述得很好,說明得也很清楚。世間俗事繁多,現在請允許我告辭回去。』 佛告訴婆羅門:『您應該知道什麼時候該離開!』 佛說完這部經后,眾婆羅門聽了佛的教誨,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (五四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中。 當時,毗迦多魯迦村落有一位婆羅門來到佛陀所在的地方,恭敬地問候,然後坐在一旁,對佛說:『瞿曇!我有一個年輕的弟子,他精通天文、族譜,為大眾占卜吉兇,說有就一定有,說無就一定無,說成就會成,說壞就會壞。瞿曇!您認為怎麼樣?』 佛告訴婆羅門:『先放下你年輕弟子精通天文、族譜的事情。我現在問你,你根據自己的想法回答。』

English version: Not loving, not dwelling on the past, the love of form will cease; when love ceases, grasping ceases; when grasping ceases, existence ceases; when existence ceases, birth ceases; when birth ceases, old age, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering cease. Feeling, thought, action, and consciousness are also like this. Brahmin! This is called the cessation of the world with cause and condition, this is called the extinction of the world with cause and condition. Brahmin! This is called discussing the cause, this is called explaining the cause. The Brahmin said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! Your discussion of the cause is very good, and your explanation is very clear. There are many worldly affairs, now please allow me to take my leave and return.' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'You should know when it is time to leave!' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Brahmins who heard the Buddha's teachings rejoiced and praised, then bowed and departed. (54) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Deer Park at the hermitage of the ascetics in the country of Varanasi. At that time, a Brahmin from the village of Vikataruka came to where the Buddha was, respectfully greeted him, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'Gautama! I have a young disciple who is proficient in astronomy and genealogy, and who divines good and bad omens for the public, saying that if something exists, it will certainly exist, if something does not exist, it will certainly not exist, if something will succeed, it will certainly succeed, if something will fail, it will certainly fail. Gautama! What do you think?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'Let's put aside the matter of your young disciple being proficient in astronomy and genealogy. I will ask you now, answer according to your own thoughts.'


。婆羅門!于意云何?色本無種耶?」

答曰:「如是,世尊!」

「受、想、行、識本無種耶?」

答曰:「如是,世尊!」

佛告婆羅門:「汝言我年少弟子知天文、族姓,為諸大眾作如是說,言有必有,言無必無,知見非不實耶?」

婆羅門白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告婆羅門:「于意云何?頗有色常住百歲耶?為異生、異滅耶?受、想、行、識常住百歲耶?異生、異滅耶?」

答曰:「如是,世尊!」

佛告婆羅門:「于意云何?汝年少弟子知天文、族姓,為大眾說,成者不壞,知見非不異耶?」

答曰:「如是,世尊!」

佛告婆羅門:「于意云何?此法彼法,此說彼說,何者為勝?」

婆羅門白佛言:「世尊!此如法說,如佛所說顯現開發。譬如有人溺水能救,獲囚能救,迷方示路,闇惠明燈。世尊今日善說勝法,亦復如是顯現開發。」

佛說此經已,毗迦多魯迦婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,即從坐起,禮足而去。

(五五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說陰及受陰。云何為陰?若所有諸色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內,若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切總說色陰。隨諸所有受、想、行、識亦復如是。彼一切總說受、想、行、識陰,是名為陰

『婆羅門,你認為如何?色法本身是沒有根源的嗎?』 回答說:『是的,世尊!』 『受、想、行、識本身是沒有根源的嗎?』 回答說:『是的,世尊!』 佛告訴婆羅門:『你說你年輕的弟子懂得天文、族姓,為大眾這樣宣說,說有就一定有,說無就一定無,他們的見解不是不真實的嗎?』 婆羅門對佛說:『是的,世尊!』 佛告訴婆羅門:『你認為如何?色法有可能常住百年嗎?還是會生滅變化?受、想、行、識有可能常住百年嗎?還是會生滅變化?』 回答說:『是的,世尊!』 佛告訴婆羅門:『你認為如何?你年輕的弟子懂得天文、族姓,為大眾宣說,說成形的東西不會壞滅,他們的見解不是不真實的嗎?』 回答說:『是的,世尊!』 佛告訴婆羅門:『你認為如何?這種說法和那種說法,這種見解和那種見解,哪一種更為殊勝?』 婆羅門對佛說:『世尊!這種說法是如法的,就像佛所說的,能夠顯現和開發智慧。譬如有人溺水能夠被救起,被囚禁的人能夠被解救,迷路的人能夠被指引方向,黑暗中能夠被給予光明。世尊今天善說殊勝的佛法,也是這樣顯現和開發智慧。』 佛說完這部經后,毗迦多魯迦婆羅門聽聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,立即從座位上起身,禮拜佛足后離去。 (五五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀在波羅奈國的仙人居住的鹿野苑中。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說陰和受陰。什麼是陰呢?凡是所有的色法,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在的還是外在的,無論是粗糙的還是細微的,無論是美好的還是醜陋的,無論是遙遠的還是臨近的,這一切都總稱為色陰。所有受、想、行、識也是如此。這一切都總稱為受、想、行、識陰,這就是所謂的陰。』

'Brahmin, what do you think? Is form inherently without a source?' He replied, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' 'Are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness inherently without a source?' He replied, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'You say that your young disciples know astronomy and lineage, and they proclaim to the assembly, saying that if something exists, it must exist, and if something does not exist, it must not exist. Are their views not untrue?' The Brahmin said to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'What do you think? Is it possible for form to remain constant for a hundred years? Or does it arise and cease? Is it possible for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness to remain constant for a hundred years? Or do they arise and cease?' He replied, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'What do you think? Your young disciples know astronomy and lineage, and they proclaim to the assembly that what is formed will not decay. Are their views not untrue?' He replied, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'What do you think? Between this teaching and that teaching, this view and that view, which is superior?' The Brahmin said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir! This teaching is in accordance with the Dharma, just as the Buddha has said, revealing and developing wisdom. It is like someone who is drowning being rescued, someone imprisoned being freed, someone lost being shown the way, and someone in darkness being given light. The Venerable Sir's excellent teaching of the Dharma today is also like this, revealing and developing wisdom.' After the Buddha finished speaking this discourse, the Brahmin Vikataruka, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted. He immediately rose from his seat, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and departed. (55) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at Isipatana in Varanasi. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the bhikkhus, 'I will now speak about the aggregates and the aggregate of feeling. What are the aggregates? All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of these are collectively called the aggregate of form. All feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this. All of these are collectively called the aggregates of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. These are what are called the aggregates.'


。云何為受陰?若色是有漏、是取,若彼色過去、未來、現在,生貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡及餘種種上煩惱心法;受、想、行、識亦復如是,是名受陰。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(五六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說有漏、無漏法。若色有漏、是取,彼色能生愛、恚;如是受、想、行、識,有漏、是取,彼識能生愛、恚,是名有漏法。云何無漏法?諸所有色無漏、非受,彼色若過去、未來、現在,彼色不生愛、恚;如是受、想、行、識,無漏、非受,彼識若過去、未來、現在,不生貪、恚,是名無漏法。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

二信、二阿難  壞法、郁低迦  婆羅及世間  陰、漏、無漏法

(五七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,還持衣缽,不語眾,不告侍者,獨一無二,于西方國土人間遊行。

時,安陀林中有一比丘,遙見世尊不語眾,不告侍者,獨一無二。見已,進詣尊者阿難所,白阿難言:「尊者!當知世尊不語眾,不告侍者,獨一無二而出遊行。」

爾時,阿難語彼比丘:「若使世尊不語眾,不告侍者,獨一無二而出遊行,不應隨從。所以者何?今日世尊欲住寂滅滅少事故。」

爾時,世尊遊行北至半阇國波陀聚落,於人所守護林中,住一跋陀薩羅樹下

現代漢語譯本:什麼是受陰?如果色法是有漏的、是執取的,那麼這個色法,無論是過去、未來還是現在,都會產生貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡以及其他種種更強烈的煩惱心法;受、想、行、識也是如此,這就叫做受陰。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (五六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說有漏法和無漏法。如果色法是有漏的、是執取的,那麼這個色法就能產生愛和嗔;同樣,受、想、行、識,如果是有漏的、是執取的,那麼這個識就能產生愛和嗔,這就叫做有漏法。什麼是無漏法呢?所有無漏的、非執取的色法,無論是過去、未來還是現在,都不會產生愛和嗔;同樣,受、想、行、識,如果是無漏的、非執取的,那麼這個識,無論是過去、未來還是現在,都不會產生貪和嗔,這就叫做無漏法。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 二信、二阿難  壞法、郁低迦 婆羅及世間  陰、漏、無漏法 (五七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食,回來后收好衣缽,沒有告訴大眾,也沒有告訴侍者,獨自一人前往西方國土的人間。 當時,安陀林中有一位比丘,遠遠地看見世尊沒有告訴大眾,也沒有告訴侍者,獨自一人離開。看見后,就去拜見尊者阿難,對阿難說:『尊者,您應該知道,世尊沒有告訴大眾,也沒有告訴侍者,獨自一人離開了。』 那時,阿難對比丘說:『如果世尊沒有告訴大眾,也沒有告訴侍者,獨自一人離開,我們不應該跟隨。為什麼呢?因為今天世尊想要安住于寂滅,減少事務。』 那時,世尊向北走到半阇國的波陀聚落,在人們守護的樹林中,住在一棵跋陀薩羅樹下。

English version: What is the feeling aggregate? If form is defiled and grasped, then that form, whether past, future, or present, gives rise to greed, hatred, delusion, and various other higher defilements of the mind; feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also the same, this is called the feeling aggregate. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (56) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at the Isipatana hermitage in the country of Varanasi. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'I will now speak about defiled and undefiled dharmas. If form is defiled and grasped, that form can give rise to love and hatred; likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, if they are defiled and grasped, that consciousness can give rise to love and hatred, this is called defiled dharma. What is undefiled dharma? All undefiled and ungrasped forms, whether past, future, or present, do not give rise to love and hatred; likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, if they are undefiled and ungrasped, that consciousness, whether past, future, or present, does not give rise to greed and hatred, this is called undefiled dharma.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Two Faiths, Two Ananda, Corrupt Dharma, Utika, Brahmin and World, Aggregates, Defiled, Undefiled Dharmas (57) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove at Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered the city of Sravasti to beg for alms. After returning, he put away his robes and bowl, without speaking to the assembly, nor informing his attendant, alone and without a second, he went to the human realm in the western country. At that time, there was a monk in the Andha forest who saw from afar that the World Honored One had not spoken to the assembly, nor informed his attendant, and had left alone and without a second. Having seen this, he went to Venerable Ananda and said to Ananda: 'Venerable One, you should know that the World Honored One has left without speaking to the assembly, nor informing his attendant, alone and without a second.' At that time, Ananda said to that monk: 'If the World Honored One has left without speaking to the assembly, nor informing his attendant, alone and without a second, we should not follow. Why is that? Because today the World Honored One wishes to abide in tranquility and reduce his affairs.' At that time, the World Honored One went north to the village of Patha in the country of Panja, and in a forest protected by people, he stayed under a Bhadrasala tree.


。時有眾多比丘詣阿難所,語阿難言:「今聞世尊住在何所?」

阿難答曰:「我聞世尊北至半阇國波陀聚落,人所守護林中跋陀薩羅樹下。」

時,諸比丘語阿難曰:「尊者知我等不見世尊已久,若不憚勞者,可共往詣世尊?」哀愍故,阿難知時,默然而許。

爾時,尊者阿難與眾多比丘夜過晨朝,著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。乞食已,還精舍,舉臥具,持衣缽,出至西方人間遊行,北至半阇國波陀聚落人守護林中。時,尊者阿難與眾多比丘置衣缽,洗足已,詣世尊所,頭面禮足,於一面坐。

爾時,世尊為眾多比丘說法,示、教、利、喜。

爾時,座中有一比丘作是念:「云何知、云何見,疾得漏盡?」爾時,世尊知彼比丘心之所念,告諸比丘:「若有比丘於此座中作是念:『云何知、云何見,疾得漏盡?』者,我已說法言:『當善觀察諸陰,所謂四念處、四正勤、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺分、八聖道分。』我已說如是法,觀察諸陰。而今猶有善男子不勤欲作、不勤樂、不勤念、不勤信,而自慢惰,不能增進得盡諸漏。若復善男子於我所說法,觀察諸陰,勤欲、勤樂、勤念、勤信,彼能疾得盡諸漏。愚癡無聞凡夫於色見是我,若見我者,是名為行。彼行何因?何集?何生?何轉?無明觸生愛,緣愛起彼行。彼愛何因?何集?何生?何轉?彼愛受因、受集、受生、受轉。彼受何因?何集?何生?何轉?彼受觸因、觸集、觸生、觸轉。彼觸何因?何集?何生?何轉?謂彼觸六入處因、六入處集、六入處生、六入處轉

現代漢語譯本:當時,有很多比丘來到阿難那裡,問阿難說:『現在聽說世尊住在哪裡?』 阿難回答說:『我聽說世尊向北到了半阇國的波陀聚落,在人們守護的樹林中,跋陀薩羅樹下。』 當時,那些比丘對阿難說:『尊者,我們很久沒見到世尊了,如果不怕辛苦,可以一起去拜見世尊嗎?』因為憐憫他們,阿難知道時機成熟,就默許了。 那時,尊者阿難和眾多比丘在天亮后,穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。乞食完畢,回到精舍,收拾好臥具,拿著衣缽,向西邊的人間出發,向北到了半阇國的波陀聚落,在人們守護的樹林中。當時,尊者阿難和眾多比丘放下衣缽,洗完腳,就去拜見世尊,頭面頂禮世尊的腳,然後在一旁坐下。 那時,世尊為眾多比丘說法,開示、教導、利益、使他們歡喜。 當時,座中有一位比丘這樣想:『怎樣知道、怎樣見到,才能快速地斷盡煩惱?』那時,世尊知道那位比丘心中所想,就告訴眾比丘:『如果這裡有比丘這樣想:『怎樣知道、怎樣見到,才能快速地斷盡煩惱?』,我已經說法說:『應當好好觀察諸陰,也就是四念處、四正勤、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺支、八聖道分。』我已經說了這樣的法,觀察諸陰。但是現在還有善男子不勤奮去做、不勤奮樂意、不勤奮憶念、不勤奮相信,反而自滿懈怠,不能增進修行以斷盡煩惱。如果善男子對於我所說的法,觀察諸陰,勤奮去做、勤奮樂意、勤奮憶念、勤奮相信,他們就能快速地斷盡煩惱。愚癡無知的凡夫認為色是我,如果認為是我,這就叫做行。這個行是什麼原因?什麼集起?什麼產生?什麼轉變?無明觸生愛,因為愛而產生這個行。這個愛是什麼原因?什麼集起?什麼產生?什麼轉變?這個愛是受的原因、受的集起、受的產生、受的轉變。這個受是什麼原因?什麼集起?什麼產生?什麼轉變?這個受是觸的原因、觸的集起、觸的產生、觸的轉變。這個觸是什麼原因?什麼集起?什麼產生?什麼轉變?這個觸是六入處的原因、六入處的集起、六入處的產生、六入處的轉變。

English version: At that time, many monks went to Ananda and asked him, 'Where is the Blessed One staying now?' Ananda replied, 'I heard that the Blessed One has gone north to the village of Patha in the country of Panja, under the Bhadrasala tree in the forest protected by people.' Then, those monks said to Ananda, 'Venerable One, it has been a long time since we saw the Blessed One. If you are not afraid of hardship, can we go together to see the Blessed One?' Out of compassion, Ananda, knowing the time was right, silently agreed. At that time, Venerable Ananda and many monks, after dawn, put on their robes, took their bowls, and entered Savatthi to beg for food. After begging for food, they returned to the monastery, gathered their bedding, took their robes and bowls, and set out westward into the human realm, going north to the village of Patha in the country of Panja, in the forest protected by people. Then, Venerable Ananda and many monks put down their robes and bowls, washed their feet, and went to see the Blessed One, bowing their heads at his feet, and sat down on one side. At that time, the Blessed One was teaching the Dharma to many monks, showing, instructing, benefiting, and gladdening them. At that time, a monk in the assembly thought, 'How can one know and see, and quickly attain the end of defilements?' Then, the Blessed One, knowing the thought in that monk's mind, said to the monks, 'If there is a monk here who thinks, 'How can one know and see, and quickly attain the end of defilements?', I have already taught the Dharma, saying, 'One should carefully observe the aggregates, namely the four foundations of mindfulness, the four right exertions, the four bases of power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven factors of enlightenment, and the eightfold noble path.' I have already taught this Dharma, observing the aggregates. But now there are still good men who are not diligent in doing, not diligent in desiring, not diligent in remembering, not diligent in believing, but are instead complacent and lazy, and cannot progress to the end of defilements. If a good man, regarding the Dharma I have taught, observes the aggregates, is diligent in doing, diligent in desiring, diligent in remembering, and diligent in believing, they can quickly attain the end of defilements. Ignorant and unlearned ordinary people see form as 'I', and if they see 'I', this is called action. What is the cause of this action? What is its origin? What is its arising? What is its transformation? Ignorance-contact gives rise to craving, and because of craving, this action arises. What is the cause of this craving? What is its origin? What is its arising? What is its transformation? This craving is caused by feeling, arises from feeling, is born from feeling, and transforms from feeling. What is the cause of this feeling? What is its origin? What is its arising? What is its transformation? This feeling is caused by contact, arises from contact, is born from contact, and transforms from contact. What is the cause of this contact? What is its origin? What is its arising? What is its transformation? This contact is caused by the six sense bases, arises from the six sense bases, is born from the six sense bases, and transforms from the six sense bases.'


。彼六入處無常、有為、心緣起法;彼觸、受、行、愛,亦無常、有為、心緣起法……如是觀者,而見色是我……不見色是我,而見色是我所……不見色是我所,而見色在我……不見色在我,而見我在色……不見我在色,而見受是我……不見受是我,而見受是我所……不見受是我所,而見受在我……不見受在我,而見我在受……不見我在受,而見想是我……不見想是我,而見想是我所……不見想是我所,而見想在我……不見想在我,而見我在想……不見我在想,而見行是我……不見行是我,而見行是我所……不見行是我所,而見行在我……不見行在我,而見我在行……不見我在行,而見識是我……不見識是我,而見識是我所……不見識是我所,而見識在我……不見識在我,而見我在識……不見我在識,復作斷見、壞有見。不作斷見、壞有見,而不離我慢。不離我慢者,而復見我,見我者即是行。彼行何因?何集?何生?何轉?如前所說,乃至我慢。作如是知、如是見者,疾得漏盡。」

佛說經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(五八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國東園鹿母講堂。

爾時,世尊于晡時從禪覺,于諸比丘前敷座而坐,告諸比丘:「有五受陰。云何為五?謂色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。」

時,有一比丘從坐起,整衣服,偏袒右肩,右膝著地,合掌白佛言:「世尊!此五受陰,色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰耶?」

佛告比丘:「還坐而問,當爲汝說

『他的六個感官入口是無常的、有為的、由心所生的法;他的觸、受、行、愛,也是無常的、有為的、由心所生的法……像這樣觀察的人,會認為色是我……不認為色是我,而認為色是我的所有……不認為色是我的所有,而認為色在我之中……不認為色在我之中,而認為我在色之中……不認為我在色之中,而認為受是我……不認為受是我,而認為受是我的所有……不認為受是我的所有,而認為受在我之中……不認為受在我之中,而認為我在受之中……不認為我在受之中,而認為想是我……不認為想是我,而認為想是我的所有……不認為想是我的所有,而認為想在我之中……不認為想在我之中,而認為我在想之中……不認為我在想之中,而認為行是我……不認為行是我,而認為行是我的所有……不認為行是我的所有,而認為行在我之中……不認為行在我之中,而認為我在行之中……不認為我在行之中,而認為識是我……不認為識是我,而認為識是我的所有……不認為識是我的所有,而認為識在我之中……不認為識在我之中,而認為我在識之中……不認為我在識之中,又產生斷滅見、虛無見。不產生斷滅見、虛無見,卻不離我慢。不離我慢的人,又會見到我,見到我就是行。他的行是什麼原因?什麼集起?什麼產生?什麼轉變?如前面所說,乃至我慢。像這樣知道、像這樣見到的人,很快就能漏盡。』 佛陀說完經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (五八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國東園的鹿母講堂。 那時,世尊在傍晚時分從禪定中醒來,在眾比丘前鋪設座位坐下,告訴眾比丘:『有五種受陰。哪五種呢?就是色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。』 當時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,整理衣服,袒露右肩,右膝著地,合掌對佛陀說:『世尊!這五種受陰,是色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰嗎?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『你坐下再問,我當爲你解說。』

'His six sense entrances are impermanent, conditioned, and arise from the mind; his contact, feeling, formations, and craving are also impermanent, conditioned, and arise from the mind... One who observes in this way sees form as 'I'... not seeing form as 'I', but seeing form as 'mine'... not seeing form as 'mine', but seeing form in 'me'... not seeing form in 'me', but seeing 'I' in form... not seeing 'I' in form, but seeing feeling as 'I'... not seeing feeling as 'I', but seeing feeling as 'mine'... not seeing feeling as 'mine', but seeing feeling in 'me'... not seeing feeling in 'me', but seeing 'I' in feeling... not seeing 'I' in feeling, but seeing perception as 'I'... not seeing perception as 'I', but seeing perception as 'mine'... not seeing perception as 'mine', but seeing perception in 'me'... not seeing perception in 'me', but seeing 'I' in perception... not seeing 'I' in perception, but seeing formations as 'I'... not seeing formations as 'I', but seeing formations as 'mine'... not seeing formations as 'mine', but seeing formations in 'me'... not seeing formations in 'me', but seeing 'I' in formations... not seeing 'I' in formations, but seeing consciousness as 'I'... not seeing consciousness as 'I', but seeing consciousness as 'mine'... not seeing consciousness as 'mine', but seeing consciousness in 'me'... not seeing consciousness in 'me', but seeing 'I' in consciousness... not seeing 'I' in consciousness, again produces annihilation view, nihilistic view. Not producing annihilation view, nihilistic view, yet not departing from conceit. One who does not depart from conceit, again sees 'I', seeing 'I' is formations. What is the cause of his formations? What is their origin? What is their arising? What is their transformation? As said before, up to conceit. One who knows and sees in this way quickly attains the extinction of outflows.' After the Buddha finished speaking the sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (58) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the Eastern Garden of Shravasti. Then, the World Honored One, in the late afternoon, arose from meditation, laid out a seat in front of the monks, and sat down, telling the monks: 'There are five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? They are the aggregate of form, feeling, perception, formations, and consciousness.' At that time, a certain monk rose from his seat, arranged his robe, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! Are these five aggregates of clinging, the aggregate of form, feeling, perception, formations, and consciousness?' The Buddha told the monk: 'Sit down and ask again, and I will explain it to you.'


。」

時,彼比丘為佛作禮,還複本坐,白佛言:「世尊!此五受陰,以何為根?以何集?以何生?以何觸?」

佛告比丘:「此五受陰,欲為根,欲集、欲生、欲觸。」

時,彼比丘聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,而白佛言:「世尊!為說五陰即受,善哉所說!今當更問。世尊!陰即受,為五陰異受耶?」

佛告比丘:「非五陰即受,亦非五陰異受;能于彼有欲貪者,是五受陰。」

比丘白佛:「善哉!世尊!歡喜隨喜,今復更問。世尊!有二陰相關耶?」

佛告比丘:「如是,如是。猶若有一人如是思惟:『我于未來得如是色、如是受、如是想、如是行、如是識。』是名比丘陰陰相關也。」

比丘白佛:「善哉所說,歡喜隨喜。」

更有所問:「世尊!云何名陰?」佛告比丘:「諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切總說陰,是名為陰。受、想、行、識亦復如是。如是,比丘!是名為陰。」

比丘白佛:「善哉所說,歡喜隨喜。」

更有所問:「世尊!何因何緣名為色陰?何因何緣名受、想、行、識陰?」

佛告比丘:「四大因、四大緣,是名色陰。所以者何?諸所有色陰,彼一切悉皆四大,緣四大造故。觸因、觸緣,生受、想、行,是故名受、想、行陰。所以者何?若所有受、想、行,彼一切觸緣故,名色因、名色緣,是故名為識陰。所以者何?若所有識,彼一切名色緣故。」

比丘白佛:「善哉所說,歡喜隨喜

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位比丘向佛陀行禮后,回到自己的座位,對佛陀說:『世尊!這五種受陰,以什麼為根源?以什麼為集結?以什麼為產生?以什麼為觸及?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『這五種受陰,以慾望為根源,慾望集結、慾望產生、慾望觸及。』 當時,那位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,然後對佛陀說:『世尊!您說五陰就是受,說得太好了!我現在想再問一下。世尊!陰就是受,還是五陰與受不同呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『不是五陰就是受,也不是五陰與受不同;能對它們產生慾望和貪戀的,就是這五種受陰。』 比丘對佛陀說:『太好了!世尊!我歡喜讚歎,現在再問一個問題。世尊!存在兩種陰相互關聯的情況嗎?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『是的,是的。就像有個人這樣思考:『我將來會得到這樣的色、這樣的受、這樣的想、這樣的行、這樣的識。』比丘,這就叫做陰陰相關。』 比丘對佛陀說:『您說得太好了,我歡喜讚歎。』 他又問:『世尊!什麼叫做陰呢?』佛陀告訴比丘:『所有一切色,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細微,無論是美好還是醜陋,無論是遙遠還是臨近,它們都被總稱為陰,這就是陰。受、想、行、識也是如此。比丘,這就是陰。』 比丘對佛陀說:『您說得太好了,我歡喜讚歎。』 他又問:『世尊!因為什麼原因叫做色陰?因為什麼原因叫做受、想、行、識陰呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『四大是色陰的原因和條件。為什麼呢?所有色陰,它們都是由四大構成,由四大所造。觸是受、想、行產生的原因和條件,所以叫做受、想、行陰。為什麼呢?所有受、想、行,它們都是由觸所產生。色是識的原因和條件,所以叫做識陰。為什麼呢?所有識,它們都是由色所產生。』 比丘對佛陀說:『您說得太好了,我歡喜讚歎。』

English version Then, that bhikkhu, having bowed to the Buddha, returned to his seat and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, what is the root of these five aggregates of clinging? What is their origin? What is their arising? What is their contact?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'These five aggregates of clinging have desire as their root, desire as their origin, desire as their arising, and desire as their contact.' Then, that bhikkhu, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, it is well said that the five aggregates are clinging! Now I will ask further. Venerable Sir, is clinging the same as the aggregates, or are the five aggregates different from clinging?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'It is not that the five aggregates are the same as clinging, nor are the five aggregates different from clinging; those who have desire and craving for them, these are the five aggregates of clinging.' The bhikkhu said to the Buddha: 'Excellent, Venerable Sir! I rejoice and am pleased, and now I will ask another question. Venerable Sir, is there a connection between two aggregates?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'Yes, yes. Just as a person might think: 『In the future, I will have such a form, such a feeling, such a perception, such a mental formation, such a consciousness.』 This, bhikkhu, is called the connection between aggregates.' The bhikkhu said to the Buddha: 'It is well said, I rejoice and am pleased.' He asked further: 'Venerable Sir, what is called an aggregate?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of them are collectively called an aggregate, this is called an aggregate. So too are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Thus, bhikkhu, this is called an aggregate.' The bhikkhu said to the Buddha: 'It is well said, I rejoice and am pleased.' He asked further: 'Venerable Sir, what is the cause and condition for calling it the aggregate of form? What is the cause and condition for calling it the aggregate of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'The four great elements are the cause and condition for the aggregate of form. Why is that? All aggregates of form, they are all made of the four great elements, created by the four great elements. Contact is the cause and condition for the arising of feeling, perception, and mental formations, therefore they are called the aggregates of feeling, perception, and mental formations. Why is that? All feelings, perceptions, and mental formations, they all arise from contact. Form is the cause and condition for consciousness, therefore it is called the aggregate of consciousness. Why is that? All consciousness, it all arises from form.' The bhikkhu said to the Buddha: 'It is well said, I rejoice and am pleased.'


。」

更有所問:「云何色味?云何色患?云何色離?云何受、想、行、識味?云何識患?云何識離?」

佛告比丘:「緣色生喜樂,是名色味;若色無常、苦、變易法,是名色患;若於色調伏欲貪、斷欲貪、越欲貪,是名色離。若緣受、想、行、識生喜樂,是名識味;受、想、行、識,無常、苦、變易法,是名識患;于受、想、行、識,調伏欲貪、斷欲貪、越欲貪,是名識離。」

比丘白佛:「善哉所說,歡喜隨喜。」

更有所問:「世尊!云何生我慢?」

佛告比丘:「愚癡無聞凡夫於色見我、異我、相在,于受、想、行、識見我、異我、相在,於此生我慢。」

比丘白佛:「善哉所說,歡喜隨喜。」

更有所問:「世尊!云何得無我慢?」

佛告比丘:「多聞聖弟子不於色見我、異我、相在,不于受、想、行、識,見我、異我、相在。」

比丘白佛:「善哉所說,更有所問,何所知、何所見,盡得漏盡?」

佛告比丘:「諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在;受、想、行、識亦復如是。比丘!如是知,如是見,疾得漏盡。」

爾時,會中復有異比丘,鈍根無知,在無明㲉起惡邪見,而作是念:「若無我者,作無我業,于未來世,誰當受報?」爾時,世尊知彼比丘心之所念,告諸比丘:「於此眾中,若有愚癡人,無智明,而作是念:『若色無我,受、想、行、識無我,作無我業,誰當受報?』如是所疑,先以解釋彼

現代漢語譯本 還有人問:『什麼是色的樂味?什麼是色的過患?什麼是色的解脫?什麼是受、想、行、識的樂味?什麼是識的過患?什麼是識的解脫?』 佛告訴比丘們:『因色而生起的喜悅快樂,這叫做色的樂味;如果色是無常的、是苦的、是會變化的,這叫做色的過患;如果對於色調伏慾望貪婪、斷除慾望貪婪、超越慾望貪婪,這叫做色的解脫。如果因受、想、行、識而生起的喜悅快樂,這叫做識的樂味;受、想、行、識是無常的、是苦的、是會變化的,這叫做識的過患;對於受、想、行、識,調伏慾望貪婪、斷除慾望貪婪、超越慾望貪婪,這叫做識的解脫。』 比丘們對佛說:『您說得真好,我們歡喜隨喜。』 又有人問:『世尊!我慢是如何產生的?』 佛告訴比丘們:『愚癡無知的凡夫對於色,認為是我、異於我、或與我相關聯;對於受、想、行、識,認為是我、異於我、或與我相關聯,由此產生我慢。』 比丘們對佛說:『您說得真好,我們歡喜隨喜。』 又有人問:『世尊!如何才能沒有我慢?』 佛告訴比丘們:『博學多聞的聖弟子不認為色是我、異於我、或與我相關聯;不認為受、想、行、識是我、異於我、或與我相關聯。』 比丘們對佛說:『您說得真好,我們還有問題,知道什麼、看到什麼,才能完全斷除煩惱?』 佛告訴比丘們:『所有色,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是好、丑,無論是遠、近,它們都不是我、不異於我、不與我相關聯;受、想、行、識也是如此。比丘們!像這樣知道,像這樣看到,就能迅速斷除煩惱。』 當時,會中還有一位比丘,根性遲鈍,沒有智慧,在無明中生起邪見,心裡想:『如果沒有我,做了無我的業,那麼在未來世,誰來承受果報呢?』當時,世尊知道那位比丘心中所想,告訴眾比丘:『在這大眾中,如果有愚癡的人,沒有智慧,心裡想:『如果色無我,受、想、行、識無我,做了無我的業,誰來承受果報?』對於這樣的疑惑,先要解釋他們。』

English version Furthermore, some asked: 'What is the allure of form? What is the danger of form? What is the liberation from form? What is the allure of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness? What is the danger of consciousness? What is the liberation from consciousness?' The Buddha told the monks: 'The joy and pleasure that arise from form, this is called the allure of form; if form is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, this is called the danger of form; if one subdues desire and craving for form, abandons desire and craving, and transcends desire and craving, this is called the liberation from form. If the joy and pleasure that arise from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, this is called the allure of consciousness; feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, this is called the danger of consciousness; for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, subduing desire and craving, abandoning desire and craving, and transcending desire and craving, this is called the liberation from consciousness.' The monks said to the Buddha: 'Well said, we rejoice and approve.' Again, some asked: 'Venerable Sir, how does conceit arise?' The Buddha told the monks: 'Ignorant and unlearned ordinary people, regarding form, see it as 'I', 'different from I', or 'related to I'; regarding feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, they see it as 'I', 'different from I', or 'related to I', and from this, conceit arises.' The monks said to the Buddha: 'Well said, we rejoice and approve.' Again, some asked: 'Venerable Sir, how does one become free from conceit?' The Buddha told the monks: 'Well-learned noble disciples do not see form as 'I', 'different from I', or 'related to I'; they do not see feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness as 'I', 'different from I', or 'related to I'.' The monks said to the Buddha: 'Well said, we have another question, knowing what, seeing what, does one completely eradicate defilements?' The Buddha told the monks: 'All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether far or near, all of them are not 'I', not different from 'I', and not related to 'I'; feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also the same. Monks! Knowing thus, seeing thus, one quickly eradicates defilements.' At that time, there was another monk in the assembly, dull-witted and ignorant, who, in his ignorance, arose with wrong views, thinking: 'If there is no 'I', and one does 'no-self' actions, then in the future, who will receive the results?' At that time, the World Honored One, knowing the thoughts in that monk's mind, told the monks: 'Among this assembly, if there are foolish people, without wisdom, thinking: 'If form is not 'I', feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are not 'I', and one does 'no-self' actions, who will receive the results?' For such doubts, first explain them.'


。云何比丘!色為常耶?為非常耶?」

答言:「無常。世尊!」

「若無常者,是苦耶?」

答言:「是苦。世尊!」

「若無常、苦,是變易法,多聞聖弟子于中寧見是我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

「受、想、行、識亦復如是。是故,比丘!若所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、非我所。如是見者,是為正見;受、想、行、識亦復如是。多聞聖弟子如是觀者便修厭,厭已離欲,離欲已解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經時,眾多比丘不起諸漏,心得解脫。佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(五九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有五受陰。云何為五?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。觀此五受陰,是生滅法。所謂此色、此色集、此色滅;此受、想、行、識,此識集、此識滅。云何色集?云何色滅?云何受、想、行、識集?云何受、想、行、識滅?愛喜集是色集,愛喜滅是色滅;觸集是受、想、行集,觸滅是受、想、行滅;名色集是識集,名色滅是識滅

現代漢語譯本:『比丘們,』佛陀問道,『色是常住的嗎?還是無常的呢?』 比丘們回答說:『是無常的,世尊!』 『如果無常,那是苦嗎?』 比丘們回答說:『是苦的,世尊!』 『如果無常、是苦、是變易之法,那麼,多聞的聖弟子會認為其中有『我』、『異於我』、或『與我相關』嗎?』 比丘們回答說:『不會的,世尊!』 『受、想、行、識也是如此。因此,比丘們!所有色,無論是過去、未來、現在,內在、外在,粗糙、細微,美好、醜陋,遙遠、臨近,這一切都不是『我』,也不是『我所擁有』。如此見解,才是正見;受、想、行、識也是如此。多聞的聖弟子如此觀察,便會生起厭離,厭離之後便會離欲,離欲之後便會解脫,解脫之後便會生起解脫的知見:『我已不再受生,梵行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有後世。』 佛陀宣說此經時,許多比丘不再有煩惱,心得到解脫。佛陀說完此經后,比丘們聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 五陰、根、陰即是受,二陰相互關聯。 名字、因、二味,我慢、煩惱迅速斷盡。 《雜阿含經》卷第二 大正藏第02冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第三 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (五九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五種受陰。哪五種呢?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。觀察這五種受陰,是生滅之法。所謂此色、此色集、此色滅;此受、想、行、識,此識集、此識滅。什麼是色集?什麼是色滅?什麼是受、想、行、識集?什麼是受、想、行、識滅?愛喜的集起是色集,愛喜的滅盡是色滅;觸的集起是受、想、行集,觸的滅盡是受、想、行滅;名色的集起是識集,名色的滅盡是識滅。』

English version: 'Monks,' the Buddha asked, 'is form permanent or impermanent?' The monks replied, 'It is impermanent, Lord.' 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' The monks replied, 'It is suffering, Lord.' 'If it is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, would a well-taught noble disciple consider it to be 'I,' 'different from I,' or 'related to I'?' The monks replied, 'No, Lord.' 'So it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Therefore, monks! All form, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, beautiful or ugly, far or near, all of it is not 'I' and not 'mine.' Seeing it thus is right view; so it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. A well-taught noble disciple, seeing it thus, develops revulsion, and through revulsion, becomes dispassionate, and through dispassion, is liberated, and in liberation, arises the knowledge of liberation: 'Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to be.' While the Buddha was speaking this discourse, many monks were freed from defilements, and their minds were liberated. After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The five aggregates, the roots, the aggregates are feeling, the two aggregates are interconnected. Name, cause, two tastes, conceit, and defilements are quickly extinguished. The Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 2 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 02, No. 0099, Samyukta Agama Sutra The Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 3 Translated by Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India (59) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, 'There are five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? The aggregate of form, the aggregates of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Observe these five aggregates of clinging, they are subject to arising and ceasing. That is, this form, the arising of this form, the ceasing of this form; this feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, the arising of this consciousness, the ceasing of this consciousness. What is the arising of form? What is the ceasing of form? What is the arising of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness? What is the ceasing of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness? The arising of craving and delight is the arising of form, the ceasing of craving and delight is the ceasing of form; the arising of contact is the arising of feeling, perception, and mental formations, the ceasing of contact is the ceasing of feeling, perception, and mental formations; the arising of name and form is the arising of consciousness, the ceasing of name and form is the ceasing of consciousness.'


。比丘!如是色集、色滅,是為色集、色滅;如是受、想、行、識集,受、想、行、識滅,是為受、想、行、識集,受、想、行、識滅。」

佛說此經已,時諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有五受陰。何等為五?所謂色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。善哉,比丘不樂於色,不讚嘆色,不取於色,不著於色。善哉,比丘不樂於受、想、行、識,不讚嘆識,不取于識,不著于識。所以者何?若比丘不樂於色,不讚嘆色,不取於色,不著於色,則於色不樂,心得解脫。如是受、想、行、識,不樂於識,不讚嘆識,不取于識,不著于識,則于識不樂,心得解脫,若比丘不樂於色,心得解脫。如是受、想、行、識不樂,心得解脫,不滅不生,平等舍住,正念正智。

「彼比丘如是知、如是見者,前際俱見,永盡無餘;前際俱見,永盡無餘已;后際俱見,亦永盡無餘;后際俱見,永盡無餘已;前後際俱見,永盡無餘,無所封著。無所封著者,于諸世間都無所取;無所取者,亦無所求;無所求者,自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,時諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有五受陰。何等為五?謂色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。

「云何色受陰?所有色,彼一切四大,及四大所造色,是名為色受陰

現代漢語譯本:比丘們!色法的生起和滅去是色法的生起和滅去;同樣,感受、思想、行為、意識的生起和滅去是感受、思想、行為、意識的生起和滅去。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (六〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五種受陰。哪五種呢?即色受陰,感受、思想、行為、意識受陰。』善哉,比丘不應貪戀色法,不應讚歎色法,不應執取色法,不應執著色法。善哉,比丘不應貪戀感受、思想、行為、意識,不應讚歎意識,不應執取意識,不應執著意識。為什麼呢?如果比丘不貪戀色法,不讚嘆色法,不執取色法,不執著色法,那麼對於色法就不會有貪戀,心就能解脫。同樣,對於感受、思想、行為、意識,不貪戀意識,不讚嘆意識,不執取意識,不執著意識,那麼對於意識就不會有貪戀,心就能解脫。如果比丘不貪戀色法,心就能解脫。同樣,對於感受、思想、行為、意識不貪戀,心就能解脫,不生不滅,平等安住,正念正知。 『當比丘如此知、如此見時,對於過去的一切見解,都將永遠斷盡,不再殘留;對於過去的一切見解,都已永遠斷盡之後;對於未來的一切見解,也將永遠斷盡,不再殘留;對於未來的一切見解,都已永遠斷盡之後;對於過去和未來的一切見解,都將永遠斷盡,不再有任何執著。』沒有執著的人,對於世間的一切都無所求取;沒有求取的人,也無所追求;沒有追求的人,就能自覺涅槃:『我的生命已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來生。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (六一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五種受陰。哪五種呢?即色受陰,感受、思想、行為、意識受陰。』 『什麼是色受陰呢?所有色法,都是四大元素以及四大元素所造的色法,這被稱為色受陰。』

English version: Monks! The arising of form, the passing away of form, this is the arising and passing away of form; likewise, the arising of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, and the passing away of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, this is the arising and passing away of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and practiced accordingly. (60) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'There are five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? They are the aggregate of form, the aggregate of feeling, the aggregate of perception, the aggregate of mental formations, and the aggregate of consciousness. It is good, monks, not to delight in form, not to praise form, not to grasp at form, not to be attached to form. It is good, monks, not to delight in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, not to praise consciousness, not to grasp at consciousness, not to be attached to consciousness. Why is that? If a monk does not delight in form, does not praise form, does not grasp at form, does not attach to form, then he is not delighted by form, and his mind is liberated. Likewise, with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, if he does not delight in consciousness, does not praise consciousness, does not grasp at consciousness, does not attach to consciousness, then he is not delighted by consciousness, and his mind is liberated. If a monk does not delight in form, his mind is liberated. Likewise, if he does not delight in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, his mind is liberated, without arising or passing away, dwelling in equanimity, with right mindfulness and right wisdom.' 'When a monk knows and sees in this way, all views of the past are completely abandoned, with nothing remaining; having completely abandoned all views of the past, with nothing remaining; all views of the future are also completely abandoned, with nothing remaining; having completely abandoned all views of the future, with nothing remaining; all views of the past and future are completely abandoned, with no attachment. One who has no attachment, takes nothing in the world; one who takes nothing, seeks nothing; one who seeks nothing, realizes Nirvana for himself: 「Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being.」' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and practiced accordingly. (61) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'There are five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? They are the aggregate of form, the aggregate of feeling, the aggregate of perception, the aggregate of mental formations, and the aggregate of consciousness.' 'What is the aggregate of form? All form, that is, the four great elements and the form derived from the four great elements, this is called the aggregate of form.'


。複次,彼色是無常、苦、變易之法。若彼色受陰,永斷無餘,究竟舍離、滅盡、離欲、寂、沒,余色受陰更不相續、不起、不出,是名為妙,是名寂靜,是名舍離一切有餘愛盡、無慾、滅盡、涅槃。

If this form aggregate is completely and utterly cut off, abandoned, extinguished, detached, pacified, and ceased, and no further form aggregate arises, continues, or appears, this is called excellent, this is called peaceful, this is called the abandonment of all remaining craving, the absence of desire, extinction, and Nirvana. 'What is the feeling aggregate?' It refers to the six bodies of feeling. What are the six? They are the feeling born of eye contact, and the feeling born of ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind contact. This is called the feeling aggregate. Furthermore, this feeling aggregate is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, leading to extinction and Nirvana. 'What is the perception aggregate?' It refers to the six bodies of perception. What are the six? They are the perception born of eye contact, and the perception born of ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind contact. This is called the perception aggregate. Furthermore, this perception aggregate is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, leading to extinction and Nirvana. 'What is the mental formations aggregate?' It refers to the six bodies of intention. What are the six? They are the intention born of eye contact, and the intention born of ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind contact. This is called the mental formations aggregate. Furthermore, this mental formations aggregate is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, leading to extinction and Nirvana. 'What is the consciousness aggregate?' It refers to the six bodies of consciousness. What are the six? They are the body of eye consciousness, and the body of ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind consciousness. This is called the consciousness aggregate. Furthermore, this consciousness aggregate is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, leading to extinction and Nirvana. 'Monks! If one contemplates, observes, discerns, and accepts this teaching with wisdom, this is called a follower of faith; transcending and rising above, going beyond the realm of ordinary people, though not yet having attained the fruit of Stream-entry, one will not die in between and will surely attain the fruit of Stream-entry.' 'Monks! If one contemplates, observes, and accepts this teaching with superior wisdom, this is called a follower of the Dharma; transcending and rising above, going beyond the realm of ordinary people, though not yet having attained the fruit of Stream-entry, one will not die in between and will surely attain the fruit of Stream-entry.' 'Monks! When one sees this teaching with true and correct wisdom, the three fetters are completely cut off, namely, self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, and doubt. Monks! This is called the fruit of Stream-entry, one will not fall into evil realms, will surely proceed towards enlightenment, will be reborn among gods and humans seven times, and then ultimately reach the end of suffering.' 'Monks! If one sees this teaching with true and correct wisdom, and no defilements of mind arise, this is called an Arhat, the defilements are exhausted, what needed to be done is done, the burden is laid down, one has attained one's own benefit, all fetters are destroyed, and the mind is liberated through right knowledge.'

English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There are five aggregates of clinging, namely the aggregate of form, the aggregates of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Ignorant, unlearned ordinary people, lacking wisdom and understanding, develop a view of 'self' regarding these five aggregates, clinging to them, causing their minds to be bound and giving rise to desire. Monks! Learned noble disciples, possessing wisdom and understanding, do not develop a view of 'self' regarding these five aggregates, do not allow their minds to be bound, and do not give rise to desire.' English version: 'How do ignorant, unlearned ordinary people, lacking wisdom and understanding, develop a view of 'self' regarding the five aggregates, clinging to them, causing their minds to be bound and giving rise to desire? Monks! Ignorant, unlearned ordinary people, lacking wisdom and understanding, see form as 'I', or as different from 'I', or as existing within 'I'. Likewise, they see feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness as 'I', or as different from 'I', or as existing within 'I'. In this way, ignorant, unlearned ordinary people, lacking wisdom and understanding, cling to the view of 'self' regarding the five aggregates, causing their minds to be bound and giving rise to desire.'

。何等為五?諸沙門、婆羅門於色見是我、異我、相在;如是受、想、行、識,見是我、異我、相在。如是愚癡無聞凡夫,計我、無明、分別如是觀,不離我所;不離我所者,入于諸根;入于諸根已,而生於觸;六觸入所觸,愚癡無聞凡夫生苦樂,從是生此等及余。謂六觸身,云何為六?謂眼觸入處,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處。比丘!有意界、法界、無明界,無明觸所觸。愚癡無聞凡夫言有、言無、言有無、言非有非無、言我最勝、言我相似,我知、我見。

「複次,比丘!多聞聖弟子住六觸入處,而能厭離無明,能生於明。彼于無明離欲而生於明,不有、不無、非有無、非不有無、非有我勝、非有我劣、非有我相似,我知、我見。作如是知、如是見已,所起前無明觸滅,后明觸集起。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國東園鹿子母講堂。

爾時,世尊晡時從禪起,出講堂,于堂陰中大眾前,敷座而坐。爾時,世尊嘆優陀那偈:

「法無有吾我,  亦復無我所;  我既非當有,  我所何由生?  比丘解脫此,  則斷下分結。」

時,有一比丘從座起,偏袒右肩,右膝著地,合掌白佛言:「世尊!云何『無吾我,亦無有我所;我既非當有,我所何由生?比丘解脫此,則斷下分結。』?」

佛告比丘:「愚癡無聞凡夫計色是我、異我、相在;受、想、行、識,是我、異我、相在

什麼是五種執著呢?就是那些沙門和婆羅門,他們認為色蘊是我,或者與我不同,或者存在於我之中;同樣地,他們認為受蘊、想蘊、行蘊、識蘊是我,或者與我不同,或者存在於我之中。像這樣愚癡無知的凡夫,執著於我,由於無明,分別地觀察這些,不離開我所執著;不離開我所執著的人,就會進入諸根;進入諸根后,就會產生觸;六觸入所觸,愚癡無知的凡夫就會產生苦樂,由此產生這些以及其他的感受。所謂的六觸身,什麼是六呢?就是眼觸入處,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處。比丘們!有意界、法界、無明界,被無明觸所觸。愚癡無知的凡夫會說有、說無、說有無、說非有非無、說我最殊勝、說我相似,我知、我見。 再者,比丘們!多聞的聖弟子安住於六觸入處,能夠厭離無明,能夠生起智慧。他們由於對無明的離欲而生起智慧,不認為有、不認為無、不認為既有又無、不認為非有非無、不認為我殊勝、不認為我卑劣、不認為我相似,我知、我見。像這樣知、像這樣見之後,先前由無明觸所引起的感受就滅盡,而由智慧觸所引起的感受就生起。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (六四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國東園的鹿子母講堂。 那時,世尊在傍晚時分從禪定中起身,走出講堂,在講堂的陰涼處,于大眾面前鋪設座位坐下。那時,世尊讚歎優陀那偈: 『法中沒有我,也沒有我所;既然我不是當有的,我所又怎麼會產生呢?比丘如果能解脫這些,就能斷除下分結。』 當時,有一位比丘從座位上起身,袒露右肩,右膝著地,合掌向佛陀說道:『世尊!什麼是「沒有我,也沒有我所;既然我不是當有的,我所又怎麼會產生呢?比丘如果能解脫這些,就能斷除下分結」?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『愚癡無知的凡夫認為色蘊是我,或者與我不同,或者存在於我之中;受蘊、想蘊、行蘊、識蘊,是我,或者與我不同,或者存在於我之中。』

What are the five? It is when those ascetics and Brahmins view form as 'I,' 'different from I,' or 'existing within I'; similarly, they view feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness as 'I,' 'different from I,' or 'existing within I.' Thus, foolish, unlearned ordinary people, clinging to 'I,' due to ignorance, observe these things discriminatively, not departing from what is clung to as 'mine'; those who do not depart from what is clung to as 'mine' enter into the sense bases; having entered into the sense bases, contact arises; through the contact of the six sense bases, foolish, unlearned ordinary people experience pleasure and pain, and from this arise these and other feelings. The so-called six bodies of contact, what are the six? They are the eye-contact base, the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind-contact bases. Monks! There are the mind-element, the dharma-element, and the ignorance-element, which are touched by the contact of ignorance. Foolish, unlearned ordinary people say 'there is,' 'there is not,' 'there is and there is not,' 'there is neither nor is not,' 'I am the most superior,' 'I am similar,' 'I know,' 'I see.' Furthermore, monks! A well-learned noble disciple, dwelling in the six sense bases, is able to become disenchanted with ignorance and able to give rise to wisdom. Through the dispassion for ignorance, they give rise to wisdom, not thinking 'there is,' 'there is not,' 'there is and there is not,' 'there is neither nor is not,' 'I am superior,' 'I am inferior,' 'I am similar,' 'I know,' 'I see.' Having known and seen in this way, the previous contact arising from ignorance ceases, and the contact arising from wisdom arises. Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. (64) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at the Eastern Garden in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One, in the late afternoon, arose from meditation, went out of the lecture hall, and sat down on a seat prepared in the shade of the hall, in front of the assembly. Then, the Blessed One uttered this verse of Udana: 'There is no self in the Dharma, nor is there anything belonging to self; since self is not to be, how can anything belonging to self arise? A monk who is liberated from this, cuts off the lower fetters.' Then, a certain monk rose from his seat, arranged his upper robe over one shoulder, knelt on his right knee, and, with his palms together, said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, what is meant by 「There is no self, nor is there anything belonging to self; since self is not to be, how can anything belonging to self arise? A monk who is liberated from this, cuts off the lower fetters」?' The Buddha said to the monk: 'Foolish, unlearned ordinary people consider form to be 'I,' 'different from I,' or 'existing within I'; feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness to be 'I,' 'different from I,' or 'existing within I.'


。多聞聖弟子不見色是我、異我、相在,不見受、想、行、識,是我、異我、相在;亦非知者,亦非見者。此色是無常,受、想、行、識是無常;色是苦,受、想、行、識是苦;色是無我,受、想、行、識是無我;此色非當有,受、想、行、識非當有;此色壞有,受、想、行、識壞有;故非我、非我所,我、我所非當有。如是解脫者,則斷五下分結。」

時,彼比丘白佛言:「世尊!斷五下分結已,云何漏盡,無漏心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』?」

佛告比丘:「愚癡凡夫、無聞眾生於無畏處而生恐畏。愚癡凡夫、無聞眾生怖畏

無我、無我所,  二俱非當生, 攀緣四識住。何等為四?謂色識住,色攀緣、色愛樂、增進廣大生長;于受、想、行識住,攀緣、愛樂、增進廣大生長。比丘!識於此處,若來、若去、若住、若起、若滅,增進廣大生長。若作是說:『更有異法,識若來、若去、若住、若起、若滅、若增進廣大生長。』者,但有言說,問已不知,增益生癡,以非境界故。所以者何?比丘!離色界貪已,於色意生縛亦斷,於色意生縛斷已,識攀緣亦斷;識不復住,無復增進廣大生長,受、想、行界離貪已,于受、想、行意生縛亦斷。受、想、行意生縛斷已,攀緣亦斷,識無所住,無復增進廣大生長

現代漢語譯本:多聞的聖弟子不會認為色是『我』、『異於我』或『存在於我之中』,也不會認為受、想、行、識是『我』、『異於我』或『存在於我之中』;他們不認為這些是知者,也不認為這些是見者。這色是無常的,受、想、行、識也是無常的;色是苦的,受、想、行、識也是苦的;色是無我的,受、想、行、識也是無我的;這色不是應當存在的,受、想、行、識也不是應當存在的;這色是會壞滅的,受、想、行、識也是會壞滅的;因此,它們不是『我』,也不是『我所擁有』,『我』和『我所擁有』都不是應當存在的。像這樣解脫的人,就斷除了五下分結。 當時,那位比丘對佛說:『世尊!斷除了五下分結后,如何才能漏盡,達到無漏的心解脫和慧解脫,在現世親自證悟並安住于「我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有」的狀態呢?』 佛告訴比丘:『愚癡的凡夫、沒有聽聞佛法的眾生,在不應該恐懼的地方產生恐懼。愚癡的凡夫、沒有聽聞佛法的眾生,會害怕無我、無我所,這二者都不是應當存在的,他們會攀緣於四種識的住處。哪四種呢?就是色識住,他們攀緣色,愛樂色,並使之增長廣大;以及受、想、行識住,他們攀緣、愛樂並使之增長廣大。比丘!識在這些地方,無論是來、去、住、起、滅,都會增長廣大。如果有人說:「還有其他法,識會來、去、住、起、滅、增長廣大。」,那只是說說而已,問他之後他也不知道,只會增加愚癡,因為那不是真實的境界。為什麼呢?比丘!當一個人離貪之後,對於色的意生縛也會斷除,對於色的意生縛斷除之後,識的攀緣也會斷除;識不再住留,也不會再增長廣大。對於受、想、行界離貪之後,對於受、想、行的意生縛也會斷除。受、想、行的意生縛斷除之後,攀緣也會斷除,識無所住,也不會再增長廣大。』

English version: A well-instructed noble disciple does not regard form as 'I,' 'belonging to I,' or 'existing within I,' nor does he regard feeling, perception, mental formations, or consciousness as 'I,' 'belonging to I,' or 'existing within I'; they do not consider these to be knowers, nor do they consider these to be seers. This form is impermanent, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also impermanent; form is suffering, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also suffering; form is without self, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also without self; this form is not something that should exist, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are not something that should exist; this form is subject to decay, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also subject to decay; therefore, they are not 'I,' nor 'belonging to I,' and 'I' and 'belonging to I' are not something that should exist. One who is liberated in this way has cut off the five lower fetters. Then, that bhikkhu said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, having cut off the five lower fetters, how does one attain the exhaustion of the taints, the taintless liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom, realizing for oneself in this very life and abiding in the state: 「Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being」?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'Foolish ordinary people, uninstructed beings, experience fear in places where there is no cause for fear. Foolish ordinary people, uninstructed beings, are afraid of no-self and no-belonging-to-self, neither of which should exist, and they cling to the four abodes of consciousness. What are the four? They are the abode of consciousness in form, where they cling to form, delight in form, and cause it to grow and expand; and the abodes of consciousness in feeling, perception, and mental formations, where they cling to, delight in, and cause them to grow and expand. Bhikkhu, consciousness in these places, whether it comes, goes, stays, arises, or ceases, grows and expands. If someone were to say, 「There is another phenomenon, where consciousness comes, goes, stays, arises, ceases, and grows and expands,」 that would be mere talk, and when questioned, they would not know, and would only increase their ignorance, because it is not a real realm. Why is that? Bhikkhu, when one is free from greed, the bondage of the mind to form is also cut off, and when the bondage of the mind to form is cut off, the clinging of consciousness is also cut off; consciousness no longer abides, and no longer grows and expands. When one is free from greed for the realms of feeling, perception, and mental formations, the bondage of the mind to feeling, perception, and mental formations is also cut off. When the bondage of the mind to feeling, perception, and mental formations is cut off, clinging is also cut off, consciousness has no abode, and no longer grows and expands.'


。識無所住故不增長,不增長故無所為作,無所為作故則住,住故知足,知足故解脫,解脫故於諸世間都無所取,無所取故無所著,無所著故自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』比丘!我說識不住東方、南、西、北方、四維、上、下,除欲見法,涅槃、滅盡、寂靜、清涼。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

生滅以不樂  及三種分別  貪著等觀察  是名優陀那

(六五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「常當修習方便禪思,內寂其心。所以者何?比丘常當修習方便禪思,內寂其心,如實觀察。云何如實觀察?此是色、此是色集、此是色滅;此是受、想、行、識,此是識集、此是識滅。

「云何色集,受、想、行、識集?愚癡無聞凡夫于苦、樂、不苦不樂受,不如實觀察;此受集、受滅、受味、受患、受離不如實觀察故,于受樂著生取,取緣有,有緣生,生緣老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如是純大苦聚從集而生,是名色集,是名受、想、行、識集。

「云何色滅,受、想、行、識滅?多聞聖弟子受諸苦、樂、不苦不樂受,如實觀察,受集、受滅、受味、受患、受離如實觀察故,于受樂著滅,著滅故取滅,取滅故有滅,有滅故生滅,生滅故老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,如是純大苦聚皆悉得滅,是名色滅,受、想、行、識滅。

「是故,比丘!常當修習方便禪思,內寂其心。比丘!禪思住,內寂其心,精勤方便,如實觀察

現代漢語譯本:因為意識沒有固定的住所,所以不會增長;不增長,所以沒有造作;沒有造作,所以安住;安住,所以知足;知足,所以解脫;解脫,所以在世間沒有任何執取;沒有執取,所以沒有執著;沒有執著,所以自覺涅槃:『我的生命已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來生。』比丘們!我說意識不住在東方、南方、西方、北方、四維、上方、下方,除非是爲了見到法,涅槃、滅盡、寂靜、清涼。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 對生滅不執著,以及三種分別,貪著等觀察,這稱為優陀那。 (六五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當經常修習方便禪思,使內心寂靜。為什麼呢?比丘應當經常修習方便禪思,使內心寂靜,如實地觀察。如何如實觀察呢?這是色,這是色集,這是色滅;這是受、想、行、識,這是識集,這是識滅。』 『什麼是色集,受、想、行、識集呢?愚癡無聞的凡夫對於苦、樂、不苦不樂的感受,不能如實地觀察;對於感受的生起、感受的滅去、感受的樂味、感受的過患、感受的解脫不能如實地觀察,因此對於感受產生貪愛執著,因為執著而有存在,因為存在而有出生,因為出生而有衰老、疾病、死亡、憂愁、悲傷、痛苦。這樣,純粹的大苦聚集結而生,這稱為色集,稱為受、想、行、識集。』 『什麼是色滅,受、想、行、識滅呢?多聞的聖弟子對於苦、樂、不苦不樂的感受,如實地觀察,對於感受的生起、感受的滅去、感受的樂味、感受的過患、感受的解脫如實地觀察,因此對於感受的貪愛執著滅除,執著滅除,所以取滅,取滅所以有滅,有滅所以生滅,生滅所以衰老、疾病、死亡、憂愁、悲傷、痛苦滅除,這樣,純粹的大苦聚集結都得以滅除,這稱為色滅,受、想、行、識滅。』 『因此,比丘們!應當經常修習方便禪思,使內心寂靜。比丘們!禪思安住,內心寂靜,精勤方便,如實地觀察。』

English version: Because consciousness has no fixed abode, it does not grow; not growing, it has no actions; having no actions, it abides; abiding, it is content; content, it is liberated; liberated, it has no attachment in all the worlds; having no attachment, it has no clinging; having no clinging, it realizes Nirvana: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, I know that there is no more rebirth.』 Monks! I say that consciousness does not abide in the east, south, west, north, the four intermediate directions, above, or below, except for the purpose of seeing the Dharma, Nirvana, cessation, tranquility, and coolness. After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. Not delighting in arising and ceasing, and the three kinds of distinctions, observing attachment and so on, this is called Udana. (65) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks: 『You should always practice skillful meditation, making your minds tranquil. Why is that? Monks should always practice skillful meditation, making their minds tranquil, and observe truthfully. How does one observe truthfully? This is form, this is the arising of form, this is the cessation of form; this is feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness, this is the arising of consciousness, this is the cessation of consciousness.』 『What is the arising of form, feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness? Ignorant, unlearned ordinary people do not observe truthfully the feelings of pain, pleasure, and neither-pain-nor-pleasure; because they do not observe truthfully the arising of feeling, the cessation of feeling, the gratification of feeling, the danger of feeling, and the escape from feeling, they develop craving and attachment to feeling, and because of attachment there is existence, because of existence there is birth, because of birth there is old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, and suffering. Thus, a great mass of pure suffering arises from aggregation, this is called the arising of form, this is called the arising of feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness.』 『What is the cessation of form, feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness? Well-learned noble disciples observe truthfully the feelings of pain, pleasure, and neither-pain-nor-pleasure; because they observe truthfully the arising of feeling, the cessation of feeling, the gratification of feeling, the danger of feeling, and the escape from feeling, the craving and attachment to feeling cease, with the cessation of attachment, there is the cessation of grasping, with the cessation of grasping, there is the cessation of existence, with the cessation of existence, there is the cessation of birth, with the cessation of birth, there is the cessation of old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, and suffering. Thus, the entire great mass of pure suffering is extinguished, this is called the cessation of form, feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness.』 『Therefore, monks! You should always practice skillful meditation, making your minds tranquil. Monks! Abiding in meditation, making your minds tranquil, diligently and skillfully, observe truthfully.』

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如觀察,如是分別、種種分別、知、廣知、種種知、親近、親近修習、入、觸、證二經,亦如是廣說。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「常當修習方便禪思,內寂其心。所以者何?修習方便禪思,內寂其心已,如實觀察。云何如實觀察?如實觀察此色、此色集、此色滅,此受、想、行、識,此識集、此識滅。

「云何色集?云何受、想、行、識集?比丘!愚癡無聞凡夫不如實觀察色集、色味、色患、色離故,樂彼色,讚歎愛著,于未來世色復生。」受、想、行、識亦如是廣說。「彼色生,受、想、行、識生已,不解脫於色,不解脫于受、想、行、識。我說彼不解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,純大苦聚,是名色集,受、想、行、識集。

「云何色滅,受、想、行、識滅?多聞聖弟子如實觀察色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離,如實知。如實知故,不樂於色,不讚嘆色,不樂著色,亦不生未來色。」受、想、行、識亦如是廣說。「色不生,受、想、行、識不生故,於色得解脫,于受、想、行、識得解脫。我說彼解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦聚,是名色滅,受、想、行、識滅。

「是故,比丘!常當修習方便禪思,內寂其心,精勤方便,如實觀察。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如觀察,如是乃至作證十二經,亦應廣說

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 如同觀察一樣,像這樣分別、種種分別、知、廣知、種種知、親近、親近修習、入、觸、證這二部經,也應如此廣泛地解說。 (六六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當經常修習方便禪思,使內心寂靜。為什麼呢?修習方便禪思,使內心寂靜后,就能如實地觀察。如何如實觀察呢?如實觀察這色、這色集、這色滅,這受、想、行、識,這識集、這識滅。』 『什麼是色集?什麼是受、想、行、識集?比丘們!愚癡無聞的凡夫不能如實觀察色集、色味、色患、色離,因此貪戀那色,讚歎愛著,在未來世又會再生色。』受、想、行、識也應如此廣泛地解說。『那色生,受、想、行、識生起后,不能從色中解脫,不能從受、想、行、識中解脫。我說他們不能解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,純粹的大苦聚集,這就是色集,受、想、行、識集。』 『什麼是色滅,受、想、行、識滅?多聞的聖弟子如實觀察色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離,如實地知道。如實知道后,就不貪戀色,不讚嘆色,不執著色,也不會再生未來的色。』受、想、行、識也應如此廣泛地解說。『色不生,受、想、行、識不生,就能從色中解脫,從受、想、行、識中解脫。我說他們解脫了生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦的聚集,這就是色滅,受、想、行、識滅。』 『因此,比丘們!應當經常修習方便禪思,使內心寂靜,精勤方便,如實觀察。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 如同觀察一樣,像這樣乃至作證十二部經,也應廣泛地解說。

English version After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. Just as with observation, so too with distinguishing, various distinguishing, knowing, broad knowing, various knowing, approaching, approaching practice, entering, touching, and realizing these two sutras, it should be extensively explained. (66) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'You should always practice skillful meditative reflection, making your minds internally tranquil. Why is that? Having practiced skillful meditative reflection and made your minds internally tranquil, you will observe things as they truly are. How do you observe things as they truly are? You observe as they truly are this form, the arising of this form, the cessation of this form, this feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, the arising of this consciousness, and the cessation of this consciousness.' 'What is the arising of form? What is the arising of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness? Bhikkhus! An ignorant, unlearned ordinary person does not truly observe the arising of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form. Therefore, they delight in that form, praise it, and are attached to it, and in the future, form will arise again.' Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness should also be extensively explained in this way. 'When that form arises, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness arise, they are not liberated from form, nor are they liberated from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. I say that they are not liberated from birth, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair, a pure mass of great suffering. This is called the arising of form, the arising of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' 'What is the cessation of form, the cessation of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness? A learned noble disciple truly observes the arising of form, the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form, and truly knows it. Having truly known it, they do not delight in form, do not praise form, are not attached to form, and future form will not arise.' Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness should also be extensively explained in this way. 'When form does not arise, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness do not arise, they are liberated from form, and liberated from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. I say that they are liberated from the mass of birth, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair. This is called the cessation of form, the cessation of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' 'Therefore, bhikkhus! You should always practice skillful meditative reflection, making your minds internally tranquil, diligently applying effort, and observing things as they truly are.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. Just as with observation, so too with the twelve sutras up to realization, it should be extensively explained.

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「常當修習方便禪思,內寂其心。所以者何?比丘!修習方便禪思,內寂其心已,如實觀察。云何如實觀察?如實知此色、此色集、此色滅;此受、想、行、識,此識集、此識滅。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 (六七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『應當經常修習方便禪思,使內心寂靜。為什麼呢?比丘們!修習方便禪思,內心寂靜之後,就能如實地觀察。如何如實觀察呢?如實地知道這個色,這個色的生起,這個色的滅亡;這個受、想、行、識,這個識的生起,這個識的滅亡。』 『什麼是色集,受、想、行、識集呢?愚癡無知的凡夫不能如實地知道色的生起、色的滅亡、色的滋味、色的禍患、色的離散。因為不能如實地知道,所以貪戀執著於色,讚歎色;因為貪戀執著於色,讚歎色,所以產生取;取緣于有,有緣于生,生緣于老、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。這樣,純粹的大苦聚集產生,這就是色集,受、想、行、識集。』 『什麼是色滅,受、想、行、識滅呢?多聞的聖弟子如實地知道色的生起、色的滅亡、色的滋味、色的禍患、色的離散。因為如實地知道,所以不貪戀執著於色,不讚嘆色;因為不貪戀執著、不讚嘆色,所以愛樂滅;愛樂滅所以取滅,取滅所以有滅,有滅所以生滅,生滅所以老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,這樣,純粹的大苦聚集滅亡。多聞的聖弟子如何如實地知道受、想、行、識呢?如實地知道識的生起、識的滅亡、識的滋味、識的禍患、識的離散?因為知道這些,所以不貪戀執著于識,不讚嘆識;因為不貪戀執著、不讚嘆識,所以愛樂滅;愛樂滅所以取滅,取滅所以有滅,有滅所以生滅,生滅所以老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,這樣,純粹的大苦聚集滅亡,都能夠滅亡。比丘們!這就是色滅,受、想、行、識滅。』 『比丘們!應當經常修習方便禪思,使內心寂靜。』 佛說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛所說的,歡喜地奉行。 如觀察,乃至作證十二部經,也像這樣廣泛地解說。 (六八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

You truly know this form, the arising of this form, the cessation of this form; this feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, the arising of this consciousness, the cessation of this consciousness.' 'What is the arising of form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness? Ignorant, unlearned ordinary people do not truly know the arising of form, the cessation of form, the allure of form, the danger of form, the escape from form. Because they do not truly know, they are attached to form, they praise form; because they are attached to form and praise form, they grasp; grasping conditions existence, existence conditions birth, birth conditions old age, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress. Thus, a great mass of pure suffering arises. This is called the arising of form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' 'What is the cessation of form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness? A well-learned noble disciple truly knows the arising of form, the cessation of form, the allure of form, the danger of form, the escape from form. Because they truly know, they are not attached to form, they do not praise form; because they are not attached to and do not praise form, craving ceases; when craving ceases, grasping ceases; when grasping ceases, existence ceases; when existence ceases, birth ceases; when birth ceases, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress cease. Thus, a great mass of pure suffering ceases. How does a well-learned noble disciple truly know feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness? How do they truly know the arising of consciousness, the cessation of consciousness, the allure of consciousness, the danger of consciousness, the escape from consciousness? Because they know these, they are not attached to consciousness, they do not praise consciousness; because they are not attached to and do not praise consciousness, craving ceases; when craving ceases, grasping ceases; when grasping ceases, existence ceases; when existence ceases, birth ceases; when birth ceases, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress cease. Thus, a great mass of pure suffering ceases, and all are able to cease. Monks! This is called the cessation of form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' 'Monks! You should always practice skillful meditative contemplation, making your minds internally tranquil.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. Like the observation, and up to the twelve discourses on realization, it is also explained extensively in this way.

受與生及樂  亦說六入處  一一十二種  禪定三昧經

(六九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說有身集趣道及有身集滅道。云何有身集趣道?愚癡無聞凡夫,見不如實知色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離。不如實知故,樂色、嘆色、著色、住色;樂色、嘆色、著色、住色故,愛樂取;緣取有,緣有生,緣生、老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱。如是純大苦聚生。如是受、想、行、識廣說,是名有身集趣道。比丘!有身集趣道,當知即是苦集趣道

現代漢語譯本: 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當經常修習方便禪思,使內心寂靜,如實地觀察。如何如實觀察呢?如實地知道這個色,這個色的生起,這個色的滅去;這個受、想、行、識,這個識的生起,這個識的滅去。』 『什麼是色的生起,受、想、行、識的生起呢?以眼和色為緣,產生眼識,三者和合產生觸,以觸為緣產生受,以受為緣產生愛,乃至純粹的大苦聚集產生,這叫做色的生起。同樣,以耳、鼻、舌、身、意為緣,以意和法為緣產生意識,三者和合產生觸,以觸為緣產生受,以受為緣產生愛。這樣乃至純粹的大苦聚集產生,這叫做色的生起,受、想、行、識的生起。』 『什麼是色的滅去,受、想、行、識的滅去呢?以眼乃至色和眼識為緣產生,三者和合產生觸,觸滅則受滅,乃至純粹的大苦聚集滅去。同樣,以耳、鼻、舌、身、意為緣,以意和法為緣產生意識,三者和合產生觸,觸滅則受滅、愛滅,乃至純粹的大苦聚集滅去,這叫做色的滅去,受、想、行、識的滅去。』 『因此,比丘們!應當經常修習方便禪思,使內心寂靜。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 像這樣觀察,乃至作證十二部經,也像這樣廣泛地解說。 受與生及樂,也說了六入處,一一十二種,禪定三昧經。 (六九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在當說有身集起的道路以及有身集滅的道路。什麼是有身集起的道路呢?愚癡無知的凡夫,不能如實地知道色的生起、色的滅去、色的滋味、色的過患、色的離去。因為不能如實地知道,所以貪愛色、讚歎色、執著色、安住於色;因為貪愛色、讚歎色、執著色、安住於色,所以愛樂取;以取為緣產生有,以有為緣產生生,以生為緣產生老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱。這樣純粹的大苦聚集產生。像這樣受、想、行、識也廣泛地解說,這叫做有身集起的道路。比丘們!有身集起的道路,應當知道就是苦集起的道路。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'You should always practice skillful meditative contemplation, quiet your minds internally, and observe truthfully. How does one observe truthfully? Truthfully know this form, the arising of this form, the cessation of this form; this feeling, perception, mental formations, consciousness, the arising of this consciousness, the cessation of this consciousness.' 'What is the arising of form, the arising of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness? Conditioned by the eye and forms, eye-consciousness arises; the coming together of these three gives rise to contact; conditioned by contact, feeling arises; conditioned by feeling, craving arises, and so on, until the arising of a whole mass of suffering. This is called the arising of form. Likewise, conditioned by the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, and conditioned by the mind and mental objects, mind-consciousness arises; the coming together of these three gives rise to contact; conditioned by contact, feeling arises; conditioned by feeling, craving arises. And so on, until the arising of a whole mass of suffering. This is called the arising of form, the arising of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' 'What is the cessation of form, the cessation of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness? Conditioned by the eye, and so on, and eye-consciousness, the coming together of these three gives rise to contact; with the cessation of contact, feeling ceases, and so on, until the cessation of a whole mass of suffering. Likewise, conditioned by the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, and conditioned by the mind and mental objects, mind-consciousness arises; the coming together of these three gives rise to contact; with the cessation of contact, feeling and craving cease, and so on, until the cessation of a whole mass of suffering. This is called the cessation of form, the cessation of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' 'Therefore, bhikkhus! You should always practice skillful meditative contemplation, and quiet your minds internally.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Like this observation, and so on, up to the twelve sutras of realization, are also explained in this way extensively. Feeling and birth and pleasure, also the six sense bases are spoken of, each of the twelve kinds, the sutra of meditative concentration and samadhi. (69) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'I will now speak about the path leading to the arising of the self and the path leading to the cessation of the arising of the self. What is the path leading to the arising of the self? An ignorant, unlearned ordinary person does not truly know the arising of form, the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form. Because they do not truly know, they are attached to form, praise form, cling to form, and dwell in form; because they are attached to form, praise form, cling to form, and dwell in form, they love and grasp; conditioned by grasping, existence arises; conditioned by existence, birth arises; conditioned by birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress arise. Thus, a whole mass of suffering arises. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are explained extensively. This is called the path leading to the arising of the self. Bhikkhus! The path leading to the arising of the self, you should know, is the path leading to the arising of suffering.'


「云何有身集滅道?多聞聖弟子如實知色、色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離。如實知故,於色不樂、不嘆、不著、不住;不樂、不嘆、不著、不住故,彼色愛樂滅;愛樂滅則取滅,取滅則有滅,有滅則生滅,生滅則老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱,純大苦聚滅。如色,受、想、行、識亦如是,是名有身滅道跡。有身滅道跡,則是苦滅道跡,是故說有身滅道跡。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如當說,有及當知,亦如是說。

(七〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說有身苦邊、有身集邊、有身滅邊。諦聽,善思念之,當爲汝說。云何有身苦邊?謂五受陰。云何為五?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰,是名有身苦邊。云何有身集邊?謂受,當來有愛、貪、喜俱,彼彼樂著,是名有身集邊。云何有身滅邊?即此受,當來有愛、貪、喜俱,彼彼樂著無餘斷、吐、盡、離欲、滅、寂、沒,是名有身滅邊。是故當說有身苦邊、有身集邊、有身滅邊。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如當說,有及當知,亦如是說。

(七一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說有身、有身集、有身滅、有身滅道跡。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。云何有身?謂五受陰。云何為五?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰,是名有身。云何有身集?當來有愛,貪、喜俱,彼彼染著,是名有身集

現代漢語譯本: 『什麼是身集滅之道?』多聞的聖弟子如實地知曉色的生起、色的滅去、色的樂味、色的過患、色的離散。因為如實知曉,所以對色不貪戀、不讚嘆、不執著、不住留;因為不貪戀、不讚嘆、不執著、不住留,所以對色的愛慾滅盡;愛慾滅盡則執取滅盡,執取滅盡則有滅盡,有滅盡則生滅盡,生滅滅盡則老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱,純粹的大苦聚集滅盡。如同色一樣,受、想、行、識也是如此,這稱為身滅之道跡。身滅之道跡,也就是苦滅之道跡,所以說身滅之道跡。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 如同應當說的那樣,有和應當知道的,也應當這樣說。

(七〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說有身苦的邊際、有身集的邊際、有身滅的邊際。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。什麼是身苦的邊際?就是五受陰。什麼是五?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰,這稱為身苦的邊際。什麼是身集的邊際?就是受,當來有愛、貪、喜相伴,對種種事物樂於執著,這稱為身集的邊際。什麼是身滅的邊際?就是這受,當來有愛、貪、喜相伴,對種種事物樂於執著完全斷除、捨棄、滅盡、離欲、寂滅、消沒,這稱為身滅的邊際。所以應當說身苦的邊際、身集的邊際、身滅的邊際。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 如同應當說的那樣,有和應當知道的,也應當這樣說。

English version: 'What is the path of the arising and cessation of the body?' A well-learned noble disciple truly knows the arising of form, the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form. Because of truly knowing, one is not delighted by form, does not praise it, does not cling to it, and does not dwell on it; because one is not delighted by it, does not praise it, does not cling to it, and does not dwell on it, the craving for form ceases; when craving ceases, grasping ceases; when grasping ceases, becoming ceases; when becoming ceases, birth ceases; when birth ceases, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, suffering, and distress, the entire mass of great suffering, cease. Just as with form, so it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness; this is called the path of the cessation of the body. The path of the cessation of the body is also the path of the cessation of suffering, therefore it is said to be the path of the cessation of the body. After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. As it should be said, what exists and what should be known, should also be said in this way.

(70) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'I will now explain the limit of bodily suffering, the limit of the arising of the body, and the limit of the cessation of the body. Listen carefully, reflect well, and I will explain it to you. What is the limit of bodily suffering? It is the five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? The aggregate of form, the aggregates of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness; this is called the limit of bodily suffering. What is the limit of the arising of the body? It is feeling, accompanied by future craving, greed, and delight, with attachment to various things; this is called the limit of the arising of the body. What is the limit of the cessation of the body? It is this feeling, accompanied by future craving, greed, and delight, with attachment to various things, being completely abandoned, relinquished, extinguished, dispassionate, ceased, and passed away; this is called the limit of the cessation of the body. Therefore, the limit of bodily suffering, the limit of the arising of the body, and the limit of the cessation of the body should be explained.' After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. As it should be said, what exists and what should be known, should also be said in this way.

(71) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'I will now explain the body, the arising of the body, the cessation of the body, and the path to the cessation of the body. Listen carefully, reflect well, and I will explain it to you. What is the body? It is the five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? The aggregate of form, the aggregates of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness; this is called the body. What is the arising of the body? It is future craving, accompanied by greed and delight, with attachment to various things; this is called the arising of the body.'


。云何有身滅?當來有愛,貪、喜俱,彼彼樂著無餘斷、吐、盡、離欲、滅,是名有身滅。

「云何有身滅道跡?謂八聖道,正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,是名有身滅道跡。是名當說有身、有身集、有身滅、有身滅道跡。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

其道有三種  實覺亦三種  有身四種說  羅漢有六種

(七二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本: 『什麼是有身的滅盡?』當未來之愛,貪慾和喜悅都消失時,對一切事物不再執著,完全斷除、捨棄、滅盡、離欲,這就是所謂的有身滅盡。 『什麼是有身滅盡的道路?』就是八聖道,即正見、正思惟、正語、正業、正命、正精進、正念、正定,這就是所謂的有身滅盡的道路。這就是所說的有身、有身集、有身滅、有身滅道。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 還有另一種說法。區別在於:『應當知道有身,應當知道斷除有身之集,應當知道證得有身之滅,應當知道修習斷除有身之道。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 正如所說,有和應當知道,也是這樣說的。還有一種區別:『比丘知道有身,斷除有身之集,證得有身之滅,修習斷除有身之道,這樣的比丘就斷除了愛慾的束縛和各種煩惱,修習無間等法,最終達到苦的盡頭。』 還有一種區別:『這樣的比丘就達到了究竟的邊際,究竟的離垢,究竟的梵行,是純凈的上士。』 還有一種區別:『這樣的比丘是阿羅漢,漏盡一切煩惱,所作已辦,已放下重擔,獲得自己的利益,斷盡一切煩惱的束縛,以正智獲得心的解脫。』 還有一種區別:『這樣的比丘斷除了關卡,度過了深溝,超越了境界,脫離了防邏,建立了聖法的旗幟。』 還有一種區別:『什麼是斷關?就是斷除五下分結。什麼是度溝?就是度過無明的深溝。什麼是超越境界?就是究竟地超越無始的生死輪迴。什麼是脫離防邏?就是愛慾的滅盡。什麼是建立聖法的旗幟?就是我慢的滅盡。』 還有一種區別:『這樣的比丘斷除了五種枝,成就了六種枝,守護一種,依靠四種,捨棄一切真理,遠離一切追求,凈化一切覺知,身行止息,心善解脫,慧善解脫,純一地建立梵行,是無上的上士。』 其道有三種,實覺亦三種,有身四種說,羅漢有六種。 (七二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: 'What is the cessation of the body?' When future craving, greed, and joy are all gone, when there is no attachment to anything, when they are completely cut off, relinquished, extinguished, and detached, this is called the cessation of the body. 'What is the path leading to the cessation of the body?' It is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely, right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. This is called the path leading to the cessation of the body. This is what is meant by the body, the arising of the body, the cessation of the body, and the path leading to the cessation of the body. Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. There is another way of saying it. The difference is: 'One should know the body, one should know the abandoning of the arising of the body, one should know the realization of the cessation of the body, and one should know the cultivation of the path leading to the cessation of the body.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. As it is said, 'there is' and 'one should know,' it is also said in this way. And there is another difference: 'A monk who knows the body, abandons the arising of the body, realizes the cessation of the body, and cultivates the path leading to the cessation of the body, such a monk has broken the bonds of craving and desire and all defilements, cultivates the unremitting practices, and ultimately reaches the end of suffering.' And there is another difference: 'Such a monk has reached the ultimate boundary, the ultimate purity, the ultimate holy life, and is a pure noble one.' And there is another difference: 'Such a monk is an Arhat, with all defilements exhausted, what needed to be done is done, the burden is laid down, one's own benefit is attained, all bonds are broken, and the mind is liberated through right knowledge.' And there is another difference: 'Such a monk has broken through the gate, crossed the ditch, transcended the boundary, escaped the guards, and established the banner of the holy Dharma.' And there is another difference: 'What is breaking through the gate? It is breaking the five lower fetters. What is crossing the ditch? It is crossing the deep ditch of ignorance. What is transcending the boundary? It is ultimately transcending the beginningless cycle of birth and death. What is escaping the guards? It is the exhaustion of craving. What is establishing the banner of the holy Dharma? It is the exhaustion of conceit.' And there is another difference: 'Such a monk has broken the five branches, accomplished the six branches, guards one, relies on four, abandons all truths, is detached from all seeking, purifies all awareness, bodily activity ceases, the mind is well liberated, wisdom is well liberated, purely establishes the holy life, and is the unsurpassed noble one.' Its path is threefold, true awakening is also threefold, the body is spoken of in four ways, and the Arhat is of six kinds. (72) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當說所知法、智及智者。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。云何所知法?謂五受陰。何等為五?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰,是名所知法。

「云何為智?調伏貪慾、斷貪慾、越貪慾,是名為智。

「云何智者?阿羅漢是。阿羅漢者,非有他世死、非無他世死、非有無他世死、非非有無他世死,廣說無量,諸數永滅。

「是名說所知法、智及智者。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說重擔、取擔、舍擔、擔者。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。云何重擔?謂五受陰。何等為五?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。

「云何取擔?當來有愛,貪、喜俱,彼彼樂著。

「云何舍擔?若當來有愛,貪、喜俱,彼彼樂著永斷無餘已、滅已,吐、盡、離欲、滅、沒。

「云何擔者?謂士夫是,士夫者,如是名,如是生,如是姓族,如是食,如是受苦樂,如是長壽,如是久住,如是壽命齊限。是名為重擔、取擔、舍擔、擔者。」

爾時,世尊而說偈言:

「已舍于重擔,  不復應更取,  重任為大苦,  舍任為大樂,  當斷一切愛,  則盡一切行,  曉了有餘境,  不復轉還有。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有五受陰

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當說所知法、智和智者。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。什麼叫做所知法?就是五種受陰。哪五種呢?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰,這叫做所知法。』 『什麼叫做智?調伏貪慾、斷除貪慾、超越貪慾,這叫做智。』 『什麼叫做智者?阿羅漢就是。阿羅漢,不是有來世的死,不是沒有來世的死,不是既有又沒有來世的死,不是非有非沒有來世的死,廣泛地說,種種數量都永遠滅盡。』 『這叫做說所知法、智和智者。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (七三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說重擔、取擔、舍擔和擔者。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。什麼叫做重擔?就是五種受陰。哪五種呢?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。』 『什麼叫做取擔?就是未來的愛慾,伴隨著貪婪和喜悅,對各種事物執著。』 『什麼叫做舍擔?就是未來的愛慾,伴隨著貪婪和喜悅,對各種事物的執著,永遠斷除,沒有剩餘,滅盡,吐出,離欲,滅沒。』 『什麼叫做擔者?就是士夫。士夫,就是這樣命名,這樣出生,這樣姓氏,這樣飲食,這樣感受苦樂,這樣長壽,這樣久住,這樣壽命的期限。這叫做重擔、取擔、舍擔和擔者。』 當時,世尊說了偈語: 『已經捨棄了重擔, 不應該再重新拾取, 重擔是巨大的痛苦, 捨棄重擔是巨大的快樂, 應當斷除一切愛慾, 就能滅盡一切行為, 明瞭了有餘的境界, 就不會再輪迴轉生。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (七四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五種受陰』

English version At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'I will speak of what is to be known, wisdom, and the wise one. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. What is meant by what is to be known? It is the five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? The aggregate of form, the aggregates of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, these are called what is to be known.' 'What is meant by wisdom? It is the taming of desire, the cutting off of desire, the transcending of desire, this is called wisdom.' 'What is meant by the wise one? It is the Arhat. The Arhat is not one who has death in another life, not one who has no death in another life, not one who both has and has no death in another life, not one who neither has nor has no death in another life, broadly speaking, all numbers are forever extinguished.' 'This is called speaking of what is to be known, wisdom, and the wise one.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (73) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'I will now speak of the burden, the taking up of the burden, the laying down of the burden, and the bearer of the burden. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. What is meant by the burden? It is the five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? The aggregate of form, the aggregates of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' 'What is meant by taking up the burden? It is future craving, accompanied by greed and delight, clinging to this and that.' 'What is meant by laying down the burden? It is when future craving, accompanied by greed and delight, clinging to this and that, is completely cut off without remainder, extinguished, vomited out, relinquished, dispassionate, ceased, and sunk.' 'What is meant by the bearer of the burden? It is the individual. The individual is so named, so born, of such a clan, eating such food, experiencing such pleasure and pain, having such a lifespan, dwelling for such a time, and having such a life span. This is called the burden, the taking up of the burden, the laying down of the burden, and the bearer of the burden.' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 'Having laid down the burden, One should not take it up again, The burden is great suffering, Laying down the burden is great joy, One should cut off all craving, Then all actions will cease, Having understood the remaining realm, One will not return again.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (74) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'There are five aggregates of clinging'


。何等為五?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。愚癡無聞凡夫不如實知色、色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離。不如實知故,於色所樂、讚歎、繫著住,色縛所縛,內縛所縛,不知根本,不知邊際,不知出離,是名愚癡無聞凡夫。以縛生,以縛死,以縛從此世至他世;于彼亦復以縛生,以縛死,是名愚癡無聞凡夫。隨魔自在,入魔網中,隨魔所化,魔縛所縛,為魔所牽。受、想、行、識亦復如是。

「多聞聖弟子如實知色、色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離。如實知故,不貪喜色,不讚嘆,不繫著住,非色縛所縛,非內縛所縛,知根本,知津濟,知出離,是名多聞聖弟子。不隨縛生,不隨縛死,不隨縛從此世至他世,不隨魔自在,不入魔手,不隨魔所作,非魔所縛,解脫魔縛,離魔所牽;受、想、行、識亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有五受陰。何等為五?謂色受陰,比丘於色厭、離欲、滅、不起、解脫,是名如來、應、等正覺;如是受、想、行、識,厭、離欲、滅、不起、解脫,是名如來、應、等正覺。比丘亦於色厭、離欲、滅,名阿羅漢慧解脫;如是受、想、行、識,厭、離欲、滅,名阿羅漢慧解脫。比丘!如來、應、等正覺,阿羅漢慧解脫,有何差別?」

比丘白佛:「如來為法根、為法眼、為法依,唯愿世尊為諸比丘廣說此義,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說

現代漢語譯本:什麼是五蘊呢?即色受陰,以及受、想、行、識受陰。愚癡無知的凡夫不能如實地瞭解色的生起、色的集結、色的滅盡、色的樂味、色的過患、色的出離。因為不能如實瞭解,所以對於色產生喜愛、讚歎、執著,被色所束縛,被內在的束縛所困,不知道根本,不知道邊際,不知道出離,這叫做愚癡無知的凡夫。他們因束縛而生,因束縛而死,因束縛而從這一世到下一世;在下一世也同樣因束縛而生,因束縛而死,這叫做愚癡無知的凡夫。他們隨魔自在,進入魔網之中,隨魔所化,被魔的束縛所困,被魔所牽引。受、想、行、識也是如此。 多聞的聖弟子能夠如實地瞭解色的生起、色的集結、色的滅盡、色的樂味、色的過患、色的出離。因為如實瞭解,所以不貪愛色,不讚嘆,不執著,不被色的束縛所困,不被內在的束縛所困,知道根本,知道解脫之道,知道出離,這叫做多聞的聖弟子。他們不隨束縛而生,不隨束縛而死,不隨束縛從這一世到下一世,不隨魔自在,不入魔手,不隨魔所作,不被魔所束縛,解脫魔的束縛,脫離魔的牽引;受、想、行、識也是如此。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜奉行。 (七五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五種受陰。哪五種呢?即色受陰。比丘對於色厭惡、離欲、滅盡、不起、解脫,這叫做如來、應供、等正覺;同樣,對於受、想、行、識,厭惡、離欲、滅盡、不起、解脫,這叫做如來、應供、等正覺。比丘也對於色厭惡、離欲、滅盡,叫做阿羅漢慧解脫;同樣,對於受、想、行、識,厭惡、離欲、滅盡,叫做阿羅漢慧解脫。比丘們!如來、應供、等正覺和阿羅漢慧解脫,有什麼差別呢?』 比丘們對佛說:『如來是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠,唯愿世尊為眾比丘詳細解說這個道理,眾比丘聽了之後,當會接受奉行。』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。』

English version: What are the five? They are the form aggregate, and the feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness aggregates. Ignorant, unlearned ordinary people do not truly understand the arising, the gathering, the cessation, the gratification, the danger, and the escape from form. Because they do not truly understand, they are attached to, praise, and cling to form, bound by the fetters of form, bound by inner fetters, not knowing the root, not knowing the boundary, not knowing the escape. This is called an ignorant, unlearned ordinary person. They are born with fetters, die with fetters, and with fetters go from this world to the next; in the next world, they are also born with fetters and die with fetters. This is called an ignorant, unlearned ordinary person. They are at the mercy of Mara, enter Mara's net, are transformed by Mara, bound by Mara's fetters, and led by Mara. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Well-learned noble disciples truly understand the arising, the gathering, the cessation, the gratification, the danger, and the escape from form. Because they truly understand, they do not crave form, do not praise it, do not cling to it, are not bound by the fetters of form, are not bound by inner fetters, know the root, know the way to liberation, and know the escape. This is called a well-learned noble disciple. They are not born with fetters, do not die with fetters, do not go from this world to the next with fetters, are not at the mercy of Mara, do not enter Mara's hand, are not transformed by Mara, are not bound by Mara's fetters, are liberated from Mara's fetters, and are free from Mara's lead. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (75) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying, 'There are five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? They are the form aggregate. Monks, when a monk is disgusted with, detached from, ceases, does not arise, and is liberated from form, this is called a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Fully Enlightened One. Likewise, when one is disgusted with, detached from, ceases, does not arise, and is liberated from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, this is called a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Fully Enlightened One. Monks, when a monk is disgusted with, detached from, and ceases form, this is called an Arhat liberated by wisdom. Likewise, when one is disgusted with, detached from, and ceases feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, this is called an Arhat liberated by wisdom. Monks! What is the difference between a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Fully Enlightened One, and an Arhat liberated by wisdom?' The monks said to the Buddha, 'The Tathagata is the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, and the refuge of the Dharma. We beseech the World-Honored One to explain this meaning in detail to the monks, so that the monks, having heard it, will accept and practice it.' The Buddha told the monks, 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.'

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!色無我,無我者則無常,無常者則是苦。若苦者,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在,當作是觀。受、想、行、識亦復如是。多聞聖弟子於此五受陰觀察非我、非我所。如是觀察已,於世間都無所取;無所取者,則無所著;無所著者,自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

現代漢語譯本:如來、應供、正等覺在未曾聽聞佛法時,能自己覺悟佛法,通達無上菩提,在未來世開啟聲聞弟子的覺悟併爲他們說法,即四念處、四正勤、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺支、八正道。比丘們!這稱為如來、應供、正等覺未得而得,未利而利,知道、分別道、說道、通達道,又能成就諸聲聞弟子的教導和訓誡;像這樣宣說正順、欣樂的善法,這就是如來和羅漢的差別。」 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (七六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五種受陰。哪五種呢?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。你們比丘應當觀察色,觀察色之後,看看是否有我、異我、相在嗎?』 眾比丘回答佛陀說:『沒有,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『很好!很好!色無我,無我則無常,無常則是苦。如果是苦,那麼它就不是我、不異於我、不相在,應當這樣觀察。受、想、行、識也是如此。多聞的聖弟子觀察這五受陰,認為它們非我、非我所。這樣觀察之後,對於世間的一切都無所執取;無所執取,則無所依戀;無所依戀,就能自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (七七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當斷除對欲的貪愛,欲貪斷除后,色也斷除;色斷除后,就得到斷除的知見;得到斷除的知見后,就從根本上斷除。就像砍斷多羅樹的樹頭,未來不會再長出來。受、想、行、識的欲貪斷除,乃至未來世也不會再產生。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

English version: The Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Fully Enlightened One, without having heard the Dharma, can awaken to the Dharma by himself, attain unsurpassed Bodhi, and in the future, awaken the Sravakas and teach them the Dharma, namely the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, the Four Right Exertions, the Four Paths to Power, the Five Faculties, the Five Strengths, the Seven Factors of Enlightenment, and the Eightfold Path. Monks! This is called the Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Fully Enlightened One, having attained what was not attained, having benefited what was not benefited, knowing, distinguishing, speaking, and understanding the path, and also being able to accomplish the teachings and instructions for all Sravakas; thus speaking of the Dharma that is right, agreeable, and joyful, this is the difference between the Tathagata and an Arhat.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (76) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 『There are five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? The aggregate of form, the aggregates of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. You monks should observe form, and after observing form, see if there is a self, a different self, or a self within?』 The monks replied to the Buddha: 『No, World Honored One!』 The Buddha told the monks: 『Excellent! Excellent! Form is without self, and what is without self is impermanent, and what is impermanent is suffering. If it is suffering, then it is not self, not different from self, and not within self, you should observe it in this way. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also the same. A well-learned noble disciple observes these five aggregates of clinging as not self and not belonging to self. Having observed in this way, they have no attachment to anything in the world; having no attachment, they have no clinging; having no clinging, they realize Nirvana by themselves: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life is lived, what had to be done is done, and there is no more future existence.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (77) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 『You should abandon craving for desire. When craving for desire is abandoned, form is also abandoned; when form is abandoned, the knowledge of abandonment is attained; when the knowledge of abandonment is attained, it is abandoned from the root. It is like cutting off the top of a palmyra tree, which will not grow again in the future. Likewise, when craving for desire for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness is abandoned, they will not arise again in the future.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若色起、住、出,則苦於此起,病於此住,老、死於此出;受、想、行、識亦如是說。比丘!若色滅、息、沒,苦於此滅,病於此息,老、死於此沒;受、想、行、識亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去、未來色尚無常,況復現在色!多聞聖弟子如是觀察已,不顧過去色,不欣未來色,于現在色厭、離欲、滅寂靜;受、想、行、識亦復如是。

「比丘!若無過去色者,多聞聖弟子無不顧過去色;以有過去色故,多聞聖弟子不顧過去色。若無未來色者,多聞聖弟子無不欣未來色;以有未來色故,多聞聖弟子不欣未來色。若無現在色者,多聞聖弟子不于現在色生厭、離欲、滅盡向;以欲現在色故,多聞聖弟子于現在色生厭、離欲、滅盡向。受、想、行、識亦如是說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如無常,苦、空、非我三經,亦如是說。

(八〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當說聖法印及見清凈。諦聽,善思。若有比丘作是說:『我于空三昧未有所得,而起無相、無所有、離慢知見。』者,莫作是說

現代漢語譯本 (七八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果色(物質)生起、存在、消散,那麼痛苦就會由此生起,疾病會由此存在,衰老和死亡會由此消散;感受、思想、行為、意識也是這樣說的。比丘們!如果色(物質)滅盡、止息、消失,那麼痛苦就會由此滅盡,疾病會由此止息,衰老和死亡會由此消失;感受、思想、行為、意識也是這樣。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (七九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去的和未來的色(物質)尚且是無常的,更何況現在的色(物質)!多聞的聖弟子這樣觀察后,就不會留戀過去的色(物質),不會貪求未來的色(物質),對於現在的色(物質)會厭惡、舍離慾望、達到寂靜;感受、思想、行為、意識也是這樣。』 『比丘們!如果沒有過去的色(物質),多聞的聖弟子就不會不留戀過去的色(物質);正因為有過去的色(物質),多聞的聖弟子才不留戀過去的色(物質)。如果沒有未來的色(物質),多聞的聖弟子就不會不貪求未來的色(物質);正因為有未來的色(物質),多聞的聖弟子才不貪求未來的色(物質)。如果沒有現在的色(物質),多聞的聖弟子就不會對現在的色(物質)產生厭惡、舍離慾望、趨向滅盡;正因為有現在的色(物質),多聞的聖弟子才對現在的色(物質)產生厭惡、舍離慾望、趨向滅盡。感受、思想、行為、意識也是這樣說的。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 如無常、苦、空、非我這三部經,也是這樣說的。 (八〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當說聖法的印記和見解的清凈。仔細聽,好好思考。如果有比丘這樣說:『我對於空三昧還沒有任何領悟,卻產生了無相、無所有、遠離我慢的知見。』,不要這樣說。

English version (78) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'If form arises, abides, and ceases, then suffering arises from this, disease abides in this, and old age and death cease from this; so also are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Bhikkhus! If form is extinguished, ceases, and disappears, then suffering is extinguished from this, disease ceases from this, and old age and death disappear from this; so also are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and practiced accordingly. (79) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'Past and future form are impermanent, how much more so present form! A well-instructed noble disciple, having observed this, does not dwell on past form, does not delight in future form, and becomes disgusted with, dispassionate towards, and tranquilized by present form; so also are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' 'Bhikkhus! If there were no past form, a well-instructed noble disciple would not dwell on past form; because there is past form, a well-instructed noble disciple does not dwell on past form. If there were no future form, a well-instructed noble disciple would not delight in future form; because there is future form, a well-instructed noble disciple does not delight in future form. If there were no present form, a well-instructed noble disciple would not become disgusted with, dispassionate towards, and inclined to the cessation of present form; because there is present form, a well-instructed noble disciple becomes disgusted with, dispassionate towards, and inclined to the cessation of present form. So also are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and practiced accordingly. The same is said for the three discourses on impermanence, suffering, emptiness, and non-self. (80) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'I will speak of the marks of the holy Dharma and the purity of view. Listen carefully and reflect well. If a bhikkhu says: 『I have not attained anything in the emptiness concentration, yet I have arisen with the knowledge of signlessness, nothingness, and freedom from conceit,』 do not say this.


。所以者何?若於空未得者而言我得無相、無所有、離慢知見者,無有是處!若有比丘作是說:『我得空,能起無相、無所有、離慢知見。』者,此則善說。所以者何?若得空已,能起無相、無所有、離慢知見者,斯有是處!云何為聖弟子及見清凈?」

比丘白佛:「佛為法根、法眼、法依,唯愿為說!諸比丘聞說法已,如說奉行。」

佛告比丘:「若比丘于空閑處樹下坐,善觀色無常、磨滅、離欲之法。如是觀察受、想、行、識,無常、磨滅、離欲之法。觀察彼陰無常、磨滅、不堅固、變易法,心樂、清凈、解脫,是名為空。如是觀者,亦不能離慢、知見清凈。

「復有正思惟三昧,觀色相斷,聲、香、味、觸、法相斷,是名無相。如是觀者,猶未離慢、知見清凈。

「復有正思惟三昧,觀察貪相斷,瞋恚、癡相斷,是名無所有。如是觀者,猶未離慢、知見清凈。

「復有正思惟三昧,觀察我所從何而生?

「復有正思惟三昧,觀察我、我所,從若見、若聞、若嗅、若嘗、若觸、若識而生。

「復作是觀察:『若因、若緣而生識者,彼識因、緣,為常、為無常?』

「復作是思惟:『若因、若緣而生識者,彼因、彼緣皆悉無常。』複次,彼因、彼緣皆悉無常,彼所生識云何有常?

「無常者,是有為行,從緣起,是患法、滅法、離欲法、斷知法,是名聖法印、知見清凈;是名比丘當說聖法印、知見清凈……」如是廣說。

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?如果有人在沒有真正領悟空性的時候,就說自己已經獲得了無相、無所有、以及脫離我慢的知見,這是不可能的!如果有一位比丘這樣說:『我已經領悟了空性,能夠生起無相、無所有、以及脫離我慢的知見。』,這才是正確的說法。這是什麼原因呢?如果真正領悟了空性,就能夠生起無相、無所有、以及脫離我慢的知見,這才是合理的!那麼,如何才能成為聖弟子並獲得清凈的見解呢? 比丘對佛說:『佛是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠,希望您能為我們解說!我們這些比丘聽聞佛的教誨后,一定會按照您所說的去奉行。』 佛告訴比丘們:『如果比丘在空閑的地方,比如在樹下靜坐,仔細觀察色法是無常的、會消磨的、會讓人離欲的。同樣地,觀察受、想、行、識,也是無常的、會消磨的、會讓人離欲的。觀察這些構成生命的要素是無常的、會消磨的、不堅固的、會變化的,內心感到喜悅、清凈、解脫,這叫做空。像這樣觀察,仍然不能脫離我慢,也不能獲得清凈的見解。 『還有一種正思惟的三昧,觀察色相的斷滅,聲音、香氣、味道、觸感、法相的斷滅,這叫做無相。像這樣觀察,仍然不能脫離我慢,也不能獲得清凈的見解。 『還有一種正思惟的三昧,觀察貪慾的斷滅,嗔恨、愚癡的斷滅,這叫做無所有。像這樣觀察,仍然不能脫離我慢,也不能獲得清凈的見解。 『還有一種正思惟的三昧,觀察『我』是從哪裡產生的?』 『還有一種正思惟的三昧,觀察『我』和『我所』,是從所見、所聞、所嗅、所嘗、所觸、所識而產生的。』 『再這樣觀察:『如果因為因緣而產生意識,那麼這個意識的因緣,是常還是無常呢?』 『再這樣思惟:『如果因為因緣而產生意識,那麼這個因緣都是無常的。』進一步說,如果因緣都是無常的,那麼由它所產生的意識又怎麼可能是常呢?』 『無常的事物,是有為的,從因緣而生,是苦患的、會滅的、會讓人離欲的、會斷滅的,這叫做聖法印、清凈的見解;這就是比丘應當宣說的聖法印、清凈的見解……』佛陀如此廣泛地闡述。 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。

English version: What is the reason for this? If someone, without having truly realized emptiness, claims to have attained the absence of characteristics, the absence of possessions, and the knowledge free from conceit, that is impossible! If a bhikkhu were to say, 'I have attained emptiness, and I am able to generate the absence of characteristics, the absence of possessions, and the knowledge free from conceit,' that would be a correct statement. What is the reason for this? If one has truly attained emptiness, one is able to generate the absence of characteristics, the absence of possessions, and the knowledge free from conceit; that is reasonable! So, how does one become a noble disciple and attain pure understanding? The bhikkhus said to the Buddha, 'Buddha, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, and the refuge of the Dharma. We beseech you to explain it to us! We bhikkhus, having heard the Dharma, will practice as you have taught.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus, 'If a bhikkhu sits in a secluded place, such as under a tree, and carefully observes that form is impermanent, subject to decay, and leads to detachment, and similarly observes that feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also impermanent, subject to decay, and lead to detachment, and observes that these elements of life are impermanent, subject to decay, not firm, and subject to change, and the mind feels joy, purity, and liberation, this is called emptiness. Even with such observation, one cannot be free from conceit, nor can one attain pure understanding.' 'Furthermore, there is a samadhi of right contemplation, observing the cessation of the characteristic of form, the cessation of sound, smell, taste, touch, and the characteristic of phenomena; this is called the absence of characteristics. Even with such observation, one cannot be free from conceit, nor can one attain pure understanding.' 'Furthermore, there is a samadhi of right contemplation, observing the cessation of the characteristic of greed, the cessation of hatred and delusion; this is called the absence of possessions. Even with such observation, one cannot be free from conceit, nor can one attain pure understanding.' 'Furthermore, there is a samadhi of right contemplation, observing, 'From where does the 'I' arise?'' 'Furthermore, there is a samadhi of right contemplation, observing that 'I' and 'mine' arise from what is seen, heard, smelled, tasted, touched, and cognized.' 'And further observe: 'If consciousness arises from a cause and condition, is that cause and condition of consciousness permanent or impermanent?'' 'And further contemplate: 'If consciousness arises from a cause and condition, then that cause and condition are all impermanent.' Furthermore, if the cause and condition are all impermanent, how can the consciousness that arises from them be permanent?' 'That which is impermanent is conditioned, arises from causes and conditions, is suffering, subject to cessation, leads to detachment, and is subject to ending; this is called the seal of the noble Dharma, pure understanding; this is what a bhikkhu should proclaim as the seal of the noble Dharma, pure understanding...' The Buddha expounded in this extensive manner. Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them.


(八一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗耶離獼猴池側重閣講堂。

爾時,有離車名摩訶男,日日遊行,往詣佛所。時,彼離車作是念:「若我早詣世尊所者,世尊及我知識比丘皆悉禪思,我今當詣七庵羅樹阿耆毗外道所。」即往詣彼富蘭那迦葉住處。

時,富蘭那迦葉——外道眾主,與五百外道前後圍繞,高聲嬉戲,論說俗事。時,富蘭那迦葉遙見離車摩訶男來,告其眷屬,令寂靜住:「汝等默然!是離車摩訶男是沙門瞿曇弟子,此是沙門瞿曇白衣弟子,毗耶離中最為上首,常樂靜寂,讚歎寂靜,彼所之詣寂靜之眾,是故汝等應當寂靜。」

時,摩訶男詣彼眾富蘭那所,與富蘭那共相問訊,相慰勞已,卻坐一面。時,摩訶男語富蘭那言:「我聞富蘭那為諸弟子說法:『無因、無緣眾生有垢,無因、無緣眾生清凈。』世有此論,汝為審有此,為是外人相毀之言?世人所撰,為是法、為非法,頗有世人共論、難問、嫌責以不?」

富蘭那迦葉言:「實有此論,非世妄傳。我立此論,是如法論,我說此法,皆是順法,無有世人來共難問而呵責者。所以者何?摩訶男!我如是見、如是說:『無因、無緣眾生有垢,無因、無緣眾生清凈。』」

時,摩訶男聞富蘭那所說,心不喜樂,呵罵已,從坐起去,向世尊所,頭面禮足,卻坐一面,以向與富蘭那所論事,向佛廣說。

佛告離車摩訶男:「彼富蘭那為出意語,不足記也。如是富蘭那愚癡,不辨、不善、非因而作是說:『無因、無緣眾生有垢,無因、無緣眾生清凈

現代漢語譯本 (八一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在毗耶離獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,有一位名叫摩訶男的離車人,每天都前往佛陀所在的地方。那時,這位離車人心中想:『如果我早點去拜見世尊,世尊和我的熟識比丘們都在禪定中,我現在應該去七庵羅樹的阿耆毗外道那裡。』於是就去了富蘭那迦葉的住處。 當時,富蘭那迦葉——外道首領,被五百外道前後圍繞,高聲嬉鬧,談論世俗之事。富蘭那迦葉遠遠看見離車人摩訶男來了,就告訴他的眷屬,讓他們安靜下來:『你們安靜!這位離車人摩訶男是沙門瞿曇的弟子,他是沙門瞿曇的在家弟子,在毗耶離中最為尊貴,他喜歡安靜,讚美安靜,他所去的地方都是安靜的場所,所以你們應當安靜。』 當時,摩訶男來到富蘭那的住所,與富蘭那互相問候,慰問之後,坐在一旁。摩訶男對富蘭那說:『我聽說富蘭那為弟子們說法:『無因無緣眾生有垢,無因無緣眾生清凈。』世上有這種說法,你確實是這樣認為的嗎?還是別人誹謗你的話?世人所撰寫的,是符合佛法的還是不符合佛法的?有沒有世人共同討論、質疑、責難的?』 富蘭那迦葉說:『確實有這種說法,不是世人妄傳。我創立這種說法,是符合佛法的說法,我說這種法,都是順應佛法的,沒有世人來質疑責難我。為什麼呢?摩訶男!我就是這樣認為、這樣說的:『無因無緣眾生有垢,無因無緣眾生清凈。』 當時,摩訶男聽了富蘭那所說,心中不喜悅,呵斥了他,就從座位上起身離開,前往世尊所在的地方,頂禮佛足,坐在一旁,把剛才與富蘭那所討論的事情,向佛陀詳細地說了。 佛陀告訴離車人摩訶男:『富蘭那說的是沒有意義的話,不值得記述。像富蘭那這樣愚癡的人,不辨是非,不善巧,沒有原因就說:『無因無緣眾生有垢,無因無緣眾生清凈。』

English version (Eighty-one) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the multi-storied lecture hall beside the Monkey Pond in Vaishali. At that time, there was a Licchavi named Mahanama, who went to the Buddha's place every day. Then, this Licchavi thought: 'If I go to see the World Honored One early, the World Honored One and the monks I know will all be in meditation. I should go to the Ajivika ascetics at the seven mango trees.' So he went to the place where Purana Kassapa was staying. At that time, Purana Kassapa—the leader of the ascetics—was surrounded by five hundred ascetics, making loud noises and discussing worldly matters. Purana Kassapa saw Licchavi Mahanama coming from afar and told his followers to be quiet: 'Be silent! This Licchavi Mahanama is a disciple of the Shramana Gautama. He is a lay disciple of the Shramana Gautama, the most respected in Vaishali. He loves tranquility and praises tranquility. The places he goes are all quiet, so you should be quiet.' Then, Mahanama went to Purana's place, greeted Purana, and after exchanging pleasantries, sat to one side. Mahanama said to Purana: 'I have heard that Purana teaches his disciples: 'Without cause or condition, beings are defiled; without cause or condition, beings are pure.' Is this what you truly believe, or is it slander from others? Is what people have written in accordance with the Dharma or not? Are there people who discuss, question, or criticize this?' Purana Kassapa said: 'This is indeed what I teach, not a false rumor. I established this teaching, and it is in accordance with the Dharma. What I say is in accordance with the Dharma, and no one has come to question or criticize me. Why is that? Mahanama! This is what I see and what I say: 'Without cause or condition, beings are defiled; without cause or condition, beings are pure.' Then, Mahanama, upon hearing what Purana said, was displeased and rebuked him. He then rose from his seat and left, going to the place where the World Honored One was. He bowed at the Buddha's feet, sat to one side, and told the Buddha in detail about his conversation with Purana. The Buddha said to Licchavi Mahanama: 'What Purana said is meaningless and not worth remembering. Purana is foolish, unable to discern right from wrong, unskilled, and without reason says: 'Without cause or condition, beings are defiled; without cause or condition, beings are pure.'


。』所以者何?有因、有緣眾生有垢,有因、有緣眾生清凈。

「摩訶男!何因、何緣眾生有垢,何因、何緣眾生清凈?摩訶男!若色一向是苦,非樂、非隨樂、非樂長養、離樂者,眾生不應因此而生樂著。摩訶男!以色非一向是苦,是樂、隨樂、樂所長養、不離樂,是故眾生於色染著;染著故系,系故有惱。摩訶男!若受、想、行、識一向是苦,非樂、非隨樂、非樂長養、離樂者,眾生不應因此而生樂著。摩訶男!以識非一向是苦,是樂,隨樂、樂所長養、不離樂,是故眾生於識染著;染著故系,系故生惱。摩訶男!是名有因、有緣眾生有垢。

「摩訶男!何因、何緣眾生清凈?摩訶男!若色一向是樂,非苦、非隨苦、非憂苦長養、離苦者,眾生不應因色而生厭離。摩訶男!以色非一向樂,是苦、隨苦、憂苦長養、不離苦,是故眾生厭離於色;厭故不樂,不樂故解脫。摩訶男!若受、想、行、識一向是樂,非苦、非隨苦、非憂苦長養、離苦者,眾生不應因識而生厭離。摩訶男!以受、想、行、識非一向樂,是苦、隨苦、憂苦長養、不離苦,是故眾生厭離於識;厭故不樂,不樂故解脫。摩訶男!是名有因、有緣眾生清凈。」

時,摩訶男聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,禮佛而退。

知法及重擔  往詣、觀、欲貪  生及與略說  法印、富蘭那

(八二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住支提竹園精舍

現代漢語譯本:『這是什麼原因呢?』因為有因、有緣,眾生就會有污垢;因為有因、有緣,眾生就會清凈。 『摩訶男!什麼因、什麼緣導致眾生有污垢,什麼因、什麼緣導致眾生清凈呢?摩訶男!如果色完全是苦,不是樂,不隨順樂,不是樂所滋養,遠離樂,那麼眾生不應該因此而產生貪戀。摩訶男!因為色不是完全是苦,而是樂,隨順樂,樂所滋養,不離樂,所以眾生對色產生染著;因為染著所以被束縛,因為被束縛所以有煩惱。摩訶男!如果受、想、行、識完全是苦,不是樂,不隨順樂,不是樂所滋養,遠離樂,那麼眾生不應該因此而產生貪戀。摩訶男!因為識不是完全是苦,而是樂,隨順樂,樂所滋養,不離樂,所以眾生對識產生染著;因為染著所以被束縛,因為被束縛所以有煩惱。摩訶男!這叫做有因、有緣眾生有污垢。 『摩訶男!什麼因、什麼緣導致眾生清凈呢?摩訶男!如果色完全是樂,不是苦,不隨順苦,不是憂苦所滋養,遠離苦,那麼眾生不應該因為色而產生厭離。摩訶男!因為色不是完全是樂,而是苦,隨順苦,憂苦所滋養,不離苦,所以眾生厭離色;因為厭離所以不貪戀,因為不貪戀所以解脫。摩訶男!如果受、想、行、識完全是樂,不是苦,不隨順苦,不是憂苦所滋養,遠離苦,那麼眾生不應該因為識而產生厭離。摩訶男!因為受、想、行、識不是完全是樂,而是苦,隨順苦,憂苦所滋養,不離苦,所以眾生厭離識;因為厭離所以不貪戀,因為不貪戀所以解脫。摩訶男!這叫做有因、有緣眾生清凈。』 當時,摩訶男聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,向佛頂禮後退下。 知法及重擔,往詣、觀、欲貪,生及與略說,法印、富蘭那。 (八二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在支提竹園精舍。

English version: 'What is the reason for this? Because of causes and conditions, beings have defilements; because of causes and conditions, beings are purified.' 'Mahānāma, what are the causes and conditions for beings to have defilements, and what are the causes and conditions for beings to be purified? Mahānāma, if form were entirely suffering, not pleasure, not following pleasure, not nourished by pleasure, and separate from pleasure, beings would not develop attachment to it. Mahānāma, because form is not entirely suffering, but is pleasure, follows pleasure, is nourished by pleasure, and is not separate from pleasure, therefore beings become attached to form; because of attachment they are bound, and because of being bound they have suffering. Mahānāma, if feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness were entirely suffering, not pleasure, not following pleasure, not nourished by pleasure, and separate from pleasure, beings would not develop attachment to them. Mahānāma, because consciousness is not entirely suffering, but is pleasure, follows pleasure, is nourished by pleasure, and is not separate from pleasure, therefore beings become attached to consciousness; because of attachment they are bound, and because of being bound they have suffering. Mahānāma, this is called beings having defilements due to causes and conditions.' 'Mahānāma, what are the causes and conditions for beings to be purified? Mahānāma, if form were entirely pleasure, not suffering, not following suffering, not nourished by sorrowful suffering, and separate from suffering, beings would not develop aversion to form. Mahānāma, because form is not entirely pleasure, but is suffering, follows suffering, is nourished by sorrowful suffering, and is not separate from suffering, therefore beings develop aversion to form; because of aversion they do not crave, and because of not craving they are liberated. Mahānāma, if feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness were entirely pleasure, not suffering, not following suffering, not nourished by sorrowful suffering, and separate from suffering, beings would not develop aversion to consciousness. Mahānāma, because feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are not entirely pleasure, but are suffering, follow suffering, are nourished by sorrowful suffering, and are not separate from suffering, therefore beings develop aversion to consciousness; because of aversion they do not crave, and because of not craving they are liberated. Mahānāma, this is called beings being purified due to causes and conditions.' Then, Mahānāma, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, and after bowing to the Buddha, he departed. Knowing the Dharma and the heavy burden, going to, observing, desire and craving, birth and the brief explanation, the Dharma seal, Pūraṇa. (82) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove Monastery in Cetī.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「多聞聖弟子於何所而見無常、苦?」

諸比丘白佛言:「世尊為法根、法眼、法依,唯愿為說!諸比丘聞已,當如說奉行。」

佛告比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。多聞聖弟子於色見無常、苦,于受、想、行、識,見無常、苦。比丘!色為是常、無常耶?」

比丘白佛:「無常。世尊!」

「比丘!無常者是苦耶?」

比丘白佛:「是苦。世尊!」

「比丘!若無常、苦,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于中見我、異我、相在不?」

比丘白佛:「不也,世尊!」

「受、想、行、識亦復如是。是故,比丘!所有諸色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切皆非我、非異我、不相在。受、想、行、識亦復如是。多聞聖弟子如是觀察,厭於色,厭受、想、行、識,厭故不樂,不樂故解脫,解脫故:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

時,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗耶離獼猴池側重閣講堂。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「多聞聖弟子於何所見非我、不異我、不相在。如是平等正觀,如實知見?」

比丘白佛:「世尊為法根、法眼、法依,唯愿為說!諸比丘聞已,如說奉行。」

佛告比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。多聞聖弟子於色見非我、不異我、不相在,是名如實正觀。受、想、行、識亦復如是

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『多聞的聖弟子在什麼地方看到無常和苦呢?』 眾比丘對佛說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠,唯愿您為我們解說!眾比丘聽了之後,當會如您所說奉行。』 佛告訴比丘們:『仔細聽,好好思考,我當爲你們解說。多聞的聖弟子在色法中看到無常和苦,在受、想、行、識中也看到無常和苦。比丘們!色法是常還是無常呢?』 比丘們回答佛說:『是無常的,世尊!』 『比丘們!無常的東西是苦嗎?』 比丘們回答佛說:『是苦的,世尊!』 『比丘們!如果無常、是苦,是會變易的法,多聞的聖弟子難道會在其中看到我、異我、或相在嗎?』 比丘們回答佛說:『不會的,世尊!』 『受、想、行、識也是如此。因此,比丘們!所有一切色法,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是好、丑,無論是遠、近,它們都不是我、不是異我、也不是相在。受、想、行、識也是如此。多聞的聖弟子這樣觀察,就會厭離色法,厭離受、想、行、識,因為厭離而不貪戀,因為不貪戀而解脫,解脫后就會知道:『我的生死已盡,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來生。』 當時,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (八三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在毗耶離獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『多聞的聖弟子在什麼地方看到非我、不異我、不相在。像這樣平等正確的觀察,如實地知見呢?』 比丘們對佛說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠,唯愿您為我們解說!眾比丘聽了之後,當會如您所說奉行。』 佛告訴比丘們:『仔細聽,好好思考,我當爲你們解說。多聞的聖弟子在色法中看到非我、不異我、不相在,這叫做如實正確的觀察。受、想、行、識也是如此。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One said to the bhikkhus: 'Where does a well-learned noble disciple see impermanence and suffering?' The bhikkhus said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma. We beseech you to explain it! Having heard it, the bhikkhus will practice as you have said.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. A well-learned noble disciple sees impermanence and suffering in form, and also sees impermanence and suffering in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Bhikkhus! Is form permanent or impermanent?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'Impermanent, World Honored One!' 'Bhikkhus! Is that which is impermanent suffering?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'It is suffering, World Honored One!' 'Bhikkhus! If it is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, would a well-learned noble disciple see self, other than self, or in relation to self in it?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'No, World Honored One!' 'Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this. Therefore, bhikkhus! All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether far or near, all of them are not self, not other than self, and not in relation to self. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this. A well-learned noble disciple observes in this way, and becomes weary of form, weary of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Because of weariness, they do not delight in them, and because of not delighting, they are liberated. Having been liberated, they know: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life has been established, what had to be done has been done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』' At that time, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (83) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the multi-storied hall by the side of the Monkey Pond in Vaishali. At that time, the World Honored One said to the bhikkhus: 'Where does a well-learned noble disciple see not-self, not other than self, and not in relation to self? How does one see with such equal and correct observation, and know and see things as they truly are?' The bhikkhus said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma. We beseech you to explain it! Having heard it, the bhikkhus will practice as you have said.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. A well-learned noble disciple sees not-self, not other than self, and not in relation to self in form. This is called seeing things as they truly are with correct observation. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this.'


。」

佛告諸比丘:「色為是常、為無常耶?」

比丘白佛:「無常。世尊!」

又告比丘:「若無常者,是苦不?」

比丘白佛:「是苦。世尊!」

「比丘!若無常、苦,是變易法,多聞聖弟子于中寧見有我、異我、相在不?」

比丘白佛:「不也,世尊!」

「受、想、行、識亦復如是。是故,比丘!所有諸色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切皆非我、不異我、不相在,是名如實正觀。受、想、行、識亦復如是。多聞聖弟子如是觀察,於色得解脫,于受、想、行、識得解脫。我說彼解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,純大苦聚。」

佛說此經時,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「色是無常,無常則苦,苦則非我;非我者,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在,如實知,是名正觀。受、想、行、識亦復如是。多聞聖弟子於此五受陰非我、非我所觀察;如是觀察,于諸世間都無所取,無所取故無所著,無所著故自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

佛陀告訴眾比丘:『色是常住的還是無常的呢?』 比丘回答佛陀:『是無常的,世尊!』 佛陀又告訴比丘:『如果無常,那是苦嗎?』 比丘回答佛陀:『是苦,世尊!』 『比丘們!如果無常、是苦,是變易之法,那麼有智慧的聖弟子會認為其中有我、異於我、或與我相關聯嗎?』 比丘回答佛陀:『不會的,世尊!』 『受、想、行、識也是如此。因此,比丘們!所有一切色,無論是過去、未來、現在,內在、外在,粗糙、細微,美好、醜陋,遙遠、臨近,它們都不是我,不異於我,不與我相關聯,這才是如實正確的觀察。受、想、行、識也是如此。有智慧的聖弟子這樣觀察,就能從色中解脫,從受、想、行、識中解脫。我說這種解脫能脫離生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,純粹的大苦聚集。』 佛陀說完這部經時,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (八四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『色是無常的,無常就是苦,苦就不是我;不是我的,那麼一切都不是我,不異於我,不與我相關聯,如實地知道這些,就叫做正確的觀察。受、想、行、識也是如此。有智慧的聖弟子觀察這五種受陰不是我,也不是我所擁有的;這樣觀察,對於世間的一切都無所執取,無所執取就不會有執著,沒有執著就能自覺涅槃:『我的生命已經結束,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來生。』』 佛陀說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (八五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

The Buddha said to the monks, 'Is form permanent or impermanent?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'Impermanent, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha further said to the monks, 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'It is suffering, Venerable Sir!' 'Monks! If it is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, would a well-taught noble disciple see in it 'I', 'mine', or 'related to me'?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'No, Venerable Sir!' 'So it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Therefore, monks! All forms, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, beautiful or ugly, far or near, all of them are not 'I', not 'mine', and not 'related to me'. This is called seeing things as they truly are. So it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. A well-taught noble disciple, observing in this way, is liberated from form, and liberated from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. I say that this liberation is from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair, a mass of pure suffering.' When the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. (84) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, 'Form is impermanent, and what is impermanent is suffering, and what is suffering is not-self; what is not-self, all of that is not 'I', not 'mine', and not 'related to me'. Knowing this as it truly is, is called right view. So it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. A well-taught noble disciple observes these five aggregates of clinging as not-self and not belonging to self; observing in this way, he does not grasp at anything in the world, and because he does not grasp, he is not attached, and because he is not attached, he realizes Nirvana: 'Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to be.' When the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. (85) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「比丘!於何所不見我、異我、相在?」

比丘白佛:「世尊為法根、法眼、法依,唯愿為說!諸比丘聞已,如說奉行。」

佛告比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。於色不見有我、異我、相在不?于受、想、行、識亦復如是。比丘!色為是常、無常耶?」

比丘白佛:「無常。世尊!」

佛言:「比丘!若無常者,是苦不?」

比丘白佛:「是苦。世尊!」

「比丘!若無常、苦,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于中見我、異我、相在不?」

比丘白佛:「不也,世尊!」

「受、想、行、識亦復如是。是故,比丘!諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在。受、想、行、識亦復如是。比丘!多聞聖弟子觀察五受陰非我、非我所。如是觀察者,于諸世間都無所取,無所取者無所著,無所著故自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若無常色有常者,彼色不應有病、有苦,亦不應於色有所求,欲令如是、不令如是。以色無常故,於色有病、有苦生,亦得不欲令如是、不令如是。受、想、行、識亦復如是。比丘!于意云何?色為常、為無常耶?」

比丘白佛:「無常

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『比丘們!在什麼地方你們看不到我、異於我、與我相關的存在呢?』 比丘們稟告佛陀:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠,唯愿為我們解說!眾比丘聽聞后,會如您所說奉行。』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。在色法中,你們看不到有我、異於我、與我相關的存在嗎?在受、想、行、識中也是如此。比丘們!色法是常還是無常呢?』 比丘們稟告佛陀:『是無常的,世尊!』 佛陀說:『比丘們!如果無常,那是苦嗎?』 比丘們稟告佛陀:『是苦的,世尊!』 『比丘們!如果無常、是苦、是變易之法,多聞的聖弟子會在其中看到有我、異於我、與我相關的存在嗎?』 比丘們稟告佛陀:『不會的,世尊!』 『受、想、行、識也是如此。因此,比丘們!所有色法,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是美好、醜陋,無論是遙遠、臨近,它們都不是我、不異於我、不與我相關。受、想、行、識也是如此。比丘們!多聞的聖弟子觀察五蘊不是我、不是我所擁有的。這樣觀察的人,對於世間的一切都無所執取,無所執取就不會有執著,沒有執著就能自覺涅槃:『我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來世。』 佛陀說完這部經,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (八六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果無常的色法是常的,那麼色法就不應該有病、有苦,也不應該對色法有所求,想要它這樣、不想要它那樣。因為色法是無常的,所以色法會有病、有苦產生,也會有不想要它這樣、不想要它那樣的想法。受、想、行、識也是如此。比丘們!你們認為如何?色法是常還是無常呢?』 比丘們稟告佛陀:『是無常的,世尊!』

English version: At that time, the World-Honored One said to the monks: 'Monks! In what do you not see a self, different from a self, or related to a self?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma. We beseech you to explain it! Having heard it, the monks will practice as you say.' The Buddha told the monks: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.

Because form is impermanent, sickness and suffering arise in form, and there is also the desire not to have it this way or not that way. It is the same with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Monks! What do you think? Is form permanent or impermanent?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'Impermanent, World-Honored One!'


。世尊!」

「比丘!無常為是苦不?」

比丘白佛:「不也,世尊!」

「受、想、行、識亦復如是。是故,比丘!諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、非我所如實知。受、想、行、識亦復如是。多聞聖弟子正觀於色,正觀已,於色生厭、離欲、不樂、解脫;受、想、行、識,生厭、離欲、不樂、解脫:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「色是苦。若色非是苦者,不應於色有病、有苦生,亦不欲令如是,亦不令不如是。以色是苦,以色是苦故,於色病生,亦得於色慾令如是、不令如是。受、想、行、識亦復如是。比丘!色為常、無常耶?」

現代漢語譯本:『世尊!』 『比丘!無常是苦嗎?』 比丘回答佛:『是苦,世尊!』 『比丘!如果無常、是苦,是變易之法,多聞的聖弟子會認為其中有我、異我、或相依存在嗎?』 比丘回答佛:『不會的,世尊!』 『受、想、行、識也是如此。因此,比丘!所有色,無論是過去、未來、現在,內在、外在,粗糙、細微,美好、醜陋,遙遠、臨近,它們都不是我,也不是我所擁有的,應當如實知曉。受、想、行、識也是如此。多聞的聖弟子正確地觀察色,觀察后,對色產生厭惡、離欲、不喜、解脫;對受、想、行、識,也產生厭惡、離欲、不喜、解脫:『我的生死已盡,梵行已立,該做的已做完,自己知道不再有來生。』 佛說完此經,眾比丘聽聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (八七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『色是苦。如果色不是苦,就不應該在色上有病、有苦產生,也不會希望它如此,也不會希望它不如是。因為色是苦,因為色是苦的緣故,在色上會產生病,也能夠令它如此、不令它如此。受、想、行、識也是如此。比丘!色是常還是無常呢?』 比丘回答佛:『是無常的,世尊!』 『比丘!無常是苦嗎?』 比丘回答佛:『是苦,世尊!』 『比丘!如果無常、是苦,是變易之法,多聞的聖弟子會認為其中有我、異我、或相依存在嗎?』 比丘回答佛:『不會的,世尊!』 『受、想、行、識也是如此。因此,比丘!所有色,無論是過去、未來、現在,內在、外在,粗糙、細微,美好、醜陋,遙遠、臨近,它們都不是我,不異於我,不相依存在,應當如實觀察。』

English version: 『Venerable Sir!』 『Monks! Is impermanence suffering?』 The monks replied to the Buddha, 『It is suffering, Venerable Sir!』 『Monks! If impermanence is suffering, and is subject to change, would a well-taught noble disciple see in it 『this is me,』 『this is mine,』 or 『this is my self』?』 The monks replied to the Buddha, 『No, Venerable Sir!』 『So it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Therefore, monks! All forms, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, beautiful or ugly, far or near, all of them are not 『me,』 not 『mine,』 as it should be truly known. So it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. A well-taught noble disciple, correctly observing form, having observed it, becomes disgusted with form, dispassionate, not delighted, and liberated; with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, he becomes disgusted, dispassionate, not delighted, and liberated: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, I know that there is no more rebirth.』 Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. (87) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta』s Grove, Anathapindika』s Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 『Form is suffering. If form were not suffering, there would not be sickness or suffering arising from form, nor would there be a desire for it to be this way or not this way. Because form is suffering, because form is suffering, sickness arises from form, and it is possible to make it this way or not this way. So it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Monks! Is form permanent or impermanent?』 The monks replied to the Buddha, 『Impermanent, Venerable Sir!』 『Monks! Is what is impermanent suffering?』 The monks replied to the Buddha, 『It is suffering, Venerable Sir!』 『Monks! If what is impermanent is suffering, and is subject to change, would a well-taught noble disciple see in it 『this is me,』 『this is mine,』 or 『this is my self』?』 The monks replied to the Buddha, 『No, Venerable Sir!』 『So it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Therefore, monks! All forms, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, beautiful or ugly, far or near, all of them are not 『me,』 not different from 『me,』 not dependent on 『me,』 as it should be truly observed.』


。受、想、行、識亦復如是。多聞聖弟子於色得解脫,于受、想、行、識得解脫;我說彼解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,純大苦聚。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有年少婆羅門名郁多羅,來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我常如法行乞,持用供養父母,令得樂離苦。世尊!我作如是,為多福不?」

佛告郁多羅:「實有多福。所以者何?若有如法乞求,供養父母,令其安樂,除苦惱者,實有大福。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「如汝于父母,  恭敬修供養,  現世名稱流,  命終生天上。」

佛說此經已,年少郁多羅歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有年少婆羅門名優波迦,來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!諸婆羅門常稱歎邪盛大會,沙門瞿曇亦複稱嘆邪盛大會不?」

佛告優波迦:「我不一向稱歎,或有邪盛大會可稱歎,或有邪盛大會不可稱歎

受、想、行、識也是如此。多聞的聖弟子對於色得到了解脫,對於受、想、行、識也得到了解脫;我說他們解脫了生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,純粹是巨大的苦聚。 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 雜阿含經卷第三 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 雜阿含經 雜阿含經卷第四 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (八八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫郁多羅的年輕婆羅門,來到佛陀所在的地方,與世尊互相問候慰勞后,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!我經常如法乞食,用所得來供養父母,讓他們得到快樂,遠離痛苦。世尊!我這樣做,是不是很有福報呢?』 佛告訴郁多羅:『確實很有福報。為什麼呢?如果有人如法乞求,供養父母,讓他們安樂,消除他們的苦惱,這確實是很大的福報。』這時,世尊就說了偈語: 『如你對父母,恭敬地修供養,現世名聲流傳,命終後生天上。』 佛說完這部經后,年輕的郁多羅歡喜隨喜,行禮后離開了。 (八九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫優波迦的年輕婆羅門,來到佛陀所在的地方,與世尊互相問候慰勞后,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『瞿曇!婆羅門們經常稱讚邪盛大會,沙門瞿曇也稱讚邪盛大會嗎?』 佛告訴優波迦:『我不是一概稱讚,有的邪盛大會可以稱讚,有的邪盛大會不可以稱讚。』

Sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness are also like this. A well-learned noble disciple is liberated from form, and is liberated from sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness; I say that they are liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering, a pure mass of great suffering. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Volume 3 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 02, No. 0099, Miscellaneous Agama Sutra The Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Volume 4 Translated by Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India (88) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, there was a young Brahmin named Uttara who came to where the Buddha was. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the World-Honored One, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! I often beg for alms according to the Dharma and use what I receive to support my parents, so that they may be happy and free from suffering. World-Honored One! Am I accumulating much merit by doing this?' The Buddha said to Uttara: 'Indeed, you are accumulating much merit. Why is that? If someone begs for alms according to the Dharma and supports their parents, bringing them happiness and removing their suffering, that is indeed a great merit.' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke a verse: 'As you respectfully make offerings to your parents, your good name will spread in this life, and after death, you will be reborn in heaven.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the young Uttara rejoiced and followed the teachings, bowed, and left. (89) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, there was a young Brahmin named Upaka who came to where the Buddha was. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the World-Honored One, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha: 'Gautama! The Brahmins often praise the evil grand assemblies. Does the Shramana Gautama also praise the evil grand assemblies?' The Buddha said to Upaka: 'I do not praise them all without exception. Some evil grand assemblies are praiseworthy, and some evil grand assemblies are not praiseworthy.'

優波迦白佛:「何等邪盛大會可稱歎?何等邪盛大會不可稱歎?」

佛告優波迦:「若邪盛大會系群少特牛、水特、水牸,及諸羊犢、小小眾生悉皆傷殺,逼迫苦切,僕使作人,鞭笞恐怛,悲泣號呼,不喜不樂,眾苦作役。如是等邪盛大會,我不稱歎,以造大難故。若復大會不繫縛群牛,乃至不令眾生辛苦作役者。如是邪盛大會,我所稱歎,以不造大難故。爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「馬祀等大會,  造諸大難事,  如是等邪盛,  大仙不稱歎。  繫縛諸眾生,  殺害微細蟲,  是非為正會,  大仙不隨順。  若不害眾生,  造作眾難者,  是等名正會,  大仙隨稱歎。  惠施修供養,  為應法邪盛,  施者清凈心,  梵行良福田。  如是大會者,  是則羅漢會,  是會得大果,  諸天皆歡喜。  自行恭敬請,  自手而施與,  彼我悉清凈,  是施得大果。  慧者如是施,  信心應解脫,  無罪樂世間,  智者往生彼。」

佛說此經已,優波迦婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(九〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園……廣說如上。差別者,謂隨說異偈言:

「無為無諸難,  邪盛時清凈,  如法隨順行,  攝護諸梵行。  馨香歸世界,  超過諸凡鄙,  佛于邪盛善,  稱歎此邪盛。  惠施修供養,  邪盛隨所應,  凈信平等施,  梵行良福田。  彼作如是施,  是施羅漢田,  如是廣大施,  諸天所稱歎

現代漢語譯本 優波迦問佛:『什麼樣的祭祀盛會值得稱讚?什麼樣的祭祀盛會不值得稱讚?』 佛告訴優波迦:『如果祭祀盛會中,捆綁大量的公牛、水牛、母牛,以及各種羊羔、幼小生物,全部加以傷害殺戮,逼迫它們痛苦不堪,驅使僕人勞作,鞭打恐嚇,使它們悲傷哭泣,不快樂,遭受各種苦役。這樣的祭祀盛會,我不稱讚,因為它會造成巨大的災難。如果祭祀盛會不捆綁牛群,甚至不讓眾生辛苦勞作。這樣的祭祀盛會,我所稱讚,因為它不會造成巨大的災難。』 當時,世尊即說偈語: 『馬祭等盛會, 造成各種大災難, 這樣的祭祀盛會, 大仙不稱讚。 捆綁各種眾生, 殺害微小蟲子, 這不是正當的祭祀, 大仙不隨順。 如果不傷害眾生, 不製造各種災難, 這樣的才叫正當的祭祀, 大仙隨之稱讚。 佈施修行供養, 爲了符合正法, 施者心清凈, 梵行是良田。 這樣的盛會, 是羅漢的聚會, 這樣的聚會得大果報, 諸天都歡喜。 自己恭敬地請, 親手佈施, 彼此都清凈, 這樣的佈施得大果報。 有智慧的人這樣佈施, 信心應當解脫, 無罪快樂地生活在世間, 智者往生彼岸。』 佛說完這部經后,優波迦婆羅門聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (九〇) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園……(內容同上)不同之處在於,這裡說了不同的偈語: 『無為沒有災難, 祭祀盛會時清凈, 如法隨順修行, 攝護各種梵行。 馨香傳遍世界, 超越各種凡俗, 佛對祭祀盛會善, 稱讚這樣的祭祀盛會。 佈施修行供養, 祭祀盛會隨所應, 以清凈的信心平等佈施, 梵行是良田。 他們這樣做佈施, 這樣的佈施是羅漢的福田, 這樣廣大的佈施, 諸天都稱讚。』

English version Upaka asked the Buddha: 'What kind of sacrificial gathering is praiseworthy? What kind of sacrificial gathering is not praiseworthy?' The Buddha told Upaka: 'If in a sacrificial gathering, many bulls, water buffaloes, cows, as well as various lambs and small creatures are bound, all harmed and killed, forced to suffer, driven to work as servants, whipped and threatened, causing them to cry in sorrow, be unhappy, and endure all kinds of hard labor. Such a sacrificial gathering, I do not praise, because it creates great calamity. If a sacrificial gathering does not bind cattle, and does not even make living beings work hard. Such a sacrificial gathering, I praise, because it does not create great calamity.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 'Sacrificial gatherings like horse sacrifices, create various great calamities, Such sacrificial gatherings, the great sage does not praise. Binding various living beings, killing tiny insects, This is not a proper sacrifice, the great sage does not follow. If one does not harm living beings, does not create various calamities, This is called a proper sacrifice, the great sage praises it. Giving alms and making offerings, to accord with the Dharma, The giver's mind is pure, Brahma practice is a good field. Such a gathering, is a gathering of Arhats, Such a gathering gains great rewards, the gods are all joyful. Respectfully inviting oneself, giving with one's own hands, Both are pure, such giving gains great rewards. Wise people give in this way, faith should be liberated, Living in the world without sin and with joy, the wise go to the other shore.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Upaka the Brahmin, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed and departed. (90) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti... (the content is the same as above) The difference is that here different verses are spoken: 'Without action, without calamities, the sacrificial gathering is pure, Following the Dharma in practice, protecting various Brahma practices. The fragrance spreads throughout the world, surpassing all the mundane, The Buddha is good at sacrificial gatherings, praising such sacrificial gatherings. Giving alms and making offerings, the sacrificial gathering is as it should be, Giving with pure faith and equality, Brahma practice is a good field. They make such offerings, such offerings are the field of Arhats, Such vast offerings, the gods praise.'


。  自行恭敬請,  自手而供養,  等攝自他故,  邪盛得大果。  慧者如是施,  凈信心解脫,  于無罪世界,  智者往生彼。」

佛說此經已,優波迦婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜作禮而去。

(九一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有年少婆羅門名郁阇迦,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!俗人在家當行幾法,得現法安及現法樂?」

佛告婆羅門:「有四法,俗人在家得現法安、現法樂。何等為四?謂方便具足、守護具足、善知識具足、正命具足。

「何等為方便具足?謂善男子種種工巧業處以自營生,謂種田、商賈,或以王事,或以書䟽算畫。于彼彼工巧業處精勤修行,是名方便具足。

「何等為守護具足?謂善男子所有錢穀,方便所得,自手執作,如法而得,能極守護,不令王、賊、水、火劫奪漂沒令失,不善守護者亡失,不愛念者輒取,及諸災患所壞,是名善男子善守護。

「何等為善知識具足?若有善男子不落度、不放逸、不虛妄、不兇險,如是知識能善安慰,未生憂苦能令不生,已生憂苦能令開覺,未生喜樂能令速生,已生喜樂護令不失,是名善男子善知識具足。

「云何為正命具足?謂善男子所有錢財出內稱量,周圓掌護,不令多入少出也、多出少入也。如執秤者,少則增之,多則減之,知平而舍

現代漢語譯本:自己恭敬地請求,親自用手供養,平等對待自己和他人,即使是微小的善行也能獲得巨大的果報。有智慧的人這樣佈施,以清凈的信心獲得解脫,在沒有罪惡的世界裡,智者往生到那裡。 佛陀說完這部經后,優波迦婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地行禮后離開了。 (九一) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫郁阇迦的年輕婆羅門來到佛陀那裡,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!在家俗人應當奉行哪些法,才能在今生獲得安樂和快樂?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『有四種法,在家俗人可以獲得今生的安樂和快樂。哪四種呢?就是方便具足、守護具足、善知識具足、正命具足。』 『什麼是方便具足呢?就是善男子通過各種工藝技能來謀生,比如耕種田地、經商,或者從事王室事務,或者從事書寫、計算、繪畫。在這些工藝技能方面勤奮修行,這就叫做方便具足。』 『什麼是守護具足呢?就是善男子通過方便所得的錢財,親自勞動所得,如法獲得的,能夠好好守護,不讓國王、盜賊、水災、火災搶奪或淹沒而損失,不善於守護的人會丟失,不愛惜的人會隨意拿走,以及被各種災禍破壞,這就叫做善男子善於守護。』 『什麼是善知識具足呢?如果善男子不墮落、不放逸、不虛妄、不兇險,這樣的知識能夠很好地安慰你,未產生的憂愁痛苦能夠使之不產生,已經產生的憂愁痛苦能夠使之開解覺悟,未產生的喜悅快樂能夠使之快速產生,已經產生的喜悅快樂能夠守護而不失去,這就叫做善男子善知識具足。』 『什麼是正命具足呢?就是善男子對於所有的錢財收入和支出,都要衡量得當,周全地管理,不讓收入多而支出少,也不讓支出多而收入少。就像拿著秤的人一樣,少了就增加,多了就減少,知道平衡就停止。』

English version: 'Respectfully requesting oneself, offering with one's own hands, treating oneself and others equally, even small good deeds can yield great results. The wise person gives in this way, attaining liberation with pure faith, and in a world without sin, the wise are reborn there.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Upaka the Brahmin, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully bowed and departed. (Ninety-one) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, a young Brahmin named Ujjaka came to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, what practices should a lay person follow to attain peace and happiness in this present life?' The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'There are four practices by which a lay person can attain peace and happiness in this present life. What are the four? They are: having the means, having protection, having good friends, and having right livelihood.' 'What is having the means? It is when a good man earns a living through various crafts and skills, such as farming, trading, or engaging in royal service, or writing, calculating, and drawing. Diligently practicing these crafts and skills is called having the means.' 'What is having protection? It is when a good man carefully protects the wealth he has obtained through his efforts, earned lawfully, not allowing it to be lost through kings, thieves, floods, or fires, or through carelessness, or by those who do not value it, or by various disasters. This is called a good man having protection.' 'What is having good friends? If a good man's friends are not fallen, not negligent, not deceitful, and not dangerous, such friends can comfort him well, preventing sorrow and suffering from arising, and if sorrow and suffering have arisen, they can help him understand and awaken. They can quickly bring about joy and happiness that have not yet arisen, and protect the joy and happiness that have already arisen from being lost. This is called a good man having good friends.' 'What is having right livelihood? It is when a good man manages all his income and expenses with proper measure, carefully overseeing them, not allowing income to be much more than expenses, nor expenses to be much more than income. Like a person holding a scale, if there is too little, they add to it, and if there is too much, they reduce it, knowing when it is balanced and then stopping.'


。如是,善男子稱量財物,等入等出,莫令入多出少、出多入少,若善男子無有錢財而廣散用,以此生活,人皆名為優曇缽果,無有種子,愚癡貪慾,不顧其後。或有善男子財物豐多,不能食用,傍人皆言是愚癡人如餓死狗。是故,善男子所有錢財能自稱量,等入等出,是名正命具足。如是,婆羅門!四法成就,現法安、現法樂。」

婆羅門白佛言:「世尊!在家之人有幾法,能令後世安、後世樂?」

佛告婆羅門:「在家之人有四法,能令後世安、後世樂。何等為四?謂信具足、戒具足、施具足、慧具足。

「何等為信具足?謂善男子于如來所,得信敬心,建立信本,非諸天、魔、梵及余世人同法所壞,是名善男子信具足。

「何等戒具足?謂善男子不殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語、不飲酒,是名戒具足。

「云何施具足?謂善男子離慳垢心,在於居家,行解脫施,常自手與,樂修行舍,等心行施,是名善男子施具足。

「云何為慧具足?謂善男子苦聖諦如實知,習、滅、道聖諦如實知,是名善男子慧具足。若善男子在家行此四法者,能得後世安、後世樂。」

爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「方便建諸業,  積集能守護,  知識善男子,  正命以自活。  凈信戒具足,  惠施離慳垢,  凈除于速道,  得後世安樂。  若處於居家,  成就於八法,  審諦尊所說,  等正覺所知。  現法得安隱,  現法喜樂住,  後世喜樂住。」

佛說此經已,郁阇迦聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去

現代漢語譯本:如此,善男子應當衡量財物,使其收入和支出相等,不要讓收入多於支出,也不要讓支出多於收入。如果善男子沒有錢財卻大手大腳地花費,以此為生,人們都會稱他為『優曇缽果』,沒有種子,愚癡貪婪,不顧後果。或者有善男子財物很多,卻不捨得享用,旁人都會說他是愚癡之人,如同餓死的狗。因此,善男子應當衡量自己的錢財,使其收入和支出相等,這才是正確的謀生方式。如此,婆羅門!成就這四種方法,就能在今生獲得安穩和快樂。 婆羅門問佛說:『世尊!在家之人要具備哪些方法,才能在來世獲得安穩和快樂?』 佛告訴婆羅門說:『在家之人有四種方法,能使他們在來世獲得安穩和快樂。是哪四種呢?就是:信仰具足、戒律具足、佈施具足、智慧具足。』 『什麼是信仰具足呢?就是善男子對於如來,生起敬信之心,建立堅固的信仰根基,不被諸天、魔、梵以及其他世俗之人所動搖,這叫做善男子信仰具足。』 『什麼是戒律具足呢?就是善男子不殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語、不飲酒,這叫做戒律具足。』 『什麼是佈施具足呢?就是善男子遠離慳吝之心,在家中修行佈施,經常親手給予,樂於修行捨棄,平等心地行佈施,這叫做善男子佈施具足。』 『什麼是智慧具足呢?就是善男子如實地知曉苦聖諦,如實地知曉集、滅、道聖諦,這叫做善男子智慧具足。如果善男子在家修行這四種方法,就能在來世獲得安穩和快樂。』 當時,世尊又說了偈語: 『善巧方便建立各種事業,積聚財富並能守護,有見識的善男子,以正當的方式謀生。』 『清凈的信仰和戒律具足,樂於佈施並遠離慳吝,清凈地走上解脫之道,就能在來世獲得安樂。』 『如果在家之人,成就這八種方法,仔細審視佛陀所說,這是等正覺者所知曉的。』 『今生獲得安穩,今生喜樂安住,來世也喜樂安住。』 佛說完這部經后,郁阇迦聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,頂禮而去。

English version: Thus, a virtuous man should measure his wealth, ensuring that income and expenditure are equal, not allowing income to exceed expenditure, nor expenditure to exceed income. If a virtuous man has no wealth but spends lavishly, living in this way, people will call him an 'Udumbara fruit,' without seeds, foolishly greedy, and disregarding the consequences. Or if a virtuous man has abundant wealth but is unwilling to use it, others will say he is a foolish person, like a dog that starves to death. Therefore, a virtuous man should measure his wealth, ensuring that income and expenditure are equal, this is called right livelihood. Thus, Brahmin! Accomplishing these four practices, one can attain peace and happiness in this life. The Brahmin asked the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir! What practices must a householder possess to attain peace and happiness in the next life?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'There are four practices for a householder that can lead to peace and happiness in the next life. What are the four? They are: complete faith, complete morality, complete generosity, and complete wisdom.' 'What is complete faith? It is when a virtuous man develops a respectful faith in the Tathagata, establishing a firm foundation of faith, which cannot be destroyed by gods, demons, Brahmas, or other worldly beings. This is called a virtuous man's complete faith.' 'What is complete morality? It is when a virtuous man does not kill, does not steal, does not engage in sexual misconduct, does not lie, and does not drink alcohol. This is called complete morality.' 'What is complete generosity? It is when a virtuous man is free from the defilement of stinginess, practices generosity while living at home, always gives with his own hands, enjoys practicing giving, and gives with an equal mind. This is called a virtuous man's complete generosity.' 'What is complete wisdom? It is when a virtuous man truly understands the Noble Truth of Suffering, and truly understands the Noble Truths of Origin, Cessation, and Path. This is called a virtuous man's complete wisdom. If a virtuous man practices these four practices while living at home, he can attain peace and happiness in the next life.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 'Skillfully establish various undertakings, accumulate wealth and be able to protect it, a wise virtuous man, lives by right livelihood.' 'Pure faith and complete morality, enjoys giving and is free from stinginess, purely walks the path of liberation, and can attain happiness in the next life.' 'If a householder, accomplishes these eight practices, carefully examines what the Buddha has said, this is known by the Fully Enlightened One.' 'Attains peace in this life, dwells in joy in this life, and dwells in joy in the next life.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Ujjaka heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed and departed.


(九二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,至舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,舍衛國有憍慢婆羅門止住,父母種姓俱凈,無瑕點能說者,七世相承悉皆清凈;為婆羅門師,言論通達,諸論記典悉了萬名,解法優劣,分明諸,句句記說,容貌端正。或生志高、族姓志高、容色志高、聰明志高、財富志高,不敬父母、諸尊、師長。聞沙門瞿曇在拘薩羅國人間遊行,至舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。聞已,作是念:「我當往彼沙門瞿曇所,若有所說,我當共論;無所說者,默然而還。」

時,憍慢婆羅門乘白馬車,諸年少婆羅門前後導從,持金柄傘蓋,手執金瓶,往見世尊。至於園門,下車步進。

爾時,世尊與諸大眾圍繞說法,不時顧念憍慢婆羅門。

時,憍慢婆羅門作是念:「沙門瞿曇不顧念我,且當還去。」

爾時,世尊知憍慢婆羅門心念,而說偈言:

「憍慢既來此,  不善更增慢,  向以義故來,  應轉增其義。」

時,憍慢婆羅門作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」欲脩敬禮。

爾時,世尊告憍慢婆羅門:「止!止!不須作禮,心凈已足。」

時,諸大眾咸各高聲唱言:「奇哉!世尊!大德大力。今此憍慢婆羅門恃生憍慢、族姓憍慢、容色憍慢、聰明憍慢、財富憍慢,不敬父母、諸尊、師長,今于沙門瞿曇所謙卑下下,欲接足禮

現代漢語譯本: (九二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀在拘薩羅國游化,到達舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,舍衛國有一位驕慢的婆羅門居住在那裡,他的父母血統純凈,沒有任何瑕疵,能言善辯,七代相傳都非常清凈;他是一位婆羅門導師,言辭通達,各種論典都瞭如指掌,能分辨法的優劣,清晰地解釋各種語句,容貌端正。他因為出身高貴、種姓高貴、容貌出衆、聰明過人、財富眾多而驕傲自滿,不尊敬父母、長輩和師長。他聽說沙門瞿曇在拘薩羅國游化,到達舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。聽聞后,他心想:『我應當去拜訪那位沙門瞿曇,如果他有什麼見解,我就和他辯論;如果他沒什麼可說的,我就默默地回去。』 當時,這位驕慢的婆羅門乘坐著白馬車,許多年輕的婆羅門跟隨著他,他們手持金柄傘蓋,拿著金瓶,前往拜見世尊。到達園門時,他下車步行進入。 當時,世尊正被大眾圍繞著說法,並沒有特別留意這位驕慢的婆羅門。 這時,驕慢的婆羅門心想:『沙門瞿曇不理睬我,我還是回去吧。』 這時,世尊知道驕慢的婆羅門的心思,就說了偈語: 『驕慢既然來到這裡,不善反而會增加驕慢,如果因為求法而來,就應該增長他的智慧。』 這時,驕慢的婆羅門心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思了。』他想要行禮。 這時,世尊告訴驕慢的婆羅門:『停!停!不必行禮,心清凈就足夠了。』 當時,大眾都高聲讚歎:『真是奇妙啊!世尊!您真是大德大能。這位驕慢的婆羅門,仗著出身驕傲、種姓驕傲、容貌驕傲、聰明驕傲、財富驕傲,不尊敬父母、長輩和師長,現在竟然在沙門瞿曇面前謙卑恭敬,想要行接足禮。』

English version: (Ninety-two) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the Kosala region and arrived at the Jeta Grove in Sravasti, the park of Anathapindika. At that time, there was an arrogant Brahmin residing in Sravasti. His parents were of pure lineage, without any blemishes, and he was eloquent. His family had maintained purity for seven generations. He was a Brahmin teacher, skilled in discourse, well-versed in various scriptures, able to discern the merits and demerits of the Dharma, and clearly explain each phrase. He was also handsome. He was arrogant due to his high birth, noble lineage, good looks, intelligence, and wealth, and he did not respect his parents, elders, or teachers. He heard that the ascetic Gautama was traveling in the Kosala region and had arrived at the Jeta Grove in Sravasti. Upon hearing this, he thought, 'I should go to that ascetic Gautama. If he has anything to say, I will debate with him; if he has nothing to say, I will silently return.' At that time, the arrogant Brahmin rode in a white horse-drawn carriage, with many young Brahmins leading and following him, holding golden-handled parasols and carrying golden pitchers. He went to see the World-Honored One. Upon reaching the gate of the park, he got out of the carriage and walked in. At that time, the World-Honored One was surrounded by the assembly, teaching the Dharma, and did not pay particular attention to the arrogant Brahmin. Then, the arrogant Brahmin thought, 'The ascetic Gautama is not paying attention to me; I should just go back.' Then, the World-Honored One, knowing the thoughts of the arrogant Brahmin, spoke a verse: 'Arrogance has come here, and unwholesomeness further increases arrogance. If one comes for the sake of the Dharma, one should increase their understanding of the Dharma.' Then, the arrogant Brahmin thought, 'The ascetic Gautama already knows my thoughts.' He wanted to pay his respects. Then, the World-Honored One said to the arrogant Brahmin, 'Stop! Stop! There is no need to pay respects; a pure heart is sufficient.' At that time, the assembly all exclaimed loudly, 'How marvelous! World-Honored One! You are of great virtue and power. This arrogant Brahmin, relying on his pride of birth, lineage, appearance, intelligence, and wealth, and not respecting his parents, elders, or teachers, is now humble and respectful before the ascetic Gautama, wanting to bow at his feet.'


。」

時,憍慢婆羅門于大眾前唱令靜默,而說偈言:

「云何不起慢?  云何起恭敬?  云何善慰諭?  云何善供養?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「父母及長兄,  和尚諸師長,  及諸尊重者,  所不應生慢。  應當善恭敬,  謙下而問訊,  盡心而奉事,  兼設諸供養。  離貪恚癡心,  漏盡阿羅漢,  正智善解脫,  伏諸憍慢心。  於此賢聖等,  合掌稽首禮。」

爾時,世尊為憍慢婆羅門種種說法,示、教、照、喜。如佛世尊次第說法,說佈施、持戒、生天功德,愛慾味患煩惱,清凈、出要、遠離,諸清凈分……如是廣說,如白凈衣無諸黑惡,速受染色。憍慢婆羅門即于座上解四聖諦——苦、習、滅、道,得無間等。

時,憍慢婆羅門見法、得法、知法、入法,度諸疑惑,不由他度,于正法中得無所畏。即從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛:「我今可得於正法中出家、受具足不?」

佛告憍慢婆羅門:「汝今可得於正法中出家、受具足。」

彼即出家,獨正思惟:「所以善男子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道……。」得阿羅漢,心善解脫。

(九三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,至舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有長身婆羅門,作如是邪盛大會——以七百特牛行列系柱,特、牸、水牛及諸羊犢、種種小蟲悉皆繫縛,辦諸飲食、廣行佈施,種種外道從諸國國皆悉來集邪盛會所

現代漢語譯本: 當時,驕慢的婆羅門在大眾面前唱誦,讓大家安靜,然後說了偈語: 『為何不生驕慢?為何要起恭敬?如何善加慰問?如何善加供養?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『父母和年長的兄長,和尚以及各位師長,還有那些值得尊敬的人,不應該對他們生起驕慢之心。 應當對他們恭敬,謙虛地問候,盡心盡力地侍奉,並準備各種供養。 遠離貪婪、嗔恨、愚癡之心,那些煩惱已盡的阿羅漢,擁有正確的智慧和解脫,降伏了各種驕慢之心。 對於這些賢聖之人,應當合掌稽首,行禮敬拜。』 當時,世尊為驕慢的婆羅門宣說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜。如同佛世尊依次說法,講述佈施、持戒、生天的功德,以及愛慾的滋味、禍患和煩惱,清凈、出離、遠離,各種清凈的修行……如此廣泛地宣說,就像潔白的衣服沒有污垢,很快就能被染色一樣。驕慢的婆羅門當即在座位上領悟了四聖諦——苦、集、滅、道,獲得了無間的智慧。 當時,驕慢的婆羅門見到了法、得到了法、瞭解了法、進入了法,度脫了各種疑惑,不再需要他人引導,在正法中獲得了無所畏懼。他立即從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛說:『我現在可以在正法中出家、受具足戒嗎?』 佛陀告訴驕慢的婆羅門:『你現在可以在正法中出家、受具足戒。』 他隨即出家,獨自正思惟:『所以善男子剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信離開家庭,出家學道……』最終證得阿羅漢果,心得到徹底的解脫。 (九三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀在拘薩羅地區游化,到達舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位身材高大的婆羅門,舉行了這樣一場邪惡的盛大祭祀——用七百頭公牛排列繫在柱子上,公牛、母牛、水牛以及各種羊羔、各種小蟲都被捆綁起來,準備各種飲食,廣泛地進行佈施,各種外道從各個國家都聚集到這個邪惡的盛會場所。

English version: At that time, the arrogant Brahmin chanted before the assembly to make them silent, and then spoke in verse: 'Why not arise arrogance? Why arise respect? How to console well? How to offer well?' Then, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'Parents and elder brothers, monks and all teachers, and those who are worthy of respect, one should not harbor arrogance towards them. One should be respectful, humbly greet them, serve them wholeheartedly, and prepare various offerings. Away from greed, hatred, and delusion, those Arhats who have exhausted their afflictions, possess correct wisdom and liberation, and have subdued all arrogance. Towards these virtuous and holy ones, one should join palms, bow the head, and pay homage.' At that time, the World Honored One expounded various teachings for the arrogant Brahmin, revealing, instructing, illuminating, and delighting him. Just as the Buddha sequentially taught, speaking of the merits of giving, keeping precepts, and being born in heaven, as well as the taste, suffering, and afflictions of desire, purity, renunciation, and detachment, various aspects of pure practice... He spoke so extensively, like a white cloth without any blackness, quickly receiving color. The arrogant Brahmin immediately understood the Four Noble Truths—suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path—while sitting there, and attained uninterrupted wisdom. At that time, the arrogant Brahmin saw the Dharma, attained the Dharma, understood the Dharma, and entered the Dharma, crossing over all doubts, no longer needing others to guide him, and gaining fearlessness in the true Dharma. He immediately rose from his seat, adjusted his robes, bowed to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'May I now be allowed to leave home and receive full ordination in the true Dharma?' The Buddha told the arrogant Brahmin: 'You may now leave home and receive full ordination in the true Dharma.' He then left home, contemplating alone: 'Therefore, a good man shaves his beard and hair, puts on the monastic robe, leaves his home with true faith, and goes forth to learn the Way...' He finally attained Arhatship, and his mind was completely liberated. (93) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the Kosala region, and arrived at the Jeta Grove in Sravasti, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, there was a tall Brahmin who was holding such an evil grand festival—seven hundred bulls were lined up and tied to posts, bulls, cows, water buffaloes, and various lambs and small insects were all bound, preparing various foods, and widely giving alms, various heretics from various countries all gathered at this evil festival.


時,長身婆羅門聞沙門瞿曇從拘薩羅人間遊行,至舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。作是念:「我今辦邪盛大會,所以七百特牛行列系柱,乃至小小諸蟲皆悉繫縛。為邪盛大會故,種種異道從諸國國來至會所。我今當往沙門瞿曇所問邪盛法,莫令我作邪盛大會,分數中有所短少。」作是念已,乘白馬車,諸年少婆羅門前後導從,持金柄傘蓋,執金澡瓶,出舍衛城,詣世尊所,恭敬承事。至精舍門,下車步進,至於佛前,面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!我今欲作邪盛大會,以七百特牛行列系柱,乃至小小諸蟲皆悉繫縛。為邪盛大會故,種種異道從諸國國皆悉來至邪盛會所。又聞瞿曇從拘薩羅人間遊行,至舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。我今故來請問瞿曇邪盛大會法諸物分數,莫令我所作邪盛大會諸分數之中有所短少。」

佛告婆羅門:「或有一邪盛大會主行施作福而生於罪,為三刀劍之所刻削,得不善果報。何等三?謂身刀劍、口刀劍、意刀劍。

「何等為意刀劍生諸苦報?如一會主造作大會,作是思惟:『我作邪盛大會,當殺爾所少壯特牛,爾所水特、水牸,爾所羊犢及種種諸蟲。』是名意刀劍生諸苦報。如是施主雖唸作種種佈施、種種供養,實生於罪!

「云何為口刀劍生諸苦報?有一會主造作大會,作如是教:『我今作邪盛大會,汝等當殺爾所少壯特牛,乃至殺害爾所微細蟲

現代漢語譯本:當時,一位身材高大的婆羅門聽說沙門瞿曇從拘薩羅地區來到舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。他心想:『我現在要舉辦一個盛大的祭祀大會,為此七百頭壯牛被排列繫在柱子上,甚至連微小的蟲子都被捆綁起來。爲了這個祭祀大會,各種不同的修行者從各個國家來到會場。我應該去沙門瞿曇那裡請教關於祭祀的正確方法,以免我舉辦的祭祀大會在數量上有所缺失。』他這樣想著,就乘坐著白馬車,帶著一群年輕的婆羅門,前後簇擁著,拿著金柄傘蓋,拿著金澡瓶,離開舍衛城,前往世尊所在的地方,恭敬地侍奉。到達精舍門口,他下車步行進入,來到佛陀面前,互相問候慰勞之後,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇!我現在想舉辦一個盛大的祭祀大會,為此七百頭壯牛被排列繫在柱子上,甚至連微小的蟲子都被捆綁起來。爲了這個祭祀大會,各種不同的修行者從各個國家都來到祭祀會場。我又聽說瞿曇從拘薩羅地區來到舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。所以我特地前來請教瞿曇關於祭祀大會的正確方法和物品數量,以免我舉辦的祭祀大會在數量上有所缺失。』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『有些人舉辦盛大的祭祀大會,表面上是行善積福,實際上卻造下罪業,被三種刀劍所傷害,得到不好的果報。這三種刀劍是什麼呢?就是身刀劍、口刀劍和意刀劍。』 『什麼是意刀劍帶來痛苦的果報呢?比如一個祭祀大會的主持者在舉辦大會時,心裡想著:『我舉辦這個盛大的祭祀大會,要殺掉這麼多壯牛,這麼多水牛,這麼多母牛,這麼多小羊,以及各種各樣的蟲子。』這就是意刀劍帶來痛苦的果報。這樣的施主雖然想著做各種佈施、各種供養,實際上卻是在造罪!』 『什麼是口刀劍帶來痛苦的果報呢?一個祭祀大會的主持者在舉辦大會時,這樣教導別人:『我現在要舉辦盛大的祭祀大會,你們應當殺掉這麼多壯牛,甚至殺害這麼多微小的蟲子。』

English version: At that time, a tall Brahmin heard that the Shramana Gautama had come from the Kosala region to the Jeta Grove in Shravasti. He thought, 'I am now going to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony, for which seven hundred strong bulls are lined up and tied to posts, and even tiny insects are bound. For this sacrificial ceremony, various ascetics from different countries are coming to the venue. I should go to Shramana Gautama to inquire about the correct method of sacrifice, lest my sacrificial ceremony be deficient in quantity.' Thinking this, he rode in a white horse-drawn carriage, with a group of young Brahmins leading and following him, holding gold-handled umbrellas and gold water pitchers. He left Shravasti and went to where the World Honored One was, respectfully attending to him. Arriving at the gate of the monastery, he got out of the carriage and walked in, coming before the Buddha. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! I now want to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony, for which seven hundred strong bulls are lined up and tied to posts, and even tiny insects are bound. For this sacrificial ceremony, various ascetics from different countries are coming to the sacrificial venue. I have also heard that Gautama has come from the Kosala region to the Jeta Grove in Shravasti. Therefore, I have come specifically to ask Gautama about the correct method and quantity of items for the sacrificial ceremony, lest my sacrificial ceremony be deficient in quantity.' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'Some people hold grand sacrificial ceremonies, ostensibly performing good deeds and accumulating merit, but in reality, they create sins and are harmed by three swords, receiving bad karmic consequences. What are these three swords? They are the sword of the body, the sword of the mouth, and the sword of the mind.' 'What is the sword of the mind that brings painful consequences? For example, a host of a sacrificial ceremony, while holding the ceremony, thinks in his mind, 'I am holding this grand sacrificial ceremony, and I will kill so many strong bulls, so many water buffaloes, so many cows, so many lambs, and various kinds of insects.' This is the sword of the mind that brings painful consequences. Such a donor, although thinking of making various offerings and donations, is actually creating sins!' 'What is the sword of the mouth that brings painful consequences? A host of a sacrificial ceremony, while holding the ceremony, instructs others like this: 'I am now holding a grand sacrificial ceremony, and you should kill so many strong bulls, and even kill so many tiny insects.'


。』是名口刀劍生諸苦報,大會主雖作是佈施、供養,實生於罪!

「云何為身刀劍生諸苦報?謂有一大會主造作大會,自手傷殺爾所特牛,乃至殺害種種細蟲,是名身刀劍生諸苦報。彼大會主雖作是念種種佈施、種種供養,實生於罪!

「然婆羅門當勤供養三火,隨時恭敬,禮拜奉事,施其安樂。何等為三?一者根本,二者居家,三者福田。

「何者為根本火?隨時恭敬,奉事供養,施其安樂?謂善男子方便得財,手足勤苦,如法所得,供養父母,令得安樂,是名根本火。何故名為根本?若善男子從彼而生,所謂父母,故名根本。善男子以崇本故,隨時恭敬,奉事供養,施以安樂。

「何等為居家火?善男子隨時育養,施以安樂?謂善男子方便得財,手足勤苦,如法所得,供給妻子、宗親、眷屬、僕使、傭客,隨時給與,恭敬施安,是名家火。何故名家?其善男子處於居家,樂則同樂,苦則同苦,在所為作皆相順從,故名為家。是故善男子隨時供給,施與安樂。

「何等名田火?善男子隨時恭敬,尊重供養,施其安樂?謂善男子方便得財,手足勤勞,如法所得,奉事供養諸沙門、婆羅門,善能調伏貪、恚、癡者,如是等沙門、婆羅門,建立福田,崇向增進,樂分樂報,未來生天,是名田火。何故名田?為世福田,謂為應供,是故名田。是善男子隨時恭敬,奉事供養,施其安樂。」爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「根本及居家,  應供福田火,  是火增供養,  充足安隱樂

現代漢語譯本:『以身口刀劍殺生所帶來的痛苦報應,即使大會的主持者進行佈施和供養,實際上也是在造罪!』 『什麼是以身口刀劍殺生所帶來的痛苦報應呢?就是說,有一個大會的主持者舉辦大會,親手宰殺許多牛,甚至殺害各種細小的蟲子,這就是以身口刀劍殺生所帶來的痛苦報應。這位大會主持者即使心中想著各種佈施、各種供養,實際上也是在造罪!』 『然而,婆羅門應當勤勉地供養三火,隨時恭敬,禮拜奉事,給予安樂。哪三種火呢?一是根本火,二是居家火,三是福田火。』 『什麼是根本火?如何隨時恭敬,奉事供養,給予安樂呢?就是說,善男子通過努力工作,用正當手段獲得的財富,用來供養父母,使他們得到安樂,這就是根本火。為什麼稱為根本?因為善男子是從父母那裡出生的,所以稱為根本。善男子因為崇敬根本,所以隨時恭敬,奉事供養,給予他們安樂。』 『什麼是居家火?善男子如何隨時養育,給予安樂呢?就是說,善男子通過努力工作,用正當手段獲得的財富,用來供給妻子、宗親、眷屬、僕人、傭工,隨時給予他們,恭敬地給予安樂,這就是居家火。為什麼稱為居家?因為善男子身處家庭,快樂時一同快樂,痛苦時一同痛苦,所作所為都互相順從,所以稱為居家。因此,善男子應當隨時供給,給予安樂。』 『什麼是田火?善男子如何隨時恭敬,尊重供養,給予安樂呢?就是說,善男子通過努力工作,用正當手段獲得的財富,用來奉事供養那些能夠調伏貪、嗔、癡的沙門和婆羅門,這些沙門和婆羅門建立了福田,崇尚增進,樂於分享快樂和回報,未來能夠昇天,這就是田火。為什麼稱為田?因為他們是世間的福田,是應該接受供養的人,所以稱為田。這位善男子應當隨時恭敬,奉事供養,給予他們安樂。』這時,世尊又說了偈語: 『根本以及居家,應供福田之火,這些火應增供養,充足安穩快樂。』

English version: 'The painful retribution caused by killing with body, speech, and sword, even if the host of the assembly makes offerings and donations, is actually creating sin!' 'What is the painful retribution caused by killing with body, speech, and sword? It means that a host of an assembly organizes a gathering, personally slaughters many cattle, and even kills various tiny insects. This is the painful retribution caused by killing with body, speech, and sword. Even if this host of the assembly thinks of various donations and offerings, he is actually creating sin!' 'However, Brahmins should diligently offer to the three fires, always respectfully, worshipfully, and giving them peace. What are the three fires? One is the root fire, the second is the household fire, and the third is the field of merit fire.' 'What is the root fire? How to always respectfully, serve, offer, and give peace? It means that a good man, through hard work and by lawful means, obtains wealth and uses it to support his parents, bringing them peace. This is the root fire. Why is it called the root? Because the good man is born from his parents, therefore it is called the root. Because the good man respects the root, he always respectfully serves, offers, and gives them peace.' 'What is the household fire? How does a good man always nurture and give peace? It means that a good man, through hard work and by lawful means, obtains wealth and uses it to provide for his wife, relatives, family members, servants, and hired workers, always giving to them, respectfully giving them peace. This is the household fire. Why is it called the household? Because the good man lives in the household, shares joy in happiness, shares suffering in pain, and all actions are mutually compliant, therefore it is called the household. Therefore, the good man should always provide and give peace.' 'What is the field of merit fire? How does a good man always respectfully, honor, offer, and give peace? It means that a good man, through hard work and by lawful means, obtains wealth and uses it to serve and offer to those monks and Brahmins who can subdue greed, anger, and ignorance. These monks and Brahmins establish a field of merit, aspire to progress, are happy to share joy and rewards, and will be reborn in heaven in the future. This is the field of merit fire. Why is it called the field? Because they are the field of merit for the world, they are the ones who should receive offerings, therefore it is called the field. This good man should always respectfully serve, offer, and give them peace.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse: 'The root and the household, the fire of the field of merit, these fires should be increased with offerings, providing sufficient peace and happiness.'


。  無罪樂世間,  慧者往生彼,  如法財復會,  供養所應養。  供養應養故,  生天得名稱。

「然,婆羅門!今善男子先所供養三火應斷令滅。何等為三?謂貪慾火、瞋恚火、愚癡火。所以者何?若貪火不斷不滅者,自害害他,自他俱害,現法得罪,後世得罪,現法後世得罪,緣彼而生心法憂苦,恚火、癡火亦復如是。婆羅門!若善男子事積薪火,隨時辛苦,隨時然,隨時滅火因緣受苦。」

爾時,長身婆羅門默然而住。

時,有婆羅門子名郁多羅,于會中坐。

長身婆羅門須臾默然,思惟已,告郁多羅:「汝能往至邪盛會所,放彼系柱特牛及諸眾生受繫縛者,悉皆放不?而告之言:『長身婆羅門語汝:「隨意自在,山澤曠野,食不斷草,飲凈流水,四方風中受諸快樂。」』」

郁多羅白言:「隨大師教!」即往彼邪盛會所放諸眾生,而告之言:「長身婆羅門語汝:『隨其所樂,山澤曠野,飲水食草,四風自適。』」

爾時,世尊知郁多羅。知已,為長身婆羅門種種說法,示、教、照、喜。如律,世尊說法先後,說戒、說施及生天功德,愛慾味患,出要、清凈、煩惱清凈,開示現顯。譬如鮮凈白㲲易受染色,長身婆羅門亦復如是。即于座上見四真諦,得無間等。

時,長身婆羅門見法、得法、知法、入法,度諸疑惑,不由他度,于正法中得無所畏。即從座起,整衣服,偏袒右肩,合掌白佛:「已度,世尊!我從今日盡其壽命,歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧,為優婆塞,證知我。唯愿世尊與諸大眾受我飯食

現代漢語譯本 無罪之人樂於世間,有智慧的人往生彼岸。 如法獲得的財富會再次聚集,用來供養那些應該供養的人。 因為供養那些應該供養的人,他們會升天並獲得美名。 『然而,婆羅門!現在,善男子先前所供養的三火應該斷滅。哪三火呢?就是貪慾之火、嗔恚之火、愚癡之火。為什麼呢?如果貪火不斷滅,就會自害害他,自他俱害,今生得罪,來世得罪,今生來世都得罪,因此而生起心裡的憂愁和痛苦。嗔火、癡火也是如此。婆羅門!如果善男子只是忙於堆積柴火,隨時辛苦,隨時點燃,隨時熄滅,就會因為這些因緣而受苦。』 當時,長身婆羅門沉默不語。 這時,有一位婆羅門子名叫郁多羅,坐在會中。 長身婆羅門沉默片刻,思考後,告訴郁多羅:『你能去邪盛會所,放開那些被繫住的特牛和所有被束縛的眾生嗎?並且告訴他們:「長身婆羅門告訴你們:『隨意自在,在山澤曠野,吃不盡的草,喝清凈的流水,在四方風中享受快樂。』」』 郁多羅回答說:『遵從大師的教導!』隨即前往邪盛會所,放開所有眾生,並告訴他們:『長身婆羅門告訴你們:「隨你們所樂,在山澤曠野,飲水吃草,自由自在。」』 當時,世尊知道郁多羅的心意。知道后,為長身婆羅門宣說種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜。按照佛法次第,世尊先說戒律,再說佈施和昇天的功德,以及愛慾的過患,出離之道、清凈之道、煩惱清凈之道,開示顯明。譬如潔凈的白布容易被染色,長身婆羅門也是如此。當即在座位上見到四聖諦,獲得無間等正覺。 當時,長身婆羅門見法、得法、知法、入法,度脫一切疑惑,不需他人引導,在正法中獲得無所畏懼。隨即從座位起身,整理衣服,袒露右肩,合掌對佛說:『我已經度脫了,世尊!我從今天起,直到生命結束,皈依佛、皈依法、皈依比丘僧,成為優婆塞,請您證明我。唯愿世尊和諸位大眾接受我的供養。』

English version The innocent rejoice in the world, the wise go to the other shore. Righteous wealth will gather again, to be used to support those who should be supported. Because they support those who should be supported, they will be born in heaven and gain a good name. 'However, Brahmin! Now, the three fires that a good man previously worshipped should be extinguished. What are these three? They are the fire of greed, the fire of hatred, and the fire of ignorance. Why is that? If the fire of greed is not extinguished, it will harm oneself and others, harm both oneself and others, bring sin in this life, sin in the next life, and sin in both this life and the next, thus causing mental sorrow and suffering. The fires of hatred and ignorance are the same. Brahmin! If a good man is only busy piling up firewood, working hard to light it and extinguish it, he will suffer because of these causes.' At that time, the long-bodied Brahmin remained silent. Then, there was a Brahmin son named Uttara, sitting in the assembly. The long-bodied Brahmin was silent for a moment, and after thinking, he said to Uttara: 'Can you go to the place of the evil sacrifice, release those special oxen that are tied up and all the beings that are bound? And tell them: 「The long-bodied Brahmin tells you: 『Be free, in the mountains and wilderness, eat endless grass, drink pure water, and enjoy happiness in the four winds.』」' Uttara replied: 'I will follow the master's teachings!' He immediately went to the place of the evil sacrifice, released all the beings, and told them: 'The long-bodied Brahmin tells you: 「As you please, in the mountains and wilderness, drink water and eat grass, be free and comfortable.」' At that time, the World Honored One knew Uttara's mind. After knowing, he preached various teachings to the long-bodied Brahmin, showing, teaching, illuminating, and delighting him. According to the Dharma order, the World Honored One first spoke of the precepts, then of giving and the merits of being born in heaven, as well as the faults of desire, the path of liberation, the path of purity, and the path of purifying afflictions, revealing them clearly. Just as a clean white cloth is easily dyed, so was the long-bodied Brahmin. He immediately saw the Four Noble Truths in his seat and attained the Uninterrupted Enlightenment. At that time, the long-bodied Brahmin saw the Dharma, attained the Dharma, knew the Dharma, entered the Dharma, transcended all doubts, did not need others to guide him, and gained fearlessness in the Right Dharma. He immediately rose from his seat, adjusted his clothes, bared his right shoulder, and with his palms together, said to the Buddha: 'I have been liberated, World Honored One! From today until the end of my life, I take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, and take refuge in the Sangha, becoming a lay disciple, please acknowledge me. I wish that the World Honored One and all the assembly would accept my offering of food.'


。爾時,世尊默然而許。」

時,長身婆羅門知佛受請已,為佛作禮,右繞三匝而去。長身婆羅門還邪盛處,所諸供辦凈美好者,佈置床座,遣使請佛,白言:「時到,惟聖知時。」

爾時,世尊著衣持缽,大眾圍繞,往到長身婆羅門會所,大眾前坐。

時,長身婆羅門知世尊坐定已,手自供養種種飲食。食已,澡漱洗缽畢,別敷卑床,于大眾前端坐聽法。

爾時,世尊為長身婆羅門說種種法,示、教、照、喜已,從座起而去。

(九四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有年少婆羅門名僧迦羅,來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!不善男子云何可知?」

佛告婆羅門:「譬猶如月。」

婆羅門復問:「善男子云何可知?」

佛告婆羅門:「譬猶如月。」

婆羅門白佛:「云何不善男子如月?」

佛告婆羅門:「如月黑分,光明亦失,色亦失,所繫亦失,日夜消滅,乃至不現。如是,有人于如來所,得信家心,受持凈戒,善學多聞,損己佈施,正見真實。于如來所凈信、持戒、惠施、多聞、正見真直已,然後退失,于戒、聞、施、正見悉皆忘失,日夜消滅,乃至須臾,一切忘失。

「複次,婆羅門!若善男子不習近善知識,不數聞法,不正思惟,身行惡行,口行惡行,意行惡行。行惡因緣故,身壞命終,墮惡趣泥梨中。如是,婆羅門!不善男子其譬如月

現代漢語譯本:

那時,世尊默許了。

當時,長身婆羅門知道佛陀接受了他的邀請,便向佛陀行禮,右繞佛陀三圈后離去。長身婆羅門回到自己的住所,將所有準備好的乾淨美好的供品、床座佈置妥當,然後派使者去請佛陀,稟告說:『時間到了,請聖者知曉。』

那時,世尊穿好衣服,拿著缽,在大眾的簇擁下,前往長身婆羅門的住所,在大眾前坐下。

當時,長身婆羅門知道世尊已經坐定,便親自供養各種飲食。用完餐后,洗漱完畢,洗凈缽,另外鋪設矮床,在大眾前面坐下聽法。

那時,世尊為長身婆羅門宣說了各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜后,便從座位起身離去。

(九四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位名叫僧迦羅的年輕婆羅門來到佛陀的住所,與世尊互相問候慰勞后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇!如何才能知道一個人是不善的男子呢?』

佛陀告訴婆羅門:『譬如月亮。』

婆羅門又問:『如何才能知道一個人是善良的男子呢?』

佛陀告訴婆羅門:『譬如月亮。』

婆羅門對佛陀說:『為什麼說不善的男子像月亮呢?』

佛陀告訴婆羅門:『就像月亮的黑夜部分,光明也消失了,顏色也消失了,所依附的也消失了,日夜消減,乃至完全不見。同樣,有的人在如來這裡,生起信心,受持清凈的戒律,勤奮學習佛法,捨棄自己的財物佈施,持有正確的見解。在如來這裡,對佛法產生清凈的信心,持守戒律,樂於佈施,勤奮學習,持有正確的見解后,然後又退失了,對於戒律、佛法、佈施、正見全部都忘失了,日夜消減,乃至片刻之間,全部忘失。

『再者,婆羅門!如果善良的男子不親近善知識,不經常聽聞佛法,不正確地思考,身體做惡行,口裡說惡語,心裡想惡念。因為做惡的緣故,身壞命終后,墮入惡道地獄中。像這樣,婆羅門!不善的男子就像月亮一樣。』 現代漢語譯本:

『善男子,譬如月亮,光明增長,顏色增長,所依附的也增長,日夜增長,乃至圓滿。同樣,有的人在如來這裡,生起信心,受持清凈的戒律,勤奮學習佛法,捨棄自己的財物佈施,持有正確的見解。在如來這裡,對佛法產生清凈的信心,持守戒律,樂於佈施,勤奮學習,持有正確的見解后,然後更加增長,對於戒律、佛法、佈施、正見全部都增長,日夜增長,乃至圓滿。

『再者,婆羅門!如果善良的男子親近善知識,經常聽聞佛法,正確地思考,身體做善行,口裡說善語,心裡想善念。因為做善的緣故,身壞命終后,升入善道天界中。像這樣,婆羅門!善良的男子就像月亮一樣。』

當時,僧迦羅婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,心生歡喜,隨喜讚歎,從座位起身,向佛陀行禮,右繞佛陀三圈后離去。

English version:

At that time, the World-Honored One remained silent in assent.

Then, the long-bodied Brahmin, knowing that the Buddha had accepted his invitation, bowed to the Buddha, circumambulated him three times to the right, and departed. The long-bodied Brahmin returned to his dwelling, arranged all the clean and beautiful offerings and seats, and sent a messenger to invite the Buddha, saying, 'The time has come, may the Holy One know the time.'

At that time, the World-Honored One, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, went to the long-bodied Brahmin's dwelling, surrounded by the assembly, and sat down before the assembly.

Then, the long-bodied Brahmin, knowing that the World-Honored One was seated, personally offered various foods. After eating, he washed his mouth and rinsed his bowl, then laid out a low seat and sat down in front of the assembly to listen to the Dharma.

At that time, the World-Honored One spoke various teachings to the long-bodied Brahmin, instructing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening him, and then rose from his seat and departed.

(94)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, a young Brahmin named Sangara came to the Buddha's dwelling, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the World-Honored One, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Gautama, how can one know an unwholesome man?'

The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'It is like the moon.'

The Brahmin asked again, 'How can one know a wholesome man?'

The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'It is like the moon.'

The Brahmin said to the Buddha, 'How is an unwholesome man like the moon?'

The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'Like the dark part of the moon, the light is lost, the color is lost, what is attached is lost, it diminishes day and night, until it disappears completely. Similarly, a person who, in the presence of the Tathagata, gains faith, upholds pure precepts, diligently studies the Dharma, gives away their possessions in charity, and holds true views. Having gained pure faith in the Tathagata, upheld precepts, given generously, studied diligently, and held true views, they then regress, forgetting all about precepts, the Dharma, charity, and right views, diminishing day and night, until in a moment, they forget everything.

'Furthermore, Brahmin, if an unwholesome man does not associate with good teachers, does not frequently hear the Dharma, does not think correctly, engages in evil actions with his body, speaks evil words with his mouth, and thinks evil thoughts with his mind. Because of these evil actions, when his body breaks and he dies, he falls into the evil realm of hell. Thus, Brahmin, an unwholesome man is like the moon.' English version:

'A wholesome man, like the moon, the light increases, the color increases, what is attached increases, it increases day and night, until it is full. Similarly, a person who, in the presence of the Tathagata, gains faith, upholds pure precepts, diligently studies the Dharma, gives away their possessions in charity, and holds true views. Having gained pure faith in the Tathagata, upheld precepts, given generously, studied diligently, and held true views, they then increase further, all about precepts, the Dharma, charity, and right views increase, increasing day and night, until they are full.

'Furthermore, Brahmin, if a wholesome man associates with good teachers, frequently hears the Dharma, thinks correctly, engages in good actions with his body, speaks good words with his mouth, and thinks good thoughts with his mind. Because of these good actions, when his body breaks and he dies, he ascends to the good realm of heaven. Thus, Brahmin, a wholesome man is like the moon.'

At that time, the Brahmin Sangara, having heard what the Buddha had said, was filled with joy, rejoiced in praise, rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, circumambulated him three times to the right, and departed.


。」

婆羅門白佛:「云何善男子其譬如月?」

佛告婆羅門:「譬如明月凈分光明,色澤日夜增明,乃至月滿,一切圓凈。如是,善男子于如來法、律得凈信心,乃至正見真凈增明,戒增、施增、聞增、慧增,日夜增長;復于余時親近善知識,聞說正法,內正思惟,行身善行,行口善行,行意善行故,以是因緣,身壞命終,化生天上。婆羅門!是故善男子譬如月。」

爾時,世尊而說偈言:

「譬如月無垢,  周行于虛空,  一切小星中,  其光最盛明。  凈信亦如是,  戒聞離慳施,  于諸慳世間,  其施特明顯。」

佛說此經已,僧迦羅婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起而去。

(九五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有生聞婆羅門來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!我聞瞿曇說言:『唯應施我,不應施餘人;施我得大果,非施餘人而得大果。應施我弟子,不應施余弟子;施我弟子得大果報,非施余弟子得大果報。』云何?瞿曇!作是語者,為實說耶?非為謗毀瞿曇乎?為如說說、如法說耶?法次法說,不為餘人以同法來訶責耶?」

佛告婆羅門:「彼如是說者,謗毀我耳!非如說說、如法說、法次法說,不致他人來以同法呵責。所以者何?我不如是說:『應施於我,不應施余;施我得大果報,非施餘人得大果報。應施我弟子,施我弟子得大果報,非施余弟子得大果報。』然,婆羅門!我作如是說者,作二種障:障施者施、障受者利

現代漢語譯本 婆羅門問佛:『為什麼說善男子像月亮呢?』 佛告訴婆羅門:『譬如明亮的月亮,其光輝潔凈,色澤日夜增明,乃至月圓時,一切都圓滿清凈。同樣,善男子對於如來的法和律生起清凈的信心,乃至正見真正清凈而日益增明,戒律增長、佈施增長、聞法增長、智慧增長,日夜增長;又在其他時候親近善知識,聽聞正法,內心正確地思考,行為上行善,言語上行善,意念上行善,因此,身壞命終后,便化生到天上。婆羅門!所以說善男子像月亮。』 當時,世尊說了偈語: 『譬如月亮沒有污垢,在虛空中執行,在一切小星中,它的光芒最為明亮。清凈的信心也是如此,戒律、聞法、遠離慳吝的佈施,在那些慳吝的世間,他的佈施尤其顯得突出。』 佛說完這部經后,僧迦羅婆羅門聽了佛所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去。 (九五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位生聞婆羅門來到佛的住所,與世尊互相問候慰勞后,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『瞿曇!我聽說瞿曇說:『只應該佈施給我,不應該佈施給其他人;佈施給我能得到大果報,佈施給其他人不能得到大果報。應該佈施給我的弟子,不應該佈施給其他弟子;佈施給我的弟子能得到大果報,佈施給其他弟子不能得到大果報。』瞿曇!說這樣話的人,是真實地說了嗎?還是在誹謗瞿曇呢?是如實說、如法說嗎?是依法次序而說,不會被其他人用同樣的法來責難嗎?』 佛告訴婆羅門:『那些這樣說的人,是在誹謗我!不是如實說、如法說、依法次序而說,不會導致他人用同樣的法來責難。為什麼呢?我不是這樣說的:『應該佈施給我,不應該佈施給其他人;佈施給我能得到大果報,佈施給其他人不能得到大果報。應該佈施給我的弟子,佈施給我的弟子能得到大果報,不佈施給其他弟子不能得到大果報。』然而,婆羅門!我如果這樣說,就造成了兩種障礙:障礙佈施者佈施,障礙受施者得利。

English version The Brahmin asked the Buddha, 'Why is it said that a good man is like the moon?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'It is like the bright moon, whose light is pure, its color increasing in brightness day and night, until the moon is full, and everything is perfectly clear. Likewise, a good man develops pure faith in the Dharma and Vinaya of the Tathagata, and his right view becomes truly pure and increasingly bright, his precepts increase, his giving increases, his learning increases, his wisdom increases, day and night; and at other times he draws near to good teachers, hears the true Dharma, reflects correctly within, practices good deeds in body, practices good deeds in speech, practices good deeds in mind, and therefore, when his body breaks and his life ends, he is reborn in heaven. Brahmin! That is why a good man is like the moon.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse: 'Like the moon without blemish, moving in the sky, among all the small stars, its light is the most brilliant. Pure faith is also like this, precepts, learning, giving up stinginess, in this stingy world, his giving is especially prominent.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Brahmin Sangkara, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, and rose from his seat and departed. (Ninety-five) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, a Brahmin named Senavani came to the Buddha's place, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the World Honored One, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Gotama! I have heard Gotama say: 'One should only give to me, not to others; giving to me brings great reward, not giving to others brings great reward. One should give to my disciples, not to other disciples; giving to my disciples brings great reward, not giving to other disciples brings great reward.' Gotama! Is it true that those who say such things are speaking truthfully? Or are they slandering Gotama? Are they speaking truthfully, according to the Dharma? Are they speaking according to the order of the Dharma, and will they not be criticized by others using the same Dharma?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'Those who say such things are slandering me! They are not speaking truthfully, according to the Dharma, or according to the order of the Dharma, and they will cause others to criticize them using the same Dharma. Why is that? I do not say: 'One should give to me, not to others; giving to me brings great reward, not giving to others brings great reward. One should give to my disciples, giving to my disciples brings great reward, not giving to other disciples brings great reward.' However, Brahmin! If I were to say such things, I would be creating two kinds of obstacles: obstructing the giver from giving, and obstructing the receiver from benefiting.'


。婆羅門乃至士夫,以洗器餘食著于凈地,令彼處眾生即得利樂。我說斯等亦入福門,況復施人?婆羅門!然我復說,施持戒者得果報,不同犯戒。」

生聞婆羅門白佛言:「如是,瞿曇!我亦如是說,施持戒者得大果報,非施犯戒。」

爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「若黑若有白,  若赤若有色,  犁雜及金色,  純黃及鴿色,  如是等牸牛,  生犢姝好者,  丁壯力具足,  調善行捷疾,  但使堪運重,  不問本生色,  人亦復如是,  各隨彼彼生,  剎利婆羅門,  毗舍首陀羅,  旃陀羅下賤,  所生悉不同,  但使持凈戒,  離重擔煩惱,  純一修梵行,  漏盡阿羅漢,  於世間善逝,  施彼得大果,  愚者無智慧,  未嘗聞正法,  施彼無大果,  不近善友故,  若習善知識,  如來及聲聞,  清凈信善逝,  根生堅固力,  所住之善趣,  及生大姓家,  究竟般涅盤,  大仙如是說。」

佛說此經已,生聞婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(九六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。時,有異婆羅門,年耆根熟,執杖持缽,家家乞食。

爾時,世尊告婆羅門:「汝今云何年耆根熟,柱杖持缽,家家乞食?」婆羅門白佛:「瞿曇!我家中所有財物悉付其子,為子娶妻,然後舍家,是故柱杖持缽,家家乞食

現代漢語譯本:婆羅門乃至士人,將洗滌器皿后剩餘的食物放在乾淨的地方,讓那裡的眾生都能得到利益和快樂。我說這些也算是進入了行善的門徑,更何況是施捨給他人呢?婆羅門!然而我還要說,佈施給持戒的人會得到果報,這和佈施給犯戒的人是不同的。 生聞婆羅門對佛說:『是的,瞿曇!我也是這樣認為的,佈施給持戒的人會得到很大的果報,而不是佈施給犯戒的人。』 這時,世尊又說了偈語: 『無論是黑色的,還是白色的,無論是紅色的,還是其他顏色的,無論是雜色的,還是金色的,無論是純黃色的,還是鴿子色的,像這樣的母牛,如果生下的小牛很漂亮,而且長大后力氣充足,性情溫順,行動敏捷,只要能拉動重物,就不必問它原本是什麼顏色。 人也是如此,各自隨著不同的出身而生,剎帝利、婆羅門、吠舍、首陀羅、旃陀羅等,他們的出身各不相同,但只要他們持守清凈的戒律,遠離沉重的負擔和煩惱,一心修行梵行,達到漏盡的阿羅漢境界,在世間善逝,佈施給他們會得到很大的果報。 愚笨的人沒有智慧,不曾聽聞正法,佈施給他們不會有很大的果報,因為他們不親近善友。如果能夠親近善知識,如來和聲聞弟子,對善逝有清凈的信心,根基穩固,那麼他們所居住的地方會是善趣,並且會出生在大姓人家,最終達到涅槃,大仙是這樣說的。』 佛說完這部經后,生聞婆羅門聽了佛所說的話,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離開了。 (九六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 這時,世尊早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。當時,有一位婆羅門,年紀老邁,根基成熟,拄著枴杖,拿著缽,挨家挨戶乞食。 這時,世尊對婆羅門說:『你現在為什麼年紀老邁,根基成熟,拄著枴杖,拿著缽,挨家挨戶乞食呢?』婆羅門對佛說:『瞿曇!我把家中所有的財產都給了我的兒子,為兒子娶了妻子,然後才離開家,所以現在拄著枴杖,拿著缽,挨家挨戶乞食。』

English version: Brahmins and even householders, placing the remnants of food from washing vessels in a clean place, allow the beings there to gain benefit and happiness. I say that these too enter the gate of merit, how much more so when giving to others? Brahmin! However, I also say that giving to those who uphold precepts yields a reward, unlike giving to those who break precepts. The Brahmin Saṃjñā heard this and said to the Buddha: 'So it is, Gautama! I also say the same, that giving to those who uphold precepts yields great reward, not giving to those who break precepts.' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 'Whether black or white, whether red or colored, whether mixed or golden, whether pure yellow or dove-colored, such cows, if they give birth to beautiful calves, and when grown are strong, docile, and swift, as long as they can carry heavy loads, it is not asked what their original color was. So it is with people, each born according to their different origins, Kshatriyas, Brahmins, Vaishyas, Shudras, Chandalas, their births are all different, but as long as they uphold pure precepts, are free from heavy burdens and afflictions, purely practice the Brahma-faring, reach the state of Arhat with the extinction of outflows, and are well-gone in the world, giving to them yields great reward. The foolish have no wisdom, have not heard the true Dharma, giving to them does not yield great reward, because they do not associate with good friends. If one associates with good teachers, the Tathagata and his disciples, has pure faith in the Well-Gone, and has firm roots, then the place where they dwell will be a good destination, and they will be born into great families, ultimately reaching Nirvana, so says the Great Sage.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Brahmin Saṃjñā, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid homage, and departed. (96) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One, in the morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered the city of Shravasti to beg for alms. At that time, there was a certain Brahmin, old and with mature faculties, holding a staff and a bowl, begging for alms from house to house. At that time, the World-Honored One said to the Brahmin: 'Why are you now old and with mature faculties, holding a staff and a bowl, begging for alms from house to house?' The Brahmin said to the Buddha: 'Gautama! I have given all my possessions to my son, and have taken a wife for my son, and then I left home, therefore I now hold a staff and a bowl, begging for alms from house to house.'


。」

佛告婆羅門:「汝能於我所受誦一偈,還歸於眾中,為兒說耶?」

婆羅門白佛:「能受。瞿曇!」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「生子心歡喜,  為子聚財物,  亦為娉其妻,  而自捨出家。  邊鄙田舍兒,  違負于其父,  人形羅剎心,  棄捨于尊老,  老馬無複用,  則奪其䵃麥,  兒少而父老,  家家行乞食,  曲杖為最勝,  非子為恩愛,  為我防惡牛,  免險地得安,  能卻兇暴狗,  扶我闇處行,  避深坑空井,  草木棘刺林,  憑杖威力故,  峙立不墮落。」

時,婆羅門從世尊受斯偈已,還歸婆羅門大眾中為子而說。先白大眾:「聽我所說。」然後誦偈……如上廣說。其子愧怖,即抱其父,還將入家,摩身洗浴,覆以青衣被,立為家主。

時,婆羅門作是念:「我今得勝族姓,是沙門瞿曇恩。我經所說:『為師者如師供養,為和尚者如和尚供養。』我今所得,皆沙門瞿曇力,即是我師,我今當以上妙好衣以奉瞿曇。」

時,婆羅門持上妙衣,至世尊所,面前問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!我今居家成就,是瞿曇力。我經記說:『為師者以師供養,為和尚者以和尚供養。』今日瞿曇即為我師,愿受此衣,哀愍故!」

世尊即受,為哀愍故。

爾時,世尊為婆羅門說種種法,示、教、照、喜。

時,婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(九七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『你如果能從我這裡接受並背誦一首偈語,然後回到眾人中,為你兒子說,可以嗎?』 婆羅門回答佛陀:『我能接受。瞿曇!』 這時,世尊就說了這首偈語: 『生了兒子心中歡喜,為兒子積聚財物,也為他娶妻,自己卻捨棄一切出家。 邊遠鄉下的孩子,違背父親的期望,人形如羅剎心,拋棄年老的父母。 老馬沒有用了,就奪走它的飼料,兒子年少而父親年老,只能挨家挨戶乞討食物。 枴杖是最可靠的,而不是兒子帶來的恩愛,它為我抵擋兇猛的牛,使我從危險的地方得到安全。 它能驅趕兇暴的狗,扶持我在黑暗中行走,避開深坑和空井,以及草木荊棘叢林。 憑藉枴杖的力量,我才能站立不倒。』 當時,婆羅門從世尊那裡接受了這首偈語后,回到婆羅門大眾中為兒子宣說。他先告訴大眾:『聽我說。』然後背誦偈語……如上文所說。他的兒子感到慚愧和害怕,立刻抱住父親,帶他回家,為他擦身洗浴,蓋上青色的被子,並立他為一家之主。 當時,婆羅門心想:『我今天能得到家族的尊重,都是沙門瞿曇的恩德。我經書上說:『對待老師要像對待老師一樣供養,對待和尚要像對待和尚一樣供養。』我今天所得到的,都是沙門瞿曇的力量,他就是我的老師,我應該用上好的衣服來供養瞿曇。』 當時,婆羅門拿著上好的衣服,來到世尊那裡,在佛前問候慰勞后,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『瞿曇!我今天能居家安穩,都是瞿曇的力量。我經書上記載:『對待老師要像對待老師一樣供養,對待和尚要像對待和尚一樣供養。』今天瞿曇就是我的老師,希望您能接受這件衣服,慈悲地接受吧!』 世尊就接受了,爲了慈悲的緣故。 當時,世尊為婆羅門說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜。 當時,婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (九七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'If you can receive and recite a verse from me, and then return to the assembly and speak it to your son, would that be possible?' The Brahmin replied to the Buddha, 'I can receive it, Gotama!' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke this verse: 'Having a son brings joy to the heart, one gathers wealth for the son, and also takes a wife for him, yet one abandons everything to leave home. A child from a remote village, goes against his father's wishes, with a form like a human but a heart like a Rakshasa, abandoning his elderly parents. When an old horse is no longer useful, its fodder is taken away, when the son is young and the father is old, he can only beg for food from door to door. A walking stick is the most reliable, not the love brought by a son, it protects me from fierce cattle, and keeps me safe from dangerous places. It can drive away ferocious dogs, support me as I walk in the dark, and help me avoid deep pits and empty wells, as well as forests of grass, trees, and thorns. By the power of the walking stick, I can stand firm and not fall.' At that time, after the Brahmin received this verse from the World-Honored One, he returned to the Brahmin assembly to proclaim it to his son. He first told the assembly, 'Listen to what I have to say.' Then he recited the verse... as described above. His son felt ashamed and afraid, immediately embraced his father, took him home, bathed him, covered him with a blue blanket, and made him the head of the household. At that time, the Brahmin thought, 'Today I have gained respect for my family, all thanks to the grace of the Shramana Gotama. My scriptures say: 'One should offer to a teacher as one would offer to a teacher, and to a monk as one would offer to a monk.' What I have gained today is all due to the power of the Shramana Gotama, he is my teacher, I should offer Gotama the finest clothes.' At that time, the Brahmin took the finest clothes, went to the World-Honored One, greeted and comforted him, then sat to one side, and said to the Buddha, 'Gotama! Today I am able to live peacefully at home, all thanks to the power of Gotama. My scriptures record: 'One should offer to a teacher as one would offer to a teacher, and to a monk as one would offer to a monk.' Today Gotama is my teacher, I hope you will accept this clothing, out of compassion!' The World-Honored One accepted it, out of compassion. At that time, the World-Honored One spoke various teachings to the Brahmin, revealing, instructing, enlightening, and bringing him joy. At that time, the Brahmin heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid his respects, and departed. (Ninety-seven) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。

時,有異婆羅門年耆根熟,攝杖持缽,家家乞食。彼婆羅門遙見世尊而作是念:「沙門瞿曇攝杖持缽,家家乞食,我亦攝杖持缽,家家乞食,我與瞿曇俱是比丘。」

爾時,世尊說偈答曰:

「所謂比丘者,  非但以乞食,  受持在家法,  是何名比丘。  于功德過惡,  俱離修正行,  其心無所畏,  是則名比丘。」

佛說是經已,彼婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(九八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,至一那羅聚落,住一那羅林中。

爾時,世尊著衣持缽,入一陀羅聚落乞食,而作是念:「今日大早,今且可過耕田婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門作飲食處。」

爾時,耕田婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門五百具犁耕田,為作飲食。時,耕田婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門遙見世尊,白言:「瞿曇!我今耕田下種,以供飲食,沙門瞿曇亦應耕田下種,以供飲食。」

佛告婆羅門:「我亦耕田下種,以供飲食。」

婆羅門白佛:「我都不見沙門瞿曇若犁、若軛、若鞅、若縻、若镵、若鞭,而今瞿曇說言:『我亦耕田下種,以供飲食。』」

爾時,耕田婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門即說偈言:

「自說耕田者,  而不見其耕,  為我說耕田,  令我知耕法。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「信心為種子,  苦行為時雨,  智慧為時軛,  慚愧心為轅,  正念自守護,  是則善御者

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。 這時,有一位年老體衰的婆羅門,拄著枴杖,拿著缽,挨家挨戶乞食。那位婆羅門遠遠地看見世尊,心想:『沙門瞿曇拄著枴杖,拿著缽,挨家挨戶乞食,我也拄著枴杖,拿著缽,挨家挨戶乞食,我和瞿曇都是比丘。』 當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『所謂比丘,並非只是靠乞食,如果還受持在家的法,那怎麼能稱為比丘呢?對於功德和過惡,都能遠離並修正自己的行為,內心沒有恐懼,這樣才稱為比丘。』 佛陀說完這部經后,那位婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (九八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀在拘薩羅國的人間游化,來到一個名叫那羅的村落,住在那裡的一片樹林中。 當時,世尊穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入一陀羅村乞食,心想:『今天還早,現在可以先去耕田的婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門那裡看看,他正在準備食物。』 當時,耕田的婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門正用五百套犁具耕田,準備食物。耕田的婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門遠遠地看見世尊,就說:『瞿曇!我現在耕田播種,以此來獲得食物,沙門瞿曇也應該耕田播種,以此來獲得食物。』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『我也耕田播種,以此來獲得食物。』 婆羅門問佛陀:『我沒有看見沙門瞿曇有犁、軛、鞅、縻、镵、鞭,而現在瞿曇卻說:『我也耕田播種,以此來獲得食物。』』 當時,耕田的婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門就說了偈語: 『自稱耕田的人,卻不見他耕田,請你為我講講耕田的道理,讓我瞭解耕田的方法。』 當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『信心是種子,苦行是時雨,智慧是時軛,慚愧心是轅,正念是守護,這樣才是善於駕馭的人。

English version At that time, the World Honored One, having dressed in the morning, took his bowl and entered the city of Shravasti to beg for food. At that time, there was a Brahmin, old and with mature faculties, who, holding a staff and a bowl, begged for food from house to house. That Brahmin, seeing the World Honored One from afar, thought: 'The Shramana Gautama, holding a staff and a bowl, begs for food from house to house, and I also, holding a staff and a bowl, beg for food from house to house. I and Gautama are both Bhikkhus.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse, answering: 'One who is called a Bhikkhu, is not merely one who begs for food. If one still upholds the laws of a householder, how can one be called a Bhikkhu? One who is detached from both merit and demerit, and cultivates right conduct, whose mind is without fear, that one is called a Bhikkhu.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, that Brahmin, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid homage, and departed. (98) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling among the people of Kosala, and arrived at a village called Narala, dwelling in a forest of Narala. At that time, the World Honored One, having dressed, took his bowl and entered the village of Idara to beg for food, and thought: 'It is early today, now I can go to the place where the Brahmin Bharadvaja, who is plowing, is preparing food.' At that time, the Brahmin Bharadvaja, who was plowing, was using five hundred sets of plows to till the land, preparing food. The Brahmin Bharadvaja, seeing the World Honored One from afar, said: 'Gautama! I am now plowing and sowing seeds to obtain food. The Shramana Gautama should also plow and sow seeds to obtain food.' The Buddha said to the Brahmin: 'I also plow and sow seeds to obtain food.' The Brahmin said to the Buddha: 'I have not seen the Shramana Gautama with a plow, yoke, pole, rope, hoe, or whip, and yet Gautama says: 'I also plow and sow seeds to obtain food.' At that time, the Brahmin Bharadvaja spoke in verse: 'You say you are a plowman, but I do not see you plowing. Please tell me about your plowing, so that I may understand the method of plowing.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse, answering: 'Faith is the seed, ascetic practice is the timely rain, wisdom is the yoke, the sense of shame is the pole, right mindfulness is the guard, thus is one a good driver.'


。  包藏身口業,  知食處內藏,  真實為真乘,  樂住為懈息,  精進為廢荒,  安隱而速進。  直往不轉還,  得到無憂處。  如是耕田者,  逮得甘露果;  如是耕田者,  不還受諸有。」

時,耕田婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門白佛言:「善耕田!瞿曇!極善耕田!瞿曇!」於是耕田婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門聞世尊說偈,心轉增信,以滿缽香美飲食以奉世尊。世尊不受,以因說偈得故。即說偈言:

「不因說法故,  受彼食而食。」

如是廣說,如前為火與婆羅門廣說。

時,耕田婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門白佛言:「瞿曇!今以此食安著何處?」

佛告婆羅門:「我不見諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人堪食此食而得安身。婆羅門!汝持此食著無蟲水中,及少生草地。」

時,婆羅門即持此食著無蟲水中,水即煙起涌沸,啾啾作聲。如熱丸投于冷水,啾啾作聲。如是彼食投著無蟲水中,煙起涌沸,啾啾作聲。

時,婆羅門作是念:「沙門瞿曇實為奇特!大德大力,乃令飲食神變如是。」

時,彼婆羅門見食瑞應,信心轉增,白佛言:「瞿曇!我今可得於正法中出家、受具足不?」

佛告婆羅門:「汝今可得於正法中出家、受具足,得比丘分。」彼即出家已,獨靜思惟:「所以族姓子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道……。」乃至得阿羅漢,心善解脫。

(九九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城。

時,有尊者名曰凈天,在鞞提訶國人間遊行,至彌絺羅城庵羅園中

現代漢語譯本:

『約束身口意三業,知道食物的真正來源,以真實為真乘,以安樂的居住為懈怠的止息,以精進為荒廢,以安穩而快速前進。直接前往而不退轉,到達沒有憂愁的地方。像這樣耕田的人,能夠獲得甘露的果實;像這樣耕田的人,不再輪迴受諸有的苦難。』 當時,耕田的婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門對佛說:『善於耕田啊!瞿曇!真是太善於耕田了!瞿曇!』於是,耕田的婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門聽了世尊說的偈語,心中更加增添了信心,用滿滿一缽香美的食物供奉世尊。世尊沒有接受,因為這是因為說法而得到的。於是世尊說了偈語: 『不是因為說法的原因,才接受那些食物而食用。』 像這樣廣泛地講述,就像之前為火與婆羅門廣泛講述的那樣。 當時,耕田的婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門對佛說:『瞿曇!現在把這些食物放在哪裡呢?』 佛告訴婆羅門:『我沒有看到諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人能夠食用這些食物而得到安穩。婆羅門!你把這些食物放在沒有蟲的水中,以及少有草生長的地方。』 當時,婆羅門就拿著這些食物放在沒有蟲的水中,水立刻冒出煙霧,翻騰沸騰,發出啾啾的聲音。就像熱的丸子投入冷水中,發出啾啾的聲音。像這樣,那些食物投入沒有蟲的水中,冒出煙霧,翻騰沸騰,發出啾啾的聲音。 當時,婆羅門這樣想:『沙門瞿曇真是奇特!大德大力,竟然讓食物產生這樣的神變。』 當時,那位婆羅門看到食物的瑞應,信心更加增長,對佛說:『瞿曇!我現在可以在正法中出家、受具足戒嗎?』 佛告訴婆羅門:『你現在可以在正法中出家、受具足戒,成為比丘。』他隨即出家,獨自靜思:『為什麼族姓子剃除鬚髮,穿著袈裟,以正信離開家庭,出家學道……』乃至證得阿羅漢果,心得到善解脫。 (九九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城。 當時,有一位尊者名叫凈天,在鞞提訶國人間游化,到達彌絺羅城的庵羅園中。

English version:

'Restraining actions of body, speech, and mind, knowing the true source of food, taking truth as the true vehicle, taking peaceful dwelling as the cessation of laziness, taking diligence as the abandonment of waste, advancing steadily and quickly. Going directly without turning back, reaching the place without sorrow. Those who cultivate in this way will obtain the fruit of nectar; those who cultivate in this way will not return to suffer the pains of existence.' Then, the Brahmin Bharadvaja, who was a farmer, said to the Buddha, 'Well cultivated, Gautama! Extremely well cultivated, Gautama!' Then, the Brahmin Bharadvaja, who was a farmer, having heard the verses spoken by the World Honored One, his faith increased, and he offered a full bowl of fragrant and delicious food to the World Honored One. The World Honored One did not accept it, because it was obtained through the teaching of the Dharma. Then the World Honored One spoke a verse: 'Not because of the teaching of the Dharma, do I accept and eat that food.' Thus, he spoke extensively, just as he had previously spoken extensively to the Brahmin about fire. Then, the Brahmin Bharadvaja, who was a farmer, said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! Where should I place this food now?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'I do not see any gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, deities, or people in the world who can eat this food and find peace. Brahmin! You should place this food in water that has no insects, and in a place where there is little grass growing.' Then, the Brahmin took the food and placed it in water that had no insects, and the water immediately began to smoke, boil, and make a 'chuchu' sound. Just like a hot ball thrown into cold water, it makes a 'chuchu' sound. In this way, when the food was placed in the water that had no insects, it smoked, boiled, and made a 'chuchu' sound. Then, the Brahmin thought, 'The ascetic Gautama is truly extraordinary! He has great virtue and power, that he can cause food to undergo such a miraculous transformation.' Then, that Brahmin, seeing the auspicious sign of the food, his faith increased even more, and he said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! Can I now leave home and receive full ordination in the true Dharma?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'You can now leave home and receive full ordination in the true Dharma, and become a bhikkhu.' He then left home, and contemplated alone, 'Why do sons of good families shave their heads and beards, wear the robes, and with true faith leave their homes to study the Way...' and eventually attained Arhatship, and his mind was well liberated. (99) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in Rajagriha. At that time, there was a venerable one named Netra, who was wandering among the people of the Videha country, and arrived at the Amra Garden in the city of Mithila.


。時,尊者凈天晨朝著衣持缽,入彌絺羅城乞食。次第乞食,到自本家。時,凈天母年老,在中堂持食祀火,求生梵天,不覺尊者凈天在門外立。

時,毗沙門天王于尊者凈天所極生敬信。時,毗沙門天王,諸夜叉導從,乘虛而行,見尊者凈天在門外立。又見其母手擎飲食,在中堂上供養祀火,不見其子在外門立。見已,從空中下,至凈天母前,而說偈言:

「此婆羅門尼,  梵天極遼遠,  為求彼生故,  於此祠祀火。  此非梵天道,  何為徒祀此?  汝婆羅門尼,  凈天住門外,  垢穢永無餘,  是則天中天,  蕭然無所有,  獨一不兼資,  為乞食入舍,  所應供養者,  凈天善修身,  人天良福田。  遠離一切惡,  不為染所染,  德同於梵天,  形在人間住,  不著一切法,  如彼淳熟龍,  比丘正念住,  其心善解脫,  應奉以初佛,  是則上福田。  應以正信心,  及時速施與,  當預建立洲,  令未來安樂。  汝觀此牟尼,  已渡苦海流,  是故當信心,  及時速施與,  當預建立洲,  令未來安樂,  毗沙門天王,  開發彼令舍。」

時,尊者凈天即為其母種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,複道而去。

(一〇〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者凈天早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入彌絺羅城乞食。他依次乞食,來到了自己原來的家。那時,凈天的母親年老了,正在中堂拿著食物祭祀火神,祈求往生梵天,沒有注意到尊者凈天站在門外。 當時,毗沙門天王對尊者凈天非常敬重和信服。毗沙門天王帶著夜叉隨從,在空中飛行,看見尊者凈天站在門外。又看見他的母親手裡拿著食物,在中堂上供奉祭祀火神,沒有看見她的兒子站在門外。看到這些后,他從空中降落,來到凈天母親面前,說了這樣一段偈語: 『這位婆羅門婦女啊,梵天是極其遙遠的,爲了求得往生梵天,你在這裡祭祀火神。這不是通往梵天的道路,為何要徒勞地祭祀呢?你這位婆羅門婦女,凈天就站在門外,他已經徹底清除了所有污垢,是天中之天,他清凈無染,獨自一人,不依賴任何外物,爲了乞食才進入家門,他是你真正應該供養的人。凈天善於修身,是人天最好的福田。他遠離一切惡行,不被任何事物所污染,他的德行如同梵天一樣,雖然身在人間,卻不執著于任何事物,就像一條成熟的龍一樣。這位比丘正念而住,他的心已經得到了很好的解脫,應該像供奉最初的佛陀一樣供奉他,他才是真正的上等福田。應該以真正的信心,及時地佈施給他,這樣才能預先建立起未來的安樂之洲。你看看這位牟尼,他已經渡過了苦海,所以應當有信心,及時地佈施給他,這樣才能預先建立起未來的安樂之洲。』毗沙門天王這樣開導她,讓她捨棄祭祀火神的行為。 當時,尊者凈天就為他的母親說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、讓她歡喜,然後就離開了。 (一〇〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: At that time, the Venerable Jingtian, having dressed in the morning, took his bowl and entered the city of Mithila to beg for food. He begged for food in order, and came to his own original home. At that time, Jingtian's mother was old, and was in the central hall holding food to sacrifice to the fire, seeking rebirth in Brahma's heaven, unaware that the Venerable Jingtian was standing outside the door. At that time, King Vaisravana had great respect and faith in the Venerable Jingtian. King Vaisravana, with his Yaksha followers, was flying in the air when he saw the Venerable Jingtian standing outside the door. He also saw his mother holding food in her hands, offering sacrifices to the fire in the central hall, not seeing her son standing outside the door. Having seen this, he descended from the sky, came before Jingtian's mother, and spoke this verse: 'This Brahmin woman, Brahma's heaven is extremely far away, and in order to seek rebirth there, you are sacrificing to the fire here. This is not the path to Brahma's heaven, why do you sacrifice in vain? You, Brahmin woman, Jingtian is standing outside the door, he has completely eliminated all defilements, he is the heaven of heavens, he is pure and undefiled, alone, not relying on anything external, he only enters the house to beg for food, he is the one you should truly offer to. Jingtian is good at cultivating himself, he is the best field of merit for humans and gods. He is far from all evil deeds, not defiled by anything, his virtue is like Brahma, although he lives in the human world, he is not attached to anything, like a mature dragon. This Bhikkhu dwells in right mindfulness, his mind has been well liberated, you should offer to him as you would offer to the first Buddha, he is the true superior field of merit. You should give to him with true faith, in a timely manner, so that you can establish a future island of peace. Look at this Muni, he has already crossed the sea of suffering, therefore you should have faith, give to him in a timely manner, so that you can establish a future island of peace.' King Vaisravana thus enlightened her, causing her to abandon the act of sacrificing to the fire. At that time, the Venerable Jingtian spoke various Dharma teachings to his mother, revealing, teaching, inspiring, and making her happy, and then he left. (100) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika in Sravasti.


時,有異婆羅門來詣佛所,面前問訊,相慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!所謂佛者,云何為佛?為是父母制名?為是婆羅門制名?」時,婆羅門即說偈言:

「佛者是世間,  超渡之勝名,  為是父母制,  名之為佛耶?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「佛見過去世,  如是見未來,  亦見現在世,  一切行起滅。  明智所了知,  所應修已修,  應斷悉已斷,  是故名為佛。  歷劫求選擇,  純苦無暫樂,  生者悉磨滅,  遠離息塵垢,  拔諸使刺本,  等覺故名佛。」

佛說偈已,彼婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起去。

(一〇一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,有從迦帝聚落、墮鳩羅聚落二村中間,一樹下坐,入晝正受。

時,有豆磨種姓婆羅門隨彼道行,尋佛後來,見佛腳跡千輻輪相,印文顯現,齊輻圓輞,眾好滿足。見已,作是念:「我未曾見人間有如是足跡,今當隨跡以求其人。」即尋腳跡至於佛所,來見世尊坐一樹下,入晝正受,嚴容絕世,諸根澄靜,其心寂定,第一調伏,正觀成就,光相巍巍,猶若金山。見已,白言:「為是天耶?」

佛告婆羅門:「我非天也。」

「為龍、夜叉、乾闥婆、阿修羅、迦樓羅、緊那羅、摩睺羅伽、人、非人等?」

佛告婆羅門:「我非龍乃至人、非人也

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位外道婆羅門來到佛陀所在的地方,在佛陀面前問訊,互相慰問之後,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇!所謂佛,是什麼意思?這個名稱是父母取的,還是婆羅門取的?』當時,婆羅門就說了偈語: 『佛是世間,超越一切的殊勝名稱,這個名稱是父母取的,還是婆羅門取的,才稱之為佛呢?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『佛能看見過去世,也能看見未來世,也能看見現在世,一切行為的生起和滅亡。通過明智所瞭解,應該修的已經修完,應該斷的都已經斷除,所以稱為佛。經歷無數劫的尋求和選擇,純粹是苦沒有片刻的快樂,有生者都會消磨滅亡,遠離塵垢,拔除各種煩惱的根本,達到正等覺,所以稱為佛。』 佛陀說完偈語后,那位婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去。 (一〇一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀在拘薩羅國的人間游化,在迦帝聚落和墮鳩羅聚落兩個村莊之間的一棵樹下坐著,進入午間禪定。 當時,有一位豆磨種姓的婆羅門沿著那條路走,跟在佛陀後面,看見佛陀的腳印有千輻輪的形狀,印紋清晰顯現,輪輻均勻,輪輞圓滿,各種美好都具備。看見后,他心想:『我從未見過人間有這樣的腳印,現在應當沿著腳印去尋找這個人。』於是就沿著腳印來到佛陀所在的地方,看見世尊坐在一棵樹下,進入午間禪定,容貌莊嚴絕世,諸根清凈,內心寂靜安定,達到第一調伏,正觀成就,光芒巍峨,如同金山。看見后,他問道:『您是天人嗎?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『我不是天人。』 『是龍、夜叉、乾闥婆、阿修羅、迦樓羅、緊那羅、摩睺羅伽、人、非人等嗎?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『我不是龍,乃至不是人、非人。』

English version: At that time, a wandering Brahmin came to where the Buddha was, greeted him, exchanged pleasantries, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Gautama, what is meant by the term 'Buddha'? Is it a name given by parents, or is it a name given by Brahmins?' Then, the Brahmin spoke in verse: 'Is the Buddha a name in the world, a superior name of transcendence? Is it a name given by parents, or is it called Buddha?' Then, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'The Buddha sees the past, and thus sees the future, and also sees the present, the arising and ceasing of all actions. Through wisdom, what should be known is known, what should be cultivated is cultivated, what should be abandoned is abandoned, therefore, one is called a Buddha. Through countless eons of seeking and choosing, there is only pure suffering without a moment of joy. All that is born will be worn away, one is far from dust and defilement, the roots of all afflictions are pulled out, and one attains perfect enlightenment, therefore, one is called a Buddha.' After the Buddha spoke the verses, the Brahmin, hearing what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and praised, and rose from his seat and departed. (101) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the human realm of Kosala, and was sitting under a tree between the two villages of Katika and Dukkula, having entered the midday meditation. At that time, a Brahmin of the Domara clan was walking along that path, following behind the Buddha. He saw the Buddha's footprints with the marks of a thousand-spoked wheel, the imprints clearly visible, the spokes even, the rims round, and all the auspicious marks complete. Having seen this, he thought, 'I have never seen such footprints in the human world. Now I should follow these footprints to find the person.' So he followed the footprints to where the Buddha was, and saw the World Honored One sitting under a tree, having entered the midday meditation, his appearance majestic and unparalleled, his senses serene, his mind tranquil and settled, having attained the first taming, his right view perfected, his radiance majestic, like a golden mountain. Having seen this, he asked, 'Are you a deva?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'I am not a deva.' 'Are you a dragon, a yaksha, a gandharva, an asura, a garuda, a kinnara, a mahoraga, a human, or a non-human?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'I am not a dragon, nor any of those, nor a human, nor a non-human.'


。」

婆羅門白佛:「若言非天、非龍,乃至非人、非非人,為是何等?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「天龍乾闥婆,  緊那羅夜叉,  無善阿修羅,  諸摩睺羅伽,  人與非人等,  悉由煩惱生,  如是煩惱漏,  一切我已舍,  已破已磨滅,  如芬陀利生,  雖生於水中,  而未曾著水,  我雖生世間,  不為世間著,  歷劫常選擇,  純苦無暫樂,  一切有為行,  悉皆生滅故,  離垢不傾動,  已拔諸劍刺,  究竟生死除,  故名為佛陀。」

佛說此經已,豆摩種婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從路而去。

(一〇二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入王舍城乞食。次第乞食,至婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門舍。

時,婆羅門手執木杓,盛諸飲食,供養火具,住于門邊,遙見佛來。見已,白佛作是言:「住!住!領群特!慎勿近我門!」

佛告婆羅門:「汝知領群特、領群特法耶?」

婆羅門言:「我不知領群特,亦不知領群特法,沙門瞿曇知領群特及領群特法不?」

佛言:「我善知是領群特及領群特法。」

是時,婆羅門即放事火具,疾敷床座,請佛令坐,白言:「瞿曇!為我說領群特及領群特法。」

佛即就座為說偈言:

「瞋恚心懷恨,  隱覆諸過惡,  犯戒起惡見,  虛偽不真實,  如是等士夫,  當知領群特

婆羅門問佛:『如果說不是天神、不是龍,乃至不是人、不是非人,那又是什麼呢?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『天神、龍、乾闥婆,緊那羅、夜叉,沒有善行的阿修羅,以及摩睺羅伽,人和非人等,都由煩惱而生。 這樣的煩惱漏失,我已經全部捨棄,已經破除、已經磨滅,如同芬陀利花一樣,雖然生長在水中,卻不沾染水。 我雖然生在世間,卻不為世間所染著,經歷無數劫選擇,純粹是苦沒有片刻的快樂。 一切有為的行,都因為生滅的緣故,遠離污垢不傾動,已經拔除了所有的劍刺,究竟解脫了生死,所以稱為佛陀。』 佛說完這部經后,豆摩種婆羅門聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從路上離開了。 (一〇二) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 這時,世尊早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入王舍城乞食。依次乞食,到了婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門的住所。 當時,婆羅門手拿著木勺,盛著各種食物,準備供奉火神,站在門邊,遠遠看見佛陀走來。看見后,對佛說:『站住!站住!你這領群特!不要靠近我的門!』 佛告訴婆羅門:『你知道什麼是領群特、什麼是領群特法嗎?』 婆羅門說:『我不知道什麼是領群特,也不知道什麼是領群特法,沙門瞿曇知道什麼是領群特和領群特法嗎?』 佛說:『我完全知道什麼是領群特和領群特法。』 這時,婆羅門立刻放下祭火的器具,迅速鋪好床座,請佛坐下,說:『瞿曇!請為我說說什麼是領群特和領群特法。』 佛陀就坐下,用偈語說道: 『心中懷有嗔恨,隱瞞自己的過錯,違犯戒律產生邪見,虛偽不真實,像這樣的人,應當知道是領群特。』

The Brahmin asked the Buddha: 'If it is said to be neither a deva, nor a dragon, nor even a human, nor a non-human, then what is it?' At that time, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'Devas, dragons, gandharvas, kinnaras, yakshas, asuras without merit, and mahoragas, humans and non-humans, all arise from afflictions. Such outflows of afflictions, I have completely abandoned, have broken, have extinguished, like a pundarika flower, although growing in water, it is not stained by water. Although I was born in the world, I am not attached to the world, having chosen through countless kalpas, purely suffering without a moment of joy. All conditioned actions, because of arising and ceasing, are free from defilement and do not waver, having pulled out all the sword thorns, ultimately eliminating birth and death, therefore called Buddha.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Brahmin of the Doma lineage, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed along, and departed from the road. (One hundred and two) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World Honored One, in the morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered Rajagriha to beg for alms. Begging for alms in order, he arrived at the residence of the Brahmin Bharadvaja. At that time, the Brahmin, holding a wooden ladle in his hand, filled with various foods, preparing to offer to the fire god, stood by the door, and saw the Buddha coming from afar. Having seen him, he said to the Buddha: 'Stop! Stop! You outcast! Do not come near my door!' The Buddha said to the Brahmin: 'Do you know what an outcast is, and what the law of an outcast is?' The Brahmin said: 'I do not know what an outcast is, nor do I know what the law of an outcast is. Does the Shramana Gautama know what an outcast and the law of an outcast are?' The Buddha said: 'I fully know what an outcast and the law of an outcast are.' At that time, the Brahmin immediately put down the fire-offering implements, quickly spread out a seat, invited the Buddha to sit down, and said: 'Gautama! Please tell me what an outcast and the law of an outcast are.' The Buddha sat down and spoke in verse: 'Harboring hatred in the heart, concealing one's faults, violating precepts and giving rise to wrong views, being false and not truthful, such a person, it should be known, is an outcast.'

。  父母諸尊長,  兄弟親眷屬,  實非阿羅漢,  自顯羅漢德,  世間之大賊,  當知領群特。  初上種姓生,  習婆羅門典,  而於其中間,  習行諸惡業,  不以勝生故,  障呵責惡道,  現法受呵責,  後世墮惡道,  生旃陀羅家,  世稱須陀夷,  名聞遍天下,  旃陀羅所無,  婆羅門剎利,  大姓所供養,  乘于凈天道,  平等正直住,  不以生處障,  令不生梵天,  現法善名譽,  後世生善趣,  二生汝當知,  如我所顯示,  不以所生故,  名為領群特。  不以所生故,  名為婆羅門,  業為領群特,  業為婆羅門。」

婆羅門白佛言:

「如是大精進,  如是大牟尼,  不以所生故,  名為領群特。  不以所生故,  名為婆羅門,  業故領群特,  業故婆羅門。」

時,事火婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門轉得信心,以滿缽好食奉上世尊。世尊不受,以說偈得故,偈如上說。

時,事火婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門見食瑞應已,增其信心,白佛言:「世尊!我今可得為正法、律出家、受具足不?」

佛告婆羅門:「汝今可得於正法、律出家、受具足戒。」即得出家,獨靜思惟,如前說,乃至得阿羅漢,心善解脫。

時,婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門得阿羅漢,心善解脫,自覺喜樂,即說偈言:

「非道求清凈,  供養祠祀火,  不識清凈道,  猶如生盲者。  今已得安樂,  出家受具足,  逮得於三明,  佛所教已作

現代漢語譯本: 『父母、長輩以及兄弟親屬,實際上並非阿羅漢,卻自詡擁有阿羅漢的德行,這是世間的大盜,應當知道他們是偽善的領頭人。 有些人初生於高貴的種姓,學習婆羅門的經典,卻在其中間行各種惡業,不能因為出身高貴就阻礙對惡道的呵責。 他們現世會受到責難,後世會墮入惡道。例如,出生在旃陀羅種姓的須陀夷,雖然出身低賤,卻名聞天下,這是旃陀羅種姓所沒有的。 婆羅門和剎帝利等高貴種姓的人都供養他,他遵循清凈的天道,平等正直地生活,不因出身而阻礙他升入梵天。 他現世享有美譽,後世也能往生善趣。這兩種情況你應該知道,正如我所展示的,不是因為出身而成為領頭人。 不是因為出身而成為婆羅門,而是因為行為才成為領頭人,因為行為才成為婆羅門。』 婆羅門對佛說:『您真是大精進,真是大牟尼,不是因為出身而成為領頭人,不是因為出身而成為婆羅門,而是因為行為才成為領頭人,因為行為才成為婆羅門。』 當時,事火婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門轉變了信心,用滿滿一缽美食供奉世尊。世尊沒有接受,因為已經用偈語說明了道理,偈語如上所述。 當時,事火婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門看到食物的瑞應后,更加堅定了信心,對佛說:『世尊!我現在可以皈依正法、律出家、受具足戒嗎?』 佛告訴婆羅門:『你現在可以皈依正法、律出家、受具足戒。』他隨即出家,獨自靜思,如前所述,最終證得阿羅漢果,心得到解脫。 當時,婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門證得阿羅漢果,心得到解脫,自覺喜悅,於是說偈:『用非正道求清凈,供養祭祀之火,不認識清凈之道,就像天生的盲人一樣。 現在我已經得到安樂,出家受具足戒,獲得了三明,佛陀的教誨我已經實踐。』

English version: 'Parents, elders, and siblings, though not truly Arhats, display the virtues of Arhats. They are the great thieves of the world, and should be known as the leaders of hypocrisy. Some are born into noble lineages, study the Brahmin scriptures, yet engage in evil deeds. Their noble birth does not prevent them from being condemned for their evil ways. They will be reproached in this life and fall into evil realms in the next. For example, Sudayi, born into the Chandala caste, though of low birth, is renowned throughout the world, something unheard of for a Chandala. Brahmins and Kshatriyas, people of high caste, offer him respect. He follows the pure path of heaven, living with equality and integrity. His birth does not prevent him from ascending to Brahma's heaven. He enjoys a good reputation in this life and is reborn in a good realm in the next. You should know these two cases, as I have shown. It is not by birth that one becomes a leader. It is not by birth that one becomes a Brahmin, but by deeds that one becomes a leader, and by deeds that one becomes a Brahmin.' The Brahmin said to the Buddha: 'You are truly of great diligence, a great Muni. It is not by birth that one becomes a leader. It is not by birth that one becomes a Brahmin, but by deeds that one becomes a leader, and by deeds that one becomes a Brahmin.' At that time, the fire-worshipping Brahmin Bharadvaja gained faith and offered the World-Honored One a full bowl of delicious food. The World-Honored One did not accept it, because the principle had already been explained in verses, as mentioned above. Then, seeing the auspicious sign of the food, the fire-worshipping Brahmin Bharadvaja increased his faith and said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! May I now be ordained into the Dharma and Vinaya, and receive full ordination?' The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'You may now be ordained into the Dharma and Vinaya, and receive full ordination.' He then left home, meditated in solitude, as described before, and eventually attained Arhatship, his mind liberated. At that time, Bharadvaja, having attained Arhatship and liberation of mind, felt joy and spoke this verse: 'Seeking purity through wrong paths, offering sacrifices to fire, not knowing the path to purity, is like being born blind. Now I have attained peace, having left home and received full ordination, having attained the three knowledges, and having done what the Buddha taught.'

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(一〇三)

如是我聞:

一時,有眾多上座比丘住拘舍彌國瞿師羅園。

時,有差摩比丘住拘舍彌國跋陀梨園,身得重病。

時,有陀娑比丘為瞻病者。時,陀娑比丘詣諸上座比丘,禮諸上座比丘足,於一面住。

諸上座比丘告陀娑比丘言:「汝往詣差摩比丘所,語言:『諸上座問汝,身小差安隱,苦患不增劇耶?』」

時,陀娑比丘受諸上座比丘教,至差摩比丘所,語差摩比丘言:「諸上座比丘問訊汝,苦患漸差不?眾苦不至增耶?」

差摩比丘語陀娑比丘言:「我病不差,不安隱身,諸苦轉增無救。譬如多力士夫,取羸劣人,以繩繼頭,兩手急絞,極大苦痛,我今苦痛有過於彼。譬如屠牛,以利刀生割其腹,取其內藏,其牛腹痛當何可堪!我今腹痛甚於彼牛。如二力士捉一劣夫,懸著火上,燒其兩足,我今兩足熱過於彼。」

時,陀娑比丘還至諸上座所,以差摩比丘所說病狀,具白諸上座

如是我聞:

一時,有眾多上座比丘住在拘舍彌國瞿師羅園。

當時,有差摩比丘住在拘舍彌國跋陀梨園,身患重病。

當時,有陀娑比丘負責照顧病人。當時,陀娑比丘前往諸位上座比丘處,禮拜諸位上座比丘的腳,在一旁站立。

諸位上座比丘告訴陀娑比丘說:『你前往差摩比丘那裡,告訴他:『諸位上座問候你,身體稍微好些了嗎?苦痛沒有加劇嗎?』』

當時,陀娑比丘接受諸位上座比丘的教導,來到差摩比丘那裡,告訴差摩比丘說:『諸位上座比丘問候你,苦痛漸漸減輕了嗎?各種苦痛沒有加重嗎?』

差摩比丘告訴陀娑比丘說:『我的病沒有好轉,身體不安穩,各種苦痛不斷加劇,沒有辦法救治。譬如一個力氣很大的壯士,抓住一個虛弱的人,用繩子纏住他的頭,兩手用力絞緊,極其痛苦,我現在的痛苦比那還要嚴重。又譬如屠夫殺牛,用鋒利的刀子活生生地割開它的肚子,取出內臟,那牛的腹痛該是多麼難以忍受啊!我現在的腹痛比那牛還要厲害。又譬如兩個壯士抓住一個虛弱的人,把他懸在火上,燒他的兩腳,我現在的兩腳發熱比那還要厲害。』

當時,陀娑比丘回到諸位上座那裡,把差摩比丘所說的病情,詳細地告訴了諸位上座。

English version: 'It is difficult to first become a Brahmin, now I am a Brahmin, having bathed and cleansed away the defilements, I have crossed to the other shore of the gods.'

The Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Scroll Four

In this sutra and this scroll, the meanings of the texts of the Guo and Song versions are completely identical, both having nineteen sutras, totaling twenty-five sheets. The Dan version has fifteen sutras, and if written according to the Song Tripitaka format, it could become twenty-seven sheets. Moreover, its meaning is completely different from the Guo and Song versions, and it is unknown which to adopt. Now, examining the sutras of the Guo and Song versions, in the lower stream case, this sutra is the forty-second scroll. The Song Tripitaka mistakenly reprinted that scroll here, as the first four scrolls, and the Guo version also followed this mistake, which is incorrect! Therefore, that part should be removed, and the sutra of the Dan version should be adopted. Taisho Tripitaka, Volume 02, No. 0099, Miscellaneous Agama Sutra

The Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Scroll Five

Translated by the Tripitaka Master Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

(103)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, there were many senior monks residing in the Ghosila Garden in the country of Kosambi.

At that time, there was the monk Chamma residing in the Bhadra Garden in the country of Kosambi, who was suffering from a serious illness.

At that time, there was the monk Dasa who was taking care of the sick. At that time, the monk Dasa went to the senior monks, bowed at the feet of the senior monks, and stood to one side.

The senior monks said to the monk Dasa: 'Go to the monk Chamma and tell him: 'The senior monks ask about you, is your body a little better and at peace? Has your suffering not increased?'

At that time, the monk Dasa received the instructions of the senior monks, went to the monk Chamma, and said to the monk Chamma: 'The senior monks send their regards to you, is your suffering gradually decreasing? Are the various sufferings not increasing?'

The monk Chamma said to the monk Dasa: 'My illness has not improved, my body is not at peace, and the various sufferings are constantly increasing, with no way to be saved. It is like a strong man grabbing a weak person, wrapping a rope around his head, and squeezing tightly with both hands, causing extreme pain. My current pain is even greater than that. It is also like a butcher slaughtering a cow, using a sharp knife to cut open its belly while it is alive, and taking out its internal organs. How unbearable the cow's abdominal pain must be! My current abdominal pain is even worse than that of the cow. It is also like two strong men grabbing a weak person, suspending him over a fire, and burning his two feet. My current burning sensation in my feet is even worse than that.'

At that time, the monk Dasa returned to the senior monks and reported in detail to the senior monks the condition of the illness as described by the monk Chamma.


時,諸上座還遣陀娑比丘至差摩比丘所,語差摩比丘言:「世尊所說,有五受陰。何等為五?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰,汝差摩能少觀察此五受陰非我、非我所耶?」

時,陀娑比丘受諸上座比丘教已,往語差摩比丘言:「諸上座語汝,世尊說五受陰,汝少能觀察非我、非我所耶?」

差摩比丘語陀娑言:「我于彼五受陰能觀察非我、非我所。」

陀娑比丘還白諸上座:「差摩比丘言:『我於五受陰能觀察非我、非我所。』」

諸上座比丘復遣陀娑比丘語差摩比丘言:「汝能於五受陰觀察非我、非我所,如漏盡阿羅漢耶?」

時,陀娑比丘受諸上座比丘教,往詣差摩比丘所,語差摩言:「比丘能如是觀五受陰者,如漏盡阿羅漢耶?」

差摩比丘語陀娑比丘言:「我觀五受陰非我、非我所,非漏盡阿羅漢也。」

時,陀娑比丘還至諸上座所,白諸上座:「差摩比丘言:『我觀五受陰非我、非我所,而非漏盡阿羅漢也。』」

時,諸上座語陀娑比丘:「汝復還語差摩比丘:『汝言:「我觀五受陰非我、非我所,而非漏盡阿羅漢。」前後相違。』」

陀娑比丘受諸上座比丘教,往語差摩比丘:「汝言:『我觀五受陰非我、非我所,而非漏盡阿羅漢。』前後相違。」

差摩比丘語陀娑比丘言:「我於五受陰觀察非我、非我所,而非阿羅漢者,我於我慢、我欲、我使,未斷、未知、未離、未吐

現代漢語譯本:當時,各位上座派遣陀娑比丘去差摩比丘那裡,告訴差摩比丘說:『世尊所說,有五種受陰。哪五種呢?色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。你差摩能稍微觀察這五種受陰不是我,也不是我所擁有的嗎?』 陀娑比丘接受各位上座比丘的教導后,前往告訴差摩比丘說:『各位上座告訴你,世尊說有五種受陰,你稍微能觀察它們不是我,也不是我所擁有的嗎?』 差摩比丘告訴陀娑說:『我對於那五種受陰能夠觀察到它們不是我,也不是我所擁有的。』 陀娑比丘回去稟告各位上座:『差摩比丘說:「我對於五種受陰能夠觀察到它們不是我,也不是我所擁有的。」』 各位上座比丘又派遣陀娑比丘告訴差摩比丘說:『你能夠對於五種受陰觀察到它們不是我,也不是我所擁有的,就像漏盡的阿羅漢一樣嗎?』 當時,陀娑比丘接受各位上座比丘的教導,前往差摩比丘那裡,告訴差摩說:『比丘能夠這樣觀察五種受陰,就像漏盡的阿羅漢一樣嗎?』 差摩比丘告訴陀娑比丘說:『我觀察五種受陰不是我,也不是我所擁有的,但我不是漏盡的阿羅漢。』 當時,陀娑比丘回到各位上座那裡,稟告各位上座:『差摩比丘說:「我觀察五種受陰不是我,也不是我所擁有的,但我不是漏盡的阿羅漢。」』 當時,各位上座告訴陀娑比丘:『你再回去告訴差摩比丘:「你說『我觀察五種受陰不是我,也不是我所擁有的,但我不是漏盡的阿羅漢』,前後矛盾。」』 陀娑比丘接受各位上座比丘的教導,前往告訴差摩比丘:『你說「我觀察五種受陰不是我,也不是我所擁有的,但我不是漏盡的阿羅漢」,前後矛盾。』 差摩比丘告訴陀娑比丘說:『我對於五種受陰觀察到它們不是我,也不是我所擁有的,但不是阿羅漢,是因為我對於我慢、我欲、我使,還沒有斷除、沒有知曉、沒有脫離、沒有捨棄。』

English version: At that time, the elder monks sent the monk Dasa to the monk Chamma, telling him, 'The World Honored One said that there are five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? The aggregate of form, the aggregates of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Can you, Chamma, observe these five aggregates as not-self and not belonging to self?' Having received the instructions from the elder monks, the monk Dasa went and told the monk Chamma, 'The elder monks told you that the World Honored One said there are five aggregates of clinging. Can you observe them as not-self and not belonging to self?' The monk Chamma told Dasa, 'I can observe those five aggregates as not-self and not belonging to self.' The monk Dasa returned and reported to the elder monks, 'The monk Chamma said, 「I can observe the five aggregates as not-self and not belonging to self.」' The elder monks again sent the monk Dasa to tell the monk Chamma, 'Can you observe the five aggregates as not-self and not belonging to self, like an Arhat who has attained the extinction of outflows?' At that time, having received the instructions from the elder monks, the monk Dasa went to the monk Chamma and told him, 'Can a monk who observes the five aggregates in this way be like an Arhat who has attained the extinction of outflows?' The monk Chamma told the monk Dasa, 'I observe the five aggregates as not-self and not belonging to self, but I am not an Arhat who has attained the extinction of outflows.' At that time, the monk Dasa returned to the elder monks and reported, 'The monk Chamma said, 「I observe the five aggregates as not-self and not belonging to self, but I am not an Arhat who has attained the extinction of outflows.」' At that time, the elder monks told the monk Dasa, 'You go back and tell the monk Chamma, 「You said, 『I observe the five aggregates as not-self and not belonging to self, but I am not an Arhat who has attained the extinction of outflows,』 which is contradictory.」' Having received the instructions from the elder monks, the monk Dasa went and told the monk Chamma, 'You said, 「I observe the five aggregates as not-self and not belonging to self, but I am not an Arhat who has attained the extinction of outflows,」 which is contradictory.' The monk Chamma told the monk Dasa, 'My observing the five aggregates as not-self and not belonging to self, but not being an Arhat, is because my conceit, desire, and underlying tendencies related to self have not been cut off, not been known, not been detached from, and not been relinquished.'


。」

陀娑比丘還至諸上座所,白諸上座:「差摩比丘言:『我於五受陰觀察非我、非我所,而非漏盡阿羅漢者,於五受陰我慢、我欲、我使,未斷、未知、未離、未吐。』」

諸上座復遣陀娑比丘語差摩比丘言:「汝言有我,於何所有我?為色是我?為我異色?受、想、行、識是我?為我異識耶?」

差摩比丘語陀娑比丘言:「我不言色是我,我異色;受、想、行、識是我,我異識。然於五受陰我慢、我欲、我使,未斷、未知、未離、未吐。」

差摩比丘語陀娑比丘言:「何煩令汝驅驅往反?汝取杖來,我自扶杖,詣彼上座,愿授以杖。」差摩比丘即自扶杖,詣諸上座。

時,諸上座遙見差摩比丘扶杖而來,自為敷座,安停腳機,自往迎接,為持衣缽,命令就座,共相慰勞。慰勞已,語差摩比丘言:「汝言我慢,何所見我?色是我耶?我異色耶?受、想、行、識是我耶?我異識耶?」

差摩比丘白言:「非色是我,非我異色;非受、想、行、識是我,非我異識。能於五受陰我慢、我欲、我使,未斷、未知、未離、未吐。譬如優缽羅、缽曇摩、拘牟頭、分陀利華香,為即根香耶?為香異根耶?為莖葉須精粗香耶?為香異精粗耶?為等說不?」

諸上座答言:「不也,差摩比丘!非優缽羅、缽曇摩、拘牟頭、分陀利根即是香、非香異根,亦非莖葉須精粗是香,亦非香異精粗也。」

差摩比丘復問:「彼何等香?」

上座答言:「是華香。」

差摩比丘復言:「我亦如是

現代漢語譯本 陀娑比丘回到各位上座那裡,稟告說:『差摩比丘說:「我觀察五蘊,認為它們非我、非我所,但並非已漏盡的阿羅漢,對於五蘊的『我慢』、『我欲』、『我使』,尚未斷除、未知、未離、未吐。」』 各位上座又派陀娑比丘去告訴差摩比丘說:『你說有『我』,這個『我』存在於哪裡?是色是我嗎?還是『我』異於色?受、想、行、識是我嗎?還是『我』異於識?』 差摩比丘告訴陀娑比丘說:『我沒有說色是我,或者『我』異於色;受、想、行、識是我,或者『我』異於識。然而,對於五蘊的『我慢』、『我欲』、『我使』,我尚未斷除、未知、未離、未吐。』 差摩比丘告訴陀娑比丘說:『何必讓你這樣來回奔波?你拿根枴杖來,我親自扶著枴杖,去見各位上座,請你把枴杖給我。』差摩比丘就自己扶著枴杖,去見各位上座。 當時,各位上座遠遠看見差摩比丘扶著枴杖走來,就自己鋪設座位,安放腳踏,親自前去迎接,為他拿著衣缽,請他入座,互相慰問。慰問完畢,問差摩比丘說:『你說有『我慢』,你認為『我』存在於哪裡?是色是我嗎?還是『我』異於色?受、想、行、識是我嗎?還是『我』異於識?』 差摩比丘回答說:『不是色是我,也不是『我』異於色;不是受、想、行、識是我,也不是『我』異於識。我只是對於五蘊的『我慢』、『我欲』、『我使』,尚未斷除、未知、未離、未吐。譬如優缽羅花、缽曇摩花、拘牟頭花、分陀利花的香氣,是根的香氣嗎?還是香氣異於根?是莖葉須精粗的香氣嗎?還是香氣異於精粗?還是應該這樣說?』 各位上座回答說:『不是的,差摩比丘!優缽羅花、缽曇摩花、拘牟頭花、分陀利花的根不是香氣,香氣也不是異於根,莖葉須精粗也不是香氣,香氣也不是異於精粗。』 差摩比丘又問:『那是什麼香氣呢?』 上座回答說:『是花香。』 差摩比丘又說:『我也是這樣』

English version The monk Tosa returned to the senior monks and reported, 'The monk Chama said, 「I observe the five aggregates as not-self and not-mine, but I am not yet a fully liberated Arhat. Regarding the five aggregates, the conceit 『I am,』 the desire 『I want,』 and the underlying tendency 『I am,』 have not been abandoned, known, detached from, or relinquished.」' The senior monks then sent Tosa back to tell Chama, 'You say there is an 『I.』 Where does this 『I』 exist? Is form the 『I』? Or is the 『I』 different from form? Are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness the 『I』? Or is the 『I』 different from consciousness?' Chama told Tosa, 'I do not say that form is the 『I,』 or that the 『I』 is different from form; nor do I say that feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are the 『I,』 or that the 『I』 is different from consciousness. However, regarding the five aggregates, the conceit 『I am,』 the desire 『I want,』 and the underlying tendency 『I am,』 have not been abandoned, known, detached from, or relinquished.' Chama told Tosa, 'Why bother making you run back and forth? Bring me a staff, and I will support myself with it and go to the senior monks myself. Please give me the staff.' Chama then supported himself with the staff and went to the senior monks. When the senior monks saw Chama approaching with a staff from afar, they prepared a seat for him, placed a footstool, went to greet him, held his robe and bowl, invited him to sit, and exchanged greetings. After the greetings, they asked Chama, 'You speak of 『I am』 conceit. Where do you see this 『I』? Is form the 『I』? Or is the 『I』 different from form? Are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness the 『I』? Or is the 『I』 different from consciousness?' Chama replied, 'Form is not the 『I,』 nor is the 『I』 different from form; feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are not the 『I,』 nor is the 『I』 different from consciousness. It is just that regarding the five aggregates, the conceit 『I am,』 the desire 『I want,』 and the underlying tendency 『I am,』 have not been abandoned, known, detached from, or relinquished. For example, the fragrance of the blue lotus, the red lotus, the white lotus, and the white water lily, is it the fragrance of the root? Or is the fragrance different from the root? Is it the fragrance of the stem, leaves, filaments, or coarse parts? Or is the fragrance different from these parts? Or how should it be described?' The senior monks replied, 'No, Chama! The root of the blue lotus, the red lotus, the white lotus, and the white water lily is not the fragrance, nor is the fragrance different from the root. The stem, leaves, filaments, and coarse parts are not the fragrance, nor is the fragrance different from these parts.' Chama then asked, 'Then what is the fragrance?' The senior monks replied, 'It is the fragrance of the flower.' Chama then said, 'It is the same with me.'


。非色即我,我不離色;非受、想、行識即我,我不離識。然我於五受陰見非我、非我所,而於我慢、我欲、我使,未斷、未知、未離、未吐。諸上座聽我說譬,凡智者,因譬類得解。譬如乳母衣,付浣衣者,以種種灰湯,浣濯塵垢,猶有餘氣,要以種種雜香,薰令消滅。如是,多聞聖弟子離於五受陰,正觀非我、非我所,能於五受陰我慢、我欲、我使,未斷、未知、未離、未吐,然後於五受陰增進思惟,觀察生滅,此色、此色集、此色滅,此受、想、行、識,此識集、此識滅。於五受陰如是觀生滅已,我慢、我欲、我使,一切悉除,是名真實正觀。」

差摩比丘說此法時,彼諸上座遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。差摩比丘不起諸漏,心得解脫,法喜利故,身病悉除。

時,諸上座比丘語差摩比丘言:「我聞仁者初所說,已解已樂,況復重聞!所以問者,欲發仁者微妙辯才,非為嬈亂汝,便堪能廣說如來、應、等正覺法。」

時,諸上座聞差摩比丘所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,有比丘名焰摩迦,起惡邪見,作如是言:「如我解佛所說法,漏盡阿羅漢身壞命終更無所有。」

時,有眾多比丘聞彼所說,往詣其所,語焰摩迦比丘言:「汝實作是說:『如我解佛所說法,漏盡阿羅漢身壞命終更無所有』耶?」

答言:「實爾。諸尊!」

時,諸比丘語焰摩迦:「勿謗世尊!謗世尊者不善,世尊不作是說,汝當盡舍此惡邪見

現代漢語譯本:不是色就等同於我,我不能脫離色;不是受、想、行、識就等同於我,我不能脫離識。然而,我對於五蘊(色、受、想、行、識)的認知是它們並非『我』,也非『我所擁有』,但是對於『我慢』、『我欲』、『我使』這些煩惱,我還沒有斷除、沒有認知、沒有脫離、沒有放下。各位上座請聽我說個比喻,凡是有智慧的人,可以通過比喻來理解道理。比如,乳母的衣服交給洗衣人,用各種灰水洗滌污垢,仍然會有殘留的氣味,需要用各種香料燻蒸才能消除。同樣,多聞的聖弟子雖然已經認識到五蘊並非『我』,也非『我所擁有』,但是對於五蘊中的『我慢』、『我欲』、『我使』這些煩惱,還沒有斷除、沒有認知、沒有脫離、沒有放下。然後,他們需要進一步思維,觀察五蘊的生滅變化,即『此色生、此色集、此色滅』,『此受、想、行、識生,此識集、此識滅』。當他們這樣觀察五蘊的生滅之後,『我慢』、『我欲』、『我使』這些煩惱都會被徹底清除,這才是真正的正見。差摩比丘在講述這個佛法的時候,那些上座比丘們都遠離了塵垢,獲得了清凈的法眼。差摩比丘自己也因為沒有了煩惱,內心得到了解脫,因為佛法的喜悅,身上的疾病也全部消失了。當時,那些上座比丘對差摩比丘說:『我們聽您第一次講的時候就已經理解並且感到歡喜了,更何況現在又聽了一遍!我們之所以問您,是想引發您更精妙的辯才,並不是要擾亂您,您完全可以廣泛地宣說如來、應供、正等覺的佛法。』當時,那些上座比丘聽了差摩比丘所說的法,都非常歡喜,並且按照佛法去修行。(一〇四)我是這樣聽說的:有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,有一位名叫焰摩迦的比丘,生起了邪惡的見解,他說:『根據我對佛陀所說法的理解,漏盡的阿羅漢在身壞命終之後,就什麼都沒有了。』當時,有很多比丘聽到了他所說的話,就去找到他,對焰摩迦比丘說:『你真的說了這樣的話嗎?「根據我對佛陀所說法的理解,漏盡的阿羅漢在身壞命終之後,就什麼都沒有了。」』他回答說:『確實是這樣,各位尊者!』當時,那些比丘對焰摩迦說:『不要誹謗世尊!誹謗世尊是不對的,世尊不是這樣說的,你應該徹底放棄這種邪惡的見解。』 現代漢語譯本:不是色就等同於我,我不能脫離色;不是受、想、行、識就等同於我,我不能脫離識。然而,我對於五蘊(色、受、想、行、識)的認知是它們並非『我』,也非『我所擁有』,但是對於『我慢』、『我欲』、『我使』這些煩惱,我還沒有斷除、沒有認知、沒有脫離、沒有放下。各位上座請聽我說個比喻,凡是有智慧的人,可以通過比喻來理解道理。比如,乳母的衣服交給洗衣人,用各種灰水洗滌污垢,仍然會有殘留的氣味,需要用各種香料燻蒸才能消除。同樣,多聞的聖弟子雖然已經認識到五蘊並非『我』,也非『我所擁有』,但是對於五蘊中的『我慢』、『我欲』、『我使』這些煩惱,還沒有斷除、沒有認知、沒有脫離、沒有放下。然後,他們需要進一步思維,觀察五蘊的生滅變化,即『此色生、此色集、此色滅』,『此受、想、行、識生,此識集、此識滅』。當他們這樣觀察五蘊的生滅之後,『我慢』、『我欲』、『我使』這些煩惱都會被徹底清除,這才是真正的正見。差摩比丘在講述這個佛法的時候,那些上座比丘們都遠離了塵垢,獲得了清凈的法眼。差摩比丘自己也因為沒有了煩惱,內心得到了解脫,因為佛法的喜悅,身上的疾病也全部消失了。當時,那些上座比丘對差摩比丘說:『我們聽您第一次講的時候就已經理解並且感到歡喜了,更何況現在又聽了一遍!我們之所以問您,是想引發您更精妙的辯才,並不是要擾亂您,您完全可以廣泛地宣說如來、應供、正等覺的佛法。』當時,那些上座比丘聽了差摩比丘所說的法,都非常歡喜,並且按照佛法去修行。(一〇四)我是這樣聽說的:有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,有一位名叫焰摩迦的比丘,生起了邪惡的見解,他說:『根據我對佛陀所說法的理解,漏盡的阿羅漢在身壞命終之後,就什麼都沒有了。』當時,有很多比丘聽到了他所說的話,就去找到他,對焰摩迦比丘說:『你真的說了這樣的話嗎?「根據我對佛陀所說法的理解,漏盡的阿羅漢在身壞命終之後,就什麼都沒有了。」』他回答說:『確實是這樣,各位尊者!』當時,那些比丘對焰摩迦說:『不要誹謗世尊!誹謗世尊是不對的,世尊不是這樣說的,你應該徹底放棄這種邪惡的見解。』

English version: 'Form is not me, I am not separate from form; feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are not me, I am not separate from consciousness. However, I see the five aggregates (form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness) as not-self and not-mine, but I have not yet abandoned, understood, detached from, or relinquished the conceit, desire, and underlying tendencies related to 『I』. Venerable elders, listen to my simile. Wise people understand through similes. For example, a wet nurse』s garment is given to a washerman, who washes away the dirt with various kinds of lye, but some odor remains. It must be fumigated with various kinds of perfumes to eliminate it. Similarly, a well-learned noble disciple, having detached from the five aggregates, correctly sees them as not-self and not-mine. However, the conceit, desire, and underlying tendencies related to 『I』 in the five aggregates have not been abandoned, understood, detached from, or relinquished. Then, they further contemplate the arising and passing away of the five aggregates: 『This is the arising of form, this is the origin of form, this is the cessation of form; this is the arising of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, this is the origin of consciousness, this is the cessation of consciousness.』 Having thus contemplated the arising and passing away of the five aggregates, all conceit, desire, and underlying tendencies related to 『I』 are completely eliminated. This is called true right view.』 When the bhikkhu Chamma spoke this Dharma, those elders were freed from defilement and gained the pure Dharma eye. Bhikkhu Chamma, having no more defilements, attained liberation of mind, and because of the joy of the Dharma, his physical illness was completely cured. Then, those elder bhikkhus said to Bhikkhu Chamma, 『We understood and rejoiced when we first heard you speak, how much more so now that we have heard it again! We asked you in order to elicit your subtle eloquence, not to disturb you. You are capable of widely expounding the Dharma of the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One.』 Then, those elder bhikkhus, having heard what Bhikkhu Chamma said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

。」

諸比丘說此語時,焰摩迦比丘猶執惡邪見,作如是言:「諸尊!唯此真實,異則虛妄。」如是三說。

時,諸比丘不能調伏焰摩迦比丘,即便捨去,往詣尊者舍利弗所,語尊者舍利弗言:「尊者!當知彼焰摩迦比丘起如是惡邪見言:『我解知佛所說法,漏盡阿羅漢身壞命終更無所有。』我等聞彼所說已,故往問焰摩迦比丘:『汝實作如是知見耶?』彼答我言:『諸尊!實爾,異則愚說。』我即語言:『汝勿謗世尊!世尊不作此語,汝當舍此惡邪見。』再三諫彼,猶不捨惡邪見,是故我今詣尊者所,唯愿尊者,當令焰摩迦比丘息惡邪見,憐愍彼故!」

舍利弗言:「如是,我當令彼息惡邪見。」

時,眾多比丘聞舍利弗語,歡喜隨喜,而還本處。

爾時,尊者舍利弗晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,出城,還精舍舉衣缽已,往詣焰摩迦比丘所。時,焰摩迦比丘遙見尊者舍利弗來,即為敷座洗足,安停腳機奉迎,為執衣缽,請令就座。

尊者舍利弗就座、洗足已,語焰摩迦比丘:「汝實作如是語:『我解知世尊所說法,漏盡阿羅漢身壞命終無所有』耶?」

焰摩迦比丘白舍利弗言:「實爾,尊者舍利弗!」

舍利弗言:「我今問汝,隨意答我。云何,焰摩迦!色為常耶?為非常耶?」

答言:「尊者舍利弗!無常。」

復問:「若無常者,是苦不?」

答言:「是苦

當衆比丘說這些話時,焰摩迦比丘仍然固執己見,堅持說:『諸位尊者,只有這個才是真實的,其他的都是虛妄的。』他這樣說了三次。 當時,眾比丘無法說服焰摩迦比丘,便離開了,去拜訪尊者舍利弗,告訴他:『尊者,請您知道,焰摩迦比丘產生了這樣的邪見,他說:『我理解佛陀所說的教法,漏盡的阿羅漢在身壞命終后就什麼都不存在了。』我們聽他這麼說后,就去問焰摩迦比丘:『你真的有這樣的見解嗎?』他回答我們說:『諸位尊者,確實如此,否則就是愚蠢的說法。』我們便告訴他:『你不要誹謗世尊!世尊沒有這樣說過,你應該放棄這種邪見。』我們再三勸告他,他仍然不放棄邪見,所以我們現在來拜訪尊者,希望尊者能夠讓焰摩迦比丘停止這種邪見,可憐他啊!』 舍利弗說:『好的,我會讓他停止這種邪見。』 當時,許多比丘聽到舍利弗的話,都歡喜讚歎,然後回到各自的地方。 那時,尊者舍利弗早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,他出城,回到精舍,收拾好衣缽,然後去拜訪焰摩迦比丘。當時,焰摩迦比丘遠遠地看到尊者舍利弗來了,就為他鋪好座位,洗好腳,放好腳踏,迎接他,幫他拿著衣缽,請他坐下。 尊者舍利弗坐下,洗完腳后,問焰摩迦比丘:『你真的說過這樣的話嗎?『我理解世尊所說的教法,漏盡的阿羅漢在身壞命終后就什麼都不存在了』?』 焰摩迦比丘回答舍利弗說:『確實如此,尊者舍利弗!』 舍利弗說:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。焰摩迦,色是常住的嗎?還是無常的呢?』 回答說:『尊者舍利弗,是無常的。』 又問:『如果無常,那是苦嗎?』 回答說:『是苦。』

When the bhikkhus spoke these words, the bhikkhu Yamaka still held onto his wrong view, saying, 'Venerable ones, this alone is true, and anything else is false.' He said this three times. At that time, the bhikkhus were unable to persuade the bhikkhu Yamaka, so they left and went to Venerable Sariputta, telling him, 'Venerable one, please know that the bhikkhu Yamaka has arisen with such a wrong view, saying: 『I understand the Dhamma taught by the Buddha, that a perfected Arahant, with the ending of defilements, upon the breaking up of the body at death, no longer exists.』 After hearing him say this, we went to ask the bhikkhu Yamaka: 『Do you really have such a view?』 He replied to us: 『Venerable ones, it is indeed so, otherwise it would be a foolish statement.』 We then told him: 『Do not slander the Blessed One! The Blessed One did not say this, you should abandon this wrong view.』 We advised him repeatedly, but he still did not abandon his wrong view, so we are now visiting the Venerable one, hoping that the Venerable one can make the bhikkhu Yamaka cease this wrong view, out of compassion for him!』 Sariputta said, 'Very well, I will make him cease this wrong view.' At that time, many bhikkhus, hearing Sariputta's words, rejoiced and were pleased, and then returned to their own places. Then, Venerable Sariputta, in the morning, having dressed and taken his bowl, entered Savatthi for alms. After eating, he left the city, returned to the monastery, put away his robes and bowl, and then went to visit the bhikkhu Yamaka. At that time, the bhikkhu Yamaka, seeing Venerable Sariputta coming from afar, immediately prepared a seat, washed his feet, placed a footstool, welcomed him, took his robes and bowl, and invited him to sit down. Venerable Sariputta sat down, washed his feet, and then asked the bhikkhu Yamaka: 'Did you really say these words: 『I understand the Dhamma taught by the Blessed One, that a perfected Arahant, with the ending of defilements, upon the breaking up of the body at death, no longer exists』?' The bhikkhu Yamaka replied to Sariputta, 'Indeed, Venerable Sariputta!' Sariputta said, 'Now I will ask you, answer me as you wish. Yamaka, is form permanent or impermanent?' He replied, 'Venerable Sariputta, it is impermanent.' He asked again, 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' He replied, 'It is suffering.'

復問:「若無常、苦,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于中見我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也,尊者舍利弗!」

「受、想、行、識亦復如是。」復問:「云何,焰摩迦!色是如來耶?」

答言:「不也,尊者舍利弗!」

「受、想、行、識是如來耶?」

「如是,焰摩迦!如來見法真實、如住,無所得、無所施設,汝云何言:『我解知世尊所說,漏盡阿羅漢身壞命終無所有。』為時說耶?」

答言:「不也,尊者舍利弗!」

復問:「焰摩迦!先言:『我解知世尊所說,漏盡阿羅漢身壞命終無所有。』云何今復言非耶?」

焰摩迦比丘言:「尊者舍利弗!我先不解、無明故,作如是惡邪見說,聞尊者舍利弗說已,不解、無明,一切悉斷

現代漢語譯本 又問:『如果無常、苦,是變易之法,多聞的聖弟子難道會在其中見到我、異於我、或與我相關聯嗎?』 回答說:『不會的,尊者舍利弗!』 『受、想、行、識也是如此。』又問:『那麼,焰摩迦!色是如來嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,尊者舍利弗!』 『受、想、行、識是如來嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,尊者舍利弗!』 又問:『那麼,焰摩迦!在色之外有如來嗎?在受、想、行、識之外有如來嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,尊者舍利弗!』 又問:『在色之中有如來嗎?在受、想、行、識之中有如來嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,尊者舍利弗!』 又問:『在如來中有色嗎?在如來中有受、想、行、識嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,尊者舍利弗!』 又問:『在非色、受、想、行、識中有如來嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,尊者舍利弗!』 『如此,焰摩迦!如來所見的法是真實的、如實存在的,無所得、無所施設,你為何說:『我理解世尊所說,漏盡的阿羅漢身壞命終后什麼都不存在。』你這樣說是對的嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,尊者舍利弗!』 又問:『焰摩迦!你先前說:『我理解世尊所說,漏盡的阿羅漢身壞命終后什麼都不存在。』為何現在又說不是呢?』 焰摩迦比丘說:『尊者舍利弗!我先前因為不理解、無明,才說了這樣的錯誤邪見,聽了尊者舍利弗的說法后,不理解和無明都已斷除。』

English version Again he asked: 『If there is impermanence and suffering, which are subject to change, would a well-learned noble disciple see in them a self, something different from self, or something related to self?』 He replied: 『No, Venerable Sariputta!』 『The same is true of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.』 He asked again: 『Now, Yamaka, is form the Tathagata?』 He replied: 『No, Venerable Sariputta!』 『Are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness the Tathagata?』 He replied: 『No, Venerable Sariputta!』 Again he asked: 『Now, Yamaka, is there a Tathagata apart from form? Is there a Tathagata apart from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness?』 He replied: 『No, Venerable Sariputta!』 Again he asked: 『Is there a Tathagata in form? Is there a Tathagata in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness?』 He replied: 『No, Venerable Sariputta!』 Again he asked: 『Is there form in the Tathagata? Are there feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness in the Tathagata?』 He replied: 『No, Venerable Sariputta!』 Again he asked: 『Is there a Tathagata in what is not form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness?』 He replied: 『No, Venerable Sariputta!』 『Thus, Yamaka, the Tathagata sees the Dhamma as it truly is, as it exists, without grasping or conceptualizing. Why do you say: 『I understand the Blessed One』s teaching that a perfected one, with defilements ended, is annihilated and ceases to exist upon the dissolution of the body.』 Is that a correct statement?』 He replied: 『No, Venerable Sariputta!』 Again he asked: 『Yamaka, you said earlier: 『I understand the Blessed One』s teaching that a perfected one, with defilements ended, is annihilated and ceases to exist upon the dissolution of the body.』 Why do you now say it is not so?』 The bhikkhu Yamaka said: 『Venerable Sariputta, I previously spoke such wrong and misguided views due to my lack of understanding and ignorance. Having heard Venerable Sariputta』s explanation, my lack of understanding and ignorance have been completely eradicated.』


。」

復問:「焰摩迦!若復問:『比丘!如先惡邪見所說,今何所知見一切悉得遠離?』汝當云何答?」

焰摩迦答言:「尊者舍利弗!若有來問者,我當如是答:『漏盡阿羅漢色無常,無常者是苦,苦者寂靜、清涼、永沒。受、想、行、識亦復如是。』有來問者,作如是答。」

舍利弗言:「善哉!善哉!焰摩迦比丘!汝應如是答。所以者何?漏盡阿羅漢色無常,無常者是苦,若無常、苦者,是生滅法。受、想、行、識亦復如是。」

尊者舍利弗說是法時,焰摩迦比丘遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。

尊者舍利弗語焰摩迦比丘:「今當說譬,夫智者以譬得解。如長者子,長者子大富多財,廣求僕從,善守護財物。時,有怨家惡人,詐來親附,為作僕從,常伺其便,晚眠早起,侍息左右,謹敬其事,遜其言辭,令主意悅,作親友想、子想,極信不疑,不自防護,然後手執利刀,以斷其命。焰摩迦比丘!于意云何?彼惡怨家,為長者親友,非為初始方便,害心常伺其便,至其終耶?而彼長者,不能覺知,至今受害。」

答言:「實爾。尊者!」

舍利弗語焰摩迦比丘:「于意云何?彼長者本知彼人詐親欲害,善自防護,不受害耶?」

答言:「如是,尊者舍利弗!」

「如是,焰摩迦比丘!愚癡無聞凡夫於五受陰作常想、安隱想、不病想、我想、我所想,於此五受陰保持護惜,終為此五受陰怨家所害。如彼長者,為詐親怨家所害而不覺知

又問:『焰摩迦!如果再有人問:『比丘!像你先前邪見所說的那樣,現在你通過什麼知見才能完全遠離那些邪見?』你應當如何回答?』 焰摩迦回答說:『尊者舍利弗!如果有人這樣問,我應當這樣回答:『漏盡的阿羅漢的色是無常的,無常的就是苦,苦的就是寂靜、清涼、永遠消滅的。受、想、行、識也是如此。』如果有人這樣問,我就這樣回答。』 舍利弗說:『好啊!好啊!焰摩迦比丘!你應當這樣回答。為什麼呢?因為漏盡的阿羅漢的色是無常的,無常的就是苦,如果無常、苦,那就是生滅法。受、想、行、識也是如此。』 尊者舍利弗說這些法的時候,焰摩迦比丘遠離塵垢,得到了法眼清凈。 尊者舍利弗對焰摩迦比丘說:『現在我來說個比喻,有智慧的人通過比喻就能理解。比如一個長者的兒子,這個長者的兒子非常富有,擁有很多財富,廣泛地招募僕人,善於守護財物。當時,有一個仇敵惡人,假裝來親近,做他的僕人,常常伺機而動,晚睡早起,侍奉左右,恭敬地做事,言辭謙遜,讓主人感到高興,把他當成親友、兒子一樣看待,極其信任而不懷疑,不自我防備,然後手持利刀,殺害了他的性命。焰摩迦比丘!你認為怎麼樣?那個惡毒的仇敵,是長者的親友嗎?還是從一開始就心懷惡意,伺機而動,直到最後呢?而那個長者,不能覺察,直到現在才受到傷害。』 回答說:『確實如此,尊者!』 舍利弗對焰摩迦比丘說:『你認為怎麼樣?那個長者如果一開始就知道那個人是假裝親近想要加害,善於自我防備,還會受到傷害嗎?』 回答說:『不會的,尊者舍利弗!』 『是這樣的,焰摩迦比丘!愚癡無聞的凡夫對於五受陰產生常想、安穩想、不病想、我想、我所想,對於這五受陰保持愛護,最終被這五受陰的怨家所害。就像那個長者,被假裝親近的仇敵所害而不知。』

Again he asked: 'Yamaka, if someone were to ask: 'Monk, as you previously held wrong views, what knowledge and insight do you now possess that allows you to completely abandon those views?' How would you answer?' Yamaka replied: 'Venerable Sariputta, if someone were to ask me that, I would answer: 'The form of an Arhat who has attained the extinction of defilements is impermanent; what is impermanent is suffering; what is suffering is peaceful, cool, and completely extinguished. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this.' If someone were to ask me that, I would answer in this way.' Sariputta said: 'Excellent! Excellent, Monk Yamaka! You should answer in this way. Why? Because the form of an Arhat who has attained the extinction of defilements is impermanent; what is impermanent is suffering; and what is impermanent and suffering is subject to arising and passing away. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this.' While Venerable Sariputta was explaining this Dharma, Monk Yamaka became free from dust and defilements, and his eye of Dharma became clear. Venerable Sariputta said to Monk Yamaka: 'Now I will give an analogy, for the wise understand through analogies. Imagine a wealthy man's son, who is very rich and has many possessions. He hires many servants to protect his wealth. At that time, an enemy, an evil person, pretends to be friendly and becomes his servant. He is always looking for an opportunity, sleeping late and waking early, attending to his master's needs, being respectful in his actions and words, making his master happy, and being regarded as a close friend or son. The master trusts him completely and does not suspect him. Then, the servant takes a sharp knife and kills him. Monk Yamaka, what do you think? Is that evil enemy a friend of the wealthy man, or was he always harboring malicious intent, waiting for an opportunity until the end? And the wealthy man, unable to perceive this, suffers harm even now.' He replied: 'Indeed, Venerable!' Sariputta said to Monk Yamaka: 'What do you think? If the wealthy man had known from the beginning that the person was pretending to be friendly and intended to harm him, and had protected himself well, would he have suffered harm?' He replied: 'No, Venerable Sariputta!' 'It is like this, Monk Yamaka! Ignorant and unlearned ordinary people regard the five aggregates of clinging as permanent, secure, free from illness, as 'I' and 'mine'. They cherish and protect these five aggregates of clinging, and ultimately they are harmed by these five aggregates of clinging, which are like enemies. Just like that wealthy man, who was harmed by an enemy pretending to be a friend without realizing it.'


。焰摩迦!多聞聖弟子於此五受陰,觀察如病、如癰、如刺、如殺,無常、苦、空、非我、非我所,於此五受陰不著、不受、不受故不著,不著故自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

尊者舍利弗說是法時,焰摩迦比丘不起諸漏,心得解脫,尊者舍利弗為焰摩迦比丘說法,示、教、照、喜已,從座起去。

(一〇五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,有外道出家名仙尼,來詣佛所,恭敬問訊,於一面坐。白佛言:「世尊!先一日時,若沙門、若婆羅門、若遮羅迦、若出家,集於希有講堂。如是義稱,富蘭那迦葉為大眾主,五百弟子前後圍繞。其中有極聰慧者、有鈍根者,及其命終,悉不記說其所往生處。復有末迦梨瞿舍利子為大眾主,五百弟子前後圍繞。其諸弟子有聰慧者、有鈍根者,及其命終,悉不記說所往生處。如是先阇那毗羅胝子、阿耆多翅舍欽婆羅、迦羅拘陀迦栴延、尼揵陀若提子等,各與五百弟子前後圍繞,亦如前者。沙門瞿曇爾時亦在彼論中言。沙門瞿曇為大眾主,其諸弟子,有命終者。即記說言:『某生彼處、某生此處。』我先生疑:『云何沙門瞿曇得如此法?』」

佛告仙尼:「汝莫生疑。以有惑故,彼則生疑。仙尼!當知有三種師。何等為三?有一師,見現在世真實是我,如所知說,而無能知命終後事,是名第一師出於世間。複次,仙尼!有一師,見現在世真實是我,命終之後亦見是我,如所知說

『焰摩迦!多聞聖弟子對於這五種受陰,觀察它們如同疾病、癰瘡、毒刺、殺戮,是無常的、痛苦的、空虛的、非我所有的、不屬於我的,對於這五種受陰不執著、不接受、因為不接受所以不執著,因為不執著所以自覺涅槃:『我的生命已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來生。』 當尊者舍利弗說這法時,焰摩迦比丘不再有任何煩惱,心得到解脫。尊者舍利弗為焰摩迦比丘說法,開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜后,從座位起身離去。 (一〇五) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位外道出家人名叫仙尼,來到佛陀所在的地方,恭敬地問候,然後坐在一旁。他向佛陀說道:『世尊!前些日子,一些沙門、婆羅門、遮羅迦以及其他出家人,聚集在希有講堂。當時,富蘭那迦葉被推舉為大眾的首領,有五百名弟子前後圍繞。其中有非常聰明的,也有根器遲鈍的,但他們死後,都沒有人能說出他們往生何處。還有末迦梨瞿舍利子被推舉為大眾的首領,有五百名弟子前後圍繞。他的弟子中也有聰明的和遲鈍的,但他們死後,也沒有人能說出他們往生何處。像先阇那毗羅胝子、阿耆多翅舍欽婆羅、迦羅拘陀迦栴延、尼揵陀若提子等人,也各自有五百名弟子前後圍繞,情況和前面一樣。當時沙門瞿曇也在那個辯論中發言。沙門瞿曇作為大眾的首領,他的弟子中,有死去的,他就能說出:『某人往生到那裡,某人往生到這裡。』我當時就產生了疑問:『沙門瞿曇是如何得到這種能力的?』 佛陀告訴仙尼:『你不要疑惑。因為有迷惑,他們才會產生疑惑。仙尼!你要知道有三種導師。是哪三種呢?第一種導師,認為現在世的真實存在是『我』,並且按照他所知道的來說,但是他不能知道人死後的事情,這被稱為第一種導師出現在世間。其次,仙尼!有一種導師,認為現在世的真實存在是『我』,死後也認為存在『我』,並且按照他所知道的來說。

'Yamaka! A well-instructed noble disciple, regarding these five aggregates of clinging as disease, a boil, a dart, a slaughter, as impermanent, painful, empty, not-self, not belonging to self, does not cling to these five aggregates of clinging, does not accept them, and because he does not accept them, he does not cling to them, and because he does not cling to them, he realizes Nirvana: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, I know that there is no more future existence.』' When the Venerable Sariputta spoke this teaching, the monk Yamaka was freed from all defilements, and his mind was liberated. After the Venerable Sariputta had taught, instructed, inspired, and gladdened the monk Yamaka, he rose from his seat and departed. (105) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove at Kalandaka in Rajagaha. At that time, there was an ascetic of another sect named Senni, who came to where the Buddha was, respectfully greeted him, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, a few days ago, some ascetics, Brahmins, Carakas, and other renunciates gathered in the Hall of Rare Things. There, Purana Kassapa was the leader of the assembly, with five hundred disciples surrounding him. Among them were some who were very intelligent and some who were dull, but when they died, none of them could say where they were reborn. Then there was Makkhali Gosala, who was the leader of the assembly, with five hundred disciples surrounding him. Among his disciples were some who were intelligent and some who were dull, but when they died, none of them could say where they were reborn. Similarly, Ajita Kesakambali, Pakudha Kaccayana, and Nigantha Nataputta, each with five hundred disciples surrounding them, were the same. At that time, the ascetic Gotama was also in that discussion. The ascetic Gotama, as the leader of the assembly, when his disciples died, he could say: 『So-and-so was reborn there, so-and-so was reborn here.』 I was then in doubt: 『How does the ascetic Gotama obtain such knowledge?』' The Buddha said to Senni: 'Do not doubt. Because of delusion, they have doubts. Senni! Know that there are three kinds of teachers. What are the three? There is one teacher who sees the present world as truly 『I』, and speaks according to what he knows, but he cannot know what happens after death. This is called the first kind of teacher who appears in the world. Furthermore, Senni! There is a teacher who sees the present world as truly 『I』, and also sees 『I』 after death, and speaks according to what he knows.


。複次,先尼!有一師,不見現在世真實是我,亦復不見命終之後真實是我。

「仙尼!其第一師見現在世真實是我,如所知說者,名曰斷見。彼第二師見今世後世真實是我,如所知說者,則是常見。彼第三師不見現在世真實是我,命終之後,亦不見我,是則如來、應、等正覺說,現法愛斷、離欲、滅盡、涅槃。」

仙尼白佛言:「世尊!我聞世尊所說,遂更增疑。」

佛告仙尼:「正應增疑。所以者何?此甚深處,難見、難知,應須甚深照微妙至到,聰慧所了,凡眾生類,未能辯知。所以者何?眾生長夜異見、異忍、異求、異欲故。」

仙尼白佛言:「世尊!我於世尊所,心得凈信,唯愿世尊為我說法,令我即於此座,慧眼清凈。」

佛告仙尼:「今當爲汝隨所樂說。」

佛告仙尼:「色是常耶?為無常耶?」

答言:「無常。」

世尊復問:「仙尼!若無常者,是苦耶?」

答言:「是苦。」

世尊復問仙尼:「若無常、苦,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于中見我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

「受、想、行、識亦復如是

現代漢語譯本:再者,仙尼!有一位導師,他認為現在世的『我』不是真實的,也認為命終之後的『我』也不是真實的。 『仙尼!第一位導師認為現在世的『我』是真實的,並且如他所知的那樣宣說,這被稱為斷見。第二位導師認為今世和後世的『我』都是真實的,並且如他所知的那樣宣說,這就是常見。第三位導師認為現在世的『我』不是真實的,命終之後,也認為沒有『我』,這才是如來、應供、正等覺所說的,現世的愛慾斷絕、離欲、滅盡、涅槃。』 仙尼對佛說:『世尊!我聽了世尊所說,反而更加疑惑了。』 佛告訴仙尼:『你理應更加疑惑。為什麼呢?因為這道理非常深奧,難以見到,難以理解,需要非常深刻的智慧和微妙的洞察力才能領悟,只有聰慧的人才能明白,而凡夫俗子是無法分辨理解的。為什麼呢?因為眾生長期以來持有不同的見解、不同的執著、不同的追求、不同的慾望。』 仙尼對佛說:『世尊!我對世尊所說的話,內心已經產生了清凈的信心,只希望世尊能為我說法,讓我能在這座位上,慧眼清凈。』 佛告訴仙尼:『現在我將為你隨你所樂意說的。』 佛告訴仙尼:『色是常住不變的嗎?還是無常變化的呢?』 回答說:『是無常的。』 世尊又問:『仙尼!如果它是無常的,那麼它是苦的嗎?』 回答說:『是苦的。』 世尊又問仙尼:『如果它是無常、苦,是變易之法,那麼博學多聞的聖弟子會認為其中有『我』、『異於我』、『存在於我之中』嗎?』 回答說:『不會的,世尊!』 『受、想、行、識也是如此。』

English version: Furthermore, Sanni! There is a teacher who does not see the 'self' as real in the present life, nor does he see the 'self' as real after death. 'Sanni! The first teacher sees the 'self' as real in the present life, and speaks as he knows, which is called annihilationism. The second teacher sees the 'self' as real in both this life and the next, and speaks as he knows, which is called eternalism. The third teacher does not see the 'self' as real in the present life, nor does he see a 'self' after death, which is what the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One, teaches: the cessation of love in the present, detachment, extinction, and Nirvana.' Sanni said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir! Having heard what the Venerable Sir has said, I am even more doubtful.' The Buddha told Sanni, 'You should indeed be more doubtful. Why is that? Because this is a very profound place, difficult to see, difficult to understand, requiring very deep insight and subtle penetration, understood by the wise, but not able to be discerned by ordinary people. Why is that? Because beings have long held different views, different attachments, different pursuits, and different desires.' Sanni said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir! I have developed pure faith in what the Venerable Sir has said. I only wish that the Venerable Sir would teach me the Dharma, so that I may purify my eye of wisdom right here in this seat.' The Buddha told Sanni, 'Now I will speak to you as you wish.' The Buddha told Sanni, 'Is form permanent, or is it impermanent?' He answered, 'It is impermanent.' The Venerable One asked again, 'Sanni! If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' He answered, 'It is suffering.' The Venerable One asked Sanni again, 'If it is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, would a well-learned noble disciple see 'self', 'different from self', or 'existing within self' in it?' He answered, 'No, Venerable Sir!' 'So it is with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.'


。」復問:「云何?仙尼!色是如來耶?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

「受、想、行、識是如來耶?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

復問:「仙尼!異色有如來耶?異受、想、行、識有如來耶?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

復問:「仙尼!色中有如來耶?受、想、行、識中有如來耶?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

復問:「仙尼!如來中有色耶?如來中有受、想、行、識耶?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

復問:「仙尼!非色,非受、想、行、識有如來耶?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

佛告仙尼:「我諸弟子聞我所說,不悉解義而起慢無間等;非無間等故,慢則不斷;慢不斷故,舍此陰已,與陰相續生。是故,仙尼!我則記說,是諸弟子身壞命終,生彼彼處。所以者何?以彼有餘慢故。

「仙尼!我諸弟子於我所說,能解義者,彼于諸慢得無間等,得無間等故,諸慢則斷,諸慢斷故,身壞命終,更不相續。仙尼!如是弟子我不說彼舍此陰已,生彼彼處。所以者何?無因緣可記說故。欲令我記說者,當記說:『彼斷諸愛慾,永離有結,正意解脫,究竟苦邊。』我從昔來及今現在常說慢過、慢集、慢生、慢起,若於慢無間等觀,眾苦不生。」

佛說此法時,仙尼出家遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。

爾時,仙尼出家見法、得法,斷諸疑惑,不由他知,不由他度,于正法中,心得無畏

現代漢語譯本:又問:『怎麼樣?仙尼!色是如來嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,世尊!』 『受、想、行、識是如來嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,世尊!』 又問:『仙尼!在色之外有如來嗎?在受、想、行、識之外有如來嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,世尊!』 又問:『仙尼!在色之中有如來嗎?在受、想、行、識之中有如來嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,世尊!』 又問:『仙尼!在如來中有色嗎?在如來中有受、想、行、識嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,世尊!』 又問:『仙尼!非色,非受、想、行、識有如來嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,世尊!』 佛告訴仙尼:『我的弟子們聽我所說,不能完全理解其中的含義,因而生起我慢,沒有間斷地增長;因為沒有間斷地增長,所以我慢就不能斷除;我慢不能斷除,所以他們捨棄這個五蘊之後,還會與五蘊相續而生。因此,仙尼!我才記說,這些弟子身壞命終后,會生到各個地方。這是為什麼呢?因為他們還有殘餘的我慢。』 『仙尼!我的弟子們對於我所說的,能夠理解其中含義的,他們對於各種我慢能夠做到沒有間斷地平等對待,因為能夠做到沒有間斷地平等對待,所以各種我慢就能斷除,各種我慢斷除后,他們身壞命終,就不會再相續輪迴。仙尼!這樣的弟子,我不說他們捨棄這個五蘊之後,會生到各個地方。這是為什麼呢?因為沒有因緣可以記說。如果想要我記說,應當記說:『他們斷除了各種愛慾,永遠脫離了有結,以正念解脫,最終到達了苦的盡頭。』我從過去到現在一直都在說我慢的過患、我慢的集起、我慢的產生、我慢的興起,如果對於我慢能夠做到沒有間斷地平等觀察,各種痛苦就不會產生。』 佛說此法時,仙尼出家,遠離塵垢,得到了法眼清凈。 當時,仙尼出家,見到法、得到法,斷除了各種疑惑,不依賴於他人知曉,不依賴於他人度化,在正法中,內心獲得了無畏。

English version: Again he asked: 『How is it, Sanni? Is form the Tathagata?』 She replied: 『No, Lord.』 『Are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness the Tathagata?』 She replied: 『No, Lord.』 Again he asked: 『Sanni, is there a Tathagata apart from form? Is there a Tathagata apart from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness?』 She replied: 『No, Lord.』 Again he asked: 『Sanni, is there a Tathagata in form? Is there a Tathagata in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness?』 She replied: 『No, Lord.』 Again he asked: 『Sanni, is there form in the Tathagata? Is there feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness in the Tathagata?』 She replied: 『No, Lord.』 Again he asked: 『Sanni, is there a Tathagata that is neither form nor feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness?』 She replied: 『No, Lord.』 The Buddha told Sanni: 『My disciples, when they hear what I say, do not fully understand the meaning and thus give rise to conceit, which grows without interruption. Because it grows without interruption, conceit is not abandoned. Because conceit is not abandoned, they, having given up this aggregate, continue to be reborn with aggregates. Therefore, Sanni, I say that these disciples, when their bodies break up at death, are reborn in various places. Why is that? Because they still have residual conceit.』 『Sanni, those of my disciples who understand the meaning of what I say, they attain equanimity regarding all conceits, and because they attain equanimity, all conceits are abandoned. Because all conceits are abandoned, when their bodies break up at death, they are no longer reborn. Sanni, I do not say that such disciples, having given up this aggregate, are reborn in various places. Why is that? Because there is no cause or condition to say so. If you want me to say something, I should say: 『They have abandoned all desires, are forever free from the fetters of existence, are liberated with right understanding, and have reached the end of suffering.』 From the past until now, I have always spoken of the faults of conceit, the arising of conceit, the birth of conceit, and the origination of conceit. If one observes conceit with uninterrupted equanimity, suffering will not arise.』 When the Buddha spoke this Dharma, Sanni went forth, became free from defilement, and attained the purity of the Dharma eye. At that time, Sanni, having gone forth, saw the Dharma, attained the Dharma, cut off all doubts, not relying on others' knowledge, not relying on others' guidance, and in the true Dharma, her mind became fearless.


。從座起,合掌白佛言:「世尊!我得於正法中出家修梵行不?」

佛告仙尼:「汝于正法得出家、受具足戒、得比丘分。」

爾時,仙尼得出家已,獨一靜處修不放逸,住如是思惟:「所以族姓子剃除鬚髮,正信非家,出家學道,修行梵行,見法自知得證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」得阿羅漢。

聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,有比丘名阿㝹羅度,住耆阇崛山。

時,有眾多外道出家往詣阿㝹羅度所,共相問訊。共相問訊已,於一面住,白阿㝹羅度言:「欲有所問,寧有閑暇為解釋不?」

阿㝹羅度語諸外道言:「隨所欲問,知者當答。」

諸外道復問:「云何?尊者!如來死後為有耶?」

阿㝹羅度言:「如世尊說,此是無記。」

又問:「如來死後為無耶?」

阿㝹羅度言:「如世尊說,此亦無記。」

又問:「如來死後有無耶?非有非無耶?」

阿㝹羅度言:「如世尊說,此亦無記。」

復問阿㝹羅度言:「云何?尊者!如來死後有耶?說言無記。死後無耶?說言無記。死後有無耶?非有非無耶?說言無記。云何?尊者!沙門瞿曇為不知、不見耶?」

阿㝹羅度言:「世尊非不知、非不見。」

時,諸外道于阿㝹羅度所說,心不喜悅,呵罵已,從座起去

現代漢語譯本 她從座位上起身,合掌向佛陀說道:『世尊!我可以在正法中出家修行梵行嗎?』 佛陀告訴仙尼:『你可以在正法中出家,受具足戒,成為比丘。』 當時,仙尼出家后,獨自一人在安靜的地方精進修行,不放逸。她這樣思惟:『那些出身高貴的人剃除鬚髮,以堅定的信仰離開家庭,出家學道,修行梵行,親身證悟,知道:『我的生死已經結束,梵行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』她證得了阿羅漢果。 聽了佛陀所說,她歡喜地奉行。 (一〇六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,有一位比丘名叫阿㝹羅度,住在耆阇崛山。 當時,有許多外道出家人來到阿㝹羅度所在的地方,互相問候。問候完畢后,他們在一旁坐下,對阿㝹羅度說:『我們想請教一些問題,您是否有空為我們解答?』 阿㝹羅度對外道們說:『你們想問什麼就問吧,知道的我會回答。』 外道們又問:『尊者,如來死後是存在的嗎?』 阿㝹羅度說:『世尊說過,這個問題是無記的。』 他們又問:『如來死後是不存在的嗎?』 阿㝹羅度說:『世尊說過,這個問題也是無記的。』 他們又問:『如來死後是既存在又不存在嗎?還是既非存在也非不存在?』 阿㝹羅度說:『世尊說過,這個問題也是無記的。』 他們又問阿㝹羅度:『尊者,如來死後是存在的嗎?您說無記。死後是不存在的嗎?您說無記。死後是既存在又不存在嗎?還是既非存在也非不存在?您說無記。尊者,沙門瞿曇是不知道、不瞭解這些嗎?』 阿㝹羅度說:『世尊並非不知道,也並非不瞭解。』 當時,這些外道對阿㝹羅度所說的話感到不高興,呵斥謾罵后,就從座位上起身離開了。

English version Rising from her seat, she joined her palms and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, may I go forth from home into homelessness in this righteous Dharma and practice the holy life?' The Buddha told the nun: 'You may go forth from home into homelessness in this righteous Dharma, receive the full ordination, and become a bhikkhuni.' Then, having gone forth, the nun dwelt alone in a quiet place, practicing diligently and without negligence. She reflected thus: 'Those of good family shave their hair and beard, leave home with firm faith, go forth to learn the Way, practice the holy life, and realize the Dharma for themselves, knowing: 'Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know that there is no more future existence.' She attained Arhatship. Having heard what the Buddha said, she joyfully practiced it. (106) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, there was a bhikkhu named Anuruddha, who was dwelling on Gijjhakuta Mountain. Then, many ascetics of other sects went to where Anuruddha was, and after exchanging greetings, they sat down to one side and said to Anuruddha: 'We wish to ask some questions; do you have the time to explain them to us?' Anuruddha said to the ascetics: 'Ask whatever you wish; I will answer what I know.' The ascetics then asked: 'Venerable Sir, does the Tathagata exist after death?' Anuruddha said: 'As the World Honored One has said, this is an unanswerable question.' They asked again: 'Does the Tathagata not exist after death?' Anuruddha said: 'As the World Honored One has said, this is also an unanswerable question.' They asked again: 'Does the Tathagata both exist and not exist after death? Or neither exist nor not exist?' Anuruddha said: 'As the World Honored One has said, this is also an unanswerable question.' They then asked Anuruddha: 'Venerable Sir, does the Tathagata exist after death? You say it is unanswerable. Does he not exist after death? You say it is unanswerable. Does he both exist and not exist after death? Or neither exist nor not exist? You say it is unanswerable. Venerable Sir, does the ascetic Gotama not know or not see these things?' Anuruddha said: 'The World Honored One neither does not know nor does not see.' Then, these ascetics were displeased with what Anuruddha had said, and after scolding and reviling him, they rose from their seats and left.


時,阿㝹羅度知諸外道去已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,於一面住,以諸外道所問,向佛廣說,白佛言:「世尊!彼如是問,我如是答,為順諸法說耶?得無謗世尊耶?為順法耶?為違法耶?無令他來難詰,墮呵責處耶?」

佛告阿㝹羅度言:「我今問汝,隨所問答。阿㝹羅度!色為常耶?為無常耶?」

答言:「無常。」

「受、想、行、識,為常、無常耶?」

答言:「無常。世尊!」

如焰摩迦契經廣說,乃至「識是如來耶?」

答曰:「不也。」

佛告阿㝹羅度:「作如是說者,隨順諸記,不謗如來,非為越次;如如來說,諸次法說,無有能來難詰訶責者。所以者何?我於色如實知,色集、色滅、色滅道跡如實知。阿㝹羅度!若舍如來所作,無知無見說者,此非等說。」

佛說此經已,阿㝹羅度聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住婆祇國設首婆羅山鹿野深林中。

爾時,有那拘羅長者,百二十歲,年耆根熟,羸劣苦病,而欲覲見世尊及先所宗重知識比丘,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我年衰老,羸劣苦病,自力勉勵,覲見世尊及先所宗重知識比丘,唯愿世尊為我說法,令我長夜安樂!」

爾時,世尊告那拘羅長者:「善哉!長者!汝實年老根熟,羸劣苦患,而能自力覲見如來並余宗重知識比丘。長者當知,于苦患身,常當修學不苦患身。」

爾時,世尊為那拘羅長者示、教、照、喜,默然而住

現代漢語譯本:當時,阿㝹羅度知道那些外道已經離開后,就前往佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,然後站在一旁,把那些外道所問的問題,詳細地向佛陀陳述,並稟告佛陀說:『世尊!他們這樣問,我這樣回答,我的回答是符合佛法的嗎?有沒有誹謗世尊呢?是符合佛法的嗎?還是違背佛法的呢?會不會讓別人來責難,使我陷入被呵斥的境地呢?』 佛陀告訴阿㝹羅度說:『我現在問你,你隨我的問題回答。阿㝹羅度!色是常住的嗎?還是無常的呢?』 阿㝹羅度回答說:『是無常的。』 『受、想、行、識,是常住的,還是無常的呢?』 阿㝹羅度回答說:『是無常的,世尊!』 就像《焰摩迦契經》中詳細說的那樣,一直到『識是如來嗎?』 阿㝹羅度回答說:『不是。』 佛陀告訴阿㝹羅度說:『像這樣回答,是符合佛陀的教導的,沒有誹謗如來,也沒有越過次第;就像如來所說的那樣,按照次第說法,沒有人能夠來責難呵斥。為什麼呢?因為我對於色,如實地知道它的實相,知道色的生起、色的滅去、以及滅色的道路。阿㝹羅度!如果捨棄如來所說的,而說自己無知無見的,那是不正確的說法。』 佛陀說完這部經后,阿㝹羅度聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地接受並奉行。 (一〇七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在婆祇國設首婆羅山鹿野深林中。 當時,有一位名叫那拘羅的長者,一百二十歲了,年老體衰,身體虛弱多病,但他仍然想要拜見世尊和以前所尊敬的知識比丘,於是來到佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,稟告佛陀說:『世尊!我年老體衰,身體虛弱多病,但還是勉力前來拜見世尊和以前所尊敬的知識比丘,希望世尊能為我說法,讓我長夜安樂!』 這時,世尊告訴那拘羅長者說:『很好!長者!你確實年老體衰,身體虛弱多病,但還能勉力前來拜見如來和其餘所尊敬的知識比丘。長者應當知道,對於這個充滿苦患的身體,應當常常修學不苦患的身體。』 這時,世尊為那拘羅長者開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜,然後就默然不語了。

English version: Then, Anuruddha, knowing that those ascetics had left, went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and stood to one side. He recounted to the Buddha in detail the questions those ascetics had asked, and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, they asked thus, and I answered thus. Is my answer in accordance with the Dharma? Have I not slandered the Venerable One? Is it in accordance with the Dharma? Or is it against the Dharma? Will it not cause others to challenge me and put me in a position of being rebuked?' The Buddha said to Anuruddha, 'Now I will ask you, and you answer as I ask. Anuruddha, is form permanent or impermanent?' Anuruddha replied, 'Impermanent.' 'Are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness permanent or impermanent?' Anuruddha replied, 'Impermanent, Venerable Sir!' As it is explained in detail in the Yamaka Sutta, up to 'Is consciousness the Tathagata?' Anuruddha replied, 'No, it is not.' The Buddha said to Anuruddha, 'To answer in this way is in accordance with the teachings, without slandering the Tathagata, and without going beyond the proper order. As the Tathagata has taught, speaking in accordance with the order of the Dharma, no one can come to challenge or rebuke you. Why is that? Because I truly know form, its arising, its cessation, and the path leading to its cessation. Anuruddha, if one abandons what the Tathagata has taught and speaks out of ignorance and lack of understanding, that is not a correct teaching.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, Anuruddha, having heard the Buddha's words, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (107) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park in the deep forest of Sesavara Mountain in the country of Bhagga. At that time, there was an elder named Nakula, one hundred and twenty years old, advanced in age, with weakened faculties, frail and suffering from illness. Yet, he desired to see the Venerable One and the monks who were his respected teachers. He came to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, I am old and frail, suffering from illness. I have made the effort to come and see the Venerable One and the monks who are my respected teachers. I beseech the Venerable One to teach me the Dharma, so that I may have peace and happiness for a long time!' Then, the Buddha said to Nakula, the elder, 'Well done, elder! You are indeed old and frail, suffering from illness, yet you have made the effort to come and see the Tathagata and the other respected teachers. Elder, you should know that with this body that is full of suffering, you should always train yourself in a body that is free from suffering.' Then, the Buddha instructed, taught, inspired, and gladdened Nakula, the elder, and remained silent.


那拘羅長者聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,禮佛而去。

時,尊者舍利弗去世尊不遠,坐一樹下。那拘羅長者往詣尊者舍利弗所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。時,尊者舍利弗問長者言:「汝今諸根和悅,貌色鮮明,於世尊所得聞深法耶?」

那拘羅長者白舍利弗:「今日世尊為我說法,示、教、照、喜,以甘露法,灌我身心,是故我今諸根和悅,顏貌鮮明。」

尊者舍利弗問長者言:「世尊為汝說何等法,示、教、照、喜,甘露潤澤?」

那拘羅長者白舍利弗:「我向詣世尊所,白世尊言:『我年衰老,羸劣苦患,自力而來,覲見世尊及所宗重知識比丘。』佛告我言:『善哉!長者!汝實衰老,羸劣苦患,而能自力詣我及見先所宗重比丘。汝今於此苦患之身,常當修學不苦患身。』

「世尊為我說如是法,示、教、照、喜,甘露潤澤。」

尊者舍利弗問長者言:「汝向何不重問世尊:『云何苦患身、苦患心?云何苦患身、不苦患心?』」

長者答言:「我以是義故,來詣尊者,唯愿為我略說法要。」

尊者舍利弗語長者言:「善哉!長者!汝今諦聽!當爲汝說。愚癡無聞凡夫於色集、色滅、色患、色味、色離不如實知;不如實知故,愛樂於色,言色是我、是我所,而取攝受。彼色若壞、若異,心識隨轉,惱苦生;惱苦生已,恐怖、障閡、顧念、憂苦、結戀。于受、想、行、識亦復如是。是名身心苦患

現代漢語譯本 那拘羅長者聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀行禮后離去。 當時,尊者舍利弗離世尊不遠,坐在一棵樹下。那拘羅長者前往尊者舍利弗處,行禮叩拜后,退坐在一旁。這時,尊者舍利弗問長者說:『你現在諸根和悅,容貌氣色鮮明,是從世尊那裡聽聞了甚深佛法嗎?』 那拘羅長者對舍利弗說:『今天世尊為我說法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜,用甘露佛法,灌溉我的身心,因此我現在諸根和悅,容貌氣色鮮明。』 尊者舍利弗問長者說:『世尊為你說了什麼法,能讓你如此開示、教導、啓發、歡喜,如甘露般滋潤?』 那拘羅長者對舍利弗說:『我之前去見世尊,對世尊說:『我年老體衰,虛弱多病,自己勉力前來,拜見世尊以及我所敬重的比丘。』佛陀告訴我:『很好!長者!你確實年老體衰,虛弱多病,卻能自己前來見我和你先前敬重的比丘。你現在對於這個苦患之身,應當常常修學不苦患之身。』 『世尊為我說了這樣的法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜,如甘露般滋潤。』 尊者舍利弗問長者說:『你剛才為何不再次請問世尊:『什麼是苦患之身、苦患之心?什麼是苦患之身、不苦患之心?』』 長者回答說:『我正是因為這個道理,才來拜見尊者,希望您能為我簡略地說一下法要。』 尊者舍利弗對長者說:『很好!長者!你現在仔細聽!我將為你解說。愚癡無知的凡夫對於色(物質)的生起、滅去、過患、滋味、離散不能如實知曉;因為不能如實知曉,所以愛戀執著於色,認為色是我、是我的所有,而加以攝取。當色壞滅或變異時,心識也隨之轉變,產生惱苦;惱苦產生后,就會有恐怖、障礙、顧念、憂愁、苦惱、執戀。對於受、想、行、識也是如此。這就是所謂的『身心苦患』。

English version Then, the elder Nakula, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and, with a joyful heart, bowed to the Buddha and departed. At that time, the venerable Sariputra was not far from the Blessed One, sitting under a tree. The elder Nakula went to the venerable Sariputra, bowed his head to his feet, and sat down to one side. Then, the venerable Sariputra asked the elder, 'Your faculties are now serene, and your complexion is bright. Have you heard some profound teaching from the Blessed One?' The elder Nakula replied to Sariputra, 'Today, the Blessed One taught me the Dharma, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening me with the nectar of the Dharma, thus my faculties are now serene, and my complexion is bright.' The venerable Sariputra asked the elder, 'What Dharma did the Blessed One teach you that showed, instructed, illuminated, and gladdened you, like a nectarous balm?' The elder Nakula replied to Sariputra, 'I went to the Blessed One and said, 『I am old and frail, suffering from illness, and I have come by my own effort to see the Blessed One and the venerable monks whom I respect.』 The Buddha told me, 『Well done, elder! You are indeed old and frail, suffering from illness, yet you have come by your own effort to see me and the monks you previously respected. Now, regarding this suffering body, you should always train in a body that does not suffer.』 'The Blessed One taught me such a Dharma, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening me, like a nectarous balm.' The venerable Sariputra asked the elder, 'Why did you not ask the Blessed One again, 『What is a suffering body and a suffering mind? What is a suffering body and a non-suffering mind?』』 The elder replied, 'It is for this very reason that I have come to see you, venerable one, hoping that you might briefly explain the essence of the Dharma for me.' The venerable Sariputra said to the elder, 'Well done, elder! Now listen carefully! I will explain it to you. Ignorant and unlearned ordinary people do not truly understand the arising, ceasing, fault, taste, and escape of form (materiality); because they do not truly understand, they are attached to form, thinking that form is 『I』 or 『mine,』 and they grasp and cling to it. When form is destroyed or changes, the mind also changes, and suffering arises; once suffering arises, there is fear, obstruction, concern, sorrow, distress, and attachment. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. This is what is called 『suffering of body and mind.』'


「云何身苦患、心不苦患?多聞聖弟子於色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離如實知;如實知已,不生愛樂,見色是我、是我所,彼色若變、若異,心不隨轉惱苦生;心不隨轉惱苦生已,得不恐怖、障礙、顧念、結戀。受、想、行、識亦復如是。是名身苦患、心不苦患。」

尊者舍利弗說是法時,那拘羅長者得法眼凈。爾時,那拘羅長者見法、得法、知法、入法,度諸狐疑,不由於他,于正法中,心得無畏。從座起,整衣服,恭敬合掌,白尊者舍利弗:「我已超、已度,我今歸依佛、法、僧寶,為優婆塞,證知我,我今盡壽歸依三寶。」

爾時,那拘羅長者聞尊者舍利弗所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一〇八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住釋氏天現聚落。

爾時,有西方眾多比丘欲還西方安居,詣世尊所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊為其說法,示、教、照、喜。種種示、教、照、喜已,時西方眾多比丘從座起,合掌白佛言:「世尊!我西方眾多比丘欲還西方安居,今請奉辭。」

佛告西方諸比丘:「汝辭舍利弗未?」

答言:「未辭。」

佛告西方諸比丘:「舍利弗淳修梵行,汝當奉辭,能令汝等以義饒益,長夜安樂。」

時,西方諸比丘辭退欲去。時,尊者舍利弗去佛不遠,坐一堅固樹下,西方諸比丘往詣尊者舍利弗所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白尊者舍利弗言:「我等欲還西方安居,故來奉辭。」

舍利弗言:「汝等辭世尊未?」

答言:「已辭

現代漢語譯本 『如何是身體受苦,而心不受苦呢?』多聞的聖弟子對於色(物質現象)的生起、滅去、其樂味、其過患、以及其離散,如實地知曉;如實知曉后,不生起愛戀執著,不認為色是『我』或『我的』。當色發生變化或變異時,心不隨之動搖,不生惱苦;心不隨之動搖,不生惱苦后,便不會產生恐懼、障礙、顧念、以及執著。受、想、行、識也是如此。這稱為身體受苦,而心不受苦。 當尊者舍利弗宣說此法時,那拘羅長者獲得了法眼清凈。那時,那拘羅長者見法、得法、知法、入法,度脫了一切疑惑,不依賴他人,在正法中,內心獲得無畏。他從座位上站起,整理好衣服,恭敬地合掌,對尊者舍利弗說:『我已經超越、已經度脫,我現在皈依佛、法、僧三寶,成為優婆塞,請您證明我,我今生都將皈依三寶。』 那時,那拘羅長者聽聞尊者舍利弗所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮后離去。 (一〇八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在釋迦族的天現聚落。 那時,有許多來自西方的比丘想要返回西方安居,他們來到世尊處,頂禮佛足,然後退坐在一旁。 那時,世尊為他們說法,開示、教導、啓發、令他們歡喜。在種種開示、教導、啓發、令他們歡喜后,西方的眾多比丘從座位上站起,合掌對佛說:『世尊!我們西方的眾多比丘想要返回西方安居,現在前來告辭。』 佛陀告訴西方的比丘們:『你們向舍利弗告辭了嗎?』 他們回答說:『還沒有告辭。』 佛陀告訴西方的比丘們:『舍利弗純粹地修行梵行,你們應當向他告辭,他能使你們在義理上得到饒益,長夜安樂。』 當時,西方的比丘們告辭想要離去。那時,尊者舍利弗離佛不遠,坐在一棵堅固的樹下,西方的比丘們前往尊者舍利弗處,頂禮他的雙足,然後退坐在一旁,對尊者舍利弗說:『我們想要返回西方安居,所以前來告辭。』 舍利弗說:『你們向世尊告辭了嗎?』 他們回答說:『已經告辭了。』

English version 'How is it that the body suffers, but the mind does not suffer?' A well-learned noble disciple truly understands the arising, ceasing, gratification, danger, and escape from form (material phenomena); having truly understood this, they do not develop attachment or craving, and do not view form as 'I' or 'mine'. When form changes or alters, the mind does not waver, and no distress arises; when the mind does not waver, and no distress arises, they do not experience fear, obstruction, concern, or clinging. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. This is called the body suffering, but the mind not suffering. When the Venerable Sariputra spoke this Dharma, the householder Nakula attained the purity of the Dharma eye. At that time, Nakula saw the Dharma, attained the Dharma, knew the Dharma, entered the Dharma, transcended all doubts, was not dependent on others, and in the true Dharma, his mind became fearless. He rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, respectfully joined his palms, and said to the Venerable Sariputra: 'I have transcended, I have been liberated, I now take refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, becoming a lay disciple, please acknowledge me, for the rest of my life I will take refuge in the Three Jewels.' At that time, the householder Nakula, having heard what the Venerable Sariputra had said, rejoiced and was delighted, paid his respects, and departed. (108) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Shakyan village of Tendency. At that time, there were many monks from the West who wished to return to the West for the rainy season retreat. They went to the World-Honored One, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side. At that time, the World-Honored One taught them the Dharma, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening them. After various showings, instructions, illuminations, and gladdenings, the many monks from the West rose from their seats, joined their palms, and said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! We, the many monks from the West, wish to return to the West for the rainy season retreat, and now come to take our leave.' The Buddha said to the monks from the West: 'Have you taken leave of Sariputra?' They replied: 'We have not taken leave.' The Buddha said to the monks from the West: 'Sariputra is purely practicing the holy life, you should take leave of him, he can benefit you in meaning, and bring you long-lasting peace.' At that time, the monks from the West took their leave and wished to depart. At that time, the Venerable Sariputra was not far from the Buddha, sitting under a sturdy tree. The monks from the West went to the Venerable Sariputra, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Venerable Sariputra: 'We wish to return to the West for the rainy season retreat, so we have come to take our leave.' Sariputra said: 'Have you taken leave of the World-Honored One?' They replied: 'We have taken leave.'


。」

舍利弗言:「汝等還西方,處處異國,種種異眾,必當問汝。汝等今於世尊所,聞善說法,當善受、善持、善觀、善入,足能為彼具足宣說,不毀佛耶?不令彼眾難問、詰責、墮負處耶?」

彼諸比丘白舍利弗:「我等為聞法故,來詣尊者,唯愿尊者具為我說,哀愍故!」

尊者舍利弗告諸比丘:「閻浮提人聰明利根,若剎利、若婆羅門、若長者、若沙門,必當問汝:『汝彼大師云何說法?以何教教汝?』當答言:『大師唯說調伏欲貪,以此教教。』

「當復問汝:『於何法中調伏欲貪?』當復答言:『大師唯說于彼色陰調伏欲貪,于受、想、行、識陰調伏欲貪,我大師如是說法。』

「彼當復問:『欲貪有何過患故,大師說於色調伏欲貪?受、想、行、識調伏欲貪?』汝復應答言:『若於色慾不斷、貪不斷、愛不斷、念不斷、渴不斷者,彼色若變、若異,則生憂、悲、惱、苦。受、想、行、識亦復如是。見欲貪有如是過故,於色調伏欲貪,于受、想、行、識調伏欲貪。』

「彼復當問:『見斷欲貪,有何福利故,大師說於色調伏欲貪,于受、想、行、識調伏欲貪?』當復答言:『若於色斷欲、斷貪、斷念、斷愛、斷渴,彼色若變、若異,不起憂、悲、惱、苦。受、想、行、識亦復如是。』

「諸尊!若受諸不善法因緣故,今得現法樂住,不苦、不礙、不惱、不熱,身壞命終生於善處者,世尊終不說言:『當斷諸不善法。亦不教人于佛法中修諸梵行,得盡苦邊

現代漢語譯本 舍利弗說:『你們回到西方,在各個不同的國家,面對各種不同的人群,他們一定會問你們。你們現在在世尊這裡,聽聞了善妙的佛法,應當好好地接受、好好地持守、好好地觀察、好好地領悟,這樣才能為他們圓滿地宣說,不詆譭佛陀,不讓那些人難以提問、詰責、陷入困境。』 那些比丘對舍利弗說:『我們爲了聽聞佛法,才來到尊者這裡,只希望尊者為我們詳細解說,出於慈悲!』 尊者舍利弗告訴那些比丘:『閻浮提的人聰明敏銳,無論是剎帝利、婆羅門、長者還是沙門,他們一定會問你們:『你們的導師是如何說法的?用什麼教導你們?』你們應當回答說:『導師只說調伏慾望和貪婪,用這個教導我們。』 『他們還會問你們:『在什麼法中調伏慾望和貪婪?』你們應當回答說:『導師只說在色陰中調伏慾望和貪婪,在受、想、行、識陰中調伏慾望和貪婪,我的導師是這樣說法的。』 『他們還會問:『慾望和貪婪有什麼過患,所以導師說要在色中調伏慾望和貪婪?在受、想、行、識中調伏慾望和貪婪?』你們應當回答說:『如果對色不斷除、貪婪不斷除、愛戀不斷除、執念不斷除、渴求不斷除,那麼色如果變化、如果不同,就會產生憂愁、悲傷、煩惱、痛苦。受、想、行、識也是這樣。看到慾望和貪婪有這樣的過患,所以要在色中調伏慾望和貪婪,在受、想、行、識中調伏慾望和貪婪。』 『他們還會問:『看到斷除慾望和貪婪,有什麼好處,所以導師說要在色中調伏慾望和貪婪,在受、想、行、識中調伏慾望和貪婪?』你們應當回答說:『如果對色斷除慾望、斷除貪婪、斷除執念、斷除愛戀、斷除渴求,那麼色如果變化、如果不同,就不會產生憂愁、悲傷、煩惱、痛苦。受、想、行、識也是這樣。』 『諸位尊者!如果接受不善法的因緣,現在能得到現世的安樂,不苦、不礙、不惱、不熱,身壞命終后能生到善處,世尊最終也不會說:『應當斷除不善法。』也不會教人在佛法中修習梵行,以求達到苦的盡頭。

English version Sariputra said, 'When you return to the West, to various foreign lands, among various different groups, they will surely ask you. Now that you have heard the good Dharma from the World Honored One, you should receive it well, uphold it well, observe it well, and understand it well, so that you can fully explain it to them, without defaming the Buddha, and without causing those people to have difficulty asking questions, making accusations, or falling into a disadvantageous position.' Those monks said to Sariputra, 'We have come to the Venerable One to hear the Dharma, we only wish that the Venerable One would explain it to us in detail, out of compassion!' The Venerable Sariputra told the monks, 'The people of Jambudvipa are intelligent and sharp-witted. Whether they are Kshatriyas, Brahmins, elders, or ascetics, they will surely ask you: 『How does your teacher teach the Dharma? What does he teach you?』 You should answer, 『The teacher only speaks of subduing desire and greed, and teaches us this.』 'They will also ask you, 『In what Dharma is desire and greed subdued?』 You should answer, 『The teacher only speaks of subduing desire and greed in the form aggregate, and subduing desire and greed in the feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness aggregates. This is how my teacher teaches.』 'They will also ask, 『What are the faults of desire and greed, that the teacher says to subdue desire and greed in form? And to subdue desire and greed in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness?』 You should answer, 『If one does not cease attachment, does not cease greed, does not cease love, does not cease clinging, does not cease craving for form, then if form changes or becomes different, then sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering will arise. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Seeing that desire and greed have such faults, one should subdue desire and greed in form, and subdue desire and greed in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.』 'They will also ask, 『Seeing the benefit of ceasing desire and greed, why does the teacher say to subdue desire and greed in form, and to subdue desire and greed in feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness?』 You should answer, 『If one ceases desire, ceases greed, ceases clinging, ceases love, and ceases craving for form, then if form changes or becomes different, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering will not arise. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.』 'Venerable ones! If by accepting the causes of unwholesome dharmas, one can now obtain present happiness, without suffering, without hindrance, without distress, without heat, and after the body breaks and life ends, one can be born in a good place, the World Honored One would never say, 『One should cease unwholesome dharmas.』 Nor would he teach people to cultivate pure conduct in the Buddha Dharma, in order to reach the end of suffering.'


。以受諸不善法因緣故,今現法苦住,障礙熱惱,身壞命終,墮惡道中。』是故世尊說言:『當斷不善法,于佛法中修諸梵行,平等盡苦,究竟苦邊。』

「若受諸善法因緣,現法苦住,障礙熱惱,身壞命終墮惡道中者,世尊終不說受持善法,于佛法中,修諸梵行,平等盡苦,究竟苦邊。受持善法,現法樂住,不苦、不礙、不惱、不熱,身壞命終,生於善處,是故世尊讚歎、教人受諸善法,于佛法中,修諸梵行,平等盡苦,究竟苦邊。」

尊者舍利弗說是法時,西方諸比丘不起諸漏,心得解脫。尊者舍利弗說是法時,諸比丘歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一〇九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如池水方五十由旬,深亦如是,其水盈滿。復有士夫,以毛、以草,或以指爪,以渧彼水。諸比丘!于意云何?彼士夫水渧為多,池水為多?」

比丘白佛:「彼士夫以毛、以草,或以指爪,所渧之水少,少不足言;池水甚多,百千萬倍,不可為比。」

「如是。諸比丘!見諦者所斷眾苦,如彼池水,于未來世,永不復生。」

爾時,世尊說是法已,入室坐禪。時,尊者舍利弗于眾中坐,世尊入室去後,告諸比丘:「未曾所聞!世尊今日善說池譬。所以者何?聖弟子具足見諦,得無間等果,若凡俗邪見、身見根本、身見集、身見生、身見起;謂憂戚隱覆,慶吉保惜,說我、說眾生、說奇特矜舉。如是眾邪,悉皆除滅,斷除根本,如折多羅樹,于未來世更不復生

現代漢語譯本:'因為接受了不善法的因緣,導致現在的生活充滿痛苦,受到障礙和煩惱的困擾,身體死亡后,會墮入惡道。'因此,世尊說:'應當斷除不善法,在佛法中修行清凈的行為,平等地消除痛苦,最終達到痛苦的盡頭。' 如果接受了善法的因緣,卻導致現在的生活充滿痛苦,受到障礙和煩惱的困擾,身體死亡后墮入惡道,那麼世尊絕不會說要接受和奉行善法,在佛法中修行清凈的行為,平等地消除痛苦,最終達到痛苦的盡頭。接受和奉行善法,會使現在的生活充滿快樂,沒有痛苦、障礙、煩惱和熱惱,身體死亡后,會往生到善處。因此,世尊讚歎並教導人們接受善法,在佛法中修行清凈的行為,平等地消除痛苦,最終達到痛苦的盡頭。' 當尊者舍利弗宣說此法時,西方的一些比丘不再產生煩惱,內心獲得解脫。當尊者舍利弗宣說此法時,眾比丘歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (一〇九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:'譬如有一個池塘,長寬各五十由旬,深度也一樣,池水滿滿的。又有一個人,用毛、草或者指甲,從池塘里滴水。諸位比丘,你們認為如何?這個人滴的水多,還是池塘里的水多?' 比丘們回答佛陀:'這個人用毛、草或者指甲滴的水很少,少到不值得一提;池塘里的水非常多,是它的百千萬倍,無法相比。' '是的,諸位比丘!見諦者所斷除的眾苦,就像那個池塘里的水一樣,在未來的世間,永遠不會再生起。' 那時,世尊說完此法后,進入禪房坐禪。當時,尊者舍利弗坐在大眾之中,世尊進入禪房后,他告訴眾比丘:'真是前所未聞!世尊今天善巧地說了池塘的比喻。這是為什麼呢?聖弟子具足見諦,獲得無間等果,如果凡俗之人有邪見、身見根本、身見集、身見生、身見起;也就是憂愁、隱瞞、慶幸、珍惜,說我、說眾生、說奇特、矜持。像這樣的邪見,全部都會被消除,斷除根本,就像折斷多羅樹一樣,在未來的世間不會再生起。'

English version: 'Because of the conditions of receiving unwholesome dharmas, one dwells in suffering in the present life, hindered by distress and torment, and after the body breaks and life ends, one falls into evil realms.' Therefore, the World-Honored One said: 'One should abandon unwholesome dharmas, cultivate pure conduct in the Buddha's teachings, equally end suffering, and ultimately reach the end of suffering.' If, by the conditions of receiving wholesome dharmas, one were to dwell in suffering in the present life, hindered by distress and torment, and after the body breaks and life ends, one were to fall into evil realms, then the World-Honored One would never say to receive and uphold wholesome dharmas, to cultivate pure conduct in the Buddha's teachings, to equally end suffering, and to ultimately reach the end of suffering. Receiving and upholding wholesome dharmas leads to dwelling in happiness in the present life, without suffering, hindrance, distress, or torment, and after the body breaks and life ends, one is born in good realms. Therefore, the World-Honored One praises and teaches people to receive wholesome dharmas, to cultivate pure conduct in the Buddha's teachings, to equally end suffering, and to ultimately reach the end of suffering.' When the Venerable Sariputra spoke this Dharma, some of the western monks did not generate any more defilements, and their minds were liberated. When the Venerable Sariputra spoke this Dharma, the monks rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed, and departed. (109) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'Suppose there is a pond, fifty yojanas in length and breadth, and the same in depth, filled with water. And suppose there is a person who, with hair, grass, or fingernails, drips water from that pond. Monks, what do you think? Is the water dripped by that person more, or is the water in the pond more?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'The water dripped by that person with hair, grass, or fingernails is very little, so little that it is not worth mentioning; the water in the pond is very much, a hundred thousand times more, incomparable.' 'So it is, monks! The suffering that is cut off by one who has seen the truth is like the water in that pond, and in future lives, it will never arise again.' At that time, after the World-Honored One had spoken this Dharma, he entered his chamber to sit in meditation. At that time, the Venerable Sariputra was sitting in the assembly. After the World-Honored One had entered his chamber, he told the monks: 'It is unprecedented! The World-Honored One today has skillfully spoken the simile of the pond. Why is that? A noble disciple who has fully seen the truth, obtains the fruit of non-interruption, if ordinary people have wrong views, the root of self-view, the arising of self-view, the birth of self-view, the arising of self-view; that is, worry, concealment, rejoicing, cherishing, speaking of 'I', speaking of 'beings', speaking of the extraordinary, and being conceited. Such wrong views are all eliminated, the root is cut off, like a broken palm tree, and in future lives, they will not arise again.'


「諸比丘!何等為見諦聖弟子斷上眾邪,于未來世永不復起?愚癡無聞凡夫見色是我、異我、我在色、色在我;見受、想、行、識,是我、異我、我在識、識在我。

現代漢語譯本: 『諸位比丘!什麼樣的見諦聖弟子能夠斷除所有錯誤的見解,在未來世永遠不再生起這些見解呢?愚癡無知的凡夫認為色是我,或者與我不同,或者我在色中,或者色在我中;認為受、想、行、識是我,或者與我不同,或者我在識中,或者識在我中。 『如何認為色是我呢?當他進入地一切入處正定時,觀察后,會這樣想:『地就是我,我就是地,我和地是唯一無二的,沒有差異和分別。』像這樣,對於水、火、風、青、黃、赤、白一切入處正定,觀察后,會這樣想:『行就是我,我就是行,唯一無二,沒有差異和分別。』像這樣,對於一切入處,一一執著為我,這叫做色即是我。如何認為色與我不同呢?如果他認為受是我,認為受是我之後,又認為色是我的所有物,或者認為想、行、識是我,認為色是我的所有物。 『如何認為我在色中呢?就是認為受是我,色在我之中;又認為想、行、識是我,色在我之中。如何認為色在我中呢?就是認為受是我,住在色中,遍佈身體的四肢;認為想、行、識是我,住在色中,遍佈身體的四肢,這叫做色在我中。 『如何認為受即是我呢?就是六種受身——眼觸所生的受,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸所生的受。這六種受身一一認為是我,我就是受,這叫做受即是我。如何認為受與我不同呢?就是認為色是我,受是我的所有物;認為想、行、識是我,受是我的所有物,這叫做受與我不同。 『如何認為我在受中呢?就是認為色是我,受在其中,想、行、識是我,受在其中。如何認為受在我中呢?就是認為色是我,住在受中,遍佈身體的四肢;想、行、識是我,住在受中,遍佈身體的四肢,這叫做受在我中。 『如何認為想即是我呢?就是六種想身——眼觸所生的想,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸所生的想。這六種想身一一認為是我,這叫做想即是我。如何認為想與我不同呢?就是認為色是我,想是我的所有物,識是我,想是我的所有物,這叫做想與我不同。

English version: 'Monks, what kind of noble disciple who has attained right view has abandoned all these wrong views, and will never arise again in the future? An ignorant, unlearned ordinary person sees form as 'I', or 'different from I', or 'I in form', or 'form in I'; sees feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness as 'I', or 'different from I', or 'I in consciousness', or 'consciousness in I'. 'How does one see form as 'I'? When one enters the attainment of the earth kasina, having observed it, one thinks: 'Earth is me, I am earth, I and earth are one and the same, not different or separate.' Likewise, for the water, fire, wind, blue, yellow, red, and white kasinas, having observed them, one thinks: 'Mental formations are me, I am mental formations, one and the same, not different or separate.' In this way, for each kasina, one clings to 'I', this is called form as 'I'. How does one see form as different from 'I'? If one sees feeling as 'I', having seen feeling as 'I', then one sees form as 'mine', or sees perception, mental formations, and consciousness as 'I', and sees form as 'mine'. 'How does one see 'I in form'? It is when one sees feeling as 'I', and form is in me; also sees perception, mental formations, and consciousness as 'I', and form is in me. How does one see 'form in I'? It is when one sees feeling as 'I', residing in form, pervading the four limbs; sees perception, mental formations, and consciousness as 'I', residing in form, pervading the four limbs, this is called 'form in I'. 'How does one see feeling as 'I'? It is the six aggregates of feeling—feeling born of eye contact, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind contact.

現代漢語譯本 『如何看待我存在於想之中?』意思是說,認為『色』是我,『想』存在於我之中;認為『受』、『行』、『識』是我,『想』存在於我之中。『如何看待我存在於想之中?』意思是說,認為『色』是我,存在於『想』之中,遍佈我的四肢,這叫做『想』中的我。 『如何看待『行』是我?』意思是說,六種思緒的集合——眼睛接觸產生思緒,耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體和意識接觸產生思緒。在這六種思緒的集合中,每一種都認為是『我』,這叫做『行』就是我。『如何看待『行』異於我?』意思是說,認為『色』是我,『行』是我的所有物。認為『受』、『想』、『識』是我,『行』是我的所有物,這叫做『行』異於我。 『如何看待我存在於『行』之中?』意思是說,認為『色』是我,『行』存在於我之中。認為『受』、『想』、『行』、『識』是我,『行』存在於我之中,這叫做我存在於『行』之中。『如何看待『行』存在於我之中?』意思是說,認為『色』是我,存在於『行』之中,遍佈我的四肢;認為『受』、『想』、『識』是我,存在於『行』之中,遍佈我的四肢,這叫做『行』中的我。 『如何看待『識』就是我?』意思是說,六種意識的集合——眼識、耳識、鼻識、舌識、身識和意識。在這六種意識的集合中,每一種都認為是『我』,這叫做『識』就是我。『如何看待『識』異於我?』意思是說,認為『色』是我,『識』是我的所有物;認為『受』、『想』、『行』是我,『識』是我的所有物,這叫做『識』異於我。 『如何看待我存在於『識』之中?』意思是說,認為『色』是我,『識』存在於我之中。認為『受』、『想』、『行』是我,『識』存在於我之中,這叫做我存在於『識』之中。『如何看待『識』存在於我之中?』意思是說,認為『色』是我,存在於『識』之中,遍佈我的四肢;認為『受』、『想』、『行』是我,存在於『識』之中,遍佈我的四肢,這叫做『識』中的我。 如此,聖弟子領悟四聖諦,獲得無間等果,斷除各種邪見,在未來世永遠不再產生。所有各種『色』,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細微,無論是美好還是醜陋,無論是遙遠還是臨近,都應視為聚集在一起的,並這樣觀察:『一切都是無常的,一切都是苦的,一切都是空的,一切都不是我,不應該愛戀、接受和保持。』『受』、『想』、『行』、『識』也是如此,不應該愛戀、接受和保持。』這樣觀察,善於繫心安住,不被法所迷惑。

English version 『How do you view the 『I』 within 『perception』?』 It means considering 『form』 as 『I』, with 『perception』 residing within 『I』; considering 『feeling』, 『volition』, and 『consciousness』 as 『I』, with 『perception』 residing within 『I』. 『How do you view the 『I』 within 『perception』?』 It means considering 『form』 as 『I』, residing within 『perception』, pervading my four limbs, this is called the 『I』 within 『perception』. 『How do you view 『volition』 as 『I』?』 It means the collection of six thoughts—thoughts arising from eye contact, and thoughts arising from contact with ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. In each of these six collections of thoughts, each is seen as 『I』, this is called 『volition』 is 『I』. 『How do you view 『volition』 as different from 『I』?』 It means considering 『form』 as 『I』, and 『volition』 as my possession. Considering 『feeling』, 『perception』, and 『consciousness』 as 『I』, and 『volition』 as my possession, this is called 『volition』 different from 『I』. 『How do you view 『I』 within 『volition』?』 It means considering 『form』 as 『I』, with 『volition』 residing within 『I』. Considering 『feeling』, 『perception』, 『volition』, and 『consciousness』 as 『I』, with 『volition』 residing within 『I』, this is called 『I』 within 『volition』. 『How do you view 『volition』 within 『I』?』 It means considering 『form』 as 『I』, residing within 『volition』, pervading my four limbs; considering 『feeling』, 『perception』, and 『consciousness』 as 『I』, residing within 『volition』, pervading my four limbs, this is called 『volition』 within 『I』. 『How do you view 『consciousness』 as 『I』?』 It means the collection of six consciousnesses—eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, and mind consciousness. In each of these six collections of consciousness, each is seen as 『I』, this is called 『consciousness』 is 『I』. 『How do you view 『consciousness』 as different from 『I』?』 It means considering 『form』 as 『I』, and 『consciousness』 as my possession; considering 『feeling』, 『perception』, and 『volition』 as 『I』, and 『consciousness』 as my possession, this is called 『consciousness』 different from 『I』. 『How do you view 『I』 within 『consciousness』?』 It means considering 『form』 as 『I』, with 『consciousness』 residing within 『I』. Considering 『feeling』, 『perception』, and 『volition』 as 『I』, with 『consciousness』 residing within 『I』, this is called 『I』 within 『consciousness』. 『How do you view 『consciousness』 within 『I』?』 It means considering 『form』 as 『I』, residing within 『consciousness』, pervading my four limbs; considering 『feeling』, 『perception』, and 『volition』 as 『I』, residing within 『consciousness』, pervading my four limbs, this is called 『consciousness』 within 『I』. Thus, a noble disciple understands the Four Noble Truths, attains the fruit of non-interruption, cuts off all wrong views, and will never arise again in future lives. All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether far or near, should be seen as gathered together, and observed thus: 『All is impermanent, all is suffering, all is empty, all is not-self, one should not love, accept, or hold onto it.』 『Feeling』, 『perception』, 『volition』, and 『consciousness』 are also like this, one should not love, accept, or hold onto them.』 Observing in this way, one is skilled in keeping the mind at peace, and is not deluded by the Dharma.


。復觀精進,離諸懈怠,心得喜樂,身心猗息,寂靜舍住,具諸道品,修行滿足,永離諸惡,非不消煬,非不寂滅。滅而不起,減而不增,斷而不生,不取不著,自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

舍利弗說是法時,六十比丘不受諸漏,心得解脫。佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離獼猴池側。毗舍離國有尼揵子,聰慧明哲,善解諸論,有聰明慢。所廣集諸論,妙智入微,為眾說法,超諸論師,每作是念:「諸沙門、婆羅門無敵我者,乃至如來亦能共論。諸論師輩,聞我名者,頭額津腋下汗,毛孔流水;我論議風,能偃草折樹,摧破金石,伏諸龍象,何況人間諸論師輩,能當我者!」

時,有比丘名阿濕波誓,晨朝著衣持缽,威儀詳序,端視平涉,入城乞食。爾時,薩遮尼揵子,有少緣事,詣諸聚落,從城門出,遙見比丘阿濕波誓,即詣其所,問言:「沙門瞿曇為諸弟子云何說法?以何等法教諸弟子,令其修習?」

阿濕波誓言:「火種居士!世尊如是說法教諸弟子,令隨修學。言:『諸比丘!於色當觀無我,受、想、行、識當觀無我。此五受陰勤方便觀,如病、如癰、如刺、如殺,無常、苦、空、非我。』」

薩遮尼揵子聞此語,心不喜,作是言:「阿濕波誓!汝必誤聽,沙門瞿曇終不作是說。若沙門瞿曇作是說者,則是邪見,我當詣彼難詰令止

現代漢語譯本:再次觀察精進,遠離各種懈怠,內心感到喜悅,身心輕安寧靜,安住于寂靜的舍離,具備各種修道的品德,修行圓滿,永遠脫離各種惡行,不是不消散,不是不寂滅。滅盡而不再生起,減少而不增加,斷絕而不產生,不執取不貪著,自覺證得涅槃:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有後世的生命。』 舍利弗說此法時,六十位比丘不再受煩惱的束縛,內心得到解脫。佛說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一一〇) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在毗舍離獼猴池邊。毗舍離國有一個尼犍子,聰明睿智,善於理解各種論點,有聰明的傲慢。他廣泛收集各種論點,智慧精妙入微,為眾人說法,超越所有論師,常常這樣想:『所有沙門、婆羅門都沒有能與我匹敵的,甚至如來也能與我辯論。那些論師們,聽到我的名字,都會嚇得頭額、腋下出汗,毛孔流水;我的辯論之風,能使草木倒伏,摧毀金石,降伏龍象,更何況人間那些論師,誰能抵擋我!』 當時,有一位比丘名叫阿濕波誓,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,威儀詳和,目光端正,進入城中乞食。那時,薩遮尼犍子,因為一些事情,前往各個村落,從城門出來,遠遠看見比丘阿濕波誓,就走到他面前,問道:『沙門瞿曇是怎樣為他的弟子說法的?用什麼法教導他的弟子,讓他們修行?』 阿濕波誓說:『火種居士!世尊是這樣說法教導他的弟子,讓他們隨之修學。他說:『各位比丘!對於色法應當觀察為無我,受、想、行、識應當觀察為無我。這五種受陰要勤奮方便地觀察,如同疾病、如同毒瘡、如同尖刺、如同殺害,是無常的、苦的、空的、非我的。』 薩遮尼犍子聽到這話,心中不高興,這樣說:『阿濕波誓!你一定是聽錯了,沙門瞿曇絕對不會這樣說。如果沙門瞿曇這樣說,那就是邪見,我應當去那裡辯論詰問,讓他停止。』

English version: Again, observing diligence, abandoning all laziness, the mind experiences joy, the body and mind are tranquil, dwelling in peaceful detachment, possessing all the qualities of the path, fulfilling the practice, forever abandoning all evils, not without ceasing, not without extinguishing. Extinguished without arising, diminished without increasing, cut off without being born, not grasping, not clinging, realizing Nirvana for oneself: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, I know for myself that there is no further existence.』 When Shariputra spoke this Dharma, sixty monks were freed from all defilements, and their minds were liberated. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (110) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying near the Monkey Pond in Vaishali. In the country of Vaishali, there was a Niganta, intelligent and wise, skilled in understanding various arguments, with an arrogant intelligence. He widely collected various arguments, his wisdom was subtle and profound, he preached to the masses, surpassing all debaters, and often thought: 『All the Shramanas and Brahmins are no match for me, even the Tathagata can debate with me. Those debaters, upon hearing my name, will sweat from their foreheads and armpits, and their pores will flow with water; the wind of my arguments can cause grass and trees to fall, destroy gold and stone, subdue dragons and elephants, how much more so the debaters among humans, who can withstand me!』 At that time, there was a monk named Ashvajit, who, in the morning, put on his robes, held his bowl, with dignified demeanor, looking straight ahead, entered the city to beg for food. At that time, Saccaka Niganta, having some business, went to various villages, and coming out of the city gate, saw the monk Ashvajit from afar, and went to him, asking: 『How does the Shramana Gautama preach to his disciples? With what Dharma does he teach his disciples, causing them to practice?』 Ashvajit said: 『Householder of the fire kind! The World Honored One teaches his disciples in this way, causing them to follow and learn. He says: 『Monks! Regarding form, you should observe it as not-self, regarding feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness, you should observe them as not-self. These five aggregates of clinging should be diligently and skillfully observed, like a disease, like a boil, like a thorn, like a killing, impermanent, suffering, empty, not-self.』 Saccaka Niganta, upon hearing these words, was not pleased, and said: 『Ashvajit! You must have misheard, the Shramana Gautama would never say such a thing. If the Shramana Gautama said such a thing, then it is a wrong view, I should go there to debate and question him, causing him to stop.』


。」

爾時,薩遮尼犍子往詣聚落,諸離車等集會之處,語諸離車言:「我今日見沙門瞿曇第一弟子,名阿濕波誓,薄共論議,若如其所說者,我當詣彼沙門瞿曇,與共論議,進卻迴轉,必隨我意。

「譬如士夫刈拔茇草,手執其莖,空中抖擻,除諸亂穢;我亦如是,與沙門瞿曇論議難詰,執其要領,進卻迴轉,隨其所欲,去其邪說。

「如沽酒家執其酒囊,壓取清醇,去其糟滓;我亦如是,詣沙門瞿曇論議難詰,進卻迴轉,取其清真,去諸邪說。

「如織蓆師,以席盛諸穢物,欲市賣時,以水洗澤,去諸臭穢;我亦如是,詣沙門瞿曇所,與共論議,進卻迴轉,執其綱領,去諸穢說。

「譬如王家調象之師,牽大醉象,入深水中,洗其身體、四支、耳、鼻,周遍沐浴,去諸粗穢;我亦如是,詣沙門瞿曇所,論議難詰,進卻迴轉,隨意自在,執其要領,去諸穢說。汝諸離車,亦應共往觀其得失。」

中有離車作如是言:「若薩遮尼犍子能與沙門瞿曇共論議者,無有是處。」

復有說言:「薩遮尼犍子聰慧利根,能共論議。」

時有五百離車與薩遮尼犍子共詣佛所,為論議故。

爾時,世尊于大林中,坐一樹下,住于天住。時,有眾多比丘出房外林中經行,遙見薩遮尼犍子來,漸漸詣諸比丘所,問諸比丘言:「沙門瞿曇住在何所?」

比丘答言:「在大林中,依一樹下,住于天住。」

薩遮尼犍子即詣佛所,恭敬問訊,於一面坐。諸離車長者亦詣佛所,有恭敬者,有合掌問訊者,問訊已,於一面住

當時,薩遮尼犍子前往村落,到了離車族人聚集的地方,對離車人說:『我今天見到了沙門喬達摩的第一弟子,名叫阿濕波誓,稍微和他辯論了一下。如果他所說的真是那樣,我就去見沙門喬達摩,和他辯論,讓他進退回旋,必定會按照我的意思。』 『就像一個人割除茅草,手拿著草莖,在空中抖動,除去雜亂的污穢一樣;我也要這樣,和沙門喬達摩辯論詰難,抓住他的要領,讓他進退回旋,隨我的意願,去除他的邪說。』 『就像賣酒的人拿著酒囊,擠壓出清醇的酒,去除酒糟一樣;我也要這樣,去見沙門喬達摩辯論詰難,讓他進退回旋,取得他的精華,去除他的邪說。』 『就像織蓆的人,用蓆子盛放污穢之物,想要出售時,用水洗滌,去除臭穢一樣;我也要這樣,去見沙門喬達摩,和他辯論,讓他進退回旋,抓住他的綱領,去除他的污穢之說。』 『就像王家的馴象師,牽著喝醉的大象,進入深水中,清洗它的身體、四肢、耳朵、鼻子,週身沐浴,去除粗糙的污穢一樣;我也要這樣,去見沙門喬達摩,辯論詰難,讓他進退回旋,隨意自在,抓住他的要領,去除他的污穢之說。你們這些離車人,也應該一起去觀看他的得失。』 其中有離車人這樣說:『如果薩遮尼犍子能和沙門喬達摩辯論,那是不可能的。』 又有說:『薩遮尼犍子聰明敏銳,能夠和他辯論。』 當時有五百離車人與薩遮尼犍子一同前往佛陀所在之處,爲了辯論的緣故。 當時,世尊在大林中,坐在一棵樹下,處於天住的狀態。當時,有許多比丘走出房舍,在林中經行,遠遠看見薩遮尼犍子來了,漸漸走到比丘們所在的地方,問比丘們說:『沙門喬達摩住在哪裡?』 比丘們回答說:『在大林中,依著一棵樹下,處於天住的狀態。』 薩遮尼犍子就前往佛陀所在之處,恭敬地問候,在一旁坐下。那些離車長者也來到佛陀所在之處,有的恭敬問候,有的合掌問候,問候完畢,在一旁站立。

At that time, Saccaka Niganthaputta went to the village, to the place where the Licchavis gathered, and said to the Licchavis: 'Today I saw the first disciple of the ascetic Gotama, named Assaji, and had a brief discussion with him. If what he said is true, I will go to the ascetic Gotama and debate with him, making him advance and retreat, and he will surely follow my will.' 'Just as a man cuts and pulls up grass, holding the stem in his hand, shaking it in the air to remove the tangled filth; so too will I, debating and challenging the ascetic Gotama, grasp his essentials, making him advance and retreat, according to my wishes, and remove his false teachings.' 'Just as a wine seller holds his wineskin, pressing out the pure wine and removing the dregs; so too will I, going to the ascetic Gotama to debate and challenge him, making him advance and retreat, taking his essence and removing his false teachings.' 'Just as a mat weaver uses a mat to hold dirty things, and when he wants to sell it, he washes it with water to remove the foul odor; so too will I, going to the ascetic Gotama, debate with him, making him advance and retreat, grasping his principles, and removing his filthy teachings.' 'Just as a royal elephant trainer leads a drunken elephant into deep water, washing its body, limbs, ears, and trunk, bathing it all over to remove the coarse filth; so too will I, going to the ascetic Gotama, debate and challenge him, making him advance and retreat, freely and at will, grasping his essentials, and removing his filthy teachings. You Licchavis should also go together to observe his gains and losses.' Among the Licchavis, some said: 'If Saccaka Niganthaputta can debate with the ascetic Gotama, that is impossible.' Others said: 'Saccaka Niganthaputta is intelligent and sharp, and he can debate with him.' At that time, five hundred Licchavis went with Saccaka Niganthaputta to where the Buddha was, for the sake of debate. At that time, the World-Honored One was in the Great Forest, sitting under a tree, abiding in the heavenly abode. At that time, many monks came out of their dwellings and were walking in the forest. They saw Saccaka Niganthaputta coming from afar, and gradually he approached the monks and asked them: 'Where is the ascetic Gotama staying?' The monks replied: 'He is in the Great Forest, under a tree, abiding in the heavenly abode.' Saccaka Niganthaputta then went to where the Buddha was, respectfully greeted him, and sat down to one side. The Licchavi elders also came to where the Buddha was, some respectfully greeting him, some greeting him with palms joined. After greeting him, they stood to one side.


時,薩遮尼犍子白佛言:「我聞瞿曇作如是說法,作如是教授諸弟子——教諸弟子於色觀察無我,受、想、行、識觀察無我,此五受陰勤方便觀察,如病、如癰、如刺、如殺,無常、苦、空、非我。——為是瞿曇有如是教,為是傳者毀瞿曇耶?如說說耶?不如說說耶?如法說耶?法次法說耶?無有異忍來相難詰,令墮負處耶?」

佛告薩遮尼犍子:「如汝所聞,彼如說說、如法說、法次法說,非為謗毀,亦無難問令墮負處。所以者何?我實為諸弟子如是說法,我實常教諸弟子,令隨順法教,令觀色無我。受、想、行、識無我,觀此五受陰如病,如癰、如刺、如殺,無常、苦、空、非我。」

薩遮尼犍子白佛言:「瞿曇!我今當說譬。」

佛告薩遮尼犍子:「宜知是時。」

「譬如世間一切所作皆依于地。如是色是我人,善惡從生;受、想、行、識是我人,善惡從生。又復譬如人界、神界、藥草、樹木,皆依于地而得生長;如是色是我人,受、想、行、識是我人。」

佛告火種居士:「汝言色是我人,受、想、行、識是我人耶?」

答言:「如是,瞿曇!色是我人,受、想、行、識是我人。此等諸眾悉作是說。」

佛告火種居士:「且立汝論本,用引眾人為?」

薩遮尼犍子白佛言:「色實是我人。」

佛告火種居士:「我今問汝,隨意答我。譬如國王,于自國土有罪過者,若殺、若縛、若擯、若鞭、斷絕手足;若有功者,賜其象馬、車乘、城邑、財寶,悉能爾不?」

答言:「能爾

現代漢語譯本: 當時,薩遮尼犍子對佛說:『我聽說瞿曇這樣說法,這樣教導他的弟子——教導弟子觀察色是無我的,受、想、行、識也是無我的,這五種受陰要勤加方便觀察,如同疾病、毒瘡、芒刺、殺害一樣,是無常的、苦的、空的、非我的。——瞿曇真的是這樣教導的嗎?還是傳話的人誹謗了瞿曇?是如實說的嗎?還是不如實說的?是如法說的嗎?還是不符合佛法的?有沒有其他持不同見解的人來辯論詰難,使你陷入失敗的境地呢?』 佛告訴薩遮尼犍子:『正如你所聽到的,那些說法是如實說的、如法說的、符合佛法的,不是誹謗,也沒有辯論詰難使我陷入失敗的境地。為什麼呢?我確實是這樣教導我的弟子的,我確實常常教導弟子,讓他們遵循佛法教誨,觀察色是無我的,受、想、行、識也是無我的,觀察這五種受陰如同疾病、毒瘡、芒刺、殺害一樣,是無常的、苦的、空的、非我的。』 薩遮尼犍子對佛說:『瞿曇!我現在要打個比方。』 佛告訴薩遮尼犍子:『現在是時候了。』 『譬如世間一切所作都依賴於土地。同樣,色是我的自我,善惡由此產生;受、想、行、識是我的自我,善惡由此產生。又譬如人間、神界、藥草、樹木,都依賴於土地而生長;同樣,色是我的自我,受、想、行、識是我的自我。』 佛告訴火種居士:『你說色是我的自我,受、想、行、識是我的自我嗎?』 回答說:『是的,瞿曇!色是我的自我,受、想、行、識是我的自我。這裡的所有人都這樣說。』 佛告訴火種居士:『先確立你的論點,為什麼要引用眾人呢?』 薩遮尼犍子對佛說:『色確實是我的自我。』 佛告訴火種居士:『我現在問你,請隨意回答我。譬如國王,對於自己國土中有罪過的人,可以殺、可以綁、可以驅逐、可以鞭打、可以砍斷手腳;對於有功勞的人,可以賞賜象、馬、車乘、城邑、財寶,都能做到嗎?』 回答說:『能做到。』

English version: At that time, Saccaka Niganthaputta said to the Buddha: 'I have heard that Gotama teaches in this way, instructing his disciples—teaching them to observe that form is not-self, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are not-self. These five aggregates of clinging should be diligently observed as if they were a disease, a boil, a thorn, a killing, impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self. —Is this what Gotama actually teaches, or are those who transmit his teachings slandering him? Is it as he says, or not as he says? Is it in accordance with the Dharma, or not in accordance with the Dharma? Is there anyone with a different view who can come and challenge you, causing you to be defeated?' The Buddha said to Saccaka Niganthaputta: 'As you have heard, those teachings are as I say, in accordance with the Dharma, and not slanderous. Nor can any challenge cause me to be defeated. Why is that? I do indeed teach my disciples in this way. I constantly teach them to follow the Dharma, to observe that form is not-self, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are not-self. To observe these five aggregates of clinging as if they were a disease, a boil, a thorn, a killing, impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self.' Saccaka Niganthaputta said to the Buddha: 'Gotama! I will now give an analogy.' The Buddha said to Saccaka Niganthaputta: 'It is the right time.' 'It is like how everything in the world depends on the earth. Similarly, form is my self, from which good and evil arise; feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are my self, from which good and evil arise. Furthermore, it is like how humans, gods, herbs, and trees all grow depending on the earth; similarly, form is my self, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are my self.' The Buddha said to the householder of the fire clan: 'Do you say that form is your self, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are your self?' He replied: 'Yes, Gotama! Form is my self, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are my self. All these people say the same thing.' The Buddha said to the householder of the fire clan: 'First establish your own argument, why do you cite the crowd?' Saccaka Niganthaputta said to the Buddha: 'Form is indeed my self.' The Buddha said to the householder of the fire clan: 'I will now ask you, please answer me as you wish. For example, a king, in his own kingdom, can punish those who commit crimes by killing, binding, banishing, whipping, or cutting off their hands and feet. And those who have done meritorious deeds, he can reward with elephants, horses, carriages, cities, and treasures. Is he able to do all of this?' He replied: 'He is able to do so.'


。瞿曇!」

佛告火種居士:「凡是主者,悉得自在不?」

答言:「如是,瞿曇!」

佛告火種居士:「汝言色是我,受、想、行、識即是我,得隨意自在,令彼如是,不令如是耶?」

時,薩遮尼犍子默然而住。

佛告火種居士:「速說!速說!何故默然?」

如是再三,薩遮尼犍子猶故默然。

時,有金剛力鬼神持金剛杵,猛火熾然,在虛空中臨薩遮尼犍子頭上,作是言:「世尊再三問,汝何故不答?我當以金剛杵碎破汝頭,令作七分。」

佛神力故,唯令薩遮尼犍子見金剛神,餘眾不見。薩遮尼犍子得大恐怖,白佛言:「不爾。瞿曇!」

佛告薩遮尼犍子:「徐徐思惟,然後解說。汝先於眾中說色是我,受、想、行、識是我,而今言不?前後相違。汝先常說言:『色是我,受、想、行、識是我。』火種居士!我今問汝,色為常耶?為無常耶?」

答言:「無常。瞿曇!」

復問:「無常者,是苦耶?」

答言:「是苦。瞿曇!」

復問:「無常、苦者,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于中見我、異我、相在不?」

答曰:「不也,瞿曇!」

受、想、行、識亦如是說。

佛告火種居士:「汝好思而後說。」

復問火種居士:「若於色未離貪、未離欲、未離念、未離愛、未離渴,彼色若變、若異,當生憂、悲、惱、苦不?」

答曰:「如是,瞿曇!」

受、想、行、識亦如是說

現代漢語譯本:『瞿曇!』 佛陀告訴火種居士:『凡是主宰者,都能完全自在嗎?』 回答說:『是的,瞿曇!』 佛陀告訴火種居士:『你說色是我,受、想、行、識也是我,能隨意自在,讓它們這樣,不讓它們那樣嗎?』 這時,薩遮尼犍子沉默不語。 佛陀告訴火種居士:『快說!快說!為什麼沉默?』 這樣再三追問,薩遮尼犍子仍然沉默不語。 這時,有一位金剛力鬼神手持金剛杵,猛火燃燒,在虛空中來到薩遮尼犍子的頭上,說道:『世尊再三問你,你為什麼不回答?我將用金剛杵擊碎你的頭,讓它裂成七份。』 因為佛陀的神力,只有薩遮尼犍子看見了金剛神,其他人都沒有看見。薩遮尼犍子感到非常恐懼,對佛陀說:『不是這樣的,瞿曇!』 佛陀告訴薩遮尼犍子:『慢慢思考,然後再說。你先前在眾人面前說色是我,受、想、行、識是我,現在卻說不是?前後矛盾。你先前常說:『色是我,受、想、行、識是我。』火種居士!我現在問你,色是常住的嗎?還是無常的?』 回答說:『是無常的,瞿曇!』 又問:『無常的東西,是苦嗎?』 回答說:『是苦,瞿曇!』 又問:『無常、苦的東西,是變易的法,多聞的聖弟子會在其中看到我、異於我、或與我相關聯嗎?』 回答說:『不會,瞿曇!』 受、想、行、識也像這樣說。 佛陀告訴火種居士:『你好好思考後再說。』 又問火種居士:『如果對色還沒有離貪、沒有離欲、沒有離念、沒有離愛、沒有離渴,那麼當色變化、變異時,會產生憂、悲、惱、苦嗎?』 回答說:『是的,瞿曇!』 受、想、行、識也像這樣說。

English version: 『Gotama!』 The Buddha said to the Fire-kindled ascetic, 『Are all masters completely free?』 He replied, 『Yes, Gotama!』 The Buddha said to the Fire-kindled ascetic, 『You say that form is me, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are me. Can you make them be as you wish, or not as you wish?』 At that time, Saccaka the Nigantha remained silent. The Buddha said to the Fire-kindled ascetic, 『Speak quickly! Speak quickly! Why are you silent?』 Even after being asked three times, Saccaka the Nigantha remained silent. Then, a Vajra-wielding spirit, holding a vajra club, with fierce flames, appeared in the sky above Saccaka the Nigantha』s head, saying, 『The Blessed One has asked you three times, why do you not answer? I will shatter your head into seven pieces with this vajra club.』 Due to the Buddha』s power, only Saccaka the Nigantha saw the Vajra spirit, the others did not. Saccaka the Nigantha became very frightened and said to the Buddha, 『It is not so, Gotama!』 The Buddha said to Saccaka the Nigantha, 『Think carefully, then speak. You previously said in the assembly that form is me, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are me, but now you say it is not? This is contradictory. You previously always said: 『Form is me, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are me.』 Fire-kindled ascetic! I now ask you, is form permanent or impermanent?』 He replied, 『Impermanent, Gotama!』 He was asked again, 『Is that which is impermanent, suffering?』 He replied, 『It is suffering, Gotama!』 He was asked again, 『Is that which is impermanent and suffering, subject to change, would a well-learned noble disciple see in it 『I』, 『different from I』, or 『related to I』?』 He replied, 『No, Gotama!』 The same was said about feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. The Buddha said to the Fire-kindled ascetic, 『Think well before you speak.』 He asked the Fire-kindled ascetic again, 『If one has not abandoned greed, desire, attachment, love, and thirst for form, when that form changes or alters, will one experience sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering?』 He replied, 『Yes, Gotama!』 The same was said about feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.


復問:「火種居士!於色離貪、離欲、離念、離愛、離渴,彼色若變、若異,則不生憂、悲、惱、苦耶?」

答曰:「如是。瞿曇!如實無異。」

受、想、行、識亦如是說。

「火種居士!譬如士夫身嬰眾苦,常與苦俱,彼苦不斷不捨,當得樂不?」

答言:「不也,瞿曇!」

「如是,火種居士!身嬰眾苦,常與苦俱,彼苦不斷、不捨,不得樂也。火種居士!譬如士夫持斧入山,求堅實材。見芭蕉樹洪大𦟛直,即斷其根葉,剽剝其皮,乃至窮盡,都無堅實。火種居士!汝亦如是,自立論端。我今善求真實之義,都無堅實,如芭蕉樹也,而於此眾中敢有所說。我不見沙門、婆羅門中,所知、所見能與如來、應、等正覺所知、所見共論議,不摧伏者。而便自說:『我論議風,偃草折樹,能破金石,調伏龍象,要能令彼額津腋汗,毛孔水流。』汝今自論己義而不自立,先所誇說能伏彼相,今儘自取,而不能動如來一毛。」

爾時,世尊于大眾中,被郁多羅僧,現胸而示:「汝等試看,能動如來一毛以不?」

爾時,薩遮尼犍子默然低頭,慚愧失色。爾時,眾中有一離車,名突目佉,從座起,整衣服,合掌白佛言:「世尊!聽我說譬。」

佛告突目佉:「宜知是時。」

突目佉白佛言:「世尊!譬如有人執持斗斛,于大聚谷中,取二三斛,今此薩遮尼犍子亦復如是。世尊!譬如長者巨富多財,忽有罪過,一切財物悉入王家,薩遮尼犍子亦復如是。所有才辯悉為如來之所攝受

現代漢語譯本: 又問:『火種居士!對於色,如果能離貪、離欲、離念、離愛、離渴,那麼當這個色發生變化或不同時,就不會產生憂愁、悲傷、煩惱和痛苦了嗎?』 回答說:『是的,瞿曇!確實如此,沒有不同。』 受、想、行、識也像這樣說。 『火種居士!譬如一個人身受各種痛苦,常常與痛苦相伴,如果這些痛苦不斷絕、不捨棄,他能得到快樂嗎?』 回答說:『不能,瞿曇!』 『是的,火種居士!如果一個人身受各種痛苦,常常與痛苦相伴,這些痛苦不斷絕、不捨棄,他就不能得到快樂。火種居士!譬如一個人拿著斧頭進山,尋找堅實的木材。他看到一棵芭蕉樹,高大筆直,就砍斷它的根和葉,剝開它的皮,直到完全剝盡,都沒有找到堅實的部分。火種居士!你也像這樣,自己設立論點。我今天認真尋求真實的意義,卻發現你的論點毫無堅實之處,就像芭蕉樹一樣,而你卻敢在這種眾人面前發表言論。我沒有見過任何沙門、婆羅門,他們的所知所見能夠與如來、應供、等正覺的所知所見相提並論,而不被駁倒的。而你卻自誇說:『我的論辯之風,能使草木傾倒,能使金石破碎,能調伏龍象,能使他們額頭出汗,腋下流汗,毛孔滲水。』你現在自己論述自己的觀點卻不能自圓其說,先前誇口能降伏對方,現在卻完全被自己所困,連如來的一根毫毛都不能動搖。』 這時,世尊在大眾中,掀起上衣,露出胸膛,展示給大家看:『你們試試看,能不能動搖如來的一根毫毛?』 這時,薩遮尼犍子沉默不語,低下了頭,慚愧得臉色都變了。這時,人群中有一位離車人,名叫突目佉,從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,合掌對佛說:『世尊!請允許我說個比喻。』 佛告訴突目佉:『現在是時候了,你可以說。』 突目佉對佛說:『世尊!譬如有人拿著斗和斛,在大堆穀物中,取走兩三斛,現在的薩遮尼犍子也像這樣。世尊!譬如一位長者,非常富有,但突然犯了罪,所有的財產都被沒收充公,薩遮尼犍子也像這樣。他所有的才辯都被如來所攝受了。』

English version: Again he asked: 'Fire-kindled ascetic! Regarding form, if one is free from greed, free from desire, free from thought, free from love, free from thirst, then if that form changes or becomes different, will one not experience sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering?' He replied: 'Yes, Gautama! It is indeed so, without any difference.' The same is said of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. 'Fire-kindled ascetic! Suppose a man is afflicted with various sufferings, constantly accompanied by suffering, and if these sufferings are not cut off or abandoned, will he attain happiness?' He replied: 'No, Gautama!' 'Indeed, Fire-kindled ascetic! If a man is afflicted with various sufferings, constantly accompanied by suffering, and these sufferings are not cut off or abandoned, he will not attain happiness. Fire-kindled ascetic! Suppose a man takes an axe into the mountains, seeking solid timber. He sees a banana tree, tall and straight, and cuts off its roots and leaves, peels off its bark, until he has completely stripped it, and finds nothing solid. Fire-kindled ascetic! You are like that, establishing your own arguments. Today I earnestly seek the true meaning, and find your arguments have no solidity, like a banana tree, yet you dare to speak in this assembly. I have not seen any ascetic or Brahmin whose knowledge and vision can compare with the knowledge and vision of the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One, without being refuted. Yet you boast: 「My arguments are like a wind that can fell grass and trees, break gold and stone, tame dragons and elephants, and make them sweat from their foreheads, armpits, and pores.」 Now you argue your own points but cannot stand by them, having previously boasted of being able to subdue others, but now you are completely trapped by your own words, unable to move even a single hair of the Tathagata.' At that time, the Blessed One, in the midst of the assembly, lifted his upper robe, revealing his chest, and showed it to everyone: 'Try to see if you can move even a single hair of the Tathagata?' At that time, Saccaka Nigantha remained silent, lowered his head, and was ashamed and pale. Then, a Licchavi named Tumukha, rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'Blessed One! May I speak a parable?' The Buddha told Tumukha: 'Now is the time, you may speak.' Tumukha said to the Buddha: 'Blessed One! Suppose a man takes a measure and a bushel, and from a large pile of grain, takes two or three bushels, the present Saccaka Nigantha is like that. Blessed One! Suppose a wealthy elder, very rich, suddenly commits a crime, and all his property is confiscated by the king, Saccaka Nigantha is also like that. All his eloquence has been taken over by the Tathagata.'


「譬如城邑聚落邊有大水,男女大小悉入水戲,取水中蟹,截斷其足,置於陸地,以無足故,不能還復入于大水。薩遮尼犍子亦復如是。諸有才辯悉為如來之所斷截,終不復敢重詣如來命敵論議。」

爾時,薩遮尼犍子忿怒熾盛,罵唾突目佉離車言:「汝粗疏物!不審諦何為其鳴?吾自與沙門瞿曇論,何豫汝事?」

薩遮尼犍子呵罵突目佉已,復白佛言:「置彼凡輩鄙賤之說,我今別有所問。」

佛告薩遮尼犍子:「恣汝所問,當隨問答。」

「云何?瞿曇!為弟子說法,令離疑惑?」

佛告火種居士:「我為諸弟子說諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切如實觀察非我、非異我、不相在;受、想、行、識亦復如是。彼學必見跡不斷壞,堪任成就,厭離知見,守甘露門,雖非一切悉得究竟,且向涅槃。如是弟子從我教法,得離疑惑。」

復問:「瞿曇!復云何教諸弟子,于佛法得盡諸漏、無漏,心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』?」

佛告火種居士:「正以此法,諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切如實知非我、非異我、不相在;受、想、行、識亦復如是。彼于爾時成就三種無上——智無上、解脫無上、解脫知見無上。成就三種無上已,于大師所恭敬、尊重、供養如佛

現代漢語譯本 『比如在城鎮村落旁邊有大片水域,男女老少都到水中嬉戲,捕捉水中的螃蟹,截斷它們的腳,放在陸地上,因為沒有腳,就不能再回到水中。薩遮尼犍子也是如此。所有有辯才的人都被如來截斷了辯才,最終不敢再來找如來辯論。』 當時,薩遮尼犍子怒火中燒,罵突目佉離車說:『你這個粗鄙的東西!不明白它在叫什麼嗎?我自己在和沙門瞿曇辯論,關你什麼事?』 薩遮尼犍子呵斥完突目佉后,又對佛說:『先放下那些凡夫俗子的卑劣言論,我現在有別的問題要問。』 佛告訴薩遮尼犍子:『你儘管問,我會隨你的問題回答。』 『怎麼樣?瞿曇!你為弟子說法,讓他們消除疑惑嗎?』 佛告訴火種居士:『我為弟子們講述所有色法,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細微,無論是美好還是醜陋,無論是遙遠還是臨近,他們都如實觀察到這些都不是我,不是與我不同的東西,也不是存在於我之中的東西;感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此。他們學習后必定能看到修行的痕跡不會斷絕,能夠成就,厭離世俗的見解,守護甘露之門,雖然不是所有人都能夠完全達到究竟,但至少是朝著涅槃的方向前進。這樣的弟子從我的教法中,能夠消除疑惑。』 又問:『瞿曇!你又是如何教導弟子,讓他們在佛法中能夠斷盡所有煩惱、達到無煩惱,心解脫、智慧解脫,在今生就能自己證悟:『我已不再受生,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來世。』?』 佛告訴火種居士:『正是用這個方法,所有色法,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細微,無論是美好還是醜陋,無論是遙遠還是臨近,他們都如實知道這些都不是我,不是與我不同的東西,也不是存在於我之中的東西;感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此。他們在那個時候成就三種無上——智慧無上、解脫無上、解脫知見無上。成就三種無上之後,對於大師恭敬、尊重、供養如同佛一樣。』

English version 'For example, near a town or village, there is a large body of water where men, women, and children all go to play. They catch crabs in the water, cut off their legs, and place them on land. Because they have no legs, they cannot return to the water. Saccanigantha is also like this. All those with eloquence have had their eloquence cut off by the Tathagata, and they will ultimately not dare to come again to debate with the Tathagata.' At that time, Saccanigantha, filled with intense anger, scolded Tumukha Licchavi, saying, 'You crude thing! Do you not understand what it is saying? I am debating with the Shramana Gautama myself, what does it have to do with you?' After scolding Tumukha, Saccanigantha said to the Buddha, 'Put aside the base words of those ordinary people, I have another question to ask.' The Buddha said to Saccanigantha, 'Ask whatever you wish, and I will answer accordingly.' 'How is it, Gautama? Do you teach your disciples in a way that removes their doubts?' The Buddha said to the householder of the fire clan, 'I teach my disciples about all forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near. They truly observe that all of these are not me, not different from me, and not existing within me; feelings, thoughts, actions, and consciousness are also the same. Those who learn will surely see that the path of practice is not broken, they are capable of achieving, they are disgusted with worldly views, they guard the gate of nectar, although not all can reach the ultimate, they are at least moving towards Nirvana. Such disciples, from my teachings, are able to remove their doubts.' He asked again, 'Gautama! How do you teach your disciples so that in the Dharma they can exhaust all defilements, reach the state of no defilements, achieve liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, and in this very life realize for themselves: 『My birth is exhausted, the pure life is established, what needed to be done is done, and I know for myself that there will be no further existence』?' The Buddha said to the householder of the fire clan, 'It is precisely through this method that all forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, they truly know that all of these are not me, not different from me, and not existing within me; feelings, thoughts, actions, and consciousness are also the same. At that time, they achieve three supreme things—supreme wisdom, supreme liberation, and supreme knowledge of liberation. Having achieved these three supreme things, they respect, honor, and make offerings to the master as if he were the Buddha.'


。世尊覺一切法,即以此法調伏弟子,令得安隱、令得無畏、調伏寂靜、究竟涅槃。世尊為涅槃故,為弟子說法。火種居士!我諸弟子於此法中,得盡諸漏,得心解脫,得慧解脫,于現法中自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

薩遮尼犍子白佛言:「瞿曇!猶如壯夫,鋒刃亂下,猶可得免;瞿曇論手,難可得脫。如盛毒蛇,猶可得避;曠澤猛火,猶可得避;兇惡醉象,亦可得免;狂餓師子,悉可得免;沙門瞿曇論議手中,難可得脫。非我凡品,輕躁鄙夫,論具不備,以論議故,來詣瞿曇。

「沙門瞿曇!此毗舍離豐樂國土,有遮波梨支提、漆庵羅樹支提、多子支提、瞿曇在拘樓陀支提、婆羅受持支提、舍重擔支提、力士寶冠支提。世尊!當安樂於此毗舍離國,諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門,及諸世間,於世尊所,常得恭敬、奉事、供養,令此諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門,長夜安樂。唯愿止此,明朝與諸大眾,受我薄食。」

爾時,世尊默然而許。時,薩遮尼犍子知佛世尊默然受請已,歡喜隨喜,從座起去。

爾時,薩遮尼犍子于彼道中,語諸離車:「我已請沙門瞿曇及諸大眾,供設飯食,汝等人各辦一釜食,送至我所。」

諸離車各還其家,星夜供辦,晨朝送至薩遮尼犍子所。薩遮尼犍子晨朝灑掃敷座,供辦凈水,遣使詣佛,白言:「時到。」

爾時,世尊與諸大眾,著衣持缽,往薩遮尼犍子所,大眾前坐。薩遮尼犍子自手奉施清凈飲食,充足大眾。食已,洗缽竟

現代漢語譯本:世尊覺悟了一切法,就用這些法來調伏弟子,使他們得到安穩、無畏,調伏寂靜,最終達到涅槃。世尊爲了涅槃的緣故,為弟子們說法。火種居士!我的弟子們在這法中,能夠斷盡一切煩惱,得到心的解脫,得到智慧的解脫,在現世中自己證悟:『我生死已盡,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』 薩遮尼犍子對佛說:『瞿曇!就像一個壯漢,面對亂飛的刀刃,或許還能躲避;但瞿曇的辯論之手,卻難以逃脫。就像一條劇毒的蛇,或許還能避開;廣闊荒野上的猛火,或許還能避開;兇惡的醉象,也可以躲避;瘋狂飢餓的獅子,也都可以躲避;但要從沙門瞿曇的辯論中逃脫,卻難上加難。我不是那些平庸、輕浮、鄙陋的人,也不是那些辯論準備不足的人,因為辯論的緣故,才來找瞿曇。』 『沙門瞿曇!這毗舍離富饒的國土,有遮波梨支提、漆庵羅樹支提、多子支提、瞿曇在拘樓陀支提、婆羅受持支提、舍重擔支提、力士寶冠支提。世尊!您應當安住在毗舍離國,讓諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門,以及世間眾人,都能在世尊這裡,常常得到恭敬、侍奉、供養,使這些天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門,長久安樂。希望您能留在這裡,明天早上和大家一起,接受我準備的粗茶淡飯。』 這時,世尊默然答應了。薩遮尼犍子知道佛世尊默許了他的邀請,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去。 當時,薩遮尼犍子在路上,對那些離車人說:『我已經邀請了沙門瞿曇和他的弟子們,準備飯食供養,你們每個人都準備一釜食物,送到我這裡來。』 那些離車人各自回到家中,連夜準備,清晨送到薩遮尼犍子那裡。薩遮尼犍子清晨灑掃場地,鋪設座位,準備好凈水,派人去請佛,說:『時間到了。』 這時,世尊和他的弟子們,穿好衣服,拿著缽,前往薩遮尼犍子那裡,在大眾前坐下。薩遮尼犍子親自奉上清凈的飲食,讓大家吃飽。吃完飯,洗完缽后。

English version: The World-Honored One, having awakened to all dharmas, uses these very dharmas to tame his disciples, enabling them to attain peace, fearlessness, tamed tranquility, and ultimate Nirvana. The World-Honored One teaches the Dharma to his disciples for the sake of Nirvana. Householder of the Fire Kind! My disciples, within this Dharma, are able to exhaust all defilements, attain liberation of mind, attain liberation of wisdom, and in this very life, realize for themselves: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, and I know for myself that there is no further existence.』 Saccaka Nigantha said to the Buddha, 『Gautama! It is like a strong man, who might still be able to avoid a flurry of sharp blades; but Gautama』s hand of debate is difficult to escape. Like a venomous snake, one might still be able to avoid it; a raging fire in the wilderness, one might still be able to avoid it; a fierce drunken elephant, one might also be able to avoid it; a crazed, hungry lion, all of these one might be able to avoid; but to escape from the debate of the Shramana Gautama is extremely difficult. I am not one of those ordinary, frivolous, and contemptible people, nor am I one of those who are ill-prepared for debate, but it is because of debate that I have come to Gautama.』 『Shramana Gautama! In this prosperous land of Vaishali, there are the Chapala Shrine, the Mango Tree Shrine, the Many Sons Shrine, the Gautama in the Kuru Shrine, the Bharata Holding Shrine, the Abandoning Burdens Shrine, and the Strongman』s Crown Shrine. World-Honored One! You should reside peacefully in this land of Vaishali, so that the gods, demons, Brahmas, Shramanas, Brahmins, and all beings in the world, may always receive respect, service, and offerings from the World-Honored One, and that these gods, demons, Brahmas, Shramanas, and Brahmins may have long-lasting peace. I hope you will stay here, and tomorrow morning, together with everyone, accept the simple meal I have prepared.』 At that time, the World-Honored One remained silent in agreement. Saccaka Nigantha, knowing that the World-Honored One had silently accepted his invitation, rejoiced and praised, and rose from his seat and departed. At that time, Saccaka Nigantha, on the road, said to the Licchavis, 『I have invited the Shramana Gautama and his disciples to a meal offering, each of you prepare a pot of food and send it to my place.』 The Licchavis each returned to their homes, prepared food throughout the night, and sent it to Saccaka Nigantha』s place in the morning. Saccaka Nigantha, in the morning, swept the area, laid out seats, prepared clean water, and sent a messenger to the Buddha, saying, 『The time has come.』 At that time, the World-Honored One and his disciples, having put on their robes and taken their bowls, went to Saccaka Nigantha』s place and sat down in front of the assembly. Saccaka Nigantha personally offered pure food, filling everyone. After eating, they washed their bowls.


。薩遮尼犍子知佛食竟,洗缽已,取一卑床于佛前坐。爾時,世尊為薩遮尼犍子說隨喜偈言:

「于諸大會中,  奉火為其最;  闈陀經典中,  婆毗諦為最;  人中王為最,  諸河海為最,  諸星月為最,  諸明日為最,  十方天人中,  等正覺為最。」

爾時,世尊為薩遮尼犍子種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,還歸本處。

時,諸比丘于彼道中眾共論議:「五百離車各為薩遮尼犍子供辦飲食,彼諸離車於何得福?薩遮尼犍子於何得福?」

爾時,諸比丘還自住處,舉衣缽,洗足已,至世尊所,頭面禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我等向于路中自共論議,五百離車為薩遮尼犍子供辦飲食,供養世尊、諸大眾。彼諸離車於何得福?薩遮尼犍子於何得福?」

佛告諸比丘:「彼諸離車供辦飲食,為薩遮尼犍子,于薩遮尼犍子所因緣得福,薩遮尼犍子得福佛功德。彼諸離車得施有貪、恚、癡因緣果報,薩遮尼犍子得施無貪、恚、癡因緣果報。」

一時,佛住摩拘羅山。

時,有侍者比丘名曰羅陀,晡時從禪覺,往詣佛所,禮佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「如世尊說有流。云何名有流?云何名有流滅?」

佛告羅陀:「善哉所問!當爲汝說

薩遮尼犍子知道佛陀用完餐,洗完缽后,取了一張矮床在佛陀面前坐下。這時,世尊為薩遮尼犍子說了隨喜偈: 『在各種大會中,祭火是最重要的;在吠陀經典中,婆毗諦是最重要的;在人類中,國王是最重要的;在河流中,海洋是最重要的;在星辰中,月亮是最重要的;在光明中,太陽是最重要的;在十方天人中,等正覺是最重要的。』 這時,世尊為薩遮尼犍子說了各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜后,就回到自己的住處。 當時,眾比丘在那條路上一起議論:『五百離車各自為薩遮尼犍子準備飲食,那些離車會得到什麼福報?薩遮尼犍子會得到什麼福報?』 這時,眾比丘回到自己的住處,拿起衣缽,洗完腳后,來到世尊那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!我們剛才在路上一起議論,五百離車為薩遮尼犍子準備飲食,供養世尊和大眾。那些離車會得到什麼福報?薩遮尼犍子會得到什麼福報?』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『那些離車準備飲食,是爲了薩遮尼犍子,他們因為薩遮尼犍子的緣故得到福報,薩遮尼犍子得到的福報是佛陀的功德。那些離車得到的是因為貪、嗔、癡而產生的果報,薩遮尼犍子得到的是因為無貪、無嗔、無癡而產生的果報。』 彼多羅十問,差摩、焰、仙尼,阿㝹羅、長者,西、毛端、薩遮。 《雜阿含經》卷第五 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第六 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (一一一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在摩拘羅山。 當時,有一位侍者比丘名叫羅陀,傍晚從禪定中醒來,前往佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊,您說有「流」。什麼叫做「有流」?什麼叫做「有流滅」?』 佛陀告訴羅陀:『你問得好!我將為你解說。』

Saccakanigantha, knowing that the Buddha had finished eating and washed his bowl, took a low seat and sat in front of the Buddha. At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse of rejoicing for Saccakanigantha: 'Among all assemblies, offering fire is the most important; among the Vedic scriptures, the Pavati is the most important; among humans, the king is the most important; among rivers, the ocean is the most important; among stars, the moon is the most important; among lights, the sun is the most important; among the gods and humans of the ten directions, the Samyak-sambuddha is the most important.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke various teachings to Saccakanigantha, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening him, and then returned to his own dwelling. At that time, the monks on that road discussed together: 'Five hundred Licchavis each prepared food for Saccakanigantha. What merit will those Licchavis gain? What merit will Saccakanigantha gain?' At that time, the monks returned to their own dwellings, took their robes and bowls, washed their feet, and went to the World Honored One, bowed their heads to his feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! We were just discussing on the road, five hundred Licchavis prepared food for Saccakanigantha, and made offerings to the World Honored One and the assembly. What merit will those Licchavis gain? What merit will Saccakanigantha gain?' The Buddha told the monks: 'Those Licchavis prepared food for Saccakanigantha, and they gain merit because of Saccakanigantha. Saccakanigantha gains merit from the Buddha's virtues. Those Licchavis gain the karmic results of giving with greed, hatred, and delusion, while Saccakanigantha gains the karmic results of giving without greed, hatred, and delusion.'

At that time, there was an attendant monk named Radha, who awoke from meditation in the evening, went to the Buddha, bowed his head to his feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, you say there is a 'flow'. What is called a 'flow'? What is called the cessation of a 'flow'?' The Buddha said to Radha: 'Well asked! I will explain it to you.'


。所謂有流者,愚癡無聞凡夫於色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離不如實知;不如實知故,於色愛樂、讚歎、攝受、染著。緣愛樂色故取,緣取故有,緣有故生,緣生故老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦增。如是純大苦聚斯集起。受、想、行、識亦復如是。是名有流。

「多聞聖弟子於色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離如實知;如實知故,于彼色不起愛樂、讚歎、攝受、染著;不愛樂、讚歎、攝受、染著故,色愛則滅,愛滅則取滅,取滅則有滅,有滅則生滅,生滅則老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱,如是純大苦聚滅。受、想、行、識亦復如是。是名如來所說有流、有流滅。」

佛說此經已,羅陀比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住摩拘羅山。

時,有侍者比丘名羅陀,晡時從禪覺,往詣佛所,禮佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!如世尊說色斷知,受、想、行、識斷知。世尊!云何色斷知,受、想、行、識斷知?」

佛告羅陀:「善哉所問,當爲汝說。於色憂、悲、苦、惱盡,離欲、滅、息、沒,是名色斷知;于受、想、行、識,憂、悲、惱、苦盡,離欲、滅、息、沒,是名受、想、行、識斷知。」

佛說此經已,羅陀比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在摩拘羅山,侍者比丘名曰羅陀

現代漢語譯本:所謂『有流』,是指愚癡無知的凡夫對於色(物質現象)的生起、滅去、樂味、過患、以及從中解脫的實相不能如實知曉;因為不能如實知曉,所以對色產生愛戀、讚歎、執取、染著。由於愛戀色而產生執取,由於執取而產生存在,由於存在而產生出生,由於出生而導致衰老、疾病、死亡、憂愁、悲傷、苦惱的增加。這樣,純粹巨大的苦惱聚集就產生了。感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此。這被稱為『有流』。 多聞的聖弟子對於色的生起、滅去、樂味、過患、以及從中解脫的實相能夠如實知曉;因為能夠如實知曉,所以對色不會產生愛戀、讚歎、執取、染著;因為不愛戀、不讚嘆、不執取、不染著,所以對色的愛戀就滅盡了,愛戀滅盡則執取滅盡,執取滅盡則存在滅盡,存在滅盡則出生滅盡,出生滅盡則衰老、疾病、死亡、憂愁、悲傷、苦惱,這樣,純粹巨大的苦惱聚集就滅盡了。感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此。這被稱為如來所說的『有流』和『有流的滅盡』。 佛陀說完這部經后,羅陀比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一一二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在摩拘羅山。 當時,有一位侍者比丘名叫羅陀,在傍晚時分從禪定中醒來,前往佛陀所在之處,禮拜佛陀的雙足,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!正如世尊所說,要斷知色,斷知感受、思想、行為、意識。世尊!如何才能斷知色,斷知感受、思想、行為、意識呢?』 佛陀告訴羅陀:『你問得好,我將為你解說。對於色,憂愁、悲傷、痛苦、苦惱都滅盡,離欲、滅、息、沒,這被稱為斷知色;對於感受、思想、行為、意識,憂愁、悲傷、痛苦、苦惱都滅盡,離欲、滅、息、沒,這被稱為斷知感受、思想、行為、意識。』 佛陀說完這部經后,羅陀比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一一三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在摩拘羅山,侍者比丘名叫羅陀。

English version: 'What is meant by 『flowing』 is that ignorant and unlearned ordinary people do not truly understand the arising, ceasing, gratification, danger, and escape from form (material phenomena); because they do not truly understand, they are attached to, praise, cling to, and are stained by form. Because of attachment to form, they grasp; because of grasping, there is existence; because of existence, there is birth; because of birth, there is an increase in old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, and suffering. Thus, a great mass of pure suffering arises. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. This is called 『flowing.』 A well-learned noble disciple truly understands the arising, ceasing, gratification, danger, and escape from form; because they truly understand, they do not become attached to, praise, cling to, or are stained by form; because they do not attach to, praise, cling to, or are stained by form, their attachment to form ceases, when attachment ceases, grasping ceases, when grasping ceases, existence ceases, when existence ceases, birth ceases, when birth ceases, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, and suffering cease, thus, a great mass of pure suffering ceases. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. This is called 『flowing』 and 『the cessation of flowing』 as taught by the Tathagata. After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Radha, having heard what the Buddha had said, was delighted and practiced accordingly. (112) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Makula. Then, a bhikkhu attendant named Radha, having awakened from meditation in the late afternoon, went to where the Buddha was, paid homage to the Buddha』s feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 『Venerable Sir, as the Venerable Sir has said, one should know the cutting off of form, the cutting off of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Venerable Sir, how does one know the cutting off of form, the cutting off of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness?』 The Buddha said to Radha, 『Well asked, I will explain it to you. With regard to form, when sorrow, grief, pain, and suffering are all extinguished, when there is detachment, cessation, calming, and disappearance, this is called knowing the cutting off of form; with regard to feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, when sorrow, grief, pain, and suffering are all extinguished, when there is detachment, cessation, calming, and disappearance, this is called knowing the cutting off of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.』 After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Radha, having heard what the Buddha had said, was delighted and practiced accordingly. (113) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Makula, and the bhikkhu attendant was named Radha.


時,有眾多外道出家詣尊者羅陀所,共相問訊已,退坐一面,問尊者羅陀言:「汝何故於沙門瞿曇所出家修梵行?」

尊者羅陀答言:「我為斷苦故,於世尊所出家修梵行。」

復問:「汝為斷何等苦故,于沙門瞿曇所出家修梵行?」

羅陀答言:「為斷色苦故,於世尊所出家修梵行,斷受、想、行、識苦故,於世尊所出家修梵行。」

時,諸外道出家聞尊者羅陀所說,心不喜,從坐起,呵罵而去。

爾時,尊者羅陀知諸外道出家去已,作是念:「我向如是說,將不譭謗世尊耶?如說說耶?如法說、法次法說耶?將不為他難問詰責墮負處耶?」

爾時,尊者羅陀晡時從禪覺,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,卻住一面,以其上事具白佛言:「世尊!我向所說,得無過耶?將不譭謗世尊耶?不為他人難問詰責墮負處耶?如說說耶?如法說、法次法說耶?」

佛告羅陀:「汝成實說,不毀如來,如說說、如法說、法次法說。所以者何?羅陀!色苦,為斷彼苦故,出家修梵行;受、想、行、識苦,為斷彼苦故,出家修梵行。」

佛說此經已,羅陀比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住摩拘羅山,侍者比丘名曰羅陀。

時,有眾多外道出家至尊者羅陀所,共相問訊已,退坐一面,問羅陀言:「汝為何等故,于沙門瞿曇所出家修梵行?」

羅陀答言:「我為知苦故,於世尊所出家修梵行。」

時,諸外道聞羅陀所說,心不喜,從坐起,呵罵而去

現代漢語譯本:當時,有許多外道出家人來到尊者羅陀那裡,互相問候之後,退坐在一旁,問尊者羅陀說:『你為什麼要在沙門瞿曇那裡出家修行梵行呢?』 尊者羅陀回答說:『我爲了斷除痛苦,所以在世尊那裡出家修行梵行。』 他們又問:『你爲了斷除什麼樣的痛苦,在沙門瞿曇那裡出家修行梵行呢?』 羅陀回答說:『爲了斷除色(物質)的痛苦,所以在世尊那裡出家修行梵行;爲了斷除受(感受)、想(思維)、行(意志)、識(意識)的痛苦,所以在世尊那裡出家修行梵行。』 當時,那些外道出家人聽了尊者羅陀所說,心中不悅,從座位上站起來,呵斥謾罵著離開了。 那時,尊者羅陀知道那些外道出家人離開后,心想:『我剛才那樣說,會不會是在誹謗世尊呢?是如實說嗎?是如法說、符合法理的說法嗎?會不會因此被他人質問責難而處於不利的境地呢?』 那時,尊者羅陀在傍晚時分從禪定中醒來,前往佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,然後退到一旁,將剛才的事情詳細地告訴佛陀說:『世尊!我剛才所說,有沒有過錯呢?會不會是在誹謗世尊呢?會不會因此被他人質問責難而處於不利的境地呢?是如實說嗎?是如法說、符合法理的說法嗎?』 佛陀告訴羅陀說:『你所說的是真實的,沒有誹謗如來,是如實說、如法說、符合法理的說法。為什麼呢?羅陀!色(物質)是苦,爲了斷除這種苦,所以出家修行梵行;受(感受)、想(思維)、行(意志)、識(意識)也是苦,爲了斷除這些苦,所以出家修行梵行。』 佛陀說完這部經后,羅陀比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地接受並奉行。 (一一四) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在摩拘羅山,侍者比丘名叫羅陀。 當時,有許多外道出家人來到尊者羅陀那裡,互相問候之後,退坐在一旁,問羅陀說:『你爲了什麼原因,在沙門瞿曇那裡出家修行梵行呢?』 羅陀回答說:『我爲了瞭解痛苦,所以在世尊那裡出家修行梵行。』 當時,那些外道聽了羅陀所說,心中不悅,從座位上站起來,呵斥謾罵著離開了。

English version: At that time, many ascetics from other sects came to Venerable Radha. After exchanging greetings, they sat down to one side and asked Venerable Radha, 'Why did you go forth and practice the holy life under the ascetic Gautama?' Venerable Radha replied, 'I went forth and practice the holy life under the Blessed One in order to end suffering.' They further asked, 'For the sake of ending what kind of suffering did you go forth and practice the holy life under the ascetic Gautama?' Radha replied, 'I went forth and practice the holy life under the Blessed One in order to end the suffering of form; I went forth and practice the holy life under the Blessed One in order to end the suffering of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' At that time, the ascetics from other sects, upon hearing what Venerable Radha said, were displeased. They rose from their seats, scolded him, and left. Then, Venerable Radha, knowing that the ascetics from other sects had left, thought to himself, 'Did I, in speaking as I did, slander the Blessed One? Did I speak truthfully? Did I speak according to the Dharma, in accordance with the Dharma? Will I not be questioned, challenged, and placed in a position of defeat by others?' Then, Venerable Radha, in the late afternoon, arose from his meditation and went to the Buddha. He bowed down at the Buddha's feet, stood to one side, and reported the matter to the Buddha in detail, saying, 'Blessed One, was there any fault in what I said? Did I slander the Blessed One? Will I not be questioned, challenged, and placed in a position of defeat by others? Did I speak truthfully? Did I speak according to the Dharma, in accordance with the Dharma?' The Buddha said to Radha, 'You spoke truthfully, you did not slander the Tathagata, you spoke truthfully, according to the Dharma, in accordance with the Dharma. Why is that? Radha, form is suffering, and it is for the sake of ending that suffering that one goes forth and practices the holy life; feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are suffering, and it is for the sake of ending that suffering that one goes forth and practices the holy life.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Radha, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (114) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Makula, and the attendant bhikkhu was named Radha. At that time, many ascetics from other sects came to Venerable Radha. After exchanging greetings, they sat down to one side and asked Radha, 'For what reason did you go forth and practice the holy life under the ascetic Gautama?' Radha replied, 'I went forth and practice the holy life under the Blessed One in order to understand suffering.' At that time, the ascetics from other sects, upon hearing what Radha said, were displeased. They rose from their seats, scolded him, and left.


爾時,羅陀晡時從禪覺,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。以其上事具白佛言:「世尊!我向所說,得無譭謗世尊耶?將不令他難問詰責墮負處耶?不如說說、非如法說、非法次法說耶?」

佛告羅陀:「汝真實說,不毀如來,不令他人難問詰責墮負處也,是如說說、如法說、法次法說。所以者何?色是苦,為知彼苦故,于如來所出家修梵行;受、想、行、識是苦,為知彼苦故,于如來所出家修梵行。」

佛說此經已,羅陀比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

時,有眾多外道出家至尊者羅陀所,共相問訊已,退坐一面,問羅陀言:「汝為何等故,于沙門瞿曇所出家修梵行?」

羅陀答言:「為於色憂、悲、惱、苦盡、離欲、滅、寂、沒故,于如來所出家修梵行;為于受、想、行、識,憂、悲、惱、苦盡、離欲、滅、寂、沒故,于如來所出家修梵行。」

現代漢語譯本 當時,羅陀在下午從禪定中醒來,前往佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁坐下。他將之前發生的事情詳細地告訴佛陀,說:『世尊!我剛才所說的話,有沒有誹謗世尊呢?會不會讓別人來質問責難,使我處於不利的境地呢?是不是不如實說、不符合佛法地說、不按照佛法次第來說呢?』 佛陀告訴羅陀:『你所說的是真實的,沒有誹謗如來,也不會讓別人來質問責難,使你處於不利的境地,是如實說、符合佛法地說、按照佛法次第來說。為什麼呢?因為色是苦,爲了瞭解那個苦,所以在如來這裡出家修行梵行;受、想、行、識是苦,爲了瞭解那個苦,所以在如來這裡出家修行梵行。』 佛陀說完這部經后,羅陀比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一一五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在摩拘羅山。當時,有一位侍者比丘名叫羅陀。 當時,有許多外道出家人來到尊者羅陀那裡,互相問候之後,退到一旁坐下,問羅陀說:『你爲了什麼原因,在沙門瞿曇那裡出家修行梵行呢?』 羅陀回答說:『爲了對色憂愁、悲傷、煩惱、痛苦的止息、離欲、滅盡、寂靜、消失,所以在如來這裡出家修行梵行;爲了對受、想、行、識憂愁、悲傷、煩惱、痛苦的止息、離欲、滅盡、寂靜、消失,所以在如來這裡出家修行梵行。』 當時,許多外道出家人聽了這些話后,心中不悅,從座位上站起來,呵斥謾罵著離開了。 當時,羅陀在下午從禪定中醒來,前往佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁坐下。他將之前發生的事情詳細地告訴佛陀,說:『世尊!我有沒有誹謗世尊呢?會不會讓別人來質問責難,使我處於不利的境地呢?是不是不如實說、不符合佛法地說、不按照佛法次第來說呢?』 佛陀告訴羅陀:『你所說的是真實的,沒有誹謗如來,也不會讓別人來質問責難,使你處於不利的境地,是如實說、符合佛法地說、按照佛法次第來說。為什麼呢?羅陀!色是憂愁、悲傷、煩惱、痛苦的,爲了斷除這些,所以在如來這裡出家修行梵行。受、想、行、識是憂愁、悲傷、煩惱、痛苦的,爲了斷除這些,所以在如來這裡出家修行梵行。』

English version Then, Radha, in the afternoon, having awakened from meditation, went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He reported to the Buddha in detail what had happened, saying: 'Venerable Sir, what I said just now, did it not slander the Venerable One? Will it not cause others to question and challenge me, placing me in a disadvantageous position? Is it not speaking untruthfully, not in accordance with the Dharma, not in accordance with the sequence of the Dharma?' The Buddha said to Radha: 'What you said is true, it does not slander the Tathagata, nor will it cause others to question and challenge you, placing you in a disadvantageous position. It is speaking truthfully, in accordance with the Dharma, and in accordance with the sequence of the Dharma. Why is that? Because form is suffering, and to understand that suffering, one goes forth from home into the homeless life under the Tathagata to practice the holy life; feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are suffering, and to understand that suffering, one goes forth from home into the homeless life under the Tathagata to practice the holy life.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Radha, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (115) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Makula. At that time, there was a bhikkhu attendant named Radha. Then, many ascetics of other sects came to the venerable Radha, and after exchanging greetings, they sat down to one side and asked Radha: 'For what reason have you gone forth from home into the homeless life under the ascetic Gotama to practice the holy life?' Radha replied: 'It is for the cessation, detachment, extinction, pacification, and disappearance of sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering regarding form that I have gone forth from home into the homeless life under the Tathagata to practice the holy life; it is for the cessation, detachment, extinction, pacification, and disappearance of sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering regarding feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness that I have gone forth from home into the homeless life under the Tathagata to practice the holy life.' Then, many ascetics of other sects, having heard this, were displeased, and rising from their seats, they scolded and reviled him before leaving. Then, Radha, in the afternoon, having awakened from meditation, went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He reported to the Buddha in detail what had happened, saying: 'Venerable Sir, have I slandered the Venerable One? Will it not cause others to question and challenge me, placing me in a disadvantageous position? Is it not speaking untruthfully, not in accordance with the Dharma, not in accordance with the sequence of the Dharma?' The Buddha said to Radha: 'What you said is true, it does not slander the Tathagata, nor will it cause others to question and challenge you, placing you in a disadvantageous position. It is speaking truthfully, in accordance with the Dharma, and in accordance with the sequence of the Dharma. Why is that? Radha, form is sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering, and to abandon these, one goes forth from home into the homeless life under the Tathagata to practice the holy life. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering, and to abandon these, one goes forth from home into the homeless life under the Tathagata to practice the holy life.'

當時,有許多外道出家人來到羅陀那裡,互相問候之後,退坐在一旁,問羅陀說:『你為什麼在沙門瞿曇那裡出家修行梵行?』

羅陀回答說:『因為在色法中見到有『我』、『我所』、『我慢』的執著,如果這些執著能夠斷盡、離欲、滅除、寂靜、消失,在受、想、行、識中,見到有『我』、『我所』、『我慢』的執著,如果這些執著能夠斷盡、離欲、滅除、寂靜、消失,所以我才在世尊那裡出家修行梵行。』

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Makula. At that time, there was an attendant bhikkhu named Radha.

Then, many ascetics of other sects came to Radha, and after exchanging greetings, they sat down to one side and asked Radha, 'Why have you gone forth from home into homelessness under the ascetic Gotama to practice the holy life?'

Radha replied, 'Because in form, the attachment to 'I,' 'mine,' and the conceit of 'I am' is seen; if that is exhausted, dispassionate, ceased, calmed, and extinguished, and in feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness, the attachment to 'I,' 'mine,' and the conceit of 'I am' is seen; if that is exhausted, dispassionate, ceased, calmed, and extinguished, therefore I have gone forth from home into homelessness under the Blessed One to practice the holy life.'

The ascetics of other sects, having heard these words, were displeased, and rising from their seats, they scolded and reviled him and left.

The bhikkhu Radha, in the late afternoon, having awakened from meditation, went to the Buddha, bowed down at his feet, and sat down to one side.

Does it not cause others to question and challenge me, leading to a position of defeat? Is it not an untrue statement, an unrighteous statement, or a statement not in accordance with the Dharma?'

The Buddha said to Radha, 'What you said is true, it is not a slander of the Tathagata, nor does it cause others to question and challenge you, leading to a position of defeat. It is a true statement, a righteous statement, and a statement in accordance with the Dharma. Why is that?

如是我聞:

一時,佛住摩拘羅山。時,有侍者比丘名曰羅陀

現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?因為對於色(物質現象)的貪婪、嗔恨、愚癡,如果它們完全消失、脫離慾望、滅盡、寂靜、消沒;對於感受、思想、行為、意識的貪婪、嗔恨、愚癡,如果它們完全消失、脫離慾望、滅盡、寂靜、消沒,因此才在如來這裡出家修行清凈的行為。 佛陀說完這部經后,羅陀比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一一九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在摩拘羅山。當時,有一位侍者比丘名叫羅陀。 當時,有許多外道出家人來到羅陀那裡,互相問候之後,退坐在一旁,問羅陀說:『你為什麼在沙門瞿曇那裡出家修行清凈的行為呢?』 羅陀回答說:『因為對於、愛、喜,如果它們完全消失、脫離慾望、滅盡、寂靜、消沒;對於感受、思想、行為、意識的慾望、愛、喜,如果它們完全消失、脫離慾望、滅盡、寂靜、消沒,因此才在如來這裡出家修行清凈的行為。』 當時,那些外道聽了這話后,心中不悅,從座位上站起來,呵斥謾罵著離開了。 羅陀比丘在傍晚時分從禪定中醒來,來到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。把他上面所說的話全部告訴佛陀說:『世尊!我所說的話,沒有誹謗如來吧?沒有讓別人難以質問責難而處於下風吧?沒有不如實說、不如法說、不符合法理次序地說吧?』 佛陀告訴羅陀說:『你所說的是真實的,沒有誹謗如來,沒有讓別人難以質問責難而處於下風,是如實說、如法說、符合法理次序地說。這是什麼原因呢?因為對於、愛、喜,如果它們完全消失、脫離慾望、滅盡、寂靜、消沒;對於感受、思想、行為、意識的慾望、愛、喜,如果它們完全消失、脫離慾望、滅盡、寂靜、消沒,因此才在如來這裡出家修行清凈的行為。』 佛陀說完這部經后,羅陀比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一二〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在摩拘羅山。當時,有一位侍者比丘名叫羅陀。

English version: What is the reason for this? It is because with regard to form (material phenomena), greed, hatred, and delusion, if they are completely extinguished, detached from desire, ceased, pacified, and annihilated; with regard to feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, greed, hatred, and delusion, if they are completely extinguished, detached from desire, ceased, pacified, and annihilated, therefore one goes forth from home into homelessness under the Tathagata to practice the holy life. Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Radha was delighted and practiced the teachings of the Buddha. (119) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Makula. At that time, there was a bhikkhu attendant named Radha. Then, many ascetics of other sects came to Radha, and after exchanging greetings, they sat down to one side and asked Radha, 'Why have you gone forth from home into homelessness under the ascetic Gotama to practice the holy life?' Radha replied, 'It is because with regard to , craving, and delight, if they are completely extinguished, detached from desire, ceased, pacified, and annihilated; with regard to feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, desire, craving, and delight, if they are completely extinguished, detached from desire, ceased, pacified, and annihilated, therefore one goes forth from home into homelessness under the Tathagata to practice the holy life.' Then, those ascetics of other sects, upon hearing these words, were displeased, and rising from their seats, they scolded and reviled him and departed. Bhikkhu Radha, in the late afternoon, having arisen from meditation, went to the Buddha, bowed down at his feet, and sat down to one side. He then told the Buddha everything he had said earlier, saying, 'Venerable Sir, what I said, did it not slander the Tathagata? Did it not cause others to question and criticize me and put me in a disadvantageous position? Did it not speak untruthfully, unlawfully, and not in accordance with the order of the Dharma?' The Buddha said to Radha, 'What you said is true, it does not slander the Tathagata, it does not cause others to question and criticize you and put you in a disadvantageous position, it speaks truthfully, lawfully, and in accordance with the order of the Dharma. What is the reason for this? It is because with regard to , craving, and delight, if they are completely extinguished, detached from desire, ceased, pacified, and annihilated; with regard to feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, desire, craving, and delight, if they are completely extinguished, detached from desire, ceased, pacified, and annihilated, therefore one goes forth from home into homelessness under the Tathagata to practice the holy life.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Radha was delighted and practiced the teachings of the Buddha. (120) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Makula. At that time, there was a bhikkhu attendant named Radha.


爾時,世尊告羅陀言:「諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切當觀皆是魔所作;諸所有受、想、行、識,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切當觀皆是魔所作。」

佛告羅陀:「色為常耶?為無常耶?」

答曰:「無常。世尊!」

復問:「若無常者,是苦耶?」

答曰:「是苦。世尊!」

「受、想、行、識亦復如是。」復問:「羅陀!若無常、苦者,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于中見色是我、異我、相在不?」

答曰:「不也,世尊!」

佛告羅陀:「若多聞聖弟子於此五受陰不見是我、是我所故,于諸世間都無所取,無所取故無所著,無所著故自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴羅陀說:『所有色,無論是過去的、未來的、還是現在的,無論是內在的、還是外在的,無論是粗糙的、還是細微的,無論是美好的、還是醜陋的,無論是遙遠的、還是臨近的,這一切都應當看作是魔所製造的;所有感受、思想、行為、意識,無論是過去的、未來的、還是現在的,無論是內在的、還是外在的,無論是粗糙的、還是細微的,無論是美好的、還是醜陋的,無論是遙遠的、還是臨近的,這一切都應當看作是魔所製造的。』 佛陀告訴羅陀:『色是常住的嗎?還是無常的呢?』 羅陀回答說:『是無常的,世尊!』 佛陀又問:『如果它是無常的,那麼它是苦的嗎?』 羅陀回答說:『是苦的,世尊!』 『感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此。』佛陀又問:『羅陀,如果它是無常的、苦的,是變易的,那麼博學多聞的聖弟子會認為色是我、異於我、或存在於我之中嗎?』 羅陀回答說:『不會的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴羅陀:『如果博學多聞的聖弟子不認為這五蘊是我、或屬於我,那麼對於世間的一切就不會有所執取,沒有執取就不會有貪戀,沒有貪戀就會自覺證得涅槃:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來世。』』 佛陀說完這部經后,羅陀比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一二一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在摩拘羅山。當時,有一位侍者比丘名叫羅陀。 當時,世尊告訴羅陀比丘說:『所有色,無論是過去的、未來的、還是現在的,無論是內在的、還是外在的,無論是粗糙的、還是細微的,無論是美好的、還是醜陋的,無論是遙遠的、還是臨近的,這一切都是會消亡的;所有感受、思想、行為、意識,無論是過去的、未來的、還是現在的,無論是內在的、還是外在的,無論是粗糙的、還是細微的,無論是美好的、還是醜陋的,無論是遙遠的、還是臨近的,這一切都是會消亡的。』 佛陀告訴羅陀:『色是常住的嗎?還是無常的呢?』 羅陀回答說:『是無常的,世尊!』 佛陀又問:『如果它是無常的,那麼它是苦的嗎?』 羅陀回答說:『是苦的,世尊!』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One said to Radha, 'All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of them should be seen as made by Mara; all feelings, thoughts, actions, and consciousness, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of them should be seen as made by Mara.' The Buddha said to Radha, 'Is form permanent or impermanent?' Radha replied, 'Impermanent, O Lord!' He asked again, 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' Radha replied, 'It is suffering, O Lord!' 'Feelings, thoughts, actions, and consciousness are also the same.' He asked again, 'Radha, if it is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, would a well-learned noble disciple see form as 'I', 'different from I', or 'existing in I'?' Radha replied, 'No, O Lord!' The Buddha said to Radha, 'If a well-learned noble disciple does not see these five aggregates as 'I' or 'belonging to me', then he will not be attached to anything in the world. Without attachment, there will be no clinging. Without clinging, he will realize Nirvana: 'My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monk Radha, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (121) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying on Mount Makula. At that time, there was an attendant monk named Radha. At that time, the World Honored One said to the monk Radha, 'All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of them are subject to death; all feelings, thoughts, actions, and consciousness, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of them are subject to death.' The Buddha said to Radha, 'Is form permanent or impermanent?' Radha replied, 'Impermanent, O Lord!' He asked again, 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' Radha replied, 'It is suffering, O Lord!'


。世尊!」

「受、想、行、識,為常、為無常耶?」

答曰:「無常。世尊!」

復問:「若無常者,是苦耶?」

答曰:「是苦。世尊!」

復問:「若無常、苦者,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于中見是我、異我、相在不?」

答曰:「不也,世尊!」

佛告羅陀:「若多聞聖弟子於此五受陰如實觀察非我、非我所者,于諸世間都無所取,無所取者無所著,無所著故自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,羅陀比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住摩拘羅山。

時,有侍者比丘名曰羅陀,白佛言:「世尊!所謂眾生者,云何名為眾生?」

佛告羅陀:「於色染著纏綿,名曰眾生;于受、想、行、識染著纏綿,名曰眾生。」

佛告羅陀:「我說於色境界當散壞消滅,于受、想、行、識境界當散壞消滅,斷除愛慾,愛盡則苦盡,苦盡者我說作苦邊。譬如聚落中諸小男小女嬉戲,聚土作城郭宅舍,心愛樂著,愛未盡、欲未盡、念未盡、渴未盡,心常愛樂、守護,言:『我城郭,我舍宅。』若於彼土聚愛盡、欲盡、念盡、渴盡,則以手撥足蹴,令其消散。如是,羅陀!於色散壞消滅愛盡,愛盡故苦盡,苦盡故我說作苦邊。」

佛說此經已,羅陀比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住摩拘羅山

「世尊!」 「受、想、行、識,是常住的還是無常的呢?」 回答說:「是無常的,世尊!」 又問:「如果無常,是苦嗎?」 回答說:「是苦,世尊!」 又問:「如果無常、是苦,是會變化的,那麼博學多聞的聖弟子會認為其中有『我』、『異於我』、『存在於我之中』嗎?」 回答說:「不會的,世尊!」 佛告訴羅陀:「如果博學多聞的聖弟子能如實觀察這五種受陰,認為它們不是『我』,也不是『我所擁有』的,那麼對於世間的一切就不會執取,不執取就不會有執著,沒有執著就能自覺涅槃:『我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 佛說完這部經,羅陀比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一二二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在摩拘羅山。 當時,有一位侍者比丘名叫羅陀,他問佛說:「世尊!所謂的眾生,是怎樣被稱為眾生的呢?」 佛告訴羅陀:「對於色法產生染著和纏綿,就叫做眾生;對於受、想、行、識產生染著和纏綿,就叫做眾生。」 佛告訴羅陀:「我說對於色法的境界應當散壞消滅,對於受、想、行、識的境界應當散壞消滅,斷除愛慾,愛慾斷盡則痛苦斷盡,痛苦斷盡我就說達到了苦的邊際。譬如村落中的小男孩小女孩玩耍,堆土做成城郭房屋,心中喜愛執著,愛慾沒有斷盡、念頭沒有斷盡、渴求沒有斷盡,心中常常喜愛、守護,說:『這是我的城郭,這是我的房屋。』如果對於那些土堆的愛慾斷盡、念頭斷盡、渴求斷盡,就會用手撥開或用腳踢散,讓它們消散。羅陀,就像這樣,對於色法的散壞消滅,愛慾斷盡,愛慾斷盡所以痛苦斷盡,痛苦斷盡所以我說達到了苦的邊際。」 佛說完這部經,羅陀比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一二三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在摩拘羅山。

'Venerable Sir!' 'Are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness permanent or impermanent?' He replied, 'Impermanent, Venerable Sir!' He asked again, 'If they are impermanent, are they suffering?' He replied, 'They are suffering, Venerable Sir!' He asked again, 'If they are impermanent and suffering, and subject to change, would a well-taught noble disciple consider them to be 'I,' 'mine,' or 'my self?' He replied, 'No, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha told Radha, 'If a well-taught noble disciple truly observes these five aggregates of clinging as not 'I' or 'mine,' then they will not grasp at anything in the world. Not grasping, they are not attached. Not being attached, they realize Nirvana: 'Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being.' After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the bhikkhu Radha, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. (122) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at Mount Makula. Then, a bhikkhu named Radha, who was attending on the Buddha, said to him, 'Venerable Sir, what is meant by the term 'being'?' The Buddha told Radha, 'Attachment and clinging to form is called a being; attachment and clinging to feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness is called a being.' The Buddha told Radha, 'I say that the realm of form should be broken up and destroyed, and the realm of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness should be broken up and destroyed. When craving is eliminated, suffering is eliminated. When suffering is eliminated, I say that the end of suffering is reached. It is like when young boys and girls in a village play, piling up earth to make cities and houses, and they love and cling to them. As long as their love, desire, thoughts, and thirst are not eliminated, they constantly love and protect them, saying, 'This is my city, this is my house.' But when their love, desire, thoughts, and thirst for those piles of earth are eliminated, they will scatter them with their hands or kick them away. In the same way, Radha, when love for the breaking up and destruction of form is eliminated, suffering is eliminated because love is eliminated, and when suffering is eliminated, I say that the end of suffering is reached.' After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the bhikkhu Radha, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. (123) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at Mount Makula.


時,有侍者比丘名曰羅陀,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「善哉!世尊!為我略說法要,我聞法已,我當獨一靜處,專心思惟,不放逸住:『所以族姓子剃除鬚髮,身著染衣,正信非家,出家學道,增加精進,修諸梵行,見法自知作證:「我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。」』」

爾時,世尊告羅陀曰:「善哉!羅陀!能于佛前問如是義。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。羅陀!當知有身、有身集、有身滅、有身滅道跡。何等為有身?謂五受陰——色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。云何有身集?謂當來有愛,貪、喜俱,于彼彼愛樂,是名有身集。云何有身滅?謂當有愛,喜、貪俱,彼彼愛樂無餘斷、舍、吐、盡、離欲、寂、沒,是名有身盡。云何有身滅道跡?謂八正道——正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,是名有身滅道跡。有身當知,有身集當斷,有身滅當證,有身滅道跡當修。羅陀!若多聞聖弟子于有身若知、若斷,有身集若知、若斷,有身滅若知、若證,有身滅道跡若知、若修已,羅陀!名斷愛、離愛、轉結,止慢無間等,究竟苦邊。」

羅陀比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。從坐起,作禮而去。世尊如是教授已,羅陀比丘獨一靜處,專精思惟。所以善男子剃除鬚髮,著染色衣,正信非家,出家學道,增益精進,修諸梵行,見法自知作證:「我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。」成阿羅漢,心善解脫。

佛說此經已,羅陀比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位名叫羅陀的侍者比丘,來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊,太好了!請您為我簡略地講說佛法的要義,我聽聞佛法后,將獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心思考,不懈怠地修行,以達到這樣的境界:『我作為族姓子弟,剃除鬚髮,身穿染色的袈裟,以堅定的信仰離開家庭,出家修道,更加精進,修習各種清凈的行為,親身證悟佛法,並確信:『我的生死輪迴已經結束,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,我確知自己不會再有來世。』 這時,世尊告訴羅陀說:『很好,羅陀!你能在佛前詢問這樣的道理。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。羅陀!你要知道有身、有身集、有身滅、有身滅之道。什麼是有身呢?就是五種受陰——色受陰、受、想、行、識受陰。什麼是有身集呢?就是未來的愛慾,伴隨著貪婪和喜悅,對各種事物產生愛戀,這就是有身集。什麼是有身滅呢?就是未來的愛慾,伴隨著喜悅和貪婪,對各種事物的愛戀完全斷除、捨棄、吐出、滅盡、離欲、寂靜、消沒,這就是有身滅。什麼是有身滅之道呢?就是八正道——正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,這就是有身滅之道。有身應當瞭解,有身集應當斷除,有身滅應當證悟,有身滅之道應當修習。羅陀!如果多聞的聖弟子對於有身能夠了解、能夠斷除,對於有身集能夠了解、能夠斷除,對於有身滅能夠了解、能夠證悟,對於有身滅之道能夠了解、能夠修習,羅陀!這就叫做斷除了愛慾,脫離了愛慾,轉變了束縛,止息了傲慢,達到了究竟的苦的盡頭。』 羅陀比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,歡喜地接受並實行。他從座位上起身,向佛陀頂禮后離去。世尊這樣教導之後,羅陀比丘獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考。他達到了善男子剃除鬚髮,身穿染色袈裟,以堅定的信仰離開家庭,出家修道,更加精進,修習各種清凈的行為,親身證悟佛法,並確信:『我的生死輪迴已經結束,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,我確知自己不會再有來世。』的境界,最終成為阿羅漢,心得到徹底的解脫。 佛陀說完這部經后,羅陀比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,歡喜地接受並實行。

English version: At that time, there was an attendant monk named Radha, who went to the Buddha's place, bowed his head to the ground at the Buddha's feet, and then sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Excellent, World Honored One! Please briefly explain the essence of the Dharma for me. After hearing the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, focusing my mind and practicing diligently, without negligence, so that I may achieve the state where, as a son of a good family, I have shaved my head and beard, donned the dyed robes, left my home with firm faith, and entered the monastic life to cultivate the Way, increasing my diligence, practicing all pure conduct, personally realizing the Dharma, and confirming: 『My cycle of birth and death is finished, my pure practice is completed, what needed to be done is done, and I know that I will not have another life.』' Then, the World Honored One said to Radha, 'Excellent, Radha! You are able to ask about such a meaning before the Buddha. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. Radha! You should know that there is a body, the arising of the body, the cessation of the body, and the path leading to the cessation of the body. What is the body? It is the five aggregates of clinging—the aggregate of form, the aggregate of feeling, the aggregate of perception, the aggregate of mental formations, and the aggregate of consciousness. What is the arising of the body? It is future craving, accompanied by greed and joy, the love and attachment to various things; this is the arising of the body. What is the cessation of the body? It is the future craving, accompanied by joy and greed, the love and attachment to various things being completely cut off, abandoned, relinquished, extinguished, detached, pacified, and ceased; this is the cessation of the body. What is the path leading to the cessation of the body? It is the Noble Eightfold Path—right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration; this is the path leading to the cessation of the body. The body should be understood, the arising of the body should be abandoned, the cessation of the body should be realized, and the path leading to the cessation of the body should be cultivated. Radha! If a well-learned noble disciple understands and abandons the body, understands and abandons the arising of the body, understands and realizes the cessation of the body, and understands and cultivates the path leading to the cessation of the body, Radha! This is called the cutting off of craving, the detachment from craving, the transformation of fetters, the cessation of pride, and the attainment of the ultimate end of suffering.』 Monk Radha, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them. He rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, and departed. After the World Honored One had taught in this way, Monk Radha dwelt alone in a quiet place, focusing his mind and practicing diligently. He achieved the state where, as a son of a good family, he had shaved his head and beard, donned the dyed robes, left his home with firm faith, and entered the monastic life to cultivate the Way, increasing his diligence, practicing all pure conduct, personally realizing the Dharma, and confirming: 『My cycle of birth and death is finished, my pure practice is completed, what needed to be done is done, and I know that I will not have another life.』 He finally became an Arhat, his mind completely liberated. After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, Monk Radha, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them.


(一二四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住摩拘羅山。時,有侍者比丘名曰羅陀。

爾時,世尊告羅陀比丘言:「諸比丘!有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切當觀皆是魔。受、想、行、識,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切當觀皆是魔。羅陀!于意云何?色為常耶?為無常耶?」

答曰:「無常。世尊!」

「若無常者,是苦耶?」

答曰:「是苦。世尊!

「若無常、苦者,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于中見我不?」

答曰:「不也,世尊!」

「受、想、行、識亦復如是。是故,羅陀!多聞聖弟子於色生厭,于受、想、行、識生厭,厭故不樂,不樂故解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,羅陀比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二五)

如是我聞:

爾時,世尊告羅陀比丘言:「諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切皆是魔所作。受、想、行、識亦復如是。」

佛告羅陀:「于意云何?色是常耶?為非常耶?」

答曰:「無常。世尊!」

復問:「若無常者,是苦耶?」

答曰:「是苦

現代漢語譯本 (一二四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在摩拘羅山。當時,有一位名叫羅陀的侍者比丘。 那時,世尊告訴羅陀比丘說:『諸位比丘!所有色,無論是過去的、未來的、現在的,內在的、外在的,粗糙的、細微的,美好的、醜陋的,遙遠的、近處的,都應當觀察它們都是魔。受、想、行、識,無論是過去的、未來的、現在的,內在的、外在的,粗糙的、細微的,美好的、醜陋的,遙遠的、近處的,都應當觀察它們都是魔。羅陀!你認為如何?色是常住的嗎?還是無常的呢?』 羅陀回答說:『是無常的,世尊!』 『如果無常,那是苦嗎?』 羅陀回答說:『是苦,世尊!』 『如果無常、是苦,是變易之法,多聞的聖弟子會從中見到『我』嗎?』 羅陀回答說:『不會的,世尊!』 『受、想、行、識也是如此。因此,羅陀!多聞的聖弟子會對色生起厭惡,對受、想、行、識生起厭惡,因為厭惡而不貪戀,因為不貪戀而解脫,解脫後生起知見:『我的生死已盡,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有後世的生命。』 佛陀說完這部經,羅陀比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一二五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在摩拘羅山。當時,有一位名叫羅陀的侍者比丘。 那時,世尊告訴羅陀比丘說:『所有色,無論是過去的、未來的、現在的,內在的、外在的,粗糙的、細微的,美好的、醜陋的,遙遠的、近處的,它們都是魔所造作的。受、想、行、識也是如此。』 佛陀告訴羅陀:『你認為如何?色是常住的嗎?還是非常住的呢?』 羅陀回答說:『是無常的,世尊!』 佛陀又問:『如果無常,那是苦嗎?』 羅陀回答說:『是苦』

English version (124) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Makula. At that time, there was a attendant bhikkhu named Radha. Then, the Blessed One said to the bhikkhu Radha: 'Bhikkhus! All form, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, beautiful or ugly, far or near, all of it should be regarded as Mara. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, beautiful or ugly, far or near, all of it should be regarded as Mara. Radha! What do you think? Is form permanent or impermanent?' Radha replied: 'Impermanent, Blessed One!' 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' Radha replied: 'It is suffering, Blessed One!' 'If it is impermanent and suffering, subject to change, would a well-taught noble disciple see 'I' in it?' Radha replied: 'No, Blessed One!' 'Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also the same. Therefore, Radha! A well-taught noble disciple becomes disenchanted with form, becomes disenchanted with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Being disenchanted, he is not attached. Being not attached, he is liberated. In liberation, there is the knowledge: 『Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more future existence.』' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Radha, delighted by the Blessed One's words, practiced accordingly. (125) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Makula. At that time, there was a attendant bhikkhu named Radha. Then, the Blessed One said to the bhikkhu Radha: 'All form, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, beautiful or ugly, far or near, all of it is made by Mara. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also the same.' The Buddha said to Radha: 'What do you think? Is form permanent or impermanent?' Radha replied: 'Impermanent, Blessed One!' He asked again: 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' Radha replied: 'It is suffering.'


。世尊!」

復問:「受、想、行、識為是常耶?為無常耶?」

答曰:「無常。世尊!」

復問:「若無常者,是苦耶?」

答曰:「是苦。世尊!」

佛告羅陀:「若無常、苦者,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于中見我、異我、相在不?」

答曰:「不也,世尊!」

「是故,羅陀!多聞聖弟子於色生厭,厭故不樂,不樂故解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,羅陀比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

第三經亦如是。所異者,佛告羅陀:「多聞聖弟子於此五受陰,陰陰觀察非我、非我所。觀察已,于諸世間都無所取,不取故不著,不著故自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,羅陀比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住摩拘羅山。時,有侍者比丘名曰羅陀。

爾時,世尊告羅陀言:「諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,當觀彼一切皆是死法。受、想、行、識亦復如是。」

余如前說。

(一二七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住摩拘羅山。時,有侍者比丘名曰羅陀。

爾時,世尊告羅陀言:「諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切當觀皆是斷法。受、想、行、識亦復如是

「世尊!」 又問:『受、想、行、識是常住不變的嗎?還是無常變化的呢?』 回答說:『是無常的,世尊!』 又問:『如果無常,那麼是苦嗎?』 回答說:『是苦,世尊!』 佛告訴羅陀:『如果無常、是苦,是變易之法,那麼有智慧的聖弟子會認為其中有我、異於我、或與我相關聯嗎?』 回答說:『不會的,世尊!』 『因此,羅陀!有智慧的聖弟子會對色產生厭惡,因為厭惡而不喜歡,因為不喜歡而解脫,解脫后就會知道:『我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』 佛說完這部經,羅陀比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 第三部經也是這樣。不同的是,佛告訴羅陀:『有智慧的聖弟子對於這五種受陰,一一觀察它們不是我,也不是我所擁有的。觀察之後,對於世間的一切都不再執取,不執取所以不執著,不執著所以自己覺悟涅槃:『我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』 佛說完這部經,羅陀比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一二六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在摩拘羅山。當時,有一位侍者比丘名叫羅陀。 那時,世尊告訴羅陀說:『所有一切色,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是美好、醜陋,無論是遙遠、臨近,都應當觀察它們都是會消亡的。受、想、行、識也是如此。』 其餘的如前面所說。 (一二七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在摩拘羅山。當時,有一位侍者比丘名叫羅陀。 那時,世尊告訴羅陀說:『所有一切色,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是美好、醜陋,無論是遙遠、臨近,都應當觀察它們都是會斷滅的。受、想、行、識也是如此。』

'Venerable Sir!' He further asked: 'Are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness permanent or impermanent?' He replied: 'Impermanent, Venerable Sir!' He further asked: 'If they are impermanent, are they suffering?' He replied: 'They are suffering, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to Radha: 'If they are impermanent and suffering, and subject to change, would a well-taught noble disciple see in them 'I', 'mine', or 'self'?' He replied: 'No, Venerable Sir!' 'Therefore, Radha! A well-taught noble disciple becomes disenchanted with form, because of disenchantment he does not delight in it, because of not delighting he is liberated, and upon liberation he knows: 'Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Radha was delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings. The third discourse is similar. The difference is that the Buddha said to Radha: 'A well-taught noble disciple, observing each of these five aggregates of clinging, sees them as not 'I' and not 'mine'. Having observed this, he does not grasp at anything in the world, not grasping he is not attached, not attached he realizes Nirvana: 'Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Radha was delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings. (126) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Makula. At that time, there was a bhikkhu attendant named Radha. Then, the World-Honored One said to Radha: 'All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, should be seen as subject to death. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also the same.' The rest is as previously stated. (127) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Makula. At that time, there was a bhikkhu attendant named Radha. Then, the World-Honored One said to Radha: 'All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, should be seen as subject to cessation. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also the same.'


。多聞聖弟子如是觀者,於色生厭,于受、想、行、識生厭,厭故不樂,不樂故解脫,解脫知見,自知:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,羅陀比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我觀察斷法,如是——觀察滅法,觀察棄捨法,觀察無常法,觀察苦法,觀察空法,觀察非我法,觀察無常、苦、空、非我法,觀察病法,觀察癰法,觀察刺法,觀察殺法,觀察殺根本法,觀察病、癰、刺、殺、殺根本法。——如是諸經,皆如上說。

(一二八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住摩拘羅山。時,有侍者比丘名曰羅陀。

爾時,世尊告羅陀言:「諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切當觀皆是斷法。觀察已,於色欲貪斷,色貪斷已,我說心善解脫。受、想、行、識亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,羅陀比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是比十四經,亦如上說。

(一二九)

如是我聞:

佛說此經已,羅陀比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一三〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:

『多聞的聖弟子這樣觀察,對於色產生厭惡,對於受、想、行、識也產生厭惡。因為厭惡而不喜歡,因為不喜歡而解脫。解脫后產生知見,自己知道:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』

佛陀說完這部經后,羅陀比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

像這樣觀察斷滅之法,像這樣——觀察滅盡之法,觀察捨棄之法,觀察無常之法,觀察苦之法,觀察空之法,觀察非我之法,觀察無常、苦、空、非我之法,觀察病之法,觀察癰之法,觀察刺之法,觀察殺之法,觀察殺之根本之法,觀察病、癰、刺、殺、殺之根本之法。——像這樣的諸經,都如上面所說。

(一二八)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在摩拘羅山。當時,有一位侍者比丘名叫羅陀。

那時,世尊告訴羅陀說:『所有一切色,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是美好、醜陋,無論是遙遠、臨近,它們都應當被觀察為斷滅之法。觀察之後,對於**貪慾斷除,色貪斷除之後,我說心得到善解脫。受、想、行、識也是如此。』

佛陀說完這部經后,羅陀比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

像這樣的十四部經,也如上面所說。

English version:

'A well-instructed noble disciple, observing in this way, becomes disgusted with form, disgusted with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Being disgusted, they do not delight in them. Not delighting, they are liberated. In liberation, there is the knowledge of liberation, and they know: 『Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being.』

Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Rādhā was delighted and rejoiced in the Blessed One』s words.

Thus I observe the law of cessation, thus—observe the law of extinction, observe the law of relinquishment, observe the law of impermanence, observe the law of suffering, observe the law of emptiness, observe the law of non-self, observe the law of impermanence, suffering, emptiness, and non-self, observe the law of disease, observe the law of a boil, observe the law of a thorn, observe the law of killing, observe the law of the root of killing, observe the law of disease, boil, thorn, killing, and the root of killing. —All these discourses are as described above.

(128)

Thus have I heard:

At one time the Buddha was staying at Mount Makula. At that time, there was a bhikkhu attendant named Rādhā.

Then the Blessed One said to Rādhā: 『All form, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of it should be regarded as the law of cessation. Having observed this, when **greed is abandoned, and when greed for form is abandoned, I say that the mind is well liberated. So too with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.』

Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Rādhā was delighted and rejoiced in the Blessed One』s words.

These fourteen discourses are also as described above.

(129)

Thus have I heard:

At one time the Buddha was staying at Mount Makula. At that time, there was a bhikkhu attendant named Rādhā.

Then the Blessed One said to Rādhā: 『All form, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of it should be regarded as the law of cessation. Having observed the law of cessation, when **greed is abandoned, I say that the mind is well liberated. So too with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.』

Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Rādhā was delighted and rejoiced in the Blessed One』s words.

(130)

Thus have I heard:

At one time the Buddha was staying at the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika』s monastery, in Sāvatthī.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「欲斷五受陰者,當求大師。何等為五?謂色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰,欲斷此五受陰,當求大師。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如當斷,如是當知、當吐、當息、當舍,亦復如是。如求大師,如是勝師者、順次師者、教誡者、勝教誡者、順次教誡者、通者、廣通者、圓通者、導者、廣導者、究竟導者、說者、廣說者、順次說者、正者、伴者、真知識者、親者、愍者、悲者、崇義者、安慰者、崇樂者、崇觸者、崇安慰者、欲者、精進者、方便者、勤者、勇猛者、固者、強者、堪能者、專者、心不退者、堅執持者、常習者、不放逸者、和合者、思量者、憶念者、覺者、知者、明者、慧者、受者、思惟者、梵行者、念處者、正勤者、如意足者、根者、力者、覺分者、道分者、止者、觀者、念身者、正憶念者,亦復如是。

(一三一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若沙門、婆羅門習於色者,隨魔自在,入于魔手,隨魔所欲,為魔所縛,不脫魔系。受、想、行、識亦復如是。若沙門、婆羅門不習色。如是沙門、婆羅門不隨魔自在,不入魔手,不隨魔所欲,解脫魔縛,解脫魔系。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是,習近者、習著者、味者、決定著者、止者、使者、往者、撰擇者、不捨者、不吐者,如是等沙門、婆羅門隨魔自在,如上說

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『想要斷除五種受陰,應當尋求大師。哪五種呢?就是色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。想要斷除這五種受陰,應當尋求大師。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 如同應當斷除一樣,也應當知曉、應當吐出、應當止息、應當捨棄,也是如此。如同尋求大師一樣,像勝過大師的人、依次跟隨大師的人、教誡者、勝過教誡者的人、依次跟隨教誡者的人、通達者、廣博通達者、圓滿通達者、引導者、廣博引導者、究竟引導者、宣說者、廣博宣說者、依次宣說者、正直者、同伴者、真正的知識者、親近者、憐憫者、慈悲者、崇尚正義者、安慰者、崇尚快樂者、崇尚接觸者、崇尚安慰者、有慾望者、精進者、方便者、勤奮者、勇猛者、堅定者、強者、堪能者、專一者、心不退縮者、堅固執持者、常常修習者、不放逸者、和合者、思量者、憶念者、覺悟者、知曉者、明瞭者、有智慧者、領受者、思惟者、修行梵行者、安住于念處者、精進修行者、如意足者、根基者、力量者、覺悟的組成部分者、道路的組成部分者、止息者、觀照者、念身者、正確憶念者,也是如此。

(一三一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果沙門、婆羅門執著於色,就會隨魔自在,進入魔的手中,隨魔的意願,被魔束縛,不能脫離魔的控制。受、想、行、識也是如此。如果沙門、婆羅門不執著於色,那麼這些沙門、婆羅門就不會隨魔自在,不會進入魔的手中,不會隨魔的意願,會解脫魔的束縛,解脫魔的控制。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 像這樣,習近者、習著者、貪味者、決定著者、止息者、使役者、前往者、選擇者、不捨棄者、不吐出者,像這樣的沙門、婆羅門都會隨魔自在,如上面所說。

English version: At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Those who wish to cut off the five aggregates of clinging should seek a master. What are the five? They are the aggregate of clinging to form, and the aggregates of clinging to feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Those who wish to cut off these five aggregates of clinging should seek a master.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. Just as one should cut off, so too should one know, should one spit out, should one cease, should one relinquish. It is also like this. Just as one seeks a master, so too are those who are superior to a master, those who follow a master in order, those who give instruction, those who are superior to those who give instruction, those who follow instruction in order, those who are thorough, those who are widely thorough, those who are completely thorough, those who guide, those who widely guide, those who ultimately guide, those who speak, those who widely speak, those who speak in order, those who are upright, those who are companions, those who are true knowers, those who are close, those who are compassionate, those who are merciful, those who uphold righteousness, those who comfort, those who uphold joy, those who uphold contact, those who uphold comfort, those who have desire, those who are diligent, those who are skillful, those who are assiduous, those who are courageous, those who are firm, those who are strong, those who are capable, those who are focused, those whose minds do not retreat, those who firmly hold on, those who constantly practice, those who are not negligent, those who are harmonious, those who contemplate, those who remember, those who are awakened, those who know, those who are clear, those who are wise, those who receive, those who reflect, those who practice the holy life, those who abide in the foundations of mindfulness, those who practice right effort, those who have the bases of power, those who have the roots, those who have the powers, those who have the factors of enlightenment, those who have the factors of the path, those who are tranquil, those who observe, those who are mindful of the body, those who have right mindfulness, it is also like this.

(131) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If a samana or brahmana is attached to form, they are under the control of Mara, enter into Mara's hand, follow Mara's wishes, are bound by Mara, and cannot escape Mara's bondage. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. If a samana or brahmana is not attached to form, then these samanas or brahmanas are not under the control of Mara, do not enter into Mara's hand, do not follow Mara's wishes, are liberated from Mara's bondage, and are liberated from Mara's control.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. In this way, those who are close, those who are attached, those who savor, those who are decisively attached, those who cease, those who are employed, those who go, those who choose, those who do not relinquish, those who do not spit out, such samanas and brahmanas are under the control of Mara, as described above.


(一三二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若沙門、婆羅門於色不習近者,不隨魔自在,不入魔手,不隨魔所欲,非魔縛所縛,解脫魔系;不習受、想、行、識亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

乃至吐色亦復如是。

(一三三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「何所有故,何所起?何所繫著,何所見我?令眾生無明所蓋,愛系其首,長道驅馳,生死輪迴,生死流轉,不去本際?」

諸比丘白佛言:「世尊是法根、法眼、法依。善哉!世尊!唯愿哀愍,廣說其義,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。諸比丘!色有故,色事起,色系著,色見我,令眾生無明所蓋,愛系其首,長道驅馳,生死輪迴,生死流轉。受、想、行、識亦復如是。諸比丘!色為常耶?為非常耶?」

答曰:「無常。世尊!」

復問:「若無常者,是苦耶?」

答曰:「是苦。世尊!」

「如是,比丘!若無常者是苦,是苦有故,是事起、繫著、見我,令眾生無明所蓋,愛系其頭,長道驅馳,生死輪迴,生死流轉。受、想、行、識亦復如是。是故,諸比丘!諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外、若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、非異我、不相在,是名正慧。受、想、行、識亦復如是

現代漢語譯本 (一三二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果沙門、婆羅門對於色不親近,就不會被魔所控制,不會落入魔的手中,不會順從魔的意願,不會被魔的束縛所捆綁,就能解脫魔的束縛;對於受、想、行、識也是如此。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 乃至捨棄色也是如此。 (一三三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『因為什麼存在,什麼生起?什麼被繫縛,什麼被視為我?使得眾生被無明所覆蓋,被愛慾束縛,在漫長的道路上奔波,在生死中輪迴,在生死中流轉,無法脫離根本的邊際?』 眾比丘對佛陀說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠。太好了!世尊!希望您能慈悲,詳細地解說其中的含義,眾比丘聽了之後,一定會接受並奉行。』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。諸位比丘!因為色存在,所以色事生起,被色所繫縛,把色看作是我,使得眾生被無明所覆蓋,被愛慾束縛,在漫長的道路上奔波,在生死中輪迴,在生死中流轉。受、想、行、識也是如此。諸位比丘!色是常住的嗎?還是無常的呢?』 回答說:『是無常的,世尊!』 又問:『如果無常,是苦嗎?』 回答說:『是苦,世尊!』 『是的,比丘們!如果無常是苦,因為有苦,所以有事生起、被繫縛、被視為我,使得眾生被無明所覆蓋,被愛慾束縛,在漫長的道路上奔波,在生死中輪迴,在生死中流轉。受、想、行、識也是如此。因此,諸位比丘!所有一切色,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是好、丑,無論是遠、近,它們都不是我,不是與我不同的東西,不是存在於我之中的東西,這叫做正慧。受、想、行、識也是如此。』

English version (132) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks: 'If a sramana or brahmin does not draw near to form, they will not be under the control of Mara, will not fall into Mara's hands, will not follow Mara's desires, will not be bound by Mara's fetters, and will be liberated from Mara's bonds; the same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. Even abandoning form is the same. (133) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks: 'Because of what does something exist, what arises? What is bound, what is seen as 'I'? What causes beings to be covered by ignorance, bound by craving, to rush along the long path, to revolve in birth and death, to transmigrate in birth and death, unable to escape the fundamental boundary?' The monks said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma. Excellent! World-Honored One! We beseech you to have compassion and explain the meaning in detail, so that the monks, having heard it, will accept and practice it.' The Buddha told the monks: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. Monks! Because form exists, the matter of form arises, one is bound by form, form is seen as 'I', causing beings to be covered by ignorance, bound by craving, to rush along the long path, to revolve in birth and death, to transmigrate in birth and death. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Monks! Is form permanent or impermanent?' They replied: 'Impermanent, World-Honored One!' He asked again: 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' They replied: 'It is suffering, World-Honored One!' 'Yes, monks! If impermanence is suffering, because there is suffering, there is the arising of matters, being bound, being seen as 'I', causing beings to be covered by ignorance, bound by craving, to rush along the long path, to revolve in birth and death, to transmigrate in birth and death. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Therefore, monks! All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether far or near, all of them are not 'I', not different from 'I', not existing within 'I', this is called right wisdom. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.'


「如是見、聞、覺、識,求得隨憶、隨覺、隨觀,彼一切非我、非異我、不相在,是名正慧。

「若有見言有我、有世間、有此世、常、恒、不變易法,彼一切非我、非異我、不相在,是名正慧。

「若復有見非此我、非此我所、非當來我、非當來我所,彼一切非我、非異我、不相在,是名正慧。

「若多聞聖弟子於此六見處觀察非我、非我所,如是觀者,于佛所狐疑斷,於法、于僧狐疑斷。是名,比丘!多聞聖弟子不復堪任作身、口、意業,趣三惡道;正使放逸,聖弟子決定向三菩提,七有天人往來,作苦邊。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

現代漢語譯本 『如果這樣看待、聽聞、感覺、認知,尋求隨念、隨覺、隨觀,那麼這一切都不是我,不是與我不同的,不依存於我,這稱為正慧。』 『如果有人認為有我、有世界、有此世、有常恒不變的法,那麼這一切都不是我,不是與我不同的,不依存於我,這稱為正慧。』 『如果又有人認為不是這個我,不是這個我所擁有的,不是未來的我,不是未來我所擁有的,那麼這一切都不是我,不是與我不同的,不依存於我,這稱為正慧。』 『如果多聞的聖弟子在這六種見解處觀察非我、非我所,這樣觀察的人,對於佛的疑惑斷除,對於法、對於僧的疑惑斷除。這稱為,比丘!多聞的聖弟子不再會造作身、口、意業,趨向三惡道;即使放逸,聖弟子也必定趨向三菩提,在七次天人往來后,結束苦難。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (一三四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上所說。不同之處在於:『多聞的聖弟子在這六種見解處觀察非我、非我所。這樣觀察的人,對於苦的疑惑斷除,對於集、滅、道的疑惑斷除。這稱為,比丘!多聞的聖弟子不再會造作身、口、意業,趨向三惡道……』如此廣說,乃至『結束苦難』。 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (一三五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘……。廣說如上。不同之處在於:『如果多聞的聖弟子在這六種見解處觀察非我、非我所。這樣觀察的人,對於佛的疑惑斷除,對於法、僧、苦、集、滅、道的疑惑斷除……』如此廣說,乃至『結束苦難。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (一三六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

English version 'If one sees, hears, feels, and cognizes in this way, seeking to remember, perceive, and contemplate accordingly, then all of that is not-self, not different from self, and not located within self. This is called right wisdom.' 'If someone holds the view that there is a self, a world, this world, and a permanent, unchanging law, then all of that is not-self, not different from self, and not located within self. This is called right wisdom.' 'If someone further holds the view that it is not this self, not what belongs to this self, not a future self, and not what belongs to a future self, then all of that is not-self, not different from self, and not located within self. This is called right wisdom.' 'If a well-learned noble disciple observes not-self and not-what-belongs-to-self in these six places of view, then by observing in this way, doubt about the Buddha is eliminated, and doubt about the Dharma and the Sangha is eliminated. This is called, monks! A well-learned noble disciple is no longer capable of performing actions of body, speech, and mind that lead to the three evil destinies; even if negligent, the noble disciple is certainly headed towards the three Bodhis, and after seven comings and goings among gods and humans, will end suffering.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. (134) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks... as said above. The difference is: 'A well-learned noble disciple observes not-self and not-what-belongs-to-self in these six places of view.

A well-learned noble disciple is no longer capable of performing actions of body, speech, and mind that lead to the three evil destinies...' Thus it is extensively explained, up to 'end suffering.'

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「於何所是事有故,何所起,何所繫著,何所見我?諸比丘!令彼眾生無明所蓋,愛系其首,長道驅馳,生死輪迴,生死流轉,不知本際?」

諸比丘白佛:「世尊是法根、法眼、法依。善哉!世尊!唯愿哀愍,廣說其義,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告諸比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。諸比丘!色有故,是色事起,於色繫著,於色見我,令眾生無明所蓋,愛系其首,長道驅馳,生死輪迴,生死流轉。受、想、行、識亦復如是。諸比丘!色是常耶?為非常耶?」

答曰:「無常。世尊!」

復問:「若無常者,是苦耶?」

答曰:「是苦。世尊!」

「如是,比丘!若無常者是苦,是苦有故,是事起、繫著、見我,令彼眾生無明所蓋,愛系其首,長道驅馳,生死輪迴,生死流轉。受、想、行、識亦復如是。

現代漢語譯本: 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『在什麼事物存在的情況下,什麼事物會生起,什麼事物會被執著,什麼事物會被視為『我』?諸位比丘!是什麼讓那些眾生被無明所覆蓋,被愛慾束縛,在漫長的道路上奔波,在生死中輪迴,在生死中流轉,而不知其根本的邊際?』 眾比丘對佛說:『世尊是法的根源、法的眼睛、法的依靠。太好了!世尊!請您慈悲,詳細解說其中的含義,眾比丘聽聞后,定當遵奉實行。』 佛告訴眾比丘:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。諸位比丘!因為色存在,所以色事生起,對色產生執著,把色視為『我』,從而使眾生被無明所覆蓋,被愛慾束縛,在漫長的道路上奔波,在生死中輪迴,在生死中流轉。受、想、行、識也是如此。諸位比丘!色是常住的嗎?還是無常的呢?』 回答說:『是無常的,世尊!』 又問:『如果無常,那是苦嗎?』 回答說:『是苦,世尊!』 『是的,比丘!如果無常是苦,因為有苦,所以此事生起、執著、視為『我』,從而使那些眾生被無明所覆蓋,被愛慾束縛,在漫長的道路上奔波,在生死中輪迴,在生死中流轉。受、想、行、識也是如此。 『因此,諸位比丘!所有色,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是美好、醜陋,無論是遙遠、臨近,它們都不是我,不是與我不同的東西,也不是存在於我之中的東西。這樣觀察,就稱為正慧。受、想、行、識也是如此。 『像這樣,對於所見、所聞、所覺、所識,通過尋求、回憶、覺察、觀察,它們都不是我,不是與我不同的東西,也不是存在於我之中的東西,這就稱為正慧。 『如果有人認為有我、有此世、有他世、有常住、有恒常、不變易,那麼所有這些都不是我,不是與我不同的東西,也不是存在於我之中的東西,這就稱為正慧。 『如果又有人認為非此我、非此我所、非未來我、非未來我所,那麼所有這些都不是我,不是與我不同的東西,也不是存在於我之中的東西,這就稱為正慧。』

English version: At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'What is it that, when it exists, causes things to arise, to be clung to, and to be seen as 'I'? Bhikkhus! What is it that causes beings to be covered by ignorance, bound by craving, to wander on the long path, to revolve in birth and death, to transmigrate in birth and death, without knowing the fundamental limit?' The bhikkhus said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma. Excellent! World-Honored One! We beseech you to have compassion and explain the meaning in detail. Having heard it, the bhikkhus will surely follow and practice it.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. Bhikkhus! Because form exists, the matter of form arises, there is attachment to form, and form is seen as 'I', thus causing beings to be covered by ignorance, bound by craving, to wander on the long path, to revolve in birth and death, to transmigrate in birth and death. Sensation, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this. Bhikkhus! Is form permanent or impermanent?' They replied: 'Impermanent, World-Honored One!' He asked again: 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' They replied: 'It is suffering, World-Honored One!' 'Yes, bhikkhus! If what is impermanent is suffering, because there is suffering, this matter arises, is clung to, and is seen as 'I', thus causing those beings to be covered by ignorance, bound by craving, to wander on the long path, to revolve in birth and death, to transmigrate in birth and death. Sensation, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this.' 'Therefore, bhikkhus! All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of them are not 'I', not different from 'I', and not existing within 'I'. Observing in this way is called right wisdom. Sensation, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this.' 'Likewise, regarding what is seen, heard, felt, and known, through seeking, remembering, perceiving, and observing, all of them are not 'I', not different from 'I', and not existing within 'I'. This is called right wisdom.' 'If someone believes there is an 'I', there is this world, there is another world, there is permanence, there is constancy, and there is immutability, then all of these are not 'I', not different from 'I', and not existing within 'I'. This is called right wisdom.' 'If someone believes that there is no 'I' here, no 'mine' here, no future 'I', and no future 'mine', then all of these are not 'I', not different from 'I', and not existing within 'I'. This is called right wisdom.'


「若多聞聖弟子於此六見處觀察非我、非我所,如是觀者,于佛狐疑斷,於法、僧狐疑斷。是名,比丘!不復堪任作身、口、意業,趣三惡道;正使放逸,諸聖弟子皆悉決定向於三菩提,七有天人往生,作苦後邊。」

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(一三九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「何所有故,何所起?何所繫,何所著?何所見我,若未起憂、悲、惱、苦令起,已起憂、悲、惱、苦重令增廣?」

諸比丘白佛言:「世尊是法根、法眼、法依,唯愿廣說,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告諸比丘:「色有故,色起,色系、著故,於色見我,未起憂、悲、惱、苦令起,已起憂、悲、惱、苦重令增廣。受、想、行、識亦復如是。諸比丘!于意云何?色為常耶?為非常耶?」

答曰:「無常。世尊!」

復問:「若無常者,是苦耶?」

答曰:「是苦。世尊!」

「如是,比丘!若無常者是苦,是苦有故,是事起、系、著、見我,若未起憂、悲、惱、苦令起,已起憂、悲、惱、苦重令增廣。受、想、行、識亦復如是

現代漢語譯本: 『如果多聞的聖弟子在這六種見解之處觀察到「非我」、「非我所」,這樣觀察的人,對於佛的疑惑就會斷除,對於法和僧的疑惑也會斷除。這被稱為,比丘們!不再可能造作身、口、意業,趨向三惡道;即使放逸,所有聖弟子都必定趨向三菩提,七次往生天人,最終結束痛苦。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (一三七) 第二部經也如此。不同之處在於,斷除了對苦、集、滅、道的疑惑。 (一三八) 第三部經也如此。不同之處在於,斷除了對佛、法、僧的疑惑,以及對苦、集、滅、道的疑惑。 《雜阿含經》卷第六 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第七 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (一三九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『因為什麼存在,什麼生起?什麼被繫縛,什麼被執著?什麼被視為我,如果未生起憂、悲、惱、苦,令其生起;如果已生起憂、悲、惱、苦,令其更加增長?』 眾比丘對佛陀說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠,唯愿您廣為解說,眾比丘聽聞后,當會受持奉行。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『因為色存在,色生起,因為色被繫縛、執著,所以於色見我,未生起憂、悲、惱、苦令其生起,已生起憂、悲、惱、苦令其更加增長。受、想、行、識也是如此。比丘們!你們認為如何?色是常住的嗎?還是無常的呢?』 回答說:『是無常的,世尊!』 又問:『如果無常,是苦嗎?』 回答說:『是苦,世尊!』 『如此,比丘們!如果無常是苦,因為苦的存在,所以此事生起、繫縛、執著、見我,如果未生起憂、悲、惱、苦令其生起,已生起憂、悲、惱、苦令其更加增長。受、想、行、識也是如此。』

English version: 'If a well-learned noble disciple observes in these six places of view that 'not-self' and 'not-belonging-to-self' exist, one who observes thus will have their doubts about the Buddha cut off, and their doubts about the Dharma and the Sangha cut off. This is called, monks! No longer being capable of performing actions of body, speech, and mind that lead to the three evil realms; even if they are negligent, all noble disciples are certainly headed towards the three Bodhis, and will be reborn as gods or humans seven times, ultimately ending suffering.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (137) The second sutra is also like this. The difference is that it cuts off doubts about suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path. (138) The third sutra is also like this. The difference is that it cuts off doubts about the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, as well as doubts about suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path. The Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 6 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 02, No. 0099, Samyukta Agama Sutra The Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 7 Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Guṇabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India (139) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One said to the monks: 'Because of what does what exist, what arise? What is bound, what is attached? What is seen as self, if unarisen sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering arise, and if arisen sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering increase?' The monks said to the Buddha: 'The World-Honored One is the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma. We beseech you to explain it in detail, and the monks, having heard it, will receive and practice it.' The Buddha said to the monks: 'Because form exists, form arises, because form is bound and attached, therefore one sees self in form, and unarisen sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering arise, and arisen sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering increase. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this. Monks! What do you think? Is form permanent or impermanent?' They replied: 'It is impermanent, World-Honored One!' He asked again: 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' They replied: 'It is suffering, World-Honored One!' 'Thus, monks! If what is impermanent is suffering, because suffering exists, this matter arises, is bound, is attached, is seen as self, and if unarisen sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering arise, and if arisen sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering increase. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this.'


「是故,諸比丘!諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、非異我、不相在,是名正慧。受、想、行、識亦復如是。

「若復見、聞、覺、識,起、求、憶、隨覺、隨觀,彼一切非我、非異我、不相在,是名正慧。

「若見有我、有世間、有此世、有他世,常、恒、不變易,彼一切非我、非異我、不相在,是名正慧。

「若復有見非此世我、非此世我所、非當來我、非當來我所,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在,是名正慧。

「若多聞聖弟子於此六見處觀察非我、非我所,如是觀者,于佛狐疑斷,於法、僧狐疑斷。是名,比丘!多聞聖弟子不復堪任作身、口、意業,趣三惡道;正使放逸,聖弟子決定向三菩提,七有天人往來,作苦邊。」

現代漢語譯本: 『因此,諸位比丘!所有色,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細微,無論是美好還是醜陋,無論是遙遠還是臨近,這一切都不是我,不是與我不同的東西,也不是存在於我之中的東西,這被稱為正慧。受、想、行、識也是如此。 『如果看到、聽到、感覺到、意識到,產生、尋求、回憶、隨覺、隨觀,這一切都不是我,不是與我不同的東西,也不是存在於我之中的東西,這被稱為正慧。 『如果認為有我、有世界、有此世、有他世,是常恒不變的,這一切都不是我,不是與我不同的東西,也不是存在於我之中的東西,這被稱為正慧。 『如果認為有非此世的我、非此世我所擁有的、非未來的我、非未來我所擁有的,這一切都不是我,不是與我不同的東西,也不是存在於我之中的東西,這被稱為正慧。 『如果多聞的聖弟子在這六種見解之處觀察到非我、非我所,這樣觀察的人,對於佛的疑惑就會斷除,對於法和僧的疑惑也會斷除。比丘們!這被稱為多聞的聖弟子不再會造作身、口、意業,趨向三惡道;即使放逸,聖弟子也必定會走向三菩提,在七次天人往來后,結束痛苦。』 佛陀說完此經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (一四〇、一四一) 下一部經也如此。不同之處在於,斷除了對苦、集、滅、道的疑惑。 下一部經也如此。不同之處在於,斷除了對佛、法、僧、苦、集、滅、道的疑惑。 (一四二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『因為什麼而有,因為什麼而生起?因為什麼而執著,因為什麼而見我?未生起我、我所、我慢的執著,使之生起;已生起我、我所、我慢的執著,使之更加增長?』 眾比丘回答佛陀:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠……』如此廣說,乃至……。 佛陀說完此經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (一四三、一四四) 第二、第三部經也和上面一樣。

English version: 'Therefore, bhikkhus! All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of them are not-self, not different from self, and not within self. This is called right wisdom. So too are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' 'If seeing, hearing, sensing, knowing, arising, seeking, remembering, being aware, and contemplating, all of them are not-self, not different from self, and not within self. This is called right wisdom.' 'If one sees a self, a world, this world, another world, as permanent, constant, and unchanging, all of them are not-self, not different from self, and not within self. This is called right wisdom.' 'If one sees a self that is not of this world, not belonging to this world, not a future self, not belonging to a future self, all of them are not-self, not different from self, and not within self. This is called right wisdom.' 'If a well-learned noble disciple observes in these six places of view that there is no self and no belonging to self, one who observes in this way will have their doubt about the Buddha cut off, and their doubt about the Dharma and the Sangha cut off. Bhikkhus! This is called a well-learned noble disciple who is no longer capable of performing actions of body, speech, and mind that lead to the three evil destinies; even if they are negligent, the noble disciple is certain to go towards the three Bodhis, and after seven times of coming and going among gods and humans, they will end suffering.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (140, 141) The next discourse is also the same. The difference is that doubt about suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path is cut off. The next discourse is also the same. The difference is that doubt about the Buddha, the Dharma, the Sangha, suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path is cut off. (142) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'What is it that, because of which, what arises? What is it that, because of which, one is attached? What is it that, because of which, one sees a self? The attachment to self, belonging to self, and self-conceit, which have not arisen, cause them to arise; the attachment to self, belonging to self, and self-conceit, which have already arisen, cause them to increase and grow?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, the Blessed One is the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma...' and so on, extensively. After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (143, 144) The second and third discourses are also the same as above.

If the defilements, hindrances, burning, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering have not arisen, what causes the defilements, hindrances, burning, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering that have already arisen to increase and become more extensive?' The monks said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, the Blessed One is the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma...'

Thus they spoke extensively, in the same order as the three previous sutras. Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, the Blessed One said to the monks, 'Because of what does it exist, from what does it arise? What is clung to, what is seen as 'I'?

Causing beings to have such a view, such a saying: 'There is no giving, no offering, no saying, no karmic result of good or bad destinies, no this world, no other world, no mother, no father, no beings, no world-honored Arhats who have truly arrived, truly attained, if in this world or the other world, they see the Dharma themselves, realize it and dwell in full attainment: 「Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, I know that there is no more future existence.」'?' The bhikkhus said to the Buddha: 'The Blessed One is the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma...' Thus, they spoke extensively, in the same order as the three previous sutras. (155) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

English version At that time, the World Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'Due to what does it exist, from what does it arise? To what is it attached, and what is it that sees me? That causes sentient beings to hold such a view, to say such things: 『Sentient beings live in this world, and after death they are annihilated, nothing remains. The four great elements combine to form a person, and when life ends, earth returns to earth, water returns to water, fire returns to fire, wind returns to wind, the senses follow emptiness, like the fifth person carrying a bed, four people carry the dead to the burial ground, and even before burning, it can be known that after burning, the bones are the color of a white dove. The arrogant know to give, the wise know to receive. If it is said that there is a next life, all of that is false and deceptive. Whether foolish or wise, after death there is no next life, all are annihilated, nothing remains.』?' The monks said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma...'

(一六五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『因為什麼存在,什麼生起?執著于什麼,又看到什麼是我?使得眾生產生這樣的見解,這樣說:『這個大梵天是自在的,創造了自然,是眾生的父親。』?』 眾比丘對佛說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠……』如此廣泛地闡述,次第如同前面三部經所說。

(一六六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『因為什麼存在,什麼生起?執著于什麼,又看到什麼是我?使得眾生產生這樣的見解,這樣說:『色是我,其餘都是虛名;無色是我,其餘都是虛名;色非色是我,其餘都是虛名;非色非無色是我,其餘都是虛名;我有邊,其餘都是虛名;我無邊,其餘都是虛名;我有邊無邊,其餘都是虛名;我非有邊非無邊,其餘都是虛名。一想、種種想、多想、無量想,我一向快樂、一向痛苦、若苦若樂、不苦不樂,其餘都是虛名。』?』 眾比丘對佛說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠……』如此廣泛地闡述,次第如同前面三部經所說。

English version: At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'Due to what existence, what arises? To what is one attached, and what is seen as 'I'? Causing sentient beings to hold such views and say: 'The wind does not blow, fire does not burn, water does not flow, arrows do not shoot, pregnancy does not produce, milk is not drawn, the rising and setting of the sun and moon, light and darkness are unknowable.'?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma...' Thus they elaborated extensively, in the same order as the previous three sutras.

(165) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'Due to what existence, what arises? To what is one attached, and what is seen as 'I'? Causing sentient beings to hold such views and say: 'This Great Brahma is self-existent, creates nature, and is the father of all beings.'?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma...' Thus they elaborated extensively, in the same order as the previous three sutras.

(166) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'Due to what existence, what arises? To what is one attached, and what is seen as 'I'? Causing sentient beings to hold such views and say: 'Form is 'I', the rest is just a name; formlessness is 'I', the rest is just a name; form and non-form is 'I', the rest is just a name; neither form nor formlessness is 'I', the rest is just a name; I have a boundary, the rest is just a name; I am boundless, the rest is just a name; I have a boundary and am boundless, the rest is just a name; I am neither bounded nor boundless, the rest is just a name. One thought, various thoughts, many thoughts, immeasurable thoughts, I am always happy, always suffering, sometimes suffering, sometimes happy, neither suffering nor happy, the rest is just a name.'?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma...' Thus they elaborated extensively, in the same order as the previous three sutras.

(167) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「何所有故,何所起?何所繫著,何所見我?令諸眾生作如是見、如是說:『色是我,余則妄想;非色、非非色是我,余則妄想;我有邊,余則妄想;我無邊,余則妄想;我非有邊非無邊,余則妄想。我一想、種種想、少想、無量想,我一向樂、一向苦,若苦、樂、不苦不樂。』?」

諸比丘白佛言:「世尊是法根、法眼、法依……」如是廣說,次第如上三經。

(一六八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「何所有故,何所起?何所繫著,何所見我?令諸眾生作如是見、如是說:『我世間常、世間無常、世間常無常、世間非常非無常;世有邊、世無邊、世有邊無邊、世非有邊非無邊;命即是身、命異身異;如來死後有、如來死後無、如來死後有無、如來死後非有非無。』?」

English version At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'What is it that exists, what arises? What is clung to, and what is seen as 'I'? That causes beings to hold such views and say: 'Form is 'I', the rest is delusion; neither form nor non-form is 'I', the rest is delusion; 'I' have a boundary, the rest is delusion; 'I' am boundless, the rest is delusion; 'I' am neither bounded nor boundless, the rest is delusion. 'I' have one thought, various thoughts, few thoughts, immeasurable thoughts; 'I' am solely happy, solely suffering, or neither suffering nor happy.'?' The monks said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma...' Thus they spoke extensively, in the same order as the previous three sutras.

現代漢語譯本 諸位比丘對佛說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠……』像這樣廣泛地闡述,次第如同前面三部經所說。 (一七〇) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『因為什麼存在,什麼生起?執著于什麼,又以什麼為我?使得眾生產生這樣的見解、這樣的說法:『如果沒有五欲的享樂,那就是見到法的涅槃;如果遠離惡不善法,有覺、有觀,由遠離而生喜樂,進入初禪,乃至第四禪,這是第一義的涅槃。』?』 諸位比丘對佛說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠……』像這樣廣泛地闡述,次第如同前面三部經所說。 (一七一) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『因為什麼存在,什麼生起?執著于什麼,又以什麼為我?使得眾生產生這樣的見解、這樣的說法:『如果粗大的四大色斷壞、不存在,這稱為我的真正斷滅;如果我的欲界斷壞、死後不存在,這稱為我的真正斷滅;如果我的**死後斷壞、不存在,這稱為我的真正斷滅;如果獲得空入處、識入處、無所有入處、非想非非想入處,我死後斷壞、不存在,這稱為我的真正斷滅。』?』 諸位比丘對佛說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠……』像這樣廣泛地闡述,次第如同前面三部經所說。 (一七二) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『如果法是無常的,就應當斷除,斷除那些法后,以義理饒益,長夜安樂。什麼法是無常的?色是無常的,受、想、行、識是無常的。』 佛說完這部經后,諸位比丘聽聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (一七三) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version The monks said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, the Blessed One is the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma...' Thus they spoke extensively, in the same order as the three previous sutras. (170) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, the Blessed One said to the monks, 'Because of what does it exist, from what does it arise? To what is it attached, and what is seen as 'I'? Causing beings to have such views and such sayings: 'If there is no enjoyment of the five desires, then that is seeing the Nirvana of the Dharma; if one is separated from evil and unwholesome states, with initial and sustained thought, born of detachment, joy and pleasure, entering the first jhana, up to the fourth jhana, this is the ultimate Nirvana.'?' The monks said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, the Blessed One is the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma...' Thus they spoke extensively, in the same order as the three previous sutras. (171) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, the Blessed One said to the monks, 'Because of what does it exist, from what does it arise? To what is it attached, and what is seen as 'I'? Causing beings to have such views and such sayings: 'If the gross four great elements of form are broken and cease to exist, that is called my true annihilation; if my desire realm is broken and ceases to exist after death, that is called my true annihilation; if my ** is broken and ceases to exist after death, that is called my true annihilation; if one attains the sphere of infinite space, the sphere of infinite consciousness, the sphere of nothingness, the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, and I am broken and cease to exist after death, that is called my true annihilation.'?' The monks said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, the Blessed One is the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma...' Thus they spoke extensively, in the same order as the three previous sutras. (172) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, the Blessed One said to the monks, 'If a dharma is impermanent, it should be abandoned. Having abandoned that dharma, it is beneficial in meaning, and brings long-lasting peace. What dharma is impermanent? Form is impermanent, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent.' Having spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (173) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若過去無常法當斷,斷彼法已,以義饒益,長夜安樂。云何過去無常法?過去色是無常法,過去欲是無常法,彼法當斷。斷彼法已,以義饒益,長夜安樂。受、想、行、識亦復如是。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「猶如有人火燒頭衣,當云何救?」

比丘白佛言:「世尊!當起增上欲,慇勤方便時救令滅

現代漢語譯本 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果過去的無常法應當斷除,斷除那些法后,就能獲得利益,長久安樂。什麼是過去的無常法呢?過去的色是無常法,過去的欲是無常法,這些法應當斷除。斷除這些法后,就能獲得利益,長久安樂。受、想、行、識也是如此。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 像這樣,未來、現在、過去現在、未來現在、過去未來、過去未來現在。 (一七四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『爲了斷除無常法,應當尋求大師。什麼是無常法呢?所謂色是無常法;爲了斷除這些法,應當尋求大師。受、想、行、識也是如此。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 像這樣,過去、未來、現在、過去未來現在,應當尋求大師,八種經都是這樣。種種教導隨順、安、廣安、周普安、引導、廣導、究竟導、說、廣說、隨順說、第二伴、真知識、同意、憐憫、悲憫、崇尚義理、崇尚安慰、快樂、崇尚接觸、崇尚安穩、慾望、精進、方便、廣方便、堪能方便、堅固、強健、勇猛身心、勇猛難伏、攝受常學、不放逸修、思惟、念、覺、知、明、慧、辯、思量、梵行、如意、念處、正勤、根、力、覺、道、止、觀、念身、正憶念一一八經,也像上面所說。如斷除的意義。像這樣,知道的意義、窮盡的意義、吐出的意義、停止的意義、捨棄的意義也是如此。 (一七五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『就像有人頭上的衣服被火燒著,應當如何救呢?』 比丘們對佛說:『世尊!應當發起強烈的慾望,勤奮方便地及時救滅。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If past impermanent dharmas should be abandoned, having abandoned those dharmas, one will benefit and have long-lasting peace. What are past impermanent dharmas? Past form is an impermanent dharma, past desire is an impermanent dharma, these dharmas should be abandoned. Having abandoned these dharmas, one will benefit and have long-lasting peace. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Like this, the future, the present, the past-present, the future-present, the past-future, the past-future-present. (One seventy-four) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'In order to abandon impermanent dharmas, one should seek a master. What are impermanent dharmas? So-called form is an impermanent dharma; in order to abandon these dharmas, one should seek a master. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Like this, the past, the future, the present, the past-future-present, one should seek a master, all eight kinds of sutras are like this. Various teachings such as following, peace, broad peace, universal peace, guidance, broad guidance, ultimate guidance, speaking, broad speaking, following speaking, a second companion, true knowledge, agreement, compassion, pity, honoring righteousness, honoring comfort, joy, honoring contact, honoring security, desire, diligence, skillful means, broad skillful means, capable skillful means, firmness, strength, courageous body and mind, courageous and difficult to subdue, receiving constant learning, non-negligent practice, contemplation, mindfulness, awareness, knowing, clarity, wisdom, eloquence, reflection, pure conduct, wish fulfillment, mindfulness foundations, right effort, faculties, powers, enlightenment factors, the path, cessation, insight, mindfulness of the body, right mindfulness, all one hundred and eight sutras, are also as described above. Like the meaning of abandoning. Like this, the meaning of knowing, the meaning of exhausting, the meaning of expelling, the meaning of stopping, the meaning of relinquishing are also like this. (One seventy-five) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'It is like someone whose head clothing is on fire, how should it be extinguished?' The bhikkhus said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! One should arouse strong desire, diligently and skillfully extinguish it in time.'


。」

佛告比丘:「頭衣燒然尚可暫忘,無常盛火應盡除斷滅;為斷無常火故,勤求大師。斷何等無常故勤求大師?謂斷色無常故勤求大師,斷受、想、行、識無常故勤求大師。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如斷無常,如是過去無常、未來無常、現在無常、過去未來無常、過去現在無常、未來現在無常、過去未來現在無常,如是八種救頭然譬經,如上廣說。如求大師,如是求種種教、隨順教,如上廣說。如斷義,如是知義、盡義、吐義、止義、舍義、滅義、沒義,亦復如是。

(一七六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「為斷無常故,當隨修內身身觀住。何等法無常?謂色無常,為斷彼故,當隨修內身身觀住。如是受、想、行、識無常,為斷彼故,當隨修內身身觀住。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如無常,如是過去色無常,未來色、現在色、過去未來色、過去現在色、未來現在色、過去未來現在色無常,斷彼故,當隨修身身觀住。受、想、行、識亦復如是。

如隨修內身身觀住八種,如是外身身觀、內外身身觀、內受受觀、外受受觀、內外受受觀、內心心觀、外心心觀、內外心心觀、內法法觀、外法法觀、內外法法觀住一一八經,亦如上說。

如斷無常義,修四念處;如是知義、盡義、吐義、止義、舍義、滅義、沒義故,隨修四念處,亦如上說

現代漢語譯本: 佛陀告訴比丘們:『即使是頭上著火,尚且可以暫時忘記,但無常的猛火應當徹底斷除。爲了斷除無常的火焰,應當勤求大師。斷除何種無常才需要勤求大師呢?就是爲了斷除色(物質)的無常才需要勤求大師,爲了斷除受(感受)、想(思維)、行(意志)、識(意識)的無常才需要勤求大師。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 如同斷除無常一樣,過去無常、未來無常、現在無常、過去未來無常、過去現在無常、未來現在無常、過去未來現在無常,這八種如同救頭燃眉的比喻的經文,都如上面所廣泛講述的那樣。如同尋求大師一樣,尋求種種教導、隨順教導,也如上面所廣泛講述的那樣。如同斷除的意義一樣,知道意義、窮盡意義、捨棄意義、停止意義、放下意義、滅除意義、消失意義,也都是如此。

(一七六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『爲了斷除無常,應當隨順修習內身身觀。什麼法是無常的呢?就是色(物質)是無常的,爲了斷除它,應當隨順修習內身身觀。同樣,受(感受)、想(思維)、行(意志)、識(意識)也是無常的,爲了斷除它們,應當隨順修習內身身觀。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 如同無常一樣,過去色無常,未來色、現在色、過去未來色、過去現在色、未來現在色、過去未來現在色無常,爲了斷除它們,應當隨順修習身身觀。受、想、行、識也是如此。 如同隨順修習內身身觀這八種,外身身觀、內外身身觀、內受受觀、外受受觀、內外受受觀、內心心觀、外心心觀、內外心心觀、內法法觀、外法法觀、內外法法觀這每一種的八種經文,也如上面所說的那樣。 如同斷除無常的意義,修習四念處;同樣,爲了知道意義、窮盡意義、捨棄意義、停止意義、放下意義、滅除意義、消失意義,隨順修習四念處,也如上面所說的那樣。

English version: The Buddha told the monks, 'Even if your head were on fire, you could temporarily forget it, but the raging fire of impermanence should be completely extinguished. To extinguish the fire of impermanence, one should diligently seek a master. What kind of impermanence requires diligently seeking a master to extinguish? It is to extinguish the impermanence of form (matter) that one needs to diligently seek a master, and to extinguish the impermanence of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness that one needs to diligently seek a master.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. Just as with extinguishing impermanence, so it is with past impermanence, future impermanence, present impermanence, past and future impermanence, past and present impermanence, future and present impermanence, and past, future, and present impermanence. These eight sutras, like the analogy of saving one's head from fire, are as extensively explained above. Just as with seeking a master, so it is with seeking various teachings and teachings that are in accordance with the Dharma, as extensively explained above. Just as with the meaning of extinguishing, so it is with knowing the meaning, exhausting the meaning, relinquishing the meaning, stopping the meaning, abandoning the meaning, destroying the meaning, and disappearing the meaning, all are the same.

(One Seventy-Six) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'To extinguish impermanence, one should practice mindfulness of the body within. What is impermanent? Form (matter) is impermanent. To extinguish it, one should practice mindfulness of the body within. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also impermanent. To extinguish them, one should practice mindfulness of the body within.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. Just as with impermanence, so it is with past form impermanence, future form, present form, past and future form, past and present form, future and present form, and past, future, and present form impermanence. To extinguish them, one should practice mindfulness of the body. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also the same. Just as with the eight types of practicing mindfulness of the body within, so it is with mindfulness of the body without, mindfulness of the body within and without, mindfulness of feeling within, mindfulness of feeling without, mindfulness of feeling within and without, mindfulness of mind within, mindfulness of mind without, mindfulness of mind within and without, mindfulness of dharma within, mindfulness of dharma without, and mindfulness of dharma within and without. Each of these eight sutras is as explained above. Just as with the meaning of extinguishing impermanence, one practices the four foundations of mindfulness; likewise, to know the meaning, exhaust the meaning, relinquish the meaning, stop the meaning, abandon the meaning, destroy the meaning, and disappear the meaning, one practices the four foundations of mindfulness, as explained above.

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「猶如有人火燒頭衣,當云何救?」

比丘白佛言:「世尊!當起增上欲,慇勤方便時救令滅。」

佛告比丘:「頭衣燒然尚可暫忘,無常盛火應盡斷,為斷無常火故,隨修內身身觀住。云何為斷無常火故,隨修內身身觀住?謂色無常,為斷彼故,隨修內身身觀住。受、想、行、識無常,為斷彼故,隨修內身身觀住……」廣說乃至……。

佛告比丘:「頭衣燒然尚可暫忘,無常盛火應盡斷。為斷無常火故,已生惡不善法當斷,起欲、精勤、攝心令增長

現代漢語譯本 (一七七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果有人頭上的衣服著火了,應當如何撲救?』 比丘們回答佛陀說:『世尊!應當生起強烈的意願,勤奮努力,及時撲滅。』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『頭上的衣服著火尚且可以暫時忘記,無常的猛火應當徹底斷除。爲了斷除無常的火,應當隨順修習內身身觀。如何爲了斷除無常的火,隨順修習內身身觀呢?就是說色是無常的,爲了斷除對色的執著,隨順修習內身身觀。受、想、行、識是無常的,爲了斷除對它們的執著,隨順修習內身身觀……』(此處省略詳細內容)。 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜奉行。 如同無常一樣,過去無常、未來無常、現在無常、過去未來無常、過去現在無常、未來現在無常、過去未來現在無常。如同內身身觀的八部經一樣,外身身觀的八部經、內外身身觀的八部經也如上面所說。 如同身念處的二十四部經一樣,受念處、心念處、法念處的二十四部經也如上面所說。 如同應當斷除無常的九十六部經一樣,應當知道、應當吐出、應當盡除、應當止息、應當捨棄、應當滅除、應當消沒的每一種都有九十六部經,也如上面所說。 (一七八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果有人頭上的衣服著火了,應當如何撲救?』 比丘們回答佛陀說:『世尊!應當生起強烈的意願,勤奮努力,及時撲滅。』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『頭上的衣服著火尚且可以暫時忘記,無常的猛火應當徹底斷除。爲了斷除無常的火,已經生起的惡不善法應當斷除,生起意願、精勤努力、收攝心念,使之增長。

English version (177) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'Suppose a person's head-clothing were on fire, how should it be extinguished?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, one should arouse intense desire, diligently apply effort, and extinguish it in time.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus, 'Even if one's head-clothing were on fire, it could be temporarily forgotten, but the raging fire of impermanence should be completely extinguished. To extinguish the fire of impermanence, one should dwell contemplating the body internally. How does one dwell contemplating the body internally to extinguish the fire of impermanence? It is that form is impermanent, and to extinguish attachment to it, one dwells contemplating the body internally. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, and to extinguish attachment to them, one dwells contemplating the body internally...' (extensive details omitted). Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. Just as with impermanence, so too with past impermanence, future impermanence, present impermanence, past and future impermanence, past and present impermanence, future and present impermanence, and past, future, and present impermanence. Just as with the eight discourses on internal body contemplation, so too with the eight discourses on external body contemplation, and the eight discourses on internal and external body contemplation, as described above. Just as with the twenty-four discourses on mindfulness of the body, so too with the twenty-four discourses on mindfulness of feeling, mindfulness of mind, and mindfulness of phenomena, as described above. Just as with the ninety-six discourses on what should be abandoned regarding impermanence, so too with the ninety-six discourses each on what should be known, what should be expelled, what should be exhausted, what should be stopped, what should be relinquished, what should be extinguished, and what should be annihilated, as described above. (178) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

English version: 'What kind of impermanent dharmas should be abandoned, and for the sake of abandoning evil and unwholesome dharmas that have already arisen, does one arouse desire, effort, mindfulness, and progress? It means that because form is impermanent, and feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also impermanent and should be abandoned, therefore, to abandon evil and unwholesome dharmas that have already arisen, one arouses desire, effort, mindfulness, and progress...' (extensive explanation omitted) ... After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Like the 'Impermanence Sutra,' the eight sutras on past impermanence, future impermanence, present impermanence, past and future impermanence, past and present impermanence, future and present impermanence, and past, future, and present impermanence are also as described above. Just as for the sake of abandoning evil and unwholesome dharmas that have already arisen, similarly, for the sake of preventing evil and unwholesome dharmas that have not yet arisen from arising, for the sake of causing wholesome dharmas that have not yet arisen to arise, and for the sake of increasing and expanding wholesome dharmas that have already arisen, the eight sutras on arousing desire, effort, mindfulness, and progress are also as described above. Just as there are thirty-two sutras on abandoning impermanence, similarly, it should be known, it should be expelled, it should be exhausted, it should be stopped, it should be relinquished, it should be extinguished, and it should be annihilated, each with thirty-two sutras, with detailed explanations as above. (179) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One said to the monks, 'If someone's head clothing were on fire, how should it be extinguished?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! One should arouse strong desire, diligently make effort, and extinguish it in time.' The Buddha told the monks, 'Even if the head clothing is burning, it can be temporarily forgotten, but the fierce fire of impermanence should be completely extinguished. To extinguish the fire of impermanence, one should cultivate the concentration of desire, abandon actions, and achieve the power of wish fulfillment. What kind of impermanent dharmas should be abandoned? It means that one should abandon the impermanence of form, and one should abandon the impermanence of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, therefore, one should cultivate the concentration of desire, abandon actions, and achieve the power of wish fulfillment...' (extensive explanation omitted) ... After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

Just as with the cultivation of the concentration of desire, so too are the concentrations of effort, intention, and contemplation.

To cut off the fire of impermanence, one should cultivate the root of faith. What impermanent phenomena should be cut off? It is the impermanence of form that should be cut off, the impermanence of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness that should be cut off, therefore cultivate the root of faith...'

現代漢語譯本: 佛陀告訴比丘們:『即使頭上的衣服著火了,還可以暫時忘記,但無常的猛火必須徹底斷除。爲了斷除無常的火焰,應當修習正見。爲了斷除什麼樣的無常之法火,應當修習正見呢?爲了斷除色法的無常,應當修習正見;爲了斷除受、想、行、識的無常,應當修習正見……』如此廣泛地闡述,乃至……。 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 如同無常一樣,過去的無常、未來的無常、現在的無常、過去未來的無常、過去現在的無常、未來現在的無常、過去未來現在的無常,也如上面所說。 如同正見八經一樣,正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定這八種經,也如上面所說。 如同應當斷除的六十四經一樣,應當知、應當吐、應當盡、應當止、應當舍、應當滅、應當沒這六十四經,也如上面所說。 (一八四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴比丘們:『如果有人頭上的衣服著火了,應當如何救呢?』 比丘們回答佛陀說:『世尊!應當發起強烈的意願,勤奮努力地及時救滅。』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『頭上的衣服著火了尚可暫時忘記,但無常的猛火必須徹底斷除,不留餘燼。爲了斷除無常的火焰,應當修習苦習盡道。爲了斷除什麼樣的無常之法,應當修習苦習盡道呢?爲了斷除色法的無常,應當修習苦習盡道;爲了斷除受、想、行、識的無常,應當修習苦習盡道……』如此廣泛地闡述,乃至……。 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 如同無常一樣,過去的無常、未來的無常、現在的無常、過去未來的無常、過去現在的無常、未來現在的無常、過去未來現在的無常,也如上面所說。 如同苦習盡道八經一樣,苦盡道、樂非盡道、樂盡道這八種經,也如上面所說。

English version: The Buddha told the monks, 'Even if your head clothing were on fire, you could temporarily forget about it, but the raging fire of impermanence must be completely extinguished. To extinguish the fire of impermanence, you should cultivate right view. To extinguish what kind of fire of impermanent dharmas should you cultivate right view? To extinguish the impermanence of form, you should cultivate right view; to extinguish the impermanence of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, you should cultivate right view...' Thus, it is extensively explained, and so on... After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. Just like impermanence, the impermanence of the past, the impermanence of the future, the impermanence of the present, the impermanence of the past and future, the impermanence of the past and present, the impermanence of the future and present, and the impermanence of the past, future, and present are also as described above. Just like the eight sutras on right view, the eight sutras on right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration are also as described above. Just like the sixty-four sutras that should be abandoned, the sixty-four sutras on what should be known, what should be expelled, what should be exhausted, what should be stopped, what should be relinquished, what should be extinguished, and what should be submerged are also as described above. (184) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, the World Honored One said to the monks, 'If someone's head clothing were on fire, how should it be saved?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! One should arouse intense desire, diligently and expediently save it to extinguish it.' The Buddha told the monks, 'Even if your head clothing were on fire, you could temporarily forget about it, but the raging fire of impermanence must be completely extinguished without any remainder. To extinguish the fire of impermanence, you should cultivate the path of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the way to its cessation. To extinguish what kind of impermanent dharmas should you cultivate the path of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the way to its cessation? To extinguish the impermanence of form, you should cultivate the path of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the way to its cessation; to extinguish the impermanence of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, you should cultivate the path of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the way to its cessation...'

Just like the eight sutras on the path of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the way to its cessation, the eight sutras on the path of the cessation of suffering, the path of non-cessation of pleasure, and the path of the cessation of pleasure are also as described above.

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.

Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'Suppose a person's head clothing were on fire, how should it be extinguished?'

The monks replied to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One! One should arouse intense desire, diligently and expediently extinguish it in time.'

The Buddha told the monks, 'Even if head clothing were burning, it could be temporarily forgotten, but the raging fire of impermanence should be completely extinguished. To extinguish the fire of impermanence, one should cultivate the phrase of non-greed. What impermanent dharma should be abandoned to cultivate the phrase of non-greed? It is abandoning the impermanence of form, cultivating the phrase of non-greed; abandoning the impermanence of feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness, cultivating the phrase of non-greed...' Thus, it is extensively explained, and so on...

After the Buddha finished speaking this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

Just like impermanence, so too are past impermanence, future impermanence, present impermanence, past and future impermanence, past and present impermanence, future and present impermanence, and past, future, and present impermanence, as described above.

Just as there are eight discourses on cultivating the phrase of non-greed, so too are there eight discourses each on non-hatred, non-delusion, and other correct phrases, as described above.

Just as there are twenty-four discourses to be abandoned, so too should it be known, relinquished, exhausted, stopped, given up, extinguished, and eliminated, each of these twenty-four discourses, as described above.

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 如同無常的道理一樣,過去是無常的,未來是無常的,現在是無常的,過去未來是無常的,過去現在是無常的,未來現在是無常的,過去未來現在都是無常的,這些道理都如上面所說。 如同修習止的八種經文一樣,修習觀的八種經文,也如上面所說。 如同應當斷除的十六種經文一樣,應當知曉、應當吐出、應當窮盡、應當停止、應當捨棄、應當滅除、應當沉沒的每一種都有十六種經文,這些道理都如上面所說。 『所有一切色法,無論是過去的、未來的、現在的,無論是內在的、外在的,無論是粗糙的、細微的,無論是美好的、醜陋的,無論是遙遠的、臨近的,它們都不是我,不是與我不同的東西,也不是存在於我之中的東西,應當如實地知曉;感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此。』多聞的聖弟子如果這樣正確地觀察,就會對色法生起厭離,對感受、思想、行為、意識生起厭離;厭離之後就不會貪戀,不貪戀就會解脫,解脫之後就會生起這樣的知見:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的事情已經完成,自己知道不會再有來生。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。

English version After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just as impermanence is, so too are the past impermanent, the future impermanent, the present impermanent, the past and future impermanent, the past and present impermanent, the future and present impermanent, and the past, future, and present all impermanent, as described above. Just as there are eight sutras on cultivating tranquility, so too are there eight sutras on cultivating insight, as described above. Just as there are sixteen sutras on what should be abandoned, so too are there sixteen sutras each on what should be known, what should be expelled, what should be exhausted, what should be stopped, what should be relinquished, what should be extinguished, and what should be submerged, as described above. 'All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of them are not-self, not different from self, and not existing within self, should be known as they truly are; so too are feelings, perceptions, volitions, and consciousness. A well-learned noble disciple who thus correctly observes, becomes disenchanted with form, and becomes disenchanted with feelings, perceptions, volitions, and consciousness; being disenchanted, they are not attached, and not being attached, they are liberated, and upon liberation, they have the knowledge: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

'What kind of past, future, and present impermanent dharmas should be cut off, even to extinction, to practice cessation and insight? It is cutting off the impermanence of form in the past, future, and present, even to extinction, therefore practicing cessation and insight. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' 'Therefore, all forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, they are all not-self, not different from self, not dependent on self, one should know this as it is. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' 'A well-learned noble disciple, observing in this way, becomes weary of form, becomes weary of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Because of weariness, they do not delight in them. Because of not delighting, they are liberated. Upon liberation, they have the knowledge: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, I know that there will be no further existence.』'

What is this one thing that is accomplished? It is the accomplishment of greed; one is incapable of knowing that form is impermanent, nor of knowing that feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent. What is the one thing that is accomplished? It is the accomplishment of non-greed; one who has accomplished non-greed is capable of knowing that form is impermanent, and capable of knowing that feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent.'

It is the same.' English version: 'Just as with this knowing, this understanding, receiving, seeking, debating, and solitary realization, it is also the same.' English version: 'Like greed, so it is with hatred, delusion, anger, resentment, scolding, attachment, jealousy, stinginess, illusion, flattery, shamelessness, lack of remorse, pride, excessive pride, increased pride, conceit, superior conceit, wrong conceit, inferior conceit, arrogance, recklessness, haughtiness, crookedness, enticement, harmful gain, excessive desire, constant desire, disrespectful desire, harsh speech, bad friends, not enduring greed, craving non-greed, evil greed, self-view, extreme view, wrong view, clinging to views, clinging to precepts, desire for love, hatred, sleepiness, restlessness, doubt, drowsiness, wandering, sluggishness, laziness, confused thoughts, wrong recollection, a defiled body, not being upright, not being gentle, not being harmonious, thoughts of desire, thoughts of hatred, thoughts of harm, thoughts of relatives, thoughts of country, thoughts of belittling, thoughts of loving another's family, sorrow, worry, and suffering. With each of these things, even to obscuring, one is incapable of extinguishing form and realizing it.' English version: 'What is the one thing? It is affliction and suffering. Because one is obscured by affliction and suffering, one is incapable of extinguishing form and realizing it, and incapable of extinguishing feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness and realizing them. When one is not obscured by one thing, one is capable of extinguishing form and realizing it, and capable of extinguishing feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness and realizing them.'


「何等一法?謂惱苦,此一法不映翳故,堪任於色滅盡作證,堪任於受、想、行、識滅盡作證。」

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(一八八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當正觀察眼無常。如是觀者,是名正見。正觀故生厭,生厭故離喜、離貪,離喜、貪故,我說心正解脫。如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意,離喜、離貪,離喜、貪故。比丘!我說心正解脫,心正解脫者,能自記說:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如無常,如是苦、空、非我,亦如是說。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「于眼當正思惟、觀察無常。所以者何?于眼正思惟、觀察無常故,于眼欲貪斷,欲貪斷故,我說心正解脫。耳、鼻、舌、身、意,正思惟、觀察故,欲貪斷,欲貪斷者,我說心正解脫。如是,比丘!心正解脫者,能自記說:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 『是哪一種法呢?』是指惱苦,因為這種法不被遮蔽,所以能夠證得色滅盡,能夠證得受、想、行、識滅盡。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《雜阿含經》卷第七 大正藏第02冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第八 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (一八八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當正確地觀察眼睛是無常的。這樣觀察,就稱為正見。因為正確觀察而產生厭離,因為產生厭離而離開喜悅、離開貪慾,因為離開喜悅、貪慾,我說心就得到真正的解脫。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此,離開喜悅、離開貪慾,因為離開喜悅、貪慾。比丘們!我說心得到真正的解脫,心得到真正解脫的人,能夠自己記述說:『我此生已盡,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有後世的生命。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 如同無常一樣,苦、空、非我,也是這樣說的。 (一八九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『對於眼睛應當正確地思考、觀察無常。為什麼呢?因為對於眼睛正確地思考、觀察無常,所以對於眼睛的慾望和貪念就會斷除,慾望和貪念斷除,我說心就得到真正的解脫。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識,因為正確地思考、觀察,慾望和貪念就會斷除,慾望和貪念斷除的人,我說心就得到真正的解脫。這樣,比丘們!心得到真正解脫的人,能夠自己記述說:『我此生已盡,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有後世的生命。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (一九〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version 'What is that one thing?' It is vexation and suffering. Because this one thing is not obscured, it is capable of realizing the cessation of form, capable of realizing the cessation of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Scroll 7 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 02, No. 0099, Miscellaneous Agama Sutra Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Scroll 8 Translated by Tripitaka Master Gunabhadra of Tianzhu during the Song Dynasty (188) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'You should correctly observe that the eye is impermanent. Observing in this way is called right view. Because of right observation, aversion arises; because of aversion, joy and greed are abandoned; because joy and greed are abandoned, I say the mind is truly liberated. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind; when joy and greed are abandoned. Monks! I say the mind is truly liberated. One whose mind is truly liberated can declare: 「My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.」' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just as with impermanence, so it is said of suffering, emptiness, and non-self. (189) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'Regarding the eye, you should correctly contemplate and observe impermanence. Why is that? Because by correctly contemplating and observing impermanence in the eye, desire and greed for the eye are cut off. When desire and greed are cut off, I say the mind is truly liberated. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind; by correctly contemplating and observing, desire and greed are cut off. One whose desire and greed are cut off, I say the mind is truly liberated. Thus, monks! One whose mind is truly liberated can declare: 「My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.」' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (190) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若於眼不識、不知、不斷、不離欲者,不堪任正盡苦。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。諸比丘!于眼若識、若知、若斷、若離欲者,堪任正盡苦。于耳、鼻、舌、身、意,若識、若知、若斷、若離欲者,堪任正盡苦。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若於眼、色不離欲,心不解脫者,不堪任越生、老、病、死苦

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果對於眼睛不能認識、不能瞭解、不能斷除、不能脫離慾望,就不能真正地了結痛苦。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念也是如此。各位比丘!如果對於眼睛能夠認識、能夠了解、能夠斷除、能夠脫離慾望,就能真正地了結痛苦。對於耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念,如果能夠認識、能夠了解、能夠斷除、能夠脫離慾望,就能真正地了結痛苦。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一九一) 我聽到的是這樣的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果對於眼睛不能認識、不能瞭解、不能斷除、不能脫離慾望,就不能超越生、老、病、死的痛苦。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念,如果不能認識、不能瞭解、不能斷除、不能脫離慾望,就不能超越生、老、病、死的痛苦。各位比丘!如果對於眼睛能夠認識、能夠了解、能夠斷除、能夠脫離慾望,就能超越生、老、病、死的痛苦。對於耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念,如果能夠認識、能夠了解、能夠斷除、能夠脫離慾望,就能超越生、老、病、死的痛苦。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一九二) 我聽到的是這樣的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果對於眼睛不能脫離慾望,心不能解脫,就不能真正地了結痛苦。對於耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念不能脫離慾望,心不能解脫,就不能真正地了結痛苦。各位比丘!如果對於眼睛的色慾能夠脫離,心能夠解脫,就能真正地了結痛苦。對於耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念的慾望能夠脫離,心能夠解脫,就能真正地了結痛苦。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一九三) 我聽到的是這樣的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果對於眼睛和色慾不能脫離慾望,心不能解脫,就不能超越生、老、病、死的痛苦。

English version At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If one does not recognize, does not understand, does not abandon, and does not detach from desire regarding the eye, one is incapable of truly ending suffering.

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「一切無常。云何一切無常?謂眼無常,若色、眼識、眼觸,若眼觸因緣生受,苦覺、樂覺、不苦不樂覺,彼亦無常。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。多聞聖弟子如是觀者,于眼生厭,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,苦覺、樂覺、不苦不樂覺,于彼生厭。耳、鼻、舌、身、意,聲、香、味、觸、法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣生受,苦覺、樂覺、不苦不樂覺,彼亦生厭,厭故不樂,不樂故解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本 如果對於眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意不捨棄慾望,內心不得解脫的人,就無法超越生、老、病、死的痛苦。各位比丘!如果對於眼、色捨棄慾望,內心得到解脫的人,就能超越生、老、病、死的痛苦。對於耳、鼻、舌、身、意捨棄慾望,內心得到解脫的人,就能超越生、老、病、死的痛苦。 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。

如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『如果對於眼睛產生喜愛,就會對痛苦產生喜愛;如果對痛苦產生喜愛,我說這個人就不能從痛苦中解脫。對於耳、鼻、舌、身、意產生喜愛,就會對痛苦產生喜愛;如果對痛苦產生喜愛,我說這個人就不能從痛苦中解脫。』 『各位比丘!如果對於眼睛不產生喜愛,就不會對痛苦產生喜愛;如果對痛苦不產生喜愛,我說這個人就能從痛苦中解脫。對於耳、鼻、舌、身、意不產生喜愛,就不會對痛苦產生喜愛;如果對痛苦不產生喜愛,我說這個人就能從痛苦中解脫。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。

English version Those who do not detach from desire regarding the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, and whose minds are not liberated, are incapable of overcoming the suffering of birth, old age, sickness, and death. Monks! If one detaches from desire regarding the eye and form, and their mind is liberated, they are capable of overcoming the suffering of birth, old age, sickness, and death. If one detaches from desire regarding the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, and their mind is liberated, they are capable of overcoming the suffering of birth, old age, sickness, and death. After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks: 'If one generates delight in the eye, then one generates delight in suffering; if one generates delight in suffering, I say that they are not liberated from suffering. If one generates delight in the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, then one generates delight in suffering; if one generates delight in suffering, I say that they are not liberated from suffering.' 'Monks! If one does not generate delight in the eye, then one does not generate delight in suffering; if one does not generate delight in suffering, I say that they are liberated from suffering. If one does not generate delight in the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, then one does not generate delight in suffering; if one does not generate delight in suffering, I say that they are liberated from suffering.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks: 'All is impermanent. What is meant by all being impermanent? It means the eye is impermanent, as are form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is a painful feeling, a pleasant feeling, or a neutral feeling. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. A well-learned noble disciple, observing in this way, becomes disenchanted with the eye, as well as with form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is a painful feeling, a pleasant feeling, or a neutral feeling. They also become disenchanted with the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, as well as with sound, smell, taste, touch, mental objects, mind-consciousness, mind-contact, and the feeling born of mind-contact, whether it is a painful feeling, a pleasant feeling, or a neutral feeling. Because of disenchantment, they do not delight; because they do not delight, they are liberated. Upon liberation, they know: 「Birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, and I know that there will be no further existence.」' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.


如無常經,如是苦、空、無我,亦如是說。

(一九六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「一切無常。云何一切?謂眼無常,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦無常。如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意,若法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦無常。多聞聖弟子如是觀者,于眼解脫,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦解脫。如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法,意識、意觸、意觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦解脫,我說彼生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如說一切無常,如是一切苦、一切空、一切非我、一切虛業法、一切破壞法、一切生法、一切老法、一切病法、一切死法、一切愁憂法、一切煩惱法、一切集法、一切滅法、一切知法、一切識法、一切斷法、一切覺法、一切作證、一切魔、一切魔勢、一切魔器、一切然、一切熾然、一切燒,皆如上二經廣說。

(一九七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦阇尸利沙支提,與千比丘俱,皆是舊縈發婆羅門。

爾時,世尊為千比丘作三種示現教化。云何為三?神足變化示現、他心示現、教誡示現

現代漢語譯本 如同無常的教義一樣,苦、空、無我的道理也是這樣闡述的。

(一九六)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『一切都是無常的。什麼是一切呢?就是眼睛是無常的,以及色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,這些也都是無常的。同樣,耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識,以及法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,這些也都是無常的。』多聞的聖弟子如果這樣觀察,就能從眼睛中解脫,以及從色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂中解脫。同樣,從耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識、法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂中解脫。我說他們已經脫離了生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

如同說一切都是無常一樣,一切都是苦、一切都是空、一切都不是我、一切都是虛妄的法、一切都是會破壞的法、一切都是會生的法、一切都是會老的法、一切都是會病的法、一切都是會死的法、一切都是會愁憂的法、一切都是會煩惱的法、一切都是會集起的法、一切都是會滅的法、一切都是可知的法、一切都是可識的法、一切都是可斷的法、一切都是可覺的法、一切都是可作證的、一切都是魔、一切都是魔的勢力、一切都是魔的工具、一切都是燃燒的、一切都是熾熱的、一切都是燒燬的,這些都如上面兩部經所廣泛闡述的那樣。

(一九七)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在迦奢尸利沙支提,與一千位比丘在一起,他們都是以前結著髮髻的婆羅門。

那時,世尊為一千位比丘做了三種示現教化。哪三種呢?神足變化示現、他心示現、教誡示現。

English version Just as the teaching of impermanence, so are the doctrines of suffering, emptiness, and non-self explained.

(196)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'All is impermanent. What is all? The eye is impermanent, and so are form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is pleasant, unpleasant, or neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant. These are also impermanent. Likewise, the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, as well as phenomena, mind-consciousness, mind-contact, and the feeling born of mind-contact, whether it is pleasant, unpleasant, or neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant, these are also impermanent.' A well-learned noble disciple, observing in this way, is liberated from the eye, and from form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is pleasant, unpleasant, or neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant. Likewise, they are liberated from the ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, phenomena, mind-consciousness, mind-contact, and the feeling born of mind-contact, whether it is pleasant, unpleasant, or neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant. I say they are freed from birth, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair.

Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and practiced accordingly.

Just as it is said that all is impermanent, so it is said that all is suffering, all is empty, all is not-self, all is illusory phenomena, all is subject to destruction, all is subject to birth, all is subject to aging, all is subject to sickness, all is subject to death, all is subject to sorrow, all is subject to affliction, all is subject to arising, all is subject to cessation, all is knowable, all is cognizable, all is to be abandoned, all is to be realized, all is to be witnessed, all is Mara, all is Mara's power, all is Mara's tools, all is burning, all is blazing, all is consumed, all as explained in detail in the two previous discourses.

(197)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling at the Kajasirisaka shrine, together with a thousand bhikkhus, all of whom were former braided-hair Brahmins.

Then, the Blessed One performed three kinds of displays of teaching for the thousand bhikkhus. What are the three? The display of psychic power, the display of mind-reading, and the display of instruction.


神足示現者,世尊隨其所應,而示現入禪定正受,陵虛至東方,作四威儀,行、住、坐、臥,入火三昧,出種種火光,青、黃、赤、白、紅、頗梨色,水火俱現、或身下出火,身上出水,身上出火,身下出水,周圓四方亦復如是。爾時,世尊作種種神變已,于眾中坐,是名神足示現。

他心示現者,如彼心、如彼意、如彼識,彼應作如是念、不應作如是念、彼應作如是舍、彼應作如是身證住,是名他心示現。

教誡示現者,如世尊說:「諸比丘!一切燒然。云何一切燒然?謂眼燒然,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦燒然。如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意燒然,若法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦燒然,以何燒然,貪火燒然、恚火燒然、癡火燒然,生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦火燒然。」

爾時,千比丘聞佛所說,不起諸漏,心得解脫,佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一九八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城耆阇崛山。

爾時,尊者羅睺羅往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!云何知、云何見我內識身及外一切相,令我、我所、我慢使繫著不生?」

爾時,世尊告羅睺羅:「善哉!羅睺羅!能問如來甚深之義。」

佛告羅睺羅:「眼若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、非異我、不相在如實知。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是

現代漢語譯本:

    神足示現,是指世尊根據情況,示現進入禪定正受,騰空飛到東方,做出行、住、坐、臥四種威儀,進入火三昧,放出各種顏色的火焰,青色、黃色、紅色、白色、紅色、琉璃色,水火同時顯現,或者身體下方出火,身體上方出水,身體上方出火,身體下方出水,周圍四方也是這樣。當時,世尊展現各種神通變化后,在眾人中坐下,這稱為神足示現。

    他心示現,是指了解對方的心、意、識,知道對方應該這樣想、不應該那樣想,應該這樣捨棄、應該這樣通過身體證悟並安住,這稱為他心示現。

    教誡示現,是指世尊說:『各位比丘!一切都在燃燒。什麼是一切都在燃燒呢?就是眼睛在燃燒,如果看到顏色、產生眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、不苦不樂,也都在燃燒。同樣,耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也在燃燒,如果接觸到法、產生意識、意觸、意觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、不苦不樂,也都在燃燒。被什麼燃燒呢?被貪慾之火燃燒、被嗔恨之火燃燒、被愚癡之火燃燒,被生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、煩惱、痛苦之火燃燒。』

    當時,一千位比丘聽了佛的教誨,不再產生各種煩惱,內心得到解脫。佛說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

    (一九八)

    我是這樣聽說的:

    一時,佛住在王舍城的耆阇崛山。

    當時,尊者羅睺羅前往佛陀處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,對佛說:『世尊!如何知道、如何看到我內在的識身以及外在的一切現象,使我、我所、我慢的執著不再產生?』

    當時,世尊告訴羅睺羅:『很好!羅睺羅!你能夠問如來如此深奧的道理。』

    佛告訴羅睺羅:『眼睛,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是好、丑,無論是遠、近,這一切都不是我,不是與我不同的東西,不依存於我,要如實地知道。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。』

English version:

    The manifestation of spiritual power is when the World-Honored One, according to the circumstances, manifests entering into meditative absorption, rises into the air and goes to the east, displaying the four postures of walking, standing, sitting, and lying down. He enters the fire samadhi, emitting various colors of flames: blue, yellow, red, white, crimson, and crystal-like. Water and fire appear simultaneously, or fire emerges from below the body and water from above, or fire from above and water from below, and the same is true in all four directions. At that time, after the World-Honored One had displayed various miraculous transformations, he sat down among the assembly. This is called the manifestation of spiritual power.

    The manifestation of knowing others' minds is when one understands another's mind, intention, and consciousness, knowing what they should think and what they should not think, what they should abandon and how they should realize and abide through their body. This is called the manifestation of knowing others' minds.

    The manifestation of instruction is when the World-Honored One says: 'Monks! Everything is burning. What is it that is burning? It is the eye that is burning. If there is form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, that too is burning. Likewise, the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are burning. If there is a dharma, mind-consciousness, mind-contact, and the feeling born of mind-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, that too is burning. What is it that is burning? It is burning with the fire of greed, the fire of hatred, the fire of delusion, and the fire of birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress.'

    At that time, a thousand monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, no longer produced any defilements, and their minds were liberated. After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.

    (198)

    Thus have I heard:

    At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa in Rājagṛha.

    At that time, the Venerable Rāhula went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and stood to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! How should I know and how should I see my inner consciousness-body and all external phenomena, so that the attachments to 'I', 'mine', and 'conceit' do not arise?'

    At that time, the World-Honored One said to Rāhula: 'Excellent, Rāhula! You are able to ask the Tathagata about such profound meaning.'

    The Buddha said to Rāhula: 'The eye, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether far or near, all of it is not 'I', not different from 'I', and not dependent on 'I'. You should know this truthfully. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same.'

「羅睺羅!作如是知、如是見我此識身及外一切相,令我、我所、我慢使繫著不生。羅睺羅!如是我、我所、我慢使繫著不生者。羅睺羅!是名斷愛濁見,正無間等,究竟苦邊。」

佛說此經已,尊者羅睺羅聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如內入處,如是外入處,色、聲、香、味、觸、法,眼識,耳、鼻、舌、身、意識,眼觸,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸,眼觸生受,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸生受,眼觸生想,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸生想,眼觸生思,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸生思,眼觸生愛,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸生愛,亦如上說。

(一九九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告羅睺羅:「云何知、云何見,於此識身及外一切相,無有我、我所、我慢使繫著?」

羅睺羅白佛言:「世尊是法根、法眼、法依。善哉!世尊!當爲諸比丘廣說此義,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告羅睺羅:「善哉!諦聽,當爲汝說。諸所有眼,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、非異我、不相在如實正觀。羅睺羅!耳、鼻、舌、身意亦復如是。

「羅睺羅!如是知、如是見我此識身及外一切相,我、我所、我慢使繫著不生。羅睺羅!如是比丘越於二,離諸相,寂滅解脫。羅睺羅!如是比丘斷諸愛慾,轉去諸結,究竟苦邊。」

佛說此經已,羅睺羅聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如內入,如是外入,乃至意觸因緣生受,亦如是廣說

現代漢語譯本: 『羅睺羅!如此知曉、如此看待我這有意識的身體以及外在的一切現象,使我、我所、我慢的執著不再產生。羅睺羅!如果我、我所、我慢的執著不再產生。羅睺羅!這就叫做斷除了愛慾的污濁見解,達到真正的無間等,最終到達苦的盡頭。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者羅睺羅聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 如同內在的入處一樣,外在的入處,色、聲、香、味、觸、法,眼識,耳、鼻、舌、身、意識,眼觸,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸,眼觸所生的感受,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸所生的感受,眼觸所生的想法,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸所生的想法,眼觸所生的思量,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸所生的思量,眼觸所生的愛慾,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸所生的愛慾,也如上面所說。 (一九九) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴羅睺羅:『如何知曉、如何看待,對於這有意識的身體以及外在的一切現象,沒有我、我所、我慢的執著?』 羅睺羅對佛陀說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠。太好了!世尊!應當為眾比丘廣泛解說這個道理,眾比丘聽聞后,應當接受奉行。』 佛陀告訴羅睺羅:『很好!仔細聽,我將為你解說。所有眼睛,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是好、丑,無論是遠、近,它們都不是我、不是異於我、不相互依存,要如實地正確觀察。羅睺羅!耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。』 『羅睺羅!如此知曉、如此看待我這有意識的身體以及外在的一切現象,我、我所、我慢的執著就不會產生。羅睺羅!這樣的比丘超越了二元對立,遠離了各種現象,達到寂滅解脫。羅睺羅!這樣的比丘斷除了各種愛慾,轉變了各種束縛,最終到達苦的盡頭。』 佛陀說完這部經后,羅睺羅聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 如同內在的入處一樣,外在的入處,乃至意觸因緣所生的感受,也如上面所說的那樣廣泛解說。

English version: 'Rahula! Knowing and seeing this body of consciousness and all external phenomena in this way, the attachments of 'I', 'mine', and 'conceit' do not arise. Rahula! If the attachments of 'I', 'mine', and 'conceit' do not arise. Rahula! This is called the cutting off of the defiled views of craving, reaching true non-interruption, and ultimately reaching the end of suffering.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Venerable Rahula, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just like the internal sense bases, so too are the external sense bases: form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and mental objects; eye-consciousness, ear-, nose-, tongue-, body-, and mind-consciousness; eye-contact, ear-, nose-, tongue-, body-, and mind-contact; feeling born of eye-contact, feeling born of ear-, nose-, tongue-, body-, and mind-contact; perception born of eye-contact, perception born of ear-, nose-, tongue-, body-, and mind-contact; thought born of eye-contact, thought born of ear-, nose-, tongue-, body-, and mind-contact; craving born of eye-contact, craving born of ear-, nose-, tongue-, body-, and mind-contact, are also as described above. (199) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the Blessed One said to Rahula: 'How does one know and how does one see, that with regard to this body of consciousness and all external phenomena, there is no attachment of 'I', 'mine', and 'conceit'?' Rahula said to the Buddha: 'Blessed One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma. Excellent! Blessed One! Please explain this meaning extensively to the monks, so that when the monks hear it, they will accept and practice it.' The Buddha said to Rahula: 'Excellent! Listen carefully, and I will explain it to you. All eyes, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether far or near, all of them are not 'I', not different from 'I', and not interdependent, one should observe them truthfully and correctly. Rahula! The ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same.' 'Rahula! Knowing and seeing this body of consciousness and all external phenomena in this way, the attachments of 'I', 'mine', and 'conceit' do not arise. Rahula! Such a monk transcends duality, is free from all phenomena, and attains the peace of liberation. Rahula! Such a monk cuts off all cravings, transforms all fetters, and ultimately reaches the end of suffering.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Rahula, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just like the internal sense bases, so too are the external sense bases, and even the feeling born of mind-contact, are also extensively explained as above.


(二〇〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者羅睺羅往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「善哉!世尊!為我說法,我聞法已,獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住;獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住已,如是思惟:『所以族姓子剃除鬚髮,正信非家,出家學道,修持梵行,見法自知作證:「我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。」』」

爾時,世尊觀察羅睺羅心,解脫慧未熟,未堪任受增上法。問羅睺羅言:「汝以授人五受陰未?」

羅睺羅白佛:「未也。世尊!」

佛告羅睺羅:「汝當爲人演說五受陰。」

爾時,羅睺羅受佛教已,于異時為人演說五受陰,說已,還詣佛所,𥡳首佛足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我已為人說五受陰,唯愿世尊為我說法,我聞法已,獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至自知不受後有。」

爾時,世尊復觀察羅睺羅心,解脫智未熟,不堪任受增上法。問羅睺羅言:「汝為人說六入處未?」

羅睺羅白佛:「未也。世尊!」

佛告羅睺羅:「汝當爲人演說六入處。」

爾時,羅睺羅于異時為人演說六入處,說六入處已,來詣佛所,𥡳首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我已為人演說六入處,唯愿世尊為我說法,我聞法已,當獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至自知不受後有。」

爾時,世尊觀察羅睺羅心,解脫智未熟,不堪任受增上法

現代漢語譯本 (二〇〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者羅睺羅前往佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊,太好了!請您為我說法,我聽聞佛法后,將獨自在清靜之處,專心精進地思考,不放逸地修行;獨自在清靜之處,專心精進地思考,不放逸地修行后,我將這樣思考:『為什麼族姓子弟要剃除鬚髮,以堅定的信仰離開家庭,出家學道,修持清凈的行為,親身證悟佛法,並自我了知:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的行為已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來世。』 當時,世尊觀察羅睺羅的心,知道他的解脫智慧尚未成熟,還不能接受更深奧的佛法。於是問羅睺羅:『你是否已經為他人講授過五受陰?』 羅睺羅回答佛陀:『還沒有,世尊!』 佛陀告訴羅睺羅:『你應該為他人演說五受陰。』 當時,羅睺羅接受佛陀的教誨后,在其他時間為他人演說五受陰。說完之後,他回到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊,我已經為他人講說了五受陰,希望世尊為我說法,我聽聞佛法后,將獨自在清靜之處,專心精進地思考,不放逸地修行,直到自己知道不再有來世。』 當時,世尊再次觀察羅睺羅的心,知道他的解脫智慧尚未成熟,還不能接受更深奧的佛法。於是問羅睺羅:『你是否已經為他人講授過六入處?』 羅睺羅回答佛陀:『還沒有,世尊!』 佛陀告訴羅睺羅:『你應該為他人演說六入處。』 當時,羅睺羅在其他時間為他人演說六入處。說完六入處后,他來到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊,我已經為他人講說了六入處,希望世尊為我說法,我聽聞佛法后,將獨自在清靜之處,專心精進地思考,不放逸地修行,直到自己知道不再有來世。』 當時,世尊觀察羅睺羅的心,知道他的解脫智慧尚未成熟,還不能接受更深奧的佛法。

English version (Two Hundred) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, the Venerable Rahula went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Excellent, O Blessed One! Please teach me the Dharma. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplating, abiding without negligence; having dwelt alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplating, abiding without negligence, I will think thus: 『Why do sons of good families shave their heads and beards, leave home with firm faith, go forth to practice the Way, cultivate the pure life, realize the Dharma for themselves, and know for themselves: 「Birth is exhausted, the pure life is established, what was to be done is done, and I know that there is no further existence.」』 Then, the Blessed One observed Rahula's mind, knowing that his wisdom of liberation was not yet mature, and he was not yet capable of receiving higher teachings. He asked Rahula: 'Have you taught others about the five aggregates of clinging?' Rahula replied to the Buddha: 'No, O Blessed One!' The Buddha told Rahula: 'You should explain the five aggregates of clinging to others.' Then, Rahula, having received the Buddha's teaching, at another time explained the five aggregates of clinging to others. Having done so, he returned to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'O Blessed One, I have explained the five aggregates of clinging to others. I wish that the Blessed One would teach me the Dharma. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplating, abiding without negligence, until I know for myself that there is no further existence.' Then, the Blessed One again observed Rahula's mind, knowing that his wisdom of liberation was not yet mature, and he was not yet capable of receiving higher teachings. He asked Rahula: 'Have you taught others about the six sense bases?' Rahula replied to the Buddha: 'No, O Blessed One!' The Buddha told Rahula: 'You should explain the six sense bases to others.' Then, Rahula, at another time, explained the six sense bases to others. Having explained the six sense bases, he came to where the Buddha was, bowed down at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'O Blessed One, I have explained the six sense bases to others. I wish that the Blessed One would teach me the Dharma. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplating, abiding without negligence, until I know for myself that there is no further existence.' Then, the Blessed One observed Rahula's mind, knowing that his wisdom of liberation was not yet mature, and he was not yet capable of receiving higher teachings.


。問羅睺羅言:「汝已為人說尼陀那法未?」

羅睺羅白佛言:「未也。世尊!」

佛告羅睺羅:「汝當爲人演說尼陀那法。」

爾時,羅睺羅于異時為人廣說尼陀那法已,來詣佛所,𥡳首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!為我說法,我聞法已,獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至自知不受後有。」

爾時,世尊復觀察羅睺羅心,解脫智未熟……廣說乃至告羅睺羅言:「汝當於上所說諸法,獨於一靜處,專精思惟,觀察其義。」

爾時,羅睺羅受佛教敕,如上所聞法、所說法思惟稱量,觀察其義,作是念:「此諸法一切皆順趣涅槃、流注涅槃、后住涅槃。」爾時,羅睺羅往詣佛所,𥡳首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我已於如上所聞法、所說法獨一靜處,思惟稱量,觀察其義,知此諸法皆順趣涅槃、流注涅槃、后住涅槃。」

爾時,世尊觀察羅睺羅心,解脫智熟,堪任受增上法。告羅睺羅言:「羅睺羅!一切無常。何等法無常?謂眼無常,若色、眼識、眼觸……」如上無常廣說。

爾時,羅睺羅聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,禮佛而退。

爾時,羅睺羅受佛教已,獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住:「所以族姓子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道,純修梵行,乃至見法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」成阿羅漢,心善解脫。

佛說此經已,羅睺羅聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二〇一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:佛陀問羅睺羅:『你已經為他人講說因緣法了嗎?』 羅睺羅回答佛陀說:『還沒有,世尊!』 佛陀告訴羅睺羅:『你應該為他人演說因緣法。』 當時,羅睺羅在其他時間為他人廣泛講述因緣法后,來到佛陀處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!請為我說法,我聽聞佛法后,將獨自在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸地修行,直到自己了知不再有來世。』 當時,世尊再次觀察羅睺羅的心,發現他的解脫智慧尚未成熟……(此處省略詳細描述)直到告訴羅睺羅:『你應當對以上所說的諸法,獨自在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,觀察其中的含義。』 當時,羅睺羅接受佛陀的教誨,像之前所聽聞的佛法、所講說的佛法那樣思考衡量,觀察其中的含義,心中想:『這些法一切都順向涅槃、流向涅槃、最終安住于涅槃。』當時,羅睺羅前往佛陀處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我已經對如上所聽聞的佛法、所講說的佛法獨自在安靜的地方,思考衡量,觀察其中的含義,知道這些法都順向涅槃、流向涅槃、最終安住于涅槃。』 當時,世尊觀察羅睺羅的心,發現他的解脫智慧已經成熟,堪能接受更深層次的佛法。告訴羅睺羅說:『羅睺羅!一切都是無常的。哪些法是無常的呢?所謂眼是無常的,色、眼識、眼觸……』(此處省略關於無常的詳細描述)。 當時,羅睺羅聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,禮拜佛陀後退下。 當時,羅睺羅接受佛陀的教誨后,獨自在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸地修行:『所以族姓子剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信離開家庭,出家學道,純粹地修習梵行,直到親見佛法,自己作證:『我的生死已經結束,梵行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』成為阿羅漢,心得到徹底的解脫。 佛陀說完這部經后,羅睺羅聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二〇一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: The Buddha asked Rahula, 'Have you spoken to others about the Nidana Dharma?' Rahula replied to the Buddha, 'Not yet, O Blessed One!' The Buddha told Rahula, 'You should explain the Nidana Dharma to others.' Then, at another time, after Rahula had extensively explained the Nidana Dharma to others, he went to the Buddha, bowed his head at his feet, stepped aside, and said to the Buddha, 'O Blessed One! Please teach me the Dharma. After hearing the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, and live without negligence, until I know for myself that there will be no further existence.' At that time, the Blessed One again observed Rahula's mind and found that his wisdom of liberation was not yet mature... (details omitted) until he told Rahula, 'You should, regarding the aforementioned teachings, dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, and observe their meaning.' Then, Rahula, having received the Buddha's instruction, contemplated and measured the Dharma as he had heard and spoken it, observing its meaning, and thought, 'All these teachings lead towards Nirvana, flow towards Nirvana, and ultimately abide in Nirvana.' Then, Rahula went to the Buddha, bowed his head at his feet, stepped aside, and said to the Buddha, 'O Blessed One! I have, regarding the aforementioned Dharma I have heard and spoken, dwelt alone in a quiet place, contemplated and measured, observed its meaning, and know that all these teachings lead towards Nirvana, flow towards Nirvana, and ultimately abide in Nirvana.' At that time, the Blessed One observed Rahula's mind and found that his wisdom of liberation was mature and that he was capable of receiving higher teachings. He told Rahula, 'Rahula! Everything is impermanent. What things are impermanent? The eye is impermanent, as are form, eye-consciousness, and eye-contact...' (details about impermanence omitted). Then, Rahula, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, bowed to the Buddha, and withdrew. Then, Rahula, having received the Buddha's instruction, dwelt alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplated, and lived without negligence: 'Therefore, a son of good family shaves his hair and beard, puts on the monastic robe, leaves home with faith, goes forth to practice the Way, purely practices the holy life, until he sees the Dharma for himself and testifies: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know for myself that there will be no further existence.』' He became an Arhat, his mind completely liberated. After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, Rahula, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (201) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


時,有異比丘來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!云何知、云何見,次第疾得漏盡?」

爾時,世尊告彼比丘:「當正觀無常。何等法無常?謂眼無常,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,當觀無常。耳、鼻、舌、身、意當觀無常。若法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦無常。比丘!如是知、如是見,次第盡有漏。」

時,彼比丘聞佛所說,歡喜作禮而去。

如是,比丘所說經。若差別者:「云何知、云何見,次第盡一切結,斷一切縛、斷一切使、斷一切上煩惱、斷一切結、斷諸流、斷諸軛、斷諸取、斷諸觸、斷諸蓋、斷諸纏、斷諸垢、斷諸愛、斷諸意、斷邪見生正見、斷無明生明。比丘!如是觀眼無常,乃至如是知、如是見,次第無明斷,明生。」

時,彼比丘聞佛所說歡喜,歡喜已,作禮而去。

(二〇二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘往詣佛所,稽首佛足,白佛言:「世尊!云何知、云何見,次第我見斷,無我見生?」

佛告彼比丘:「于眼正觀無常,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦正觀無我。如是乃至意觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦正觀無我。比丘!如是知、如是見,次第我見斷,無我見生。」

時,彼比丘聞佛所說歡喜,歡喜已,作禮而去。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位特別的比丘來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁站立,對佛陀說:『世尊!如何知曉、如何觀察,才能次第快速地斷除煩惱?』 那時,世尊告訴那位比丘:『應當正確地觀察無常。什麼法是無常的呢?就是眼睛是無常的,以及色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,都應當觀察為無常。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念也應當觀察為無常。以及法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,它們也是無常的。比丘!像這樣知曉、像這樣觀察,就能次第地斷除有漏。』 當時,那位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地行禮后就離開了。 就像這樣,比丘所說的經文。如果有所區別,就是:『如何知曉、如何觀察,才能次第地斷除一切結縛,斷除一切束縛,斷除一切潛在的煩惱,斷除一切上層的煩惱,斷除一切結,斷除諸流,斷除諸軛,斷除諸取,斷除諸觸,斷除諸蓋,斷除諸纏,斷除諸垢,斷除諸愛,斷除諸意,斷除邪見而生起正見,斷除無明而生起光明。比丘!像這樣觀察眼睛是無常的,乃至像這樣知曉、像這樣觀察,就能次第地斷除無明,生起光明。』 當時,那位比丘聽了佛陀所說,感到歡喜,歡喜之後,行禮離開了。 (二〇二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位特別的比丘來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,對佛陀說:『世尊!如何知曉、如何觀察,才能次第地斷除我見,生起無我見?』 佛陀告訴那位比丘:『對於眼睛,要正確地觀察它是無常的,以及色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,也要正確地觀察它們是無我的。像這樣乃至意觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,也要正確地觀察它們是無我的。比丘!像這樣知曉、像這樣觀察,就能次第地斷除我見,生起無我見。』 當時,那位比丘聽了佛陀所說,感到歡喜,歡喜之後,行禮離開了。 (二〇三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離的耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園。

English version: At that time, a certain bhikkhu came to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and stood to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, how does one know, how does one see, so as to quickly attain the extinction of the outflows in due order?' Then, the Blessed One told that bhikkhu, 'One should rightly contemplate impermanence. What is impermanent? The eye is impermanent, as well as form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, should be contemplated as impermanent. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind should be contemplated as impermanent. And also, the mind-object, mind-consciousness, mind-contact, and the feeling born of mind-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, they are also impermanent. Bhikkhu, knowing and seeing in this way, one gradually exhausts the outflows.' At that time, that bhikkhu, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced, paid homage, and departed. Thus, this is the discourse spoken by the bhikkhu. If there is a difference, it is: 'How does one know, how does one see, so as to gradually extinguish all fetters, break all bonds, break all latent tendencies, break all higher defilements, break all knots, break all streams, break all yokes, break all attachments, break all contacts, break all hindrances, break all entanglements, break all impurities, break all cravings, break all intentions, break wrong views and give rise to right views, break ignorance and give rise to knowledge? Bhikkhu, by contemplating the eye as impermanent in this way, and knowing and seeing in this way, ignorance is gradually broken, and knowledge arises.' At that time, that bhikkhu, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced, and having rejoiced, paid homage and departed. (202) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, a certain bhikkhu went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, how does one know, how does one see, so as to gradually break the view of self and give rise to the view of no-self?' The Buddha told that bhikkhu, 'Regarding the eye, rightly contemplate it as impermanent, and also form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, rightly contemplate them as not-self. Likewise, up to the feeling born of mind-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, rightly contemplate them as not-self. Bhikkhu, knowing and seeing in this way, one gradually breaks the view of self and gives rise to the view of no-self.' At that time, that bhikkhu, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced, and having rejoiced, paid homage and departed. (203) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Mango Grove of Jivaka Komarabhacca, in Vesali.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若有比丘能斷一法者,則得正智,能自記說:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

諸比丘白佛言:「世尊是法根、法眼、法依。」唯愿演說,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。

佛告諸比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。諸比丘!云何一法斷故,乃至不受後有?所謂無明,離欲明生,得正智,能自記說:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

時,有異比丘從坐起,整衣服,偏袒右肩,為佛作禮,右膝著地,合掌白佛言:「世尊!云何知、云何見無明,離欲明生?」

佛告比丘:「當正觀察眼無常,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦正觀無常。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。比丘!如是知、如是見無明,離欲明生。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二〇四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園。

爾時,世尊告尊者阿難:「于眼當如實知、如實見,若眼、色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦如實知、如實見。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。彼如實知、如實見已,于眼生厭,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦生厭。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。厭已不樂,不樂已解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果有一位比丘能夠斷除一種法,就能獲得正智,能夠自己記述說:『我已不再受生,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有後來的生命。』 眾比丘對佛說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠。』唯愿您為我們演說,眾比丘聽了之後,應當接受並奉行。 佛告訴眾比丘:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。眾比丘!如何斷除一種法,乃至不再有後來的生命呢?那就是無明,當遠離慾望時,智慧就會產生,獲得正智,能夠自己記述說:『我已不再受生,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有後來的生命。』 當時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,袒露右肩,向佛行禮,右膝著地,合掌對佛說:『世尊!如何知道、如何見到無明,當遠離慾望時,智慧就會產生呢?』 佛告訴比丘:『應當正確觀察眼睛是無常的,如果色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,也要正確觀察它們是無常的。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。比丘!這樣知道、這樣見到無明,當遠離慾望時,智慧就會產生。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地接受並奉行。 (二〇四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在毗舍離的耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園。 當時,世尊告訴尊者阿難:『對於眼睛應當如實地知道、如實地見到,如果眼睛、色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,也要如實地知道、如實地見到。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。當如實地知道、如實地見到之後,就會對眼睛產生厭離,如果色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,也會產生厭離。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。厭離之後就不會貪戀,不貪戀就會解脫,解脫后就會知道:『我已不再受生,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有後來的生命。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地接受並奉行。

English version At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu can abandon one thing, he will attain right knowledge and be able to declare: 「Birth is exhausted, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.」' The bhikkhus said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, and the reliance of the Dharma.' We beseech you to expound it, and the bhikkhus, having heard it, will accept and practice it. The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. Bhikkhus! How does one abandon one thing and thus have no further existence? It is ignorance. When desire is abandoned, wisdom arises, and one attains right knowledge, and is able to declare: 「Birth is exhausted, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.」' Then, a certain bhikkhu rose from his seat, arranged his robe, bared his right shoulder, bowed to the Buddha, knelt on his right knee, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! How does one know and see ignorance, and how does wisdom arise when desire is abandoned?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'One should correctly observe that the eye is impermanent. If form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, one should also correctly observe that they are impermanent. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Bhikkhu! In this way, one knows and sees ignorance, and wisdom arises when desire is abandoned.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. (204) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Mango Grove of Jivaka Komarabhacca in Vesali. At that time, the World Honored One told the venerable Ananda: 'Regarding the eye, one should truly know and truly see. If the eye, form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, one should also truly know and truly see. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Having truly known and truly seen, one becomes disenchanted with the eye. If form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, one also becomes disenchanted with them. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Having become disenchanted, one does not crave, and not craving, one is liberated. Upon liberation, one knows: 「Birth is exhausted, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.」' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully accepted and practiced it.

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園。

爾時,世尊說一切優陀那偈已,告尊者阿難:「眼無常、苦、變易、異分法,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦無常、苦、變易、異分法。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。多聞聖弟子如是觀者,于眼得解脫,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,彼亦解脫。耳、鼻、舌、身、意法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼解脫,我說彼解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當修無量三摩提,精勤繫念。所以者何?修無量三摩提,精勤繫念已,則如實顯現。於何如實顯現?于眼如實顯現……」如是廣說,乃至「此諸法無常、有為,此如實顯現。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本 (二〇五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在毗舍離的耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園。 那時,世尊說完一切優陀那偈后,告訴尊者阿難:『眼睛是無常的、苦的、會變化的、分離的法。如果色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,它們也是無常的、苦的、會變化的、分離的法。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念也是如此。』多聞的聖弟子這樣觀察,就能在眼睛上得到解脫,對於色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,也能得到解脫。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念、意識、意觸、意觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,都能得到解脫。我說他們解脫了生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。 佛說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二〇六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在毗舍離城的耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當勤奮方便地禪思,使內心寂靜。為什麼呢?比丘們!勤奮方便地禪思,使內心寂靜,就能如實地知曉顯現。在什麼方面如實地知曉顯現呢?在眼睛方面如實地知曉顯現,對於色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,也如實地知曉顯現。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念也是如此。這些法是無常的、有為的,也如實地知曉顯現。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二〇七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在毗舍離的耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當修習無量三摩提,精勤地繫念。為什麼呢?修習無量三摩提,精勤地繫念后,就能如實地顯現。在什麼方面如實地顯現呢?在眼睛方面如實地顯現……』如此廣泛地說,乃至『這些法是無常的、有為的,這如實地顯現。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version (205) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Mango Grove of Jivaka Komarabhacca, the physician, in Vaishali. Then, after the Blessed One had spoken all the Udana verses, he said to the venerable Ananda: 'The eye is impermanent, suffering, subject to change, and a separate phenomenon. If feeling arises from the conditions of form, eye-consciousness, and eye-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, it is also impermanent, suffering, subject to change, and a separate phenomenon. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.' A well-learned noble disciple, observing in this way, attains liberation from the eye, and also liberation from form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling arising from the conditions of eye-contact. They are liberated from the ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, mind-consciousness, mind-contact, and the feeling arising from the conditions of mind-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant. I say they are liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and grief. After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (206) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Mango Grove of Jivaka Komarabhacca, the physician, in the city of Vaishali. Then, the Blessed One said to the monks: 'You should diligently practice meditation, calming your minds internally. Why is that? Monks! By diligently practicing meditation and calming your minds internally, you will truly know and see things as they are. In what way will you truly know and see things as they are? You will truly know and see things as they are in relation to the eye, and also in relation to form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling arising from the conditions of eye-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. These phenomena are impermanent and conditioned, and you will truly know and see them as they are.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (207) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Mango Grove of Jivaka Komarabhacca, the physician, in Vaishali. Then, the Blessed One said to the monks: 'You should cultivate immeasurable samadhi, diligently focusing your minds. Why is that? By cultivating immeasurable samadhi and diligently focusing your minds, things will truly appear as they are. In what way will things truly appear as they are? They will truly appear as they are in relation to the eye...' and so on, extensively, up to 'These phenomena are impermanent and conditioned, and this truly appears as it is.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.


(二〇八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去、未來眼無常,況現在眼。多聞聖弟子如是觀者,不顧過去眼,不欣未來眼,于現在眼厭、不樂、離欲、向厭。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如無常,苦、空、無我,亦如是說。

如內入處四經,如是外入處色、聲、香、味、觸、法四經,內外入處四經,亦如是說。

(二〇九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有六觸入處。云何為六?眼觸入處,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處。沙門、婆羅門於此六觸入處集、滅、味、患、離不如實知,當知是沙門、婆羅門去我法、律遠,如虛空與地。」

時,有異比丘從坐起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛言:「我具足如實知此六觸入處集、滅、味、患、離。」

佛告比丘:「我今問汝,汝隨問答我。比丘!汝見眼觸入處是我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!於此眼觸入處非我、非異我、不相在,如實知見者,不起諸漏、心不染著、心得解脫,是名初觸入處已斷、已知,斷其根本,如截多羅樹頭,于未來法永不復起,所謂眼識及色

現代漢語譯本 (二〇八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離的耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去和未來的眼是無常的,更何況現在的眼。多聞的聖弟子這樣觀察,就不會留戀過去的眼,不期盼未來的眼,對於現在的眼會感到厭惡、不喜、離欲、傾向於厭離。耳、鼻、舌、身、意也是如此。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 關於無常、苦、空、無我,也應該這樣說。 就像關於內入處的四部經一樣,關於外入處色、聲、香、味、觸、法的四部經,以及內外入處的四部經,也應該這樣說。 (二〇九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離的耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有六種觸入處。哪六種呢?眼觸入處,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處。沙門、婆羅門如果對於這六種觸入處的集起、滅盡、滋味、過患、出離不能如實知曉,應當知道這些沙門、婆羅門遠離我的法和律,就像虛空與大地一樣遙遠。』 這時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛陀說:『我完全如實地知道這六種觸入處的集起、滅盡、滋味、過患、出離。』 佛陀告訴比丘:『我現在問你,你隨我的問題回答。比丘!你認為眼觸入處是『我』、『異於我』、還是『與我相關』嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘:『很好!很好!對於這眼觸入處,如果能如實知見它不是『我』、不是『異於我』、也不是『與我相關』,就不會生起各種煩惱,心也不會被染著,心就能得到解脫,這就叫做最初的觸入處已經斷除、已經知曉,斷除了它的根本,就像砍斷多羅樹的樹頭一樣,對於未來的法永遠不會再產生,這裡所說的就是眼識和色。』

English version (208) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at Jīvaka Komārabhacca』s Mango Grove in Vesālī. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 『The eye of the past and future is impermanent, let alone the present eye. A well-learned noble disciple, observing thus, does not dwell on the past eye, does not rejoice in the future eye, and for the present eye, feels aversion, displeasure, detachment, and inclines towards aversion. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.』 Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Blessed One』s words, practiced accordingly. The same should be said about impermanence, suffering, emptiness, and non-self. Just as with the four discourses on the internal sense bases, so too with the four discourses on the external sense bases of form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and mental objects, and the four discourses on the internal and external sense bases. (209) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at Jīvaka Komārabhacca』s Mango Grove in Vesālī. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 『There are six sense bases of contact. What are the six? The sense base of eye contact, and the sense bases of ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind contact. If ascetics and brahmins do not truly understand the arising, cessation, gratification, danger, and escape from these six sense bases of contact, know that those ascetics and brahmins are far from my Dharma and Discipline, as far as the sky is from the earth.』 Then, a certain bhikkhu rose from his seat, arranged his robe, paid homage to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 『I fully and truly understand the arising, cessation, gratification, danger, and escape from these six sense bases of contact.』 The Buddha said to the bhikkhu: 『Now I will ask you, and you answer as I ask. Bhikkhu! Do you see the sense base of eye contact as 『I』, 『other than I』, or 『related to I』?』 He replied: 『No, Blessed One!』 The Buddha said to the bhikkhu: 『Good, good! If one truly knows and sees that this sense base of eye contact is not 『I』, not 『other than I』, and not 『related to I』, then no defilements arise, the mind is not attached, and the mind is liberated. This is called the first sense base of contact that has been abandoned and known, its root has been cut, like cutting off the top of a palmyra tree, and it will never arise again in the future, that is, eye consciousness and form.』


。汝見耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處是我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!于耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處非我、非異我、不相在,作如是如實知見者,不起諸漏、心不染著,以得解脫,是名比丘六觸入處已斷、已知,斷其根本,如截多羅樹頭,于未來世欲不復生,謂意識、法。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二一〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「莫樂莫苦。所以者何?有六觸入處地獄,眾生生彼地獄中者,眼所見不可愛色、不見可愛色,見不可念色、不見可念色,見不善色、不見善色,以是因緣故,一向受憂苦。耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意識法,見不可愛、不見可愛,見不可念、不見可念,見不善法、不見善法,以是因緣故,長受憂苦。

「諸比丘!有六觸入處,其有眾生生彼處者,眼見可愛、不見不可愛,見可念色、非不可念色,見善色、非不善色,以是因緣故,一向長受喜樂。耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意所識法,可愛非不可愛、可念非不可念、見善非不善。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二一一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園

現代漢語譯本:'你認為,眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意這六種感官的接觸之處,是屬於「我」,還是「非我」,還是與「我」相關聯呢?' 回答說:『不是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『很好!很好!對於眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意這六種感官的接觸之處,不認為是「我」,不認為是「非我」,也不認為與「我」相關聯,像這樣如實地知見,就不會產生各種煩惱,心也不會被染著,從而獲得解脫。這樣的比丘,就稱為已經斷除了六種感官的接觸之處,已經瞭解了它們的本質,斷除了它們的根本,就像砍斷了多羅樹的樹頭一樣,在未來世不會再產生,這裡指的是意識和法。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (二一〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離的耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『不要執著于快樂,也不要執著于痛苦。為什麼呢?因為有六種感官接觸之處的地獄,眾生生在那地獄中,眼睛所見都是不可愛的顏色,看不到可愛的顏色,看到不可思議的顏色,看不到可思議的顏色,看到不善的顏色,看不到善的顏色,因為這些原因,他們一直承受憂愁和痛苦。耳朵聽到的聲音、鼻子聞到的氣味、舌頭嚐到的味道、身體感受到的觸覺、意識所認識的法,都是不可愛的,看不到可愛的,都是不可思議的,看不到可思議的,都是不善的,看不到善的,因為這些原因,他們長期承受憂愁和痛苦。』 『諸位比丘!有六種感官接觸之處,如果眾生生在那地方,眼睛看到的是可愛的,看不到不可愛的,看到可思議的顏色,不是不可思議的顏色,看到善的顏色,不是不善的顏色,因為這些原因,他們一直承受喜悅和快樂。耳朵聽到的聲音、鼻子聞到的氣味、舌頭嚐到的味道、身體感受到的觸覺、意識所認識的法,都是可愛的,不是不可愛的,都是可思議的,不是不可思議的,看到的都是善的,不是不善的。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (二一一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離的耆婆拘摩羅藥師庵羅園。

English version: 'Do you see the places where the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind make contact as being 'me,' 'not me,' or related to 'me'?' They answered, 'No, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha told the monks, 'Excellent! Excellent! Regarding the places where the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind make contact, not considering them as 'me,' not considering them as 'not me,' and not considering them as related to 'me,' those who truly understand and see in this way will not give rise to defilements, their minds will not be attached, and they will attain liberation. Such a monk is said to have cut off and understood the six places of contact, having severed their root, like cutting off the top of a palmyra tree, so that they will not arise again in the future, referring to consciousness and phenomena.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (210) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jivaka Komarabhacca's Mango Grove in Vaishali. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'Do not be attached to pleasure, nor be attached to pain. Why is that? Because there are six places of contact that are like hell. Beings born in that hell see only unlovable colors with their eyes, not seeing lovable colors, seeing unthinkable colors, not seeing thinkable colors, seeing unwholesome colors, not seeing wholesome colors. Because of these reasons, they constantly experience sorrow and suffering. The sounds heard by the ears, the smells smelled by the nose, the tastes tasted by the tongue, the touches felt by the body, and the phenomena recognized by the mind are all unlovable, not seeing lovable ones, all unthinkable, not seeing thinkable ones, all unwholesome, not seeing wholesome ones. Because of these reasons, they endure sorrow and suffering for a long time.' 'Monks! There are six places of contact, and if beings are born in that place, their eyes see lovable colors, not seeing unlovable ones, seeing thinkable colors, not unthinkable ones, seeing wholesome colors, not unwholesome ones. Because of these reasons, they constantly experience joy and happiness. The sounds heard by the ears, the smells smelled by the nose, the tastes tasted by the tongue, the touches felt by the body, and the phenomena recognized by the mind are all lovable, not unlovable, all thinkable, not unthinkable, and all wholesome, not unwholesome.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (211) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jivaka Komarabhacca's Mango Grove in Vaishali.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我昔未成正覺時,獨一靜處,禪思思惟:『自心多向何處觀察?』自心多逐過去五欲功德,少逐現在五欲功德,逐未來世轉復微少;我觀多逐過去五欲心已,極生方便,精勤自護,不復令隨過去五欲功德。

「我以是精勤自護故,漸漸近阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。汝等諸比丘亦復多逐過去五欲功德,現在、未來亦復微少,汝今亦當以心多逐過去五欲功德故,增加自護,亦當不久得盡諸漏,無漏心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』

「所以者何?眼見色因緣生內受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂。耳、鼻、舌、身、意法因緣生內受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂。是故,比丘!于彼入處當覺知,若眼滅,色想則離。耳、鼻、舌、身、意滅,法想則離。」

佛說:「當覺六入處。」言已,入室坐禪。時,有眾多比丘,世尊去後,作此論議:「世尊為我等略說法要,不廣分別,而入室坐禪。世尊說言:『當覺六入處,若彼眼滅,色想則離;耳、鼻、舌、身、意滅,法想則離。』我等今日於世尊略說法中猶故不解,今此眾中,誰有慧力,能為我等於世尊略說法中廣為我等演說其義?」

復作是念:「唯有尊者阿難,常侍世尊,常為大師之所讚歎,聰慧梵行。唯有尊者阿難堪能為我等於世尊略說法中演說其義,我等今日皆共往詣尊者阿難所,問其要義,如阿難所說,悉當奉持。」

爾時,眾多比丘往詣尊者阿難所,共相問訊已,於一面坐

現代漢語譯本: 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我過去還未成就正覺時,獨自一人在安靜的地方,禪定思惟:』我的心大多傾向於觀察什麼呢?『我的心大多追逐過去的五欲功德,很少追逐現在的五欲功德,追逐未來的就更加微少了;我觀察到自己的心大多追逐過去的五欲后,就極力方便,精勤地自我守護,不再讓它隨著過去的五欲功德跑。』 『我因為這樣精勤地自我守護,就漸漸接近了無上正等正覺。你們這些比丘也大多追逐過去的五欲功德,現在和未來的就更加微少了,你們現在也應當因為心大多追逐過去的五欲功德,而增加自我守護,也應當不久就能斷盡一切煩惱,達到無煩惱的心解脫和智慧解脫,在今生就能親自證悟:』我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』 『為什麼呢?眼睛看到顏色,因緣和合產生內在的感受,可能是苦,可能是樂,也可能是不苦不樂。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識接觸外境,因緣和合產生內在的感受,可能是苦,可能是樂,也可能是不苦不樂。所以,比丘們!對於這些感受的來源應當覺知,如果眼睛滅了,對顏色的想法就消失了。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識滅了,對法的想法就消失了。』 佛說:『應當覺知六種感受的來源。』說完,就進入房間坐禪。當時,有很多比丘,世尊離開后,就議論說:『世尊為我們簡略地說了法要,沒有詳細地分別解釋,就進入房間坐禪了。世尊說:』應當覺知六種感受的來源,如果眼睛滅了,對顏色的想法就消失了;耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識滅了,對法的想法就消失了。『我們今天對於世尊簡略說的法仍然不理解,現在這裡,誰有智慧,能為我們詳細地解釋世尊簡略說的法義呢?』 又想到:『只有尊者阿難,經常侍奉世尊,經常被大師讚歎,聰明有智慧,修行清凈。只有尊者阿難能夠為我們解釋世尊簡略說的法義,我們今天都一起去尊者阿難那裡,請教其中的要義,按照阿難所說的,都應當奉行。』 那時,很多比丘就去尊者阿難那裡,互相問候之後,在一旁坐下。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'When I had not yet attained complete enlightenment, I was alone in a quiet place, meditating and contemplating: 'Where does my mind mostly tend to observe?' My mind mostly pursued the merits of past five desires, rarely pursued the merits of present five desires, and even less pursued those of the future; after observing that my mind mostly pursued past five desires, I made great effort, diligently protected myself, and no longer allowed it to follow the merits of past five desires.' 'Because of this diligent self-protection, I gradually approached Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. You bhikkhus also mostly pursue the merits of past five desires, and those of the present and future are even less. Now you should also, because your minds mostly pursue the merits of past five desires, increase your self-protection, and you should also soon be able to exhaust all defilements, attain the undefiled liberation of mind and liberation of wisdom, and realize for yourselves in this very life: 'Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.' 'Why is that? When the eye sees a form, conditions arise for internal feeling, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant. When the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind encounter objects, conditions arise for internal feeling, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant. Therefore, bhikkhus! You should be aware of the source of these feelings. If the eye ceases, the perception of form ceases. If the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind cease, the perception of dharma ceases.' The Buddha said: 'You should be aware of the six sources of input.' Having said this, he entered his room to meditate. At that time, many bhikkhus, after the World Honored One had left, discussed among themselves: 'The World Honored One briefly explained the essence of the Dharma to us, without elaborating, and then entered his room to meditate. The World Honored One said: 'You should be aware of the six sources of input. If the eye ceases, the perception of form ceases; if the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind cease, the perception of dharma ceases.' Today, we still do not understand the Dharma that the World Honored One briefly explained. Now, among us, who has the wisdom to explain the meaning of the World Honored One's brief teaching in detail?' They further thought: 'Only Venerable Ananda, who constantly attends the World Honored One, is often praised by the Master, is intelligent and wise, and practices the holy life. Only Venerable Ananda is capable of explaining the meaning of the World Honored One's brief teaching to us. Today, let us all go to Venerable Ananda, ask him about the essential meaning, and follow whatever Ananda says.' At that time, many bhikkhus went to Venerable Ananda, greeted him, and sat down on one side.


。白尊者阿難言:「尊者!當知世尊為我等略說法要,如上所說,具問阿難,當爲我等廣說其義。」

尊者阿難語諸比丘:「諦聽,善思,於世尊略說法中,當爲汝等廣說其義,世尊略說者,即是滅六入處有餘之說,故言:『眼處滅,色想則離;耳、鼻、舌、身、意入處滅,法想則離。』世尊略說此法已,入室坐禪,我今已為汝等分別說義。」

尊者阿難說此義已,諸比丘聞其所說,歡喜奉行。

(二一二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我不為一切比丘說不放逸行,亦非不為一切比丘說不放逸行。

「不向何等像類比丘說不放逸行?若比丘得阿羅漢,盡諸有漏,離諸重擔,逮得己利,盡諸有結,心正解脫。如是像類比丘,我不為說不放逸行。所以者何?彼諸比丘已作不放逸故,不復堪能作放逸事,我今見彼諸尊者得不放逸果,是故不為彼說不放逸行。

「為何等像類比丘說不放逸行?若諸比丘在學地者,未得心意增上安隱,向涅槃住,如是像類比丘,我為其說不放逸行。所以者何?以彼比丘習學諸根,心樂隨順資生之具,親近善友,不久當得盡諸有漏,無漏心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』所以者何?彼眼識所可愛樂、染著之色,彼比丘見已,不喜、不讚嘆、不染、不繫著住;以不喜、不讚嘆、不染、不著住故,專精勝進,身心止息,心安極住不忘,常定一心,無量法喜,但逮得第一三昧正受,終不退滅隨於眼色

現代漢語譯本:白尊者阿難說:『尊者!要知道世尊為我們略說了法要,就像上面所說的,詳細詢問了阿難,應當為我們廣說其中的含義。』 尊者阿難對眾比丘說:『仔細聽,好好思考,對於世尊略說的法要,我將為你們廣說其中的含義。世尊略說的,就是關於滅除六入處還有餘的說法,所以說:『眼處滅,色想就脫離;耳、鼻、舌、身、意入處滅,法想就脫離。』世尊略說此法后,就進入禪室坐禪了,我現在已經為你們分別解釋了其中的含義。』 尊者阿難說完這些含義后,眾比丘聽了他所說的,都歡喜地奉行。 (二一二) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我不是為一切比丘說不放逸的行為,也不是不為一切比丘說不放逸的行為。』 『不向哪種型別的比丘說不放逸的行為呢?如果比丘已經證得阿羅漢果,斷盡了一切煩惱,脫離了一切重擔,獲得了自身的利益,斷盡了一切結縛,心已得到真正的解脫。像這樣的比丘,我就不為他們說不放逸的行為。為什麼呢?因為這些比丘已經做到了不放逸,不再可能做出放逸的事情,我看到這些尊者已經得到了不放逸的果報,所以不為他們說不放逸的行為。』 『為哪種型別的比丘說不放逸的行為呢?如果比丘還在學習的階段,還沒有得到心意的增上安穩,正在向涅槃邁進,像這樣的比丘,我就為他們說不放逸的行為。為什麼呢?因為這些比丘學習調伏諸根,內心樂於順應生活所需,親近善友,不久就能斷盡一切煩惱,得到無漏的心解脫和智慧解脫,在今生就能親自證悟:『我已斷盡生死,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來生。』為什麼呢?因為他們看到眼睛所識別的可愛、令人貪戀的顏色時,不會喜歡、不會讚歎、不會貪染、不會執著;因為不喜、不讚嘆、不貪染、不執著,所以能專心精進,身心止息,心安住于極度平靜而不忘失,常常保持一心,獲得無量的法喜,最終獲得第一禪的正受,永遠不會因為眼色而退失。'

English version: Venerable Ananda said, 'Venerable ones! Know that the World-Honored One has briefly explained the essence of the Dharma to us, as mentioned above. Having questioned Ananda in detail, he should explain the meaning of it to us in detail.' Venerable Ananda said to the monks, 'Listen carefully and contemplate well. Regarding the Dharma that the World-Honored One has briefly explained, I will explain its meaning to you in detail. What the World-Honored One briefly explained is about the remaining aspects of the cessation of the six sense bases. Therefore, it is said: 『When the eye base ceases, the perception of form is detached; when the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind bases cease, the perception of dharma is detached.』 After the World-Honored One briefly explained this Dharma, he entered his chamber to meditate. Now, I have already explained the meaning of it to you separately.' After Venerable Ananda explained this meaning, the monks, having heard what he said, joyfully practiced it. (Two hundred and twelve) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'I do not teach the practice of non-negligence to all monks, nor do I not teach the practice of non-negligence to all monks.' 'To what kind of monks do I not teach the practice of non-negligence? If a monk has attained Arhatship, has exhausted all defilements, has cast off all burdens, has attained his own benefit, has exhausted all fetters, and whose mind is truly liberated. To such a monk, I do not teach the practice of non-negligence. Why is that? Because these monks have already practiced non-negligence, and are no longer capable of acting negligently. I see that these venerable ones have already attained the fruit of non-negligence, therefore I do not teach them the practice of non-negligence.' 'To what kind of monks do I teach the practice of non-negligence? If monks are still in the stage of learning, have not yet attained the supreme peace of mind, and are progressing towards Nirvana, to such monks, I teach the practice of non-negligence. Why is that? Because these monks are learning to subdue their senses, their minds are inclined to follow the necessities of life, they associate with good friends, and soon they will be able to exhaust all defilements, attain the undefiled liberation of mind and wisdom, and in this very life, they will realize for themselves: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』 Why is that? Because when they see colors that are pleasing and attractive to the eye, they do not like them, do not praise them, do not become attached to them, and do not cling to them; because they do not like them, do not praise them, do not become attached to them, and do not cling to them, they can focus their efforts, their bodies and minds are at rest, their minds are at peace and do not forget, they always maintain a single-pointed mind, they attain immeasurable joy in the Dharma, and ultimately attain the correct reception of the first dhyana, and will never regress due to the colors of the eye.'


。于耳、鼻、舌、身、意識法亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二一三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當爲汝等演說二法。諦聽,善思。何等為二?眼、色為二。耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法為二,是名二法。

「若有沙門、婆羅門作如是說:『是非二者,沙門瞿曇所說二法,此非為二。』彼自以意說二法者,但有言說,聞已不知,增其疑惑,以非其境界故。

「所以者何?緣眼、色,眼識生,三事和合,緣觸觸生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂。若於此受集、受滅、受味、受患、受離不如實知者,種貪慾身觸、種瞋恚身觸、種戒取身觸、種我見身觸,亦種殖增長諸惡不善法。如是純大苦集皆從集生,如是耳、鼻、舌、身,意、法緣,生意識,三事和合觸……」廣說如上。

「複次,眼緣色,生眼識,三事和合觸,觸緣受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,於此諸受集、滅、味、患、離如是知。如是知已,不種貪慾身觸、不種瞋恚身觸、不種戒取身觸、不種我見身觸、不種諸惡不善法。如是諸惡不善法滅,純大苦聚滅。耳、鼻、舌、身、意法亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二一四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有二因緣生識。何等為二?謂眼色、耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法……」如是廣說,乃至「非其境界故

現代漢語譯本:對於耳、鼻、舌、身、意識的法也是如此。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二一三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我將為你們演說二法。仔細聽,好好思考。什麼是二法呢?眼和色是二法。耳和聲、鼻和香、舌和味、身和觸、意和法是二法,這稱為二法。』 『如果有沙門、婆羅門這樣說:『這不是二法,沙門瞿曇所說的二法,這不是二法。』他們自己以自己的想法說二法,只是說說而已,聽了也不明白,反而增加他們的疑惑,因為這不是他們所能理解的境界。 『為什麼呢?因為緣于眼和色,產生眼識,三者和合,緣于觸而產生感受,有苦、有樂、不苦不樂。如果對於這種感受的產生、滅亡、滋味、禍患、解脫不能如實知曉,就會種下貪慾的身觸、瞋恚的身觸、戒取的身觸、我見的身觸,也會種下並增長各種惡的不善法。這樣,純粹的大苦聚集都是從聚集而產生的。耳、鼻、舌、身,意和法也是如此,緣於它們產生意識,三者和合產生觸……』(以下內容如上所述)。 『再次,眼緣於色,產生眼識,三者和合產生觸,觸緣于感受,有苦、有樂、不苦不樂,對於這些感受的產生、滅亡、滋味、禍患、解脫如實知曉。這樣知曉后,就不會種下貪慾的身觸、瞋恚的身觸、戒取的身觸、我見的身觸,也不會種下各種惡的不善法。這樣,各種惡的不善法就會滅除,純粹的大苦聚集也會滅除。耳、鼻、舌、身、意和法也是如此。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二一四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有兩種因緣產生識。哪兩種呢?就是眼和色、耳和聲、鼻和香、舌和味、身和觸、意和法……』(以下內容如上所述),乃至『因為這不是他們所能理解的境界。』

English version: The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and consciousness-objects. Having heard the Buddha's discourse, the monks rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (213) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'I will teach you about two things. Listen carefully and contemplate well. What are the two? The eye and forms are two. The ear and sounds, the nose and smells, the tongue and tastes, the body and tactile objects, the mind and mental objects are two. These are called the two things.' 'If there are ascetics or brahmins who say: 『These are not two things. The two things that the ascetic Gotama speaks of, these are not two.』 They themselves, with their own ideas, speak of two things, but it is just talk. Having heard it, they do not understand, and their doubts increase, because it is not within their realm of understanding.' 'Why is that? Because, conditioned by the eye and forms, eye-consciousness arises. The three come together, and conditioned by contact, feeling arises, whether it is pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant. If one does not truly understand the arising, cessation, gratification, danger, and escape from this feeling, one plants the seeds of craving-contact, aversion-contact, clinging-contact, and self-view-contact. One also plants and increases all evil and unwholesome states. Thus, a great mass of suffering arises from this accumulation. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, conditioned by objects, consciousness arises, the three come together to produce contact…' (as described above). 'Furthermore, conditioned by the eye and forms, eye-consciousness arises. The three come together to produce contact, and conditioned by contact, feeling arises, whether it is pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant. One truly understands the arising, cessation, gratification, danger, and escape from these feelings. Having understood this, one does not plant the seeds of craving-contact, aversion-contact, clinging-contact, or self-view-contact. One does not plant any evil or unwholesome states. Thus, these evil and unwholesome states cease, and the great mass of suffering ceases. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind and their objects.' Having heard the Buddha's discourse, the monks rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (214) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'There are two conditions for the arising of consciousness. What are the two? They are the eye and forms, the ear and sounds, the nose and smells, the tongue and tastes, the body and tactile objects, the mind and mental objects…' (as described above), up to 『because it is not within their realm of understanding.』


。所以者何?眼、色因緣生眼識,彼無常、有為、心緣生,色若眼、識,無常、有為、心緣生,此三法和合觸,觸已受,受已思,思已想,此等諸法無常、有為、心緣生,所謂觸、想、思。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者富留那比丘往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊說現法、說滅熾然、說不待時、說正向、說即此見、說緣自覺。世尊!云何為現法,乃至緣自覺?」

佛告富留那:「善哉!富留那!能作此問。富留那!諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。富留那!比丘眼見色已,覺知色、覺知色貪,我此內有眼識色貪,我此內有眼識色貪如實知。富留那!若眼見色已,覺知色、覺知色貪,我此內有眼識色貪如實知者,是名現見法。

「云何滅熾然?云何不待時?云何正向?云何即此見?云何緣自覺?富留那!比丘眼見色已,覺知色,不起色貪覺,我無有內眼識色貪,不起色貪覺,如實知。若,富留那!比丘眼見色已,覺知已,不起色貪覺,如實知色,不起色貪覺如實知,是名滅熾然、不待時、正向、即此見、緣自覺。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。」

這是什麼原因呢?眼睛和顏色相互作用產生眼識,眼識是無常的、有為的、由心所緣而生的。顏色、眼睛和眼識都是無常的、有為的、由心所緣而生的。這三種法和合產生觸,有了觸就有了感受,有了感受就有了思,有了思就有了想。這些法都是無常的、有為的、由心所緣而生的,所謂的觸、想、思。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (二一五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者富留那比丘前往佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊說現法、說滅熾然、說不待時、說正向、說即此見、說緣自覺。世尊!什麼是現法,乃至緣自覺呢?』 佛陀告訴富留那:『很好!富留那!你能提出這個問題。富留那!仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。富留那!比丘眼睛看到顏色后,覺知顏色、覺知對顏色的貪慾,他如實知道自己內心有眼識對顏色的貪慾。富留那!如果眼睛看到顏色后,覺知顏色、覺知對顏色的貪慾,他如實知道自己內心有眼識對顏色的貪慾,這就叫做現見法。』 『什麼是滅熾然?什麼是不待時?什麼是正向?什麼是即此見?什麼是緣自覺?富留那!比丘眼睛看到顏色后,覺知顏色,不生起對顏色的貪慾,他如實知道自己內心沒有眼識對顏色的貪慾,不生起對顏色的貪慾。如果,富留那!比丘眼睛看到顏色后,覺知后,不生起對顏色的貪慾,如實知道顏色,不生起對顏色的貪慾,這就叫做滅熾然、不待時、正向、即此見、緣自覺。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。』 佛陀說完這部經后,富留那比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (二一六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『所謂的大海,是愚夫所說的,不是聖人所說的,這只是大小不同的水而已。』

What is the reason for this? Eye and color, through their interaction, give rise to eye-consciousness. This eye-consciousness is impermanent, conditioned, and arises from mental engagement. Color, eye, and eye-consciousness are all impermanent, conditioned, and arise from mental engagement. The combination of these three gives rise to contact. With contact, there is feeling; with feeling, there is thought; with thought, there is ideation. These phenomena are all impermanent, conditioned, and arise from mental engagement, namely contact, ideation, and thought. The same is true for ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (215) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the Venerable Purna Bhikshu went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and then withdrew to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'The World-Honored One speaks of the present dharma, speaks of extinguishing the burning, speaks of not waiting for time, speaks of directness, speaks of seeing it here and now, speaks of self-realization through conditions. World-Honored One! What is the present dharma, and what is self-realization through conditions?' The Buddha said to Purna: 'Excellent, Purna! You are able to ask this question. Purna! Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. Purna! When a monk sees a color with his eye, he is aware of the color, aware of the craving for the color, and he truly knows that within him there is eye-consciousness with craving for the color. Purna! If, when the eye sees a color, he is aware of the color, aware of the craving for the color, and he truly knows that within him there is eye-consciousness with craving for the color, this is called seeing the dharma in the present.' 'What is extinguishing the burning? What is not waiting for time? What is directness? What is seeing it here and now? What is self-realization through conditions? Purna! When a monk sees a color with his eye, he is aware of the color, and he does not give rise to craving for the color. He truly knows that within him there is no eye-consciousness with craving for the color, and he does not give rise to craving for the color. If, Purna! When a monk sees a color with his eye, he is aware of it, and he does not give rise to craving for the color, he truly knows the color, and he does not give rise to craving for the color, this is called extinguishing the burning, not waiting for time, directness, seeing it here and now, and self-realization through conditions. The same is true for ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Purna Bhikshu, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (216) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One said to the monks: 'What is called the great ocean is spoken of by fools, not by the wise. It is merely water of varying sizes.'


。云何聖所說海?謂眼識色已,愛念、深著,貪樂身、口、意業,是名為海。一切世間阿修羅眾,乃至天、人,悉于其中貪樂沉沒,如狗肚藏,如亂草蘊,此世、他世絞結纏鎖,亦復如是。耳識聲、鼻識香、舌識味、身識觸,此世、他世絞結纏鎖,亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如身、口、意業,如是貪、恚、癡,老、病、死,亦如是說。如五根三經,六根三經,亦如是說。

(二一七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「所謂海者,世間愚夫所說,非聖所說。海大小水耳,眼是人大海,彼色為濤波。若能堪色濤波者,得度眼大海,竟於濤波回澓諸水、惡蟲、羅剎女鬼。耳、鼻、舌、身、意是人大海,聲、香、味、觸、法為濤波,若堪忍彼法濤波,得度于意海,竟於濤波回澓、惡蟲、羅剎女鬼。」

爾時,世尊以偈頌曰:

「大海巨濤波,  惡蟲羅剎怖,  難度而能度,  集離永無餘,  能斷一切苦,  不復受余有,  永之般涅槃,  不復還放逸。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二一八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當爲汝等說苦集道跡、苦滅道跡。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。

「云何苦集道跡?緣眼、色,生眼識,三事和合觸,緣觸受,緣受愛,緣愛取,緣取有,緣有生,緣生老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦集,如是

現代漢語譯本:什麼是聖人所說的『海』呢?是指眼睛接觸到顏色后,產生愛戀、深深執著,貪圖身、口、意的行為,這被稱為『海』。世間所有的阿修羅眾,乃至天人和人類,都沉溺於其中,就像狗的肚子藏著東西,像雜亂的草堆一樣,今生和來世都被糾纏束縛,也是如此。耳朵接觸到聲音、鼻子接觸到氣味、舌頭接觸到味道、身體接觸到觸感,今生和來世都被糾纏束縛,也是如此。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 像身、口、意業一樣,貪、嗔、癡,老、病、死,也都是這樣說的。像五根的三種經文,六根的三種經文,也都是這樣說的。 (二一七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『所謂的海,是世間愚昧之人所說的,不是聖人所說的。海只是大小的水而已,眼睛才是人的大海,顏色是那裡的波濤。如果能夠承受顏色的波濤,就能渡過眼睛的大海,最終擺脫波濤、迴旋的水流、惡蟲和羅剎女鬼。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識是人的大海,聲音、氣味、味道、觸感、法是那裡的波濤,如果能夠忍受這些法的波濤,就能渡過意識的大海,最終擺脫波濤、迴旋、惡蟲和羅剎女鬼。』 那時,世尊用偈頌說道: 『大海有巨大的波濤,惡蟲和羅剎令人恐懼,難以渡過卻能渡過,聚集和分離都永遠消失,能夠斷除一切痛苦,不再承受其他的存在,永遠進入涅槃,不再放縱。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (二一八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要為你們說苦的集起之道和苦的滅盡之道。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。』 『什麼是苦的集起之道呢?以眼睛和顏色為緣,產生眼識,這三者和合為觸,以觸為緣產生感受,以感受為緣產生愛,以愛為緣產生執取,以執取為緣產生有,以有為緣產生生,以生為緣產生老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦的聚集,就是這樣。

English version: What is the 'sea' spoken of by the sages? It refers to the love, deep attachment, and craving of body, speech, and mind that arise when the eye perceives a color. This is called the 'sea.' All the Asura beings in the world, even gods and humans, are submerged in it, like something hidden in a dog's belly, like a tangled pile of grass. This life and the next are intertwined and bound, just like that. The ear's perception of sound, the nose's perception of smell, the tongue's perception of taste, and the body's perception of touch, this life and the next are intertwined and bound, just like that. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. Just like the actions of body, speech, and mind, so too are greed, hatred, and delusion, old age, sickness, and death spoken of. Just like the three sutras of the five senses, so too are the three sutras of the six senses spoken of. (217) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One said to the monks, 'The so-called sea is what worldly fools speak of, not what the sages speak of. The sea is just large and small bodies of water. The eye is the great sea of a person, and colors are its waves. If one can withstand the waves of color, one can cross the sea of the eye, ultimately escaping the waves, the swirling waters, the evil insects, and the Rakshasa female ghosts. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are the great seas of a person, and sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and dharmas are their waves. If one can endure the waves of these dharmas, one can cross the sea of the mind, ultimately escaping the waves, the swirling waters, the evil insects, and the Rakshasa female ghosts.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'The great sea has huge waves, evil insects and Rakshasas are frightening, difficult to cross yet able to be crossed, gathering and separation are forever gone, able to cut off all suffering, no longer receiving other existences, eternally entering Nirvana, no longer indulging in carelessness.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (218) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One said to the monks, 'I will now explain to you the path of the arising of suffering and the path of the cessation of suffering. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.' 'What is the path of the arising of suffering? Conditioned by the eye and colors, eye-consciousness arises. The union of these three is contact. Conditioned by contact, feeling arises. Conditioned by feeling, craving arises. Conditioned by craving, grasping arises. Conditioned by grasping, becoming arises. Conditioned by becoming, birth arises. Conditioned by birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair arise. This is how suffering arises.'


。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。是名苦集道跡。

「云何苦滅道跡?緣眼、色,生眼識,三事和合觸,觸滅則受滅,受滅則愛滅,愛滅則取滅,取滅則有滅,有滅則生滅,生滅則老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,如是純大苦聚滅。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說,是名苦滅道跡。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二一九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說涅槃道跡。云何為涅槃道跡?謂觀察眼無常,若色、眼識、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦無常。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是,是名涅槃道跡。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二二〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有似趣涅槃道跡。云何為似趣涅槃道跡?觀察眼非我,若色、眼識、眼觸因緣生受,若內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦觀察無常。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是,是名似趣涅槃道跡。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二二一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有趣一切取道跡。云何為趣一切取道跡?緣眼、色,生眼識,三事和合觸,觸緣受,受緣愛,愛緣取,取所取故。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。取所取故,是名趣一切取道跡

現代漢語譯本:耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。這被稱為苦的集起之道。 『什麼是苦的止息之道呢?』因為眼睛和顏色,產生眼識,三者和合產生觸覺,觸覺滅則感受滅,感受滅則愛慾滅,愛慾滅則執取滅,執取滅則存在滅,存在滅則生滅,生滅則衰老、疾病、死亡、憂愁、悲傷、煩惱、痛苦都滅,這樣純粹巨大的苦聚就滅了。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是這樣說的,這被稱為苦的止息之道。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二一九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說涅槃之道。什麼是涅槃之道呢?』就是觀察眼睛是無常的,如果顏色、眼識、眼觸因緣產生感受,內在感覺無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,它們也是無常的。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此,這被稱為涅槃之道。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二二〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有類似趨向涅槃之道。什麼是類似趨向涅槃之道呢?』觀察眼睛不是我,如果顏色、眼識、眼觸因緣產生感受,內在感覺無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,也觀察它們是無常的。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此,這被稱為類似趨向涅槃之道。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二二一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有趨向一切執取的道。什麼是趨向一切執取的道呢?』因為眼睛和顏色,產生眼識,三者和合產生觸覺,觸覺緣起感受,感受緣起愛慾,愛慾緣起執取,因為執取所執取。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。因為執取所執取,這被稱為趨向一切執取的道。

English version: The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same. This is called the path of the arising of suffering. 'What is the path of the cessation of suffering?' Because of the eye and form, eye-consciousness arises; the union of these three is contact. When contact ceases, feeling ceases; when feeling ceases, craving ceases; when craving ceases, grasping ceases; when grasping ceases, becoming ceases; when becoming ceases, birth ceases; when birth ceases, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering cease. Thus, this entire great mass of suffering ceases. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also spoken of in the same way. This is called the path of the cessation of suffering. After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (219) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'I will now speak of the path to Nirvana. What is the path to Nirvana?' It is observing that the eye is impermanent. If feeling arises from the conditions of form, eye-consciousness, and eye-contact, whether the inner feeling is pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant, it is also impermanent. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same. This is called the path to Nirvana. After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (220) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'There is something similar to the path leading to Nirvana. What is similar to the path leading to Nirvana?' It is observing that the eye is not self. If feeling arises from the conditions of form, eye-consciousness, and eye-contact, whether the inner feeling is pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant, it is also observed as impermanent. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same. This is called something similar to the path leading to Nirvana. After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (221) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'There is a path that leads to all grasping. What is the path that leads to all grasping?' Because of the eye and form, eye-consciousness arises; the union of these three is contact. Contact conditions feeling, feeling conditions craving, craving conditions grasping, and because of grasping, there is what is grasped. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same. Because of grasping, there is what is grasped. This is called the path that leads to all grasping.'


「云何斷一切取道跡?緣眼、色,生眼識,三事和合觸,觸滅則受滅,受滅則愛滅,愛滅則取滅;如是知耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二二二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當知一切知法、一切識法。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。

「云何一切知法、一切識法?諸比丘!眼是知法、識法,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼一切是知法、識法。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二二三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我不說一法不知、不識而得究竟苦邊。云何不說一法不知、不識而得究竟苦邊?謂不說于眼不知、不識而得究竟苦邊,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂亦復不說,不知不見而得究竟苦邊。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二二四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「一切欲法應當斷。云何一切欲法應當斷?謂眼是一切欲法應當斷,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼一切欲法應當斷。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本 『如何斷除一切執取的道路和軌跡呢?』因為眼睛和顏色,產生眼識,這三者結合產生觸覺,觸覺滅則感受滅,感受滅則愛慾滅,愛慾滅則執取滅;如此可知,耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (二二二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當知道一切知法、一切識法。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。』 『什麼是一切知法、一切識法呢?』諸位比丘!眼睛是知法、識法,如果顏色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感覺無論是苦、樂、不苦不樂,這一切都是知法、識法。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (二二三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我不說有一種法,不知、不識就能達到究竟的苦的盡頭。』『為什麼說不是有一種法,不知、不識就能達到究竟的苦的盡頭呢?』就是說,如果對眼睛不知、不識,就不能達到究竟的苦的盡頭,如果對顏色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感覺無論是苦、樂、不苦不樂,也不知、不見,就不能達到究竟的苦的盡頭。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (二二四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『一切欲法都應當斷除。』『什麼是一切欲法應當斷除呢?』就是說,眼睛是一切欲法應當斷除的,如果顏色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感覺無論是苦、樂、不苦不樂,這一切欲法都應當斷除。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

English version 'How does one cut off all paths and traces of grasping?' Because of the eye and form, eye-consciousness arises; the union of these three is contact. When contact ceases, feeling ceases; when feeling ceases, craving ceases; when craving ceases, grasping ceases. Thus it is known that the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same. After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (222) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'You should know all things that are known and all things that are cognized. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.' 'What are all things that are known and all things that are cognized?' Monks! The eye is a thing that is known and a thing that is cognized. If form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is felt as pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant, all of these are things that are known and things that are cognized. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same. After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (223) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'I do not say that there is one thing that, without knowing or cognizing it, one can reach the ultimate end of suffering.' 'Why do I say that there is not one thing that, without knowing or cognizing it, one can reach the ultimate end of suffering?' It is because if one does not know or cognize the eye, one cannot reach the ultimate end of suffering. If one does not know or see form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is felt as pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant, one cannot reach the ultimate end of suffering. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same. After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (224) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'All things of desire should be abandoned.' 'What are all things of desire that should be abandoned?' It is said that the eye is a thing of desire that should be abandoned. If form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is felt as pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant, all of these things of desire should be abandoned. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same. After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我不說一法不知、不斷而究竟苦邊。云何不說一法不知、不斷而究竟苦邊?謂不說眼不知、不斷而究竟苦邊,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼一切不說不知、不斷而究竟苦邊。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。」

「如是不計者,于諸世間常無所取,無所取故無所著,無所著故自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「計者是病,計者是癰,計者是刺,如來以不計住故,離病、離癰、離刺

現代漢語譯本 (二二五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我不說對於一法不知、不斷就能究竟苦的邊際。為什麼說對於一法不知、不斷不能究竟苦的邊際呢?就是說對於眼不知、不斷不能究竟苦的邊際,對於色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,對於這一切,如果不知、不斷,就不能究竟苦的邊際。耳、鼻、舌、身、意也是如此。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (二二六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說斷除一切計執。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。』 『什麼是不計執呢?就是不執著於我見色,不執著于眼是我的所有,不執著於它們之間的相屬關係,對於色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,也不執著於樂是我、我的所有,不執著於樂的相屬關係;對於耳、鼻、舌、身、意也是如此。』 『像這樣不執著的人,對於世間的一切事物都無所求取,因為無所求取所以無所執著,因為無所執著所以能自覺涅槃:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有後世的生命。』』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 如上面所說,對於眼等不執著,對於一切事物不執著也是如此。 (二二七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『執著是病,執著是癰,執著是刺,如來因為不執著而住,所以遠離病、遠離癰、遠離刺。

English version (225) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Jeta Grove in Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'I do not say that by not knowing or not abandoning one thing, one can reach the end of suffering. Why do I say that by not knowing or not abandoning one thing, one cannot reach the end of suffering? It is because I do not say that by not knowing or not abandoning the eye, one can reach the end of suffering; nor by not knowing or not abandoning form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, or the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is felt as pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant, can one reach the end of suffering. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks were delighted and practiced the teachings of the Buddha. (226) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Jeta Grove in Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'I will now teach you how to abandon all attachments. Listen carefully and contemplate well, and I will explain it to you.' 'What is non-attachment? It is not attaching to the view that 'I' see form, not attaching to the eye as 'mine', not attaching to their relationship. Regarding form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is felt as pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant, one does not attach to the pleasant as 'me' or 'mine', nor to their relationship. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.' 'One who does not attach in this way has no craving for anything in the world. Because there is no craving, there is no clinging. Because there is no clinging, one realizes Nirvana: 'Birth is exhausted, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, and there is no more future existence.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks were delighted and practiced the teachings of the Buddha. As mentioned above, not attaching to the eye, etc., is the same as not attaching to all things. (227) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Jeta Grove in Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'Attachment is a disease, attachment is a boil, attachment is a thorn. The Tathagata dwells without attachment, therefore, he is free from disease, free from boils, and free from thorns.'


「是故,比丘欲求不計住,離病、離癰、離刺者,彼比丘莫計眼我、我所,莫計眼相屬,莫計色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦莫計是我、我所、相在。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。

「比丘!如是不計者,則無所取,無所取故無所著,無所著故自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如眼等所說,餘一一事亦如是。

(二二八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說增長法、滅法。云何增長法?謂緣眼、色、生眼識,三事和合觸,觸緣受……」廣說乃至「純大苦聚集,是名增長法。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是,是名增長法。

「云何滅法,緣眼、色,生眼識,三事和合觸,觸滅則受滅……」廣說乃至「純大苦聚滅。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是,是名損減法。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如增長、損減,如是起法、處變易法、集法、滅法,亦如上說。

(二二九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說有漏、無漏法。云何有漏法?謂眼色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂。耳、鼻、舌、身、意法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,世俗者,是名有漏法

現代漢語譯本: 『因此,比丘如果想要不執著于住處,遠離疾病、癰瘡、毒刺,那麼這位比丘就不應該執著于眼睛是我或我所擁有的,不應該執著于眼睛與什麼相關聯,不應該執著於色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,他都不應該執著于這些是我、我所擁有的、或與我相關聯的。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。 『比丘!像這樣不執著的人,就不會有所取,因為沒有所取所以沒有執著,因為沒有執著所以能自覺涅槃:『我的生命已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來世。』 佛陀說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 就像上面所說的眼睛等,其餘每一件事也是如此。 (二二八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說增長法和滅法。什麼是增長法?就是以眼睛和顏色為緣,產生眼識,這三者和合產生觸,觸緣于感受……』廣泛地說,直到『純粹的大苦聚集,這叫做增長法。』耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此,這叫做增長法。 『什麼是滅法?以眼睛和顏色為緣,產生眼識,這三者和合產生觸,觸滅則感受滅……』廣泛地說,直到『純粹的大苦聚集滅。』耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此,這叫做損減法。 佛陀說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 就像增長和損減一樣,生起法、處變易法、集法、滅法,也像上面所說。 (二二九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說有漏法和無漏法。什麼是有漏法?就是眼睛、顏色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識、意觸、意觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,這些世俗的,叫做有漏法。』

English version: 'Therefore, if a bhikkhu wishes to be free from attachment to dwelling, free from disease, sores, and thorns, that bhikkhu should not consider the eye as 'I' or 'mine,' should not consider the eye as related to anything, should not consider form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, or the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant, as 'I,' 'mine,' or related to 'I.' The same applies to the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. 'Bhikkhus! One who does not consider in this way has no grasping, because there is no grasping there is no attachment, and because there is no attachment, one realizes Nirvana: 'Birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, and there is no more coming to be.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's words. As it is said about the eye, so it is with each of the other things. (228) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's monastery, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'I will now teach you about the way of increase and the way of decrease. What is the way of increase? It is when, conditioned by the eye and forms, eye-consciousness arises, and the contact of these three things gives rise to feeling...' and so on, up to 'the arising of a mass of pure suffering, this is called the way of increase.' The same applies to the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, this is called the way of increase. 'What is the way of decrease? It is when, conditioned by the eye and forms, eye-consciousness arises, and the cessation of contact leads to the cessation of feeling...' and so on, up to 'the cessation of a mass of pure suffering. The same applies to the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, this is called the way of decrease.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's words. Just as with increase and decrease, so it is with the way of arising, the way of change, the way of accumulation, and the way of cessation, as described above. (229) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's monastery, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'I will now teach you about the defiled and the undefiled. What are the defiled? They are the eye, forms, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant. The same applies to the ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, mind-consciousness, mind-contact, and the feeling born of mind-contact, whether it is pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant. These worldly things are called the defiled.'


「云何無漏法?謂出世間意,若法、若意識、意觸、意觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,出世間者,是名無漏法。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有比丘名三彌離提,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!所謂世間者,云何名世間?」

佛告三彌離提:「謂眼、色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂。耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,是名世間。所以者何?六入處集則觸集,如是乃至純大苦聚集。

「三彌離提!若無彼眼、無色、無眼識、無眼觸、無眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂;無耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、若不苦不樂者,則無世間,亦不施設世間。所以者何?六入處滅則觸滅,如是乃至純大苦聚滅故。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如世間。如是眾生、如是魔,亦如是說。

(二三一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 『什麼是無漏法?』指的是出世間的意念,以及由此產生的法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、樂還是不苦不樂,這些出世間的狀態,就稱為無漏法。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。

(二三〇)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位名叫三彌離提的比丘,前往佛陀的住所,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!所謂的世間,是什麼意思呢?』

佛陀告訴三彌離提:『所謂的世間,指的是眼、色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、樂還是不苦不樂。以及耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、樂還是不苦不樂,這些就稱為世間。為什麼呢?因為六入處聚集,觸就聚集,如此乃至純粹的大苦聚集。

『三彌離提!如果沒有眼、沒有色、沒有眼識、沒有眼觸、沒有眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、樂還是不苦不樂;沒有耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、樂還是不苦不樂,那就沒有世間,也不存在世間的概念。為什麼呢?因為六入處滅,觸就滅,如此乃至純粹的大苦聚集也滅。』

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。

如同世間一樣,關於眾生、關於魔,也應該這樣解釋。

(二三一)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version 'What is the undefiled dharma?' It refers to the supramundane intention, and the dharma, consciousness, mental contact, and the feelings arising from the conditions of mental contact, the inner sensations whether they are painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant. These supramundane states are called undefiled dharma. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.

Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Volume 8 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 02, No. 0099, Miscellaneous Agama Sutra

Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Volume 9

Translated by Tripitaka Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

(230)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.

At that time, there was a monk named Samidhit, who went to the Buddha's place, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'Venerable One! What is meant by the term 'world'?'

The Buddha said to Samidhit: 'The so-called world refers to the eye, form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feelings arising from the conditions of eye-contact, the inner sensations whether they are painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant. And the ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, dharma, mind-consciousness, mind-contact, and the feelings arising from the conditions of mind-contact, the inner sensations whether they are painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant. These are called the world. Why is that? Because when the six sense bases gather, contact gathers, and so on, up to the gathering of pure great suffering.

'Samidhit! If there were no eye, no form, no eye-consciousness, no eye-contact, no feelings arising from the conditions of eye-contact, the inner sensations whether they are painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant; no ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, dharma, mind-consciousness, mind-contact, no feelings arising from the conditions of mind-contact, the inner sensations whether they are painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, then there would be no world, nor would the concept of the world exist. Why is that? Because when the six sense bases cease, contact ceases, and so on, up to the cessation of the gathering of pure great suffering.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.

Just as with the world, so too should it be explained regarding beings and regarding Mara.

(231)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.


時,有比丘名三彌離提,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!所謂世間者,云何名世間?」

佛告三彌離提:「危脆敗壞,是名世間。云何危脆敗壞?三彌離提!眼是危脆敗壞法,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼一切亦是危脆敗壞。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。是說危脆敗壞法,名為世間。」

時,有比丘名三彌離提,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!所謂世間空,云何名為世間空?」

佛告三彌離提:「眼空,常、恒、不變易法空,我所空。所以者何?此性自爾,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦空,常、恒、不變易法空,我所空。所以者何?此性自爾。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是,是名空世間。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說世間、世間集、世間滅、世間滅道跡。諦聽,善思。

「云何為世間?謂六內入處。云何六?眼內入處,耳、鼻、舌、身、意內入處。

「云何世間滅?謂當來有愛,喜、貪俱,彼彼集著無餘斷,已舍、已吐、已盡、離欲、滅、止、沒

現代漢語譯本 當時,有一位名叫三彌離提的比丘,來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!所謂的世間,是怎樣被稱為世間的呢?』 佛陀告訴三彌離提:『易於損壞和敗壞的,就叫做世間。什麼是易於損壞和敗壞呢?三彌離提!眼睛是易於損壞和敗壞的法,如果色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感覺無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,這一切也都是易於損壞和敗壞的。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。這就是所說的易於損壞和敗壞的法,被稱為世間。』 佛陀說完這部經后,三彌離提比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二三二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫三彌離提的比丘,來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!所謂的世間空,是怎樣被稱為世間空的呢?』 佛陀告訴三彌離提:『眼睛是空的,常、恒、不變易的法是空的,我所擁有的也是空的。為什麼呢?因為它的本性就是如此。如果色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,它們也是空的,常、恒、不變易的法是空的,我所擁有的也是空的。為什麼呢?因為它的本性就是如此。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此,這就是所謂的空世間。』 佛陀說完這部經后,三彌離提比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二三三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說世間、世間的集起、世間的滅盡、以及通向世間滅盡的道路。仔細聽,好好思考。』 『什麼是世間呢?就是六個內在的入處。哪六個呢?眼睛的內在入處,耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識的內在入處。』 『什麼是世間的集起呢?就是對未來的存在的愛,伴隨著喜悅和貪慾,執著于各種事物。』 『什麼是世間的滅盡呢?就是對未來的存在的愛,伴隨著喜悅和貪慾,執著于各種事物,完全斷除,已經捨棄、已經吐出、已經滅盡、離欲、滅、止、沒。

English version At one time, there was a bhikkhu named Samiddhi, who went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is called the world? How is it named the world?' The Buddha told Samiddhi, 'That which is fragile and subject to decay is called the world. What is fragile and subject to decay? Samiddhi, the eye is a fragile and decaying thing. If form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is felt as pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant, all of that is also fragile and decaying. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same. This is what is meant by fragile and decaying, and it is called the world.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Samiddhi, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (Two Three Two) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, there was a bhikkhu named Samiddhi, who went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is called the world empty? How is it named the empty world?' The Buddha told Samiddhi, 'The eye is empty, empty of what is permanent, constant, and unchanging, and empty of what belongs to self. Why is that? Because that is its nature. If form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is felt as pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant, that is also empty, empty of what is permanent, constant, and unchanging, and empty of what belongs to self. Why is that? Because that is its nature. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same. This is called the empty world.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Samiddhi, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (Two Three Three) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying, 'I will now teach you about the world, the arising of the world, the cessation of the world, and the path leading to the cessation of the world. Listen carefully and reflect well.' 'What is the world? It is the six internal sense bases. Which six? The internal sense base of the eye, the ear, the nose, the tongue, the body, and the mind.' 'What is the arising of the world? It is the craving for future existence, accompanied by delight and greed, clinging to various things.' 'What is the cessation of the world? It is the complete cessation of that craving for future existence, accompanied by delight and greed, clinging to various things, having been abandoned, having been relinquished, having been extinguished, dispassion, cessation, stopping, and disappearance.'

(二三四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我不說有人行到世界邊者,我亦不說不行到世界邊而究竟苦邊者。」如是說已,入室坐禪。

時,眾多比丘,世尊去後,即共議言:「世尊曏者略說法言:『我不說有人行到世界邊者,我亦不說不行到世界邊而得究竟苦邊者。』如是說已,入室坐禪。我等今於世尊略說法中未解其義,是中諸尊,誰有堪能於世尊略說法中,廣為我等說其義者。」

復作是言:「唯有尊者阿難,聰慧總持,而常給侍世尊左右,世尊讚歎多聞梵行,堪為我等於世尊略說法中廣說其義,今當往詣尊者阿難所,請求令說。」時,眾多比丘往詣尊者阿難所,共相問訊已,於一面坐。具以上事廣問阿難!爾時,阿難告諸比丘:「諦聽,善思,今當爲說。若世間、世間名、世間覺、世間言辭、世間語說,此等皆入世間數。諸尊!謂眼是世間、世間名、世間覺、世間言辭、世間語說,是等悉入世間數。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。多聞聖弟子於六入處集、滅、味、患、離如實知,是名聖弟子到世界邊、知世間、世間所重、度世間

現代漢語譯本 『什麼是世間滅道的途徑呢?』是指八聖道,即正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二三四) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我不說有人能通過行走到達世界的邊際,我也不會說不通過行走到達世界的邊際就能究竟苦的盡頭。』說完這些,就進入禪室坐禪。 當時,許多比丘在世尊離開后,就一起議論說:『世尊剛才簡略地說法:『我不說有人能通過行走到達世界的邊際,我也不會說不通過行走到達世界的邊際就能究竟苦的盡頭。』說完這些,就進入禪室坐禪。我們現在對世尊簡略說法中的含義不理解,這裡各位尊者,誰有能力對世尊簡略說法中的含義,為我們詳細解釋呢?』 又說:『只有尊者阿難,聰慧博學,並且經常侍奉在世尊左右,世尊讚歎他多聞修行,他有能力為我們詳細解釋世尊簡略說法中的含義,現在應當去拜訪尊者阿難,請求他為我們解說。』當時,許多比丘前往尊者阿難處,互相問候后,在一旁坐下。詳細地將以上的事情詢問阿難!當時,阿難告訴眾比丘:『仔細聽,好好思考,我現在為你們解說。如果世間、世間的名稱、世間的感知、世間的言辭、世間的說法,這些都屬於世間範疇。各位尊者!所謂眼是世間、世間的名稱、世間的感知、世間的言辭、世間的說法,這些都屬於世間範疇。耳、鼻、舌、身、意也是如此。多聞的聖弟子對於六入處的集起、滅盡、滋味、過患、離欲如實地知曉,這被稱為聖弟子到達世界的邊際、瞭解世間、世間所重視的、度脫世間。』

English version 'What is the path to the cessation of the world?' It refers to the Noble Eightfold Path: right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (Two Three Four) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'I do not say that one can reach the end of the world by walking, nor do I say that without walking to the end of the world, one can reach the end of suffering.' Having said this, he entered his chamber for meditation. Then, many monks, after the Blessed One had left, discussed among themselves: 'The Blessed One just briefly taught: 『I do not say that one can reach the end of the world by walking, nor do I say that without walking to the end of the world, one can reach the end of suffering.』 Having said this, he entered his chamber for meditation. We do not understand the meaning of the Blessed One's brief teaching. Among you venerable ones, who is capable of explaining the meaning of the Blessed One's brief teaching in detail for us?' They further said: 'Only the venerable Ananda, who is wise and learned, and who always attends upon the Blessed One, and whom the Blessed One praises for his great learning and virtuous conduct, is capable of explaining the meaning of the Blessed One's brief teaching in detail for us. Now we should go to the venerable Ananda and request him to explain it.' Then, many monks went to the venerable Ananda, and after exchanging greetings, sat down to one side. They asked Ananda in detail about the above matter! Then, Ananda said to the monks: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will now explain it to you. If the world, the name of the world, the perception of the world, the words of the world, the speech of the world, all these belong to the category of the world. Venerable ones! What is called the eye is the world, the name of the world, the perception of the world, the words of the world, the speech of the world, all these belong to the category of the world. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same. A well-learned noble disciple truly knows the arising, cessation, gratification, danger, and escape from the six sense bases. This is called a noble disciple reaching the end of the world, understanding the world, what the world values, and transcending the world.'


。」

爾時,尊者阿難復說偈言:

「非是游步者,  能到世界邊,  不到世界邊,  不能免眾苦,  是故牟尼尊,  名知世間者,  能到世界邊,  諸梵行已立,  世界邊唯有,  正智慧諦了,  覺慧達世間,  故說度彼岸。

「如是,諸尊!曏者世尊略說法已,入室坐禪,我今為汝分別廣說。」

尊者阿難說是法已,眾多比丘聞其所說,歡喜奉行。

(二三五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有師、有近住弟子,則苦獨住,無師、無近住弟子,則樂獨住。

「云何有師、有近住弟子,則苦獨住?緣眼、色,生惡不善覺,貪、恚、癡俱,若彼比丘行此法者,是名有師,若於此邊住者,是名近住弟子。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。如是有師、有近住弟子,常苦獨住。

「云何無師、無近住弟子,常樂獨住?緣眼、色,生惡不善覺,貪、恚、癡俱,彼比丘不行,是名無師。不依彼住,是名無近住弟子。是名無師、無近住弟子,常樂獨住。若彼比丘無師、無近住弟子者,我說彼得梵行福。所以者何?無師、無近住弟子,比丘於我建立梵行,能正盡苦,究竟苦集。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二三六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者舍利弗晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。乞食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,持尼師檀,入林中,晝日坐禪

現代漢語譯本 當時,尊者阿難又說了偈語: 『不是通過行走就能到達世界的邊際, 不到達世界的邊際,就不能免除眾多的痛苦。 因此,牟尼尊者,被稱為知曉世間的人, 能夠到達世界的邊際,所有修行梵行的人已經確立了目標。 世界的邊際唯有通過正確的智慧才能真正明瞭, 覺悟的智慧通達世間,所以說能度過彼岸。』 『諸位尊者,就像這樣,剛才世尊略微說法后,就進入房間坐禪了,我現在為你們分別詳細解說。』 尊者阿難說完這些法后,眾多比丘聽聞他所說的,都歡喜地奉行。 (二三五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有老師、有親近的弟子,就會痛苦地獨處;沒有老師、沒有親近的弟子,就會快樂地獨處。』 『怎樣是有老師、有親近的弟子,就會痛苦地獨處呢?因為眼睛接觸到顏色,產生不好的念頭,伴隨著貪婪、嗔恨、愚癡。如果那個比丘修行這種法,就叫做有老師;如果他依附於此,就叫做親近的弟子。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是這樣。像這樣有老師、有親近的弟子,常常痛苦地獨處。』 『怎樣是沒有老師、沒有親近的弟子,常常快樂地獨處呢?因為眼睛接觸到顏色,產生不好的念頭,伴隨著貪婪、嗔恨、愚癡,那個比丘不修行,就叫做沒有老師。不依附於此,就叫做沒有親近的弟子。這就叫做沒有老師、沒有親近的弟子,常常快樂地獨處。如果那個比丘沒有老師、沒有親近的弟子,我說他能獲得梵行的福報。為什麼呢?沒有老師、沒有親近的弟子,比丘在我這裡建立梵行,能夠真正地滅盡痛苦,最終達到苦的止息。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (二三六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者舍利弗早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。乞食完畢,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著坐具,進入樹林,白天坐禪。

English version At that time, the Venerable Ananda further spoke in verse: 'It is not by walking that one can reach the edge of the world, Not reaching the edge of the world, one cannot be free from suffering. Therefore, the Muni, the Venerable One, is called the knower of the world, Able to reach the edge of the world, all those who practice the holy life have established their goal. The edge of the world can only be truly understood through right wisdom, The wisdom of enlightenment penetrates the world, therefore it is said to cross the shore.' 'Thus, venerable ones, just now the World Honored One briefly taught the Dharma and then entered his room to meditate. Now I will explain it to you in detail.' After the Venerable Ananda spoke these teachings, many monks, hearing what he said, joyfully practiced it. (Two Three Five) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'Having a teacher and close disciples, one dwells in suffering alone; not having a teacher and close disciples, one dwells in happiness alone.' 'How does having a teacher and close disciples lead to dwelling in suffering alone? Because the eye encounters form, unwholesome thoughts arise, accompanied by greed, hatred, and delusion. If that monk practices this way, he is called having a teacher; if he relies on this, he is called a close disciple. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Thus, having a teacher and close disciples, one always dwells in suffering alone.' 'How does not having a teacher and close disciples lead to dwelling in happiness alone? Because the eye encounters form, unwholesome thoughts arise, accompanied by greed, hatred, and delusion, but that monk does not practice this way, he is called not having a teacher. Not relying on this, he is called not having close disciples. This is called not having a teacher and close disciples, and one always dwells in happiness alone. If that monk has no teacher and no close disciples, I say he obtains the merit of the holy life. Why is that? Without a teacher and close disciples, the monk establishes the holy life in my teachings, and is able to truly end suffering, ultimately reaching the cessation of suffering.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, hearing what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (Two Three Six) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the Venerable Shariputra, in the morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered the city of Shravasti to beg for alms. Having finished begging for alms, he returned to the monastery, put away his robes and bowl, washed his feet, took his sitting mat, and entered the forest to meditate during the day.


。時,舍利弗從禪覺,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。

爾時,佛告舍利弗:「汝從何來?」

舍利弗答言:「世尊!從林中晝日坐禪來。」

佛告舍利弗:「今入何等禪住?」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!我今于林中入空三昧禪住。」

佛告舍利弗:「善哉!善哉!舍利弗,汝今入上座禪住而坐禪。若諸比丘欲入上座禪者,當如是學:

『若入城時、若行乞食時、若出城時,當作是思惟:「我今眼見色,頗起欲、恩愛、愛念著不?」』

「舍利弗!比丘作如是觀時,若眼識於色有愛念染著者,彼比丘為斷惡不善故,當勤欲方便,堪能繫念修學。譬如有人,火燒頭衣,為盡滅故,當起增上方便,勤教令滅。彼比丘亦復如是,當起增上勤欲方便,繫念修學。

「若比丘觀察時,若於道路、若聚落中行乞食、若出聚落,于其中間,眼識於色,無有愛念染著者,彼比丘愿以此喜樂善根,日夜精勤,繫念修習,是名比丘於行、住、坐、臥凈除乞食,是故此經名清凈乞食住。」

佛說此經已,尊者舍利弗聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二三七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離獼猴池側重閣講堂。

時,有長者名郁瞿婁,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!何故有一比丘見法般涅槃?何故比丘不得見法般涅槃?」

佛告長者:「若有比丘眼識於色,愛念染著,以愛念染著故,常依于識;為彼縛故,若彼取故,不得見法般涅槃。耳、鼻、舌、身、意識法亦復如是

現代漢語譯本:當時,舍利弗從禪定中醒來,來到世尊那裡,頂禮佛足,然後退坐在一旁。 這時,佛陀告訴舍利弗:『你從哪裡來?』 舍利弗回答說:『世尊,我從林中白天坐禪而來。』 佛陀問舍利弗:『你現在入的是什麼禪定?』 舍利弗對佛陀說:『世尊,我今天在林中入的是空三昧禪定。』 佛陀告訴舍利弗:『很好!很好!舍利弗,你現在入的是上座禪定而坐禪。如果其他比丘想要入上座禪定,應當這樣學習:』 『當進入城市時、當去乞食時、當離開城市時,應當這樣思考:「我今天眼睛看到顏色,是否會產生慾望、恩愛、愛戀執著呢?」』 『舍利弗,比丘這樣觀察時,如果眼睛對顏色有愛戀執著,那麼這位比丘爲了斷除惡不善,應當勤奮努力,能夠繫念修學。譬如有人,頭上的衣服被火燒著,爲了徹底撲滅,應當更加努力,勤奮地讓火熄滅。這位比丘也應當這樣,應當更加勤奮努力,繫念修學。』 『如果比丘觀察時,在道路上、在村落中乞食、在離開村落的途中,眼睛對顏色沒有愛戀執著,那麼這位比丘應當以這種喜悅的善根,日夜精進,繫念修習,這叫做比丘在行走、站立、坐著、躺臥時都清凈地乞食,所以這部經叫做清凈乞食住。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者舍利弗聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二三七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,有一位名叫郁瞿婁的長者,來到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊,為什麼有的比丘能見法般涅槃?為什麼有的比丘不能見法般涅槃?』 佛陀告訴長者:『如果有的比丘眼睛看到顏色,產生愛戀執著,因為愛戀執著,常常依賴於意識;因為被它束縛,因為被它執取,所以不能見法般涅槃。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識對法也是如此。』

English version: At that time, Shariputra arose from his meditation, went to the World Honored One, bowed his head to his feet, and sat down to one side. Then, the Buddha said to Shariputra, 'Where have you come from?' Shariputra replied, 'World Honored One, I have come from meditating in the forest during the day.' The Buddha asked Shariputra, 'What kind of meditation are you dwelling in now?' Shariputra said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, today in the forest I am dwelling in the meditation of the emptiness samadhi.' The Buddha said to Shariputra, 'Excellent! Excellent! Shariputra, you are now dwelling in the meditation of the senior seat while meditating. If other monks wish to enter the meditation of the senior seat, they should learn in this way:' 'When entering a city, when going for alms, when leaving a city, one should think thus: 「When my eyes see a color today, do I give rise to desire, affection, or attachment?」' 'Shariputra, when a monk observes in this way, if the eye consciousness has attachment to color, then that monk, in order to cut off evil and unwholesome things, should diligently strive, be able to maintain mindfulness and practice. For example, if someone's head clothing is burned by fire, in order to completely extinguish it, they should make greater effort and diligently put out the fire. That monk should also be like this, should make greater effort, maintain mindfulness and practice.' 'If a monk observes, while on the road, while going for alms in a village, or while leaving a village, if the eye consciousness has no attachment to color, then that monk should use this joy and good root, diligently practice day and night, maintaining mindfulness. This is called a monk purifying alms-gathering while walking, standing, sitting, and lying down. Therefore, this sutra is called the Pure Alms-Gathering Dwelling.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Shariputra, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (237) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the multi-storied lecture hall by the Monkey Pond in Vaishali. At that time, there was an elder named Ugra, who went to the Buddha, bowed his head to his feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, why is it that some monks see the Dharma and attain parinirvana? Why is it that some monks do not see the Dharma and attain parinirvana?' The Buddha said to the elder, 'If a monk's eye consciousness has attachment to color, because of this attachment, he constantly relies on consciousness; because he is bound by it, because he is attached to it, he cannot see the Dharma and attain parinirvana. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind consciousness with respect to dharmas.'


「若比丘眼識於色,不愛樂染著,不愛樂染著者,不依于識,不觸、不著、不取故,此諸比丘得見法般涅槃。耳、鼻、舌、身、意識法亦復如是。

「是故,長者!有比丘得見法般涅槃者,有不得見法般涅槃者。」

如長者所問經,如是阿難所問經及佛自為諸比丘所說經,亦如上說。

(二三八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離獼猴池側重閣講堂。

時,有異比丘往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!何因何緣眼識生?何因何緣耳、鼻、舌、身、意識生?」

佛告比丘:「眼因緣色,眼識生。所以者何?若眼識生,一切眼色因緣故。耳聲因緣、鼻香因緣、舌味因緣、意法因緣意識生。所以者何?諸所有意識,彼一切皆意法因緣生故。是名比丘眼識因緣生,乃至意識因緣生。」

時,彼比丘聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(二三九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離獼猴池側重閣講堂。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說結所繫法及結法。云何結所繫法?眼色、耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法,是名結所繫法。云何結法?謂欲貪,是名結法。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二四〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離獼猴池側重閣講堂。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說所取法及取法。云何所取法?眼色、耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法,是名所取法。云何取法?謂欲貪,是名取法

現代漢語譯本: 『如果比丘的眼識接觸到色塵時,不貪愛、不執著,不因執著而依賴於識,不接觸、不執著、不取著,這些比丘就能證得法般涅槃。耳、鼻、舌、身、意識接觸到相應的塵境時也是如此。 『因此,長者!有些比丘能證得法般涅槃,有些則不能。』 如長者所問的經文一樣,阿難所問的經文以及佛陀親自為比丘們所說的經文,也都是如上所說。

(二三八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,有一位比丘前往佛陀處,頂禮佛足后,退坐在一旁,向佛陀說道:『世尊!是什麼原因和條件導致眼識產生?又是什麼原因和條件導致耳、鼻、舌、身、意識產生?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『眼根和色塵是眼識產生的條件。為什麼呢?因為眼識的產生,一切都以眼根和色塵為條件。耳根和聲音、鼻根和香氣、舌根和味道、意根和法塵也是意識產生的條件。為什麼呢?因為所有意識的產生,都以意根和法塵為條件。這就是比丘所說的眼識因緣生,乃至意識因緣生。』 當時,那位比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,頂禮后離去。

(二三九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『我現在要說被束縛的法和束縛的法。什麼是被束縛的法呢?眼根和色塵、耳根和聲音、鼻根和香氣、舌根和味道、身根和觸覺、意根和法塵,這些是被束縛的法。什麼是束縛的法呢?就是欲貪,這是束縛的法。』 佛陀說完此經,諸位比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

(二四〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『我現在要說所取之法和取之法。什麼是所取之法呢?眼根和色塵、耳根和聲音、鼻根和香氣、舌根和味道、身根和觸覺、意根和法塵,這些是所取之法。什麼是取之法呢?就是欲貪,這是取之法。』

English version: 'If a bhikkhu's eye-consciousness, when encountering forms, does not love, does not become attached, and because of not being attached, does not rely on consciousness, does not touch, does not cling, and does not grasp, these bhikkhus attain the complete extinguishing of the Dhamma. The same is true for ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind-consciousness when encountering their respective objects.' 'Therefore, householder! There are bhikkhus who attain the complete extinguishing of the Dhamma, and there are those who do not.' Just as the sutra asked by the householder, the sutra asked by Ananda, and the sutra spoken by the Buddha himself for the bhikkhus are all as described above.

(238) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling at the Hall of the Double-Story Pavilion near the Monkey Pond in Vesali. Then, a certain bhikkhu went to the Buddha, bowed down at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, what is the cause and condition for the arising of eye-consciousness? And what is the cause and condition for the arising of ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind-consciousness?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'Eye and forms are the conditions for the arising of eye-consciousness. Why is that? Because if eye-consciousness arises, it is all due to the conditions of eye and forms. Ear and sounds, nose and smells, tongue and tastes, mind and mental objects are also the conditions for the arising of consciousness. Why is that? Because all consciousness arises due to the conditions of mind and mental objects. This, bhikkhu, is called the arising of eye-consciousness due to conditions, and so on up to the arising of mind-consciousness due to conditions.' Then, that bhikkhu, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted, and after bowing, departed.

(239) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling at the Hall of the Double-Story Pavilion near the Monkey Pond in Vesali. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'I will now teach you about the things bound by fetters and the fetters themselves. What are the things bound by fetters? Eye and forms, ear and sounds, nose and smells, tongue and tastes, body and tactile objects, mind and mental objects, these are the things bound by fetters. What are the fetters? It is desire and craving, this is the fetter.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

(240) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling at the Hall of the Double-Story Pavilion near the Monkey Pond in Vesali. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'I will now teach you about the things that are grasped and the grasping itself. What are the things that are grasped? Eye and forms, ear and sounds, nose and smells, tongue and tastes, body and tactile objects, mind and mental objects, these are the things that are grasped. What is the grasping? It is desire and craving, this is the grasping.'


。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二四一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離獼猴池側重閣講堂。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「愚癡無聞凡夫,比丘!寧以火燒熱銅籌以燒其目,令其熾然,不以眼識取於色相、取隨形好。所以者何?取於色相、取隨形好故,墮惡趣中如沈鐵丸。

「愚癡無聞凡夫,寧燒鐵錐以鉆其耳,不以耳識取其聲相、取隨聲好。所以者何?耳識取聲相、取隨聲好者,身壞命終墮惡趣中如沈鐵丸。

「愚癡無聞凡夫,寧以利刀斷截其鼻,不以鼻識取于香相、取隨香好。所以者何?以取香相、取隨香好故,身壞命終墮惡趣中如沈鐵丸。

「愚癡無聞凡夫,寧以利刀斷截其舌,不以舌識取于味相、取隨味好。所以者何?以取味相、隨味好故,身壞命終墮惡趣中如沈鐵丸。

「愚癡無聞凡夫,寧以剛鐵利槍以刺其身,不以身識取于觸相及隨觸好。所以者何?以取觸相及隨觸好故,身壞命終墮惡趣中如沈鐵丸。

「諸比丘!睡眠者是愚癡活、是癡命,無利、無福,然諸比丘寧當睡眠,不于彼色而起覺想;若起覺想者,必生纏縛諍訟,能令多眾起于非義,不能饒益安樂天人。

「彼多聞聖弟子作如是學:『我今寧以熾然鐵槍以貫其目,不以眼識取於色相,墮三惡趣,長夜受苦。我從今日當正思惟:「觀眼無常、有為、心緣生法,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦無常、有為、心緣生法

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (二四一) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『愚癡而沒有聞法的凡夫,比丘們!寧可用燒紅的銅籌去燒灼他的眼睛,讓它熾熱,也不要用眼識去執取色相、執取隨色相而來的美好。為什麼呢?因為執取色相、執取隨色相而來的美好,就會像沉入水中的鐵丸一樣,墮入惡道之中。 『愚癡而沒有聞法的凡夫,寧可用燒紅的鐵錐去鉆他的耳朵,也不要用耳識去執取聲相、執取隨聲相而來的美好。為什麼呢?因為耳識執取聲相、執取隨聲相而來的美好,就會在身壞命終後像沉入水中的鐵丸一樣,墮入惡道之中。 『愚癡而沒有聞法的凡夫,寧可用利刀去割斷他的鼻子,也不要用鼻識去執取香相、執取隨香相而來的美好。為什麼呢?因為執取香相、執取隨香相而來的美好,就會在身壞命終後像沉入水中的鐵丸一樣,墮入惡道之中。 『愚癡而沒有聞法的凡夫,寧可用利刀去割斷他的舌頭,也不要用舌識去執取味相、執取隨味相而來的美好。為什麼呢?因為執取味相、執取隨味相而來的美好,就會在身壞命終後像沉入水中的鐵丸一樣,墮入惡道之中。 『愚癡而沒有聞法的凡夫,寧可用剛硬的鐵槍去刺他的身體,也不要用身識去執取觸相以及隨觸相而來的美好。為什麼呢?因為執取觸相以及隨觸相而來的美好,就會在身壞命終後像沉入水中的鐵丸一樣,墮入惡道之中。 『諸位比丘!睡眠是愚癡的活法、是愚癡的生命,沒有利益、沒有福報。然而,諸位比丘寧可睡眠,也不要對那些色相生起覺想;如果生起覺想,必定會產生纏縛和諍訟,能使大眾產生不義,不能利益安樂天人。 『那些多聞的聖弟子這樣學習:『我寧可用熾熱的鐵槍貫穿我的眼睛,也不要用眼識去執取色相,墮入三惡道,長久地遭受痛苦。我從今天開始應當正確地思維:「觀察眼睛是無常的、有為的、心緣生的法,如果色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、是樂、是不苦不樂,它們也是無常的、有為的、心緣生的法。」』

Having finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. (241) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the multi-storied hall near the Monkey Pond in Vaishali. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the bhikkhus: 'O bhikkhus! A foolish, unlearned ordinary person would rather have his eyes burned with a red-hot copper rod, making them blaze, than to grasp at the appearance of form with eye-consciousness, grasping at the pleasing features. Why is that? Because by grasping at the appearance of form, grasping at the pleasing features, one falls into the evil realms like a sinking iron ball. 'A foolish, unlearned ordinary person would rather have his ears pierced with a red-hot iron awl than to grasp at the appearance of sound with ear-consciousness, grasping at the pleasing sounds. Why is that? Because one who grasps at the appearance of sound with ear-consciousness, grasping at the pleasing sounds, falls into the evil realms like a sinking iron ball after the body breaks up and life ends. 'A foolish, unlearned ordinary person would rather have his nose cut off with a sharp knife than to grasp at the appearance of smell with nose-consciousness, grasping at the pleasing smells. Why is that? Because by grasping at the appearance of smell, grasping at the pleasing smells, one falls into the evil realms like a sinking iron ball after the body breaks up and life ends. 'A foolish, unlearned ordinary person would rather have his tongue cut off with a sharp knife than to grasp at the appearance of taste with tongue-consciousness, grasping at the pleasing tastes. Why is that? Because by grasping at the appearance of taste, grasping at the pleasing tastes, one falls into the evil realms like a sinking iron ball after the body breaks up and life ends. 'A foolish, unlearned ordinary person would rather have his body pierced with a sharp iron spear than to grasp at the appearance of touch with body-consciousness, grasping at the pleasing touches. Why is that? Because by grasping at the appearance of touch, grasping at the pleasing touches, one falls into the evil realms like a sinking iron ball after the body breaks up and life ends. 'O bhikkhus! Sleep is the life of a fool, a foolish existence, without benefit or merit. Yet, O bhikkhus, it is better to sleep than to give rise to thoughts about those forms; if thoughts arise, there will surely be entanglements and disputes, which can cause many to engage in unrighteousness, and cannot benefit or bring happiness to gods and humans. 'Those learned noble disciples learn thus: 「I would rather have my eyes pierced with a blazing iron spear than to grasp at the appearance of form with eye-consciousness, falling into the three evil realms, suffering for a long time. From this day forward, I shall contemplate correctly: 『Observing that the eye is impermanent, conditioned, and a dharma arising from mental causes; if form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling arising from the condition of eye-contact, whether the inner feeling is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, they are also impermanent, conditioned, and a dharma arising from mental causes.』」'


。」』耳、鼻、舌、身入處當如是學:『寧以鐵槍貫其身體,不以身識取于觸相及隨觸好故,墮三惡道。我從今日當正思惟:「觀身無常、有為、心緣生法,若觸、身識、身觸、身觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦無常、有為、心緣生法。」』

「多聞聖弟子作如是學:『睡眠者是愚癡活、癡命,無果、無利、無福,我當不眠,亦不起覺想,起想者生於纏縛諍訟,令多人非義饒益,不得安樂。』

「多聞聖弟子如是觀者,于眼生厭,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦生厭,厭故不樂,不樂故解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二四二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離獼猴池側重閣講堂。

一時,佛住毗舍離獼猴池側重閣講堂。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若諸比丘于眼味者,當知是沙門、婆羅門不得自在脫于魔手,魔縛所縛,入于魔系。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。若沙門、婆羅門于眼不味者,當知是沙門、婆羅門不隨於魔,脫于魔手,不入魔系

現代漢語譯本:『對於耳、鼻、舌、身這四個感官的入口,應當這樣學習:『寧願讓鐵槍刺穿身體,也不要因為身體的感知而執著于觸覺的感受,以及隨之而來的喜好,以至於墮入三惡道。我從今天起應當正確地思考:「觀察身體是無常的、有為的、由心念緣起的法,如果有了觸覺、身體的意識、身體的接觸、身體接觸的因緣而產生的感受,內心感受到苦、樂、不苦不樂,這些也是無常的、有為的、由心念緣起的法。」』 『多聞的聖弟子應當這樣學習:『睡眠是愚癡的生活、愚癡的生命,沒有結果、沒有利益、沒有福報。我應當不睡覺,也不要生起覺想,生起覺想就會產生纏縛和爭訟,使很多人遭受不義的利益,不能得到安樂。』 『多聞的聖弟子這樣觀察,就會對眼睛產生厭離,對於顏色、眼睛的意識、眼睛的接觸、眼睛接觸的因緣而產生的感受,內心感受到苦、樂、不苦不樂,也會產生厭離。因為厭離而不貪戀,因為不貪戀而解脫,解脫后就會有這樣的知見:『我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (二四二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在毗舍離獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果眼睛不瞭解、不認識、不斷除、不離欲,就不能真正地滅除痛苦;如果眼睛瞭解、認識、斷除、離欲,就能真正地滅除痛苦。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 像眼睛的四部經一樣,乃至意識的二十四部經都如上面所說。 (二四三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在毗舍離獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘們對於眼睛有所貪戀,應當知道這些沙門、婆羅門不能自在地脫離魔的掌控,被魔的束縛所捆綁,進入魔的系統。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。如果沙門、婆羅門對於眼睛沒有貪戀,應當知道這些沙門、婆羅門不隨順魔,脫離魔的掌控,不進入魔的系統。

English version: 'Regarding the entrances of the ear, nose, tongue, and body, one should learn thus: 「Rather let an iron spear pierce through my body than to, through bodily perception, cling to the sensation of touch and the liking that follows, thus falling into the three evil realms. From this day forward, I shall contemplate correctly: 『Observing the body as impermanent, conditioned, and arising from mental causes; if there is touch, bodily consciousness, bodily contact, and feeling arising from the conditions of bodily contact, whether the inner feeling is of pain, pleasure, or neither pain nor pleasure, these too are impermanent, conditioned, and arising from mental causes.』」' 'A well-learned noble disciple should learn thus: 「Sleep is a foolish way of living, a foolish life, without result, without benefit, without merit. I shall not sleep, nor shall I give rise to thoughts of wakefulness. Giving rise to such thoughts leads to entanglement and disputes, causing many to suffer unjust harm and preventing them from finding peace.」' 'A well-learned noble disciple, observing thus, will become weary of the eye; and of form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and feeling arising from the conditions of eye-contact, whether the inner feeling is of pain, pleasure, or neither pain nor pleasure, they will also become weary. Because of weariness, they will not be attached; because of non-attachment, they will be liberated. Upon liberation, they will have the knowledge: 「My birth is ended, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, I know that I will not be reborn.」 The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.』 Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One』s words and practiced accordingly. (242) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Blessed One was dwelling at the Hall of the Double Roof near the Monkey Pond in Vesali. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 『If the eye does not know, does not recognize, does not abandon, and is not free from desire, it is not capable of truly ending suffering; if the eye knows, recognizes, abandons, and is free from desire, it is capable of truly ending suffering.』 Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One』s words and practiced accordingly. Just as with the four discourses on the eye, so too with the twenty-four discourses on the mind, as described above. (243) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Blessed One was dwelling at the Hall of the Double Roof near the Monkey Pond in Vesali. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 『If bhikkhus are attached to the eye, know that these ascetics and brahmins are not free from the grasp of Mara, are bound by Mara』s fetters, and have entered Mara』s domain. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. If ascetics and brahmins are not attached to the eye, know that these ascetics and brahmins do not follow Mara, are free from Mara』s grasp, and do not enter Mara』s domain.』


。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如味,如是歡喜、讚歎、染著、堅住、愛樂、憎嫉,亦如是說。

如內入處七經,外入處七經,亦如是說。

(二四四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離獼猴池側重閣講堂。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有六魔鉤。云何為六?眼味著色,是則魔鉤,耳味著聲,是則魔鉤,鼻味著香,是則魔鉤,舌味著味,是則魔鉤,身味著觸,是則魔鉤,意味著法,是則魔鉤。若沙門、婆羅門眼味著色者,當知是沙門、婆羅門魔鉤鉤其咽,于魔不得自在。」

穢說凈說,廣說如上。

(二四五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘留搜調伏駁牛聚落。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當爲汝等說法,初語亦善,中語亦善,后語亦善,善義善味,純一滿凈,清白梵行,謂四品法經。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。

「何等為四品法經?有眼識色可愛、可念、可樂、可著,比丘見已,歡喜、讚歎、樂著、堅住,有眼識色不可愛、不可念、不可樂著、苦厭。比丘見已,瞋恚、嫌薄。如是比丘于魔不得自在,乃至不得解脫魔系。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。

「有眼識色可愛、可念、可樂、可著,比丘見已,知喜不讚嘆、不樂著堅實,有眼識色不可愛、念、樂、著,比丘見已,不瞋恚、嫌薄。如是比丘不隨魔,自在,乃至解脫魔系。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。是名比丘四品法經。」

(二四六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城耆阇崛山

現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 對於味道,以及由此產生的歡喜、讚歎、執著、堅守、愛戀、憎恨,也應如此宣說。 關於內六入處七經,外六入處七經,也應如此宣說。 (二四四) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有六種魔鉤。哪六種呢?眼睛貪戀顏色,這就是魔鉤;耳朵貪戀聲音,這就是魔鉤;鼻子貪戀氣味,這就是魔鉤;舌頭貪戀味道,這就是魔鉤;身體貪戀觸感,這就是魔鉤;意識貪戀法,這就是魔鉤。如果沙門、婆羅門眼睛貪戀顏色,應當知道這位沙門、婆羅門是被魔鉤鉤住了咽喉,不能從魔的控制中解脫。』 關於不清凈的說法和清凈的說法,詳細的解釋如上所述。 (二四五) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在拘留搜調伏駁牛聚落。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要為你們說法,開頭的言辭是善的,中間的言辭是善的,結尾的言辭也是善的,意義美好,味道美好,純粹圓滿,清凈的梵行,這就是四品法經。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們宣說。』 『什麼是四品法經呢?眼睛所識別的顏色,如果可愛、可念、可樂、可執著,比丘看見后,就歡喜、讚歎、愛戀、執著;眼睛所識別的顏色,如果不可愛、不可念、不可樂、令人厭惡,比丘看見后,就嗔恨、嫌棄。這樣的比丘不能從魔的控制中解脫,甚至不能解脫魔的束縛。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。 『眼睛所識別的顏色,如果可愛、可念、可樂、可執著,比丘看見后,知道歡喜但不讚嘆、不愛戀、不執著;眼睛所識別的顏色,如果不可愛、不可念、不可樂、令人厭惡,比丘看見后,不嗔恨、不嫌棄。這樣的比丘不隨魔,能自在,甚至能解脫魔的束縛。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。這就是比丘的四品法經。』 (二四六) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城耆阇崛山。

English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. Regarding taste, and the joy, praise, attachment, steadfastness, love, and hatred that arise from it, it should also be spoken of in this way. Regarding the seven sutras on the six internal sense bases and the seven sutras on the six external sense bases, it should also be spoken of in this way. (244) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the multi-storied hall near the Monkey Pond in Vaishali. At that time, the World Honored One addressed the monks, saying, 'There are six snares of Mara. What are the six? The eye's attachment to form is a snare of Mara; the ear's attachment to sound is a snare of Mara; the nose's attachment to smell is a snare of Mara; the tongue's attachment to taste is a snare of Mara; the body's attachment to touch is a snare of Mara; the mind's attachment to mental objects is a snare of Mara. If a sramana or brahmana is attached to form with the eye, know that this sramana or brahmana has his throat caught by the snare of Mara and is not free from Mara's control.' The explanation of the impure and pure, as well as the detailed explanation, is as described above. (245) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the village of Kurusodhan, where the bull was tamed. At that time, the World Honored One addressed the monks, saying, 'I will now teach you the Dharma, the beginning words are good, the middle words are good, the ending words are good, the meaning is good, the taste is good, pure and complete, the pure conduct, which is called the Four Categories of Dharma Sutra. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.' 'What are the Four Categories of Dharma Sutra? If a form cognized by the eye is lovely, desirable, pleasing, and attractive, a monk, having seen it, rejoices, praises, is attached to it, and is steadfast in it; if a form cognized by the eye is unlovely, undesirable, unpleasing, and repulsive, a monk, having seen it, becomes angry and disgusted. Such a monk is not free from Mara's control, and is not even liberated from Mara's bondage. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.' 'If a form cognized by the eye is lovely, desirable, pleasing, and attractive, a monk, having seen it, knows the joy but does not praise it, is not attached to it, and is not steadfast in it; if a form cognized by the eye is unlovely, undesirable, unpleasing, and repulsive, a monk, having seen it, does not become angry or disgusted. Such a monk does not follow Mara, is free, and is even liberated from Mara's bondage. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. This is called the Four Categories of Dharma Sutra for monks.' (246) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gijjhakuta in Rajagaha.


爾時,世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入王舍城乞食。

爾時,天魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇晨朝著衣持缽,入王舍城乞食,我今當往亂其道意。」

時,魔波旬化作御車象類,執杖覓牛,著弊衣,蓬頭亂髮,手腳剝裂,手執牛杖,至世尊前問言:「瞿曇!見我牛不?」

世尊作是念:「此是惡魔,欲來亂我。」即告魔言:「惡魔!何處有牛?何用牛為?」

魔作是念:「沙門瞿曇知我是魔。」而白佛言:「瞿曇!眼觸入處,是我所乘。耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處,是我所乘。」

復問:「瞿曇!欲何所之?」

佛告惡魔:「汝有眼觸入處,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處。若彼無眼觸入處,無耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處,汝所不到,我往到彼。」

爾時,天魔波旬即說偈言:

「若常有我者,  彼悉是我所,  一切悉屬我,  瞿曇何所之。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「若言有我者,  彼說我則非,  是故知波旬,  即自墮負處。」

魔復說偈言:

「若說言知道,  安隱向涅槃,  汝自獨遊往,  何煩教他為?」

世尊復說偈答言:

「若有離魔者,  問度彼岸道,  為彼平等說,  真實永無餘,  時習不放逸,  永離魔自在。」

魔復說偈言:

「有石似段肉,  餓烏來欲食,  彼作軟美想,  欲以補饑虛,  竟不得其味,  折觜而騰虛,  我今猶如烏,  瞿曇如石生,  不入愧而去,  猶烏陵虛逝,  內心懷愁毒,  即彼沒不現

當時,世尊早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入王舍城乞食。 當時,天魔波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入王舍城乞食,我現在應當去擾亂他的道心。』 這時,魔波旬化作駕著車子的象的樣子,拿著棍子尋找牛,穿著破爛的衣服,頭髮蓬亂,手腳皸裂,手裡拿著趕牛的棍子,來到世尊面前問道:『瞿曇!你看見我的牛了嗎?』 世尊心想:『這是惡魔,想要來擾亂我。』就告訴魔說:『惡魔!哪裡有牛?要牛做什麼?』 魔心想:『沙門瞿曇知道我是魔。』就對佛說:『瞿曇!眼觸入處,是我所駕馭的。耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處,是我所駕馭的。』 又問:『瞿曇!你想要去哪裡?』 佛告訴惡魔:『你有眼觸入處,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處。如果那裡沒有眼觸入處,沒有耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處,你所不能到達的地方,我就前往那裡。』 當時,天魔波旬就說了偈語: 『如果常有我存在,那麼一切都是我的所有,一切都屬於我,瞿曇你能去哪裡呢?』 當時,世尊說了偈語回答: 『如果說有我存在,那麼說我存在就是錯誤的,所以要知道波旬,你已經自陷於失敗之地。』 魔又說了偈語: 『如果說知道道路,能夠安穩地走向涅槃,你獨自前往就好,何必費心教導他人呢?』 世尊又說了偈語回答: 『如果有想要脫離魔的人,詢問到達彼岸的道路,我會為他們平等地講述,真實不虛,永遠沒有遺漏,時常修習不放逸,就能永遠脫離魔的自在。』 魔又說了偈語: 『有一塊石頭像一塊肉,飢餓的烏鴉想要來吃,它以為是柔軟美味的食物,想要用來填飽肚子,最終卻嘗不到味道,折斷了喙而飛走,我現在就像那隻烏鴉,瞿曇就像那塊石頭,不甘心而離去,就像烏鴉飛向天空,內心懷著愁苦和毒恨,就此消失不見。』

At that time, the World Honored One, having dressed in the morning, took his bowl and entered the city of Rajagriha to beg for food. At that time, the heavenly demon Mara Papiyas thought: 'The Shramana Gautama, having dressed in the morning, takes his bowl and enters the city of Rajagriha to beg for food. I should now go and disturb his mind on the path.' Then, Mara Papiyas transformed himself into the likeness of an elephant pulling a cart, holding a staff and searching for an ox, wearing tattered clothes, with disheveled hair, cracked hands and feet, holding an ox-goad, and came before the World Honored One and asked: 'Gautama! Have you seen my ox?' The World Honored One thought: 'This is an evil demon, wanting to come and disturb me.' He then said to the demon: 'Evil demon! Where is there an ox? What use is an ox?' The demon thought: 'The Shramana Gautama knows that I am a demon.' And said to the Buddha: 'Gautama! The place where the eye makes contact is what I ride. The places where the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind make contact are what I ride.' He further asked: 'Gautama! Where do you intend to go?' The Buddha said to the evil demon: 'You have the place where the eye makes contact, and the places where the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind make contact. If there is no place where the eye makes contact, no place where the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind make contact, a place you cannot reach, I will go there.' At that time, the heavenly demon Mara Papiyas then spoke a verse: 'If there is always a self, then all is mine, all belongs to me, where can Gautama go?' At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse in reply: 'If one says there is a self, then saying there is a self is wrong, therefore know, Papiyas, that you have fallen into a place of defeat.' The demon then spoke another verse: 'If you say you know the path, and can peacefully go to Nirvana, you should go alone, why bother teaching others?' The World Honored One then spoke a verse in reply: 'If there are those who wish to be free from Mara, and ask about the path to the other shore, I will explain it to them equally, truthfully, and without omission, always practicing without negligence, and they will forever be free from Mara's control.' The demon then spoke another verse: 'There is a stone that looks like a piece of meat, a hungry crow comes wanting to eat it, thinking it is soft and delicious food, wanting to fill its hunger, but in the end it cannot taste it, breaks its beak and flies away, I am now like that crow, Gautama is like that stone, unwilling to give up and leaving, like a crow flying into the sky, with sorrow and hatred in my heart, I disappear from sight.'


。」

(二四七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城耆阇崛山。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若沙門、婆羅門眼習近於色,則隨魔所自在,乃至不得解脫魔系。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。

「若沙門、婆羅門眼不習近於色,不隨魔,自在,乃至得解脫魔系。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如習近,如是繫著、如是味、如是鄰聚,若使受持繫著,我所求欲,淳濃不捨,亦如上說。

(二四八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波吒利弗多羅國雞林園。

爾時,尊者阿難往詣尊者大純陀所,共相問訊已,於一面坐。

爾時,尊者阿難語尊者純陀言:「欲有所問,寧有閑暇見答與不?」

尊者純陀語尊者阿難言:「隨仁所問,知者當答。」

尊者阿難問尊者純陀:「如世尊、如來、應、等正覺所知所見,說四大造色,施設顯露,此四大色非我,如來、應、等正覺所知所見,亦復說識非我耶?」

尊者純陀語尊者阿難言:「仁者最為多聞,我從遠來詣尊者所,為問此法故,今日,尊者!唯愿為說此義。」

尊者阿難語純陀言:「我今問尊者,隨意見答。尊者純陀!為有眼、有色、有眼識不?」

答言:「有。」

尊者阿難復問:「為緣眼及色,生眼識不?」

答言:「如是。」

尊者阿難復問:「若眼及色生眼識,彼因、彼緣,為常、為無常?」

答言:「無常

現代漢語譯本 (二四七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的耆阇崛山。 當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『如果沙門或婆羅門習慣於眼睛接近色,就會被魔所控制,甚至無法從魔的束縛中解脫。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。』 『如果沙門或婆羅門不習慣於眼睛接近色,就不會被魔所控制,甚至可以從魔的束縛中解脫。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 像習慣接近一樣,像這樣執著、像這樣貪戀、像這樣聚集,如果使人受持執著,我所追求的慾望,濃厚而不捨棄,也像上面所說的那樣。 (二四八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在波吒利弗多羅國的雞林園。 當時,尊者阿難前往尊者大純陀那裡,互相問候之後,在一旁坐下。 當時,尊者阿難對尊者純陀說:『我想請教一些問題,您是否有空回答呢?』 尊者純陀對尊者阿難說:『您儘管問,知道的我會回答。』 尊者阿難問尊者純陀:『如世尊、如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,說四大所造的色,施設顯露,這四大色不是我,如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,也說識不是我嗎?』 尊者純陀對尊者阿難說:『您是最博學的,我從遠方來到您這裡,就是爲了請教這個法,今天,尊者!希望您能為我解釋這個道理。』 尊者阿難對純陀說:『我現在問您,請您根據自己的理解回答。尊者純陀!是否有眼睛、有色、有眼識呢?』 回答說:『有。』 尊者阿難又問:『是否因為眼睛和色,才產生眼識呢?』 回答說:『是的。』 尊者阿難又問:『如果眼睛和色產生眼識,那麼它們的因、它們的緣,是常還是無常呢?』 回答說:『無常。』

English version (Two Forty-Seven) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gijjhakuta in Rajagaha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'If a samana or brahmana is accustomed to the eye being close to forms, then they are under the control of Mara, and will not be able to be liberated from the bonds of Mara. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.' 'If a samana or brahmana is not accustomed to the eye being close to forms, then they are not under the control of Mara, and will be able to be liberated from the bonds of Mara. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. Just as with being accustomed to being close, so too with being attached, so too with savoring, so too with gathering, if one holds onto attachment, the desires that I seek, are intense and not relinquished, it is as described above. (Two Forty-Eight) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove in Pataliputta. Then, Venerable Ananda went to Venerable Maha Cunda, and after exchanging greetings, sat down to one side. Then, Venerable Ananda said to Venerable Cunda: 'I wish to ask you something, do you have the time to answer?' Venerable Cunda said to Venerable Ananda: 'Ask whatever you wish, I will answer what I know.' Venerable Ananda asked Venerable Cunda: 'As the Blessed One, the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One knows and sees, he speaks of the four great elements that create form, establishing and revealing them, these four great elements are not self, does the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One also say that consciousness is not self?' Venerable Cunda said to Venerable Ananda: 'You are the most learned, I have come from afar to you, to ask about this Dharma, today, Venerable! I hope you can explain this meaning to me.' Venerable Ananda said to Cunda: 'I will now ask you, please answer according to your understanding. Venerable Cunda! Is there an eye, is there a form, is there eye-consciousness?' He replied: 'There is.' Venerable Ananda asked again: 'Is it because of the eye and form that eye-consciousness arises?' He replied: 'Yes, it is.' Venerable Ananda asked again: 'If eye-consciousness arises from the eye and form, are their causes and conditions permanent or impermanent?' He replied: 'Impermanent.'


。」

尊者阿難又問:「彼因、彼緣生眼識,彼因、彼緣無常變易時,彼識住耶?」

答曰:「不也,尊者阿難!」

尊者阿難復問:「于意云何?彼法若生、若滅可知,多聞聖弟子于中寧見是我、異我、相在不?」

答曰:「不也,尊者阿難!」

「耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法,于意云何?有意、有法、有意識不?」

答曰:「有。尊者阿難!」

復問:「為緣意及法,生意識不?」

答曰:「如是,尊者阿難!」

復問:「若意緣法生意識,彼因、彼緣,為常、為無常。」

答曰:「無常。尊者阿難!」

復問:「若因、若緣生意識,彼因、彼緣無常變易時,意識住耶?」

答曰:「不也,尊者阿難!」

復問:「于意云何?彼法若生、若滅可知,多聞聖弟子寧于中見我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也,尊者阿難!」

尊者阿難語純陀言:「是故,尊者!而如來、應、等正覺所知所見,說識亦無常。譬如士夫持斧入山,見芭蕉樹,謂堪材用,斷根、截斫葉葉、剝皮,求其堅實,剝至於盡,都無堅處。如是多聞聖弟子正觀眼識,耳、鼻、舌、身、意識。當正觀時,都無可取,無可取故,無所著,無所著故,自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

彼二正士說是法時,展轉隨喜,各還其所。

(二四九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 阿難尊者又問:『眼識的產生依賴於因和緣,當這些因緣無常變化時,眼識還會存在嗎?』 回答說:『不會的,阿難尊者!』 阿難尊者又問:『你認為如何?如果一個法(現象)的生起和滅去是可以被知曉的,那麼博學多聞的聖弟子會認為其中有「我」、「異於我」或「存在於我之中」嗎?』 回答說:『不會的,阿難尊者!』 『對於耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法,你認為如何?有意識、有法、有意識嗎?』 回答說:『有的,阿難尊者!』 又問:『意識的產生是依賴於意和法嗎?』 回答說:『是的,阿難尊者!』 又問:『如果意識的產生依賴於意和法,那麼這些因和緣是常還是無常呢?』 回答說:『是無常的,阿難尊者!』 又問:『如果意識的產生依賴於因和緣,當這些因緣無常變化時,意識還會存在嗎?』 回答說:『不會的,阿難尊者!』 又問:『你認為如何?如果一個法(現象)的生起和滅去是可以被知曉的,那麼博學多聞的聖弟子會認為其中有「我」、「異於我」或「存在於我之中」嗎?』 回答說:『不會的,阿難尊者!』 阿難尊者對純陀說:『因此,尊者!如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,說識也是無常的。譬如一個人拿著斧頭進山,看到芭蕉樹,認為可以做材料,就砍斷根,砍掉葉子,剝開樹皮,想要找到堅實的部分,一直剝到最後,都沒有找到堅實的地方。同樣,博學多聞的聖弟子正確地觀察眼識、耳識、鼻識、舌識、身識、意識。當正確觀察時,都找不到可以執取的東西,因為沒有可以執取的東西,所以就不會執著,因為沒有執著,所以自己覺悟到涅槃:「我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來生。」』 這兩位正士在談論這個法時,互相隨喜,然後各自回到自己的地方。 (二四九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version Venerable Ananda then asked: 'When eye-consciousness arises due to a cause and condition, and that cause and condition are subject to impermanent change, does that consciousness remain?' The answer was: 'No, Venerable Ananda!' Venerable Ananda further asked: 'What do you think? If a phenomenon's arising and ceasing are knowable, would a well-learned noble disciple see in it 'I', 'different from I', or 'existing within I'?' The answer was: 'No, Venerable Ananda!' 'Regarding ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, and phenomena, what do you think? Is there mind, phenomena, and consciousness?' The answer was: 'Yes, Venerable Ananda!' He further asked: 'Does consciousness arise dependent on mind and phenomena?' The answer was: 'Yes, Venerable Ananda!' He further asked: 'If consciousness arises dependent on mind and phenomena, are those causes and conditions permanent or impermanent?' The answer was: 'Impermanent, Venerable Ananda!' He further asked: 'If consciousness arises dependent on a cause and condition, and that cause and condition are subject to impermanent change, does that consciousness remain?' The answer was: 'No, Venerable Ananda!' He further asked: 'What do you think? If a phenomenon's arising and ceasing are knowable, would a well-learned noble disciple see in it 'I', 'different from I', or 'existing within I'?' The answer was: 'No, Venerable Ananda!' Venerable Ananda said to Cunda: 'Therefore, Venerable One! What the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One knows and sees, says that consciousness is also impermanent. It is like a man taking an axe into the mountains, seeing a banana tree, thinking it can be used for material, cutting its roots, chopping off its leaves, peeling its bark, seeking something solid, and peeling it all the way to the end, finding nothing solid. Similarly, a well-learned noble disciple correctly observes eye-consciousness, ear-consciousness, nose-consciousness, tongue-consciousness, body-consciousness, and mind-consciousness. When observing correctly, nothing can be grasped, and because nothing can be grasped, there is no attachment, and because there is no attachment, one realizes Nirvana: 'My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, I know that there will be no further existence.'' While these two righteous men were discussing this Dharma, they rejoiced in each other's words, and then each returned to their own place. (249) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


爾時,尊者阿難詣尊者舍利弗所,語尊者舍利弗:「欲有所問,寧有閑暇為解說不?」

舍利弗言:「隨仁所問,知者當答。」

尊者阿難問尊者舍利弗:「六觸入處盡,離欲、滅、息、沒已,更有餘不?」

尊者舍利弗語阿難言:「莫作此問:『六觸入處盡,離欲、滅、息、沒已,更有餘不?』」

阿難又問尊者舍利弗:「六觸入處盡,離欲、滅、息、沒已,無有餘耶?」

尊者舍利弗答阿難言:「亦復不應作如是問:『六觸入處盡,離欲、滅、息、沒已,無有餘耶?』」

阿難復問尊者舍利弗:「六觸入處盡,離欲、滅、息、沒已,有餘無餘、非有餘非無餘耶?」

尊者舍利弗答阿難言:「此亦不應作如此問:『六觸入處盡,離欲、滅、息、沒已,有餘無餘、非有餘非無餘耶?』」

尊者阿難又問舍利弗:「如尊者所說:『六觸入處盡,離欲、滅、息、沒已,有亦不應說,無亦不應說,有無亦不應說,非有非無亦不應說。』此語有何義?」

尊者舍利弗語尊者阿難:「六觸入處盡,離欲、滅、息、沒已,有餘耶?此則虛言。無餘耶?此則虛言。有餘無餘耶?此則虛言。非有餘非無餘耶?此則虛言。若言六觸入處盡,離欲、滅、息、沒已,離諸虛偽,得般涅槃,此則佛說。」

時,二正士展轉隨喜,各還本處。

(二五〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,尊者舍利弗、尊者摩訶拘絺羅俱在耆阇崛山

現代漢語譯本: 當時,尊者阿難前往尊者舍利弗的住所,對尊者舍利弗說:『我想請教一些問題,您是否有空閑時間為我解答呢?』 舍利弗說:『請隨意發問,知道的我會回答。』 尊者阿難問尊者舍利弗:『六種觸覺的入口完全消失,脫離了慾望、滅盡、止息、消沒之後,還存在剩餘嗎?』 尊者舍利弗對阿難說:『不要這樣問:「六種觸覺的入口完全消失,脫離了慾望、滅盡、止息、消沒之後,還存在剩餘嗎?」』 阿難又問尊者舍利弗:『六種觸覺的入口完全消失,脫離了慾望、滅盡、止息、消沒之後,不存在剩餘嗎?』 尊者舍利弗回答阿難說:『也不應該這樣問:「六種觸覺的入口完全消失,脫離了慾望、滅盡、止息、消沒之後,不存在剩餘嗎?」』 阿難又問尊者舍利弗:『六種觸覺的入口完全消失,脫離了慾望、滅盡、止息、消沒之後,是存在剩餘還是不存在剩餘,或者既非存在剩餘也非不存在剩餘呢?』 尊者舍利弗回答阿難說:『也不應該這樣問:「六種觸覺的入口完全消失,脫離了慾望、滅盡、止息、消沒之後,是存在剩餘還是不存在剩餘,或者既非存在剩餘也非不存在剩餘呢?」』 尊者阿難又問舍利弗:『正如您所說:「六種觸覺的入口完全消失,脫離了慾望、滅盡、止息、消沒之後,存在也不應該說,不存在也不應該說,存在和不存在都不應該說,既非存在也非不存在也不應該說。」這句話是什麼意思呢?』 尊者舍利弗對尊者阿難說:『六種觸覺的入口完全消失,脫離了慾望、滅盡、止息、消沒之後,說存在剩餘嗎?這是虛妄的說法。說不存在剩餘嗎?這是虛妄的說法。說既存在剩餘又不存在剩餘嗎?這是虛妄的說法。說既非存在剩餘也非不存在剩餘嗎?這是虛妄的說法。如果說六種觸覺的入口完全消失,脫離了慾望、滅盡、止息、消沒之後,就脫離了一切虛妄,證得了涅槃,這才是佛陀所說的。』 當時,兩位正士互相隨喜讚歎,各自回到自己的住所。 (二五〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,尊者舍利弗和尊者摩訶拘絺羅一同在耆阇崛山。

English version: At that time, Venerable Ananda went to where Venerable Sariputra was, and said to Venerable Sariputra, 'I wish to ask something; do you have the leisure to explain it?' Sariputra said, 'Ask whatever you wish; I will answer what I know.' Venerable Ananda asked Venerable Sariputra, 'When the six sense bases have ceased, and one is detached from desire, extinguished, ceased, and passed away, is there anything remaining?' Venerable Sariputra said to Ananda, 'Do not ask this question: 「When the six sense bases have ceased, and one is detached from desire, extinguished, ceased, and passed away, is there anything remaining?」' Ananda again asked Venerable Sariputra, 'When the six sense bases have ceased, and one is detached from desire, extinguished, ceased, and passed away, is there nothing remaining?' Venerable Sariputra answered Ananda, 'Nor should you ask this question: 「When the six sense bases have ceased, and one is detached from desire, extinguished, ceased, and passed away, is there nothing remaining?」' Ananda again asked Venerable Sariputra, 'When the six sense bases have ceased, and one is detached from desire, extinguished, ceased, and passed away, is there something remaining, or nothing remaining, or neither something remaining nor nothing remaining?' Venerable Sariputra answered Ananda, 'Nor should you ask this question: 「When the six sense bases have ceased, and one is detached from desire, extinguished, ceased, and passed away, is there something remaining, or nothing remaining, or neither something remaining nor nothing remaining?」' Venerable Ananda again asked Sariputra, 'As you said: 「When the six sense bases have ceased, and one is detached from desire, extinguished, ceased, and passed away, it should not be said that there is, nor should it be said that there is not, nor should it be said that there is and there is not, nor should it be said that there is neither nor is not.」 What is the meaning of this statement?' Venerable Sariputra said to Venerable Ananda, 'When the six sense bases have ceased, and one is detached from desire, extinguished, ceased, and passed away, is there something remaining? This is a false statement. Is there nothing remaining? This is a false statement. Is there both something remaining and nothing remaining? This is a false statement. Is there neither something remaining nor nothing remaining? This is a false statement. If it is said that when the six sense bases have ceased, and one is detached from desire, extinguished, ceased, and passed away, one is detached from all falsehood and attains Nirvana, this is what the Buddha taught.' Then, the two noble ones rejoiced in each other's words and returned to their respective places. (250) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, Venerable Sariputra and Venerable Maha Kaushtila were together on Gijjhakuta Mountain.


尊者摩訶拘絺羅晡時從禪覺,詣尊者舍利弗所,共相問訊已,退坐一面,語舍利弗言:「欲有所問,寧有閑暇見答已不?」

尊者舍利弗語摩訶拘絺羅:「隨仁所問,知者當答。」

尊者摩訶拘絺羅問尊者舍利弗言:「云何?尊者舍利弗,眼系色耶?色系眼耶?耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法,意系法耶?法系意耶?」

尊者舍利弗答尊者摩訶拘絺羅言:「非眼系色,非色系眼,乃至非意系法,非法系意,尊者摩訶拘絺羅,于其中間,若彼欲貪,是其系也。尊者摩訶拘絺羅!譬如二牛,一黑一白,共一軛鞅縛系,人問言:『為黑牛系白牛,為白牛系黑牛。』為等問不?」

答言:「不也,尊者舍利弗!非黑牛系白牛,亦非白牛系黑牛,然于中間,若軛、若系鞅者,是彼繫縛。」

「如是,尊者摩訶拘絺羅!非眼系色,非色系眼,乃至非意系法,非法系意,中間欲貪,是其系也。

「尊者摩訶拘絺羅!若眼系色,若色系眼,乃至若意系法,若法系意,世尊不教人建立梵行,得盡苦邊,以非眼系色,非色系眼,乃至非意系法,非法系意,故世尊教人建立梵行,得盡苦邊。

「尊者摩訶拘絺羅!世尊眼見色若好、若惡,不起欲貪,其餘眾生眼若見色若好、若惡,則起欲貪,是故世尊說當斷欲貪,則心解脫,乃至意、法亦復如是。」

時,二正士展轉隨喜,各還本處。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,尊者舍利弗、尊者摩訶拘絺羅俱在耆阇崛山中

現代漢語譯本 尊者摩訶拘絺羅在下午從禪定中醒來,前往尊者舍利弗的住所,互相問候之後,退坐在一旁,對舍利弗說:『我想請教一些問題,您是否有空閑時間解答呢?』 尊者舍利弗對摩訶拘絺羅說:『請隨意發問,知道的我會回答。』 尊者摩訶拘絺羅問尊者舍利弗:『請問,尊者舍利弗,是眼睛束縛于顏色呢?還是顏色束縛于眼睛呢?耳朵與聲音、鼻子與氣味、舌頭與味道、身體與觸感、意識與法,是意識束縛於法呢?還是法束縛于意識呢?』 尊者舍利弗回答尊者摩訶拘絺羅說:『不是眼睛束縛于顏色,也不是顏色束縛于眼睛,乃至不是意識束縛於法,也不是法束縛于意識。尊者摩訶拘絺羅,在這兩者之間,如果存在慾望和貪婪,那才是真正的束縛。尊者摩訶拘絺羅!比如兩頭牛,一黑一白,用同一個軛套在一起,有人問:『是黑牛束縛著白牛,還是白牛束縛著黑牛?』這樣的問題對嗎?』 摩訶拘絺羅回答說:『不對,尊者舍利弗!不是黑牛束縛著白牛,也不是白牛束縛著黑牛,而是在它們之間,是那個軛和系鞅束縛著它們。』 『正是如此,尊者摩訶拘絺羅!不是眼睛束縛于顏色,也不是顏色束縛于眼睛,乃至不是意識束縛於法,也不是法束縛于意識,而是中間的慾望和貪婪才是真正的束縛。』 『尊者摩訶拘絺羅!如果眼睛束縛于顏色,或者顏色束縛于眼睛,乃至意識束縛於法,或者法束縛于意識,世尊就不會教導人們建立梵行,以達到解脫痛苦的彼岸。正因為不是眼睛束縛于顏色,也不是顏色束縛于眼睛,乃至不是意識束縛於法,也不是法束縛于意識,所以世尊才教導人們建立梵行,以達到解脫痛苦的彼岸。』 『尊者摩訶拘絺羅!世尊的眼睛看到美好的或醜陋的顏色,不會產生慾望和貪婪,而其他眾生的眼睛看到美好的或醜陋的顏色,就會產生慾望和貪婪。因此,世尊教導要斷除慾望和貪婪,心才能得到解脫,乃至意識和法也是如此。』 當時,兩位正士互相隨喜讚歎,各自回到自己的住所。 (二五一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,尊者舍利弗和尊者摩訶拘絺羅一同在耆阇崛山中。

English version Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila, in the afternoon, arose from meditation and went to where Venerable Śāriputra was. After exchanging greetings, he sat down to one side and said to Śāriputra, 『I have some questions to ask. Do you have the time to answer them?』 Venerable Śāriputra said to Mahākoṭṭhila, 『Ask whatever you wish. I will answer what I know.』 Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila asked Venerable Śāriputra, 『Tell me, Venerable Śāriputra, is the eye bound to form, or is form bound to the eye? Is the ear bound to sound, the nose to smell, the tongue to taste, the body to touch, the mind to mental objects? Is the mind bound to mental objects, or are mental objects bound to the mind?』 Venerable Śāriputra replied to Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila, 『It is not that the eye is bound to form, nor is form bound to the eye, and so on, it is not that the mind is bound to mental objects, nor are mental objects bound to the mind. Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila, in between them, if there is desire and craving, that is the binding. Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila! It is like two oxen, one black and one white, yoked together. If someone asks, 『Is the black ox bound to the white ox, or is the white ox bound to the black ox?』 is that a proper question?』 Mahākoṭṭhila replied, 『No, Venerable Śāriputra! It is not that the black ox is bound to the white ox, nor is the white ox bound to the black ox, but in between them, it is the yoke and the harness that bind them.』 『Just so, Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila! It is not that the eye is bound to form, nor is form bound to the eye, and so on, it is not that the mind is bound to mental objects, nor are mental objects bound to the mind, but the desire and craving in between are the binding.』 『Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila! If the eye were bound to form, or form to the eye, and so on, if the mind were bound to mental objects, or mental objects to the mind, the Blessed One would not teach people to establish the holy life to reach the end of suffering. Because it is not that the eye is bound to form, nor form to the eye, and so on, it is not that the mind is bound to mental objects, nor mental objects to the mind, therefore the Blessed One teaches people to establish the holy life to reach the end of suffering.』 『Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila! When the Blessed One』s eye sees a form, whether good or bad, he does not generate desire and craving. But when other beings』 eyes see a form, whether good or bad, they generate desire and craving. Therefore, the Blessed One teaches that when desire and craving are abandoned, the mind is liberated, and so it is with the mind and mental objects.』 Then, the two noble ones rejoiced in each other』s words and returned to their own places. (251) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, Venerable Śāriputra and Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila were together on Mount Gijjhakūṭa.


尊者摩訶拘絺羅晡時從禪覺,詣尊者舍利弗所,共相問訊已,退坐一面,語尊者舍利弗:「欲有所問,寧有閑暇見答已不?」

舍利弗言:「隨仁所問,知者當答。」

尊者摩訶拘絺羅問尊者舍利弗言:「謂無明者。云何為無明?」

尊者舍利弗言:「所謂無知,無知者是為無明。云何無知?謂眼無常不如實知,是名無知,眼生滅法不如實知,是名無知。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。如是,尊者摩訶拘絺羅!於此六觸入處如實不知、不見、不無間等、愚闇、無明、大冥,是名無明。」

尊者摩訶拘絺羅又問尊者舍利弗:「所謂明者。云何為明?」

舍利弗言:「所謂為知,知者是明,為何所知?謂眼無常、眼無常如實知,眼生滅法、眼生滅法如實知。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。尊者摩訶拘絺羅!於此六觸入處如實知、見、明、覺、悟、慧、無間等,是名為明。」

時,二正士各聞所說,展轉隨喜,各還其所。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有比丘名優波先那,住王舍城寒林中塳間蛇頭巖下迦陵伽行處。時,尊者優波先那獨一于內坐禪。

時,有惡毒蛇長尺許,于上石間墮優波先那身上,優波先那喚舍利弗:「語諸比丘,毒蛇墮我身上,我身中毒,汝等駛來,扶持我身,出置於外,莫令于內身壞碎,如糠糟聚

現代漢語譯本: 尊者摩訶拘絺羅在下午從禪定中醒來,前往尊者舍利弗的住所,互相問候之後,退坐在一旁,對尊者舍利弗說:『我有些問題想請教,您是否有空閑時間解答呢?』 舍利弗說:『請隨意發問,知道的我會回答。』 尊者摩訶拘絺羅問尊者舍利弗:『所謂無明,什麼是無明呢?』 尊者舍利弗說:『所謂無知,無知就是無明。什麼是無知呢?就是對眼睛的無常不如實知,這稱為無知;對眼睛的生滅法不如實知,這稱為無知。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。摩訶拘絺羅尊者,對於這六種接觸的入口處,不能如實地知曉、看見、不通達、愚昧、黑暗、不明,這就是無明。』 尊者摩訶拘絺羅又問尊者舍利弗:『所謂明,什麼是明呢?』 舍利弗說:『所謂知,知就是明。知道什麼呢?就是知道眼睛是無常的,如實地知道眼睛是無常的;知道眼睛是生滅法,如實地知道眼睛是生滅法。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。摩訶拘絺羅尊者,對於這六種接觸的入口處,能夠如實地知曉、看見、明瞭、覺悟、領會、有智慧、通達,這就是明。』 當時,兩位正士各自聽聞對方所說,互相隨喜讚歎,然後各自回到自己的住所。

(二五二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

當時,有一位比丘名叫優波先那,住在王舍城寒林中的墳地,在蛇頭巖下的迦陵伽行處。當時,尊者優波先那獨自一人在室內坐禪。

當時,有一條大約一尺長的毒蛇,從上面的石頭縫隙掉到優波先那的身上,優波先那呼喚舍利弗:『告訴各位比丘,毒蛇掉到我身上,我身中毒了,你們快來,扶持我的身體,將我移到外面,不要讓我的身體在裡面破碎,像糠糟一樣。』

English version: Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila, in the afternoon, arose from meditation and went to the place of Venerable Śāriputra. After exchanging greetings, he sat down to one side and said to Venerable Śāriputra, 'I have some questions to ask. Do you have the leisure to answer them?' Śāriputra said, 'Ask whatever you wish. I will answer what I know.' Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila asked Venerable Śāriputra, 'Regarding ignorance, what is ignorance?' Venerable Śāriputra said, 'What is called unknowing, that unknowing is ignorance. What is unknowing? It is not truly knowing that the eye is impermanent; this is called unknowing. It is not truly knowing that the eye is subject to arising and ceasing; this is called unknowing. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila, not truly knowing, seeing, understanding, being foolish, dark, and unclear regarding these six sense bases, this is called ignorance.' Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila again asked Venerable Śāriputra, 'Regarding knowledge, what is knowledge?' Śāriputra said, 'What is called knowing, that knowing is knowledge. What is knowing? It is knowing that the eye is impermanent, truly knowing that the eye is impermanent; knowing that the eye is subject to arising and ceasing, truly knowing that the eye is subject to arising and ceasing. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila, truly knowing, seeing, being clear, awakened, comprehending, having wisdom, and understanding regarding these six sense bases, this is called knowledge.' At that time, the two noble ones, having each heard what the other had said, rejoiced in each other's words and then returned to their own places.

(252)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rājagṛha.

At that time, there was a bhikkhu named Upasena, who was staying in the charnel ground in the Cold Forest of Rājagṛha, at the place of the Kalinga walk under the Serpent's Head Rock. At that time, Venerable Upasena was sitting alone in meditation.

At that time, a poisonous snake about a foot long fell from a crack in the rock above onto Upasena's body. Upasena called out to Śāriputra, 'Tell the bhikkhus that a poisonous snake has fallen on me, and I have been poisoned. Come quickly, support my body, and take me outside, lest my body be broken inside like a pile of chaff.'


。」

時,尊者舍利弗于近處,住一樹下,聞優波先那語,即詣優波先那所,語優波先那言:「我今觀汝色貌,諸根不異於常,而言中毒,持我身出,莫令散壞,如糠糟聚,竟為云何?」

優波先那語舍利弗言:「若當有言:『我眼是我、我所。耳、鼻、舌、身、意。耳、鼻、舌、身、意是我、我所。色、聲、香、味、觸、法,色、聲、香、味、觸、法是我、我所。地界,地界是我、我所。水、火、風、空、識界,水、火、風、空、識界是我、我所。色陰,色陰是我、我所。受、想、行、識陰,受、想、行、識陰是我、我所』者,面色諸根應有變異。我今不爾,眼非我、我所;乃至識陰非我、我所,是故面色諸根無有變異。」

舍利弗言:「如是,優波先那!汝若長夜離我、我所、我慢繫著使,斷其根本,如截多羅樹頭,于未來世永不復起,云何面色諸根當有變異。」

時,舍利弗即周匝扶持優波先那身出於窟外,優波先那身中毒碎壞,如聚糠糟。

時,舍利弗即說偈言:

「久殖諸梵行,  善修八聖道,  歡喜而舍壽,  猶如棄毒缽。  久殖諸梵行,  善修八聖道,  歡喜而舍壽,  如人重病癒。  久殖諸梵行,  善修八聖道,  如出火燒宅,  臨死無憂悔,  久殖諸梵行,  善修八聖道,  以慧觀世間,  猶如穢草木,  不復更求余,  余亦不相續

當時,尊者舍利弗在附近一棵樹下,聽到優波先那說的話,就來到優波先那那裡,對優波先那說:『我觀察你的臉色和容貌,各個器官都和往常一樣,你說自己中毒了,要我扶你出去,不要讓身體像糠糟一樣散壞,這到底是怎麼回事?』 優波先那對舍利弗說:『如果有人說:「我的眼睛是『我』和『我的』。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識是『我』和『我的』。顏色、聲音、氣味、味道、觸感、法,顏色、聲音、氣味、味道、觸感、法是『我』和『我的』。地界,地界是『我』和『我的』。水、火、風、空、識界,水、火、風、空、識界是『我』和『我的』。色陰,色陰是『我』和『我的』。受、想、行、識陰,受、想、行、識陰是『我』和『我的』」,那麼他的臉色和器官應該會有變化。我現在不是這樣,眼睛不是『我』和『我的』;乃至識陰不是『我』和『我的』,所以臉色和器官沒有變化。』 舍利弗說:『是這樣的,優波先那!如果你長久以來已經遠離了『我』、『我的』、我慢的束縛,斷除了它們的根本,就像砍斷了多羅樹的樹頭,在未來世永遠不會再產生,那麼臉色和器官怎麼會有變化呢?』 當時,舍利弗就小心地扶著優波先那的身體出了洞窟,優波先那的身體因為中毒而碎裂,像一堆糠糟。 當時,舍利弗就說了偈語: 『長久以來修習清凈的梵行,善於修習八聖道,歡喜地捨棄壽命,就像丟棄毒藥缽一樣。 長久以來修習清凈的梵行,善於修習八聖道,歡喜地捨棄壽命,就像重病痊癒的人一樣。 長久以來修習清凈的梵行,善於修習八聖道,就像從被火燒的房子里出來一樣,臨死沒有憂愁和後悔。 長久以來修習清凈的梵行,善於修習八聖道,用智慧觀察世間,就像污穢的草木一樣。 不再追求其他,其他也不會再延續。』

At that time, the Venerable Sariputra was nearby, dwelling under a tree. Hearing Upasena's words, he went to Upasena and said, 'I observe your complexion and appearance, your faculties are no different from usual, yet you say you are poisoned and ask me to support you out, lest your body break apart like a pile of chaff. What is the matter?' Upasena said to Sariputra, 'If someone were to say: 「My eye is 『I』 and 『mine』. Ear, nose, tongue, body, mind. Ear, nose, tongue, body, mind are 『I』 and 『mine』. Form, sound, smell, taste, touch, dharma, form, sound, smell, taste, touch, dharma are 『I』 and 『mine』. The earth element, the earth element is 『I』 and 『mine』. Water, fire, wind, space, consciousness element, water, fire, wind, space, consciousness element are 『I』 and 『mine』. The form aggregate, the form aggregate is 『I』 and 『mine』. Sensation, perception, mental formations, consciousness aggregate, sensation, perception, mental formations, consciousness aggregate are 『I』 and 『mine』,」 then their complexion and faculties should be different. I am not like that now. The eye is not 『I』 or 『mine』; even the consciousness aggregate is not 『I』 or 『mine』, therefore my complexion and faculties are not different.' Sariputra said, 'So it is, Upasena! If you have long since departed from the fetters of 『I』, 『mine』, and the conceit of 『I』, cutting off their roots, like severing the top of a palmyra tree, never to arise again in the future, how could your complexion and faculties be different?' Then, Sariputra carefully supported Upasena's body out of the cave. Upasena's body, due to the poison, broke apart like a pile of chaff. Then, Sariputra spoke these verses: 'Having long cultivated pure conduct, well practiced the Noble Eightfold Path, joyfully relinquishing life, like discarding a poisoned bowl. Having long cultivated pure conduct, well practiced the Noble Eightfold Path, joyfully relinquishing life, like a person recovered from a serious illness. Having long cultivated pure conduct, well practiced the Noble Eightfold Path, like emerging from a burning house, facing death without worry or regret. Having long cultivated pure conduct, well practiced the Noble Eightfold Path, viewing the world with wisdom, like impure grass and wood. No longer seeking anything else, nor will anything else continue.'


。」

時,尊者舍利弗供養優波先那尸已,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!尊者優波先那有小惡毒蛇,如治眼籌,墮其身上,其身即壞,如聚糠糟。」

佛告舍利弗:「若優波先那誦此偈者,則不中毒,身亦不壞,如聚糠糟。」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!誦何等偈?何等辭句?」

佛即為舍利弗而說偈言:

「常慈念于彼,  堅固賴吒羅,  慈伊羅槃那,  尸婆弗多羅,  欽婆羅上馬,  亦慈迦拘吒,  及彼黑瞿曇,  難徒跋難陀。  慈悲于無足,  及以二足者,  四足與多足,  亦悉起慈悲,  慈悲于諸龍,  依於水陸者,  慈一切眾生,  有量及無量,  安樂於一切,  亦離煩惱生,  欲令一切賢,  一切莫生惡。  常住蛇頭巖,  眾惡不來集,  兇害惡毒蛇,  能害眾生命,  如此真諦言,  無上大師說,  我今誦習此,  大師真實語,  一切諸惡毒,  無能害我身。  貪慾瞋恚癡,  世間之三毒,  如此三毒惡,  永除名佛寶,  法寶滅眾毒,  僧寶亦無餘,  破壞兇惡毒,  攝受護善人,  佛破一切毒,  汝蛇毒今破。」

故說是咒術章句,所謂:

「塢耽婆隸 耽婆隸 航陸波婆耽陸 㮈渧 肅㮈渧 抧跋渧 文那移 三摩移 檀諦 尼羅枳施 婆羅拘閉塢隸 塢娛隸」悉波呵

「舍利弗!優波先那善男子爾時說此偈,說此章句者,蛇毒不能中其身,身亦不壞,如糠糟聚

現代漢語譯本: 當時,尊者舍利弗供養完優波先那的遺體后,前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!尊者優波先那被一條像治療眼疾的探針一樣小的毒蛇咬到,身體立刻潰爛,像一堆糠秕一樣。』 佛陀告訴舍利弗:『如果優波先那誦唸這首偈頌,就不會中毒,身體也不會潰爛,像一堆糠秕一樣。』 舍利弗問佛陀:『世尊!誦唸的是什麼偈頌?是什麼樣的辭句?』 佛陀就為舍利弗說了這首偈頌: 『常以慈心念彼,堅固的賴吒羅,慈愛的伊羅槃那,尸婆弗多羅,欽婆羅上馬,也慈愛迦拘吒,以及黑瞿曇,難徒跋難陀。 慈悲對待無足的,以及有二足的,四足的和多足的,都生起慈悲心,慈悲對待所有的龍,依附於水陸的眾生,慈愛一切眾生,有量的和無量的,讓一切都安樂,也遠離煩惱的產生,希望一切都賢善,一切都不生惡。 常住在蛇頭巖,各種惡事不會聚集,兇猛的毒蛇,能傷害眾生的生命,如此真實的話語,無上的大師所說,我今天誦習這些,大師真實的話語,一切的惡毒,都不能傷害我的身體。 貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡,是世間的三種毒,如此三種毒惡,永遠去除名為佛寶,法寶滅除眾毒,僧寶也無餘,破壞兇惡的毒,攝受保護善良的人,佛陀破除一切毒,你的蛇毒現在被破除了。』 所以說了這個咒術章句,就是: 『塢耽婆隸,耽婆隸,航陸波婆耽陸,㮈渧,肅㮈渧,抧跋渧,文那移,三摩移,檀諦,尼羅枳施,婆羅拘閉塢隸,塢娛隸』悉波呵 『舍利弗!善男子優波先那當時誦唸這首偈頌,誦唸這個章句,蛇毒就不能侵入他的身體,身體也不會潰爛,像一堆糠秕一樣。』

English version: At that time, after Venerable Sariputra had finished attending to the remains of Upasena, he went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and sat to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! Venerable Upasena was bitten by a small poisonous snake, as small as a probe for treating eye diseases, and his body immediately decayed, like a pile of chaff.' The Buddha told Sariputra, 'If Upasena had recited this verse, he would not have been poisoned, and his body would not have decayed, like a pile of chaff.' Sariputra asked the Buddha, 'World Honored One! What verse should be recited? What are the words and phrases?' The Buddha then spoke this verse for Sariputra: 'Always with a compassionate mind towards them, the steadfast Rastra, the compassionate Iravana, Siva-putra, Kimbara-upama, also compassionate to Kakuta, and to Black Gautama, Nanda and Upananda. Compassion towards the footless, and those with two feet, the four-footed and the many-footed, all arise with compassion, compassion towards all dragons, those who dwell on land and water, compassion towards all beings, the measurable and the immeasurable, let all be at peace, and also be free from the arising of afflictions, wishing all to be virtuous, and that none should give rise to evil. Always dwelling on the serpent's head rock, all evils will not gather, the fierce poisonous snakes, capable of harming the lives of beings, such is the true word, spoken by the unsurpassed master, I now recite and practice these, the master's true words, all evil poisons, will not be able to harm my body. Greed, hatred, and delusion, are the three poisons of the world, such three evil poisons, are forever removed and are called the Buddha Jewel, the Dharma Jewel extinguishes all poisons, the Sangha Jewel also without remainder, destroys fierce evil poisons, embraces and protects the good people, the Buddha destroys all poisons, your snake poison is now destroyed.' Therefore, this mantra chapter and verse was spoken, which is: 'Utambare, Tambare, Hanglukpava-tamluk, Nadi, Suknadi, Jivadi, Manayi, Samayi, Dandi, Nilakisi, Parakupi-ure, Uvure' Svaha 'Sariputra! If the good man Upasena at that time had recited this verse, had recited this chapter and verse, the snake poison would not have entered his body, and his body would not have decayed, like a pile of chaff.'


。」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!優婆先那未曾聞此偈,未曾聞此咒術章句,世尊今日說此,正為當來世耳。」

尊者舍利弗聞佛所說,歡喜作禮而去。

(二五三)

如是我聞:

一時,尊者優陀夷往拘薩羅國人間遊行,至拘磐茶聚落,到毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼庵羅園中住。

時,毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼有諸年少弟子,遊行採樵,至庵羅園中,見尊者優陀夷坐一樹下,容貌端正,諸根寂靜,心意安諦,成就第一調伏。見已,往詣其所,共相問訊已,退坐一面。時,優陀夷為諸年少種種說法,勸勵已,默然而住,彼諸年少聞尊者優陀夷所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起去。

時,諸年少擔持束薪,還至毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼所,置薪束于地,詣毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼所,白言:「我和上尼,當知庵羅園中有沙門優陀夷,姓瞿曇氏,依于彼住,極善說法。」

毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼語諸年少言:「汝可往請沙門優陀夷瞿曇氏,明日於此飯食。」

時,諸年少弟子受毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼教已,往詣尊者優陀夷所,白優陀夷言:「尊者當知,我和上毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼請尊者優陀夷明旦飯食。」

時,優陀夷默然受請。

時,彼諸年少知優陀夷受請已,還歸和上毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼所,白言:「和上尼,我以和上尼語,請尊者優陀夷,尊者優陀夷默然受請,和上尼自知時。」

爾時,尊者優陀夷夜過晨朝,著衣持缽,往詣毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼舍

舍利弗對佛說:『世尊!優婆先那從未聽過這個偈頌,從未聽過這個咒語的章節語句。世尊今天說這些,正是爲了未來的世代啊。』 尊者舍利弗聽了佛所說,歡喜地行禮后離去。 (二五三) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,尊者優陀夷前往拘薩羅國游化,到達拘磐茶聚落,住在毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼的庵羅園中。 當時,毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼有一些年輕的弟子,他們去採樵,來到庵羅園中,看見尊者優陀夷坐在一棵樹下,容貌端正,諸根寂靜,心意安定,成就了最高的調伏。他們見了之後,走到他那裡,互相問候后,退坐在一旁。這時,優陀夷為這些年輕人說了各種佛法,勸勉他們,然後默默地住著。那些年輕人聽了尊者優陀夷所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位上起身離去。 當時,那些年輕人扛著柴火,回到毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼那裡,把柴火放在地上,走到毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼那裡,稟告說:『我們的和上尼,您要知道,庵羅園中有一位沙門優陀夷,姓瞿曇氏,住在那裡,非常善於說法。』 毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼對那些年輕人說:『你們可以去請沙門優陀夷瞿曇氏,明天到這裡來吃飯。』 當時,那些年輕的弟子接受了毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼的教導后,前往尊者優陀夷那裡,對優陀夷說:『尊者您要知道,我們的和上尼毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼請尊者優陀夷明天來吃飯。』 當時,優陀夷默默地接受了邀請。 當時,那些年輕人知道優陀夷接受了邀請后,回到和上毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼那裡,稟告說:『和上尼,我們按照您的吩咐,邀請了尊者優陀夷,尊者優陀夷默默地接受了邀請,和上尼您自己知道時間安排。』 那時,尊者優陀夷在夜晚過去,早晨來臨時,穿好衣服,拿著缽,前往毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼的住所。

Sariputta said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, Upasena has never heard this verse, never heard this chapter of mantras. The World Honored One speaks of this today, precisely for the sake of future generations.' Venerable Sariputta, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced, paid homage, and departed. (Two Fifty-Three) Thus have I heard: At one time, Venerable Udāyi was traveling in the Kosala country, and arrived at the village of Kūpāṇḍa, staying in the Amra garden of the Brahmin woman Viṇukācāyanī. At that time, Viṇukācāyanī had some young disciples who were gathering firewood. They came to the Amra garden and saw Venerable Udāyi sitting under a tree, with a handsome appearance, his senses calmed, his mind peaceful, and having achieved the highest self-control. Having seen him, they went to him, exchanged greetings, and sat down to one side. Then, Udāyi spoke various teachings to the young men, encouraged them, and then remained silent. Those young men, having heard what Venerable Udāyi said, rejoiced and, with gladness, rose from their seats and departed. At that time, those young men, carrying bundles of firewood, returned to Viṇukācāyanī, placed the bundles of firewood on the ground, and went to Viṇukācāyanī, saying, 'Our teacher, you should know that in the Amra garden there is a Śramaṇa Udāyi, of the Gotama clan, who is staying there and is very skilled in teaching the Dharma.' Viṇukācāyanī said to the young men, 'You may go and invite the Śramaṇa Udāyi Gotama to come here for a meal tomorrow.' At that time, the young disciples, having received the instructions of Viṇukācāyanī, went to Venerable Udāyi and said to Udāyi, 'Venerable Sir, you should know that our teacher Viṇukācāyanī invites Venerable Udāyi for a meal tomorrow.' At that time, Udāyi silently accepted the invitation. At that time, those young men, knowing that Udāyi had accepted the invitation, returned to their teacher Viṇukācāyanī and reported, 'Teacher, according to your instructions, we invited Venerable Udāyi, and Venerable Udāyi silently accepted the invitation. Teacher, you know the time.' Then, Venerable Udāyi, after the night had passed and morning had come, put on his robes, took his bowl, and went to the residence of Viṇukācāyanī.


。時,毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼遙見尊者優陀夷來,疾敷床座,請令就坐,設種種飲食,自手供養,豐美滿足。食已,澡嗽、洗缽訖,還就本座。

時,毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼知食已訖,著好革屣,以衣覆頭,別施高床,現起輕相,慠慢而坐,語優陀夷言:「欲有所問,寧有閑暇見答與不?」

優陀夷答言:「姊妹!今是非時。」作此語已,從坐起去。

如是。明日諸弟子復至庵羅園採樵聽法,還復白和上尼,和上尼復遣詣請食,如前三返,乃至請法,答言:「非時。」不為說法。

諸年少弟子復白和上尼,庵羅園中沙門優陀夷極善說法。

和上尼答言:「我亦知彼極善說法,再三請來,設食問法,常言非時,不說而去。」

諸弟子言和上尼:「著好革屣,以衣覆頭,不恭敬坐,彼云何說?所以者何?彼尊者優陀夷以敬法故,不說而去。」

和上尼答言:「若如是者,更為我請彼。」

諸弟子受教,更請供養如前。時,和上尼知食訖已,脫革屣,整衣服,更坐卑床,恭敬白言:「欲有所問,寧有閑暇見答與不?」

優陀夷答言:「汝今宜問,當爲汝說。」

彼即問言:「有沙門、婆羅門說苦樂自作,復有說言苦樂他作,復有說言苦樂自他作,復有說言苦樂非自非他作。尊者!復云何?」

尊者優陀夷答言:「姊妹!阿羅訶說苦樂異生,非如是說。」

婆羅門尼復問:「其義云何?」

優陀夷答言:「阿羅訶說:『從其因緣,生諸苦樂

現代漢語譯本:當時,毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼遠遠看見尊者優陀夷來了,趕緊鋪設床座,請他坐下,準備了各種飲食,親自供養,非常豐盛。吃完飯後,漱口、洗缽完畢,優陀夷回到原來的座位。 毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼知道他吃完飯了,就穿上好鞋子,用衣服矇住頭,另外擺設高床,裝出輕慢的樣子,傲慢地坐著,對優陀夷說:『我想問你一些問題,你現在有空回答嗎?』 優陀夷回答說:『姊妹,現在不是時候。』說完就起身離開了。 就這樣。第二天,弟子們又到庵羅園砍柴聽法,回來后又告訴和上尼,和上尼又派他們去請優陀夷吃飯,像之前一樣去了三次,甚至請他講法,優陀夷都回答說:『不是時候。』不給他們講法。 年輕的弟子們又告訴和上尼,庵羅園中的沙門優陀夷非常善於說法。 和上尼回答說:『我也知道他很善於說法,我再三請他來,準備飯食問他佛法,他總是說不是時候,然後就走了。』 弟子們對和上尼說:『您穿著好鞋子,用衣服蒙著頭,坐姿不恭敬,他怎麼會給您說法呢?因為尊者優陀夷是尊重佛法的,所以才不給您說法就離開了。』 和上尼回答說:『如果這樣的話,你們再為我請他來。』 弟子們接受了教誨,再次像之前一樣請優陀夷來供養。這時,和上尼知道優陀夷吃完飯了,就脫下鞋子,整理好衣服,換坐到矮床上,恭敬地說:『我想問您一些問題,您現在有空回答嗎?』 優陀夷回答說:『你現在可以問了,我會為你解答。』 她就問:『有的沙門、婆羅門說苦樂是自己造成的,有的說苦樂是他人造成的,有的說苦樂是自己和他人共同造成的,還有的說苦樂既不是自己也不是他人造成的。尊者,您認為呢?』 尊者優陀夷回答說:『姊妹,阿羅訶說苦樂是因緣所生,不是像他們說的那樣。』 婆羅門尼又問:『這是什麼意思呢?』 優陀夷回答說:『阿羅訶說:『從各種因緣,產生各種苦樂。』

English version: At that time, the Brahmin woman of Vinyukacayana saw the Venerable Udayi coming from afar. She quickly spread out a seat and invited him to sit down. She prepared various kinds of food and offered it with her own hands, making it abundant and satisfying. After he had eaten, rinsed his mouth, and washed his bowl, Udayi returned to his original seat. The Brahmin woman of Vinyukacayana, knowing that he had finished eating, put on fine leather shoes, covered her head with a cloth, set up a high bed, and, feigning a light and disdainful manner, sat arrogantly, saying to Udayi, 'I wish to ask you something. Do you have the leisure to answer or not?' Udayi replied, 'Sister, now is not the time.' Having said this, he rose from his seat and left. And so it was. The next day, the disciples again went to the Amra Garden to gather firewood and listen to the Dharma. They returned and told the Upasika, who again sent them to invite Udayi for a meal. They went three times as before, even asking him to teach the Dharma, but Udayi always replied, 'It is not the time,' and would not teach them. The young disciples then told the Upasika that the Shramana Udayi in the Amra Garden was extremely skilled in teaching the Dharma. The Upasika replied, 'I also know that he is extremely skilled in teaching the Dharma. I have invited him repeatedly, prepared food, and asked him about the Dharma, but he always says it is not the time and then leaves.' The disciples said to the Upasika, 'You wear fine leather shoes, cover your head with a cloth, and sit disrespectfully. How could he teach you? The Venerable Udayi respects the Dharma, and that is why he leaves without teaching.' The Upasika replied, 'If that is so, then invite him again for me.' The disciples accepted her instruction and invited him again for offerings as before. At this time, the Upasika, knowing that Udayi had finished eating, took off her shoes, tidied her clothes, and sat on a low bed, respectfully saying, 'I wish to ask you something. Do you have the leisure to answer or not?' Udayi replied, 'You may ask now, and I will explain it to you.' She then asked, 'Some Shramanas and Brahmins say that suffering and happiness are self-made, some say that suffering and happiness are made by others, some say that suffering and happiness are made by both self and others, and some say that suffering and happiness are made by neither self nor others. Venerable one, what do you say?' The Venerable Udayi replied, 'Sister, the Arhat says that suffering and happiness arise from conditions, not as they say.' The Brahmin woman asked again, 'What does that mean?' Udayi replied, 'The Arhat says: 'From various conditions, various sufferings and happiness arise.'


。』」

優陀夷復語婆羅門尼言:「我今問汝,隨意答我。于意云何?有眼不?」

答言:「有。」

「有色不?」

答言:「有。」

「有眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂不?」

答言:「如是,尊者優陀夷!」

優陀夷復問:「有耳、鼻、舌、身、意、意觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂不?」

答言:「如是,尊者優陀夷!」

優陀夷言:「此是阿羅訶說:『從其因緣,生於苦樂。』」

婆羅門尼言:「尊者優陀夷!如是阿羅訶說從其因緣生苦樂耶?」

優陀夷答言:「如是,婆羅門尼!」

婆羅門尼復問:「沙門!云何阿羅訶說因緣生苦、樂、不苦不樂滅?」

優陀夷答言:「我今問汝,隨意答我。婆羅門尼!一切眼、一切時滅無餘,猶有眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂耶?」

答言:「無也,沙門!」

「如是,耳、鼻、舌、身、意,一切時滅永盡無餘,猶有意觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂耶?」

答言:「無也,沙門。」

「如是,婆羅門尼!是為阿羅訶說:『因緣生苦、樂、不苦不樂滅。』」

尊者優陀夷說是法時,毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。爾時,毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼見法、得法、知法、入法,度疑惑,不由於他入佛教法,於法得無所畏。從坐起,整衣服,恭敬合掌,白尊者優陀夷:「我今日超入決定,我從今日歸依佛、歸依法、歸依僧,我從今日盡壽歸依三寶

現代漢語譯本 優陀夷又對婆羅門尼說:『我現在問你,請隨意回答我。你認為如何?有眼睛嗎?』 她回答說:『有。』 『有顏色嗎?』 她回答說:『有。』 『有眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感覺是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂嗎?』 她回答說:『是的,尊者優陀夷!』 優陀夷又問:『有耳、鼻、舌、身、意、意觸因緣所生的感受,內在感覺是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂嗎?』 她回答說:『是的,尊者優陀夷!』 優陀夷說:『這是阿羅訶所說的:』從因緣產生苦樂。』 婆羅門尼說:『尊者優陀夷!阿羅訶是這樣說從因緣產生苦樂的嗎?』 優陀夷回答說:『是的,婆羅門尼!』 婆羅門尼又問:『沙門!阿羅訶是如何說因緣所生的苦、樂、不苦不樂滅的呢?』 優陀夷回答說:『我現在問你,請隨意回答我。婆羅門尼!一切眼睛、一切時都滅盡無餘,還有眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感覺是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂嗎?』 她回答說:『沒有了,沙門!』 『同樣,耳、鼻、舌、身、意,一切時都滅盡永無餘,還有意觸因緣所生的感受,內在感覺是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂嗎?』 她回答說:『沒有了,沙門。』 『是的,婆羅門尼!這就是阿羅訶所說的:』因緣所生的苦、樂、不苦不樂滅。』 尊者優陀夷說此法時,毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼遠離塵垢,得到法眼清凈。那時,毗紐迦旃延氏婆羅門尼見到法、得到法、知道法、進入法,度過疑惑,不依賴他人而進入佛教的教法,對法得到無所畏懼。她從座位起身,整理衣服,恭敬合掌,對尊者優陀夷說:『我今天超入決定,我從今天起皈依佛、皈依法、皈依僧,我從今天起盡此一生皈依三寶。』

English version Then Udayi said to the Brahmin woman, 'Now I ask you, answer as you please. What do you think? Is there an eye?' She replied, 'There is.' 'Is there color?' She replied, 'There is.' 'Is there eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and feeling born of eye-contact, internally felt as either pain, pleasure, or neither pain nor pleasure?' She replied, 'Yes, Venerable Udayi!' Udayi further asked, 'Is there ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, and feeling born of mind-contact, internally felt as either pain, pleasure, or neither pain nor pleasure?' She replied, 'Yes, Venerable Udayi!' Udayi said, 'This is what the Arhat said: 'From conditions, pain and pleasure arise.' The Brahmin woman said, 'Venerable Udayi! Is that how the Arhat said that pain and pleasure arise from conditions?' Udayi replied, 'Yes, Brahmin woman!' The Brahmin woman further asked, 'Shramana! How does the Arhat say that the pain, pleasure, and neither pain nor pleasure born of conditions cease?' Udayi replied, 'Now I ask you, answer as you please. Brahmin woman! When all eyes, at all times, are extinguished without remainder, is there still feeling born of eye-contact, internally felt as either pain, pleasure, or neither pain nor pleasure?' She replied, 'No, Shramana!' 'Likewise, when ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, at all times, are extinguished and completely gone, is there still feeling born of mind-contact, internally felt as either pain, pleasure, or neither pain nor pleasure?' She replied, 'No, Shramana.' 'Thus, Brahmin woman! This is what the Arhat said: 'The pain, pleasure, and neither pain nor pleasure born of conditions cease.' When Venerable Udayi spoke this Dharma, the Brahmin woman of the Vinyukacayana clan was cleansed of dust and defilement, and attained the purity of the Dharma eye. At that time, the Brahmin woman of the Vinyukacayana clan saw the Dharma, attained the Dharma, knew the Dharma, entered the Dharma, crossed over doubt, and entered the Buddhist teachings without relying on others, and gained fearlessness in the Dharma. She rose from her seat, adjusted her robe, respectfully joined her palms, and said to Venerable Udayi, 'Today I have entered into certainty, from today I take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, take refuge in the Sangha, and from today for the rest of my life I take refuge in the Three Jewels.'


。」

爾時,優陀夷為婆羅門尼說法,示、教、照、喜已,從坐起去。

(二五四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,尊者二十億耳住耆阇崛山,常精勤修習菩提分法。

時,尊者二十億耳獨靜禪思,而作是念:「於世尊弟子精勤聲聞中,我在其數,然我今日未盡諸漏,我是名族姓子,多饒財寶,我今寧可還受五欲,廣行施作福。」

爾時,世尊知二十億耳心之所念,告一比丘,汝等今往二十億耳所,告言:「世尊呼汝。」

是一比丘受佛教已,往詣二十億耳所,語言:「世尊呼汝。」

二十億耳聞彼比丘稱大師命,即詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退住一面。

爾時,世尊告二十億耳,汝實獨靜禪思作是念:「世尊精勤修學聲聞中,我在其數,而今未得漏盡解脫。我是名族姓子,又多錢財,我寧可還俗,受五欲樂,廣施作福耶?」

時,二十億耳作是念:「世尊已知我心。」驚怖毛豎,白佛言:「實爾。世尊!」

佛告二十億耳:「我今問汝,隨意答我

現代漢語譯本: 當時,優陀夷為婆羅門女子說法,開示、教導、啓發、使她歡喜后,就從座位起身離開了。

(二五四)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

當時,尊者二十億耳住在耆阇崛山,經常精勤地修習菩提分法。

當時,尊者二十億耳獨自靜坐禪思,心中這樣想:『在世尊的弟子中,精勤修習聲聞法的,我算其中之一,然而我今天還沒有斷盡所有的煩惱,我又是名門望族之子,擁有很多財富,我不如還是還俗,享受五欲之樂,廣泛地行善佈施。』

當時,世尊知道二十億耳心中所想,就告訴一位比丘,『你們現在去二十億耳那裡,告訴他:『世尊叫你。』

那位比丘接受佛的教誨后,就前往二十億耳那裡,說道:『世尊叫你。』

二十億耳聽到那位比丘傳達大師的命令,就立刻前往世尊那裡,頂禮佛足,然後退到一旁站立。

當時,世尊告訴二十億耳,『你確實獨自靜坐禪思,心中這樣想:『在世尊精勤修習聲聞法的弟子中,我算其中之一,而現在還沒有得到煩惱斷盡的解脫。我是名門望族之子,又有很多錢財,我不如還是還俗,享受五欲之樂,廣泛地行善佈施嗎?』

當時,二十億耳心想:『世尊已經知道我的想法了。』感到驚恐,汗毛豎立,對佛說:『確實如此,世尊!』

佛陀告訴二十億耳:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我』

English version: At that time, Udayin, having expounded the Dharma to the Brahmin woman, having shown, taught, illuminated, and gladdened her, rose from his seat and departed.

(254)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.

At that time, the venerable Twenty Billion Ears was dwelling on Mount Gijjhakuta, constantly and diligently practicing the factors of enlightenment.

Then, the venerable Twenty Billion Ears, while alone in quiet meditation, thought to himself: 'Among the disciples of the Blessed One who diligently practice the path of the Hearers, I am one of them, yet today I have not exhausted all defilements. I am a son of a noble family, with much wealth. I might as well return to lay life, enjoy the five sensual pleasures, and widely perform meritorious deeds.'

Then, the Blessed One, knowing the thought in Twenty Billion Ears' mind, said to a certain monk, 'Go now to Twenty Billion Ears and tell him, 'The Blessed One calls for you.'

That monk, having received the Buddha's instruction, went to Twenty Billion Ears and said, 'The Blessed One calls for you.'

Twenty Billion Ears, hearing that monk convey the Master's command, immediately went to the Blessed One, bowed down at his feet, and stood to one side.

Then, the Blessed One said to Twenty Billion Ears, 'Did you, while alone in quiet meditation, think to yourself: 'Among the disciples of the Blessed One who diligently practice the path of the Hearers, I am one of them, yet now I have not attained the liberation of the exhaustion of defilements. I am a son of a noble family, and I have much wealth. Might I not return to lay life, enjoy the five sensual pleasures, and widely perform meritorious deeds?''

Then, Twenty Billion Ears thought, 'The Blessed One knows my thoughts.' He was startled and his hair stood on end, and he said to the Buddha, 'Indeed, Blessed One!'

The Buddha said to Twenty Billion Ears, 'I will now ask you, answer me as you wish.'


。二十億耳,汝在俗時,善彈琴不?」

答言:「如是,世尊!」

復問:「于意云何?汝彈琴時,若急其弦,得作微妙和雅音不?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

復問:「云何?若緩其弦,寧發微妙和雅音不?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

復問:「云何善調琴絃,不緩不急,然後發妙和雅音不?」

答言:「如是,世尊!」

佛告二十億耳:「精進太急,增其掉悔,精進太緩,令人懈怠,是故汝當平等修習攝受,莫著、莫放逸、莫取相。」

時,尊者二十億耳聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

時,尊者二十億耳常念世尊說彈琴譬,獨靜禪思。如上所說,乃至漏盡心得解脫,成阿羅漢。

爾時,尊者二十億耳得阿羅漢,內覺解脫喜樂,作是念:「我今應往問訊世尊。」

爾時,尊者二十億耳往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!於世尊法中得阿羅漢,盡諸有漏,所作已作,舍離重擔,逮得己利,盡諸有結,正智心解脫,當於爾時解脫六處。云何為六?離欲解脫、離恚解脫、遠離解脫、愛盡解脫、諸取解脫、心不忘念解脫。

「世尊!若有依少信心而言離欲解脫,此非所應;貪、恚、癡盡,是名真實離欲解脫。

「若復有人依少持戒而言我得離恚解脫,此亦不應;貪、恚、癡盡,是名真實離恚解脫。

「若復有人依于修習利養遠離而言遠離解脫,是亦不應;貪、恚、癡盡,是真實遠離解脫。

「貪、恚、癡盡,亦名離愛,亦名離取,亦名離忘念解脫

『二十億耳,你俗家的時候,擅長彈琴嗎?』 回答說:『是的,世尊!』 又問:『你覺得怎麼樣?你彈琴的時候,如果把弦繃得太緊,能彈出美妙和諧的樂音嗎?』 回答說:『不能,世尊!』 又問:『怎麼樣?如果把弦放鬆,能發出美妙和諧的樂音嗎?』 回答說:『不能,世尊!』 又問:『怎麼樣才能把琴絃調好,不鬆不緊,然後發出美妙和諧的樂音呢?』 回答說:『是的,世尊!』 佛告訴二十億耳:『精進太過急切,會增加躁動和後悔;精進太過緩慢,會使人懈怠。所以你應該平等地修習,攝受身心,不要執著,不要放縱,不要執取表象。』 當時,尊者二十億耳聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 當時,尊者二十億耳常常思念世尊所說的彈琴譬喻,獨自靜坐禪思。如上面所說,乃至漏盡,內心得到解脫,成為阿羅漢。 那時,尊者二十億耳證得阿羅漢果,內心感受到解脫的喜悅,心想:『我現在應該去問候世尊。』 當時,尊者二十億耳前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐一旁,對佛說:『世尊!在世尊的教法中證得阿羅漢果,斷盡了一切煩惱,所作已辦,捨棄了重擔,獲得了自身的利益,斷盡了一切束縛,以正智獲得心解脫,那時解脫了六處。哪六處呢?離欲解脫、離嗔解脫、遠離解脫、愛盡解脫、諸取解脫、心不忘念解脫。』 『世尊!如果有人依仗少許信心就說自己得到離欲解脫,這是不應該的;貪、嗔、癡都斷盡了,才叫做真正的離欲解脫。』 『如果有人依仗少許持戒就說自己得到離嗔解脫,這也是不應該的;貪、嗔、癡都斷盡了,才叫做真正的離嗔解脫。』 『如果有人依仗修習利養遠離就說自己得到遠離解脫,這也是不應該的;貪、嗔、癡都斷盡了,才是真正的遠離解脫。』 『貪、嗔、癡都斷盡了,也叫做離愛,也叫做離取,也叫做離忘念解脫。』

'Twenty Billion Ears, when you were a layman, were you good at playing the lute?' He replied, 'Yes, Venerable One!' He asked again, 'What do you think? When you play the lute, if you tighten the strings too much, can you produce a subtle and harmonious sound?' He replied, 'No, Venerable One!' He asked again, 'What about if you loosen the strings, can you produce a subtle and harmonious sound?' He replied, 'No, Venerable One!' He asked again, 'How can you tune the lute strings well, neither too tight nor too loose, and then produce a subtle and harmonious sound?' He replied, 'Yes, Venerable One!' The Buddha told Twenty Billion Ears, 'Too much diligence increases restlessness and regret; too little diligence makes one lazy. Therefore, you should practice equanimity, gather your mind, do not cling, do not indulge, and do not grasp at appearances.' At that time, Venerable Twenty Billion Ears, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed along, bowed, and departed. At that time, Venerable Twenty Billion Ears often contemplated the Buddha's analogy of the lute, and meditated alone in stillness. As mentioned above, he eventually exhausted his outflows, his mind attained liberation, and he became an Arhat. Then, Venerable Twenty Billion Ears, having attained Arhatship, felt the joy of inner liberation, and thought, 'Now I should go and pay respects to the Venerable One.' At that time, Venerable Twenty Billion Ears went to where the Buddha was, bowed at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable One! Having attained Arhatship in the Venerable One's teachings, having exhausted all outflows, having done what needed to be done, having laid down the burden, having attained one's own benefit, having exhausted all fetters, with right knowledge, the mind is liberated, and at that time, one is liberated from the six places. What are the six? Liberation from desire, liberation from anger, liberation from separation, liberation from the end of love, liberation from all grasping, and liberation from a mind that does not forget.' 'Venerable One! If someone relies on a little faith and says they have attained liberation from desire, this is not appropriate; only when greed, anger, and delusion are exhausted is it called true liberation from desire.' 'If someone relies on a little adherence to precepts and says they have attained liberation from anger, this is also not appropriate; only when greed, anger, and delusion are exhausted is it called true liberation from anger.' 'If someone relies on practicing detachment from gain and says they have attained liberation from separation, this is also not appropriate; only when greed, anger, and delusion are exhausted is it true liberation from separation.' 'When greed, anger, and delusion are exhausted, it is also called liberation from love, also called liberation from grasping, and also called liberation from a mind that does not forget.'


。如是,世尊!若諸比丘未得羅漢,未盡諸漏,於此六處不得解脫。

「若複比丘在於學地,未得增上樂,涅槃習向心住,爾時成就學戒,成就學根,后時當得漏盡、無漏心解脫,乃至自知不受後有。當於爾時得無學戒,得無學諸根。譬如嬰童愚小仰臥,爾時成就童子諸根,彼於後時漸漸增長,諸根成就,當於爾時成就長者諸根。在學地者亦復如是,未得增上安樂,乃至成就無學戒、無學諸根。

「若眼常識色,終不能妨心解脫、慧解脫,意堅住故,內修無量善解脫,觀察生滅,乃至無常。耳識聲、鼻識香、舌識味、身識觸、意識法,不能妨心解脫、慧解脫,意堅住故,內修無量善解脫,觀察生滅。譬如村邑近大石山,不斷、不壞、不穿,一向厚密,假使四方風吹,不能動搖、不能穿過。彼無學者亦復如是,眼常識色,乃至意常識法,不能妨心解脫、慧解脫,意堅住故,內修無量善解脫,觀察生滅。」

爾時,二十億耳重說偈言:

「離欲心解脫,  無恚脫亦然,  遠離心解脫,  貪愛永無餘。  諸取心解脫,  及意不忘念,  曉了入處生,  于彼心解脫。  彼心解脫者,  比丘意止息,  諸所作已作,  更不作所作。  猶如大石山,  四風不能動。  色聲香味觸,  及法之好惡,  六入處常對,  不能動其心。  心常住堅固,  諦觀法生滅。」

尊者二十億耳說是法時,大師心悅,諸多聞梵行者聞尊者二十億耳所說,皆大歡喜。爾時,尊者二十億耳聞佛說法,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去

現代漢語譯本:是的,世尊!如果那些比丘沒有證得阿羅漢果位,沒有斷盡一切煩惱,那麼他們在這六個感官領域就無法獲得解脫。 如果比丘還處於學習階段,沒有獲得更高的快樂,內心傾向於涅槃,此時他成就了學戒,成就了學根。之後,他將斷盡煩惱,獲得無漏的心解脫,乃至自己知道不再有來世。那時,他將獲得無學戒,獲得無學諸根。就像一個仰臥的嬰兒,那時他具備嬰兒的感官能力,之後他逐漸長大,感官能力成熟,那時他將具備成年人的感官能力。處於學習階段的比丘也是如此,在沒有獲得更高的安樂之前,乃至成就無學戒、無學諸根。 如果眼睛經常識別顏色,最終不會妨礙心的解脫和智慧的解脫,因為他的意志堅定,內心修習無量的善解脫,觀察生滅,乃至無常。耳朵識別聲音、鼻子識別氣味、舌頭識別味道、身體識別觸感、意識識別事物,也不會妨礙心的解脫和智慧的解脫,因為他的意志堅定,內心修習無量的善解脫,觀察生滅。就像村莊附近有一座巨大的石山,它堅固、不壞、'密實',非常厚重,即使四面八方的風吹來,也不能動搖它,也不能穿透它。那些無學之人也是如此,眼睛經常識別顏色,乃至意識經常識別事物,都不能妨礙心的解脫和智慧的解脫,因為他們的意志堅定,內心修習無量的善解脫,觀察生滅。 那時,二十億耳尊者重說偈頌: 『離欲的心解脫,無嗔的心解脫也是如此,遠離的心解脫,貪愛永遠沒有剩餘。各種執取的心解脫,以及意念不忘失,明瞭六根的生起,在這些方面心都解脫了。那些心解脫的人,比丘的意念止息,所有該做的都已做完,不再需要做任何事。就像巨大的石山,'風'不能動搖它。顏色、聲音、氣味、味道、觸感,以及事物的好壞,六根經常接觸,都不能動搖他的心。他的心常住堅固,如實觀察法的生滅。』 當尊者二十億耳說這些法時,佛陀內心喜悅,許多聽聞佛法的修行者聽到尊者二十億耳所說,都非常歡喜。那時,尊者二十億耳聽到佛陀說法,歡喜隨喜,頂禮而去。

English version: Yes, Venerable Sir! If those monks have not attained Arhatship, have not exhausted all defilements, then they cannot attain liberation in these six sense fields. If a monk is still in the stage of learning, has not attained higher joy, and his mind is inclined towards Nirvana, at this time he has accomplished the precepts of learning, and has accomplished the roots of learning. Later, he will exhaust defilements, attain the undefiled liberation of mind, and even know for himself that there will be no future existence. At that time, he will attain the precepts of no-more-learning, and attain the roots of no-more-learning. Just like an infant lying on its back, at that time it possesses the sensory abilities of an infant, and later it gradually grows up, its sensory abilities mature, and at that time it will possess the sensory abilities of an adult. A monk in the stage of learning is also like this, before attaining higher joy, until he accomplishes the precepts of no-more-learning and the roots of no-more-learning. If the eye constantly recognizes colors, it will ultimately not hinder the liberation of mind and the liberation of wisdom, because his will is firm, he cultivates immeasurable good liberation internally, observes arising and ceasing, and even impermanence. The ear recognizing sounds, the nose recognizing smells, the tongue recognizing tastes, the body recognizing touch, and the mind recognizing things, will also not hinder the liberation of mind and the liberation of wisdom, because his will is firm, he cultivates immeasurable good liberation internally, and observes arising and ceasing. Just like there is a huge stone mountain near a village, it is solid, not broken, 'dense', and very thick, even if the wind blows from all directions, it cannot shake it, and cannot penetrate it. Those who have no-more-learning are also like this, the eye constantly recognizes colors, and even the mind constantly recognizes things, cannot hinder the liberation of mind and the liberation of wisdom, because their will is firm, they cultivate immeasurable good liberation internally, and observe arising and ceasing. At that time, Venerable Twenty Billion Ears repeated the verses: 'The liberation of mind from desire, the liberation of mind from anger is also like this, the liberation of mind from separation, greed will never remain. The liberation of mind from all attachments, and the mind not forgetting mindfulness, understanding the arising of the six roots, in these aspects the mind is liberated. Those whose minds are liberated, the monk's mind is at rest, all that should be done has been done, and there is no need to do anything more. Just like a huge stone mountain, the 'wind' cannot shake it. Colors, sounds, smells, tastes, touch, and the good and bad of things, the six roots are constantly in contact, but they cannot shake his mind. His mind is always firm, and truly observes the arising and ceasing of phenomena.' When Venerable Twenty Billion Ears spoke these teachings, the Buddha was pleased, and many practitioners who had heard the Buddha's teachings were very happy to hear what Venerable Twenty Billion Ears had said. At that time, Venerable Twenty Billion Ears heard the Buddha's teachings, rejoiced and followed along, and bowed and departed.


爾時,世尊知二十億耳去不久,告諸比丘:「善心解脫者,應如是記說,如二十億耳以智記說,亦不自舉,亦不下他,正說其義;非如增上慢者,不得其義,而自稱歎得過人法,自取損減。」

(二五五)

如是我聞:

一時,尊者摩訶迦旃延住阿磐提國濕摩陀江側,獼猴室阿練若窟。有魯醯遮婆羅門,恭敬承事,如羅漢法。

爾時,尊者摩訶迦旃延晨朝著衣持缽,入獼猴室聚落,次行乞食,乞食還,舉衣缽,洗足已,入室坐禪。

時,魯醯遮婆羅門有諸年少弟子,遊行採薪,至尊者摩訶迦旃延窟邊,共戲笑言:「此中剃髮沙門住,是黑闇人,非世勝人,而魯醯遮婆羅門尊重供養,如羅漢法。」

時,尊者摩訶迦旃延語諸年少言:「年少!年少!莫作聲。」

諸年少言終,不敢復言。如是再三,語猶不止。

於是尊者摩訶迦旃延出戶外,語諸年少言:「年少!年少!汝等莫語。我今當爲汝等說法,汝等且聽。」

諸年少言:「諾,唯愿說法,我當聽受。」

爾時,尊者摩訶迦旃延即說偈言:

「古昔婆羅門,  修習勝妙戒,  得生宿命智,  娛樂真諦禪,  常住于慈悲,  關閉諸根門,  調伏于口過,  古昔行如是。  捨本真實行,  而存虛偽事,  守族姓放逸,  從諸根六境,  自餓居冢間,  三浴誦三典,  不守護根門,  猶如夢得寶。  編髮衣皮褐,  戒盜灰坌身,  粗衣以蔽形,  執杖持水瓶,  假形婆羅門,  以求于利養

現代漢語譯本: 那時,世尊知道二十億耳離開不久,就告訴眾比丘:『善於心解脫的人,應當像這樣記述,如同二十億耳以智慧記述一樣,既不自我抬高,也不貶低他人,只是如實地說出其義理;不要像那些增上慢的人,沒有領悟其義理,卻自我稱讚獲得了超越常人的境界,這樣反而會自我損減。』

(二五五)

如是我聞:

一時,尊者摩訶迦旃延住在阿槃提國濕摩陀江邊,獼猴室阿練若窟。有一位名叫魯醯遮的婆羅門,恭敬地侍奉他,如同對待羅漢一樣。

當時,尊者摩訶迦旃延早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入獼猴室村落,依次乞食。乞食完畢返回后,收好衣缽,洗完腳,就進入禪房坐禪。

這時,魯醯遮婆羅門有一些年輕的弟子,他們去採柴,來到尊者摩訶迦旃延的禪房邊,一起嬉笑說:『這個剃了頭髮的沙門住在這裡,是個愚昧無知的人,不是世間的賢者,而魯醯遮婆羅門卻像對待羅漢一樣尊重供養他。』

當時,尊者摩訶迦旃延對那些年輕人說:『年輕人!年輕人!不要吵鬧。』

那些年輕人停止了說話,不敢再出聲。這樣說了兩次三次,他們仍然不止住吵鬧。

於是,尊者摩訶迦旃延走出禪房,對那些年輕人說:『年輕人!年輕人!你們不要吵鬧。我現在要為你們說法,你們且聽。』

那些年輕人說:『好的,我們願意聽您說法,我們一定會聽受。』

當時,尊者摩訶迦旃延就說了偈語:

『古時候的婆羅門, 修習殊勝的戒律, 獲得宿命通的智慧, 安樂於真諦的禪定, 常住于慈悲之心, 關閉諸根的門戶, 調伏口舌的過失, 古時候是這樣修行的。 捨棄了本來的真實修行, 卻保留了虛偽的表面功夫, 執著于種姓的放縱, 追逐六根所對的六塵境界, 自我禁食住在墳墓間, 一天三次沐浴誦讀三吠陀, 不守護根門, 就像在夢中得到寶藏一樣。 編著頭髮穿著獸皮衣, 持守盜戒身上涂灰, 穿著粗布遮蔽身體, 拿著手杖拿著水瓶, 假裝成婆羅門的樣子, 以此來求取利養。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One, knowing that Twenty Billion Ears had not been gone long, told the monks: 'Those who are liberated by a good heart should record it as such, just as Twenty Billion Ears recorded it with wisdom, neither exalting themselves nor belittling others, but speaking truthfully about the meaning; not like those who are arrogant, who do not understand the meaning, yet praise themselves for having attained extraordinary states, thus diminishing themselves.'

(255)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Venerable Mahākātyāyana was dwelling by the side of the Śmaśāna River in the Avanti country, in the Monkey Chamber Aranya cave. There was a Brahmin named Rohiṭa, who respectfully served him as if he were an Arhat.

At that time, the Venerable Mahākātyāyana, in the morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered the Monkey Chamber village, went from house to house for alms, and having returned from alms, put away his robes and bowl, washed his feet, and entered his chamber to sit in meditation.

At that time, Rohiṭa Brahmin had some young disciples who were gathering firewood. They came to the cave of the Venerable Mahākātyāyana and, laughing and joking, said: 'This shaven-headed Śramaṇa lives here, he is a dark person, not a superior person in the world, yet Rohiṭa Brahmin respects and serves him as if he were an Arhat.'

At that time, the Venerable Mahākātyāyana said to the young men: 'Young men! Young men! Do not make noise.'

The young men stopped speaking and dared not say anything more. He said this two or three times, but they still did not stop making noise.

Then the Venerable Mahākātyāyana went out of his chamber and said to the young men: 'Young men! Young men! Do not make noise. I will now teach you the Dharma, so listen.'

The young men said: 'Yes, we wish to hear the Dharma, we will listen and receive it.'

At that time, the Venerable Mahākātyāyana spoke these verses:

'In ancient times, Brahmins, practiced superior precepts, Attained the wisdom of past lives, Enjoyed the meditation of true meaning, Always dwelt in compassion, Closed the doors of the senses, Subdued the faults of speech, In ancient times, they practiced thus. Having abandoned the true practice, They retain only false appearances, Clinging to the indulgence of lineage, Following the six objects of the six senses, Self-mortifying in the graveyard, Thrice bathing and reciting the three Vedas, Not guarding the doors of the senses, Like finding treasure in a dream. Braiding their hair and wearing animal skins, Observing the precept against stealing and smearing themselves with ashes, Covering their bodies with coarse cloth, Holding a staff and a water pot, Pretending to be Brahmins, Seeking profit and gain.'


。  善攝護其身,  澄凈離塵垢,  不惱于眾生,  是道婆羅門。」

爾時,諸年少婆羅門瞋恚不喜,語尊者摩訶迦旃延:「謗我經典,毀壞所說,罵辱婆羅門。」執持薪束,還魯醯遮婆羅門所,語魯醯遮婆羅門言:「和上知不?彼摩訶迦旃延誹謗經典,毀呰言說,罵辱婆羅門。」

魯醯遮婆羅門語諸年少:「諸年少!莫作是語。所以者何?摩訶迦旃延宿重戒德,不應謗毀經典,毀呰言說,罵婆羅門。」

諸年少言:「和上不信我言,當自往看。」

時,魯醯遮婆羅門不信諸年少語,往詣摩訶迦旃延,共相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面。語摩訶迦旃延言:「我諸年少弟子來到此不?」

答言:「到此。」

「少多與共言語不?」

答云:「與共言語。」

魯醯遮婆羅門言:「汝與諸年少共語,今可為我盡說是。」

摩訶迦旃延即為廣說。時,魯醯遮婆羅門亦復瞋恚,心得不喜,語摩訶迦旃延:「我先不信諸年少語,今摩訶迦旃延真實誹謗經典,毀呰而說,罵辱婆羅門。」作此語已,小默然住。須臾,復語摩訶迦旃延:「仁者所說『門』。何等為『門』?」

摩訶迦旃延言:「善哉!善哉!婆羅門!所問如法,我今當爲汝說『門』。婆羅門!眼是門,以見色故。耳、鼻、舌、身、意是門,以識法故。」

婆羅門言:「奇哉!摩訶迦旃延!我問其門,即說其門,如摩訶迦旃延所說不守護門。云何不守護門?」

摩訶迦旃延言:「善哉!善哉!婆羅門!問不守護門,是如法問,今當爲汝說不守護門

現代漢語譯本 『善於保護自身,清凈無垢,不惱害眾生,這就是婆羅門之道。』 當時,那些年輕的婆羅門生氣不高興,對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『你誹謗我們的經典,詆譭我們所說的,辱罵婆羅門。』他們拿著柴火,回到魯醯遮婆羅門那裡,對魯醯遮婆羅門說:『和尚您知道嗎?那個摩訶迦旃延誹謗經典,詆譭言論,辱罵婆羅門。』 魯醯遮婆羅門對那些年輕人說:『你們這些年輕人!不要這樣說。為什麼呢?摩訶迦旃延宿世持戒有德,不應該誹謗經典,詆譭言論,辱罵婆羅門。』 那些年輕人說:『和尚您不相信我們的話,應當自己去看。』 當時,魯醯遮婆羅門不相信那些年輕人的話,前往摩訶迦旃延那裡,互相問候慰問之後,退坐在一旁。他對摩訶迦旃延說:『我的那些年輕弟子來過這裡嗎?』 回答說:『來過這裡。』 『他們和你說了些什麼嗎?』 回答說:『和他們說了話。』 魯醯遮婆羅門說:『你和那些年輕人說了話,現在可以為我全部說出來。』 摩訶迦旃延就為他詳細地說了。當時,魯醯遮婆羅門也生氣了,心裡不高興,對摩訶迦旃延說:『我先前不相信那些年輕人的話,現在摩訶迦旃延你確實誹謗經典,詆譭言論,辱罵婆羅門。』說完這話,他稍微沉默了一會兒。過了一會兒,又對摩訶迦旃延說:『仁者所說的「門」,什麼是「門」?』 摩訶迦旃延說:『好啊!好啊!婆羅門!你問的問題如法,我現在就為你解說「門」。婆羅門!眼睛是門,因為能看見顏色。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識是門,因為能識別事物。』 婆羅門說:『奇妙啊!摩訶迦旃延!我問的是門,你立刻就說出了門,就像摩訶迦旃延所說的不守護門。什麼是不守護門呢?』 摩訶迦旃延說:『好啊!好啊!婆羅門!你問不守護門,這個問題問得如法,我現在就為你解說不守護門。』

English version 'To skillfully protect oneself, to be pure and free from defilement, and not to harm living beings, this is the way of a Brahmin.' At that time, the young Brahmins were angry and displeased, and said to the venerable Mahakatyayana, 'You slander our scriptures, disparage what we say, and insult Brahmins.' They took bundles of firewood and returned to Rohicya Brahmin, saying to Rohicya Brahmin, 'Master, do you know? That Mahakatyayana slanders the scriptures, disparages our words, and insults Brahmins.' Rohicya Brahmin said to the young men, 'Young men! Do not speak like this. Why? Mahakatyayana has accumulated great virtue through his past practice of precepts, he should not slander the scriptures, disparage our words, or insult Brahmins.' The young men said, 'Master, if you do not believe our words, you should go and see for yourself.' At that time, Rohicya Brahmin did not believe the words of the young men, and went to Mahakatyayana. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, he sat down to one side. He said to Mahakatyayana, 'Have my young disciples come here?' He replied, 'They have come here.' 'Did they speak with you much?' He replied, 'I spoke with them.' Rohicya Brahmin said, 'You spoke with the young men, now you can tell me everything you said.' Mahakatyayana then explained it to him in detail. At that time, Rohicya Brahmin also became angry and displeased, and said to Mahakatyayana, 'I did not believe the words of the young men before, but now Mahakatyayana, you truly slander the scriptures, disparage our words, and insult Brahmins.' After saying this, he remained silent for a short while. After a moment, he said to Mahakatyayana again, 'What is the 「gate」 that you speak of? What is a 「gate」?' Mahakatyayana said, 'Excellent! Excellent! Brahmin! Your question is in accordance with the Dharma, and now I will explain the 「gate」 to you. Brahmin! The eye is a gate, because it sees forms. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are gates, because they recognize phenomena.' The Brahmin said, 'Wonderful! Mahakatyayana! I asked about the gate, and you immediately spoke of the gate, like the unguarded gate that Mahakatyayana speaks of. What is an unguarded gate?' Mahakatyayana said, 'Excellent! Excellent! Brahmin! Your question about the unguarded gate is a question in accordance with the Dharma, and now I will explain the unguarded gate to you.'


「婆羅門!愚癡無聞凡夫眼見色已,于可念色而起緣著,不可念色而起瞋恚。不住身念處,故於心解脫、慧解脫無如實知。于彼起種種惡不善法,不得無餘滅盡,於心解脫、慧解脫妨礙,不得滿足;心解脫、慧解脫不滿故,身滿惡行,不得休息,心不寂靜,以不寂靜故,于其根門則不調伏、不守護、不修習。如眼色,耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法,亦復如是。」

魯醯遮婆羅門言:「奇哉!奇哉!摩訶迦旃延,我問不守護門,即為我說不守護門。摩訶迦旃延!云何複名善守護門?」

摩訶迦旃延語婆羅門言:「善哉!善哉!汝能問我善守護門義。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說守護門義。

「多聞聖弟子眼見色已,于可念色不起緣著,不可念色不起瞋恚;常攝其心住身念處,無量心解脫、慧解脫如實知,于彼所起惡不善法寂滅無餘,於心解脫、慧解脫而得滿足;解脫滿足已,身觸惡行悉得休息,心得正念,是名初門善調伏守護修習。如眼及色,耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法,亦復如是。」

魯醯遮婆羅門言:「奇哉!摩訶迦旃延!我問守護問義,即為我說守護門義。譬如士夫求毒藥草反得甘露,今我如是,瞋恚而來至此座坐,而摩訶迦旃延以大法雨,雨我身中,如雨甘露。摩訶迦旃延!家中多事,今請還家。」

摩訶迦旃延言:「婆羅門!宜知是時。」

時,魯醯遮婆羅門聞摩訶迦旃延所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起去

現代漢語譯本 『婆羅門!愚癡無知的凡夫,眼睛看到顏色后,對於喜歡的顏色就產生貪戀,對於不喜歡的顏色就產生嗔恨。他們不專注于身體的念處,所以對於心的解脫和智慧的解脫沒有如實的瞭解。因此,他們會產生各種惡的不善的念頭,無法完全滅盡,從而妨礙了心的解脫和智慧的解脫,無法達到圓滿。由於心的解脫和智慧的解脫不圓滿,他們的身體就會充滿惡行,無法得到安息,內心也不得平靜。因為內心不平靜,他們對於自己的根門就不能調伏、守護和修習。就像眼睛和顏色一樣,耳朵和聲音、鼻子和氣味、舌頭和味道、身體和觸感、意識和法也是如此。』 魯醯遮婆羅門說:『真是奇妙啊!摩訶迦旃延,我問的是不守護根門,你卻為我說了不守護根門。摩訶迦旃延!那麼,什麼又叫做善於守護根門呢?』 摩訶迦旃延對婆羅門說:『好啊!好啊!你能問我善於守護根門的意義。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你講述守護根門的意義。』 『多聞的聖弟子,眼睛看到顏色后,對於喜歡的顏色不會產生貪戀,對於不喜歡的顏色也不會產生嗔恨;他們常常收攝自己的心,專注于身體的念處,對於無量的心解脫和智慧的解脫有如實的瞭解,他們所產生的惡不善的念頭都會寂滅無餘,從而使心的解脫和智慧的解脫得到圓滿。解脫圓滿后,身體的惡行就會停止,內心得到正念,這就是最初的善於調伏、守護和修習根門。就像眼睛和顏色一樣,耳朵和聲音、鼻子和氣味、舌頭和味道、身體和觸感、意識和法也是如此。』 魯醯遮婆羅門說:『真是奇妙啊!摩訶迦旃延!我問的是守護根門的意義,你卻為我說了守護根門的意義。就像一個人尋求毒藥草卻得到了甘露一樣,我現在就是這樣,帶著嗔恨來到這裡,而摩訶迦旃延卻用大法雨,滋潤我的身心,如同甘露一般。摩訶迦旃延!家中還有很多事情,現在請允許我回家。』 摩訶迦旃延說:『婆羅門!你應當知道現在是時候了。』 當時,魯醯遮婆羅門聽了摩訶迦旃延所說的話,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離開了。

English version 'Brahmin! An ignorant, unlearned ordinary person, upon seeing a form with the eye, becomes attached to agreeable forms and develops aversion towards disagreeable forms. Not dwelling in mindfulness of the body, they do not truly know the liberation of the mind and the liberation of wisdom. Because of this, various evil and unwholesome thoughts arise, which cannot be completely extinguished, thus hindering the liberation of the mind and the liberation of wisdom, preventing them from being fulfilled. Because the liberation of the mind and the liberation of wisdom are not fulfilled, their body is filled with evil actions, unable to find rest, and their mind is not peaceful. Because of this lack of peace, they do not subdue, guard, or cultivate their sense doors. Just as with the eye and forms, so it is with the ear and sounds, the nose and smells, the tongue and tastes, the body and touches, and the mind and mental objects.' The Brahmin Rohicca said, 'Wonderful! Wonderful! Mahā Kātyāyana, I asked about not guarding the sense doors, and you explained not guarding the sense doors. Mahā Kātyāyana! What then is called well-guarding the sense doors?' Mahā Kātyāyana said to the Brahmin, 'Good! Good! You are able to ask me about the meaning of well-guarding the sense doors. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain to you the meaning of guarding the sense doors.' 'A well-learned noble disciple, upon seeing a form with the eye, does not become attached to agreeable forms, nor does he develop aversion towards disagreeable forms; he constantly gathers his mind, dwells in mindfulness of the body, and truly knows the immeasurable liberation of the mind and the liberation of wisdom. The evil and unwholesome thoughts that arise are extinguished without remainder, thus fulfilling the liberation of the mind and the liberation of wisdom. Having fulfilled liberation, the evil actions of the body cease, and the mind attains right mindfulness. This is called the initial well-subduing, guarding, and cultivating of the sense doors. Just as with the eye and forms, so it is with the ear and sounds, the nose and smells, the tongue and tastes, the body and touches, and the mind and mental objects.' The Brahmin Rohicca said, 'Wonderful! Mahā Kātyāyana! I asked about the meaning of guarding the sense doors, and you explained the meaning of guarding the sense doors. It is as if a man seeking poisonous herbs found ambrosia instead. I am like that now, having come to this seat with aversion, and Mahā Kātyāyana has rained down the great Dharma upon me, like ambrosia. Mahā Kātyāyana! I have many affairs at home, so please allow me to return home now.' Mahā Kātyāyana said, 'Brahmin! You should know when it is the right time.' Then, the Brahmin Rohicca, having heard what Mahā Kātyāyana had said, rejoiced and was pleased, and rose from his seat and departed.

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,尊者舍利弗、尊者摩訶拘絺羅在耆阇崛山。

時,尊者拘絺羅晡時從禪起,詣尊者舍利弗所,共相問訊,種種相娛悅已,卻坐一面。

時,尊者摩訶拘絺羅語舍利弗言:「欲有所問,寧有閑暇為我說不?」

舍利弗言:「隨仁所問,知者當說。」

摩訶拘絺羅問舍利弗言:「所謂無明。云何是無明?誰有此無明?」

「何所不知?」

「謂色無常,色無常如實不知,色磨滅法,色磨滅法如實不知,色生滅法,色生滅法如實不知。受、想、行、識,受、想、行、識無常如實不知,識磨滅法,識磨滅法如實不知,識生滅法,識生滅法如實不知。摩訶拘絺羅!於此五受陰如實不知、不見、無無間等、愚、闇、不明,是名無明,成就此者,名有無明。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,尊者舍利弗和尊者摩訶拘絺羅在耆阇崛山。

那時,尊者拘絺羅在傍晚時分從禪定中起身,前往尊者舍利弗的住所,互相問候,愉快地交談了一會兒,然後坐在一旁。

當時,尊者摩訶拘絺羅對舍利弗說:『我想請教一些問題,您是否有空為我解答呢?』

舍利弗說:『請隨意發問,知道的我會如實回答。』

摩訶拘絺羅問舍利弗說:『所謂的無明,什麼是無明?誰有這種無明?』

舍利弗回答說:『無明就是不知,不知就是無明。』

『不知什麼呢?』

『就是不知色是無常的,對色無常的事實不瞭解;色是會磨滅的,對色會磨滅的事實不瞭解;色是生滅變化的,對色生滅變化的事實不瞭解。受、想、行、識,對受、想、行、識的無常不瞭解,對識會磨滅的事實不瞭解,對識生滅變化的事實不瞭解。摩訶拘絺羅!對於這五種受陰,如果不能如實知曉、不能如實看見、沒有無間斷的理解、愚昧、黑暗、不明瞭,這就叫做無明。成就這種無明的人,就叫做有無明。』

又問:『舍利弗!所謂的明,什麼是明?誰有這種明?』

舍利弗說:『摩訶拘絺羅!所謂的明就是知,知就是明。』

又問:『知什麼呢?』

『就是知色是無常的,如實知色是無常的;知色是會磨滅的,如實知色是會磨滅的;知色是生滅變化的,如實知色是生滅變化的。受、想、行、識,如實知受、想、行、識是無常的,如實知識是會磨滅的,如實知識是生滅變化的。

English version The Miscellaneous Āgama Sutra, Scroll 9 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 02, No. 0099, The Miscellaneous Āgama Sutra

The Miscellaneous Āgama Sutra, Scroll 10

Translated by Tripiṭaka Guṇabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

(256)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rājagṛha. At that time, Venerable Śāriputra and Venerable Mahākoṣṭhila were on Gṛdhrakūṭa Mountain.

Then, Venerable Koṣṭhila, in the late afternoon, arose from meditation and went to where Venerable Śāriputra was. They exchanged greetings and engaged in pleasant conversation, then sat down to one side.

At that time, Venerable Mahākoṣṭhila said to Śāriputra, 'I wish to ask you something. Do you have the time to explain it to me?'

Śāriputra said, 'Ask whatever you wish. I will speak if I know.'

Mahākoṣṭhila asked Śāriputra, 'What is meant by ignorance? What is ignorance? Who has this ignorance?'

Śāriputra replied, 'Ignorance means not knowing. Not knowing is ignorance.'

'What is it that is not known?'

'It is not knowing that form is impermanent, not truly knowing that form is impermanent; that form is subject to decay, not truly knowing that form is subject to decay; that form is subject to arising and ceasing, not truly knowing that form is subject to arising and ceasing. Feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness—not truly knowing that feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness are impermanent; not truly knowing that consciousness is subject to decay; not truly knowing that consciousness is subject to arising and ceasing. Mahākoṣṭhila! Regarding these five aggregates of clinging, not truly knowing, not truly seeing, without uninterrupted understanding, being foolish, dark, and unclear—this is called ignorance. One who has achieved this is said to have ignorance.'

He further asked, 'Śāriputra! What is meant by knowledge? What is knowledge? Who has this knowledge?'

Śāriputra said, 'Mahākoṣṭhila! What is meant by knowledge is knowing. Knowing is called knowledge.'

He further asked, 'What is it that is known?'

'It is knowing that form is impermanent, truly knowing that form is impermanent; knowing that form is subject to decay, truly knowing that form is subject to decay; knowing that form is subject to arising and ceasing, truly knowing that form is subject to arising and ceasing. Feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness—truly knowing that feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness are impermanent; truly knowing that consciousness is subject to decay; truly knowing that consciousness is subject to arising and ceasing.'


。拘絺羅!於此五受陰如實知、見、明、覺、慧、無間等,是名為明;成就此法者,是名有明。」

是二正士各聞所說,展轉隨喜,從坐而起,各還本處。

(二五七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。時,尊者舍利弗、尊者摩訶拘絺羅在耆阇崛山。

時,摩訶拘絺羅晡時從禪起,詣尊者舍利弗所,共相問訊,種種相娛悅已,卻坐一面。

時,尊者摩訶拘絺羅語舍利弗言:「欲有所問,寧有少暇為我說不?」

舍利弗言:「仁者且問,知者當說。」

摩訶拘絺羅問舍利弗言:「所謂無明,復云何為無明?誰有此無明?」

舍利弗答言:「無明者謂不知,不知者是無明。」

「何所不知?」

「謂色不如實知,色集、色滅、色滅道跡不如實知。受、想、行、識不如實知,識集、識滅、識滅道跡不如實知。摩訶拘絺羅!於此五受陰不如實知、不知、不見、不無間等、愚、闇、不明,是名無明,成就此者,名有無明。」

又問舍利弗:「云何為明?誰有此明?」

舍利弗言:「所謂明者是知,知者是明。」

又問:「何所知?」

舍利弗言:「色如實知,色集、色滅、色滅道跡如實知。受、想、行、識如實知,識集、識滅、識滅道跡如實知。拘絺羅!於此五受陰如實知、見、明、覺、慧、無間等,是名為明,成就此法者,是名有明。」

是二正士各聞所說,展轉隨喜,從坐而起,各還本處

『拘絺羅!對於這五種受陰,如實地知曉、看見、明白、覺悟、有智慧、沒有間隔等等,這稱為明。成就這種法的人,稱為有明。』 這兩位賢者各自聽聞所說,輾轉隨喜,從座位上起身,各自回到自己的住所。 (二五七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,尊者舍利弗、尊者摩訶拘絺羅在耆阇崛山。 當時,摩訶拘絺羅在傍晚時分從禪定中起身,前往尊者舍利弗的住所,互相問候,種種愉悅之後,退坐在一旁。 當時,尊者摩訶拘絺羅對舍利弗說:『我有些問題想請教,您是否有空為我解答呢?』 舍利弗說:『仁者請問,知道的我會說。』 摩訶拘絺羅問舍利弗:『所謂的無明,到底什麼是無明?誰有這種無明?』 舍利弗回答說:『無明就是不知,不知就是無明。』 『不知什麼呢?』 『就是對色不如實地知曉,對色的生起、色的滅去、色滅的道路不如實地知曉。對受、想、行、識不如實地知曉,對識的生起、識的滅去、識滅的道路不如實地知曉。摩訶拘絺羅!對於這五種受陰,不如實地知曉、不知、不見、不無間隔等等、愚昧、黑暗、不明,這稱為無明,成就這種狀態的人,稱為有無明。』 又問舍利弗:『什麼是明?誰有這種明?』 舍利弗說:『所謂的明就是知,知就是明。』 又問:『知什麼呢?』 舍利弗說:『如實地知曉色,如實地知曉色的生起、色的滅去、色滅的道路。如實地知曉受、想、行、識,如實地知曉識的生起、識的滅去、識滅的道路。拘絺羅!對於這五種受陰,如實地知曉、看見、明白、覺悟、有智慧、沒有間隔等等,這稱為明,成就這種法的人,稱為有明。』 這兩位賢者各自聽聞所說,輾轉隨喜,從座位上起身,各自回到自己的住所。

'Kucchila! To truly know, see, understand, realize, have wisdom, and be without interruption regarding these five aggregates of clinging, this is called clarity. One who achieves this dharma is called having clarity.' These two noble men, having each heard what was said, rejoiced in turn, rose from their seats, and each returned to their own place. (257) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, the venerable Sariputta and the venerable Maha Kucchila were on Gijjhakuta Mountain. Then, Maha Kucchila, in the late afternoon, arose from meditation and went to the venerable Sariputta, exchanged greetings, and after various pleasantries, sat down to one side. Then, the venerable Maha Kucchila said to Sariputta, 'I have some questions to ask, would you have a little time to explain them to me?' Sariputta said, 'Ask, venerable one, and I will explain what I know.' Maha Kucchila asked Sariputta, 'What is ignorance, and who has this ignorance?' Sariputta replied, 'Ignorance is not knowing, not knowing is ignorance.' 'What is not known?' 'It is not truly knowing form, not truly knowing the arising of form, the cessation of form, and the path leading to the cessation of form. It is not truly knowing feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, not truly knowing the arising of consciousness, the cessation of consciousness, and the path leading to the cessation of consciousness. Maha Kucchila! Not truly knowing, not knowing, not seeing, not being without interruption, being foolish, dark, and unclear regarding these five aggregates of clinging, this is called ignorance, and one who achieves this state is called having ignorance.' Then he asked Sariputta, 'What is clarity, and who has this clarity?' Sariputta said, 'Clarity is knowing, knowing is clarity.' He asked again, 'What is known?' Sariputta said, 'Truly knowing form, truly knowing the arising of form, the cessation of form, and the path leading to the cessation of form. Truly knowing feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, truly knowing the arising of consciousness, the cessation of consciousness, and the path leading to the cessation of consciousness. Kucchila! To truly know, see, understand, realize, have wisdom, and be without interruption regarding these five aggregates of clinging, this is called clarity, and one who achieves this dharma is called having clarity.' These two noble men, having each heard what was said, rejoiced in turn, rose from their seats, and each returned to their own place.

時,摩訶拘絺羅語舍利弗言:「所謂無明,無明者為何謂耶?誰有此無明?」

舍利弗言:「不知,是無明。」

「不知何等?」

「謂色不如實知,色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離不如實知。受、想、行、識,識集、識滅、識味、識患、識離不如實知。摩訶拘絺羅!於此五受陰不如實知、不如實見、不無間等、若闇、若愚,是名無明,成就此法者,名有無明。」又問:「明者。云何為明?誰有此明?」

舍利弗言:「知者是明。」

「為何所知?」

舍利弗言:「色如實知,色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離如實知。如是受、想、行、識如實知,識集、識滅、識味、識患、識離如實知。摩訶拘絺羅!於此五受陰如實知、如實見、明、覺、慧、無間等,是名為明,成就此者,名為有明。」

時,摩訶拘絺羅語舍利弗:「欲有所問,仁者寧有閑暇見答以不?」

舍利弗言:「仁者且問,知者當答。」

時,摩訶拘絺羅問舍利弗言:「若比丘未得無間等法,欲求無間等法,云何方便求?思惟何等法?」

舍利弗言:「若比丘未得無間等法,欲求無間等法,精勤思惟:『五受陰為病、為癰、為刺、為殺、無常、苦、空、非我。』所以者何?是所應處故。若比丘於此五受陰精勤思惟,得須陀洹果證。」

又問:「舍利弗!得須陀洹果證已,欲得斯陀含果證者,當思惟何等法?」

舍利弗言:「拘絺羅!已得須陀洹果證已,欲得斯陀含果證者,亦當精勤思惟:『此五受陰法為病、為癰、為刺、為殺、無常、苦、空、非我。』所以者何?是所應處故。若比丘於此五受陰精勤思惟,得斯陀含果證。」

摩訶拘絺羅又問舍利弗言:「得斯陀含果證已,欲得阿那含果證者,當思惟何等法?」

舍利弗言:「拘絺羅!得斯陀含果證已,欲得阿那含果證者,當復精勤思惟:『此五受陰法為病、為癰、為刺、為殺、無常、苦、空、非我。』所以者何?是所應處故。若比丘於此五受陰精勤思惟,得阿那含果證。」

現代漢語譯本 當時,摩訶拘絺羅對舍利弗說:『我想問你一些問題,你是否有空閑時間回答呢?』 舍利弗說:『請問吧,知道的我會回答。』 當時,摩訶拘絺羅問舍利弗:『如果比丘沒有證得無間等法,想要證得無間等法,應該如何方便修行?應該思惟哪些法?』 舍利弗說:『如果比丘沒有證得無間等法,想要證得無間等法,應該精勤思惟:『五受陰是病、是癰、是刺、是殺、是無常、是苦、是空、是非我。』為什麼呢?因為這是應該這樣做的。如果比丘對這五受陰勤加思惟,就能證得須陀洹果。』 又問:『舍利弗!已經證得須陀洹果,想要證得斯陀含果,應該思惟哪些法?』 舍利弗說:『拘絺羅!已經證得須陀洹果,想要證得斯陀含果,也應該精勤思惟:『這五受陰是病、是癰、是刺、是殺、是無常、是苦、是空、是非我。』為什麼呢?因為這是應該這樣做的。如果比丘對這五受陰勤加思惟,就能證得斯陀含果。』 摩訶拘絺羅又問舍利弗:『已經證得斯陀含果,想要證得阿那含果,應該思惟哪些法?』 舍利弗說:『拘絺羅!已經證得斯陀含果,想要證得阿那含果,應該再次精勤思惟:『這五受陰是病、是癰、是刺、是殺、是無常、是苦、是空、是非我。』為什麼呢?因為這是應該這樣做的。如果比丘對這五受陰勤加思惟,就能證得阿那含果。』 摩訶拘絺羅又問舍利弗:『已經證得阿那含果,想要證得阿羅漢果,應該思惟哪些法?』 舍利弗說:『拘絺羅!已經證得阿那含果,想要證得阿羅漢果,應該再次精勤思惟:『這五受陰是病、是癰、是刺、是殺、是無常、是苦、是空、是非我。』為什麼呢?因為這是應該這樣做的。如果比丘對這五受陰法精勤思惟,就能證得阿羅漢果。』

English version At that time, Mahākauṣṭhila said to Śāriputra, 'I wish to ask you something. Do you have the leisure to answer?' Śāriputra said, 'Please ask, I will answer what I know.' Then, Mahākauṣṭhila asked Śāriputra, 'If a bhikkhu has not attained the uniterrupted dharma, and wishes to attain the uninterrupted dharma, what is the convenient way to practice? What dharma should one contemplate?' Śāriputra said, 'If a bhikkhu has not attained the uninterrupted dharma, and wishes to attain the uninterrupted dharma, he should diligently contemplate: 『The five aggregates of clinging are a disease, a boil, a thorn, a killing, impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self.』 Why is that? Because that is the proper way. If a bhikkhu diligently contemplates these five aggregates, he will attain the fruit of Srotāpanna.' He further asked, 'Śāriputra! Having attained the fruit of Srotāpanna, if one wishes to attain the fruit of Sakadāgāmin, what dharma should one contemplate?' Śāriputra said, 'Kauṣṭhila! Having attained the fruit of Srotāpanna, if one wishes to attain the fruit of Sakadāgāmin, one should also diligently contemplate: 『These five aggregates of clinging are a disease, a boil, a thorn, a killing, impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self.』 Why is that? Because that is the proper way. If a bhikkhu diligently contemplates these five aggregates, he will attain the fruit of Sakadāgāmin.' Mahākauṣṭhila further asked Śāriputra, 'Having attained the fruit of Sakadāgāmin, if one wishes to attain the fruit of Anāgāmin, what dharma should one contemplate?' Śāriputra said, 'Kauṣṭhila! Having attained the fruit of Sakadāgāmin, if one wishes to attain the fruit of Anāgāmin, one should again diligently contemplate: 『These five aggregates of clinging are a disease, a boil, a thorn, a killing, impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self.』 Why is that? Because that is the proper way. If a bhikkhu diligently contemplates these five aggregates, he will attain the fruit of Anāgāmin.' Mahākauṣṭhila further asked Śāriputra, 'Having attained the fruit of Anāgāmin, if one wishes to attain the fruit of Arhat, what dharma should one contemplate?' Śāriputra said, 'Kauṣṭhila! Having attained the fruit of Anāgāmin, if one wishes to attain the fruit of Arhat, one should again diligently contemplate: 『These five aggregates of clinging are a disease, a boil, a thorn, a killing, impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self.』 Why is that? Because that is the proper way. If a bhikkhu diligently contemplates these five aggregates, he will attain the fruit of Arhat.'


。」

摩訶拘絺羅又問舍利弗:「得阿羅漢果證已,復思惟何等法?」

舍利弗言:「摩訶拘絺羅!阿羅漢亦復思惟:『此五受陰法為病、為癰、為刺、為殺、無常、苦、空、非我。』所以者何?為得未得故,證未證故,見法樂住故。」

時,二正士各聞所說,歡喜而去。

(二六〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者舍利弗詣尊者阿難所,共相問訊已,卻坐一面。

時,尊者舍利弗問尊者阿難言:「欲有所問,仁者寧有閑暇見答以不?」

阿難言:「仁者且問,知者當答。」

舍利弗言:「阿難!所謂滅者。云何為滅?誰有此滅?」

阿難言:「舍利弗!五受陰是本行所作、本所思愿,是無常、滅法,彼法滅故,是名為滅。云何為五?所謂色受陰是本行所作、本所思愿,是無常、滅法,彼法滅故,是名為滅。如是受、想、行、識,是本行所作、本所思愿,是無常、滅法,彼法滅故,是名為滅。」

舍利弗言:「如是,如是。阿難!如汝所說,此五受陰是本行所作、本所思愿,是無常、滅法,彼法滅故,是名為滅。云何為五?所謂色受陰是本行所作、本所思愿,是無常、滅法,彼法滅故,是名為滅。如是受、想、行、識,是本行所作、本所思愿,是無常、滅法,彼法滅故,是名為滅。阿難!此五受陰,若非本行所作、本所思愿者。云何可滅?阿難!以五受陰是本行所作、本所思愿,是無常、滅法,彼法滅故,是名為滅。」

時,二正士各聞所說,歡喜而去

現代漢語譯本 摩訶拘絺羅又問舍利弗:『證得阿羅漢果后,還會思惟什麼法?』 舍利弗說:『摩訶拘絺羅!阿羅漢也會思惟:這五種受陰法是病、是癰、是刺、是殺、是無常、是苦、是空、是非我。』為什麼呢?因為要達到未達到的境界,證得未證得的果位,爲了安住于見法的喜樂之中。 當時,兩位正士聽聞所說,都歡喜地離開了。 (二六〇) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者舍利弗前往尊者阿難處,互相問候后,在一旁坐下。 這時,尊者舍利弗問尊者阿難說:『我想請教一些問題,您是否有空回答呢?』 阿難說:『您請問吧,知道的我會回答。』 舍利弗說:『阿難!所謂的滅,什麼是滅?誰有這種滅?』 阿難說:『舍利弗!五種受陰是過去行為所造作、過去所思所愿的,是無常、會滅的法,這些法滅了,就叫做滅。哪五種呢?所謂色受陰是過去行為所造作、過去所思所愿的,是無常、會滅的法,這些法滅了,就叫做滅。同樣,受、想、行、識,是過去行為所造作、過去所思所愿的,是無常、會滅的法,這些法滅了,就叫做滅。』 舍利弗說:『是這樣,是這樣。阿難!正如你所說,這五種受陰是過去行為所造作、過去所思所愿的,是無常、會滅的法,這些法滅了,就叫做滅。哪五種呢?所謂色受陰是過去行為所造作、過去所思所愿的,是無常、會滅的法,這些法滅了,就叫做滅。同樣,受、想、行、識,是過去行為所造作、過去所思所愿的,是無常、會滅的法,這些法滅了,就叫做滅。阿難!如果這五種受陰不是過去行為所造作、過去所思所愿的,怎麼可能滅呢?阿難!正因為這五種受陰是過去行為所造作、過去所思所愿的,是無常、會滅的法,這些法滅了,才叫做滅。』 當時,兩位正士聽聞所說,都歡喜地離開了。

English version Mahākoṣṭhila then asked Śāriputra, 'Having attained the fruit of Arhatship, what Dharma does one contemplate further?' Śāriputra said, 'Mahākoṣṭhila! An Arhat also contemplates: 「These five aggregates of clinging are a disease, a boil, a thorn, a killing, impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self.」 Why is that? It is to attain what has not been attained, to realize what has not been realized, and to abide in the joy of seeing the Dharma.' Then, the two noble ones, having heard what was said, rejoiced and departed. (260) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī. Then, Venerable Śāriputra went to Venerable Ānanda, and after exchanging greetings, sat down to one side. At that time, Venerable Śāriputra asked Venerable Ānanda, 'I wish to ask something; do you have the leisure to answer?' Ānanda said, 'Ask, venerable one; I will answer what I know.' Śāriputra said, 'Ānanda! What is called cessation? What is cessation? Who has this cessation?' Ānanda said, 'Śāriputra! The five aggregates of clinging are made by past actions, past thoughts, and past wishes; they are impermanent and subject to cessation. When those things cease, that is called cessation. What are the five? The aggregate of form is made by past actions, past thoughts, and past wishes; it is impermanent and subject to cessation. When that ceases, that is called cessation. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are made by past actions, past thoughts, and past wishes; they are impermanent and subject to cessation. When those things cease, that is called cessation.' Śāriputra said, 'So it is, so it is. Ānanda! As you have said, these five aggregates of clinging are made by past actions, past thoughts, and past wishes; they are impermanent and subject to cessation. When those things cease, that is called cessation. What are the five? The aggregate of form is made by past actions, past thoughts, and past wishes; it is impermanent and subject to cessation. When that ceases, that is called cessation. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are made by past actions, past thoughts, and past wishes; they are impermanent and subject to cessation. When those things cease, that is called cessation. Ānanda! If these five aggregates of clinging were not made by past actions, past thoughts, and past wishes, how could they cease? Ānanda! Because these five aggregates of clinging are made by past actions, past thoughts, and past wishes, they are impermanent and subject to cessation. When those things cease, that is called cessation.' Then, the two noble ones, having heard what was said, rejoiced and departed.


(二六一)

如是我聞:

一時,尊者阿難住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園。

時,尊者阿難告諸比丘:「尊者富留那彌多羅尼子年少初出家時,常說深法,作如是言:『阿難!生法計是我,非不生。阿難!云何于生法計是我,非不生?色生,生是我,非不生。受、想、行、識生,生是我,非不生。譬如士夫手執明鏡及凈水鏡,自見面生,生故見,非不生。是故,阿難!色生,生故計是我,非不生。如是受、想、行、識生,生故計是我,非不生。云何?阿難!色是常耶?為無常耶?』答曰:『無常。』

「又問:『無常者,是苦耶?』答曰:『是苦。』又問:『若無常、苦者,是變易法,聖弟子于中復計我、異我、相在不?』答曰:『不也。』『如是受、想、行、識為是常耶?為無常耶?』答曰:『無常。』『若無常,是苦耶?』答曰:『是苦。』又問:『若無常、苦者,是變易法,多聞聖弟子于中寧復計我、異我、相在不?』答曰:『不也。』

「『阿難!是故,色若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在。如是受、想、行、識,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在如實知,如實觀察。如是觀者,聖弟子於色生厭、離欲、解脫:「我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。」如是受、想、行、識,生厭、離欲、解脫:「我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有

現代漢語譯本 (二六一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,尊者阿難住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。 當時,尊者阿難告訴眾比丘:『尊者富留那彌多羅尼子年少初出家時,常說深奧的佛法,這樣說道:「阿難!生法被認為是『我』,而不是『非我』。阿難!為什麼說生法被認為是『我』,而不是『非我』呢?色產生,產生就是『我』,而不是『非我』。受、想、行、識產生,產生就是『我』,而不是『非我』。譬如一個男子手持明鏡或清凈的水鏡,自己看到面容的產生,因為產生所以能看到,而不是不產生。因此,阿難!色產生,因為產生所以被認為是『我』,而不是『非我』。同樣,受、想、行、識產生,因為產生所以被認為是『我』,而不是『非我』。怎麼樣?阿難!色是常住的嗎?還是無常的呢?」回答說:「是無常的。」』 『又問:「無常的東西,是苦嗎?」回答說:「是苦。」又問:「如果無常、是苦,是變易之法,聖弟子還會認為其中有『我』、『異我』、『相在』嗎?」回答說:「不會。」「同樣,受、想、行、識是常住的嗎?還是無常的呢?」回答說:「是無常的。」「如果無常,是苦嗎?」回答說:「是苦。」又問:「如果無常、是苦,是變易之法,多聞的聖弟子還會認為其中有『我』、『異我』、『相在』嗎?」回答說:「不會。」』 『阿難!因此,色無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是美好、醜陋,無論是遙遠、臨近,這一切都不是『我』,不異於『我』,不相依存在。同樣,受、想、行、識,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在、外在,無論是粗糙、細微,無論是美好、醜陋,無論是遙遠、臨近,這一切都不是『我』,不異於『我』,不相依存在,應當如實地知曉,如實地觀察。這樣觀察的人,聖弟子對於色會產生厭惡、離欲、解脫:「我的生命已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有後世的生命。」同樣,對於受、想、行、識,會產生厭惡、離欲、解脫:「我的生命已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有後世的生命。」』

English version (Two hundred and sixty-one) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Venerable Ananda was dwelling in the Ghosita Garden in Kosambi. Then, the Venerable Ananda addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'Venerable Purna Maitrayaniputra, when he was young and newly ordained, often spoke of profound Dharma, saying: 「Ananda! The arising of phenomena is considered 『I』, not 『not-I』. Ananda! How is it that the arising of phenomena is considered 『I』, not 『not-I』? Form arises, arising is 『I』, not 『not-I』. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness arise, arising is 『I』, not 『not-I』. Just as a man holding a clear mirror or a clean water mirror sees the arising of his own face, because it arises, he sees it, not because it does not arise. Therefore, Ananda! Form arises, because it arises, it is considered 『I』, not 『not-I』. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness arise, because they arise, they are considered 『I』, not 『not-I』. What do you think, Ananda? Is form permanent or impermanent?」 He replied: 「Impermanent.」』 'He further asked: 「That which is impermanent, is it suffering?」 He replied: 「It is suffering.」 He further asked: 「If it is impermanent and suffering, and subject to change, would a noble disciple still consider it 『I』, 『different from I』, or 『existing within I』?」 He replied: 「No.」 「Likewise, are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness permanent or impermanent?」 He replied: 「Impermanent.」 「If it is impermanent, is it suffering?」 He replied: 「It is suffering.」 He further asked: 「If it is impermanent and suffering, and subject to change, would a well-learned noble disciple still consider it 『I』, 『different from I』, or 『existing within I』?」 He replied: 「No.」』 'Ananda! Therefore, form, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of it is not 『I』, not different from 『I』, and not existing within 『I』. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all of it is not 『I』, not different from 『I』, and not existing within 『I』. One should know this as it truly is, and observe it as it truly is. One who observes in this way, a noble disciple develops aversion, dispassion, and liberation from form: 「Birth is exhausted, the holy life is lived, what had to be done is done, I know that there will be no further existence.」 Likewise, from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, one develops aversion, dispassion, and liberation: 「Birth is exhausted, the holy life is lived, what had to be done is done, I know that there will be no further existence.」』


。」』

「諸比丘當知,彼尊者於我有大饒益,我從彼尊者所聞法已,遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。我從是來,常以此法為四眾說,非餘外道沙門、婆羅門出家者說。」

(二六二)

如是我聞:

一時,有眾多上座比丘住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中,佛般泥洹未久。

時,長老闡陀晨朝著衣持缽,入波羅㮈城乞食。食已,還攝衣缽,洗足已,持戶鉤,從林至林,從房至房,從經行處至經行處,處處請諸比丘言:「當教授我,為我說法,令我知法、見法,我當如法知、如法觀。」

時,諸比丘語闡陀言:「色無常,受、想、行、識無常,一切行無常,一切法無我,涅槃寂滅。」

闡陀語諸比丘言:「我已知色無常,受、想、行、識無常,一切行無常,一切法無我,涅槃寂滅。」

闡陀復言:「然我不喜聞:『一切諸行空寂、不可得、愛盡、離欲、涅槃。』此中雲何有我而言:『如是知、如是見,是名見法。』?」第二、第三亦如是說。

闡陀復言:「是中誰復有力堪能為我說法,令我知法、見法?」復作是念:「尊者阿難今在拘睒彌國瞿師羅園,曾供養親覲世尊,佛所讚歎,諸梵行者皆悉識知。彼必堪能為我說法,令我知法、見法。」

時,闡陀過此夜已,晨朝著衣持缽,入波羅㮈城乞食。食已,還攝舉臥具,攝臥具已,持衣缽詣拘睒彌國,漸漸遊行到拘睒彌國,攝舉衣缽,洗足已,詣尊者阿難所,共相問訊已,卻坐一面。

時,闡陀語尊者阿難言:「一時,諸上座比丘住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中

現代漢語譯本 『諸位比丘應當知道,那位尊者對我有著極大的恩惠,我從那位尊者那裡聽聞佛法后,遠離了塵垢,獲得了法眼清凈。我從那時起,常常用這個佛法為四眾弟子宣講,而不是為其他外道沙門、婆羅門出家的人宣講。』

(二六二)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,有許多上座比丘住在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中,那時佛陀涅槃不久。

當時,長老闡陀早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入波羅奈城乞食。吃完飯後,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著門閂,從樹林到樹林,從房屋到房屋,從經行的地方到經行的地方,到處請教各位比丘說:『請教導我,為我說法,讓我瞭解佛法、見到佛法,我將如法地瞭解、如法地觀察。』

當時,各位比丘對闡陀說:『色是無常的,受、想、行、識也是無常的,一切行為都是無常的,一切法都是無我的,涅槃是寂滅的。』

闡陀對各位比丘說:『我已經知道色是無常的,受、想、行、識是無常的,一切行為是無常的,一切法是無我的,涅槃是寂滅的。』

闡陀又說:『然而我不喜歡聽:『一切諸行都是空寂的、不可得的、愛慾滅盡的、離欲的、涅槃的。』這裡面怎麼會有我而言:『像這樣瞭解、像這樣見到,就叫做見到佛法』呢?』第二次、第三次也這樣說。

闡陀又說:『這裡面誰又有能力能夠為我說法,讓我瞭解佛法、見到佛法呢?』他又想:『尊者阿難現在在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園,曾經供養親近過世尊,被佛陀所讚歎,所有修行梵行的人都認識他。他一定能夠為我說法,讓我瞭解佛法、見到佛法。』

當時,闡陀過完這一夜后,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入波羅奈城乞食。吃完飯後,收好臥具,收好臥具后,拿著衣缽前往拘睒彌國,漸漸地到達拘睒彌國,收好衣缽,洗完腳后,前往尊者阿難那裡,互相問候后,坐在一旁。

當時,闡陀對尊者阿難說:『一時,各位上座比丘住在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中

English version 'Monks, you should know that that venerable one was of great benefit to me. Having heard the Dharma from that venerable one, I was far from defilement and obtained the purity of the Dharma eye. From then on, I have always used this Dharma to preach to the four assemblies, and not to other non-Buddhist ascetics, Brahmins, or renunciates.'

(262)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, many elder monks were dwelling in the Deer Park at the Isipatana hermitage in Varanasi, not long after the Buddha's Parinirvana.

Then, the elder Chanda, in the morning, having dressed and taken his bowl, entered the city of Varanasi for alms. Having eaten, he put away his robes and bowl, washed his feet, and taking a door latch, went from grove to grove, from dwelling to dwelling, from place of walking to place of walking, everywhere asking the monks, 'Please instruct me, teach me the Dharma, so that I may know the Dharma, see the Dharma, and I will know and observe the Dharma accordingly.'

Then, the monks said to Chanda, 'Form is impermanent, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, all conditioned things are impermanent, all phenomena are without self, Nirvana is peace.'

Chanda said to the monks, 'I already know that form is impermanent, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, all conditioned things are impermanent, all phenomena are without self, and Nirvana is peace.'

Chanda further said, 'Yet I do not like to hear: 'All conditioned things are empty, unattainable, the end of craving, dispassion, Nirvana.' How can there be a 'me' in this, saying: 'Knowing and seeing thus, this is called seeing the Dharma'?' He said this a second and third time.

Chanda further said, 'Who here has the power to teach me the Dharma, so that I may know the Dharma and see the Dharma?' He then thought, 'The venerable Ananda is now in the Ghosita Park in Kausambi, having served and been close to the World Honored One, praised by the Buddha, and known by all those who practice the holy life. He will surely be able to teach me the Dharma, so that I may know the Dharma and see the Dharma.'

Then, Chanda, having passed the night, in the morning, having dressed and taken his bowl, entered the city of Varanasi for alms. Having eaten, he put away his bedding, and having put away his bedding, he took his robes and bowl and went to Kausambi. Gradually he arrived at Kausambi, put away his robes and bowl, washed his feet, and went to the venerable Ananda. Having exchanged greetings, he sat down to one side.

Then, Chanda said to the venerable Ananda, 'At one time, many elder monks were dwelling in the Deer Park at the Isipatana hermitage in Varanasi


。時,我晨朝著衣持缽入波羅㮈城乞食。食已,還攝衣缽,洗足已,持戶鉤,從林至林,從房至房,從經行處至經行處,處處見諸比丘,而請之言:『當教授我,為我說法,令我知法、見法。』時,諸比丘為我說法言:『色無常,受、想、行、識無常,一切行無常,一切法無我,涅槃寂滅。』我爾時語諸比丘言:『我已知色無常,受、想、行、識無常,一切行無常,一切法無我,涅槃寂滅。然我不喜聞:「一切諸行空寂、不可得、愛盡、離欲、涅槃。」此中雲何有我而言:「如是知、如是見,是名見法。」?』我爾時作是念:『是中誰復有力堪能為我說法,令我知法、見法?』我時復作是念:『尊者阿難今在拘睒彌國瞿師羅園,曾供養親覲世尊,佛所讚歎,諸梵行者皆悉知識。彼必堪能為我說法,令我知法、見法。』善哉!尊者阿難今當爲我說法,令我知法、見法。」

時,尊者阿難語闡陀言:「善哉!闡陀!我意大喜,我慶仁者能于梵行人前,無所覆藏,破虛偽刺。闡陀!愚癡凡夫所不能解色無常,受、想、行、識無常,一切諸行無常,一切法無我,涅槃寂滅。汝今堪受勝妙法,汝今諦聽,當爲汝說。」

時,闡陀作是念:「我今歡喜得勝妙心、得踴悅心,我今堪能受勝妙法。」

爾時,阿難語闡陀言:「我親從佛聞,教摩訶迦旃延言:『世人顛倒依於二邊,若有、若無,世人取諸境界,心便計著。迦旃延!若不受、不取、不住、不計於我,此苦生時生、滅時滅。迦旃延!於此不疑、不惑、不由於他而能自知,是名正見,如來所說

現代漢語譯本:那時,我早上穿好衣服,拿著缽進入波羅奈城乞食。吃完飯後,我收好衣服和缽,洗完腳,拿著門鉤,從樹林到樹林,從房屋到房屋,從經行處到經行處,到處見到各位比丘,就請教他們說:『請教導我,為我說法,讓我瞭解佛法、見到佛法。』當時,各位比丘為我說法說:『色是無常的,受、想、行、識也是無常的,一切行為都是無常的,一切法都是無我的,涅槃是寂滅的。』我當時對各位比丘說:『我已經知道色是無常的,受、想、行、識也是無常的,一切行為都是無常的,一切法都是無我的,涅槃是寂滅的。然而我不喜歡聽『一切諸行空寂、不可得、愛盡、離欲、涅槃』這樣的說法。這裡面怎麼會有我,然後說『像這樣知道、像這樣見到,就叫做見到佛法』呢?』我當時這樣想:『這裡面誰還有能力可以為我說法,讓我瞭解佛法、見到佛法呢?』我當時又這樣想:『尊者阿難現在在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園,曾經供養親近過世尊,受到佛的讚歎,各位修行者都知道他。他一定有能力為我說法,讓我瞭解佛法、見到佛法。』太好了!尊者阿難現在應當為我說法,讓我瞭解佛法、見到佛法。」 當時,尊者阿難對闡陀說:『太好了!闡陀!我非常高興,我慶幸你能當著修行人的面,毫無隱瞞,破除虛偽的障礙。闡陀!愚癡的凡夫不能理解色是無常的,受、想、行、識是無常的,一切行為都是無常的,一切法都是無我的,涅槃是寂滅的。你現在可以接受殊勝的佛法,你現在仔細聽,我將為你解說。』 當時,闡陀這樣想:『我現在歡喜得到了殊勝的心、得到了喜悅的心,我現在可以接受殊勝的佛法了。』 這時,阿難對闡陀說:『我親自從佛那裡聽到,教導摩訶迦旃延說:『世人顛倒地執著于兩種極端,要麼是有,要麼是無,世人執取各種境界,心裡就產生執著。迦旃延!如果不接受、不執取、不住留、不計較於我,那麼苦產生時就產生,苦滅亡時就滅亡。迦旃延!對於這個道理不懷疑、不迷惑、不依賴於他人而能自己知道,這就叫做正見,是如來所說的。』

English version: At that time, I would dress in the morning, take my bowl, and enter the city of Varanasi to beg for food. After eating, I would put away my robes and bowl, wash my feet, take my door hook, and go from grove to grove, from house to house, from walking path to walking path, everywhere seeing the monks, and I would ask them, 『Please instruct me, preach the Dharma to me, so that I may understand the Dharma and see the Dharma.』 At that time, the monks would preach to me, saying, 『Form is impermanent, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, all conditioned things are impermanent, all phenomena are without self, and Nirvana is the cessation of suffering.』 I would then say to the monks, 『I already know that form is impermanent, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, all conditioned things are impermanent, all phenomena are without self, and Nirvana is the cessation of suffering. However, I do not like to hear, 『All conditioned things are empty and still, unattainable, the end of craving, detachment, and Nirvana.』 How can there be a 『me』 in this, and then say, 『Knowing and seeing in this way is called seeing the Dharma』?』 I then thought, 『Who here has the ability to preach the Dharma to me, so that I may understand the Dharma and see the Dharma?』 I then thought again, 『Venerable Ananda is now in the Ghositarama Garden in Kausambi, he has served and been close to the World Honored One, he is praised by the Buddha, and all the practitioners know him. He must be able to preach the Dharma to me, so that I may understand the Dharma and see the Dharma.』 Excellent! Venerable Ananda should now preach the Dharma to me, so that I may understand the Dharma and see the Dharma.』 At that time, Venerable Ananda said to Chanda, 『Excellent! Chanda! I am very happy, and I rejoice that you can, in front of the practitioners, without any concealment, break through the thorns of falsehood. Chanda! Foolish ordinary people cannot understand that form is impermanent, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, all conditioned things are impermanent, all phenomena are without self, and Nirvana is the cessation of suffering. You are now capable of receiving the supreme Dharma, now listen carefully, and I will explain it to you.』 At that time, Chanda thought, 『I am now happy to have obtained a supreme mind, and a joyful mind, I am now capable of receiving the supreme Dharma.』 Then, Ananda said to Chanda, 『I personally heard from the Buddha, teaching Maha Katyayana, 『The people of the world are deluded and cling to two extremes, either existence or non-existence. The people of the world grasp at various realms, and their minds become attached. Katyayana! If one does not accept, does not grasp, does not dwell, and does not conceive of a self, then when suffering arises, it arises, and when suffering ceases, it ceases. Katyayana! To be without doubt, without confusion, and to know this for oneself without relying on others, this is called right view, as spoken by the Tathagata.』


。所以者何?迦旃延!如實正觀世間集者,則不生世間無見,如實正觀世間滅,則不生世間有見。迦旃延!如來離於二邊,說于中道,所謂此有故彼有,此生故彼生,謂緣無明有行,乃至生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦集;所謂此無故彼無,此滅故彼滅,謂無明滅則行滅,乃至生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅。』」

尊者阿難說是法時,闡陀比丘遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。爾時,闡陀比丘見法、得法、知法、起法,超越狐疑,不由於他,于大師教法,得無所畏。恭敬合掌白尊者阿難言:「正應如是。如是智慧梵行,善知識教授教誡說法。我今從尊者阿難所,聞如是法,於一切行皆空、皆悉寂、不可得、愛盡、離欲、滅盡、涅槃,心樂正住解脫,不復轉還,不復見我,唯見正法。」

時,阿難語闡陀言:「汝今得大善利,于甚深佛法中,得聖慧眼。」

時,二正士展轉隨喜,從坐而起,各還本處。

輸屢那三種  無明亦有三  無間等及滅  富留那、闡陀

(二六三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘留國雜色牧牛聚落。

爾時,佛告諸比丘:「我以知見故,得諸漏盡,非不知見。云何以知見故,得諸漏盡,非不知見?謂此色、此色集、此色滅;此受、想、行、識,此識集、此識滅。不修方便隨順成就,而用心求:『令我諸漏盡,心得解脫。』當知彼比丘終不能得漏盡解脫。所以者何?不修習故,不修習何等?謂不修習念處、正勤、如意足、根、力、覺、道

這是什麼原因呢?迦旃延!如實地正確觀察世間的集起,就不會產生世間無有的見解;如實地正確觀察世間的滅亡,就不會產生世間存在的見解。迦旃延!如來捨棄了這兩種極端,宣說中道,所謂『此有故彼有,此生故彼生』,即是說,以無明為緣而有行,乃至生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦的集起;所謂『此無故彼無,此滅故彼滅』,即是說,無明滅則行滅,乃至生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦的滅亡。 當尊者阿難宣說此法時,闡陀比丘遠離塵垢,獲得了清凈的法眼。那時,闡陀比丘見到了法、得到了法、理解了法、實踐了法,超越了疑惑,不再依賴他人,對於大師的教法,獲得了無所畏懼的信心。他恭敬地合掌對尊者阿難說:『確實應該如此。這樣的智慧梵行,是善知識的教導和說法。我現在從尊者阿難這裡聽聞了這樣的法,瞭解到一切行都是空性的、寂靜的、不可得的,愛慾已盡、離欲、滅盡、涅槃,內心安樂地安住于解脫,不再輪迴,不再執著于自我,只見到正法。』 當時,阿難對闡陀說:『你現在獲得了巨大的利益,在甚深的佛法中,獲得了聖慧之眼。』 當時,這兩位正士互相隨喜,從座位上起身,各自回到自己的住所。 輸屢那有三種,無明也有三種,無間等以及滅,富留那、闡陀。 (二六三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在拘留國的雜色牧牛聚落。 當時,佛陀告訴眾比丘:『我因為有了知見,所以才能斷盡諸漏,而不是因為沒有知見。如何因為有了知見,才能斷盡諸漏,而不是因為沒有知見呢?就是說,瞭解此色、此色集、此色滅;此受、想、行、識,此識集、此識滅。不修習方便,不順應成就,卻用心去求:『讓我斷盡諸漏,心得解脫。』應當知道,那樣的比丘終究不能得到漏盡解脫。這是什麼原因呢?因為沒有修習。沒有修習什麼呢?就是沒有修習念處、正勤、如意足、根、力、覺、道。

What is the reason for this? Kaccāna, when one truly and correctly observes the arising of the world, one does not generate the view that the world is non-existent. When one truly and correctly observes the cessation of the world, one does not generate the view that the world is existent. Kaccāna, the Tathāgata, having abandoned these two extremes, teaches the Middle Way: 『This exists because that exists; this arises because that arises.』 That is to say, conditioned by ignorance, there are volitional formations, and so on, up to the arising of birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair. 『This does not exist because that does not exist; this ceases because that ceases.』 That is to say, with the cessation of ignorance, volitional formations cease, and so on, up to the cessation of birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair. When the venerable Ānanda spoke this teaching, the bhikkhu Chanda, being free from defilement and impurity, attained the pure eye of the Dhamma. Then, the bhikkhu Chanda, having seen the Dhamma, attained the Dhamma, understood the Dhamma, and realized the Dhamma, transcended doubt, was no longer dependent on others, and in the Master』s teaching, attained fearlessness. He respectfully joined his palms and said to the venerable Ānanda, 『It should indeed be so. Such is the wise holy life, the teaching and instruction of a good friend. Now, having heard this teaching from the venerable Ānanda, I understand that all formations are empty, all are peaceful, unattainable, with the exhaustion of craving, dispassion, cessation, and Nibbāna. My mind is happily established in liberation, no longer turning back, no longer seeing a self, but only seeing the true Dhamma.』 Then, Ānanda said to Chanda, 『You have now gained great benefit, having attained the holy eye of wisdom in the profound Dhamma of the Buddha.』 Then, these two noble ones, rejoicing in each other』s merit, rose from their seats and returned to their respective dwellings. There are three kinds of Śūraṇa, and three kinds of ignorance, without interval, etc., and cessation, Pūrṇa and Chanda. (263) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the variegated cowherd village in the country of Kuru. Then, the Buddha said to the bhikkhus, 『It is through knowledge and vision that I have attained the exhaustion of the taints, not through lack of knowledge and vision. How is it that through knowledge and vision, I have attained the exhaustion of the taints, and not through lack of knowledge and vision? It is by understanding this form, the arising of this form, and the cessation of this form; this feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness, the arising of this consciousness, and the cessation of this consciousness. Without cultivating the means, without conforming to the attainment, yet seeking with the mind, 『May I exhaust the taints and attain liberation of mind,』 know that such a bhikkhu will not attain the exhaustion of the taints and liberation. What is the reason for this? Because of not cultivating. What is not cultivated? That is, not cultivating the foundations of mindfulness, right effort, the bases of power, the faculties, the powers, the factors of enlightenment, and the path.


。譬如伏雞,生子眾多,不能隨時蔭餾,訊息冷暖,而欲令子以觜、以爪啄卵自生,安隱出㲉,當知彼子無有自力,堪能方便以觜、以爪安隱出㲉。所以者何?以彼雞母不能隨時蔭餾,冷暖長養子故。

「如是,比丘不勤修習隨順成就,而欲令得漏盡解脫,無有是處。所以者何?不修習故。不修何等?謂不修念處、正勤、如意足、根、力、覺、道,若比丘修習隨順成就者,雖不欲令漏盡解脫,而彼比丘自然漏盡,心得解脫。所以者何?以修習故。何所修習?謂修念處、正勤、如意足、根、力、覺、道,如彼伏雞善養其子,隨時蔭餾,冷暖得所,正復不欲令子方便自啄卵出,然其諸子自能方便安隱出㲉。所以者何?以彼伏雞隨時蔭餾,冷暖得所故。

「如是,比丘善修方便,正復不欲漏盡解脫,而彼比丘自然漏盡,心得解脫。所以者何?以勤修習故。何所修習?謂修念處、正勤、如意足、根、力、覺、道。譬如巧師、巧師弟子,手執斧柯,捉之不已,漸漸微盡手指處現,然彼不覺斧柯微盡而盡處現。

「如是,比丘精勤修習隨順成就,不自知見今日爾所漏盡,明日爾所漏盡,然彼比丘知有漏盡。所以者何?以修習故,何所修習?謂修習念處、正勤、如意足、根、力、覺、道。譬如大舶,在於海邊,經夏六月,風飄日暴,藤綴漸斷。

「如是,比丘精勤修習隨順成就,一切結縛、使、煩惱、纏,漸得解脫。所以者何?善修習故,何所修習?謂修習念處、正勤、如意足、根、力、覺、道。」

說是法時,六十比丘不起諸漏,心得解脫

現代漢語譯本:比如孵蛋的母雞,生了很多小雞,不能隨時給它們提供溫暖,調節冷熱,卻想讓小雞用嘴和爪子自己啄破蛋殼出生,安穩地出來,應當知道這些小雞沒有自力,不能自己方便地用嘴和爪子安穩地啄破蛋殼出來。為什麼呢?因為那母雞不能隨時給它們提供溫暖,調節冷熱來養育小雞的緣故。 同樣,比丘如果不勤奮地修習相應的法門,卻想獲得漏盡解脫,這是不可能的。為什麼呢?因為沒有修習的緣故。不修習什麼呢?就是不修習四念處、四正勤、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺支、八正道。如果比丘修習相應的法門,即使不想獲得漏盡解脫,那比丘也會自然地漏盡,心得解脫。為什麼呢?因為修習的緣故。修習什麼呢?就是修習四念處、四正勤、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺支、八正道。就像孵蛋的母雞好好地養育小雞,隨時給它們提供溫暖,調節冷熱,即使不想讓小雞自己啄破蛋殼出來,那些小雞也能自己方便地安穩地啄破蛋殼出來。為什麼呢?因為那孵蛋的母雞隨時給它們提供溫暖,調節冷熱的緣故。 同樣,比丘如果好好地修習方便法門,即使不想獲得漏盡解脫,那比丘也會自然地漏盡,心得解脫。為什麼呢?因為勤奮修習的緣故。修習什麼呢?就是修習四念處、四正勤、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺支、八正道。比如熟練的工匠或工匠的弟子,手裡拿著斧柄,不停地握著,漸漸地斧柄被磨損,手指握的地方顯露出來,但他不覺得斧柄在磨損,而磨損的地方卻顯露出來了。 同樣,比丘精勤地修習相應的法門,不自己知道今天漏盡了多少,明天漏盡了多少,但那比丘知道有漏盡。為什麼呢?因為修習的緣故。修習什麼呢?就是修習四念處、四正勤、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺支、八正道。比如一艘大船,停在海邊,經過六個月的夏天,風吹日曬,連線船身的藤條漸漸斷裂。 同樣,比丘精勤地修習相應的法門,一切的結縛、煩惱、纏縛,都會漸漸地解脫。為什麼呢?因為好好修習的緣故。修習什麼呢?就是修習四念處、四正勤、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺支、八正道。 當佛陀宣說此法時,六十位比丘不再有煩惱,心得解脫。

English version: For example, a hen incubating eggs, having produced many chicks, cannot constantly provide warmth and regulate the temperature, yet expects the chicks to use their beaks and claws to break out of their shells and emerge safely. It should be known that these chicks have no self-power, and cannot conveniently use their beaks and claws to safely break out of their shells. Why is this? Because the hen cannot constantly provide warmth and regulate the temperature to nurture the chicks. Similarly, if a bhikkhu does not diligently practice the corresponding teachings, yet desires to attain the exhaustion of defilements and liberation, this is impossible. Why is this? Because of not practicing. What is not practiced? It is not practicing the four foundations of mindfulness, the four right exertions, the four paths to power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven factors of enlightenment, and the noble eightfold path. If a bhikkhu practices the corresponding teachings, even if he does not desire to attain the exhaustion of defilements and liberation, that bhikkhu will naturally exhaust defilements and his mind will be liberated. Why is this? Because of practicing. What is practiced? It is practicing the four foundations of mindfulness, the four right exertions, the four paths to power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven factors of enlightenment, and the noble eightfold path. Just like a hen incubating eggs, properly nurturing the chicks, constantly providing warmth and regulating the temperature, even if she does not want the chicks to break out of their shells themselves, those chicks can conveniently and safely break out of their shells themselves. Why is this? Because the hen incubating eggs constantly provides warmth and regulates the temperature. Similarly, if a bhikkhu properly practices the expedient teachings, even if he does not desire to attain the exhaustion of defilements and liberation, that bhikkhu will naturally exhaust defilements and his mind will be liberated. Why is this? Because of diligent practice. What is practiced? It is practicing the four foundations of mindfulness, the four right exertions, the four paths to power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven factors of enlightenment, and the noble eightfold path. For example, a skilled craftsman or a craftsman's apprentice, holding an axe handle in his hand, constantly gripping it, gradually the handle is worn down, and the place where his fingers grip becomes visible, but he does not feel the handle wearing down, yet the worn place becomes visible. Similarly, a bhikkhu diligently practices the corresponding teachings, not knowing how much defilement is exhausted today, or how much defilement is exhausted tomorrow, but that bhikkhu knows that defilements are being exhausted. Why is this? Because of practicing. What is practiced? It is practicing the four foundations of mindfulness, the four right exertions, the four paths to power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven factors of enlightenment, and the noble eightfold path. For example, a large ship, moored at the seaside, after six months of summer, with wind and sun exposure, the ropes connecting the ship gradually break. Similarly, a bhikkhu diligently practices the corresponding teachings, all bonds, afflictions, and entanglements will gradually be liberated. Why is this? Because of proper practice. What is practiced? It is practicing the four foundations of mindfulness, the four right exertions, the four paths to power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven factors of enlightenment, and the noble eightfold path. When the Buddha spoke this Dharma, sixty bhikkhus were freed from defilements, and their minds were liberated.


佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二六四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,有異比丘于禪中思惟,作是念:「頗有色常、恒、不變易、正住耶?如是受、想、行、識,常、恒、不變易、正住耶?」

是比丘晡時從禪起,往詣佛所,頭面禮足,卻住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我于禪中思惟,作是念:『頗有色常、恒、不變易、正住耶?如是受、想、行、識,常、恒、不變易、正住耶?』今日世尊,頗有色常、恒、不變易、正住耶?頗有受、想、行、識,常、恒、不變易、正住耶?」

爾時,世尊手執小土摶,告彼比丘言:「汝見我手中土摶不?」

比丘白佛:「已見。世尊!」

「比丘!如是少土,我不可得。若我可得者,則是常、恒、不變易、正住法。」

佛告比丘:「我自憶宿命,長夜修福,得諸勝妙可愛果報之事。曾於七年中,修習慈心,經七劫成壞,不還此世。七劫壞時生光音天,七劫成時還生梵世,空宮殿中作大梵王,無勝、無上,領千世界。從是已后,復三十六反,作天帝釋。復百千反,作轉輪聖王,領四天下,正法治化,七寶具足,所謂輪寶、象寶、馬寶、摩尼寶、玉女寶、主藏臣寶、主兵臣寶;千子具足,皆悉勇健;於四海內,其地平正,無諸毒刺,不威、不迫,以法調伏。

「灌頂王法有八萬四千龍象,皆以眾寶莊嚴而挍飾之,寶網覆上,建立寶幢,布薩象王最為導首,朝、晡二時自會殿前

現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地遵照奉行。 現代漢語譯本:如是我聞: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位比丘在禪定中思索,心中想:『是否有色是常住、恒常、不變易、真正存在的呢?同樣的,受、想、行、識,是常住、恒常、不變易、真正存在的嗎?』 現代漢語譯本:這位比丘在傍晚時分從禪定中起身,前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足后,退到一旁站立,對佛陀說:『世尊!我在禪定中思索,心中想:『是否有色是常住、恒常、不變易、真正存在的呢?同樣的,受、想、行、識,是常住、恒常、不變易、真正存在的嗎?』今天請問世尊,是否有色是常住、恒常、不變易、真正存在的呢?是否有受、想、行、識,是常住、恒常、不變易、真正存在的呢?』 現代漢語譯本:這時,世尊手裡拿著一小團泥土,告訴那位比丘說:『你看到我手中的泥土團嗎?』 現代漢語譯本:比丘回答佛陀說:『看到了,世尊!』 現代漢語譯本:『比丘!像這樣少量的泥土,我都無法得到。如果我能得到,那它就是常住、恒常、不變易、真正存在的法了。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴比丘:『我回憶起自己的宿命,長久以來修習福德,得到各種殊勝美妙、令人喜愛的果報。我曾經在七年中修習慈心,經歷了七個劫的成壞,沒有再回到這個世間。七劫壞滅時,我生到光音天;七劫形成時,我又回到梵世,在空曠的宮殿中成為大梵天王,無與倫比,統領千個世界。從那以後,我又三十六次成為天帝釋。又無數次成為轉輪聖王,統治四天下,以正法教化,七寶具足,即輪寶、象寶、馬寶、摩尼寶、玉女寶、主藏臣寶、主兵臣寶;擁有一千個兒子,個個勇猛健壯;在四海之內,土地平坦,沒有毒刺,不以威勢壓迫,而是以法調伏。 現代漢語譯本:『灌頂王法擁有八萬四千頭龍象,都用各種珍寶裝飾,寶網覆蓋其上,豎立著寶幢,布薩象王作為首領,早晚兩次自行來到殿前。

English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. English version: At that time, a certain monk, while meditating, pondered thus: 'Is there any form that is permanent, constant, unchangeable, and truly existing? Likewise, are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness permanent, constant, unchangeable, and truly existing?' English version: This monk, in the late afternoon, arose from meditation, went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to his feet, and stood to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, while meditating, I pondered thus: 'Is there any form that is permanent, constant, unchangeable, and truly existing? Likewise, are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness permanent, constant, unchangeable, and truly existing?' Today, I ask the Venerable Sir, is there any form that is permanent, constant, unchangeable, and truly existing? Is there any feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness that are permanent, constant, unchangeable, and truly existing?' English version: At that time, the World-Honored One, holding a small lump of earth in his hand, said to that monk, 'Do you see this lump of earth in my hand?' English version: The monk replied to the Buddha, 'I see it, Venerable Sir!' English version: 'Monk, even this small amount of earth, I cannot obtain. If I could obtain it, then it would be a dharma that is permanent, constant, unchangeable, and truly existing.' English version: The Buddha said to the monk, 'I recall my past lives, having cultivated merit for a long time, and having obtained various excellent, wonderful, and delightful results. I once practiced loving-kindness for seven years, and through seven cycles of formation and destruction, I did not return to this world. When the seven cycles were destroyed, I was born in the Abhasvara Heaven; when the seven cycles were formed, I returned to the Brahma world, becoming the Great Brahma King in an empty palace, unsurpassed and supreme, ruling over a thousand worlds. After that, I became Indra, the king of the gods, thirty-six times. And countless times, I became a Wheel-Turning Monarch, ruling over the four continents, governing with righteousness, possessing the seven treasures, namely the wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the mani jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the treasurer treasure, and the military commander treasure; possessing a thousand sons, all of whom were brave and strong; within the four seas, the land was flat, without thorns, not oppressing with power, but subduing with the Dharma.' English version: 'The law of the anointed king had eighty-four thousand dragon elephants, all adorned with various jewels, covered with jeweled nets, and with jeweled banners erected. The elephant king, Puspa, was the leader, and would come to the palace twice a day, morning and evening.'

「比丘!此是何等業報,得如是威德自在耶?此是三種業報,云何為三?一者佈施,二者調伏,三者修道

現代漢語譯本:我當時心想:『這些大象成群結隊,每天來回踐踏,殘殺無數生靈,我希望這四萬二千頭大象能百年才來一次。』結果就如我所愿,八萬四千頭大象中,有四萬二千頭百年才來一次。 灌頂王的統治下還有八萬四千匹馬,它們的乘具都是純金打造,並覆蓋著金網,婆羅馬王是它們的領頭。 灌頂王的統治下有八萬四千輛四種寶車,分別是金車、銀車、琉璃車和頗梨車,車上覆蓋著獅子、老虎、豹子的皮毛以及各種顏色的欽婆羅布料,䟦求毗阇耶難提音聲之車是它們的領頭。 灌頂王的統治下有八萬四千座城市,安寧富饒,人民興旺,拘舍婆提城是其中的首府。 灌頂王的統治下有八萬四千座四種宮殿,分別是金殿、銀殿、琉璃殿、頗梨殿和摩尼琉璃殿,由訶殿是其中的首府。 比丘們!灌頂王的統治下有八萬四千張四種寶床,分別是金床、銀床、琉璃床和頗梨床,床上鋪著各種絲綢褥子、毛毯、厚氈和迦陵伽臥具,並放置著丹枕。 此外,比丘們!灌頂王的統治下還有八萬四千件四種衣服,分別是迦尸細布衣、芻摩布衣、頭鳩羅布衣和拘沾婆布衣。 此外,比丘們!灌頂王的統治下有八萬四千名玉女,包括剎利女、類似剎利女,更不用說其他女子了。 此外,比丘們!灌頂王的統治下有八萬四千種飲食,各種美味應有盡有。比丘們!這八萬四千名玉女中,只有一人負責侍奉;八萬四千件寶衣中,只穿一件;八萬四千張寶床中,只睡一張;八萬四千座宮殿中,只住一座;八萬四千座城市中,只住一座,名為拘舍婆提;八萬四千輛寶車中,只乘一輛,名為毗阇耶難提瞿沙,出城遊玩;八萬四千匹寶馬中,只乘一匹,名為婆羅訶,毛尾呈紺色;八萬四千頭龍象中,只乘一頭,名為布薩陀,出城遊玩。 比丘們!這是什麼樣的業報,才能獲得如此威德自在呢?這是三種業報的結果,哪三種呢?一是佈施,二是調伏,三是修道。

English version: At that time, I thought: 『These large groups of elephants come and go daily, trampling and killing countless beings. I wish that these forty-two thousand elephants would only come once every hundred years.』 And as I wished, out of the eighty-four thousand elephants, forty-two thousand came only once every hundred years. Under the rule of the Consecrated King, there were also eighty-four thousand horses, their riding gear made of pure gold and covered with gold nets, with King Bharoma as their leader. Under the rule of the Consecrated King, there were eighty-four thousand four types of precious chariots, namely gold chariots, silver chariots, crystal chariots, and agate chariots, covered with the skins of lions, tigers, and leopards, as well as various colors of Kimpala cloth, with the chariot of Bhikshu Vijayanandi's voice as their leader. Under the rule of the Consecrated King, there were eighty-four thousand cities, peaceful and prosperous, with a thriving population, and the city of Kosavati as their capital. Under the rule of the Consecrated King, there were eighty-four thousand four types of palaces, namely gold palaces, silver palaces, crystal palaces, agate palaces, and mani-crystal palaces, with the palace of Yuha as their capital. Monks! Under the rule of the Consecrated King, there were eighty-four thousand four types of precious beds, namely gold beds, silver beds, crystal beds, and agate beds, covered with various silk mattresses, blankets, thick felt, and Kalinga bedding, and placed with red pillows. Furthermore, monks! Under the rule of the Consecrated King, there were also eighty-four thousand four types of clothing, namely Kashi fine cloth, Chuma cloth, Toukula cloth, and Kujamba cloth. Furthermore, monks! Under the rule of the Consecrated King, there were eighty-four thousand jade maidens, including Kshatriya maidens, those similar to Kshatriya maidens, not to mention other women. Furthermore, monks! Under the rule of the Consecrated King, there were eighty-four thousand kinds of food, with all kinds of delicacies. Monks! Among these eighty-four thousand jade maidens, only one was responsible for serving; among the eighty-four thousand precious garments, only one was worn; among the eighty-four thousand precious beds, only one was slept on; among the eighty-four thousand palaces, only one was lived in; among the eighty-four thousand cities, only one was lived in, named Kosavati; among the eighty-four thousand precious chariots, only one was ridden, named Vijayanandi Gosa, to go out and enjoy the scenery; among the eighty-four thousand precious horses, only one was ridden, named Bharaha, with a dark blue tail; among the eighty-four thousand dragon elephants, only one was ridden, named Pusada, to go out and enjoy the scenery. Monks! What kind of karmic retribution is it that one can obtain such majestic power and freedom? It is the result of three kinds of karmic retribution. What are the three? First, giving; second, taming; and third, cultivating the path.


。比丘當知,凡夫染習五欲,無有厭足,聖人智慧成滿,而常知足。比丘!一切諸行,過去盡滅、過去變易,彼自然眾具及以名稱,皆悉磨滅。是故,比丘!永息諸行,厭離、斷欲、解脫。比丘!色為常?無常?」

佛告比丘:「諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在。如是受、想、行、識,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在。比丘!於色當生厭離、厭、離欲、解脫。如是于受、想、行、識,當生厭、離欲、解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

時,彼比丘聞佛所說,踴躍歡喜,作禮而去

現代漢語譯本:比丘們應當知道,凡夫俗子沉溺於五種慾望,永遠沒有滿足的時候,而聖人智慧圓滿,常常知足。比丘們!一切諸行,過去的已經消滅,過去的已經變化,它們自然形成的器具以及名稱,都全部磨滅。因此,比丘們!應當永遠停止諸行,厭惡、捨棄慾望、解脫。比丘們!色是常久的嗎?還是無常的?' 比丘回答佛說:'是無常的,世尊!' 『如果無常,那麼是痛苦的嗎?』 比丘回答佛說:'是痛苦的,世尊!' 『比丘們!如果無常、痛苦,是會變化的,那麼聖弟子還會認為其中有我、異於我、或與我相關嗎?』 比丘回答佛說:'不會的,世尊!' 『那麼,受、想、行、識,是常久的還是無常的呢?』 比丘回答佛說:'是無常的,世尊!' 『如果無常,那麼是痛苦的嗎?』 比丘回答佛說:'是痛苦的,世尊!' 『比丘們!如果無常、痛苦,是會變化的,那麼聖弟子還會認為其中有我、異於我、或與我相關嗎?』 比丘回答佛說:'不會的,世尊!' 佛告訴比丘們:'所有色,無論是過去的、未來的、現在的,內在的、外在的,粗糙的、細微的,美好的、醜陋的,遙遠的、臨近的,它們都不是我,不異於我,不與我相關。同樣,受、想、行、識,無論是過去的、未來的、現在的,內在的、外在的,粗糙的、細微的,美好的、醜陋的,遙遠的、臨近的,它們都不是我,不異於我,不與我相關。比丘們!對於色應當生起厭惡、厭離、捨棄慾望、解脫。同樣,對於受、想、行、識,應當生起厭惡、捨棄慾望、解脫,解脫后產生知見:『我的生命已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來生。』' 當時,那些比丘聽了佛所說,歡欣鼓舞,行禮后離去。

English version: Monks, you should know that ordinary people are addicted to the five desires and are never satisfied, while the wise sages are full of wisdom and are always content. Monks! All phenomena, the past has ceased, the past has changed, and their natural tools and names have all been obliterated. Therefore, monks! You should forever cease all phenomena, be disgusted, abandon desires, and be liberated. Monks! Is form permanent or impermanent?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'It is impermanent, Venerable One!' 'If it is impermanent, then is it suffering?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'It is suffering, Venerable One!' 'Monks! If it is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, would a noble disciple still consider it to be 'I', different from 'I', or related to 'I'?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'No, Venerable One!' 'Then, are feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness permanent or impermanent?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'They are impermanent, Venerable One!' 'If they are impermanent, then are they suffering?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'They are suffering, Venerable One!' 'Monks! If they are impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, would a noble disciple still consider them to be 'I', different from 'I', or related to 'I'?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'No, Venerable One!' The Buddha told the monks, 'All forms, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, beautiful or ugly, far or near, they are not 'I', not different from 'I', and not related to 'I'. Likewise, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, beautiful or ugly, far or near, they are not 'I', not different from 'I', and not related to 'I'. Monks! You should develop disgust for form, aversion, abandonment of desire, and liberation. Likewise, for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, you should develop disgust, abandonment of desire, and liberation, and after liberation, you will have the knowledge: 'My life is finished, the pure practice has been established, what needed to be done has been done, and I know that there will be no further existence.' At that time, those monks, having heard what the Buddha said, were overjoyed, paid their respects, and departed.


。常念土摶譬教授,獨一靜處,精勤思惟,不放逸住;不放逸住已:「所以善男子剃除鬚髮,正信非家,出家學道,為究竟無上梵行,見法自知身作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

時,彼尊者亦自知法,心得解脫,成阿羅漢。

(二六五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住阿毗陀處恒河側。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如恒河大水暴起,隨流聚沫,明目士夫諦觀分別;諦觀分別時,無所有、無牢、無實、無有堅固。所以者何?彼聚沫中無堅實故。如是諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近。比丘!諦觀思惟分別,無所有、無牢、無實、無有堅固,如病、如癰、如刺、如殺,無常、苦、空、非我。所以者何?色無堅實故。

「諸比丘!譬如大雨水泡,一起一滅,明目士夫諦觀思惟分別;諦觀思惟分別時,無所有、無牢、無實、無有堅固。所以者何?以彼水泡無堅實故。如是,比丘!諸所有受,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近。比丘!諦觀思惟分別。諦觀思惟分別時,無所有、無牢、無實、無有堅固,如病、如癰、如刺、如殺,無常、苦、空、非我。所以者何?以受無堅實故。

「諸比丘!譬如春末夏初,無雲、無雨,日盛中時,野馬流動,明目士夫諦觀思惟分別;諦觀思惟分別時,無所有、無牢、無實、無有堅固。所以者何?以彼野馬無堅實故

現代漢語譯本:他經常思念著像土塊一樣的教授,獨自一人在安靜的地方,精勤地思考,不懈怠地修行;不懈怠地修行后,他這樣想:『所以善男子剃除鬚髮,以真正的信仰離開家庭,出家學道,是爲了最終達到無上的清凈修行,通過自己親身體驗而證悟真理:『我已經了結了生死,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 那時,那位尊者也自己領悟了真理,內心得到解脫,成為阿羅漢。 (二六五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在阿毗陀處的恒河邊。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如恒河大水突然暴漲,隨波逐流的泡沫,明眼人仔細觀察分辨;仔細觀察分辨時,發現它沒有實體、不牢固、不真實、沒有堅固性。為什麼呢?因為那些泡沫中沒有堅實的東西。同樣,所有色法,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細微,無論是美好還是醜陋,無論是遙遠還是臨近。比丘們!仔細觀察思考分辨,它們沒有實體、不牢固、不真實、沒有堅固性,就像疾病、癰瘡、毒刺、殺戮一樣,是無常的、痛苦的、空虛的、非我的。為什麼呢?因為色法沒有堅實性。』 『諸比丘!譬如大雨中的水泡,一會兒出現一會兒消失,明眼人仔細觀察思考分辨;仔細觀察思考分辨時,發現它沒有實體、不牢固、不真實、沒有堅固性。為什麼呢?因為那些水泡沒有堅實的東西。同樣,比丘們!所有感受,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細微,無論是美好還是醜陋,無論是遙遠還是臨近。比丘們!仔細觀察思考分辨。仔細觀察思考分辨時,發現它沒有實體、不牢固、不真實、沒有堅固性,就像疾病、癰瘡、毒刺、殺戮一樣,是無常的、痛苦的、空虛的、非我的。為什麼呢?因為感受沒有堅實性。』 『諸比丘!譬如春末夏初,沒有云、沒有雨,太陽正盛的時候,野馬在流動,明眼人仔細觀察思考分辨;仔細觀察思考分辨時,發現它沒有實體、不牢固、不真實、沒有堅固性。為什麼呢?因為那些野馬沒有堅實的東西。』

English version: He often contemplated the teaching like a lump of earth, dwelling alone in a quiet place, diligently thinking, and not dwelling in negligence; having dwelt without negligence, he thought: 'Therefore, a good man shaves off his hair and beard, with true faith leaves home, and goes forth to learn the Way, in order to ultimately achieve the unsurpassed pure conduct, and through his own experience realize the truth: 'My birth is exhausted, the pure conduct is established, what needs to be done is done, and I know that there will be no future existence.' At that time, that venerable one also realized the truth for himself, his mind was liberated, and he became an Arhat. (265) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling by the Ganges River at the place of Abhidha. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'For example, when the great waters of the Ganges suddenly rise, the foam that flows along with the current, a clear-sighted person carefully observes and distinguishes; when carefully observing and distinguishing, he finds that it has no substance, is not firm, is not real, and has no solidity. Why is that? Because there is nothing solid in that foam. Likewise, all forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether far or near. Monks! Carefully observe, think, and distinguish, they have no substance, are not firm, are not real, and have no solidity, like disease, a boil, a thorn, or killing, they are impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self. Why is that? Because form has no solidity.' 'Monks! For example, like a water bubble in heavy rain, appearing and disappearing, a clear-sighted person carefully observes, thinks, and distinguishes; when carefully observing, thinking, and distinguishing, he finds that it has no substance, is not firm, is not real, and has no solidity. Why is that? Because those water bubbles have nothing solid. Likewise, monks! All feelings, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether far or near. Monks! Carefully observe, think, and distinguish. When carefully observing, thinking, and distinguishing, he finds that it has no substance, is not firm, is not real, and has no solidity, like disease, a boil, a thorn, or killing, they are impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self. Why is that? Because feelings have no solidity.' 'Monks! For example, in late spring and early summer, when there are no clouds and no rain, and the sun is at its peak, the mirage moves, a clear-sighted person carefully observes, thinks, and distinguishes; when carefully observing, thinking, and distinguishing, he finds that it has no substance, is not firm, is not real, and has no solidity. Why is that? Because those mirages have nothing solid.'


。如是,比丘!諸所有想,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近。比丘!諦觀思惟分別。諦觀思惟分別時,無所有、無牢、無實、無有堅固,如病、如癰、如刺、如殺,無常、苦、空、非我。所以者何?以想無堅實故。

「諸比丘!譬如明目士夫求堅固材,執持利斧,入于山林,見大芭蕉樹,𦟛直長大,即伐其根,斬截其峰,葉葉次剝,都無堅實,諦觀思惟分別。諦觀思惟分別時,無所有、無牢、無實、無有堅固。所以者何?以彼芭蕉無堅實故。如是,比丘!諸所有行,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近。比丘!諦觀思惟分別。諦觀思惟分別時,無所有、無牢、無實、無有堅固,如病、如癰、如刺、如殺,無常、苦、空、非我。所以者何?以彼諸行無堅實故。

「諸比丘!譬如幻師、若幻師弟子,於四衢道頭,幻作象兵、馬兵、車兵、步兵,有智明目士夫諦觀思惟分別;諦觀思惟分別時,無所有、無牢、無實、無有堅固。所以者何?以彼幻無堅實故。如是,比丘!諸所有識,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近。比丘!諦觀思惟分別,諦觀思惟分別時,無所有、無牢、無實、無有堅固,如病、如癰、如刺、如殺,無常、苦、空、非我。所以者何?以識無堅實故。」

爾時,世尊欲重宣此義,而說偈言:

「觀色如聚沫,  受如水上泡,  想如春時焰,  諸行如芭蕉,  諸識法如幻,  日種姓尊說

現代漢語譯本: 『比丘們!所有想,無論是過去的、未來的、現在的,還是內在的、外在的,粗糙的、細微的,美好的、醜陋的,遙遠的、近處的,比丘們,你們都要仔細觀察、思考、分辨。當你們仔細觀察、思考、分辨時,會發現它們都是空無所有、不牢固、不真實、沒有堅固性的,如同疾病、癰瘡、毒刺、殺戮一般,是無常的、痛苦的、空虛的、非自我的。這是為什麼呢?因為想本身沒有堅實的本質。』 『比丘們!譬如一個視力良好的人爲了尋找堅固的木材,拿著鋒利的斧頭進入山林,看到一棵高大筆直的芭蕉樹,便砍斷它的根部,削去它的頂端,一層層地剝開它的葉子,結果發現它根本沒有堅實的內核。當他仔細觀察、思考、分辨時,會發現它也是空無所有、不牢固、不真實、沒有堅固性的。這是為什麼呢?因為芭蕉樹本身沒有堅實的內核。同樣地,比丘們!所有行,無論是過去的、未來的、現在的,還是內在的、外在的,粗糙的、細微的,美好的、醜陋的,遙遠的、近處的,比丘們,你們都要仔細觀察、思考、分辨。當你們仔細觀察、思考、分辨時,會發現它們都是空無所有、不牢固、不真實、沒有堅固性的,如同疾病、癰瘡、毒刺、殺戮一般,是無常的、痛苦的、空虛的、非自我的。這是為什麼呢?因為這些行本身沒有堅實的本質。』 『比丘們!譬如一個魔術師或者魔術師的弟子,在十字路口變幻出象兵、馬兵、車兵、步兵,一個有智慧、視力良好的人仔細觀察、思考、分辨;當他仔細觀察、思考、分辨時,會發現它們都是空無所有、不牢固、不真實、沒有堅固性的。這是為什麼呢?因為這些幻象本身沒有堅實的本質。同樣地,比丘們!所有識,無論是過去的、未來的、現在的,還是內在的、外在的,粗糙的、細微的,美好的、醜陋的,遙遠的、近處的,比丘們,你們都要仔細觀察、思考、分辨。當你們仔細觀察、思考、分辨時,會發現它們都是空無所有、不牢固、不真實、沒有堅固性的,如同疾病、癰瘡、毒刺、殺戮一般,是無常的、痛苦的、空虛的、非自我的。這是為什麼呢?因為識本身沒有堅實的本質。』 那時,世尊爲了重申這個道理,說了偈語: 『觀察色法如泡沫聚,感受如水上浮泡, 想如春日裡的陽焰,諸行如芭蕉樹幹, 諸識之法如幻象,這是日種姓的尊者所說。』

English version: 'Monks! All perceptions, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, good or bad, far or near, monks, you should carefully observe, contemplate, and discern them. When you carefully observe, contemplate, and discern them, you will find that they are all empty, unstable, unreal, and without solidity, like a disease, a boil, a thorn, or a killing, impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self. Why is this? Because perception itself has no solid essence.' 'Monks! Suppose a man with good eyesight, seeking solid wood, takes a sharp axe and enters a forest. He sees a tall, straight banana tree, cuts its root, chops off its top, and peels off its leaves layer by layer. He finds that it has no solid core. When he carefully observes, contemplates, and discerns it, he finds that it is also empty, unstable, unreal, and without solidity. Why is this? Because the banana tree itself has no solid core. Similarly, monks! All formations, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, good or bad, far or near, monks, you should carefully observe, contemplate, and discern them. When you carefully observe, contemplate, and discern them, you will find that they are all empty, unstable, unreal, and without solidity, like a disease, a boil, a thorn, or a killing, impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self. Why is this? Because these formations themselves have no solid essence.' 'Monks! Suppose a magician or a magician's apprentice, at a crossroads, conjures up elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry troops. A wise man with good eyesight carefully observes, contemplates, and discerns them. When he carefully observes, contemplates, and discerns them, he finds that they are all empty, unstable, unreal, and without solidity. Why is this? Because these illusions themselves have no solid essence. Similarly, monks! All consciousness, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, good or bad, far or near, monks, you should carefully observe, contemplate, and discern them. When you carefully observe, contemplate, and discern them, you will find that they are all empty, unstable, unreal, and without solidity, like a disease, a boil, a thorn, or a killing, impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self. Why is this? Because consciousness itself has no solid essence.' Then, the World Honored One, wishing to reiterate this meaning, spoke these verses: 'Observe form as a mass of foam, feeling as a bubble on water, Perception as a mirage in spring, formations as a banana tree trunk, The nature of consciousness as an illusion, this is what the Venerable of the Sun lineage has said.'


。  周匝諦思惟,  正念善觀察,  無實不堅固,  無有我我所。  於此苦陰身,  大智分別說,  離於三法者,  身為成棄物,  壽暖及諸識,  離此余身份,  永棄丘冢間,  如木無識想。  此身常如是,  幻為誘愚夫。  如殺如毒刺,  無有堅固者。  比丘勤修習,  觀察此陰身,  晝夜常專精,  正智繫念住,  有為行長息,  永得清涼處。」

時,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二六六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,佛告諸比丘:「于無始生死,無明所蓋,愛結所繫,長夜輪迴,不知苦之本際;有時長久不雨,地之所生百穀草木,皆悉枯乾。諸比丘!若無明所蓋,愛結所繫,眾生生死輪迴,愛結不斷,不盡苦邊。諸比丘!有時長夜不雨,大海水悉皆枯竭。諸比丘!無明所蓋,愛結所繫,眾生生死輪迴,愛結不斷,不盡苦邊。諸比丘!有時長夜須彌山王皆悉崩落,無明所蓋,愛結所繫,眾生長夜生死輪迴,愛結不斷,不盡苦邊。諸比丘!有時長夜此大地悉皆敗壞,而眾生無明所蓋,愛結所繫,眾生長夜生死輪迴,愛結不斷,不盡苦邊。

「比丘!譬如狗子系柱,彼系不斷,長夜繞柱,輪迴而轉。如是,比丘!愚夫眾生不如實知色、色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離,長夜輪迴,順色而轉。如是不如實知受、想、行、識、識集、識滅、識味、識患、識離,長夜輪迴,順識而轉。諸比丘!隨色轉、隨受轉、隨想轉、隨行轉、隨識轉

現代漢語譯本:

『應當周全地仔細思考,以正念善加觀察,這身體沒有真實,不堅固,沒有『我』和『我的』。 對於這充滿痛苦的五蘊之身,以大智慧來分別解說,當它脫離了地、水、火這三法,身體就成了被拋棄之物。 當壽命、溫暖和各種意識都離開后,剩下的身體部分,就會被永遠地拋棄在墳墓之間,如同木頭一樣沒有知覺和思想。 這身體常常如此,像幻象一樣引誘愚笨的人。 它像殺手,像毒刺,沒有什麼是堅固的。 比丘應當勤奮地修行,觀察這五蘊之身,日夜都要專心致志,以正智繫念於此。 當有為的活動停止時,就能永遠得到清涼的境界。』

當時,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(二六六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,佛陀告訴眾比丘:『在無始的生死輪迴中,被無明所覆蓋,被愛慾的束縛所繫,長久地在輪迴中流轉,不知道痛苦的根本原因;有時長久不下雨,地上所生長的各種穀物草木,都會全部枯乾。 諸位比丘!如果被無明所覆蓋,被愛慾的束縛所繫,眾生的生死輪迴,愛慾的束縛不斷,就無法到達痛苦的盡頭。 諸位比丘!有時長久不下雨,大海的水都會全部枯竭。 諸位比丘!被無明所覆蓋,被愛慾的束縛所繫,眾生的生死輪迴,愛慾的束縛不斷,就無法到達痛苦的盡頭。 諸位比丘!有時長久須彌山王都會全部崩塌,被無明所覆蓋,被愛慾的束縛所繫,眾生在長久的生死輪迴中,愛慾的束縛不斷,就無法到達痛苦的盡頭。 諸位比丘!有時長久這大地都會全部敗壞,而眾生被無明所覆蓋,被愛慾的束縛所繫,眾生在長久的生死輪迴中,愛慾的束縛不斷,就無法到達痛苦的盡頭。

『比丘!譬如小狗被拴在柱子上,那繩子沒有斷開,它就會長久地繞著柱子,輪迴轉動。 同樣,比丘!愚癡的眾生不能如實地知道色、色的生起、色的滅亡、色的樂味、色的過患、色的離去,就會長久地在輪迴中,順著色而轉。 同樣,不能如實地知道受、想、行、識、識的生起、識的滅亡、識的樂味、識的過患、識的離去,就會長久地在輪迴中,順著識而轉。 諸位比丘!隨著色轉、隨著受轉、隨著想轉、隨著行轉、隨著識轉,』 現代漢語譯本:

English version:

'One should thoroughly contemplate, with right mindfulness and careful observation, that this body is not real, not firm, and has no 'I' or 'mine'. Regarding this body of suffering, composed of the five aggregates, with great wisdom, it is explained that when it is separated from the three elements of earth, water, and fire, the body becomes a discarded object. When life, warmth, and various consciousnesses depart, the remaining parts of the body will be forever abandoned in the graveyard, like wood without sensation or thought. This body is always like this, like an illusion that lures the foolish. It is like a killer, like a poisonous thorn, nothing about it is firm. A bhikkhu should diligently practice, observing this body of the five aggregates, day and night with focused attention, with right wisdom dwelling in mindfulness. When conditioned activities cease, one can attain the state of coolness forever.'

At that time, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(266)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Buddha said to the bhikkhus: 'In the beginningless cycle of birth and death, covered by ignorance and bound by the knot of craving, beings have long wandered in samsara, not knowing the root cause of suffering; sometimes there is no rain for a long time, and all the grains and plants that grow on the earth wither and dry up. Bhikkhus! If covered by ignorance and bound by the knot of craving, the cycle of birth and death for beings, with the knot of craving unbroken, will not reach the end of suffering. Bhikkhus! Sometimes there is no rain for a long time, and the water of the great ocean will completely dry up. Bhikkhus! Covered by ignorance and bound by the knot of craving, the cycle of birth and death for beings, with the knot of craving unbroken, will not reach the end of suffering. Bhikkhus! Sometimes the great Mount Sumeru will completely collapse, covered by ignorance and bound by the knot of craving, beings in the long cycle of birth and death, with the knot of craving unbroken, will not reach the end of suffering. Bhikkhus! Sometimes this great earth will completely decay, and beings, covered by ignorance and bound by the knot of craving, in the long cycle of birth and death, with the knot of craving unbroken, will not reach the end of suffering.

'Bhikkhus! It is like a puppy tied to a post; if the rope is not broken, it will long circle around the post, revolving in samsara. Likewise, bhikkhus! Foolish beings, not truly knowing form, the arising of form, the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form, will long revolve in samsara, following form. Likewise, not truly knowing feeling, perception, mental formations, consciousness, the arising of consciousness, the cessation of consciousness, the gratification of consciousness, the danger of consciousness, and the escape from consciousness, will long revolve in samsara, following consciousness. Bhikkhus! Following form, following feeling, following perception, following mental formations, following consciousness,' English version:

'One should thoroughly contemplate, with right mindfulness and careful observation, that this body is not real, not firm, and has no 'I' or 'mine'.

Bhikkhus! If covered by ignorance and bound by the knot of craving, the cycle of birth and death for beings, with the knot of craving unbroken, will not reach the end of suffering. Bhikkhus! Sometimes there is no rain for a long time, and the water of the great ocean will completely dry up. Bhikkhus! Covered by ignorance and bound by the knot of craving, the cycle of birth and death for beings, with the knot of craving unbroken, will not reach the end of suffering. Bhikkhus! Sometimes the great Mount Sumeru will completely collapse, covered by ignorance and bound by the knot of craving, beings in the long cycle of birth and death, with the knot of craving unbroken, will not reach the end of suffering. Bhikkhus! Sometimes this great earth will completely decay, and beings, covered by ignorance and bound by the knot of craving, in the long cycle of birth and death, with the knot of craving unbroken, will not reach the end of suffering.

'Bhikkhus! It is like a puppy tied to a post; if the rope is not broken, it will long circle around the post, revolving in samsara. Likewise, bhikkhus! Foolish beings, not truly knowing form, the arising of form, the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form, will long revolve in samsara, following form. Likewise, not truly knowing feeling, perception, mental formations, consciousness, the arising of consciousness, the cessation of consciousness, the gratification of consciousness, the danger of consciousness, and the escape from consciousness, will long revolve in samsara, following consciousness. Bhikkhus! Following form, following feeling, following perception, following mental formations, following consciousness,'


。隨色轉故,不脫於色,隨受、想、行、識轉故,不脫于識。以不脫故,不脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。多聞聖弟子如實知色、色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離,如實知受、想、行、識、識集、識滅、識味、識患、識離故,不隨識轉。不隨轉故,脫於色,脫于受、想、行、識,我說脫于生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。」

佛說此經已。時,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二六七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「眾生於無始生死,無明所蓋,愛結所繫,長夜輪迴生死,不知苦際。諸比丘!譬如狗繩繫著柱,結系不斷故,順柱而轉,若住、若臥,不離於柱。如是凡愚眾生,於色不離貪慾、不離愛、不離念、不離渴、輪迴於色,隨色轉,若住、若臥,不離於色。如是受、想、行、識,隨受、想、行、識轉,若住、若臥不離於識。

「諸比丘!當善思惟觀察於心。所以者何?長夜心為貪慾使染,瞋恚、愚癡使染故。比丘!心惱故眾生惱,心凈故眾生凈。比丘!我不見一色種種如斑色鳥,心復過是。所以者何?彼畜生心種種故,色種種。

「是故,比丘!當善思惟觀察於心。諸比丘!長夜心貪慾所染,瞋恚、愚癡所染,心惱故眾生惱,心凈故眾生凈。比丘當知,汝見嗟蘭那鳥種種雜色不?」

答言:「曾見。世尊!」

佛告比丘:「如嗟蘭那鳥種種雜色,我說彼心種種雜亦復如是。所以者何?彼嗟蘭那鳥心種種故其色種種

現代漢語譯本:因為隨著色塵的轉變,所以不能脫離色塵;因為隨著感受、思想、行為、意識的轉變,所以不能脫離意識。因為不能脫離,所以不能脫離生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、苦惱、痛苦。多聞的聖弟子如實地知道色塵的生起、色塵的集結、色塵的滅盡、色塵的樂味、色塵的禍患、色塵的離散;如實地知道感受、思想、行為、意識的生起、意識的集結、意識的滅盡、意識的樂味、意識的禍患、意識的離散,所以不隨著意識轉變。因為不隨著轉變,所以脫離色塵,脫離感受、思想、行為、意識,我說脫離了生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、苦惱、痛苦。 佛陀說完這部經后,當時,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二六七) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『眾生在無始的生死輪迴中,被無明所覆蓋,被愛慾的束縛所繫,長久地在生死中輪迴,不知道苦的盡頭。諸位比丘!譬如狗被繩子繫在柱子上,因為繩結沒有斷開,所以它會順著柱子轉動,無論是站著還是躺著,都不能離開柱子。同樣,凡夫愚癡的眾生,對於色塵不能離開貪慾、不能離開愛、不能離開念想、不能離開渴求,在色塵中輪迴,隨著色塵轉變,無論是站著還是躺著,都不能離開色塵。對於感受、思想、行為、意識也是如此,隨著感受、思想、行為、意識轉變,無論是站著還是躺著,都不能離開意識。』 『諸位比丘!應當好好地思考觀察自己的心。為什麼呢?因為長久以來,心被貪慾所污染,被嗔恚、愚癡所污染。比丘!心煩惱,眾生就煩惱;心清凈,眾生就清凈。比丘!我沒有見過一種顏色像斑色鳥那樣多種多樣,而心比它更甚。為什麼呢?因為那些畜生的心是多種多樣的,所以顏色也是多種多樣的。』 『所以,比丘!應當好好地思考觀察自己的心。諸位比丘!長久以來,心被貪慾所污染,被嗔恚、愚癡所污染,心煩惱,眾生就煩惱;心清凈,眾生就清凈。比丘應當知道,你們見過嗟蘭那鳥的各種雜色嗎?』 回答說:『曾經見過,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘:『就像嗟蘭那鳥的各種雜色一樣,我說它們的心也是各種雜亂的。為什麼呢?因為嗟蘭那鳥的心是多種多樣的,所以它們的顏色也是多種多樣的。』

English version: Because it changes with form, it does not detach from form; because it changes with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, it does not detach from consciousness. Because it does not detach, it does not detach from birth, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress. A well-taught noble disciple truly knows the arising of form, the gathering of form, the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form; truly knows the arising of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, the gathering of consciousness, the cessation of consciousness, the gratification of consciousness, the danger of consciousness, and the escape from consciousness, therefore, does not change with consciousness. Because it does not change with it, it detaches from form, detaches from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. I say it detaches from birth, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress. Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. (Two hundred and sixty-seven) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'Beings, in beginningless samsara, are covered by ignorance, bound by the fetter of craving, and wander in samsara for a long time, not knowing the end of suffering. Monks! Just as a dog is tied to a post with a rope, and because the knot is not broken, it turns around the post, whether standing or lying down, it does not leave the post. Likewise, foolish ordinary beings, with regard to form, do not leave greed, do not leave love, do not leave thought, do not leave thirst, wander in form, change with form, whether standing or lying down, they do not leave form. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness; they change with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, whether standing or lying down, they do not leave consciousness.' 'Monks! You should carefully contemplate and observe your own mind. Why is that? Because for a long time, the mind has been stained by the defilement of greed, stained by anger and delusion. Monks! When the mind is troubled, beings are troubled; when the mind is pure, beings are pure. Monks! I have not seen a color as varied as that of a speckled bird, and the mind is even more so. Why is that? Because the minds of those animals are varied, so their colors are varied.' 'Therefore, monks! You should carefully contemplate and observe your own mind. Monks! For a long time, the mind has been stained by the defilement of greed, stained by anger and delusion. When the mind is troubled, beings are troubled; when the mind is pure, beings are pure. Monks, you should know, have you seen the various colors of the Jaranana bird?' They replied: 'Yes, we have seen them, Blessed One!' The Buddha told the monks: 'Just as the Jaranana bird has various colors, I say that their minds are also various and confused. Why is that? Because the minds of the Jaranana bird are varied, so their colors are varied.'


。是故,當善觀察思惟於心,長夜種種貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡所染,心惱故眾生惱,心凈故眾生凈。

譬如畫師、畫師弟子,善治素地,具眾彩色,隨意圖畫種種像類。

「如是,比丘!凡愚眾生不如實知色、色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離,於色不如實知故,樂著於色;樂著色故,復生未來諸色。如是凡愚不如實知受、想、行、識、識集、識滅、識味、識患、識離。不如實知故,樂著于識;樂著識故,復生未來諸識。當生未來色、受、想、行、識故,於色不解脫,受、想、行、識不解脫,我說彼不解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。

「有多聞聖弟子如實知色、色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離。如實知故,不樂著於色;以不樂著故,不生未來色。如實知受、想、行、識、識集、識滅、識味、識患、識離。如實知故,不染著于識;不樂著故,不生未來諸識。不樂著於色、受、想、行、識故,於色得解脫,受、想、行、識得解脫,我說彼等解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。」

佛說此經已,時諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二六八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如河水從山澗出,彼水深駛,其流激注,多所漂沒。其河兩岸,生雜草木,大水所偃,順靡水邊,眾人涉渡,多為水所漂,隨流沒溺,遇浪近岸,手援草木,草木復斷,還隨水漂。

「如是,比丘!若凡愚眾生不如實知色、色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離,不如實知故,樂著於色,言色是我,彼色隨斷

現代漢語譯本:因此,應當好好觀察和思考內心,長久以來被各種貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡所污染,內心煩惱所以眾生煩惱,內心清凈所以眾生清凈。 譬如畫師或畫師的弟子,善於處理畫布,備好各種顏色,隨意描繪各種形象。 『同樣,比丘們!凡夫俗子不能如實地瞭解色、色的生起、色的滅盡、色的滋味、色的過患、色的離去,因為不如實瞭解色,所以貪戀執著於色;因為貪戀執著於色,所以又產生未來的各種色。同樣,凡夫俗子不能如實地瞭解受、想、行、識、識的生起、識的滅盡、識的滋味、識的過患、識的離去。因為不如實瞭解識,所以貪戀執著于識;因為貪戀執著于識,所以又產生未來的各種識。當未來色、受、想、行、識產生時,對於色就不能解脫,對於受、想、行、識也不能解脫,我說他們不能解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。 『有多聞的聖弟子如實地瞭解色、色的生起、色的滅盡、色的滋味、色的過患、色的離去。因為如實瞭解,所以不貪戀執著於色;因為不貪戀執著於色,所以不產生未來的色。如實地瞭解受、想、行、識、識的生起、識的滅盡、識的滋味、識的過患、識的離去。因為如實瞭解,所以不染著于識;因為不貪戀執著,所以不產生未來的各種識。因為不貪戀執著於色、受、想、行、識,所以對於色得到解脫,對於受、想、行、識得到解脫,我說他們解脫了生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (二六八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如河水從山澗流出,那水又深又急,水流湍急,沖走很多東西。河的兩岸,生長著各種雜草樹木,被大水沖倒,順著水邊倒伏,人們涉水過河,大多被水沖走,隨著水流沉沒,遇到浪潮靠近岸邊,伸手抓住草木,草木又斷裂,還是隨著水漂流。 『同樣,比丘們!如果凡夫俗子不能如實地瞭解色、色的生起、色的滅盡、色的滋味、色的過患、色的離去,因為不如實瞭解,所以貪戀執著於色,說色是我,那色隨著斷滅』

English version: Therefore, one should carefully observe and contemplate the mind, which has long been tainted by various forms of greed, hatred, and delusion. When the mind is troubled, beings are troubled; when the mind is pure, beings are pure. It is like a painter or a painter's apprentice who skillfully prepares the canvas, has all sorts of colors, and freely paints various images. 'Likewise, monks! Ordinary beings do not truly understand form, the arising of form, the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form. Because they do not truly understand form, they are attached to it; because they are attached to form, they generate future forms. Similarly, ordinary beings do not truly understand feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, the arising of consciousness, the cessation of consciousness, the gratification of consciousness, the danger of consciousness, and the escape from consciousness. Because they do not truly understand consciousness, they are attached to it; because they are attached to consciousness, they generate future consciousnesses. When future form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness arise, they are not liberated from form, nor are they liberated from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. I say that they are not liberated from birth, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress.' 'But a well-learned noble disciple truly understands form, the arising of form, the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form. Because they truly understand, they are not attached to form; because they are not attached to form, they do not generate future forms. They truly understand feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, the arising of consciousness, the cessation of consciousness, the gratification of consciousness, the danger of consciousness, and the escape from consciousness. Because they truly understand, they are not attached to consciousness; because they are not attached, they do not generate future consciousnesses. Because they are not attached to form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, they are liberated from form, and they are liberated from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. I say that they are liberated from birth, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in the Buddha's words and practiced accordingly. (268) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'Monks, it is like a river flowing from a mountain ravine. The water is deep and swift, its current is turbulent, and it sweeps away many things. On both banks of the river, various grasses and trees grow, which are bent over by the great water, leaning towards the water's edge. When people try to cross the river, many are swept away by the water, sinking with the current. When they encounter a wave near the shore, they reach out to grasp the grasses and trees, but the grasses and trees break, and they are carried away by the water again.' 'Likewise, monks! If ordinary beings do not truly understand form, the arising of form, the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form, because they do not truly understand, they are attached to form, saying that form is 'I,' and that form is subject to cessation.'


。如是不如實知受、想、行、識、識集、識滅、識味、識患、識離,不如實知故,樂著于識,言識是我,識復隨斷。

「若多聞聖弟子如實知色、色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離,如實知故,不樂著於色。如實知受、想、行、識、識集、識滅、識味、識患、識離,如實知故,不樂著識,不樂著故。如是自知,得般涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,時諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二六九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「非汝所應法,當盡舍離,舍彼法已,長夜安樂。比丘!何等法非汝所應,當速舍離,如是色、受、想、行、識,非汝所應,當盡舍離,斷彼法已,長夜安樂。譬如祇桓林中樹木,有人斫伐枝條,擔持而去,汝等亦不憂戚。所以者何?以彼樹木非我、非我所。

「如是,比丘!非汝所應者,當盡舍離,舍離已,長夜安樂。何等非汝所應,色非汝所應,當盡舍離,舍離已,長夜安樂。如是受、想、行、識,非汝所應,當速舍離,舍彼法已,長夜安樂。諸比丘!色為常耶?為無常耶?」

諸比丘白佛言:「無常。世尊!」

「比丘!無常者,為是苦耶?」

答言:「是苦。世尊!」

佛告比丘:「若無常、苦,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于中見有我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

「如是受、想、行、識為是常耶?無常耶?」

答言:「無常

現代漢語譯本:如果不能如實地瞭解感受、思想、行為、意識,以及意識的產生、滅亡、樂趣、禍患和解脫,因為不能如實瞭解,就會執著于意識,認為意識是『我』,意識還會隨之斷滅。 如果多聞的聖弟子如實地瞭解色(物質)、色的產生、滅亡、樂趣、禍患和解脫,因為如實瞭解,就不會執著於色。如實地瞭解感受、思想、行為、意識,以及意識的產生、滅亡、樂趣、禍患和解脫,因為如實瞭解,就不會執著于意識,不執著就不會有煩惱。這樣自己就能知道,已經證得涅槃:『我的生命已經結束,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (二六九) 我聽到的是這樣的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『不是你們應該擁有的法,都應當捨棄,捨棄那些法后,就能長久安樂。比丘們!哪些法不是你們應該擁有的,應當儘快捨棄呢?就像色(物質)、感受、思想、行為、意識,這些不是你們應該擁有的,都應當捨棄,斷除這些法后,就能長久安樂。譬如祇桓林中的樹木,有人砍伐枝條,挑著走了,你們也不會憂愁。為什麼呢?因為那些樹木不是我的,也不是屬於我的。』 『同樣,比丘們!不是你們應該擁有的,都應當捨棄,捨棄后,就能長久安樂。哪些不是你們應該擁有的呢?色(物質)不是你們應該擁有的,都應當捨棄,捨棄后,就能長久安樂。同樣,感受、思想、行為、意識,這些不是你們應該擁有的,都應當儘快捨棄,捨棄這些法后,就能長久安樂。諸位比丘!色是常住的嗎?還是無常的呢?』 眾比丘回答佛陀說:『是無常的,世尊!』 『比丘們!無常的東西,是苦嗎?』 回答說:『是苦,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『如果無常、是苦,是會變化的法,多聞的聖弟子會在其中看到有『我』、『異於我』、『存在於我之中』嗎?』 回答說:『不會的,世尊!』 『那麼,感受、思想、行為、意識是常住的嗎?還是無常的呢?』 回答說:『是無常的。』

English version: If one does not truly understand feeling, thought, action, consciousness, the arising of consciousness, the cessation of consciousness, the gratification of consciousness, the danger of consciousness, and the escape from consciousness, then because of this lack of true understanding, one becomes attached to consciousness, thinking that consciousness is 'I,' and that consciousness will be annihilated. If a well-learned noble disciple truly understands form, the arising of form, the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form, then because of this true understanding, one does not become attached to form. If one truly understands feeling, thought, action, consciousness, the arising of consciousness, the cessation of consciousness, the gratification of consciousness, the danger of consciousness, and the escape from consciousness, then because of this true understanding, one does not become attached to consciousness, and because of this lack of attachment, one is free from suffering. Thus, one knows for oneself that one has attained Nirvana: 'My birth is finished, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, and I know for myself that there will be no further existence.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (269) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'Those things that are not yours, you should completely abandon. Having abandoned those things, you will dwell in happiness for a long time. Monks! What things are not yours, that you should quickly abandon? Such as form, feeling, thought, action, and consciousness, these are not yours, you should completely abandon them. Having abandoned these things, you will dwell in happiness for a long time. Just as the trees in the Jeta Grove, if someone were to cut off their branches and carry them away, you would not be worried. Why is that? Because those trees are not mine, nor do they belong to me.' 'Likewise, monks! Those things that are not yours, you should completely abandon. Having abandoned them, you will dwell in happiness for a long time. What is not yours? Form is not yours, you should completely abandon it. Having abandoned it, you will dwell in happiness for a long time. Similarly, feeling, thought, action, and consciousness are not yours, you should quickly abandon them. Having abandoned these things, you will dwell in happiness for a long time. Monks! Is form permanent or impermanent?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'Impermanent, Blessed One!' 'Monks! If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' They replied: 'It is suffering, Blessed One!' The Buddha told the monks: 'If it is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, would a well-learned noble disciple see in it 'I,' 'belonging to I,' or 'existing within I'?' They replied: 'No, Blessed One!' 'Then, are feeling, thought, action, and consciousness permanent or impermanent?' They replied: 'Impermanent.'


。世尊!」

「比丘!若無常者,是苦耶?」

答言:「是苦。世尊!」

佛告比丘:「若無常、苦,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于中見有我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

「比丘!是故諸所有色,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在。如是受、想、行、識,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在,聖弟子觀此五受陰非我、我所。如是觀時,于諸世間無所取著;無所取著者,自得涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,時諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二七〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「無常想修習多修習,能斷一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉、慢、無明。譬如田夫,于夏末秋初深耕其地,發荄斷草。如是,比丘!無常想修習多修習,能斷一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉、慢、無明。

「譬如,比丘!如人刈草,手攬其端,舉而抖擻,萎枯悉落,取其長者。如是,比丘!無常想修習多修習,能斷一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉、慢、無明。

「譬如庵羅果著樹,猛風搖條,果悉墮落。如是,無常想修習多修習,能斷一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉、慢、無明。

「譬如樓閣,中心堅固,眾材所依,攝受不散

「世尊!」 「比丘!如果無常,那是苦嗎?」 回答說:「是苦。世尊!」 佛告訴比丘:「如果無常、是苦,是變易之法,多聞的聖弟子難道會認為其中有我、異於我、或與我相關聯嗎?」 回答說:「不會的,世尊!」 「比丘!因此,所有色,無論是過去、未來、現在,內在、外在,粗糙、細微,美好、醜陋,遙遠、臨近,這一切都不是我,不異於我,不與我相關聯。同樣,受、想、行、識,無論是過去、未來、現在,內在、外在,粗糙、細微,美好、醜陋,遙遠、臨近,這一切都不是我,不異於我,不與我相關聯。聖弟子觀察這五蘊,認為它們不是我,也不是我所擁有的。這樣觀察時,對於世間的一切就不會執著;不執著的人,自然就能得到涅槃:『我的生命已經結束,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』」 佛說完這部經后,當時的比丘們聽了佛所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (二七〇) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:「修習並多次修習無常想,能夠斷除一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉舉、慢心、無明。譬如農夫,在夏末秋初深耕土地,拔除草根。同樣,比丘!修習並多次修習無常想,能夠斷除一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉舉、慢心、無明。 「譬如,比丘!如同有人割草,用手抓住草的末端,舉起來抖動,枯萎的草葉都會掉落,只留下長草。同樣,比丘!修習並多次修習無常想,能夠斷除一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉舉、慢心、無明。 「譬如庵羅果長在樹上,猛烈的風搖動樹枝,果實都會掉落。同樣,修習並多次修習無常想,能夠斷除一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉舉、慢心、無明。 「譬如樓閣,中心堅固,各種材料依靠它,聚集在一起不會散開。

'Venerable Sir!' 'Monks! If something is impermanent, is it suffering?' They replied, 'It is suffering, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha told the monks, 'If something is impermanent and suffering, and is subject to change, would a well-taught noble disciple consider it to be 'I,' 'mine,' or 'related to me'?' They replied, 'No, Venerable Sir!' 'Monks! Therefore, all forms, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, beautiful or ugly, far or near, all of them are not 'I,' not 'mine,' and not 'related to me.' Likewise, feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and consciousness, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, coarse or fine, beautiful or ugly, far or near, all of them are not 'I,' not 'mine,' and not 'related to me.' A noble disciple, observing these five aggregates, sees them as not 'I' and not 'belonging to me.' When observing in this way, they are not attached to anything in the world; and by not being attached, they attain Nirvana: 'Birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, and there is no more future existence.' After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the monks were delighted and practiced accordingly. (270) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, 'Monks, the development and frequent practice of the perception of impermanence can eliminate all sensual desire, desire for form, desire for formlessness, restlessness, conceit, and ignorance. Just as a farmer, in late summer or early autumn, deeply plows the land, uprooting weeds, so too, monks, the development and frequent practice of the perception of impermanence can eliminate all sensual desire, desire for form, desire for formlessness, restlessness, conceit, and ignorance.' 'Monks, just as when someone cuts grass, grasps the end of it, lifts it up and shakes it, the withered leaves fall off, and only the long grass remains. Similarly, monks, the development and frequent practice of the perception of impermanence can eliminate all sensual desire, desire for form, desire for formlessness, restlessness, conceit, and ignorance.' 'Monks, just as when mangoes are on a tree, a strong wind shakes the branches, and the fruits fall off. Similarly, the development and frequent practice of the perception of impermanence can eliminate all sensual desire, desire for form, desire for formlessness, restlessness, conceit, and ignorance.' 'Monks, just as a building, with a strong central structure, where various materials rely on it, and are held together and do not scatter.'


。如是,無常想修習多修習,能斷一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉、慢、無明。

「譬如一切眾生跡,像跡為大,能攝受故。如是,無常想修習多修習,能斷一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉、慢、無明。

「譬如閻浮提一切諸河,悉赴大海,其大海者,最為第一,悉攝受故。如是,無常想修習多修習,能斷一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉、慢、無明。

「譬如日出,能除一切世間闇冥。如是,無常想修習多修習,能斷一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉、慢、無明。

「譬如轉輪聖王,于諸小王最上、最勝。如是,無常想修習多修習,能斷一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉、慢、無明。

「諸比丘!云何修無常想,修習多修習,能斷一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉、慢、無明?若比丘于空露地、若林樹間,善正思惟,觀察色無常,受、想、行、識無常。如是思惟,斷一切欲愛、色愛、無色愛、掉、慢、無明。所以者何?無常想者,能建立無我想,聖弟子住無我想,心離我慢,順得涅槃。」

佛說是經已,時,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二七一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,有比丘名曰低舍,與眾多比丘集於食堂,語諸比丘言:「諸尊,我不分別於法,不樂修梵行,多樂睡眠,疑惑於法。」

爾時,眾中有一比丘,往詣佛所,禮佛足,卻住一面,白佛言:「世尊!低舍比丘以眾多比丘集於食堂,作如是說,唱言:『我不能分別於法,不樂修梵行,多樂睡眠,疑惑於法

現代漢語譯本:如果這樣,修習並多次修習無常的觀念,就能斷除一切對慾望的愛、對物質的愛、對非物質的愛、掉舉、驕慢和無明。 就像所有眾生的足跡中,像的足跡最大,因為它能容納一切。同樣,修習並多次修習無常的觀念,就能斷除一切對慾望的愛、對物質的愛、對非物質的愛、掉舉、驕慢和無明。 就像閻浮提的所有河流都流向大海,而大海是最大的,因為它能容納一切。同樣,修習並多次修習無常的觀念,就能斷除一切對慾望的愛、對物質的愛、對非物質的愛、掉舉、驕慢和無明。 就像太陽升起,能消除世間的一切黑暗。同樣,修習並多次修習無常的觀念,就能斷除一切對慾望的愛、對物質的愛、對非物質的愛、掉舉、驕慢和無明。 就像轉輪聖王,在所有小王中是最尊貴、最殊勝的。同樣,修習並多次修習無常的觀念,就能斷除一切對慾望的愛、對物質的愛、對非物質的愛、掉舉、驕慢和無明。 諸位比丘!如何修習無常的觀念,修習並多次修習,就能斷除一切對慾望的愛、對物質的愛、對非物質的愛、掉舉、驕慢和無明呢?如果比丘在空曠的地上或樹林間,善於正確地思考,觀察色是無常的,受、想、行、識也是無常的。這樣思考,就能斷除一切對慾望的愛、對物質的愛、對非物質的愛、掉舉、驕慢和無明。為什麼呢?因為無常的觀念能建立無我的觀念,聖弟子安住于無我的觀念,內心遠離我慢,從而順利地獲得涅槃。 佛陀說完這部經后,當時,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二七一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫低舍的比丘,與眾多比丘聚集在食堂,對眾比丘說:『諸位尊者,我不能分辨佛法,不樂意修行梵行,喜歡睡覺,對佛法感到疑惑。』 當時,眾中有一位比丘,前往佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!低舍比丘與眾多比丘聚集在食堂,說了這樣的話,宣稱:『我不能分辨佛法,不樂意修行梵行,喜歡睡覺,對佛法感到疑惑。』

English version: If so, the contemplation of impermanence, when cultivated and frequently practiced, can eradicate all craving for sensual pleasures, craving for material existence, craving for immaterial existence, restlessness, conceit, and ignorance. Just as among all the footprints of living beings, the footprint of an elephant is the largest, because it encompasses all others. Similarly, the contemplation of impermanence, when cultivated and frequently practiced, can eradicate all craving for sensual pleasures, craving for material existence, craving for immaterial existence, restlessness, conceit, and ignorance. Just as all the rivers of Jambudvipa flow into the ocean, and the ocean is the greatest, because it encompasses all. Similarly, the contemplation of impermanence, when cultivated and frequently practiced, can eradicate all craving for sensual pleasures, craving for material existence, craving for immaterial existence, restlessness, conceit, and ignorance. Just as the rising sun dispels all the darkness in the world. Similarly, the contemplation of impermanence, when cultivated and frequently practiced, can eradicate all craving for sensual pleasures, craving for material existence, craving for immaterial existence, restlessness, conceit, and ignorance. Just as a Wheel-Turning Monarch is the highest and most excellent among all lesser kings. Similarly, the contemplation of impermanence, when cultivated and frequently practiced, can eradicate all craving for sensual pleasures, craving for material existence, craving for immaterial existence, restlessness, conceit, and ignorance. Monks, how does one cultivate the contemplation of impermanence, cultivate and frequently practice it, so that it can eradicate all craving for sensual pleasures, craving for material existence, craving for immaterial existence, restlessness, conceit, and ignorance? If a monk, in an open space or among trees, contemplates well and correctly, observing that form is impermanent, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent. By contemplating in this way, one can eradicate all craving for sensual pleasures, craving for material existence, craving for immaterial existence, restlessness, conceit, and ignorance. Why is that? Because the contemplation of impermanence establishes the contemplation of non-self, and a noble disciple abiding in the contemplation of non-self, his mind is free from conceit, and he smoothly attains Nirvana. After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (Two hundred and seventy-one) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, there was a monk named Tissa, who gathered with many monks in the refectory, and said to the monks: 'Venerable ones, I cannot distinguish the Dharma, I do not delight in practicing the holy life, I enjoy sleeping a lot, and I am doubtful about the Dharma.' At that time, one of the monks in the assembly went to the Buddha, paid homage to his feet, stood to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, the monk Tissa, having gathered with many monks in the refectory, spoke thus, proclaiming: 'I cannot distinguish the Dharma, I do not delight in practicing the holy life, I enjoy sleeping a lot, and I am doubtful about the Dharma.'


。』」

佛告比丘:「是低舍比丘是愚癡人,不守根門,飲食不知量,初夜、后夜,心不覺悟,懈怠懶惰,不勤精進,不善觀察思惟善法;彼于分別法,心樂修梵行,離諸睡眠,于正法中離諸疑惑,無有是處。若當比丘守護根門,飲食知量,初夜、后夜,覺悟精進,觀察善法,樂分別法,樂修梵行,離於睡眠,心不疑法,斯有是處。」

爾時,世尊告一比丘,汝往語低舍比丘言:「大師呼汝。」

比丘白佛:「唯然,受教。」前禮佛足,詣低舍所,而作是言:「長老低舍!世尊呼汝!」低舍聞命,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,卻住一面。

爾時,世尊語低舍比丘言:「汝低舍!實與眾多比丘集於食堂,作是唱言:『諸長老!我不能分別於法,不樂梵行,多樂睡眠,疑惑於法』耶?」低舍白佛:「實爾。世尊!」

佛問低舍:「我今問汝,隨汝意答。于意云何?若於色不離貪、不離欲、不離愛、不離念、不離渴,彼色若變、若異。于汝意云何?當起憂、悲、惱、苦為不耶?」

低舍白佛:「如是,世尊!若於色不離貪、不離欲、不離愛、不離念、不離渴,彼色若變、若異,實起憂、悲、惱、苦。世尊!實爾不異。」

佛告低舍:「善哉!善哉!低舍!正應如是,不離貪慾說法。低舍!于受、想、行、識,不離貪、不離欲、不離愛、不離念、不離渴,彼識若變、若異,于汝意云何?當起憂、悲、惱、苦為不耶?」

低舍白佛:「如是,世尊!于識不離貪、不離欲、不離愛、不離念、不離渴,彼識若變、若異,實起憂、悲、惱、苦

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴比丘們:『這位低舍比丘真是愚癡之人,不守護根門,飲食不知節制,初夜和后夜都不能保持清醒,懈怠懶惰,不勤奮精進,不善於觀察和思考善法。他想要在分辨佛法、樂於修行梵行、遠離睡眠、對正法不再疑惑,這是不可能的。如果比丘能夠守護根門,飲食有節制,初夜和后夜保持清醒並精進,觀察善法,樂於分辨佛法,樂於修行梵行,遠離睡眠,心中對佛法不再疑惑,這才是可能的。』 當時,世尊告訴一位比丘,『你前去告訴低舍比丘,說大師要見他。』 比丘回答佛陀:『是的,我接受教誨。』然後他向佛陀行禮,前往低舍所在之處,說道:『長老低舍!世尊要見你!』低舍聽到命令,就前往世尊所在之處,向佛陀行禮,然後退到一旁站立。 當時,世尊對低舍比丘說:『你低舍!你真的在食堂里對眾多比丘說:『諸位長老!我不能分辨佛法,不樂於修行梵行,常常貪睡,對佛法感到疑惑』嗎?』低舍回答佛陀:『確實如此,世尊!』 佛陀問低舍:『我現在問你,你隨自己的想法回答。你認為如何?如果對於色法不能離貪、不能離欲、不能離愛、不能離念、不能離渴,那麼這個色法如果變化或不同,你認為會產生憂愁、悲傷、惱怒、痛苦嗎?』 低舍回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!如果對於色法不能離貪、不能離欲、不能離愛、不能離念、不能離渴,那麼這個色法如果變化或不同,確實會產生憂愁、悲傷、惱怒、痛苦。世尊!確實如此,沒有不同。』 佛陀告訴低舍:『好啊!好啊!低舍!就應該這樣,不能離貪慾地說法。低舍!對於受、想、行、識,如果不能離貪、不能離欲、不能離愛、不能離念、不能離渴,那麼這個識如果變化或不同,你認為會產生憂愁、悲傷、惱怒、痛苦嗎?』 低舍回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!如果對於識不能離貪、不能離欲、不能離愛、不能離念、不能離渴,那麼這個識如果變化或不同,確實會產生憂愁、悲傷、惱怒、痛苦。』

English version The Buddha told the monks, 'This monk, Tissa, is a foolish person. He does not guard his senses, he does not know moderation in eating, he is not mindful during the early and late watches of the night, he is lazy and indolent, he does not strive diligently, and he is not good at observing and contemplating wholesome teachings. It is impossible for him to discern the Dharma, to delight in the holy life, to be free from sleep, and to be without doubt in the true Dharma. If a monk guards his senses, knows moderation in eating, is mindful and diligent during the early and late watches of the night, observes wholesome teachings, delights in discerning the Dharma, delights in the holy life, is free from sleep, and has no doubt in the Dharma, then that is possible.' At that time, the Blessed One told a monk, 'Go and tell the monk Tissa that the Master calls for him.' The monk replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, I accept the teaching.' Then he bowed to the Buddha and went to where Tissa was, and said, 'Elder Tissa! The Blessed One calls for you!' Tissa, hearing the command, went to where the Blessed One was, bowed at his feet, and stood to one side. At that time, the Blessed One said to the monk Tissa, 'Tissa, is it true that you gathered with many monks in the dining hall and proclaimed, 'Elders! I cannot discern the Dharma, I do not delight in the holy life, I often sleep, and I have doubts about the Dharma'?' Tissa replied to the Buddha, 'It is true, Blessed One!' The Buddha asked Tissa, 'Now I ask you, answer as you see fit. What do you think? If one is not free from greed, not free from desire, not free from love, not free from attachment, not free from thirst for form, and that form changes or becomes different, what do you think? Will sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering arise?' Tissa replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Blessed One! If one is not free from greed, not free from desire, not free from love, not free from attachment, not free from thirst for form, and that form changes or becomes different, then sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering will indeed arise. Blessed One! It is indeed so, there is no difference.' The Buddha told Tissa, 'Well done! Well done! Tissa! It should be just so, to teach without being free from greed. Tissa! Regarding feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, if one is not free from greed, not free from desire, not free from love, not free from attachment, not free from thirst, and that consciousness changes or becomes different, what do you think? Will sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering arise?' Tissa replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Blessed One! If one is not free from greed, not free from desire, not free from love, not free from attachment, not free from thirst for consciousness, and that consciousness changes or becomes different, then sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering will indeed arise.'


。世尊!實爾不異。」

佛告低舍:「善哉!善哉!正應如是,識不離貪慾說法。」

佛告低舍:「于意云何?若於色離貪、離欲、離愛、離念、離渴,彼色若變、若異時,當生憂、悲、惱、苦耶?」

低舍白佛:「不也,世尊!」

「如是不異。于意云何?受、想、行、識,離貪、離欲、離愛、離念、離渴,彼識若變、若異,當生憂、悲、惱、苦耶?」

低舍答曰:「不也,世尊!如是不異。」

佛告低舍:「善哉!善哉!低舍!今當說譬,大智慧者,以譬得解。如二士夫共伴行一路,一善知路,一不知路,其不知者語知路者,作如是言:『我欲詣某城、某村、某聚落,當示我路。』時,知路者即示彼路,語言:『士夫,從此道去,前見二道,舍左從右前行,復有坑澗渠流,復當舍左從右,復有叢林,復當舍左從右。汝當如是漸漸前行,得至某城。』」

佛告低舍:「其譬如是:不知路者,譬愚癡凡夫。其知路者,譬如來、應、等正覺。前二路者,謂眾生狐疑。左路者,三不善法——貪、恚、害覺。其右路者,謂三善覺——出要離欲覺、不瞋覺、不害覺。前行左路者,謂邪見、邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定。前行右路者,謂正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。坑澗渠流者,謂瞋恚、覆障、憂、悲。叢林者,謂五欲功德也。城者,謂般涅槃。」

佛告低舍:「佛為大師,為諸聲聞所作已作,如今當作哀愍悲念,以義安樂,皆悉已作

世尊,確實如此,沒有不同。 佛陀告訴低舍:『好啊,好啊!正是這樣,識的本質不離貪慾。』 佛陀告訴低舍:『你認為如何?如果對於色,離貪、離欲、離愛、離念、離渴,那麼當這個色發生變化或不同時,會產生憂愁、悲傷、煩惱、痛苦嗎?』 低舍回答佛陀:『不會的,世尊!』 『確實如此,沒有不同。你認為如何?受、想、行、識,如果離貪、離欲、離愛、離念、離渴,那麼當這個識發生變化或不同時,會產生憂愁、悲傷、煩惱、痛苦嗎?』 低舍回答說:『不會的,世尊!確實如此,沒有不同。』 佛陀告訴低舍:『好啊,好啊!低舍!現在我將說個譬喻,有大智慧的人,可以通過譬喻理解。就像兩個旅人一起走在路上,一個熟悉道路,一個不熟悉道路。那個不熟悉道路的人對熟悉道路的人說:『我想去某個城市、某個村莊、某個聚落,請你給我指路。』這時,熟悉道路的人就給他指路,說:『你從這條路走,前面會看到兩條路,捨棄左邊走右邊,繼續往前走,又會遇到坑澗和水渠,還是要捨棄左邊走右邊,再往前走,又會遇到叢林,還是要捨棄左邊走右邊。你這樣漸漸往前走,就能到達那個城市。』 佛陀告訴低舍:『這個譬喻是這樣的:不熟悉道路的人,譬喻愚癡的凡夫。熟悉道路的人,譬喻如來、應供、正等覺。前面的兩條路,是指眾生的狐疑。左邊的路,是指三種不善法——貪、嗔、害的念頭。右邊的路,是指三種善念——出離慾念、不嗔念、不害念。走左邊的路,是指邪見、邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定。走右邊的路,是指正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。坑澗和水渠,是指嗔恚、覆障、憂愁、悲傷。叢林,是指五欲的功德。城市,是指般涅槃。』 佛陀告訴低舍:『佛陀作為導師,為所有聲聞弟子所做的事情已經完成,現在應當以慈悲憐憫之心,以正義和安樂來對待他們,這些都已經做完了。』

'Venerable Sir, it is indeed so, there is no difference.' The Buddha said to Dīśa: 'Excellent, excellent! It should be just so. Consciousness is not separate from the teaching of desire.' The Buddha said to Dīśa: 'What do you think? If one is free from greed, desire, love, attachment, and thirst for form, when that form changes or becomes different, will sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering arise?' Dīśa replied to the Buddha: 'No, Venerable Sir!' 'It is indeed so, there is no difference. What do you think? If one is free from greed, desire, love, attachment, and thirst for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, when that consciousness changes or becomes different, will sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering arise?' Dīśa replied: 'No, Venerable Sir! It is indeed so, there is no difference.' The Buddha said to Dīśa: 'Excellent, excellent! Dīśa! Now I will tell a parable. Those with great wisdom can understand through parables. It is like two men traveling together on a road, one knows the road well, and the other does not. The one who does not know the road says to the one who knows the road: 『I want to go to such and such a city, village, or settlement, please show me the way.』 Then, the one who knows the road shows him the way, saying: 『Man, go this way, ahead you will see two roads, abandon the left and go to the right, continue forward, you will encounter pits and streams, again abandon the left and go to the right, continue forward, you will encounter a forest, again abandon the left and go to the right. If you proceed gradually in this way, you will reach that city.』' The Buddha said to Dīśa: 'This parable is like this: the one who does not know the road is like an ignorant ordinary person. The one who knows the road is like the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One. The two roads ahead are the doubts of sentient beings. The left road is the three unwholesome thoughts—greed, hatred, and harmful thoughts. The right road is the three wholesome thoughts—the thought of renunciation, the thought of non-hatred, and the thought of non-harm. Going on the left road is like wrong view, wrong intention, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong concentration. Going on the right road is like right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. The pits and streams are like anger, obstruction, sorrow, and grief. The forest is like the merits of the five desires. The city is like Parinirvana.' The Buddha said to Dīśa: 'The Buddha, as a teacher, has done what needs to be done for all the disciples, and now, with compassion and pity, with righteousness and peace, all these have been done.'


。汝等今日,當作所作,當於樹下,或空露地、山巖窟宅,敷草為座,善思正念,修不放逸,莫令久後心有悔恨,我今教汝。」

爾時,低舍聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二七二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,眾中有少諍事,世尊責諸比丘故,晨朝著衣持缽,入城乞食。食已,出,攝舉衣缽,洗足,入安陀林,坐一樹下,獨靜思惟,作是念:「眾中有少諍事,我責諸比丘,然彼眾中多年少比丘,出家未久,不見大師,或起悔心,愁憂不樂。我已長夜于諸比丘生哀愍心,今當復還,攝取彼眾,以哀愍故。」

時,大梵王知佛心念,如力士屈伸臂頃,從梵天沒,住于佛前,而白佛言:「如是,世尊!如是,善逝!責諸比丘,以少諍事故。于彼眾中多有年少比丘,出家未久,不見大師,或起悔心,愁憂不樂。世尊長夜哀愍,攝受眾僧。善哉!世尊!愿今當還攝諸比丘。」

爾時,世尊心已垂愍梵天故,默然而許。時,大梵天知佛世尊默然已許,為佛作禮,右繞三匝,忽然不現。

爾時世尊,大梵天王還去未久,即還祇樹給孤獨園。敷尼師檀,𣫍身正坐,表現微相,令諸比丘敢來奉見。時,諸比丘來詣佛所,懷慚愧色,前禮佛足,卻坐一面。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「出家之人,卑下活命,剃髮持缽,家家乞食,如被噤咒。所以然者,為求勝義故,為度生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦、究竟苦邊故

現代漢語譯本:'你們今天應當做的事情,就應當在樹下,或者空曠的露天地方、山巖洞穴,鋪上草作為座位,好好地思考正念,修習不放逸,不要讓很久以後心中產生後悔,我現在教導你們。' 當時,低舍聽了佛所說的話,歡喜地奉行。 (二七二) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,僧眾中有些爭執的事情,世尊責備了眾比丘,因此早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入城中乞食。吃完飯後,出來,收拾好衣缽,洗了腳,進入安陀林,坐在一棵樹下,獨自靜靜地思考,這樣想:『僧眾中有些爭執的事情,我責備了眾比丘,然而他們之中有很多年輕的比丘,出家不久,沒有見到大師,或許會產生後悔的心情,憂愁不快樂。我一直以來都對眾比丘懷有憐憫之心,現在應當回去,接納他們,因為憐憫的緣故。』 當時,大梵天王知道佛的心念,像力士屈伸手臂一樣,從梵天消失,站在佛的面前,對佛說:『是的,世尊!是的,善逝!責備眾比丘,是因為一些爭執的事情。在他們之中有很多年輕的比丘,出家不久,沒有見到大師,或許會產生後悔的心情,憂愁不快樂。世尊一直以來都懷有憐憫之心,接納僧眾。太好了!世尊!希望您現在就回去接納眾比丘。』 當時,世尊因為憐憫梵天,所以默默地答應了。當時,大梵天王知道佛世尊已經默許,就向佛作禮,右繞三圈,忽然消失不見。 當時,世尊,大梵天王離開后不久,就回到祇樹給孤獨園。鋪好尼師檀,端正地坐著,顯現出微妙的相,讓眾比丘敢於前來拜見。當時,眾比丘來到佛的住所,懷著慚愧的神色,上前禮拜佛的腳,退到一旁坐下。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『出家之人,過著卑微的生活,剃髮持缽,挨家挨戶乞食,就像被下了禁咒一樣。之所以這樣,是爲了追求殊勝的意義,爲了度脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,達到究竟的苦的盡頭。』

English version: 'You all, today, should do what needs to be done, either under a tree, or in an open space, a mountain cave, spread grass as a seat, think well with right mindfulness, cultivate non-negligence, do not let regret arise in your hearts after a long time, I am now teaching you.' At that time, Low She heard what the Buddha said and joyfully followed it. (Two hundred and seventy-two) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, there were some disputes among the assembly, and the World Honored One rebuked the monks. Therefore, in the morning, he put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered the city to beg for food. After eating, he came out, put away his robes and bowl, washed his feet, entered the Andha forest, sat under a tree, and thought quietly to himself: 'There are some disputes among the assembly, and I rebuked the monks. However, among them are many young monks who have not been ordained for long, have not seen the Master, and may feel regret, sorrow, and unhappiness. I have always had compassion for the monks, and now I should return and gather them, out of compassion.' At that time, the Great Brahma King knew the Buddha's thoughts, and as quickly as a strong man bends and stretches his arm, he disappeared from the Brahma heaven and stood before the Buddha, saying to the Buddha: 'Yes, World Honored One! Yes, Well-Gone One! You rebuked the monks because of some disputes. Among them are many young monks who have not been ordained for long, have not seen the Master, and may feel regret, sorrow, and unhappiness. The World Honored One has always had compassion and accepted the Sangha. Excellent! World Honored One! May you now return and gather the monks.' At that time, the World Honored One, out of compassion for Brahma, silently agreed. At that time, the Great Brahma King, knowing that the Buddha had silently agreed, bowed to the Buddha, circumambulated him three times to the right, and suddenly disappeared. At that time, the World Honored One, not long after the Great Brahma King had left, returned to the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. He spread out his sitting cloth, sat upright, and displayed a subtle appearance, so that the monks would dare to come and see him. At that time, the monks came to the Buddha's place, with ashamed expressions, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'Those who have left home live a humble life, shave their heads, carry a bowl, and beg for food from house to house, as if under a spell. The reason for this is to seek the supreme meaning, to cross over birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering, and to reach the ultimate end of suffering.'


。諸善男子!汝不為王賊所使、非負債人、不為恐怖、不為失命而出家,正為解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。汝等不為此而出家耶?」

比丘白佛:「實爾。世尊!」

佛告比丘:「汝等比丘為如是勝義而出家。云何于中猶復有一愚癡凡夫,而起貪慾,極生染著,瞋恚兇暴,懈怠下劣,失念不定,諸根迷亂?譬如士夫從闇而入闇,從冥入冥,從糞廁出復墮糞廁,以血洗血,舍離諸惡還復取惡。我說此譬,凡愚比丘亦復如是。又復譬如焚屍火𣕊,捐棄塳間,不為樵伐之所採拾。我說此譬,愚癡凡夫比丘而起貪慾,極生染著,瞋恚兇暴,懈怠下劣,失念不定,諸根散亂,亦復如是。

「比丘!有三不善覺法。何等為三?貪覺、恚覺、害覺,此三覺由想而起。云何想?想有無量種種,貪想、恚想、害想,諸不善覺從此而生。比丘!貪想、恚想、害想、貪覺、恚覺、害覺,及無量種種不善。云何究竟滅盡?於四念處繫心,住無相三昧,修習多修習,惡不善法從是而滅,無餘永盡,正以此法。

「善男子、善女人信樂出家,修習無相三昧,修習多修習已,住甘露門,乃至究竟甘露涅槃。我不說此甘露涅槃,依三見者。何等為三?有一種見如是如是說:『命則是身。』復有如是見:『命異身異。』又作是說:『色是我,無二無異,長存不變。』多聞聖弟子作是思惟:『世間頗有一法可取而無罪過者?』思惟已,都不見一法可取而無罪過者。我若取色,即有罪過;若取受、想、行、識,則有罪過

現代漢語譯本:『諸位善男子!你們出家不是因為被國王或盜賊驅使,不是因為負債,不是因為恐懼,也不是爲了逃避死亡,而是爲了解脫生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、煩惱和痛苦。你們出家不是爲了這個目的嗎?』 比丘們回答佛說:『確實如此,世尊!』 佛告訴比丘們:『你們這些比丘是爲了如此殊勝的意義而出家。為什麼其中還有愚癡的凡夫,生起貪慾,極度執著,充滿嗔恨和兇暴,懈怠和低下,失去正念和定力,六根迷亂呢?這就像一個人從黑暗進入黑暗,從昏暗進入昏暗,從糞坑出來又掉進糞坑,用血洗血,捨棄惡行又重新去做惡行。我說的這個比喻,愚癡的比丘也是如此。又像焚燒屍體的火堆,被丟棄在墳地,不會被樵夫撿拾。我說的這個比喻,愚癡的凡夫比丘生起貪慾,極度執著,充滿嗔恨和兇暴,懈怠和低下,失去正念和定力,六根散亂,也是如此。』 『比丘們!有三種不善的覺法。是哪三種呢?貪覺、嗔覺、害覺,這三種覺是由想而產生的。什麼是想呢?想有無量種種,貪想、嗔想、害想,各種不善的覺都由此產生。比丘們!貪想、嗔想、害想、貪覺、嗔覺、害覺,以及無量種種不善。如何才能究竟滅盡呢?在四念處繫心,安住于無相三昧,修習並多次修習,惡不善法就會由此滅盡,徹底消失,正是通過這種方法。』 『善男子、善女人,如果信樂出家,修習無相三昧,修習並多次修習之後,就能安住于甘露之門,乃至最終達到甘露涅槃。我不說這種甘露涅槃是依靠三種見解的人所能達到的。是哪三種呢?有一種見解這樣說:『生命就是身體。』還有一種見解說:『生命和身體是不同的。』還有一種見解說:『色就是我,沒有二樣,沒有差別,長久存在,不會改變。』多聞的聖弟子這樣思考:『世間有沒有一種法可以執取而沒有過失呢?』思考之後,發現沒有一種法可以執取而沒有過失。如果我執取色,就會有過失;如果我執取受、想、行、識,就會有過失。』

English version: 『Good men! You did not leave home because you were compelled by a king or a thief, nor because you were in debt, nor because of fear, nor to escape death, but precisely to be liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. Did you not leave home for this purpose?』 The monks replied to the Buddha, 『Indeed, Venerable One!』 The Buddha told the monks, 『You monks have left home for such a noble purpose. Why then are there still foolish ordinary people among you who give rise to greed, become extremely attached, are full of hatred and violence, are lazy and inferior, lose mindfulness and concentration, and have their senses confused? It is like a person going from darkness into darkness, from gloom into gloom, coming out of a cesspool only to fall back into a cesspool, washing blood with blood, abandoning evil deeds only to do them again. This is the simile I use, and foolish monks are also like this. It is also like a funeral pyre, discarded in a graveyard, not to be picked up by woodcutters. This is the simile I use, and foolish ordinary monks who give rise to greed, become extremely attached, are full of hatred and violence, are lazy and inferior, lose mindfulness and concentration, and have their senses scattered, are also like this.』 『Monks! There are three unwholesome perceptions. What are the three? The perception of greed, the perception of hatred, and the perception of harm. These three perceptions arise from thought. What is thought? Thought is of countless kinds, thoughts of greed, thoughts of hatred, thoughts of harm, and all unwholesome perceptions arise from this. Monks! Thoughts of greed, thoughts of hatred, thoughts of harm, the perception of greed, the perception of hatred, the perception of harm, and countless kinds of unwholesomeness. How can they be completely extinguished? By focusing the mind on the four foundations of mindfulness, abiding in the signless samadhi, practicing and repeatedly practicing, evil and unwholesome states will be extinguished from this, completely and forever, and it is precisely through this method.』 『Good men and good women, if they believe and rejoice in leaving home, practice the signless samadhi, practice and repeatedly practice, they will abide in the gate of nectar, and ultimately attain the nectar of Nirvana. I do not say that this nectar of Nirvana is attained by those who rely on three views. What are the three? One view says: 『Life is the same as the body.』 Another view says: 『Life is different from the body.』 And another view says: 『Form is me, there is no duality, no difference, it is permanent and unchanging.』 The learned noble disciple thinks thus: 『Is there any dharma in the world that can be grasped without fault?』 After thinking, they find that there is no dharma that can be grasped without fault. If I grasp form, there will be fault; if I grasp feeling, perception, mental formations, or consciousness, there will be fault.』


。作是知已,于諸世間,則無所取,無所取者,自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已。時,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

雜阿含經卷第十一

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(二七三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘獨靜思惟:「云何為我?我何所為?何等是我?我何所住?」從禪覺已,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我獨一靜處,作是思惟:『云何為我?我何所為?何法是我?我於何住?』」

佛告比丘:「今當爲汝說於二法。諦聽,善思,云何為二?眼色為二。耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法為二,是名二法。比丘!若有說言:『沙門瞿曇所說二法,此非為二,我今舍此,更立二法。』彼但有言數,問已不知,增其疑惑,以非境界故。所以者何?緣眼、色,生眼識。

「比丘!彼眼者,是肉形、是內、是因緣、是堅、是受,是名眼肉形內地界。比丘!若眼肉形,若內、若因緣、津澤、是受,是名眼肉形內水界。比丘!若彼眼肉形,若內、若因緣、明暖、是受,是名眼肉形內火界。比丘!若彼眼肉形,若內、若因緣、輕飄動搖、是受,是名眼肉形內風界。

「比丘!譬如兩手和合相對作聲。如是緣眼、色,生眼識,三事和合觸,觸俱生受、想、思

現代漢語譯本:當他這樣認知時,對於世間的一切,便不再執取。不再執取的人,會自覺證得涅槃:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經確立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來世。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 應說、小土摶,泡沫、二無知,河流、祇林、樹,低舍責、諸想。 《雜阿含經》卷第十 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第十一 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (二七三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘獨自靜坐思惟:『什麼是「我」?我爲了什麼而存在?什麼才算是「我」?我依何而住?』他從禪定中醒來后,前往佛陀的住所,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,稟告佛陀說:『世尊!我獨自一人靜處時,這樣思惟:『什麼是「我」?我爲了什麼而存在?什麼法才算是「我」?我依何而住?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『我現在要為你解說兩種法。仔細聽,好好思考。哪兩種呢?眼和色是兩種。耳和聲、鼻和香、舌和味、身和觸、意和法是兩種,這稱為兩種法。比丘!如果有人說:『沙門瞿曇所說的兩種法,這不是兩種,我現在捨棄這種說法,另外建立兩種法。』他只是在言語上逞強,問他之後卻什麼都不知道,反而增加他的疑惑,因為他沒有達到那個境界。為什麼呢?因為緣于眼和色,才產生眼識。 『比丘!那個眼,是肉體的形狀,是內在的,是因緣和合的,是堅硬的,是感受,這稱為眼肉形內的地界。比丘!如果眼肉形,是內在的,是因緣和合的,是濕潤的,是感受,這稱為眼肉形內的水界。比丘!如果那個眼肉形,是內在的,是因緣和合的,是明亮溫暖的,是感受,這稱為眼肉形內的火界。比丘!如果那個眼肉形,是內在的,是因緣和合的,是輕飄動搖的,是感受,這稱為眼肉形內的風界。 『比丘!譬如兩手合在一起會發出聲音。同樣地,緣于眼和色,產生眼識,這三者和合而有觸,觸同時產生受、想、思。'

English version: When he knows this, he has no attachment to anything in the world. One who has no attachment realizes Nirvana: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, I know that I will not have another existence.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. Should be spoken, small lump of earth, foam, two ignorances, river, Jeta Grove, tree, low dwelling, blame, all thoughts. Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Scroll 10 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 02, No. 0099, Miscellaneous Agama Sutra Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Scroll 11 Translated by Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty, from India (273) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, a certain monk was alone in quiet contemplation: 『What is 「I」? What am I for? What is considered 「I」? Where do I dwell?』 Having awakened from meditation, he went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and stood to one side, saying to the Buddha: 『Venerable Sir, when I was alone in a quiet place, I thought: 『What is 「I」? What am I for? What dharma is considered 「I」? Where do I dwell?』 The Buddha said to the monk: 『Now I will explain two dharmas to you. Listen carefully and contemplate well. What are the two? The eye and form are two. The ear and sound, the nose and smell, the tongue and taste, the body and touch, the mind and dharma are two, these are called two dharmas. Monk, if someone says: 『The two dharmas spoken by the Shramana Gautama are not two, I now abandon this and establish two other dharmas.』 He is merely engaging in empty talk, and when questioned, he knows nothing, only increasing his doubts, because he has not reached that state. Why is that? Because, conditioned by the eye and form, eye consciousness arises.』 『Monk, that eye is a physical form, it is internal, it is conditioned, it is solid, it is a sensation, this is called the earth element within the physical form of the eye. Monk, if the physical form of the eye is internal, conditioned, moist, and a sensation, this is called the water element within the physical form of the eye. Monk, if that physical form of the eye is internal, conditioned, bright and warm, and a sensation, this is called the fire element within the physical form of the eye. Monk, if that physical form of the eye is internal, conditioned, light, moving, and a sensation, this is called the wind element within the physical form of the eye.』 『Monk, just as when two hands come together, a sound is produced. Similarly, conditioned by the eye and form, eye consciousness arises, and these three coming together is contact, and with contact, sensation, perception, and thought arise simultaneously.』


。此等諸法非我、非常,是無常之我,非恒、非安隱、變易之我。所以者何?比丘!謂生、老、死、沒、受生之法。

「比丘!諸行如幻、如炎,剎那時頃盡朽,不實來實去。是故,比丘!于空諸行當知、當喜、當念:『空諸行常、恒、住、不變易法空,無我、我所。』譬如明目士夫,手執明燈,入于空室,彼空室觀察。

「如是,比丘!於一切空行、空心觀察歡喜,于空法行,常、恒、住、不變易法,空我、我所。如眼,耳、鼻、舌、身、意法因緣生意識,三事和合觸,觸俱生受、想、思,此諸法無我、無常,乃至空我、我所。比丘!于意云何?眼是常、為非常耶?」

答言:「非常。世尊!」

復問:「若無常者,是苦耶?」

答言:「是苦。世尊!」

復問:「若無常、苦,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于中見我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

「耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。如是多聞聖弟子于眼生厭,厭故不樂,不樂故解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。」

時,彼比丘聞世尊說合手聲譬經教已,獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至自知不受後有。成阿羅漢。

(二七四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「非汝有者,當棄捨,舍彼法已,長夜安樂

現代漢語譯本:這些法不是『我』,不是永恒的,是無常的『我』,不是恒常、不是安穩、會變化的『我』。為什麼呢?比丘們!因為有生、老、死、消逝、再生的規律。 比丘們!諸行如幻象、如火焰,瞬間就會朽壞,不真實地來,不真實地去。因此,比丘們!對於空性的諸行,應當知曉、應當歡喜、應當憶念:『空性的諸行是常、恒、住、不變的法,是空無我、空無我所的。』譬如一個視力良好的人,手持明燈,進入空室,觀察那空室。 同樣地,比丘們!對於一切空性的行、空性的心,觀察並歡喜,對於空性的法行,常、恒、住、不變的法,空無我、空無我所。如眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意,因緣生意識,三者和合產生觸,觸同時產生受、想、思,這些法都是無我、無常的,乃至空無我、空無我所。比丘們!你們認為如何?眼是常還是無常呢?』 回答說:『是無常的,世尊!』 又問:『如果無常,是苦嗎?』 回答說:『是苦,世尊!』 又問:『如果無常、是苦、是會變化的法,多聞的聖弟子會在其中看到我、異於我、或存在於我之中嗎?』 回答說:『不會的,世尊!』 『耳、鼻、舌、身、意也是如此。』如此,多聞的聖弟子對於眼生起厭離,因為厭離而不喜樂,因為不喜樂而解脫,解脫後生起知見:『我的生死已盡,梵行已立,該做的已做完,自己知道不再有後世。』耳、鼻、舌、身、意也是如此。 當時,那些比丘聽聞世尊說完合手聲譬喻的教導后,獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸地修行,直到自己知道不再有後世,成就了阿羅漢。 (二七四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『不是你們所有的,應當捨棄,捨棄那些法后,長夜安樂。』

English version: These dharmas are not 'I', not permanent, they are impermanent 'I', not constant, not secure, a changing 'I'. Why is that? Monks! Because there are the laws of birth, aging, death, passing away, and rebirth. Monks! All formations are like illusions, like flames, they decay in an instant, they come unrealistically, and go unrealistically. Therefore, monks! Regarding the empty formations, you should know, should rejoice, should remember: 'Empty formations are constant, permanent, abiding, unchanging dharmas, empty of self, empty of what belongs to self.' Just like a man with good eyesight, holding a bright lamp, enters an empty room, and observes that empty room. Likewise, monks! Regarding all empty formations, empty mind, observe and rejoice, regarding empty dharma practices, constant, permanent, abiding, unchanging dharmas, empty of self, empty of what belongs to self. Like the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, from conditions arises consciousness, the three combine to produce contact, contact simultaneously produces feeling, perception, and thought, these dharmas are all without self, impermanent, even empty of self, empty of what belongs to self. Monks! What do you think? Is the eye permanent or impermanent?' They answered: 'It is impermanent, Venerable One!' He asked again: 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' They answered: 'It is suffering, Venerable One!' He asked again: 'If it is impermanent, suffering, and a changing dharma, would a well-learned noble disciple see self, different from self, or existing within self in it?' They answered: 'No, Venerable One!' 'The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also like this.' Thus, a well-learned noble disciple becomes weary of the eye, because of weariness he does not delight, because he does not delight he is liberated, after liberation he gains the knowledge: 'My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, I know for myself that there is no further existence.' The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also like this. At that time, those monks, after hearing the Venerable One finish speaking the teaching of the simile of the sound of clapping hands, each went to a quiet place, focused their minds diligently, practiced without negligence, until they knew for themselves that there was no further existence, and became Arhats. (Two hundred and seventy-four) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the Venerable One told the monks: 'What is not yours, you should abandon, after abandoning those dharmas, you will have long-lasting peace and happiness.'


。諸比丘!于意云何?於此祇桓中,諸草木枝葉,有人持去,汝等頗有念言:『此諸物是我所,彼人何故輒持去?』」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

「所以者何?彼亦非我、非我所故,汝諸比丘亦復如是。于非所有物當盡棄捨,棄捨彼法已,長夜安樂。何等為非汝所有?謂眼,眼非汝所有,彼應棄捨,舍彼法已,長夜安樂。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。云何?比丘!眼是常耶?為非常耶?」

答言:「無常。」

世尊復問:「若無常者,是苦耶?」

答言:「是苦。世尊!」

復問:「若無常、苦者,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于中見我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

「耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。多聞聖弟子於此六入處觀察非我、非我所,觀察已,于諸世間都無所取,無所取故無所著,無所著故自覺涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二七五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「其有說言大力者,其唯難陀!此是正說。其有說言最端政者,其唯難陀!是則正說。其有說言愛慾重者,其唯難陀!是則正說。

「諸比丘!而今難陀關閉根門,飲食知量,初夜、后夜精勤修習,正智成就,堪能盡壽純一滿凈,梵行清白。彼難陀比丘關閉根門故,若眼見色,不取色相,不取隨形好

現代漢語譯本:『諸位比丘!你們怎麼想?在這祇園中,如果有人拿走這裡的草木枝葉,你們會想:『這些東西是我的,那人為什麼隨便拿走?』嗎?』 比丘們回答:『不會的,世尊!』 『為什麼呢?因為那些東西不是我所有的,也不是屬於我的。你們這些比丘也是如此。對於不是自己所有的東西,應當全部捨棄。捨棄這些法之後,就能長久安樂。什麼不是你們所有的呢?就是眼睛。眼睛不是你們所有的,應當捨棄。捨棄它之後,就能長久安樂。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念也是如此。怎麼樣,比丘們!眼睛是常住不變的嗎?還是無常變化的呢?』 比丘們回答:『是無常的。』 世尊又問:『如果無常,是苦嗎?』 比丘們回答:『是苦,世尊!』 又問:『如果無常、是苦,是變易之法,那麼有智慧的聖弟子會認為其中有『我』、『異於我』、『屬於我』嗎?』 比丘們回答:『不會的,世尊!』 『耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念也是如此。有智慧的聖弟子觀察這六種感官接觸之處,認為它們不是『我』,也不是『我所擁有』。觀察之後,對於世間的一切都不執取。因為不執取,所以不執著。因為不執著,所以能自覺證得涅槃:『我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (二七五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『如果有人說誰是大力士,那一定是難陀!這是正確的說法。如果有人說誰最端正,那一定是難陀!這也是正確的說法。如果有人說誰的愛慾最重,那一定是難陀!這也是正確的說法。』 『諸位比丘!而今難陀關閉六根之門,飲食有節制,初夜和后夜都精勤修行,正智成就,能夠一生都保持純潔圓滿的清凈梵行。這位難陀比丘因為關閉六根之門,所以當眼睛看到顏色時,不執著于顏色的表象,也不執著于細微的特徵。

English version: 'Monks, what do you think? If someone were to take away the grass, trees, branches, and leaves in this Jeta Grove, would you think, 『These things are mine, why is that person taking them away?』' The monks replied, 'No, Venerable Sir.' 'Why is that? Because those things are not mine, nor do they belong to me. You monks are the same. You should completely abandon what is not yours. Having abandoned those things, you will live in peace for a long time. What is not yours? The eye is not yours, it should be abandoned. Having abandoned it, you will live in peace for a long time. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same. Now, monks, is the eye permanent or impermanent?' The monks replied, 'Impermanent.' The Buddha further asked, 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' The monks replied, 'It is suffering, Venerable Sir!' He further asked, 'If it is impermanent and suffering, and subject to change, would a well-taught noble disciple see in it 『I』, 『different from I』, or 『belonging to I』?' The monks replied, 'No, Venerable Sir!' 'The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same. A well-taught noble disciple, observing these six sense bases, sees them as not 『I』 and not 『belonging to I』. Having observed this, they do not grasp at anything in the world. Because they do not grasp, they are not attached. Because they are not attached, they realize Nirvana: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life is lived, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』' Having spoken this discourse, the monks were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings. (275) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, 'If someone were to say who is the strongest, it would be Nanda! That is a correct statement. If someone were to say who is the most handsome, it would be Nanda! That is also a correct statement. If someone were to say who has the strongest desires, it would be Nanda! That is also a correct statement.' 'Monks, now Nanda has closed the doors of his senses, is moderate in eating, and diligently practices in the first and last watches of the night. He has achieved right knowledge and is capable of living a pure and complete holy life until the end of his days. Because this monk Nanda has closed the doors of his senses, when the eye sees a form, he does not grasp at the appearance of the form, nor does he grasp at its details.'


。若諸眼根增不律儀、無明闇障、世間貪、愛、惡不善法不漏其心,生諸律儀;防護于眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意根,生諸律儀,是名難陀比丘關閉根門。

「飲食知量者,難陀比丘于食係數:『不自高、不放逸、不著色、不著莊嚴,支身而已。任其所得,為止飢渴,修梵行故。故起苦覺令息滅,未起苦覺令不起故,成其崇向故。氣力安樂,無罪觸住故。如人乘車,涂以膏油,不為自高,乃至莊嚴,為載運故。又如涂瘡,不貪其味,為息苦故。』如是,善男子難陀知量而食,乃至無罪觸住,是名難陀知量而食。

「彼善男子難陀初夜、后夜精勤修業者,彼難陀晝則經行、坐禪,除去陰障,以凈其身。于初夜時,經行、坐禪,除去陰障,以凈其身。于中夜時,房外洗足,入于室中,右脅而臥,屈膝累足,繫念明想,作起覺想。於後夜時,徐覺徐起,經行、坐禪,是名善男子難陀初夜、后夜精勤修集。

「彼善男子難陀勝念正知者,是善男子難陀觀察東方,一心正念,安住觀察;觀察南、西、北方,亦復如是。一心正念,安住觀察。如是觀者,世間貪、愛、惡不善法不漏其心。彼善男子難陀覺諸受起,覺諸受住,覺諸受滅,正念而住,不令散亂;覺諸想起,覺諸想住,覺諸想滅,覺諸覺起,覺諸覺住,覺諸覺滅,正念心住,不令散亂,是名善男子難陀正念正智成就。

「是故,諸比丘!當作是學:『關閉根門,如善男子難陀;飲食知量,如善男子難陀;初夜、后夜精勤修業,如善男子難陀;正念正智成就,如善男子難陀

現代漢語譯本:如果諸眼根增長不符合戒律的行為,被無明的黑暗遮蔽,世間的貪婪、愛慾、邪惡和不善的念頭不侵入他的內心,那麼就會產生各種戒律;守護眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意六根,產生各種戒律,這叫做難陀比丘關閉根門。 現代漢語譯本:『飲食知量』,難陀比丘對於食物的攝取會仔細考量:『不爲了炫耀自己,不放縱慾望,不貪戀食物的色香味,不追求華麗的裝飾,只是爲了維持身體的需要。無論得到什麼食物,都只是爲了止住飢渴,爲了修行清凈的行為。因此,讓已經產生的痛苦感覺平息,讓尚未產生的痛苦感覺不產生,從而成就修行目標。這樣才能保持精力充沛、身心安樂,沒有罪惡的煩惱。就像人乘坐馬車,塗上油脂,不是爲了炫耀自己,甚至不是爲了裝飾,而是爲了運輸貨物。又像塗抹傷口,不是貪圖味道,而是爲了止痛。』像這樣,善男子難陀知道適量地飲食,乃至沒有罪惡的煩惱,這叫做難陀知道適量地飲食。 現代漢語譯本:『彼善男子難陀初夜、后夜精勤修業』,難陀白天會通過經行和坐禪來消除內心的障礙,凈化身心。在初夜時分,通過經行和坐禪來消除內心的障礙,凈化身心。在中夜時分,在房外洗凈雙腳,進入房間,右側臥下,雙膝彎曲,雙腳疊放,保持正念,心中想著醒來的時刻。在後夜時分,慢慢地醒來,然後起身經行和坐禪,這叫做善男子難陀初夜、后夜精勤修習。 現代漢語譯本:『彼善男子難陀勝念正知』,這位善男子難陀觀察東方,一心正念,安住于觀察;觀察南方、西方、北方,也是如此。一心正念,安住于觀察。像這樣觀察,世間的貪婪、愛慾、邪惡和不善的念頭就不會侵入他的內心。這位善男子難陀覺知各種感受的生起,覺知各種感受的持續,覺知各種感受的滅去,保持正念而住,不讓心散亂;覺知各種念頭的生起,覺知各種念頭的持續,覺知各種念頭的滅去;覺知各種覺知的生起,覺知各種覺知的持續,覺知各種覺知的滅去,保持正念而住,不讓心散亂,這叫做善男子難陀成就正念正智。 現代漢語譯本:『因此,諸位比丘!應當這樣學習:『關閉根門,像善男子難陀那樣;飲食知量,像善男子難陀那樣;初夜、后夜精勤修業,像善男子難陀那樣;成就正念正智,像善男子難陀那樣。』

English version: If the sense faculties of the eyes increase without restraint, are obscured by the darkness of ignorance, and worldly greed, desire, evil, and unwholesome thoughts do not penetrate his mind, then various precepts arise; guarding the faculties of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, various precepts arise. This is called Nanda Bhikkhu closing the doors of the senses. English version: 'Knowing the measure of food,' Nanda Bhikkhu carefully considers his intake of food: 'Not for self-aggrandizement, not for indulgence, not for attachment to the color and flavor of food, not for seeking luxurious adornment, but only to sustain the body. Whatever food is obtained, it is only to stop hunger and thirst, for the sake of practicing pure conduct. Therefore, to let the suffering that has arisen cease, and to prevent the suffering that has not arisen from arising, thereby achieving the goal of practice. In this way, one can maintain energy, peace of mind and body, and be free from the defilement of sin. Just as a person rides in a carriage, applying oil, not for self-aggrandizement, nor even for adornment, but for transporting goods. And like applying ointment to a wound, not for the sake of taste, but to relieve pain.' In this way, the good man Nanda knows the measure of food, and is free from the defilement of sin. This is called Nanda knowing the measure of food. English version: 'That good man Nanda diligently cultivates in the first and last watches of the night,' Nanda spends the day walking and meditating to remove inner obstacles and purify his mind and body. In the first watch of the night, he walks and meditates to remove inner obstacles and purify his mind and body. In the middle watch of the night, he washes his feet outside the room, enters the room, lies down on his right side, with his knees bent and his feet stacked, maintaining mindfulness, thinking of the time to wake up. In the last watch of the night, he slowly wakes up, then gets up to walk and meditate. This is called the good man Nanda diligently cultivating in the first and last watches of the night. English version: 'That good man Nanda is superior in mindfulness and clear comprehension,' this good man Nanda observes the east, with one-pointed mindfulness, abiding in observation; he observes the south, west, and north in the same way. With one-pointed mindfulness, he abides in observation. Observing in this way, worldly greed, desire, evil, and unwholesome thoughts will not penetrate his mind. This good man Nanda is aware of the arising of various feelings, aware of the continuation of various feelings, aware of the cessation of various feelings, abiding in mindfulness, not letting his mind wander; aware of the arising of various thoughts, aware of the continuation of various thoughts, aware of the cessation of various thoughts; aware of the arising of various perceptions, aware of the continuation of various perceptions, aware of the cessation of various perceptions, abiding in mindfulness, not letting his mind wander. This is called the good man Nanda achieving right mindfulness and clear comprehension. English version: 'Therefore, bhikkhus! You should learn in this way: 'Closing the doors of the senses, like the good man Nanda; knowing the measure of food, like the good man Nanda; diligently cultivating in the first and last watches of the night, like the good man Nanda; achieving right mindfulness and clear comprehension, like the good man Nanda.'


。』如教授難陀法,亦當持是為其餘人說。」

時,有異比丘而說偈言:

「善關閉根門,  正念攝心住,  飲食知節量,  覺知諸心相,  善男子難陀,  世尊之所嘆。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二七六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,有如是像類大聲聞尼眾住舍衛國王園中。比丘尼眾其名曰:純陀比丘尼、民陀比丘尼、摩羅婆比丘尼、波羅遮羅比丘尼、阿羅毗迦比丘尼、差摩比丘尼、難摩比丘尼、吉離舍瞿曇彌比丘尼、優缽羅色比丘尼、摩訶波阇波提比丘尼,此等及余比丘尼住王園中。

爾時,摩訶波阇波提比丘尼與五百比丘尼前後圍繞,來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。爾時,世尊為摩訶波阇波提比丘尼說法,示、教、照、喜;種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,發遣令還。言:「比丘尼!應時宜去。」

摩訶波阇波提比丘尼聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

爾時,世尊知摩訶波阇波提比丘尼去已,告諸比丘:「我年已老邁,不復堪能為諸比丘尼說法,汝等諸比丘僧,今日諸宿德上座,當教授諸比丘尼。」

時,諸比丘受世尊教,次第教授比丘尼,次至難陀。爾時,難陀次第應至而不欲教授。

爾時,摩訶波阇波提比丘尼與五百比丘尼前後圍繞,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,乃至聞法,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去

現代漢語譯本:『如果像教導難陀那樣教導佛法,也應當堅持這樣為其他人宣說。』 當時,有一位比丘說了偈語: 『善於關閉根門,正念攝持心意安住,飲食知道節制,覺察各種心念的生起,善男子難陀,是世尊所讚歎的。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (二七六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有像這樣的大聲聞比丘尼眾住在舍衛國王園中。比丘尼眾的名字是:純陀比丘尼、民陀比丘尼、摩羅婆比丘尼、波羅遮羅比丘尼、阿羅毗迦比丘尼、差摩比丘尼、難摩比丘尼、吉離舍瞿曇彌比丘尼、優缽羅色比丘尼、摩訶波阇波提比丘尼,這些以及其他比丘尼住在王園中。 當時,摩訶波阇波提比丘尼與五百比丘尼前後圍繞,來到佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。當時,世尊為摩訶波阇波提比丘尼說法,開示、教導、啓發、使之歡喜;用種種說法,開示、教導、啓發、使之歡喜后,遣送她們回去。說:『比丘尼們!應該及時離去。』 摩訶波阇波提比丘尼聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮離去。 當時,世尊知道摩訶波阇波提比丘尼離開后,告訴眾比丘:『我年事已高,不再能夠為眾比丘尼說法,你們這些比丘僧,今天這些年長有德的上座,應當教導眾比丘尼。』 當時,眾比丘接受世尊的教導,依次教導比丘尼,輪到難陀。當時,難陀輪到應當教導卻不願意教導。 當時,摩訶波阇波提比丘尼與五百比丘尼前後圍繞,來到世尊所在的地方,頂禮佛足,乃至聽聞佛法,歡喜隨喜,作禮離去。

English version: 『If the Dharma is taught as it was to Nanda, it should be upheld and spoken to others as well.』 At that time, a certain bhikkhu spoke these verses: 『Well-guarded are the doors of the senses, with mindfulness the mind is settled, knowing moderation in food, aware of the various states of mind, the good man Nanda, is praised by the World Honored One.』 After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (276) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there was a large assembly of bhikkhunis, great disciples, residing in the King's Park in Shravasti. The names of the bhikkhunis were: Bhikkhuni Chunda, Bhikkhuni Minda, Bhikkhuni Malavika, Bhikkhuni Parachala, Bhikkhuni Alavika, Bhikkhuni Chama, Bhikkhuni Nanda, Bhikkhuni Kilisagotami, Bhikkhuni Utpalavarna, Bhikkhuni Mahaprajapati, and these and other bhikkhunis were residing in the King's Park. At that time, Bhikkhuni Mahaprajapati, surrounded by five hundred bhikkhunis, came to where the Buddha was, bowed her head at his feet, and sat down to one side. At that time, the World Honored One taught the Dharma to Bhikkhuni Mahaprajapati, instructing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening her; after instructing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening her with various teachings, he dismissed them, saying: 『Bhikkhunis! It is time for you to leave.』 Bhikkhuni Mahaprajapati, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and followed along, bowed and departed. At that time, the World Honored One, knowing that Bhikkhuni Mahaprajapati had left, said to the bhikkhus: 『I am old and no longer able to teach the Dharma to the bhikkhunis. You bhikkhus, today those of you who are senior and virtuous, should teach the bhikkhunis.』 At that time, the bhikkhus received the Buddha's teaching and taught the bhikkhunis in turn, until it came to Nanda. At that time, Nanda was next in line to teach but was unwilling to do so. At that time, Bhikkhuni Mahaprajapati, surrounded by five hundred bhikkhunis, came to where the World Honored One was, bowed her head at his feet, and even heard the Dharma, rejoiced and followed along, bowed and departed.


爾時,世尊知摩訶波阇波提比丘尼去已,問尊者阿難:「誰應次至教授諸比丘尼?」

尊者阿難白佛言:「世尊!諸上座次第教授比丘尼,次至難陀,而難陀不欲教授。」

爾時,世尊告難陀言:「汝當教授諸比丘尼,為諸比丘尼說法。所以者何?我自教授比丘尼,汝亦應爾;我為比丘尼說法,汝亦應爾。」

爾時,難陀默然受教。

時,難陀夜過晨朝,著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,入室坐禪。從禪覺,著僧伽梨將一比丘往詣王園,諸比丘尼遙見尊者難陀來,疾敷床座,請令就坐,尊者難陀坐已,諸比丘尼稽首敬禮,退坐一面。尊者難陀語諸比丘尼:「諸姊妹!汝等當問我,今當爲汝等說法。汝等解者,當說言解;若不解者,當說不解。於我所說義,若當解者,當善受持;若不解者,汝當更問,當爲汝說。」

諸比丘尼白尊者難陀言:「我等今日聞尊者教,令我等問,告我等言:『汝等若未解者,今悉當問;已解者當言解,未解者當言不解。於我所說義,已解者當奉持,未解者當復更問。』我等聞此,心大歡喜,未解義者,今日當問。」

爾時,尊者難陀告諸比丘尼:「云何?姊妹!于眼內入處觀察,是我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也,尊者難陀!」

「耳、鼻、舌、身、意內入處觀察,是我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也,尊者難陀!所以者何?尊者難陀!我等已曾於此法如實知見,於六內入處觀察無我,我等已曾作如是意解:『六內入處無我

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊知道摩訶波阇波提比丘尼離開后,問尊者阿難:『誰應該接替去教導那些比丘尼呢?』 尊者阿難回答佛說:『世尊!各位上座依次教導比丘尼,接下來輪到難陀,但是難陀不願意教導。』 當時,世尊告訴難陀說:『你應該教導那些比丘尼,為比丘尼說法。為什麼呢?我親自教導比丘尼,你也應該這樣;我為比丘尼說法,你也應該這樣。』 當時,難陀默默地接受了教誨。 那時,難陀在夜晚過去,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,進入房間坐禪。從禪定中醒來,穿上僧伽梨,帶著一位比丘前往王園。那些比丘尼遠遠地看見尊者難陀來了,趕緊鋪好床座,請他坐下。尊者難陀坐下後,那些比丘尼向他頂禮,然後退到一旁坐下。尊者難陀對那些比丘尼說:『各位姐妹!你們應該問我,我現在要為你們說法。你們理解的,就說理解;如果不理解的,就說不理解。對於我所說的道理,如果理解了,就應該好好接受並奉行;如果不理解,你們就應該再問,我會為你們講解。』 那些比丘尼對尊者難陀說:『我們今天聽了尊者的教誨,讓我們提問,告訴我們說:『你們如果還不理解的,現在都可以問;已經理解的就說理解,不理解的就說不理解。對於我所說的道理,已經理解的就應該奉行,不理解的就應該再問。』我們聽了這些話,心裡非常高興,對於不理解的道理,今天就要提問。』 當時,尊者難陀告訴那些比丘尼:『怎麼樣?姐妹們!觀察眼內入處,是『我』、『異我』,還是『相在』呢?』 回答說:『不是的,尊者難陀!』 『觀察耳、鼻、舌、身、意內入處,是『我』、『異我』,還是『相在』呢?』 回答說:『不是的,尊者難陀!為什麼呢?尊者難陀!我們曾經對這個法如實地知見,觀察六內入處是無我的,我們曾經這樣理解:『六內入處是無我的。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One, knowing that Mahapajapati Bhikkhuni had departed, asked the Venerable Ananda, 'Who should next go to instruct the bhikkhunis?' Venerable Ananda replied to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! The senior monks have been instructing the bhikkhunis in turn, and it is now Nanda's turn, but Nanda does not wish to instruct them.' At that time, the World Honored One said to Nanda, 'You should instruct the bhikkhunis and teach them the Dharma. Why is that? I myself instruct the bhikkhunis, and you should do likewise; I teach the Dharma to the bhikkhunis, and you should do likewise.' At that time, Nanda silently accepted the teaching. Then, after the night had passed, Nanda, in the morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered Savatthi to beg for food. After eating, he returned to the monastery, put away his robes and bowl, washed his feet, and entered his room to meditate. After awakening from meditation, he put on his sanghati and, taking a bhikkhu with him, went to the King's Park. The bhikkhunis, seeing Venerable Nanda coming from afar, quickly spread out seats and invited him to sit. After Venerable Nanda sat down, the bhikkhunis bowed in reverence and sat to one side. Venerable Nanda said to the bhikkhunis, 'Sisters! You should ask me, and I will now teach you the Dharma. If you understand, say that you understand; if you do not understand, say that you do not understand. If you understand the meaning of what I say, you should accept and uphold it well; if you do not understand, you should ask again, and I will explain it to you.' The bhikkhunis said to Venerable Nanda, 'Today we have heard the Venerable's teaching, which tells us to ask questions, saying, 'If you do not yet understand, you should ask now; if you understand, say that you understand, and if you do not understand, say that you do not understand. If you understand the meaning of what I say, you should uphold it, and if you do not understand, you should ask again.' Hearing this, we are very happy, and we will ask about the meanings we do not understand today.' At that time, Venerable Nanda said to the bhikkhunis, 'How is it, sisters? When observing the internal eye-base, is it 'self,' 'other than self,' or 'located in relation to self'?' They replied, 'No, Venerable Nanda!' 'When observing the internal ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind-bases, are they 'self,' 'other than self,' or 'located in relation to self'?' They replied, 'No, Venerable Nanda! Why is that? Venerable Nanda! We have already truly seen and known this Dharma, observing that the six internal bases are without self, and we have understood it in this way: 'The six internal bases are without self.'

You should observe this meaning in this way: 「These six bodies of feeling are truly not-self.」 With the eye and form as conditions, eye-consciousness arises; the coming together of these three is contact; with contact as condition, perception arises. Is that perception 'I', different from 'I', or within 'I'?' They replied, 'No, Venerable Nanda!' 'With the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, and mental objects as conditions, consciousness arises; the coming together of these three is contact; with contact as condition, perception arises. Is that perception 'I', different from 'I', or within 'I'?' They replied, 'No, Venerable Nanda! Why is that? We have truly observed these six bodies of perception as not-self, and we always understand it this way: the six bodies of perception are truly not-self.' Venerable Nanda said to the nuns, 'Good! Good! Nuns! You should observe this meaning in this way: 「These six bodies of perception are truly not-self.」 With the eye and form as conditions, eye-consciousness arises; the coming together of these three is contact; with contact as condition, thought arises.

。』緣眼、色,生眼識,三事和合觸,觸緣愛,彼愛是我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也,尊者難陀!」

「耳、鼻、舌、身、意法緣生意識,三事和合觸,觸緣愛,彼愛是我、異我、相在不?」

答言:「不也,尊者難陀!所以者何?我曾於此六愛身如實觀察無我,我常作此意解:『此六愛身如實無我。』」

尊者難陀告諸比丘尼:「汝於此義應如是觀察:『此六愛身如實無我。』姊妹!譬因膏油、因炷,燈明得然;彼油無常,炷亦無常,火亦無常,器亦無常。若有作是言:『無油、無炷、無火、無器,而所依起燈光,常、恒、住、不變易。』作是說者,為等說不?」

答言:「不也,尊者難陀!所以者何?緣油、炷、器然燈,彼油、炷、器悉無常;若無油、無炷、無器,所依燈光亦復隨滅、息、沒、清涼、真實。」

「如是,姊妹!此六內入處無常。若有說言:『此六內入處因緣生喜樂,常、恒、住、不變易、安隱。』是為等說不?」

答言:「不也,尊者難陀!所以者何?我等曾如實觀察,彼彼法緣生彼彼法;彼彼緣法滅,彼彼生法亦復隨滅、息、沒、清涼、真實。」

尊者難陀告諸比丘尼:「善哉!善哉!比丘尼!汝於此義應如是觀察:『彼彼法緣生彼彼法,彼彼法緣滅,彼彼生法亦復隨滅、息、沒、寂靜、清涼、真實。』諸姊妹!譬如大樹根、莖、枝、葉,根亦無常,莖、枝、葉皆悉無常

現代漢語譯本 『眼緣於色,產生眼識,這三者和合而有觸,觸緣于愛,這愛是我、異於我、還是存在於我之中呢?』 回答說:『不是的,尊者難陀!』 『耳、鼻、舌、身、意緣於法產生意識,這三者和合而有觸,觸緣于愛,這愛是我、異於我、還是存在於我之中呢?』 回答說:『不是的,尊者難陀!為什麼呢?我曾對這六種愛慾之身如實觀察,發現其中沒有我,我常常這樣理解:這六種愛慾之身確實沒有我。』 尊者難陀告訴眾比丘尼:『你們對於這個道理應該這樣觀察:這六種愛慾之身確實沒有我。』姐妹們!譬如因為膏油、因為燈芯,燈火才能點燃;那油是無常的,燈芯也是無常的,火也是無常的,燈具也是無常的。如果有人說:『沒有油、沒有燈芯、沒有火、沒有燈具,而所依附產生的燈光,是常住、恒久、不變易的。』這樣說,是正確的嗎? 回答說:『不是的,尊者難陀!為什麼呢?因為油、燈芯、燈具才能點燃燈,而油、燈芯、燈具都是無常的;如果沒有油、沒有燈芯、沒有燈具,所依附的燈光也會隨之熄滅、停止、消失、清涼、真實。』 『同樣,姐妹們!這六種內在的感官也是無常的。如果有人說:這六種內在的感官因緣而生的喜樂,是常住、恒久、不變易、安穩的。』這樣說是正確的嗎? 回答說:『不是的,尊者難陀!為什麼呢?我們曾如實觀察,那些法因緣而生那些法;那些因緣法滅,那些生法也隨之熄滅、停止、消失、清涼、真實。』 尊者難陀告訴眾比丘尼:『好啊!好啊!比丘尼們!你們對於這個道理應該這樣觀察:那些法因緣而生那些法,那些法因緣滅,那些生法也隨之熄滅、停止、消失、寂靜、清涼、真實。』姐妹們!譬如大樹的根、莖、枝、葉,根也是無常的,莖、枝、葉也都是無常的。

English version 'Eye, conditioned by form, gives rise to eye-consciousness; the coming together of these three is contact; contact conditions feeling; is that feeling 'I', 'other than I', or 'located in I'?' They replied, 'No, Venerable Nanda!' 'Ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, conditioned by mental objects, give rise to consciousness; the coming together of these three is contact; contact conditions feeling; is that feeling 'I', 'other than I', or 'located in I'?' They replied, 'No, Venerable Nanda! Why is that? Because I have truly observed this sixfold body of feeling and found no self in it. I constantly understand this: this sixfold body of feeling is truly without self.' Venerable Nanda told the nuns, 'You should observe this meaning in this way: this sixfold body of feeling is truly without self.' Sisters! It is like a lamp that is lit because of oil and a wick; that oil is impermanent, the wick is also impermanent, the fire is also impermanent, and the container is also impermanent. If someone were to say: 'Without oil, without a wick, without fire, without a container, the light that arises is permanent, constant, enduring, and unchanging,' would that be correct? They replied, 'No, Venerable Nanda! Why is that? Because the lamp is lit by oil, wick, and container, and the oil, wick, and container are all impermanent; if there is no oil, no wick, no container, the light that depends on them will also cease, be extinguished, disappear, become cool, and be real.' 'Likewise, sisters! These six internal sense bases are impermanent. If someone were to say: 'The joy and pleasure that arise from these six internal sense bases are permanent, constant, enduring, unchanging, and secure,' would that be correct?' They replied, 'No, Venerable Nanda! Why is that? Because we have truly observed that those things arise from those conditions; when those conditions cease, those things that arise also cease, are extinguished, disappear, become cool, and are real.' Venerable Nanda told the nuns, 'Well said! Well said! Nuns! You should observe this meaning in this way: those things arise from those conditions, when those conditions cease, those things that arise also cease, are extinguished, disappear, become peaceful, cool, and real.' Sisters! Just like a large tree with roots, trunk, branches, and leaves, the roots are also impermanent, and the trunk, branches, and leaves are all impermanent.


。若有說言:『無彼樹根、莖、枝、葉,唯有其影常、恒、住、不變易、安隱者,為等說不?』」

答言:「不也,尊者難陀!所以者何?如彼大樹根、莖、枝、葉,彼根亦無常,莖、枝、葉亦復無常,無根、無莖、無枝、無葉,所依樹影,一切悉無。」

「諸姊妹!若緣外六入處無常,若言外六入處因緣生喜樂,恒、住、不變易、安隱者,此為等說不?」

答言:「不也,尊者難陀!所以者何?我曾於此義如實觀察,彼彼法緣生彼彼法,彼彼法緣滅;彼彼生法亦復隨滅、息、沒、寂靜、清涼、真實。」

尊者難陀告諸比丘尼:「善哉!善哉!姊妹!汝於此義當如實觀察:『彼彼法緣生彼彼法,彼彼法緣滅,彼彼生法亦復隨滅、息、沒、寂滅、清涼、真實。』諸姊妹!聽我說譬,夫智者因譬得解。譬如善屠牛師、屠牛弟子手執利刀,解剝其牛,乘間而剝,不傷內肉、不傷外皮,解其枝節筋骨,然後還以皮覆其上。若有人言:『此牛皮肉全而不離。』為等說不?」

答言:「不也,尊者難陀!所以者何?彼善屠牛師、屠牛弟子手執利刀,乘間而剝,不傷皮肉,枝節筋骨悉皆斷截,還以皮覆上,皮肉已離,非不離也。」

「姊妹!我說所譬,今當說義。牛者譬人身粗色……」如篋毒蛇經廣說。

「肉者謂內六入處,外皮者謂外六入處,屠牛者謂學見跡,皮肉中間筋骨者謂貪喜俱,利刀者謂利智慧。多聞聖弟子以智慧利刀斷截一切結、縛、使、煩惱、上煩惱、纏

現代漢語譯本:如果有人說:『沒有那樹的根、莖、枝、葉,只有它的影子是常、恒、住、不變易、安穩的,這樣說是正確的嗎?』 回答說:『不正確,尊者難陀!為什麼呢?因為那大樹的根、莖、枝、葉,那根也是無常的,莖、枝、葉也都是無常的,沒有根、沒有莖、沒有枝、沒有葉,所依附的樹影,一切都將不存在。』 『諸位姐妹!如果緣于外六入處是無常的,卻說外六入處因緣所生的喜樂是恒常、住、不變易、安穩的,這樣說是正確的嗎?』 回答說:『不正確,尊者難陀!為什麼呢?我曾對此義如實觀察,此法因緣生彼法,此法因緣滅;此生法也隨之滅、息、沒、寂靜、清涼、真實。』 尊者難陀告訴眾比丘尼:『好啊!好啊!姐妹們!你們對此義應當如實觀察:『此法因緣生彼法,此法因緣滅,此生法也隨之滅、息、沒、寂滅、清涼、真實。』諸位姐妹!聽我說個譬喻,有智慧的人能從譬喻中得到理解。譬如一個善於屠牛的屠夫或屠牛的弟子,手持利刀,解剖那牛,在空隙處下刀,不傷及內肉,也不傷及外皮,解開它的枝節筋骨,然後又用皮覆蓋在上面。如果有人說:『這牛的皮肉是完整不分離的。』這樣說是正確的嗎?』 回答說:『不正確,尊者難陀!為什麼呢?因為那善於屠牛的屠夫或屠牛的弟子手持利刀,在空隙處下刀,不傷及皮肉,枝節筋骨都已斷截,再用皮覆蓋在上面,皮肉已經分離,並非沒有分離。』 『姐妹們!我所說的譬喻,現在來說明它的意義。牛比喻人的身體粗色……』如同《篋毒蛇經》所廣說。 『肉比喻內六入處,外皮比喻外六入處,屠牛者比喻學習見道的修行者,皮肉中間的筋骨比喻貪慾和喜悅,利刀比喻銳利的智慧。多聞的聖弟子用智慧的利刀斷截一切結、縛、使、煩惱、上煩惱、纏縛。』

English version: If someone were to say, 'Without the roots, stems, branches, and leaves of that tree, only its shadow is constant, permanent, abiding, unchangeable, and secure,' would that be a correct statement?' The answer is, 'No, Venerable Nanda! Why is that? Because the roots, stems, branches, and leaves of that great tree, the roots are also impermanent, the stems, branches, and leaves are also impermanent. Without roots, without stems, without branches, without leaves, the shadow that depends on them, everything will not exist.' 'Sisters! If, because the six external sense bases are impermanent, one were to say that the joy and pleasure arising from the conditions of the six external sense bases are constant, permanent, abiding, unchangeable, and secure, would that be a correct statement?' The answer is, 'No, Venerable Nanda! Why is that? I have truly observed this meaning, that when this condition arises, that phenomenon arises; when this condition ceases, that phenomenon ceases; and that which arises also ceases, subsides, disappears, becomes tranquil, cool, and real.' Venerable Nanda said to the nuns, 'Well said! Well said! Sisters! You should truly observe this meaning: 'When this condition arises, that phenomenon arises; when this condition ceases, that phenomenon ceases; and that which arises also ceases, subsides, disappears, becomes tranquil, cool, and real.' Sisters! Listen to my parable, for the wise understand through parables. For example, a skilled butcher or a butcher's apprentice, holding a sharp knife, dissects a cow, cutting in the spaces, not harming the inner flesh, nor harming the outer skin, separating its limbs and bones, and then covering it with the skin again. If someone were to say, 'The skin and flesh of this cow are whole and not separated,' would that be a correct statement?' The answer is, 'No, Venerable Nanda! Why is that? Because that skilled butcher or butcher's apprentice, holding a sharp knife, cuts in the spaces, not harming the skin and flesh, the limbs and bones are all severed, and then the skin is placed over it again. The skin and flesh have already separated, they are not unseparated.' 'Sisters! What I have said is a parable, now I will explain its meaning. The cow is a metaphor for the coarse form of the human body...' as explained in detail in the 'Basket of Poisonous Snakes Sutra'. 'The flesh is a metaphor for the six internal sense bases, the outer skin is a metaphor for the six external sense bases, the butcher is a metaphor for the practitioner who is learning the path of seeing, the tendons and bones between the skin and flesh are a metaphor for greed and joy, and the sharp knife is a metaphor for sharp wisdom. The learned noble disciple uses the sharp knife of wisdom to cut off all fetters, bonds, defilements, afflictions, higher afflictions, and entanglements.'


。是故,諸姊妹!當如是學:『于所可樂法,心不應著,斷除貪故;所可瞋法,不應生瞋,斷除瞋故;所可癡法,不應生癡,斷除癡故。於五受陰,當觀生滅;於六觸入處,當觀集滅;於四念處,當善繫心。住七覺分,修七覺分已,于其欲漏,心不緣著,心得解脫;于其有漏,心不緣著,心得解脫;于無明漏,心不緣著,心得解脫。』諸姊妹!當如是學。」

爾時,尊者難陀為諸比丘尼說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,從座起去。時,摩訶波阇波提比丘尼與五百比丘尼眷屬圍繞,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面,乃至為佛作禮而去。

爾時,世尊知摩訶波阇波提比丘尼去已,告諸比丘:「譬如明月十四日夜,多眾觀月,為是滿耶?為未滿耶?當知彼月未究竟滿。如是,善男子難陀為五百比丘尼正教授、正說法,于其解脫猶未究竟。然此等比丘尼命終之時,不見一結不斷,能使彼還生於此世。」

爾時,世尊復告難陀:「更為諸比丘尼說法。」

爾時,尊者難陀默然奉教,夜過晨朝,持缽入城乞食,食已,乃至往詣王園,就座而坐,為諸比丘尼說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,從座起去。摩訶波阇波提比丘尼復于異時與五百比丘尼前後圍繞,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,乃至作禮而去。

爾時,世尊知摩訶波阇波提比丘尼去已,告諸比丘:「譬如明月十五日夜,無有人疑月滿不滿者,然其彼月究竟圓滿。如是,善男子難陀為諸比丘尼說如是正教授,究竟解脫;若命終時,無有說彼道路所趣,此當知即是苦邊

現代漢語譯本:所以,各位姐妹!應當這樣學習:『對於令人喜愛的法,內心不應執著,因為要斷除貪慾;對於令人嗔恨的法,不應生起嗔恨,因為要斷除嗔恨;對於令人愚癡的法,不應生起愚癡,因為要斷除愚癡。對於五種受陰,應當觀察它們的生起和滅去;對於六種觸入處,應當觀察它們的集起和滅去;對於四種念處,應當好好地繫念於心。安住於七覺支,修習七覺支之後,對於欲漏,內心不再執著,心得解脫;對於有漏,內心不再執著,心得解脫;對於無明漏,內心不再執著,心得解脫。』各位姐妹!應當這樣學習。』 當時,尊者難陀為各位比丘尼說法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,從座位起身離去。當時,摩訶波阇波提比丘尼與五百位比丘尼眷屬圍繞,前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立,乃至向佛陀作禮后離去。 當時,世尊知道摩訶波阇波提比丘尼離去後,告訴各位比丘:『譬如明月在十四日的夜晚,許多人觀看月亮,會想它是圓滿的嗎?還是未圓滿呢?應當知道那時的月亮還未完全圓滿。同樣地,善男子難陀為五百位比丘尼正確地教導、正確地說法,她們的解脫仍然未達到究竟。然而這些比丘尼在臨終之時,不會看到有一個結縛未斷,能使她們再次投生到這個世間。』 當時,世尊又告訴難陀:『再次為各位比丘尼說法。』 當時,尊者難陀默默地接受教誨,夜晚過去,早晨拿著缽進入城中乞食,吃完飯後,乃至前往王園,就座而坐,為各位比丘尼說法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,從座位起身離去。摩訶波阇波提比丘尼又在其他時間與五百位比丘尼前後圍繞,前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,乃至作禮后離去。 當時,世尊知道摩訶波阇波提比丘尼離去後,告訴各位比丘:『譬如明月在十五日的夜晚,沒有人會懷疑月亮是否圓滿,然而那時的月亮是究竟圓滿的。同樣地,善男子難陀為各位比丘尼說如此正確的教導,她們的解脫是究竟的;如果她們臨終之時,沒有辦法說出她們所趣向的道路,這應當知道就是苦的終結。』

English version: Therefore, sisters, you should train yourselves thus: 『Towards what is pleasing, the mind should not be attached, because of abandoning greed; towards what is displeasing, anger should not arise, because of abandoning anger; towards what is delusive, delusion should not arise, because of abandoning delusion. Regarding the five aggregates of clinging, you should observe their arising and passing away; regarding the six sense bases, you should observe their arising and cessation; regarding the four foundations of mindfulness, you should well establish your minds. Dwelling in the seven factors of enlightenment, having cultivated the seven factors of enlightenment, regarding the outflow of sensual desire, the mind is not attached, and the mind is liberated; regarding the outflow of becoming, the mind is not attached, and the mind is liberated; regarding the outflow of ignorance, the mind is not attached, and the mind is liberated.』 Sisters, you should train yourselves thus.』 At that time, the venerable Nanda taught the nuns, instructing, guiding, illuminating, and gladdening them; having instructed, guided, illuminated, and gladdened them, he rose from his seat and departed. Then, Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī, surrounded by a retinue of five hundred nuns, went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at his feet, stood to one side, and after paying homage to the Buddha, departed. Then, the Blessed One, knowing that Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī had departed, said to the monks: 『Just as on the fourteenth night of the bright moon, many people look at the moon, wondering whether it is full or not yet full, it should be known that the moon is not yet completely full. Similarly, the good man Nanda has correctly instructed and taught the five hundred nuns, but their liberation is not yet complete. However, when these nuns die, they will not see a single fetter unbroken that would cause them to be reborn in this world.』 Then, the Blessed One said to Nanda: 『Teach the nuns again.』 Then, the venerable Nanda silently accepted the teaching. After the night had passed, in the morning, he took his bowl and entered the city for alms. Having eaten, he went to the King』s Park, sat down, and taught the nuns, instructing, guiding, illuminating, and gladdening them; having instructed, guided, illuminated, and gladdened them, he rose from his seat and departed. Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī, at another time, surrounded by a retinue of five hundred nuns, went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at his feet, and after paying homage, departed. Then, the Blessed One, knowing that Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī had departed, said to the monks: 『Just as on the fifteenth night of the bright moon, no one doubts whether the moon is full or not, but that moon is completely full. Similarly, the good man Nanda has given such correct instruction to the nuns that their liberation is complete; if at the time of their death, there is no way to say where they are going, it should be known that this is the end of suffering.』

English version This was when the World Honored One gave the first fruit prediction to five hundred bhikkhunis. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(277) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'There are non-restraint and restraint. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.' 'What is non-restraint? The eye faculty is not protected by restraint. When eye consciousness encounters form, due to attachment, painful feelings arise; because of painful feelings, one cannot be of one mind; because one cannot be of one mind, one cannot know and see things as they truly are; because one cannot know and see things as they truly are, one cannot be free from doubt; because one cannot be free from doubt, one is misled by others and constantly dwells in suffering. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. This is called non-restraint.' 'What is restraint? The eye faculty is protected by restraint. When eye consciousness recognizes form, the mind does not become attached; having not become attached, one dwells in constant joy; having dwelt in joy, one is constantly of one mind; having become of one mind, one knows and sees things as they truly are; having known and seen things as they truly are, one is free from all doubts; having been free from all doubts, one is not misled by others and dwells in constant peace. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. This is called restraint.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(278) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'There are ways of decline, ways of non-decline, and the six sense bases. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.' 'What is the way of decline? It is when eye consciousness encounters form and generates a desire, and that bhikkhu rejoices, praises, grasps, clings, and follows that dharma, then know that this bhikkhu will decline from all good dharmas. This is what the World Honored One calls the way of decline. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.' 'What is called the way of non-decline? When eye consciousness encounters form and generates a bond of desire, that bhikkhu does not rejoice, does not praise, does not grasp, does not cling, and does not follow that dharma, then know that this bhikkhu will not decline from all good dharmas. This is what the World Honored One calls the way of non-decline. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.' 'What are the six superior sense bases? When eye consciousness encounters form, it does not generate desire, bonds, or attachments, then know that this bhikkhu has overcome that sense base.'


。勝彼入處,是世尊所說。耳、鼻、舌、身、意、亦復如是。若彼比丘於六勝入處勝已,貪慾結斷,瞋恚、愚癡結斷。譬如王者,摧敵勝怨,名曰勝王;斷除眾結,名勝婆羅門。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二七九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「於此六根不調伏、不關閉、不守護、不執持、不修習,于未來世必受苦報。

「何等為六根?眼根不調伏、不關閉、不守護、不修習、不執持,于未來世必受苦報;耳、鼻、舌、身、意根亦復如是。愚癡無聞凡夫眼根見色,執受相,執受隨形好,任彼眼根趣向,不律儀執受,住世間貪、愛、惡不善法,以漏其心,此等不能執持律儀,防護眼根。耳、鼻、舌、身、意根,亦復如是。如是於六根不調伏、不關閉、不守護、不執持、不修習,于未來世必受苦報。

「云何六根善調伏、善關閉、善守護、善執持、善修習,于未來世必受樂報?多聞聖弟子眼見色,不取色相,不取隨形好,任其眼根之所趣向,常住律儀,世間貪、愛、惡不善法不漏其心,能生律儀,善護眼根。耳、鼻、舌、身、意根,亦復如是。如是六根善調伏、善關閉、善守護、善執持、善修習,于未來世必受樂報。」

即說偈言:

「於六觸入處,  住于不律儀,  是等諸比丘,  長夜受大苦。  斯等於律儀,  常當勤修習,  正信心不二,  諸漏不漏心。  眼見於彼色,  可意不可意,  可意不生欲,  不可不憎惡

現代漢語譯本:

『戰勝這些進入之處,是世尊所說的。』耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。如果那位比丘在六種勝入處獲得勝利,貪慾的束縛就會斷除,嗔恚和愚癡的束縛也會斷除。譬如一位國王,擊敗敵人,戰勝怨敵,被稱為『勝王』;斷除一切束縛,被稱為『勝婆羅門』。」

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

(二七九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果這六根不加以調伏、不關閉、不守護、不執持、不修習,未來世必定會遭受苦報。』

『哪六根呢?眼根不調伏、不關閉、不守護、不修習、不執持,未來世必定會遭受苦報;耳、鼻、舌、身、意根也是如此。愚癡無聞的凡夫,眼根見到色塵,就執著於它的表象,執著於它的細微之處,任由眼根的趨向,不加以約束地執著,心中充滿世間的貪慾、愛戀、邪惡和不善之法,從而使心漏失,這些人不能執持戒律,防護眼根。耳、鼻、舌、身、意根也是如此。像這樣,如果六根不加以調伏、不關閉、不守護、不執持、不修習,未來世必定會遭受苦報。』

『怎樣才能使六根得到善調伏、善關閉、善守護、善執持、善修習,從而在未來世獲得樂報呢?多聞的聖弟子,眼睛看到色塵,不執著於它的表象,不執著於它的細微之處,任由眼根的趨向,常住于戒律,世間的貪慾、愛戀、邪惡和不善之法不會漏入心中,能夠生起戒律,善於守護眼根。耳、鼻、舌、身、意根也是如此。像這樣,如果六根得到善調伏、善關閉、善守護、善執持、善修習,未來世必定會獲得樂報。』

佛陀即說偈語:

『對於六種觸入之處, 如果住在不律儀中, 這些比丘們, 將長夜遭受大苦。 這些人應該在律儀中, 常常勤奮地修習, 以正信不二的心, 使諸漏不漏入心中。 眼睛看到那些色塵, 無論是可意的還是不可意的, 對於可意的不會生起貪慾, 對於不可意的不會生起憎惡。』 現代漢語譯本:

English version:

'Conquering these entrances, is what the World Honored One has said.' The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are also the same. If that bhikkhu has conquered the six entrances of victory, the fetter of craving will be broken, and the fetters of hatred and delusion will be broken. Just like a king who defeats his enemies and conquers his foes is called a 'victorious king'; one who has broken all fetters is called a 'victorious Brahmin.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.

(279)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus, 'If these six senses are not subdued, not closed, not guarded, not held, and not cultivated, in the future they will surely suffer the consequences of suffering.'

'What are the six senses? The eye sense not subdued, not closed, not guarded, not cultivated, and not held, in the future will surely suffer the consequences of suffering; the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind senses are also the same. A foolish, unlearned ordinary person, when the eye sense sees a form, clings to its appearance, clings to its fine details, allows the eye sense to go where it pleases, clings without restraint, and fills the mind with worldly greed, love, evil, and unwholesome dharmas, thus causing the mind to leak. These people cannot hold to the precepts and protect the eye sense. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind senses are also the same. Like this, if the six senses are not subdued, not closed, not guarded, not held, and not cultivated, in the future they will surely suffer the consequences of suffering.'

'How can the six senses be well subdued, well closed, well guarded, well held, and well cultivated, so that in the future one will receive the reward of happiness? A well-learned noble disciple, when the eye sees a form, does not grasp its appearance, does not grasp its fine details, allows the eye sense to go where it pleases, always dwells in the precepts, and worldly greed, love, evil, and unwholesome dharmas do not leak into the mind. They are able to generate precepts and are good at guarding the eye sense. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind senses are also the same. Like this, if the six senses are well subdued, well closed, well guarded, well held, and well cultivated, in the future one will surely receive the reward of happiness.'

The Buddha then spoke in verse:

'For the six entrances of contact, If one dwells in non-restraint, These bhikkhus, Will suffer great pain for a long night. These people should in the precepts, Always diligently cultivate, With right faith and non-duality, So that the outflows do not leak into the mind. When the eye sees those forms, Whether pleasing or displeasing, For the pleasing, no desire arises, For the displeasing, no hatred arises.' English version:

。  耳聞彼諸聲,  亦有念不念,  于念不樂著,  不念不起惡。  鼻根之所嗅,  若香若臭物,  等心於香臭,  無慾亦無違。  所食于眾味,  彼亦有美惡,  美味不起貪,  惡味亦不擇。  樂觸以觸身,  不生於放逸,  為苦觸所觸,  不生過惡想。  平等舍苦樂,  不滅者令滅,  心意所觀察,  彼種彼種相。  虛偽而分別,  欲貪轉增廣,  覺悟彼諸惡,  安住離欲心。  善攝此六根,  六境觸不動,  摧伏眾魔怨,  度生死彼岸。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二八〇)

如是我聞:

一時,世尊在拘薩羅國人間遊行,到頻頭城北申恕林中。

爾時,頻頭城中,婆羅門長者皆聞世尊于拘薩羅國人間遊行,住頻頭城申恕林中。聞已,悉共出城,至申恕林,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告頻頭城婆羅門長者:「若人問汝言:『何等像類沙門、婆羅門不應恭敬、尊重、禮事、供養?』汝當答言:『若沙門、婆羅門眼見色,未離貪、未離欲、未離愛、未離渴、未離念,內心不寂靜,所行非法,所行疏澀行。耳、鼻、舌、身、意法亦復如是。如是像類比丘,不應恭敬、尊重、禮事、供養。』

「作是說已,當復問言:『何故如此像類沙門、婆羅門,不應恭敬、尊重、禮事、供養?』汝應答言:『我等眼見色,不離欲、不離愛、不離渴、不離念,內心不寂靜。耳、鼻、舌、身、意法亦復如是

現代漢語譯本 聽到那些聲音,心中也會有念頭生起或不生起。 對於念頭,不執著于喜歡,對於沒有念頭,也不會產生厭惡。 鼻子所聞到的,無論是香還是臭的東西, 都以平等的心對待香和臭,沒有慾望也沒有厭惡。 所吃到的各種味道,其中也有好壞之分, 對於美味不生起貪婪,對於惡味也不挑剔。 當身體接觸到舒適的觸感時,不會因此而放縱自己, 當身體接觸到痛苦的觸感時,也不會產生過分的負面想法。 平等地對待苦和樂,對於那些應該滅除的,就讓它滅除。 心中所觀察到的,是各種各樣的現象。 虛妄地分別,只會讓慾望和貪婪更加增長。 覺悟到這些惡念,安住于遠離慾望的心。 善於控制這六根,使六種境界的接觸都不能動搖你的心。 摧毀所有的魔障和怨恨,度過生死的彼岸。

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

(二八〇)

如是我聞:

一時,世尊在拘薩羅國游化人間,到達頻頭城的北邊的申恕林中。

當時,頻頭城中的婆羅門長者們都聽說世尊在拘薩羅國游化人間,住在頻頭城的申恕林中。聽聞后,他們都一起出城,來到申恕林,去到世尊那裡,頂禮佛足,然後退坐在一旁。

這時,世尊告訴頻頭城的婆羅門長者們:『如果有人問你們說:「什麼樣的沙門、婆羅門不應該恭敬、尊重、禮拜、供養?」你們應當回答說:「如果沙門、婆羅門眼睛看到顏色,還沒有離開貪慾、沒有離開慾望、沒有離開愛戀、沒有離開渴求、沒有離開執念,內心不平靜,行為不符合正法,行為粗疏。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念對法也是如此。這樣的沙門、婆羅門,不應該恭敬、尊重、禮拜、供養。」』

『說完這些,如果他們又問:「為什麼這樣的沙門、婆羅門不應該恭敬、尊重、禮拜、供養?」你們應當回答說:「我們眼睛看到顏色,沒有離開慾望、沒有離開愛戀、沒有離開渴求、沒有離開執念,內心不平靜。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念對法也是如此。」』

English version Hearing those sounds, there are thoughts that arise or do not arise. Regarding thoughts, do not cling to liking them, and regarding the absence of thoughts, do not generate aversion. What the nose smells, whether fragrant or foul, Treat fragrance and foulness with an equal mind, without desire or aversion. The various flavors that are eaten, among them there are good and bad, Do not generate greed for delicious flavors, and do not be picky about bad flavors. When the body experiences pleasant touch, do not become indulgent, When the body experiences painful touch, do not generate excessive negative thoughts. Treat suffering and pleasure equally, and let those that should be extinguished be extinguished. What the mind observes are various kinds of phenomena. False discrimination only increases desire and greed. Awaken to these evil thoughts, and dwell in a mind free from desire. Be skilled in controlling these six senses, so that contact with the six realms cannot shake your mind. Destroy all demonic obstacles and hatred, and cross the shore of birth and death.

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.

(Two hundred and eighty)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the World Honored One was traveling in the Kosala country, and arrived at the Shenshu Grove north of the city of Pindou.

At that time, the Brahmin elders of the city of Pindou all heard that the World Honored One was traveling in the Kosala country and was staying in the Shenshu Grove of Pindou. Having heard this, they all left the city together, came to the Shenshu Grove, went to the World Honored One, bowed at his feet, and then sat down to one side.

At this time, the World Honored One said to the Brahmin elders of the city of Pindou: 'If someone asks you, "What kind of Shramanas and Brahmins should not be respected, honored, revered, and offered to?" you should answer, "If a Shramana or Brahmin sees a color with his eyes, and has not yet left greed, has not left desire, has not left love, has not left craving, has not left attachment, and his mind is not peaceful, his behavior is not in accordance with the Dharma, and his behavior is coarse. The same is true for the ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind regarding the Dharma. Such Shramanas and Brahmins should not be respected, honored, revered, and offered to."'

'Having said this, if they ask again, "Why should such Shramanas and Brahmins not be respected, honored, revered, and offered to?" you should answer, "When we see a color with our eyes, we have not left desire, have not left love, have not left craving, have not left attachment, and our minds are not peaceful. The same is true for the ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind regarding the Dharma."'


。彼沙門、婆羅門眼見色,亦不離貪、不離欲、不離愛、不離渴、不離念,內心不寂靜,行非法,行疏澀行。耳、鼻、舌、身、意法亦復如是。我於斯等求其差別,不見差別之行。是故我於斯等像類沙門、婆羅門不應恭敬、尊重、禮事、供養。』

「若復問言:『何等像類沙門、婆羅門所應恭敬、尊重、禮事、供養?』汝應答言:『若彼眼見色,離貪、離欲、離愛、離渴、離念,內心寂靜,不行非法行,行等行,不疏澀行。耳、鼻、舌、身、意法亦復如是。如是像類沙門、婆羅門所應恭敬、尊重、禮事、供養。』

「若復問言:『何故於此像類沙門、婆羅門恭敬、尊重、禮事、供養?』汝應答言:『我等眼見色,不離貪、不離欲、不離愛、不離渴、不離念,內心不寂靜,行非法行,行疏澀行。耳、鼻、舌、身、意法亦復如是。』斯等像類沙門、婆羅門離貪、離欲、離渴、離念,內心寂靜,行如法行,不行疏澀行。耳、鼻、舌、身、意法亦復如是。我等於彼,求其差別,見差別故,于彼像類沙門、婆羅門所應恭敬、尊重、禮事、供養

現代漢語譯本:那些沙門和婆羅門,當他們眼睛看到事物時,仍然無法擺脫貪婪、慾望、愛戀、渴求和執念,內心無法平靜,行為不符合正道,行為粗糙生澀。他們的耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體和意念對外界的感知也是如此。我試圖在他們之間找出差別,卻看不到任何行為上的差別。因此,對於這類沙門和婆羅門,我不應該恭敬、尊重、禮拜和供養。 如果有人問:『那麼,什麼樣的沙門和婆羅門才值得恭敬、尊重、禮拜和供養呢?』你應該回答說:『如果他們眼睛看到事物時,能夠擺脫貪婪、慾望、愛戀、渴求和執念,內心平靜,行為符合正道,行為平等,不粗糙生澀。他們的耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體和意念對外界的感知也是如此。這樣的沙門和婆羅門才值得恭敬、尊重、禮拜和供養。』 如果有人再問:『為什麼對這樣的沙門和婆羅門恭敬、尊重、禮拜和供養呢?』你應該回答說:『我們自己眼睛看到事物時,無法擺脫貪婪、慾望、愛戀、渴求和執念,內心無法平靜,行為不符合正道,行為粗糙生澀。我們的耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體和意念對外界的感知也是如此。』而這些沙門和婆羅門卻能擺脫貪婪、慾望、渴求和執念,內心平靜,行為符合正道,不粗糙生澀。他們的耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體和意念對外界的感知也是如此。我們試圖在他們之間找出差別,看到了這種差別,所以我們應該對這樣的沙門和婆羅門恭敬、尊重、禮拜和供養。

English version: Those ascetics and Brahmins, when their eyes see forms, still cannot be free from greed, desire, love, craving, and attachment; their minds are not tranquil; their actions are not in accordance with the Dharma; their actions are coarse and unrefined. Their ears, noses, tongues, bodies, and minds are also the same in their perceptions of the external world. I have tried to find differences among them, but I see no difference in their conduct. Therefore, I should not respect, honor, venerate, or make offerings to such ascetics and Brahmins. If someone asks: 'Then, what kind of ascetics and Brahmins are worthy of respect, honor, veneration, and offerings?' You should answer: 'If they, when their eyes see forms, can be free from greed, desire, love, craving, and attachment; their minds are tranquil; their actions are in accordance with the Dharma; their actions are equal and not coarse or unrefined. Their ears, noses, tongues, bodies, and minds are also the same in their perceptions of the external world. Such ascetics and Brahmins are worthy of respect, honor, veneration, and offerings.' If someone further asks: 'Why respect, honor, venerate, and make offerings to such ascetics and Brahmins?' You should answer: 'When we ourselves see forms with our eyes, we cannot be free from greed, desire, love, craving, and attachment; our minds are not tranquil; our actions are not in accordance with the Dharma; our actions are coarse and unrefined. Our ears, noses, tongues, bodies, and minds are also the same in their perceptions of the external world.' But these ascetics and Brahmins can be free from greed, desire, craving, and attachment; their minds are tranquil; their actions are in accordance with the Dharma, and not coarse or unrefined. Their ears, noses, tongues, bodies, and minds are also the same in their perceptions of the external world. We have tried to find differences between them, and having seen this difference, we should respect, honor, venerate, and make offerings to such ascetics and Brahmins.


「如是說已,若復問言:『彼沙門、婆羅門有何行?有何形貌?有何相?汝等知是沙門、婆羅門離貪、向調伏貪,離恚、向調伏恚,離癡、向調伏癡?』汝應答言:『我見彼沙門、婆羅門有如是像類,在空閑處、林中樹下、卑床草蓐,修行遠離,離諸女人,近樂獨人,同禪思者;若於彼處,無眼見色可生樂著,無耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸可生樂著,若彼沙門、婆羅門有如是行、如是形貌、如是相,令我等知是沙門,婆羅門離貪、向調伏貪,離恚、向調伏恚,離癡、向調伏癡。』」

時,諸沙門、婆羅門長者白佛言:「奇哉!世尊!不自譽、不毀他,正說其義,各各自於諸入處,分別染污清凈,廣說緣起,如如來、應、等正覺說。譬如士夫,溺者能救,閉者能開,迷者示路,闇處然燈。世尊亦復如是。不自譽、不毀他,正說其義,乃至如如來、應、等正覺說。」

爾時,頻頭城婆羅門長者聞佛所說,歡喜作禮而去。

(二八一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有縈發目揵連出家來詣佛所,共相問訊,問訊已,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告縈發目揵連:「汝從何來?」

縈發目揵連白佛言:「我從彼眾多種種異道沙門、婆羅門、遮羅迦出家,集會未曾講堂聽法,從彼林來。」

佛告縈發目揵連:「汝為何等福力故,從彼眾多種種異道沙門、婆羅門、遮羅迦出家所聽其說法?」

縈發目揵連言:「我試聽其競勝論義福利,聽其相違反論議福利故

現代漢語譯本 『如此說后,如果再有人問:『那些沙門、婆羅門有什麼樣的行為?有什麼樣的外貌?有什麼樣的特徵?你們如何知道這些沙門、婆羅門是遠離貪慾、趨向調伏貪慾,遠離嗔恚、趨向調伏嗔恚,遠離愚癡、趨向調伏愚癡的呢?』你們應該回答說:『我看到那些沙門、婆羅門有這樣的形象,他們住在空閑之處、林中樹下、簡陋的床鋪或草墊上,修行遠離塵世,遠離各種女人,喜歡獨處,與禪修者為伴;在那些地方,沒有眼睛所見的美色會讓他們產生貪戀,沒有耳朵聽到的聲音、鼻子聞到的香氣、舌頭嚐到的味道、身體感受到的觸感會讓他們產生貪戀。如果那些沙門、婆羅門有這樣的行為、這樣的外貌、這樣的特徵,我們就可以知道這些沙門、婆羅門是遠離貪慾、趨向調伏貪慾,遠離嗔恚、趨向調伏嗔恚,遠離愚癡、趨向調伏愚癡的。』 當時,那些沙門、婆羅門中的長者們對佛陀說:『真是奇妙啊!世尊!您不自我讚揚,也不詆譭他人,只是正確地闡述真理,各自在各種感官入口處,分別說明染污和清凈的道理,廣泛地講述緣起,就像如來、應供、正等覺所說的那樣。譬如一個人,能救助溺水者,能打開被封閉的門,能為迷路者指明道路,能在黑暗的地方點亮燈火。世尊也是如此。不自我讚揚,也不詆譭他人,只是正確地闡述真理,乃至就像如來、應供、正等覺所說的那樣。』 當時,頻頭城的婆羅門長者聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地行禮后離開了。 (二八一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位名叫縈發目犍連的出家人來到佛陀所在的地方,互相問候之後,退坐在一旁。 這時,世尊告訴縈發目犍連:『你從哪裡來?』 縈發目犍連回答佛陀說:『我從那些各種不同外道的沙門、婆羅門、遮羅迦出家的地方來,他們從未在講堂聽法,我從他們所在的林中來。』 佛陀告訴縈發目犍連:『你因為什麼樣的福德,從那些各種不同外道的沙門、婆羅門、遮羅迦出家的地方聽他們說法?』 縈發目犍連說:『我嘗試聽他們辯論勝負的利益,聽他們互相矛盾的論議的利益。』

English version 'Having said this, if they were to ask again: 『What conduct do those ascetics and Brahmins have? What appearance do they have? What are their characteristics? How do you know that these ascetics and Brahmins are detached from greed, inclined to subdue greed, detached from hatred, inclined to subdue hatred, detached from delusion, inclined to subdue delusion?』 You should answer: 『I see those ascetics and Brahmins with such characteristics, dwelling in secluded places, under trees in forests, on humble beds or grass mats, practicing detachment, avoiding women, enjoying solitude, and associating with those who meditate; in those places, no sights that please the eye cause them to be attached, no sounds, smells, tastes, or bodily sensations cause them to be attached. If those ascetics and Brahmins have such conduct, such appearance, such characteristics, we know that these ascetics and Brahmins are detached from greed, inclined to subdue greed, detached from hatred, inclined to subdue hatred, detached from delusion, inclined to subdue delusion.』' Then, the elders among those ascetics and Brahmins said to the Buddha: 『Wonderful, Venerable One! You do not praise yourself, nor do you disparage others, but you speak the truth correctly, each in their respective sensory entrances, distinguishing between defilement and purity, extensively explaining dependent origination, just as the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One has spoken. It is like a person who can rescue the drowning, open the closed, show the way to the lost, and light a lamp in the darkness. The Venerable One is also like that. Not praising yourself, nor disparaging others, but speaking the truth correctly, even as the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One has spoken.』 At that time, the Brahmin elder of Pinducity, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced, paid homage, and departed. (281) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, a renunciate named Ekapinduka Moggallana came to where the Buddha was, exchanged greetings, and sat down to one side. Then, the Blessed One said to Ekapinduka Moggallana: 『Where have you come from?』 Ekapinduka Moggallana replied to the Buddha: 『I have come from those various ascetics, Brahmins, and wanderers of different sects, who have never heard the Dharma in a lecture hall; I have come from the forest where they dwell.』 The Buddha said to Ekapinduka Moggallana: 『For what merit have you listened to the teachings of those various ascetics, Brahmins, and wanderers of different sects?』 Ekapinduka Moggallana said: 『I tried to listen to the benefit of their competitive debates, and to the benefit of their contradictory arguments.』

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴目犍連:『長久以來,各種不同教派的沙門、婆羅門、遮羅迦出家人互相競爭,辯論各自的優越之處,互相破壞對方的理論和利益。』 縈發目犍連問佛陀:『瞿曇!您為弟子們宣說何種教法,能讓他們轉告他人時,不誹謗如來,不增不減,真實地說,如法地說,依法次序地說,沒有其他人能來比較、詰難、責備?』 佛陀告訴目犍連:『宣說明和解脫的果報利益,轉告他人時,不誹謗如來,不違背真理,依法次序地說,沒有人能來比較、詰難、責備。』 縈發目犍連問佛陀:『瞿曇!弟子們有沒有一種法,通過修習和多次修習,能使明和解脫的利益圓滿?』 佛陀告訴縈發目犍連:『有七覺支,通過修習和多次修習,能使明和解脫的利益圓滿。』 縈發目犍連問佛陀:『有沒有一種法,通過修習,能使七覺支圓滿?』 佛陀告訴縈發目犍連:『有四念處,通過修習和多次修習,能使七覺支圓滿。』 縈發目犍連問佛陀:『有沒有一種法,通過修習和多次修習,能使四念處圓滿?』 佛陀告訴縈發目犍連:『有三種妙行,通過修習和多次修習,能使四念處圓滿。』 縈發目犍連問佛陀:『有沒有一種法,通過修習和多次修習,能使三種妙行圓滿?』 佛陀告訴目犍連:『有六觸入處的律儀,通過修習和多次修習,能使三種妙行圓滿。』 縈發目犍連問佛陀:『如何通過修習和多次修習六觸入處的律儀,能使三種妙行圓滿?』 佛陀告訴目犍連:『如果眼睛看到適意、可愛、能增長慾望和快樂、令人執著的顏色,這位比丘看到后,不歡喜、不讚嘆、不攀緣、不執著、不住留;如果眼睛看到不適意、不可愛、順應痛苦感覺的顏色,這位比丘看到后,不畏懼、不厭惡、不嫌棄、不嗔恨。』

English version The Buddha told Maudgalyayana, 'For a long time, various ascetics, Brahmins, and Parivrajakas of different paths have been competing, arguing about the superiority of their own doctrines, and destroying each other's theories and benefits.' Eṇi-Maudgalyayana asked the Buddha, 'Gautama! What kind of Dharma do you teach your disciples so that when they pass it on to others, they do not slander the Tathagata, do not add or subtract, speak truthfully, speak according to the Dharma, and speak in accordance with the Dharma, and no one else can come to compare, challenge, or criticize?' The Buddha told Maudgalyayana, 'When explaining the benefits of enlightenment and liberation, and passing it on to others, they do not slander the Tathagata, do not go against the truth, speak in accordance with the Dharma, and no one can come to compare, challenge, or criticize.' Eṇi-Maudgalyayana asked the Buddha, 'Gautama! Is there a Dharma that disciples can practice and cultivate repeatedly to perfect the benefits of enlightenment and liberation?' The Buddha told Eṇi-Maudgalyayana, 'There are the seven factors of enlightenment, which, through practice and repeated cultivation, can perfect the benefits of enlightenment and liberation.' Eṇi-Maudgalyayana asked the Buddha, 'Is there a Dharma that, through practice, can perfect the seven factors of enlightenment?' The Buddha told Eṇi-Maudgalyayana, 'There are the four foundations of mindfulness, which, through practice and repeated cultivation, can perfect the seven factors of enlightenment.' Eṇi-Maudgalyayana asked the Buddha, 'Is there a Dharma that, through practice and repeated cultivation, can perfect the four foundations of mindfulness?' The Buddha told Eṇi-Maudgalyayana, 'There are the three good conducts, which, through practice and repeated cultivation, can perfect the four foundations of mindfulness.' Eṇi-Maudgalyayana asked the Buddha, 'Is there a Dharma that, through practice and repeated cultivation, can perfect the three good conducts?' The Buddha told Maudgalyayana, 'There is the restraint of the six sense bases, which, through practice and repeated cultivation, can perfect the three good conducts.' Eṇi-Maudgalyayana asked the Buddha, 'How does the restraint of the six sense bases, through practice and repeated cultivation, perfect the three good conducts?' The Buddha told Maudgalyayana, 'If the eye sees a color that is pleasing, lovely, capable of increasing desire and pleasure, and causing attachment, that bhikkhu, having seen it, does not rejoice, does not praise, does not cling, does not attach, and does not dwell on it; if the eye sees a color that is displeasing, unlovely, and conducive to painful feelings, that bhikkhu, having seen it, does not fear, does not dislike, does not despise, and does not hate.'


。于彼好色,起眼見已,永不緣著;不好色,起眼見已,永不緣著;內心安住不動,善修解脫,心不懈倦。耳、鼻、舌、身、意識法亦復如是。如是於六觸入修習多修習,滿足三妙行。

「云何修三妙行,滿足四念處?多聞聖弟子于空閑處、林中、樹下,作如是學、如是思惟:『此身惡行,現世、後世必得惡報。我若行身惡行者,必當自生厭悔,他亦嫌薄,大師亦責,諸梵行者亦復以法而嫌我;惡名流佈,遍於諸方,身壞命終,當墮地獄。于身惡行,見現世、後世如是果報,是故除身惡行,修身妙行,口、意惡行亦復如是。』是名修習三妙行已,得四念處清凈滿足。

「云何修四念處?得七覺分滿足?目揵連比丘!如是順身身觀住,彼順身身觀住時,攝念安住不忘。爾時,方便修習念覺分,方便修習念覺分已,得念覺分滿足,于彼心念選擇於法,覺想思量。爾時,方便修習擇法覺分,方便修習擇法覺分已,逮得擇法覺分滿足,選擇彼法,覺想思量。方便修習精進覺分,方便修習精進覺分已,逮得精進覺分滿足,勤精進已,生歡喜心。爾時,修習方便歡喜覺分,修習歡喜覺分已,逮得歡喜覺分滿足,心歡喜已,身心止息。爾時,修習猗息覺分,修習猗息覺分已,逮得猗息覺分滿足,身心息已,得三摩提。爾時,修習定覺分,修習定覺分已,定覺分滿足,謂一其心,貪憂滅息,內身行舍,方便修習舍覺分,方便修習舍覺分已,逮得舍覺分清凈滿足。受、心、法念處,亦如是說。如是修習四念處、七覺分滿足

現代漢語譯本:對於那些美好的事物,當眼睛看到時,永遠不會產生執著;對於那些不美好的事物,當眼睛看到時,也永遠不會產生執著;內心安住不動搖,善於修習解脫之道,心不懈怠疲倦。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識對法的感知也是如此。像這樣在六種感官接觸處進行修習,反覆修習,就能圓滿三種妙行。 現代漢語譯本:『如何修習三種妙行,圓滿四念處呢?』多聞的聖弟子在空閑的地方、樹林中、樹下,這樣學習、這樣思考:『這種身體的惡行,今生來世必定會得到惡報。如果我做了身體的惡行,必定會自己產生厭惡和後悔,別人也會嫌棄我,大師也會責備我,其他修行者也會依法嫌棄我;惡名會傳播到各個地方,身壞命終后,會墮入地獄。』對於身體的惡行,看到今生來世這樣的果報,所以要去除身體的惡行,修習身體的妙行,口和意念的惡行也是如此。這叫做修習三種妙行后,得到四念處的清凈圓滿。 現代漢語譯本:『如何修習四念處,得到七覺分的圓滿呢?』目犍連比丘!像這樣順著身體觀察身體而住,當他順著身體觀察身體而住時,攝持正念安住而不忘失。這時,方便修習念覺分,方便修習念覺分后,得到念覺分的圓滿;對於法,用心念選擇,覺察、思考。這時,方便修習擇法覺分,方便修習擇法覺分后,得到擇法覺分的圓滿;選擇那些法,覺察、思考。方便修習精進覺分,方便修習精進覺分后,得到精進覺分的圓滿;勤奮精進后,生起歡喜心。這時,修習方便歡喜覺分,修習歡喜覺分后,得到歡喜覺分的圓滿;心歡喜后,身心止息。這時,修習猗息覺分,修習猗息覺分后,得到猗息覺分的圓滿;身心止息后,得到三摩地。這時,修習定覺分,修習定覺分后,定覺分圓滿,使心專注,貪慾和憂愁滅息,內在的身體行為捨棄,方便修習舍覺分,方便修習舍覺分后,得到舍覺分的清凈圓滿。對於感受、心念、法的念處,也是這樣說的。像這樣修習四念處,七覺分就圓滿了。

English version: Regarding those beautiful things, when the eyes see them, they will never be attached; regarding those unbeautiful things, when the eyes see them, they will also never be attached; the mind dwells peacefully and unmoving, skillfully cultivating the path of liberation, the mind is not lazy or weary. The perception of the ears, nose, tongue, body, and consciousness towards the Dharma is also the same. By practicing in this way at the six sense contacts, repeatedly practicing, one can perfect the three excellent conducts. English version: 'How does one cultivate the three excellent conducts to perfect the four foundations of mindfulness?' A well-learned noble disciple, in a secluded place, in the forest, under a tree, learns and contemplates in this way: 'These evil actions of the body will surely bring evil consequences in this life and the next. If I commit evil actions of the body, I will surely generate self-disgust and regret, others will also despise me, the master will also rebuke me, and other practitioners will also despise me according to the Dharma; the bad reputation will spread to all places, and after the body is destroyed and life ends, I will fall into hell.' Seeing such consequences in this life and the next for the evil actions of the body, therefore, one should remove the evil actions of the body and cultivate the excellent actions of the body, and the evil actions of the mouth and mind are also the same. This is called cultivating the three excellent conducts and obtaining the pure perfection of the four foundations of mindfulness. English version: 'How does one cultivate the four foundations of mindfulness to obtain the perfection of the seven factors of enlightenment?' O, Maudgalyayana Bhikkhu! In this way, dwelling observing the body in the body, when he dwells observing the body in the body, he gathers mindfulness and dwells without forgetting. At this time, he conveniently cultivates the mindfulness enlightenment factor, and after conveniently cultivating the mindfulness enlightenment factor, he obtains the perfection of the mindfulness enlightenment factor; regarding the Dharma, he chooses with his mind, perceives, and contemplates. At this time, he conveniently cultivates the investigation of Dharma enlightenment factor, and after conveniently cultivating the investigation of Dharma enlightenment factor, he obtains the perfection of the investigation of Dharma enlightenment factor; he chooses those Dharmas, perceives, and contemplates. He conveniently cultivates the effort enlightenment factor, and after conveniently cultivating the effort enlightenment factor, he obtains the perfection of the effort enlightenment factor; after diligent effort, he generates a joyful mind. At this time, he cultivates the joy enlightenment factor, and after cultivating the joy enlightenment factor, he obtains the perfection of the joy enlightenment factor; after the mind is joyful, the body and mind are at rest. At this time, he cultivates the tranquility enlightenment factor, and after cultivating the tranquility enlightenment factor, he obtains the perfection of the tranquility enlightenment factor; after the body and mind are at rest, he obtains Samadhi. At this time, he cultivates the concentration enlightenment factor, and after cultivating the concentration enlightenment factor, the concentration enlightenment factor is perfected, making the mind focused, greed and sorrow cease, the inner bodily actions are abandoned, he conveniently cultivates the equanimity enlightenment factor, and after conveniently cultivating the equanimity enlightenment factor, he obtains the pure perfection of the equanimity enlightenment factor. The foundations of mindfulness for feelings, mind, and Dharma are also spoken of in this way. In this way, by cultivating the four foundations of mindfulness, the seven factors of enlightenment are perfected.


「云何修習七覺分?明、解脫滿足?目揵連!若比丘修念覺分,依遠離、依離欲、依滅舍,于進趣修念覺分,逮得明、解脫清凈滿足。乃至修習舍覺分,亦如是說,是名修習七覺分已,明、解脫清凈滿足。如是,目揵連!法法相律,從此岸而到彼岸。」

說是法時,縈發目揵連遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。時,縈發目揵連見法、得法、知法、入法,度諸疑惑,不由於他,于諸法、律得無所畏。從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛言:「我今寧得於正法、律出家,得具足比丘分不?」

佛告目揵連:「汝今已得於正法、律出家,具足得比丘分,得出家已,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至成阿羅漢。」

(二八二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦微伽羅牟真鄰陀林中。

時,有年少名郁多羅,是波羅奢那弟子,來詣佛所,恭敬問訊已,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告郁多羅:「汝師波羅奢那為汝等說修諸根不?」

郁多羅言:「說已,瞿曇!」

佛告郁多羅:「汝師波羅奢那云何說修諸根?」

郁多羅白佛言:「我師波羅奢那說,眼不見色,耳不聽聲,是名修根。」

佛告郁多羅:「若如汝波羅奢那說,盲者是修根不?所以者何?如唯盲者眼不見色。」

爾時,尊者阿難在世尊后,執扇扇佛,尊者阿難語郁多言:「如波羅奢那所說,聾者是修根不?所以者何?如唯聾者耳不聞聲。」

爾時,世尊告尊者阿難:「異於賢聖法、律無上修諸根

現代漢語譯本: 『如何修習七覺支?以達到明、解脫的圓滿?目犍連!如果比丘修習念覺支,依于遠離、依于離欲、依于滅盡而捨棄,在精進修習念覺支時,就能獲得明、解脫的清凈圓滿。乃至修習舍覺支,也應如此說,這稱為修習七覺支后,達到明、解脫的清凈圓滿。如此,目犍連!法與法之間相互關聯,由此岸到達彼岸。』 當佛陀宣說此法時,縈發目犍連遠離塵垢,獲得法眼清凈。當時,縈發目犍連見法、得法、知法、入法,度脫一切疑惑,不依賴他人,對於諸法和戒律都無所畏懼。他從座位起身,整理衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛陀說:『我現在能否在正法和戒律中出家,獲得具足比丘的資格呢?』 佛陀告訴目犍連:『你現在已經可以在正法和戒律中出家,具足獲得比丘的資格。出家后,要專心精進思惟,不放逸,直至成就阿羅漢。』

(二八二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在迦微伽羅牟真鄰陀林中。 當時,有一位名叫郁多羅的年輕人,是波羅奢那的弟子,來到佛陀所在之處,恭敬地問候后,退坐在一旁。 這時,世尊告訴郁多羅:『你的老師波羅奢那是否教導你們如何修習諸根?』 郁多羅說:『教導過了,瞿曇!』 佛陀告訴郁多羅:『你的老師波羅奢那如何教導修習諸根?』 郁多羅回答佛陀說:『我的老師波羅奢那說,眼睛不看顏色,耳朵不聽聲音,這稱為修習諸根。』 佛陀告訴郁多羅:『如果像你的老師波羅奢那所說,那麼盲人算是修習諸根嗎?為什麼呢?因為只有盲人才看不到顏色。』 這時,尊者阿難在世尊身後,拿著扇子為佛陀扇風,尊者阿難對郁多羅說:『按照波羅奢那所說,那麼聾子算是修習諸根嗎?為什麼呢?因為只有聾人才聽不到聲音。』 這時,世尊告訴尊者阿難:『與賢聖法和戒律中無上的修習諸根方法不同,'

English version: 'How does one cultivate the seven factors of enlightenment to achieve the fulfillment of clear understanding and liberation? Moggallana! If a bhikkhu cultivates the mindfulness factor of enlightenment, relying on seclusion, relying on dispassion, relying on cessation, and progresses in cultivating the mindfulness factor of enlightenment, he attains the clear understanding and liberation that is pure and complete. The same should be said for cultivating the equanimity factor of enlightenment. This is called cultivating the seven factors of enlightenment, thereby achieving the clear understanding and liberation that is pure and complete. Thus, Moggallana! The laws are interconnected, leading from this shore to the other shore.' When the Buddha spoke this Dharma, the venerable Moggallana, with his hair still bound, was cleansed of defilements and gained the pure Dharma eye. At that time, the venerable Moggallana, with his hair still bound, saw the Dharma, attained the Dharma, knew the Dharma, entered the Dharma, transcended all doubts, was not dependent on others, and was fearless in all Dharmas and precepts. He rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, bowed to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha, 'May I now be ordained in the true Dharma and precepts, and attain the full status of a bhikkhu?' The Buddha told Moggallana, 'You are now ordained in the true Dharma and precepts, and have fully attained the status of a bhikkhu. Having been ordained, you should diligently contemplate, abide without negligence, and eventually become an Arhat.'

(282) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, in the vicinity of Savatthi. At that time, there was a young man named Uttara, a disciple of Parasara, who came to where the Buddha was, respectfully greeted him, and sat down to one side. Then, the Blessed One said to Uttara, 'Does your teacher Parasara teach you how to cultivate the senses?' Uttara said, 'He does, Gotama!' The Buddha said to Uttara, 'How does your teacher Parasara teach the cultivation of the senses?' Uttara replied to the Buddha, 'My teacher Parasara says that not seeing colors with the eyes and not hearing sounds with the ears is called cultivating the senses.' The Buddha said to Uttara, 'If it is as your teacher Parasara says, then is a blind person cultivating the senses? Why is that? Because only a blind person does not see colors.' At that time, the venerable Ananda was behind the Blessed One, fanning the Buddha with a fan. The venerable Ananda said to Uttara, 'According to what Parasara says, then is a deaf person cultivating the senses? Why is that? Because only a deaf person does not hear sounds.' Then, the Blessed One said to the venerable Ananda, 'Different from the noble Dharma and precepts is the supreme cultivation of the senses.'

阿難白佛言:「唯愿世尊為諸比丘說賢聖法、律無上修根,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告阿難:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。緣眼、色,生眼識,見可意色,欲修如來厭離正念正智。眼、色緣生眼識,不可意故,修如來不厭離正念正智,眼、色緣生眼識,可意不可意,欲修如來厭離、不厭離正念正智。眼、色緣生眼識,不可意可意,欲修如來不厭離、厭離正念正智。眼、色緣生眼識,可意不可意,可不可意,欲修如來厭、不厭、俱離舍心住正念正智。

「如是,阿難!若有於此五句,心善調伏、善關閉、善守護、善攝持、善修習,是則于眼、色無上修根。耳、鼻、舌、身、意法亦如是說。阿難!是名賢聖法,律無上修根。」

尊者阿難白佛言:「世尊!云何賢聖法、律為賢聖修根?」

佛告阿難:「眼、色緣生眼識,生可意,生不可意,生可意不可意。彼聖弟子如是如實知:『我眼、色緣生眼識,生可意,生不可意,生可意不可意,此則寂滅,此則勝妙,所謂俱舍;得彼舍已,離厭、不厭。譬如力士頃。如是眼、色緣生眼識生可意,生不可意,生可意不可意,俄爾盡滅,得離厭、不厭,舍。』

阿難對佛說:『世尊,請為眾比丘宣說賢聖之法、戒律中無上的修行根基,眾比丘聽聞后,定當接受並奉行。』 佛告訴阿難:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。因眼和色塵,產生眼識,見到可喜的,就修習如來的厭離、正念和正智。因眼和色塵產生眼識,見到不可喜的,就修習如來的不厭離、正念和正智。因眼和色塵產生眼識,見到既可喜又不可喜的,就修習如來的厭離和不厭離的正念和正智。因眼和色塵產生眼識,見到不可喜又可喜的,就修習如來的不厭離和厭離的正念和正智。因眼和色塵產生眼識,見到可喜、不可喜、既可喜又不可喜的,就修習如來的厭離、不厭離、俱離的舍心,安住于正念和正智。 『阿難,如果有人能在這五種情況下,善於調伏內心、善於關閉感官、善於守護心念、善於攝持心意、善於修習,那麼他就能在眼和色塵上達到無上的修行根基。耳、鼻、舌、身、意和法也是如此。阿難,這稱為賢聖之法,戒律中無上的修行根基。』 尊者阿難對佛說:『世尊,如何理解賢聖之法、戒律是賢聖的修行根基呢?』 佛告訴阿難:『因眼和色塵產生眼識,產生可喜的感受,產生不可喜的感受,產生既可喜又不可喜的感受。這位聖弟子如實地知道:『我的眼和色塵產生眼識,產生可喜的感受,產生不可喜的感受,產生既可喜又不可喜的感受,這些感受都會寂滅,這是最殊勝的,這就是所謂的舍;得到這種舍之後,就脫離了厭惡和不厭惡。就像一個力士彈指一樣。』如此,眼和色塵產生眼識,產生可喜的感受,產生不可喜的感受,產生既可喜又不可喜的感受,瞬間就會消滅,從而脫離厭惡和不厭惡,達到舍的狀態。 『同樣,耳和聲音產生耳識,產生可喜的感受,產生不可喜的感受,產生既可喜又不可喜的感受。聖弟子如實地知道:『我的耳識聽到聲音,產生可喜的感受,產生不可喜的感受,產生既可喜又不可喜的感受,這些感受都會寂滅,這是最殊勝的,這就是所謂的舍;得到這種舍之後,就脫離了厭惡和不厭惡。就像一個大力士彈指,聲音瞬間就消失一樣。』如此,耳和聲音產生耳識,產生可喜的感受,產生不可喜的感受,產生既可喜又不可喜的感受,產生后就會消滅,這就是舍,得到這種舍之後,就脫離了厭惡和不厭惡。'

Ananda said to the Buddha, 'Venerable One, I beseech you to explain to the monks the noble Dharma, the supreme foundation of practice in the Vinaya. Having heard it, the monks will accept and practice it.' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'Listen carefully and contemplate well, and I will explain it to you. Because of the eye and form, eye-consciousness arises. When seeing what is agreeable, one cultivates the Tathagata's detachment, right mindfulness, and right wisdom. Because of the eye and form, eye-consciousness arises. When seeing what is disagreeable, one cultivates the Tathagata's non-detachment, right mindfulness, and right wisdom. Because of the eye and form, eye-consciousness arises. When seeing what is both agreeable and disagreeable, one cultivates the Tathagata's detachment and non-detachment, right mindfulness, and right wisdom. Because of the eye and form, eye-consciousness arises. When seeing what is disagreeable and agreeable, one cultivates the Tathagata's non-detachment and detachment, right mindfulness, and right wisdom. Because of the eye and form, eye-consciousness arises. When seeing what is agreeable, disagreeable, and both agreeable and disagreeable, one cultivates the Tathagata's detachment, non-detachment, and equanimity, abiding in right mindfulness and right wisdom.' 'Thus, Ananda, if one is able to skillfully subdue the mind, skillfully close the senses, skillfully guard the mind, skillfully restrain the mind, and skillfully practice in these five situations, then one will have attained the supreme foundation of practice with regard to the eye and form. The same is said for the ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, and dharmas. Ananda, this is called the noble Dharma, the supreme foundation of practice in the Vinaya.' Venerable Ananda said to the Buddha, 'Venerable One, how is the noble Dharma, the Vinaya, the foundation of practice for the noble ones?' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'Because of the eye and form, eye-consciousness arises, giving rise to agreeable feelings, disagreeable feelings, and both agreeable and disagreeable feelings. The noble disciple knows this as it truly is: 『Because of my eye and form, eye-consciousness arises, giving rise to agreeable feelings, disagreeable feelings, and both agreeable and disagreeable feelings. These feelings will cease, this is the most excellent, this is what is called equanimity; having attained this equanimity, one is free from aversion and non-aversion. It is like a strong man snapping his fingers.』 Thus, because of the eye and form, eye-consciousness arises, giving rise to agreeable feelings, disagreeable feelings, and both agreeable and disagreeable feelings, they will instantly cease, thus freeing one from aversion and non-aversion, reaching the state of equanimity. 'Similarly, because of the ear and sound, ear-consciousness arises, giving rise to agreeable feelings, disagreeable feelings, and both agreeable and disagreeable feelings. The noble disciple knows this as it truly is: 『Because of my ear and sound, ear-consciousness arises, giving rise to agreeable feelings, disagreeable feelings, and both agreeable and disagreeable feelings. These feelings will cease, this is the most excellent, this is what is called equanimity; having attained this equanimity, one is free from aversion and non-aversion. It is like a strong man snapping his fingers, the sound instantly disappears.』 Thus, because of the ear and sound, ear-consciousness arises, giving rise to agreeable feelings, disagreeable feelings, and both agreeable and disagreeable feelings, having arisen, they will cease, this is equanimity, having attained this equanimity, one is free from aversion and non-aversion.'

A noble disciple truly knows: 'Nose and scent give rise to nose-consciousness, which gives rise to pleasant, unpleasant, and neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant feelings; these cease, this is peace, this is sublime, this is called letting go; having attained this letting go, one is free from liking and disliking.' Just as a lotus is not stained by water, so too, nose and scent give rise to nose-consciousness, which gives rise to pleasant, unpleasant, and neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant feelings; these cease, this is called letting go; having attained this letting go, one is free from liking and disliking.' 'Tongue and taste give rise to tongue-consciousness, which gives rise to pleasant, unpleasant, and neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant feelings.

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(二八三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若於結所繫法隨生味著、顧念、心縛,則愛生;愛緣取,取緣有,有緣生,生緣老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如是如是純大苦聚集,如人種樹,初小軟弱,愛護令安,壅以糞土,隨時溉灌,冷暖調適,以是因緣,然後彼樹得增長大。如是,比丘!結所繫法味著將養,則生恩愛,愛緣取,取緣有,有緣生,生緣老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如是如是純大苦聚集

『如果是因為意和法而產生意識,就會產生可喜的、不可喜的、以及既可喜又不可喜的感受,這些感受產生后就會消滅,這就是所謂的舍。獲得這種舍之後,就能遠離喜歡和不喜歡的情緒。』阿難!這就是賢聖的法和律,是聖弟子修習諸根的方法。」 『什麼是聖法和律的覺見跡象呢?』 佛告訴阿難:『眼睛和顏色相互作用產生眼識,會產生可喜的、不可喜的、以及既可喜又不可喜的感受,這時聖弟子會感到慚愧、羞恥和厭惡。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、以及意和法相互作用產生意識,會產生可喜的、不可喜的、以及既可喜又不可喜的感受,這時聖弟子會感到慚愧、羞恥和厭惡。阿難!這就是賢聖的法和律的覺見跡象。阿難!這就是賢聖的法和律中無上的修習諸根的方法。我已經說了賢聖修習諸根的方法,也說了覺見跡象。阿難!我為所有聲聞弟子所做的事情,我已經做完了,你們應當做你們該做的事情……』詳細內容如《篋毒蛇經》所說。 佛說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地接受並奉行。 《雜阿含經》卷第十一 《大正藏》第02冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第十二 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (二八三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果對於被束縛的法產生貪戀、顧念和執著,就會產生愛;愛會引發執取,執取會引發有,有會引發生,生會引發老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。這樣就會聚集起純粹巨大的苦。就像人種樹一樣,最初幼小柔弱,愛護它使其穩固,用糞土培植,隨時澆灌,調節冷暖,因為這些原因,那棵樹才能生長壯大。同樣,比丘們!如果對被束縛的法產生貪戀和滋養,就會產生恩愛,愛會引發執取,執取會引發有,有會引發生,生會引發老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。這樣就會聚集起純粹巨大的苦。』

'If, due to mind and mental objects, consciousness arises, agreeable, disagreeable, and both agreeable and disagreeable feelings arise. These feelings, having arisen, cease, which is called letting go. Having attained this letting go, one is detached from both liking and disliking.' Ananda! This is the noble Dharma and Discipline, the way noble disciples cultivate their senses. 'What are the signs of the noble Dharma and Discipline's insight?' The Buddha told Ananda: 'Eye and form give rise to eye-consciousness, which gives rise to agreeable, disagreeable, and both agreeable and disagreeable feelings. At this point, the noble disciple feels shame, embarrassment, and disgust. Ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, along with mental objects, give rise to consciousness, which gives rise to agreeable, disagreeable, and both agreeable and disagreeable feelings. At this point, the noble disciple feels shame, embarrassment, and disgust. Ananda! These are the signs of the noble Dharma and Discipline's insight. Ananda! This is the supreme way of cultivating the senses in the noble Dharma and Discipline. I have spoken of the noble way of cultivating the senses, and I have spoken of the signs of insight. Ananda! What I have done for all the disciples, I have done. You should do what you should do...' The details are as described in the 'Poisonous Snake Basket Sutra'. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Ananda, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them. Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Scroll 11 Taisho Tripitaka, Vol. 02, No. 0099, Miscellaneous Agama Sutra Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Scroll 12 Translated by Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty, from India (283) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'If one develops attachment, concern, and clinging to the things that are bound by fetters, then love arises; love gives rise to grasping, grasping gives rise to becoming, becoming gives rise to birth, and birth gives rise to old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. Thus, a great mass of pure suffering accumulates. It is like a person planting a tree, which is initially small and weak. They protect it to make it stable, fertilize it with manure, water it regularly, and adjust the temperature. Because of these reasons, the tree grows large and strong. Similarly, monks! If one develops attachment and nurtures the things that are bound by fetters, then affection arises; affection gives rise to grasping, grasping gives rise to becoming, becoming gives rise to birth, and birth gives rise to old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. Thus, a great mass of pure suffering accumulates.'


「若於結所繫法隨順無常觀,住生滅觀、無慾觀、滅觀、舍觀,不生顧念,心不縛著,則愛滅;愛滅則取滅,取滅則有滅,有滅則生滅,生滅則老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,如是如是純大苦聚滅。猶如種樹,初小軟弱,不愛護,不令安隱,不壅糞土,不隨時溉灌,冷暖不適,不得增長;若復斷根、截枝,段段斬截,分分解析,風飄日炙,以火焚燒,燒以成糞,或飏以疾風,或投之流水。比丘!于意云何?非為彼樹斷截其根,乃至焚燒,令其磨滅,于未來世成不生法耶?」

答言:「如是,世尊!」

「如是,比丘!于結所繫法隨順無常觀,住生滅觀,無慾觀、滅觀、舍觀,不生顧念,心不縛著,則愛滅,愛滅則取滅,取滅則有滅,有滅則生滅,生滅則老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,如是如是純大苦聚滅。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二八四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若於所取法隨生味著、顧念、縛心,其心驅馳,追逐名色,名色緣六入處,六入處緣觸,觸緣受,受緣愛,愛緣取,取緣有,有緣生,生緣老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如是如是純大苦聚集,譬大樹根干、枝條、柯葉、華果,下根深固,壅以糞土,溉灌以水,彼樹堅固,永世不朽。如是,比丘!于所取法隨生味著、顧念、心縛,其心驅馳,追逐名色,名色緣六入處,六入處緣觸,觸緣受,受緣愛,愛緣取,取緣有,有緣生,生緣老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦

現代漢語譯本 『如果對於被束縛的法,隨順觀察無常,安住于生滅觀、無慾觀、滅觀、舍觀,不生起顧念,心不被束縛,那麼愛就會滅盡;愛滅盡則取滅盡,取滅盡則有滅盡,有滅盡則生滅盡,生滅滅盡則老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅盡,像這樣,像這樣純粹的大苦聚集就滅盡了。就像種植樹木,最初幼小軟弱,不愛護,不使其安穩,不施加糞土,不及時澆灌,冷暖不適宜,就不能生長;如果再斷其根、截其枝,一段段斬斷,分分解析,風吹日曬,用火焚燒,燒成灰燼,或者被疾風吹散,或者投入流水。比丘們!你們認為如何?難道不是那棵樹被斷截其根,乃至焚燒,使其磨滅,在未來世成為不生之法嗎?』 回答說:『是的,世尊!』 『像這樣,比丘們!對於被束縛的法,隨順觀察無常,安住于生滅觀、無慾觀、滅觀、舍觀,不生起顧念,心不被束縛,那麼愛就會滅盡,愛滅盡則取滅盡,取滅盡則有滅盡,有滅盡則生滅盡,生滅滅盡則老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅盡,像這樣,像這樣純粹的大苦聚集就滅盡了。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (二八四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果對於所取之法,隨之生起貪味、顧念、束縛之心,其心就會驅馳,追逐名色,名色緣於六入處,六入處緣于觸,觸緣于受,受緣于愛,愛緣于取,取緣于有,有緣于生,生緣于老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。像這樣,像這樣純粹的大苦聚集就產生了,譬如大樹的根、干、枝條、樹葉、花果,下根深固,施加糞土,澆灌以水,那棵樹就會堅固,永遠不會朽壞。像這樣,比丘們!對於所取之法,隨之生起貪味、顧念、心被束縛,其心就會驅馳,追逐名色,名色緣於六入處,六入處緣于觸,觸緣于受,受緣于愛,愛緣于取,取緣于有,有緣于生,生緣于老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。』

English version 'If, with regard to the laws that are bound, one observes impermanence, dwells in the contemplation of arising and ceasing, the contemplation of desirelessness, the contemplation of cessation, the contemplation of relinquishment, does not give rise to attachment, and the mind is not bound, then love will cease; when love ceases, grasping ceases, when grasping ceases, existence ceases, when existence ceases, birth ceases, when birth ceases, then old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering cease, thus, thus, the entire great mass of suffering ceases. It is like planting a tree, initially small and weak, not cherished, not made secure, not fertilized with soil, not watered in time, not suitable for cold and heat, it cannot grow; if the roots are cut, the branches are severed, cut into sections, analyzed into parts, exposed to wind and sun, burned with fire, burned into ashes, or scattered by a strong wind, or thrown into flowing water. Monks! What do you think? Is it not that the tree, having its roots cut, even burned, causing it to perish, will not be born in the future?' They replied: 'Yes, Venerable One!' 'Thus, monks! With regard to the laws that are bound, one observes impermanence, dwells in the contemplation of arising and ceasing, the contemplation of desirelessness, the contemplation of cessation, the contemplation of relinquishment, does not give rise to attachment, and the mind is not bound, then love will cease, when love ceases, grasping ceases, when grasping ceases, existence ceases, when existence ceases, birth ceases, when birth ceases, then old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering cease, thus, thus, the entire great mass of suffering ceases.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (Two hundred and eighty-four) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'If, with regard to the laws that are grasped, one gives rise to craving, attachment, and a bound mind, the mind will be driven, pursuing name and form, name and form are conditioned by the six sense bases, the six sense bases are conditioned by contact, contact is conditioned by feeling, feeling is conditioned by love, love is conditioned by grasping, grasping is conditioned by existence, existence is conditioned by birth, birth is conditioned by old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. Thus, thus, the entire great mass of suffering arises, like the roots, trunk, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits of a large tree, with deep roots, fertilized with soil, and watered, that tree will be strong and will never decay. Thus, monks! With regard to the laws that are grasped, one gives rise to craving, attachment, and a bound mind, the mind will be driven, pursuing name and form, name and form are conditioned by the six sense bases, the six sense bases are conditioned by contact, contact is conditioned by feeling, feeling is conditioned by love, love is conditioned by grasping, grasping is conditioned by existence, existence is conditioned by birth, birth is conditioned by old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering.'


。如是如是純大苦聚集。

「若於所取法隨順無常觀,住生滅觀、無慾觀、滅觀、厭觀,心不顧念,無所縛著,識則不驅馳、追逐名色,則名色滅,名色滅則六入處滅,六入處滅則觸滅,觸滅則受滅,受滅則愛滅,愛滅則取滅,取滅則有滅,有滅則生滅,生滅則老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅。如是如是則純大苦聚滅,猶如種樹,不隨時愛護令其安隱,不壅糞土,不隨時溉灌,冷暖不適,不得增長;若復斷根、截枝,段段斬截,分分解析,風飄日炙,以火焚燒,燒以成糞,或飏以疾風,或投之流水。比丘!于意云何?非為彼樹斷截其根,乃至焚燒,令其磨滅,于未來世成不生法耶?」

答言:「如是,世尊!」

「如是,比丘!于所取法隨順無常觀,住生滅觀、無慾觀、滅觀、舍觀,不生顧念,心不縛著,識不驅馳、追逐名色,則名色滅,名色滅則六入處滅,六入處滅則觸滅,觸滅則受滅,受滅則愛滅,愛滅則取滅,取滅則有滅,有滅則生滅,生滅則老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,如是純大苦聚滅。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二八五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我憶宿命未成正覺時,獨一靜處,專精禪思,生如是念:『世間難入,所謂若生、若老、若病、若死、若遷、若受生,然諸眾生,生、老、死上及所依不如實知。』

「我作是念:『何法有故生有?何法緣故生有?』即正思惟,起無間等知,有有故生有,有緣故生有

現代漢語譯本:如此這般,純粹的巨大苦難便會聚集。 『如果對於所執取的法,隨順觀察其無常,安住于生滅的觀察、無慾的觀察、寂滅的觀察、厭離的觀察,內心不留戀,沒有束縛執著,那麼意識就不會奔逐、追逐名色,名色就會滅盡;名色滅盡,六入處就會滅盡;六入處滅盡,觸就會滅盡;觸滅盡,受就會滅盡;受滅盡,愛就會滅盡;愛滅盡,取就會滅盡;取滅盡,有就會滅盡;有滅盡,生就會滅盡;生滅盡,老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦就會滅盡。如此這般,純粹的巨大苦難便會滅盡,就像種植樹木,如果不隨時愛護使其安穩,不施加肥料,不及時澆灌,冷熱不適宜,就不能生長;如果再斷其根、截其枝,一段段斬斷,分分解析,被風吹日曬,用火焚燒,燒成灰燼,或者被疾風吹散,或者投入流水。比丘們!你們認為如何?難道不是那棵樹被斷截其根,乃至焚燒,使其磨滅,在未來世成為不生之法嗎?』 回答說:『是的,世尊!』 『如此,比丘們!對於所執取的法,隨順觀察其無常,安住于生滅的觀察、無慾的觀察、寂滅的觀察、捨棄的觀察,不生留戀,內心沒有束縛執著,意識不奔逐、追逐名色,那麼名色就會滅盡;名色滅盡,六入處就會滅盡;六入處滅盡,觸就會滅盡;觸滅盡,受就會滅盡;受滅盡,愛就會滅盡;愛滅盡,取就會滅盡;取滅盡,有就會滅盡;有滅盡,生就會滅盡;生滅盡,老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦就會滅盡,如此純粹的巨大苦難便會滅盡。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (二八五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我回憶起過去世尚未成正覺時,獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心禪思,生起這樣的念頭:『世間難以進入,所謂生、老、病、死、遷徙、受生,然而眾生對於生、老、死以及所依賴的,都不能如實知曉。』 『我這樣想:『什麼法存在,所以有生?什麼法為緣,所以有生?』我立即如理思惟,生起無間斷的智慧,知道有『有』,所以有生;以『有』為緣,所以有生。

English version: Thus, thus, a pure great mass of suffering gathers. 'If, with regard to the apprehended dharmas, one observes impermanence in accordance, dwells in the observation of arising and ceasing, the observation of non-desire, the observation of cessation, the observation of aversion, the mind does not cling, is without bondage or attachment, then consciousness will not rush about, chasing after name and form, then name and form will cease; when name and form cease, the six sense bases will cease; when the six sense bases cease, contact will cease; when contact ceases, feeling will cease; when feeling ceases, craving will cease; when craving ceases, grasping will cease; when grasping ceases, becoming will cease; when becoming ceases, birth will cease; when birth ceases, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering will cease. Thus, thus, a pure great mass of suffering will cease, just like planting a tree, if one does not care for it at all times to make it secure, does not add fertilizer, does not water it in time, if it is not suitable for cold and heat, it cannot grow; if one then cuts its roots, cuts its branches, cuts it into sections, analyzes it into parts, the wind blows and the sun scorches it, burns it with fire, burns it into ashes, or scatters it with a strong wind, or throws it into the flowing water. Bhikkhus! What do you think? Is it not that the tree, having its roots cut, even burned, causing it to be destroyed, will become a non-arising dharma in the future?' They answered: 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' 'Thus, bhikkhus! With regard to the apprehended dharmas, one observes impermanence in accordance, dwells in the observation of arising and ceasing, the observation of non-desire, the observation of cessation, the observation of relinquishment, does not give rise to clinging, the mind is without bondage or attachment, consciousness does not rush about, chasing after name and form, then name and form will cease; when name and form cease, the six sense bases will cease; when the six sense bases cease, contact will cease; when contact ceases, feeling will cease; when feeling ceases, craving will cease; when craving ceases, grasping will cease; when grasping ceases, becoming will cease; when becoming ceases, birth will cease; when birth ceases, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering will cease, thus a pure great mass of suffering will cease.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (285) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the bhikkhus: 'I recall in my past life, before attaining complete enlightenment, being alone in a quiet place, concentrating on meditation, and giving rise to this thought: 『The world is difficult to enter, namely birth, old age, sickness, death, transmigration, and rebirth, yet sentient beings do not truly know birth, old age, and death, and what they depend on.』 'I thought: 『What dharma exists, therefore there is birth? What dharma is the condition, therefore there is birth?』 Immediately, I contemplated correctly, and arose with uninterrupted knowledge, knowing that because there is 『becoming』, there is birth; because 『becoming』 is the condition, there is birth.


「復思惟:『何法有故有有?何法緣故有有?』即正思惟,如實無間等起知,取有故有有,取緣故有有。

「又作是念:『取復何緣、何法有故取有?何法緣故取有?』即正思惟,如實無間等起知,取法味著、顧念、心縛,愛慾增長;彼愛有故取有,愛故緣取,取緣有,有緣生,生緣老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如是如是純大苦聚集。

「諸比丘!于意云何?譬如緣膏油及炷,燈明得燒,數增油、炷,彼燈明得久住不?」

答言:「如是,世尊!」

「如是,諸比丘!於色取味著、顧念、愛縛,增長愛緣故取,取緣有,有緣生,生緣老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如是如是純大苦聚集。

「我時復作是念:『何法無故無此老、病、死?何法滅故老、病、死滅?』即正思惟,起如實無間等,無生則無老、病、死,生滅故,則老、病、死滅。

「復作是念:『何法無故無生?何法滅故生滅?』即正思惟,起如實無間等,有無故生無,有滅故生滅。

「又復思惟:『何法無故有無?何法滅故有滅?』即正思惟,生如實無間等觀,取無故有無,取滅故有滅。

「又作是念:『何法無故取無?何法滅故取滅?』即正思惟,生如實無間等觀,所取法無常、生滅、離欲、滅盡、舍離,心不顧念,心不縛著,愛則滅,彼愛滅故取滅,取滅故有滅,有滅故生滅,生滅故老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,如是如是純大苦聚滅

現代漢語譯本:我又思索:『什麼法存在導致『有』存在?什麼法作為緣由導致『有』存在?』我立即如實地、無間斷地生起智慧,知道因為執取而有『有』,因為緣由而有『有』。 我又這樣想:『執取又以什麼為緣,什麼法存在導致執取存在?什麼法作為緣由導致執取存在?』我立即如實地、無間斷地生起智慧,知道對所執取的法產生貪戀、顧念、心被束縛,愛慾增長;因為愛存在所以有執取,因為愛所以緣起執取,執取緣起『有』,『有』緣起生,生緣起老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。這樣,這樣就聚集了純粹巨大的苦。 『諸位比丘!你們認為如何?譬如依靠膏油和燈芯,燈火才能燃燒,如果不斷增加油和燈芯,那燈火能持續燃燒很久嗎?』 回答說:『是的,世尊!』 『諸位比丘!同樣,對於色,如果執取其味著、顧念、愛縛,增長愛,因為愛所以緣起執取,執取緣起『有』,『有』緣起生,生緣起老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。這樣,這樣就聚集了純粹巨大的苦。 我當時又這樣想:『什麼法不存在導致沒有老、病、死?什麼法滅盡導致老、病、死滅盡?』我立即如實地、無間斷地生起智慧,知道沒有生就沒有老、病、死,因為生滅盡,所以老、病、死滅盡。 我又這樣想:『什麼法不存在導致沒有生?什麼法滅盡導致生滅盡?』我立即如實地、無間斷地生起智慧,知道沒有『有』就沒有生,因為『有』滅盡所以生滅盡。 我又思索:『什麼法不存在導致『有』不存在?什麼法滅盡導致『有』滅盡?』我立即如實地、無間斷地生起智慧,知道沒有執取就沒有『有』,因為執取滅盡所以『有』滅盡。 我又這樣想:『什麼法不存在導致執取不存在?什麼法滅盡導致執取滅盡?』我立即如實地、無間斷地生起智慧,知道所執取的法是無常的、生滅的、離欲的、滅盡的、舍離的,心不顧念,心不被束縛,愛就滅盡,因為愛滅盡所以執取滅盡,執取滅盡所以『有』滅盡,『有』滅盡所以生滅盡,生滅盡所以老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅盡,這樣,這樣就滅盡了純粹巨大的苦。

English version: 'Again, I reflected: 『What condition being present does 『becoming』 come to be? What condition being a cause does 『becoming』 come to be?』 Then, with right reflection, I truly and without interruption understood that 『becoming』 comes to be because of grasping, and 『becoming』 comes to be because of a cause. And I thought: 『What is the cause of grasping, what condition being present does grasping come to be? What condition being a cause does grasping come to be?』 Then, with right reflection, I truly and without interruption understood that grasping arises from delighting in, dwelling on, and being bound to the object of grasping, and from the growth of craving; because of craving, there is grasping, because of craving, grasping arises, grasping causes 『becoming』, 『becoming』 causes birth, birth causes aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair. Thus, this whole mass of suffering arises. 『Monks, what do you think? Just as a lamp burns because of oil and a wick, and if the oil and wick are increased, will the lamp burn for a long time?』 They replied: 『Yes, venerable sir.』 『Similarly, monks, when one delights in, dwells on, and is bound to form, craving grows, and because of craving, grasping arises, grasping causes 『becoming』, 『becoming』 causes birth, birth causes aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair. Thus, this whole mass of suffering arises. Then I thought: 『What condition being absent does aging, sickness, and death not come to be? What condition ceasing does aging, sickness, and death cease?』 Then, with right reflection, I truly and without interruption understood that when there is no birth, there is no aging, sickness, and death, and when birth ceases, aging, sickness, and death cease. Again, I thought: 『What condition being absent does birth not come to be? What condition ceasing does birth cease?』 Then, with right reflection, I truly and without interruption understood that when there is no 『becoming』, there is no birth, and when 『becoming』 ceases, birth ceases. And I reflected: 『What condition being absent does 『becoming』 not come to be? What condition ceasing does 『becoming』 cease?』 Then, with right reflection, I truly and without interruption understood that when there is no grasping, there is no 『becoming』, and when grasping ceases, 『becoming』 ceases. And I thought: 『What condition being absent does grasping not come to be? What condition ceasing does grasping cease?』 Then, with right reflection, I truly and without interruption understood that the object of grasping is impermanent, subject to arising and ceasing, free from desire, ceasing, and relinquishing, and when the mind does not dwell on it and is not bound to it, craving ceases, and when craving ceases, grasping ceases, when grasping ceases, 『becoming』 ceases, when 『becoming』 ceases, birth ceases, when birth ceases, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair cease. Thus, this whole mass of suffering ceases.'


「諸比丘!于意云何?譬如油、炷然燈,若不增油治炷,非彼燈明未來不生、盡、磨滅耶?」

比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」

「如是,諸比丘!于所取法觀察無常、生滅、離欲、滅盡、舍離,心不顧念,心不縛著,愛則滅,愛滅則取滅,乃至純大苦聚滅。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二八六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我憶宿命未成正覺時,獨一靜處,專精禪思……」如上廣說。差別者:「譬如載樵十束、二十束、三十束、四十束、五十束、百束、千束、百千束,積聚燒然,作大火聚,若復有人增其乾草樵薪,諸比丘!于意云何?此火相續長夜熾然不?」

比丘白佛言:「如是,世尊!」

「如是,諸比丘!于所取法味著、顧念、心縛著,增其愛緣取,取緣有,乃至純大苦聚集。諸比丘!若彼火聚熾然,不增樵草。諸比丘!于意云何?彼火當滅不?」

答言:「如是,世尊!」

「如是,諸比丘!于所取法觀察無常、生滅、離欲、滅盡、舍離,心不顧念、縛著,愛則滅,愛滅則取滅……」如是廣說,乃至「純大苦聚滅。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 『諸位比丘!你們認為如何?譬如油燈,如果燈油不增加,燈芯不修剪,那燈光難道不會在未來熄滅、耗盡、消散嗎?』 比丘們回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 『諸位比丘,同樣地,如果對所執取的法觀察其無常、生滅、離欲、滅盡、舍離的特性,內心不執著,不被束縛,那麼愛慾就會熄滅,愛慾熄滅則執取熄滅,乃至純粹的巨大苦聚也會熄滅。』 佛陀說完此經,比丘們聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (二八六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『我回憶起過去尚未成正覺時,獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心禪思……』如上文所廣說。不同之處在於:『譬如堆積著十捆、二十捆、三十捆、四十捆、五十捆、一百捆、一千捆、甚至成百上千捆的柴火,堆積起來燃燒,形成巨大的火堆,如果有人再往裡面新增乾草柴薪,諸位比丘!你們認為如何?這火會持續燃燒很長時間嗎?』 比丘們回答佛陀說:『是的,世尊!』 『諸位比丘,同樣地,如果對所執取的法產生貪戀、執著、內心被束縛,就會增長愛慾,愛慾緣起執取,執取緣起有,乃至純粹的巨大苦聚就會聚集。諸位比丘!如果那火堆正在燃燒,不再新增柴草。諸位比丘!你們認為如何?那火會熄滅嗎?』 回答說:『是的,世尊!』 『諸位比丘,同樣地,如果對所執取的法觀察其無常、生滅、離欲、滅盡、舍離的特性,內心不執著、不被束縛,那麼愛慾就會熄滅,愛慾熄滅則執取熄滅……』如上文所廣說,乃至『純粹的巨大苦聚也會熄滅。』 佛陀說完此經,比丘們聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (二八七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version 'Monks, what do you think? Suppose there is a lamp with oil and a wick. If the oil is not added and the wick is not trimmed, will that lamp's light not eventually cease, be exhausted, and fade away?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' 'Similarly, monks, if one observes the impermanence, arising and ceasing, detachment, extinction, and relinquishment of the things that are grasped, and the mind does not cling to them or become bound by them, then craving will cease. When craving ceases, grasping ceases, and so on, until the complete mass of suffering ceases.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings. (286) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, 'I recall when I was not yet fully enlightened, I was alone in a quiet place, engaged in focused meditation...' as described in detail above. The difference is: 'Suppose there are ten bundles, twenty bundles, thirty bundles, forty bundles, fifty bundles, a hundred bundles, a thousand bundles, or even hundreds of thousands of bundles of firewood piled up and set ablaze, forming a great fire. If someone adds dry grass and firewood to it, monks, what do you think? Will this fire continue to burn for a long time?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' 'Similarly, monks, if one is attached to, clings to, and is bound by the things that are grasped, then craving will increase, craving gives rise to grasping, grasping gives rise to becoming, and so on, until the complete mass of suffering accumulates. Monks, if that fire is burning and no more firewood is added, monks, what do you think? Will that fire go out?' They replied, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' 'Similarly, monks, if one observes the impermanence, arising and ceasing, detachment, extinction, and relinquishment of the things that are grasped, and the mind does not cling to them or become bound by them, then craving will cease. When craving ceases, grasping ceases...' as described in detail above, until 'the complete mass of suffering ceases.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings. (287) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我憶宿命未成正覺時,獨一靜處,專精禪思,作是念:『何法有故老死有?何法緣故老死有?』即正思惟,生如實無間等,生有故老死有,生緣故老死有。如是有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色。何法有故名色有?何法緣故名色有?即正思惟,如實無間等生,識有故名色有,識緣故有名色有。我作是思惟時,齊識而還不能過彼,謂緣識名色,緣名色六入處,緣六入處觸,緣觸受,緣受愛,緣愛取,緣取有,緣有生,緣生老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如是如是純大苦聚集。

「我時作是念:『何法無故則老死無?何法滅故老死滅?』即正思惟,生如實無間等,生無故老死無,生滅故老死滅,如是生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行……」廣說。

「我復作是思惟:『何法無故行無?何法滅故行滅?』即正思惟,如實無間等,無明無故行無,無明滅故行滅,行滅故識滅,識滅故名色滅,名色滅故六入處滅,六入處滅故觸滅,觸滅故受滅,受滅故愛滅,愛滅故取滅,取滅故有滅,有滅故生滅,生滅故老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,如是如是純大苦聚滅。

「我時作是念:『我得古仙人道、古仙人逕、古仙人道跡,古仙人從此跡去,我今隨去。』譬如有人游于曠野,披荒覓路,忽遇故道古人行處,彼則隨行,漸漸前進,見故城邑、故王宮殿、園觀浴池、林木清凈。彼作是念:『我今當往白王令知

現代漢語譯本: 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我回憶起自己尚未成正覺時,獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心致志地禪思,心中這樣想:『什麼法存在導致老死存在?什麼法作為緣由導致老死存在?』我立即如實地進行思惟,無間斷地得出結論:因為有生,所以有老死;因為以生為緣,所以有老死。同樣,有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色也是如此。什麼法存在導致名色存在?什麼法作為緣由導致名色存在?』我立即如實地進行思惟,無間斷地得出結論:因為有識,所以有名色;因為以識為緣,所以有名色。當我這樣思惟時,我的認識只能達到識的程度,不能超越它。也就是說,以識為緣有名色,以名色為緣有六入處,以六入處為緣有觸,以觸為緣有受,以受為緣有愛,以愛為緣有取,以取為緣有有,以有為緣有生,以生為緣有老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。這樣,這樣就形成了純粹的巨大苦的聚集。 『我當時這樣想:『什麼法不存在,老死就不存在?什麼法滅盡,老死就滅盡?』我立即如實地進行思惟,無間斷地得出結論:因為沒有生,所以沒有老死;因為生滅盡,所以老死滅盡。同樣,生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行……』(此處省略了詳細的論述)。 『我又這樣思惟:『什麼法不存在,行就不存在?什麼法滅盡,行就滅盡?』我立即如實地進行思惟,無間斷地得出結論:因為沒有無明,所以沒有行;因為無明滅盡,所以行滅盡。行滅盡,所以識滅盡;識滅盡,所以名色滅盡;名色滅盡,所以六入處滅盡;六入處滅盡,所以觸滅盡;觸滅盡,所以受滅盡;受滅盡,所以愛滅盡;愛滅盡,所以取滅盡;取滅盡,所以有滅盡;有滅盡,所以生滅盡;生滅盡,所以老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅盡。這樣,這樣就形成了純粹的巨大苦的聚集的滅盡。 『我當時這樣想:『我找到了古仙人的道路、古仙人的路徑、古仙人的足跡,古仙人就是沿著這條足跡前進的,我現在也沿著這條足跡前進。』譬如有人在曠野中行走,披荊斬棘地尋找道路,忽然遇到古老的道路,那是古人走過的地方,他便沿著這條路走,漸漸前進,看到古老的城邑、古老的王宮、園林、浴池、樹木清凈。他這樣想:『我現在應當去稟告國王,讓他知道』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'I recall, before my enlightenment, when I was alone in a quiet place, engaged in focused meditation, I thought to myself: 『What is the condition for old age and death to exist? What is the cause for old age and death to exist?』 I immediately contemplated this truthfully and without interruption, and concluded: because there is birth, there is old age and death; because birth is the condition, there is old age and death. Similarly, with existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, the six sense bases, and name and form. What is the condition for name and form to exist? What is the cause for name and form to exist?』 I immediately contemplated this truthfully and without interruption, and concluded: because there is consciousness, there is name and form; because consciousness is the condition, there is name and form. When I contemplated in this way, my understanding only reached the level of consciousness, and could not go beyond it. That is to say, with consciousness as the condition, there is name and form; with name and form as the condition, there are the six sense bases; with the six sense bases as the condition, there is contact; with contact as the condition, there is feeling; with feeling as the condition, there is craving; with craving as the condition, there is grasping; with grasping as the condition, there is existence; with existence as the condition, there is birth; with birth as the condition, there are old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and suffering. Thus, thus is formed the accumulation of pure great suffering.' 'I then thought to myself: 『What is the condition for old age and death not to exist? What is the condition for old age and death to cease?』 I immediately contemplated this truthfully and without interruption, and concluded: because there is no birth, there is no old age and death; because birth ceases, old age and death cease. Similarly, with birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, the six sense bases, name and form, consciousness, and volitional formations…' (Here, the detailed explanation is omitted). 'I further contemplated: 『What is the condition for volitional formations not to exist? What is the condition for volitional formations to cease?』 I immediately contemplated this truthfully and without interruption, and concluded: because there is no ignorance, there are no volitional formations; because ignorance ceases, volitional formations cease. When volitional formations cease, consciousness ceases; when consciousness ceases, name and form cease; when name and form cease, the six sense bases cease; when the six sense bases cease, contact ceases; when contact ceases, feeling ceases; when feeling ceases, craving ceases; when craving ceases, grasping ceases; when grasping ceases, existence ceases; when existence ceases, birth ceases; when birth ceases, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and suffering cease. Thus, thus is the cessation of the accumulation of pure great suffering.' 'I then thought to myself: 『I have found the path of the ancient sages, the way of the ancient sages, the footprints of the ancient sages. The ancient sages went along this path, and now I will follow it.』 It is like a person wandering in the wilderness, searching for a path through the thickets, who suddenly encounters an old road, a place where ancient people have walked. He then follows this road, gradually advancing, and sees an old city, an old royal palace, gardens, bathing pools, and clean trees. He thinks to himself: 『Now I should go and inform the king, so that he may know』


。』即往白王:『大王當知,我游曠野,披荒求路,忽見故道古人行處,我即隨行;我隨行已,見故城邑、故王宮殿、園觀浴池、林流清凈,大王可往居止其中。』王即往彼,止住其中,豐樂安隱,人民熾盛。

「今我如是,得古仙人道、古仙人逕、古仙人跡,古仙人去處,我得隨去,謂八聖道,正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。我從彼道見老病死、老病死集、老病死滅、老病死滅道跡,見生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行、行集、行滅、行滅道跡。我於此法自知自覺,成等正覺,為比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷,及餘外道沙門、婆羅門、在家、出家,彼諸四眾聞法正向、信樂,知法善,梵行增廣,多所饒益,開示顯發。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,尊者舍利弗、尊者摩訶拘絺羅在耆阇崛山。

爾時,尊者舍利弗晡時從禪覺,詣尊者摩訶拘絺羅,共相問訊慶慰已,於一面坐。語尊者摩訶拘絺羅:「欲有所問,寧有閑暇見答與不?」

尊者摩訶拘絺羅語尊者舍利弗言:「仁者且問,知者當答。」

尊者舍利弗問尊者摩訶拘絺羅:「云何?尊者摩訶拘絺羅,有老不?」

答言:「有。」

尊者舍利弗復問:「有死不?」

答言:「有

現代漢語譯本:』他隨即去稟告國王說:『大王應當知道,我遊歷曠野,披荊斬棘尋找道路,忽然看見一條古道,是古人走過的地方,我就沿著這條路走;我沿著路走,看見了古老的城邑、古老的王宮殿宇、園林觀賞之地、沐浴池、樹林河流清澈乾淨,大王可以前往居住在那裡。』國王就前往那裡,居住其中,生活富足安穩,人民興盛繁榮。 『現在我就是這樣,得到了古仙人的道、古仙人走過的小路、古仙人的足跡、古仙人去過的地方,我得以跟隨他們走,這就是八聖道,即正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。我從這條道路上看見了老、病、死,老、病、死的產生,老、病、死的滅亡,老、病、死滅亡的道路,看見了生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行、行的產生、行的滅亡、行滅亡的道路。我對於這些法自己知道自己覺悟,成就了無上正等正覺,為比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷,以及其他外道沙門、婆羅門、在家、出家之人說法,他們這些四眾弟子聽聞佛法后,心生正向、信奉喜樂,知道佛法是好的,清凈的修行得以增長,多有利益,開示顯明。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二八八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,尊者舍利弗、尊者摩訶拘絺羅在耆阇崛山。 當時,尊者舍利弗在傍晚時分從禪定中醒來,前往尊者摩訶拘絺羅那裡,互相問候慰問之後,在一旁坐下。對尊者摩訶拘絺羅說:『我有些問題想請教,您是否有空閑時間回答呢?』 尊者摩訶拘絺羅對尊者舍利弗說:『仁者請問,知道的我會回答。』 尊者舍利弗問尊者摩訶拘絺羅:『請問,尊者摩訶拘絺羅,有老嗎?』 回答說:『有。』 尊者舍利弗又問:『有死嗎?』 回答說:『有。』

English version: 'He then went to report to the king, saying: 『Your Majesty should know that I wandered in the wilderness, cutting through thorns and seeking a path, and suddenly I saw an ancient road, a place where ancient people had walked. I followed this road; as I followed it, I saw ancient cities, ancient palaces, gardens, bathing pools, and forests with clear streams. Your Majesty can go and live there.』 The king then went there and lived in it, enjoying abundance and peace, and the people flourished. 『Now, I am like that. I have obtained the path of the ancient sages, the trails of the ancient sages, the footprints of the ancient sages, the places where the ancient sages went. I am able to follow them, which is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely, right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. From this path, I saw old age, sickness, and death; the arising of old age, sickness, and death; the cessation of old age, sickness, and death; and the path to the cessation of old age, sickness, and death. I saw birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, the six sense bases, name and form, consciousness, volitional formations, the arising of volitional formations, the cessation of volitional formations, and the path to the cessation of volitional formations. I have come to know and realize these dharmas for myself, attaining supreme perfect enlightenment. I teach the Dharma to monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen, as well as other non-Buddhist ascetics, Brahmins, householders, and renunciates. These four groups of disciples, upon hearing the Dharma, develop right direction, faith, and joy. They know the Dharma is good, their pure conduct increases, they gain much benefit, and the Dharma is revealed and made clear.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (288) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, Venerable Sariputta and Venerable Maha Kotthita were on Gijjhakuta Mountain. At that time, Venerable Sariputta, in the late afternoon, arose from meditation and went to Venerable Maha Kotthita. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, he sat down to one side. He said to Venerable Maha Kotthita, 『I have some questions to ask. Do you have the time to answer them?』 Venerable Maha Kotthita said to Venerable Sariputta, 『Ask, friend. If I know, I will answer.』 Venerable Sariputta asked Venerable Maha Kotthita, 『Tell me, Venerable Maha Kotthita, is there old age?』 He replied, 『Yes.』 Venerable Sariputta asked again, 『Is there death?』 He replied, 『Yes.』


。」

復問:「云何?老死自作耶?為他作耶?為自他作耶?為非自非他無因作耶?」

答言:「尊者舍利弗!老死非自作、非他作、非自他作、亦非非自他作無因作,然彼生緣故有老死。」

「如是生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色,為自作、為他作、為自他作、為非自他無因作?」

答言:「尊者舍利弗!名色非自作、非他作、非自他作、非非自他作無因作,然彼名色緣識生。」

復問:「彼識為自作、為他作、為自他作、為非自非他無因作?」

答言:「尊者舍利弗!彼識非自作、非他作、非自他作、非非自他作無因作,然彼識緣名色生。」

尊者舍利弗復問:「尊者摩訶拘絺羅!先言名色非自作、非他作、非自他作、非非自他作無因作,然彼名色緣識生,而今復言名色緣識,此義云何?」

尊者摩訶拘絺羅答言:「今當說譬,如智者因譬得解。譬如三蘆立於空地,展轉相依,而得豎立,若去其一,二亦不立,若去其二,一亦不立,展轉相依,而得豎立,識緣名色亦復如是。展轉相依,而得生長。」

尊者舍利弗言:「善哉!善哉!尊者摩訶拘絺羅!世尊聲聞中,智慧明達,善調無畏,見甘露法,以甘露法具足身作證者,謂尊者摩訶拘絺羅,乃有如是甚深義辯,種種難問,皆悉能答,如無價寶珠,世所頂戴,我今頂戴尊者摩訶拘絺羅亦復如是。我今于汝所,快得善利,諸餘梵行數詣其所,亦得善利,以彼尊者善說法故。我今以此尊者摩訶拘絺羅所說法故,當以三十種讚歎稱揚隨喜

現代漢語譯本 又問:『這是怎麼回事?老死是自己造成的嗎?是別人造成的嗎?是自己和別人共同造成的嗎?還是無緣無故,既非自己也非別人造成的呢?』 回答說:『尊者舍利弗!老死不是自己造成的,不是別人造成的,不是自己和別人共同造成的,也不是無緣無故,既非自己也非別人造成的。而是因為有生這個緣故,所以才有老死。』 『那麼,生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色,是自己造成的嗎?是別人造成的嗎?是自己和別人共同造成的嗎?還是無緣無故,既非自己也非別人造成的呢?』 回答說:『尊者舍利弗!名色不是自己造成的,不是別人造成的,不是自己和別人共同造成的,也不是無緣無故,既非自己也非別人造成的。而是因為名色這個緣故,所以才有識產生。』 又問:『那麼,識是自己造成的嗎?是別人造成的嗎?是自己和別人共同造成的嗎?還是無緣無故,既非自己也非別人造成的呢?』 回答說:『尊者舍利弗!識不是自己造成的,不是別人造成的,不是自己和別人共同造成的,也不是無緣無故,既非自己也非別人造成的。而是因為識這個緣故,所以才有名字和色產生。』 尊者舍利弗又問:『尊者摩訶拘絺羅!你先前說名色不是自己造成的,不是別人造成的,不是自己和別人共同造成的,也不是無緣無故,既非自己也非別人造成的。而是因為名色這個緣故,所以才有識產生。而現在又說名色是因為識而產生的,這到底是什麼意思呢?』 尊者摩訶拘絺羅回答說:『我現在打個比方,就像有智慧的人可以通過比喻來理解一樣。比如三根蘆葦立在空地上,它們互相依靠,才能豎立起來。如果去掉其中一根,另外兩根也立不起來;如果去掉兩根,剩下一根也立不起來。它們互相依靠,才能豎立起來。識和名色的關係也是這樣,互相依靠,才能生長。』 尊者舍利弗說:『太好了!太好了!尊者摩訶拘絺羅!在世尊的弟子中,智慧明達,善於調伏,無所畏懼,見到甘露之法,以甘露之法圓滿自身並作證的人,就是尊者摩訶拘絺羅。你竟然有如此深刻的辯才,各種難題都能回答,就像無價的寶珠,世人頂戴一樣,我現在也頂戴尊者摩訶拘絺羅。我今天在你這裡,真是得到了很大的利益,其他修行的人如果經常來你這裡,也會得到很大的利益,因為尊者你善於說法。我現在因為尊者摩訶拘絺羅所說的法,應當用三十種讚歎來稱揚隨喜。』

English version Again he asked: 'What is this? Is old age and death self-made? Is it made by another? Is it made by both self and another? Or is it made without cause, neither by self nor by another?' He answered: 'Venerable Sariputra! Old age and death are not self-made, not made by another, not made by both self and another, nor are they made without cause, neither by self nor by another. Rather, because of the condition of birth, there is old age and death.' 'Then, are birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, the six sense bases, and name-and-form self-made? Are they made by another? Are they made by both self and another? Or are they made without cause, neither by self nor by another?' He answered: 'Venerable Sariputra! Name-and-form are not self-made, not made by another, not made by both self and another, nor are they made without cause, neither by self nor by another. Rather, because of the condition of name-and-form, consciousness arises.' Again he asked: 'Then, is consciousness self-made? Is it made by another? Is it made by both self and another? Or is it made without cause, neither by self nor by another?' He answered: 'Venerable Sariputra! Consciousness is not self-made, not made by another, not made by both self and another, nor is it made without cause, neither by self nor by another. Rather, because of the condition of consciousness, name-and-form arise.' Venerable Sariputra asked again: 'Venerable Mahakotthita! You said earlier that name-and-form are not self-made, not made by another, not made by both self and another, nor are they made without cause, neither by self nor by another. Rather, because of the condition of name-and-form, consciousness arises. And now you say that name-and-form arise because of consciousness. What does this mean?' Venerable Mahakotthita answered: 'Now I will give an analogy, just as the wise can understand through analogies. For example, three reeds stand on open ground, they rely on each other to stand upright. If one is removed, the other two cannot stand; if two are removed, the remaining one cannot stand. They rely on each other to stand upright. The relationship between consciousness and name-and-form is also like this, they rely on each other to grow.' Venerable Sariputra said: 'Excellent! Excellent! Venerable Mahakotthita! Among the disciples of the World Honored One, the one who is wise, clear, well-tamed, fearless, who has seen the nectar of the Dharma, and who has realized the nectar of the Dharma with his own body, is Venerable Mahakotthita. You have such profound eloquence, able to answer all kinds of difficult questions, like a priceless jewel, which the world reveres, I now revere Venerable Mahakotthita as well. I have truly gained great benefit today from you, and other practitioners who frequently come to you will also gain great benefit, because you are skilled in teaching the Dharma. Now, because of the Dharma taught by Venerable Mahakotthita, I shall praise and rejoice with thirty kinds of praise.'


。」

尊者摩訶拘絺羅說:「老死厭患、離欲、滅盡,是名法師;說生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識,厭患、離欲、滅盡,是名法師;若比丘于老死厭患、離欲、滅盡向,是名法師;乃至識厭患、離欲、滅盡向,是名法師;若比丘于老死厭患、離欲、滅盡,不起諸漏,心善解脫,是名法師;乃至識厭患、離欲、滅盡,不起諸漏,心善解脫,是名法師。」

尊者摩訶拘絺羅語尊者舍利弗言:「善哉!善哉!於世尊聲聞中,智慧明達,善調無畏,見甘露法,以甘露法具足身作證者,謂尊者舍利弗,能作如是種種甚深正智之問,猶如世間無價寶珠,人皆頂戴,汝今如是,普為一切諸梵行者之所頂戴、恭敬、奉事。我於今日快得善利,得與尊者共論妙義。」

時,二正士更相隨喜,各還所住。

(二八九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「愚癡無聞凡夫於四大身厭患、離欲、背舍而非識。所以者何?見四大身有增、有減、有取、有舍,而於心、意、識,愚癡無聞凡夫不能生厭、離欲、解脫。所以者何?彼長夜於此保惜系我,若得、若取,言:『是我、我所、相在。』是故愚癡無聞凡夫不能于彼生厭、離欲、背舍。愚癡無聞凡夫寧於四大身繫我、我所,不可於識系我、我所。所以者何?四大色身或見十年住,二十、三十,乃至百年,若善訊息或復小過。彼心、意、識日夜時刻,須臾轉變,異生、異滅。猶如獼猴游林樹間,須臾處處,攀捉枝條,放一取一

現代漢語譯本 尊者摩訶拘絺羅說:『對老死感到厭惡、想要脫離、直至滅盡,這稱為法師;宣說生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識,感到厭惡、想要脫離、直至滅盡,這稱為法師;如果比丘對老死感到厭惡、想要脫離、直至滅盡的方向努力,這稱為法師;乃至對識感到厭惡、想要脫離、直至滅盡的方向努力,這稱為法師;如果比丘對老死感到厭惡、想要脫離、直至滅盡,不再產生各種煩惱,內心得到徹底解脫,這稱為法師;乃至對識感到厭惡、想要脫離、直至滅盡,不再產生各種煩惱,內心得到徹底解脫,這稱為法師。』 尊者摩訶拘絺羅對尊者舍利弗說:『太好了!太好了!在世尊的弟子中,智慧明達,善於調伏,無所畏懼,見到甘露之法,以甘露之法親身證悟的人,就是尊者舍利弗。你能夠提出如此種種深奧的正智問題,就像世間無價的寶珠,人們都頂戴在頭上。你現在也是這樣,被所有修行梵行的人所頂戴、恭敬、奉事。我今天真是太幸運了,能夠和尊者一起討論如此精妙的道理。』 當時,兩位正士互相隨喜讚歎,各自回到自己的住所。 (二八九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『愚癡無知的凡夫對四大組成的身體感到厭惡、想要脫離、捨棄,卻不對識感到厭惡。這是為什麼呢?因為他們看到四大組成的身體有增長、有減少、有獲取、有捨棄,而對於心、意、識,愚癡無知的凡夫卻不能產生厭惡、想要脫離、解脫。這是為什麼呢?因為他們長久以來對此執著,認為『這是我、我的所有、與我相關』。因此,愚癡無知的凡夫不能對此產生厭惡、想要脫離、捨棄。愚癡無知的凡夫寧願執著四大組成的身體為『我』、『我的所有』,也不願執著識為『我』、『我的所有』。這是為什麼呢?因為四大組成的身體有時能看到它存在十年、二十年、三十年,甚至一百年,如果好好保養,或許還能更久一點。而心、意、識卻日夜時刻,須臾之間就發生轉變,產生又滅亡。就像猴子在樹林間遊蕩,須臾之間就到處攀爬,抓住一根樹枝又放開,再去抓另一根。』

English version The Venerable Mahākoṣṭhila said: 'One who is disgusted with, detached from, and extinguished regarding old age and death is called a Dharma teacher; one who speaks of birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, the six sense bases, name and form, and consciousness, and is disgusted with, detached from, and extinguished regarding them, is called a Dharma teacher; if a bhikkhu is directed towards being disgusted with, detached from, and extinguished regarding old age and death, he is called a Dharma teacher; and so on, up to consciousness, if he is directed towards being disgusted with, detached from, and extinguished regarding it, he is called a Dharma teacher; if a bhikkhu is disgusted with, detached from, and extinguished regarding old age and death, and does not give rise to defilements, and his mind is well liberated, he is called a Dharma teacher; and so on, up to consciousness, if he is disgusted with, detached from, and extinguished regarding it, and does not give rise to defilements, and his mind is well liberated, he is called a Dharma teacher.' The Venerable Mahākoṣṭhila said to the Venerable Śāriputra: 'Excellent! Excellent! Among the disciples of the Blessed One, the one who is wise, clear, well-tamed, fearless, who has seen the nectar of the Dharma, and who has realized the nectar of the Dharma with his own body, is the Venerable Śāriputra. You are able to ask such profound questions of right knowledge, like a priceless jewel in the world, which people all wear on their heads. You are now like that, universally revered, respected, and served by all those who practice the holy life. Today, I have gained great benefit, having the opportunity to discuss such wonderful meanings with you.' Then, the two noble ones rejoiced with each other and returned to their respective dwellings. (289) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'A foolish, unlearned ordinary person is disgusted with, detached from, and abandons the four great elements of the body, but not consciousness. Why is that? Because they see that the four great elements of the body increase, decrease, are taken, and are abandoned, but regarding the mind, intellect, and consciousness, a foolish, unlearned ordinary person cannot generate disgust, detachment, or liberation. Why is that? Because for a long time they have cherished and clung to it, thinking, 『This is me, mine, and related to me.』 Therefore, a foolish, unlearned ordinary person cannot generate disgust, detachment, or abandonment towards it. A foolish, unlearned ordinary person would rather cling to the four great elements of the body as 『me』 and 『mine』 than cling to consciousness as 『me』 and 『mine.』 Why is that? Because the four great elements of the body can be seen to last for ten years, twenty, thirty, or even a hundred years, and if well cared for, perhaps even a little longer. But the mind, intellect, and consciousness change moment by moment, day and night, arising and ceasing. Like a monkey wandering in the forest, it quickly climbs everywhere, grasping one branch and letting go, then grasping another.'


。彼心、意、識亦復如是,異生、異滅。

「多聞聖弟子于諸緣起善思惟觀察,所謂樂觸緣生樂受,樂受覺時,如實知樂受覺;彼樂觸滅,樂觸因緣生受亦滅、止、清涼、息、沒。如樂受,苦觸、喜觸、憂觸、舍觸因緣生舍受,舍受覺時,如實知舍受覺;彼舍觸滅,彼舍觸因緣生舍受亦滅、止、清涼、息、沒。彼如是思惟:『此受觸生、觸樂、觸縛,彼彼觸樂故,彼彼受樂,彼彼觸樂滅,彼彼受樂亦滅、止、清涼、息、沒。』如是,多聞聖弟子於色生厭,于受、想、行、識生厭,厭故不樂,不樂故解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二九〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「愚癡無聞凡夫於四大色身生厭、離欲、背舍,但非識。所以者何?四大色身現有增減、有取、有舍,若心、若意、若識,彼愚癡無聞凡夫不能于識生厭、離欲、習舍,長夜保惜系我,若得、若取,言:是我、我所、相在。是故愚癡無聞凡夫不能于彼生厭、離欲、習舍。

「愚癡無聞凡夫寧於四大色身繫我、我所,不可於識系我、我所。所以者何?四大色身或見十年住,二十、三十,乃至百年,若善訊息或復少過。彼心、意、識日夜時刻,須臾不停,種種轉變,異生、異滅。譬如獼猴游林樹間,須臾處處,攀捉枝條,放一取一。彼心、意、識亦復如是,種種變易,異生、異滅

現代漢語譯本:他們的心、意、識也是如此,不斷地產生和消滅。 多聞的聖弟子善於思維觀察各種因緣生起,例如,樂觸緣起而生樂受,當感受到樂受時,如實地知道自己正在感受樂受;當樂觸滅去時,由樂觸因緣所生的樂受也隨之滅去、止息、清涼、寂靜、消失。如同樂受一樣,苦觸、喜觸、憂觸、舍觸因緣生起舍受,當感受到舍受時,如實地知道自己正在感受舍受;當舍觸滅去時,由舍觸因緣所生的舍受也隨之滅去、止息、清涼、寂靜、消失。他這樣思維:『這些感受是由於觸而生起、因觸而快樂、因觸而束縛,因為這個觸而快樂,所以感受也快樂,當這個觸滅去時,這個感受的快樂也隨之滅去、止息、清涼、寂靜、消失。』如此,多聞的聖弟子對色產生厭離,對受、想、行、識也產生厭離,因為厭離而不執著,因為不執著而解脫,解脫後生起智慧:『我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (二九〇) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『愚癡無知的凡夫會對四大組成的色身產生厭離、離欲、捨棄,但不會對識產生厭離。為什麼呢?因為四大組成的色身有增減、有取捨,而心、意、識,這些愚癡無知的凡夫卻不能對識產生厭離、離欲、捨棄,反而長久地執著、珍惜,認為『這是我』、『這是我的』、『與我相關』。所以愚癡無知的凡夫不能對識產生厭離、離欲、捨棄。 『愚癡無知的凡夫寧願執著四大組成的色身為我、我所,也不願執著識為我、我所。為什麼呢?因為四大組成的色身或許能存在十年、二十年、三十年,甚至一百年,如果保養得好,或許還能更久一點。而他們的心、意、識,日夜時刻,須臾不停,不斷地變化,產生和消滅。就像猴子在樹林間遊蕩,一會兒這裡,一會兒那裡,抓住這個枝條,又放開去抓另一個。他們的心、意、識也是如此,不斷地變化,產生和消滅。』

English version: Their mind, intention, and consciousness are also like this, arising and ceasing differently. A well-learned noble disciple, when contemplating the arising of conditions, understands that pleasant feeling arises from pleasant contact. When experiencing pleasant feeling, they truly know they are experiencing pleasant feeling. When that pleasant contact ceases, the pleasant feeling arising from that contact also ceases, stops, cools, calms, and disappears. Similarly, painful contact, joyful contact, sorrowful contact, and neutral contact give rise to neutral feeling. When experiencing neutral feeling, they truly know they are experiencing neutral feeling. When that neutral contact ceases, the neutral feeling arising from that contact also ceases, stops, cools, calms, and disappears. They contemplate thus: 'These feelings arise from contact, are pleasurable due to contact, and are bound by contact. Because of the pleasure of that contact, there is pleasure in that feeling. When that contact ceases, the pleasure of that feeling also ceases, stops, cools, calms, and disappears.' Thus, a well-learned noble disciple becomes weary of form, weary of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Because of this weariness, they are not attached. Because of non-attachment, they are liberated. Upon liberation, they gain the knowledge: 'My birth is exhausted, the holy life is lived, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.' Having heard the Buddha's discourse, the monks rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (290) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove at Kalandaka, near Rajagaha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'Ignorant, unlearned ordinary people may become weary of, detached from, and abandon the four great elements that constitute the physical body, but not consciousness. Why is that? Because the physical body composed of the four great elements is subject to increase and decrease, to being taken and abandoned. But as for the mind, intention, and consciousness, those ignorant, unlearned ordinary people cannot become weary of, detached from, and abandon consciousness. Instead, they cherish and cling to it for a long time, thinking, 'This is me,' 'This is mine,' 'This is related to me.' Therefore, ignorant, unlearned ordinary people cannot become weary of, detached from, and abandon consciousness.' 'Ignorant, unlearned ordinary people would rather cling to the physical body composed of the four great elements as 'me' and 'mine' than cling to consciousness as 'me' and 'mine.' Why is that? Because the physical body composed of the four great elements may last for ten years, twenty, thirty, or even a hundred years, or even a little longer if well cared for. But their mind, intention, and consciousness change constantly, moment by moment, without pause, arising and ceasing differently. Just like a monkey roaming through the forest, grasping one branch and then letting go to grasp another, their mind, intention, and consciousness are also like that, constantly changing, arising and ceasing differently.'


「多聞聖弟子于諸緣起思惟觀察,所謂樂觸緣生樂受,樂受覺時,如實知樂受覺;彼樂觸滅,樂因緣生樂受亦滅、止、清涼、息、沒。如樂受,苦觸、喜觸、憂觸、舍觸因緣生舍受,舍受覺時,如實知舍受覺;彼舍觸滅,舍觸因緣生舍受亦滅、止、清涼、息、沒。譬如兩木相磨,和合生火;若兩木離散,火亦隨滅。如是諸受緣觸集,觸生觸集,若彼彼觸集故,彼彼受亦集;彼彼觸集滅故,彼彼受集亦滅、止、清涼、息、沒。多聞聖弟子如是觀者,於色解脫,于受、想、行、識解脫,于生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦解脫,我說彼于苦得解脫。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二九一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我說內觸法,汝等為取不?」

時,有異比丘從座起,整衣服,稽首禮足,合掌白佛言:「世尊!所說內觸法,我已取也。」時,彼比丘于佛前如是如是自記說。如是如是世尊不悅。

爾時,尊者阿難在佛后執扇扇佛,佛告阿難:「如聖法、律內觸法,異於此比丘所說。」

阿難白佛:「今正是時,唯愿世尊為諸比丘說賢聖法、律內觸法,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告阿難:「善哉!諦聽,當爲汝說。此諸比丘取內觸法,應如是思惟:『若眾生所有種種眾苦生,此苦何因、何集、何生、何觸?』作如是取時,當知此苦億波提因、億波提集、億波提生、億波提轉

現代漢語譯本:

'多聞的聖弟子對各種因緣生起進行思考觀察,例如,樂觸緣起而生樂受,當感受到樂受時,如實地知道自己正在感受樂受;當樂觸滅去時,由樂觸因緣而生的樂受也會滅去、止息、清涼、平靜、消失。如同樂受一樣,苦觸、喜觸、憂觸、舍觸因緣生起舍受,當感受到舍受時,如實地知道自己正在感受舍受;當舍觸滅去時,由舍觸因緣而生的舍受也會滅去、止息、清涼、平靜、消失。譬如兩塊木頭互相摩擦,結合在一起就會生火;如果兩塊木頭分開,火也會隨之熄滅。同樣的道理,各種感受是由於觸的聚集而產生,觸的產生是由於觸的聚集,如果各種觸聚集,各種感受也會聚集;如果各種觸的聚集滅去,各種感受的聚集也會滅去、止息、清涼、平靜、消失。多聞的聖弟子這樣觀察,就能從色解脫,從受、想、行、識解脫,從生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦解脫,我說這樣的人就從痛苦中得到了解脫。'

'佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地接受並奉行。'

'(二九一)'

'如是我聞:'

'一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。'

'當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我說內觸法,你們接受嗎?』'

'這時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀頂禮,合掌對佛陀說:『世尊!您所說的內觸法,我已經接受了。』當時,這位比丘在佛陀面前這樣那樣地自我表述。這樣那樣地,世尊並不高興。'

'當時,尊者阿難在佛陀身後拿著扇子為佛陀扇風,佛陀告訴阿難:『聖法、律中的內觸法,與這位比丘所說的不同。』'

'阿難對佛陀說:『現在正是時候,希望世尊為眾比丘講解賢聖法、律中的內觸法,眾比丘聽了之後,應當接受並奉行。』'

'佛陀告訴阿難:『很好!仔細聽,我將為你們講解。這些比丘接受內觸法,應當這樣思考:『如果眾生有各種各樣的痛苦產生,這些痛苦是什麼原因、什麼集起、什麼生起、什麼觸?』當這樣接受時,應當知道這些痛苦是由於億波提因、億波提集、億波提生、億波提轉。' 現代漢語譯本:

'多聞的聖弟子觀察諸緣起,例如,樂觸生起樂受,當樂受生起時,如實知樂受生起;當樂觸滅時,樂觸所生的樂受也滅、止、清涼、息、沒。如同樂受,苦觸、喜觸、憂觸、舍觸生起舍受,當舍受生起時,如實知舍受生起;當舍觸滅時,舍觸所生的舍受也滅、止、清涼、息、沒。譬如兩木相磨,和合生火;若兩木離散,火亦隨滅。如是諸受緣觸集,觸生觸集,若彼彼觸集故,彼彼受亦集;彼彼觸集滅故,彼彼受集亦滅、止、清涼、息、沒。多聞聖弟子如是觀者,於色解脫,于受、想、行、識解脫,于生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦解脫,我說彼于苦得解脫。'

English version:

'A well-learned noble disciple contemplates and observes the arising of various conditions. For example, pleasant contact gives rise to pleasant feeling. When a pleasant feeling is felt, one truly knows that a pleasant feeling is being felt. When that pleasant contact ceases, the pleasant feeling arising from the condition of pleasant contact also ceases, stops, cools, calms, and disappears. Just like pleasant feeling, painful contact, joyful contact, sorrowful contact, and neutral contact give rise to neutral feeling. When a neutral feeling is felt, one truly knows that a neutral feeling is being felt. When that neutral contact ceases, the neutral feeling arising from the condition of neutral contact also ceases, stops, cools, calms, and disappears. It is like two pieces of wood rubbing together, combining to produce fire. If the two pieces of wood are separated, the fire will also go out. In the same way, various feelings arise from the gathering of contact, the arising of contact is due to the gathering of contact. If various contacts gather, various feelings also gather. If the gathering of various contacts ceases, the gathering of various feelings also ceases, stops, cools, calms, and disappears. A well-learned noble disciple who observes in this way is liberated from form, liberated from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. I say that such a person is liberated from suffering.'

'After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them.'

'(291)'

'Thus have I heard:'

'At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha.'

'At that time, the Blessed One said to the monks, 『I speak of the internal contact dharma, do you accept it?』'

'Then, a certain monk rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, bowed at the feet of the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha, 『Venerable Sir, the internal contact dharma that you spoke of, I have accepted it.』 At that time, that monk was thus and thus declaring himself before the Buddha. Thus and thus, the Blessed One was not pleased.'

'At that time, Venerable Ananda was behind the Buddha, fanning him with a fan. The Buddha said to Ananda, 『The internal contact dharma in the holy Dharma and Discipline is different from what this monk has said.』'

'Ananda said to the Buddha, 『Now is the right time, may the Blessed One please explain the internal contact dharma in the noble Dharma and Discipline to the monks. Having heard it, the monks should accept and practice it.』'

'The Buddha said to Ananda, 『Good! Listen carefully, I will explain it to you. These monks who accept the internal contact dharma should think like this: 『If all kinds of suffering arise in beings, what is the cause, what is the origin, what is the arising, what is the contact of this suffering?』 When accepting it in this way, one should know that this suffering is due to the cause of '億波提', the gathering of '億波提', the arising of '億波提', and the transformation of '億波提'.' English version:

'A well-learned noble disciple observes the arising of conditions. For example, pleasant contact gives rise to pleasant feeling. When pleasant feeling arises, one truly knows that pleasant feeling arises. When pleasant contact ceases, the pleasant feeling arising from pleasant contact also ceases, stops, cools, calms, and disappears.

In the same way, various feelings arise from the gathering of contact, the arising of contact is due to the gathering of contact. If various contacts gather, various feelings also gather. If the gathering of various contacts ceases, the gathering of various feelings also ceases, stops, cools, calms, and disappears. A well-learned noble disciple who observes in this way is liberated from form, liberated from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. I say that such a person is liberated from suffering.'

'After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them.'

'(291)'

'Thus have I heard:'

'At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha.'

'At that time, the Blessed One said to the monks, 『I speak of the internal contact dharma, do you accept it?』'

'Then, a certain monk rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, bowed at the feet of the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha, 『Venerable Sir, the internal contact dharma that you spoke of, I have accepted it.』 At that time, that monk was thus and thus declaring himself before the Buddha. Thus and thus, the Blessed One was not pleased.'

'At that time, Venerable Ananda was behind the Buddha, fanning him with a fan. The Buddha said to Ananda, 『The internal contact dharma in the holy Dharma and Discipline is different from what this monk has said.』'

'Ananda said to the Buddha, 『Now is the right time, may the Blessed One please explain the internal contact dharma in the noble Dharma and Discipline to the monks. Having heard it, the monks should accept and practice it.』'

'The Buddha said to Ananda, 『Good! Listen carefully, I will explain it to you. These monks who accept the internal contact dharma should think like this: 『If all kinds of suffering arise in beings, what is the cause, what is the origin, what is the arising, what is the contact of this suffering?』 When accepting it in this way, one should know that this suffering is due to the cause of '億波提', the gathering of '億波提', the arising of '億波提', and the transformation of '億波提'.'


「複次,比丘內觸法,又億波提何因、何集、何生、何觸?彼取時當復知億波提愛因、愛集、愛生、愛觸。

「複次,比丘取內觸法,當復知愛何因、何集、何生、何觸。如是取時當知世間所念諦正之色,于彼愛生而生、系而系、住而住。

「若諸沙門、婆羅門於世間所念諦正之色,作常想、恒想、安隱想、無病想、我想、我所想而見,則於此色愛增長;愛增長已,億波提增長,億波提增長已,苦增長;苦增長已,則不解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,我說彼不解脫苦。譬如路側清涼池水,香味具足,有人以毒著中,陽春之月,諸行路者風熱渴逼,競來欲飲。有人語言:『士夫!此是清涼,色香味具足,然中有毒,汝等勿飲。若當飲者,或令汝死,或近死苦。而彼渴者不信而飲,雖得美味,須臾或死,或近死苦。』如是,沙門婆羅門見世間可念端政之色,作常見、恒見、安隱見、無病見、我、我所見,乃至不得解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。

「若諸沙門、婆羅門於世間可念端政之色觀察如病、如癰、如刺、如殺、無常、苦、空、非我,彼愛則離,愛離故億波提離,億波提離故則苦離,苦離故則生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦離。譬如路側清涼池水,香味具足,有人以毒著中,陽春之月,諸行路者風熱渴逼,競來欲飲,有人語言:『此水有毒!汝等勿飲,若當飲者,或令汝死,或近死苦。』彼則念言:『此水有毒,若當飲者,或令我死,或近死苦,我且忍渴,食干麨飯,不取水飲

現代漢語譯本: 『再者,比丘觀察內在的觸法,又會思考:『億波提』的因是什麼?它的集起是什麼?它的生起是什麼?它的觸是什麼?』當他取著時,應當進一步知道『億波提』的愛因、愛集、愛生、愛觸。 『再者,比丘取著內在的觸法時,應當進一步知道愛的因是什麼?愛的集起是什麼?愛的生起是什麼?愛的觸是什麼?』像這樣取著時,應當知道世間所認為真實美好的色法,對於這些色法,愛生起而生起,繫縛而繫縛,住著而住著。 『如果沙門、婆羅門對於世間所認為真實美好的色法,產生常想、恒想、安穩想、無病想、我想、我所想的見解,那麼對於這種色法的愛就會增長;愛增長后,『億波提』就會增長,『億波提』增長后,苦就會增長;苦增長后,就不能從生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦中解脫,我說他們不能解脫苦。』譬如路邊有清涼的水池,香味俱全,有人在其中放入毒藥,在春光明媚的季節,許多趕路的人被風熱和口渴所逼迫,爭相前來飲用。有人告訴他們:『各位!這水清涼,色香味俱全,但其中有毒,你們不要喝。如果喝了,可能會讓你們死亡,或者接近死亡的痛苦。』而那些口渴的人不相信,仍然飲用,雖然嚐到了美味,但片刻之後,或許會死亡,或者接近死亡的痛苦。』同樣,沙門、婆羅門看到世間令人喜愛、端正的色法,產生常見、恒見、安穩見、無病見、我見、我所見的想法,最終不能解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。 『如果沙門、婆羅門對於世間令人喜愛、端正的色法,觀察它們如病、如癰、如刺、如殺、無常、苦、空、非我,那麼他們的愛就會離去,愛離去後,『億波提』就會離去,『億波提』離去後,苦就會離去,苦離去後,就會從生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦中解脫。』譬如路邊有清涼的水池,香味俱全,有人在其中放入毒藥,在春光明媚的季節,許多趕路的人被風熱和口渴所逼迫,爭相前來飲用。有人告訴他們:『這水有毒!你們不要喝,如果喝了,可能會讓你們死亡,或者接近死亡的痛苦。』他們就會想:『這水有毒,如果喝了,可能會讓我死亡,或者接近死亡的痛苦,我寧願忍受口渴,吃乾糧,也不喝這水。』

English version: 『Furthermore, a bhikkhu, when experiencing internal contact, also considers: 『What is the cause of 『uppatti』 (arising)? What is its origin? What is its birth? What is its contact?』 When he grasps, he should further know the cause of love, the origin of love, the birth of love, and the contact of love in relation to 『uppatti』. 『Furthermore, when a bhikkhu grasps internal contact, he should further know what is the cause of love, what is the origin of love, what is the birth of love, and what is the contact of love. When grasping in this way, he should know that the forms which are considered true and beautiful in the world, in relation to those forms, love arises and arises, is bound and is bound, dwells and dwells. 『If the ascetics and brahmins, regarding the forms which are considered true and beautiful in the world, perceive them as permanent, constant, secure, without disease, as 『I』 and 『mine』, then love for these forms will increase; when love increases, 『uppatti』 increases, when 『uppatti』 increases, suffering increases; when suffering increases, they will not be liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. I say they are not liberated from suffering.』 It is like a clear pool of water by the roadside, full of fragrance and flavor, into which someone has put poison. In the spring season, many travelers, driven by the heat and thirst, rush to drink. Someone tells them: 『Gentlemen! This water is clear, full of color, fragrance, and flavor, but it is poisoned, you should not drink it. If you drink it, it may cause your death, or bring you near the suffering of death.』 But those who are thirsty do not believe and still drink. Although they taste the deliciousness, in a moment they may die, or come near the suffering of death.』 Similarly, ascetics and brahmins, seeing the forms in the world that are pleasing and beautiful, perceive them as permanent, constant, secure, without disease, as 『I』 and 『mine』, and ultimately cannot be liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. 『If the ascetics and brahmins, regarding the forms in the world that are pleasing and beautiful, observe them as sickness, as a boil, as a thorn, as a killing, as impermanent, as suffering, as empty, as not-self, then their love will depart, when love departs, 『uppatti』 departs, when 『uppatti』 departs, suffering departs, when suffering departs, they will be liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering.』 It is like a clear pool of water by the roadside, full of fragrance and flavor, into which someone has put poison. In the spring season, many travelers, driven by the heat and thirst, rush to drink. Someone tells them: 『This water is poisoned! You should not drink it, if you drink it, it may cause your death, or bring you near the suffering of death.』 Then they will think: 『This water is poisoned, if I drink it, it may cause my death, or bring me near the suffering of death, I would rather endure the thirst and eat dry bread, than drink this water.』


。』如是,沙門、婆羅門於世間可念之色觀察如病、如癰、如刺、如殺、無常、苦、空、非我,乃至解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。是故,阿難!於此法如是見、如是聞、如是覺、如是知,於過去、未來亦如此道。如是觀察。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二九二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「云何思量觀察正盡苦,究竟苦邊?時,思量眾生所有眾苦,種種差別,此諸苦何因、何集、何生、何觸?思量取因、取集、取生、取觸。若彼取滅無餘,眾苦則滅,彼所乘苦滅道跡如實知,修行彼向次法,是名比丘向正盡苦,究竟苦邊,所謂取滅。

「複次,比丘思量觀察正盡苦,究竟苦邊。時,思量彼取何因、何集、何生、何觸?思量彼取愛因、愛集、愛生、愛觸。彼愛永滅無餘,取亦隨滅,彼所乘取滅道跡如實知,修習彼向次法,是名比丘向正盡苦,究竟苦邊,所謂愛滅。

「複次,比丘思量觀察正盡苦,究竟苦邊。則思量彼愛何因、何集、何生、何觸?知彼愛受因、受集、受生、受觸。彼受永滅無餘,則愛滅,彼所乘愛滅道跡如實知,修習彼向次法,是名比丘向正盡苦,究竟苦邊,所謂受滅。

「複次,比丘思量觀察正盡苦,究竟苦邊。時,思量彼受何因、何集、何生、何觸?知彼受觸因、觸集、觸生、觸緣。彼觸永滅無餘,則受滅,彼所乘觸滅道跡如實知,修習彼向次法,是名比丘向正盡苦,究竟苦邊。

「複次,比丘思量觀察正盡苦,究竟苦邊

現代漢語譯本:『如此,沙門和婆羅門觀察世間可被感知的色法,視其如疾病、如毒瘡、如尖刺、如殺戮,是無常的、痛苦的、空虛的、非自我的,乃至從中解脫生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、苦惱和痛苦。因此,阿難!對於此法,要如此見、如此聞、如此覺、如此知,對於過去和未來也要遵循此道。要如此觀察。』 佛陀說完此經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (二九二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如何思考觀察才能真正地滅盡痛苦,達到痛苦的終點呢?』當時,思考眾生所遭受的各種痛苦,種種差別,這些痛苦的起因、集結、產生和接觸是什麼?思考執取的起因、集結、產生和接觸。如果執取完全滅盡,那麼所有的痛苦都會滅盡,如實地知道那通往執取滅盡的道路,修行那通往滅盡的次第法,這就叫做比丘走向真正滅盡痛苦,達到痛苦的終點,也就是執取的滅盡。 『再者,比丘思考觀察如何才能真正滅盡痛苦,達到痛苦的終點。』當時,思考執取的起因、集結、產生和接觸是什麼?思考執取的起因、集結、產生和接觸是愛。如果愛完全滅盡,那麼執取也會隨之滅盡,如實地知道那通往愛滅盡的道路,修行那通往滅盡的次第法,這就叫做比丘走向真正滅盡痛苦,達到痛苦的終點,也就是愛的滅盡。 『再者,比丘思考觀察如何才能真正滅盡痛苦,達到痛苦的終點。』那麼,思考愛的起因、集結、產生和接觸是什麼?知道愛的起因、集結、產生和接觸是感受。如果感受完全滅盡,那麼愛也會滅盡,如實地知道那通往感受滅盡的道路,修行那通往滅盡的次第法,這就叫做比丘走向真正滅盡痛苦,達到痛苦的終點,也就是感受的滅盡。 『再者,比丘思考觀察如何才能真正滅盡痛苦,達到痛苦的終點。』當時,思考感受的起因、集結、產生和接觸是什麼?知道感受的起因、集結、產生和接觸是觸。如果觸完全滅盡,那麼感受也會滅盡,如實地知道那通往觸滅盡的道路,修行那通往滅盡的次第法,這就叫做比丘走向真正滅盡痛苦,達到痛苦的終點。 『再者,比丘思考觀察如何才能真正滅盡痛苦,達到痛苦的終點。

English version: 'Thus, monks and brahmins observe the perceptible forms in the world as if they were diseases, sores, thorns, killings, impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self, even to the point of liberation from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and pain. Therefore, Ananda! Regarding this Dharma, see it thus, hear it thus, perceive it thus, know it thus, and follow this path in the past and future as well. Observe it in this way.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (292) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the World Honored One said to the monks: 'How does one contemplate and observe to truly end suffering and reach the end of suffering?' At that time, contemplate the various sufferings of beings, the various differences, what are the causes, the arising, the origin, and the contact of these sufferings? Contemplate the causes, the arising, the origin, and the contact of grasping. If that grasping is completely extinguished, then all sufferings will be extinguished. Truly know the path that leads to the extinction of grasping, practice the sequential Dharma that leads to that extinction, and this is called a monk moving towards the true end of suffering, reaching the end of suffering, which is the extinction of grasping. 'Furthermore, a monk contemplates and observes how to truly end suffering and reach the end of suffering.' At that time, contemplate what are the causes, the arising, the origin, and the contact of that grasping? Contemplate that the causes, the arising, the origin, and the contact of grasping are craving. If that craving is completely extinguished, then grasping will also be extinguished. Truly know the path that leads to the extinction of craving, practice the sequential Dharma that leads to that extinction, and this is called a monk moving towards the true end of suffering, reaching the end of suffering, which is the extinction of craving. 'Furthermore, a monk contemplates and observes how to truly end suffering and reach the end of suffering.' Then, contemplate what are the causes, the arising, the origin, and the contact of that craving? Know that the causes, the arising, the origin, and the contact of craving are feeling. If that feeling is completely extinguished, then craving will also be extinguished. Truly know the path that leads to the extinction of feeling, practice the sequential Dharma that leads to that extinction, and this is called a monk moving towards the true end of suffering, reaching the end of suffering, which is the extinction of feeling. 'Furthermore, a monk contemplates and observes how to truly end suffering and reach the end of suffering.' At that time, contemplate what are the causes, the arising, the origin, and the contact of that feeling? Know that the causes, the arising, the origin, and the contact of feeling are contact. If that contact is completely extinguished, then feeling will also be extinguished. Truly know the path that leads to the extinction of contact, practice the sequential Dharma that leads to that extinction, and this is called a monk moving towards the true end of suffering, reaching the end of suffering. 'Furthermore, a monk contemplates and observes how to truly end suffering and reach the end of suffering.'


。時,思量彼觸何因、何集、何生、何觸?當知彼觸六入處因、六入處集、六入處生、六入處觸。彼六入處欲滅無餘,則觸滅,彼所乘六入處滅道跡如實知,修習彼向次法,是名比丘向正盡苦,究竟苦邊。

「是故當知,彼行無明因、無明集、無明生、無明觸

現代漢語譯本:當(比丘)思考時,他會思量那個觸覺的起因、集結、產生和接觸是什麼?他應當知道那個觸覺是由於六入處而起、六入處集結、六入處產生、六入處接觸。當六入處完全滅盡時,觸覺就會滅盡。他如實地知道那通往六入處滅盡的道路,並修習那些相應的法,這就叫做比丘走向真正的苦的止息,到達苦的盡頭。 再者,比丘思考觀察真正的苦的止息,到達苦的盡頭。這時,他會思量那六入處的起因、集結、產生和接觸是什麼?他知道那六入處是由於名色而起、名色集結、名色產生、名色接觸。當名色完全滅盡時,六入處就會滅盡。他如實地知道那通往名色滅盡的道路,並修習那些相應的法,這就叫做比丘走向真正的苦的止息,到達苦的盡頭,也就是名色的滅盡。 再者,比丘思考真正的苦的止息,到達苦的盡頭。這時,他會思量名色的起因、集結、產生和接觸是什麼?他知道那名色是由於識而起、識集結、識產生、識接觸。當識完全滅盡時,名色就會滅盡。他如實地知道那通往識滅盡的道路,並修習那些相應的法,這就叫做比丘走向真正的苦的止息,到達苦的盡頭,也就是識的滅盡。 再者,比丘思考觀察真正的苦的止息,到達苦的盡頭。這時,他會思量那個識的起因、集結、產生和接觸是什麼?他知道那個識是由於行而起、行集結、行產生、行接觸。如果造作福行,就會產生善識;如果造作不福不善行,就會產生不善識;如果造作無所有行,就會產生無所有識。這就是那個識的起因、集結、產生和接觸。當行完全滅盡時,識就會滅盡。他如實地知道那通往行滅盡的道路,並修習那些相應的法,這就叫做比丘走向真正的苦的止息,到達苦的盡頭,也就是行的滅盡。 再者,比丘思考觀察真正的苦的止息,到達苦的盡頭。這時,他會思量那個行的起因、集結、產生和接觸是什麼?他知道那個行是由於無明而起、無明集結、無明產生、無明接觸。福行是由於無明為緣,非福行也是由於無明為緣,非福非不福行也是由於無明為緣。 因此應當知道,那個行是由於無明而起、無明集結、無明產生、無明接觸。

English version: When (a bhikkhu) reflects, he contemplates what is the cause, the arising, the origin, and the contact of that feeling. He should know that that feeling is due to the six sense bases, the arising of the six sense bases, the origin of the six sense bases, and the contact of the six sense bases. When the six sense bases are completely extinguished, feeling will be extinguished. He truly knows the path that leads to the extinction of the six sense bases, and practices those corresponding dharmas. This is called a bhikkhu moving towards the true cessation of suffering, reaching the end of suffering. Furthermore, a bhikkhu reflects and observes the true cessation of suffering, reaching the end of suffering. At this time, he contemplates what is the cause, the arising, the origin, and the contact of those six sense bases? He knows that those six sense bases are due to name and form, the arising of name and form, the origin of name and form, and the contact of name and form. When name and form are completely extinguished, the six sense bases will be extinguished. He truly knows the path that leads to the extinction of name and form, and practices those corresponding dharmas. This is called a bhikkhu moving towards the true cessation of suffering, reaching the end of suffering, which is the extinction of name and form. Furthermore, a bhikkhu reflects on the true cessation of suffering, reaching the end of suffering. At this time, he contemplates what is the cause, the arising, the origin, and the contact of name and form? He knows that name and form are due to consciousness, the arising of consciousness, the origin of consciousness, and the contact of consciousness. When consciousness is completely extinguished, name and form will be extinguished. He truly knows the path that leads to the extinction of consciousness, and practices those corresponding dharmas. This is called a bhikkhu moving towards the true cessation of suffering, reaching the end of suffering, which is the extinction of consciousness. Furthermore, a bhikkhu reflects and observes the true cessation of suffering, reaching the end of suffering. At this time, he contemplates what is the cause, the arising, the origin, and the contact of that consciousness? He knows that that consciousness is due to volitional formations, the arising of volitional formations, the origin of volitional formations, and the contact of volitional formations. If one performs meritorious volitional formations, good consciousness will arise; if one performs demeritorious volitional formations, bad consciousness will arise; if one performs non-volitional formations, non-volitional consciousness will arise. This is the cause, the arising, the origin, and the contact of that consciousness. When volitional formations are completely extinguished, consciousness will be extinguished. He truly knows the path that leads to the extinction of volitional formations, and practices those corresponding dharmas. This is called a bhikkhu moving towards the true cessation of suffering, reaching the end of suffering, which is the extinction of volitional formations. Furthermore, a bhikkhu reflects and observes the true cessation of suffering, reaching the end of suffering. At this time, he contemplates what is the cause, the arising, the origin, and the contact of those volitional formations? He knows that those volitional formations are due to ignorance, the arising of ignorance, the origin of ignorance, and the contact of ignorance. Meritorious volitional formations are conditioned by ignorance, demeritorious volitional formations are also conditioned by ignorance, and neither meritorious nor demeritorious volitional formations are also conditioned by ignorance. Therefore, it should be known that those volitional formations are due to ignorance, the arising of ignorance, the origin of ignorance, and the contact of ignorance.


「是故當知,彼行無明因、無明集、無明生、無明觸。彼無明永滅無餘,則行滅,彼所乘無明滅道跡如實知,修習彼向次法,是名比丘向正盡苦,究竟苦邊,所謂無明滅。」

佛告比丘:「于意云何?若不樂無明而生明,復緣彼無明作福行、非福行、無所有行不?」

比丘白佛:「不也,世尊!所以者何?多聞聖弟子不樂無明而生明,無明滅則行滅,行滅則識滅,如是乃至生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,如是如是純大苦聚滅。」

佛言:「善哉!善哉!比丘!我亦如是說,汝亦知此。于彼彼法起彼彼法,生彼彼法,滅彼彼法,滅、止、清涼、息、沒。若多聞聖弟子無明離欲而生明,身份齊受所覺,身份齊受所覺時如實知;若壽分齊受所覺,壽分齊受所覺時如實知;身壞時壽命欲盡,於此諸受一切所覺滅盡無餘。譬如力士取新熟瓦器,乘熱置地,須臾散壞,熱勢悉滅。如是,比丘無明離欲而生明,身份齊受所覺如實知,壽分齊受所覺如實知,身壞命終,一切受所覺悉滅無餘。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

現代漢語譯本:

「因此應當知道,那些行為的根源是無明,無明是行為的集起,無明是行為的產生,無明是行為的觸因。當無明徹底滅盡無餘時,行為也就滅盡了。當如實地知道並修習那導致無明滅盡的道路時,這位比丘就走向了真正的苦盡,到達了苦的終點,這就是所謂的無明滅盡。」

佛陀告訴比丘們:「你們認為如何?如果不再執著于無明而生起智慧,還會因為無明而造作福業、非福業、無所有業嗎?」

比丘們回答佛陀:「不會的,世尊!為什麼呢?因為多聞的聖弟子不再執著于無明而生起智慧,當無明滅盡時,行為也就滅盡;當行為滅盡時,意識也就滅盡;如此乃至生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦都滅盡,這樣,整個巨大的苦蘊就滅盡了。」

佛陀說:「好啊!好啊!比丘們!我也是這樣說的,你們也理解了這個道理。在各種因緣條件下,產生各種現象,當各種現象生起時,也會有各種現象滅盡,達到滅、止、清涼、寂靜、消沒的狀態。如果多聞的聖弟子不再執著于無明而生起智慧,當他感受到身體的感受時,他會如實地知道身體的感受;當他感受到壽命的感受時,他會如實地知道壽命的感受;當身體壞滅、壽命將盡時,所有這些感受都將徹底滅盡無餘。就像一個力士拿起一個剛燒好的瓦器,趁熱放在地上,片刻之間就會散裂破碎,熱力也完全消失。同樣,比丘不再執著于無明而生起智慧,當他如實地知道身體的感受,如實地知道壽命的感受,當身體壞滅、壽命終結時,所有感受都將徹底滅盡無餘。」

佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。

Okay, here's the English translation:

"Therefore, it should be understood that those actions have ignorance as their cause, ignorance as their origin, ignorance as their arising, and ignorance as their contact. When that ignorance is completely extinguished without remainder, then actions cease. When the path that leads to the extinction of ignorance is truly known and practiced, that monk is said to be heading towards the true end of suffering, reaching the ultimate end of suffering, which is the extinction of ignorance."

The Buddha said to the monks, "What do you think? If one no longer delights in ignorance but gives rise to wisdom, would one still create meritorious actions, demeritorious actions, or imperturbable actions based on that ignorance?"

The monks replied to the Buddha, "No, Venerable Sir! Why is that? Because a well-taught noble disciple no longer delights in ignorance but gives rise to wisdom. When ignorance ceases, actions cease; when actions cease, consciousness ceases; and so on, until birth, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair all cease. In this way, this entire great mass of suffering ceases."

The Buddha said, "Excellent! Excellent, monks! That is how I also speak, and you have understood this. Under various conditions, various phenomena arise, and when those phenomena arise, they also cease, reaching a state of cessation, stillness, coolness, peace, and disappearance. If a well-taught noble disciple abandons desire for ignorance and gives rise to wisdom, when he experiences bodily sensations, he knows bodily sensations as they truly are; when he experiences sensations related to the life-span, he knows sensations related to the life-span as they truly are. When the body breaks down and life is about to end, all these sensations will completely cease without remainder. Just as a strong man might take a newly fired clay pot, place it on the ground while it is still hot, and in a moment it would shatter and break, and the heat would completely dissipate. Similarly, a monk who abandons desire for ignorance and gives rise to wisdom, when he truly knows bodily sensations, truly knows sensations related to the life-span, when the body breaks down and life ends, all sensations will completely cease without remainder."

Having spoken this discourse, the monks, delighted by the Buddha's words, accepted and practiced them.

(二九三)如是我聞:一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告異比丘:「我已度疑,離於猶豫,拔邪見刺,不復退轉。心無所著故,何處有我為彼比丘說法?為彼比丘說賢聖出世空相應緣起隨順法,所謂有是故是事有,是事有故是事起。所謂緣無明行,緣行識,緣識名色,緣名色六入處,緣六入處觸,緣觸受,緣受愛,緣愛取,緣取有,緣有生,緣生老、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如是如是純大苦聚集,乃至如是純大苦聚滅。

「如是說法,而彼比丘猶有疑惑猶豫,先不得得想、不獲獲想、不證證想,今聞法已,心生憂苦、悔恨、蒙沒、障礙

現代漢語譯本:我聽聞是這樣:一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴一位比丘:『我已經超越了疑惑,脫離了猶豫,拔除了邪見的刺,不再退轉。因為心中沒有任何執著,我為何要為那位比丘說法呢?我為那位比丘宣說與賢聖出世的空性相應的緣起隨順法,也就是「因為有這個,所以有那個;因為有那個,所以那個生起」。所謂緣于無明而有行,緣於行而有識,緣于識而有名色,緣于名色而有六入處,緣於六入處而有觸,緣于觸而有受,緣于受而有愛,緣于愛而有取,緣于取而有有,緣于有而有生,緣于生而有老、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。像這樣,像這樣純粹的大苦聚集,乃至像這樣純粹的大苦聚滅。』 『像這樣說法,而那位比丘仍然有疑惑猶豫,先前沒有得到得想,沒有獲得獲想,沒有證悟證想,現在聽聞佛法后,心中產生憂愁痛苦、悔恨、矇昧、障礙。』

English version: Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World-Honored One said to a certain bhikkhu: 'I have already crossed over doubt, departed from hesitation, pulled out the thorn of wrong views, and will not regress. Because my mind is without attachment, why should I preach the Dharma to that bhikkhu? I preach to that bhikkhu the Dharma of dependent origination that accords with the noble and transcendent emptiness, that is, 「because this exists, that exists; because that exists, that arises.」 That is, conditioned by ignorance, there are volitional formations; conditioned by volitional formations, there is consciousness; conditioned by consciousness, there are name and form; conditioned by name and form, there are the six sense bases; conditioned by the six sense bases, there is contact; conditioned by contact, there is feeling; conditioned by feeling, there is craving; conditioned by craving, there is clinging; conditioned by clinging, there is becoming; conditioned by becoming, there is birth; conditioned by birth, there are old age, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair. Thus, thus does this entire mass of suffering arise, and thus, thus does this entire mass of suffering cease.' 'Having spoken thus, that bhikkhu still has doubt and hesitation. Previously, he did not attain the thought of attainment, did not obtain the thought of obtaining, and did not realize the thought of realization. Now, having heard the Dharma, his mind generates sorrow, pain, regret, confusion, and obstruction.'


。所以者何?此甚深處,所謂緣起,倍復甚深難見,所謂一切取離、愛盡、無慾、寂滅、涅槃;如此二法,謂有為、無為,有為者若生、若住、若異、若滅,無為者不生、不住、不異、不滅,是名比丘諸行苦寂滅涅槃。因集故苦集,因滅故苦滅,斷諸逕路,滅于相續,相續滅滅,是名苦邊。比丘!彼何所滅?謂有餘苦,彼若滅、止、清涼、息、沒,所謂一切取滅、愛盡、無慾、寂滅、涅槃。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二九四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「愚癡無聞凡夫無明覆、愛緣系,得此識身。內有此識身,外有名色,此二因緣生觸

現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?因為這非常深奧,所謂的緣起,更是深奧難見。所謂的捨棄一切執取、愛慾止息、沒有貪慾、寂靜、涅槃。像這樣兩種法,即有為法和無為法。有為法有生、住、異、滅,無為法不生、不住、不異、不滅。這叫做比丘們,諸行寂滅的涅槃。因為集起,所以苦也集起;因為滅盡,所以苦也滅盡。斷絕一切途徑,滅除相續,相續滅盡,這就叫做苦的邊際。比丘們,那是什麼滅盡呢?就是有餘的苦,它如果滅盡、止息、清涼、平息、消失,就是所謂的捨棄一切執取、愛慾止息、沒有貪慾、寂靜、涅槃。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (二九四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『愚癡無知的凡夫被無明覆蓋,被愛慾束縛,因此得到了這個識身。內在有這個識身,外在有名色,這兩者因緣而產生觸。』

English version: What is the reason for this? It is because this is very profound, what is called dependent origination, is even more profound and difficult to see. What is called the abandonment of all grasping, the cessation of craving, the absence of desire, tranquility, and Nirvana. These two kinds of dharmas, namely conditioned and unconditioned. Conditioned dharmas have arising, abiding, changing, and ceasing; unconditioned dharmas do not arise, do not abide, do not change, and do not cease. This is called, bhikkhus, the Nirvana of the cessation of all formations. Because of the arising, suffering arises; because of the cessation, suffering ceases. Cutting off all paths, extinguishing the continuity, the extinction of continuity, this is called the end of suffering. Bhikkhus, what is it that ceases? It is the remaining suffering, which if it ceases, stops, cools, calms, and disappears, is what is called the abandonment of all grasping, the cessation of craving, the absence of desire, tranquility, and Nirvana. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (294) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Ignorant and unlearned ordinary people are covered by ignorance and bound by craving, thus obtaining this body of consciousness. Internally, there is this body of consciousness, and externally, there is name and form. These two conditions give rise to contact.'


。此六觸入所觸,愚癡無聞凡夫苦樂受覺,因起種種。云何為六?眼觸入處,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處。若黠慧者無明覆,愛緣系得此識身。如是內有識身,外有名色,此二緣生六觸入處,六觸所觸故,智者生苦樂受覺,因起種種。何等為六?眼觸入處,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處。愚夫、黠慧,彼於我所修諸梵者,有何差別?」

比丘白佛言:「世尊是法根、法眼、法依。善哉!世尊!唯愿演說,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。諸比丘!彼愚癡無聞凡夫無明所覆,愛緣所繫,得此識身,彼無明不斷,愛緣不盡,身壞命終,還復受身;還受身故,不得解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦

現代漢語譯本:這六種接觸的入口所接觸的事物,愚癡無知的凡夫會感受到苦樂,並因此產生種種感受。這六種是什麼呢?是眼睛接觸的入口,耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體和意識接觸的入口。如果是有智慧的人,雖然被無明覆蓋,被愛慾所束縛而得到這個有意識的身體。這樣,內在有意識的身體,外在有名色,這兩者相互作用產生六種接觸的入口。因為這六種接觸所接觸的事物,有智慧的人會感受到苦樂,並因此產生種種感受。這六種是什麼呢?是眼睛接觸的入口,耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體和意識接觸的入口。愚笨的人和有智慧的人,他們在修行梵行方面有什麼差別呢?' 比丘對佛說:'世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠。太好了!世尊!請您為我們演說,各位比丘聽了之後,一定會接受並奉行。' 這時,世尊告訴各位比丘:'仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。各位比丘!那些愚癡無知的凡夫被無明所覆蓋,被愛慾所束縛,得到這個有意識的身體,他們無明沒有斷除,愛慾沒有窮盡,身體壞滅,生命終結后,還會再次受生;因為再次受生,就無法解脫生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、苦惱、痛苦。'

English version: These six entrances of contact, when touched, cause ignorant and unlearned ordinary people to experience pleasure and pain, and from this, various feelings arise. What are these six? They are the entrances of contact through the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. If a person is wise, although covered by ignorance and bound by craving, they obtain this conscious body. Thus, with an internal conscious body and external name and form, these two give rise to the six entrances of contact. Because of what is touched by these six contacts, the wise experience pleasure and pain, and from this, various feelings arise. What are these six? They are the entrances of contact through the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. What is the difference between the foolish and the wise in their practice of the holy life?' The monks said to the Buddha, 'Venerable One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, and the refuge of the Dharma. Excellent, Venerable One! We beseech you to explain, and the monks, having heard, will accept and practice it.' Then, the Venerable One told the monks, 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. Monks! Those ignorant and unlearned ordinary people are covered by ignorance and bound by craving, and they obtain this conscious body. Their ignorance is not severed, and their craving is not exhausted. When the body breaks down and life ends, they will be reborn again; because of being reborn again, they cannot be liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering.'


。所以者何?此愚癡凡夫本不修梵行,向正盡苦,究竟苦邊故,是故身壞命終,還復受身;還受身故,不得解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。

「若黠慧者無明所覆,愛緣所繫,得此識身,彼無明斷,愛緣盡;無明斷,愛緣盡故,身壞命終,更不復受;不更受故,得解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。所以者何?彼先修梵行,正向盡苦,究竟苦邊故,是故彼身壞命終,更不復受;更不受故,得解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,是名凡夫及黠慧者,彼於我所修諸梵行,種種差別。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二九五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本:這是為什麼呢?因為這些愚癡的凡夫本來就不修清凈的行為,不能導向徹底的痛苦止息,最終達到苦的盡頭。所以,當他們身體壞滅、生命終結時,還會再次受生;因為再次受生,就不能從生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦中解脫出來。 如果是有智慧的人,雖然被無明所覆蓋,被愛慾所束縛,得到了這個有意識的身體,但他們能夠斷除無明,滅盡愛慾的因緣。因為無明斷除,愛慾的因緣滅盡,所以當他們身體壞滅、生命終結時,就不會再次受生;因為不再受生,就能從生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦中解脫出來。這是為什麼呢?因為他們先前就修習清凈的行為,正確地導向痛苦的止息,最終達到苦的盡頭。所以,當他們身體壞滅、生命終結時,就不會再次受生;因為不再受生,就能從生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦中解脫出來。這就是凡夫和有智慧的人,他們在我的教法中所修習的清凈行為的種種差別。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 (二九五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

English version: Why is that? Because these foolish ordinary people do not cultivate pure conduct, they do not move towards the complete cessation of suffering, and they do not reach the end of suffering. Therefore, when their bodies break down and their lives end, they will be reborn again; because they are reborn again, they cannot be liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. If a wise person is covered by ignorance and bound by craving, and obtains this conscious body, they can cut off ignorance and extinguish the causes of craving. Because ignorance is cut off and the causes of craving are extinguished, when their bodies break down and their lives end, they will not be reborn again; because they are not reborn again, they can be liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. Why is that? Because they previously cultivated pure conduct, correctly moving towards the cessation of suffering, and ultimately reaching the end of suffering. Therefore, when their bodies break down and their lives end, they will not be reborn again; because they are not reborn again, they can be liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. This is the difference between ordinary people and wise people in the various pure conducts they practice in my teachings. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them. (295) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「此身非汝所有,亦非餘人所有。謂六觸入處,本修行愿,受得此身。云何為六?眼觸入處,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處。彼多聞聖弟子于諸緣起善正思惟觀察:『有此六識身、六觸身、六受身、六想身、六思身。所謂此有故,有當來生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,如是如是純大苦聚集,是名有因有緣世間集。謂此無故,六識身無,六觸身、六受身、六想身、六思身無,謂此無故,無有當來生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,如是如是純大苦聚滅。』若多聞聖弟子於世間集、世間滅如實正知,善見、善覺、善入,是名聖弟子招此善法、得此善法、知此善法、入此善法,覺知、覺見世間生滅,成就賢聖出離、實寂、正盡苦,究竟苦邊

現代漢語譯本 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『這個身體不是你們所擁有的,也不是其他人所擁有的。』所謂的六觸入處,是根據先前的修行願望而獲得的這個身體。哪六種呢?眼觸入處、耳觸入處、鼻觸入處、舌觸入處、身觸入處、意觸入處。那些博學多聞的聖弟子,對於諸緣起能夠善巧地正確思考和觀察:『因為有這六識身、六觸身、六受身、六想身、六思身,所以才會有未來的生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,像這樣,純粹的大苦聚集,這被稱為有因有緣的世間集。』『因為沒有這些,六識身就沒有,六觸身、六受身、六想身、六思身也就沒有,因為沒有這些,也就沒有未來的生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,像這樣,純粹的大苦聚集就滅盡了。』如果博學多聞的聖弟子對於世間集和世間滅能夠如實地正確瞭解,善於觀察、善於覺悟、善於進入,這就叫做聖弟子招感了這種善法、獲得了這種善法、瞭解了這種善法、進入了這種善法,覺知、覺見了世間的生滅,成就了賢聖的出離、真實的寂靜、真正的苦的止息,最終到達苦的盡頭。

English version At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'This body is not owned by you, nor is it owned by anyone else.' The so-called six sense bases are obtained based on previous vows of practice. What are the six? The eye sense base, the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind sense bases. Those learned and noble disciples, with regard to dependent origination, are able to skillfully and correctly contemplate and observe: 'Because there are these six consciousness bodies, six contact bodies, six feeling bodies, six perception bodies, and six volition bodies, there will be future birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. Like this, a pure great accumulation of suffering arises, which is called the world's arising due to causes and conditions.' 'Because these do not exist, the six consciousness bodies do not exist, the six contact bodies, six feeling bodies, six perception bodies, and six volition bodies also do not exist. Because these do not exist, there will be no future birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. Like this, the pure great accumulation of suffering ceases.' If a learned and noble disciple can truly and correctly understand the world's arising and the world's cessation, is good at observing, good at awakening, and good at entering, this is called a noble disciple who attracts this good dharma, obtains this good dharma, understands this good dharma, and enters this good dharma, realizing and seeing the arising and cessation of the world, achieving the noble's liberation, true tranquility, the true cessation of suffering, and ultimately reaching the end of suffering.


。所以者何?謂多聞聖弟子世間集滅如實知,善見、善覺、善入故。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二九六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說因緣法及緣生法。

「云何為因緣法?謂此有故彼有,謂緣無明行,緣行識,乃至如是如是純大苦聚集。

「云何緣生法?謂無明、行。若佛出世,若未出世,此法常住,法住法界,彼如來自所覺知,成等正覺,為人演說,開示顯發,謂緣無明有行,乃至緣生有老死。若佛出世,若未出世,此法常住,法住法界,彼如來自覺知,成等正覺,為人演說,開示顯發,謂緣生故,有老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦

現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?因為多聞的聖弟子能夠如實地知曉世間的集起和滅去,能夠善於觀察、善於覺悟、善於深入理解的緣故。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (二九六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在將要講述因緣法和緣生法。』 『什麼是因緣法呢?就是因為這個存在,所以那個存在,也就是以無明為緣而有行,以行為緣而有識,乃至這樣這樣純粹的大苦聚集。』 『什麼是緣生法呢?就是無明、行。無論佛陀出世還是沒有出世,這個法都是常住的,存在於法界之中,如來自己覺悟了它,成就了等正覺,然後為人們演說,開示顯發,也就是以無明為緣而有行,乃至以生為緣而有老死。無論佛陀出世還是沒有出世,這個法都是常住的,存在於法界之中,如來自己覺悟了它,成就了等正覺,然後為人們演說,開示顯發,也就是因為有生,所以有老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。』

English version: What is the reason for this? It is because the well-learned noble disciple truly knows the arising and ceasing of the world, and is good at seeing, good at awakening, and good at deeply understanding. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (296) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'I will now speak about the law of causation and the law of dependent origination.' 'What is the law of causation? It is that because this exists, that exists, that is, conditioned by ignorance there is volitional activity, conditioned by volitional activity there is consciousness, and so on, thus is the entire mass of suffering assembled.' 'What is the law of dependent origination? It is ignorance and volitional activity. Whether a Buddha appears in the world or not, this law is constant, it abides in the realm of Dharma. The Tathagata himself realizes it, attains complete enlightenment, and then explains it to people, revealing and making it clear, that is, conditioned by ignorance there is volitional activity, and so on, conditioned by birth there is old age and death. Whether a Buddha appears in the world or not, this law is constant, it abides in the realm of Dharma. The Tathagata himself realizes it, attains complete enlightenment, and then explains it to people, revealing and making it clear, that is, because there is birth, there is old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress.'


。此等諸法,法住、法空、法如、法爾,法不離如,法不異如,審諦真實、不顛倒。如是隨順緣起,是名緣生法。謂無明、行、識、名色、六入處、觸、受、愛、取、有、生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,是名緣生法。

「多聞聖弟子於此因緣法、緣生法正知善見,不求前際,言:『我過去世若有、若無?我過去世何等類?我過去世何如?』不求后際:『我于當來世為有、為無?云何類?何如?』內不猶豫:『此是何等?云何有此為前?誰終當云何之?此眾生從何來?於此沒當何之?』若沙門、婆羅門起凡俗見所繫,謂說我見所繫、說眾生見所繫、說壽命見所繫、忌諱吉慶見所繫,爾時悉斷、悉知,斷其根本,如截多羅樹頭,于未來世,成不生法

現代漢語譯本:這些法則,無論是其存在、空性、如常、自然,都與『如』不分離,與『如』無差異,審慎真實,不虛妄顛倒。如此順應因緣而生起,稱為緣生法。即無明、行、識、名色、六入處、觸、受、愛、取、有、生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,這些都稱為緣生法。 多聞的聖弟子對於這因緣法、緣生法有正確的認知和見解,不追究過去,不去想:『我過去世是存在還是不存在?我過去世是什麼樣的?我過去世是什麼狀態?』也不追究未來:『我將來世是存在還是不存在?會是什麼樣的?會是什麼狀態?』內心不猶豫:『這是什麼?為什麼會有這個?這個之前是什麼?誰最終會怎麼樣?這個眾生從哪裡來?死後會去哪裡?』如果沙門、婆羅門被凡俗的見解所束縛,例如執著於我見、眾生見、壽命見、忌諱吉慶的見解,那麼這時,這些見解都會被斷除、被認知,連根拔起,如同砍斷多羅樹的樹頭,在未來世,不再產生新的執著。

English version: These dharmas, whether in their existence, emptiness, suchness, or natural state, are inseparable from 'suchness,' not different from 'suchness,' carefully examined as real, not false or inverted. Thus, arising in accordance with conditions, they are called conditioned dharmas. Namely, ignorance, volitional formations, consciousness, name and form, the six sense bases, contact, feeling, craving, grasping, becoming, birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair—these are called conditioned dharmas. A well-learned noble disciple, having correct knowledge and insight into these causal and conditioned dharmas, does not seek the past, thinking: 'Did I exist in the past or not? What kind was I in the past? What was my state in the past?' Nor does he seek the future: 'Will I exist in the future or not? What kind will I be? What will be my state?' He does not hesitate internally: 'What is this? How does this come to be? What was before this? Who will ultimately be what? Where does this being come from? Where will it go after death?' If a renunciate or brahmin is bound by mundane views, such as being attached to views of self, views of beings, views of life span, or views of auspiciousness and taboos, then at that time, all these views are cut off and understood, their roots are severed, like cutting off the top of a palm tree, so that in the future, no new attachments arise.


。是名多聞聖弟子于因緣法、緣生法如實正知,善見、善覺、善修、善入。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二九七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘留搜調牛聚落。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我當爲汝等說法,初、中、后善,善義善味,純一清凈,梵行清白,所謂大空法經。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。云何為大空法經?所謂此有故彼有,此起故彼起,謂緣無明行,緣行識,乃至純大苦聚集。

「緣生老死者,若有問言:『彼誰老死?老死屬誰?』彼則答言:『我即老死,今老死屬我,老死是我。』所言:『命即是身。』或言:『命異身異。』此則一義,而說有種種。若見言:『命即是身。』彼梵行者所無有

『這是指那些博學多聞的聖弟子,他們對於因緣法、緣生法能夠如實地正確瞭解,善於觀察、善於覺悟、善於修行、善於證入。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 (二九七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在拘留搜調牛聚落。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我將為你們說法,這法初善、中善、后善,意義深遠,味道純正,純一清凈,是清白的梵行,也就是所謂的大空法經。你們要仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。什麼叫做大空法經呢?就是說此有故彼有,此起故彼起,也就是緣于無明而有行,緣於行而有識,乃至純粹的大苦聚集。 『如果有人問,緣于生而有老死,那麼,『是誰老死?老死屬於誰?』他們就會回答說:『我就是老死,現在老死屬於我,老死就是我。』或者說:『生命就是身體。』或者說:『生命和身體是不同的。』這其實是一個意思,卻有種種不同的說法。如果有人認為『生命就是身體』,那麼這種觀點是梵行者所不應有的。

'This refers to those learned and noble disciples who truly and correctly understand the law of dependent origination and conditioned arising, who are skilled in observing, skilled in awakening, skilled in practicing, and skilled in entering.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them. (297) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the village of Kurusudaman, the cowherd settlement. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'I will teach you the Dharma, which is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with profound meaning and pure taste, utterly pure, and a pure Brahma-faring, which is called the Great Emptiness Dharma Sutra. Listen carefully and contemplate well, and I will explain it to you. What is the Great Emptiness Dharma Sutra? It is that when this exists, that exists; when this arises, that arises. That is, conditioned by ignorance, there are volitional formations; conditioned by volitional formations, there is consciousness, and so on, until the accumulation of pure great suffering. 'If someone asks, regarding old age and death which are conditioned by birth, 'Who is it that ages and dies? To whom does old age and death belong?' They would answer, 'I am the one who ages and dies, now old age and death belong to me, old age and death are me.' Or they might say, 'Life is the body.' Or they might say, 'Life and body are different.' These are actually the same meaning, but expressed in various ways. If someone believes that 'life is the body,' then this view is not held by those who practice the Brahma-faring.'


。若復見言:『命異身異。』梵行者所無有。於此二邊,心所不隨,正向中道。賢聖出世,如實不顛倒正見,謂緣生老死。如是生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行,緣無明故有行。

「若復問言:『誰是行?行屬誰?』彼則答言:『行則是我,行是我所。』彼如是:『命即是身。』或言:『命異身異。』彼見命即是身者,梵行者無有;或言命異身異者,梵行者亦無有。離此二邊,正向中道。賢聖出世,如實不顛倒正見所知,所謂緣無明行。

「諸比丘!若無明離欲而生明,彼誰老死?老死屬誰者?老死則斷,則知斷其根本,如截多羅樹頭,于未來世成不生法

現代漢語譯本:如果再有人說:『生命和身體是不同的。』這是修行者所不應有的觀點。對於這兩種極端觀點,內心不應執著,而應走向中道。賢聖之人出世,以如實不顛倒的正見,認識到生老死的緣起。同樣,生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行,都是因為無明而產生的。 現代漢語譯本:如果再有人問:『誰是行?行屬於誰?』他們會回答說:『行就是我,行是屬於我的。』他們會認為:『生命就是身體。』或者說:『生命和身體是不同的。』認為生命就是身體的觀點,修行者不應有;認為生命和身體不同的觀點,修行者也不應有。應遠離這兩種極端觀點,走向中道。賢聖之人出世,以如實不顛倒的正見,認識到無明是產生行的原因。 現代漢語譯本:諸位比丘!如果無明被去除,智慧產生,那麼誰會老死?老死屬於誰?老死就會被斷除,並且知道斷除其根本,就像砍斷多羅樹的樹頭一樣,在未來世不再產生。

English version: If someone further says, 'Life and body are different,' this is not a view held by those who practice the holy life. The mind should not follow these two extremes, but should go towards the middle way. The wise and noble ones appear in the world, with true and non-perverted right view, understanding that old age and death arise from conditions. Likewise, birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, the six sense bases, name and form, consciousness, and volitional formations arise because of ignorance. English version: If someone further asks, 'Who is the volitional formation? To whom does the volitional formation belong?' They would answer, 'The volitional formation is me, the volitional formation belongs to me.' They would think, 'Life is the same as the body,' or say, 'Life and body are different.' The view that life is the same as the body is not held by those who practice the holy life; nor is the view that life and body are different. One should abandon these two extremes and go towards the middle way. The wise and noble ones appear in the world, with true and non-perverted right view, understanding that ignorance is the cause of volitional formations. English version: Monks, if ignorance is abandoned and wisdom arises, then who will experience old age and death? To whom will old age and death belong? Old age and death will be cut off, and it will be known that their root has been cut off, like cutting off the head of a palm tree, so that it will not arise again in the future.


。若比丘無明離欲而生明,彼誰生?生屬誰?乃至誰是行?行屬誰者?行則斷,則知斷其根本,如截多羅樹頭,于未來世成不生法,若比丘無明離欲而生明,彼無明滅則行滅,乃至純大苦聚滅,是名大空法經。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(二九八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘留搜調牛聚落。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說緣起法法說、義說。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。

「云何緣起法法說?謂此有故彼有,此起故彼起,謂緣無明行,乃至純大苦聚集,是名緣起法法說。

「云何義說?謂緣無明行者

現代漢語譯本:如果比丘捨棄無明而生起智慧,那麼是誰生起智慧?這智慧屬於誰?乃至誰是行?這行屬於誰?當行斷滅時,就知其根本已斷,如同砍斷多羅樹的樹頭,在未來世不再生起。如果比丘捨棄無明而生起智慧,那麼無明滅則行滅,乃至純粹的大苦聚也滅,這稱為《大空法經》。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (二九八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在拘留搜調牛聚落。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說緣起法的法說和義說。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。』 『什麼是緣起法的法說?就是說此有故彼有,此起故彼起,即以無明為緣而有行,乃至純粹的大苦聚集,這稱為緣起法的法說。』 『什麼是義說?就是說以無明為緣而有行,』

English version: If a bhikkhu abandons ignorance and gives rise to wisdom, who gives rise to that wisdom? To whom does that wisdom belong? And who is the doer of actions? To whom do those actions belong? When actions cease, it is known that their root is severed, like cutting off the top of a palmyra tree, so that it will not grow again in the future. If a bhikkhu abandons ignorance and gives rise to wisdom, then with the cessation of ignorance, actions cease, and so on, until the entire mass of suffering ceases. This is called the 'Great Discourse on Emptiness'. Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. (298) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the village of Kurusudaman, the cowherd's settlement. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'I will now explain the exposition of the law of dependent origination, both in terms of its formulation and its meaning. Listen carefully, reflect well, and I will explain it to you.' 'What is the formulation of the law of dependent origination? It is that when this exists, that exists; with the arising of this, that arises. That is, conditioned by ignorance, there are actions, and so on, until the entire mass of suffering arises. This is called the formulation of the law of dependent origination.' 'What is the explanation of its meaning? It is that conditioned by ignorance, there are actions,'


。彼云何無明?若不知前際、不知后際、不知前後際,不知于內、不知于外、不知內外,不知業、不知報、不知業報,不知佛、不知法、不知僧,不知苦、不知集、不知滅、不知道,不知因、不知因所起法,不知善不善、有罪無罪、習不習、若劣若勝、染污清凈,分別緣起,皆悉不知;於六觸入處,不如實覺知,于彼彼不知、不見、無無間等、癡闇、無明、大冥,是名無明。

「緣無明行者,云何為行?行有三種——身行、口行、意行。緣行識者,云何為識?謂六識身——眼識身、耳識身、鼻識身、舌識身、身識身、意識身。緣識名色者,云何名?謂四無色陰——受陰、想陰、行陰、識陰。云何色?謂四大、四大所造色,是名為色。此色及前所說名,是為名色

現代漢語譯本:什麼是無明呢?如果不知道過去,不知道未來,不知道過去和未來,不知道內在,不知道外在,不知道內在和外在,不知道業,不知道報,不知道業報,不知道佛,不知道法,不知道僧,不知道苦,不知道集,不知道滅,不知道道,不知道因,不知道因所生之法,不知道善與不善,有罪與無罪,應該做與不應該做,低劣與殊勝,染污與清凈,分別緣起,都不知道;對於六種接觸的入口處,不能如實覺知,對於那些都不知道、看不見、沒有間斷等、愚癡、黑暗、無明、大黑暗,這叫做無明。 緣于無明而產生的行為,什麼是行為呢?行為有三種——身體的行為、口頭的行為、意念的行為。緣於行為而產生的識,什麼是識呢?就是六種識——眼識、耳識、鼻識、舌識、身識、意識。緣于識而產生的名色,什麼是名呢?就是四種無色陰——受陰、想陰、行陰、識陰。什麼是色呢?就是四大以及四大所造的色,這叫做色。這個色以及前面所說的名,就叫做名色。

English version: What is ignorance? It is not knowing the past, not knowing the future, not knowing the past and future, not knowing the internal, not knowing the external, not knowing the internal and external, not knowing karma, not knowing retribution, not knowing karmic retribution, not knowing the Buddha, not knowing the Dharma, not knowing the Sangha, not knowing suffering, not knowing the cause of suffering, not knowing the cessation of suffering, not knowing the path to the cessation of suffering, not knowing the cause, not knowing the laws arising from causes, not knowing good and bad, guilt and innocence, what should be done and what should not be done, inferior and superior, defilement and purity, and not knowing the dependent origination; regarding the six entrances of contact, not truly knowing, not seeing, without interruption, foolishness, darkness, ignorance, great darkness, this is called ignorance. What are the actions that arise from ignorance? What are actions? There are three kinds of actions—bodily actions, verbal actions, and mental actions. What is consciousness that arises from actions? It is the six consciousnesses—eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, and mind consciousness. What is name and form that arises from consciousness? What is name? It is the four formless aggregates—the aggregate of feeling, the aggregate of perception, the aggregate of mental formations, and the aggregate of consciousness. What is form? It is the four great elements and the form derived from the four great elements, this is called form. This form and the aforementioned name are called name and form.


。緣名色六入處者,云何為六入處?謂六內入處——眼入處、耳入處、鼻入處、舌入處、身入處、意入處。緣六入處觸者,云何為觸?謂六觸身——眼觸身、耳觸身、鼻觸身、舌觸身、身觸身、意觸身。緣觸受者,云何為受?謂三受——苦受、樂受、不苦不樂受。緣受愛者,彼云何為愛?謂三愛——欲愛、色愛、無色愛。緣愛取者,云何為取?四取——欲取、見取、戒取、我取。緣取有者,云何為有?三有——欲有、色有、無色有。緣有生者,云何為生?若彼彼眾生,彼彼身種類一生,超越和合出生,得陰、得界、得入處、得命根,是名為生

現代漢語譯本:以名色為緣而有六入處,什麼是六入處呢?指的是六個內在的入處——眼入處、耳入處、鼻入處、舌入處、身入處、意入處。以六入處為緣而有觸,什麼是觸呢?指的是六種觸身——眼觸身、耳觸身、鼻觸身、舌觸身、身觸身、意觸身。以觸為緣而有受,什麼是受呢?指的是三種感受——苦受、樂受、不苦不樂受。以受為緣而有愛,什麼是愛呢?指的是三種愛——欲愛、色愛、無色愛。以愛為緣而有取,什麼是取呢?指的是四種取——欲取、見取、戒取、我取。以取為緣而有有,什麼是有呢?指的是三種有——欲有、色有、無色有。以有為緣而有生,什麼是生呢?如果各種眾生在各種身類中一生,超越和合出生,獲得陰、獲得界、獲得入處、獲得命根,這稱為生。 現代漢語譯本:以『名色』為條件產生『六入處』,那麼什麼是『六入處』呢?指的是六個內在的『入處』——眼『入處』、耳『入處』、鼻『入處』、舌『入處』、身『入處』、意『入處』。以『六入處』為條件產生『觸』,那麼什麼是『觸』呢?指的是六種『觸身』——眼『觸身』、耳『觸身』、鼻『觸身』、舌『觸身』、身『觸身』、意『觸身』。以『觸』為條件產生『受』,那麼什麼是『受』呢?指的是三種感受——苦『受』、樂『受』、不苦不樂『受』。以『受』為條件產生『愛』,那麼什麼是『愛』呢?指的是三種『愛』——欲『愛』、色『愛』、無色『愛』。以『愛』為條件產生『取』,那麼什麼是『取』呢?指的是四種『取』——欲『取』、見『取』、戒『取』、我『取』。以『取』為條件產生『有』,那麼什麼是『有』呢?指的是三種『有』——欲『有』、色『有』、無色『有』。以『有』為條件產生『生』,那麼什麼是『生』呢?如果各種眾生在各種身類中一生,超越和合出生,獲得『陰』、獲得『界』、獲得『入處』、獲得『命根』,這稱為『生』。

。緣生老死者,云何為老?若發白露頂,皮緩根熟,支弱背僂,垂頭呻吟,短氣前輸,柱杖而行,身體黧黑,四體班駁,闇鈍垂熟,造行艱難羸劣,是名為老。云何為死?彼彼眾生,彼彼種類沒、遷移、身壞、壽盡、火離、命滅,舍陰時到,是名為死。此死及前說老,是名老死。是名緣起義說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

時,有異比丘來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!謂緣起法為世尊作,為餘人作耶?」

佛告比丘:「緣起法者,非我所作,亦非餘人作

現代漢語譯本:

『導致衰老和死亡的因緣是什麼?』 什麼是衰老?如果頭髮變白,頭頂光禿,面板鬆弛,身體機能衰退,四肢無力,背部彎曲,頭低垂,呼吸短促,身體前傾,需要拄著枴杖行走,身體面板變得黝黑,四肢出現斑點,感官遲鈍,身體衰弱,行動困難,這就是所謂的衰老。什麼是死亡?眾生在各自的生命形態中,經歷消逝、轉移、身體毀壞、壽命終結、溫暖消散、生命終止,捨棄構成生命的要素,這就是所謂的死亡。這種死亡以及前面所說的衰老,合稱為老死。這就是緣起法則的含義。』

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。

English version:

'What is the cause of aging and death? What is aging? If the hair turns white, the top of the head becomes bald, the skin loosens, the body's functions decline, the limbs weaken, the back bends, the head droops, the breath becomes short, the body leans forward, one needs to walk with a cane, the skin of the body becomes dark, spots appear on the limbs, the senses become dull, the body weakens, and movement becomes difficult, this is called aging. What is death? Beings in their respective forms of life experience passing away, transition, destruction of the body, end of life, dissipation of warmth, cessation of life, and the abandonment of the elements that constitute life, this is called death. This death and the aforementioned aging are collectively called aging and death. This is the meaning of the law of dependent origination.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them.

(299)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the cattle-herding village of Kurusravana.

Then, a certain monk came to the Buddha's dwelling, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, is the law of dependent origination created by the Venerable Sir, or by someone else?'

The Buddha told the monk, 'The law of dependent origination is not created by me, nor is it created by anyone else.' English version:

。然彼如來出世及未出世,法界常住,彼如來自覺此法,成等正覺,為諸眾生分別演說,開發顯示。所謂此有故彼有,此起故彼起,謂緣無明行,乃至純大苦聚集,無明滅故行滅,乃至純大苦聚滅。」

佛說此經已。時,彼比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三〇〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘留搜調牛聚落。

時,有異婆羅門來詣佛所,與世尊面相慶慰,慶慰已,退坐一面,白佛言:「云何?瞿曇!為自作自覺耶?」

佛告婆羅門:「我說此是無記,自作自覺,此是無記。」

「云何?瞿曇!他作他覺耶?」

佛告婆羅門:「他作他覺,此是無記

現代漢語譯本:'然而,無論如來出世與否,法界都是恒常存在的。如來自己覺悟了這個法,成就了無上正等正覺,然後為眾生分別解說,開示顯明。這就是所謂的「此有故彼有,此起故彼起」,即以無明為緣而有行,乃至純粹的大苦聚集;無明滅盡則行滅盡,乃至純粹的大苦聚集也滅盡。' 佛陀說完這部經后,那些比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並修行。 (三〇〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在拘留搜調牛聚落。 當時,有一位外道婆羅門來到佛陀的住所,與世尊互相問候,問候完畢后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇,您認為這是自己造作自己覺悟嗎?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『我說這個是無記的,自己造作自己覺悟,這個是無記的。』 『瞿曇,那麼,您認為這是他人造作他人覺悟嗎?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『他人造作他人覺悟,這個是無記的。』

English version: 'However, whether a Tathagata appears in the world or not, the Dharma realm is always abiding. The Tathagata realizes this Dharma himself, attains Supreme Perfect Enlightenment, and then explains and reveals it to all beings. This is what is called 『this exists, therefore that exists; this arises, therefore that arises,』 meaning that with ignorance as the condition, actions arise, leading to the accumulation of pure great suffering; when ignorance ceases, actions cease, and thus the accumulation of pure great suffering also ceases.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks who heard the Buddha's teachings joyfully accepted and practiced them. (300) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the village of Kurusodana, the cowherd settlement. At that time, a Brahmin from another sect came to the Buddha's dwelling, greeted the World Honored One, and after the greetings, sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Gautama, do you believe that it is self-made and self-realized?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'I say that this is unrecorded, self-made and self-realized, this is unrecorded.' 'Gautama, then do you believe that it is other-made and other-realized?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'Other-made and other-realized, this is unrecorded.'


。」

婆羅門白佛:「云何?我問自作自覺,說言無記;他作他覺,說言無記,此義云何?」

佛告婆羅門:「自作自覺則墮常見,他作他覺則墮斷見。義說、法說,離此二邊,處於中道而說法,所謂此有故彼有,此起故彼起,緣無明行,乃至純大苦聚集,無明滅則行滅,乃至純大苦聚滅。」

佛說此經已,彼婆羅門歡喜隨喜,從座起去。

(三〇一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住那梨聚落深林中待賓舍。

爾時,尊者𨅖陀迦旃延詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!如世尊說正見。云何正見?云何世尊施設正見?」

佛告𨅖陀迦旃延:「世間有二種依,若有、若無,為取所觸;取所觸故,或依有、或依無

現代漢語譯本 婆羅門問佛:『這是怎麼回事?我問自己做自己覺,你說無記;他人做他人覺,你說無記,這是什麼意思?』 佛告訴婆羅門:『自己做自己覺就落入常見,他人做他人覺就落入斷見。從義理上說,從法理上說,要離開這兩種極端,處於中道而說法,所謂此有故彼有,此起故彼起,緣于無明而有行,乃至純粹的大苦聚集;無明滅則行滅,乃至純粹的大苦聚滅。』 佛說完這部經,那位婆羅門歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去。 (三〇一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在名叫那梨的村落的深林中,在待賓館裡。 當時,尊者迦旃延來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!正如世尊所說,什麼是正見?世尊是如何闡述正見的?』 佛陀告訴迦旃延:『世間有兩種依靠,即有和無,這是被執取所觸及的;因為被執取所觸及,所以或者依靠有,或者依靠無。』

English version The Brahmin asked the Buddha: 'What is the meaning of this? When I ask about self-doing and self-knowing, you say it is indeterminate; when I ask about others doing and others knowing, you say it is indeterminate. What does this mean?' The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'Self-doing and self-knowing fall into the view of permanence, while others doing and others knowing fall into the view of annihilation. In terms of meaning and in terms of the Dharma, one should depart from these two extremes and teach from the middle way. This is because when this exists, that exists; when this arises, that arises. Conditioned by ignorance, there are volitional activities, and so on, until the entire mass of suffering arises. When ignorance ceases, volitional activities cease, and so on, until the entire mass of suffering ceases.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Brahmin rejoiced and was pleased, and then rose from his seat and departed. (301) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the deep forest of a village called Nali, in the guest house. At that time, the venerable Katyayana went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and then withdrew to one side. He said to the Buddha: 'Venerable One! As the Venerable One has said, what is right view? How does the Venerable One explain right view?' The Buddha told Katyayana: 'There are two kinds of reliance in the world, existence and non-existence, which are touched by grasping. Because of being touched by grasping, one either relies on existence or relies on non-existence.'


。若無此取者,心境繫著使不取、不住、不計我苦生而生,苦滅而滅,于彼不疑、不惑,不由於他而自知,是名正見,是名如來所施設正見。所以者何?世間集如實正知見,若世間無者不有,世間滅如實正知見,若世間有者無有,是名離於二邊說于中道,所謂此有故彼有,此起故彼起,謂緣無明行,乃至純大苦聚集,無明滅故行滅,乃至純大苦聚滅。」

佛說此經已,尊者𨅖陀迦旃延聞佛所說,不起諸漏,心得解脫,成阿羅漢。

(三〇二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城耆阇崛山。

爾時,世尊晨朝著衣持缽,出耆阇崛山,入王舍城乞食。

時,有阿支羅迦葉為營小事,出王舍城,向耆阇崛山,遙見世尊

現代漢語譯本:如果不存在這樣的執取者,那麼心境就會保持不執取、不住留、不計較『我』的苦,生起時就生起,滅去時就滅去,對此不會疑惑、不會迷惑,不是因為別人而是自己明白,這叫做正見,這叫做如來所施設的正見。為什麼呢?因為對世間集起如實地正確認知,如果世間沒有的就不會有;對世間滅去如實地正確認知,如果世間有的就會沒有。這叫做遠離兩種極端,宣說中道。所謂『此有故彼有,此起故彼起』,就是說以無明為緣而有行,乃至純粹的大苦聚集;無明滅去,行就滅去,乃至純粹的大苦聚集就滅去。 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者迦旃延聽聞佛陀所說,不再有各種煩惱,內心得到解脫,成為阿羅漢。 (三〇二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的耆阇崛山。 當時,世尊早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,從耆阇崛山出來,進入王舍城乞食。 當時,有阿支羅迦葉因為一些小事,走出王舍城,走向耆阇崛山,遠遠地看見了世尊。

English version: If there is no such taker, the mind will not be attached, will not dwell, and will not calculate the suffering of 'I'. When it arises, it arises; when it ceases, it ceases. There will be no doubt or confusion about this, and it will be known by oneself, not by others. This is called right view, this is called the right view established by the Tathagata. Why is that? Because one truly knows the arising of the world, if something does not exist in the world, it will not exist; one truly knows the cessation of the world, if something exists in the world, it will not exist. This is called being apart from the two extremes and speaking of the middle way. That is, 'because this exists, that exists; because this arises, that arises,' meaning that with ignorance as the condition, there are actions, and so on, until the accumulation of pure great suffering; when ignorance ceases, actions cease, and so on, until the accumulation of pure great suffering ceases. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Venerable Katyayana, having heard what the Buddha said, was free from all defilements, his mind was liberated, and he became an Arhat. (302) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gijjhakuta in Rajagaha. Then, the World-Honored One, in the morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, went out from Mount Gijjhakuta and entered Rajagaha to beg for alms. At that time, Ajivaka Kasyapa, having some small business, went out from Rajagaha towards Mount Gijjhakuta, and saw the World-Honored One from afar.


。見已,詣佛所,白佛言:「瞿曇!欲有所問,寧有閑暇見答與不?」

佛告迦葉:「今非論時,我今入城乞食,來還則是其時,當爲汝說。」

第二亦如是說,第三複問:「瞿曇!何為我作留難?瞿曇!云何有異?我今欲有所問,為我解說。」

佛告阿支羅迦葉:「隨汝所問。」

阿支羅迦葉白佛言:「云何?瞿曇!苦自作耶?」

佛告迦葉:「苦自作者,此是無記。」

迦葉復問:「云何?瞿曇!苦他作耶?」

佛告迦葉:「苦他作者,此亦無記。」

迦葉復問:「苦自他作耶?」

佛告迦葉:「苦自他作,此亦無記

現代漢語譯本:他看見了,就去到佛陀那裡,對佛陀說:『瞿曇!我想問一些問題,您現在有空回答嗎?』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『現在不是討論的時候,我正要進城乞食,回來之後就有時間了,那時再為你解說。』 第二次他也這樣問,第三次又問:『瞿曇!您為什麼阻礙我?瞿曇!為什麼這樣不同?我現在想問一些問題,請您為我解答。』 佛陀告訴阿支羅迦葉:『你儘管問吧。』 阿支羅迦葉問佛陀:『瞿曇!這是怎麼回事?苦是自己造成的嗎?』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『如果說苦是自己造成的,這是無法確定的。』 迦葉又問:『瞿曇!這是怎麼回事?苦是他人造成的嗎?』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『如果說苦是他人造成的,這也是無法確定的。』 迦葉又問:『苦是自己和他人共同造成的嗎?』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『如果說苦是自己和他人共同造成的,這也是無法確定的。』

English version: Having seen this, he went to the Buddha and said to him, 'Gautama! I wish to ask some questions. Do you have time to answer them now?' The Buddha said to Kasyapa, 'Now is not the time for discussion. I am about to go into the city to beg for food. When I return, there will be time, and I will explain it to you then.' The second time he asked the same thing, and the third time he asked again, 'Gautama! Why are you hindering me? Gautama! Why is it different like this? I wish to ask some questions now, please explain them to me.' The Buddha said to Ajita Kasyapa, 'Ask whatever you wish.' Ajita Kasyapa asked the Buddha, 'Gautama! What is this? Is suffering self-made?' The Buddha said to Kasyapa, 'If suffering is self-made, this is indeterminate.' Kasyapa asked again, 'Gautama! What is this? Is suffering made by others?' The Buddha said to Kasyapa, 'If suffering is made by others, this is also indeterminate.' Kasyapa asked again, 'Is suffering made by both self and others?' The Buddha said to Kasyapa, 'If suffering is made by both self and others, this is also indeterminate.'


。」

迦葉復問:「云何?瞿曇!苦非自非他無因作耶?」

佛告迦葉:「苦非自非他,此亦無記。」

迦葉復問:「云何無因作者?瞿曇!所問苦自作耶?」答言:「無記。」「他作耶?自他作耶?非自非他無因作耶?」答言:「無記。」「今無此苦耶?」

佛告迦葉:「非無此苦,然有此苦。」

迦葉白佛言:「善哉!瞿曇!說有此苦,為我說法,令我知苦見苦。」

佛告迦葉:「若受即自受者,我應說苦自作,若他受他即受者,是則他作,若受自受他受,復與苦者。如是者自他作,我亦不說,若不因自他,無因而生苦者,我亦不說

現代漢語譯本 迦葉又問:『瞿曇,這是怎麼回事?苦難道不是自己造成的,不是別人造成的,也不是無緣無故產生的嗎?』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『苦不是自己造成的,也不是別人造成的,這個問題我無法回答。』 迦葉又問:『那無緣無故產生又是什麼意思呢?瞿曇,你所說的苦是自己造成的嗎?』佛陀回答說:『我無法回答。』『是別人造成的嗎?是自己和別人共同造成的嗎?還是既不是自己也不是別人造成的,而是無緣無故產生的呢?』佛陀回答說:『我無法回答。』『那現在沒有這種苦嗎?』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『不是沒有這種苦,而是確實存在這種苦。』 迦葉對佛陀說:『太好了,瞿曇!你說有這種苦,請為我講解佛法,讓我瞭解苦,看到苦。』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『如果感受就是自己感受的,我就應該說苦是自己造成的;如果感受是別人感受的,那就是別人造成的;如果感受是自己感受,別人也感受,並且與苦有關,那麼就是自己和別人共同造成的,我也不這樣說。如果不是因為自己或別人,而是無緣無故產生苦,我也不這樣說。』

English version Kasyapa further asked: 'How is it, Gautama? Is suffering not self-made, not other-made, nor causeless?' The Buddha told Kasyapa: 'Suffering is neither self-made nor other-made; this is also unanswerable.' Kasyapa further asked: 'What then is causeless creation? Gautama, is the suffering you speak of self-made?' The answer was: 'Unanswerable.' 'Is it other-made? Is it both self-made and other-made? Or is it neither self-made nor other-made, but causeless?' The answer was: 'Unanswerable.' 'Is there no such suffering now?' The Buddha told Kasyapa: 'It is not that there is no such suffering, but rather that there is such suffering.' Kasyapa said to the Buddha: 'Excellent, Gautama! You say there is such suffering; please explain the Dharma for me, so that I may understand suffering and see suffering.' The Buddha told Kasyapa: 'If the one who experiences is the self, then I should say suffering is self-made; if the one who experiences is another, then it is other-made; if the one who experiences is the self and another also experiences, and is related to suffering, then it is both self-made and other-made, and I do not say this either. If it is not due to self or other, but suffering arises causelessly, I do not say this either.'


。離此諸邊,說其中道,如來說法,此有故彼有,此起故彼起,謂緣無明行,乃至純大苦聚集,無明滅則行滅,乃至純大苦聚滅。」

佛說此經已,阿支羅迦葉遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。

時,阿支羅迦葉見法、得法、知法、入法,度諸狐疑,不由他知、不因他度,于正法、律心得無畏,合掌白佛言:「世尊!我今已度,我從今日,歸依佛、歸依法、歸依僧,盡壽作優婆塞,證知我。」

阿支羅迦葉聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

時,阿支羅迦葉辭世尊去不久,為護犢牸牛所觸殺,于命終時,諸根清凈,顏色鮮白。

爾時,世尊入城乞食

現代漢語譯本:遠離這些極端,宣說中道,如來教法是:『此有故彼有,此生故彼生』,即以無明為緣而有行,乃至純粹的大苦聚集;無明滅則行滅,乃至純粹的大苦聚集滅。 佛陀說完此經后,阿支羅迦葉遠離塵垢,獲得法眼清凈。 當時,阿支羅迦葉見法、得法、知法、入法,度脫一切狐疑,不需他人告知、不需他人引導,對於正法和戒律內心無所畏懼,合掌對佛說:『世尊!我如今已得度,我從今日起,皈依佛、皈依法、皈依僧,終身作為優婆塞,請您證明。』 阿支羅迦葉聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 當時,阿支羅迦葉離開世尊不久,被一頭保護小牛的母牛觸殺,臨終時,諸根清凈,臉色潔白。 那時,世尊入城乞食。

English version: 'Avoiding these extremes, the Tathagata teaches the Middle Way: 『This being, that becomes; from the arising of this, that arises,』 that is, conditioned by ignorance, volitional formations arise, and so on, until the arising of this whole mass of suffering. With the cessation of ignorance, volitional formations cease, and so on, until the cessation of this whole mass of suffering.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, Achira Kassapa, being freed from dust and defilement, attained the purity of the Dharma eye. Then, Achira Kassapa, having seen the Dharma, attained the Dharma, known the Dharma, and entered the Dharma, having overcome all doubt, not relying on others' knowledge or guidance, and having gained fearlessness in the true Dharma and discipline, with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, I have now attained liberation. From this day forth, I take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, and will be a lay follower for the rest of my life. Please acknowledge me as such.' Achira Kassapa, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and was pleased, paid homage, and departed. Then, not long after Achira Kassapa had left the Blessed One, he was killed by a cow protecting her calf. At the time of his death, his faculties were clear and his complexion was bright white. At that time, the Blessed One entered the city to beg for alms.


。時,有眾多比丘亦入王舍城乞食,聞有傳說:「阿支羅迦葉從世尊聞法,辭去不久,為牛所觸殺,于命終時,諸根清凈,顏色鮮白。」諸比丘乞食已,還出,舉衣缽,洗足,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我今晨朝眾多比丘入城乞食,聞阿支羅迦葉從世尊聞法、律,辭去不久,為護犢牛所觸殺,于命終時,諸根清凈,顏色鮮白。世尊!彼生何趣?何處受生?彼何所得?」

佛告諸比丘:「彼已見法、知法、次法、不受於法,已般涅槃,汝等當往供養其身。」

爾時,世尊為阿支羅迦葉受第一記。

(三〇三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城耆阇崛山中

現代漢語譯本:當時,有許多比丘也進入王舍城乞食,聽到有傳言說:『阿支羅迦葉從世尊那裡聽聞佛法后,離開不久,就被牛撞死了,在臨終時,他的諸根清凈,臉色鮮白。』比丘們乞食完畢,返回住處,收拾好衣缽,洗完腳,來到世尊那裡,頂禮佛足后,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!我們今天早上許多比丘進城乞食,聽到阿支羅迦葉從世尊那裡聽聞佛法和戒律后,離開不久,就被一頭保護小牛的牛撞死了,在臨終時,他的諸根清凈,臉色鮮白。世尊!他往生到哪裡?在哪裡受生?他得到了什麼?』 佛告訴比丘們:『他已經見到法、了解法、遵循法、不再執著於法,已經入滅,你們應當去供養他的遺體。』 當時,世尊為阿支羅迦葉作了第一記別。 (三〇三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城的耆阇崛山中。

English version: At that time, many monks also entered the city of Rajagriha to beg for alms. They heard a rumor that 'Ajita Kasyapa, after hearing the Dharma from the World Honored One, had not been gone long before he was killed by a cow. At the time of his death, his senses were clear and his complexion was bright white.' After the monks had finished begging for alms, they returned, put away their robes and bowls, washed their feet, and went to the World Honored One. They bowed at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! This morning, many monks went into the city to beg for alms and heard that Ajita Kasyapa, after hearing the Dharma and Vinaya from the World Honored One, had not been gone long before he was killed by a cow protecting its calf. At the time of his death, his senses were clear and his complexion was bright white. World Honored One! Where was he reborn? Where did he take rebirth? What did he attain?' The Buddha told the monks, 'He has already seen the Dharma, understood the Dharma, followed the Dharma, and is no longer attached to the Dharma. He has already attained Nirvana. You should go and make offerings to his body.' At that time, the World Honored One gave the first prediction for Ajita Kasyapa. (303) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gijjhakuta in Rajagriha.


爾時,世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入王舍城乞食,于路見玷牟留外道出家,少有所營,至耆阇崛山遊行,遙見世尊,往詣其所,共相慶慰,共相慶慰已,於一面住,白佛言:「瞿曇!欲有所問,寧有閑暇為解說不?」

佛告玷牟留外道出家:「今非論時,須入城乞食,來還當爲汝說。」

第二說亦如是。第三複請:「沙門瞿曇!將於我所作留難不?欲有所問,為我解說。」

佛告玷牟留外道出家:「隨汝意問,當爲汝說。」

玷牟留外道出家即問:「沙門瞿曇!苦樂自作耶?」

佛告玷牟留外道出家:「說苦樂自作者,此是無記

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入王舍城乞食。在路上,他看見玷牟留外道出家人,正在做一些事情。他來到耆阇崛山,遠遠地看見了世尊,便走到世尊那裡,互相問候,問候完畢后,站在一旁,對佛說:『瞿曇!我有些問題想問,您是否有空為我解答呢?』 佛告訴玷牟留外道出家人:『現在不是討論的時候,我需要進城乞食,回來後會為你解答。』 第二次也是這樣說。第三次,他再次請求說:『沙門瞿曇!您是要把我所問的問題擱置嗎?我有些問題想問,請您為我解答。』 佛告訴玷牟留外道出家人:『你隨意問吧,我會為你解答。』 玷牟留外道出家人就問:『沙門瞿曇!苦和樂是自己造成的嗎?』 佛告訴玷牟留外道出家人:『說苦和樂是自己造成的,這是無記的。』

English version: At that time, the World-Honored One, having dressed in the morning and taken his bowl, entered the city of Rajagriha to beg for alms. On the road, he saw a mendicant of the Dinnaga sect, who was engaged in some activity. He went to Mount Gridhrakuta, and seeing the World-Honored One from afar, he approached him. They greeted each other, and after the greetings, he stood to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! I have some questions to ask. Do you have time to explain them to me?' The Buddha said to the mendicant of the Dinnaga sect, 'Now is not the time for discussion. I need to go into the city to beg for alms. I will explain it to you when I return.' The second time he said the same. The third time, he requested again, saying, 'Shramana Gautama! Are you going to set aside my questions? I have some questions to ask, please explain them to me.' The Buddha said to the mendicant of the Dinnaga sect, 'Ask whatever you wish, and I will explain it to you.' The mendicant of the Dinnaga sect then asked, 'Shramana Gautama! Is suffering and happiness self-created?' The Buddha said to the mendicant of the Dinnaga sect, 'To say that suffering and happiness are self-created, this is an unanswerable question.'


。」

復問:「沙門瞿曇!苦樂他作耶?」

佛告玷牟留外道出家:「說苦樂他作者,此是無記。」

復問:「瞿曇!苦樂為自他作耶?」

佛告玷牟留外道出家:「說苦樂自他作者,此是無記。」

復問:「瞿曇!苦樂非自非他無因作耶?」

佛告玷牟留外道出家:「說苦樂非自非他無因作者,此是無記……」廣說如上阿支羅迦葉經,乃至世尊為玷牟留外道出家受第一記。

English version Again he asked: 『O Śramaṇa Gautama, are suffering and pleasure caused by others?』 The Buddha told the mendicant of the Tainted-Mūla sect: 『To say that suffering and pleasure are caused by others, this is an unanswerable question.』 Again he asked: 『O Gautama, are suffering and pleasure caused by both self and others?』 The Buddha told the mendicant of the Tainted-Mūla sect: 『To say that suffering and pleasure are caused by both self and others, this is an unanswerable question.』 Again he asked: 『O Gautama, are suffering and pleasure caused neither by self nor others, but without a cause?』 The Buddha told the mendicant of the Tainted-Mūla sect: 『To say that suffering and pleasure are caused neither by self nor others, but without a cause, this is an unanswerable question...』 The detailed explanation is as in the above Ājīvika Kāśyapa Sūtra, until the World-Honored One gave the first prediction to the mendicant of the Tainted-Mūla sect.

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the village of Kurusodana, the cowherd settlement.


  爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當爲汝等說法,初、中、后善,善義善味,純一滿凈,梵行清白。諦聽,善思,有六六法。何等為六六法?謂六內入處、六外入處、六識身、六觸身、六受身、六愛身。

「何等為六內入處?謂眼入處、耳入處、鼻入處、舌入處、身入處、意入處。何等為六外入處,色入處、聲入處、香入處、味入處、觸入處、法入處。云何六識身?謂眼識身、耳識身、鼻識身、舌識身、身識身、意識身。云何六觸身?謂眼觸、耳觸、鼻觸、舌觸、身觸、意觸。云何六受身?謂眼觸生受、耳觸生受、鼻觸生受、舌觸生受、身觸生受、意觸生受。云何六愛身?謂眼觸生愛、耳觸生愛、鼻觸生愛、舌觸生愛、身觸生愛、意觸生愛。

「若有說言眼是我,是則不然。所以者何?眼生滅故,若眼是我者,我應受生死,是故說眼是我者,是則不然。如是若色、若眼識、眼觸、眼觸生受若是我者,是則不然。所以者何?眼觸生受是生滅法,若眼觸生受是我者,我復應受生死,是故說眼觸生受是我者,是則不然,是故眼觸生受非我。如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸生受非我。所以者何?意觸生受是生滅法,若是我者,我復應受生死,是故意觸生受是我者,是則不然,是故意觸生受非我

現代漢語譯本:那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要為你們說法,這法初善、中善、后善,意義美好,味道純正,圓滿清凈,是清白的梵行。仔細聽,好好思考,有六六法。什麼是六六法呢?就是六內入處、六外入處、六識身、六觸身、六受身、六愛身。』 『什麼是六內入處呢?就是眼入處、耳入處、鼻入處、舌入處、身入處、意入處。什麼是六外入處呢?就是色入處、聲入處、香入處、味入處、觸入處、法入處。什麼是六識身呢?就是眼識身、耳識身、鼻識身、舌識身、身識身、意識身。什麼是六觸身呢?就是眼觸、耳觸、鼻觸、舌觸、身觸、意觸。什麼是六受身呢?就是眼觸所生的感受、耳觸所生的感受、鼻觸所生的感受、舌觸所生的感受、身觸所生的感受、意觸所生的感受。什麼是六愛身呢?就是眼觸所生的愛、耳觸所生的愛、鼻觸所生的愛、舌觸所生的愛、身觸所生的愛、意觸所生的愛。』 『如果有人說眼睛是『我』,這是不對的。為什麼呢?因為眼睛是生滅變化的,如果眼睛是『我』,那麼『我』就應該承受生死輪迴,所以說眼睛是『我』是不對的。同樣,如果色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸所生的感受是『我』,這也是不對的。為什麼呢?因為眼觸所生的感受是生滅變化的,如果眼觸所生的感受是『我』,那麼『我』就應該再次承受生死輪迴,所以說眼觸所生的感受是『我』是不對的,因此眼觸所生的感受不是『我』。同樣,耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸所生的感受也不是『我』。為什麼呢?因為意觸所生的感受是生滅變化的,如果是『我』,那麼『我』就應該再次承受生死輪迴,所以說意觸所生的感受是『我』是不對的,因此意觸所生的感受不是『我』。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'I will now teach you the Dharma, which is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with good meaning and good taste, pure and complete, and a pure spiritual practice. Listen carefully and contemplate well, there are six sets of six dharmas. What are the six sets of six dharmas? They are the six internal sense bases, the six external sense bases, the six consciousnesses, the six contacts, the six feelings, and the six cravings.' 'What are the six internal sense bases? They are the eye sense base, the ear sense base, the nose sense base, the tongue sense base, the body sense base, and the mind sense base. What are the six external sense bases? They are the form sense base, the sound sense base, the smell sense base, the taste sense base, the touch sense base, and the dharma sense base. What are the six consciousnesses? They are the eye consciousness, the ear consciousness, the nose consciousness, the tongue consciousness, the body consciousness, and the mind consciousness. What are the six contacts? They are eye contact, ear contact, nose contact, tongue contact, body contact, and mind contact. What are the six feelings? They are the feeling born from eye contact, the feeling born from ear contact, the feeling born from nose contact, the feeling born from tongue contact, the feeling born from body contact, and the feeling born from mind contact. What are the six cravings? They are the craving born from eye contact, the craving born from ear contact, the craving born from nose contact, the craving born from tongue contact, the craving born from body contact, and the craving born from mind contact.' 'If someone says that the eye is 'me', that is not correct. Why? Because the eye is subject to arising and ceasing. If the eye were 'me', then 'I' should be subject to birth and death. Therefore, saying the eye is 'me' is not correct. Likewise, if form, eye consciousness, eye contact, or the feeling born from eye contact were 'me', that would not be correct. Why? Because the feeling born from eye contact is subject to arising and ceasing. If the feeling born from eye contact were 'me', then 'I' should again be subject to birth and death. Therefore, saying the feeling born from eye contact is 'me' is not correct, and thus the feeling born from eye contact is not 'me'. Similarly, the feelings born from ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind contact are not 'me'. Why? Because the feeling born from mind contact is subject to arising and ceasing. If it were 'me', then 'I' should again be subject to birth and death. Therefore, saying the feeling born from mind contact is 'me' is not correct, and thus the feeling born from mind contact is not 'me'.'

「如是,比丘!當如實知眼所作、智所作、寂滅所作,開發神通,正向涅槃。云何如實知見眼所作,乃至正向涅槃?如是。比丘!眼非我,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼亦觀察非我。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說,是名如實知見眼所作,乃至正向涅槃,是名六六法經。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三〇五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘留搜調牛聚落。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當爲汝等說法,初、中、后善,善義善味,純一滿凈,梵行清白,所謂六分別六入處經。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。

「何等為六分別六入處經?謂于眼入處不如實知見者,色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,不如實知見;不如實知見故,于眼染著,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,皆生染著。如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意,若法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,不如實知見;不如實知見故,生染著

現代漢語譯本 『正是這樣,比丘們!應當如實地瞭解眼睛的作用、智慧的作用、寂滅的作用,開發神通,正確地趨向涅槃。如何如實地瞭解眼睛的作用,乃至正確地趨向涅槃呢?是這樣的,比丘們!眼睛不是我,如果色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,也要觀察到它們不是我。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也應如此說,這叫做如實地瞭解眼睛的作用,乃至正確地趨向涅槃,這就是所謂的六六法經。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

(三〇五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在拘留搜調牛聚落。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要為你們說法,這法初善、中善、后善,意義美好,味道美好,純粹圓滿清凈,是清白的梵行,也就是所謂的六分別六入處經。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。』 『什麼是六分別六入處經呢?就是對於眼入處不如實知見的人,對於色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,都不能如實地瞭解;因為不能如實地瞭解,所以對於眼睛產生執著,對於色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,都會產生執著。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此,對於法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣所生的感受,內在感受無論是苦、樂、還是不苦不樂,都不能如實地瞭解;因為不能如實地瞭解,所以產生執著。』

English version 'Thus it is, bhikkhus! One should truly understand the function of the eye, the function of wisdom, the function of cessation, develop supernormal powers, and rightly proceed towards Nirvana. How does one truly understand the function of the eye, and rightly proceed towards Nirvana? It is like this, bhikkhus! The eye is not-self, and if form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is felt inwardly as pleasant, unpleasant, or neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant, one should also observe that these are not-self. The same should be said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. This is called truly understanding the function of the eye, and rightly proceeding towards Nirvana. This is called the Six Sixes Discourse.' After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.

(305) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the village of Kurusodhanu, the cowherd settlement. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'I will now teach you the Dharma, which is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with good meaning and good taste, pure and complete, the pure conduct of the holy life, namely, the Discourse on the Six Distinctions of the Six Sense Bases. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.' 'What is the Discourse on the Six Distinctions of the Six Sense Bases? It is that one who does not truly understand the eye sense base, does not truly understand form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is felt inwardly as pleasant, unpleasant, or neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant; because one does not truly understand, one becomes attached to the eye, and one becomes attached to form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is felt inwardly as pleasant, unpleasant, or neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. If one does not truly understand the mind sense base, one does not truly understand mental objects, mind-consciousness, mind-contact, and the feeling born of mind-contact, whether it is felt inwardly as pleasant, unpleasant, or neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant; because one does not truly understand, one becomes attached.'

。如是染著相應、愚闇、顧念、結縛其心,長養五受陰,及當來有受、貪、喜悉皆增長,身心疲惡,身心壞燒然,身心熾然,身心狂亂,身生苦覺;彼身生苦覺故,于未來世生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦悉皆增長,是名純一大苦陰聚集。

「諸比丘!若於眼如實知見,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,如實知見;見已於眼不染著,若色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,不染著。如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意法如實知見,若法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,如實知見;如實知見故,于意不染著。若法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,不染;不染著故,不相雜、不愚闇、不顧念、不繫縛,損減五受陰,當來有愛,貪、喜,彼彼染著悉皆消滅,身不疲苦,心不疲苦,身不燒,心不燒,身不熾然,心不熾然,身覺樂,心覺樂;身心覺樂故,于未來世生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦悉皆消滅,如是純大苦聚陰滅。

「作如是知、如是見者,名為正見修習滿足,正志、正方便、正念、正定,前說正語、正業、正命清凈修習滿足,是名修習八聖道清凈滿足

現代漢語譯本:如果(內心)被相應的貪慾、愚昧、執著、束縛所染污,就會增長五種受陰,以及未來將有的感受、貪婪和喜悅都會增長,身心疲憊、惡劣,身心被破壞、燃燒,身心熾熱、狂亂,身體產生痛苦的感覺;因為身體產生痛苦的感覺,所以在未來世的生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦都會增長,這被稱為純粹的大苦陰聚集。 現代漢語譯本:『諸位比丘!如果對眼睛如實地知見,對色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內心所覺知的苦、樂、不苦不樂,如實地知見;知見后對眼睛不執著,對色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,內心所覺知的苦、樂、不苦不樂,不執著。像這樣對耳、鼻、舌、身、意法如實地知見,對法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣所生的感受,內心所覺知的苦、樂、不苦不樂,如實地知見;因為如實地知見,所以對意不執著。對法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣所生的感受,內心所覺知的苦、樂、不苦不樂,不執著;因為不執著,所以不雜染、不愚昧、不執著、不束縛,減少五種受陰,未來將有的愛慾、貪婪、喜悅,那些執著都會消滅,身體不疲憊,心不疲憊,身體不燃燒,心不燃燒,身體不熾熱,心不熾熱,身體感覺快樂,心感覺快樂;因為身心感覺快樂,所以在未來世的生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦都會消滅,這樣純粹的大苦聚集陰就滅盡了。 現代漢語譯本:『像這樣知見的人,稱為正見修習圓滿,正志、正方便、正念、正定,前面所說的正語、正業、正命清凈修習圓滿,這稱為修習八聖道清凈圓滿。』

English version: If (the mind) is defiled by corresponding attachment, ignorance, clinging, and bondage, it will increase the five aggregates of feeling, and the feelings, greed, and joy that will come in the future will all increase. The body and mind will be weary and evil, the body and mind will be destroyed and burned, the body and mind will be hot and chaotic, and the body will produce a painful feeling. Because the body produces a painful feeling, birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering in future lives will all increase. This is called the accumulation of a purely great mass of suffering. English version: 'Monks! If one truly knows and sees the eye, and truly knows and sees the form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and the feeling born of the conditions of eye-contact, whether it is felt internally as pain, pleasure, or neither pain nor pleasure; having seen this, one is not attached to the eye, nor to the form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, or the feeling born of the conditions of eye-contact, whether it is felt internally as pain, pleasure, or neither pain nor pleasure. In the same way, one truly knows and sees the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind-objects, and truly knows and sees the mind-object, mind-consciousness, mind-contact, and the feeling born of the conditions of mind-contact, whether it is felt internally as pain, pleasure, or neither pain nor pleasure; because of truly knowing and seeing, one is not attached to the mind. One is not attached to the mind-object, mind-consciousness, mind-contact, or the feeling born of the conditions of mind-contact, whether it is felt internally as pain, pleasure, or neither pain nor pleasure; because one is not attached, one is not mixed, not ignorant, not clinging, not bound, one diminishes the five aggregates of feeling, and the future love, greed, and joy, those attachments will all be extinguished. The body is not weary, the mind is not weary, the body is not burned, the mind is not burned, the body is not hot, the mind is not hot, the body feels pleasure, the mind feels pleasure; because the body and mind feel pleasure, birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering in future lives will all be extinguished. Thus, the purely great mass of suffering is extinguished.' English version: 'One who knows and sees in this way is said to have perfected the practice of right view, right thought, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. The previously mentioned right speech, right action, and right livelihood are also perfected in their pure practice. This is called the pure and complete practice of the Noble Eightfold Path.'

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘獨一靜處,專精思惟,作是念:「比丘云何知、云何見而得見法?」作是思惟已,從禪起,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我獨一靜處,專精思惟,作是念:『比丘云何知、云何見而得見法?』」

爾時,世尊告彼比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。有二法。何等為二?眼、色為二……」如是廣說,乃至「非其境界故

現代漢語譯本:當八聖道修行圓滿,四念處修行圓滿,四正勤、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺分修行圓滿。 對於那些應該被知曉和理解的法,都已經完全知曉和理解。對於那些應該被知曉和斷除的法,都已經完全知曉和斷除。對於那些應該被知曉和證悟的法,都已經完全證悟。對於那些應該被知曉和修習的法,都已經完全修習。哪些法應該被知曉和理解,並且已經完全知曉和理解呢?那就是名色。哪些法應該被知曉和斷除呢?那就是無明和有愛。哪些法應該被知曉和證悟呢?那就是明和解脫。哪些法應該被知曉和修習呢?那就是止和觀。如果比丘對於這些應該被知曉和理解的法,都已經完全知曉和理解;對於那些應該被知曉和斷除的法,都已經完全知曉和斷除;對於那些應該被知曉和證悟的法,都已經完全知曉和證悟;對於那些應該被知曉和修習的法,都已經完全知曉和修習,那麼這位比丘就斷除了愛結的束縛,真正地無間斷地到達了苦的盡頭。諸位比丘!這就是名為『六分別六入處經』的教導。」 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (三〇六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心思考,心中想道:『比丘如何知曉、如何看見才能見到法呢?』這樣思考之後,他從禪定中起身,前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心思考,心中想道:『比丘如何知曉、如何看見才能見到法呢?』』 這時,世尊告訴那位比丘:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。有兩種法。哪兩種呢?眼和色是兩種……』如此廣說,乃至『因為不是它的境界』。

English version: When the practice of the Noble Eightfold Path is fulfilled, the practice of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness is fulfilled, the Four Right Exertions, the Four Paths to Power, the Five Faculties, the Five Strengths, and the Seven Factors of Enlightenment are fulfilled. Those things that should be known and understood are fully known and understood. Those things that should be known and abandoned are fully known and abandoned. Those things that should be known and realized are fully realized. Those things that should be known and cultivated are fully cultivated. What things should be known and understood, and are fully known and understood? That is name and form. What things should be known and abandoned? That is ignorance and craving. What things should be known and realized? That is knowledge and liberation. What things should be known and cultivated? That is tranquility and insight. If a bhikkhu, regarding these things that should be known and understood, fully knows and understands; regarding those things that should be known and abandoned, fully knows and abandons; regarding those things that should be known and realized, fully knows and realizes; regarding those things that should be known and cultivated, fully knows and cultivates, then that bhikkhu has broken the bonds of craving, truly and uninterruptedly reaching the end of suffering. Bhikkhus! This is the teaching called the 'Discourse on the Six Divisions of the Six Sense Bases.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (306) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, a certain bhikkhu, alone in a secluded place, was diligently contemplating, thinking thus: 'How does a bhikkhu know and see so as to see the Dhamma?' Having thought thus, he arose from meditation, went to where the Buddha was, paid homage to the Buddha, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, I, alone in a secluded place, was diligently contemplating, thinking thus: 'How does a bhikkhu know and see so as to see the Dhamma?'' Then, the Blessed One said to that bhikkhu: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will tell you. There are two things. What two? The eye and forms are two...' Thus he spoke at length, up to 'because it is not its domain.'

所以者何?眼、色緣生眼識,三事和合觸,觸俱生受、想、思,此四無色陰、眼、色,此等法名為人,於斯等法作人想、眾生、那羅、摩㝹阇、摩那婆、士夫、福伽羅、耆婆、禪頭。

「又如是說:『我眼見色,我耳聞聲,我鼻嗅香,我舌嘗味,我身覺觸,我意識法。』彼施設又如是言說:『是尊者如是名、如是生、如是姓、如是食、如是受苦樂、如是長壽、如是久住、如是壽分齊。』比丘!是則為想,是則為志,是則言說,此諸法皆悉無常、有為、思愿緣生;若無常、有為、思愿緣生者,彼則是苦。又復彼苦生,亦苦住,亦苦滅,亦苦數數出生,一切皆苦。若復彼苦無餘斷、吐、盡、離欲、滅、息、沒,余苦更不相續,不出生,是則寂滅,是則勝妙。所謂舍一切有餘、一切愛盡、無慾、滅盡、涅槃。耳、鼻、舌,身觸緣,生身識,三事和合觸,觸俱生受、想、思,此四是無色陰,身根是色陰,此名為人……」如上說,乃至「滅盡,涅槃。緣意,法生意識、三事和合觸,觸俱生受,想、思,此四無色陰、四大,士夫所依,此等法名為人……」如上廣說,乃至「滅盡、涅槃。若有於此諸法,心隨入,住解脫不退轉,于彼所起繫著,無有我。比丘!如是知、如是見,則為見法。」

現代漢語譯本:

那麼,什麼是『人』呢?眼睛和顏色相互作用產生眼識,這三者結合形成觸覺,觸覺同時產生感受、想法和思考。這四種無形的心靈活動(受、想、思)以及眼睛和顏色,這些要素合在一起被稱為『人』。人們對這些要素產生『人』的觀念,以及眾生、那羅、摩㝹阇、摩那婆、士夫、福伽羅、耆婆、禪頭等各種稱謂。

又有人這樣說:『我的眼睛看到顏色,我的耳朵聽到聲音,我的鼻子聞到氣味,我的舌頭嚐到味道,我的身體感覺到觸覺,我的意識感知事物。』他們還進一步說:『這位尊者有這樣的名字,這樣的出生,這樣的姓氏,吃這樣的食物,承受這樣的苦樂,壽命如此長久,居住如此之久,壽命的終點是這樣。』比丘們,這些都是想法、意願和言語,這些事物都是無常的、有為的、由因緣產生的。如果它們是無常的、有為的、由因緣產生的,那麼它們就是痛苦的。而且,這種痛苦會產生,會持續,會消滅,會反覆出現,一切都是痛苦。如果這種痛苦完全被斷除、捨棄、滅盡、離欲、寂滅、消失,不再有新的痛苦產生,那麼這就是寂滅,這就是最殊勝的境界。這就是捨棄一切有餘的執著,一切愛慾都滅盡,無慾無求,達到涅槃。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體和觸覺相互作用,產生身識,這三者結合形成觸覺,觸覺同時產生感受、想法和思考。這四種是無形的心靈活動,身體是物質的,這些合在一起被稱為『人』……如上所述,直到『滅盡,涅槃』。意識和事物相互作用,產生意識,這三者結合形成觸覺,觸覺同時產生感受、想法和思考。這四種是無形的心靈活動,四大元素是士夫所依賴的,這些要素合在一起被稱為『人』……如上廣說,直到『滅盡、涅槃』。如果有人對這些要素,內心深入理解,安住于解脫而不退轉,那麼對於由此產生的執著,就不會有『我』的概念。比丘們,像這樣認知、像這樣看待,就是見到了真理。

English version:

So, what is a 'person'? The eye and color give rise to eye-consciousness; the combination of these three is contact; with contact arise feeling, perception, and thought. These four immaterial aggregates (feeling, perception, thought), along with the eye and color, are what is called a 'person.' People conceive of these elements as a 'person,' as well as beings, Nara, Manuja, Manava, Purusha, Puggala, Jiva, and Jantu.

Furthermore, it is said: 'My eye sees color, my ear hears sound, my nose smells fragrance, my tongue tastes flavor, my body feels touch, and my mind is conscious of phenomena.' They also further state: 'This venerable one has such a name, such a birth, such a lineage, eats such food, experiences such pleasure and pain, has such a lifespan, dwells for such a time, and has such a life span.' Monks, these are thoughts, intentions, and words. All these things are impermanent, conditioned, and arise from causes. If they are impermanent, conditioned, and arise from causes, then they are suffering. Moreover, this suffering arises, persists, ceases, and repeatedly occurs; all is suffering. If this suffering is completely abandoned, relinquished, extinguished, dispassionate, ceased, and disappears, and no further suffering arises, then that is peace, that is supreme. This is the abandonment of all remaining attachments, the extinction of all desires, the absence of craving, and the attainment of Nirvana. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and touch give rise to body-consciousness; the combination of these three is contact; with contact arise feeling, perception, and thought. These four are immaterial aggregates, and the body is a material aggregate; these together are called a 'person'… as above, until 'extinction, Nirvana.' The mind and phenomena give rise to mind-consciousness; the combination of these three is contact; with contact arise feeling, perception, and thought. These four are immaterial aggregates, and the four great elements are what the Purusha relies on; these elements together are called a 'person'… as above, extensively, until 'extinction, Nirvana.' If someone deeply understands these elements, dwells in liberation without regression, then regarding the attachments that arise from them, there is no 'I.' Monks, knowing and seeing in this way is seeing the Dharma.

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 現代漢語譯本:(三〇七) 現代漢語譯本:如是我聞: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位比丘獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,心中想著:『如何知曉、如何見到,才稱得上是見到法?』思考完畢后,他從禪定中起身,前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,心中想著:『比丘如何知曉、如何見到,才稱得上是見到法?』現在請問世尊,希望您能為我解說。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴比丘:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。有二法,眼和色,因緣而生眼識……』如上文所廣說。『尊者!就像所說的偈頌:』 現代漢語譯本:『眼色二種緣,  生於心心法,  識觸及俱生,  受想等有因,  非我非我所,  亦非福伽羅,  亦非摩㝹阇,  亦非摩那婆,  是則為生滅,  苦陰變易法,  於斯等作想,  施設於眾生。  那羅摩㝹阇,  及與摩那婆,  亦餘眾多想,  皆因苦陰生。  諸業愛無明,  因積他世陰,  余沙門異道,  異說二法者。  彼但有言說,  聞已增癡惑,  貪愛息無餘,  無明沒永滅。  愛盡眾苦息,  無上佛眼說。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 現代漢語譯本:(三〇八) 現代漢語譯本:如是我聞: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. English version: (307) English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. English version: At that time, there was a certain monk who, alone in a quiet place, was diligently contemplating, thinking to himself: 'How does one know, how does one see, to be called seeing the Dharma?' Having contemplated this, he arose from meditation, went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, I, alone in a quiet place, was diligently contemplating, thinking to myself: 'How does a monk know, how does a monk see, to be called seeing the Dharma?' Now I ask the Venerable One, I hope you will explain it to me.' English version: The Buddha said to the monk: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. There are two dharmas, the eye and form, which give rise to eye consciousness through conditions...' as explained in detail above. 'Venerable One! Just like the verse that was spoken:' English version: 'Eye and form, two conditions, Give rise to mind and mental states, Consciousness, contact, and co-arising, Feeling, perception, etc., have causes, Not self, not belonging to self, Nor is it a 'pudgala', Nor is it a 'manuja', Nor is it a 'manava', It is then arising and ceasing, The changing nature of the aggregates of suffering, By thinking in this way, One establishes beings. 'Nara-manuja', And 'manava', And many other thoughts, All arise from the aggregates of suffering. Actions, craving, and ignorance, Accumulate the aggregates of the next life, Other ascetics and heretics, Who speak differently about these two dharmas. They only have words, Having heard them, they increase delusion, When craving ceases without remainder, Ignorance is extinguished forever. When craving is exhausted, suffering ceases, This is what the unsurpassed Buddha eye has spoken.' English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. English version: (308) English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「諸天、世人於色染著愛樂住,彼色若無常、變易、滅盡,彼諸天、人則生大苦;于聲、香、味、觸、法染著愛樂住,彼法變易、無常、滅盡,彼諸天、人得大苦住。

「如來於色、色集、色滅、色味、色患、色離如實知,如實知已,於色不復染著愛樂住,彼色變易、無常、滅盡,則生樂住;于聲、香、味、觸、法,集、滅、味、患、離如實知,如實知已,不復染著愛樂住,彼色變易、無常、滅盡,則生樂住。所以者何?眼、色緣生眼識,三事和合觸,觸緣受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,此三受集,此受滅、此受患、此受離如實知,于彼色因緣生厄礙,厄礙盡已,名無上安隱涅槃。耳、鼻、舌、身、意法緣生意識,三事和合觸,觸緣受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,彼受集、受滅、受味、受患、受離如實知,如實知已,彼法因緣生厄礙,厄礙盡已,名無上安隱涅槃。」

爾時,世尊而說偈言:

「於色聲香味,  觸法六境界,  一向生喜悅,  愛染深樂著。  諸天及世人,  唯以此為樂,  變易滅盡時,  彼則生大苦。  唯有諸賢聖,  見其滅為樂,  世間之所樂,  觀察悉為怨。  賢聖見苦者,  世間以為樂,  世間之所苦,  于聖則為樂。

現代漢語譯本:

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『諸天和世人對於色(物質)執著、喜愛、安住其中,如果這色是無常的、會變化、會滅盡的,那麼這些天人和世人就會產生巨大的痛苦;對於聲、香、味、觸、法(精神現象)執著、喜愛、安住其中,如果這些法是會變化、無常、滅盡的,那麼這些天人和世人就會感到巨大的痛苦。』

『如來對於色的生起、色的集聚、色的滅盡、色的滋味、色的過患、色的離去如實地知曉,如實知曉后,對於色不再執著、喜愛、安住其中,如果這色變化、無常、滅盡,就會產生快樂的安住;對於聲、香、味、觸、法,它們的生起、滅盡、滋味、過患、離去如實地知曉,如實知曉后,不再執著、喜愛、安住其中,如果這些法變化、無常、滅盡,就會產生快樂的安住。這是為什麼呢?眼睛和顏色相互作用產生眼識,這三者結合產生觸覺,觸覺產生感受,感受有苦、樂、不苦不樂三種,對於這三種感受的生起、滅盡、滋味、過患、離去如實地知曉,對於由色因緣產生的障礙,當障礙消除后,就稱為無上安穩的涅槃。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念和法相互作用產生意識,這三者結合產生觸覺,觸覺產生感受,感受有苦、樂、不苦不樂三種,對於這三種感受的生起、滅盡、滋味、過患、離去如實地知曉,如實知曉后,對於由法因緣產生的障礙,當障礙消除后,就稱為無上安穩的涅槃。』

當時,世尊說了偈語:

『對於色、聲、香、味、觸、法這六種境界, 總是產生喜悅,愛戀執著沉溺其中。 諸天和世人,只把這些當作快樂, 當它們變化滅盡時,就會產生巨大的痛苦。 只有那些賢聖之人,看到它們的滅盡才是快樂, 世間人所認為的快樂,觀察起來都是怨恨。 賢聖之人認為痛苦的,世間人卻認為是快樂, 世間人認為痛苦的,對於賢聖之人來說卻是快樂。』 English version:

At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'Gods and people are attached to, love, and dwell in forms. If these forms are impermanent, changing, and ceasing, then these gods and people will experience great suffering. They are attached to, love, and dwell in sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and mental phenomena. If these phenomena are changing, impermanent, and ceasing, then these gods and people will experience great suffering.'

'The Tathagata truly knows the arising, the gathering, the cessation, the taste, the danger, and the escape of forms. Having truly known this, he no longer attaches to, loves, or dwells in forms. If these forms change, are impermanent, and cease, then he will dwell in happiness. He truly knows the arising, the cessation, the taste, the danger, and the escape of sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and mental phenomena. Having truly known this, he no longer attaches to, loves, or dwells in them. If these phenomena change, are impermanent, and cease, then he will dwell in happiness. Why is this so? The eye and form give rise to eye consciousness. The combination of these three gives rise to contact. Contact gives rise to feeling, which can be pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral. He truly knows the arising, the cessation, the taste, the danger, and the escape of these three feelings. The obstacles arising from the conditions of form, when these obstacles are eliminated, are called the unsurpassed, peaceful Nirvana. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, along with mental phenomena, give rise to consciousness. The combination of these three gives rise to contact. Contact gives rise to feeling, which can be pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral. He truly knows the arising, the cessation, the taste, the danger, and the escape of these feelings. Having truly known this, the obstacles arising from the conditions of phenomena, when these obstacles are eliminated, are called the unsurpassed, peaceful Nirvana.'

At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse:

'Towards forms, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and mental phenomena, these six realms, They always generate joy, deeply loving and attached to them. Gods and people, only take these as happiness, When they change and cease, they will experience great suffering. Only the wise and noble ones, see their cessation as happiness, What the world considers happiness, upon observation, is all resentment. What the wise and noble ones see as suffering, the world considers happiness, What the world considers suffering, for the wise and noble ones, is happiness.'

甚深難解法,  世間疑惑生,  大闇所昏沒,  盲冥無所見。  唯有智慧者,  發朦開大明,  如是甚深句,  非聖孰能知,  不還受身者,  深達諦明瞭。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

爾時,尊者鹿紐來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!如世尊說,有第二住,有一一住。彼云何第二住?云何一一住?」

佛告鹿紐:「善哉!善哉!鹿紐!能問如來如是之義。」

佛告鹿紐:「若眼識色可愛、樂、念、可意,長養于欲;彼比丘見已,喜樂、讚歎、繫著住,愛樂、讚歎、繫著住已,心轉歡喜,歡喜已深樂,深樂已貪愛,貪愛已厄礙。歡喜、深樂、貪愛、厄礙者,是名第二住。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說。鹿紐!有如是像類比丘,正使空閑獨處,猶名第二住。所以者何?愛喜不斷不滅故,愛慾不斷、不知者,諸佛如來說第二住。

「若有比丘,于可愛、樂、念、可意,長養于欲色;彼比丘見已不喜樂、不讚嘆、不繫著住,不喜樂、不讚嘆、不繫著住已,不歡喜,不歡喜故不深樂,不深樂故不貪愛,不貪愛故不厄礙。

現代漢語譯本:

這深奧難解的佛法,世間因此產生疑惑, 被巨大的黑暗所籠罩,如同盲人般什麼也看不見。 唯有具備智慧的人,才能撥開迷霧,開啟光明, 如此深奧的道理,不是聖人誰能理解呢? 只有不再受輪迴之身的人,才能深刻通達真諦,明瞭其中道理。

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(三〇九)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在瞻婆國揭伽池邊。

當時,尊者鹿紐來到佛陀的住所,頂禮佛足后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!正如世尊所說,有第二住,有一一住。請問什麼是第二住?什麼是一一住?』

佛陀告訴鹿紐:『很好!很好!鹿紐!你能問如來這樣的道理。』

佛陀告訴鹿紐:『如果眼睛看到可愛、令人愉悅、令人懷念、合意的事物,從而滋長慾望;這位比丘看到后,就心生喜悅、讚歎、執著,一旦心生喜悅、讚歎、執著,內心就會轉為歡喜,歡喜之後就會更加沉溺,沉溺之後就會產生貪愛,產生貪愛之後就會受到束縛。這種歡喜、沉溺、貪愛、束縛的狀態,就叫做第二住。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。鹿紐!像這類比丘,即使獨自一人在空閑的地方,也叫做第二住。為什麼呢?因為愛慾的喜悅沒有斷絕,沒有滅盡,愛慾沒有斷絕、不明白的人,諸佛如來說他們處於第二住。

『如果有比丘,對於可愛、令人愉悅、令人懷念、合意的事物,滋長慾望;這位比丘看到后,不心生喜悅、不讚嘆、不執著,不心生喜悅、不讚嘆、不執著之後,就不會歡喜,不歡喜就不會沉溺,不沉溺就不會貪愛,不貪愛就不會受到束縛。 English version:

The profound and difficult to understand Dharma, causes doubt to arise in the world, Engulfed by great darkness, like the blind, they see nothing. Only those with wisdom can dispel the fog and open up to the light, Such profound truths, who but a sage can understand? Only those who no longer receive the body of rebirth can deeply understand the truth and comprehend its meaning.

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(309)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling near the Gaggara Pond in the country of Champa.

At that time, the Venerable Loka came to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir! As the Venerable Sir has said, there is a second dwelling, and there is a one-by-one dwelling. What is the second dwelling? What is the one-by-one dwelling?'

The Buddha said to Loka, 'Well said! Well said! Loka! You are able to ask the Tathagata about such a meaning.'

The Buddha said to Loka, 'If the eye recognizes a form that is lovely, pleasant, memorable, and agreeable, which nurtures desire; that monk, having seen it, feels joy, praises it, and dwells attached to it. Having felt joy, praised it, and dwelt attached to it, his mind turns to delight, having delighted, he becomes deeply attached, having become deeply attached, he becomes greedy, having become greedy, he becomes bound. This state of joy, deep attachment, greed, and bondage is called the second dwelling. The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Loka! A monk of this kind, even if he is alone in a secluded place, is still said to be in the second dwelling. Why is that? Because the joy of desire has not been cut off, has not been extinguished. Those whose desire has not been cut off and who do not understand, the Buddhas say are in the second dwelling.

'If there is a monk who, regarding forms that are lovely, pleasant, memorable, and agreeable, nurtures desire; that monk, having seen it, does not feel joy, does not praise it, does not dwell attached to it. Having not felt joy, not praised it, and not dwelt attached to it, he does not delight, not delighting, he does not become deeply attached, not becoming deeply attached, he does not become greedy, not becoming greedy, he does not become bound.'

不歡喜、深樂、貪愛、厄礙者,是名為一一住。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說。鹿紐!如是像類比丘,正使處於高樓重閣,猶是一一住者。所以者何?貪愛已盡、已知故,貪愛已盡、已知者,諸佛如來說名一一住。」

爾時,尊者鹿紐聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(三一〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住瞻婆國揭伽池側。

爾時,尊者鹿紐來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「善哉!世尊!為我說法,我聞法已,當獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至自知不受後有。」

佛告鹿紐:「善哉!善哉!鹿紐!能問如來如是之義。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。」

佛告鹿紐:「若眼見可愛、樂、可意、可念,長養于欲之色;見已,彼說讚歎、繫著、欣悅,讚歎、繫著已,則歡喜集,歡喜集已則苦集。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說。鹿紐!若有比丘,眼見可愛、樂、可念、可意,長養于欲之色;見已不欣悅、不讚嘆、不繫著,不欣悅、不讚嘆、不繫著故,不歡喜集,不歡喜集故則苦滅。耳、鼻、舌、身、意法亦如是說。」

爾時,尊者鹿紐聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

現代漢語譯本:對於不喜歡的、深深喜愛的、貪戀的、以及造成障礙的事物,就稱為『一一住』。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。鹿紐啊!像這樣的比丘,即使身處高樓大廈,仍然是『一一住』。為什麼呢?因為貪愛已經斷盡、已經明瞭,貪愛已經斷盡、已經明瞭的人,諸佛如來稱之為『一一住』。」

當時,尊者鹿紐聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。

(三一〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在瞻婆國揭伽池邊。

當時,尊者鹿紐來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐一旁,對佛陀說:『太好了!世尊!請為我說法,我聽聞佛法后,將獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸地修行,直到自己明白不再有來世。』

佛陀告訴鹿紐:『很好!很好!鹿紐!你能問如來這樣的道理。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。』

佛陀告訴鹿紐:『如果眼睛看到可愛、令人愉悅、合意、值得思念,能增長慾望的色法;看到后,就稱讚、執著、欣喜,稱讚、執著后,就會聚集歡喜,歡喜聚集后就會產生苦。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。鹿紐!如果有比丘,眼睛看到可愛、令人愉悅、值得思念、合意,能增長慾望的色法;看到后不欣喜、不稱讚、不執著,因為不欣喜、不稱讚、不執著,就不會聚集歡喜,不聚集歡喜就不會產生苦。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識的法也是如此。』

當時,尊者鹿紐聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 English version: Those who are not fond of, deeply delighted in, greedy for, and hindered by things are called 『dwelling in each one』. The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. O Lukanu! A bhikkhu like this, even if he dwells in a high mansion, is still one who 『dwells in each one』. Why is that? Because craving is exhausted and known. One whose craving is exhausted and known is called by the Tathagatas 『dwelling in each one.』

Then, Venerable Lukanu, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted. He paid homage and departed.

(310)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling near the Gaggara Pond in the country of Champa.

Then, Venerable Lukanu came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 『Excellent, O Lord! Please teach me the Dharma. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplating, dwelling without negligence, until I know for myself that there is no further existence.』

The Buddha said to Lukanu: 『Excellent, excellent, Lukanu! You are able to ask the Tathagata about such a meaning. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.』

The Buddha said to Lukanu: 『If the eye sees a form that is lovely, pleasing, agreeable, and desirable, which nourishes desire; having seen it, one praises, clings to, and rejoices in it. Having praised and clung to it, joy is accumulated, and having accumulated joy, suffering is accumulated. The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Lukanu! If a bhikkhu, having seen a form that is lovely, pleasing, desirable, and agreeable, which nourishes desire, does not rejoice, praise, or cling to it; because he does not rejoice, praise, or cling to it, joy is not accumulated, and because joy is not accumulated, suffering ceases. The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.』

Then, Venerable Lukanu, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted. He paid homage and departed.

爾時,尊者鹿紐聞佛說法教誡已,獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至得阿羅漢,心善解脫。

(三一一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者富樓那來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「善哉!世尊!為我說法,我坐獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至自知不受後有。」

佛告富樓那:「善哉!善哉!能問如來如是之義。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。若有比丘!眼見可愛、可樂、可念、可意,長養欲之色;見已欣悅、讚歎、繫著,欣悅、讚歎、繫著已歡喜,歡喜已樂著,樂著已貪愛,貪愛已厄礙。歡喜、樂著、貪愛、厄礙故,去涅槃遠。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說。

「富樓那!若比丘,眼見可愛、樂、可念、可意,長養欲之色;見已不欣悅、不讚嘆、不繫著,不欣悅、不讚嘆、不繫著故不歡喜,不歡喜故不深樂,不深樂故不貪愛,不貪愛故不厄礙。不歡喜、不深樂、不貪愛、不厄礙故,漸近涅槃。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說。」

佛告富樓那:「我已略說法教,汝欲何所住?」

富樓那白佛言:「世尊!我已蒙世尊略說教誡,我欲于西方輸盧那人間遊行。」

現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者鹿紐聽聞佛陀的教誨后,獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心致志地思考,不懈怠地修行,最終證得了阿羅漢果位,內心獲得了徹底的解脫。 現代漢語譯本:我是這樣聽說的: 現代漢語譯本:在某個時候,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者富樓那來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀頂禮,然後退到一旁,對佛陀說:『太好了,世尊!請為我說法,我將獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心致志地思考,不懈怠地修行,直到自己明白不再有來世。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴富樓那:『太好了!太好了!你能夠向如來詢問這樣的道理。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。如果有一位比丘,眼睛看到可愛、令人愉悅、令人嚮往、令人心動的,能增長慾望的色相;看到后就心生歡喜、讚歎、執著,心生歡喜、讚歎、執著后就感到快樂,感到快樂后就產生迷戀,產生迷戀后就生起貪愛,生起貪愛后就會受到束縛。因為歡喜、迷戀、貪愛、束縛的緣故,就會遠離涅槃。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是這樣說的。』 現代漢語譯本:『富樓那!如果比丘,眼睛看到可愛、令人愉悅、令人嚮往、令人心動的,能增長慾望的色相;看到后不心生歡喜、不讚嘆、不執著,不心生歡喜、不讚嘆、不執著,所以不感到快樂,不感到快樂所以不深陷迷戀,不深陷迷戀所以不生起貪愛,不生起貪愛所以不受束縛。因為不歡喜、不迷戀、不貪愛、不受束縛的緣故,就會逐漸接近涅槃。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是這樣說的。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴富樓那:『我已經簡略地講了教誨,你打算住在哪裡呢?』 現代漢語譯本:富樓那對佛陀說:『世尊!我已經蒙受世尊的簡略教誨,我打算到西方輸盧那人間去修行。』 English version: At that time, the venerable Lunu, having heard the Buddha's teachings and admonitions, went to a solitary and quiet place, concentrated his mind in contemplation, lived without negligence, and eventually attained Arhatship, his mind well liberated. English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. English version: At that time, the venerable Purna came to the Buddha, bowed his head at his feet, and stood to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'Excellent, O Blessed One! Please teach me the Dharma, so that I may sit in a solitary and quiet place, concentrate my mind in contemplation, live without negligence, and eventually know for myself that there is no further existence.' English version: The Buddha said to Purna, 'Excellent! Excellent! You are able to ask the Tathagata about such a meaning. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. If a bhikkhu, with his eyes, sees a form that is lovely, pleasing, desirable, and attractive, which nourishes desire; having seen it, he is delighted, praises it, and is attached to it; having been delighted, praised, and attached, he is joyful; having been joyful, he is infatuated; having been infatuated, he is greedy; having been greedy, he is bound. Because of joy, infatuation, greed, and bondage, he is far from Nirvana. The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.' English version: 'Purna! If a bhikkhu, with his eyes, sees a form that is lovely, pleasing, desirable, and attractive, which nourishes desire; having seen it, he is not delighted, does not praise it, and is not attached to it; not being delighted, praised, and attached, he is not joyful; not being joyful, he is not deeply infatuated; not being deeply infatuated, he is not greedy; not being greedy, he is not bound. Because of not being joyful, not being deeply infatuated, not being greedy, and not being bound, he gradually approaches Nirvana. The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.' English version: The Buddha said to Purna, 'I have briefly taught the Dharma, where do you intend to dwell?' English version: Purna said to the Buddha, 'O Blessed One! I have received the Blessed One's brief teaching, I intend to go to the land of the Sulunas in the West.'

佛告富樓那:「西方輸盧那人兇惡、輕躁、弊暴、好罵。富樓那!汝若聞彼兇惡、輕躁、弊暴、好罵、毀辱者,當如之何?」

富樓那白佛言:「世尊!若彼西方輸盧那國人,面前兇惡、訶罵、毀辱者。我作是念:『彼西方輸盧那人賢善智慧,雖於我前兇惡、弊暴、罵、毀辱我,猶尚不以手、石而見打擲。』」

佛告富樓那:「彼西方輸盧那人但兇惡、輕躁、弊暴、罵辱,于汝則可脫,復當以手、石打擲者,當如之何?」

富樓那白佛言:「世尊!西方輸盧那人脫以手、石加於我者,我當念言:『輸盧那人賢善智慧,雖以手、石加我,而不用刀杖。』」

佛告富樓那:「若當彼人脫以刀杖而加汝者,復當云何?」

富樓那白佛言:「世尊!若當彼人脫以刀杖,而加我者,當作是念:『彼輸盧那人賢善智慧,雖以刀杖而加於我,而不見殺。』」

佛告富樓那:「假使彼人脫殺汝者,當如之何?」

富樓那白佛言:「世尊!若西方輸盧那人脫殺我者,當作是念:『有諸世尊弟子,當厭患身,或以刀自殺,或服毒藥,或以繩自系,或投深坑;彼西方輸盧那人賢善智慧,於我朽敗之身,以少作方便,便得解脫。』」

現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴富樓那:『西方輸盧那的人民兇惡、輕率、暴躁、喜歡謾罵。富樓那!如果你聽到他們兇惡、輕率、暴躁、喜歡謾罵、毀辱你,你該如何應對?』 富樓那對佛陀說:『世尊!如果那些西方輸盧那國的人,當面兇惡、呵斥、謾罵、毀辱我,我會這樣想:『那些西方輸盧那人真是賢善有智慧,雖然在我面前兇惡、暴躁、謾罵、毀辱我,卻仍然沒有用手或石頭打我。』 佛陀告訴富樓那:『如果那些西方輸盧那人只是兇惡、輕率、暴躁、謾罵,你或許可以忍受,但如果他們又用手或石頭打你,你又該如何應對?』 富樓那對佛陀說:『世尊!如果西方輸盧那人真的用手或石頭打我,我會這樣想:『輸盧那人真是賢善有智慧,雖然用手或石頭打我,卻沒有用刀或棍棒。』 佛陀告訴富樓那:『如果他們真的用刀或棍棒打你,你又該如何應對?』 富樓那對佛陀說:『世尊!如果他們真的用刀或棍棒打我,我會這樣想:『那些輸盧那人真是賢善有智慧,雖然用刀或棍棒打我,卻沒有殺我。』 佛陀告訴富樓那:『假如他們真的殺了你,你又該如何應對?』 富樓那對佛陀說:『世尊!如果西方輸盧那人真的殺了我,我會這樣想:『有一些世尊的弟子,會厭惡自己的身體,或者用刀自殺,或者服毒藥,或者用繩子自縊,或者跳入深坑;那些西方輸盧那人真是賢善有智慧,對於我這朽敗的身體,只是稍微施加一點手段,就讓我得到了解脫。』 English version: The Buddha said to Purna, 'The people of the western Shuluna are wicked, reckless, violent, and fond of cursing. Purna! If you hear them being wicked, reckless, violent, fond of cursing, and insulting you, how will you respond?' Purna said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! If those people of the western Shuluna are wicked, scold, curse, and insult me to my face, I will think: 『Those people of the western Shuluna are virtuous and wise. Although they are wicked, violent, curse, and insult me in front of me, they still do not hit me with their hands or stones.』 The Buddha said to Purna, 'If those people of the western Shuluna are only wicked, reckless, violent, and curse, you may be able to endure it, but if they also hit you with their hands or stones, how will you respond?' Purna said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! If the people of the western Shuluna really hit me with their hands or stones, I will think: 『The people of Shuluna are virtuous and wise. Although they hit me with their hands or stones, they did not use knives or sticks.』 The Buddha said to Purna, 'If they really hit you with knives or sticks, how will you respond?' Purna said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! If they really hit me with knives or sticks, I will think: 『Those people of Shuluna are virtuous and wise. Although they hit me with knives or sticks, they did not kill me.』 The Buddha said to Purna, 'Suppose they really kill you, how will you respond?' Purna said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! If the people of the western Shuluna really kill me, I will think: 『There are some disciples of the World Honored One who are disgusted with their bodies, or commit suicide with knives, or take poison, or hang themselves with ropes, or jump into deep pits; those people of the western Shuluna are virtuous and wise. They have only used a little means on my decaying body, and I have been liberated.』

佛言:「善哉!富樓那!汝善學忍辱,汝今堪能于輸盧那人間住止,汝今宜去度于未度,安於未安,未涅槃者令得涅槃。」

爾時,富樓那聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

爾時,尊者富樓那夜過晨朝,著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,食已還出,付囑臥具,持衣缽去,至西方輸盧那人間遊行。到已,夏安居,為五百優婆塞說法,建立五百僧伽藍,繩床、臥褥、供養眾具悉皆備足。三月過已,具足三明,即于彼處入無餘涅槃。

(三一二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,摩羅迦舅來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「善哉!世尊!為我說法,我聞法已,獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至不受後有。」

爾時,世尊告摩羅迦舅言:「諸年少聰明利根,於我法、律出家未久,於我法、律尚無懈怠,而況汝今日年耆根熟,而欲聞我略說教誡。」

摩羅迦舅白佛言:「世尊!我雖年耆根熟,而尚欲得聞世尊略說教誡。唯愿世尊為我略說教誡,我聞法已,當獨一靜處,專精思惟,乃至自知不受後有。」第二、第三亦如是請。

佛告摩羅迦舅:「汝今且止!」如是再三,亦不為說。

現代漢語譯本:佛說:『好啊!富樓那!你善於學習忍辱,你現在能夠在那輸盧那人居住的地方住下,你現在應該去度化那些尚未被度化的人,安頓那些尚未安頓的人,讓那些尚未涅槃的人得以涅槃。』 當時,富樓那聽了佛說的話,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 當時,尊者富樓那在夜裡過去,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食,吃完飯後出來,囑咐好臥具,拿著衣缽離去,前往西方輸盧那人居住的地方。到達后,在那裡安居過夏,為五百位優婆塞說法,建立了五百座僧伽藍,繩床、臥具、供養的器具都準備齊全。三個月過後,他具足了三明,就在那裡進入無餘涅槃。 (三一二) 我聽聞是這樣: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,摩羅迦舅來到佛的住所,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『太好了!世尊!請為我說法,我聽了法后,會獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸地修行,直到不再受後有。』 當時,世尊告訴摩羅迦舅說:『那些年輕聰明、根器敏銳的人,在我教法和戒律中出家不久,尚且沒有懈怠,更何況你今天年老根熟,卻想聽我略說教誡。』 摩羅迦舅對佛說:『世尊!我雖然年老根熟,但仍然想聽世尊略說教誡。只希望世尊為我略說教誡,我聽了法后,會獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,直到自己知道不再受後有。』他第二、第三次也這樣請求。 佛告訴摩羅迦舅:『你先停下吧!』這樣再三,佛也沒有為他說法。 English version: The Buddha said, 'Excellent! Purna! You are skilled in learning patience. You are now capable of dwelling among the people of Shuluna. You should now go and liberate those who have not been liberated, settle those who have not been settled, and lead those who have not attained Nirvana to Nirvana.' At that time, Purna, having heard the Buddha's words, rejoiced and praised them, then bowed and departed. At that time, the venerable Purna, after the night had passed, in the morning put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered the city of Shravasti to beg for food. After eating, he came out, entrusted his bedding, took his robes and bowl, and went to the place where the people of Shuluna lived in the west. Having arrived, he observed the summer retreat there, preached the Dharma to five hundred Upasakas, established five hundred Sangharamas, and provided all the necessary rope beds, bedding, and offerings. After three months, having attained the three kinds of knowledge, he entered Parinirvana there. (312) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, Malunkyaputta came to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'Excellent! O Blessed One! Please teach me the Dharma. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, and live without negligence, until I no longer experience rebirth.' At that time, the Blessed One said to Malunkyaputta, 'Those young, intelligent, and sharp-witted ones, who have not been ordained in my Dharma and discipline for long, are still not negligent in my Dharma and discipline. How much more so you, who are now old and mature, yet wish to hear me give a brief teaching.' Malunkyaputta said to the Buddha, 'O Blessed One! Although I am old and mature, I still wish to hear the Blessed One give a brief teaching. I only wish that the Blessed One would give me a brief teaching. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, until I know for myself that I will no longer experience rebirth.' He made the same request a second and third time. The Buddha said to Malunkyaputta, 'You should stop now!' Even after this was repeated three times, the Buddha did not teach him.

爾時,世尊告摩羅迦舅:「我今問汝,隨意答我。」

佛告摩羅迦舅:「若眼未曾見色,汝當欲見,于彼色起欲、起愛、起念、起染著不?」

答言:「不也,世尊!」

「耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法亦如是說。」

佛告摩羅迦舅:「善哉!善哉!摩羅迦舅!見以見為量,聞以聞為量,覺以覺為量,識以識為量。」而說偈言:

「若汝非於彼,  彼亦復非此,  亦非兩中間,  是則為苦邊。」

摩羅迦舅白佛言:「已知。世尊!已知。善逝!」

佛告摩羅迦舅:「汝云何於我略說法中廣解其義?」

爾時,摩羅迦舅說偈白佛言:

「若眼已見色,  而失於正念,  則于所見色,  而取愛念相。  取愛樂相者,  心則常繫著,  起于種種愛,  無量色集生。  貪慾恚害覺,  令其心退減,  長養于眾苦,  永離於涅槃。  見色不取相,  其心隨正念,  不染噁心愛,  亦不生繫著。  不起于諸愛,  無量色集生,  貪慾恚害覺,  不能壞其心。  小長養眾苦,  漸次近涅槃,  日種尊所說,  離愛般涅槃。  若耳聞諸聲,  心失於正念,  而取諸聲相,  執持而不捨。

現代漢語譯本:

那時,世尊告訴摩羅迦舅:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。』

佛告訴摩羅迦舅:『如果眼睛沒有見過顏色,你想要看,對於那個顏色會產生慾望、愛戀、思念、執著嗎?』

回答說:『不會的,世尊!』

『耳朵聽聲音、鼻子聞香氣、舌頭嘗味道、身體接觸感覺、意識感知事物也是這樣說。』

佛告訴摩羅迦舅:『好啊!好啊!摩羅迦舅!看見就以看見為限度,聽見就以聽見為限度,感覺就以感覺為限度,意識就以意識為限度。』於是說了偈語:

『如果不是你執著於它,它也不是執著於你,也不是兩者之間,這樣就到達了苦的盡頭。』

摩羅迦舅對佛說:『知道了,世尊!知道了,善逝!』

佛告訴摩羅迦舅:『你為什麼在我簡略說法中廣泛地理解它的含義?』

當時,摩羅迦舅說了偈語告訴佛:

『如果眼睛已經看見顏色,卻失去了正念,就會對所見的顏色產生愛戀和執著。

如果執著于愛戀,心就會常常被束縛,產生各種各樣的愛,無量的顏色就會聚集產生。

貪慾、嗔恨、傷害的感覺,會使他的心退步減弱,增長各種痛苦,永遠遠離涅槃。

看見顏色不執著于表象,心隨著正念,不被邪惡的愛所污染,也不會產生束縛。

不產生各種愛戀,無量的顏色聚集產生,貪慾、嗔恨、傷害的感覺,不能破壞他的心。

稍微增長痛苦,逐漸接近涅槃,日種尊所說,遠離愛戀而般涅槃。

如果耳朵聽到各種聲音,心失去了正念,就會執著于聲音的表象,抓住而不放手。 English version:

At that time, the World Honored One said to Malunkyaputta, 'I will now ask you, answer me as you please.'

The Buddha said to Malunkyaputta, 'If the eye has not seen a color, and you desire to see it, will you then have desire, love, thought, or attachment for that color?'

He replied, 'No, World Honored One!'

'The same can be said for the ear with sounds, the nose with fragrances, the tongue with tastes, the body with touch, and the mind with thoughts.'

The Buddha said to Malunkyaputta, 'Excellent! Excellent, Malunkyaputta! Seeing is measured by seeing, hearing is measured by hearing, feeling is measured by feeling, and knowing is measured by knowing.' And he spoke in verse:

'If you are not attached to it, it is not attached to you, nor is it in between the two, then this is the end of suffering.'

Malunkyaputta said to the Buddha, 'Understood, World Honored One! Understood, Well-Gone One!'

The Buddha said to Malunkyaputta, 'How is it that you have broadly understood the meaning of my brief teaching?'

At that time, Malunkyaputta spoke in verse to the Buddha:

'If the eye has already seen a color, but loses right mindfulness, then one will develop love and attachment for the color seen.

If one is attached to love, the mind will always be bound, giving rise to various kinds of love, and countless colors will gather and arise.

Feelings of greed, hatred, and harm will cause the mind to regress and weaken, increasing all kinds of suffering, and forever be far from Nirvana.

Seeing a color without grasping its appearance, the mind follows right mindfulness, not being tainted by evil love, nor giving rise to attachment.

Not giving rise to various loves, countless colors gather and arise, feelings of greed, hatred, and harm cannot destroy the mind.

Slightly increasing suffering, gradually approaching Nirvana, as the Sun-born One has said, liberation from love is Nirvana.

If the ear hears various sounds, and the mind loses right mindfulness, then one will grasp the appearance of the sounds, holding on and not letting go.'

鼻香舌嘗味,  身觸意念法,  忘失於正念,  取相亦復然。  其心生愛樂,  繫著堅固住,  起種種諸愛,  無量法集生。  貪慾恚害覺,  退滅壞其心,  長養眾苦聚,  永離於涅槃。  不染于諸法,  正智正念住,  其心不染污,  亦復不樂著。  不起于諸愛,  無量法集生,  貪瞋恚害覺,  不退減其心。  眾苦隨損滅,  漸近般涅槃,  愛盡般涅槃,  世尊之所說。」

是名世尊略說法中廣解其義。

佛告摩羅迦舅:「汝真於我略說法中廣解其義。所以者何?如汝所說偈:

「若眼見眾色,  忘失於正念,  則于所見色,  而取愛念相。」

如前廣說。

爾時,尊者摩羅迦舅聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

爾時,尊者摩羅迦舅於世尊略說法中廣解其義已,于獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至成阿羅漢,心得解脫。

(三一三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有經法,諸比丘崇向,而於經法異信、異欲、異聞、異行思惟、異見審諦忍,正知而說:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

現代漢語譯本:鼻子聞香,舌頭品味,身體感受觸覺,意識產生念頭,如果忘記保持正念,就會執著于這些外在的表象。內心因此產生喜愛和快樂,緊緊地執著不放,從而生起各種各樣的愛慾,導致無量的煩惱聚集產生。貪慾、嗔恨和傷害的感受,會使內心退步和衰敗,增長各種痛苦的積累,永遠無法達到涅槃的境界。如果不被這些事物所污染,保持正智和正念,內心就不會被污染,也不會執著于這些事物。不生起各種愛慾,無量的煩惱就不會聚集產生,貪慾、嗔恨和傷害的感受,也不會使內心退步和衰敗。各種痛苦會逐漸減少和消滅,逐漸接近涅槃的境界,當愛慾完全斷盡時,就能達到涅槃,這是世尊所說的道理。這被稱為世尊簡略說法中廣泛解釋其含義。

佛陀告訴摩羅迦舅:『你確實能在我簡略的說法中廣泛解釋其含義。』為什麼這麼說呢?就像你所說的偈頌:『如果眼睛看到各種顏色,忘記保持正念,就會對所看到的顏色產生愛戀和執著的想法。』就像前面所廣泛解釋的那樣。

當時,尊者摩羅迦舅聽了佛陀所說的話,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離開了。

當時,尊者摩羅迦舅在世尊簡略的說法中廣泛解釋其含義后,在獨自安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸地修行,最終證得阿羅漢果,內心得到解脫。

(三一三)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『有一種經法,各位比丘都崇尚它,並且對經法有不同的信仰、不同的慾望、不同的聽聞、不同的行為思考、不同的見解和審慎的忍耐,以正確的認知而說:『我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』 English version: The nose smells fragrances, the tongue tastes flavors, the body experiences touch, and the mind generates thoughts. If one forgets to maintain mindfulness, one will become attached to these external appearances. The mind then gives rise to fondness and pleasure, clinging tightly without letting go, thus generating various desires, leading to the accumulation of immeasurable afflictions. Feelings of greed, hatred, and harm will cause the mind to regress and decay, increasing the accumulation of various sufferings, and forever preventing one from reaching the state of Nirvana. If one is not defiled by these things, and maintains right wisdom and right mindfulness, the mind will not be defiled, nor will it be attached to these things. If one does not generate various desires, immeasurable afflictions will not accumulate, and feelings of greed, hatred, and harm will not cause the mind to regress and decay. Various sufferings will gradually decrease and be eliminated, gradually approaching the state of Nirvana. When desires are completely extinguished, one can attain Nirvana, this is the principle spoken by the World Honored One. This is called the broad explanation of the meaning within the World Honored One's concise teachings.

The Buddha told Malunkyaputta, 'You are indeed able to broadly explain the meaning within my concise teachings.' Why is that? It is like the verse you spoke: 'If the eyes see various colors, and one forgets to maintain mindfulness, one will generate thoughts of love and attachment towards the colors seen.' Just as it was broadly explained before.

At that time, Venerable Malunkyaputta, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, and after paying respects, departed.

At that time, Venerable Malunkyaputta, having broadly explained the meaning within the World Honored One's concise teachings, in a solitary and quiet place, focused his mind diligently on contemplation, practiced without negligence, and ultimately attained the state of Arhat, his mind was liberated.

(313)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.

At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'There is a Dharma teaching, which all monks revere, and regarding this Dharma teaching, they have different beliefs, different desires, different hearings, different behavioral thoughts, different views, and careful endurance, and with correct understanding, they say: 'My birth has ended, the pure practice has been established, what needed to be done has been done, and I know for myself that there will be no future existence.'

諸比丘白佛言:「世尊是法根、法眼、法依。善哉!世尊!唯愿廣說,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告諸比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。比丘!眼見色已,覺知色而不覺色貪,我先眼識於色有貪,而今眼識於色無貪如實知。若比丘眼見於色已,覺知色而不起色貪,覺我先眼識有貪,而言今眼識於色無貪如實知者,諸比丘!于意云何?彼於此為有信、有欲、有聞、有行思惟、有審諦忍不?」

答言:「如是,世尊!」

「歸於此法,如實正知所知所見不?」

答言:「如是,世尊!」

「耳、鼻、舌、身、意法亦如是說。

「諸比丘!是名有經法,比丘於此經法崇向,異信、異欲、異聞、異行思惟、異見審諦忍,正知而說:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三一四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當斷欲,斷眼欲已,眼則已斷、已知,斷其根本,如截多羅樹頭,于未來世永不復生。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

現代漢語譯本:

眾比丘對佛說:『世尊是佛法的根基、佛法的眼睛、佛法的依靠。太好了!世尊!我們懇請您廣為宣說,眾比丘聽聞后,定當遵奉實行。』

佛告訴眾比丘:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。比丘們!眼睛看到顏色后,覺知到顏色卻不覺知對顏色的貪慾,我先前眼睛對顏色有貪慾,而現在眼睛對顏色沒有貪慾,如實地知道。如果比丘眼睛看到顏色后,覺知到顏色卻不生起對顏色的貪慾,覺知到我先前眼睛有貪慾,而說現在眼睛對顏色沒有貪慾,如實地知道,眾比丘們!你們認為如何?他對於此法是有信、有欲、有聞、有實踐思考、有審慎的認可嗎?』

回答說:『是的,世尊!』

『歸於此法,如實地正確知道所知所見嗎?』

回答說:『是的,世尊!』

『耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念對法也是這樣說。』

『眾比丘們!這稱為有經之法,比丘對於此經之法崇尚嚮往,以不同的信念、不同的慾望、不同的聽聞、不同的實踐思考、不同的見解審慎認可,正確地知道而說:『我已生盡,梵行已立,該做的已做完,自己知道不再有後世的生命。』

佛說完此經后,眾比丘聽聞佛所說,歡喜地遵奉實行。

(三一四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當斷除慾望,斷除眼睛的慾望后,眼睛就已斷除、已知,斷除它的根本,如同砍斷多羅樹的樹頭,在未來世永遠不再生長。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念也是這樣說。』

佛說完此經后,眾比丘聽聞佛所說,歡喜地遵奉實行。 English version:

The monks said to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, and the reliance of the Dharma. Excellent, World-Honored One! We beseech you to expound widely, and the monks, having heard it, will surely receive and practice it.'

The Buddha told the monks, 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. Monks! Having seen a form with the eye, one is aware of the form but not aware of greed for the form. I previously had greed for form with the eye, but now I know truly that I have no greed for form with the eye. If a monk, having seen a form with the eye, is aware of the form but does not give rise to greed for the form, and is aware that I previously had greed for form with the eye, and says that now I have no greed for form with the eye, and knows it truly, what do you think, monks? Does he have faith, desire, hearing, practice of thought, and careful acceptance in this Dharma?'

They answered, 'Yes, World-Honored One!'

'Does he, having returned to this Dharma, truly and correctly know what is known and seen?'

They answered, 'Yes, World-Honored One!'

'The same is said for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind regarding the Dharma.'

'Monks! This is called the Dharma with scripture. A monk, having revered and aspired to this Dharma with scripture, with different faith, different desire, different hearing, different practice of thought, and different view of careful acceptance, correctly knows and says, 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, and I know for myself that there will be no future existence.』'

After the Buddha finished speaking this scripture, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully received and practiced it.

(314)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'You should cut off desire. Having cut off the desire of the eye, the eye is cut off and known, its root is cut off, like cutting off the top of a palmyra tree, and it will never grow again in the future. The same is said for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this scripture, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully received and practiced it.

(三一五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若眼生、住、轉出,則苦生、病住、老死出。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說。若眼滅、息、沒,苦生則滅,病則息,死則沒。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三一六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「眼無常,若眼是常者,則不應受逼迫苦,亦應說于眼欲令如是、不令如是。以眼無常故,是故眼受逼迫苦生,是故不得於眼欲令如是、不令如是。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三一七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「眼苦,若眼是樂者,不應受逼迫苦,應得於眼欲令如是、不令如是,以眼是苦故,受逼迫苦,不得於眼欲令如是、不令如是。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三一八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

現代漢語譯本:

(三一五)

我是這樣聽說的:

有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『如果眼睛產生、存在、變化,那麼痛苦就會產生、疾病就會存在、衰老和死亡就會出現。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是這樣說的。如果眼睛滅盡、止息、消失,那麼痛苦的產生就會滅盡,疾病就會止息,死亡就會消失。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是這樣說的。』

佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。

(三一六)

我是這樣聽說的:

有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『眼睛是無常的,如果眼睛是常住不變的,就不應該承受逼迫的痛苦,也應該能夠說讓眼睛這樣、不讓眼睛那樣。因為眼睛是無常的,所以眼睛會承受逼迫的痛苦,所以不能夠讓眼睛這樣、不讓眼睛那樣。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是這樣說的。』

佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。

(三一七)

我是這樣聽說的:

有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『眼睛是苦的,如果眼睛是快樂的,就不應該承受逼迫的痛苦,應該能夠讓眼睛這樣、不讓眼睛那樣。因為眼睛是苦的,所以會承受逼迫的痛苦,不能夠讓眼睛這樣、不讓眼睛那樣。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是這樣說的。』

佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。

(315)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'If the eye arises, abides, and changes, then suffering arises, sickness abides, and old age and death appear. The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. If the eye ceases, subsides, and disappears, then the arising of suffering ceases, sickness subsides, and death disappears. The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.'

After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(316)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'The eye is impermanent. If the eye were permanent, it should not experience the suffering of oppression, and one should be able to say of the eye, 'Let it be thus, let it not be thus.' Because the eye is impermanent, therefore the eye experiences the suffering of oppression, and therefore one cannot say of the eye, 'Let it be thus, let it not be thus.' The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.'

After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(317)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'The eye is suffering. If the eye were pleasure, it should not experience the suffering of oppression, and one should be able to say of the eye, 'Let it be thus, let it not be thus.' Because the eye is suffering, therefore it experiences the suffering of oppression, and one cannot say of the eye, 'Let it be thus, let it not be thus.' The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.'

After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(318)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「眼非我,若眼是我者,不應受逼迫苦,應得於眼欲令如是、不令如是,以眼非我故,受逼迫苦,不得於眼欲令如是、不令如是。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如內六入處三經,外六入處三經,亦如是說。

(三一九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有生聞婆羅門往詣佛所,共相問訊,問訊已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!所謂一切者,云何名一切?」

佛告婆羅門:「一切者,謂十二入處,眼色、耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法,是名一切。若復說言此非一切,沙門瞿曇所說一切,我今舍,別立餘一切者,彼但有言說,問已不知,增其疑惑。所以者何?非其境界故。」

時,生聞婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜奉行。

(三二〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有生聞婆羅門往詣佛所,面相問訊已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!所謂一切有,云何一切有?」

佛告生聞婆羅門:「我今問汝,隨意答我。婆羅門!于意云何?眼是有不?」

答言:「是有,沙門瞿曇!」

「色是有不?」

現代漢語譯本:

當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『眼睛不是我,如果眼睛是我,就不應該遭受逼迫的痛苦,應該能夠讓眼睛如自己所愿,想讓它怎樣就怎樣,不想讓它怎樣就不怎樣。正因為眼睛不是我,所以才會遭受逼迫的痛苦,不能讓眼睛如自己所愿,想讓它怎樣就怎樣,不想讓它怎樣就不怎樣。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是這樣說的。』

佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地接受並奉行。

就像關於內在六入處的三部經一樣,關於外在六入處的三部經,也是這樣說的。

(三一九)

我是這樣聽說的:

有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位名叫生聞的婆羅門來到佛陀那裡,互相問候之後,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇啊!所謂的一切,是什麼意思呢?』

佛陀告訴婆羅門:『所謂的一切,是指十二入處,即眼睛和顏色、耳朵和聲音、鼻子和氣味、舌頭和味道、身體和觸感、意識和法。這叫做一切。如果有人說這不是一切,說沙門瞿曇所說的一切,我現在捨棄,另外建立一個一切,那他只是在空談,問他之後他也不知道,反而增加他的疑惑。為什麼呢?因為那不是他的境界。』

當時,生聞婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地隨喜並奉行。

(三二〇)

我是這樣聽說的:

有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位名叫生聞的婆羅門來到佛陀那裡,互相問候之後,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇啊!所謂的一切有,是什麼意思呢?』

佛陀告訴生聞婆羅門:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。婆羅門!你認為怎麼樣?眼睛是有的嗎?』

他回答說:『是有的,沙門瞿曇!』

『顏色是有的嗎?』 English version:

At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'The eye is not me. If the eye were me, it should not suffer from oppression and pain. It should be able to control the eye as one wishes, making it be this way or not be this way. Because the eye is not me, it suffers from oppression and pain, and cannot control the eye as one wishes, making it be this way or not be this way. The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it.

Just like the three sutras on the six internal sense bases, the three sutras on the six external sense bases are also spoken in the same way.

(319)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, a Brahmin named Senuna went to the Buddha, exchanged greetings, and after the greetings, sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Gautama, what is meant by 'all'?'

The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'All refers to the twelve sense bases: the eye and form, the ear and sound, the nose and smell, the tongue and taste, the body and touch, and the mind and mental objects. This is called all. If someone says this is not all, and says that what the Shramana Gautama calls all, I now reject, and establish another all, then he is just talking nonsense. After asking him, he will not know, and will only increase his doubts. Why? Because it is not within his realm.'

At that time, the Brahmin Senuna, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully rejoiced and practiced it.

(320)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, a Brahmin named Senuna went to the Buddha, exchanged greetings, and after the greetings, sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Gautama, what is meant by 'all exists'?'

The Buddha told the Brahmin Senuna, 'I will now ask you, answer me as you wish. Brahmin, what do you think? Does the eye exist?'

He replied, 'It exists, Shramana Gautama!'

'Does form exist?'

答言:「是有,沙門瞿曇!」

「婆羅門!有色、有眼識、有眼觸、有眼觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂不?」

答言:「有,沙門瞿曇!」

「耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說」。

如是廣說,乃至「非其境界故。」

佛說此經已,生聞婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起去。

(三二一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有生聞婆羅門往詣佛所,共相問訊已,退坐一面,白佛言:「沙門瞿曇!所謂一切法,云何為一切法?」

佛告婆羅門:「眼及色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂。耳、鼻、舌、身、意法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣生受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂,是名為一切法。若復有言此非一切法,沙門瞿曇所說一切法,我今舍,更立一切法者,此但有言數,問已不知,增其癡惑。所以者何?非其境界故。」

佛說此經已,生聞婆羅門聞佛說已,歡喜隨喜,從坐起去。

如生聞婆羅門所問三經,有異比丘所問三經、尊者阿難所問三經、世尊法眼法根法依三經,亦如上說。

(三二二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

現代漢語譯本:

回答說:『是的,沙門瞿曇!』

『婆羅門!有色、有眼識、有眼觸、有眼觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂,還是不苦不樂,對嗎?』

回答說:『是的,沙門瞿曇!』

『耳、鼻、舌、身、意也是這樣說的。』

像這樣廣泛地闡述,乃至『因為不是他們的境界。』

佛陀說完這部經后,生聞婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去。

(三二一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位生聞婆羅門前往佛陀所在之處,互相問候之後,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『沙門瞿曇!所謂一切法,什麼是一切法呢?』

佛陀告訴婆羅門:『眼睛和顏色、眼識、眼觸、眼觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂,還是不苦不樂。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念、法、意識、意觸、意觸因緣所生的感受,無論是苦、樂,還是不苦不樂,這被稱為一切法。如果有人說這不是一切法,說沙門瞿曇所說的一切法,我現在捨棄,要另立一切法,這只是言語上的爭論,問了之後也不知道,反而增加他們的迷惑。為什麼呢?因為這不是他們的境界。』

佛陀說完這部經后,生聞婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去。

像生聞婆羅門所問的三部經一樣,有其他比丘所問的三部經、尊者阿難所問的三部經、世尊關於法眼、法根、法依的三部經,也像上面所說。

(三二二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 English version:

He answered, 'Yes, O Śramaṇa Gautama!'

'Brahmin! Is there form, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant?'

He answered, 'Yes, O Śramaṇa Gautama!'

'The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.'

Thus it was extensively explained, even to 'because it is not their domain.'

After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the Brahmin Saṃjñā heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced, and rose from his seat and departed.

(321)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī.

Then, a Brahmin named Saṃjñā went to where the Buddha was. After exchanging greetings, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'O Śramaṇa Gautama! What is meant by all things? What are all things?'

The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'The eye and forms, eye-consciousness, eye-contact, and feeling born of eye-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant. The ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, mental objects, mind-consciousness, mind-contact, and feeling born of mind-contact, whether it is painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, these are called all things. If someone says that these are not all things, and that they reject what the Śramaṇa Gautama has said about all things, and establish other all things, this is merely a matter of words. When asked, they do not know, and they increase their confusion. Why is that? Because it is not their domain.'

After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the Brahmin Saṃjñā heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced, and rose from his seat and departed.

Like the three discourses asked by the Brahmin Saṃjñā, there are also three discourses asked by other monks, three discourses asked by the Venerable Ānanda, and three discourses of the Blessed One on the Dharma-eye, Dharma-root, and Dharma-support, which are also as described above.

(322)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī.

時,有異比丘往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!如世尊說,眼是內入處,世尊略說,不廣分別。云何眼是內入處?」

佛告彼比丘:「眼是內入處,四大所造凈色,不可見,有對。耳、鼻、舌、身內入處亦如是說。」

復白佛言:「世尊!如世尊說,意是內入處,不廣分別。云何意是內入處?」佛告比丘:「意內入處者,若心、意、識非色,不可見,無對,是名意內入處。」

復問:「如世尊說,色外入處,世尊略說,不廣分別。云何?世尊!色外入處。」

佛告比丘:「色外入處,若色四大造,可見,有對,是名色是外入處。」

復白佛言:「世尊說聲是外入處,不廣分別。云何聲是外入處?」

佛告比丘:「若聲四大造,不可見,有對,如聲,香、味亦如是。」

復問:「世尊說觸外入處,不廣分別。云何觸外入處?」

佛告比丘:「觸外入處者,謂四大及四大造色,不可見,有對,是名觸外入處。」

復問:「世尊說法外入處,不廣分別。」

佛告比丘:「法外入處者,十一入所不攝,不可見,無對,是名法外入處。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位特別的比丘來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁坐下,對佛陀說:『世尊!正如世尊所說,眼睛是內在的入口,世尊只是簡略地說了一下,沒有詳細解釋。眼睛是如何成為內在入口的呢?』 佛陀告訴那位比丘:『眼睛是內在的入口,是由四大元素構成的清凈物質,不可見,有對立性。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體的內在入口也是這樣說的。』 他又問佛陀:『世尊!正如世尊所說,意念是內在的入口,也沒有詳細解釋。意念是如何成為內在入口的呢?』佛陀告訴比丘:『意念的內在入口是指心、意、識,它們不是物質,不可見,沒有對立性,這就是意念的內在入口。』 他又問:『正如世尊所說,顏色是外在的入口,世尊只是簡略地說了一下,沒有詳細解釋。顏色是如何成為外在入口的呢?世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘:『顏色是外在的入口,是由四大元素構成的物質,可見,有對立性,這就是顏色是外在入口。』 他又對佛陀說:『世尊說聲音是外在的入口,也沒有詳細解釋。聲音是如何成為外在入口的呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『聲音是由四大元素構成的,不可見,有對立性。像聲音一樣,氣味和味道也是如此。』 他又問:『世尊說觸覺是外在的入口,也沒有詳細解釋。觸覺是如何成為外在入口的呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『觸覺的外在入口是指四大元素以及由四大元素構成的物質,不可見,有對立性,這就是觸覺的外在入口。』 他又問:『世尊說法是外在的入口,也沒有詳細解釋。』 佛陀告訴比丘:『法的外在入口是指不被前十一個入口所包含的,不可見,沒有對立性的,這就是法的外在入口。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地接受並奉行。 English version: At that time, a certain bhikkhu went to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, as the Venerable Sir has said, the eye is an internal sense base. The Venerable Sir has spoken briefly, without elaborating. How is the eye an internal sense base?' The Buddha told that bhikkhu, 'The eye is an internal sense base, a pure form made of the four great elements, invisible, and having an opposite. The internal sense bases of the ear, nose, tongue, and body are also spoken of in the same way.' He further asked the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, as the Venerable Sir has said, the mind is an internal sense base, without elaborating. How is the mind an internal sense base?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'The internal sense base of the mind is that which is the heart, mind, and consciousness, which are not form, invisible, and without an opposite. This is called the internal sense base of the mind.' He further asked, 'As the Venerable Sir has said, form is an external sense base. The Venerable Sir has spoken briefly, without elaborating. How, Venerable Sir, is form an external sense base?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'Form is an external sense base, a form made of the four great elements, visible, and having an opposite. This is called form as an external sense base.' He further said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, you have said that sound is an external sense base, without elaborating. How is sound an external sense base?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'Sound is made of the four great elements, invisible, and having an opposite. Like sound, smell and taste are also the same.' He further asked, 'Venerable Sir, you have said that touch is an external sense base, without elaborating. How is touch an external sense base?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'The external sense base of touch is the four great elements and the forms made of the four great elements, invisible, and having an opposite. This is called the external sense base of touch.' He further asked, 'Venerable Sir, you have said that phenomena are an external sense base, without elaborating.' The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'The external sense base of phenomena is that which is not included in the eleven sense bases, invisible, and without an opposite. This is called the external sense base of phenomena.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully accepted and practiced it.

如無常。如是苦、空、非我,亦如是說。如內入處四經、外入處四經,亦如是說。

(三三四)

一時,佛住拘留搜調牛聚落。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「今當爲汝說法,初、中、后善,善義善味,純一滿凈,梵行清白。諦聽,善思,謂有因、有緣、有縛法經。

「云何有因、有緣、有縛法經?謂眼有因、有緣、有縛。何等為眼因、眼緣、眼縛?謂眼業因、業緣、業縛,業有因、有緣、有縛

現代漢語譯本:什麼是六種顧念?它們是色顧念、聲顧念、香顧念、味顧念、觸顧念和法顧念,這被稱為六顧念。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有六種覆蓋。什麼是六種覆蓋?它們是色有漏、是執取,心被覆蓋;聲、香、味、觸、法有漏、是執取,心被覆蓋。這被稱為六覆蓋。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去的、未來的眼是無常的,更何況現在的眼。多聞的聖弟子這樣觀察,不留戀過去的眼,不欣求未來的眼,對於現在的眼生起厭離、離欲、滅盡的趨向。耳、鼻、舌、身、意也應如此說。』 如無常一樣,苦、空、非我也應如此說。如內入處四經、外入處四經,也應如此說。 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在拘留搜調牛聚落。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『現在我將為你們說法,初善、中善、后善,意義美好,味道美好,純一圓滿清凈,梵行清白。仔細聽,好好思考,這指的是有因、有緣、有束縛的法經。』 『什麼是有因、有緣、有束縛的法經?指的是眼有因、有緣、有束縛。什麼是眼的因、眼的緣、眼的束縛?指的是眼業的因、業的緣、業的束縛,業有因、有緣、有束縛。』

English version: What are the six considerations? They are the consideration of form, the consideration of sound, the consideration of smell, the consideration of taste, the consideration of touch, and the consideration of dharma. These are called the six considerations. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There are six coverings. What are the six coverings? They are form that is defiled, is grasping, and the mind is covered; sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma that are defiled, are grasping, and the mind is covered. These are called the six coverings.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'The past and future eye are impermanent, how much more so the present eye. A well-learned noble disciple, observing in this way, does not dwell on the past eye, does not desire the future eye, and towards the present eye, generates aversion, detachment, and a tendency towards cessation. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind should also be spoken of in this way.' Just as with impermanence, so too should it be spoken of with suffering, emptiness, and non-self. Just as with the four sutras on the internal sense bases and the four sutras on the external sense bases, so too should it be spoken of. Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kuru village of the cowherd. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'Now I will teach you the Dharma, which is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with good meaning, good taste, pure, complete, and the pure conduct of the holy life. Listen carefully, think well, this refers to the sutra of the Dharma that has causes, conditions, and fetters.' 'What is the sutra of the Dharma that has causes, conditions, and fetters? It refers to the eye having causes, conditions, and fetters. What are the causes, conditions, and fetters of the eye? It refers to the causes, conditions, and fetters of the eye's karma, and karma has causes, conditions, and fetters.'


。何等為業因、業緣、業縛?謂業愛因、愛緣、愛縛,愛有因、有緣、有縛。何等為愛因、愛緣、愛縛?謂愛無明因、無明緣、無明縛,無明有因、有緣、有縛。何等無明因、無明緣、無明縛?謂無明不正思惟因、不正思惟緣、不正思惟縛,不正思惟有因、有緣、有縛。何等不正思惟因、不正思惟緣、不正思惟縛,謂緣眼、色,生不正思惟,生於癡。

「緣眼、色,生不正思惟,生於癡,彼癡者是無明,癡求欲名為愛,愛所作名為業。如是,比丘!不正思惟因無明為愛,無明因愛,愛因為業,業因為眼。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說,是名有因緣、有縛法經。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三三五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘留搜調牛聚落。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當爲汝等說法,初、中、后善,善義善味,純一滿凈,梵行清白,所謂第一義空經。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。

「云何為第一義空經?諸比丘!眼生時無有來處,滅時無有去處。如是眼不實而生,生已盡滅,有業報而無作者,此陰滅已,異陰相續,除俗數法。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說,除俗數法

何謂業因、業緣、業縛?是指業愛之因、愛緣、愛縛,愛有因、有緣、有縛。何謂愛因、愛緣、愛縛?是指愛無明之因、無明緣、無明縛,無明有因、有緣、有縛。何謂無明因、無明緣、無明縛?是指無明不正思惟之因、不正思惟緣、不正思惟縛,不正思惟有因、有緣、有縛。何謂不正思惟之因、不正思惟緣、不正思惟縛?是指緣于眼、色,產生不正思惟,產生愚癡。 『緣于眼、色,產生不正思惟,產生愚癡,那愚癡就是無明,愚癡求欲叫做愛,愛所作的叫做業。如此,比丘們!不正思惟因無明而生愛,無明因愛,愛因生業,業因生眼。耳、鼻、舌、身、意也如此說,這叫做有因緣、有縛法經。』 佛說完此經,眾比丘聽聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (三三五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在拘留搜調牛聚落。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要為你們說法,初善、中善、后善,意義美好,味道美好,純一圓滿清凈,梵行清白,這就是所謂的第一義空經。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。』 『什麼是第一義空經?諸位比丘!眼睛產生時沒有來處,滅去時沒有去處。如此,眼睛不真實而生,生后就滅盡,有業報卻沒有作者,這個陰滅去後,另一個陰相續,除了世俗的計數方法。耳、鼻、舌、身、意也如此說,除了世俗的計數方法。』

What are the causes, conditions, and bonds of karma? They are the causes, conditions, and bonds of karmic love; love has causes, conditions, and bonds. What are the causes, conditions, and bonds of love? They are the causes, conditions, and bonds of love's ignorance; ignorance has causes, conditions, and bonds. What are the causes, conditions, and bonds of ignorance? They are the causes, conditions, and bonds of ignorance's incorrect thinking; incorrect thinking has causes, conditions, and bonds. What are the causes, conditions, and bonds of incorrect thinking? It is when, conditioned by the eye and form, incorrect thinking arises, and from that, delusion arises. 'Conditioned by the eye and form, incorrect thinking arises, and from that, delusion arises. That delusion is ignorance; the desire arising from delusion is called love; what is done out of love is called karma. Thus, monks! Incorrect thinking causes ignorance, which causes love; love causes karma, and karma causes the eye. The same can be said for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. This is called the sutra on the law of causes, conditions, and bonds.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (335) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the village of Kurusodana, the cowherd settlement. At that time, the World-Honored One said to the monks: 'I will now teach you the Dharma, which is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with good meaning and good taste, pure, complete, and clear, the pure conduct of the holy life, which is called the Sutra on the Ultimate Emptiness. Listen carefully and contemplate well, and I will explain it to you.' 'What is the Sutra on the Ultimate Emptiness? Monks! When the eye arises, there is no place from which it comes; when it ceases, there is no place to which it goes. Thus, the eye arises unrealistically, and having arisen, it ceases. There is karmic retribution, but no doer. When this aggregate ceases, another aggregate continues, except for conventional counting. The same can be said for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, except for conventional counting.'


。俗數法者,謂此有故彼有,此起故彼起,如無明緣行,行緣識……」廣說乃至「純大苦聚集起。又復,此無故彼無,此滅故彼滅,無明滅故行滅,行滅故識滅……」如是廣說,乃至「純大苦聚滅。比丘!是名第一義空法經。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三三六)

現代漢語譯本:

『俗數法』的意思是,因為有了這個,所以有了那個;因為這個產生,所以那個產生。例如,『無明』緣起『行』,『行』緣起『識』……如此廣泛地闡述,直到『純粹的大苦聚集起』。反過來,『因為這個沒有,所以那個沒有;因為這個滅亡,所以那個滅亡。』『無明』滅亡,所以『行』滅亡;『行』滅亡,所以『識』滅亡……如此廣泛地闡述,直到『純粹的大苦聚滅』。比丘們!這被稱為第一義空法經。

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(三三六)

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有六種喜樂的行徑。哪六種呢?』『比丘們!如果眼睛看到色彩而感到喜悅,就在那色彩的境地中活動;耳朵聽到聲音、鼻子聞到香氣、舌頭嚐到味道、身體感到觸覺、意識感知到法而感到喜悅,就在那法的境地中活動。比丘們!這被稱為六種喜樂的行徑。』

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有六種憂愁的行徑。哪六種呢?』『比丘們!如果眼睛看到色彩而感到憂愁,就在那色彩的境地中活動;耳朵聽到聲音、鼻子聞到香氣、舌頭嚐到味道、身體感到觸覺、意識感知到法而感到憂愁,就在那法的境地中活動。比丘們!這被稱為六種憂愁的行徑。』

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(三三八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有六種捨棄的行徑。哪六種呢?』『比丘們!如果眼睛看到色彩而感到捨棄,就在那色彩的境地中活動; 耳朵聽到聲音、鼻子聞到香氣、舌頭嚐到味道、身體感到觸覺、意識感知到法而感到捨棄,就在那法的境地中活動。比丘們!這被稱為六種捨棄的行徑。』

English version:

'The method of conventional counting' means that when this exists, that exists; when this arises, that arises. For example, 'ignorance' conditions 'volitional formations', 'volitional formations' condition 'consciousness'… and so on, extensively explaining up to 'the arising of the entire mass of suffering'. Conversely, 'when this does not exist, that does not exist; when this ceases, that ceases.' 'Ignorance' ceases, so 'volitional formations' cease; 'volitional formations' cease, so 'consciousness' ceases… and so on, extensively explaining up to 'the cessation of the entire mass of suffering'. Monks! This is called the Sutra on the Dharma of Emptiness in the Ultimate Sense.

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(336)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

At that time, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'There are six courses of joy. What are the six? Monks! If the eye sees a form and feels joy, one acts in that realm of form. If the ear hears a sound, the nose smells an odor, the tongue tastes a flavor, the body feels a touch, or the mind cognizes a dharma and feels joy, one acts in that realm of dharma. Monks! These are called the six courses of joy.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(337)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

At that time, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'There are six courses of sorrow. What are the six? Monks! If the eye sees a form and feels sorrow, one acts in that realm of form. If the ear hears a sound, the nose smells an odor, the tongue tastes a flavor, the body feels a touch, or the mind cognizes a dharma and feels sorrow, one acts in that realm of dharma. Monks! These are called the six courses of sorrow.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

At that time, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'There are six courses of equanimity. What are the six? Monks! If the eye sees a form and feels equanimity, one acts in that realm of form. If the ear hears a sound, the nose smells an odor, the tongue tastes a flavor, the body feels a touch, or the mind cognizes a dharma and feels equanimity, one acts in that realm of dharma. Monks! These are called the six courses of equanimity.'

時,有眾多外道出家詣尊者浮彌所,共相問訊慶慰,共相問訊慶慰已,退坐一面,語尊者浮彌言:「欲有所問,寧有閑暇見答與不?」

尊者浮彌語諸外道出家:「隨汝所問,當爲汝說。」

時,諸外道出家問尊者浮彌:「苦樂自作耶?」

尊者浮彌答言:「諸外道出家說苦樂自作者,世尊說言:『此是無記。』」

復問:「苦樂他作耶?」

答言:「苦樂他作者,世尊說言:『此是無記。』」

復問:「苦樂自他作耶?」

答言:「苦樂自他作者,世尊說言:『此是無記。』」

復問:「苦樂非自非他無因作耶?」

答言:「苦樂非自非他無因作者,世尊說言:『此是無記。』」

諸外道出家復問:「云何?尊者浮彌苦樂自作耶?說言無記。苦樂他作耶?說言無記。苦樂自他作耶?說言無記。苦樂非自非他無因作耶?說言無記。今沙門瞿曇說苦樂云何生?」

尊者浮彌答言:「諸外道出家!世尊說苦樂從緣起生。」

時,諸外道出家聞尊者浮彌所說,心不歡喜,呵責而去。

爾時,尊者舍利弗去尊者浮彌不遠,坐一樹下。

爾時,尊者浮彌知諸外道出家去已,往詣尊者舍利弗所,到已,與舍利弗面相慶慰

當時,有許多外道出家人來到尊者浮彌那裡,互相問候致意,問候致意完畢后,退坐在一旁,對尊者浮彌說:『我們想請教一些問題,您是否有空閑時間可以回答呢?』 尊者浮彌對外道出家人說:『你們儘管問,我會為你們解答。』 當時,外道出家人問尊者浮彌:『苦和樂是自己造成的嗎?』 尊者浮彌回答說:『外道出家人說苦和樂是自己造成的,世尊說:『這是無記的。』』 又問:『苦和樂是他人造成的嗎?』 回答說:『苦和樂是他人造成的,世尊說:『這是無記的。』』 又問:『苦和樂是自己和他人共同造成的嗎?』 回答說:『苦和樂是自己和他人共同造成的,世尊說:『這是無記的。』』 又問:『苦和樂既不是自己也不是他人造成的,而是無緣無故產生的嗎?』 回答說:『苦和樂既不是自己也不是他人造成的,而是無緣無故產生的,世尊說:『這是無記的。』』 外道出家人又問:『怎麼回事?尊者浮彌,苦和樂是自己造成的嗎?你說無記。苦和樂是他人造成的嗎?你說無記。苦和樂是自己和他人共同造成的嗎?你說無記。苦和樂既不是自己也不是他人造成的,而是無緣無故產生的嗎?你說無記。現在沙門瞿曇說苦和樂是如何產生的?』 尊者浮彌回答說:『外道出家人!世尊說苦和樂是從因緣和合而產生的。』 當時,外道出家人聽到尊者浮彌所說,心中不歡喜,責備他后就離開了。 那時,尊者舍利弗在離尊者浮彌不遠的地方,坐在一棵樹下。 當時,尊者浮彌知道外道出家人已經離開后,就前往尊者舍利弗那裡,到達后,與舍利弗互相問候致意。

At that time, many ascetics from other sects came to Venerable Phumika, greeted him respectfully, and after the greetings, sat down to one side and said to Venerable Phumika, 'We would like to ask some questions. Do you have some free time to answer them?' Venerable Phumika said to the ascetics from other sects, 'Ask whatever you wish, and I will explain it to you.' Then, the ascetics from other sects asked Venerable Phumika, 'Are suffering and happiness self-made?' Venerable Phumika replied, 'When ascetics from other sects say that suffering and happiness are self-made, the World-Honored One says, 'This is indeterminate.'' They asked again, 'Are suffering and happiness made by others?' He replied, 'When suffering and happiness are said to be made by others, the World-Honored One says, 'This is indeterminate.'' They asked again, 'Are suffering and happiness made by both self and others?' He replied, 'When suffering and happiness are said to be made by both self and others, the World-Honored One says, 'This is indeterminate.'' They asked again, 'Are suffering and happiness made without cause, neither by self nor by others?' He replied, 'When suffering and happiness are said to be made without cause, neither by self nor by others, the World-Honored One says, 'This is indeterminate.'' The ascetics from other sects asked again, 'What is going on? Venerable Phumika, is suffering and happiness self-made? You say it is indeterminate. Is suffering and happiness made by others? You say it is indeterminate. Is suffering and happiness made by both self and others? You say it is indeterminate. Is suffering and happiness made without cause, neither by self nor by others? You say it is indeterminate. Now, how does the ascetic Gautama say suffering and happiness arise?' Venerable Phumika replied, 'Ascetics from other sects! The World-Honored One says that suffering and happiness arise from conditions.' At that time, the ascetics from other sects, upon hearing what Venerable Phumika said, were displeased, rebuked him, and left. At that time, Venerable Sariputra was not far from Venerable Phumika, sitting under a tree. Then, Venerable Phumika, knowing that the ascetics from other sects had left, went to Venerable Sariputra, and upon arriving, greeted Sariputra respectfully.


。慶慰已,以彼諸外道出家所問事,具白尊者舍利弗:「我作此答,得不謗毀世尊!如說說、不如法說、不為是隨順法行法,得無為余因法論者來難詰呵責不?」

尊者舍利弗言:「尊者浮彌!汝之所說,實如佛說,不謗如來,如說說、如法說、法行法說,不為余因論義者來難詰呵責。所以者何?世尊說苦樂從緣起生故。尊者浮彌!彼諸沙門、婆羅門所問苦樂自作者,彼亦從因起生;言不從緣起生者,無有是處。苦樂他作、自他作、非自非他無因作說者,彼亦從緣起生;若言不從緣生者,無有是處。尊者浮彌!彼沙門、婆羅門所說苦樂自作者,亦緣觸生;若言不從觸生者,無有是處。苦樂他作、自他作、非自非他無因作者,彼亦緣觸生,若言不緣觸生者,無有是處。」

爾時,尊者阿難去舍利弗不遠,坐一樹下,聞尊者舍利弗與尊者浮彌所論說事。聞已,從座起,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面。以尊者浮彌與尊者舍利弗共論說一一具白世尊。

佛告阿難:「善哉!善哉!阿難!尊者舍利弗有來問者,能隨時答。善哉!舍利弗!有應時智故,有來問者,能隨時答。若我聲聞,有隨時問者,應隨時答,如舍利弗所說

現代漢語譯本:慶幸的是,事情已經結束了。我把那些外道出家人所問的問題,詳細地告訴了尊者舍利弗:『我這樣回答,沒有誹謗世尊吧!像這樣說,是不是如法地說,是不是符合佛法的修行,會不會被其他因果論者來刁難責問呢?』 尊者舍利弗說:『尊者浮彌!你所說的,確實和佛說的一樣,沒有誹謗如來,是如實地說,是如法地說,是符合佛法修行的說法,不會被其他因果論者來刁難責問。為什麼呢?世尊說苦和樂都是從因緣而生的。尊者浮彌!那些沙門、婆羅門所說的苦樂是自己造成的,也是從因緣而生的;如果說不是從因緣而生的,那是不可能的。苦樂是他人造成的、自己和他人共同造成的、既不是自己也不是他人造成的、無緣無故造成的說法,也都是從因緣而生的;如果說不是從因緣而生的,那是不可能的。尊者浮彌!那些沙門、婆羅門所說的苦樂是自己造成的,也是緣于接觸而產生的;如果說不是緣于接觸而產生的,那是不可能的。苦樂是他人造成的、自己和他人共同造成的、既不是自己也不是他人造成的、無緣無故造成的說法,也都是緣于接觸而產生的;如果說不是緣于接觸而產生的,那是不可能的。』 當時,尊者阿難在離舍利弗不遠的地方,坐在一棵樹下,聽到了尊者舍利弗和尊者浮彌的談話。聽完后,他從座位上站起來,走到佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,然後退到一邊站著。他把尊者浮彌和尊者舍利弗的談話內容,一一詳細地告訴了世尊。 佛陀告訴阿難:『好啊!好啊!阿難!尊者舍利弗對於來問的人,能夠隨時回答。好啊!舍利弗!因為他有應時的智慧,所以對於來問的人,能夠隨時回答。如果我的弟子中,有能隨時回答問題的人,就應該像舍利弗所說的那樣回答。』

English version: Fortunately, that matter is settled. I have fully explained to Venerable Sariputta the questions asked by those ascetics of other paths: 'In answering this way, have I not slandered the World-Honored One? Is this speaking in accordance with the Dharma, in accordance with the practice of the Dharma, and will I not be challenged and rebuked by other proponents of causality?' Venerable Sariputta said: 'Venerable Phumika! What you have said is indeed as the Buddha has said, it does not slander the Tathagata, it is speaking truthfully, in accordance with the Dharma, and in accordance with the practice of the Dharma, and you will not be challenged and rebuked by other proponents of causality. Why is that? The World-Honored One has said that suffering and happiness arise from conditions. Venerable Phumika! Those ascetics and Brahmins who say that suffering and happiness are self-caused, they also arise from conditions; if they say they do not arise from conditions, that is not possible. The views that suffering and happiness are caused by others, by both self and others, or by neither self nor others without cause, they also arise from conditions; if they say they do not arise from conditions, that is not possible. Venerable Phumika! Those ascetics and Brahmins who say that suffering and happiness are self-caused, they also arise from contact; if they say they do not arise from contact, that is not possible. The views that suffering and happiness are caused by others, by both self and others, or by neither self nor others without cause, they also arise from contact; if they say they do not arise from contact, that is not possible.' At that time, Venerable Ananda was sitting under a tree not far from Sariputta, and he heard the conversation between Venerable Sariputta and Venerable Phumika. Having heard it, he rose from his seat, went to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and stood to one side. He reported to the World-Honored One in detail the conversation between Venerable Phumika and Venerable Sariputta. The Buddha said to Ananda: 'Well done! Well done! Ananda! Venerable Sariputta is able to answer questions as they arise. Well done! Sariputta! Because he has timely wisdom, he is able to answer questions as they arise. If any of my disciples are able to answer questions as they arise, they should answer as Sariputta has said.'


「阿難!我昔時住王舍城山中仙人住處,有諸外道出家以如是義、如是句、如是味來問於我,我為斯等以如是義、如是句、如是味而為記說,如尊者舍利弗所說。

「阿難!若諸沙門、婆羅門苦樂自作,我即往彼問言:『汝實作是說苦樂自作耶?』彼答我言:『如是。』我即問言:『汝能堅執持此義,言是真實,余則愚者,我所不許。所以者何?我說苦樂所起異於此。』彼若問我:『云何瞿曇所說,苦樂所起異者?』我當答言:『從其緣起而生苦樂。如是說苦他作、自他作、非自非他無因作者,我亦往彼所說如上。』」

阿難白佛:「如世尊所說義,我已解知,有生故有老死,非緣余;有生故有老死,乃至無明故有行,非緣余;有無明故有行,無明滅則行滅,乃至生滅則老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,如是純大苦聚滅。」

佛說此經已,尊者阿難聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(三四四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,尊者舍利弗、尊者摩訶拘絺羅住耆阇崛山

現代漢語譯本 『阿難!我過去住在王舍城山中的仙人住所時,有一些外道出家人用這樣的意義、這樣的語句、這樣的觀點來問我,我為他們用這樣的意義、這樣的語句、這樣的觀點來解答,就像尊者舍利弗所說的那樣。 『阿難!如果有些沙門、婆羅門認為苦樂是自己造成的,我就會去問他們:『你們真的認為苦樂是自己造成的嗎?』他們會回答我說:『是的。』我就會問他們:『你們能堅持這個觀點,認為這是真實的,而其他觀點都是愚蠢的,我不認可嗎?』為什麼呢?因為我說苦樂的產生與此不同。』如果他們問我:『那麼瞿曇所說的苦樂的產生不同是什麼呢?』我就會回答說:『苦樂是從因緣生起的。』如果有人說苦樂是他人造成的、自己和他人共同造成的、既非自己也非他人造成的、無因而生的,我也會像上面那樣去問他們。』 阿難對佛說:『世尊所說的意義,我已經理解了,因為有生所以有老死,不是因為其他原因;因為有生所以有老死,乃至因為無明所以有行,不是因為其他原因;因為有無明所以有行,無明滅則行滅,乃至生滅則老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,這樣純粹的大苦聚就滅了。』 佛說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離開了。 (三四四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,尊者舍利弗和尊者摩訶拘絺羅住在耆阇崛山。

English version 'Ananda! In the past, when I lived in the hermitage on the mountain in Rajagriha, some ascetics of other sects came to me with such meanings, such phrases, and such views. I answered them with such meanings, such phrases, and such views, just as Venerable Sariputra has said. 'Ananda! If some ascetics or Brahmins believe that suffering and happiness are self-created, I would go to them and ask: 'Do you really say that suffering and happiness are self-created?' They would answer me: 'Yes.' I would then ask them: 'Can you firmly hold this view, believing it to be true, and that other views are foolish, which I do not accept?' Why? Because I say that the arising of suffering and happiness is different from this.' If they ask me: 'Then what is the difference in the arising of suffering and happiness that Gautama speaks of?' I would answer: 'Suffering and happiness arise from conditions.' If someone says that suffering and happiness are created by others, created by both self and others, created by neither self nor others, or arise without cause, I would also go to them and ask as above.' Ananda said to the Buddha: 'I have understood the meaning of what the World-Honored One has said. Because there is birth, there is old age and death, not because of other reasons; because there is birth, there is old age and death, and even because of ignorance there is action, not because of other reasons; because there is ignorance there is action, when ignorance ceases, action ceases, and even when birth ceases, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering cease, thus this pure mass of great suffering ceases.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, paid his respects, and departed. (344) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, Venerable Sariputra and Venerable Maha Kaushtila were staying on Mount Gijjhakuta.


時,尊者摩訶拘絺羅晡時從禪定起,詣舍利弗所,共相慶慰,共相慶慰已,退坐一面,語尊者舍利弗:「欲有所問,寧有閑暇見答與不?」

尊者舍利弗語尊者摩訶拘絺羅:「仁者但問,知者當答。」

尊者摩訶拘絺羅語尊者舍利弗言:「多聞聖弟子於此法、律,成就何法,名為見具足,直見成就,成就於佛不壞凈,來入正法,得此正法,悟此正法?」

尊者舍利弗語尊者摩訶拘絺羅:「多聞聖弟子于不善法如實知、不善根如實知、善法如實知、善根如實知。

「云何不善法如實知?不善身業、口業、意業,是名不善法,如是不善法如實知。云何不善根如實知?三不善根——貪不善根、恚不善根、癡不善根——是名不善根,如是不善根如實知。

「云何善法如實知?善身業、口業、意業,是名善法,如是善法如實知。云何善根如實知?謂三善根——無貪、無恚、無癡——是名三善根,如是善根如實知。

「尊者摩訶拘絺羅!如是多聞聖弟子不善法如實知、不善根如實知、善法如實知、善根如實知,故於此法、律正見具足,直見成就,于佛不壞凈成就,來入正法,得此正法,悟此正法

現代漢語譯本:

當時,尊者摩訶拘絺羅在下午從禪定中起身,前往舍利弗尊者處,互相問候,問候完畢后,退坐在一旁,對舍利弗尊者說:『我有些問題想請教,您是否有空解答呢?』 舍利弗尊者對摩訶拘絺羅尊者說:『仁者請問,知道的我會回答。』 摩訶拘絺羅尊者對舍利弗尊者說:『一位多聞的聖弟子,在這佛法和戒律中,成就了什麼,才能被稱為見解圓滿,成就了正確的見解,成就了對佛陀不壞的清凈信心,從而進入正法,獲得正法,領悟正法呢?』 舍利弗尊者對摩訶拘絺羅尊者說:『一位多聞的聖弟子,如實地知曉不善法,如實地知曉不善的根源,如實地知曉善法,如實地知曉善的根源。』 『如何如實地知曉不善法呢?不善的身業、口業、意業,這被稱為不善法,這樣如實地知曉不善法。如何如實地知曉不善的根源呢?三種不善的根源——貪的不善根、嗔的不善根、癡的不善根——這被稱為不善的根源,這樣如實地知曉不善的根源。 『如何如實地知曉善法呢?善的身業、口業、意業,這被稱為善法,這樣如實地知曉善法。如何如實地知曉善的根源呢?所謂的三種善的根源——無貪、無嗔、無癡——這被稱為三種善的根源,這樣如實地知曉善的根源。 『尊者摩訶拘絺羅!像這樣,一位多聞的聖弟子如實地知曉不善法,如實地知曉不善的根源,如實地知曉善法,如實地知曉善的根源,因此,在這佛法和戒律中,他的正見就圓滿了,成就了正確的見解,成就了對佛陀不壞的清凈信心,從而進入正法,獲得正法,領悟正法。』

English version:

At that time, the venerable Mahākoṣṭhila, having risen from meditation in the afternoon, went to the venerable Śāriputra. After exchanging greetings, he sat down to one side and said to the venerable Śāriputra, 『I have some questions to ask. Do you have the time to answer them?』 The venerable Śāriputra said to the venerable Mahākoṣṭhila, 『Ask, venerable one, and I will answer what I know.』 The venerable Mahākoṣṭhila said to the venerable Śāriputra, 『A well-learned noble disciple, having achieved what in this Dharma and Discipline, is said to have perfect vision, to have achieved right view, to have achieved unwavering faith in the Buddha, and thus to have entered the true Dharma, attained this true Dharma, and understood this true Dharma?』 The venerable Śāriputra said to the venerable Mahākoṣṭhila, 『A well-learned noble disciple truly knows unwholesome actions, truly knows the roots of unwholesome actions, truly knows wholesome actions, and truly knows the roots of wholesome actions.』 『How does one truly know unwholesome actions? Unwholesome bodily actions, verbal actions, and mental actions are called unwholesome actions. Thus, one truly knows unwholesome actions. How does one truly know the roots of unwholesome actions? The three roots of unwholesome actions—the unwholesome root of greed, the unwholesome root of hatred, and the unwholesome root of delusion—are called the roots of unwholesome actions. Thus, one truly knows the roots of unwholesome actions.』 『How does one truly know wholesome actions? Wholesome bodily actions, verbal actions, and mental actions are called wholesome actions. Thus, one truly knows wholesome actions. How does one truly know the roots of wholesome actions? The three roots of wholesome actions—non-greed, non-hatred, and non-delusion—are called the three roots of wholesome actions. Thus, one truly knows the roots of wholesome actions.』 『Venerable Mahākoṣṭhila! In this way, a well-learned noble disciple truly knows unwholesome actions, truly knows the roots of unwholesome actions, truly knows wholesome actions, and truly knows the roots of wholesome actions. Therefore, in this Dharma and Discipline, his right view is perfected, he has achieved right view, he has achieved unwavering faith in the Buddha, and thus he has entered the true Dharma, attained this true Dharma, and understood this true Dharma.』


。」

尊者摩訶拘絺羅語尊者舍利弗:「正有此等,更有餘耶?」

尊者舍利弗言:「有。若多聞聖弟子于食如實知,食集、食滅、食滅道跡如實知。

「云何于食如實知?謂四食。何等為四?一者粗摶食,二者細觸食,三者意思食,四者識食,是名為食,如是食如實知。云何食集如實知?謂當來有愛,喜、貪俱,彼彼樂著,是名食集,如是食集如實知。云何食滅如實知?若當來有愛,喜、貪俱,彼彼樂著無餘斷、舍、吐、盡、離欲、滅、息、沒,是名食滅,如是食滅如實知。云何食滅道跡如實知?謂八聖道——正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,是名食滅道跡,如是食滅道跡如實知。

「若多聞聖弟子於此食如實知、食集如實知、食滅如實知、食滅道跡如實知,是故多聞聖弟子于正法、律正見具足,直見成就,于佛不壞凈成就,來入正法,得此正法,悟此正法。」

尊者摩訶拘絺羅復問尊者舍利弗:「正有此等,更有餘耶?」

尊者舍利弗言:「尊者摩訶拘絺羅!復更有餘,多聞聖弟子于病如實知、病集如實知、病滅如實知、病滅道跡如實知。

「云何有病如實知?謂三病——欲病、有病、無明病——是名病,如是病如實知

現代漢語譯本 尊者摩訶拘絺羅問尊者舍利弗:『只有這些嗎,還有其他的嗎?』 尊者舍利弗說:『有。如果多聞的聖弟子如實地知道食物,如實地知道食物的生起、食物的滅盡、食物滅盡的道路。』 『如何如實地知道食物?』是指四種食物。哪四種呢?第一是粗摶食,第二是細觸食,第三是意思食,第四是識食,這稱為食物,這樣如實地知道食物。如何如實地知道食物的生起?是指未來的愛慾,伴隨著喜悅和貪婪,對各種事物執著,這稱為食物的生起,這樣如實地知道食物的生起。如何如實地知道食物的滅盡?是指未來的愛慾,伴隨著喜悅和貪婪,對各種事物執著的完全斷除、捨棄、吐出、滅盡、離欲、寂滅、止息、消失,這稱為食物的滅盡,這樣如實地知道食物的滅盡。如何如實地知道食物滅盡的道路?是指八聖道——正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,這稱為食物滅盡的道路,這樣如實地知道食物滅盡的道路。 『如果多聞的聖弟子如實地知道這食物,如實地知道食物的生起,如實地知道食物的滅盡,如實地知道食物滅盡的道路,因此多聞的聖弟子在正法和戒律中具足正見,成就直見,成就對佛陀不壞的清凈信心,進入正法,得到這正法,領悟這正法。』 尊者摩訶拘絺羅又問尊者舍利弗:『只有這些嗎,還有其他的嗎?』 尊者舍利弗說:『尊者摩訶拘絺羅!還有其他的,多聞的聖弟子如實地知道疾病,如實地知道疾病的生起,如實地知道疾病的滅盡,如實地知道疾病滅盡的道路。』 『如何如實地知道疾病?』是指三種疾病——欲病、有病、無明病——這稱為疾病,這樣如實地知道疾病。

English version Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila said to Venerable Sāriputta, 『Are there just these, or are there more?』 Venerable Sāriputta said, 『There are. If a well-taught noble disciple truly understands food, truly understands the arising of food, the cessation of food, and the path leading to the cessation of food.』 『How does one truly understand food?』 It refers to four kinds of food. What are the four? First, coarse food; second, fine contact food; third, volitional food; fourth, consciousness food. This is called food, and thus one truly understands food. How does one truly understand the arising of food? It refers to future craving, accompanied by delight and greed, with attachment to various things. This is called the arising of food, and thus one truly understands the arising of food. How does one truly understand the cessation of food? It refers to the complete ending, relinquishing, discarding, cessation, detachment, extinction, calming, and disappearance of future craving, accompanied by delight and greed, with attachment to various things. This is called the cessation of food, and thus one truly understands the cessation of food. How does one truly understand the path leading to the cessation of food? It refers to the Noble Eightfold Path—right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration. This is called the path leading to the cessation of food, and thus one truly understands the path leading to the cessation of food.』 『If a well-taught noble disciple truly understands this food, truly understands the arising of food, truly understands the cessation of food, and truly understands the path leading to the cessation of food, then that well-taught noble disciple is complete in right view in the Dharma and the Discipline, has attained direct vision, has attained unshakeable faith in the Buddha, has entered the Dharma, has obtained this Dharma, and has realized this Dharma.』 Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila again asked Venerable Sāriputta, 『Are there just these, or are there more?』 Venerable Sāriputta said, 『Venerable Mahākoṭṭhila! There are more. A well-taught noble disciple truly understands disease, truly understands the arising of disease, truly understands the cessation of disease, and truly understands the path leading to the cessation of disease.』 『How does one truly understand disease?』 It refers to three diseases—the disease of desire, the disease of existence, and the disease of ignorance—this is called disease, and thus one truly understands disease.


。云何病集如實知?無明集是病集,是名病集如實知。云何病滅如實知?無明滅是病滅,如是病滅如實知。云何病滅道跡如實知?謂八正道,如前說,如是病滅道跡如實知。

「若多聞聖弟子于病如實知、病集如實知、病滅如實知、病滅道跡如實知,故多聞聖弟子於此法、律正見具足,乃至悟此正法。」

尊者摩訶拘絺羅問尊者舍利弗:「正有此等,更有餘耶?」

尊者舍利弗語尊者摩訶拘絺羅:「亦更有餘,多聞聖弟子于苦如實知、苦集如實知、苦滅如實知、苦滅道跡如實知。

「云何苦如實知?謂生苦、老苦、病苦、死苦、恩愛別苦、怨憎會苦、所欲不得苦,如是略說五受陰苦,是名為苦,如是苦如實知。云何苦集如實知?當來有愛,喜、貪俱,彼彼集著,是名苦集,如是苦集如實知。云何苦滅如實知?若當來有愛,喜、貪俱,彼彼染著無餘斷,乃至息、沒,是名苦滅,如是苦滅如實知。云何苦滅道跡如實知?謂八聖道,如上說,是名苦滅道跡,如是苦滅道跡如實知。

現代漢語譯本:如何如實知曉疾病的集起?無明的集起是疾病的集起,這被稱為如實知曉疾病的集起。如何如實知曉疾病的滅盡?無明的滅盡是疾病的滅盡,這樣如實知曉疾病的滅盡。如何如實知曉導致疾病滅盡的道路?即是八正道,如前所述,這樣如實知曉導致疾病滅盡的道路。 『如果多聞的聖弟子如實知曉疾病、如實知曉疾病的集起、如實知曉疾病的滅盡、如實知曉導致疾病滅盡的道路,那麼這位多聞的聖弟子對於此法、律就具備了正確的見解,乃至領悟此正法。』 尊者摩訶拘絺羅問尊者舍利弗:『只有這些嗎,還有其他的嗎?』 尊者舍利弗對尊者摩訶拘絺羅說:『還有其他的,多聞的聖弟子如實知曉苦、如實知曉苦的集起、如實知曉苦的滅盡、如實知曉導致苦滅盡的道路。』 『如何如實知曉苦?所謂生苦、老苦、病苦、死苦、愛別離苦、怨憎會苦、所求不得苦,簡略來說,五受陰的苦,這被稱為苦,這樣如實知曉苦。如何如實知曉苦的集起?當來有的愛,伴隨著喜悅和貪慾,在各個地方執著,這被稱為苦的集起,這樣如實知曉苦的集起。如何如實知曉苦的滅盡?如果當來有的愛,伴隨著喜悅和貪慾,在各個地方的染著完全斷除,乃至止息、消滅,這被稱為苦的滅盡,這樣如實知曉苦的滅盡。如何如實知曉導致苦滅盡的道路?即是八聖道,如上所述,這被稱為導致苦滅盡的道路,這樣如實知曉導致苦滅盡的道路。』 『多聞的聖弟子這樣如實知曉苦,如實知曉苦的集起、苦的滅盡、導致苦滅盡的道路。這樣的聖弟子對於我的法、律具備了正確的見解,直接的見解成就,對於佛陀的不壞凈成就,進入正道,得到此正法,領悟此正法。』

English version: How does one truly understand the arising of disease? The arising of ignorance is the arising of disease; this is called truly understanding the arising of disease. How does one truly understand the cessation of disease? The cessation of ignorance is the cessation of disease; thus, one truly understands the cessation of disease. How does one truly understand the path leading to the cessation of disease? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, as previously described; thus, one truly understands the path leading to the cessation of disease. 'If a well-learned noble disciple truly understands disease, truly understands the arising of disease, truly understands the cessation of disease, and truly understands the path leading to the cessation of disease, then this well-learned noble disciple possesses right view in this Dharma and Discipline, and even realizes this true Dharma.'

A well-learned noble disciple truly understands suffering, truly understands the arising of suffering, truly understands the cessation of suffering, and truly understands the path leading to the cessation of suffering.' 'How does one truly understand suffering? It is the suffering of birth, the suffering of aging, the suffering of sickness, the suffering of death, the suffering of separation from loved ones, the suffering of encountering what is disliked, and the suffering of not obtaining what is desired. Briefly, the suffering of the five aggregates of clinging is called suffering; thus, one truly understands suffering. How does one truly understand the arising of suffering? It is the future craving, accompanied by delight and greed, clinging to various things; this is called the arising of suffering; thus, one truly understands the arising of suffering. How does one truly understand the cessation of suffering? If that future craving, accompanied by delight and greed, clinging to various things, is completely abandoned, even to its cessation and extinction, this is called the cessation of suffering; thus, one truly understands the cessation of suffering. How does one truly understand the path leading to the cessation of suffering? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, as described above; this is called the path leading to the cessation of suffering; thus, one truly understands the path leading to the cessation of suffering.' 'A well-learned noble disciple thus truly understands suffering, truly understands the arising of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path leading to the cessation of suffering. Such a noble disciple possesses right view in my Dharma and Discipline, has attained direct vision, has attained unwavering faith in the Buddha, has entered the right path, has obtained this true Dharma, and has realized this true Dharma.'


。」

復問尊者舍利弗:「正有此法,復有餘耶?」

尊者舍利弗答言:「更有餘,謂多聞聖弟子老死如實知、老死集如實知、老死滅如實知、老死滅道跡如實知,如前分別經說。云何老死集如實知?生集是老死集,生滅是老死滅,老死滅道跡,謂八正道,如前說,多聞聖弟子於此老死如實知,乃至老死滅道跡如實知。如是聖弟子於我法、律正見具足,直見成就,于佛不壞凈成就,來入正法,得此正法,悟此正法。如是生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行,聖弟子於行如實知,行集、行滅、行滅道跡如實知。

摩訶拘絺羅復問尊者舍利弗:「唯有此法,更有餘耶?」

舍利弗答言:「摩訶拘絺羅!汝何為逐,汝終不能究竟諸論,得其邊際

現代漢語譯本 又問尊者舍利弗:『只有這些法嗎,還有其他的嗎?』 尊者舍利弗回答說:『還有其他的,就是指多聞的聖弟子如實地知曉老死,如實地知曉老死的生起,如實地知曉老死的滅盡,如實地知曉導致老死滅盡的道路,就像之前分別經里所說的那樣。』 『如何如實地知曉老死的生起?生的生起就是老死的生起,生的滅盡就是老死的滅盡,導致老死滅盡的道路,就是八正道,就像之前所說的那樣。多聞的聖弟子對於老死如實地知曉,乃至對於導致老死滅盡的道路如實地知曉。』 『這樣的聖弟子對於我的法和律,正見具足,直見成就,對於佛陀有不壞的清凈信心,進入正法,得到這正法,領悟這正法。』 『就像這樣,生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行,聖弟子對於行如實地知曉,對於行的生起、行的滅盡、導致行滅盡的道路如實地知曉。』 『如何如實地知曉行?行有三種——身行、口行、意行,這樣如實地知曉行。如何如實地知曉行的生起?無明的生起就是行的生起,這樣如實地知曉行的生起。如何如實地知曉行的滅盡?無明的滅盡就是行的滅盡,這樣如實地知曉行的滅盡。如何如實地知曉導致行滅盡的道路?就是八聖道,就像之前所說的那樣。』 『摩訶拘絺羅!這就是聖弟子如實地知曉行,如實地知曉行的生起、行的滅盡、導致行滅盡的道路,對於我的法和律,正見具足,直見成就,對於佛陀有不壞的清凈信心,進入正法,得到這正法,領悟這正法。』 摩訶拘絺羅又問尊者舍利弗:『只有這些法嗎,還有其他的嗎?』 舍利弗回答說:『摩訶拘絺羅!你為何如此追問,你終究不能窮盡所有的論點,得到它們的邊際。』

English version Then, he asked Venerable Sariputra again: 'Is this the only teaching, or is there more?' Venerable Sariputra replied: 'There is more. It refers to the well-learned noble disciple who truly understands old age and death, truly understands the arising of old age and death, truly understands the cessation of old age and death, and truly understands the path leading to the cessation of old age and death, as explained in the previous discourse on analysis.' 'How does one truly understand the arising of old age and death? The arising of birth is the arising of old age and death; the cessation of birth is the cessation of old age and death. The path leading to the cessation of old age and death is the Noble Eightfold Path, as previously stated. The well-learned noble disciple truly understands old age and death, and so on, up to truly understanding the path leading to the cessation of old age and death.' 'Such a noble disciple is complete in right view regarding my Dharma and Discipline, has attained direct vision, has unwavering faith in the Buddha, enters the true Dharma, obtains this true Dharma, and comprehends this true Dharma.' 'Likewise, regarding birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, the six sense bases, name and form, consciousness, and volitional formations, the noble disciple truly understands volitional formations, truly understands the arising of volitional formations, the cessation of volitional formations, and the path leading to the cessation of volitional formations.' 'How does one truly understand volitional formations? There are three kinds of volitional formations: bodily volitional formations, verbal volitional formations, and mental volitional formations. Thus, one truly understands volitional formations. How does one truly understand the arising of volitional formations? The arising of ignorance is the arising of volitional formations. Thus, one truly understands the arising of volitional formations. How does one truly understand the cessation of volitional formations? The cessation of ignorance is the cessation of volitional formations. Thus, one truly understands the cessation of volitional formations. How does one truly understand the path leading to the cessation of volitional formations? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, as previously stated.' 'Mahakotthita! This is how a noble disciple truly understands volitional formations, truly understands the arising of volitional formations, the cessation of volitional formations, and the path leading to the cessation of volitional formations. Regarding my Dharma and Discipline, they are complete in right view, have attained direct vision, have unwavering faith in the Buddha, enter the true Dharma, obtain this true Dharma, and comprehend this true Dharma.' Mahakotthita then asked Venerable Sariputra again: 'Is this the only teaching, or is there more?' Sariputra replied: 'Mahakotthita! Why do you keep pursuing this? You will never be able to exhaust all the arguments and reach their limits.'


。若聖弟子斷除無明而生明,何須更求?」

時,二正士共論義已,各還本處。

(三四五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告尊者舍利弗:「如我所說,波羅延那阿逸多所問:

「『若得諸法數,  若複種種學,   具威儀及行,  為我分別說。』

「舍利弗!何等為學?何等為法數?」

時,尊者舍利弗默然不答,第二、第三亦復默然。

佛言:「真實。舍利弗!」

舍利弗白佛言:「真實。世尊!世尊!比丘真實者,厭、離欲、滅盡向。食集生,彼比丘以食故,生厭、離欲、滅盡向。彼食滅,是真實滅,覺知已,彼比丘厭、離欲、滅盡向,是名為學。」

「複次,真實,舍利弗!」

舍利弗白佛言:「真實。世尊!世尊!若比丘真實者,厭、離欲、滅盡,不起諸漏,心善解脫。彼從食集生,若真實即是滅盡,覺知此已,比丘于滅生厭、離欲、滅盡,不起諸漏,心善解脫,是數法。」

佛告舍利弗:「如是,如是,如汝所說。比丘于真實生厭、離欲、滅盡,是名法數。」如是說已,世尊即起,入室坐禪

現代漢語譯本:如果聖弟子斷除了無明而生起了智慧,又何必再去尋求什麼呢? 當時,兩位修行者討論完佛法后,各自回到自己的住所。 (三四五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴尊者舍利弗:『正如我所說,波羅延那阿逸多所問: 『如果通曉諸法之數,如果又學習種種法門,具備威儀和修行,請為我分別解說。』 『舍利弗!什麼是學習?什麼是法數?』 當時,尊者舍利弗沉默不語,第二次、第三次也是沉默不語。 佛陀說:『確實如此,舍利弗!』 舍利弗對佛陀說:『確實如此,世尊!世尊!比丘所說的真實,是指厭離、離欲、趨向滅盡。食物的集起導致(煩惱)產生,這位比丘因為食物的緣故,生起厭離、離欲、趨向滅盡。當食物滅盡時,這就是真實的滅盡,覺知到這一點后,這位比丘生起厭離、離欲、趨向滅盡,這稱為學習。』 『再者,真實,舍利弗!』 舍利弗對佛陀說:『確實如此,世尊!世尊!如果比丘所說的真實,是指厭離、離欲、滅盡,不再生起諸漏,心得到善解脫。他從食物的集起而生,如果真實就是滅盡,覺知到這一點后,比丘對於滅盡生起厭離、離欲、滅盡,不再生起諸漏,心得到善解脫,這就是法數。』 佛陀告訴舍利弗:『是的,是的,正如你所說。比丘對於真實生起厭離、離欲、滅盡,這稱為法數。』說完這些,世尊就起身,回到自己的房間坐禪。

English version: If a noble disciple has eradicated ignorance and generated wisdom, what need is there to seek further? Then, the two practitioners, having discussed the Dharma, each returned to their own dwelling. (345) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. Then, the Blessed One said to the venerable Sariputta: 'As I have said, what was asked by Parayana Ajita: 'If one understands the number of all things, and also learns various practices, possessing proper conduct and behavior, please explain this to me separately.' 'Sariputta! What is learning? What is the number of things?' Then, the venerable Sariputta remained silent, and the second and third times he also remained silent. The Buddha said: 'It is true, Sariputta!' Sariputta said to the Buddha: 'It is true, Blessed One! Blessed One! What a bhikkhu means by 'true' is to be disgusted, dispassionate, and inclined towards cessation. The arising of food causes (afflictions) to arise, and because of food, this bhikkhu generates disgust, dispassion, and inclination towards cessation. When food ceases, that is true cessation, and having realized this, this bhikkhu generates disgust, dispassion, and inclination towards cessation, this is called learning.' 'Furthermore, true, Sariputta!' Sariputta said to the Buddha: 'It is true, Blessed One! Blessed One! If what a bhikkhu means by 'true' is to be disgusted, dispassionate, and ceased, no longer generating outflows, and the mind is well liberated. He arises from the arising of food, and if the true is cessation, having realized this, the bhikkhu generates disgust, dispassion, and cessation towards cessation, no longer generating outflows, and the mind is well liberated, this is the number of things.' The Buddha said to Sariputta: 'Yes, yes, as you have said. A bhikkhu generates disgust, dispassion, and cessation towards the true, this is called the number of things.' Having said this, the Blessed One got up and went into his room to meditate.


爾時,尊者舍利弗知世尊去已,不久,語諸比丘:「諸尊!我不能辯世尊初問,是故我默唸住。世尊須臾復為作發喜問,我即開解如此之義,正使世尊一日一夜,乃至七夜,異句異味問斯義者,我亦悉能,乃至七夜,以異句異味而解說之。」

時,有異比丘往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!尊者舍利弗作奇特未曾有說,于大眾中,一向師子吼言:『我於世尊初問,都不能辯,乃至三問默然無答。世尊尋復作發喜問,我即開解,正使世尊一日一夜,乃至七夜,異句異味問斯義者,我亦悉能,乃至七夜,異句異味而解說之。』」

佛告比丘:「彼舍利弗比丘實能於我一日一夜,乃至異句異味,七夜所問義中悉能,乃至七夜,異句異味而解說之。所以者何?舍利弗比丘善入法界故。」

佛說此經已,彼比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三四六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有三法,世間所不愛、不念、不可意。何等為三?謂老、病、死。世間若無此三法不可愛、不可念、不可意者,如來、應、等正覺不出於世間,世間亦不知有如來、應、等正覺知見,說正法、律

現代漢語譯本: 那時,尊者舍利弗知道世尊離開后不久,就對眾比丘說:『諸位尊者!我不能回答世尊最初的提問,所以我就默然不語。世尊過了一會兒又提出一個引發喜悅的提問,我立刻就理解了其中的含義。即使世尊用不同的語句和不同的角度,連續問我這個含義一天一夜,甚至七天七夜,我也完全能夠用不同的語句和不同的角度,連續解釋七天七夜。』 當時,有一位比丘去到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足后,退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!尊者舍利弗說了奇特而前所未有的話,在大眾中,像獅子吼一樣地說:『我對於世尊最初的提問,完全不能回答,甚至三次提問都默然無語。世尊隨即又提出一個引發喜悅的提問,我立刻就理解了,即使世尊用不同的語句和不同的角度,連續問我這個含義一天一夜,甚至七天七夜,我也完全能夠用不同的語句和不同的角度,連續解釋七天七夜。』 佛陀告訴比丘:『那位舍利弗比丘確實能夠理解我用不同的語句和不同的角度,連續問他一天一夜,甚至七天七夜所問的含義,並且能夠用不同的語句和不同的角度,連續解釋七天七夜。這是因為舍利弗比丘已經很好地深入了法界的緣故。』 佛陀說完這部經后,那位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地接受並奉行。 (三四六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有三種法,是世間所不喜愛、不思念、不稱心的。哪三種呢?就是衰老、疾病、死亡。如果世間沒有這三種不喜愛、不思念、不稱心的法,如來、應供、等正覺就不會出現於世間,世間也不會知道有如來、應供、等正覺的知見,以及宣說正法和戒律。』

English version: At that time, the Venerable Sariputra, knowing that the World Honored One had left not long ago, said to the monks, 'Venerable ones! I could not answer the World Honored One's initial question, so I remained silent. The World Honored One then asked a question that evoked joy, and I immediately understood its meaning. Even if the World Honored One were to ask me about this meaning with different phrases and different perspectives for one day and one night, or even for seven days and seven nights, I would be able to explain it with different phrases and different perspectives for seven days and seven nights.' Then, a certain monk went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and stood to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! The Venerable Sariputra has made a remarkable and unprecedented statement, roaring like a lion in the assembly, saying: 'I could not answer the World Honored One's initial question at all, and remained silent even after three questions. The World Honored One then asked a question that evoked joy, and I immediately understood it. Even if the World Honored One were to ask me about this meaning with different phrases and different perspectives for one day and one night, or even for seven days and seven nights, I would be able to explain it with different phrases and different perspectives for seven days and seven nights.' The Buddha said to the monk, 'That monk Sariputra is indeed capable of understanding the meaning of what I ask with different phrases and different perspectives for one day and one night, or even for seven days and seven nights, and is able to explain it with different phrases and different perspectives for seven days and seven nights. This is because the monk Sariputra has well entered the realm of Dharma.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, that monk, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. (346) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World Honored One said to the monks, 'There are three things that are unloved, uncherished, and undesirable in the world. What are the three? They are old age, sickness, and death. If these three unloved, uncherished, and undesirable things did not exist in the world, the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One would not appear in the world, and the world would not know of the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One's knowledge and vision, and the teaching of the true Dharma and the Vinaya.'


。以世間有老、病、死三法不可愛、不可念、不可意故,是故如來、應、等正覺出於世間,世間知有如來、應、等正覺所知、所見,說正法、律。

「以三法不斷故,不堪能離老、病、死。何等為三?謂貪、恚、癡,復有三法不斷故,不堪能離貪、恚、癡。何等為三?謂身見、戒取、疑,復有三法不斷故,不堪能離身見、戒取、疑。何等為三?謂不正思惟、習近邪道,及懈怠心,復有三法不斷故,不堪能離不正思惟、習近邪道及懈怠心。何等為三?謂失念、不正知、亂心,復有三法不斷故,不堪能離失念、不正知、亂心。何等為三?謂掉、不律儀、不學戒,復有三法不斷故,不堪能離掉、不律儀、不學戒。何等為三?謂不信、難教、懈怠,復有三法不斷故,不堪能離不信、難教、懶墮。何等為三?謂不欲見聖、不欲聞法、常求人短,復有三法不斷故,不堪能離不欲見聖、不欲聞法、常求人短。何等為三?謂不恭敬、戾語、習惡知識,復有三法不斷故,不堪能離不恭敬、戾語、習惡知識。何等為三?謂無慚、無愧、放逸,此三法不斷故,不堪能離不恭敬、戾語、習惡知識

現代漢語譯本:因為世間存在衰老、疾病、死亡這三種不可愛、不可念、不可意的事物,所以如來、應供、正等覺才會出現於世間,讓世間知道有如來、應供、正等覺所知、所見,並宣說正法和戒律。 因為有三種法沒有斷除,所以不能夠脫離衰老、疾病、死亡。這三種法是什麼呢?就是貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡。又有三種法沒有斷除,所以不能夠脫離貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡。這三種法是什麼呢?就是身見、戒禁取見、懷疑。又有三種法沒有斷除,所以不能夠脫離身見、戒禁取見、懷疑。這三種法是什麼呢?就是不正思惟、親近邪道、以及懈怠的心。又有三種法沒有斷除,所以不能夠脫離不正思惟、親近邪道以及懈怠的心。這三種法是什麼呢?就是失念、不正知、散亂的心。又有三種法沒有斷除,所以不能夠脫離失念、不正知、散亂的心。這三種法是什麼呢?就是掉舉、不守戒律、不學習戒律。又有三種法沒有斷除,所以不能夠脫離掉舉、不守戒律、不學習戒律。這三種法是什麼呢?就是不信、難以教導、懈怠。又有三種法沒有斷除,所以不能夠脫離不信、難以教導、懶惰。這三種法是什麼呢?就是不願意見聖者、不願聽聞佛法、常常尋求別人的缺點。又有三種法沒有斷除,所以不能夠脫離不願意見聖者、不願聽聞佛法、常常尋求別人的缺點。這三種法是什麼呢?就是不恭敬、言語乖戾、親近惡知識。又有三種法沒有斷除,所以不能夠脫離不恭敬、言語乖戾、親近惡知識。這三種法是什麼呢?就是無慚、無愧、放逸。因為這三種法沒有斷除,所以不能夠脫離不恭敬、言語乖戾、親近惡知識。

English version: Because in the world there are three things—old age, sickness, and death—that are unlovely, uncherished, and undesirable, therefore the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One appears in the world, so that the world may know that there is a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Fully Enlightened One who knows and sees, and who teaches the true Dharma and the Vinaya. Because three things are not abandoned, one is incapable of being free from old age, sickness, and death. What are these three? They are greed, hatred, and delusion. Again, because three things are not abandoned, one is incapable of being free from greed, hatred, and delusion. What are these three? They are self-view, clinging to rites and rituals, and doubt. Again, because three things are not abandoned, one is incapable of being free from self-view, clinging to rites and rituals, and doubt. What are these three? They are wrong thinking, associating with wrong paths, and a lazy mind. Again, because three things are not abandoned, one is incapable of being free from wrong thinking, associating with wrong paths, and a lazy mind. What are these three? They are forgetfulness, lack of clear comprehension, and a distracted mind. Again, because three things are not abandoned, one is incapable of being free from forgetfulness, lack of clear comprehension, and a distracted mind. What are these three? They are restlessness, lack of restraint, and not learning the precepts. Again, because three things are not abandoned, one is incapable of being free from restlessness, lack of restraint, and not learning the precepts. What are these three? They are lack of faith, being difficult to teach, and laziness. Again, because three things are not abandoned, one is incapable of being free from lack of faith, being difficult to teach, and laziness. What are these three? They are not wanting to see the noble ones, not wanting to hear the Dharma, and always seeking the faults of others. Again, because three things are not abandoned, one is incapable of being free from not wanting to see the noble ones, not wanting to hear the Dharma, and always seeking the faults of others. What are these three? They are lack of respect, harsh speech, and associating with bad friends. Again, because three things are not abandoned, one is incapable of being free from lack of respect, harsh speech, and associating with bad friends. What are these three? They are shamelessness, lack of conscience, and heedlessness. Because these three things are not abandoned, one is incapable of being free from lack of respect, harsh speech, and associating with bad friends.

English version: 'What is the reason for this? Because of having no shame and no remorse, one becomes unrestrained; because of unrestraint, one becomes disrespectful; because of disrespect, one associates with bad companions; because of associating with bad companions, one does not wish to see the noble ones, does not wish to hear the Dharma, and constantly seeks the faults of others; because of seeking the faults of others, one becomes unbelieving, difficult to instruct, harsh in speech, and lazy; because of laziness, one becomes agitated, undisciplined, and does not learn the precepts; because of not learning the precepts, one loses mindfulness, lacks correct awareness, and has a confused mind; because of a confused mind, one does not think correctly, associates with wrong paths, and develops a lazy mind; because of a lazy mind, one has self-view, clinging to rites and rituals, and doubt; because of doubt, one does not detach from greed, hatred, and delusion; because of not detaching from greed, hatred, and delusion, one is incapable of being free from old age, sickness, and death.'

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三四七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。若王、大臣、婆羅門、長者、居士及余世人所共恭敬、尊重、供養,佛及諸聲聞眾大得利養,衣被、飲食、臥具、湯藥;都不恭敬、尊重、供養眾邪異道衣被、飲食、臥具、湯藥

現代漢語譯本:什麼是三種障礙?就是不願意見到聖賢、不喜歡聽聞佛法、喜歡挑剔別人的缺點。斷除這三種障礙,就能克服不信、難以教導、懶惰。再斷除三種障礙,就能克服不願意見到聖賢、不喜歡聽聞佛法、喜歡挑剔別人的缺點。什麼是三種障礙?就是不恭敬、言語粗暴、親近惡友。斷除這三種障礙,就能克服不願意見到聖賢、不喜歡聽聞佛法、喜歡挑剔別人的缺點。再斷除三種障礙,就能克服不恭敬、言語粗暴、親近惡友。什麼是三種障礙?就是無慚、無愧、放逸。 為什麼呢?因為有慚愧就不會放逸,不放逸就會恭敬順從,親近善知識。親近善知識就會樂意見到賢聖、樂意聽聞正法、不挑剔別人的缺點。不挑剔別人的缺點就會產生信心、順從教誨、精進修行。精進修行就不會散亂、安住于戒律、學習戒律。學習戒律就不會失念、正知、安住于不散亂的心。不散亂的心就會正確思考、親近正道、內心不懈怠。內心不懈怠就不會執著于身見、不會執著于戒律、能度脫疑惑。沒有疑惑就不會生起貪、嗔、癡。遠離貪、嗔、癡就能斷除衰老、疾病、死亡。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (三四七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。國王、大臣、婆羅門、長者、居士以及其他世人共同恭敬、尊重、供養佛陀和諸位聲聞弟子,他們獲得了大量的供養,包括衣服、飲食、臥具、湯藥;而對於那些不恭敬、不尊重、不供養的邪道異端,則沒有衣服、飲食、臥具、湯藥的供養。

English version: What are the three obstacles? They are the unwillingness to see the noble ones, the dislike of hearing the Dharma, and the fondness for finding fault with others. By abandoning these three, one can overcome disbelief, difficulty in being taught, and laziness. By abandoning another three, one can overcome the unwillingness to see the noble ones, the dislike of hearing the Dharma, and the fondness for finding fault with others. What are the three obstacles? They are disrespect, harsh speech, and association with bad friends. By abandoning these three, one can overcome the unwillingness to see the noble ones, the dislike of hearing the Dharma, and the fondness for finding fault with others. By abandoning another three, one can overcome disrespect, harsh speech, and association with bad friends. What are the three obstacles? They are shamelessness, lack of remorse, and negligence. Why is this so? Because with shame and remorse, one is not negligent. When not negligent, one is respectful and compliant, and associates with good teachers. By associating with good teachers, one is happy to see the noble ones, happy to hear the true Dharma, and does not find fault with others. By not finding fault with others, one generates faith, compliance, and diligence. With diligence, one is not distracted, abides by the precepts, and learns the precepts. By learning the precepts, one does not lose mindfulness, has right knowledge, and abides in an undistracted mind. With an undistracted mind, one thinks rightly, draws near to the right path, and the mind is not lazy. When the mind is not lazy, one does not cling to self-view, does not cling to precepts, and overcomes doubt. Without doubt, one does not generate greed, hatred, and delusion. By abandoning greed, hatred, and delusion, one can overcome old age, sickness, and death. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (347) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Kings, ministers, Brahmins, elders, householders, and other people in the world commonly respected, honored, and made offerings to the Buddha and the assembly of disciples, and they received abundant offerings of clothing, food, bedding, and medicine. However, they did not respect, honor, or make offerings of clothing, food, bedding, and medicine to the heterodox paths that were not respected or honored.


爾時,眾多異道聚會未曾講堂,作如是論:「我等昔來常為國王、大臣、長者、居士及餘一切之所奉事,恭敬供養衣被、飲食、臥具、湯藥,今悉斷絕,但恭敬供養沙門瞿曇、聲聞大眾衣被、飲食、臥具、湯藥。今此眾中,誰有智慧、大力,堪能密往詣彼沙門瞿曇眾中出家,聞彼法已,來還廣說,我等當複用彼聞法化諸國王、大臣、長者、居士,令其信樂,可得還復供養如前?」

時,有人言:「有一年少,名曰須深,聰明黠慧,堪能密往沙門瞿曇眾中出家,聽彼法已,來還宣說。」

時,諸外道詣須深所,而作是言:「我今日大眾聚集未曾講堂,作如是論:『我等先來為諸國王、大臣、長者、居士及諸世人之所恭敬奉事,供養衣被、飲食、臥具、湯藥,今悉斷絕,國王、大臣、長者、居士及諸世間悉共奉事沙門瞿曇、聲聞大眾。我此眾中,誰有聰明黠慧,堪能密往沙門瞿曇眾中出家學道,聞彼法已,來還宣說,化諸國王、大臣、長者、居士、令我此眾還得恭敬、尊重、供養?』其中有言:『唯有須深聰明黠慧,堪能密往瞿曇法中出家學道,聞彼說法,悉能受持,來還宣說。』是故我等故來相請,仁者當行。」

時,彼須深默然受請,詣王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本:當時,許多外道聚集在未曾講堂,議論說:『我們過去一直受到國王、大臣、長者、居士以及其他所有人的侍奉,恭敬供養衣物、飲食、臥具、湯藥,現在這些都斷絕了,他們只恭敬供養沙門瞿曇和他的聲聞弟子們的衣物、飲食、臥具、湯藥。現在我們這些人中,誰有智慧和力量,能夠秘密前往沙門瞿曇的僧團中出家,聽聞他們的教法后,回來廣泛宣說,我們就可以用聽到的教法來感化那些國王、大臣、長者、居士,讓他們信服,從而可以恢復像以前一樣的供養?』 當時,有人說:『有一個年輕人,名叫須深,聰明機敏,能夠秘密前往沙門瞿曇的僧團中出家,聽聞他們的教法后,回來宣說。』 當時,那些外道來到須深那裡,對他說:『我們今天大家聚集在未曾講堂,議論說:『我們以前一直受到國王、大臣、長者、居士以及世人的恭敬侍奉,供養衣物、飲食、臥具、湯藥,現在這些都斷絕了,國王、大臣、長者、居士以及世間的人都一起侍奉沙門瞿曇和他的聲聞弟子們。我們這些人中,誰有聰明機敏,能夠秘密前往沙門瞿曇的僧團中出家學道,聽聞他們的教法后,回來宣說,感化那些國王、大臣、長者、居士,使我們這些人能夠重新得到恭敬、尊重和供養?』其中有人說:『只有須深聰明機敏,能夠秘密前往瞿曇的教法中出家學道,聽聞他們的說法,都能夠接受並記住,回來宣說。』所以我們特地來邀請你,你應當去。』 當時,須深默然接受了邀請,前往王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

English version: At that time, many non-Buddhist ascetics gathered in the Unpreached Hall and discussed, saying, 'We used to be served by kings, ministers, elders, householders, and all others, who respectfully provided us with clothing, food, bedding, and medicine. Now, all of that has ceased. They only respectfully provide clothing, food, bedding, and medicine to the ascetic Gautama and his monastic disciples. Now, among us, who has the wisdom and strength to secretly go and become a monk in the community of the ascetic Gautama, listen to their teachings, and then return to widely proclaim them? We could then use the teachings we have heard to convert those kings, ministers, elders, and householders, making them believe, and thus we could restore the offerings as before?' At that time, someone said, 'There is a young man named Sushin, who is intelligent and clever. He is capable of secretly going to the community of the ascetic Gautama to become a monk, listen to their teachings, and then return to proclaim them.' At that time, those non-Buddhists went to Sushin and said to him, 'Today, we have gathered in the Unpreached Hall and discussed, saying, 'We used to be respectfully served by kings, ministers, elders, householders, and all people, who provided us with clothing, food, bedding, and medicine. Now, all of that has ceased. Kings, ministers, elders, householders, and all people now serve the ascetic Gautama and his monastic disciples. Among us, who is intelligent and clever enough to secretly go to the community of the ascetic Gautama to become a monk, learn their teachings, and then return to proclaim them, converting those kings, ministers, elders, and householders, so that we can once again receive respect, honor, and offerings?' Among them, someone said, 'Only Sushin is intelligent and clever enough to secretly go to the teachings of Gautama to become a monk, listen to their teachings, accept and remember them all, and then return to proclaim them.' Therefore, we have come to invite you, and you should go.' At that time, Sushin silently accepted the invitation and went to the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.


時,眾多比丘出房舍外露地經行。爾時,須深詣眾多比丘,而作是言:「諸尊!我今可得於正法中出家受具足,修梵行不?」

時,眾多比丘將彼須深詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!今此外道須深欲求于正法中出家受具足,修梵行。」

爾時,世尊知外道須深心之所念,告諸比丘:「汝等當度彼外道須深,令得出家。」時,諸比丘愿度須深。

出家已經半月,有一比丘語須深言:「須深當知,我等生死已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有

當時,許多比丘在房舍外面的空地上經行。這時,須深走到眾多比丘那裡,說道:『諸位尊者!我現在可以在正法中出家受具足戒,修習梵行嗎?』 當時,許多比丘將須深帶到世尊那裡,向佛稽首禮足,然後退到一旁,對佛說:『世尊!現在這位外道須深想要在正法中出家受具足戒,修習梵行。』 這時,世尊知道外道須深心中的想法,告訴眾比丘:『你們應當度化這位外道須深,讓他出家。』當時,眾比丘願意度化須深。 出家已經半個月后,有一位比丘對須深說:『須深應當知道,我們已經斷盡生死,建立了梵行,該做的都已做完,自己知道不再有後世的生命。』

At that time, many monks were walking back and forth in the open space outside their dwellings. Then, Sudinna approached the many monks and said, 'Venerable ones! May I now be ordained and receive full ordination in the true Dharma, and practice the holy life?' Then, the many monks brought Sudinna to the World Honored One, bowed their heads to his feet, retreated to one side, and said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! This non-Buddhist Sudinna now wishes to be ordained and receive full ordination in the true Dharma, and practice the holy life.' At that time, the World Honored One, knowing the thoughts in the mind of the non-Buddhist Sudinna, told the monks, 'You should ordain this non-Buddhist Sudinna, and let him leave home.' At that time, the monks were willing to ordain Sudinna. After half a month of being ordained, a monk said to Sudinna, 'Sudinna, you should know that we have exhausted birth and death, established the holy life, done what needed to be done, and know for ourselves that we will not have another life.'


。」

時,彼須深語比丘言:「尊者!云何?學離欲、惡不善法,有覺有觀,離生喜樂,具足初禪,不起諸漏,心善解脫耶?」

比丘答言:「不也,須深!」

復問:「云何?離有覺有觀,內凈一心,無覺無觀,定生喜樂,具足第二禪,不起諸漏,心善解脫耶?」

比丘答言:「不也,須深!」

復問:「云何?尊者離喜,舍心住正念正智,身心受樂,聖說及舍,具足第三禪,不起諸漏,心善解脫耶?」

答言:「不也,須深!」

復問:「云何?尊者離苦息樂,憂喜先斷,不苦不樂舍,凈念一心,具足第四禪,不起諸漏,心善解脫耶?」

答言:「不也,須深!」

復問:「若復寂靜解脫起色、無色,身作證具足住,不起諸漏,心善解脫耶?」

答言:「不也,須深!」

須深復問:「云何?尊者所說不同,前後相違。云何不得禪定而復記說?」

比丘答言:「我是慧解脫也。」

作是說已,眾多比丘各從座起而去。

爾時,須深知眾多比丘去已,作是思惟:「此諸尊者所說不同,前後相違,言不得正受,而復記說自知作證

現代漢語譯本 當時,須深對那位比丘說:『尊者,怎麼樣?通過學習,遠離慾望、邪惡和不善的行為,達到有覺有觀,因遠離而生喜悅和快樂,圓滿初禪,不起任何煩惱,心得到徹底解脫嗎?』 比丘回答說:『不是的,須深!』 又問:『怎麼樣?通過遠離有覺有觀,內心清凈專注,達到無覺無觀,由禪定而生喜悅和快樂,圓滿第二禪,不起任何煩惱,心得到徹底解脫嗎?』 比丘回答說:『不是的,須深!』 又問:『怎麼樣?尊者通過遠離喜悅,保持舍心,安住于正念和正知,身心感受快樂,聖人所說的那種舍,圓滿第三禪,不起任何煩惱,心得到徹底解脫嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,須深!』 又問:『怎麼樣?尊者通過遠離痛苦和快樂,先前的憂愁和喜悅都已斷除,達到不苦不樂的舍,清凈的念頭和專注,圓滿第四禪,不起任何煩惱,心得到徹底解脫嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,須深!』 又問:『如果通過寂靜的解脫,進入色界和無色界,親身體驗並圓滿安住,不起任何煩惱,心得到徹底解脫嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,須深!』 須深又問:『怎麼樣?尊者所說的不一致,前後矛盾。為什麼沒有得到禪定卻又說自己已經證悟?』 比丘回答說:『我是通過智慧解脫的。』 說完這些話后,許多比丘各自從座位上起身離開了。 這時,須深知道許多比丘已經離開后,心想:『這些尊者所說的不一致,前後矛盾,說沒有得到正受,卻又說自己已經證悟。』

English version Then, Sudinna said to that monk, 'Venerable one, how is it? By learning, having abandoned desire, evil, and unwholesome states, attaining initial meditative absorption with directed thought and evaluation, born of detachment, filled with joy and pleasure, having fully attained the first jhana, not giving rise to any defilements, is the mind well liberated?' The monk replied, 'No, Sudinna!' He asked again, 'How is it? By abandoning directed thought and evaluation, with inner clarity and unification of mind, attaining meditative absorption without directed thought or evaluation, born of concentration, filled with joy and pleasure, having fully attained the second jhana, not giving rise to any defilements, is the mind well liberated?' The monk replied, 'No, Sudinna!' He asked again, 'How is it? Venerable one, by abandoning joy, dwelling in equanimity, with mindfulness and clear comprehension, experiencing bodily pleasure, the noble one's equanimity, having fully attained the third jhana, not giving rise to any defilements, is the mind well liberated?' He replied, 'No, Sudinna!' He asked again, 'How is it? Venerable one, by abandoning pain and pleasure, with the previous cessation of sorrow and joy, attaining equanimity which is neither painful nor pleasant, with pure mindfulness and concentration, having fully attained the fourth jhana, not giving rise to any defilements, is the mind well liberated?' He replied, 'No, Sudinna!' He asked again, 'If, through peaceful liberation, entering the realms of form and formlessness, having personally experienced and fully abiding, not giving rise to any defilements, is the mind well liberated?' He replied, 'No, Sudinna!' Sudinna asked again, 'How is it? What the venerable one says is inconsistent, contradicting itself. Why is it that without attaining meditative absorption, you claim to have realized it?' The monk replied, 'I am liberated through wisdom.' Having said this, many monks rose from their seats and departed. Then, Sudinna, knowing that many monks had left, thought, 'What these venerable ones say is inconsistent, contradicting itself, saying they have not attained right concentration, yet they claim to have realized it themselves.'


。」作是思惟已,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!彼眾多比丘於我面前記說:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』我即問彼尊者:『得離欲、惡不善法,乃至身作證,不起諸漏,心善解脫耶?』彼答我言:『不也,須深!』我即問言:『所說不同,前後相違,言不入正受,而復記說,自知作證。』彼答我言:『得慧解脫。』作此說已,各從座起而去。我今問世尊:『云何彼所說不同,前後相違,不得正受,而復說言:「自知作證。」?』」

佛告須深:「彼先知法住,後知涅槃。彼諸善男子獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸法,離於我見,不起諸漏,心善解脫。」

須深白佛:「我今不知先知法住,後知涅槃。彼諸善男子獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸法,離於我見,不起諸漏,心善解脫。」

佛告須深:「不問汝知不知,且自先知法住,後知涅槃。彼諸善男子獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,離於我見,心善解脫。」

須深白佛:「唯愿世尊為我說法,令我得知法住智,得見法住智。」

佛告須深:「我今問汝,隨意答我

現代漢語譯本:須深這樣思索后,前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立,對佛陀說:『世尊!那些眾多的比丘在我面前宣稱:『我已經生死已盡,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來生。』我便問那些尊者:『你們是否已經脫離了慾望、邪惡的不善之法,乃至以身體證悟,不再生起煩惱,內心得到徹底的解脫呢?』他們回答我說:『沒有,須深!』我便問他們:『你們所說的不一致,前後矛盾,說沒有進入正定,卻又宣稱自己知道已經證悟。』他們回答我說:『得到了智慧的解脫。』說完這些話,他們就各自從座位上起身離開了。我現在請問世尊:『為什麼他們所說的不同,前後矛盾,沒有得到正定,卻又說『自己知道已經證悟』呢?』 佛陀告訴須深:『他們是先知道法的存在,然後才知道涅槃的。那些善男子獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸,遠離我見,不再生起煩惱,內心得到徹底的解脫。』 須深對佛陀說:『我現在不明白什麼是先知道法的存在,然後才知道涅槃。那些善男子獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸,遠離我見,不再生起煩惱,內心得到徹底的解脫。』 佛陀告訴須深:『不問你是否明白,你且自己先知道法的存在,然後才知道涅槃。那些善男子獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸地安住,遠離我見,內心得到徹底的解脫。』 須深對佛陀說:『我懇請世尊為我說法,讓我能夠知道法住智,能夠見到法住智。』 佛陀告訴須深:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。』

English version: Having thought thus, Sudhina went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at his feet, stepped back and stood to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, those many monks declared before me: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, I know for myself that there is no more future existence.』 Then I asked those venerable ones: 『Have you detached from desire, evil unwholesome states, even to the point of bodily realization, not arising from defilements, and your minds well liberated?』 They answered me: 『No, Sudhina!』 Then I asked them: 『What you say is inconsistent, contradictory, saying you have not entered right concentration, yet you declare that you know for yourself that you have realized it.』 They answered me: 『We have attained liberation through wisdom.』 Having said this, they each rose from their seats and left. Now I ask the Venerable Sir: 『Why is what they say inconsistent, contradictory, not having attained right concentration, yet saying 『I know for myself that I have realized it』?』 The Buddha said to Sudhina: 『They first know the abiding of the Dharma, then they know Nirvana. Those good men, alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, not being negligent, detached from the view of self, not arising from defilements, and their minds are well liberated.』 Sudhina said to the Buddha: 『Now I do not understand what it means to first know the abiding of the Dharma, then to know Nirvana. Those good men, alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, not being negligent, detached from the view of self, not arising from defilements, and their minds are well liberated.』 The Buddha said to Sudhina: 『It is not a question of whether you understand or not, but you yourself should first know the abiding of the Dharma, then know Nirvana. Those good men, alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, abiding without negligence, detached from the view of self, and their minds are well liberated.』 Sudhina said to the Buddha: 『I beseech the Venerable Sir to teach me the Dharma, so that I may know the wisdom of the abiding of the Dharma, and see the wisdom of the abiding of the Dharma.』 The Buddha said to Sudhina: 『Now I will ask you, answer me as you please.』


。須深!于意云何?有生故有老死,不離生有老死耶?」

須深答曰:「如是,世尊!」

「有生故有老死,不離生有老死。如是生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行、無明,有無明故有行,不離無明而有行耶?」

須深白佛:「如是,世尊!有無明故有行,不離無明而有行。」

佛告須深:「無生故無老死,不離生滅而老死滅耶?」

須深白佛言:「如是,世尊!無生故無老死,不離生滅而老死滅。」

「如是,乃至無無明故無行,不離無明滅而行滅耶?」

須深白佛:「如是,世尊!無無明故無行,不離無明滅而行滅。」

佛告須深:「作如是知、如是見者,為有離欲、惡不善法,乃至身作證具足住不?」

須深白佛:「不也,世尊!」

佛告須深:「是名先知法住,後知涅槃。彼諸善男子獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,離於我見,不起諸漏,心善解脫。」

佛說此經已,尊者須深遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。

爾時,須深見法得法,覺法度疑,不由他信,不由他度,于正法中心得無畏,稽首佛足,白佛言:「世尊!我今悔過,我于正法中盜密出家,是故悔過

須深啊!你認為如何?因為有生,所以有老死,老死不離生而存在嗎?' 須深回答說:'是的,世尊!' '因為有生,所以有老死,老死不離生而存在。同樣,生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行、無明,因為有無明,所以有行,行不離無明而存在嗎?' 須深對佛說:'是的,世尊!因為有無明,所以有行,行不離無明而存在。' 佛告訴須深:'因為沒有生,所以沒有老死,老死的滅亡不離生的滅亡而存在嗎?' 須深對佛說:'是的,世尊!因為沒有生,所以沒有老死,老死的滅亡不離生的滅亡而存在。' '同樣,乃至沒有無明,所以沒有行,行的滅亡不離無明的滅亡而存在嗎?' 須深對佛說:'是的,世尊!因為沒有無明,所以沒有行,行的滅亡不離無明的滅亡而存在。' 佛告訴須深:'像這樣知道、像這樣看見的人,能夠遠離慾望、惡和不善法,乃至以身體證悟並安住嗎?' 須深對佛說:'不能,世尊!' 佛告訴須深:'這叫做先知法住,後知涅槃。那些善男子獨自在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸地安住,遠離我見,不起各種煩惱,心得到徹底的解脫。' 佛說完這部經后,尊者須深遠離塵垢,得到法眼清凈。 當時,須深見到法,得到法,覺悟法,消除疑惑,不依賴他人的信仰,不依賴他人的引導,在正法中心中得到無畏,向佛陀的腳稽首,對佛說:'世尊!我現在懺悔,我曾經在正法中秘密出家,因此我懺悔。'

'Susima, what do you think? Because there is birth, there is old age and death; is old age and death not apart from birth?' Susima replied, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' 'Because there is birth, there is old age and death; old age and death are not apart from birth. Likewise, birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, the six sense bases, name and form, consciousness, volitional formations, and ignorance; because there is ignorance, there are volitional formations; are volitional formations not apart from ignorance?' Susima said to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir! Because there is ignorance, there are volitional formations; volitional formations are not apart from ignorance.' The Buddha said to Susima, 'Because there is no birth, there is no old age and death; is the cessation of old age and death not apart from the cessation of birth?' Susima said to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir! Because there is no birth, there is no old age and death; the cessation of old age and death is not apart from the cessation of birth.' 'Likewise, even because there is no ignorance, there are no volitional formations; is the cessation of volitional formations not apart from the cessation of ignorance?' Susima said to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir! Because there is no ignorance, there are no volitional formations; the cessation of volitional formations is not apart from the cessation of ignorance.' The Buddha said to Susima, 'One who knows and sees in this way, is he able to be detached from desire, evil, and unwholesome states, and even to abide having realized it with his own body?' Susima said to the Buddha, 'No, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to Susima, 'This is called first knowing the abiding of the Dharma, and then knowing Nirvana. Those good men, in a solitary and quiet place, with focused and diligent contemplation, abide without negligence, free from the view of self, not giving rise to defilements, and their minds are well liberated.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the Venerable Susima was freed from dust and defilement, and obtained the pure eye of the Dharma. Then, Susima, having seen the Dharma, attained the Dharma, realized the Dharma, dispelled doubt, not relying on the faith of others, not relying on the guidance of others, obtained fearlessness in his heart regarding the true Dharma, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir! I now repent, I secretly left home in the true Dharma, therefore I repent.'


。」

佛告須深:「云何于正法中盜密出家?」

須深白佛言:「世尊!有眾多外道來詣我所,語我言:『須深當知,我等先為國王、大臣、長者、居士及余世人恭敬供養,而今斷絕,悉共供養沙門瞿曇、聲聞大眾。汝今密往沙門瞿曇、聲聞眾中出家受法,得彼法已,還來宣說我等,當以彼聞法教化世間,令彼恭敬供養如初。』是故,世尊!我于正法、律中盜密出家,今日悔過,唯愿世尊聽我悔過,以哀愍故。」

佛告須深:「受汝悔過,汝當具說:『我昔愚癡、不善、無智,于正法、律盜密出家,今日悔過,自見罪、自知罪,于當來世律儀成就,功德增長,終不退減。』所以者何?凡人有罪,自見、自知而悔過者,于當來世律儀成就,功德增長,終不退減。」

佛告須深:「今當說譬,其智慧者,以譬得解。譬如國王有防邏者,捉捕盜賊,縛送王所,白言:『大王!此人劫盜,愿王處罪。』王言:『將罪人去,反縛兩手,惡聲宣令,周遍國中,然後將出城外刑罪人處,遍身四體,劖以百矛。』彼典刑者受王教令,送彼罪人,反縛兩手,惡聲宣唱,周遍城邑,將出城外刑罪人處,遍身四體,劖以百矛。日中,王問:『罪人活耶?』臣白言:『活。』王復敕臣:『復劖百矛

現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴須深:『如何才能在正法中秘密出家呢?』 須深稟告佛陀說:『世尊!有許多外道來到我這裡,對我說:』須深,你應該知道,我們以前受到國王、大臣、長者、居士和其他世人的恭敬供養,現在這些都斷絕了,他們都一起供養沙門瞿曇和他的聲聞弟子們。你現在秘密地去沙門瞿曇和他的聲聞弟子中出家受法,得到他們的法之後,回來告訴我們,我們將用你聽到的法來教化世間,讓他們像以前一樣恭敬供養我們。』因此,世尊!我才在正法和戒律中秘密出家,今天我悔過,只希望世尊能允許我悔過,因為您慈悲憐憫。』 佛陀告訴須深:『我接受你的悔過,你應該詳細地說:』我過去愚癡、不善、沒有智慧,在正法和戒律中秘密出家,今天我悔過,我認識到自己的罪過,也知道自己的罪過,在未來世,我將成就戒律,增長功德,永遠不會退減。』為什麼呢?凡人有罪,自己認識到,自己知道並悔過的人,在未來世,他的戒律會成就,功德會增長,永遠不會退減。』 佛陀告訴須深:『現在我將說一個比喻,有智慧的人,可以通過比喻來理解。譬如一個國王有負責巡邏的人,他們捉住盜賊,捆綁起來送到國王那裡,稟告說:』大王!這個人搶劫盜竊,希望大王處罰他。』國王說:』把罪人帶下去,反綁他的雙手,大聲宣告,讓全國都知道,然後把他帶到城外刑場,用一百支矛刺遍他的全身。』那些執行刑罰的人接受國王的命令,把罪人帶走,反綁他的雙手,大聲宣告,讓全城都知道,然後把他帶到城外刑場,用一百支矛刺遍他的全身。中午,國王問:』罪人還活著嗎?』臣子稟告說:』還活著。』國王又命令臣子:』再用一百支矛刺他。』

English version: The Buddha said to Sushena, 'How can one secretly leave home within the Right Dharma?' Sushena replied to the Buddha, 'Venerable One! Many non-Buddhists came to me and said, 'Sushena, you should know that we used to be respected and supported by kings, ministers, elders, householders, and other people in the world. But now that has stopped, and they all together support the Shramana Gautama and his assembly of disciples. You should now secretly go and leave home among the Shramana Gautama and his assembly of disciples, receive their teachings, and then come back and tell us. We will use the teachings you have heard to educate the world, so that they will respect and support us as before.' Therefore, Venerable One! I secretly left home within the Right Dharma and the Vinaya. Today I repent, and I only hope that the Venerable One will allow me to repent, out of your compassion.' The Buddha said to Sushena, 'I accept your repentance. You should say in detail, 'In the past, I was foolish, unskilled, and without wisdom. I secretly left home within the Right Dharma and the Vinaya. Today I repent. I recognize my own faults, and I know my own faults. In the future, I will achieve the precepts, increase my merits, and never regress.' Why is this so? When a person has faults, recognizes them, knows them, and repents, in the future, their precepts will be achieved, their merits will increase, and they will never regress.' The Buddha said to Sushena, 'Now I will give an analogy. Those with wisdom can understand through analogies. For example, a king has guards who patrol. They capture a thief, bind him, and send him to the king, reporting, 'Great King! This person has robbed and stolen. We hope that the Great King will punish him.' The king says, 'Take the criminal away, bind his hands behind his back, announce loudly so that the whole country knows, and then take him to the execution ground outside the city and pierce his whole body with a hundred spears.' Those who carry out the punishment receive the king's order, take the criminal away, bind his hands behind his back, announce loudly so that the whole city knows, and then take him to the execution ground outside the city and pierce his whole body with a hundred spears. At noon, the king asks, 'Is the criminal still alive?' The minister reports, 'He is still alive.' The king then orders the minister, 'Pierce him with another hundred spears.'


。』至日晡時,復劖百矛,彼猶不死。」

佛告須深:「彼王治罪,劖以三百矛,彼罪人身寧有完處如手掌不?」

須深白佛:「無也,世尊!」

復問須深:「時彼罪人,劖以三百矛因緣,受苦極苦劇不?」

須深白佛:「極苦。世尊!若劖以一矛,苦痛難堪,況三百矛,當可堪忍?」

佛告須深:「此尚可耳,若於正法、律盜密出家,盜受持法,為人宣說,當受苦痛倍過於彼。」

佛說是法時,外道須深漏盡意解,佛說此經已,尊者須深聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三四八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「如來成就十種力,得四無畏,知先佛住處,能轉梵輪,于大眾中震師子吼言:『此有故彼有,此起故彼起,謂緣無明行……』」廣說乃至「『純大苦聚集,純大苦聚滅。』諸比丘!此是真實教法顯現,斷生死流,乃至其人悉善顯現。如是真實教法顯現,斷生死流,足令善男子正信、出家,方便修習,不放逸住,于正法、律精勤苦行,皮筋骨立,血肉枯竭;若其未得所當得者,不捨慇勤精進,方便堅固堪能

『到了下午,又用一百支矛刺他,他仍然不死。』 佛陀告訴須深:『那個國王治罪,用三百支矛刺他,那個罪人的身上難道還有像手掌一樣完整的地方嗎?』 須深回答佛陀:『沒有的,世尊!』 佛陀又問須深:『當時那個罪人,因為被三百支矛刺,所受的痛苦是不是非常劇烈?』 須深回答佛陀:『非常劇烈。世尊!如果被一支矛刺,痛苦都難以忍受,何況是三百支矛,怎麼能夠忍受呢?』 佛陀告訴須深:『這還算可以忍受的,如果有人在正法、律中偷偷出家,盜取受持的法,為人宣說,所受的痛苦要比這加倍。』 佛陀說這個法的時候,外道須深漏盡意解,佛陀說完這部經后,尊者須深聽了佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (三四八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如來成就十種力量,得到四種無畏,知道過去佛所住的地方,能夠轉動梵輪,在大眾中發出獅子吼說:「因為有這個,所以有那個;因為這個生起,所以那個生起,也就是緣于無明而有行……」』一直到『純粹的大苦聚集,純粹的大苦聚滅。』各位比丘!這是真實教法的顯現,斷絕生死流轉,乃至這個人都能完全顯現。像這樣真實教法的顯現,斷絕生死流轉,足以讓善男子正信、出家,方便修習,不放逸地住,在正法、律中精勤苦行,以至於皮包骨頭,血肉枯竭;如果還沒有得到應該得到的,也不放棄慇勤精進,方便堅固堪能。

'By the time of the afternoon, they pierced him again with a hundred spears, yet he still did not die.' The Buddha said to Susima, 'That king, in administering punishment, pierced him with three hundred spears. Is there any place on that criminal's body as intact as the palm of a hand?' Susima replied to the Buddha, 'No, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha further asked Susima, 'At that time, that criminal, because of being pierced by three hundred spears, did he experience extremely intense suffering?' Susima replied to the Buddha, 'Extremely intense. Venerable Sir! If pierced by just one spear, the pain would be unbearable, how much more so with three hundred spears, how could it be endured?' The Buddha said to Susima, 'This is still bearable. If someone secretly ordains in the Dharma and Vinaya, steals the Dharma they have received, and proclaims it to others, the suffering they will endure will be doubled.' When the Buddha spoke this Dharma, the outsider Susima attained the exhaustion of outflows and understanding. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Venerable Susima, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (348) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the bhikkhus, 'The Tathagata has attained ten powers, obtained four kinds of fearlessness, knows the dwelling places of past Buddhas, is able to turn the Wheel of Dharma, and roars the lion's roar in the assembly, saying: 「Because this exists, that exists; because this arises, that arises, namely, conditioned by ignorance are volitional formations…」』 extending to 『pure mass of suffering arises, pure mass of suffering ceases.』 Bhikkhus! This is the manifestation of the true Dharma, cutting off the stream of birth and death, even to the point that the person is fully manifested. Such a manifestation of the true Dharma, cutting off the stream of birth and death, is sufficient for a good man to have right faith, go forth, practice diligently, dwell without negligence, and diligently practice austerities in the Dharma and Vinaya, to the point that their skin, sinews, and bones remain, and their flesh and blood wither away; if they have not yet attained what they should attain, they do not abandon diligent effort, and are capable of firm and steadfast practice.


。所以者何?懈怠苦住,能生種種惡不善法,當來有結,熾然增長,于未來世生、老、病、死,退其大義故。精進樂獨住者,不生種種惡不善法,當來有結,熾然苦報,不于未來世增長生、老、病、死,大義滿足,得成第一教法之場。所謂大師面前,親承說法,寂滅涅槃,菩提正向,善逝、正覺。是故,比丘!當觀自利、利他、自他俱利,精勤修學,我今出家,不愚不惑,有果有樂,諸所供養衣服、飲食、臥具、湯藥者,悉得大果、大福、大利,當如是學。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三四九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「善來比丘!善出家、善得己利,曠世時時得生聖處,諸根具足,不愚不癡,不須手語,好說、惡說堪能解義。我今於此世作佛——如來、應、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊,說法寂滅、涅槃、菩提正向、善逝、等正覺。所謂此有故彼有,此起故彼起,謂緣無明行,緣行識,乃至純大苦聚集,無明滅則行滅,乃至純大苦聚滅。

「諸比丘!難得之處已得,生於聖處,諸根具足,乃至純大苦聚集,純大苦滅。是故,比丘!當如是學,自利、利他、自他俱利

現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?因為懈怠懶惰會產生各種惡和不善的法,導致未來的束縛,使痛苦像火焰一樣增長,在未來世中經歷生、老、病、死,從而喪失了偉大的意義。而精進並樂於獨處的人,不會產生各種惡和不善的法,未來的束縛和痛苦的報應也不會增長,在未來世中不會增長生、老、病、死,從而圓滿偉大的意義,成就第一教法的場所。這就是在大師面前,親自接受教誨,達到寂滅涅槃,走向菩提正道,成為善逝、正覺。因此,比丘們!應當觀察自利、利他、自他俱利,精勤修學。我如今出家,不是愚昧無知,而是有果報和快樂的。所有供養的衣服、飲食、臥具、湯藥,都能獲得巨大的果報、巨大的福德、巨大的利益,應當這樣學習。」

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

(三四九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:「善來比丘!善於出家,善於獲得自己的利益。在漫長的時間裡,時常能夠出生在聖地,諸根完好,不愚昧不癡呆,不需要手語,能夠理解好的說法和不好的說法。我如今在這個世間成佛——如來、應供、正等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊,宣說寂滅、涅槃、菩提正道、善逝、正等正覺。所謂『此有故彼有,此起故彼起』,即緣于無明而有行,緣於行而有識,乃至純粹的大苦聚集;無明滅則行滅,乃至純粹的大苦聚集滅。

「諸比丘!難得的境地已經得到,出生在聖地,諸根完好,乃至純粹的大苦聚集,純粹的大苦滅。因此,比丘們!應當這樣學習,自利、利他、自他俱利。 現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?因為懈怠懶惰會產生各種惡和不善的法,導致未來的束縛,使痛苦像火焰一樣增長,在未來世中經歷生、老、病、死,從而喪失了偉大的意義。而精進並樂於獨處的人,不會產生各種惡和不善的法,未來的束縛和痛苦的報應也不會增長,在未來世中不會增長生、老、病、死,從而圓滿偉大的意義,成就第一教法的場所。這就是在大師面前,親自接受教誨,達到寂滅涅槃,走向菩提正道,成為善逝、正覺。因此,比丘們!應當觀察自利、利他、自他俱利,精勤修學。我如今出家,不是愚昧無知,而是有果報和快樂的。所有供養的衣服、飲食、臥具、湯藥,都能獲得巨大的果報、巨大的福德、巨大的利益,應當這樣學習。」

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『善來比丘!善於出家,善於獲得自己的利益。在漫長的時間裡,時常能夠出生在聖地,諸根完好,不愚昧不癡呆,不需要手語,能夠理解好的說法和不好的說法。我如今在這個世間成佛——如來、應供、正等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊,宣說寂滅、涅槃、菩提正道、善逝、正等正覺。所謂『此有故彼有,此起故彼起』,即緣于無明而有行,緣於行而有識,乃至純粹的大苦聚集;無明滅則行滅,乃至純粹的大苦聚集滅。

『諸比丘!難得的境地已經得到,出生在聖地,諸根完好,乃至純粹的大苦聚集,純粹的大苦滅。因此,比丘們!應當這樣學習,自利、利他、自他俱利。』

English version: What is the reason for this? Because laziness and negligence give rise to various evil and unwholesome dharmas, leading to future bondage, causing suffering to increase like a flame, experiencing birth, old age, sickness, and death in future lives, thus losing the great meaning. However, those who are diligent and enjoy solitude do not give rise to various evil and unwholesome dharmas, the future bondage and suffering will not increase, and in future lives, birth, old age, sickness, and death will not increase, thus fulfilling the great meaning and achieving the place of the first teaching. This is to personally receive teachings in front of the master, attain the extinction of Nirvana, walk the path of Bodhi, and become a Sugata, a Samyak-sambuddha. Therefore, bhikkhus! You should observe self-benefit, benefit to others, and benefit to both self and others, and diligently practice. I have now left home, not out of ignorance, but with results and happiness. All offerings of clothing, food, bedding, and medicine will receive great results, great merit, and great benefits, and you should learn in this way.』

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.

(349)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.

At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus, 『Welcome, bhikkhus! You have left home well, and have obtained your own benefit well. In the long course of time, you are often able to be born in a sacred place, with all your faculties intact, not ignorant or foolish, not needing sign language, and able to understand good and bad teachings. I have now become a Buddha in this world—a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Samyak-sambuddha, perfect in knowledge and conduct, a Sugata, a knower of the world, an unsurpassed one, a tamer of men, a teacher of gods and humans, a Buddha, a World Honored One, proclaiming extinction, Nirvana, the path of Bodhi, Sugata, and Samyak-sambuddha. That is, 『because this exists, that exists; because this arises, that arises,』 that is, conditioned by ignorance, there is action; conditioned by action, there is consciousness, and so on, until the accumulation of pure great suffering; when ignorance ceases, action ceases, and so on, until the cessation of the accumulation of pure great suffering.

『Bhikkhus! The difficult place to obtain has been obtained, born in a sacred place, with all faculties intact, up to the accumulation of pure great suffering, and the cessation of pure great suffering. Therefore, bhikkhus! You should learn in this way, for self-benefit, benefit to others, and benefit to both self and others.』 English version: What is the reason for this?

。如是出家,不愚不癡,有果有樂,有樂果報,供養衣服、飲食、臥具、湯藥者,悉得大果、大福、大利。是故,比丘!當如是學。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三五〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「多聞聖弟子不作是念:『何所有故此有?何所起故此起?何所無故此無?何所滅故此滅?』然彼多聞聖弟子知所謂此有故彼有,此起故彼起,謂緣無明行,乃至純大苦聚集,無明滅故行滅,乃至純大苦聚滅。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三五一)

如是我聞:

一時,尊者那羅、尊者茂師羅、尊者殊勝、尊者阿難住舍衛國象耳池側。

爾時,尊者那羅語尊者茂師羅言:「有異信、異欲、異聞、異行覺想、異見審諦忍,有如是正自覺知見生,所謂生故有老死,不離生有老死耶?」尊者茂師羅言:「有異信、異欲、異聞、異行覺想、異見審諦忍,有如是正自覺知見生,所謂有生故有老死,不異生有老死。如是說有

現代漢語譯本:如果有人出家,既不愚昧也不癡呆,修行有果報有快樂,有快樂的果報,供養他們衣服、飲食、臥具、湯藥的人,都會得到巨大的果報、巨大的福德、巨大的利益。因此,比丘們!應當這樣學習。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (三五〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『多聞的聖弟子不會這樣想:『因為什麼存在所以這個存在?因為什麼生起所以這個生起?因為什麼不存在所以這個不存在?因為什麼滅盡所以這個滅盡?』然而,多聞的聖弟子知道所謂『因為這個存在所以那個存在,因為這個生起所以那個生起』,即是說,以無明為緣而有行,乃至純粹的大苦聚集;無明滅盡則行滅盡,乃至純粹的大苦聚滅盡。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (三五一) 如是我聞: 一時,尊者那羅、尊者茂師羅、尊者殊勝、尊者阿難住在舍衛國象耳池邊。 當時,尊者那羅對尊者茂師羅說:『如果有人有不同的信仰、不同的慾望、不同的聽聞、不同的行為覺想、不同的見解和審諦忍,他是否會產生這樣的正確自覺知見:所謂因為有生所以有老死,老死不離生而存在呢?』尊者茂師羅說:『如果有人有不同的信仰、不同的慾望、不同的聽聞、不同的行為覺想、不同的見解和審諦忍,他會產生這樣的正確自覺知見:所謂因為有生所以有老死,老死不離生而存在。這樣說是有道理的。』

English version: If one goes forth, neither foolish nor dull, there are fruits and joys, and the results of joy. Those who offer robes, food, bedding, and medicine will all receive great fruits, great blessings, and great benefits. Therefore, bhikkhus! You should learn in this way. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (350) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, the Blessed One said to the bhikkhus: 'A well-learned noble disciple does not think: 'What exists because of what? What arises because of what? What does not exist because of what? What ceases because of what?' However, a well-learned noble disciple knows that 'because this exists, that exists; because this arises, that arises,' that is, conditioned by ignorance are volitional formations, up to the arising of this entire mass of suffering; with the cessation of ignorance, volitional formations cease, up to the cessation of this entire mass of suffering.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (351) Thus have I heard: At one time, the venerable Narada, the venerable Mosila, the venerable Susima, and the venerable Ananda were dwelling near the Elephant Ear Pond in Savatthi. At that time, the venerable Narada said to the venerable Mosila: 'If someone has different faith, different desires, different hearing, different behavioral thoughts, different views and convictions, would such a person have this correct self-awareness and understanding: that is, because there is birth, there is old age and death, and old age and death do not exist apart from birth?' The venerable Mosila said: 'If someone has different faith, different desires, different hearing, different behavioral thoughts, different views and convictions, such a person would have this correct self-awareness and understanding: that is, because there is birth, there is old age and death, and old age and death do not exist apart from birth. It is reasonable to say so.'


。」

「尊者茂師羅!有異信,乃至異忍,得自覺知見生,所謂有滅、寂滅、涅槃耶?」

尊者茂師羅答言:「有異信,乃至異忍,得自覺知見生,所謂有滅、寂滅、涅槃。」

復問:「尊者茂師羅!有滅則寂滅、涅槃,說者汝今便是阿羅漢,諸漏盡耶?」

尊者茂師羅默然不答,第二、第三問亦默然不答。

爾時,尊者殊勝語尊者茂師羅:「汝今且止,我當爲汝答尊者那羅。」

尊者茂師羅言:「我今且止,汝為我答。」

爾時,尊者殊勝語尊者那羅:「有異信,乃至異忍,得自覺知見生,所謂有滅則寂滅、涅槃。」

時,尊者那羅問尊者殊勝言:「有異信,乃至異忍,得自覺知見生,所謂有滅則寂滅、涅槃者,汝今便是漏盡阿羅漢耶?」

尊者殊勝言:「我說有滅則寂滅、涅槃,而非漏盡阿羅漢也。」

尊者那羅言:「所說不同,前後相違,如尊者所說,有滅則寂滅、涅槃,而復言非漏盡阿羅漢耶?」

尊者殊勝語尊者那羅言:「今當說譬,夫智者以譬得解,如曠野路邊有井,無繩無罐,得取其水。時,有行人,熱渴所逼,繞井求覓,無繩無罐,諦觀井水,如實知見,而不觸身。如是,我說有滅則寂滅、涅槃,而自不得漏盡阿羅漢

現代漢語譯本 『尊者茂師羅!』有人問,『是否有不同的信仰,甚至不同的忍耐,能夠產生自覺的知見,即所謂的有滅、寂滅、涅槃呢?』 尊者茂師羅回答說:『有不同的信仰,甚至不同的忍耐,能夠產生自覺的知見,即所謂的有滅、寂滅、涅槃。』 又問:『尊者茂師羅!如果說有滅即是寂滅、涅槃,那麼說這話的你現在就是阿羅漢,已經斷盡了一切煩惱了嗎?』 尊者茂師羅沉默不語,沒有回答。第二次、第三次問他,他仍然沉默不語。 這時,尊者殊勝對尊者茂師羅說:『你先停一下,我來替你回答尊者那羅。』 尊者茂師羅說:『我先停一下,你替我回答吧。』 這時,尊者殊勝對尊者那羅說:『有不同的信仰,甚至不同的忍耐,能夠產生自覺的知見,即所謂的有滅即是寂滅、涅槃。』 當時,尊者那羅問尊者殊勝說:『如果說有不同的信仰,甚至不同的忍耐,能夠產生自覺的知見,即所謂的有滅即是寂滅、涅槃,那麼你現在就是斷盡煩惱的阿羅漢了嗎?』 尊者殊勝說:『我說有滅即是寂滅、涅槃,但我並非斷盡煩惱的阿羅漢。』 尊者那羅說:『你所說的話前後矛盾,自相違背。正如你所說,有滅即是寂滅、涅槃,卻又說自己不是斷盡煩惱的阿羅漢?』 尊者殊勝對尊者那羅說:『我現在打個比方,有智慧的人可以通過比喻來理解。比如在曠野路邊有一口井,沒有繩子也沒有水桶,無法取水。這時,有一個行人,被炎熱和口渴所困擾,繞著井邊尋找,沒有繩子和水桶,他仔細觀察井水,如實地瞭解和看見,但並沒有接觸到井水。同樣,我說有滅即是寂滅、涅槃,但我自己並沒有達到斷盡煩惱的阿羅漢的境界。』

English version 『Venerable Mosila!』 someone asked, 『Is there a different belief, or even a different endurance, that can give rise to self-realized knowledge and vision, that is, the so-called cessation, tranquility, and Nirvana?』 Venerable Mosila replied: 『There is a different belief, or even a different endurance, that can give rise to self-realized knowledge and vision, that is, the so-called cessation, tranquility, and Nirvana.』 He further asked: 『Venerable Mosila! If cessation is tranquility and Nirvana, then are you, who say this, an Arhat now, having exhausted all defilements?』 Venerable Mosila remained silent and did not answer. He remained silent and did not answer the second and third times he was asked. At this time, Venerable Sushanta said to Venerable Mosila: 『You stop for a moment, and I will answer Venerable Nara for you.』 Venerable Mosila said: 『I will stop for a moment, and you answer for me.』 At this time, Venerable Sushanta said to Venerable Nara: 『There is a different belief, or even a different endurance, that can give rise to self-realized knowledge and vision, that is, the so-called cessation is tranquility and Nirvana.』 At that time, Venerable Nara asked Venerable Sushanta: 『If there is a different belief, or even a different endurance, that can give rise to self-realized knowledge and vision, that is, the so-called cessation is tranquility and Nirvana, then are you now an Arhat who has exhausted all defilements?』 Venerable Sushanta said: 『I say that cessation is tranquility and Nirvana, but I am not an Arhat who has exhausted all defilements.』 Venerable Nara said: 『What you say is contradictory and inconsistent. As you said, cessation is tranquility and Nirvana, yet you say you are not an Arhat who has exhausted all defilements?』 Venerable Sushanta said to Venerable Nara: 『I will now give an analogy. A wise person can understand through analogies. For example, there is a well by the side of a wilderness road, without a rope or a bucket, making it impossible to draw water. At this time, a traveler, troubled by heat and thirst, searches around the well, without a rope or a bucket. He carefully observes the well water, truly understands and sees it, but does not touch the water. Similarly, I say that cessation is tranquility and Nirvana, but I myself have not reached the state of an Arhat who has exhausted all defilements.』


。」

爾時,尊者阿難語尊者那羅言:「彼尊者殊勝所說,汝復云何?」

尊者那羅語尊者阿難言:「尊者殊勝善說真實,知復何言。」

時,彼正士各各說已,從座起去。

(三五二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若諸沙門、婆羅門於法不如實知,法集、法滅、法滅道跡不如實知,彼非沙門、沙門數,非婆羅門、婆羅門數,彼亦非沙門義、婆羅門義,見法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』

「云何法不如實知?云何法集不如實知?云何法滅不如實知?云何法滅道跡不如實知?謂于老死法不如實知,老死集、老死滅、老死滅道跡不如實知。如是生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處不如實知,六入處集、六入處滅、六入處滅道跡不如實知。如是諸法不如實知,法集、法滅、法滅道跡不如實知。

「若諸沙門、婆羅門於法如實知,法集、法滅、法滅道跡如實知,當知是沙門、婆羅門,沙門之沙門數、婆羅門之婆羅門數。彼以沙門義、婆羅門義,見法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有

現代漢語譯本 當時,尊者阿難對尊者那羅說:『那位尊者殊勝所說的,你又覺得如何呢?』 尊者那羅對尊者阿難說:『尊者殊勝說得很好很真實,我還能說什麼呢?』 當時,那些修行人都各自說完,就從座位上起身離開了。

(三五二)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果沙門、婆羅門對於法不能如實地瞭解,對於法的生起、法的滅盡、以及導致法滅盡的道路不能如實地瞭解,他們就不是真正的沙門,不屬於沙門的行列,也不是真正的婆羅門,不屬於婆羅門的行列。他們也不能算是真正理解了沙門和婆羅門的意義。他們不能通過自己對法的理解來親自證實:『我已經斷絕了生死輪迴,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來世。』

『什麼叫做對法不能如實地瞭解?什麼叫做對法的生起不能如實地瞭解?什麼叫做對法的滅盡不能如實地瞭解?什麼叫做對導致法滅盡的道路不能如實地瞭解?那就是對於老死之法不能如實地瞭解,對於老死的生起、老死的滅盡、以及導致老死滅盡的道路不能如實地瞭解。同樣,對於生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處不能如實地瞭解,對於六入處的生起、六入處的滅盡、以及導致六入處滅盡的道路不能如實地瞭解。像這樣,對於這些法不能如實地瞭解,對於法的生起、法的滅盡、以及導致法滅盡的道路不能如實地瞭解。

『如果沙門、婆羅門對於法能夠如實地瞭解,對於法的生起、法的滅盡、以及導致法滅盡的道路能夠如實地瞭解,那麼他們就可以被認為是真正的沙門和婆羅門,屬於沙門的行列和婆羅門的行列。他們能夠真正理解沙門和婆羅門的意義,通過自己對法的理解來親自證實:『我已經斷絕了生死輪迴,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來世。』

English version Then, Venerable Ananda said to Venerable Narada, 'What do you think of what the Venerable Shusheng said?' Venerable Narada said to Venerable Ananda, 'Venerable Shusheng spoke well and truthfully, what more can I say?' Then, those practitioners, having each spoken, rose from their seats and departed.

(352)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying at Jeta's Grove in Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.

Then, the World Honored One addressed the monks, 'If any ascetics or Brahmins do not truly understand the Dharma, do not truly understand the arising of Dharma, the cessation of Dharma, and the path leading to the cessation of Dharma, they are not true ascetics, not among the ranks of ascetics, nor are they true Brahmins, not among the ranks of Brahmins. They also do not truly understand the meaning of ascetics and Brahmins. They cannot, through their own understanding of the Dharma, personally verify: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, I know for myself that there will be no further existence.』

『What is meant by not truly understanding the Dharma? What is meant by not truly understanding the arising of Dharma? What is meant by not truly understanding the cessation of Dharma? What is meant by not truly understanding the path leading to the cessation of Dharma? It is not truly understanding the Dharma of old age and death, not truly understanding the arising of old age and death, the cessation of old age and death, and the path leading to the cessation of old age and death. Likewise, not truly understanding birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, and the six sense bases, not truly understanding the arising of the six sense bases, the cessation of the six sense bases, and the path leading to the cessation of the six sense bases. In this way, not truly understanding these Dharmas, not truly understanding the arising of Dharma, the cessation of Dharma, and the path leading to the cessation of Dharma.』

『If any ascetics or Brahmins truly understand the Dharma, truly understand the arising of Dharma, the cessation of Dharma, and the path leading to the cessation of Dharma, then they can be considered true ascetics and Brahmins, among the ranks of ascetics and Brahmins. They truly understand the meaning of ascetics and Brahmins, and through their own understanding of the Dharma, they can personally verify: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, I know for myself that there will be no further existence.』'


。』

「何等法如實知?何等法集、法滅、法滅道跡如實知?謂老死法如實知,老死集、老死滅、老死滅道跡如實知。如是生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處如實知,六入處集、六入處滅、六入處滅道跡如實知。如是諸法如實知,法集、法滅、法滅道跡如實知。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三五三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若沙門、婆羅門於法不如實知,法集、法滅、法滅道跡不如實知,當知是沙門、婆羅門,非沙門之沙門數,非婆羅門之婆羅門數,彼亦非沙門義、非婆羅門義,見法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』

「何等法不如實知?何等法集、法滅、法滅道跡不如實知?謂六入處法不如實知,六入處集、六入處滅、六入處滅道跡不如實知,而於觸如實知者,無有是處,觸集、觸滅、觸滅道跡如實知者,無有是處。如是受、愛、取、有、生、老、死如實知者,無有是處。

「若沙門、婆羅門於六入處如實知,六入處集、六入處滅、六入處滅道跡如實知者,于觸如實知,斯有是處。如是受、愛、取、有、生、老、死如實知者,斯有是處

現代漢語譯本 『什麼法是如實知?什麼法是集、滅、滅道跡如實知?』意思是說,對老死法如實知,對老死集、老死滅、老死滅道跡如實知。同樣,對生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處如實知,對六入處集、六入處滅、六入處滅道跡如實知。像這樣,對諸法如實知,對法集、法滅、法滅道跡如實知。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

(三五三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果沙門、婆羅門對法不如實知,對法集、法滅、法滅道跡不如實知,應當知道這些沙門、婆羅門,不屬於沙門中的沙門,不屬於婆羅門中的婆羅門,他們也不具備沙門的意義、婆羅門的意義,不能自己通過見法作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』

『什麼法不如實知?什麼法集、法滅、法滅道跡不如實知?』意思是說,對六入處法不如實知,對六入處集、六入處滅、六入處滅道跡不如實知,如果說對觸如實知,這是不可能的,對觸集、觸滅、觸滅道跡如實知,也是不可能的。同樣,如果說對受、愛、取、有、生、老、死如實知,也是不可能的。

『如果沙門、婆羅門對六入處如實知,對六入處集、六入處滅、六入處滅道跡如實知,那麼對觸如實知,這是有可能的。同樣,對受、愛、取、有、生、老、死如實知,也是有可能的。』

English version 'What is the Dharma that is truly known? What is the origin, cessation, and path to the cessation of the Dharma that is truly known?' It means truly knowing the Dharma of old age and death, truly knowing the origin, cessation, and path to the cessation of old age and death. Likewise, truly knowing birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, and the six sense bases, truly knowing the origin, cessation, and path to the cessation of the six sense bases. In this way, truly knowing all Dharmas, truly knowing the origin, cessation, and path to the cessation of the Dharmas. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(353)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the World Honored One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'If a samana or brahmana does not truly know the Dharma, does not truly know the origin, cessation, and path to the cessation of the Dharma, it should be known that these samanas and brahmanas are not counted among the samanas, nor among the brahmanas. They also do not possess the meaning of a samana or the meaning of a brahmana, and cannot themselves, through seeing the Dharma, bear witness: 'My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, I know that I will not have another existence.'

'What is the Dharma that is not truly known? What is the origin, cessation, and path to the cessation of the Dharma that is not truly known?' It means not truly knowing the Dharma of the six sense bases, not truly knowing the origin, cessation, and path to the cessation of the six sense bases. If it is said that one truly knows contact, this is impossible; truly knowing the origin, cessation, and path to the cessation of contact is also impossible. Likewise, if it is said that one truly knows feeling, craving, grasping, existence, birth, old age, and death, this is also impossible.

'If a samana or brahmana truly knows the six sense bases, truly knows the origin, cessation, and path to the cessation of the six sense bases, then truly knowing contact is possible. Likewise, truly knowing feeling, craving, grasping, existence, birth, old age, and death is also possible.'

(三五四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「若諸沙門、婆羅門於六入處不如實知,而欲超度觸者,無有是處,觸集、觸滅、觸滅道跡超度者,無有是處。如是超度受、愛、取、有、生、老、死者,無有是處,超度老死集、老死滅、老死滅道跡者,無有是處。若沙門、婆羅門於六入處如實知,六入處集、六入處滅、六入處滅道跡如實知,而超度觸者,斯有是處。如是超度受、愛、取、有、生、老、死者,斯有是處,乃至超度老死滅道跡者,斯有是處。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如老死,乃至六入處三經。

如是老死,乃至行三經,亦如是說。

(三五五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當覺知老死,覺知老死集、老死滅、老死滅道跡。如是,乃至當覺知行、行集、行滅、行滅道跡。

「云何當覺知老死?覺知緣生故有老死,如是老死覺知。云何老死集?生集是老死集,如是老死集覺知。云何老死滅覺知?謂生滅是老死滅,如是老死滅覺知

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上面所說。不同之處在於:『如果沙門、婆羅門對六入處不能如實知曉,卻想超越觸,這是不可能的;觸的生起、觸的滅盡、觸的滅盡之道,想要超越,也是不可能的。像這樣想要超越受、愛、取、有、生、老、死,也是不可能的;想要超越老死的生起、老死的滅盡、老死的滅盡之道,也是不可能的。如果沙門、婆羅門對六入處如實知曉,對六入處的生起、六入處的滅盡、六入處的滅盡之道如實知曉,從而超越觸,這是可能的。像這樣超越受、愛、取、有、生、老、死,這是可能的,乃至超越老死滅盡之道,這也是可能的。』

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

如同老死,乃至六入處的三部經。

如同老死,乃至行三部經,也是這樣說的。

(三五五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當覺知老死,覺知老死的生起、老死的滅盡、老死的滅盡之道。像這樣,乃至應當覺知行、行的生起、行的滅盡、行的滅盡之道。』

『如何應當覺知老死?覺知因緣生起故有老死,這樣就是老死的覺知。如何是老死集?生的生起是老死集,這樣就是老死集的覺知。如何是老死滅的覺知?所謂生的滅盡就是老死滅,這樣就是老死滅的覺知。

English version After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(354)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.

At that time, the World Honored One told the monks... as said above. The difference is: 'If the ascetics and Brahmins do not truly know the six sense bases, and yet wish to transcend contact, this is not possible; to transcend the arising of contact, the cessation of contact, and the path leading to the cessation of contact, this is not possible. Likewise, to transcend feeling, craving, grasping, becoming, birth, old age, and death, this is not possible; to transcend the arising of old age and death, the cessation of old age and death, and the path leading to the cessation of old age and death, this is not possible. If the ascetics and Brahmins truly know the six sense bases, and truly know the arising of the six sense bases, the cessation of the six sense bases, and the path leading to the cessation of the six sense bases, and thereby transcend contact, this is possible. Likewise, to transcend feeling, craving, grasping, becoming, birth, old age, and death, this is possible, and even to transcend the path leading to the cessation of old age and death, this is possible.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

Like old age and death, and so on, up to the three sutras on the six sense bases.

Like old age and death, and so on, up to the three sutras on action, it is also said in this way.

(355)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.

At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'You should be aware of old age and death, be aware of the arising of old age and death, the cessation of old age and death, and the path leading to the cessation of old age and death. Likewise, you should be aware of action, the arising of action, the cessation of action, and the path leading to the cessation of action.'

'How should one be aware of old age and death? Be aware that due to conditions arising, there is old age and death; this is the awareness of old age and death. What is the arising of old age and death? The arising of birth is the arising of old age and death; this is the awareness of the arising of old age and death. What is the awareness of the cessation of old age and death? The cessation of birth is the cessation of old age and death; this is the awareness of the cessation of old age and death.'


。云何老死滅道跡覺知?謂八聖道是老死滅道跡,如是老死滅道跡覺知,乃至云何行覺知?謂三行,身行、口行、意行,如是行覺知。云何行集覺知?謂無明集是行集,如是行集覺知。云何行滅覺知?無明滅是行滅,如是行滅覺知。云何行滅道跡覺知?謂八聖道是行滅道跡,如是行滅道跡覺知。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三五六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有四十四種智。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。何等為四十四種智?謂老死智、老死集智、老死滅智、老死滅道跡智。如是生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行智,行集智、行滅智、行滅道跡智,是名四十四種智。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有七十七種智。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。云何七十七種智,生緣老死智,非餘生緣老死智;過去生緣老死智,非余過去生緣老死智;未來生緣老死智,非余未來生緣老死智;及法住智,無常、有為、心所緣生、盡法、變易法、離欲法、滅法斷知智

現代漢語譯本:如何覺知老死滅之道跡?是指八聖道是老死滅之道跡,如此覺知老死滅之道跡。乃至如何覺知行?是指三種行,身行、口行、意行,如此覺知行。如何覺知行之集起?是指無明之集起是行之集起,如此覺知行之集起。如何覺知行之滅?是指無明之滅是行之滅,如此覺知行之滅。如何覺知行滅之道跡?是指八聖道是行滅之道跡,如此覺知行滅之道跡。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (三五六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四十四種智慧。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。哪四十四種智慧呢?是指老死智、老死集智、老死滅智、老死滅道跡智。如此,生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行智,行集智、行滅智、行滅道跡智,這稱為四十四種智慧。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (三五七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有七十七種智慧。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。哪七十七種智慧呢?生緣老死智,非其餘生緣老死智;過去生緣老死智,非其餘過去生緣老死智;未來生緣老死智,非其餘未來生緣老死智;以及法住智,無常、有為、心所緣生、盡法、變易法、離欲法、滅法斷知智』

English version: How does one perceive the path leading to the cessation of old age and death? It is the Noble Eightfold Path that is the path leading to the cessation of old age and death. Thus is the perception of the path leading to the cessation of old age and death. And how does one perceive action? It is the three actions: bodily action, verbal action, and mental action. Thus is the perception of action. How does one perceive the arising of action? It is the arising of ignorance that is the arising of action. Thus is the perception of the arising of action. How does one perceive the cessation of action? It is the cessation of ignorance that is the cessation of action. Thus is the perception of the cessation of action. How does one perceive the path leading to the cessation of action? It is the Noble Eightfold Path that is the path leading to the cessation of action. Thus is the perception of the path leading to the cessation of action. After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (356) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'There are forty-four kinds of wisdom. Listen carefully, reflect well, and I will explain them to you. What are the forty-four kinds of wisdom? They are the wisdom of old age and death, the wisdom of the arising of old age and death, the wisdom of the cessation of old age and death, and the wisdom of the path leading to the cessation of old age and death. Likewise, the wisdom of birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, the six sense bases, name and form, consciousness, and action; the wisdom of the arising of action, the wisdom of the cessation of action, and the wisdom of the path leading to the cessation of action. These are called the forty-four kinds of wisdom.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (357) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'There are seventy-seven kinds of wisdom. Listen carefully, reflect well, and I will explain them to you. What are the seventy-seven kinds of wisdom? The wisdom of old age and death conditioned by birth, not the wisdom of old age and death conditioned by other things; the wisdom of old age and death conditioned by past birth, not the wisdom of old age and death conditioned by other past birth; the wisdom of old age and death conditioned by future birth, not the wisdom of old age and death conditioned by other future birth; and the wisdom of the stability of the law, impermanence, conditioned, arising from mental objects, the law of exhaustion, the law of change, the law of detachment, and the wisdom of knowing the cessation of the law.'


。如是生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行、無明緣行智,非余無明緣行智;過去無明緣行智,非余過去無明緣行智;未來無明緣行智,非余未來無明緣行智;及法住智,無常、有為、心所緣生、盡法、變易法、無慾法、滅法斷智,是名七十七種智。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有增法、減法。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。云何增法?所謂此有故彼有,此起故彼起,謂緣無明行,緣行識,乃至純大苦聚集,是名增法。云何減法?謂此無故彼無,此滅故彼滅,所謂無明滅則行滅,乃至純大苦聚滅,是名減法。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若思量、若妄想生,彼使攀緣識住;有攀緣識住故,有未來世生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如是純大苦聚集

現代漢語譯本:『例如,生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行、無明緣行智,不是其他的無明緣行智;過去的無明緣行智,不是其他的過去的無明緣行智;未來的無明緣行智,不是其他的未來的無明緣行智;以及法住智,無常、有為、心所緣生、盡法、變易法、無慾法、滅法斷智,這被稱為七十七種智慧。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (三五八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有增法、減法。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。什麼是增法?所謂「此有故彼有,此起故彼起」,即以無明為緣而有行,以行為緣而有識,乃至純粹的大苦聚集,這稱為增法。什麼是減法?所謂「此無故彼無,此滅故彼滅」,即無明滅則行滅,乃至純粹的大苦聚滅,這稱為減法。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 如增法、減法。像這樣,生法、變易法、集法、滅法如上面所說。 像將要說的三部經,應當知道這三部經如上面所說。 (三五九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果思量、妄想產生,它們會使攀緣的識住留;因為有攀緣的識住留,所以有未來世的生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。這樣就是純粹的大苦聚集。』

English version: 'For example, the wisdom of birth, existence, grasping, love, feeling, contact, the six sense bases, name and form, consciousness, volitional formations, and ignorance as a condition for volitional formations, is not other ignorance as a condition for volitional formations; past ignorance as a condition for volitional formations, is not other past ignorance as a condition for volitional formations; future ignorance as a condition for volitional formations, is not other future ignorance as a condition for volitional formations; and the wisdom of the law abiding, impermanence, conditioned, arising from mental objects, the law of cessation, the law of change, the law of desirelessness, the wisdom of the cessation of the law, these are called the seventy-seven kinds of wisdom.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. (358) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Jeta Grove in Anathapindika's Park in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'There are increasing and decreasing laws. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. What are the increasing laws? It is said that 'when this exists, that exists; when this arises, that arises,' that is, with ignorance as a condition, volitional formations arise; with volitional formations as a condition, consciousness arises, and so on, until the accumulation of pure great suffering, this is called the increasing law. What are the decreasing laws? It is said that 'when this does not exist, that does not exist; when this ceases, that ceases,' that is, when ignorance ceases, volitional formations cease, and so on, until the cessation of the pure great suffering, this is called the decreasing law.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. Like the increasing and decreasing laws. In this way, the laws of birth, change, accumulation, and cessation are as described above. Like the three discourses that will be spoken, it should be known that these three discourses are as described above. (359) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Jeta Grove in Anathapindika's Park in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'If thoughts and imaginings arise, they cause clinging consciousness to remain; because clinging consciousness remains, there is future birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. Thus is the accumulation of pure great suffering.'

現代漢語譯本:如果不起思量、不生妄想,就不會有使意識攀緣停留的因素;因為沒有使意識攀緣停留的因素,那麼在未來的生命中,生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、苦惱、痛苦就會滅除,這樣就徹底滅除了巨大的苦難集合。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (三六〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果起思量、生妄想,就會有使意識攀緣停留的因素;因為有使意識攀緣停留的因素,就會進入名色(精神和物質);因為進入名色,就會有未來世的生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、苦惱、痛苦。這樣就聚集了巨大的苦難。如果不起思量、不生妄想,就不會有使意識攀緣停留的因素;因為沒有使意識攀緣停留的因素,就不會進入名色;因為不進入名色,生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、苦惱、痛苦就會滅除,這樣就徹底滅除了巨大的苦難集合。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (三六一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果有思量、有妄想,就會有使意識攀緣停留的因素;因為有使意識攀緣停留的因素,就會進入名色;因為進入名色,就會有往來(輪迴);因為有往來,就會有生死;因為有生死,就會有未來世的生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、苦惱、痛苦。這樣就聚集了巨大的苦難。如果不起思量、不生妄想,就不會有使意識攀緣停留的因素;因為沒有使意識攀緣停留的因素,就不會進入名色;因為不進入名色,就不會有往來;因為沒有往來,就不會有生死;因為沒有生死,在未來的生命中,生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、苦惱、痛苦就會滅除,這樣就徹底滅除了巨大的苦難集合。』

English version: If there is no thinking, no delusion, there will be no cause for consciousness to cling and abide; because there is no cause for consciousness to cling and abide, then in future lives, birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering will cease, thus completely extinguishing the great accumulation of suffering. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (360) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'If there is thinking, if there is delusion, then there will be a cause for consciousness to cling and abide; because there is a cause for consciousness to cling and abide, one enters into name and form (mind and matter); because one enters into name and form, there will be future lives of birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. Thus, a great accumulation of suffering is gathered. If there is no thinking, no delusion, there will be no cause for consciousness to cling and abide; because there is no cause for consciousness to cling and abide, one does not enter into name and form; because one does not enter into name and form, birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering will cease, thus completely extinguishing the great accumulation of suffering.'

Thus, a great accumulation of suffering is gathered.

English version Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in what the Blessed One had said and practiced accordingly.

(362)

Thus have I heard:

At one time the Blessed One was dwelling at Savatthi, in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park.

Then the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'There is a learned bhikkhu. How does the Tathagata establish a learned bhikkhu?'

The bhikkhus said to the Blessed One: 'Venerable sir, the Blessed One is the root of the Dhamma, the eye of the Dhamma, the reliance of the Dhamma. It would be good if the Blessed One would explain what a 'learned bhikkhu' is. Having heard it, the bhikkhus will practice accordingly.'

The Blessed One said: 'Listen, bhikkhus, pay close attention, I will tell you. Bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu, on hearing of old age, sickness, and death, develops revulsion, dispassion, and cessation, this is called a learned bhikkhu. Likewise, on hearing of birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, the six sense bases, name-and-form, consciousness, and volitional formations, he develops revulsion, dispassion, and cessation, this is called a learned bhikkhu. This is how the Tathagata establishes a learned bhikkhu.'

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『所謂見法般涅槃。如來說的「見法般涅槃」是什麼意思呢?』

眾比丘稟告佛陀:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠。太好了!世尊!希望您為我們解說「見法般涅槃」,眾比丘聽聞后,當會接受奉行。比丘如何才能得見法般涅槃呢?』

佛陀告訴比丘們:『仔細聽,好好思考,我當爲你們解說』

English version After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(364)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the World-Honored One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'It is said, practice in accordance with the Dharma. Bhikkhus! What is meant by 「practice in accordance with the Dharma」?'

The bhikkhus said to the Buddha: 'The World-Honored One is the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma. Excellent! World-Honored One! We beseech you to explain it, and the bhikkhus, having heard it, will accept and practice it.'

The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu, regarding old age, sickness, and death, generates aversion, detachment, and inclination towards cessation, this is called 「practice in accordance with the Dharma.」 Likewise, regarding birth, and even regarding actions, generating aversion, detachment, and inclination towards cessation, this is called 「practice in accordance with the Dharma.」 Bhikkhus! This is what the Tathagata has established as 「practice in accordance with the Dharma.」'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

Translated by Tripitaka Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

(365)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the World-Honored One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'It is said, seeing the Dharma and attaining Nirvana. What does the Tathagata mean by 「seeing the Dharma and attaining Nirvana」?'

The bhikkhus said to the Buddha: 'The World-Honored One is the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the reliance of the Dharma. Excellent! World-Honored One! We beseech you to explain 「seeing the Dharma and attaining Nirvana,」 and the bhikkhus, having heard it, will accept and practice it. How does a bhikkhu attain seeing the Dharma and attaining Nirvana?'

The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.'


。若有比丘于老、病、死,厭、離欲、滅盡,不起諸漏,心善解脫,是名比丘得見法般涅槃。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三六六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「毗婆尸佛未成正覺時,獨一靜處,專精禪思,作如是念:『一切世間皆入生死,自生自熟,自滅自沒,而彼眾生於老死之上出世間道不如實知。』即自觀察:『何緣有此老死?』如是正思惟觀察,得如實無間等起知:『有生故有此老死,緣生故有老死。』復正思惟:『何緣故有此生?』尋復正思惟,無間等起知:『緣有故有生。』尋復正思惟:『何緣故有有?』尋復正思惟,如實無間等起知:『有取故有有。』尋復正思惟:『何緣故有取?』尋復正思惟,如實無間等起觀察:『取法味著顧念,緣觸愛所增長。』當知緣愛取,緣取有,緣有生,緣生老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,如是純大苦聚集。譬如緣油炷而然燈,彼時時增油治炷,彼燈常明,熾然不息……」如前來嘆譬、城譬廣說。

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如毗婆尸佛,如是尸棄佛、毗濕波浮佛、迦羅迦孫提佛、迦那迦牟尼佛、迦葉佛,皆如是說

現代漢語譯本:如果有一位比丘對於衰老、疾病、死亡感到厭惡、想要脫離慾望、想要滅盡煩惱,並且不再產生各種煩惱,內心得到徹底的解脫,這位比丘就稱為證得了法的涅槃。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並遵照實行。 (三六六) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『毗婆尸佛在還沒有成正覺的時候,獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心禪思,心中這樣想:『世間一切眾生都陷入生死的輪迴,自己出生,自己成熟,自己滅亡,自己消失,而這些眾生對於超越老死的出世間之道卻不能如實地瞭解。』於是他自己觀察:『是什麼原因導致了老死?』這樣正確地思考觀察,他如實地、無間斷地認識到:『因為有生,所以才有老死,老死是緣于生而產生的。』他又正確地思考:『是什麼原因導致了生?』他繼續正確地思考,無間斷地認識到:『因為有「有」,所以才有生。』他又繼續正確地思考:『是什麼原因導致了「有」?』他繼續正確地思考,如實地、無間斷地認識到:『因為有「取」,所以才有「有」。』他又繼續正確地思考:『是什麼原因導致了「取」?』他繼續正確地思考,如實地、無間斷地觀察到:『「取」是由於貪戀、執著于感官的快樂,是由於接觸所產生的愛慾增長而來的。』應當知道,因為有愛慾,所以有「取」;因為有「取」,所以有「有」;因為有「有」,所以有生;因為有生,所以有老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、苦惱,這樣就聚集了純粹的大苦。就像燈依靠燈油和燈芯燃燒一樣,不斷地新增燈油,調整燈芯,燈就會持續明亮,燃燒不息……』就像前面所說的比喻、城池的比喻一樣,廣泛地說明。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並遵照實行。 就像毗婆尸佛一樣,尸棄佛、毗濕波浮佛、迦羅迦孫提佛、迦那迦牟尼佛、迦葉佛,他們也都是這樣說的。

English version: 'If a bhikkhu, regarding old age, sickness, and death, feels aversion, detachment, and a desire for cessation, and does not give rise to defilements, and whose mind is well liberated, such a bhikkhu is said to have attained the Dharma's Parinirvana.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and practiced accordingly. (366) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'When Vipassi Buddha had not yet attained complete enlightenment, he was alone in a secluded place, engaged in focused meditation, and thought thus: 「All beings in the world are subject to birth and death, they arise, mature, perish, and disappear, and these beings do not truly understand the path that transcends old age and death.」 He then observed: 「What is the cause of this old age and death?」 Through correct contemplation and observation, he realized without interruption: 「Because there is birth, there is old age and death; old age and death arise due to birth.」 He further contemplated: 「What is the cause of birth?」 He continued to contemplate correctly and realized without interruption: 「Because there is 『becoming,』 there is birth.」 He further contemplated: 「What is the cause of 『becoming』?」 He continued to contemplate correctly and realized without interruption: 「Because there is 『clinging,』 there is 『becoming.』」 He further contemplated: 「What is the cause of 『clinging』?」 He continued to contemplate correctly and observed without interruption: 「Clinging arises from the enjoyment of the taste of the senses, from attachment and consideration, and is increased by the love that arises from contact.」 It should be known that due to love, there is clinging; due to clinging, there is becoming; due to becoming, there is birth; due to birth, there is old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress. Thus, a great mass of suffering arises. Just as a lamp is lit by oil and a wick, and by constantly adding oil and adjusting the wick, the lamp continues to burn brightly and without ceasing…」 as explained extensively in the previous similes and the simile of the city. Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and practiced accordingly. Just as Vipassi Buddha spoke, so did Sikhi Buddha, Vessabhu Buddha, Kakusandha Buddha, Konagamana Buddha, and Kassapa Buddha.


(三六七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當勤方便修習禪思,內寂其心。所以者何?比丘禪思,內寂其心,精勤方便者。如是如實顯現。云何如實顯現?老死如實顯現,老死集、老死滅、老死滅道跡如實顯現;生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行如實顯現,行集、行滅、行滅道跡如實顯現。此諸法無常、有為、有漏如實顯現。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三六八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當修無量三摩提,專精繫念,修無量三摩提,專精繫念已。如是如實顯現。云何如實顯現?謂老死如實顯現,乃至行如實顯現,此諸法無常、有為、有漏。如是如實顯現。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 (三六七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『應當勤奮努力地修習禪定,使內心寂靜。為什麼呢?比丘修習禪定,內心寂靜,精勤努力,就能如實地顯現真理。如何如實顯現呢?老死如實顯現,老死的生起、老死的滅盡、老死滅盡的道路如實顯現;生、有、取、愛、受、觸、六入處、名色、識、行如實顯現,行的生起、行的滅盡、行滅盡的道路如實顯現。這些法都是無常的、有為的、有漏的,如實顯現。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (三六八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『應當修習無量三摩地,專心一意地繫念。修習無量三摩地,專心一意地繫念后,就能如實地顯現真理。如何如實顯現呢?就是老死如實顯現,乃至行如實顯現,這些法都是無常的、有為的、有漏的。這樣就能如實地顯現。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (三六九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version (367) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'You should diligently practice meditation, calming your minds internally. Why is that? When a monk meditates, calms his mind internally, and is diligent, then things will appear as they truly are. How do things appear as they truly are? Aging and death appear as they truly are, the arising of aging and death, the cessation of aging and death, and the path leading to the cessation of aging and death appear as they truly are; birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, the six sense bases, name and form, consciousness, and volitional formations appear as they truly are, the arising of volitional formations, the cessation of volitional formations, and the path leading to the cessation of volitional formations appear as they truly are. These dharmas are impermanent, conditioned, and defiled, and appear as they truly are.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (368) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'You should cultivate immeasurable samadhi, focusing your minds intently. Having cultivated immeasurable samadhi and focused your minds intently, things will appear as they truly are. How do things appear as they truly are? Aging and death appear as they truly are, and so on up to volitional formations appear as they truly are. These dharmas are impermanent, conditioned, and defiled. Thus, things appear as they truly are.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (369) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「昔者毗婆尸佛未成正覺時,住菩提所,不久成佛,詣菩提樹下,敷草為座,結跏趺坐,端坐正念,一坐七日,於十二緣起逆順觀察,所謂此有故彼有,此起故彼起,緣無明行,乃至緣生有老死,及純大苦聚集,純大苦聚滅。

「彼毗婆尸佛正坐七日已,從三昧覺,說此偈言:

「『如此諸法生,  梵志勤思禪,   永離諸疑惑,  知因緣生法。   若知因生苦,  知諸受滅盡,   知因緣法盡,  則知有漏盡。   如此諸法生,  梵志勤思禪,   永離諸疑惑,  知有因生苦。   如此諸法生,  梵志勤思禪,   永離諸疑惑,  知諸受滅盡。   如此諸法生,  梵志勤思禪,   永離諸疑惑,  知因緣法盡。   如此諸法生,  梵志勤思禪,   永離諸疑惑,  知盡諸有漏。   如此諸法生,  梵志勤思禪,   普照諸世間,  如日住虛空。   破壞諸魔軍,  覺諸結解脫。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如毗婆尸佛,如是尸棄佛、毗濕波浮佛、迦羅迦孫提佛、迦那迦牟尼佛、迦葉佛,亦如是說

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『過去,毗婆尸佛在尚未成正覺時,住在菩提樹附近,不久之後即將成佛。他來到菩提樹下,鋪上草作為座位,結跏趺坐,端正坐好,心念專注。他一坐就是七天,對十二因緣進行逆向和順向的觀察,也就是所謂『此有故彼有,此起故彼起』,從無明緣起行,乃至從生緣起老死,以及純粹的大苦聚集,純粹的大苦聚滅。 『毗婆尸佛在正坐七天後,從禪定中醒來,說了這首偈語: 『如此諸法生起,修行者勤奮禪思,永遠脫離各種疑惑,明白因緣所生的法。 如果知道因緣產生苦,知道各種感受的滅盡,知道因緣法滅盡,就能知道有漏的滅盡。 如此諸法生起,修行者勤奮禪思,永遠脫離各種疑惑,明白有因緣產生苦。 如此諸法生起,修行者勤奮禪思,永遠脫離各種疑惑,明白各種感受的滅盡。 如此諸法生起,修行者勤奮禪思,永遠脫離各種疑惑,明白因緣法滅盡。 如此諸法生起,修行者勤奮禪思,永遠脫離各種疑惑,明白滅盡各種有漏。 如此諸法生起,修行者勤奮禪思,普遍照耀世間,如同太陽懸掛在虛空。 摧毀各種魔軍,覺悟各種煩惱的解脫。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 如同毗婆尸佛一樣,尸棄佛、毗濕波浮佛、迦羅迦孫提佛、迦那迦牟尼佛、迦葉佛,也都是這樣說的。

English version At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'In the past, when Vipasyin Buddha had not yet attained complete enlightenment, he resided near the Bodhi tree. Soon after, he was about to become a Buddha. He went under the Bodhi tree, spread grass as a seat, sat in the lotus position, sat upright with mindfulness. He sat for seven days, observing the twelve links of dependent origination in both forward and reverse order, that is, 'this exists, therefore that exists; this arises, therefore that arises,' from ignorance conditioning volitional actions, up to birth conditioning old age and death, and the gathering of pure great suffering, and the cessation of pure great suffering. 'After Vipasyin Buddha had sat upright for seven days, he awoke from samadhi and spoke this verse: 'Thus do all dharmas arise, the Brahmin diligently contemplates in meditation, forever free from all doubts, understanding the dharmas arising from conditions. If one knows that suffering arises from conditions, knows the extinction of all feelings, knows the extinction of conditioned dharmas, then one knows the extinction of outflows. Thus do all dharmas arise, the Brahmin diligently contemplates in meditation, forever free from all doubts, understanding that suffering arises from conditions. Thus do all dharmas arise, the Brahmin diligently contemplates in meditation, forever free from all doubts, understanding the extinction of all feelings. Thus do all dharmas arise, the Brahmin diligently contemplates in meditation, forever free from all doubts, understanding the extinction of conditioned dharmas. Thus do all dharmas arise, the Brahmin diligently contemplates in meditation, forever free from all doubts, understanding the extinction of all outflows. Thus do all dharmas arise, the Brahmin diligently contemplates in meditation, universally illuminating the world, like the sun dwelling in the sky. Destroying all the armies of Mara, awakening to the liberation from all fetters.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just like Vipasyin Buddha, so did Sikhi Buddha, Visvabhu Buddha, Krakucchanda Buddha, Kanakamuni Buddha, and Kasyapa Buddha also speak.


(三七〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住郁毗羅尼連禪河側大菩提所,不久當成正覺,往詣菩提樹下,敷草為座,結跏趺坐,正身正念……如前廣說。

(三七一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有四食資益眾生,令得住世攝受長養。何等為四?謂一、粗摶食,二、細觸食,三、意思食,四、識食。

「此四食何因、何集、何生、何觸?謂此諸食愛因、愛集、愛生、愛觸。此愛何因、何集、何生、何觸?謂愛受因、受集、受生、受觸。此受何因、何集、何生、何觸?謂受觸因、觸集、觸生、觸觸,此觸何因、何集、何生、何觸?謂觸六入處因、六入處集、六入處生、六入處觸。六入處集是觸集,觸集是受集,受集是愛集,愛集是食集,食集故未來世生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦集,如是純大苦聚集。

「如是六入處滅則觸滅,觸滅則受滅,受滅則愛滅,愛滅則食滅,食滅故於未來世生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,如是純大苦聚滅。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三七二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 (三七〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在郁毗羅尼連禪河邊的大菩提樹下,即將證得正覺。他前往菩提樹下,鋪上草作為座位,結跏趺坐,端正身體,保持正念……如同之前詳細描述的那樣。 (三七一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種食物滋養眾生,使他們得以存活、攝受和成長。是哪四種呢?第一是粗糙的摶食,第二是細微的觸食,第三是意思食,第四是識食。』 『這四種食物的因、集、生、觸是什麼呢?是愛。這些食物以愛為因、愛為集、愛為生、愛為觸。這愛的因、集、生、觸是什麼呢?是受。愛以受為因、受為集、受為生、受為觸。這受的因、集、生、觸是什麼呢?是觸。受以觸為因、觸為集、觸為生、觸為觸。這觸的因、集、生、觸是什麼呢?是六入處。觸以六入處為因、六入處為集、六入處為生、六入處為觸。六入處的集是觸的集,觸的集是受的集,受的集是愛的集,愛的集是食的集,食的集導致未來世的生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦聚集,這樣就形成了純粹的大苦聚集。』 『同樣,六入處滅則觸滅,觸滅則受滅,受滅則愛滅,愛滅則食滅,食滅則未來世的生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,這樣就消除了純粹的大苦聚集。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (三七二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version (370) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling near the great Bodhi tree by the bank of the Nairanjana River in Uruvilva, about to attain enlightenment. He went to the Bodhi tree, spread grass for a seat, sat in the lotus position, straightened his body, and maintained mindfulness... as described in detail before. (371) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks: 'There are four kinds of nutriment that sustain beings, enabling them to live, be maintained, and grow. What are the four? They are: first, coarse food; second, fine contact food; third, volitional food; and fourth, consciousness food.' 'What are the cause, origin, arising, and contact of these four kinds of nutriment? They are love. These foods have love as their cause, love as their origin, love as their arising, and love as their contact. What are the cause, origin, arising, and contact of this love? They are feeling. Love has feeling as its cause, feeling as its origin, feeling as its arising, and feeling as its contact. What are the cause, origin, arising, and contact of this feeling? They are contact. Feeling has contact as its cause, contact as its origin, contact as its arising, and contact as its contact. What are the cause, origin, arising, and contact of this contact? They are the six sense bases. Contact has the six sense bases as its cause, the six sense bases as its origin, the six sense bases as its arising, and the six sense bases as its contact. The origin of the six sense bases is the origin of contact, the origin of contact is the origin of feeling, the origin of feeling is the origin of love, the origin of love is the origin of nutriment, and the origin of nutriment leads to the accumulation of birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress in future lives, thus forming a pure mass of great suffering.' 'Likewise, when the six sense bases cease, contact ceases; when contact ceases, feeling ceases; when feeling ceases, love ceases; when love ceases, nutriment ceases; and when nutriment ceases, birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress in future lives cease, thus eliminating the pure mass of great suffering.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (372) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有四食資益眾生,令得住世攝受長養。何等為四?一、粗摶食,二、細觸食,三、意思食,四、識食。」

時,有比丘名曰頗求那,住佛后扇佛,白佛言:「世尊!誰食此識?」

佛告頗求那:「我不言有食識者,我若言有食識者,汝應作是問,我說識是食。汝應問言:『何因緣故有識食?』我則答言:『能招未來有,令相續生,有有故有六入處,六入處緣觸。』」

頗求那復問:「為誰觸?」

佛告頗求那:「我不言有觸者,我若言有觸者,汝應作是問:『為誰觸?』汝應如是問:『何因緣故生觸?』我應如是答:『六入處緣觸,觸緣受。』」

復問:「為誰受?」

佛告頗求那:「我不說有受者,我若言有受者,汝應問:『為誰受?』汝應問言:『何因緣故有受?』我應如是答:『觸緣故有受,受緣愛。』」

復問:「世尊!為誰愛?」

佛告頗求那:「我不說有愛者,我若說言有愛者,汝應作是問:『為誰愛?』汝應問言:『何緣故有愛?』我應如是答:『緣受故有愛,愛緣取

現代漢語譯本 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種食物滋養眾生,使他們得以存活於世,並得到攝受和成長。是哪四種呢?第一是粗糙的摶食,第二是精細的觸食,第三是意念食,第四是識食。』 當時,有一位名叫頗求那的比丘,站在佛陀身後為他扇風,他問佛陀:『世尊,是誰在食用這個識呢?』 佛陀告訴頗求那:『我沒有說有食用識的人。如果我說有食用識的人,你才應該這樣問。我說識是食物。你應該問:『是什麼因緣導致有識食?』我則會回答:『它能招引未來的存在,使之相續產生,因為有存在所以有六入處,六入處緣于觸。』 頗求那又問:『是誰在觸?』 佛陀告訴頗求那:『我沒有說有觸的人。如果我說有觸的人,你才應該這樣問:『是誰在觸?』你應該這樣問:『是什麼因緣導致產生觸?』我應該這樣回答:『六入處緣于觸,觸緣于受。』 他又問:『是誰在感受?』 佛陀告訴頗求那:『我沒有說有感受的人。如果我說有感受的人,你才應該問:『是誰在感受?』你應該問:『是什麼因緣導致有感受?』我應該這樣回答:『觸緣故有感受,感受緣于愛。』 他又問:『世尊,是誰在愛?』 佛陀告訴頗求那:『我沒有說有愛的人。如果我說有愛的人,你才應該這樣問:『是誰在愛?』你應該問:『是什麼因緣導致有愛?』我應該這樣回答:『緣于感受所以有愛,愛緣于取。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There are four kinds of food that nourish sentient beings, enabling them to live in the world, and to be sustained and grow. What are the four? First, coarse food; second, fine contact food; third, volitional food; and fourth, consciousness food.' Then, there was a monk named Phagguna, who was standing behind the Buddha fanning him. He asked the Buddha: 'World Honored One, who eats this consciousness?' The Buddha told Phagguna: 'I do not say there is one who eats consciousness. If I said there is one who eats consciousness, you should ask that question. I say consciousness is food. You should ask: 『What is the cause and condition for consciousness food?』 I would then answer: 『It can attract future existence, causing it to arise continuously. Because there is existence, there are the six sense bases, and the six sense bases are conditioned by contact.』 Phagguna asked again: 'Who contacts?' The Buddha told Phagguna: 'I do not say there is one who contacts. If I said there is one who contacts, you should ask that question: 『Who contacts?』 You should ask: 『What is the cause and condition for the arising of contact?』 I should answer: 『The six sense bases are conditioned by contact, and contact is conditioned by feeling.』 He asked again: 'Who feels?' The Buddha told Phagguna: 'I do not say there is one who feels. If I said there is one who feels, you should ask: 『Who feels?』 You should ask: 『What is the cause and condition for feeling?』 I should answer: 『Feeling is conditioned by contact, and feeling is conditioned by craving.』 He asked again: 'World Honored One, who craves?' The Buddha told Phagguna: 'I do not say there is one who craves. If I said there is one who craves, you should ask that question: 『Who craves?』 You should ask: 『What is the cause and condition for craving?』 I should answer: 『Craving is conditioned by feeling, and grasping is conditioned by craving.』'


。』」

復問:「世尊!為誰取?」

佛告頗求那:「我不說言有取者,我若說言有取者,汝應問言:『為誰取?』汝應問言:『何緣故有取?』我應答言:『愛緣故有取,取緣有。』」

復問:「世尊!為誰有?」

佛告頗求那:「我不說有有者,我若說有有者,汝應問言:『為誰有?』汝今應問:『何緣故有有?』我應答言:『緣取故有有,能招當來有觸生是名有,有六入處,六入處緣觸,觸緣受,受緣愛,愛緣取,取緣有,有緣生,生緣老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如是純大苦聚集,謂六入處滅則觸滅,觸滅則受滅,受滅則愛滅,愛滅則取滅,取滅則有滅,有滅則生滅,生滅則老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,如是純大苦聚集滅。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有四食資益眾生,令得住世攝受長養。云何為四?謂一、粗摶食,二、細觸食,三、意思食,四、識食

現代漢語譯本 又問:『世尊!為誰而取?』 佛告訴頗求那:『我沒有說有取的人。如果我說有取的人,你應該問:『為誰而取?』你應該問:『因為什麼原因而有取?』我應該回答:『因為愛的原因而有取,因為取的原因而有有。』 又問:『世尊!為誰而有?』 佛告訴頗求那:『我沒有說有有的人。如果我說有有的人,你應該問:『為誰而有?』你現在應該問:『因為什麼原因而有有?』我應該回答:『因為取的原因而有有,能夠招感未來有觸的產生,這叫做有。有六入處,六入處緣于觸,觸緣于受,受緣于愛,愛緣于取,取緣于有,有緣于生,生緣于老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。這樣就是純粹的大苦聚集。所謂六入處滅則觸滅,觸滅則受滅,受滅則愛滅,愛滅則取滅,取滅則有滅,有滅則生滅,生滅則老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,這樣就是純粹的大苦聚集的滅。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (三七三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種食物資養眾生,使他們能夠住世,攝受長養。哪四種呢?第一是粗摶食,第二是細觸食,第三是意思食,第四是識食。』

English version Again he asked: 『Venerable Sir, for whom is this taking?』 The Buddha told Phagguna: 『I do not say there is a taker. If I were to say there is a taker, you should ask: 『For whom is this taking?』 You should ask: 『What is the cause for taking?』 I should answer: 『Because of craving there is taking, because of taking there is becoming.』 Again he asked: 『Venerable Sir, for whom is this becoming?』 The Buddha told Phagguna: 『I do not say there is a becoming one. If I were to say there is a becoming one, you should ask: 『For whom is this becoming?』 You should now ask: 『What is the cause for becoming?』 I should answer: 『Because of taking there is becoming, which can bring about future contact. This is called becoming. There are six sense bases, the six sense bases are conditioned by contact, contact is conditioned by feeling, feeling is conditioned by craving, craving is conditioned by taking, taking is conditioned by becoming, becoming is conditioned by birth, birth is conditioned by old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair. Thus, this is the arising of the entire mass of suffering. When the six sense bases cease, contact ceases; when contact ceases, feeling ceases; when feeling ceases, craving ceases; when craving ceases, taking ceases; when taking ceases, becoming ceases; when becoming ceases, birth ceases; when birth ceases, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair cease. Thus, this is the cessation of the entire mass of suffering.』 After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (373) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at Jeta』s Grove, Anathapindika』s Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 『There are four kinds of nutriment that sustain beings, enabling them to remain in existence and to grow. What are the four? They are: first, coarse food; second, contact food; third, volitional food; and fourth, consciousness food.』


「云何比丘觀察摶食?譬如有夫婦二人,唯有一子,愛念將養,欲度曠野險道難處,糧食乏盡,飢餓困極,計無濟理,作是議言:『正有一子,極所愛念,若食其肉,可得度難,莫令在此三人俱死。』作是計已,即殺其子,含悲垂淚,強食其肉,得度曠野。云何?比丘!彼人夫婦共食子肉,寧取其味,貪嗜美樂與不?」

答曰:「不也,世尊!」

復問:「比丘!彼強食其肉,為度曠野險道與不?」

答言:「如是,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「凡食摶食,當如是觀。如是觀者,摶食斷知,摶食斷知已,於五欲功德貪愛則斷,五欲功德貪愛斷者,我不見彼多聞聖弟子於五欲功德上有一結使而不斷者,有一結系故,則還生此世。

「云何比丘觀察觸食?譬如有牛,生剝其皮,在在處處,諸蟲唼食,沙土坌塵,草木針刺,若依于地,地蟲所食,若依於水,水蟲所食,若依空中,飛蟲所食,臥起常有苦毒此身。如是,比丘!于彼觸食,當如是觀。如是觀者,觸食斷知,觸食斷知者,三受則斷,三受斷者,多聞聖弟子于上無所復作,所作已作故

現代漢語譯本 『比丘如何觀察摶食?譬如有一對夫婦,只有一個兒子,他們非常疼愛他,想要帶著他穿越荒野險峻的道路,但糧食耗盡,飢餓難耐,實在沒有辦法了,於是他們商量說:『我們只有一個兒子,是我們最疼愛的,如果吃他的肉,就可以度過難關,免得我們三個人都死在這裡。』打定主意后,他們就殺死了自己的兒子,含著悲傷的眼淚,強忍著吃他的肉,才得以穿越荒野。怎麼樣,比丘!那對夫婦一起吃兒子的肉,是爲了品嚐味道,貪圖美味享樂嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,世尊!』 又問:『比丘!他們強忍著吃兒子的肉,是爲了度過荒野險峻的道路,對嗎?』 回答說:『是的,世尊!』 佛告訴比丘:『凡是吃摶食,應當這樣觀察。這樣觀察的人,就能斷除對摶食的執著,斷除對摶食的執著后,對於五欲的貪愛就會斷除。五欲的貪愛斷除的人,我沒有見過哪個多聞的聖弟子在五欲上還有任何一個結使沒有斷除的,如果有一個結系,就會再次投生到這個世間。 『比丘如何觀察觸食?譬如有一頭牛,被活生生地剝了皮,無論在哪裡,都會被各種蟲子啃食,被沙土塵埃覆蓋,被草木的尖刺刺傷,如果躺在地上,就會被地裡的蟲子啃食,如果躺在水裡,就會被水裡的蟲子啃食,如果躺在空中,就會被飛蟲啃食,無論躺著還是起來,這身體都充滿了痛苦。比丘!對於觸食,應當這樣觀察。這樣觀察的人,就能斷除對觸食的執著,斷除對觸食的執著后,三種感受就會斷除,三種感受斷除后,多聞的聖弟子在上就沒有什麼需要再做的了,因為該做的都已經做完了。』

English version 『How does a monk contemplate morsel food? Suppose there is a couple, and they have only one son, whom they love and cherish. They wish to cross a desolate and dangerous wilderness, but their food supply is exhausted, and they are extremely hungry and distressed. Having no other recourse, they decide: 『We have only one son, whom we love dearly. If we eat his flesh, we can survive this ordeal, and prevent all three of us from dying here.』 Having made this decision, they kill their son, and with sorrowful tears, they force themselves to eat his flesh, and thus manage to cross the wilderness. Now, monks, when that couple ate their son』s flesh, were they doing so to enjoy the taste, to indulge in pleasure and delight?』 They replied, 『No, Venerable Sir.』 He asked again, 『Monks, did they force themselves to eat his flesh in order to cross the dangerous wilderness?』 They replied, 『Yes, Venerable Sir.』 The Buddha said to the monks, 『When consuming morsel food, one should contemplate it in this way. By contemplating in this way, one understands and abandons attachment to morsel food. Having abandoned attachment to morsel food, one abandons craving for the five sensual pleasures. I have not seen any learned noble disciple who has abandoned craving for the five sensual pleasures and still has any fetter remaining in regard to them. If there is a fetter, one will be reborn in this world again.』 『How does a monk contemplate contact food? Suppose there is a cow, and its skin is flayed off while it is still alive. Everywhere, insects feed on it, sand and dust cover it, and thorns and splinters pierce it. If it lies on the ground, earthworms feed on it; if it lies in water, water insects feed on it; if it lies in the air, flying insects feed on it. Whether lying down or standing up, this body is always filled with suffering. Monks, one should contemplate contact food in this way. By contemplating in this way, one understands and abandons attachment to contact food. Having abandoned attachment to contact food, the three feelings are abandoned. Having abandoned the three feelings, the learned noble disciple has nothing further to do, for what needed to be done has been done.』


「云何比丘觀察意思食?譬如聚落城邑邊有火起,無煙無炎,時有士夫聰明黠慧,背苦向樂,厭死樂生,作如是念:『彼有大火,無煙無炎,行來當避,莫令墮中,必死無疑。』作是思惟,常生思愿,舍遠而去。觀意思食,亦復如是。如是觀者,意思食斷;意思食斷者,三愛則斷;三愛斷者,彼多聞聖弟子于上更無所作,所作已作故。

「諸比丘!云何觀察識食?譬如國王,有防邏者,捉捕劫盜,縛送王所……」如前須深經廣說。「以彼因緣,受三百矛苦覺,晝夜苦痛,觀察識食,亦復如是。如是觀者,識食斷知,識食斷知者,名色斷知,名色斷知者,多聞聖弟子于上更無所作,所作已作故。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三七四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有四食資益眾生,令得住世攝受長養。何等為四?一者摶食,二者觸食,三意思食,四者識食。

「若比丘於此四食有喜有貪,則識住增長,識住增長故,入于名色,入名色故,諸行增長,行增長故,當來有增長,當來有增長故,生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦集,如是純大苦聚集

現代漢語譯本 『比丘如何觀察意思食?譬如在村落或城鎮邊有火燃起,沒有煙也沒有火焰。這時,有一位聰明機智的人,背離痛苦追求快樂,厭惡死亡渴望生存,他會這樣想:『那裡有大火,沒有煙也沒有火焰,行走時應當避開,不要讓自己掉進去,那樣必定會死無疑。』他這樣思考,常常產生這樣的願望,遠遠地離開那裡。觀察意思食,也是這樣。像這樣觀察,意思食就會斷除;意思食斷除,三愛就會斷除;三愛斷除,這位多聞的聖弟子對於修行就再也沒有什麼可做的了,因為他已經完成了該做的事情。 『諸位比丘!如何觀察識食?譬如國王有守衛,他們捉捕盜賊,捆綁起來送到國王那裡……』就像之前《須深經》中詳細描述的那樣。『因為這個緣故,他承受三百矛刺的痛苦感覺,日夜痛苦。觀察識食,也是這樣。像這樣觀察,就能斷知識食;斷知識食,就能斷知名色;斷知名色,這位多聞的聖弟子對於修行就再也沒有什麼可做的了,因為他已經完成了該做的事情。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (三七四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種食物滋養眾生,使他們得以存活於世,並得到攝受和成長。是哪四種呢?第一是摶食,第二是觸食,第三是意思食,第四是識食。』 『如果比丘對於這四種食物有喜好和貪慾,那麼識就會住留增長;識住留增長,就會進入名色;進入名色,諸行就會增長;諸行增長,未來就會有增長;未來有增長,就會產生生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,這樣就聚集了純粹的大苦。』

English version 『How does a bhikkhu contemplate volitional food? It is like a fire arising near a village or town, without smoke or flame. Then a man, intelligent and wise, turning away from suffering and towards pleasure, disliking death and desiring life, would think thus: 『There is a great fire there, without smoke or flame. As I walk, I should avoid it, lest I fall into it, and surely die.』 Thinking thus, he constantly generates this wish, and goes far away. Contemplating volitional food is also like this. By contemplating in this way, volitional food is abandoned; when volitional food is abandoned, the three cravings are abandoned; when the three cravings are abandoned, that learned noble disciple has nothing further to do, for what had to be done has been done. 『Bhikkhus, how does one contemplate consciousness as food? It is like a king who has guards who capture thieves, bind them, and bring them to the king...』 as described in detail in the previous Sūtra of Susima. 『Because of that, he experiences the painful sensation of three hundred spear thrusts, suffering day and night. Contemplating consciousness as food is also like this. By contemplating in this way, consciousness as food is known to be abandoned; when consciousness as food is known to be abandoned, name-and-form is known to be abandoned; when name-and-form is known to be abandoned, that learned noble disciple has nothing further to do, for what had to be done has been done.』 After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha』s words, practiced accordingly. (374) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika』s Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 『There are four kinds of nutriment that sustain beings, enabling them to remain in existence, and to be supported and grow. What are the four? They are: material food, contact as food, volitional food, and consciousness as food.』 『If a bhikkhu has delight and craving for these four kinds of food, then consciousness remains and grows; because consciousness remains and grows, it enters into name-and-form; because it enters into name-and-form, the activities grow; because the activities grow, there will be future growth; because there will be future growth, birth, aging, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair arise, and thus a great mass of pure suffering is accumulated.』


「若於四食無貪無喜,無貪無喜故,識不住、不增長,識不住、不增長故,不入名色,不入名色故,行不增長,行不增長故,當來有不生不長,當來有不生長故,于未來世生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦不起。如是純大苦聚滅。」

現代漢語譯本 『如果對四種食物沒有貪戀和喜悅,因為沒有貪戀和喜悅,意識就不會停留、不會增長;意識不停留、不增長,就不會進入名色;不進入名色,行為就不會增長;行為不增長,未來的存在就不會產生、不會增長;未來的存在不產生、不增長,那麼在未來世,生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦就不會生起。這樣,純粹的大苦聚就會滅盡。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (三七五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種食物滋養眾生,使他們得以住世、攝受和成長。哪四種呢?第一是摶食,第二是觸食,第三是意思食,第四是識食。諸比丘!如果對這四種食物有貪戀和喜悅,就會有憂愁悲傷、有塵垢;如果對這四種食物沒有貪戀和喜悅,就不會有憂愁悲傷,也沒有塵垢。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (三七六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種食物滋養眾生,使他們得以住世、攝受和成長。哪四種呢?第一是摶食,第二是觸食,第三是意思食,第四是識食。』 『諸比丘!如果對這四種食物有貪戀和喜悅,意識就會停留增長,乃至純粹的大苦聚集。譬如樓閣宮殿,北面和西面長而寬廣,東西兩面有窗戶,太陽從東方升起,光線會照到西墻。同樣,比丘們!如果對這四種食物有貪戀和喜悅……』如前廣說,乃至『純粹的大苦聚集』。

English version 'If there is no craving or delight in the four kinds of food, because there is no craving or delight, consciousness does not dwell or increase; because consciousness does not dwell or increase, it does not enter name and form; because it does not enter name and form, action does not increase; because action does not increase, future existence will not arise or grow; because future existence does not arise or grow, in the future world, birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering will not arise. Thus, the entire mass of great suffering will cease.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (375) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'There are four kinds of food that nourish beings, enabling them to dwell in the world, be sustained, and grow. What are the four? They are: first, solid food; second, contact food; third, mental volition food; and fourth, consciousness food. Monks! If there is craving and delight in these four kinds of food, there will be sorrow and grief, and there will be defilement; if there is no craving or delight in these four kinds of food, there will be no sorrow or grief, and there will be no defilement.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (376) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'There are four kinds of food that nourish beings, enabling them to dwell in the world, be sustained, and grow. What are the four? They are: first, solid food; second, contact food; third, mental volition food; and fourth, consciousness food.' 'Monks! If there is craving and delight in these four kinds of food, consciousness dwells and increases, leading to the entire mass of great suffering. Just as a mansion or palace, long and wide on the north and west sides, with windows on the east and west sides, when the sun rises in the east, its light shines on the west wall. Similarly, monks! If there is craving and delight in these four kinds of food...' as previously explained, up to 'the entire mass of great suffering.'


「若於四食無貪無喜……」如前廣說,乃至「純大苦聚滅。譬如,比丘!樓閣宮殿,北西長廣,東西牕牖,日出東方,應照何所?」

A mansion or palace, long and wide on the north and west sides, with windows on the east and west sides, when the sun rises in the east, where should it shine?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'It should shine on the west wall.' The Buddha told the monks, 'If there is no west wall, where should it shine?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'It should shine on the void, with nothing to cling to.' 'Likewise, monks! If there is no craving or joy for these four kinds of food, consciousness has no place to dwell, and thus the complete cessation of the great mass of suffering occurs.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (377) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'There are four kinds of food that nourish beings, enabling them to live in the world, to be sustained and to grow. What are the four? First is solid food, second is contact food, third is mental volition food, and fourth is consciousness food. Monks! If there is craving and joy for these four kinds of food, consciousness will dwell and grow, leading to the great mass of suffering. For example, monks!

Can a painter or a painter's apprentice, gathering various colors, paint in the void?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'No, World Honored One! Why is that? Because the void is formless, without opposition, and invisible.'

English version 'So it is, bhikkhus! When there is no craving or delight in these four kinds of nutriment, consciousness does not take hold and grow, and thus the entire mass of suffering ceases.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings. (378) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'There are four kinds of nutriment that sustain beings, enabling them to live, be supported, and grow. What are the four? They are: first, solid food; second, contact as nutriment; third, mental volition as nutriment; and fourth, consciousness as nutriment. Bhikkhus, when there is craving and delight in these four kinds of nutriment, consciousness takes hold and grows, and thus the entire mass of suffering arises. For example, bhikkhus, a painter or a painter's apprentice gathers various colors, desiring to paint on a surface, creating various images. Bhikkhus, what do you think? Can that painter or painter's apprentice paint on a surface?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'Yes, Blessed One! They can paint on a surface.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'When there is craving and delight in these four kinds of nutriment, consciousness takes hold and grows, and thus the entire mass of suffering arises. Bhikkhus, if there is no craving or delight in these four kinds of nutriment, consciousness does not take hold and grow, and thus the entire mass of suffering ceases. Bhikkhus, for example, a painter or a painter's apprentice gathers various colors, desiring to paint without a surface, creating various images. Can they paint?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'No, Blessed One!' 'So it is, bhikkhus! When there is no craving or delight in these four kinds of nutriment, consciousness does not take hold and grow, and thus the entire mass of suffering ceases.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings. (379) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at Isipatana near Varanasi, in the abode of the ascetics.


爾時,世尊告五比丘:「此苦聖諦,本所未曾聞法,當正思惟。時,生眼、智、明、覺,此苦集、此苦滅、此苦滅道跡聖諦,本所未曾聞法,當正思惟。時,生、眼、智、明、覺。

「複次,苦聖諦智當復知,本所未聞法,當正思惟。時,生眼、智、明、覺,苦集聖諦已知當斷,本所未曾聞法,當正思惟。時,生眼、智、明、覺。

「複次,苦集滅,此苦滅聖諦已知當知作證,本所未聞法,當正思惟。時,生眼、智、明、覺,復以此苦滅道跡聖諦已知當修,本所未曾聞法,當正思惟。時,生眼、智、明、覺。

「複次,比丘!此苦聖諦已知,知已出,所未聞法,當正思惟。時,生眼、智、明、覺;複次,此苦集聖諦已知,已斷出,所未聞法,當正思惟。時,生眼、智、明、覺。

「複次,苦滅聖諦已知、已作證出,所未聞法,當正思惟。時,生眼、智、明、覺;複次,苦滅道跡聖諦已知、已修出,所未曾聞法,當正思惟。時,生眼、智、明、覺。

「諸比丘!我於此四聖諦三轉十二行不生眼、智、明、覺者,我終不得於諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門聞法眾中,為解脫、為出、為離,亦不自證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提

現代漢語譯本 那時,世尊告訴五位比丘:『這苦聖諦,是以前從未聽聞的法,應當如理思維。』當時,生起了眼、智、明、覺。『這苦的集起、這苦的滅盡、這導致苦滅的道跡聖諦,是以前從未聽聞的法,應當如理思維。』當時,生起了眼、智、明、覺。 『再者,對於苦聖諦的智慧應當進一步瞭解,這是以前從未聽聞的法,應當如理思維。』當時,生起了眼、智、明、覺。『苦集聖諦已經瞭解,應當斷除,這是以前從未聽聞的法,應當如理思維。』當時,生起了眼、智、明、覺。 『再者,苦的集起滅盡,這苦滅聖諦已經瞭解,應當知曉並作證,這是以前從未聽聞的法,應當如理思維。』當時,生起了眼、智、明、覺。『再者,這苦滅道跡聖諦已經瞭解,應當修習,這是以前從未聽聞的法,應當如理思維。』當時,生起了眼、智、明、覺。 『再者,比丘們!這苦聖諦已經瞭解,瞭解后已經出離,這是以前從未聽聞的法,應當如理思維。』當時,生起了眼、智、明、覺。『再者,這苦集聖諦已經瞭解,已經斷除並出離,這是以前從未聽聞的法,應當如理思維。』當時,生起了眼、智、明、覺。 『再者,苦滅聖諦已經瞭解,已經作證並出離,這是以前從未聽聞的法,應當如理思維。』當時,生起了眼、智、明、覺。『再者,苦滅道跡聖諦已經瞭解,已經修習並出離,這是以前從未聽聞的法,應當如理思維。』當時,生起了眼、智、明、覺。 『諸位比丘!我對於這四聖諦的三轉十二行,如果沒有生起眼、智、明、覺,我終究不能在諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門等聽聞佛法的大眾中,被認為是解脫、出離、遠離,也不能自己證得無上正等正覺。』

English version At that time, the Blessed One addressed the five bhikkhus: 'This noble truth of suffering, a teaching never before heard, should be rightly contemplated.' Then, there arose the eye, knowledge, understanding, and realization. 'This origin of suffering, this cessation of suffering, this path leading to the cessation of suffering, noble truths never before heard, should be rightly contemplated.' Then, there arose the eye, knowledge, understanding, and realization. 'Furthermore, the wisdom of the noble truth of suffering should be further understood, a teaching never before heard, should be rightly contemplated.' Then, there arose the eye, knowledge, understanding, and realization. 'The noble truth of the origin of suffering, having been understood, should be abandoned, a teaching never before heard, should be rightly contemplated.' Then, there arose the eye, knowledge, understanding, and realization. 'Furthermore, the cessation of the origin of suffering, this noble truth of the cessation of suffering, having been understood, should be known and realized, a teaching never before heard, should be rightly contemplated.' Then, there arose the eye, knowledge, understanding, and realization. 'Furthermore, this noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, having been understood, should be cultivated, a teaching never before heard, should be rightly contemplated.' Then, there arose the eye, knowledge, understanding, and realization. 'Furthermore, bhikkhus! This noble truth of suffering, having been understood, having been understood and transcended, a teaching never before heard, should be rightly contemplated.' Then, there arose the eye, knowledge, understanding, and realization. 'Furthermore, this noble truth of the origin of suffering, having been understood, having been abandoned and transcended, a teaching never before heard, should be rightly contemplated.' Then, there arose the eye, knowledge, understanding, and realization. 'Furthermore, the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, having been understood, having been realized and transcended, a teaching never before heard, should be rightly contemplated.' Then, there arose the eye, knowledge, understanding, and realization. 'Furthermore, the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, having been understood, having been cultivated and transcended, a teaching never before heard, should be rightly contemplated.' Then, there arose the eye, knowledge, understanding, and realization. 'Bhikkhus! If, in these three rounds and twelve aspects of the four noble truths, the eye, knowledge, understanding, and realization had not arisen in me, I would not be considered liberated, transcended, or detached among the assembly of gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, and Brahmins who hear the Dharma, nor would I have attained the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment myself.'


。我已於四聖諦三轉十二行生眼、智、明、覺,故於諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門聞法眾中,得出、得脫,自證得成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」

爾時,世尊說是法時,尊者憍陳如及八萬諸天遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。

爾時,世尊告尊者憍陳如:「知法未?」

憍陳如白佛:「已知。世尊!」

復告尊者憍陳如:「知法未?」

拘鄰白佛:「已知。善逝!」

尊者拘鄰已知法故,是故名阿若拘鄰。

尊者阿若拘鄰知法已,地神舉聲唱言:「諸仁者!世尊于波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中三轉十二行法輪,諸沙門、婆羅門、諸天、魔、梵所未曾轉,多所饒益,多所安樂,哀愍世間,以義饒益,利安天人,增益諸天眾,減損阿修羅眾。」

地神唱已,聞虛空神天、四天王天、三十三天、炎魔天、兜率陀天、化樂天、他化自在天展轉傳唱,須臾之間,聞于梵天身。梵天乘聲唱言:「諸仁者,世尊于波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中三轉十二行法輪,諸沙門、婆羅門、諸天、魔、梵,及世間聞法未所曾轉,多所饒益,多所安樂,以義饒益諸天世人,增益諸天眾,減損阿修羅眾。」世尊于波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中轉法輪,是故此經名轉法輪經

現代漢語譯本:我已經通過對四聖諦的三轉十二行有了眼、智、明、覺,因此在諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門等聽法的人群中,我得以出離、解脫,並親自證得了無上正等正覺。 當時,世尊在宣說此法時,尊者憍陳如和八萬諸天遠離塵垢,獲得了清凈的法眼。 這時,世尊告訴尊者憍陳如:『你明白法了嗎?』 憍陳如回答佛說:『明白了,世尊!』 世尊又告訴尊者憍陳如:『你明白法了嗎?』 拘鄰回答佛說:『明白了,善逝!』 尊者拘鄰因為已經明白了法,所以被稱為阿若拘鄰。 尊者阿若拘鄰明白法后,地神高聲唱道:『各位仁者!世尊在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中,三轉十二行法輪,這是沙門、婆羅門、諸天、魔、梵從未轉過的,它能帶來許多利益,許多安樂,憐憫世間,以正義利益,利益安樂天人,增加諸天眾,減少阿修羅眾。』 地神唱完后,虛空神天、四天王天、三十三天、炎魔天、兜率陀天、化樂天、他化自在天依次傳唱,片刻之間,傳到了梵天。梵天乘著聲音唱道:『各位仁者,世尊在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中,三轉十二行法輪,這是沙門、婆羅門、諸天、魔、梵以及世間聽法者從未轉過的,它能帶來許多利益,許多安樂,以正義利益諸天世人,增加諸天眾,減少阿修羅眾。』世尊在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中轉法輪,因此這部經被稱為轉法輪經。

English version: 'I have, through the three turnings and twelve aspects of the Four Noble Truths, gained the eye, the knowledge, the wisdom, and the understanding. Therefore, among the gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, and the assembly of those who hear the Dharma, I have attained liberation, freedom, and have personally realized the unsurpassed, complete, and perfect enlightenment.' At that time, when the World Honored One was speaking this Dharma, Venerable Kondanna and eighty thousand gods were freed from defilement and gained the pure Dharma eye. Then, the World Honored One said to Venerable Kondanna, 'Do you understand the Dharma?' Kondanna replied to the Buddha, 'I understand, World Honored One!' The World Honored One again said to Venerable Kondanna, 'Do you understand the Dharma?' Kondanna replied to the Buddha, 'I understand, Blessed One!' Because Venerable Kondanna had understood the Dharma, he was therefore named Ajnata Kondanna. After Venerable Ajnata Kondanna understood the Dharma, the earth gods raised their voices and proclaimed, 'Good sirs! The World Honored One, in the Deer Park at Isipatana in the country of Varanasi, has turned the Wheel of Dharma with three turnings and twelve aspects, which has never been turned by any ascetics, Brahmins, gods, demons, or Brahmas. It brings much benefit, much happiness, compassion for the world, benefits with righteousness, benefits and brings happiness to gods and humans, increases the assembly of gods, and decreases the assembly of Asuras.' After the earth gods proclaimed this, the gods of the sky, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Thirty-three Heavens, the Yama Heavens, the Tusita Heavens, the Nirmanarati Heavens, and the Paranirmitavasavartin Heavens passed the message along, and in a short time, it reached the Brahma Heavens. The Brahma gods, riding on the sound, proclaimed, 'Good sirs, the World Honored One, in the Deer Park at Isipatana in the country of Varanasi, has turned the Wheel of Dharma with three turnings and twelve aspects, which has never been turned by any ascetics, Brahmins, gods, demons, Brahmas, or those in the world who hear the Dharma. It brings much benefit, much happiness, benefits gods and humans with righteousness, increases the assembly of gods, and decreases the assembly of Asuras.' The World Honored One turned the Wheel of Dharma in the Deer Park at Isipatana in the country of Varanasi, therefore this sutra is called the Turning of the Wheel of Dharma Sutra.

Monks! What is meant by having no obstacles? It means that the five lower fetters have been eliminated and known, this is called being free from obstacles. What is meant by leveling the city's moats? Ignorance is called a deep moat, and when it is eliminated and known, this is called leveling the city's moats. What is meant by crossing all dangers? It means the endless cycle of birth and death, ultimately reaching the end of suffering, this is called crossing all dangers. What is meant by breaking free from bonds? It means that craving has been eliminated and known. What is meant by establishing the banner of the noble? It means that conceit has been eliminated and known, this is called establishing the banner of the noble.'

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有四法成就,名曰大醫王者,所應王之具、王之分。何等為四?一者善知病,二者善知病源,三者善知病對治,四者善知治病已,當來更不動發。云何名良醫善知病?謂良醫善知如是如是種種病,是名良醫善知病。云何良醫善知病源?謂良醫善知此病因風起、癖陰起、涎唾起、眾冷起、因現事起、時節起,是名良醫善知病源。云何良醫善知病對治?謂良醫善知種種病,應塗藥、應吐、應下、應灌鼻、應熏、應取汗

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(三八八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四聖諦。哪四種呢?即苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。如果比丘對於苦聖諦已經知曉、已經理解,對於苦集聖諦已經知曉、已經斷除,對於苦滅聖諦已經知曉、已經證得,對於苦滅道跡聖諦已經知曉、已經修習,這就叫做比丘斷除五支,成就六分,守護於一,依止於四,捨棄諸諦,遠離四衢,證得諸覺想,自身所作,心善解脫,慧善解脫,純一清白,稱為上士。』

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(三八九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種法成就,稱為大醫王者,具備王者應有的條件和職責。哪四種呢?一是善於瞭解疾病,二是善於瞭解病因,三是善於瞭解治療疾病的方法,四是善於瞭解治好病後,將來不會再復發。怎樣稱為良醫善於瞭解疾病呢?就是良醫善於瞭解這樣那樣的各種疾病,這稱為良醫善於瞭解疾病。怎樣稱為良醫善於瞭解病因呢?就是良醫善於瞭解此病是因風而起、因癖陰而起、因涎唾而起、因眾冷而起、因現事而起、因時節而起,這稱為良醫善於瞭解病因。怎樣稱為良醫善於瞭解治療疾病的方法呢?就是良醫善於瞭解各種疾病,應該塗藥、應該吐、應該瀉、應該灌鼻、應該熏、應該取汗

English version After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(388)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at the Isipatana hermitage in the country of Varanasi.

At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'There are four noble truths. What are the four? They are the noble truth of suffering, the noble truth of the origin of suffering, the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering. If a bhikkhu has already known and understood the noble truth of suffering, has already known and eliminated the noble truth of the origin of suffering, has already known and realized the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and has already known and cultivated the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, this is called a bhikkhu who has eliminated the five aggregates, achieved six parts, guarded one, relied on four, abandoned all truths, departed from the four crossroads, realized all perceptions, done what is to be done by oneself, with a mind well liberated, with wisdom well liberated, purely and immaculately, and is called a superior person.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(389)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at the Isipatana hermitage in the country of Varanasi.

At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'There are four qualities that, when achieved, are called a great king of physicians, possessing the qualities and responsibilities of a king. What are the four? First, to be skilled in knowing the disease; second, to be skilled in knowing the cause of the disease; third, to be skilled in knowing the treatment for the disease; and fourth, to be skilled in knowing that after the disease is cured, it will not recur in the future. How is a good physician skilled in knowing the disease? It is that a good physician is skilled in knowing various diseases, this is called a good physician skilled in knowing the disease. How is a good physician skilled in knowing the cause of the disease? It is that a good physician is skilled in knowing that this disease arises from wind, from phlegm, from saliva, from cold, from present circumstances, or from the seasons, this is called a good physician skilled in knowing the cause of the disease. How is a good physician skilled in knowing the treatment for the disease? It is that a good physician is skilled in knowing that various diseases should be treated with ointments, should be purged, should be laxated, should be treated with nasal irrigation, should be fumigated, should be induced to sweat


。如是比種種對治,是名良醫善知對治。云何良醫善知治病已,于未來世永不動發?謂良醫善治種種病,令究竟除,于未來世永不復起,是名良醫善知治病,更不動發。

「如來、應、等正覺為大醫王,成就四德,療眾生病,亦復如是。云何為四?謂如來知此是苦聖諦如實知、此是苦集聖諦如實知、此是苦滅聖諦如實知、此是苦滅道跡聖諦如實知。諸比丘!彼世間良醫于生根本對治不如實知,老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦根本對治不如實知,如來、應、等正覺為大醫王,于生根本知對治如實知,于老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦根本對治如實知,是故如來、應、等正覺名大醫王。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(三九〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若諸沙門、婆羅門於此苦聖諦不如實知,此苦集聖諦不如實知,此苦滅聖諦不如實知,此苦滅道跡聖諦不如實知,此非沙門之沙門,非婆羅門之婆羅門,彼亦不于沙門義、婆羅門義見法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有

現代漢語譯本:像這樣種種的對治方法,就叫做良醫善於瞭解對治。什麼樣的良醫善於治病後,在未來世永遠不再復發呢?就是說良醫善於治療各種疾病,使之徹底根除,在未來世永遠不再復發,這就叫做良醫善於治病,不再復發。 『如來、應、等正覺』是大醫王,成就四種德行,治療眾生的疾病,也是這樣。哪四種呢?就是說如來如實地知道這是苦聖諦,如實地知道這是苦集聖諦,如實地知道這是苦滅聖諦,如實地知道這是苦滅道跡聖諦。各位比丘!那些世間的良醫對於生的根本對治不能如實地知道,對於老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦的根本對治也不能如實地知道。如來、應、等正覺是大醫王,對於生的根本知道如何對治,如實地知道;對於老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦的根本知道如何對治,如實地知道。所以如來、應、等正覺被稱為大醫王。 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (三九〇) 像我所聽到的那樣: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國的仙人居住處鹿野苑中。 當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『如果那些沙門、婆羅門對於這苦聖諦不能如實地知道,對於這苦集聖諦不能如實地知道,對於這苦滅聖諦不能如實地知道,對於這苦滅道跡聖諦不能如實地知道,這些人就不是沙門中的沙門,不是婆羅門中的婆羅門,他們也不能在沙門之義、婆羅門之義中見到法,自己知道並作證:『我已經生死已盡,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有後世的生命。』

English version: Such are the various treatments; this is called a good physician who is skilled in treatments. What kind of good physician, after curing a disease, will never have it recur in the future? It is said that a good physician is skilled in treating various diseases, causing them to be completely eradicated, so that they will never recur in the future. This is called a good physician who is skilled in treating diseases, and they will not recur. The 『Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha』 is the great king of physicians, who has achieved four virtues, and heals the diseases of sentient beings in the same way. What are the four? It is said that the Tathagata truly knows this is the Noble Truth of Suffering, truly knows this is the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, truly knows this is the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and truly knows this is the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering. Monks! Those worldly physicians do not truly know the fundamental treatment for birth, nor do they truly know the fundamental treatment for old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. The Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha is the great king of physicians, who truly knows the fundamental treatment for birth, and truly knows the fundamental treatment for old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. Therefore, the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha is called the great king of physicians. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (390) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at the Isipatana hermitage in the country of Varanasi. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 『If those ascetics and Brahmins do not truly know this Noble Truth of Suffering, do not truly know this Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, do not truly know this Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and do not truly know this Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, then these are not ascetics among ascetics, nor Brahmins among Brahmins. They also cannot see the Dharma in the meaning of ascetics and Brahmins, know for themselves and bear witness: 『My birth is exhausted, the pure conduct is established, what needs to be done is done, and I know for myself that there will be no future existence.』


。』

「若沙門、婆羅門於此苦聖諦如實知,此苦集聖諦如實知,此苦滅聖諦如實知,此苦滅道跡聖諦如實知,當知是沙門、婆羅門,沙門之沙門、婆羅門之婆羅門,于沙門義、婆羅門義見法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』是故,比丘!於四聖諦無間等當起增上欲,精勤堪能,方便修學。何等為四?謂苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中……廣說如上。差別者:「於四聖諦不如實知,當知是沙門、婆羅門,非沙門數、非婆羅門數;於四聖諦如實知者,是沙門數、是婆羅門數。」乃至……。

現代漢語譯本 『如果沙門或婆羅門能夠如實地瞭解這苦聖諦,如實地瞭解這苦集聖諦,如實地瞭解這苦滅聖諦,如實地瞭解這苦滅道跡聖諦,那麼應當知道,這位沙門或婆羅門,才是真正的沙門中的沙門,婆羅門中的婆羅門,在沙門和婆羅門的意義上,通過自己證悟而知曉:』我已不再受生,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有後世的生命。』因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦,你們應當不斷地生起強烈的願望,精勤努力,方便地修學。哪四種呢?就是苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (三九一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國的仙人住處鹿野苑中……內容廣說如上。不同之處在於:『如果對四聖諦不能如實地瞭解,應當知道,這位沙門或婆羅門,不屬於沙門之列,也不屬於婆羅門之列;如果對四聖諦能夠如實地瞭解,才屬於沙門之列,才屬於婆羅門之列。』乃至……。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (三九二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國的仙人住處鹿野苑中。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果沙門或婆羅門不能如實地瞭解苦聖諦,不能如實地瞭解苦集聖諦,不能如實地瞭解苦滅聖諦,不能如實地瞭解苦滅道跡聖諦,那麼應當知道,這位沙門或婆羅門不能從痛苦中解脫。如果沙門或婆羅門能夠如實地瞭解苦聖諦,能夠如實地瞭解苦集聖諦,能夠如實地瞭解苦滅聖諦,能夠如實地瞭解苦滅道跡聖諦,那麼應當知道,這位沙門或婆羅門能夠從痛苦中解脫。』

English version 'If a recluse or Brahmin truly understands this noble truth of suffering, truly understands this noble truth of the origin of suffering, truly understands this noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and truly understands this noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, then know that this recluse or Brahmin is a true recluse among recluses, a true Brahmin among Brahmins. In the sense of recluse and Brahmin, they know through their own realization: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』 Therefore, bhikkhus! You should constantly generate a strong desire for the Four Noble Truths, diligently strive, and skillfully practice. What are the four? They are the noble truth of suffering, the noble truth of the origin of suffering, the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering.』 After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (391) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at Isipatana in Varanasi... the details are as described above. The difference is: 'If one does not truly understand the Four Noble Truths, know that this recluse or Brahmin does not belong to the ranks of recluses or Brahmins; if one truly understands the Four Noble Truths, then one belongs to the ranks of recluses and Brahmins.' And so on... After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (392) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at Isipatana in Varanasi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'If a recluse or Brahmin does not truly understand the noble truth of suffering, does not truly understand the noble truth of the origin of suffering, does not truly understand the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and does not truly understand the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, then know that this recluse or Brahmin cannot be liberated from suffering. If a recluse or Brahmin truly understands the noble truth of suffering, truly understands the noble truth of the origin of suffering, truly understands the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and truly understands the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, then know that this recluse or Brahmin is liberated from suffering.'

「如於苦不解脫、解脫。如是舍惡趣不解脫、解脫,堪能捨戒退減,不捨戒退減,能自說得過人法自證,不能自說得過人法作證,能於此外求良福田,不能於此外求良福田。

「能於此外求大師,不能於此外求大師,不能越苦,堪能越苦,不堪能脫苦,堪能脫苦。」

如是上諸經重說悉繼以偈:

「若不知苦者,  及彼眾苦因,  一切諸苦法,  寂滅永無餘。  若不知道跡,  能思一切苦,  心解脫于苦,  慧解脫亦然。  不能越眾苦,  令苦究竟脫,  若如實知苦,  亦知眾苦因。  及一切諸苦,  永滅盡無餘,  若復如實知,  息苦之道跡。  意解脫具足,  慧解脫亦然,  堪能越眾苦,  究竟得解脫。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若善男子正信非家,出家學道,彼一切所應當知四聖諦法。何等為四?謂知苦聖諦、知苦集聖諦、知苦滅聖諦、知苦滅道跡聖諦

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 『如果對於苦不能解脫,或者能夠解脫。同樣,如果對於捨棄惡趣不能解脫,或者能夠解脫;能夠捨棄戒律而退減,或者不捨棄戒律而退減;能夠自稱證得超凡的境界,或者不能自稱證得超凡的境界;能夠從其他地方尋求良田福地,或者不能從其他地方尋求良田福地。 『能夠從其他地方尋求大師,或者不能從其他地方尋求大師;不能超越痛苦,或者能夠超越痛苦;不能脫離痛苦,或者能夠脫離痛苦。』 像這樣,以上各經文重複講述后,都以偈頌總結: 『如果不知道苦,以及眾苦的起因,一切諸苦的法則,寂滅永無餘。如果不知道道跡,能夠思惟一切苦,心解脫于苦,智慧解脫也是如此。不能超越眾苦,令苦究竟解脫,如果如實地知道苦,也知道眾苦的起因,以及一切諸苦,永遠滅盡無餘,如果又如實地知道,止息苦的道跡,意解脫具足,智慧解脫也是如此,能夠超越眾苦,究竟得到解脫。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (三九三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果善男子以正信離開家庭,出家修道,他們一切都應當知道四聖諦法。哪四種呢?就是知道苦聖諦、知道苦集聖諦、知道苦滅聖諦、知道苦滅道跡聖諦。』

English version After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. 'If one is not liberated from suffering, or is liberated. Likewise, if one is not liberated from abandoning evil destinies, or is liberated; capable of abandoning precepts and regressing, or not abandoning precepts and regressing; able to claim to have attained extraordinary states, or not able to claim to have attained extraordinary states; able to seek a field of merit from elsewhere, or not able to seek a field of merit from elsewhere. 'Able to seek a master from elsewhere, or not able to seek a master from elsewhere; not able to transcend suffering, or able to transcend suffering; not able to be released from suffering, or able to be released from suffering.' Thus, the above sutras, having been repeated, are all summarized with verses: 'If one does not know suffering, and the cause of all suffering, all the laws of suffering, cessation without remainder. If one does not know the path, able to contemplate all suffering, the mind is liberated from suffering, and so is wisdom liberation. Not able to transcend all suffering, to cause suffering to be completely released, if one truly knows suffering, also knows the cause of all suffering, and all suffering, forever extinguished without remainder, if one also truly knows, the path to the cessation of suffering, mind liberation is complete, and so is wisdom liberation, able to transcend all suffering, ultimately attaining liberation.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (393) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at the Isipatana hermitage in the country of Varanasi. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'If a good man, with right faith, leaves his home and goes forth to practice the Way, they should all know the Four Noble Truths. What are the four? They are knowing the Noble Truth of Suffering, knowing the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, knowing the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and knowing the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering.'


。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,修無間等,如此章句,一切四聖諦經,應當具說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

「如是知、如是見、如是無間等,悉應當說。又三結盡,得須陀洹,一切當知四聖諦。何等為四?謂知苦聖諦、知苦集聖諦、知苦滅聖諦、知苦滅道跡聖諦。如是當知、如是當見無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

「若三結盡,貪、恚、癡薄,得斯陀含,彼一切皆於四聖諦如實知故。何等為四?謂知苦聖諦、知苦集聖諦、知苦滅聖諦、知苦滅道跡聖諦。如是當知、如是當見、如是無間等,亦如是說。

「五下分結盡,生般涅槃阿那含,不還此世,彼一切知四聖諦。何等為四?知苦聖諦、知苦集聖諦、知苦滅聖諦、知苦滅道跡聖諦。如是知、如是見、如是無間等,亦如是說。

「若一切漏盡,無漏心解脫、慧解脫,見法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』彼一切悉知四聖諦。何等為四?謂知苦聖諦、知苦集聖諦、知苦滅聖諦、知苦滅道跡聖諦。如是知、如是見、如是無間等,亦如是說。

「若得辟支佛道證,彼一切知四聖諦故

因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦尚未達到無間等境界的人,應當勤加方便,修習無間等。像這樣的章句,一切關於四聖諦的經典,都應當完整地宣說。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 『如是知、如是見、如是無間等』,都應當宣說。又,三結斷盡,證得須陀洹果位,一切都應當了知四聖諦。什麼是四聖諦呢?即知苦聖諦、知苦集聖諦、知苦滅聖諦、知苦滅道跡聖諦。應當如是了知、如是見到無間等。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 如果三結斷盡,貪、嗔、癡薄弱,證得斯陀含果位,他們一切都是因為如實了知四聖諦的緣故。什麼是四聖諦呢?即知苦聖諦、知苦集聖諦、知苦滅聖諦、知苦滅道跡聖諦。應當如是了知、如是見到、如是無間等,也應當這樣宣說。 五下分結斷盡,生於般涅槃的阿那含,不再返回此世,他們一切都了知四聖諦。什麼是四聖諦呢?即知苦聖諦、知苦集聖諦、知苦滅聖諦、知苦滅道跡聖諦。應當如是知、如是見、如是無間等,也應當這樣宣說。 如果一切煩惱都斷盡,達到無漏心解脫、慧解脫,親證並自知:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不再受後有。』他們一切都了知四聖諦。什麼是四聖諦呢?即知苦聖諦、知苦集聖諦、知苦滅聖諦、知苦滅道跡聖諦。應當如是知、如是見、如是無間等,也應當這樣宣說。 如果證得辟支佛道,他們一切都是因爲了知四聖諦的緣故。

Therefore, bhikkhus! Those who have not yet attained uninterrupted understanding of the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive to cultivate uninterrupted understanding. Such passages, all sutras concerning the Four Noble Truths, should be fully explained. Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. 'Such is the knowledge, such is the vision, such is the uninterrupted understanding,' all should be explained. Furthermore, with the eradication of the three fetters, one attains the state of Sotapanna, and all should understand the Four Noble Truths. What are the four? They are the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering. One should understand thus, see thus, and have uninterrupted understanding thus. Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. If the three fetters are eradicated, and greed, hatred, and delusion are weakened, one attains the state of Sakadagami; all of them do so because they truly understand the Four Noble Truths. What are the four? They are the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering. One should understand thus, see thus, and have uninterrupted understanding thus, and it should be explained thus. With the eradication of the five lower fetters, one is born as an Anagami who attains Parinibbana, not returning to this world; all of them understand the Four Noble Truths. What are the four? They are the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering. One should know thus, see thus, and have uninterrupted understanding thus, and it should be explained thus. If all defilements are eradicated, one attains the taintless liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, realizing and knowing for oneself: 'Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more future existence.' All of them understand the Four Noble Truths. What are the four? They are the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering. One should know thus, see thus, and have uninterrupted understanding thus, and it should be explained thus. If one attains the enlightenment of a Paccekabuddha, all of them do so because they understand the Four Noble Truths.

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如日出,明相先起。如是正盡苦亦有前相起?謂知四聖諦。何等為四?知苦聖諦、知苦集聖諦、知苦滅聖諦、知苦滅道跡聖諦。」

現代漢語譯本: 什麼是四聖諦呢?是指了解苦聖諦、瞭解苦集聖諦、瞭解苦滅聖諦、瞭解苦滅道跡聖諦。像這樣瞭解、像這樣看見、像這樣無間斷地等等,也是這樣說的。 『如果證得無上正等正覺,那是因為他完全瞭解四聖諦的緣故。什麼是四聖諦呢?是指了解苦聖諦、瞭解苦集聖諦、瞭解苦滅聖諦、瞭解苦滅道跡聖諦。像這樣瞭解、像這樣看見、像這樣無間斷地等等,也是這樣說的。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (三九四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如太陽升起,光明先出現。同樣,要徹底滅除痛苦,也有一個先兆出現,那就是了解四聖諦。什麼是四聖諦呢?瞭解苦聖諦、瞭解苦集聖諦、瞭解苦滅聖諦、瞭解苦滅道跡聖諦。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 像這樣瞭解。像這樣看見。像這樣無間斷地等等,也是這樣說的。 (三九五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果太陽和月亮不出現在世間,那麼所有的星星也不會出現在世間,晝夜、半月、一月、時節、歲數、刻數、須臾,都不會顯現,世間將永遠黑暗,沒有光明照耀,只有漫長的黑夜,純粹的巨大黑暗痛苦顯現在世間。如果如來、應供、等正覺不出現在世間,不宣說苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦,世間將盲目黑暗,沒有光明照耀。這樣漫長的黑夜,純粹的巨大黑暗將顯現在世間。』

They are knowing the Noble Truth of Suffering, knowing the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, knowing the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and knowing the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering. Thus knowing, thus seeing, thus without interruption, and so it is said. 'If one attains the Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment, it is because they fully understand the Four Noble Truths. What are the four? They are knowing the Noble Truth of Suffering, knowing the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, knowing the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and knowing the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering. Thus knowing, thus seeing, thus without interruption, and so it is said.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (394) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at Isipatana in the country of Varanasi. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'Just as when the sun rises, the light appears first, so too, for the complete cessation of suffering, there is a precursor, which is knowing the Four Noble Truths. What are the four? Knowing the Noble Truth of Suffering, knowing the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, knowing the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and knowing the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Thus knowing. Thus seeing. Thus without interruption, and so it is said. (395) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at Isipatana in the country of Varanasi. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'If the sun and moon did not appear in the world, then all the stars would not appear in the world either, and day and night, half-month, month, seasons, years, moments, and instants would not be visible. The world would be forever dark, without light, only long nights, and pure great darkness and suffering would appear in the world. If the Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, did not appear in the world, and did not proclaim the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, the world would be blind and dark, without light. Thus, long nights, pure great darkness would appear in the world.'


「若日月出於世間,眾星亦現,晝夜、半月、一月、時節、歲數、克數、須臾,悉現世間,長夜明照,出於世間。如是,如來、應、等正覺出於世間,說苦聖諦現於世間,苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦現於世間,不復闇冥,長夜照明,純一智慧現於世間。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如日出,周行空中,壞諸闇冥,光明顯照。如是,聖弟子所有集法,一切滅已,離諸塵垢,得法眼生,與無間等,俱三結斷。所謂身見、戒取、疑,此三結盡,名須陀洹,不墮惡趣法,必定正覺,趣七有天人往生,作苦邊。彼聖弟子中間雖起憂苦,聽彼聖弟子離欲、惡不善法,有覺有觀,離生喜樂,初禪具足住。不見彼聖弟子有一法不斷,能令還生此世者,此則聖弟子得法眼之大義。是故,比丘於此四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,精進修學。」

Because there is no such possibility.』 『If one has not fully understood the noble truth of suffering, the noble truth of the origin of suffering, and the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and yet desires to attain the full understanding of the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, this is not possible.

Likewise, if one says that one has not fully understood the noble truth of suffering, the noble truth of the origin of suffering, and the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and yet desires to attain the full understanding of the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, this is not possible.』 『If someone says, 「I have already fully understood the noble truth of suffering, the noble truth of the origin of suffering, and the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and then I attain the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering,」 this statement is correct.

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「如小綿丸、小劫貝華丸,置四衢道頭,四方風吹,則隨風去向於一方。如是,若沙門、婆羅門于苦聖諦不如實知,于苦集聖諦、于苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不如實知,當知彼沙門、婆羅門常觀他面,常隨他說,以不如實知故,聞彼所說,趣說而受,當知此人不宿修習智慧故。

如是我聞:

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『就像小小的棉球或木棉花球,放在十字路口,四面八方的風吹來,就會隨風飄向一方。同樣,如果沙門或婆羅門對於苦聖諦不能如實瞭解,對於苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦也不能如實瞭解,應當知道這些沙門或婆羅門常常看別人的臉色,常常隨聲附和別人的說法,因為不能如實瞭解,聽到別人說的就跟著說,就接受,應當知道這些人是因為沒有長期修習智慧的緣故。』 『譬如因陀羅柱,用銅鐵製成,深深地埋在地下,四面八方的猛烈狂風也不能使它動搖。同樣,如果沙門或婆羅門對於苦聖諦能夠如實瞭解,對於苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦也能夠如實瞭解,應當知道這些沙門或婆羅門不會看別人的臉色,不會隨聲附和別人的說法。這些沙門或婆羅門智慧堅固,是因為他們本來就修習過,所以不會隨聲附和別人的說法。因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦應當勤奮努力,生起強烈的願望,精進地修習。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (三九九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國的仙人居住地鹿野苑中。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如石柱,長十六肘,八肘埋在地下,四面八方的風吹來,也不能使它動搖。同樣,如果沙門或婆羅門對於苦聖諦能夠如實瞭解,對於苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦也能夠如實瞭解,這些沙門或婆羅門到了辯論的場所,沒有人能夠駁倒他們。他們的心解脫、慧解脫,能夠使其他的沙門或婆羅門反而感到憂愁痛苦。像這樣如實瞭解、如實看見,都是因為前世長期修習的緣故,使得他們的智慧不可動搖。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Just like a small cotton ball or a small kapok flower ball, placed at the head of a crossroads, the wind from all four directions will blow it away, causing it to go in one direction. Similarly, if a śramaṇa or a brahmin does not truly understand the Noble Truth of Suffering, nor the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, nor the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, nor the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, it should be known that these śramaṇas or brahmins are always looking at the faces of others, always following what others say. Because they do not truly understand, they hear what others say and then follow and accept it. It should be known that these people are because they have not cultivated wisdom for a long time.' 'It is like an Indra pillar, made of copper and iron, deeply buried in the ground, the fierce winds from all four directions cannot make it move. Similarly, if a śramaṇa or a brahmin truly understands the Noble Truth of Suffering, and truly understands the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, it should be known that these śramaṇas or brahmins do not look at the faces of others, nor do they follow what others say. These śramaṇas or brahmins have firm wisdom because they have cultivated it from the beginning, so they do not follow what others say. Therefore, bhikkhus! You should diligently strive for the Four Noble Truths, generate a strong desire, and diligently practice them.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (399) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at the Isipatana hermitage in the country of Varanasi. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'It is like a stone pillar, sixteen cubits long, with eight cubits buried in the ground, the wind from all four directions cannot make it move. Similarly, if a śramaṇa or a brahmin truly understands the Noble Truth of Suffering, and truly understands the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, these śramaṇas or brahmins, when they go to places of debate, no one can refute them. Their minds are liberated, and their wisdom is liberated, and they can cause other śramaṇas or brahmins to feel sorrow and pain. Such true understanding and true seeing are all because of long-term cultivation in past lives, which makes their wisdom unshakeable.'

English version: 'Therefore, bhikkhus! You should diligently strive with skillful means for the Four Noble Truths, arouse intense desire, and practice diligently.' After the Buddha finished speaking this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (400) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at Isipatana in Varanasi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'Suppose a person's head clothing were on fire, they should arouse intense desire and quickly extinguish it.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'Do not say that! You should put aside the head clothing, and for the Four Noble Truths, arouse intense desire, diligently strive with skillful means, and practice without interruption. Which four? They are the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering. If these have not been practiced without interruption, you should diligently strive with skillful means, and practice without interruption. Why is that? Bhikkhus! The long night is ablaze with hell, the animal realm, and the realm of hungry ghosts. Bhikkhus! If you do not see the extreme suffering, like the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, and have not practiced them without interruption, then that bhikkhu should endure suffering, pleasure, sorrow, and grief, and for the Four Noble Truths, diligently strive with skillful means, and practice without interruption. You should learn this way.' After the Buddha finished speaking this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (401) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at Isipatana in Varanasi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'Suppose a man lives to be a hundred years old, and someone says to him: 『If this man wishes to hear the Dharma, he must endure suffering three times a day. In the morning, he must endure the pain of a hundred spear thrusts, and at noon and in the evening, likewise. In one day, he must endure the pain of three hundred spear thrusts. He must endure this every day for a hundred years, and then he will be able to hear the Dharma and attain uninterrupted understanding. Would you be able to do this?』 'Then, that man, for the sake of hearing the Dharma, would be fully capable of enduring it.'


。所以者何?人生於世,長夜受苦,有時地獄,有時畜生,有時餓鬼,於三惡道空受眾苦,亦不聞法,是故我今為無間等故,不以終身受三百槍為大苦也。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未得無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四〇二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「於四聖諦平等正覺,名為如來、應、等正覺。何等為四?所謂苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。於此四聖諦平等正覺,名為如來、應、等正覺。是故,諸比丘!於四聖諦未無間者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四〇三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在摩竭國人間遊行,于王舍城波羅利弗是中間竹林聚落,國王于中造福德舍。爾時,世尊與諸大眾于中宿止。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我與汝等於四聖諦無知、無見、無隨順覺、無隨順受者,應當長夜驅馳生死。何等為四?謂苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。我與汝等於四聖諦無知、無見、無隨順覺、無隨順受者,應當長夜驅馳生死

現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?人生在世,漫漫長夜都在受苦,有時墮入地獄,有時淪為畜生,有時變成餓鬼,在三惡道中白白遭受各種痛苦,也聽不到佛法。因此,我爲了達到無間等境界,不認為終身遭受三百次槍刺是巨大的痛苦。所以,比丘們!對於四聖諦尚未達到無間等境界的人,應當勤奮努力,生起強烈的願望,學習達到無間等境界。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四〇二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國的仙人住處鹿野苑中。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『對於四聖諦平等正覺,稱為如來、應供、等正覺。哪四種呢?就是苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。對於這四聖諦平等正覺,稱為如來、應供、等正覺。因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦尚未達到無間等境界的人,應當勤奮努力,生起強烈的願望,學習達到無間等境界。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四〇三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀在摩竭國的人間游化,在王舍城和波羅利弗之間的竹林聚落,國王在那裡建造了福德舍。當時,世尊和大眾在那裡住宿。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我和你們對於四聖諦沒有認知、沒有見解、沒有隨順覺悟、沒有隨順領受的人,應當長久地在生死中奔波。哪四種呢?就是苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。我和你們對於四聖諦沒有認知、沒有見解、沒有隨順覺悟、沒有隨順領受的人,應當長久地在生死中奔波。』

English version: What is the reason for this? Life in this world is a long night of suffering. Sometimes one is in hell, sometimes an animal, sometimes a hungry ghost. In the three evil realms, one endures all kinds of suffering in vain, and does not hear the Dharma. Therefore, for the sake of attaining the state of non-interruption, I do not consider enduring three hundred spear thrusts throughout my life to be a great suffering. Therefore, monks! Those who have not attained the state of non-interruption regarding the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive, arouse strong desire, and learn to attain the state of non-interruption. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (402) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at the hermitage of the ascetics in the country of Varanasi. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'One who has attained equal and correct enlightenment regarding the Four Noble Truths is called a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Samyak-sambuddha. What are the four? They are the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cause of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering. One who has attained equal and correct enlightenment regarding these Four Noble Truths is called a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Samyak-sambuddha. Therefore, monks! Those who have not attained the state of non-interruption regarding the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive, arouse strong desire, and learn to attain the state of non-interruption.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (403) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the human realm of Magadha, in a bamboo grove settlement between Rajagriha and Pataliputra, where the king had built a meritorious dwelling. At that time, the World Honored One and the assembly stayed there. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'Those of us who have no knowledge, no understanding, no following of the realization, and no following of the acceptance of the Four Noble Truths should wander in samsara for a long time. What are the four? They are the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cause of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering. Those of us who have no knowledge, no understanding, no following of the realization, and no following of the acceptance of the Four Noble Truths should wander in samsara for a long time.'


。以我及汝於此苦聖諦順知、順入,斷諸有流,盡諸生死,不受後有。于苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦順知、順入,斷諸有流,盡諸生死,不受後有。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,修無間等。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「我常與汝等,  長夜涉生死,  不見聖諦故,  大苦日增長。  若見四聖諦,  斷有大流海,  生死永已除,  不復受後生。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四〇四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在摩竭國人間遊行,王舍城波羅利弗是中間竹林聚落,大王于中作福德舍。爾時,世尊與諸大眾于中止宿。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「汝等當行,共至申恕林。」

爾時,世尊與諸大眾到申恕林,坐樹下。

爾時,世尊手把樹葉,告諸比丘:「此手中葉為多耶?大林樹葉為多?」

比丘白佛:「世尊!手中樹葉甚少,彼大林中樹葉無量,百千億萬倍,乃至算數譬類不可為比。」

「如是,諸比丘!我成等正覺,自所見法,為人定說者,如手中樹葉。所以者何?彼法義饒益、法饒益、梵行饒益、明、慧、正覺、向于涅槃

現代漢語譯本:'我與你一同對這苦聖諦順遂地瞭解、順遂地進入,斷絕所有存在的流轉,終結所有生死,不再承受後有。對於苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦順遂地瞭解、順遂地進入,斷絕所有存在的流轉,終結所有生死,不再承受後有。因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦尚未達到無間等境界的人,應當勤奮努力,生起增上的慾望,修習無間等。' 現代漢語譯本:'那時,世尊即說偈語道:' 現代漢語譯本:'我常常與你們,長久地經歷生死,因為不瞭解聖諦的緣故,巨大的痛苦日益增長。如果瞭解四聖諦,就能斷絕存在的巨大流轉之海,生死永遠被消除,不再承受後生。' 現代漢語譯本:'佛陀說完此經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。' 現代漢語譯本:'(四〇四)' 現代漢語譯本:'如是我聞:' 現代漢語譯本:'一時,佛陀在摩竭國的人間游化,在王舍城波羅利弗之間的竹林聚落,大王在那裡建造了福德舍。當時,世尊與大眾在那裡停留住宿。' 現代漢語譯本:'那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『你們應當前往,一同去申恕林。』' 現代漢語譯本:'那時,世尊與大眾到達申恕林,坐在樹下。' 現代漢語譯本:'那時,世尊手拿樹葉,告訴眾比丘:『這手中的樹葉多呢?還是大林中的樹葉多呢?』' 現代漢語譯本:'比丘們回答佛陀:『世尊!手中的樹葉很少,那大林中的樹葉無量,是百千億萬倍,乃至用算數譬喻都無法相比。』' 現代漢語譯本:'『是的,比丘們!我成就等正覺,自己所見到的法,為他人確定的說法,就像手中的樹葉一樣。這是為什麼呢?因為那些法義有饒益、法有饒益、梵行有饒益、明、慧、正覺、趨向涅槃。』

English version: 'With me and you, having thoroughly understood and entered into this noble truth of suffering, we sever all flows of existence, end all births and deaths, and no longer receive future existence. Having thoroughly understood and entered into the noble truths of the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path leading to the cessation of suffering, we sever all flows of existence, end all births and deaths, and no longer receive future existence. Therefore, bhikkhus! Those who have not yet attained uninterrupted equality in the four noble truths should diligently strive, arouse increased desire, and cultivate uninterrupted equality.' English version: 'At that time, the World-Honored One spoke in verse:' English version: 'I have always been with you, wandering through births and deaths for a long time. Because we do not see the noble truths, great suffering increases daily. If we see the four noble truths, we can sever the great ocean of the flow of existence. Birth and death will be forever eliminated, and we will no longer receive future births.' English version: 'After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.' English version: '(404)' English version: 'Thus have I heard:' English version: 'At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the human realm of Magadha, in the bamboo grove settlement between Rajagriha and Pataliputra, where the great king had built a meritorious dwelling. At that time, the World-Honored One and the great assembly stayed there.' English version: 'Then, the World-Honored One said to the bhikkhus, 『You should go together to the Simsapa forest.』' English version: 'Then, the World-Honored One and the great assembly arrived at the Simsapa forest and sat under a tree.' English version: 'Then, the World-Honored One, holding leaves in his hand, said to the bhikkhus, 『Are there more leaves in this hand, or more leaves in the great forest?』' English version: 'The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha, 『World-Honored One! The leaves in your hand are very few, while the leaves in that great forest are immeasurable, hundreds of thousands of millions of times more, even beyond comparison by calculation or analogy.』' English version: '『So it is, bhikkhus! The Dharma that I have realized upon attaining perfect enlightenment, and which I have definitively taught to others, is like the leaves in my hand. Why is that? Because those teachings are beneficial in meaning, beneficial in Dharma, beneficial in the holy life, in clarity, wisdom, perfect enlightenment, and leading to Nirvana.』'


。如大林樹葉,如我成等正覺,自知正法,所不說者,亦復如是。所以者何?彼法非義饒益,非法饒益,非梵行饒益、明、慧、正覺、正向涅槃故。是故,諸比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四〇五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離獼猴池側重閣講堂。

爾時,尊者阿難晨朝著衣持缽,入毗舍離城乞食。時,有眾多離車童子晨朝從城內出,至精舍門,持弓箭,競射精舍門孔,箭箭皆入門孔。

尊者阿難見已,以為奇特,彼諸離車童子能作如是難事。入城乞食,還舉衣缽,洗足已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我今晨朝著衣持缽,入毗舍離城乞食,見有眾多離車童子從城內出,至精舍門,競射門孔,箭箭皆入。我作是念:『此甚奇特!諸離車童子能為難事。』」

佛告阿難:「于意云何?離車童子競射門孔,箭箭皆入,此為難耶?破一毛為百分,而射一毛分,箭箭悉中,此為難耶?」

阿難白佛:「破一毛百分,射一分之毛,箭箭悉中,此則為難。」

佛告阿難:「未若於苦聖諦生如實知,此則甚難

現代漢語譯本:就像大林樹葉一樣,就像我成就正等正覺,自己知道正法,所沒有說的,也是這樣。為什麼呢?因為那些法不是爲了義理的利益,不是爲了法的利益,不是爲了梵行的利益,不是爲了明、慧、正覺、正向涅槃的利益。因此,各位比丘!對於四聖諦還沒有完全通達的人,應當勤奮努力,生起增上的慾望,學習完全通達。 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (四〇五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,尊者阿難早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入毗舍離城乞食。當時,有很多離車族的童子早上從城裡出來,到精舍門口,拿著弓箭,比賽射精舍的門孔,每一支箭都射入門孔。 尊者阿難看到后,覺得很奇特,那些離車族的童子竟然能做出這樣難的事情。進入城裡乞食,回來收好衣缽,洗完腳后,前往佛陀那裡,向佛陀的腳稽首,退到一邊站著,對佛陀說:『世尊!我今天早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入毗舍離城乞食,看到有很多離車族的童子從城裡出來,到精舍門口,比賽射門孔,每一支箭都射入。我這樣想:『這真是太奇特了!這些離車族的童子竟然能做出這樣難的事情。』 佛陀告訴阿難:『你認為怎麼樣?離車族的童子比賽射門孔,每一支箭都射入,這算難嗎?把一根毛髮分成一百份,然後射其中一份,每一支箭都射中,這算難嗎?』 阿難對佛陀說:『把一根毛髮分成一百份,射其中一份,每一支箭都射中,這才是難事。』 佛陀告訴阿難:『這還不如對於苦聖諦生起如實的瞭解,這才是最難的。』

English version: Just like the leaves of a great forest, just as I have attained perfect enlightenment, knowing the true Dharma myself, what I have not spoken is also like that. Why is that? Because those teachings are not for the benefit of meaning, not for the benefit of the Dharma, not for the benefit of the holy life, not for clarity, wisdom, perfect enlightenment, or the right path to Nirvana. Therefore, monks! Those who have not yet fully understood the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive, generate increased desire, and learn to fully understand. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (405) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the multi-storied hall by the Monkey Pond in Vaishali. Then, the venerable Ananda, in the morning, having dressed and taken his bowl, entered the city of Vaishali to beg for alms. At that time, many Licchavi youths came out of the city in the morning, went to the gate of the monastery, and, holding bows and arrows, competed in shooting at the gate hole, each arrow entering the hole. The venerable Ananda, having seen this, thought it was remarkable that those Licchavi youths could do such a difficult thing. Having entered the city to beg for alms, returned, put away his robe and bowl, washed his feet, and went to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and stood to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir! This morning, having dressed and taken my bowl, I entered the city of Vaishali to beg for alms, and saw many Licchavi youths coming out of the city, going to the gate of the monastery, competing in shooting at the gate hole, each arrow entering. I thought: 'This is truly remarkable! These Licchavi youths can do such a difficult thing.' The Buddha said to Ananda: 'What do you think? Is it difficult for the Licchavi youths to compete in shooting at the gate hole, each arrow entering? Or is it more difficult to break a hair into a hundred parts, and then shoot at one of those parts, each arrow hitting the mark?' Ananda said to the Buddha: 'To break a hair into a hundred parts, and then shoot at one of those parts, each arrow hitting the mark, that is difficult.' The Buddha said to Ananda: 'That is not as difficult as truly understanding the Noble Truth of Suffering, that is the most difficult.'


。如是,苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實知見,此則甚難。」

爾時,世尊而說偈言:

「一毛為百分,  射一分甚難,  觀一一苦陰,  非我難亦然。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四〇六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住獼猴池側重閣講堂。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如大地悉成大海,有一盲龜壽無量劫,百年一出其頭,海中有浮木,止有一孔,漂流海浪,隨風東西。盲龜百年一出其頭,當得遇此孔不?」

阿難白佛:「不能。世尊!所以者何?此盲龜若至海東,浮木隨風,或至海西,南、北四維圍繞亦爾,不必相得。」

佛告阿難:「盲龜浮木,雖復差違,或復相得。愚癡凡夫漂流五趣,暫復人身,甚難於彼。所以者何?彼諸眾生不行其義、不行法、不行善、不行真實,展轉殺害,強者陵弱,造無量惡故。是故,比丘!於四聖諦當未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:『如果這樣,要如實知見苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦,那就非常困難。』 當時,世尊說了偈語: 『一根毛髮分成一百份,射中其中一份都很難, 觀察每一個苦陰,認為『非我』也同樣困難。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四〇六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如大地都變成大海,有一隻盲龜壽命無量劫,每百年才探出頭一次,海中有一塊浮木,只有一個孔,漂流在海浪中,隨風東西飄蕩。這隻盲龜每百年探出頭一次,能遇到這個孔嗎?』 阿難對佛說:『不能。世尊!為什麼呢?這隻盲龜如果到了海的東邊,浮木隨風,或許到了海的西邊,南、北四方也是這樣,不一定能相遇。』 佛告訴阿難:『盲龜和浮木,雖然相遇的機會很小,但或許還能相遇。愚癡的凡夫漂流在五道輪迴中,暫時得到人身,比那還要困難。為什麼呢?那些眾生不行正義、不行佛法、不行善事、不行真實,互相殘殺,強者欺凌弱者,造作無量的惡業。所以,比丘們!對於四聖諦還沒有達到無間等境界的人,應當勤奮努力,生起增上欲,學習無間等。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

English version: 'If so, to truly know and see the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, that is extremely difficult.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'To divide a hair into a hundred parts, to shoot one part is very difficult, To observe each aggregate of suffering, and to see it as 'not-self' is equally difficult.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (406) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the multi-storied hall by the side of the Monkey Pond. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'Suppose the entire earth became an ocean, and there was a blind turtle with a lifespan of countless eons, surfacing its head once every hundred years. In the ocean, there was a piece of driftwood with only one hole, drifting in the waves, carried east and west by the wind. Would this blind turtle, surfacing its head once every hundred years, be able to encounter this hole?' Ananda said to the Buddha: 'It would not, World Honored One! Why is that? If this blind turtle were to reach the east of the sea, the driftwood, carried by the wind, might reach the west of the sea, and the same would be true for the north and south, they would not necessarily meet.' The Buddha told Ananda: 'Although the blind turtle and the driftwood are unlikely to meet, they might still meet. For foolish ordinary beings drifting in the five realms of existence, to temporarily obtain a human body is even more difficult than that. Why is that? Those beings do not practice righteousness, do not practice the Dharma, do not practice good deeds, do not practice truth, they kill each other, the strong oppress the weak, and they create immeasurable evil deeds. Therefore, monks! For those who have not yet attained the state of non-interruption regarding the Four Noble Truths, you should diligently strive, arouse increased desire, and learn non-interruption.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。時,有眾多比丘集於食堂,思惟世間而思惟。

爾時,世尊知諸比丘心之所念,往詣食堂,敷座而坐,告諸比丘:「汝等比丘慎莫思惟世間思惟。所以者何?世間思惟非義饒益,非法饒益,非梵行饒益,非智、非覺,不順涅槃。汝等當正思惟:『此苦聖諦、此苦集聖諦、此苦滅聖諦、此苦滅道跡聖諦。』所以者何?如此思惟則義饒益、法饒益、梵行饒益,正智、正覺、正向涅槃。

「過去世時,有一士夫出王舍城,于拘絺羅池側正坐思惟——世間思惟。當思惟時,見四種軍——象軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,無量無數,皆悉入於一藕孔中。見已,作是念:『我狂失性,世間所無,而今見之。』爾時,去池不遠,更有大眾一處聚集。時,彼士夫詣大眾所語言:『諸人,我今發狂,我今失性,世間所無,而我今見,如上廣說。』時,彼大眾皆謂士夫狂發失性,世間所無,而彼見之。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,有許多比丘聚集在食堂,思索世俗之事。

這時,世尊知道比丘們心中的想法,就來到食堂,鋪好座位坐下,告訴比丘們:『你們比丘不要思索世俗之事。為什麼呢?因為思索世俗之事,沒有意義,沒有法益,沒有梵行之益,不能增長智慧,不能覺悟,不順應涅槃。你們應當正確地思索:『這是苦聖諦,這是苦集聖諦,這是苦滅聖諦,這是苦滅之道聖諦。』為什麼呢?因為這樣思索,才有意義,才有法益,才有梵行之益,才能增長正智,才能正覺,才能趨向涅槃。

『過去世時,有一個人走出王舍城,在拘絺羅池邊端坐思索——思索世俗之事。當他思索時,看見四種軍隊——象軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,無量無數,都進入一個藕孔中。看見后,他這樣想:『我一定是瘋了,失去了本性,世間不可能有這樣的事,而我今天卻看見了。』當時,離池塘不遠的地方,還有一群人聚集在一起。那個人就走到人群中說:『各位,我今天發瘋了,我失去了本性,世間不可能有這樣的事,而我今天卻看見了,』就像上面所說的那樣。當時,那些人都認為這個人是瘋了,失去了本性,世間不可能有這樣的事,而他卻看見了。』

佛告訴比丘們:『然而那個人並沒有瘋,也沒有失去本性,他所見的是真實的。

English version The Miscellaneous Āgama Sutra, Scroll 15 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 02, No. 0099, Miscellaneous Āgama Sutra

The Miscellaneous Āgama Sutra, Scroll 16

Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Guṇabhadra of Tianzhu during the Song Dynasty, Chapter Four of the Third Section of the Miscellaneous Causes Recitation

(407)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rājagṛha. At that time, many monks gathered in the dining hall, contemplating worldly matters.

Then, the World-Honored One, knowing the thoughts in the minds of the monks, went to the dining hall, spread out a seat, and sat down. He told the monks: 'Monks, you should not contemplate worldly matters. Why is that? Because contemplating worldly matters is not beneficial in terms of meaning, not beneficial in terms of the Dharma, not beneficial in terms of the Brahmacarya, does not lead to wisdom, does not lead to awakening, and does not lead to Nirvana. You should contemplate correctly: 『This is the Noble Truth of Suffering, this is the Noble Truth of the Arising of Suffering, this is the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, this is the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering.』 Why is that? Because such contemplation is beneficial in terms of meaning, beneficial in terms of the Dharma, beneficial in terms of the Brahmacarya, leads to right wisdom, leads to right awakening, and leads to Nirvana.

'In the past, there was a man who left Rājagṛha and sat by the side of the Kucila Pond, contemplating—contemplating worldly matters. While he was contemplating, he saw four kinds of armies—elephant armies, horse armies, chariot armies, and infantry armies, immeasurable and countless, all entering into a single lotus root hole. Having seen this, he thought: 『I must be mad, I have lost my mind, such a thing is impossible in the world, yet I have seen it today.』 At that time, not far from the pond, there was another crowd gathered. The man went to the crowd and said: 『Everyone, I have gone mad today, I have lost my mind, such a thing is impossible in the world, yet I have seen it today,』 as described above. At that time, the crowd all thought that the man was mad, had lost his mind, such a thing was impossible in the world, yet he had seen it.』

The Buddha told the monks: 『However, that man was not mad, nor had he lost his mind, what he saw was real.』


。所以者何?爾時,去拘絺羅池不遠,有諸天阿修羅興四種軍,戰于空中。時,諸天得勝,阿修羅軍敗,退入彼池一藕孔中。是故,比丘!汝等慎莫思惟世間。所以者何?世間思惟非義饒益,非法饒益,非梵行饒益,非智、非覺,非正向涅槃,當思惟四聖諦。何等為四?苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四〇八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有眾多比丘集於食堂,作如是論,或謂世間有常,或謂世間無常、世間有常無常、世間非有常非無常,世間有邊、世間無邊、世間有邊無邊、世間非有邊非無邊,是命是身、命異身異,如來死後有、如來死後無、如來死後有無、如來死後非有非無。

爾時,世尊一處坐禪,以天耳聞諸比丘集於食堂論議之聲。聞已,往詣食堂,于大眾前敷座而坐,告諸比丘:「汝等比丘眾多聚集,何所言說?」

時,諸比丘白佛言:「世尊!我等眾多比丘集此食堂,作如是論,或說有常,或說無常……」如上廣說。

佛告比丘:「汝等莫作如是論議。所以者何?如此論者,非義饒益,非法饒益,非梵行饒益,非智、非正覺,非正向涅槃

這是什麼原因呢?當時,在離拘絺羅池不遠的地方,有天人和阿修羅興起四種軍隊,在空中交戰。當時,天人得勝,阿修羅軍隊戰敗,退入那個池塘的一個藕孔中。因此,比丘們!你們要謹慎,不要思惟世間。這是什麼原因呢?思惟世間對於義理沒有益處,對於佛法沒有益處,對於清凈的修行沒有益處,不能增長智慧、覺悟,不能正確地導向涅槃,應當思惟四聖諦。哪四種呢?苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (四〇八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有許多比丘聚集在食堂,進行這樣的討論,有的說世間是常住的,有的說世間是無常的,有的說世間既是常住又是無常的,有的說世間既不是常住也不是無常的,有的說世間有邊際,有的說世間沒有邊際,有的說世間既有邊際又沒有邊際,有的說世間既不是有邊際也不是沒有邊際,有的說生命就是身體,有的說生命和身體是不同的,有的說如來死後存在,有的說如來死後不存在,有的說如來死後既存在又不存在,有的說如來死後既不是存在也不是不存在。 當時,世尊在一個地方禪坐,用天耳聽到了眾比丘在食堂議論的聲音。聽完后,前往食堂,在大眾面前鋪設座位坐下,告訴眾比丘:『你們這些比丘聚集在一起,在談論什麼呢?』 當時,眾比丘對佛陀說:『世尊!我們這些比丘聚集在這個食堂,進行這樣的討論,有的說世間是常住的,有的說世間是無常的……』像上面所說的詳細內容。 佛陀告訴比丘們:『你們不要進行這樣的討論。這是什麼原因呢?像這樣的討論,對於義理沒有益處,對於佛法沒有益處,對於清凈的修行沒有益處,不能增長智慧、正覺,不能正確地導向涅槃。』

What is the reason for this? At that time, not far from the Kucira Pond, there were gods and asuras who raised four kinds of armies and fought in the air. At that time, the gods were victorious, and the asura army was defeated and retreated into a lotus root hole in that pond. Therefore, monks! You should be careful and not contemplate the world. What is the reason for this? Contemplating the world is not beneficial to the meaning, not beneficial to the Dharma, not beneficial to pure practice, does not increase wisdom, enlightenment, and does not correctly lead to Nirvana. You should contemplate the Four Noble Truths. What are the four? The Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cause of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (408) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, many monks gathered in the dining hall and engaged in such discussions. Some said the world is permanent, some said the world is impermanent, some said the world is both permanent and impermanent, some said the world is neither permanent nor impermanent, some said the world has boundaries, some said the world has no boundaries, some said the world has both boundaries and no boundaries, some said the world is neither with boundaries nor without boundaries, some said life is the body, some said life and body are different, some said the Tathagata exists after death, some said the Tathagata does not exist after death, some said the Tathagata both exists and does not exist after death, some said the Tathagata neither exists nor does not exist after death. At that time, the World Honored One was meditating in a certain place, and with his divine ear, he heard the sound of the monks discussing in the dining hall. Having heard this, he went to the dining hall, spread out a seat in front of the assembly, and sat down, telling the monks: 'What are you monks gathered together discussing?' At that time, the monks said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! We monks have gathered in this dining hall and are having such discussions. Some say the world is permanent, some say the world is impermanent...' as described in detail above. The Buddha told the monks: 'You should not engage in such discussions. What is the reason for this? Such discussions are not beneficial to the meaning, not beneficial to the Dharma, not beneficial to pure practice, do not increase wisdom, enlightenment, and do not correctly lead to Nirvana.'


。汝等比丘應如是論議:『此苦聖諦、此苦集聖諦、此苦滅聖諦、此苦滅道跡聖諦。』所以者何?如是論議,是義饒益、法饒益、梵行饒益、正智、正覺、正向涅槃。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四〇九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,有眾多比丘集於食堂,或有貪覺覺者,或瞋覺覺者,或害覺覺者。

爾時,世尊知諸比丘心之所念,往詣食堂,敷坐具于眾前坐,告諸比丘:「汝等莫起貪覺覺,莫起恚覺覺,莫起害覺覺。所以者何?此諸覺非義饒益,非法饒益,非梵行饒益,非智、非正覺,不向涅槃。汝等當起苦聖諦覺、苦集聖諦覺、苦滅聖諦覺、苦滅道跡聖諦覺。所以者何?此四聖諦覺,義饒益、法饒益、梵行饒益、正智、正覺、向于涅槃。是故,諸比丘!於四聖諦當勤方便,起增上欲,正智正念,精進修學。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四一〇)

如是我聞:

一時……如上廣說。差別者,起親里覺、國土人民覺、不死覺,乃至聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:

『你們這些比丘應該這樣討論:』這是苦聖諦,這是苦集聖諦,這是苦滅聖諦,這是導致苦滅的道跡聖諦。』為什麼呢?因為這樣的討論,有益於義理,有益於佛法,有益於清凈的修行,能帶來正確的智慧、正確的覺悟,並導向涅槃。因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦,如果還沒有完全通達,就應當勤奮努力,生起強烈的願望,學習完全通達。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四〇九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,有許多比丘聚集在食堂,其中一些人心中生起貪慾的念頭,一些人生起嗔恨的念頭,還有一些人生起傷害的念頭。 這時,世尊知道眾比丘心中的想法,就來到食堂,在大家面前鋪好座位坐下,告訴比丘們:『你們不要生起貪慾的念頭,不要生起嗔恨的念頭,不要生起傷害的念頭。為什麼呢?因為這些念頭無益於義理,無益於佛法,無益於清凈的修行,不能帶來智慧,不能帶來正確的覺悟,也不能導向涅槃。你們應當生起對苦聖諦的覺悟,對苦集聖諦的覺悟,對苦滅聖諦的覺悟,對導致苦滅的道跡聖諦的覺悟。為什麼呢?因為這四聖諦的覺悟,有益於義理,有益於佛法,有益於清凈的修行,能帶來正確的智慧、正確的覺悟,並導向涅槃。因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦,應當勤奮努力,生起強烈的願望,以正確的智慧和正念,精進地修學。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四一〇) 如是我聞: 一時……如上所說。不同之處在於,生起對親人的念頭,對國家人民的念頭,對不死的念頭,乃至聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version:

'You monks should discuss thus: 'This is the noble truth of suffering, this is the noble truth of the origin of suffering, this is the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, this is the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering.' Why is that? Because such discussion is beneficial to meaning, beneficial to the Dharma, beneficial to the holy life, leads to right knowledge, right awakening, and right direction towards Nirvana. Therefore, monks! If you have not yet fully understood the Four Noble Truths, you should strive diligently, generate a strong desire, and learn to fully understand them.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (409) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, many monks were gathered in the dining hall, some with thoughts of greed, some with thoughts of anger, and some with thoughts of harm. Then, the Blessed One, knowing the thoughts in the minds of the monks, went to the dining hall, spread out his seat in front of the assembly, and said to the monks: 'You should not generate thoughts of greed, thoughts of anger, or thoughts of harm. Why is that? Because these thoughts are not beneficial to meaning, not beneficial to the Dharma, not beneficial to the holy life, do not lead to wisdom, do not lead to right awakening, and do not lead to Nirvana. You should generate awareness of the noble truth of suffering, awareness of the noble truth of the origin of suffering, awareness of the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and awareness of the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering. Why is that? Because awareness of these Four Noble Truths is beneficial to meaning, beneficial to the Dharma, beneficial to the holy life, leads to right knowledge, right awakening, and leads to Nirvana. Therefore, monks! Regarding the Four Noble Truths, you should strive diligently, generate a strong desire, with right knowledge and right mindfulness, practice diligently.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (410) Thus have I heard: At one time... as described above. The difference is that, generating thoughts of relatives, thoughts of country and people, thoughts of immortality, until hearing what the Buddha said, they joyfully practiced it.


(四一一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。時,有眾多比丘集於食堂,作如是論:「或論王事、賊事、鬥戰事、錢財事、衣被事、飲食事、男女事、世間言語事、事業事、諸海中事。」

爾時,世尊于禪定中,以天耳聞諸比丘論說之聲,即從座起,往詣食堂,敷坐具于眾前坐,告諸比丘:「汝等比丘眾多聚集,為何所說?」

諸比丘白佛言:「世尊!我等於此聚集,或論說王事……」如上廣說。

佛告比丘:「汝等莫作是論,論說王事,乃至不向涅槃。若論說者,應當論說:『此苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。』所以者何?此四聖諦以義饒益、法饒益、梵行饒益、正智、正覺、正向涅槃。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四一二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有眾多比丘集於食堂,作如是說:「我知法、律,汝等不知我所說成就,我等所說與理合;汝等所說不成就,不與理合,應前說者,則在後說;應后說者,則在前說,而共諍論言。我論是汝等不如,能答者當答

現代漢語譯本 (四一一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,有許多比丘聚集在食堂,談論著各種事情,如『國家大事』、『盜賊事件』、『戰爭』、『錢財』、『衣物』、『飲食』、『男女之事』、『世俗的言語』、『工作』以及『海洋中的各種事情』。 這時,世尊在禪定中,用天耳聽到了比丘們談論的聲音,就從座位上起身,來到食堂,在大家面前鋪好坐具坐下,告訴比丘們:『你們這些比丘聚集在一起,都在談論些什麼呢?』 比丘們回答佛陀說:『世尊!我們聚集在這裡,有的在談論國家大事……』就像上面所說的那些內容。 佛陀告訴比丘們:『你們不要談論這些事情,談論國家大事,乃至不能導向涅槃。如果一定要談論,就應當談論:『這是苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅之道聖諦。』為什麼呢?因為這四聖諦能帶來義理上的利益、佛法上的利益、清凈修行上的利益,能帶來正確的智慧、正確的覺悟,能正確地導向涅槃。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地遵照奉行。 (四一二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有許多比丘聚集在食堂,他們這樣說道:『我懂得佛法和戒律,你們不懂得我所說的成就,我們所說的符合道理;你們所說的沒有成就,不符合道理,應該先說的,卻在後面說;應該后說的,卻在前面說。』他們互相爭論,說:『我的論點是對的,你們不如我,能回答的就來回答吧。』

English version (411) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, many monks gathered in the refectory, discussing various matters such as 『affairs of kings,』 『events of thieves,』 『wars,』 『money,』 『clothing,』 『food and drink,』 『matters of men and women,』 『worldly speech,』 『business,』 and 『various matters in the oceans.』 Then, the World-Honored One, while in meditation, heard the monks』 voices with his divine ear. He rose from his seat, went to the refectory, spread out his seat in front of the assembly, and said to the monks, 『You monks have gathered together, what are you discussing?』 The monks replied to the Buddha, 『World-Honored One! We have gathered here, some of us were discussing affairs of kings...』 as described above. The Buddha told the monks, 『You should not engage in such discussions, discussing affairs of kings, which do not lead to Nirvana. If you must discuss, you should discuss: 『This is the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cause of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering.』 Why is that? Because these Four Noble Truths bring benefits in meaning, benefits in Dharma, benefits in pure practice, and bring right wisdom, right enlightenment, and rightly lead to Nirvana.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha』s teachings, joyfully followed them. (412) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, many monks gathered in the refectory, saying, 『I understand the Dharma and the Vinaya, you do not understand the accomplishments of what I say. What we say is in accordance with reason; what you say is not accomplished and not in accordance with reason. What should be said first is said last; what should be said last is said first.』 They argued with each other, saying, 『My argument is correct, you are not as good as I am, let those who can answer, answer.』


。」

爾時,世尊于禪定中,以天耳聞諸比丘諍論之聲……如是廣說,乃至「於四聖諦無間等者,當勤起方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四一三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。時,有眾多比丘集於食堂,作如是論:「波斯匿王、頻婆娑羅王,何者大力?何者大富?」

爾時,世尊于禪定中,以天耳聞諸比丘論說之聲,即從座起,往詣食堂,敷坐具于眾前坐,問諸比丘:「汝等何所論說?」

時,諸比丘即以上事具白世尊。

佛告比丘:「汝等用說諸王大力、大富為?汝等比丘莫作是論。所以者何?此非義饒益,非法饒益,非梵行饒益,非智、非正覺,不向涅槃。汝等當說:『此苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。』所以者何?此四聖諦是義饒益、法饒益、梵行饒益、正智、正覺、正向涅槃。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四一四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊在禪定中,用天耳聽到了眾比丘爭論的聲音……像這樣廣泛地講述,乃至『對於四聖諦沒有透徹理解的人,應當勤奮努力,生起強烈的願望,學習透徹理解。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四一三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,有許多比丘聚集在食堂,議論說:『波斯匿王和頻婆娑羅王,哪一個更有力量?哪一個更富有?』 當時,世尊在禪定中,用天耳聽到了眾比丘議論的聲音,就從座位上起身,前往食堂,在眾人面前鋪好坐具坐下,問眾比丘:『你們在議論什麼?』 當時,眾比丘就把剛才議論的事情全部告訴了世尊。 佛陀告訴比丘們:『你們討論諸王的權力和財富有什麼用呢?你們比丘不要作這樣的議論。為什麼呢?因為這對於義理沒有益處,對於佛法沒有益處,對於清凈的修行沒有益處,對於智慧、正覺沒有幫助,也不能導向涅槃。你們應當討論:『這是苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅之道聖諦。』為什麼呢?因為這四聖諦對於義理有益處,對於佛法有益處,對於清凈的修行有益處,對於正智、正覺有幫助,能夠導向涅槃。因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦沒有透徹理解的人,應當勤奮努力,生起強烈的願望,學習透徹理解。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四一四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

English version At that time, the World-Honored One, while in meditative concentration, heard with his divine ear the sound of the monks' arguments... and so on, extensively explaining, even to 『those who have not thoroughly understood the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive, arouse intense desire, and learn to thoroughly understand.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (413) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, many monks gathered in the dining hall, discussing: 『Which is more powerful, King Pasenadi or King Bimbisara? Which is wealthier?』 At that time, the World-Honored One, while in meditative concentration, heard with his divine ear the sound of the monks' discussions, and immediately rose from his seat, went to the dining hall, spread out his seat in front of the assembly, and sat down, asking the monks: 『What are you discussing?』 Then, the monks told the World-Honored One everything they had been discussing. The Buddha told the monks: 『What is the use of you discussing the power and wealth of kings? You monks should not engage in such discussions. Why? Because it is not beneficial to the meaning, not beneficial to the Dharma, not beneficial to the pure conduct, does not lead to wisdom, enlightenment, or Nirvana. You should discuss: 『This is the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering.』 Why? Because these Four Noble Truths are beneficial to the meaning, beneficial to the Dharma, beneficial to the pure conduct, lead to right wisdom, right enlightenment, and lead to Nirvana. Therefore, monks! Those who have not thoroughly understood the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive, arouse intense desire, and learn to thoroughly understand.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (414) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.


。時,有眾多比丘集於食堂,作如是論:「汝等宿命作何等業?為何工巧?以何自活?」

爾時,世尊于禪定中,以天耳聞諸比丘論說之聲,即從座起,往詣食堂,敷坐具于眾前坐,問諸比丘:「汝說何等?」

時,諸比丘以上所說具白世尊。

佛告比丘:「汝等比丘莫作是說:『宿命所作。』所以者何?此非義饒益,非法饒益,非梵行饒益,非智、非正覺,不向涅槃。汝等比丘當共論說:『此苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。』所以者何?此義饒益、法饒益、梵行饒益、正智、正覺、正向涅槃。是故,比丘!依於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四一五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。時,有眾多比丘集於食堂,作如是說論:「某甲檀越作粗疏食,我等食已,無味無力,我等不如舍彼粗食,而行乞食。所以者何?比丘乞食時得好食,又見好色,時聞好聲,多人所識,亦得衣被、臥具、醫藥。」

爾時,世尊于禪定中,以天耳聞諸比丘論說之聲,即詣食堂……如是廣說,乃至「正向涅槃。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:當時,有許多比丘聚集在食堂,議論說:『你們前世做了什麼業?擅長什麼技藝?靠什麼謀生?』 這時,世尊在禪定中,用天耳聽到了比丘們的議論聲,就從座位起身,來到食堂,在眾人面前鋪好坐具坐下,問比丘們:『你們在說什麼?』 當時,比丘們把剛才所說的話都告訴了世尊。 佛告訴比丘們:『你們比丘不要這樣說:『前世所作。』為什麼呢?因為這沒有意義,沒有法益,沒有梵行利益,不能增長智慧,不能達到正覺,不能趨向涅槃。你們比丘應當共同討論:『這是苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。』為什麼呢?因為這有意義,有法益,有梵行利益,能增長正智,能達到正覺,能趨向涅槃。所以,比丘們!對於四聖諦還沒有完全通達的人,應當勤奮努力,生起增上欲,學習完全通達。』 佛說完這部經,比丘們聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四一五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,有許多比丘聚集在食堂,議論說:『某某施主做的食物粗糙,我們吃了,沒有味道也沒有力氣,我們不如捨棄這些粗食,去乞食。為什麼呢?因為比丘乞食時能得到好食物,又能看到美好的事物,聽到美好的聲音,被許多人認識,還能得到衣服、臥具、醫藥。』 這時,世尊在禪定中,用天耳聽到了比丘們的議論聲,就來到食堂……像前面那樣詳細地說,直到『正向涅槃。』 佛說完這部經,比丘們聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

English version: At that time, many monks gathered in the dining hall, discussing, 'What deeds did you do in your past lives? What skills are you proficient in? How do you make a living?' Then, the World Honored One, in meditation, heard the monks' discussions with his divine ear. He rose from his seat, went to the dining hall, spread out his seat in front of the assembly, and asked the monks, 'What are you talking about?' At that time, the monks told the World Honored One everything they had just said. The Buddha told the monks, 'You monks should not say, 'What was done in past lives.' Why is that? Because it is not beneficial in meaning, not beneficial in Dharma, not beneficial in the holy life, does not increase wisdom, does not lead to enlightenment, and does not lead to Nirvana. You monks should discuss together: 'This is the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering.' Why is that? Because this is beneficial in meaning, beneficial in Dharma, beneficial in the holy life, increases right wisdom, leads to enlightenment, and leads to Nirvana. Therefore, monks! Those who have not yet fully understood the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive, generate increased desire, and learn to fully understand.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (415) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, many monks gathered in the dining hall, discussing, 'The food that so-and-so donor provides is coarse. After we eat it, we have no taste and no strength. We might as well abandon this coarse food and go begging for alms. Why is that? Because when monks beg for alms, they can get good food, see beautiful things, hear beautiful sounds, be recognized by many people, and also receive clothing, bedding, and medicine.' Then, the World Honored One, in meditation, heard the monks' discussions with his divine ear. He went to the dining hall... and spoke in detail as before, up to 'leading to Nirvana.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.


(四一六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「汝等持我所說四聖諦不?」

時,有異比丘從座起,正衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛:「唯然,世尊所說四聖諦,我悉受持。」

佛告比丘:「汝云何受持四聖諦?」

比丘白佛言:「世尊說言:『此是苦聖諦,我即受持,此苦集聖諦、此苦滅聖諦、此苦滅道跡聖諦。』如是世尊說四聖諦,我即受持。」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!我說苦聖諦,汝真實受持;我說苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦,汝真實受持。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四一七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「汝等持我所說四聖諦不?」

時,有比丘從座起,整衣服,偏袒右肩,為佛作禮,合掌白佛:「唯然,世尊所說四聖諦,我悉受持。」

佛告比丘:「汝云何持我所說四聖諦?」

比丘白佛言:「世尊說苦聖諦,我悉受持。如如、不離如、不異如,真、實、審諦、不顛倒,是聖所諦,是名苦聖諦

現代漢語譯本 (四一六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『你們是否領受我所說的四聖諦?』 這時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛說:『是的,世尊所說的四聖諦,我全部領受。』 佛陀告訴比丘:『你是如何領受四聖諦的?』 比丘對佛說:『世尊說:『這是苦聖諦』,我就領受;『這是苦集聖諦』、『這是苦滅聖諦』、『這是苦滅道跡聖諦』。世尊這樣說四聖諦,我就領受。』 佛陀告訴比丘:『很好!很好!我說苦聖諦,你真實地領受;我說苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦,你真實地領受。』 佛陀說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (四一七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『你們是否領受我所說的四聖諦?』 這時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,袒露右肩,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛說:『是的,世尊所說的四聖諦,我全部領受。』 佛陀告訴比丘:『你是如何領受我所說的四聖諦的?』 比丘對佛說:『世尊說苦聖諦,我全部領受。如如、不離如、不異如,真實、審諦、不顛倒,這是聖者所見的真諦,這稱為苦聖諦。』

English version (416) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World-Honored One said to the monks: 'Do you uphold the Four Noble Truths that I have spoken?' Then, a certain monk rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, bowed to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'Yes, I uphold all the Four Noble Truths spoken by the World-Honored One.' The Buddha said to the monk: 'How do you uphold the Four Noble Truths?' The monk said to the Buddha: 'The World-Honored One said: 'This is the Noble Truth of Suffering,' and I uphold it; 'This is the Noble Truth of the Cause of Suffering,' 'This is the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering,' 'This is the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering.' Thus, the World-Honored One spoke of the Four Noble Truths, and I uphold them.' The Buddha said to the monk: 'Well done! Well done! I spoke of the Noble Truth of Suffering, and you truly uphold it; I spoke of the Noble Truth of the Cause of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, and you truly uphold them.' Having spoken this sutra, the monks, hearing what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (417) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World-Honored One said to the monks: 'Do you uphold the Four Noble Truths that I have spoken?' Then, a certain monk rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, bared his right shoulder, bowed to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'Yes, I uphold all the Four Noble Truths spoken by the World-Honored One.' The Buddha said to the monk: 'How do you uphold the Four Noble Truths that I have spoken?' The monk said to the Buddha: 'The World-Honored One spoke of the Noble Truth of Suffering, and I uphold it completely. As it is, not apart from it, not different from it, true, real, certain, and not inverted, this is the truth seen by the noble ones, and this is called the Noble Truth of Suffering.'


。世尊說苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦,如如、不離如、不異如,真、實、審諦、不顛倒,是聖所諦,是為世尊說四聖諦,我悉受持。」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝真實持我所說四聖諦,如如、不離如、不異如,真、實、審諦、不顛倒,是名比丘真實持我四聖諦。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四一八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「汝持我所說四聖諦不?」

時,有異比丘從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛言:「唯然,世尊所說四聖諦,我悉持之。云何四諦?世尊說苦聖諦,我悉持之,苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦,我悉持之。」

佛告彼比丘:「善哉!善哉!如我所說四聖諦,汝悉持之。諸比丘!若沙門、婆羅門作如是說,如沙門瞿曇所說苦聖諦,我當舍,更立苦聖諦者,但有言數,問已不知,增其疑惑,以非其境界故。苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦,我今當舍,更立餘四聖諦者,彼但有言數,問已不知,增其疑惑,以非其境界故。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:世尊宣說苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦,它們如實、不離如實、不異如實,真實、實在、審諦、不顛倒,是聖者所諦知的,這就是世尊所說的四聖諦,我全部接受並奉持。 佛陀告訴比丘們:『好啊!好啊!你真實地奉持了我所說的四聖諦,它們如實、不離如實、不異如實,真實、實在、審諦、不顛倒,這才是比丘真實奉持我的四聖諦。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四一八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴比丘們:『你們奉持我所說的四聖諦嗎?』 這時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛陀說:『是的,世尊所說的四聖諦,我全部奉持。什麼是四諦呢?世尊所說的苦聖諦,我全部奉持;苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦,我也全部奉持。』 佛陀告訴那位比丘:『好啊!好啊!你全部奉持了我所說的四聖諦。諸位比丘!如果沙門、婆羅門這樣說,『像沙門喬達摩所說的苦聖諦,我應當捨棄,另立一個苦聖諦』,他們只是空談,問他們之後卻什麼都不知道,只會增加他們的疑惑,因為這不是他們所能理解的境界。苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦,我現在應當捨棄,另立其他的四聖諦,他們也只是空談,問他們之後卻什麼都不知道,只會增加他們的疑惑,因為這不是他們所能理解的境界。因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦還沒有完全通達的人,應當勤奮努力,生起增上的意願,學習完全通達。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

English version: The World-Honored One spoke of the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Arising of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, which are as they are, not apart from as they are, not different from as they are, true, real, certain, and not inverted. These are the truths known by the noble ones. This is what the World-Honored One spoke of as the Four Noble Truths, and I have fully received and uphold them. The Buddha told the monks, 'Excellent! Excellent! You have truly upheld the Four Noble Truths as I have spoken them, which are as they are, not apart from as they are, not different from as they are, true, real, certain, and not inverted. This is what it means for a monk to truly uphold my Four Noble Truths.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (418) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World-Honored One said to the monks, 'Do you uphold the Four Noble Truths that I have spoken?' Then, a certain monk rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, bowed to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha, 'Yes, the Four Noble Truths spoken by the World-Honored One, I fully uphold them. What are the Four Truths? The Noble Truth of Suffering spoken by the World-Honored One, I fully uphold; the Noble Truth of the Arising of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, I also fully uphold.' The Buddha said to that monk, 'Excellent! Excellent! You have fully upheld the Four Noble Truths as I have spoken them. Monks! If any shramana or brahmana were to say, 'The Noble Truth of Suffering spoken by the shramana Gautama, I shall abandon, and establish another Noble Truth of Suffering,' they would only be speaking empty words. When questioned, they would not know, and their doubts would only increase, because it is not within their realm of understanding. The Noble Truth of the Arising of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, I shall now abandon, and establish other Four Noble Truths, they would also only be speaking empty words. When questioned, they would not know, and their doubts would only increase, because it is not within their realm of understanding. Therefore, monks! Those who have not yet fully understood the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive, arouse increased desire, and learn to fully understand.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.


(四一九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘于佛有疑者,則于苦聖諦有疑,苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦則有疑惑;若於法、僧有疑者,則于苦聖諦疑惑,苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦疑惑;若於佛不疑惑者,則于苦聖諦不疑惑,苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不疑惑;若於法、僧不疑惑者,則于苦聖諦不疑惑,苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不疑惑。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「汝等共行至深險巖

現代漢語譯本 (四一九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘對佛有疑惑,那麼他對苦聖諦就有疑惑,對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦也都有疑惑;如果對法、僧有疑惑,那麼他對苦聖諦有疑惑,對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦也有疑惑;如果對佛沒有疑惑,那麼他對苦聖諦就沒有疑惑,對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦也沒有疑惑;如果對法、僧沒有疑惑,那麼他對苦聖諦就沒有疑惑,對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦也沒有疑惑。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (四二〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果沙門、婆羅門對苦聖諦有疑惑,那麼他對佛有疑惑,對法、僧也有疑惑;如果對苦、集、滅、道有疑惑,那麼他對佛有疑惑,對法、僧也有疑惑。如果對苦聖諦沒有疑惑,那麼他對佛沒有疑惑,對法、僧也沒有疑惑;如果對集、滅、道聖諦沒有疑惑,那麼他對佛沒有疑惑,對法、僧也沒有疑惑。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (四二一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『你們一起去到深險的巖石邊

English version (419) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'If a monk has doubt about the Buddha, then he has doubt about the Noble Truth of Suffering, and he has doubt about the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering; if he has doubt about the Dharma and the Sangha, then he has doubt about the Noble Truth of Suffering, and he has doubt about the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering; if he has no doubt about the Buddha, then he has no doubt about the Noble Truth of Suffering, and he has no doubt about the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering; if he has no doubt about the Dharma and the Sangha, then he has no doubt about the Noble Truth of Suffering, and he has no doubt about the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and practiced accordingly. (420) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'If a Brahmin or a recluse has doubt about the Noble Truth of Suffering, then he has doubt about the Buddha, and he has doubt about the Dharma and the Sangha; if he has doubt about Suffering, Origin, Cessation, and Path, then he has doubt about the Buddha, and he has doubt about the Dharma and the Sangha. If he has no doubt about the Noble Truth of Suffering, then he has no doubt about the Buddha, and he has no doubt about the Dharma and the Sangha; if he has no doubt about the Noble Truths of Origin, Cessation, and Path, then he has no doubt about the Buddha, and he has no doubt about the Dharma and the Sangha.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and practiced accordingly. (421) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'You all go together to the deep and dangerous rocks'


。」

諸比丘白佛:「唯然,世尊!」

爾時,世尊與諸大眾至深險巖,敷座而坐,周匝觀察深險巖已,告諸比丘:「此巖極大深險。」

時,有異比丘從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛言:「世尊!此極深險,然復有一極深險極險於此,甚可怖畏者不?」

佛知其意,即告言:「如是,比丘!此極深險,然復有大深險險於此者,甚可怖畏,謂諸沙門、婆羅門于苦聖諦不如實知,苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不如實知,彼于生本諸行樂著,于老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦生本諸行樂著,而作是行;老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦行,轉增長故,墮于生深險之處;墮于老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦深險之處。如是,比丘!此則大深險險於此者。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四二二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有大熱地獄,若眾生生於彼中,一向與烔然。」

時,有異比丘從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛言:「如世尊說,此則大熱。世尊!唯此大熱,復有大熱過於此者,甚可怖畏,無有過上

現代漢語譯本 『諸位比丘,』他們回答佛陀,『是的,世尊!』 那時,世尊與大眾來到一個深險的巖石處,鋪好座位坐下。他環顧四周的深險巖石后,告訴比丘們:『這巖石極其深險。』 這時,一位比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛陀說:『世尊!這巖石確實極其深險,但還有比這更深險、更可怕的嗎?』 佛陀知道他的意思,就說:『是的,比丘!這巖石確實極其深險,但還有比這更深險的,更加可怕。那就是那些沙門、婆羅門對苦聖諦不能如實知曉,對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不能如實知曉。他們對生之根本的諸行執著,對老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦的生之根本的諸行執著,並以此而行。由於老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦的諸行不斷增長,他們便墮入生的深險之處,墮入老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦的深險之處。比丘們,這就是比這巖石更深險的。因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦尚未完全通達的人,應當勤奮努力,生起增上欲,學習完全通達。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜奉行。 (四二二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴比丘們:『有一個大熱地獄,如果眾生生在那裡,就會一直被燒灼。』 這時,一位比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛陀說:『正如世尊所說,這確實是大熱。世尊!難道只有這個大熱嗎?還有比這更熱、更可怕、無與倫比的大熱嗎?』

English version 'Venerable monks,' they replied to the Buddha, 'yes, Blessed One!' Then, the Blessed One, with the assembly, went to a deep and dangerous rock. Having spread out his seat, he sat down. After observing the deep and dangerous rock all around, he said to the monks: 'This rock is extremely deep and dangerous.' At that time, a certain monk rose from his seat, arranged his robe, bowed to the Buddha, and with his palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'Blessed One! This is indeed extremely deep and dangerous, but is there anything deeper and more dangerous than this, something even more terrifying?' The Buddha, knowing his intention, said: 'Yes, monk! This rock is indeed extremely deep and dangerous, but there is something deeper and more dangerous than this, something even more terrifying. It is when those ascetics and brahmins do not truly understand the noble truth of suffering, do not truly understand the noble truth of the origin of suffering, the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering. They are attached to the actions that are the root of birth, attached to the actions that are the root of old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress, and they act accordingly. Because the actions of old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress continually increase, they fall into the deep and dangerous place of birth; they fall into the deep and dangerous place of old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress. Thus, monks! This is what is deeper and more dangerous than this rock. Therefore, monks! Those who have not yet fully penetrated the Four Noble Truths should strive diligently, arouse increased desire, and learn to fully penetrate them.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (422) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. Then, the Blessed One said to the monks: 'There is a great hot hell. If beings are born there, they are constantly burned.' At that time, a certain monk rose from his seat, arranged his robe, bowed to the Buddha, and with his palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'As the Blessed One has said, this is indeed great heat. Blessed One! Is this the only great heat? Is there a greater heat than this, something more terrifying, something unsurpassed?'


。」

「如是,比丘!此則大熱,亦更有大熱過於此者,甚可怖畏,無有過上。何等為更有大熱,甚可怖畏,過於此者?謂沙門、婆羅門此苦聖諦不如實知,苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不如實知。如是乃至生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,大熱熾然,是名比丘大熱燒然,甚可怖畏,無有過者。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四二三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有大闇地獄,彼諸眾生,生彼中者,不見自身分。」

時,有異比丘從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛言:「世尊!此則大闇,唯此大闇,復更有餘大闇,甚可怖畏,過於此不?」

佛告比丘:「如是,更有大闇,甚可怖畏,過於此者,謂沙門、婆羅門於四聖諦不如實知,乃至墮于生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦大闇之中。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

『正是如此,比丘!這已經是很熱了,但還有比這更熱的,非常可怕,沒有比這更厲害的。什麼才是更熱、更可怕、超過這的呢?就是那些沙門、婆羅門不能如實知曉苦聖諦,不能如實知曉苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。像這樣,乃至生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,大熱熾盛燃燒,這叫做比丘大熱燃燒,非常可怕,沒有比這更厲害的。因此,比丘!對於四聖諦還沒有完全通達的人,應當勤奮努力,生起強烈的願望,學習完全通達。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (四二三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有一個大黑暗地獄,那些眾生生在那裡,看不見自己的身體。』 當時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛陀說:『世尊!這已經是很黑暗了,難道還有比這更黑暗的,非常可怕,超過這的嗎?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『正是如此,還有更黑暗的,非常可怕,超過這的,就是那些沙門、婆羅門不能如實知曉四聖諦,乃至墮入生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦的大黑暗之中。因此,比丘!對於四聖諦還沒有完全通達的人,應當勤奮努力,生起強烈的願望,學習完全通達。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (四二四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

'So it is, monks! This is already very hot, but there is a greater heat than this, which is very terrifying, and there is nothing greater. What is the greater heat, more terrifying, and surpassing this? It is when ascetics and Brahmins do not truly understand the Noble Truth of Suffering, do not truly understand the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering. Thus, even birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress, a great heat burns fiercely. This is called the great heat burning for monks, which is very terrifying, and there is nothing greater. Therefore, monks! Those who have not yet fully understood the Four Noble Truths should strive diligently, arouse strong desire, and learn to fully understand.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (423) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'There is a great dark hell, and those beings born there cannot see their own bodies.' At that time, a certain monk rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, bowed to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! This is already very dark, but is there a greater darkness, more terrifying, and surpassing this?' The Buddha said to the monk: 'So it is, there is a greater darkness, more terrifying, and surpassing this, which is when ascetics and Brahmins do not truly understand the Four Noble Truths, and thus fall into the great darkness of birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress. Therefore, monks! Those who have not yet fully understood the Four Noble Truths should strive diligently, arouse strong desire, and learn to fully understand.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (424) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「如日遊行,照諸世界,乃至千日千月,照千世界、千須彌山、千弗婆提、千閻浮提、千拘耶尼、千郁單越、千四天王、千三十三天、千炎魔天、千兜率天、千化樂天、千他化自在天、千梵天,是名小千世界。此千世界,中間闇冥,日月光照,有大德力,而彼不見,其有眾生,生彼中者,不見自身分。」

時,有異比丘從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛言:「世尊!如世尊說,是大闇冥,復更有餘大闇冥處過於此耶?」

佛告比丘:「有大闇冥過於此者,謂沙門、婆羅門于苦聖諦不如實知,乃至墮于生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦大闇冥中,是名比丘有大闇冥過於世界中間闇冥。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,時諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四二五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「從小千世界數滿至千,是名中千世界。於是中千世界,中間闇冥,如前所說,乃至於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本: 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如同太陽,照耀著各個世界,乃至一千個太陽和一千個月亮,照耀著一千個世界、一千座須彌山、一千個弗婆提洲、一千個閻浮提洲、一千個拘耶尼洲、一千個郁單越洲、一千個四天王天、一千個三十三天、一千個炎魔天、一千個兜率天、一千個化樂天、一千個他化自在天、一千個梵天,這被稱為小千世界。這小千世界中間是黑暗的,日月的光芒雖然照耀,具有強大的力量,但那裡的眾生卻看不見,那些出生在那裡的眾生,也看不見自己的身體。』 當時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛說:『世尊!正如世尊所說,那是大黑暗,是否還有比這更大的黑暗之處呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『有比這更大的黑暗,那就是沙門和婆羅門對於苦聖諦不能如實地瞭解,以至於陷入生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦的大黑暗之中,這被稱為比丘所處的比世界中間黑暗更大的黑暗。因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦沒有達到無間等境界的人,應當勤奮努力,生起增上的慾望,學習達到無間等境界。』 佛陀說完這部經后,當時的比丘們聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (四二五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『從小千世界數到一千,這被稱為中千世界。在這中千世界中間,也是黑暗的,如同前面所說,乃至對於四聖諦沒有達到無間等境界的人,應當勤奮努力,生起增上的慾望,學習達到無間等境界。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Like the sun, illuminating all the worlds, even a thousand suns and a thousand moons, illuminating a thousand worlds, a thousand Mount Sumerus, a thousand Purva Videhas, a thousand Jambudvipas, a thousand Aparagodaniyas, a thousand Uttarakurus, a thousand Four Heavenly Kings, a thousand Thirty-three Heavens, a thousand Yama Heavens, a thousand Tusita Heavens, a thousand Nirmāṇarati Heavens, a thousand Paranirmitavasavartin Heavens, and a thousand Brahma Heavens, this is called a small chiliocosm. In the middle of this small chiliocosm, there is darkness. Although the light of the sun and moon shines with great power, the beings there cannot see it. Those born there cannot even see their own bodies.' Then, a certain bhikkhu rose from his seat, arranged his robe, bowed to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! As the World Honored One has said, that is great darkness. Is there any place of greater darkness than this?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'There is greater darkness than this. It is when śramaṇas and brahmins do not truly understand the Noble Truth of Suffering, and thus fall into the great darkness of birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress. This is called the greater darkness that bhikkhus experience, which is greater than the darkness in the middle of the world. Therefore, bhikkhus! Those who have not attained uninterrupted understanding of the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive, arouse increased desire, and learn to attain uninterrupted understanding.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (425) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Counting from a small chiliocosm to a thousand, this is called a medium chiliocosm. In the middle of this medium chiliocosm, there is also darkness, as described before, and those who have not attained uninterrupted understanding of the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive, arouse increased desire, and learn to attain uninterrupted understanding.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

現代漢語譯本 (四二六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『從中千世界數滿到一千,這叫做三千大千世界。世界中間黑暗的地方,日月的光芒雖然普照世界,但那裡卻看不見,甚至會墮入生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦的大黑暗之中。因此,諸位比丘!對於四聖諦沒有無間斷地平等理解的人,應當勤奮努力,生起增上的慾望,學習無間斷地平等理解。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (四二七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說四聖諦。仔細聽!仔細聽!好好思考。哪四種呢?就是苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦,這叫做四聖諦。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 應當像這樣說,像這樣存在,像這樣應當知道,也像上面所說。 (四二八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當勤奮地禪思,以正確的方法發起,使內心寂靜。為什麼呢?比丘禪思,內心寂靜成就之後,就會如實地顯現。如何如實顯現呢?就是說,這苦聖諦如實顯現,這苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實顯現。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version (426) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'From a middle chiliocosm, when the count reaches one thousand, this is called a great chiliocosm. In the dark places between worlds, the sun and moon, though shining universally on the world, are not seen there, and they even fall into the great darkness of birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. Therefore, monks! Those who have not uninterruptedly and equally understood the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive, arouse increased desire, and learn to understand uninterruptedly and equally.' Having spoken this sutra, the monks, hearing what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (427) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'I will now speak of the Four Noble Truths. Listen carefully! Listen carefully! Think well on them. What are the four? They are the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Arising of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering. These are called the Four Noble Truths.' Having spoken this sutra, the monks, hearing what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. It should be spoken thus, it exists thus, it should be known thus, and it is also as said above. (428) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'You should diligently meditate, initiate with correct means, and quiet your minds internally. Why is that? When a monk meditates and achieves internal quietude, it will manifest truthfully. How does it manifest truthfully? It means that this Noble Truth of Suffering manifests truthfully, and this Noble Truth of the Arising of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering manifest truthfully.' Having spoken this sutra, the monks, hearing what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.


(四二九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當修無量三摩提,專心正念。所以者何?修無量三摩提,專心正念已。如是如實顯現。云何如實顯現?謂此苦聖諦如實顯現,苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實顯現。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四三〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,佛告諸比丘:「如人擲杖于虛空中,尋即還墮,或根著地,或腹著地,或頭著地。如是,沙門、婆羅門於此苦聖諦不如實知,苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不如實知,當知是沙門、婆羅門或墮地獄,或墮畜生,或墮餓鬼。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四三一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「如人擲杖置虛空中,其必還墮,或墮凈地,或墮不凈地。如是,沙門、婆羅門于苦聖諦不如實知,于苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不如實知;以不如實知故,或生善趣,或生惡趣

現代漢語譯本 (四二九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當修習無量三摩地,專心正念。為什麼呢?修習無量三摩地,專心正念之後,就能如實顯現。如何如實顯現呢?就是說,這苦聖諦如實顯現,苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實顯現。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (四三〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,佛告訴眾比丘:『就像有人把木杖拋向空中,很快就會掉下來,或者根著地,或者腹著地,或者頭著地。同樣,沙門、婆羅門如果對這苦聖諦不如實知,對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不如實知,應當知道這些沙門、婆羅門或者墮入地獄,或者墮入畜生道,或者墮入餓鬼道。因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦沒有無間等覺悟的人,應當勤加方便,學習無間等覺悟。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (四三一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『就像有人把木杖拋向空中,它必定會掉下來,或者掉在乾淨的地方,或者掉在不乾淨的地方。同樣,沙門、婆羅門如果對苦聖諦不如實知,對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不如實知;因為不如實知,或者生於善趣,或者生於惡趣。

English version (429) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'You should cultivate immeasurable samadhi, with focused mindfulness. Why is that? Having cultivated immeasurable samadhi, with focused mindfulness, it will be revealed as it truly is. How is it revealed as it truly is? It is that this noble truth of suffering is revealed as it truly is, the noble truth of the origin of suffering, the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering are revealed as they truly are.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. (430) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the Buddha addressed the monks, saying: 'Just as a person throws a stick into the air, it will soon fall down, either with its root touching the ground, or its belly touching the ground, or its head touching the ground. Similarly, if a shramana or brahmana does not truly know this noble truth of suffering, does not truly know the noble truth of the origin of suffering, the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, know that such a shramana or brahmana will either fall into hell, or fall into the animal realm, or fall into the realm of hungry ghosts. Therefore, monks! Those who have not attained uninterrupted understanding of the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive to learn uninterrupted understanding.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. (431) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'Just as a person throws a stick into the air, it will surely fall down, either falling on clean ground or falling on unclean ground. Similarly, if a shramana or brahmana does not truly know the noble truth of suffering, does not truly know the noble truth of the origin of suffering, the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering; because of not truly knowing, they will either be born in a good realm or be born in a bad realm.'


。是故,諸比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四三二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,佛告諸比丘:「譬如五節相續輪,大力士夫令速旋轉。如是,沙門、婆羅門於此苦聖諦不如實知,此苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不如實知,輪迴五趣,而速旋轉,或墮地獄,或墮畜生,或墮餓鬼,或人、或天,還墮惡道,長夜輪轉。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四三三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「如來、應、等正覺增上說法,謂四聖諦,開示、施設、建立、分別、散說、顯現、表露。何等為四?謂苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本:因此,各位比丘!對於四聖諦尚未通達的人,應當勤加努力,生起強烈的願望,學習通達。 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (四三二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,佛陀告訴各位比丘:『譬如一個有五個環節相連的輪子,一個大力士能讓它快速旋轉。同樣,沙門、婆羅門如果不能如實地瞭解這苦聖諦,不能如實地瞭解這苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦,就會在五道中輪迴,快速旋轉,或者墮入地獄,或者墮入畜生道,或者墮入餓鬼道,或者為人,或者為天,還會墮入惡道,長久地在輪迴中轉動。因此,各位比丘!對於四聖諦尚未通達的人,應當勤加努力,生起強烈的願望,學習通達。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (四三三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『如來、應供、正等覺所宣說的最殊勝的法,就是四聖諦,開示、施設、建立、分別、詳細解說、顯現、表露。哪四種呢?就是苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。因此,各位比丘!對於四聖諦尚未通達的人,應當勤加努力,生起強烈的願望,學習通達。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (四三四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

English version: Therefore, bhikkhus, those who have not yet penetrated the Four Noble Truths should strive, generate intense desire, and learn to penetrate them. Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings. (432) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. Then, the Buddha said to the bhikkhus: 'Just as a wheel with five connected sections can be spun rapidly by a strong man, so too, those ascetics and brahmins who do not truly understand the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering, will revolve rapidly through the five realms of existence, falling into hell, or into the animal realm, or into the realm of hungry ghosts, or as humans, or as gods, and then falling back into evil realms, revolving for a long time. Therefore, bhikkhus, those who have not yet penetrated the Four Noble Truths should strive, generate intense desire, and learn to penetrate them.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings. (433) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. Then, the Blessed One said to the bhikkhus: 'The supreme teaching of the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One, is the Four Noble Truths, which are revealed, established, set forth, distinguished, explained in detail, made manifest, and disclosed. What are the four? They are the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering. Therefore, bhikkhus, those who have not yet penetrated the Four Noble Truths should strive, generate intense desire, and learn to penetrate them.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings. (434) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「何等為黠慧?為此苦聖諦如實知,此苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實知、為不知耶?」

諸比丘白佛:「如我解世尊所說,於四聖諦如實知者,此為黠慧。」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!于苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實知者,是則黠慧。是故,諸比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四三五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,須達長者往詣佛所,稽首佛足,於一面坐。白佛言:「世尊!此四聖諦為漸次無間等?為一頓無間等?」

佛告長者:「此四聖諦漸次無間,非頓無間等。」

佛告長者:「若有說言于苦聖諦未無間等,而於彼苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦無間等者,此說不應。所以者何?若於苦聖諦未無間等,而欲于苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦無間等者,無有是處。

「猶如有人,兩細樹葉連合為器,盛水持行,無有是處。如是于苦聖諦未無間等,而欲于苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦無間等者,無有是處

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『什麼是智慧?是對苦聖諦如實知曉,對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實知曉,還是不知曉呢?』 眾比丘回答佛說:『依我們理解世尊所說,對四聖諦如實知曉,這就是智慧。』 佛告訴比丘們:『好啊!好啊!對苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實知曉,這就是智慧。因此,各位比丘!對於四聖諦尚未達到無間等境界的,應當勤奮努力,生起增上欲,學習達到無間等。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (四三五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,須達長者前往佛陀住所,頂禮佛足,在一旁坐下。他問佛說:『世尊!這四聖諦是逐漸達到無間等,還是一下子就達到無間等呢?』 佛告訴長者:『這四聖諦是逐漸達到無間等,不是一下子就達到無間等。』 佛告訴長者:『如果有人說對苦聖諦尚未達到無間等,卻對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦達到無間等,這種說法是不合理的。為什麼呢?如果對苦聖諦尚未達到無間等,卻想對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦達到無間等,這是不可能的。 『就像有人用兩片細小的樹葉合在一起做成容器,用來盛水行走,這是不可能的。同樣,如果對苦聖諦尚未達到無間等,卻想對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦達到無間等,這是不可能的。』

English version At that time, the World-Honored One said to the monks: 'What is wisdom? Is it to truly know the Noble Truth of Suffering, to truly know the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, or is it not to know?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'As we understand what the World-Honored One has said, to truly know the Four Noble Truths, this is wisdom.' The Buddha told the monks: 'Excellent! Excellent! To truly know the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, this is wisdom. Therefore, monks! Those who have not yet attained uninterrupted understanding of the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive, arouse increased desire, and learn to attain uninterrupted understanding.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (435) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the elder Sudatta went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! Are these Four Noble Truths attained gradually without interruption, or are they attained all at once without interruption?' The Buddha told the elder: 'These Four Noble Truths are attained gradually without interruption, not all at once without interruption.' The Buddha told the elder: 'If someone says that they have not attained uninterrupted understanding of the Noble Truth of Suffering, but have attained uninterrupted understanding of the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, this statement is not reasonable. Why is that? If one has not attained uninterrupted understanding of the Noble Truth of Suffering, but wishes to attain uninterrupted understanding of the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, this is not possible.' 'It is like someone who uses two thin leaves joined together as a container to carry water; this is not possible. Likewise, if one has not attained uninterrupted understanding of the Noble Truth of Suffering, but wishes to attain uninterrupted understanding of the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, this is not possible.'


「譬如有人,取蓮華葉連合為器,盛水遊行,斯有是處。如是,長者!于苦聖諦無間等已,而欲于苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦無間等者,斯有是處。是故,長者!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四三六)

如須達長者所問,有異比丘問,亦如是說,唯譬有差別:「如有四登階道,升于殿堂,若有說言不登初階,而登第二、第三、第四階升堂殿者,無有是處。所以者何?要由初階,然後次登第二、第三、第四階得升殿堂。如是,比丘!于苦聖諦未無間等,而欲于苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦無間等者,無有是處。

「譬如,比丘!若有人言:『以四階道升于殿堂,要由初階,然後次登第二、第三、第四階得升殿堂,應作是說。』所以者何?要由初階,然後次登第二、第三、第四階升于殿堂,有是處故。如是,比丘!若言于苦聖諦無間等已,然後次第于苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦無間等者,應作是說。所以者何?若於苦聖諦無間等已,然後次第于苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦無間等者,有是處故。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本 『例如有人,取蓮花葉連線起來做成容器,盛水,這是有可能的。像這樣,長者!如果對於苦聖諦沒有透徹理解,卻想要對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦透徹理解,這是不可能的。因此,長者!對於四聖諦沒有透徹理解的人,應當勤奮努力,生起強烈的願望,學習透徹理解。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (四三六) 如同須達長者所問,有其他比丘也這樣問,說法也一樣,只是比喻有所不同:『如有四級臺階,通向殿堂,如果有人說不登上第一級臺階,而直接登上第二、第三、第四級臺階進入殿堂,這是不可能的。為什麼呢?必須從第一級臺階開始,然後依次登上第二、第三、第四級臺階才能進入殿堂。像這樣,比丘!如果對於苦聖諦沒有透徹理解,卻想要對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦透徹理解,這是不可能的。』 『例如,比丘!如果有人說:『通過四級臺階進入殿堂,必須從第一級臺階開始,然後依次登上第二、第三、第四級臺階才能進入殿堂,』應該這樣說。為什麼呢?必須從第一級臺階開始,然後依次登上第二、第三、第四級臺階才能進入殿堂,這是有可能的。像這樣,比丘!如果說對於苦聖諦透徹理解之後,然後依次對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦透徹理解,應該這樣說。為什麼呢?如果對於苦聖諦透徹理解之後,然後依次對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦透徹理解,這是有可能的。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version 'For example, if someone were to take lotus leaves and join them together to make a container to hold water, that would be possible. Likewise, O householder! If one has not thoroughly understood the truth of suffering, yet wishes to thoroughly understand the truth of the origin of suffering, the truth of the cessation of suffering, and the truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, that is not possible. Therefore, O householder! Those who have not thoroughly understood the Four Noble Truths should strive diligently, generate a strong desire, and learn to thoroughly understand them.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. (436) Just as Sudatta the householder asked, another monk asked similarly, saying the same thing, but with a different analogy: 'If there are four steps leading up to a palace, if someone were to say that without climbing the first step, they could climb the second, third, and fourth steps to enter the palace, that would be impossible. Why? Because one must start with the first step, and then successively climb the second, third, and fourth steps to enter the palace. Likewise, monks! If one has not thoroughly understood the truth of suffering, yet wishes to thoroughly understand the truth of the origin of suffering, the truth of the cessation of suffering, and the truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, that is not possible.' 'For example, monks! If someone were to say: 『To ascend to the palace by four steps, one must start with the first step, and then successively climb the second, third, and fourth steps to enter the palace,』 that should be said. Why? Because one must start with the first step, and then successively climb the second, third, and fourth steps to enter the palace, that is possible. Likewise, monks! If it is said that after thoroughly understanding the truth of suffering, one then successively thoroughly understands the truth of the origin of suffering, the truth of the cessation of suffering, and the truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, that should be said. Why? Because if one has thoroughly understood the truth of suffering, then successively thoroughly understanding the truth of the origin of suffering, the truth of the cessation of suffering, and the truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering is possible.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly.


(四三七)

如異比丘問,阿難所問,亦如是說,唯譬差別。

佛告阿難:「譬如四隥梯升于殿堂。若有說言不由初隥,而登第二、第三、第四隥升殿堂者,無有是處。如是,阿難!若於苦聖諦未無間等,而欲苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦無間等者,此不應說。所以者何?若於苦聖諦未無間等,而於苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦無間等者,無有是處。

「譬如,阿難!由四隥梯升于殿堂。若有人言要由初隥,然後次登第二、第三、第四隥升殿堂者,此所應說。所以者何?要由初隥,然後次登第二、第三、第四隥升殿堂者,有是處故。如是,阿難!于苦聖諦無間等已,然後次第苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦無間等者,斯有是處。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四三八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如大地草木,悉取為鏘,貫大海中,一切水蟲悉能貫不?」

比丘白佛:「不能。世尊!所以者何?大海諸蟲,種種形類,或於細不可貫,或極大不可貫。」

佛告比丘:「如是,如是。眾生界無數無量

現代漢語譯本 (四三七) 如果其他比丘問,像阿難所問一樣,也這樣說,只是比喻不同。 佛告訴阿難:『譬如四級臺階的梯子用來登上殿堂。如果有人說不從第一級臺階開始,而登上第二、第三、第四級臺階就能登上殿堂,這是不可能的。同樣,阿難!如果對於苦聖諦沒有無間等,卻想要對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦無間等,這是不應該說的。為什麼呢?如果對於苦聖諦沒有無間等,卻想要對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦無間等,這是不可能的。』 『譬如,阿難!用四級臺階的梯子登上殿堂。如果有人說必須從第一級臺階開始,然後依次登上第二、第三、第四級臺階才能登上殿堂,這是應該說的。為什麼呢?必須從第一級臺階開始,然後依次登上第二、第三、第四級臺階才能登上殿堂,這是有可能的。同樣,阿難!對於苦聖諦無間等之後,然後依次對苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦無間等,這是有可能的。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (四三八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如大地上所有的草木,都拿來做成針,穿入大海中,所有的水蟲都能被穿透嗎?』 比丘回答佛說:『不能。世尊!為什麼呢?大海里的蟲子,種類繁多,有的細小得無法穿透,有的巨大得無法穿透。』 佛告訴比丘:『是的,是的。眾生界無數無量』

English version (437) If another bhikkhu asks, as Ananda asked, it should be explained in the same way, only the metaphors are different. The Buddha told Ananda: 'It is like a ladder with four steps to ascend to a palace. If someone says that without starting from the first step, they can ascend to the second, third, and fourth steps and reach the palace, it is impossible. Similarly, Ananda! If one has not attained uninterrupted understanding of the Noble Truth of Suffering, and yet desires to attain uninterrupted understanding of the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, this should not be said. Why is that? If one has not attained uninterrupted understanding of the Noble Truth of Suffering, and yet desires to attain uninterrupted understanding of the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, it is impossible.' 'It is like, Ananda! Using a ladder with four steps to ascend to a palace. If someone says that one must start from the first step, and then successively ascend the second, third, and fourth steps to reach the palace, this should be said. Why is that? One must start from the first step, and then successively ascend the second, third, and fourth steps to reach the palace, this is possible. Similarly, Ananda! After attaining uninterrupted understanding of the Noble Truth of Suffering, then successively attaining uninterrupted understanding of the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering, this is possible.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (438) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Suppose all the grass and trees on the earth were taken and made into needles, and then inserted into the great ocean, could all the water creatures be pierced?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'No, World-Honored One! Why is that? The creatures in the great ocean are of various kinds, some are too small to be pierced, and some are too large to be pierced.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'So it is, so it is. The realm of sentient beings is countless and immeasurable.'


。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四三九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊手執土石,問諸比丘:「于意云何?此手中土石為多?彼大雪山土石為多?」

比丘白佛言:「世尊手中土石甚少少耳,雪山土石甚多無量,百千巨億,算數譬類不可為比。」

佛告比丘:「其諸眾生於苦聖諦如實知者,苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實知者,如我手中所執土石;其諸眾生於苦聖諦不如實知,于苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不如實知者,如彼雪山土石,其數無量。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四四〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如湖池,深廣五十由旬,其水盈滿。若有士夫以發以毛,或以指端渧彼湖水,乃至再三。云何?比丘!如彼士夫所渧水多?湖池水多?」

比丘白佛:「如彼士夫毛髮指端再三渧水,甚少少耳,彼湖大水,其量無數,乃至算數譬類不可為比

現代漢語譯本 因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦尚未完全通達的人,應當勤加努力,生起強烈的願望,學習完全通達。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

(四三九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊手裡拿著土石,問眾比丘:『你們認為如何?這手中土石多,還是那大雪山的土石多?』 比丘們回答佛陀說:『世尊手中的土石非常少,雪山的土石非常多,無量無邊,即使百千巨億,也無法用算數和比喻來相比。』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『那些眾生對於苦聖諦如實知曉的,對於苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實知曉的,就像我手中所拿的土石;那些眾生對於苦聖諦不如實知曉的,對於苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不如實知曉的,就像那雪山的土石,數量無量。因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦尚未完全通達的人,應當勤加努力,生起強烈的願望,學習完全通達。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

(四四〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如有一個湖泊,深廣五十由旬,湖水充滿。如果有一個人,用頭髮、毛髮,或者用指尖滴那湖水,甚至滴兩三次。你們認為如何?比丘們!那個人所滴的水多,還是湖泊的水多?』 比丘們回答佛陀說:『那個人用毛髮指尖滴兩三次的水,非常少,那個湖泊的水,數量無數,甚至無法用算數和比喻來相比。』

English version Therefore, bhikkhus! Those who have not yet fully understood the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive, arouse intense desire, and learn to fully understand them. Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly.

(439) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove at Kalandaka, near Rajagaha. Then, the Blessed One, holding some earth and stones in his hand, asked the bhikkhus: 'What do you think, bhikkhus? Is the earth and stones in my hand more, or the earth and stones of the great Himalayas more?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'The earth and stones in the Blessed One's hand are very few, while the earth and stones of the Himalayas are very many, immeasurable, even hundreds of thousands of millions, beyond comparison by calculation or analogy.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'Those beings who truly understand the Noble Truth of Suffering, who truly understand the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering, are like the earth and stones I hold in my hand; those beings who do not truly understand the Noble Truth of Suffering, who do not truly understand the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering, are like the earth and stones of the Himalayas, their number is immeasurable. Therefore, bhikkhus! Those who have not yet fully understood the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive, arouse intense desire, and learn to fully understand them.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly.

(440) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove at Kalandaka, near Rajagaha. Then, the Blessed One told the bhikkhus: 'Suppose there is a lake, fifty yojanas deep and wide, filled with water. If a man were to drip water from that lake with a hair, a strand of hair, or the tip of a finger, even two or three times. What do you think, bhikkhus? Is the water dripped by that man more, or the water of the lake more?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'The water dripped by that man with a hair or the tip of a finger two or three times is very little, while the water of that lake is countless, even beyond comparison by calculation or analogy.'


。」

佛告比丘:「如大湖水,甚多無量。如是多聞聖弟子具足見諦,得聖道果,斷諸苦本,如截多羅樹頭,于未來世成不生法,余不盡者,如彼士夫發毛指端所渧之水。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如大湖水譬,如是薩羅多吒迦、恒伽、耶符那、薩羅游、伊羅跋提摩醯,及四大海,其譬亦如上說。

(四四一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊手捉團土,大如梨果,告諸比丘:「云何?比丘!我手中此團土為多?大雪山中土石為多?」

諸比丘白佛言:「世尊手中團土少少耳,彼雪山王,其土石甚多,百千億那由他,乃至算數譬類不得為比。」

佛告諸比丘:「如我所捉團土。如是,眾生於苦聖諦如實知,于苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實知者,亦復如是。如大雪山王土石者。如是,眾生於苦聖諦不如實知,于苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不如實知者,亦復如是。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,起增上欲,學無間等。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴比丘們:『就像一個大湖,水非常多,無量無邊。同樣,一位多聞的聖弟子,具足了見諦的智慧,證得了聖道的果位,斷除了所有痛苦的根源,就像砍斷了多羅樹的樹頭一樣,在未來的世間不會再有生死的輪迴。而那些尚未斷盡的煩惱,就像一個男子頭髮尖端或指尖所滴落的水滴一樣微不足道。因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦尚未達到完全通達的,應當勤奮努力,生起增上的願望,學習達到完全通達。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 就像大湖水這個比喻一樣,薩羅多吒迦、恒伽、耶符那、薩羅游、伊羅跋提摩醯,以及四大海,它們的比喻也像上面所說的那樣。 (四四一) 我聽到的是這樣的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊手裡拿著一塊像梨子一樣大的泥土,告訴比丘們:『怎麼樣?比丘們!我手中的這塊泥土多呢?還是大雪山中的土石多呢?』 比丘們回答佛陀說:『世尊手中的泥土很少很少,而那雪山之王,它的土石非常多,有百千億那由他,甚至用算數和比喻都無法相比。』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『就像我所拿的這塊泥土一樣,眾生對於苦聖諦如實地知曉,對於苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實地知曉的,也是如此。就像大雪山王的土石一樣,眾生對於苦聖諦不如實地知曉,對於苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦不如實地知曉的,也是如此。因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦尚未達到完全通達的,應當勤奮努力,生起增上的願望,學習達到完全通達。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

English version: The Buddha told the monks, 'Just as a great lake has a vast and immeasurable amount of water, similarly, a well-learned noble disciple who has fully realized the truth, attained the fruit of the noble path, and eradicated the roots of all suffering, is like a tree whose head has been cut off, and will not be reborn in future lives. The remaining defilements are as insignificant as the water that drips from the tip of a man's hair or fingernail. Therefore, monks! Those who have not yet fully understood the Four Noble Truths should strive diligently, generate a strong desire, and learn to fully understand them.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. Just as the metaphor of the great lake water, so too are the metaphors of Sarotataka, the Ganges, Yamuna, Sarayu, Iravati, and the four great oceans, as described above. (441) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One held a lump of earth in his hand, about the size of a pear, and said to the monks, 'How is it, monks? Is this lump of earth in my hand more, or is the earth and stone in the great Snow Mountain more?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'The lump of earth in the World-Honored One's hand is very little, while the king of the Snow Mountain has a great amount of earth and stone, hundreds of thousands of millions of nayutas, even calculations and comparisons cannot be made.' The Buddha told the monks, 'Just like this lump of earth I hold, so too are those beings who truly understand the Noble Truth of Suffering, and truly understand the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering. Just like the earth and stone of the great Snow Mountain, so too are those beings who do not truly understand the Noble Truth of Suffering, and do not truly understand the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering. Therefore, monks! Those who have not yet fully understood the Four Noble Truths should strive diligently, generate a strong desire, and learn to fully understand them.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.


如雪山王,如是尼民陀羅山、毗那多迦山、馬耳山、善見山、佉提羅迦山、伊沙陀羅山、由揵陀羅山、須彌山王,及大地土石,亦復如是。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊以爪甲擎土已,告諸比丘:「于意云何?我爪甲上土為多?此大地土多?」

諸比丘白佛言:「世尊甲上土甚少少耳,此大地土甚多無量,乃至算數譬類不可為比。」

佛告比丘:「如甲上土者,若諸眾生,形可見者,亦復如是。其形微細,不可見者,如大地土。是故,比丘!於四聖諦未無間等者,當勤方便,學無間等。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如陸地,如是水性亦爾。

如甲上土,如是眾生、人道者,亦復如是。

如大地土,如是非人亦爾。

如甲上土,如是眾生知此法、律者,亦復如是

現代漢語譯本 如同雪山之王,如同尼民陀羅山、毗那多迦山、馬耳山、善見山、佉提羅迦山、伊沙陀羅山、由揵陀羅山、須彌山王,以及大地上的土石,也是如此。 如同梨子,如同庵摩勒果、訶梨勒果、迦羅迦果、豆莢,乃至蒜頭,也是如此。 (四四二) 我聽到是這樣: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊用指甲挑起一些泥土,告訴眾比丘:『你們認為如何?我指甲上的泥土多,還是這大地上的泥土多?』 眾比丘對佛說:『世尊,您指甲上的泥土非常少,而這大地上的泥土非常多,無法用算數或比喻來衡量。』 佛告訴比丘們:『如同指甲上的泥土,那些形體可見的眾生也是如此。那些形體微細,不可見的眾生,如同大地上的泥土。因此,比丘們!對於四聖諦尚未達到無間等境界的人,應當勤奮努力,學習達到無間等境界。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 如同陸地,水中的生物也是如此。 如同指甲上的泥土,那些屬於人道的眾生也是如此。 如同大地上的泥土,那些非人道的眾生也是如此。 如同指甲上的泥土,那些出生在中央國度的人也是如此。 如同大地上的泥土,那些出生在邊遠地區的人也是如此。 如同指甲上的泥土,那些成就聖慧眼的人也是如此。 如同大地上的泥土,那些沒有成就聖慧眼的人也是如此。 如同指甲上的泥土,那些眾生知道這佛法和戒律的人也是如此。

Like a pear, like an amalaka fruit, a haritaki fruit, a karaka fruit, a bean pod, even a clove of garlic, it is also like that. (442) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. Then, the World-Honored One, having picked up some soil with his fingernail, said to the monks: 'What do you think? Is the soil on my fingernail more, or is the soil on this great earth more?' The monks said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, the soil on your fingernail is very little, while the soil on this great earth is very much, immeasurable, and cannot be compared by calculation or analogy.' The Buddha told the monks: 'Like the soil on the fingernail, those sentient beings whose forms are visible are also like that. Those whose forms are subtle and invisible are like the soil on the great earth. Therefore, monks! Those who have not yet attained uninterrupted equality in the Four Noble Truths should diligently strive to learn and attain uninterrupted equality.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. Like the land, so are the aquatic beings. Like the soil on the fingernail, so are the sentient beings in the human realm. Like the soil on the great earth, so are the non-human beings. Like the soil on the fingernail, so are those born in the central country. Like the soil on the great earth, so are those born in the borderlands. Like the soil on the fingernail, so are those who have attained the holy eye of wisdom. Like the soil on the great earth, so are those who have not attained the holy eye of wisdom. Like the soil on the fingernail, so are those sentient beings who know this Dharma and discipline.

Just like the dust on the earth, those beings who pass away from heaven and are reborn in hell are as many as that. Just like hell, so are the animals and hungry ghosts. (443) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, the Blessed One said to the monks: 'When I had not yet heard the Dharma, through right contemplation, right view arose regarding this noble truth of suffering; right view arose regarding this noble truth of the origin of suffering, this noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. Just as with what has already arisen, so it is with what is arising now and what will arise in the future. Just as with arising, so it is with origination, habituation, close practice, frequent practice, contact, and realization. (444) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, the Blessed One said to the monks: 'Suppose there is an eye medicine ball, one yojana deep and wide. If a man were to take this medicine ball and place it in sections, he could quickly use it up, but for those sections, he could not find the edge. You should know that those sections are countless. Therefore, monks! You should be skilled in learning about sections, skilled in learning about various sections, you should learn in this way.'

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『眾生常常與界限同在,與界限和合。眾生如何常常與界限同在呢?就是說眾生在行不善心時與不善的界限同在,行善心時與善的界限同在,行殊勝心時與殊勝的界限同在,行卑劣心時與卑劣的界限同在。因此,諸位比丘!應當這樣學習,善於分辨各種界限。』

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(四四六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘……內容如上所說。不同之處在於,世尊說了偈語:

『常會合故常生,相離則生斷滅,如同人執小木,而進入巨大海,人與木則俱沒,懈怠也是如此。應當遠離懈怠,以及卑劣的精進,賢聖之人不懈怠,安住于遠離。勤勉精進禪定,超脫生死輪迴,膠漆得以粘合,火得風而熾燃。珂乳顏色相同,眾生與界限同在,相似而共和合,增長也是如此。』

(四四七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『眾生常常與界限同在,與界限和合。如何與界限同在呢?就是說眾生在不善心時與不善的界限同在,善心時與善的界限同在,卑劣心時與卑劣的界限同在,殊勝心時與殊勝的界限同在。

English version Having spoken this sutra, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly.

(445)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'Beings are always associated with realms, and are in harmony with realms. How are beings always associated with realms? It is when beings act with unwholesome minds, they are associated with unwholesome realms; with wholesome minds, they are associated with wholesome realms; with superior minds, they are associated with superior realms; with inferior minds, they are associated with inferior realms. Therefore, bhikkhus! You should train yourselves to be skilled in discerning all kinds of realms.'

Having spoken this sutra, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly.

(446)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus... as described above. The difference is that he spoke these verses:

'Constant association leads to constant birth, separation leads to cessation. Like a person holding a small piece of wood, entering a vast ocean, the person and the wood both sink. So it is with laziness. One should abandon laziness, and inferior diligence. The noble ones are not lazy, they dwell in seclusion. Diligently practicing meditation, they transcend the stream of birth and death. Glue and lacquer adhere to their base, fire is fanned by the wind. Milk and ivory are of the same color, beings are associated with realms, similar and in harmony, and their growth is also like this.'

(447)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove, Kalandaka's Park, in Rajagaha.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'Beings are always associated with realms, and are in harmony with realms. How are they associated with realms? It is when beings have unwholesome minds, they are associated with unwholesome realms; with wholesome minds, they are associated with wholesome realms; with inferior minds, they are associated with inferior realms; with superior minds, they are associated with superior realms.

佛說是經時。諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本 當時,尊者憍陳如和眾多比丘在附近經行,他們都是年長的、博學的大德,出家很久,修行清凈的梵行。 又有尊者大迦葉和眾多比丘在附近經行,他們都是少欲知足,奉行頭陀苦行,不積蓄剩餘之物。 尊者舍利弗和眾多比丘在附近經行,他們都是具有大智慧和辯才的人。 當時,尊者大目犍連和眾多比丘在附近經行,他們都是具有神通和大力的人。 當時,阿那律陀和眾多比丘在附近經行,他們都是天眼明徹的人。 當時,尊者二十億耳和眾多比丘在附近經行,他們都是勇猛精進,專心修行的人。 當時,尊者陀驃和眾多比丘在附近經行,他們都是能夠為大眾準備供養物品的人。 當時,尊者優波離和眾多比丘在附近經行,他們都是通達戒律的人。 當時,尊者富樓那和眾多比丘在附近經行,他們都是善於辯論和說法的人。 當時,尊者迦旃延和眾多比丘在附近經行,他們都能分辨各種經典,善於講解佛法。 當時,尊者阿難和眾多比丘在附近經行,他們都是博聞強記的人。 當時,尊者羅睺羅和眾多比丘在附近經行,他們都是善於持守戒律的人。 當時,提婆達多和眾多比丘在附近經行,他們都是習慣於各種惡行的人。這就是比丘們常常與界限同在,與界限和合的情況。所以,諸位比丘!應當好好分辨各種界限。 佛陀說完這部經時,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。

(四四八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園……如上廣說已,即說偈言:

「常會故常生,  相離生則斷,  如人執小木,  而入于巨海,  人木則俱沒,  懈怠俱亦然。  當離於懈怠,  卑劣之精進,  賢聖不懈怠,  安住于遠離。  慇勤精進禪,  超度生死流,  膠漆得其素,  火得風熾然。  珂乳則同色,  眾生與界俱,  相似共和合,  增長亦復然。」

(四四九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「眾生常與界俱,與界和合……」如是廣說,乃至「勝心生時與勝界俱,鄙心生時與鄙界俱,殺生時與殺界俱,盜淫、妄語、飲酒心時,與,飲酒界俱;不殺生時與不殺界俱,不盜、不淫、不妄語、不飲酒,與,不飲酒界俱。是故,諸比丘!當善分別種種界。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「眾生常與界俱,與界和合

現代漢語譯本 (四四八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園……像上面詳細說的那樣,然後說了偈語: 『常常相會就常常產生, 相互分離就產生斷滅, 就像人抓住小木片, 而進入巨大的海洋, 人和木片都會沉沒, 懈怠也是這樣。 應當遠離懈怠, 卑劣的精進, 賢聖之人不懈怠, 安住在遠離之處。 勤奮精進禪定, 超越生死輪迴, 膠漆得到它的本質, 火得到風就熾烈燃燒。 珂乳顏色相同, 眾生與界在一起, 相似的共同結合, 增長也是這樣。』 (四四九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『眾生常常與界在一起,與界和合……』像這樣詳細地說,乃至『當勝心生起時與勝界在一起,當鄙心生起時與鄙界在一起,當殺生時與殺界在一起,當盜淫、妄語、飲酒心生起時,與飲酒界在一起;當不殺生時與不殺界在一起,當不盜、不淫、不妄語、不飲酒時,與不飲酒界在一起。因此,諸位比丘!應當好好分別種種界。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (四五〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『眾生常常與界在一起,與界和合

English version (448) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha... Having spoken extensively as above, he then spoke the verses: 'Constant meeting leads to constant arising, Separation leads to cessation, Like a person grasping a small piece of wood, And entering a vast ocean, Both the person and the wood will sink, So too is it with laziness. One should abandon laziness, The inferior kind of diligence, The wise and noble do not slacken, They dwell in seclusion. Diligent in meditative practice, Transcending the stream of birth and death, Glue and lacquer obtain their essence, Fire is ignited by the wind. Milk and pearl are of the same color, Beings and realms are together, Similar and in common union, Growth is also like this.' (449) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'Beings are always with realms, united with realms...' Having spoken extensively in this way, even to 'When a superior mind arises, it is with a superior realm; when an inferior mind arises, it is with an inferior realm; when killing occurs, it is with the realm of killing; when stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, or drinking alcohol occur, it is with the realm of drinking alcohol; when not killing occurs, it is with the realm of not killing; when not stealing, not engaging in sexual misconduct, not lying, or not drinking alcohol occur, it is with the realm of not drinking alcohol. Therefore, monks! You should carefully distinguish the various realms.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (450) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.

。不信時與不信界俱,犯戒時與犯戒界俱,無慚無愧時與無慚無愧界俱;信心時與信界俱,持戒時與持戒界俱,慚愧心時與慚愧界俱。是故,諸比丘!當善分別種種諸界。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如信、不信。如是精進、不精進,失念、不失念,正受、不正受,多聞、少聞,慳者、施者,惡慧、善慧,難養、易養,難滿、易滿,多欲、少欲,知足、不知足,攝受、不攝受界俱,如上經。如是廣說。

(四五一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說種種諸界。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。云何為種種界?謂眼界、色界、眼識界,耳界、聲界、耳識界,鼻界、香界、鼻識界,舌界、味界、舌識界,身界、觸界、身識界,意界、法界、意識界,是名種種界。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四五二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「緣種種界生種種觸,緣種種觸生種種受,緣種種受生種種愛。云何種種界?謂十八界,眼界、色界、眼識界,乃至意界、法界、意識界,是名種種界

現代漢語譯本:不相信的時候與不相信的界限同在,犯戒的時候與犯戒的界限同在,沒有慚愧心的時候與沒有慚愧心的界限同在;有信心的時候與信心的界限同在,持戒的時候與持戒的界限同在,有慚愧心的時候與慚愧心的界限同在。因此,各位比丘!應當好好分辨各種不同的界限。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 如同信心與不信。像這樣,精進與不精進,失念與不失念,正受與不正受,多聞與少聞,吝嗇者與佈施者,惡慧與善慧,難養與易養,難滿足與易滿足,多欲與少欲,知足與不知足,攝受與不攝受的界限同在,如同上面的經文所說。像這樣廣泛地闡述。 (四五一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說各種不同的界限。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。什麼是各種不同的界限呢?就是眼界、色界、眼識界,耳界、聲界、耳識界,鼻界、香界、鼻識界,舌界、味界、舌識界,身界、觸界、身識界,意界、法界、意識界,這些就叫做各種不同的界限。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四五二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『由於各種不同的界限產生各種不同的觸,由於各種不同的觸產生各種不同的感受,由於各種不同的感受產生各種不同的愛。什麼是各種不同的界限呢?就是十八界,眼界、色界、眼識界,乃至意界、法界、意識界,這些就叫做各種不同的界限。』

English version: When there is no belief, it is together with the realm of no belief; when there is transgression of precepts, it is together with the realm of transgression; when there is no shame or remorse, it is together with the realm of no shame or remorse; when there is faith, it is together with the realm of faith; when there is adherence to precepts, it is together with the realm of adherence; when there is a sense of shame and remorse, it is together with the realm of shame and remorse. Therefore, O monks! You should carefully distinguish all the various realms. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. Like faith and no faith. Likewise, diligence and non-diligence, mindfulness and non-mindfulness, right reception and wrong reception, much learning and little learning, the miser and the giver, bad wisdom and good wisdom, difficult to nourish and easy to nourish, difficult to satisfy and easy to satisfy, much desire and little desire, contentment and discontentment, the realm of acceptance and non-acceptance are together, as mentioned in the above sutra. Thus, it is extensively explained. (451) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'I will now speak of the various realms. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. What are the various realms? They are the eye realm, the form realm, the eye consciousness realm, the ear realm, the sound realm, the ear consciousness realm, the nose realm, the smell realm, the nose consciousness realm, the tongue realm, the taste realm, the tongue consciousness realm, the body realm, the touch realm, the body consciousness realm, the mind realm, the dharma realm, and the mind consciousness realm. These are called the various realms.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (452) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'Due to the various realms, various contacts arise; due to the various contacts, various feelings arise; due to the various feelings, various cravings arise. What are the various realms? They are the eighteen realms: the eye realm, the form realm, the eye consciousness realm, up to the mind realm, the dharma realm, and the mind consciousness realm. These are called the various realms.'


「云何緣種種界生種種觸,乃至云何緣種種受生種種愛?謂緣眼界生眼觸,緣眼觸生眼觸生受,緣眼觸生受生眼觸生愛。耳、鼻、舌、身、意界緣生意觸,緣意觸生意觸生受,緣意觸生受生意觸生愛。

「諸比丘!非緣種種愛生種種受,非緣種種受生種種觸,非緣種種觸生種種界,要緣種種界生種種觸,緣種種觸生種種受,緣種種受生種種愛,是名比丘緣種種界生種種觸,緣種種觸生種種受,緣種種受生種種愛。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「緣種種界生種種觸,緣種種觸生種種受,緣種種受生種種愛。云何種種界?謂十八界,眼界、色界、眼識界,乃至意界、法界、意識界,是名種種界。

「云何緣種種界生種種觸?緣種種觸生種種受?緣種種受生種種愛?謂緣眼界生眼觸,非緣眼觸生眼界,但緣眼界生眼觸;緣眼觸生眼受,非緣眼受生眼觸,但緣眼觸生眼受;緣眼受生眼愛,非緣眼愛生眼受,但緣眼受生眼愛

現代漢語譯本 『為何因種種界而生種種觸,乃至為何因種種受而生種種愛?』意思是說,因眼界而生眼觸,因眼觸而生眼觸所生的感受,因眼觸所生的感受而生眼觸所生的愛。耳、鼻、舌、身、意界因意觸而生,因意觸而生意觸所生的感受,因意觸所生的感受而生意觸所生的愛。 『諸位比丘!不是因種種愛而生種種受,不是因種種受而生種種觸,不是因種種觸而生種種界,而是因種種界而生種種觸,因種種觸而生種種受,因種種受而生種種愛,這才是比丘所說的因種種界而生種種觸,因種種觸而生種種受,因種種受而生種種愛。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四五三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『因種種界而生種種觸,因種種觸而生種種受,因種種受而生種種愛。什麼是種種界呢?就是十八界,眼界、色界、眼識界,乃至意界、法界、意識界,這就是所謂的種種界。』 『為何因種種界而生種種觸?因種種觸而生種種受?因種種受而生種種愛?』意思是說,因眼界而生眼觸,不是因眼觸而生眼界,而是因眼界而生眼觸;因眼觸而生眼受,不是因眼受而生眼觸,而是因眼觸而生眼受;因眼受而生眼愛,不是因眼愛而生眼受,而是因眼受而生眼愛。

English version 'Why do various contacts arise from various realms, and why does various love arise from various feelings?' It means that eye contact arises from the eye realm, feeling arising from eye contact arises from eye contact, and love arising from eye contact arises from feeling arising from eye contact. The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind realms arise from mind contact, feeling arising from mind contact arises from mind contact, and love arising from mind contact arises from feeling arising from mind contact. 'Monks! It is not that various feelings arise from various loves, it is not that various contacts arise from various feelings, it is not that various realms arise from various contacts, but rather that various contacts arise from various realms, various feelings arise from various contacts, and various loves arise from various feelings. This is what monks mean by various contacts arising from various realms, various feelings arising from various contacts, and various loves arising from various feelings.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (453) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

。如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意界緣生意觸,非緣意觸生意界,但緣意界生意觸;緣意觸生意受,非緣意受生意觸,但緣意觸生意受;緣意受生意愛,非緣意愛生意受,但緣意受生意愛。

「是故,比丘!非緣種種愛生種種受,非緣種種受生種種觸,非緣種種觸生種種界;但緣種種界生種種觸,緣種種觸生種種受,緣種種受生種種愛,是名比丘當善分別種種界。」

如是我聞:

「云何種種界?謂十八界,眼界,乃至法界。

現代漢語譯本: 『就像這樣,當耳、鼻、舌、身、意這六個感官與外界接觸時,會產生相應的觸覺,但並非因為有了意觸才產生意界,而是因為有了意界才產生意觸;因為有了意觸才產生感受,但並非因為有了感受才產生意觸,而是因為有了意觸才產生感受;因為有了感受才產生愛慾,但並非因為有了愛慾才產生感受,而是因為有了感受才產生愛慾。 『因此,比丘們!不是因為有了各種各樣的愛慾才產生各種各樣的感受,不是因為有了各種各樣的感受才產生各種各樣的觸覺,也不是因為有了各種各樣的觸覺才產生各種各樣的界;而是因為有了各種各樣的界才產生各種各樣的觸覺,因為有了各種各樣的觸覺才產生各種各樣的感受,因為有了各種各樣的感受才產生各種各樣的愛慾,這就是比丘們應當善於分辨各種各樣的界。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 (四五四) 我聽到的是這樣的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『因為有了各種各樣的界才產生各種各樣的觸覺,因為有了各種各樣的觸覺才產生各種各樣的感受,因為有了各種各樣的感受才產生各種各樣的想法,因為有了各種各樣的想法才產生各種各樣的慾望,因為有了各種各樣的慾望才產生各種各樣的覺知,因為有了各種各樣的覺知才產生各種各樣的熱惱,因為有了各種各樣的熱惱才產生各種各樣的追求。 『什麼是各種各樣的界呢?就是十八界,即眼界,乃至法界。』 『什麼是因為有了各種各樣的界才產生各種各樣的觸覺,乃至因為有了各種各樣的熱惱才產生各種各樣的追求呢?就是因為有了眼界才產生眼觸,因為有了眼觸才產生眼受,因為有了眼受才產生眼想,因為有了眼想才產生眼欲,因為有了眼欲才產生眼覺,因為有了眼覺才產生眼熱,因為有了眼熱才產生眼求。同樣,耳、鼻、舌、身、意這六個感官與外界接觸時,會產生相應的觸覺,因為有了意觸才產生意受,因為有了意受才產生意想,因為有了意想才產生意覺,因為有了意覺才產生意熱,因為有了意熱才產生意求,這就是比丘們所說的因為有了各種各樣的界才產生各種各樣的觸覺,乃至因為有了各種各樣的熱惱才產生各種各樣的追求。』

English version: 'It is like this: when the six senses of ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind come into contact with the external world, corresponding sensations arise. However, it is not that the mind-contact gives rise to the mind-sphere, but rather that the mind-sphere gives rise to mind-contact; because there is mind-contact, feelings arise, but it is not that feelings give rise to mind-contact, but rather that mind-contact gives rise to feelings; because there are feelings, desires arise, but it is not that desires give rise to feelings, but rather that feelings give rise to desires.' 'Therefore, monks! It is not that various desires give rise to various feelings, nor that various feelings give rise to various contacts, nor that various contacts give rise to various spheres; but rather that various spheres give rise to various contacts, various contacts give rise to various feelings, and various feelings give rise to various desires. This is what monks should be skilled in distinguishing the various spheres.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them. (454) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'Because of various spheres, various contacts arise; because of various contacts, various feelings arise; because of various feelings, various thoughts arise; because of various thoughts, various desires arise; because of various desires, various awarenesses arise; because of various awarenesses, various heat arises; and because of various heat, various pursuits arise.' 'What are the various spheres? They are the eighteen spheres, namely, the eye-sphere, and so on, up to the mind-sphere.' 'How do various spheres give rise to various contacts, and so on, up to how various heat gives rise to various pursuits? It is that because of the eye-sphere, eye-contact arises; because of eye-contact, eye-feeling arises; because of eye-feeling, eye-thought arises; because of eye-thought, eye-desire arises; because of eye-desire, eye-awareness arises; because of eye-awareness, eye-heat arises; and because of eye-heat, eye-pursuit arises. Similarly, when the six senses of ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind come into contact with the external world, corresponding sensations arise. Because of mind-contact, mind-feeling arises; because of mind-feeling, mind-thought arises; because of mind-thought, mind-awareness arises; because of mind-awareness, mind-heat arises; and because of mind-heat, mind-pursuit arises. This is what monks mean when they say that because of various spheres, various contacts arise, and so on, up to because of various heat, various pursuits arise.'


「比丘!非緣種種求生種種熱,非緣種種熱生種種覺,非緣種種覺生種種想,非緣種種想生種種受,非緣種種受生種種觸,非緣種種觸生種種界,但緣種種界生種種觸,乃至緣種種熱生種種求。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

雜阿含經卷第十七

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯雜因誦第三品之五

(四五六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有光界、凈界、無量空入處界、無量識入處界、無所有入處界、非想非非想入處界、有滅界。」

時,有異比丘從座起,整衣服,稽首禮足,合掌白佛言:「世尊!彼光界、凈界、無量空入處界、無量識入處界、無所有入處界、非想非非想入處界、滅界。如此諸界,何因緣可知?」

佛告比丘:「彼光界者,緣闇故可知,凈界緣不凈故可知,無量空入處界者,緣色故可知,無量識入處界者,緣內故可知,無所有入處界者,緣所有可知,非想非非想入處界者,緣有第一故可知,滅界者,緣有身可知

現代漢語譯本 『比丘們!不是因為種種的渴求而產生種種的熱惱,不是因為種種的熱惱而產生種種的感受,不是因為種種的感受而產生種種的思緒,不是因為種種的思緒而產生種種的領受,不是因為種種的領受而產生種種的觸覺,不是因為種種的觸覺而產生種種的界限,而是因為種種的界限而產生種種的觸覺,乃至因為種種的熱惱而產生種種的渴求。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 《雜阿含經》卷第十六 大正藏第02冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第十七 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯《雜因誦》第三品之五 (四五六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有光界、凈界、無量空入處界、無量識入處界、無所有入處界、非想非非想入處界、有滅界。』 當時,有一位比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀稽首行禮,合掌對佛陀說:『世尊!那光界、凈界、無量空入處界、無量識入處界、無所有入處界、非想非非想入處界、滅界。這些界,是因何緣故可以被知曉呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『那光界,是因為有黑暗的緣故可以被知曉;凈界,是因為有不凈的緣故可以被知曉;無量空入處界,是因為有色相的緣故可以被知曉;無量識入處界,是因為有內在的緣故可以被知曉;無所有入處界,是因為有所有的緣故可以被知曉;非想非非想入處界,是因為有第一的緣故可以被知曉;滅界,是因為有身體的緣故可以被知曉。』

English version 'Monks! It is not because of various cravings that various heat arises, not because of various heat that various feelings arise, not because of various feelings that various thoughts arise, not because of various thoughts that various perceptions arise, not because of various perceptions that various contacts arise, not because of various contacts that various realms arise, but because of various realms that various contacts arise, and even because of various heat that various cravings arise.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Volume 16 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 02, No. 0099, Miscellaneous Agama Sutra The Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Volume 17 Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Guṇabhadra of the Song Dynasty, India, Chapter Five of the Third Section of the Miscellaneous Causes Recitation (456) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'There are the realm of light, the realm of purity, the realm of the sphere of infinite space, the realm of the sphere of infinite consciousness, the realm of the sphere of nothingness, the realm of the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, and the realm of cessation.' Then, a certain monk rose from his seat, arranged his robe, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! These realms—the realm of light, the realm of purity, the realm of the sphere of infinite space, the realm of the sphere of infinite consciousness, the realm of the sphere of nothingness, the realm of the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, and the realm of cessation—by what cause and condition can they be known?' The Buddha told the monk, 'The realm of light can be known because of darkness; the realm of purity can be known because of impurity; the realm of the sphere of infinite space can be known because of form; the realm of the sphere of infinite consciousness can be known because of the internal; the realm of the sphere of nothingness can be known because of something; the realm of the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception can be known because of the first; and the realm of cessation can be known because of the body.'


。」

諸比丘白佛言:「世尊!彼光界,乃至滅界,以何正受而得?」

佛告比丘:「彼光界、凈界、無量空入處界、無量識入處界、無所有入處界,此諸界于自行正受而得,非想非非想入處界,于第一有正受而得,滅界者,于有身滅正受而得。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四五七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國東園鹿子母講堂。

爾時,世尊晡時從禪覺,于講堂陰中敷座,于大眾前坐,說優檀那句,告諸比丘:「緣界故生說,非不界,緣界故生見,非不界,緣界故生想,非不界。緣地獄,我說生下說、下見、下想、下思、下欲、下愿、下士夫、下所作、下施設、下建立、下部分、下顯示、下受生。如是中。如是勝界,緣勝界,我說彼生勝說、勝見、勝想、勝思、勝愿、勝士夫、勝所作、勝施設、勝建立、勝部分、勝顯示、勝受生勝。」

時,有婆迦利比丘在佛后執扇扇佛,白佛言:「世尊!若於三藐三佛陀起非三藐三佛陀見,彼見亦緣界而生耶?」

佛告比丘:「於三藐三佛陀起非三藐三佛陀見,亦緣界而生,非不界

現代漢語譯本: 「諸位比丘,請問世尊,那光界,乃至滅界,是通過什麼樣的正確禪定而獲得的呢?」 佛陀告訴比丘們:「那光界、凈界、無量空入處界、無量識入處界、無所有入處界,這些境界是通過自行正確的禪定而獲得的。非想非非想入處界,是通過第一有禪定而獲得的。至於滅界,則是通過有身滅的正確禪定而獲得的。」 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (四五七) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國東園的鹿子母講堂。 那時,世尊在傍晚時分從禪定中醒來,在講堂的陰涼處鋪設座位,在大眾面前坐下,說了優檀那的偈語,並告訴眾比丘:「因為有界限的緣故才產生言說,不是沒有界限;因為有界限的緣故才產生見解,不是沒有界限;因為有界限的緣故才產生思想,不是沒有界限。因為有地獄的緣故,我說產生下等的言說、下等的見解、下等的思想、下等的思慮、下等的慾望、下等的願望、下等的人、下等的行為、下等的設施、下等的建立、下等的部分、下等的顯示、下等的受生。同樣,對於中等也是如此。對於勝界,因為有勝界的緣故,我說產生勝等的言說、勝等的見解、勝等的思想、勝等的思慮、勝等的願望、勝等的人、勝等的行為、勝等的設施、勝等的建立、勝等的部分、勝等的顯示、勝等的受生。」 當時,有一位名叫婆迦利的比丘在佛陀身後執扇為佛陀扇風,他問佛陀說:「世尊,如果有人對正等正覺的佛陀產生非正等正覺的見解,那麼這種見解也是因為有界限的緣故而產生的嗎?」 佛陀告訴比丘:「對於正等正覺的佛陀產生非正等正覺的見解,也是因為有界限的緣故而產生的,不是沒有界限。」

English version: 『Venerable Sir,』 the monks said to the Buddha, 『by what right attainment is that realm of light, and even the realm of cessation, attained?』 The Buddha told the monks, 『That realm of light, the realm of purity, the realm of the sphere of infinite space, the realm of the sphere of infinite consciousness, the realm of the sphere of nothingness—these realms are attained by right attainment through one's own practice. The realm of the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception is attained by right attainment in the first existence. As for the realm of cessation, it is attained by right attainment through the cessation of the body.』 Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. (457) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at the Eastern Garden in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One, in the late afternoon, arose from meditation, arranged a seat in the shade of the lecture hall, sat down in front of the assembly, spoke the Udana verses, and told the monks, 『Because of a realm, speech arises, not without a realm; because of a realm, view arises, not without a realm; because of a realm, thought arises, not without a realm. Because of an inferior realm, I say that inferior speech, inferior view, inferior thought, inferior consideration, inferior desire, inferior wish, inferior person, inferior action, inferior establishment, inferior foundation, inferior part, inferior manifestation, and inferior rebirth arise. Likewise for the intermediate. Likewise for the superior realm, because of a superior realm, I say that superior speech, superior view, superior thought, superior consideration, superior wish, superior person, superior action, superior establishment, superior foundation, superior part, superior manifestation, and superior rebirth arise.』 At that time, the monk Vakkali was standing behind the Buddha, fanning him with a fan. He said to the Buddha, 『Venerable Sir, if one has a view of the Fully Enlightened Buddha that is not a view of the Fully Enlightened Buddha, does that view also arise because of a realm?』 The Buddha told the monk, 『Having a view of the Fully Enlightened Buddha that is not a view of the Fully Enlightened Buddha also arises because of a realm, not without a realm.』


。所以者何?凡夫界者,是無明界,如我先說,緣地獄生下說、下見,乃至下受生,中勝界生勝說、勝見,乃至勝受生。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四五八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有因生欲想,非無因,有因生恚想、害想,非無因。

「云何因生欲想?謂緣欲界也。緣欲界故,生欲想、欲欲、欲覺、欲熱、欲求。愚癡凡夫起欲求已,此眾生起三處邪,謂身、口、心。如是邪因緣故,現法苦住,有苦、有礙、有惱、有熱,身壞命終,生惡趣中,是名因緣生欲想。

「云何因緣生恚想、害想?謂害界也。緣害界,生害想、害欲、害覺、害熱、害求,愚癡凡夫起害求已,此眾生起三處邪,謂身、口、心。起三處邪因緣已,現法苦住,有苦、有礙、有惱、有熱,身壞命終,生惡趣中,是名因緣生害想。

「諸比丘!若諸沙門、婆羅門如是安於生,生危險想,不求舍離,不覺、不吐,彼則現法苦住,有苦、有礙、有惱、有熱,身壞命終,生惡趣中。譬如城邑聚落不遠有曠野,大火卒起,彼無有力能滅火者,當知彼諸野中眾生悉被火害。如是諸沙門、婆羅門安於生,生危險想,身壞命終,生惡趣中

這是什麼原因呢?凡夫所處的境界,是無明的境界。正如我之前所說,由於處於下等境界,就會產生下等的言論、下等的見解,乃至下等的感受;處於中等或殊勝的境界,就會產生殊勝的言論、殊勝的見解,乃至殊勝的感受。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (四五八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『產生慾望的想法是有原因的,不是沒有原因的;產生嗔恨的想法和傷害的想法也是有原因的,不是沒有原因的。』 『什麼原因會產生慾望的想法呢?就是因為執著于慾望的境界。因為執著于慾望的境界,就會產生慾望的想法、慾望的渴求、慾望的感受、慾望的熾熱、慾望的追求。愚癡的凡夫產生慾望的追求后,這個眾生就會在身、口、心三個方面產生邪惡的行為。因為這樣的邪惡因緣,導致今生遭受痛苦,有苦惱、有障礙、有煩惱、有焦躁,身體壞死,生命終結后,會墮入惡道之中。這就是因緣產生慾望的想法。』 『什麼因緣會產生嗔恨的想法和傷害的想法呢?就是因為執著于傷害的境界。因為執著于傷害的境界,就會產生傷害的想法、傷害的渴求、傷害的感受、傷害的熾熱、傷害的追求。愚癡的凡夫產生傷害的追求后,這個眾生就會在身、口、心三個方面產生邪惡的行為。因為這樣的邪惡因緣,導致今生遭受痛苦,有苦惱、有障礙、有煩惱、有焦躁,身體壞死,生命終結后,會墮入惡道之中。這就是因緣產生傷害的想法。』 『諸位比丘!如果那些沙門、婆羅門安於這種『生』的狀態,認為『生』是危險的,卻不尋求捨棄,不覺悟、不吐露,他們就會在今生遭受痛苦,有苦惱、有障礙、有煩惱、有焦躁,身體壞死,生命終結后,會墮入惡道之中。譬如在城鎮村落不遠的地方有片曠野,突然燃起大火,那裡沒有能夠滅火的人,可以知道曠野中的眾生都會被火燒傷。同樣的,那些沙門、婆羅門安於『生』的狀態,認為『生』是危險的,身體壞死,生命終結后,會墮入惡道之中。』

What is the reason for this? The realm of ordinary beings is the realm of ignorance. As I said before, due to being in a lower realm, one generates lower speech, lower views, and even lower sensations; being in a middle or superior realm, one generates superior speech, superior views, and even superior sensations. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (458) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'The arising of thoughts of desire has a cause, it is not without a cause; the arising of thoughts of anger and harm also has a cause, it is not without a cause.' 'What cause gives rise to thoughts of desire? It is attachment to the realm of desire. Because of attachment to the realm of desire, thoughts of desire, cravings for desire, feelings of desire, the heat of desire, and the pursuit of desire arise. When foolish ordinary beings generate the pursuit of desire, these beings create evil in three areas: body, speech, and mind. Because of these evil causes, they experience suffering in this life, with pain, obstacles, vexation, and agitation. When the body breaks down and life ends, they fall into evil realms. This is how thoughts of desire arise from causes.' 'What causes give rise to thoughts of anger and harm? It is attachment to the realm of harm. Because of attachment to the realm of harm, thoughts of harm, cravings for harm, feelings of harm, the heat of harm, and the pursuit of harm arise. When foolish ordinary beings generate the pursuit of harm, these beings create evil in three areas: body, speech, and mind. Because of these evil causes, they experience suffering in this life, with pain, obstacles, vexation, and agitation. When the body breaks down and life ends, they fall into evil realms. This is how thoughts of harm arise from causes.' 'Monks, if those ascetics and Brahmins are content with this state of 'birth,' considering 'birth' to be dangerous, yet do not seek to abandon it, do not awaken to it, and do not express it, they will experience suffering in this life, with pain, obstacles, vexation, and agitation. When the body breaks down and life ends, they will fall into evil realms. Just as there is a wilderness not far from a town or village, and a great fire suddenly arises, and there is no one there who can extinguish the fire, it is known that all the beings in that wilderness will be harmed by the fire. Likewise, those ascetics and Brahmins who are content with the state of 'birth,' considering 'birth' to be dangerous, when the body breaks down and life ends, will fall into evil realms.'


「諸比丘!有因生出要想,非無因。云何有因生出要想?謂出要界,緣出要界,生出要想、出要欲、出要覺、出要熱、出要求,謂彼慧者出要求時,眾生三處生正,謂身、口、心,彼如是生正因緣已,現法樂住,不苦、不礙、不惱、不熱,身壞命終,生善趣中,是名因緣生出要想。

「云何因緣生不恚、不害想?謂不害界也,不害界因緣生不害想、不害欲、不害覺、不害熱、不害求,彼慧者不害求時,眾生三處正,謂身、口、心。彼正因緣生已,現法樂住,不苦、不礙、不惱、不熱,身壞命終,生善趣中,是名因緣生不害想。

「若諸沙門、婆羅門安於生,生不害想,不捨離、不覺、不吐,現法樂住,不苦、不礙、不惱、不熱,身壞命終,生善趣中。譬如城邑聚落邊有曠野,大火卒起,有人堪能手足滅火,當知彼諸眾生依草木者,悉不被害。如是諸沙門、婆羅門安於生,生正想,不捨、不覺、不吐,現法樂住,不苦、不礙、不惱、不熱,身壞命終,生善趣中。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四五九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 『諸位比丘!產生想要(出離)的念頭是有原因的,不是沒有原因的。什麼是有原因地產生想要(出離)的念頭呢?就是因為有出離的界限,緣于出離的界限,產生想要出離的念頭、出離的慾望、出離的覺悟、出離的熱情、出離的追求。當這位有智慧的人追求出離時,眾生的身、口、意三處都會變得正直。當他這樣正直的因緣產生后,就能在當下安樂地生活,不感到痛苦、障礙、煩惱和焦躁。當他身壞命終時,會往生到善趣之中。這被稱為因緣產生想要出離的念頭。 『什麼因緣會產生不嗔恨、不傷害的念頭呢?就是因為有不傷害的界限。緣于不傷害的界限,產生不傷害的念頭、不傷害的慾望、不傷害的覺悟、不傷害的熱情、不傷害的追求。當這位有智慧的人追求不傷害時,眾生的身、口、意三處都會變得正直。當他這樣正直的因緣產生后,就能在當下安樂地生活,不感到痛苦、障礙、煩惱和焦躁。當他身壞命終時,會往生到善趣之中。這被稱為因緣產生不傷害的念頭。 『如果沙門、婆羅門安住于(正確的)生,產生不傷害的念頭,不捨棄、不覺悟、不吐露,就能在當下安樂地生活,不感到痛苦、障礙、煩惱和焦躁。當他身壞命終時,會往生到善趣之中。譬如在城鎮村落的旁邊有曠野,突然發生大火,有人能夠用手腳滅火,那麼要知道那些依靠草木的眾生,都不會受到傷害。同樣的,如果沙門、婆羅門安住于(正確的)生,產生正確的念頭,不捨棄、不覺悟、不吐露,就能在當下安樂地生活,不感到痛苦、障礙、煩惱和焦躁。當他身壞命終時,會往生到善趣之中。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (四五九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version 'Monks, the arising of the thought of wanting (to renounce) has a cause, it is not without a cause. What is the cause for the arising of the thought of wanting (to renounce)? It is because there is a realm of renunciation. Conditioned by the realm of renunciation, there arises the thought of wanting to renounce, the desire for renunciation, the understanding of renunciation, the enthusiasm for renunciation, and the pursuit of renunciation. When this wise person pursues renunciation, the three aspects of a being—body, speech, and mind—become upright. When this upright condition arises, one can live happily in the present, without feeling pain, obstruction, vexation, or agitation. When the body breaks up at death, one is reborn in a good destination. This is called the cause for the arising of the thought of wanting to renounce.' 'What is the cause for the arising of the thought of non-hatred and non-harm? It is because there is a realm of non-harm. Conditioned by the realm of non-harm, there arises the thought of non-harm, the desire for non-harm, the understanding of non-harm, the enthusiasm for non-harm, and the pursuit of non-harm. When this wise person pursues non-harm, the three aspects of a being—body, speech, and mind—become upright. When this upright condition arises, one can live happily in the present, without feeling pain, obstruction, vexation, or agitation. When the body breaks up at death, one is reborn in a good destination. This is called the cause for the arising of the thought of non-harm.' 'If ascetics and brahmins abide in (correct) existence, generate the thought of non-harm, and do not abandon, understand, or express it, they can live happily in the present, without feeling pain, obstruction, vexation, or agitation. When the body breaks up at death, they are reborn in a good destination. Just as there is a wilderness next to a town or village, and a great fire suddenly breaks out, if someone is able to extinguish the fire with their hands and feet, then know that those beings who rely on grass and trees will not be harmed. Similarly, if ascetics and brahmins abide in (correct) existence, generate the correct thought, and do not abandon, understand, or express it, they can live happily in the present, without feeling pain, obstruction, vexation, or agitation. When the body breaks up at death, they are reborn in a good destination.' After the Buddha finished speaking this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (459) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


時,有婆羅門來詣佛所,與世尊面相慰勞已,於一面住,白佛言:「眾生非自作、非他作?」

佛告婆羅門:「如是論者,我不與相見,汝今自來,而言我非自作、非他作?」

婆羅門言:「云何?瞿曇!眾生為自作、為他作耶?」

佛告婆羅門:「我今問汝,隨意答我。婆羅門!于意云何?有眾生方便界,令諸眾生知作方便耶?」

婆羅門言:「瞿曇!有眾生方便界,令諸眾生知作方便也。」

佛告婆羅門:「若有方便界,令諸眾生知有方便者,是則眾生自作、是則他作。婆羅門!于意云何?有眾生安住界、堅固界、出界、造作界,令彼眾生知有造作耶?」

婆羅門白佛:「有眾生安住界、堅固界、出界、造作界,令諸眾生知有造作。」

佛告婆羅門:「若彼安住界、堅固界、出界、造作界,令諸眾生知有造作者,是則眾生自作、是則他作。」

婆羅門白佛:「有眾生自作、有他作,瞿曇!世間多事,今當請辭。」

佛告婆羅門:「世間多事,宜知是時。」

時,彼婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起去。

(四六〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位婆羅門來到佛陀所在的地方,與世尊互相問候之後,在一旁坐下,對佛陀說:『眾生的行為不是自己造成的,也不是別人造成的,是這樣嗎?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『像你這樣論述的人,我不會與他相見。你現在自己來了,卻說眾生的行為不是自己造成的,也不是別人造成的?』 婆羅門說:『那麼,瞿曇!眾生的行為到底是自己造成的,還是別人造成的呢?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。婆羅門!你認為怎麼樣?是否存在一種眾生能夠了解如何行動的方便界,使得眾生知道如何行動呢?』 婆羅門說:『瞿曇!存在一種眾生能夠了解如何行動的方便界,使得眾生知道如何行動。』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『如果存在一種方便界,使得眾生知道如何行動,那麼眾生的行為就是自己造成的,也是別人造成的。婆羅門!你認為怎麼樣?是否存在一種眾生安住的界限、堅固的界限、出離的界限、造作的界限,使得眾生知道有造作呢?』 婆羅門對佛陀說:『存在一種眾生安住的界限、堅固的界限、出離的界限、造作的界限,使得眾生知道有造作。』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『如果存在安住的界限、堅固的界限、出離的界限、造作的界限,使得眾生知道有造作,那麼眾生的行為就是自己造成的,也是別人造成的。』 婆羅門對佛陀說:『眾生的行為既有自己造成的,也有別人造成的。瞿曇!世間的事情很多,我現在要告辭了。』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『世間的事情很多,你應該知道什麼時候該離開了。』 當時,那位婆羅門聽了佛陀所說的話,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離開了。 (四六〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。

English version: At that time, a Brahmin came to where the Buddha was, and after exchanging greetings with the World-Honored One, sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Is it true that beings' actions are neither self-made nor made by others?' The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'I do not meet with those who argue like that. You have come here yourself, and yet you say that beings' actions are neither self-made nor made by others?' The Brahmin said, 'Then, Gautama, are beings' actions self-made or made by others?' The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'Now I will ask you, answer me as you please. Brahmin, what do you think? Is there a realm of means for beings, which enables them to know how to act?' The Brahmin said, 'Gautama, there is a realm of means for beings, which enables them to know how to act.' The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'If there is a realm of means that enables beings to know how to act, then beings' actions are both self-made and made by others. Brahmin, what do you think? Is there a realm of dwelling, a realm of firmness, a realm of departure, a realm of creation for beings, which enables them to know that there is creation?' The Brahmin said to the Buddha, 'There is a realm of dwelling, a realm of firmness, a realm of departure, a realm of creation for beings, which enables them to know that there is creation.' The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'If there is a realm of dwelling, a realm of firmness, a realm of departure, a realm of creation, which enables beings to know that there is creation, then beings' actions are both self-made and made by others.' The Brahmin said to the Buddha, 'Beings' actions are both self-made and made by others, Gautama! There are many things to do in the world, I will now take my leave.' The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'There are many things to do in the world, you should know when it is time to leave.' Then, that Brahmin, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and, with a joyful heart, rose from his seat and departed. (460) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Ghosita Garden in the country of Kausambi.


爾時,瞿師羅長者詣尊者阿難所,禮尊者阿難足,退坐一面,白尊者阿難:「所說種種界。云何為種種界?」

尊者阿難告瞿師羅長者:「眼界異、色界異喜處,二因緣生識,三事和合生觸,又喜觸因緣生樂受。如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法,亦如是說。複次,長者!有異眼界、異色界憂處,二因緣生識,三事和合生苦觸,彼苦觸因緣生苦受。如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法,亦如是說。

「複次,長者!異眼界、異色界舍處,二因緣生識,三事和合生不苦不樂觸,不苦不樂觸因緣生不苦不樂受。如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法,亦如是說。」

爾時,瞿師羅長者聞尊者阿難所說,歡喜隨喜,禮足而去。

(四六一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園。

爾時,瞿師羅長者詣尊者阿難所,稽首禮足,於一面坐。白尊者阿難:「所說種種界。云何為種種界?」

尊者阿難告瞿師羅長者:「有三界。云何三?謂欲界、色界、無色界。」

爾時,尊者阿難即說偈言:

「曉了于欲界,  色界亦復然,  舍一切有餘,  得無餘寂滅。  于身和合界,  永盡無餘證,  三耶三佛說,  無憂離垢句

現代漢語譯本: 當時,瞿師羅長者來到尊者阿難所在的地方,向尊者阿難行禮,退坐在一旁,對尊者阿難說:『您所說的種種界,什麼是種種界呢?』 尊者阿難告訴瞿師羅長者:『眼界不同,所喜愛的對象也不同,兩者因緣和合產生識,三者和合產生觸,又因喜觸的因緣產生樂受。像這樣,耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法也是這樣說的。再者,長者!有不同的眼界,所憂慮的對象也不同,兩者因緣和合產生識,三者和合產生苦觸,那苦觸的因緣產生苦受。像這樣,耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法也是這樣說的。 『再者,長者!不同的眼界,所捨棄的對象也不同,兩者因緣和合產生識,三者和合產生不苦不樂觸,不苦不樂觸的因緣產生不苦不樂受。像這樣,耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法也是這樣說的。』 當時,瞿師羅長者聽了尊者阿難所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (四六一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。 當時,瞿師羅長者來到尊者阿難所在的地方,稽首行禮,坐在一旁。對尊者阿難說:『您所說的種種界,什麼是種種界呢?』 尊者阿難告訴瞿師羅長者:『有三種界。哪三種呢?就是欲界、界、無界。』 當時,尊者阿難就說了偈語: 『明瞭欲界,**界也是這樣,捨棄一切有餘,得到無餘的寂滅。對於身和合的界,永遠斷盡無餘的證悟,三耶三佛所說,是無憂離垢的語句。』

English version: At that time, the elder Kuśila approached the venerable Ānanda, bowed to his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the venerable Ānanda, 'You speak of various realms. What are these various realms?' The venerable Ānanda told the elder Kuśila, 'The eye realm is different, and the objects of liking are different. The two conditions give rise to consciousness, the three things together give rise to contact, and from the condition of pleasant contact arises pleasant feeling. The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, and dharma. Furthermore, elder! There is a different eye realm, and the objects of worry are different. The two conditions give rise to consciousness, the three things together give rise to painful contact, and from the condition of painful contact arises painful feeling. The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, and dharma. 'Furthermore, elder! There is a different eye realm, and the objects of indifference are different. The two conditions give rise to consciousness, the three things together give rise to neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant contact, and from the condition of neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant contact arises neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant feeling. The same is said of the ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, and dharma.' At that time, the elder Kuśila, having heard what the venerable Ānanda said, rejoiced and was pleased, bowed, and departed. (461) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kuśila Garden in the country of Kauśāmbī. At that time, the elder Kuśila approached the venerable Ānanda, bowed his head to his feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the venerable Ānanda, 'You speak of various realms. What are these various realms?' The venerable Ānanda told the elder Kuśila, 'There are three realms. What three? They are the desire realm, the form realm, and the formless realm.' At that time, the venerable Ānanda spoke these verses: 'Having understood the desire realm, the form realm is also the same, abandoning all that remains, one attains the remainderless extinction. Regarding the realm of the body's combination, one completely exhausts the remainderless realization, as spoken by the Samyaksaṃbuddha, these are words free from sorrow and defilement.'

尊者阿難告瞿師羅長者:「有三界,色界、無色界、滅界,是名三界。」即說偈言:

「若色界眾生,  及住無色界,  不識滅界者,  還復受諸有。  若斷於色界,  不住無色界,  滅界心解脫,  永離於生死。」

English version After Venerable Ananda finished speaking this sutra, the elder Ghosila rejoiced and praised it, then bowed and departed.

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Ghosila Garden in the country of Kausambi. At that time, the elder Ghosila went to where Venerable Ananda was, bowed his head in respect, sat down to one side, and asked Venerable Ananda: 'What are the various realms you speak of? What are these various realms?' Venerable Ananda told the elder Ghosila: 'There are three realms: the realm of desire, the realm of non-desire, and the realm of cessation. These are called the three realms.' Then he spoke a verse: 'If beings have desire, and dwell in non-desire, those who do not recognize the realm of cessation, will still undergo various existences. If one cuts off desire, and does not dwell in non-desire, and attains liberation of mind in the realm of cessation, they will forever be free from birth and death.' After Venerable Ananda finished speaking this sutra, the elder Ghosila rejoiced and praised it, then bowed and departed.

They are the departure from the realm of desire to the realm of form, the departure from the realm of form to the formless realm, and the realm of cessation of all actions and all thoughts. These are called the three realms of departure.' Then he spoke a verse: 'Knowing the departure from the realm of desire, surpassing the realm of form, all actions are pacified, diligently practicing the right path. Cutting off all desires, all actions are extinguished, knowing that all is still remaining, one will not revolve in rebirth again.' After Venerable Ananda finished speaking this sutra, the elder Ghosila rejoiced and praised it, then bowed and departed.


(四六四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園。

爾時,尊者阿難往詣上座上座名者所,詣已,恭敬問訊,問訊已,退坐一面,問上座上座名者言:「若比丘于空處、樹下、閑房思惟,當以何法專精思惟?」

上座答言:「尊者阿難!于空處、樹下、閑房思惟者,當以二法專精思惟,所謂止、觀。」

尊者阿難復問上座:「修習于止,多修習已,當何所成,修習于觀,多修習已,當何所成?」

上座答言:「尊者阿難!修習于止,終成於觀,修習觀已,亦成於止。謂聖弟子止、觀俱修,得諸解脫界。」

阿難復問上座:「云何諸解脫界?」

上座答言:「尊者阿難!若斷界、無慾界、滅界,是名諸解脫界。」

尊者阿難復問上座:「云何斷界?乃至滅界?」

上座答言:「尊者阿難!斷一切行,是名斷界;斷除愛慾,是無慾界,一切行滅,是名滅界。」

時,尊者阿難聞上座所說,歡喜隨喜,往詣五百比丘所,恭敬問訊,退坐一面,白五百比丘言:「若比丘于空處、樹下、閑房思惟時,當以何法專精思惟?」

時,五百比丘答尊者阿難:「當以二法專精思惟,乃至滅界,如上座所說

現代漢語譯本: (四六四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。 當時,尊者阿難前往拜訪上座長老,到達后,恭敬地問候,問候完畢,退坐在一旁,問上座長老說:『如果比丘在空曠之處、樹下、安靜的房間里思維,應當用什麼法門專心思維呢?』 上座長老回答說:『尊者阿難!在空曠之處、樹下、安靜的房間里思維的人,應當用兩種法門專心思維,那就是止和觀。』 尊者阿難又問上座長老:『修習止,多次修習后,會成就什麼?修習觀,多次修習后,會成就什麼?』 上座長老回答說:『尊者阿難!修習止,最終會成就觀;修習觀,也會成就止。也就是說,聖弟子止和觀都修習,就能獲得各種解脫境界。』 阿難又問上座長老:『什麼是各種解脫境界呢?』 上座長老回答說:『尊者阿難!斷界、無慾界、滅界,這就是各種解脫境界。』 尊者阿難又問上座長老:『什麼是斷界?乃至什麼是滅界呢?』 上座長老回答說:『尊者阿難!斷除一切行為,這叫做斷界;斷除愛慾,這是無慾界;一切行為都滅盡,這叫做滅界。』 當時,尊者阿難聽了上座長老所說,歡喜讚歎,前往五百比丘所在的地方,恭敬地問候,退坐在一旁,對五百比丘說:『如果比丘在空曠之處、樹下、安靜的房間里思維時,應當用什麼法門專心思維呢?』 當時,五百比丘回答尊者阿難說:『應當用兩種法門專心思維,乃至滅界,就像上座長老所說的那樣。』

English version: (464) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Ghosira Garden in the country of Kausambi. Then, Venerable Ananda went to the elder monk, and after arriving, respectfully greeted him. After the greetings, he sat down to one side and asked the elder monk, 'If a bhikkhu is meditating in an empty place, under a tree, or in a quiet room, what dharma should he focus on?' The elder monk replied, 'Venerable Ananda! One who meditates in an empty place, under a tree, or in a quiet room should focus on two dharmas: tranquility and insight.' Venerable Ananda further asked the elder monk, 'What is achieved by cultivating tranquility, having cultivated it extensively? What is achieved by cultivating insight, having cultivated it extensively?' The elder monk replied, 'Venerable Ananda! Cultivating tranquility ultimately leads to insight, and cultivating insight also leads to tranquility. That is to say, a noble disciple who cultivates both tranquility and insight attains various realms of liberation.' Ananda further asked the elder monk, 'What are these realms of liberation?' The elder monk replied, 'Venerable Ananda! The realm of cessation, the realm of non-desire, and the realm of extinction are the various realms of liberation.' Venerable Ananda further asked the elder monk, 'What is the realm of cessation? And what is the realm of extinction?' The elder monk replied, 'Venerable Ananda! The cessation of all actions is called the realm of cessation; the cessation of desire is the realm of non-desire; and the extinction of all actions is called the realm of extinction.' Then, Venerable Ananda, having heard what the elder monk had said, rejoiced and went to the place where the five hundred bhikkhus were. After respectfully greeting them, he sat down to one side and said to the five hundred bhikkhus, 'If a bhikkhu is meditating in an empty place, under a tree, or in a quiet room, what dharma should he focus on?' Then, the five hundred bhikkhus replied to Venerable Ananda, 'He should focus on two dharmas, up to the realm of extinction, just as the elder monk said.'

時,尊者阿難聞五百比丘所說,歡喜隨喜,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!若比丘空處、樹下、閑房思惟,當以何法專精思惟?」

佛告阿難:「若比丘空處、樹下、閑房思惟,當以二法專精思惟,乃至滅界,如五百比丘所說。」

時,尊者阿難白佛言:「奇哉!世尊!大師及諸弟子皆悉同法、同句、同義、同味,我今詣上座名上座者,問如此義,亦以此義、此句、此味答我,如今世尊所說,我復詣五百比丘所,亦以此義、此句、此味而問,彼五百比丘亦以此義、此句、此味答,如今世尊所說。是故當知,師及弟子一切同法、同義、同句、同味。」

阿難白佛:「不知。世尊!」

(四六五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本 當時,尊者阿難聽到五百位比丘所說,歡喜讚歎,便前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!如果比丘在空曠之處、樹下或安靜的房間里思考,應當用什麼方法專心思考呢?』 佛陀告訴阿難:『如果比丘在空曠之處、樹下或安靜的房間里思考,應當用兩種方法專心思考,直到達到滅盡的境界,就像那五百位比丘所說的那樣。』 當時,尊者阿難對佛陀說:『真是奇妙啊,世尊!大師和弟子們都遵循相同的法、相同的語句、相同的意義、相同的味道。我之前去拜訪一位名叫上座的上座比丘,問他同樣的問題,他也用同樣的意義、同樣的語句、同樣的味道回答我,就像現在世尊所說的一樣。我又去拜訪那五百位比丘,也用同樣的意義、同樣的語句、同樣的味道問他們,那五百位比丘也用同樣的意義、同樣的語句、同樣的味道回答我,就像現在世尊所說的一樣。因此應當知道,師父和弟子們都遵循相同的法、相同的意義、相同的語句、相同的味道。』 佛陀告訴阿難:『你知道那位上座是什麼樣的比丘嗎?』 阿難對佛陀說:『不知道,世尊!』 佛陀告訴阿難:『那位上座是阿羅漢,諸漏已盡,已放下重擔,以正智心善解脫。那五百位比丘也都是如此。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (四六五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

English version At that time, the Venerable Ananda, having heard what the five hundred bhikkhus had said, rejoiced and was pleased. He went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, if a bhikkhu is contemplating in an empty place, under a tree, or in a secluded room, by what method should he contemplate with focused attention?' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'If a bhikkhu is contemplating in an empty place, under a tree, or in a secluded room, he should contemplate with focused attention by two methods, until the cessation of the world, as the five hundred bhikkhus have said.' Then, the Venerable Ananda said to the Buddha, 'It is wonderful, Venerable Sir! The master and all the disciples all follow the same Dharma, the same words, the same meaning, and the same flavor. I previously went to an elder bhikkhu named 'Elder', and asked him about this matter. He also answered me with the same meaning, the same words, and the same flavor, just as the Venerable Sir has said now. I also went to the five hundred bhikkhus and asked them with the same meaning, the same words, and the same flavor. Those five hundred bhikkhus also answered me with the same meaning, the same words, and the same flavor, just as the Venerable Sir has said now. Therefore, it should be known that the master and the disciples all follow the same Dharma, the same meaning, the same words, and the same flavor.' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'Do you know what kind of bhikkhu that Elder is?' Ananda said to the Buddha, 'I do not know, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'That Elder is an Arhat, whose outflows are exhausted, who has laid down the burden, and who is well liberated through right knowledge. Those five hundred bhikkhus are also the same.' Having spoken this discourse, the Venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (465) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.


爾時,尊者羅睺羅詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!云何知、云何見我此識身及外境界一切相,得無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使?」

佛告羅睺羅:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。羅睺羅!若比丘于所有地界,若過去、若未來、若現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在如實知,水界、火界、風界、空界、識界亦復如是。

「羅睺羅!比丘如是知、如是見,於我此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使。羅睺羅!若比丘於此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使,是名斷愛縛諸結、斷諸愛,正慢無間等,究竟苦邊。」

佛告羅睺羅:「有三受——苦受、樂受、不苦不樂受

現代漢語譯本 當時,尊者羅睺羅來到世尊的住所,頂禮佛足后,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!如何才能知道、如何才能看到我這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,從而沒有我、我所見、我慢的執著和束縛呢?』 佛告訴羅睺羅:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。羅睺羅!如果比丘對於所有的地界,無論是過去、未來還是現在,無論是內在還是外在,無論是粗糙還是細微,無論是美好還是醜陋,無論是遙遠還是臨近,都如實地知道它們都不是我,不異於我,也不存在於我之中;水界、火界、風界、空界、識界也是如此。』 『羅睺羅!比丘如果這樣知道、這樣看到,對於我這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,就不會有我、我所見、我慢的執著和束縛。羅睺羅!如果比丘對於這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,沒有我、我所見、我慢的執著和束縛,這就叫做斷除了愛慾的束縛和各種煩惱,斷除了各種愛慾,正確地去除驕慢,最終達到苦的盡頭。』 佛說完這部經后,尊者羅睺羅聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四六六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,尊者羅睺羅來到佛的住所,頂禮佛足后,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!如何才能知道、如何才能看到我這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,從而沒有我、我所見、我慢的執著和束縛呢?』 佛告訴羅睺羅:『有三種感受——苦受、樂受、不苦不樂受。』

English version At that time, the Venerable Rahula went to where the World Honored One was, bowed his head to the ground at the Buddha's feet, retreated to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! How can one know and how can one see this conscious body of mine and all external realms, so that there is no attachment to self, what is seen as self, and the conceit of self?' The Buddha told Rahula: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. Rahula! If a bhikkhu, regarding all earth elements, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether far or near, truly knows that all of them are not self, not different from self, and not existing within self; the water element, fire element, wind element, space element, and consciousness element are also the same.' 'Rahula! If a bhikkhu knows and sees in this way, regarding this conscious body of mine and all external realms, there will be no attachment to self, what is seen as self, and the conceit of self. Rahula! If a bhikkhu, regarding this conscious body and all external realms, has no attachment to self, what is seen as self, and the conceit of self, this is called the breaking of the bonds of desire and all fetters, the cutting off of all desires, the correct removal of pride, and ultimately reaching the end of suffering.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Venerable Rahula, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (466) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the Venerable Rahula went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to the ground at the Buddha's feet, retreated to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! How can one know and how can one see this conscious body of mine and all external realms, so that there is no attachment to self, what is seen as self, and the conceit of self?' The Buddha told Rahula: 'There are three kinds of feelings—painful feeling, pleasant feeling, and neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling.'


。此三受何因、何集、何生、何轉?謂此三受,觸因、觸集、觸生、觸轉;彼彼觸因、彼彼受生,若彼彼觸滅,彼彼受亦滅、止、清涼、沒。如是知、如是見我此識及外境界一切相,得無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使。」

佛說此經已,尊者羅睺羅聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

佛告羅睺羅:「有三受,苦受、樂受、不苦不樂受。觀於樂受而作苦想,觀于苦受作劍刺想,觀不苦不樂受作無常想。若彼比丘觀於樂受而作苦想,觀于苦受作劍刺想,觀不苦不樂受作無常、滅想者,是名正見。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「觀樂作苦想,  苦受同劍刺,  于不苦不樂,  修無常滅想,  是則為比丘。  正見成就者,  寂滅安樂道,  住于最後邊,  永離諸煩惱,  摧伏眾魔軍。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本:這三種感受是因何而起、因何而集、因何而生、因何而轉呢?這三種感受,是因觸而起、因觸而集、因觸而生、因觸而轉;各種各樣的觸是各種各樣的感受產生的原因,如果各種各樣的觸滅盡,各種各樣的感受也會滅盡、止息、清涼、消失。像這樣知道、像這樣看見我這個意識以及外在境界的一切現象,就能做到沒有我、沒有我所見、沒有我慢的執著和束縛。 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者羅睺羅聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (四六七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,尊者羅睺羅前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!如何知道、如何看見我這個意識身以及外在境界的一切現象,才能做到沒有我、沒有我所見、沒有我慢的執著和束縛呢?』 佛陀告訴羅睺羅:『有三種感受,苦受、樂受、不苦不樂受。觀察樂受時要作苦想,觀察苦受時要作如劍刺般的感受,觀察不苦不樂受時要作無常想。如果那位比丘觀察樂受時作苦想,觀察苦受時作如劍刺般的感受,觀察不苦不樂受時作無常、滅盡之想,這就稱為正見。』 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『觀察樂受作苦想,苦受如同劍刺般,對於不苦不樂受,修習無常滅盡想,這就是那位比丘,成就正見的人,安住于寂滅安樂之道,處於最終的境界,永遠脫離各種煩惱,摧毀一切魔軍。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者羅睺羅聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (四六八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

English version: What is the cause, origin, arising, and turning of these three feelings? These three feelings arise from contact, originate from contact, are born from contact, and turn from contact; each contact is the cause of each feeling, and if each contact ceases, each feeling also ceases, stops, cools, and disappears. Knowing and seeing my consciousness and all phenomena of the external world in this way, one can achieve the state of having no self, no self-view, and no attachment to the conceit of 'I'. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Rahula, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (467) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, Venerable Rahula went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, retreated to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, how should one know and see this body of consciousness and all phenomena of the external world, so as to be free from the conceit of 'I', the view of 'mine', and the attachment to the conceit of 'I'?' The Buddha said to Rahula: 'There are three feelings: painful feeling, pleasant feeling, and neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. When observing pleasant feeling, one should contemplate it as suffering; when observing painful feeling, one should contemplate it as being like a sword piercing; when observing neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, one should contemplate it as impermanent. If that bhikkhu, when observing pleasant feeling, contemplates it as suffering; when observing painful feeling, contemplates it as being like a sword piercing; and when observing neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, contemplates it as impermanent and ceasing, this is called right view.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 'Contemplate pleasant feeling as suffering, painful feeling as a sword piercing, for neither-painful-nor-pleasant, cultivate the thought of impermanence and cessation, this is the bhikkhu, who has achieved right view, dwells on the path of peaceful liberation, at the final end, forever free from all afflictions, and destroys all the armies of Mara.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Rahula, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (468) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.


爾時,尊者羅睺羅往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!云何知、云何見我此識身及外境界一切相,得無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使?」

佛告羅睺羅:「有三受——苦受、樂受、不苦不樂受。觀於樂受,為斷樂受貪使故,於我所修梵行;斷苦受瞋恚使故,於我所修梵行;斷不苦不樂受癡使故,於我所修梵行。

「羅睺羅!若比丘樂受貪使已斷、已知,苦受恚使已斷、已知,不苦不樂受癡使已斷、已知者,是名比丘斷除愛慾縛、去諸結,慢無間等,究竟苦邊。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「樂受所受時,  則不知樂受,  貪使之所使,  不見出要道。  苦受所受時,  則不知苦受,  瞋恚使所使,  不見出要道。  不苦不樂受,  正覺之所說,  不善觀察者,  終不度彼岸。  比丘勤精進,  正知不動轉,  如此一切受,  慧者能覺知。  覺知諸受者,  現法盡諸漏,  明智者命終,  不墮于眾數。  眾數既已斷,  永處般涅槃。」

佛說此經已,尊者羅睺羅聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四六九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本: 當時,尊者羅睺羅前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!如何知曉、如何觀察我這由識構成的身體以及外在的一切境界,才能達到無我、無我所見、無我慢執著的境界呢?』 佛陀告訴羅睺羅:『有三種感受——苦受、樂受、不苦不樂受。觀察樂受,是爲了斷除對樂受的貪慾,所以我才修行梵行;斷除對苦受的嗔恚,所以我才修行梵行;斷除對不苦不樂受的愚癡,所以我才修行梵行。』 『羅睺羅!如果比丘對樂受的貪慾已經斷除、已經知曉,對苦受的嗔恚已經斷除、已經知曉,對不苦不樂受的愚癡已經斷除、已經知曉,那麼這位比丘就斷除了愛慾的束縛,去除了一切煩惱,慢心也消除了,最終到達了苦的盡頭。』 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『當感受樂受時,卻不知樂受的真相,被貪慾所驅使,看不到解脫之道。 當感受苦受時,卻不知苦受的真相,被嗔恚所驅使,看不到解脫之道。 不苦不樂的感受,是正覺者所說的,不善於觀察的人,終究無法度過彼岸。 比丘應當勤奮精進,以正知保持不動搖,如此一來,一切感受,有智慧的人都能覺知。 覺知一切感受的人,在當下就能斷盡一切煩惱,明智的人在生命終結時,不會墮入輪迴之中。 輪迴的束縛既然已經斷除,就永遠處於涅槃的境界。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者羅睺羅聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四六九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

English version: At that time, the Venerable Rahula went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, how should one know and how should one see this body of consciousness and all external realms, so as to be free from the view of self, what belongs to self, and the attachment of conceit?' The Buddha said to Rahula, 'There are three kinds of feeling—pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. Observing pleasant feeling, it is for the sake of abandoning the underlying tendency of greed for pleasant feeling that I practice the holy life; for abandoning the underlying tendency of aversion for painful feeling that I practice the holy life; for abandoning the underlying tendency of ignorance for neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling that I practice the holy life.' 'Rahula, if a bhikkhu has abandoned and known the underlying tendency of greed for pleasant feeling, has abandoned and known the underlying tendency of aversion for painful feeling, and has abandoned and known the underlying tendency of ignorance for neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling, then that bhikkhu has broken the bonds of craving, has removed all fetters, has eliminated conceit, and has reached the end of suffering.' Then, the Blessed One spoke these verses: 'When experiencing pleasant feeling, one does not know pleasant feeling, driven by the underlying tendency of greed, one does not see the way to escape. When experiencing painful feeling, one does not know painful feeling, driven by the underlying tendency of aversion, one does not see the way to escape. Neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling, as proclaimed by the Fully Awakened One, those who do not observe well, will never cross to the other shore. A bhikkhu should strive diligently, with right knowledge, remaining unshaken, thus, all feelings, the wise can perceive. Those who perceive all feelings, in this very life, exhaust all defilements, the wise, at the end of life, do not fall into the cycle of rebirth. Since the cycle of rebirth is broken, they dwell forever in Nirvana.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the Venerable Rahula, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (469) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove at Kalandaka, near Rajagaha.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「大海深險者,此世間愚夫所說深險,非賢聖法、律所說深險。世間所說者,是大水積聚數耳,若從身生諸受,眾苦逼迫,或惱、或死,是名大海極深險處。愚癡無聞凡夫於此身生諸受,苦痛逼迫,或惱、或死,憂悲稱怨,啼哭號呼,心亂發狂,長淪沒溺,無止息處。多聞聖弟子于身生諸受,苦痛逼迫,或惱、或死,不生憂悲、啼哭號呼、心生狂亂,不淪生死,得止息處。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「身生諸苦受,  逼迫乃至死,  憂悲不息忍,  號呼發狂亂,  心自生障礙,  招集眾苦增,  永淪生死海,  莫知休息處。  能捨身諸受,  身所生苦惱,  切迫乃至死,  不起憂悲想。  不啼哭號呼,  能自忍眾苦,  心不生障礙,  招集眾苦增。  不淪沒生死,  永得安隱處。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四七〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「愚癡無聞凡夫生苦樂受、不苦不樂受,多聞聖弟子亦生苦樂受、不苦不樂受。諸比丘!凡夫、聖人有何差別?」

諸比丘白佛:「世尊是法根、法眼、法依

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『所謂大海深險,是世間愚人所說的深險,並非賢聖的佛法和戒律所說的深險。世間人所說的大海,不過是大量水的積聚罷了。如果從自身產生的各種感受,被痛苦逼迫,或者煩惱,或者死亡,這才是真正的大海極深險之處。愚癡無知的凡夫,對於自身產生的各種感受,被痛苦逼迫,或者煩惱,或者死亡,就會憂愁悲傷,怨天尤人,啼哭號叫,心煩意亂,發狂,長久地沉淪溺水,沒有止息的地方。而博學多聞的聖弟子,對於自身產生的各種感受,被痛苦逼迫,或者煩惱,或者死亡,不會產生憂愁悲傷,不會啼哭號叫,不會心煩意亂,不會沉淪生死,能夠得到止息的地方。』 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『身體產生各種痛苦的感受,逼迫乃至死亡,憂愁悲傷不能停止忍受,號哭發狂,心生障礙,招來更多痛苦,永遠沉淪在生死苦海,不知道休息的地方。 能夠捨棄身體的各種感受,身體所產生的痛苦煩惱,逼迫乃至死亡,不產生憂愁悲傷的想法,不啼哭號叫,能夠自己忍受各種痛苦,心中不產生障礙,不招來更多痛苦,不沉淪在生死苦海,永遠得到安穩的地方。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (四七〇) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『愚癡無知的凡夫會產生苦、樂、不苦不樂的感受,博學多聞的聖弟子也會產生苦、樂、不苦不樂的感受。各位比丘!凡夫和聖人有什麼差別呢?』 眾比丘對佛說:『世尊是佛法的根本、佛法的眼睛、佛法的依靠。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'The deep and dangerous ocean, as spoken of by foolish people in this world, is not the deep and dangerous as spoken of in the Dharma and Vinaya of the noble ones. What the world speaks of is merely a large accumulation of water. If various feelings arise from the body, oppressed by suffering, or vexation, or death, this is what is called the extremely deep and dangerous place of the great ocean. Foolish, ignorant ordinary people, when these feelings arise from the body, oppressed by suffering, or vexation, or death, will feel sorrow and grief, complain and blame, weep and wail, become mentally disturbed and go mad, and sink and drown for a long time, with no place of rest. But the learned and noble disciples, when these feelings arise from the body, oppressed by suffering, or vexation, or death, will not feel sorrow and grief, will not weep and wail, will not become mentally disturbed, will not sink into birth and death, and will find a place of rest.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 'When various painful feelings arise in the body, oppressed even to death, sorrow and grief cannot be stopped and endured, wailing and going mad, the mind creates obstacles, attracting more suffering, forever sinking in the sea of birth and death, not knowing where to rest. Being able to let go of the various feelings of the body, the suffering and vexation arising from the body, oppressed even to death, not giving rise to thoughts of sorrow and grief, not weeping and wailing, being able to endure all suffering, the mind does not create obstacles, does not attract more suffering, does not sink into the sea of birth and death, and forever finds a place of peace.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (470) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Foolish, ignorant ordinary people experience feelings of pleasure, pain, and neither pleasure nor pain, and learned noble disciples also experience feelings of pleasure, pain, and neither pleasure nor pain. Bhikkhus! What is the difference between ordinary people and noble ones?' The bhikkhus said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, and the reliance of the Dharma.'


。善哉!世尊!唯愿廣說,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告諸比丘:「愚癡無聞凡夫身觸生諸受,苦痛逼迫,乃至奪命,憂愁啼哭,稱怨號呼。」

佛告諸比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。諸比丘!愚癡無聞凡夫身觸生諸受,增諸苦痛,乃至奪命,愁憂稱怨,啼哭號呼,心生狂亂,當於爾時,增長二受,若身受、若心受。

「譬如士夫身被雙毒箭,極生苦痛,愚癡無聞凡夫亦復如是。增長二受,身受、心受,極生苦痛。所以者何?以彼愚癡無聞凡夫不了知故,于諸五欲生樂受觸,受五欲樂,受五欲樂故,為貪使所使;苦受觸故,則生瞋恚,生瞋恚故,為恚使所使。於此二受,若集、若滅、若味、若患、若離不如實知;不如實知故,生不苦不樂受,為癡使所使。為樂受所繫終不離,苦受所繫終不離,不苦不樂受所繫終不離。云何系?謂為貪、恚、癡所繫,為生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦所繫。

「多聞聖弟子身觸生苦受,大苦逼迫,乃至奪命,不起憂悲稱怨、啼哭號呼、心亂發狂,當於爾時,唯生一受,所謂身受,不生心受。

「譬如士夫被一毒箭,不被第二毒箭,當於爾時,唯生一受,所謂身受,不生心受。為樂受觸,不染欲樂,不染欲樂故,于彼樂受,貪使不使

『太好了,世尊!我們懇請您詳細解說,眾比丘聽聞后,定會遵奉實行。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『愚昧無知的凡夫,身體接觸到事物產生感受,當痛苦逼迫,甚至危及生命時,會憂愁哭泣,抱怨呼號。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。諸位比丘!愚昧無知的凡夫,身體接觸到事物產生感受,會加劇痛苦,甚至危及生命,憂愁抱怨,哭泣呼號,心生狂亂。那時,他們會增加兩種感受,即身體的感受和內心的感受。』 『譬如一個人身中兩支毒箭,極其痛苦。愚昧無知的凡夫也是如此,增加兩種感受,身體的感受和內心的感受,極其痛苦。這是為什麼呢?因為這些愚昧無知的凡夫不瞭解實情,對於五欲產生快樂的感受,享受五欲之樂,因為享受五欲之樂,被貪慾所驅使;因為接觸到痛苦的感受,就產生嗔恨,因為產生嗔恨,被嗔恨所驅使。對於這兩種感受,無論是它們的產生、滅亡、滋味、過患還是解脫,都不能如實地瞭解;因為不能如實地瞭解,就產生不苦不樂的感受,被愚癡所驅使。他們被快樂的感受所束縛,終究不能解脫;被痛苦的感受所束縛,終究不能解脫;被不苦不樂的感受所束縛,終究不能解脫。如何被束縛呢?就是被貪、嗔、癡所束縛,被生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦所束縛。』 『多聞的聖弟子,身體接觸到痛苦的感受,即使被巨大的痛苦逼迫,甚至危及生命,也不會產生憂愁、悲傷、抱怨、哭泣、呼號、心亂發狂。那時,他們只會產生一種感受,即身體的感受,不會產生內心的感受。』 『譬如一個人只被一支毒箭射中,沒有被第二支毒箭射中,那時,他只會產生一種感受,即身體的感受,不會產生內心的感受。當接觸到快樂的感受時,不會被慾望所染著,因為不被慾望所染著,對於快樂的感受,貪慾不會驅使他們。

'Excellent, Lord! We beseech you to explain this in detail, so that the bhikkhus, having heard it, may practice accordingly.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'When an ignorant, uninstructed ordinary person experiences bodily sensations, they are overwhelmed by pain, even to the point of death, and they grieve, weep, lament, and wail.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'Listen carefully, reflect well, and I will explain it to you. Bhikkhus! When an ignorant, uninstructed ordinary person experiences bodily sensations, they increase their suffering, even to the point of death, they grieve, lament, weep, wail, and become mentally distraught. At that time, they increase two kinds of feelings: bodily feelings and mental feelings.' 'It is like a person struck by two poisoned arrows, experiencing extreme pain. An ignorant, uninstructed ordinary person is also like this, increasing two kinds of feelings, bodily feelings and mental feelings, experiencing extreme pain. Why is this so? Because these ignorant, uninstructed ordinary people do not understand the truth. They experience pleasure from the five senses, enjoy the pleasures of the five senses, and because they enjoy the pleasures of the five senses, they are driven by craving. Because they experience painful feelings, they generate anger, and because they generate anger, they are driven by hatred. Regarding these two kinds of feelings, they do not truly understand their arising, cessation, gratification, danger, or escape. Because they do not truly understand, they generate neutral feelings, and are driven by delusion. They are bound by pleasant feelings and cannot escape, bound by painful feelings and cannot escape, bound by neutral feelings and cannot escape. How are they bound? They are bound by craving, hatred, and delusion, bound by birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering.' 'A well-instructed noble disciple, when experiencing painful bodily sensations, even when overwhelmed by great pain, even to the point of death, does not grieve, lament, complain, weep, wail, or become mentally distraught. At that time, they only experience one kind of feeling, namely bodily feeling, and do not experience mental feeling.' 'It is like a person struck by one poisoned arrow, but not by a second poisoned arrow. At that time, they only experience one kind of feeling, namely bodily feeling, and do not experience mental feeling. When experiencing pleasant feelings, they are not attached to sensual pleasures. Because they are not attached to sensual pleasures, craving does not drive them regarding pleasant feelings.'


。于苦觸受不生瞋恚,不生瞋恚故,恚使不使。于彼二使,集、滅、味、患、離如實知,如實知故,不苦不樂受癡使不使,于彼樂受解脫不繫,苦受、不苦不樂受解脫不繫。於何不繫?謂貪、恚、癡不繫,生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦不繫。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「多聞于苦樂,  非不受覺知,  彼于凡夫人,  其實大有聞。  樂受不放逸,  苦觸不增憂,  苦樂二俱舍,  不順亦不違。  比丘勤方便,  正智不傾動,  於此一切受,  黠慧能了知。  了知諸受故,  現法盡諸漏,  身死不墮數,  永處般涅槃。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四七一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如空中狂風卒起,從四方來,有塵土風、無塵土風、毗濕波風、鞞嵐婆風、薄風、厚風,乃至風輪起風。身中受風亦復如是,種種受起——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,樂身受、苦身受、不苦不樂身受,樂心受、苦心受、不苦不樂心受,樂食受、苦食受、不苦不樂食受,樂無食、苦無食、不苦不樂無食受,樂貪受、苦貪受、不苦不樂貪受,樂出要受、苦出要受、不樂不苦出要受

現代漢語譯本:對於痛苦的感受,不產生嗔恨;因為不產生嗔恨,所以嗔恨的煩惱習氣就不會再起作用。對於這兩種煩惱習氣,如實地知曉它們的生起、滅去、帶來的愉悅、造成的禍患以及從中解脫的方法。因為如實地知曉,所以對於不苦不樂的感受,癡的煩惱習氣也不會再起作用。對於快樂的感受,解脫而不被它束縛;對於痛苦的感受和不苦不樂的感受,也解脫而不被它們束縛。不被什麼束縛呢?就是不被貪、嗔、癡束縛,不被生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦束縛。 那時,世尊就說了偈語: 『多聞的人對於苦樂,並非沒有感受和知覺,他們與凡夫俗子相比,確實有更廣博的見聞。對於快樂的感受不放縱,對於痛苦的觸碰不增加憂愁,對於苦樂兩種感受都捨棄,不順從也不違逆。比丘勤奮修行,以正智而不動搖,對於這一切感受,都能以智慧明瞭知曉。因為明瞭知曉諸種感受,在當下就能斷盡一切煩惱,身死之後不再墮入輪迴,永遠處於涅槃的境界。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (四七一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如空中突然颳起狂風,從四面八方而來,有塵土風、無塵土風、毗濕波風、鞞嵐婆風、薄風、厚風,乃至風輪捲起的風。身體中的感受也像這樣,種種感受生起——快樂的感受、痛苦的感受、不苦不樂的感受,身體上的快樂感受、身體上的痛苦感受、身體上的不苦不樂感受,心理上的快樂感受、心理上的痛苦感受、心理上的不苦不樂感受,飲食帶來的快樂感受、飲食帶來的痛苦感受、飲食帶來的不苦不樂感受,沒有飲食帶來的快樂感受、沒有飲食帶來的痛苦感受、沒有飲食帶來的不苦不樂感受,貪慾帶來的快樂感受、貪慾帶來的痛苦感受、貪慾帶來的不苦不樂感受,出離帶來的快樂感受、出離帶來的痛苦感受、出離帶來的不苦不樂感受。』

English version: Regarding painful feelings, one does not generate anger; because one does not generate anger, the latent tendency of anger does not become active. Regarding these two latent tendencies, one truly knows their arising, ceasing, the pleasure they bring, the harm they cause, and the way to be liberated from them. Because one truly knows, the latent tendency of ignorance does not become active regarding neither-pleasant-nor-painful feelings. Regarding pleasant feelings, one is liberated and not bound by them; regarding painful feelings and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feelings, one is also liberated and not bound by them. Not bound by what? That is, not bound by greed, anger, and ignorance, not bound by birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. At that time, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 'The learned, regarding pleasure and pain, are not without feeling and awareness; they truly have greater knowledge than ordinary people. They do not indulge in pleasant feelings, nor do they increase sorrow when touched by pain; they abandon both pleasure and pain, neither complying nor opposing them. The bhikkhu practices diligently, with right wisdom that is not shaken; regarding all these feelings, they can understand with wisdom. Because they understand all feelings, they exhaust all defilements in this very life; after death, they do not fall into the cycle of rebirth, and they eternally abide in Nirvana.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced accordingly. (471) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'It is like a sudden gust of wind in the sky, coming from all four directions, with dusty winds, dustless winds, Visvapa winds, Velamba winds, thin winds, thick winds, and even winds stirred up by a whirlwind. The feelings in the body are also like this, various feelings arise—pleasant feelings, painful feelings, neither-pleasant-nor-painful feelings, pleasant bodily feelings, painful bodily feelings, neither-pleasant-nor-painful bodily feelings, pleasant mental feelings, painful mental feelings, neither-pleasant-nor-painful mental feelings, pleasant feelings from food, painful feelings from food, neither-pleasant-nor-painful feelings from food, pleasant feelings without food, painful feelings without food, neither-pleasant-nor-painful feelings without food, pleasant feelings from greed, painful feelings from greed, neither-pleasant-nor-painful feelings from greed, pleasant feelings from renunciation, painful feelings from renunciation, neither-pleasant-nor-painful feelings from renunciation.'


。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「譬如虛空中,  種種狂風起,  東西南北風,  四維亦如是。  有塵及無塵,  乃至風輪起,  如是此身中,  諸受起亦然。  若樂若苦受,  及不苦不樂,  有食與無食,  貪著不貪著。  比丘勤方便,  正智不傾動,  於此一切受,  黠慧能了知。  了知諸受故,  現法盡諸漏,  身死不墮數,  永處般涅槃。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四七二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如客舍種種人住,若剎利、婆羅門、長者居士、野人獵師、持戒犯戒、在家出家,悉于中住。此身亦復如是,種種受生——苦受、樂受、不苦不樂受,樂身受、苦身受、不苦不樂身受,樂心受、苦心受、不苦不樂心受,樂食受、苦食受、不苦不樂食受,樂無食受、苦無食受、不苦不樂無食受,樂貪著受、苦貪著受、不苦不樂貪著受,樂出要受、苦出要受、不苦不樂出要受

現代漢語譯本 那時,世尊即說偈語道: 『譬如在虛空中,會生起各種各樣的狂風, 有來自東西南北的風,四方角落的風也是如此。 有塵土的風和沒有塵土的風,乃至風輪的興起, 就像這樣,在這個身體中,各種感受的生起也是如此。 無論是快樂的感受,還是痛苦的感受,以及不苦不樂的感受, 有食物的感受和沒有食物的感受,貪著的感受和不貪著的感受。 比丘應當勤奮修行,以正智保持不動搖, 對於這一切感受,都能以智慧明瞭知曉。 因為明瞭知曉各種感受,在現世就能斷盡一切煩惱, 身死之後不再輪迴,永遠處於涅槃的境界。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(四七二)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如客棧里住著各種各樣的人,有剎帝利、婆羅門、長者居士、野人獵戶、持戒的、犯戒的、在家的、出家的,都住在其中。這個身體也是如此,會產生各種各樣的感受——苦的感受、樂的感受、不苦不樂的感受,身體上的樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,心理上的樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,食物帶來的樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,沒有食物帶來的樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,貪著帶來的樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,以及出離帶來的樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受。

English version At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'Just as in the empty sky, various kinds of wild winds arise, Winds from the east, west, south, and north, and the four intermediate directions are also like this. There are winds with dust and winds without dust, even the rising of wind wheels, Just like this, in this body, the arising of various feelings is also like this. Whether it is a pleasant feeling, or a painful feeling, and a feeling that is neither painful nor pleasant, Feelings with food and feelings without food, feelings of attachment and feelings of non-attachment. A bhikkhu should practice diligently, maintaining unwavering right wisdom, Regarding all these feelings, one should be able to understand them with wisdom. Because of understanding all feelings, one can exhaust all defilements in this very life, After death, one will not fall into rebirth, and will forever be in the state of Nirvana.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(472)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.

At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Just as in a guesthouse various kinds of people stay, whether they are kshatriyas, brahmins, elders, householders, wild hunters, those who uphold precepts, those who break precepts, those who are householders, and those who are renunciates, all stay within it. This body is also like this, various kinds of feelings arise—painful feelings, pleasant feelings, feelings that are neither painful nor pleasant, pleasant bodily feelings, painful bodily feelings, bodily feelings that are neither painful nor pleasant, pleasant mental feelings, painful mental feelings, mental feelings that are neither painful nor pleasant, pleasant feelings with food, painful feelings with food, feelings with food that are neither painful nor pleasant, pleasant feelings without food, painful feelings without food, feelings without food that are neither painful nor pleasant, pleasant feelings of attachment, painful feelings of attachment, feelings of attachment that are neither painful nor pleasant, and pleasant feelings of detachment, painful feelings of detachment, feelings of detachment that are neither painful nor pleasant.'


。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「譬如客舍中,  種種人住止,  剎利婆羅門,  長者居士等,  旃陀羅野人,  持戒犯戒者,  在家出家人,  如是等種種,  此身亦如是。  種種諸受生,  若樂若苦受,  及不苦不樂,  有食與無食,  貪著不貪著,  比丘勤方便,  正智不傾動,  於此一切受,  黠慧能了知,  了知諸受故,  現法盡諸漏,  身死不墮數,  永處般涅槃。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四七三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有異比丘獨一靜處禪思,念言:「世尊說三受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,又說諸所有受悉皆是苦,此有何義?」是比丘作是念已,從禪起,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我于靜處禪思,念言:『世尊說三受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,又說諸所有受悉皆是苦,此有何義?』」

佛告比丘:「我以一切行無常故,一切諸行變易法故,說諸所有受悉皆是苦。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「知諸行無常,  皆是變易法,  故說受悉苦,  正覺之所知

現代漢語譯本 那時,世尊即說偈語: 『譬如客棧之中,各種各樣的人在此停留, 有剎帝利、婆羅門,長者、居士等, 有旃陀羅、野人,持戒的、犯戒的, 有在家的、出家的,像這樣形形色色的人, 這個身體也像這樣,產生各種各樣的感受, 有快樂的感受,有痛苦的感受,以及不苦不樂的感受, 有食物的,沒有食物的,貪著的,不貪著的, 比丘應當勤奮修行,以正智而不動搖, 對於這一切感受,以智慧能夠明瞭知曉, 因為明瞭知曉各種感受的緣故,在現世就能斷盡一切煩惱, 身死之後不再墮入輪迴,永遠處於涅槃的境界。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (四七三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位比丘獨自在安靜的地方禪思,心中想道:『世尊說有三種感受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,又說一切感受都是苦,這其中有什麼含義呢?』這位比丘這樣想過後,就從禪定中起身,前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我在安靜的地方禪思,心中想道:『世尊說有三種感受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,又說一切感受都是苦,這其中有什麼含義呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『我因為一切行為都是無常的,一切行為都是變易的,所以說一切感受都是苦。』 那時,世尊即說偈語: 『知道一切行為都是無常的,都是變易的, 所以說一切感受都是苦,這是正覺者所知曉的。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'Just like in a guest house, various people stay, Kshatriyas, Brahmins, elders, householders, and others, Chandala, wild people, those who uphold precepts, those who break them, Those who are at home, those who have left home, like this, various kinds of people, This body is also like this, giving rise to various kinds of feelings, There are pleasant feelings, painful feelings, and neither pleasant nor painful feelings, Those with food, those without food, those who are attached, those who are not attached, A bhikkhu should diligently practice, with right wisdom and without wavering, Regarding all these feelings, with wisdom, one can clearly understand, Because of clearly understanding all feelings, in this very life, one can exhaust all defilements, After death, one will not fall into the cycle of rebirth, and will forever abide in Nirvana.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (473) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu who, alone in a quiet place, was meditating, thinking: 'The World Honored One speaks of three kinds of feelings—pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither pleasant nor painful feeling, and also says that all feelings are suffering. What is the meaning of this?' Having thought this, the bhikkhu arose from meditation, went to where the Buddha was, bowed at his feet, and stood to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I was meditating in a quiet place, thinking: 'The World Honored One speaks of three kinds of feelings—pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither pleasant nor painful feeling, and also says that all feelings are suffering. What is the meaning of this?'' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu: 'Because all actions are impermanent, and all actions are subject to change, I say that all feelings are suffering.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'Knowing that all actions are impermanent, and all are subject to change, Therefore, it is said that all feelings are suffering, this is what the Perfectly Awakened One knows.'


。  比丘勤方便,  正智不傾動,  于諸一切受,  黠慧能了知。  悉知諸受已,  現法盡諸漏,  身死不墮數,  永處般涅槃。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四七四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,尊者阿難獨一靜處禪思,念言:「世尊說三受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,又復說諸所有受悉皆是苦,此有何義?」作是念已,從禪起,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我獨一靜處禪思,念言:『如世尊說三受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,又說一切諸受悉皆是苦,此有何義?』」

佛告阿難:「我以一切行無常故,一切行變易法故,說諸所有受悉皆是苦。又復,阿難!我以諸行漸次寂滅故說,以諸行漸次止息故說,一切諸受悉皆是苦

現代漢語譯本 比丘精勤修行,以正智保持不動搖,對於一切感受,都能以智慧明瞭知曉。 完全瞭解所有感受后,在今生就斷盡所有煩惱,身死之後不再輪迴,永遠處於涅槃的境界。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (四七四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,尊者阿難獨自一人在安靜的地方禪思,心中想:『世尊說有三種感受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,又說所有感受都是苦,這其中有什麼含義呢?』這樣想著,他從禪定中起身,來到世尊所在的地方,頂禮佛足后,退到一旁站立,對佛陀說:『世尊!我獨自一人在安靜的地方禪思,心中想:『世尊說有三種感受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,又說一切感受都是苦,這其中有什麼含義呢?』 佛陀告訴阿難:『我因為一切行都是無常的,一切行都是變易的,所以說所有感受都是苦。』又說,『阿難!我因為諸行是逐漸寂滅的,諸行是逐漸止息的,所以說一切感受都是苦。』

English version A bhikkhu, diligent in practice, with right wisdom unwavering, regarding all feelings, is able to understand with discernment. Having fully understood all feelings, in this very life he exhausts all defilements, and upon death, he does not fall into rebirth, but dwells forever in Nirvana. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (474) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, the venerable Ananda, alone in a quiet place, was meditating, thinking: 'The Blessed One speaks of three kinds of feeling—pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling, and also says that all feelings are suffering. What is the meaning of this?' Having thought this, he arose from meditation, went to where the Blessed One was, bowed down at his feet, and stood to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, I was alone in a quiet place meditating, thinking: 'The Blessed One speaks of three kinds of feeling—pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling, and also says that all feelings are suffering. What is the meaning of this?'' The Buddha said to Ananda: 'I say that all feelings are suffering because all formations are impermanent, and all formations are subject to change. Furthermore, Ananda, I say that all feelings are suffering because formations gradually cease, and formations gradually come to an end.'


。」

阿難白佛言:「云何?世尊!以諸受漸次寂滅故說?」

佛告阿難:「初禪正受時,言語寂滅,第二禪正受時,覺觀寂滅,第三禪正受時,喜心寂滅,第四禪正受時,出入息寂滅;空入處正受時,色想寂滅,識入處正受時,空入處想寂滅,無所有入處正受時,識入處想寂滅,非想非非想入處正受時,無所有入處想寂滅,想受滅正受時,想受寂滅,是名漸次諸行寂滅。」

阿難白佛言:「世尊!云何漸次諸行止息?」

佛告阿難:「初禪正受時,言語止息,二禪正受時,覺觀止息,三禪正受時,喜心止息,四禪正受時,出入息止息;空入處正受時,色想止息,識入處正受時,空入處想止息,無所有入處正受時,識入處想止息,非想非非想入處正受時,無所有入處想止息,想受滅正受時,想受止息,是名漸次諸行止息。」

阿難白佛:「世尊!是名漸次諸行止息。」

佛告阿難:「復有勝止息、奇特止息、上止息、無上止息。如是止息,于余止息無過上者

現代漢語譯本 阿難對佛說:『世尊,這是為什麼呢?是因為各種感受逐漸寂滅的緣故這樣說嗎?』 佛告訴阿難:『進入初禪正定時,言語寂滅;進入二禪正定時,覺觀寂滅;進入三禪正定時,喜悅的心寂滅;進入四禪正定時,呼吸寂滅;進入空無邊處正定時,對色法的感知寂滅;進入識無邊處正定時,對空無邊處的感知寂滅;進入無所有處正定時,對識無邊處的感知寂滅;進入非想非非想處正定時,對無所有處的感知寂滅;進入想受滅正定時,想和受都寂滅,這叫做各種行法的逐漸寂滅。』 阿難對佛說:『世尊,什麼是各種行法的逐漸止息呢?』 佛告訴阿難:『進入初禪正定時,言語止息;進入二禪正定時,覺觀止息;進入三禪正定時,喜悅的心止息;進入四禪正定時,呼吸止息;進入空無邊處正定時,對色法的感知止息;進入識無邊處正定時,對空無邊處的感知止息;進入無所有處正定時,對識無邊處的感知止息;進入非想非非想處正定時,對無所有處的感知止息;進入想受滅正定時,想和受都止息,這叫做各種行法的逐漸止息。』 阿難對佛說:『世尊,這叫做各種行法的逐漸止息。』 佛告訴阿難:『還有更殊勝的止息、奇特的止息、更高的止息、無上的止息。這樣的止息,在其他止息中沒有能超過它的。』

English version Ananda said to the Buddha, 'Why is this, World Honored One? Is it because all feelings gradually cease that you say this?' The Buddha told Ananda, 'When one enters the first dhyana, speech ceases; when one enters the second dhyana, initial and sustained thought cease; when one enters the third dhyana, joy ceases; when one enters the fourth dhyana, in-and-out breathing ceases; when one enters the sphere of infinite space, the perception of form ceases; when one enters the sphere of infinite consciousness, the perception of the sphere of infinite space ceases; when one enters the sphere of nothingness, the perception of the sphere of infinite consciousness ceases; when one enters the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, the perception of the sphere of nothingness ceases; when one enters the cessation of perception and feeling, perception and feeling cease. This is called the gradual cessation of all formations.' Ananda said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, what is the gradual stopping of all formations?' The Buddha told Ananda, 'When one enters the first dhyana, speech stops; when one enters the second dhyana, initial and sustained thought stop; when one enters the third dhyana, joy stops; when one enters the fourth dhyana, in-and-out breathing stops; when one enters the sphere of infinite space, the perception of form stops; when one enters the sphere of infinite consciousness, the perception of the sphere of infinite space stops; when one enters the sphere of nothingness, the perception of the sphere of infinite consciousness stops; when one enters the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, the perception of the sphere of nothingness stops; when one enters the cessation of perception and feeling, perception and feeling stop. This is called the gradual stopping of all formations.' Ananda said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, this is called the gradual stopping of all formations.' The Buddha told Ananda, 'There are also superior cessations, extraordinary cessations, higher cessations, and unsurpassed cessations. Such cessations are unsurpassed by any other cessations.'


。」

阿難白佛:「何等為勝止息、奇特止息、上止息、無上止息,諸餘止息無過上者?」

佛告阿難:「于貪慾心不樂、解脫,恚、癡心不樂、解脫,是名勝止息、奇特止息、上止息、無上止息,諸餘止息無過上者。」

佛說此經已,尊者阿難聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四七五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「毗婆尸如來未成佛時,獨一靜處,禪思思惟,作如是觀,觀察諸受。云何為受?云何受集?云何受滅?云何受集道跡?云何受滅道跡?云何受味?云何受患?云何受離?如是觀察,有三受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受。觸集是受集,觸滅是受滅。若於受愛樂、讚歎、染著、堅住,是名受集道跡。若於受不愛樂、讚歎、染著、堅住,是名受滅道跡。若受因緣生樂喜,是名受味,若受無常變易法,是名受患。若於受斷欲貪、越欲貪,是名受離。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如毗婆尸佛,如是式棄佛、毗濕波浮佛、迦羅迦孫提佛、迦那迦牟尼佛、迦葉佛,及我釋迦文佛,未成佛時思惟觀察諸受,亦復如是。

(四七六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本 阿難問佛:『什麼樣的止息是殊勝的止息、奇特的止息、至上的止息、無上的止息,沒有任何其他的止息能超越它?』 佛告訴阿難:『對於貪慾之心不喜好、解脫,對於嗔恚、愚癡之心不喜好、解脫,這被稱為殊勝的止息、奇特的止息、至上的止息、無上的止息,沒有任何其他的止息能超越它。』 佛說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽聞佛所說,歡喜地奉行。

(四七五) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『毗婆尸如來在未成佛時,獨自一人在安靜的地方,禪思冥想,這樣觀察,觀察各種感受。什麼是感受?感受是如何產生的?感受是如何滅去的?感受的產生之道是什麼?感受的滅去之道是什麼?感受的滋味是什麼?感受的過患是什麼?感受的解脫是什麼?』這樣觀察,有三種感受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受。觸的產生是感受的產生,觸的滅去是感受的滅去。如果對感受喜愛、讚歎、執著、堅守,這稱為感受的產生之道。如果對感受不喜愛、不讚嘆、不執著、不堅守,這稱為感受的滅去之道。如果感受因緣而生起快樂喜悅,這稱為感受的滋味;如果感受是無常變易的,這稱為感受的過患。如果對感受斷除貪慾、超越貪慾,這稱為感受的解脫。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 如同毗婆尸佛一樣,式棄佛、毗濕波浮佛、迦羅迦孫提佛、迦那迦牟尼佛、迦葉佛,以及我釋迦文佛,在未成佛時,思惟觀察各種感受,也是這樣的。

(四七六) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

English version Ananda asked the Buddha: 'What kind of cessation is the superior cessation, the extraordinary cessation, the supreme cessation, the unsurpassed cessation, beyond which there is no other cessation?' The Buddha told Ananda: 'To not delight in and be liberated from the mind of greed, to not delight in and be liberated from the mind of hatred and delusion, this is called the superior cessation, the extraordinary cessation, the supreme cessation, the unsurpassed cessation, beyond which there is no other cessation.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(475) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'When Vipasyin Tathagata had not yet become a Buddha, he was alone in a quiet place, meditating and contemplating, observing all feelings. What are feelings? How do feelings arise? How do feelings cease? What is the path to the arising of feelings? What is the path to the cessation of feelings? What is the taste of feelings? What is the danger of feelings? What is the liberation from feelings?' Observing in this way, there are three kinds of feelings—pleasant feelings, painful feelings, and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feelings. The arising of contact is the arising of feelings, and the cessation of contact is the cessation of feelings. If one loves, praises, clings to, and firmly holds onto feelings, this is called the path to the arising of feelings. If one does not love, praise, cling to, or firmly hold onto feelings, this is called the path to the cessation of feelings. If joy and happiness arise from the conditions of feelings, this is called the taste of feelings; if feelings are impermanent and subject to change, this is called the danger of feelings. If one cuts off desire and transcends desire for feelings, this is called the liberation from feelings.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just like Vipasyin Buddha, Sikhi Buddha, Visvabhu Buddha, Krakucchanda Buddha, Kanakamuni Buddha, Kasyapa Buddha, and I, Sakyamuni Buddha, when we had not yet become Buddhas, contemplated and observed all feelings in the same way.

(476) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.


爾時,有異比丘獨一靜處禪思。如是觀察諸受。云何受?云何受集?云何受滅?云何受集道跡?云何受滅道跡?云何受味?云何受患?云何受離?

時,彼比丘從禪覺已,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我獨一靜處禪思,觀察諸受。云何為受?云何受集?云何受滅?云何受集道跡?云何受滅道跡?云何受味?云何受患?云何受離?」

佛告比丘:「有三受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受。觸集是受集,觸滅是受滅。若於受愛樂、讚歎、染著、堅住,是名受集道跡。若於受不愛樂、讚歎、染著、堅住,是名受滅道跡。若受因緣生樂喜,是名受味,若受無常變易法,是名受患。若於受斷欲貪、越欲貪,是名受離。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四七七)

如異比丘問經,尊者阿難所問經亦如是。

(四七八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「云何為受?云何受集?云何受滅?云何受集道跡?云何受滅道跡?」

諸比丘白佛言:「世尊是法根、法眼、法依。善哉!世尊!唯愿廣說,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告諸比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說

現代漢語譯本 當時,有一位比丘獨自在安靜的地方禪思。他這樣觀察各種感受:什麼是感受?感受是如何產生的?感受是如何滅去的?導致感受產生的道路是什麼?導致感受滅去的道路是什麼?感受的樂趣是什麼?感受的過患是什麼?如何從感受中解脫? 這時,那位比丘從禪定中醒來,來到世尊那裡,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,對佛說:『世尊!我獨自在安靜的地方禪思,觀察各種感受。什麼是感受?感受是如何產生的?感受是如何滅去的?導致感受產生的道路是什麼?導致感受滅去的道路是什麼?感受的樂趣是什麼?感受的過患是什麼?如何從感受中解脫?』 佛告訴比丘:『有三種感受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受。觸的產生是感受的產生,觸的滅去是感受的滅去。如果對感受喜愛、讚歎、執著、堅守,這叫做導致感受產生的道路。如果對感受不喜愛、不讚嘆、不執著、不堅守,這叫做導致感受滅去的道路。如果感受因緣而產生快樂和喜悅,這叫做感受的樂趣;如果感受是無常變化之法,這叫做感受的過患。如果對感受斷除慾望和貪愛,超越慾望和貪愛,這叫做從感受中解脫。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四七七) 如同那位比丘所問的經一樣,尊者阿難所問的經也是如此。 (四七八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『什麼是感受?感受是如何產生的?感受是如何滅去的?導致感受產生的道路是什麼?導致感受滅去的道路是什麼?』 眾比丘對佛說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠。太好了!世尊!請您詳細解說,眾比丘聽了之後,一定會接受並奉行。』 佛告訴眾比丘:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。』

English version At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu who was meditating alone in a quiet place. He observed the various feelings in this way: What is feeling? How does feeling arise? How does feeling cease? What is the path leading to the arising of feeling? What is the path leading to the cessation of feeling? What is the gratification of feeling? What is the danger of feeling? How is there escape from feeling? Then, that bhikkhu, having awakened from meditation, went to the Blessed One, bowed at his feet, stood to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, I was meditating alone in a quiet place, observing the various feelings. What is feeling? How does feeling arise? How does feeling cease? What is the path leading to the arising of feeling? What is the path leading to the cessation of feeling? What is the gratification of feeling? What is the danger of feeling? How is there escape from feeling?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'There are three kinds of feeling—pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. The arising of contact is the arising of feeling; the cessation of contact is the cessation of feeling. If one delights in, praises, clings to, and is attached to feeling, this is called the path leading to the arising of feeling. If one does not delight in, praise, cling to, or is attached to feeling, this is called the path leading to the cessation of feeling. If pleasure and joy arise due to feeling, this is called the gratification of feeling; if feeling is impermanent and subject to change, this is called the danger of feeling. If one abandons desire and craving for feeling, and transcends desire and craving, this is called escape from feeling.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. (477) Just as the discourse asked by that bhikkhu, so too is the discourse asked by the venerable Ananda. (478) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'What is feeling? How does feeling arise? How does feeling cease? What is the path leading to the arising of feeling? What is the path leading to the cessation of feeling?' The bhikkhus said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, the Blessed One is the root of the Dhamma, the eye of the Dhamma, and the reliance of the Dhamma. Excellent, Venerable Sir! May the Blessed One please explain in detail, and the bhikkhus, having heard it, will accept and practice accordingly.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'Listen carefully, reflect well, and I will explain it to you.'


。」佛告比丘:「有三受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受。觸集是受集、觸滅是受滅。若於受愛樂、讚歎、染著、堅住,是名受集道跡;若於受不愛樂、讚歎、染著、堅住,是名受滅道跡。若受因緣生樂喜,是名受味;若受無常變易,是名受患;若於受斷欲貪、越欲貪,是名受離。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四七九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若我于諸受不如實知,受集、受滅、受集道跡、受滅道跡、受味、受患、受離不如實知,我于諸天世間、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天、人眾中,不得解脫、出離、脫諸顛倒,亦非阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。以我于諸受、受集、受滅、受集道跡、受滅道跡、受味、受患、受離如實知故,于諸天世間、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天、人眾中,為脫、為出、為脫諸顛倒,得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四八〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴比丘們:『有三種感受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受。觸的產生是感受的產生,觸的滅除是感受的滅除。如果對感受喜愛、讚歎、執著、堅守,這被稱為感受的產生之道;如果對感受不喜愛、不讚嘆、不執著、不堅守,這被稱為感受的滅除之道。如果感受因緣而產生快樂和喜悅,這被稱為感受的滋味;如果感受是無常變化的,這被稱為感受的過患;如果對感受斷除慾望和貪婪,超越慾望和貪婪,這被稱為感受的解脫。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四七九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴比丘們:『如果我對各種感受不能如實地瞭解,不能如實地瞭解感受的產生、感受的滅除、感受產生之道、感受滅除之道、感受的滋味、感受的過患、感受的解脫,那麼我在天界、魔界、梵界、沙門、婆羅門、天人等眾生中,就不能得到解脫、出離、擺脫各種顛倒,也不能證得無上正等正覺。因為我如實地瞭解各種感受、感受的產生、感受的滅除、感受產生之道、感受滅除之道、感受的滋味、感受的過患、感受的解脫,所以在天界、魔界、梵界、沙門、婆羅門、天人等眾生中,我才能得到解脫、出離、擺脫各種顛倒,證得無上正等正覺。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四八〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

English version: The Buddha told the monks, 『There are three kinds of feelings—pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. The arising of contact is the arising of feeling; the cessation of contact is the cessation of feeling. If one loves, praises, clings to, and firmly holds onto feeling, this is called the path leading to the arising of feeling; if one does not love, praise, cling to, or firmly hold onto feeling, this is called the path leading to the cessation of feeling. If feeling gives rise to joy and happiness, this is called the gratification of feeling; if feeling is impermanent and subject to change, this is called the danger of feeling; if one abandons desire and greed for feeling, and transcends desire and greed, this is called the escape from feeling.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (479) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 『If I did not truly understand feelings, the arising of feelings, the cessation of feelings, the path leading to the arising of feelings, the path leading to the cessation of feelings, the gratification of feelings, the danger of feelings, and the escape from feelings, then among the gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, and all beings, I would not have attained liberation, release, or freedom from all delusions, nor would I have attained Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Because I truly understand feelings, the arising of feelings, the cessation of feelings, the path leading to the arising of feelings, the path leading to the cessation of feelings, the gratification of feelings, the danger of feelings, and the escape from feelings, therefore, among the gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, and all beings, I have attained liberation, release, freedom from all delusions, and Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (480) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若沙門、婆羅門于諸受不如實知,受集、受滅、受集道跡、受滅道跡、受味、受患、受離不如實知者;非沙門、非婆羅門,不同沙門、不同婆羅門,非沙門義、非婆羅門義,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』

「若沙門、婆羅門于諸受如實知,受集、受滅、受集道跡、受滅道跡、受味、受患、受離如實知者,彼是沙門之沙門、婆羅門之婆羅門,同沙門、同婆羅門,沙門義、婆羅門義,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如沙門、非沙門,如是沙門數、非沙門數亦如是。

(四八一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住壹奢能伽羅國壹奢能伽羅林中。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我欲於此中半月坐禪。諸比丘!勿復遊行,唯除乞食及布薩,即便坐禪,不復遊行,唯除乞食及布薩。」

爾時,世尊半月過已,敷坐具,于眾前坐,告諸比丘:「我以初成佛時所思惟禪法少許禪分,於今半月,思惟作是念:『諸有眾生,生受皆有因緣,非無因緣。云何因緣?欲是因緣、覺是因緣、觸是因緣

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果沙門或婆羅門對於各種感受不能如實地瞭解,不能如實地瞭解感受的生起、感受的滅去、導致感受生起的道路、導致感受滅去的道路、感受的樂味、感受的過患、感受的解脫,那麼他們就不是真正的沙門,也不是真正的婆羅門,他們不同於真正的沙門,也不同於真正的婆羅門,他們不能實現沙門或婆羅門的真正意義,他們不能在現世親自證悟並確信:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的事情已經完成,我清楚地知道自己不會再有來生。』 『如果沙門或婆羅門對於各種感受能夠如實地瞭解,能夠如實地瞭解感受的生起、感受的滅去、導致感受生起的道路、導致感受滅去的道路、感受的樂味、感受的過患、感受的解脫,那麼他們就是真正的沙門中的沙門,婆羅門中的婆羅門,他們等同於真正的沙門,也等同於真正的婆羅門,他們能實現沙門或婆羅門的真正意義,他們能在現世親自證悟並確信:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的事情已經完成,我清楚地知道自己不會再有來生。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 如同沙門和非沙門,沙門之數和非沙門之數也是如此。 (四八一) 我聽到的是這樣的: 有一次,佛陀住在壹奢能伽羅國的壹奢能伽羅林中。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我打算在這裡進行為期半個月的禪修。各位比丘!不要再來打擾我,除了乞食和布薩之外,就專心禪修,不要再來打擾我,除了乞食和布薩之外。』 當時,世尊半個月過後,鋪好坐具,在眾人面前坐下,告訴眾比丘:『我以初成佛時所思惟的禪法中的少許禪定,在這半個月里,思惟並這樣想:『一切眾生的感受,其產生都有因緣,並非沒有因緣。是什麼因緣呢?欲是因緣,覺是因緣,觸是因緣。』

English version: At that time, the Blessed One said to the monks: 'If a recluse or a Brahmin does not truly understand feelings, the arising of feelings, the cessation of feelings, the path leading to the arising of feelings, the path leading to the cessation of feelings, the gratification of feelings, the danger of feelings, and the escape from feelings, then they are not a true recluse, nor a true Brahmin. They are different from true recluses and different from true Brahmins. They do not realize the true meaning of a recluse or a Brahmin. They cannot, in this very life, realize and bear witness: 「Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, and I know that there will be no further existence.」' 'If a recluse or a Brahmin truly understands feelings, the arising of feelings, the cessation of feelings, the path leading to the arising of feelings, the path leading to the cessation of feelings, the gratification of feelings, the danger of feelings, and the escape from feelings, then they are a true recluse among recluses, a true Brahmin among Brahmins. They are the same as true recluses and the same as true Brahmins. They realize the true meaning of a recluse or a Brahmin. They can, in this very life, realize and bear witness: 「Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, and I know that there will be no further existence.」' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, delighted by the Buddha's words, accepted and practiced them. Just as with recluses and non-recluses, so it is with the number of recluses and the number of non-recluses. (481) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Isigili forest in the country of Isigili. Then, the Blessed One said to the monks: 'I wish to spend half a month in meditation here. Monks! Do not disturb me, except for alms-gathering and the Uposatha. Then, meditate diligently and do not disturb me, except for alms-gathering and the Uposatha.' Then, after half a month had passed, the Blessed One arranged his seat and sat down before the assembly, saying to the monks: 'With a small portion of the meditation that I contemplated when I first became enlightened, I have been contemplating for the past half month, thinking: 「The feelings of all beings arise due to causes, not without causes. What are these causes? Desire is a cause, perception is a cause, contact is a cause.」'

「若沙門、婆羅門於此緣緣、緣緣集、緣緣滅、緣緣集道跡、緣緣滅道跡如實知者,當知是沙門之沙門、婆羅門之婆羅門,同沙門、同婆羅門,以沙門義、婆羅門義,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四八二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。夏安居時。

爾時,給孤獨長者來詣佛所,稽首禮足,卻坐一面,佛為說法,示、教、照、喜,說種種法。示、教、照、喜已,從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛言:「唯愿世尊與諸大眾受我三月請衣被、飲食、應病湯藥。」

爾時,世尊默然而許。

時,給孤獨長者知佛默然受請已,從座起去,還歸自家,過三月已,來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。佛告給孤獨長者:「善哉!長者!三月供養衣被、飲食、應病湯藥。汝以莊嚴凈治上道,于未來世當獲安樂果報,然汝今莫得默然樂受此法,汝當精勤,時時學遠離喜樂,具足身作證。」

時,給孤獨長者聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起而去

現代漢語譯本 『如果沙門或婆羅門能夠如實地知曉此緣起、緣起之集、緣起之滅、緣起之集道跡、緣起之滅道跡,應當知道他們才是真正的沙門中的沙門、婆羅門中的婆羅門,與沙門、婆羅門相同,以沙門之義、婆羅門之義,在現世親自證悟:『我已生盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不再有後世。』 佛陀說完此經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (四八二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時正值夏季安居期間。 那時,給孤獨長者來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐一旁。佛陀為他說法,開示、教導、啓發、令其歡喜,說了種種佛法。開示、教導、啓發、令其歡喜后,給孤獨長者從座位起身,整理衣物,向佛陀作禮,合掌對佛陀說:『唯愿世尊與諸位大眾接受我三個月的供養,包括衣物、飲食、以及生病時的湯藥。』 當時,世尊默然應允。 給孤獨長者知道佛陀默然接受供養后,便從座位起身離去,回到家中。過了三個月后,他來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐一旁。佛陀告訴給孤獨長者:『善哉!長者!你三個月供養衣物、飲食、以及生病時的湯藥。你以此莊嚴清凈的修行,在未來世將獲得安樂的果報。然而,你現在不要只是默默地享受此法,你應當精勤,時時學習遠離喜樂,具足以身體證悟。』 當時,給孤獨長者聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位起身離去。

English version 'If a 'shramana' or a 'brahmana' truly understands this dependent origination, the arising of dependent origination, the cessation of dependent origination, the path leading to the arising of dependent origination, and the path leading to the cessation of dependent origination, then know that they are the true 'shramana' among 'shramanas', the true 'brahmana' among 'brahmanas', the same as 'shramanas' and 'brahmanas', and through the meaning of 'shramana' and 'brahmana', they realize for themselves in this very life: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know for myself that there will be no further existence.』' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (482) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. It was during the summer retreat. At that time, the elder Anathapindika came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The Buddha taught him the Dharma, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening him, speaking on various aspects of the Dharma. Having shown, instructed, illuminated, and gladdened him, the elder Anathapindika rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, bowed to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'May the World-Honored One and the assembly accept my offering of robes, food, and medicine for the sick for three months.' At that time, the World-Honored One silently consented. When the elder Anathapindika knew that the Buddha had silently accepted his offering, he rose from his seat and departed, returning to his home. After three months had passed, he came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to the elder Anathapindika: 'Well done, elder! For three months you have offered robes, food, and medicine for the sick. With this adorned and purified practice, you will obtain the fruit of happiness in the future. However, you should not now merely silently enjoy this Dharma; you should be diligent, constantly learning to be detached from joy and pleasure, and fully realize it through your own body.' At that time, the elder Anathapindika, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed along, and rose from his seat and departed.


爾時,尊者舍利弗于眾中坐,知給孤獨長者去已,白佛言:「奇哉!世尊!善為給孤獨長者說法,善勸勵給孤獨長者,言:『汝已三月具足供養如來大眾中,凈治上道,于未來世,當受樂報;汝莫默然樂著此福,汝當時時學遠離喜樂,具足身作證。』世尊!若使聖弟子學遠離喜樂,具足身作證,得遠離五法,修滿五法。云何遠離五法?謂斷欲所長養喜、斷欲所長養憂、斷欲所長養舍、斷不善所長養喜、斷不善所長養憂,是名五法遠離。云何修滿五法?謂隨喜、歡喜、猗息、樂、一心。」

佛告舍利弗:「如是,如是。若聖弟子修學遠離喜樂,具足身作證,遠離五法,修滿五法。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四八三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有食念者、有無食念者、有無食無食念者;有食樂者、無食樂者、有無食無食樂者;有食舍者、有無食舍者、有無食無食舍者;有食解脫者、有無食解脫者、有無食無食解脫者。

「云何食念?謂五欲因緣生念。云何無食念?謂比丘離欲、離惡不善法,有覺有觀,離生喜樂,初禪具足住,是名無食念

現代漢語譯本: 當時,尊者舍利弗在眾人中坐著,知道給孤獨長者已經離開,就對佛說:『真是奇特啊!世尊!您善於為給孤獨長者說法,善於勸勉給孤獨長者,說:『你已經三個月圓滿地供養如來大眾,清凈地修習上乘之道,在未來世,應當承受快樂的果報;你不要默默地貪戀這種福報,你應當常常學習遠離喜樂,圓滿地以自身證悟。』世尊!如果聖弟子學習遠離喜樂,圓滿地以自身證悟,就能遠離五種法,修滿五種法。如何遠離五種法呢?就是斷除由慾望所滋長的喜、斷除由慾望所滋長的憂、斷除由慾望所滋長的舍、斷除由不善所滋長的喜、斷除由不善所滋長的憂,這稱為遠離五種法。如何修滿五種法呢?就是隨喜、歡喜、猗息、樂、一心。』 佛告訴舍利弗:『是的,是的。如果聖弟子修習遠離喜樂,圓滿地以自身證悟,就能遠離五種法,修滿五種法。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,都歡喜地奉行。

(四八三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有以食爲念的、有不以食爲念的、有非以食非不以食爲念的;有以食為樂的、有不以食為樂的、有非以食非不以食為樂的;有以食為舍的、有不以食為舍的、有非以食非不以食為舍的;有以食為解脫的、有不以食為解脫的、有非以食非不以食為解脫的。』 『什麼是以食爲念呢?就是由五欲因緣所生的念。什麼是不以食爲念呢?就是比丘離開慾望、離開邪惡不善的法,有覺有觀,因遠離(欲)而生喜樂,圓滿地安住于初禪,這稱為不以食爲念。

English version: At that time, the Venerable Sariputra, sitting in the assembly, knowing that the Elder Anathapindika had departed, said to the Buddha: 'It is wonderful, O Blessed One! You have skillfully taught the Elder Anathapindika, and skillfully exhorted him, saying: 「You have for three months fully offered to the Tathagata and the Sangha, purified the supreme path, and in the future, you shall receive the reward of happiness; do not silently cling to this merit, you should always learn to be detached from joy and pleasure, and fully realize it through your own body.」 O Blessed One! If a noble disciple learns to be detached from joy and pleasure, and fully realizes it through his own body, he will be detached from five things and cultivate five things to perfection. How does one become detached from five things? It is to abandon the joy that is nourished by desire, to abandon the sorrow that is nourished by desire, to abandon the equanimity that is nourished by desire, to abandon the joy that is nourished by unwholesomeness, and to abandon the sorrow that is nourished by unwholesomeness. This is called detachment from five things. How does one cultivate five things to perfection? It is to rejoice, to be delighted, to be tranquil, to be happy, and to be one-pointed in mind.' The Buddha said to Sariputra: 'So it is, so it is. If a noble disciple cultivates detachment from joy and pleasure, and fully realizes it through his own body, he will be detached from five things and cultivate five things to perfection.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(483) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the Blessed One said to the monks: 'There are those who have mindfulness based on food, those who have mindfulness not based on food, and those who have mindfulness neither based on food nor not based on food; there are those who have pleasure based on food, those who have pleasure not based on food, and those who have pleasure neither based on food nor not based on food; there are those who have equanimity based on food, those who have equanimity not based on food, and those who have equanimity neither based on food nor not based on food; there are those who have liberation based on food, those who have liberation not based on food, and those who have liberation neither based on food nor not based on food.' 'What is mindfulness based on food? It is mindfulness that arises from the conditions of the five desires. What is mindfulness not based on food? It is when a monk, having abandoned desire, having abandoned evil and unwholesome things, with initial thought and sustained thought, having the joy and happiness born of detachment, abides in the first jhana, this is called mindfulness not based on food.'


。云何無食無食念?謂比丘有覺有觀息,內凈一心,無覺無觀,定生喜樂,第二禪具足住,是名無食無食念。

「云何有食樂?謂五欲因緣生樂、生喜,是名有食樂。云何無食樂?謂息有覺有觀,內凈一心,無覺無觀,定生喜樂,是名無食樂。云何無食無食樂?謂比丘離喜貪,舍心住正念正知,安樂住彼聖說舍,是名無食無食樂。

「云何有食舍?謂五欲因緣生舍,是名有食舍。云何無食舍?謂彼比丘離喜貪,舍心住正念正知,安樂住彼聖說舍,第三禪具足住,是名無食舍。云何無食無食舍?謂比丘離苦息樂,憂喜先已離,不苦不樂舍,凈念一心,第四禪具足住,是名無食無食舍。

「云何有食解脫?謂色俱行。云何無食解脫?謂無色俱行。云何無食無食解脫?謂彼比丘貪慾不染、解脫,瞋恚、愚癡心不染、解脫,是名無食無食解脫。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

爾時,尊者跋陀羅比丘及尊者阿難俱住祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者阿難往詣尊者跋陀羅所,共相問訊慰勞已,於一面住

現代漢語譯本:什麼是『無食無食念』?是指比丘在覺和觀都止息后,內心清凈,達到一心不亂的狀態,沒有覺和觀,由禪定而生起喜悅和快樂,完全安住于第二禪,這稱為『無食無食念』。 什麼是『有食樂』?是指由五欲的因緣而產生的快樂和喜悅,這稱為『有食樂』。什麼是『無食樂』?是指止息了覺和觀,內心清凈,達到一心不亂的狀態,沒有覺和觀,由禪定而生起喜悅和快樂,這稱為『無食樂』。什麼是『無食無食樂』?是指比丘捨棄了對喜的貪戀,以舍心安住于正念和正知,安樂地安住于聖者所說的舍,這稱為『無食無食樂』。 什麼是『有食舍』?是指由五欲的因緣而產生的舍,這稱為『有食舍』。什麼是『無食舍』?是指比丘捨棄了對喜的貪戀,以舍心安住于正念和正知,安樂地安住于聖者所說的舍,完全安住于第三禪,這稱為『無食舍』。什麼是『無食無食舍』?是指比丘捨棄了苦和樂,憂和喜也早已離去,處於不苦不樂的舍的狀態,以清凈的念達到一心不亂,完全安住于第四禪,這稱為『無食無食舍』。 什麼是『有食解脫』?是指與色界相應的解脫。什麼是『無食解脫』?是指與無色界相應的解脫。什麼是『無食無食解脫』?是指比丘對貪慾不再執著,獲得解脫;對嗔恚和愚癡也不再執著,獲得解脫,這稱為『無食無食解脫』。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (四八四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者跋陀羅比丘和尊者阿難一同住在祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,尊者阿難前往尊者跋陀羅的住所,互相問候慰勞后,在一旁坐下。

At that time, the venerable Bhaddara bhikkhu and the venerable Ananda were both dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika』s Park. Then, the venerable Ananda went to the venerable Bhaddara, and after exchanging greetings and courtesies, sat down to one side.


。時,尊者阿難問尊者跋陀羅比丘言:「云何名為見第一?云何聞第一?云何樂第一?云何想第一?云何有第一?」

尊者跋陀羅語尊者阿難言:「有梵天自在造作、化如意,為世之父,若見彼梵天者,名曰見第一。

「阿難!有眾生離生喜樂,處處潤澤,處處敷悅,舉身充滿,無不滿處。所謂離生喜樂,彼從三昧起,舉聲唱說,遍告大眾:『極寂靜者,離生喜樂,極樂者,離生喜樂。』諸有聞彼聲者,是名聞第一。

「云何有第一?複次,阿難!有眾生度一切無所有入處,非想非非想入處具足住,若起彼有者,是名有第一。」

尊者阿難語尊者跋陀羅比丘言:「多有人作如是見、如是說,汝亦同彼,有何差別?我作方便問汝,汝當諦聽,當爲汝說。如其所觀,次第盡諸漏,是為見第一。如其所聞,次第盡諸漏,是名聞第一。如所生樂,次第盡諸漏者,是名樂第一。如其所想,次第盡諸漏者,是名想第一。如實觀察,次第盡諸漏,是名有第一

現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者阿難問尊者跋陀羅比丘說:『什麼叫做見第一?什麼叫做聞第一?什麼叫做樂第一?什麼叫做想第一?什麼叫做有第一?』 尊者跋陀羅對尊者阿難說:『有梵天能夠自在地創造和變化,隨心所欲,是世間的父親。如果能見到那位梵天,就叫做見第一。』 『阿難!有些眾生脫離了欲界的喜樂,處處感到滋潤,處處感到舒暢,全身都充滿喜樂,沒有哪個地方不充滿。這種脫離欲界而產生的喜樂,是從禪定中產生的。他們會高聲唱說,遍告大眾:『最寂靜的,是脫離欲界而產生的喜樂;最快樂的,是脫離欲界而產生的喜樂。』凡是聽到這種聲音的,就叫做聞第一。』 『再者,阿難!有些眾生在這個身體中,脫離了喜悅的快樂,感到滋潤,處處感到滋潤,舒暢充滿,全身充滿,沒有哪個地方不充滿。這種脫離喜悅的快樂,就叫做樂第一。』 『什麼叫做想第一?阿難!有些眾生超越了一切識的領域,進入無所有之處,安住于無所有之處。如果產生這種想法,就叫做想第一。』 『什麼叫做有第一?再者,阿難!有些眾生超越了一切無所有之處,進入非想非非想之處,安住于非想非非想之處。如果產生這種存在感,就叫做有第一。』 尊者阿難對尊者跋陀羅比丘說:『很多人都有這樣的見解和說法,你也和他們一樣,有什麼區別呢?我方便地問你,你應當仔細聽,我將為你解釋。像他們所觀察的那樣,次第地斷盡一切煩惱,這才是見第一。像他們所聽聞的那樣,次第地斷盡一切煩惱,這才是聞第一。像他們所產生的快樂那樣,次第地斷盡一切煩惱,這才是樂第一。像他們所想的那樣,次第地斷盡一切煩惱,這才是想第一。如實地觀察,次第地斷盡一切煩惱,這才是有第一。』

English version: At that time, the Venerable Ananda asked the Venerable Bhadra Bhikkhu, 'What is called the foremost in seeing? What is called the foremost in hearing? What is called the foremost in pleasure? What is called the foremost in thought? What is called the foremost in existence?' The Venerable Bhadra said to the Venerable Ananda, 'There is a Brahma who can freely create and transform at will, who is the father of the world. If one sees that Brahma, it is called the foremost in seeing.' 'Ananda! There are beings who have abandoned the joy and pleasure of the desire realm, and are everywhere refreshed, everywhere delighted, their whole bodies filled, with no place not filled. This joy and pleasure that arises from detachment, arises from samadhi. They will loudly proclaim, announcing to the masses: 'The most peaceful is the joy and pleasure that arises from detachment; the most joyful is the joy and pleasure that arises from detachment.' Those who hear this sound are called the foremost in hearing.' 'Furthermore, Ananda! There are beings who, in this body, have abandoned the pleasure of joy, and are refreshed, everywhere refreshed, delighted and filled, their whole bodies filled, with no place not filled. This pleasure that arises from the abandonment of joy is called the foremost in pleasure.' 'What is called the foremost in thought? Ananda! There are beings who have transcended all realms of consciousness, entered the realm of nothingness, and abide in the realm of nothingness. If they give rise to this thought, it is called the foremost in thought.' 'What is called the foremost in existence? Furthermore, Ananda! There are beings who have transcended all realms of nothingness, entered the realm of neither perception nor non-perception, and abide in the realm of neither perception nor non-perception. If they give rise to this sense of existence, it is called the foremost in existence.' The Venerable Ananda said to the Venerable Bhadra Bhikkhu, 'Many people have such views and say such things. You are the same as them, what is the difference? I ask you in a skillful way, you should listen carefully, and I will explain it to you. As they observe, gradually exhausting all defilements, this is the foremost in seeing. As they hear, gradually exhausting all defilements, this is the foremost in hearing. As the pleasure they experience, gradually exhausting all defilements, this is the foremost in pleasure. As they think, gradually exhausting all defilements, this is the foremost in thought. As they truly observe, gradually exhausting all defilements, this is the foremost in existence.'


。」

時,二正士共論說已,從座起去。

(四八五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,瓶沙王詣尊者優陀夷所,稽首作禮,退坐一面。時,瓶沙王白尊者優陀夷言:「云何世尊所說諸受?」

優陀夷言:「大王!世尊說三受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受。」

瓶沙王白尊者優陀夷:「莫作是言:『世尊說三受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受。』正應有二受——樂受、苦受。若不苦不樂受,是則寂滅。」如是三說,優陀夷不能為王立三受,王亦不能立二受,俱共詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面。

時,尊者優陀夷以先所說,廣白世尊:「我亦不能立三受,王亦不能立二受,今故共來具問世尊如是之義,定有幾受?」

佛告優陀夷:「我有時說一受,或時說二受,或說三、四、五、六、十八、三十六,乃至百八受,或時說無量受。

「云何我說一受?如說所有受,皆悉是苦,是名我說一受。云何說二受?說身受、心受,是名二受。云何三受?樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受。云何四受?謂欲界系受、色界系受、無色界系受,及不繫受。云何說五受?謂樂根、喜根、苦根、憂根、舍根,是名說五受。云何說六受?謂眼觸生受

當時,兩位正士討論完畢,便從座位起身離去。 (四八五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,瓶沙王前往尊者優陀夷的住所,向他頂禮問候,然後退坐在一旁。瓶沙王對尊者優陀夷說:『世尊所說的各種感受是怎樣的呢?』 優陀夷說:『大王,世尊說有三種感受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受。』 瓶沙王對尊者優陀夷說:『不要這樣說:「世尊說有三種感受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受。」應該只有兩種感受——樂受、苦受。如果是不苦不樂受,那就是寂滅。』這樣說了三次,優陀夷都不能讓國王接受三種感受的說法,國王也不能讓優陀夷接受兩種感受的說法,於是他們一同前往佛陀的住所,向佛陀頂禮問候,然後退坐在一旁。 當時,尊者優陀夷將之前所說的話,詳細地告訴了世尊:『我不能堅持三種感受的說法,國王也不能堅持兩種感受的說法,所以現在我們一同前來請教世尊,這感受究竟有幾種?』 佛陀告訴優陀夷:『我有時說一種感受,有時說兩種感受,有時說三、四、五、六、十八、三十六種,乃至一百零八種感受,有時說無量種感受。』 『我所說的一種感受是什麼呢?比如我說所有感受都是苦,這就是我所說的一種感受。我所說的兩種感受是什麼呢?是身受和心受,這就是我所說的兩種感受。我所說的三種感受是什麼呢?是樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受。我所說的四種感受是什麼呢?是指欲界系受、色界系受、無色界系受,以及不繫受。我所說的五種感受是什麼呢?是指樂根、喜根、苦根、憂根、舍根,這就是我所說的五種感受。我所說的六種感受是什麼呢?是指眼觸所生的感受

At that time, the two righteous men, having finished their discussion, rose from their seats and departed. (485) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, King Bimbisara went to the Venerable Udāyi, bowed his head in reverence, and sat down to one side. King Bimbisara then said to the Venerable Udāyi, 'What are the feelings that the Blessed One has spoken of?' Udāyi said, 'Great King, the Blessed One has spoken of three feelings—pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling.' King Bimbisara said to the Venerable Udāyi, 'Do not say, 「The Blessed One has spoken of three feelings—pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling.」 There should only be two feelings—pleasant feeling and painful feeling. If there is neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling, then that is cessation.' After saying this three times, Udāyi could not establish the three feelings for the king, nor could the king establish the two feelings for Udāyi. Together, they went to the Buddha, bowed their heads in reverence, and stood to one side. Then, the Venerable Udāyi, recounting what had been said earlier, explained to the Blessed One, 'I could not establish the three feelings, nor could the king establish the two feelings. Therefore, we have come together to ask the Blessed One about this matter. How many feelings are there definitively?' The Buddha said to Udāyi, 'Sometimes I speak of one feeling, sometimes I speak of two feelings, sometimes I speak of three, four, five, six, eighteen, thirty-six, even one hundred and eight feelings, and sometimes I speak of countless feelings.' 'How do I speak of one feeling? For example, when I say that all feelings are suffering, that is what I mean by one feeling. How do I speak of two feelings? I speak of bodily feeling and mental feeling, that is what I mean by two feelings. How do I speak of three feelings? Pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling. How do I speak of four feelings? I refer to feelings associated with the desire realm, the form realm, the formless realm, and unassociated feelings. How do I speak of five feelings? I refer to the pleasure faculty, the joy faculty, the pain faculty, the displeasure faculty, and the equanimity faculty, that is what I mean by five feelings. How do I speak of six feelings? I refer to the feeling born of eye contact


。耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸生受。云何說十八受?謂隨六喜行、隨六憂行、隨六舍行受,是名說十八受。云何三十六受,依六貪著喜、依六離貪著喜、依六貪著憂、依六離貪著憂、依六貪著舍、依六離貪著舍,是名說三十六受。云何說百八受?謂三十六受,過去三十六、未來三十六、現在三十六,是名說百八受。云何說無量受?如說此受彼受等,比如是無量名說,是名說無量受。

「優陀夷!我如是種種說受如實義,世間不解,故而共諍論,共相違反,終竟不得我法、律中真實之義以自止息。優陀夷!若於我此所說種種受義,如實解知者,不起諍論、共相違反,起、未起諍能以法、律止令休息。

「然,優陀夷!有二受,欲受、離欲受。云何欲受,五欲功德因緣生受,是名欲受。云何離欲受?謂比丘離欲、惡不善法,有覺有觀,離生喜樂,初禪具足住,是名離欲受。

「若有說言眾生依此初禪,唯是為樂非餘者,此則不然。所以者何?更有勝樂過於此故,何者是?謂比丘離有覺有觀,內凈,定生喜、樂,第二禪具足住,是名勝樂。如是,乃至非想非非想入處,轉轉勝說。

「若有說言:『唯有此處,乃至非想非非想極樂非余。』亦復不然

現代漢語譯本:耳、鼻、舌、身、意接觸產生感受。為什麼說有十八種感受呢?這是指隨著六種喜的活動、六種憂的活動、六種舍的活動而產生的感受,這被稱為十八種感受。為什麼說有三十六種感受呢?這是指基於六種貪著的喜、六種離貪著的喜、六種貪著的憂、六種離貪著的憂、六種貪著的舍、六種離貪著的舍,這被稱為三十六種感受。為什麼說有一百零八種感受呢?這是指三十六種感受,過去三十六種、未來三十六種、現在三十六種,這被稱為一百零八種感受。為什麼說有無量種感受呢?就像說這種感受、那種感受等等,像這樣有無數種名稱的說法,這被稱為無量種感受。 『優陀夷!我這樣種種地如實解釋感受的意義,世間的人不理解,所以互相爭論,互相違背,最終不能在我所說的法和律中找到真實的意義來使自己平靜下來。優陀夷!如果有人對我所說的種種感受的意義,如實地理解,就不會產生爭論、互相違背,對於已經產生或未產生的爭論,能用我所說的法和律來平息。』 『然而,優陀夷!有兩種感受,欲的感受和離欲的感受。什麼是欲的感受呢?是指由五種慾望的功德所產生的感受,這被稱為欲的感受。什麼是離欲的感受呢?是指比丘離開慾望、惡和不善的法,有覺有觀,由遠離而產生喜樂,具足安住于初禪,這被稱為離欲的感受。』 『如果有人說眾生依靠這初禪,只有快樂而沒有其他,這是不對的。為什麼呢?因為還有比這更殊勝的快樂,那是什麼呢?是指比丘離開覺和觀,內心清凈,由禪定產生喜樂,具足安住于第二禪,這被稱為殊勝的快樂。像這樣,乃至到達非想非非想入處,都是逐漸殊勝的說法。』 『如果有人說:『只有此處,乃至非想非非想才是極樂,沒有其他。』這也是不對的。

English version: The ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind experience feelings through contact. Why are there said to be eighteen kinds of feelings? This refers to the feelings that arise with six kinds of pleasant activities, six kinds of unpleasant activities, and six kinds of neutral activities; these are called the eighteen kinds of feelings. Why are there said to be thirty-six kinds of feelings? This refers to the feelings based on six kinds of attachment to pleasure, six kinds of detachment from pleasure, six kinds of attachment to displeasure, six kinds of detachment from displeasure, six kinds of attachment to neutrality, and six kinds of detachment from neutrality; these are called the thirty-six kinds of feelings. Why are there said to be one hundred and eight kinds of feelings? This refers to the thirty-six kinds of feelings, the thirty-six past, the thirty-six future, and the thirty-six present; these are called the one hundred and eight kinds of feelings. Why are there said to be immeasurable kinds of feelings? It is like saying this feeling, that feeling, etc., with countless names; these are called immeasurable kinds of feelings. 'Udayi! I have thus explained the true meaning of feelings in various ways, but the world does not understand, so they argue with each other, contradict each other, and ultimately cannot find the true meaning in my Dharma and Vinaya to calm themselves. Udayi! If someone truly understands the meaning of the various feelings I have explained, they will not engage in arguments or contradictions, and they can use my Dharma and Vinaya to quell any disputes that have arisen or may arise.' 'However, Udayi! There are two kinds of feelings: feelings of desire and feelings of detachment from desire. What are feelings of desire? They are the feelings that arise from the merits of the five desires; these are called feelings of desire. What are feelings of detachment from desire? They are the feelings of a bhikkhu who has abandoned desire, evil, and unwholesome dharmas, who has initial and sustained thought, and who experiences joy and happiness born of detachment, fully abiding in the first jhana; these are called feelings of detachment from desire.' 'If someone says that beings rely on this first jhana and that there is only happiness and nothing else, this is not correct. Why? Because there is a more superior happiness than this. What is it? It is when a bhikkhu abandons initial and sustained thought, has inner purity, and experiences joy and happiness born of concentration, fully abiding in the second jhana; this is called superior happiness. In this way, up to the realm of neither perception nor non-perception, each is described as increasingly superior.' 'If someone says, 『Only this place, up to neither perception nor non-perception, is the ultimate happiness, and there is no other,』 this is also not correct.'


。所以者何?更有勝樂過於此故,何者是?謂比丘度一切非想非非想入處,想受滅,身作證具足住,是名勝樂過於彼者。

「若有異學出家作是說言:『沙門釋種子唯說想受滅,名為至樂。』此所不應。所以者何?應當語言:『此非世尊所說受樂數,世尊說受樂數者,如說。』

「優陀夷!有四種樂。何等為四?謂離欲樂、遠離樂、寂滅樂、菩提樂。」

佛說此經已,尊者優陀夷及瓶沙王聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四八六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若於一法,生正厭離、不樂、背舍,得盡諸漏,所謂一切眾生由食而存。復有二法,名及色。復有三法,謂三受。復有四法,謂四食。復有五法,謂五受陰。復有六法,謂六內外入處。復有七法,謂七識住。復有八法,謂世八法。復有九法,謂九眾生居。復有十法,謂十業跡。於此十法,生厭、不樂、背舍,得盡諸漏。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四八七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若於一法,生正厭離、不樂、背舍,究竟苦邊,解脫于苦,謂一切眾生由食而存

這是為什麼呢?因為還有比這更殊勝的快樂,那是什麼呢?是指比丘超越一切非想非非想處,達到想受滅,以身體親自證悟並安住于其中,這才是比那更殊勝的快樂。 『如果有其他學派的出家人這樣說:『沙門釋迦的弟子只說想受滅是最高的快樂。』這種說法是不對的。為什麼呢?應該這樣說:『這不是世尊所說的快樂的範疇,世尊所說的快樂的範疇是這樣的。』 『優陀夷!有四種快樂。是哪四種呢?是指離欲的快樂、遠離的快樂、寂滅的快樂、菩提的快樂。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者優陀夷和瓶沙王聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 (四八六) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果對於一種法,生起正確的厭離、不喜、背棄,就能斷盡一切煩惱,這指的是一切眾生都依靠食物而生存。還有兩種法,是名和色。還有三種法,是三種感受。還有四種法,是四種食物。還有五種法,是五種受陰。還有六種法,是六種內外入處。還有七種法,是七種識住。還有八種法,是世間的八法。還有九種法,是九種眾生居住的地方。還有十種法,是十種業跡。對於這十種法,生起厭離、不喜、背棄,就能斷盡一切煩惱。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 (四八七) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果對於一種法,生起正確的厭離、不喜、背棄,就能究竟苦的邊際,從苦中解脫出來,這指的是一切眾生都依靠食物而生存。

Why is that? Because there is a superior bliss beyond this, and what is that? It is when a bhikkhu, having transcended all the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, attains the cessation of perception and feeling, and having realized it with his own body, abides in it. This is the superior bliss beyond that. 『If other ascetics from different schools were to say: 『The disciples of the Śākya ascetics only say that the cessation of perception and feeling is the ultimate bliss.』 This is not correct. Why is that? One should say: 『This is not the category of bliss spoken of by the Blessed One. The category of bliss spoken of by the Blessed One is as follows.』 『Udayin! There are four kinds of bliss. What are the four? They are the bliss of detachment, the bliss of seclusion, the bliss of cessation, and the bliss of enlightenment.』 After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the venerable Udayin and King Bimbisara, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (486) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagaha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 『If with regard to one thing, one generates right revulsion, dislike, and turning away, one will exhaust all the defilements. This refers to all beings who subsist on food. There are also two things, namely name and form. There are also three things, namely the three feelings. There are also four things, namely the four kinds of nutriment. There are also five things, namely the five aggregates of clinging. There are also six things, namely the six internal and external sense bases. There are also seven things, namely the seven stations of consciousness. There are also eight things, namely the eight worldly conditions. There are also nine things, namely the nine abodes of beings. There are also ten things, namely the ten courses of action. With regard to these ten things, by generating revulsion, dislike, and turning away, one will exhaust all the defilements.』 After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (487) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagaha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 『If with regard to one thing, one generates right revulsion, dislike, and turning away, one will reach the end of suffering and be liberated from suffering. This refers to all beings who subsist on food.』


。復有二法,名及色。復有三法,謂三受。復有四法,謂四食。復有五法,謂五受陰。復有六法,謂六內外入處。復有七法,謂七識住。復有八法,謂世八法。復有九法,謂九眾生居。復有十法,謂十業跡。於此十法,生正厭離、不樂、背舍,究竟苦邊,解脫于苦。」

(四五五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「緣界種種故生種種觸,緣種種觸生種種想,緣種種想生種種欲,緣種種欲生種種覺,緣種種覺生種種熱,緣種種熱生種種求。

「云何種種界?謂十八界,眼界,乃至法界。

「云何緣種種界生種種觸?云何?乃至緣種種熱生種種求?謂緣眼界生眼觸,非緣眼觸生眼界,但緣眼界生眼觸;緣眼觸生眼想,非緣眼想生眼觸,但緣眼觸生眼想;緣眼想生眼欲,非緣眼欲生眼想,但緣眼想生眼欲;緣眼欲生眼覺,非緣眼覺生眼欲,但緣眼欲生眼覺;緣眼覺生眼熱,非緣眼熱生眼覺,但緣眼覺生眼熱;緣眼熱生眼求,非緣眼求生眼熱,但緣眼熱生眼求。如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意界緣生意觸,乃至緣意熱生意求,亦如是廣說

還有三種法,稱為三受。還有四種法,稱為四食。還有五種法,稱為五受陰。還有六種法,稱為六內外入處。還有七種法,稱為七識住。還有八種法,稱為世間八法。還有九種法,稱為九眾生居。還有十種法,稱為十業跡。對於這十業跡,觀察無常、觀察變易、觀察離欲、觀察滅、觀察舍離,最終達到苦的盡頭,從苦中解脫。

佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。

《雜阿含經》卷第十七

(四五五)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『由於種種界而產生種種觸,由於種種觸而產生種種想,由於種種想而產生種種欲,由於種種欲而產生種種覺,由於種種覺而產生種種熱,由於種種熱而產生種種求。』

『什麼是種種界呢?就是十八界,眼界,乃至法界。』

『為什麼說由於種種界而產生種種觸?為什麼說乃至由於種種熱而產生種種求呢?就是說由於眼界而產生眼觸,不是由於眼觸而產生眼界,只是由於眼界而產生眼觸;由於眼觸而產生眼想,不是由於眼想而產生眼觸,只是由於眼觸而產生眼想;由於眼想而產生眼欲,不是由於眼欲而產生眼想,只是由於眼想而產生眼欲;由於眼欲而產生眼覺,不是由於眼覺而產生眼欲,只是由於眼欲而產生眼覺;由於眼覺而產生眼熱,不是由於眼熱而產生眼覺,只是由於眼覺而產生眼熱;由於眼熱而產生眼求,不是由於眼求而產生眼熱,只是由於眼熱而產生眼求。像這樣,耳、鼻、舌、身、意界由於產生意觸,乃至由於意熱而產生意求,也像這樣廣泛地說明。 還有三種法,稱為三受。還有四種法,稱為四食。還有五種法,稱為五受陰。還有六種法,稱為六內外入處。還有七種法,稱為七識住。還有八種法,稱為世間八法。還有九種法,稱為九眾生居。還有十種法,稱為十業跡。對於這十業跡,觀察無常、觀察變易、觀察離欲、觀察滅、觀察舍離,最終達到苦的盡頭,從苦中解脫。

'Furthermore, there are three dharmas, called the three feelings. Furthermore, there are four dharmas, called the four nutriments. Furthermore, there are five dharmas, called the five aggregates of clinging. Furthermore, there are six dharmas, called the six internal and external sense bases. Furthermore, there are seven dharmas, called the seven abodes of consciousness. Furthermore, there are eight dharmas, called the eight worldly conditions.

After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 17

(455)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'Due to various elements, various contacts arise; due to various contacts, various perceptions arise; due to various perceptions, various desires arise; due to various desires, various feelings arise; due to various feelings, various heat arises; due to various heat, various cravings arise.'

'What are the various elements? They are the eighteen elements: the eye element, and so on, up to the dharma element.'

'How do various contacts arise due to various elements? How, and so on, do various cravings arise due to various heat? It is that due to the eye element, eye contact arises; it is not that due to eye contact, the eye element arises, but only due to the eye element, eye contact arises; due to eye contact, eye perception arises; it is not that due to eye perception, eye contact arises, but only due to eye contact, eye perception arises; due to eye perception, eye desire arises; it is not that due to eye desire, eye perception arises, but only due to eye perception, eye desire arises; due to eye desire, eye feeling arises; it is not that due to eye feeling, eye desire arises, but only due to eye desire, eye feeling arises; due to eye feeling, eye heat arises; it is not that due to eye heat, eye feeling arises, but only due to eye feeling, eye heat arises; due to eye heat, eye craving arises; it is not that due to eye craving, eye heat arises, but only due to eye heat, eye craving arises. Likewise, the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind elements, due to mind contact arising, and so on, up to due to mind heat, mind craving arising, are also explained in detail.'

。是名比丘緣種種界生種種觸,乃至緣種種熱生種種求,非緣種種求生種種熱,乃至非緣種種觸生種種界,但緣種種界生種種觸,乃至緣種種熱生種種求。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如內六入處,外六入處亦如是說。 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 雜阿含經

雜阿含經卷第十八

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯弟子所說誦第四品

(四九〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住摩竭提國那羅聚落。

爾時,尊者舍利弗亦在摩竭提國那羅聚落。

時,有外道出家名閻浮車,是舍利弗舊善知識,來詣舍利弗,問訊、共相慰勞已,退坐一面,問舍利弗言:「賢聖法、律中,有何難事?」

舍利弗告閻浮車:「唯出家難。」

「云何出家難?」

答言:「愛樂者難。」

「云何愛樂難?」

答言:「樂常修善法難。」

復問:「舍利弗!有道有向,修習多修習,常修善法增長耶?」

答言:「有。謂八正道。謂正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。」

閻浮車言:「舍利弗!此則善道,此則善向,修習多修習,于諸善法常修習增長

現代漢語譯本:『是因為比丘以種種界為緣而生種種觸,乃至以種種熱為緣而生種種求,不是以種種求為緣而生種種熱,乃至不是以種種觸為緣而生種種界,而是以種種界為緣而生種種觸,乃至以種種熱為緣而生種種求。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 如同對內六入處的解釋一樣,對外六入處的解釋也是如此。 《雜阿含經》第十八卷 宋代天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯,弟子所誦第四品 (四九〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在摩竭提國的那羅聚落。 當時,尊者舍利弗也住在摩竭提國的那羅聚落。 當時,有一位外道出家人名叫閻浮車,是舍利弗以前的好朋友,他來到舍利弗那裡,問候、互相慰問之後,退坐在一旁,問舍利弗說:『在賢聖的法和律中,有什麼難事?』 舍利弗告訴閻浮車說:『唯有出家是難事。』 『為什麼出家是難事呢?』 回答說:『因為愛樂出家是難事。』 『為什麼愛樂出家是難事呢?』 回答說:『因為樂於經常修習善法是難事。』 又問:『舍利弗!有沒有一條道路,一個方向,通過修習、多次修習,能使常修善法增長呢?』 回答說:『有。那就是八正道。即正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。』 閻浮車說:『舍利弗!這真是善道,這真是善的方向,通過修習、多次修習,能使在各種善法上經常修習增長。』

English version: 'It is because a bhikkhu, conditioned by various realms, experiences various contacts, and further, conditioned by various feelings, arises various desires. It is not that conditioned by various desires, various feelings arise, nor is it that conditioned by various contacts, various realms arise. Rather, it is conditioned by various realms that various contacts arise, and further, conditioned by various feelings that various desires arise.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. Just as it was explained regarding the six internal sense bases, so it is explained regarding the six external sense bases. The Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 18 Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Guṇabhadra of the Song Dynasty, the Fourth Chapter recited by the disciples (490) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the village of Nala in the country of Magadha. At that time, the Venerable Sariputra was also dwelling in the village of Nala in the country of Magadha. Then, there was an ascetic of another sect named Jambuka, who was an old friend of Sariputra. He came to Sariputra, greeted him, and after exchanging pleasantries, sat down to one side and asked Sariputra, 'In the Dharma and Discipline of the Noble Ones, what is difficult?' Sariputra told Jambuka, 'Only going forth is difficult.' 'How is going forth difficult?' He replied, 'Because it is difficult to delight in it.' 'How is delighting in it difficult?' He replied, 'Because it is difficult to be fond of constantly practicing good dharmas.' He further asked, 'Sariputra! Is there a path, a direction, that through practice and repeated practice, one can constantly increase the practice of good dharmas?' He replied, 'Yes. It is the Noble Eightfold Path. Namely, right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.' Jambuka said, 'Sariputra! This is indeed a good path, this is indeed a good direction, through practice and repeated practice, one can constantly increase the practice of all good dharmas.'


。舍利弗!出家常修習此道,不久疾得盡諸有漏。」

時,二正士共論議已,各從座起而去。

如是比閻浮車所問序四十經。

閻浮車問舍利弗:「云何名善說法者?為世間正向。云何名為世間善逝?」

舍利弗言:「若說法調伏欲貪,調伏瞋恚,調伏愚癡,是名世間說法者。若向調伏欲貪,向調伏瞋恚,向調伏愚癡,是名正向。若貪慾已盡,無餘斷知,瞋恚、愚癡已盡,無餘斷知,是名善斷。」

復問:「舍利弗!有道有向,修習多修習,能起善斷?」

舍利弗言:「有。謂八正道——正見乃至正定。」

時,二正士共論議已,各從座起而去。

閻浮車問舍利弗:「謂涅槃者,云何為涅槃?」

舍利弗言:「涅槃者,貪慾永盡,瞋恚永盡,愚癡永盡,一切諸煩惱永盡,是名涅槃。」

復問:「舍利弗!有道有向,修習多修習,得涅槃耶?」

舍利弗言:「有。謂八正道——正見乃至正定。」

時,二正士共論議已,各從座起而去。

閻浮車問舍利弗:「何故於沙門瞿曇所出家修梵行?」

舍利弗言:「為斷貪慾故,斷瞋恚故,斷愚癡故,于沙門瞿曇所出家修梵行

現代漢語譯本:舍利弗啊!出家人如果經常修習這條道路,不久就能迅速地斷盡所有煩惱。當時,這兩位正士討論完畢后,各自從座位上起身離開了。 這是閻浮車所問的第四十經的序言。 閻浮車問舍利弗:『什麼叫做善於說法的人?什麼是世間的正向?什麼叫做世間的善逝?』 舍利弗說:『如果說法能夠調伏貪慾,調伏嗔恚,調伏愚癡,這就叫做世間的說法者。如果趨向于調伏貪慾,趨向于調伏嗔恚,趨向于調伏愚癡,這就叫做正向。如果貪慾已經完全斷盡,沒有剩餘的知見,嗔恚、愚癡也已經完全斷盡,沒有剩餘的知見,這就叫做善斷。』 又問:『舍利弗!有沒有一條道路,一個方向,通過修習和反覆修習,能夠達到善斷的境界?』 舍利弗說:『有。那就是八正道——正見乃至正定。』 當時,這兩位正士討論完畢后,各自從座位上起身離開了。 閻浮車問舍利弗:『所謂涅槃,什麼是涅槃?』 舍利弗說:『涅槃就是貪慾永遠斷盡,嗔恚永遠斷盡,愚癡永遠斷盡,一切煩惱永遠斷盡,這就叫做涅槃。』 又問:『舍利弗!有沒有一條道路,一個方向,通過修習和反覆修習,能夠達到涅槃?』 舍利弗說:『有。那就是八正道——正見乃至正定。』 當時,這兩位正士討論完畢后,各自從座位上起身離開了。 閻浮車問舍利弗:『為什麼要在沙門瞿曇那裡出家修行?』 舍利弗說:『爲了斷除貪慾,斷除嗔恚,斷除愚癡,才在沙門瞿曇那裡出家修行。』

English version: 'Sariputra! If a renunciate constantly cultivates this path, they will soon quickly eradicate all defilements.' Then, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seats and departed. This is the introduction to the fortieth sutra, as asked by Jambukha. Jambukha asked Sariputra: 'What is called a good speaker of the Dharma? What is the right direction in the world? What is called a Well-Gone One in the world?' Sariputra said: 'If the Dharma teaching can subdue greed, subdue anger, and subdue ignorance, this is called a speaker of the Dharma in the world. If one is directed towards subduing greed, directed towards subduing anger, directed towards subduing ignorance, this is called the right direction. If greed is completely eradicated, with no remaining perception, and anger and ignorance are also completely eradicated, with no remaining perception, this is called good eradication.' He further asked: 'Sariputra! Is there a path, a direction, that through cultivation and repeated cultivation, can lead to good eradication?' Sariputra said: 'Yes. It is the Noble Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' Then, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seats and departed. Jambukha asked Sariputra: 'Regarding Nirvana, what is Nirvana?' Sariputra said: 'Nirvana is the complete and eternal eradication of greed, the complete and eternal eradication of anger, the complete and eternal eradication of ignorance, and the complete and eternal eradication of all defilements. This is called Nirvana.' He further asked: 'Sariputra! Is there a path, a direction, that through cultivation and repeated cultivation, can attain Nirvana?' Sariputra said: 'Yes. It is the Noble Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' Then, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seats and departed. Jambukha asked Sariputra: 'Why do you renounce and practice the pure life under the ascetic Gautama?' Sariputra said: 'It is to eradicate greed, to eradicate anger, and to eradicate ignorance that I renounce and practice the pure life under the ascetic Gautama.'


。」

復問:「舍利弗!有道有向,修習多修習,得斷貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡耶?」

舍利弗言:「有。謂八正道——正見乃至正定。」

時,二正士共論議已,各從座起而去。

閻浮車問舍利弗:「謂有漏盡。云何名為有漏盡?」

舍利弗言:「有漏者,三有漏,謂欲有漏、有有漏、無明有漏。此三有漏,欲盡無餘,名有漏盡。」

復問:「舍利弗!有道有向,修習多修習,得漏盡耶?」

舍利弗答言:「有。謂八正道——正見乃至正定。」

時,二正士共論議已,各從座起而去。

閻浮車問舍利弗:「所謂阿羅漢者,云何名阿羅漢?」

舍利弗言:「貪慾已斷無餘,瞋恚、愚癡已斷無餘,是名阿羅漢。」

復問:「舍利弗!有道有向,修習多修習,得阿羅漢耶?」

舍利弗言:「有。謂八正道——正見乃至正定。」

時,二正士共論議已,各從座起而去。

閻浮車問舍利弗:「所謂阿羅漢者,云何名阿羅漢者?」

舍利弗言:「貪慾永盡無餘,瞋恚、愚癡永盡無餘,是名阿羅漢者。」

復問:「有道有向,修習多修習,得阿羅漢者耶?」

舍利弗言:「有。謂八正道——正見乃至正定

現代漢語譯本 然後(閻浮車)又問:『舍利弗!有沒有一條道路或方向,通過修行和反覆修習,可以斷除貪慾、嗔恚和愚癡呢?』 舍利弗回答說:『有。那就是八正道——正見乃至正定。』 當時,這兩位正士討論完畢后,各自從座位上起身離開了。 閻浮車問舍利弗:『所謂有漏盡,是什麼意思?』 舍利弗說:『有漏指的是三種有漏,即欲有漏、有有漏和無明有漏。這三種有漏,如果完全斷盡,沒有剩餘,就叫做有漏盡。』 他又問:『舍利弗!有沒有一條道路或方向,通過修行和反覆修習,可以達到漏盡呢?』 舍利弗回答說:『有。那就是八正道——正見乃至正定。』 當時,這兩位正士討論完畢后,各自從座位上起身離開了。 閻浮車問舍利弗:『所謂阿羅漢,是什麼意思?』 舍利弗說:『貪慾已經完全斷除,沒有剩餘;嗔恚和愚癡也已經完全斷除,沒有剩餘,這就叫做阿羅漢。』 他又問:『舍利弗!有沒有一條道路或方向,通過修行和反覆修習,可以成為阿羅漢呢?』 舍利弗回答說:『有。那就是八正道——正見乃至正定。』 當時,這兩位正士討論完畢后,各自從座位上起身離開了。 閻浮車問舍利弗:『所謂阿羅漢,是什麼意思?』 舍利弗說:『貪慾永遠斷盡,沒有剩餘;嗔恚和愚癡也永遠斷盡,沒有剩餘,這就叫做阿羅漢。』 他又問:『有沒有一條道路或方向,通過修行和反覆修習,可以成為阿羅漢呢?』 舍利弗回答說:『有。那就是八正道——正見乃至正定。』

English version Then (Jambucaka) asked again: 'Shariputra! Is there a path or direction that, through practice and repeated cultivation, can lead to the cessation of greed, hatred, and delusion?' Shariputra replied: 'Yes. It is the Noble Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' At that time, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seat and departed. Jambucaka asked Shariputra: 'What is meant by the extinction of outflows?' Shariputra said: 'Outflows refer to three types of outflows: the outflow of desire, the outflow of becoming, and the outflow of ignorance. When these three outflows are completely extinguished without remainder, it is called the extinction of outflows.' He asked again: 'Shariputra! Is there a path or direction that, through practice and repeated cultivation, can lead to the extinction of outflows?' Shariputra replied: 'Yes. It is the Noble Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' At that time, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seat and departed. Jambucaka asked Shariputra: 'What is meant by an Arhat?' Shariputra said: 'When greed is completely eradicated without remainder, and hatred and delusion are also completely eradicated without remainder, that is called an Arhat.' He asked again: 'Shariputra! Is there a path or direction that, through practice and repeated cultivation, can lead to becoming an Arhat?' Shariputra replied: 'Yes. It is the Noble Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' At that time, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seat and departed. Jambucaka asked Shariputra: 'What is meant by an Arhat?' Shariputra said: 'When greed is forever extinguished without remainder, and hatred and delusion are also forever extinguished without remainder, that is called an Arhat.' He asked again: 'Is there a path or direction that, through practice and repeated cultivation, can lead to becoming an Arhat?' Shariputra replied: 'Yes. It is the Noble Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.'

時,二正士共論議已,各從座起而去。

閻浮車問舍利弗:「所謂無明者,云何為無明?」

舍利弗言:「所謂無明者,於前際無知,后際無知,前、后、中際無知;佛、法、僧寶無知,苦、集、滅、道無知;善、不善、無記無知,內無知、外無知,若於彼彼事無知闇障,是名無明。」

閻浮車語舍利弗:「此是大闇積聚。」復問:「舍利弗!有道有向,修習多修習,斷無明耶?」

舍利弗言:「有。謂八正道——正見乃至正定。」

時,二正士共論議已,各從座起而去。

閻浮車復問尊者舍利弗:「所謂有漏,云何有漏?」如前說。

閻浮車問舍利弗:「所謂有,云何為有?」

舍利弗言:「有謂三有——欲有、色有、無色有。」

復問:「舍利弗!有道有向,修習多修習,斷此有耶?」

舍利弗言:「有。謂八正道——正見乃至正定。」

時,二正士共論議已,各從座起而去。

閻浮車問舍利弗:「所謂有身,云何有身?」

舍利弗言:「有身者,五受陰。云何五受陰?謂色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。」

復問:「舍利弗!有道有向,斷此有身耶?」

舍利弗言:「有

現代漢語譯本 當時,兩位正士討論完畢,各自從座位起身離去。 閻浮車問舍利弗:『所謂的無明,什麼是無明?』 舍利弗說:『所謂的無明,是對過去無知,對未來無知,對過去、未來、現在都無知;對佛、法、僧三寶無知,對苦、集、滅、道四諦無知;對善、不善、無記無知,對內無知、對外無知,如果對這些事情無知而有障礙,就叫做無明。』 閻浮車對舍利弗說:『這是大黑暗的聚集。』又問:『舍利弗!有沒有道路和方向,通過修行和反覆修行,可以斷除無明呢?』 舍利弗說:『有。就是八正道——正見乃至正定。』 當時,兩位正士討論完畢,各自從座位起身離去。 閻浮車又問尊者舍利弗:『所謂的有漏,什麼是漏?』(內容如前所述) 閻浮車問舍利弗:『所謂的有,什麼是存在?』 舍利弗說:『所謂的存在是指三種存在——欲界的存在、色界的存在、無色界的存在。』 又問:『舍利弗!有沒有道路和方向,通過修行和反覆修行,可以斷除這種存在呢?』 舍利弗說:『有。就是八正道——正見乃至正定。』 當時,兩位正士討論完畢,各自從座位起身離去。 閻浮車問舍利弗:『所謂的有身,什麼是有身?』 舍利弗說:『有身是指五受陰。什麼是五受陰?就是色受陰,受、想、行、識受陰。』 又問:『舍利弗!有沒有道路和方向,可以斷除這種有身呢?』 舍利弗說:『有』

English version At that time, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seat and departed. Yambuvana asked Sariputra, 'What is meant by ignorance? What is ignorance?' Sariputra said, 'What is meant by ignorance is not knowing the past, not knowing the future, not knowing the past, future, and present; not knowing the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha; not knowing suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path; not knowing good, bad, and neutral; not knowing the internal, not knowing the external. If there is ignorance and obstruction regarding these matters, it is called ignorance.' Yambuvana said to Sariputra, 'This is a great accumulation of darkness.' He further asked, 'Sariputra! Is there a path and direction, through practice and repeated practice, to eliminate ignorance?' Sariputra said, 'Yes. It is the Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' At that time, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seat and departed. Yambuvana again asked the venerable Sariputra, 'What is meant by defilement? What is defilement?' (as previously stated). Yambuvana asked Sariputra, 'What is meant by existence? What is existence?' Sariputra said, 'Existence refers to the three realms of existence—the realm of desire, the realm of form, and the formless realm.' He further asked, 'Sariputra! Is there a path and direction, through practice and repeated practice, to eliminate this existence?' Sariputra said, 'Yes. It is the Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' At that time, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seat and departed. Yambuvana asked Sariputra, 'What is meant by having a body? What is having a body?' Sariputra said, 'Having a body refers to the five aggregates of clinging. What are the five aggregates of clinging? They are the aggregate of form, the aggregates of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness.' He further asked, 'Sariputra! Is there a path and direction to eliminate this having a body?' Sariputra said, 'Yes.'


。謂八正道——正見乃至正定。」

時,二正士共論議已,各從座起而去。

閻浮車問舍利弗:「所謂苦者。云何為苦?」

舍利弗言:「苦者,謂生苦、老苦、病苦、死苦、恩愛別離苦、怨憎會苦、所求不得苦。略說五受陰苦,是名為苦。」

復問:「舍利弗!有道有向,斷此苦耶?」

舍利弗言:「有。謂八正道——正見乃至正定。」

時,二正士共論議已,各從座起而去。

English version: 'The so-called Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' Then, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seat and departed. Jambucakra asked Sariputra, 'What is meant by suffering? What is suffering?' Sariputra said, 'Suffering refers to the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of sickness, the suffering of death, the suffering of separation from loved ones, the suffering of encountering those one dislikes, and the suffering of not getting what one desires. Briefly speaking, the suffering of the five aggregates of clinging is called suffering.' He asked again, 'Sariputra! Is there a path and direction to end this suffering?' Sariputra said, 'Yes. It is the Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' Then, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seat and departed. Jambucakra asked Sariputra, 'What is meant by the flow? What is the flow?' Sariputra said, 'The flow refers to the flow of desire, the flow of existence, the flow of views, and the flow of ignorance.' He asked again, 'Sariputra! Is there a path and direction, through practice and repeated practice, to end this flow?' Sariputra said, 'Yes. It is the Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' Then, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seat and departed. Jambucakra asked Sariputra, 'What is meant by the fetter? What is the fetter?' The explanation of fetter is like the explanation of flow. Jambucakra asked Sariputra, 'What is meant by grasping? What is grasping?' Sariputra said, 'Grasping is of four kinds, referring to grasping of desire, grasping of self, grasping of views, and grasping of precepts.' He asked again, 'Sariputra! Is there a path and direction, through practice and repeated practice, to end this grasping?' Sariputra said, 'Yes. It is the Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' Then, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seat and departed. Jambucakra asked Sariputra, 'What is meant by bondage? What is bondage?'

English version 'What is a bond?' Sariputra replied, 'Bonds are four: the bond of desire, the bond of anger, the bond of attachment to rules and rituals, and the bond of self-view.' He further asked, 'Sariputra! Is there a path or direction, that through practice and repeated cultivation, can break these bonds?' Sariputra replied, 'Yes. It is the Noble Eightfold Path: right view, and so on, up to right concentration.' Then, the two righteous men, having finished their discussion, each rose from their seats and departed. Yambucara asked Sariputra, 'What is meant by a fetter? What is a fetter?' Sariputra replied, 'Fetter are nine: the fetter of love, the fetter of hatred, the fetter of pride, the fetter of ignorance, the fetter of views, the fetter of attachment to others, the fetter of doubt, the fetter of jealousy, and the fetter of stinginess.'

Also, the sounds heard by the ear, the smells smelled by the nose, the tastes tasted by the tongue, and the touches felt by the body, these lovely, pleasurable, and memorable things, and the attachment to these touches.'


。閻浮車!此功德非欲,但覺想思惟者。」是時,舍利弗即說偈言:

「非彼愛慾使,  世間種種色,  唯有覺想者,  是則士夫欲。  彼諸種種色,  常在於世間,  調伏愛慾心,  是則黠慧者。」

English version: 'Yambucakra! This merit is not from desire, but from those who perceive and contemplate.' At that time, Sariputra spoke in verse: 'The various colors of the world are not caused by lust, only those who cling to perception and thought generate desire. Those various things always exist in the world, and those who can subdue the mind of lust are truly wise.' Yambucakra further asked: 'Sariputra, is there a path or direction that, through practice and repeated cultivation, can eliminate this desire?' Sariputra replied: 'Yes.

如穢,如是垢、膩、刺、戀、縛亦爾。

(四九一)

如閻浮車所問經,沙門出家所問亦如是。

(四九二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,尊者舍利弗亦在彼住。

時,尊者舍利弗語諸比丘:「若有比丘得無量三昧,身作證具足住,于有身滅涅槃心不樂著,顧念有身

然後(閻浮車)又問:『有道路和方向可以斷除這三種愛嗎?』 舍利弗回答說:『有。那就是八正道——正見乃至正定。』 當時,兩位正士討論完畢,各自從座位起身離去。 閻浮車問舍利弗:『所謂業跡,什麼是業跡?』 舍利弗回答說:『業跡是指十不善業跡,即殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語、兩舌、惡口、綺語、貪慾、瞋恚、邪見。』 又問:『舍利弗!有道路和方向可以斷除這十種業跡嗎?』 舍利弗回答說:『有。那就是八正道——正見乃至正定。』 當時,兩位正士討論完畢,各自從座位起身離去。 閻浮車問舍利弗:『所謂穢,什麼是穢?』 舍利弗回答說:『穢是指三種穢,即貪慾穢、瞋恚穢、愚癡穢。』 又問:『舍利弗!有道路和方向可以斷除這三種穢嗎?』 舍利弗回答說:『有。那就是八正道——正見乃至正定。』 當時,兩位正士討論完畢,各自從座位起身離去。 如同穢一樣,垢、膩、刺、戀、縛也是如此。 (四九一) 如同閻浮車所問的經文,沙門出家所問的也一樣。 (四九二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,尊者舍利弗也住在那裡。 當時,尊者舍利弗對比丘們說:『如果有比丘獲得無量三昧,以身體證悟並安住,對於有身滅的涅槃心不執著,卻顧念有身。』

Then (Jambucaka) asked again: 'Is there a path and direction to cut off these three loves?' Sariputra replied: 'Yes. It is the Noble Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' At that time, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seat and left. Jambucaka asked Sariputra: 'What is meant by 'kamma-patha'? What is a kamma-patha?' Sariputra replied: 'Kamma-patha refers to the ten unwholesome kamma-pathas, namely, killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, false speech, divisive speech, harsh speech, idle chatter, greed, hatred, and wrong view.' He asked again: 'Sariputra! Is there a path and direction to cut off these ten kamma-pathas?' Sariputra replied: 'Yes. It is the Noble Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' At that time, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seat and left. Jambucaka asked Sariputra: 'What is meant by 'defilement'? What is defilement?' Sariputra replied: 'Defilement refers to the three defilements, namely, the defilement of greed, the defilement of hatred, and the defilement of delusion.' He asked again: 'Sariputra! Is there a path and direction to cut off these three defilements?' Sariputra replied: 'Yes. It is the Noble Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' At that time, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seat and left. Like defilement, so are impurity, stickiness, thorn, attachment, and bondage. (491) As the sutra asked by Jambucaka, so is the question asked by the monk who has left home. (492) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, the Venerable Sariputra was also staying there. At that time, the Venerable Sariputra said to the monks: 'If there is a monk who has attained immeasurable samadhi, dwells with the body as a witness, and is not attached to the Nirvana of the cessation of the body, but is mindful of the body.'


。譬如士夫膠著于手,以執樹枝,手即著樹,不能得離。所以者何?膠著手故。比丘!無量三摩提身作證,心不樂著有身滅涅槃,顧念有身,終不得離,不得現法隨順法教,乃至命終,亦無所得,還復來生此界,終不能得破于癡冥。譬如聚落傍有泥池,泥極深溺,久旱不雨,池水乾消,其地破裂。如是,比丘!不得見法隨順法教,乃至命終,亦無所得,來生當復還墮此界。

「若有比丘得無量三昧,身作證具足住,于有身滅涅槃心生信樂,不念有身。譬如士夫以乾淨手執持樹枝,手不著樹。所以者何?以手凈故。如是,比丘!得無量三昧,身作證具足住,于有識滅涅槃心生信樂,不念有身,現法隨順法教,乃至命終,不復來還生於此界。是故,比丘!當勤方便,破壞無明。譬如聚落傍有泥池,四方流水及數天雨,水常入池,其水盈溢,穢惡流出,其池清凈。如是皆得現法隨順法教,乃至命終,不復還生此界。是故,比丘!當勤方便,破壞無明。」

尊者舍利弗說此經已,諸比丘聞其所說,歡喜奉行。

(四九三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本:例如,一個士人如果用膠粘住了手,再去拿樹枝,他的手就粘在樹枝上,無法離開。這是為什麼呢?因為他的手被膠粘住了。比丘們!如果有人證得了無量的三摩地,卻不樂於捨棄有身的涅槃,仍然顧念著這個身體,最終也無法脫離,無法在今生就遵循佛法教導,甚至到死也沒有任何收穫,還會再次投生到這個世界,最終也無法破除愚癡的黑暗。就像村落旁邊有一個泥潭,泥潭很深,如果長期乾旱不下雨,池水就會乾涸消失,地面也會裂開。同樣,比丘們!如果不能遵循佛法教導,甚至到死也沒有任何收穫,來世還會再次墮落到這個世界。 現代漢語譯本:如果一個比丘證得了無量的三摩地,並且以身體力行地安住其中,他樂於捨棄有身的涅槃,不再執著于這個身體。就像一個士人,用乾淨的手去拿樹枝,他的手不會粘在樹枝上。這是為什麼呢?因為他的手是乾淨的。同樣,比丘們!如果證得了無量的三摩地,並且以身體力行地安住其中,他樂於捨棄有身的涅槃,不再執著于這個身體,就能在今生遵循佛法教導,甚至到死也不會再回到這個世界。因此,比丘們!應當勤奮努力,破除無明。就像村落旁邊有一個泥潭,四面八方的流水和多次的降雨,水不斷流入池中,池水就會滿溢,污穢的泥水就會流出,池塘就會變得清澈。同樣,如果能夠遵循佛法教導,甚至到死也不會再回到這個世界。因此,比丘們!應當勤奮努力,破除無明。 現代漢語譯本:尊者舍利弗說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了之後,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 現代漢語譯本:(四九三) 現代漢語譯本:我是這樣聽說的: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

English version: For example, if a person's hand is stuck with glue, and he then tries to grasp a tree branch, his hand will stick to the branch and he will not be able to detach it. Why is this so? Because his hand is stuck with glue. Monks! If someone has attained immeasurable samadhi, but does not delight in the cessation of existence in nirvana, and still clings to the body, he will ultimately not be able to detach himself, will not be able to follow the Dharma teachings in this life, and even at death will gain nothing, and will be reborn into this world again, ultimately unable to break through the darkness of ignorance. It is like a mud pond near a village, the mud is very deep, and if there is a long drought without rain, the pond will dry up and disappear, and the ground will crack. Likewise, monks! If one cannot follow the Dharma teachings, and even at death gains nothing, in the next life one will fall back into this world. English version: If a monk has attained immeasurable samadhi, and dwells in it with bodily realization, he delights in the cessation of existence in nirvana, and no longer clings to the body. It is like a person who uses a clean hand to grasp a tree branch, his hand will not stick to the branch. Why is this so? Because his hand is clean. Likewise, monks! If one has attained immeasurable samadhi, and dwells in it with bodily realization, he delights in the cessation of existence in nirvana, and no longer clings to the body, he will be able to follow the Dharma teachings in this life, and even at death will not return to this world again. Therefore, monks! You should strive diligently to break through ignorance. It is like a mud pond near a village, with water flowing in from all directions and multiple rains, the water constantly flows into the pond, the pond will overflow, the dirty mud water will flow out, and the pond will become clear. Likewise, if one can follow the Dharma teachings, even at death one will not return to this world again. Therefore, monks! You should strive diligently to break through ignorance. English version: After Venerable Sariputra finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what he said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. English version: (493) English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.


時,尊者舍利弗告諸比丘:「若阿練若比丘或於空地、林中、樹下,當作是學,內自觀察思惟:『心中自覺有欲想不?』若不覺者,當於境界,或於凈相,若愛慾起,違于遠離。譬如士夫用力乘船,逆流而上,身小疲怠,船則倒還,順流而下。如是,比丘!思惟凈想,還生愛慾,違于遠離;是比丘學時,修下方便,不得淳凈,是故還為愛慾所漂,不得法力,心不寂靜,不一其心,于彼凈相隨生愛慾,流注浚輸,違于遠離。當知是比丘不敢自記,於五欲功德離欲解脫。

「若比丘或於空地、林中、樹下,作是思惟:『我內心中為離欲不?』是比丘當於境界,或取凈相,若覺其心於彼遠離,順趣浚注。譬如鳥翮,入火則卷,不可舒展。如是,比丘或取凈相,即順遠離,流注浚輸。比丘!當如是知,于方便行,心不懈怠,得法寂靜,寂止、息、樂,淳凈一心,謂我思惟已,于凈相順於遠離,隨順修道,則能堪任自記,於五欲功德離欲解脫。」

尊者舍利弗說是經已,諸比丘聞其所說,歡喜奉行。

(四九四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。尊者舍利弗在耆阇崛山中

現代漢語譯本: 當時,尊者舍利弗告訴眾比丘:『如果阿蘭若比丘在空地、樹林或樹下,應當這樣學習,內心自我觀察思考:』心中自覺有慾望的想法嗎?『如果感覺沒有,當面對境界,或者面對清凈的景象,如果愛慾生起,就違背了遠離。譬如一個男子用力劃船,逆流而上,身體稍微疲憊,船就會倒退,順流而下。』同樣,比丘!如果思惟清凈的景象,反而生起愛慾,就違背了遠離;這樣的比丘在學習時,修習的是低劣的方法,不能達到純凈,因此又被愛慾所牽引,得不到法的力量,內心不能寂靜,不能一心專注,對於清凈的景象反而隨之生起愛慾,像水流一樣奔涌,違背了遠離。應當知道這樣的比丘不敢自己記述,自己已經從五欲的功德中解脫出來。』 『如果比丘在空地、樹林或樹下,這樣思考:』我內心是否已經遠離慾望?『這個比丘當面對境界,或者取清凈的景象,如果感覺內心對於這些已經遠離,順著遠離的方向奔涌。譬如鳥的羽毛,進入火中就會捲曲,不能舒展開來。』同樣,比丘如果取清凈的景象,就順著遠離的方向,像水流一樣奔涌。比丘!應當這樣知道,在方便的修行中,內心不懈怠,得到法的寂靜,寂止、安息、快樂,純凈一心,也就是說,我思考之後,對於清凈的景象順著遠離的方向,隨順修道,就能自己記述,自己已經從五欲的功德中解脫出來。』 尊者舍利弗說完這部經,眾比丘聽了之後,歡喜地奉行。 (四九四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。尊者舍利弗在耆阇崛山中。

English version: At that time, the venerable Sariputra addressed the monks, saying: 'If a forest-dwelling monk, in an empty place, in a forest, or under a tree, should practice thus, observing and contemplating within himself: 'Does my mind feel the presence of desire?' If he does not feel it, then when facing an object, or a pure image, if lust arises, it is contrary to detachment. It is like a man who exerts himself to row a boat upstream, and when his body is slightly tired, the boat will turn back and go downstream. Likewise, monks! If one contemplates a pure image and lust arises, it is contrary to detachment; such a monk, when learning, practices inferior methods, cannot achieve purity, and is therefore carried away by lust, unable to gain the power of the Dharma, his mind is not tranquil, he cannot focus his mind, and towards the pure image, lust arises, flowing and rushing, contrary to detachment. It should be known that such a monk dares not declare that he has attained liberation from the merits of the five desires.' 'If a monk, in an empty place, in a forest, or under a tree, thinks thus: 'Is my mind free from desire?' This monk, when facing an object, or taking a pure image, if he feels that his mind is detached from them, flows and rushes towards detachment. It is like a bird's feather, which, when put into fire, will curl up and cannot be stretched out. Likewise, monks, if one takes a pure image, he will immediately flow and rush towards detachment. Monks! You should know this, in the practice of skillful means, the mind is not lazy, one obtains the tranquility of the Dharma, tranquility, rest, joy, pure one-pointedness of mind, that is to say, after I have contemplated, towards the pure image, I follow the direction of detachment, and by following the path of practice, I can declare that I have attained liberation from the merits of the five desires.' After the venerable Sariputra had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what he said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (494) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. The venerable Sariputra was on Mount Gijjhakuta.


爾時,尊者舍利弗晨朝著衣持缽,出耆阇崛山,入王舍城乞食,于路邊見一大枯樹,即于樹下敷坐具,𣫍身正坐,語諸比丘:「若有比丘修習禪思,得神通力,心得自在,欲令此枯樹成地,即時為地。所以者何?謂此枯樹中有地界。是故,比丘得神通力,心作地解,即成地不異。

「若有比丘得神通力,自在如意,欲令此樹為水、火、風、金、銀等物,悉皆成就不異。所以者何?謂此枯樹有水界故。是故,比丘!禪思得神通力,自在如意,欲令枯樹成金,即時成金不異,及餘種種諸物,悉成不異。所以者何?以彼枯樹有種種界故。是故,比丘!禪思得神通力,自在如意,為種種物悉成不異,比丘當知,比丘禪思神通境界不可思議。是故,比丘!當勤禪思,學諸神通。」

舍利弗說是經已,諸比丘聞其所說,歡喜奉行。

(四九五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。時,尊者舍利弗在耆阇崛山中。

爾時,尊者舍利弗告諸比丘:「其犯戒者,以破戒故,所依退減,心不樂住;不樂住已,失喜、息、樂、寂靜三昧、如實知見、厭離、離欲、解脫已,永不能得無餘涅槃。如樹根壞,枝葉華果悉不成就,犯戒比丘亦復如是

現代漢語譯本 當時,尊者舍利弗早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,從耆阇崛山出來,進入王舍城乞食。在路邊,他看到一棵巨大的枯樹,便在樹下鋪好坐具,端身正坐,對眾比丘說:『如果有比丘修習禪定,獲得神通力,心意自在,想要讓這棵枯樹變成土地,立刻就能變成土地。這是為什麼呢?因為這棵枯樹中含有地界。所以,比丘獲得神通力,心中想著土地,它就會變成土地,沒有差別。』 『如果有比丘獲得神通力,自在如意,想要讓這棵樹變成水、火、風、金、銀等物,都能成功,沒有差別。這是為什麼呢?因為這棵枯樹含有水界。所以,比丘們!禪定修習獲得神通力,自在如意,想要讓枯樹變成金子,立刻就能變成金子,沒有差別,以及其他各種事物,都能變成,沒有差別。這是為什麼呢?因為那棵枯樹含有各種界。所以,比丘們!禪定修習獲得神通力,自在如意,能讓各種事物都變成,沒有差別。比丘們應當知道,比丘禪定神通的境界是不可思議的。所以,比丘們!應當勤奮禪定,學習各種神通。』 舍利弗說完這部經,眾比丘聽了他所說的,歡喜地奉行。

(四九五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,尊者舍利弗在耆阇崛山中。

當時,尊者舍利弗告訴眾比丘:『那些犯戒的人,因為破戒的緣故,所依靠的修行會退減,內心不能安住;不能安住之後,就會失去喜悅、止息、快樂、寂靜三昧、如實知見、厭離、離欲、解脫,最終不能獲得無餘涅槃。就像樹根壞了,枝葉花果都不能生長一樣,犯戒的比丘也是如此。』

English version At that time, the venerable Sariputra, having dressed in the morning and taken his bowl, went out from Mount Gijjhakuta to the city of Rajagaha to beg for alms. On the roadside, he saw a large withered tree. He then spread out his sitting mat under the tree, sat upright, and said to the monks: 'If a monk cultivates meditation, attains supernatural powers, and has freedom of mind, and wishes to turn this withered tree into earth, it will immediately become earth. Why is that? Because this withered tree contains the earth element. Therefore, a monk who has attained supernatural powers, and whose mind conceives of earth, it will become earth, without any difference.' 'If a monk has attained supernatural powers, and is free and at ease, and wishes to turn this tree into water, fire, wind, gold, silver, etc., it will all be accomplished without any difference. Why is that? Because this withered tree contains the water element. Therefore, monks! Through meditation, one attains supernatural powers, and is free and at ease. If one wishes to turn the withered tree into gold, it will immediately become gold, without any difference, and the same goes for all other things. Why is that? Because that withered tree contains all kinds of elements. Therefore, monks! Through meditation, one attains supernatural powers, and is free and at ease, and can transform all kinds of things without any difference. Monks should know that the realm of a monk's meditation and supernatural powers is inconceivable. Therefore, monks! You should diligently meditate and learn all kinds of supernatural powers.' After Sariputra finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what he said, joyfully practiced it.

(495)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, the venerable Sariputra was on Mount Gijjhakuta.

At that time, the venerable Sariputra told the monks: 'Those who break the precepts, because of their transgression, their reliance on practice diminishes, and their minds cannot dwell in peace; having lost peace, they lose joy, tranquility, happiness, serene samadhi, true knowledge and vision, aversion, detachment, and liberation, and ultimately cannot attain complete Nirvana. Just as when the root of a tree is damaged, the branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits cannot grow, so too is it with a monk who breaks the precepts.'


。功德退減,心不樂住,不信樂已,失喜、息、樂、寂靜三昧、如實知見、厭離、離欲、解脫,失解脫已,永不能得無餘涅槃。

「持戒比丘根本具足,所依具足,心得信樂;得信樂已,心得歡喜、息、樂、寂靜三昧、如實知見、厭離、離欲、解脫;得解脫已,悉能疾得無餘涅槃。譬如樹根不壞,枝葉華果悉得成就,持戒比丘亦復如是。根本具足,所依成就,心得信樂,得信樂已,歡喜、息、樂、寂靜三昧、如實知見、厭離、離欲、解脫,疾得無餘涅槃。」

尊者舍利弗說是經已,諸比丘聞其所說,歡喜奉行。

(四九六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,舍利弗告諸比丘:「若諸比丘諍起相言,有犯罪比丘、舉罪比丘。彼若不依正思惟自省察者,當知彼比丘長夜強梁,諍訟轉增,共相違反,結恨彌深,于所起之罪,不能以正法、律止令休息。若比丘有此已起諍訟,若犯罪比丘、若舉罪比丘!俱依正思惟自省察克責,當知彼比丘不長夜強梁,共相違反,結恨轉增,于所起之罪,能以法、律止令休息

現代漢語譯本:功德會逐漸減少,內心無法安住,不信奉佛法后,會失去喜悅、平靜、快樂、寂靜三昧、如實知見、厭離、離欲、解脫。失去解脫后,將永遠無法證得無餘涅槃。 持戒的比丘如果根本具足,所依具足,內心就會信奉佛法;信奉佛法后,內心就會歡喜、平靜、快樂、寂靜三昧、如實知見、厭離、離欲、解脫;得到解脫后,就能迅速證得無餘涅槃。就像樹根沒有損壞,枝葉花果都能生長茂盛一樣,持戒的比丘也是如此。根本具足,所依成就,內心信奉佛法,信奉佛法后,就會歡喜、平靜、快樂、寂靜三昧、如實知見、厭離、離欲、解脫,迅速證得無餘涅槃。 尊者舍利弗說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了之後,都歡喜地奉行。 (四九六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,舍利弗告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘之間發生爭執,有犯戒的比丘和舉罪的比丘。如果他們不依正思惟自我反省,那麼要知道這些比丘會長期剛強,爭訟會不斷增加,互相違背,結下的怨恨會越來越深,對於所犯的罪過,不能用正法和戒律來制止,使其平息。如果比丘之間已經發生爭執,無論是犯戒的比丘還是舉罪的比丘,都能依正思惟自我反省並自我責備,那麼要知道這些比丘不會長期剛強,互相違背,結下的怨恨也不會增加,對於所犯的罪過,能用佛法和戒律來制止,使其平息。』

English version: Merits will diminish, the mind will not be able to settle, and after not believing in the Dharma, one will lose joy, tranquility, happiness, the samadhi of stillness, true knowledge and insight, aversion, detachment, and liberation. Having lost liberation, one will never be able to attain complete Nirvana. If a monk who upholds the precepts is fundamentally complete and has the necessary support, his mind will believe in the Dharma; after believing in the Dharma, his mind will be joyful, tranquil, happy, in the samadhi of stillness, have true knowledge and insight, aversion, detachment, and liberation; after attaining liberation, he will quickly attain complete Nirvana. Just as if the roots of a tree are not damaged, the branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits can all grow luxuriantly, so it is with a monk who upholds the precepts. Being fundamentally complete and having the necessary support, his mind will believe in the Dharma, and after believing in the Dharma, he will be joyful, tranquil, happy, in the samadhi of stillness, have true knowledge and insight, aversion, detachment, and liberation, and quickly attain complete Nirvana. After the Venerable Sariputra finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard it, joyfully practiced it. (496) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, Sariputra told the monks: 'If disputes arise among monks, with some monks having committed offenses and others accusing them, if they do not reflect on themselves with right mindfulness, then know that these monks will be obstinate for a long time, the disputes will increase, they will contradict each other, and the resentment they harbor will deepen. They will not be able to use the Dharma and the precepts to stop the offenses that have arisen and bring them to rest. If disputes have already arisen among monks, whether it is the monk who committed the offense or the monk who is accusing, if both can reflect on themselves with right mindfulness and self-reproach, then know that these monks will not be obstinate for a long time, they will not contradict each other, and the resentment they harbor will not increase. They will be able to use the Dharma and the precepts to stop the offenses that have arisen and bring them to rest.'


「云何比丘正思惟自省察?比丘應如是思惟:『我不是、不類、不應作罪,令彼見我;若我不為此罪,彼則不見,以彼見我罪,不喜嫌責,故舉之耳。余比丘聞者,亦當嫌責,是故長夜諍訟,強梁轉增,諍訟相言,于所起之罪,不能以正法、律止令休息,我今自知,如己輸稅。』是名比丘于所起罪能自觀察。

「云何舉罪比丘能自省察?舉罪比丘應如是念:『彼長老比丘作不類罪,令我見之,若彼不作此不類罪者,我則不見。我見其罪,不喜故舉,余比丘見,亦當不喜故舉之,長夜諍訟,轉增不息,不能以正法、律止所起罪,令其休息。我從今日,當自去之,如己輸稅。』如是舉罪比丘善能依正思惟,內自觀察。

「是故,諸比丘有罪及舉罪者,當依正思惟,而自觀察,不令長夜強梁增長。諸比丘!得不諍訟,所起之諍,能以法、律止令休息。」

尊者舍利弗說是經已,諸比丘聞已,歡喜奉行。

(四九七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者舍利弗詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!若舉罪比丘欲舉他罪者,令心安住,幾法得舉他罪?」

佛告舍利弗:「若比丘令心安住,五法得舉他罪

現代漢語譯本: 『比丘如何正確地思考和自我反省呢?比丘應當這樣思考:『我不應該做、不應該像、不應該犯下罪行,讓別人看到我這樣做;如果我不犯這個罪,別人就不會看到,因為他們看到我犯了罪,會不高興並責備我,所以才會指出我的錯誤。其他比丘聽到了,也會責備我,因此長久地爭論,矛盾會不斷加劇,爭吵不休,對於所犯的罪行,不能用正法和戒律來制止,使其平息,我現在自己明白,就像自己繳納稅款一樣。』這叫做比丘對於自己所犯的罪行能夠自我反省。 『那麼,舉罪的比丘如何自我反省呢?舉罪的比丘應當這樣想:『那位長老比丘做了不應該做的罪行,讓我看到了,如果他不做這個不應該做的罪行,我就不會看到。我看到他的罪行,因為不高興所以才指出,其他比丘看到了,也會因為不高興而指出,長久地爭論,矛盾會不斷加劇,不能用正法和戒律來制止所犯的罪行,使其平息。我從今天開始,應當自己改正,就像自己繳納稅款一樣。』這樣,舉罪的比丘就能夠很好地依據正理思考,進行自我反省。 『所以,各位比丘,無論是犯了罪的比丘還是舉罪的比丘,都應當依據正理思考,進行自我反省,不要讓長久的矛盾不斷加劇。各位比丘!要做到不爭吵,對於所發生的爭吵,能夠用佛法和戒律來制止,使其平息。』 尊者舍利弗說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 (四九七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者舍利弗來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀頂禮,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!如果舉罪的比丘想要指出別人的罪行,爲了使內心安定,需要具備幾種條件才能指出別人的罪行?』 佛陀告訴舍利弗:『如果比丘爲了使內心安定,需要具備五種條件才能指出別人的罪行。』

English version: 'How does a bhikkhu correctly contemplate and self-reflect? A bhikkhu should contemplate thus: 'I should not do, be like, or commit a sin that others would see me doing; if I did not commit this sin, others would not see it, because they see me committing a sin, they would be displeased and blame me, and thus point out my fault. Other bhikkhus who hear of it will also blame me, and therefore there will be long-lasting disputes, conflicts will increase, and there will be endless arguments. Regarding the sin committed, it cannot be stopped and calmed by the Dharma and the Vinaya. I now understand this myself, as if I were paying my own taxes.' This is called a bhikkhu being able to self-reflect on the sins he has committed. 'Now, how does a bhikkhu who accuses others self-reflect? A bhikkhu who accuses others should think thus: 'That elder bhikkhu committed an inappropriate sin, which I saw. If he had not committed this inappropriate sin, I would not have seen it. I saw his sin, and because I was displeased, I pointed it out. Other bhikkhus who see it will also point it out because they are displeased. Long-lasting disputes will increase without ceasing, and the sin committed cannot be stopped and calmed by the Dharma and the Vinaya. From today onwards, I should correct myself, as if I were paying my own taxes.' In this way, a bhikkhu who accuses others can think correctly and self-reflect. 'Therefore, bhikkhus, whether you are a bhikkhu who has committed a sin or a bhikkhu who accuses others, you should contemplate correctly and self-reflect, and not let long-lasting conflicts increase. Bhikkhus! You should strive to avoid disputes, and when disputes arise, you should be able to stop and calm them with the Dharma and the Vinaya.' After Venerable Sariputta finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard it, joyfully accepted and practiced it. (497) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, Venerable Sariputta went to the Buddha's dwelling, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, if a bhikkhu who accuses others wants to point out the faults of others, how many conditions must he fulfill to have a peaceful mind when accusing others?' The Buddha told Sariputta, 'If a bhikkhu wants to have a peaceful mind, he must fulfill five conditions to point out the faults of others.'


。云何為五?實非不實、時不非時、義饒益非非義饒益、柔軟不粗澀、慈心不瞋恚。舍利弗!舉罪比丘具此五法,得舉他罪。」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!被舉比丘復以幾法自安其心?」

佛告舍利弗:「被舉比丘當以五法令安其心。念言:『彼何處得,為實莫令不實,令時莫令非時,令是義饒益莫令非義饒益,柔軟莫令粗澀,慈心莫令瞋恚。』舍利弗!被舉比丘當具此五法,自安其心。」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!我見舉他罪者,不實非實、非時非是時、非義饒益非為義饒益、粗澀不柔軟、瞋恚非慈心。世尊!于不實舉他罪比丘,當以幾法饒益令其改悔?」

佛告舍利弗:「不實舉罪比丘當以五法饒益令其改悔,當語之言:『長老!汝今舉罪,不實非是實,當改悔;不時非是時、非義饒益非是義饒益、粗澀非柔軟、瞋恚非慈心,汝當改悔。』舍利弗!不實舉他罪比丘當以此五法饒益令其改悔,亦令當來世比丘不為不實舉他罪。」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!被不實舉罪比丘復以幾法令不變悔?」

佛告舍利弗:「被不實舉罪比丘當以五法不自變悔。彼應作是念:『彼比丘不實舉罪非是實、非時非是時、非義饒益非是義饒益、粗澀非柔軟、瞋恚非慈心,我真不變悔

現代漢語譯本:什麼是五種情況呢?真實與不真實、時宜與不時宜、有益與無益、柔和與粗糙、慈悲與嗔恚。舍利弗,如果一位指責他人過錯的比丘具備這五種品質,他就可以指責他人的過錯。 舍利弗問佛陀:『世尊,被指責的比丘又該如何以幾種方法來安定自己的心呢?』 佛陀告訴舍利弗:『被指責的比丘應當以五種方法來安定自己的心。他應當這樣想:』那個人是從哪裡得到的(指責的依據)?要真實,不要不真實;要時宜,不要不時宜;要有益,不要無益;要柔和,不要粗糙;要慈悲,不要嗔恚。『舍利弗,被指責的比丘應當具備這五種品質,來安定自己的心。』 舍利弗對佛陀說:『世尊,我看到指責他人過錯的人,不真實、不時宜、無益、粗糙、嗔恚。世尊,對於不真實地指責他人過錯的比丘,應當用幾種方法來幫助他改正錯誤呢?』 佛陀告訴舍利弗:『對於不真實地指責他人過錯的比丘,應當用五種方法來幫助他改正錯誤,應當告訴他說:』長老,你現在指責他人過錯,不真實,不是真實的;不時宜,不是時宜的;無益,不是有益的;粗糙,不是柔和的;嗔恚,不是慈悲的,你應當改正錯誤。『舍利弗,對於不真實地指責他人過錯的比丘,應當用這五種方法來幫助他改正錯誤,也讓未來的比丘不要不真實地指責他人過錯。』 舍利弗問佛陀:『世尊,被不真實地指責過錯的比丘又該如何以幾種方法來不改變悔恨呢?』 佛陀告訴舍利弗:『被不真實地指責過錯的比丘應當以五種方法不自我改變悔恨。他應當這樣想:』那個比丘不真實地指責過錯,不是真實的;不時宜,不是時宜的;無益,不是有益的;粗糙,不是柔和的;嗔恚,不是慈悲的,我真的不改變悔恨。』

English version: What are the five? Truth and untruth, timeliness and untimeliness, beneficial and unbeneficial, gentleness and harshness, loving-kindness and anger. Shariputra, a monk who accuses another of wrongdoing, if he possesses these five qualities, he may accuse others of wrongdoing. Shariputra asked the Buddha: 'World Honored One, how many ways should a monk who is accused use to calm his mind?' The Buddha told Shariputra: 'A monk who is accused should use five ways to calm his mind. He should think: 'Where did that person get (the basis for the accusation)? It should be true, not untrue; it should be timely, not untimely; it should be beneficial, not unbeneficial; it should be gentle, not harsh; it should be loving-kindness, not anger.' Shariputra, a monk who is accused should possess these five qualities to calm his mind.' Shariputra said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, I see that those who accuse others of wrongdoing are untrue, untimely, unbeneficial, harsh, and angry. World Honored One, how many ways should be used to help a monk who falsely accuses others of wrongdoing to correct his mistakes?' The Buddha told Shariputra: 'For a monk who falsely accuses others of wrongdoing, five ways should be used to help him correct his mistakes. He should be told: 'Elder, you are now accusing others of wrongdoing, it is untrue, not true; untimely, not timely; unbeneficial, not beneficial; harsh, not gentle; angry, not loving-kindness, you should correct your mistakes.' Shariputra, for a monk who falsely accuses others of wrongdoing, these five ways should be used to help him correct his mistakes, and also to prevent future monks from falsely accusing others of wrongdoing.' Shariputra asked the Buddha: 'World Honored One, how many ways should a monk who is falsely accused use to not change his repentance?' The Buddha told Shariputra: 'A monk who is falsely accused should use five ways to not change his repentance. He should think: 'That monk falsely accuses me of wrongdoing, it is not true; untimely, not timely; unbeneficial, not beneficial; harsh, not gentle; angry, not loving-kindness, I truly do not change my repentance.'


。』被不實舉罪比丘當以此五法自安其心,不自變悔。」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!有比丘舉罪實非不實、時不非時、義饒益不非義饒益、柔軟非粗澀、慈心非瞋恚,實舉罪比丘當以幾法饒益令不改變?」

佛告舍利弗:「實舉罪比丘當以五法饒益令不變悔,當作是言:『長老!汝實舉罪非不實、時不非時、義饒益不非義、柔軟非粗澀、慈心非瞋恚。』舍利弗!實舉罪比丘當以此五法義饒益令不變悔,亦令來世實舉罪比丘而不變悔。」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!我見被實舉罪比丘有瞋恚者。世尊!被實舉罪瞋恚比丘當以幾法令于瞋恨而自開覺?」

佛告舍利弗:「被實舉罪瞋恚比丘當以五法令自開覺,當語彼言:『長老!彼比丘實舉汝罪,非不實,汝莫瞋恨……』乃至『慈心非瞋恚,汝莫瞋恨。』舍利弗!被實舉罪瞋恚比丘當以此五法,令于恚恨而得開覺

現代漢語譯本:『如果被不實指控的比丘,應當用這五種方法來安定自己的心,不要因此而改變或後悔。』 舍利弗問佛說:『世尊!如果比丘的指控是真實的,而不是不真實的;是合時的,而不是不合時的;是有益的,而不是無益的;是柔和的,而不是粗暴的;是慈悲的,而不是嗔恨的。那麼,真實指控的比丘應當用幾種方法來幫助被指控的比丘,使他不因此而改變或後悔呢?』 佛告訴舍利弗說:『真實指控的比丘應當用五種方法來幫助被指控的比丘,使他不改變或後悔,應當這樣說:『長老!你被指控的事情是真實的,而不是不真實的;是合時的,而不是不合時的;是有益的,而不是無益的;是柔和的,而不是粗暴的;是慈悲的,而不是嗔恨的。』舍利弗!真實指控的比丘應當用這五種方法來幫助被指控的比丘,使他不改變或後悔,也使未來真實指控的比丘不會因此而改變或後悔。』 舍利弗問佛說:『世尊!如果被真實指控的比丘,應當用幾種方法來幫助他,使他不改變或後悔呢?』 佛告訴舍利弗說:『被指控的比丘應當用五種方法來幫助他,使他不改變或後悔,應當這樣說:『那位比丘指控你的事情是真實的,而不是不真實的,你不要改變或後悔;是合時的,而不是不合時的;是有益的,而不是無益的;是柔和的,而不是粗暴的;是慈悲的,而不是嗔恨的,你不要改變或後悔。』 舍利弗問佛說:『世尊!我看到被真實指控的比丘有嗔恨心。世尊!被真實指控而有嗔恨心的比丘,應當用幾種方法來使他從嗔恨中覺醒呢?』 佛告訴舍利弗說:『被真實指控而有嗔恨心的比丘,應當用五種方法來使他自己覺醒,應當告訴他:『長老!那位比丘指控你的事情是真實的,而不是不真實的,你不要嗔恨……』乃至『是慈悲的,而不是嗔恨的,你不要嗔恨。』舍利弗!被真實指控而有嗔恨心的比丘,應當用這五種方法,使他從嗔恨中覺醒。』

English version: 'If a monk is falsely accused, he should use these five methods to calm his mind and not change or regret it.' Sariputra asked the Buddha, 'World Honored One, if a monk's accusation is true, not false; timely, not untimely; beneficial, not unbeneficial; gentle, not harsh; and compassionate, not hateful, then how many methods should the monk who made the true accusation use to help the accused monk so that he does not change or regret it?' The Buddha told Sariputra, 'The monk who made the true accusation should use five methods to help the accused monk so that he does not change or regret it. He should say, 'Elder, the matter you are accused of is true, not false; timely, not untimely; beneficial, not unbeneficial; gentle, not harsh; and compassionate, not hateful.' Sariputra, the monk who made the true accusation should use these five methods to help the accused monk so that he does not change or regret it, and also so that future monks who make true accusations will not change or regret it.' Sariputra asked the Buddha, 'World Honored One, if a monk is truly accused, how many methods should be used to help him so that he does not change or regret it?' The Buddha told Sariputra, 'The accused monk should be helped with five methods so that he does not change or regret it. He should be told, 'That monk's accusation against you is true, not false, do not change or regret it; it is timely, not untimely; beneficial, not unbeneficial; gentle, not harsh; and compassionate, not hateful, do not change or regret it.' Sariputra asked the Buddha, 'World Honored One, I have seen monks who are truly accused become angry. World Honored One, how many methods should be used to help a monk who is truly accused and becomes angry to awaken from his anger?' The Buddha told Sariputra, 'A monk who is truly accused and becomes angry should use five methods to awaken himself. He should be told, 'Elder, that monk's accusation against you is true, not false, do not be angry...' up to 'it is compassionate, not hateful, do not be angry.' Sariputra, a monk who is truly accused and becomes angry should use these five methods to awaken from his anger.'


。」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!有實、不實舉我罪者,于彼二人,我當自安其心。若彼實者,我當自知,若不實者,當自開解言:『此則不實,我今自知無此法也。』世尊!我當如是,如世尊所說解材譬經說,教諸沙門:『若有賊來,執汝以鋸解身,汝等於賊起惡念惡言者,自生障礙。是故,比丘!若以鋸解汝身,汝當於彼勿起噁心變易及起惡言,自作障礙。于彼人所,當生慈心,無怨無恨,於四方境界慈心正受具足住,應當學。』是故,世尊!我當如是,如世尊所說,解身之苦,當自安忍,況復小苦、小謗而不安忍?沙門利、沙門欲,欲斷不善法,欲修善法;於此不善法當斷,善法當修,精勤方便,善自防護,繫念思惟,不放逸行,應當學。」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!我若舉他比丘罪,實非不實、時非不時、義饒益非非義饒益、柔軟非粗澀、慈心不瞋恚,然彼被舉比丘有懷瞋恚者。」

佛問舍利弗:「何等像類比丘聞舉其罪而生瞋恚?」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!若彼比丘諂曲幻偽、欺誑不信、無慚無愧、懈怠失念、不定惡慧、慢緩、違于遠離、不敬戒律、不顧沙門、不勤修學、不自省察、為命出家、不求涅槃。如是等人,聞我舉罪,則生瞋恚

舍利弗對佛說:『世尊!如果有人真實或不真實地指責我的過錯,對於這兩種情況,我都會使自己內心平靜。如果指責是真實的,我應當自我反省;如果指責是不真實的,我應當自我解釋說:『這不真實,我清楚地知道自己沒有這樣的行為。』世尊!我應當像您在《解材譬經》中所說的那樣教導沙門:『如果有盜賊來,用鋸子鋸你的身體,如果你們對盜賊產生惡念或惡語,就會給自己製造障礙。因此,比丘們!即使有人用鋸子鋸你的身體,你們也不應該對他們產生噁心、改變心意或說惡語,給自己製造障礙。對於那個人,應當生起慈悲心,沒有怨恨,在四方境界中以慈悲心正受具足而住,應當這樣學習。』因此,世尊!我應當像您所說的那樣,對於身體被解剖的痛苦,都能安忍,更何況是小的痛苦或小的誹謗而不能安忍呢?沙門追求利益,追求慾望,想要斷除不善法,想要修習善法;對於不善法應當斷除,對於善法應當修習,精勤方便,善於自我防護,繫念思惟,不放逸地修行,應當這樣學習。』 舍利弗對佛說:『世尊!如果我指出其他比丘的過錯,無論是真實的還是不真實的,無論是適時的還是不適時的,無論是對他們有益的還是無益的,無論是用柔軟的語言還是粗澀的語言,無論是出於慈悲心還是沒有瞋恚心,但被我指出過錯的比丘卻懷有瞋恚。』 佛問舍利弗:『什麼樣的比丘聽到別人指出他的過錯會產生瞋恚呢?』 舍利弗對佛說:『世尊!如果那個比丘是諂媚虛偽、欺騙不信、不知羞恥、懈怠失念、心意不定、惡慧、傲慢懈怠、違背遠離、不敬戒律、不顧沙門、不勤修學、不自我反省、爲了生活而出家、不追求涅槃。這樣的人,聽到我指出他的過錯,就會產生瞋恚。』

Sariputra said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, if there are those who accuse me of faults, whether truly or falsely, I will settle my mind in both cases. If the accusation is true, I will reflect on myself; if it is false, I will explain to myself, saying, 「This is not true, I know clearly that I have no such behavior.」 World Honored One, I should teach the monks as you said in the 「Sermon on the Saw」: 「If thieves come and saw your body with a saw, if you generate evil thoughts or words towards the thieves, you will create obstacles for yourselves. Therefore, monks, even if someone saws your body with a saw, you should not generate evil thoughts, change your mind, or speak evil words towards them, creating obstacles for yourselves. Towards that person, you should generate a compassionate heart, without resentment, and dwell in the four directions with a compassionate heart, fully and correctly. You should learn this way.」 Therefore, World Honored One, I should, as you said, be able to endure the pain of having my body dissected, let alone not be able to endure small pains or small slanders? A monk seeks benefit, seeks desire, wants to cut off unwholesome dharmas, and wants to cultivate wholesome dharmas; for unwholesome dharmas, one should cut them off, for wholesome dharmas, one should cultivate them, diligently and skillfully, protect oneself well, keep mindfulness and contemplation, and practice without negligence. One should learn this way.』 Sariputra said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, if I point out the faults of other monks, whether they are true or not true, whether it is timely or not timely, whether it is beneficial or not beneficial to them, whether it is with gentle words or harsh words, whether it is out of compassion or without anger, but the monk whose fault I point out harbors anger.' The Buddha asked Sariputra, 'What kind of monks, upon hearing their faults pointed out, would generate anger?' Sariputra said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, if that monk is flattering and deceitful, deceptive and unbelieving, shameless and without remorse, lazy and forgetful, with an unstable mind, evil wisdom, arrogant and negligent, violating detachment, disrespectful of precepts, disregarding the Sangha, not diligent in learning, not self-reflecting, having left home for the sake of life, and not seeking Nirvana. Such people, upon hearing me point out their faults, will generate anger.'


。」

佛問舍利弗:「何等像類比丘聞汝舉罪而不瞋恨?」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!若有比丘不諂曲、不幻偽、不欺誑、有信、慚愧、精勤正念、正定智慧、不慢緩、不捨遠離、深敬戒律、顧沙門行、尊崇涅槃、為法出家、不為性命。如是比丘聞我舉罪,歡喜頂受,如飲甘露。譬如剎利、婆羅門女,沐浴清凈,得好妙華,愛樂頂戴,以冠其首。如是,比丘不諂曲、不幻偽、不欺誑、正信、慚愧、精勤正念、正定智慧、不慢緩、心存遠離、深敬戒律、顧沙門行、勤修自省、為法出家、志求涅槃。如是比丘聞我舉罪,歡喜頂受,如飲甘露。」

佛告舍利弗:「若彼比丘諂曲幻偽、欺誑、不信、無慚無愧、懈怠失念、不定惡慧、慢緩、違于遠離、不敬戒律、不顧沙門行、不求涅槃、為命出家。如是比丘不應教授,與共言語。所以者何?此等比丘破梵行故。若彼比丘不諂曲、不幻偽、不欺誑、信心、慚愧、精勤正念、正定智慧、不慢緩、心存遠離、深敬戒律、顧沙門行、志崇涅槃、為法出家。如是比丘應當教授。所以者何?如是比丘能修梵行,能自建立故。」

佛說此經已,尊者舍利弗聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四九八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住那羅揵陀賣衣者庵羅園

現代漢語譯本 佛陀問舍利弗:『什麼樣的比丘,聽到你指出他的過錯,不會生氣怨恨呢?』 舍利弗回答佛陀說:『世尊!如果有的比丘不虛偽諂媚,不弄虛作假,不欺騙,有信心,有慚愧心,精進勤勉,正念現前,有正定和智慧,不懈怠,不放棄遠離,深深地敬重戒律,顧念沙門的行為,尊崇涅槃,爲了佛法而出家,而不是爲了生活。這樣的比丘,聽到我指出他的過錯,會歡喜地接受,就像喝了甘露一樣。譬如剎帝利或婆羅門家的女子,沐浴清凈后,得到美好的鮮花,喜愛地戴在頭上,作為頭飾。同樣,這樣的比丘不虛偽諂媚,不弄虛作假,不欺騙,有真正的信心,有慚愧心,精進勤勉,正念現前,有正定和智慧,不懈怠,心中想著遠離,深深地敬重戒律,顧念沙門的行為,勤于自我反省,爲了佛法而出家,志求涅槃。這樣的比丘,聽到我指出他的過錯,會歡喜地接受,就像喝了甘露一樣。』 佛陀告訴舍利弗:『如果有的比丘虛偽諂媚,弄虛作假,欺騙,沒有信心,沒有慚愧心,懈怠,失去正念,沒有正定和智慧,懈怠,違背遠離,不敬重戒律,不顧念沙門的行為,不追求涅槃,爲了生活而出家。這樣的比丘不應該教導,也不應該和他說話。為什麼呢?因為這樣的比丘會破壞清凈的修行。如果有的比丘不虛偽諂媚,不弄虛作假,不欺騙,有信心,有慚愧心,精進勤勉,正念現前,有正定和智慧,不懈怠,心中想著遠離,深深地敬重戒律,顧念沙門的行為,志向崇高追求涅槃,爲了佛法而出家。這樣的比丘應當教導。為什麼呢?因為這樣的比丘能夠修持清凈的修行,能夠自我建立。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者舍利弗聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (四九八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在納羅犍陀賣衣者的庵羅園。

English version The Buddha asked Sariputra, 'What kind of bhikkhu, upon hearing you point out their faults, would not be angry or resentful?' Sariputra replied to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, if there is a bhikkhu who is not deceitful, not hypocritical, not fraudulent, has faith, has a sense of shame, is diligent and mindful, has right concentration and wisdom, is not lazy, does not abandon detachment, deeply respects the precepts, cares for the conduct of a samana, reveres Nirvana, has gone forth for the sake of the Dharma, and not for the sake of life. Such a bhikkhu, upon hearing me point out their faults, would joyfully accept it, as if drinking ambrosia. Just as a Kshatriya or Brahmin woman, having bathed and purified herself, obtains beautiful flowers, and lovingly wears them on her head as a crown. Similarly, such a bhikkhu is not deceitful, not hypocritical, not fraudulent, has true faith, has a sense of shame, is diligent and mindful, has right concentration and wisdom, is not lazy, has detachment in mind, deeply respects the precepts, cares for the conduct of a samana, is diligent in self-reflection, has gone forth for the sake of the Dharma, and aspires to Nirvana. Such a bhikkhu, upon hearing me point out their faults, would joyfully accept it, as if drinking ambrosia.' The Buddha told Sariputra, 'If there is a bhikkhu who is deceitful, hypocritical, fraudulent, without faith, without a sense of shame, lazy, lacking mindfulness, without right concentration and wisdom, lazy, goes against detachment, does not respect the precepts, does not care for the conduct of a samana, does not seek Nirvana, and has gone forth for the sake of life. Such a bhikkhu should not be taught, nor should one speak with them. Why is that? Because such a bhikkhu will destroy the pure conduct. If there is a bhikkhu who is not deceitful, not hypocritical, not fraudulent, has faith, has a sense of shame, is diligent and mindful, has right concentration and wisdom, is not lazy, has detachment in mind, deeply respects the precepts, cares for the conduct of a samana, has a noble aspiration for Nirvana, and has gone forth for the sake of the Dharma. Such a bhikkhu should be taught. Why is that? Because such a bhikkhu is capable of practicing pure conduct and is capable of self-establishment.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Sariputra, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (498) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Amra garden of the cloth seller at Narokhanda.


爾時,舍利弗詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我深信世尊,過去、當來、今現在,諸沙門、婆羅門所有智慧,無有與世尊菩提等者,況復過上?」

佛告舍利弗:「善哉!善哉!舍利弗,善哉所說,第一之說,能于眾中作師子吼,自言深信世尊,言過去、當來、今現在,沙門、婆羅門所有智慧,無有與佛菩提等者,況復過上?」佛問舍利弗:「汝能審知過去三藐三佛陀所有增上戒?」

舍利弗白佛言:「不知。」

世尊復問:「舍利弗!知如是法、如是慧、如是明、如是解脫、如是住不?」

舍利弗白佛言:「不知。世尊!」

佛告舍利弗:「汝復知未來三藐三佛陀所有增上戒。如是法、如是慧、如是明、如是解脫、如是住不?」

舍利弗白佛言:「不知。世尊!」

佛告舍利弗:「汝復能知今現在佛所有增上戒。如是法、如是慧、如是明、如是解脫、如是住不?」

舍利弗白佛言:「不知。世尊!」

佛告舍利弗:「汝若不知過去、未來、今現在諸佛世尊心中所有諸法

現代漢語譯本 當時,舍利弗來到世尊所在的地方,頂禮世尊雙足,然後退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!我深信世尊,過去、未來、現在所有的沙門、婆羅門所擁有的智慧,沒有能與世尊的菩提相等的,更何況是超越呢?』 佛告訴舍利弗:『說得好!說得好!舍利弗,你說的很好,這是第一等的說法,能在眾人之中發出獅子吼,自己說深信世尊,說過去、未來、現在,沙門、婆羅門所擁有的智慧,沒有能與佛的菩提相等的,更何況是超越呢?』佛問舍利弗:『你能夠確切知道過去三藐三佛陀所擁有的增上戒嗎?』 舍利弗回答佛說:『不知道。』 世尊又問:『舍利弗!你知道他們所擁有的法、慧、明、解脫、安住的狀態嗎?』 舍利弗回答佛說:『不知道,世尊!』 佛告訴舍利弗:『你又知道未來三藐三佛陀所擁有的增上戒,以及他們所擁有的法、慧、明、解脫、安住的狀態嗎?』 舍利弗回答佛說:『不知道,世尊!』 佛告訴舍利弗:『你又能知道現在佛所擁有的增上戒,以及他們所擁有的法、慧、明、解脫、安住的狀態嗎?』 舍利弗回答佛說:『不知道,世尊!』 佛告訴舍利弗:『如果你不知道過去、未來、現在諸佛世尊心中所擁有的各種法』

English version At that time, Sariputra went to where the World Honored One was, bowed his head to the feet of the World Honored One, and then withdrew to sit on one side. He said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! I deeply believe in the World Honored One. The wisdom possessed by all the ascetics and Brahmins of the past, future, and present is not equal to the Bodhi of the World Honored One, let alone surpass it?' The Buddha told Sariputra, 'Well said! Well said! Sariputra, what you said is very good. This is the first-rate statement, able to roar like a lion among the crowd, saying that you deeply believe in the World Honored One, saying that the wisdom possessed by the ascetics and Brahmins of the past, future, and present is not equal to the Bodhi of the Buddha, let alone surpass it?' The Buddha asked Sariputra, 'Are you able to know for sure the superior precepts possessed by the past Samyaksambuddhas?' Sariputra replied to the Buddha, 'I do not know.' The World Honored One asked again, 'Sariputra! Do you know their Dharma, wisdom, clarity, liberation, and state of abiding?' Sariputra replied to the Buddha, 'I do not know, World Honored One!' The Buddha told Sariputra, 'Do you also know the superior precepts possessed by the future Samyaksambuddhas, as well as their Dharma, wisdom, clarity, liberation, and state of abiding?' Sariputra replied to the Buddha, 'I do not know, World Honored One!' The Buddha told Sariputra, 'Are you also able to know the superior precepts possessed by the present Buddhas, as well as their Dharma, wisdom, clarity, liberation, and state of abiding?' Sariputra replied to the Buddha, 'I do not know, World Honored One!' The Buddha told Sariputra, 'If you do not know the various Dharmas possessed in the minds of the past, future, and present Buddhas, World Honored Ones'


。云何如是讚歎?于大眾中作師子吼,說言:『我深信世尊,過去、當來諸沙門、婆羅門所有智慧,無有與世尊菩提等者,況復過上』?」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!我不能知過去、當來、今現在諸佛世尊心之分齊,然我能知諸佛世尊法之分齊。我聞世尊說法,轉轉深、轉轉勝、轉轉上、轉轉妙,我聞世尊說法,知一法即斷一法,知一法即證一法,知一法即修習一法,究竟於法,于大師所得凈信,心得凈。

「世尊是等正覺。世尊!譬如國王有邊城,城周匝方直,牢固堅密,唯有一門,無第二門,立守門者,人民入出皆從此門,若入若出,其守門者,雖復不知人數多少,要知人民唯從此門,更無他處。如是,我知過去諸佛、如來、應、等正覺悉斷五蓋惱心,令慧力羸、墮障礙品、不向涅槃者,住四念處,修七覺分,得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。彼當來世諸佛世尊亦斷五蓋惱心,令慧力羸、墮障礙品、不向涅槃者,住四念處,修七覺分,得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。今現在諸佛世尊、如來、應、等正覺亦斷五蓋惱心,令慧力羸、墮障礙品、不向涅槃者,住四念處,修七覺分,得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」

佛告舍利弗:「如是,如是

現代漢語譯本:如何這樣讚歎呢?在大眾中發出獅子吼,說道:『我深信世尊,過去、未來所有的沙門、婆羅門所擁有的智慧,沒有能與世尊的菩提相等的,更何況是超越呢?』 舍利弗對佛說:『世尊!我不能知道過去、未來、現在諸佛世尊的心境的界限,但我能知道諸佛世尊的法境的界限。我聽世尊說法,越轉越深,越轉越殊勝,越轉越高超,越轉越精妙。我聽世尊說法,知道一個法就斷除一個法,知道一個法就證得一個法,知道一個法就修習一個法,最終通達於法,對於大師所獲得的清凈的信心,內心也清凈。』 『世尊是等正覺。世尊!譬如國王有一座邊境的城池,城池四周方正,牢固堅實,只有一扇門,沒有第二扇門,設立守門人,人民出入都從此門,無論是進入還是出去,守門人雖然不知道人數多少,但知道人民只從此門出入,沒有其他地方。如此,我知道過去諸佛、如來、應供、等正覺都斷除了使心煩惱的五蓋,使智慧力衰弱、墮入障礙、不趨向涅槃的那些因素,他們安住於四念處,修習七覺支,證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。那些未來世的諸佛世尊也斷除了使心煩惱的五蓋,使智慧力衰弱、墮入障礙、不趨向涅槃的那些因素,他們安住於四念處,修習七覺支,證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。現在世的諸佛世尊、如來、應供、等正覺也斷除了使心煩惱的五蓋,使智慧力衰弱、墮入障礙、不趨向涅槃的那些因素,他們安住於四念處,修習七覺支,證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。』 佛告訴舍利弗:『是這樣的,是這樣的。』

English version: How is such praise given? In the midst of the assembly, he roars like a lion, saying: 『I deeply believe in the World-Honored One. Among all the wisdom possessed by the ascetics and Brahmins of the past and future, none is equal to the Bodhi of the World-Honored One, let alone surpass it.』 Sariputra said to the Buddha: 『World-Honored One! I cannot know the limits of the minds of the Buddhas, World-Honored Ones of the past, future, and present, but I can know the limits of the Dharma of the Buddhas, World-Honored Ones. I hear the World-Honored One preach the Dharma, which becomes deeper, more excellent, more supreme, and more subtle as it progresses. I hear the World-Honored One preach the Dharma, and knowing one Dharma, I cut off one Dharma; knowing one Dharma, I realize one Dharma; knowing one Dharma, I cultivate one Dharma, ultimately penetrating the Dharma. Regarding the pure faith obtained from the Great Master, my mind is also purified.』 『The World-Honored One is the Perfectly Enlightened One. World-Honored One! It is like a king having a border city, the city being square and solid, with only one gate, no second gate. A gatekeeper is stationed there, and the people enter and exit through this gate. Whether they enter or exit, the gatekeeper, though not knowing the number of people, knows that the people only pass through this gate, and there is no other way. Likewise, I know that the Buddhas, Tathagatas, Arhats, and Perfectly Enlightened Ones of the past all cut off the five hindrances that trouble the mind, weaken the power of wisdom, cause one to fall into obstacles, and not incline towards Nirvana. They abide in the four foundations of mindfulness, cultivate the seven factors of enlightenment, and attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Those future Buddhas, World-Honored Ones, also cut off the five hindrances that trouble the mind, weaken the power of wisdom, cause one to fall into obstacles, and not incline towards Nirvana. They abide in the four foundations of mindfulness, cultivate the seven factors of enlightenment, and attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. The present Buddhas, World-Honored Ones, Tathagatas, Arhats, and Perfectly Enlightened Ones also cut off the five hindrances that trouble the mind, weaken the power of wisdom, cause one to fall into obstacles, and not incline towards Nirvana. They abide in the four foundations of mindfulness, cultivate the seven factors of enlightenment, and attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.』 The Buddha said to Sariputra: 『It is so, it is so.』


。舍利弗!過去、未來、今現在佛悉斷五蓋惱心,慧力羸、墮障礙品、不向涅槃者,住四念處,修七覺分,得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」

佛說是經已,尊者舍利弗聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(四九九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,尊者舍利弗在耆阇崛山中。

時,有月子比丘!是提婆達多弟子,詣尊者舍利弗,共相問訊慰勞已,退住一面。退住一面已,尊者舍利弗問月子比丘言:「提婆達多比丘為諸比丘說法不?」

月子比丘答言:「說法。」

尊者舍利弗問月子比丘言:「提婆達多雲何說法?」

月子比丘語尊者舍利弗言:「彼提婆達多如是說法言:『比丘心法修心,是比丘能自記說:「我已離欲,解脫五欲功德。」』」

舍利弗語月子比丘言:「汝提婆達多何以不說法言:『比丘心法善修心,離欲心,離瞋恚心,離愚癡心,得無貪法、無恚法、無癡法,不轉還欲有、色有、無色有法,彼比丘能自記說言:「我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。」耶?』」

。尊者舍利弗!」

爾時,尊者舍利弗語月子比丘言:「若有比丘心法善修心者,能離貪慾心、瞋恚、愚癡心,得無貪法、無恚、無癡法,是比丘能自記說:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』

「譬如村邑,近有大石山,不斷、不壞、不穿、厚密,正使東方風來,不能令動,亦復不能過至西方。如是南、西、北方、四維風來,不能傾動,亦不能過。如是,比丘心法善修心者,離貪慾心,離瞋恚心,離愚癡心,得無貪法、無恚法、無癡法,是比丘能自記說:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』

「譬如因陀銅鐵及銅柱深入地中,筑令堅密,四方風吹不能傾動。如是,比丘心法善修心已,離貪慾心,離瞋恚心,離愚癡心,得無貪法、無恚法、無癡法,是比丘能自記說:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』

「譬如石柱長十六肘,八肘入地,四方風吹不能傾動。如是,比丘心法善修心已,悉離貪慾心,離瞋恚心,離愚癡心,得無貪法、無恚法、無癡法,能自記說:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』

「譬如火燒未燒者,燒已不復更燒

『尊者舍利弗!』 那時,尊者舍利弗對比丘月子說:『如果有一位比丘,他的心法修習得很好,能夠遠離貪慾心、嗔恚心和愚癡心,獲得無貪、無嗔、無癡的境界,這位比丘就可以自己宣告:『我已經了脫生死,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的都已做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 『比如一個村莊附近有一座巨大的石山,它堅固、完整、沒有裂縫、厚實緊密,即使東風吹來,也不能使它動搖,也不能把它吹到西邊。同樣,南、西、北、四維的風吹來,也不能使它傾斜或移動。同樣,如果一位比丘的心法修習得很好,遠離了貪慾心、嗔恚心和愚癡心,獲得了無貪、無嗔、無癡的境界,這位比丘就可以自己宣告:『我已經了脫生死,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的都已做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 『比如因陀的銅鐵或銅柱深深地插入地下,筑得非常堅固,四面八方的風都不能使它傾倒。同樣,如果一位比丘的心法修習得很好,遠離了貪慾心、嗔恚心和愚癡心,獲得了無貪、無嗔、無癡的境界,這位比丘就可以自己宣告:『我已經了脫生死,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的都已做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 『比如一根石柱,長十六肘,八肘埋入地下,四面八方的風都不能使它傾倒。同樣,如果一位比丘的心法修習得很好,完全遠離了貪慾心、嗔恚心和愚癡心,獲得了無貪、無嗔、無癡的境界,就可以自己宣告:『我已經了脫生死,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的都已做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 『比如火燃燒未燃燒的東西,一旦燃燒完畢就不會再燃燒。』

'Venerable Sariputta!' Then, Venerable Sariputta said to the monk Moon Child: 'If there is a monk who has well cultivated his mind in the Dharma, and is able to be free from greed, hatred, and delusion, and attains the state of non-greed, non-hatred, and non-delusion, that monk can declare himself: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』 'For example, near a village, there is a large stone mountain, unbroken, uncracked, solid, thick, and dense. Even if the east wind comes, it cannot move it, nor can it pass to the west. Likewise, the south, west, north, and intermediate winds cannot tilt it or move it. Similarly, if a monk has well cultivated his mind in the Dharma, and is free from greed, hatred, and delusion, and attains the state of non-greed, non-hatred, and non-delusion, that monk can declare himself: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』 'For example, an Inda copper or iron pillar is deeply embedded in the ground, built to be very firm, and the winds from all directions cannot topple it. Similarly, if a monk has well cultivated his mind in the Dharma, and is free from greed, hatred, and delusion, and attains the state of non-greed, non-hatred, and non-delusion, that monk can declare himself: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』 'For example, a stone pillar, sixteen cubits long, with eight cubits buried in the ground, cannot be toppled by the winds from all directions. Similarly, if a monk has well cultivated his mind in the Dharma, and is completely free from greed, hatred, and delusion, and attains the state of non-greed, non-hatred, and non-delusion, he can declare himself: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』 'For example, fire burns what has not been burned, and once it has burned, it will not burn again.'


。如是,比丘心法修心已,離貪慾心,離瞋恚心,離愚癡心,得無貪法、無恚法、無癡法,能自記說:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

舍利弗說此經已,諸比丘聞其所說,歡喜奉行。

(五〇〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。時,尊者舍利弗亦住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,尊者舍利弗晨朝著衣持缽,入王舍城乞食,乞食已,於一樹下食。

時,有凈口外道出家尼從王舍城出,少有所營,見尊者舍利弗坐一樹下食,見已,問言:「沙門食耶?」

尊者舍利弗答言:「食。」

復問:「云何?沙門下口食耶?」

答言:「不也,姊妹!」

復問:「仰口食耶?」

答言:「不也,姊妹!」

復問:「云何?方口食耶?」

答言:「不也,姊妹!」

復問:「四維口食耶?」

答言:「不也,姊妹!」

復問:「我問沙門食耶?」答我言:「食。」我問仰口耶?答我言:「不。」「下口食耶?」答我言:「不。」「方口食耶?」答我言:「不。」四維口食耶?答我言:「不

現代漢語譯本:如此,比丘通過修習心法,已經遠離了貪慾之心、嗔恚之心和愚癡之心,獲得了無貪、無嗔、無癡的境界,能夠自己確信地說:『我的生死輪迴已經結束,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的都已經做了,自己知道不會再有來生。』 舍利弗說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了他說的話,都非常歡喜並遵照奉行。 (五〇〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,尊者舍利弗也住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。那時,尊者舍利弗早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入王舍城乞食。乞食完畢后,在一棵樹下吃飯。 當時,有一位凈口外道的出家女尼從王舍城出來,她有點事情要辦。她看見尊者舍利弗坐在一棵樹下吃飯,看到后,就問:『沙門在吃飯嗎?』 尊者舍利弗回答說:『在吃飯。』 她又問:『怎麼,沙門是下口吃飯嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,姊妹!』 她又問:『是仰口吃飯嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,姊妹!』 她又問:『怎麼,是方口吃飯嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,姊妹!』 她又問:『是四維口吃飯嗎?』 回答說:『不是的,姊妹!』 她又問:『我問沙門在吃飯嗎?你回答說:『在吃飯。』我問是仰口吃飯嗎?你回答說:『不是。』『是下口吃飯嗎?』你回答說:『不是。』『是方口吃飯嗎?』你回答說:『不是。』是四維口吃飯嗎?你回答說:『不是。』

English version: Thus, a bhikkhu, having cultivated his mind through the practice of mental disciplines, has abandoned the mind of greed, the mind of hatred, and the mind of delusion, and has attained the state of non-greed, non-hatred, and non-delusion. He can confidently declare: 『My cycle of birth and death is finished, the pure life has been lived, what needed to be done has been done, and I know for myself that there will be no further existence.』 After Shariputra had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what he said, rejoiced and followed his teachings. (500) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, the venerable Shariputra was also dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. Then, the venerable Shariputra, having dressed in the morning, took his bowl and entered Rajagaha for alms. Having finished his alms round, he ate under a tree. At that time, a female ascetic of the 'Pure Mouth' sect, who had left home, came out of Rajagaha. She had some business to attend to. She saw the venerable Shariputra sitting under a tree eating. Having seen him, she asked: 『Is the shramana eating?』 The venerable Shariputra replied: 『I am eating.』 She asked again: 『How is it? Does the shramana eat with his mouth facing downwards?』 He replied: 『No, sister!』 She asked again: 『Does he eat with his mouth facing upwards?』 He replied: 『No, sister!』 She asked again: 『How is it? Does he eat with his mouth facing sideways?』 He replied: 『No, sister!』 She asked again: 『Does he eat with his mouth facing the four directions?』 He replied: 『No, sister!』 She asked again: 『I asked if the shramana is eating? You replied: 『I am eating.』 I asked if he eats with his mouth facing upwards? You replied: 『No.』 『Does he eat with his mouth facing downwards?』 You replied: 『No.』 『Does he eat with his mouth facing sideways?』 You replied: 『No.』 Does he eat with his mouth facing the four directions? You replied: 『No.』


。」如此所說,有何等義?

尊者舍利弗言:「姊妹!諸所有沙門、婆羅門明於事者、明於橫法、邪命求食者、如是沙門、婆羅門下口食也。若諸沙門、婆羅門仰觀星曆,邪命求食者,如是沙門、婆羅門則為仰口食也。若諸沙門、婆羅門為他使命,邪命求食者。如是沙門、婆羅門則為方口食也。若有沙門、婆羅門為諸醫方種種治病,邪命求食者,如是沙門、婆羅門則為四維口食也。姊妹!我不墮此四種邪命而求食也。然我,姊妹!但以法求食而自活也,是故我說不為四種食也。」

時,凈口外道出家尼聞尊者舍利弗所說,歡喜隨喜而去。

時,凈口外道出家尼于王舍城裡巷四衢處讚歎言:「沙門釋子凈命自活,極凈命自活;諸有欲為施者,應施沙門釋種子;若欲為福者,應于沙門釋子所作福。」

時,有諸外道出家聞凈口外道出家尼讚歎沙門釋子聲,以嫉妒心,害彼凈口外道出家尼,命終之後生兜率天,以于尊者舍利弗所生信心故也。

(五〇一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,尊者大目揵連在王舍城耆阇崛山中。

爾時,尊者大目揵連告諸比丘:「一時,世尊住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本:『如此所說,有何意義?』 尊者舍利弗說:『姊妹!所有那些沙門、婆羅門,如果他們精通占卜、星象,或者以不正當的手段謀生,這些沙門、婆羅門就是下口食。如果沙門、婆羅門仰觀星象曆法,以不正當的手段謀生,這些沙門、婆羅門就是仰口食。如果沙門、婆羅門為他人奔走,以不正當的手段謀生,這些沙門、婆羅門就是方口食。如果沙門、婆羅門為他人醫病,以不正當的手段謀生,這些沙門、婆羅門就是四維口食。姊妹!我不會墮入這四種不正當的謀生方式。我,姊妹!只是通過正法求食而自活,所以我說我不為這四種食。』 當時,凈口外道出家尼聽了尊者舍利弗所說,歡喜讚歎,然後離開了。 當時,凈口外道出家尼在王舍城的街巷和十字路口讚歎說:『沙門釋子以清凈的生命自活,極其清凈的生命自活;那些想要佈施的人,應該佈施給沙門釋子;那些想要積福的人,應該在沙門釋子那裡積福。』 當時,一些外道出家人聽到凈口外道出家尼讚歎沙門釋子的聲音,心生嫉妒,殺害了凈口外道出家尼。她死後,因為對尊者舍利弗生起了信心,所以轉生到了兜率天。 (五〇一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,尊者大目犍連在王舍城的耆阇崛山中。 當時,尊者大目犍連告訴眾比丘:『有一次,世尊住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。』

English version: 'What is the meaning of what you have said?' Venerable Sariputta said, 'Sister! All those ascetics and Brahmins who are skilled in divination, astrology, or who seek sustenance through wrong livelihood, such ascetics and Brahmins are those who eat with their mouths facing downwards. If ascetics and Brahmins look up at the stars and calendars, seeking sustenance through wrong livelihood, such ascetics and Brahmins are those who eat with their mouths facing upwards. If ascetics and Brahmins run errands for others, seeking sustenance through wrong livelihood, such ascetics and Brahmins are those who eat with their mouths facing sideways. If ascetics and Brahmins treat illnesses for others, seeking sustenance through wrong livelihood, such ascetics and Brahmins are those who eat with their mouths facing in all four directions. Sister! I do not fall into these four kinds of wrong livelihood to seek sustenance. I, sister! Only live by seeking sustenance through the Dharma, therefore I say I do not eat in these four ways.' At that time, the female ascetic of the Pure Mouth sect, having heard what Venerable Sariputta said, rejoiced and praised him, and then departed. At that time, the female ascetic of the Pure Mouth sect praised in the streets and crossroads of Rajagaha, saying, 'The disciples of the Sakyan ascetics live with pure lives, extremely pure lives; those who wish to give alms should give to the disciples of the Sakyan ascetics; those who wish to accumulate merit should accumulate merit with the disciples of the Sakyan ascetics.' At that time, some non-Buddhist ascetics, hearing the female ascetic of the Pure Mouth sect praising the Sakyan ascetics, became jealous and killed the female ascetic of the Pure Mouth sect. After her death, because she had developed faith in Venerable Sariputta, she was reborn in the Tusita Heaven. (501) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagaha. At that time, Venerable Maha Moggallana was on Mount Gijjhakuta in Rajagaha. At that time, Venerable Maha Moggallana said to the monks, 'Once, the Blessed One was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagaha.'


。我於此耆阇崛山中住,我獨一靜處,作如是念:『云何為聖默然?』復作是念:『若有比丘息有覺有觀,內凈一心,無覺無觀三昧生喜樂,第二禪具足住,是名聖默然。』復作是念:『我今亦當聖默然,息有覺有觀,內凈一心,無覺無觀三昧生喜樂,具足住多住;多住已,復有覺有觀心起。』爾時,世尊知我心念,于竹園精舍沒,于耆阇崛山中現於我前,語我言:『目揵連!汝當聖默然,莫生放逸。』我聞世尊說已,即復離有覺有觀,內凈一心,無覺無觀三昧生喜樂,第二禪具足住。如是再三,佛亦再三教我:『汝當聖默然,莫放逸。』我即復息有覺有觀,內凈一心,無覺無觀三昧生喜樂,第三禪具足住。

「若正說佛子從佛口生,從法化生,得佛法分者,則我身是也。所以者何?我是佛子,從佛口生,從法化生,得佛法分,以少方便,得禪、解脫、三昧、正受。譬如轉輪聖王長太子,雖未灌頂,已得王法,不勤方便,能得五欲功德。我亦如是,為佛之子,不勤方便,得禪、解脫、三昧、正受,於一日中,世尊以神通力三至我所,三教授我,以大人處所建立於我。」

尊者大目揵連說此經已,諸比丘聞其所說,歡喜奉行。

(五〇二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本:我住在耆阇崛山中,獨自一人靜處,心中思量:『什麼是聖者的寂靜?』又思量:『如果有一位比丘,止息了有覺有觀,內心清凈,一心專注,進入無覺無觀的三昧,生起喜樂,安住于第二禪,這便是聖者的寂靜。』我又思量:『我現在也應當進入聖者的寂靜,止息有覺有觀,內心清凈,一心專注,進入無覺無觀的三昧,生起喜樂,安住並長久安住;長久安住后,又生起了有覺有觀的心念。』那時,世尊知道我的心念,從竹園精舍消失,在我面前顯現在耆阇崛山中,對我說:『目犍連!你應當進入聖者的寂靜,不要放逸。』我聽了世尊的話,立刻再次離開有覺有觀,內心清凈,一心專注,進入無覺無觀的三昧,生起喜樂,安住于第二禪。像這樣反覆三次,佛也反覆三次教導我:『你應當進入聖者的寂靜,不要放逸。』我便再次止息有覺有觀,內心清凈,一心專注,進入無覺無觀的三昧,生起喜樂,安住于第三禪。 如果正確地說佛子是從佛口所生,從佛法所化生,得到佛法的一部分,那麼我就是這樣的人。為什麼呢?因為我是佛子,從佛口所生,從佛法所化生,得到佛法的一部分,以少許方便,就得到了禪定、解脫、三昧、正受。譬如轉輪聖王的嫡長子,雖然沒有舉行灌頂儀式,卻已經得到了王位的繼承權,不用費力就能得到五欲的功德。我也是這樣,作為佛的兒子,不用費力就能得到禪定、解脫、三昧、正受,在一天之中,世尊以神通力三次來到我這裡,三次教導我,以大人的處所來建立我。 尊者大目犍連說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了他的話,都歡喜地奉行。 (五〇二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

English version: I was dwelling on Mount Gijjhakuta, alone in a quiet place, and I thought to myself, 'What is the noble silence?' And I thought again, 'If a bhikkhu has ceased thought and examination, with inner clarity and unification of mind, and enters the joy and bliss born of concentration without thought and examination, and abides in the second jhana, this is called noble silence.' And I thought, 'Now I too should enter noble silence, ceasing thought and examination, with inner clarity and unification of mind, and enter the joy and bliss born of concentration without thought and examination, and abide and abide long; after abiding long, thoughts and examination arise again.' At that time, the Blessed One, knowing my thoughts, disappeared from the Bamboo Grove Monastery and appeared before me on Mount Gijjhakuta, saying to me, 'Moggallana! You should enter noble silence, do not be negligent.' Having heard the Blessed One's words, I immediately again left thought and examination, with inner clarity and unification of mind, and entered the joy and bliss born of concentration without thought and examination, and abided in the second jhana. Like this three times, the Buddha also taught me three times, 'You should enter noble silence, do not be negligent.' I then again ceased thought and examination, with inner clarity and unification of mind, and entered the joy and bliss born of concentration without thought and examination, and abided in the third jhana. If it is correct to say that a Buddha's son is born from the Buddha's mouth, born from the Dharma, and receives a share of the Buddha's Dharma, then I am such a person. Why is that? Because I am a Buddha's son, born from the Buddha's mouth, born from the Dharma, and receive a share of the Buddha's Dharma. With little effort, I have attained concentration, liberation, samadhi, and right reception. Just like the eldest son of a wheel-turning monarch, although not yet crowned, has already obtained the right to the throne, and without effort can obtain the merits of the five desires. I am also like this, as a son of the Buddha, without effort I can obtain concentration, liberation, samadhi, and right reception. In one day, the Blessed One, with his supernatural power, came to me three times, taught me three times, and established me in the place of a great man. After the Venerable Maha Moggallana had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what he said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (502) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha.


。爾時,尊者大目揵連在王舍城耆阇崛山中。

爾時,尊者大目揵連告諸比丘:「一時,世尊住王舍城,我住耆阇崛山中。我獨一靜處,作如是念:『云何名為聖住?』復作是念:『若有比丘不念一切相,無相心正受,身作證具足住,是名聖住。』我作是念:『我當於此聖住,不念一切相、無相心正受。身作證具足住多住,多住已,取相心生。』爾時,世尊知我心念,如力士屈申臂頃,以神通力,于竹園精舍沒,于耆阇崛山中現於我前,語我言:『目揵連!汝當住于聖住,莫生放逸。』我聞世尊教已,即離一切相,無相心正受,身作證具足住。如是至三,世尊亦三來教我:『汝當住于聖住,莫生放逸。』我聞教已,離一切相,無相心正受,身作證具足住。

「諸大德!若正說佛子者,則我身是從佛口生,從法化生,得佛法分。所以者何?我是佛子,從佛口生,從法化生,得佛法分,以少方便,得禪、解脫、三昧、正受。譬如轉輪聖王太子,雖未灌頂,已得王法,不勤方便,能得五欲功德。我亦如是。為佛之子,不勤方便,得禪、解脫、三昧、正受,於一日中,世尊以神通力三至我所,三教授我,以大人處建立於我。」

尊者大目揵連說此經已,諸比丘聞其所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者大目犍連住在王舍城的耆阇崛山中。 當時,尊者大目犍連告訴眾比丘:『有一次,世尊住在王舍城,我住在耆阇崛山中。我獨自一人在安靜的地方,心中這樣想:『什麼叫做聖住呢?』我又這樣想:『如果有比丘不執著於一切表象,以無相的心進入正定,並且以身體證悟而安住,這就叫做聖住。』我這樣想:『我應當在這種聖住中,不執著於一切表象,以無相的心進入正定,並且以身體證悟而安住。』我多次這樣安住后,執著于表象的心又產生了。當時,世尊知道我心中的想法,就像力士屈伸手臂那樣迅速,以神通力從竹園精舍消失,在我面前出現在耆阇崛山中,對我說:『目犍連!你應當安住于聖住,不要放逸。』我聽了世尊的教誨后,立刻放下一切表象,以無相的心進入正定,並且以身體證悟而安住。像這樣,世尊三次來教導我:『你應當安住于聖住,不要放逸。』我聽了教誨后,放下一切表象,以無相的心進入正定,並且以身體證悟而安住。 『諸位大德!如果正確地說佛子,那麼我的身體是從佛口所生,從佛法所化生,得到了佛法的分。為什麼這樣說呢?我是佛子,從佛口所生,從佛法所化生,得到了佛法的分,以很少的方便,就得到了禪定、解脫、三昧、正定。譬如轉輪聖王的太子,雖然沒有舉行灌頂儀式,已經得到了王法,不用費力就能得到五欲的功德。我也是這樣。作為佛的兒子,不用費力就能得到禪定、解脫、三昧、正定,在一天之中,世尊以神通力三次來到我這裡,三次教導我,以大人的方式來成就我。』 尊者大目犍連說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了他所說的話,都歡喜地奉行。

English version: At that time, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana was dwelling on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa in Rājagṛha. At that time, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana addressed the monks, saying: 'Once, the Blessed One was dwelling in Rājagṛha, and I was dwelling on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa. While I was alone in a quiet place, I thought to myself: 「What is called the noble dwelling?」 Then I thought: 「If a monk does not dwell on any signs, enters into the signless concentration, and dwells having realized it with his body, this is called the noble dwelling.」 I thought: 「I should dwell in this noble dwelling, not dwelling on any signs, entering into the signless concentration, and dwelling having realized it with my body.」 After dwelling in this way many times, a mind dwelling on signs arose. At that time, the Blessed One, knowing my thoughts, as quickly as a strong man extends or retracts his arm, by his supernormal power, vanished from the Bamboo Grove Monastery and appeared before me on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa, saying to me: 「Mahāmaudgalyāyana! You should dwell in the noble dwelling, do not be negligent.」 Having heard the Blessed One』s teaching, I immediately abandoned all signs, entered into the signless concentration, and dwelt having realized it with my body. In this way, the Blessed One came three times to teach me: 「You should dwell in the noble dwelling, do not be negligent.」 Having heard the teaching, I abandoned all signs, entered into the signless concentration, and dwelt having realized it with my body.' 'Venerable ones! If one were to rightly call someone a son of the Buddha, then my body is born from the Buddha』s mouth, born from the Dharma, and has obtained a share of the Buddha』s Dharma. Why is that? I am a son of the Buddha, born from the Buddha』s mouth, born from the Dharma, and have obtained a share of the Buddha』s Dharma. With little effort, I have obtained meditation, liberation, samādhi, and right concentration. Just as a crown prince of a wheel-turning monarch, though not yet crowned, has already obtained the royal law, and without effort can obtain the merits of the five desires. So it is with me. As a son of the Buddha, without effort, I have obtained meditation, liberation, samādhi, and right concentration. In one day, the Blessed One came to me three times by his supernormal power, and taught me three times, establishing me in the position of a great man.' After the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what he said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。爾時,尊者舍利弗、尊者大目揵連、尊者阿難在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園,於一房共住。

時,尊者舍利弗於後夜時告尊者目揵連:「奇哉!尊者目揵連!汝於今夜住寂滅正受。」

尊者目揵連聞尊者舍利弗語尊者目揵連言:「我都不聞汝喘息之聲。」

尊者目揵連言:「此非寂滅正受,粗正受住耳。尊者舍利弗!我於今夜與世尊共語。」

尊者舍利弗言:「目揵連!世尊住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園,去此極遠。云何共語?汝今在竹園,云何共語?汝以神通力至世尊所?為是世尊神通力來至汝所?」

尊者目揵連語尊者舍利弗:「我不以神通力詣世尊所,世尊不以神通力來至我所,然我于舍衛國王舍城中聞,世尊及我俱得天眼、天耳故。我能問世尊:『所謂慇勤精進。云何名為慇勤精進?』世尊答我言:『目揵連!若此比丘晝則經行、若坐,以不障礙法自凈其心。初夜若坐、經行,以不障礙法自凈其心。于中夜時,出房外洗足,還入房,右脅而臥,足足相累,繫念明相,正念正知,作起思惟。於後夜時,徐覺徐起,若坐亦經行,以不障礙法自凈其心,目揵連!是名比丘慇勤精進

現代漢語譯本: (五〇三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,尊者舍利弗、尊者大目犍連、尊者阿難住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園,在同一間房裡共同居住。 當時,尊者舍利弗在後半夜時告訴尊者目犍連:『真奇特啊!尊者目犍連!你今晚處於寂滅正受的狀態。』 尊者目犍連聽到尊者舍利弗說,『我都沒有聽到你的呼吸聲。』 尊者目犍連說:『這不是寂滅正受,只是粗淺的正受而已。尊者舍利弗!我今晚和世尊交談了。』 尊者舍利弗說:『目犍連!世尊住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園,離這裡非常遙遠。怎麼可能交談呢?你現在在竹園,怎麼可能交談呢?你是用神通力到了世尊那裡?還是世尊用神通力來到你這裡?』 尊者目犍連告訴尊者舍利弗:『我不是用神通力去到世尊那裡,世尊也不是用神通力來到我這裡,然而我在舍衛國和王舍城中都聽到了,因為世尊和我都有天眼、天耳。我能問世尊:『所謂的慇勤精進,怎樣叫做慇勤精進?』世尊回答我說:『目犍連!如果這位比丘白天經行或坐禪,用不障礙的法來凈化自己的心。初夜時如果坐禪或經行,用不障礙的法來凈化自己的心。在中夜時,出房外洗腳,再回到房裡,右脅而臥,雙腳交疊,繫念光明之相,正念正知,作起身的思惟。在後半夜時,慢慢地醒來,慢慢地起身,如果坐禪或經行,用不障礙的法來凈化自己的心,目犍連!這就叫做比丘的慇勤精進。』

English version: (503) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the venerable Sariputra, the venerable Maha Moggallana, and the venerable Ananda were dwelling together in one room in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. Then, the venerable Sariputra, in the latter part of the night, said to the venerable Moggallana, 'How amazing! Venerable Moggallana! You are abiding in the cessation of perception and feeling tonight.' The venerable Moggallana heard the venerable Sariputra say, 'I did not hear the sound of your breathing at all.' The venerable Moggallana said, 'This is not the cessation of perception and feeling, but merely a coarse form of concentration. Venerable Sariputra! I spoke with the Blessed One tonight.' The venerable Sariputra said, 'Moggallana! The Blessed One is dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti, which is very far from here. How could you have spoken with him? You are now in the Bamboo Grove, how could you have spoken with him? Did you go to the Blessed One by your psychic power? Or did the Blessed One come to you by his psychic power?' The venerable Moggallana said to the venerable Sariputra, 'I did not go to the Blessed One by my psychic power, nor did the Blessed One come to me by his psychic power. However, I heard in both Sravasti and Rajagaha, because the Blessed One and I both have the divine eye and the divine ear. I was able to ask the Blessed One: 'What is meant by diligent effort? How is diligent effort defined?' The Blessed One answered me, 'Moggallana! If a bhikkhu during the day walks or sits, purifying his mind with unobstructed teachings. In the first watch of the night, if he sits or walks, purifying his mind with unobstructed teachings. In the middle watch of the night, he goes outside to wash his feet, then returns to his room, lies down on his right side, with one foot resting on the other, focusing on the sign of light, with mindfulness and clear comprehension, contemplating getting up. In the latter part of the night, he slowly awakens and slowly gets up, and if he sits or walks, purifying his mind with unobstructed teachings, Moggallana! This is called a bhikkhu's diligent effort.'


。』」

尊者舍利弗語尊者目揵連言:「汝大目揵連真為大神通力、大功德力,安坐而坐,我亦大力,得與汝俱。目揵連!譬如大山,有人持一小石,投之,大山色味悉同,我亦如是,得與尊者大力大德,同座而坐。譬如世間鮮凈好物,人皆頂戴。如是,尊者目揵連大德大力,諸梵行者皆應頂戴。諸有得遇尊者目揵連交遊往來,恭敬供養者,大得善利,今亦得與尊者大目揵連交遊往來,亦得善利。」

時,尊者大目揵連語尊者舍利弗:「我今得與大智大德尊者舍利弗同座而坐,如以小石投之大山,得同其色,我亦如是,得與尊者大智舍利弗同座而坐,為第二伴。」

時,二正士共論議已,各從座起而去。

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,尊者大目揵連在耆阇崛山。

時,釋提桓因有上妙堂觀,于夜來詣尊者大目揵連所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。時,釋提桓因光明普照耆阇崛山,周匝大明。爾時,釋提桓因坐已,即說偈言:

「能伏于慳垢,  大德隨時施,  是名施中賢,  來世見殊勝

現代漢語譯本: 尊者舍利弗對尊者目犍連說:『你大目犍連真是具有大神通力、大功德力,安穩地坐著,我也是有大力的人,能夠和你一起坐在這裡。目犍連!譬如一座大山,有人拿一塊小石頭投向它,大山的顏色和味道都會和小石頭一樣,我也是這樣,能夠和尊者你這樣的大力大德之人,同座而坐。譬如世間新鮮乾淨的好東西,人們都喜歡頂戴。像這樣,尊者目犍連具有大德大力,所有修行梵行的人都應該敬重。那些能夠遇到尊者目犍連,與他交往來往,恭敬供養的人,會得到很大的好處,現在我也能夠和尊者大目犍連交往來往,也得到了好處。』 當時,尊者大目犍連對尊者舍利弗說:『我現在能夠和具有大智慧大德的尊者舍利弗同座而坐,就像用小石頭投向大山,能夠和它顏色一樣,我也是這樣,能夠和尊者大智慧的舍利弗同座而坐,成為你的第二伴侶。』 當時,兩位正士討論完畢,各自從座位起身離開了。 《雜阿含經》卷第十八 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》

一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。當時,尊者大目犍連在耆阇崛山。

當時,釋提桓因擁有上妙的堂觀,在夜晚來到尊者大目犍連的住所,稽首禮拜他的雙足,然後退坐在一旁。當時,釋提桓因的光明普照耆阇崛山,周圍一片光明。當時,釋提桓因坐下後,就說了偈語: 『能夠降伏慳吝的污垢,大德之人隨時佈施,這被稱為佈施中的賢者,來世會見到殊勝的果報。』

English version: Venerable Sariputra said to Venerable Maudgalyayana, 'You, Great Maudgalyayana, truly possess great supernatural powers and great meritorious power. You sit so serenely, and I, too, have great power, to be able to sit with you. Maudgalyayana! It is like a great mountain, if someone throws a small stone at it, the color and taste of the mountain will be the same as the small stone. I am also like that, able to sit with you, a person of great power and virtue. It is like the fresh and clean good things in the world, which people all like to wear on their heads. Like this, Venerable Maudgalyayana has great virtue and power, all those who practice the Brahma-faring should respect him. Those who can meet Venerable Maudgalyayana, interact with him, and respectfully make offerings to him, will receive great benefits. Now I am also able to interact with Venerable Great Maudgalyayana, and I have also received benefits.' At that time, Venerable Great Maudgalyayana said to Venerable Sariputra, 'Now I am able to sit with Venerable Sariputra, who has great wisdom and virtue, just like throwing a small stone at a great mountain, it can have the same color as it. I am also like that, able to sit with Venerable Sariputra of great wisdom, and become your second companion.' At that time, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each rose from their seats and left.

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, Venerable Great Maudgalyayana was on Mount Gijjhakuta.

At that time, Sakra, Lord of the Devas, had a magnificent palace. At night, he came to the place of Venerable Great Maudgalyayana, bowed his head and paid homage to his feet, then retreated and sat to one side. At that time, the light of Sakra illuminated Mount Gijjhakuta, and the surroundings were brightly lit. At that time, after Sakra sat down, he spoke a verse: 'Able to subdue the defilement of stinginess, the virtuous one gives at all times, this is called the wise one among givers, in the next life one will see extraordinary results.'


。」

時,大目揵連問帝釋言:「憍尸迦!云何為調伏慳垢,見於殊勝,而汝說言:

「『能調伏慳垢,  大德隨時施,   是則施中賢,  來世見殊勝。』?」

時,天帝釋答言:「尊者大目揵連!勝婆羅門大姓、勝剎利大姓、勝長者大姓、勝四王天、勝三十三天,稽首敬禮故。尊者大目揵連!我為勝婆羅門大姓、勝剎利大姓、勝長者大姓、勝四王天、勝三十三天恭敬作禮,見斯果報,故說此偈。

「複次,尊者大目揵連!乃至日所周行,照于諸方,至千世界、千月千日、千須彌山王、千弗婆提舍、千郁多羅提舍、千瞿陀尼迦、千閻浮提、千四天王、千三十三天、炎摩天、兜率陀天、化樂天、他化自在天、千梵天,名為小千世界。此小千世界中無有堂觀與毗阇延堂觀等者,毗阇延有百一樓觀,觀有七重,重有七房,房有七天後,后各七侍女。尊者大目揵連!于小千世界無有如是堂觀端嚴如毗阇延者,我見是調伏慳故,有此妙果,故說斯偈。」

大目揵連語帝釋言:「善哉!善哉!憍尸迦!汝能見此勝妙果報,而說斯偈。」

時,天帝釋聞尊者大目揵連所說,歡喜隨喜,忽然不現。

(五〇五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城

現代漢語譯本 當時,大目犍連問帝釋說:『憍尸迦!如何才能調伏慳吝的污垢,見到殊勝的境界,而你說:』 『能調伏慳吝的污垢,大德之人隨時佈施,這就是佈施中的賢者,來世能見到殊勝的果報。』?』 當時,天帝釋回答說:『尊者大目犍連!我因為勝過婆羅門大姓、勝過剎帝利大姓、勝過長者大姓、勝過四王天、勝過三十三天,所以稽首敬禮。尊者大目犍連!我因為勝過婆羅門大姓、勝過剎帝利大姓、勝過長者大姓、勝過四王天、勝過三十三天而恭敬作禮,見到這樣的果報,所以說這偈頌。 『再者,尊者大目犍連!乃至太陽所照耀的範圍,照耀各個方向,達到千個世界、千個月亮、千個太陽、千座須彌山王、千個弗婆提舍、千個郁多羅提舍、千個瞿陀尼迦、千個閻浮提、千個四天王、千個三十三天、炎摩天、兜率陀天、化樂天、他化自在天、千個梵天,這被稱為小千世界。這個小千世界中沒有堂觀能與毗阇延堂觀相比的,毗阇延有百零一座樓觀,樓觀有七重,每重有七個房間,每個房間有七個天后,每個天后有七個侍女。尊者大目犍連!在小千世界中沒有像毗阇延那樣端莊美麗的堂觀,我見到調伏慳吝的緣故,有如此美妙的果報,所以說這偈頌。』 大目犍連對帝釋說:『善哉!善哉!憍尸迦!你能夠見到如此殊勝美妙的果報,而說這偈頌。』 當時,天帝釋聽到尊者大目犍連所說,歡喜隨喜,忽然消失不見。 (五〇五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城

English version Then, Mahāmaudgalyāyana asked Śakra, 『Kauśika! How does one subdue the defilement of stinginess and see the superior, that you say: 『One who subdues the defilement of stinginess, a great virtuous one gives at all times, this is the wise one among givers, and in the future will see the superior.』?』 Then, Śakra, the lord of the gods, replied, 『Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! I pay homage because I am superior to the great Brahmin families, superior to the great Kshatriya families, superior to the great householder families, superior to the Four Great Kings, and superior to the Thirty-three Gods. Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! Because I am superior to the great Brahmin families, superior to the great Kshatriya families, superior to the great householder families, superior to the Four Great Kings, and superior to the Thirty-three Gods, I pay homage and see this result, therefore I speak this verse. 『Furthermore, Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! As far as the sun travels, illuminating all directions, reaching a thousand worlds, a thousand moons, a thousand suns, a thousand Mount Sumerus, a thousand Pūrvavidehas, a thousand Aparagodāniyas, a thousand Jambudvīpas, a thousand Four Great Kings, a thousand Thirty-three Gods, the Yāma gods, the Tuṣita gods, the Nirmāṇarati gods, the Paranirmitavaśavartin gods, and a thousand Brahma gods, this is called a small chiliocosm. In this small chiliocosm, there is no palace that can compare to the palace of Vaijayanta. Vaijayanta has one hundred and one towers, the towers have seven levels, each level has seven rooms, each room has seven celestial consorts, and each consort has seven attendants. Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! In the small chiliocosm, there is no palace as beautiful and majestic as Vaijayanta. I see that because of subduing stinginess, there is this wonderful result, therefore I speak this verse.』 Mahāmaudgalyāyana said to Śakra, 『Well said! Well said, Kauśika! You are able to see such superior and wonderful results, and speak this verse.』 Then, Śakra, the lord of the gods, hearing what Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana said, rejoiced and was delighted, and suddenly disappeared. (505) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in Rājagṛha


。時,尊者大目揵連在耆阇崛山中。

爾時,尊者大目揵連獨一靜處禪思,作是念:「昔有時,釋提桓因於界隔山石窟中,問世尊愛盡解脫之義,世尊為說,聞已隨喜,似欲更有所問義,我今當往問其喜意。」作是念已,如力士屈申臂頃,于耆阇崛山沒,至三十三天,去一分陀利池不遠而住。

時,天帝釋與五百婇女遊戲浴池,有諸天女,音聲美妙。爾時,帝釋遙見尊者大目揵連,語諸天女言:「莫歌。莫歌。」時,諸天女即便默然,天帝釋即詣尊者大目犍連所,稽首禮足,退住一面。

尊者大目揵連問帝釋言:「汝先於界隔山中問世尊愛盡解脫義,聞已隨喜,汝意云何?為聞說隨喜?為更欲有所問,故隨喜耶?」

天帝釋語尊者大目揵連:「我三十三天多著放逸樂,或憶先事,或時不憶。世尊今在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園,尊者欲知我先界隔山中所問事者,今可往問世尊,如世尊說,汝當受持。然我此處有好堂觀,新成未久,可入觀看。」

時,尊者大目揵連默然受請,即與天帝釋共入堂觀。彼諸天女遙見帝釋來,皆作天樂,或歌或舞。諸天女輩著身瓔珞莊嚴之具,出妙音聲,合於五樂,如善作樂,音聲不異。諸天女輩既見尊者大目揵連,悉皆慚愧,入室藏隱

現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者大目犍連在耆阇崛山中。 那時,尊者大目犍連獨自一人在安靜的地方禪思,心中想道:『過去,釋提桓因在界隔山石窟中,向世尊請教關於愛盡解脫的意義,世尊為他解說后,他聽了非常歡喜,似乎還想繼續請教其他問題。我現在應該去問問他當時歡喜的原因。』這樣想著,他像力士屈伸手臂一樣,從耆阇崛山消失,到達三十三天,在離一分陀利池不遠的地方停了下來。 當時,天帝釋正和五百位婇女在浴池中嬉戲,那些天女的歌聲非常美妙。這時,帝釋遠遠地看見尊者大目犍連,就對天女們說:『不要唱歌了,不要唱歌了。』天女們立刻安靜下來,天帝釋隨即走到尊者大目犍連面前,向他頂禮,然後退到一旁站立。 尊者大目犍連問帝釋說:『你先前在界隔山中向世尊請教關於愛盡解脫的意義,聽了之後非常歡喜,你當時的心意如何?是因為聽了世尊的解說而歡喜呢?還是因為還想請教其他問題而歡喜呢?』 天帝釋對尊者大目犍連說:『我住在三十三天,常常沉溺於享樂,有時會想起以前的事情,有時又會忘記。世尊現在在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園,尊者如果想知道我先前在界隔山中所問的事情,現在可以去問世尊,世尊怎麼說,你就怎麼接受奉行。不過,我這裡有一座新落成的精美堂觀,你可以進去看看。』 當時,尊者大目犍連默然接受了邀請,就和天帝釋一起進入堂觀。那些天女遠遠地看見帝釋來了,都開始演奏天樂,有的唱歌,有的跳舞。天女們身上佩戴著華麗的瓔珞裝飾,發出美妙的聲音,配合著五種樂器,就像技藝高超的樂師一樣,聲音和諧動聽。天女們看見尊者大目犍連后,都感到慚愧,紛紛躲進房間里藏了起來。

English version: At that time, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana was on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa. Then, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, alone in a quiet place, was meditating and thought: 'In the past, Śakra, the lord of the gods, in a cave on the boundary mountain, asked the World Honored One about the meaning of the extinction of love and liberation. The World Honored One explained it to him, and he was delighted upon hearing it, seeming as if he wanted to ask further questions. I should now go and ask him the reason for his delight.' Having thought this, as quickly as a strong man bends and stretches his arm, he disappeared from Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa and arrived in the Thirty-three Heavens, stopping not far from the Pundarika Pond. At that time, Śakra was playing in the bathing pool with five hundred celestial maidens, and the voices of those celestial maidens were very beautiful. Then, Śakra saw the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana from afar and said to the celestial maidens, 'Do not sing. Do not sing.' The celestial maidens immediately became silent, and Śakra went to the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, bowed at his feet, and stood to one side. The Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana asked Śakra, 'You previously asked the World Honored One about the meaning of the extinction of love and liberation on the boundary mountain, and you were delighted upon hearing it. What was your intention? Were you delighted because you heard the World Honored One's explanation, or were you delighted because you wanted to ask further questions?' Śakra said to the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, 'I, in the Thirty-three Heavens, often indulge in pleasures and sometimes remember past events, and sometimes I forget them. The World Honored One is now in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rājagṛha. If you wish to know what I asked on the boundary mountain, you can now go and ask the World Honored One. As the World Honored One says, you should accept and uphold it. However, I have a beautiful new hall here, which has not been completed for long. You can go in and take a look.' Then, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana silently accepted the invitation and entered the hall with Śakra. The celestial maidens, seeing Śakra coming from afar, all began to play celestial music, some singing and some dancing. The celestial maidens wore magnificent ornaments and emitted beautiful sounds, harmonizing with the five musical instruments, like skilled musicians, their sounds were harmonious and pleasing. When the celestial maidens saw the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, they all felt ashamed and hid themselves in their rooms.


時,天帝釋語尊者大目揵連:「觀此堂觀地好平正,其壁、柱、梁、重閣、牕牖、羅網、簾障,悉皆嚴好。」

尊者大目揵連語帝釋言:「憍尸迦!先修善法福德因緣,成此妙果。」

如是,帝釋三自稱歎,問尊者大目揵連,尊者大目揵連亦再三答。

時,尊者大目揵連作是念:「今此帝釋極自放逸,著界神住,嘆此堂觀,我當令彼心生厭離。」即入三昧,以神通力,以一足指撇其堂觀,悉令震動。時,尊者大目揵連即沒不現。

諸天女眾見此堂觀震掉動搖,顛沛恐怖,東西馳走,白帝釋言:「此是憍尸迦大師,有此大功德力耶?」

時,天帝釋語諸天女:「此非我師,是大師弟子大目揵連,梵行清凈,大德大力者。」

諸天女言:「善哉!憍尸迦!乃有如此梵行大德大力同學,大師德力當復如何?」

(五〇六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住三十三天驄色虛軟石上,去波梨耶多羅、拘毗陀羅香樹不遠夏安居,為母及三十三天說法。爾時,尊者大目揵連在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園安居

現代漢語譯本 當時,天帝釋對尊者大目犍連說:『看這殿堂,看這地面多麼平整,它的墻壁、柱子、梁、重樓、窗戶、羅網、簾幕,都非常莊嚴美好。』 尊者大目犍連對帝釋說:『憍尸迦!這是因為你先前修習善法福德的因緣,才成就了這美好的果報。』 像這樣,帝釋三次自我稱讚,並詢問尊者大目犍連,尊者大目犍連也再三回答。 當時,尊者大目犍連心想:『現在這帝釋太放縱自己了,執著于界神所住之處,讚歎這殿堂,我應當讓他心生厭離。』於是進入三昧,用神通力,用一個腳趾撇動那殿堂,使它全部震動。當時,尊者大目犍連就消失不見了。 眾天女看到這殿堂震動搖晃,顛倒傾斜,驚恐萬分,東西奔跑,對帝釋說:『這是憍尸迦大師,有這麼大的功德力量嗎?』 當時,天帝釋對眾天女說:『這不是我的老師,是大師的弟子大目犍連,他修行清凈,是具有大德大力量的人。』 眾天女說:『太好了!憍尸迦!竟然有如此修行清凈、具有大德大力量的同修,大師的德行力量又該如何呢?』 (五〇六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在三十三天,在青色的柔軟石頭上,離波梨耶多羅、拘毗陀羅香樹不遠的地方安居,為母親和三十三天眾生說法。當時,尊者大目犍連在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園安居。

English version At that time, the heavenly king Śakra said to the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana: 『Look at this hall, look how level the ground is. Its walls, pillars, beams, multi-storied pavilions, windows, nets, and curtains are all magnificent and beautiful.』 The venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana said to Śakra: 『Kauśika! It is because you previously cultivated good deeds and meritorious causes that you have achieved this wonderful result.』 In this way, Śakra praised himself three times and asked the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, and the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana also answered three times. At that time, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana thought: 『Now this Śakra is indulging himself too much, attached to the dwelling of the realm gods, praising this hall. I should make him feel aversion.』 Then he entered samadhi, and with his supernatural power, he moved the hall with one toe, causing it all to shake. At that time, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana disappeared. The heavenly women saw the hall shaking and swaying, tilting and trembling, and they ran around in panic, saying to Śakra: 『Is this the great power of merit of your teacher, Kauśika?』 At that time, the heavenly king Śakra said to the heavenly women: 『This is not my teacher, but the disciple of the teacher, Mahāmaudgalyāyana, who is pure in conduct and has great virtue and power.』 The heavenly women said: 『Excellent! Kauśika! To have such a fellow practitioner who is pure in conduct and has great virtue and power, what must the virtue and power of the teacher be like?』 (506) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Thirty-three Heavens, on a soft blue stone, not far from the Pāriyātra and Kovidāra fragrant trees, observing the summer retreat, teaching the Dharma to his mother and the beings of the Thirty-three Heavens. At that time, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana was observing the summer retreat in the Jeta Grove of Anāthapiṇḍika in Śrāvastī.


時,諸四眾詣尊者大目揵連所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白尊者大目揵連:「知世尊夏安居處不?」

尊者大目揵連答言:「我聞世尊在三十三天驄色虛軟石上,去波梨耶多羅、拘毗陀羅香樹不遠夏安居,為母及三十三天說法。」

時,諸四眾聞尊者大目揵連所說,歡喜隨喜,各從座起,作禮而去。

時,諸四眾過三月安居已,復詣尊者大目揵連所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。時,尊者大目揵連為諸四眾種種說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,默然而住。

時,諸四眾從座而起,稽首作禮,白尊者大目揵連:「尊者大目揵連!當知我等不見世尊已久,眾甚虛渴欲見世尊。尊者大目揵連!若不憚勞者,愿為我等往詣三十三天,普為我等問訊世尊:『少病少惱,起居輕利,安樂住不?』又白世尊:『閻浮提四眾愿見世尊,而無神力升三十三天禮敬世尊,三十三天自有神力來下人中,唯愿世尊還閻浮提,以哀愍故。』」時,尊者大目犍連默然而許。

時,諸四眾知尊者大目犍連默然許已,各從座起,作禮而去。

爾時,尊者大目犍連知四眾去已,即入三昧,如其正受,如大力士屈伸臂頃,從舍衛國沒,於三十三天驄色虛軟石上,去波梨耶多羅、拘毗陀羅香樹不遠而現

現代漢語譯本:當時,四眾弟子來到尊者大目犍連的住所,向他頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,問尊者大目犍連:『您知道世尊在哪裡安居嗎?』 尊者大目犍連回答說:『我聽說世尊在三十三天,在驄色虛軟的石頭上,離波梨耶多羅和拘毗陀羅香樹不遠的地方安居,為他的母親和三十三天的眾神說法。』 當時,四眾弟子聽了尊者大目犍連所說,都歡喜讚歎,各自從座位上起身,行禮后離去。 過了三個月的安居期后,四眾弟子再次來到尊者大目犍連的住所,向他頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。當時,尊者大目犍連為四眾弟子宣講各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使他們歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、使他們歡喜后,便默然不語。 當時,四眾弟子從座位上起身,行禮后,對尊者大目犍連說:『尊者大目犍連!我們已經很久沒有見到世尊了,心中非常渴望見到世尊。尊者大目犍連!如果您不嫌勞累,希望您能為我們前往三十三天,代我們問候世尊:『身體是否安康,少病少惱,起居輕便,安樂自在?』並告訴世尊:『閻浮提的四眾弟子都想見到世尊,但沒有神力升到三十三天去禮敬世尊,而三十三天有神力可以來到人間,希望世尊能夠回到閻浮提,以慈悲心憐憫我們。』』當時,尊者大目犍連默許了。 當時,四眾弟子知道尊者大目犍連默許后,各自從座位上起身,行禮后離去。 那時,尊者大目犍連知道四眾弟子已經離去,便進入禪定,正如他所證得的正定一樣,像大力士屈伸手臂一樣,從舍衛國消失,出現在三十三天驄色虛軟的石頭上,離波梨耶多羅和拘毗陀羅香樹不遠的地方。

English version: At that time, the four assemblies went to the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, bowed their heads to his feet, and sat down to one side. They asked the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, 'Do you know where the World Honored One is dwelling in retreat?' The Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana replied, 'I have heard that the World Honored One is dwelling in retreat on the soft, bluish-gray stone in the Thirty-three Heavens, not far from the Pāriyātra and Kovidāra fragrant trees, teaching the Dharma to his mother and the gods of the Thirty-three Heavens.' At that time, the four assemblies, hearing what the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana had said, rejoiced and were delighted. They each rose from their seats, paid their respects, and departed. After the three-month retreat had passed, the four assemblies again went to the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, bowed their heads to his feet, and sat down to one side. At that time, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana taught the Dharma to the four assemblies in various ways, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening them. Having shown, instructed, illuminated, and gladdened them, he remained silent. At that time, the four assemblies rose from their seats, paid their respects, and said to the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, 'Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! Know that we have not seen the World Honored One for a long time, and our hearts are very thirsty to see him. Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! If you do not mind the trouble, we wish you would go to the Thirty-three Heavens for us and ask the World Honored One: 'Is your body well, with few illnesses and afflictions, your movements light and easy, and are you dwelling in peace?' Also, tell the World Honored One: 'The four assemblies of Jambudvīpa wish to see the World Honored One, but they do not have the divine power to ascend to the Thirty-three Heavens to pay their respects. The Thirty-three Heavens have the divine power to come down to the human realm. We wish that the World Honored One would return to Jambudvīpa out of compassion.' At that time, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana silently agreed. At that time, the four assemblies, knowing that the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana had silently agreed, each rose from their seats, paid their respects, and departed. Then, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, knowing that the four assemblies had left, entered into samādhi. As he had attained the right concentration, in the time it takes a strong man to stretch and bend his arm, he disappeared from Śrāvastī and appeared on the soft, bluish-gray stone in the Thirty-three Heavens, not far from the Pāriyātra and Kovidāra fragrant trees.


。爾時,世尊與三十三天眾無量眷屬圍繞說法。

時,尊者大目犍連遙見世尊,踴躍歡喜,作是念:「今日世尊,諸天大眾圍繞說法,與閻浮提眾會不異。」

爾時,世尊知尊者大目犍連心之所念,語尊者大目犍連言:「大目犍連!非為自力,我欲為諸天說法,彼即來集,欲令其去,彼即還去,彼隨心來,隨心去也。」

爾時,尊者大目犍連稽首佛足,退坐一面,白世尊言:「種種諸天大眾雲集,彼天眾中,有曾從佛世尊聞所說法,得不壞凈,身壞命終,來生於此?」

佛告尊者大目犍連:「如是,如是。此中種種諸天來雲集者,有從宿命聞法,得佛不壞凈,法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就,身壞命終,來生於此。」

時,天帝釋見世尊與尊者大目犍連嘆說,諸天眾共語已,語尊者大目犍連:「如是,如是。尊者大目犍連!此中種種眾會皆是宿命,曾聞正法,得於佛不壞凈,法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就,身壞命終,來生於此。」

時,有異比丘見世尊與尊者大目犍連及天帝釋語言善相述可已,語尊者大目犍連:「如是,如是。尊者大目犍連!是中種種諸天來會此者,皆是宿命曾聞正法,得於佛不壞凈,法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就,身壞命終,而來生此

現代漢語譯本:當時,世尊被三十三天的眾多眷屬圍繞著說法。 當時,尊者大目犍連遠遠地看見世尊,歡喜雀躍,心想:『今日世尊被諸天大眾圍繞說法,和在閻浮提的集會沒什麼兩樣。』 這時,世尊知道尊者大目犍連心中所想,就對尊者大目犍連說:『大目犍連!不是靠我自己的力量,我想要為諸天說法,他們就來聚集;想要讓他們離去,他們就離去。他們是隨心而來,隨心而去。』 當時,尊者大目犍連向佛陀的腳稽首,退坐在一旁,對世尊說:『各種各樣的天眾雲集,這些天眾中,有沒有曾經從佛世尊那裡聽聞佛法,得到不壞的清凈,身壞命終后,來到這裡出生的?』 佛陀告訴尊者大目犍連:『是的,是的。這裡各種各樣的天眾來雲集,有的是從前世聽聞佛法,得到對佛不壞的清凈,對法、僧不壞的清凈,成就聖戒,身壞命終后,來到這裡出生的。』 當時,天帝釋看見世尊和尊者大目犍連互相讚歎,與諸天眾交談后,對尊者大目犍連說:『是的,是的。尊者大目犍連!這裡各種各樣的集會都是前世曾經聽聞正法,得到對佛不壞的清凈,對法、僧不壞的清凈,成就聖戒,身壞命終后,來到這裡出生的。』 當時,有另一位比丘看見世尊和尊者大目犍連以及天帝釋互相交談,彼此贊同后,對尊者大目犍連說:『是的,是的。尊者大目犍連!這裡各種各樣的天眾來集會,都是前世曾經聽聞正法,得到對佛不壞的清凈,對法、僧不壞的清凈,成就聖戒,身壞命終后,才來到這裡出生的。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One was surrounded by a multitude of beings from the Thirty-Three Heavens, teaching the Dharma. Then, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana saw the World Honored One from afar, and with joy, thought: 'Today, the World Honored One is surrounded by a great assembly of gods, teaching the Dharma, no different from the gatherings in Jambudvipa.' At that time, the World Honored One, knowing the thoughts in the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana's mind, said to the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana: 'Mahāmaudgalyāyana! It is not by my own power. When I wish to teach the Dharma to the gods, they gather; when I wish them to leave, they depart. They come as they wish, and they leave as they wish.' Then, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana bowed at the feet of the Buddha, retreated to one side, and said to the World Honored One: 'Various assemblies of gods have gathered. Among these gods, are there any who, having heard the Dharma from the World Honored One in the past, attained indestructible purity, and after their bodies broke and their lives ended, were born here?' The Buddha told the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana: 'Yes, yes. Among the various gods who have gathered here, some have heard the Dharma in past lives, attained indestructible purity in the Buddha, indestructible purity in the Dharma and Sangha, accomplished the noble precepts, and after their bodies broke and their lives ended, were born here.' Then, Śakra, the lord of the gods, seeing the World Honored One and the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana praising each other, and after speaking with the assembly of gods, said to the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana: 'Yes, yes. Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! All the various assemblies here are from past lives, having heard the true Dharma, attained indestructible purity in the Buddha, indestructible purity in the Dharma and Sangha, accomplished the noble precepts, and after their bodies broke and their lives ended, were born here.' Then, another bhikkhu, seeing the World Honored One, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, and Śakra, the lord of the gods, conversing and agreeing with each other, said to the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana: 'Yes, yes. Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! All the various gods who have gathered here are from past lives, having heard the true Dharma, attained indestructible purity in the Buddha, indestructible purity in the Dharma and Sangha, accomplished the noble precepts, and after their bodies broke and their lives ended, were born here.'


。」

時,有一天子從座起,整衣服,偏袒右肩,合掌白佛:「世尊!我亦成就於佛不壞凈,故來生此。」

復有天子言:「我得法不壞凈。」

有言得僧不壞凈,有言聖戒成就,故來生此。如是諸天無量千數,於世尊前各自記說得須陀洹法,悉于佛前即沒不現。

時,尊者大目犍連知諸天眾去,不久從座起,整衣服,偏袒右肩,白佛言:「世尊!閻浮提四眾稽首敬禮世尊足,問訊世尊:『少病少惱,起居輕利,安樂住不?』四眾思慕,愿見世尊。又白世尊:『我等人間無有神力升三十三天禮覲世尊,然彼諸天有大德力悉能來下至閻浮提,唯愿世尊還閻浮提,愍四眾故。』」

佛告目犍連:「汝可還彼,語閻浮提人:『卻後七日,世尊當從三十三天還閻浮提僧迦舍城,于外門外優曇缽樹下。』」

尊者大目揵連受世尊教,即入三昧。譬如力士屈伸臂頃,從三十三天沒,至閻浮提,告諸四眾:「諸人當知,世尊卻後七日,從三十三天還閻浮提僧迦舍城,于外門外優曇缽樹下。」

如期七日,世尊從三十三天下閻浮提僧迦舍城優曇缽樹下,天龍鬼神,乃至梵天,悉從來下,即於此時,名此會名天下處

現代漢語譯本 當時,有一位天子從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,露出右肩,合掌向佛陀說道:『世尊!我也成就了對佛陀的不壞凈信,所以才來到這裡。』 又有天子說:『我獲得了對法的不壞凈信。』 有的說獲得了對僧的不壞凈信,有的說成就了聖戒,所以才來到這裡。像這樣,無數的天人,在世尊面前各自講述自己獲得了須陀洹果的法,說完后都在佛陀面前消失不見。 當時,尊者大目犍連知道天眾離去後,不久也從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,露出右肩,對佛陀說:『世尊!閻浮提的四眾弟子向世尊稽首敬禮,問候世尊:『是否少病少惱,起居輕便,安樂居住?』四眾弟子思念仰慕,希望能見到世尊。又稟告世尊:『我們人間沒有神力可以升到三十三天去禮拜世尊,然而那些天人有大德力,都能降臨到閻浮提,唯愿世尊返回閻浮提,憐憫四眾弟子。』 佛陀告訴目犍連:『你可以回到那裡,告訴閻浮提的人:『七天之後,世尊將從三十三天返回閻浮提的僧迦舍城,在城外優曇缽樹下。』 尊者大目犍連線受了世尊的教誨,立即進入禪定。就像力士屈伸手臂一樣,從三十三天消失,到達閻浮提,告訴四眾弟子:『諸位應當知道,世尊七天之後,將從三十三天返回閻浮提的僧迦舍城,在城外優曇缽樹下。』 到了約定的七天,世尊從三十三天下到閻浮提的僧迦舍城優曇缽樹下,天龍鬼神,乃至梵天,都從天而降,就在此時,這個集會被稱為天下處。

English version At that time, a deva arose from his seat, adjusted his robes, bared his right shoulder, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'Venerable One! I too have attained unwavering faith in the Buddha, and thus have come to be born here.' Another deva said: 'I have attained unwavering faith in the Dharma.' Some said they had attained unwavering faith in the Sangha, and some said they had perfected the noble precepts, and thus had come to be born here. In this way, countless thousands of devas, before the Venerable One, each recounted having attained the state of a Stream-enterer, and then all vanished from before the Buddha. Then, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, knowing that the assembly of devas had departed, soon arose from his seat, adjusted his robes, bared his right shoulder, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable One! The four assemblies of Jambudvipa bow their heads and pay homage to the feet of the Venerable One, inquiring of the Venerable One: 'Are you free from illness and affliction, are your movements light and easy, and do you dwell in peace?' The four assemblies are longing and yearning to see the Venerable One. They also report to the Venerable One: 'We humans do not have the divine power to ascend to the Thirty-three Heavens to pay homage to the Venerable One, but those devas have great power and are able to descend to Jambudvipa. We beseech the Venerable One to return to Jambudvipa, out of compassion for the four assemblies.' The Buddha said to Mahāmaudgalyāyana: 'You may return there and tell the people of Jambudvipa: 'In seven days, the Venerable One will return from the Thirty-three Heavens to the city of Sankasya in Jambudvipa, to the foot of the udumbara tree outside the city gate.' The Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, having received the Buddha's instruction, immediately entered samadhi. As quickly as a strong man extends and retracts his arm, he vanished from the Thirty-three Heavens and arrived in Jambudvipa, and told the four assemblies: 'You should know that in seven days, the Venerable One will return from the Thirty-three Heavens to the city of Sankasya in Jambudvipa, to the foot of the udumbara tree outside the city gate.' As scheduled, on the seventh day, the Venerable One descended from the Thirty-three Heavens to the foot of the udumbara tree in the city of Sankasya in Jambudvipa. Devas, dragons, spirits, and even Brahmas, all came down from the heavens. At that time, this gathering was called the 'Place of the Descent of the World'.


(五〇七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。時,有四十天子來詣尊者大目犍連所,稽首作禮,退坐一面。

時,尊者大目犍連語諸天子言:「善哉!諸天子!于佛不壞凈成就,法、僧不壞凈成就。」

時,四十天子從座起,整衣服,偏袒右肩,合掌白尊者大目揵連:「我得於佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就,故生天上。」有一天言:「得於佛不壞凈。」有言:「得法不壞凈。」有言:「得僧不壞凈。」有言:「聖戒成就,身壞命終,得生天上。」

時,四十天子于尊者大目犍連前,各自記說得須陀洹果,即沒不現。如四十天子。如是四百、八百、十千天子亦如是說。

(五〇八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。時,尊者大目犍連與尊者勒叉那比丘共在耆阇崛山中。

尊者勒叉那晨朝詣尊者大目犍連所,語尊者大目犍連:「共出耆阇崛山,入王舍城乞食。」時,尊者大目犍連默然而許,即共出耆阇崛山,入王舍城乞食。行至一處,尊者大目犍連心有所念,欣然微笑

現代漢語譯本 (五〇七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,有四十位天子來到尊者大目犍連那裡,向他頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。 這時,尊者大目犍連對諸位天子說:『善哉!諸位天子!你們在佛陀那裡成就了不壞的凈信,在佛法和僧團那裡也成就了不壞的凈信。』 當時,四十位天子從座位上起身,整理好衣服,袒露右肩,合掌向尊者大目犍連稟告說:『我們因為在佛陀那裡獲得了不壞的凈信,在佛法和僧團那裡也獲得了不壞的凈信,並且成就了聖戒,所以才能往生天上。』其中一位天子說:『我因為獲得了對佛陀的不壞凈信。』有的說:『我因為獲得了對佛法的不壞凈信。』有的說:『我因為獲得了對僧團的不壞凈信。』有的說:『我因為成就了聖戒,身壞命終后,才能往生天上。』 當時,四十位天子在尊者大目犍連面前,各自講述自己證得須陀洹果的經歷,說完就消失不見了。像這四十位天子一樣,四百位、八百位、一萬位天子也都是這樣說的。 (五〇八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,尊者大目犍連和尊者勒叉那比丘一同在耆阇崛山中。 尊者勒叉那早晨來到尊者大目犍連那裡,對尊者大目犍連說:『我們一起離開耆阇崛山,到王舍城去乞食吧。』當時,尊者大目犍連默然同意了,於是他們一起離開耆阇崛山,進入王舍城乞食。走到一處時,尊者大目犍連心中有所思念,欣然微笑起來。

English version (507) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, forty devas came to the Venerable Mahamoggallana, bowed their heads in reverence, and sat down to one side. Then, the Venerable Mahamoggallana said to the devas, 'Well done, devas! You have achieved unwavering faith in the Buddha, and unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha.' Then, the forty devas rose from their seats, adjusted their robes, bared their right shoulders, and with palms joined, said to the Venerable Mahamoggallana, 'We have attained birth in heaven because we have unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and have achieved the noble precepts.' One deva said, 'I attained unwavering faith in the Buddha.' Another said, 'I attained unwavering faith in the Dharma.' Another said, 'I attained unwavering faith in the Sangha.' Another said, 'I attained the noble precepts, and after the dissolution of the body, I was born in heaven.' Then, the forty devas, in the presence of the Venerable Mahamoggallana, each recounted their attainment of the Sotapanna fruit, and then vanished. Like these forty devas, four hundred, eight hundred, and ten thousand devas also spoke in the same way. (508) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the Venerable Mahamoggallana and the Venerable Lakkhaṇa Bhikkhu were together on Mount Gijjhakuta. The Venerable Lakkhaṇa, in the morning, went to the Venerable Mahamoggallana and said to him, 'Let us go out from Mount Gijjhakuta and enter Rajagriha for alms.' Then, the Venerable Mahamoggallana silently agreed, and they went out from Mount Gijjhakuta together and entered Rajagriha for alms. As they were walking, the Venerable Mahamoggallana had a thought in his mind and smiled with joy.


尊者勒叉那見微笑已,即問尊者大目犍連言:「若佛及佛弟子欣然微笑,非無因緣,尊者今日何因何緣而發微笑?」

尊者大目犍連言:「所問非時,且入王舍城乞食,還於世尊前,當問是事,是應時問,當爲汝說。」

時,尊者大目揵連與尊者勒叉那入王舍城乞食而還,洗足,舉衣缽,俱詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。尊者勒叉那問尊者大目揵連:「我今晨朝與汝共出耆阇崛山乞食,汝於一處欣然微笑,我即問汝微笑因緣,汝答我言所問非時,今復問汝何因何緣欣然微笑?」

尊者大目犍連語尊者勒叉那:「我路中見一眾生,身如樓閣,啼哭號呼,憂悲苦痛,乘虛而行。我見是已,作是思惟:『如是眾生受如此身,而有如是憂悲大苦。』故發微笑。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「善哉!善哉!我聲聞中,住實眼、實智、實義、實法,決定通達,見是眾生,我亦見此眾生,而不說者,恐人不信。所以者何?如來所說,有不信者,是愚癡人長夜受苦。」

佛告諸比丘:「過去世時,彼大身眾生在此王舍城,為屠牛兒,以屠牛因緣故,于百千歲墮地獄中,從地獄出,有屠牛餘罪,得如是身,常受如是憂悲惱苦。如是,諸比丘!如尊者大目犍連所見不異,汝等受持

尊者勒叉那看到大目犍連微笑后,便問大目犍連說:『佛陀和佛陀的弟子們如果高興地微笑,一定不是沒有原因的。尊者今天是因為什麼原因而微笑呢?』 尊者大目犍連說:『現在問這個問題不是時候,我們先去王舍城乞食,回來在世尊面前,再問這件事,那時問才合適,我再告訴你。』 當時,尊者大目犍連和尊者勒叉那進入王舍城乞食后返回,洗完腳,拿起衣缽,一起到佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。尊者勒叉那問尊者大目犍連:『我今天早上和你一起從耆阇崛山出來乞食,你在一處高興地微笑,我當時就問你微笑的原因,你回答我說現在問不是時候,現在我再問你,你是因為什麼原因而高興地微笑呢?』 尊者大目犍連對尊者勒叉那說:『我在路上看到一個眾生,身體像樓閣一樣巨大,啼哭號叫,憂愁悲傷痛苦,在空中行走。我看到這種情況后,就想:『這樣的眾生承受這樣的身體,而且有這樣憂愁悲傷的巨大痛苦。』所以就笑了。』 這時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『好啊!好啊!我的聲聞弟子中,有真實眼、真實智慧、真實意義、真實法,能夠確定通達,看到這個眾生。我也看到了這個眾生,但是沒有說出來,是怕人們不相信。為什麼呢?因為如來說的話,如果有人不相信,這些愚癡的人就會長久地遭受痛苦。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『在過去世的時候,那個身體巨大的眾生,就在這王舍城,是一個屠牛的人,因為屠牛的緣故,在千百年來墮入地獄中,從地獄出來后,還有屠牛的剩餘罪業,所以得到這樣的身體,常常遭受這樣的憂愁悲傷的痛苦。就是這樣,各位比丘!就像尊者大目犍連所見到的那樣,沒有不同,你們要接受並記住。』

Venerable Lakkhaṇa, seeing Mahāmaudgalyāyana smile, asked him, 'If the Buddha and his disciples smile with joy, it is not without reason. Venerable, what is the cause and reason for your smile today?' Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana said, 'It is not the right time to ask that question. Let us first go to Rājagṛha for alms. When we return to the presence of the Blessed One, then ask about this matter. That will be the right time to ask, and I will tell you.' Then, Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana and Venerable Lakkhaṇa went to Rājagṛha for alms and returned. After washing their feet, they took their robes and bowls and went together to the Buddha. They bowed at the Buddha's feet and sat down to one side. Venerable Lakkhaṇa asked Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, 'This morning, when we went out from Gṛdhrakūṭa Mountain for alms, you smiled with joy at one place. I asked you then the reason for your smile, and you replied that it was not the right time to ask. Now I ask you again, what is the cause and reason for your joyful smile?' Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana said to Venerable Lakkhaṇa, 'On the road, I saw a being whose body was like a mansion, crying and wailing, full of sorrow and pain, moving through the air. Having seen this, I thought, 『Such a being suffers such a body and has such great sorrow and pain.』 Therefore, I smiled.' At that time, the Blessed One said to the monks, 'Well done! Well done! Among my disciples, there are those who possess true vision, true wisdom, true meaning, and true Dharma, who have definitively understood and seen this being. I also saw this being, but I did not speak of it, for fear that people would not believe it. Why is that? Because if someone does not believe what the Tathāgata says, that foolish person will suffer for a long time.' The Buddha told the monks, 'In the past, that being with the large body was in this Rājagṛha, a butcher of cows. Because of the act of butchering cows, he fell into hell for hundreds of thousands of years. After coming out of hell, there was still residual karma from butchering cows, so he obtained such a body and constantly suffers such sorrow and pain. Thus, monks, what Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana saw is not different. You should accept and remember this.'

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,尊者大目犍連與尊者勒叉那在耆阇崛山。

尊者勒叉那于晨朝時詣尊者大目犍連所,語尊者大目犍連:「共出耆阇崛山,入王舍城乞食。」尊者大目犍連默然而許,即共出耆阇崛山,入王舍城乞食。

行至一處,尊者大目犍連心有所念,欣然微笑。尊者勒叉那見尊者大目犍連微笑,即問言:「尊者!若佛及佛聲聞弟子欣然微笑,非無因緣,尊者今日何因何緣而發微笑?」

尊者大目犍連言:「所問非時,且乞食,還於世尊前,當問是事,是應時問。」

尊者大目犍連與尊者勒叉那共入城乞食,食已還,洗足,舉衣缽,俱詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。尊者勒叉那問尊者大目犍連:「我今晨朝與汝共入王舍城乞食,汝於一處欣然微笑,我即問汝何因緣笑,汝答我言所問非時,我今問汝何因何緣欣然微笑?」

尊者大目犍連語尊者勒叉那:「我于路中見一眾生,筋骨相連,舉身不凈,臭穢可厭,烏、鴟、雕、鷲、野干、餓狗隨而護食,或從脅肋探其內藏而取食之,極大苦痛,啼哭號呼

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (五〇九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,尊者大目犍連和尊者勒叉那在耆阇崛山。 尊者勒叉那在早晨的時候來到尊者大目犍連那裡,對尊者大目犍連說:『一起離開耆阇崛山,到王舍城去乞食吧。』尊者大目犍連默默地答應了,就一起離開耆阇崛山,到王舍城去乞食。 走到一處,尊者大目犍連心中有所思念,欣然微笑。尊者勒叉那看到尊者大目犍連微笑,就問:『尊者!如果佛陀和佛陀的聲聞弟子欣然微笑,一定不是沒有原因的,尊者今天因為什麼原因而微笑呢?』 尊者大目犍連說:『現在問這個問題不是時候,先去乞食,回來到世尊面前,再問這件事,那時問才合適。』 尊者大目犍連和尊者勒叉那一起進城乞食,吃完飯後回來,洗了腳,拿起衣缽,一起到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。尊者勒叉那問尊者大目犍連:『我今天早上和你一起到王舍城乞食,你在一個地方欣然微笑,我當時就問你為什麼笑,你回答我說現在問不是時候,我現在問你,你是因為什麼原因而欣然微笑?』 尊者大目犍連對尊者勒叉那說:『我在路上看到一個眾生,筋骨相連,全身不乾淨,又臭又臟,令人厭惡,烏鴉、老鷹、雕、鷲、野狗、餓狗跟在後面守護著食物,有的從脅肋探取內臟來吃,非常痛苦,啼哭號叫。』

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (509) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the Venerable Maha Maudgalyayana and the Venerable Lakshana were on Mount Gijjhakuta. In the morning, the Venerable Lakshana went to the Venerable Maha Maudgalyayana and said to him, 'Let us leave Mount Gijjhakuta together and go to Rajagriha to beg for alms.' The Venerable Maha Maudgalyayana silently agreed, and they left Mount Gijjhakuta together and went to Rajagriha to beg for alms. As they were walking, the Venerable Maha Maudgalyayana had a thought in his mind and smiled with joy. The Venerable Lakshana, seeing the Venerable Maha Maudgalyayana smile, asked, 'Venerable one! If the Buddha and the Buddha's disciples smile with joy, it is not without a reason. What is the reason for your smile today?' The Venerable Maha Maudgalyayana said, 'It is not the right time to ask. Let us first beg for alms, and when we return to the presence of the World Honored One, then you can ask about this matter. That will be the right time to ask.' The Venerable Maha Maudgalyayana and the Venerable Lakshana went into the city together to beg for alms. After eating, they returned, washed their feet, picked up their robes and bowls, and together went to the Buddha. They bowed at the Buddha's feet and sat down to one side. The Venerable Lakshana asked the Venerable Maha Maudgalyayana, 'This morning, I went with you to Rajagriha to beg for alms. In one place, you smiled with joy. I asked you then why you were smiling, and you replied that it was not the right time to ask. Now I ask you, what was the reason for your joyful smile?' The Venerable Maha Maudgalyayana said to the Venerable Lakshana, 'On the road, I saw a being whose bones were connected, whose whole body was unclean, foul-smelling, and disgusting. Crows, eagles, vultures, jackals, and hungry dogs followed behind, guarding the food. Some were probing their ribs to take out their internal organs to eat. They were in great pain, crying and wailing.'


。我見是已,心即念言:『如是眾生得如是身,而受如是不饒益苦。』」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「善哉!比丘!我聲聞中住實眼、實智、實義、實法,決定通達,見如是眾生。我亦見是眾生,而不說者,恐不信故。所以者何?如來所說,有不信者,是愚癡人長夜當受不饒益苦。諸比丘!是眾生者,過去世時,於此王舍城為屠牛弟子,緣屠牛罪故,已百千歲墮地獄中受無量苦,彼屠牛惡行餘罪緣故,今得此身,續受如是不饒益苦。諸比丘!如大目揵連所見,真實不異,汝等受持。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(五一〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。尊者大目犍連與尊者勒叉那在耆阇崛山中。

尊者勒叉那于晨朝時詣尊者大目犍連所,語尊者大目犍連:「共出耆阇崛山,入王舍城乞食。」尊者大目犍連默然而許,即共出耆阇崛山,入王舍城乞食。

行至一處,尊者大目犍連心有所念,欣然微笑。尊者勒叉那見尊者大目犍連微笑,即問言:「尊者!若佛及佛聲聞弟子欣然微笑,非無因緣,尊者今日何因何緣而發微笑?」

尊者大目犍連言:「所問非時,且乞食,還於世尊前,當問是事,是應時問

現代漢語譯本:我看到這種情況,心中就想:『這些眾生得到了這樣的身體,卻遭受如此不饒益的痛苦。』 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『好啊!比丘們!我的聲聞弟子中,有具備真實的眼力、真實的智慧、真實的意義、真實的法,能夠確定通達,見到這樣的眾生。我也見到這些眾生,但沒有說出來,是怕他們不相信。為什麼呢?如來所說,有不相信的人,這些愚癡的人將長久地遭受不饒益的痛苦。比丘們!這些眾生,在過去世時,在這王舍城做過屠牛的弟子,因為屠牛的罪過,已經在地獄中受了百千年的無量痛苦。他們因為屠牛的惡行所剩餘的罪業,現在才得到這樣的身體,繼續遭受如此不饒益的痛苦。比丘們!正如大目犍連所見,真實不虛,你們應當受持。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (五一〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。尊者大目犍連和尊者勒叉那在耆阇崛山中。 尊者勒叉那在早晨的時候來到尊者大目犍連那裡,對尊者大目犍連說:『一起出耆阇崛山,到王舍城去乞食吧。』尊者大目犍連默默地答應了,就一起出了耆阇崛山,到王舍城去乞食。 走到一處,尊者大目犍連心中有所思念,欣然微笑。尊者勒叉那看到尊者大目犍連微笑,就問:『尊者!如果佛和佛的聲聞弟子欣然微笑,一定不是沒有原因的,尊者今天因為什麼原因而發笑呢?』 尊者大目犍連說:『現在不是問這個的時候,先去乞食,回到世尊面前,再問這件事,那時問才合適。』

English version: 'Having seen this, I thought in my heart: 『These beings have obtained such a body, and yet suffer such unbeneficial pain.』' At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 『Good, monks! Among my disciples who are hearers, there are those who possess true vision, true wisdom, true meaning, and true Dharma, who can definitively understand and see such beings. I also saw these beings, but did not speak of it, for fear that they would not believe. Why is that? What the Tathagata says, if there are those who do not believe, these foolish people will suffer unbeneficial pain for a long time. Monks! These beings, in their past lives, were disciples who slaughtered cows in this city of Rajagriha. Because of the sin of slaughtering cows, they have already suffered immeasurable pain in hell for hundreds of thousands of years. Because of the remaining sins of their evil deeds of slaughtering cows, they now have obtained this body and continue to suffer such unbeneficial pain. Monks! Just as Mahamoggallana has seen, it is true and not different, you should uphold it.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (510) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Venerable Mahamoggallana and Venerable Lakkhaṇa were on Mount Gijjhakuta. Venerable Lakkhaṇa, in the morning, went to Venerable Mahamoggallana and said to Venerable Mahamoggallana: 『Let us go out of Mount Gijjhakuta and go to Rajagriha to beg for alms.』 Venerable Mahamoggallana silently agreed, and they went out of Mount Gijjhakuta together to beg for alms in Rajagriha. While walking to a certain place, Venerable Mahamoggallana had a thought in his mind and smiled with joy. Venerable Lakkhaṇa, seeing Venerable Mahamoggallana smile, asked: 『Venerable one! If the Buddha and the Buddha's disciples who are hearers smile with joy, it is certainly not without a reason. What is the reason that the Venerable one smiles today?』 Venerable Mahamoggallana said: 『Now is not the time to ask this. Let us first go beg for alms, and when we return to the presence of the World Honored One, then ask about this matter. That will be the appropriate time to ask.』


。」

尊者大目犍連與尊者勒叉那共入城乞食已,還洗足,舉衣缽,俱詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。尊者勒叉那問尊者大目犍連:「我今晨朝共入王舍城乞食,汝於一處欣然微笑,我即問汝微笑因緣,汝答我言所問非時,我今問汝何因何緣欣然微笑?」

尊者大目犍連語勒叉那:「我于路中見一大身眾生,舉身無皮,純一肉段,乘空而行,烏、鴟、雕、鷲、野干、餓狗隨而護食,或從脅肋探其內藏而取食之,苦痛切迫,啼哭號呼。我即思惟:『如是眾生得如是身,乃受如是不饒益苦。』」

佛告諸比丘:「善哉!比丘!我聲聞中,住實眼、實智、實義、實法,決定通達,見是眾生,我亦見是眾生,而不說者,恐不信故。所以者何?如來所說,有不信者,是愚癡人長夜當受不饒益苦。諸比丘!是眾生者,過去世時,於此王舍城為屠羊者,緣斯罪故,已百千歲墮地獄中受無量苦,今得此身,餘罪緣故,續受斯苦。諸比丘!如大目犍連所見,真實無異,汝等受持。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(五一一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城,乃至尊者大目犍連於路中見一大身眾生,舉體無皮,形如脯臘,乘虛而行

現代漢語譯本 尊者大目犍連和尊者勒叉那一起進城乞食后,洗完腳,拿起衣缽,一同前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁。尊者勒叉那問尊者大目犍連:『今天早上我與你一同進入王舍城乞食,你在一處欣然微笑,我當時就問你微笑的原因,你回答我說現在不是問的時候。我現在問你,是什麼原因讓你欣然微笑?』 尊者大目犍連對勒叉那說:『我在路上看見一個巨大的眾生,全身沒有面板,純粹是一塊肉,在空中行走,烏鴉、鴟、雕、鷲、野干、餓狗跟在後面爭食,有的從脅肋探取內臟吃,痛苦萬分,啼哭號叫。我當時就想:『這樣的眾生得到這樣的身體,遭受如此不饒益的痛苦。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『好啊!比丘們!我的聲聞弟子中,有住于實眼、實智、實義、實法,能夠決定通達的人,他們能看見這樣的眾生。我也看見了這樣的眾生,但沒有說出來,是怕你們不相信。為什麼呢?因為如來說的話,有不相信的人,這些愚癡的人將長夜遭受不饒益的痛苦。比丘們!這個眾生,在過去世時,在這王舍城裡是屠羊的人,因為這個罪過,已經在地獄中受了百千年的無量痛苦,現在得到這樣的身體,是因為餘罪的緣故,繼續遭受這樣的痛苦。比丘們!正如大目犍連所見,真實不虛,你們應當受持。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (五一一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城,乃至尊者大目犍連在路上看見一個巨大的眾生,全身沒有面板,形狀像肉乾,在空中行走。

English version The Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana and the Venerable Lakṣaṇa, having gone into the city for alms, washed their feet, picked up their robes and bowls, and together went to where the Buddha was. They bowed at the Buddha's feet and sat down to one side. The Venerable Lakṣaṇa asked the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, 'This morning, when we went into Rājagṛha for alms, you smiled with delight at one place. I asked you the reason for your smile, and you replied that it was not the right time to ask. Now I ask you, what was the cause and reason for your smiling with delight?' The Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana said to Lakṣaṇa, 'On the road, I saw a large being, whose entire body was without skin, just a mass of flesh, moving through the air. Crows, kites, eagles, vultures, jackals, and hungry dogs followed it, vying for food. Some would probe its insides from its ribs to take food, causing it intense pain, and it cried and wailed. I thought to myself, 『Such a being has obtained such a body and is suffering such unbeneficial pain.』' The Buddha told the monks, 'Well done, monks! Among my disciples, those who dwell in true vision, true wisdom, true meaning, and true Dharma, who have definitive understanding, see such beings. I also saw such a being, but I did not speak of it, for fear that you would not believe it. Why is that? Because if the Tathāgata speaks and there are those who do not believe, those foolish people will suffer unbeneficial pain for a long time. Monks! This being, in a past life, was a sheep butcher in this city of Rājagṛha. Because of this sin, he has suffered immeasurable pain in hell for hundreds of thousands of years. Now he has obtained this body, and because of the remaining sin, he continues to suffer this pain. Monks! What Mahāmaudgalyāyana saw is true and without error. You should uphold it.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (511) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in Rājagṛha, and the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana saw a large being on the road, whose entire body was without skin, shaped like dried meat, moving through the air.


。乃至佛告諸比丘:「此眾生者,過去世時,於此王舍城為屠羊弟子,屠羊罪故,已百千歲墮地獄中受無量苦,今得此身,續受斯罪。諸比丘!如大目犍連所見,真實無異,當受持之。」

English version: Then the Buddha told the monks, 『This being, in a past life, was a disciple of a sheep butcher in this city of Rajagriha. Due to the sin of butchering sheep, he has suffered immeasurable pain in hell for hundreds of thousands of years. Now he has obtained this body and continues to suffer this retribution. Monks! What Maha Maudgalyayana saw is true and without error; you should accept and uphold it.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. English version: Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in Rajagriha. (Maha Maudgalyayana) saw on the road a large being, whose entire body was without skin, shaped like a piece of meat, walking in the air. (Maha Maudgalyayana) Then the Buddha told the monks, 『This being, in a past life, aborted his own child in this city of Rajagriha.

(Maha Maudgalyayana) Then the Buddha told the monks, 『This being, in a past life, was a trainer of elephants in this city of Rajagriha. Due to this sin, he has suffered immeasurable pain in hell for hundreds of thousands of years. Because of the remaining sin from hell, he has now obtained this body and continues to suffer this pain. Monks! What Maha Maudgalyayana saw is true and without error; you should accept and uphold it.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

Then, the Venerable Mahamudgalyayana saw on the road a being of enormous size, whose entire body was covered with hair. The hair was as sharp as knives, and it was ablaze with fire, cutting back into his body, causing pain that pierced to the marrow. Then the Buddha told the monks, 'This being, in a past life, in this Rajagriha, enjoyed fighting and harming others with swords. He has already suffered immeasurable pain in hell for hundreds of thousands of years. As a result of the remaining karmic debt from hell, he has now obtained this body and continues to suffer this pain. Monks! What Mahamudgalyayana has seen is true and not different.

現代漢語譯本:甚至佛陀告訴眾比丘:『這個眾生,在過去世時,在這王舍城做屠豬人,殘殺眾豬,因為這個罪過,已經在地獄中受了百千年的無量痛苦,地獄的餘罪,今生得到這個身體,繼續承受這種痛苦。諸位比丘!就像大目犍連所見到的那樣,真實不虛,應當受持。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (五一七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城,乃至我在路上看到一個巨大的無頭眾生,兩邊長著眼睛,胸前長著嘴巴,身體常常流血,被蟲子啃食,疼痛徹骨。甚至佛陀告訴眾比丘:『這個眾生,在過去世時,在這王舍城喜歡砍人頭,因為這個罪過,已經在地獄中受了百千年的無量痛苦,今生得到這個身體,繼續承受這種痛苦。諸位比丘!就像大目犍連所見到的那樣,真實不虛,應當受持。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 像砍人頭一樣,抓人頭也是如此。 (五一八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城。乃至我在路上看到一個眾生,陰囊像甕一樣大,坐著就坐在上面,走的時候就用肩膀扛著。甚至佛陀告訴眾比丘:『這個眾生,在過去世時,在王舍城做鍛銅匠,用假器物欺騙人,因為這個罪過,已經在地獄中受了無量痛苦,地獄的餘罪,今生得到這個身體,繼續承受這種痛苦。諸位比丘!就像大目犍連所見到的那樣,真實不虛,應當受持。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 像鍛銅匠一樣,用斗秤欺騙人、村長、市場管理者,也是如此。

English version: Furthermore, the Buddha told the monks, 'This being, in a past life, was a pig butcher in this city of Rajagriha. He slaughtered many pigs, and because of this sin, he has suffered immeasurable pain in hell for hundreds of thousands of years. The remaining karmic debt from hell has resulted in this body, and he continues to suffer this pain. Monks! What Maha Maudgalyayana saw is true and not different. You should uphold it.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (517) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in Rajagriha. I saw a large, headless being on the road, with eyes on both sides and a mouth on its chest. Its body was constantly bleeding, and insects were devouring it, causing pain that pierced to the bone. Furthermore, the Buddha told the monks, 'This being, in a past life, enjoyed beheading people in this city of Rajagriha. Because of this sin, he has suffered immeasurable pain in hell for hundreds of thousands of years. Now he has this body and continues to suffer this pain. Monks! What Maha Maudgalyayana saw is true and not different. You should uphold it.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Like beheading people, grasping their heads is also the same. (518) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in Rajagriha. I saw a being on the road whose scrotum was as large as a jar. When it sat, it sat on it, and when it walked, it carried it on its shoulders. Furthermore, the Buddha told the monks, 'This being, in a past life, was a coppersmith in Rajagriha who deceived people with fake utensils. Because of this sin, he has suffered immeasurable pain in hell. The remaining karmic debt from hell has resulted in this body, and he continues to suffer this pain. Monks! What Maha Maudgalyayana saw is true and not different. You should uphold it.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Like the coppersmith, those who deceive people with scales and measures, village chiefs, and market supervisors are also the same.

English version (519) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Rajagriha. On the road, he saw a being whose body was entangled in a net of copper and iron, with flames constantly burning, which in turn burned his body, causing pain that pierced to the marrow, and he traveled through the air. The Buddha told the monks, 'This being, in a past life, was a fisherman in this Rajagriha. Because of this sin, he has already suffered immeasurable pain in hell. The remaining sins of hell have caused him to receive this body, and he continues to suffer this pain. Monks! What Maha Maudgalyayana saw is true and not different, you should uphold it.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Like the fisherman, those who catch birds and net rabbits are also like this. (520) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Rajagriha. On the road, he saw a being with an iron millstone on his head, filled with blazing fire, which turned and ground his head. He traveled through the air, suffering immeasurable pain. The Buddha told the monks, 'This being, in a past life, was a fortune-telling woman in this Rajagriha. She used improper methods of divination, deceiving and confusing people to seek wealth. Because of this sin, she has already suffered immeasurable pain in hell. The remaining sins of hell have caused her to receive this body, and she continues to suffer this pain. Monks! What Maha Maudgalyayana saw is true and not different, you should uphold it.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (521) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Rajagriha. On the road, he saw a being whose body was spinning alone, like a whirlwind, and he traveled through the air.


。乃至佛告諸比丘:「此眾生者,過去世時,於此王舍城為卜占師,誤惑多人,以求財物,緣斯罪故,已地獄中受無量苦,地獄餘罪,今得此身,續受斯苦。諸比丘!如大目犍連所見,真實不異,當受持之。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。時,尊者大目犍連、尊者勒叉那比丘晨朝共入波羅㮈城乞食,于路中,尊者大目犍連思惟顧念,欣然微笑。

時,尊者勒叉那白尊者大目犍連言:「世尊及世尊弟子欣然微笑,必有因緣,何緣尊者今日欣然微笑?」

尊者大目犍連語尊者勒叉那:「此非時問,且乞食,還詣世尊前,當問此事。」

時,俱入城乞食,還洗足,舉衣缽,俱詣世尊,稽首禮足,退坐一面

現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴眾比丘:『這個眾生,在過去世時,在這王舍城做占卜師,用迷惑的手段欺騙了很多人,以此來獲取錢財。因為這個罪過,他已經在地獄中遭受了無量的痛苦。地獄的罪報結束后,今生得到這樣的身體,繼續承受這樣的痛苦。諸位比丘!正如大目犍連所見,真實不虛,你們應當接受並奉行。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 現代漢語譯本:我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城。在路上,佛陀看到一個眾生,彎著腰,躲躲藏藏地行走,樣子很恐懼。他全身都著火,火焰還燒著他的身體,在空中行走。佛陀告訴眾比丘:『這個眾生,在過去世時,在這王舍城喜歡與他人發生不正當的性關係。因為這個罪過,他已經在地獄中遭受了無量的痛苦。地獄的罪報結束后,今生得到這樣的身體,繼續承受這樣的痛苦。諸位比丘!正如大目犍連所見,真實不虛,你們應當接受並奉行。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 現代漢語譯本:我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中。當時,尊者大目犍連和尊者勒叉那比丘早上一起進入波羅奈城乞食。在路上,尊者大目犍連思考著什麼,欣然微笑。 當時,尊者勒叉那對尊者大目犍連說:『世尊和世尊的弟子欣然微笑,必定有原因。是什麼原因讓尊者今天如此欣然微笑呢?』 尊者大目犍連對尊者勒叉那說:『現在不是問這個的時候,先去乞食,回來到世尊面前,再問這件事。』 當時,他們一起進城乞食,回來洗完腳,拿起衣缽,一起去見世尊,向世尊頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。

English version: The Buddha told the monks, 'This being, in a past life, was a fortune teller in this city of Rajagriha. He deceived many people with his misleading practices to gain wealth. Because of this sin, he has suffered immeasurable pain in hell. After his time in hell, he has now obtained this body and continues to suffer. Monks! What Mahamudgalyayana saw is true and not different. You should accept and practice it.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them. English version: Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in Rajagriha. On the road, the Buddha saw a being, hunched over and walking furtively, looking terrified. His whole body was on fire, and the flames were burning him as he walked through the air. The Buddha told the monks, 'This being, in a past life, in this city of Rajagriha, was fond of engaging in illicit sexual relations. Because of this sin, he has suffered immeasurable pain in hell. After his time in hell, he has now obtained this body and continues to suffer. Monks! What Mahamudgalyayana saw is true and not different. You should accept and practice it.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them. English version: Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Deer Park at the hermitage of the ascetics in the country of Varanasi. At that time, the venerable Mahamudgalyayana and the venerable Lakshana Bhikshu went together to the city of Varanasi to beg for alms in the morning. On the road, the venerable Mahamudgalyayana was contemplating something and smiled with joy. Then, the venerable Lakshana said to the venerable Mahamudgalyayana, 'When the World Honored One and the World Honored One's disciples smile with joy, there must be a reason. What is the reason that the venerable one is smiling with such joy today?' The venerable Mahamudgalyayana said to the venerable Lakshana, 'This is not the time to ask. Let's go beg for alms first, and when we return to the World Honored One, we can ask about this matter.' Then, they went together into the city to beg for alms. After returning, they washed their feet, picked up their robes and bowls, and went together to see the World Honored One. They bowed at the World Honored One's feet and then sat down to one side.


。時,尊者勒叉那問尊者大目犍連:「晨朝路中何因何緣欣然微笑?」

尊者大目犍連語尊者勒叉那:「我于路中見一大身眾生,舉體膿壞,臭穢不凈,乘虛而行,烏、鴟、雕、鷲、野干、餓狗隨逐護食,啼哭號呼,我念眾生得如是身,受如是苦,一何痛哉!」

佛告諸比丘:「我亦見此眾生,而不說者,恐不信故。所以者何?如來所說,有不信者,是愚癡人長夜受苦。此眾生者,過去世時,於此波羅㮈城為女人賣色自活。時,有比丘于迦葉佛所出家,彼女人以不清凈心請彼比丘,比丘直心受請,不解其意,女人瞋恚,以不凈水灑比丘身,緣斯罪故,已地獄中受無量苦,地獄餘罪,今得此身,續受斯苦。諸比丘!如大目犍連所見,真實不異,當受持之。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。乃至我于路中見一大身眾生,舉體火然,乘虛而行,啼哭號呼,受諸苦痛。乃至佛告諸比丘:「此眾生者,過去世時,於此波羅㮈城為自在王第一夫人,與王共宿,起瞋恚心,以然燈油灑王身上,緣斯罪故,已地獄中受無量苦,地獄餘罪,今得此身,續受斯苦。諸比丘!如大目犍連所見,真實不異,當受持之

現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者勒叉那問尊者大目犍連:『早晨在路上,您因何事而高興地微笑?』 尊者大目犍連告訴尊者勒叉那:『我在路上看到一個巨大的眾生,全身潰爛,散發著惡臭,污穢不堪,在空中行走。烏鴉、鷂鷹、雕、鷲、野狗、餓狗跟在後面爭食,它啼哭號叫。我想到眾生竟然會得到這樣的身體,遭受這樣的痛苦,真是太悲慘了!』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『我也看到了這個眾生,但沒有說出來,是怕你們不相信。為什麼呢?因為如來說的話,如果有人不相信,那這個人就會因為愚癡而長久地受苦。這個眾生,在過去世時,在這波羅奈城裡是一個靠賣淫為生的女人。當時,有一位比丘在迦葉佛那裡出家,這個女人用不清凈的心邀請那位比丘,比丘心地正直地接受了邀請,沒有理解她的意思。女人因此生氣,用不乾淨的水潑了比丘一身。因為這個罪過,她已經在地獄中受了無量的苦。地獄的罪報結束后,現在得到這樣的身體,繼續遭受這樣的痛苦。各位比丘!大目犍連所見到的,真實不虛,你們應當接受並奉行。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 (五二四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中。乃至我(大目犍連)在路上看到一個巨大的眾生,全身燃燒著火焰,在空中行走,啼哭號叫,遭受各種痛苦。乃至佛陀告訴眾比丘:『這個眾生,在過去世時,在這波羅奈城裡是自在王的第一夫人。她和國王同寢時,心生嗔恨,把點燃的燈油潑在國王身上。因為這個罪過,她已經在地獄中受了無量的苦。地獄的罪報結束后,現在得到這樣的身體,繼續遭受這樣的痛苦。各位比丘!大目犍連所見到的,真實不虛,你們應當接受並奉行。』

English version: At that time, Venerable Lakkhaṇa asked Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, 'Why were you smiling happily on the road this morning?' Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana told Venerable Lakkhaṇa, 'On the road, I saw a huge being, its entire body festering with pus, emitting a foul odor, and unclean, walking in the air. Crows, hawks, eagles, vultures, jackals, and hungry dogs followed behind, vying for food. It was crying and wailing. I thought about how beings could obtain such a body and suffer such pain, it is truly miserable!' The Buddha told the monks, 'I also saw this being, but I did not speak of it, for fear that you would not believe it. Why is that? Because if someone does not believe what the Tathagata says, that person will suffer long into the night due to their ignorance. This being, in a past life, was a woman in this city of Varanasi who made a living by selling her body. At that time, there was a monk who had left home under the Buddha Kāśyapa. This woman invited that monk with an impure heart. The monk accepted the invitation with a pure heart, not understanding her intentions. The woman became angry and splashed unclean water on the monk's body. Because of this sin, she has suffered immeasurable pain in hell. After the suffering in hell ended, she now has this body and continues to suffer. Monks! What Mahāmaudgalyāyana saw is true and not different, you should accept and practice it.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them. (524) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at the hermitage of the ascetics in the country of Varanasi. And then I (Mahāmaudgalyāyana) saw a huge being on the road, its entire body ablaze with fire, walking in the air, crying and wailing, suffering all kinds of pain. And then the Buddha told the monks, 'This being, in a past life, was the first wife of the sovereign king in this city of Varanasi. When she was sleeping with the king, she became angry and poured burning lamp oil on the king's body. Because of this sin, she has suffered immeasurable pain in hell. After the suffering in hell ended, she now has this body and continues to suffer. Monks! What Mahāmaudgalyāyana saw is true and not different, you should accept and practice it.'

English version (527) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. Then, the Venerable Maha Maudgalyayana said: 'On the road, I saw a being with a huge body, from whose body fiery iron balls were going in and out. It was moving through the air, suffering intense pain, crying and wailing.' The Buddha told the monks: 'This being, in a past life, had left home and become a novice monk in the Dharma of the Buddha Kasyapa in this Sravasti. Later, he was in charge of guarding the monastic orchard. He stole seven fruits and offered them to his preceptor. Because of this sin, he has suffered immeasurable pain in hell. The remaining karmic debt from hell has caused him to obtain this body, and he continues to suffer this pain. Monks! What Maha Maudgalyayana saw is true and not different. You should uphold it.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (528) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Sravasti. Then, the Venerable Maha Maudgalyayana said: 'On the road, I saw a being with a huge body, whose tongue was wide and long. I saw a sharp axe, with blazing fire, cutting his tongue. He was moving through the air, crying and wailing.' The Buddha told the monks: 'This being, in a past life, had left home and become a novice monk in the Dharma of the Buddha Kasyapa in this Sravasti. He used an axe to break open rock candy to offer to the monastic community. He stole and ate the rock candy that was stuck to the axe blade. Because of this sin, he suffered immeasurable pain in hell. The remaining karmic debt from hell has caused him to obtain this body, and he continues to suffer this pain. Monks! What Maha Maudgalyayana saw is true and not different. You should uphold it.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (529) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Sravasti.


。乃至尊者大目犍連言:「我于路中見是大身眾生,有雙鐵輪在兩脅下,熾然旋轉,還燒其身,乘虛而行,啼哭號呼。」乃至佛告諸比丘:「此眾生者,過去世時,於此舍衛國迦葉佛法中出家作沙彌,持石蜜䴵供養眾僧,盜取二䴵著于掖下,緣斯罪故,已地獄中受無量苦,地獄餘罪,今得此身,續受斯苦。諸比丘!如大目犍連所見,真實不異,當受持之。」

English version: Then the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana said, 'On the road, I saw a huge being with two iron wheels under its flanks, burning and spinning, which in turn burned its body. It was moving through the air, crying and wailing.' Then the Buddha told the monks, 'This being, in a past life, had left home to become a novice monk in the Dharma of the Buddha Kāśyapa in this Śrāvastī. He offered rock candy cakes to the monastic community, but stole two cakes and hid them under his armpits. Because of this sin, he has suffered immeasurable pain in hell. The remaining karmic consequences of hell have led to this body, and he continues to suffer this pain. Monks! What Mahāmaudgalyāyana saw is true and not different. You should uphold it.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(530)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in Śrāvastī. Then the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana said, 'On the road, I saw a huge being with its body wrapped in burning iron leaves. Its clothes, bedding, and bed were all made of hot iron, with flames blazing. It was eating hot iron balls, moving through the air, crying and wailing.' Then the Buddha told the monks, 'This being, in a past life, had left home to become a monk in the Dharma of the Buddha Kāśyapa in this Śrāvastī. He begged for food and clothing for the monastic community, but after offering to the community, he would use the leftovers for himself. Because of this sin, he has suffered immeasurable pain in hell. The remaining karmic consequences of hell have led to this body, and he continues to suffer this pain. Monks! What Mahāmaudgalyāyana saw is true and not different. You should uphold it.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

Just like the monks, so too are the nuns, the female novices, the male novices, the female novices, the laymen, and the laywomen.

It was walking on hot iron ground, moving through the air, crying and wailing.』 The Buddha told the monks, 『This being, in a past life, in this Śrāvastī, made a living by driving an ox cart. Because of this sin, it suffered immeasurable pain in hell. The remaining karmic debt from hell has resulted in this body, and it continues to suffer this pain. Monks!

Because he was a 'mamamāti' (one who is attached to 'mine'), he rebuked the monks, saying, 『Elders! You can leave this place. It is poor and cannot provide for you. Each of you should go as you please, seeking a place of abundance and joy, where there is plenty of clothing and food, where clothing, food, bedding, and medicine for illness can be obtained without lack.』 The monks who were staying there all left, and the visiting monks, upon hearing this, also did not come. Because of this sin, he has already suffered immeasurable pain in hell. The remaining karmic debt from hell has resulted in this body, and it continues to suffer this pain. Monks! What Mahāmaudgalyāyana saw is true and not different. You should uphold it.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

現代漢語譯本:尊者大目犍連說:『我在路上見到一個巨大的眾生,外形像比丘,全身穿著鐵葉做成的衣服,全身燃燒著火焰,還用鐵缽盛著燒紅的鐵丸吃。』佛陀告訴眾比丘:『這個眾生,在過去世時,在這個舍衛國迦葉佛的教法中出家做了比丘,他喜歡用惡毒的言語辱罵其他比丘,說他們是『惡禿』,『惡風法』,『惡衣服』。因為他惡語傷人,導致先來的比丘厭惡離去,未來的人也不敢來。因為這個罪過,他已經在地獄中受了無量的苦。地獄的罪報結束后,現在得到這樣的身體,繼續承受這樣的痛苦。諸位比丘!大目犍連所見到的,真實不虛,你們應當謹記奉行。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並遵照執行。 現代漢語譯本:我聽佛陀這樣說: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國。佛陀告訴眾比丘:『這個眾生,在過去世時,在這個舍衛國迦葉佛的教法中出家做了比丘,他喜歡挑起爭端,擾亂僧團,搬弄是非,使僧團不和。導致先來的比丘厭惡離去,未來的人也不敢來。因為這個罪過,他已經在地獄中受了無量的苦。地獄的罪報結束后,現在得到這樣的身體,繼續承受這樣的痛苦。諸位比丘!大目犍連所見到的,真實不虛,你們應當謹記奉行。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並遵照執行。 現代漢語譯本:我聽佛陀這樣說: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。當時,尊者阿那律住在松林精舍。當時,尊者大目犍連住在跋祇聚落失收摩羅山,那裡是令人恐懼的茂密森林,禽獸出沒的地方。

English version: The Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana said, 『On the road, I saw a huge being, resembling a bhikkhu, wearing clothes made of iron leaves, his whole body ablaze, and eating hot iron balls from an iron bowl.』 The Buddha told the bhikkhus, 『This being, in a past life, had ordained as a bhikkhu in the Dharma of the Buddha Kāśyapa in this Śrāvastī. He was a 『māma-māti』 (one who is proud and arrogant), and used harsh words to insult other bhikkhus, calling them 『evil bald heads,』 『evil wind Dharma,』 and 『evil clothes.』 Because of his harsh words, the bhikkhus who were there before left in disgust, and those who would have come did not come. Due to this sin, he has suffered immeasurable pain in hell. After his suffering in hell, he has now obtained this body and continues to suffer. Bhikkhus! What Mahāmaudgalyāyana saw is true and not different. You should uphold it.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. English version: Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in Śrāvastī.

English version: Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika』s Park in Śrāvastī. At that time, the Venerable Anuruddha was staying in the Pine Forest Monastery. At that time, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana was staying in the terrifying dense forest, a place of birds and beasts, on Mount Śiśumāra in the Bāgī village.


時,尊者阿那律獨一靜處,禪思思惟,作是念:「有一乘道,凈眾生,離憂、悲、惱、苦,得真如法,所謂四念處。何等為四?身身觀念處,受、心、法法觀念處。若於四念處遠離者,于賢聖法遠離;于賢聖法遠離者,于聖道遠離;聖道遠離者,于甘露法遠離;甘露法遠離者,則不能脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。若於四念處信樂者,于聖法信樂;聖法信樂者,于聖道信樂;聖道信樂者,于甘露法信樂;甘露法信樂者,得脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。」

爾時,尊者大目揵連知尊者阿那律心之所念,如力士屈伸臂頃,以神通力于跋祇聚落失收摩羅山恐怖稠林禽獸之處沒,至舍衛城松林精舍尊者阿那律前現,語阿那律言:「汝獨一靜處,禪思思惟,作是念:『有一乘道,令眾生清凈,離生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,得真如法,所謂四念處。何等為四?身身觀念處,受、心、法法觀念處。若於四念處不樂者,于賢聖法不樂;聖法不樂者,于聖道不樂;不樂聖道者,于甘露法亦不樂;不樂甘露法者,則不能脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。若於四念處信樂者,樂賢聖法;樂賢聖法者,樂於聖道;樂聖道者,得甘露法;得甘露法者,得脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦

現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者阿那律獨自一人在安靜的地方禪思,心中思量:『有一條唯一的道路,能夠凈化眾生,使他們脫離憂愁、悲傷、煩惱和痛苦,獲得真如之法,那就是所謂的四念處。哪四種呢?即身念處、受念處、心念處和法念處。如果遠離這四念處,就會遠離賢聖之法;遠離賢聖之法,就會遠離聖道;遠離聖道,就會遠離甘露之法;遠離甘露之法,就不能解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如果信奉並樂於這四念處,就會信奉並樂於賢聖之法;信奉並樂於賢聖之法,就會信奉並樂於聖道;信奉並樂於聖道,就會信奉並樂於甘露之法;信奉並樂於甘露之法,就能解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。』 這時,尊者大目犍連知道尊者阿那律心中所想,就像力士屈伸手臂一樣迅速,他運用神通力,從跋祇聚落的失收摩羅山恐怖茂密的禽獸出沒之處消失,來到舍衛城的松林精舍,出現在尊者阿那律面前,對阿那律說:『你獨自一人在安靜的地方禪思,心中思量:『有一條唯一的道路,能夠使眾生清凈,脫離生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,獲得真如之法,那就是所謂的四念處。哪四種呢?即身念處、受念處、心念處和法念處。如果對這四念處不感興趣,就會對賢聖之法不感興趣;對賢聖之法不感興趣,就會對聖道不感興趣;對聖道不感興趣,就會對甘露之法也不感興趣;對甘露之法不感興趣,就不能解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如果信奉並樂於這四念處,就會樂於賢聖之法;樂於賢聖之法,就會樂於聖道;樂於聖道,就會獲得甘露之法;獲得甘露之法,就能解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。』

English version: At that time, the venerable Anuruddha was alone in a quiet place, meditating and contemplating, thinking: 'There is one path that purifies beings, frees them from sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering, and leads to the true Dharma, which is the so-called four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four? They are mindfulness of the body, mindfulness of feelings, mindfulness of mind, and mindfulness of mental objects. If one is far from these four foundations of mindfulness, one is far from the noble Dharma; if one is far from the noble Dharma, one is far from the noble path; if one is far from the noble path, one is far from the nectar of Dharma; if one is far from the nectar of Dharma, one cannot escape birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. If one believes in and delights in these four foundations of mindfulness, one believes in and delights in the noble Dharma; if one believes in and delights in the noble Dharma, one believes in and delights in the noble path; if one believes in and delights in the noble path, one believes in and delights in the nectar of Dharma; if one believes in and delights in the nectar of Dharma, one can escape birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering.' Then, the venerable Mahamoggallana, knowing the thoughts in the venerable Anuruddha's mind, as quickly as a strong man extends or retracts his arm, through his spiritual power, disappeared from the terrifying, dense forest of the Shishumara Mountain in the Vajji village, and appeared before the venerable Anuruddha in the Pine Forest Monastery in Shravasti, and said to Anuruddha: 'You are alone in a quiet place, meditating and contemplating, thinking: 'There is one path that purifies beings, frees them from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering, and leads to the true Dharma, which is the so-called four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four? They are mindfulness of the body, mindfulness of feelings, mindfulness of mind, and mindfulness of mental objects. If one is not interested in these four foundations of mindfulness, one is not interested in the noble Dharma; if one is not interested in the noble Dharma, one is not interested in the noble path; if one is not interested in the noble path, one is not interested in the nectar of Dharma; if one is not interested in the nectar of Dharma, one cannot escape birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. If one believes in and delights in these four foundations of mindfulness, one delights in the noble Dharma; if one delights in the noble Dharma, one delights in the noble path; if one delights in the noble path, one obtains the nectar of Dharma; if one obtains the nectar of Dharma, one can escape birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering.'


。』耶?」

尊者阿那律語尊者大目揵連言:「如是,如是。尊者!」

大目犍連語尊者阿那律言:「云何名為樂四念處?」

尊者大目犍連:「若比丘身身觀念處,心緣身正念住調伏、止息、寂靜,一心增進。如是,受、心、法念處,正念住調伏、止息、寂靜,一心增進,尊者大目犍連,是名比丘樂四念處。」

時,尊者大目犍連即如其像三昧正受,從舍衛國松林精舍門,還至跋祇聚落失收摩羅山恐怖稠林禽獸之處。

(五三六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。乃至尊者大目犍連問尊者阿那律:「云何名為四念處修習多修習?」

尊者阿那律語尊者大目犍連言:「若比丘于內身起厭離想,于內身起不厭離想、厭離不厭離俱舍想,正念正知。如內身,如是外身、內外身,內受、外受、內外受,內心、外心、內外心,內法、外法、內外法,作厭離想、不厭離想、厭離不厭離俱舍想,住正念正知。如是,尊者大目犍連!是名四念處修習多修習。」

時,尊者大目犍連即入三昧,從舍衛國松林精舍入三昧神通力,如力士屈伸臂頃,還到跋祇聚落失收摩羅山恐怖稠林禽獸住處

現代漢語譯本 『是這樣嗎?』 尊者阿那律對尊者大目犍連說:『是的,是的,尊者!』 大目犍連問尊者阿那律:『什麼叫做樂於四念處?』 尊者大目犍連說:『如果比丘在身念處觀察身體,心專注于身體,以正念安住,調伏、止息、寂靜,一心精進。同樣,在受、心、法念處,以正念安住,調伏、止息、寂靜,一心精進。尊者大目犍連,這就叫做比丘樂於四念處。』 當時,尊者大目犍連立即進入如其所像的三昧正受,從舍衛國松林精舍門口,回到跋祇聚落失收摩羅山恐怖的茂密森林,禽獸出沒的地方。 (五三六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。乃至尊者大目犍連問尊者阿那律:『什麼叫做四念處的修習和多次修習?』 尊者阿那律對尊者大目犍連說:『如果比丘對自身生起厭離的想法,對自身生起不厭離的想法,生起厭離和不厭離都捨棄的想法,保持正念和正知。如同對自身一樣,對外身、內外身,對內受、外受、內外受,對內心、外心、內外心,對內法、外法、內外法,生起厭離的想法、不厭離的想法、厭離和不厭離都捨棄的想法,安住于正念和正知。這樣,尊者大目犍連!這就叫做四念處的修習和多次修習。』 當時,尊者大目犍連立即進入三昧,從舍衛國松林精舍以三昧神通力,如同力士屈伸手臂的瞬間,回到跋祇聚落失收摩羅山恐怖的茂密森林,禽獸居住的地方。

English version 'Is that so?' Venerable Anuruddha said to Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, 'Yes, yes, Venerable!' Mahāmaudgalyāyana asked Venerable Anuruddha, 'What is called delighting in the four foundations of mindfulness?' Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana said, 'If a bhikkhu, in the contemplation of the body, observes the body, with the mind focused on the body, dwells in mindfulness, subduing, calming, and pacifying, and advances with one-pointedness. Likewise, in the contemplations of feeling, mind, and phenomena, dwells in mindfulness, subduing, calming, and pacifying, and advances with one-pointedness. Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, this is called a bhikkhu delighting in the four foundations of mindfulness.' Then, Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana immediately entered the samadhi as it appeared to him, and from the gate of the Jeta Grove in Sāvatthī, returned to the terrifying dense forest of Mount Siṃśumāra in the Vajji village, a place frequented by birds and beasts. (536) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Sāvatthī. Then, Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana asked Venerable Anuruddha, 'What is called the cultivation and frequent cultivation of the four foundations of mindfulness?' Venerable Anuruddha said to Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, 'If a bhikkhu develops a sense of aversion towards his inner body, develops a sense of non-aversion towards his inner body, and develops a sense of equanimity towards both aversion and non-aversion, with mindfulness and clear comprehension. Just as with the inner body, so with the outer body, and the inner and outer body; with inner feeling, outer feeling, and inner and outer feeling; with inner mind, outer mind, and inner and outer mind; with inner phenomena, outer phenomena, and inner and outer phenomena, developing a sense of aversion, a sense of non-aversion, and a sense of equanimity towards both aversion and non-aversion, dwelling in mindfulness and clear comprehension. Thus, Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana! This is called the cultivation and frequent cultivation of the four foundations of mindfulness.' Then, Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana immediately entered samadhi, and from the Jeta Grove in Sāvatthī, through the power of samadhi and psychic abilities, as quickly as a strong man extends and retracts his arm, returned to the terrifying dense forest of Mount Siṃśumāra in the Vajji village, a place frequented by birds and beasts.

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī. At that time, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana and the Venerable Anuruddha were dwelling near the Hand-Made Bathing Pond in Śrāvastī.

The Venerable Śāriputra went to where the Venerable Anuruddha was, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries, sat down to one side. The Venerable Śāriputra said to the Venerable Anuruddha, 'It is amazing, Anuruddha! You possess such great spiritual power. Through the practice of what merit have you attained this state?'

The Venerable Anuruddha said to the Venerable Śāriputra, 'Through the practice and repeated cultivation of the four foundations of mindfulness, I have attained this great spiritual power. What are the four foundations of mindfulness? They are the contemplation of the body within, diligently and skillfully, with right mindfulness and right understanding, subduing worldly greed and sorrow. Likewise, the contemplation of the body without, the body within and without, the feeling within, the feeling without, the feeling within and without, the mind within, the mind without, the mind within and without, the dharma within, the dharma without, the dharma within and without, diligently and skillfully, with right mindfulness and right understanding, thus subduing worldly greed and sorrow. Venerable Śāriputra! This is called the practice and repeated cultivation of the four foundations of mindfulness, which leads to the attainment of this great spiritual power.'

'Venerable Śāriputra! Because I have well-practiced the four foundations of mindfulness, with a little effort, I can observe the entire small chiliocosm, just as a man with good eyesight standing on a tower can see all kinds of things on the ground below. With a little effort, I can observe the small chiliocosm in the same way. It is through the practice and repeated cultivation of the four foundations of mindfulness that I have attained this great spiritual power.'

Then, the two noble ones, having finished their discussion, each rose from their seats and departed.

The venerable Sariputta, the venerable Maha Moggallana, the venerable Ananda, and the venerable Anuruddha were also dwelling in Savatthi. Then, the venerable Maha Moggallana went to the venerable Anuruddha, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries, sat down to one side. The venerable Maha Moggallana asked the venerable Anuruddha, 'By cultivating and frequently practicing what qualities have you attained such great virtue and psychic power?' The venerable Anuruddha said to the venerable Maha Moggallana, 'By cultivating and frequently practicing the four foundations of mindfulness, I have attained such great virtue and psychic power. What are the four? Contemplating the body internally, focusing the mind, with diligence and effort, with right mindfulness and right understanding, removing worldly greed and sorrow; contemplating the body externally, and both internally and externally; contemplating feelings internally, externally, and both internally and externally; contemplating the mind internally, externally, and both internally and externally; contemplating phenomena internally, externally, and both internally and externally, focusing the mind, with diligence and effort, removing worldly greed and sorrow. This is called cultivating and frequently practicing the four foundations of mindfulness. By this, I have attained such great virtue and psychic power, and with little effort, I can observe a thousand Mount Sumerus, just as a man with good eyesight, standing on a high mountain peak, can observe a thousand Tala tree groves below. Thus, by cultivating and frequently practicing the four foundations of mindfulness, I have attained such great virtue and psychic power, and with little effort, I can see a thousand Mount Sumerus. Thus, venerable Maha Moggallana, by cultivating and frequently practicing the four foundations of mindfulness, I have attained such great virtue and psychic power.'

Venerable Anuruddha said to Venerable Ananda, 'It is by cultivating the four foundations of mindfulness that I have achieved such great virtue and power. What are the four? It is when one dwells with the mind focused on observing the body internally, diligently and with effort, with right mindfulness and right understanding, removing worldly greed and sorrow. Similarly, observing the body externally, both internally and externally; observing feelings internally, externally, and both internally and externally; observing the mind internally, externally, and both internally and externally; observing mental objects internally, externally, and both internally and externally, one dwells with the mind focused, diligently and with effort, removing worldly greed and sorrow.' 'Venerable Ananda, by cultivating these four foundations of mindfulness, and with a little effort, I have attained the pure divine eye, surpassing the eyes of gods and humans, and I see beings dying and being born, their good and bad appearances, their high and low status, their good and bad destinations, and how they are reborn according to their karma, all as they truly are. Those beings who engage in evil actions of body, speech, and mind, who slander the noble ones, and who hold wrong views, upon the breaking up of the body, after death, are reborn in hell. And those beings who engage in good actions of body, speech, and mind, who do not slander the noble ones, and who have right view, upon the breaking up of the body, after death, are reborn in heaven.' 'Just as a man with good eyesight standing at a crossroads sees people coming and going, sitting and lying down, so too, by cultivating the four foundations of mindfulness, I have achieved such great virtue, power, and supernormal abilities, and I see beings dying and being born, and their good and bad destinations. Those beings who engage in evil actions of body, speech, and mind, who slander the noble ones, and who hold wrong views, are reborn in hell.

時,有眾多比丘詣尊者阿那律所,問訊慰勞已,於一面住,語尊者阿那律言:「尊者阿那律!所患增損可安忍不?病勢漸損不轉增耶?」

尊者阿那律言:「我病不安,難可安忍,身諸苦痛,轉增無損。」即說三種譬,如上叉摩經說。

「然我身已遭此苦痛,且當安忍,正念正知。」

諸比丘問尊者阿那律:「心住何所,而能安忍如是大苦,正念正知?」

English version: (540) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the venerable Anuruddha was in the Pine Forest Monastery in Shravasti, suffering from illness. Then, many monks went to the venerable Anuruddha, and after exchanging greetings and words of comfort, they sat down to one side and said to the venerable Anuruddha: 'Venerable Anuruddha! Is your illness improving or worsening, is it bearable? Is the illness gradually decreasing or not improving?' The venerable Anuruddha said: 'My illness is not peaceful, it is difficult to bear, and the various pains in my body are constantly increasing without decreasing.' He then spoke of three similes, as described in the 'Kshama Sutra'. 'However, since my body has already suffered such pain, I should endure it, maintaining right mindfulness and right awareness.' The monks asked the venerable Anuruddha: 'Where does your mind dwell, that you are able to endure such great pain, maintaining right mindfulness and right awareness?' The venerable Anuruddha said to the monks: 'By dwelling in the four foundations of mindfulness, I am able to endure the various pains that arise in my body, maintaining right mindfulness and right awareness. What are the four foundations of mindfulness? They are the contemplation of the body in the body, and so on, up to the contemplation of feelings, mind, and mental objects. This is what it means to dwell in the four foundations of mindfulness, and to be able to endure the various pains in the body, maintaining right mindfulness and right awareness.' Then, the noble ones, having discussed this together, rejoiced and were pleased, and each rose from their seat and departed. (541) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

Then, many monks went to Anuruddha's dwelling, and after exchanging greetings and words of comfort, they sat down to one side and asked the venerable Anuruddha: 'Are you dwelling in peace and happiness?' Anuruddha said: 'I am dwelling in peace and happiness, and the various pains in my body have gradually subsided.'

English version The monks asked Venerable Anuruddha, 'By dwelling in what way can bodily pains be calmed?' Venerable Anuruddha replied, 'By dwelling in the four foundations of mindfulness, bodily pains are gradually calmed. What are the four? They are the contemplation of the body in the body, and so on, up to the contemplation of the Dhamma in the Dhamma. These are called the four foundations of mindfulness. By dwelling in these four foundations of mindfulness, bodily pains are gradually relieved.'

Then, many monks went to Venerable Anuruddha, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries, sat down to one side and asked Venerable Anuruddha, 'If a monk is on the path of training, seeking the peaceful abode of Nirvana, how should a noble disciple practice and cultivate to eradicate all defilements in this Dharma and Discipline, attain the taintless liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, and realize for themselves in this very life: 『Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being』?' Venerable Anuruddha said to the monks, 'If a monk is on the path of training, seeking the peaceful abode of Nirvana, how should a noble disciple practice and cultivate to eradicate all defilements in this Dharma and Discipline, attain the taintless liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, and realize for themselves in this very life: 『Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being』? One should dwell in the four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four? They are the contemplation of the body in the body, and so on, up to the contemplation of the Dhamma in the Dhamma. By practicing and cultivating these four foundations of mindfulness, one can eradicate all defilements in this Dharma and Discipline, attain the taintless liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, and realize for themselves in this very life: 『Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being.』'


。』」

時,諸比丘共聞尊者阿那律所說,歡喜隨喜,各從座起而去。

(五四三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。時,尊者阿那律在舍衛國松林精舍住。

時,有眾多比丘詣尊者阿那律所,與尊者阿那律共相問訊慰勞已,於一面坐。語尊者阿那律言:「若阿羅漢比丘諸漏已盡,所作已作,舍離重擔,離諸有結,正智心善解脫,亦修四念處耶?」

尊者阿那律語比丘言:「若比丘諸漏已盡,所作已作,舍離重擔,離諸有結,正智心善解脫,彼亦修四念處也。所以者何?不得者得,不證者證,為現法樂住故。所以者何?我亦離諸有漏,得阿羅漢,所作已作,心善解脫,亦修四念處故。不得者得,不到者到,不證者證,乃至現法安樂住。」

時,諸正士共論議已,歡喜隨喜,各從座起而去。

時,有眾多外道出家詣尊者阿那律所,共相問訊慰勞已,於一面坐。語尊者阿那律:「尊者何故於沙門瞿曇法中出家?」

尊者阿那律言:「為修習故

現代漢語譯本 當時,眾比丘聽聞阿那律尊者所說,都歡喜讚歎,各自從座位起身離去。

(五四三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,阿那律尊者住在舍衛國的松林精舍。

當時,有許多比丘前往阿那律尊者處,與尊者阿那律互相問候慰勞后,在一旁坐下。他們對阿那律尊者說:『如果一位阿羅漢比丘諸漏已盡,該做的已做完,放下重擔,脫離各種束縛,以正智獲得心解脫,他還會修習四念處嗎?』

阿那律尊者對比丘們說:『如果一位比丘諸漏已盡,該做的已做完,放下重擔,脫離各種束縛,以正智獲得心解脫,他也會修習四念處。為什麼呢?爲了獲得未獲得的,證得未證得的,爲了在當下安樂地住。為什麼呢?因為我也已脫離各種煩惱,證得阿羅漢果,該做的已做完,心已獲得解脫,我也修習四念處。爲了獲得未獲得的,到達未到達的,證得未證得的,乃至在當下安樂地住。』

當時,這些正士們共同討論完畢,歡喜讚歎,各自從座位起身離去。

(五四四)

如是我聞:

當時,有許多外道出家者前往阿那律尊者處,互相問候慰勞后,在一旁坐下。他們問阿那律尊者:『尊者為何在沙門瞿曇的教法中出家?』

阿那律尊者說:『爲了修習的緣故。』

English version Then, the bhikkhus, having heard what the venerable Anuruddha had said, were delighted and rejoiced. They rose from their seats and departed.

(543)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the venerable Anuruddha was dwelling in the Pine Forest Monastery in Savatthi.

Then, many bhikkhus went to the venerable Anuruddha, and after exchanging greetings and courtesies, sat down to one side. They said to the venerable Anuruddha: 'If a bhikkhu who is an arahant, whose taints are destroyed, who has done what was to be done, who has laid down the burden, who is free from the fetters of existence, who is liberated by right knowledge, does he also practice the four foundations of mindfulness?'

The venerable Anuruddha said to the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu whose taints are destroyed, who has done what was to be done, who has laid down the burden, who is free from the fetters of existence, who is liberated by right knowledge, he also practices the four foundations of mindfulness. Why is that? It is for the sake of attaining what has not been attained, realizing what has not been realized, and for dwelling in the present moment with ease. Why is that? Because I, too, am free from all taints, have attained arahantship, have done what was to be done, and my mind is well liberated, and I also practice the four foundations of mindfulness. It is for the sake of attaining what has not been attained, reaching what has not been reached, realizing what has not been realized, and even for dwelling in the present moment with ease.'

Then, those noble ones, having discussed this, were delighted and rejoiced. They rose from their seats and departed.

(544)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the venerable Anuruddha was dwelling in the Pine Forest Monastery in Savatthi.

Then, many ascetics of other sects went to the venerable Anuruddha, and after exchanging greetings and courtesies, sat down to one side. They said to the venerable Anuruddha: 'Venerable sir, why did you go forth in the doctrine and discipline of the ascetic Gotama?'

The venerable Anuruddha said: 'For the sake of training.'


。」

復問:「何所修習?」

答言:「謂修諸根、修諸力、修諸覺分、修諸念處,汝欲聞何等修?」

復問:「根、力、覺分,我不知其名字,況復問義,然我欲聞念處。」

尊者阿那律言:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。若比丘內身身觀念處,乃至法法觀念處。」

時,眾多外道出家聞尊者阿那律所說,歡喜隨喜,各從座起而去。

(五四五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。爾時,尊者阿那律在舍衛國住松林精舍。

時,尊者阿那律語諸比丘:「譬如大樹,生而順下,隨浚隨輸,若伐其根,樹必當倒,隨所而順下。如是比丘修四念處,長夜順趣浚輸,向于遠離;順趣浚輸,向于出要,順趣浚輸,向于涅槃。」

尊者阿那律說此經已,諸比丘聞其所說,歡喜奉行。

(五四六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。爾時,尊者摩訶迦旃延在跋蘭那聚落烏泥池側

現代漢語譯本 又問:『你修習什麼?』 回答說:『我修習諸根、諸力、諸覺支、諸念處,你想聽哪方面的修習?』 又問:『根、力、覺支,我連名字都不知道,更別說它們的含義了,但我很想聽聽念處。』 尊者阿那律說:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。如果比丘在內身觀察身念處,乃至在法上觀察法念處。』 當時,許多外道出家聽到尊者阿那律所說,都歡喜讚歎,各自從座位上起身離去。

(五四五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,尊者阿那律住在舍衛國的松林精舍。 當時,尊者阿那律對眾比丘說:『譬如大樹,生長時向下傾斜,隨著深挖和輸導,如果砍伐它的根,樹必定會倒下,順著傾斜的方向倒下。同樣,比丘修習四念處,長久以來順應、趨向于深挖和輸導,趨向于遠離;順應、趨向于深挖和輸導,趨向于解脫;順應、趨向于深挖和輸導,趨向于涅槃。』 尊者阿那律說完這部經,眾比丘聽了之後,都歡喜奉行。

(五四六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,尊者摩訶迦旃延住在跋蘭那聚落的烏泥池邊。

English version Again he asked: 'What do you practice?' He replied: 'I practice the faculties, the powers, the factors of enlightenment, and the foundations of mindfulness. Which practice do you wish to hear about?' Again he asked: 'The faculties, powers, and factors of enlightenment, I do not even know their names, let alone their meanings. But I wish to hear about the foundations of mindfulness.' Venerable Anuruddha said: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. If a bhikkhu contemplates the body in the body, up to contemplating the mind in the mind.' Then, many ascetics of other sects, hearing what Venerable Anuruddha had said, rejoiced and approved, and each rose from their seat and departed.

(545) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, Venerable Anuruddha was dwelling in the Pine Forest Monastery in Savatthi. Then, Venerable Anuruddha said to the bhikkhus: 'Just as a large tree, growing downwards, follows the digging and channeling, if its root is cut, the tree will surely fall, following the direction it was leaning. Similarly, a bhikkhu who practices the four foundations of mindfulness, for a long time follows and inclines towards digging and channeling, towards detachment; follows and inclines towards digging and channeling, towards liberation; follows and inclines towards digging and channeling, towards Nirvana.' Having spoken this discourse, Venerable Anuruddha, the bhikkhus, having heard what he said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

(546) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, Venerable Mahakaccana was dwelling near the Udani Pond in the village of Bhalandana.


時,有執澡灌杖梵志詣摩訶迦旃延所,共相問訊慰勞已,於一面坐,問摩訶迦旃延言:「何因何緣王、王共諍,婆羅門居士、婆羅門居士共諍?」

摩訶迦旃延答梵志言:「貪慾繫著因緣故,王、王共諍,婆羅門居士、婆羅門居士共諍。」

梵志復問:「何因何緣出家、出家而復共諍?」

摩訶迦旃延答言:「以見欲繫著故,出家、出家而復共諍。」

梵志復問:「摩訶迦旃延!頗有能離貪慾繫著及離此見欲繫著不?」

尊者摩訶迦旃延答言:「梵志!有,我大師如來、應、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊能離此貪慾繫著及見欲繫著。」

梵志復問:「佛世尊今在何所?」

答言:「佛世尊今在婆羅耆人中,拘薩羅國舍衛城祇樹給孤獨園。」

爾時,梵志從座起,整衣服,偏袒右肩,右膝著地,向佛所住處合掌讚歎。

「南無南無佛世尊、如來、應供、等正覺,能離欲貪諸繫著,悉能遠離貪慾縛及諸見欲,凈根本。」

時,持澡灌杖梵志聞尊者摩訶迦旃延所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起去。

(五四七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位手持澡罐和手杖的婆羅門來到摩訶迦旃延的住所,互相問候慰勞之後,在一旁坐下,問摩訶迦旃延說:『是什麼原因,什麼緣故導致國王與國王之間互相爭鬥,婆羅門居士與婆羅門居士之間互相爭鬥?』 摩訶迦旃延回答婆羅門說:『因為貪慾的束縛,所以國王與國王之間互相爭鬥,婆羅門居士與婆羅門居士之間互相爭鬥。』 婆羅門又問:『是什麼原因,什麼緣故導致出家人與出家人之間也互相爭鬥?』 摩訶迦旃延回答說:『因為執著于見解的慾望,所以出家人與出家人之間也互相爭鬥。』 婆羅門又問:『摩訶迦旃延!有沒有人能夠脫離貪慾的束縛以及脫離這種見解的慾望?』 尊者摩訶迦旃延回答說:『婆羅門!有,我的大師如來、應供、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊能夠脫離這種貪慾的束縛以及見解的慾望。』 婆羅門又問:『佛世尊現在在哪裡?』 回答說:『佛世尊現在在婆羅耆人中,拘薩羅國的舍衛城祇樹給孤獨園。』 當時,婆羅門從座位上站起來,整理衣服,袒露右肩,右膝著地,向佛陀所在的方向合掌讚歎。 『頂禮頂禮佛世尊、如來、應供、等正覺,能夠脫離貪慾的各種束縛,完全能夠遠離貪慾的束縛以及各種見解的慾望,清凈根本。』 當時,手持澡罐和手杖的婆羅門聽了尊者摩訶迦旃延所說的話,歡喜隨喜,從座位上站起來離開了。 (五四七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: At that time, a Brahmin who carried a water pot and a staff came to where Mahakatyayana was. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, he sat down to one side and asked Mahakatyayana, 'What is the cause, what is the reason that kings fight with kings, and Brahmin householders fight with Brahmin householders?' Mahakatyayana replied to the Brahmin, 'It is because of the attachment to greed that kings fight with kings, and Brahmin householders fight with Brahmin householders.' The Brahmin further asked, 'What is the cause, what is the reason that renunciates fight with renunciates?' Mahakatyayana replied, 'It is because of the attachment to views that renunciates fight with renunciates.' The Brahmin further asked, 'Mahakatyayana! Is there anyone who can be free from the attachment to greed and free from this attachment to views?' The venerable Mahakatyayana replied, 'Brahmin! There is. My master, the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, the one with perfect knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Trainer of those who can be trained, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, the Buddha, the World-Honored One, can be free from this attachment to greed and the attachment to views.' The Brahmin further asked, 'Where is the Buddha, the World-Honored One, now?' He replied, 'The Buddha, the World-Honored One, is now among the people of Bharagga, in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti, in the country of Kosala.' At that time, the Brahmin rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, and, facing the direction where the Buddha was, joined his palms in reverence and praised him. 'Homage, homage to the Buddha, the World-Honored One, the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, who can be free from all attachments to greed, who can completely be free from the bonds of greed and all attachments to views, and who is pure at the root.' Then, the Brahmin who carried the water pot and staff, having heard what the venerable Mahakatyayana had said, rejoiced and was pleased, and rose from his seat and departed. (547) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti.


。尊者摩訶迦旃延在婆羅那烏泥池側,與眾多比丘集於食堂,為持衣事。

時,有執杖梵志年耆根熟,詣食堂所,於一面柱杖而住。須臾默然已,語諸比丘:「諸長老!汝等何故見老宿士不共語問訊,恭敬命坐?」

時,尊者摩訶迦旃延亦在眾中坐。時,尊者摩訶迦旃延語梵志言:「我法有宿老來,皆共語問訊,恭敬禮拜,命之令坐。」

梵志言:「我見此眾中無有老於我者,不恭敬禮拜、命坐,汝云何言:『我法見有宿老,恭敬禮拜,命其令坐。』?」

摩訶迦旃延言:「梵志!若有耆年八十、九十,發白齒落,成就年少法者,此非宿士;雖復年少年二十五,色白髮黑,盛壯美滿,而彼成就耆年法者,為宿士數。」

梵志問言:「云何名為八十、九十,發白齒落,而覆成就年少之法,年二十五,膚白髮黑,盛壯美色,為宿士數?」

尊者摩訶迦旃延語梵志言:「有五欲功德。謂眼識色愛、樂、念,耳識聲、鼻識香、舌識味、身識觸愛、樂、念。於此五欲功德不離貪、不離欲、不離愛、不離念、不離濁。梵志!若如是者,雖復八十、九十,發白齒落,是名成就年少之法

現代漢語譯本:尊者摩訶迦旃延在婆羅那烏泥池邊,與眾多比丘聚集在食堂,討論關於持衣的事情。 當時,有一位拄著枴杖的婆羅門,年紀老邁,根基深厚,來到食堂,靠在一邊柱著枴杖站立。過了一會兒,他沉默片刻后,對眾比丘說:『各位長老!你們為什麼見到年長的長者不打招呼問候,不恭敬地請他坐下呢?』 當時,尊者摩訶迦旃延也坐在人群中。尊者摩訶迦旃延對婆羅門說:『在我的教法中,如果有年長的長者來,我們都會打招呼問候,恭敬地禮拜,請他坐下。』 婆羅門說:『我看到這群人中沒有比我更年長的,你們不恭敬禮拜、請坐,你為什麼說:『我的教法見到年長的長者,會恭敬禮拜,請他坐下』?』 摩訶迦旃延說:『婆羅門!如果有人年紀八十、九十,頭髮變白,牙齒脫落,卻還執著于年輕人的行為,這不能算是長者;即使有人年紀只有二十五歲,面板白皙,頭髮烏黑,正值壯年,但如果他具備長者的德行,就可以被視為長者。』 婆羅門問道:『什麼叫做八十、九十,頭髮變白,牙齒脫落,卻還執著于年輕人的行為,而二十五歲,面板白皙,頭髮烏黑,正值壯年,卻被視為長者呢?』 尊者摩訶迦旃延對婆羅門說:『有五種慾望的快樂。即眼睛對顏色的愛戀、快樂和執著,耳朵對聲音的愛戀,鼻子對氣味的愛戀,舌頭對味道的愛戀,身體對觸感的愛戀、快樂和執著。如果對這五種慾望的快樂不能放下貪婪、慾望、愛戀、執著和污濁,婆羅門!如果這樣,即使八十、九十,頭髮變白,牙齒脫落,也算是執著于年輕人的行為。』

English version: The Venerable Mahākātyāyana was at the side of the Barana Udini pond, gathered with many monks in the dining hall, discussing matters concerning the wearing of robes. At that time, there was a Brahmin who was old and of deep roots, leaning on a staff, who came to the dining hall and stood leaning on his staff to one side. After a moment of silence, he spoke to the monks: 'Venerable elders! Why do you not greet and inquire after an elder when you see one, and respectfully invite him to sit?' At that time, the Venerable Mahākātyāyana was also sitting among the assembly. The Venerable Mahākātyāyana said to the Brahmin: 'In my Dharma, when an elder comes, we all greet and inquire after him, respectfully bow, and invite him to sit.' The Brahmin said: 'I see that there is no one among this group older than me, yet you do not respectfully bow or invite me to sit. How can you say: 'In my Dharma, when an elder is seen, we respectfully bow and invite him to sit'?' Mahākātyāyana said: 'Brahmin! If someone is eighty or ninety years old, with white hair and missing teeth, but still engages in the behavior of the young, this is not considered an elder; even if someone is only twenty-five years old, with fair skin and black hair, in the prime of their life, but possesses the virtues of an elder, they are considered an elder.' The Brahmin asked: 'What is meant by being eighty or ninety years old, with white hair and missing teeth, yet still engaging in the behavior of the young, while someone who is twenty-five years old, with fair skin and black hair, in the prime of their life, is considered an elder?' The Venerable Mahākātyāyana said to the Brahmin: 'There are five kinds of sensual pleasures. These are the eye's attachment, pleasure, and clinging to sights, the ear's attachment to sounds, the nose's attachment to smells, the tongue's attachment to tastes, and the body's attachment, pleasure, and clinging to touch. If one cannot let go of greed, desire, attachment, clinging, and defilement towards these five sensual pleasures, Brahmin! If this is the case, even if one is eighty or ninety years old, with white hair and missing teeth, they are still considered to be engaging in the behavior of the young.'


。雖年二十五,膚白髮黑,盛壯美色,於五欲功德離貪、離欲、離愛、離念、離濁,若如是者,雖復年少年二十五,膚白髮黑,盛壯美色,成就老人法,為宿士數。」

爾時,梵志語尊者摩訶迦旃延:「如尊者所說義,我自省察,雖老則少,汝等雖少,成耆年法,世間多事,令便請還。」

尊者摩訶迦旃延言:「梵志!汝自知時。」

爾時,梵志聞尊者摩訶迦旃延所說,歡喜隨喜,還其本處。

(五四八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。尊者摩訶迦旃延在稠林中住。

時,摩偷羅國王是西方王子,詣尊者摩訶迦旃延所,禮摩訶迦旃延足,退坐一面,問尊者摩訶迦旃延:「婆羅門自言:『我第一,他人卑劣,我白,餘人黑,婆羅門清凈,非非婆羅門;是婆羅門子從口生,婆羅門所化,是婆羅門所有。』尊者摩訶迦旃延!此義云何?」

尊者摩訶迦旃延語摩偷羅王言:「大王!此是世間言說耳。世間言說言:『婆羅門第一,餘人卑劣,婆羅門白,餘人黑,婆羅門清凈,非非婆羅門。婆羅門從婆羅門生,生從口生,婆羅門所化,是婆羅門所有。』大王當知,業真實者,是依業者。」

王語尊者摩訶迦旃延:「此則略說,我所不解,愿重分別

現代漢語譯本:雖然年紀二十五歲,面板白皙,頭髮烏黑,正值壯年美貌,卻能對五欲功德做到離貪、離欲、離愛、離念、離濁,如果能這樣,即使年紀輕輕只有二十五歲,面板白皙,頭髮烏黑,正值壯年美貌,也算是成就了老人的修行,被視為有道行的宿士。 當時,梵志對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『按照您所說的道理,我自我反省,雖然年老卻像年輕人一樣,你們雖然年輕,卻成就了老年人的修行,世間俗事繁多,請允許我告辭。』 尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『梵志,你自己把握時機吧。』 當時,梵志聽了尊者摩訶迦旃延所說的話,歡喜讚歎,回到了自己的住處。 (五四八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。尊者摩訶迦旃延住在茂密的樹林中。 當時,摩偷羅國王是西方的王子,來到尊者摩訶迦旃延的住所,向摩訶迦旃延行禮,退坐在一旁,問尊者摩訶迦旃延:『婆羅門自稱:『我最尊貴,其他人卑賤,我膚色白皙,其他人膚色黝黑,婆羅門清凈,不是婆羅門的人不清凈;婆羅門的孩子是從口中生出來的,是婆羅門所教化的,是婆羅門所有的。』尊者摩訶迦旃延,這個道理是怎樣的呢?』 尊者摩訶迦旃延對摩偷羅王說:『大王,這只是世俗的說法罷了。世俗的說法是:『婆羅門最尊貴,其他人卑賤,婆羅門膚色白皙,其他人膚色黝黑,婆羅門清凈,不是婆羅門的人不清凈。婆羅門是從婆羅門生的,是從口中生出來的,是婆羅門所教化的,是婆羅門所有的。』大王應當知道,真正的真實是業,是依業而行的。』 國王對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『這只是簡略的說法,我還不明白,希望您能詳細地解釋。』

English version: Although twenty-five years old, with fair skin and black hair, in the prime of youthful beauty, one can be free from greed, desire, love, attachment, and defilement regarding the five desires and merits. If one is like this, even though young at twenty-five, with fair skin and black hair, in the prime of youthful beauty, one has achieved the practice of an elder and is considered a venerable ascetic. At that time, the Brahmin said to Venerable Mahakatyayana, 'According to the meaning you have spoken, I reflect on myself, though old, I am like a young person, while you, though young, have achieved the practice of an elder. The world is full of affairs, please allow me to take my leave.' Venerable Mahakatyayana said, 'Brahmin, you know the right time yourself.' At that time, the Brahmin, having heard what Venerable Mahakatyayana said, rejoiced and returned to his own place. (548) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Venerable Mahakatyayana was dwelling in a dense forest. At that time, King Mathura, a prince from the West, went to where Venerable Mahakatyayana was, bowed at Mahakatyayana's feet, sat to one side, and asked Venerable Mahakatyayana, 'The Brahmins say of themselves: 'I am the highest, others are inferior, I am white, others are black, Brahmins are pure, non-Brahmins are not; the children of Brahmins are born from the mouth, are taught by Brahmins, and belong to Brahmins.' Venerable Mahakatyayana, what is the meaning of this?' Venerable Mahakatyayana said to King Mathura, 'Great King, this is merely worldly talk. Worldly talk says: 'Brahmins are the highest, others are inferior, Brahmins are white, others are black, Brahmins are pure, non-Brahmins are not. Brahmins are born from Brahmins, born from the mouth, taught by Brahmins, and belong to Brahmins.' Great King, you should know that what is truly real is karma, and one is dependent on karma.' The King said to Venerable Mahakatyayana, 'This is a brief explanation, which I do not understand. I wish you would explain it in detail.'


。」

尊者摩訶迦旃延言:「今當問汝,隨問答我。」即問言:「大王!汝為婆羅門王,于自國土,諸婆羅門、剎利、居士、長者,此四種人悉皆召來,以財以力使其侍衛,先起后臥,及諸使令,悉如意不?」

答言:「如意。」

復問:「大王!剎利為王、居士為王、長者為王,于自國土所有四姓悉皆召來,以財以力令其侍衛,先起后臥,及諸使令,皆如意不?」

答言:「如意。」

復問:「大王!如是四姓悉皆平等,有何差別?當知,大王!四種姓者,皆悉平等,無有勝如差別之異。」

摩偷羅王白尊者摩訶迦旃延:「實爾,尊者!四姓皆等,無有種種勝如差別。」

「是故,大王!當知四姓,世間言說為差別耳,乃至依業,真實無差別也。複次,大王!此國土中有婆羅門,有偷盜者,當如之何?」

王白尊者摩訶迦旃延:「婆羅門中有偷盜者,或鞭、或縛,或驅出國,或罰其金,或截手足耳鼻,罪重則殺,及其盜者。然婆羅門,則名為賊。」

復問:「大王!若剎利、居士、長者中有偷盜者,當復如何?」

王白尊者摩訶迦旃延:「亦鞭、亦縛,亦驅出國,亦罰其金,亦復斷截手足耳鼻,罪重則殺

現代漢語譯本 尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『我現在要問你,你隨我的問題回答。』隨即問道:『大王!你作為婆羅門王,在你的國土上,將婆羅門、剎帝利、居士、長者這四種人都召集來,用財物和力量讓他們侍奉你,先你而起,后你而臥,以及各種使喚,都如你意嗎?』 回答說:『如意。』 又問:『大王!剎帝利為王、居士為王、長者為王,在他們的國土上,將所有四種姓的人都召集來,用財物和力量讓他們侍奉,先起后臥,以及各種使喚,都如他們意嗎?』 回答說:『如意。』 又問:『大王!這四種姓都平等,有什麼差別呢?應當知道,大王!這四種姓的人,都是平等的,沒有高下貴賤的差別。』 摩偷羅王對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『確實如此,尊者!四種姓都是平等的,沒有高下貴賤的差別。』 『所以,大王!應當知道四種姓,只是世俗言語上的差別罷了,乃至依據行為,實際上是沒有差別的。再者,大王!這個國土中有婆羅門,有偷盜的人,應當如何處置?』 國王對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『婆羅門中有偷盜的人,有的鞭打,有的捆綁,有的驅逐出國,有的罰款,有的砍斷手腳耳鼻,罪行嚴重的就處死,對待偷盜者都是這樣。即使是婆羅門,也稱為賊。』 又問:『大王!如果剎帝利、居士、長者中有偷盜的人,又該如何處置呢?』 國王對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『也是鞭打,也是捆綁,也是驅逐出國,也是罰款,也是砍斷手腳耳鼻,罪行嚴重的就處死。

English version The Venerable Mahakatyayana said, 'Now I will ask you, answer me as I ask.' Then he asked, 'Great King! As a Brahmin king, in your own country, you summon all four classes of people—Brahmins, Kshatriyas, householders, and elders—and use wealth and power to make them serve you, rising before you and sleeping after you, and all your commands are as you wish, is that so?' He replied, 'As I wish.' He asked again, 'Great King! If a Kshatriya is king, or a householder is king, or an elder is king, in their own country, they summon all four castes and use wealth and power to make them serve, rising before them and sleeping after them, and all their commands are as they wish, is that so?' He replied, 'As they wish.' He asked again, 'Great King! These four castes are all equal, what difference is there? You should know, Great King! These four castes are all equal, there is no difference of superiority or inferiority.' King Mathura said to the Venerable Mahakatyayana, 'Indeed, Venerable One! The four castes are all equal, there is no difference of superiority or inferiority.' 'Therefore, Great King! You should know that the four castes are only different in worldly speech, and even according to actions, there is actually no difference. Furthermore, Great King! In this country, if there are Brahmins who steal, what should be done?' The king said to the Venerable Mahakatyayana, 'If there are Brahmins who steal, some are whipped, some are bound, some are expelled from the country, some are fined, some have their hands, feet, ears, and noses cut off, and those whose crimes are serious are killed, and this is how all thieves are treated. Even if they are Brahmins, they are called thieves.' He asked again, 'Great King! If there are Kshatriyas, householders, or elders who steal, what should be done?' The king said to the Venerable Mahakatyayana, 'They are also whipped, also bound, also expelled from the country, also fined, also have their hands, feet, ears, and noses cut off, and those whose crimes are serious are killed.'


。」

「如是,大王!豈非四姓悉平等耶?為有種種差別異不?」

王白尊者摩訶迦旃延:「如是義者,實無種種勝如差別。」

尊者摩訶迦旃延復語王言:「當知,大王!四種姓者,世間言說言:『婆羅門第一,余悉卑劣,婆羅門白,餘人悉黑,婆羅門清凈,非非婆羅門。』當依業真實、業依耶?」

復問:「大王!婆羅門殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄言、惡口、兩舌、綺語、貪、恚、邪見,作十不善業跡已,為生惡趣耶?善趣耶?于阿羅呵所為何所聞?」

王白尊者摩訶迦旃延:「婆羅門作十不善業跡,當墮惡趣,阿羅呵所,作如是聞。剎利、居士、長者亦如是說。」

復問:「大王!若婆羅門行十善業跡,離殺生,乃至正見,當生何所?為善趣耶?為惡趣耶?于阿羅呵所,為何所聞?」

王白尊者摩訶迦旃延:「若婆羅門行十善業跡者,當生善趣,阿羅呵所,作如是、聞如是,剎利、居士、長者亦如是說。」

復問:「云何?大王!如是四姓,為平等不?為有種種勝如差別?」

王白尊者摩訶迦旃延:「如是義者,則為平等,無有種種勝如差別。」

「是故,大王當知,四姓悉平等耳,無有種種勝如差別

現代漢語譯本 『是的,大王!難道不是四種姓都是平等的嗎?還是說有各種各樣的差別和不同呢?』 國王對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『就這個道理而言,實際上並沒有各種優劣的差別。』 尊者摩訶迦旃延又對國王說:『大王應當知道,關於四種姓,世俗的說法是:『婆羅門第一,其餘都卑賤,婆羅門是白色的,其餘人都是黑色的,婆羅門是清凈的,不是婆羅門的人不清凈。』應當依據業的真實性,還是依據業的說法呢?』 又問:『大王!如果婆羅門殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語、惡語、兩舌、綺語、貪婪、嗔恚、邪見,做了這十種不善的業,會生到惡趣嗎?還是善趣呢?從阿羅漢那裡聽到了什麼?』 國王對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『婆羅門做了這十種不善的業,應當墮入惡趣,這是從阿羅漢那裡聽到的。剎帝利、居士、長者也是這樣說的。』 又問:『大王!如果婆羅門行十善業,遠離殺生,乃至正見,會生到哪裡?是善趣嗎?還是惡趣呢?從阿羅漢那裡聽到了什麼?』 國王對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『如果婆羅門行十善業,應當生到善趣,這是從阿羅漢那裡聽到的,剎帝利、居士、長者也是這樣說的。』 又問:『怎麼樣?大王!這四種姓是平等的嗎?還是有各種優劣的差別呢?』 國王對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『就這個道理而言,是平等的,沒有各種優劣的差別。』 『所以,大王應當知道,四種姓都是平等的,沒有各種優劣的差別。』

English version 'Yes, Your Majesty! Are not the four castes all equal? Or are there various differences and distinctions?' The king said to the Venerable Mahākātyāyana, 'In this sense, there are indeed no various superior or inferior differences.' The Venerable Mahākātyāyana further said to the king, 'Your Majesty should know that regarding the four castes, the worldly saying is: 『Brahmins are the first, the rest are all inferior, Brahmins are white, the rest are all black, Brahmins are pure, those who are not Brahmins are impure.』 Should one rely on the truth of karma, or on the saying of karma?' He further asked, 'Your Majesty! If a Brahmin commits killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, false speech, harsh speech, divisive speech, idle chatter, greed, hatred, and wrong views, having done these ten unwholesome deeds, will he be born in a bad realm? Or a good realm? What have you heard from the Arhats?' The king said to the Venerable Mahākātyāyana, 'If a Brahmin commits these ten unwholesome deeds, he should fall into a bad realm, this is what I have heard from the Arhats. The Kshatriyas, householders, and elders also say the same.' He further asked, 'Your Majesty! If a Brahmin practices the ten wholesome deeds, abstaining from killing, up to right view, where will he be born? Is it a good realm? Or a bad realm? What have you heard from the Arhats?' The king said to the Venerable Mahākātyāyana, 'If a Brahmin practices the ten wholesome deeds, he should be born in a good realm, this is what I have heard from the Arhats, the Kshatriyas, householders, and elders also say the same.' He further asked, 'How is it? Your Majesty! Are these four castes equal? Or are there various superior or inferior differences?' The king said to the Venerable Mahākātyāyana, 'In this sense, they are equal, there are no various superior or inferior differences.' 'Therefore, Your Majesty should know that the four castes are all equal, there are no various superior or inferior differences.'


。世間言說故有:『婆羅門第一,婆羅門白,餘者悉黑,婆羅門清凈,非非婆羅門;婆羅門生,生從口生,婆羅門作,婆羅門化,婆羅門所有。』當知業真實、業依。」

王白尊者摩訶迦旃延:「實如所說,皆是世間言說,故有:『婆羅門勝,餘者卑劣,婆羅門白,餘者悉黑,婆羅門清凈,非非婆羅門;婆羅門生,生從口生,婆羅門化,婆羅門所有。』皆是業真實、依于業。」

爾時,摩偷羅王聞尊者摩訶迦旃延所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(五四九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。爾時,尊者摩訶迦旃延住阿槃提國拘羅羅咤精舍。尊者摩訶迦旃延晨朝著衣持缽,入拘羅羅咤精舍,次第乞食,至迦梨迦優婆夷舍。

時,優婆夷見尊者摩訶迦旃延,即敷床坐,請令就坐,前禮尊者摩訶迦旃延足,退住一面,白尊者摩訶迦旃延:「如世尊所說,答僧耆多童女所問,如世尊說僧耆多童女所問偈:

「實義存於心,  寂滅而不亂,  降伏諸勇猛,  可愛端正色。  一心獨靜思,  服食妙禪樂,  是則為遠離。  世間之伴黨,  世間諸伴黨,  無習近我者

現代漢語譯本:世間流傳著這樣的說法:『婆羅門是最高貴的,婆羅門是白色的,其餘人都是黑色的;婆羅門是純潔的,不是非婆羅門;婆羅門是天生的,從口中出生,婆羅門創造,婆羅門擁有。』應當知道,業是真實的,業是依靠。 國王對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『確實如您所說,這些都是世間的說法,所以才有:『婆羅門是優勝的,其餘人是卑賤的;婆羅門是白色的,其餘人都是黑色的;婆羅門是純潔的,不是非婆羅門;婆羅門是天生的,從口中出生,婆羅門創造,婆羅門擁有。』這些都是業是真實的,依靠于業。』 當時,摩偷羅國王聽了尊者摩訶迦旃延所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離開了。 (五四九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,尊者摩訶迦旃延住在阿槃提國的拘羅羅咤精舍。尊者摩訶迦旃延早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入拘羅羅咤精舍,依次乞食,來到迦梨迦優婆夷的住所。 當時,優婆夷見到尊者摩訶迦旃延,立即鋪設床座,請他坐下,上前禮拜尊者摩訶迦旃延的腳,退到一旁站立,對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『正如世尊所說,回答僧耆多童女的提問,正如世尊所說僧耆多童女所問的偈: 『真實的意義存在於心中,寂靜而不混亂,降伏一切勇猛,擁有可愛端正的容貌。一心獨自靜思,享受美妙的禪悅,這就是遠離。世間的同伴,世間的同伴,沒有誰會接近我。』

English version: It is said in the world: 『Brahmins are the highest, Brahmins are white, and the rest are all black; Brahmins are pure, not non-Brahmins; Brahmins are born, born from the mouth, Brahmins create, and Brahmins possess.』 It should be known that karma is real, and karma is the basis. The king said to the Venerable Mahākātyāyana: 『Indeed, as you said, these are all worldly sayings, hence the saying: 『Brahmins are superior, and the rest are inferior; Brahmins are white, and the rest are all black; Brahmins are pure, not non-Brahmins; Brahmins are born, born from the mouth, Brahmins create, and Brahmins possess.』 All these are because karma is real and based on karma.』 At that time, King Mathura, having heard what the Venerable Mahākātyāyana said, rejoiced and praised it, then bowed and departed. (549) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī. At that time, the Venerable Mahākātyāyana was dwelling in the Kuralaraṭa Monastery in the Avanti country. The Venerable Mahākātyāyana, in the morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered the Kuralaraṭa Monastery, and went begging for alms in order, arriving at the residence of the laywoman Kālikā. At that time, the laywoman, seeing the Venerable Mahākātyāyana, immediately spread out a seat, invited him to sit down, bowed at the feet of the Venerable Mahākātyāyana, and stood to one side, saying to the Venerable Mahākātyāyana: 『As the World Honored One said, answering the question of the maiden Saṃghitā, as the World Honored One said in the verses of the question of the maiden Saṃghitā: 『The true meaning exists in the heart, tranquil and not confused, subduing all the valiant, possessing a lovely and upright appearance. With one mind, alone in quiet contemplation, enjoying the wonderful bliss of meditation, this is to be detached. The companions of the world, the companions of the world, none will approach me.』


「尊者摩訶迦旃延!世尊此偈,其義云何?」

尊者摩訶迦旃延語優婆夷言:「姊妹!有一沙門婆羅門言:『地一切入處正受,此則無上,為求此果。』姊妹!若沙門婆羅門于地一切入處正受,清凈鮮白者,則見其本,見患、見滅、見滅道跡;以見本、見患、見滅、見滅道跡故,得真實義存於心,寂滅而不亂。姊妹!如是水一切入處、火一切入處、風一切入處、青一切入處、黃一切入處、赤一切入處、白一切入處、空一切入處、識一切入處為無上者,為求此果。

「姊妹!若有沙門婆羅門,乃至於識處一切入處正受,清凈鮮白者,見本、見患、見滅、見滅道跡;以見本、見患、見滅、見滅道跡故,是則實義存於心,寂滅而不亂,善見、善入。是故世尊答僧耆多童女所問偈:

「實義存於心,  寂滅而不亂,  降伏諸勇猛,  可愛端正色。  一心獨靜思,  服食妙禪樂,  是則為遠離,  世間之伴黨,  世間諸伴黨,  無習近我者。

「如是,姊妹!我解世尊以如是義故,說如是偈。」

優婆夷言:「善哉!尊者說真實義,唯愿尊者受我請食。」

時,尊者摩訶迦旃延默然受請

現代漢語譯本 『尊者摩訶迦旃延!世尊這首偈語,它的含義是什麼呢?』 尊者摩訶迦旃延對優婆夷說:『姊妹!有些沙門婆羅門說:「地一切入處正受,這是無上的,爲了追求這個果報。」姊妹!如果沙門婆羅門對於地一切入處正受,達到清凈鮮明的狀態,就能看到它的本源,看到它的過患,看到它的滅盡,看到滅盡的道路;因為看到本源、過患、滅盡、滅盡的道路,就能將真實的意義存於心中,達到寂滅而不動搖。姊妹!像這樣,水一切入處、火一切入處、風一切入處、青一切入處、黃一切入處、赤一切入處、白一切入處、空一切入處、識一切入處,都被認為是無上的,爲了追求這個果報。 『姊妹!如果有沙門婆羅門,乃至對於識處一切入處正受,達到清凈鮮明的狀態,就能看到本源、看到過患、看到滅盡、看到滅盡的道路;因為看到本源、過患、滅盡、滅盡的道路,那麼真實的意義就存於心中,達到寂滅而不動搖,善於觀察,善於進入。所以世尊回答僧耆多童女所問的偈語是:』 『真實的意義存於心中,寂滅而不動搖,降伏各種勇猛的煩惱,(達到)可愛端正的境界。一心獨自靜思,享受美妙的禪定之樂,這就是遠離世間的伴黨,世間的各種伴黨,沒有能接近我的。』 『姊妹!我理解世尊就是因為這個意義,才說了這首偈語。』 優婆夷說:『太好了!尊者說的是真實的意義,希望尊者接受我的供養。』 當時,尊者摩訶迦旃延默默地接受了供養。

English version 'Venerable Mahākātyāyana! What is the meaning of this verse spoken by the World Honored One?' Venerable Mahākātyāyana said to the Upasika, 'Sister! Some ascetics and Brahmins say, 「The earth kasina attainment is supreme, and they seek this fruit.」 Sister! If an ascetic or Brahmin, through the earth kasina attainment, achieves a state of purity and clarity, they will see its origin, see its fault, see its cessation, and see the path to its cessation; because they see the origin, fault, cessation, and path to cessation, they will have the true meaning established in their heart, and be peaceful and unperturbed. Sister! Likewise, the water kasina, fire kasina, wind kasina, blue kasina, yellow kasina, red kasina, white kasina, space kasina, and consciousness kasina are considered supreme, and they seek this fruit.' 'Sister! If an ascetic or Brahmin, through the consciousness kasina attainment, achieves a state of purity and clarity, they will see the origin, see the fault, see the cessation, and see the path to its cessation; because they see the origin, fault, cessation, and path to cessation, then the true meaning is established in their heart, and they are peaceful and unperturbed, skilled in seeing, and skilled in entering. Therefore, the World Honored One answered the verse asked by the young nun Sangīti:』 'The true meaning is established in the heart, peaceful and unperturbed, subduing all fierce passions, (reaching) a lovely and upright state. With one mind, alone in quiet contemplation, enjoying the wonderful bliss of meditation, this is to be apart from the companions of the world, and the various companions of the world cannot approach me.』 'Sister! I understand that the World Honored One spoke this verse because of this meaning.' The Upasika said, 'Excellent! Venerable one, you speak the true meaning. May the Venerable one accept my offering of food.' At that time, Venerable Mahākātyāyana silently accepted the offering.


時,迦梨迦優婆夷知尊者摩訶迦旃延受請已,即辦種種凈美飲食,恭敬尊重,自手奉食。

時,優婆夷知尊者摩訶迦旃延食已,洗缽、澡嗽訖,敷一卑坐,于尊者摩訶迦旃延前恭敬聽法。

尊者摩訶迦旃延為迦梨迦優婆夷種種說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,從座起而去。

(五五〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。爾時,尊者摩訶迦旃延在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

尊者摩訶迦旃延語諸比丘:「佛世尊、如來、應、等正覺所知所見,說六法出苦處升于勝處,說一乘道凈諸眾生,離諸惱苦,憂悲悉滅,得真如法。何等為六?謂聖弟子念如來、應、等正覺所行法凈,如來、應、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊。聖弟子念如來、應所行法故,離貪慾覺、離瞋恚覺、離害覺。如是,聖弟子出染著心。何等為染著心?謂五欲功德,於此五欲功德離貪、恚、癡,安住正念正智,乘于直道,修習唸佛,正向涅槃,是名如來、應、等正覺所知所見,說第一齣苦處升于勝處,一乘道凈于眾生,離苦惱,滅憂悲,得如實法

現代漢語譯本 當時,迦梨迦優婆夷知道尊者摩訶迦旃延接受了邀請,立即準備了各種乾淨精美的食物,恭敬尊重地親自供奉飲食。 當時,優婆夷知道尊者摩訶迦旃延用完餐后,洗了缽、漱了口,鋪設了一個矮座,在尊者摩訶迦旃延面前恭敬地聽法。 尊者摩訶迦旃延為迦梨迦優婆夷宣說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、歡喜后,便從座位起身離開了。 (五五〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,尊者摩訶迦旃延也在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 尊者摩訶迦旃延對比丘們說:『佛世尊、如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,宣說了六種方法可以脫離苦難,昇華到殊勝的境界,宣說了一條通往清凈的道路,使眾生脫離煩惱痛苦,憂愁悲傷全部消滅,獲得真如之法。哪六種呢?就是聖弟子憶念如來、應供、正等覺所修行的清凈之法,如來、應供、正等覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊。聖弟子憶念如來、應供所修行的法,因此遠離貪慾的覺悟、遠離嗔恚的覺悟、遠離傷害的覺悟。這樣,聖弟子就脫離了染著之心。什麼是染著之心呢?就是五欲功德,對於這五欲功德,遠離貪、嗔、癡,安住于正念正智,走上正道,修習唸佛,正確地趨向涅槃,這就是如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,宣說的第一種脫離苦難,昇華到殊勝境界的方法,一條通往清凈的道路,使眾生脫離苦惱,消滅憂愁悲傷,獲得真實之法。』

English version At that time, the laywoman Kālikā, knowing that the Venerable Mahākātyāyana had accepted the invitation, immediately prepared various clean and delicious foods, respectfully and reverently offering them with her own hands. Then, the laywoman, knowing that the Venerable Mahākātyāyana had finished his meal, washed his bowl, rinsed his mouth, and spread out a low seat, respectfully listening to the Dharma in front of the Venerable Mahākātyāyana. The Venerable Mahākātyāyana expounded various aspects of the Dharma to the laywoman Kālikā, instructing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening her; having instructed, taught, illuminated, and gladdened her, he rose from his seat and departed. (550) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī. At that time, the Venerable Mahākātyāyana was also in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī. The Venerable Mahākātyāyana said to the monks: 'The Blessed One, the Tathāgata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, through his knowledge and vision, has taught six ways to escape suffering and ascend to a superior state, and has taught a single path to purify all beings, freeing them from afflictions and suffering, extinguishing all sorrow and grief, and attaining the true Dharma. What are these six? They are when a noble disciple recollects the pure Dharma practiced by the Tathāgata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, the Tathāgata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, the one with perfect knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Trainer of Those Who Can Be Trained, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, the Blessed One. Because a noble disciple recollects the Dharma practiced by the Tathāgata and the Arhat, he abandons the perception of greed, abandons the perception of hatred, and abandons the perception of harm. Thus, the noble disciple escapes the defiled mind. What is the defiled mind? It is the five sensual pleasures. Regarding these five sensual pleasures, one abandons greed, hatred, and delusion, dwells in right mindfulness and right wisdom, walks the straight path, practices mindfulness of the Buddha, and correctly moves towards Nirvana. This is what the Tathāgata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, through his knowledge and vision, has taught as the first way to escape suffering and ascend to a superior state, a single path to purify all beings, freeing them from suffering, extinguishing sorrow and grief, and attaining the true Dharma.'


「複次,聖弟子念于正法,念於世尊現法、律,離諸熱惱,非時,通達,即于現法,緣自覺悟。爾時,聖弟子念此正法時,不起欲覺、瞋恚、害覺。如是,聖弟子出染著心。何等為染著心?謂五欲功德。於此五欲功德離貪、恚、癡,安住正念正知,乘于直道,修習念法,正向涅槃,是名如來、應、等正覺所知所見,說第二齣苦處升于勝處,一乘道凈于眾生,離苦惱,滅憂悲,得如實法。

「複次,聖弟子念于僧法,善向、正向、直向、等向,修隨順行,謂向須陀洹、得須陀洹果,向斯陀含、得斯陀含,向阿那含、得阿那含,向阿羅漢、得阿羅漢。如是四雙八士,是名世尊弟子僧戒具足、定具足、慧具足、解脫具足、解脫知見具足,供養、恭敬、禮拜處,世間無上福田。聖弟子如是念僧時,爾時聖弟子不起欲覺、瞋恚、害覺。如是,聖弟子出染著心。何等為染著心?謂五欲功德。於此五欲功德離貪、恚、癡,安住正念正知,乘于直道,修習念僧,正向涅槃,是名如來、應、等正覺所知所見,說第三齣苦處升于勝處,一乘道凈于眾生,離苦惱,滅憂悲,得如實法。

「複次,聖弟子念于戒德,念不缺戒、不斷戒、純厚戒、不離戒、非盜取戒、善究竟戒、可讚嘆戒、梵行不憎惡戒

現代漢語譯本 『再者,聖弟子憶念正法,憶念世尊的現法和戒律,遠離各種煩惱,不執著於時間,通達真理,當下就能通過自身覺悟。這時,聖弟子憶念正法時,不會生起慾望、嗔恨和傷害的念頭。這樣,聖弟子就能擺脫染著之心。什麼是染著之心呢?就是對五欲功德的貪戀。對於這五欲功德,能夠遠離貪婪、嗔恨和愚癡,安住于正念和正知,走在正道上,修習憶念正法,正確地趨向涅槃,這就是如來、應供、正等覺所知所見的,所說的第二種脫離苦難、昇華到更高境界的方法,這是一條能夠凈化眾生、使他們脫離苦惱、消除憂愁悲傷、獲得真實智慧的唯一道路。 『再者,聖弟子憶念僧團的功德,他們善於修行、正直修行、直接修行、平等修行,修習隨順的修行,即趨向須陀洹果、證得須陀洹果,趨向斯陀含果、證得斯陀含果,趨向阿那含果、證得阿那含果,趨向阿羅漢果、證得阿羅漢果。這四雙八士,被稱為世尊的弟子僧團,他們戒律圓滿、禪定圓滿、智慧圓滿、解脫圓滿、解脫知見圓滿,是值得供養、恭敬、禮拜的,是世間無上的福田。聖弟子這樣憶念僧團時,不會生起慾望、嗔恨和傷害的念頭。這樣,聖弟子就能擺脫染著之心。什麼是染著之心呢?就是對五欲功德的貪戀。對於這五欲功德,能夠遠離貪婪、嗔恨和愚癡,安住于正念和正知,走在正道上,修習憶念僧團,正確地趨向涅槃,這就是如來、應供、正等覺所知所見的,所說的第三種脫離苦難、昇華到更高境界的方法,這是一條能夠凈化眾生、使他們脫離苦惱、消除憂愁悲傷、獲得真實智慧的唯一道路。 『再者,聖弟子憶念戒律的功德,憶念不缺戒、不斷戒、純厚戒、不離戒、非盜取戒、善究竟戒、可讚嘆戒、梵行不憎惡戒。

English version 'Furthermore, a noble disciple reflects on the Dhamma, reflects on the Blessed One's Dhamma and discipline, which are free from agitation, timeless, understandable, and which lead to self-realization in the present moment. At that time, when the noble disciple reflects on this Dhamma, he does not give rise to thoughts of desire, hatred, or harm. Thus, the noble disciple emerges from a mind of attachment. What is a mind of attachment? It is the merit of the five sensual pleasures. Regarding these five sensual pleasures, he is free from greed, hatred, and delusion, dwells in right mindfulness and right understanding, travels on the straight path, cultivates mindfulness of the Dhamma, and correctly heads towards Nirvana. This is what the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One knows and sees, and it is said to be the second way to escape suffering and ascend to a higher state, a single path that purifies beings, frees them from suffering, extinguishes sorrow and grief, and attains the true Dharma. 'Furthermore, a noble disciple reflects on the Sangha, who are practicing well, practicing uprightly, practicing directly, practicing harmoniously, and practicing in accordance with the path, namely, towards stream-entry, attaining stream-entry; towards once-returning, attaining once-returning; towards non-returning, attaining non-returning; towards Arahantship, attaining Arahantship. These four pairs of eight individuals are called the Blessed One's Sangha of disciples, who are complete in virtue, complete in concentration, complete in wisdom, complete in liberation, and complete in the knowledge and vision of liberation. They are worthy of offerings, worthy of respect, worthy of veneration, and are the unsurpassed field of merit in the world. When the noble disciple reflects on the Sangha in this way, he does not give rise to thoughts of desire, hatred, or harm. Thus, the noble disciple emerges from a mind of attachment. What is a mind of attachment? It is the merit of the five sensual pleasures. Regarding these five sensual pleasures, he is free from greed, hatred, and delusion, dwells in right mindfulness and right understanding, travels on the straight path, cultivates mindfulness of the Sangha, and correctly heads towards Nirvana. This is what the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One knows and sees, and it is said to be the third way to escape suffering and ascend to a higher state, a single path that purifies beings, frees them from suffering, extinguishes sorrow and grief, and attains the true Dharma. 'Furthermore, a noble disciple reflects on the virtues of morality, reflecting on morality that is not broken, not torn, unblemished, not defiled, not stolen, well-completed, praiseworthy, and not hated by those who practice the holy life.'


。若聖弟子念此戒時,自念身中所成就戒,當於爾時不起欲覺、瞋恚、害覺。如是,聖弟子出染著心。何等為染著心?謂五欲功德。於此五欲功德離貪、恚、癡,安住正念正知,乘于直道,修戒念,正向涅槃,是名如來、應、等正覺所知所見,說第四齣苦處升于勝處,一乘道凈于眾生,離苦惱,滅憂悲,得如實法。

「複次,聖弟子自念施法,心自欣慶。我今離慳貪垢、離在居家,解脫心施、常施、舍施、樂施、具足施、平等施。若聖弟子念于自所施法時,不起欲覺、瞋恚、害覺。如是,聖弟子出染著心。於何染著?謂五欲功德。於此五欲功德離貪、恚、癡,安住正念正知,乘于直道,修施念,正向涅槃,是名如來、應、等正覺所知所見,說第五齣苦處升于勝處,一乘道凈于眾生,離苦惱,滅憂悲,得如實法。

「複次,聖弟子念于天德,念四王天、三十三天,炎摩天、兜率陀天、化樂天、他化自在天,清凈信心,於此命終,生彼諸天。我亦如是,信、戒、施、聞、慧,於此命終,生彼天中。如是,聖弟子念天功德時,不起欲覺、瞋恚、害覺。如是,聖弟子出染著心。於何染著?謂五欲功德

現代漢語譯本:如果聖弟子在憶念此戒律時,憶念自己身中所成就的戒律,那時應當不起慾念、嗔恨、傷害的念頭。這樣,聖弟子就脫離了染著之心。什麼是染著之心呢?就是指五欲的功德。對於這五欲的功德,要遠離貪婪、嗔恨、愚癡,安住于正念正知,行於正道,修習戒律的憶念,正確地趨向涅槃。這就是如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,所說的第四個脫離苦難、昇華到殊勝境界的途徑,是唯一能凈化眾生、使之脫離苦惱、滅除憂愁悲傷、獲得真實法的道路。 現代漢語譯本:再者,聖弟子憶念自己所施捨的法,心中感到欣喜。我如今已遠離慳吝的污垢,脫離了居家生活,解脫了施捨的心,經常施捨、樂於施捨、圓滿施捨、平等施捨。如果聖弟子在憶念自己所施捨的法時,不起慾念、嗔恨、傷害的念頭。這樣,聖弟子就脫離了染著之心。對於什麼染著呢?就是指五欲的功德。對於這五欲的功德,要遠離貪婪、嗔恨、愚癡,安住于正念正知,行於正道,修習施捨的憶念,正確地趨向涅槃。這就是如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,所說的第五個脫離苦難、昇華到殊勝境界的途徑,是唯一能凈化眾生、使之脫離苦惱、滅除憂愁悲傷、獲得真實法的道路。 現代漢語譯本:再者,聖弟子憶念天上的功德,憶念四王天、三十三天、焰摩天、兜率天、化樂天、他化自在天,以清凈的信心,在此命終后,會往生到那些天界。我也像他們一樣,擁有信、戒、施、聞、慧,在此命終后,也會往生到天界之中。這樣,聖弟子在憶念天上的功德時,不起慾念、嗔恨、傷害的念頭。這樣,聖弟子就脫離了染著之心。對於什麼染著呢?就是指五欲的功德。

English version: If a noble disciple, while recollecting this precept, recollects the precepts he has accomplished in his own body, at that time he should not give rise to thoughts of desire, anger, or harm. Thus, the noble disciple departs from the mind of attachment. What is the mind of attachment? It refers to the merits of the five desires. Regarding these merits of the five desires, one should be free from greed, hatred, and delusion, abide in right mindfulness and right knowledge, walk the straight path, cultivate the recollection of precepts, and correctly move towards Nirvana. This is what the Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One knows and sees, and it is said to be the fourth way to escape suffering and ascend to a superior state, the one path that purifies beings, frees them from suffering, extinguishes sorrow and grief, and attains the true Dharma. English version: Furthermore, a noble disciple, recollecting the Dharma he has given, feels joy in his heart. 'I am now free from the defilement of stinginess, free from household life, liberated in the mind of giving, always giving, joyfully giving, fully giving, and equally giving.' If a noble disciple, while recollecting the Dharma he has given, does not give rise to thoughts of desire, anger, or harm. Thus, the noble disciple departs from the mind of attachment. To what is he attached? It refers to the merits of the five desires. Regarding these merits of the five desires, one should be free from greed, hatred, and delusion, abide in right mindfulness and right knowledge, walk the straight path, cultivate the recollection of giving, and correctly move towards Nirvana. This is what the Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One knows and sees, and it is said to be the fifth way to escape suffering and ascend to a superior state, the one path that purifies beings, frees them from suffering, extinguishes sorrow and grief, and attains the true Dharma. English version: Furthermore, a noble disciple recollects the virtues of the heavens, recollecting the Four Heavenly Kings, the Thirty-three Gods, the Yama Gods, the Tusita Gods, the Gods of Enjoying Creation, and the Gods of Controlling the Creations of Others, with pure faith, upon death, they will be reborn in those heavens. 'I am also like them, possessing faith, precepts, giving, learning, and wisdom, and upon death, I will also be reborn in the heavens.' Thus, when a noble disciple recollects the virtues of the heavens, he does not give rise to thoughts of desire, anger, or harm. Thus, the noble disciple departs from the mind of attachment. To what is he attached? It refers to the merits of the five desires.


。於此五欲功德離貪、恚、癡,安住正念正知,乘于直道,修天念,正向涅槃,是名如來、應、等正覺所知所見,說第六齣苦處升于勝處,一乘道凈于眾生,離苦惱,滅憂悲,得如實法。」

尊者摩訶迦旃延說此經已,諸比丘聞其所說,歡喜奉行。

(五五一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。爾時,尊者摩訶迦旃延住釋氏訶梨聚落精舍。

時,訶梨聚落長者詣尊者摩訶迦旃延所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白尊者摩訶迦旃延:「如世尊義品答摩揵提所問偈:

「斷一切諸流,  亦塞其流源,  聚落相習近,  牟尼不稱歎。  虛空於五欲,  永以不還滿,  世間諍言訟,  畢竟不復為。

「尊者摩訶迦旃延!此偈有何義?」

尊者摩訶迦旃延答長者言:「眼流者,眼識起貪,依眼界貪慾流出,故名為流。耳、鼻、舌、身、意流者,謂意識起貪,依意界貪識流出,故名為流。」

長者復問尊者摩訶迦旃延:「云何名為不流?」

尊者迦旃延語長者言:「謂眼識、眼識所識色依生愛喜,彼若盡、無慾、滅、息、沒,是名不流。耳、鼻、舌、身、意、意識、意識所識法依生貪慾,彼若盡、無慾、滅、息、沒,是名不流

現代漢語譯本:『因此,對於五種慾望的功德,要遠離貪婪、嗔恨和愚癡,安住于正念和正知,行於正道,修習天念,正確地趨向涅槃。這被稱為如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,說明第六個脫離苦難之處,升入殊勝之境,一條道路凈化眾生,使他們遠離苦惱,滅除憂愁悲傷,獲得真實的法。』 尊者摩訶迦旃延說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了他的說法,歡喜地奉行。 (五五一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,尊者摩訶迦旃延住在釋迦族的訶梨聚落精舍。 當時,訶梨聚落的長者來到尊者摩訶迦旃延的住所,向他頂禮,退坐在一旁,對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『正如世尊在義品中回答摩揵提所問的偈頌: 『斷絕一切諸流,也堵塞其源頭,聚落之間相互習近,牟尼不讚嘆。虛空對於五欲,永遠無法滿足,世間的爭論訴訟,最終不再發生。』 『尊者摩訶迦旃延!這偈頌是什麼意思?』 尊者摩訶迦旃延回答長者說:『所謂的眼流,是指眼識產生貪慾,依賴眼界貪慾流出,所以稱為流。耳、鼻、舌、身、意流,是指意識產生貪慾,依賴意界貪識流出,所以稱為流。』 長者又問尊者摩訶迦旃延:『什麼叫做不流呢?』 尊者迦旃延對長者說:『所謂的眼識、眼識所認識的色,如果依此產生愛喜,當這些愛喜完全消失、沒有慾望、滅盡、止息、消沒時,就稱為不流。耳、鼻、舌、身、意、意識、意識所認識的法,如果依此產生貪慾,當這些貪慾完全消失、沒有慾望、滅盡、止息、消沒時,就稱為不流。』

English version: 'Therefore, regarding the merits of the five desires, one should be free from greed, hatred, and delusion, abide in right mindfulness and right knowledge, walk the straight path, cultivate mindfulness of the heavens, and correctly move towards Nirvana. This is what is known and seen by the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One, explaining the sixth place of escape from suffering, ascending to a superior state, a single path that purifies beings, freeing them from distress, extinguishing sorrow and grief, and attaining the true Dharma.' After Venerable Mahakatyayana finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard his teachings, joyfully practiced them. (551) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, Venerable Mahakatyayana was dwelling in the hermitage of the Shakya's Hari village. Then, the elder of Hari village went to where Venerable Mahakatyayana was, bowed his head at his feet, and sat down to one side, saying to Venerable Mahakatyayana: 'As the World Honored One answered Magandhiya's question in the chapter on meaning with the verse: 'Cutting off all the streams, and also blocking their sources, the mutual familiarity of villages, the Muni does not praise. The void for the five desires, will never be filled, the worldly disputes and litigations, will ultimately cease to be.' 'Venerable Mahakatyayana! What is the meaning of this verse?' Venerable Mahakatyayana replied to the elder, 'The stream of the eye refers to the arising of greed through eye consciousness, flowing out based on the eye realm, hence it is called a stream. The streams of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind refer to the arising of greed through mind consciousness, flowing out based on the mind realm, hence they are called streams.' The elder further asked Venerable Mahakatyayana, 'What is meant by not flowing?' Venerable Katyayana said to the elder, 'When eye consciousness and the forms perceived by eye consciousness give rise to love and joy, if these are completely exhausted, without desire, extinguished, ceased, and disappeared, it is called not flowing. When ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, mind consciousness, and the dharmas perceived by mind consciousness give rise to greed, if these are completely exhausted, without desire, extinguished, ceased, and disappeared, it is called not flowing.'


。」

復問:「云何?」

尊者摩訶迦旃延答言:「謂緣眼及色,生眼識,三事和合生觸,緣觸生受,樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,依此染著流。耳、鼻、舌、身、意、意識、意識法,三事和合生觸,緣觸生受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,依此受生愛喜流,是名流源。云何亦塞其流源?謂眼界取心法境界繫著使,彼若盡、無慾、滅、息、沒,是名塞流源。耳、鼻、舌、身、意取心法境界繫著使,彼若盡、無慾、滅、息、沒,是名亦塞其流源。」

復問:「云何名習近相讚歎?」

尊者摩訶迦旃延答言:「在家、出家共相習近,同喜、同憂、同樂、同苦,凡所為作,悉皆共同,是名習近相讚歎。」

復問:「云何不讚嘆?」

「在家、出家不相習近,不同喜、不同憂、不同苦、不同樂,凡所為作,悉不相悅可,是名不相讚歎。」

「云何不空欲?」

「謂五欲功德,眼識色愛樂念長養,愛慾深染著。耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸愛樂念長養,愛慾深染著,於此五欲不離貪、不離愛、不離念、不離渴,是名不空欲。」

「云何名空欲?」

「謂於此五欲功德離貪、離欲、離愛、離念、離渴,是名空欲。說我係著使,是名心法還復滿

又問:『如何理解?』 尊者摩訶迦旃延回答說:『所謂因眼和色,產生眼識,三者和合產生觸,因觸產生感受,包括樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,依此產生染著和流動。耳、鼻、舌、身、意、意識、意識法,三者和合產生觸,因觸產生感受——樂受、苦受、不苦不樂受,依此感受產生愛喜的流動,這稱為流動的根源。如何才能堵塞流動的根源呢?所謂眼界攝取心法境界的繫縛,如果這些都滅盡、無慾、寂滅、止息、消失,就稱為堵塞了流動的根源。耳、鼻、舌、身、意攝取心法境界的繫縛,如果這些都滅盡、無慾、寂滅、止息、消失,就稱為也堵塞了流動的根源。』 又問:『如何稱為習近相讚歎?』 尊者摩訶迦旃延回答說:『在家和出家的人互相親近,同喜、同憂、同樂、同苦,凡是所作所為,都一起參與,這稱為習近相讚歎。』 又問:『如何稱為不讚嘆?』 『在家和出家的人不互相親近,不同喜、不同憂、不同苦、不同樂,凡是所作所為,都不互相悅納,這稱為不相讚歎。』 『如何稱為不空欲?』 『所謂五欲的功德,眼識對色產生愛樂的念頭並加以滋養,愛慾深深地染著。耳對聲、鼻對香、舌對味、身對觸產生愛樂的念頭並加以滋養,愛慾深深地染著,對於這五欲不離貪、不離愛、不離念、不離渴,這稱為不空欲。』 『如何稱為空欲?』 『所謂對於這五欲的功德,離貪、離欲、離愛、離念、離渴,這稱為空欲。說我被繫縛,這稱為心法恢復圓滿。』

Again he asked: 'What does that mean?' The Venerable Mahākātyāyana replied: 'It means that due to the eye and form, eye-consciousness arises; the combination of these three gives rise to contact; due to contact, feeling arises, including pleasant feeling, unpleasant feeling, and neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant feeling. Based on this, attachment and flow arise. Ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, mind-consciousness, and mind-consciousness-objects, the combination of these three gives rise to contact; due to contact, feeling arises—pleasant feeling, unpleasant feeling, and neither-pleasant-nor-unpleasant feeling. Based on this feeling, the flow of love and joy arises. This is called the source of flow. How can one block the source of flow? It means that the fetters of the mind's realm taken by the eye-sphere, if they are all extinguished, without desire, ceased, stopped, and disappeared, this is called blocking the source of flow. The fetters of the mind's realm taken by the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, if they are all extinguished, without desire, ceased, stopped, and disappeared, this is also called blocking the source of flow.' Again he asked: 'What is called 'practicing mutual praise'?' The Venerable Mahākātyāyana replied: 'When lay people and renunciates associate closely, sharing joy, sorrow, pleasure, and pain, and all their actions are done together, this is called practicing mutual praise.' Again he asked: 'What is called 'not praising'?' 'When lay people and renunciates do not associate closely, not sharing joy, sorrow, pain, or pleasure, and all their actions are not mutually agreeable, this is called not praising.' 'What is called 'not emptying desire'?' 'It means that regarding the merits of the five desires, the eye-consciousness generates a thought of love and pleasure for form and nurtures it, and desire is deeply attached. The ear for sound, the nose for smell, the tongue for taste, and the body for touch generate a thought of love and pleasure and nurture it, and desire is deeply attached. Regarding these five desires, not being free from greed, not being free from love, not being free from thought, and not being free from thirst, this is called not emptying desire.' 'What is called 'emptying desire'?' 'It means that regarding the merits of these five desires, being free from greed, free from desire, free from love, free from thought, and free from thirst, this is called emptying desire. Saying that I am bound by fetters, this is called the mind-dharma returning to fullness.'


。彼阿羅漢比丘諸漏已盡,斷其根本,如截多羅樹頭,于未來世更不復生。云何當復與他諍訟,是故世尊說義品答摩犍提所問偈:

「若斷一切流,  亦塞其流源,  聚落相習近,  牟尼不稱歎。  虛空于諸欲,  永已不還滿,  不復與世間,  共言語諍訟。

「是名如來所說偈義分別也。」

爾時,訶梨聚落長者聞尊者摩訶迦旃延所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(五五二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。爾時,尊者摩訶迦旃延住釋氏訶梨聚落精舍。

時,訶梨聚落主長者詣尊者摩訶迦旃延所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白尊者摩訶迦旃延:「如世尊于界隔山天帝釋石窟說言:『憍尸迦!若沙門、婆羅門無上愛盡解脫,心正善解脫,究竟邊際,究竟無垢,究竟梵行,畢竟清凈。』云何於此法、律究竟邊際,究竟無垢,究竟梵行,畢竟清凈?」

尊者摩訶迦旃延語長者言:「謂眼、眼識、眼識所識色相依生喜,彼若盡、無慾、滅、息、沒,於此法、律究竟邊際,究竟無垢,究竟梵行,畢竟清凈。耳、鼻、舌、身、意、意識、意識所識法相依生喜,彼若盡、滅、息、沒,比丘於此法、律究竟無垢,究竟梵行,畢竟清凈

現代漢語譯本: 那些阿羅漢比丘已經斷盡了一切煩惱,斬斷了煩惱的根源,就像砍斷了多羅樹的樹頭一樣,在未來的世間不會再次產生。他們怎麼還會與他人爭論呢?所以世尊在《義品》中用偈語回答了摩犍提的提問: 『如果斷絕了一切的流,也堵塞了流的源頭,與村落互相親近,牟尼不會稱讚。虛空對於各種慾望,永遠不會再被填滿,不再與世間,共同進行言語爭論。』 『這就是如來所說的偈語的意義解釋。』 當時,訶梨聚落的長者聽到尊者摩訶迦旃延所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離開了。

(五五二)

我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,尊者摩訶迦旃延住在釋迦族的訶梨聚落精舍。 當時,訶梨聚落的首領長者來到尊者摩訶迦旃延的住所,向他頂禮問候,然後退坐在一旁,對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『世尊在界隔山天帝釋石窟曾說過:「憍尸迦!如果沙門、婆羅門達到了無上愛盡解脫,內心真正得到解脫,達到了究竟的邊際,究竟的無垢,究竟的梵行,最終的清凈。」那麼,如何才能在這法和律中達到究竟的邊際,究竟的無垢,究竟的梵行,最終的清凈呢?』 尊者摩訶迦旃延對長者說:『所謂眼、眼識、眼識所認識的色相所產生的喜悅,如果這些都斷盡、無慾、滅除、止息、消失,那麼在這法和律中就達到了究竟的邊際,究竟的無垢,究竟的梵行,最終的清凈。耳、鼻、舌、身、意、意識、意識所認識的法相所產生的喜悅,如果這些都斷盡、滅除、止息、消失,那麼比丘在這法和律中就達到了究竟的無垢,究竟的梵行,最終的清凈。』

English version: Those Arhat Bhikkhus have exhausted all their defilements, cut off the root of defilements, just like cutting off the top of a Tala tree, and will not be reborn in the future world. How could they still argue with others? Therefore, the World Honored One, in the 'Meaning Chapter,' answered Magandhiya's question with a verse: 'If one cuts off all the streams, and also blocks the source of the streams, being close to villages, the Muni does not praise. The void for all desires, will never be filled again, and will no longer engage in verbal disputes with the world.' 'This is the explanation of the meaning of the verse spoken by the Tathagata.' At that time, the elder of the Hari village, upon hearing what the Venerable Maha Katyayana had said, rejoiced and praised, paid his respects, and departed.

(552)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the Venerable Maha Katyayana was dwelling in the Hari village monastery of the Sakyas. Then, the chief elder of Hari village went to the Venerable Maha Katyayana, bowed his head to his feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Venerable Maha Katyayana: 'The World Honored One, in the Sakra's stone cave on the mountain of the boundary, said: 「Kausika! If a Shramana or Brahmin has attained the supreme exhaustion of love and liberation, with a mind that is truly well liberated, reaching the ultimate boundary, the ultimate purity, the ultimate Brahma-faring, and the final purity.」 How can one, in this Dharma and Vinaya, reach the ultimate boundary, the ultimate purity, the ultimate Brahma-faring, and the final purity?' The Venerable Maha Katyayana said to the elder: 'That is, the joy that arises from the eye, eye-consciousness, and the forms cognized by eye-consciousness, if these are exhausted, without desire, extinguished, ceased, and disappeared, then in this Dharma and Vinaya, one has reached the ultimate boundary, the ultimate purity, the ultimate Brahma-faring, and the final purity. The joy that arises from the ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, mind-consciousness, and the dharmas cognized by mind-consciousness, if these are exhausted, extinguished, ceased, and disappeared, then a Bhikkhu in this Dharma and Vinaya has reached the ultimate purity, the ultimate Brahma-faring, and the final purity.'

尊者迦旃延語長者言:「若比丘眼界取,心法境界繫著使,彼若盡、無慾、息、沒,於此法、律究竟邊際,究竟無垢,究竟梵行,究竟清凈。耳、鼻、舌、身、意、意界取,心法境界繫著使,若盡、離、滅、息、沒,於此法、律究竟邊際,究竟無垢,究竟梵行,畢竟清凈。」

尊者迦旃延對長者說:『如果比丘對眼界有所執取,心被法境的繫縛所束縛,如果這些執取都滅盡、無慾、止息、消沒,那麼在這法、律中就達到了究竟邊際,究竟無垢,究竟梵行,究竟清凈。耳、鼻、舌、身、意、意界有所執取,心被法境的繫縛所束縛,如果這些執取都滅盡、離欲、止息、消沒,那麼在這法、律中就達到了究竟邊際,究竟無垢,究竟梵行,畢竟清凈。』

當時,訶梨聚落的首領長者身患疾病痛苦

English version Then, the headman of the Hari village, upon hearing what the Venerable Mahākātyāyana had said, rejoiced and approved, paid his respects, and departed.

(553)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī. At that time, the Venerable Mahākātyāyana was in the Hari village of the Śākyas.

The headman of the village went to the Venerable Mahākātyāyana, bowed his head at his feet, sat down to one side, and asked the Venerable Mahākātyāyana: 'As the Blessed One said to Śakra, the lord of the gods, in the cave of the mountain range: 'Kauśika! If a śramaṇa or a brahmin has attained the unsurpassed extinction of craving, liberation of mind, ultimate limit, ultimate purity, ultimate holy life, and complete purity.' How does one in this Dharma and Discipline reach the ultimate limit, ultimate purity, ultimate holy life, and complete purity?'

The Venerable Kātyāyana said to the headman: 'If a bhikkhu takes hold of the eye realm, and the mind is bound by the fetters of the object of the mind, if these are extinguished, without desire, ceased, and dissolved, then in this Dharma and Discipline, one has reached the ultimate limit, ultimate purity, ultimate holy life, and complete purity. If one takes hold of the ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, and mind realm, and the mind is bound by the fetters of the object of the mind, if these are extinguished, without desire, ceased, and dissolved, then in this Dharma and Discipline, one has reached the ultimate limit, ultimate purity, ultimate holy life, and complete purity.'

Then, the headman of the Hari village, upon hearing what the Venerable Mahākātyāyana had said, rejoiced and approved, paid his respects, and departed.

Then, the headman of the Hari village was suffering from illness and pain.


。尊者摩訶迦旃延聞訶梨聚落主長者身遭病苦,聞已,晨朝著衣持缽,入訶梨聚落乞食,次第入訶梨聚落主長者舍。訶梨聚落主長者遙見尊者摩訶迦旃延,從座欲起。

尊者摩訶迦旃延見長者欲起,即告之言:「長者莫起!幸有餘座,我自可坐于餘座。」語長者言:「云何?長者!病可忍不?身諸苦痛漸差愈不?得無增耶?」

長者答言:「尊者!我病難忍,身諸苦痛轉增無損。」

即說三種譬,如前叉摩比丘經說。

尊者摩訶迦旃延語長者言:「是故,汝當修佛不壞凈、法不壞凈、僧不壞凈、聖戒成就,當如是學。」

長者答言:「如佛所說四不壞凈,我悉成就,我今成就佛不壞凈、法不壞凈、僧不壞凈、聖戒成就。」

尊者摩訶迦旃延語長者言:「汝當依此四不壞凈修習六念。長者!當唸佛功德,此如來、應、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊。念法功德,於世尊正法、律現法離諸熱惱,非時通達,緣自覺悟,念僧功德,善向、正向、直向、等向,修隨順行,謂向須陀洹、得須陀洹,向斯陀含、得斯陀含,向阿那含、得阿那含,向阿羅漢、得阿羅漢

現代漢語譯本: 尊者摩訶迦旃延聽說訶梨聚落的首領長者身患疾病,聽到后,早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入訶梨聚落乞食,依次來到訶梨聚落首領長者的住所。訶梨聚落的首領長者遠遠地看見尊者摩訶迦旃延,想要從座位上起身。 尊者摩訶迦旃延看見長者想要起身,就告訴他說:『長者不要起身!如果還有空位,我自己可以坐到空位上。』他問長者說:『怎麼樣?長者!你的病還能忍受嗎?身體的各種痛苦漸漸好轉了嗎?有沒有加重呢?』 長者回答說:『尊者!我的病難以忍受,身體的各種痛苦反而加重,沒有減輕。』 接著說了三種譬喻,如同之前叉摩比丘經所說。 尊者摩訶迦旃延對長者說:『因此,你應當修習對佛的不壞凈信、對法的不壞凈信、對僧的不壞凈信、以及成就聖戒,應當這樣學習。』 長者回答說:『如佛所說的四種不壞凈信,我都已成就,我現在成就了對佛的不壞凈信、對法的不壞凈信、對僧的不壞凈信、以及成就了聖戒。』 尊者摩訶迦旃延對長者說:『你應當依據這四種不壞凈信修習六種憶念。長者!應當憶念佛的功德,這位如來、應供、正等覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊。憶念法的功德,在世尊的正法、律中,現世就能遠離各種熱惱,不需等待時機就能通達,依靠自己覺悟,憶念僧的功德,善於趨向、正直趨向、直接趨向、平等趨向,修習隨順的修行,即趨向須陀洹、證得須陀洹,趨向斯陀含、證得斯陀含,趨向阿那含、證得阿那含,趨向阿羅漢、證得阿羅漢。』

English version: Venerable Mahākātyāyana heard that the head elder of Harī village was suffering from illness. Upon hearing this, he dressed in the morning, took his bowl, and entered Harī village to beg for food, going in order to the residence of the head elder of Harī village. The head elder of Harī village saw Venerable Mahākātyāyana from afar and wanted to rise from his seat. Venerable Mahākātyāyana, seeing that the elder wanted to rise, told him, 'Elder, do not rise! If there is a spare seat, I can sit on it myself.' He asked the elder, 'How is it, elder? Is your illness bearable? Are the various pains in your body gradually improving? Or have they worsened?' The elder replied, 'Venerable, my illness is unbearable, and the various pains in my body have increased rather than decreased.' Then he spoke three similes, as mentioned in the previous discourse of the monk Kṣama. Venerable Mahākātyāyana said to the elder, 'Therefore, you should cultivate unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma, unwavering faith in the Sangha, and the accomplishment of noble precepts. You should learn in this way.' The elder replied, 'As the Buddha has spoken of the four unwavering faiths, I have accomplished them all. I have now accomplished unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma, unwavering faith in the Sangha, and the accomplishment of noble precepts.' Venerable Mahākātyāyana said to the elder, 'You should, based on these four unwavering faiths, cultivate the six recollections. Elder! You should recollect the virtues of the Buddha, this Tathāgata, worthy one, perfectly enlightened one, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, gone to bliss, knower of the world, unsurpassed one, trainer of those who can be trained, teacher of gods and humans, the Buddha, the Blessed One. Recollect the virtues of the Dharma, in the Blessed One's true Dharma and discipline, one can in this very life be free from all torments, attain understanding without waiting for the right time, and awaken through one's own realization. Recollect the virtues of the Sangha, those who are well-directed, rightly directed, directly directed, and equally directed, practicing in accordance with the path, that is, those who are directed towards becoming a Stream-enterer and attain Stream-entry, those who are directed towards becoming a Once-returner and attain Once-return, those who are directed towards becoming a Non-returner and attain Non-return, those who are directed towards becoming an Arhat and attain Arhatship.'


。如是四雙八士,是名世尊弟子僧,具足戒、定、慧、解脫、解脫知見,供養、恭敬、尊重之處,堪為世間無上福田。念戒功德,自持正戒,不毀不缺,不斷不壞,非盜取戒、究竟戒、可讚嘆戒、梵行戒、不憎惡戒。念施功德,自念佈施,心自欣慶,舍除慳貪,雖在居家,解脫心施、常施、樂施、具足施、平等施。念天功德,念四王天、三十三天、炎摩天、兜率陀天、化樂天、他化自在天,清凈信戒,於此命終,生彼天中。我亦如是清凈信、戒、施、聞、慧,生彼天中。長者!如是覺依四不壞凈,增六念處。」

長者白尊者摩訶迦旃延:「世尊說依四不壞凈,增六念處,我悉成就,我當修習唸佛功德,念法、念僧、念戒、念施、念天。」

尊者摩訶迦旃延語長者言:「善哉!長者!能自記說,得阿那含。」

是時,長者白尊者摩訶迦旃延,愿於此食。

尊者摩訶迦旃延默然受請。

訶梨聚落主長者知尊者摩訶迦旃延受請已,具種種凈美食,自手供養。飯食訖,澡缽、洗嗽畢,為長者種種說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,從座起去。

(五五五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。爾時,尊者摩訶迦旃延于釋氏訶梨聚落住

現代漢語譯本:『如果他們是四雙八士,就稱為世尊的弟子僧團,他們具足戒、定、慧、解脫、解脫知見,是值得供養、恭敬、尊重之處,堪為世間無上的福田。』他們憶念戒的功德,自己持守正戒,不毀壞、不缺漏,不斷絕、不敗壞,不是盜取的戒,是究竟的戒,是可讚嘆的戒,是梵行的戒,是不憎惡的戒。他們憶念佈施的功德,自己憶念佈施,心中感到欣喜,捨棄慳吝貪婪,即使在家,也以解脫的心佈施,經常佈施,樂於佈施,具足佈施,平等佈施。他們憶念天的功德,憶念四王天、三十三天、炎摩天、兜率陀天、化樂天、他化自在天,他們清凈的信和戒,在此生命終結后,會生到那些天界中。『我也像他們一樣,有清凈的信、戒、佈施、聞、慧,也會生到那些天界中。』長者!像這樣覺悟並依靠四種不壞的清凈,可以增長六種憶念之處。」 長者對尊者摩訶迦旃延說:『世尊所說的依靠四種不壞的清凈,可以增長六種憶念之處,我都已經成就了,我應當修習憶念佛的功德,憶念法、憶念僧、憶念戒、憶念佈施、憶念天。』 尊者摩訶迦旃延對長者說:『善哉!長者!你能夠自己記述,已經證得阿那含果。』 當時,長者對尊者摩訶迦旃延說,希望在這裡用餐。 尊者摩訶迦旃延默然接受了邀請。 訶梨聚落的主長者知道尊者摩訶迦旃延接受了邀請后,準備了各種乾淨美味的食物,親自供養。飯食完畢,洗缽、漱口后,為長者宣說各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使之歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、使之歡喜后,從座位起身離去。 (五五五) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,尊者摩訶迦旃延住在釋迦族的訶梨聚落。

English version: 'If they are the four pairs of eight individuals, they are called the Sangha of the World Honored One's disciples, possessing the precepts, concentration, wisdom, liberation, and the knowledge and vision of liberation. They are worthy of offerings, respect, and reverence, and are a supreme field of merit in the world.' They contemplate the merit of precepts, upholding the correct precepts themselves, without breaking, lacking, severing, or corrupting them. They are not precepts that are stolen, but ultimate precepts, praiseworthy precepts, precepts of the pure life, and precepts without hatred. They contemplate the merit of giving, contemplating their own giving, feeling joy in their hearts, abandoning stinginess and greed. Even while living at home, they give with a liberated mind, give regularly, give joyfully, give completely, and give equally. They contemplate the merit of the heavens, contemplating the Four Heavenly Kings, the Thirty-three Gods, the Yama Heaven, the Tusita Heaven, the Nimmanarati Heaven, and the Paranimmita Vasavatti Heaven. With their pure faith and precepts, upon the end of this life, they will be reborn in those heavens. 'I, too, like them, have pure faith, precepts, giving, learning, and wisdom, and will be reborn in those heavens.' Elder! Thus, awakening and relying on the four indestructible purities, one can increase the six objects of mindfulness.」 The elder said to the Venerable Mahākātyāyana, 'The World Honored One said that by relying on the four indestructible purities, one can increase the six objects of mindfulness. I have accomplished all of these. I should practice mindfulness of the Buddha's merits, mindfulness of the Dharma, mindfulness of the Sangha, mindfulness of the precepts, mindfulness of giving, and mindfulness of the heavens.' The Venerable Mahākātyāyana said to the elder, 'Excellent! Elder! You are able to declare yourself, having attained the Anāgāmi fruit.' At that time, the elder said to the Venerable Mahākātyāyana, wishing to have a meal there. The Venerable Mahākātyāyana silently accepted the invitation. The chief elder of the Hāri village, knowing that the Venerable Mahākātyāyana had accepted the invitation, prepared various clean and delicious foods and offered them with his own hands. After the meal, having washed his bowl and rinsed his mouth, he expounded various teachings to the elder, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening him; having shown, taught, illuminated, and gladdened him, he rose from his seat and departed. (555) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī. At that time, the Venerable Mahākātyāyana was dwelling in the Hāri village of the Śākyas.


時,有八城長者名曰陀施,身遭病苦。尊者摩訶迦旃延聞陀施長者身遭苦患,晨朝著衣持缽,入八城乞食,次到陀施長者舍,如訶梨長者經廣說。

(五五六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住娑祇城安禪林中。

爾時眾多比丘尼詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面。

爾時,世尊為眾多比丘尼種種說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,默然住。

時,諸比丘尼白佛言:「世尊!若無相心三昧,不涌、不沒,解脫已住,住已解脫,此無相心三昧,世尊說是何果、何功德?」

佛告諸比丘尼:「若無相心三昧,不涌、不沒,解脫已住,住已解脫,此無相心三昧智果、智功德。」

時,諸比丘尼聞世尊所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

時,眾多比丘尼往詣尊者阿難所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白尊者阿難:「若無相心三昧,不涌、不沒,解脫已住,住已解脫,此三昧說,是何果、何功德?」

尊者阿難語諸比丘尼:「姊妹!若無相心三昧,不涌、不沒、解脫已住,住已解脫,世尊說是智果、智功德。」

諸比丘尼言:「奇哉!尊者阿難!大師及弟子同句、同味、同義,所謂第一句義

現代漢語譯本 當時,有八個城市的長老名叫陀施,他身患疾病,遭受痛苦。尊者摩訶迦旃延聽說陀施長老身患疾病,早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入八個城市乞食,然後來到陀施長老的住所,就像《訶梨長者經》中詳細描述的那樣。

(五五六)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在娑祇城的安禪林中。

當時,許多比丘尼來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀頂禮,然後退到一旁站立。

這時,世尊為眾多比丘尼宣講各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使她們歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、使她們歡喜后,便默然不語。

這時,比丘尼們對佛陀說:『世尊!如果無相心三昧,不生起、不消滅,解脫后安住,安住后解脫,這無相心三昧,世尊說它是什麼果報、什麼功德?』

佛陀告訴比丘尼們:『如果無相心三昧,不生起、不消滅,解脫后安住,安住后解脫,這無相心三昧是智慧的果報、智慧的功德。』

這時,比丘尼們聽了世尊所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。

這時,許多比丘尼前往尊者阿難的住所,向阿難頂禮,然後退到一旁坐下,對尊者阿難說:『如果無相心三昧,不生起、不消滅,解脫后安住,安住后解脫,這三昧,您說它是什麼果報、什麼功德?』

尊者阿難對比丘尼們說:『姐妹們!如果無相心三昧,不生起、不消滅,解脫后安住,安住后解脫,世尊說它是智慧的果報、智慧的功德。』

比丘尼們說:『真是奇妙啊!尊者阿難!大師和弟子們所說的話語、含義、道理都相同,這就是所謂的第一句義。』

English version At that time, there was an elder of eight cities named Tosa, who was suffering from illness. The Venerable Mahakatyayana, having heard that Elder Tosa was suffering from illness, put on his robes in the morning, took his bowl, entered the eight cities to beg for food, and then arrived at Elder Tosa's residence, as described in detail in the 'Harita Elder Sutra'.

(556)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Anjana Grove in the city of Saketa.

At that time, many bhikkhunis went to the Buddha, bowed their heads at his feet, and stood to one side.

Then, the Blessed One taught the many bhikkhunis various aspects of the Dharma, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening them; having shown, instructed, illuminated, and gladdened them, he remained silent.

Then, the bhikkhunis said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, if the signless concentration of mind does not arise or cease, and one dwells in liberation, and having dwelt, is liberated, what is the fruit and merit of this signless concentration of mind, as described by the Blessed One?'

The Buddha told the bhikkhunis: 'If the signless concentration of mind does not arise or cease, and one dwells in liberation, and having dwelt, is liberated, this signless concentration of mind is the fruit of wisdom and the merit of wisdom.'

Then, the bhikkhunis, having heard what the Blessed One had said, rejoiced and were pleased, paid their respects, and departed.

Then, many bhikkhunis went to the Venerable Ananda, bowed their heads at his feet, sat to one side, and said to the Venerable Ananda: 'If the signless concentration of mind does not arise or cease, and one dwells in liberation, and having dwelt, is liberated, what is the fruit and merit of this concentration, as you describe it?'

The Venerable Ananda said to the bhikkhunis: 'Sisters, if the signless concentration of mind does not arise or cease, and one dwells in liberation, and having dwelt, is liberated, the Blessed One says it is the fruit of wisdom and the merit of wisdom.'

The bhikkhunis said: 'How wonderful! Venerable Ananda! The Master and his disciples have the same words, the same meaning, and the same understanding, this is what is called the meaning of the first sentence.'


。今諸比丘尼詣世尊所,以如是句、如是味、如是義問世尊,世尊亦已如是句、如是味、如是義為我等說,如尊者阿難所說不異,是故奇特,大師及弟子同句、同味、同義。」

時,諸比丘尼聞尊者阿難所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(五五七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園。爾時,尊者阿難亦在彼住。

時,有阇知羅比丘尼詣尊者阿難所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,問尊者阿難:「若無相心三昧,不涌、不沒,解脫已住,住已解脫。尊者阿難!世尊說此何果、何功德?」

尊者阿難語阇知羅比丘尼:「若無相心三昧,不涌、不沒,解脫已住,住已解脫,世尊說是智果、智功德。」

阇知羅比丘尼言:「奇哉!尊者阿難!大師及弟子同句、同味、同義。尊者阿難!昔於一時,佛在娑祇城安禪林中。時,有眾多比丘尼往詣佛所,問如此義。爾時,世尊以如是句、如是味、如是義為諸比丘尼說,是故當知奇特,大師弟子所說同句、同味、同義,所謂第一句義。」

時,阇知羅比丘尼聞尊者阿難所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

如阇知羅比丘尼,迦羅跋比丘尼亦爾。

(五五八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住俱睒彌國瞿師羅園

現代漢語譯本:現在這些比丘尼去到世尊那裡,用同樣的語句、同樣的含義、同樣的道理請問世尊,世尊也用同樣的語句、同樣的含義、同樣的道理為我們解說,和尊者阿難所說的一樣,沒有差別,所以真是奇特,大師和弟子所說的語句、含義、道理都相同。 當時,那些比丘尼聽了尊者阿難所說的話,都非常高興,隨喜讚歎,行禮后就離開了。 (五五七) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。當時,尊者阿難也住在那裡。 當時,有一位名叫阇知羅的比丘尼去到尊者阿難那裡,向他行禮問候,然後退坐在一旁,問尊者阿難:『如果無相心三昧,不生起也不消滅,解脫已經安住,安住后就解脫了。尊者阿難!世尊說這會帶來什麼結果、什麼功德呢?』 尊者阿難告訴阇知羅比丘尼:『如果無相心三昧,不生起也不消滅,解脫已經安住,安住后就解脫了,世尊說這是智慧的結果、智慧的功德。』 阇知羅比丘尼說:『真是奇特啊!尊者阿難!大師和弟子所說的語句、含義、道理都相同。尊者阿難!以前有一次,佛陀在娑祇城的安禪林中。當時,有很多比丘尼去到佛陀那裡,問了同樣的問題。那時,世尊用同樣的語句、同樣的含義、同樣的道理為那些比丘尼解說,所以應當知道真是奇特,大師和弟子所說的語句、含義、道理都相同,這就是第一句的含義。』 當時,阇知羅比丘尼聽了尊者阿難所說的話,都非常高興,隨喜讚歎,行禮后就離開了。 就像阇知羅比丘尼一樣,迦羅跋比丘尼也是這樣。 (五五八) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。

English version: Now, these bhikkhunis went to the Blessed One and asked him with the same words, the same meaning, and the same explanation. The Blessed One also explained to us with the same words, the same meaning, and the same explanation, just as Venerable Ananda has said, without any difference. Therefore, it is wonderful that the Master and the disciples use the same words, the same meaning, and the same explanation. Then, the bhikkhunis, having heard what Venerable Ananda had said, rejoiced and were delighted. They paid their respects and departed. (557) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Ghosita Park in Kosambi. At that time, Venerable Ananda was also dwelling there. Then, a bhikkhuni named Jāṇu-sīlā went to Venerable Ananda, bowed her head at his feet, and sat down to one side. She asked Venerable Ananda: 'If the signless concentration of mind does not arise or cease, and liberation is established, and having been established, there is liberation, Venerable Ananda, what result and what merit does the Blessed One say this has?' Venerable Ananda said to Jāṇu-sīlā bhikkhuni: 'If the signless concentration of mind does not arise or cease, and liberation is established, and having been established, there is liberation, the Blessed One says that this is the result of wisdom and the merit of wisdom.' Jāṇu-sīlā bhikkhuni said: 'It is wonderful, Venerable Ananda! The Master and the disciples use the same words, the same meaning, and the same explanation. Venerable Ananda, once upon a time, the Buddha was in the Anjana Grove in Saketa. At that time, many bhikkhunis went to the Buddha and asked the same question. Then, the Blessed One explained to those bhikkhunis with the same words, the same meaning, and the same explanation. Therefore, it should be known that it is wonderful that the Master and the disciples use the same words, the same meaning, and the same explanation, which is the meaning of the first statement.' Then, Jāṇu-sīlā bhikkhuni, having heard what Venerable Ananda had said, rejoiced and was delighted. She paid her respects and departed. Just like Jāṇu-sīlā bhikkhuni, so too was Kāla-bālikā bhikkhuni. (558) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Ghosita Park in Kosambi.


。爾時,尊者阿難亦住俱睒彌國瞿師羅園。

時,有異比丘得無相心三昧,作是念:「我若詣尊者阿難所,問尊者阿難:『若比丘得無相心三昧,不涌、不沒,解脫已住,住已解脫,此無相心三昧何果?世尊說此何功德?』尊者阿難若問我言:『比丘!汝得此無相心三昧耶?』『我未曾有。』實問異答。我當隨逐尊者阿難,脫有餘人問此義者,因而得聞。」

彼比丘即隨尊者阿難,經六年中,無有餘人問此義者,即自問尊者阿難:「若比丘問無相心三昧,不涌、不沒,解脫已住,住已解脫,世尊說此是何果、何功德?」

尊者阿難問彼比丘言:「比丘!汝得此三昧?」

彼比丘默然住,尊者阿難語彼比丘言:「若比丘得無相心三昧,不涌、不沒,解脫已住,住已解脫,世尊說此是智果、智功德。」

尊者阿難說此法時,異比丘聞其所說,歡喜奉行。

(五五九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅利弗妒路國,尊者阿難及尊者迦摩亦在波羅利弗妒路雞林精舍

現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者阿難也住在俱睒彌國的瞿師羅園。 當時,有一位比丘證得了無相心三昧,他心想:『我如果去尊者阿難那裡,問他:『如果一位比丘證得了無相心三昧,不生起也不消退,已經解脫而安住,安住于解脫,這無相心三昧有什麼果報?世尊說它有什麼功德?』如果尊者阿難問我:『比丘,你證得這無相心三昧了嗎?』我回答說:『我沒有證得。』這樣就成了實際問卻回答了不同的內容。我應當跟隨尊者阿難,或許有其他人問到這個問題,我就可以因此聽到答案。』 那位比丘就跟隨尊者阿難,經過了六年,沒有其他人問到這個問題,他就自己問尊者阿難:『如果一位比丘問到無相心三昧,不生起也不消退,已經解脫而安住,安住于解脫,世尊說這是什麼果報,什麼功德?』 尊者阿難問那位比丘說:『比丘,你證得這個三昧了嗎?』 那位比丘沉默不語,尊者阿難對那位比丘說:『如果一位比丘證得了無相心三昧,不生起也不消退,已經解脫而安住,安住于解脫,世尊說這是智慧的果報,智慧的功德。』 尊者阿難說這個法的時候,那位比丘聽了他說的話,歡喜地奉行。 《雜阿含經》卷第二十 大正藏第02冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第二十一 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (五五九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在波羅利弗妒路國,尊者阿難和尊者迦摩也住在波羅利弗妒路雞林精舍。

English version: At that time, the Venerable Ananda was also dwelling in Ghosira Garden in the country of Kausambi. Then, there was a certain bhikkhu who had attained the signless concentration of mind. He thought, 'If I were to go to the Venerable Ananda and ask him, 「If a bhikkhu attains the signless concentration of mind, neither arising nor ceasing, having been liberated and abiding, abiding in liberation, what is the fruit of this signless concentration of mind? What merit did the Blessed One say it has?」 If the Venerable Ananda were to ask me, 「Bhikkhu, have you attained this signless concentration of mind?」 and I were to say, 「I have not,」 it would be a different answer from the actual question. I should follow the Venerable Ananda, and perhaps if someone else were to ask about this matter, I could hear the answer.' That bhikkhu then followed the Venerable Ananda. After six years, no one else had asked about this matter. So he himself asked the Venerable Ananda, 'If a bhikkhu asks about the signless concentration of mind, neither arising nor ceasing, having been liberated and abiding, abiding in liberation, what fruit and what merit did the Blessed One say it has?' The Venerable Ananda asked that bhikkhu, 'Bhikkhu, have you attained this concentration?' That bhikkhu remained silent. The Venerable Ananda said to that bhikkhu, 'If a bhikkhu attains the signless concentration of mind, neither arising nor ceasing, having been liberated and abiding, abiding in liberation, the Blessed One said that it is the fruit of wisdom, the merit of wisdom.' When the Venerable Ananda spoke this Dharma, that bhikkhu, having heard what he said, rejoiced and practiced it. The Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 20 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 02, No. 0099, Samyukta Agama Sutra The Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 21 Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Guṇabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India (559) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the country of Parali-putra-du, and the Venerable Ananda and the Venerable Kama were also dwelling in the Chicken Grove Monastery in Parali-putra-du.


時,尊者迦摩詣尊者阿難所,共相問訊慰勞已,於一面坐。語尊者阿難:「奇哉!尊者阿難!有眼有色、有耳有聲、有鼻有香、有舌有味、有身有觸、有意有法,而有比丘有是等法,能不覺知。云何?尊者阿難!彼比丘為有想不覺知,為無想故不覺知?」

尊者阿難語迦摩比丘言:「有想者亦不覺知,況復無想。」

復問尊者阿難:「何等為有想于有而不覺知?」

尊者阿難語迦摩比丘言:「若比丘離欲、惡不善法,有覺有觀,離生喜樂,初禪具足住。如是有想比丘有法而不覺知。如是第二、第三、第四禪,空入處、識入處、無所有入處具足住。如是有想比丘有法而不覺知。云何無想有法而不覺知?如是比丘一切想不憶念,無想心三昧身作證具足住,是名比丘無想于有法而不覺知。」

尊者迦摩比丘復問尊者阿難:「若比丘無想心三昧,不涌不沒,解脫已住,住已解脫,世尊說此是何果、何功德?」

尊者阿難語迦摩比丘言:「若比丘無想心三昧,不涌不沒,解脫已住,住已解脫,世尊說此是智果、智功德。」

時,二正士共論議已,歡喜隨喜,各從坐起去。

現代漢語譯本: 當時,迦摩尊者來到阿難尊者處,互相問候慰勞后,在一旁坐下。他問阿難尊者:『真是奇怪啊,阿難尊者!有眼睛能看到顏色,有耳朵能聽到聲音,有鼻子能聞到氣味,有舌頭能嚐到味道,有身體能感受到觸覺,有意識能感知事物,而有些比丘擁有這些感官和對象,卻不能覺知。這是怎麼回事呢?阿難尊者!那些比丘是因為有念頭而不能覺知,還是因為沒有念頭而不能覺知?』 阿難尊者對迦摩比丘說:『有念頭的人也不能覺知,更何況是沒有念頭的人呢。』 迦摩比丘又問阿難尊者:『什麼是有念頭卻不能覺知呢?』 阿難尊者對迦摩比丘說:『如果比丘遠離慾望、邪惡的不善之法,有覺有觀,因遠離(欲)而生喜樂,具足安住于初禪。像這樣有念頭的比丘,擁有感官和對像卻不能覺知。同樣的,第二禪、第三禪、第四禪,以及空無邊處、識無邊處、無所有處,都具足安住。像這樣有念頭的比丘,擁有感官和對像卻不能覺知。那麼,沒有念頭卻不能覺知又是怎麼回事呢?如果比丘一切念頭都不憶念,以無念的心三昧,身體作證而具足安住,這就叫做比丘沒有念頭,擁有感官和對像卻不能覺知。』 迦摩比丘又問阿難尊者:『如果比丘處於無念心三昧,不生起也不消退,已經解脫而安住,安住后又解脫,世尊說這是什麼果報、什麼功德呢?』 阿難尊者對迦摩比丘說:『如果比丘處於無念心三昧,不生起也不消退,已經解脫而安住,安住后又解脫,世尊說這是智慧的果報、智慧的功德。』 當時,兩位賢者互相討論完畢,都歡喜隨順,各自從座位起身離去。 (五六〇) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在俱睒彌國的瞿師羅園。當時,阿難尊者也住在那裡。

English version: At one time, Venerable Kamma went to where Venerable Ananda was, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries, sat down to one side. He said to Venerable Ananda, 『It』s amazing, Venerable Ananda! There are eyes and sights, ears and sounds, noses and smells, tongues and tastes, bodies and touches, minds and thoughts, and yet there are monks who, having these things, are not aware of them. How is this? Venerable Ananda! Are those monks unaware because they have perceptions, or because they have no perceptions?』 Venerable Ananda said to Kamma the monk, 『Those with perceptions are also unaware, let alone those without perceptions.』 Venerable Kamma then asked Venerable Ananda, 『What is it to have perceptions and yet be unaware?』 Venerable Ananda said to Kamma the monk, 『If a monk, having abandoned sensual desires and unwholesome states, enters and abides in the first jhana, which is accompanied by directed thought and evaluation, born of seclusion, and filled with joy and pleasure, such a monk with perceptions is unaware of these things. Similarly, the second, third, and fourth jhanas, as well as the sphere of infinite space, the sphere of infinite consciousness, and the sphere of nothingness, are all abided in. Such a monk with perceptions is unaware of these things. How is it that one without perceptions is unaware of these things? If a monk does not recall any perceptions, and abides in the cessation of perception and feeling, having realized it with his body, this is called a monk without perceptions being unaware of these things.』 Venerable Kamma the monk then asked Venerable Ananda, 『If a monk is in the cessation of perception and feeling, neither arising nor ceasing, having been liberated and abiding, and having abided, is liberated, what is the fruit and benefit of this, as the Blessed One has said?』 Venerable Ananda said to Kamma the monk, 『If a monk is in the cessation of perception and feeling, neither arising nor ceasing, having been liberated and abiding, and having abided, is liberated, the Blessed One has said that this is the fruit and benefit of wisdom.』 Then, the two noble ones, having discussed this, rejoiced and were pleased, and each rose from their seat and departed. (560) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Ghosita Park in Kosambi. At that time, Venerable Ananda was also staying there.


時,尊者阿難告諸比丘:「若比丘!比丘尼於我前自記說,我當善哉慰勞問訊,或求以四道。何等為四?若比丘、比丘尼坐,作如是住心、善住心、局住心、調伏心、止、觀、一心、等受,分別於法量度,修習多修習已,得斷諸使。若有比丘、比丘尼於我前自記說,我則如是善哉慰喻,或求是,名說初道。

「複次,比丘、比丘尼正坐思惟,於法選擇,思量住心,善住、局住,調伏止觀,一心等受。如是正向多住,得離諸使,若有比丘、比丘尼於我前自記說,我當如是善哉慰喻,或求是,名第二說道。

「複次,比丘、比丘尼為掉亂所持,以調伏心坐、正坐,住心、善住心、局住心,調伏止觀,一心等受化。如是正向多住已,則斷諸使,若有比丘、比丘尼於我前自記說,我則如是善哉慰喻,或求是,名第三說道。

「複次,比丘、比丘尼止觀和合俱行,作如是正向多住,則斷諸使。若比丘、比丘尼於我前自記說者,我則如是善哉慰喻教誡,或求是,名第四說道。」

時,諸比丘聞尊者阿難所說,歡喜奉行。

(五六一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住俱睒彌國瞿師羅園,尊者阿難亦在彼住

現代漢語譯本: 當時,尊者阿難告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘或比丘尼在我面前自我陳述,我應當好好地安慰問候他們,或者尋求四種方法。哪四種呢?如果比丘或比丘尼坐著,像這樣安住心、善安住心、專注安住心、調伏心,止、觀、一心、等受,分別衡量法,修習並多次修習后,得以斷除各種煩惱。如果有比丘或比丘尼在我面前自我陳述,我就會這樣好好地安慰他們,或者尋求這種方法,這稱為第一種方法。 『再者,比丘或比丘尼端正坐著思考,選擇法,思量安住心、善安住、專注安住,調伏止觀,一心等受。像這樣正確地傾向並多次安住,得以脫離各種煩惱。如果有比丘或比丘尼在我面前自我陳述,我應當這樣好好地安慰他們,或者尋求這種方法,這稱為第二種方法。 『再者,比丘或比丘尼被散亂所控制,用調伏的心坐著、端正坐著,安住心、善安住心、專注安住心,調伏止觀,一心等受。像這樣正確地傾向並多次安住后,就斷除了各種煩惱。如果有比丘或比丘尼在我面前自我陳述,我就會這樣好好地安慰他們,或者尋求這種方法,這稱為第三種方法。 『再者,比丘或比丘尼止觀結合並行,像這樣正確地傾向並多次安住,就斷除了各種煩惱。如果有比丘或比丘尼在我面前自我陳述,我就會這樣好好地安慰教誡他們,或者尋求這種方法,這稱為第四種方法。』 當時,眾比丘聽聞尊者阿難所說,歡喜地奉行。 (五六一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在俱睒彌國的瞿師羅園,尊者阿難也住在那裡。

English version: At that time, the Venerable Ananda told the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni declares to me, I should properly comfort and inquire of them, or seek four ways. What are the four? If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni sits, thus abiding in mind, well-abiding in mind, focused-abiding in mind, subdued mind, cessation, insight, one-pointedness, and equanimity, discerning and measuring the Dharma, having practiced and repeatedly practiced, they attain the cessation of all defilements. If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni declares to me, I will thus properly comfort them, or seek this way, this is called the first way.' 'Furthermore, a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni sits upright, contemplating, choosing the Dharma, considering abiding in mind, well-abiding, focused-abiding, subduing cessation and insight, one-pointedness, and equanimity. Thus correctly inclining and repeatedly abiding, they attain freedom from all defilements. If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni declares to me, I should thus properly comfort them, or seek this way, this is called the second way.' 'Furthermore, a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni is held by distraction, sitting with a subdued mind, sitting upright, abiding in mind, well-abiding in mind, focused-abiding in mind, subduing cessation and insight, one-pointedness, and equanimity. Thus correctly inclining and repeatedly abiding, they then cease all defilements. If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni declares to me, I will thus properly comfort them, or seek this way, this is called the third way.' 'Furthermore, a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni combines cessation and insight, proceeding together, thus correctly inclining and repeatedly abiding, they then cease all defilements. If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni declares to me, I will thus properly comfort and instruct them, or seek this way, this is called the fourth way.' At that time, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Venerable Ananda said, joyfully practiced it. (561) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Ghosita Park in Kosambi, and the Venerable Ananda was also dwelling there.


時,有異婆羅門詣尊者阿難所,共相問訊慰勞已,於一面坐,問尊者阿難:「何故於沙門瞿曇所修梵行?」

尊者阿難語婆羅門:「為斷故。」

復問:「尊者何所斷?」

答言:「斷愛。」

復問:「尊者阿難!何所依而得斷愛?」

答言:「婆羅門!依于欲而斷愛。」

復問:「尊者阿難!豈非無邊際?」

答言:「婆羅門!非無邊際。如是有邊際,非無邊際。」

復問:「尊者阿難!云何有邊際,非無邊際。」

答言:「婆羅門!我今問汝,隨意答我。婆羅門!于意云何?汝先有欲來詣精舍不?」

婆羅門答言:「如是,阿難!」

「如是,婆羅門!來至精舍已,彼欲息不?」

答言:「如是,尊者阿難!彼精進、方便、籌量,來詣精舍。」

復問:「至精舍已,彼精進、方便、籌量息不?」

答言:「如是,尊者阿難!」

復語婆羅門:「如是,婆羅門!如來、應、等正覺所知所見,說四如意足,以一乘道凈眾生、滅苦惱、斷憂悲。何等為四?欲定斷行成就如意足,精進定、心定、思惟定斷行成就如意足

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位外道婆羅門來到尊者阿難的住所,互相問候慰問之後,在一旁坐下,問尊者阿難:『為什麼要在沙門瞿曇那裡修行梵行呢?』 尊者阿難對婆羅門說:『爲了斷除(煩惱)。』 (婆羅門)又問:『尊者要斷除什麼呢?』 (阿難)回答說:『斷除愛慾。』 (婆羅門)又問:『尊者阿難!依靠什麼才能斷除愛慾呢?』 (阿難)回答說:『婆羅門!依靠慾念來斷除愛慾。』 (婆羅門)又問:『尊者阿難!難道不是沒有邊際的嗎?』 (阿難)回答說:『婆羅門!不是沒有邊際。像這樣是有邊際的,不是沒有邊際的。』 (婆羅門)又問:『尊者阿難!怎樣是有邊際的,而不是沒有邊際的呢?』 (阿難)回答說:『婆羅門!我現在問你,你隨意回答我。婆羅門!你認為怎麼樣?你先前有想來精舍的慾望嗎?』 婆羅門回答說:『是的,阿難!』 『像這樣,婆羅門!來到精舍之後,那個慾望停止了嗎?』 (婆羅門)回答說:『是的,尊者阿難!是經過精進、方便、籌劃,才來到精舍的。』 (阿難)又問:『到了精舍之後,那個精進、方便、籌劃停止了嗎?』 (婆羅門)回答說:『是的,尊者阿難!』 (阿難)又對婆羅門說:『像這樣,婆羅門!如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,宣說四如意足,以唯一之道凈化眾生、滅除苦惱、斷除憂悲。哪四種呢?欲定斷行成就如意足,精進定、心定、思惟定斷行成就如意足。』

English version: At that time, a wandering Brahmin came to where Venerable Ananda was. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, he sat down to one side and asked Venerable Ananda, 'Why do you practice the holy life under the ascetic Gautama?' Venerable Ananda said to the Brahmin, 'It is for the sake of abandoning.' He asked again, 'What do you abandon, Venerable?' He replied, 'I abandon craving.' He asked again, 'Venerable Ananda, by relying on what do you abandon craving?' He replied, 'Brahmin, by relying on desire, I abandon craving.' He asked again, 'Venerable Ananda, isn't it limitless?' He replied, 'Brahmin, it is not limitless. It has a limit, it is not limitless.' He asked again, 'Venerable Ananda, how does it have a limit, and not be limitless?' He replied, 'Brahmin, I will ask you now, answer as you please. Brahmin, what do you think? Did you previously have the desire to come to the monastery?' The Brahmin replied, 'Yes, Ananda!' 'So it is, Brahmin! Having come to the monastery, did that desire cease?' He replied, 'Yes, Venerable Ananda! It was through effort, means, and planning that I came to the monastery.' He asked again, 'Having arrived at the monastery, did that effort, means, and planning cease?' He replied, 'Yes, Venerable Ananda!' Then he said to the Brahmin, 'So it is, Brahmin! The Tathagata, the worthy one, the fully enlightened one, through his knowledge and vision, teaches the four bases of spiritual power, by which, through the one path, beings are purified, suffering is extinguished, and sorrow and grief are abandoned. What are the four? The base of spiritual power that is the accomplishment of concentration of intention, the base of spiritual power that is the accomplishment of concentration of effort, the base of spiritual power that is the accomplishment of concentration of mind, and the base of spiritual power that is the accomplishment of concentration of investigation.'


。如是,聖弟子修欲定斷行成就如意足,依離、依無慾、依出要、依滅、向于舍,乃至斷愛,愛斷已,彼欲亦息。修精進定、心定、思惟定斷行成就,依離、依無慾、依出要、依滅、向于舍,乃至愛盡,愛盡已,思惟則息。婆羅門!于意云何?此非邊際耶?」

婆羅門言:「尊者阿難!此是邊際,非不邊際。」

爾時,婆羅門聞尊者阿難所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起去。

(五六二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園,尊者阿難亦在彼住。

爾時,瞿師羅長者詣尊者阿難所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白尊者阿難:「云何名為世間說法者?云何名世間善向?云何名世間善到?」

尊者阿難語瞿師羅長者:「我今問汝,隨意答我。長者!于意云何?若有說法,調伏貪慾、調伏瞋恚、調伏愚癡,得名世間說法者不?」

長者答言:「尊者阿難!若有說法,能調伏貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡,是則名為世間說法。」

復問:「長者!于意云何?若世間向調伏貪慾、調伏瞋恚、調伏愚癡,是名世間善向;若世間已調伏貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡,是名善到耶?為非耶?」

長者答言:「尊者阿難!若調伏貪慾,已斷無餘,瞋恚、愚癡已斷無餘,是名善到

現代漢語譯本:『如此,聖弟子修習欲定,通過斷行成就如意足,依靠遠離、依靠無慾、依靠出離、依靠滅盡、趨向于捨棄,乃至斷除愛慾,愛慾斷除后,他的慾念也止息。修習精進定、心定、思惟定,通過斷行成就,依靠遠離、依靠無慾、依靠出離、依靠滅盡、趨向于捨棄,乃至愛慾滅盡,愛慾滅盡后,他的思惟也止息。婆羅門!你認為如何?這不是邊際嗎?』 婆羅門說:『尊者阿難!這是邊際,不是非邊際。』 當時,婆羅門聽了尊者阿難所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位起身離去。 (五六二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園,尊者阿難也住在那裡。 當時,瞿師羅長者來到尊者阿難處,稽首禮足,退坐在一旁,對尊者阿難說:『什麼叫做世間說法者?什麼叫做世間善向?什麼叫做世間善到?』 尊者阿難對瞿師羅長者說:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。長者!你認為如何?如果有人說法,調伏貪慾、調伏嗔恚、調伏愚癡,可以稱作世間說法者嗎?』 長者回答說:『尊者阿難!如果有人說法,能夠調伏貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡,那麼就可以稱作世間說法者。』 又問:『長者!你認為如何?如果世間趨向于調伏貪慾、調伏嗔恚、調伏愚癡,這可以稱作世間善向;如果世間已經調伏貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡,這可以稱作善到嗎?還是不是呢?』 長者回答說:『尊者阿難!如果調伏貪慾,已經斷除無餘,嗔恚、愚癡也已經斷除無餘,這就可以稱作善到。』

English version: 'Thus, a noble disciple cultivates the concentration of desire, achieving the psychic power through the practice of cessation, relying on detachment, relying on non-desire, relying on liberation, relying on cessation, tending towards relinquishment, and even to the cessation of craving. When craving is ceased, their desire also ceases. They cultivate the concentration of effort, the concentration of mind, and the concentration of contemplation, achieving them through the practice of cessation, relying on detachment, relying on non-desire, relying on liberation, relying on cessation, tending towards relinquishment, and even to the end of craving. When craving is ended, their contemplation also ceases. Brahmin, what do you think? Is this not the limit?' The Brahmin said, 'Venerable Ananda, this is the limit, not non-limit.' Then, the Brahmin, having heard what Venerable Ananda said, rejoiced and was pleased, and rose from his seat and departed. (562) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Ghosita Park in Kosambi, and Venerable Ananda was also dwelling there. Then, the householder Ghosita went to Venerable Ananda, bowed his head at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to Venerable Ananda, 'What is called a speaker of the world? What is called well-directed in the world? What is called well-arrived in the world?' Venerable Ananda said to the householder Ghosita, 'I will now ask you, answer as you please. Householder, what do you think? If someone speaks, subduing greed, subduing hatred, subduing delusion, can they be called a speaker of the world?' The householder replied, 'Venerable Ananda, if someone speaks, able to subdue greed, hatred, and delusion, then they can be called a speaker of the world.' He asked again, 'Householder, what do you think? If the world is directed towards subduing greed, subduing hatred, subduing delusion, is this called well-directed in the world; if the world has already subdued greed, hatred, and delusion, is this called well-arrived, or not?' The householder replied, 'Venerable Ananda, if greed is subdued, having been completely eradicated, and hatred and delusion have also been completely eradicated, then this can be called well-arrived.'


。」

尊者阿難答言:「長者!我試問汝,汝便真實答我,其義如此,當受持之。」

瞿師羅長者聞尊者阿難所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(五六三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離獼猴池側重閣講堂,尊者阿難亦在彼住。

爾時,無畏離車,是尼犍弟子、聰明童子離車,是阿耆毗弟子,俱往尊者阿難所,共相問訊慰勞已,於一面坐。時,無畏離車語尊者阿難:「我師尼犍子滅熾然法,清凈超出,為諸弟子說如是道:『宿命之業,行苦行故,悉能吐之。身業不作,斷截橋樑,于未來世無復諸漏,諸業永盡;業永盡故,眾苦永盡;苦永盡故,究竟苦邊。』尊者阿難!此義云何?」

尊者阿難語離車言:「如來、應、等正覺所知所見,說三種離熾然清凈超出道,以一乘道凈眾生、離憂悲、越苦惱,得真如法。何等為三?如是,聖弟子住于凈戒,受波羅提木叉,威儀具足,信于諸罪過,生怖畏想。受持如是具足凈戒,宿業漸吐,得現法離熾然,不待時節,能得正法,通達現見觀察,智慧自覺。離車長者!是名如來、應、等正覺說所知所見說離熾然,清凈超出,以一乘道凈眾生、滅苦惱、越憂悲,得真如法

現代漢語譯本 尊者阿難回答說:『長者!我問你,你如實回答我,道理是這樣的,應當接受並奉行。』 瞿師羅長者聽了尊者阿難所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (五六三) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離獼猴池邊的重閣講堂,尊者阿難也住在那裡。 當時,無畏離車,是尼犍的弟子,聰明的童子離車,是阿耆毗的弟子,一同前往尊者阿難處,互相問候慰勞后,在一旁坐下。當時,無畏離車對尊者阿難說:『我的老師尼犍子說滅除熾熱煩惱的方法,清凈超脫,為弟子們宣說這樣的道理:『過去的業,通過苦行,都能消除。身體的業不造作,斷絕橋樑,在未來世不再有各種煩惱,各種業永遠消盡;業永遠消盡,眾苦永遠消盡;苦永遠消盡,最終達到苦的盡頭。』尊者阿難!這個道理是怎樣的?』 尊者阿難對離車說:『如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,宣說三種滅除熾熱煩惱、清凈超脫的道路,用唯一的方法凈化眾生、遠離憂愁悲傷、超越痛苦煩惱,得到真如之法。哪三種呢?像這樣,聖弟子安住于清凈的戒律,受持波羅提木叉,威儀具足,相信各種罪過,產生畏懼的想法。受持這樣具足的清凈戒律,過去的業逐漸消除,得到現世滅除熾熱煩惱,不等待時節,能夠得到正法,通達現見觀察,智慧自覺。離車長者!這叫做如來、應供、正等覺所知所見所說的滅除熾熱煩惱,清凈超脫,用唯一的方法凈化眾生、滅除痛苦煩惱、超越憂愁悲傷,得到真如之法。』

English version Venerable Ananda replied, 'Elder! I will ask you, and you should answer me truthfully. The meaning is like this, and it should be accepted and practiced.' The elder Gushila, having heard what Venerable Ananda said, rejoiced and praised it, then bowed and departed. (563) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the multi-storied lecture hall by the Monkey Pond in Vaishali, and Venerable Ananda was also dwelling there. At that time, Fearless Licchavi, a disciple of the Niganthas, and the clever young Licchavi, a disciple of Ajivikas, went together to Venerable Ananda. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, they sat down to one side. Then, Fearless Licchavi said to Venerable Ananda, 'My teacher, Nigantha, teaches the extinguishing of burning passions, pure transcendence, and explains to his disciples the following doctrine: 'Past karma, through the practice of austerities, can be completely eliminated. By not creating bodily karma, cutting off the bridge, in future lives there will be no more defilements, and all karma will be forever exhausted; when karma is forever exhausted, all suffering will be forever exhausted; when suffering is forever exhausted, one will ultimately reach the end of suffering.' Venerable Ananda! What is the meaning of this?' Venerable Ananda said to Licchavi, 'The Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, through his knowledge and vision, teaches three paths of extinguishing burning passions, pure transcendence, using the one path to purify beings, to be free from sorrow and grief, to transcend suffering and affliction, and to attain the true suchness. What are the three? It is like this: a noble disciple dwells in pure precepts, upholds the Patimokkha, is complete in deportment, believes in all transgressions, and generates a sense of fear. By upholding such complete pure precepts, past karma is gradually eliminated, one attains the extinguishing of burning passions in this very life, without waiting for a time, one is able to attain the true Dharma, to understand through direct observation, and to have wisdom and self-awareness. Elder Licchavi! This is what the Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, through his knowledge and vision, teaches as the extinguishing of burning passions, pure transcendence, using the one path to purify beings, to extinguish suffering and affliction, to transcend sorrow and grief, and to attain the true suchness.'


「複次,離車!如是凈戒具足,離欲、惡不善法,乃至第四禪具足住,是名如來、應、等正覺說離熾然,乃至得如實法。復有三昧正受,於此苦聖諦如實知,此苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實知。具足如是智慧心,業更不造,宿業漸已斷,得現正法,離諸熾然,不待時節,通達現見,生自覺智。離車!是名如來、應、等正覺所知所見說第三離熾然,清凈超出,以一乘道凈眾生、離苦惱、滅憂悲,得如實法。」

爾時,尼犍弟子離車無畏默然住。

爾時,阿耆毗弟子離車聰慧重語離車無畏言:「怪哉!無畏!何默然住?于如來、應、等正覺所說、所知、所見、善說法,聞不隨喜耶?」

離車無畏答言:「我思惟其義,故默然住耳。誰聞世尊沙門瞿曇所說法不隨喜者?若有聞沙門瞿曇說法而不隨喜者,此則愚夫,長夜當受非義不饒益苦。」

時,尼犍弟子離車無畏、阿耆毗弟子聰慧重聞佛所說法,尊者阿難陀所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起去。

(五六四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。尊者阿難亦在彼住。

時,有異比丘尼于尊者阿難所,起染著心,遣使白尊者阿難:「我身遇病苦,唯愿尊者哀愍見看

現代漢語譯本: 『再者,離車!像這樣具足清凈的戒律,遠離慾望、邪惡的不善之法,乃至具足安住于第四禪,這被稱為如來、應供、正等覺所說的離熾然,乃至獲得如實之法。又具有三昧正受,對於這苦聖諦如實知曉,對於這苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實知曉。具足這樣的智慧心,不再造作新的業,過去的業逐漸斷除,獲得當下真正的法,遠離一切熾熱的煩惱,不等待時機,通達現見,生起自覺的智慧。離車!這被稱為如來、應供、正等覺所知所見所說的第三種離熾然,清凈超脫,以唯一之道凈化眾生、脫離苦惱、滅除憂愁悲傷,獲得如實之法。』 當時,尼犍的弟子離車無畏沉默不語。 當時,阿耆毗的弟子離車聰慧對離車無畏說:『奇怪啊!無畏!為何沉默不語?對於如來、應供、正等覺所說、所知、所見、善說的法,聽了不隨喜嗎?』 離車無畏回答說:『我正在思考其中的含義,所以沉默不語罷了。誰會聽了世尊沙門瞿曇所說的法而不隨喜呢?如果有人聽了沙門瞿曇的說法而不隨喜,這個人就是愚癡之人,長久以來將遭受非義無益的痛苦。』 當時,尼犍的弟子離車無畏、阿耆毗的弟子聰慧再次聽聞佛所說的法,以及尊者阿難陀所說的法,歡喜隨喜,從座位上起身離去。 (五六四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。尊者阿難也住在那裡。 當時,有一位比丘尼對尊者阿難生起染著之心,派遣使者告訴尊者阿難:『我身體感到病痛,希望尊者能夠慈悲憐憫前來探望。』

English version: 'Furthermore, Licchavi! One who is thus complete in pure precepts, having abandoned desire and evil unwholesome states, and dwells in the fourth jhana, this is called the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One's teaching on the cessation of burning, and thus attains the true Dharma. Moreover, one has right concentration, and truly knows the noble truth of suffering, the noble truth of the origin of suffering, the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering. Possessing such a wise mind, one no longer creates new karma, past karma is gradually cut off, one attains the present true Dharma, free from all burning, not waiting for a time, understanding through direct vision, and giving rise to self-realized wisdom. Licchavi! This is called the third cessation of burning known and seen by the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One, pure and transcendent, purifying beings with the one path, freeing them from suffering and distress, extinguishing sorrow and grief, and attaining the true Dharma.' At that time, the Nigantha disciple Licchavi Fearless remained silent. Then, the Ajivika disciple Licchavi Clever spoke to Licchavi Fearless, saying: 'Strange! Fearless! Why are you silent? Having heard the well-spoken Dharma taught, known, and seen by the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One, do you not rejoice?' Licchavi Fearless replied: 'I am contemplating its meaning, therefore I remain silent. Who would not rejoice upon hearing the Dharma spoken by the World Honored One, the Shramana Gautama? If there is anyone who does not rejoice upon hearing the Shramana Gautama's teaching, that person is foolish and will suffer non-beneficial pain for a long time.' Then, the Nigantha disciple Licchavi Fearless and the Ajivika disciple Licchavi Clever, having heard the Dharma spoken by the Buddha and by the Venerable Ananda, rejoiced and, pleased, rose from their seats and departed. (564) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. The Venerable Ananda was also dwelling there. At that time, a certain bhikkhuni developed a lustful mind towards the Venerable Ananda and sent a messenger to the Venerable Ananda, saying: 'I am suffering from illness, and I wish that the Venerable One would have compassion and come to see me.'

尊者阿難晨朝著衣持缽,往彼比丘尼所。

彼比丘尼遙見尊者阿難來,露身體臥床上。尊者阿難遙見彼比丘尼身,即自攝𣫍諸根,回身背住。彼比丘尼見尊者阿難攝𣫍諸根,回身背住,即自慚愧,起著衣服,敷坐具,出迎尊者阿難,請令就座,稽首禮足,退住一面。

時,尊者阿難為說法言:「姊妹!如此身者,穢食長養、憍慢長養、愛所長養、淫慾長養。姊妹!依穢食者,當斷穢食,依于慢者,當斷憍慢,依于愛者,當斷愛慾。姊妹!云何名依于穢食,當斷穢食?謂聖弟子于食計數思惟而食,無著樂想、無憍慢想、無摩拭想、無莊嚴想,為持身故、為養活故、治飢渴病故、攝受梵行故,宿諸受令滅,新諸受不生,崇習長養,若力、若樂、若觸,當如是住。譬如商客以酥油膏以膏其車,無染著想、無憍慢想、無摩拭想、無莊嚴想,為運載故,如病瘡者涂以酥油,無著樂想、無憍慢想、無摩拭想、無莊嚴想,為瘡愈故。如是,聖弟子計數而食,無染著想、無憍慢想、無摩拭想、無莊嚴想,為養活故、治飢渴故、攝受梵行故,宿諸受離,新諸受不起,若力、若樂、若無罪觸安隱住。姊妹!是名依食斷食。

「依慢斷慢者

現代漢語譯本 尊者阿難早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,前往那位比丘尼的住所。 那位比丘尼遠遠看見尊者阿難來了,就裸著身體躺在床上。尊者阿難遠遠看見那位比丘尼的身體,立刻收攝自己的感官,轉身背對著她。那位比丘尼看見尊者阿難收攝感官,轉身背對著她,立刻感到慚愧,起身穿好衣服,鋪好坐具,出來迎接尊者阿難,請他坐下,頂禮他的雙足,然後退到一旁站立。 這時,尊者阿難為她說法道:『姊妹!這個身體,是靠污穢的食物滋養、靠驕慢滋養、靠愛慾滋養、靠淫慾滋養的。姊妹!依賴污穢食物的,應當斷除污穢食物;依賴驕慢的,應當斷除驕慢;依賴愛慾的,應當斷除愛慾。姊妹!什麼叫做依賴污穢食物,應當斷除污穢食物呢?就是聖弟子在吃飯時,會仔細思考食物的意義,不貪圖享樂,不生驕慢之心,不追求食物的美味,不爲了裝飾身體,而是爲了維持生命,爲了養活自己,爲了治療飢渴的疾病,爲了修行梵行,使過去的感受滅除,新的感受不生起,崇尚修行,增長力量、快樂和清凈的感受,應當這樣安住。譬如商人用酥油膏來保養他的車子,不貪圖享樂,不生驕慢之心,不追求保養的舒適,不爲了裝飾車子,而是爲了運輸貨物;又如病人用酥油塗抹瘡口,不貪圖享樂,不生驕慢之心,不追求塗抹的舒適,不爲了裝飾瘡口,而是爲了治癒瘡口。同樣,聖弟子仔細思考食物的意義而吃飯,不貪圖享樂,不生驕慢之心,不追求食物的美味,不爲了裝飾身體,而是爲了養活自己,爲了治療飢渴,爲了修行梵行,使過去的感受消除,新的感受不生起,增長力量、快樂和無罪的清凈感受,安穩地住著。姊妹!這就叫做依賴食物而斷除對食物的執著。』 『依賴驕慢而斷除驕慢的,

English version Venerable Ananda, in the morning, having dressed and taken his bowl, went to the place where that bhikkhuni was. That bhikkhuni, seeing Venerable Ananda coming from afar, lay naked on her bed. Venerable Ananda, seeing the bhikkhuni's body from afar, immediately restrained his senses, turned his back, and stood with his back to her. That bhikkhuni, seeing Venerable Ananda restraining his senses and turning his back, immediately felt ashamed, got up, put on her clothes, spread out a seat, went out to greet Venerable Ananda, invited him to sit down, bowed at his feet, and then stood to one side. Then, Venerable Ananda taught her the Dharma, saying: 'Sister! This body is nourished by impure food, nourished by pride, nourished by craving, and nourished by lust. Sister! Those who rely on impure food should abandon impure food; those who rely on pride should abandon pride; those who rely on craving should abandon craving. Sister! What is meant by relying on impure food and abandoning impure food? It means that a noble disciple, when eating, reflects on the purpose of food, without attachment to pleasure, without pride, without seeking deliciousness, without seeking adornment, but for the sake of maintaining the body, for the sake of sustaining life, for the sake of curing hunger and thirst, for the sake of supporting the holy life, so that past feelings may cease, new feelings may not arise, cultivating practice, increasing strength, joy, and pure feelings, and should abide in this way. Just as a merchant uses ghee to maintain his cart, without attachment to pleasure, without pride, without seeking comfort, without seeking adornment, but for the sake of transporting goods; or like a sick person applying ghee to a wound, without attachment to pleasure, without pride, without seeking comfort, without seeking adornment, but for the sake of healing the wound. Likewise, a noble disciple reflects on the purpose of food when eating, without attachment to pleasure, without pride, without seeking deliciousness, without seeking adornment, but for the sake of sustaining life, for the sake of curing hunger and thirst, for the sake of supporting the holy life, so that past feelings may cease, new feelings may not arise, increasing strength, joy, and blameless pure feelings, and abiding peacefully. Sister! This is called abandoning attachment to food by relying on food.' 'Those who abandon pride by relying on pride,'


。云何依慢斷慢?謂弟子聞某尊者、某尊者弟子盡諸有漏,無漏心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』聞已,作是念:『彼聖弟子盡諸有漏,乃至自知不受後有。我今何故不盡諸有漏,何故不自知不受後有。』當於爾時則能斷諸有漏,乃至自知不受後有。姊妹!是名依慢斷慢。

「姊妹!云何依愛斷愛?謂聖弟子聞某尊者、某尊者弟子盡諸有漏,乃至自知不受後有。我等何不盡諸有漏,乃至自知不受後有。彼于爾時能斷諸有漏,乃至自知不受後有。姊妹!是名依愛斷愛。姊妹!無所行者,斷截淫慾、和合橋樑。」

尊者阿難說是法時,彼比丘尼遠塵離垢,得法眼凈,彼比丘尼見法、得法、覺法、入法,度狐疑,不由於他,于正法、律,心得無畏。禮尊者阿難足,白尊者阿難:

「我今發露悔過:愚癡不善,脫作如是不流類事;今于尊者阿難所,自見過、自知過,發露懺悔,哀愍故!」

尊者阿難語比丘尼:「汝今真實自見罪、自知罪,愚癡不善,汝自知作不類之罪,汝今自知、自見而悔過,于未來世得具足戒。我今受汝悔過,哀愍故,令汝善法增長,終不退滅

現代漢語譯本:如何依靠驕慢來斷除驕慢?是指弟子聽到某位尊者或某位尊者的弟子已經斷盡了一切煩惱,達到了無煩惱的心解脫和智慧解脫,在當下親自證悟並確信:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』聽到這些后,他會這樣想:『那些聖弟子已經斷盡了一切煩惱,乃至自己知道不會再有來生。我為什麼不能斷盡一切煩惱,為什麼不能自己知道不會再有來生呢?』當他這樣想的時候,就能斷除一切煩惱,乃至自己知道不會再有來生。姐妹們,這叫做依靠驕慢來斷除驕慢。 現代漢語譯本:姐妹們,如何依靠愛慾來斷除愛慾?是指聖弟子聽到某位尊者或某位尊者的弟子已經斷盡了一切煩惱,乃至自己知道不會再有來生。我們為什麼不能斷盡一切煩惱,乃至自己知道不會再有來生呢?』當他這樣想的時候,就能斷除一切煩惱,乃至自己知道不會再有來生。姐妹們,這叫做依靠愛慾來斷除愛慾。姐妹們,無所執著的人,會斷絕淫慾,斬斷結合的橋樑。 現代漢語譯本:當尊者阿難說這些法的時候,那位比丘尼遠離了塵垢,獲得了清凈的法眼。那位比丘尼見到了法,得到了法,覺悟了法,進入了法,度過了疑惑,不再依賴他人,對於正法和戒律,內心感到無所畏懼。她禮拜尊者阿難的腳,對尊者阿難說: 現代漢語譯本:『我現在發露懺悔:因為愚癡和不善,做了這樣不合規矩的事情;現在在尊者阿難這裡,自己看到自己的過錯,自己知道自己的過錯,發露懺悔,請您慈悲憐憫!』 現代漢語譯本:尊者阿難對比丘尼說:『你現在真實地看到了自己的罪過,自己知道自己的罪過,因為愚癡和不善,你自己知道做了不合規矩的事情,你現在自己知道、自己看到而懺悔,在未來世會得到圓滿的戒律。我現在接受你的懺悔,因為慈悲憐憫,讓你善法增長,永遠不會退失。』

English version: How does one use conceit to overcome conceit? It is when a disciple hears that a certain venerable one or a disciple of a certain venerable one has eradicated all defilements, attained the undefiled liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, and directly knows and testifies: 『Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, and there is no more future existence.』 Having heard this, he thinks: 『Those noble disciples have eradicated all defilements, and know for themselves that there is no more future existence. Why can』t I eradicate all defilements, and why can』t I know for myself that there is no more future existence?』 At that time, he is able to eradicate all defilements, and knows for himself that there is no more future existence. Sisters, this is called using conceit to overcome conceit. English version: Sisters, how does one use craving to overcome craving? It is when a noble disciple hears that a certain venerable one or a disciple of a certain venerable one has eradicated all defilements, and knows for himself that there is no more future existence. 『Why can』t we eradicate all defilements, and why can』t we know for ourselves that there is no more future existence?』 At that time, he is able to eradicate all defilements, and knows for himself that there is no more future existence. Sisters, this is called using craving to overcome craving. Sisters, one who is without attachment will cut off sexual desire and the bridge of union. English version: When Venerable Ananda spoke these teachings, that bhikkhuni was freed from dust and defilement, and obtained the pure eye of the Dhamma. That bhikkhuni saw the Dhamma, attained the Dhamma, awakened to the Dhamma, entered the Dhamma, overcame doubt, was no longer dependent on others, and in the true Dhamma and discipline, her mind was without fear. She bowed at the feet of Venerable Ananda and said to him: English version: 『I now confess my wrongdoing: out of ignorance and unskillfulness, I did such an improper thing; now, in the presence of Venerable Ananda, I see my own fault, I know my own fault, and I confess it, out of compassion!』 English version: Venerable Ananda said to the bhikkhuni: 『You have now truly seen your own fault, you know your own fault, out of ignorance and unskillfulness, you know that you did an improper thing, and now you know and see it and confess it, in the future you will obtain the complete precepts. I now accept your confession, out of compassion, so that your good qualities may increase and never diminish.』


。所以者何?若有自見罪、自知罪,能悔過者,于未來世得具足戒,善法增長,終不退滅。」

尊者阿難為彼比丘尼種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,從座起去。

(五六五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在橋池人間遊行,與尊者阿難俱,至婆頭聚落國北身恕林中。

爾時,婆頭聚落諸童子聞尊者阿難橋池人間遊行,住婆頭聚落國北身恕林中。聞已,相呼聚集,往詣尊者阿難所,稽首禮尊者阿難足,退坐一面。

時,尊者阿難語諸童子言:「帝種!如來、應、等正覺說四種清凈,戒清凈、心清凈、見清凈、解脫清凈。

「云何為戒清凈?謂聖弟子住于戒,波羅提木叉,戒增長,威儀具足,于微細罪能生恐怖,受持學戒。戒身不滿者,能令滿足;已滿者,隨順執持,欲精進方便超出,精勤勇猛,堪能諸身心法,常能攝受,是名戒凈斷。

「苦種!云何名為心凈斷?謂聖弟子離欲、惡不善法,乃至第四禪具足住;定身未滿者令滿,已滿者隨順執受,欲精進乃至常執受,是名心凈斷。

「苦種!云何名為見凈斷?謂聖弟子聞大師說法。如是如是說法,則如是如是入如實正觀。如是如是得歡喜、得隨喜、得從於佛

現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?如果有人能自己發現自己的罪過,自己知道自己的罪過,並且能夠悔改過錯,那麼在未來的世間,他就能得到圓滿的戒律,善法增長,最終不會退失。 尊者阿難為那些比丘尼做了各種開示,用開導、教誨、啓發、歡喜的方式引導她們之後,就從座位上起身離開了。 (五六五) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀在橋池人間,與尊者阿難一起,來到了婆頭聚落國北邊的身恕林中。 當時,婆頭聚落的許多童子聽說尊者阿難在橋池人間,住在婆頭聚落國北邊的身恕林中。聽聞后,他們互相呼喚聚集,前往尊者阿難所在的地方,向尊者阿難行禮,退坐在一旁。 這時,尊者阿難對那些童子說:『各位帝種!如來、應供、正等覺說了四種清凈,即戒清凈、心清凈、見清凈、解脫清凈。』 『什麼是戒清凈呢?就是聖弟子安住于戒律,遵守波羅提木叉,戒律增長,威儀具足,對於細微的罪過也能產生恐懼,受持學習戒律。戒身不圓滿的,能使之圓滿;已經圓滿的,能隨順執持,想要精進方便超出,精勤勇猛,能夠攝受各種身心之法,常常能夠攝受,這叫做戒清凈。』 『各位苦種!什麼叫做心清凈呢?就是聖弟子遠離慾望、惡不善法,乃至具足安住于第四禪;定身未圓滿的使之圓滿,已圓滿的隨順執受,想要精進乃至常常執受,這叫做心清凈。』 『各位苦種!什麼叫做見清凈呢?就是聖弟子聽聞大師說法。這樣這樣地說法,就能夠這樣這樣地進入如實正觀。這樣這樣地得到歡喜、得到隨喜、從佛陀那裡得到……』

English version: What is the reason for this? If someone can see their own faults, know their own faults, and be able to repent, then in future lives, they will obtain complete precepts, good deeds will increase, and they will never regress. Venerable Ananda gave various teachings to those nuns, guiding them with instruction, teaching, enlightenment, and joy, and then rose from his seat and left. (565) Thus have I heard: Once, the Buddha was in the human realm of Bridge Pond, together with Venerable Ananda, and they arrived at the Shanshu Forest north of the village of Potou. At that time, many young men of Potou village heard that Venerable Ananda was in the human realm of Bridge Pond, staying in the Shanshu Forest north of Potou village. Having heard this, they called each other together and went to where Venerable Ananda was, bowed at Venerable Ananda's feet, and sat down to one side. Then, Venerable Ananda said to those young men: 'O noble ones! The Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, has spoken of four kinds of purity: purity of precepts, purity of mind, purity of view, and purity of liberation.' 'What is purity of precepts? It is when a noble disciple abides in precepts, observes the Patimokkha, increases in precepts, is complete in deportment, feels fear for even the smallest offenses, and upholds and learns the precepts. If the body of precepts is not complete, they make it complete; if it is complete, they maintain it accordingly, desiring to strive for progress, being diligent and courageous, capable of receiving all bodily and mental dharmas, and always able to receive them. This is called purity of precepts.' 'O noble ones! What is called purity of mind? It is when a noble disciple is free from desire, evil, and unwholesome dharmas, and abides in the fourth jhana; if the body of concentration is not complete, they make it complete; if it is complete, they maintain it accordingly, desiring to strive for progress and always receiving it. This is called purity of mind.' 'O noble ones! What is called purity of view? It is when a noble disciple hears the Master's teachings. As the teachings are given in this way, they enter into true and correct insight in this way. In this way, they obtain joy, obtain rejoicing, and obtain from the Buddha...'


「複次,聖弟子不聞大師說法,然從餘明智尊重梵行者說,聞尊重梵行者如是如是說,則如是如是入如實觀察。如是如是觀察,于彼法得歡喜、隨喜,信于正法。

現代漢語譯本 『再者,聖弟子沒有聽聞大師說法,而是從其他明智、受尊敬的修行者那裡聽聞,聽聞受尊敬的修行者如此如此說,就如此如此地進入如實觀察。如此如此觀察,對於那法生起歡喜、隨喜,信受正法。 『再者,聖弟子沒有聽聞大師說法,也沒有聽聞明智、受尊敬的修行者說法,而是隨著先前所聽聞、受持的(法)重誦習,隨著先前所聽聞、受持的(法)如此如此重誦之後。如此如此地得以進入那法,乃至信受正法。 『再者,聖弟子沒有聽聞大師說法,沒有聽聞明智、受尊敬的修行者說法,又不能將先前所受持的(法)重誦習,而是將先前所聽聞的法為人廣泛宣說,將先前所聽聞的法如此如此為人廣泛宣說。如此如此地得以進入於法,以正智觀察,乃至信受正法。 『再者,聖弟子沒有聽聞大師說法,也沒有聽聞明智、受尊敬的修行者說法,又不能將先前所受持的(法)重誦習,也沒有將先前所聽聞的法為人廣泛宣說,而是在先前所聽聞的法上獨自一人在安靜的地方思惟觀察。如此如此思惟觀察,如此如此地得以進入正法,乃至信受正法。像這樣從他人聽聞,內心正確思惟,這叫做未生起的正見令其生起,已生起的正見令其增長廣大;這叫做未圓滿的戒身令其圓滿,已圓滿的隨順攝受,想要精進方便,乃至常常攝受,這叫做見清凈斷。 『苦種!什麼是解脫清凈斷?就是聖弟子對於貪心沒有慾望而解脫,對於嗔恚、愚癡心沒有慾望而解脫。像這樣解脫,未圓滿的令其圓滿,已圓滿的隨順攝受,想要精進乃至常常攝受,這叫做解脫清凈斷。』

苦種!尊者阿難說是法時,婆頭聚落諸童子聞尊者阿難所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住庵羅聚落庵羅林中,與眾上座比丘俱。

時,有質多羅長者詣諸上座比丘,稽首禮足,退坐一面。

時,諸上座比丘為質多羅長者種種說法,示、教、照、喜;種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,默然住。時,質多羅長者稽首禮諸上座比丘足,往詣那伽達多比丘房,稽首禮那伽達多比丘足,退坐一面。

時,那伽達多比丘問質多羅長者,如所說:

「枝青以白覆,  一輻轉之車,  離結觀察來,  斷流不復縛。

「長者!此偈有何義?」

質多羅長者言:「尊者那伽達多!世尊說此偈耶?」

答言:「如是。」

質多羅長者語尊者那伽達多言:「尊者!須臾默然,我當思惟此義。」

須臾默然思惟已,語尊者那伽達多言:「青者謂戒也,白覆謂解脫也,一輻者身念也,轉者轉出也,車者止觀也,離結者有三種結,謂貪、恚、癡。彼阿羅漢諸漏已盡、已滅、已知、已斷根本,如截多羅樹頭更不復生,未來世滅不起法。

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在庵羅聚落的庵羅林中,與眾多上座比丘在一起。

當時,有質多羅長者來到諸位上座比丘處,稽首禮足,退坐在一旁。

當時,諸位上座比丘為質多羅長者宣說種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、令其歡喜;種種說法,開示、教導、啓發、令其歡喜后,便默然不語。當時,質多羅長者稽首禮諸位上座比丘的足,前往那伽達多比丘的住所,稽首禮那伽達多比丘的足,退坐在一旁。

『枝條青翠被白色覆蓋,一根輻條轉動的車輪, 脫離束縛觀察而來,斷絕流轉不再受縛。』

『長者!這偈頌是什麼意思?』

質多羅長者說:『尊者那伽達多!是世尊說這偈頌的嗎?』

回答說:『是的。』

質多羅長者對尊者那伽達多說:『尊者!請稍作沉默,我當思考這偈頌的含義。』

稍作沉默思考後,對尊者那伽達多說:『青色指的是戒律,白色覆蓋指的是解脫,一根輻條指的是身念,轉動指的是轉出,車輪指的是止觀,脫離束縛指的是有三種束縛,即貪、嗔、癡。那些阿羅漢的諸漏已經斷盡、已經滅除、已經知曉、已經斷除根本,如同砍斷多羅樹的樹頭不再生長,未來世滅盡不再生起。』

『觀察指的是見解,來指的是人,斷絕流轉指的是愛慾之流在生死中』

English version 'A bitter seed!' When the Venerable Ananda was teaching the Dharma, the boys of the Bhadraka village, having heard what the Venerable Ananda said, rejoiced and were pleased, paid their respects, and departed.

(566)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Amra Grove in the Amra village, together with many elder monks.

Then, the householder Citra came to the elder monks, bowed his head at their feet, and sat down to one side.

Then, the elder monks taught the Dharma to the householder Citra in various ways, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening him; having taught the Dharma in various ways, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening him, they remained silent. Then, the householder Citra bowed his head at the feet of the elder monks, went to the dwelling of the monk Nagadatta, bowed his head at the feet of the monk Nagadatta, and sat down to one side.

Then, the monk Nagadatta asked the householder Citra, as it was said:

'Green branches covered with white, a wheel with one spoke turning, Having come observing, free from bonds, cutting off the flow, no longer bound.'

'Householder! What is the meaning of this verse?'

The householder Citra said, 'Venerable Nagadatta! Did the World-Honored One speak this verse?'

He replied, 'Yes, it is so.'

The householder Citra said to the Venerable Nagadatta, 'Venerable! Please be silent for a moment, I will contemplate the meaning of this verse.'

Having contemplated in silence for a moment, he said to the Venerable Nagadatta, 'Green refers to precepts, white covering refers to liberation, one spoke refers to mindfulness of the body, turning refers to turning out, the wheel refers to cessation and contemplation, free from bonds refers to the three bonds, namely greed, hatred, and delusion. Those Arhats whose outflows are exhausted, extinguished, known, and whose roots are cut off, like the top of a palm tree that has been cut off and will not grow again, will not arise in the future world.'

'Observing refers to view, coming refers to a person, cutting off the flow refers to the flow of desire in birth and death.'


。彼羅漢比丘諸漏已盡、已知,斷其根本,如截多羅樹頭不復生,于未來世成不起法。

「不縛者謂三縛,貪慾縛、瞋恚縛、愚癡縛,彼阿羅漢比丘諸漏已盡、已斷、已知,斷其根本,如截多羅樹頭更不復生,于未來世成不起法。是故,尊者那伽達多!世尊說此偈:

「枝青以白覆,  一輻轉之車,  離結觀察來,  斷流不復縛。

「此世尊所說偈,我已分別也。」

尊者那伽達多問質多羅長者言:「此義汝先聞耶?」

答言:「不聞。」

尊者那伽達多言:「長者!汝得善利,於此甚深佛法,賢聖慧眼得入。」

時,質多羅長者聞尊者那伽達多所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

現代漢語譯本: 『那些阿羅漢比丘,他們的煩惱已經斷盡、已經明瞭,連根拔除,就像砍斷多羅樹的樹頭一樣不再生長,在未來的世間不會再產生。』 『所謂『不被束縛』,指的是三種束縛:貪慾的束縛、嗔恚的束縛、愚癡的束縛。那些阿羅漢比丘,他們的煩惱已經斷盡、已經斷除、已經明瞭,連根拔除,就像砍斷多羅樹的樹頭一樣不再生長,在未來的世間不會再產生。因此,尊者那伽達多!世尊說了這首偈:』 『枝條青翠被白色覆蓋,一個輪輻轉動的車輪,遠離束縛觀察而來,斷絕了流轉不再被束縛。』 『這首世尊所說的偈,我已經解釋清楚了。』 尊者那伽達多問質多羅長者說:『這個道理你之前聽過嗎?』 回答說:『沒有聽過。』 尊者那伽達多說:『長者!你真是得到了很大的利益,對於這甚深的佛法,能夠以賢聖的智慧之眼得以進入。』 當時,質多羅長者聽了尊者那伽達多所說的話,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離開了。 (五六七) 我聽到是這樣: 一時,佛陀住在庵羅聚落的庵羅林精舍,與眾多上座比丘在一起。 當時,有質多羅長者來到各位上座比丘那裡,頂禮他們的雙足,然後退坐在一旁。當時,各位上座比丘為質多羅長者說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜之後,就默默地住下來。 當時,質多羅長者來到尊者那伽達多比丘那裡,頂禮他的雙足,然後退坐在一旁。尊者那伽達多告訴質多羅長者說:『有無量心三昧、無相心三昧、無所有心三昧、空心三昧』

English version: 'Those Arhat monks, their defilements are exhausted, known, their roots are severed, like cutting off the top of a Tala tree, they will not grow again, and in the future world, they will not arise again.' 'The so-called 'not bound' refers to three bonds: the bond of greed, the bond of hatred, and the bond of ignorance. Those Arhat monks, their defilements are exhausted, severed, and known, their roots are severed, like cutting off the top of a Tala tree, they will not grow again, and in the future world, they will not arise again. Therefore, Venerable Nagadatta! The World Honored One spoke this verse:' 'Green branches covered with white, a wheel with one spoke turning, having come observing from detachment, having cut off the flow, no longer bound.' 'This verse spoken by the World Honored One, I have explained clearly.' Venerable Nagadatta asked the elder Cittara, 'Have you heard this meaning before?' He replied, 'I have not heard it.' Venerable Nagadatta said, 'Elder! You have truly gained great benefit, for in this profound Dharma of the Buddha, you are able to enter with the wise eye of the noble ones.' At that time, the elder Cittara, having heard what Venerable Nagadatta said, rejoiced and praised, paid his respects, and departed. (567) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Amra Grove Monastery in Amra Village, together with many senior monks. At that time, the elder Cittara went to where the senior monks were, bowed at their feet, and sat down to one side. At that time, the senior monks spoke various teachings to the elder Cittara, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening him; having shown, taught, illuminated, and gladdened him, they remained silent. At that time, the elder Cittara went to where Venerable Nagadatta was, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side. Venerable Nagadatta said to the elder Cittara, 'There is the Samadhi of immeasurable mind, the Samadhi of no-sign mind, the Samadhi of nothingness mind, and the Samadhi of emptiness mind.'


。云何?長者!此法為種種義故種種名?為一義有種種名?」

質多羅長者問尊者那伽達多:「此諸三昧為世尊所說?為尊者自意說耶?」

尊者那伽達多答言:「此世尊所說。」

質多羅長者語尊者那伽達多:「聽我小思惟此義,然後當答。」

須臾思惟已,語尊者那伽達多:「有法種種義、種種句、種種味,有法一義種種味。」

復問長者:「云何有法種種義、種種句、種種味?」

長者答言:「無量三昧者,謂聖弟子心與慈俱,無怨、無憎、無恚,寬弘重心,無量修習普緣,一方充滿。如是二方、三方、四方上下,一切世間心與慈俱,無怨、無憎、無恚,寬弘重心,無量修習,充滿諸方,一切世間普緣住,是名無量三昧。云何為無相三昧?謂聖弟子於一切相不念,無相心三昧,身作證,是名無相心三昧。云何無所有心三昧?謂聖弟子度一切無量識入處,無所有,無所有心住,是名無所有心三昧。云何空三昧?謂聖弟子世間空,世間空如實觀察,常住不變易,非我、非我所,是名空心三昧,是名為法種種義、種種句、種種味

現代漢語譯本:『怎麼樣?長者!』這些法是因為種種意義而有種種名稱呢?還是因為一個意義而有種種名稱?』 質多羅長者問尊者那伽達多:『這些三昧是世尊所說的嗎?還是尊者您自己理解說的呢?』 尊者那伽達多回答說:『這是世尊所說的。』 質多羅長者對尊者那伽達多說:『請允許我稍微思考一下這個道理,然後我再回答。』 過了一會兒思考後,他告訴尊者那伽達多:『有的法有種種意義、種種語句、種種味道,有的法只有一個意義卻有種種味道。』 他又問長者:『怎麼樣是有法有種種意義、種種語句、種種味道呢?』 長者回答說:『無量三昧,是指聖弟子心中充滿慈愛,沒有怨恨、沒有憎惡、沒有憤怒,心胸寬廣,重心穩定,無量地修習,普遍地緣著一方。像這樣,二方、三方、四方、上下,一切世間心中都充滿慈愛,沒有怨恨、沒有憎惡、沒有憤怒,心胸寬廣,重心穩定,無量地修習,充滿各個方向,普遍地緣著一切世間而住,這叫做無量三昧。什麼是無相三昧呢?是指聖弟子對於一切相都不執著,以無相的心入三昧,身體力行地證悟,這叫做無相心三昧。什麼是無所有心三昧呢?是指聖弟子超越一切無量識入處,達到無所有,以無所有的心安住,這叫做無所有心三昧。什麼是空三昧呢?是指聖弟子觀察到世間是空的,如實地觀察到世間的空性,常住不變易,不是我,也不是我所擁有的,這叫做空心三昧,這就是所謂的法有種種意義、種種語句、種種味道。』

English version: 'How is it, Elder? Is this Dharma named in various ways because of various meanings, or does it have various names for one meaning?' The Elder Cittara asked the Venerable Nāgadatta, 'Are these samādhis spoken by the Blessed One, or are they spoken from your own understanding?' The Venerable Nāgadatta replied, 'These are spoken by the Blessed One.' The Elder Cittara said to the Venerable Nāgadatta, 'Allow me to contemplate this meaning a little, and then I will answer.' After contemplating for a moment, he said to the Venerable Nāgadatta, 'Some dharmas have various meanings, various phrases, and various flavors, while some dharmas have one meaning but various flavors.' He further asked the Elder, 'How is it that some dharmas have various meanings, various phrases, and various flavors?' The Elder replied, 'The immeasurable samādhi refers to a noble disciple whose heart is filled with loving-kindness, without resentment, without hatred, without anger, with a broad and stable mind, practicing immeasurably, universally focusing on one direction. Likewise, in two directions, three directions, four directions, above and below, the whole world is filled with loving-kindness, without resentment, without hatred, without anger, with a broad and stable mind, practicing immeasurably, filling all directions, universally dwelling on the whole world. This is called immeasurable samādhi. What is the signless samādhi? It refers to a noble disciple who does not cling to any signs, enters samādhi with a signless mind, and realizes it through bodily experience. This is called signless mind samādhi. What is the nothingness mind samādhi? It refers to a noble disciple who transcends all the realms of immeasurable consciousness, reaches nothingness, and dwells with a mind of nothingness. This is called nothingness mind samādhi. What is the emptiness samādhi? It refers to a noble disciple who observes that the world is empty, truly observes the emptiness of the world, remains constant and unchanging, not 'I' nor 'mine'. This is called emptiness mind samādhi. This is what is meant by dharmas having various meanings, various phrases, and various flavors.'


。」

復問長者:「云何法一義種種味?」

答言:「尊者!謂貪有量,若無諍者第一無量,謂貪者是有相,恚、癡者是有相,無諍者是無相。貪者是所有,恚、癡者是所有,無諍者是無所有。複次,無諍者空,于貪空,于恚、癡空,常住不變易空,非我、非我所,是名法一義種種味。」

尊者那伽達多問言:「云何?長者!此義汝先所聞耶?」

答言:「尊者!不聞。」

復告長者:「汝得大利,于甚深佛法,現賢聖慧眼得入。」

質多羅長者聞尊者那伽達多所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(五六八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住庵羅聚落庵羅林中,與諸上座比丘俱。

時,有質多羅長者詣諸上座比丘所,禮諸上座已,詣尊者伽摩比丘所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白尊者伽摩比丘:「所謂行者,云何名行?」

伽摩比丘言:「行者,謂三行,身行、口行、意行。」

復問:「云何身行?云何口行?云何意行?」

答言:「長者!出息、入息名為身行。有覺、有觀名為口行。想、思名為意行

現代漢語譯本 然後(那伽達多)又問長者:『為什麼說一個法有種種不同的意義?』 長者回答說:『尊者,所謂貪慾是有量的,如果沒有爭鬥,那就是第一無量。貪慾是有相的,嗔恚和愚癡也是有相的,沒有爭鬥是無相的。貪慾是所有,嗔恚和愚癡是所有,沒有爭鬥是無所有。再者,沒有爭鬥是空,對於貪慾是空,對於嗔恚和愚癡是空,常住不變易是空,非我,非我所,這就是所謂一個法有種種不同的意義。』 尊者那伽達多問道:『長者,這個道理是你以前聽過的嗎?』 長者回答說:『尊者,我沒有聽過。』 (那伽達多)又告訴長者:『你獲得了大利益,在甚深的佛法中,現在以賢聖的智慧之眼得以進入。』 質多羅長者聽了尊者那伽達多所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮后離去。 (五六八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在庵羅聚落的庵羅林中,與眾上座比丘在一起。 當時,有質多羅長者來到眾上座比丘處,向眾上座行禮后,來到尊者伽摩比丘處,稽首禮足,退坐在一旁,問尊者伽摩比丘:『所謂行,是什麼叫做行?』 伽摩比丘說:『所謂行,是指三種行,身行、口行、意行。』 (質多羅)又問:『什麼是身行?什麼是口行?什麼是意行?』 (伽摩比丘)回答說:『長者,出息和入息叫做身行。有覺和有觀叫做口行。想和思叫做意行。』

English version Then (Nāgadatta) further asked the elder: 'Why is it said that one dharma has various different meanings?' The elder replied: 'Venerable one, so-called greed is limited, if there is no conflict, then it is the first immeasurable. Greed is with form, anger and ignorance are also with form, no conflict is without form. Greed is possession, anger and ignorance are possession, no conflict is non-possession. Furthermore, no conflict is empty, it is empty of greed, empty of anger and ignorance, constant and unchanging is empty, not self, not belonging to self, this is what is called one dharma having various different meanings.' Venerable Nāgadatta asked: 'Elder, is this principle something you have heard before?' The elder replied: 'Venerable one, I have not heard it.' (Nāgadatta) then told the elder: 'You have gained great benefit, in the profound Buddha-dharma, now with the wise and noble eye of wisdom you are able to enter.' The elder Cittara, having heard what Venerable Nāgadatta said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid respects and departed. (568) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Mango Grove in the Mango Village, together with many senior monks. At that time, the elder Cittara came to where the senior monks were, after paying respects to the senior monks, he went to where Venerable Gāma was, bowed his head to his feet, sat down to one side, and asked Venerable Gāma: 'What is meant by the term 'action'?' Venerable Gāma said: 'So-called action refers to three actions, bodily action, verbal action, and mental action.' (Cittara) further asked: 'What is bodily action? What is verbal action? What is mental action?' (Venerable Gāma) replied: 'Elder, exhaling and inhaling are called bodily action. Having awareness and observation is called verbal action. Perception and thought are called mental action.'


。」

復問:「何故出息、入息名為身行?有覺、有觀名為口行?想、思名為意行?」

答:「長者!出息、入息是身法,依于身、屬於身、依身轉,是故出息、入息名為身行。有覺、有觀故則口語,是故有覺、有觀是口行。想、思是意行,依於心、屬於心、依心轉,是故想、思是意行。」

復問:「尊者!覺、觀已,發口語,是覺、觀名為口行。想、思是心數法,依於心、屬於心想轉,是故想、思名為意行。」

復問:「尊者!有幾法?

「若人捨身時,  彼身尸臥地,  棄于丘塳間,  無心如木石。」

答言:「長者!

「壽暖及與識,  捨身時俱舍,  彼身棄塳間,  無心如木石。」

復問:「尊者!若死、若入滅盡正受,有差別不?」

答:「舍于壽暖,諸根悉壞,身命分離,是名為死。滅盡定者,身、口、意行滅,不捨壽命,不離於暖,諸根不壞,身命相屬,此則命終、入滅正受差別之相。」

復問:「尊者!云何入滅正受?」

答言:「長者!入滅正受,不言:『我入滅正受,我當入滅正受。』然先作如是漸息方便,如先方便,向入正受

現代漢語譯本 又問:『為什麼出息、入息稱為身行?有覺、有觀稱為口行?想、思稱為意行?』 回答說:『長者!出息、入息是身體的活動,依賴於身體、屬於身體、隨著身體運轉,所以出息、入息稱為身行。因為有覺、有觀才會有口語,所以有覺、有觀是口行。想、思是意念的活動,依賴於心、屬於心、隨著心運轉,所以想、思是意行。』 又問:『尊者!覺、觀之後,才發出口語,所以覺、觀稱為口行。想、思是心所法,依賴於心、屬於心、隨著心運轉,所以想、思稱為意行。』 又問:『尊者!有幾種法?』 『如果人捨棄身體時,那身體就躺在地上,被遺棄在墳墓之間,沒有心識如同木頭石頭。』 回答說:『長者!』 『壽命、溫暖和意識,在捨棄身體時一同捨棄,那身體被遺棄在墳墓之間,沒有心識如同木頭石頭。』 又問:『尊者!如果死亡、如果進入滅盡正受,有差別嗎?』 回答說:『捨棄壽命和溫暖,所有感官都壞滅,身體和生命分離,這稱為死亡。進入滅盡定的人,身、口、意行都滅盡,但不捨棄壽命,不離開溫暖,感官不壞滅,身體和生命相連,這就是死亡和進入滅盡正受的差別之處。』 又問:『尊者!如何進入滅盡正受?』 回答說:『長者!進入滅盡正受,不會說:『我進入滅盡正受,我將要進入滅盡正受。』而是先逐步進行止息的方便,如同先前的方便,趨向進入正受。』

English version Again he asked: 'Why are exhaling and inhaling called bodily action? Why are initial thought and sustained thought called verbal action? Why are perception and thought called mental action?' He answered: 'Elder! Exhaling and inhaling are bodily functions, they depend on the body, belong to the body, and move with the body, therefore exhaling and inhaling are called bodily action. Because there is initial thought and sustained thought, there is verbal speech, therefore initial thought and sustained thought are verbal action. Perception and thought are mental actions, they depend on the mind, belong to the mind, and move with the mind, therefore perception and thought are mental action.' Again he asked: 'Venerable one! After initial thought and sustained thought, verbal speech is produced, therefore initial thought and sustained thought are called verbal action. Perception and thought are mental phenomena, they depend on the mind, belong to the mind, and move with the mind, therefore perception and thought are called mental action.' Again he asked: 'Venerable one! How many phenomena are there?' 'When a person abandons the body, that body lies on the ground, abandoned among the mounds, without consciousness like wood or stone.' He answered: 'Elder!' 'Life, warmth, and consciousness, are abandoned together when the body is abandoned, that body is abandoned among the mounds, without consciousness like wood or stone.' Again he asked: 'Venerable one! Is there a difference between death and entering the cessation of perception and feeling?' He answered: 'Abandoning life and warmth, all the senses are destroyed, the body and life are separated, this is called death. One who enters the cessation of perception and feeling, bodily, verbal, and mental actions cease, but life is not abandoned, warmth is not departed, the senses are not destroyed, the body and life are connected, this is the difference between death and entering the cessation of perception and feeling.' Again he asked: 'Venerable one! How does one enter the cessation of perception and feeling?' He answered: 'Elder! Entering the cessation of perception and feeling, one does not say: 『I am entering the cessation of perception and feeling, I will enter the cessation of perception and feeling.』 But rather, one first gradually practices the means of cessation, like the previous means, moving towards entering the cessation.'


。」

復問:「尊者!入滅正受時,先滅何法?為身行、為口行、為意行耶?」

答言:「長者!入滅正受者,先滅口行,次身行、次意行。」

復問:「尊者!云何為出滅正受?」

答言:「長者!出滅正受者亦不念言:『我今出正受,我當出正受。』然先已作方便心,如其先心而起。」

復問:「尊者!起滅正受者,何法先起,為身行、為口行、為意行耶?」

答言:「長者!從滅正受起者,意行先起,次身行,后口行。」

復問:「尊者!入滅正受者。云何順趣、流注、浚輸?」

答言:「長者!入滅正受者,順趣于離、流注于離、浚輸于離,順趣于出、流注于出、浚輸于出,順趣涅槃、流注涅槃、浚輸涅槃。」

復問:「尊者!住滅正受時,為觸幾觸?」

答言:「長者!觸不動、觸無相、觸無所有。」

復問:「尊者!入滅正受時,為作幾法?」

答言:「長者!此應先問,何故今問,然當爲汝說。比丘入滅正受者,作於二法,止以觀。」

時,質多羅長者聞尊者迦摩所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(五六九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住庵羅聚落庵羅林中,與眾多上座比丘俱

現代漢語譯本 又問:『尊者!進入滅盡定的時候,先滅除哪種行為?是身行、口行還是意行呢?』 回答說:『長者!進入滅盡定的人,先滅除口行,其次是身行,最後是意行。』 又問:『尊者!如何從滅盡定中出來呢?』 回答說:『長者!從滅盡定中出來的人也不會想:『我現在要出定,我將要出定。』而是先有了方便的心,然後按照先前的心念而起身。』 又問:『尊者!從滅盡定中起來的時候,哪種行為先產生?是身行、口行還是意行呢?』 回答說:『長者!從滅盡定中起來的人,意行先產生,其次是身行,最後是口行。』 又問:『尊者!進入滅盡定的人,如何順應、流注、導向呢?』 回答說:『長者!進入滅盡定的人,順應于遠離、流注于遠離、導向于遠離,順應于出離、流注于出離、導向于出離,順應涅槃、流注涅槃、導向涅槃。』 又問:『尊者!住在滅盡定中的時候,會觸及幾種觸?』 回答說:『長者!觸及不動、觸及無相、觸及無所有。』 又問:『尊者!進入滅盡定的時候,會作幾種法?』 回答說:『長者!這個問題應該先問,為何現在才問,但還是為你解答。比丘進入滅盡定的時候,會作兩種法,即止和觀。』 當時,質多羅長者聽了尊者迦摩所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (五六九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在庵羅聚落的庵羅林中,與眾多上座比丘在一起。

English version Again he asked: 'Venerable sir, when entering the cessation of perception and feeling, what ceases first? Is it bodily action, verbal action, or mental action?' He replied: 'Layman, when entering the cessation of perception and feeling, verbal action ceases first, then bodily action, and lastly mental action.' Again he asked: 'Venerable sir, how does one emerge from the cessation of perception and feeling?' He replied: 'Layman, one emerging from the cessation of perception and feeling does not think: 『I am now emerging from the cessation, I will emerge from the cessation.』 Rather, one has already prepared the mind, and arises according to that prior intention.' Again he asked: 'Venerable sir, when arising from the cessation of perception and feeling, what arises first? Is it bodily action, verbal action, or mental action?' He replied: 'Layman, when arising from the cessation of perception and feeling, mental action arises first, then bodily action, and lastly verbal action.' Again he asked: 'Venerable sir, how does one who enters the cessation of perception and feeling incline, flow, and tend?' He replied: 'Layman, one who enters the cessation of perception and feeling inclines towards seclusion, flows towards seclusion, and tends towards seclusion; inclines towards detachment, flows towards detachment, and tends towards detachment; inclines towards Nirvana, flows towards Nirvana, and tends towards Nirvana.' Again he asked: 'Venerable sir, while dwelling in the cessation of perception and feeling, what kinds of contact are experienced?' He replied: 'Layman, contact with the unmoving, contact with the signless, contact with the nothingness.' Again he asked: 'Venerable sir, when entering the cessation of perception and feeling, what kinds of mental acts are performed?' He replied: 'Layman, this should have been asked earlier, why do you ask now? But I will tell you. A bhikkhu entering the cessation of perception and feeling performs two mental acts: tranquility and insight.' Then, the householder Cittara, having heard what the venerable Kamma had said, rejoiced and was pleased, and after paying homage, departed. (569) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Mango Grove in the village of Ambala, together with many elder bhikkhus.


時,質多羅長者詣諸上座比丘所,稽首禮足,於一面坐。諸上座比丘為質多羅長者種種說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,默然住。

時,質多羅長者從座起,偏袒右肩,右膝著地,合十指掌,請諸上座言:「唯愿諸尊受我薄食。」時,諸上座默然受請。

時,彼長者知諸上座默然受請已,禮足而去。還歸自家,辦種種飲食,敷床座,晨朝遣使白:「時到。」

時,諸上座著衣持缽,至長者舍,就座而坐,長者稽首禮諸上座足,於一面坐。白諸上座:「所謂種種界,云何為種種界?」

時,諸上座默然而住。如是再三。

爾時,尊者梨犀達多眾中下坐,白諸上座比丘言:「諸尊!我欲答彼長者所問。」

諸上座答言:「可。」

長者質多羅即問言:「尊者!所謂種種界,何等種種界?」

梨犀達多答言:「長者!眼界異、色界異、眼識界異;耳界異、聲界異、耳識界異;鼻界異、香界異、鼻識界異;舌界異、味界異、舌識界異;身界異、觸界異、身識界異;意界異、法界異、意識界異。如是,長者!是名種種界。」

爾時,質多羅長者下種種凈美飲食供養。眾僧食已,澡嗽、洗缽訖,質多羅長者敷一卑床,于上座前坐聽法

現代漢語譯本 當時,質多羅長者來到各位上座比丘的住所,頂禮他們的雙足,然後在一旁坐下。各位上座比丘為質多羅長者宣講各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、令其歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、令其歡喜后,便默然不語。 這時,質多羅長者從座位上起身,袒露右肩,右膝跪地,合起雙手,恭敬地請求各位上座說:『唯愿各位尊者接受我準備的粗茶淡飯。』當時,各位上座默然接受了他的邀請。 這時,那位長者知道各位上座默然接受邀請后,便頂禮他們的雙足離去。回到自己家中,準備各種飲食,鋪設床座,清晨派人告知:『時間到了。』 這時,各位上座穿好衣服,拿著缽,來到長者的住所,坐到座位上,長者頂禮各位上座的雙足,在一旁坐下。他問各位上座:『所謂的種種界,什麼是種種界呢?』 當時,各位上座默然不語。這樣問了三次。 這時,尊者梨犀達多從僧眾中起身,走到下座,對各位上座比丘說:『各位尊者!我願意回答這位長者的問題。』 各位上座回答說:『可以。』 長者質多羅立即問道:『尊者!所謂的種種界,是什麼樣的種種界呢?』 梨犀達多回答說:『長者!眼界不同、色界不同、眼識界不同;耳界不同、聲界不同、耳識界不同;鼻界不同、香界不同、鼻識界不同;舌界不同、味界不同、舌識界不同;身界不同、觸界不同、身識界不同;意界不同、法界不同、意識界不同。如此,長者!這就是所謂的種種界。』 這時,質多羅長者拿出各種乾淨美味的食物供養。僧眾用完餐后,漱口、洗缽完畢,質多羅長者鋪設一張矮床,在上座面前坐下聽法。

English version At that time, the elder Citra went to the places of the senior monks, bowed his head to their feet, and sat down on one side. The senior monks expounded various teachings to the elder Citra, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening him; having shown, taught, illuminated, and gladdened him, they remained silent. Then, the elder Citra rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, joined his palms together, and respectfully requested the senior monks, saying, 'May the venerable ones accept my humble meal.' At that time, the senior monks silently accepted his invitation. Then, that elder, knowing that the senior monks had silently accepted his invitation, bowed to their feet and departed. Returning to his own home, he prepared various foods, laid out seats, and in the morning sent a messenger to announce, 'The time has come.' Then, the senior monks put on their robes, took their bowls, went to the elder's house, and sat down in their seats. The elder bowed to the feet of the senior monks and sat down on one side. He asked the senior monks, 'What are the various realms that are called the various realms?' At that time, the senior monks remained silent. This was asked three times. Then, the venerable Rishidatta rose from the assembly, went to the lower seat, and said to the senior monks, 'Venerable ones! I wish to answer the question of that elder.' The senior monks replied, 'You may.' The elder Citra immediately asked, 'Venerable one! What are the various realms that are called the various realms?' Rishidatta replied, 'Elder! The eye realm is different, the form realm is different, the eye consciousness realm is different; the ear realm is different, the sound realm is different, the ear consciousness realm is different; the nose realm is different, the smell realm is different, the nose consciousness realm is different; the tongue realm is different, the taste realm is different, the tongue consciousness realm is different; the body realm is different, the touch realm is different, the body consciousness realm is different; the mind realm is different, the dharma realm is different, the mind consciousness realm is different. Thus, elder! These are called the various realms.' Then, the elder Citra offered various clean and delicious foods. After the monks had eaten, rinsed their mouths, and washed their bowls, the elder Citra laid out a low bed and sat before the senior monks to listen to the Dharma.


爾時,上座為長者種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,從座起去。

時,諸上座于路中語梨犀達多:「善哉!善哉!梨犀達多比丘!汝真辯捷,知事而說,若於余時,汝應常如此應。」

時,諸上座聞梨犀達多所說,歡喜奉行。

(五七〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住庵羅聚落庵羅林中,與眾多上座比丘俱。

時,質多羅長者詣諸上座所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白諸上座言:「諸世間所見,或說有我,或說眾生,或說壽命,或說世間吉兇。云何?尊者!此諸異見,何本、何集、何生、何轉?」

時,諸上座默然不答。如是三問,亦三默然。

時,有一下座比丘名梨犀達多,白諸上座言:「我欲答彼長者所問。」

諸上座言:「善能答者答。」

時,長者即問梨犀達多:「尊者!凡世間所見,何本、何集、何生、何轉?」

尊者梨犀達多答言:「長者!凡世間所見,或言有我,或說眾生,或說壽命,或說世間吉兇,斯等諸見,一切皆以身見為本,身見集、身見生、身見轉

現代漢語譯本 當時,上座為長者做了各種開示,通過展示、教導、啓發和喜悅的方式,然後從座位上起身離去。 這時,各位上座在路上對梨犀達多說:『太好了!太好了!梨犀達多比丘!你真是辯才敏捷,懂得事情並能說出來,如果以後有其他機會,你應該常常這樣。』 當時,各位上座聽了梨犀達多所說的話,都歡喜地接受並實行。 (五七〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在庵羅聚落的庵羅林中,與眾多上座比丘在一起。 當時,質多羅長者來到各位上座所在的地方,向他們頂禮問候,然後退坐在一旁,對各位上座說:『世間所見的各種觀點,有的說有『我』,有的說有眾生,有的說有壽命,有的說世間有吉兇。請問,各位尊者!這些不同的見解,它們的根本、集起、產生和轉變是什麼?』 當時,各位上座都沉默不語,沒有回答。這樣問了三次,他們也沉默了三次。 當時,有一位下座比丘名叫梨犀達多,對各位上座說:『我想要回答那位長者所問的問題。』 各位上座說:『能回答的人就回答吧。』 當時,長者就問梨犀達多:『尊者!凡是世間所見的各種觀點,它們的根本、集起、產生和轉變是什麼?』 尊者梨犀達多回答說:『長者!凡是世間所見的各種觀點,有的說有『我』,有的說有眾生,有的說有壽命,有的說世間有吉兇,所有這些見解,一切都以身見為根本,由身見集起、由身見產生、由身見轉變。』

English version At that time, the senior monks, having spoken to the elder in various ways, showing, teaching, enlightening, and gladdening him, rose from their seats and departed. Then, the senior monks on the road said to Rishidatta: 'Excellent! Excellent! Bhikkhu Rishidatta! You are truly eloquent, knowing the matter and speaking accordingly. If there are other times, you should always be like this.' At that time, the senior monks, having heard what Rishidatta had said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. (570) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Mango Grove in the Mango Village, together with many senior monks. Then, the elder Chitra came to where the senior monks were, bowed his head to their feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the senior monks: 'The various views seen in the world, some say there is a 'self', some say there are beings, some say there is a life span, and some say there are good and bad omens in the world. How is it, venerable ones? What is the root, the origin, the arising, and the transformation of these different views?' At that time, the senior monks remained silent and did not answer. He asked three times, and they remained silent three times. Then, there was a junior monk named Rishidatta, who said to the senior monks: 'I wish to answer the question asked by that elder.' The senior monks said: 'Let whoever can answer, answer.' Then, the elder asked Rishidatta: 'Venerable one! What is the root, the origin, the arising, and the transformation of all the views seen in the world?' Venerable Rishidatta replied: 'Elder! All the views seen in the world, some saying there is a 'self', some saying there are beings, some saying there is a life span, and some saying there are good and bad omens in the world, all these views are rooted in the view of self, arise from the view of self, are produced by the view of self, and are transformed by the view of self.'


。」

復問:「尊者!云何為身見?」

答言:「長者!愚癡無聞凡夫見色是我、色異我、色中我、我中色,受、想、行、識見是我、識異我、我中識、識中我。長者!是名身見。」

復問:「尊者!云何得無此身見?」

答言:「長者!謂多聞聖弟子不見色是我,不見色異我,不見我中色、色中我;不見受、想、行、識是我,不見識異我,不見我中識、識中我,是名得無身見。」

復問:「尊者!其父何名?於何所生?」

答言:「長者!我生於後方長者家。」

質多羅長者語尊者梨犀達多:「我及尊者二父本是善知識。」

梨犀達多答言:「如是,長者!」

質多羅長者語梨犀達多言:「尊者若能住此庵羅林中,我盡形壽供養衣服、飲食、隨病湯藥,尊者梨犀達多默然受請。」

時,尊者梨犀達多受質多羅長者請,供養障礙故,久不詣世尊所。

時,諸上座比丘為質多羅長者種種說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,質多羅長者歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(五七一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住庵羅聚落庵羅林中,與眾多上座比丘俱

現代漢語譯本 又問:『尊者!什麼是身見?』 答道:『長者!愚癡無知的凡夫認為色是我,色與我不同,我在色中,色在我中;受、想、行、識是我,識與我不同,我在識中,識在我中。長者!這叫做身見。』 又問:『尊者!如何才能沒有這種身見?』 答道:『長者!所謂多聞的聖弟子,不認為色是我,不認為色與我不同,不認為我在色中,色在我中;不認為受、想、行、識是我,不認為識與我不同,不認為我在識中,識在我中,這就叫做沒有身見。』 又問:『尊者!你的父親叫什麼名字?在哪裡出生的?』 答道:『長者!我出生在後方的長者家中。』 質多羅長者對尊者梨犀達多說:『我和尊者的父親本來就是好朋友。』 梨犀達多回答說:『是的,長者!』 質多羅長者對梨犀達多說:『尊者如果能住在這庵羅林中,我將終身供養您的衣服、飲食、以及生病時的湯藥。』尊者梨犀達多默然接受了邀請。 當時,尊者梨犀達多接受了質多羅長者的邀請,因為供養的緣故,很久沒有去拜見世尊。 當時,各位上座比丘為質多羅長者做了各種開示,教導,啓發,使他歡喜;開示,教導,啓發,使他歡喜后,質多羅長者歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (五七一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在庵羅聚落的庵羅林中,與眾多上座比丘在一起。

English version Again he asked: 'Venerable sir, what is the view of self?' He replied: 'Householder, an ignorant, unlearned ordinary person sees form as self, form as different from self, self in form, and form in self; feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness as self, consciousness as different from self, self in consciousness, and consciousness in self. Householder, this is called the view of self.' Again he asked: 'Venerable sir, how does one get rid of this view of self?' He replied: 'Householder, a well-learned noble disciple does not see form as self, does not see form as different from self, does not see self in form, or form in self; does not see feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness as self, does not see consciousness as different from self, does not see self in consciousness, or consciousness in self. This is called getting rid of the view of self.' Again he asked: 'Venerable sir, what is your father's name? Where was he born?' He replied: 'Householder, I was born in the house of a householder in the rear.' Householder Cittara said to Venerable Likhidatta: 'My father and your father were originally good friends.' Likhidatta replied: 'That is so, householder!' Householder Cittara said to Likhidatta: 'If the Venerable One can stay in this Amra Grove, I will provide you with robes, food, and medicine for illness for the rest of my life.' Venerable Likhidatta silently accepted the invitation. At that time, Venerable Likhidatta accepted the invitation of Householder Cittara, and because of the support, he did not visit the World Honored One for a long time. At that time, the elder monks gave various teachings to Householder Cittara, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening him; having shown, taught, illuminated, and gladdened him, Householder Cittara rejoiced, paid respects, and departed. (571) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Amra Grove in the village of Amra, together with many elder monks.


時,有質多羅長者詣諸上座所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白諸上座比丘言:「唯愿諸尊于牛牧中受我請食。」

時,諸上座默然受請。

質多羅長者知諸上座默然受請已,即自還家。星夜備具種種飲食,晨朝敷座,遣使白諸上座:「時到。」

諸上座著衣持缽,至牛牧中質多羅長者舍,就座而坐。

時,質多羅長者自手供養種種飲食。食已,洗缽、澡漱畢,質多羅長者敷一卑床,于上座前坐聽法。

時,諸上座為長者說種種法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,從座起去,質多羅長者亦隨後去。

諸上座食諸酥酪蜜飽滿,于春后月熱時,行路悶極。

爾時,有一下座比丘名摩訶迦,白諸上座:「今日大熱,我欲起雲雨微風,可爾不?」

諸上座答言:「汝能爾者,佳。」

時,摩訶迦即入三昧,如其正受。應時云起,細雨微下,涼風亹亹從四方來,至精舍門,尊者摩訶迦語諸上座言:「所作可止?」

答言:「可止。」

時,尊者摩訶迦即止神通,還於自房。

時,質多羅長者作是念:「最下座比丘而能有此大神通力,況復中座及與上座

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位名叫質多羅的長者來到各位上座比丘的住所,他恭敬地頂禮他們的雙足,然後退到一旁坐下,對上座比丘們說道:『希望各位尊者能在牛牧場接受我的供養。』 當時,各位上座比丘默然接受了他的邀請。 質多羅長者知道各位上座比丘默許了他的邀請后,就自己回到家中。他連夜準備了各種飲食,清晨鋪設好座位,然後派人告知各位上座:『時間到了。』 各位上座比丘穿好衣服,拿著缽,來到牛牧場質多羅長者的住所,然後就座。 當時,質多羅長者親自供養各種飲食。用完餐后,洗凈缽,漱口完畢,質多羅長者鋪設了一張矮床,坐在上座比丘面前聽法。 當時,各位上座比丘為長者宣講各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,就從座位起身離去,質多羅長者也隨後送行。 各位上座比丘因為吃了酥油、乳酪、蜂蜜而感到飽脹,在春末夏初炎熱的時候,走在路上感到非常悶熱。 這時,有一位名叫摩訶迦的下座比丘,對各位上座比丘說道:『今天天氣炎熱,我想施展神通,降下雲雨微風,可以嗎?』 各位上座比丘回答說:『如果你能做到,那就很好。』 當時,摩訶迦立即進入禪定,如其所愿。隨即雲彩涌起,細雨微微落下,涼風習習從四面八方吹來,一直到精舍門口。尊者摩訶迦對各位上座比丘說:『可以停止了嗎?』 他們回答說:『可以停止了。』 當時,尊者摩訶迦立即停止了神通,回到自己的房間。 當時,質多羅長者心想:『最下座的比丘都能有如此大的神通力,更何況是中座和上座的比丘呢?』

English version: At that time, a householder named Citra approached the elder monks, bowed respectfully at their feet, and sat to one side. He said to the elder monks, 'Venerable ones, I request that you accept my meal offering at the cow pasture.' At that time, the elder monks silently accepted his invitation. Knowing that the elder monks had silently accepted his invitation, Citra returned home. He prepared various foods throughout the night, set out seats in the morning, and sent a messenger to inform the elder monks, 'The time has come.' The elder monks put on their robes, took their bowls, and went to Citra's residence at the cow pasture, where they took their seats. Then, Citra personally offered various foods. After the meal, having washed their bowls and rinsed their mouths, Citra laid out a low seat and sat before the elder monks to listen to the Dharma. At that time, the elder monks taught the householder various aspects of the Dharma, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening him. Having shown, instructed, illuminated, and gladdened him, they rose from their seats and departed, with Citra following behind to see them off. The elder monks, having eaten their fill of ghee, curds, and honey, felt extremely hot and uncomfortable walking in the heat of the late spring. Then, a junior monk named Mahaka said to the elder monks, 'Today is very hot. I wish to create clouds, rain, and a gentle breeze. Is that acceptable?' The elder monks replied, 'If you can do that, it would be good.' Then, Mahaka immediately entered samadhi, as he intended. At that moment, clouds arose, a light rain began to fall, and a cool breeze blew gently from all directions, reaching the gate of the monastery. Venerable Mahaka said to the elder monks, 'May I stop now?' They replied, 'You may stop.' Then, Venerable Mahaka immediately ceased his miraculous power and returned to his own room. At that time, Citra thought to himself, 'If the most junior monk has such great miraculous power, how much more so must the middle and senior monks have?'


。」即禮諸上座比丘足,隨摩訶迦比丘至所住房,禮尊者摩訶迦足,退坐一面,白言:「尊者!我欲得見尊者過人法神足現化。」

尊者摩訶迦言:「長者!勿見恐怖。」

如是三請,亦三不許。長者由復重請願見尊者神通變化。

尊者摩訶迦語長者言:「汝且出外,取乾草木積聚已,以一張㲲覆上。」

質多羅長者即如其教,出外聚薪成𧂐,來白尊者摩訶迦:「薪𧂐已成,以㲲覆上。」

時,尊者摩訶迦即入火光三昧,于戶鉤孔中出火焰光,燒其積薪都盡,唯白㲲不然,語長者言:「汝今見不?」

答言:「已見。尊者!實為奇特。」

尊者摩訶迦語長者言:「當知此者皆以不放逸為本,不放逸集、不放逸生、不放逸轉,不放逸故得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。是故,長者!此及余功德,一切皆以不放逸為本,不放逸集、不放逸生、不放逸轉,不放逸故得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,及余道品法。」

質多羅長者白尊者摩訶迦:「愿常住此林中,我當盡壽衣、被、飲食、隨病湯藥。」

尊者摩訶迦有行因緣故,不受其請。

質多羅長者聞說法已,歡喜隨喜,即從座起,作禮而去。

尊者摩訶迦不欲令供養利障罪故,即從座起去,遂不復還

現代漢語譯本:於是,他先禮拜了在座的所有比丘的腳,然後跟隨摩訶迦比丘來到他的住處,禮拜了尊者摩訶迦的腳,退到一旁坐下,說道:『尊者!我希望能親眼見到尊者展現超凡的神通變化。』 尊者摩訶迦說:『長者!不要害怕。』 他這樣請求了三次,尊者也三次沒有答應。長者仍然堅持想要親眼看到尊者的神通變化。 尊者摩訶迦對長者說:『你先出去,收集一些乾柴木頭堆積起來,然後用一張毯子蓋在上面。』 質多羅長者立刻按照他的指示,出去堆積柴火成堆,然後回來告訴尊者摩訶迦:『柴堆已經堆好,用毯子蓋上了。』 這時,尊者摩訶迦進入火光三昧,從門上的鉤孔中放出火焰,將堆積的柴火全部燒盡,只有白色的毯子沒有被燒燬。他問長者:『你現在看到了嗎?』 長者回答說:『看到了。尊者!這真是太神奇了。』 尊者摩訶迦對長者說:『你要知道,這一切都是以不放逸為根本,不放逸聚集、不放逸產生、不放逸運轉,因為不放逸才能證得無上正等正覺。所以,長者!這些以及其他的功德,一切都是以不放逸為根本,不放逸聚集、不放逸產生、不放逸運轉,因為不放逸才能證得無上正等正覺,以及其他的道品法。』 質多羅長者對尊者摩訶迦說:『希望您能常住在這片樹林中,我將盡我一生供養您的衣物、飲食、臥具和醫藥。』 尊者摩訶迦因為有其他要事,沒有接受他的請求。 質多羅長者聽聞佛法后,歡喜讚歎,立刻從座位上站起來,行禮后離開了。 尊者摩訶迦不希望因為接受供養而產生障礙和罪過,於是也從座位上起身離開了,再也沒有回來。

English version: Then, he first paid homage to the feet of all the monks present, and then followed the monk Mahakashyapa to his dwelling, paid homage to the feet of the venerable Mahakashyapa, retreated to one side and sat down, saying: 'Venerable one! I wish to see with my own eyes the venerable one display extraordinary supernatural transformations.' The venerable Mahakashyapa said: 'Elder! Do not be afraid.' He requested this three times, and the venerable one refused three times. The elder still insisted on wanting to see the venerable one's supernatural transformations with his own eyes. The venerable Mahakashyapa said to the elder: 'You go out first, gather some dry firewood and pile it up, and then cover it with a blanket.' The elder Chitra immediately followed his instructions, went out and piled up the firewood, and then came back to tell the venerable Mahakashyapa: 'The pile of firewood is ready, and it is covered with a blanket.' At this time, the venerable Mahakashyapa entered the fire light samadhi, and from the hook hole on the door, he released flames that burned all the piled firewood, only the white blanket was not burned. He asked the elder: 'Do you see it now?' The elder replied: 'I see it. Venerable one! This is truly amazing.' The venerable Mahakashyapa said to the elder: 'You should know that all of this is based on non-negligence, non-negligence gathers, non-negligence arises, non-negligence operates, and because of non-negligence, one can attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Therefore, elder! These and other merits, all are based on non-negligence, non-negligence gathers, non-negligence arises, non-negligence operates, and because of non-negligence, one can attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, and other aspects of the path.' The elder Chitra said to the venerable Mahakashyapa: 'I hope that you can stay in this forest permanently, and I will provide you with clothing, food, bedding, and medicine for the rest of my life.' The venerable Mahakashyapa, because he had other matters to attend to, did not accept his request. After hearing the Dharma, the elder Chitra rejoiced and praised, immediately stood up from his seat, paid his respects, and left. The venerable Mahakashyapa, not wanting to create obstacles and sins by accepting offerings, also got up from his seat and left, never to return.


(五七二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住庵羅林中,與眾多上座比丘俱。

爾時,眾多上座比丘集於食堂,作如是論議:「諸尊!于意云何?謂眼系色耶?色系眼耶?如是耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法,為意系法耶?法系意耶?」

時,質多羅長者行有所營,便過精舍,見諸上座比丘集於食堂,即便前禮諸上座足,禮足已,問言:「尊者集於食堂,論說何法?」

諸上座答言:「長者!我等今日集此食堂,作如此論:『為眼系色耶?色系眼耶?如是耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法,為意系法耶?為法系意耶?』」

長者問言:「諸尊者於此義云何記說?」

諸上座言:「于長者意云何?」

長者答諸上座言:「如我意,謂非眼系色,非色系眼,乃至非意系法,非法系意,然中間有欲貪者,隨彼系也。譬如二牛,一黑一白,駕以軛鞅。有人問言:『為黑牛系白牛?為白牛系黑牛?』為等問不?」

答言:「長者!非等問也。所以者何?非黑牛系白牛,亦非白牛系黑牛,然彼軛鞅是其系也。」

「如是,尊者!非眼系色,非色系眼,乃至非意系法,非法系意,然其中間,欲貪是其系也

現代漢語譯本: (五七二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在庵羅林中,與眾多上座比丘在一起。 當時,眾多上座比丘聚集在食堂,進行這樣的討論:『諸位尊者!你們認為怎麼樣?是眼睛束縛顏色呢?還是顏色束縛眼睛呢?像這樣,耳朵和聲音、鼻子和氣味、舌頭和味道、身體和觸感、意識和法,是意識束縛法呢?還是法束縛意識呢?』 當時,質多羅長者因為有事要辦,路過精舍,看見上座比丘們聚集在食堂,便上前禮拜上座比丘們的腳,禮拜完畢后,問道:『尊者們聚集在食堂,討論的是什麼法呢?』 上座比丘們回答說:『長者!我們今天聚集在這裡,討論這樣的問題:』是眼睛束縛顏色呢?還是顏色束縛眼睛呢?像這樣,耳朵和聲音、鼻子和氣味、舌頭和味道、身體和觸感、意識和法,是意識束縛法呢?還是法束縛意識呢?』 長者問道:『各位尊者對此義是如何理解的呢?』 上座比丘們說:『長者認為呢?』 長者回答上座比丘們說:『依我看來,不是眼睛束縛顏色,也不是顏色束縛眼睛,乃至不是意識束縛法,也不是法束縛意識,而是中間的慾望和貪婪在束縛它們。譬如兩頭牛,一黑一白,用軛套在一起。有人問:』是黑牛束縛白牛呢?還是白牛束縛黑牛呢?『這樣問對嗎?』 他們回答說:『長者!這樣問不對。為什麼呢?不是黑牛束縛白牛,也不是白牛束縛黑牛,而是那個軛在束縛它們。』 『是的,尊者們!不是眼睛束縛顏色,也不是顏色束縛眼睛,乃至不是意識束縛法,也不是法束縛意識,而是中間的慾望和貪婪在束縛它們。』

English version: (572) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Ambara Grove, together with many elder monks. At that time, many elder monks gathered in the refectory, discussing thus: 'Venerable ones! What do you think? Does the eye bind to form, or does form bind to the eye? Likewise, with ear and sound, nose and smell, tongue and taste, body and touch, mind and dharma, does the mind bind to dharma, or does dharma bind to the mind?' Then, the householder Cittara, having some business to attend to, passed by the monastery and saw the elder monks gathered in the refectory. He approached and bowed at the feet of the elder monks, and after bowing, asked: 'Venerable ones, what dharma are you discussing while gathered in the refectory?' The elder monks replied: 'Householder! Today we have gathered here in the refectory, discussing this: 'Does the eye bind to form, or does form bind to the eye? Likewise, with ear and sound, nose and smell, tongue and taste, body and touch, mind and dharma, does the mind bind to dharma, or does dharma bind to the mind?' The householder asked: 'How do the venerable ones understand this meaning?' The elder monks said: 'What do you think, householder?' The householder replied to the elder monks: 'In my opinion, it is not that the eye binds to form, nor that form binds to the eye, and likewise, it is not that the mind binds to dharma, nor that dharma binds to the mind, but rather, the desire and greed in between bind them. For example, two oxen, one black and one white, are yoked together. If someone asks: 'Does the black ox bind the white ox, or does the white ox bind the black ox?' Is this a proper question?' They replied: 'Householder! That is not a proper question. Why? It is not that the black ox binds the white ox, nor that the white ox binds the black ox, but rather, the yoke binds them.' 'Likewise, venerable ones! It is not that the eye binds to form, nor that form binds to the eye, and likewise, it is not that the mind binds to dharma, nor that dharma binds to the mind, but rather, the desire and greed in between bind them.'


。」

時,質多羅長者聞諸上座所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(五七三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住庵羅林中。時,有阿耆毗外道是質多羅長者先人親厚,來詣質多羅長者所,共相問訊慰勞已,於一面住。

質多羅長者問阿耆毗外道:「汝出家幾時?」

答言:「長者!我出家已來二十餘年。」

質多羅長者問言:「汝出家來過二十年,為得過人法,究竟知見,安樂住不?」

答言:「長者!雖出家過二十年,不得過人法,究竟知見,安樂住,唯有裸形、拔髮、乞食,人間遊行,臥于土中。」

質多羅長者言:「此非名稱法、律,此是惡知,非出要道,非曰等覺,非讚歎處,不可依止。唐名出家過二十年,裸形、拔髮、乞食,人間遊行,臥灰土中。」

阿耆毗問質多羅長者:「汝為沙門瞿曇作弟子,於今幾時?」

質多羅長者答言:「我為世尊弟子過二十年。」

復問質多羅長者:「汝為沙門瞿曇弟子過二十年,復得過人法,勝、究竟知見不?」

質多羅長者答言:「汝今當知,質多羅長者要不復經由胞胎而受生,不復增于丘塳,不復起于血氣,如世尊所說五下分結,不見一結而不斷者,若一結不斷,當復還生此世

現代漢語譯本 當時,質多羅長者聽了諸位上座所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。

(五七三)

我聽聞是這樣的:

一時,佛陀住在庵羅林中。當時,有一位阿耆毗外道,是質多羅長者以前的親密朋友,來到質多羅長者處,互相問候慰問后,在一旁坐下。

質多羅長者問阿耆毗外道:『你出家多久了?』

回答說:『長者!我出家已經二十多年了。』

質多羅長者問道:『你出家已經二十多年了,是否獲得了超凡的法,究竟的知見,安樂的住處?』

回答說:『長者!雖然出家已經二十多年,沒有獲得超凡的法,究竟的知見,安樂的住處,只是裸露身體、拔掉頭髮、乞討食物,在人間**,睡在泥土中。』

質多羅長者說:『這不是所謂的正法和戒律,這是錯誤的見解,不是解脫之道,不是真正的覺悟,不值得讚歎,不可依止。白白出家二十多年,裸露身體、拔掉頭髮、乞討食物,在人間**,睡在灰土中。』

阿耆毗問質多羅長者:『你做沙門瞿曇的弟子,到現在多久了?』

質多羅長者回答說:『我做世尊的弟子已經二十多年了。』

又問質多羅長者:『你做沙門瞿曇的弟子已經二十多年了,是否獲得了超凡的法,殊勝的、究竟的知見?』

質多羅長者回答說:『你現在應當知道,質多羅長者不會再經歷胞胎而受生,不會再增加墳墓,不會再產生血氣,如世尊所說的五下分結,沒有一個結是不被斷除的,如果有一個結沒有斷除,就應當再次回到這個世間。』

English version At that time, the elder Citra, having heard what the venerable monks had said, rejoiced and approved, paid his respects, and departed.

(573)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Ambara Grove. At that time, there was an Ajivika ascetic who was a close friend of the elder Citra from before. He came to the elder Citra, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries, sat down to one side.

The elder Citra asked the Ajivika ascetic, 'How long have you been ordained?'

He replied, 'Elder, I have been ordained for over twenty years.'

The elder Citra asked, 'Having been ordained for over twenty years, have you attained any superhuman qualities, ultimate knowledge and insight, and a peaceful dwelling?'

He replied, 'Elder, although I have been ordained for over twenty years, I have not attained any superhuman qualities, ultimate knowledge and insight, or a peaceful dwelling. I only go naked, pluck out my hair, beg for food, wander among people, and sleep on the ground.'

The elder Citra said, 'This is not the way of the Dharma or the Vinaya. This is wrong knowledge, not the path to liberation, not true enlightenment, not worthy of praise, and not something to rely on. It is in vain that you have been ordained for over twenty years, going naked, plucking out your hair, begging for food, wandering among people, and sleeping in the dust.'

The Ajivika asked the elder Citra, 'How long have you been a disciple of the ascetic Gautama?'

The elder Citra replied, 'I have been a disciple of the World-Honored One for over twenty years.'

He further asked the elder Citra, 'Having been a disciple of the ascetic Gautama for over twenty years, have you attained any superhuman qualities, superior and ultimate knowledge and insight?'

The elder Citra replied, 'You should know now that the elder Citra will not be reborn through the womb, will not add to the burial mounds, and will not generate blood and breath. As the World-Honored One has said regarding the five lower fetters, there is not one fetter that has not been broken. If even one fetter were not broken, one would have to return to this world.'


。」

如是說時,阿耆毗迦悲嘆涕淚,以衣拭面,謂質多羅長者言:「我今當作何計?」

質多羅長者答言:「汝若能于正法、律出家者,我當給汝衣缽供身之具。」

阿耆毗迦須臾思惟已,語質多羅長者言:「我今隨喜,示我所作。」

時,質多羅長者將彼阿耆毗迦往詣諸上座所,禮諸上座足,於一面坐。白諸上座比丘言:「尊者!此阿耆毗迦是我先人親厚,今求出家作比丘,愿諸上座度令出家,我當供給衣缽眾具。」

諸上座即令出家,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣。出家已,思惟:「所以善男子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,出家增進學道,凈修梵行……。」得阿羅漢。

(五七四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住庵羅聚落庵羅林中,與諸上座比丘俱。

時,有尼犍若提子與五百眷屬詣庵羅林中,欲誘質多羅長者以為弟子。質多羅長者聞尼犍若提子將五百眷屬來詣庵羅林中,欲誘我為弟子,聞已,即往詣其所,共相問訊畢,各於一面坐。

時,尼犍若提子語質多羅長者言:「汝信沙門瞿曇得無覺無觀三昧耶?」

質多羅長者答言:「我不以信故來也。」

阿耆毗言:「長者!汝不諂、不幻、質直、質直所生

這樣說著的時候,阿耆毗迦悲傷地哭泣,用衣服擦拭著臉,對質多羅長者說:『我現在該怎麼辦呢?』 質多羅長者回答說:『如果你能在正法和戒律中出家,我將供給你衣服和缽等生活用品。』 阿耆毗迦稍微思考了一下,對質多羅長者說:『我現在很樂意,請告訴我該怎麼做。』 當時,質多羅長者帶著阿耆毗迦去見各位上座,禮拜了上座們的腳,在一旁坐下。他向上座比丘們說道:『各位尊者!這位阿耆毗迦是我先人的親密朋友,現在他請求出家做比丘,希望各位上座能度他出家,我將供給他的衣服和缽等用具。』 各位上座就讓他出家,剃除了他的鬚髮,穿上了袈裟。出家后,他思考著:『善男子剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,出家是爲了增進學道,清凈地修行梵行……』,最終證得了阿羅漢果。 (五七四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在庵羅聚落的庵羅林中,與各位上座比丘在一起。 當時,有尼犍若提子帶著五百名眷屬來到庵羅林中,想要引誘質多羅長者成為他的弟子。質多羅長者聽說尼犍若提子帶著五百名眷屬來到庵羅林中,想要引誘他成為弟子,聽后,就前往尼犍若提子那裡,互相問候完畢,各自在一旁坐下。 當時,尼犍若提子對質多羅長者說:『你相信沙門瞿曇能得到無覺無觀的三昧嗎?』 質多羅長者回答說:『我不是因為相信才來的。』 阿耆毗說:『長者!你不諂媚、不虛幻,正直,正直所生』

As he spoke, Ajivika lamented and wept, wiping his face with his robe, and said to the elder Cittara, 'What should I do now?' The elder Cittara replied, 'If you are able to leave home in the Dharma and Vinaya, I will provide you with robes and a bowl for your needs.' Ajivika pondered for a moment and then said to the elder Cittara, 'I am now willing, show me what to do.' At that time, the elder Cittara took Ajivika to the senior monks, bowed at their feet, and sat to one side. He said to the senior monks, 'Venerable ones! This Ajivika is a close friend of my ancestors, and now he seeks to leave home and become a monk. May the venerable ones ordain him, and I will provide his robes and other necessities.' The senior monks then allowed him to leave home, shaved his head and beard, and put on the monastic robes. After leaving home, he reflected, 'A good man shaves his head and beard, puts on monastic robes, and leaves home to advance in learning the Way, to purely practice the holy life...' and attained Arhatship. (574) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Mango Grove in the village of Amra, together with the senior monks. At that time, Nigantha Nataputta, with five hundred followers, went to the Mango Grove, intending to entice the elder Cittara to become his disciple. The elder Cittara heard that Nigantha Nataputta was coming to the Mango Grove with five hundred followers, intending to entice him to become his disciple. Upon hearing this, he went to Nigantha Nataputta, and after exchanging greetings, they sat down to one side. Then, Nigantha Nataputta said to the elder Cittara, 'Do you believe that the Shramana Gautama has attained the samadhi of no perception and no thought?' The elder Cittara replied, 'I have not come because of belief.' Ajivika said, 'Elder! You are not flattering, not illusory, upright, born of uprightness.'


。長者!若能息有覺有觀者,亦能以繩繫縛于風,若能息有覺有觀者,亦可以一把土斷恒水流,我於行、住、坐、臥智見常生。」

質多羅長者問尼犍若提子:「為信在前耶?為智在前耶?信之與智,何者為先?何者為勝?」

尼犍若提子答言:「信應在前,然後有智,信智相比,智則為勝。」

質多羅長者語尼犍若提子:「我已求得息有覺有觀,內凈一心,無覺無觀,三昧生喜樂,第二禪具足住。我晝亦住此三昧,夜亦住此三昧,終夜常住此三昧,有如是智,何用信世尊為?」

尼犍若提子言:「汝諂曲、幻偽、不直、不直所生。」

質多羅長者言:「汝先言我不諂曲、不幻、質直、質直所生,今云何言諂曲、幻偽、不直、不直所生耶?若汝前實者,后則虛,后實者,前則虛。汝先言:『我於行、住、坐、臥知見常生。』汝於前后,小事不知。云何知過人法?若知、若見、安樂住事?」長者復問尼犍若提子:「有於一問、一說、一記論,乃至十問、十說、十記論,汝有此不?若無一問、一說、一記論,乃至十問、十說、十記論。云何能誘於我,而來至此庵羅林中欲誘誑我?」

於是尼犍若提子息閉掉頭,反拱而出,不復還顧

現代漢語譯本:長者啊!如果能夠止息有覺有觀的狀態,那也就能用繩子捆住風,如果能夠止息有覺有觀的狀態,也就能用一把土截斷恒河的流水。我無論行走、站立、坐著、躺臥,智慧見解都常在生起。 質多羅長者問尼犍若提子:『是信在前呢?還是智在前呢?信和智,哪個為先?哪個更勝一籌?』 尼犍若提子回答說:『應該先有信,然後才有智。信和智相比,智則更為殊勝。』 質多羅長者對尼犍若提子說:『我已經證得了止息有覺有觀,內心清凈,一心不亂,無覺無觀,三昧生起喜樂,安住于第二禪。我白天也安住于這種三昧,夜晚也安住于這種三昧,整夜都安住于這種三昧。我有這樣的智慧,還需要信奉世尊做什麼呢?』 尼犍若提子說:『你這是諂媚、虛偽、不正直、由不正直而生。』 質多羅長者說:『你先前說我不諂媚、不虛偽、質直、由質直而生,現在又怎麼說我諂媚、虛偽、不正直、由不正直而生呢?如果你先前說的是真的,那後面說的就是假的;如果後面說的是真的,那先前說的就是假的。你先前說:『我無論行走、站立、坐著、躺臥,知見都常在生起。』你對於前後這樣的小事都不知道,又怎麼能知道超越常人的法?又怎麼能知道、見到、安樂住的事情呢?』長者又問尼犍若提子:『對於一個問題、一種說法、一個記論,乃至十個問題、十種說法、十個記論,你有沒有這些能力?如果沒有一個問題、一種說法、一個記論,乃至十個問題、十種說法、十個記論,你又怎麼能引誘我,來到這庵羅林中想要欺騙我呢?』 於是,尼犍若提子閉口不言,掉頭轉身,反手作揖而出,不再回頭。

English version: 'Elder! If one can cease the state of having perception and thought, one could also bind the wind with a rope. If one can cease the state of having perception and thought, one could also stop the flow of the Ganges River with a handful of soil. Whether I am walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, my wisdom and insight are constantly arising.' The elder Cittara asked Nigantha Nataputta, 'Is faith prior, or is wisdom prior? Between faith and wisdom, which comes first? Which is superior?' Nigantha Nataputta replied, 'Faith should come first, and then there is wisdom. Compared to faith, wisdom is superior.' The elder Cittara said to Nigantha Nataputta, 'I have already attained the cessation of perception and thought, inner purity, one-pointedness of mind, without perception or thought, joy and happiness arising from samadhi, and abiding in the second jhana. I abide in this samadhi during the day, I abide in this samadhi during the night, and I constantly abide in this samadhi throughout the night. With such wisdom, what need do I have to believe in the World Honored One?' Nigantha Nataputta said, 'You are flattering, deceitful, dishonest, and born of dishonesty.' The elder Cittara said, 'You previously said that I am not flattering, not deceitful, honest, and born of honesty. How can you now say that I am flattering, deceitful, dishonest, and born of dishonesty? If what you said before was true, then what you say now is false; if what you say now is true, then what you said before is false. You previously said, 'Whether I am walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, my knowledge and insight are constantly arising.' You do not know even these small matters of before and after, how can you know the Dharma that surpasses ordinary people? How can you know, see, and abide in peace?' The elder further asked Nigantha Nataputta, 'Do you have the ability to answer one question, give one explanation, or make one pronouncement, or even ten questions, ten explanations, or ten pronouncements? If you do not have even one question, one explanation, or one pronouncement, or even ten questions, ten explanations, or ten pronouncements, how can you entice me to come to this Amra grove to deceive me?' Thereupon, Nigantha Nataputta became silent, turned his head, clasped his hands in reverse, and left without looking back.


(五七五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住庵羅聚落庵羅林中,與眾多上座比丘俱。

爾時,質多羅長者病苦,諸親圍繞,有眾多諸天來詣長者所,語質多羅長者言:「長者!汝當發願得作轉輪王。」

質多羅長者語諸天言:「若作轉輪王,彼亦無常、苦、空、無我。」

時,長者親屬語長者:「汝當繫念。汝當繫念。」

質多羅長者語親屬:「何故汝等教我係念,繫念?」

彼親屬言:「汝作是言:『無常、苦、空、無我。』是故教汝繫念、繫念也。」

長者語諸親屬:「有諸天人來至我所,語我言:『汝當發願得作轉輪聖王,隨愿得果。』我即答言:『彼轉輪王亦復無常、苦、空、非我。』」

彼諸親屬語質多羅長者:「轉輪王有何,而彼諸天教汝愿求?」

長者答言:「轉輪王者以正法治化,是故諸天見如是福利故,而來教我為發願求。」

諸親屬言:「汝今用心,當如之何?」

長者答言:「諸親屬!我今作心,唯不復見胞胎受生,不增丘塳,不受血氣,如世尊說,五下分結我不見有,我不自見一結不斷,若結不斷,則還生此世

現代漢語譯本 (五七五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在庵羅聚落的庵羅林中,與眾多上座比丘在一起。 當時,質多羅長者生病受苦,親人們都圍在他身邊。有許多天人來到長者那裡,對質多羅長者說:『長者!您應當發願成為轉輪王。』 質多羅長者對天人們說:『即使成為轉輪王,他也是無常的、痛苦的、空虛的、無我的。』 這時,長者的親屬對長者說:『您應當繫念。您應當繫念。』 質多羅長者對親屬說:『你們為什麼教我係念,繫念?』 那些親屬說:『您說「無常、苦、空、無我」,所以才教您繫念、繫念。』 長者對親屬說:『有天人來到我這裡,對我說:「您應當發願成為轉輪聖王,隨愿就能得到結果。」我立即回答說:「那轉輪王也是無常的、痛苦的、空虛的、非我的。」』 那些親屬對質多羅長者說:『轉輪王有什麼好處,那些天人才教您發願求取?』 長者回答說:『轉輪王以正法治理天下,所以天人看到這樣的福報,才來教我發願求取。』 親屬們說:『您現在用心,打算怎麼樣?』 長者回答說:『各位親屬!我現在的心意是,不再見到胞胎受生,不再增加墳墓,不再受血氣之身。正如世尊所說,五下分結我沒有看到有,我沒有看到自己有一結沒有斷。如果結沒有斷,就會再生到這個世間。』

English version (575) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Mango Grove in the Mango Village, together with many elder monks. At that time, the elder Cittara was suffering from illness, and his relatives were gathered around him. Many devas came to the elder and said to him, 'Elder! You should make a wish to become a Wheel-Turning King.' The elder Cittara said to the devas, 'Even if one becomes a Wheel-Turning King, he is also impermanent, suffering, empty, and without self.' Then, the elder's relatives said to him, 'You should be mindful. You should be mindful.' The elder Cittara said to his relatives, 'Why do you teach me to be mindful, to be mindful?' Those relatives said, 'You said, 'Impermanent, suffering, empty, and without self,' that is why we teach you to be mindful, to be mindful.' The elder said to his relatives, 'Devas came to me and said, 'You should make a wish to become a Holy Wheel-Turning King, and you will obtain the result according to your wish.' I immediately replied, 'That Wheel-Turning King is also impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self.' Those relatives said to the elder Cittara, 'What is so great about a Wheel-Turning King that those devas teach you to wish for it?' The elder replied, 'A Wheel-Turning King governs with the righteous Dharma, therefore the devas, seeing such benefits, come to teach me to wish for it.' The relatives said, 'What is your intention now, what do you plan to do?' The elder replied, 'Dear relatives! My intention now is that I will no longer see rebirth in a womb, no longer increase the mounds of graves, and no longer receive a body of blood and breath. As the World Honored One has said, I do not see that I have any of the five lower fetters, and I do not see that I have any fetter that is not broken. If a fetter is not broken, then one will be reborn in this world.'


。」

於是長者即從床起,結加趺坐,正念在前,而說偈言:

「服食積所積,  廣度于眾難,  施上進福田,  殖斯五種力。  以斯義所欲,  俗人處於家,  我悉得此利,  已免於眾難。  世間所聞習,  遠離眾難事,  生樂知稍難,  隨順等正覺。  供養持戒者,  善修諸梵行,  漏盡阿羅漢,  及聲聞牟尼。  如是超越見,  于上諸勝處,  常行士夫施,  克終獲大果。  習行眾多施,  施諸良福田,  於此世命終,  化生於天上。  五欲具足滿,  無量心悅樂,  獲斯妙果報,  以無慳吝故。  在所處受生,  未曾不歡喜。」

質多羅長者說此偈已,尋即命終,生於不煩熱天。

爾時,質多羅天子作是念:「我不應停此,當往閻浮提禮拜諸上座比丘。」如力士屈伸臂頃,以天神力至庵羅林中,放身天光,遍照庵羅林。

時,有異比丘夜起出房,露地經行,見勝光明普照樹林。即說偈言:

「是誰妙天色,  住于虛空中,  譬如純金山,  閻浮檀凈光

現代漢語譯本 於是,長者立刻從床上起身,結跏趺坐,正念集中在前方,然後說了偈語: 『通過積累食物和衣物,我廣泛地幫助眾人脫離困境, 在殊勝的福田中佈施,培養這五種力量。 憑藉這些道理和願望,即使是居家之人, 我也能獲得這些利益,已經免除了各種苦難。 世間所聽聞和學習的,都是爲了遠離各種困難的事情, 要生起快樂和智慧是有些困難的,要隨順於正等正覺。 供養持戒的人,那些善於修行梵行的人, 那些漏盡煩惱的阿羅漢,以及聲聞牟尼。 像這樣超越世俗的見解,在這些殊勝的境界中, 經常進行士夫的佈施,最終會獲得巨大的果報。 習慣於進行大量的佈施,佈施給那些良善的福田, 在此世生命終結時,就會化生到天上。 五種慾望都得到滿足,心中充滿無量的喜悅, 獲得如此美妙的果報,都是因為沒有慳吝的緣故。 無論在何處受生,都未曾不感到歡喜。』 質多羅長者說完這偈語后,隨即去世,往生到不煩熱天。 當時,質多羅天子心想:『我不應該停留在這裡,我應該前往閻浮提禮拜各位上座比丘。』就像力士屈伸手臂一樣迅速,他以天神的力量到達了庵羅林中,放出自身的天光,照亮了整個庵羅林。 當時,有一位比丘在夜晚起身走出房間,在露天行走,看見殊勝的光明普照樹林。他便說了偈語: 『是誰擁有如此美妙的天色,停留在虛空中, 就像純金的山峰一樣,散發著閻浮檀的清凈光芒?』

English version Then the elder immediately got up from the bed, sat in the lotus position, with mindfulness focused ahead, and spoke the following verses: 'By accumulating food and clothing, I have extensively helped many people escape difficulties, By giving in the superior fields of merit, I cultivate these five powers. Through these principles and desires, even as a householder, I can obtain these benefits and have already avoided various sufferings. What is heard and learned in the world is to stay away from difficult matters, It is somewhat difficult to generate joy and wisdom, and to follow the path of perfect enlightenment. Offerings to those who uphold the precepts, those who are skilled in practicing the pure life, Those Arhats who have exhausted their defilements, and the Sravaka Munis. Like this, transcending worldly views, in these superior realms, Constantly performing the giving of a noble person, one will ultimately obtain great rewards. Accustomed to performing many acts of giving, giving to those good fields of merit, At the end of this life, one will be reborn in the heavens. The five desires are all fulfilled, the heart is filled with immeasurable joy, Obtaining such wonderful rewards, all because of not being stingy. Wherever one is reborn, one has never not felt joy.' After Elder Citra had spoken these verses, he immediately passed away and was reborn in the Abhāsa heaven. At that time, the deva Citra thought: 'I should not stay here, I should go to Jambudvipa to pay homage to the senior monks.' As quickly as a strong man extends and retracts his arm, he arrived at the Amra grove by his divine power, emitting his heavenly light, illuminating the entire Amra grove. At that time, a certain monk got up at night and went out of his room, walking in the open, and saw the superior light illuminating the grove. He then spoke the following verses: 'Who is it that possesses such wonderful heavenly color, staying in the void, Like a mountain of pure gold, emitting the pure light of Jambudana?'


。」

質多羅天子說偈答言:

「我是天人王,  瞿曇名稱子,  是庵羅林中,  質多羅長者,  以凈戒具足,  繫念自寂靜,  解脫身具足,  智慧身亦然,  我知法故來,  仁者應當知,  當於彼涅槃,  此法法如是。」

質多羅天子說此偈已,即沒不現。

如是我聞:

一時,佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有一天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈白佛:

「不處難陀林,  終不得快樂,  忉利天宮中,  得天帝名稱。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「童蒙汝何知,  阿羅漢所說,  一切行無常,  是則生滅法,  生者既覆滅,  俱寂滅為樂。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現

現代漢語譯本 質多羅天子以偈語回答說: 『我是天人王,名為瞿曇之子,', 『在庵羅林中,我是質多羅長者,', 『以清凈的戒律圓滿,專注于寂靜,', 『解脫了身體的束縛,智慧也同樣圓滿,', 『我因爲了解佛法而來,仁者應當知曉,', 『當於彼處涅槃,此法本應如此。』 質多羅天子說完這偈語后,就消失不見了。 《雜阿含經》卷第二十一 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第二十二 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (五七六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子,容貌極其美好,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子以偈語對佛陀說: 『不在難陀林中,終究無法得到快樂,', 『在忉利天宮中,才能獲得天帝的稱號。』 這時,世尊以偈語回答說: 『你這幼稚的人知道什麼呢,阿羅漢所說的是,', 『一切行都是無常的,這就是生滅的法則,', 『生起之後終將滅去,寂滅才是真正的快樂。』 當時,那位天子又以偈語說道: 『我久已見到婆羅門,證得了涅槃,', 『一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的足部頂禮,隨即消失不見。

English version The celestial being Citra replied with a verse: 'I am the king of the gods, known as the son of Gautama,' 'In the Amra grove, I am the elder Citra,' 'With pure precepts fulfilled, focused on tranquility,' 'Liberated from the body's bonds, wisdom is also complete,' 'I come because I understand the Dharma, the benevolent one should know,' 'One should attain Nirvana there, this is the way of the Dharma.' After the celestial being Citra spoke this verse, he vanished. Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 21 Taisho Tripitaka, Vol. 02, No. 0099, Samyukta Agama Sutra Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 22 Translated by Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India (576) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, a celestial being, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that celestial being spoke a verse to the Buddha: 'Not in the Nanda Grove, can one ultimately find happiness,' 'In the Trayastrimsa Heaven, one can obtain the title of the Heavenly Emperor.' At that time, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'What do you, a naive one, know, what the Arhats speak of,' 'All conditioned things are impermanent, this is the law of arising and ceasing,' 'What arises will eventually cease, tranquility is true happiness.' At that time, that celestial being spoke another verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, attain Nirvana,' 'All fears have passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' At that time, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then vanished.

English version: (577) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, a certain deva, of exceedingly beautiful appearance, came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and withdrew to sit on one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, that deva spoke these verses: 'Having severed all fetters, the Muni has no home, the Shramana clings to teachings, I do not say this is good.' At that time, the World-Honored One replied with these verses: 'All sentient beings are mutually entangled, those with wisdom, who could not feel compassion? The Sugata, out of compassion, constantly teaches sentient beings, to have compassion for sentient beings is in accordance with the Dharma.' Then, that deva spoke these verses again: 'Long ago I saw the Brahmin, having attained Nirvana, all fear has passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' Then, that deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, and then vanished from sight.

Then, that deva spoke these verses: 'One who constantly cultivates a sense of shame, such a person exists from time to time, able to stay away from all evil deeds, like a good horse guided by the whip.' At that time, the World-Honored One replied with these verses: 'One who constantly cultivates a sense of shame, such a person is truly rare, able to stay away from all evil deeds, like a good horse guided by the whip.'

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖悉過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(五七九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「不習近正法,  樂著諸邪見,  睡眠不自覺,  長劫心能悟。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「專修于正法,  遠離不善業,  是漏盡羅漢,  險惡世平等。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖悉過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

如是我聞:

一時,佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子而說偈言:

「以法善調伏,  不隨於諸見,  雖復著睡眠,  則能隨時悟

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位天子又說了偈語: 『我長久以來見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,一切恐懼都已消除,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀頂禮,隨即消失不見。

(五七九)

我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位容貌絕美的天子,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子說了偈語問佛: 『不學習親近正法,喜歡執著各種邪見,沉睡而不自覺醒悟,要經過多久才能覺悟?』 這時,世尊說了偈語回答: 『專心修習正法,遠離不善的行為,這樣漏盡的羅漢,能平等對待險惡的世界。』 當時,那位天子又說了偈語: 『我長久以來見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,一切恐懼都已消除,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀頂禮,隨即消失不見。

English version Then, that Deva spoke in verse again: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, all fears have been overcome, and he has forever transcended worldly love.' Then, that Deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared.

(579)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, a Deva of extraordinary beauty came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, that Deva spoke in verse, asking the Buddha: 'Not learning to approach the Right Dharma, delighting in clinging to various wrong views, sleeping without awakening, how long will it take for the mind to awaken?' At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse, answering: 'Diligently cultivating the Right Dharma, staying away from unwholesome actions, such an Arhat who has exhausted all outflows, can treat the dangerous world with equanimity.' Then, that Deva spoke in verse again: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, all fears have been overcome, and he has forever transcended worldly love.' Then, that Deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared.

。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「若以法調伏,  不隨余異見,  無知已究竟,  能度世恩愛。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

一時,佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「若羅漢比丘,  自所作已作,  一切諸漏盡,  持此後邊身,  記說言有我,  及說我所不?」

爾時,世尊即說偈答:

「若羅漢比丘,  自所作已作,  一切諸漏盡,  持此後邊身,  正復說有我,  我所亦無咎。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「若羅漢比丘,  自所作已作,  一切漏已盡,  持此最後身,  心依於我慢,  而說言有我,  及說於我所,  有如是說不。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「已離於我慢,  無復我慢心,  超越我我所,  我說為漏盡。  于彼我我所,  心已永不著,  善解世名字,  平等假名說

現代漢語譯本 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『如果以佛法調伏,不隨從其他不同的見解,對於無知已經徹底瞭解,就能度脫世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子又說偈語道: 『長久以來見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,一切的恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨順,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。

(五八一)

我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,身上發出的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子用偈語問佛: 『如果羅漢比丘,自己所應做的已經做完,一切的煩惱都已斷盡,保持著這最後的身體, 記說有『我』,以及說『我所』嗎?』 那時,世尊就用偈語回答: 『如果羅漢比丘,自己所應做的已經做完,一切的煩惱都已斷盡,保持著這最後的身體, 即使說有『我』,說『我所』也沒有過失。』 當時,那位天子又說偈語道: 『如果羅漢比丘,自己所應做的已經做完,一切的煩惱都已斷盡,保持著這最後的身體, 心中依附於我慢,而說有『我』,以及說『我所』,有這樣的說法嗎?』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『已經脫離了我慢,不再有我慢之心,超越了『我』和『我所』,我說這是煩惱斷盡。 對於『我』和『我所』,心中已經永遠不再執著,善於理解世俗的名稱,平等地用假名來說。』

English version Then, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'If one is tamed by the Dharma, not following other different views, having completely understood ignorance, one can cross over the world's attachments.' At that time, that Deva spoke another verse: 'Having long seen the Brahmin, having attained Nirvana, all fears have passed, forever transcending the world's attachments.' At that time, that Deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared.

(581)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.

At that time, that Deva asked the Buddha in a verse: 'If an Arhat Bhikkhu, having done what should be done, having exhausted all defilements, holding this last body, Does he record and say 'I am,' and say 'what is mine'?' Then, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'If an Arhat Bhikkhu, having done what should be done, having exhausted all defilements, holding this last body, Even if he says 'I am,' there is no fault in saying 'what is mine.'' At that time, that Deva spoke another verse: 'If an Arhat Bhikkhu, having done what should be done, having exhausted all defilements, holding this last body, With his mind clinging to conceit, and saying 'I am,' and saying 'what is mine,' is there such a saying?' Then, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'Having abandoned conceit, no longer having a conceited mind, having transcended 'I' and 'mine,' I say this is the exhaustion of defilements. Regarding 'I' and 'mine,' the mind no longer clings, understanding well the worldly names, speaking equally with conventional terms.'

「若羅漢比丘,  漏盡持後身,  頗說言有我,  及說我所不?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「若羅漢比丘,  漏盡持後身,  亦說言有我,  及說有我所。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「若羅漢比丘,  自所作已作,  已盡諸有漏,  唯持最後身,  何言說有我,  說何是我所。」

(五八三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,羅睺羅阿修羅王障月天子

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位天子又說了偈語: 『我久已見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。 (五八二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子說了偈語請問佛陀: 『如果羅漢比丘,已經漏盡煩惱,持有最後之身,是否還會說有『我』,以及說『我所』呢?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『如果羅漢比丘,已經漏盡煩惱,持有最後之身,也會說有『我』,以及說有『我所』。』 當時,那位天子又說了偈語: 『如果羅漢比丘,自己所應作的已經完成,已經斷盡一切煩惱,唯有最後之身,為何還說有『我』,說什麼是我所擁有的呢?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『如果羅漢比丘,自己所應作的已經完成,一切煩惱都已斷盡,唯有最後之身,說『我』的煩惱已經斷盡,也不執著于『我所』,善於理解世俗的名稱,平等地用假名來說。』 當時,那位天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。 (五八三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,羅睺羅阿修羅王遮蔽了月亮天子。

English version Then, that celestial being spoke in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, all fear has passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love.' Then, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared. (582) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, a celestial being of extraordinary beauty came to the Buddha in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, that celestial being spoke in verse to the Buddha: 'If an Arhat monk, having exhausted all outflows, holds his last body, does he still speak of 'I' and 'mine'?' At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'If an Arhat monk, having exhausted all outflows, holds his last body, he also speaks of 'I' and 'mine'.' Then, that celestial being spoke in verse again: 'If an Arhat monk, having done what was to be done, having exhausted all outflows, holds only his last body, why does he still speak of 'I', and what does he mean by 'mine'?' At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'If an Arhat monk, having done what was to be done, having exhausted all outflows, holds only his last body, he says 'my outflows are exhausted,' and he is not attached to 'mine,' he understands worldly names, and speaks using conventional terms equally.' Then, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared. (583) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, Rahula, the Asura king, obscured the moon celestial being.


。時,諸月天子悉皆恐怖,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面。說偈嘆佛:

「今禮最勝覺,  能脫一切障,  我今遭苦惱,  是故來歸依。  我等月天子,  歸依于善逝,  佛哀愍世間,  愿解阿修羅。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「破壞諸闇冥,  光明照虛空,  今毗盧遮那,  清凈光明顯。  羅睺避虛空,  速放飛兔像,  羅睺阿修羅,  即舍月而還。  舉體悉流污,  戰怖不自安,  神昏志迷亂,  猶如重病人。」

時,有阿修羅名曰婆稚,見羅睺羅阿修羅疾舍月還,便說偈言:

「羅睺阿修羅,  舍月一何速,  神體悉流污,  猶如重病人。」

羅睺阿修羅說偈答言:

「瞿曇說咒偈,  不速舍月者,  或頭破七分,  受諸鄰死苦。」

婆稚阿修羅復說偈言:

「佛興未曾有,  安隱於世間,  說咒偈能令,  羅睺羅舍月。」

佛說此經已,時月天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(五八四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有一天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:當時,各個月亮天子都感到恐懼,來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退到一旁站立。他們用偈語讚歎佛陀: 『現在禮拜最殊勝的覺者,您能解除一切障礙,我如今遭遇苦惱,所以前來歸依。我們這些月亮天子,歸依于善逝,佛陀您慈悲憐憫世間,希望您能解救我們脫離阿修羅的困擾。』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『您能破除一切黑暗,光明照耀虛空,現在毗盧遮那佛,清凈的光明顯現。羅睺趕快離開虛空,迅速放開月亮的形象,羅睺阿修羅,立即放棄月亮返回。他全身都流著污穢,戰慄恐懼,不能自安,精神昏沉,意志迷亂,就像一個重病的人。』 當時,有一個名叫婆稚的阿修羅,看到羅睺阿修羅迅速放棄月亮返回,便用偈語說道: 『羅睺阿修羅,放棄月亮為何如此迅速,神體全身都流著污穢,就像一個重病的人。』 羅睺阿修羅用偈語回答說: 『瞿曇說了咒語偈頌,如果不迅速放棄月亮,恐怕頭會破裂成七份,遭受臨近死亡的痛苦。』 婆稚阿修羅又用偈語說道: 『佛陀的出現是前所未有的,給世間帶來安寧,他所說的咒語偈頌,能讓羅睺放棄月亮。』 佛陀說完這部經后,當時月亮天子們聽到佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮后離去。 (五八四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退到一旁坐下。他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: At that time, all the lunar deities were terrified and came to the Buddha's place, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then retreated to stand aside. They praised the Buddha with verses: 'Now we pay homage to the most supreme Awakened One, who can remove all obstacles. I am now suffering, therefore I come to take refuge. We, the lunar deities, take refuge in the Well-Gone One. Buddha, you have compassion for the world, we hope you can release us from the troubles of the Asuras.' Then, the World Honored One replied with verses: 'You can break through all darkness, and your light illuminates the void. Now, Vairochana Buddha, your pure light is manifest. Rahu, quickly leave the void, and quickly release the image of the moon. Rahu Asura, immediately abandon the moon and return. His whole body is covered in filth, trembling with fear, unable to find peace, his spirit is confused, his will is disordered, like a seriously ill person.' At that time, there was an Asura named Vachi, who saw Rahu Asura quickly abandoning the moon and returning, and said in verses: 'Rahu Asura, why did you abandon the moon so quickly? Your divine body is covered in filth, like a seriously ill person.' Rahu Asura replied in verses: 'Gautama spoke a mantra verse, if I did not quickly abandon the moon, my head would be broken into seven pieces, and I would suffer the pain of approaching death.' Vachi Asura again said in verses: 'The appearance of the Buddha is unprecedented, bringing peace to the world. The mantra verses he speaks can make Rahu abandon the moon.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the lunar deities at that time heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid their respects and departed. (584) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, there was a deity, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then retreated to sit aside. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park.


時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「為有族本不?  有轉生族耶?  有俱相屬無,  云何解于縛?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「我無有族本,  亦無轉生族,  俱相屬永斷,  解脫一切縛。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「何名為族本,  云何轉生族,  云何俱相續,  何名為堅縛?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「母為世族本,  妻名轉生族,  子俱是相屬,  愛慾為堅縛,  我無此族本,  亦無轉生族,  俱相屬亦無,  是名脫堅縛。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「善哉無族本,  無生族亦善,  善哉無相屬,  善哉縛解脫。  久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怨悉過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(五八五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住釋氏優羅提那塔所。

爾時,世尊新剃鬚發,於後夜時結加趺坐,直身正意,繫念在前,以衣覆頭

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀請教: 『是否有家族的根本?是否有轉生的家族? 是否有相互關聯的束縛,如何才能解脫這些束縛?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『我沒有家族的根本,也沒有轉生的家族, 相互關聯的束縛已被永遠斷除,我已解脫一切束縛。』 當時,那位天子又用偈語說: 『什麼叫做家族的根本?什麼叫做轉生的家族? 什麼叫做相互關聯的延續?什麼叫做堅固的束縛?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『母親是世俗家族的根本,妻子是轉生家族的象徵, 子女是相互關聯的延續,愛慾是堅固的束縛。 我沒有這樣的家族根本,也沒有轉生的家族, 相互關聯的束縛也沒有,這就是解脫堅固束縛的含義。』 當時,那位天子又用偈語說: 『沒有家族的根本真好,沒有轉生的家族也很好, 沒有相互關聯的束縛真好,解脫束縛真好。 我很久才見到婆羅門,他已證得涅槃, 超越了一切怨恨,永遠超脫了世俗的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。 (五八五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在釋迦族的優羅提那塔附近。 當時,世尊剛剃完鬚髮,在後半夜結跏趺坐,身體端正,心意專注,將意念集中在前方,用衣服蓋住頭部。

English version Then, that celestial being spoke in verse, asking the Buddha: 'Is there a root of family? Is there a family of rebirth? Are there mutual attachments, and how to be freed from these bonds?' At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'I have no root of family, nor a family of rebirth, Mutual attachments are forever severed, I am freed from all bonds.' Then, that celestial being spoke again in verse: 'What is called the root of family? What is called the family of rebirth? What is called mutual continuity? What is called a firm bond?' At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'The mother is the root of the worldly family, the wife is the symbol of the family of rebirth, Children are the continuation of mutual attachments, desire is the firm bond. I have no such root of family, nor a family of rebirth, Mutual attachments are also absent, this is the meaning of being freed from firm bonds.' Then, that celestial being spoke again in verse: 'It is good to have no root of family, it is also good to have no family of rebirth, It is good to have no mutual attachments, it is good to be freed from bonds. I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, Surpassing all resentment, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' Then, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (585) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling near the Uro-dhana Stupa of the Sakyas. At that time, the World-Honored One, having just shaved his beard and hair, in the latter part of the night, sat cross-legged, with his body upright, his mind focused, concentrating his thoughts ahead, and covered his head with his robe.


時,優羅提那塔邊有天神住,放身光明,遍照精舍,白佛言:「沙門憂耶?」佛告天神:「何所忘失?」

天神復問:「沙門為歡喜耶?」

佛告天神:「為何所得?」

天神復問:「沙門不憂不喜耶?」

佛告天神:「如是,如是。」

爾時,天神即說偈言:

「為離諸煩惱,  為無有歡喜,  云何獨一住?  非不樂所壞。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「我無惱解脫,  亦無有歡喜,  不樂不能壞,  故獨一而住。」

時,彼天神復說偈言:

「云何得無惱?  云何無歡喜?  云何獨一住?  非不樂所壞。」

爾時世尊說偈答言:

「煩惱生歡喜,  喜亦生煩惱,  無惱亦無喜,  天神當護持。」

時,彼天神復說偈言:

「善哉無煩惱,  善哉無歡喜,  善哉獨一住,  不為不喜壞。  久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天神聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(五八六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 當時,在優羅提那塔附近住著一位天神,他身上散發著光明,照亮了整個精舍,並對佛陀說:『沙門,你是在憂愁嗎?』佛陀告訴天神:『我沒有什麼遺失。』 天神又問:『沙門,你是在歡喜嗎?』 佛陀告訴天神:『我沒有什麼所得。』 天神又問:『沙門,你既不憂愁也不歡喜嗎?』 佛陀告訴天神:『是的,是的。』 這時,天神就說了偈語: 『爲了遠離各種煩惱,爲了沒有歡喜, 為何獨自一人居住?不被不樂所摧毀。』 這時,世尊說了偈語回答: 『我沒有煩惱的束縛,也沒有歡喜, 不樂也不能摧毀我,所以我獨自一人居住。』 這時,那位天神又說了偈語: 『如何才能沒有煩惱?如何才能沒有歡喜? 如何才能獨自一人居住?不被不樂所摧毀。』 這時,世尊說了偈語回答: 『煩惱產生歡喜,歡喜也產生煩惱, 沒有煩惱也沒有歡喜,天神應當守護。』 這時,那位天神又說了偈語: 『善哉,沒有煩惱!善哉,沒有歡喜! 善哉,獨自一人居住,不被不喜所摧毀。 我很久才見到婆羅門,他已證得涅槃, 一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越世俗的恩愛。』 這時,那位天神聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳稽首,隨即消失不見。 (五八六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version At that time, there was a celestial being dwelling near the Urotinatha tower, emitting light that illuminated the entire monastery. He said to the Buddha, 'Shramana, are you in sorrow?' The Buddha told the celestial being, 'I have lost nothing.' The celestial being asked again, 'Shramana, are you in joy?' The Buddha told the celestial being, 'I have gained nothing.' The celestial being asked again, 'Shramana, are you neither in sorrow nor in joy?' The Buddha told the celestial being, 'Yes, yes.' Then, the celestial being spoke a verse: 'To be free from all afflictions, to have no joy, Why dwell alone? Not to be destroyed by displeasure.' Then, the World Honored One spoke a verse in reply: 'I have no bondage of affliction, nor do I have joy, Displeasure cannot destroy me, therefore I dwell alone.' Then, that celestial being spoke another verse: 'How can one be without affliction? How can one be without joy? How can one dwell alone? Not to be destroyed by displeasure.' Then, the World Honored One spoke a verse in reply: 'Affliction gives rise to joy, and joy also gives rise to affliction, Without affliction and without joy, celestial being, you should protect this.' Then, that celestial being spoke another verse: 'Good indeed, without affliction! Good indeed, without joy! Good indeed, dwelling alone, not to be destroyed by displeasure. I have seen the Brahmin after a long time, he has attained Nirvana, All fear has passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' Then, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (586) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


時,有一天子,容色妙絕,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子而說偈言:

「猶如利劍害,  亦如頭火燃,  斷除貪慾火,  正念求遠離。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「譬如利劍害,  亦如頭火燃,  斷除於後身,  正念求遠離。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(五八七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有一天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子而說偈言:

「天女眾圍繞,  如毗舍脂眾,  癡惑叢林中,  何由而得出?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「正直平等道,  離恐怖之方,  乘寂默之車,  法想為密覆,  慚愧為長縻,  正念為羈絡,  智慧善御士,  正見為前導,  如是之妙乘,  男女之所乘,  出生死叢林,  逮得安樂處

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一天子,容貌極其美妙,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首,身上發出的光明遍照了祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子說了偈語:『如同利劍的傷害,也像頭頂燃起的火焰,斷除貪慾,以正念尋求遠離。』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說:『譬如利劍的傷害,也像頭頂燃起的火焰,斷除後世的牽絆,以正念尋求遠離。』 當時,那位天子又說了偈語:『長久以來見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,向佛陀的腳稽首,隨即消失不見。 (五八七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一天子,容貌極其美妙,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首,身上發出的光明遍照了祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子說了偈語:『天女們圍繞著我,如同毗舍遮的鬼眾,在癡迷的叢林中,如何才能脫身而出?』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說:『正直平等的道路,是遠離恐怖的方法,乘坐寂靜的車子,以法想作為嚴密的遮蓋,以慚愧作為長長的韁繩,以正念作為籠頭,以智慧作為優秀的御者,以正見作為前導,這樣美妙的乘具,是男女都可以乘坐的,可以從生死叢林中脫身,到達安樂的境地。』

English version: At that time, there was a celestial being, whose appearance was exquisitely beautiful, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the Jetavana Anathapindika Garden. At that time, that celestial being spoke a verse: 'Like the harm of a sharp sword, also like a fire burning on the head, cut off greed, with right mindfulness seek to be far away.' Then, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'Like the harm of a sharp sword, also like a fire burning on the head, cut off the bonds of the future body, with right mindfulness seek to be far away.' At that time, that celestial being spoke another verse: 'Having long seen the Brahmin, having attained Nirvana, all fear has passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' At that time, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (587) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jetavana Anathapindika Garden in Shravasti. At that time, there was a celestial being, whose appearance was exquisitely beautiful, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the Jetavana Anathapindika Garden. At that time, that celestial being spoke a verse: 'Surrounded by celestial maidens, like a crowd of Pisacas, in the forest of delusion, how can one escape?' Then, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'The path of uprightness and equality, is the way to be free from fear, riding in the chariot of silence, with the thought of Dharma as a tight covering, with shame as the long reins, with right mindfulness as the bridle, with wisdom as the excellent charioteer, with right view as the guide, such a wonderful vehicle, can be ridden by both men and women, can escape from the forest of birth and death, and reach the place of peace and joy.'

時,彼天子復說偈言:

English version Then, that celestial being spoke in verse again: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fear has passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' Then, that celestial being, hearing what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared.

(588)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.

Then, a celestial being, with an exquisite appearance, came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.

Then, that celestial being spoke in verse, asking the Buddha: 'There are four revolving nine gates, filled with the dwelling of desire, Deeply immersed in the mud, how does the elephant get out?'

At that time, the World-Honored One spoke in verse, answering: 'Cut off the bonds of love and joy, and all evils such as desire, Uproot the root of desire, and then rightly go to that shore.'

Then, that celestial being spoke in verse again: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fear has passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.'

Then, that celestial being, hearing what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared.

Then, a celestial being, with an exquisite appearance, came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.


時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「賴吒槃提國,  有諸商賈客,  大富足財寶,  各各競求富,  方便欲財利,  猶如然熾火,  如是競勝心,  欲貪常馳騁,  云何當斷貪,  息世間勤求?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「舍俗出非家,  妻子及財寶,  貪恚癡離欲,  羅漢盡諸漏,  正智心解脫,  愛盡息方便。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

(五九〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,拘薩羅國有諸商人,五百乘車,共行治生,至曠野中。曠野有五百群賊在後隨逐,伺便欲作劫盜。時,曠野中有一天神,止住路側。

「時,彼天神作是念:『當往詣彼拘薩羅國諸商人所,問其義理。若彼商人喜我所問,時解說者,我當方便令其安隱,得脫賊難;若不喜我所問者,當放舍之,如余天神。』

「時,彼天神作是念已,即放身光,遍照商人車營,而說偈言:

「『誰于覺睡眠,  誰復睡眠覺,   誰有解此義,  誰能為我說

現代漢語譯本:當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀請教: 『賴吒槃提國,有一些商人和旅客,他們非常富有,各自都在競相追求財富,爲了獲得利益不擇手段,就像燃燒的火焰一樣。他們如此爭強好勝,貪慾之心無休止地馳騁。如何才能斷除貪慾,停止世間的辛勤追求呢?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『捨棄世俗,離開家庭,包括妻子和財富,遠離貪婪、嗔恨和愚癡,羅漢已經斷盡了一切煩惱,以正智之心獲得解脫,愛慾斷盡,一切追求也隨之停止。』 當時,那位天子又說偈語道: 『我很久以前就見到婆羅門,他們已經證得涅槃,超越了一切恐懼,永遠超脫了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。 (五九〇) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去世時,拘薩羅國有一些商人,他們用五百輛車一起做生意,來到曠野中。曠野里有五百群盜在後面跟隨,伺機想要搶劫。當時,曠野中有一位天神,停留在路邊。 『當時,那位天神這樣想:『我應當去拜訪那些拘薩羅國的商人,詢問他們一些道理。如果那些商人喜歡我所問的,並且能夠解答,我就想辦法讓他們平安無事,脫離盜賊的災難;如果他們不喜歡我所問的,我就放棄他們,像其他天神一樣。』 『當時,那位天神這樣想完,就放出光明,照亮了商人的車隊營地,並用偈語說道: 『誰在覺醒中睡眠,誰又在睡眠中覺醒?誰能理解這個道理,誰能為我解說?』

English version: At that time, that celestial being asked the Buddha in verse: 'In the country of Raṣṭrapāṇḍi, there are merchants and travelers, very wealthy, each vying for riches, using any means for profit, like a blazing fire. They are so competitive, their greed constantly running wild. How can one cut off greed and cease the worldly pursuit?' Then, the World Honored One answered in verse: 'Leaving the secular, leaving home, including wife and wealth, away from greed, hatred, and delusion, the Arhat has exhausted all defilements, with right wisdom attaining liberation, desire is exhausted, and all pursuits cease.' At that time, that celestial being again spoke in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmins, they have attained Nirvana, transcending all fears, forever free from worldly love and affection.' At that time, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (590) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'In the past, in the country of Kosala, there were some merchants, who traveled together with five hundred carts to do business, arriving in a wilderness. In the wilderness, there were five hundred groups of thieves following behind, waiting for an opportunity to rob. At that time, there was a celestial being in the wilderness, staying by the roadside.' 'At that time, that celestial being thought: 『I should go visit those merchants of Kosala and ask them some questions. If those merchants like what I ask and can answer, I will find a way to keep them safe and free from the disaster of the thieves; if they do not like what I ask, I will abandon them, like other celestial beings.』 'At that time, that celestial being, having thought this, emitted light, illuminating the merchants' camp, and spoke in verse: 'Who sleeps while awake, and who awakens while asleep? Who can understand this meaning, who can explain it to me?'


。』

「爾時,商人中有一優婆塞信佛、信法、信比丘僧,一心向佛、法、僧,歸依佛、法、僧,于佛離疑,於法、僧離疑,于苦、集、滅、道離疑,見四聖諦得第一無間等果,在商人中與諸商人共為行侶。彼優婆塞於後夜時端坐思惟,繫念在前,於十二因緣逆順觀察,所謂是事有故是事有,是事起故是事起。謂緣無明行,緣行識,緣識名色,緣名色六入處,緣六入處觸,緣觸受,緣受愛,緣愛取,緣取有,緣有生,緣生老、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如是純大苦聚集;如是無明滅則行滅,行滅則識滅,識滅則名色滅,名色滅則六入處滅,六入處滅則觸滅,觸滅則受滅,受滅則愛滅,愛滅則取滅,取滅則有滅,有滅則生滅,生滅則老、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,如是如是純大苦聚滅。

「時,彼優婆塞如是思惟已,而說偈言:

「『我于覺睡眠,  我于睡眠覺,   我解知此義,  能為人記說

現代漢語譯本 當時,商人們中有一位優婆塞,他信奉佛、法、僧三寶,一心向往佛、法、僧,皈依佛、法、僧。他對佛不再有疑惑,對法和僧也不再有疑惑,對苦、集、滅、道四聖諦不再有疑惑,並且通過領悟四聖諦獲得了初果的無間等果位。這位優婆塞在商隊中與其他商人一同為伴。在後半夜時,他端坐思惟,將心念集中在眼前,對十二因緣進行逆向和順向的觀察。他思索道:『因為有了這個,所以才有了那個;因為這個生起,所以那個也生起。』也就是說,以無明為緣而有行,以行為緣而有識,以識為緣而有名色,以名色為緣而有六入處,以六入處為緣而有觸,以觸為緣而有受,以受為緣而有愛,以愛為緣而有取,以取為緣而有有,以有為緣而有生,以生為緣而有老、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。這樣就形成了純粹的大苦聚集;反之,如果無明滅盡,則行滅盡;行滅盡,則識滅盡;識滅盡,則名色滅盡;名色滅盡,則六入處滅盡;六入處滅盡,則觸滅盡;觸滅盡,則受滅盡;受滅盡,則愛滅盡;愛滅盡,則取滅盡;取滅盡,則有滅盡;有滅盡,則生滅盡;生滅盡,則老、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅盡。這樣,純粹的大苦聚集就滅盡了。 當時,這位優婆塞如此思惟之後,便說了偈語: 『我從覺悟中入睡,我從睡夢中覺醒,我理解並知曉這個道理,能夠為他人講述。』

English version At that time, among the merchants, there was a lay disciple (Upasaka) who had faith in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. He was wholeheartedly devoted to the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, taking refuge in them. He had no doubts about the Buddha, no doubts about the Dharma and the Sangha, and no doubts about the Four Noble Truths of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path to its cessation. He had attained the first stage of enlightenment, the 'first fruit' without interruption, through understanding the Four Noble Truths. This lay disciple traveled with the other merchants as companions. In the late hours of the night, he sat in meditation, focusing his mind, and contemplated the twelve links of dependent origination, both in forward and reverse order. He thought, 'Because this exists, that exists; because this arises, that arises.' That is, conditioned by ignorance, there are volitional formations; conditioned by volitional formations, there is consciousness; conditioned by consciousness, there are mind and body; conditioned by mind and body, there are the six sense bases; conditioned by the six sense bases, there is contact; conditioned by contact, there is feeling; conditioned by feeling, there is craving; conditioned by craving, there is clinging; conditioned by clinging, there is becoming; conditioned by becoming, there is birth; conditioned by birth, there are old age, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair. Thus arises this whole mass of suffering. Conversely, with the cessation of ignorance, volitional formations cease; with the cessation of volitional formations, consciousness ceases; with the cessation of consciousness, mind and body cease; with the cessation of mind and body, the six sense bases cease; with the cessation of the six sense bases, contact ceases; with the cessation of contact, feeling ceases; with the cessation of feeling, craving ceases; with the cessation of craving, clinging ceases; with the cessation of clinging, becoming ceases; with the cessation of becoming, birth ceases; with the cessation of birth, old age, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair cease. Thus, this whole mass of suffering ceases. Having contemplated in this way, the lay disciple then spoke these verses: 'I awaken from sleep into awareness, I awaken from awareness into sleep, I understand and know this meaning, and can explain it to others.'


。』

「時,彼天神問優婆塞:『云何覺睡眠?云何睡眠覺?云何能解知?云何能記說?』

「時,優婆塞說偈答言:

「『貪慾及瞋恚,  愚癡得離欲,   漏盡阿羅漢,  正智心解脫,   彼則為覺悟,  我于彼睡眠,   不知因生苦,  及苦因緣集,   於此一切苦,  得無餘滅盡,   又不知正道,  等趣息苦處,   斯等為常眠,  我于彼則覺,   如是覺睡眠,  如是睡眠覺,   如是善知義,  如是能記說。』

「時,彼天神復說偈言:

「『善哉覺睡眠,  善哉眠中覺,   善哉解知義,  善哉能記說,   久遠乃今見,  諸兄弟而來,   緣汝恩力故,  令諸商人眾,   得免於劫賊,  隨道安樂去。』

「如是,諸比丘!彼拘薩羅澤中諸商人眾皆得安隱從曠野出。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(五九一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,海洲上優婆塞至他優婆塞舍會坐,極毀呰欲,言:『此欲者,虛妄不實,欺誑之法,猶如幻化,誑于嬰兒。』還自己舍,恣於五欲,是優婆塞舍有天神止住

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位天神問優婆塞:『如何覺知睡眠?如何從睡眠中覺醒?如何能夠理解?如何能夠記述?』 當時,優婆塞用偈語回答說: 『貪慾和嗔恚,愚癡得以遠離, 煩惱已盡的阿羅漢,以正智獲得心靈解脫, 他們是覺悟的,我卻處於睡眠之中, 不知痛苦的產生,以及痛苦的因緣集聚, 對於這一切痛苦,能夠完全滅盡, 又不知曉通往止息痛苦的正確道路, 這些是常眠的狀態,而我從中覺醒, 如此覺知睡眠,如此從睡眠中覺醒, 如此善於理解其義,如此能夠記述。』 當時,那位天神又說偈語: 『善哉覺知睡眠,善哉從睡眠中覺醒, 善哉理解其義,善哉能夠記述, 久遠以來今日得見,諸位兄弟前來, 因你的恩德之力,使得商人們, 得以免於盜賊,平安地沿著道路離去。』 諸位比丘!就像這樣,拘薩羅澤中的商人們都得以平安地從曠野中出來。 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (五九一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『過去世時,海島上的優婆塞到另一位優婆塞的住所聚會,極力詆譭慾望,說:『這慾望,虛妄不實,是欺騙之法,猶如幻化,欺騙嬰兒。』回到自己家中,卻放縱於五欲之中,這位優婆塞的住所里有天神居住。

English version Then, that deity asked the Upasaka: 'How does one perceive sleep? How does one awaken from sleep? How can one understand? How can one recount?' Then, the Upasaka replied in verse: 'Greed and hatred, and ignorance are abandoned, The Arhat whose outflows are exhausted, with right wisdom, has a mind liberated, They are awakened, while I am in sleep, Not knowing the arising of suffering, and the accumulation of the causes of suffering, Regarding all this suffering, to be completely extinguished without remainder, And not knowing the right path, that leads to the cessation of suffering, These are the states of constant sleep, from which I awaken, Thus is the perception of sleep, thus is the awakening from sleep, Thus is the good understanding of its meaning, thus is the ability to recount.' Then, that deity spoke in verse again: 'Well done is the perception of sleep, well done is the awakening from sleep, Well done is the understanding of its meaning, well done is the ability to recount, After a long time, today we see, brothers coming, Because of your grace and power, the merchants, Are able to escape from robbers, and go safely along the road.' Thus, O Bhikkhus! The merchants in the Kosala wilderness all came out of the wilderness safely. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (591) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the Blessed One told the Bhikkhus: 'In the past, an Upasaka from an island went to the dwelling of another Upasaka for a gathering, and greatly disparaged desire, saying: 'This desire is false and unreal, a deceptive thing, like an illusion, deceiving infants.' Returning to his own home, he indulged in the five desires, and in the dwelling of this Upasaka, there was a deity residing.


。時,彼天神作是念:『是優婆塞不勝不類,于余優婆塞舍會坐眾中極毀呰欲,言:「如是欲者,虛偽不實,欺誑之法,如誑嬰兒。」還己舍已,自恣五欲,我今寧可發令覺悟。』而說偈言:

「『于大聚會中,  毀呰欲無常,   自沒于愛慾,  如牛溺深泥。   我觀彼會中,  諸優婆塞等,   多聞明解法,  奉持于凈戒。   汝見彼樂法,  而說欲無常,   如何自恣欲,  不斷于貪愛,   何故樂世間,  畜妻子眷屬。』

「時,彼天神如是如是開覺彼優婆塞已。如是如是彼優婆塞覺悟已,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道,精勤修習,盡諸有漏,得阿羅漢。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(五九二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城寒林中丘冢間。

時,給孤獨長者有小因緣至王舍城,止宿長者舍。夜見長者告其妻子、僕使、作人言:「汝等皆起,破樵然火,炊飯作䴵調和眾味,莊嚴堂舍

現代漢語譯本:當時,那位天神這樣想:『這個優婆塞言行不一,在其他優婆塞的集會中極力詆譭慾望,說:「像這樣的慾望,虛偽不實,是欺騙的法,如同欺騙嬰兒。」他卻回到自己的住所,放縱於五欲之中。我應該讓他覺悟。』於是說了偈語: 『在大眾集會中,詆譭慾望無常,自己卻沉溺於愛慾,如同牛陷入深泥。我看到那集會中,各位優婆塞等,多聞且明解佛法,奉持清凈的戒律。你看到他們樂於佛法,卻說慾望無常,為何自己放縱慾望,不斷除貪愛,為何貪戀世間,養育妻子眷屬。』 當時,那位天神這樣這樣地開導那位優婆塞。那位優婆塞這樣這樣地覺悟后,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信捨棄家庭,出家學道,精勤修行,斷盡一切煩惱,證得阿羅漢果。 佛說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (五九二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城寒林中的墳墓之間。 當時,給孤獨長者因為一些小事來到王舍城,住在一位長者的家中。夜裡,他看見那位長者告訴他的妻子、僕人、傭人說:『你們都起來,劈柴生火,煮飯做餅,調和各種味道,裝飾廳堂。』

English version: Then, that deity thought: 『This lay disciple is inconsistent. In the assembly of other lay disciples, he vehemently denounces desires, saying, 「Such desires are false and unreal, deceptive practices, like deceiving a baby.」 Yet, he returns to his own dwelling and indulges in the five desires. I should awaken him.』 So, he spoke in verse: 『In the great assembly, denouncing the impermanence of desires, yet himself immersed in lust, like an ox sinking in deep mud. I see in that assembly, the various lay disciples, learned and understanding the Dharma, upholding pure precepts. You see them delighting in the Dharma, yet you speak of the impermanence of desires. Why do you indulge in desires, not cutting off greed and love? Why are you attached to the world, raising a wife and family?』 Then, that deity thus and thus enlightened that lay disciple. That lay disciple, having thus and thus awakened, shaved his head and beard, donned the monastic robe, with right faith left his home, became a monk, diligently practiced, exhausted all defilements, and attained Arhatship. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (592) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the charnel ground among the tombs in the Cold Forest of Rajagriha. At that time, the elder Anathapindika, having some small business in Rajagriha, stayed at the house of an elder. At night, he saw that elder telling his wife, servants, and workers: 『You all get up, chop wood and make a fire, cook rice and make cakes, mix various flavors, and decorate the hall.』


。」

給孤獨長者見已,作是念:「今此長者何所為作,為嫁女娶婦耶?為請賓客、國王、大臣耶?」念已,即問長者:「汝何所作?為嫁女娶婦?為請賓客、國王、大臣耶?」

時,彼長者答給孤獨長者言:「我不嫁女娶婦,亦不請呼國王、大臣,唯欲請佛及比丘僧,設供養耳。」

時,給孤獨長者聞未曾聞佛名字已,心大歡喜,身諸毛孔皆悉怡悅,問彼長者言:「何名為佛?」

長者答言:「有沙門瞿曇,是釋種子,于釋種中剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道,得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,是名為佛。」

給孤獨長者言:「云何名僧?」

彼長者言:「若婆羅門種剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,信家非家,而隨佛出家;或剎利種、毗舍種、首陀羅種善男子等剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,彼佛出家而隨出家,是名為僧。今日請佛及現前僧,設諸供養。」

給孤獨長者問彼長者言:「我今可得往見世尊不?」

彼長者答言:「汝且住此,我請世尊來至我舍,於此得見。」

時,給孤獨長者即于其夜至心念佛,因得睡眠

給孤獨長者看到后,心想:『這位長者在做什麼呢?是嫁女兒娶媳婦嗎?還是邀請賓客、國王、大臣呢?』 想到這裡,就問那位長者:『您在做什麼?是嫁女兒娶媳婦?還是邀請賓客、國王、大臣呢?』 當時,那位長者回答給孤獨長者說:『我不是嫁女兒娶媳婦,也不是邀請國王、大臣,只是想邀請佛陀和比丘僧,設宴供養。』 當時,給孤獨長者聽到從未聽過的佛陀的名字后,心中非常歡喜,全身的毛孔都感到愉悅,就問那位長者說:『什麼是佛?』 那位長者回答說:『有一位沙門名叫瞿曇,是釋迦族的後裔,在釋迦族中剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信離開家庭,出家修道,證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,這就是佛。』 給孤獨長者說:『什麼是僧?』 那位長者說:『如果婆羅門種姓的人剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以信心離開家庭,跟隨佛陀出家;或者剎帝利種姓、吠舍種姓、首陀羅種姓的善男子等剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信離開家庭,跟隨佛陀出家,這些人就稱為僧。今天我邀請佛陀和現前的僧眾,設宴供養。』 給孤獨長者問那位長者說:『我現在可以去拜見世尊嗎?』 那位長者回答說:『您先在這裡住下,我請世尊到我家來,您在這裡就可以見到他。』 當時,給孤獨長者當晚就一心念佛,因此得以入睡。

Upon seeing this, the elder Anathapindika thought: 'What is this elder doing? Is he marrying off a daughter or taking a wife? Or is he inviting guests, a king, or ministers?' Having thought this, he asked the elder: 'What are you doing? Are you marrying off a daughter or taking a wife? Or are you inviting guests, a king, or ministers?' At that time, the elder replied to Anathapindika: 'I am not marrying off a daughter or taking a wife, nor am I inviting a king or ministers. I only wish to invite the Buddha and the assembly of monks to offer them a meal.' At that time, upon hearing the name of the Buddha, which he had never heard before, Anathapindika was greatly delighted, and all the pores of his body were filled with joy. He asked the elder: 'What is a Buddha?' The elder replied: 'There is a Shramana named Gautama, who is a descendant of the Shakya clan. Among the Shakya clan, he shaved his head and beard, donned the monastic robe, left his home with faith, and practiced the path, attaining Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. This is called a Buddha.' Anathapindika said: 'What is a Sangha?' The elder said: 'If a Brahmin by birth shaves his head and beard, dons the monastic robe, leaves his home with faith, and follows the Buddha into homelessness; or if a Kshatriya, Vaishya, or Shudra by birth, or any good man, shaves his head and beard, dons the monastic robe, leaves his home with faith, and follows the Buddha into homelessness, these are called the Sangha. Today, I am inviting the Buddha and the present Sangha to offer them a meal.' Anathapindika asked the elder: 'May I now go and see the World Honored One?' The elder replied: 'You may stay here for now. I will invite the World Honored One to come to my house, and you can see him here.' At that time, Anathapindika, that very night, focused his mind on the Buddha and was thus able to fall asleep.


。天猶未明,忽見明相,謂天已曉,欲出其舍,行向城門,至城門下,夜始二更,城門未開,王家常法,待遠使命來往,至初夜盡,城門乃閉,中夜已盡,輒復開門,欲令行人早得往來。

爾時,給孤獨長者見城門開,而作是念:「定是夜過天曉門開。」乘明相出於城門,出城門已,明相即滅,輒還闇冥。給孤獨長者心即恐怖,身毛為豎,得無為人及非人,或奸姣人恐怖我耶?即便欲還。

爾時,城門側有天神住。時,彼天神即放身光,從其城門至寒林丘塳間光明普照,告給孤獨長者言:「汝且前進,可得勝利,慎勿退還。」

時,彼天神即說偈言:

「善良馬百匹,  黃金滿百斤,  騾車及馬車,  各各有百乘,  種種諸珍奇,  重寶載其上,  宿命種善根,  得如此福報,  若人宗重心,  向佛行一步,  十六分之一,  過前福之上。

「是故,長者!汝目前進,慎勿退還!」即復說偈:

「雪山大龍象,  純金為莊飾,  巨身長大牙,  以此象施人,  不及向佛福,  十六分之一。

「是故,長者!當速前進,得其大利,非退還也

現代漢語譯本:天還沒亮,忽然看到亮光,以為天已經亮了,就想走出家門,前往城門。到了城門下,才知道才到二更,城門還沒開。這是王家的慣例,爲了方便遠方使者來往,要等到初夜結束才關閉城門,到了半夜結束,又會重新開門,是爲了讓行人能早點往來。 當時,給孤獨長者看到城門開了,就想:『一定是夜已過,天亮了,所以門開了。』就藉著亮光出了城門。出了城門后,亮光立刻消失,又恢復了黑暗。給孤獨長者心裡非常害怕,汗毛都豎了起來,心想:『難道是人或者非人,或者是什麼妖魔鬼怪在恐嚇我嗎?』就想返回。 這時,城門旁邊住著一位天神。當時,那位天神就放出光芒,從城門到寒林墳地之間都照得通亮,告訴給孤獨長者說:『你只管前進,可以獲得勝利,千萬不要退回去。』 當時,那位天神就說了偈語: 『一百匹良馬,一百斤黃金,騾車和馬車,每樣各有一百輛,各種珍奇的寶物,都裝載在上面。這是因為前世種下善根,才能得到這樣的福報。如果有人以虔誠的心,向佛走一步,那福報比之前的還要超過十六分之一。』 『所以,長者!你只管前進,千萬不要退回去!』又說了偈語: 『用純金裝飾的雪山大象,身軀巨大,長著大象牙,用這樣的大象佈施給別人,也不及向佛的福報的十六分之一。』 『所以,長者!應當快速前進,可以得到大利益,不要退回去!』

English version: The sky was not yet bright, when suddenly a light appeared. Thinking it was dawn, he wanted to leave his house and head towards the city gate. When he reached the city gate, he realized it was only the second watch of the night, and the gate was not yet open. It was the royal custom to wait until the end of the first watch of the night to close the city gate, to facilitate the passage of messengers from afar. And at the end of the middle watch, the gate would be reopened, to allow travelers to come and go early. At that time, Anathapindika, the elder, saw the city gate open and thought, 'It must be past night and dawn, so the gate is open.' He went out of the city gate by the light. Once he was out of the gate, the light immediately disappeared, and it became dark again. Anathapindika was terrified, his hair stood on end, and he thought, 'Could it be a human or non-human, or some kind of demon trying to frighten me?' He wanted to turn back immediately. At that moment, a deity lived beside the city gate. The deity then emitted a light that illuminated the area from the city gate to the cold forest burial ground, and said to Anathapindika, 'You should go forward, you will gain victory, do not retreat.' Then, the deity spoke in verse: 'A hundred good horses, a hundred pounds of gold, mule carts and horse carts, a hundred of each, all kinds of rare treasures, loaded on top. This is because of the good roots planted in past lives, that one can receive such blessings. If a person with a sincere heart, takes one step towards the Buddha, that blessing is more than one-sixteenth greater than the previous one.' 'Therefore, elder! You should go forward, do not retreat!' He then spoke another verse: 'A great snow mountain elephant, adorned with pure gold, with a huge body and long tusks, giving such an elephant in charity, is not even one-sixteenth of the merit of turning towards the Buddha.' 'Therefore, elder! You should quickly go forward, you will gain great benefit, do not retreat!'


。」復說偈言:

「金菩阇國女,  其數有百人,  種種眾妙寶,  瓔珞具莊嚴,  以是持施與,  不及行向佛,  一步之功德,  十六分之一。

「是故,長者!當速前進,得其勝利,非退還也。」

時,給孤獨長者問天神言:「賢者!汝是何人?」

天神答言:「我是摩頭息揵大摩那婆先,是長者善知識,于尊者舍利弗、大目揵連所起信敬心,緣斯功德,今得生天,典此城門,是故告長者:『但當進前,慎莫退還,前進得利,非退還也。』」

時,給孤獨長者作是念:「佛興於世,非為小事;得聞正法,亦非小事。是故天神勸我令進,往見世尊。」時,給孤獨長者尋其光明,逕至寒林丘塳間。

爾時,世尊出房露地經行,給孤獨長者遙見佛已,即至其前,以俗人禮法恭敬問訊:「云何?世尊!安隱臥不?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「婆羅門涅槃,  是則常安樂,  愛慾所不染,  解脫永無餘。  斷一切希望,  調伏心熾燃,  心得寂止息,  止息安隱眠。」

爾時,世尊將給孤獨長者往入房中,就座而坐,端身繫念

現代漢語譯本:又說偈語道: 『金菩阇國的女子,數量有百人,她們佩戴著各種精美的寶物和瓔珞,裝飾得十分華麗。用這些來佈施,也比不上向佛行進一步的功德的十六分之一。 『所以,長者!應當快速前進,獲得勝利,不要退縮。』 當時,給孤獨長者問天神說:『賢者!您是什麼人?』 天神回答說:『我是摩頭息揵大摩那婆先,是長者的善知識,因為對尊者舍利弗、大目犍連生起了信敬之心,憑藉這個功德,現在得以昇天,掌管這座城門。所以我告訴長者:『只管前進,不要退縮,前進會得到利益,退縮則不會。』 當時,給孤獨長者心想:『佛陀出現在世間,不是小事;能夠聽聞正法,也不是小事。所以天神勸我前進,去見世尊。』當時,給孤獨長者順著光明,直接到了寒林丘塳之間。 那時,世尊走出房間,在露天的地方經行。給孤獨長者遠遠地看見佛陀后,就來到佛陀面前,用俗人的禮節恭敬地問候:『世尊!您睡得安穩嗎?』 當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『婆羅門進入涅槃,才是真正的安樂,不受愛慾的污染,解脫后永遠沒有煩惱。斷除一切希望,調伏心中熾熱的慾望,心得到寂靜止息,止息后才能安穩入眠。』 當時,世尊帶領給孤獨長者進入房間,坐下,端正身體,集中意念。

English version: He then spoke in verse: 'The women of the kingdom of Kimposha, numbering a hundred, adorned with various exquisite jewels and necklaces, using these for almsgiving, is not even one-sixteenth of the merit of taking one step towards the Buddha. 'Therefore, elder! You should advance quickly and gain victory, do not retreat.' At that time, the elder Anathapindika asked the celestial being, 'Virtuous one! Who are you?' The celestial being replied, 'I am Madhusikhanda Mahamanava, a good friend of the elder. Because of the faith and reverence I had for the Venerable Sariputra and Maudgalyayana, I was reborn in heaven and now guard this city gate. Therefore, I tell the elder: 'Just go forward, do not retreat. Advancing will bring benefit, retreating will not.' At that time, the elder Anathapindika thought, 'The appearance of the Buddha in the world is no small matter; to hear the true Dharma is also no small matter. Therefore, the celestial being is urging me to go forward and see the World Honored One.' At that time, the elder Anathapindika followed the light and went directly to the area of the Cold Forest mounds. At that time, the World Honored One came out of his room and was walking in the open air. When the elder Anathapindika saw the Buddha from afar, he went before him and respectfully greeted him with the customary salutations: 'World Honored One! Did you sleep peacefully?' At that time, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'The Brahmin who has attained Nirvana is always at peace, undefiled by desire, and forever free from suffering. Having cut off all hope, and subdued the burning desires of the heart, the mind finds stillness and peace, and in that stillness, one sleeps peacefully.' At that time, the World Honored One led the elder Anathapindika into the room, sat down, straightened his body, and focused his mind.


。爾時,世尊為其說法,示、教、照、喜已,世尊說:「諸法無常,宜佈施福事、持戒福事、生天福事,欲味、欲患、欲出,遠離之福。」

給孤獨長者聞法、見法、得法、入法、解法,度諸疑惑,不由他信,不由他度,入正法、律,心得無畏,即從座起,正衣服,為佛作禮,右膝著地,合掌白佛言:「已度。世尊!已度。善逝!我從今日盡其壽命,歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧,為優婆塞,證知我。」

爾時,世尊問給孤獨長者:「汝名何等?」

長者白佛:「名須達多。以常給孤貧辛苦故,時人名我為給孤獨。」

世尊復問:「汝居何處?」

長者白佛言:「世尊!在拘薩羅人間,城名舍衛,唯愿世尊來舍衛國,我當盡壽供養衣被、飲食、房舍、床臥、隨病湯藥。」

佛問長者:「舍衛國有精舍不?」

長者白佛:「無也,世尊!」

佛告長者:「汝可於彼建立精舍,令諸比丘往來宿止。」

長者白佛:「但使世尊來舍衛國,我當造作精舍僧房,令諸比丘往來止住。」爾時,世尊默然受請。

時,長者知佛世尊默然受請已,從座起,稽首佛足而去。

(五九三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:當時,世尊為他說法,開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜之後,世尊說:『諸法都是無常的,應該行佈施的福德之事、持戒的福德之事、生天的福德之事,以及認識到慾望的滋味、慾望的禍患、以及出離慾望,遠離這些的福德。』 給孤獨長者聽聞佛法、見到佛法、得到佛法、進入佛法、理解佛法,度脫了一切疑惑,不再依賴他人的信仰,不再需要他人引導,進入了正法和戒律,內心感到無所畏懼,隨即從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,右膝跪地,合掌對佛說:『我已經度脫了。世尊!我已經度脫了。善逝!我從今天起,直到生命終結,都將皈依佛、皈依法、皈依比丘僧,成為優婆塞,請您證明我。』 當時,世尊問給孤獨長者:『你叫什麼名字?』 長者回答佛陀:『我名叫須達多。因為我經常幫助孤獨貧困的人,所以人們稱我為給孤獨。』 世尊又問:『你住在哪裡?』 長者回答佛陀說:『世尊!我住在拘薩羅國的人間,城名叫舍衛。我希望世尊能來舍衛國,我將盡我一生供養您衣物、飲食、房舍、床鋪、以及生病時的湯藥。』 佛陀問長者:『舍衛國有精舍嗎?』 長者回答佛陀:『沒有,世尊!』 佛陀告訴長者:『你可以在那裡建立精舍,讓比丘們來往住宿。』 長者回答佛陀:『只要世尊能來舍衛國,我就會建造精舍僧房,讓比丘們來往居住。』當時,世尊默然接受了邀請。 當時,長者知道佛世尊默然接受邀請后,從座位上站起來,向佛陀的腳稽首行禮,然後離開了。 (五九三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One, having expounded the Dharma for him, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening him, said: 'All dharmas are impermanent. One should engage in meritorious deeds of giving, meritorious deeds of upholding precepts, meritorious deeds of being born in heaven, and understanding the taste of desire, the suffering of desire, and the escape from desire, the merit of being free from them.' The elder Anathapindika, having heard the Dharma, seen the Dharma, attained the Dharma, entered the Dharma, and understood the Dharma, having crossed over all doubts, not relying on the faith of others, not needing to be guided by others, entered the true Dharma and the Vinaya, his mind felt fearless. He then rose from his seat, adjusted his robes, bowed to the Buddha, knelt on his right knee, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'I have crossed over. World Honored One! I have crossed over. Well-gone One! From this day until the end of my life, I take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, take refuge in the Sangha of monks, and become a lay disciple. Please acknowledge me.' At that time, the World Honored One asked the elder Anathapindika: 'What is your name?' The elder replied to the Buddha: 'My name is Sudatta. Because I often help the lonely and poor, people call me Anathapindika.' The World Honored One asked again: 'Where do you reside?' The elder replied to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I reside in the human realm of Kosala, in a city called Shravasti. I wish that the World Honored One would come to Shravasti. I will, for the rest of my life, provide you with clothing, food, lodging, bedding, and medicine for illnesses.' The Buddha asked the elder: 'Is there a monastery in Shravasti?' The elder replied to the Buddha: 'No, World Honored One!' The Buddha told the elder: 'You can establish a monastery there, so that the monks can come and stay.' The elder replied to the Buddha: 'As long as the World Honored One comes to Shravasti, I will build a monastery and monks' quarters, so that the monks can come and reside.' At that time, the World Honored One silently accepted the invitation. Then, the elder, knowing that the World Honored One had silently accepted the invitation, rose from his seat, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and departed. (593) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


時,給孤獨長者疾病命終,生兜率天,為兜率天子,作是念:「我不應久住於此,當往見世尊。」作是念已,如力士屈申臂頃,于兜率天沒,現於佛前,稽首佛足,退坐一面。時,給孤獨天子身放光明,遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,給孤獨天子而說偈言:

「於此祇桓林,  仙人僧住止,  諸王亦住此,  增我歡喜心,  深信凈戒業,  智慧為勝壽,  以此凈眾生,  非族姓財物,  大智舍利弗,  正念常寂默,  閑居修遠離,  初建業良友。」

說此偈已,即沒不現。

爾時,世尊其夜過已,入于僧中,敷尼師壇,于眾前坐,告諸比丘:「今此夜中,有一天子,容色絕妙,來詣我所,稽首我足,退坐一面。而說偈言:

「於此祇桓林,  仙人僧住止,  諸王亦住此,  增我歡喜心,  深信凈戒業,  智慧為勝壽,  以此凈眾生,  非族姓財物,  大智舍利弗,  正念常寂默,  閑居修遠離,  初建業良友。」

爾時,尊者阿難白佛言:「世尊!如我解世尊所說,給孤獨長者生彼天上,來見世尊,然彼給孤獨長者于尊者舍利弗極相敬重。」

佛告阿難:「如是,如是。阿難!給孤獨長者生彼天上,來見於我

現代漢語譯本 當時,給孤獨長者因病去世,轉生到兜率天,成為兜率天子。他心想:『我不應該在這裡久留,應當去拜見世尊。』 這樣想著,就像力士屈伸手臂那樣迅速,從兜率天消失,出現在佛陀面前,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁坐下。當時,給孤獨天子身上發出光明,照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 這時,給孤獨天子說了偈語: 『在這祇桓林中, 有仙人和僧侶居住, 諸王也住在這裡, 這讓我心中充滿歡喜。 深信佛法,持守清凈戒律, 智慧才是最長久的生命。 以此來凈化眾生, 而不是依靠家族和財富。 大智的舍利弗, 正念常在,寂靜無聲。 他閑居修行,遠離塵囂, 是最初建立道業的良友。』 說完這偈語,他就消失不見了。 那時,世尊在夜晚過去後,來到僧眾中,鋪好坐具,在眾人面前坐下,告訴眾比丘:『今天夜裡,有一位天子,容貌非常美好,來到我這裡,向我的腳行禮,然後退到一旁坐下。他說了偈語:』 『在這祇桓林中, 有仙人和僧侶居住, 諸王也住在這裡, 這讓我心中充滿歡喜。 深信佛法,持守清凈戒律, 智慧才是最長久的生命。 以此來凈化眾生, 而不是依靠家族和財富。 大智的舍利弗, 正念常在,寂靜無聲。 他閑居修行,遠離塵囂, 是最初建立道業的良友。』 當時,尊者阿難對佛說:『世尊!依我理解世尊所說,是給孤獨長者轉生到天上,來拜見世尊。而且,給孤獨長者對尊者舍利弗非常敬重。』 佛陀告訴阿難:『是的,是的。阿難!給孤獨長者轉生到天上,來拜見我。』

English version At that time, the elder Anathapindika passed away due to illness and was reborn in the Tushita Heaven, becoming a Tushita deva. He thought, 'I should not stay here long; I should go to see the World Honored One.' Having thought this, as quickly as a strong man extends and retracts his arm, he disappeared from the Tushita Heaven and appeared before the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then sat down to one side. At that time, the Tushita deva Anathapindika emitted light from his body, illuminating the entire Jeta Grove Anathapindika's Park. Then, the Tushita deva Anathapindika spoke these verses: 'In this Jeta Grove, Sages and monks reside, Kings also dwell here, Increasing my joy. Deep faith, pure precepts, Wisdom is the greatest life. By this, beings are purified, Not by lineage or wealth. The wise Shariputra, With right mindfulness, always silent. He dwells in solitude, practicing detachment, A good friend who first established the path.' Having spoken these verses, he immediately disappeared. Then, the World Honored One, after the night had passed, entered the assembly of monks, spread out his sitting cloth, and sat down before the assembly, telling the monks, 'Tonight, a deva, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, came to me, bowed at my feet, and then sat down to one side. He spoke these verses:' 'In this Jeta Grove, Sages and monks reside, Kings also dwell here, Increasing my joy. Deep faith, pure precepts, Wisdom is the greatest life. By this, beings are purified, Not by lineage or wealth. The wise Shariputra, With right mindfulness, always silent. He dwells in solitude, practicing detachment, A good friend who first established the path.' At that time, the venerable Ananda said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! As I understand what the World Honored One has said, it was the elder Anathapindika who was reborn in that heaven and came to see the World Honored One. Moreover, that elder Anathapindika had great respect for the venerable Shariputra.' The Buddha told Ananda, 'It is so, it is so. Ananda! The elder Anathapindika was reborn in that heaven and came to see me.'


。」

爾時,世尊以尊者舍利弗故,而說偈言:

「一切世間智,  唯除于如來,  比舍利弗智,  十六不及一。  如舍利弗智,  天人悉同等,  比于如來智,  十六不及一。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(五九四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住曠野精舍。

時,有曠野長者疾病命終,生無熱天。生彼天已,即作是念:「我今不應久於此住,不見世尊。」作是念已,如力士屈申臂頃,從無熱天沒,現於佛前。

時,彼天子天身委地,不能自立,猶如酥油委地,不能自立。如是,彼天子天身細軟,不自持立。

爾時,世尊告彼天子:「汝當變化作此粗身,而立於地。」

時,彼天子即自化形,作此粗身,而立於地。於是,天子前禮佛足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告手天子:「汝手天子,本於此間為人身時,所受經法,今故憶念不悉忘耶?」

手天子白佛言:「世尊!本所受持,今悉不忘。本人間時,有所聞法,不盡得者,今亦憶念,如世尊善說。世尊說言:『若人安樂處,能憶持法,非為苦處。』此說真實。如世尊在閻浮提,種種雜類,四眾圍繞,而為說法,彼諸四眾聞佛所說,皆悉奉行

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊因為尊者舍利弗的緣故,說了這樣的偈語: 『世間一切的智慧,只有如來才能超越, 舍利弗的智慧,比不上如來的十六分之一。 舍利弗的智慧,與天人相同等, 比之於如來的智慧,連十六分之一都比不上。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

(五九四)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛住在曠野精舍。

當時,有一位曠野長者因病去世,轉生到無熱天。他生到那裡后,立刻想到:『我不應該在這裡久留,我要去見世尊。』這樣想著,他像力士屈伸手臂那樣迅速,從無熱天消失,出現在佛的面前。

當時,那位天子的天身落地,不能自己站立,就像酥油落地一樣,不能自己站立。就這樣,那位天子的天身細軟,不能自己支撐站立。

這時,世尊告訴那位天子:『你應該變化成粗糙的身體,才能站立在地上。』

當時,那位天子立刻變化自己的形體,變成粗糙的身體,站立在地上。於是,天子向前禮拜佛的腳,然後退到一旁坐下。

這時,世尊告訴手天子:『你手天子,原本在此間做人時,所接受的經法,現在還記得,沒有全部忘記嗎?』

手天子對佛說:『世尊!我原本所受持的,現在都沒有忘記。我做人時,所聽聞的佛法,沒有完全領悟的,現在也都能回憶起來,就像世尊善說的那樣。世尊說過:『如果人在安樂的地方,能夠憶持佛法,就不會在苦難的地方。』這話是真實的。就像世尊在閻浮提,各種各樣的人,四眾弟子圍繞著您,您為他們說法,那些四眾弟子聽了佛所說,都奉行不違。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One, for the sake of the Venerable Shariputra, spoke these verses: 'All the wisdom in the world, only the Tathagata surpasses, Shariputra's wisdom is not even one-sixteenth of the Tathagata's. Shariputra's wisdom is equal to that of gods and humans, Compared to the Tathagata's wisdom, it is not even one-sixteenth.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.

(594)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove.

At that time, a wealthy elder of the Jeta Grove died of illness and was reborn in the Heaven of No Heat. Having been born there, he immediately thought: 'I should not stay here long; I must go see the World Honored One.' Having thought this, as quickly as a strong man bends and stretches his arm, he disappeared from the Heaven of No Heat and appeared before the Buddha.

At that time, the heavenly body of that deva fell to the ground, unable to stand on its own, just like ghee falling to the ground, unable to stand on its own. Thus, the heavenly body of that deva was so delicate and soft that it could not support itself to stand.

At that time, the World Honored One said to that deva: 'You should transform into a coarser body so that you can stand on the ground.'

At that time, that deva immediately transformed his form, making it a coarser body, and stood on the ground. Then, the deva bowed at the Buddha's feet and retreated to sit on one side.

At that time, the World Honored One said to the deva named Hand: 'You, Hand deva, when you were a human in this world, the teachings you received, do you still remember them now, or have you forgotten them all?'

The Hand deva replied to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! What I originally received, I have not forgotten now. The Dharma I heard when I was a human, those I did not fully understand, I can now recall, just as the World Honored One has well explained. The World Honored One said: 'If a person in a place of comfort can remember the Dharma, they will not be in a place of suffering.' This saying is true. Just as the World Honored One is in Jambudvipa, with all kinds of people, surrounded by the four assemblies, and you preach the Dharma to them, those four assemblies, having heard what the Buddha has said, all practice it without fail.'


。我亦如是,于無熱天上,為諸天人大會說法,彼諸天眾悉受修學。」

佛告手天子:「汝於此人間時,于幾法無厭足故,而得生彼無熱天中?」

手天子白佛:「世尊!我於三法無厭足故,身壞命終,生無熱天。何等三法?我于見佛無厭故,身壞命終生無熱天;我于佛法無厭足故,生無熱天;供養眾僧無厭足故,身壞命終,生無熱天。」時,手天子即說偈言:

「見佛無厭足,  聞法亦無厭,  供養于眾僧,  亦未曾知足,  受持賢聖法,  調伏慳著垢,  三法不知足,  故生無熱天。」

時,手天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,即沒不現。

(五九五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有無煩天子,容色絕妙,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子而說偈言:

「生彼無煩天,  解脫七比丘,  貪瞋恚已盡,  超世度恩愛,  誰度于諸流,  難度死魔軍,  誰斷死魔縻,  永超煩惱軛

現代漢語譯本:『我亦是如此,在無熱天之上,為眾天人集會說法,那些天眾都接受並修行。』 佛告訴手天子:『你在此人間時,因為對哪幾種法沒有滿足,而得以生到那無熱天中?』 手天子對佛說:『世尊!我因為對三種法沒有滿足,所以身壞命終后,生到無熱天。是哪三種法呢?我對見到佛沒有滿足,所以身壞命終後生到無熱天;我對佛法沒有滿足,所以生到無熱天;對供養眾僧沒有滿足,所以身壞命終后,生到無熱天。』當時,手天子就說了偈語: 『見到佛沒有滿足,聽聞佛法也沒有滿足,供養眾僧,也從不知道滿足,受持賢聖的教法,調伏慳吝執著的污垢,對這三種法不知滿足,所以生到無熱天。』 當時,手天子聽聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,隨即消失不見。 (五九五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位無煩天子,容貌絕美,來到佛的住所,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。他的身光遍照祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子說了偈語: 『生到那無煩天,解脫了七位比丘,貪慾、嗔恚已經斷盡,超越世俗,度脫了恩愛,誰能度過諸流,難以度過的死魔軍隊,誰能斷除死魔的束縛,永遠超越煩惱的枷鎖?』

English version: 'I am also like that, in the heaven of No Heat, I preach the Dharma to the assembly of gods and humans, and those gods all receive and practice it.' The Buddha said to the Hand Deva: 'When you were in this human world, because of which dharmas were you not satisfied, that you were able to be born in that heaven of No Heat?' The Hand Deva said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! Because I was not satisfied with three dharmas, I was born in the heaven of No Heat after my body broke and my life ended. What are these three dharmas? I was not satisfied with seeing the Buddha, so I was born in the heaven of No Heat after my body broke and my life ended; I was not satisfied with the Buddha's Dharma, so I was born in the heaven of No Heat; I was not satisfied with offering to the Sangha, so I was born in the heaven of No Heat after my body broke and my life ended.' At that time, the Hand Deva spoke a verse: 'Seeing the Buddha is never enough, hearing the Dharma is also never enough, offering to the Sangha, one has never known satisfaction, upholding the teachings of the wise and noble, subduing the defilements of stinginess and attachment, not knowing satisfaction with these three dharmas, therefore one is born in the heaven of No Heat.' At that time, the Hand Deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted, and then disappeared. (595) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, there was a Deva of No Affliction, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful, who came to the Buddha's place, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. His light illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that Deva spoke a verse: 'Born in that heaven of No Affliction, seven Bhikkhus are liberated, greed and hatred are exhausted, transcending the world, crossing over love and affection, who can cross the streams, the difficult-to-cross army of the Death Mara, who can cut the bonds of the Death Mara, forever transcending the yoke of afflictions?'


。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「尊者優波迦,  及波羅揵荼、  弗迦羅娑梨、  跋提、揵陀疊、  亦婆休難提,  及波毗瘦㝹,  如是等一切,  悉皆度諸流,  斷絕死魔縻,  度彼難度者,  斷諸死魔縻,  超越諸天軛,  說甚深妙法,  覺悟難知者,  巧便問深義,  汝今為是誰?」

時,彼天子說偈白佛:

「我是阿那含,  生彼無煩天,  故能知斯等,  解脫七比丘,  盡貪慾瞋恚,  永超世恩愛。」

爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「眼耳鼻舌身,  第六意入處,  若彼名及色,  得無餘滅盡,  能知此諸法,  解脫七比丘,  貪有悉已盡,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「鞞跋楞伽村,  我于彼中住,  名難提婆羅,  造作諸瓦器,  迦葉佛弟子,  持優婆塞法,  供養于父母,  離欲修梵行,  世世為我友,  我亦彼知識,  如是等大士,  宿命共和合,  善修于身心,  持此後邊身

現代漢語譯本 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『尊者優波迦,以及波羅揵荼、弗迦羅娑梨、跋提、揵陀疊、還有婆休難提,以及波毗瘦㝹,像他們這樣的一切人,都已度過諸流,斷絕了死魔的束縛,度過了那些難以度過的人,斷絕了死魔的束縛,超越了諸天的枷鎖,宣說甚深微妙的佛法,覺悟了那些難以覺悟的人,巧妙地詢問深奧的道理,你現在是誰呢?』 當時,那位天子用偈語告訴佛: 『我是阿那含,生在無煩天,所以能夠知道這些人,解脫了七位比丘,斷盡了貪慾和瞋恚,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 那時,世尊又用偈語說: 『眼、耳、鼻、舌、身,第六個意入處,如果那些名和色,都得到無餘的滅盡,能夠知道這些法,解脫了七位比丘,貪慾都已經斷盡,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子又用偈語說: 『在鞞跋楞伽村,我住在那裡,名叫難提婆羅,製造各種瓦器,是迦葉佛的弟子,持守優婆塞的戒律,供養父母,遠離慾望修行梵行,世世代代都是我的朋友,我也是他們的熟人,像這樣的大士,宿世的因緣和合,善於修持身心,持守這最後的身體。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'Venerable Upaka, and Parakhanda, Phukkarasali, Bhadra, Gandhadhi, also Bahunandi, and Papivishunu, all such as these have crossed the streams, severed the bonds of death's Mara, crossed those difficult to cross, severed the bonds of death's Mara, transcended the yokes of the gods, proclaimed the profound and subtle Dharma, awakened those difficult to awaken, skillfully inquired into profound meanings, who are you now?' Then, that deva spoke to the Buddha in verse: 'I am an Anagami, born in the Aviha heaven, therefore I am able to know these, liberated seven monks, exhausted greed and hatred, forever transcended worldly love.' At that time, the World Honored One again spoke in verse: 'Eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, the sixth mind-entrance, if those name and form, all attain complete extinction, able to know these dharmas, liberated seven monks, greed has been completely exhausted, forever transcended worldly love.' Then, that deva again spoke in verse: 'In the village of Bhebalangaka, I lived there, named Nandibhara, making various pottery, a disciple of Kassapa Buddha, upholding the lay precepts, supporting my parents, renouncing desires and practicing brahmacharya, in every life they are my friends, and I am their acquaintance, such great beings, their past lives are in harmony, skillful in cultivating body and mind, holding this final body.'


。」

爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「如是汝賢士,  如汝之所說,  鞞跋楞伽村,  名難提婆羅,  迦葉佛弟子,  受優婆塞法,  供養于父母,  離欲修梵行,  昔是汝知識,  汝亦彼良友,  如是諸正士,  宿命共和合,  善修其身心,  持此後邊身。」

佛說此經已,時彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,即沒不現。

(五九六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有一天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「此世多恐怖,  眾生常惱亂,  已起者亦苦,  未起亦當苦,  頗有離恐處,  唯愿慧眼說。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「無有異苦行,  無異伏諸根,  無異一切舍,  而得見解脫。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(五九七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊又說了偈語: 『賢士啊,正如你所說, 在鞞跋楞伽村,有個名叫難提婆羅的人, 他是迦葉佛的弟子,受了優婆塞的戒律, 供養父母,遠離慾望,修行梵行。 他過去是你的舊識,你也是他的好朋友, 像這樣的正人君子,宿世因緣和合, 善於修養身心,保持這最後的身體。』 佛說完這部經后,那位天子聽了佛所說,歡喜讚歎,隨即消失不見。

(五九六)

我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛的住所,向佛的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁。他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子說了偈語問佛: 『這個世間充滿了恐怖,眾生常常被煩惱所困擾, 已經產生的苦惱,以及尚未產生的苦惱,都將使人痛苦, 是否有一個地方可以遠離恐懼,希望您用智慧的眼睛告訴我。』 當時,世尊說了偈語回答說: 『沒有其他的苦行,沒有其他的調伏諸根, 沒有其他的捨棄一切,可以使人獲得解脫。』 當時,那位天子又說了偈語: 『我很久以前就見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃, 一切的恐懼都已經過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛的腳行禮,隨即消失不見。

(五九七)

我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version Then, the World Honored One spoke again in verse: 'As you say, virtuous one, In the village of Bhebalangaka, there was one named Nandibhara, A disciple of Kassapa Buddha, who received the Upasaka precepts, He honored his parents, renounced desires, and practiced the holy life. He was your former acquaintance, and you were his good friend, Such righteous individuals, their past lives are in harmony, They cultivate their body and mind well, and maintain this final body.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, that deva, hearing what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, and then vanished.

(596)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, a deva, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, that deva spoke in verse, asking the Buddha: 'This world is full of terror, beings are constantly troubled, The suffering that has arisen, and the suffering that has not yet arisen, will both cause pain, Is there a place to be free from fear, I wish you would tell me with your wise eyes.' Then, the World Honored One spoke in verse, answering: 'There is no other ascetic practice, no other subduing of the senses, No other renunciation of all things, that can lead to liberation.' Then, that deva spoke again in verse: 'Long ago I saw the Brahmin, who attained Nirvana, All fear has passed, forever transcending worldly love.' Then, that deva, hearing what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then vanished.

(597)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


時,有一天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「云何諸眾生,  受身得妙色?  云何修方便,  而得乘出道?  眾生住何法,  為何所修習,  為何等眾生,  諸天所供養。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「持戒明智慧,  自修習正受,  正直心繫念,  熾然憂悉滅,  得平等智慧,  其心善解脫,  斯等因緣故,  受身得妙色,  成就乘出道,  心住于中學,  如是德備者,  為諸天供養。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

時,彼天子而說偈言:

「沉沒于睡眠,  欠呿不欣樂,  飽食心憒鬧,  懈怠不精勤,  斯十覆眾生,  聖道不顯現

現代漢語譯本 當時,有一天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退到一旁坐下。他身上散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子以偈語向佛陀請教: 『為何眾生,能獲得美好的容貌?』 『如何修行方便法門,才能證得解脫之道?』 『眾生安住於何種法,又修習何種法門?』 『是何種眾生,能受到諸天的供養?』 這時,世尊以偈語回答說: 『持守戒律,明瞭智慧,自我修習正定,』 『以正直的心念,熾盛的憂慮都能消滅,』 『獲得平等的智慧,內心得到善解脫,』 『因為這些因緣,能獲得美好的容貌,』 『成就解脫之道,內心安住于中道,』 『像這樣具備德行的人,會受到諸天的供養。』 當時,那位天子又以偈語說道: 『我久已見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,』 『一切恐懼都已消除,永遠超越世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳稽首,隨即消失不見。 (五九八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退到一旁坐下。他身上散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子以偈語說道: 『沉溺於睡眠,打哈欠不快樂,』 『飽食後心煩意亂,懈怠不精進,』 『這十種障礙覆蓋眾生,聖道無法顯現。』

English version At that time, there was a celestial being, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then sat down to one side. The light emanating from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove Anathapindika's Park. Then, that celestial being asked the Buddha in verse: 'Why do beings obtain beautiful appearances?' 'How does one cultivate expedient methods to attain the path of liberation?' 'In what Dharma do beings abide, and what Dharma do they practice?' 'What kind of beings are worshipped by the devas?' At that time, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'By upholding precepts, understanding wisdom, and self-cultivating right concentration,' 'With an upright mind, burning worries can be extinguished,' 'Obtaining equal wisdom, the mind achieves good liberation,' 'Because of these causes and conditions, one obtains a beautiful appearance,' 'Accomplishing the path of liberation, the mind abides in the middle way,' 'Those who possess such virtues are worshipped by the devas.' Then, that celestial being again spoke in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana,' 'All fears have been overcome, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' Then, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared.

English version Then, that celestial being spoke these verses: 'Difficulties hard to endure, are due to the ignorance of the ascetics, They create many hardships, dully drowning in them, Their minds follow their senses freely, repeatedly drowning in them, How should ascetics practice, to skillfully guard their minds?' At that time, the World Honored One replied with verses: 'Like a turtle skillful in its ways, hiding its six senses in its shell, A bhikkhu practicing meditation, skillfully controls all feelings and thoughts, His mind has no attachment, no one can frighten him, This is self-concealment, no one can slander him.' Then, that celestial being spoke these verses again: 'I have finally seen the Brahmins, who have attained Nirvana, All fear has passed, forever transcending worldly love.' Then, that celestial being, hearing what the Buddha said, rejoiced and paid homage at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (601) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, a celestial being of extraordinary beauty came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, that celestial being asked the Buddha in verses: 'The small stream of Salara, how should it flow back? The path of birth and death, how should it cease to turn? All the sufferings and joys of the world, how can they be completely extinguished?' At that time, the World Honored One replied with verses: 'The eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and the entrances of the mind, When name and form are completely extinguished, the small stream of Salara will flow back, The path of birth and death will no longer turn, and suffering and joy will be completely extinguished.' Then, that celestial being spoke these verses again: 'I have finally seen the Brahmins, who have attained Nirvana, All fear has passed, forever transcending worldly love.'

『伊尼耶鹿𨄔,仙人中的至尊, 少食不貪美味,禪思樂於山林, 我今恭敬頂禮,向瞿曇請問, 如何才能出離苦?如何才能解脫苦? 我今請問解脫,在何處才能滅盡?』

這時,世尊以偈頌回答說:

『世間的五種慾望,心法說是第六種, 對於這些慾望無慾求,就能解脫一切苦, 如此才能出離苦,如此才能解脫苦, 你所問的解脫,就在那裡滅盡。』

當時,那位天子又以偈頌說道:

『久已見到婆羅門,證得般涅槃, 一切怖畏已過,永遠超越世間恩愛。』

當時,那位天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即隱沒不見。

(六〇三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位天子容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

(602)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

Then, a celestial being of exquisite beauty came to the Buddha in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.

Then, that celestial being spoke to the Buddha in verse:

'O Iniya deer, the most honored among sages, Who eats little and does not crave flavors, who delights in meditation in the mountains and forests, I now respectfully bow and ask of Gotama, How does one escape suffering? How does one find liberation from suffering? I now ask about liberation, where does it cease to exist?'

Then, the World-Honored One replied in verse:

'The five worldly desires, the mind is said to be the sixth, By having no desire for those desires, one is liberated from all suffering, Thus one escapes suffering, thus one is liberated from suffering, The liberation you ask about, ceases to exist there.'

Then, that celestial being spoke again in verse:

'Long have I seen the Brahmin, who has attained Parinirvana, All fear has been overcome, forever transcending worldly love and affection.'

Then, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately vanished.

(603)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

Then, a celestial being of exquisite beauty came to the Buddha in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.


時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「云何度諸流?  云何度大海?  云何能捨苦?  云何得清凈?」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「信能度諸流,  不放逸度海,  精進能除苦,  智慧得清凈。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊晨朝著衣持缽,共諸比丘僧入城乞食,如偈所說:

「身色如金山,  端嚴甚微妙,  行步如鵝王,  面如凈滿月,  世尊與眾俱。」

時,世尊以足踐城門限地,作六種震動,如偈所說:

「大海及大地,  城郭並諸山,  牟尼足所踐,  動搖如浪舟。」

佛變現如是神力。時,諸民人高聲唱言:「奇特未嘗有法!變現神力,如佛世尊,入城示現如是種種未曾有法

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀請教: 『什麼能渡過諸河流?什麼能渡過大海? 如何才能捨棄痛苦?如何才能獲得清凈?』 這時,世尊就用偈語回答說: 『信念能渡過諸河流,不放逸能渡過大海, 精進能去除痛苦,智慧能獲得清凈。』 當時,那位天子又用偈語說道: 『我很久以前就見到婆羅門,他已經證得涅槃, 一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳稽首,隨即消失不見。

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

當時,世尊早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,與眾比丘一起進入城中乞食,就像偈語所說: 『身色如同金山,端正莊嚴非常微妙, 行走如鵝王般優雅,面容如清凈圓滿的月亮, 世尊與大眾同行。』 當時,世尊用腳踩在城門門檻的地上,引發了六種震動,就像偈語所說: 『大海和大地,城郭和諸山, 牟尼的腳所踩之處,都像波浪中的船一樣搖動。』 佛陀顯現了這樣的神力。當時,民眾高聲呼喊:『真是奇特,從未有過的景象!顯現神力,像佛陀世尊一樣,進入城中示現如此種種前所未有的景象!』

English version At that time, that deva spoke in verse, asking the Buddha: 'By what does one cross the streams? By what does one cross the great sea? How does one abandon suffering? How does one attain purity?' Then, the World-Honored One spoke in verse, saying: 'By faith one crosses the streams, by non-negligence one crosses the sea, By diligence one removes suffering, by wisdom one attains purity.' At that time, that deva again spoke in verse, saying: 'Long have I seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fear has passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' At that time, that deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared.

Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 22 Taisho Tripitaka Vol. 02, No. 0099, Samyukta Agama Sutra

Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 23

Translated by Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

(604)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.

At that time, the World-Honored One, having put on his robes in the morning and holding his bowl, entered the city with the assembly of monks to beg for alms, as described in the verse: 'His body color is like a golden mountain, his form is extremely subtle and dignified, His gait is like that of a king of geese, his face is like a pure and full moon, The World-Honored One walks with the assembly.' At that time, the World-Honored One stepped on the threshold of the city gate, causing six kinds of tremors, as described in the verse: 'The great sea and the earth, the city walls and all the mountains, Where the Muni's feet stepped, they shook like a boat in the waves.' The Buddha manifested such miraculous power. At that time, the people cried out loudly, 'How marvelous, such a phenomenon has never occurred before! Manifesting miraculous power, like the World-Honored Buddha, entering the city and showing such unprecedented phenomena!'


。」如偈所說:

「地下即成平,  高地反為下,  由佛威神故,  荊棘諸瓦礫,  皆悉不復見,  聾盲及瘖啞,  即得見聞語,  城郭諸樂器,  不擊妙音出。」

時,彼世尊光相普照,如千日之焰,如偈所說:

「世尊身光明,  普照城邑中,  民人蒙佛光,  涼若栴檀涂。」

時,世尊順邑而行。時,彼有兩童子,一者上姓,二者次姓,共在沙中嬉戲。一名阇耶,二名毗阇耶,遙見世尊來,三十二大人相莊嚴其體。時,阇耶童子心念言:「我當以麥麨,仍手捧細沙,著世尊缽中。」

時,毗阇耶合掌隨喜,如偈所說:

「見大悲世尊,  通身一尋光,  勇顏睹世尊,  心生大敬信,  捧沙即奉施,  得離生老際。」

時,彼童子而發願言:「以惠施善根功德,令得一天下一傘蓋王,即於此生得供養諸佛。」如偈所說:

「牟尼知彼心,  及彼意所愿,  受果增善根,  及福田力故,  即以大悲心,  受其奉施沙。」

時,阇耶以此善根,當得為王,王閻浮提,乃至得成無上正覺,故世尊發微笑

現代漢語譯本:正如偈語所說: 『地面立刻變得平坦,高地反而變成低窪, 由於佛陀的威神之力,荊棘和瓦礫都消失不見, 聾子、盲人和啞巴,立刻能聽見、看見和說話, 城郭中的各種樂器,無需敲擊就能發出美妙的聲音。』 當時,世尊的光芒普照四方,如同千個太陽的光輝,正如偈語所說: 『世尊的身光,普照整個城邑, 民眾沐浴在佛光中,感覺涼爽如同塗抹了檀香。』 當時,世尊順著城邑行走。當時,有兩個童子,一個出身高貴,一個出身普通,一起在沙地裡玩耍。 一個名叫阇耶,一個名叫毗阇耶,他們遠遠看見世尊走來,三十二種大丈夫相莊嚴其身。 當時,阇耶童子心想:『我應當用麥粉,再用手捧起細沙,放入世尊的缽中。』 當時,毗阇耶合掌隨喜,正如偈語所說: 『看見大慈大悲的世尊,全身散發著一尋的光芒, 勇敢地瞻仰世尊,心中生起極大的敬信, 捧起沙子就奉獻出去,得以脫離生老之苦。』 當時,那兩個童子發願說:『以佈施的善根功德,愿能得到統治天下的傘蓋王位,並且在此生就能供養諸佛。』正如偈語所說: 『牟尼知道他們的心意,以及他們心中的願望, 接受他們的供養,增長善根,並且由於福田的力量, 就以大悲心,接受他們奉獻的沙子。』 當時,阇耶以此善根,將來會成為國王,統治閻浮提,乃至最終成就無上正覺,所以世尊發出了微笑。

English version: As the verse says: 'The ground immediately becomes level, the high places turn low, Due to the Buddha's divine power, thorns and rubble all disappear, The deaf, blind, and mute, immediately gain the ability to hear, see, and speak, The various musical instruments in the city, without being struck, emit wonderful sounds.' At that time, the World Honored One's light shone everywhere, like the radiance of a thousand suns, as the verse says: 'The World Honored One's body light, illuminates the entire city, The people bathed in the Buddha's light, feel cool as if smeared with sandalwood.' At that time, the World Honored One walked along the city. At that time, there were two boys, one of noble birth and one of common birth, playing together in the sand. One was named Jaya, and the other was named Vijaya. They saw the World Honored One coming from afar, his body adorned with the thirty-two marks of a great man. At that time, the boy Jaya thought: 'I should use wheat flour, and then with my hands, offer fine sand into the World Honored One's bowl.' At that time, Vijaya joined his palms in joyful agreement, as the verse says: 'Seeing the compassionate World Honored One, whose whole body emits a fathom of light, Bravely gazing upon the World Honored One, great reverence and faith arise in their hearts, Offering the sand they hold, they are able to escape the suffering of birth and old age.' At that time, the two boys made a vow: 'With the merit of this act of giving, may we obtain the umbrella-covered kingship over the world, and in this life be able to make offerings to all Buddhas.' As the verse says: 'The Muni knows their minds, and the wishes in their hearts, Accepting their offering, increasing their good roots, and due to the power of the field of merit, With great compassion, he accepts the sand they offer.' At that time, Jaya, with this good root, will become a king, ruling Jambudvipa, and eventually attain unsurpassed enlightenment, therefore the World Honored One smiled.


爾時,阿難見世尊發微笑,即便合掌向佛,而白佛言:「世尊!諸佛世尊阿羅訶三藐三佛陀,非無因緣而能發微笑,今佛世尊以何因緣而發微笑?」如偈所說:

「世尊離調笑,  無上世中尊,  齒白如珂玉,  最勝今發笑,  勇猛勤精進,  無師而自覺,  妙言令樂聞,  無上柔軟音,  而記彼童子,  梵音遠清徹,  無上兩足尊,  記彼施沙果。」

爾時,世尊告阿難曰:「如是,如是,如汝所說。諸佛無有因緣亦不發笑,我今笑者,其有因緣。阿難當知,於我滅度百年之後,此童子于巴連弗邑統領一方,為轉輪王,姓孔雀,名阿育,正法治化,又復廣佈我舍利,當造八萬四千法王之塔,安樂無量眾生。

「如偈所說:

「於我滅度后,  是人當作王,  孔雀姓名育,  譬如頂生王,  於此閻浮提,  獨王世所尊。

「阿難!取此缽中所施之沙,舍著如來經行處,當行彼處。」

阿難受教,即取缽沙,舍經行處。

「阿難當知,于巴連弗邑,有王名曰月護。彼王當生子,名曰頻頭娑羅,當治彼國。彼復有子,名曰修師摩

現代漢語譯本 當時,阿難看到世尊露出微笑,便合掌向佛,對佛說:『世尊!諸佛世尊、阿羅漢、正等覺,不會無緣無故地露出微笑。現在佛世尊因為什麼因緣而露出微笑呢?』正如偈頌所說: 『世尊遠離戲謔,是世間無上的尊者,牙齒潔白如珂玉,最殊勝的您今天露出微笑,勇猛精進,無師自悟,妙語令人樂於聽聞,擁有無上柔和的聲音,您記述那個童子,梵音清澈悠遠,無上兩足尊,您記述他佈施沙果。』 當時,世尊告訴阿難說:『是這樣,是這樣,正如你所說。諸佛沒有因緣也不會發笑,我今天發笑,是有因緣的。阿難你應當知道,在我滅度百年之後,這個童子將在巴連弗邑統治一方,成為轉輪王,姓孔雀,名阿育,以正法治理教化,又將廣泛分佈我的舍利,將建造八萬四千座法王之塔,安樂無量眾生。』 『正如偈頌所說:』 『在我滅度之後,這個人將成為國王,姓孔雀,名叫阿育,就像頂生王一樣,在這閻浮提,獨自為王,受世人尊敬。』 『阿難!取這個缽中所施的沙子,撒在如來經行的地方,應當在那裡行走。』 阿難接受教誨,立即取了缽中的沙子,撒在經行的地方。 『阿難你應當知道,在巴連弗邑,有位國王名叫月護。那位國王將生一個兒子,名叫頻頭娑羅,將治理那個國家。他又有兒子,名叫修師摩。

English version At that time, Ananda saw the World Honored One smile, and immediately joined his palms towards the Buddha, and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! The Buddhas, World Honored Ones, Arhats, Samyaksaṃbuddhas, do not smile without a cause. Now, for what reason does the World Honored One smile?' As the verse says: 'The World Honored One is free from jesting, the supreme honored one in the world, with teeth as white as jade, the most excellent one now smiles, courageous and diligent, self-awakened without a teacher, with wonderful words that are pleasing to hear, possessing a supreme gentle voice, you have noted that child, whose Brahma voice is far-reaching and clear, the supreme two-legged honored one, you have noted his offering of sand fruit.' At that time, the World Honored One said to Ananda: 'It is so, it is so, as you have said. The Buddhas do not smile without a cause, and my smile today has a cause. Ananda, you should know that a hundred years after my passing, this child will rule a region in Pataliputra, becoming a Chakravartin king, with the surname Peacock, named Ashoka, governing and teaching with the righteous Dharma, and will also widely distribute my relics, building eighty-four thousand Dharma King pagodas, bringing peace to countless beings.' 'As the verse says:' 'After my passing, this person will become a king, with the surname Peacock, named Ashoka, like the king born from the top of the head, in this Jambudvipa, he will be the sole king, respected by the world.' 'Ananda! Take the sand offered in this bowl, and scatter it where the Tathagata walks, and you should walk there.' Ananda received the teaching, and immediately took the sand from the bowl and scattered it where the Buddha walked. 'Ananda, you should know that in Pataliputra, there is a king named Moon Protector. That king will have a son named Bindusara, who will govern that country. He will also have a son named Sushim.


「時,彼瞻婆國有一婆羅門女,極為端正,令人樂見,為國所珍,諸相師輩見彼女相,即記彼女:『當爲王妃,又生二子,一當領一天下,一當出家學道,當成聖蹟。』

「時,彼婆羅門聞彼相師所說,歡喜無量,即持其女,詣巴連弗邑,種種莊嚴,莊嚴其體,欲嫁與修師摩王子。相師云:『應嫁與頻頭娑羅王,彼女當生福德子,子當紹王基。』婆羅門即以其女嫁與此王。王見其女,端正有德,即為夫人。前夫人及諸婇女見是夫人來,作是念言:『此女極為端正,國中所珍,王若與彼相娛樂者,棄捨我等,乃至目所不視。』

「諸女輩即使學習剃毛師業。彼悉學已,為王料理鬢髮。料理之時,王大歡喜,即問彼女:『汝何所求欲?』女啟王言:『唯愿王心愛念我耳!』如是三啟。

「時,王言:『我是剎利灌頂王,汝是剃毛師,云何得愛念汝?』彼女白王言:『我非是下姓生,乃是高族婆羅門之女。相師語我父云:此女應嫁與國王。是故來至此耳!』王言:『若然者,誰令汝習下劣之業?』女啟王言:『是舊夫人及婇女令我學此。』

「王即敕言:『自今勿複習下業。』王即立為第一夫人。王恒與彼自相娛樂,仍便懷體,月滿生子,生時安隱,母無憂惱。過七日後,立字無憂

現代漢語譯本 當時,瞻婆國有一位婆羅門女子,容貌極其端莊美麗,令人喜愛,被全國視為珍寶。相士們看了她的相貌后,就預言說:『她將來會成為王妃,並且會生下兩個兒子,其中一個將統治天下,另一個將出家修道,成就聖果。』 當時,那位婆羅門聽到相士們這樣說,非常高興,就帶著他的女兒,前往巴連弗邑,用各種飾品打扮她,想要把她嫁給修師摩王子。相士卻說:『應該把她嫁給頻頭娑羅王,她會生下有福德的兒子,兒子會繼承王位。』於是,婆羅門就把女兒嫁給了這位國王。國王見到她,覺得她端莊賢德,就立她為夫人。之前的夫人和宮女們看到這位夫人來了,就想:『這個女子非常美麗,是全國的珍寶,如果國王和她尋歡作樂,就會拋棄我們,甚至連看都不看我們一眼。』 於是,這些宮女們就去學習剃頭師的技藝。她們都學會後,就為國王梳理頭髮。在梳理頭髮的時候,國王非常高興,就問她們:『你們想要什麼?』宮女們回答說:『只希望國王能愛我們!』這樣說了三次。 當時,國王說:『我是剎帝利灌頂的國王,你們是剃頭師,怎麼能愛你們呢?』宮女們告訴國王說:『我們不是低賤的出身,而是高貴的婆羅門之女。相士告訴我父親說:這個女子應該嫁給國王。所以才來到這裡!』國王說:『如果是這樣,是誰讓你們學習低賤的技藝?』宮女們回答說:『是之前的夫人和宮女們讓我們學習的。』 國王就下令說:『從今以後,不要再學習低賤的技藝。』國王就立她為第一夫人。國王經常和她一起尋歡作樂,不久她就懷孕了,足月後生下了一個兒子,生產時平安順利,母親沒有憂愁煩惱。過了七天後,給孩子取名為無憂。

English version At that time, in the country of Champa, there was a Brahmin woman who was extremely beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and was treasured by the whole country. When the fortune tellers saw her appearance, they predicted: 'She will become a queen, and will give birth to two sons, one of whom will rule the world, and the other will leave home to practice the Way and achieve sainthood.' At that time, the Brahmin, upon hearing what the fortune tellers said, was overjoyed. He took his daughter to Pataliputra, adorned her with various ornaments, and intended to marry her to Prince Shishuma. However, the fortune tellers said: 'She should marry King Bimbisara, and she will give birth to a son of great merit, who will inherit the throne.' Therefore, the Brahmin married his daughter to this king. When the king saw her, he found her to be virtuous and beautiful, and made her his queen. The previous queen and the palace women, upon seeing this new queen, thought: 'This woman is extremely beautiful and is treasured by the whole country. If the king indulges in pleasure with her, he will abandon us, and may not even look at us.' Therefore, these palace women went to learn the skills of a barber. After they had all learned, they styled the king's hair. While styling his hair, the king was very pleased and asked them: 'What do you desire?' The women replied: 'We only wish that the king would love us!' They said this three times. At that time, the king said: 'I am a Kshatriya king, and you are barbers, how can I love you?' The women told the king: 'We are not of low birth, but are daughters of high-ranking Brahmins. The fortune tellers told my father: This woman should marry a king. That is why we came here!' The king said: 'If that is so, who made you learn such lowly skills?' The women replied: 'It was the previous queen and the palace women who made us learn this.' The king then ordered: 'From now on, do not learn such lowly skills.' The king then made her his first queen. The king often indulged in pleasure with her, and soon she became pregnant. After the full term, she gave birth to a son, the delivery was safe and smooth, and the mother had no worries or troubles. After seven days, the child was named Ashoka.


。又復生子,名曰離憂。無憂者,身體粗澀,父王不大附捉,情所不念。又王欲試二子,呼賓伽羅阿。語婆羅門言:『和上觀我諸子,於我滅后,誰當作王?』婆羅門言:『將此諸子出城金殿園館中,于彼當觀其相。』乃至出往彼園。

「時,阿育王母語阿育言:『承王出金殿園館中,觀諸王子,於我滅后,誰當作王。汝今云何不去?』阿育啟言:『王既不念我,亦復不樂見我。』母復言:『但往彼所。』阿育復啟:『母復敕令往,今便往去,愿母當送飲食。』母言:『如是。當出城去。』

「時,出門逢一大臣,名曰阿㝹羅陀。此臣問阿育言:『王子今至何所?』阿育答言:『聞大王出在金殿園館,觀諸王子,於我滅后,誰當作王。今往詣彼。』

「王先敕大臣:『若阿育來者,當使其乘老鈍象來,又復老人為眷屬。』時,阿育乘是老象,乃至園館中,于諸王子中地坐。

「時,諸王子各下飲食,阿育母以瓦器盛酪飯,送與阿育。如是諸王子各食飲食。時,父王問師言:『此中誰有王相,當紹我位?』時,彼相師視諸王子,見阿育具有王相,當得紹位。又作是念:『此阿育,王所不應,我若語言當作王者,王必愁憂不樂。』即語言:『我今總記。』王報言:『如師所教

現代漢語譯本:他又生了一個兒子,取名叫離憂。無憂的身體粗糙,父王不太喜歡他,心裡也不疼愛他。後來,國王想測試兩個兒子,就叫來賓伽羅阿。他告訴婆羅門說:『和尚觀察我的兒子們,在我死後,誰會成為國王?』婆羅門說:『把這些兒子帶到城外的金殿園館中,在那裡觀察他們的相貌。』於是他們就去了那個園館。 當時,阿育王的母親對阿育說:『聽說國王去了金殿園館,觀察王子們,看我死後誰會成為國王。你為什麼不去呢?』阿育回答說:『國王既然不喜歡我,也不想見到我。』母親又說:『你只管去那裡。』阿育又說:『母親您命令我去,我現在就去,希望母親能送些食物。』母親說:『好的,等你出城的時候我會送去。』 當時,出門時遇到一位大臣,名叫阿㝹羅陀。這位大臣問阿育說:『王子您現在要去哪裡?』阿育回答說:『聽說大王在金殿園館,觀察王子們,看我死後誰會成為國王。我現在要去那裡。』 國王事先命令大臣:『如果阿育來了,就讓他騎著老弱的象來,並且讓老人做他的隨從。』當時,阿育騎著這頭老象,到了園館,在眾王子中坐在地上。 當時,眾王子各自拿出食物,阿育的母親用瓦器盛著乳酪飯,送給阿育。就這樣,眾王子各自吃著食物。當時,父王問相師說:『這裡面誰有國王的相貌,可以繼承我的王位?』當時,那位相師觀察眾王子,看到阿育具有國王的相貌,應當繼承王位。他又想:『這個阿育,國王不喜歡他,如果我說他會成為國王,國王一定會愁悶不樂。』於是就說:『我先總的記一下。』國王回答說:『就按老師說的辦。』

English version: He then had another son, named Li You (Free from Sorrow). Wu You (Without Sorrow) had a rough body, and the father king did not like him much, nor did he cherish him in his heart. Later, the king wanted to test his two sons, so he summoned Bingjialuo A. He told the Brahmin, 'Monk, observe my sons, who will become king after my death?' The Brahmin said, 'Take these sons to the golden palace garden outside the city, and observe their appearances there.' So they went to that garden. At that time, King Ashoka's mother said to Ashoka, 'I heard that the king went to the golden palace garden to observe the princes, to see who will become king after my death. Why don't you go?' Ashoka replied, 'Since the king does not like me, nor does he want to see me.' The mother said again, 'Just go there.' Ashoka said again, 'Mother, since you order me to go, I will go now, and I hope mother can send some food.' The mother said, 'Okay, I will send it when you leave the city.' At that time, upon leaving the gate, he met a minister named A Nuo Luo Tuo. This minister asked Ashoka, 'Prince, where are you going now?' Ashoka replied, 'I heard that the king is in the golden palace garden, observing the princes, to see who will become king after my death. I am going there now.' The king had previously ordered the minister, 'If Ashoka comes, make him ride an old and weak elephant, and have old people as his attendants.' At that time, Ashoka rode this old elephant and arrived at the garden, sitting on the ground among the princes. At that time, the princes each brought out food, and Ashoka's mother sent him rice porridge with cheese in a clay pot. Thus, the princes each ate their food. At that time, the father king asked the physiognomist, 'Who among them has the appearance of a king and can inherit my throne?' At that time, the physiognomist observed the princes and saw that Ashoka had the appearance of a king and should inherit the throne. He also thought, 'This Ashoka, the king does not like him, if I say he will become king, the king will surely be worried and unhappy.' So he said, 'I will make a general note first.' The king replied, 'Do as the teacher says.'


。』師言:『此中若有乘好乘者,是人當作王。』時,諸王子聞彼所說,各念言:『我乘好乘。』時,阿育言:『我乘老宿象,我得作王。』

「時,王又復語師言:『愿更為觀授記。』師復答言:『此中有第一座者,彼當作王。』諸王子各相謂言:『我坐第一座。』阿育言:『我今坐地,是我勝座,我當作王。』

「復語師:『更為重觀。』師又報言:『此中上器、上食,此當得王。』乃至阿育念言:『我有勝乘、勝座、勝食。』時,王觀子相畢,便即還宮。

「時,阿育母問阿育言:『誰當作王?婆羅門復記誰耶?』阿育啟言:『上乘、上座、上器、上食,當作王子,自見當作王:老象為乘,以地為坐,素器盛食,粳米雜酪飯。』

「時,彼婆羅門知阿育當作王,數脩敬其母。其母亦重餉婆羅門,即便問言:『大王崩后,誰當作王?』師答言:『此不可說也。』如是乃至三問。師言:『吾當語汝,慎勿使人知,汝生此子,名曰阿育,是其人也。』夫人白言:『我聞此語,歡喜踴躍,若王聞者,于師所不生敬信,師今可還本住處;若子作王者,師當一切得吉利,盡形供養。』

現代漢語譯本:『老師說:「這裡面如果有乘坐好坐騎的人,這個人就應當做國王。」當時,各位王子聽到老師這樣說,各自心裡想:「我乘坐的是好坐騎。」這時,阿育說:「我乘坐的是年老的馴象,我應當做國王。」 當時,國王又對老師說:「希望您再觀察一下,給他們授記。」老師又回答說:「這裡面有坐在第一位的人,他應當做國王。」各位王子各自互相說:「我坐在第一位。」阿育說:「我現在坐在地上,這是我的殊勝座位,我應當做國王。」 國王又對老師說:「請您再仔細觀察。」老師又回答說:「這裡面有使用上等器皿、吃上等食物的人,他應當做國王。」以至於阿育心裡想:「我有殊勝的坐騎、殊勝的座位、殊勝的食物。」當時,國王觀察完兒子的相貌后,就回宮了。 當時,阿育的母親問阿育說:「誰應當做國王?婆羅門又給誰授記了?」阿育回答說:「乘坐上等坐騎、坐在上等座位、使用上等器皿、吃上等食物的人,應當做王子,自己認為應當做國王:乘坐老象為坐騎,以地為座位,用素器盛食物,吃粳米雜酪飯。」 當時,那位婆羅門知道阿育應當做國王,多次尊敬他的母親。他的母親也重重地賞賜婆羅門,就問他說:「大王駕崩后,誰應當做國王?」老師回答說:「這不可以說的。」像這樣問了三次。老師說:「我應當告訴你,千萬不要讓人知道,你生的這個兒子,名叫阿育,就是這個人。」夫人說:「我聽到這話,歡喜雀躍,如果大王聽到,對老師就不會產生敬信,老師現在可以回到原來的住處;如果兒子做了國王,老師應當一切都得到吉利,終身供養。」 當時,頻頭羅王邊境的德叉尸羅反叛。當時,國王對阿育說:「你帶領四種軍隊,去平定那個國家。」王子出發時,都沒有給他兵器鎧甲。

English version: 'The teacher said, 'Among you, if there is someone who rides a good mount, that person shall be king.' At that time, all the princes, upon hearing what the teacher said, each thought, 'I ride a good mount.' Then, Ashoka said, 'I ride an old, trained elephant, I shall be king.' Then, the king again said to the teacher, 'I wish you would observe further and give them a prophecy.' The teacher replied again, 'Among you, the one who sits in the first seat, he shall be king.' The princes each said to one another, 'I sit in the first seat.' Ashoka said, 'I now sit on the ground, this is my superior seat, I shall be king.' The king again said to the teacher, 'Please observe more carefully.' The teacher replied again, 'Among you, the one who uses superior vessels and eats superior food, he shall be king.' To the point that Ashoka thought, 'I have a superior mount, a superior seat, and superior food.' At that time, after the king had observed the appearances of his sons, he returned to the palace. At that time, Ashoka's mother asked Ashoka, 'Who shall be king? Who did the Brahmin prophesy for?' Ashoka replied, 'The one who rides a superior mount, sits in a superior seat, uses superior vessels, and eats superior food, shall be the prince, and considers himself to be king: riding an old elephant as a mount, using the ground as a seat, using plain vessels for food, and eating rice with yogurt.' At that time, the Brahmin knew that Ashoka would be king, and he frequently respected his mother. His mother also rewarded the Brahmin generously, and asked him, 'After the king passes away, who shall be king?' The teacher replied, 'This cannot be said.' She asked three times in this manner. The teacher said, 'I shall tell you, but be careful not to let anyone know, the son you bore, named Ashoka, is that person.' The lady said, 'Upon hearing this, I am overjoyed, if the king were to hear, he would not have faith in the teacher, the teacher may now return to his original dwelling; if my son becomes king, the teacher shall receive all good fortune, and be provided for throughout his life.' At that time, the border region of King Bindusara, Taxila, rebelled. At that time, the king said to Ashoka, 'You shall lead the four divisions of the army and pacify that country.' When the prince departed, he was not given any weapons or armor.


「時,從者白王子言:『今往伐彼國,無有軍仗。云何得平?』阿育言:『我若為王,善根果報者,兵甲自然來。』應發是語時,尋聲地開,兵甲從地而出,即將四兵,往伐彼國。

「時,彼諸國民人聞阿育來,即平治道路,莊嚴城郭,執持吉瓶之水,及種種供養,奉迎王子,而作是言:『我等不反大王及阿育王子,然諸臣輩不利我等,我等是故背違聖化。』即以種種供養王子,請入城邑。平此國已,又使至伐佉沙國。

「時,彼二大力士為王平治道路,推諸山石。又復諸天宣令此國:『阿育當王此天下,汝等勿興逆意。』彼國王即便降伏。如是,乃至平此天下,至於海際。

「時,修師摩王子出外遊戲,又復遇逢一大臣,臣不修禮法,王子即使人打拍其身。大臣念言:『此王子未得王位,用性如是;若得王者,不可而當。又聞阿育得天下,得壞五百大臣,我等相與立阿育為王,領此天下。』

「又,德叉尸羅國反,諸臣共議:『令修師摩王子去。』王亦應可,即便往彼國,不能降伏。

「時,父王復得重疾,王語諸臣:『吾今欲立修師摩為王,令阿育往至彼國。』時,諸臣欲令阿育作王,以黃物涂阿育體及面手腳已,諸臣白王言:『阿育王子今得重疾

現代漢語譯本 當時,隨從的人對王子說:『現在去攻打那個國家,沒有軍備武器,怎麼能平定呢?』阿育說:『如果我能當上國王,憑藉善根的果報,兵器鎧甲自然會來。』他剛說完這句話,就聽到地面裂開的聲音,兵器鎧甲從地裡涌出,於是他率領四種軍隊,前去攻打那個國家。 當時,那個國家的百姓聽說阿育來了,就修整道路,裝飾城池,拿著吉祥瓶的水和各種供品,迎接王子,並說道:『我們不是要背叛大王和阿育王子,而是那些大臣對我們不利,我們因此才違背了聖上的教化。』他們用各種供品供奉王子,請他進入城邑。平定這個國家后,他又派兵去攻打佉沙國。 當時,那裡的兩位大力士為國王修整道路,推開山石。而且諸天也向這個國家宣告:『阿育將要統治天下,你們不要產生反叛之心。』那個國王就投降了。就這樣,阿育平定了天下,直到海邊。 當時,修師摩王子外出遊玩,又遇到一位大臣,這位大臣不遵守禮法,王子就讓人鞭打他。大臣心想:『這個王子還沒當上國王,就如此暴虐;如果當上國王,那還得了。』又聽說阿育得到了天下,還殺害了五百位大臣,我們不如一起擁立阿育為王,讓他統治天下。 此外,德叉尸羅國反叛,大臣們商議:『讓修師摩王子去吧。』國王也同意了,修師摩王子就去了那個國家,但沒能降服他們。 當時,父王又得了重病,國王對大臣們說:『我現在想立修師摩為王,讓阿育去那個國家。』當時,大臣們想讓阿育當國王,就用黃色的東西塗抹阿育的身體、臉、手和腳,然後大臣們對國王說:『阿育王子現在得了重病』

English version At that time, the followers said to the prince: 'Now we are going to attack that country, but we have no military equipment. How can we achieve peace?' Ashoka said, 'If I become king, by the merit of my good deeds, weapons and armor will come naturally.' As soon as he said this, they heard the sound of the ground splitting open, and weapons and armor emerged from the ground. Then he led the four divisions of the army to attack that country. At that time, the people of that country, hearing that Ashoka was coming, repaired the roads, decorated the city, and holding auspicious water in vases and various offerings, welcomed the prince, saying, 'We do not intend to betray the king or Prince Ashoka, but the ministers are not good to us, and that is why we have disobeyed the holy teachings.' They offered various gifts to the prince and invited him into the city. After pacifying this country, he sent troops to attack the country of Khasa. At that time, two strong men there repaired the roads for the king, pushing away rocks. Moreover, the gods proclaimed to this country: 'Ashoka will rule the world, do not harbor rebellious thoughts.' The king then surrendered. In this way, Ashoka pacified the world, all the way to the sea. At that time, Prince Sushimma went out to play and encountered a minister who did not observe the proper etiquette. The prince had him beaten. The minister thought, 'This prince is so violent even before becoming king; if he becomes king, it will be unbearable.' Hearing that Ashoka had conquered the world and killed five hundred ministers, they decided to support Ashoka as king to rule the world. Furthermore, the country of Taxila rebelled, and the ministers discussed, 'Let Prince Sushimma go.' The king agreed, and Prince Sushimma went to that country, but he could not subdue them. At that time, the father king became seriously ill again. The king said to the ministers, 'I now want to make Sushimma king and send Ashoka to that country.' At that time, the ministers wanted Ashoka to be king, so they smeared Ashoka's body, face, hands, and feet with yellow substances. Then the ministers said to the king, 'Prince Ashoka is now seriously ill.'


。』諸臣即便莊嚴阿育,將至王所:『今且立此子為王,我等后徐徐當立修師摩為王。』時,王聞此語,甚以不喜,憂愁不樂,默然不對。

「時,阿育心念口言:『我應正得王位者,諸天自然來,以水灌我頂,素繒系首。』尋聲諸天即以水灌阿育頂,素繒系首。時,王見此相貌,極生愁惱,即便命終。

「阿育王如禮法殯葬父王已,即立阿㝹樓陀為大臣。

「時,修師摩王子聞父崩背,今立阿育為王,心生不忍,即集諸兵,而來伐阿育。阿育王四門中,二門安二力士,第三門安大臣,自守東門。

「時,阿㝹樓陀大臣機關木象,又作阿育王像,像即騎象,安置東門外。又作無煙火坑聚,以物覆之。修師摩既來到時,阿㝹樓陀大臣語修師摩王子:『欲作王者,阿育在東門,可往伐之,能得此王者,自然得作王。』時,彼王子即趣東門,即墮火坑,便即死亡。

「爾時,有一大力士,名曰跋陀羅由陀,聞修師摩終亡,厭世,將無量眷屬,于佛法中出家學道,加勤精進,逮得漏盡,成阿羅漢道。

「阿育王正法治化。時,諸臣輩我等共立阿育為王故,輕慢于王,不行君臣之禮,王亦自知諸臣輕慢於我。

「時,王語諸臣曰:『汝等可伐花果之樹,植于刺棘

現代漢語譯本:眾大臣隨即莊重地擁立阿育,來到國王面前說:『現在先立這個兒子為王,我們之後再慢慢地擁立修師摩為王。』當時,國王聽到這話,非常不高興,憂愁不樂,沉默不語。 當時,阿育心中默唸並口中說道:『我如果應該真正得到王位,諸天自然會來,用水灌我的頭頂,用白色的絲綢繫在我的頭上。』話音剛落,諸天就用水灌阿育的頭頂,用白色的絲綢繫在他的頭上。當時,國王看到這種景象,非常憂愁惱怒,隨即就去世了。 阿育王按照禮法安葬了父王后,就任命阿㝹樓陀為大臣。 當時,修師摩王子聽到父親去世,現在立阿育為王,心中不甘,就集結軍隊,前來攻打阿育。阿育王在四個城門中,兩個門安排了兩個力士,第三個門安排了大臣,自己守衛東門。 當時,阿㝹樓陀大臣製作了機關木象,又製作了阿育王的雕像,雕像騎在木象上,安置在東門外。又挖了一個沒有煙的火坑,用東西覆蓋住。修師摩來到時,阿㝹樓陀大臣對修師摩王子說:『想要當國王,阿育在東門,可以去攻打他,能打敗他的人,自然就能當國王。』當時,那位王子就奔向東門,隨即掉入火坑,當場死亡。 那時,有一位大力士,名叫跋陀羅由陀,聽到修師摩去世,厭倦世俗,帶領無數眷屬,在佛法中出家修行,更加勤奮精進,最終證得漏盡,成就阿羅漢道。 阿育王以正法治理國家。當時,眾大臣因為當初是他們共同擁立阿育為王,就輕慢於他,不遵守君臣之禮,阿育王也知道眾大臣輕慢自己。 當時,阿育王對眾大臣說:『你們可以砍伐花果樹,種植荊棘。』

English version: The ministers then solemnly supported Ashoka and went to the king, saying, 'Now let's first establish this son as king, and later we will slowly establish Sushim as king.' At that time, the king heard these words, was very unhappy, worried and unhappy, and remained silent. At that time, Ashoka thought in his heart and said aloud, 'If I should truly obtain the throne, the heavens will naturally come, pour water on my head, and tie white silk around my head.' As soon as he spoke, the heavens poured water on Ashoka's head and tied white silk around his head. At that time, the king saw this scene, was very worried and angry, and then passed away. After King Ashoka buried his father according to the rites, he appointed Anuruddha as a minister. At that time, Prince Sushim heard that his father had passed away and that Ashoka was now established as king, and he was unwilling. So he gathered troops and came to attack Ashoka. King Ashoka arranged two strong men at two of the four city gates, a minister at the third gate, and he himself guarded the east gate. At that time, Minister Anuruddha made a mechanical wooden elephant and also made a statue of King Ashoka. The statue rode the wooden elephant and was placed outside the east gate. He also dug a smokeless fire pit and covered it with something. When Sushim arrived, Minister Anuruddha said to Prince Sushim, 'If you want to be king, Ashoka is at the east gate, you can go and attack him. Whoever can defeat him will naturally become king.' At that time, that prince rushed to the east gate, immediately fell into the fire pit, and died on the spot. At that time, there was a strong man named Bhadrayudha, who, upon hearing of Sushim's death, became weary of the world. He led countless followers, left home to practice in the Buddha's teachings, and with diligent effort, attained the end of outflows and became an Arhat. King Ashoka governed the country with righteous laws. At that time, the ministers, because they had jointly established Ashoka as king, became disrespectful to him and did not observe the rites of ministers to their king. King Ashoka also knew that the ministers were disrespectful to him. At that time, King Ashoka said to the ministers, 'You can cut down the flowering and fruit-bearing trees and plant thorns.'


。』諸臣答曰:『未嘗見聞卻除華果而植刺樹,而見除伐刺樹而植果實。』乃至王三敕令伐,彼亦不從。

「爾時,國王忿諸大臣,即持利劍,殺五百大臣。又時,王將婇女眷屬,出外園中游戲,見一無憂樹,華極敷盛。王見已,此華樹與我同名。心懷歡喜。王形體醜陋,面板粗澀,諸婇女輩,心不愛王,憎惡王故,以手毀折無憂華樹。王從眠覺,見無憂樹華狼藉在地,心生忿怒,系諸婇女,以火燒殺。王行暴惡,故曰暴惡阿育王。

「時,阿㝹樓陀大臣白王言:『王不應為是法。云何以手自殺人,諸臣婇女?王今當立屠殺之人,應有所殺,以付彼人。』王即宣教立屠殺者。彼有一山,名曰耆梨,中有一織師家。織師有一子,亦名耆梨,兇惡撾打繫縛小男小女,及捕水陸之生,乃至拒逆父母,是故世人傳云兇惡耆梨子。

「時,王諸使語彼:『汝能為王斬諸兇人不?』彼答曰:『一切閻浮提有罪者,我能凈除,況復此一方?』

「時,諸使輩還啟王言:『彼人已得兇惡者。』王言:『覓將來也!』諸使呼彼,彼答言:『小忍,先奉辭父母。』具說上事,父母言:『子不應行是事。』如是三敕,彼生不仁之心,即便殺父母已,然後乃至

現代漢語譯本:眾臣回答說:『我們從未見過砍掉果樹而種植荊棘的,只見過砍掉荊棘而種植果樹的。』即使國王三次下令砍伐,他們也不聽從。 當時,國王對大臣們很生氣,就拿起利劍,殺了五百個大臣。又有一次,國王帶著妃嬪眷屬,到外面的園林中游玩,看到一棵無憂樹,花開得非常茂盛。國王看到后,心想這花樹和我的名字相同,心裡很高興。國王的形體醜陋,面板粗糙,妃嬪們心裡都不喜歡國王,因為憎恨國王,就用手摺毀了無憂樹的花。國王從睡夢中醒來,看到無憂樹的花狼藉在地,心裡非常憤怒,就把妃嬪們都抓起來,用火燒死了。國王行為暴虐,所以被稱為暴惡阿育王。 當時,阿㝹樓陀大臣對國王說:『大王不應該這樣做。怎麼能親手殺人,殺大臣和妃嬪呢?大王現在應該設立專門殺人的人,應該殺的人,就交給他們去殺。』國王就下令設立了屠殺者。那裡有一座山,名叫耆梨,山中有一個織布工的家。織布工有一個兒子,也叫耆梨,他兇惡地毆打、捆綁小男孩小女孩,還捕捉水陸的生物,甚至違逆父母,所以世人傳說他是兇惡的耆梨子。 當時,國王的使者對他說:『你能為國王斬殺那些兇惡的人嗎?』他回答說:『整個閻浮提有罪的人,我都能清除乾淨,何況只是這一方?』 當時,使者們回去稟告國王說:『那個人已經得到了兇惡的人。』國王說:『把他找來!』使者們呼喚他,他回答說:『請稍等,我先向父母告別。』他把上面的事情都說了,父母說:『你不能做這件事。』這樣三次命令,他生起了不仁之心,就殺死了父母,然後才去。

English version: The ministers replied, 'We have never seen anyone remove fruit trees to plant thorn trees, but we have seen people remove thorn trees to plant fruit trees.' Even when the king ordered the felling three times, they did not obey. At that time, the king was angry with the ministers, so he took up a sharp sword and killed five hundred ministers. Another time, the king went to play in the outer garden with his concubines and attendants, and saw an Ashoka tree with its flowers in full bloom. When the king saw it, he thought that this flowering tree had the same name as him, and he was very happy. The king's body was ugly and his skin was rough. The concubines did not like the king in their hearts. Because they hated the king, they broke off the flowers of the Ashoka tree with their hands. When the king woke up from his sleep and saw the flowers of the Ashoka tree scattered on the ground, he was very angry. He arrested all the concubines and burned them to death. The king's behavior was tyrannical, so he was called the Tyrannical King Ashoka. At that time, Minister Anuruddha said to the king, 'Your Majesty should not do this. How can you kill people with your own hands, killing ministers and concubines? Your Majesty should now establish a person who specializes in killing, and those who should be killed should be handed over to them to kill.' The king then ordered the establishment of a slaughterer. There was a mountain there called Giri, and there was a weaver's house in the mountain. The weaver had a son, also named Giri, who was viciously beating and binding young boys and girls, and also capturing creatures on land and in water, and even disobeying his parents. Therefore, people said that he was the vicious son of Giri. At that time, the king's messengers said to him, 'Can you kill those vicious people for the king?' He replied, 'I can cleanse all the guilty people in Jambudvipa, let alone just this one place?' At that time, the messengers returned to report to the king, 'That person has already become a vicious person.' The king said, 'Find him and bring him here!' The messengers called to him, and he replied, 'Please wait a moment, I will first say goodbye to my parents.' He told them about the above matter, and his parents said, 'You should not do this.' After three such orders, he developed an unbenevolent heart, and then killed his parents before going.


「諸使問曰:『何以經久不速來也?』時,彼兇惡具說上事。諸使者以是事具啟王。王即敕彼:『我所有罪人,事應至死,汝當知之。』彼啟王言:『為我作舍。』王乃至為其作舍屋室,極為端嚴,唯開一門,門亦極精嚴,于其中間,作治罪之法羅列,狀如地獄,彼獄極為勝好。時,彼兇人啟王言:『今從王乞愿,若人來入此中者,不復得出。』王答言:『如汝所啟乞愿,當以與汝。』

「時,彼屠主往詣寺中,聽諸比丘說地獄事。時,有比丘講地獄經:『有眾生生地獄者,地獄即執彼罪人,以熱鐵鉗鉗開其口,以熱鐵丸著其口中。次融銅灌口,次復鐵斧斬截其體,次復杻械枷鎖檢系其身,次復火車爐炭,次復鐵鑊,次復灰河,次復刀山劍樹。』具如天五使經所說。彼屠主具聞比丘說是諸事,開其住處,所作治罪之法如彼所說,案此法而治罪人。

「又一時,商主將其婦入于大海,入海時,婦便生子,名曰為海。如是在海十有餘年,采諸重寶,還到本鄉,道中值五百賊,殺于商主,奪彼寶物。

「爾時,商主之子見父傷死,及失寶物,厭世間苦故,于如來法中出家學道,還其本土,遊行諸國,次至巴連弗邑。過此夜已,晨朝著衣持缽,入城次第乞食,誤入屠殺舍中

現代漢語譯本 『使者們問道:「為什麼這麼久還不回來?」當時,那個兇惡的人便把上面的事情都說了。使者們把這件事全部稟告了國王。國王就命令他說:「我所有的罪人,罪行應該處死的,你要知道。」那人稟告國王說:「請為我建造房屋。」國王就為他建造了房屋,極其端莊華麗,只開一個門,門也極其精巧嚴密,在房屋中間,陳列著懲治罪犯的刑具,樣子像地獄,那個監獄極其豪華。當時,那個兇惡的人稟告國王說:「現在向大王請求,如果有人進入這裡,就不能再出來。」國王回答說:「就按照你所請求的,給你。」 當時,那個屠夫到寺廟裡去,聽眾比丘們講說地獄的事情。當時,有比丘講說地獄的經典:『有眾生生到地獄,地獄就會抓住那些罪人,用燒紅的鐵鉗鉗開他們的嘴,把燒紅的鐵丸放進他們的嘴裡。接著用熔化的銅灌進他們的嘴裡,接著又用鐵斧砍斷他們的身體,接著又用枷鎖鐐銬束縛他們的身體,接著又讓他們進入火爐炭火中,接著又讓他們進入鐵鍋中,接著又讓他們進入灰河中,接著又讓他們登上刀山劍樹。』詳細情況就像《天五使經》所說的那樣。那個屠夫聽完比丘講說的這些事情,就打開他的住處,所設定的懲治罪犯的刑具就像比丘所說的那樣,按照這些方法來懲治罪人。 又有一天,一個商人帶著他的妻子進入大海,進入海里的時候,他的妻子就生了一個孩子,取名叫海。就這樣在海上過了十多年,採集了各種珍寶,返回家鄉,在路上遇到了五百個強盜,殺死了商人,搶走了他的寶物。 當時,商人的兒子看到父親被殺,又失去了寶物,厭惡世間的痛苦,就在如來的佛法中出家修行,回到他的家鄉,遊歷各國,然後到了巴連弗邑。過了這一夜,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入城裡依次乞食,誤入了屠宰場。

English version 'The messengers asked, 'Why have you not come back for so long?' At that time, the wicked man explained everything that had happened. The messengers reported the matter in full to the king. The king then ordered him, 'All my criminals who deserve to die, you should know about them.' He reported to the king, 'Please build a house for me.' The king then built a house for him, extremely grand and magnificent, with only one door, which was also very elaborate and secure. In the middle of the house, instruments of punishment were arranged, resembling hell, and the prison was extremely luxurious. At that time, the wicked man reported to the king, 'Now I ask the king, if anyone enters this place, they shall not come out again.' The king replied, 'As you have requested, it shall be granted to you.' At that time, the butcher went to the temple to listen to the monks talk about hell. At that time, a monk was lecturing on the scriptures of hell: 'When beings are born into hell, hell will seize those sinners, use hot iron tongs to pry open their mouths, and put hot iron balls into their mouths. Then, molten copper is poured into their mouths, then their bodies are cut with iron axes, then their bodies are bound with shackles and chains, then they are made to enter the furnace of fire and charcoal, then they are made to enter the iron cauldron, then they are made to enter the river of ashes, then they are made to climb the mountain of knives and the trees of swords.' The details are as described in the 'Heavenly Five Messengers Sutra.' After the butcher heard the monks speak of these things, he opened his dwelling, and the instruments of punishment he set up were as the monks had described, and he used these methods to punish sinners. Another time, a merchant took his wife into the sea. When they entered the sea, his wife gave birth to a child, who was named Sea. They spent more than ten years at sea, collecting various treasures, and returned to their hometown. On the way, they encountered five hundred bandits who killed the merchant and stole his treasures. At that time, the merchant's son saw his father killed and his treasures lost. Disgusted with the suffering of the world, he left home to practice the Dharma of the Tathagata. He returned to his hometown, traveled to various countries, and then arrived at Pataliputra. After spending the night, he put on his robes in the morning, took his bowl, and went into the city to beg for alms, mistakenly entering the slaughterhouse.


「時,彼比丘遙見舍里,見火車爐炭等治諸眾生,如地獄中,尋生恐怖,衣毛皆豎,便欲出門。時,兇惡即往,執彼比丘言:『入此中者,無有得出,汝今於此而死。』比丘聞其所說,心生悲毒,泣淚滿目。兇主問曰:『汝云何如小兒啼?』

「爾時,比丘以偈答曰:

「『我不恐畏死,  志願求解脫,   所求不成果,  是故我啼泣,   人身極難得,  出家亦復然,   遇釋師子王,  自今不重睹。』

「爾時,兇主語比丘曰:『汝今必死,何所憂惱?』比丘復以哀言答云:『乞我少時生命,可至一月。』彼兇不聽。如是日數漸減,止於七日,彼即聽許。

「時,此比丘知將死不久,勇猛精進,坐禪息心,終不能得道。至於七日,時,王宮內人有事至死,送付兇惡之人,令治其罪。兇主將是女人著臼中,以杵搗之,令成碎末。

「時,比丘見是事,極厭惡此身:『嗚呼!苦哉!我不久亦當如是。』而說偈言:

「『嗚呼大悲師,  演說正妙法,   此身如聚沫,  于義無有實。   曏者美女色,  今將何所在,   生死極可舍,  愚人而貪著。   繫心緣彼處,  今當脫鎖木,   令度三有海,  畢竟不復生

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位比丘遠遠地看見了刑場,看到火爐、炭火等正在懲治各種眾生,如同地獄一般,頓時心生恐懼,汗毛倒豎,便想逃出門去。這時,兇惡的獄卒立刻上前,抓住那位比丘說:『進入這裡的人,沒有能出去的,你今天就要死在這裡。』比丘聽了這話,心中悲痛萬分,淚流滿面。獄卒頭目問道:『你為什麼像小孩子一樣哭泣?』 當時,比丘用偈語回答說: 『我並不畏懼死亡, 我一心想要解脫, 所求的道果沒有成就, 所以才哭泣, 人身是極難得到的, 出家也是如此, 有幸遇到釋迦牟尼佛, 從今以後再也見不到了。』 當時,獄卒頭目對那位比丘說:『你今天必死無疑,還憂愁什麼呢?』比丘又用哀傷的語氣回答說:『請給我少許生命,可以到一個月。』獄卒頭目不答應。這樣,日子逐漸減少,最後定為七天,獄卒頭目才答應了他。 當時,這位比丘知道自己將不久於人世,便勇猛精進,坐禪靜心,但始終不能得道。到了第七天,當時,王宮內有人因事而死,被送給兇惡的獄卒,讓他們懲治其罪。獄卒頭目將這個女人放入石臼中,用杵搗碎,使之成為粉末。 當時,比丘看到這件事,極其厭惡這個身體:『唉!苦啊!我不久也將像這樣。』於是說偈語道: 『唉!大慈大悲的導師, 演說正妙的佛法, 這身體如同泡沫, 在真理上沒有真實性。 先前的美女容顏, 如今又在哪裡呢? 生死輪迴極其應當捨棄, 愚蠢的人卻貪戀執著。 將心繫念于彼處, 現在應當掙脫枷鎖, 令我度過三有苦海, 最終不再受生。』

English version At that time, the monk saw the execution ground from afar, witnessing the furnaces, burning coals, and other instruments used to punish various beings, resembling hell. He was immediately filled with terror, his hair stood on end, and he wanted to flee. Then, the cruel guard immediately approached, seized the monk, and said, 'Those who enter here cannot leave; you will die here today.' Upon hearing this, the monk was overwhelmed with grief, tears streaming down his face. The chief guard asked, 'Why do you weep like a child?' At that time, the monk replied in verse: 'I do not fear death, I am determined to seek liberation, The fruit of my seeking has not been achieved, Therefore, I weep, A human body is extremely difficult to obtain, And so is renunciation, Having had the fortune to meet Shakyamuni Buddha, I will never see him again from now on.' Then, the chief guard said to the monk, 'You are certain to die today, what is there to worry about?' The monk replied with a sorrowful tone, 'Grant me a little more life, perhaps a month.' The chief guard refused. Gradually, the days were reduced, finally settling on seven days, which the chief guard agreed to. At that time, the monk knew that his death was imminent, so he practiced diligently, sitting in meditation to calm his mind, but he could not attain enlightenment. On the seventh day, someone in the royal palace died and was sent to the cruel guards to be punished. The chief guard placed the woman in a mortar and pounded her with a pestle until she was reduced to powder. When the monk saw this, he was extremely disgusted with his body: 'Alas! How painful! I will soon be like this.' Then he spoke in verse: 'Alas! The great compassionate teacher, Who expounds the true and wonderful Dharma, This body is like foam, It has no reality in truth. Where is the beauty of the woman from before, Where is it now? The cycle of birth and death should be abandoned, Yet fools cling to it. Focusing my mind on that place, Now I shall break free from these shackles, To cross the sea of the three realms, And ultimately not be reborn.'


。   如是勤方便,  專精修佛法,   斷除一切結,  得成阿羅漢。』

「時,彼兇惡人語此比丘:『期限已盡。』比丘問曰:『我不解爾之所說。』彼兇答曰:『先期七日,今既已滿。』比丘以偈答曰:

「『我心得解脫,  無明大黑闇,   斷除諸有蓋,  以殺煩惱賊,   慧日今已出,  鑑察心意識,   明瞭見生死,  今者愍人時,   隨順修聖法,  我今此身骸,   任爾之所為,  無復有吝惜。』

「爾時,彼兇主執彼比丘著鐵鑊油中,足與薪火,火終不然,假使然者,或復不熱。兇主見火不然,打拍使者,而自然火,火即猛盛;久久,開鐵鑊蓋,見彼比丘鐵鑊中蓮華上坐,生希有心,即啟國王,王即便嚴駕,將無量眾,來看比丘。

「時,彼比丘調伏時至,即身升虛空,猶如雁王,示種種變化,如偈所說。

「王見是比丘,  身升在虛空,  心懷大歡喜,  合掌觀彼聖:

「『我今有所白,  意中所不解,   形體無異人,  神通未曾有,   為我分別說,  修習何等法,   令汝得清凈,  為我廣敷演,   令得勝妙法,  我了法相已,   為汝作弟子,  畢竟無有悔

現代漢語譯本 『如果這樣勤奮方便,專心精進地修習佛法,就能斷除一切煩惱束縛,最終成就阿羅漢的果位。』 當時,那個兇惡的人對這位比丘說:『你的期限已經到了。』比丘問:『我不明白你說的意思。』那兇惡的人回答說:『先前約定七天,現在已經滿了。』比丘用偈語回答說: 『我的心已經解脫,擺脫了無明的巨大黑暗,斷除了各種煩惱的遮蓋,殺死了煩惱的賊寇。智慧的太陽現在已經升起,照見我的心識,明瞭地看清了生死的真相。現在是憐憫眾生的時候,我將順應聖法修行。我現在的這個身體,任憑你處置,我沒有絲毫的吝惜。』 當時,那個兇惡的首領把這位比丘放入鐵鍋的油中,在下面新增柴火,火卻始終沒有燒起來,即使燒起來,也可能不熱。兇惡的首領看到火沒有燒起來,就鞭打使者,這時火自然就燒起來了,而且火勢猛烈。過了很久,打開鐵鍋的蓋子,看到那位比丘在鐵鍋中的蓮花上端坐,心中生起稀有的想法,就稟告了國王。國王立刻準備車駕,帶領無數的人,來看這位比丘。 當時,這位比丘調伏眾生的時機到了,就騰身升到空中,像大雁王一樣,展示各種神通變化,就像偈語所說的那樣。 國王看到這位比丘,身體升在空中,心中非常歡喜,合掌瞻仰這位聖者: 『我現在有些事情要稟告,心中有些不明白的地方。你的形體和普通人沒有區別,但是神通卻從未見過。請為我分別解說,你修習了什麼法,才能如此清凈?請為我廣泛地宣講,讓我得到殊勝的妙法。我瞭解了法的真相后,就做你的弟子,永遠不會後悔。』

English version 'If one is diligent and skillful, and focuses intently on practicing the Buddha's teachings, one can cut off all fetters and attain the state of an Arhat.' At that time, the wicked man said to the monk, 'Your time is up.' The monk asked, 'I don't understand what you mean.' The wicked man replied, 'The agreed-upon seven days have now passed.' The monk responded with a verse: 'My mind is liberated, free from the great darkness of ignorance. I have cut off all coverings of existence, and slain the thieves of affliction. The sun of wisdom has now risen, illuminating my consciousness. I clearly see the truth of birth and death. Now is the time to have compassion for others, and I will follow the holy teachings. This body of mine, do with it as you please, I have no attachment to it.' At that time, the wicked leader placed the monk in an iron cauldron of oil, and added firewood underneath. The fire would not ignite, or if it did, it would not be hot. Seeing that the fire would not ignite, the wicked leader whipped the servants, and then the fire ignited naturally, and burned fiercely. After a long time, the lid of the cauldron was opened, and the monk was seen sitting on a lotus flower in the cauldron. The leader was amazed, and reported this to the king. The king immediately prepared his carriage, and led countless people to see the monk. At that time, the time for the monk to tame beings had arrived, and he rose into the sky, like a king of geese, displaying various miraculous transformations, as described in the verse. The king saw the monk, his body rising into the sky, and his heart was filled with great joy. He joined his palms and gazed at the holy one: 'I have something to ask, something I do not understand in my heart. Your form is no different from other people, yet your miraculous powers are unprecedented. Please explain to me, what practices did you cultivate to become so pure? Please expound upon it for me, so that I may receive the supreme Dharma. Once I understand the truth of the Dharma, I will become your disciple, and never have any regrets.'


。』

「時,彼比丘而作是念:『我今伏是王,多有所導,攝持佛法,當廣分佈如來舍利,安樂無量眾生,於此閻浮提,盡令信三寶。』以是因緣故,自顯其德。而向王說偈言:

「『我是佛弟子,  逮得諸漏盡,   又復是佛子,  不著一切有,   我今已調伏,  無上兩足尊,   息心得寂靜,  生死大恐怖,   我今悉得脫,  有離三有縛,   如來聖法中,  獲得如是利。』

「時,阿育王聞彼比丘所說,于佛所生大敬信,又白比丘言:『佛未滅度時,何所記說?』比丘答言:『佛記大王:「於我滅后,過百歲之時,于巴連弗邑,有三億家,彼國有王,名曰阿育,當王此閻浮提,為轉輪王,正法治化;又復廣佈我舍利,于閻浮提立八萬四千塔。」佛如是記大王。然大王今造此大地獄,殺害無量民人,王今宜應慈念一切眾生,施其無畏,令得安隱,佛之所記大王者,王當如法修行。』而說偈言:

「『當行哀愍心,  莫惱諸群生,   當修習佛法,  廣佈佛舍利。』

「時,彼阿育王于佛所極生敬信,合掌向比丘作禮:『我得大罪,今向比丘懺悔,我之所作甚為不可,愿為佛子,受我懺悔。舍心勿復責,我愚人今復歸命

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位比丘這樣想:『我如今要降伏這位國王,引導他走向正道,護持佛法,廣泛地分佈如來的舍利,使閻浮提的無量眾生得到安樂,都信奉三寶。』因為這個緣故,他顯現自己的德行,並向國王說了偈語: 『我是佛的弟子,已經證得諸漏已盡,又因為是佛的兒子,所以不執著於一切有。我如今已經調伏了無上的兩足尊,平息了心念,達到寂靜,脫離了生死的巨大恐怖。我如今已經完全解脫,脫離了三有的束縛,在如來的神聖教法中,獲得了這樣的利益。』 當時,阿育王聽了那位比丘所說的話,對佛產生了極大的敬信,又問比丘說:『佛在世的時候,有什麼預言嗎?』比丘回答說:『佛曾預言大王:「在我滅度之後,過一百年的時候,在巴連弗邑,會有三億戶人家,那個國家會有個國王,名叫阿育,他將統治這個閻浮提,成為轉輪王,用正法治理教化;又會廣泛地分佈我的舍利,在閻浮提建立八萬四千座佛塔。」佛是這樣預言大王的。然而大王現在建造這個大地獄,殺害了無數的百姓,大王現在應該慈悲憐憫一切眾生,給予他們無畏的保護,讓他們得到安穩,佛所預言的大王,您應當依法修行。』並說了偈語: 『應當懷有哀憫之心,不要惱害各種眾生,應當修習佛法,廣泛地分佈佛的舍利。』 當時,阿育王對佛產生了極大的敬信,合掌向比丘作禮:『我犯下了大罪,現在向比丘懺悔,我所做的事情非常不應該,希望作為佛的弟子,接受我的懺悔。請您不要再責怪我,我這個愚人現在重新歸依佛法。』

English version At that time, the monk thought to himself: 'I will now subdue this king, guide him to the right path, uphold the Dharma, widely distribute the relics of the Tathagata, bring peace to countless beings in Jambudvipa, and make them all believe in the Three Jewels.' For this reason, he manifested his virtue and spoke a verse to the king: 'I am a disciple of the Buddha, having attained the end of all outflows. Moreover, being a son of the Buddha, I am not attached to anything that exists. I have now subdued the supreme two-legged one, calmed my mind, attained tranquility, and escaped the great terror of birth and death. I am now completely liberated, free from the bonds of the three realms of existence. In the sacred Dharma of the Tathagata, I have obtained such benefits.' At that time, King Ashoka, upon hearing what the monk had said, developed great faith and reverence for the Buddha. He then asked the monk, 'What did the Buddha foretell when he was alive?' The monk replied, 'The Buddha foretold, 「After my passing, a hundred years will pass, and in Pataliputra, there will be three hundred million households. In that country, there will be a king named Ashoka, who will rule this Jambudvipa, becoming a Chakravartin king, governing and teaching with the righteous Dharma. He will also widely distribute my relics and build eighty-four thousand stupas in Jambudvipa.」 The Buddha foretold this about you, Great King. However, Great King, you are now building this great hell, killing countless people. You should now have compassion for all beings, grant them fearlessness, and let them attain peace. The Great King whom the Buddha foretold, you should practice according to the Dharma.' And he spoke a verse: 'You should have a compassionate heart, do not harm any living beings, you should practice the Buddha's Dharma, and widely distribute the Buddha's relics.' At that time, King Ashoka developed great faith and reverence for the Buddha. He put his palms together and bowed to the monk, saying, 'I have committed a great sin, and now I repent to the monk. What I have done is very wrong. I hope that as a disciple of the Buddha, you will accept my repentance. Please do not blame me any further. I, a foolish person, now take refuge in the Dharma again.'


。』而說偈言:

「『我今歸依佛,  無上勝妙法,   比丘諸眾尊,  我今盡命歸,   我今當勇猛,  奉受世尊敕,   於此閻浮提,  普立諸佛塔,   種種諸供養,  懸繒及幡幢,   莊嚴世尊塔,  妙麗世希有。』

「時,彼比丘度阿育王已,乘空而化。

「時,王從地獄出,兇主白王言:『王不復得去。』王曰:『汝今欲殺我耶?』彼曰:『如是。』王曰:『誰先入此中?』答曰:『我是。』王曰:『若然者,汝先應取死。』王即敕人,將此兇主著作膠舍里,以火燒之,又敕壞此地獄,施眾生無畏。

「時,王欲建舍利塔,將四兵眾,至王舍城,取阿阇世王佛塔中舍利,還復修治此塔,與本無異。如是取七佛塔中舍利,至羅摩村中。時,諸龍王將是王入龍宮中,王從龍索舍利供養,龍即與之。王從彼而出,如偈所說:

「『羅摩羅村中,  所有諸佛塔,   龍王所奉事,  守護而供養,   王從龍索分,  諸龍開懷與,   即持此舍利,  漸進于余方

現代漢語譯本:於是,他說了這樣的偈語:『我今皈依佛陀,皈依無上殊勝的佛法,皈依尊敬的比丘僧眾,我今將盡此一生皈依。我今應當勇猛精進,奉行世尊的教誨,在這閻浮提世界,普遍建立諸佛的佛塔,用種種供養,懸掛綵帶和幡幢,莊嚴世尊的佛塔,使其美妙無比,世所罕見。』 當時,那位比丘度化了阿育王之後,就騰空而去。 當時,阿育王從地獄出來,兇惡的獄卒對他說:『你不能再離開了。』阿育王說:『你現在想殺我嗎?』獄卒說:『是的。』阿育王說:『是誰先進入這裡的?』獄卒回答說:『是我。』阿育王說:『既然如此,你應當先死。』阿育王就命令手下,把這個兇惡的獄卒關進膠舍里,用火焚燒他,又命令摧毀這個地獄,讓眾生不再恐懼。 當時,阿育王想要建造舍利塔,就帶領四方軍隊,來到王舍城,從阿阇世王的佛塔中取出舍利,然後重新修繕這座佛塔,使其與原來一樣。像這樣,他從七座佛塔中取出舍利,來到羅摩村。當時,諸位龍王將阿育王迎入龍宮中,阿育王向龍王索取捨利供養,龍王就給了他。阿育王從龍宮出來,就像偈語所說:『在羅摩村中,所有諸佛的佛塔,都被龍王所供奉守護,阿育王向龍王索取一部分,龍王欣然給予,阿育王就拿著這些舍利,逐漸前往其他地方。』

English version: Then, he spoke these verses: 'I now take refuge in the Buddha, the supreme and wonderful Dharma, and the venerable Sangha of monks. I now dedicate my life to taking refuge. I shall now be courageous and diligent, following the World Honored One's teachings. In this Jambudvipa world, I will universally establish pagodas of all Buddhas, with various offerings, hanging streamers and banners, to adorn the pagodas of the World Honored One, making them wonderfully beautiful and rare in the world.' At that time, after the monk had converted King Ashoka, he ascended into the sky and vanished. At that time, King Ashoka came out of hell, and the cruel jailer said to him, 'You cannot leave again.' King Ashoka said, 'Do you want to kill me now?' The jailer said, 'Yes.' King Ashoka said, 'Who entered here first?' The jailer replied, 'It was me.' King Ashoka said, 'If that is so, you should die first.' King Ashoka then ordered his men to put the cruel jailer in a glue house and burn him with fire. He also ordered the destruction of this hell, so that living beings would no longer fear it. At that time, King Ashoka wanted to build stupas for the relics. He led his four armies to Rajagriha, took the relics from King Ajatashatru's stupa, and then repaired the stupa, making it the same as before. In this way, he took relics from seven stupas and came to Ramagrama. At that time, the dragon kings welcomed King Ashoka into the dragon palace. King Ashoka asked the dragon kings for relics to make offerings, and the dragon kings gave them to him. King Ashoka came out of the dragon palace, as the verses say: 'In Ramagrama, all the stupas of the Buddhas are revered and protected by the dragon kings. King Ashoka asked the dragon kings for a share, and the dragon kings gladly gave it. King Ashoka then took these relics and gradually proceeded to other places.'


。』

「時,王作八萬四千金、銀、琉璃、頗梨篋,盛佛舍利;又作八萬四千四寶瓶,以盛此篋,又作無量百千幡幢傘蓋,使諸鬼神各持舍利供養之具,敕諸鬼神言:『于閻浮提,至於海際,城邑聚落滿一億家者,為世尊立舍利塔。』

「時,有國名著叉尸羅,三十六億家,彼國人語鬼神言:『三十六篋舍利與我等,起立佛塔。』王作方便,國中人少者,令分與彼,令滿家數,而立為塔。

「時,巴連弗邑有上座,名曰耶舍,王詣彼所,白上座曰:『我欲一日之中,立八萬四千佛塔,遍此閻浮提,意願如是。』如偈贊曰:

「『大王名阿育,  于先八塔中,   各取其舍利,  於此閻浮提,   建立諸佛塔,  八萬及四千,   縱廣殊妙勝,  一日都使畢。』

「時,彼上座白王言:『善哉!大王!克后十五日月食時,令此閻浮提起諸佛塔。』如是乃至一日之中,立八萬四千塔,世間民人,興慶無量,共號名曰法阿育王。如偈贊曰:

「『王聖種孔雀,  安樂世間人,   於此閻浮提,  建立勝妙塔,   本名為惡王,  今造勝妙業,   共號名法王,  相傳至於后

現代漢語譯本 當時,國王制作了八萬四千個金、銀、琉璃、頗梨的箱子,用來盛放佛舍利;又製作了八萬四千個四寶瓶,用來盛放這些箱子,還製作了無數的幡幢傘蓋,讓眾鬼神各自拿著供養舍利的器具,並敕令眾鬼神說:『在閻浮提,凡是到達海邊,城邑聚落滿一億戶的地方,都要為世尊建立舍利塔。』 當時,有一個國家名叫著叉尸羅,有三十六億戶人家,那個國家的人對鬼神說:『請把三十六個舍利的箱子給我們,我們要建立佛塔。』國王想辦法,讓國內人口少的地方,分給他們一些,使之達到規定的戶數,然後建立佛塔。 當時,在巴連弗邑有一位上座,名叫耶舍,國王去到他那裡,對上座說:『我希望在一天之內,在整個閻浮提建立八萬四千座佛塔,我的心願是這樣。』正如偈頌所讚歎的: 『大王名叫阿育,從先前的八座塔中,各自取出舍利,在這閻浮提,建立諸佛塔,八萬和四千座,縱橫都非常殊勝美妙,一天之內全部完成。』 當時,那位上座對國王說:『太好了!大王!在十五日後的月食之時,讓這閻浮提興建起所有的佛塔。』就這樣,在一天之內,建立了八萬四千座塔,世間的人民,歡喜慶賀,無法計量,共同稱他為法阿育王。正如偈頌所讚歎的: 『國王是聖種孔雀族,使世間人民安樂,在這閻浮提,建立了殊勝美妙的塔,原本被稱為惡王,現在造了殊勝美妙的功業,共同稱他為法王,世代相傳到後世。』

English version At that time, the king made eighty-four thousand chests of gold, silver, lapis lazuli, and crystal to hold the Buddha's relics; he also made eighty-four thousand four-treasure bottles to hold these chests, and countless banners, canopies, and umbrellas, instructing the various spirits to each hold the implements for offering relics, and commanded the spirits, saying: 'In Jambudvipa, wherever it reaches the sea, and where there are one hundred million households in cities and villages, build stupas for the World Honored One.' At that time, there was a country named Taxila, with thirty-six billion households. The people of that country said to the spirits: 'Give us thirty-six chests of relics, and we will build a stupa.' The king devised a way to have the areas with fewer people in the country share with them, so that they would reach the required number of households, and then build the stupa. At that time, in Pataliputra, there was a senior monk named Yasha. The king went to him and said to the senior monk: 'I wish to build eighty-four thousand stupas throughout Jambudvipa in one day. This is my wish.' As the verse praises: 'The great king is named Ashoka, from the previous eight stupas, each taking relics, in this Jambudvipa, establishing all the Buddha's stupas, eighty thousand and four thousand, both in length and width, they are exceptionally wonderful, all completed in one day.' At that time, the senior monk said to the king: 'Excellent! Great King! On the lunar eclipse fifteen days from now, let all the stupas be erected in Jambudvipa.' Thus, in one day, eighty-four thousand stupas were built. The people of the world rejoiced immeasurably, and together called him Dharma Ashoka. As the verse praises: 'The king is of the holy peacock lineage, bringing peace to the people of the world, in this Jambudvipa, establishing wonderful stupas, originally called the evil king, now creating wonderful deeds, together called the Dharma King, passed down through the generations.'

「王已建八萬四千塔,歡喜踴躍,將諸群臣往詣雞雀精舍,白耶舍上座曰:『更有比丘,佛所授記,當作佛事不?我當往詣彼所供養恭敬。』

English version 『The king had built eighty-four thousand pagodas, and, filled with joy, he led his ministers to the Chicken-Sparrow Monastery, saying to the Venerable Upasaka Yasha: 『Are there any other monks who have been prophesied by the Buddha to perform Buddha's work? I should go to them to offer my respect and veneration.』 The Venerable replied: 『When the Buddha was about to enter Nirvana, he subdued the Apalala Dragon King, the potter Chandala, and the Gopali Dragon.』 He went to the country of Mathura and told Ananda: 『One hundred years after my Nirvana, there will be an elder named Gota, whose son will be named Upagupta. He will leave home to study the Way, and his teaching of the formless Buddha Dharma will be the foremost. He will perform Buddha's work.』 The Buddha said to Ananda: 『Do you see that mountain in the distance?』 Ananda replied to the Buddha: 『I see it, World Honored One!』 The Buddha told Ananda: 『That mountain is called Urumanda, and it is a place of solitude called Nadapavati, which is conducive to tranquility.』 And he praised it with a verse: 『The monk Upagupta, Is the foremost in teaching, His fame will spread in all directions, He is the one who is prophesied to be the most excellent, After my passing, He will perform Buddha's work, He will liberate all sentient beings, Their number will be limitless.』 At that time, the king asked the Venerable: 『Has the Venerable Upagupta already appeared in the world?』 The Venerable replied: 『He has already appeared, left home to study the Way, subdued his afflictions, and is an Arhat. He resides in the solitude of the Urumanda Mountain with eighteen thousand monks, his retinue. He pities sentient beings, and like the Buddha, he proclaims the pure and wonderful Dharma, liberating countless gods and humans, leading them into the city of nectar.』 Upon hearing this, the king was filled with joy and immediately ordered his ministers to prepare the royal carriage and lead his countless retinue to that place to pay respect and offer veneration to Upagupta. At that time, a minister said to the king: 『Since that sage is within the kingdom, it would be appropriate to send a messenger to invite him. He will come on his own.』

「王即遣信,往彼尊者所言:『某日當來尊所。』時,尊者思惟:『若王來者,無量將從,受諸大苦,逼殺害微蟲、聚落人民。』作是念已,答使者曰:『我當自往詣王所。』時,王聞尊者自來,歡喜踴躍,從摩偷羅至巴連弗邑,于其中間,開安舟航,于航懸諸幢蓋。

「時,尊者優波崛愍念王故,將一萬八千阿羅漢眾,隨於水道徑至王國。時,國中人啟王言:『尊者優波崛將一萬八千比丘眾來至。』

「王聞,大歡喜踴躍,即脫瓔珞,價直千萬,而授與之。王將諸大臣眷屬,即出往尊者所,即為下食,五體投地,向彼作禮,長跪合掌,而作是言:『我今領此閻浮提,受于王位,不以為喜;今睹尊者,踴躍無量,如來弟子,乃能如是,如睹于佛。』而說偈言:

「『寂滅已度世,  汝今作佛事,   世間愚癡滅,  如日照佛世,   為世作導師,  說法中第一,   眾生可依怙,  我今大歡喜。』

「時,王敕使者宣令國界:『尊者優波崛比丘今來此國

『國王回答大臣說:『不應該派使者去他那裡,應當親自前往,他不應該來。』並說了偈語: 『你長著金剛舌,怎麼能不斷壞,勸我不要去他那裡,親近鄉下人。』 『國王就派使者,去那位尊者那裡說:『某日我將去尊者那裡。』當時,尊者心想:『如果國王來,會有無數人跟隨,遭受各種痛苦,逼迫殺害微小的蟲子、村落人民。』這樣想后,回答使者說:『我應當親自去見國王。』當時,國王聽說尊者親自來,歡喜雀躍,從摩偷羅到巴連弗邑,在其中間,開闢了水路,在船上懸掛了各種旗幟和傘蓋。 『當時,尊者優波崛憐憫國王,帶領一萬八千阿羅漢僧眾,沿著水路直接到達王國。當時,國中有人稟告國王說:『尊者優波崛帶領一萬八千比丘僧眾來了。』 『國王聽了,非常歡喜雀躍,立刻脫下價值千萬的瓔珞,送給他們。國王帶領各位大臣眷屬,立刻出去迎接尊者,為他準備食物,五體投地,向他行禮,長跪合掌,說道:『我如今統治著閻浮提,接受王位,並不覺得歡喜;今天見到尊者,歡喜無量,如來弟子,竟然能如此,如同見到佛陀。』並說了偈語: 『寂滅已經度過世間,你現在做著佛的事業,世間的愚癡消滅了,如同太陽照耀佛陀的時代,為世人做導師,說法第一,眾生可以依靠,我今天非常歡喜。』 『當時,國王命令使者向全國宣告:『尊者優波崛比丘現在來到我國』

『The king replied to his minister, 『It is not appropriate to send a messenger to him; I should go myself. He should not come here.』 And he spoke a verse: 『You have a tongue of diamond, how can it not be broken? You advise me not to go to him, to be close to a country person.』 『The king then sent a messenger to the Venerable One, saying, 『I will come to the Venerable One on a certain day.』 At that time, the Venerable One thought, 『If the king comes, countless people will follow, suffering all kinds of pain, forcing the killing of tiny insects and the people of villages.』 Having thought this, he replied to the messenger, 『I should go to the king myself.』 At that time, the king, hearing that the Venerable One was coming himself, was overjoyed. From Mathura to Pataliputra, he opened a waterway in between, and hung various banners and canopies on the boats. 『At that time, the Venerable Upagupta, out of compassion for the king, led eighteen thousand Arhats along the waterway directly to the kingdom. At that time, someone in the kingdom reported to the king, 『The Venerable Upagupta has arrived with eighteen thousand monks.』 『Upon hearing this, the king was overjoyed and immediately took off a necklace worth millions and gave it to them. The king, along with his ministers and family, immediately went out to greet the Venerable One, prepared food for him, prostrated himself, paid homage, knelt with palms together, and said, 『I now rule Jambudvipa, and I do not find joy in receiving the throne; today, seeing the Venerable One, my joy is boundless. A disciple of the Tathagata is able to be like this, as if seeing the Buddha.』 And he spoke a verse: 『Having passed beyond the world into Nirvana, you now do the work of the Buddha. The ignorance of the world is extinguished, like the sun shining in the Buddha's era. You are a guide for the world, the foremost in teaching the Dharma, a refuge for all beings. Today, I am greatly joyful.』 『At that time, the king ordered the messenger to proclaim throughout the kingdom, 『The Venerable Upagupta Bhikkhu has now come to our country.』

English version:

They sang thus:

'Those who desire wealth and honor, to be far from poverty and suffering, To always dwell in heavenly bliss, and to attain liberation and Nirvana, Should meet Upagupta, practice reverence and make offerings, Those who have not seen the Buddhas, may now behold Upagupta.'

At that time, the king adorned the kingdom, leveled the roads, hung banners and canopies, burned incense, scattered flowers, and played various musical instruments. The people of the entire country came out to welcome Venerable Upagupta, making offerings and showing respect.

Then, Venerable Upagupta said to the king, 'Great King! You should govern and teach with the righteous Dharma, have compassion for all beings. The Three Jewels are rare to encounter. Towards the Three Jewels, always make offerings and show respect, practice mindfulness and praise, and widely proclaim it to others. Why is this so? The Tathagata, the Arhat, the Samyaksambuddha, knowing and seeing people, always records and says: "My righteous Dharma is entrusted to the king, and to my monastic community of monks."' And he spoke a verse:

'The world's hero, the honored among people, the truly supreme and wonderful Dharma, Is entrusted to the Great King, and to my monastic community of monks.'

At that time, the king said to Upagupta, 'I have already established the righteous Dharma.' And he spoke a verse:

'I have built many pagodas, adorned all the kingdoms, In various ways, I have made offerings, with banners, canopies, and various treasures, Widely distributed the Buddha's relics, throughout Jambudvipa, I have accumulated such merit, and all my wishes are fulfilled, My own self, my wife and children, treasures and this land, Now I have given them all away, to make offerings to the pagodas of the sages.'

Then, Venerable Upagupta praised the king, saying, 'Excellent! Excellent! Great King, you should practice such Dharma.' And he spoke a verse:

'Giving up body, wealth, and life, in every life, there will be no sorrow, Receiving blessings without end, one will surely attain unsurpassed enlightenment.' English version:

They chanted thus:

'Those who wish for wealth and honor, to be far from poverty and suffering, To always dwell in heavenly bliss, and to attain liberation and Nirvana, Should meet Upagupta, practice reverence and make offerings, Those who have not seen the Buddhas, may now behold Upagupta.'

At that time, the king adorned the borders of the kingdom, smoothed the roads, hung silken banners and canopies, burned incense, scattered flowers, and played various musical instruments. The people of the entire country came out to welcome Venerable Upagupta, making offerings and showing respect.

「時,王請尊者優波崛入城,設種種座,請尊者就座,眾僧令往雞雀精舍。白尊者曰:『尊者顏貌端正,身體柔軟,而我形體醜陋,肌膚粗澀。』

「尊者說偈曰:

「『我行佈施時,  凈心好財物,   不如王行施,  以沙施於佛。』

「時,王以偈報曰:

「『我于童子時,  佈施于沙土,   今獲果如是,  何況餘妙施。』

「尊者復以偈贊曰:

「『快哉善大王,  佈施諸沙土,   無上福田中,  植果無窮盡。』

「時,阿育王告諸大臣:『我以沙佈施于佛,獲其果報如是。云何而不修敬於世尊?』王復白優波崛言:『尊者!示我佛所,說法、遊行處所,當往供養禮拜,為諸後世眾生攝受善根。』而說偈言:

「『示我佛說法,  諸國及住處,   供養當脩敬,  為后眾生故。』

「尊者言:『善哉!善哉!大王能發妙愿,我當示王處所,為后眾生。』

「時,王將四兵軍眾,及持種種供養香華、幡幢,及諸伎樂,便將尊者發去

現代漢語譯本 當時,國王請優波崛尊者入城,設定各種座位,請尊者就座,眾僧則前往雞雀精舍。他們對尊者說:『尊者容貌端正,身體柔和,而我們形體醜陋,面板粗糙。』 尊者說偈語道: 『我行佈施時,內心清凈,喜歡財物,不如國王行佈施,用沙子佈施給佛。』 當時,國王用偈語迴應說: 『我年幼時,曾佈施沙土,如今獲得這樣的果報,何況其他美好的佈施呢。』 尊者又用偈語讚歎道: 『真是快樂啊,偉大的國王,佈施那些沙土,在無上的福田中,種下的果實無窮無盡。』 當時,阿育王告訴各位大臣:『我用沙子佈施給佛,獲得的果報尚且如此。怎麼能不尊敬世尊呢?』國王又對優波崛說:『尊者!請您指示佛陀說法、居住的地方,我將前往供養禮拜,為後世眾生積累善根。』並說偈語道: 『請您指示佛陀說法,以及各個國家和居住的地方,我將供養並脩敬,爲了後世的眾生。』 尊者說:『好啊!好啊!大王能發出如此美好的願望,我將指示您佛陀的處所,爲了後世的眾生。』 當時,國王率領四方軍隊,帶著各種供養的香花、幡幢,以及各種樂器,便帶著尊者出發了。

English version At that time, the king invited the Venerable Upagupta into the city, prepared various seats, and invited the Venerable to be seated, while the monks went to the Chicken and Sparrow Monastery. They said to the Venerable, 'Venerable, your appearance is dignified, and your body is gentle, while our forms are ugly, and our skin is rough.' The Venerable spoke in verse: 'When I practice giving, my heart is pure, and I like material things, but it is not as good as the king's giving, who gave sand to the Buddha.' At that time, the king responded with a verse: 'When I was a child, I gave sand, and now I receive such a reward, how much more so with other wonderful giving.' The Venerable again praised with a verse: 'How joyful, great king, to give those sands, in the supreme field of merit, the fruits planted are endless.' At that time, King Ashoka told his ministers, 'I gave sand to the Buddha, and the reward I received is like this. How can I not respect the World Honored One?' The king then said to Upagupta, 'Venerable! Show me the places where the Buddha taught the Dharma and resided, I will go to make offerings and pay homage, to accumulate good roots for future generations.' And he spoke in verse: 'Show me where the Buddha taught the Dharma, and the various countries and places of residence, I will make offerings and pay respect, for the sake of future beings.' The Venerable said, 'Good! Good! Great King, you can make such a wonderful wish, I will show you the Buddha's places, for the sake of future beings.' At that time, the king led the four divisions of his army, carrying various offerings of incense, flowers, banners, and various musical instruments, and then set off with the Venerable.

The Venerable said to the king: 『Great King, do you wish to see the place where the gods saw the Buddha take seven steps at birth?』 The king replied: 『I very much wish to see it.』 At that time, the Venerable raised his hand, pointed to the branch of the tree that Maya was holding onto, and said to the tree spirit: 『Tree spirit! Appear now, let the king see, and generate great joy.』 The tree spirit immediately appeared, stood beside the Venerable, and said: 『What are your instructions? I shall obey.』 The Venerable told the king: 『This spirit witnessed the Buddha』s birth.』 The king asked the tree spirit in verse: 『You saw the adorned body, at birth there were blue lotuses, the feet walked seven steps, what was said from the mouth?』 The tree spirit replied in verse: 『I saw the body with excellent marks, at birth the two-legged honored one, the feet took seven steps, words were spoken from the mouth, among gods and humans, I am the unsurpassed one.』 At that time, the king asked the tree spirit: 『What auspicious signs were there when the Buddha was born?』 The tree spirit replied: 『I cannot fully describe the subtle and excellent events, now I will briefly say a little: 『The light can thoroughly illuminate, the body is complete with excellent marks, making people joyful to see, moving heaven and earth.』 At that time, the king heard what the tree spirit said, was very happy, gave ten thousand taels of treasure and left. The Venerable then led the king into the city, saying: 『This is the place where the Bodhisattva manifested the thirty-two marks and eighty minor marks, adorning his body, appearing in the color of purple gold.』

'At that time, the king paid homage to this place and made various offerings.' 'Then they took the king to the heavenly temple and told him: 'When the prince was born, he was made to pay homage to the gods there. At that time, all the gods paid homage to the Bodhisattva. At that time, the people gave the Bodhisattva a name, and now he is the 'Heaven of Heavens.' At that time, the king again made various offerings.' 'They also pointed to a place and told the king: 'This is where the father king showed the Bodhisattva to the Brahmins to observe his appearance and virtues.' The king again made various offerings.' 'They also pointed out: 'This is the Bodhisattva's school, here he learned to ride elephants, here he learned to ride horses, carriages, and archery. Like this, the place where he learned all kinds of skills, this is where the Bodhisattva cultivated himself, this is where the Bodhisattva's sixty thousand consorts played, this is where the Bodhisattva saw the old, the sick, and the dead. This is where the Bodhisattva sat under the Jambudvipa tree, meditated and attained detachment, the shadow of the tree did not leave his body, and the father king paid homage to him. This is where the Bodhisattva led hundreds of thousands of heavenly beings and left the city. This is where the Bodhisattva took off his necklace, gave it to Channa, and sent the horse back to the country.' And they spoke a verse: 'The Bodhisattva here, took off his necklace and crown, gave them to Channa, sent the horse back to the country, alone without a companion, and then entered the mountains to learn the Way.' 'Also, this is where the Bodhisattva exchanged his clothes for a kasaya from a hunter, and after wearing this garment, he left home. This is where the hermits made requests, this is where King Bimbisara offered half of his kingdom to the Bodhisattva, this is where he questioned the sage Udraka Ramaputra, this is where the Bodhisattva practiced asceticism for six years.' As the verse says: 'Practiced asceticism for six years, endured extreme suffering, knew this was not the true path, and abandoned what he had practiced.' 'Here, two women offered milk porridge to the Bodhisattva, as the verse says:' 'The Great Sage here, received milk porridge from two women, and from there he arose and went to the Bodhi tree.'

English version 'Here, the four heavenly kings each held a bowl, offering it to the Buddha, combining into one bowl. This is where the merchant brothers received their meals. This is where, when the Tathagata went to the country of Varanasi, the ascetic Ashibha questioned the Buddha. This is the Deer Park of the hermitage, where the Tathagata turned the twelve-spoked wheel of Dharma three times for the five monks. And he spoke a verse saying:' '「Here in the Deer Park, the Tathagata turned the wheel of Dharma, three turns of twelve spokes, five people attained the path.」' 'At that time, the king made various offerings at this place, and erected pagodas and temples.'

Here is where the Tathagata preached to King Bimbisara, and the king attained the truth, and countless people and gods attained the path. Here is where the Tathagata preached to Indra, and Indra and eighty thousand gods attained the path. Here is where the Tathagata displayed great divine power, performing various transformations. Here is where the Tathagata went to heaven, preached to his mother, and led countless heavenly beings down to the human world.' 'The king again made various offerings, and erected pagodas and temples.' 'At that time, the Venerable one told King Ashoka, upon reaching the country of Kushinagar, saying: 「Here is where the Tathagata completed his Buddha work, and entered Parinirvana without remainder.」 And he spoke a verse saying:' '「Delivering gods and humans, asuras, dragons, and yakshas, establishing the endless Dharma, the Buddha's work is finished. In existence, he attained tranquility, with great compassion entered Nirvana, like a fire extinguished when the fuel is gone, ultimately attaining permanence.」' 'At that time, the king heard these words, and was distressed and confused, falling to the ground.

English version: At that time, the Venerable One said to the king, 'Excellent! Excellent! Your Majesty is able to generate such a wonderful aspiration.' Then, the Venerable One took the king to Shravasti, entered the Jetavana Monastery, and pointed to a stupa, saying, 'This is the stupa of the Venerable Shariputra; Your Majesty should make offerings.' The king asked, 'What merits does he possess?' The Venerable One replied, 'He is the second Dharma King, following the turning of the Dharma wheel.' And he spoke a verse: 'The wisdom of all sentient beings, compared to Shariputra, is only one-sixteenth, excluding the wisdom of the Tathagata. The Tathagata turns the Dharma wheel, and he is able to follow it. He has immeasurable merits; who can fully proclaim them?' At that time, the king was greatly delighted, offered one hundred thousand taels of precious jewels to the stupa, and spoke a verse: 'I pay homage to Shariputra, who liberates from all fears, whose name is known throughout the world, and whose wisdom is unparalleled.' Next, he pointed to the stupa of Maha Maudgalyayana, saying, 'Your Majesty should make offerings to this stupa.' The king again asked, 'What merits does he possess?' The Venerable One replied, 'He is foremost in supernatural powers. With a toe, he can shake the earth, even reaching the heavenly palace, and subdue the Nanda and Upananda dragon kings.' And he spoke a verse: 'With a toe, he can shake the earth, even reaching the palace of Indra. His supernatural powers are unparalleled; who can fully proclaim them? The two fierce dragon kings, whom all who see them fear, he subdued with his supernatural powers, pacifying their anger.' At that time, the king offered one hundred thousand taels of precious jewels to this stupa, and praised it with a verse: 'Foremost in supernatural powers, free from old age, sickness, and death, possessing such merits, I now pay homage to Maudgalyayana.' Next, he pointed to the stupa of Maha Kasyapa, and said to the king, 'This is the stupa of Maha Kasyapa; you should make offerings.'

「次,復示尊者薄拘羅塔:『此是薄拘羅塔,應當供養。』王問曰:『彼有何功德?』尊者答曰:『彼無病第一,乃至不為人說一句法,寂然無言。』王曰:『以一錢供養。』諸臣白王:『功德既等,何故於此供養一錢?』王告之曰:『聽吾所說:

「『雖除無明癡,  智慧能鑑察,   雖有薄拘名,  於世何所益?』

English version: The king asked, 'What merits does he possess?' The answer was, 'He is content with few desires, foremost in ascetic practices, the Tathagata bestowed upon him half a seat and a sanghati robe, he pities sentient beings, and establishes the true Dharma.' Then he spoke a verse: 'First in the field of merit, compassionate to the poor, wearing the Buddha's sanghati robe, able to establish the true Dharma, he has such merits, who can fully proclaim them?' At that time, the king offered one hundred thousand taels of precious jewels to the stupa, and praised it with a verse: 'Always delighting in tranquility, dwelling in forests and thickets, content with few desires and rich in contentment, now I pay homage to Mahakasyapa.' Next, he pointed to the stupa of Venerable Bakula, saying, 'This is the stupa of Bakula, it should be venerated.' The king asked, 'What merits does he possess?' The Venerable replied, 'He is foremost in being free from illness, and never even spoke a single word of Dharma to anyone, remaining silent.' The king said, 'Offer one coin.' The ministers said to the king, 'Since the merits are equal, why offer only one coin to this stupa?' The king told them, 'Listen to what I say:' 'Though he has eliminated ignorance and delusion, and his wisdom can discern, though he has the name Bakula, what benefit is there to the world?' At that time, the one coin returned to the king. Then, the ministers, seeing this rare event, praised him in unison, 'Oh! Venerable one! Content with few desires, he does not even need one coin.' Again, he pointed to the stupa of Ananda, telling the king, 'This is the stupa of Ananda, it should be venerated.' The king said, 'What merits does he possess?' The answer was, 'This person was the attendant of the Buddha, foremost in learning, and compiled the Buddhist scriptures.'


。』而說偈曰:

「『奉持牟尼缽,  念至能決斷,   多聞之大海,  辯才柔軟音,   能悅天人眾,  善知三佛心,   一切悉明瞭,  功德之寶篋。   最勝所稱歎,  降伏煩惱諍,   如是等功德,  應當修供養。』

「王即舍百億兩珍寶,而供養其塔。

「時,諸臣白王言:『何故於此佈施供養皆悉勝前?』王曰:『聽吾所說心中所以:

「『如來之體身,  法身性清凈,   彼悉能奉持,  是故供養勝。   法燈常存世,  滅此愚癡冥,   皆由從彼來,  是故供養勝。   如大海之水,  牛跡所不容,   如是佛智海,  餘人不能持。   唯有阿難尊,  一聞悉受持,   終無忘失時,  是故供養勝。』

「爾時,王如是種種供養,向尊者合掌,而作是言:

「『我今受此形,  不復負此身,   修無量功德,  今為人中主,   我今取堅實,  造立諸塔廟,   莊嚴在於世,  如星莊嚴月,   奉佛弟子法,  應行諸禮節,   我今悉已作,  稽首尊者足,   蒙尊者恩力,  今見勝妙事,   快獲大善利,  從是分別法。』

「爾時,王供養上種種事,恒偏至菩提道場樹

現代漢語譯本 然後,他說了偈語: 『奉持牟尼的缽,唸誦直至能夠決斷, 如大海般廣博的知識,辯才如柔軟的音聲, 能夠使天人和大眾喜悅,善於瞭解三世佛的心意, 一切都明瞭通達,是功德的寶藏。 最殊勝的被稱讚,降伏煩惱的爭鬥, 像這樣的功德,應當修習供養。』 國王隨即捨棄百億兩珍寶,用來供養佛塔。 當時,眾臣對國王說:『為什麼這次的佈施供養都勝過之前?』國王說:『聽我說我心中的想法: 『如來的身體,法身本性清凈, 他都能夠奉持,因此供養他最為殊勝。 佛法之燈常存於世,熄滅愚癡的黑暗, 這一切都從他而來,因此供養他最為殊勝。 如同大海的水,牛蹄印不能容納, 佛的智慧之海也是如此,其他人不能夠領受。 只有阿難尊者,一聽就能全部接受並記住, 最終都不會遺忘,因此供養他最為殊勝。』 當時,國王像這樣進行種種供養,向尊者合掌,並說道: 『我今生受此身形,不再辜負此身, 修習無量的功德,如今成為人中的君主, 我今已獲得堅實的依靠,建造各種佛塔廟宇, 莊嚴地屹立於世間,如同星辰點綴月亮, 奉行佛陀弟子的教法,應當遵循各種禮節, 我如今都已做到,向尊者頂禮, 蒙受尊者的恩德,如今得見殊勝的景象, 快速獲得巨大的善利,從此能夠分辨佛法。』 當時,國王供養各種珍貴物品,經常前往菩提道場樹。

English version Then, he spoke in verse: 'Holding the Muni's bowl, reciting until able to decide, Knowledge as vast as the ocean, eloquence like a soft voice, Able to please gods and people, well understanding the minds of the three Buddhas, Everything is clear and understood, a treasure of merits. The most excellent one praised, subduing the strife of afflictions, Such merits as these, should be cultivated and offered to.' The king then gave away a hundred billion treasures to offer to the pagoda. At that time, the ministers said to the king, 'Why are these offerings and donations superior to the previous ones?' The king said, 'Listen to what I have in my heart: 'The body of the Tathagata, the Dharma body is pure in nature, He is able to uphold all, therefore offering to him is most superior. The lamp of Dharma always exists in the world, extinguishing the darkness of ignorance, All of this comes from him, therefore offering to him is most superior. Like the water of the ocean, which a cow's hoofprint cannot contain, So is the ocean of Buddha's wisdom, which others cannot hold. Only Venerable Ananda, upon hearing, can receive and remember all, And will never forget, therefore offering to him is most superior.' At that time, the king made various offerings, clasped his hands towards the Venerable, and said: 'I have received this form in this life, and will not fail this body, Cultivating immeasurable merits, now I am the ruler among men, I have now obtained a firm foundation, building various pagodas and temples, Adorning the world, like stars adorning the moon, Following the teachings of the Buddha's disciples, I should observe all the rituals, I have now done all of this, bowing my head to the Venerable's feet, Receiving the Venerable's grace, I now see the magnificent scene, Quickly obtaining great benefits, from this I can distinguish the Dharma.' At that time, the king offered various precious things, and constantly went to the Bodhi tree at the Bodhi field.


。此樹下如來得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,世間希有珍寶供養之事,供養菩提樹。

「時,王夫人名曰低舍羅絺多,夫人作是念:『王極愛念於我,我亦念王,王今舍我去,持諸珍寶至菩提樹間。我今當作方便殺是菩提樹,樹既枯死,葉便凋落,王當不復往,彼可與我常相娛樂。』即喚咒師,語咒師言:『汝能殺菩提樹不?』彼答曰:『能,與我千兩金。』

「時,夫人即與千兩金錢。咒師往菩提樹間,以咒咒樹以綖系樹。時,樹漸漸枯死,葉即萎落,未即枯死,其葉凋落。白夫人曰:『復應以熱乳澆樹,乃可令枯。』夫人白王:『我今欲以乳供養菩提樹。』王曰:『隨卿意耶!』如是乃至以熱乳澆之,樹即枯燥。

「時,諸夫人白王言:『菩提樹忽然枯死,葉葉變落。』而說偈言:

「『如來所依樹,  名曰菩提者,   於是得正覺,  具足一切智,   大王今當知,  是樹今枯死,   葉色亦變異,  不知何以故。』

「時,王聞是語,即迷悶擗地,諸人輩以水澆王心面,良久而穌,即便泣淚言:

「『我見菩提樹,  便見於如來,   今聞彼樹死,  我今亦隨沒。』

「時,彼夫人見王憂愁不樂,而白王言:『主勿憂惱,我當喜悅王心

現代漢語譯本 『如果如來在這棵樹下證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,世間稀有的珍寶供養之事,就應該供養這棵菩提樹。』 當時,國王的夫人名叫低舍羅絺多,夫人心想:『國王非常愛我,我也愛國王,但現在國王卻要離開我,拿著各種珍寶到菩提樹那裡去。我應該想個辦法把這棵菩提樹殺死,樹一旦枯死,樹葉就會凋落,國王就不會再去那裡了,他就可以和我長相廝守了。』於是她叫來一個咒師,對咒師說:『你能殺死菩提樹嗎?』咒師回答說:『能,給我一千兩黃金。』 當時,夫人就給了咒師一千兩黃金。咒師來到菩提樹旁,用咒語詛咒這棵樹,並用繩子纏繞樹身。當時,樹漸漸枯死,樹葉也開始凋落,但還沒有完全枯死,只是樹葉凋落了。咒師告訴夫人說:『還應該用熱牛奶澆樹,才能讓它枯死。』夫人告訴國王說:『我現在想用牛奶供養菩提樹。』國王說:『隨你的意願吧!』就這樣,夫人用熱牛奶澆樹,樹就枯死了。 當時,各位夫人告訴國王說:『菩提樹突然枯死了,樹葉也一片片地掉落。』她們還說了偈語: 『如來所依的樹,名字叫做菩提樹, 如來在這樹下證得正覺,具足一切智慧。 大王您應該知道,這棵樹現在枯死了, 樹葉的顏色也變了,不知道是什麼原因。』 當時,國王聽到這些話,立刻昏迷倒地,眾人用水澆在國王的臉上,過了很久才甦醒過來,然後就哭著說: 『我看到菩提樹,就好像看到了如來, 現在聽說那棵樹死了,我也要隨之消亡。』 當時,那位夫人看到國王憂愁不樂,就對國王說:『大王不要憂愁煩惱,我一定會讓您高興起來。』

English version 'If the Tathagata attains Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi under this tree, the offering of rare and precious treasures in the world should be made to the Bodhi tree.' At that time, the king's wife, named Disara-chita, thought: 'The king loves me very much, and I also love the king, but now the king is leaving me, taking various treasures to the Bodhi tree. I should find a way to kill this Bodhi tree. Once the tree dies, its leaves will fall, and the king will not go there anymore. He can stay with me forever.' So she called a sorcerer and said to him: 'Can you kill the Bodhi tree?' The sorcerer replied: 'Yes, give me a thousand taels of gold.' At that time, the wife gave the sorcerer a thousand taels of gold. The sorcerer went to the Bodhi tree, cursed the tree with spells, and wrapped the tree with ropes. At that time, the tree gradually withered, and the leaves began to fall, but it had not completely withered, only the leaves had fallen. The sorcerer told the wife: 'You should also pour hot milk on the tree to make it wither.' The wife told the king: 'I now want to offer milk to the Bodhi tree.' The king said: 'As you wish!' In this way, the wife poured hot milk on the tree, and the tree withered. At that time, the other wives told the king: 'The Bodhi tree has suddenly withered, and the leaves are falling one by one.' They also spoke in verses: 'The tree on which the Tathagata relied, named the Bodhi tree, Under this tree, the Tathagata attained enlightenment, possessing all wisdom. Your Majesty should know that this tree is now withered, The color of the leaves has also changed, and we do not know why.' At that time, when the king heard these words, he immediately fainted and fell to the ground. The people poured water on the king's face, and after a long time, he woke up, and then cried and said: 'When I see the Bodhi tree, it is as if I see the Tathagata, Now that I hear that the tree has died, I will also perish with it.' At that time, the wife, seeing that the king was sad and unhappy, said to the king: 'Your Majesty, do not be sad and troubled, I will surely make you happy.'


。』王曰:『若無彼樹,我命亦無。如來於彼樹得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,彼樹既無,我何用活耶?』

「夫人聞王決定語,還復以冷乳灌菩提樹下,彼樹尋復更生。王聞以乳溉灌樹還得生,日日送千甕乳溉灌其本,樹還復如先。諸夫人輩白王言:『菩提樹今復如先,無復有異。』

「時,王聞已,即生歡喜,詣菩提樹下,睹于菩提樹,目不暫舍,而說偈言:

「『諸王所未作,  瓶沙持國者,   我今應供養,  我今浴菩提。   諸乳及香水,  華香及涂香,   當復供養僧,  賢聖五部眾。』

「時,王各辦四寶甕,金、銀、琉璃、頗梨,盛諸香乳,及諸香湯,持種種飲食,幡幢、寶蓋各有千種,及種種花香伎樂,受持八支齋布薩,著白凈衣服,執持香爐,在於殿上,向四方作禮,心念口言:『如來賢聖弟子在諸方者,憐愍我故,受我供養

現代漢語譯本 國王說:『如果沒有那棵樹,我的生命也就沒有意義了。如來在那棵樹下證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,那棵樹既然沒有了,我活著還有什麼用呢?』 夫人聽了國王堅決的話,又用冷牛奶澆灌菩提樹下,那棵樹隨即又重新生長出來。國王聽說用牛奶澆灌樹還能復生,就每天送去一千甕牛奶澆灌樹根,樹又恢復了原來的樣子。各位夫人稟告國王說:『菩提樹現在又恢復了原來的樣子,沒有絲毫差異了。』 當時,國王聽了之後,立刻心生歡喜,來到菩提樹下,看著菩提樹,眼睛片刻也不離開,並且說了偈語: 『其他國王所沒有做過的,瓶沙持國者,我現在應當供養,我現在沐浴菩提樹。 用各種牛奶和香水,鮮花香和涂香,應當再次供養僧眾,賢聖五部眾。』 當時,國王各自準備了四寶甕,金、銀、琉璃、水晶,盛滿各種香乳,以及各種香湯,拿著各種飲食,幡幢、寶蓋各有千種,以及各種花香伎樂,受持八支齋戒,穿著潔白的衣服,拿著香爐,在殿堂上,向四方作禮,心中默唸口中說道:『如來的賢聖弟子在各方的,可憐我,接受我的供養吧。』

English version The king said, 'If that tree is gone, my life is meaningless. The Tathagata attained Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi under that tree. Since that tree is no more, what use is there for me to live?' The queen, hearing the king's resolute words, again poured cold milk at the base of the Bodhi tree, and the tree immediately grew back. The king, upon hearing that the tree could be revived by pouring milk, sent a thousand urns of milk daily to water its roots, and the tree returned to its former state. The ladies reported to the king, 'The Bodhi tree is now restored to its original state, without any difference.' At that time, the king, upon hearing this, was immediately filled with joy. He went to the Bodhi tree, gazed upon it without taking his eyes off it for a moment, and spoke these verses: 'What other kings have not done, the king of Bimbisara, I should now offer, I now bathe the Bodhi tree. With various milks and fragrant waters, flower fragrances and scented ointments, I should again make offerings to the Sangha, the five groups of noble ones.' At that time, the king prepared four jeweled urns each, of gold, silver, lapis lazuli, and crystal, filled with various fragrant milks and fragrant waters, holding various foods, banners, and jeweled canopies, each in thousands, as well as various flower fragrances and music. He observed the eight precepts of fasting, wore pure white clothes, held a censer, and in the palace hall, bowed to the four directions, silently thinking and speaking aloud: 'May the Tathagata's noble disciples in all directions, have compassion on me and accept my offerings.'


。』而說偈言:

「『如來賢聖子,  正順寂諸根,   離諸三界欲,  諸天應供養,   今當悉來集,  受我微心惠,   哀愍副我意,  令法種增長,   常樂於寂止,  解脫諸所著,   如來之真子,  從法而化生,   諸天所供養,  哀愍於我故,   今當悉來集,  副我之微意,   諸聖在處處,  罽賓多波婆,   大林離波多,  阿耨大池邊,   江河山藪間,  如是一切處,   諸聖在中者,  今當悉來集,   哀愍於我故,  副我之微意,   又在於天上,  尸梨沙宮殿,   香山石室中,  神通具足者,   今當悉來集,  哀愍於我故。』

「時,王如是語時,三十萬比丘悉來集。彼大眾中十萬是阿羅漢,二十萬是學人及凡夫比丘,上座之座無人坐。

「時,王問諸比丘:『上座之座,云何而無人坐?』時,彼大眾中有一比丘,名曰耶舍,是大阿羅漢,具足六通,白王言:『此座,上座之座,餘者豈敢於中而坐?』

「王復問曰:『于尊者所,更有上座耶?』尊者答曰:『更有上座,大王!佛之所說,名曰賓頭盧,是上座,應坐此處

現代漢語譯本:於是,國王說了這樣的偈語:『如來賢聖的弟子們,能夠端正地控制自己的感官,遠離三界中的慾望,是諸天應該供養的對象。現在請都來這裡聚集,接受我微薄的敬意,請慈悲地迴應我的心意,使佛法種子得以增長。他們常常安於寂靜,解脫一切執著,是如來的真子,從佛法中化生。他們是諸天所供養的,爲了憐憫我,現在請都來這裡聚集,迴應我微薄的心意。各位聖者,無論在罽賓、多波婆,還是大林離波多,或者阿耨大池邊,江河山林之間,所有這些地方,凡是有聖者在的,現在請都來這裡聚集,爲了憐憫我,迴應我微薄的心意。還有在天上,尸梨沙宮殿,香山石室中,那些神通具足的聖者,現在請都來這裡聚集,爲了憐憫我。』 當時,國王說完這些話,三十萬比丘都聚集來了。這大眾中有十萬是阿羅漢,二十萬是還在學習的比丘和凡夫比丘,上座的座位沒有人坐。 當時,國王問眾比丘:『上座的座位,為什麼沒有人坐呢?』當時,大眾中有一位比丘,名叫耶舍,是一位大阿羅漢,具有六神通,他告訴國王說:『這個座位是上座的座位,其他人怎麼敢坐呢?』 國王又問:『在尊者您這裡,還有更上座的人嗎?』尊者回答說:『還有更上座的人,大王!佛所說的,名叫賓頭盧,是上座,應該坐在這裡。』

English version: Then, the king spoke these verses: 'The virtuous and noble disciples of the Tathagata, who can rightly control their senses, are free from the desires of the three realms, and are worthy of the offerings of the gods. Now, please all gather here, accept my humble respect, and compassionately respond to my intentions, so that the seeds of the Dharma may grow. They are always content in stillness, liberated from all attachments, are the true children of the Tathagata, born from the Dharma. They are the ones whom the gods offer to, and out of compassion for me, please all gather here now, and respond to my humble intentions. All the sages, whether in Kasmira, Tapovana, or the great forest of Lipata, or by the Anavatapta Lake, among rivers, mountains, and forests, in all these places, wherever there are sages, please all gather here now, out of compassion for me, and respond to my humble intentions. Also, in the heavens, in the Sirisa palaces, in the stone chambers of Fragrant Mountain, those sages who possess supernatural powers, please all gather here now, out of compassion for me.' At that time, when the king had spoken these words, three hundred thousand monks had gathered. Among this assembly, one hundred thousand were Arhats, and two hundred thousand were monks still in training and ordinary monks. The seat of the senior monk was unoccupied. At that time, the king asked the monks: 'Why is the seat of the senior monk unoccupied?' Then, among the assembly, there was a monk named Yasa, a great Arhat, possessing the six supernatural powers, who said to the king: 'This seat is the seat of the senior monk, how could others dare to sit there?' The king then asked: 'Among you, venerable one, is there a more senior monk?' The venerable one replied: 'There is a more senior monk, O King! The one spoken of by the Buddha, named Pindola, is the senior monk, and should sit here.'


。』

「王大歡喜,而作是言:『于中有比丘見佛者不?』尊者答曰:『有也,大王!賓頭盧者,猶故在世。』

「王復白曰:『可得見彼比丘不?』尊者曰:『大王!不久當見,尋當來至。』

「時,王生大歡喜,而說偈言:

「『我今快得利,  攝受於我故,   令我自目見,  尊者賓頭盧。』

「時,尊者賓頭盧將無量阿羅漢,次第相隨。譬如雁王乘虛而來,在於上座處坐。諸比丘僧各修禮敬,次第而坐。

「時,王見尊者賓頭盧頭髮皓白,辟支佛體,頭面禮足,長跪合掌,睹尊者顏貌,而說偈言:

「『我今之王位,  統領閻浮提,   不以為歡喜,  今得見尊者,   我今見尊者,  便是見生佛,   心懷大踴躍,  勝見於王位。』

「復白尊者曰:『尊者見世尊耶?三界所尊仰。』

「時,尊者賓頭盧以手舉眉毛,視王而言:

「『我見於如來,  於世無譬類,   身作黃金色,  三十二相好,   面如凈滿月,  梵音聲柔軟,   伏諸煩惱諍,  常處於寂滅。』

「王復問曰:『尊者何處見佛?』尊者曰:『如來將五百阿羅漢,俱初在王舍城安居,我爾時亦覆在中

現代漢語譯本 國王非常高興,說道:『這裡面有見過佛的比丘嗎?』尊者回答說:『有的,大王!賓頭盧尊者,仍然在世。』 國王又問:『可以見到那位比丘嗎?』尊者說:『大王!不久就能見到,他很快就會來。』 當時,國王非常高興,並說了偈語: 『我今天真是幸運, 因為他來攝受我, 讓我親眼見到, 尊者賓頭盧。』 當時,尊者賓頭盧帶領著無數的阿羅漢,依次跟隨而來。就像雁王乘空而來一樣,坐在了上座的位置。眾比丘僧侶各自行禮,然後依次坐下。 當時,國王看到尊者賓頭盧頭髮雪白,像辟支佛的體態,頭面禮拜他的腳,長跪合掌,看著尊者的容貌,並說了偈語: 『我現在的王位, 統治著閻浮提, 都不覺得歡喜, 今天能見到尊者, 我今天見到尊者, 就像見到活佛一樣, 心中非常激動, 勝過擁有王位。』 又對尊者說:『尊者見過世尊嗎?三界所尊敬仰的。』 當時,尊者賓頭盧用手抬起眉毛,看著國王說: 『我見過如來, 在世間沒有可以比擬的, 身體是金色的, 有三十二種相好, 面容像皎潔的滿月, 梵音柔和, 降伏了一切煩惱爭鬥, 常處於寂靜涅槃。』 國王又問:『尊者在何處見到佛的?』尊者說:『如來帶領五百阿羅漢,最初在王舍城安居,我當時也在其中。』

English version The king was overjoyed and said, 『Are there any monks here who have seen the Buddha?』 The venerable one replied, 『Yes, Your Majesty! The venerable Pindola is still alive.』 The king then asked, 『Can I see that monk?』 The venerable one said, 『Your Majesty! You will see him soon; he will arrive shortly.』 At that time, the king was very happy and spoke a verse: 『I am truly fortunate today, Because he comes to embrace me, Allowing me to see with my own eyes, The venerable Pindola.』 At that time, the venerable Pindola led countless Arhats, following in order. Like a goose king flying through the air, he sat in the highest seat. The monks each paid their respects and then sat down in order. At that time, the king saw that the venerable Pindola』s hair was snow-white, with the appearance of a Pratyekabuddha. He bowed his head to his feet, knelt with his palms together, looked at the venerable one』s face, and spoke a verse: 『My current kingship, Ruling over Jambudvipa, Does not bring me joy, Today I can see the venerable one, Today I see the venerable one, It is like seeing a living Buddha, My heart is greatly moved, More than having a kingdom.』 He then said to the venerable one, 『Venerable one, have you seen the World Honored One? The one revered by the three realms.』 At that time, the venerable Pindola raised his eyebrows with his hand, looked at the king, and said: 『I have seen the Tathagata, In the world, there is no comparison, His body is golden in color, With thirty-two marks of excellence, His face is like a pure full moon, His Brahma voice is gentle, He has subdued all afflictions and strife, And is always in peaceful Nirvana.』 The king then asked, 『Where did the venerable one see the Buddha?』 The venerable one said, 『The Tathagata led five hundred Arhats, and initially stayed in Rajagriha for the rainy season retreat, and I was among them at that time.』


。』而說偈言:

「『大牟尼世尊,  離欲相圍繞,   在於王舍城,  結于夏三月。   我時在彼眾,  恒住如來邊,   大王今當知,  我目見真佛。』

「『又復,佛住舍衛國時,如來大作神力,種種變化,作諸佛形,滿在諸方,乃至阿迦尼吒天,我爾時亦在於中,見如來種種變化神通之相。』而說偈言:

「『如來神通力,  降伏諸外道,   佛游於十方,  我親見彼相。』

「『又復,如來在天上與母說法時,我亦在於中;與母說法竟,將諸天眾從天上來,下僧迦奢國。時,我見此二事。天人受福樂,優波羅比丘尼化作轉輪聖王,將無量眷屬,乘空而來,詣世尊所,我亦見此。』而說偈言:

「『如來在天上,  于彼結夏坐,   我亦在於中,  牟尼之眷屬。』

「『又復,世尊住舍衛國,五百阿羅漢俱。時,給孤獨長者女適在於富樓那跋陀那國。時,彼女請佛及比丘僧。時,諸比丘各乘空而往彼,我爾時以神力合大山,往彼受請。時,世尊責我:「汝那得現神足如是?我今罰汝,常在於世,不得取涅槃,護持我正法,勿令滅也

現代漢語譯本:然後他說了偈語: 『偉大的牟尼世尊,遠離慾望的束縛,在王舍城度過三個月的夏季安居。當時我在那個僧團中,一直住在如來身邊,大王您應當知道,我親眼見到了真正的佛陀。』 『還有,佛陀在舍衛國時,如來大顯神通,變化出各種各樣的佛像,遍佈各個方向,甚至到達阿迦尼吒天。那時我也在其中,見到了如來種種變化神通的景象。』然後他說了偈語: 『如來的神通力,降伏了各種外道,佛陀游化於十方,我親眼見到了那些景象。』 『還有,如來在天上為母親說法時,我也在其中;為母親說法完畢后,帶領諸天眾從天上下來,降臨到僧迦奢國。當時,我見到了這兩件事。天人享受福樂,優波羅比丘尼化作轉輪聖王,帶領無數眷屬,乘空而來,前往世尊所在之處,我也見到了這些。』然後他說了偈語: 『如來在天上,在那裡結夏安居,我也在其中,是牟尼的眷屬。』 『還有,世尊住在舍衛國,與五百阿羅漢在一起。當時,給孤獨長者的女兒嫁到了富樓那跋陀那國。那時,她邀請佛陀和比丘僧。當時,各位比丘各自乘空前往那裡,我當時用神通力合攏大山,前往那裡接受邀請。當時,世尊責備我說:「你為何顯現如此神通?我現在懲罰你,讓你常住世間,不得入涅槃,護持我的正法,不要讓它滅亡。」』

English version: Then he spoke in verses: 'The great Muni, the World Honored One, free from the bonds of desire, spent the three months of the summer retreat in Rajagriha. At that time, I was in that assembly, always staying by the Tathagata's side. Great King, you should know, I saw the true Buddha with my own eyes.' 'Furthermore, when the Buddha was in Shravasti, the Tathagata displayed great spiritual powers, transforming into various forms of Buddhas, filling all directions, even reaching the Akanishta Heaven. At that time, I was also among them, witnessing the Tathagata's various transformations and miraculous powers.' Then he spoke in verses: 'The Tathagata's spiritual power subdued all the heretics. The Buddha traveled in the ten directions, and I personally witnessed those sights.' 'Furthermore, when the Tathagata was in heaven teaching his mother, I was also among them; after finishing teaching his mother, he led the heavenly assembly down from heaven, descending to the country of Samkasya. At that time, I saw these two events. The heavenly beings enjoyed blessings and happiness, and the Bhikkhuni Utpalavarna transformed into a Chakravartin King, leading countless followers, coming through the air to where the World Honored One was. I also saw these things.' Then he spoke in verses: 'The Tathagata was in heaven, observing the summer retreat there. I was also among them, a member of Muni's retinue.' 'Furthermore, the World Honored One was staying in Shravasti, together with five hundred Arhats. At that time, the daughter of the elder Anathapindika was married in the country of Purnabhadra. At that time, she invited the Buddha and the Bhikkhu Sangha. At that time, the Bhikkhus each traveled there through the air. At that time, I used my spiritual power to merge a great mountain, going there to accept the invitation. At that time, the World Honored One rebuked me, saying: 'Why did you display such spiritual powers? I now punish you, making you stay in the world, not to enter Nirvana, to protect my true Dharma, and not let it perish.'


。」』而說偈曰:

「『世尊受彼請,  五百比丘俱,   時我以神力,  挑大山而去,   世尊責罰我,  住世未滅度,   護持我正法,  勿令法沒盡。』

「『又復,如來將諸比丘僧入城乞食。時,王共二童子沙土中戲,逢見佛來,捧于塵沙,奉上于佛。時,世尊記彼童子:「於我滅度百歲之後,此童子于巴連弗邑當受王位,領閻浮提,名曰阿育。當廣佈我舍利,一日之中,當造八萬四千塔。」今王身是也。我爾時亦在於中。』而說偈曰:

「『王于童子時,  以沙奉上佛,   佛記于王時,  我亦親在中。』

「時,王白尊者曰:『尊者今住在何處?』尊者答王曰:『在於北山,山名揵陀摩羅,共諸同梵行僧。』

「王復問曰:『有幾眷屬?』尊者答:『六萬阿羅漢比丘。』尊者曰:『王何須多問?今當施設供養于僧。食竟,使王歡喜。』王言:『如是,尊者!然我今先當供養佛念所覺菩提之樹,然後香美飲食施設於僧。』敕諸群臣,唱令國界:『王今舍十萬兩金佈施眾僧,千甕香湯溉灌菩提樹,集諸五眾。』

「時,王子名曰拘那羅,在王右邊,舉二指而不言說,意欲二倍供養

現代漢語譯本:然後他說了偈語: 『世尊接受了他的邀請,與五百比丘一同前往, 當時我用神力,挑起大山離去, 世尊責罰我,讓我住世不滅度, 護持我的正法,不要讓佛法滅盡。』

『又,如來帶領眾比丘僧入城乞食。當時,國王和兩個童子在沙土中玩耍,遇到佛陀前來,捧起塵沙,奉獻給佛陀。當時,世尊預言那個童子:『在我滅度百年之後,這個童子將在巴連弗邑接受王位,統治閻浮提,名叫阿育。他將廣泛傳播我的舍利,一天之內,將建造八萬四千座佛塔。』現在的國王就是他。我當時也在其中。』然後說了偈語:

『國王在童子時,用沙奉獻給佛陀, 佛陀預言國王時,我也親身在場。』

當時,國王對尊者說:『尊者現在住在哪裡?』尊者回答國王說:『在北山,山名犍陀摩羅,和各位同修僧人在一起。』

國王又問:『有多少眷屬?』尊者回答:『六萬阿羅漢比丘。』尊者說:『大王何必多問?現在應當為僧眾設定供養。用齋完畢,讓大王歡喜。』國王說:『好的,尊者!但我現在先要供養佛陀證悟菩提的菩提樹,然後用香美的飲食供養僧眾。』於是命令各位大臣,在全國宣告:『國王現在捨棄十萬兩黃金佈施給僧眾,用千甕香湯澆灌菩提樹,召集所有五眾。』

當時,王子名叫拘那羅,在國王右邊,舉起兩根手指而不說話,意思是想要加倍供養。

English version: Then he spoke in verse: 'The World Honored One accepted his invitation, and went with five hundred bhikkhus, At that time, I used my divine power to lift a great mountain and leave, The World Honored One punished me, making me stay in the world without passing away, To protect my true Dharma, and not let it be extinguished.'

'Also, the Tathagata led the assembly of bhikkhus into the city to beg for alms. At that time, the king and two young boys were playing in the sand, and when they saw the Buddha coming, they took handfuls of sand and offered it to the Buddha. At that time, the World Honored One prophesied about that boy: 'A hundred years after my passing, this boy will receive the throne in Pataliputra, rule Jambudvipa, and be named Ashoka. He will widely spread my relics, and in one day, he will build eighty-four thousand stupas.' The current king is that person. I was also there at that time.' Then he spoke in verse:

'When the king was a boy, he offered sand to the Buddha, When the Buddha prophesied about the king, I was also present.'

At that time, the king said to the Venerable One: 'Where does the Venerable One reside now?' The Venerable One replied to the king: 'On the north mountain, named Gandhamadana, with all the fellow monks.'

The king then asked: 'How many followers do you have?' The Venerable One replied: 'Sixty thousand Arhat bhikkhus.' The Venerable One said: 'Why does the king ask so much? Now we should set up offerings for the Sangha. After the meal, let the king be joyful.' The king said: 'Yes, Venerable One! But now I will first make offerings to the Bodhi tree where the Buddha attained enlightenment, and then offer fragrant and delicious food to the Sangha.' Then he ordered all the ministers to proclaim throughout the kingdom: 'The king is now giving away one hundred thousand taels of gold to the Sangha, using a thousand urns of fragrant water to irrigate the Bodhi tree, and gathering all five assemblies.'

At that time, the prince named Kunala, was on the king's right side, raised two fingers without speaking, meaning he wanted to double the offering.


。大眾見之,皆盡發笑,王亦發笑,而語言:『嗚呼!王子!乃有增益功德供養。』

「王復言:『我復以三十萬兩金供養眾僧,復加千甕香湯,洗浴菩提樹。』時,王子復舉四指,意在四倍。

「時,王瞋恚,語臣曰:『誰教王子作是事,與我興競?』臣啟王言:『誰敢與王興競?然王子聰慧利根,增益功德,故作是事耳!』

「時,王右顧視王子,白上座曰:『除我庫藏之物,餘一切物,閻浮提夫人、婇女、諸臣、眷屬,及我拘那羅子,皆悉佈施賢聖眾僧,唱令國界,集諸五眾。』而說偈曰:

「『除王庫藏物,  夫人及婇女,   臣民一切眾,  佈施賢聖僧,   我身及王子,  亦復悉舍與。』

「時,王、上座及比丘僧,以甕香湯洗浴菩提樹。

「時,菩提樹倍復嚴好,增長茂盛,以偈頌曰:

「『王浴菩提樹,  無上之所覺,   樹增于茂盛,  柯條葉柔軟。』

「時,王及諸群臣生大歡喜。

「時,王洗浴菩提樹已,次復供養眾僧。時,彼上座耶舍語王言:『大王!今大有比丘僧集,當發淳信心供養。』時,王從上至下,自手供養。

「時,彼有二沙彌,得食已,各以麨團歡喜丸,更互相擲。王見即笑而言:『此沙彌作小兒戲

現代漢語譯本 眾人見了,都大笑起來,國王也笑了,並說道:『哎呀!王子!你這是在增加功德供養啊。』 國王又說:『我再用三十萬兩黃金供養眾僧,再加一千甕香湯,洗浴菩提樹。』這時,王子又舉起四根手指,意思是四倍。 這時,國王生氣了,對大臣說:『是誰教王子做這種事,與我爭競?』大臣稟告國王說:『誰敢與您爭競呢?只是王子聰慧敏銳,爲了增加功德,所以才這樣做罷了!』 這時,國王向右邊看了看王子,對上座說:『除了我的庫藏之物,其餘一切東西,閻浮提的夫人、宮女、各位大臣、眷屬,以及我的拘那羅王子,都全部佈施給賢聖眾僧,通告全國,召集所有僧眾。』並說了偈語: 『除了國王的庫藏之物,夫人和宮女,臣民一切大眾,都佈施給賢聖僧,我的身體和王子,也全部捨棄。』 這時,國王、上座和比丘僧,用香湯洗浴菩提樹。 這時,菩提樹更加莊嚴美好,生長茂盛,並用偈語頌道: 『國王洗浴菩提樹,無上覺悟之所,樹木更加茂盛,枝條葉片柔軟。』 這時,國王和各位大臣都非常歡喜。 這時,國王洗浴菩提樹后,接著又供養眾僧。這時,那位上座耶舍對國王說:『大王!現在有許多比丘僧聚集,應當以純凈的信心供養。』這時,國王從上到下,親自供養。 這時,有兩位沙彌,得到食物后,各自拿著歡喜丸,互相投擲。國王看見了就笑著說:『這兩個沙彌在玩小孩子游戲。』

English version When the crowd saw this, they all burst into laughter, and the king also laughed, saying, 『Oh! Prince! You are indeed increasing the merit of your offerings.』 The king then said, 『I will again offer three hundred thousand taels of gold to the monks, and add a thousand jars of fragrant water to bathe the Bodhi tree.』 At this, the prince raised four fingers again, meaning four times as much. At this, the king became angry and said to his ministers, 『Who taught the prince to do this, to compete with me?』 The ministers replied to the king, 『Who would dare to compete with you? It is just that the prince is intelligent and sharp, and he is doing this to increase his merit!』 Then, the king looked to his right at the prince and said to the chief monk, 『Except for the contents of my treasury, all other things, the ladies and concubines of Jambudvipa, all the ministers, relatives, and my son Kunala, I will give them all to the virtuous monks. Let it be proclaimed throughout the kingdom, and gather all the monks.』 And he spoke a verse: 『Except for the king's treasury, the ladies and concubines, all the ministers and people, I will give to the virtuous monks. My body and the prince, I will also give away.』 Then, the king, the chief monk, and the monks bathed the Bodhi tree with fragrant water. At this time, the Bodhi tree became even more magnificent and lush, and it was praised in a verse: 『The king bathes the Bodhi tree, the place of supreme enlightenment, the tree grows more lush, its branches and leaves are soft.』 Then, the king and all the ministers were greatly delighted. After the king had bathed the Bodhi tree, he then made offerings to the monks. At this time, the chief monk Yasha said to the king, 『Great King! Now there are many monks gathered, you should make offerings with pure faith.』 Then, the king personally made offerings from the top to the bottom. At this time, there were two novices who, after receiving food, each took a ball of barley flour and playfully threw them at each other. The king saw this and laughed, saying, 『These novices are playing children's games.』


。』供養訖已,王還上座前立。上座語王言:『王莫生不信敬心。』王答上座:『無有不敬心,然見二沙彌作小兒戲,如世間小兒,以土團更互相擲。如是二沙彌以麨團、以歡喜丸,更互相擲。』上座白王言:『彼二沙彌是俱解脫阿羅漢,更相奉食。』王聞是已,增其信心,而作是念:『此二沙彌能展轉相施,我今亦當於一切僧人施絹、劫貝。』

「時,二沙彌知王心所念,二沙彌共相謂言:『令王倍增敬信。』一沙彌持鑊授與王,一沙彌授以染草。王問彼沙彌:『用作何等?』二沙彌白王言:『王因我故,施與眾僧絹及劫貝,我欲令大王染成其色,施與眾僧。』

「時,王作是念:『我雖心念,口未發言。此二達士得他心智,而知我心。』王即稽首敬禮眾僧,而說偈言:

「『孔雀之族姓,  內外親眷屬,   因此惠施故,  悉皆獲大利,   遭值良福田,  歡喜應時施。』

「時,王語沙彌言:『我因汝等施僧衣,施僧衣已,復以三衣並四億萬兩珍寶,嚫五部眾;嚫愿已,復以四十億萬兩珍寶,贖取閻浮提宮人、婇女,及太子、群臣。』

「阿育王所作功德,無量如是

現代漢語譯本:供養完畢后,國王回到上座前站立。上座對國王說:『大王不要生起不敬畏的心。』國王回答上座:『我沒有不敬畏的心,只是看到兩位沙彌在做小孩子玩的遊戲,像世間的小孩一樣,用土塊互相投擲。而這兩位沙彌是用麵團、用歡喜丸互相投擲。』上座告訴國王:『那兩位沙彌是俱解脫的阿羅漢,他們是在互相供養食物。』國王聽了這話,更加增長了信心,心裡想:『這兩位沙彌能互相施捨,我現在也應當向所有僧人佈施絹和劫貝。』 當時,兩位沙彌知道國王心裡所想,他們互相說道:『讓國王更加敬信。』一位沙彌把鍋遞給國王,另一位沙彌遞給他染料草。國王問那兩位沙彌:『用這些做什麼?』兩位沙彌告訴國王:『大王因為我們的緣故,佈施給眾僧絹和劫貝,我們想讓大王把它們染成顏色,佈施給眾僧。』 當時,國王心裡想:『我雖然心裡想,但口裡沒有說出來。這兩位通達的人有他心通,能知道我的心。』國王立刻向眾僧頂禮,並說了偈語: 『孔雀的族姓,內外親眷屬,因此佈施的緣故,都獲得大利益,遇到良善的福田,應當及時歡喜佈施。』 當時,國王對沙彌說:『我因為你們的緣故佈施僧衣,佈施僧衣后,又用三衣和四億萬兩珍寶,供養五部僧眾;供養完畢后,又用四十億萬兩珍寶,贖回閻浮提的宮人、婇女,以及太子、群臣。』 阿育王所做的功德,無量無邊就是這樣。

English version: After the offerings were completed, the king returned to stand before the senior monk. The senior monk said to the king, 'Your Majesty, do not give rise to a lack of faith and respect.' The king replied to the senior monk, 'I have no lack of respect, but I saw two novices playing children's games, like worldly children, throwing clods of earth at each other. These two novices were throwing dough balls and joy-filled balls at each other.' The senior monk told the king, 'Those two novices are Arhats who have attained liberation together; they are offering food to each other.' Upon hearing this, the king's faith increased, and he thought, 'These two novices can give to each other, I should also give silk and fine linen to all the monks.' At that time, the two novices knew what the king was thinking, and they said to each other, 'Let's increase the king's faith and respect even more.' One novice handed a pot to the king, and the other handed him dye grass. The king asked the two novices, 'What are these for?' The two novices told the king, 'Your Majesty, because of us, you are giving silk and fine linen to the monks, we want you to dye them and give them to the monks.' At that time, the king thought, 'Although I thought it in my heart, I did not speak it out loud. These two enlightened ones have the ability to know others' minds and know my thoughts.' The king immediately bowed and paid respect to the monks, and spoke a verse: 'The peacock's lineage, both inner and outer relatives, because of this giving, all have obtained great benefit, having encountered a field of good fortune, one should joyfully give at the right time.' At that time, the king said to the novices, 'Because of you, I am giving robes to the monks, and after giving the robes, I will also offer three robes and four hundred million units of treasure to the five groups of monks; after the offering, I will also use four billion units of treasure to redeem the palace women, concubines, princes, and ministers of Jambudvipa.' The merits that King Ashoka accumulated are immeasurable, like this.

The Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 24

Translated by Tripitaka Master Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

The First Chapter of the Fifth Recitation on the Path

(605)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.

At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'There are four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four? They are the contemplation of the body in the body, the contemplation of feelings, the contemplation of the mind, and the contemplation of dharmas in dharmas.'

After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(606)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.

At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'There are four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four? They are the contemplation of the body in the body, the contemplation of feelings, the contemplation of the mind, and the contemplation of dharmas in dharmas. Thus, monks! You should learn to cultivate and fulfill these four foundations of mindfulness, diligently and skillfully, with right mindfulness and right knowledge.'

After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(607)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.

At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'There is one single path that purifies beings, enables them to transcend sorrow and grief, extinguishes suffering and pain, and attains the true reality, and that is the four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four? They are the contemplation of the body in the body, the contemplation of feelings, the contemplation of the mind, and the contemplation of dharmas in dharmas.'

After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(608)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘離四念處者,則離如實聖法;離如實聖法者,則離聖道;離聖道者,則離甘露法;離甘露法者,不得脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,我說彼于苦不得解脫。

「若比丘不離四念處者,得不離聖如實法;不離聖如實者,則不離聖道;不離聖道者,則不離甘露法;不離甘露法者,得脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,我說彼人解脫眾苦。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六〇九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說四念處集、四念處沒。諦聽,善思。何等為四念處集、四念處沒?食集則身集、食滅則身沒。如是隨身集觀住,隨身滅觀住,隨身集滅觀住,則無所依住,于諸世間永無所取。

「如是觸集則受集,觸滅則受沒。如是隨集法觀受住,隨滅法觀受住,隨集滅法觀受住,則無所依住,于諸世間都無所取。

「名色集則心集,名色滅則心沒。隨集法觀心住,隨滅法觀心住,隨集滅法觀心住,則無所依住,于諸世間則無所取。

「憶念集則法集,憶念滅則法沒。隨集法觀法住,隨滅法觀法住,隨集滅法觀法住,則無所依住,于諸世間則無所取

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘不修習四念處,就遠離了如實的聖法;遠離了如實的聖法,就遠離了聖道;遠離了聖道,就遠離了甘露法;遠離了甘露法,就不能解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,我說這樣的人不能從痛苦中解脫。』 『如果比丘不遠離四念處,就能不遠離如實的聖法;不遠離如實的聖法,就不遠離聖道;不遠離聖道,就不遠離甘露法;不遠離甘露法,就能解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,我說這樣的人能從一切痛苦中解脫。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (六〇九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說四念處的生起和四念處的滅沒。仔細聽,好好思考。什麼是四念處的生起和四念處的滅沒呢?食物的聚集導致身體的聚集,食物的滅盡導致身體的滅沒。這樣,觀察身體的聚集而安住,觀察身體的滅沒而安住,觀察身體的聚集和滅沒而安住,就能無所依住,在世間的一切事物中都無所執取。』 『同樣,接觸的聚集導致感受的聚集,接觸的滅盡導致感受的滅沒。這樣,觀察感受的聚集而安住,觀察感受的滅沒而安住,觀察感受的聚集和滅沒而安住,就能無所依住,在世間的一切事物中都無所執取。』 『名色的聚集導致心的聚集,名色的滅盡導致心的滅沒。這樣,觀察心的聚集而安住,觀察心的滅沒而安住,觀察心的聚集和滅沒而安住,就能無所依住,在世間的一切事物中都無所執取。』 『憶念的聚集導致法的聚集,憶念的滅盡導致法的滅沒。這樣,觀察法的聚集而安住,觀察法的滅沒而安住,觀察法的聚集和滅沒而安住,就能無所依住,在世間的一切事物中都無所執取。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu is separated from the four foundations of mindfulness, then he is separated from the true and noble Dharma; if he is separated from the true and noble Dharma, then he is separated from the noble path; if he is separated from the noble path, then he is separated from the nectar Dharma; if he is separated from the nectar Dharma, then he cannot be liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. I say that such a person cannot be liberated from suffering.' 'If a bhikkhu is not separated from the four foundations of mindfulness, then he is not separated from the true and noble Dharma; if he is not separated from the true and noble Dharma, then he is not separated from the noble path; if he is not separated from the noble path, then he is not separated from the nectar Dharma; if he is not separated from the nectar Dharma, then he can be liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. I say that such a person can be liberated from all suffering.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (609) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'I will now speak about the arising of the four foundations of mindfulness and the cessation of the four foundations of mindfulness. Listen carefully and contemplate well. What is the arising of the four foundations of mindfulness and the cessation of the four foundations of mindfulness? The accumulation of food leads to the accumulation of the body, and the cessation of food leads to the cessation of the body. Thus, dwelling in contemplation of the accumulation of the body, dwelling in contemplation of the cessation of the body, dwelling in contemplation of the accumulation and cessation of the body, one dwells without any dependence, and has no attachment to anything in the world.' 'Similarly, the accumulation of contact leads to the accumulation of feeling, and the cessation of contact leads to the cessation of feeling. Thus, dwelling in contemplation of the accumulation of feeling, dwelling in contemplation of the cessation of feeling, dwelling in contemplation of the accumulation and cessation of feeling, one dwells without any dependence, and has no attachment to anything in the world.' 'The accumulation of name and form leads to the accumulation of mind, and the cessation of name and form leads to the cessation of mind. Thus, dwelling in contemplation of the accumulation of mind, dwelling in contemplation of the cessation of mind, dwelling in contemplation of the accumulation and cessation of mind, one dwells without any dependence, and has no attachment to anything in the world.' 'The accumulation of memory leads to the accumulation of dharma, and the cessation of memory leads to the cessation of dharma. Thus, dwelling in contemplation of the accumulation of dharma, dwelling in contemplation of the cessation of dharma, dwelling in contemplation of the accumulation and cessation of dharma, one dwells without any dependence, and has no attachment to anything in the world.'


。是名四念處集、四念處沒。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六一〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我當說修四念處。諦聽,善思。云何修四念處?謂內身身觀念住,精勤方便,正智正念,調伏世間憂悲,外身、內外身觀住,精勤方便,正念正知,調伏世間憂悲。如是受、心、法,內法、外法、內外法觀念住,精勤方便,正念正知,調伏世間憂悲,是名比丘修四念處。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

過去、未來修四念處亦如是說。

(六一一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有善法聚、不善法聚。云何善法聚?所謂四念處,是為正說。所以者何?純一滿凈聚者,所謂四念處。云何為四?謂身身觀念處,受、心、法法觀念處。云何不善聚?不善聚者,所謂五蓋,是為正說。所以者何?純一逸滿不善聚者,所謂五蓋。何等為五?謂貪慾蓋、瞋恚蓋、睡眠蓋、掉悔蓋、疑蓋。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六一二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:這是名為四念處的集結,四念處的消滅。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六一〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我將要說如何修習四念處。仔細聽,好好思考。如何修習四念處呢?就是內心專注于觀察身體,精勤努力,運用正知正念,調伏世間的憂愁和悲傷;觀察外在的身體,以及內外在的身體,精勤努力,運用正念正知,調伏世間的憂愁和悲傷。同樣地,對於感受、心念、法,觀察內在的法、外在的法、以及內外在的法,精勤努力,運用正念正知,調伏世間的憂愁和悲傷,這就叫做比丘修習四念處。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 過去、未來修習四念處也是這樣說的。 (六一一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有善法聚集,也有不善法聚集。什麼是善法聚集呢?就是四念處,這是正確的說法。為什麼呢?因為純粹圓滿清凈的聚集,就是四念處。哪四種呢?就是觀察身體的念處,觀察感受、心念、法的念處。什麼是不善法聚集呢?不善法聚集就是五蓋,這是正確的說法。為什麼呢?因為純粹充滿不善的聚集,就是五蓋。哪五種呢?就是貪慾蓋、瞋恚蓋、睡眠蓋、掉悔蓋、疑蓋。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六一二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: This is the gathering of the four foundations of mindfulness, and the cessation of the four foundations of mindfulness. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (610) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'I will now speak about cultivating the four foundations of mindfulness. Listen carefully and contemplate well. How does one cultivate the four foundations of mindfulness? It is when one dwells contemplating the body internally, diligently and skillfully, with right knowledge and right mindfulness, subduing the sorrow and grief of the world; contemplating the body externally, and both internally and externally, diligently and skillfully, with right mindfulness and right knowledge, subduing the sorrow and grief of the world. Likewise, with regard to feelings, mind, and dharmas, contemplating internal dharmas, external dharmas, and both internal and external dharmas, diligently and skillfully, with right mindfulness and right knowledge, subduing the sorrow and grief of the world. This is called a monk cultivating the four foundations of mindfulness.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. The cultivation of the four foundations of mindfulness in the past and future is also spoken of in this way. (611) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'There are gatherings of wholesome dharmas and gatherings of unwholesome dharmas. What are the gatherings of wholesome dharmas? They are the four foundations of mindfulness, this is the correct explanation. Why is that? Because the gathering that is purely complete and pure is the four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four? They are the foundation of mindfulness of the body, the foundation of mindfulness of feelings, mind, and dharmas. What are the gatherings of unwholesome dharmas? The gatherings of unwholesome dharmas are the five hindrances, this is the correct explanation. Why is that? Because the gathering that is purely filled with unwholesomeness is the five hindrances. What are the five? They are the hindrance of desire, the hindrance of anger, the hindrance of sleepiness, the hindrance of restlessness and remorse, and the hindrance of doubt.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (612) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「如人執持四種強弓,大力方便射多羅樹影,疾過無閡。如是如來四種聲聞,增上方便,利根智慧,盡百年壽,于如來所百年說法教授,唯除食息、𥙷寫、睡眠,中間常說、常聽;智慧明利,于如來所說,盡底受持,無諸障閡,于如來所不加再問。如來說法無有終極,聽法盡壽,百歲命終,如來說法猶不能盡。當知如來所說無量無邊,名、句、味身亦復無量,無有終極,所謂四念處。何等為四?謂身念處,受、心、法念處。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

一切四念處經,皆以此總句,所謂「是故,比丘!於四念處修習,起增上欲,精勤方便,正念正智,應當學。」

(六一三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有不善聚、善聚。何等為不善聚?謂三不善根,是名正說。所以者何?純不善積聚者,謂三不善根。云何為三?謂貪不善根、恚不善根、癡不善根。云何為善聚?謂四念處。所以者何?純善滿具者,謂四念處,是名善說。云何為四?謂身念處,受、心、法念處。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本: 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如有人拿著四種強弓,用大力方便射擊多羅樹的影子,速度極快,毫無阻礙。同樣,如來的四種聲聞弟子,以增上的方便,銳利的智慧,即使活到一百歲,在如來處聽聞佛法教誨一百年,除了吃飯休息、大小便、睡覺,中間不停地說法、聽法;智慧明利,對於如來所說的法,完全接受領會,沒有絲毫障礙,對於如來所說的法不再重複提問。如來說法沒有窮盡,聽法者即使窮盡一生,活到百歲,如來說法仍然不能說完。應當知道如來說法是無量無邊的,名、句、味身也是無量的,沒有窮盡,這就是所謂的四念處。哪四種呢?就是身念處、受念處、心念處、法念處。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 一切四念處經,都以這句話作為總結,即『因此,比丘們!對於四念處要修習,生起增上欲,精勤方便,正念正知,應當學習。』

(六一三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有不善的聚集,也有善的聚集。什麼是不善的聚集呢?就是三種不善的根本,這是正確的說法。為什麼呢?純粹不善的積聚,就是三種不善的根本。哪三種呢?就是貪不善根、嗔不善根、癡不善根。什麼是善的聚集呢?就是四念處。為什麼呢?純粹善的圓滿具足,就是四念處,這是正確的說法。哪四種呢?就是身念處、受念處、心念處、法念處。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'It is like a person holding four strong bows, with great skill and ease shooting at the shadow of a tala tree, swiftly and without obstruction. Similarly, the four types of disciples of the Tathagata, with superior skill, sharp wisdom, even if they live to be a hundred years old, and listen to the Tathagata's teachings for a hundred years, except for eating, resting, excretion, and sleeping, constantly speaking and listening in between; with clear and sharp wisdom, they fully accept and understand what the Tathagata has said, without any obstruction, and do not ask the Tathagata again. The Tathagata's teachings are endless, and even if the listeners exhaust their lives, living to a hundred years old, the Tathagata's teachings still cannot be fully spoken. It should be known that the Tathagata's teachings are immeasurable and boundless, and the names, phrases, and meanings are also immeasurable and endless, which are called the four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four? They are the mindfulness of the body, the mindfulness of feelings, the mindfulness of the mind, and the mindfulness of the dharma.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. All sutras on the four foundations of mindfulness conclude with this summary statement: 'Therefore, bhikkhus! You should cultivate the four foundations of mindfulness, generate increased desire, diligently practice, with right mindfulness and right knowledge, you should learn.'

(613) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'There are unwholesome accumulations and wholesome accumulations. What are unwholesome accumulations? They are the three unwholesome roots, this is the correct explanation. Why is that? Purely unwholesome accumulations are the three unwholesome roots. What are the three? They are the unwholesome root of greed, the unwholesome root of hatred, and the unwholesome root of delusion. What are wholesome accumulations? They are the four foundations of mindfulness. Why is that? Purely wholesome and complete are the four foundations of mindfulness, this is the correct explanation. What are the four? They are the mindfulness of the body, the mindfulness of feelings, the mindfulness of the mind, and the mindfulness of the dharma.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.


如三不善根,如是三惡行——身惡行、口惡行、意惡行,三想——欲想、恚想、害想,三覺——欲覺、恚覺、害覺,三界——欲界、恚界、害界。

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六一四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!如所說『大丈夫』。云何名大丈夫、非大丈夫?」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!比丘能問如來大丈夫義。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。若比丘身身觀念住,彼身身觀念住已,心不離欲,不得解脫,盡諸有漏,我說彼非為大丈夫。所以者何?心不解脫故。若比丘受、心、法法觀念住,心不離欲,不得解脫,盡諸有漏,我不說彼為大丈夫。所以者何?心不解脫故。

「若比丘身身觀念住,心得離欲,心得解脫,盡諸有漏,我說彼為大丈夫也。所以者何?心解脫故。若受、心、法法觀念住,受、心、法法觀念住已,心離貪慾,心得解脫,盡諸有漏,我說彼為大丈夫也。所以者何?心解脫故。是名,比丘!大丈夫及非大丈夫。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,禮足而去

現代漢語譯本 就像三種不善的根源一樣,也有三種惡行——身體的惡行、語言的惡行、意念的惡行,三種想法——慾望的想法、嗔恨的想法、傷害的想法,三種感覺——慾望的感覺、嗔恨的感覺、傷害的感覺,三個界域——慾望的界域、嗔恨的界域、傷害的界域。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(***)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位比丘來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!您所說的「大丈夫」,怎樣才算是大丈夫,怎樣又不是大丈夫呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『好啊!好啊!比丘你能夠問如來關於大丈夫的意義。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。如果比丘在觀察身體時,心仍然沒有離開慾望,沒有得到解脫,沒有斷盡所有的煩惱,我說他不是大丈夫。為什麼呢?因為他的心沒有解脫。如果比丘在觀察感受、心念、法時,心仍然沒有離開慾望,沒有得到解脫,沒有斷盡所有的煩惱,我也不說他是大丈夫。為什麼呢?因為他的心沒有解脫。』 『如果比丘在觀察身體時,心能夠離開慾望,心能夠得到解脫,能夠斷盡所有的煩惱,我說他就是大丈夫。為什麼呢?因為他的心解脫了。如果比丘在觀察感受、心念、法時,心能夠離開貪慾,心能夠得到解脫,能夠斷盡所有的煩惱,我說他就是大丈夫。為什麼呢?因為他的心解脫了。這就是,比丘!大丈夫和非大丈夫的定義。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地隨喜,行禮后離去。

English version Just like the three unwholesome roots, there are also three evil actions—evil actions of body, evil actions of speech, and evil actions of mind; three thoughts—thoughts of desire, thoughts of hatred, and thoughts of harm; three feelings—feelings of desire, feelings of hatred, and feelings of harm; three realms—the realm of desire, the realm of hatred, and the realm of harm. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.

Then, a certain monk came to the Buddha, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, as it is said, 「a great man.」 What is called a great man, and what is not a great man?' The Buddha said to the monk, 'Good, good! It is good that you, a monk, can ask the Tathagata about the meaning of a great man. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. If a monk dwells contemplating the body in the body, and having dwelt contemplating the body in the body, his mind does not depart from desire, does not attain liberation, and does not exhaust all outflows, I say that he is not a great man. Why is that? Because his mind is not liberated. If a monk dwells contemplating feelings, mind, and dharmas in feelings, mind, and dharmas, and his mind does not depart from desire, does not attain liberation, and does not exhaust all outflows, I do not say that he is a great man. Why is that? Because his mind is not liberated.' 'If a monk dwells contemplating the body in the body, and his mind departs from desire, his mind attains liberation, and he exhausts all outflows, I say that he is a great man. Why is that? Because his mind is liberated. If a monk dwells contemplating feelings, mind, and dharmas in feelings, mind, and dharmas, and his mind departs from greed, his mind attains liberation, and he exhausts all outflows, I say that he is a great man. Why is that? Because his mind is liberated. This, monk, is the definition of a great man and not a great man.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and were pleased, and after paying their respects, they departed.

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者阿難晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,于路中思惟:「我今先至比丘尼寺。」即往比丘尼寺。

諸比丘尼遙見尊者阿難來,疾敷床座,請令就座。

時,諸比丘尼禮尊者阿難足,退坐一面,白尊者阿難:「我等諸比丘尼修四念處繫心住,自知前後升降。」

尊者阿難告諸比丘尼:「善哉!善哉!姊妹!當如汝等所說而學,凡修習四念處善繫心住者,應如是知前後升降。」

時,尊者阿難為諸比丘尼種種說法,種種說法已,從座起去。

爾時,尊者阿難於舍衛城中乞食還,舉衣缽,洗足已,詣世尊所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。以比丘尼所說具白世尊。

佛告阿難:「善哉!善哉!應如是學四念處善繫心住,知前後升降。所以者何?心於外求,然後制令求其心,散亂心、不解脫皆如實知。若比丘于身身觀念住,于彼身身觀念住已,若身耽睡,心法懈怠,彼比丘當起凈信,取于凈相,起凈信心;憶念凈相已,其心則悅,悅已生喜;其心喜已,身則猗息;身猗息已,則受身樂;受身樂已,其心則定

現代漢語譯本 (六一五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者阿難早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食,在路上思索:『我今天先去比丘尼寺。』就前往比丘尼寺。 眾比丘尼遠遠看見尊者阿難來了,趕緊鋪好床座,請他坐下。 當時,眾比丘尼禮拜尊者阿難的腳,退坐在一旁,對尊者阿難說:『我們這些比丘尼修習四念處,繫心安住,自己知道前後升降。』 尊者阿難告訴眾比丘尼:『好啊!好啊!姐妹們!應當像你們所說的那樣學習,凡是修習四念處,善於繫心安住的人,應當像這樣知道前後升降。』 當時,尊者阿難為眾比丘尼說了種種佛法,說完種種佛法后,就從座位起身離開了。 當時,尊者阿難在舍衛城中乞食回來,收好衣缽,洗完腳后,前往世尊那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。把比丘尼所說的話全部告訴了世尊。 佛告訴阿難:『好啊!好啊!應當像這樣學習四念處,善於繫心安住,知道前後升降。為什麼呢?心向外追求,然後制止它,讓它追求自己的心,散亂的心、不解脫的心,都如實知道。如果比丘在身上觀察身,安住于身身觀念,如果身體昏沉,心法懈怠,這位比丘應當生起清凈的信心,取清凈的相,生起清凈的信心;憶念清凈的相后,他的心就會喜悅,喜悅后就會生起喜樂;他的心喜樂后,身體就會輕安;身體輕安后,就會感受到身體的快樂;感受到身體的快樂后,他的心就會安定。』

English version (615) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, Venerable Ananda, in the morning, having dressed and taken his bowl, entered Savatthi to beg for alms. On the way, he thought, 'Today, I will first go to the nunnery.' And so he went to the nunnery. The nuns, seeing Venerable Ananda coming from afar, quickly spread out seats and invited him to sit down. Then, the nuns, having paid homage to Venerable Ananda's feet, sat down to one side and said to Venerable Ananda, 'We nuns, practicing the four foundations of mindfulness, dwell with our minds focused, and we know our progress and decline.' Venerable Ananda said to the nuns, 'Good! Good! Sisters! You should learn as you have said. Those who practice the four foundations of mindfulness, dwelling with their minds well-focused, should know their progress and decline in this way.' Then, Venerable Ananda taught the nuns in various ways. Having taught in various ways, he rose from his seat and departed. Then, Venerable Ananda, having returned from begging for alms in Savatthi, put away his robe and bowl, washed his feet, and went to the Blessed One. Having paid homage to the Buddha's feet, he sat down to one side. He told the Blessed One everything the nuns had said. The Buddha said to Ananda, 'Good! Good! One should learn in this way, practicing the four foundations of mindfulness, dwelling with the mind well-focused, and knowing progress and decline. Why is that? The mind seeks externally, and then one controls it, making it seek its own mind. One knows as it really is the scattered mind and the unliberated mind. If a bhikkhu dwells contemplating the body in the body, having dwelt contemplating the body in the body, if the body is drowsy and the mind is sluggish, that bhikkhu should arouse pure faith, take up a pure sign, and arouse pure faith; having recollected the pure sign, his mind will be joyful, and having joy, he will experience happiness; having happiness, his body will be tranquil; having tranquility, he will experience bodily pleasure; having experienced bodily pleasure, his mind will be concentrated.'


。心定者,聖弟子當作是學:『我於此義,外散之心攝令休息,不起覺想及已觀想,無覺無觀,舍念樂住;樂住已,如實知。』受、心、法念亦如是說。」

佛說此經已,尊者阿難聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六一六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當取自心相,莫令外散。所以者何?若彼比丘愚癡、不辨、不善,不取自心相而取外相,然後退減,自生障閡。譬如廚士愚癡、不辨,不善巧便調和眾味,奉養尊主,酸咸酢淡,不適其意。不能善取尊主所嗜,酸咸酢淡,眾味之和。不能親侍尊主左右,司其所須,聽其所欲,善取其心,而自用意調和眾味,以奉尊主。若不適其意,尊主不悅,不悅故不蒙爵賞,亦不愛念。愚癡比丘亦復如是,不辨、不善,于身身觀住,不能除斷上煩惱,不能攝取其心,亦復不得內心寂靜,不得勝妙正念正知,亦復不得四種增上心法、現法樂住、本所未得安隱涅槃,是名比丘愚癡、不辨、不善,不能善攝內心之相而取外相,自生障閡。

「若有比丘黠慧才辯,善巧方便,取內心已,然後取于外相,彼於後時終不退減,自生障閡

現代漢語譯本:心意安定的人,聖弟子應當這樣學習:『我對於這個道理,要將向外散亂的心收攝回來,不起覺想和已有的觀想,達到無覺無觀的狀態,捨棄雜念,安住于喜樂之中;安住于喜樂之後,如實地了知。』感受、心念、法念也應當這樣說。 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地接受並奉行。 (六一六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『應當攝取自己的心相,不要讓它向外散亂。為什麼呢?如果那個比丘愚癡、不明事理、不善巧,不攝取自己的心相而攝取外在的表象,之後就會退步減損,自己產生障礙。譬如廚師愚癡、不明事理、不善於調和各種味道,來奉養尊主,酸、咸、醋、淡,不合尊主的心意。不能很好地瞭解尊主所喜愛的,酸、咸、醋、淡,各種味道的調和。不能親自侍奉在尊主左右,管理他所需要的,聽從他的意願,善於瞭解他的心意,卻自作主張地調和各種味道,來奉養尊主。如果不能合他的心意,尊主就會不高興,不高興就不會得到賞賜,也不會被喜愛。愚癡的比丘也是這樣,不明事理、不善巧,在身觀身而住,不能去除上層的煩惱,不能攝取自己的心,也不能得到內心的寂靜,不能得到殊勝的正念正知,也不能得到四種增上心法、現法樂住、原本沒有得到的安穩涅槃,這就是比丘愚癡、不明事理、不善巧,不能很好地攝取內心的表象而攝取外在的表象,自己產生障礙。 『如果有比丘聰明有才辯,善於運用方便,攝取內心之後,然後再攝取外在的表象,他之後就不會退步減損,自己產生障礙。』

English version: A person whose mind is settled, a noble disciple should learn thus: 『Regarding this meaning, I will gather in my mind that scatters outwards, causing it to rest, not giving rise to thoughts or already formed conceptions, being without thought and without conception, abandoning distractions and dwelling in joy; having dwelt in joy, I will know it as it truly is.』 The same should be said of feelings, mind, and dharma. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. (616) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One addressed the monks: 『You should take hold of the image of your own mind, and not let it scatter outwards. Why is that? If that monk is foolish, undiscriminating, and unskilled, not taking hold of the image of his own mind but taking hold of external appearances, then he will decline and diminish, creating obstacles for himself. It is like a cook who is foolish, undiscriminating, and unskilled in harmonizing various flavors, offering them to his master, the sour, salty, vinegary, and bland, not suiting his master's taste. He cannot skillfully discern what his master likes, the sour, salty, vinegary, and bland, the harmony of various flavors. He cannot personally attend to his master's side, managing what he needs, listening to his desires, skillfully understanding his mind, but instead, he arbitrarily harmonizes various flavors to offer to his master. If it does not suit his taste, the master will be displeased, and because of his displeasure, he will not receive rewards or be loved. A foolish monk is also like this, undiscriminating and unskilled, dwelling in contemplation of the body, unable to eliminate the higher defilements, unable to gather in his own mind, and also unable to attain inner tranquility, unable to attain superior right mindfulness and right knowledge, and also unable to attain the four kinds of higher mind practices, the present-life dwelling in joy, and the secure Nirvana that was not previously attained. This is called a monk who is foolish, undiscriminating, and unskilled, unable to skillfully take hold of the image of his own mind but taking hold of external appearances, creating obstacles for himself.』 『If there is a monk who is clever and eloquent, skilled in using skillful means, having taken hold of his inner mind, and then taking hold of external appearances, he will not decline or diminish later, creating obstacles for himself.』


。譬如廚士黠慧聰辯,善巧方便,供養尊主,能調眾味,酸咸酢淡,善取尊主所嗜之相,而和眾味,以應其心,聽其尊主所欲之味,數以奉之,尊主悅已,必得爵祿,愛念倍重。如是黠慧廚士善取尊主之心,比丘亦復如是。身身觀念住,斷上煩惱,善攝其心,內心寂止,正念正知,得四增心法,現法樂住,得所未得安隱涅槃,是名比丘黠慧辯才,善巧方便,取內心相,攝持外相,終無退減,自生障閡,受、心、法觀亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六一七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時有一鳥,名曰羅婆,為鷹所捉,飛騰虛空,于空鳴喚言:『我不自覺,忽遭此難,我坐舍離父母境界而游他處,故遭此難。如何今日為他所困,不得自在。』鷹語羅婆:『汝當何處自有境界而得自在?』羅婆答言:『我于田耕壟中自有境界,足免諸難,是為我家父母境界。』

「鷹于羅婆起憍慢言:『放汝令去,還耕壟中,能得脫以不?』於是羅婆得脫鷹爪,還到耕壟大塊之下,安住止處,然後于塊上欲與鷹斗

現代漢語譯本:譬如一個聰慧機敏的廚師,善於運用各種巧妙的方法,來侍奉他的主人。他能調和各種味道,無論是酸、咸、醋、淡,都能準確地把握主人喜歡的口味,並以此來調配各種菜餚,以滿足主人的心意。他會仔細聆聽主人想要的味道,並多次奉上,主人因此感到高興,必然會給予他爵位和俸祿,更加喜愛和重視他。就像這樣,一個聰慧的廚師善於揣摩主人的心思,比丘也是如此。他專注于觀察自己的身體,斷除內心的煩惱,善於控制自己的心念,使內心平靜止息。他以正念和正知來修行,獲得四種增上心法,在當下體驗到安樂的境界,最終獲得從未有過的安穩涅槃。這就是比丘的聰慧和辯才,他善於運用各種巧妙的方法,來觀察自己的內心,並控制外在的言行,最終不會退步,也不會給自己製造障礙。對於感受、心念和法的觀察也是如此。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (六一七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去世的時候,有一隻鳥,名叫羅婆,被老鷹抓住了,在空中飛騰。它在空中鳴叫著說:「我沒有意識到,突然遭遇了這樣的災難。我因為離開了父母的領地,到其他地方遊玩,所以才遭遇了這樣的災難。今天我被它困住,不能自由。」老鷹對羅婆說:「你到哪裡才能有自己的領地,獲得自由呢?」羅婆回答說:「我在田地耕作的壟溝里有自己的領地,可以避免各種災難,那是我的家,也是我父母的領地。」』 『老鷹對羅婆產生了傲慢之心,說:「我放你走,讓你回到耕作的壟溝里,你就能逃脫嗎?」於是,羅婆掙脫了老鷹的爪子,回到了耕作壟溝的大土塊下面,安穩地停了下來。然後,它站在土塊上,想要和老鷹搏鬥。』

English version: For example, a clever and intelligent cook, skilled in various skillful means, serves his master. He can adjust all flavors, whether sour, salty, vinegary, or bland, accurately grasping the master's preferred tastes. He uses this to prepare various dishes to satisfy the master's heart. He carefully listens to the flavors the master desires and presents them repeatedly. The master, pleased, will surely grant him titles and rewards, loving and valuing him even more. Just like this, a clever cook is good at understanding his master's mind, and so is a bhikkhu. He focuses on observing his own body, cutting off inner afflictions, skillfully controlling his mind, and making his inner mind calm and still. He practices with right mindfulness and right knowledge, attaining the four enhancements of the mind, experiencing the bliss of the present moment, and ultimately achieving the never-before-attained peaceful Nirvana. This is the bhikkhu's cleverness and eloquence. He is skilled in using various skillful means to observe his own mind and control his external actions, ultimately not regressing or creating obstacles for himself. The observation of feelings, mind, and dharma is also the same. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, all the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (617) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'In the past, there was a bird named Lava, who was caught by a hawk and was flying in the sky. It cried out in the sky, saying, "I was not aware, and suddenly encountered this disaster. Because I left my parents' territory and went to other places to play, I encountered this disaster. Today, I am trapped by it and cannot be free." The hawk said to Lava, "Where can you have your own territory and gain freedom?" Lava replied, "In the furrows of the cultivated field, I have my own territory, which can avoid all disasters. That is my home and my parents' territory."' 'The hawk became arrogant towards Lava, saying, "I will let you go and return to the furrows of the cultivated field. Can you escape then?" Thereupon, Lava escaped from the hawk's claws and returned to the large clod of earth in the furrows of the cultivated field, where it rested securely. Then, it stood on the clod, wanting to fight the hawk.'


「鷹則大怒,彼是小鳥,敢與我鬥,瞋恚極盛,駿飛直搏,於是羅婆入于塊下,鷹鳥飛勢,臆沖堅塊,碎身即死。

「時,羅婆鳥深伏塊下,仰說偈言:

「『鷹鳥用力來,  羅婆依自界,   乘瞋猛盛力,  致禍碎其身。   我具足通達,  依于自境界,   伏怨心隨喜,  自觀欣其力。   設汝有兇愚,  百千龍象力,   不如我智慧,  十六分之一。   觀我智殊勝,  摧滅于蒼鷹。』

「如是,比丘!如彼鷹鳥,愚癡自舍所親父母境界,游於他處,致斯災患。汝等比丘亦應如是,于自境界所行之處,應善守持,離他境界,應當學。

「比丘!他處他境界者,謂五欲境界,眼見可意、受、念妙色,欲心染著;耳識聲、鼻識香、舌識味、身識觸,可意、受、念妙觸,欲心染著。是名比丘他處他境界。比丘!自處父母境界者,謂四念處。云何為四?謂身身觀念處,受、心、法法觀念處。是故,比丘!于自行處父母境界而自遊行,遠離他處他境界,應當學。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六一八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 老鷹非常憤怒,心想:『它不過是一隻小鳥,竟敢與我搏鬥!』它怒火中燒,猛地飛撲過去。這時,羅婆鳥躲到一塊石頭下面,老鷹飛速衝撞,胸部撞在堅硬的石頭上,頓時粉身碎骨,當場斃命。 當時,羅婆鳥深深地藏在石頭下面,仰頭說道: 『老鷹用盡全力來攻擊,羅婆鳥卻安守自己的地盤;它憑藉憤怒的強大力量,導致自己身亡。我完全通達事理,安守自己的領域;我心懷喜悅地看著仇敵,欣賞自己的力量。即使你愚蠢兇殘,擁有千百條龍象的力量,也不如我智慧的十六分之一。看我智慧多麼殊勝,竟然能摧毀蒼鷹!』 『比丘們!就像那隻老鷹一樣,愚蠢地捨棄自己父母的領地,跑到別處,招致這樣的災禍。你們這些比丘也應該這樣,在自己所行之處,要好好守護,遠離他人的領地,應當學習。』 『比丘們!他處他人的領地,指的是五欲的境界,眼睛看到喜歡的事物,心中產生感受、念頭和美好的想法,心生貪戀;耳朵聽到聲音、鼻子聞到香味、舌頭嚐到味道、身體感受到觸覺,這些都是令人喜歡、產生感受、念頭和美好的觸覺,使人心生貪戀。這叫做比丘他處他人的領地。比丘們!自己父母的領地,指的是四念處。什麼是四念處呢?就是身念處、受念處、心念處、法念處。因此,比丘們!要在自己所行之處,守護父母的領地,遠離他處他人的領地,應當學習。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (六一八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version The hawk was furious, thinking, 'It's just a small bird, how dare it fight me!' Consumed by anger, it swooped down. At that moment, the rova bird hid under a rock. The hawk crashed at full speed, its chest hitting the hard rock, instantly shattering its body and dying on the spot. Then, the rova bird, deeply hidden under the rock, looked up and said: 'The hawk came with all its might, but the rova bird stayed within its own territory; it relied on the fierce power of anger, leading to its own demise. I fully understand the truth, staying within my own domain; I watch my enemy with joy, admiring my own strength. Even if you are foolish and cruel, possessing the strength of a thousand dragons and elephants, you are not equal to one-sixteenth of my wisdom. See how superior my wisdom is, that I could destroy the hawk!' 'Monks! Just like that hawk, foolishly abandoning its parents' territory and going elsewhere, it brought about such disaster. You monks should also be like this, in your own place of practice, you must guard it well, stay away from others' territories, you should learn this.' 'Monks! The territory of others refers to the realm of the five desires: the eyes seeing pleasing things, giving rise to feelings, thoughts, and beautiful ideas, causing attachment; the ears hearing sounds, the nose smelling fragrances, the tongue tasting flavors, the body feeling touch, all these are pleasing, giving rise to feelings, thoughts, and beautiful sensations, causing attachment. This is called the territory of others for monks. Monks! The territory of one's own parents refers to the four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four foundations of mindfulness? They are mindfulness of the body, mindfulness of feelings, mindfulness of the mind, and mindfulness of phenomena. Therefore, monks! In your own place of practice, guard the territory of your parents, stay away from the territory of others, you should learn this.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (618) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「於四念處多修習,當得四果,四種福利。云何為四?謂須陀洹果、斯陀含果、阿那含果、阿羅漢果。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六一九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,于私伽陀聚落北身恕林中。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時有緣幢伎師,肩上豎幢,語弟子言:『汝等於幢上下向護我,我亦護汝,迭相護持,遊行嬉戲,多得財利。』時,伎弟子語伎師言:『不如所言,但當各各自愛護,遊行嬉戲,多得財利,身得無為安隱而下。』伎師答言:『如汝所言,各自愛護,然其此義亦如我說,己自護時即是護他,他自護時亦是護己;心自親近,修習隨護作證,是名自護護他。云何護他自護,不恐怖他、不違他、不害他,慈心哀彼,是名護他自護。』是故,比丘!當如是學。自護者修四念處,護他者亦修四念處。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六二〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「大雪山中,寒冰險處,尚無猿猴,況復有人。或復有山,猿猴所居,而無有人

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果能經常修習四念處,就能獲得四種果位,四種利益。哪四種呢?就是須陀洹果、斯陀含果、阿那含果和阿羅漢果。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,都歡喜地遵照奉行。

(六一九) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀在拘薩羅國的人間游化,住在私伽陀村落北邊的身恕林中。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去世時,有一個緣幢的雜技藝人,肩上豎著一根長竿,對他的弟子說:『你們在竿子的上下兩端互相保護我,我也保護你們,互相扶持,這樣表演嬉戲,就能獲得很多財利。』當時,雜技弟對雜技藝人說:『不如你說的,我們不如各自保護自己,這樣表演嬉戲,也能獲得很多財利,而且身體也能安穩地下來。』雜技藝人回答說:『就像你說的,各自保護自己,但這個道理也像我說的,自己保護自己的時候也就是在保護他人,他人保護自己的時候也就是在保護自己;內心親近,修習隨護作證,這叫做自己保護自己也保護他人。怎樣叫做保護他人也保護自己呢?就是不恐嚇他人、不違揹他人、不傷害他人,用慈悲心對待他們,這叫做保護他人也保護自己。』所以,比丘們!應當這樣學習。自己保護自己的人要修習四念處,保護他人的人也要修習四念處。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,都歡喜地遵照奉行。

(六二〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『在大雪山中,寒冷冰凍的險峻之地,尚且沒有猿猴居住,更何況是人呢。或者有的山,猿猴可以居住,卻沒有人類居住。

English version At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If you frequently cultivate the four foundations of mindfulness, you will attain the four fruits and four benefits. What are the four? They are the fruit of Stream-entry, the fruit of Once-returning, the fruit of Non-returning, and the fruit of Arahantship.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced accordingly.

(619) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the human realm of Kosala, residing in the Shinsu Grove north of the village of Sigadha. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'In the past, there was a rope-walking acrobat who held a pole on his shoulder and said to his disciple: 'You protect me from above and below on the pole, and I will protect you. By supporting each other, we can perform and have fun, and gain much profit.' At that time, the acrobat's disciple said to the acrobat: 'It's not as you say. We should each protect ourselves. By performing and having fun, we can also gain much profit, and our bodies can safely come down.' The acrobat replied: 'As you say, each protects themselves, but this principle is also as I said. When one protects oneself, one is also protecting others, and when others protect themselves, they are also protecting oneself; when the mind is close, cultivating and guarding, this is called protecting oneself and others. How is it that protecting others is also protecting oneself? It is by not frightening others, not opposing others, not harming others, and treating them with compassion. This is called protecting others and oneself.' Therefore, bhikkhus! You should learn in this way. Those who protect themselves should cultivate the four foundations of mindfulness, and those who protect others should also cultivate the four foundations of mindfulness.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced accordingly.

(620) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was residing in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagriha. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'In the great snowy mountains, in the cold and dangerous places, there are not even monkeys, let alone people. Or there are mountains where monkeys live, but no humans live.'


。或復有山,人獸共居,于猿猴行處,獵師以黐膠涂其草上,有黠猿猴遠避而去,愚癡猿猴不能遠避,以手小觸,即膠其手;復以二手欲解求脫,即膠二手;以足求解,復膠其足;以口嚙草,輒復膠口。五處同膠,聯捲臥地。獵師既至,即以杖貫,擔負而去。

「比丘當知,愚癡猿猴舍自境界父母居處,游他境界,致斯苦惱。如是,比丘!愚癡凡夫依聚落住,晨朝著衣持缽,入村乞食,不善護身,不守根門,眼見色已,則生染著;耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸,皆生染著。愚癡比丘內根外境被五縛已,隨魔所欲。是故,比丘!當如是學,于自所行處父母境界依止而住,莫隨他處他境界行。云何比丘自所行處父母境界?謂四念處——身身觀念住,受、心、法法觀念住。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六二一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。時,尊者阿難與眾多比丘詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。

尊者阿難白佛言:「世尊!此諸年少比丘當云何教授?云何為其說法?」

佛告阿難:「此諸年少比丘當以四念處教令修習

現代漢語譯本:或者還有山,(猿猴)共同居住在那裡,在猿猴經常活動的地方,獵人把粘膠塗在草上,聰明的猿猴遠遠地避開,愚蠢的猿猴不能遠遠避開,用手稍微一碰,手就被粘住了;又用兩隻手想解脫,兩隻手也被粘住了;用腳想解脫,腳也被粘住了;用嘴去咬草,嘴也被粘住了。五個地方都被粘住,蜷縮著躺在地上。獵人來了,就用棍子穿過它們,挑著擔走了。 『比丘們應當知道,愚蠢的猿猴捨棄自己生活的地方和父母的居所,到其他地方遊蕩,導致這樣的痛苦。同樣,比丘們!愚蠢的凡夫依靠村落居住,早晨穿好衣服拿著缽,進入村子乞食,不善於保護自己,不守護根門,眼睛看到顏色后,就產生貪戀;耳朵聽到聲音、鼻子聞到香味、舌頭嚐到味道、身體接觸到感覺,都產生貪戀。愚蠢的比丘內在的根和外在的境被五種束縛捆住后,就隨魔的意願而行。因此,比丘們!應當這樣學習,在自己所行的地方和父母的境界依止而住,不要跟隨其他地方和其他境界而行。什麼是比丘自己所行的地方和父母的境界呢?就是四念處——身體上觀察身體而住,感受、心、法上觀察感受、心、法而住。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六二一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,尊者阿難與眾多比丘來到世尊那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。 尊者阿難對佛說:『世尊!這些年輕的比丘應當如何教導?應當如何為他們說法?』 佛告訴阿難:『應當用四念處教導這些年輕的比丘,讓他們修習。』

English version: Or there are mountains where monkeys live together. In places where monkeys often travel, hunters smear sticky glue on the grass. Clever monkeys avoid it from afar, but foolish monkeys cannot avoid it. They touch it slightly with a hand, and their hand gets stuck. They try to free themselves with both hands, and both hands get stuck. They try to free themselves with their feet, and their feet get stuck. They try to bite the grass with their mouth, and their mouth gets stuck. All five places are stuck, and they lie curled up on the ground. When the hunter arrives, he pierces them with a stick and carries them away. 'Monks, you should know that foolish monkeys abandon their own territory and their parents' dwelling, wandering into other territories, leading to such suffering. Likewise, monks! Foolish ordinary people rely on villages to live, and in the morning, they put on their robes and carry their bowls, entering the village to beg for food. They are not good at protecting themselves, and they do not guard their sense doors. When their eyes see a color, they become attached. When their ears hear a sound, their noses smell a fragrance, their tongues taste a flavor, and their bodies feel a touch, they all become attached. Foolish monks, with their inner senses and outer objects bound by the five fetters, follow the desires of Mara. Therefore, monks! You should learn in this way, dwelling in your own territory and your parents' realm, and not follow other places and other realms. What is the monk's own territory and parents' realm? It is the four foundations of mindfulness—dwelling in contemplation of the body as body, of feelings, of mind, and of mental objects as mental objects.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (621) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the Venerable Ananda, along with many monks, went to where the World Honored One was, bowed their heads at his feet, and sat down to one side. The Venerable Ananda said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! How should these young monks be instructed? How should the Dharma be taught to them?' The Buddha told Ananda, 'These young monks should be taught and trained in the four foundations of mindfulness.'


。云何為四?謂身身觀念住,精勤方便,不放逸行,正智正念,寂定於心,乃至知身;受、心、法法觀念住,精勤方便,不放逸行,正念正智,寂靜於心,乃至知法。所以者何?若比丘住學地者,未得進上,志求安隱涅槃時,身身觀念住,精勤方便,不放逸行,正念正智,寂靜於心;受、心、法法觀念住,精勤方便,不放逸行,正念正智,寂靜於心,乃至於法遠離。若阿羅漢諸漏已盡,所作已作,舍諸重擔,盡諸有結,正知善解脫,當於彼時亦修身身觀念住,精勤方便,不放逸行,正念正智,寂靜於心;受、心、法法觀念住,乃至於法得遠離。」

時,尊者阿難歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(六二二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在跋祇人間遊行,到鞞舍離國庵羅園中住。

爾時,庵羅女聞世尊跋祇人間遊行至庵羅園中住,即自莊嚴乘車,出鞞舍離城,詣世尊所,恭敬供養。詣庵羅園門,下車步進,遙見世尊與諸大眾圍繞說法。

世尊遙見庵羅女來,語諸比丘:「汝等比丘勤攝心住,正念正智。今庵羅女來,是故誡汝。云何為比丘勤攝心住?若比丘已生惡不善法當斷,生欲、方便,精進攝心

現代漢語譯本:什麼是四種(觀)?即身觀身念住,精勤方便,不放逸地修行,以正知正念,使心寂靜,乃至了知身體;受、心、法觀法念住,精勤方便,不放逸地修行,以正念正知,使心寂靜,乃至了知法。為什麼這樣說呢?如果比丘處於學地,尚未得到提升,志求安穩的涅槃時,身觀身念住,精勤方便,不放逸地修行,以正念正知,使心寂靜;受、心、法觀法念住,精勤方便,不放逸地修行,以正念正知,使心寂靜,乃至對於法達到遠離。如果阿羅漢諸漏已盡,所作已作,捨棄一切重擔,斷盡一切有結,正知善解脫,當在那時也修習身觀身念住,精勤方便,不放逸地修行,以正念正知,使心寂靜;受、心、法觀法念住,乃至對於法達到遠離。 當時,尊者阿難歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。 (六二二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛在跋祇人間游化,到達鞞舍離國的庵羅園中居住。 當時,庵羅女聽說世尊在跋祇人間游化,到達庵羅園中居住,就自己打扮好,乘坐馬車,出鞞舍離城,前往世尊所在的地方,恭敬供養。到達庵羅園門口,下車步行進入,遠遠看見世尊被眾多大眾圍繞著說法。 世尊遠遠看見庵羅女前來,告訴眾比丘:『你們比丘要勤勉地攝持心念,保持正念正知。現在庵羅女來了,所以告誡你們。什麼是比丘勤勉地攝持心念呢?如果比丘已經生起的惡不善法應當斷除,生起欲求、方便,精進地攝持心念』

English version: What are the four? They are the establishment of mindfulness of the body in the body, diligently and skillfully practicing, not being negligent, with right knowledge and right mindfulness, calming the mind, and thus knowing the body; the establishment of mindfulness of feelings, mind, and dharmas in feelings, mind, and dharmas, diligently and skillfully practicing, not being negligent, with right mindfulness and right knowledge, calming the mind, and thus knowing the dharmas. Why is this so? If a bhikkhu is in the stage of learning, not yet advanced, and aspires to the peaceful Nirvana, he establishes mindfulness of the body in the body, diligently and skillfully practicing, not being negligent, with right mindfulness and right knowledge, calming the mind; he establishes mindfulness of feelings, mind, and dharmas in feelings, mind, and dharmas, diligently and skillfully practicing, not being negligent, with right mindfulness and right knowledge, calming the mind, and thus achieving detachment from the dharmas. If an Arhat has exhausted all outflows, done what needs to be done, laid down all burdens, broken all fetters of existence, and has right knowledge of good liberation, at that time he also practices the establishment of mindfulness of the body in the body, diligently and skillfully practicing, not being negligent, with right mindfulness and right knowledge, calming the mind; he establishes mindfulness of feelings, mind, and dharmas in feelings, mind, and dharmas, and thus achieves detachment from the dharmas. At that time, Venerable Ananda rejoiced and expressed his approval, then bowed and departed. (622) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the region of Vajji, and arrived at the Ambara Garden in the country of Vesali, where he stayed. At that time, Ambara, the woman, heard that the World Honored One was traveling in the region of Vajji and had arrived at the Ambara Garden, so she adorned herself, rode in her carriage, left the city of Vesali, and went to where the World Honored One was, to respectfully make offerings. Arriving at the gate of the Ambara Garden, she got out of her carriage and walked in, and from afar she saw the World Honored One surrounded by a large assembly, teaching the Dharma. The World Honored One, seeing Ambara coming from afar, said to the bhikkhus: 'You bhikkhus should diligently restrain your minds, and maintain right mindfulness and right knowledge. Now Ambara is coming, therefore I admonish you. What is it for a bhikkhu to diligently restrain his mind? If a bhikkhu has already generated evil and unwholesome dharmas, he should abandon them, generate desire, skillful means, and diligently restrain his mind.'


。未生惡不善法不令起,未生善法令生,已生善法令住不忘,修習增滿,生欲、方便,精勤攝心,是名比丘勤攝心住。

「云何名比丘正智?若比丘去來威儀常隨正智,回顧視瞻,屈伸俯仰,執持衣缽,行住坐臥,眠覺語默,皆隨正智住,是正智。

「云何正念?若比丘內身身觀念住,精勤方便,正智正念,調伏世間貪憂。如是受、心、法法觀念住,精勤方便,正智正念,調伏世間貪憂,是名比丘正念。是故汝等勤攝其心,正智正念,今庵羅女來,是故誡汝。」

時,庵羅女詣世尊所,稽首禮足,卻住一面。

爾時,世尊為庵羅女種種說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,默然而住。

爾時,庵羅女整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛:「唯愿世尊與諸大眾明日受我請中食。」

爾時,世尊默然受請。庵羅女知世尊默然受請已,稽首禮足,還歸自家,設種種食,佈置床座,晨朝遣使白佛:「時到。」

爾時,世尊與諸大眾詣庵羅女舍,就座而坐。

時,庵羅女手自供養種種飲食。食訖,澡漱、洗缽竟。時,庵羅女持一小床坐于佛前,聽佛說法

現代漢語譯本:對於尚未產生的惡不善法,要阻止它產生;對於尚未產生的善法,要令它產生;對於已經產生的善法,要令它保持不忘,修習增長圓滿。生起慾望、運用方法、精進努力、攝持心念,這叫做比丘勤于攝心而住。

什麼叫做比丘的正智?如果比丘在行走、來去時,威儀舉止都常隨正智;在回顧、觀看、屈身、伸展、俯身、仰頭,執持衣缽,行走、站立、坐下、躺臥,睡眠、覺醒、說話、沉默時,都隨正智而住,這就是正智。

什麼叫做正念?如果比丘在內身觀察身體的實相而住,精勤努力,運用正智正念,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁。同樣地,在感受、心念、法念上觀察實相而住,精勤努力,運用正智正念,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁,這叫做比丘的正念。所以你們要勤于攝持心念,運用正智正念。現在庵羅女來了,因此告誡你們。

這時,庵羅女來到世尊所在之處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立。

當時,世尊為庵羅女宣說種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,便默然不語。

這時,庵羅女整理好衣服,向佛作禮,合掌對佛說:『唯愿世尊和諸位大眾明天接受我的供養,前來用午餐。』

當時,世尊默然接受了邀請。庵羅女知道世尊默然接受邀請后,頂禮佛足,回到自己家中,準備各種食物,佈置好床座,早晨派人稟告佛陀:『時間到了。』

當時,世尊和諸位大眾來到庵羅女的住所,就座而坐。

當時,庵羅女親自供養各種飲食。用完餐后,洗漱、洗缽完畢。這時,庵羅女拿來一張小床,坐在佛陀面前,聽佛說法。 現代漢語譯本:對於尚未生起的惡不善法,要使它不生起;對於尚未生起的善法,要使它生起;對於已經生起的善法,要使它保持不忘,修習增長圓滿。生起欲求、運用方便、精進努力、攝持心意,這稱為比丘勤于攝心而住。

什麼稱為比丘的正智?如果比丘在來去時的威儀舉止,常常隨順正智;在回顧、觀看、屈身、伸展、俯身、仰頭,執持衣缽,行走、站立、坐下、躺臥,睡眠、覺醒、說話、沉默時,都隨順正智而住,這就是正智。

什麼稱為正念?如果比丘在內身觀察身體的實相而住,精勤方便,以正智正念,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁。同樣地,在感受、心念、法念上觀察實相而住,精勤方便,以正智正念,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁,這稱為比丘的正念。因此你們要勤于攝持心意,以正智正念。現在庵羅女來了,所以告誡你們。

這時,庵羅女來到世尊所在之處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立。

當時,世尊為庵羅女宣說種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,便默然不語。

這時,庵羅女整理好衣服,向佛作禮,合掌對佛說:『唯愿世尊和諸位大眾明天接受我的供養,前來用午餐。』

當時,世尊默然接受了邀請。庵羅女知道世尊默然接受邀請后,頂禮佛足,回到自己家中,準備各種食物,佈置好床座,早晨派人稟告佛陀:『時間到了。』

當時,世尊和諸位大眾來到庵羅女的住所,就座而坐。

當時,庵羅女親自供養各種飲食。用完餐后,洗漱、洗缽完畢。這時,庵羅女拿來一張小床,坐在佛陀面前,聽佛說法。

English version: 'Unwholesome states that have not arisen, he prevents from arising; wholesome states that have not arisen, he causes to arise; wholesome states that have arisen, he maintains, without forgetting, cultivates, and brings to fullness. Generating desire, employing means, exerting effort, and focusing the mind, this is called a bhikkhu dwelling with diligence in focusing the mind.'

'What is called a bhikkhu's right knowledge? If a bhikkhu, in his going and coming, maintains right knowledge in his deportment; in looking around, in bending and stretching, in holding his robe and bowl, in walking, standing, sitting, lying down, sleeping, waking, speaking, and being silent, he dwells with right knowledge, this is right knowledge.'

'What is right mindfulness? If a bhikkhu dwells contemplating the body in the body, diligently, with means, with right knowledge and right mindfulness, subduing the greed and distress of the world. Likewise, he dwells contemplating feelings, mind, and mental objects, diligently, with means, with right knowledge and right mindfulness, subduing the greed and distress of the world, this is called a bhikkhu's right mindfulness. Therefore, you should diligently focus your minds, with right knowledge and right mindfulness. Now, Ambapali has come, therefore I admonish you.'

At that time, Ambapali went to where the Blessed One was, bowed down at his feet, and stood to one side.

Then, the Blessed One taught Ambapali in various ways, showing, instructing, inspiring, and gladdening her; having shown, instructed, inspired, and gladdened her, he remained silent.

Then, Ambapali arranged her robe, bowed to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha, 'May the Blessed One and the assembly accept my invitation for the midday meal tomorrow.'

Then, the Blessed One accepted in silence. Ambapali, knowing that the Blessed One had accepted in silence, bowed down at his feet, returned to her own home, prepared various foods, arranged seats, and in the morning sent a messenger to inform the Buddha, 'It is time.'

Then, the Blessed One and the assembly went to Ambapali's residence and sat down.

Then, Ambapali personally served various foods. After the meal, she washed her hands and rinsed her bowl. Then, Ambapali brought a small seat and sat before the Buddha, listening to his teachings. English version: 'He does not allow unwholesome states that have not arisen to arise; he causes wholesome states that have not arisen to arise; he maintains wholesome states that have arisen, without forgetting, cultivates them, and brings them to fullness. Generating desire, employing means, exerting effort, and focusing the mind, this is called a bhikkhu dwelling with diligence in focusing the mind.'

'What is called a bhikkhu's right wisdom? If a bhikkhu, in his going and coming, his deportment is always in accordance with right wisdom; in looking around, in bending and stretching, in bowing and raising his head, in holding his robe and bowl, in walking, standing, sitting, lying down, sleeping, waking, speaking, and being silent, he dwells in accordance with right wisdom, this is right wisdom.'

'What is called right mindfulness? If a bhikkhu dwells contemplating the body in the body, diligently, with means, with right wisdom and right mindfulness, subduing the greed and distress of the world. Likewise, he dwells contemplating feelings, mind, and mental objects, diligently, with means, with right wisdom and right mindfulness, subduing the greed and distress of the world, this is called a bhikkhu's right mindfulness. Therefore, you should diligently focus your minds, with right wisdom and right mindfulness. Now, Ambapali has come, therefore I admonish you.'

At that time, Ambapali went to where the Blessed One was, bowed down at his feet, and stood to one side.

Then, the Blessed One taught Ambapali in various ways, showing, instructing, inspiring, and gladdening her; having shown, instructed, inspired, and gladdened her, he remained silent.

Then, Ambapali personally served various foods. After the meal, she washed her hands and rinsed her bowl. Then, Ambapali brought a small seat and sat before the Buddha, listening to his teachings.


爾時,世尊為庵羅女說隨喜偈:

「施者人愛念,  多眾所隨從,  名稱日增高,  遠近皆悉聞,  處眾常和雅,  離慳無所畏。  是故智慧施,  斷慳永無餘。  上生忉利天,  長夜受快樂,  盡壽常修德,  娛樂難陀園,  百種諸天樂,  五欲悅其心。  彼於此人間,  聞佛所說法,  為善逝弟子,  樂彼受化生。」

爾時,世尊為庵羅女種種說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,從座起而去。

(六二三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅奈仙人住處鹿野苑中。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「世間言美色,世間美色者,能令多人集聚觀看者不?」

諸比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「若世間美色,世間美色者,又能種種歌舞伎樂,復極令多眾聚集看不?」

比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「若有世間美色,世間美色者,在於一處,作種種歌舞伎樂戲笑,復有大眾雲集一處,若有士夫不愚不癡,樂樂背苦,貪生畏死,有人語言:『士夫,汝當持滿油缽,於世間美色者所及大眾中過,使一能殺人者,拔刀隨汝,若失一渧油者,輒當斬汝命

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊為庵羅女說了隨喜的偈頌: 『佈施的人受人愛戴,許多人會跟隨他, 名聲日益增高,遠近的人都聽聞, 處在眾人之中總是和睦文雅,遠離慳吝而無所畏懼。 所以有智慧的人要佈施,斷除慳吝永不殘留。 (佈施者)將往生到忉利天,長久享受快樂, 一生都修習德行,在難陀園中娛樂, 享受百種天上的快樂,五欲使他心滿意足。 他們在此人間,聽聞佛陀所說的法, 成為善逝的弟子,樂於接受教化而往生。』 當時,世尊為庵羅女說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,便從座位起身離去。

(六二三)

我(阿難)是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在波羅奈仙人居住的鹿野苑中。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『世間所說的美色,世間的美色,能讓很多人聚集觀看嗎?』

眾比丘回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』

佛陀告訴比丘:『如果世間的美色,世間的美色,又能進行各種歌舞伎樂,是不是更能讓很多人聚集觀看呢?』

比丘回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』

佛陀告訴比丘:『如果有世間的美色,世間的美色,在一個地方,進行各種歌舞伎樂嬉笑,又有大眾聚集在一個地方,如果有一個不愚蠢不癡呆的男子,喜歡快樂厭惡痛苦,貪生怕死,有人對他說:『男子,你應當拿著盛滿油的缽,從世間美色所在的地方和大眾中走過,讓一個能殺人的人,拿著刀跟在你後面,如果滴落一滴油,就立刻斬殺你的性命。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One spoke the verses of rejoicing for the Ambapali woman: 'The giver is loved by people, many will follow him, His reputation increases daily, and is heard far and wide, He is always harmonious and refined among the crowd, free from stinginess and without fear. Therefore, the wise should give, cutting off stinginess forever without remainder. (The giver) will be reborn in the Trayastrimsa Heaven, enjoying happiness for a long time, Throughout his life, he will cultivate virtue, and enjoy himself in the Nandana Garden, Enjoying hundreds of heavenly pleasures, the five desires will satisfy his heart. They, in this human world, hear the Dharma spoken by the Buddha, Becoming disciples of the Well-Gone One, they are happy to receive teachings and be reborn.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke various teachings to the Ambapali woman, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening; having shown, taught, illuminated, and gladdened, he rose from his seat and departed.

(623)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at Isipatana, the abode of the seers in Varanasi.

At that time, the World Honored One said to the monks: 'Do the so-called beauties of the world, the beauties of the world, cause many people to gather and watch?'

The monks replied to the Buddha: 'Yes, World Honored One!'

The Buddha said to the monks: 'If the beauties of the world, the beauties of the world, also perform various songs, dances, and music, would they cause even more people to gather and watch?'

The monks replied to the Buddha: 'Yes, World Honored One!'

The Buddha said to the monks: 'If there are beauties of the world, the beauties of the world, in one place, performing various songs, dances, music, and laughter, and there is a large crowd gathered in one place, if there is a man who is not foolish or ignorant, who likes pleasure and dislikes pain, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and someone says to him: 'Man, you should carry a bowl filled with oil, and pass through the place where the beauties of the world are and among the crowd, and let a man who can kill, follow you with a sword, and if a single drop of oil falls, he will immediately cut off your life.'


。』云何?比丘!彼持油缽士夫能不念油缽,不念殺人者,觀彼伎女及大眾不?」

比丘白佛:「不也,世尊!所以者何?世尊!彼士夫自見其後有拔刀者,常作是念:『我若落油一渧,彼拔刀者當截我頭。』唯一其心,繫念油缽,於世間美色及大眾中徐步而過,不敢顧眄。」

「如是,比丘!若有沙門、婆羅門正身自重,一其心念,不顧聲色,善攝一切心法,住身念處者,則是我弟子,隨我教者。云何為比丘正身自重,一其心念,不顧聲色,攝持一切心法,住身念處。如是,比丘!身身觀念,精勤方便,正智正念,調伏世間貪憂,受、心、法法觀念住亦復如是。是名比丘正身自重,一其心念,不顧聲色,善攝心法,住四念處。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「專心正念,  護持油缽,  自心隨護,  未曾至方,  甚難得過,  勝妙微細,  諸佛所說,  言教利劍。  當一其心,  專精護持,  非彼凡人,  放逸之事,  能入如是,  不放逸教。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六二四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:『怎麼樣?比丘!那個拿著油缽的人,能不惦記著油缽,不惦記著要殺他的人,而去看那些歌舞伎女和人群嗎?』 比丘回答佛說:『不能,世尊!為什麼呢?世尊!那個人看到後面有拔刀的人,總是想著:『我如果讓油滴落一滴,那個拔刀的人就會砍我的頭。』他一心一意,專注于油缽,在世間的美色和人群中慢慢走過,不敢左顧右盼。』 『是這樣的,比丘!如果有沙門、婆羅門端正自身,重視自身,一心一意,不被聲色所動,善於攝持一切心法,安住于身念處,那麼就是我的弟子,遵循我的教導。怎樣才算是比丘端正自身,重視自身,一心一意,不被聲色所動,攝持一切心法,安住于身念處呢?像這樣,比丘!觀察身體,精勤努力,以正確的智慧和正念,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁;感受、心、法,也像這樣觀察安住。這就叫做比丘端正自身,重視自身,一心一意,不被聲色所動,善於攝持心法,安住於四念處。』 這時,世尊就說了偈語: 『專心正念,護持油缽, 自心隨護,未曾至方, 甚難得過,勝妙微細, 諸佛所說,言教利劍。 當一其心,專精護持, 非彼凡人,放逸之事, 能入如是,不放逸教。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (六二四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: 'How is it, Bhikkhu? Can that man carrying the oil bowl not think of the oil bowl, not think of the one who would kill him, and instead look at the dancing girls and the crowd?' The Bhikkhu replied to the Buddha, 'No, Venerable Sir! Why is that? Venerable Sir! That man, seeing the one with a drawn sword behind him, always thinks: 『If I let even one drop of oil fall, that one with the drawn sword will cut off my head.』 He is single-minded, focused on the oil bowl, and walks slowly through the beautiful sights and the crowd, not daring to look around.' 'So it is, Bhikkhu! If there is a Samana or Brahmin who is upright and self-respecting, single-minded, not moved by sounds and sights, skilled in controlling all mental states, and dwells in mindfulness of the body, then he is my disciple, following my teachings. How does a Bhikkhu become upright and self-respecting, single-minded, not moved by sounds and sights, controlling all mental states, and dwelling in mindfulness of the body? Like this, Bhikkhu! Observing the body, diligently striving, with right wisdom and right mindfulness, subduing worldly greed and sorrow; feelings, mind, and mental objects are also observed and dwelt upon in the same way. This is called a Bhikkhu being upright and self-respecting, single-minded, not moved by sounds and sights, skilled in controlling mental states, and dwelling in the four foundations of mindfulness.' Then, the Venerable One spoke these verses: 'With focused mindfulness, protect the oil bowl, Guard your own mind, never before reached, Extremely difficult to overcome, supremely subtle, The teachings of the Buddhas, the sword of words. Be single-minded, diligently protect, Not for ordinary people, a matter of negligence, To enter such, a teaching of non-negligence.' Having spoken this discourse, the Bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. (624) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


爾時,尊者郁低迦來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「善哉!世尊!為我說法,我聞法已,當獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,思惟:『所以善男子剃除鬚髮,正信非家,出家學道……。』」如上廣說,乃至「不受後有。」

佛告郁低迦:「如是,如是,如汝所說。但於我所說法,不悅我心,彼所事業亦不成就,雖隨我后,而不得利,反生障閡。」

郁低迦白佛:「世尊所說,我則能令世尊心悅,自業成就,不生障閡。唯愿世尊為我說法,我當獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住……」如上廣說,乃至「不受後有。」如是第二、第三請。

爾時,世尊告郁低迦:「汝當先凈其初業,然後修習梵行。」

郁低迦白佛:「我今云何凈其初業,修習梵行?」

佛告郁低迦:「汝當先凈其戒,直其見,具足三業,然後修四念處。何等為四?內身身觀念住,專精方便,正智正念,調伏世間貪憂。如是外身、內外身身觀念住,受、心、法法觀念住……」亦如是廣說。

時,郁低迦聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起而去。

時,郁低迦聞佛教授已,獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,思惟:「所以善男子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道,乃至不受後有

現代漢語譯本: 當時,尊者郁低迦來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『太好了!世尊!請為我說法,我聽聞佛法后,將獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸地修行,思考:『為什麼善男子要剃除鬚髮,以堅定的信仰離開家庭,出家修道……』。」如上面所說的詳細內容,一直到『不再受後有』。 佛陀告訴郁低迦:『是這樣,是這樣,正如你所說。但是,如果我所說的法不能讓你心生歡喜,那麼你所做的事業也不會成功,即使跟隨在我身後,也得不到利益,反而會產生障礙。』 郁低迦對佛陀說:『世尊所說的,我能夠讓世尊心生歡喜,自己的事業也能成功,不會產生障礙。只希望世尊為我說法,我將獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸地修行……』。」如上面所說的詳細內容,一直到『不再受後有』。這樣請求了第二、第三次。 當時,世尊告訴郁低迦:『你應當先清凈你的初步修行,然後修習梵行。』 郁低迦問佛陀:『我現在應該如何清凈我的初步修行,修習梵行呢?』 佛陀告訴郁低迦:『你應當先清凈你的戒律,端正你的見解,具足身、口、意三業,然後修習四念處。哪四種呢?內身身觀念住,專心精進,以正智正念,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁。像這樣,外身、內外身身觀念住,受、心、法法觀念住……』。」也像上面所說的詳細內容。 當時,郁低迦聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去。 當時,郁低迦聽聞佛陀的教誨后,獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸地修行,思考:『為什麼善男子要剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以堅定的信仰離開家庭,出家修道,一直到不再受後有』。

English version: At that time, the Venerable Udayika came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Excellent, O Blessed One! Please teach me the Dharma. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, and live without negligence, thinking: 『Why do good men shave their heads and beards, with true faith leave their homes, and go forth to study the Way….』' as described in detail above, up to 『not receiving future existence.』 The Buddha said to Udayika, 'It is so, it is so, as you have said. But if my teaching does not please your mind, then your endeavors will not succeed. Even if you follow me, you will not gain benefit, but rather create obstacles.' Udayika said to the Buddha, 'What the Blessed One has said, I can make it please the Blessed One's mind, and my own endeavors will succeed, without creating obstacles. I only wish that the Blessed One would teach me the Dharma, and I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, and live without negligence…' as described in detail above, up to 『not receiving future existence.』 He requested this a second and third time. Then, the Blessed One said to Udayika, 'You should first purify your initial practice, and then cultivate the Brahma-faring.' Udayika asked the Buddha, 'How should I now purify my initial practice and cultivate the Brahma-faring?' The Buddha said to Udayika, 'You should first purify your precepts, straighten your views, perfect your three karmas of body, speech, and mind, and then cultivate the four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four? Contemplating the body within the body, diligently striving, with right wisdom and right mindfulness, subduing worldly greed and sorrow. Likewise, contemplating the body outside the body, the body within and outside the body, contemplating feelings, mind, and dharmas…' as described in detail above. Then, Udayika, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, and rose from his seat and departed. Then, Udayika, having heard the Buddha's teaching, dwelt alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplated, and lived without negligence, thinking: 『Why do good men shave their heads and beards, put on the monastic robe, with true faith leave their homes, and go forth to study the Way, up to not receiving future existence.』


。」

如郁低迦所問,如是異比丘所問亦如上說。

(六二五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘名婆醯迦,來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!善哉世尊!為我說法……」如前郁低迦修多羅廣說。差別者:「如是,婆醯迦比丘!初業清凈,身身觀念住者,超越諸魔;受、心、法法觀念住者,超越諸魔。」

時,婆醯迦比丘聞佛說法教誡已,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至不受後有。

(六二六)

第二經亦如上說。差別者:「如是,比丘!超越生死。」

(六二七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者阿那律陀詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!若有比丘住于學地,未得上進安隱涅槃,而方便求,是聖弟子當云何于正法、律修習多修習,得盡諸漏,乃至自知不受後有?」

佛告阿那律:「若聖弟子住于學地,未得上進安隱涅槃,而方便求,彼于爾時,當內身身觀念住,精勤方便,正智正念,調伏世間貪憂。如是受、心、法法觀念住,精勤方便,正智正念,調伏世間貪憂

現代漢語譯本 正如郁低迦所問,其他比丘所問的也像上面所說一樣。

(六二五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位名叫婆醯迦的比丘,來到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!太好了,世尊!請為我說法……』就像前面郁低迦經中詳細說的那樣。不同之處在於:『是的,婆醯迦比丘!初業清凈,能夠安住于身身觀念的人,就能超越諸魔;安住于受、心、法法觀念的人,也能超越諸魔。』

當時,婆醯迦比丘聽聞佛陀的說法教誡后,歡喜隨喜,行禮告退。獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸地修行,最終達到了不受後有的境界。

(六二六)

第二部經也像上面所說一樣。不同之處在於:『是的,比丘!能夠超越生死。』

(六二七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,尊者阿那律陀來到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!如果有一位比丘處於學習階段,尚未達到安穩的涅槃境界,但又努力尋求,這位聖弟子應該如何正確地在正法和戒律中修習,才能斷盡一切煩惱,乃至自己知道不再有後世的生命?』

佛陀告訴阿那律陀:『如果聖弟子處於學習階段,尚未達到安穩的涅槃境界,但又努力尋求,那麼他應該在那個時候,安住于內身身觀念,精勤努力,以正智正念,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁。同樣地,安住于受、心、法法觀念,精勤努力,以正智正念,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁。』

English version As asked by Udikā, so it is said for what was asked by other monks.

(625)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī.

Then, there was a certain monk named Bāhika, who came to the Buddha, bowed his head at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir! Excellent, Venerable Sir! Please teach me the Dharma...' as it was extensively explained in the previous Udikā Sūtra. The difference is: 'Yes, Bāhika, monk! One who is pure in their initial practice, who dwells contemplating the body in the body, transcends all Māras; one who dwells contemplating feelings, mind, and dharmas in dharmas, transcends all Māras.'

Then, the monk Bāhika, having heard the Buddha's teaching and admonition, rejoiced and was pleased, paid his respects, and departed. Alone in a quiet place, he diligently contemplated, dwelling without negligence, until he attained the state of no further existence.

(626)

The second discourse is also as described above. The difference is: 'Yes, monk! One transcends birth and death.'

(627)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī.

Then, the venerable Anuruddha came to the Buddha, bowed his head at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir! If there is a monk who is dwelling in the stage of learning, not yet having attained the secure peace of Nirvana, but striving diligently, how should this noble disciple practice and cultivate the Dharma and the Vinaya, to exhaust all defilements, and even know for themselves that there will be no further existence?'

The Buddha said to Anuruddha: 'If a noble disciple is dwelling in the stage of learning, not yet having attained the secure peace of Nirvana, but striving diligently, then at that time, they should dwell contemplating the body in the body internally, diligently striving, with right wisdom and right mindfulness, subduing the worldly greed and sorrow. Likewise, dwelling contemplating feelings, mind, and dharmas in dharmas, diligently striving, with right wisdom and right mindfulness, subduing the worldly greed and sorrow.'


。如是聖弟子多修習已,得盡諸漏,乃至自知不受後有。」

爾時,尊者阿那律陀聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(六二八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住巴連弗邑雞林精舍。時,尊者優陀夷、尊者阿難陀亦住巴連弗邑雞林精舍。

爾時,尊者優陀夷詣尊者阿難所,共相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,語尊者阿難:「如來、應供、等正覺所知所見,為諸比丘說聖戒,令不斷、不缺、不擇、不離、不戒取,善究竟、善持,智者所嘆、所不憎惡。何故如來、應、等正覺所見,為諸比丘說聖戒,不斷、不缺,乃至智者所嘆、所不憎惡?」

尊者阿難語優陀夷:「為修四念處故。何等為四?謂身身觀念住,受、心、法法觀念住。」

時,二正士共論議已,各還本處。

(六二九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住巴連弗邑雞林精舍。爾時,尊者阿難、尊者跋陀羅亦在彼住。

時,尊者跋陀羅問尊者阿難言:「頗有法修習多修習,得不退轉耶?」

尊者阿難語尊者跋陀羅:「有法修習多修習,能令行者得不退轉,謂四念處。何等為四?身身觀念住,受、心、法法觀念住。」

時,二正士共論說已,各還本處

現代漢語譯本:'如果聖弟子這樣多加修習,就能斷盡一切煩惱,乃至自己知道不再有來世。' '當時,尊者阿那律陀聽了佛的教誨,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。' '(六二八)' '如是我聞:' '一時,佛住在巴連弗邑的雞林精舍。當時,尊者優陀夷和尊者阿難陀也住在巴連弗邑的雞林精舍。' '那時,尊者優陀夷去拜訪尊者阿難,互相問候慰問后,退坐在一旁,對尊者阿難說:『如來、應供、等正覺所知所見,為眾比丘宣說聖戒,使之不間斷、不缺失、不選擇、不偏離、不執取戒律,能夠善始善終、善於持守,為智者所讚歎、所不憎惡。為什麼如來、應供、等正覺所見,要為眾比丘宣說聖戒,使之不間斷、不缺失,乃至為智者所讚歎、所不憎惡呢?』 '尊者阿難對優陀夷說:『是爲了修習四念處。哪四種呢?就是身身觀念住,受、心、法法觀念住。』 '當時,兩位正士共同討論完畢,各自回到自己的住處。' '(六二九)' '如是我聞:' '一時,佛住在巴連弗邑的雞林精舍。當時,尊者阿難和尊者跋陀羅也住在那裡。' '當時,尊者跋陀羅問尊者阿難說:『有沒有一種法,通過修習和多加修習,能夠使人獲得不退轉的境界呢?』 '尊者阿難對尊者跋陀羅說:『有一種法,通過修習和多加修習,能夠使修行者獲得不退轉的境界,那就是四念處。哪四種呢?就是身身觀念住,受、心、法法觀念住。』 '當時,兩位正士共同討論完畢,各自回到自己的住處。'

English version: 'If a noble disciple cultivates in this way, they will exhaust all defilements, and even know for themselves that they will not have a future existence.' 'At that time, Venerable Anuruddha, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, paid homage, and departed.' ' (628)' 'Thus have I heard:' 'At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Chicken Grove Monastery in Pataliputra. At that time, Venerable Udāyi and Venerable Ānanda were also dwelling in the Chicken Grove Monastery in Pataliputra.' 'Then, Venerable Udāyi went to Venerable Ānanda, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries, sat down to one side and said to Venerable Ānanda: 『The Tathāgata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, through his knowledge and vision, has taught the noble precepts to the monks, so that they are unbroken, not flawed, not selective, not deviated, not taken as a mere ritual, but well-completed, well-maintained, praised by the wise, and not despised. Why is it that the Tathāgata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, through his vision, teaches the noble precepts to the monks, so that they are unbroken, not flawed, and so on, even to being praised by the wise and not despised?』 'Venerable Ānanda said to Udāyi: 『It is for the sake of cultivating the four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four? They are mindfulness of the body in the body, mindfulness of feelings, mindfulness of mind, and mindfulness of phenomena in phenomena.』 'Then, the two noble ones, having discussed this, each returned to their own dwelling.' ' (629)' 'Thus have I heard:' 'At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Chicken Grove Monastery in Pataliputra. At that time, Venerable Ānanda and Venerable Bhaddara were also dwelling there.' 'Then, Venerable Bhaddara asked Venerable Ānanda: 『Is there a teaching that, through cultivation and repeated cultivation, can lead to non-regression?』 'Venerable Ānanda said to Venerable Bhaddara: 『There is a teaching that, through cultivation and repeated cultivation, can lead the practitioner to non-regression, and that is the four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four? They are mindfulness of the body in the body, mindfulness of feelings, mindfulness of mind, and mindfulness of phenomena in phenomena.』 'Then, the two noble ones, having discussed this, each returned to their own dwelling.'

Then, Venerable Bhadra asked Venerable Ananda: 'Is there a Dharma that, through practice and repeated practice, can cause impure beings to become pure and more radiant?' Venerable Ananda told Venerable Bhadra: 'There is a Dharma that, through practice and repeated practice, can cause impure beings to become pure and more radiant, and that is the four foundations of mindfulness. Namely, mindfulness of the body, mindfulness of feelings, mindfulness of the mind, and mindfulness of dharmas.'

一時,佛住巴連弗邑雞林精舍。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「所說一切法,一切法者,謂四念處,是名正說。何等為四?謂身身觀念住,受、心、法法觀念住。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如凈眾生,如是未度彼岸者令度、得阿羅漢、得辟支佛、得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,亦如上說

現代漢語譯本:什麼是四種呢?就是指在身體上安住于對身體的觀察,在感受、心念、法上安住于對感受、心念、法的觀察。 當時,兩位修行者共同討論完畢后,各自回到自己的住處。 (六三三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在巴連弗邑的雞林精舍。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『所說的一切法,所謂一切法,指的是四念處,這才是正確的說法。什麼是四種呢?就是指在身體上安住于對身體的觀察,在感受、心念、法上安住于對感受、心念、法的觀察。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (六三四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在巴連弗邑的雞林精舍。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘在四念處上修習,並且多次修習,就稱為賢聖的出離。什麼是四種呢?就是指在身體上安住于對身體的觀察,在感受、心念、法上安住于對感受、心念、法的觀察。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 如同出離一樣,也如同正確地滅盡痛苦、達到痛苦的終點、獲得大果報、獲得大利益、獲得甘露法、達到甘露的究竟、證得甘露法,如上面所廣泛講述的那樣。 (六三五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在巴連弗邑的雞林精舍。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘在四念處上修習,並且多次修習,就能使未清凈的眾生得到清凈,使已清凈的眾生更加光彩。什麼是四種呢?就是指在身體上安住于對身體的觀察,在感受、心念、法上安住于對感受、心念、法的觀察。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 如同清凈眾生一樣,也如同使未度過彼岸的人度過彼岸、獲得阿羅漢果位、獲得辟支佛果位、獲得無上正等正覺,也如上面所說的那樣。

English version: What are the four? They are dwelling in contemplation of the body as body, of feelings, of mind, and of mental objects as mental objects. Then, the two righteous men, having discussed this, each returned to their own place. (633) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Chicken Grove Monastery in Pataliputra. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'What is said to be all dharmas, all dharmas, is the four foundations of mindfulness; this is called the correct teaching. What are the four? They are dwelling in contemplation of the body as body, of feelings, of mind, and of mental objects as mental objects.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (634) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Chicken Grove Monastery in Pataliputra. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'If a monk cultivates and frequently practices the four foundations of mindfulness, it is called the noble's escape. What are the four? They are dwelling in contemplation of the body as body, of feelings, of mind, and of mental objects as mental objects.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. Like escape, so too is the correct ending of suffering, reaching the end of suffering, obtaining great fruit, obtaining great benefit, obtaining the nectar of dharma, reaching the ultimate nectar, realizing the nectar of dharma, as has been extensively explained above. (635) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Chicken Grove Monastery in Pataliputra. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'If a monk cultivates and frequently practices the four foundations of mindfulness, he will purify beings who are not yet pure, and make beings who are already pure more radiant. What are the four? They are dwelling in contemplation of the body as body, of feelings, of mind, and of mental objects as mental objects.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. Like purifying beings, so too is enabling those who have not crossed to the other shore to cross, attaining Arhatship, attaining Pratyekabuddhahood, attaining Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, as has been said above.


(六三六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住巴連弗邑雞林精舍。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當爲汝說修四念處。何等為修四念處?若比丘!如來、應、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊出興於世,演說正法,上語亦善,中語亦善,下語亦善,善義善味,純一滿凈,梵行顯示。若族姓子、族姓女從佛聞法,得凈信心。如是修學,見在家和合欲樂之過,煩惱結縛,樂居空閑,出家學道,不樂在家,處於非家,欲一向清凈,盡其形壽,純一滿凈,鮮白梵行:『我當剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道。』作是思惟已,即便放舍錢財親屬,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道,正其身行,護口四過,正命清凈,習賢聖戒,守諸根門,護心正念。眼見色時,不取形相,若於眼根住不律儀,世間貪憂、惡不善法常漏於心,而今于眼起正律儀;耳、鼻、舌、身、意起正律儀,亦復如是。

「彼以賢聖戒律成就,善攝根門,來往周旋,顧視屈伸,坐臥眠覺語默,住智正智。彼成就如此聖戒,守護根門,正智正念,寂靜遠離,空處、樹下、閑房獨坐,正身正念,繫心安住

現代漢語譯本 (六三六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在巴連弗邑的雞林精舍。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我將為你們講述如何修習四念處。什麼是修習四念處呢?比丘們!如來、應供、正等覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊出現於世,宣說正法,開頭的言辭也善,中間的言辭也善,結尾的言辭也善,意義美好,味道純正,圓滿清凈,顯示梵行。如果善男子、善女人從佛陀那裡聽聞佛法,獲得清凈的信心。像這樣修學,看到在家生活和合欲樂的過患,被煩惱束縛,喜歡居住在空閑的地方,出家修道,不樂於在家,處於非家,想要一心清凈,盡其一生,純一圓滿,鮮明潔白的梵行:『我應當剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信離開家庭,出家修道。』這樣思考之後,就立刻放下錢財和親屬,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信離開家庭,出家修道,端正自己的行為,守護口中的四種過失,以清凈的生命為生,學習賢聖的戒律,守護諸根的門戶,守護心念的清凈。當眼睛看到顏色時,不執著于外形,如果對眼根不加以約束,世間的貪慾、憂愁、惡不善法就會常常侵入心中,現在要對眼根生起正確的約束;耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念生起正確的約束,也是如此。 『他以賢聖的戒律成就,善於攝持根門,來往周旋,顧視屈伸,坐臥眠覺語默,都保持智慧和正知。他成就了這樣的聖戒,守護根門,正知正念,寂靜遠離,在空曠的地方、樹下、閑靜的房間獨自坐著,端正身體,保持正念,繫心安住。』

English version (636) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Chicken Grove Monastery in Pataliputra. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'I will tell you about the practice of the four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four foundations of mindfulness? Monks! A Tathagata, an Arhat, a Fully Enlightened One, perfect in knowledge and conduct, a Sugata, a knower of the world, an unsurpassed trainer of those who can be trained, a teacher of gods and humans, a Buddha, a Blessed One, arises in the world, teaching the Dharma, which is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with meaning and flavor, complete and pure, displaying the holy life. If a son or daughter of good family hears the Dharma from the Buddha and gains pure faith. Having thus trained, seeing the fault of the pleasures of household life, bound by defilements, they delight in living in secluded places, going forth from home into homelessness, not delighting in household life, living in homelessness, desiring to be completely pure, for the rest of their lives, complete and pure, a bright and white holy life: 「I will shave off my hair and beard, put on the yellow robe, and with right faith go forth from home into homelessness.」 Having thought thus, they immediately give up their wealth and relatives, shave off their hair and beard, put on the yellow robe, and with right faith go forth from home into homelessness, rectifying their bodily conduct, guarding against the four faults of speech, living a pure life, practicing the noble precepts, guarding the doors of the senses, and protecting the purity of their minds. When the eye sees a form, they do not grasp at its appearance; if they do not restrain the eye faculty, worldly greed, sorrow, and evil unwholesome states constantly flow into the mind, but now they establish right restraint over the eye; and likewise, they establish right restraint over the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. 'They are accomplished in the noble precepts, well-guarded in their sense doors, in their coming and going, in their looking around, in their bending and stretching, in their sitting, lying down, sleeping, waking, speaking, and being silent, they maintain wisdom and right knowledge. Having accomplished such noble precepts, guarding the sense doors, with right knowledge and right mindfulness, they dwell in solitude, in empty places, under trees, in secluded rooms, sitting alone, straightening their body, maintaining right mindfulness, and establishing their minds.'


。斷世貪憂,離貪慾,凈除貪慾;斷世瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋,離瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋,凈除瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋。斷除五蓋惱心,慧力羸、諸障閡分、不趣涅槃者,是故,內身身觀念住,精勤方便,正智正念,調伏世間貪憂;如是外身、內外身,受、心、法法觀念住,亦如是說。是名比丘修四念處。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六三七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當修四念處……」如上廣說。差別者,乃至「如是出家已,住于靜處,攝受波羅提木叉律儀,行處具足,于細微罪生大怖畏,受持學戒,離殺、斷殺、不樂殺生,乃至一切業跡如前說,衣缽隨身,如鳥兩翼。如是學戒成就,修四念處。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六三八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,尊者舍利弗住摩竭提那羅聚落,疾病涅槃,純陀沙彌瞻視供養。

爾時,尊者舍利弗因病涅槃。

時,純陀沙彌供養尊者舍利弗已,取余舍利,擔持衣缽,到王舍城,舉衣缽,洗足已,詣尊者阿難所

現代漢語譯本:斷除世間的貪婪和憂愁,遠離貪慾,凈化貪慾;斷除世間的嗔恚、睡眠、掉舉、後悔、疑惑等障礙,遠離嗔恚、睡眠、掉舉、後悔、疑惑,凈化嗔恚、睡眠、掉舉、後悔、疑惑。斷除這五種覆蓋內心的障礙,這些障礙會削弱智慧的力量,阻礙修行,使人無法趨向涅槃。因此,要專注于內身的身念住,精勤努力,以正知正念來調伏世間的貪婪和憂愁;同樣地,也要專注于外身、內外身,以及受、心、法等念住。這就是比丘修習四念處的方法。」 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當修習四念處……』(內容如上文廣說)。不同之處在於,乃至『像這樣出家后,住在安靜的地方,遵守波羅提木叉的戒律,行為舉止合乎規範,對於細微的罪過也心生大恐懼,受持戒律,遠離殺生、斷除殺生、不樂於殺生,乃至一切行為都如前文所說,衣缽隨身,如同鳥的兩翼。像這樣成就戒律,修習四念處。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。那時,尊者舍利弗住在摩竭提的那羅聚落,因病而涅槃,純陀沙彌負責照料和供養。 那時,尊者舍利弗因病而涅槃。 當時,純陀沙彌供養完尊者舍利弗后,取走他的舍利,擔著衣缽,來到王舍城,放下衣缽,洗完腳后,去拜見尊者阿難。

English version: 'Having abandoned worldly greed and sorrow, one should be free from desire, and purify desire; having abandoned worldly anger, sleepiness, restlessness, remorse, and doubt, one should be free from anger, sleepiness, restlessness, remorse, and doubt, and purify anger, sleepiness, restlessness, remorse, and doubt. Having abandoned the five hindrances that trouble the mind, which weaken the power of wisdom, create obstacles, and prevent one from reaching Nirvana, therefore, one should dwell in contemplation of the body internally, with diligence and effort, with right knowledge and right mindfulness, to subdue worldly greed and sorrow; likewise, one should contemplate the body externally, both internally and externally, as well as feelings, mind, and mental objects. This is how a bhikkhu cultivates the four foundations of mindfulness.' After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. 'Thus have I heard:' 'At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.' 'At that time, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 「You should cultivate the four foundations of mindfulness…」 (as explained in detail above). The difference is, up to 「Having thus gone forth, dwelling in a quiet place, observing the Patimokkha precepts, with proper conduct, having great fear of even minor offenses, upholding the precepts, abstaining from killing, abandoning killing, not delighting in killing, and all other actions as previously described, carrying robes and bowl, like a bird with two wings. Having thus accomplished the precepts, one should cultivate the four foundations of mindfulness.」' After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. 'Thus have I heard:' 'At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove, Kalandaka's Park, in Rajagaha. At that time, the venerable Sariputta was dwelling in the village of Nalaka in Magadha, and having fallen ill, passed away, with the novice Cunda attending to and providing for him.' 'At that time, the venerable Sariputta passed away due to illness.' 'Then, the novice Cunda, having attended to the venerable Sariputta, took the remaining relics, carrying the robes and bowl, and went to Rajagaha. Having put down the robes and bowl, and washed his feet, he went to see the venerable Ananda.'


。禮尊者阿難足已,卻住一面,白尊者阿難:「尊者當知,我和上尊者舍利弗已涅槃,我持舍利及衣缽來。」

於是尊者阿難聞純陀沙彌語已,往詣佛所,白佛言:「世尊!我今舉體離解,四方易韻,持辯閉塞,純陀沙彌來語我言:『和上舍利弗已涅槃,持余舍利及衣缽來。』」

佛言:「云何?阿難!彼舍利弗持所受戒身涅槃耶?定身、慧身、解脫身、解脫知見身涅槃耶?」

阿難白佛言:「不也,世尊!」

佛告阿難:「若法我自知,成等正覺所說,謂四念處、四正斷、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺支、八道支涅槃耶?」

阿難白佛:「不也,世尊!雖不持所受戒身乃至道品法而涅槃,然尊者舍利弗持戒多聞,少欲知足,常行遠離,精勤方便,攝念安住,一心正受捷疾智慧、深利智慧、超出智慧、分別智慧、大智慧、廣智慧、甚深智慧、無等智慧,智寶成就,能示、能教、能照、能喜,善能讚歎,為眾說法。是故,世尊!我為法故,為受法者故,愁憂苦惱。」

佛告阿難:「汝莫愁憂苦惱。所以者何?若坐、若起、若作,有為敗壞之法,何得不壞,欲令不壞者,無有是處,我先已說,一切所愛念種種諸物、適意之事,一切皆是乖離之法,不可常保

現代漢語譯本:

他向尊敬的阿難行禮后,退到一旁站立,對阿難說:『尊敬的阿難,您應當知道,我的老師舍利弗尊者已經涅槃了,我帶著他的舍利和衣缽來了。』 於是,尊敬的阿難聽了純陀沙彌的話后,前往佛陀所在之處,對佛陀說:『世尊!我現在感到全身無力,四肢彷彿失去了協調,辯才也變得遲鈍。純陀沙彌來告訴我:『我的老師舍利弗已經涅槃,我帶著他的舍利和衣缽來了。』 佛陀說:『怎麼樣,阿難?舍利弗是帶著他所受持的戒身而涅槃的嗎?還是帶著定身、慧身、解脫身、解脫知見身而涅槃的呢?』 阿難對佛陀說:『不是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴阿難:『如果我所親自證悟,成就正等正覺所宣說的法,也就是四念處、四正斷、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺支、八道支涅槃了嗎?』 阿難對佛陀說:『不是的,世尊!雖然他不是帶著所受持的戒身乃至道品法而涅槃,但是舍利弗尊者持戒精嚴,博學多聞,少欲知足,常行遠離,精進勤勉,攝心安住,一心正受,擁有敏捷的智慧、深刻的智慧、超凡的智慧、分別的智慧、廣大的智慧、甚深的智慧、無與倫比的智慧,成就了智慧的寶藏,能夠開示、教導、照亮、歡喜,善於讚歎,為大眾說法。因此,世尊!我爲了佛法,爲了接受佛法的人,感到憂愁苦惱。』 佛陀告訴阿難:『你不要憂愁苦惱。為什麼呢?無論是坐著、站著、還是行動,凡是有為法,都是會敗壞的,怎麼可能不壞呢?想要它不壞,這是不可能的。我之前已經說過,一切所愛念的種種事物、適意的事情,一切都是會分離的,不可能永遠保持。』

English version:

Having paid respects to the venerable Ananda, he stepped aside and stood, saying to the venerable Ananda, 'Venerable Ananda, you should know that my teacher, the venerable Sariputra, has already entered Nirvana, and I have come with his relics and robe and bowl.' Then, the venerable Ananda, having heard the words of the novice Cunda, went to where the Buddha was, and said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! I now feel my whole body weakened, my limbs seem uncoordinated, and my eloquence has become dull. The novice Cunda came and told me: 『My teacher Sariputra has already entered Nirvana, and I have come with his relics and robe and bowl.』 The Buddha said, 'How is it, Ananda? Did Sariputra enter Nirvana with the body of precepts he had received? Or with the body of concentration, the body of wisdom, the body of liberation, or the body of the knowledge and vision of liberation?' Ananda said to the Buddha, 'No, World Honored One!' The Buddha told Ananda, 'If the Dharma that I have personally realized, that I have proclaimed upon achieving perfect enlightenment, namely the four foundations of mindfulness, the four right exertions, the four bases of power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven factors of enlightenment, and the eightfold path, did he enter Nirvana with these?' Ananda said to the Buddha, 'No, World Honored One! Although he did not enter Nirvana with the body of precepts he had received, nor with the factors of the path, the venerable Sariputra was strict in observing precepts, learned and wise, content with little, always practicing seclusion, diligent and energetic, mindful and composed, with one-pointed concentration, possessing swift wisdom, profound wisdom, transcendent wisdom, discriminating wisdom, great wisdom, vast wisdom, and immeasurable wisdom, having achieved the treasure of wisdom, able to reveal, teach, illuminate, and delight, skilled in praise, and able to preach the Dharma to the assembly. Therefore, World Honored One! I am sorrowful and distressed for the sake of the Dharma and for those who receive the Dharma.' The Buddha told Ananda, 'You should not be sorrowful or distressed. Why is that? Whether sitting, standing, or acting, all conditioned things are subject to decay, how could they not decay? To wish that they would not decay is impossible. I have said before that all beloved things, all pleasant things, are subject to separation, and cannot be kept forever.'


。譬如大樹,根、莖、枝、葉、華、果茂盛,大枝先折,如大寶山,大巖先崩。如是,如來大眾眷屬,其大聲聞先般涅槃,若彼方有舍利弗住者,于彼方我則無事,然其彼方,我則不空,以有舍利弗故,我先已說故。汝今,阿難!如我先說,所可愛念種種適意之事,皆是別離之法,是故汝今莫大愁毒。阿難!當知,如來不久亦當過去。是故,阿難!當作自洲而自依,當作法洲而法依,當作不異洲不異依。」

阿難白佛:「世尊!云何自洲以自依?云何法洲以法依?云何不異洲不異依?」

佛告阿難:「若比丘身身觀念處,精勤方便,正智正念,調伏世間貪憂。如是外身、內外身,受、心、法法觀念處,亦如是說。阿難!是名自洲以自依、法洲以法依、不異洲不異洲依。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六三九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住摩偷羅國跋陀羅河側傘蓋庵羅樹林中,尊者舍利弗、目揵連涅槃未久。爾時,世尊月十五日布薩時,于大眾前敷座而坐。

爾時,世尊觀察眾會已,告諸比丘:「我觀大眾,見已虛空,以舍利弗、大目揵連般涅槃故。我聲聞唯此二人善能說法,教誡、教授,辯說滿足

現代漢語譯本:譬如一棵大樹,根、莖、枝、葉、花、果都茂盛,粗大的枝幹會先折斷,就像一座大寶山,巨大的巖石會先崩塌。同樣,如來佛的大眾眷屬中,那些偉大的聲聞弟子也會先進入涅槃。如果那個地方有舍利弗居住,那麼對於那個地方我便沒有什麼可擔心的,然而那個地方,我不會覺得空虛,因為有舍利弗在那裡,我之前已經說過了。你現在,阿難!正如我之前所說,所有可愛、令人懷念、種種舒適的事情,都是會分離的。所以你現在不要過於悲傷。阿難!你要知道,如來不久也將離去。因此,阿難!你們應當以自己為洲嶼,以自己為依靠;以法為洲嶼,以法為依靠;以不異的洲嶼為依靠,以不異的依靠為依靠。 阿難問佛:『世尊!什麼是以自己為洲嶼,以自己為依靠?什麼是以法為洲嶼,以法為依靠?什麼是以不異的洲嶼為依靠,以不異的依靠為依靠?』 佛告訴阿難:『如果比丘在身觀身念處,精勤努力,以正智正念,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁。像這樣,對外身、內外身,受、心、法觀法念處,也應當這樣說。阿難!這叫做以自己為洲嶼,以自己為依靠;以法為洲嶼,以法為依靠;以不異的洲嶼為依靠,以不異的依靠為依靠。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (六三九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在摩偷羅國跋陀羅河邊的傘蓋庵羅樹林中,尊者舍利弗和目犍連涅槃不久。那時,世尊在月圓十五日布薩時,在大眾面前鋪設座位坐下。 當時,世尊觀察大眾后,告訴眾比丘:『我觀察大眾,覺得已經空虛了,因為舍利弗和大目犍連已經進入涅槃。我的聲聞弟子中,只有他們二人善於說法,教誡、教授,辯才圓滿。』

English version: Just like a large tree, with its roots, trunk, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits flourishing, the large branches break first, like a great treasure mountain, the large rocks collapse first. Similarly, among the retinue of the Tathagata, the great Sravakas will enter Nirvana first. If Sariputra dwells in that place, then I have nothing to worry about for that place, yet that place, I will not feel empty, because Sariputra is there, I have said this before. Now, Ananda! As I said before, all things that are lovely, memorable, and pleasing are subject to separation. Therefore, you should not be too sorrowful now. Ananda! You should know that the Tathagata will also pass away soon. Therefore, Ananda! You should make yourselves your own island and your own refuge; make the Dharma your island and your refuge; make the non-different island your refuge, and the non-different refuge your refuge. Ananda asked the Buddha: 'World Honored One! What does it mean to make oneself one's own island and one's own refuge? What does it mean to make the Dharma one's island and one's refuge? What does it mean to make the non-different island one's refuge, and the non-different refuge one's refuge?' The Buddha told Ananda: 'If a bhikkhu dwells contemplating the body in the body, diligently and with right wisdom and right mindfulness, subduing the greed and sorrow of the world. In this way, for the external body, the internal and external body, feelings, mind, and Dharma, one should also speak in this way. Ananda! This is called making oneself one's own island and one's own refuge; making the Dharma one's island and one's refuge; making the non-different island one's refuge, and the non-different refuge one's refuge.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (639) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Umbrella Mango Grove by the Bhadra River in the country of Mathura, not long after the Nirvana of the Venerable Sariputra and Maudgalyayana. At that time, on the full moon day of the fifteenth, the World Honored One, during the Uposatha, sat down on a seat prepared in front of the assembly. At that time, the World Honored One, having observed the assembly, told the bhikkhus: 'I observe the assembly and feel it is already empty, because Sariputra and Mahamoggallana have entered Nirvana. Among my Sravaka disciples, only these two were skilled in expounding the Dharma, teaching, instructing, and were complete in their eloquence.'


。有二種財,錢財及法財,錢財者從世人求,法財者從舍利弗、大目揵連求,如來已離施財及法財。

「汝等莫以舍利弗、目揵連涅槃故愁憂苦惱。譬如大樹,根、莖、枝、葉、華、果茂盛,大枝先折,亦如寶山,大巖先崩。如是,如來大眾之中,舍利弗、目揵連二大聲聞先般涅槃。是故,比丘!汝等勿生愁憂苦惱,何有生法、起法、作法、為法、壞敗之法而不磨滅?欲令不壞,無有是處,我先已說,一切可愛之物皆歸離散,我今不久亦當過去。是故汝等當知,自洲以自依、法洲以法依、不異洲不異依,謂內身身觀念住,精勤方便,正智正念,調伏世間貪憂。如是外身、內外身,受、心、法法觀念住,精勤方便,正智正念,調伏世間貪憂,是名自洲以自依,法洲以法依,不異洲不異依。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(六四〇)

爾時,世尊告尊者阿難:「此摩偷羅國,將來世當有商人子,名曰掘多,掘多有子,名優波掘多,我滅度后百歲,當作佛事,于教授師中最為第一

現代漢語譯本:有兩種財富,一種是錢財,一種是法財。錢財是從世人那裡求得的,而法財則是從舍利弗、大目犍連那裡求得的。如來已經超越了施捨錢財和法財的階段。 『你們不要因為舍利弗和目犍連的涅槃而感到憂愁苦惱。譬如一棵大樹,根、莖、枝、葉、花、果都茂盛,但粗大的枝幹會先折斷;又如一座寶山,巨大的巖石會先崩塌。同樣,在如來的大眾之中,舍利弗和目犍連這兩位大弟子先般涅槃。因此,比丘們!你們不要產生憂愁苦惱,有什麼生法、起法、作法、為法、壞敗之法而不消亡呢?想要不壞滅,這是不可能的。我之前已經說過,一切可愛之物最終都會離散,我如今不久也將離去。所以你們應當明白,要以自己為洲嶼,以法為洲嶼,不以其他為洲嶼,也就是要安住于內身身觀念,精勤方便,以正智正念,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁。同樣,也要安住于外身、內外身,受、心、法法觀念,精勤方便,以正智正念,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁。這才是以自己為洲嶼,以法為洲嶼,不以其他為洲嶼。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《雜阿含經》卷第二十四 《大正藏》第02冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第二十五 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (六四〇) 那時,世尊告訴尊者阿難:『這摩偷羅國,將來會有一位商人子,名叫掘多。掘多有一個兒子,名叫優波掘多。我滅度后一百年,他將做佛事,在教授師中最為第一。』

English version: There are two kinds of wealth: material wealth and Dharma wealth. Material wealth is sought from worldly people, while Dharma wealth is sought from Shariputra and Maudgalyayana. The Tathagata has transcended the giving of both material and Dharma wealth. 'You should not be sorrowful or distressed because of the Nirvana of Shariputra and Maudgalyayana. Just as a large tree, with its roots, trunk, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits flourishing, will have its large branches break first; or like a precious mountain, where large rocks will collapse first. Similarly, among the Tathagata's assembly, the two great disciples, Shariputra and Maudgalyayana, have entered Nirvana first. Therefore, monks! You should not give rise to sorrow or distress. What is born, arises, is made, is conditioned, and is subject to decay, that does not perish? To wish that it would not perish is impossible. I have said before that all beloved things will eventually be scattered, and I too will soon pass away. Therefore, you should understand that you must be your own island, the Dharma your island, not another your island. That is, abide in the contemplation of the body within, with diligence and effort, with right wisdom and right mindfulness, subduing the greed and sorrow of the world. Likewise, abide in the contemplation of the body without, the body within and without, feelings, mind, and Dharma, with diligence and effort, with right wisdom and right mindfulness, subduing the greed and sorrow of the world. This is what it means to be your own island, the Dharma your island, not another your island.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 24 Taisho Tripitaka, Vol. 02, No. 0099, Samyukta Agama Sutra Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 25 Translated by Tripitaka Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India (640) At that time, the World Honored One said to Venerable Ananda: 'In this country of Mathura, in the future, there will be a merchant's son named Gupta. Gupta will have a son named Upagupta. One hundred years after my Parinirvana, he will perform the Buddha's work and will be the foremost among the teachers.'


。阿難!汝遙見彼青色叢林不?」

阿難白佛:「唯然,已見。世尊!」

「阿難!是處名為優留曼茶山,如來滅后百歲,此山當有那吒跋置迦阿蘭若處,此處隨順寂默最為第一。」

爾時,世尊作是念:「我若以教法付囑人者,恐我教法不得久住;若付囑天者,恐我教法亦不得久住,世間人民則無有受法者。我今當以正法付囑人、天,諸天、世人共攝受法者,我之教法則千歲不動。」爾時,世尊起世俗心。

時,天帝釋及四大天王知佛心念,來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告天帝釋及四大天王:「如來不久當於無餘涅槃而般涅槃,我般涅槃后,汝等當護持正法。」

爾時世尊復告東方天王:「汝當於東方護持正法。」次告南方、西方、北方天王:「汝當於北方護持正法。過千歲后,我教法滅時,當有非法出於世間,十善悉壞。閻浮提中,惡風暴起,水雨不時,世多饑饉,雨則災雹,江河消滅,華果不成,人無光澤,蟲村鬼村悉皆磨滅,飲食失味,珍寶沉沒,人民服食粗澀草木。

「時,有釋迦王、耶槃那王、缽羅婆王、兜沙羅王,眾多眷屬。如來頂骨、佛牙、佛缽安置東方。西方有王,名缽羅婆,百千眷屬,破壞塔寺,殺害比丘

現代漢語譯本:阿難,你遠遠地看到那片青色的樹林了嗎? 阿難回答佛說:『是的,世尊,我已經看到了。』 『阿難,那個地方叫做優留曼茶山。如來滅度后一百年,這座山將會有那吒跋置迦的修行場所,那裡最適合修行寂靜。』 當時,世尊心中想:『如果我把教法託付給人類,恐怕我的教法不能長久住世;如果託付給天神,恐怕我的教法也不能長久住世,世間人民就沒有接受佛法的人了。我現在應當把正法託付給人和天神,讓天神和世人共同接受佛法,我的教法才能千年不動搖。』當時,世尊生起了世俗的想法。 這時,天帝釋和四大天王知道佛的心意,來到佛的住所,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。 當時,世尊告訴天帝釋和四大天王:『如來不久將進入無餘涅槃而般涅槃,我般涅槃后,你們應當護持正法。』 當時,世尊又告訴東方天王:『你應當在東方護持正法。』接著告訴南方、西方、北方天王:『你們應當在北方護持正法。過了一千年后,我的教法滅亡時,將會有非法出現於世間,十善全部敗壞。閻浮提中,惡風暴起,雨水不按時節,世間多有饑荒,下雨則有災雹,江河消失,花果不結果實,人們沒有光澤,蟲村鬼村全部消滅,飲食失去味道,珍寶沉沒,人民只能吃粗糙的草木。 『那時,會有釋迦王、耶槃那王、缽羅婆王、兜沙羅王,以及眾多眷屬。如來的頂骨、佛牙、佛缽安置在東方。西方有一位國王,名叫缽羅婆,帶著成千上萬的眷屬,破壞佛塔寺廟,殺害比丘。』

English version: 'Ananda, do you see that blue forest in the distance?' Ananda replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable One, I have seen it.' 'Ananda, that place is called Mount Urumanda. A hundred years after the Tathagata's passing, there will be a place for practice called Natabhatika on this mountain, which is most suitable for practicing in silence.' At that time, the World Honored One thought: 'If I entrust the Dharma to humans, I fear that my Dharma will not last long; if I entrust it to the gods, I fear that my Dharma will also not last long, and the people of the world will have no one to receive the Dharma. Now I should entrust the true Dharma to both humans and gods, so that gods and people together can receive the Dharma, and my Dharma will not be shaken for a thousand years.' At that time, the World Honored One had a worldly thought. Then, Indra and the Four Heavenly Kings, knowing the Buddha's thoughts, came to the Buddha's place, bowed at his feet, and sat to one side. At that time, the World Honored One told Indra and the Four Heavenly Kings: 'The Tathagata will soon enter Parinirvana without remainder. After my Parinirvana, you should protect the true Dharma.' At that time, the World Honored One again told the Eastern Heavenly King: 'You should protect the true Dharma in the East.' Then he told the Southern, Western, and Northern Heavenly Kings: 'You should protect the true Dharma in the North. After a thousand years, when my Dharma is destroyed, there will be unrighteousness in the world, and the ten virtues will all be ruined. In Jambudvipa, evil winds will rise violently, rain will not come in season, there will be much famine in the world, and when it rains, there will be hail. Rivers will disappear, flowers and fruits will not bear fruit, people will have no luster, insect villages and ghost villages will all be destroyed, food will lose its taste, treasures will sink, and people will only eat coarse grass and wood.' 'At that time, there will be King Shakya, King Yavana, King Prabha, and King Dushara, along with many retinues. The Tathagata's skull bone, Buddha's tooth, and Buddha's bowl will be placed in the East. In the West, there will be a king named Prabha, with hundreds of thousands of retinues, who will destroy pagodas and temples and kill monks.'


。北方有王,名耶槃那,百千眷屬,破壞塔寺,殺害比丘。南方有王,名釋迦,百千眷屬,破壞塔寺,殺害比丘。東方有王,名兜沙羅,百千眷屬,破壞塔寺,殺害比丘。四方盡亂,諸比丘來集中國。

「時,拘睒彌國有王,名摩因陀羅西那,其王生子,手似血涂,身似甲冑,有大勇力。其生之日,五百大臣生五百子,皆類王子,血手胄身。

「時,拘睒彌國,一日雨血。拘睒彌王見此惡相,即大恐怖,請問相師。相師白王:『王今生子,當王閻浮提,多殺害人,生子七日,字曰難當,年漸長大。時,四惡王從四方來殺人民,摩因陀羅西那王聞則恐怖。』

「時,有天神告言:『大王且立難當為王,足能降伏彼四惡王。』時,摩因陀羅西那王受天神教,即舍位與子,以髻中明珠冠其子首,集諸大臣,香水灌頂。召五百大臣同日生子,身被甲冑,從王出征,與四惡王大眾戰;勝,殺害都盡,王閻浮提,治在拘睒彌鞞國。」

爾時,世尊告四大天王:「巴連弗國,于彼國當有婆羅門,名曰阿耆尼達多,通達比陀經論,彼婆羅門當納妻。彼時,中陰眾生當來與其作子,入母胎中時,彼母欲與人論議

現代漢語譯本:北方有一個國王,名叫耶槃那,他有成千上萬的眷屬,破壞佛塔寺廟,殺害僧侶。南方有一個國王,名叫釋迦,他有成千上萬的眷屬,破壞佛塔寺廟,殺害僧侶。東方有一個國王,名叫兜沙羅,他有成千上萬的眷屬,破壞佛塔寺廟,殺害僧侶。四方都陷入混亂,各地的僧侶都來到中國聚集。 當時,拘睒彌國有一個國王,名叫摩因陀羅西那,這個國王生了一個兒子,手像塗了血一樣,身體像穿著盔甲,非常有勇力。他出生的那天,五百個大臣也各自生了五百個兒子,都和王子一樣,手是血紅色的,身體穿著盔甲。 當時,拘睒彌國有一天下了血雨。拘睒彌國王看到這個不祥的徵兆,非常恐懼,就請教相師。相師告訴國王:『大王您現在生的這個兒子,將來會統治閻浮提,會殺害很多人。這個兒子出生七天後,名字叫做難當,年紀漸漸長大。那時,四個惡王會從四方來殺害人民,摩因陀羅西那國王聽到后非常恐懼。』 當時,有天神告訴他說:『大王您應該立難當為王,他足以降伏那四個惡王。』當時,摩因陀羅西那國王接受了天神的教誨,就把王位讓給了兒子,用髮髻中的明珠給兒子戴上王冠,召集所有大臣,用香水給兒子灌頂。又召集了五百個大臣在同一天出生的兒子,他們都身穿盔甲,跟隨國王出征,與四個惡王的大軍作戰;最終獲得了勝利,把他們全部殺光,統治了閻浮提,在拘睒彌鞞國治理國家。 那時,世尊告訴四大天王:『在巴連弗國,那個國家將會有一個婆羅門,名叫阿耆尼達多,他精通吠陀經論。這個婆羅門將會娶妻。那時,中陰眾生將會來投胎做他的兒子,當進入母親的胎中時,他的母親就喜歡與人辯論。』

English version: In the north, there was a king named Yevana, who had thousands of followers, destroyed pagodas and temples, and killed monks. In the south, there was a king named Shakya, who had thousands of followers, destroyed pagodas and temples, and killed monks. In the east, there was a king named Dushara, who had thousands of followers, destroyed pagodas and temples, and killed monks. All four directions were in chaos, and monks from all over gathered in China. At that time, there was a king in the country of Kausambi named Mahendrasena. This king had a son whose hands were like smeared with blood, and his body was like wearing armor, and he was very brave. On the day he was born, five hundred ministers also each had five hundred sons, all of whom were like the prince, with blood-red hands and wearing armor. At that time, it rained blood in the country of Kausambi one day. When the king of Kausambi saw this ominous sign, he was very frightened and consulted a fortune teller. The fortune teller told the king: 'Your Majesty, the son you have now will rule Jambudvipa in the future and will kill many people. This son will be named Nandana seven days after his birth, and he will gradually grow up. At that time, four evil kings will come from all directions to kill the people, and King Mahendrasena will be very frightened when he hears this.' At that time, a deity told him: 'Your Majesty, you should make Nandana the king, and he will be able to subdue those four evil kings.' At that time, King Mahendrasena accepted the deity's teachings, abdicated the throne to his son, crowned his son with the pearl from his hair bun, summoned all the ministers, and poured fragrant water on his son's head. He also summoned the sons of the five hundred ministers who were born on the same day, all of whom were wearing armor, and followed the king to battle, fighting against the armies of the four evil kings; they eventually won the victory, killing them all, and ruled Jambudvipa, governing the country in Kausambi. At that time, the World Honored One told the Four Heavenly Kings: 'In the country of Pataliputra, there will be a Brahmin named Agnidatta, who is proficient in the Vedas. This Brahmin will marry a wife. At that time, an intermediate being will come to be his son, and when he enters his mother's womb, his mother will like to argue with people.'


。彼婆羅門即問諸相師,相師答云:『是胎中眾生當了達一切論,故令母生如是論議之心,欲將人論議。』如是日月滿足,出生母胎,以為童子,了達一切經論,恒以經論教授五百婆羅門子,及余諸論教授餘人,以醫方教醫方者,如是有眾多弟子。有眾多弟子故,名曰弟子。次當從父母求出家學道,乃至父母聽其出家,彼即於我法中出家學道,通達三藏,善能說法,辯才巧妙,言語談說,攝多眷屬。」

又復,世尊告四大天王:「即此巴連弗邑國中,當有大商主,名曰須陀那,中陰眾生來入母胎。彼眾生入母胎時,令母質直柔和,無諸邪想,諸根寂靜。

「時,彼商主即問相師,相師答曰:『胎中眾生極為良善,故令母如是,乃至諸根寂靜。』至月滿足,便生童子,名曰修羅他。年紀漸長,乃至啟白父母,求出家學道。父母即聽,於我法中出家學道,勤行精進,修習道業,便得漏盡,證阿羅漢果。然寡聞、少欲、知足及少知,舊居在山藪林間,山名揵陀摩羅。

「時,彼聖人恒來為難當王說法。彼父王當無常,無常之日,難當見父過世,兩手抱父尸,悲號啼哭,憂惱傷心

現代漢語譯本:那婆羅門就去問相師,相師回答說:『這個胎中的眾生將通曉一切論典,所以才使得他母親產生這樣的論議之心,想要與人辯論。』這樣經過日月滿足,他從母胎出生,成為一個童子,通曉一切經論,經常用經論教導五百個婆羅門子,又用其他論典教導其他人,用醫方教導學習醫方的人,像這樣有很多弟子。因為有很多弟子,所以名叫弟子。之後他會向父母請求出家學道,直到父母允許他出家,他就在我的佛法中出家學道,通達三藏,善於說法,辯才巧妙,言語談論,攝受很多眷屬。 現代漢語譯本:又,世尊告訴四大天王:『在這巴連弗邑國中,將有一位大商主,名叫須陀那,中陰眾生會來投胎入他母親的腹中。當這個眾生進入母胎時,會使得他母親正直柔和,沒有邪念,諸根寂靜。』 現代漢語譯本:『當時,那位商主就去問相師,相師回答說:『胎中的眾生非常善良,所以才使得他母親這樣,乃至諸根寂靜。』等到月滿,就生下一個童子,名叫修羅他。年紀漸漸長大,直到他稟告父母,請求出家學道。父母就允許了他,他在我的佛法中出家學道,勤奮精進,修習道業,就證得漏盡,成就阿羅漢果。然而他寡聞、少欲、知足並且少知,以前住在山林之間,那座山名叫揵陀摩羅。 現代漢語譯本:『當時,那位聖人經常來為難當王說法。他的父王將要無常,在無常的那天,難當看見父親去世,雙手抱著父親的屍體,悲傷啼哭,憂愁傷心。』

English version: Then that Brahmin asked the soothsayers, and the soothsayers replied, 『The being in this womb will understand all treatises, therefore causing his mother to have such a mind for debate, desiring to argue with people.』 Thus, when the months and days were fulfilled, he was born from his mother's womb as a child, understanding all scriptures and treatises. He constantly used scriptures and treatises to teach five hundred Brahmin sons, and used other treatises to teach others. He used medical knowledge to teach those who studied medicine. In this way, he had many disciples. Because he had many disciples, he was called 'Disciple'. Later, he would ask his parents for permission to leave home and study the Way, until his parents allowed him to leave home. He then left home and studied the Way in my Dharma, mastering the Three Baskets, being skilled in preaching, having eloquent speech, and gathering many followers. English version: Furthermore, the World Honored One told the Four Heavenly Kings, 『In this city of Pataliputra, there will be a great merchant named Sudana. A being from the intermediate state will enter his mother's womb. When this being enters the womb, it will make his mother upright and gentle, without any evil thoughts, and with her senses tranquil.』 English version: 『At that time, the merchant asked the soothsayers, and the soothsayers replied, 『The being in the womb is extremely virtuous, therefore causing his mother to be like this, even to the point of her senses being tranquil.』 When the months were fulfilled, a child was born, named Suratha. As he grew older, he eventually told his parents, asking to leave home and study the Way. His parents then allowed him, and he left home and studied the Way in my Dharma, diligently practicing and cultivating the path, and then attained the extinction of outflows, realizing the fruit of an Arhat. However, he was of little learning, few desires, content, and of little knowledge. He used to live in the mountains and forests, on a mountain named Gandhamadana.』 English version: 『At that time, that sage often came to preach to the king who was difficult to deal with. His father, the king, would pass away. On the day of his passing, Nandana would see his father die, and he would hold his father's corpse in his arms, weeping and wailing, sorrowful and heartbroken.』


。時,彼三藏將多眷屬來詣王所,為王說法,王聞法已,憂惱即止,于佛法中生大敬信,而發聲唱言:『自今以後,我施諸比丘無恐畏,適意為樂。』而問比丘:『前四惡王毀滅佛法有幾年歲?』諸比丘答云:『經十二年。』王心念口言,作師子吼:『我當十二年中,當供養五眾,乃至辦諸供具。』即便行施,行施之日,天當降香澤之雨,遍閻浮提,一切實種皆得增長。諸方人眾皆持供養,來詣拘睒彌國,供養眾僧。

「時,諸比丘大得供養。諸比丘輩食人信施,而不讀誦經書,不薩阇為人受經。戲論過日,眠臥終夜,貪著利養,好自嚴飾,身著妙服,離諸出要、寂靜、出家、三菩提樂。形類比丘,離沙門功德,是法中之大賊,助作末世壞正法幢,建惡魔幢,滅正法炬,然煩惱火,壞正法鼓,毀正法輪,消正法海,壞正法山,破正法城,拔正法樹,毀禪定智慧,斷戒瓔珞,污染正道。

「時,彼天、龍、鬼神、夜叉、乾闥婆等,于諸比丘所生惡意,毀訾諸比丘,厭惡、遠離,不復相親,異口同音:『嗚呼!如是惡比丘,不應于如來法中

當時,那位三藏法師帶領眾多眷屬來到國王那裡,為國王說法。國王聽聞佛法后,憂愁煩惱立即止息,對佛法產生了極大的敬信,並大聲宣告:『從今以後,我將給予所有比丘無所畏懼的供養,讓他們感到舒適快樂。』他問比丘們:『之前那四位惡王摧毀佛法持續了多少年?』比丘們回答說:『經歷了十二年。』國王心中思量,口中發出如獅子般的吼聲:『我將在十二年內,供養五眾,乃至備辦一切供養之物。』他立即開始佈施。佈施的那天,天空降下香澤之雨,遍佈整個閻浮提,一切穀物種子都得以生長。四方民眾都帶著供養,來到拘睒彌國,供養僧眾。 當時,比丘們獲得了大量的供養。這些比丘們享用著人們的信施,卻不誦讀經書,也不為他人傳授佛法。他們整日嬉戲閑談,夜晚沉睡,貪戀利養,喜歡打扮自己,身穿華麗的衣服,遠離了出離、寂靜、出家和三菩提的快樂。他們外形像比丘,卻失去了沙門的功德,是佛法中的大盜賊,助長末世破壞正法的旗幟,建立惡魔的旗幟,熄滅正法的火炬,點燃煩惱的火焰,摧毀正法的鼓,破壞正法的法輪,消減正法的海洋,摧毀正法的山,破壞正法的城,拔除正法的樹,毀壞禪定智慧,斷絕戒律的瓔珞,污染正道。 當時,天、龍、鬼神、夜叉、乾闥婆等,對這些比丘產生了惡意,詆譭他們,厭惡、疏遠他們,不再親近,異口同聲地說:『唉!這樣的惡比丘,不應該存在於如來的佛法中。』

At that time, the Tripitaka master, with many followers, came to the king and preached the Dharma to him. Upon hearing the Dharma, the king's worries and distress immediately ceased, and he developed great faith and respect for the Buddha's teachings. He proclaimed loudly: 'From now on, I will provide all the monks with fearless offerings, so that they may feel comfortable and happy.' He asked the monks: 'How many years did the previous four evil kings destroy the Dharma?' The monks replied: 'It lasted for twelve years.' The king pondered in his heart and roared like a lion: 'Within twelve years, I will provide for the five assemblies, and even prepare all the necessary offerings.' He immediately began to give alms. On the day of giving, the sky rained fragrant nectar, covering the entire Jambudvipa, and all grain seeds grew. People from all directions brought offerings and came to Kausambi to offer to the Sangha. At that time, the monks received abundant offerings. These monks enjoyed the offerings given by the faithful, but they did not recite scriptures, nor did they teach the Dharma to others. They spent their days in idle chatter and play, and slept through the nights. They were greedy for gain, liked to adorn themselves, wore fine clothes, and were far from the joy of renunciation, tranquility, monastic life, and Bodhi. They were monks in appearance, but they had lost the virtues of a Shramana. They were great thieves in the Dharma, helping to raise the banner of destroying the true Dharma in the last age, establishing the banner of demons, extinguishing the torch of the true Dharma, igniting the flames of affliction, destroying the drum of the true Dharma, breaking the wheel of the true Dharma, diminishing the ocean of the true Dharma, destroying the mountain of the true Dharma, breaking the city of the true Dharma, uprooting the tree of the true Dharma, destroying meditation and wisdom, severing the necklace of precepts, and polluting the true path. At that time, gods, dragons, ghosts, yakshas, gandharvas, and others developed ill will towards these monks, slandering them, disliking and distancing themselves from them, no longer being close, and saying in unison: 'Alas! Such evil monks should not exist in the Dharma of the Tathagata.'


。』而說偈言:

「『非吉行惡行,  行諸邪見法,   此諸愚癡人,  打壞正法山,   行諸惡戒法,  棄諸如法行,   舍諸勝妙法,  拔除今佛法,   不信不調伏,  樂行諸惡行,   諂偽誑世間,  打破牟尼法,   毀形習諸惡,  兇暴及千行,   依法誑世人,  忿恨自貢高,   貪著求名利,  無惡業不備,   如佛所說法,  法沒有是相,   今者悉已見,  智者所輕賤,   此法今出已,  牟尼正法海,   不久當枯竭,  正法今少在,   惡人復來滅,  毀壞我正法。』

「時,彼諸天、龍、神等皆生不歡喜心,不復當護諸比丘,而同聲唱言:『佛法卻後七日滅盡。』號啕悲泣,共相謂言:『至比丘說戒日,共相鬥諍,如來正法于中而滅。』如是諸天悲惱啼泣

現代漢語譯本:於是,他說了這樣的偈語: 『不行善事而行惡事,奉行各種邪見之法,這些愚癡之人,摧毀了正法之山。 奉行各種惡戒之法,拋棄如法之行,捨棄殊勝微妙之法,拔除當今佛法。 不信佛法,不調伏自己,喜歡做各種惡行,諂媚虛偽地欺騙世人,破壞牟尼的教法。 外表修行卻習諸惡行,兇暴且行為惡劣,假借佛法欺騙世人,憤怒怨恨且自高自大。 貪圖名利,無惡不作,正如佛陀所說,法本無常,現在都已顯現,被智者所輕視。 此法如今已出現,牟尼的正法之海,不久將要枯竭,正法現在已經很少了。 惡人又來滅法,毀壞我的正法。』 當時,那些天、龍、神等都生起了不歡喜的心,不再護持那些比丘,他們同聲唱道:『佛法將在七日後滅盡。』他們號啕大哭,互相說道:『到了比丘說戒的日子,他們互相爭鬥,如來的正法就在其中滅亡。』這些天神悲傷地哭泣。

English version: Then, he spoke these verses: 'Not practicing good deeds but practicing evil deeds, adhering to various heretical views, these foolish people destroy the mountain of the true Dharma. Practicing various evil precepts, abandoning the practice of the Dharma, forsaking the supreme and subtle Dharma, uprooting the present Buddha's Dharma. Not believing in the Dharma, not subduing themselves, delighting in doing various evil deeds, flattering and falsely deceiving the world, destroying the teachings of Muni. Appearing to practice but engaging in evil deeds, being violent and behaving wickedly, deceiving the world by misusing the Dharma, being angry, resentful, and arrogant. Greedy for fame and profit, committing all kinds of evil, just as the Buddha said, the Dharma is impermanent, now all has appeared, and is despised by the wise. This Dharma has now appeared, the ocean of Muni's true Dharma, will soon dry up, the true Dharma is now scarce. Evil people come again to destroy the Dharma, ruining my true Dharma.' At that time, those gods, dragons, spirits, etc., all developed unhappy minds and no longer protected those monks. They cried out in unison: 'The Buddha's Dharma will be extinguished in seven days.' They wailed and wept, saying to each other: 'On the day the monks recite the precepts, they will fight each other, and the Tathagata's true Dharma will perish among them.' These gods were sad and wept.


「時,拘睒彌城中有五百優婆塞,聞諸天之言,共詣諸比丘眾中,諫諸比丘斗諍,而說偈言:

「『嗚呼苦劇歲,  愍念群生生,   其法今便滅,  釋師子王法,   惡輪壞法輪,  如是盡金剛,   乃能不即壞,  安隱時已滅,   危險法已起,  明智人已過,   今見如是相,  當知不復久,   牟尼法斷滅,  世間無復明,   離垢寂滅口,  牟尼日今沒,   世人失伏藏,  善惡無差別,   善惡無差已,  誰能得正覺,   法燈今在世,  及時行諸善,   無量諸福田,  此法今當滅,   是故我等輩,  知財不堅牢,   及時取堅實。』

「至十五日說戒時,法當沒,今日五百優婆塞,一日之中,造五百佛塔。時,諸優婆塞各有餘務,不復來往眾僧眾中。

「爾時,住揵陀摩羅山修羅他阿羅漢觀閻浮提:『今日何處有眾僧說戒?』見有拘睒彌國如來弟子說戒為布薩,即詣拘睒彌。

「時,彼僧眾乃有百千人,中唯有一阿羅漢,名曰修羅他。又復有一三藏,名曰弟子,此是如來最後大眾集。爾時,維那行舍羅籌,白三藏上座言:『眾僧已集,有百千人,今為說波羅提木叉

現代漢語譯本:當時,拘睒彌城中有五百位在家信徒,他們聽到了天神的話語,一同來到比丘僧團中,勸誡比丘們停止爭鬥,並說了這樣一些偈語: 『唉,這真是痛苦的年代啊,可憐眾生還在輪迴中掙扎。佛法現在就要衰敗了,釋迦獅子王的教法啊!惡的輪子正在破壞法輪,即使是金剛般的教法,也無法立刻避免衰敗。安穩的時代已經過去,危險的教法已經興起,明智的人已經離去。現在看到這樣的景象,應當知道佛法衰敗的日子不遠了。牟尼的教法即將斷滅,世間將不再有光明。清凈寂滅的教誨,牟尼的太陽現在就要隕落了。世人失去了寶藏,善與惡沒有了差別。善惡沒有差別之後,誰還能獲得正覺呢?佛法的明燈現在還在世間,要及時行善啊。無量的福田,這佛法現在就要衰敗了。所以我們這些人,知道財富不是堅固的,要及時獲取堅實的真理。』 到了十五日說戒的時候,佛法將要衰敗,今天這五百位在家信徒,在一天之內,建造了五百座佛塔。當時,這些在家信徒各自有其他事務,不再來往于僧團之中。 那時,住在揵陀摩羅山的修羅他阿羅漢觀察閻浮提:『今天哪裡有僧團在說戒呢?』他看到拘睒彌國有如來的弟子正在說戒,舉行布薩,就前往了拘睒彌。 當時,那裡的僧團有百千人,其中只有一位阿羅漢,名叫修羅他。還有一位三藏法師,名叫弟子,這是如來最後的僧眾集會。當時,維那行舍羅籌,稟告三藏上座說:『僧眾已經聚集,有百千人,現在可以誦說波羅提木叉了。』

English version: At that time, there were five hundred lay devotees in the city of Kausambi. Having heard the words of the gods, they went together to the assembly of monks, admonishing the monks to cease their disputes, and spoke these verses: 'Alas, this is a time of great suffering, pitying the beings still struggling in samsara. The Dharma is now about to decline, the teachings of the Lion King Shakyamuni! The wheel of evil is destroying the Dharma wheel, even the diamond-like Dharma cannot immediately avoid decay. The time of peace has passed, the dangerous Dharma has arisen, and the wise have departed. Seeing such signs now, one should know that the day of the Dharma's decline is not far off. The teachings of Muni are about to be extinguished, and the world will no longer have light. The pure and tranquil teachings, the sun of Muni is now about to set. The people of the world have lost their treasure, and there is no distinction between good and evil. After there is no distinction between good and evil, who can attain enlightenment? The lamp of the Dharma is still in the world, so act with goodness in time. The immeasurable fields of merit, this Dharma is now about to decline. Therefore, we, knowing that wealth is not firm, should obtain the firm truth in time.' On the fifteenth day, when the precepts were to be recited, the Dharma was about to decline. Today, these five hundred lay devotees built five hundred stupas in a single day. At that time, these lay devotees each had other affairs and no longer frequented the monastic community. Then, the Arhat Suratha, who resided on Mount Gandhamadana, observed Jambudvipa: 'Where is there a monastic community reciting the precepts today?' He saw that in the country of Kausambi, the disciples of the Tathagata were reciting the precepts, holding the Uposatha, and he went to Kausambi. At that time, there were hundreds of thousands of monks there, among whom there was only one Arhat, named Suratha. There was also a Tripitaka master, named Disciple, and this was the last gathering of the Tathagata's assembly. At that time, the Vinaya master distributed the counting sticks and reported to the Tripitaka elder: 'The monastic community has gathered, there are hundreds of thousands of people, now we can recite the Pratimoksha.'


。』時,彼上座答言:『閻浮提如來弟子皆來集此,數有百千。如是眾中,我為上首,了達三藏,尚不學戒律,況復餘者而有所學。今當爲誰而說戒律?』而說偈言:

「『今是十五日,  夜靜月清明,   如是諸比丘,  今集聽說戒,   一切閻浮提,  眾僧最後集,   我是眾中上,  不學戒律法,   況復餘僧眾,  而有所學習,   何能牟尼法,  釋迦師子王,   彼戒誰有持,  是人乃能說。』

「爾時,彼阿羅漢修羅他立上座前,合掌白上座言:『上座!但說波羅提木叉,如佛在世時,舍利弗、目揵連等大比丘眾所學法,我今已悉學。如來雖滅度,於今已千歲,彼所制律儀,我悉已備足。』而說偈言:

「『上座聽我說,  我名修羅他,   漏盡阿羅漢,  僧中師子吼。   牟尼真弟子,  信佛諸鬼神,   聞彼聖所說,  悲哀泣流淚。   低頭念法滅,  從今去已后,   無有說法者,  毗尼別解脫。   不復在於世,  法橋今已壞,   法水不復流,  法海已枯竭。   法山已崩頹,  法會從今絕,   法幢不復見,  法足不復行。   律儀戒永沒,  法燈不復照,   法輪不復轉,  閉塞甘露門

現代漢語譯本:當時,那位上座回答說:『閻浮提的如來弟子都聚集在這裡,人數有成百上千。在這些人中,我是首領,通達三藏,尚且不學習戒律,更何況其他人呢?現在要為誰說戒律呢?』於是說了偈語: 『今天是十五日,夜晚寂靜,月光明亮,像這樣的各位比丘,今天聚集在一起聽戒。整個閻浮提,僧眾最後一次聚集,我是僧眾中的首領,不學習戒律法,更何況其餘的僧眾,又有什麼學習呢?如何能讓牟尼的教法,釋迦獅子王的教法,誰能持守那些戒律,那個人才能宣說。』 『那時,那位阿羅漢修羅他站在上座面前,合掌對上座說:『上座!請宣說波羅提木叉,就像佛在世時,舍利弗、目犍連等大比丘眾所學習的法一樣,我現在都已經學會了。如來雖然已經滅度,至今已經千年,他所制定的律儀,我都已經具備。』於是說了偈語: 『上座聽我說,我的名字叫修羅他,是漏盡的阿羅漢,在僧眾中如獅子吼。牟尼的真正弟子,相信佛的諸位鬼神,聽到聖者所說,悲傷地哭泣流淚。低頭想到佛法將要滅亡,從今以後,沒有說法的人,毗尼別解脫,不再存在於世間,法橋現在已經毀壞,法水不再流淌,法海已經枯竭。法山已經崩塌,法會從今斷絕,法幢不再出現,法足不再行走。律儀戒永遠消失,法燈不再照耀,法輪不再轉動,關閉了甘露之門。』

English version: At that time, the senior monk replied, 『The disciples of the Tathagata in Jambudvipa have all gathered here, numbering in the hundreds and thousands. Among these people, I am the leader, and I understand the three baskets of teachings, yet I do not study the precepts. How much less would others? Who should I speak the precepts for now?』 Then he spoke a verse: 『Today is the fifteenth day, the night is quiet, and the moon is bright. Such are the monks gathered here today to listen to the precepts. The entire Jambudvipa, this is the last gathering of the Sangha. I am the leader among the Sangha, and I do not study the precepts. How much less would the rest of the Sangha have any learning? How can the teachings of Muni, the teachings of the Shakya Lion King, be upheld? Only the one who upholds those precepts can proclaim them.』 『At that time, the Arhat Shurata stood before the senior monk, joined his palms, and said to the senior monk, 『Senior monk! Please proclaim the Pratimoksha, just as the Dharma that was studied by the great monks such as Shariputra and Maudgalyayana when the Buddha was alive. I have now learned it all. Although the Tathagata has passed away, it has been a thousand years now, and I have fully equipped myself with the rules he established.』 Then he spoke a verse: 『Senior monk, listen to me, my name is Shurata, I am an Arhat who has exhausted all outflows, roaring like a lion in the Sangha. The true disciples of Muni, the gods who believe in the Buddha, hearing what the sage said, wept with sorrow. Bowing their heads, they thought of the Dharma』s extinction. From now on, there will be no one to preach the Dharma, the Vinaya Pratimoksha will no longer exist in the world. The bridge of Dharma is now destroyed, the water of Dharma no longer flows, the sea of Dharma has dried up. The mountain of Dharma has collapsed, the Dharma assembly is now cut off, the banner of Dharma is no longer seen, the feet of Dharma no longer walk. The precepts of discipline are forever gone, the lamp of Dharma no longer shines, the wheel of Dharma no longer turns, and the gate of nectar is closed.』


。   法師不在世,  善人說妙道,   眾生不識善,  不異於野獸。』

「爾時,佛母摩訶摩耶夫人天上來下,詣諸眾僧所,號啕啼泣:『嗚呼!苦哉!是我之子經歷阿僧祇劫,修諸苦行,不顧勞體,積德成佛,今者忽然消滅。』而說偈言:

「『我是佛親母,  我子積苦行,   經歷無數劫,  究竟成真道。   悲泣不自勝,  今法忽磨滅,   嗚呼智慧人,  爾今何所在。   持法舍諍訟,  從佛口所生,   諸王無上尊,  真實佛弟子。   頭陀修妙行,  宿止林藪間,   如是真佛子,  今為何所在。   今者於世間,  無有諸威德,   曠野山林間,  諸神寂無言。   施戒愍群生,  信戒自莊嚴,   忍辱質直行,  觀察諸善惡。   如是諸勝法,  今忽都已盡。』

「爾時,彼上座弟子作是念言:『彼修羅他比丘自言:「如來所制戒律,我悉備持。」』爾時,上座有弟子,名曰安伽陀,起不忍之心,極生忿恨。從座起,罵辱彼聖:『汝是下座比丘,愚癡無智,而毀辱我和上。』即持利刀,殺彼聖人,而說偈言:

「『我名安伽陀,  失沙之弟子,   利劍殺汝身,  自謂我有德

現代漢語譯本 『法師不在世,善人宣講精妙的佛法,眾生卻不認識善,和野獸沒什麼區別。』 『這時,佛母摩訶摩耶夫人從天而降,來到眾僧所在之處,號啕大哭:『唉!真是痛苦啊!我的兒子經歷了無數劫,修行各種苦行,不顧身體的勞累,積攢功德最終成佛,如今卻忽然消逝了。』她還說了這樣的偈語: 『我是佛陀的親生母親,我的兒子積累苦行,經歷了無數劫,最終成就了真道。 悲傷哭泣不能自已,如今佛法忽然要消滅,唉,有智慧的人啊,你們現在在哪裡? 持守佛法,捨棄爭訟,從佛口中教誨而出,諸王中無上的尊者,真實的佛弟子。 頭陀苦行,在林間草叢中過夜,像這樣的真佛子,現在在哪裡? 如今在世間,沒有了威德之人,曠野山林之間,諸神都寂靜無聲。 佈施、持戒、憐憫眾生,以信仰和戒律來莊嚴自身,忍辱、正直地修行,觀察各種善惡。 像這樣的殊勝佛法,如今都已消失殆盡。』 『這時,那位上座弟子的心中想:『那個修羅他比丘自己說:「如來所制定的戒律,我都全部遵守。」』這時,上座弟子中,有一個名叫安伽陀的,心中生起不忍,極其憤怒。他從座位上站起來,辱罵那位聖人:『你是個下座比丘,愚癡無知,竟然譭謗我的和尚。』隨即拿起利刀,殺死了那位聖人,並說了這樣的偈語: 『我名叫安伽陀,是失沙的弟子,用利劍殺死你,自認為我有功德。』

English version 'When the Dharma master is not in the world, good people preach the wonderful Dharma, but sentient beings do not recognize goodness, and are no different from wild beasts.' 'At that time, the Buddha's mother, Mahamaya, descended from the heavens and came to where the monks were, wailing and crying: 'Alas! How painful! My son went through countless kalpas, practicing all kinds of ascetic practices, disregarding the fatigue of his body, accumulating merit and finally becoming a Buddha, but now he has suddenly vanished.' She also spoke these verses: 'I am the Buddha's own mother, my son accumulated ascetic practices, went through countless kalpas, and finally achieved the true path. Grief and weeping cannot be contained, now the Dharma is suddenly about to disappear, alas, wise people, where are you now? Holding the Dharma, abandoning disputes, coming from the Buddha's teachings, the supreme among kings, the true disciples of the Buddha. Practicing asceticism, spending the night in the forest and bushes, where are such true disciples of the Buddha now? Now in the world, there are no people of virtue, in the wilderness and mountains, the gods are all silent. Giving, keeping precepts, having compassion for all beings, adorning oneself with faith and precepts, practicing patience and honesty, observing all good and evil. Such excellent Dharma, now has all disappeared.' 'At this time, that senior disciple thought in his heart: 'That Shura-ta Bhikkhu himself said: "The precepts established by the Tathagata, I have all observed." ' At this time, among the senior disciples, there was one named Angada, who felt unbearable in his heart and became extremely angry. He stood up from his seat and insulted that saint: 'You are a junior Bhikkhu, foolish and ignorant, and you actually slander my teacher.' Then he took a sharp knife and killed that saint, and spoke these verses: 'My name is Angada, a disciple of Shisha, I kill you with a sharp sword, and think that I have merit.'


。』

「爾時,有一鬼名曰大提木佉,作是念言:『世間唯有此一阿羅漢,而為惡比丘弟子所害。』執持金剛利杵,杵頭火然,以此打破彼頭,即便命終,而說偈言:

「『我是惡鬼神,  名大提木佉,   以此金剛杵,  破汝頭七分。』

「爾時,阿羅漢弟子見彼弟子殺害其師,忿恨不忍,即殺三藏。爾時,諸天、世人悲哀啼泣:『嗚呼!苦哉!如來正法今便都盡。』尋即此大地六種震動,無量眾生號啕啼泣,極為愁惱:『嗚呼!今日正法不復現世。』作是語已,各各離散。

「爾時,拘睒彌國五百優婆塞聞已,往詣寺中,舉手拍頭,高聲大哭:『嗚呼!如來愍念世間,濟諸群生,無有鉅細,誰當爲我說法義?今者,人、天解脫不復可得,眾生今日猶在闇瞑,無有引導,長習諸惡,以此為歡,如諸野獸;不聞牟尼妙法,身壞命終,墮在三塗。譬如流星,世人從今已后,無復念慧、寂靜、三昧、十力妙法。』

「爾時,拘睒彌王聞諸比丘殺真人阿羅漢及三藏法師,心生悲惱,惋慨而坐。爾時,諸邪見輩諍競打破塔廟,及害比丘,從是佛法索然頓滅。」

爾時,世尊語釋提桓因:「四大天王,諸天、世人於我滅度之後,法盡之相,如上所說

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一個鬼名叫大提木佉,他這樣想:『世間只有這一位阿羅漢,卻被惡比丘弟子所害。』他拿著金剛利杵,杵頭燃著火,用它打破了那個弟子的頭,那弟子立刻就死了。大提木佉還說了偈語:『我是惡鬼神,名叫大提木佉,用這金剛杵,將你的頭打成七分。』 當時,阿羅漢的弟子們看到那個弟子殺害了自己的老師,憤怒難忍,就殺了三藏法師。當時,諸天和世人都悲哀地哭泣:『唉呀!太痛苦了!如來的正法現在就要完全消失了。』隨即,大地發生了六種震動,無數眾生號啕大哭,非常愁苦:『唉呀!今天正法不會再出現在世上了。』說完這些話,他們各自散去了。 當時,拘睒彌國的五百位優婆塞聽到這件事後,來到寺廟,舉起手拍打自己的頭,大聲痛哭:『唉呀!如來憐憫世間,救濟所有眾生,無論大小,誰來為我們講說佛法?現在,人天解脫不再可能,眾生今天仍然處在黑暗之中,沒有引導,長期習慣於各種惡行,以此為樂,就像野獸一樣;聽不到牟尼的妙法,身壞命終,墮入三惡道。就像流星一樣,世人從今以後,不再有念慧、寂靜、三昧、十力這些妙法了。』 當時,拘睒彌國王聽到比丘們殺害了真人阿羅漢和三藏法師,心中悲傷難過,惋惜地坐著。當時,那些邪見的人互相爭鬥,打破佛塔和寺廟,還殺害比丘,從此佛法就完全滅絕了。 當時,世尊告訴釋提桓因:『四大天王,諸天和世人在我滅度之後,佛法衰敗的景象,就像上面所說的那樣。』

English version: At that time, there was a ghost named Datimukha, who thought, 'There is only this one Arhat in the world, and he has been harmed by evil bhikkhu disciples.' He held a vajra pestle, the head of which was ablaze, and used it to smash the head of that disciple, who died immediately. Datimukha also spoke a verse: 'I am an evil ghost, named Datimukha, with this vajra pestle, I will break your head into seven pieces.' At that time, the disciples of the Arhat, seeing that disciple kill their teacher, were filled with unbearable anger and killed the Tripitaka master. At that time, the gods and people of the world wept in sorrow: 'Alas! How painful! The Tathagata's true Dharma is now about to completely disappear.' Immediately, the earth shook in six ways, and countless beings wailed and cried, extremely distressed: 'Alas! Today, the true Dharma will no longer appear in the world.' After saying these words, they each dispersed. At that time, five hundred upasakas of the country of Kausambi, upon hearing this, went to the temple, raised their hands and beat their heads, crying loudly: 'Alas! The Tathagata had compassion for the world, saving all beings, great and small. Who will now explain the Dharma to us? Now, liberation for humans and gods is no longer possible. Beings today are still in darkness, without guidance, long accustomed to all kinds of evil, taking pleasure in it, like wild beasts; they do not hear the wonderful Dharma of Muni, and when their bodies break and their lives end, they fall into the three evil paths. Like a shooting star, from now on, people will no longer have the wonderful Dharma of mindfulness, wisdom, tranquility, samadhi, and the ten powers.' At that time, the king of Kausambi, upon hearing that the bhikkhus had killed the true Arhat and the Tripitaka master, felt grief and sorrow in his heart, and sat down in lamentation. At that time, those with wrong views fought among themselves, destroying pagodas and temples, and also killing bhikkhus. From then on, the Buddha's Dharma was completely extinguished. At that time, the World Honored One said to Sakra, Lord of the Devas: 'The Four Great Heavenly Kings, the gods, and the people of the world, after my passing away, the signs of the Dharma's decline will be as described above.'


。是故汝等,今者不可不以勤力加於精進,護持正法,久令在世。」

爾時,諸天、世人聞佛所說,各各悲顏,以手揮淚,頂禮佛足,各自退去。

(六四一)

阿育王施半阿摩勒果因緣經

阿育王于如來法中得大敬信。時,王問諸比丘言:「誰于如來法中行大布施?」

諸比丘白王言:「給孤獨長者最行大施。」

王復問曰:「彼施幾許寶物?」

比丘答曰:「以億千金。」

王聞已。如是思惟:「彼長者尚能捨億千金,我今為王,何緣復以億千金施?當以億百千金施。」

時,王起八萬四千佛塔,于彼諸塔中復施百千金,復作五歲大會,會有三百千比丘,用三百億金供養于彼僧眾中。第一分是阿羅漢,第二分是學人,第三分是真實凡夫。除私庫藏,此閻浮提夫人、婇女、太子、大臣施與聖僧,四十億金還復贖取。如是計挍,用九十六億千金,乃至王得重病時,王自知命欲終盡。

時,有大臣名羅陀崛多。時,王宿命是施佛土時同伴小兒。時,彼大臣羅陀崛多見王重病,命垂欲盡,稽首以偈問王:

「顏貌常鮮澤,  百千婇女繞,  譬如諸蓮華,  蜜蜂當聚集,  今睹聖王顏,  無有諸鮮澤

現代漢語譯本:'因此,你們現在不可不更加勤勉努力,精進修行,護持正法,使其長久住世。' 現代漢語譯本:'當時,諸天和世人聽聞佛陀所說,都各自悲傷,用手拭淚,頂禮佛足,然後各自退去。' 現代漢語譯本:'(六四一)' 現代漢語譯本:'阿育王施半阿摩勒果因緣經' 現代漢語譯本:'阿育王對如來的佛法生起了極大的敬信。當時,國王問眾比丘:『誰在如來的佛法中行最大的佈施?』 現代漢語譯本:'眾比丘回答國王說:『給孤獨長者最行大布施。』 現代漢語譯本:'國王又問:『他佈施了多少寶物?』 現代漢語譯本:'比丘回答說:『用了一億千金。』 現代漢語譯本:'國王聽后,這樣思量:『那位長者尚且能捨一億千金,我如今身為國王,為何只施一億千金呢?應當施一億百千金。』 現代漢語譯本:'當時,國王建造了八萬四千座佛塔,在那些佛塔中又佈施了百千金,又舉辦了五年的大法會,法會有三百千比丘,用三百億金供養那些僧眾。第一部分是阿羅漢,第二部分是學人,第三部分是真實的凡夫。除了私庫的儲藏,這閻浮提的夫人、婇女、太子、大臣佈施給聖僧的四十億金又贖了回來。這樣計算,用了九十六億千金,乃至國王得了重病,國王自己知道生命將要終結。' 現代漢語譯本:'當時,有一位大臣名叫羅陀崛多。當時,國王的前世是佈施佛土時的一個同伴小孩。當時,那位大臣羅陀崛多看到國王重病,生命垂危,稽首以偈問國王:' 現代漢語譯本:'『您的容貌常保鮮亮光澤,百千婇女圍繞在您身邊,就像蓮花一樣,蜜蜂應當聚集,如今看到聖王的容顏,沒有了往日的鮮亮光澤。』

English version: 'Therefore, you all must now exert yourselves with diligence and vigor, practice diligently, protect the Right Dharma, and ensure that it remains in the world for a long time.' English version: 'At that time, the gods and people, upon hearing what the Buddha had said, were each filled with sorrow, wiped away their tears with their hands, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then each departed.' English version: '(641)' English version: 'The Sutra of King Ashoka's Offering of Half an Amalaka Fruit' English version: 'King Ashoka developed great faith and respect for the Tathagata's Dharma. At that time, the king asked the monks, 『Who has made the greatest offering in the Tathagata's Dharma?』 English version: 'The monks replied to the king, 『The elder Anathapindika has made the greatest offering.』 English version: 'The king then asked, 『How many treasures did he offer?』 English version: 'The monks replied, 『One hundred million gold coins.』 English version: 'Upon hearing this, the king thought, 『That elder was able to give away one hundred million gold coins, and I, as king, why should I only give one hundred million gold coins? I should give one hundred million times one hundred million gold coins.』 English version: 'At that time, the king built eighty-four thousand stupas, and in those stupas, he also offered one hundred million gold coins. He also held a five-year grand assembly, where there were three hundred thousand monks, and he used three hundred billion gold coins to make offerings to those monks. The first group were Arhats, the second group were those still learning, and the third group were ordinary people. Apart from the private treasury, the forty billion gold coins offered by the ladies, concubines, princes, and ministers of Jambudvipa to the holy monks were also redeemed. Calculating in this way, he used ninety-six billion times one thousand gold coins, until the king became seriously ill, and the king knew that his life was about to end.' English version: 'At that time, there was a minister named Radhagupta. In a past life, the king was a young child who was a companion when offering to the Buddha's land. At that time, the minister Radhagupta, seeing that the king was seriously ill and his life was hanging by a thread, bowed his head and asked the king in verse:' English version: '『Your countenance always shines with freshness, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of concubines, like lotuses, where bees should gather. Now, seeing the holy king's face, it has lost its former freshness and luster.』


。」

王即以偈答:

「我今無所憂,  失財及王位,  此身及余親,  及諸種種寶,  我今所愁者,  不復睹賢聖,  四事以供養,  我今唯念此,  顏色有變異,  心意無所寧。

「又復,我常所愿,欲以滿億百千金作功德,今愿不得滿足,便就後世時,計挍前後所施金銀珍寶,唯減四億未滿。」王即辦諸珍寶,送與雞雀寺中。

法益之子,名三波提,為太子諸臣等,啟太子言:「大王將終不久,今以此珍寶送與寺舍中,今庫藏財寶已竭,諸王法以物為尊,太子今宜斷之,勿使大王用盡也。」時,太子即敕典藏者,勿復出與大王用之。

時,大王自知索諸物不復能得,所食金器送與寺中。時,太子令斷金器,給以銀器,王食已,復送與寺中。又斷銀器,給以銅器,王亦以此送與寺中。又斷銅器,給以瓦器。

時,大王手中有半阿摩勒果,悲淚告諸大臣:「今誰為地主?」

時,諸臣啟白大王:「王為地主。」

時,王即說偈答曰:

「汝等護我心,  何假虛妄語,  我今坐王位,  不復得自在。  阿摩勒半果,  今在於我手,  此即是我物,  於是得自由

國王隨即用偈語回答: 『我現在沒有什麼憂愁,失去財產和王位,這身體和其餘親人,以及各種各樣的珍寶,我現在所憂愁的是,不能再見到賢聖,用四事來供養他們,我現在只想著這件事,容顏有了變化,心意沒有安寧。 『而且,我常常希望,用滿一億百千金來做功德,現在願望不能滿足,便考慮到後世時,計算前後所施捨的金銀珍寶,還差四億沒有滿。』國王隨即準備各種珍寶,送到雞雀寺中。 法益的兒子,名叫三波提,作為太子的大臣們,稟告太子說:『大王將要去世不久,現在把這些珍寶送到寺廟裡,現在國庫的財寶已經枯竭,各國王的法則是以財物為尊,太子現在應該阻止他,不要讓大王用盡。』當時,太子就命令掌管庫藏的人,不要再拿出東西給大王使用。 當時,大王自己知道索要東西不能再得到,就把所用的金器送到寺中。當時,太子命令停止使用金器,改用銀器,國王吃完飯後,又把銀器送到寺中。又停止使用銀器,改用銅器,國王也把銅器送到寺中。又停止使用銅器,改用瓦器。 當時,大王手中拿著半個阿摩勒果,悲傷地流著淚告訴各位大臣:『現在誰是這片土地的主人?』 當時,各位大臣稟告大王說:『您是這片土地的主人。』 當時,國王就用偈語回答說: 『你們護著我的心,何必說虛妄的話,我現在坐在王位上,卻不能再自由自在。這半個阿摩勒果,現在在我手中,這才是我的東西,我才能自由支配。』

The king then replied with a verse: 'I have no worries now, having lost wealth and the throne, this body and the rest of my relatives, and all kinds of treasures. What I worry about now is not being able to see the virtuous sages again, to offer them the four requisites. I am only thinking about this now, my appearance has changed, and my mind is not at peace. 'Moreover, I have always wished to perform meritorious deeds with a full hundred million gold pieces. Now that my wish cannot be fulfilled, I consider the next life, calculating the gold, silver, and treasures I have given away before and after, and I am still four hundred million short.' The king then prepared various treasures and sent them to the Chicken Sparrow Temple. The son of Dharma Benefit, named Samprati, as the ministers of the crown prince, reported to the crown prince, 'The great king will soon pass away. Now he is sending these treasures to the temple. The treasury's wealth is now exhausted. The law of kings is to value possessions. The crown prince should now stop him, and not let the great king use it all up.' At that time, the crown prince ordered the keeper of the treasury not to give anything more to the great king. At that time, the great king knew that he could no longer obtain anything, so he sent the gold utensils he used to the temple. At that time, the crown prince ordered the cessation of gold utensils and replaced them with silver utensils. After the king finished eating, he sent the silver utensils to the temple. Then, the silver utensils were stopped, and copper utensils were used instead. The king also sent the copper utensils to the temple. Then, the copper utensils were stopped, and earthenware utensils were used instead. At that time, the great king held half an amalaka fruit in his hand, and with tears of sorrow, he said to the ministers, 'Who is the master of this land now?' At that time, the ministers reported to the great king, 'You are the master of this land.' At that time, the king replied with a verse: 'You protect my heart, why speak false words? I am now sitting on the throne, but I can no longer be free. This half amalaka fruit, now in my hand, this is my possession, and I am free to do with it as I please.'


。  嗚呼尊富貴,  可厭可棄捨,  先領閻浮提,  今一旦貧至。  如恒河駛流,  一逝而不返,  富貴亦復然,  逝者不復還。」

又復,如佛偈所說:

「凡盛必有衰,  以衰為究竟,  如來神口說,  真實無有異,  先時所教令,  速疾無有閡,  今有所求索,  無復從我教,  如風閡于山,  如水閡于岸,  我今所教令,  於今已永絕,  將從無量眾,  擊鼓吹貝螺,  常作諸伎樂,  受諸五欲樂,  婇女數百眾,  日夜自娛樂,  今者都永盡,  如樹無花實,  顏貌轉枯盡,  色力亦復然,  如花轉萎悴,  我今亦復爾。」

時,阿育王呼侍者言:「汝今憶我恩養,汝持此半阿摩勒果送雞雀寺中,作我意,禮拜諸比丘僧足,白言:『阿育王問訊諸大聖眾,我是阿育王,領此閻浮提,閻浮提是我所有,今者頓盡,無有財寶佈施眾僧,於一切財而不得自在。今唯此半阿摩勒果,我得自由,此是最後佈施檀波羅蜜,哀愍我故,納受此施,令我得供養僧福。』而說偈言:

「半阿摩勒果,  是我之所有,  於我得自在,  今舍于大眾。  緣心在於聖,  更無濟我者,  憐愍於我故,  納受阿摩勒

現代漢語譯本: 唉,曾經尊貴的富貴,如今卻令人厭惡,可以拋棄。 先前統治著整個閻浮提,如今卻突然變得一貧如洗。 就像恒河的流水一樣,一去不復返。 富貴也是如此,逝去之後不會再回來。

又如佛偈所說:

凡是興盛的必定會衰敗,以衰敗為最終的結局。 這是如來親口所說,真實不虛。 先前所教導的命令,迅速而沒有阻礙。 如今有所求索,卻不再聽從我的教誨。 就像風被山阻擋,像水被岸阻隔。 我如今所發佈的命令,從今以後永遠失效。 曾經率領無數的民眾,敲鼓吹響海螺。 經常演奏各種樂曲,享受各種感官的快樂。 有數百名美女,日夜陪伴我享樂。 如今這一切都永遠消失了,就像樹木沒有花朵和果實。 容顏逐漸枯槁,氣色和體力也同樣衰退。 就像花朵逐漸凋零枯萎,我現在也是這樣。

當時,阿育王呼喚侍者說:『你現在還記得我養育你的恩情,你拿著這半個阿摩勒果送到雞雀寺中,代表我的心意,禮拜各位比丘僧的腳,稟告說:「阿育王問候各位大聖,我是阿育王,統治著這閻浮提,閻浮提的一切都屬於我,如今卻突然失去了一切,沒有財寶可以佈施給眾僧,對於一切財富都不能自主。現在只有這半個阿摩勒果,我可以自由支配,這是我最後一次佈施,是檀波羅蜜,請你們可憐我,接受我的佈施,讓我能夠供養僧眾,獲得福報。」』並說了偈語:

『這半個阿摩勒果,是我唯一擁有的, 我可以自由支配,現在把它佈施給大眾。 我的心寄託在聖賢身上,再也沒有誰能救濟我了。 請你們可憐我,接受這阿摩勒果。』

English version: Alas, the honored wealth and nobility, now are detestable and can be discarded. Previously ruling over the entire Jambudvipa, now suddenly reduced to poverty. Like the swift flow of the Ganges, once gone, it never returns. Wealth and nobility are also like this, once gone, they do not come back.

Furthermore, as the Buddha's verse says:

All that flourishes must decline, with decline as the ultimate end. This is what the Tathagata said with his own mouth, it is true and without difference. The commands given earlier were swift and without hindrance. Now, when I seek something, they no longer follow my teachings. Like the wind blocked by a mountain, like water blocked by a shore. The commands I issue now are forever ineffective from this day forward. I once led countless people, beating drums and blowing conch shells. I often played various musical instruments, enjoying all kinds of sensual pleasures. I had hundreds of beautiful women, who entertained me day and night. Now all of this is gone forever, like a tree without flowers or fruit. My complexion is gradually withering, my color and strength are also declining. Like a flower that gradually withers and fades, I am now also like that.

At that time, King Ashoka called his attendant and said: 'You still remember the kindness of my nurturing you, take this half of an Amalaka fruit to the Chicken-Sparrow Temple, as my intention, bow to the feet of all the Bhikkhu monks, and report: 「King Ashoka sends greetings to all the great saints, I am King Ashoka, ruling over this Jambudvipa, everything in Jambudvipa belongs to me, but now I have suddenly lost everything, I have no treasures to give to the monks, I have no control over any wealth. Now I only have this half of an Amalaka fruit, which I can freely dispose of, this is my last offering, it is Dana Paramita, please have mercy on me, accept my offering, so that I can make offerings to the monks and gain blessings.」』 And he spoke the verse:

'This half of an Amalaka fruit, is all that I possess, I can freely dispose of it, now I give it to the assembly. My heart is placed on the saints, there is no one else who can save me. Please have mercy on me, accept this Amalaka fruit.'


。  為我食此施,  因是福無量,  世世受妙樂,  用之無有盡。」

時,彼使者受王敕已,即持此半阿摩勒果,至雞雀寺中,至上座前,五體著地作禮,長跪合掌,向上座而說偈曰:

「領于閻浮提,  一傘系一鼓,  遊行無所礙,  如日照於世,  業行報已至,  在世不復久,  無有王威德,  如日云所翳,  號曰阿育王,  稽首禮僧足,  送此佈施物,  謂半阿摩勒,  愿求來世福,  哀愍彼王故,  聖眾愍彼故,  受是半果施。」

時,彼上座告諸大眾:「誰聞是語而不厭世間?我等聞是事,不可不生厭離,如佛經所說。見他衰事,應生厭離,若有識類眾生者,聞是事豈得不捨世間?」而說偈曰:

「人王世中最,  阿育孔雀姓,  閻浮提自在,  阿摩勒為主,  太子及諸臣,  共奪大王施,  送半阿摩勒,  降伏憍財者,  使彼生厭心,  愚夫不識施,  因果受妙樂,  示送半摩勒。」

時,彼上座作是念言:「云何令此半阿摩勒,一切眾僧得其分食?」即教令研磨,著石榴羹中,行已,眾僧一切皆得周遍。

時,王復問傍臣曰:「誰是閻浮提王?」

臣啟王言:「大王是也

現代漢語譯本 『爲了我而食用這佈施,因此福德無量,世世代代享受美妙的快樂,用之不盡。』 當時,那位使者接受國王的命令后,就拿著這半個庵摩勒果,來到雞雀寺中,到上座面前,五體投地行禮,長跪合掌,向上座說偈語道: 『統治閻浮提,一把傘繫著一面鼓,**無所障礙,如同太陽照耀世間,業報已經到來,在世不久了,沒有了國王的威德,如同太陽被云遮蔽,名叫阿育王,稽首禮拜僧眾的腳,送來這佈施之物,說是半個庵摩勒果,愿求來世的福報,可憐他國王的緣故,聖眾可憐他的緣故,接受這半個果子的佈施。』 當時,那位上座告訴大眾:『誰聽到這些話而不厭惡世間?我們聽到這件事,不能不產生厭離之心,如同佛經所說。看到他人衰敗的事情,應該產生厭離之心,如果有識之眾生,聽到這件事怎麼能不捨棄世間呢?』於是說偈語道: 『人王是世間最尊貴的,阿育是孔雀的姓氏,在閻浮提自在,以庵摩勒果為主,太子和各位大臣,共同奪取了大王的佈施,送來半個庵摩勒果,是爲了降伏那些驕傲的富人,使他們產生厭離之心,愚蠢的人不認識佈施,因果會享受美妙的快樂,所以送來半個庵摩勒果。』 當時,那位上座這樣想:『如何讓這半個庵摩勒果,讓所有的僧眾都能分到食用?』就教導他們研磨,放在石榴羹中,分發后,所有的僧眾都得到了遍佈。 當時,國王又問身邊的臣子說:『誰是閻浮提的國王?』 臣子稟告國王說:『大王就是啊。』

English version 'For me to eat this offering, therefore the merit is immeasurable, generation after generation enjoying wonderful happiness, using it without end.' At that time, the messenger, having received the king's command, took this half amalaka fruit, went to the Chicken Sparrow Temple, and before the chief monk, prostrated himself with his five limbs touching the ground, knelt with palms together, and spoke a verse to the chief monk: 'Ruling over Jambudvipa, with one umbrella and one drum, **unobstructed, like the sun shining upon the world, the karmic retribution has arrived, not long remaining in the world, without the king's majesty, like the sun obscured by clouds, named King Ashoka, bowing his head to the feet of the monks, sending this offering, said to be half an amalaka fruit, wishing to seek blessings in the next life, out of pity for that king, may the holy assembly, out of pity for him, accept this offering of half a fruit.' At that time, the chief monk said to the assembly: 'Who, upon hearing these words, would not be disgusted with the world? Upon hearing this matter, we cannot but generate a sense of detachment, as the Buddha's scriptures say. Seeing the decline of others, one should generate a sense of detachment. If there are sentient beings with awareness, how can they not abandon the world upon hearing this matter?' And then he spoke a verse: 'The king of men is the most honored in the world, Ashoka is of the Peacock lineage, free in Jambudvipa, with the amalaka fruit as the main thing, the crown prince and all the ministers, together seized the king's offering, sending half an amalaka fruit, in order to subdue those arrogant wealthy people, to make them generate a sense of detachment, foolish people do not recognize offerings, the karmic result will be to enjoy wonderful happiness, therefore sending half an amalaka fruit.' At that time, the chief monk thought: 'How can this half amalaka fruit be distributed so that all the monks can partake of it?' He then instructed them to grind it, put it in pomegranate soup, and after distributing it, all the monks received it throughout. At that time, the king again asked the minister beside him: 'Who is the king of Jambudvipa?' The minister replied to the king: 'It is Your Majesty.'


。」

時,王從臥起而坐,顧望四方,合掌作禮,念諸佛德,心念口言:「我今復以此閻浮提施與三寶,隨意用之。」而說偈曰:

「今此閻浮提,  多有珍寶飾,  施與良福田,  果報自然得,  以此施功德,  不求天帝釋,  梵王及人主,  世界諸妙樂,  如是等果報,  我悉不用受,  以是施功德,  疾得成佛道,  為世所尊仰,  成得一切智,  世間作善友,  導師最第一。」

時,王以此語盡書紙上,而封緘之,以齒印印之。作如是事畢,便即就盡。

爾時,太子及諸臣、宮人、婇女、國界人民,興種種供養葬送,如王之法而阇維之。

爾時,諸臣欲立太子紹王位,中有一大臣,名曰阿㝹羅陀,語諸臣曰:「不得立太子為王。所以者何?大王阿育在時,本誓願滿十萬億金作諸功德,唯減四億,不滿十萬,以是故,今舍閻浮提施與三寶,欲令滿足。今是大地屬於三寶,云何而立為王?」

時,諸臣聞已,即送四億諸金,送與寺中,即便立法益之子為王,名三波提。次復太子,名毗梨訶波低,為紹王位,毗梨訶波低太子,名曰毗梨訶西那,次紹王位。毗梨訶西那太子,名曰沸沙須摩,次紹王位。沸沙須摩太子,名曰沸沙蜜多羅,次紹王位

現代漢語譯本 當時,國王從床上起身坐起,環顧四周,合掌行禮,心中默唸諸佛的功德,口中說道:『我今天再次將這閻浮提佈施給三寶,任憑他們使用。』並說偈語道: 『如今這閻浮提,多有珍寶裝飾,佈施給良田福地,果報自然獲得,以此佈施的功德,不求天帝釋,梵王以及人主,世間各種美妙的快樂,像這樣的果報,我都不願接受,以這佈施的功德,迅速成就佛道,為世人所尊敬仰慕,成就一切智慧,在世間做善良的朋友,是最第一的導師。』 當時,國王將這些話全部寫在紙上,然後封好,用牙齒印上印記。做完這些事後,便去世了。 那時,太子以及各位大臣、宮人、宮女、國內百姓,舉行各種供養儀式進行葬禮,按照國王的禮法進行火化。 當時,各位大臣想要立太子繼承王位,其中有一位大臣,名叫阿㝹羅陀,對各位大臣說:『不能立太子為王。為什麼呢?大王阿育在世時,本發誓愿要用十萬億金做各種功德,只差四億,沒有滿十萬億,因此,現在捨棄閻浮提佈施給三寶,想要使其圓滿。現在這片大地屬於三寶,怎麼能立太子為王呢?』 當時,各位大臣聽后,立即送上四億金,送到寺廟中,然後就立了法益的兒子為王,名叫三波提。接著是太子,名叫毗梨訶波低,繼承王位,毗梨訶波低太子,名叫毗梨訶西那,接著繼承王位。毗梨訶西那太子,名叫沸沙須摩,接著繼承王位。沸沙須摩太子,名叫沸沙蜜多羅,接著繼承王位。

English version At that time, the king rose from his bed and sat up, looked around, put his palms together in a gesture of respect, and recited the virtues of all Buddhas in his mind, saying aloud, 'I now again bestow this Jambudvipa to the Three Jewels, for them to use as they please.' And he spoke in verse: 'Now this Jambudvipa, is adorned with many treasures, giving to the field of good fortune, the karmic reward will naturally be obtained, with this merit of giving, I do not seek the heavenly king Indra, Brahma, or human rulers, all the wonderful pleasures of the world, such karmic rewards, I do not wish to receive, with this merit of giving, I will quickly achieve Buddhahood, to be revered and admired by the world, to achieve all wisdom, to be a good friend in the world, the foremost guide.' At that time, the king wrote all these words on paper, then sealed it, and stamped it with his tooth mark. After completing these matters, he then passed away. At that time, the crown prince, along with the ministers, palace attendants, concubines, and the people of the kingdom, held various offerings and funeral rites, cremating him according to the royal customs. At that time, the ministers wanted to enthrone the crown prince, but one of the ministers, named Anuradha, said to the other ministers, 'The crown prince cannot be made king. Why? When King Ashoka was alive, he vowed to perform meritorious deeds with ten trillion gold, but he was four hundred million short of the ten trillion, therefore, he now gives Jambudvipa to the Three Jewels, wishing to fulfill his vow. Now this land belongs to the Three Jewels, how can we enthrone the crown prince as king?' At that time, the ministers, upon hearing this, immediately sent four hundred million gold to the temple, and then they enthroned the son of Dharma-benefit as king, named Samprati. Next was the crown prince, named Virihapati, who succeeded to the throne, Virihapati's crown prince, named Virihasena, then succeeded to the throne. Virihasena's crown prince, named Pushyasuma, then succeeded to the throne. Pushyasuma's crown prince, named Pushyamitra, then succeeded to the throne.


時,沸沙蜜多羅問諸臣曰:「我當作何等事,令我名德久存於世?」

時,賢善諸臣信樂三寶者,啟王言:「阿育大王是王之前種姓,彼王在世,造立八萬四千如來塔,復興種種供養,此之名德,相傳至今。王欲求此名者,當造立八萬四千塔,及諸供養。」

王言:「大王阿育有大威德,能辦此事,我不能作,更思餘事。」

中有惡臣,不信曏者,啟王言:「世間二種法傳世不滅,一者作善,二者作惡。大王阿育作諸善行,王今當行惡行,打壞八萬四千塔。」

時,王用佞臣語,即興四兵眾,往詣寺舍,壞諸塔寺。王先往雞雀寺中,寺門前有石師子,即作師子吼。王聞之即大驚怖,非生獸之類,而能吼鳴,還入城中。如是再三,欲壞彼寺。

時,王呼諸比丘來,問諸比丘:「使我壞塔為善?壞僧房為善?」

比丘答曰:「二不應行。王其欲壞者,寧壞僧房,勿壞佛塔。」

時,王殺害比丘,及壞塔寺。如是漸漸至婆伽羅國,又復唱令:「若有人能得沙門釋子頭來者,賞之千金。」

爾時,彼國中有一阿羅漢,化作眾多比丘頭,與諸百姓,令送至於王所,令王庫藏財寶竭盡。時,彼王聞阿羅漢作如是事,倍復瞋恚,欲殺彼阿羅漢

現代漢語譯本 當時,沸沙蜜多羅問他的大臣們說:『我應該做些什麼事,才能使我的名聲和美德長久地流傳於世呢?』 當時,那些信仰和喜愛三寶的賢良大臣們向國王進言說:『阿育大王是您之前的先祖,他在世時,建造了八萬四千座如來佛塔,並興辦了各種供養活動,他的名聲和美德,一直流傳至今。大王如果想求得這樣的名聲,就應當建造八萬四千座佛塔,以及各種供養。』 國王說:『阿育大王有很大的威德,能夠辦成這件事,我做不到,還是考慮其他的事情吧。』 其中有一個不信佛法的奸臣,向國王進言說:『世間有兩種法可以流傳不滅,一種是行善,另一種是作惡。阿育大王做了許多善行,大王您現在應當做惡行,打壞八萬四千座佛塔。』 當時,國王聽信了奸臣的話,立即率領軍隊,前往寺廟,破壞佛塔和寺院。國王先來到雞雀寺,寺門前有一尊石獅子,石獅子突然發出獅子吼聲。國王聽到后非常驚恐,因為這不是活的野獸,卻能發出吼叫,於是就返回城中。像這樣反覆幾次,他都想破壞那座寺廟。 當時,國王召集眾比丘前來,問他們說:『讓我破壞佛塔好呢?還是破壞僧房好呢?』 比丘們回答說:『這兩件事都不應該做。大王如果一定要破壞,寧可破壞僧房,也不要破壞佛塔。』 當時,國王殺害了比丘,並破壞了佛塔和寺院。像這樣漸漸地到了婆伽羅國,他又下令說:『如果有人能拿來沙門釋子的頭,就賞賜他千金。』 那時,那個國家裡有一位阿羅漢,他化現出許多比丘的頭,交給百姓,讓他們送到國王那裡,使得國王的庫藏財寶都耗盡了。當時,國王聽到阿羅漢做了這樣的事,更加憤怒,想要殺害那位阿羅漢。

English version At that time, King Pushyamitra asked his ministers, 'What should I do to make my name and virtue last in the world?' At that time, the virtuous ministers who believed in and loved the Three Jewels advised the king, 'King Ashoka was your ancestor. When he was alive, he built eighty-four thousand stupas of the Tathagata and promoted various offerings. His name and virtue have been passed down to this day. If Your Majesty wishes to seek such a name, you should build eighty-four thousand stupas and make various offerings.' The king said, 'King Ashoka had great power and virtue and could accomplish this, but I cannot. Let's consider other matters.' Among them, there was a wicked minister who did not believe in Buddhism. He advised the king, 'There are two kinds of laws that can be passed down in the world, one is doing good, and the other is doing evil. King Ashoka did many good deeds. Your Majesty should now do evil deeds and destroy eighty-four thousand stupas.' At that time, the king listened to the wicked minister's words and immediately led his troops to the temples to destroy the stupas and monasteries. The king first went to the Chicken Sparrow Temple. There was a stone lion in front of the temple gate, and the stone lion suddenly roared like a lion. The king was very frightened when he heard it, because it was not a living beast, yet it could roar. So he returned to the city. He tried to destroy the temple several times like this. At that time, the king summoned the monks and asked them, 'Is it better for me to destroy the stupas or the monasteries?' The monks replied, 'Neither of these should be done. If Your Majesty must destroy something, it is better to destroy the monasteries than the stupas.' At that time, the king killed the monks and destroyed the stupas and monasteries. Gradually, he reached the country of Vakkala, and he issued another order, 'If anyone can bring the head of a Shramana Shakya, I will reward him with a thousand gold coins.' At that time, there was an Arhat in that country who transformed into many monks' heads and gave them to the people to send to the king, causing the king's treasury to be depleted. At that time, the king heard that the Arhat had done such a thing, and he became even more angry and wanted to kill the Arhat.


時,彼羅漢入滅盡正受,王作無量方便,殺彼聖人,終不能得。入滅盡三昧力故,不傷其體。如是漸進至佛塔門邊。

彼所塔中,有一鬼神,止住其中,守護佛塔,名曰牙齒。彼鬼神作是念:「我是佛弟子,受持禁戒,不殺害眾生,我今不能殺害於王。」又復作念:「有一神名曰為蟲,行諸惡行,兇暴勇健,求索我女,我不與之;今者為護正法故,當嫁與彼,令其守護佛法。」即呼彼神語言:「我今嫁女與汝,然共立約誓,汝要當降伏此王,勿使興諸惡行,壞滅正法。」

時,王所有一大鬼神,名曰烏茶,威德具足,故彼神不奈王何。時,牙齒神作方便,今日王威勢自然由此鬼神,我今誘誑共作親厚。如是與彼神作知識,極作知識已,即將此神至於南方大海中。

時彼蟲神排擋大山,推迮王上,及四兵眾,無不死盡。眾人唱言:「快哉!快哉!」是世人相傳,名為快哉。彼王終亡,孔雀苗裔於此永終,是故世間富樂不足為貪。阿育大王有智之人,覺世無常,身命難保,五家財物亦如幻化。覺了彼法,勤行精進,作諸功德,乃至臨終,繫心三寶,唸唸不絕,無所吝惜,唯愿盡成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位羅漢進入滅盡定,國王用盡各種方法,想殺死這位聖人,最終都不能成功。因為他進入滅盡三昧的緣故,身體不會受到傷害。就這樣,他逐漸走到了佛塔的門邊。 那座塔中,有一個鬼神,住在裡面,守護著佛塔,名叫牙齒。那個鬼神這樣想:『我是佛的弟子,受持戒律,不殺害眾生,我今天不能殺害國王。』他又想:『有一個神名叫蟲,他做各種惡行,兇暴勇猛,想要我的女兒,我沒有給他;現在爲了守護正法,應當把女兒嫁給他,讓他來守護佛法。』於是他呼喚那個神說:『我現在把女兒嫁給你,但是要共同立下誓約,你一定要降伏這個國王,不要讓他興起各種惡行,破壞正法。』 當時,國王有一個大鬼神,名叫烏茶,威德具足,所以那個神不能對國王怎麼樣。當時,牙齒神想了個辦法,現在國王的威勢自然是由於這個鬼神,我今天誘騙他,和他搞好關係。就這樣,他和那個神成了朋友,關係非常密切之後,就把這個神帶到了南方的大海中。 當時,那個蟲神推倒大山,壓向國王和他的四方軍隊,沒有一個不死的。眾人高呼:『痛快!痛快!』這是世人相傳的,叫做痛快。那個國王最終滅亡,孔雀的後代也在這裡終結,所以世間的富貴快樂不值得貪戀。阿育大王是有智慧的人,覺悟到世事無常,生命難以保全,五家的財物也如同幻化。覺悟了這些道理,勤奮精進,行各種功德,乃至臨終,心繫三寶,唸唸不絕,沒有絲毫吝惜,只希望最終成就無上正等正覺。

English version At that time, the Arhat entered the Samadhi of Cessation, and the king tried countless ways to kill the saint, but ultimately failed. Because he had entered the Samadhi of Cessation, his body could not be harmed. In this way, he gradually reached the gate of the pagoda. In that pagoda, there was a ghost spirit dwelling within, guarding the pagoda, named 'Tooth'. That ghost spirit thought, 'I am a disciple of the Buddha, upholding the precepts, not harming living beings, I cannot kill the king today.' He also thought, 'There is a spirit named 'Worm', who commits all kinds of evil deeds, is fierce and brave, and seeks my daughter, which I have not given him; now, for the sake of protecting the Dharma, I should marry my daughter to him, and let him protect the Dharma.' So he called out to that spirit and said, 'I will now marry my daughter to you, but we must make a vow together, you must subdue this king, and not let him engage in evil deeds and destroy the Dharma.' At that time, the king had a great ghost spirit named 'Ucha', who was full of power and virtue, so that spirit could not do anything to the king. At that time, the Tooth spirit devised a plan, that the king's power now naturally comes from this ghost spirit, I will now deceive him and become close to him. In this way, he became friends with that spirit, and after becoming very close, he took this spirit to the southern ocean. At that time, the Worm spirit pushed down a great mountain, pressing down on the king and his four armies, and none survived. The people shouted, 'How delightful! How delightful!' This is what the world has passed down, called 'How delightful'. That king finally perished, and the descendants of the Peacock lineage ended here, so the wealth and happiness of the world are not worth coveting. King Ashoka was a wise man, who realized that the world is impermanent, life is difficult to preserve, and the wealth of the five families is like an illusion. Having realized these principles, he diligently practiced, performed various merits, and even at the time of his death, his mind was focused on the Three Jewels, with continuous thoughts, without any stinginess, only hoping to ultimately achieve Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.

(642)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī.

At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'There are three roots—the root of not yet knowing that which should be known, the root of knowing, and the root of not knowing.' Then, the World-Honored One spoke in verse:

'When one is aware of being on the path of learning, One advances along the straight path, With diligence and skillful means, One guards one's own mind well, As one knows that birth is exhausted, The unobstructed path is already known, Having been liberated through knowledge, Finally, one attains not knowing, The unmoving liberation of mind, All conditioned things can be extinguished, All faculties are complete, One delights in the tranquility of the faculties, Holding the last body, Subduing all the enemies of Mara.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(643)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī.

At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'There are five roots. What are the five? They are the root of faith, the root of diligence, the root of mindfulness, the root of concentration, and the root of wisdom.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

現代漢語譯本:如果比丘能如實地善於觀察這五根,這樣如實善於觀察的人,就能斷除三種結縛,即身見、戒禁取見和懷疑。這樣的人被稱為須陀洹,不會墮入惡道,必定走向覺悟,經歷七次天人往生后,最終達到苦的盡頭。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六四五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果能如實地觀察這五根,就不會產生煩惱,心就能從慾望中解脫出來,這就是阿羅漢,煩惱已經斷盡,該做的已經做完,脫離了所有重擔,獲得了自身的利益,斷盡了所有束縛,以正智之心獲得徹底的解脫。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六四六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五根。哪五根呢?即信根、精進根、念根、定根、慧根。信根,應當知道是四不壞凈;精進根,應當知道是四正斷;念根,應當知道是四念處;定根,應當知道是四禪;慧根,應當知道是四聖諦。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六四七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五根。哪五根呢?即信根、精進根、念根、定根、慧根。』

English version: If a bhikkhu truly and wisely observes these five faculties, one who truly and wisely observes will know the severing of three fetters, namely self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, and doubt. Such a person is called a stream-enterer, not subject to falling into evil realms, certainly headed towards enlightenment, after seven rebirths among gods and humans, ultimately reaching the end of suffering. After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (645) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'One who truly observes these five faculties will not give rise to defilements, and the mind will be liberated from desire. Such a person is called an Arhat, whose defilements are exhausted, what needed to be done is done, having laid down all burdens, having attained one's own benefit, having exhausted all fetters, with right knowledge, the mind is well liberated.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (646) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'There are five faculties. What are the five? They are the faculty of faith, the faculty of effort, the faculty of mindfulness, the faculty of concentration, and the faculty of wisdom. The faculty of faith, one should know, is the fourfold confidence; the faculty of effort, one should know, is the four right exertions; the faculty of mindfulness, one should know, is the four foundations of mindfulness; the faculty of concentration, one should know, is the four jhanas; the faculty of wisdom, one should know, is the four noble truths.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (647) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'There are five faculties. What are the five? They are the faculty of faith, the faculty of effort, the faculty of mindfulness, the faculty of concentration, and the faculty of wisdom.'


「何等為信根?若比丘于如來所起凈信心,根本堅固,余沙門、婆羅門、諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門,及余世間,無能沮壞其心者,是名信根。

「何等為精進根?已生惡不善法令斷,生欲、方便、攝心、增進;未生惡不善法不起,生欲、方便、攝心、增進;未生善法令起,生欲、方便、攝心、增進;已生善法住不忘,修習增廣,生欲、方便、攝心、增進,是名精進根。

「何等爲念根?若比丘內身身觀住,慇勤方便,正念正智,調伏世間貪憂;外身、內外身,受、心、法法觀念住亦如是說,是名念根。

「何等為定根?若比丘離欲惡不善法,有覺有觀,離生喜樂,乃至第四禪具足住,是名定根。

「何等為慧根?若比丘苦聖諦如實知,苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦如實知,是名慧根。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六四八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「若比丘於此五根如實觀察已,於三結斷知。何等為三?謂身見、戒取、疑。是名須陀洹,不墮惡趣,決定正向三菩提,七有天人往生,究竟苦邊。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本 『什麼是信根?如果比丘對如來生起清凈的信心,根基穩固,沒有其他沙門、婆羅門、諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門以及世間眾生能夠動搖他的心,這就叫做信根。 『什麼是精進根?對於已經產生的惡不善法,要令其斷除,生起意願、方便、攝心、增進;對於尚未產生的惡不善法,要令其不生起,生起意願、方便、攝心、增進;對於尚未產生的善法,要令其生起,生起意願、方便、攝心、增進;對於已經產生的善法,要令其安住不忘,修習增廣,生起意願、方便、攝心、增進,這就叫做精進根。 『什麼是念根?如果比丘在內身觀察身體的實相,勤勉方便,正念正知,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁;在外身、內外身,以及受、心、法等方面的觀察也是如此,這就叫做念根。 『什麼是定根?如果比丘遠離慾望和惡不善法,有覺有觀,從離欲中生起喜樂,乃至具足安住于第四禪,這就叫做定根。 『什麼是慧根?如果比丘如實地知道苦聖諦,如實地知道苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦,這就叫做慧根。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (六四八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘……內容如上所說。不同之處在於:『如果比丘如實地觀察這五根,就能斷除三種結。哪三種呢?就是身見、戒取、疑。這就叫做須陀洹,不會墮入惡道,必定走向三菩提,在七次天人往生后,最終達到苦的盡頭。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

English version 'What is the root of faith? If a bhikkhu develops pure faith in the Tathagata, with a firm foundation, and no other samana, brahmana, deva, mara, brahma, samana, brahmana, or anyone in the world can shake his mind, this is called the root of faith.' 'What is the root of diligence? For evil and unwholesome states that have arisen, one generates desire, effort, mindfulness, and advancement to abandon them; for evil and unwholesome states that have not arisen, one generates desire, effort, mindfulness, and advancement to prevent them from arising; for wholesome states that have not arisen, one generates desire, effort, mindfulness, and advancement to bring them about; for wholesome states that have arisen, one generates desire, effort, mindfulness, and advancement to maintain them, cultivate them, and expand them. This is called the root of diligence.' 'What is the root of mindfulness? If a bhikkhu dwells contemplating the body internally, diligently, with mindfulness and clear comprehension, subduing the greed and distress in the world; and similarly contemplates the body externally, internally and externally, as well as feelings, mind, and mental objects, this is called the root of mindfulness.' 'What is the root of concentration? If a bhikkhu, having abandoned sensual desires and unwholesome states, enters and dwells in the first jhana, which is accompanied by initial and sustained thought, born of seclusion, and filled with joy and pleasure, and continues up to the fourth jhana, this is called the root of concentration.' 'What is the root of wisdom? If a bhikkhu truly understands the noble truth of suffering, truly understands the noble truth of the origin of suffering, truly understands the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and truly understands the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, this is called the root of wisdom.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings. (648) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus... as described above. The difference is: 'If a bhikkhu, having truly observed these five roots, understands the breaking of the three fetters. What are the three? They are self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, and doubt. This is called a stream-enterer, who will not fall into the lower realms, is assured of enlightenment, and after seven rebirths among gods and humans, will reach the end of suffering.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings.

For those who are weak or inferior in their faculties, they are able to attain the practice of the Dharma. For those who are weak or inferior in their faculties, they are able to attain the practice of faith. This is called a bhikkhu understanding the fruition of the perfections through the cause of the perfections of the faculties, and understanding the perfections of people through the cause of the perfections of the fruition. Thus, those who are complete do complete things, and those who are diminished do diminished things. These faculties of theirs will not be empty and without result. If these faculties are lacking, I say that they are counted among the ordinary people. Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. (654) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'There are five faculties. What are the five? They are the faculty of faith, the faculty of effort, the faculty of mindfulness, the faculty of concentration, and the faculty of wisdom. All these five faculties are encompassed by the faculty of wisdom. Just as among the many timbers of a hall, the beam is the chief, and all depend on the beam, because it holds them together. Likewise, among these five faculties, wisdom is the chief, because it holds them together.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. (655) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'There are five faculties. What are the five? They are the faculty of faith, the faculty of effort, the faculty of mindfulness, the faculty of concentration, and the faculty of wisdom. The faculty of faith, it should be known, is the fourfold unwavering confidence; the faculty of effort, it should be known, is the four right exertions; the faculty of mindfulness, it should be known, is the four foundations of mindfulness; the faculty of concentration, it should be known, is the four jhanas; the faculty of wisdom, it should be known, is the four noble truths. All these virtues, all have wisdom as their chief, because it holds them together.'

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有五根。何等為五?信根、精進根、念根、定根、慧根。若聖弟子成就信根者,作如是學。聖弟子無始生死,無明所著,愛所繫,眾生長夜生死,往來流馳,不知本際,有因故有生死,因永盡者,則無生死,無明大闇聚障礙,誰般涅槃?唯苦滅、苦息、清涼、沒。如信根,如是精進根、念根、定根、慧根亦如是說。此五根,慧為首,慧所攝持。譬如堂閣,棟為首,棟所攝持。」

現代漢語譯本:乃至……。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六五六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五根。哪五根呢?信根、精進根、念根、定根、慧根。如果聖弟子成就了慧根,就能修習信根,依于離欲、依于無慾、依于滅盡、趨向于舍離,這稱為信根成就。信根成就,也就是慧根。』如同信根一樣,精進根、念根、定根、慧根也應如此解說。因此,在這五根中,慧根是首要的,因為它能攝持其他根。譬如堂閣,棟樑是首要的,眾多的木材都依附於它,因為它能攝持。同樣的,五根之中,慧根是首要的,因為它能攝持。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六五七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五根。哪五根呢?信根、精進根、念根、定根、慧根。如果聖弟子成就了信根,就應如此學習。聖弟子無始以來的生死,被無明所矇蔽,被愛慾所束縛,眾生在漫長的生死中,往來流轉,不知根本的邊際。因為有因,所以有生死;如果因永遠斷盡,就沒有生死。無明就像巨大的黑暗聚集,障礙著涅槃,誰能般涅槃呢?唯有苦滅、苦息、清涼、寂滅。』如同信根一樣,精進根、念根、定根、慧根也應如此解說。這五根中,慧根是首要的,被慧根所攝持。譬如堂閣,棟樑是首要的,被棟樑所攝持。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version: ...and so on. Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted with the Blessed One's words, and they practiced accordingly. (656) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'There are five faculties. What five? The faculty of faith, the faculty of energy, the faculty of mindfulness, the faculty of concentration, and the faculty of wisdom. If a noble disciple has attained the faculty of wisdom, he can cultivate the faculty of faith, relying on detachment, relying on dispassion, relying on cessation, and inclining towards relinquishment. This is called the attainment of the faculty of faith. The attainment of the faculty of faith is the faculty of wisdom. Just as with the faculty of faith, so it is with the faculty of energy, the faculty of mindfulness, the faculty of concentration, and the faculty of wisdom. Therefore, among these five faculties, the faculty of wisdom is the foremost, because it holds them together. Just as in a hall, the beam is the foremost, and the various materials depend on it, because it holds them together. Likewise, among the five faculties, wisdom is the foremost, because it holds them together.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted with the Blessed One's words, and they practiced accordingly.

If a noble disciple has attained the faculty of faith, he should learn thus: 'Noble disciples, in beginningless samsara, are obscured by ignorance and bound by craving. Beings wander in the long night of samsara, going to and fro, not knowing the origin. Because there is a cause, there is samsara. If the cause is completely extinguished, there is no samsara. Ignorance is like a great mass of darkness, obstructing Nirvana. Who can attain Nirvana? Only the cessation of suffering, the calming of suffering, coolness, and extinction.' Just as with the faculty of faith, so it is with the faculty of energy, the faculty of mindfulness, the faculty of concentration, and the faculty of wisdom. Among these five faculties, wisdom is the foremost, and it holds them together. Just as in a hall, the beam is the foremost, and it is held together by the beam.'

English version: (658) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'There are five roots—the root of faith, the root of vigor, the root of mindfulness, the root of concentration, and the root of wisdom. What is the root of faith? It refers to the holy disciple's faith in the Tathagata, which is fundamentally firm and cannot be destroyed by any gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, or any worldly laws. This is called the root of faith. What is the root of vigor? It refers to the four right exertions. What is the root of mindfulness? It refers to the four foundations of mindfulness. What is the root of concentration? It refers to the four dhyanas. What is the root of wisdom? It refers to the four noble truths. All these merits are headed by wisdom. Just like a hall, the ridgepole is its head.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

What are the five? They are the root of faith, the root of vigor, the root of mindfulness, the root of concentration, and the root of wisdom. What is the root of faith? It refers to the pure faith obtained by a holy disciple when they generate the Bodhi mind towards the Tathagata. This is called the root of faith. What is the root of vigor? It refers to the skillful means of vigor that arise when one generates the Bodhi mind towards the Tathagata. This is called the root of vigor. What is the root of mindfulness? It refers to the root of mindfulness that arises when one first generates the Bodhi mind towards the Tathagata. What is the root of concentration? It refers to the samadhi that arises when one first generates the Bodhi mind towards the Tathagata. This is called the root of concentration. What is the root of wisdom? It refers to the wisdom that arises when one first generates the Bodhi mind towards the Tathagata. This is called the root of wisdom. The rest of the hall is as described above.'

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「聖弟子學數力成就已,貪、恚、癡若節若盡

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五種根。哪五種呢?即信根、精進根、念根、定根、慧根。對於這五種根,如果修習並多次修習,過去、未來、現在的一切苦都能斷除。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 如同斷除苦一樣,最終達到苦的邊際、苦的止息、苦的消滅、苦的滅盡,度脫苦的流轉,從束縛中解脫,破除各種色,過去、未來、現在的一切煩惱都滅盡,也應這樣說。 (六六一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有兩種力量。哪兩種呢?即數力和修力。什麼是數力呢?即聖弟子在空閑的林中樹下,這樣思惟:『身惡行,在今生和來世都會遭受惡報。如果我行身惡行,我將自己後悔,別人也會責備我,大師也會責備我,大德梵行者也會責備我,會依法責備我,惡名會流傳,身壞命終后,會墮入惡趣地獄中。』這樣,今生和來世的惡報,身惡行就會斷除,修習身善行。如同身惡行一樣,口、意惡行也應這樣說,這叫做數力。什麼是修力呢?如果比丘學習數力,聖弟子數力成就后,就會隨之獲得修力,獲得修力后,修力就會圓滿。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六六二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上面所說。不同之處在於:『聖弟子學習數力成就后,貪、嗔、癡就會被節制或斷盡。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'There are five roots. What are the five? They are the root of faith, the root of diligence, the root of mindfulness, the root of concentration, and the root of wisdom. By cultivating and repeatedly practicing these five roots, all suffering in the past, future, and present can be eliminated.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just as suffering is eliminated, so too is the ultimate end of suffering, the cessation of suffering, the extinction of suffering, the complete overcoming of suffering, liberation from bondage, the destruction of all forms, and the complete elimination of all defilements in the past, future, and present. This should also be said. (661) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'There are two kinds of power. What are the two? They are the power of reflection and the power of cultivation. What is the power of reflection? It is when a noble disciple, in a secluded forest or under a tree, reflects thus: 「Evil bodily actions bring evil consequences in this life and the next. If I engage in evil bodily actions, I will regret it myself, others will blame me, the master will blame me, the noble brahmacharis will blame me, I will be reproached according to the Dharma, my evil reputation will spread, and after the dissolution of the body, I will be reborn in the evil realm of hell.」 Thus, by reflecting on the present and future consequences, evil bodily actions are abandoned, and good bodily actions are cultivated. Just as with evil bodily actions, so too with evil verbal and mental actions. This is called the power of reflection. What is the power of cultivation? If a bhikkhu learns the power of reflection, and the noble disciple has achieved the power of reflection, then the power of cultivation will follow, and having obtained the power of cultivation, the power of cultivation will be fulfilled.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (662) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus... as said above. The difference is: 'When a noble disciple has achieved the power of reflection, greed, hatred, and delusion will be either restrained or completely eliminated.'

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如精進力,念力、定力,亦如是說

(663) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks... as said above. The difference is: 'What is the power of cultivation? It refers to the practice of the four foundations of mindfulness.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just like the four foundations of mindfulness, the practice of the four right exertions, the four bases of spiritual power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven factors of enlightenment, the eightfold noble path, the four paths, the four dharma phrases, and cessation and contemplation should also be spoken of in this way. (664) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There are three powers.

You should learn like this: 'I should achieve the power of faith, the power of diligence, and the power of wisdom.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just like the power of diligence, the power of mindfulness and the power of concentration should also be spoken of in this way.


(六六六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有三力——信力、念力、慧力。何等為信力?謂聖弟子于如來所入于凈信,根本堅固,諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門及諸同法所不能壞,是名信力。何等為精進力?謂修四正斷。何等為慧力?謂四聖諦。」

此諸經如上三力說。差別者:「何等為覺力?于善、不善法如實知,有罪、無罪,習近、不習近,卑法、勝法,黑法、白法,有分別法、無分別法,緣起法、非緣起法如實知,是名覺力。何等為精進力?謂四正斷……」如前廣說。「何等為無罪力?謂無罪身、口、意,是名無罪力。何等為攝力?謂四攝事,惠施、愛語、行利、同利。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本 (六六六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有三種力量——信力、念力、慧力。什麼是信力?是指聖弟子對於如來生起清凈的信心,根基穩固,任何天神、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門以及其他同修都不能破壞,這稱為信力。什麼是精進力?是指修習四正斷。什麼是慧力?是指了解四聖諦。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 其餘兩種力量如上面所說。 (六六七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種力量。哪四種呢?是信力、精進力、念力、慧力。還有四種力量——信力、念力、定力、慧力。還有四種力量——覺力、精進力、無罪力、攝力。』 這些經文如同上面關於三種力量的說法。不同之處在於:『什麼是覺力?是指對於善法、不善法如實地瞭解,對於有罪、無罪,應該親近、不應該親近,低劣的法、殊勝的法,黑法、白法,有分別的法、無分別的法,緣起法、非緣起法如實地瞭解,這稱為覺力。什麼是精進力?是指修習四正斷……』如同前面詳細所說。『什麼是無罪力?是指身、口、意都沒有罪過,這稱為無罪力。什麼是攝力?是指四攝事,佈施、愛語、利行、同事。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

English version (666) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. The other two powers are as described above. (667) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'There are four powers. What are the four? They are the power of faith, the power of diligence, the power of mindfulness, and the power of wisdom. Furthermore, there are four powers—the power of faith, the power of mindfulness, the power of concentration, and the power of wisdom. Furthermore, there are four powers—the power of awareness, the power of diligence, the power of blamelessness, and the power of attraction.' These sutras are similar to the above description of the three powers. The difference is: 'What is the power of awareness? It refers to truly knowing good and bad dharmas, what is blameworthy and blameless, what should be approached and not approached, inferior and superior dharmas, dark and bright dharmas, dharmas with distinctions and without distinctions, dependent origination and non-dependent origination. This is called the power of awareness. What is the power of diligence? It refers to practicing the four right exertions...' as described in detail before. 'What is the power of blamelessness? It refers to having a blameless body, speech, and mind. This is called the power of blamelessness. What is the power of attraction? It refers to the four means of attraction: giving, kind speech, beneficial action, and consistency.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「若最勝施者,謂法施。最勝愛語者,謂善男子樂聞,應時說法。行利最勝者,諸不信者能令入信,建立於信;立戒者以凈戒,慳者以施,惡智者以正智令入建立。同利最勝者,謂阿羅漢以阿羅漢、阿那含以阿那含、斯陀含以斯陀含、須陀洹以須陀洹、凈戒者以凈而授于彼。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六六九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「若所有法,是眾之所取,一切皆是四攝事。或有一取施者,或一取愛語者,或一取行利者,或一取同利者。過去世時,過去世眾,以有所取者,亦是四攝事。未來世眾,當有所取者,亦是四攝事。或一取施者,或一取愛語,或一取行利者,或一取同利。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「佈施及愛語,  或有行利者,  同利諸行生,  各隨其所應。  以此攝世間,  猶車因釭運。  世無四攝事,  母恩子養忘,  亦無父等尊,  謙下之奉事

現代漢語譯本 (六六八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如前面所說。不同之處在於:『如果說最殊勝的佈施,那就是法佈施。最殊勝的愛語,就是指善男子樂意聽聞,應時說法。最殊勝的利他行為,就是能使不信的人產生信仰,並建立在信仰之上;持戒的人以清凈的戒律,慳吝的人以佈施,惡智的人以正智引導他們建立。最殊勝的共同利益,就是指阿羅漢以阿羅漢、阿那含以阿那含、斯陀含以斯陀含、須陀洹以須陀洹、持凈戒的人以清凈的戒律來教導他們。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六六九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如前面所說。不同之處在於:『如果說所有法,是大眾所接受的,一切都是四攝事。或者有人接受佈施,或者有人接受愛語,或者有人接受利他行為,或者有人接受共同利益。過去世時,過去世的大眾,有所接受的,也是四攝事。未來世的大眾,將有所接受的,也是四攝事。或者有人接受佈施,或者有人接受愛語,或者有人接受利他行為,或者有人接受共同利益。』 那時,世尊即說偈語: 『佈施以及愛語,或者有利他行為, 共同利益諸行生,各自隨其所應。 以此攝受世間,猶如車輪因軸運轉。 世間若無四攝事,母恩子養將被遺忘, 也將沒有父親等尊長,以及謙卑的奉事。'

English version (668) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks... as said above. The difference is: 'If the most excellent giving is mentioned, it is the giving of Dharma. The most excellent loving speech is when a good man is pleased to hear, and the Dharma is spoken at the right time. The most excellent beneficial conduct is to enable those who do not believe to enter into faith and establish themselves in faith; those who uphold precepts with pure precepts, the stingy with giving, and those of evil wisdom with right wisdom, leading them to establishment. The most excellent common benefit is when an Arhat teaches an Arhat, an Anagami teaches an Anagami, a Sakadagami teaches a Sakadagami, a Srotapanna teaches a Srotapanna, and those who uphold pure precepts teach others with pure precepts.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (669) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks... as said above. The difference is: 'If all dharmas are accepted by the multitude, all are the four means of gathering. Some accept giving, some accept loving speech, some accept beneficial conduct, and some accept common benefit. In the past, the multitudes of the past, whatever they accepted, were also the four means of gathering. The multitudes of the future, whatever they will accept, will also be the four means of gathering. Some accept giving, some accept loving speech, some accept beneficial conduct, and some accept common benefit.' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke this verse: 'Giving and loving speech, or those who practice beneficial conduct, Common benefit arises from all actions, each according to what is appropriate. With this, the world is gathered, just as a wheel turns because of its axle. If the world lacked the four means of gathering, the kindness of a mother and the nurturing of a child would be forgotten, And there would be no respect for fathers and other elders, nor humble service.'


。  以有四攝事,  隨順之法故,  是故有大士,  德被於世間。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

'Because there are four methods of embracing beings, which are in accordance with the laws of the world, therefore there are great beings whose virtues and graces pervade the world.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (670) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There are four powers. What are the four? They are the power of awakening, the power of diligence, the power of blamelessness, and the power of embracing...』 as mentioned above. 『If a monk achieves these four powers, he can be free from five fears. What are the five? They are the fear of not living, the fear of bad reputation, the fear of the assembly, the fear of death, and the fear of evil destinies.

(671) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks... as mentioned above.

If one's bodily actions are impure, one's verbal actions are impure, one's mental actions are impure, one engages in various evil desires, is without faith, lazy, not diligent, forgetful, unstable, of evil wisdom, stingy, and not embracing, then they should fear not living. I have four powers, which are the power of awakening, the power of diligence, the power of blamelessness, and the power of embracing. Because I have achieved these four powers, I should not fear the fear of not living. The fear of bad reputation, the fear of the assembly, the fear of death, and the fear of evil destinies are also as mentioned above.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (672) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有四力——覺力、精進力、無罪力、攝力。何等為覺力?謂慧、大慧、深慧、難勝慧,是名覺力。何等為精進力?若於不善法不善數、黑黑數、有罪有罪數、不應親近不應親近數,離此諸法已,若諸餘善善數、白白數、無罪無罪數、應親近應親近數,如此等修習,增上精勤、欲、方便、堪能,正念正知而學,是名精進力。無罪力、攝力如上修多羅說。」

English version: At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'There are four powers—the power of awakening, the power of diligence, the power of blamelessness, and the power of gathering. What is the power of awakening? It is wisdom, great wisdom, profound wisdom, and invincible wisdom; this is called the power of awakening. What is the power of diligence? If, regarding unwholesome dharmas, unwholesome thoughts, dark thoughts, sinful thoughts, thoughts that should not be approached, having abandoned these dharmas, one cultivates the remaining wholesome dharmas, wholesome thoughts, bright thoughts, blameless thoughts, thoughts that should be approached, thus cultivating, increasing diligence, desire, means, and ability, learning with right mindfulness and right knowledge, this is called the power of diligence. The power of blamelessness and the power of gathering are as described in the previous sutras.'

現代漢語譯本:什麼是五種(使人退步的)因素呢?就是說,你沒有以信心進入善法,如果依靠信心,就能遠離不善法,修習各種善法。你沒有精進、沒有慚愧、沒有羞恥、沒有智慧進入善法。如果依靠智慧,就能遠離各種不善法,修習各種善法。 如果比丘在正法中不改變、不退轉、長久安住,其他人應當用五種白法來慶賀你。什麼是五種呢?就是以正信進入善法,如果依靠信心,就能遠離不善法,修習各種善法;以精進、慚愧、羞恥、智慧進入善法,如果依靠智慧,就能遠離不善法,修習各種善法。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (六八二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘還俗、退戒,其他人應當用五種白法來呵責你。什麼是五種呢?就是比丘沒有以信心進入善法,如果依靠信心,就能遠離不善法,修習各種善法。沒有以精進、慚愧、羞恥、智慧進入善法;如果依靠智慧,就能遠離不善法,修習各種善法。如果比丘盡其一生,純潔圓滿,梵行清白,其他人應當用五種白法來慶賀你……』如上面所說。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (六八三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘不想讓惡不善法產生,唯一的方法就是信奉善法,如果信心退失,不信永存,各種不善法就會產生。

English version: What are the five? It is said that you do not enter into good dharmas with faith. If one relies on faith, one can abandon unwholesome dharmas and cultivate all good dharmas. You do not enter into good dharmas with diligence, shame, remorse, or wisdom. If one relies on wisdom, one can abandon all unwholesome dharmas and cultivate all good dharmas. If a bhikkhu does not change, does not regress, and dwells long in the true Dharma, others should congratulate you with five white dharmas. What are the five? It is to enter into good dharmas with right faith. If one relies on faith, one can abandon unwholesome dharmas and cultivate all good dharmas. To enter into good dharmas with diligence, shame, remorse, and wisdom. If one relies on wisdom, one can abandon unwholesome dharmas and cultivate all good dharmas. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (682) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu returns to lay life or regresses from the precepts, others should rebuke you with five white dharmas. What are the five? It is that the bhikkhu does not enter into good dharmas with faith. If one relies on faith, one can abandon unwholesome dharmas and cultivate all good dharmas. One does not enter into good dharmas with diligence, shame, remorse, or wisdom. If one relies on wisdom, one can abandon unwholesome dharmas and cultivate all good dharmas. If a bhikkhu lives his entire life, purely and completely, with pure conduct, others should congratulate you with five white dharmas...' as said above. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (683) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu does not wish for evil and unwholesome dharmas to arise, the only way is to have faith in good dharmas. If faith is lost, and disbelief remains, all unwholesome dharmas will arise.'


。乃至欲令惡不善法不生者,唯有精進、慚、愧、慧,若精進、慚、愧、慧力退滅,惡慧永住者,惡不善法則生。若比丘依于信者,則離不善法,修諸善法,依精進、慚、愧、慧者,則離不善法,修諸善法。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六八四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘於色生厭、離欲、滅盡、不起、解脫,是名阿羅訶三藐三佛陀。受、想、行、識亦如是說。若複比丘於色生厭、離欲、不起、解脫者,是名阿羅漢慧解脫。受、想、行、識亦如是說。諸比丘!如來應等正覺、阿羅漢慧解脫有何種種別異。」

諸比丘白佛:「世尊是法根、法眼、法依,唯愿為說,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。如來、應、等正覺者,先未聞法,能自覺知,現法自知,得三菩提,于未來世能說正法,覺諸聲聞,所謂四念處、四正斷、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺分、八聖道分,是名如來、應、等正覺。所未得法能得,未制梵行能制,能善知道、善說道,為眾將導,然後聲聞成就隨法隨道,樂奉大師教誡、教授,善於正法,是名如來應等正覺、阿羅漢慧解脫種種別異

現代漢語譯本:乃至想要使惡不善法不產生,只有精進、慚、愧、慧。如果精進、慚、愧、慧的力量衰退消失,惡慧長存,那麼惡不善法就會產生。如果比丘依靠信心,就能遠離不善法,修習各種善法;依靠精進、慚、愧、慧,就能遠離不善法,修習各種善法。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (六八四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘對色產生厭惡、離欲、滅盡、不起、解脫,這稱為阿羅訶三藐三佛陀。受、想、行、識也應如此說。如果比丘對色產生厭惡、離欲、不起、解脫,這稱為阿羅漢慧解脫。受、想、行、識也應如此說。諸位比丘!如來應等正覺和阿羅漢慧解脫有什麼種種差別呢?』 眾比丘對佛說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠,希望您能為我們解說,眾比丘聽了之後,一定會接受奉行。』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。如來、應、等正覺,在未曾聽聞佛法之前,能夠自己覺悟,當下自知,獲得三菩提,在未來世能夠宣說正法,覺悟諸聲聞,也就是四念處、四正斷、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺分、八聖道分,這稱為如來、應、等正覺。對於未曾得到的法能夠得到,未曾制定的梵行能夠制定,能夠善於知道、善於宣說,作為大眾的引導,然後聲聞成就隨法隨道,樂於奉行大師的教誡、教授,善於正法,這就是如來應等正覺和阿羅漢慧解脫的種種差別。』

English version: Furthermore, if one wishes to prevent the arising of evil and unwholesome states, one must rely on diligence, shame, remorse, and wisdom. If the power of diligence, shame, remorse, and wisdom diminishes and evil wisdom persists, then evil and unwholesome states will arise. If a bhikkhu relies on faith, he will abandon unwholesome states and cultivate wholesome states. By relying on diligence, shame, remorse, and wisdom, he will abandon unwholesome states and cultivate wholesome states. After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (684) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'If a bhikkhu experiences aversion, dispassion, cessation, non-arising, and liberation regarding form, this is called an Arahant Sammasambuddha. The same is said of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. If a bhikkhu experiences aversion, dispassion, non-arising, and liberation regarding form, this is called an Arahant liberated by wisdom. The same is said of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. Bhikkhus, what are the various differences between a Tathagata, a Fully Enlightened One, and an Arahant liberated by wisdom?' The bhikkhus said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, the Blessed One is the root of the Dhamma, the eye of the Dhamma, and the reliance of the Dhamma. May the Blessed One please explain this, and the bhikkhus, having heard it, will accept and practice accordingly.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'Listen carefully, reflect well, and I will explain it to you. A Tathagata, a Fully Enlightened One, before having heard the Dhamma, is able to awaken by himself, to know directly, to attain the three Bodhis, and in the future, to be able to teach the true Dhamma, awakening the disciples, namely the four foundations of mindfulness, the four right exertions, the four bases of power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven factors of enlightenment, and the eightfold noble path. This is called a Tathagata, a Fully Enlightened One. He is able to attain what has not been attained, to establish what has not been established, to know well, to teach well, to guide the multitude, and then the disciples achieve the path, delight in following the master's teachings and instructions, and are skilled in the true Dhamma. This is the various differences between a Tathagata, a Fully Enlightened One, and an Arahant liberated by wisdom.'

「如此十力,唯如來成就,是名如來與聲聞種種差別。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六八五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如嬰兒,父母生已,付其乳母,隨時摩拭,隨時沐浴,隨時乳哺,隨時訊息。若乳母不謹慎者,兒或以草、以土諸不凈物著其口中,乳母當即教令除去。能時除卻者善,兒不能自卻者,乳母當以左手持其頭,右手探其哽,嬰兒當時雖苦,乳母要當苦探其哽,為欲令其子長夜安樂故。」

佛告諸比丘:「若嬰兒長大,有所識別,復持草、土諸不凈物著口中不?」

比丘白佛:「不也,世尊!嬰兒長大,有所別知,尚不以腳觸諸不凈物,況著口中。」

佛告比丘:「嬰兒小時,乳母隨時料理訊息,及其長大,智慧成就,乳母放舍,不勤訊息,以其長大不自放逸故。如是,比丘!若諸聲聞始學,智慧未足,如來以法隨時教授而訊息之;若久學智慧深固,如來放舍,不復隨時慇勤教授,以其智慧成就不放逸故。是故,聲聞五種學力,如來成就十種智力……」如上廣說

現代漢語譯本:如果這種力量成就,如來、應供、正等覺就能像過去的佛陀一樣,擁有最殊勝的智慧,能夠轉動法輪,在大眾之中發出獅子般的吼聲。 現代漢語譯本:『這十種力量,只有如來才能成就,這就是如來與聲聞種種不同的地方。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 現代漢語譯本:(六八五) 現代漢語譯本:我是這樣聽說的: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 現代漢語譯本:那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如嬰兒,父母生下他后,就交給乳母照看,隨時給他擦拭身體,隨時給他洗澡,隨時餵他吃奶,隨時照顧他。如果乳母不謹慎,嬰兒可能會把草、土等不乾淨的東西放到嘴裡,乳母應當立即教他吐出來。如果能及時吐出來就好,如果嬰兒自己不能吐出來,乳母就應當用左手按住他的頭,用右手去掏他的喉嚨,嬰兒當時雖然痛苦,乳母也要用力去掏他的喉嚨,爲了讓他的孩子長久安樂。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴比丘們:『如果嬰兒長大了,有了辨別能力,還會把草、土等不乾淨的東西放到嘴裡嗎?』 現代漢語譯本:比丘們回答佛陀:『不會的,世尊!嬰兒長大了,有了辨別能力,甚至不會用腳去碰不乾淨的東西,更何況是放到嘴裡。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴比丘們:『嬰兒小時候,乳母隨時照顧他,等他長大了,智慧成熟了,乳母就放手了,不再勤加照顧,因為他長大了不會自己放縱。同樣,比丘們!如果聲聞弟子剛開始學習,智慧還不足夠,如來就用佛法隨時教導和照顧他們;如果學習很久了,智慧已經很深厚了,如來就放手了,不再隨時慇勤地教導,因為他們的智慧已經成熟,不會放縱自己。因此,聲聞有五種學習的力量,如來成就了十種智慧的力量……』如上面所說的廣泛解釋。

English version: If this power is achieved, the Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, like the Buddhas of the past, will possess the most supreme wisdom, be able to turn the Dharma wheel, and roar like a lion in the assembly. English version: 'These ten powers are only achieved by the Tathagata, and this is the difference between the Tathagata and the Sravakas.' English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. English version: (685) English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Suppose a baby is born to its parents, who then entrust it to a wet nurse. The wet nurse constantly wipes the baby, bathes it, feeds it milk, and cares for it. If the wet nurse is not careful, the baby might put grass, dirt, or other unclean things into its mouth. The wet nurse should immediately teach the baby to spit it out. If the baby can spit it out in time, that is good. If the baby cannot spit it out by itself, the wet nurse should hold its head with her left hand and reach into its throat with her right hand. Although the baby will suffer at that time, the wet nurse must forcefully reach into its throat for the sake of her child's long-term happiness.' English version: The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'If the baby grows up and has the ability to discern, will it still put grass, dirt, or other unclean things into its mouth?' English version: The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'No, World Honored One! When a baby grows up and has the ability to discern, it will not even touch unclean things with its feet, let alone put them in its mouth.' English version: The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'When the baby is small, the wet nurse takes care of it at all times. When it grows up and its wisdom matures, the wet nurse lets go and no longer diligently cares for it, because it has grown up and will not indulge itself. Likewise, bhikkhus! If the Sravaka disciples are just beginning to learn and their wisdom is not yet sufficient, the Tathagata will teach and care for them with the Dharma at all times. If they have been learning for a long time and their wisdom is deep and firm, the Tathagata will let go and no longer diligently teach them, because their wisdom has matured and they will not indulge themselves. Therefore, the Sravakas have five powers of learning, and the Tathagata has achieved ten powers of wisdom...' as explained in detail above.

現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如來有六種力量。如果這六種力量成就,如來、應供、正等覺就能獲得先佛最殊勝的智慧,能夠轉動法輪,在大眾中如獅子般吼叫。第一種力量是如實知曉什麼是處,什麼是非處。第二種力量是如實知曉過去、未來、現在眾生的心意和所受的法。』……如上詳細解說,『這稱為如來的第二種力量。』『第三種力量是如實知曉如來的禪定、解脫、三昧、正受。』……如上詳細解說,『這稱為如來的第三種力量。』『第四種力量是如實知曉如來過去種種宿命之事。』……如上詳細解說,『這稱為如來的第四種力量。』『第五種力量是如來的天眼清凈,勝過人眼,能看見眾生死後往生何處。』……如上詳細解說,『這稱為如來的第五種力量。』『第六種力量是如來的煩惱已盡,獲得無漏的心解脫和智慧解脫。』……如上詳細解說,乃至『在大眾中如獅子般吼叫,這稱為如來的第六種力量。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上所說。不同之處在於:『如果有人來問我如來的處非處力,如來以處非處智力所知所見所覺,成就正等正覺,就為他們解說。』 『如果有人來問如來以樂受智力,如來以樂受智力所知所見所覺,成就正等正覺,就為他們解說,這稱為如來的第二種智力。』

English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'The Tathagata has six powers. If these six powers are accomplished, the Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, can obtain the most excellent wisdom of the previous Buddhas, can turn the Dharma wheel, and roar like a lion in the assembly. The first power is to truly know what is the proper place and what is not the proper place. The second power is to truly know the past, future, and present minds and the Dharma that beings receive.'... As explained in detail above, 'This is called the second power of the Tathagata.' 'The third power is to truly know the Tathagata's meditation, liberation, samadhi, and right reception.'... As explained in detail above, 'This is called the third power of the Tathagata.' 'The fourth power is to truly know the various past lives of the Tathagata.'... As explained in detail above, 'This is called the fourth power of the Tathagata.' 'The fifth power is that the Tathagata's heavenly eye is pure, surpassing human eyes, and can see where beings are reborn after death.'... As explained in detail above, 'This is called the fifth power of the Tathagata.' 'The sixth power is that the Tathagata's afflictions are exhausted, and he has obtained the liberation of mind and the liberation of wisdom without outflows.'... As explained in detail above, up to 'roaring like a lion in the assembly, this is called the sixth power of the Tathagata.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks... as mentioned above. The difference is: 'If someone comes to ask me about the Tathagata's power of proper and improper places, the Tathagata, with the power of wisdom of proper and improper places, knows, sees, and perceives, and achieves perfect enlightenment, then I will explain it to them.' 'If someone comes to ask about the Tathagata's power of wisdom of pleasant feelings, the Tathagata, with the power of wisdom of pleasant feelings, knows, sees, and perceives, and achieves perfect enlightenment, then I will explain it to them, this is called the second power of wisdom of the Tathagata.'


「若有來問如來禪定、解脫、三昧、正受智力,如如來禪定、解脫、三昧、正受,為彼記說。

「若有來問宿命所更智力,如如來宿命所更所知見覺,為彼記說。

「若有來問如來天眼智力,如如來天眼所見,為彼記說。

「若有來問如來漏盡智力,如如來漏盡智力所知見覺,為彼記說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(六八八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有七力。何等為七?信力、精進力、慚力、愧力、念力、定力、慧力。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「信力精進力,  慚力及愧力,  正念定慧力,  是說名七力,  成就七力者,  得盡諸有漏。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

現代漢語譯本 『如果有人來問關於如來的禪定、解脫、三昧、正受智力,就如如來的禪定、解脫、三昧、正受一樣,為他們解說。 『如果有人來問關於宿命所經歷的智力,就如如來所知所見所覺的宿命經歷一樣,為他們解說。 『如果有人來問關於如來的天眼智力,就如如來天眼所見一樣,為他們解說。 『如果有人來問關於如來的漏盡智力,就如如來漏盡智力所知所見所覺一樣,為他們解說。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六八八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有七種力量。哪七種呢?信力、精進力、慚力、愧力、念力、定力、慧力。』 那時,世尊即說偈語: 『信力精進力,慚力及愧力,正念定慧力,是說名七力,成就七力者,得盡諸有漏。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六八九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有七種力量……』如上面所說。不同之處在於:『因此,比丘們!應當這樣學習:『我應當成就信力。』精進力、慚力、愧力、念力、定力、慧力也應當這樣學習。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version 'If someone comes to ask about the Tathagata's meditative concentration, liberation, samadhi, and the power of right reception, explain it to them as the Tathagata's meditative concentration, liberation, samadhi, and right reception are. 'If someone comes to ask about the power of knowledge of past lives, explain it to them as the Tathagata's knowledge, vision, and awareness of past lives are. 'If someone comes to ask about the Tathagata's power of the divine eye, explain it to them as the Tathagata's divine eye sees. 'If someone comes to ask about the Tathagata's power of the extinction of outflows, explain it to them as the Tathagata's power of the extinction of outflows is known, seen, and perceived.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (688) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'There are seven powers. What are the seven? The power of faith, the power of diligence, the power of shame, the power of embarrassment, the power of mindfulness, the power of concentration, and the power of wisdom.' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke in verse: 'The power of faith, the power of diligence, the power of shame and the power of embarrassment, the power of right mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom, these are said to be the seven powers. Those who achieve the seven powers will exhaust all outflows.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (689) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

The power of diligence, the power of shame, the power of embarrassment, the power of mindfulness, the power of concentration, and the power of wisdom should also be learned in this way.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

The difference is that, at that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 'The power of faith, the power of diligence, and the power of shame and remorse, The power of mindfulness, the power of concentration, and the power of wisdom, these are called the seven powers. Those who have achieved these seven powers can quickly cut off all outflows.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

What is the power of faith? It is the faith that arises in the Tathagata, deep and firm, which cannot be destroyed by gods, demons, Brahma, ascetics, Brahmins, or any other fellow practitioners. This is called the power of faith. What is the power of diligence? It is the four right exertions...' as explained in detail before. 'What is the power of shame?

爾時,尊者舍利弗詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!漏盡比丘有幾力?」

佛告舍利弗:「漏盡比丘有八力。何等為八?謂漏盡比丘心順趣于離、流注于離、浚輸于離,順趣于出、流注于出、浚輸于出,順趣涅槃、流注涅槃、浚輸涅槃。若見五欲,猶見火坑

現代漢語譯本:什麼是八種力量?它們是:自在的君王的力量、決斷事務的大臣的力量、懷恨在心的女人的力量、啼哭的嬰兒的力量、詆譭他人的愚人的力量、審慎明智的智者的力量、忍辱的出家人的力量、以及精通計算和博聞強記的人的力量。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六九三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上所說。不同之處在於:『自在的君王的力量』,是指君王展現其自在的威力;『決斷事務的大臣的力量』,是指大臣展現其決斷事務的力量;『懷恨在心的女人的力量』,是指女人天性中展現的懷恨的力量;『啼哭的嬰兒的力量』,是指嬰兒天性中展現的啼哭的力量;『詆譭他人的愚人的力量』,是指愚人天性中觸事就詆譭;『審慎明智的智者的力量』,是指有智慧的人常常展現審慎明智;『忍辱的出家人的力量』,是指出家的人常常展現忍辱;『精通計算和博聞強記的人的力量』,是指博聞強記的人常常展現思惟和計算。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六九四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,尊者舍利弗來到世尊處,頂禮佛足,退坐一旁,對佛說:『世尊!漏盡的比丘有幾種力量?』 佛陀告訴舍利弗:『漏盡的比丘有八種力量。什麼是八種力量?它們是:漏盡的比丘心傾向於遠離、流注于遠離、深入于遠離;傾向於出離、流注于出離、深入于出離;傾向於涅槃、流注于涅槃、深入于涅槃。如果看到五欲,就像看到火坑一樣。

English version: What are the eight? They are: the power of a sovereign king, the power of a minister who decides matters, the power of a woman who harbors resentment, the power of a crying infant, the power of a foolish person who disparages, the power of a discerning and wise person, the power of a renunciate who practices patience, and the power of one who is skilled in calculation and has extensive learning. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (693) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks... as mentioned above. The difference is: 'The power of a sovereign king' refers to the king manifesting his sovereign power; 'the power of a minister who decides matters' refers to the minister manifesting his power to decide matters; 'the power of a woman who harbors resentment' refers to the power of resentment manifested in a woman's nature; 'the power of a crying infant' refers to the power of crying manifested in an infant's nature; 'the power of a foolish person who disparages' refers to the foolish person's nature of disparaging everything they encounter; 'the power of a discerning and wise person' refers to the wise person constantly manifesting discernment; 'the power of a renunciate who practices patience' refers to the renunciate constantly manifesting patience; 'the power of one who is skilled in calculation and has extensive learning' refers to the one with extensive learning constantly manifesting contemplation and calculation. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (694) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the Venerable Shariputra went to where the World Honored One was, bowed his head to his feet, retreated and sat to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! How many powers does a monk who has exhausted the outflows possess?' The Buddha told Shariputra: 'A monk who has exhausted the outflows has eight powers. What are the eight? They are: the monk who has exhausted the outflows, his mind inclines towards detachment, flows towards detachment, and delves into detachment; inclines towards liberation, flows towards liberation, and delves into liberation; inclines towards Nirvana, flows towards Nirvana, and delves into Nirvana. If he sees the five desires, he sees them as if they were a pit of fire.'


。如是見已,于慾念、欲受、欲著,心不永住,修四念處、四正斷、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺分、八聖道分。」

佛說此經已,尊者舍利弗聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

現代漢語譯本:如此觀察之後,對於慾望、慾望的感受、慾望的執著,內心不再長久停留,修習四念處、四正斷、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺支、八聖道分。 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者舍利弗聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六九五) 如同尊者舍利弗所問的經一樣。其他比丘問佛陀也是如此。 (六九六) 詢問眾比丘的經也如上面所說。 (六九七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有九種力量。哪九種力量呢?即是信力、精進力、慚力、愧力、念力、定力、慧力、數力、修力。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (六九八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有九種力量。哪九種呢?即是信力、精進力、慚力、愧力、念力、定力、慧力、數力、修力。什麼是信力?對於如來生起正確的信心,深入而堅固……』如上面所說。『什麼是精進力?即是四正斷……』如上面所說。『什麼是慚力?……』如上面所說。『什麼是愧力?……』如上面所說。『什麼是念力?即是內觀身住……』如上面所說。『什麼是定力?即是四禪。什麼是慧力?即是四聖諦。什麼是數力?即是聖弟子如果在閑靜的房間、樹下這樣學習:『身、口惡行的人在今生和來世都會遭受惡報……』如上面廣說。

English version: Having seen thus, the mind does not dwell long on desire, the feeling of desire, and the attachment to desire, and cultivates the four foundations of mindfulness, the four right exertions, the four bases of spiritual power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven factors of enlightenment, and the noble eightfold path. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Sariputra, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (695) Just like the sutra where Venerable Sariputra asked. Other monks asking the Buddha is also like this. (696) The sutra asking the monks is also as described above. (697) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'There are nine powers. What are the nine powers? They are the power of faith, the power of diligence, the power of shame, the power of embarrassment, the power of mindfulness, the power of concentration, the power of wisdom, the power of calculation, and the power of cultivation.'

They are the power of faith, the power of diligence, the power of shame, the power of embarrassment, the power of mindfulness, the power of concentration, the power of wisdom, the power of calculation, and the power of cultivation. What is the power of faith? It is the arising of correct faith in the Tathagata, deep and firm...' as described above. 'What is the power of diligence? It is the four right exertions...' as described above. 'What is the power of shame?...' as described above. 'What is the power of embarrassment?...' as described above. 'What is the power of mindfulness? It is dwelling in the contemplation of the body within...' as described above. 'What is the power of concentration? It is the four jhanas. What is the power of wisdom? It is the four noble truths. What is the power of calculation? It is when a noble disciple, in a quiet room or under a tree, learns thus: 'Those who commit evil deeds with body and speech will receive evil consequences in this life and the next...' as described in detail above.

現代漢語譯本 『什麼是修習的力量?』是指修習四念處……』如之前所說。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(六九九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有十種力量。哪十種呢?是自在王者的力量、決斷事務大臣的力量、機關工匠的技巧力量、刀劍盜賊的力量、怨恨女人的力量、啼哭嬰兒的力量、譭謗愚人的力量、審慎聰慧的力量、忍辱出家的力量、計數多聞的力量。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(七〇〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上面所說。不同之處在於:『所謂自在王的力量,是指王者展現自在的威力。決斷事務大臣的力量,是指大臣展現決斷事務的功力。機關工匠的技巧力量,是指製造機關的人展現他們的技巧力量。刀劍盜賊的力量,是指盜賊必然展現刀劍的力量。計數多聞的力量,是指凡是思考計數的人展現多聞的力量。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version 'What is the power of cultivation?' It refers to the cultivation of the four foundations of mindfulness...' as previously stated. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(699) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There are ten powers. What are the ten? They are the power of a sovereign king, the power of a minister who decides matters, the power of a skilled artisan of mechanisms, the power of swords and thieves, the power of resentful women, the power of crying infants, the power of slandering fools, the power of careful wisdom, the power of forbearance in renunciation, and the power of counting and extensive learning.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(700) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks... as mentioned above. The difference is: 'The so-called power of a sovereign king refers to the king displaying his sovereign might. The power of a minister who decides matters refers to the minister displaying his ability to decide matters. The power of a skilled artisan of mechanisms refers to those who create mechanisms displaying their skill. The power of swords and thieves refers to thieves necessarily displaying the power of swords. The power of counting and extensive learning refers to all those who think and count displaying the power of extensive learning.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(701) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There are ten powers of the Tathagata. If these powers are achieved, the Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Fully Enlightened One, can reach the most supreme state of the previous Buddhas, can turn the wheel of Dharma, and roar the lion's roar in the assembly. What are the ten? They are that the Tathagata knows what is possible and impossible as it truly is, this is called the first power...' up to the exhaustion of outflows, as mentioned above.

現代漢語譯本:『諸位比丘!對於處與非處的智慧力量,我說這是確定的而非不確定的,乃至對於漏盡的智慧,我說這是確定的而非不確定的。確定的是正道,不確定的是邪道。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (七〇四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『如果不正思惟,未生起的貪慾蓋就會生起,已生起的貪慾蓋會再次生起並使其增長;未生起的瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋也會生起,已生起的瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋會再次生起並使其增長。未生起的念覺支不會生起,已生起的念覺支會退失;未生起的擇法、精進、猗、喜、定、舍覺支不會生起,已生起的擇法、精進、猗、喜、定、舍覺支會退失。』 『如果比丘正思惟,未生起的貪慾蓋就不會生起,已生起的貪慾蓋會滅除;未生起的瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋不會生起,已生起的瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋會斷除。未生起的念覺支會生起,已生起的念覺支會再次生起並使其增長;未生起的擇法、精進、猗、喜、定、舍覺支會生起,已生起的擇法、精進、猗、喜、定、舍覺支會再次生起並使其增長。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (七〇五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『有五種退失之法。是哪五種呢?即貪慾、瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋,這些是退失之法。如果修習七覺支,多加修習使其增長,這就是不退失之法。』

English version: 『Monks, regarding the power of wisdom concerning what is possible and what is impossible, I say it is definite, not indefinite; and regarding the wisdom of the extinction of defilements, I say it is definite, not indefinite. What is definite is the right path, and what is indefinite is the wrong path.』 After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (704) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta』s Grove, Anathapindika』s Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, 『If one does not think correctly, unarisen sensual desire arises, and arisen sensual desire is reborn and increases; unarisen anger, sleepiness, restlessness, remorse, and doubt arise, and arisen anger, sleepiness, restlessness, remorse, and doubt are reborn and increase. The unarisen mindfulness enlightenment factor does not arise, and the arisen mindfulness enlightenment factor declines; the unarisen investigation of the Dhamma, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity enlightenment factors do not arise, and the arisen investigation of the Dhamma, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity enlightenment factors decline.』 『If a monk thinks correctly, unarisen sensual desire does not arise, and arisen sensual desire is extinguished; unarisen anger, sleepiness, restlessness, remorse, and doubt do not arise, and arisen anger, sleepiness, restlessness, remorse, and doubt are abandoned.

(705) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta』s Grove, Anathapindika』s Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, 『There are five factors of decline. What are the five? They are sensual desire, anger, sleepiness, restlessness, and doubt. These are factors of decline. If one cultivates the seven factors of enlightenment, cultivates them frequently and increases them, these are factors of non-decline.』

現代漢語譯本:什麼是七種不退之法?它們是念覺支、擇法覺支、精進覺支、猗覺支、喜覺支、定覺支和舍覺支,這被稱為不退之法。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (七〇六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五種法,能使人陷入黑暗,使人失去眼睛,使人沒有智慧,削弱智慧,不能帶來光明,不能帶來正覺,不能導向涅槃。這五種法是什麼呢?它們是貪慾、瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔和疑。這五種法能使人陷入黑暗,使人失去眼睛,使人沒有智慧,不能帶來光明,不能帶來正覺,不能導向涅槃。』 『如果有七覺支,就能帶來光明,能成為眼睛,增長智慧,帶來光明,帶來正覺,導向涅槃。這七覺支是什麼呢?它們是念覺支、擇法覺支、精進覺支、猗覺支、喜覺支、定覺支和舍覺支。它們帶來光明,成為眼睛,增長智慧,帶來光明,帶來正覺,導向涅槃。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (七〇七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五種障礙、五種覆蓋,它們煩惱內心,削弱智慧,成為障礙,不能帶來光明,不能帶來正覺,不能導向涅槃。這五種是什麼呢?它們是貪慾蓋、瞋恚蓋、睡眠蓋、掉悔蓋和疑蓋。這五種覆蓋,是覆蓋和障礙,煩惱內心,使智慧衰弱,成為障礙,不能帶來光明,不能帶來正覺,不能導向涅槃。』

English version: What are the seven factors of non-regression? They are the mindfulness enlightenment factor, the investigation of dharma enlightenment factor, the effort enlightenment factor, the tranquility enlightenment factor, the joy enlightenment factor, the concentration enlightenment factor, and the equanimity enlightenment factor. These are called the factors of non-regression. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (706) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'There are five things that can lead to darkness, can cause one to lose sight, can cause one to be without wisdom, weaken wisdom, not bring about light, not bring about enlightenment, and not lead to Nirvana. What are these five things? They are greed, hatred, sleepiness, restlessness and remorse, and doubt. These five things can lead to darkness, can cause one to lose sight, can cause one to be without wisdom, not bring about light, not bring about enlightenment, and not lead to Nirvana.' 'If there are seven factors of enlightenment, they can bring about great light, can be the eyes, increase wisdom, bring about light, bring about enlightenment, and lead to Nirvana. What are these seven factors of enlightenment? They are the mindfulness enlightenment factor, the investigation of dharma enlightenment factor, the effort enlightenment factor, the tranquility enlightenment factor, the joy enlightenment factor, the concentration enlightenment factor, and the equanimity enlightenment factor. They bring about light, are the eyes, increase wisdom, bring about light, bring about enlightenment, and lead to Nirvana.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (707) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'There are five hindrances, five coverings, that trouble the mind, weaken wisdom, become obstacles, do not bring about light, do not bring about enlightenment, and do not lead to Nirvana. What are these five? They are the hindrance of greed, the hindrance of hatred, the hindrance of sleepiness, the hindrance of restlessness and remorse, and the hindrance of doubt. These five coverings are coverings and obstacles, trouble the mind, weaken wisdom, become obstacles, do not bring about light, do not bring about enlightenment, and do not lead to Nirvana.'


「若七覺支,非覆非蓋,不惱於心,增長智慧,為明、為正覺,轉趣涅槃。何等為七?謂念覺支等……」如上說,乃至舍覺支。「如此七覺支,非翳非蓋,不惱於心,增長智慧,為明、為正覺,轉趣涅槃。」爾時,世尊即說偈曰:

「貪慾瞋恚蓋,  睡眠掉悔疑,  如此五種蓋,  增長諸煩惱,  此五覆世間,  深著難可度,  障蔽于眾生,  令不見正道。  若得七覺支,  則能為照明,  唯此真諦言,  等正覺所說,  念覺支為首,  擇法正思惟,  精進猗喜覺,  三昧舍覺支,  如此七覺支,  牟尼之正道,  隨順大仙人,  脫生死怖畏。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若族姓子舍諸世務,出家學道,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟正信非家,出家學道。如是出家,而於其中,有愚癡士夫依止聚落城邑,晨朝著衣持缽,入村乞食,不善護身,不守根門,不攝其念,觀察女人少壯好色而生染著,不正思惟,心馳取相,趣色慾想,為欲心熾盛,燒心燒身,返俗還戒而自退沒。厭離俗務,出家學道而反染著,增諸罪業而自破壞,沈翳沒溺

現代漢語譯本:『如果七覺支,不是覆蓋,不是遮蓋,不惱亂內心,增長智慧,成為光明、成為正覺,轉向涅槃。什麼是七覺支呢?就是念覺支等等……』如上所說,乃至舍覺支。『如此七覺支,不是障礙,不是遮蓋,不惱亂內心,增長智慧,成為光明、成為正覺,轉向涅槃。』那時,世尊就說了偈語: 『貪慾、嗔恚是覆蓋,睡眠、掉舉、後悔、疑惑,這五種覆蓋,增長各種煩惱,這五種覆蓋世間,深深執著難以度脫,遮蔽眾生,使他們看不見正道。如果得到七覺支,就能成為照明,唯有這才是真理,是等正覺所說。念覺支為首,擇法、正思惟,精進、猗、喜覺,三昧、舍覺支,如此七覺支,是牟尼的正道,隨順大仙人,脫離生死怖畏。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (七〇八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果善男子捨棄世俗事務,出家學道,剃除鬚髮,穿著袈裟,以正信離開家庭,出家學道。這樣出家,而其中,有愚癡的人依止村落城鎮,早晨穿好衣服拿著缽,進入村莊乞食,不善於保護自己,不守護根門,不攝持念頭,觀察女人年輕貌美而生起貪染執著,不正思惟,心隨外相,產生**的念頭,因為慾望心熾盛,燒灼內心和身體,返回世俗,還俗破戒而自我沉淪。厭離世俗事務,出家學道反而又生起貪染執著,增加各種罪業而自我破壞,沉沒溺亡。』

English version: 'If the seven factors of enlightenment are not a covering, not a concealment, do not disturb the mind, increase wisdom, become light, become enlightenment, and turn towards Nirvana. What are the seven factors? They are mindfulness enlightenment factor, etc...' As mentioned above, up to equanimity enlightenment factor. 'These seven factors of enlightenment are not an obstruction, not a concealment, do not disturb the mind, increase wisdom, become light, become enlightenment, and turn towards Nirvana.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke the following verses: 'Greed and hatred are coverings, sleep, restlessness, regret, and doubt, these five coverings increase various afflictions, these five cover the world, deeply attached and difficult to overcome, obscuring sentient beings, causing them not to see the right path. If one obtains the seven factors of enlightenment, they can become illumination, only this is the truth, spoken by the Fully Enlightened One. Mindfulness enlightenment factor is the first, discernment of dharma, right thought, effort, joy, and rapture enlightenment factors, concentration and equanimity enlightenment factors, these seven factors of enlightenment are the right path of the Muni, following the great sage, escaping the fear of birth and death.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (708) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'If a man of good family abandons worldly affairs, leaves home to study the Way, shaves his head and beard, wears the robe, with right faith leaves his home, and leaves home to study the Way. Having left home in this way, among them, there are foolish men who rely on villages and towns, in the morning put on their robes and carry their bowls, enter the village to beg for food, are not good at protecting themselves, do not guard their sense doors, do not restrain their thoughts, observe women who are young and beautiful and give rise to attachment and clinging, do not think correctly, their minds follow external appearances, give rise to thoughts of ** , because the desire mind is intense, burning the mind and body, return to the secular world, break their vows and fall back into the world. Having renounced worldly affairs, left home to study the Way, they instead give rise to attachment and clinging, increase various sins and destroy themselves, sinking and drowning.'


「有五種大樹,其種至微,而樹生長巨大,而能映障眾雜小樹,蔭翳萎悴,不得生長。何等五?謂揵遮耶樹、迦捭多羅樹、阿濕波他樹、優曇缽羅樹、尼拘留他樹。如是五種心樹,種子至微,而漸漸長大,蔭覆諸節,能令諸節蔭覆墮臥。何等為五?謂貪慾蓋漸漸增長,睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋漸漸增長,以增長故,令善心蔭覆墮臥。

「若修習七覺支,多修習已,轉成不退。何等為七?謂念覺支、擇法、精進、猗、喜、定、舍覺支。如是七覺支,修習多修習已,轉成不退轉。」

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「聖弟子清凈信心,專精聽法者,能斷五法,修習七法,令其滿足

現代漢語譯本 『有五種大樹,它們的種子非常微小,但樹木生長巨大,能夠遮蔽其他雜亂的小樹,使它們因陰暗而枯萎,無法生長。這五種樹是什麼呢?它們是揵遮耶樹、迦捭多羅樹、阿濕波他樹、優曇缽羅樹和尼拘留他樹。這五種心樹也是如此,種子非常微小,但漸漸長大,遮蔽了所有的枝節,使枝節因陰暗而衰落。這五種心樹是什麼呢?它們是貪慾的覆蓋漸漸增長,以及睡眠、掉悔、疑的覆蓋漸漸增長。因為這些增長,使得善心被遮蔽而衰落。』 『如果修習七覺支,並多次修習,就會轉變為不退的狀態。這七覺支是什麼呢?它們是念覺支、擇法覺支、精進覺支、猗覺支、喜覺支、定覺支和舍覺支。如果修習這七覺支,並多次修習,就會轉變為不退轉的狀態。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (七〇九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 『如果比丘專心一意,側耳傾聽正法,就能斷除五種障礙,修習七種法,使其進步並達到圓滿。需要斷除的五種障礙是什麼呢?它們是貪慾的覆蓋、瞋恚的覆蓋、睡眠的覆蓋、掉悔的覆蓋和疑的覆蓋,這被稱為五種障礙的斷除。需要修習的七種法是什麼呢?它們是念覺支、擇法覺支、精進覺支、猗覺支、喜覺支、定覺支和舍覺支。修習這七種法,就能進步並達到圓滿。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (七一〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『聖弟子如果具有清凈的信心,專心聽聞佛法,就能斷除五種障礙,修習七種法,使其達到圓滿。』

English version 'There are five great trees, whose seeds are very small, but the trees grow huge, and can overshadow all other small trees, causing them to wither and not grow due to the shade. What are these five? They are the Nigrodha tree, the Kapittha tree, the Asvattha tree, the Udumbara tree, and the Nyagrodha tree. Similarly, there are five mind-trees, whose seeds are very small, but gradually grow large, overshadowing all the branches, causing the branches to fall into decay due to the shade. What are these five? They are the cover of greed gradually increasing, and the cover of sleep, restlessness, remorse, and doubt gradually increasing. Because of this increase, the good mind is overshadowed and falls into decay.' 'If one cultivates the seven factors of enlightenment, and cultivates them often, one will transform into a state of non-regression. What are these seven? They are the enlightenment factors of mindfulness, investigation of the Dhamma, energy, tranquility, joy, concentration, and equanimity. If one cultivates these seven factors of enlightenment, and cultivates them often, one will transform into a state of non-regression.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (709) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. 'If a monk focuses his mind and attentively listens to the true Dharma, he can abandon five things and cultivate seven things, causing him to progress and reach fulfillment. What are the five things to be abandoned? They are the cover of greed, the cover of hatred, the cover of sleep, the cover of restlessness and remorse, and the cover of doubt. These are called the abandonment of the five things. What are the seven things to be cultivated? They are the enlightenment factors of mindfulness, investigation of the Dhamma, energy, tranquility, joy, concentration, and equanimity. By cultivating these seven things, one can progress and reach fulfillment.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (710) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'A noble disciple who has pure faith and attentively listens to the Dharma can abandon five things and cultivate seven things, causing him to reach fulfillment.'


。何等為五?謂貪慾蓋,瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑,此蓋則斷。何等七法?謂念覺支,擇法、精進、猗、喜、定、舍覺支。此七法修習滿足,凈信者,謂心解脫;智者,謂慧解脫;貪慾染心者,不得不樂;無明染心者,慧不清凈。是故,比丘!離貪慾者心解脫,離無明者慧解脫。若彼比丘離貪慾,心解脫,得身作證;離無明,慧解脫,是名比丘斷愛縛結,慢無間等,究竟苦邊。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七一一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城耆阇崛山中。

時,有無畏王子,日日步涉,仿佯遊行,來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!有沙門、婆羅門作如是見,作如是說:『無因、無緣眾生煩惱,無因、無緣眾生清凈。』世尊復云何?」

佛告無畏:「沙門、婆羅門為其說,不思而說,愚癡、不辨、不善,非知思,不知量,作如是說:『無因、無緣眾生煩惱,無因、無緣眾生清凈。』所以者何?有因、有緣眾生煩惱,有因、有緣眾生清凈故。何因、何緣眾生煩惱?何因、何緣眾生清凈?謂眾生貪慾增上,於他財物、他眾具而起貪言:『此物於我有者,好、不離、愛樂

現代漢語譯本:什麼是五蓋?它們是貪慾蓋、瞋恚蓋、睡眠蓋、掉悔蓋和疑蓋,這些蓋障會被斷除。什麼是七覺支?它們是念覺支、擇法覺支、精進覺支、猗覺支、喜覺支、定覺支和舍覺支。這七覺支如果修習圓滿,對於有凈信的人來說,稱為心解脫;對於有智慧的人來說,稱為慧解脫;被貪慾污染的心,必然不會感到快樂;被無明污染的心,智慧不清凈。因此,比丘們!離貪慾者,心解脫;離無明者,慧解脫。如果那位比丘離貪慾,心解脫,證得身證;離無明,慧解脫,這就稱為比丘斷除了愛縛結,慢無間等,最終到達苦的盡頭。」 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (七一一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的耆阇崛山中。 當時,有一位名叫無畏的王子,每天都來回走動,徘徊,來到佛陀所在的地方,與世尊互相問候慰勞后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!有些沙門、婆羅門持有這樣的觀點,這樣說:『眾生的煩惱沒有原因,沒有條件;眾生的清凈也沒有原因,沒有條件。』世尊您又是怎麼認為的呢?』 佛陀告訴無畏:『那些沙門、婆羅門那樣說,是不經過思考就說的,是愚癡、不明事理、不善巧的,他們不瞭解思考,不瞭解衡量,才這樣說:『眾生的煩惱沒有原因,沒有條件;眾生的清凈也沒有原因,沒有條件。』為什麼呢?因為眾生的煩惱是有原因、有條件的,眾生的清凈也是有原因、有條件的。什麼原因、什麼條件導致眾生煩惱?什麼原因、什麼條件導致眾生清凈?是眾生貪慾增長,對於他人的財物、他人的用具,就生起貪念,說:『如果這些東西是我的,那該多好,我不想失去它們,我喜歡它們。』

English version: What are the five? They are the cover of desire, the cover of anger, the cover of sleep, the cover of restlessness and remorse, and the cover of doubt. These covers are broken. What are the seven factors? They are the enlightenment factor of mindfulness, the enlightenment factor of investigation of the Dhamma, the enlightenment factor of energy, the enlightenment factor of tranquility, the enlightenment factor of joy, the enlightenment factor of concentration, and the enlightenment factor of equanimity. If these seven factors are cultivated and fulfilled, for those with pure faith, it is called liberation of the mind; for those with wisdom, it is called liberation of wisdom; a mind stained by desire will inevitably not feel joy; a mind stained by ignorance will have unclear wisdom. Therefore, monks! One who is free from desire has liberation of the mind; one who is free from ignorance has liberation of wisdom. If that monk is free from desire, has liberation of the mind, and attains bodily realization; is free from ignorance, has liberation of wisdom, this is called a monk who has broken the bonds of love, the absence of pride, and has ultimately reached the end of suffering.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (711) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gijjhakuta in Rajagaha. At that time, there was a prince named Abhaya, who would walk back and forth daily, wandering, and come to where the Buddha was. After greeting and exchanging pleasantries with the World Honored One, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha: 『World Honored One! Some ascetics and Brahmins hold such views, saying: 『Beings' afflictions have no cause, no condition; beings' purity has no cause, no condition.』 What is your view, World Honored One?』 The Buddha said to Abhaya: 『Those ascetics and Brahmins who say that, speak without thinking, are foolish, ignorant, and unskilled. They do not understand thinking, do not understand measuring, and thus say: 『Beings' afflictions have no cause, no condition; beings' purity has no cause, no condition.』 Why is that? Because beings' afflictions have a cause and a condition, and beings' purity also has a cause and a condition. What cause and what condition lead to beings' afflictions? What cause and what condition lead to beings' purity? It is that beings' desire increases, and regarding others' possessions and others' belongings, they give rise to greed, saying: 『If these things were mine, how wonderful, I do not want to lose them, I like them.』


。』於他眾生而起恨心、兇心,計挍、欲打、欲縛、欲伏,加諸不道。為造眾難,不捨瞋恚,身睡眠、心懈怠、心掉動,內不寂靜,心常疑惑,過去疑、未來疑、現在疑。無畏。如是因、如是緣眾生煩惱。如是因、如是緣眾生清凈。」

無畏白佛:「瞿曇!一分之蓋,足煩惱心,況復一切?」無畏白佛:「瞿曇!何因、何緣眾生清凈?」

佛告無畏:「若婆羅門有一勝念,決定成就,久時所作,久時所說,能隨憶念,當於爾時習念覺支。修念覺已,念覺滿足,念覺滿足已,則于選擇分別思惟,爾時擇法覺支修習。修擇法覺支已,擇法覺支滿足,彼選擇分別思量法已,則精進方便。精進覺支於此修習,修精進覺支已,精進覺支滿足,彼精進方便已,則歡喜生,離諸食想。修喜覺支,修喜覺支已,則喜覺支滿足,喜覺支滿足已,身心猗息,則修猗覺支。修猗覺支已,猗覺滿足,身猗息已,則愛樂,愛樂已心定,則修定覺支。修定覺支已,定覺滿足,定覺滿足已,貪憂滅,則舍心生,修舍覺支。修舍覺支已,舍覺支滿足。如是,無畏!此因、此緣眾生清凈

現代漢語譯本:'對於其他眾生生起憎恨之心、兇惡之心,算計、想要毆打、想要捆綁、想要制伏,施加不公正的對待。製造各種困難,不肯捨棄嗔恚,身體昏睡、內心懈怠、內心躁動,內心不得安寧,心中常常疑惑,對過去疑惑、對未來疑惑、對現在疑惑。沒有畏懼。像這樣的因、像這樣的緣導致眾生煩惱。像這樣的因、像這樣的緣導致眾生清凈。' 無畏對佛說:'瞿曇!一部分的覆蓋,就足以使內心煩惱,更何況是一切呢?'無畏對佛說:'瞿曇!是什麼因、什麼緣導致眾生清凈?' 佛告訴無畏:'如果婆羅門有一種殊勝的念頭,確定能夠成就,對於過去所做的事情、過去所說的話,能夠隨之憶念,在那個時候就應當修習念覺支。修習念覺支之後,念覺支就圓滿,念覺支圓滿之後,就會選擇分別思惟,在那個時候修習擇法覺支。修習擇法覺支之後,擇法覺支就圓滿,他選擇分別思量法之後,就會精進方便。精進覺支在這個時候修習,修習精進覺支之後,精進覺支就圓滿,他精進方便之後,就會產生歡喜,遠離各種飲食的念頭。修習喜覺支,修習喜覺支之後,喜覺支就圓滿,喜覺支圓滿之後,身心就會安寧,就修習猗覺支。修習猗覺支之後,猗覺支就圓滿,身體安寧之後,就會愛樂,愛樂之後內心就會安定,就修習定覺支。修習定覺支之後,定覺支就圓滿,定覺支圓滿之後,貪慾和憂愁就會滅除,就會產生舍心,修習舍覺支。修習舍覺支之後,舍覺支就圓滿。像這樣,無畏!這是眾生清凈的因、這是眾生清凈的緣。'

English version: 'Towards other beings, they arise with hatred, with malice, calculating, wanting to strike, wanting to bind, wanting to subdue, inflicting unjust treatment. Creating various difficulties, not abandoning anger, the body is drowsy, the mind is lazy, the mind is agitated, the inner self is not peaceful, the mind is constantly doubtful, doubtful about the past, doubtful about the future, doubtful about the present. Without fear. Such causes, such conditions lead to the afflictions of beings. Such causes, such conditions lead to the purification of beings.' Fearless said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! A portion of covering is enough to trouble the mind, let alone everything?' Fearless said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! What cause, what condition leads to the purification of beings?' The Buddha told Fearless, 'If a Brahmin has a superior thought, which is certain to be accomplished, for a long time what has been done, what has been said, he can recall it, at that time he should practice the mindfulness enlightenment factor. After practicing the mindfulness enlightenment factor, the mindfulness enlightenment factor is fulfilled, after the mindfulness enlightenment factor is fulfilled, then he will choose to discriminate and contemplate, at that time he practices the dharma-discrimination enlightenment factor. After practicing the dharma-discrimination enlightenment factor, the dharma-discrimination enlightenment factor is fulfilled, after he chooses to discriminate and contemplate the dharma, then he will be diligent and skillful. The diligence enlightenment factor is practiced at this time, after practicing the diligence enlightenment factor, the diligence enlightenment factor is fulfilled, after he is diligent and skillful, then joy will arise, and he will be detached from all thoughts of food. He practices the joy enlightenment factor, after practicing the joy enlightenment factor, the joy enlightenment factor is fulfilled, after the joy enlightenment factor is fulfilled, the body and mind will be tranquil, then he practices the tranquility enlightenment factor. After practicing the tranquility enlightenment factor, the tranquility enlightenment factor is fulfilled, after the body is tranquil, then he will have love and joy, after love and joy the mind will be stable, then he practices the concentration enlightenment factor. After practicing the concentration enlightenment factor, the concentration enlightenment factor is fulfilled, after the concentration enlightenment factor is fulfilled, greed and sorrow will be extinguished, then the equanimity mind will arise, he practices the equanimity enlightenment factor. After practicing the equanimity enlightenment factor, the equanimity enlightenment factor is fulfilled. Thus, Fearless! This is the cause, this is the condition for the purification of beings.'

無畏白瞿曇:「若一分滿足,令眾生清凈,況復一切?」無畏白佛:「瞿曇!當何名此經?云何奉持?」

佛告無畏王子:「當名此為覺支經。」

無畏白佛:「瞿曇!此為最勝覺分。瞿曇!我是王子,安樂亦常求安樂,而希出入,今來上山,四體疲極,得聞瞿曇說覺支經,悉忘疲勞。」

當時,有眾多比丘早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。當時,眾多比丘心想:『今天太早了,乞食的時間還沒到,我們先去那些外道精舍看看吧。』

English version Prince Abhaya said to Gautama: 'If a part of it is fulfilled, it leads to the purification of beings, how much more so if all of it is fulfilled?' Prince Abhaya asked the Buddha: 'Gautama! What should this sutra be called? How should we uphold it?' The Buddha told Prince Abhaya: 'This sutra should be called the Sutra of the Limbs of Enlightenment.' Prince Abhaya said to the Buddha: 'Gautama! This is the most excellent part of enlightenment. Gautama! I am a prince, usually enjoying comfort and seeking pleasure, and I like to go out and about. Today, coming to the mountain, my limbs are exhausted. Having heard Gautama speak of the Sutra of the Limbs of Enlightenment, all my fatigue has been forgotten.' After the Buddha finished speaking, Prince Abhaya, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded. He rose from his seat, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and departed.

Translated by Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

(712)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying at Mount Gijjhakuta in Rajagaha... (as described above). The difference is: 'There are ascetics and Brahmins who hold such views and say: 'Beings are without cause or condition, without wisdom or insight; beings are without cause or condition, with wisdom and insight'...' Thus it was extensively explained, until Prince Abhaya, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded. He bowed at the Buddha's feet and departed.

(713)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying at Jeta Grove in Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti.

At that time, many monks, having put on their robes and taken their bowls, entered Sravasti to beg for alms. At that time, many monks thought: 'It is too early today, the time for begging for alms has not yet arrived. Let us first go to the hermitages of those non-Buddhist ascetics.'


。」

眾多比丘即入外道精舍,與諸外道共相問訊慰勞,問訊慰勞已,於一面坐已,諸外道問比丘言:「沙門瞿曇為諸弟子說法,斷五蓋覆心,慧力羸,為障礙分,不轉趣涅槃,住四念處,修七覺意。我等亦復為諸弟子說斷五蓋覆心,慧力羸,善住四念處,修七覺分。我等與彼沙門瞿曇有何等異?俱能說法。」

時,眾多比丘聞外道所說,心不喜悅,反呵罵,從座起去。入舍衛城,乞食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。以諸外道所說,具白世尊。

爾時,世尊告眾多比丘:「彼外道說是語時,汝等應反問言:『諸外道!五蓋者,種應有十。七覺者,種應有十四。何等為五蓋之十、七覺之十四?』如是問者,彼諸外道則自駭散,說諸外道法,瞋恚、憍慢、毀呰、嫌恨、不忍心生,或默然低頭,失辯潛思。所以者何?我不見諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天、人眾中,聞我所說歡喜隨順者,唯除如來及聲聞眾於此聞者。

「諸比丘!何等為五蓋之十?謂有內貪慾,有外貪慾。彼內貪慾者即是蓋,非智非等覺,不轉趣涅槃。彼外貪慾即是蓋,非智非等覺,不轉趣涅槃。謂瞋恚有瞋恚相,若瞋恚及瞋恚相即是蓋,非智非等覺,不轉趣涅槃

眾多比丘進入外道的精舍,與那些外道互相問候,慰問。問候慰問完畢后,在一旁坐下。那些外道問比丘們說:『沙門瞿曇為他的弟子們說法,教導他們斷除覆蓋內心的五種障礙,這些障礙會削弱智慧的力量,成為修行的阻礙,使人無法趨向涅槃。他還教導他們安住於四念處,修習七覺支。我們也是這樣教導我們的弟子,斷除五蓋,安住四念處,修習七覺支。我們和沙門瞿曇有什麼不同呢?我們都能說法。』 當時,許多比丘聽到外道這樣說,心中不悅,反而呵斥他們,然後起身離開。他們進入舍衛城乞食,返回精舍后,收拾好衣缽,洗完腳,就去拜見佛陀,向佛陀行禮后,退坐在一旁。他們將外道所說的話,詳細地告訴了世尊。 這時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『當那些外道說這些話時,你們應該反問他們:『各位外道!所謂的五蓋,其種類應該有十種。所謂的七覺支,其種類應該有十四種。什麼是五蓋的十種,七覺支的十四種呢?』這樣問他們,那些外道就會自己驚慌失措,他們所說的外道之法,會讓他們產生嗔恨、驕慢、譭謗、嫌隙、不忍之心,或者沉默不語,低頭不語,失去辯論的能力。為什麼呢?因為我沒有看到在諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天人之中,有誰聽到我所說的法會歡喜隨順的,除了如來和聲聞弟子們。' 『諸位比丘!什麼是五蓋的十種呢?就是有內在的貪慾,有外在的貪慾。這內在的貪慾就是一種障礙,它不是智慧,不能使人覺悟,不能使人趨向涅槃。這外在的貪慾也是一種障礙,它不是智慧,不能使人覺悟,不能使人趨向涅槃。還有嗔恚,有嗔恚的表象,這嗔恚和嗔恚的表象都是障礙,它不是智慧,不能使人覺悟,不能使人趨向涅槃。'

Many monks entered the heretics' monastery and exchanged greetings and pleasantries with them. After the greetings, they sat down to one side. The heretics asked the monks, 'The ascetic Gautama teaches his disciples to abandon the five hindrances that cover the mind, which weaken the power of wisdom, become obstacles, and prevent one from reaching Nirvana. He also teaches them to abide in the four foundations of mindfulness and cultivate the seven factors of enlightenment. We also teach our disciples to abandon the five hindrances, abide in the four foundations of mindfulness, and cultivate the seven factors of enlightenment. What is the difference between us and the ascetic Gautama? We both teach the Dharma.' At that time, many monks, upon hearing what the heretics said, were displeased and instead rebuked them, then rose from their seats and left. They went into Shravasti to beg for alms, and after returning to the monastery, they put away their robes and bowls, washed their feet, and went to see the Buddha. After bowing at the Buddha's feet, they sat down to one side. They told the World-Honored One in detail what the heretics had said. Then, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'When those heretics say these things, you should ask them in return: 'Venerable heretics! The five hindrances should have ten types. The seven factors of enlightenment should have fourteen types. What are the ten types of the five hindrances and the fourteen types of the seven factors of enlightenment?' If you ask them this, those heretics will become confused and scattered. Their heretical teachings will cause them to generate anger, arrogance, slander, resentment, and intolerance, or they will become silent, lower their heads, and lose their ability to argue. Why is this? Because I have not seen among the gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, or humans anyone who, upon hearing what I say, will joyfully follow it, except for the Tathagata and the assembly of disciples who hear it.' 'Monks! What are the ten types of the five hindrances? They are internal greed and external greed. This internal greed is a hindrance; it is not wisdom, it does not lead to enlightenment, and it does not lead to Nirvana. This external greed is also a hindrance; it is not wisdom, it does not lead to enlightenment, and it does not lead to Nirvana. Then there is anger, and the appearance of anger. This anger and the appearance of anger are hindrances; they are not wisdom, they do not lead to enlightenment, and they do not lead to Nirvana.'


。有睡有眠,彼睡彼眠即是蓋,非智非等覺,不轉趣涅槃。有掉有悔,彼掉彼悔即是蓋,非智非等覺,不轉趣涅槃。有疑善法,有疑不善法,彼善法疑、不善法疑即是蓋,非智非等覺,不轉趣涅槃。是名五蓋說十。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有眾多比丘……如上說。差別者:「有諸外道出家作如是說者,當復問言:『若心微劣猶豫者,爾時應修何等覺分?何等為非修時?若復掉心者、掉心猶豫者,爾時復修何等覺分?何等為非時?』如是問者,彼諸外道心則駭散,說諸異法,心生忿恚、憍慢、毀呰、嫌恨、不忍,或默然低頭,失辯潛思。所以者何?我不見諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天、人眾中,聞我所說歡喜隨喜者,唯除如來及聲聞眾於此聞者。

「諸比丘!若爾時其心微劣、其心猶豫者,不應修猗覺分、定覺分、舍覺分。所以者何?微劣心生、微劣猶豫,以此諸法增其微劣故。譬如小火,欲令其燃,增以燋炭。云何?比丘!非為增炭令火滅耶?」

比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」

「如是,比丘!微劣猶豫,若修猗覺分、定覺分、舍覺分者,此則非時,增懈怠故。若掉心起,若掉心猶豫,爾時不應修擇法覺分、精進覺分、喜覺分

現代漢語譯本:他捨棄善法,就是捨棄覺悟的組成部分,這是智慧,是正等覺,能引導趨向涅槃。他捨棄不善法,就是捨棄覺悟的組成部分,這是智慧,是正等覺,能引導趨向涅槃,這被稱為七覺分說為十四種。」 佛陀說完這部經后,眾多比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (七一四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有眾多比丘……如上面所說。不同之處在於:『有些外道出家的人這樣說,應當反問他們:『如果心力微弱、猶豫不決時,那時應該修習哪種覺悟的組成部分?哪種是不應該修習的?如果心浮躁、心浮躁且猶豫不決時,那時又應該修習哪種覺悟的組成部分?哪種是不應該修習的?』這樣問他們,那些外道的心就會驚慌失措,說出各種不同的道理,心中產生憤怒、驕慢、譭謗、嫌恨、不忍,或者沉默低頭,失去辯論能力,陷入沉思。為什麼呢?我沒有見到諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天人眾中,聽到我所說而歡喜隨喜的,只有如來和聲聞眾聽到這些才會歡喜。 『諸位比丘!如果那時心力微弱、心猶豫不決,不應該修習猗覺分、定覺分、舍覺分。為什麼呢?因為心力微弱、猶豫不決,修習這些法會增加其微弱。譬如小火,想要讓它燃燒,卻增加焦炭。怎麼樣?比丘們!增加焦炭不是讓火熄滅嗎?』 比丘們回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 『是的,比丘們!心力微弱、猶豫不決,如果修習猗覺分、定覺分、舍覺分,這就不是時候,會增加懈怠。如果心浮躁,或者心浮躁且猶豫不決,那時不應該修習擇法覺分、精進覺分、喜覺分。

English version: 'His abandonment of good dharmas is the abandonment of the enlightenment factors; it is wisdom, it is perfect enlightenment, and it can lead to Nirvana. His abandonment of unwholesome dharmas is the abandonment of the enlightenment factors; it is wisdom, it is perfect enlightenment, and it can lead to Nirvana. This is called the seven enlightenment factors being spoken of as fourteen.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, many monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (714) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there were many monks... as described above. The difference is: 'Some ascetics from other sects say this, and one should ask them in return: 'If the mind is weak and hesitant, which enlightenment factor should be cultivated at that time? Which is not the time to cultivate? If the mind is agitated, or agitated and hesitant, which enlightenment factor should be cultivated at that time? Which is not the time?' When asked in this way, those ascetics from other sects will be bewildered, speak various different doctrines, and their minds will generate anger, arrogance, slander, resentment, and intolerance, or they will remain silent with their heads lowered, losing their ability to argue and falling into contemplation. Why is that? I have not seen among the gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, gods, and humans, anyone who hears what I say and rejoices in it, except for the Tathagata and the assembly of disciples who hear these things. 'Monks! If at that time the mind is weak and hesitant, one should not cultivate the tranquility enlightenment factor, the concentration enlightenment factor, or the equanimity enlightenment factor. Why is that? Because a weak mind and hesitation, cultivating these dharmas will increase its weakness. For example, a small fire, wanting to make it burn, one adds charred coal. How is it? Monks! Isn't adding charred coal making the fire go out?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'Yes, Venerable One!' 'Yes, monks! A weak and hesitant mind, if one cultivates the tranquility enlightenment factor, the concentration enlightenment factor, or the equanimity enlightenment factor, this is not the right time, and it will increase laziness. If an agitated mind arises, or an agitated and hesitant mind, at that time one should not cultivate the dharma-discrimination enlightenment factor, the effort enlightenment factor, or the joy enlightenment factor.'


。所以者何?掉心起、掉心猶豫,以此諸法能令其增。譬如熾火,欲令其滅,足其乾薪,于意云何?豈不令火增熾燃耶?」

比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「如是掉心生、掉心猶豫,修擇法覺分、精進覺分、喜覺分,增其掉心。諸比丘!若微劣心生、微劣猶豫,是時應修擇法覺分、精進覺分、喜覺分。所以者何?微劣心生、微劣猶豫,以此諸法示、教、照、喜。譬如小火,欲令其燃,足其乾薪。云何?比丘!此火寧熾燃不?」

比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「如是微劣心生、微劣猶豫,當於爾時修擇法覺分、精進覺分、喜覺分,示、教、照、喜。若掉心生、掉心猶豫,修猗覺分、定覺分、舍覺分。所以者何?掉心生、掉心猶豫,此等諸法,能令內住一心攝持。譬如燃火,欲令其滅,足其燋炭,彼火則滅。如是,比丘!掉心猶豫,修擇法覺分、精進、喜,則非時,修猗、定、舍覺分,自此則是時,此等諸法內住一心攝持。念覺分者,一切兼助。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七一五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有五蓋、七覺分,有食、無食,我今當說

現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?因為掉舉心生起、掉舉心猶豫,這些法會使它增長。譬如熾熱的火焰,想要讓它熄滅,卻給它新增乾柴,你認為會怎麼樣?難道不會讓火焰更加熾烈燃燒嗎?' 比丘回答佛說:'是的,世尊!' 佛告訴比丘:'像這樣,掉舉心生起、掉舉心猶豫時,如果修習擇法覺支、精進覺支、喜覺支,就會增長掉舉心。諸位比丘!如果微弱的心生起、微弱的猶豫生起,這時應該修習擇法覺支、精進覺支、喜覺支。這是什麼原因呢?因為微弱的心生起、微弱的猶豫生起,用這些法來開示、教導、照亮、歡喜。譬如小火,想要讓它燃燒,就給它新增乾柴。怎麼樣?比丘們!這火難道不會燃燒起來嗎?' 比丘回答佛說:'是的,世尊!' 佛告訴比丘:'像這樣,微弱的心生起、微弱的猶豫生起時,應當在那時修習擇法覺支、精進覺支、喜覺支,來開示、教導、照亮、歡喜。如果掉舉心生起、掉舉心猶豫,就修習猗覺支、定覺支、舍覺支。這是什麼原因呢?因為掉舉心生起、掉舉心猶豫,這些法能使內心安住於一心並攝持。譬如燃燒的火焰,想要讓它熄滅,卻給它新增焦炭,那火焰就會熄滅。像這樣,比丘們!掉舉心猶豫時,修習擇法覺支、精進、喜覺支,就不是時候;修習猗覺支、定覺支、舍覺支,這時才是時候,這些法能使內心安住於一心並攝持。念覺支,則是一切兼顧輔助。' 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (七一五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:'有五蓋、七覺支,有食、無食,我現在要說。'

English version: What is the reason for this? Because when restlessness arises, and when the mind is hesitant, these things cause it to increase. It's like a blazing fire; if you want to extinguish it, but you add dry wood, what do you think will happen? Wouldn't it make the fire burn even more fiercely?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable One!' The Buddha told the monks, 'In the same way, when restlessness arises, and when the mind is hesitant, if you cultivate the investigation-of-dhamma enlightenment factor, the energy enlightenment factor, and the joy enlightenment factor, it will increase the restlessness. Monks! If a weak mind arises, and weak hesitation arises, at that time you should cultivate the investigation-of-dhamma enlightenment factor, the energy enlightenment factor, and the joy enlightenment factor. What is the reason for this? Because when a weak mind arises, and weak hesitation arises, these things are used to show, teach, illuminate, and bring joy. It's like a small fire; if you want it to burn, you add dry wood. What do you think, monks? Wouldn't this fire blaze up?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable One!' The Buddha told the monks, 'In the same way, when a weak mind arises, and weak hesitation arises, at that time you should cultivate the investigation-of-dhamma enlightenment factor, the energy enlightenment factor, and the joy enlightenment factor, to show, teach, illuminate, and bring joy. If restlessness arises, and the mind is hesitant, then cultivate the tranquility enlightenment factor, the concentration enlightenment factor, and the equanimity enlightenment factor. What is the reason for this? Because when restlessness arises, and the mind is hesitant, these things can cause the mind to dwell internally and be held in one-pointedness. It's like a burning fire; if you want to extinguish it, but you add charcoal, the fire will go out. In the same way, monks! When restlessness and hesitation arise, cultivating the investigation-of-dhamma enlightenment factor, energy, and joy is not the right time; cultivating the tranquility enlightenment factor, concentration, and equanimity enlightenment factor, that is the right time, these things can cause the mind to dwell internally and be held in one-pointedness. The mindfulness enlightenment factor is an aid to all.' After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (715) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, 'There are five hindrances and seven enlightenment factors, with food and without food, I will now explain.'


。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。譬如身依食而立,非不食。如是五蓋依于食而立,非不食。貪慾蓋以何為食?謂觸相,于彼不正思惟,未起貪慾令起,已起貪慾能令增廣,是名欲愛蓋之食。

「何等為瞋恚蓋食?謂障礙相,于彼不正思惟,未起瞋恚蓋令起,已起瞋恚蓋能令增廣,是名瞋恚蓋食。

「何等為睡眠蓋食?有五法。何等為五?微弱、不樂、欠呿、多食、懈怠,于彼不正思惟,未起睡眠蓋令起,已起睡眠蓋能令增廣,是名睡眠蓋食。

「何等為疑蓋食?有三世。何等為三?謂過去世、未來世、現在世。於過去世猶豫、未來世猶豫、現在世猶豫,于彼起不正思惟,未起疑蓋令起,已起疑蓋能令增廣,是名疑蓋食。

「譬如身依于食而得長養,非不食。如是七覺分依食而住,依食長養,非不食。

「何等爲念覺分不食?謂四念處不思惟,未起念覺分不起,已起念覺分令退,是名念覺分不食

現代漢語譯本:仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們講述。比如身體依靠食物才能存在,不能沒有食物。同樣,五種障礙也依靠『食物』而存在,不能沒有『食物』。貪慾的障礙以什麼為『食物』呢?是感官接觸的體驗,對這些體驗進行不正確的思考,使得未產生的貪慾產生,已經產生的貪慾更加增長,這就是貪慾障礙的『食物』。 什麼是嗔恚障礙的『食物』呢?是阻礙的體驗,對這些體驗進行不正確的思考,使得未產生的嗔恚產生,已經產生的嗔恚更加增長,這就是嗔恚障礙的『食物』。 什麼是睡眠障礙的『食物』呢?有五種情況。是哪五種呢?是身體虛弱、不快樂、打哈欠、吃得過多、懈怠,對這些情況進行不正確的思考,使得未產生的睡眠障礙產生,已經產生的睡眠障礙更加增長,這就是睡眠障礙的『食物』。 什麼是掉悔障礙的『食物』呢?有四種情況。是哪四種呢?是回憶親屬、回憶人群、回憶天神、回憶過去經歷的娛樂。自己回憶或者他人讓你回憶而產生的感受,對這些感受進行不正確的思考,使得未產生的掉悔產生,已經產生的掉悔更加增長,這就是掉悔障礙的『食物』。 什麼是疑慮障礙的『食物』呢?有三種時間。是哪三種呢?是過去、未來、現在。對過去的事情猶豫不決,對未來的事情猶豫不決,對現在的事情猶豫不決,對這些猶豫不決進行不正確的思考,使得未產生的疑慮產生,已經產生的疑慮更加增長,這就是疑慮障礙的『食物』。 比如身體依靠食物才能生長,不能沒有食物。同樣,七種覺悟的因素也依靠『食物』而存在,依靠『食物』而增長,不能沒有『食物』。 什麼是不滋養正念覺悟因素的『食物』呢?就是不思考四念處,使得未產生的正念覺悟因素不產生,已經產生的正念覺悟因素退失,這就是不滋養正念覺悟因素的『食物』。

English version: Listen carefully, think well, and I will tell you. Just as the body relies on food to exist, it cannot exist without food. Similarly, the five hindrances rely on 'food' to exist, they cannot exist without 'food'. What is the 'food' for the hindrance of craving? It is the experience of sensory contact, and incorrect thinking about these experiences causes unarisen craving to arise, and already arisen craving to increase. This is the 'food' of the hindrance of craving. What is the 'food' for the hindrance of ill-will? It is the experience of obstruction, and incorrect thinking about these experiences causes unarisen ill-will to arise, and already arisen ill-will to increase. This is the 'food' of the hindrance of ill-will. What is the 'food' for the hindrance of sloth and torpor? There are five conditions. What are the five? They are weakness, displeasure, yawning, overeating, and laziness. Incorrect thinking about these conditions causes unarisen sloth and torpor to arise, and already arisen sloth and torpor to increase. This is the 'food' of the hindrance of sloth and torpor. What is the 'food' for the hindrance of restlessness and remorse? There are four conditions. What are the four? They are the recollection of relatives, the recollection of crowds, the recollection of deities, and the recollection of past pleasures. Feelings that arise from one's own recollection or from others causing one to recollect, and incorrect thinking about these feelings causes unarisen restlessness and remorse to arise, and already arisen restlessness and remorse to increase. This is the 'food' of the hindrance of restlessness and remorse. What is the 'food' for the hindrance of doubt? There are three times. What are the three? They are the past, the future, and the present. Hesitation about the past, hesitation about the future, hesitation about the present, and incorrect thinking about these hesitations causes unarisen doubt to arise, and already arisen doubt to increase. This is the 'food' of the hindrance of doubt. Just as the body relies on food to grow, it cannot exist without food. Similarly, the seven factors of enlightenment rely on 'food' to exist, rely on 'food' to grow, and cannot exist without 'food'. What is the 'food' that does not nourish the mindfulness factor of enlightenment? It is not contemplating the four foundations of mindfulness, which causes unarisen mindfulness factor of enlightenment not to arise, and already arisen mindfulness factor of enlightenment to decline. This is the 'food' that does not nourish the mindfulness factor of enlightenment.

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『在內在的法中,我沒有見到一種法,能使未生的惡不善法生起,已生的惡不善法重新生起並增長,未生的善法不生起,已生的善法退失,那就是不正思惟。諸比丘!不正思惟會使未生的貪慾蓋生起,已生的貪慾蓋重新生起並增長;使未生的瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋生起,已生的重新生起並增長;使未生的念覺分不生起,已生的退失;使未生的擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺分不生起,已生的退失。』

『我沒有見到一種法,能使未生的惡不善法不生起,已生的斷除,未生的善法生起,已生的重新生起並增長,那就是正思惟。比丘們!正思惟會使未生的貪慾蓋不生起,已生的斷除;使未生的瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋不生起,已生的斷除;使未生的念覺分生起,已生的重新生起並增長;使未生的擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺分生起,已生的重新生起並增長。』

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(七一七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『在外在的法中,我沒有見到一種法,能使未生的惡不善法生起,已生的重新生起並增長,未生的善法不生起,已生的退失,就像惡知識、惡伴黨一樣。

English version Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and practiced the teachings of the Buddha.

(716)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'Among internal phenomena, I do not see a single phenomenon that causes unarisen evil and unwholesome states to arise, arisen evil and unwholesome states to re-arise and increase, unarisen wholesome states not to arise, and arisen wholesome states to decline. That is wrong thinking. Bhikkhus! Wrong thinking causes unarisen sensual desire to arise, arisen sensual desire to re-arise and increase; it causes unarisen ill-will, sloth and torpor, restlessness and remorse, and doubt to arise, and arisen ones to re-arise and increase; it causes unarisen mindfulness enlightenment factor not to arise, and arisen ones to decline; it causes unarisen investigation of the Dhamma, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity enlightenment factors not to arise, and arisen ones to decline.'

'I do not see a single phenomenon that causes unarisen evil and unwholesome states not to arise, arisen ones to be abandoned, unarisen wholesome states to arise, and arisen ones to re-arise and increase. That is right thinking. Bhikkhus! Right thinking causes unarisen sensual desire not to arise, and arisen ones to be abandoned; it causes unarisen ill-will, sloth and torpor, restlessness and remorse, and doubt not to arise, and arisen ones to be abandoned; it causes unarisen mindfulness enlightenment factor to arise, and arisen ones to re-arise and increase; it causes unarisen investigation of the Dhamma, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity enlightenment factors to arise, and arisen ones to re-arise and increase.'

Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and practiced the teachings of the Buddha.

(717)

Thus have I heard:

Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'Among external phenomena, I do not see a single phenomenon that causes unarisen evil and unwholesome states to arise, arisen ones to re-arise and increase, unarisen wholesome states not to arise, and arisen ones to decline, like bad friends and bad companions.'


。惡知識、惡伴黨者,未生貪慾蓋令生,已生者重生令增廣。未生瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋令生,已生者重生令增廣。未生念覺分令不生,已生者令退,未生擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺分令不生,已生者令退。

「諸比丘!我不見一法,未生惡不善法令不生,已生者令斷,未生善法令生,已生者重生令增廣,所謂善知識、善伴黨、善隨從者,若善知識、善伴黨、善隨從者,未生貪慾蓋令不生,已生者令斷,未生瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋令不生,已生者令斷。未生念覺分令生,已生者重生令增廣,未生擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺分令生,已生者重生令增廣。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七一八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者舍利弗告諸比丘:「有七覺分。何等為七?謂念覺分、擇法覺分、精進覺分、喜覺分、猗覺分、定覺分、舍覺分。此七覺分決定而得,不勤而得,我隨所欲,覺分正受。若晨朝時、日中時、日暮時,若欲正受,隨其所欲,多入正受。譬如王大臣,有種種衣服,置箱簏中,隨其所須,日中所須、日暮所須,隨欲自在。如是,比丘!此七覺分,決定而得,不勤而得,隨意正受

現代漢語譯本:惡劣的知識、惡劣的同伴和黨羽,會使尚未產生的貪慾覆蓋產生,使已經產生的貪慾覆蓋重新產生並使其增長擴大。會使尚未產生的嗔恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋產生,使已經產生的嗔恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋重新產生並使其增長擴大。會使尚未產生的念覺分不產生,使已經產生的念覺分退失,會使尚未產生的擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺分不產生,使已經產生的擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺分退失。 『諸位比丘!我沒有見到一種法,能使尚未產生的惡不善法不產生,使已經產生的惡不善法斷除,使尚未產生的善法產生,使已經產生的善法重新產生並使其增長擴大,那就是善知識、善同伴、善隨從。如果有了善知識、善同伴、善隨從,就能使尚未產生的貪慾覆蓋不產生,使已經產生的貪慾覆蓋斷除,使尚未產生的嗔恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋不產生,使已經產生的嗔恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋斷除。能使尚未產生的念覺分產生,使已經產生的念覺分重新產生並使其增長擴大,能使尚未產生的擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺分產生,使已經產生的擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺分重新產生並使其增長擴大。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (七一八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者舍利弗告訴眾比丘:『有七覺分。哪七種呢?分別是念覺分、擇法覺分、精進覺分、喜覺分、猗覺分、定覺分、舍覺分。這七覺分是確定可以獲得的,不需勤奮就能獲得,我隨心所欲,都能正確地進入覺分的狀態。無論是早晨、中午還是傍晚,如果想要正確地進入覺分的狀態,都能隨心所欲,多次進入這種狀態。』譬如國王的大臣,有各種各樣的衣服,放在箱子里,根據需要,無論是白天需要還是晚上需要,都能隨意取用。『同樣,比丘們!這七覺分,是確定可以獲得的,不需勤奮就能獲得,可以隨意進入這種狀態。』

English version: Bad knowledge, bad companions, and bad followers cause unarisen greed to arise, and cause arisen greed to re-arise and increase. They cause unarisen anger, sleepiness, restlessness, remorse, and doubt to arise, and cause arisen anger, sleepiness, restlessness, remorse, and doubt to re-arise and increase. They cause unarisen mindfulness enlightenment factor not to arise, and cause arisen mindfulness enlightenment factor to decline. They cause unarisen investigation of the Dhamma, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity enlightenment factors not to arise, and cause arisen investigation of the Dhamma, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity enlightenment factors to decline. 'Monks, I do not see a single thing that causes unarisen evil and unwholesome states not to arise, causes arisen evil and unwholesome states to be abandoned, causes unarisen wholesome states to arise, and causes arisen wholesome states to re-arise and increase, like good knowledge, good companions, and good followers. If there are good knowledge, good companions, and good followers, they cause unarisen greed to not arise, and cause arisen greed to be abandoned. They cause unarisen anger, sleepiness, restlessness, remorse, and doubt to not arise, and cause arisen anger, sleepiness, restlessness, remorse, and doubt to be abandoned. They cause unarisen mindfulness enlightenment factor to arise, and cause arisen mindfulness enlightenment factor to re-arise and increase. They cause unarisen investigation of the Dhamma, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity enlightenment factors to arise, and cause arisen investigation of the Dhamma, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity enlightenment factors to re-arise and increase.' After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (718) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, Venerable Sariputta addressed the monks: 'There are seven factors of enlightenment. What are the seven? They are the mindfulness enlightenment factor, the investigation of the Dhamma enlightenment factor, the energy enlightenment factor, the joy enlightenment factor, the tranquility enlightenment factor, the concentration enlightenment factor, and the equanimity enlightenment factor. These seven factors of enlightenment are definitely attainable, attainable without effort, and I can enter into the factors of enlightenment at will. Whether it is in the morning, at noon, or in the evening, if I wish to enter into the factors of enlightenment, I can do so at will, entering into them many times. Just as a king's minister has various kinds of clothes, placed in chests, and according to need, whether needed during the day or at night, he can use them at will. Similarly, monks, these seven factors of enlightenment are definitely attainable, attainable without effort, and one can enter into them at will.'


。我此念覺分,清凈純白,起時知起,滅時知滅,沒時知沒,已起知已起,已滅知已滅,如是擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺分亦如是說。」

尊者舍利弗說此經已,諸比丘聞其所說,歡喜奉行。

(七一九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住巴連弗邑。爾時,尊者優波摩、尊者阿提目多住巴連弗邑雞林精舍。

爾時,尊者阿提目多晡時從禪覺,詣尊者優波摩所,共相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,問尊者優波摩:「尊者!能知七覺分方便,如是樂住正受,如是苦住正受?」

優波摩答言:「尊者阿提目多!比丘善知方便修七覺分,如是樂住正受,如是苦住正受。」

復問:「云何比丘善知方便修七覺分?」

優波摩答言:「比丘方便修念覺分時知思惟:『彼心不善解脫,不害睡眠,不善調伏掉悔,不害睡眠,如我念覺處法思惟,精進方便,不得平等。』如是擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺分,亦如是說。若比丘念覺分方便時先思惟:『心善解脫,正害睡眠,調伏掉悔,如我於此念覺處法思惟已,不勤方便,而得平等。』如是。阿提目多!比丘知方便修七覺分,如是樂住正受,如是不樂住正受。」

時,二正士共論義已,各從座起而去

現代漢語譯本:我的這個念覺支,清凈純白,生起時知道它生起,滅去時知道它滅去,消失時知道它消失,已經生起知道它已經生起,已經滅去知道它已經滅去,像這樣,對於擇法、精進、喜、輕安、定、舍覺支,也應當這樣說。 尊者舍利弗說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了他所說的,都歡喜地奉行。 (七一九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在巴連弗邑。當時,尊者優波摩和尊者阿提目多住在巴連弗邑的雞林精舍。 那時,尊者阿提目多在下午從禪定中醒來,前往尊者優波摩的住所,互相問候慰問之後,退坐在一旁,問尊者優波摩:『尊者,您能知道修習七覺支的方法,從而能夠安樂地住于正受,或者苦惱地住于正受嗎?』 優波摩回答說:『尊者阿提目多,比丘善於知道修習七覺支的方法,從而能夠安樂地住于正受,或者苦惱地住于正受。』 阿提目多又問:『比丘如何善於知道修習七覺支的方法呢?』 優波摩回答說:『比丘在修習念覺支時,會思考:『這個心沒有得到很好的解脫,不能克服昏睡,不能很好地調伏掉舉和後悔,不能克服昏睡,如果我對於念覺支的法進行思考,精進努力,就不能達到平等。』對於擇法、精進、喜、輕安、定、舍覺支,也應當這樣說。如果比丘在修習念覺支時,先思考:『心已經得到很好的解脫,能夠克服昏睡,調伏掉舉和後悔,如果我對於這個念覺支的法進行思考,不用勤奮努力,就能達到平等。』就是這樣。阿提目多,比丘知道修習七覺支的方法,從而能夠安樂地住于正受,或者不能安樂地住于正受。』 當時,這兩位正士討論完這些道理后,各自從座位上起身離開了。

English version: 'My mindfulness enlightenment factor is pure and white. When it arises, I know it arises; when it ceases, I know it ceases; when it disappears, I know it disappears; when it has arisen, I know it has arisen; when it has ceased, I know it has ceased. Likewise, the enlightenment factors of investigation of the Dhamma, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity should also be spoken of in this way.' After Venerable Sariputta had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and practiced accordingly. (719) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Pataliputta. At that time, Venerable Upama and Venerable Atimutta were dwelling in the Cock Grove Monastery in Pataliputta. Then, Venerable Atimutta, having arisen from meditation in the afternoon, went to Venerable Upama, and after exchanging greetings and courtesies, sat down to one side and asked Venerable Upama: 'Venerable, are you able to know the means for the seven enlightenment factors, such that one can dwell in pleasant feeling with right concentration, or dwell in painful feeling with right concentration?' Upama replied: 'Venerable Atimutta, a bhikkhu who knows well the means for cultivating the seven enlightenment factors can dwell in pleasant feeling with right concentration, or dwell in painful feeling with right concentration.' He asked again: 'How does a bhikkhu know well the means for cultivating the seven enlightenment factors?' Upama replied: 'When a bhikkhu cultivates the mindfulness enlightenment factor, he reflects: 『This mind is not well liberated, it does not overcome drowsiness, it does not well subdue restlessness and remorse, it does not overcome drowsiness. If I reflect on the Dhamma of the mindfulness enlightenment factor, and exert effort, I will not attain equanimity.』 The same should be said for the enlightenment factors of investigation of the Dhamma, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity. If a bhikkhu, when cultivating the mindfulness enlightenment factor, first reflects: 『The mind is well liberated, it overcomes drowsiness, it subdues restlessness and remorse. If I reflect on the Dhamma of this mindfulness enlightenment factor, without exerting effort, I will attain equanimity.』 Thus, Atimutta, a bhikkhu knows the means for cultivating the seven enlightenment factors, and can dwell in pleasant feeling with right concentration, or not dwell in pleasant feeling with right concentration.' Then, these two noble ones, having discussed these matters, each rose from their seats and departed.


(七二〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。爾時,尊者阿那律亦住舍衛國松林精舍。

時,有眾多比丘詣阿那律所,共相問訊慰勞,問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,語尊者阿那律:「尊者知方便修七覺分時生樂住不?」

尊者阿那律語諸比丘言:「我知比丘方便修七覺分時生樂住。」

諸比丘問尊者阿那律:「云何知比丘方便修七覺分時生樂住?」

尊者阿那律語諸比丘:「比丘方便修念覺分,善知思惟,我心善解脫,善害睡眠,善調伏掉悔。如此念覺分處法思惟已,精勤方便,心不懈怠,身猗息不動亂,繫心令住,不起亂念,一心正受。如是擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺分亦如是說,是名知比丘方便修七覺分時生樂住。」

時,眾多比丘聞尊者阿那律所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起而去。

(七二一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「轉輪聖王出世之時,有七寶現於世間,金輪寶、象寶、馬寶、神珠寶、玉女寶、主藏臣寶、主兵臣寶

現代漢語譯本 (七二〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,尊者阿那律也住在舍衛國的松林精舍。 當時,有許多比丘前往阿那律的住所,互相問候慰問,問候慰問完畢后,退坐在一旁,對尊者阿那律說:『尊者知道如何方便地修習七覺支,從而產生安樂的住處嗎?』 尊者阿那律對眾比丘說:『我知道比丘如何方便地修習七覺支,從而產生安樂的住處。』 眾比丘問尊者阿那律:『如何知道比丘方便地修習七覺支,從而產生安樂的住處呢?』 尊者阿那律對眾比丘說:『比丘方便地修習念覺支,善於思考,我的心得到很好的解脫,很好地克服了睡眠,很好地調伏了掉舉和後悔。像這樣對念覺支所處的法進行思考後,精勤方便,心不懈怠,身體平靜安穩不躁動,繫心使之安住,不起雜亂的念頭,一心正受。像這樣,擇法覺支、精進覺支、喜覺支、猗覺支、定覺支、舍覺支也像這樣說,這就叫做知道比丘方便地修習七覺支,從而產生安樂的住處。』 當時,眾多比丘聽了尊者阿那律所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位上起身離去。 (七二一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『轉輪聖王出現於世的時候,有七寶會顯現於世間,分別是金輪寶、象寶、馬寶、神珠寶、玉女寶、主藏臣寶、主兵臣寶。』

English version (720) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the venerable Anuruddha was also dwelling in the Pine Forest Monastery in Shravasti. Then, many monks went to where Anuruddha was, exchanged greetings and pleasantries with him, and after the greetings and pleasantries, sat down to one side and said to the venerable Anuruddha: 'Venerable one, do you know how to skillfully cultivate the seven factors of enlightenment so as to abide in happiness?' The venerable Anuruddha said to the monks: 'I know how a monk skillfully cultivates the seven factors of enlightenment so as to abide in happiness.' The monks asked the venerable Anuruddha: 'How does one know that a monk skillfully cultivates the seven factors of enlightenment so as to abide in happiness?' The venerable Anuruddha said to the monks: 'A monk skillfully cultivates the mindfulness factor of enlightenment, is skilled in contemplation, my mind is well liberated, has well overcome sleep, and has well subdued restlessness and remorse. Having contemplated the dharma where the mindfulness factor of enlightenment is situated, he is diligent and skillful, his mind is not lazy, his body is tranquil and not agitated, he focuses his mind to abide, not arising with scattered thoughts, and is single-mindedly absorbed. In the same way, the investigation-of-dharma factor of enlightenment, the energy factor of enlightenment, the joy factor of enlightenment, the tranquility factor of enlightenment, the concentration factor of enlightenment, and the equanimity factor of enlightenment are also described, this is called knowing how a monk skillfully cultivates the seven factors of enlightenment so as to abide in happiness.' Then, many monks, having heard what the venerable Anuruddha said, rejoiced and were pleased, and rose from their seats and departed. (721) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, the Blessed One said to the monks: 'When a Wheel-Turning Monarch appears in the world, seven treasures appear in the world: the golden wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the treasurer treasure, and the military advisor treasure.'


。如是,如來出世,亦有七覺分寶現,齋戒處樓觀上,大臣圍繞,有金輪寶從東方出,輪有千輻,齊轂圓輞,輪相具足,有此吉瑞,必是轉輪聖王,我今決定為轉輪王。即以兩手承金輪寶,著左手中,右手旋轉,而說是言:『若是轉輪聖王金輪寶者,當復轉輪聖王古道而去。』於是輪寶即發,王蕃前隨,而於東方乘虛而逝,向于東方,游古聖王正直之道。王隨輪寶,四兵亦從,若所至方,輪寶住者,王于彼住,四兵亦住。東方諸國處處小王,見聖王來,悉皆歸伏。

「如來出興於世,有七覺分現於世間,所謂念覺分、擇法覺分、精進覺分、喜覺分、猗覺分、定覺分、舍覺分。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七二二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「轉輪聖王出於世時,有七寶現於世間。云何轉輪聖王出於世時,金輪寶現有?時,剎利灌頂聖王,月十五日,沐浴清凈,受持齋戒,于樓閣上,大臣圍繞。有金輪寶從東方出,輪有千輻,齊轂圓輞,輪相具足,天真金寶。古昔傳聞,剎利灌頂大王月十五日布薩時,沐浴清凈,受持福善。善來大王,此是王國,此國安隱,人民豐樂,愿于中止,教化國人,我則隨從

『如果這樣,如來出世,也會有七覺分寶出現,在齋戒的樓閣上,大臣們環繞著。這時,會有金輪寶從東方出現,輪子有一千個輻條,輪轂和輪輞整齊圓滿,輪子的形狀完整。出現這種吉祥的徵兆,必定是轉輪聖王。我現在可以確定自己是轉輪聖王。』於是,他用雙手捧起金輪寶,放在左手中,用右手旋轉,並說道:『如果是轉輪聖王的金輪寶,就應當沿著轉輪聖王過去的道路前進。』於是,輪寶就出發了,國王在前面跟隨,向東方騰空而去,沿著古代聖王正直的道路前進。國王跟隨輪寶,四種軍隊也跟隨。輪寶停在哪個地方,國王就住在那裡,四種軍隊也住在那裡。東方各國的國王們,看到聖王到來,都歸順臣服。 『如來出現在世間,會有七覺分在世間顯現,即念覺分、擇法覺分、精進覺分、喜覺分、猗覺分、定覺分、舍覺分。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (七二二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『轉輪聖王出現於世時,會有七寶出現於世間。轉輪聖王出現於世時,金輪寶是如何出現的呢?當時,剎帝利灌頂聖王在每月十五日,沐浴清凈,受持齋戒,在樓閣上,大臣們環繞著。這時,會有金輪寶從東方出現,輪子有一千個輻條,輪轂和輪輞整齊圓滿,輪子的形狀完整,是天然的金寶。古老的傳說中,剎帝利灌頂大王在每月十五日布薩時,沐浴清凈,受持福善。』『善哉大王,這裡是王國,這個國家安穩,人民富足快樂,希望您在這裡停留,教化國人,我等將跟隨您。』

'If so, when the Tathagata appears in the world, the seven factors of enlightenment will also appear. In the pavilion where fasting is observed, ministers will be surrounding. At that time, a golden wheel treasure will emerge from the east. The wheel will have a thousand spokes, with the hub and rim perfectly round and complete. With such an auspicious sign, it must be a Chakravartin King. I am now certain that I am a Chakravartin King.' Then, he held the golden wheel treasure with both hands, placed it in his left hand, and rotated it with his right hand, saying: 'If this is the golden wheel treasure of a Chakravartin King, it should follow the ancient path of the Chakravartin Kings.' Thereupon, the wheel treasure set off, with the king following in front, and it ascended into the air towards the east, following the righteous path of the ancient sage kings. The king followed the wheel treasure, and the four divisions of the army also followed. Wherever the wheel treasure stopped, the king would reside there, and the four divisions of the army would also reside there. The kings of the various countries in the east, upon seeing the arrival of the sage king, all submitted and surrendered. 'When the Tathagata appears in the world, the seven factors of enlightenment will manifest in the world, namely, the enlightenment factor of mindfulness, the enlightenment factor of investigation of the Dharma, the enlightenment factor of energy, the enlightenment factor of joy, the enlightenment factor of tranquility, the enlightenment factor of concentration, and the enlightenment factor of equanimity.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (722) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'When a Chakravartin King appears in the world, seven treasures will appear in the world. How does the golden wheel treasure appear when a Chakravartin King appears in the world? At that time, a Kshatriya consecrated king, on the fifteenth day of the month, having bathed and purified himself, observing the fast, would be on a pavilion, surrounded by ministers. Then, a golden wheel treasure would emerge from the east, the wheel having a thousand spokes, with the hub and rim perfectly round and complete, a natural golden treasure. In ancient legends, when a Kshatriya consecrated king observed the Uposatha on the fifteenth day of the month, he would bathe and purify himself, and observe meritorious deeds.' 'Well done, Great King, this is the kingdom, this country is peaceful, and the people are prosperous and happy. We hope that you will stay here and teach the people, and we will follow you.'


。聖王答言:『諸聚落主!汝今但當善化國人,有不順者,當來白我,當如法化,莫作非法,亦令國人善化非法,若如是者,則從我化。』於是聖王從東海度,乘古聖王道,至於南海;至於南海,度于南海,至西海;乘于古昔聖王之道,度于西海,至於北海。南、西、北方諸小國王奉迎啟請,亦如東方廣說。於是金輪寶,聖王隨從,度于北海,還至王宮正治殿上,住虛空中,是為轉輪聖王出興於世,金輪寶現於世間。

「云何為轉輪聖王出興於世,白象寶現於世間?若剎利灌頂大王純色之象,其色鮮好,七支拄地,聖王見已,心則欣悅,今此寶象,來應於我,告善調象師,令速調此寶象,調已送來。像師受命,不盈一日,像即調伏,一切調伏相悉皆具足,猶如余象經年調者,今此象寶一日調伏亦復如是。調已送詣王所,上白大王:『此像已調,唯王自知時。』爾時,聖王觀察此象調相已備,即乘寶象,于晨旦時周行四海,至日中時還歸王宮,是名轉輪聖王出興於世,如此象寶現於世間。

「何等為轉輪聖王出興於世,馬寶現於世間?轉輪聖王所有馬寶純一青色,烏頭澤尾,聖王見馬,心生欣悅,今此神馬來應我故,付調馬師,令速調之,調已送來

現代漢語譯本:聖王回答說:『各位聚落的首領!你們現在只需好好教化你們的國民,如果有不順從的,就來告訴我,我會依法教化他們,不要做非法的事情,也要讓國民好好地改正非法行為,如果能這樣,就是聽從我的教化。』於是聖王從東海出發,沿著古代聖王的道路,到達南海;到達南海后,渡過南海,到達西海;沿著古代聖王的道路,渡過西海,到達北海。南方、西方、北方的小國王們都前來迎接並請求歸附,情況和東方的情況大致相同。於是金輪寶,聖王跟隨它,渡過北海,回到王宮的正治殿上,停留在虛空中,這就是轉輪聖王出現於世,金輪寶顯現於世間。 『什麼是轉輪聖王出現於世,白象寶顯現於世間呢?如果剎帝利灌頂大王擁有一頭純色的象,顏色鮮艷美好,七個部位都著地,聖王看到后,心中非常高興,認為這頭寶像是來應和自己的,就告訴善於調象的馴象師,讓他儘快調教這頭寶象,調教好後送來。馴象師接受命令,不到一天,這頭象就被調教馴服了,一切調伏的特徵都具備了,就像其他像需要經過多年調教一樣,而這頭象寶一天就調教好了。調教好後送到國王那裡,稟告大王:『這頭像已經調教好了,請大王自行決定何時使用。』這時,聖王觀察這頭象的調教情況已經完備,就騎上寶象,在早晨時分巡視四海,到中午時分回到王宮,這就是轉輪聖王出現於世,這樣的象寶顯現於世間。 『什麼是轉輪聖王出現於世,馬寶顯現於世間呢?轉輪聖王擁有的馬寶是純一的青色,頭是烏黑的,尾巴光澤,聖王看到這匹馬,心中非常高興,認為這匹神馬是來應和自己的,就交給馴馬師,讓他儘快調教它,調教好後送來。

English version: The holy king replied, 『Leaders of the settlements! You should now focus on educating your people well. If there are any who do not obey, they should come and report to me. I will educate them according to the law. Do not do anything unlawful, and also guide your people to correct their unlawful behavior. If you do this, you are following my teachings.』 Then, the holy king departed from the East Sea, following the path of the ancient holy kings, and reached the South Sea. Upon reaching the South Sea, he crossed it and arrived at the West Sea. Following the path of the ancient holy kings, he crossed the West Sea and reached the North Sea. The small kings of the South, West, and North came to welcome him and requested to submit, similar to what happened in the East. Then, the golden wheel treasure, with the holy king following it, crossed the North Sea and returned to the main hall of the palace, hovering in the air. This is the appearance of the Chakravartin king in the world, and the manifestation of the golden wheel treasure. 『What is the appearance of the Chakravartin king in the world, and the manifestation of the white elephant treasure? If a Kshatriya king has a pure-colored elephant, with a bright and beautiful color, and its seven limbs touching the ground, the holy king, upon seeing it, will be very pleased, thinking that this treasure elephant has come to respond to him. He will then tell the skilled elephant trainer to quickly train this treasure elephant and send it to him after it is trained. The trainer, upon receiving the order, will have the elephant trained and subdued in less than a day. All the signs of training will be complete, just as other elephants are trained over many years. This treasure elephant is trained in one day. After it is trained, it is sent to the king, and the trainer reports to the king, 『This elephant is trained, it is up to the king to decide when to use it.』 At that time, the holy king, observing that the elephant is fully trained, will ride the treasure elephant and tour the four seas in the morning, returning to the palace by noon. This is the appearance of the Chakravartin king in the world, and the manifestation of such an elephant treasure. 『What is the appearance of the Chakravartin king in the world, and the manifestation of the horse treasure? The horse treasure of the Chakravartin king is of a pure blue color, with a black head and a glossy tail. The holy king, upon seeing the horse, will be very pleased, thinking that this divine horse has come to respond to him. He will then hand it over to the horse trainer, telling him to quickly train it and send it to him after it is trained.』


。馬師奉教,不盈一日,其馬即調,猶如余馬經年調者,馬寶調伏亦復如是。知馬調已,還送奉王,白言:『大王!此馬已調。』爾時,聖王觀察寶馬調相已備,于晨旦時乘此寶馬周行四海,至日中時還歸王宮,是名轉輪聖王出興於世,馬寶現於世間。

「何等為轉輪聖王出興於世,摩尼珠寶現於世間?若轉輪聖王所有寶珠,其形八楞,光澤明照,無諸類隙,于王宮內,常為燈明。轉輪聖王察試寶珠,陰雨之夜,將四種兵入于園林,持珠前導,光明照耀,面一由旬,是為轉輪聖王出興於世,摩尼寶珠現於世間。

「何等為轉輪聖王出興於世,賢玉女寶現於世間?轉輪聖王所有玉女,不黑不白、不長不短、不粗不細、不肥不瘦,支體端正,寒時體暖、熱時體涼,身體柔軟如迦陵伽衣,身諸毛孔,出栴檀香,口鼻出息,作優缽羅香。后臥先起,瞻王意色,隨宜奉事,軟言愛語,端心正念,發王道意,心無違越,況復身、口,是為轉輪聖王寶女。

「云何為轉輪聖王主藏臣寶現於世間?謂轉輪聖王主藏大臣本行施故,生得天眼,能見伏藏,有主無主、若水若陸、若遠若近,悉能見之,轉輪聖王須珍寶,即便告敕,隨王所須,輒以奉上

現代漢語譯本:馬師接受教導,不到一天,那馬就被馴服了,就像別的馬經過多年馴服一樣,馬寶的馴服也是如此。知道馬已經馴服后,就送還給國王,稟告說:『大王!這馬已經馴服了。』那時,聖王觀察寶馬馴服的相貌已經完備,在早晨時乘坐這寶馬周遊四海,到中午時返回王宮,這就是轉輪聖王出現於世,馬寶顯現於世間。 現代漢語譯本:『什麼叫做轉輪聖王出現於世,摩尼珠寶顯現於世間?如果轉輪聖王所有的寶珠,它的形狀是八個棱角,光澤明亮,沒有各種瑕疵,在王宮內,常常作為燈光照明。轉輪聖王檢驗寶珠,在陰雨的夜晚,帶領四種軍隊進入園林,拿著寶珠在前面引導,光明照耀,覆蓋一由旬的範圍,這就是轉輪聖王出現於世,摩尼寶珠顯現於世間。』 現代漢語譯本:『什麼叫做轉輪聖王出現於世,賢玉女寶顯現於世間?轉輪聖王所有的玉女,不黑不白、不長不短、不粗不細、不肥不瘦,肢體端正,寒冷時身體溫暖、炎熱時身體涼爽,身體柔軟像迦陵伽衣,身上的毛孔,散發出栴檀香,口鼻呼出的氣息,散發出優缽羅香。她總是后睡先起,觀察國王的臉色,隨時侍奉,輕聲細語,溫柔愛語,心思端正,念頭純正,啓發國王的治國之道,心中沒有違背,更何況是身、口,這就是轉輪聖王的寶女。』 現代漢語譯本:『什麼叫做轉輪聖王主藏臣寶顯現於世間?就是轉輪聖王的主藏大臣因為前世的佈施行為,生來就具有天眼,能夠看見隱藏的寶藏,無論是有主的還是無主的,無論是水裡的還是陸地的,無論是遠的還是近的,都能夠看見。轉輪聖王需要珍寶,就下令,大臣就按照國王所需要的,立即奉上。』

English version: The horse trainer, upon receiving instruction, in less than a day, had the horse trained, just as other horses are trained over years. The taming of the horse treasure was also like this. Knowing the horse was trained, he returned it to the king, reporting, 'Your Majesty! This horse is trained.' At that time, the holy king, observing that the horse treasure's trained appearance was complete, in the morning rode this horse treasure around the four seas, returning to the palace by noon. This is called the appearance of the Wheel-Turning Holy King in the world, and the manifestation of the horse treasure in the world. English version: 'What is meant by the Wheel-Turning Holy King appearing in the world, and the manifestation of the Mani jewel in the world? If the Wheel-Turning Holy King possesses a jewel, its shape is eight-sided, its luster is bright, without any flaws, and within the palace, it constantly serves as a light. The Wheel-Turning Holy King tests the jewel, and on a rainy night, leads the four kinds of troops into the garden, holding the jewel in front to guide them, its light shining, covering a yojana in area. This is the appearance of the Wheel-Turning Holy King in the world, and the manifestation of the Mani jewel in the world.' English version: 'What is meant by the Wheel-Turning Holy King appearing in the world, and the manifestation of the virtuous jade maiden treasure in the world? The jade maiden of the Wheel-Turning Holy King is neither black nor white, neither tall nor short, neither coarse nor fine, neither fat nor thin, her limbs are well-proportioned, her body is warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather, her body is as soft as a Kalinga garment, the pores of her body emit sandalwood fragrance, and the breath from her mouth and nose emits the fragrance of the blue lotus. She always goes to bed later and rises earlier, observing the king's expression, serving him at all times, speaking softly and lovingly, with a sincere heart and righteous thoughts, inspiring the king's path of governance, and never deviating in her heart, let alone in her body and speech. This is the treasure maiden of the Wheel-Turning Holy King.' English version: 'What is meant by the Wheel-Turning Holy King's chief treasurer treasure appearing in the world? It refers to the chief treasurer of the Wheel-Turning Holy King, who, due to his past acts of giving, is born with divine eyes, able to see hidden treasures, whether they are owned or unowned, whether in water or on land, whether far or near, he can see them all. When the Wheel-Turning Holy King needs treasures, he gives an order, and the minister immediately offers them according to the king's needs.'


。於是聖王有時試彼大臣,觀其所能,乘船游海,告彼大臣:『我須寶物。』臣白王言:『小住岸邊,當以奉上。』王告彼臣:『我今不須岸邊之寶,且盡與我。』於是大臣即於水中出四金甕,金寶滿中,以奉聖王,王所須即取用之,若取足已,余則還歸水中。聖王出世,則有如此主藏之臣現於世間。

「云何聖王出興於世,有主兵之臣現於世間?謂有主兵臣聰明智辯。譬如世間善思量成就者,聖王所宜,彼則悉從,宜去、宜住、宜出、宜入。聖王四種兵行,道里頓止,不令疲倦,悉知聖王宜所應作,現法後世功德之事,以白聖王。轉輪聖王出興於世,有如是主兵之臣。

「如是如來、應、等正覺出興於世,有七覺分現於世間。何等為七?謂念覺分、擇法覺分、精進覺分、喜覺分、猗覺分、定覺分、舍覺分。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七二三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「善哉!比丘!僧人聞法,諸年少比丘供養奉事諸尊長老。所以者何?年少比丘供養奉事長老比丘者,時時得聞深妙之法,聞深法已,二正事成就,身正及心正

現代漢語譯本:於是聖王有時會考驗他的大臣,觀察他們的能力。他會乘船出海,告訴大臣:『我需要寶物。』大臣會稟告國王:『請在岸邊稍作停留,我當奉上寶物。』國王會告訴大臣:『我現在不需要岸邊的寶物,你把所有的都給我。』於是大臣就會從水中取出四個裝滿金銀珠寶的金甕,獻給聖王。聖王需要什麼就從中取用,取用足夠后,剩餘的就放回水中。聖王出世,就會有這樣掌管寶藏的大臣出現在世間。 現代漢語譯本:『聖王如何出世,會有掌管兵權的大臣出現在世間呢?』這是指有掌管兵權的大臣聰明機智,善於辯論。就像世間善於思考和成就事業的人一樣,聖王所適宜的,他們都會遵從,該去、該留、該出、該入,都會安排妥當。聖王率領四種軍隊行進,道路上的停頓和休息,都不會讓士兵感到疲憊。他們完全瞭解聖王應該做什麼,以及對今生和來世有功德的事情,都會稟告聖王。轉輪聖王出世,就會有這樣掌管兵權的大臣。 現代漢語譯本:『同樣,如來、應供、正等覺出世,會有七覺支出現在世間。』哪七種呢?就是念覺支、擇法覺支、精進覺支、喜覺支、猗覺支、定覺支、舍覺支。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 現代漢語譯本:(七二三) 現代漢語譯本:我是這樣聽說的: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 現代漢語譯本:當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『太好了!比丘們!僧團中,年輕的比丘能夠供養和侍奉各位尊貴的長老。這是為什麼呢?因為年輕的比丘供養和侍奉長老比丘,就能時常聽到深奧微妙的佛法。聽聞深奧的佛法后,就能成就兩種正事,即身正和心正。』

English version: Then, the holy king would sometimes test his ministers, observing their abilities. He would sail out to sea and tell his ministers, 'I need treasures.' The ministers would report to the king, 'Please wait a moment on the shore, and I will present them to you.' The king would tell his ministers, 'I do not need treasures from the shore now; give me all of them.' Then the ministers would take out four golden urns filled with gold and jewels from the water and offer them to the holy king. The holy king would take what he needed from them, and after taking enough, the rest would be returned to the water. When a holy king appears in the world, such a minister who manages treasures will appear in the world. English version: 'How does a holy king appear in the world, and a minister who manages the military appear in the world?' This refers to a minister who manages the military who is intelligent, wise, and eloquent. Like those in the world who are good at thinking and accomplishing things, they would follow whatever is suitable for the holy king, whether to go, stay, go out, or enter, they would arrange it properly. When the holy king leads the four kinds of troops, the stops and rests on the road would not make the soldiers feel tired. They would fully understand what the holy king should do, and they would report to the holy king about things that are meritorious for this life and the next. When a wheel-turning holy king appears in the world, there will be such a minister who manages the military. English version: 'Similarly, when a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Fully Enlightened One appears in the world, the seven factors of enlightenment appear in the world.' What are the seven? They are the mindfulness enlightenment factor, the investigation of dharma enlightenment factor, the effort enlightenment factor, the joy enlightenment factor, the tranquility enlightenment factor, the concentration enlightenment factor, and the equanimity enlightenment factor.' English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. English version: (723) English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'Excellent! Monks! In the Sangha, the young monks are able to offer and serve the venerable elders. Why is this so? Because when young monks offer and serve the elder monks, they can often hear the profound and subtle Dharma. After hearing the profound Dharma, they can accomplish two righteous things, that is, righteousness of body and righteousness of mind.'


。爾時修念覺分,修念覺分已,念覺分滿足;念覺滿足已,於法選擇,分別於法,思量於法。爾時,方便修擇法覺分,乃至舍覺分修習滿足。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七二四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘持戒、修德、慚、愧,成真實法,見此人者,多得果報。若復聞者,若隨憶念者、隨出家者,多得功德,況復親近恭敬奉事。所以者何?親近奉事如是人者,時時得聞深妙之法;得聞深法已,成就二正,身正及心正,方便修習定覺分;修習已,修習滿足,乃至舍覺分修習滿足。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七二五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「說不善積聚者,所謂五蓋,是為正說。所以者何?純一不善聚者,謂五蓋故。何等為五?謂貪慾蓋、瞋恚蓋、睡眠蓋、掉悔蓋、疑蓋。說善積聚者,謂七覺分,是為正說。所以者何?純一滿凈者,是七覺分故。何等為七?謂念覺分、擇法覺分、精進覺分、喜覺分、猗覺分、定覺分、舍覺分。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:那時,修習念覺分,修習念覺分后,念覺分就圓滿了;念覺分圓滿后,就對法進行選擇,分辨法,思考法。那時,方便修習擇法覺分,乃至舍覺分修習圓滿。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (七二四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘持戒、修德、有慚愧心,成就真實之法,見到這樣的人,會得到很多果報。如果聽到他的教誨,或者隨之憶念,或者隨他出家,都會得到很多功德,更何況是親近恭敬地侍奉他。為什麼呢?因為親近侍奉這樣的人,時常能聽到深奧微妙的佛法;聽到深奧的佛法后,就能成就身心端正,方便修習定覺分;修習后,就能修習圓滿,乃至舍覺分修習圓滿。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (七二五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『說不善的積聚,就是指五蓋,這是正確的說法。為什麼呢?因為純粹的不善積聚,就是指五蓋。哪五種呢?就是貪慾蓋、瞋恚蓋、睡眠蓋、掉悔蓋、疑蓋。說善的積聚,就是指七覺分,這是正確的說法。為什麼呢?因為純粹圓滿清凈的,就是七覺分。哪七種呢?就是念覺分、擇法覺分、精進覺分、喜覺分、猗覺分、定覺分、舍覺分。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version: At that time, one cultivates the mindfulness enlightenment factor; having cultivated the mindfulness enlightenment factor, the mindfulness enlightenment factor is fulfilled; having fulfilled the mindfulness enlightenment factor, one chooses the Dharma, distinguishes the Dharma, and contemplates the Dharma. At that time, one conveniently cultivates the investigation of Dharma enlightenment factor, and so on, until the equanimity enlightenment factor is cultivated to fulfillment. After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (724) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'If a monk upholds the precepts, cultivates virtue, has shame and remorse, and achieves the true Dharma, seeing such a person will bring much reward. If one hears his teachings, or remembers him, or follows him into homelessness, one will gain much merit, how much more so if one draws near, respects, and serves him. Why is that? Because drawing near and serving such a person, one will often hear the profound and subtle Dharma; having heard the profound Dharma, one will achieve two kinds of rightness, rightness of body and rightness of mind, and conveniently cultivate the concentration enlightenment factor; having cultivated it, one will cultivate it to fulfillment, and so on, until the equanimity enlightenment factor is cultivated to fulfillment.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (725) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'To speak of the accumulation of unwholesome things, that is, the five hindrances, is a correct statement. Why is that? Because the purely unwholesome accumulation is the five hindrances. What are the five? They are the hindrance of sensual desire, the hindrance of ill-will, the hindrance of sloth and torpor, the hindrance of restlessness and remorse, and the hindrance of doubt. To speak of the accumulation of wholesome things, that is, the seven enlightenment factors, is a correct statement. Why is that? Because the purely complete and pure things are the seven enlightenment factors. What are the seven? They are the mindfulness enlightenment factor, the investigation of Dharma enlightenment factor, the energy enlightenment factor, the joy enlightenment factor, the tranquility enlightenment factor, the concentration enlightenment factor, and the equanimity enlightenment factor.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.


(七二六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城夾谷精舍。爾時,尊者阿難亦在彼住。

時,尊者阿難獨一靜處禪思思惟,作如是念:「半梵行者,所謂善知識、善伴黨、善隨從,非惡知識、惡伴黨、惡隨從。」

時,尊者阿難從禪覺,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我獨一靜處禪思思惟,作是念:『半梵行者,所謂善知識、善伴黨、善隨從,非惡知識、惡伴黨、惡隨從。』」

佛告阿難:「莫作是言:『半梵行者,謂善知識、善伴黨、善隨從,非惡知識、惡伴黨、惡隨從。』所以者何?純一滿靜,梵行清白,所謂善知識、善伴黨、善隨從,非惡知識、惡伴黨、惡隨從。我為善知識故,有眾生於我所取念覺分,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍。如是擇法覺分,精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺分,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍。以是故當知,阿難!純一滿靜,梵行清白,謂善知識、善伴黨、善隨從,非惡知識、非惡伴黨、非惡隨從。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本: (七二六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的夾谷精舍。當時,尊者阿難也住在那裡。 那時,尊者阿難獨自一人在安靜的地方禪思,心中思惟:『修行的一半在於善知識、善伴侶、善隨從,而不是惡知識、惡伴侶、惡隨從。』 這時,尊者阿難從禪定中醒來,前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!我獨自一人在安靜的地方禪思,心中思惟:『修行的一半在於善知識、善伴侶、善隨從,而不是惡知識、惡伴侶、惡隨從。』』 佛陀告訴阿難:『不要這樣說:『修行的一半在於善知識、善伴侶、善隨從,而不是惡知識、惡伴侶、惡隨從。』為什麼呢?完全圓滿、清凈的梵行,才是善知識、善伴侶、善隨從,而不是惡知識、惡伴侶、惡隨從。我作為善知識,所以有眾生從我這裡領悟到念覺支,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、趨向于舍。同樣,擇法覺支、精進覺支、喜覺支、猗覺支、定覺支、舍覺支,也是依遠離、依無慾、依滅、趨向于舍。因此應當知道,阿難!完全圓滿、清凈的梵行,才是善知識、善伴侶、善隨從,而不是惡知識、惡伴侶、惡隨從。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜奉行。

English version: (726) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove Monastery in Rajagriha. At that time, the venerable Ananda was also dwelling there. Then, the venerable Ananda, alone in a quiet place, was meditating and contemplating, thinking thus: 'Half of the holy life is about good teachers, good companions, and good followers, not bad teachers, bad companions, and bad followers.' Then, the venerable Ananda arose from meditation, went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, I was alone in a quiet place meditating and contemplating, thinking thus: 'Half of the holy life is about good teachers, good companions, and good followers, not bad teachers, bad companions, and bad followers.' The Buddha said to Ananda: 'Do not say: 'Half of the holy life is about good teachers, good companions, and good followers, not bad teachers, bad companions, and bad followers.' Why is that? The pure, complete, and perfect holy life is about good teachers, good companions, and good followers, not bad teachers, bad companions, and bad followers. Because I am a good teacher, beings in my presence grasp the mindfulness enlightenment factor, based on detachment, based on non-desire, based on cessation, leading to relinquishment. Likewise, the investigation of dharma enlightenment factor, the energy enlightenment factor, the joy enlightenment factor, the tranquility enlightenment factor, the concentration enlightenment factor, and the equanimity enlightenment factor, are based on detachment, based on non-desire, based on cessation, leading to relinquishment. Therefore, you should know, Ananda! The pure, complete, and perfect holy life is about good teachers, good companions, and good followers, not bad teachers, bad companions, and bad followers.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.


(七二七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在力士聚落人間遊行,于拘夷那竭城希連河中間住,于聚落側告尊者阿難:「令四重襞疊敷世尊郁多羅僧,我今背疾,欲小臥息。」

尊者阿難即受教敕,四重襞疊敷郁多羅僧已,白佛言:「世尊!已四重襞疊敷郁多羅僧,唯世尊知時。」

爾時,世尊厚襞僧伽梨枕頭,右脅而臥,足足相累,繫念明相,正念正智,作起覺想,告尊者阿難:「汝說七覺分。」

時,尊者阿難即白佛言:「世尊!所謂念覺分,世尊自覺成等正覺,說依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍,擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺分,世尊自覺成等正覺,說依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍。」

佛告阿難:「汝說精進耶?」

阿難白佛:「我說精進。世尊!說精進。善逝!」

佛告阿難:「唯精進,修習多修習,得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」說是語已,正坐端身繫念。

時,有異比丘即說偈言:

「樂聞美妙法,  忍疾告人說,  比丘即說法,  轉於七覺分。  善哉尊阿難,  明解巧便說,  有勝白凈法,  離垢微妙說。  念、擇法、精進、  喜、猗、定、舍覺,  此則七覺分,  微妙之善說

現代漢語譯本: (七二七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀在力士聚落的人間**,住在拘夷那竭城希連河中間。在聚落旁邊,佛陀告訴尊者阿難:『給我鋪上四層摺疊的郁多羅僧,我現在背痛,想稍微躺下休息。』 尊者阿難立即接受教誨,鋪好四層摺疊的郁多羅僧后,對佛陀說:『世尊!已經鋪好四層摺疊的郁多羅僧,請世尊自行決定時間。』 這時,世尊把僧伽梨枕頭疊厚,右脅而臥,雙腳交疊,繫念光明之相,正念正智,想著起身,告訴尊者阿難:『你說說七覺分。』 當時,尊者阿難立即對佛陀說:『世尊!所謂念覺分,是世尊您自己覺悟成等正覺,說依遠離、依無慾、依滅、趨向于舍;擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺分,是世尊您自己覺悟成等正覺,說依遠離、依無慾、依滅、趨向于舍。』 佛陀告訴阿難:『你說的是精進嗎?』 阿難對佛陀說:『我說的是精進。世尊!說的是精進。善逝!』 佛陀告訴阿難:『唯有精進,修習再修習,才能證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。』說完這話,佛陀就端正坐好,繫念於心。 當時,有一位比丘說了偈語: 『樂於聽聞美妙的佛法,忍受病痛告訴他人,比丘們宣說佛法,轉動七覺分的法輪。善哉,尊者阿難,明瞭通達,巧妙地宣說,有殊勝清凈的佛法,遠離垢染,微妙地宣說。念、擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺,這就是七覺分,微妙而善妙的宣說。』

English version: (727) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the human realm of the 'Li Shi' settlement**, residing between the 'Xi Lian' River in the city of 'Kushinagar'. Beside the settlement, he said to the Venerable Ananda, 'Lay out the four-fold folded 'Uttarasangha' robe for me. My back is hurting, and I wish to lie down and rest a little.' The Venerable Ananda immediately accepted the instruction, and after laying out the four-fold folded 'Uttarasangha' robe, he said to the Buddha, 'Venerable One! The four-fold folded 'Uttarasangha' robe has been laid out. May the Venerable One decide the time.' At that time, the Buddha thickened the 'Sanghati' robe as a pillow, lay down on his right side, with his feet placed one on top of the other, focusing his mind on the light, with right mindfulness and right wisdom, thinking of getting up, and said to the Venerable Ananda, 'Speak about the seven factors of enlightenment.' Then, the Venerable Ananda immediately said to the Buddha, 'Venerable One! The so-called mindfulness factor of enlightenment is that the Venerable One has awakened to perfect enlightenment, speaking of relying on detachment, relying on non-desire, relying on cessation, and tending towards relinquishment; the factors of investigation of the Dharma, effort, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity are that the Venerable One has awakened to perfect enlightenment, speaking of relying on detachment, relying on non-desire, relying on cessation, and tending towards relinquishment.' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'Are you speaking of effort?' Ananda said to the Buddha, 'I am speaking of effort. Venerable One! Speaking of effort. Well-gone One!' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'Only through effort, practicing and practicing more, can one attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.' Having said this, the Buddha sat upright, focusing his mind. At that time, a certain monk spoke a verse: 'Glad to hear the wonderful Dharma, enduring illness to tell others, the monks preach the Dharma, turning the wheel of the seven factors of enlightenment. Well done, Venerable Ananda, clear and understanding, skillfully speaking, there is the supreme pure Dharma, free from defilement, wonderfully spoken. Mindfulness, investigation of the Dharma, effort, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity, these are the seven factors of enlightenment, wonderfully and well spoken.'


。  聞說七覺分,  深達正覺味,  身嬰大苦患,  忍疾端坐聽,  觀為正法王,  常為人演說,  猶樂聞所說,  況余未聞者,  第一大智慧,  十力所禮者,  彼亦應疾疾,  來聽說正法,  諸多聞通達,  契經阿毗曇,  善通法律者,  應聽況餘者,  聞說如實法,  專心黠慧聽,  于佛所說法,  得離欲歡喜,  歡喜身猗息,  心自樂亦然,  心樂得正受,  正觀有事行,  厭惡三趣者,  離欲心解脫,  厭惡諸有趣,  不集於人天,  無餘猶燈滅,  究竟般涅槃,  聞法多福利,  最勝之所說,  是故當專思,  聽大師所說。」

異比丘說此偈已,從座起而去。

(七二八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有七覺分。何等為七?謂念覺分,乃至舍覺分。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七二九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當修七覺分。何等為修七覺分?謂念覺分,乃至舍覺分,若比丘修念覺分,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍

現代漢語譯本: 聽說七覺支,能深刻領悟正覺的滋味。 即使身受極大苦患,也要忍著病痛端坐聽法。 把佛看作正法之王,他常常為人演說佛法。 連佛都樂於聽自己所說的法,更何況我們這些還沒聽過的人呢? 第一大智慧者,十力所敬禮者, 他們也應該趕快來聽聞正法。 那些博學多聞,通達契經和阿毗曇, 善於理解戒律的人,都應該聽法,更何況其他人呢? 聽聞如實之法,要專心且有智慧地聽。 對於佛所說的法,能生起離欲的歡喜。 歡喜使身體輕安,內心也自然快樂。 內心快樂就能得到正定,正確觀察世間諸行。 厭惡三惡道的人,能因離欲而心解脫。 厭惡一切有生趣的,不執著於人天果報。 像燈火熄滅一樣,無餘地進入究竟的涅槃。 聽聞佛法有諸多福德,這是最殊勝的教導。 所以應當專心思考,聽從大師所說。 這位比丘說完這偈頌后,就從座位起身離開了。

(七二八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有七覺支。哪七種呢?就是念覺支,乃至舍覺支。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜奉行。

(七二九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當修習七覺支。修習哪七覺支呢?就是念覺支,乃至舍覺支。如果比丘修習念覺支,依于遠離、依于無慾、依于滅、趨向于舍。』

English version: Having heard of the seven factors of enlightenment, one deeply understands the taste of true awakening. Even when suffering great pain, one should endure the illness and sit upright to listen to the Dharma. Viewing the Buddha as the king of the Dharma, who constantly expounds it for others, Even the Buddha delights in hearing his own teachings, how much more so should those who have not yet heard? The one with the greatest wisdom, revered by the ten powers, They too should quickly come to hear the true Dharma. Those who are learned and have mastered the Sutras and Abhidhamma, Those who are skilled in understanding the Vinaya should listen, how much more so should others? Upon hearing the true Dharma, one should listen attentively and with wisdom. Regarding the Dharma taught by the Buddha, one can generate joy free from desire. Joy brings tranquility to the body, and the mind naturally becomes happy. With a happy mind, one attains right concentration, and correctly observes the workings of the world. Those who detest the three realms of suffering can achieve liberation of mind through detachment. Detesting all realms of existence, one does not cling to the rewards of humans or gods. Like a lamp extinguished, one enters ultimate Nirvana without remainder. Hearing the Dharma brings many blessings, it is the most supreme teaching. Therefore, one should contemplate attentively and listen to what the great master says. After speaking this verse, the monk rose from his seat and departed.

(728) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'There are seven factors of enlightenment. What are the seven? They are the mindfulness factor of enlightenment, up to the equanimity factor of enlightenment.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(729) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'You should cultivate the seven factors of enlightenment. What are the seven factors of enlightenment to be cultivated? They are the mindfulness factor of enlightenment, up to the equanimity factor of enlightenment. If a monk cultivates the mindfulness factor of enlightenment, he relies on detachment, relies on non-desire, relies on cessation, and inclines towards relinquishment.'

English version: If one cultivates the factors of enlightenment such as investigation of the Dhamma, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity, one relies on detachment, relies on dispassion, relies on cessation, and inclines towards relinquishment.

(730) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks... as said above.

Monks! The mindfulness enlightenment factor is pure, bright, without branches, free from all defilements, what has not arisen will arise, it is the Buddha's taming instruction, not another, and so it should be said even for the equanimity enlightenment factor.'

時,有異比丘來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊謂覺分。世尊!云何為覺分?」

佛告比丘:「所謂覺分者,謂七道品法。然諸比丘七覺分漸次而起,修習滿足。」

異比丘白佛:「世尊!云何覺分漸次而起,修習滿足?」

佛告比丘:「若比丘內身身觀住,彼內身身觀住時,攝心繫念不忘。彼當爾時,念覺分方便修習,方便修習念覺分已,修習滿足;滿足念覺分已,於法選擇,分別思量。當於爾時修擇法覺分方便,修方便已,修習滿足,如是乃至舍覺分修習滿足。如內身身觀念住,如是外身、內外身,受、心、法法觀念住,當於爾時專心繫念不忘,乃至舍覺分亦如是說。如是住者,漸次覺分起,漸次起已,修習滿足。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七三五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園……如上說

現代漢語譯本 當時,有一位異比丘來到佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足后,退坐在一旁,向佛陀說道:『世尊說有覺分。世尊,什麼是覺分呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『所謂的覺分,是指七道品法。各位比丘,這七覺分是逐漸生起,修習圓滿的。』 異比丘問佛陀:『世尊,覺分是如何逐漸生起,修習圓滿的呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『如果比丘在內身觀察身體的實相,當他這樣觀察時,會攝心專注,不忘失正念。那時,他會方便修習念覺分,方便修習念覺分后,就修習圓滿;圓滿念覺分后,就會對法進行選擇,分別思量。那時,他會方便修習擇法覺分,方便修習后,就修習圓滿,如此乃至舍覺分修習圓滿。如同在內身觀察身體的實相,同樣地,在外身、內外身,感受、心、法觀察實相時,也會專心繫念,不忘失正念,乃至舍覺分也是如此。像這樣安住,覺分就會逐漸生起,逐漸生起后,就修習圓滿。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (七三四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴那些比丘,內容如上所述。不同之處在於:『如果比丘這樣修習七覺分,將會得到兩種果報,在現世就能證得漏盡無餘涅槃,或者證得阿那含果。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (七三五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園……內容如上所述

English version At that time, a certain bhikkhu came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'The Blessed One speaks of the factors of enlightenment. Blessed One, what are the factors of enlightenment?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'The so-called factors of enlightenment refer to the seven factors of the path. Bhikkhus, these seven factors of enlightenment arise gradually and are cultivated to fulfillment.' The certain bhikkhu asked the Buddha: 'Blessed One, how do the factors of enlightenment arise gradually and are cultivated to fulfillment?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'If a bhikkhu dwells contemplating the body internally, when he dwells contemplating the body internally, he focuses his mind and does not forget mindfulness. At that time, he will conveniently cultivate the mindfulness factor of enlightenment, and after conveniently cultivating the mindfulness factor of enlightenment, he will cultivate it to fulfillment; after fulfilling the mindfulness factor of enlightenment, he will choose the Dharma, and contemplate and ponder. At that time, he will conveniently cultivate the investigation of the Dharma factor of enlightenment, and after conveniently cultivating it, he will cultivate it to fulfillment, and so on until the equanimity factor of enlightenment is cultivated to fulfillment. Just as he dwells contemplating the body internally, so too when contemplating the body externally, internally and externally, feelings, mind, and mental objects, he will focus his mind and not forget mindfulness, and so on until the equanimity factor of enlightenment is also spoken of in this way. When one dwells in this way, the factors of enlightenment will gradually arise, and after gradually arising, they will be cultivated to fulfillment.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (734) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the Blessed One told those bhikkhus, as above. The difference is: 'If a bhikkhu cultivates the seven factors of enlightenment in this way, he will attain two kinds of fruits, either attaining the extinction of all defilements and the remainderless Nirvana in this very life, or attaining the fruit of Anagami.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (735) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi... as said above.


。差別者:「如是比丘修習七覺分已,多修習已,得四種果、四種福利。何等為四?謂須陀洹果、斯陀含果、阿那含果、阿羅漢果。」

佛說此經已,異比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七三六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園……如上說。差別者:「若比丘修習七覺分,多修習已,當得七種果、七種福利。何等為七?是比丘得現法智證樂,若命終時若不得現法智證樂,及命終時,而得五下分結盡,中般涅槃。若不得中般涅槃,而得生般涅槃。若不得生般涅槃,而得無行般涅槃。若不得無行般涅槃,而得有行般涅槃。若不得有行般涅槃,而得上流般涅槃。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「所謂覺分。何等為覺分?」

佛告諸比丘、比丘尼:「七覺分者,謂七道品法。諸比丘!此七覺分漸次起,漸次起已,修習滿足

現代漢語譯本 區別在於:『如果比丘修習七覺支,並多次修習,就能獲得四種果位、四種利益。哪四種呢?就是須陀洹果、斯陀含果、阿那含果、阿羅漢果。』 佛陀說完這部經后,其他比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (七三六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園……如同上面所說。區別在於:『如果比丘修習七覺支,並多次修習,就能獲得七種果位、七種利益。哪七種呢?這位比丘能獲得現世的智慧和證悟的快樂;如果命終時沒有獲得現世的智慧和證悟的快樂,在命終時,就能斷盡五下分結,證得中般涅槃。如果不能證得中般涅槃,就能證得生般涅槃。如果不能證得生般涅槃,就能證得無行般涅槃。如果不能證得無行般涅槃,就能證得有行般涅槃。如果不能證得有行般涅槃,就能證得上流般涅槃。』 佛陀說完這部經后,其他比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (七三七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『所謂覺支。什麼是覺支呢?』 眾比丘對佛陀說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠,唯愿您為我們解說。眾比丘聽聞后,當會接受奉行。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘、比丘尼:『七覺支,就是七道品法。諸位比丘!這七覺支是逐漸生起的,逐漸生起后,修習圓滿。』

English version The distinction is: 'If a bhikkhu cultivates the seven factors of enlightenment, and cultivates them frequently, he obtains four fruits and four benefits. What are the four? They are the fruit of Stream-entry, the fruit of Once-returning, the fruit of Non-returning, and the fruit of Arahantship.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the other bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (736) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi... as described above. The distinction is: 'If a bhikkhu cultivates the seven factors of enlightenment, and cultivates them frequently, he will obtain seven fruits and seven benefits. What are the seven? This bhikkhu obtains the joy of wisdom and realization in this very life; if he does not obtain the joy of wisdom and realization in this very life, at the time of death, he will eradicate the five lower fetters and attain intermediate Nibbana. If he does not attain intermediate Nibbana, he will attain rebirth Nibbana. If he does not attain rebirth Nibbana, he will attain effortless Nibbana. If he does not attain effortless Nibbana, he will attain effortful Nibbana. If he does not attain effortful Nibbana, he will attain the Nibbana of the highest stream.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the other bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (737) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'What are the factors of enlightenment? What are the factors of enlightenment?' The bhikkhus said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, the Blessed One is the root of the Dhamma, the eye of the Dhamma, the reliance of the Dhamma. May the Blessed One please explain it. Having heard it, the bhikkhus will accept and practice it.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus and bhikkhunis: 'The seven factors of enlightenment are the seven factors of the path. Bhikkhus! These seven factors of enlightenment arise gradually, and having arisen gradually, they are cultivated to fulfillment.'

現代漢語譯本: 諸位比丘問佛陀:『如何使七覺支逐漸生起,生起后又如何修習圓滿呢?』 佛陀說:『如果比丘專注于觀察自身,當他專注于觀察自身時,專心繫念而不忘失,那時就應方便修習念覺支;方便修習念覺支后,就修習圓滿。所謂修習念覺支后,對於法進行選擇,那時就應方便修習擇法覺支;方便修習擇法覺支后,就修習圓滿。精進覺支、喜覺支、猗覺支、定覺支、舍覺支也應如此解說。如同觀察自身,也應如此觀察外在的身體、內在和外在的身體,感受、心、法,專注于觀察,專心繫念而不忘失,那時就應方便修習念覺支,方便修習念覺支后,就修習圓滿。乃至舍覺支也應如此解說。這就是比丘七覺支逐漸生起,生起后又修習圓滿的方法。』 佛陀說完此經,諸位比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

English version: The bhikkhus asked the Buddha, 'How do the seven factors of enlightenment arise gradually, and how are they cultivated to fulfillment once they have arisen?' The Buddha said, 'If a bhikkhu dwells contemplating the body in the body, having dwelt contemplating the body in the body, with focused mindfulness and without forgetting, at that time he should cultivate the mindfulness enlightenment factor; having cultivated the mindfulness enlightenment factor, he cultivates it to fulfillment. Having cultivated the mindfulness enlightenment factor, when choosing the Dharma, at that time he should cultivate the investigation of Dharma enlightenment factor; having cultivated the investigation of Dharma enlightenment factor, he cultivates it to fulfillment. The same should be said of the energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity enlightenment factors. Just as with the contemplation of the inner body, so too with the contemplation of the outer body, the inner and outer body, feelings, mind, and dharmas, dwelling in contemplation, with focused mindfulness and without forgetting, at that time he should cultivate the mindfulness enlightenment factor; having cultivated the mindfulness enlightenment factor, he cultivates it to fulfillment. The same should be said up to the equanimity enlightenment factor. This is how the seven factors of enlightenment arise gradually for a bhikkhu, and how they are cultivated to fulfillment once they have arisen.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Buddha's words and practiced accordingly.

(738) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus... as above. The difference is: 'If these seven factors of enlightenment are cultivated and frequently practiced, two fruits will be attained: the knowledge of the present life with remainder of Nibbana and the fruit of Anagami.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Buddha's words and practiced accordingly.

(739) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus... as above. The difference is: 'If a bhikkhu cultivates the seven factors of enlightenment and frequently practices them, he will attain four fruits. What are the four? They are the fruits of Sotapanna, Sakadagami, Anagami, and Arahant.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Buddha's words and practiced accordingly.

現代漢語譯本 (七四〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園……和前面說的一樣。不同之處在於:『如果比丘修習這七覺支,多次修習后,將獲得七種果報。哪七種呢?即是現世獲得智慧,證得有餘涅槃,以及命終時,如果不是這樣,就斷盡五下分結,證得中般涅槃。如果不是這樣,就證得生般涅槃。如果不是這樣,就證得無行般涅槃。如果不是這樣,就證得有行般涅槃。如果不是這樣,就證得上流般涅槃。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (七四一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當修習不凈觀,多次修習后,將獲得大的果報和大的利益。如何修習不凈觀?多次修習后,能獲得大的果報和大的利益。這位比丘修習不凈觀時,與念覺支相應,依于遠離、依于無慾、依于滅盡、趨向于舍;修習擇法、精進、喜、猗、定、舍覺支,也是依于遠離、依于無慾、依于滅盡、趨向于舍。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (七四二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘修習隨死念,多次修習后,將獲得大的果報和大的利益。比丘如何修習隨死念?多次修習后,能獲得大的果報和大的利益。這位比丘修習隨死念時,與念覺支相應,依于遠離、依于無慾、依于滅盡、趨向于舍,乃至舍覺支也像這樣說。』

English version (740) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti... as described above. The difference is: 'If a bhikkhu cultivates these seven factors of enlightenment, having cultivated them frequently, he will attain seven fruits. What are the seven? They are: realizing wisdom in this very life and attaining Nirvana with residue, and at the time of death, if not that, then the exhaustion of the five lower fetters, attaining intermediate Nirvana. If not that, then attaining birth-Nirvana. If not that, then attaining Nirvana without effort. If not that, then attaining Nirvana with effort. If not that, then attaining the Nirvana of the upward stream.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Buddha's words and practiced accordingly. (741) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'You should cultivate the contemplation of the impure, having cultivated it frequently, you will attain great fruit and great benefit. How does one cultivate the contemplation of the impure? Having cultivated it frequently, one attains great fruit and great benefit. This bhikkhu, while contemplating the impure, has mindfulness as a factor of enlightenment, based on detachment, based on dispassion, based on cessation, leading to relinquishment; he cultivates the factors of enlightenment of investigation of the Dhamma, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity, based on detachment, based on dispassion, based on cessation, leading to relinquishment.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Buddha's words and practiced accordingly. (742) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu cultivates mindfulness of death, having cultivated it frequently, he will attain great fruit and great benefit. How does a bhikkhu cultivate mindfulness of death? Having cultivated it frequently, he attains great fruit and great benefit. This bhikkhu, while cultivating mindfulness of death, has mindfulness as a factor of enlightenment, based on detachment, based on dispassion, based on cessation, leading to relinquishment, and so it is said for the factor of equanimity.'


。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七四三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住釋氏黃枕邑。時,眾多比丘晨朝著衣持缽,入黃枕邑乞食。

時,眾多比丘作是念:「今日太早,乞食時未至,我等可過外道精舍。」爾時,眾多比丘即入外道精舍,與諸外道出家共相問訊慰勞已,於一面坐。

諸外道出家言:「沙門瞿曇為諸弟子說如是法不:『斷五蓋惱心,慧力羸、為障礙分、不趣涅槃,盡攝其心,住四念處。心與慈俱,無怨無嫉,亦無瞋恚,廣大無量,善修充滿;四方、四維、上、下一切世間,心與慈俱,無怨無嫉,亦無瞋恚,廣大無量,善修習充滿,如是修習。』悲、喜、舍心俱亦如是說。我等亦復為諸弟子作如是說,我等與彼沙門瞿曇有何等異?所謂俱能說法。」

時,眾多比丘聞諸外道出家所說,心不喜悅,默然不呵,從座起去。入黃枕邑,乞食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。以彼外道出家所說廣白世尊

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(七四三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在釋迦族的黃枕邑。當時,眾多比丘在早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入黃枕邑乞食。

當時,眾多比丘心想:『今天太早了,乞食的時間還沒到,我們不妨去外道精舍看看。』那時,眾多比丘就進入外道精舍,與那些外道出家人互相問候慰勞后,在一旁坐下。

那些外道出家人說:『沙門瞿曇是否也為他的弟子們說這樣的法:『斷除五蓋,這些會惱亂心智,使智慧衰弱,成為障礙,不能趨向涅槃。要完全收攝其心,安住於四念處。心與慈愛同在,沒有怨恨,沒有嫉妒,也沒有嗔恚,廣大無量,善加修習,使其充滿;四方、四維、上、下一切世間,心與慈愛同在,沒有怨恨,沒有嫉妒,也沒有嗔恚,廣大無量,善加修習,使其充滿,如此修習。』悲心、喜心、舍心也同樣如此宣說。我們也為我們的弟子們這樣宣說,我們和那位沙門瞿曇有什麼不同呢?都是在說法而已。』

當時,眾多比丘聽了那些外道出家人所說,心中不悅,默默不語,沒有反駁,就從座位上起身離開了。他們進入黃枕邑,乞食完畢后,回到精舍,收拾好衣缽,洗完腳,就去到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。他們將那些外道出家人所說的話詳細地告訴了世尊。

English version Having finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, hearing what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(743)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Shakyan town of Yellow Pillow. At that time, many bhikkhus, having dressed in the morning and taken their bowls, entered Yellow Pillow to beg for alms.

Then, many bhikkhus thought: 'It is too early today, the time for begging for alms has not yet arrived, we might as well go to the hermitage of the outsiders.' At that time, many bhikkhus entered the hermitage of the outsiders, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the outsider ascetics, they sat down to one side.

The outsider ascetics said: 'Does the ascetic Gotama teach his disciples this Dharma: 'Abandon the five hindrances that trouble the mind, weaken wisdom, become obstacles, and do not lead to Nirvana. Completely gather the mind, abide in the four foundations of mindfulness. The mind is with loving-kindness, without resentment, without jealousy, and without anger, vast and immeasurable, well-cultivated and full; in all directions, in all intermediate directions, above and below, in all the world, the mind is with loving-kindness, without resentment, without jealousy, and without anger, vast and immeasurable, well-cultivated and full, thus cultivate. The same is said for compassion, joy, and equanimity. We also teach our disciples in this way, what is the difference between us and that ascetic Gotama? We are both teaching the Dharma.'

At that time, many bhikkhus, hearing what the outsider ascetics had said, were displeased, remained silent, and did not refute them, and rose from their seats and left. Having entered Yellow Pillow, begged for alms, and returned to the monastery, they put away their robes and bowls, washed their feet, and went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side. They told the World-Honored One in detail what the outsider ascetics had said.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「如彼外道出家所說,汝等應問:『修習慈心,為何所勝?修習悲、喜、舍心,為何所勝?』如是問時,彼諸外道出家,心則駭散,或說外異事,或瞋慢、毀呰、違背、不忍,或默然萎熟,低頭失辯,思惟而住。所以者何?我不見諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天、人眾中,聞我所說隨順樂者,唯除如來及聲聞眾者。比丘!心與慈俱多修習,于凈最勝;悲心修習多修習,空入處最勝;喜心修習多修習,識入處最勝;舍心修習多修習,無所有入處最勝。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七四四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘修習慈心,多修習已,得大果大福利。云何比丘修習慈心,得大果大福利?是比丘心與慈俱,修念覺分,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍;乃至修習舍覺分,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七四五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘修空入處,多修習已,得大果大福利

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『就像那些外道出家人所說的那樣,你們應該問他們:『修習慈心,能獲得什麼殊勝的利益?修習悲心、喜心、舍心,又能獲得什麼殊勝的利益?』這樣問的時候,那些外道出家人就會心慌意亂,或者說些不相干的事情,或者嗔怒、傲慢、詆譭、違背、不能忍受,或者沉默不語、萎靡不振、低頭無言、思考著停留在那裡。這是為什麼呢?因為我沒有見到在天神、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門、天人等眾生中,有誰聽了我的說法后能隨順歡喜的,除了如來和聲聞弟子們。比丘們!心與慈愛同在並多加修習,在清凈方面最為殊勝;悲心修習並多加修習,在空入處方面最為殊勝;喜心修習並多加修習,在識入處方面最為殊勝;舍心修習並多加修習,在無所有入處方面最為殊勝。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (七四四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘修習慈心,並多加修習,就能獲得巨大的果報和巨大的利益。比丘如何修習慈心,才能獲得巨大的果報和巨大的利益呢?這位比丘的心與慈愛同在,修習念覺分,依于遠離、依于無慾、依于滅盡、趨向于舍;乃至修習舍覺分,依于遠離、依于無慾、依于滅盡、趨向于舍。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (七四五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘修習空入處,並多加修習,就能獲得巨大的果報和巨大的利益。

English version At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'As those ascetics of other sects say, you should ask them: 'What is the supreme benefit of cultivating loving-kindness? What is the supreme benefit of cultivating compassion, joy, and equanimity?' When asked in this way, those ascetics of other sects will become confused, or speak of irrelevant matters, or become angry, arrogant, slanderous, contradictory, and intolerant, or remain silent, withered, with their heads lowered, speechless, and dwelling in thought. Why is this so? Because I have not seen among the gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, gods, and humans, anyone who, upon hearing my teachings, can follow them with joy, except for the Tathagata and the assembly of disciples. Bhikkhus! When the mind is with loving-kindness and is cultivated extensively, it is most supreme in purity; when compassion is cultivated extensively, it is most supreme in the sphere of emptiness; when joy is cultivated extensively, it is most supreme in the sphere of consciousness; when equanimity is cultivated extensively, it is most supreme in the sphere of nothingness.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (744) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu cultivates loving-kindness and cultivates it extensively, he will obtain great fruit and great benefit. How does a bhikkhu cultivate loving-kindness to obtain great fruit and great benefit? This bhikkhu's mind is with loving-kindness, and he cultivates the mindfulness factor of enlightenment, relying on detachment, relying on non-desire, relying on cessation, and inclining towards relinquishment; and so on, until he cultivates the equanimity factor of enlightenment, relying on detachment, relying on non-desire, relying on cessation, and inclining towards relinquishment.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (745) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu cultivates the sphere of emptiness and cultivates it extensively, he will obtain great fruit and great benefit.'


。云何比丘修空入處,多修習已,得大果大福利?是比丘心與空入處俱,修念覺分,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍;乃至修舍覺分,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如修空入處,如是識入處、無所有入處、非想非非想入處三經,亦如上說。

(七四六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘修習安那般那念,多修習已,得大果大福利。云何修習安那般那念,多修習已,得大果大福利?是比丘心與安那般那念俱,修念覺分,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍;乃至修舍覺分,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七四七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘修無常想,多修習已,得大果大福利。云何比丘修無常想,多修習已,得大果大福利?是比丘心口與無常想俱,修念覺分,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍;乃至得舍覺分,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本: 「比丘如何修習空入處,通過多次修習,獲得大果報大利益呢?這位比丘的心與空入處相應,修習念覺支,依于遠離、依于無慾、依于滅盡、趨向于舍;乃至修習舍覺支,依于遠離、依于無慾、依于滅盡、趨向于舍。」 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 如同修習空入處一樣,修習識入處、無所有入處、非想非非想入處這三部經,也如上面所說。

(七四六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘修習安那般那念(入出息念),通過多次修習,就能獲得大果報大利益。如何修習安那般那念,通過多次修習,就能獲得大果報大利益呢?這位比丘的心與安那般那念相應,修習念覺支,依于遠離、依于無慾、依于滅盡、趨向于舍;乃至修習舍覺支,依于遠離、依于無慾、依于滅盡、趨向于舍。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

English version: 『How does a bhikkhu, having cultivated the sphere of emptiness, through much cultivation, attain great fruit and great benefit? It is when the bhikkhu's mind is associated with the sphere of emptiness, he cultivates the mindfulness enlightenment factor, based on detachment, based on dispassion, based on cessation, leading to relinquishment; and so on, up to cultivating the equanimity enlightenment factor, based on detachment, based on dispassion, based on cessation, leading to relinquishment.』 Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in what the Buddha had said. Just as with the cultivation of the sphere of emptiness, so too are the three discourses on the sphere of consciousness, the sphere of nothingness, and the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, as described above.

(746) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 『If a bhikkhu cultivates mindfulness of breathing, through much cultivation, he attains great fruit and great benefit. How does a bhikkhu, having cultivated mindfulness of breathing, through much cultivation, attain great fruit and great benefit? It is when the bhikkhu's mind is associated with mindfulness of breathing, he cultivates the mindfulness enlightenment factor, based on detachment, based on dispassion, based on cessation, leading to relinquishment; and so on, up to cultivating the equanimity enlightenment factor, based on detachment, based on dispassion, based on cessation, leading to relinquishment.』 Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in what the Buddha had said.

(747) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 『If a bhikkhu cultivates the perception of impermanence, through much cultivation, he attains great fruit and great benefit. How does a bhikkhu, having cultivated the perception of impermanence, through much cultivation, attain great fruit and great benefit? It is when the bhikkhu's mind is associated with the perception of impermanence, he cultivates the mindfulness enlightenment factor, based on detachment, based on dispassion, based on cessation, leading to relinquishment; and so on, up to attaining the equanimity enlightenment factor, based on detachment, based on dispassion, based on cessation, leading to relinquishment.』 Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in what the Buddha had said.

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『就像日出之前的預兆是明亮的光芒一樣,比丘想要徹底滅盡苦、達到苦的究竟邊際,其預兆就是正見。有了正見,就能生起正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。由於生起正定,聖弟子內心就能正確地解脫貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡,這樣內心就得到了善解脫。聖弟子獲得正確的知見:『我此生已盡,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來生。』

佛陀說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果以無明為先導,就會產生各種惡的不善法。這時,就會隨之產生無慚、無愧;無慚、無愧產生后,就會隨之產生邪見;邪見產生后,就能生起邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定。如果以明為先導,就會產生各種善法。

English version If one cultivates the perception of impermanence, one should cultivate the perception of suffering due to impermanence, the perception of no-self in suffering, the perception of food, the perception that all worldly things are undesirable, the perception of cessation, the perception of detachment, the perception of desirelessness, the perception of extinction, the perception of affliction, the perception of impurity, the perception of lividity, the perception of putrefaction, the perception of bloating, the perception of decay, the perception of food not being consumed, the perception of blood, the perception of separation, the perception of bones, and the perception of emptiness, each as described above.

Translated by Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

(748)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'Just as the precursor to sunrise is the appearance of bright light, so too, the precursor for a monk who is about to completely end suffering and reach the ultimate end of suffering is right view. With right view, one can generate right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. Because of the arising of right concentration, the noble disciple's mind is rightly liberated from greed, hatred, and delusion, and thus the mind is well liberated. The noble disciple attains right knowledge and vision: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life has been established, what was to be done has been done, and I know for myself that there will be no further existence.』

Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced and practiced the Buddha's teachings.

(749)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'If ignorance is the precursor, then various evil and unwholesome dharmas arise. At that time, shamelessness and lack of remorse arise; once shamelessness and lack of remorse have arisen, wrong view arises; once wrong view has arisen, one can generate wrong thought, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong concentration. If knowledge is the precursor, then various wholesome dharmas arise.'


。時,慚愧隨生,慚愧生已,能生正見,正見生已,起正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,次第而起。正定起已,聖弟子得正解脫貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡。如是聖弟子得正解脫已,得正知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七五〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘!諸惡不善法,比丘,一切皆以無明為根本,無明集、無明生、無明起。所以者何?無明者無知,于善、不善法不如實知,有罪、無罪,下法、上法,染污,不染污,分別、不分別,緣起、非緣起不如實知;不如實知故,起于邪見,起于邪見已,能起邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定。

「若諸善法生,一切皆明為根本,明集、明生、明起。明,于善、不善法如實知者,罪、無罪,親近、不親近,卑法、勝法,穢污、白凈,有分別、無分別,緣起、非緣起悉如實知,如實知者,是則正見。正見者,能起正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定

現代漢語譯本:當(慚愧)生起時,慚愧感隨之產生;慚愧感產生后,就能生起正見;正見生起后,就能依次生起正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。正定生起后,聖弟子就能正確地解脫貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡。如此,聖弟子獲得正確解脫后,就能獲得正確的知見:『我已不再輪迴,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (七五〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『諸位比丘!一切惡的、不善的法,都以無明為根本,無明聚集、無明產生、無明興起。為什麼呢?因為無明就是無知,對於善法、不善法不能如實地知曉,對於有罪、無罪,下劣的法、高上的法,染污的、不染污的,分別的、不分別的,緣起的、非緣起的都不能如實地知曉;因為不能如實地知曉,就會產生邪見,產生邪見后,就能產生邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定。』 『如果諸善法生起,一切都以明為根本,明聚集、明產生、明興起。明,對於善法、不善法如實知曉,對於有罪、無罪,應該親近的、不應該親近的,卑劣的法、殊勝的法,污穢的、清凈的,有分別的、無分別的,緣起的、非緣起的都能如實知曉,能夠如實知曉,這就是正見。有正見的人,就能生起正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。

English version: When (shame) arises, a sense of shame follows; after the sense of shame arises, right view can arise; after right view arises, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration can arise in sequence. After right concentration arises, the noble disciple can correctly liberate themselves from greed, hatred, and delusion. Thus, after the noble disciple obtains correct liberation, they can obtain correct knowledge and vision: 『My rebirth is exhausted, the pure practice has been established, what needed to be done has been done, and I know for myself that there will be no future existence.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (750) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta』s Grove, Anathapindika』s Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 『Monks! All evil and unwholesome dharmas have ignorance as their root, ignorance gathers, ignorance arises, ignorance originates. Why is that? Because ignorance is not knowing, not truly knowing about wholesome and unwholesome dharmas, not truly knowing about what is blameworthy and blameless, inferior and superior dharmas, defiled and undefiled, differentiated and undifferentiated, conditioned and unconditioned; because of not truly knowing, wrong view arises, and after wrong view arises, wrong intention, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong concentration can arise.』 『If wholesome dharmas arise, all have wisdom as their root, wisdom gathers, wisdom arises, wisdom originates. Wisdom, truly knowing about wholesome and unwholesome dharmas, truly knowing about what is blameworthy and blameless, what should be associated with and what should not be associated with, inferior and superior dharmas, defiled and pure, differentiated and undifferentiated, conditioned and unconditioned, is right view. One with right view can generate right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.』


。正定起已,聖弟子得正解脫貪、恚、癡,貪、恚、癡解脫已,是聖弟子得正智見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七五一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若在家、若出家而起邪事者,我所不說。所以者何?若在家、出家而起邪事者,則不樂正法。何等為邪事?謂邪見,乃至邪定,若在家、出家而起正事,我所讚歎。所以者何?起正事者,則樂正法,善於正法。何等為正事?謂正見,乃至正定。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「在家及出家,  而起邪事者,  彼則終不樂,  無上之正法,  在家及出家,  而起正事者,  彼則常心樂,  無上之正法。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七五二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,迦摩比丘詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!所謂欲者。云何為欲?」

佛告迦摩:「欲,謂五欲功德。何等為五?謂眼識明色,可愛、可意、可念,長養欲樂

現代漢語譯本:當他正確地進入禪定后,聖弟子便能正確地解脫貪慾、嗔恚和愚癡。當貪慾、嗔恚和愚癡都解脫后,這位聖弟子便能獲得正確的智慧和見解:『我的生命已經終結,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的事情已經做完,我清楚地知道自己不會再有來生。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (七五一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『無論是居家之人還是出家之人,如果行事不正,我都不贊同。為什麼呢?因為無論是居家之人還是出家之人,如果行事不正,就不會樂於正法。什麼是不正之事呢?就是指邪見,乃至邪定。如果居家之人或出家之人行事正當,我則讚歎。為什麼呢?因為行事正當的人,就會樂於正法,並且善於正法。什麼是正當之事呢?就是指正見,乃至正定。』 那時,世尊說了偈語: 『無論是居家還是出家,如果行事不正,他們最終都不會樂於無上的正法。無論是居家還是出家,如果行事正當,他們則會常常樂於無上的正法。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (七五二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,迦摩比丘來到佛陀面前,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊,您所說的『欲』是什麼意思呢?』 佛陀告訴迦摩:『欲,指的是五種欲樂的功德。哪五種呢?就是指眼睛所能識別的明亮色彩,這些色彩可愛、可意、可念,能增長人的慾望和快樂。

English version: When he has rightly entered into concentration, the noble disciple rightly attains release from greed, hatred, and delusion. When greed, hatred, and delusion are released, this noble disciple gains right knowledge and vision: 『My birth is ended, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, I know that I will not be reborn.』 Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and rejoiced in the Blessed One』s words. (751) Thus have I heard: At one time the Buddha was staying at Jeta』s Grove, Anathapindika』s monastery, near Savatthi. Then the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 『If either a householder or a renunciate engages in wrong conduct, I do not approve of it. Why is that? Because if either a householder or a renunciate engages in wrong conduct, they will not delight in the true teaching. What is wrong conduct? It is wrong view, and so on up to wrong concentration. If either a householder or a renunciate engages in right conduct, I approve of it. Why is that? Because those who engage in right conduct delight in the true teaching, and are skilled in the true teaching. What is right conduct? It is right view, and so on up to right concentration.』 Then the Blessed One recited these verses: 『Those who, whether householders or renunciates, engage in wrong conduct, will never delight in the supreme true teaching. Those who, whether householders or renunciates, engage in right conduct, will always delight in the supreme true teaching.』 Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and rejoiced in the Blessed One』s words. (752) Thus have I heard: At one time the Buddha was staying at Jeta』s Grove, Anathapindika』s monastery, near Savatthi. Then the bhikkhu Kamma went to the Blessed One, bowed down at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Blessed One: 『Sir, what is meant by 『desire』?』 The Buddha said to Kamma: 『Desire refers to the five strands of sensual pleasure. What are the five? They are sights cognized by the eye that are bright, lovely, pleasing, and conducive to desire and enjoyment.


。如是耳、鼻、舌、身識觸,可愛、可意、可念,長養欲樂,是名為欲。然彼非欲,于彼貪著者,是名為欲。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「世間雜五色,  彼非為愛慾,  貪慾覺想者,  是則士夫欲,  眾色常住世,  行者斷心欲。」

迦摩比丘白佛言:「世尊!寧有道有跡,斷此愛慾不?」

佛告比丘:「有八正道,能斷愛慾,謂正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。」

佛說此經已,迦摩比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七五三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有比丘名阿梨瑟吒,詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!所謂甘露者。云何名為甘露?」

佛告阿梨瑟吒:「甘露者,界名說,然我為有漏盡者,現說此名。」

阿梨瑟吒比丘白佛言:「世尊!有道有跡,修習多修習,得甘露法不?」

佛告比丘:「有,所謂八聖道分——謂正見乃至正定。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七五四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:像這樣,眼睛、耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體所感受到的觸覺,如果可愛、可意、可念,能夠增長慾望和快樂,這就被稱為『欲』。然而,那些感受本身並不是『欲』,對那些感受產生貪戀執著的人,才被稱為『欲』。 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『世間有各種各樣的顏色,那些顏色本身不是愛慾,對這些顏色產生貪慾和想法的人,才是真正的慾望。世間的各種顏色是常住的,修行的人應該斷除心中的慾望。』 迦摩比丘問佛說:『世尊!有沒有道路或方法,可以斷除這種愛慾呢?』 佛告訴比丘:『有八正道,可以斷除愛慾,那就是正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。』 佛說完這部經后,迦摩比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地接受並修行。 (七五三) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫阿梨瑟吒的比丘,來到佛的住所,向佛行禮,退坐在一旁,問佛說:『世尊!所謂的甘露,是什麼意思呢?』 佛告訴阿梨瑟吒:『甘露,是一種境界的名稱,我爲了那些已經斷除煩惱的人,才使用這個名稱。』 阿梨瑟吒比丘問佛說:『世尊!有沒有道路或方法,通過修行和反覆修行,可以獲得甘露法呢?』 佛告訴比丘:『有,那就是八聖道分——也就是正見乃至正定。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地接受並修行。 (七五四) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: Thus, the contacts experienced by the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, if they are lovely, pleasing, and desirable, and if they nurture desire and pleasure, are called 『desire.』 However, those sensations themselves are not 『desire』; it is the person who is greedy and attached to those sensations who is called 『desire.』 At that time, the World-Honored One spoke in verse: 『The world is filled with various colors, but those colors themselves are not lust. It is the person who has greed and thoughts about those colors who has true desire. The various colors of the world are permanent; the practitioner should cut off the desires in their heart.』 The monk Kama asked the Buddha, 『World-Honored One! Is there a path or method to cut off this lust?』 The Buddha told the monk, 『There is the Noble Eightfold Path, which can cut off lust. It is right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monk Kama heard what the Buddha said, and joyfully accepted and practiced it. (753) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there was a monk named Arishta who went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, sat down to one side, and asked the Buddha, 『World-Honored One! What is meant by the term 『Amrita』 (nectar)?』 The Buddha told Arishta, 『Amrita is a name for a realm. I use this name for those who have exhausted their outflows.』 The monk Arishta asked the Buddha, 『World-Honored One! Is there a path or method that, through practice and repeated practice, can attain the Dharma of Amrita?』 The Buddha told the monk, 『Yes, there is, it is the Noble Eightfold Path—that is, right view and so on up to right concentration.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks heard what the Buddha said, and joyfully accepted and practiced it. (754) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


爾時,尊者舍利弗詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!所謂賢聖等三昧根本眾具。云何為賢聖等三昧根本眾具?」

佛告舍利弗:「謂七正道分為賢聖等三昧,為根本,為眾具。何等為七?謂正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念。舍利弗!於此七道分為基業已,得一其心,是名賢聖等三昧根本眾具。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七五五~七)

如上三經。如是佛問諸比丘三經亦如是說。

(七五八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「無母子畏,有母子畏。愚癡無聞凡夫所說,而不能知無母子畏,有母子畏。

「諸比丘!有三種無母子畏,愚癡無聞凡夫所說。何等為三?諸比丘!有時兵兇亂起,殘害國土,隨流波迸,子失其母,母失其子,是名第一無母子畏,愚癡無聞凡夫所說。

「複次,比丘!有時大火卒起,焚燒城邑聚落,人民馳走,母子相失,是名第二無母子畏,愚癡無聞凡夫所說。

「複次,比丘!有時山中大雨,洪水流出,漂沒聚落,人民馳走,母子相失,是名第三無母子畏,愚癡無聞凡夫所說

現代漢語譯本: 當時,尊者舍利弗來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!您所說的賢聖等三昧的根本要素是什麼呢?』 佛陀告訴舍利弗:『所謂的七正道就是賢聖等三昧的根本和要素。哪七種呢?就是正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念。舍利弗!在這七道的基礎上,使心達到專注,這就是所謂的賢聖等三昧的根本要素。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (七五五~七) 以上三部經,佛陀詢問眾比丘的三部經也是這樣說的。 (七五八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有無母子之畏,也有母子之畏。愚癡無知的凡夫所說的,不能理解無母子之畏和有母子之畏。』 『諸位比丘!有三種無母子之畏,是愚癡無知的凡夫所說的。是哪三種呢?諸位比丘!有時發生戰亂,殘害國家,人們四處逃散,兒子失去了母親,母親失去了兒子,這被稱為第一種無母子之畏,是愚癡無知的凡夫所說的。』 『再者,比丘!有時突然發生大火,焚燒城市和村莊,人們四處奔逃,母親和兒子失散,這被稱為第二種無母子之畏,是愚癡無知的凡夫所說的。』 『再者,比丘!有時山中下大雨,洪水氾濫,淹沒村莊,人們四處奔逃,母親和兒子失散,這被稱為第三種無母子之畏,是愚癡無知的凡夫所說的。』

English version: At that time, the Venerable Sariputra went to the Buddha's dwelling, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! What are the fundamental elements of the Samadhi of the Noble Ones?' The Buddha told Sariputra, 'The so-called Sevenfold Path is the foundation and elements of the Samadhi of the Noble Ones. What are the seven? They are Right View, Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, and Right Mindfulness. Sariputra! Upon this foundation of the Sevenfold Path, when the mind achieves concentration, this is what is called the fundamental elements of the Samadhi of the Noble Ones.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (755-7) The above three sutras, the three sutras in which the Buddha questioned the monks, are also spoken in this way. (758) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'There is fear of no mother and child, and there is fear of mother and child. The ignorant and unlearned ordinary people speak of it, but they cannot understand the fear of no mother and child and the fear of mother and child.' 'Monks! There are three kinds of fear of no mother and child, which are spoken of by ignorant and unlearned ordinary people. What are the three? Monks! Sometimes, when war breaks out, ravaging the country, people scatter, sons lose their mothers, and mothers lose their sons. This is called the first fear of no mother and child, which is spoken of by ignorant and unlearned ordinary people.' 'Furthermore, monks! Sometimes, when a great fire suddenly arises, burning cities and villages, people flee, and mothers and sons are separated. This is called the second fear of no mother and child, which is spoken of by ignorant and unlearned ordinary people.' 'Furthermore, monks! Sometimes, when there is heavy rain in the mountains, and floods overflow, submerging villages, people flee, and mothers and sons are separated. This is called the third fear of no mother and child, which is spoken of by ignorant and unlearned ordinary people.'


「然此等畏,是有母子畏,愚癡無聞凡夫說名無母子畏。彼有時兵兇亂起,殘害國土,隨流波迸,母子相失,或時于彼母子相見,是名第一有母子畏,愚癡無聞凡夫說名無母子畏。

「複次,大火卒起,焚燒城邑聚落,人民馳走,母子相失,或復相見,是名第二有母子畏,愚癡無聞凡夫說名無母子畏。

「複次,山中大雨,洪水流出,漂沒聚落,此人馳走,母子相失,或尋相見,是名第三有母子畏,愚癡無聞凡夫說名無母子畏。

「比丘!有三種無母子畏,是我自覺成三菩提之所記說。何等為三?若比丘!子若老時,無母能語:『子!汝莫老,我當代汝。』其母老時,亦無子語:『母!令莫老,我代之老。』是名第一無母子畏,我自覺成三菩提之所記說。

「複次,比丘!有時子病,母不能語:『子!令莫病,我當代汝。』母病之時,子亦不能語:『母!莫病,我當代母。』是名第二無母子畏,我自覺成三菩提之所記說。

「複次,子若死時,無母能語:『子!令莫死,我今代汝。』母若死時,無子能語:『母!令莫死,我當代母。』是名第三無母子畏,我自覺成三菩提之所記說

現代漢語譯本 『然而,這些恐懼是有母子之分的恐懼,愚昧無知的凡夫卻稱之為無母子之分的恐懼。當戰亂爆發,殘害國土,人們四處逃散,母子失散,有時又會相見,這被稱為第一種有母子之分的恐懼,愚昧無知的凡夫卻稱之為無母子之分的恐懼。 『再者,大火突然燃起,焚燒城鎮村落,人們奔走逃命,母子失散,有時又會相見,這被稱為第二種有母子之分的恐懼,愚昧無知的凡夫卻稱之為無母子之分的恐懼。 『再者,山中大雨,洪水氾濫,淹沒村落,人們奔走逃命,母子失散,有時又會相見,這被稱為第三種有母子之分的恐懼,愚昧無知的凡夫卻稱之為無母子之分的恐懼。 『比丘們!有三種無母子之分的恐懼,這是我自覺成佛后所宣說的。是哪三種呢?比丘們!當兒子年老時,母親不能說:『兒子!你不要老,我來代替你老。』當母親年老時,兒子也不能說:『母親!你不要老,我來代替你老。』這被稱為第一種無母子之分的恐懼,這是我自覺成佛后所宣說的。 『再者,比丘們!有時兒子生病,母親不能說:『兒子!你不要生病,我來代替你生病。』當母親生病時,兒子也不能說:『母親!你不要生病,我來代替你生病。』這被稱為第二種無母子之分的恐懼,這是我自覺成佛后所宣說的。 『再者,當兒子去世時,母親不能說:『兒子!你不要死,我來代替你死。』當母親去世時,兒子也不能說:『母親!你不要死,我來代替你死。』這被稱為第三種無母子之分的恐懼,這是我自覺成佛后所宣說的。

English version 『However, these fears are fears that involve mothers and children; ignorant and unlearned ordinary people call them fears without mothers and children. When war breaks out, ravaging the land, people scatter, mothers and children are separated, and sometimes they meet again. This is called the first fear involving mothers and children, which ignorant and unlearned ordinary people call a fear without mothers and children. 『Furthermore, when a great fire suddenly arises, burning towns and villages, people flee, mothers and children are separated, and sometimes they meet again. This is called the second fear involving mothers and children, which ignorant and unlearned ordinary people call a fear without mothers and children. 『Furthermore, when heavy rain falls in the mountains, and floods flow out, submerging villages, people flee, mothers and children are separated, and sometimes they meet again. This is called the third fear involving mothers and children, which ignorant and unlearned ordinary people call a fear without mothers and children. 『Monks! There are three fears without mothers and children, which I, having awakened to enlightenment, have declared. What are the three? Monks! When a son grows old, the mother cannot say: 『Son!

Do not grow old, I will grow old in your place.』 This is called the first fear without mothers and children, which I, having awakened to enlightenment, have declared. 『Furthermore, monks!

現代漢語譯本 諸位比丘問佛陀:『是否存在某種道路或方法,通過修習和反覆實踐,可以斷除前三種有母子之畏,以及斷除后三種無母子之畏?』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『存在著一種道路和方法,可以斷除這三種畏懼。這條道路是什麼?這種方法是什麼?通過修習和反覆實踐,可以斷除前三種有母子之畏,以及斷除后三種無母子之畏?那就是八聖道分,即正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (七五九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『存在三種感受,它們是無常的、有為的、由心所緣而生的。這三種感受是什麼呢?它們是樂受、苦受和不苦不樂受。』 諸位比丘問佛陀:『世尊!是否存在某種道路或方法,通過修習和反覆實踐,可以斷除這三種感受?』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『存在著一種道路和方法,通過修習和反覆實踐,可以斷除這三種感受。這條道路是什麼?這種方法是什麼?通過修習和反覆實踐,可以斷除這三種感受?』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『那就是八聖道,即正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (七六〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『世間有三種法,它們是不可喜、不可愛、不可唸的。這三種法是什麼呢?它們是衰老、疾病和死亡。這三種法是不可喜、不可愛、不可唸的。』

English version The bhikkhus asked the Buddha: 'Is there a path or practice, that when cultivated and frequently practiced, can eliminate the first three fears associated with having a mother and child, and the latter three fears not associated with having a mother and child?' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'There is a path and a practice that can eliminate those three fears. What is this path? What is this practice, that when cultivated and frequently practiced, can eliminate the first three fears associated with having a mother and child, and the latter three fears not associated with having a mother and child? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely, right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (759) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'There are three feelings, which are impermanent, conditioned, and arise from mental contact. What are these three? They are pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-pleasant-nor-painful feeling.' The bhikkhus asked the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! Is there a path or practice, that when cultivated and frequently practiced, can eliminate these three feelings?' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'There is a path and a practice, that when cultivated and frequently practiced, can eliminate these three feelings. What is this path? What is this practice, that when cultivated and frequently practiced, can eliminate these three feelings?' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'It is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely, right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (760) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'There are three things in the world that are undesirable, unlovable, and unmemorable. What are these three? They are old age, sickness, and death. These three things are undesirable, unlovable, and unmemorable.'

現代漢語譯本:如果世間沒有這三種令人不喜、不愛、不念的事物,就不會有如來、應供、正等覺出現於世,世間也不會知道有如來說法教誡、教授。正因為世間有這三種令人不喜、不愛、不念的事物,如來、應供、正等覺才會出現於世,世間才知道有如來說法教誡、教授。 諸位比丘問佛:『是否有道路和方法,可以斷除這三種令人不喜、不愛、不念的事物?』 佛告訴比丘們:『有道路和方法,通過修習和反覆修習,可以斷除這三種令人不喜、不愛、不念的事物。什麼是道路?什麼是方法?通過修習和反覆修習,可以斷除這三種令人不喜、不愛、不念的事物?那就是八聖道,即正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。』 佛說完這部經后,諸位比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (七六一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『我將要說有學和無學。仔細聽,好好思考。什麼是有學?就是有學正見成就,有學正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定成就,這稱為有學。什麼是無學?就是無學正見成就,無學正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定成就,這稱為無學。』 佛說完這部經后,諸位比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 如同有學、無學一樣,正士、大士也是這樣說的。 (七六二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: If there were not these three things in the world that are unlikable, unlovable, and unmemorable, there would be no Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha appearing in the world, and the world would not know that the Tathagata teaches, admonishes, and instructs. It is because there are these three things in the world that are unlikable, unlovable, and unmemorable that the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha appears in the world, and the world knows that the Tathagata teaches, admonishes, and instructs. The monks asked the Buddha, 'Is there a path and a way to cut off these three things that are unlikable, unlovable, and unmemorable?' The Buddha told the monks, 'There is a path and a way, through practice and repeated practice, to cut off these three things that are unlikable, unlovable, and unmemorable. What is the path? What is the way? Through practice and repeated practice, to cut off these three things that are unlikable, unlovable, and unmemorable? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely, right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (761) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'I will speak about the learner and the non-learner. Listen carefully and contemplate well. What is a learner? It is one who has achieved the right view of a learner, and has achieved the right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration of a learner. This is called a learner. What is a non-learner? It is one who has achieved the right view of a non-learner, and has achieved the right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration of a non-learner. This is called a non-learner.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just as with the learner and the non-learner, so too are the righteous person and the great person spoken of. (762) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我當說聖漏盡。云何為聖漏盡?謂無學正見成就,乃至無學正定成就,是名聖漏盡。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七六三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說八聖道分。何等為八?謂正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七六四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說修八聖道。諦聽,善思。何等為修八聖道?是比丘修正見,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍,修正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍,是名修八聖道。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七六五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說比丘過去已修八聖道,未來當修八聖道。」乃至……。

諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七六六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我將要說聖者的漏盡。什麼是聖者的漏盡呢?就是指無學正見成就,乃至無學正定成就,這稱為聖者的漏盡。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。

(七六三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說八聖道分。哪八種呢?就是正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。

(七六四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說修習八聖道。仔細聽,好好思考。什麼是修習八聖道呢?就是比丘修習正見,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、趨向于舍;修習正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、趨向于舍,這稱為修習八聖道。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。

(七六五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說比丘過去已經修習的八聖道,以及未來將要修習的八聖道。』乃至……。 眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。

(七六六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'I will speak of the noble destruction of outflows. What is the noble destruction of outflows? It is the attainment of the non-learning right view, up to the attainment of the non-learning right concentration. This is called the noble destruction of outflows.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(763) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'I will now speak of the eightfold noble path. What are the eight? They are right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(764) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'I will now speak of the cultivation of the eightfold noble path. Listen carefully and contemplate well. What is the cultivation of the eightfold noble path? It is when a bhikkhu cultivates right view, based on detachment, based on non-desire, based on cessation, tending towards relinquishment; cultivates right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration, based on detachment, based on non-desire, based on cessation, tending towards relinquishment. This is called the cultivation of the eightfold noble path.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(765) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'I will now speak of the eightfold noble path that a bhikkhu has cultivated in the past, and the eightfold noble path that he will cultivate in the future.' And so on… The bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(766) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘正見清凈鮮白,無諸過患,離諸煩惱,未起不起,唯除佛所調伏,乃至正定亦如是說。若正見清凈鮮白,無諸過患,離諸煩惱,未起能起,乃至正定亦如是說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如除佛所說,除善逝所說,亦如上說。

(七六七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「說不善聚者,謂五蓋,是為正說。所以者何?純一不善聚者,所謂五蓋。何等為五?謂貪慾蓋,瞋恚、眠睡、掉悔、疑蓋。說善法聚者,所謂八聖道,是名正說。所以者何?純一滿凈善聚者,謂八聖道。何等為八?謂正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七六八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城山谷精舍。

時,尊者阿難獨一靜處,作如是念:「半梵行者,謂善知識、善伴黨、善隨從。」乃至。佛告阿難:「純一滿凈具梵行者,謂善知識。所以者何?我為善知識故,令諸眾生修習正見,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍,乃至修正定,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘的正見清凈鮮明,沒有過失,遠離煩惱,未生起的(煩惱)不會生起,唯有佛所調伏的(煩惱)除外,乃至正定也應這樣說。如果正見清凈鮮明,沒有過失,遠離煩惱,未生起的(善法)能夠生起,乃至正定也應這樣說。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 如同除去佛所說的,除去善逝所說的,也應如上面所說。

(七六七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『說不善的集合,指的是五蓋,這是正確的說法。為什麼呢?因為純粹不善的集合,就是五蓋。哪五種呢?就是貪慾蓋、嗔恚蓋、昏沉睡眠蓋、掉舉後悔蓋、疑惑蓋。說善法的集合,指的是八聖道,這是正確的說法。為什麼呢?因為純粹圓滿清凈的善的集合,就是八聖道。哪八種呢?就是正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

(七六八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城山谷精舍。 當時,尊者阿難獨自一人在靜處,心中這樣想:『(修行)一半的梵行,指的是善知識、善伴侶、善隨從。』乃至。佛告訴阿難:『純粹圓滿具足梵行的人,指的是善知識。為什麼呢?因為我作為善知識,使得眾生修習正見,依靠遠離、依靠無慾、依靠滅盡、趨向于捨棄,乃至修習正定,依靠遠離、依靠無慾、依靠滅盡、趨向于捨棄。

English version: At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu's right view is pure, bright, without faults, free from defilements, and what has not arisen does not arise, except for what is subdued by the Buddha, even right concentration should be spoken of in the same way. If right view is pure, bright, without faults, free from defilements, and what has not arisen can arise, even right concentration should be spoken of in the same way.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. Just as what is said by the Buddha is removed, what is said by the Sugata is removed, it should also be spoken of as above.

(767) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'To speak of the aggregation of unwholesome things, it refers to the five hindrances, this is the correct way to speak. Why is that? Because the purely unwholesome aggregation is the five hindrances. What are the five? They are the hindrance of sensual desire, the hindrance of ill-will, the hindrance of sloth and torpor, the hindrance of restlessness and remorse, and the hindrance of doubt. To speak of the aggregation of wholesome things, it refers to the eightfold noble path, this is the correct way to speak. Why is that? Because the purely complete and pure wholesome aggregation is the eightfold noble path. What are the eight? They are right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(768) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Mountain Valley Monastery in Rajagaha. At that time, the Venerable Ananda, alone in a quiet place, thought thus: 'Half of the holy life refers to good teachers, good companions, and good followers.' And so on. The Buddha told Ananda: 'The one who is purely complete and fully possesses the holy life refers to a good teacher. Why is that? Because I, as a good teacher, cause beings to cultivate right view, relying on detachment, relying on non-desire, relying on cessation, and tending towards relinquishment, and even to cultivate right concentration, relying on detachment, relying on non-desire, relying on cessation, and tending towards relinquishment.'


。」

佛說此經已,尊者阿難聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七六九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。爾時,尊者阿難晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。

時,有生聞婆羅門乘白馬車,眾多年少翼從,白馬、白車、白控、白鞭,頭著白帽、白傘蓋,手執白拂,著白衣服、白瓔珞,白香涂身,翼從皆白,出舍衛城,欲至林中教授讀誦,眾人見之咸言:「善乘!善乘!謂婆羅門乘。」

時,尊者阿難見婆羅門眷屬、眾具一切皆白,見已,入城乞食。還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!今日晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,見生聞婆羅門乘白馬車,眷屬、眾具一切皆白,眾人唱言:『善乘!善乘!謂婆羅門乘。』云何?世尊!于正法、律,為是世人乘?為是婆羅門乘?」

佛告阿難:「是世人乘,非我法、律婆羅門乘也。阿難!我正法、律乘、天乘、婆羅門乘、大乘,能調伏煩惱軍者,諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。阿難!何等為正法、律乘、天乘、婆羅門乘、大乘,能調伏煩惱軍者?謂八正道——正見乃至正定。阿難!是名正法、律乘、天乘、梵乘、大乘,能調伏煩惱軍者

現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地接受並實行。 現代漢語譯本:(七六九) 現代漢語譯本:我是這樣聽說的: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,尊者阿難早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。 現代漢語譯本:當時,有個名叫生聞的婆羅門,乘坐著白馬車,許多年輕人跟隨著他,白馬、白車、白韁繩、白鞭子,頭上戴著白帽子、白傘蓋,手裡拿著白拂塵,穿著白衣服、白瓔珞,身上塗著白香,跟隨的人也都穿著白色衣服。他從舍衛城出來,想要到樹林中去教授和誦讀。眾人看見他都說:『好車!好車!』指的是婆羅門的座駕。 現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者阿難看見婆羅門的眷屬和所有器具都是白色的,看完后,就進城乞食。回到精舍,放下衣缽,洗完腳后,前往佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!今天早上我穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食,看見生聞婆羅門乘坐白馬車,眷屬和所有器具都是白色的,眾人喊道:『好車!好車!』指的是婆羅門的座駕。』世尊,在正法和戒律中,這算是世人的座駕,還是婆羅門的座駕呢?』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴阿難:『這是世人的座駕,不是我正法和戒律中的婆羅門座駕。阿難!我正法和戒律的座駕,天人的座駕,婆羅門的座駕,大乘的座駕,能夠調伏煩惱的軍隊。你仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。阿難!什麼是正法和戒律的座駕,天人的座駕,婆羅門的座駕,大乘的座駕,能夠調伏煩惱的軍隊呢?那就是八正道——正見乃至正定。阿難!這被稱為正法和戒律的座駕,天人的座駕,梵天的座駕,大乘的座駕,能夠調伏煩惱的軍隊。』

English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. English version: (769) English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, Venerable Ananda, in the morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered Sravasti to beg for alms. English version: At that time, there was a Brahmin named Sravana, riding in a white horse-drawn carriage, with many young people following him. The horse, the carriage, the reins, and the whip were all white. He wore a white hat and a white parasol, held a white whisk, wore white clothes and white ornaments, and his body was smeared with white fragrance. All his followers were also dressed in white. He was leaving Sravasti, intending to go to the forest to teach and recite. The people, seeing him, all said, 'A fine carriage! A fine carriage!' referring to the Brahmin's vehicle. English version: At that time, Venerable Ananda, seeing that the Brahmin's retinue and all his equipment were white, having seen this, entered the city to beg for alms. Returning to the monastery, he put down his robes and bowl, washed his feet, and went to where the Buddha was. He bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, then sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! This morning, having put on my robes and taken my bowl, I entered Sravasti to beg for alms. I saw the Brahmin Sravana riding in a white horse-drawn carriage, with his retinue and all his equipment being white. The people were shouting, 'A fine carriage! A fine carriage!' referring to the Brahmin's vehicle. World Honored One, in the Right Dharma and Discipline, is this considered a vehicle of the world or a vehicle of the Brahmin?' English version: The Buddha said to Ananda, 'This is a vehicle of the world, not a Brahmin's vehicle in my Right Dharma and Discipline. Ananda! The vehicle of my Right Dharma and Discipline, the vehicle of the Devas, the vehicle of the Brahmins, the Great Vehicle, is capable of subduing the army of afflictions. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. Ananda! What is the vehicle of the Right Dharma and Discipline, the vehicle of the Devas, the vehicle of the Brahmins, the Great Vehicle, that is capable of subduing the army of afflictions? It is the Noble Eightfold Path—Right View to Right Concentration. Ananda! This is called the vehicle of the Right Dharma and Discipline, the vehicle of the Devas, the vehicle of Brahma, the Great Vehicle, that is capable of subduing the army of afflictions.'


。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「信戒為法軛,  慚愧為長縻,  正念善護持,  以為善御者,  舍三昧為轅,  智慧精進輪,  無著忍辱鎧,  安隱如法行,  直進不退還,  永之無憂處,  智士乘戰車,  摧伏無智怨。」

(七七〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「應離邪見,應斷邪見,若邪見不可斷者,我終不說應離、斷邪見。以邪見可斷故,我說比丘當離邪見。若不離邪見者,邪見當作非義不饒益苦,是故我說當離邪見。如是邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定亦如是說。

「諸比丘!離邪見已,當修正見,若不得修正見者,我終不說修習正見。以得修正見故,我說比丘應修正見。若不修正見者,當作非義不饒益苦,以不修正見,作非義不饒益苦故,是故我說當修正見,以義饒益,常得安樂。是故,比丘!當修正見。如是正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定亦如是說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七七一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊即說偈語: 『信仰和戒律是法的軛,慚愧是長長的韁繩, 正念善於守護和保持,作為優秀的駕馭者, 捨棄三昧作為車轅,智慧和精進是車輪, 無執著的忍辱是鎧甲,安穩地如法而行, 直接前進不退縮,永遠到達無憂的境地, 有智慧的人乘坐戰車,摧毀無知的怨敵。』

(七七〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當舍離邪見,應當斷除邪見。如果邪見不能斷除,我終究不會說應當舍離、斷除邪見。因為邪見可以斷除,所以我說比丘應當舍離邪見。如果不捨離邪見,邪見會帶來非義、無益的痛苦,因此我說應當舍離邪見。同樣的,邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定也應當這樣說。』

『諸位比丘!舍離邪見后,應當修習正見。如果不能修習正見,我終究不會說修習正見。因為能夠修習正見,所以我說比丘應當修習正見。如果不修習正見,會帶來非義、無益的痛苦。因為不修習正見,會帶來非義、無益的痛苦,所以我說應當修習正見,以獲得利益和安樂。因此,比丘們!應當修習正見。同樣的,正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定也應當這樣說。』

佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七七一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'Faith and precepts are the yoke of the Dharma, shame is the long rein, Right mindfulness is good at guarding and maintaining, acting as a good charioteer, Abandoning samadhi as the axle, wisdom and diligence are the wheels, Non-attachment and patience are the armor, walking peacefully in accordance with the Dharma, Going straight forward without retreating, reaching the place of eternal freedom from worry, The wise person rides the chariot, destroying the ignorant enemies.'

(770)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.

At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'One should abandon wrong views, one should cut off wrong views. If wrong views could not be cut off, I would not say that one should abandon or cut off wrong views. Because wrong views can be cut off, I say that monks should abandon wrong views. If one does not abandon wrong views, wrong views will bring about non-righteous, unbeneficial suffering, therefore I say one should abandon wrong views. Likewise, wrong intention, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong concentration should also be spoken of in this way.'

'Monks! Having abandoned wrong views, one should cultivate right views. If one cannot cultivate right views, I would not say to cultivate right views. Because one can cultivate right views, I say that monks should cultivate right views. If one does not cultivate right views, it will bring about non-righteous, unbeneficial suffering. Because not cultivating right views brings about non-righteous, unbeneficial suffering, therefore I say one should cultivate right views, in order to obtain benefit and happiness. Therefore, monks! One should cultivate right views. Likewise, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration should also be spoken of in this way.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(771)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.


時,有生聞婆羅門來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞,問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!謂非彼岸及彼岸。瞿曇!云何非彼岸?云何彼岸?」

佛告婆羅門:「邪見者,非彼岸。正見者,是彼岸。邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定非彼岸。正見是彼岸,正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定是彼岸。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「希有諸人民,  能度于彼岸,  一切諸世間,  徘徊游此岸。  於此正法律,  能善隨順者,  斯等能度彼,  生死難度岸。」

時,生聞婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起去。

(七七二~四)

如是,異比丘問尊者阿難、問佛、問諸比丘,此三經亦如上說。

(七七五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「于內法中,我不見一法能令未生惡不善法生,已生者重生令增廣,如說不正思惟者。諸比丘!不正思惟者,未起邪見令起,已起重生令增廣。如是邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定亦如是說。

「諸比丘!于內法中,我不見一法令未生惡不善法不生,已生惡不善法令滅,如說正思惟者

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位名叫生聞的婆羅門來到佛陀所在的地方,與世尊互相問候,表達慰問之情。問候慰勞完畢后,他退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇啊!人們說有彼岸和非彼岸。瞿曇啊!什麼是非彼岸?什麼是彼岸?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『邪見是非彼岸,正見是彼岸。邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定是非彼岸。正見是彼岸,正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定是彼岸。』 當時,世尊說了這樣的偈語:『世間稀有的人們,能夠度過彼岸,一切世間的人們,都在此岸徘徊遊蕩。對於這正法,能夠善於隨順的人,他們能夠度過彼岸,這生死難以度過的岸。』 當時,生聞婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去。 (七七二~四) 像這樣,有位比丘問尊者阿難,問佛陀,問其他比丘,這三部經也像上面所說的那樣。 (七七五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『在內心法中,我沒有看到有一種法能夠使未生的惡不善法產生,已生的惡不善法更加增長,就像不正思惟那樣。諸位比丘!不正思惟會使未起的邪見產生,已起的邪見更加增長。邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定也是這樣說的。』 『諸位比丘!在內心法中,我沒有看到有一種法能夠使未生的惡不善法不產生,已生的惡不善法滅除,就像正思惟那樣。』

English version: At that time, a Brahmin named Sheng Wen came to where the Buddha was, greeted the World Honored One, and expressed his regards. After the greetings and regards were completed, he retreated to one side and said to the Buddha: 'Gautama! People speak of the other shore and the non-other shore. Gautama! What is the non-other shore? What is the other shore?' The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'Wrong view is the non-other shore, right view is the other shore. Wrong intention, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, wrong concentration are the non-other shore. Right view is the other shore, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration are the other shore.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 'Rare are the people who can cross to the other shore, all the people in the world wander on this shore. Those who can follow this righteous Dharma well, they can cross to the other shore, the shore of birth and death that is difficult to cross.' At that time, the Brahmin Sheng Wen, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, and rose from his seat and departed. (772-4) In this way, a certain bhikkhu asked the Venerable Ananda, asked the Buddha, and asked other bhikkhus. These three sutras are also as described above. (775) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Among internal phenomena, I do not see a single phenomenon that can cause unarisen evil unwholesome phenomena to arise, and arisen ones to increase and expand, like wrong thinking. Bhikkhus! Wrong thinking causes unarisen wrong views to arise, and arisen wrong views to increase and expand. The same is said of wrong intention, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong concentration.' 'Bhikkhus! Among internal phenomena, I do not see a single phenomenon that can prevent unarisen evil unwholesome phenomena from arising, and cause arisen evil unwholesome phenomena to cease, like right thinking.'


。諸比丘!正思惟者,未生邪見令不生,已生者令滅,如邪見,邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定亦如是說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

English version: 'Monks! For one who is rightly thinking, unarisen wrong views do not arise, and arisen ones are abandoned. Just like wrong views, so it is with wrong intentions, wrong speech, wrong actions, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong concentration.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings.

(776) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'Among internal phenomena, I do not see a single phenomenon that causes unarisen wholesome phenomena not to arise and arisen wholesome phenomena to decline, like wrong thinking. Monks! For one who is wrongly thinking, unarisen right view does not arise, and arisen right view declines. Similarly, unarisen right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration do not arise, and arisen ones decline.' 'Monks! Among internal phenomena, I do not see a single phenomenon that causes unarisen wholesome phenomena to arise and arisen wholesome phenomena to be reborn and increase, like right thinking. Monks! For one who is rightly thinking, unarisen right view arises, and arisen right view is reborn and increases.

English version: If unarisen evil intentions, evil speech, evil actions, evil livelihoods, evil means, evil thoughts, and evil concentration arise, let them arise; if they have already arisen, let them arise again and expand; if unarisen right intentions, right speech, right actions, right livelihoods, right means, right thoughts, and right concentration do not arise, let them not arise; if they have already arisen, let them diminish. 'Monks!' In the internal Dharma, I do not see a single thing that can prevent unarisen evil and unwholesome states from arising, cause arisen evil and unwholesome states to cease, cause unarisen wholesome states to arise, and cause arisen wholesome states to arise again and expand, like what is said about right thinking. 'Monks!' Right thinking can prevent unarisen wrong views from arising, cause arisen wrong views to cease, cause unarisen right views to arise, and cause arisen right views to arise again and expand. Similarly, it can prevent unarisen evil intentions, evil speech, evil actions, evil livelihoods, evil means, evil thoughts, and evil concentration from arising, and cause those that have arisen to cease; it can cause unarisen right intentions, right speech, right actions, right livelihoods, right means, right thoughts, and right concentration to arise, and cause those that have arisen to arise again and expand.'

English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. Just as it is said about wrong view and right view, similarly, wrong intention and right intention, wrong speech and right speech, wrong action and right action, wrong livelihood and right livelihood, wrong effort and right effort, wrong mindfulness and right mindfulness, wrong concentration and right concentration—these seven sutras are as described above. Just like the eight internal sutras, the eight external sutras are also described in the same way. (782) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'There are things that are not-Dhamma and things that are Dhamma. Listen carefully, reflect well, and I will explain it to you. What are not-Dhamma and what are Dhamma? Wrong view is not-Dhamma, right view is Dhamma, and so on, up to wrong concentration is not-Dhamma, right concentration is Dhamma.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. Just as with not-Dhamma and Dhamma, so too with not-Vinaya and Vinaya, not-holy and holy, unwholesome things and wholesome things, not-practiced things and practiced things, not-good things and good things, dark things and bright things, not-meaning and right meaning, inferior things and superior things, blameworthy things and blameless things, things to be abandoned and things not to be abandoned—each sutra is as described above. (783) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Ghosita's Park in Kosambi. At that time, the venerable Ananda was also dwelling there. A certain brahmin came to the venerable Ananda, and after exchanging greetings and courtesies with the venerable Ananda, he sat down to one side and said to the venerable Ananda: 'I wish to ask some questions; is there time for you to explain them to me?' Ananda replied: 'Ask whatever you wish; I will answer what I know.'

復問:「斷何等?」

答言:「貪慾斷,瞋恚、愚癡斷。」

又問:「阿難!有道有跡,能斷貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡耶?」

阿難答言:「有,謂八聖道,正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有邪、有正。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。何等為邪?謂邪見,乃至邪定。何等為正?謂正見,乃至正定。何等為正見?謂說有施、有說、有齋,有善行、有惡行,有善惡行果報,有此世、有他世,有父母、有眾生生,有阿羅漢善到、善向,有此世、他世自知作證具足住:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有

現代漢語譯本 婆羅門問道:『尊者阿難!你為何在沙門瞿曇那裡出家修行梵行?』 阿難回答說:『婆羅門!是爲了斷除。』 又問:『斷除什麼?』 回答說:『斷除貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡。』 又問:『阿難!有道路有方法,能夠斷除貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡嗎?』 阿難回答說:『有,就是八聖道,正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定。』 婆羅門說:『阿難!這真是賢妙的道路!賢妙的方法!修習並多次修習,能夠斷除這些貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡。』 尊者阿難說這些法的時候,那位婆羅門聽了他說的話,歡喜隨喜,從座位上起身離開了。 像斷除貪、瞋、癡一樣。像這樣調伏貪、瞋、癡,以及獲得涅槃,以及厭離,以及不趨向涅槃,以及沙門的意義,以及婆羅門的意義,以及解脫,以及苦的斷除,以及究竟苦的邊際,以及正確地滅盡苦,每一部經都像上面所說的那樣。 (七八四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『有邪的,有正的。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。什麼是邪的?就是邪見,乃至邪定。什麼是正的?就是正見,乃至正定。什麼是正見?就是說有佈施、有供養、有齋戒,有善行、有惡行,有善惡行為的果報,有此世、有他世,有父母、有眾生生,有阿羅漢善於到達、善於趨向,有此世、他世自己知道作證具足而住:『我生已經盡了,梵行已經建立,該做的已經做了,自己知道不再有後世。』

English version The Brahmin asked: 'Venerable Ananda! Why did you leave home and practice the holy life under the ascetic Gautama?' Ananda replied: 'Brahmin! It is for the sake of abandoning.' He asked again: 'Abandoning what?' He replied: 'Abandoning greed, hatred, and delusion.' He asked again: 'Ananda! Is there a path, a way, that can abandon greed, hatred, and delusion?' Ananda replied: 'Yes, there is, namely the Noble Eightfold Path: right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.' The Brahmin said: 'Ananda! How excellent is this path! How excellent is this way! By practicing and repeatedly practicing, one can abandon these greed, hatred, and delusion.' When Venerable Ananda spoke these teachings, that Brahmin, having heard what he said, rejoiced and was pleased, and rose from his seat and departed. Just as with abandoning greed, hatred, and delusion. In the same way, subduing greed, hatred, and delusion, and attaining Nirvana, and detachment, and not tending towards Nirvana, and the meaning of an ascetic, and the meaning of a Brahmin, and liberation, and the cessation of suffering, and the ultimate end of suffering, and the correct extinguishing of suffering, each sutra is as described above. (784) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks: 'There is wrong, and there is right. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. What is wrong? It is wrong view, and so on up to wrong concentration. What is right? It is right view, and so on up to right concentration. What is right view? It is to say there is giving, there is offering, there is sacrifice, there is good conduct, there is bad conduct, there are results of good and bad conduct, there is this world, there is the next world, there are parents, there are beings born, there are Arhats who have reached well, who are well-directed, who in this world and the next know for themselves, having realized and attained: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done has been done, and I know for myself that there is no more future existence.』'

現代漢語譯本 什麼是正定世俗、有漏、有取,轉向善趣?如果內心安住不亂、不動、攝受、寂止、三昧、一心,這就稱為正定世俗、有漏、有取,轉向善趣。什麼是正定是聖、出世間、無漏、不取,真正滅盡苦,轉向苦的盡頭?就是聖弟子對苦進行苦的思惟,對集、滅、道進行道的思惟,與無漏思惟相應的心法安住,不亂、不散、攝受、寂止、三昧、一心,這就稱為正定是聖、出世間、無漏、不取,真正滅盡苦,轉向苦的盡頭。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (七八六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘的心傾向於邪,就會違背佛法,不樂於佛法;如果傾向於正,內心就會樂於佛法,不違背佛法。什麼是邪?就是邪見,乃至邪定。什麼是正?就是正見,乃至正定。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (七八七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『傾向於邪的人會違背佛法,不樂於佛法;傾向於正的人會樂於佛法,不違背佛法。什麼是傾向於邪的人會違背佛法,不樂於佛法?就是邪見的人,他的身業如他所見,口業如他所見,他的思、欲、愿、行為,都隨順他的邪見,一切都得到不喜愛的果報,不念、不可意的果報。為什麼呢?因為他的見解是錯誤的,就是邪見。'

English version What is right concentration that is worldly, defiled, clinging, and leads to a good destination? If the mind dwells without agitation, without wavering, collected, calmed, in samadhi, with one-pointedness, this is called right concentration that is worldly, defiled, clinging, and leads to a good destination. What is right concentration that is noble, transcendent, undefiled, non-clinging, truly ending suffering, and leading to the end of suffering? It is when a noble disciple contemplates suffering as suffering, contemplates the origin, cessation, and path as the path, and the mind, along with undefiled contemplation, dwells without agitation, without scattering, collected, calmed, in samadhi, with one-pointedness. This is called right concentration that is noble, transcendent, undefiled, non-clinging, truly ending suffering, and leading to the end of suffering. Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's words. (786) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'If a bhikkhu's mind is inclined towards wrong, he is in opposition to the Dhamma and does not delight in the Dhamma; if it is inclined towards right, his mind delights in the Dhamma and is not in opposition to the Dhamma. What is wrong? It is wrong view, and so on, up to wrong concentration. What is right? It is right view, and so on, up to right concentration.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's words. (787) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'One who is inclined towards wrong is in opposition to the Dhamma and does not delight in the Dhamma; one who is inclined towards right delights in the Dhamma and is not in opposition to the Dhamma. What is it to be inclined towards wrong, in opposition to the Dhamma, and not delighting in the Dhamma? It is when a person with wrong view, his bodily actions are as he sees, his verbal actions are as he sees, his thoughts, desires, wishes, and actions all follow his wrong view, and he obtains results that are not liked, not remembered, and not pleasing. Why is that? Because his view is evil, that is, wrong view.'


。邪見者,起邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定,是向邪者違於法,不樂於法。

「何等為向正者樂於法,不違於法?謂正見人若身業隨所見,若口業、若思、若欲、若愿、若為,悉皆隨順,得可愛、可念、可意果。所以者何?以見正故?謂正見。正見者,能起正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,是名向正者樂於法,不違於法。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七八八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「向邪者違於法,不樂於法,向正者樂於法,不違於法。

「何等為向邪者違於法,不樂於法?若邪見人身業如所見,口業如所見,若思、若欲、若愿、若為、彼皆隨順,一切得不愛果,不念、不可意果。所以者何?惡見?謂邪見。邪見者,起邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定。譬如苦果,種著地中,隨時溉灌,彼得地味、水味、火味、風味,一切悉苦。所以者何?以種苦故。如是邪見人,身業如所見,口業如所見,若思、若欲、若愿、若為,悉皆隨順,彼一切得不愛、不念、不可意果。所以者何?惡見者?謂邪見

現代漢語譯本:持有邪見的人,會產生邪惡的志向、邪惡的言語、邪惡的行為、邪惡的謀生方式、邪惡的努力、邪惡的念頭和邪惡的禪定。這樣走向邪道的人是違背佛法的,不樂於佛法。 現代漢語譯本:『那麼,什麼樣的人是走向正道並樂於佛法,不違背佛法的呢?』 具有正見的人,如果他的身業、口業、思想、慾望、願望和行為都與他的正見相符,那麼他會得到可愛、可念、可意的結果。這是為什麼呢?因為他持有正見。所謂正見,是指能夠產生正當的志向、正當的言語、正當的行為、正當的謀生方式、正當的努力、正當的念頭和正當的禪定。這樣走向正道的人是樂於佛法,不違背佛法的。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 現代漢語譯本:(七八八) 現代漢語譯本:我是這樣聽說的: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 現代漢語譯本:那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『走向邪道的人是違背佛法的,不樂於佛法;走向正道的人是樂於佛法的,不違背佛法。』 現代漢語譯本:『什麼樣的人是走向邪道並違背佛法,不樂於佛法的呢?』 如果一個持有邪見的人,他的身業、口業、思想、慾望、願望和行為都與他的邪見相符,那麼他會得到不可愛、不可念、不可意的結果。這是為什麼呢?因為他持有惡見,也就是邪見。持有邪見的人,會產生邪惡的志向、邪惡的言語、邪惡的行為、邪惡的謀生方式、邪惡的努力、邪惡的念頭和邪惡的禪定。這就好比種下苦果的種子,無論何時澆灌,它都會吸收地、水、火、風的味道,一切都是苦的。這是為什麼呢?因為種下的是苦的種子。同樣,持有邪見的人,如果他的身業、口業、思想、慾望、願望和行為都與他的邪見相符,那麼他會得到不可愛、不可念、不可意的結果。這是為什麼呢?因為他持有惡見,也就是邪見。

English version: Those with wrong views give rise to wrong aspirations, wrong speech, wrong actions, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong concentration. Such a person who is inclined towards wrongness is against the Dharma and does not delight in it. English version: 'What kind of person is inclined towards rightness, delights in the Dharma, and does not go against it?' If a person with right view, their bodily actions, verbal actions, thoughts, desires, wishes, and deeds all align with their right view, then they will obtain results that are lovely, desirable, and pleasing. Why is this so? Because they hold right view. Right view is the ability to give rise to right aspirations, right speech, right actions, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. Such a person who is inclined towards rightness delights in the Dharma and does not go against it.' English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them. English version: (788) English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'Those who are inclined towards wrongness go against the Dharma and do not delight in it; those who are inclined towards rightness delight in the Dharma and do not go against it.' English version: 'What kind of person is inclined towards wrongness, goes against the Dharma, and does not delight in it?' If a person with wrong views, their bodily actions, verbal actions, thoughts, desires, wishes, and deeds all align with their wrong views, then they will obtain results that are unlovely, undesirable, and displeasing. Why is this so? Because they hold evil views, which are wrong views. Those with wrong views give rise to wrong aspirations, wrong speech, wrong actions, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong concentration. It is like planting a seed of a bitter fruit in the ground; no matter when it is watered, it will absorb the flavors of earth, water, fire, and wind, and everything will be bitter. Why is this so? Because a bitter seed was planted. Similarly, if a person with wrong views, their bodily actions, verbal actions, thoughts, desires, wishes, and deeds all align with their wrong views, then they will obtain results that are unlovely, undesirable, and displeasing. Why is this so? Because they hold evil views, which are wrong views.'


。邪見者,能起邪志,乃至邪定,是名向邪者違於法,不樂於法。

「何等為向正者樂於法,不違於法?若正見人身業如所見,口業如所見,若思、若欲、若為,悉皆隨順,彼一切得可愛、可念、可意果。所以者何?善見謂正見,正見者能起正志,乃至正定。譬如甘蔗、稻、麥、蒲桃種著地中,隨時溉灌,彼得地味、水味、火味、風味,彼一切味悉甜美。所以者何?以種子甜故。如是正見人,身業如所見,口業如所見,若思、若欲、若愿、若為,悉皆隨順,彼一切得可愛、可念、可意果。所以者何?善見者?謂正見。正見者,能起正志,乃至正定,是名向正者樂於法,不違於法。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

世間、出世間亦如是說,如上三經,亦皆說偈言:

「鄙法不應近,  放逸不應行,  不應習邪見,  增長於世間,  假使有世間,  正見增上者,  雖復百千生,  終不墮惡趣。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(七八九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:持有邪見的人,會產生錯誤的意向,乃至錯誤的禪定,這被稱為走向邪道的人,他們違背佛法,不樂於佛法。 現代漢語譯本:『什麼樣的人是走向正道,樂於佛法,不違背佛法呢?』如果一個具有正見的人,他的身業、口業都如他所見的那樣,他的思想、慾望、行為,都順應正道,那麼他的一切行為都會得到可愛、可念、可意的結果。這是為什麼呢?因為正確的見解被稱為正見,而具有正見的人能夠產生正確的意向,乃至正確的禪定。這就好比甘蔗、稻子、麥子、葡萄等種子種在土地裡,並適時澆灌,它們會吸收土地的養分、水分、火的能量、風的能量,它們所吸收的一切味道都是甜美的。這是為什麼呢?因為種子本身是甜的。同樣,一個具有正見的人,他的身業、口業都如他所見的那樣,他的思想、慾望、願望、行為,都順應正道,那麼他的一切行為都會得到可愛、可念、可意的結果。這是為什麼呢?因為正確的見解被稱為正見。具有正見的人,能夠產生正確的意向,乃至正確的禪定,這被稱為走向正道的人,他們樂於佛法,不違背佛法。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 現代漢語譯本:世間法和出世間法也是這樣說的,就像上面三部經一樣,也都說了偈語: 現代漢語譯本:『卑劣的法不應該接近,放縱的行為不應該去做,不應該學習邪見,那樣會增長世間的煩惱。如果世間有人,正見不斷增長,即使經歷百千次輪迴,最終也不會墮入惡道。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 現代漢語譯本:(七八九) 現代漢語譯本:我是這樣聽說的: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: Those with wrong views give rise to wrong intentions, and even wrong concentration. These are called those who turn towards the wrong path, who go against the Dharma and do not delight in it. English version: 'What kind of person is it that turns towards the right path, delights in the Dharma, and does not go against it?' If a person with right view, their bodily actions and verbal actions are as they see them, and their thoughts, desires, and actions all follow the right path, then all their actions will yield results that are lovely, desirable, and pleasing. Why is this so? Because right understanding is called right view, and a person with right view can give rise to right intention, and even right concentration. It is like sugarcane, rice, wheat, and grape seeds planted in the ground, and watered in due time. They absorb the earth's essence, water's essence, fire's essence, and wind's essence, and all the flavors they absorb are sweet. Why is this so? Because the seeds themselves are sweet. Likewise, a person with right view, their bodily actions and verbal actions are as they see them, and their thoughts, desires, wishes, and actions all follow the right path, then all their actions will yield results that are lovely, desirable, and pleasing. Why is this so? Because right understanding is called right view. A person with right view can give rise to right intention, and even right concentration. These are called those who turn towards the right path, who delight in the Dharma and do not go against it.' English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. English version: The worldly and the transcendental are also spoken of in this way, just like the three sutras above, they also speak in verses: English version: 'Base teachings should not be approached, indulgent actions should not be done, wrong views should not be learned, as they increase worldly afflictions. If there are people in the world whose right view is constantly increasing, even if they go through hundreds of thousands of rebirths, they will ultimately not fall into evil realms.' English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. English version: (Seven, eight, nine) English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


時,有生聞婆羅門來詣佛所,稽首佛足,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!所謂正見者,何等為正見?」

佛告婆羅門:「正見有二種。有正見,世、俗,有漏、有取,轉向善趣;有正見,是聖、出世間,無漏、不取,正盡苦,轉向苦邊。何等為正見世、俗,有漏、有取,轉向善趣?謂正見有施、有說、有齋,乃至自知不受後有。婆羅門!是名正見世、俗,有漏、有取,向于善趣。婆羅門!何等為正見是聖、出世間,無漏、不取,正盡苦,轉向苦邊?謂聖弟子苦苦思惟,集、滅、道道思惟,無漏思惟相應,於法選擇,分別求覺,巧便黠慧觀察,是名正見是聖、出世間,無漏、不取,正盡苦,轉向苦邊。」

佛說此經已,生聞婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起去。

如正見,如是正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,一一經如上說。

(七九〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有邪及邪道,有正及正道。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。何等為邪?謂地獄、畜生、餓鬼。何等為邪道?謂邪見,乃至邪定。何等為正?謂人、天、涅槃。何等為正道?謂正見,乃至正定

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一個名叫生聞的婆羅門來到佛陀所在的地方,他向佛陀的腳行禮,與世尊面對面問候並慰問之後,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇!所謂正見,指的是什麼?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『正見有兩種。一種是世俗的、有漏的、有執取的正見,它導向善趣;另一種是聖者的、出世間的、無漏的、無執取的正見,它能真正地滅盡痛苦,導向苦的終結。什麼是世俗的、有漏的、有執取的、導向善趣的正見呢?就是認為佈施是存在的,說法是存在的,齋戒是存在的,乃至自己知道不會再有後世的生命。婆羅門!這被稱為世俗的、有漏的、有執取的、導向善趣的正見。婆羅門!什麼是聖者的、出世間的、無漏的、無執取的、能真正滅盡痛苦、導向苦的終結的正見呢?就是聖弟子對苦進行苦的思惟,對集、滅、道進行道的思惟,與無漏的思惟相應,在法中選擇,分別求覺,巧妙地運用智慧進行觀察。這被稱為聖者的、出世間的、無漏的、無執取的、能真正滅盡痛苦、導向苦的終結的正見。』 佛陀說完這部經后,生聞婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去。 如同正見一樣,正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,每一項的經文都如上面所說。 (七九〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有邪和邪道,有正和正道。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。什麼是邪?指的是地獄、畜生、餓鬼。什麼是邪道?指的是邪見,乃至邪定。什麼是正?指的是人、天、涅槃。什麼是正道?指的是正見,乃至正定。』

English version: At that time, a Brahmin named Sheng Wen came to where the Buddha was. He bowed at the Buddha's feet, exchanged greetings and pleasantries with the World Honored One, and then sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! What is meant by right view?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'There are two kinds of right view. There is right view that is worldly, defiled, and clinging, which leads to good destinies; and there is right view that is noble, transcendent, undefiled, and non-clinging, which truly ends suffering and leads to the cessation of suffering. What is worldly, defiled, clinging right view that leads to good destinies? It is the view that giving exists, that speaking exists, that fasting exists, and even knowing that one will not have a future life. Brahmin! This is called worldly, defiled, clinging right view that leads to good destinies. Brahmin! What is noble, transcendent, undefiled, non-clinging right view that truly ends suffering and leads to the cessation of suffering? It is when a noble disciple contemplates suffering as suffering, contemplates the origin, cessation, and path as the path, in accordance with undefiled contemplation, choosing in the Dharma, discerning and seeking enlightenment, skillfully using wisdom to observe. This is called noble, transcendent, undefiled, non-clinging right view that truly ends suffering and leads to the cessation of suffering.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Brahmin Sheng Wen, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised it, and then rose from his seat and departed. Just as with right view, so too with right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration, each sutra is as described above. (790) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'There are wrong and wrong paths, and there are right and right paths. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. What is wrong? It refers to hell, animals, and hungry ghosts. What is the wrong path? It refers to wrong view, and so on, up to wrong concentration. What is right? It refers to humans, gods, and Nirvana. What is the right path? It refers to right view, and so on, up to right concentration.'

Translated by Tripiṭaka Guṇabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

(797)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī.

At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'There are the Dharma of a Śramaṇa and the Fruits of a Śramaṇa. Listen attentively and contemplate well, and I will explain them to you. What is the Dharma of a Śramaṇa? It is the Noble Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration. What are the Fruits of a Śramaṇa? They are the Fruit of a Stream-Enterer, the Fruit of a Once-Returner, the Fruit of a Non-Returner, and the Fruit of an Arhat. What is the Fruit of a Stream-Enterer? It is the severing of the three fetters. What is the Fruit of a Once-Returner? It is the severing of the three fetters, and the weakening of greed, hatred, and delusion. What is the Fruit of a Non-Returner? It is the complete exhaustion of the five lower fetters. What is the Fruit of an Arhat? It is the complete and eternal exhaustion of greed, hatred, and delusion, and the complete and eternal exhaustion of all afflictions.'

Having spoken this discourse, the monks, hearing what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

English version: The distinction is: 『There are fruits of a 'shramana'. What are the fruits of a 'shramana'? They are the fruits of Srotapanna, Sakrdagamin, Anagamin, and Arhat.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (800) The Brahman's Dharma, the Brahman, the meaning of Brahman, and the fruit of Brahman are also like this. The Dharma of Brahmacharya, the practitioner of Brahmacharya, the meaning of Brahmacharya, and the fruit of Brahmacharya are also as described above. (801) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 『There are five things that greatly benefit the practice of mindfulness of breathing. What are the five? First, abiding in pure precepts, observing the rules of the Pratimoksha, having complete deportment and conduct, being fearful of even minor offenses, upholding and learning the precepts, this is called the first thing that greatly benefits the practice of mindfulness of breathing. Secondly, monks! Having few desires, few affairs, and few duties, this is called the second thing that greatly benefits the practice of mindfulness of breathing. Thirdly, monks! Knowing the measure of food, neither too much nor too little, not arising desire for food, diligently contemplating, this is called the third thing that greatly benefits the practice of mindfulness of breathing. Fourthly, monks! Not indulging in sleep during the early and late parts of the night, diligently contemplating, this is called the fourth thing that greatly benefits the practice of mindfulness of breathing. Fifthly, monks! Being in a secluded forest, away from all disturbances, this is called the fifth thing that greatly benefits the practice of mindfulness of breathing.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (802) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 『You should practice mindfulness of breathing.』


。若比丘修習安那般那念多修習者,得身止息及心止息,有覺有觀,寂滅、純一,明分想修習滿足。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八〇三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「修習安那般那念。若比丘修習安那般那念,多修習者,得身心止息,有覺有觀,寂滅、純一,明分想修習滿足。何等為修習安那般那念多修習已,身心止息,有覺有觀,寂滅、純一,明分想修習滿足?是比丘若依聚落、城邑止住,晨朝著衣持缽,入村乞食,善護其身,守諸根門,善繫心住。乞食已,還住處,舉衣缽,洗足已,或入林中、閑房、樹下,或空露地,端身正坐,繫念面前,斷世貪愛,離欲清凈,瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑斷,度諸疑惑,于諸善法心得決定。遠離五蓋煩惱於心,令慧力羸,為障礙分,不趣涅槃。念于內息,繫念善學,念于外息,繫念善學。息長息短,覺知一切身入息,於一切身入息善學,覺知一切身出息,於一切身出息善學。覺知一切身行息入息,於一切身行息入息善學,覺知一切身行息出息,於一切身行息出息善學

現代漢語譯本:如果比丘修習安那般那念並加以精進,就能獲得身心的平靜,達到有覺有觀、寂滅、純一的狀態,並圓滿修習明分想。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (八〇三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『要修習安那般那念。如果比丘修習安那般那念並加以精進,就能獲得身心的平靜,達到有覺有觀、寂滅、純一的狀態,並圓滿修習明分想。』 『如何修習安那般那念並加以精進,才能獲得身心的平靜,達到有覺有觀、寂滅、純一的狀態,並圓滿修習明分想呢?』 『這位比丘如果住在村落或城鎮,早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入村莊乞食,善於守護自己的身體,守住六根之門,善於繫住自己的心。乞食完畢,回到住處,收好衣缽,洗完腳后,或者進入樹林、安靜的房間、樹下,或者空曠的露天之地,端正身體坐好,將心念繫於面前,斷除世俗的貪愛,遠離慾望而清凈,斷除嗔恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑惑,超越一切疑惑,對於一切善法心生決定。遠離五蓋的煩惱,這些煩惱會使智慧的力量衰弱,成為障礙,不能趨向涅槃。』 『他專注于內在的呼吸,繫念並善於學習;專注于外在的呼吸,繫念並善於學習。呼吸長時,知道呼吸長;呼吸短時,知道呼吸短。覺知全身的入息,對於全身的入息善於學習;覺知全身的出息,對於全身的出息善於學習。覺知全身的呼吸活動,對於全身的呼吸活動善於學習;覺知全身的呼吸活動,對於全身的呼吸活動善於學習。』

English version: 'If a bhikkhu cultivates mindfulness of breathing and practices it frequently, he attains bodily and mental tranquility, with initial and sustained thought, peacefulness, singleness of mind, and the full cultivation of the perception of light.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. (803) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'Cultivate mindfulness of breathing. If a bhikkhu cultivates mindfulness of breathing and practices it frequently, he attains bodily and mental tranquility, with initial and sustained thought, peacefulness, singleness of mind, and the full cultivation of the perception of light.' 'How does one cultivate mindfulness of breathing and practice it frequently, so as to attain bodily and mental tranquility, with initial and sustained thought, peacefulness, singleness of mind, and the full cultivation of the perception of light?' 'If a bhikkhu dwells in a village or town, in the morning, having dressed and taken his bowl, he enters the village for alms, carefully guarding his body, restraining his senses, and keeping his mind well-focused. Having finished his alms round, he returns to his dwelling, puts away his robe and bowl, washes his feet, and then enters a forest, a quiet room, under a tree, or an open space. He sits down with his body erect, focusing his mind in front of him, abandoning worldly greed, being pure from desire, abandoning anger, drowsiness, restlessness, and doubt, overcoming all doubts, and having a firm conviction in all wholesome qualities. He abandons the five hindrances that defile the mind, weaken the power of wisdom, become obstacles, and do not lead to Nirvana.' 'He is mindful of the in-breath, mindful and well-trained; he is mindful of the out-breath, mindful and well-trained. When breathing long, he knows he is breathing long; when breathing short, he knows he is breathing short. He is aware of the whole body with the in-breath, well-trained in the whole body with the in-breath; he is aware of the whole body with the out-breath, well-trained in the whole body with the out-breath. He is aware of the whole body's breathing activity with the in-breath, well-trained in the whole body's breathing activity with the in-breath; he is aware of the whole body's breathing activity with the out-breath, well-trained in the whole body's breathing activity with the out-breath.'


。覺知喜,覺知樂,覺知心行,覺知心行息入息,于覺知心行息入息善學;覺知心行息出息,于覺知心行息出息善學。覺知心,覺知心悅,覺知心定,覺知心解脫入息,于覺知心解脫入息善學,覺知心解脫出息,于覺知心解脫出息善學,觀察無常,觀察斷,觀察無慾,觀察滅入息,于觀察滅入息善學;觀察滅出息,于觀察滅出息善學,是名修安那般那念,身止息、心止息,有覺有觀,寂滅、純一,明分想修習滿足。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八〇四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當修安那般那念。安那般那念修習多修習者,斷諸覺想。云何安那般那念修習多修習斷諸覺想?若比丘依止聚落、城邑住……」如上廣說,乃至「于出息滅善學,是名安那般那念修習多修習斷諸覺想。」

Perceiving the mind, perceiving the mind's joy, perceiving the mind's stability, perceiving the mind's liberation with the in-breath, training well in perceiving the mind's liberation with the in-breath, perceiving the mind's liberation with the out-breath, training well in perceiving the mind's liberation with the out-breath, observing impermanence, observing cessation, observing detachment, observing the cessation of the in-breath, training well in observing the cessation of the in-breath; observing the cessation of the out-breath, training well in observing the cessation of the out-breath, this is called the practice of mindfulness of breathing, the body is calmed, the mind is calmed, with awareness and investigation, peaceful, unified, the clear perception is fully developed. Having spoken this discourse, the monks were delighted and practiced the teachings of the Buddha. (804) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'You should practice mindfulness of breathing. Mindfulness of breathing, when practiced and cultivated, leads to the cessation of all thoughts. How does mindfulness of breathing, when practiced and cultivated, lead to the cessation of all thoughts? If a monk dwells in dependence on a village or town...' as described in detail above, up to 'training well in the cessation of the out-breath, this is called mindfulness of breathing, when practiced and cultivated, leads to the cessation of all thoughts.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks were delighted and practiced the teachings of the Buddha. Just as with the cessation of thoughts, so too, without wavering, one obtains great fruit and great benefit, thus one obtains the nectar, the ultimate nectar, one obtains the two fruits, the four fruits, the seven fruits, each discourse is as described above. (805) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「如我所說安那般那念,汝等修習不?」

時,有比丘名阿梨瑟吒,于眾中坐,即從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,右膝著地,合掌白佛言:「世尊!世尊所說安那般那念,我已修習。」

佛告阿梨瑟吒比丘:「汝云何修習我所說安那般那念?」

比丘白佛:「世尊!我於過去諸行不顧念,未來諸行不生欣樂,于現在諸行不生染著,于內外對礙想善正除滅。我已如是修世尊所說安那般那念。」

佛告阿梨瑟吒比丘:「汝實修我所說安那般那念,非不修,然其比丘于汝所修安那般那念所,更有勝妙過其上者。何等是勝妙過阿梨瑟吒所修安那般那念者?是比丘依止城邑、聚落……」如前廣說,乃至「于滅出息觀察善學,是名,阿梨瑟吒比丘!勝妙過汝所修安那般那念者。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八〇六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊于晨朝時著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,持尼師檀入安陀林,坐一樹下,晝日禪思。

時,尊者罽賓那亦晨朝時著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我所說的安那般那念,你們都修習了嗎?』 當時,有一位名叫阿梨瑟吒的比丘,在眾中坐著,他立即從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,右膝跪地,合掌對佛陀說:『世尊!世尊所說的安那般那念,我已經修習了。』 佛陀告訴阿梨瑟吒比丘:『你是如何修習我所說的安那般那唸的呢?』 比丘回答佛陀說:『世尊!我對於過去的諸行不加以顧念,對於未來的諸行不產生欣喜,對於現在的諸行不產生執著,對於內外對立的障礙想法都善加去除。我已經這樣修習了世尊所說的安那般那念。』 佛陀告訴阿梨瑟吒比丘:『你確實修習了我所說的安那般那念,並非沒有修習,但是,比丘對於你所修習的安那般那念,還有更殊勝美妙的境界。什麼才是比你阿梨瑟吒所修習的安那般那念更殊勝美妙的呢?那就是比丘依止城邑、村落……』(如前文廣說),乃至『對於滅盡的出息進行觀察和善巧學習,這才是,阿梨瑟吒比丘!比你所修習的安那般那念更殊勝美妙的。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (八〇六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊在早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著坐具進入安陀林,坐在一棵樹下,白天進行禪思。 當時,尊者罽賓那也在早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One said to the bhikkhus, 'Have you practiced the mindfulness of breathing, as I have taught?' Then, a bhikkhu named Arishta, who was sitting in the assembly, rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, bowed to the Buddha, knelt on his right knee, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! I have practiced the mindfulness of breathing as taught by the World Honored One.' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu Arishta, 'How have you practiced the mindfulness of breathing as I have taught?' The bhikkhu replied to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! I do not dwell on past actions, I do not rejoice in future actions, I do not cling to present actions, and I have well removed the thoughts of internal and external obstacles. I have practiced the mindfulness of breathing as taught by the World Honored One in this way.' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu Arishta, 'You have indeed practiced the mindfulness of breathing as I have taught, it is not that you have not practiced, but there is a more excellent and sublime state of mindfulness of breathing than what you have practiced. What is more excellent and sublime than the mindfulness of breathing practiced by Arishta? It is when a bhikkhu dwells in a city or village...' (as previously explained in detail), up to 'observing and skillfully learning the cessation of the out-breath, this is, bhikkhu Arishta! more excellent and sublime than the mindfulness of breathing you have practiced.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (806) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One, in the morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered the city of Shravasti to beg for alms. After eating, he returned to the monastery, put away his robes and bowl, washed his feet, took his sitting mat, entered the Andha Grove, and sat under a tree, meditating during the day. At that time, the Venerable Kimbila also, in the morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered the city of Shravasti to beg for alms.


。還,舉衣缽,洗足已,持尼師檀入安陀林,于樹下坐禪,去佛不遠,正身不動,身心正直,勝妙思惟。

爾時,眾多比丘晡時從禪覺,往詣佛所,稽首禮佛足,退坐一面。

佛語諸比丘:「汝等見尊者罽賓那不?去我不遠,正身端坐,身心不動,住勝妙住。」

諸比丘白佛:「世尊!我等數見彼尊者正身端坐,善攝其身,不傾不動,專心勝妙。」

佛告諸比丘:「若比丘修習三昧,身心安住,不傾不動,住勝妙住者,此比丘得此三昧,不勤方便,隨欲即得。」

諸比丘白佛:「何等三昧,比丘得此三昧,身心不動,住勝妙住?」

佛告諸比丘:「若比丘依止聚落,晨朝著衣持缽,入村乞食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,入林中,若閑房、露坐,思惟繫念,乃至息滅觀察善學,是名三昧,若比丘端坐思惟,身心不動,住勝妙住。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八〇七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住一奢能伽羅林中。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我欲二月坐禪,諸比丘勿復往來,唯除送食比丘及布薩時。」爾時,世尊作是語已,即二月坐禪,無一比丘敢往來者,唯除送食及布薩時

現代漢語譯本:他放下衣缽,洗完腳后,拿著坐具進入安陀林,在樹下坐禪,離佛不遠,身體端正不動,身心正直,進行殊勝的思惟。 當時,許多比丘在下午從禪定中醒來,前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。 佛陀對眾比丘說:『你們看到尊者罽賓那了嗎?他離我不遠,身體端正地坐著,身心不動,安住在殊勝的境界中。』 眾比丘對佛陀說:『世尊!我們經常看到那位尊者身體端正地坐著,善於攝持自身,不傾斜不動搖,專心於殊勝的境界。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘修習三昧,身心安住,不傾斜不動搖,安住在殊勝的境界中,那麼這位比丘得到這種三昧,無需勤奮方便,就能隨心所欲地獲得。』 眾比丘問佛陀:『是哪種三昧,比丘得到這種三昧,身心不動,安住在殊勝的境界中?』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘依止村落,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入村莊乞食完畢后,回到精舍,放下衣缽,洗完腳后,進入樹林,或者在空閑的房間、露天的地方,思惟繫念,乃至息滅觀察善法,這就叫做三昧。如果比丘端坐思惟,身心不動,安住在殊勝的境界中。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (八〇七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在一奢能伽羅林中。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我打算禪坐兩個月,眾比丘不要再來往,除非是送食物的比丘和布薩的時候。』當時,世尊說完這話,就禪坐了兩個月,沒有一個比丘敢來往,除非是送食物和布薩的時候。

English version: Then, he laid down his robes and bowl, washed his feet, took his sitting cloth, and entered the Andha forest. He sat in meditation under a tree, not far from the Buddha, with his body upright and still, his mind and body upright, engaged in sublime contemplation. At that time, many monks, having awakened from meditation in the afternoon, went to where the Buddha was, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to the monks, 'Have you seen the venerable Kimbila? He is not far from me, sitting upright, his body and mind still, abiding in a sublime state.' The monks said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, we have often seen that venerable one sitting upright, well-composed, without leaning or moving, focused on the sublime.' The Buddha told the monks, 'If a monk cultivates samadhi, his body and mind are settled, without leaning or moving, abiding in a sublime state, then this monk, having attained this samadhi, without effort or contrivance, can obtain it at will.' The monks asked the Buddha, 'What kind of samadhi is it that, when a monk attains it, his body and mind are still, abiding in a sublime state?' The Buddha told the monks, 'If a monk relies on a village, in the morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, enters the village for alms, and having returned to the monastery, lays down his robes and bowl, washes his feet, and enters the forest, or a secluded room, or sits in the open, contemplating and focusing his mind, even to the cessation of observation and the skillful learning, this is called samadhi. If a monk sits in meditation, his body and mind still, abiding in a sublime state.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (807) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Isanagara forest. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'I wish to meditate for two months. Monks, do not come and go, except for the monk who brings food and during the Uposatha.' At that time, the World-Honored One, having spoken these words, meditated for two months, and not a single monk dared to come and go, except for the one who brought food and during the Uposatha.


爾時,世尊坐禪二月過已,從禪覺,于比丘僧前坐,告諸比丘:「若諸外道出家來問汝等:『沙門瞿曇於二月中雲何坐禪?』汝應答言:『如來二月以安那般那念坐禪思惟住。』所以者何?我於此二月念安那般那,多住思惟,入息時念入息如實知,出息時念出息如實知。若長若短,一切身覺入息念如實知,一切身覺出息念如實知。身行休息入息念如實知,乃至滅出息念如實知。我悉知已,我時作是念:『此則粗思惟住,我今於此思惟止息已,當更修余微細修住而住。』

「爾時,我息止粗思惟已,即更入微細思惟,多住而住。時,有三天子,極上妙色,過夜來至我所。一天子作是言:『沙門瞿曇時到。』復有一天子言:『此非時到,是時向至。』第三天子言:『非為時到,亦非時向至,此則修住,是阿羅訶寂滅耳!』」

佛告諸比丘:「若有正說,聖住、天住、梵住、學住、無學住、如來住,學人所不得當得,不到當到,不證當證,無學人現法樂住者,謂安那般那念,此則正說。所以者何?安那般那念者,是聖住、天住、梵住,乃至無學現法樂住。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八〇八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅越尼拘律樹園中

現代漢語譯本: 那時,世尊禪坐兩個月后,從禪定中醒來,坐在比丘僧眾前,告訴眾比丘:『如果有外道出家的人來問你們:『沙門瞿曇在兩個月中是如何禪坐的?』你們應該回答說:『如來兩個月以安那般那念(即入出息念)禪坐思惟。』為什麼呢?因為我在這兩個月里專注于安那般那,多加思惟,入息時念入息如實知,出息時念出息如實知。無論是長息還是短息,都如實知覺一切身體的感受,入息時如實知,出息時如實知。身體的活動停止時,入息時如實知,乃至出息停止時如實知。我完全瞭解這些之後,我當時這樣想:『這只是粗略的思惟狀態,我現在停止這種思惟,應當修習更微細的思惟狀態。』 『那時,我停止了粗略的思惟,就進入了更微細的思惟,並長時間安住其中。當時,有三位天子,容貌極其美妙,在夜晚來到我這裡。一位天子說:『沙門瞿曇,時間到了。』另一位天子說:『這不是時間到了,是時間快到了。』第三位天子說:『不是時間到了,也不是時間快到了,這只是修習的安住狀態,是阿羅漢的寂滅境界!』 佛告訴眾比丘:『如果有人正確地說,聖者的安住、天人的安住、梵天的安住、有學的安住、無學的安住、如來的安住,是學人所不能得到而將要得到,不能到達而將要到達,不能證得而將要證得,無學之人現世安樂的安住,那就是安那般那念,這是正確的說法。為什麼呢?因為安那般那念,是聖者的安住、天人的安住、梵天的安住,乃至無學之人現世安樂的安住。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (八〇八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在迦毗羅衛的尼拘律樹園中。

English version: At that time, the World-Honored One, having sat in meditation for two months, arose from meditation and sat before the assembly of monks, and said to the monks: 『If ascetics of other sects come and ask you: 『How did the ascetic Gautama meditate for two months?』 you should answer: 『The Tathagata meditated for two months dwelling in mindfulness of anapanasati (mindfulness of breathing).』 Why is that? Because during these two months, I focused on anapanasati, dwelling in much contemplation, knowing the in-breath as it is when breathing in, knowing the out-breath as it is when breathing out. Whether the breath is long or short, I truly know all bodily sensations, knowing the in-breath as it is, knowing the out-breath as it is. When bodily activity ceases, I know the in-breath as it is, and even when the out-breath ceases, I know it as it is. Having fully understood these, I then thought: 『This is merely a coarse state of contemplation; now, having ceased this contemplation, I should cultivate a more subtle state of dwelling.』 『Then, having ceased the coarse contemplation, I entered into a more subtle contemplation, dwelling in it for a long time. At that time, three devas, of extremely beautiful appearance, came to me during the night. One deva said: 『Ascetic Gautama, the time has come.』 Another deva said: 『This is not the time, but the time is approaching.』 The third deva said: 『It is neither the time nor is the time approaching; this is merely a state of dwelling in practice, it is the extinction of an Arhat!』』 The Buddha told the monks: 『If anyone correctly speaks of the noble dwelling, the deva dwelling, the Brahma dwelling, the dwelling of a learner, the dwelling of one beyond learning, the dwelling of the Tathagata, which a learner cannot attain but will attain, cannot reach but will reach, cannot realize but will realize, and the present-moment blissful dwelling of one beyond learning, that is mindfulness of anapanasati; this is the correct statement. Why is that? Because mindfulness of anapanasati is the noble dwelling, the deva dwelling, the Brahma dwelling, and even the present-moment blissful dwelling of one beyond learning.』 After the Buddha spoke this discourse, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (808) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Nigrodha Park in Kapilavastu.


爾時,釋氏摩訶男詣尊者迦磨比丘所,禮迦磨比丘足已,退坐一面,語迦磨比丘言:「云何?尊者迦磨!學住者為即是如來住耶?為學住異、如來住異?」

迦磨比丘答言:「摩訶男!學住異、如來住異。摩訶男!學住者,斷五蓋多住。如來住者,於五蓋已斷已知,斷其根本,如截多羅樹頭,更不生長,于未來世成不生法。

「一時,世尊住一奢能伽羅林中。爾時,世尊告諸比丘:『我欲於此一奢能伽羅林中二月坐禪,汝諸比丘勿使往來,唯除送食比丘及布薩時……』廣說如前,乃至『無學現法樂住。以是故知,摩訶男!學住異、如來住異。』」

釋氏摩訶男聞迦磨比丘所說歡喜,從座起去。

(八〇九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住金剛聚落跋求摩河側薩羅梨林中。

爾時,世尊為諸比丘說不凈觀,讚歎不凈觀言:「諸比丘修不凈觀,多修習者,得大果大福利。」

時,諸比丘修不凈觀已,極厭患身,或以刀自殺,或服毒藥,或繩自絞、投巖自殺,或令余比丘殺。

有異比丘極生厭患惡露不凈,至鹿林梵志子所,語鹿林梵志子言:「賢首!汝能殺我者,衣缽屬汝

現代漢語譯本 當時,釋迦族的摩訶男去拜訪尊者迦磨比丘,向迦磨比丘行禮后,退坐在一旁,對迦磨比丘說:『尊者迦磨,請問,修行者的住處就是如來的住處嗎?還是修行者的住處與如來的住處不同?』 迦磨比丘回答說:『摩訶男,修行者的住處與如來的住處不同。摩訶男,修行者的住處,是常常處於斷除五蓋的狀態。如來的住處,是對五蓋已經斷除並完全瞭解,斷除了它們的根本,就像砍斷了多羅樹的樹頭,不再生長,在未來世成為不生之法。 『有一次,世尊住在一奢能伽羅林中。當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我打算在這奢能伽羅林中坐禪兩個月,你們這些比丘不要來往,除了送食物的比丘和布薩的時候……』詳細內容如前所述,乃至『無學之人安住于現世的快樂。』因此可知,摩訶男,修行者的住處與如來的住處不同。』 釋迦族的摩訶男聽了迦磨比丘所說,非常歡喜,從座位上起身離開了。 (八〇九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在金剛聚落跋求摩河邊的薩羅梨林中。 當時,世尊為眾比丘講解不凈觀,讚歎不凈觀說:『諸位比丘,修習不凈觀,如果多加修習,就能得到很大的果報和很大的利益。』 當時,眾比丘修習不凈觀后,極其厭惡自己的身體,有的用刀自殺,有的服用毒藥,有的用繩子自縊、跳崖自殺,有的讓其他比丘殺死自己。 有一位比丘極其厭惡身體的污穢不凈,去到鹿林梵志子那裡,對鹿林梵志子說:『賢首,如果你能殺了我,我的衣缽就歸你。』

English version At that time, Mahānāma of the Shakyas went to the Venerable Kamma Bhikkhu, bowed to Kamma Bhikkhu's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to Kamma Bhikkhu: 'Venerable Kamma, is the dwelling of a learner the same as the dwelling of a Tathagata? Or is the dwelling of a learner different from the dwelling of a Tathagata?' Kamma Bhikkhu replied: 'Mahānāma, the dwelling of a learner is different from the dwelling of a Tathagata. Mahānāma, the dwelling of a learner is one where the five hindrances are often abandoned. The dwelling of a Tathagata is one where the five hindrances have been abandoned and fully understood, their roots cut off, like the top of a palmyra tree that has been severed, never to grow again, becoming a non-arising state in the future. 'Once, the Blessed One was dwelling in a Shāla forest. At that time, the Blessed One told the bhikkhus: 'I wish to meditate in this Shāla forest for two months. You bhikkhus should not come and go, except for the bhikkhu who brings food and during the Uposatha time...' as described before, up to 'the non-learner dwells in the present happiness.' Therefore, Mahānāma, the dwelling of a learner is different from the dwelling of a Tathagata.' Mahānāma of the Shakyas, hearing what Kamma Bhikkhu said, rejoiced and rose from his seat and departed. (809) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Salalī forest near the Bhaggumati River in the Vajra village. At that time, the Blessed One was teaching the bhikkhus about the contemplation of impurity, praising the contemplation of impurity, saying: 'Bhikkhus, those who practice the contemplation of impurity, if they practice it frequently, will obtain great fruit and great benefit.' At that time, the bhikkhus, having practiced the contemplation of impurity, became extremely disgusted with their bodies. Some killed themselves with knives, some took poison, some hanged themselves with ropes, some jumped off cliffs to kill themselves, and some had other bhikkhus kill them. One bhikkhu, extremely disgusted with the foul and impure nature of the body, went to the son of the Deer Forest Brahmin and said to the son of the Deer Forest Brahmin: 'Good sir, if you can kill me, my robe and bowl are yours.'


。」

時,鹿林梵志子即殺彼比丘,持刀至跋求摩河邊,洗刀時,有魔天住于空中,贊鹿林梵志子言:「善哉!善哉!賢首!汝得無量功德,能令諸沙門釋子持戒有德,未度者度,未脫者脫,未穌息者令得穌息,未涅槃者令得涅槃,諸長利衣缽雜物悉皆屬汝。」

時,鹿林梵志子聞讚歎已,增惡邪見,作是念:「我今真實大作福德,令沙門釋子持戒功德者,未度者度,未脫者脫,未穌息者令得穌息,未涅槃者令得涅槃,衣缽雜物悉皆屬我。」於是手執利刀,循諸房舍、諸經行處、別房、禪房,見諸比丘,作如是言:「何等沙門持戒有德,未度者我能令度,未脫者令脫,未穌息者令得穌息,未涅槃令得涅槃?」

時,有諸比丘厭患身者,皆出房舍,語鹿林梵志子言:「我未得度,汝當度我;我未得脫,汝當脫我;我未得穌息,汝當令我得穌息;我未得涅槃,汝當令我得涅槃。」

時,鹿林梵志子即以利刀殺彼比丘,次第,乃至殺六十人。

爾時,世尊至十五日說戒時,于眾僧前坐,告尊者阿難:「何因何緣諸比丘轉少、轉減、轉盡?」

阿難白佛言:「世尊為諸比丘說修不凈觀,讚歎不凈觀。諸比丘修不凈觀已,極厭患身……」廣說乃至「殺六十比丘

當時,鹿林梵志子就殺死了那個比丘,拿著刀到跋求摩河邊洗刀。這時,有個魔天停留在空中,讚歎鹿林梵志子說:『好啊!好啊!賢首!你獲得了無量的功德,能讓那些持戒有德的沙門釋子,使未得度的得到度脫,未得解脫的得到解脫,未得安息的得到安息,未得涅槃的得到涅槃,所有的長衣、缽盂和雜物都歸你所有。』 當時,鹿林梵志子聽到讚歎后,更加增長了邪惡的見解,心想:『我現在真是做了大功德,能讓那些持戒有德的沙門釋子,使未得度的得到度脫,未得解脫的得到解脫,未得安息的得到安息,未得涅槃的得到涅槃,衣缽雜物都歸我所有。』於是他手持利刀,在各個房舍、經行處、別室、禪房巡視,見到比丘就說:『哪個沙門持戒有德,未得度的我能讓他得度,未得解脫的我能讓他解脫,未得安息的我能讓他安息,未得涅槃的我能讓他涅槃?』 當時,有些厭惡身體的比丘,都走出房舍,對鹿林梵志子說:『我沒有得度,你應當度我;我沒有得解脫,你應當解脫我;我沒有得安息,你應當讓我得安息;我沒有得涅槃,你應當讓我得涅槃。』 當時,鹿林梵志子就用利刀殺死了那些比丘,一個接一個,甚至殺了六十人。 那時,世尊在十五日說戒時,坐在僧眾面前,告訴尊者阿難:『是什麼原因導致比丘們越來越少、越來越減、以至於消失殆盡?』 阿難稟告佛陀說:『世尊為比丘們講說修習不凈觀,讚歎不凈觀。比丘們修習不凈觀后,極其厭惡身體……』(此處省略)一直到『殺了六十個比丘』。

At that time, the ascetic Lulin's son killed that monk, and taking his knife, went to the bank of the Vakkumuda River to wash it. Then, a demon deva, dwelling in the sky, praised Lulin's son, saying: 'Well done! Well done! Virtuous one! You have gained immeasurable merit, able to cause those Shramana Shakya disciples who uphold the precepts and have virtue, to be delivered if they are not yet delivered, to be liberated if they are not yet liberated, to find rest if they have not yet found rest, and to attain Nirvana if they have not yet attained Nirvana. All the long robes, bowls, and miscellaneous items belong to you.' At that time, after hearing the praise, Lulin's son increased his evil and wrong views, thinking: 'I have now truly done great meritorious deeds, able to cause those Shramana Shakya disciples who uphold the precepts and have virtue, to be delivered if they are not yet delivered, to be liberated if they are not yet liberated, to find rest if they have not yet found rest, and to attain Nirvana if they have not yet attained Nirvana. The robes, bowls, and miscellaneous items all belong to me.' Thereupon, he held his sharp knife and went around the various dwellings, walking paths, separate rooms, and meditation rooms. Seeing the monks, he would say: 'Which Shramana upholds the precepts and has virtue? If they are not yet delivered, I can deliver them; if they are not yet liberated, I can liberate them; if they have not yet found rest, I can cause them to find rest; if they have not yet attained Nirvana, I can cause them to attain Nirvana?' At that time, some monks who were weary of their bodies all came out of their dwellings and said to Lulin's son: 'I have not been delivered, you should deliver me; I have not been liberated, you should liberate me; I have not found rest, you should cause me to find rest; I have not attained Nirvana, you should cause me to attain Nirvana.' At that time, Lulin's son then killed those monks with his sharp knife, one after another, even killing sixty people. Then, when the World Honored One was giving the precepts on the fifteenth day, he sat before the assembly of monks and said to the Venerable Ananda: 'What is the cause and reason that the monks are becoming fewer, decreasing, and eventually disappearing?' Ananda reported to the Buddha: 'The World Honored One spoke to the monks about practicing the contemplation of impurity, praising the contemplation of impurity. After the monks practiced the contemplation of impurity, they became extremely weary of their bodies...' (omitted) ...all the way to 'killed sixty monks.'


。世尊!以是因緣故,令諸比丘轉少、轉減、轉盡。唯愿世尊更說余法,令諸比丘聞已,勤修智慧,樂受正法,樂住正法。」

佛告阿難:「是故,我今次第說,住微細住,隨順開覺,已起、未起惡不善法速令休息,如天大雨,起、未起塵能令休息。如是,比丘!修微細住,諸起、未起惡不善法能令休息,阿難!何等為微細住多修習,隨順開覺,已起、未起惡不善法能令休息?謂安那般那念住。」

阿難白佛:「云何修習安那般那念住,隨順開覺,已起、未起惡不善法能令休息?」

佛告阿難:「若比丘依止聚落……」如前廣說,乃至「如滅出息念而學。」

佛說此經已,尊者阿難聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八一〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住金剛跋求摩河側薩羅梨林中

現代漢語譯本:世尊!因為這個緣故,導致眾比丘逐漸減少、衰退、乃至最終消失。唯愿世尊能夠再講說其他法門,讓眾比丘聽聞后,能夠勤奮修習智慧,樂於接受正法,樂於安住于正法之中。 佛陀告訴阿難:『因此,我現在依次講述,安住于微細的禪定,順應開悟,使已經生起和尚未生起的惡不善法迅速止息,就像天降大雨,能夠使已經揚起和尚未揚起的塵土止息一樣。』『比丘們!修習微細的禪定,能夠使已經生起和尚未生起的惡不善法止息。阿難!什麼叫做微細的禪定,通過多加修習,順應開悟,使已經生起和尚未生起的惡不善法止息呢?』『那就是安那般那唸的禪定。』 阿難問佛:『如何修習安那般那唸的禪定,順應開悟,使已經生起和尚未生起的惡不善法止息呢?』 佛陀告訴阿難:『如果比丘依止村落……』如同之前所廣說的,乃至『像滅盡出息的念頭那樣去學習。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (八一〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在金剛跋求摩河邊的薩羅梨樹林中。

English version: 'Venerable One! Because of this reason, the bhikkhus are becoming fewer, declining, and eventually disappearing. May the Venerable One please explain other teachings, so that the bhikkhus, having heard them, may diligently cultivate wisdom, delight in receiving the true Dharma, and delight in abiding in the true Dharma.' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'Therefore, I will now explain in sequence, abiding in subtle concentration, in accordance with enlightenment, quickly ceasing the evil and unwholesome states that have arisen and have not yet arisen, just as a great rain can cease the dust that has risen and has not yet risen. Thus, bhikkhus! By cultivating subtle concentration, the evil and unwholesome states that have arisen and have not yet arisen can be ceased. Ananda! What is subtle concentration, which, through much practice, is in accordance with enlightenment, and can cease the evil and unwholesome states that have arisen and have not yet arisen? It is mindfulness of breathing (anapanasati).' Ananda asked the Buddha, 'How does one cultivate mindfulness of breathing, in accordance with enlightenment, so as to cease the evil and unwholesome states that have arisen and have not yet arisen?' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'If a bhikkhu relies on a village...' as previously explained in detail, up to 'learning to be mindful of the cessation of the out-breath.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (810) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Salalī grove by the Vajrabakkuma River.


爾時,尊者阿難獨一靜處,思惟禪思,作如是念:「頗有一法,修習多修習,令四法滿足;四法滿足已,七法滿足;七法滿足已,二法滿足?」

時,尊者阿難從禪覺已,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我獨一靜處,思惟禪思,作是念:『頗有一法,多修習已,令四法滿足,乃至二法滿足?我今問世尊,寧有一法,多修習已,能令,乃至二法滿足耶?』」

佛告阿難:「有一法,多修習已,乃至能令二法滿足。何等為一法?謂安那般那念。多修習已,能令四念處滿足;四念處滿足已,七覺分滿足;七覺分滿足已,明、解脫滿足。云何修安那般那念,四念處滿足?是比丘依止聚落,乃至如滅出息念學。阿難!如是聖弟子入息念時如入息念學,出息念時如出息念學;若長若短,一切身行覺知,入息念時如入息念學,出息念時如出息念學;身行休息入息念時,如身行休息入息念學;身行休息出息念時,如身行休息出息念學。聖弟子爾時身身觀念住,異於身者,彼亦如是隨身比思惟。

「若有時聖弟子喜覺知,樂覺知,心行覺知,心行息覺知,入息念時如心行息入息念學,心行息出息念時如心行息出息念學。是聖弟子爾時受受觀念住,若復異受者,彼亦受隨身比思惟

現代漢語譯本 當時,尊者阿難獨自一人在安靜的地方,思考禪定,心中這樣想:『是否有一種法,通過修習和反覆修習,能使四法圓滿;四法圓滿后,能使七法圓滿;七法圓滿后,能使二法圓滿?』 這時,尊者阿難從禪定中醒來,前往佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我獨自一人在安靜的地方,思考禪定,心中這樣想:『是否有一種法,通過反覆修習,能使四法圓滿,乃至二法圓滿?』我現在請問世尊,是否有一種法,通過反覆修習,能夠使,乃至二法圓滿呢?』 佛陀告訴阿難:『有一種法,通過反覆修習,乃至能使二法圓滿。』什麼是一法呢?就是安那般那念(入出息念)。通過反覆修習,能使四念處圓滿;四念處圓滿后,能使七覺支圓滿;七覺支圓滿后,能使明和解脫圓滿。如何修習安那般那念,使四念處圓滿呢?這位比丘依止村落,乃至學習如滅出息念。阿難!這樣的聖弟子在入息時,如實地學習入息念;在出息時,如實地學習出息念;無論是長息還是短息,都能覺知一切身行,在入息時如實地學習入息念,在出息時如實地學習出息念;當身行止息時,在入息時,如實地學習身行止息的入息念;當身行止息時,在出息時,如實地學習身行止息的出息念。這位聖弟子這時安住于身身觀念,對於不同於身體的,他也同樣隨身進行比照思維。 『如果有時,聖弟子覺知喜,覺知樂,覺知心行,覺知心行止息,在入息時,如實地學習心行止息的入息念;在出息時,如實地學習心行止息的出息念。這位聖弟子這時安住于受受觀念,如果還有不同於感受的,他也同樣隨受進行比照思維。』

English version At that time, the venerable Ananda, alone in a quiet place, contemplating meditation, thought to himself: 'Is there one thing that, when practiced and repeatedly practiced, fulfills four things; when four things are fulfilled, fulfills seven things; and when seven things are fulfilled, fulfills two things?' Then, the venerable Ananda, having awakened from meditation, went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at his feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, I, alone in a quiet place, contemplating meditation, thought to myself: 'Is there one thing that, when repeatedly practiced, fulfills four things, and even two things?' I now ask the Venerable Sir, is there one thing that, when repeatedly practiced, can fulfill, even two things?' The Buddha told Ananda: 'There is one thing that, when repeatedly practiced, can even fulfill two things.' What is that one thing? It is mindfulness of breathing (anapanasati). When repeatedly practiced, it fulfills the four foundations of mindfulness; when the four foundations of mindfulness are fulfilled, it fulfills the seven factors of enlightenment; when the seven factors of enlightenment are fulfilled, it fulfills clear knowledge and liberation. How does one practice mindfulness of breathing so that the four foundations of mindfulness are fulfilled? This bhikkhu, relying on a village, even learns to be mindful of the cessation of the out-breath. Ananda! Such a noble disciple, when breathing in, learns to be mindful of the in-breath; when breathing out, learns to be mindful of the out-breath; whether the breath is long or short, he is aware of all bodily activities, when breathing in, he learns to be mindful of the in-breath, when breathing out, he learns to be mindful of the out-breath; when bodily activities cease, when breathing in, he learns to be mindful of the cessation of bodily activities in the in-breath; when bodily activities cease, when breathing out, he learns to be mindful of the cessation of bodily activities in the out-breath. This noble disciple then dwells contemplating the body in the body, and for what is different from the body, he also contemplates it in relation to the body. 'If at times, the noble disciple is aware of joy, aware of pleasure, aware of mental activities, aware of the cessation of mental activities, when breathing in, he learns to be mindful of the cessation of mental activities in the in-breath; when breathing out, he learns to be mindful of the cessation of mental activities in the out-breath. This noble disciple then dwells contemplating feelings in feelings, and if there is anything different from feelings, he also contemplates it in relation to feelings.'


。有時聖弟子心覺知,心悅、心定、心解脫覺知,入息念時如入息念學,心解脫出息念時如心解脫出息念學,是聖弟子爾時心心觀念住,若有異心者,彼亦隨心比思惟。

「若聖弟子有時觀無常、斷、無慾、滅,如無常、斷、無慾、滅觀住學,是聖弟子爾時法法觀念住異於法者,亦隨法比思惟,是名修安那般那念,滿足四念處。」

阿難白佛:「如是修習安那般那念,令四念處滿足。云何修四念處,令七覺分滿足?」

佛告阿難:「若比丘身身觀念住,念住已,繫念住不忘。爾時方便修念覺分,修念覺分已,念覺分滿足;念覺滿足已,於法選擇思量。爾時方便修擇法覺分,修擇法覺分已,擇法覺分滿足,於法選擇分別思量已,得精勤方便。爾時方便修習精進覺分,修精進覺分已,精進覺分滿足,方便精進已,則心歡喜。爾時方便修喜覺分,修喜覺分已,喜覺分滿足,歡喜已,身心猗息。爾時方便修猗覺分,修猗覺分已,猗覺分滿足,身心樂已,得三昧。爾時修定覺分,修定覺分已,定覺分滿足,定覺分滿足已,貪憂則滅,得平等舍。爾時方便修舍覺分,修舍覺分已,舍覺分滿足,受、心、法法念處亦如是說,是名修四念處,滿足七覺分。」

阿難白佛:「是名修四念處,滿足七覺分

現代漢語譯本:有時,聖弟子覺察到自己的心,感受到喜悅、安定和解脫,當他覺知入息時,就如實地覺知入息;當他覺知出息時,就如實地覺知出息。這時,聖弟子專注於心唸的觀察。如果心中生起其他念頭,他也會隨之覺察和思考。 如果聖弟子有時觀察無常、斷滅、無慾和寂滅,並如實地觀察這些,這時,聖弟子專注于對法的觀察。如果出現與法不同的念頭,他也會隨之覺察和思考。這被稱為修習安那般那念,圓滿了四念處。 阿難問佛:『這樣修習安那般那念,可以圓滿四念處。那麼,如何修習四念處,才能圓滿七覺支呢?』 佛告訴阿難:『如果比丘專注于觀察身體,當他專注于身體的觀察時,他的念頭就會持續不斷,不會忘記。這時,他就會方便地修習念覺支,當念覺支修習圓滿后,他就會對法進行選擇和思考。這時,他就會方便地修習擇法覺支,當擇法覺支修習圓滿后,他就會對法進行選擇、分別和思考,從而獲得精勤的方便。這時,他就會方便地修習精進覺支,當精進覺支修習圓滿后,他就會因為精進而感到歡喜。這時,他就會方便地修習喜覺支,當喜覺支修習圓滿后,他就會感到身心輕安。這時,他就會方便地修習猗覺支,當猗覺支修習圓滿后,他就會感到身心快樂,從而獲得三昧。這時,他就會修習定覺支,當定覺支修習圓滿后,貪慾和憂愁就會消失,從而獲得平等舍。這時,他就會方便地修習舍覺支,當舍覺支修習圓滿后,感受、心和法念處的修習也是如此。這被稱為修習四念處,圓滿了七覺支。』 阿難對佛說:『這被稱為修習四念處,圓滿了七覺支。』

English version: Sometimes, a noble disciple is aware of their mind, feeling joy, stability, and liberation. When they are aware of an in-breath, they are truly aware of an in-breath; when they are aware of an out-breath, they are truly aware of an out-breath. At this time, the noble disciple focuses on observing the mind. If other thoughts arise in the mind, they also observe and contemplate them. If a noble disciple sometimes observes impermanence, cessation, desirelessness, and extinction, and truly observes these, at this time, the noble disciple focuses on observing the Dharma. If thoughts different from the Dharma arise, they also observe and contemplate them. This is called practicing mindfulness of breathing, which fulfills the four foundations of mindfulness. Ananda asked the Buddha: 'By practicing mindfulness of breathing in this way, the four foundations of mindfulness can be fulfilled. Then, how should the four foundations of mindfulness be practiced to fulfill the seven factors of enlightenment?' The Buddha told Ananda: 'If a bhikkhu focuses on observing the body, when they focus on observing the body, their mindfulness will be continuous and they will not forget. At this time, they will conveniently practice the mindfulness enlightenment factor. When the mindfulness enlightenment factor is fully practiced, they will choose and contemplate the Dharma. At this time, they will conveniently practice the investigation of Dharma enlightenment factor. When the investigation of Dharma enlightenment factor is fully practiced, they will choose, distinguish, and contemplate the Dharma, thereby obtaining the convenience of diligence. At this time, they will conveniently practice the diligence enlightenment factor. When the diligence enlightenment factor is fully practiced, they will feel joy because of their diligence. At this time, they will conveniently practice the joy enlightenment factor. When the joy enlightenment factor is fully practiced, they will feel tranquility of body and mind. At this time, they will conveniently practice the tranquility enlightenment factor. When the tranquility enlightenment factor is fully practiced, they will feel happiness of body and mind, thereby obtaining samadhi. At this time, they will practice the concentration enlightenment factor. When the concentration enlightenment factor is fully practiced, greed and sorrow will disappear, thereby obtaining equanimity. At this time, they will conveniently practice the equanimity enlightenment factor. When the equanimity enlightenment factor is fully practiced, the practice of the foundations of mindfulness of feeling, mind, and Dharma is the same. This is called practicing the four foundations of mindfulness, which fulfills the seven factors of enlightenment.' Ananda said to the Buddha: 'This is called practicing the four foundations of mindfulness, which fulfills the seven factors of enlightenment.'


。云何修七覺分,滿足明、解脫?」

佛告阿難:「若比丘修念覺分,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍;修念覺分已,滿足明、解脫。乃至修舍覺分,依遠離、依無慾、依滅、向于舍,如是修舍覺分已,明、解脫滿足。阿難!是名法法相類、法法相潤。如是十三法,一法為增上,一法為門,次第增進,修習滿足。」

佛說此經已,尊者阿難聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八一一~八一二)

如是異比丘所問,佛問諸比丘亦如上說。

(八一三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住金毗羅聚落金毗林中。

爾時,世尊告尊者金毗羅:「我今當說精勤修習四念處。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。」爾時,尊者金毗羅默然住,如是再三。

爾時,尊者阿難語尊者金毗羅:「今大師告汝!」如是三說。

尊者金毗羅語尊者阿難:「我已知。尊者阿難!我已知。尊者瞿曇!」

爾時,尊者阿難白佛言:「世尊!是時。世尊!是時。善逝!唯愿為諸比丘說精勤修四念處,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告阿難:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。若比丘入息念時,如入息學;乃至滅出息時,如滅出息學

現代漢語譯本: 『如何修習七覺支,以圓滿明和解脫?』 佛陀告訴阿難:『如果比丘修習念覺支,依于遠離、依于無慾、依于滅、趨向于舍;修習念覺支后,就圓滿了明和解脫。乃至修習舍覺支,依于遠離、依于無慾、依于滅、趨向于舍,這樣修習舍覺支后,明和解脫就圓滿了。阿難!這叫做法與法之間相互類似、法與法之間相互滋潤。像這樣十三種法,一種法作為增上,一種法作為門徑,次第增進,修習圓滿。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (八一一~八一二) 像這樣,其他比丘所問的,佛陀問其他比丘也像上面所說。 (八一三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在金毗羅聚落的金毗林中。 當時,世尊告訴尊者金毗羅:『我現在應當說精勤修習四念處。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。』當時,尊者金毗羅默然不語,像這樣重複了三次。 當時,尊者阿難對尊者金毗羅說:『現在大師在告訴你!』像這樣說了三次。 尊者金毗羅對尊者阿難說:『我已經知道了。尊者阿難!我已經知道了。尊者瞿曇!』 當時,尊者阿難對佛陀說:『世尊!時機到了。世尊!時機到了。善逝!希望您為諸比丘解說精勤修習四念處,諸比丘聽聞后,應當接受奉行。』 佛陀告訴阿難:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。如果比丘在入息時,如入息般學習;乃至在滅出息時,如滅出息般學習。』

English version: 'How does one cultivate the seven factors of enlightenment to fulfill clear understanding and liberation?' The Buddha told Ananda, 'If a bhikkhu cultivates the mindfulness enlightenment factor, relying on seclusion, relying on dispassion, relying on cessation, leading to relinquishment; having cultivated the mindfulness enlightenment factor, clear understanding and liberation are fulfilled. And so on, up to cultivating the equanimity enlightenment factor, relying on seclusion, relying on dispassion, relying on cessation, leading to relinquishment; having cultivated the equanimity enlightenment factor, clear understanding and liberation are fulfilled. Ananda! This is called the similarity of dharma to dharma, the nourishment of dharma by dharma. Thus, these thirteen dharmas, one dharma as a support, one dharma as a gateway, progressively advance, and cultivation is fulfilled.' After the Buddha finished speaking this discourse, Venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (811-812) In this way, what was asked by other bhikkhus, the Buddha asked other bhikkhus in the same way as above. (813) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kimila Grove in the Kimila township. Then, the Blessed One said to Venerable Kimila, 'I will now speak about diligently cultivating the four foundations of mindfulness. Listen carefully, reflect well, and I will explain it to you.' At that time, Venerable Kimila remained silent, and this was repeated three times. Then, Venerable Ananda said to Venerable Kimila, 'Now the Master is speaking to you!' This was said three times. Venerable Kimila said to Venerable Ananda, 'I already know. Venerable Ananda! I already know. Venerable Gotama!' Then, Venerable Ananda said to the Buddha, 'Blessed One! It is the right time. Blessed One! It is the right time. Well-gone One! May you please explain to the bhikkhus the diligent cultivation of the four foundations of mindfulness, so that the bhikkhus, having heard it, may accept and practice it.' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'Listen carefully, reflect well, and I will explain it to you. If a bhikkhu, when mindful of the in-breath, learns as if mindful of the in-breath; and so on, up to when mindful of the cessation of the out-breath, learns as if mindful of the cessation of the out-breath.'


。爾時聖弟子念入息時,如念入息學;乃至身行止息、出息時,如身行止息、出息學。爾時聖弟子身身觀念住。爾時聖弟子身身觀念住已,如是知善內思惟。」

佛告阿難:「譬如有人乘車輿從東方顛沛而來,當於爾時踐蹈諸土堆壟不?」

阿難白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告阿難:「如是聖弟子念入息時,如入息念學,如是乃至善內思惟。若爾時聖弟子覺知喜,乃至覺知意行息學,聖弟子受受觀念住;聖弟子受受觀念已,如是知善內思惟。譬如有人乘車輿從南方顛沛而來,云何?阿難!當踐蹈土堆壟不?」

阿難白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告阿難:「如是聖弟子受受觀念住,知善內思惟。若聖弟子覺知心、欣悅心、定心,解脫心入息如解脫心入息學,解脫心出息如解脫心出息學。爾時聖弟子心心觀念住。如是聖弟子心心觀念住已,知善內思惟。譬如有人乘車輿從西方來,彼當踐蹈土堆壟不?」

阿難白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告阿難:「如是聖弟子覺知心,乃至心解脫出息如心解脫出息學。如是聖弟子爾時心心觀念住,知善內思惟,善於身受心,貪憂滅舍。爾時聖弟子法法觀念住。如是聖弟子法法觀念住已,知善內思惟

現代漢語譯本:那時,聖弟子在覺知吸氣時,就如實地覺知吸氣,並學習;乃至覺知身體的活動停止、呼氣時,就如實地覺知身體的活動停止、呼氣,並學習。那時,聖弟子安住于對身體的如實觀察。當聖弟子安住于對身體的如實觀察后,就能如實地知曉善的內在思考。 佛陀告訴阿難:『譬如有人乘坐車子從東方顛簸而來,那時他會踩到土堆和土埂嗎?』 阿難回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴阿難:『同樣,聖弟子在覺知吸氣時,就如實地覺知吸氣,並學習,乃至如實地知曉善的內在思考。如果那時聖弟子覺知到喜悅,乃至覺知到意念的活動停止,並學習,聖弟子就安住于對感受的如實觀察;當聖弟子安住于對感受的如實觀察后,就能如實地知曉善的內在思考。譬如有人乘坐車子從南方顛簸而來,怎麼樣,阿難?他會踩到土堆和土埂嗎?』 阿難回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴阿難:『同樣,聖弟子安住于對感受的如實觀察,並知曉善的內在思考。如果聖弟子覺知到心、欣悅的心、專注的心、解脫的心,覺知吸氣如解脫的心吸氣,並學習,覺知呼氣如解脫的心呼氣,並學習。那時,聖弟子安住于對心的如實觀察。當聖弟子安住于對心的如實觀察后,就能如實地知曉善的內在思考。譬如有人乘坐車子從西方而來,他會踩到土堆和土埂嗎?』 阿難回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴阿難:『同樣,聖弟子覺知到心,乃至覺知到心解脫的呼氣,並學習。那時,聖弟子安住于對心的如實觀察,知曉善的內在思考,善於對身體、感受、心的貪慾和憂愁的滅除和捨棄。那時,聖弟子安住于對法的如實觀察。當聖弟子安住于對法的如實觀察后,就能如實地知曉善的內在思考。』

English version: At that time, when a noble disciple is mindful of breathing in, he learns as he is mindful of breathing in; and even when the bodily activity ceases, when breathing out, he learns as the bodily activity ceases, when breathing out. At that time, the noble disciple dwells contemplating the body as body. When the noble disciple has dwelt contemplating the body as body, he thus knows good inner reflection. The Buddha said to Ananda, 'Suppose a person is coming from the east in a carriage, would he be trampling on mounds and ridges of earth at that time?' Ananda said to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'Likewise, when a noble disciple is mindful of breathing in, he learns as he is mindful of breathing in, and so on, until he knows good inner reflection. If at that time the noble disciple is aware of joy, and even aware of the cessation of mental activity, he learns, the noble disciple dwells contemplating feeling as feeling; when the noble disciple has dwelt contemplating feeling as feeling, he thus knows good inner reflection. Suppose a person is coming from the south in a carriage, what do you think, Ananda? Would he be trampling on mounds and ridges of earth?' Ananda said to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'Likewise, the noble disciple dwells contemplating feeling as feeling, and knows good inner reflection. If the noble disciple is aware of the mind, the delighted mind, the concentrated mind, the liberated mind, he learns breathing in as the liberated mind breathes in, he learns breathing out as the liberated mind breathes out. At that time, the noble disciple dwells contemplating mind as mind. When the noble disciple has dwelt contemplating mind as mind, he thus knows good inner reflection. Suppose a person is coming from the west in a carriage, would he be trampling on mounds and ridges of earth?' Ananda said to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'Likewise, the noble disciple is aware of the mind, and even the mind's liberation when breathing out, he learns. At that time, the noble disciple dwells contemplating mind as mind, knows good inner reflection, and is skilled in the extinction and abandonment of greed and sorrow regarding the body, feeling, and mind. At that time, the noble disciple dwells contemplating phenomena as phenomena. When the noble disciple has dwelt contemplating phenomena as phenomena, he thus knows good inner reflection.'


。阿難!譬如四衢道有土堆壟,有人乘車輿從北方顛沛而來,當踐蹈土堆壟不?」

阿難白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告阿難:「如是,聖弟子法法觀念住,知善內思惟。阿難!是名比丘精勤方便修四念處。」

佛說此經已,尊者阿難聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八一四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當修安那般那念。修安那般那念多修習已,身不疲倦,眼亦不患,樂隨順觀住,樂覺知,不染著樂。云何修安那般那念,身不疲倦,眼亦不患,樂隨觀住,樂覺知,不染著樂?是比丘依止聚落,乃至觀滅出息時如滅出息學,是名修安那般那念,身不疲倦,眼亦不患,樂隨觀住,樂覺知,不染著樂。如是修安那般那念者,得大果大福利。是比丘欲求離欲、惡不善法,有覺有觀,離生喜樂,初禪具足住,是比丘當修安那般那念。如是修安那般那念,得大果大福利。是比丘欲求第二、第三、第四禪,慈、悲、喜、舍,空入處、識入處、無所有入處、非想非非想入處,具足三結盡,得須陀洹果;三結盡,貪、恚、癡薄,得斯陀含果;五下分結盡,得阿那含果,得無量種神通力,天耳、他心智、宿命智、生死智、漏盡智者

現代漢語譯本:阿難!譬如在四通八達的道路上有個土堆,有人乘坐車子從北方顛簸而來,會踩到那個土堆嗎?' 阿難回答佛說:'是的,世尊!' 佛告訴阿難:'是的,聖弟子應當依法觀察,安住於法,瞭解善的內在思維。阿難!這叫做比丘精勤方便地修習四念處。' 佛說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (八一四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:'應當修習安那般那念。修習安那般那念,並且多多修習后,身體不會疲倦,眼睛也不會有疾病,能夠安樂地隨順觀察,安住于觀,樂於覺知,不執著于快樂。如何修習安那般那念,才能使身體不疲倦,眼睛不生病,安樂地隨順觀察,安住于觀,樂於覺知,不執著于快樂呢?就是比丘依止村落,乃至觀察氣息滅盡時,如氣息滅盡那樣學習,這叫做修習安那般那念,身體不疲倦,眼睛不生病,安樂地隨順觀察,安住于觀,樂於覺知,不執著于快樂。這樣修習安那般那唸的人,能夠獲得巨大的果報和利益。如果比丘想要離欲、離惡不善法,有覺有觀,因遠離而生喜樂,具足安住于初禪,這個比丘應當修習安那般那念。這樣修習安那般那念,能夠獲得巨大的果報和利益。如果比丘想要證得第二禪、第三禪、第四禪,慈、悲、喜、舍,空無邊處、識無邊處、無所有處、非想非非想處,具足斷除三結,證得須陀洹果;斷除三結,貪、嗔、癡薄弱,證得斯陀含果;斷除五下分結,證得阿那含果,獲得無量的神通力,天耳通、他心通、宿命通、生死通、漏盡通。'

English version: 'Ananda! Suppose there is a mound of earth at a crossroads. If someone were to come from the north in a carriage, would they trample on that mound?' Ananda replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable One!' The Buddha told Ananda, 'Yes, a noble disciple should abide in the contemplation of the Dharma, understanding good inner thoughts. Ananda! This is called a bhikkhu diligently and skillfully practicing the Four Foundations of Mindfulness.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Ananda, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (814) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the bhikkhus, 'You should practice mindfulness of breathing. Having practiced mindfulness of breathing and cultivated it extensively, the body will not be weary, the eyes will not be afflicted, one will dwell in joyful observation, joyful awareness, and without attachment to pleasure. How does one practice mindfulness of breathing so that the body is not weary, the eyes are not afflicted, one dwells in joyful observation, joyful awareness, and without attachment to pleasure? It is when a bhikkhu relies on a village, and even when observing the cessation of the breath, learns as if the breath were ceasing. This is called practicing mindfulness of breathing, so that the body is not weary, the eyes are not afflicted, one dwells in joyful observation, joyful awareness, and without attachment to pleasure. One who practices mindfulness of breathing in this way obtains great fruit and great benefit. If a bhikkhu desires to be free from desire, evil and unwholesome states, with initial and sustained thought, born of detachment, joy and pleasure, and dwells in the first jhana, that bhikkhu should practice mindfulness of breathing. By practicing mindfulness of breathing in this way, one obtains great fruit and great benefit. If a bhikkhu desires to attain the second, third, and fourth jhanas, loving-kindness, compassion, joy, equanimity, the sphere of infinite space, the sphere of infinite consciousness, the sphere of nothingness, the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, having completely eradicated the three fetters, attains the fruit of Stream-entry; having eradicated the three fetters, with the weakening of greed, hatred, and delusion, attains the fruit of Once-returning; having eradicated the five lower fetters, attains the fruit of Non-returning, and obtains immeasurable psychic powers, the divine ear, the knowledge of others' minds, the knowledge of past lives, the knowledge of death and rebirth, and the knowledge of the destruction of the taints.'


。如是比丘當修安那般那念。如是安那般那念,得大果大福利。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八一五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園夏安居。爾時,眾多上座聲聞於世尊左右樹下、窟中安居。時,有眾多年少比丘詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。

佛為諸年少比丘種種說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,默然住。

諸年少比丘聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起,作禮而去。

諸年少比丘往詣上座比丘所,禮諸上座足已,於一面坐。

時,諸上座比丘作是念:「我等當攝受此諸年少比丘,或一人受一人,或一人受二、三、多人。」作是念已,即便攝受,或一人受一人,或受二、三、多人,或有上座乃至受六十人。

爾時,世尊十五日布薩時,于大眾前敷座而坐。

爾時,世尊觀察諸比丘已,告比丘:「善哉!善哉!我今喜諸比丘行諸正事。是故,比丘!當勤精進。」

於此舍衛國,滿迦低月,諸處人間比丘聞世尊于舍衛國安居,滿迦低月滿已,作衣竟,持衣缽,于舍衛國人間遊行。漸至舍衛國,舉衣缽,洗足已,詣世尊所,稽首禮足已,退坐一面

現代漢語譯本:『如果這樣,比丘應當修習安那般那念。』這樣修習安那般那念,能獲得巨大的果報和利益。」 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (八一五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園,進行夏季安居。當時,許多上座聲聞弟子在世尊左右的樹下、洞穴中安居。這時,許多年輕的比丘來到佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。 佛陀為這些年輕的比丘宣講各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使他們歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、使他們歡喜后,便默然不語。 這些年輕的比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜隨喜,從座位上起身,向佛陀作禮后離去。 這些年輕的比丘前往上座比丘那裡,向各位上座頂禮后,坐在一旁。 這時,各位上座比丘心想:『我們應當攝受這些年輕的比丘,或者一人攝受一人,或者一人攝受兩、三個人,甚至更多人。』這樣想后,他們便開始攝受,或者一人攝受一人,或者攝受兩、三個人,有的上座甚至攝受了六十人。 那時,世尊在十五日布薩時,在大眾面前鋪設座位坐下。 這時,世尊觀察了眾比丘后,告訴比丘們:『好啊!好啊!我今天很高興看到比丘們行持正法。所以,比丘們!應當勤奮精進。』 在舍衛國,滿迦低月時,各處人間比丘聽說世尊在舍衛國安居,滿迦低月結束后,做完衣服,拿著衣缽,從舍衛國人間出發。逐漸到達舍衛國,放下衣缽,洗完腳后,來到世尊那裡,向世尊頂禮后,退坐在一旁。

English version: 'If so, a monk should practice mindfulness of breathing. Such mindfulness of breathing yields great fruit and great benefit.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and practiced accordingly. (815) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling at Jeta's Grove in Anathapindika's Park in Savatthi, observing the rains retreat. At that time, many senior disciples were dwelling in the trees and caves around the Blessed One. Then, many young monks went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side. The Buddha gave various teachings to the young monks, instructing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening them; having instructed, taught, illuminated, and gladdened them, he remained silent. The young monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, rejoiced and were pleased, rose from their seats, paid homage to the Buddha, and departed. The young monks went to the senior monks, paid homage to their feet, and sat down to one side. Then, the senior monks thought: 'We should take care of these young monks, either one taking one, or one taking two, three, or more.' Having thought this, they began to take care of them, either one taking one, or taking two, three, or more, with some senior monks even taking sixty. At that time, on the fifteenth day of the Uposatha, the Blessed One sat down on a seat prepared in front of the assembly. Then, the Blessed One, having observed the monks, said to them: 'Well done! Well done! I am pleased today that the monks are practicing the Dharma. Therefore, monks! You should strive diligently.' In Savatthi, during the full moon of Kattika, monks from various places heard that the Blessed One was observing the rains retreat in Savatthi. After the full moon of Kattika, having finished making their robes, they took their robes and bowls, and set out from various places towards Savatthi. Gradually reaching Savatthi, they put down their robes and bowls, washed their feet, went to the Blessed One, paid homage to him, and sat down to one side.


爾時,世尊為人間比丘種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,默然住。

爾時人間比丘聞佛說法,歡喜隨喜,從座起,作禮而去。往詣上座比丘所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。

時,諸上座作是念:「我等當受此人間比丘,或一人受一人,或二、三,乃至多人。」即便受之,或一人受一人,或二、三,乃至有受六十人者。彼上座比丘受諸人間比丘,教誡、教授,善知先後次第。

爾時,世尊月十五日布薩時,于大眾前敷座而坐,觀察諸比丘眾,告諸比丘:「善哉!善哉!諸比丘!我欣汝等所行正事,樂汝等所行正事。諸比丘!過去諸佛亦有比丘眾所行正事如今此眾,未來諸佛所有諸眾亦當如是所行正事如今此眾。所以者何?今此眾中諸長老比丘,有得初禪、第二禪、第三禪、第四禪,慈、悲、喜、舍,空入處、識入處、無所有入處、非想非非想處具足住。有比丘三結盡,得須陀洹,不墮惡趣法,決定正向三菩提,七有天人往生,究竟苦邊。有比丘三結盡,貪、恚、癡薄,得斯陀含。有比丘五下分結盡,得阿那含,生般涅槃,不復還生此世。有比丘得無量神通境界,天耳、他心智、宿命智、生死智、漏盡智。有比丘修不凈觀,斷貪慾,修慈心,斷瞋恚,修無常想,斷我慢,修安那般那念,斷覺想

現代漢語譯本:

當時,世尊為在人間的比丘們宣講各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、令他們歡喜后,便默然安住。

當時,在人間的比丘們聽聞佛陀說法,歡喜讚歎,從座位起身,向佛陀頂禮后離去。他們前往上座比丘的住所,稽首禮拜上座比丘的足,然後退坐在一旁。

這時,各位上座比丘心想:『我們應當接納這些在人間的比丘,或者一人接納一人,或者二人、三人,乃至多人。』他們便接納了這些比丘,或者一人接納一人,或者二人、三人,甚至有接納六十人的。這些上座比丘接納了在人間的比丘后,教誡、教授他們,善於掌握先後次第。

當時,世尊在月圓十五日舉行布薩時,在大眾面前鋪設座位坐下,觀察各位比丘,告訴他們說:『好啊!好啊!各位比丘!我欣慰你們所行的正事,樂於你們所行的正事。各位比丘!過去諸佛也有比丘眾所行的正事如同現在的僧眾,未來諸佛的所有僧眾也將像現在的僧眾一樣行持正事。這是為什麼呢?因為現在這個僧眾中,各位長老比丘,有證得初禪、第二禪、第三禪、第四禪,慈、悲、喜、舍,空無邊處、識無邊處、無所有處、非想非非想處,具足安住的。有比丘斷盡三結,證得須陀洹果,不墮惡道,必定趨向三菩提,七次往返天人之間,最終達到苦的盡頭。有比丘斷盡三結,貪、嗔、癡薄弱,證得斯陀含果。有比丘斷盡五下分結,證得阿那含果,于彼處般涅槃,不再返回此世。有比丘獲得無量神通境界,天耳通、他心通、宿命通、生死通、漏盡通。有比丘修習不凈觀,斷除貪慾;修習慈心,斷除嗔恚;修習無常想,斷除我慢;修習安那般那念,斷除覺想。』 現代漢語譯本:

English version:

At that time, the World Honored One, having expounded various teachings to the monks in the human realm, having shown, taught, illuminated, and gladdened them, remained in silence.

At that time, the monks in the human realm, having heard the Buddha's teachings, rejoiced and followed with joy. They rose from their seats, bowed to the Buddha, and departed. They went to the residences of the senior monks, bowed their heads to their feet, and then sat down to one side.

Then, the senior monks thought, 'We should receive these monks from the human realm, either one receiving one, or two, three, or even more.' They then received them, some one receiving one, some two or three, and some even receiving sixty. These senior monks, having received the monks from the human realm, instructed and taught them, being skilled in the proper order and sequence.

At that time, on the fifteenth day of the month, during the Uposatha ceremony, the World Honored One sat down on a seat prepared before the assembly, observed the assembly of monks, and said to them, 'Well done! Well done! Monks! I am pleased with the righteous deeds you are performing, and I rejoice in the righteous deeds you are performing. Monks! The Buddhas of the past also had assemblies of monks who performed righteous deeds like this present assembly, and the future Buddhas will also have assemblies that will perform righteous deeds like this present assembly. Why is this so? Because in this present assembly, there are elder monks who have attained the first dhyana, the second dhyana, the third dhyana, the fourth dhyana, loving-kindness, compassion, joy, equanimity, the sphere of infinite space, the sphere of infinite consciousness, the sphere of nothingness, and the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, and abide in them fully. There are monks who have exhausted the three fetters, attained the fruit of Stream-entry, do not fall into evil destinies, are definitely headed towards enlightenment, will be reborn among gods and humans seven times, and will ultimately reach the end of suffering. There are monks who have exhausted the three fetters, and whose greed, hatred, and delusion are weakened, and have attained the fruit of Once-returner. There are monks who have exhausted the five lower fetters, attained the fruit of Non-returner, and will attain parinirvana there, and will not return to this world again. There are monks who have attained immeasurable supernatural powers, the divine ear, the knowledge of others' minds, the knowledge of past lives, the knowledge of death and rebirth, and the knowledge of the exhaustion of defilements. There are monks who cultivate the contemplation of impurity, and cut off greed; cultivate loving-kindness, and cut off hatred; cultivate the contemplation of impermanence, and cut off pride; cultivate mindfulness of breathing, and cut off conceptual thought.'

。云何?比丘!修安那般那念斷覺想?是比丘依止聚落,乃至觀滅出息如觀滅出息學,是名修安那般那念斷覺想。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八一六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有三學。何等為三?謂增上戒學、增上意學、謂增上慧學。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「三學具足者,  是比丘正行,  增上戒心慧,  三法勤精進,  勇猛堅固城,  常守護諸根。  如晝如其夜,  如夜亦如晝,  如前如其後,  如后亦如前,  如上如其下,  如下亦如上。  無量諸三昧,  映一切諸方,  是說為覺跡,  第一清涼集,  舍離無明諍,  其心善解脫,  我為世間覺,  明行悉具足,  正念不忘住,  其心得解脫,  身壞而命終,  如燈盡火滅。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八一七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「亦復有三學。何等為三?謂增上戒學、增上意學、增上慧學

現代漢語譯本:『云何?比丘!修安那般那念如何斷除覺想?』 『這位比丘依止村落,乃至觀察滅盡的出息,如觀察滅盡的出息那樣學習,這稱為修安那般那念斷除覺想。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (八一六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有三種學。哪三種呢?就是增上戒學、增上意學、增上慧學。』 那時,世尊即說偈語: 『三種學都具足的人,這位比丘的行為是正確的,增上戒、心、慧,這三種法要勤奮精進,像勇猛堅固的城墻,常常守護諸根。像白天一樣,也像夜晚一樣,像夜晚一樣,也像白天一樣,像前面一樣,也像後面一樣,像後面一樣,也像前面一樣,像上面一樣,也像下面一樣,像下面一樣,也像上面一樣。無量的各種三昧,照耀一切諸方,這被稱為覺悟的足跡,是第一清涼的聚集,舍離無明的爭鬥,他的心得到善解脫,我為世間的覺悟者,明行都具足,正念不忘失,他的心得到解脫,身體壞滅而生命終結,就像燈油耗盡火焰熄滅。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (八一七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『還有三種學。哪三種呢?就是增上戒學、增上意學、增上慧學。』

English version: 『How, bhikkhus, does mindfulness of breathing, when developed, lead to the cessation of perception and thought?』 『Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells in dependence on a village, and so on, observing the cessation of the out-breath, he trains himself to observe the cessation of the out-breath. This is called the development of mindfulness of breathing that leads to the cessation of perception and thought.』 After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and rejoiced in what the Buddha had said. (816) Thus have I heard: At one time the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 『There are three trainings. What three? The training in higher morality, the training in higher mind, and the training in higher wisdom.』 Then the Blessed One spoke these verses: 『The bhikkhu who is complete in the three trainings, his conduct is right. Higher morality, mind, and wisdom, these three things he should strive diligently. Like a strong and fortified city, he always guards his senses. As the day, so the night; as the night, so the day; as the front, so the back; as the back, so the front; as above, so below; as below, so above. Immeasurable are the various samadhis, illuminating all directions. This is said to be the path of awakening, the first cool gathering. Having abandoned the strife of ignorance, his mind is well liberated. I am the awakened one of the world, complete in knowledge and conduct. With right mindfulness and non-forgetfulness, his mind is liberated. When the body breaks up and life ends, it is like a lamp that has run out of oil and the flame is extinguished.』 After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and rejoiced in what the Buddha had said. (817) Thus have I heard: At one time the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 『There are also three trainings. What three? The training in higher morality, the training in higher mind, and the training in higher wisdom.』


。何等為增上戒學?若比丘住于戒波羅提木叉律儀,威儀行處具足,見微細罪則生怖畏,受持學戒。何等為增上意學?若比丘離欲、惡不善法,乃至第四禪具足住。何等為增上慧學?是比丘此苦聖諦如實知,集、滅、道聖諦如實知,是名增上慧學。」

爾時,世尊即說偈,如上所說。

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八一八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有比丘增上戒學,非增上意、增上慧學,有增上戒、增上意學,非增上慧學。聖弟子增上慧方便隨順成就住者,增上戒、增上意修習滿足。如是聖弟子增上慧方便隨順成就住者,無上慧壽而活。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八一九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過二百五十戒,隨次半月來說波羅提木叉修多羅,令彼自求學者而學,說三學,能攝諸戒。何等為三?謂增上戒學、增上意學、增上慧學。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八二〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:什麼是增上戒學?如果比丘安住于戒律,遵守波羅提木叉的規定,行為舉止合乎威儀,即使見到微小的過失也會心生畏懼,並受持學習戒律。什麼是增上意學?如果比丘能夠遠離慾望和各種不善的念頭,乃至達到第四禪的境界並安住其中。什麼是增上慧學?如果比丘能夠如實地瞭解苦聖諦,以及集、滅、道這三個聖諦,這就稱為增上慧學。 當時,世尊說了偈語,內容和上面所說的一樣。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (八一八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有的比丘修習增上戒學,但沒有修習增上意學和增上慧學;有的比丘修習增上戒學和增上意學,但沒有修習增上慧學。如果聖弟子能夠通過增上慧的方便法門,隨順修行並安住其中,那麼他就能圓滿修習增上戒學和增上意學。像這樣的聖弟子,就能以無上的智慧而長壽。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (八一九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『超過二百五十條戒律,每半個月都要依次誦讀波羅提木叉修多羅,讓那些想要學習的人去學習。而這所有的戒律,都可以用三學來概括。這三學是什麼呢?就是增上戒學、增上意學和增上慧學。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (八二〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: What is higher training in morality? If a bhikkhu dwells restrained by the rules of the Patimokkha, complete in conduct and behavior, seeing fear in the slightest faults, undertaking and training in the precepts. What is higher training in mind? If a bhikkhu, having abandoned sensual desire and unwholesome states, dwells having attained the fourth jhana. What is higher training in wisdom? It is when a bhikkhu truly understands the noble truth of suffering, the noble truth of the origin, the noble truth of the cessation, and the noble truth of the path. This is called higher training in wisdom. Then, the Blessed One spoke a verse, as mentioned above. Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and practiced accordingly. (818) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling at Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, 'There are bhikkhus who have higher training in morality, but not higher training in mind or higher training in wisdom. There are those who have higher training in morality and higher training in mind, but not higher training in wisdom. A noble disciple who dwells having attained the means of higher wisdom, in accordance with the practice, fulfills the training in higher morality and higher mind. Such a noble disciple lives with unsurpassed wisdom and longevity.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and practiced accordingly. (819) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling at Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, 'More than two hundred and fifty precepts are recited in the Patimokkha Sutra every half month, so that those who wish to learn may do so. These precepts can be summarized by three trainings. What are the three? They are higher training in morality, higher training in mind, and higher training in wisdom.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and practiced accordingly. (820) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling at Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「何等為增上戒學?謂比丘重於戒,戒增上,不重於定,定不增上,不重於慧,慧不增上;于彼彼分細微戒,犯則隨悔。所以者何?我不說彼不堪能,若彼戒隨順梵行、饒益梵行、久住梵行,如是比丘戒堅固、戒師常住、戒常隨順生,受持而學。如是知、如是見,斷三結,謂身見、戒取、疑。斷此三結,得須陀洹,不墮惡趣法,決定正趣三菩提,七有天人往生,究竟苦邊,是名學增上戒。

「何等為增上意學?是比丘重於戒,戒增上,重於定,定增上,不重於慧,慧不增上;于彼彼分細微戒,乃至受持學戒。如是知、如是見,斷於五下分結,謂身見、戒取、疑、貪慾、瞋恚。斷此五下分結,受生般涅槃,阿那含,不還此世,是名增上意學。

「何等為增上慧學?是比丘重於戒,戒增上,重於定,定增上,重於慧,慧增上。彼如是知、如是見,欲有漏心解脫、有有漏心解脫、無明有漏心解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』是名增上慧學。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八二一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上面所說。不同之處在於:『什麼是增上戒學?』是指比丘重視戒律,戒律增上,不重視禪定,禪定不增上,不重視智慧,智慧不增上;對於那些細微的戒律,如果犯了就隨之懺悔。為什麼呢?我不是說他不能做到,如果那些戒律順應梵行、有益於梵行、能使梵行長久住世,這樣的比丘戒律堅固、戒師常在、戒律常常隨順而生,受持並學習。像這樣知道、像這樣看見,斷除三種結,即身見、戒取、疑。斷除這三種結,就證得須陀洹果,不墮入惡道,決定走向正覺,七次往返于天人之間,最終達到苦的盡頭,這稱為增上戒學。 『什麼是增上意學?』是指比丘重視戒律,戒律增上,重視禪定,禪定增上,不重視智慧,智慧不增上;對於那些細微的戒律,乃至受持學習戒律。像這樣知道、像這樣看見,斷除五種下分結,即身見、戒取、疑、貪慾、瞋恚。斷除這五種下分結,就受生后入般涅槃,成為阿那含,不再返回這個世間,這稱為增上意學。 『什麼是增上慧學?』是指比丘重視戒律,戒律增上,重視禪定,禪定增上,重視智慧,智慧增上。他像這樣知道、像這樣看見,欲有漏心解脫、有有漏心解脫、無明有漏心解脫,解脫後生起知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不再受後有。』這稱為增上慧學。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (八二一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: At that time, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus... as said above. The difference is: 'What is the higher training in morality? It is when a bhikkhu values morality, morality is higher, does not value concentration, concentration is not higher, does not value wisdom, wisdom is not higher; for each and every minor precept, if he violates it, he repents accordingly. Why is that? I do not say that he is incapable, if those precepts are in accordance with the holy life, beneficial to the holy life, and enable the holy life to last long, such a bhikkhu's morality is firm, the teacher of morality is always present, morality always arises accordingly, he upholds and learns. Knowing thus, seeing thus, he breaks three fetters, namely, self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, and doubt. Having broken these three fetters, he attains stream-entry, does not fall into the evil realms, is definitely headed for enlightenment, will be reborn among gods and humans seven times, and will ultimately reach the end of suffering. This is called the higher training in morality.' 'What is the higher training in mind? It is when a bhikkhu values morality, morality is higher, values concentration, concentration is higher, does not value wisdom, wisdom is not higher; for each and every minor precept, up to upholding and learning the precepts. Knowing thus, seeing thus, he breaks the five lower fetters, namely, self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, doubt, sensual desire, and ill-will. Having broken these five lower fetters, he is reborn and attains parinibbana, becoming a non-returner, not returning to this world. This is called the higher training in mind.' 'What is the higher training in wisdom? It is when a bhikkhu values morality, morality is higher, values concentration, concentration is higher, values wisdom, wisdom is higher. He knows thus, sees thus, his mind is liberated from the defilements of sensual desire, his mind is liberated from the defilements of existence, his mind is liberated from the defilements of ignorance, and upon liberation, he has the knowledge: 'Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more future existence.' This is called the higher training in wisdom.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. (821) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過二百五十戒,隨次半月來說波羅提木叉修多羅,若彼善男子自隨意所欲而學者,我為說三學。若學此三學,則攝受一切學戒。何等為三?謂增上戒學、增上意學、增上慧學。

「何等為增上戒學?是比丘重於戒,戒增上,不重於定,定不增上,不重於慧,慧不增上;于彼彼分細微戒,乃至受持學戒。如是知、如是見,斷三結,謂身見、戒取、疑,貪、恚、癡薄,成一種子道。彼地未等覺者,名斯陀含,彼地未等覺者,名家家,彼地未等覺者,名七有,彼地未等覺者,名隨法行,彼地未等覺者,名隨信行,是名增上戒學。

「何等為增上意學?是名比丘重於戒,戒增上,重於定,定增上,不重於慧,慧不增上;于彼彼分細微戒學,乃至受持學戒。如是知、如是見,斷五下分結,謂身見、戒取、疑、貪慾、瞋恚。斷此五下分,能得中般涅槃。彼地未等覺者,得生般涅槃,彼地未等覺者,得無行般涅槃,彼地未等覺者,得有行般涅槃,彼地未等覺者,得上流般涅槃,是名增上意學。

「何等為增上慧學?是比丘重於戒,戒增上,重於定,定增上,重於慧,慧增上

現代漢語譯本: 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『超過二百五十條戒律,按照次序在半月誦戒時宣說波羅提木叉經,如果那些善男子自願隨自己的意願學習,我為他們宣說三學。如果學習這三學,就能攝受一切戒律。哪三學呢?就是增上戒學、增上意學、增上慧學。』 『什麼是增上戒學?就是比丘重視戒律,戒律增上,不重視禪定,禪定不增上,不重視智慧,智慧不增上;對於那些細微的戒律,乃至受持學習戒律。像這樣知道、像這樣見到,斷除三種結縛,即身見、戒禁取見、懷疑,貪、嗔、癡薄弱,成就一種子道。在那一階段沒有完全覺悟的人,稱為斯陀含;在那一階段沒有完全覺悟的人,稱為家家;在那一階段沒有完全覺悟的人,稱為七有;在那一階段沒有完全覺悟的人,稱為隨法行;在那一階段沒有完全覺悟的人,稱為隨信行,這就是增上戒學。』 『什麼是增上意學?就是比丘重視戒律,戒律增上,重視禪定,禪定增上,不重視智慧,智慧不增上;對於那些細微的戒律,乃至受持學習戒律。像這樣知道、像這樣見到,斷除五種下分結,即身見、戒禁取見、懷疑、貪慾、嗔恚。斷除這五種下分結,能證得中般涅槃。在那一階段沒有完全覺悟的人,證得生般涅槃;在那一階段沒有完全覺悟的人,證得無行般涅槃;在那一階段沒有完全覺悟的人,證得有行般涅槃;在那一階段沒有完全覺悟的人,證得上流般涅槃,這就是增上意學。』 『什麼是增上慧學?就是比丘重視戒律,戒律增上,重視禪定,禪定增上,重視智慧,智慧增上

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Beyond the two hundred and fifty precepts, the Pratimoksha Sutra is recited in order every half month. If those good men willingly learn according to their own desires, I will teach them the three learnings. If they learn these three learnings, they will encompass all precepts. What are the three? They are the higher learning in morality, the higher learning in mind, and the higher learning in wisdom.' 'What is the higher learning in morality? It is when a bhikkhu values morality, morality is supreme, does not value concentration, concentration is not supreme, does not value wisdom, wisdom is not supreme; regarding those minor precepts, even to uphold and learn the precepts. Knowing thus, seeing thus, they break the three fetters, namely self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, and doubt; greed, hatred, and delusion are weakened, and they achieve the path of a once-returner. One who is not fully enlightened at that stage is called a Sakadagami; one who is not fully enlightened at that stage is called a 'family-to-family'; one who is not fully enlightened at that stage is called a 'seven-times-returner'; one who is not fully enlightened at that stage is called a 'follower of the Dharma'; one who is not fully enlightened at that stage is called a 'follower of faith'. This is the higher learning in morality.' 'What is the higher learning in mind? It is when a bhikkhu values morality, morality is supreme, values concentration, concentration is supreme, does not value wisdom, wisdom is not supreme; regarding those minor precepts, even to uphold and learn the precepts. Knowing thus, seeing thus, they break the five lower fetters, namely self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, doubt, sensual desire, and hatred. Having broken these five lower fetters, they can attain intermediate parinirvana. One who is not fully enlightened at that stage attains birth-parinirvana; one who is not fully enlightened at that stage attains effortless parinirvana; one who is not fully enlightened at that stage attains effortful parinirvana; one who is not fully enlightened at that stage attains upward-flowing parinirvana. This is the higher learning in mind.' 'What is the higher learning in wisdom? It is when a bhikkhu values morality, morality is supreme, values concentration, concentration is supreme, values wisdom, wisdom is supreme

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有二學。何等為二?謂上威儀學、上波羅提木叉學。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「學者學戒時,  直道隨順行,  專審勤方便,  善自護其身,  得初漏盡智,  次究竟無知,  得無知解脫,  知見悉已度。  成不動解脫,  諸有結滅盡,  彼諸根具足,  諸根寂靜樂,  持此後邊身,  摧伏眾魔怨。」

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「學戒多福利,住智慧為上,解脫堅固,念為增上。若比丘學戒福利,智慧為上,解脫堅固,念增上已,令三學滿足。何等為三?謂增上戒學、增上意學、增上慧學

現代漢語譯本 『什麼是增上慧學?』是指比丘在戒律上圓滿,在禪定上圓滿,在智慧上圓滿。像這樣認知、像這樣觀察,對於欲界的煩惱心得到解脫,對於色界的煩惱心得到解脫,對於無明的煩惱心得到解脫,獲得解脫的知見:『我此生已盡,清凈的修行已經確立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來世。』這稱為增上慧學。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(八二四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有兩種學。哪兩種呢?就是上威儀學和上波羅提木叉學。』 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『修行者在學習戒律時,應當以正直之道隨順而行,專心審慎地勤奮方便,好好地守護自身,獲得最初的煩惱滅盡的智慧,接著達到究竟的無知,獲得無知的解脫,知見都已超越。成就不可動搖的解脫,各種煩惱的束縛都已滅盡,他們諸根具足,諸根寂靜安樂,保持這最後的身體,摧伏眾魔的怨敵。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version 'What is higher wisdom training?' It refers to a bhikkhu who is complete in discipline, complete in concentration, and complete in wisdom. Knowing and seeing in this way, the mind is liberated from the defilements of desire, liberated from the defilements of existence, and liberated from the defilements of ignorance, gaining the knowledge of liberation: 'My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, I know for myself that there is no more future existence.' This is called higher wisdom training. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(824) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at Jeta's Grove in Anathapindika's Park in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'There are two trainings. What are the two? They are higher training in conduct and higher training in the Patimokkha.' Then, the Blessed One spoke these verses: 'When a trainee is learning the precepts, he should follow the straight path, diligently and carefully applying skillful means, well protecting himself, attaining the initial wisdom of the exhaustion of defilements, then reaching the ultimate absence of knowledge, attaining liberation from ignorance, and having completely transcended all views. Achieving unshakeable liberation, all bonds of defilements are extinguished, their faculties are complete, their faculties are peaceful and joyful, maintaining this final body, they subdue the enemies of all demons.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(825) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at Jeta's Grove in Anathapindika's Park in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'Learning the precepts has many benefits, wisdom is supreme, liberation is firm, and mindfulness is enhancing. If a bhikkhu learns the precepts with benefits, wisdom is supreme, liberation is firm, and mindfulness is enhanced, then he fulfills the three trainings. What are the three? They are higher training in discipline, higher training in mind, and higher training in wisdom.'


。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「學戒隨福利,  專思三昧禪,  智慧為最上,  現生之最後,  牟尼持後邊,  降魔度彼岸。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八二六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「諸比丘!何等為學戒隨福利?謂大師為諸聲聞制戒,所謂攝僧,極攝僧,不信者信,信者增其信,調伏惡人,慚愧者得樂住,現法防護有漏,未來得正對治,令梵行久住。如大師已為聲聞制戒,謂攝僧,乃至梵行久住。如是如是學戒者,行堅固戒、恒戒、常行戒、受持學戒,是名比丘戒福利。

「何等智慧為上?謂大師為聲聞說法,大悲哀愍,以義饒益,若安慰、若安樂、若安慰安樂。如是如是大師為諸聲聞說法,大悲哀愍,以義饒益,安慰安樂。如是如是于彼彼法、彼彼處,智慧觀察,是名比丘智慧為上。

「何等為解脫堅固?謂大師為諸聲聞說法,大悲哀愍,以義饒益,安慰安樂。如是如是說彼彼法。如是彼處如是彼處得解脫樂,是名比丘堅固解脫

現代漢語譯本 那時,世尊即說偈語: 『學習戒律能帶來福祉,專心思考禪定,智慧最為殊勝,這是今生的最後階段,牟尼佛持守最後,降伏魔障到達彼岸。』 佛陀說完此經,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (八二六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上所說。不同之處在於:『諸位比丘!什麼是學習戒律帶來的福祉?就是大師為諸位聲聞弟子制定戒律,目的是爲了攝持僧團,極其攝持僧團,使不信者生起信心,使已信者增長信心,調伏惡人,使有慚愧心的人能夠安樂居住,在現世防護有漏,在未來得到正確的對治,使梵行能夠長久住世。就像大師已經為聲聞弟子制定戒律,目的是爲了攝持僧團,乃至使梵行長久住世。像這樣學習戒律的人,能夠行持堅固的戒律、恒常的戒律、常行的戒律、受持學習戒律,這叫做比丘戒律的福祉。』 『什麼智慧最為殊勝?就是大師為聲聞弟子說法,以大悲心憐憫,用義理來饒益他們,無論是安慰、安樂,還是安慰和安樂。像這樣大師為諸位聲聞弟子說法,以大悲心憐憫,用義理來饒益他們,安慰和安樂。像這樣在各種法、各種地方,用智慧去觀察,這叫做比丘的智慧最為殊勝。』 『什麼是解脫的堅固?就是大師為諸位聲聞弟子說法,以大悲心憐憫,用義理來饒益他們,安慰和安樂。像這樣說各種法。像這樣在各種地方得到解脫的快樂,這叫做比丘的堅固解脫。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'Learning precepts brings blessings, focusing on meditative concentration, wisdom is the most supreme, this is the final stage of this life, the Muni holds the last, subduing demons and crossing to the other shore.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (826) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks... as said above. The difference is: 'Monks! What is the benefit of learning precepts? It is that the master establishes precepts for the disciples, the Sravakas, in order to gather the Sangha, to extremely gather the Sangha, to make the non-believers believe, to increase the faith of the believers, to subdue the wicked, to allow the ashamed to live in peace, to protect against outflows in the present life, to obtain the correct remedy in the future, and to make the Brahma-faring last long. Just as the master has already established precepts for the Sravakas, in order to gather the Sangha, and even to make the Brahma-faring last long. Those who learn precepts in this way, are able to practice firm precepts, constant precepts, regular precepts, and uphold the learning of precepts, this is called the benefit of the monk's precepts.' 'What wisdom is the most supreme? It is that the master speaks the Dharma to the Sravakas, with great compassion and pity, benefiting them with the meaning, whether it is comforting, peaceful, or comforting and peaceful. Just as the master speaks the Dharma to the Sravakas, with great compassion and pity, benefiting them with the meaning, comforting and peaceful. In this way, in various Dharmas, in various places, observing with wisdom, this is called the monk's wisdom being the most supreme.' 'What is the firmness of liberation? It is that the master speaks the Dharma to the Sravakas, with great compassion and pity, benefiting them with the meaning, comforting and peaceful. In this way, speaking various Dharmas. In this way, in various places, obtaining the joy of liberation, this is called the monk's firm liberation.'


「何等為比丘念增上?未滿足戒身者,專心繫念安住,未觀察者,于彼彼處智慧繫念安住,已觀察者,于彼彼處重念安住,未觸法者,于彼彼處解脫念安住,已觸法者,于彼彼處解脫念安住,是名比丘正念增上。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「學戒隨福利,  專思三昧禪,  智慧為最上,  現生最後邊,  牟尼持後邊,  降魔度彼岸。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

尸婆迦修多羅,如后,佛當說。

如是阿難陀比丘及異比丘所問、佛問諸比丘三經,亦如上說。

(八二七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如田夫有三種作田,隨時善作。何等為三?謂彼田夫隨時耕磨,隨時溉灌,隨時下種。彼田夫隨時耕磨、溉灌、下種已,不作是念:『欲令今日生長,今日果實,今日成熟,若明日、後日也。』諸比丘!然彼長者耕田、溉灌、下種已,不作是念:『今日生長、果實、成熟,若明日、若復後日。』而彼種子已入地中,則自隨時生長,果實成熟。如是,比丘於此三學隨時善學?謂善戒學、善意學、善慧學已,不作是念:『欲令我今日得不起諸漏,心善解脫,若明日、若後日

現代漢語譯本: 『什麼是比丘的正念增上?對於戒律尚未圓滿的比丘,應專注于繫念安住;對於尚未觀察的,應在各個方面以智慧繫念安住;對於已經觀察的,應在各個方面重念安住;對於尚未觸及法的,應在各個方面以解脫念安住;對於已經觸及法的,應在各個方面以解脫念安住,這稱為比丘的正念增上。』 當時,世尊即說了偈語: 『學習戒律能帶來福祉,專心思考禪定,智慧最為殊勝,此生是最後的邊際,牟尼持守這最後的邊際,降伏魔障,度過彼岸。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《尸婆迦修多羅》,如後文,佛陀將要講述。 像這樣,阿難陀比丘以及其他比丘所問,佛陀問眾比丘的三部經,也如上面所說。 (八二七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如農夫有三種耕作田地的方式,隨時都能做好。哪三種呢?就是農夫隨時耕地、磨地,隨時灌溉,隨時播種。農夫隨時耕地、灌溉、播種后,不會這樣想:『希望今天就生長,今天就結果實,今天就成熟,或者明天、後天。』諸位比丘!然而,農夫耕地、灌溉、播種后,不會這樣想:『今天就生長、結果實、成熟,或者明天、或者後天。』而種子一旦入土,就會自然地隨著時間生長,結果實成熟。同樣,比丘對於這三種學習隨時好好學習,即善戒學、善意學、善慧學后,不會這樣想:『希望我今天就能不起諸漏,心得到解脫,或者明天、或者後天。』

English version: 'What is a bhikkhu's increase in mindfulness? For a bhikkhu whose precepts are not yet fulfilled, he should focus his mind on abiding; for one who has not observed, he should abide with wisdom in mindfulness in various aspects; for one who has observed, he should abide with repeated mindfulness in various aspects; for one who has not touched the Dharma, he should abide with the mindfulness of liberation in various aspects; for one who has touched the Dharma, he should abide with the mindfulness of liberation in various aspects. This is called a bhikkhu's increase in mindfulness.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke the following verses: 'Learning the precepts brings blessings, focusing on meditation and samadhi, wisdom is the most supreme, this life is the final boundary, the Muni holds this final boundary, subdues the demons, and crosses to the other shore.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. The 'Sivaka Sutra,' as will be explained later, the Buddha will speak about. In this way, the three sutras asked by the bhikkhu Ananda and other bhikkhus, and asked by the Buddha to the bhikkhus, are also as described above. (827) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Suppose a farmer has three ways of cultivating the field, and he does them well at the right time. What are the three? They are that the farmer plows and harrows the field at the right time, irrigates it at the right time, and sows seeds at the right time. After the farmer plows, irrigates, and sows, he does not think: 'I wish it would grow today, bear fruit today, and ripen today, or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.' Bhikkhus! However, after the farmer plows, irrigates, and sows, he does not think: 'I wish it would grow, bear fruit, and ripen today, or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.' But once the seeds have entered the ground, they will naturally grow, bear fruit, and ripen in due time. Likewise, a bhikkhu, having well-learned these three trainings at the right time, namely, the training in good precepts, the training in good intention, and the training in good wisdom, does not think: 'I wish I could be free from all outflows today, and my mind would be liberated, or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.'


。』不作是念:『自然神力能令今日,若明日、後日,不起諸漏,心善解脫。』彼已隨時增上戒學、增上意學、增上慧學已,隨彼時節,自得不起諸漏,心善解脫。

「譬如,比丘!伏雞生卵,若十乃至十二,隨時訊息,冷暖愛護。彼伏雞不作是念:『我今日,若明日、後日,當以口啄,若以瓜刮,令其兒安隱得生。』然其伏雞善伏其子,愛護隨時,其子自然安隱得生。如是,比丘善學三學,隨其時節,自得不起諸漏,心善解脫。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八二八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如驢隨群牛而行,而作是念:『我作牛聲。』然其彼形亦不似牛,色亦不似牛,聲出不似,隨大群牛,謂己是牛,而作牛鳴,而去牛實遠。如是,有一愚癡男子違律犯戒,隨逐大眾,言:『我是比丘。我是比丘。』而不學習勝欲增上戒學、增上意學、增上慧學,隨逐大眾,自言:『我是比丘。我是比丘。』其實去比丘大遠。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「同蹄無角獸,  四足具聲口,  隨逐大群牛,  常以為等侶。  形亦非牛類,  不能作牛聲,  如是愚癡人,  不隨繫心念

現代漢語譯本:『不應該這樣想:』自然神力能使今天,或者明天、後天,不起各種煩惱,心得到徹底解脫。』他已經隨著時間增長了戒律的學習、心意的學習、智慧的學習,隨著時機成熟,自然能夠不起各種煩惱,心得到徹底解脫。 『比如,比丘們!母雞孵蛋,如果是十個甚至十二個,它會隨時注意,保持冷暖適宜並愛護它們。這隻母雞不會這樣想:』我今天,或者明天、後天,要用嘴啄,或者用爪子抓,讓我的孩子們安全地出生。』然而這隻母雞好好地孵著它的孩子們,隨時愛護它們,它的孩子們自然會安全地出生。同樣,比丘們,好好學習三學,隨著時機成熟,自然能夠不起各種煩惱,心得到徹底解脫。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地接受並奉行。 (八二八) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『比如,驢子跟隨著牛群行走,卻這樣想:』我發出的是牛的聲音。』然而它的外形不像牛,顏色也不像牛,發出的聲音也不像牛,它跟隨著大群牛,就認為自己是牛,發出牛的叫聲,但實際上離牛很遠。同樣,有一個愚癡的人違背戒律,犯了戒,卻跟隨著大眾,說:』我是比丘。我是比丘。』他不學習提升慾望的戒律,不學習提升心意的戒律,不學習提升智慧的戒律,只是跟隨著大眾,自己說:』我是比丘。我是比丘。』實際上他離真正的比丘很遠。』 那時,世尊就說了偈語: 『同蹄沒有角的獸,四條腿有聲音和嘴巴,跟隨著大群牛,常常認為自己是同伴。外形不像牛,也不能發出牛的聲音,就像愚癡的人,不跟隨繫念的心。』

English version: 'One should not think: 'Natural divine power can make it so that today, or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, no defilements arise, and the mind is well liberated.' Having increased in the study of precepts, the study of mind, and the study of wisdom over time, at the appropriate time, one naturally attains the non-arising of defilements, and the mind is well liberated. 'For example, bhikkhus! A hen incubating eggs, if there are ten or even twelve, will constantly attend to them, keeping them warm and caring for them. That hen does not think: 'Today, or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, I will peck with my beak or scratch with my claws to ensure my chicks are safely born.' Yet, that hen incubates her chicks well, caring for them constantly, and her chicks are naturally born safely. Likewise, bhikkhus, by diligently studying the three trainings, at the appropriate time, one naturally attains the non-arising of defilements, and the mind is well liberated.' After the Buddha finished speaking this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. (828) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'For example, a donkey follows a herd of cows, and thinks: 'I am making the sound of a cow.' However, its form is not like a cow, its color is not like a cow, and the sound it makes is not like a cow. It follows the large herd of cows, thinking it is a cow, and makes the sound of a cow, but in reality, it is far from being a cow. Likewise, there is a foolish man who violates the precepts, breaks the rules, and follows the crowd, saying: 'I am a bhikkhu. I am a bhikkhu.' He does not study the precepts that enhance desire, does not study the precepts that enhance the mind, and does not study the precepts that enhance wisdom. He merely follows the crowd, saying to himself: 'I am a bhikkhu. I am a bhikkhu.' In reality, he is very far from being a true bhikkhu.' Then, the Blessed One spoke these verses: 'A beast with hooves but no horns, with four legs, a voice, and a mouth, follows a large herd of cows, always thinking it is one of them. Its form is not that of a cow, nor can it make the sound of a cow. Likewise, a foolish person does not follow the mind that is focused.'


。  于善逝教誡,  無慾勤方便,  懈怠心輕慢,  不獲無上道。  如驢在群牛,  去牛常自遠,  彼雖隨大眾,  內行常自乖。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八二九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住跋耆聚落,尊者跋耆子侍佛左右。

爾時,尊者跋耆子詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!佛說過二百五十戒,令族姓子隨次半月來說波羅提木叉修多羅,令諸族姓子隨欲而學。然今,世尊!我不堪能隨學而學。」

佛告跋耆子:「汝堪能隨時學三學不?」

跋耆子白佛言:「堪能,世尊!」

佛告跋耆子:「汝當隨時增上戒學、增上意學、增上慧學。隨時精勤增上戒學、增上意學、增上慧學已,不久當得盡諸有漏,無漏心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

爾時,尊者跋耆子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

爾時,尊者跋耆子受佛教誡、教授已,獨一靜處,專精思惟……如上說,乃至心善解脫,得阿羅漢

現代漢語譯本 對於佛陀的教誨,應當無慾地勤奮修行,如果懈怠輕慢,就無法獲得無上的覺悟之道。如同驢子在牛群中,總是遠離牛群,雖然身處大眾之中,但內心的行為卻總是與大眾相悖。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 (八二九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在跋耆聚落,尊者跋耆子在佛陀左右侍奉。 當時,尊者跋耆子來到佛陀處,頂禮佛足后,退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!佛陀說過二百五十條戒律,讓族姓子弟每半個月輪流誦讀波羅提木叉經,讓族姓子弟根據自己的意願學習。然而,世尊!我現在不能夠完全按照這些戒律去學習。』 佛陀告訴跋耆子:『你能夠隨時學習三學嗎?』 跋耆子對佛陀說:『能夠,世尊!』 佛陀告訴跋耆子:『你應當隨時增進戒學、增進意學、增進慧學。當你隨時精勤增進戒學、增進意學、增進慧學后,不久就能斷盡一切煩惱,獲得無漏的心解脫和慧解脫,在今生就能親自證悟:『我已斷盡輪迴,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』 當時,尊者跋耆子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 當時,尊者跋耆子接受佛陀的教誨和指導后,獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心思考……如上面所說,乃至內心得到徹底的解脫,證得阿羅漢果。

English version Regarding the teachings of the Buddha, one should diligently practice without desire. If one is lazy and disrespectful, one will not attain the supreme path of enlightenment. Like a donkey among a herd of cows, it always stays away from the cows. Although it is among the crowd, its inner actions are always contrary to the crowd. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. (829) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the village of Vajjis, and the venerable Vajjiputta was attending to the Buddha's needs. At that time, the venerable Vajjiputta went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and stood to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, the Buddha has spoken of two hundred and fifty precepts, instructing the sons of noble families to recite the Patimokkha Sutra every half month, allowing them to learn as they wish. However, Venerable Sir, I am now unable to fully learn and practice all of these precepts.' The Buddha said to Vajjiputta, 'Are you able to learn the three trainings at all times?' Vajjiputta replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir, I am able.' The Buddha said to Vajjiputta, 'You should always cultivate higher training in morality, higher training in mind, and higher training in wisdom. When you diligently cultivate higher training in morality, higher training in mind, and higher training in wisdom, you will soon be able to exhaust all defilements, attain the taintless liberation of mind and liberation of wisdom, and realize for yourself in this very life: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』' At that time, the venerable Vajjiputta, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised it, and then departed after paying his respects. At that time, the venerable Vajjiputta, having received the Buddha's teachings and instructions, went to a solitary and quiet place, and focused his mind on contemplation... as described above, until his mind was completely liberated, and he attained the state of an Arhat.

一時,佛住崩伽阇崩伽耆林中。

爾時,世尊為諸比丘說戒相應法,讚歎制戒法。

爾時,尊者迦葉氏于崩伽聚落住,聞世尊說戒相應法,讚歎是戒,極心不忍不喜,言:「此沙門極讚歎是戒,極制是戒。」

爾時,世尊于崩伽聚落隨所樂住已,向舍衛國去,次第遊行,至舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,尊者迦葉氏,世尊去後不久,心即生悔:「我今失利,得大不利,於世尊所說戒相應法,讚歎制戒時,於世尊所,心不忍不喜,心不歡喜,而作是言:『沙門極制是戒,極讚歎是戒。』」

時,尊者迦葉氏夜過晨朝,著衣持缽,入崩伽聚落乞食。食已,還精舍,付囑臥具,自持衣缽,向舍衛城次第遊行,至舍衛國,舉衣缽,洗足已,詣世尊,稽首禮足,白佛言:「悔過。世尊!悔過。善逝!我愚我癡,不善不辨。我聞世尊為諸比丘說戒相應法,讚歎制戒時,於世尊所,不忍不喜,心不欣樂,而作是言:『是沙門極制是戒,讚歎是戒

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在崩伽阇崩伽耆林中。

那時,世尊為眾比丘宣說與戒律相應的法,讚歎制定戒律的法。

那時,尊者迦葉氏住在崩伽聚落,聽到世尊宣說與戒律相應的法,讚歎戒律,內心極度不忍受、不歡喜,說:『這位沙門極力讚歎戒律,極力制定戒律。』

那時,世尊在崩伽聚落隨心所欲地住了一段時間后,向舍衛國出發,次第行進,到達舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,尊者迦葉氏,世尊離開后不久,心中就生起悔恨:『我如今失去了利益,得到了巨大的不利,在世尊宣說與戒律相應的法,讚歎制定戒律時,對世尊,內心不忍受、不歡喜,內心不高興,而說了這樣的話:『沙門極力制定戒律,極力讚歎戒律。』

當時,尊者迦葉氏夜晚過去,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入崩伽聚落乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,安排好臥具,自己拿著衣缽,向舍衛城次第行進,到達舍衛國,放下衣缽,洗完腳,前往世尊處,頂禮佛足,向佛稟告說:『我懺悔。世尊!我懺悔。善逝!我愚癡,不善於分辨。我聽到世尊為眾比丘宣說與戒律相應的法,讚歎制定戒律時,對世尊,不忍受、不歡喜,內心不高興,而說了這樣的話:『這位沙門極力制定戒律,讚歎戒律。』

English version The Miscellaneous Āgama Sutra, Scroll 29 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 02, No. 0099, Miscellaneous Āgama Sutra

The Miscellaneous Āgama Sutra, Scroll 30

Translated by Tripiṭaka Guṇabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

(830)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bhaṅgaja Bhaṅgajaghī Grove.

At that time, the World-Honored One was explaining to the monks the Dharma that corresponds to the precepts, praising the Dharma of establishing precepts.

At that time, the Venerable Kāśyapa was dwelling in the Bhaṅga village. Upon hearing the World-Honored One explain the Dharma that corresponds to the precepts and praise the precepts, he was extremely intolerant and displeased, saying, 'This Śramaṇa greatly praises the precepts and greatly establishes the precepts.'

At that time, the World-Honored One, having stayed in the Bhaṅga village as long as he pleased, departed for Śrāvastī, proceeding in stages until he reached the Jeta Grove in Śrāvastī, the Garden of Anāthapiṇḍada.

Then, not long after the World-Honored One had left, the Venerable Kāśyapa felt remorse, saying, 'I have now lost benefit and gained great disadvantage. When the World-Honored One was explaining the Dharma that corresponds to the precepts and praising the establishment of precepts, I was intolerant and displeased towards the World-Honored One, and I was not happy, and I said, 「The Śramaṇa greatly establishes the precepts and greatly praises the precepts.」'

Then, the Venerable Kāśyapa, after the night had passed and morning had come, put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered the Bhaṅga village to beg for food. After eating, he returned to the monastery, arranged his bedding, and, taking his robes and bowl, proceeded in stages towards Śrāvastī. Upon arriving in Śrāvastī, he put down his robes and bowl, washed his feet, and went to the World-Honored One, bowed his head at his feet, and said to the Buddha, 'I repent. World-Honored One! I repent. Well-Gone One! I am foolish and ignorant, not good at discerning. When I heard the World-Honored One explaining to the monks the Dharma that corresponds to the precepts and praising the establishment of precepts, I was intolerant and displeased towards the World-Honored One, and I was not happy, and I said, 「This Śramaṇa greatly establishes the precepts and praises the precepts.」'


。』」

佛告迦葉氏:「汝何時於我所,心不忍不喜,不生欣樂,而作是言:『此沙門極制是戒,讚歎是戒。』?」

迦葉氏白佛言:「時,世尊于崩伽阇聚落崩伽耆林中,為諸比丘說戒相應法,讚歎是戒。我爾時於世尊所,心得不忍、不歡喜,心不欣樂,而作是言:『是沙門極制是戒,讚歎是戒。』世尊!我今日自知罪悔,自見罪悔,唯愿世尊受我悔過,哀愍故!」

佛告迦葉氏:「汝自知悔、愚癡、不善不辨,聞我為諸比丘說戒相應法,讚歎制戒,而於我所,不忍不喜,心不欣樂,而作是言:『是沙門極制是戒,極嘆是戒。』汝今迦葉自知悔、自見悔已,于未來世,律儀戒生戒,今授汝,哀愍故。迦葉氏!如是悔者,善法增長,終不退減。所以者何?若有自知罪、自見罪而悔過者,于未來世,律儀戒生,善法增長,不退減故。

「正使迦葉為上座者,不欲學戒、不重於戒、不嘆制戒,如是比丘我不讚嘆。所以者何?若大師所讚歎者,餘人則復與相習近,恭敬親重;若餘人與相習近親重者,則與同見,同彼所作;同彼所作者,長夜當得不饒益苦。是故我于彼長老初不讚嘆,以其初始不樂學戒故。如長老,中年、少年亦如是

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴迦葉氏:『你何時在我這裡,心中不忍耐、不歡喜,不生欣悅,而說這樣的話:『這個沙門極力制定戒律,讚歎戒律』?』 迦葉氏對佛說:『那時,世尊在崩伽阇聚落的崩伽耆林中,為眾比丘宣說與戒律相應的法,讚歎戒律。我那時在世尊這裡,心中不能忍耐、不歡喜,心中不欣悅,而說這樣的話:『這個沙門極力制定戒律,讚歎戒律。』世尊!我今天自己知道罪過,自己看到罪過,只希望世尊接受我的懺悔,因為憐憫的緣故!』 佛陀告訴迦葉氏:『你自知悔過,是愚癡、不善、不辨是非。聽到我為眾比丘宣說與戒律相應的法,讚歎制定戒律,卻在我這裡,不能忍耐、不歡喜,心中不欣悅,而說這樣的話:『這個沙門極力制定戒律,極力讚歎戒律。』你現在迦葉自己知道悔過、自己看到悔過之後,在未來世,律儀戒會生起,現在我授予你,因為憐憫的緣故。迦葉氏!像這樣懺悔的人,善法會增長,最終不會退減。為什麼呢?如果有人自己知道罪過、自己看到罪過而懺悔,在未來世,律儀戒會生起,善法會增長,不會退減。 『即使迦葉是上座,不願學習戒律、不重視戒律、不讚嘆制定戒律,這樣的比丘我不會讚歎。為什麼呢?如果大師所讚歎的人,其他人就會與他親近,恭敬尊重;如果其他人與他親近尊重,就會與他同見,與他所作相同;與他所作相同的人,長夜將得不到利益,遭受痛苦。因此我對於那位長老最初不讚嘆,因為他最初不樂於學習戒律。像長老一樣,中年、少年也是如此。』

English version The Buddha said to Kasyapa: 'When did you, in my presence, feel impatient, displeased, and not joyful, and say these words: 'This ascetic is extremely strict in establishing precepts and praises them'?' Kasyapa said to the Buddha: 'At that time, World Honored One, in the Bhangaja settlement, in the Bhangagiri forest, you were explaining the Dharma corresponding to the precepts to the monks, and praising the precepts. At that time, in the presence of the World Honored One, my heart was impatient, displeased, and not joyful, and I said these words: 'This ascetic is extremely strict in establishing precepts and praises them.' World Honored One! Today I know my own fault, I see my own fault, I only hope that the World Honored One will accept my repentance, out of compassion!' The Buddha said to Kasyapa: 'You know your own repentance, you are foolish, not good, and cannot discern. Hearing me explain the Dharma corresponding to the precepts to the monks, and praising the establishment of precepts, yet in my presence, you were impatient, displeased, and not joyful, and said these words: 'This ascetic is extremely strict in establishing precepts and extremely praises them.' Now that you, Kasyapa, know your own repentance and see your own repentance, in the future, the precepts of discipline will arise, and now I grant them to you, out of compassion. Kasyapa! Those who repent in this way will have their good Dharma grow and will never diminish. Why is that? If someone knows their own fault, sees their own fault, and repents, in the future, the precepts of discipline will arise, good Dharma will grow, and will not diminish.' 'Even if Kasyapa is an elder, if he does not wish to learn the precepts, does not value the precepts, and does not praise the establishment of precepts, I will not praise such a monk. Why is that? If someone is praised by the master, others will associate with him, respect and honor him; if others associate with him, respect and honor him, they will share his views and do as he does; those who do as he does will not gain benefit and will suffer for a long time. Therefore, I do not praise that elder from the beginning, because he was not happy to learn the precepts from the beginning. Like the elder, the middle-aged and the young are also the same.'


「若是上座長老初始重於戒學,讚歎制戒,如是長老我所讚歎,以其初始樂戒學故。大師所讚歎者,餘人亦當與相習近親重,同其所見;同其所見故,于未來世,彼當長夜以義饒益。是故於彼長老比丘常當讚歎,以初始樂學戒故。中年、少年亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八三一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若諸上座長老比丘初始不樂學戒、不重於戒,見余比丘初樂學戒、重於戒、讚歎制戒者,彼亦不隨時讚歎,我於此等比丘所亦不讚嘆,以其初始不樂學戒故。所以者何?若大師讚歎彼者,餘人當複習近親重,同其所見;以同其所見故,長夜當受不饒益苦。是故我于彼長老,中年、少年亦復如是。樂學戒者,如前說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八三二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有三學。何等為三?謂增上戒學、增上意學、增上慧學。何等為增上戒學?若比丘住于戒波羅提木叉,具足威儀行處,見微細罪則生怖畏,受持學戒,是名增上戒學

現代漢語譯本 『如果上座長老最初重視戒律的學習,讚美制定戒律,這樣的長老我讚歎,因為他最初就喜歡學習戒律。大師所讚歎的人,其他人也應當親近、尊重,認同他的觀點;因為認同他的觀點,在未來世,他們將長久地獲得利益。因此,對於那些最初就喜歡學習戒律的長老比丘,應當常常讚歎。中年和少年比丘也應如此。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (八三一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果上座長老比丘最初不喜歡學習戒律、不重視戒律,看到其他比丘最初喜歡學習戒律、重視戒律、讚美制定戒律,他們也不及時讚歎,對於這樣的比丘我也不讚嘆,因為他們最初不喜歡學習戒律。為什麼呢?如果大師讚歎他們,其他人也會親近、尊重,認同他們的觀點;因為認同他們的觀點,他們將長久地遭受沒有利益的痛苦。因此,對於那些長老、中年和少年比丘,我也同樣不讚嘆。喜歡學習戒律的人,如前面所說。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (八三二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有三種學。哪三種呢?即增上戒學、增上意學、增上慧學。什麼是增上戒學呢?如果比丘安住于戒律波羅提木叉,具足威儀行止,見到微小的罪過就心生畏懼,受持學習戒律,這稱為增上戒學。』

English version 『If a senior elder initially values the study of precepts, and praises the establishment of precepts, such an elder I commend, because he initially delights in the study of precepts. Those whom the master commends, others should also approach, respect, and agree with their views; because they agree with their views, in the future they will benefit for a long time. Therefore, those elder monks who initially delight in the study of precepts should always be praised. The same applies to middle-aged and young monks.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (831) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 『If senior elder monks initially do not delight in the study of precepts, do not value precepts, and when they see other monks who initially delight in the study of precepts, value precepts, and praise the establishment of precepts, they do not praise them in a timely manner, I do not commend such monks either, because they initially do not delight in the study of precepts. Why is that? If the master commends them, others will also approach, respect, and agree with their views; because they agree with their views, they will suffer from non-beneficial pain for a long time. Therefore, I do not commend those elders, middle-aged, and young monks either. Those who delight in the study of precepts are as previously stated.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (832) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 『There are three trainings. What are the three? They are the higher training in precepts, the higher training in mind, and the higher training in wisdom. What is the higher training in precepts? If a monk dwells in the precepts of the Patimokkha, is complete in deportment and conduct, and feels fear at the slightest transgression, and upholds and studies the precepts, this is called the higher training in precepts.』


。何等為增上意學?若比丘離諸惡不善法,有覺有觀,離生喜樂,初禪具足住,乃至第四禪具足住,是名增上意學。何等為增上慧學?若比丘此苦聖諦如實知,此苦集聖諦、此苦滅聖諦、此苦滅道跡聖諦如實知,是名增上慧學。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

三學余經,如前念處說。

如禪,如是無量、無色。如四聖諦,如是四念處、四正斷、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺分、八聖道、四道、四法句、止觀修習,亦如是說。

(八三三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離國獼猴池側重閣講堂。

時,有善調象師離車,名曰難陀,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告離車難陀言:「若聖弟子成就四不壞凈者,欲求壽命,即得壽命,求好色、力、樂、辯、自在即得。何等為四?謂佛不壞凈成就,法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。我見是聖弟子於此命終,生於天上,于天上得十種法。何等為十?得天壽、天色、天名稱、天樂、天自在,天色、聲、香、味、觸。若聖弟子于天上命終,來生人中者,我見彼十事具足。何等為十?人間壽命、人好色、名稱、樂、自在、色、聲、香、味、觸

現代漢語譯本:什麼是增上意學?如果比丘舍離一切惡和不善的法,有覺有觀,因舍離而生喜樂,圓滿安住于初禪,乃至圓滿安住于第四禪,這稱為增上意學。什麼是增上慧學?如果比丘如實知曉這苦聖諦,如實知曉這苦集聖諦、這苦滅聖諦、這苦滅之道聖諦,這稱為增上慧學。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 關於三學的其他經典,如前面所說的念處一樣。 如禪定一樣,無量、無色也是如此。如四聖諦一樣,四念處、四正斷、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺支、八聖道、四道、四法句、止觀修習,也都是這樣說的。 (八三三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離國獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,有一位善於調象的離車人,名叫難陀,來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。 這時,世尊告訴離車難陀說:『如果聖弟子成就四種不壞的清凈,想要壽命,就能得到壽命;想要好的容貌、力量、快樂、辯才、自在,就能得到。哪四種呢?就是成就對佛的不壞清凈,對法、僧的不壞清凈,以及成就聖戒。我看到這位聖弟子在此命終后,會生到天上,在天上得到十種法。哪十種呢?得到天上的壽命、容貌、名稱、快樂、自在,以及色、聲、香、味、觸。如果這位聖弟子在天上命終,來生到人間,我看到他也會具足這十種。哪十種呢?人間壽命、好的容貌、名稱、快樂、自在,以及色、聲、香、味、觸。』

English version: What is higher mind training? If a bhikkhu, having abandoned all evil and unwholesome states, with initial and sustained thought, experiencing joy and pleasure born of seclusion, dwells in the first jhana, and so on, up to dwelling in the fourth jhana, this is called higher mind training. What is higher wisdom training? If a bhikkhu truly understands this noble truth of suffering, truly understands this noble truth of the origin of suffering, this noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and this noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, this is called higher wisdom training. Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's words. Other discourses on the three trainings are as described in the previous discourse on the foundations of mindfulness. As with jhana, so too with the immeasurables and the formless realms. As with the four noble truths, so too with the four foundations of mindfulness, the four right exertions, the four bases of power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven factors of enlightenment, the noble eightfold path, the four paths, the four statements of the Dhamma, and the practice of calm and insight. (833) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the multi-storied hall near the Monkey Pond in the country of Vesali. Then, a skilled elephant trainer of the Licchavis, named Nanda, came to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. At that time, the Blessed One said to the Licchavi Nanda: 'If a noble disciple is accomplished in four kinds of indestructible confidence, if he desires long life, he obtains long life; if he desires good looks, strength, happiness, eloquence, and freedom, he obtains them. What are the four? They are the accomplishment of indestructible confidence in the Buddha, indestructible confidence in the Dhamma, indestructible confidence in the Sangha, and the accomplishment of noble morality. I see that this noble disciple, upon death, is reborn in heaven, and in heaven he obtains ten things. What are the ten? He obtains heavenly life, heavenly looks, heavenly fame, heavenly happiness, heavenly freedom, and heavenly forms, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches. If this noble disciple, upon death in heaven, is reborn among humans, I see that he also possesses these ten things. What are the ten? Human life, good looks, fame, happiness, freedom, and forms, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches.'


。我說彼多聞聖弟子不由他信、不由他欲、不從他聞、不取他意、不因他思,我說彼有如實正慧知見。」

爾時,難陀有從者,白難陀言:「浴時已到,今可去矣!」

難陀答言:「我今不須人間澡浴,我今於此勝妙法以自沐浴,所謂於世尊所得清凈信樂。」

爾時,離車調象師難陀聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起,作禮而去。

(八三四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離國獼猴池側重閣講堂。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若聖弟子成就四不壞凈者,不於人中貧活而活,不寒乞,自然富足。何等為四?謂于佛不壞凈成就,法、僧、聖戒不壞凈成就。是故,比丘!當如是學:『我當成就於佛不壞凈,法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八三五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「轉輪王七寶具足,成就人中四種神力,王四天下,身壞命終,生於天上。雖復轉輪聖王七寶具足,成就人間神力,王四天下,身壞命終,得生天上,然猶未斷地獄、畜生、餓鬼惡趣之苦。所以者何?以轉輪王不得於佛不壞凈,法、僧不壞凈,聖戒不成就故

現代漢語譯本:我說,那些多聞的聖弟子,不是因為相信別人,不是因為慾望,不是從別人那裡聽來的,不是接受別人的意思,也不是因為別人的思考,我說他們擁有如實的正確智慧和見解。 當時,難陀的隨從告訴難陀說:『沐浴的時間到了,現在可以去了!』 難陀回答說:『我現在不需要人間的洗浴,我現在要用這殊勝的佛法來沐浴自己,也就是對世尊所獲得的清凈的信仰和喜悅。』 當時,離車族的調象師難陀聽了佛陀所說的話,歡喜讚歎,從座位上站起來,行禮后離開了。 (八三四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離國獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果聖弟子成就了四種不壞的清凈,就不會在人間過著貧困的生活,不會乞討,自然會富足。哪四種呢?就是對佛陀的不壞清凈的成就,對法、僧、聖戒的不壞清凈的成就。因此,比丘們!應當這樣學習:『我應當成就對佛陀的不壞清凈,對法、僧的不壞清凈,成就聖戒。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (八三五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『轉輪王具備七寶,成就人間四種神力,統治四天下,身壞命終后,會生到天上。即使轉輪聖王具備七寶,成就人間神力,統治四天下,身壞命終后,能夠生到天上,但仍然沒有斷除地獄、畜生、餓鬼等惡道的痛苦。為什麼呢?因為轉輪王沒有獲得對佛陀的不壞清凈,對法、僧的不壞清凈,也沒有成就聖戒。』

English version: I say that those well-learned noble disciples, not by believing others, not by desire, not from hearing from others, not by accepting others' ideas, nor because of others' thoughts, I say they possess true and correct wisdom and insight. At that time, Nanda's attendant said to Nanda, 'The time for bathing has arrived, now you can go!' Nanda replied, 'I do not need earthly bathing now, I will now bathe myself in this supreme Dharma, that is, the pure faith and joy obtained in the World Honored One.' At that time, Nanda, the elephant trainer of the Licchavi clan, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, rose from his seat, bowed, and departed. (834) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the multi-storied lecture hall by the side of the Monkey Pond in the country of Vaishali. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'If a noble disciple achieves the four indestructible purities, they will not live a poor life among humans, they will not beg, they will naturally be wealthy. What are the four? They are the achievement of indestructible purity in the Buddha, the achievement of indestructible purity in the Dharma, the Sangha, and the noble precepts. Therefore, monks! You should learn like this: 'I should achieve indestructible purity in the Buddha, indestructible purity in the Dharma and the Sangha, and achieve the noble precepts.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (835) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'A wheel-turning king possesses the seven treasures, achieves the four divine powers among humans, rules the four continents, and after his body breaks and his life ends, he will be born in heaven. Even if a wheel-turning holy king possesses the seven treasures, achieves divine powers among humans, rules the four continents, and after his body breaks and his life ends, he can be born in heaven, he still has not cut off the suffering of hell, animals, and hungry ghosts. Why is that? Because the wheel-turning king has not obtained indestructible purity in the Buddha, indestructible purity in the Dharma and the Sangha, nor has he achieved the noble precepts.'


「多聞聖弟子持糞掃衣,家家乞食,草蓐臥具;而彼多聞聖弟子解脫地獄、畜生、餓鬼惡趣之苦。所以者何?以彼多聞聖弟子于佛不壞凈,法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。是故,諸比丘!當作是學:『于佛不壞凈,法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八三六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「汝等當起哀愍心、慈悲心。若有人于汝等所說樂聞樂受者,汝當爲說四不壞凈,令入令住。何等為四?于佛不壞凈、於法不壞凈、于僧不壞凈、于聖戒成就。所以者何?若四大——地、水、火、風,有變易增損,此四不壞凈未嘗增損變異。彼無增損變異者,謂多聞聖弟子于佛不壞凈成就,若墮地獄、畜生、餓鬼者,無有是處!是故,諸比丘!當作是學:『我當成就於佛不壞凈,法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就,亦當建立餘人,令成就。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八三七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若信人者,生五種過患,彼人或時犯戒違律,為眾所棄

現代漢語譯本 『多聞的聖弟子穿著從垃圾堆撿來的衣服,挨家挨戶乞食,以草為床。然而,這位多聞的聖弟子卻能解脫地獄、畜生、餓鬼等惡道的痛苦。這是為什麼呢?因為這位多聞的聖弟子對佛有不壞的凈信,對法有不壞的凈信,對僧有不壞的凈信,併成就了聖戒。因此,諸位比丘!應當這樣學習:『對佛有不壞的凈信,對法有不壞的凈信,對僧有不壞的凈信,併成就聖戒。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (八三六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『你們應當生起哀憫心、慈悲心。如果有人樂意聽聞並接受你們所說的,你們應當為他們宣說四不壞凈,使他們進入並安住其中。哪四種呢?對佛有不壞的凈信,對法有不壞的凈信,對僧有不壞的凈信,併成就聖戒。這是為什麼呢?因為四大——地、水、火、風,會有變易增減,但這四不壞凈卻不會有增減變異。那些沒有增減變異的人,指的是多聞的聖弟子成就了對佛的不壞凈信,如果他們會墮入地獄、畜生、餓鬼道,那是不可能的!因此,諸位比丘!應當這樣學習:『我應當成就對佛的不壞凈信,對法、僧的不壞凈信,併成就聖戒,也應當幫助其他人建立併成就這些。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (八三七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果信任他人,會產生五種過患,那人有時會犯戒違律,被大眾所拋棄。

English version 'The well-learned noble disciple wears clothes made from discarded rags, begs for food from house to house, and uses grass for bedding. Yet, this well-learned noble disciple is liberated from the suffering of hell, animals, and hungry ghosts. Why is this so? Because this well-learned noble disciple has unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma, unwavering faith in the Sangha, and has achieved the noble precepts. Therefore, O monks! You should learn thus: 'To have unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma, unwavering faith in the Sangha, and to achieve the noble precepts.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (836) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'You should arise with a mind of compassion and loving-kindness. If there are those who are willing to hear and accept what you say, you should explain to them the four unwavering faiths, so that they may enter and abide in them. What are the four? Unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma, unwavering faith in the Sangha, and the achievement of the noble precepts. Why is this so? Because the four great elements—earth, water, fire, and wind—are subject to change and increase or decrease, but these four unwavering faiths never increase, decrease, or change. Those who do not increase, decrease, or change are the well-learned noble disciples who have achieved unwavering faith in the Buddha. If they were to fall into hell, the animal realm, or the realm of hungry ghosts, it would be impossible! Therefore, O monks! You should learn thus: 'I should achieve unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and achieve the noble precepts, and I should also help others to establish and achieve these.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (837) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'If one trusts in people, five kinds of faults will arise. That person may sometimes violate the precepts and rules, and be abandoned by the community.'


。恭敬其人者,當作是念:『此是我師,我所重敬,眾僧棄薄,我今何緣入彼塔寺?』不入塔寺已,不敬眾僧;不敬僧已,不得聞法;不聞法已,退失善法,不得久住于正法中。是名信敬人生初過患。

「複次,敬信人者,所敬之人犯戒違律,眾僧為作不見舉。敬信彼人者,當作是念:『此是我師,我所敬重,而今眾僧作不見舉,我今何緣復入塔寺?』不入塔寺已,不敬眾僧;不敬眾僧已,不得聞法;不聞法已,退失善法,不得久住于正法中。是名敬信人故生第二過患。

「複次,彼人若持衣缽,余方遊行。敬彼人者,而作是念:『我所敬人著衣持缽,人間遊行,我今何緣入彼塔寺?』不入塔寺已,不得恭敬眾僧;不敬眾僧已,不得聞法;不聞法已,退失善法,不得久住于正法中。是名敬信人故生第三過患。

「複次,彼所信敬人舍戒還俗。敬信彼人者,而作是念:『彼是我師,我所敬重,舍戒還俗,我今不應入彼塔寺。』不入寺已,不敬眾僧;不敬僧已,不得聞法;不聞法已,退失善法,不得久住于正法中。是名敬信人故生第四過患。

「複次,彼所信敬人身壞命終

現代漢語譯本:尊敬某人時,應當這樣想:『這是我的老師,我所敬重的人,眾僧都輕視他,我如今有什麼理由進入他所在的塔寺呢?』不進入塔寺后,就不尊敬眾僧;不尊敬眾僧后,就不能聽聞佛法;不能聽聞佛法后,就會退失善法,不能長久安住于正法之中。這便是因信敬個人而產生的第一個過患。 其次,尊敬信賴某人時,如果所尊敬的人犯戒違背戒律,眾僧對他進行不見舉(即不與他交往)。尊敬信賴此人的人,應當這樣想:『這是我的老師,我所敬重的人,如今眾僧對他進行不見舉,我如今有什麼理由再進入他所在的塔寺呢?』不進入塔寺后,就不尊敬眾僧;不尊敬眾僧后,就不能聽聞佛法;不能聽聞佛法后,就會退失善法,不能長久安住于正法之中。這便是因信敬個人而產生的第二個過患。 再次,如果那人拿著衣缽,到其他地方去。尊敬那人的人,就會這樣想:『我所尊敬的人穿著僧衣拿著缽,到人間遊走,我如今有什麼理由進入他所在的塔寺呢?』不進入塔寺后,就不能恭敬眾僧;不恭敬眾僧后,就不能聽聞佛法;不能聽聞佛法后,就會退失善法,不能長久安住于正法之中。這便是因信敬個人而產生的第三個過患。 再次,如果所信敬的人捨棄戒律還俗。尊敬信賴此人的人,就會這樣想:『這是我的老師,我所敬重的人,他捨棄戒律還俗了,我如今不應該進入他所在的塔寺。』不進入寺廟后,就不尊敬眾僧;不尊敬眾僧后,就不能聽聞佛法;不能聽聞佛法后,就會退失善法,不能長久安住于正法之中。這便是因信敬個人而產生的第四個過患。 再次,如果所信敬的人身壞命終。

English version: When respecting someone, one should think: 『This is my teacher, the one I respect. The Sangha disregards him, so why should I enter his pagoda temple?』 After not entering the pagoda temple, one does not respect the Sangha; after not respecting the Sangha, one cannot hear the Dharma; after not hearing the Dharma, one will lose good qualities and cannot abide long in the true Dharma. This is the first fault arising from respecting an individual. Furthermore, when respecting and trusting someone, if the person being respected violates precepts and rules, and the Sangha performs an act of non-communion (not associating with him), the one who respects and trusts this person should think: 『This is my teacher, the one I respect. Now the Sangha is performing an act of non-communion towards him, so why should I enter his pagoda temple again?』 After not entering the pagoda temple, one does not respect the Sangha; after not respecting the Sangha, one cannot hear the Dharma; after not hearing the Dharma, one will lose good qualities and cannot abide long in the true Dharma. This is the second fault arising from respecting an individual. Furthermore, if that person takes his robes and bowl and goes elsewhere, the one who respects that person will think: 『The one I respect is wearing robes and carrying a bowl, wandering in the human world, so why should I enter his pagoda temple?』 After not entering the pagoda temple, one cannot respect the Sangha; after not respecting the Sangha, one cannot hear the Dharma; after not hearing the Dharma, one will lose good qualities and cannot abide long in the true Dharma. This is the third fault arising from respecting an individual. Furthermore, if the person one respects abandons the precepts and returns to lay life, the one who respects and trusts this person will think: 『This is my teacher, the one I respect. He has abandoned the precepts and returned to lay life, so I should not enter his pagoda temple.』 After not entering the temple, one does not respect the Sangha; after not respecting the Sangha, one cannot hear the Dharma; after not hearing the Dharma, one will lose good qualities and cannot abide long in the true Dharma. This is the fourth fault arising from respecting an individual. Furthermore, if the person one respects dies.


。敬信彼人者,而作是念:『彼是我師,我所敬重,今已命終,我今何緣入彼塔寺?』不入寺故,不得敬僧;不敬僧已,不得聞法;不聞法故,退失善法,不得久住于正法中。是名敬信人故生第五過患。

「是故,諸比丘!當如是學:『我當成就於佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八三八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有四種食,長養眾生,四大增長攝受。何等為四?謂摶食、觸食、意思食、識食。如是,福德潤澤,為安樂食。何等為四?謂于佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。是故,諸比丘!當作是學:『我當成就於佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八三九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「于佛不壞凈成就者,為聞法、眾僧所念、聖戒成就。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八四〇)

次經亦如上說

現代漢語譯本:那些尊敬和信任某人的人,會這樣想:『那人是我的老師,我所尊敬的人,現在已經去世了,我有什麼理由要進入他的塔寺呢?』因為不進入寺廟,就不能尊敬僧人;不尊敬僧人,就不能聽聞佛法;不聽聞佛法,就會退失善法,不能長久安住于正法之中。這被稱為因為尊敬信任某人而產生的第五種過患。 『因此,各位比丘!應當這樣學習:『我應當成就對佛陀不壞的凈信,對佛法、僧團不壞的凈信,成就聖戒。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (八三八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『有四種食物,滋養眾生,使四大增長和攝受。哪四種呢?就是摶食、觸食、意思食、識食。』『像這樣,福德的滋潤,是安樂的食物。哪四種呢?就是對佛陀不壞的凈信,對佛法、僧團不壞的凈信,成就聖戒。』『因此,各位比丘!應當這樣學習:『我應當成就對佛陀不壞的凈信,對佛法、僧團不壞的凈信,成就聖戒。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (八三九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴各位比丘……如上面所說。不同之處在於:『成就對佛陀不壞的凈信的人,能夠聽聞佛法,被僧團所記念,成就聖戒。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (八四〇) 下一部經也如上面所說。

English version: Those who respect and trust a certain person will think: 『That person was my teacher, the one I respected. Now that he has passed away, what reason do I have to enter his stupa or temple?』 Because they do not enter the temple, they cannot respect the Sangha; not respecting the Sangha, they cannot hear the Dharma; not hearing the Dharma, they will lose their good qualities and cannot dwell long in the true Dharma. This is called the fifth fault arising from respecting and trusting a person. 『Therefore, O bhikkhus! You should train yourselves thus: 『I shall achieve unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and accomplish the noble precepts.』 After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (838) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the bhikkhus: 『There are four kinds of food that nourish beings, causing the four great elements to grow and be sustained. What are the four? They are coarse food, contact food, volitional food, and consciousness food.』 『Likewise, the nourishment of merit is the food of happiness. What are the four? They are unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and the accomplishment of the noble precepts.』 『Therefore, O bhikkhus! You should train yourselves thus: 『I shall achieve unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and accomplish the noble precepts.』 After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (839) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the bhikkhus... as mentioned above. The difference is: 『One who has achieved unwavering faith in the Buddha is able to hear the Dharma, is remembered by the Sangha, and accomplishes the noble precepts.』 After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (840) The next sutra is also as mentioned above.


。差別者:「若於佛不壞凈成就者,法、僧,慳垢纏眾生離慳垢心,在家而住解脫,心施,常行樂施,常樂於舍,行平等施,聖戒成就。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八四一)

次經亦如上說。差別者:「如是聖弟子四種福德潤澤,善法潤澤,攝受稱量功德,不可稱量爾所果福、爾所果、爾所福果集,然彼得眾多福利,是大功德聚數。譬如五河合流,謂恒河、耶菩那、薩羅由、伊羅跋提、摩醯,于彼諸水無能度量百瓶、千瓶、百千萬瓶者,然彼水多,是大水聚數。如是聖弟子成就四功德潤澤者,無能度量其福多少,然彼多福,是大功德聚數。是故,諸比丘!當作是學:『我當成就於佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。』」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「眾吉之巨海,  自凈能凈彼,  汪洋而平流,  實諸百川長,  一切諸江河,  群生之所依,  悉歸於大海,  此身亦復然,  施戒修功德,  百福流所歸。」

(八四二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「婆羅門者,說虛偽道,愚癡惡邪,不正趣向,非智等覺向于涅槃

現代漢語譯本 差別在於:『如果對佛陀有不壞的清凈信心,對佛法和僧團也有不壞的清凈信心,對於慳吝垢染的眾生,能以離慳吝垢染的心對待,即使在家也能獲得解脫,樂於佈施,經常行樂施,樂於捨棄,行平等佈施,成就聖戒。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (八四一) 下一部經也如上所說。差別在於:『像這樣的聖弟子,具備四種福德的滋潤,善法的滋潤,所攝受的功德是無法稱量的,其所獲得的果報、福報、福果的積累也是無法稱量的,然而他們能獲得眾多福利,是巨大的功德聚集。譬如五條河流匯合,即恒河、耶菩那河、薩羅由河、伊羅跋提河、摩醯河,對於這些水,沒有人能測量出一百瓶、一千瓶、甚至百千萬瓶的量,然而這些水很多,是巨大的水流聚集。像這樣,聖弟子成就四種功德的滋潤,沒有人能測量出他們的福報有多少,然而他們福報很多,是巨大的功德聚集。因此,諸位比丘!應當這樣學習:『我應當成就對佛陀不壞的清凈信心,對佛法和僧團也有不壞的清凈信心,成就聖戒。』 當時,世尊即說偈語: 『眾吉之巨海, 自凈能凈彼, 汪洋而平流, 實諸百川長, 一切諸江河, 群生之所依, 悉歸於大海, 此身亦復然, 施戒修功德, 百福流所歸。』 (八四二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『婆羅門所說的都是虛偽之道,愚癡邪惡,不正當的趨向,不是通向智慧覺悟和涅槃的道路。』

English version The difference is: 'If one has unwavering pure faith in the Buddha, unwavering pure faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and for beings entangled in the defilement of stinginess, one treats them with a mind free from stinginess, even while living at home, one can attain liberation, delight in giving, frequently practice giving, delight in relinquishing, practice equal giving, and achieve the noble precepts.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (841) The next sutra is also as described above. The difference is: 'Such a noble disciple, endowed with the nourishment of four kinds of merit, the nourishment of good dharmas, the merit they accumulate is immeasurable, and the accumulation of their rewards, merits, and meritorious results is also immeasurable, yet they obtain numerous benefits, and it is a great accumulation of merit. For example, five rivers converge, namely the Ganges, the Yamuna, the Sarayu, the Irrawaddy, and the Mahi; no one can measure the amount of water in them as a hundred bottles, a thousand bottles, or even a hundred million bottles, yet there is a lot of water, and it is a great accumulation of water. Likewise, a noble disciple who has achieved the nourishment of four kinds of merit, no one can measure how much merit they have, yet they have much merit, and it is a great accumulation of merit. Therefore, bhikkhus! You should learn thus: 『I shall achieve unwavering pure faith in the Buddha, unwavering pure faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and achieve the noble precepts.』' At that time, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 'The great ocean of all auspiciousness, Self-purified, it can purify others, Vast and flowing evenly, Truly the chief of all rivers, All the rivers and streams, On which all beings depend, All flow into the great ocean, So is this body, Giving, precepts, and cultivation of merit, To which the flow of a hundred blessings returns.' (842) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'What the Brahmins say is a false path, foolish and evil, an improper direction, not leading to wisdom, enlightenment, and Nirvana.'


。彼作如是化諸弟子:於十五日,以胡麻屑、庵羅摩羅屑沐浴身體,著新劫貝,頭垂長縷,牛屎塗地而臥于上,言:『善男子!晨朝早起,脫衣舉著一處,裸其形體,向東方馳走,正使道路逢兇象、惡馬、狂牛、猘狗、棘刺、叢林、坑澗、深水,直前莫避,遇害死者,必生梵天。』是名外道愚癡邪見,非智等覺向于涅槃。我為弟子說平正路,非愚癡,向智慧等覺,向于涅槃,謂八聖道——正見乃至正定。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

In the early morning, take off your clothes and place them aside, expose your bodies, and run towards the east. Even if on the road you encounter fierce elephants, evil horses, mad bulls, rabid dogs, thorns, thickets, pits, or deep water, go straight ahead without avoiding them.

尊者阿難尊者舍利弗:「如是!如是!四法斷、四法成就,如來、應、等正覺所知所見,記說彼人得須陀洹,決定正向三菩提,七有天人往生,究竟苦邊。」

時,二正士共論議已,展轉隨喜,從座起去。

(八四五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘於五恐怖怨對休息,三事決定,不生疑惑,如實知見賢聖正道,彼聖弟子能自記說:『地獄、畜生、餓鬼惡趣已盡,得須陀洹,不墮惡趣法,決定正向三菩提,七有天人往生,究竟苦邊。』

「何等為五恐怖怨對休息?若殺生因緣罪怨對恐怖生,若離殺生者,彼殺生罪怨對因緣生恐怖休息。若偷盜、邪淫、妄語、飲酒罪怨對因緣生恐怖;彼若離偷盜、邪淫、妄語、飲酒罪怨對者,因緣恐怖休息,是名罪怨對因緣生五恐怖休息。

「何等為三事決定,不生疑惑?謂于佛決定離於疑惑,於法、僧決定離疑惑,是名三法決定離疑惑。

「何等名為聖道如實知見?謂此苦聖諦如實知,此苦集聖諦、此苦滅聖諦、此苦滅道跡聖諦如實知,是名聖道如實知見

現代漢語譯本 尊者阿難和尊者舍利弗說:『是的!是的!四法斷除,四法成就,如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,記說那人得須陀洹果,決定走向菩提,經歷七次天人往生,最終到達苦的盡頭。』 當時,兩位正士共同討論完畢,互相隨喜,然後從座位起身離去。 (八四五) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘能從五種恐怖怨對中解脫,對三事確定無疑,不再疑惑,如實知見賢聖正道,那麼這位聖弟子就能自己記說:『地獄、畜生、餓鬼等惡道已經斷絕,已得須陀洹果,不會再墮入惡道,決定走向菩提,經歷七次天人往生,最終到達苦的盡頭。』 『哪五種恐怖怨對的解脫呢?如果因為殺生而產生罪惡怨對的恐怖,那麼當他遠離殺生時,這種因殺生而產生的罪惡怨對的恐怖就會停止。如果因為偷盜、邪淫、妄語、飲酒而產生罪惡怨對的恐怖,那麼當他遠離偷盜、邪淫、妄語、飲酒時,這種因罪惡怨對而產生的恐怖就會停止,這被稱為因罪惡怨對而產生的五種恐怖的解脫。』 『哪三件事確定無疑,不再疑惑呢?就是對佛確定無疑,不再疑惑;對法和僧確定無疑,不再疑惑,這被稱為對三法的確定無疑。』 『什麼叫做如實知見聖道呢?就是如實知道這是苦聖諦,如實知道這是苦集聖諦,如實知道這是苦滅聖諦,如實知道這是通往苦滅的道跡聖諦,這叫做如實知見聖道。』

English version Venerable Ananda and Venerable Sariputra said: 'So it is! So it is! With four things abandoned and four things accomplished, as known and seen by the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One, it is declared that such a person has attained Stream-entry, is definitely headed towards Bodhi, will be reborn among gods and humans seven times, and will reach the end of suffering.' Then, the two noble ones, having finished their discussion, rejoiced with each other and rose from their seats and departed. (845) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu has rested from the five fears and enmities, is certain about three things, has no doubts, and truly knows and sees the noble path, that noble disciple can declare of himself: 『Hell, the animal realm, and the realm of hungry ghosts are exhausted; I have attained Stream-entry, I am not subject to falling into evil realms, I am definitely headed towards Bodhi, I will be reborn among gods and humans seven times, and I will reach the end of suffering.』 『What are the five fears and enmities from which one has rested? If fear and enmity arise due to the cause of killing, when one abstains from killing, the fear and enmity arising from the cause of killing are rested. If fear and enmity arise due to the cause of stealing, sexual misconduct, false speech, and drinking intoxicants, when one abstains from stealing, sexual misconduct, false speech, and drinking intoxicants, the fear and enmity arising from these causes are rested. This is called resting from the five fears and enmities arising from the cause of wrongdoing.』 『What are the three things about which one is certain and has no doubts? It is being certain about the Buddha, having no doubts; being certain about the Dharma and the Sangha, having no doubts. This is called being certain about the three things, having no doubts.』 『What is called truly knowing and seeing the noble path? It is truly knowing this noble truth of suffering, truly knowing this noble truth of the origin of suffering, truly knowing this noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and truly knowing this noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering. This is called truly knowing and seeing the noble path.』


「若於此五恐怖罪怨對休息、於三法決定離疑惑、于聖意如實知見,是聖弟子能自記說:『我地獄盡,畜生、餓鬼惡趣盡,得須陀洹,不墮惡趣法,決定正趣三菩提,七有天人往生,究竟苦邊。』」

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「何等為聖道如實知見?謂八聖道——正見乃至正定。」

次經亦如是說。差別者:「何等為聖道如實知見?謂十二支緣起如實知見。如所說:『是事有故是事有,是事起故是事起。如緣無明行,緣行識,緣識名色,緣名色六入處,緣六入處觸,緣觸受,緣受愛,緣愛取,緣取有,緣有生,緣生老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱。』是名聖弟子如實知見。」

現代漢語譯本 『如果能止息這五種恐怖的罪惡怨恨,對三法(佛、法、僧)能堅定不移地消除疑惑,對聖者的意旨有如實的瞭解和見解,那麼這位聖弟子就能自己記述說:『我的地獄之苦已盡,畜生、餓鬼等惡道也已盡,已證得須陀洹果位,不會再墮入惡道,必定會走向三菩提,經歷七次天人往生后,最終達到苦的盡頭。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (八四六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上面所說。不同之處在於:『什麼是對聖道的如實知見?就是八聖道——正見乃至正定。』 下一部經也是這樣說的。不同之處在於:『什麼是對聖道的如實知見?就是對十二因緣的如實知見。如所說:『因為有這個,所以有那個;因為這個生起,所以那個生起。例如,以無明為緣而有行,以行為緣而有識,以識為緣而有名色,以名色為緣而有六入處,以六入處為緣而有觸,以觸為緣而有受,以受為緣而有愛,以愛為緣而有取,以取為緣而有有,以有為緣而有生,以生為緣而有老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱。』這就是聖弟子如實知見。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (八四七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種諸天天道,能使未清凈的眾生清凈,已清凈的眾生更加清凈。是哪四種呢?就是聖弟子對佛有不壞的凈信,對法、僧有不壞的凈信,成就聖戒。這被稱為四種諸天天道,能使未清凈的眾生清凈,已清凈的眾生更加清凈。』

English version 'If one can cease these five fearsome sources of guilt and resentment, have unwavering certainty regarding the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), and possess true knowledge and insight into the meaning of the holy ones, then that holy disciple can declare: 『My suffering in hell is exhausted, the evil realms of animals and hungry ghosts are exhausted, I have attained the state of Sotapanna, I will not fall into evil realms again, I am certainly headed towards enlightenment, after seven rebirths among gods and humans, I will reach the end of suffering.』' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (846) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One addressed the monks... as mentioned above. The difference is: 'What is true knowledge and insight into the holy path? It is the Noble Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.' The next sutra is also spoken in the same way. The difference is: 'What is true knowledge and insight into the holy path? It is true knowledge and insight into the twelve links of dependent origination. As it is said: 『Because this exists, that exists; because this arises, that arises. For example, conditioned by ignorance, there are volitional formations; conditioned by volitional formations, there is consciousness; conditioned by consciousness, there are mind and body; conditioned by mind and body, there are the six sense bases; conditioned by the six sense bases, there is contact; conditioned by contact, there is feeling; conditioned by feeling, there is craving; conditioned by craving, there is clinging; conditioned by clinging, there is becoming; conditioned by becoming, there is birth; conditioned by birth, there are old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair.』 This is called the holy disciple's true knowledge and insight.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (847) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One addressed the monks: 'There are four heavenly paths that purify beings who are not yet pure and further purify those who are already pure. What are these four? They are when a holy disciple has unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and has accomplished the holy precepts. These are called the four heavenly paths that purify beings who are not yet pure and further purify those who are already pure.'

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有四種諸天天道。何等為四?謂聖弟子念如來事,如是:如來、應、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊。於此如來事生隨喜心,隨喜已,心歡悅,心歡悅已,身猗息,身猗息已,覺受樂,覺受樂已,三昧定,三昧定已,聖弟子作如是學:『何等為諸天天道?』復作是念:『我聞無恚為上諸天天道。』作是念:『我從今日,於世間若怖若安,不起瞋恚,我但當自受純一滿凈諸天天道。』是名第一諸天天道,未凈眾生令凈,已凈者重令凈。

「複次,比丘!聖弟子念於法事,謂如來說正法、律,現法離諸熾然,不待時節,通達涅槃,即身觀察,緣自覺知。如是知法事已,心生隨喜;隨喜已,身猗息,身猗息已,覺受樂,覺受樂已,三昧定,三昧定已,聖弟子作如是學:『何等為諸天天道?』復作是念:『我聞無恚為上諸天天道,我從今日,於此世間若怖若安,不起瞋恚,我當受持純一滿凈諸天天道。』是名第二諸天天道

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。

(八四八)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種通往天界的道路。哪四種呢?就是聖弟子憶念如來的事蹟,像這樣:如來、應供、正等覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊。對於如來的這些事蹟生起隨喜之心,隨喜之後,內心歡悅,內心歡悅之後,身體輕安,身體輕安之後,感受快樂,感受快樂之後,進入三昧禪定,進入三昧禪定之後,聖弟子這樣學習:『什麼是通往天界的道路呢?』又這樣想:『我聽說無嗔是最高的通往天界的道路。』這樣想:『我從今天起,對於世間的恐懼或安樂,都不生起嗔恚,我只應當自己接受純一圓滿清凈的通往天界的道路。』這稱為第一種通往天界的道路,能使未清凈的眾生清凈,已清凈的眾生更加清凈。

『再者,比丘們!聖弟子憶念佛法的事蹟,就是如來說的正法、戒律,在當下就能遠離各種煩惱的熾熱,不需等待時日,能通達涅槃,親自觀察,通過自身覺悟而知曉。像這樣瞭解佛法的事蹟后,內心生起隨喜;隨喜之後,身體輕安,身體輕安之後,感受快樂,感受快樂之後,進入三昧禪定,進入三昧禪定之後,聖弟子這樣學習:『什麼是通往天界的道路呢?』又這樣想:『我聽說無嗔是最高的通往天界的道路,我從今天起,對於這個世間的恐懼或安樂,都不生起嗔恚,我應當受持純一圓滿清凈的通往天界的道路。』這稱為第二種通往天界的道路。

English version Having spoken this sutra, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly.

(848)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'There are four paths to the heavens. What are the four? It is when a noble disciple recollects the qualities of the Tathagata, thus: 「The Tathagata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One, the one endowed with knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone, the knower of the world, the unsurpassed trainer of those to be tamed, the teacher of gods and humans, the Buddha, the Blessed One.」 Having generated joy in these qualities of the Tathagata, with joy, the mind is gladdened; with a gladdened mind, the body is tranquil; with a tranquil body, one experiences happiness; with happiness, one enters samadhi; having entered samadhi, the noble disciple learns thus: 「What are the paths to the heavens?」 And he thinks: 「I have heard that non-anger is the highest path to the heavens.」 Thinking thus: 「From this day forward, in the face of fear or comfort in the world, I will not give rise to anger, but will only receive the pure and complete path to the heavens.」 This is called the first path to the heavens, which purifies those who are not yet pure and further purifies those who are already pure.

'Furthermore, bhikkhus! A noble disciple recollects the qualities of the Dharma, that is, the Dharma and Discipline taught by the Tathagata, which is immediately effective, free from the heat of passion, not dependent on time, leading to Nirvana, to be observed directly, and to be known by the wise for themselves. Having understood the qualities of the Dharma, joy arises in the mind; with joy, the body is tranquil; with a tranquil body, one experiences happiness; with happiness, one enters samadhi; having entered samadhi, the noble disciple learns thus: 「What are the paths to the heavens?」 And he thinks: 「I have heard that non-anger is the highest path to the heavens. From this day forward, in the face of fear or comfort in this world, I will not give rise to anger, but will uphold the pure and complete path to the heavens.」 This is called the second path to the heavens.'


「複次,比丘!若於僧事起于正念,謂世尊弟子僧正直等向,所應恭敬、尊重、供養,無上福田。彼如是于諸僧事正憶念已,心生隨喜;心隨喜已,得歡悅,歡悅已,身猗息,身猗息已,覺受樂,覺受樂已,三昧定,三昧定已,彼聖弟子作如是學:『何等諸天天道?』復作是念:『我聞諸天無恚為上諸天天道,我從今日,于諸世間若怖若安,不起瞋恚,我但當受持純一滿凈諸天天道。』是名第三諸天天道。

「複次,比丘!謂聖弟子自念所有戒事,隨憶念言:『我於此不缺戒、不污戒、不雜戒、明智所嘆戒、智者不厭戒。』于如是等戒事正憶念已,心生隨喜;隨喜已,歡悅,歡悅已;身猗息,身猗息已,覺受樂,覺受樂已,三昧定,三昧定已,聖弟子作是念:『何等為諸天天道?』復作是念:『我聞諸天無恚為上,我從今日,于諸世間若怖若安,不起瞋恚,我當受持純一滿凈諸天天道。』是名第四諸天天道。未凈眾生令凈,已凈者重令凈。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八四九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有四種諸天天道。未凈眾生令凈,已凈者增其凈

現代漢語譯本: 『再者,比丘!如果對僧團事務生起正念,想到世尊的弟子僧團正直、平等,值得恭敬、尊重、供養,是無上的福田。他這樣對僧團事務正確憶念后,心中生起隨喜;心中隨喜后,得到歡悅;歡悅后,身體輕安;身體輕安后,感受到快樂;感受到快樂后,進入三昧禪定;進入三昧禪定后,這位聖弟子這樣學習:『什麼是諸天的天道?』又這樣想:『我聽說諸天以無嗔為最高的諸天天道,我從今天起,在世間無論遇到恐懼還是安樂,都不生起嗔恚,我只應當受持純一圓滿清凈的諸天天道。』這稱為第三種諸天天道。 『再者,比丘!這位聖弟子自己憶念所持守的戒律,隨之憶念說:『我在這方面沒有破戒、沒有污染戒、沒有雜亂戒,是明智的人所讚歎的戒,是智者不厭惡的戒。』像這樣對戒律正確憶念后,心中生起隨喜;隨喜后,得到歡悅;歡悅后,身體輕安;身體輕安后,感受到快樂;感受到快樂后,進入三昧禪定;進入三昧禪定后,這位聖弟子這樣想:『什麼是諸天的天道?』又這樣想:『我聽說諸天以無嗔為最高,我從今天起,在世間無論遇到恐懼還是安樂,都不生起嗔恚,我應當受持純一圓滿清凈的諸天天道。』這稱為第四種諸天天道。能使未清凈的眾生清凈,已清凈的眾生更加清凈。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (八四九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種諸天天道。能使未清凈的眾生清凈,已清凈的眾生更加清凈。』

English version: 'Furthermore, bhikkhus! If a bhikkhu develops right mindfulness regarding the affairs of the Sangha, thinking that the Sangha of the Blessed One's disciples is upright, righteous, worthy of veneration, respect, and offerings, and is an unsurpassed field of merit. Having thus rightly recollected the affairs of the Sangha, joy arises in his heart; with joy, he experiences gladness; with gladness, his body becomes tranquil; with bodily tranquility, he experiences happiness; with happiness, he attains samadhi; having attained samadhi, that noble disciple learns thus: 『What are the ways of the devas?』 And he thinks: 『I have heard that the devas have non-anger as the highest way of the devas. From today onwards, in this world, whether in fear or in peace, I will not give rise to anger, but I will uphold the pure and complete way of the devas.』 This is called the third way of the devas. 'Furthermore, bhikkhus! That noble disciple recollects his own precepts, recollecting thus: 『I have not broken these precepts, nor defiled them, nor mixed them, they are praised by the wise, and not despised by the wise.』 Having thus rightly recollected his precepts, joy arises in his heart; with joy, he experiences gladness; with gladness, his body becomes tranquil; with bodily tranquility, he experiences happiness; with happiness, he attains samadhi; having attained samadhi, that noble disciple thinks: 『What are the ways of the devas?』 And he thinks: 『I have heard that the devas have non-anger as the highest way.

It purifies those beings who are not yet pure, and further purifies those who are already pure.』 Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and put them into practice. (849) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Blessed One was dwelling at Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's monastery, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 『There are these four ways of the devas. They purify those beings who are not yet pure, and further purify those who are already pure.』

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.

At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'I will now speak the Mirror of the Dharma Sutra. Listen carefully and contemplate well, and I will explain it to you.

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.

At that time, many monks, having put on their robes and taken their bowls, entered Sravasti to beg for alms. While begging for alms, they heard that the monk Nandatula had passed away, the nun Nanda had passed away, the lay follower Sudatta had passed away, and the lay follower Sudatta's wife had passed away. Having finished begging for alms, they returned to the monastery, put away their robes and bowls, washed their feet, and went to the Buddha. They bowed at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! This morning, when I entered Sravasti to beg for alms, I heard that the monk Nandatula, the nun Nanda, the lay follower Sudatta, and the lay follower Sudatta's wife had passed away.'

。世尊!彼四人命終,應生何處?」

佛告諸比丘:「彼難屠比丘、難陀比丘尼諸漏已盡,無漏心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』善生優婆塞、善生優婆夷五下分結盡,得阿那含,生於天上而般涅槃,不復還生此世。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當爲汝說法鏡經,于佛不壞凈,乃至聖戒成就,是名法鏡經。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八五三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園……如上廣說。差別者:「有異比丘、異比丘尼、異優婆塞、異優婆夷命終……」亦如上說。

(八五四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住那梨迦聚落繁耆迦精舍。爾時,那梨迦聚落多人命終。

時,有眾多比丘著衣持缽,入那梨迦聚落乞食,聞那梨迦聚落罽迦舍優婆塞命終,尼迦吒、佉楞迦羅、迦多梨沙婆、阇露、優婆阇露、梨色吒、阿梨色吒、跋陀羅、須跋陀羅、耶舍耶輸陀、耶舍郁多羅悉皆命終。聞已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我等眾多比丘晨朝入那梨迦聚落乞食,聞罽迦舍優婆塞等命終

「世尊!那四個人命終后,會投生到哪裡呢?」 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『難屠比丘和難陀比丘尼的煩惱已經斷盡,他們的心已從無漏中解脫,智慧也已解脫,他們在現世就能親自證悟:『我已不再有來生,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的都已做完,我清楚地知道自己不會再有後世。』善生優婆塞和善生優婆夷的五下分結已經斷盡,他們證得了阿那含果位,會投生到天上並最終在那裡涅槃,不會再回到這個世間。』 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要為你們講說《法鏡經》,其中包含了對佛陀的堅定不移的信心,乃至成就聖戒,這就是《法鏡經》的含義。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (八五三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園……內容如上所述。不同之處在於:『有不同的比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷命終……』內容也如上所述。 (八五四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在那梨迦聚落的繁耆迦精舍。當時,那梨迦聚落有很多人去世。 當時,有許多比丘穿著僧衣,拿著缽,進入那梨迦聚落乞食,聽到那梨迦聚落的罽迦舍優婆塞、尼迦吒、佉楞迦羅、迦多梨沙婆、阇露、優婆阇露、梨色吒、阿梨色吒、跋陀羅、須跋陀羅、耶舍耶輸陀、耶舍郁多羅都去世了。聽聞后,他們回到精舍,放下僧衣和缽,洗完腳后,來到佛陀面前,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我們眾多比丘早上進入那梨迦聚落乞食,聽到罽迦舍優婆塞等人去世了。』

'Venerable Sir, where will those four people be reborn after their death?' The Buddha told the monks, 'The monks Nandatu and the nun Nanda have exhausted their defilements. Their minds are liberated from defilements, and they are liberated through wisdom. They have realized for themselves in this very life: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, and I know that I will not be reborn again.』 The lay disciple Sādhusena and the laywoman Sādhusenā have exhausted the five lower fetters. They have attained the state of Anāgāmin and will be reborn in the heavens, where they will attain final Nirvana and will not return to this world.' At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'I will now teach you the Mirror of the Dharma, which includes unwavering faith in the Buddha, and the accomplishment of the noble precepts. This is what is meant by the Mirror of the Dharma.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (853) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti... as described above. The difference is: 'Different monks, nuns, lay disciples, and laywomen have passed away...' as described above. (854) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bhangika Monastery in the village of Narika. At that time, many people in the village of Narika had passed away. Then, many monks, wearing their robes and carrying their bowls, entered the village of Narika to beg for alms. They heard that the lay disciple Keshaka, Nikata, Khalankara, Katolisabha, Jala, Upajala, Liseta, Arishta, Bhadra, Subhadra, Yashayashudha, and Yashottara had all passed away in the village of Narika. Having heard this, they returned to the monastery, put down their robes and bowls, washed their feet, went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side. They said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, we, many monks, went into the village of Narika this morning to beg for alms, and we heard that the lay disciple Keshaka and others had passed away.'


。世尊!彼等命終,當生何處?」

佛告諸比丘:「彼罽迦舍等已斷五下分結,得阿那含,于天上般涅槃,不復還生此世。」

諸比丘白佛:「世尊!復有過二百五十優婆塞命終,復有五百優婆塞於此那梨迦聚落命終,皆五下分結盡,得阿那含,于彼天上般涅槃,不復還生此世?復有過二百五十優婆塞命終,皆三結盡,貪、恚、癡薄,得斯陀含,當受一生,究竟苦邊?此那梨迦聚落復有五百優婆塞於此那梨迦聚落命終,三結盡,得須陀洹,不墮惡趣法,決定正向三菩提,七有天人往生,究竟苦邊?」

佛告諸比丘:「汝等隨彼命終、彼命終而問者,徒勞耳!非是如來所樂答者。夫生者有死,何足為奇?如來出世及不出世,法性常住。彼如來自知成等正覺,顯現演說,分別開示。所謂是事有故是事有,是事起故是事起,緣無明有行,乃至緣生有老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如是苦陰集;無明滅則行滅,乃至生滅則老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,如是苦陰滅。今當爲汝說法鏡經,諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。何等為法鏡經?謂聖弟子于佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:『世尊!他們命終后,會往生何處呢?』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『那些罽迦舍等人已經斷除了五下分結,證得阿那含果位,將在天上般涅槃,不再回到這個世間。』 眾比丘稟告佛陀:『世尊!還有二百五十多位優婆塞命終,以及五百位優婆塞在那梨迦村落命終,他們都斷盡了五下分結,證得阿那含果位,將在天上般涅槃,不再回到這個世間。還有二百五十多位優婆塞命終,他們都斷盡了三結,貪、嗔、癡薄弱,證得斯陀含果位,將只受一次生死,最終達到苦的盡頭。這那梨迦村落還有五百位優婆塞在此命終,他們斷盡了三結,證得須陀洹果位,不會墮入惡道,必定走向正覺,最多七次往返天人之間,最終達到苦的盡頭。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『你們隨著他們命終、他們命終而發問,只是徒勞罷了!這不是如來所樂意回答的。有生就有死,這有什麼可奇怪的呢?如來出世或不出世,法性都是常住的。如來自知成等正覺,顯現演說,分別開示。所謂此有故彼有,此起故彼起,緣于無明而有行,乃至緣于生而有老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。這樣就是苦陰的集起;無明滅則行滅,乃至生滅則老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅,這樣就是苦陰的滅盡。現在我將為你們說『法鏡經』,仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。什麼是『法鏡經』呢?就是聖弟子對佛有不壞的凈信,對法、僧有不壞的凈信,成就聖戒。』 佛陀說完此經,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

English version: 『Venerable Sir, where will they be reborn after their death?』 The Buddha told the monks, 『Those like Keshaka have already severed the five lower fetters, attained Anagami, and will attain Parinirvana in the heavens, never to return to this world.』 The monks reported to the Buddha, 『Venerable Sir, there are also more than two hundred and fifty lay disciples who have died, and five hundred lay disciples who have died in this Narika village. They have all severed the five lower fetters, attained Anagami, and will attain Parinirvana in the heavens, never to return to this world. There are also more than two hundred and fifty lay disciples who have died, they have all severed the three fetters, their greed, hatred, and delusion are weakened, they have attained Sakadagami, and will only be reborn once more, ultimately reaching the end of suffering. In this Narika village, there are also five hundred lay disciples who have died here, they have severed the three fetters, attained Srotapanna, will not fall into evil realms, are definitely headed towards enlightenment, and will be reborn among gods and humans at most seven times, ultimately reaching the end of suffering.』 The Buddha told the monks, 『Your questions about who dies and where they go are futile! This is not what the Tathagata is pleased to answer. There is birth and there is death, what is so strange about that? Whether the Tathagata appears in the world or not, the nature of Dharma is always abiding. The Tathagata, having realized perfect enlightenment, reveals, explains, and clarifies. That is, when this exists, that exists; when this arises, that arises. Conditioned by ignorance, there are volitional formations, and so on, conditioned by birth, there are old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress. This is the arising of the mass of suffering; when ignorance ceases, volitional formations cease, and so on, when birth ceases, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress cease. This is the cessation of the mass of suffering. Now I will teach you the 『Mirror of the Dharma Discourse,』 listen carefully, contemplate well, and I will explain it to you. What is the 『Mirror of the Dharma Discourse』? It is when a noble disciple has unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and has perfected the noble precepts.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有難提優婆塞來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!若聖弟子於此五根一切時不成就者,為放逸?為不放逸?」

佛告難提:「若於此五根一切時不成就者,我說此等為凡夫數。若聖弟子不成就者,為放逸,為不放逸。難提!若聖弟子于佛不壞凈成就,而不上求,不于空閑林中,若露地坐,晝夜禪思,精勤修習,勝妙出離,饒益隨喜;彼不隨喜已,歡喜不生,歡喜不生已,身不猗息,身不猗息已,苦覺則生,苦覺生已,心不得定,心不得定者,是聖弟子名為放逸。於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就亦如是說。如是,難提!若聖弟子成就於佛不壞凈,其心不起知足想。于空閑林中,樹下露地,晝夜禪思,精勤方便,能起勝妙出離隨喜;隨喜已,生歡喜,生歡喜已,身猗息,身猗息已,覺受樂,覺受樂已,心則定。若聖弟子心定者,名不放逸,法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就亦如是說。」

佛說此經已,難提優婆塞聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起,禮佛足而去。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本: (八五五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有難提優婆塞來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!如果聖弟子在這五根上任何時候都沒有成就,是放逸呢?還是不放逸呢?』 佛陀告訴難提:『如果在這五根上任何時候都沒有成就,我說這些人屬於凡夫之列。如果聖弟子沒有成就,是放逸還是不放逸呢?難提!如果聖弟子在對佛陀的清凈不壞的信心上有所成就,卻不向上追求,不在空閑的樹林中,或者在露天的地方坐著,日夜禪思,精勤修習,追求殊勝的出離,並對此感到隨喜;他沒有隨喜之後,歡喜心不生起,歡喜心不生起之後,身體不能安寧,身體不能安寧之後,苦的感受就會產生,苦的感受產生之後,心就不能安定,心不能安定的人,這個聖弟子就叫做放逸。對於法、僧的清凈不壞的信心,以及聖戒的成就,也應該這樣說。』 『像這樣,難提!如果聖弟子在對佛陀的清凈不壞的信心上有所成就,他的心中不會生起知足的想法。在空閑的樹林中,樹下或者露天的地方,日夜禪思,精勤方便,能夠生起殊勝的出離隨喜;隨喜之後,生起歡喜,生起歡喜之後,身體安寧,身體安寧之後,感受到快樂,感受到快樂之後,心就安定。如果聖弟子的心安定,就叫做不放逸。對於法、僧的清凈不壞的信心,以及聖戒的成就,也應該這樣說。』 佛陀說完這部經后,難提優婆塞聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位上站起來,向佛陀的腳行禮后就離開了。 (八五六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: (855) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the lay disciple Nandi came to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, if a noble disciple does not achieve these five faculties at any time, is that negligence or non-negligence?' The Buddha said to Nandi, 'If one does not achieve these five faculties at any time, I say that such people are among the ordinary. If a noble disciple does not achieve them, is that negligence or non-negligence? Nandi, if a noble disciple achieves unwavering faith in the Buddha, but does not strive further, does not sit in a secluded forest, or in an open space, meditating day and night, diligently practicing, seeking the sublime liberation, and rejoicing in it; if he does not rejoice, joy does not arise, and if joy does not arise, the body is not at ease, and if the body is not at ease, painful feelings arise, and if painful feelings arise, the mind is not concentrated. If the mind is not concentrated, that noble disciple is called negligent. The same should be said about unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and the achievement of noble precepts.' 'In this way, Nandi, if a noble disciple achieves unwavering faith in the Buddha, his mind does not give rise to a sense of contentment. In a secluded forest, under a tree, or in an open space, meditating day and night, diligently striving, he is able to generate sublime rejoicing in liberation; having rejoiced, joy arises, and having joy arisen, the body is at ease, and having the body at ease, he experiences pleasure, and having experienced pleasure, the mind is concentrated. If the mind of a noble disciple is concentrated, he is called non-negligent. The same should be said about unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and the achievement of noble precepts.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the lay disciple Nandi, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and was pleased. He rose from his seat, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and departed. (856) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


時,有釋氏難提來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!若聖弟子於四不壞凈一切時不成就者,是聖弟子為是放逸?為不放逸?」

佛告釋氏難提:「若於四不壞凈一切時不成就者,我說是等為外凡夫數。釋氏難提!若聖弟子放逸、不放逸,今當說……」廣說如上。

佛說此經已,釋氏難提聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起,作禮而去。

(八五七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。前三月夏安居竟,有眾多比丘集於食堂,為佛縫衣。如來不久作衣竟,當著衣持缽出精舍,人間遊行。

時,釋氏難提聞眾多比丘集於食堂,為佛縫衣,如來不久作衣竟,著衣持缽,人間遊行。釋氏難提聞已,來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我今四體支解,四方易韻,先所聞法,今悉迷忘,聞眾多比丘集於食堂,為世尊縫衣言:『如來不久作衣竟,著衣持缽,人間遊行。』是故我今心生大苦,何時當復得見世尊及諸知識比丘?」

佛告釋氏難提:「汝見佛、若不見佛,若見知識比丘、若不見,汝當隨時修習五種歡喜之處

現代漢語譯本: 當時,有一位名叫難提的釋迦族人來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁坐下,對佛陀說:『世尊!如果聖弟子在任何時候都不能成就四不壞凈,那麼這位聖弟子是屬於放逸的呢?還是不放逸的呢?』 佛陀告訴釋迦族的難提:『如果有人在任何時候都不能成就四不壞凈,我就說這些人屬於外凡夫之列。難提,關於聖弟子是放逸還是不放逸,我現在要說……』(內容如上文所述)。 佛陀說完這部經后,釋迦族的難提聽了佛陀所說,感到歡喜和隨喜,從座位上站起來,行禮后離開了。

(八五七) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。前三個月的夏季安居結束后,有很多比丘聚集在食堂,為佛陀縫製衣服。如來不久就做完了衣服,將要穿上衣服,拿著缽,離開精舍,到人間去乞食。 當時,釋迦族的難提聽到很多比丘聚集在食堂,為佛陀縫製衣服,說如來不久就要做完衣服,穿上衣服,拿著缽,到人間去乞食。難提聽到這些后,來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁坐下,對佛陀說:『世尊!我現在感覺四肢無力,四方顛倒,以前聽聞的佛法,現在都迷失遺忘了。聽到很多比丘聚集在食堂,為世尊縫製衣服,說:『如來不久就要做完衣服,穿上衣服,拿著缽,到人間去乞食。』因此,我現在心中感到非常痛苦,什麼時候才能再次見到世尊和各位熟悉的比丘呢?』 佛陀告訴釋迦族的難提:『你見到佛陀也好,沒見到佛陀也好,見到熟悉的比丘也好,沒見到也好,你都應當隨時修習五種歡喜之處。』

English version: At that time, a Shakyian named Nandhi came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, if a noble disciple does not achieve the four kinds of unwavering confidence at all times, is that noble disciple considered to be negligent or not negligent?' The Buddha told the Shakyian Nandhi, 'If someone does not achieve the four kinds of unwavering confidence at all times, I say that such people belong to the category of ordinary outsiders. Nandhi, regarding whether a noble disciple is negligent or not negligent, I will now explain...' (as described above). After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Shakyian Nandhi, having heard what the Buddha said, felt joy and appreciation. He rose from his seat, paid his respects, and departed.

(857) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. After the three-month summer retreat had ended, many monks gathered in the dining hall to sew robes for the Buddha. The Tathagata would soon finish his robe, and would put on the robe, take his bowl, and leave the monastery to go begging for alms in the human world. At that time, the Shakyian Nandhi heard that many monks had gathered in the dining hall to sew robes for the Buddha, saying that the Tathagata would soon finish his robe, put on the robe, take his bowl, and go begging for alms in the human world. Having heard this, Nandhi came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, I now feel that my limbs are weak, my senses are disoriented, and the Dharma I previously heard is now confused and forgotten. Hearing that many monks have gathered in the dining hall to sew robes for the Venerable One, saying, 'The Tathagata will soon finish his robe, put on the robe, take his bowl, and go begging for alms in the human world,' I now feel great suffering in my heart. When will I be able to see the Venerable One and the familiar monks again?' The Buddha told the Shakyian Nandhi, 'Whether you see the Buddha or do not see the Buddha, whether you see the familiar monks or do not see them, you should always practice the five places of joy.'


。何等為五?汝當隨時念如來事:如來、應、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊,法事、僧事、自持戒事、自行世事。隨時憶念:『我得己利,我于慳垢眾生所,當多修習離慳垢住,修解脫施、舍施、常熾然施、樂於舍,平等惠施,常懷施心。』如是,釋氏難提!此五支定若住、若行、若坐、若臥,乃至妻子俱,常當繫心此三昧念。」

佛說此經已,釋氏難提聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(八五八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園,前三月夏安居。

時,有釋氏難提聞佛于舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。前三月結夏安居,聞已,作是念:「我當往彼,並復于彼造作供養眾事,供給如來及比丘僧。」即到彼,三月竟,時,眾多比丘集於食堂,為世尊縫衣,而作是言:「如來不久作衣竟,著衣持缽,人間遊行。」

時,釋氏難提聞眾多比丘集於食堂,言:「如來不久作衣竟,著衣持缽,人間遊行。」聞已,來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我今四體支解,四方易韻,先所受法,今悉迷忘

現代漢語譯本:什麼是五種(需要隨時憶念的事)呢?你應該隨時憶念如來的事蹟:如來、應供、正等覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊,以及佛法的事蹟、僧團的事蹟、自己持戒的事蹟、自己修行世間法的事蹟。隨時憶念:『我已獲得自己的利益,對於那些慳吝的眾生,我應當多多修習遠離慳吝的住處,修習解脫的佈施、捨棄的佈施、常常熱衷的佈施、樂於佈施,平等地施予,常常懷有佈施的心。』像這樣,釋氏難提!這五種禪定,無論是站立、行走、坐著、躺臥,乃至與妻子在一起時,都應當常常繫念于這種三昧之中。」 佛陀說完這部經后,釋氏難提聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (八五八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園,正在進行前三個月的夏季安居。 當時,有位釋氏難提聽聞佛陀在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園進行前三個月的結夏安居,聽聞后,他心想:『我應當前往那裡,並且在那裡為佛陀和比丘僧團準備各種供養,提供所需。』於是他到了那裡。三個月結束后,當時,許多比丘聚集在食堂,為世尊縫製衣服,並且說道:『如來不久就要縫製完衣服,穿上衣服,拿著缽,在人間游化了。』 當時,釋氏難提聽聞許多比丘聚集在食堂,說:『如來不久就要縫製完衣服,穿上衣服,拿著缽,在人間游化了。』聽聞后,他來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我現在四肢無力,四方顛倒,先前所受的佛法,現在全都迷失遺忘了。』

English version: What are the five? You should always contemplate the affairs of the Tathagata: the Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, the One with Perfect Knowledge and Conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Trainer of Those Who Can Be Trained, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, the Buddha, the World-Honored One, the affairs of the Dharma, the affairs of the Sangha, the affairs of self-discipline, and the affairs of self-practice in the world. Always contemplate: 『I have attained my own benefit, and towards those beings who are stingy, I should cultivate the dwelling of being free from stinginess, cultivate the giving of liberation, the giving of relinquishment, the giving that is always fervent, the joy of giving, giving equally, and always cherish the mind of giving.』 Thus, Nandika of the Shakya clan! These five aspects of concentration, whether standing, walking, sitting, or lying down, even when with your wife, you should always keep your mind focused on this samadhi.」 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Nandika of the Shakya clan, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid homage, and departed. (858) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti, observing the three-month summer retreat. At that time, Nandika of the Shakya clan heard that the Buddha was observing the three-month summer retreat in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Having heard this, he thought: 『I should go there and prepare various offerings and provide for the Buddha and the Sangha of monks.』 So he went there. After three months, at that time, many monks gathered in the dining hall, sewing robes for the World-Honored One, and said: 『The Tathagata will soon finish making his robe, put on his robe, take his bowl, and wander in the human world.』 At that time, Nandika of the Shakya clan heard many monks gathered in the dining hall, saying: 『The Tathagata will soon finish making his robe, put on his robe, take his bowl, and wander in the human world.』 Having heard this, he came to where the Buddha was, bowed at his feet, retreated to one side, and said to the Buddha: 『World-Honored One! My limbs are now weak, my senses are confused, and the Dharma I previously received is now all lost and forgotten.』


。我聞世尊人間遊行,我何時當復更見世尊及諸知識比丘?」

佛告釋氏難提:「若見如來、若不見,若見知識比丘、若不見,汝當隨時修於六念。何等為六?當念如來、法、僧事、自所持戒、自所行施,及念諸天。」

佛說此經已,釋氏難提聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(八五九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園,前三月結夏安居……如前說。差別者:時,有長者名梨師達多及富蘭那兄弟二人,聞眾多比丘集於食堂,為世尊縫衣……如上難提修多羅廣說。

佛說此經已,梨師達多長者及富蘭那聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起,作禮而去。

(八六〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。前三月結夏安居竟,眾多比丘集於食堂,為世尊縫衣。

時,有長者梨師達多及富蘭那兄弟二人,于鹿徑澤中修治田業,聞眾多比丘在於食堂,為世尊縫衣,言:「如來不久作衣竟,著衣持缽,人間遊行。」聞已,語一士夫言:「汝今當往詣世尊所,瞻視世尊;若必去者,速來語我。」

時,彼士夫即受教敕,往到一處,見世尊出,即速來還白梨師達多及富蘭那:「世尊已來,及諸大眾

現代漢語譯本:我聽說世尊在人間,我何時才能再次見到世尊以及各位有學識的比丘呢?' 佛陀告訴釋迦族的難提:'無論見到如來還是沒見到,無論見到有學識的比丘還是沒見到,你都應當隨時修習六種憶念。哪六種呢?應當憶念如來、佛法、僧團的事蹟,自己所持守的戒律,自己所實行的佈施,以及憶念諸天。' 佛陀說完這部經后,釋迦族的難提聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (八五九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園,前三個月結夏安居……如前所述。不同之處在於:當時,有位名叫梨師達多和富蘭那的長者兄弟二人,聽說眾多比丘聚集在食堂,為世尊縫製衣服……如上面難提經所廣說。 佛陀說完這部經后,梨師達多長者和富蘭那聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位起身,行禮后離去。 (八六〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。前三個月結夏安居結束后,眾多比丘聚集在食堂,為世尊縫製衣服。 當時,有位名叫梨師達多和富蘭那的長者兄弟二人,在鹿徑澤中修整田地,聽說眾多比丘在食堂,為世尊縫製衣服,說道:'如來不久就要縫製完衣服,穿上衣服拿著缽,在人間游化了。'聽完后,告訴一位士夫說:'你現在應當前往世尊那裡,瞻仰世尊;如果他要離開,就快點回來告訴我。' 當時,那位士夫接受教令,前往一處,看見世尊出來,就趕緊回來告訴梨師達多和富蘭那:'世尊已經來了,還有各位大眾。'

English version: 'I have heard that the World-Honored One is in the human realm. When will I be able to see the World-Honored One and the knowledgeable monks again?' The Buddha told Nandi of the Shakya clan, 'Whether you see the Tathagata or not, whether you see the knowledgeable monks or not, you should always practice the six recollections. What are the six? You should recollect the Tathagata, the Dharma, the Sangha, your own precepts, your own acts of giving, and the devas.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Nandi of the Shakya clan, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed, and departed. (859) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. The three-month rainy season retreat had concluded... as previously described. The difference was that at that time, there were two elder brothers named Rishidatta and Purna, who heard that many monks had gathered in the dining hall to sew robes for the World-Honored One... as extensively described in the Nandi Sutra above. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the elders Rishidatta and Purna, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, rose from their seats, bowed, and departed. (860) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. After the three-month rainy season retreat had concluded, many monks gathered in the dining hall to sew robes for the World-Honored One. At that time, there were two elder brothers named Rishidatta and Purna, who were cultivating their fields in the Deer Path Marsh. They heard that many monks were in the dining hall, sewing robes for the World-Honored One, and said, 'The Tathagata will soon finish sewing his robes, put them on, take his bowl, and wander in the human realm.' Having heard this, they told a man, 'You should now go to the World-Honored One and look upon him; if he is about to leave, come back quickly and tell us.' At that time, that man received the instruction, went to a place, saw the World-Honored One coming out, and quickly returned to tell Rishidatta and Purna, 'The World-Honored One has come, along with the assembly.'


。」

時,梨師達多及富蘭那往迎世尊。世尊遙見梨師達多及富蘭那隨路而來,即出路邊,敷尼師壇,正身端坐。

梨師達多及富蘭那稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我今四體支解,四方易韻,所憶念事,今悉迷忘,何時當復得見世尊及諸知識比丘?世尊今出至拘薩羅,從拘薩羅至伽尸,從伽尸至摩羅,從摩羅至摩竭陀,從摩竭陀至殃伽,從殃伽至修摩,從修摩至分陀羅,從分陀羅至迦陵伽。是故我今極生憂苦,何時當復得見世尊及諸知識比丘?」

佛告梨師達多及富蘭那:「汝見如來及不見如來,見諸知識比丘及不見,汝且隨時修習六念。何等為六?汝當念如來事……」廣說乃至「念天。然其長者!在家憒鬧,在家染著;出家空閑,難可俗人處於非家,一向鮮潔,純一滿凈,梵行清白。」

長者白佛:「奇哉!世尊!善說此法:『在家憒鬧,在家染著,出家空閑,難可俗人處於非家,一向鮮潔,純一滿凈,梵行清白。』我是波斯匿王大臣,波斯匿王欲入園觀,令我乘于大象,載王第一宮女,一在我前,一在我后,我坐其中。像下坂時,前者抱我項,後者攀我背;象上坂時,後者抱我頸,前者攀我衿。彼諸婇女為娛樂王故,衣繒綵衣,著眾妙香,瓔珞莊嚴

當時,梨師達多和富蘭那前去迎接世尊。世尊遠遠看見梨師達多和富蘭那沿著路走來,便走到路邊,鋪好坐具,端正身體坐下。 梨師達多和富蘭那向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退到一旁坐下,對佛說:『世尊!我現在身體四肢都像要散開一樣,四方音韻也變得不同,所記得的事情,現在全都迷失遺忘了,什麼時候才能再次見到世尊和各位熟悉的比丘呢?世尊現在從拘薩羅出發,到伽尸,從伽尸到摩羅,從摩羅到摩竭陀,從摩竭陀到殃伽,從殃伽到修摩,從修摩到分陀羅,從分陀羅到迦陵伽。因此我現在非常憂愁痛苦,什麼時候才能再次見到世尊和各位熟悉的比丘呢?』 佛陀告訴梨師達多和富蘭那:『你們見到如來和沒見到如來,見到各位熟悉的比丘和沒見到,你們都應當隨時修習六念。哪六種呢?你們應當憶念如來的事……』一直到『憶念天。然而,長者!在家喧鬧,在家充滿染著;出家清凈空閑,難以讓俗人處於非家,一直保持純潔,純一圓滿清凈,梵行清白。』 長者對佛說:『奇妙啊!世尊!您說得真好:『在家喧鬧,在家充滿染著,出家清凈空閑,難以讓俗人處於非家,一直保持純潔,純一圓滿清凈,梵行清白。』我是波斯匿王的大臣,波斯匿王想去園林遊玩,讓我騎著大象,載著國王最寵愛的宮女,一個在我前面,一個在我後面,我坐在中間。大象下坡時,前面的宮女抱住我的脖子,後面的宮女抓住我的背;大象上坡時,後面的宮女抱住我的脖子,前面的宮女抓住我的衣襟。那些宮女爲了取悅國王,穿著絲綢綵衣,塗抹各種香料,佩戴瓔珞裝飾。

At that time, Rishi Dattaka and Purna went to greet the World Honored One. The World Honored One saw Rishi Dattaka and Purna coming along the road from afar, so he went to the side of the road, spread out his seat, and sat down with his body upright. Rishi Dattaka and Purna bowed their heads to the Buddha's feet, then retreated to one side and sat down, saying to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! My limbs now feel like they are falling apart, the sounds of the four directions have become different, and the things I remember are now all lost and forgotten. When will I be able to see the World Honored One and all the familiar monks again? The World Honored One is now traveling from Kosala to Kashi, from Kashi to Mala, from Mala to Magadha, from Magadha to Anga, from Anga to Suma, from Suma to Pundara, and from Pundara to Kalinga. Therefore, I am now extremely worried and distressed. When will I be able to see the World Honored One and all the familiar monks again?' The Buddha said to Rishi Dattaka and Purna: 'Whether you see the Tathagata or do not see the Tathagata, whether you see the familiar monks or do not see them, you should always practice the six recollections. What are the six? You should recollect the affairs of the Tathagata...' all the way to 'recollecting the heavens. However, elders! Being at home is noisy, being at home is full of attachments; leaving home is peaceful and quiet. It is difficult for lay people to live away from home, always remaining pure, completely pure and clean, with pure conduct.' The elder said to the Buddha: 'Wonderful! World Honored One! You have spoken well: 'Being at home is noisy, being at home is full of attachments; leaving home is peaceful and quiet. It is difficult for lay people to live away from home, always remaining pure, completely pure and clean, with pure conduct.' I am a minister of King Prasenajit. King Prasenajit wanted to go to the garden to enjoy himself, so he had me ride an elephant, carrying the king's most favored palace women, one in front of me and one behind me, with me sitting in the middle. When the elephant went downhill, the woman in front hugged my neck, and the woman behind grabbed my back; when the elephant went uphill, the woman behind hugged my neck, and the woman in front grabbed my collar. Those palace women, in order to please the king, wore silk and colorful clothes, applied various perfumes, and adorned themselves with necklaces.'


。我與同遊,常護三事:一者御象,恐失正道。二自護心,恐生染著。三自護持,恐其顛墜。世尊!我于爾時,于王婇女,無一剎那不正思惟。」

佛告長者:「善哉!善哉!能善護心。」

長者白佛:「我在家中所有財物,常與世尊及諸比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷、等共受用,不計我所。」

佛告長者:「善哉!善哉!汝拘薩羅國錢財巨富,無有與汝等者,而能于財,不計我所。」

爾時,世尊為彼長者種種說法,示、教、照、喜,示、教、照、喜已,從座而去。

雜阿含經卷第三十一

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(八六一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「人間四百歲是兜率陀天上一日一夜,如是三十日一月,十二月一歲,兜率陀天壽四千歲。愚癡無聞凡夫于彼命終,生地獄、畜生、餓鬼中;多聞聖弟子于彼命終,不生地獄、畜生、餓鬼中。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八六二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:我與他們一同遊玩時,常常守護三件事:第一是駕馭大象,恐怕偏離正道;第二是守護自己的心,恐怕產生貪戀執著;第三是守護自己,恐怕跌倒墜落。世尊!我那時對於國王的嬪妃,沒有一剎那不正當的念頭。 佛陀告訴長者:『好啊!好啊!你能夠好好守護自己的心。』 長者對佛說:『我在家中所有的財物,常常與世尊以及各位比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷等共同享用,不認為是屬於我個人的。』 佛陀告訴長者:『好啊!好啊!你在拘薩羅國財富巨大,沒有人能與你相比,卻能對財富不認為是屬於你個人的。』 當時,世尊為那位長者說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜,開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜后,就從座位離開了。 《雜阿含經》卷第三十 《雜阿含經》卷第三十一 宋朝天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (八六一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『人間四百年是兜率天的一天一夜,這樣三十天是一個月,十二個月是一年,兜率天的壽命是四千年。愚癡沒有聞法的凡夫在那裡命終后,會生到地獄、畜生、餓鬼中;多聞的聖弟子在那裡命終后,不會生到地獄、畜生、餓鬼中。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (八六二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: When I travel with them, I always guard three things: first, controlling the elephant, lest it stray from the right path; second, guarding my own mind, lest it develop attachments; and third, guarding myself, lest I stumble and fall. World-Honored One! At that time, towards the king's concubines, I did not have a single moment of improper thought. The Buddha told the elder, 'Excellent! Excellent! You are able to guard your mind well.' The elder said to the Buddha, 'All the wealth I have at home, I often share with the World-Honored One and all the monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen, and I do not consider it to be my own.' The Buddha told the elder, 'Excellent! Excellent! You are immensely wealthy in the kingdom of Kosala, and no one can compare to you, yet you are able to not consider wealth to be your own.' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke various teachings to that elder, revealing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening him. After revealing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening him, he departed from his seat. Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 30 Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 31 Translated by Gunabhadra, Tripitaka Master of the Song Dynasty from India (861) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks, 'Four hundred years in the human realm is one day and night in the Tushita Heaven. Thirty such days make a month, and twelve months make a year. The lifespan in the Tushita Heaven is four thousand years. Foolish, unlearned ordinary people, upon dying there, will be reborn in hell, as animals, or as hungry ghosts; learned, noble disciples, upon dying there, will not be reborn in hell, as animals, or as hungry ghosts.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (862) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「人間八百歲是化樂天上一日一夜。如是三十日一月,十二月一歲,化樂天壽八千歲。愚癡無聞凡夫于彼命終,生地獄、畜生、餓鬼中;多聞聖弟子于彼命終,不生地獄、畜生、餓鬼中。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八六三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「人間千六百歲是他化自在天一日一夜,如是三十日一月,十二月一歲,他化自在天壽一萬六千歲。愚癡無聞凡夫于彼命終,生地獄、畜生、餓鬼中;多聞聖弟子于彼命終,不生地獄、畜生、餓鬼中。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如佛說六經,如是異比丘問六經、佛問諸比丘六經,亦如是說。

(八六四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘若行、若形、若相,離欲、惡不善法,有覺有觀,離生喜樂,初禪具足住

現代漢語譯本 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『人間八百歲是化樂天的一天一夜。這樣三十天為一月,十二月為一年,化樂天的壽命是八千歲。愚癡無知的凡夫在那裡命終后,會生到地獄、畜生、餓鬼道中;而博學多聞的聖弟子在那裡命終后,不會生到地獄、畜生、餓鬼道中。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (八六三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『人間一千六百歲是他化自在天的一天一夜。這樣三十天為一月,十二月為一年,他化自在天的壽命是一萬六千歲。愚癡無知的凡夫在那裡命終后,會生到地獄、畜生、餓鬼道中;而博學多聞的聖弟子在那裡命終后,不會生到地獄、畜生、餓鬼道中。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,都歡喜地奉行。 如佛所說的六部經,像這樣,有其他比丘問的六部經,以及佛問眾比丘的六部經,也都是這樣說的。 (八六四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘在行、形、相上,遠離慾望、邪惡不善的法,有覺有觀,因遠離而生喜樂,具足安住于初禪。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Eight hundred human years are one day and night in the Heaven of Delight in Transformation. Thus, thirty days make a month, twelve months make a year, and the lifespan in the Heaven of Delight in Transformation is eight thousand years. Foolish, ignorant ordinary people, upon dying there, are born in hell, as animals, or as hungry ghosts; while learned, noble disciples, upon dying there, are not born in hell, as animals, or as hungry ghosts.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (863) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Sixteen hundred human years are one day and night in the Heaven of Mastery over the Creations of Others. Thus, thirty days make a month, twelve months make a year, and the lifespan in the Heaven of Mastery over the Creations of Others is sixteen thousand years. Foolish, ignorant ordinary people, upon dying there, are born in hell, as animals, or as hungry ghosts; while learned, noble disciples, upon dying there, are not born in hell, as animals, or as hungry ghosts.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just as the Buddha spoke of six sutras, in the same way, there are six sutras asked by other bhikkhus, and six sutras asked by the Buddha of the bhikkhus, and they are also spoken of in the same way. (864) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu, in conduct, form, and appearance, is detached from desire, evil, and unwholesome states, with initial and sustained thought, born of detachment is joy and pleasure, and dwells fully in the first jhana.'


。彼不憶念如是行、如是形、如是相,然于彼色、受、想、行、識法;作如病、如癰、如刺、如殺、無常、苦、空、非我思惟,于彼法生厭、怖畏、防護;生厭、怖畏、防護已,以甘露門而自饒益,如是寂靜,如是勝妙,所謂舍離,余愛盡、無慾、滅盡、涅槃。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八六五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「如是知、如是見已,欲有漏心解脫、有有漏心解脫、無明漏心解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八六六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「若不得解脫,以欲法、念法、樂法故,取中般涅槃。若不如是,或生般涅槃,若不如是,或有行般涅槃,若不如是,或無行般涅槃,若不如是,或上流般涅槃。若不如是,或復即以此欲法、念法、樂法功德生大梵天中,或生梵輔天中,或生梵身天中。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:他不憶念過去的行止、形貌、相貌,而是對於色、受、想、行、識這些法,視其如疾病、如毒瘡、如芒刺、如殺戮,思惟其無常、苦、空、非我,從而對這些法產生厭惡、恐懼、防護之心;產生厭惡、恐懼、防護之心后,便以甘露之門來滋養自己,如此寂靜,如此殊勝,這就是所謂的舍離,余愛盡、無慾、滅盡、涅槃。 佛陀說完此經,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (八六五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上所說。不同之處在於:『如此知、如此見之後,欲有漏心解脫、有有漏心解脫、無明漏心解脫,解脫後生起知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』 佛陀說完此經,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (八六六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上所說。不同之處在於:『如果不能得到解脫,就因為對欲的執著、對唸的執著、對樂的執著,而取中般涅槃。如果不是這樣,或者生般涅槃,如果不是這樣,或者有行般涅槃,如果不是這樣,或者無行般涅槃,如果不是這樣,或者上流般涅槃。如果不是這樣,或者又因為對欲的執著、對唸的執著、對樂的執著這些功德而生到大梵天中,或者生到梵輔天中,或者生到梵身天中。』 佛陀說完此經,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

English version: He does not recall such conduct, such form, such appearance, but regarding these dharmas of form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, he contemplates them as disease, as a boil, as a thorn, as a slaughter, as impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self. He generates aversion, fear, and protection towards these dharmas. Having generated aversion, fear, and protection, he nourishes himself with the gate of nectar. Such is tranquility, such is supreme, this is what is called relinquishment, the end of remaining desire, desirelessness, cessation, Nirvana. Having finished speaking this sutra, the monks, hearing what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (865) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks... as said above. The difference is: 'Having known and seen thus, the mind is liberated from the outflows of desire, the mind is liberated from the outflows of existence, the mind is liberated from the outflows of ignorance. With liberation comes the knowledge: 'Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, I know for myself that there is no more future existence.' Having finished speaking this sutra, the monks, hearing what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (866) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks... as said above. The difference is: 'If one does not attain liberation, then due to attachment to desire, attachment to mindfulness, attachment to pleasure, one attains intermediate Nirvana. If not so, one attains birth-Nirvana. If not so, one attains Nirvana with effort. If not so, one attains Nirvana without effort. If not so, one attains upstream Nirvana. If not so, one is reborn in the Great Brahma Heaven, or in the Brahma's Retinue Heaven, or in the Brahma's Body Heaven, due to the merits of attachment to desire, attachment to mindfulness, and attachment to pleasure.' Having finished speaking this sutra, the monks, hearing what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.


(八六七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘如是行、如是形、如是相,息有覺有觀,內凈一心,無覺無觀,定生喜樂,第二禪具足住。若不如是行、如是形、如是相憶念,而於色、受、想、行、識法思惟如病、如癰、如刺、如殺、無常、苦、空、非我;於此等法心生厭離、怖畏、防護,厭離、防護已,于甘露法界以自饒益。此則寂靜,此則勝妙,所謂舍離,一切有餘愛盡、無慾、滅盡、涅槃。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八六八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「彼如是知、如是見,欲有漏心解脫、有有漏心解脫、無明漏心解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』若不解脫,而以彼法,欲法、念法、樂法取中般涅槃;若不爾者,取生般涅槃;若不爾者,取有行般涅槃;若不爾者,取無行般涅槃;若不爾者,取上流般涅槃;若不爾者,彼以欲法、念法、樂法生自性光音天;若不爾者,生無量光天;若不爾者,生少光天。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本: (八六七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘這樣修行、這樣形態、這樣相貌,止息有覺有觀,內心清凈專一,無覺無觀,由禪定產生喜樂,安住于第二禪。如果不如這樣修行、這樣形態、這樣相貌憶念,而對色、受、想、行、識這些法,思維它們如病、如癰、如刺、如殺,是無常、苦、空、非我;對於這些法,內心產生厭離、恐懼、防護,厭離、防護之後,以甘露法界來使自己受益。這就是寂靜,這就是殊勝美妙,所謂舍離,一切有餘的愛慾都滅盡、無慾、滅盡、涅槃。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (八六八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上面所說。不同之處在於:『他這樣知道、這樣看見,欲漏心解脫、有漏心解脫、無明漏心解脫,解脫後知道:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自己知道不再有後生。』如果不能解脫,就憑藉那些法,以欲法、念法、樂法取中般涅槃;如果不是這樣,就取生般涅槃;如果不是這樣,就取有行般涅槃;如果不是這樣,就取無行般涅槃;如果不是這樣,就取上流般涅槃;如果不是這樣,他就憑藉欲法、念法、樂法生到自性光音天;如果不是這樣,就生到無量光天;如果不是這樣,就生到少光天。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。

English version: (867) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'If a bhikkhu practices in this way, has this form, has this appearance, having ceased initial and sustained thought, with inner clarity and singleness of mind, without initial and sustained thought, with joy and happiness born of concentration, dwells in the second jhana. If he does not practice in this way, does not have this form, does not have this appearance, but instead reflects on form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness as being like a disease, like a boil, like a thorn, like a killing, as impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self; and for these things, his mind generates aversion, fear, and protection, and having generated aversion and protection, he benefits himself with the realm of the nectar of the Dharma. This is tranquility, this is supreme, that is, relinquishment, the complete ending of all remaining desires, without desire, cessation, and Nirvana.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings. (868) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus... as said above. The difference is: 'He knows and sees in this way, that his mind is liberated from the defilement of desire, liberated from the defilement of existence, liberated from the defilement of ignorance, and with liberation, he knows: 'Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more future existence.' If he is not liberated, then by those practices, by the practice of desire, the practice of mindfulness, the practice of joy, he attains intermediate Nirvana; if not, he attains birth-Nirvana; if not, he attains Nirvana with effort; if not, he attains Nirvana without effort; if not, he attains the highest stream Nirvana; if not, then by the practice of desire, the practice of mindfulness, the practice of joy, he is born in the Abhassara Brahma world; if not, he is born in the Appamanabha Brahma world; if not, he is born in the Parittabha Brahma world.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings.

如四禪,如是四無色定,亦如是說。

(八七一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有風雲天作是念:『我今欲以神力遊戲

現代漢語譯本: (八六九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘這樣修行、這樣形態、這樣相貌,遠離貪慾的喜悅,捨棄並安住于正念正智,覺知身體的快樂,聖人能夠說出並捨棄對快樂的執念而安住,圓滿地安住于第三禪。如果不是這樣,就以這樣的修行、這樣的形態、這樣的相貌,對於受、想、行、識這些法,思維它們如同疾病、如同毒瘡、如同尖刺、如同殺戮,乃至達到上流的境界;如果不是這樣,就憑藉這些法,希望通過這些法、念這些法而生到遍凈天;如果不是這樣,就生到無量凈天;如果不是這樣,就生到少凈天。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (八七〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘這樣修行、這樣形態、這樣相貌,遠離痛苦,平息快樂,之前的憂愁和喜悅已經滅盡,處於不苦不樂的舍的狀態,保持清凈的念頭和一心,圓滿地安住于第四禪。如果不是這樣憶念,而是對於色、受、想、行、識,思維它們如同疾病、如同毒瘡、如同尖刺、如同殺戮,乃至達到上流的涅槃;如果不是這樣,就可能生到因性果實天,如果不是這樣,就生到福生天,如果不是這樣,就生到少福天。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 如同四禪,四無色定也是這樣說的。 (八七一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有風雲天這樣想:『我現在想用神通來遊戲』

English version: (869) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'If a bhikkhu, in this way of practice, in this form, in this appearance, is detached from the joy of craving, abandons and dwells in right mindfulness and right knowledge, aware of bodily pleasure, a noble one can speak of and abandon the dwelling in mindfulness of pleasure, and dwells fully in the third jhana. If not, with this way of practice, this form, this appearance, regarding the dharmas of feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness as like a disease, like a boil, like a thorn, like a killing, even reaching the highest stream; if not, with those dharmas, desiring those dharmas, mindful of those dharmas, one is born in the Abhassara heaven; if not, one is born in the Appamanabha heaven; if not, one is born in the Parittabha heaven.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (870) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'If a bhikkhu, in this way of practice, in this form, in this appearance, is detached from suffering, has ceased pleasure, previous sorrow and joy have ceased, in a state of neither-suffering-nor-pleasure, with pure mindfulness and one-pointedness, dwells fully in the fourth jhana. If not remembering in this way, but regarding form, feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness as like a disease, like a boil, like a thorn, like a killing, even reaching the highest stream of Nirvana; if not, one may be born in the Asaññasatta heaven, if not, one is born in the Subhakinha heaven, if not, one is born in the Parittasubha heaven.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. Just as with the four jhanas, so it is said with the four formless attainments. (871) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'A cloud-wind deva thinks thus: 'Now I wish to play with supernormal power.'


。』如是念時,風雲則起。如風雲天,如是焰電天、雷震天、雨天、晴天、寒天、熱天亦如是說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

說如是,異比丘問佛、佛問諸比丘亦如是說。

(八七二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊于夜闇中,天時小雨,電光焰照。佛告阿難:「汝可以傘蓋覆燈持出。」

尊者阿難即受教,以傘蓋覆燈,隨佛後行,至一處,世尊微笑。尊者阿難白佛言:「世尊不以無因緣而笑,不審世尊今日何因何緣而發微笑?」

佛告阿難:「如是!如是!如來不以無因緣而笑,汝今持傘蓋覆燈,隨我而行;我見梵天亦復如是持傘蓋覆燈,隨拘鄰比丘後行;釋提桓因亦復持傘蓋覆燈,隨摩訶迦葉後行;帙栗帝羅色吒羅天王亦持傘蓋覆燈,隨舍利弗後行;毗樓勒迦天王亦持傘蓋覆燈,隨大目揵連後行;毗樓匐叉天王亦持傘蓋覆燈,隨摩訶拘絺羅後行;毗沙門天王亦持傘蓋覆燈,隨摩訶劫賓那後行。」

佛說此經已,尊者阿難聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八七三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有四種善好調伏眾

現代漢語譯本:『當這樣想的時候,風雲就會興起。就像風雲天一樣,像火焰閃電天、雷震天、雨天、晴天、寒天、熱天也應該這樣說。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 像這樣說,其他比丘問佛陀,佛陀問眾比丘也像這樣說。 (八七二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊在黑夜裡,天正下著小雨,電光閃耀。佛陀告訴阿難:『你可以用傘蓋遮住燈,拿著它出來。』 尊者阿難立即接受教誨,用傘蓋遮住燈,跟在佛陀身後行走,走到一處,世尊微笑了。尊者阿難對佛陀說:『世尊不會無緣無故地笑,不知世尊今天因何緣故而發笑?』 佛陀告訴阿難:『是這樣!是這樣!如來不會無緣無故地笑,你現在拿著傘蓋遮住燈,跟在我身後行走;我看見梵天也像這樣拿著傘蓋遮住燈,跟在拘鄰比丘身後行走;釋提桓因也拿著傘蓋遮住燈,跟在摩訶迦葉身後行走;帙栗帝羅色吒羅天王也拿著傘蓋遮住燈,跟在舍利弗身後行走;毗樓勒迦天王也拿著傘蓋遮住燈,跟在大目犍連身後行走;毗樓匐叉天王也拿著傘蓋遮住燈,跟在摩訶拘絺羅身後行走;毗沙門天王也拿著傘蓋遮住燈,跟在摩訶劫賓那身後行走。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (八七三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種善好調伏眾』

English version: 'When one thinks thus, wind and clouds will arise. Just as with a windy and cloudy sky, so too with a fiery lightning sky, a thunderous sky, a rainy sky, a clear sky, a cold sky, and a hot sky, it should be said likewise.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. Thus it was said, and other bhikkhus asked the Buddha, and the Buddha asked the bhikkhus, and it was said likewise. (872) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's monastery, in Savatthi. Then, in the darkness of night, when it was lightly raining and lightning was flashing, the Blessed One said to Ananda, 'You may take the lamp, cover it with an umbrella, and bring it out.' Venerable Ananda, having received the instruction, covered the lamp with an umbrella and followed behind the Buddha. Upon reaching a certain place, the Blessed One smiled. Venerable Ananda said to the Buddha, 'The Blessed One does not smile without a reason. What is the cause and reason for the Blessed One's smile today?' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'So it is! So it is! The Tathagata does not smile without a reason. You are now holding the lamp covered with an umbrella, following behind me; I saw Brahma also holding a lamp covered with an umbrella, following behind the bhikkhu Kondanna; Sakka, lord of the devas, also holding a lamp covered with an umbrella, following behind Maha Kassapa; King Dhatarattha also holding a lamp covered with an umbrella, following behind Sariputta; King Virulhaka also holding a lamp covered with an umbrella, following behind Maha Moggallana; King Virupakkha also holding a lamp covered with an umbrella, following behind Maha Kotthita; and King Vessavana also holding a lamp covered with an umbrella, following behind Maha Kappina.' Having spoken this discourse, Venerable Ananda, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. (873) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's monastery, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One said to the bhikkhus, 'There are these four kinds of well-tamed assemblies.'


。何等為四?謂比丘調伏、比丘尼調伏、優婆塞調伏、優婆夷調伏,是名四眾。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「若才辯無畏,  多聞通達法,  行法次法向,  是則為善眾。  比丘持凈戒,  比丘尼多聞,  優婆塞凈信,  優婆夷亦然,  是名為善眾。  如日光自照,  如則善好僧,  是則僧中好,  是法令僧好,  如日光自照。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如調伏,如是辯、柔和、無畏、多聞、通達法、說法、法次法向、隨順法行,亦如是說。

(八七四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有三種子。何等為三?有隨生子、有勝生子、有下生子、何等為隨生子?謂子父母不殺、不盜、不淫、不妄語、不飲酒,子亦隨學不殺、不盜、不淫、不妄語、不飲酒,是名隨生子。何等為勝生子?若子父母不受不殺、不盜、不淫、不妄語、不飲酒戒,子則能受不殺、不盜、不淫、不妄語、不飲酒戒,是名勝生子。云何下生子?若子父母受不殺、不盜、不淫、不妄語、不飲酒戒,子不能受不殺、不盜、不淫、不妄語、不飲酒戒,是名下生子

現代漢語譯本:什麼是四眾?指的是比丘的調伏、比丘尼的調伏、優婆塞的調伏、優婆夷的調伏,這被稱為四眾。 當時,世尊說了偈語: 『如果才辯無畏,多聞通達佛法,奉行佛法,依次第修行,這就是善眾。 比丘持守清凈的戒律,比丘尼多聞博學,優婆塞有清凈的信仰,優婆夷也是如此,這被稱為善眾。 如同陽光照耀自身,如同善好的僧團,這是僧團中的佼佼者,這是使僧團美好的法則,如同陽光照耀自身。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 如同調伏一樣,辯才、柔和、無畏、多聞、通達佛法、說法、依次第修行、隨順佛法而行,也應如此宣說。 (八七四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有三種子。哪三種呢?有隨生子、有勝生子、有下生子。什麼是隨生子?指的是父母不殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語、不飲酒,子女也隨之學習不殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語、不飲酒,這稱為隨生子。什麼是勝生子?指的是父母不受持不殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語、不飲酒的戒律,子女卻能受持不殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語、不飲酒的戒律,這稱為勝生子。什麼是下生子?指的是父母受持不殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語、不飲酒的戒律,子女卻不能受持不殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語、不飲酒的戒律,這稱為下生子。』

English version: What are the four assemblies? They are the discipline of monks, the discipline of nuns, the discipline of male lay followers, and the discipline of female lay followers. These are called the four assemblies. At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'If one is eloquent and fearless, learned and understands the Dharma, practices the Dharma, and progresses in accordance with the Dharma, then this is a good assembly. Monks uphold pure precepts, nuns are learned, male lay followers have pure faith, and female lay followers are the same. This is called a good assembly. Like the sun shining on itself, like a good Sangha, this is the best in the Sangha, this is the law that makes the Sangha good, like the sun shining on itself.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. Just as with discipline, eloquence, gentleness, fearlessness, learning, understanding the Dharma, teaching the Dharma, progressing in accordance with the Dharma, and acting in accordance with the Dharma, should also be spoken of in the same way. (874) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There are three kinds of children. What are the three? There are children who follow their parents, children who surpass their parents, and children who are inferior to their parents. What are children who follow their parents? It refers to children whose parents do not kill, do not steal, do not engage in sexual misconduct, do not lie, and do not drink alcohol, and the children also follow their example by not killing, not stealing, not engaging in sexual misconduct, not lying, and not drinking alcohol. These are called children who follow their parents. What are children who surpass their parents? It refers to children whose parents do not uphold the precepts of not killing, not stealing, not engaging in sexual misconduct, not lying, and not drinking alcohol, but the children are able to uphold the precepts of not killing, not stealing, not engaging in sexual misconduct, not lying, and not drinking alcohol. These are called children who surpass their parents. What are children who are inferior to their parents? It refers to children whose parents uphold the precepts of not killing, not stealing, not engaging in sexual misconduct, not lying, and not drinking alcohol, but the children are unable to uphold the precepts of not killing, not stealing, not engaging in sexual misconduct, not lying, and not drinking alcohol. These are called children who are inferior to their parents.'


。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「生隨及生上,  智父之所欲,  生下非所須,  以不紹繼故,  為人法之子,  當作優婆塞。  于佛法僧寶,  勤修清凈心,  云除月光顯,  光榮眷屬眾。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如五戒,如是信、戒、施、聞、慧經,亦如是說。

(八七五)

如是我聞:

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『出生時隨順和出生時高貴,是智者父親所期望的, 出生時低賤則不是他所需要的,因為不能繼承家業。 作為佛法的兒子,應當成為優婆塞。 對於佛、法、僧三寶,勤奮修習清凈心, 如同雲散月明,光榮照耀眷屬眾人。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 如同五戒一樣,信、戒、施、聞、慧經也是這樣說的。

(八七五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種正斷。哪四種呢?第一是斷斷,第二是律儀斷,第三是隨護斷,第四是修斷。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

English version At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'Birth that follows and birth that is superior, are what the wise father desires, Birth that is inferior is not what he needs, because it cannot continue the family line. As a son of the Dharma, one should become an Upasaka. Towards the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, diligently cultivate a pure mind, Like clouds dispersing and the moon appearing, glory shines upon the family and followers.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. Like the five precepts, the sutras on faith, precepts, giving, listening, and wisdom are also spoken in this way.

(875) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There are four right exertions. What are the four? First is the exertion of abandoning, second is the exertion of restraint, third is the exertion of guarding, and fourth is the exertion of cultivation.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.

First is the exertion of abandoning, second is the exertion of restraint, third is the exertion of guarding, and fourth is the exertion of cultivation.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'Abandoning and restraint, guarding and cultivation, These four right exertions, are what the Buddhas have spoken.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.

。云何為斷斷?謂比丘亦已起惡不善法斷,生欲、方便、精勤、心攝受,是為斷斷。云何律儀斷?未起惡不善法不起,生欲、方便、精勤、攝受,是名律儀斷。云何隨護斷?未起善法令起,生欲、方便、精勤攝受,是名隨護斷。云何修斷?已起善法增益修習,生欲、方便、精勤、攝受,是為修斷。」

(八七九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有四正斷

現代漢語譯本: 『什麼是斷斷?』是指比丘已經生起的惡不善法,通過生起欲求、方便、精勤和心攝受來斷除,這就是斷斷。 『什麼是律儀斷?』是指對於尚未生起的惡不善法,通過生起欲求、方便、精勤和攝受來使其不生起,這就是律儀斷。 『什麼是隨護斷?』是指對於尚未生起的善法,通過生起欲求、方便、精勤和攝受來使其生起,這就是隨護斷。 『什麼是修斷?』是指對於已經生起的善法,通過生起欲求、方便、精勤和攝受來使其增長修習,這就是修斷。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (八七八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種正斷。哪四種呢?第一是斷斷,第二是律儀斷,第三是隨護斷,第四是修斷。』 『什麼是斷斷?』是指比丘已經生起的惡不善法,通過生起欲求、方便、精勤和心攝受來斷除,這就是斷斷。 『什麼是律儀斷?』是指對於尚未生起的惡不善法,通過生起欲求、方便、精勤和攝受來使其不生起,這就是律儀斷。 『什麼是隨護斷?』是指對於尚未生起的善法,通過生起欲求、方便、精勤和攝受來使其生起,這就是隨護斷。 『什麼是修斷?』是指對於已經生起的善法,通過生起欲求、方便、精勤和攝受來使其增長修習,這就是修斷。』 當時,世尊即說偈頌: 『斷斷及律儀,隨護與修習,如此四正斷,諸佛之所說。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (八七九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四種正斷』

English version: 'What is the cutting off of what has been cut off?' It refers to a bhikkhu who, having already arisen evil and unwholesome states, cuts them off by generating desire, effort, diligence, and mental control. This is the cutting off of what has been cut off. 'What is the cutting off of restraint?' It refers to not allowing evil and unwholesome states that have not yet arisen to arise, by generating desire, effort, diligence, and control. This is the cutting off of restraint. 'What is the cutting off of protection?' It refers to causing wholesome states that have not yet arisen to arise, by generating desire, effort, diligence, and control. This is the cutting off of protection. 'What is the cutting off of cultivation?' It refers to increasing and cultivating wholesome states that have already arisen, by generating desire, effort, diligence, and control. This is the cutting off of cultivation.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. (878) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'There are four right exertions. What four? Firstly, the cutting off of what has been cut off; secondly, the cutting off of restraint; thirdly, the cutting off of protection; and fourthly, the cutting off of cultivation.' 'What is the cutting off of what has been cut off?'

(879) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

。何等為四?一者斷斷,二者律儀斷,三者隨護斷,四者修斷。云何斷斷?若比丘已起惡不善法斷,生欲、方便、精勤、攝受;未起惡不善法不起,生欲、方便、精勤、攝受;未生善法令起、生欲、方便、精勤、攝受;已生善法增益修習,生欲、方便、精勤、攝受,是名斷斷。云何律儀斷?若比丘善護眼根,隱密、調伏、進向;如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意根善護、隱密、調伏、進向,是名律儀斷。云何隨護斷?若比丘于彼彼真實三昧相善守護持,所謂青瘀相、脹相、膿相、壞相、食不盡相,修習守護,不令退沒,是名隨護斷。云何修斷?若比丘修四念處等,是名修斷。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「斷斷律儀斷,  隨護修習斷,  此四種正斷,  正覺之所說,  比丘勤方便,  得盡于諸漏。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如四念處,如是四正斷、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺支、八道支、四道、四法句、正觀修習,亦如是說。

(八八〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本: 什麼是四種斷?第一種是斷斷,第二種是律儀斷,第三種是隨護斷,第四種是修斷。什麼是斷斷?如果比丘對於已經生起的惡不善法,爲了斷除它而生起意欲、方便、精勤、攝受;對於尚未生起的惡不善法,爲了不讓它生起而生起意欲、方便、精勤、攝受;對於尚未生起的善法,爲了讓它生起而生起意欲、方便、精勤、攝受;對於已經生起的善法,爲了增益修習而生起意欲、方便、精勤、攝受,這稱為斷斷。什麼是律儀斷?如果比丘善於守護眼根,隱密、調伏、進向;同樣地,對於耳、鼻、舌、身、意根也善於守護、隱密、調伏、進向,這稱為律儀斷。什麼是隨護斷?如果比丘對於各種真實的禪定境界的相狀善加守護,例如青瘀相、脹相、膿相、壞相、食不盡相,修習守護,不讓它們退失,這稱為隨護斷。什麼是修斷?如果比丘修習四念處等,這稱為修斷。

那時,世尊說了偈頌:

'斷斷律儀斷,隨護修習斷,這四種正斷,是正覺所說,比丘勤加方便,就能漏盡。'

佛陀說完此經,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

如同四念處一樣,四正斷、四如意足、五根、五力、七覺支、八道支、四道、四法句、正觀修習,也應如此宣說。

(八八〇)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: What are the four kinds of abandoning? The first is abandoning by abandoning, the second is abandoning by restraint, the third is abandoning by guarding, and the fourth is abandoning by cultivation. What is abandoning by abandoning? If a bhikkhu, for evil unwholesome states that have arisen, generates desire, effort, diligence, and exertion to abandon them; for evil unwholesome states that have not arisen, generates desire, effort, diligence, and exertion to prevent them from arising; for wholesome states that have not arisen, generates desire, effort, diligence, and exertion to make them arise; for wholesome states that have arisen, generates desire, effort, diligence, and exertion to increase and cultivate them, this is called abandoning by abandoning. What is abandoning by restraint? If a bhikkhu is good at guarding the eye faculty, concealing, subduing, and directing it; likewise, for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind faculties, being good at guarding, concealing, subduing, and directing them, this is called abandoning by restraint. What is abandoning by guarding? If a bhikkhu is good at guarding and maintaining the various true samadhi signs, such as the blue-black sign, the swelling sign, the pus sign, the decaying sign, the sign of being not fully consumed, cultivating and guarding them, not letting them decline, this is called abandoning by guarding. What is abandoning by cultivation? If a bhikkhu cultivates the four foundations of mindfulness, etc., this is called abandoning by cultivation.

Then, the World-Honored One spoke these verses:

'Abandoning by abandoning, abandoning by restraint, abandoning by guarding, abandoning by cultivation, these four kinds of right abandoning, are spoken by the Fully Awakened One. A bhikkhu who is diligent and skillful, will attain the exhaustion of all defilements.'

Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly.

Just as with the four foundations of mindfulness, so too should the four right abandonings, the four bases of spiritual power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven factors of enlightenment, the eightfold path, the four paths, the four statements of the Dhamma, and the cultivation of right view be explained.

(880)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如有人作世間建立,彼一切皆依于地;如是比丘修習禪法,一切皆依不放逸為根本,不放逸集、不放逸生、不放逸轉,比丘不放逸者,能修四禪。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八八一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「如是比丘能斷貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如斷貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡,如是調伏貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡;貪慾究竟,瞋恚、愚癡究竟,出要、遠離、涅槃,亦如是說。

(八八二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如百草藥木,皆依于地而得生長;如是種種善法,皆依不放逸為本……」如上說,乃至涅槃。

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如有人建造世間萬物,他們一切都依賴於大地;同樣,比丘修習禪定,一切都以不放逸為根本,不放逸是聚集之處,不放逸是產生之處,不放逸是轉變之處。比丘不放逸,就能修習四禪。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (八八一) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上面所說。不同之處在於:『這樣的比丘能夠斷除貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 如斷除貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡,同樣地調伏貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡;貪慾的究竟,嗔恚、愚癡的究竟,出離、遠離、涅槃,也像這樣說。 (八八二) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如各種草藥樹木,都依賴於大地而生長;同樣,各種善法,都以不放逸為根本……』如上面所說,乃至涅槃。 『譬如黑沉水香是各種香中最上的,同樣,各種善法中,不放逸最為殊勝。』 『譬如堅固的香中,赤栴檀是第一;同樣,一切善法,一切都以不放逸為根本。』像這樣,乃至涅槃。 『譬如水陸各種花中,優缽羅花是第一;同樣,一切善法,都以不放逸為根本,乃至涅槃。』

English version: At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Just as someone establishes worldly things, all of them rely on the earth; likewise, when a bhikkhu cultivates meditation, everything is based on non-negligence as its root, non-negligence is the gathering place, non-negligence is the place of arising, and non-negligence is the place of transformation. A bhikkhu who is non-negligent can cultivate the four jhanas.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (881) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus... as said above. The difference is: 'Such a bhikkhu can cut off greed, hatred, and delusion.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just as cutting off greed, hatred, and delusion, likewise subduing greed, hatred, and delusion; the ultimate of greed, the ultimate of hatred and delusion, liberation, detachment, and nirvana, are also spoken of in this way. (882) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Just as all kinds of herbs and trees grow relying on the earth; likewise, all kinds of wholesome dharmas are based on non-negligence as their root...' as said above, up to nirvana. 'Just as black aloeswood is the best among all fragrances, likewise, among all wholesome dharmas, non-negligence is the most superior.' 'Just as among solid fragrances, red sandalwood is the first; likewise, all wholesome dharmas, all are based on non-negligence as their root.' Thus, up to nirvana. 'Just as among all flowers on land and water, the blue lotus is the first; likewise, all wholesome dharmas are based on non-negligence as their root, up to nirvana.'

(883) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'There are four kinds of meditation. There is meditation where the samadhi is wholesome, but the right attainment is not wholesome; there is meditation where the right attainment is wholesome, but the samadhi is not wholesome; there is meditation where the samadhi is wholesome, and the right attainment is also wholesome; there is meditation where neither the samadhi is wholesome, nor the right attainment is wholesome.' 'Furthermore, there are four kinds of meditation. There is meditation where abiding in samadhi is wholesome, but abiding in right attainment is not wholesome; there is meditation where abiding in right attainment is wholesome, but abiding in samadhi is not wholesome; there is meditation where abiding in samadhi is wholesome, and also abiding in right attainment is wholesome; there is meditation where neither abiding in samadhi is wholesome, nor abiding in right attainment is wholesome.' 'Furthermore, there are four kinds of meditation. There is meditation where arising from samadhi is wholesome, but arising from right attainment is not wholesome; there is meditation where arising from right attainment is wholesome, but arising from samadhi is not wholesome; there is meditation where arising from samadhi is wholesome, and also arising from right attainment is wholesome; there is meditation where neither arising from samadhi is wholesome, nor arising from right attainment is wholesome.' 'Furthermore, there are four kinds of meditation. There is meditation where being in samadhi is wholesome, but being in right attainment is not wholesome; there is meditation where being in right attainment is wholesome, but being in samadhi is not wholesome; there is meditation where being in samadhi is wholesome, and also being in right attainment is wholesome; there is meditation where neither being in samadhi is wholesome, nor being in right attainment is wholesome.' 'Furthermore, there are four kinds of meditation.

English version 『Furthermore, there are four kinds of meditation. There is meditation where the good is cultivated in the state of samadhi, but not in the state of right reception; there is meditation where the good is cultivated in the state of right reception, but not in the state of samadhi; there is meditation where the good is cultivated both in the state of samadhi and in the state of right reception; and there is meditation where the good is neither cultivated in the state of samadhi nor in the state of right reception.』 『Furthermore, there are four kinds of meditation.

(884) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One said to the monks, 『There are three knowledges of the Arhat. What are the three? The knowledge of past lives, the knowledge of the cycle of birth and death, and the knowledge of the extinction of all defilements.』 At that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 『Observing and knowing past lives, seeing beings born in heavens and evil realms, the defilements of birth and death are all extinguished, this is the wisdom light of the Muni. His mind is liberated, all cravings are cut off, he understands the three times, therefore he is said to have three knowledges.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

「云何無學宿命智證通?謂聖弟子知種種宿命事,從一生至百千萬億生,乃至劫數成壞,我及眾生宿命所更如是名、如是生、如是性、如是食、如是受苦樂、如是長壽、如是久住、如是受分齊;我及眾生於此處死、余處生,于余處死、此處生,有如是行、如是因、如是信,受種種宿命事,皆悉了知,是名宿命智證明。

「云何生死智證明?謂聖弟子天眼凈過於人眼,見諸眾生死時、生時,善色、惡色,上色、下色,向于惡趣,隨業受生如實知;如此眾生身惡行成就、口惡行成就、意惡行成就,謗聖人,邪見受邪法因緣故,身壞命終,生惡趣泥犁中;此眾生身善行、口善行,意善行,不謗毀聖人,正見成就,身壞命終,生於善趣天人中,是名生死智證明。

「云何漏盡智證明?謂聖弟子此苦如實知,此苦集、此苦滅、此苦滅道跡如實知;彼如是知、如是見,欲有漏心解脫、有有漏心解脫、無明漏心解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』是名漏盡智證明。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「觀察知宿命,  見天惡趣生,  生死諸漏盡,  是則牟尼明。  知心得解脫,  一切諸貪愛,  三處悉通達,  故說為三明

現代漢語譯本: 『什麼是無學宿命智的證通?』是指聖弟子知道種種宿命的事情,從一生到百千萬億生,乃至劫數的成壞,『我』和眾生宿命所經歷的,如是的名字、如是的出生、如是的性格、如是的食物、如是的苦樂感受、如是的壽命長短、如是的久住、如是的受生界限;『我』和眾生在此處死,在其他地方生,在其他地方死,在此處生,有如是的行為、如是的因、如是的信,接受種種宿命的事情,都完全知道,這叫做宿命智的證明。 『什麼是生死智的證明?』是指聖弟子天眼清凈,勝過人眼,看見眾生死的時候、生的時候,好的顏色、壞的顏色,上面的顏色、下面的顏色,走向惡趣,隨著業力受生,如實地知道;這樣的眾生,身體的惡行成就、口頭的惡行成就、意念的惡行成就,誹謗聖人,邪見接受邪法,因為這樣的因緣,身體壞了,生命終結,生到惡趣泥犁中;這個眾生身體的善行、口頭的善行、意念的善行,不誹謗毀壞聖人,正見成就,身體壞了,生命終結,生到善趣天人中,這叫做生死智的證明。 『什麼是漏盡智的證明?』是指聖弟子如實地知道這個苦,這個苦的集起、這個苦的滅盡、這個苦滅盡的道路,如實地知道;他這樣知道、這樣看見,欲有的煩惱心解脫、有有的煩惱心解脫、無明的煩惱心解脫,解脫後知道:『我的生已經盡了,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做了,自己知道不再有後來的生命。』這叫做漏盡智的證明。 那時,世尊就說了偈語: 『觀察知道宿命,看見天道惡趣的眾生出生,生死和各種煩惱都已斷盡,這就是牟尼的明智。 知道心已解脫,一切的貪愛,在三處都通達,所以說為三明。』

English version: 'What is the supernormal knowledge of past lives of one who has completed their training?' It refers to a noble disciple who knows various past lives, from one life to hundreds of thousands of millions of lives, even the formation and destruction of eons. 'I' and other beings have experienced past lives with such names, such births, such natures, such foods, such experiences of suffering and happiness, such lifespans, such durations, such limits of existence. 'I' and other beings die here and are born elsewhere, die elsewhere and are born here, with such actions, such causes, such beliefs, experiencing various past lives, all of which are fully known. This is called the proof of the supernormal knowledge of past lives. 'What is the proof of the supernormal knowledge of the passing away and rebirth of beings?' It refers to a noble disciple whose divine eye is purer than the human eye, seeing beings passing away and being born, with good colors and bad colors, higher colors and lower colors, going to evil destinies, being reborn according to their karma, knowing this as it truly is. Such beings, having accomplished evil deeds in body, speech, and mind, slandering the noble ones, holding wrong views and accepting wrong teachings, because of these causes, when their bodies break down and their lives end, they are born in the evil hell realms. This being, with good deeds in body, speech, and mind, not slandering or destroying the noble ones, having accomplished right views, when their bodies break down and their lives end, they are born in the good heavenly realms. This is called the proof of the supernormal knowledge of the passing away and rebirth of beings. 'What is the proof of the supernormal knowledge of the extinction of defilements?' It refers to a noble disciple who truly knows this suffering, the arising of this suffering, the cessation of this suffering, and the path leading to the cessation of this suffering. Knowing and seeing in this way, the mind is liberated from the defilements of sensual desire, the mind is liberated from the defilements of existence, and the mind is liberated from the defilements of ignorance. With this liberation, they know: 'My birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, and I know that there will be no further existence.' This is called the proof of the supernormal knowledge of the extinction of defilements. At that time, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 'Observing and knowing past lives, seeing beings born in heavenly realms and evil destinies, the passing away and rebirth and all defilements are exhausted, this is the wisdom of the Muni. Knowing that the mind is liberated, all craving and attachment, in three places are fully understood, therefore it is called the three knowledges.'

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八八六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異婆羅門來詣佛所,與世尊面相慰勞,慰勞已,退坐一面。而作是說:「此則婆羅門三明,此則婆羅門三明。」

爾時,世尊告婆羅門言:「云何名為婆羅門三明?」

婆羅門白佛言:「瞿曇!婆羅門父母具相,無諸瑕穢,父母七世相承,無諸譏論,世世相承,常為師長,辯才具足;誦諸經典、物類名字、萬物差品、字類分合、歷世本末,此五種記,悉皆通達,容色端正。是名,瞿曇!婆羅門三明。」

佛告婆羅門:「我不以名字言說為三明也,賢聖法間說真要實三明,謂賢聖知見,賢聖法、律真實三明。」

婆羅門白佛:「云何?瞿曇!賢聖知見,賢聖法、律所說三明?」

佛告婆羅門:「有三種無學三明。何等為三?謂無學宿命智證明、無學生死智證明、無學漏盡智證明……」如上經廣說。

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「一切法無常,  持戒寂靜禪,  知一切宿命,  已生天惡趣,  得斷生漏盡,  是為牟尼通。  悉知心解脫,  一切貪恚癡,  我說是三明,  非言語所說

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。

(八八六)

我(阿難)是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位婆羅門來到佛陀住所,與世尊互相問候,問候完畢后,退坐在一旁。然後說道:『這就是婆羅門的三明,這就是婆羅門的三明。』

這時,世尊告訴婆羅門說:『你所說的婆羅門三明是什麼呢?』

婆羅門回答佛陀說:『瞿曇!婆羅門的父母都具備高貴的血統,沒有瑕疵,父母七代相傳,沒有受到任何譏諷,世世代代相傳,都是師長,辯才出衆;能背誦各種經典、各種事物的名稱、萬物的差別和等級、文字的分類和組合、歷代歷史的始末,這五種記錄都通達,容貌端正。這,瞿曇,就叫做婆羅門的三明。』

佛陀告訴婆羅門說:『我不認為用名字言說就是三明,賢聖的法中說的是真實的三明,指的是賢聖的知見,賢聖的法和律所說的真實三明。』

婆羅門問佛陀:『瞿曇!什麼是賢聖的知見,賢聖的法和律所說的三明呢?』

佛陀告訴婆羅門:『有三種無學的三明。哪三種呢?就是無學的宿命智證明、無學生的死智證明、無學漏盡智證明……』(如上經文詳細所說)。

這時,世尊就說了偈語:

『一切法都是無常的, 持戒、寂靜、禪定, 知道一切宿命, 已經經歷過天道和惡道, 能夠斷除生死和煩惱, 這就是牟尼的通達。 完全瞭解心的解脫, 一切的貪、嗔、癡, 我所說的這才是三明, 不是言語所能表達的。』

English version After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(886)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

Then, a certain Brahmin came to where the Buddha was, exchanged greetings with the World-Honored One, and after the greetings, sat down to one side. He then said, 'This is the Brahmin's three knowledges, this is the Brahmin's three knowledges.'

At that time, the World-Honored One said to the Brahmin, 'What are these three knowledges of the Brahmin that you speak of?'

The Brahmin replied to the Buddha, 'Gautama! The Brahmin's parents are of noble lineage, without any flaws, their lineage has been passed down for seven generations without any criticism, they have been teachers for generations, and they are eloquent; they can recite all the scriptures, the names of all things, the differences and categories of all things, the classification and combination of words, and the history of past lives, they are proficient in these five kinds of records, and they are of handsome appearance. This, Gautama, is called the Brahmin's three knowledges.'

The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'I do not consider the use of names and words to be the three knowledges. In the Dharma of the Noble Ones, the true three knowledges are spoken of, which refer to the knowledge and insight of the Noble Ones, the true three knowledges spoken of in the Dharma and Vinaya of the Noble Ones.'

The Brahmin asked the Buddha, 'Gautama! What are the three knowledges spoken of in the knowledge and insight of the Noble Ones, and in the Dharma and Vinaya of the Noble Ones?'

The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'There are three kinds of non-learning three knowledges. What are the three? They are the non-learning knowledge of past lives, the non-learning knowledge of the death and rebirth of beings, and the non-learning knowledge of the extinction of outflows...' (as explained in detail in the sutra above).

At that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses:

'All things are impermanent, Maintaining precepts, tranquility, and meditation, Knowing all past lives, Having experienced heavenly and evil realms, Being able to cut off birth and outflows, This is the Muni's understanding. Fully understanding the liberation of the mind, All greed, hatred, and delusion, These are the three knowledges I speak of, Not what can be expressed in words.'


「婆羅門!是為聖法、律所說三明。」

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'I will teach you the unconditioned, and the path to the unconditioned. Listen closely, and reflect well. What is the unconditioned? It is the complete destruction of greed, the complete destruction of hatred, the complete destruction of delusion, the complete destruction of all defilements. This is the unconditioned. What is the path to the unconditioned? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely, right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. This is called the path to the unconditioned.'

Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, pleased with what the Buddha had said, practiced accordingly.

Just as the unconditioned is described, so too are the following: difficult to see, unmoving, unyielding, deathless, without outflows, a refuge, an island, a crossing over, a support, a protection, not subject to change, free from heat, free from burning, flowing, cool, subtle, secure, without disease, without possessions, and Nirvana.

(891)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'Suppose there is a lake, fifty yojanas wide and long, and just as deep. If a man were to take a single drop of water from that lake with the tip of a hair, what do you think, bhikkhus? Is the water in the lake more, or is the single drop of water on the tip of the hair more?'

The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, the drop of water on the tip of the hair is very little, while the water in the lake is immeasurable, countless millions of times more, beyond comparison.'

The Buddha said to the bhikkhus: 'One who has fully seen the truth, who has right view


。世尊弟子見真諦果,正無間等,彼于爾時已斷、已知,斷其根本,如截多羅樹頭,更不復生,所斷諸苦甚多無量,如大湖水,所餘之苦如毛端渧水。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如毛端渧水,如是草籌之端渧水亦如是。

如湖池水,如是薩羅多吒伽、恒水、耶扶那、薩羅㳛、伊羅跋提、摩醯、大海,亦如是說。

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八九二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有內六入處。云何為六?謂眼內入處,耳、鼻、舌、身、意內入處。於此六法觀察忍,名為信行,超升離生,離凡夫地,未得須陀洹果,乃至未命終,要得須陀洹果。若此諸法增上觀察忍,名為法行,超升離生,離凡夫地,未得須陀洹果,乃至未命終,要得須陀洹果。若此諸法如實正智觀察,三結已盡、已知,謂身見、戒取、疑,是名須陀洹。不墮決定惡趣,定趣三菩提,七有天人往生,究竟苦邊。此等諸法正智觀察,不起諸漏,離欲解脫,名阿羅漢。諸漏已盡,所作已作,離諸重擔,逮得己利,盡諸有結,正智心善解脫。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:世尊的弟子證悟真諦的果位,達到正無間等境界,他們在那個時候已經斷除、已經知曉,斷除了苦的根本,就像砍斷多羅樹的樹頭一樣,不再重新生長。他們所斷除的諸苦非常多,無量無邊,如同巨大的湖水,而剩餘的苦則像毛端上的一滴水。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 如同毛端上的一滴水,也如同草莖末端的一滴水一樣。 如同湖泊池塘的水,也如同薩羅多吒伽河、恒河、耶扶那河、薩羅㳛河、伊羅跋提河、摩醯河、大海的水一樣。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (八九二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有內在的六入處。什麼是六入處呢?就是眼內入處、耳內入處、鼻內入處、舌內入處、身內入處、意內入處。對於這六法,如果觀察並安忍,就稱為信行,超越並脫離凡夫的境界,雖然還未證得須陀洹果,但直到命終,必定會證得須陀洹果。如果對這六法更加深入地觀察並安忍,就稱為法行,超越並脫離凡夫的境界,雖然還未證得須陀洹果,但直到命終,必定會證得須陀洹果。如果對這六法如實地以正智觀察,三結(身見、戒取、疑)已經斷盡、已經知曉,就稱為須陀洹。不會墮入決定惡趣,必定趣向三菩提,經歷七次天人往生,最終達到苦的盡頭。如果以正智觀察這些法,不起諸漏,脫離慾望的束縛,就稱為阿羅漢。諸漏已經斷盡,該做的已經做完,脫離了所有重擔,獲得了自身的利益,斷盡了所有束縛,以正智使心得到徹底的解脫。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version: The disciples of the World-Honored One, having seen the fruit of the true reality, reaching the state of 'right without interval,' at that time have already severed and known, severing the root of suffering, like cutting off the head of a palmyra tree, never to grow again. The sufferings they have severed are very many, immeasurable, like the water of a great lake, while the remaining suffering is like a drop of water on the tip of a hair. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Like a drop of water on the tip of a hair, so too is a drop of water on the tip of a blade of grass. Like the water of a lake or pond, so too are the waters of the Saratoṭakā, the Ganges, the Yamunā, the Sarabhū, the Irāvatī, the Mahī, and the great ocean. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (892) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'There are six internal sense bases. What are the six? They are the internal sense bases of the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. If one observes and endures these six dharmas, it is called 'faith-follower,' transcending and departing from the state of ordinary people. Although one has not yet attained the fruit of a Stream-Enterer, until the end of life, one will surely attain the fruit of a Stream-Enterer. If one observes and endures these dharmas with increased intensity, it is called 'dharma-follower,' transcending and departing from the state of ordinary people. Although one has not yet attained the fruit of a Stream-Enterer, until the end of life, one will surely attain the fruit of a Stream-Enterer. If one observes these dharmas with true and correct wisdom, the three fetters (self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, and doubt) are already exhausted and known, this is called a Stream-Enterer. One will not fall into a determined evil destiny, one is destined for the three Bodhis, and after seven rebirths in the heavens and among humans, one will reach the end of suffering. If one observes these dharmas with true wisdom, not arising from outflows, and liberated from desire, this is called an Arhat. The outflows are already exhausted, what needed to be done is done, one is free from all burdens, one has attained one's own benefit, one has exhausted all fetters, and with true wisdom, the mind is well liberated.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.


如內六入處,如是外六入處、六識身、六觸身、六受身、六想身、六思身、六愛身、六界身、五陰,亦如上說。

(八九三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有五種種子生。何等為五?謂根種子、莖種子、節種子、枝種子、種種子。此諸種子不斷、不破、不腐、不傷、不穿堅,新得地界,不得水界,彼諸種子不得生長增廣;得水界,不得地界,彼諸種子不得生長增廣;要得地界、水界,彼諸種子得生長增廣。如是業,煩惱、有、愛、見、慢、無明而生行;若有業而無煩惱、愛、見、無明者,行則滅。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如行,如是識、名色、六入處、觸、受、愛、取、有、生、老死,亦如是說。

(八九四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「於我世間,於世間及世間集不如是知者,我終不得於諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門及諸世間,為解脫、為出、為離,離顛倒想,亦不名阿耨多羅三藐三菩提

現代漢語譯本: 就像內在的六種感官入口一樣,外在的六種感官入口、六種意識、六種接觸、六種感受、六種想法、六種思慮、六種愛慾、六種界限、五蘊,也像上面所說的那樣。

(八九三)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有五種種子會生長。哪五種呢?就是根種子、莖種子、節種子、枝種子、種子的種子。這些種子如果不斷裂、不破損、不腐爛、不受傷、堅固,新得到土地的條件,但沒有得到水的條件,這些種子就不能生長擴大;得到水的條件,但沒有得到土地的條件,這些種子也不能生長擴大;必須得到土地和水的條件,這些種子才能生長擴大。』就像這樣,業、煩惱、存在、愛慾、見解、傲慢、無明產生行為;如果有業而沒有煩惱、愛慾、見解、無明,行為就會滅盡。

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

就像行為一樣,意識、名色、六種感官入口、接觸、感受、愛慾、執取、存在、出生、衰老和死亡,也像這樣說。

(八九四)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果對於我所說的世間,對於世間和世間的集起不能如實知曉,我終究不能在諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門以及世間中,被認為是解脫、出離、遠離顛倒妄想的人,也不能被稱為無上正等正覺。』

English version: Just like the six internal sense entrances, so are the six external sense entrances, the six bodies of consciousness, the six bodies of contact, the six bodies of feeling, the six bodies of perception, the six bodies of thought, the six bodies of craving, the six elements, and the five aggregates, as described above.

(893)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'There are five kinds of seeds that grow. What are the five? They are root seeds, stem seeds, node seeds, branch seeds, and seed seeds. If these seeds are not broken, not damaged, not rotten, not injured, and are firm, and they newly obtain the earth element but do not obtain the water element, those seeds cannot grow and expand; if they obtain the water element but do not obtain the earth element, those seeds cannot grow and expand; only when they obtain both the earth element and the water element can those seeds grow and expand.' Just so, actions arise from karma, defilements, existence, craving, views, conceit, and ignorance; if there is karma but no defilements, craving, views, or ignorance, then actions cease.

Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings.

Just like actions, so are consciousness, name and form, the six sense entrances, contact, feeling, craving, grasping, existence, birth, old age, and death, as described.

(894)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'If one does not truly understand the world, the origin of the world, and the cessation of the world as I have taught, then I cannot be considered by gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, and the world to be liberated, to have escaped, to be free from deluded thinking, nor can I be called the Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment.'


。以我於世間及世間集如實知故,是故我于諸天、世人、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門及餘眾生,為得解脫、為出、為離,心離顛倒,具足住,得成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是世間世間集、世間滅,世間集、世間出,世間集、世間滅、世間味、世間患、世間出,世間集、世間滅、世間出,世間集、世間滅道跡,世間集、世間滅、世間集道跡、世間滅道跡,世間集、世間滅、世間味、世間患、世間出,世間集、世間滅、世間集道跡、世間滅道跡、世間味、世間患、世間出。

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(八九五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有三愛。何等為三?謂欲愛、色愛、無色愛。為斷此三愛故,當求大師。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:'因為我如實地知曉世間以及世間的集起,所以我爲了讓諸天、世人、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門以及其他眾生能夠解脫、出離、遠離,內心不再顛倒,安住于正見,最終成就無上正等正覺。' '佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。' '如此,世間的集起、世間的滅盡,世間的集起、世間的出離,世間的集起、世間的滅盡、世間的樂味、世間的過患、世間的出離,世間的集起、世間的滅盡、世間的出離,世間的集起、世間的滅盡之道跡,世間的集起、世間的滅盡、世間的集起之道跡、世間的滅盡之道跡,世間的集起、世間的滅盡、世間的樂味、世間的過患、世間的出離,世間的集起、世間的滅盡、世間的集起之道跡、世間的滅盡之道跡、世間的樂味、世間的過患、世間的出離。' '佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。' '(八九五)' '如是我聞:' '一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。' '那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有三種愛。哪三種呢?就是欲愛、色愛、無色愛。爲了斷除這三種愛,應當尋求大師。』' '佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。'

English version: 'Because I truly know the world and the arising of the world, therefore, for the sake of the liberation, the escape, and the detachment of gods, humans, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, and other beings, so that their minds are no longer inverted, they dwell in right view, and ultimately attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.' 'After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.'

時,尊者羅睺羅來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!云何知、云何見,我此識身及外境界一切相不憶念,于其中間盡諸有漏?」

佛告羅睺羅:「有內六入處。何等為六?謂眼入處

當時,尊者羅睺羅來到佛陀住所,頂禮佛足后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!如何知、如何見,才能使我這個識身以及外在境界的一切相都不再憶念,從而在此期間斷盡一切有漏呢?』

(896)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying at Jeta's Grove in Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, 'There are three outflows. What are the three? They are the outflow of sensual desire, the outflow of becoming, and the outflow of ignorance. To abandon these three outflows, one should seek a master.'

After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks were delighted and practiced what the Buddha had said.

As one seeks a master, so it should be said even when seeking right thought.

(897)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Bamboo Grove in Kalandaka in Rajagriha.

Then, the venerable Rahula came to where the Buddha was, bowed down at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, how should one know, how should one see, so that this body of consciousness and all the external objects are not remembered, and in the meantime, all outflows are exhausted?'

The Buddha said to Rahula, 'There are six internal sense bases. What are the six? They are the eye sense base


。耳、鼻、舌、身、意入處,此等諸法,正智觀察,盡諸有漏,正智心善解脫,是名阿羅漢,盡諸有漏,所作已作,已舍重擔,逮得己利,盡諸有結,正智心得解脫。」

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘對眼睛所見的色塵產生貪著,就會生起更強烈的煩惱。生起更強烈煩惱的人,對於各種染污的心念就無法離欲,他們所受的障礙也無法斷除,乃至對於意根所接觸的法塵也是這樣說。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 如同內在的六入處,外在的六入處乃至五蘊,也是這樣說的。 (九〇一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如世間所做的一切事情,都是依靠大地才能建立起來。同樣地,一切善法,都是依靠內在的六入處才能建立起來。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 如同內在的六入處,外在的六入處乃至五蘊,也是這樣說的。 (九〇二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果有眾生,無論是無足的、二足的、四足的、多足的,有色的、無色的,有想的、無想的,非想非非想的,在一切眾生中,如來是最第一的,乃至聖戒也是這樣說的。』 (九〇三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『世間眾生所做的一切事情,都是依靠大地才能建立起來;同樣地,一切法,無論是有為法還是無為法,離貪慾的法是最為第一的……』如此廣泛地闡述,乃至『聖戒也是這樣說的。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。

English version At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu is attached to the taste of the eye, then higher defilements arise. When higher defilements arise, one cannot be detached from defiled thoughts, and the hindrances cannot be cut off. The same is said for the mind-base as well.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just as with the six internal sense bases, so too with the six external sense bases and even the five aggregates, it is said in the same way. (901) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagriha. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Just as all things done in the world are established by relying on the earth, so too all good dharmas are established by relying on the six internal sense bases.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just as with the six internal sense bases, so too with the six external sense bases and even the five aggregates, it is said in the same way. (902) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagriha. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If there are beings, whether footless, two-footed, four-footed, or many-footed, with form or without form, with perception or without perception, neither with perception nor without perception, among all beings, the Tathagata is the foremost, and the same is said for the noble precepts.' (903) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagriha. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Whatever beings in the world do, all of that is established by relying on the earth; likewise, all dharmas, whether conditioned or unconditioned, the dharma of detachment from desire is the foremost...' Thus it is extensively explained, even to 'the noble precepts are also spoken of in this way.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若諸世間眾生,彼一切皆依于地而得建立;如是一切諸眾,如來聲聞眾最為第一……」如是廣說,乃至「聖戒。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

時,有眾多外道出家詣尊者舍利弗,與尊者面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,語尊者舍利弗言:「云何?舍利弗!如來有後生死耶?」

舍利弗言:「諸外道!世尊說言,此是無記。」

舍利弗答言:「諸外道!世尊說言,此是無記。」

又問:「舍利弗!如來有後生死、無後生死耶?」

又問舍利弗:「如來非有後生死、非無後生死耶?」

舍利弗答言:「諸外道!世尊說言,此是無記

現代漢語譯本 (九〇四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『世間一切眾生,都依賴於大地而得以存在;同樣,一切眾生中,如來的聲聞弟子最為第一……』如此廣泛地宣說,乃至『聖戒』。 佛陀說完此經,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 《雜阿含經》卷第三十一 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》

English version (904) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'All beings in the world are established upon the earth; likewise, among all beings, the disciples of the Tathagata are the foremost...' Thus he spoke extensively, even to 'the noble precepts.' Having spoken this sutra, the monks, hearing what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 31 Taisho Tripitaka, Vol. 02, No. 0099, Samyukta Agama Sutra

Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 32 Translated by Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India (905) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the Venerable Mahakasyapa and the Venerable Sariputra were dwelling on Mount Gijjhakuta. Then, many ascetics of other sects came to the Venerable Sariputra, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries, they sat down to one side and said to the Venerable Sariputra: 'Sariputra, does the Tathagata have a future life after death?' Sariputra said: 'O ascetics of other sects, the World-Honored One has said that this is unanswerable.' They asked again: 'Sariputra, does the Tathagata not have a future life after death?' Sariputra replied: 'O ascetics of other sects, the World-Honored One has said that this is unanswerable.' They asked again: 'Sariputra, does the Tathagata both have and not have a future life after death?' Sariputra replied: 'The World-Honored One has said that this is unanswerable.' They asked Sariputra again: 'Does the Tathagata neither have nor not have a future life after death?' Sariputra replied: 'O ascetics of other sects, the World-Honored One has said that this is unanswerable.'


。」

諸外道出家又問尊者舍利弗:「云何所問如來有後生死、無後生死、有後無後、非有後非無後,一切答言:『世尊說,此是無記。』云何為上座,如愚如癡,不善不辯,如嬰兒無自性智?」作此語已,從坐起去。

爾時,尊者摩訶迦葉、尊者舍利弗相去不遠,各坐樹下,晝日禪思。尊者舍利弗知諸外道出家去已,詣尊者摩訶迦葉所,共相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面。以向與諸外道出家所論說事,具白尊者摩訶迦葉:「尊者摩訶迦葉!何因何緣世尊不記說,後有生死、后無生死、後有后無、非有非無生死耶?」

尊者摩訶迦葉語舍利弗言:「若說如來後有生死者,是則為色;若說如來無後生死,是則為色;若說如來有後生死、無後生死,是則為色;若說如來非有後、非無後生死,是則為色。如來者,色已盡,心善解脫。言有後生死者,此則不然;無後生死、有後無後、非有後非無後生死,此亦不然。如來者,色已盡,心善解脫,甚深廣大,無量無數,寂滅涅槃。

「舍利弗!若說如來有後生死者,是則為受、為想、為行、為識、為動、為慮、為虛誑、為有為、為愛,乃至非有非無後有亦如是說

現代漢語譯本 那些外道出家人又問尊者舍利弗:『為什麼關於如來是否有來世、沒有來世、既有來世又沒有來世、既非有來世又非沒有來世的問題,你都回答說:「世尊說,這是無記。」為什麼你作為上座,卻像個愚笨癡呆的人,不善於辯論,像個沒有自主智慧的嬰兒?』說完這些話,他們就起身離開了。 當時,尊者摩訶迦葉和尊者舍利弗相距不遠,各自坐在樹下,白天進行禪思。尊者舍利弗知道那些外道出家人已經離開后,就來到尊者摩訶迦葉那裡,互相問候慰問之後,退坐在一旁。他把剛才與那些外道出家人辯論的事情,詳細地告訴了尊者摩訶迦葉:『尊者摩訶迦葉!是什麼原因,世尊不記說關於來世有生死、來世無生死、來世既有又無、來世既非有也非無的生死呢?』 尊者摩訶迦葉對舍利弗說:『如果說如來有來世的生死,那就是執著於色;如果說如來沒有來世的生死,那也是執著於色;如果說如來既有來世又有來世的生死,那還是執著於色;如果說如來既非有來世也非沒有來世的生死,那仍然是執著於色。如來,他的色身已經滅盡,心已得到徹底的解脫。說有來世的生死,這是不對的;說沒有來世的生死、既有又無來世的生死、既非有也非無來世的生死,這些也都是不對的。如來,他的色身已經滅盡,心已得到徹底的解脫,他的境界深邃廣大,無量無數,寂滅涅槃。』 『舍利弗!如果說如來有來世的生死,那就是執著于受、想、行、識、動、慮、虛誑、有為、愛,乃至說既非有也非無來世,也是同樣的道理。』

English version Then those ascetics of other sects asked Venerable Sariputra, 'Why do you answer all questions about whether the Tathagata has an afterlife, has no afterlife, both has and has no afterlife, or neither has nor has no afterlife, by saying, 「The World-Honored One says this is unrecorded.」 Why are you, as an elder, like a foolish and dull person, unskilled in debate, like an infant without self-wisdom?' Having said this, they rose from their seats and left. At that time, Venerable Mahakasyapa and Venerable Sariputra were not far from each other, each sitting under a tree, meditating during the day. Venerable Sariputra, knowing that those ascetics of other sects had left, went to Venerable Mahakasyapa, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries, sat down to one side. He recounted to Venerable Mahakasyapa the matters he had discussed with those ascetics of other sects, saying, 'Venerable Mahakasyapa! What is the reason why the World-Honored One does not record whether there is an afterlife, no afterlife, both an afterlife and no afterlife, or neither an afterlife nor no afterlife?' Venerable Mahakasyapa said to Sariputra, 'If it is said that the Tathagata has an afterlife, that is attachment to form; if it is said that the Tathagata has no afterlife, that is also attachment to form; if it is said that the Tathagata both has and has no afterlife, that is still attachment to form; if it is said that the Tathagata neither has nor has no afterlife, that is still attachment to form. The Tathagata, his form has been exhausted, and his mind is well liberated. To say there is an afterlife is not correct; to say there is no afterlife, both an afterlife and no afterlife, or neither an afterlife nor no afterlife, these are also not correct. The Tathagata, his form has been exhausted, and his mind is well liberated, his state is profound and vast, immeasurable and countless, peaceful and in Nirvana.' 'Sariputra! If it is said that the Tathagata has an afterlife, that is attachment to feeling, perception, mental formations, consciousness, movement, thought, falsehood, conditioned things, and craving, and even to say neither has nor has no afterlife is the same.'


。如來者,愛已盡,心善解脫,是故說後有者不然,后無、後有無、后非有非無者不然,如來者,愛已盡,心善解脫,甚深廣大,無量無數,寂滅涅槃。舍利弗!如是因、如是緣,故有問世尊:『如來若有、若無、若有無、若非有非無後生死?』不可記說。」

時,二正士共論議已,各還本處。

(九〇六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者摩訶迦葉住舍衛國東園鹿子母講堂,晡時從禪覺,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!何因何緣,世尊先為諸聲聞少制戒時,多有比丘心樂習學;今多為聲聞制戒,而諸比丘少樂習學?」

佛言:「如是,迦葉!命濁、煩惱濁、劫濁、眾生濁、見濁,眾生善法退減故,大師為諸聲聞多制禁戒,少樂習學,迦葉。譬如劫欲壞時,真寶未滅,有諸相似偽寶出於世間;偽寶出已,真寶則沒。如是,迦葉!如來正法欲滅之時,有相似像法生;相似像法出世間已,正法則滅。譬如大海中,船載多珍寶,則頓沉沒;如來正法則不如是漸漸消滅

現代漢語譯本:'如來',是指愛慾已經斷盡,內心得到徹底解脫的人。因此,說'如來'死後還存在,或者死後不存在,或者死後既存在又不存在,或者死後既非存在也非不存在,這些說法都是不正確的。'如來',是指愛慾已經斷盡,內心得到徹底解脫的人,他的境界深邃廣大,無法衡量,無法計數,是寂靜滅絕的涅槃境界。舍利弗,就是因為這樣的原因,這樣的緣故,所以有人問世尊:『如來死後是存在、不存在、既存在又不存在、還是既非存在也非不存在?』這個問題是無法回答的。」 當時,這兩位修行人討論完畢后,各自回到自己的住處。 (九〇六) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者摩訶迦葉住在舍衛國東園的鹿子母講堂。傍晚時分,他從禪定中醒來,前往佛陀的住所,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊,是什麼原因,什麼緣故,世尊先前為聲聞弟子制定少量戒律時,有很多比丘樂於學習;現在為聲聞弟子制定很多戒律,反而很少有比丘樂於學習呢?』 佛陀說:『是這樣的,迦葉!因為壽命衰敗、煩惱熾盛、時代污濁、眾生墮落、見解偏頗,眾生的善法逐漸減少,所以導師為聲聞弟子制定很多戒律,卻很少有人樂於學習。迦葉,譬如當劫難將要毀滅時,真正的寶物還沒有消失,世間會出現許多相似的假寶;假寶出現后,真寶就會隱沒。同樣,迦葉,當如來的正法將要滅亡時,會出現相似的像法;相似的像法出現於世間后,正法就會滅亡。譬如大海中,一艘船裝載了太多珍寶,就會立刻沉沒;如來的正法不會像這樣漸漸消滅。』

English version: 'The Tathagata' is one whose love is exhausted and whose mind is well liberated. Therefore, to say that the Tathagata exists after death, or does not exist after death, or both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death, is not correct. 'The Tathagata' is one whose love is exhausted and whose mind is well liberated, whose state is profound and vast, immeasurable and countless, and is the peaceful extinction of Nirvana. Shariputra, it is because of such a cause and such a condition that some ask the World Honored One: 'Does the Tathagata exist, not exist, both exist and not exist, or neither exist nor not exist after death?' This question cannot be answered.' At that time, the two righteous men finished their discussion and each returned to their own place. (906) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the Venerable Mahakashyapa was dwelling in the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the Eastern Park of Shravasti. In the late afternoon, he arose from meditation, went to the Buddha's dwelling, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, what is the cause, what is the reason, that when the World Honored One previously established few precepts for the disciples, many monks were happy to learn them; but now that many precepts are established for the disciples, few monks are happy to learn them?' The Buddha said: 'It is so, Kashyapa! Because of the turbidity of life, the turbidity of afflictions, the turbidity of the eon, the turbidity of beings, and the turbidity of views, the good dharmas of beings are decreasing. Therefore, the teacher establishes many precepts for the disciples, but few are happy to learn them. Kashyapa, it is like when an eon is about to be destroyed, the true treasures have not yet disappeared, and many similar false treasures appear in the world; once the false treasures appear, the true treasures will be hidden. Likewise, Kashyapa, when the Tathagata's true Dharma is about to perish, similar semblance dharmas will arise; once the semblance dharmas appear in the world, the true Dharma will perish. It is like in the great ocean, a ship loaded with too many treasures will sink immediately; the Tathagata's true Dharma will not perish in such a gradual way.'


。如來正法不為地界所壞,不為水、火、風界所壞,乃至惡眾生出世,樂行諸惡、欲行諸惡、成就諸惡,非法言法、法言非法、非律言律、律言非律,以相似法,句味熾然,如來正法於此則沒。

「迦葉!有五因緣能令如來正法沉沒。何等為五?若比丘于大師所,不敬不重,不下意供養;于大師所,不敬不重,不下意供養已,然復依猗而住。若法、若學、若隨順教、若諸梵行,大師所稱歎者,不敬不重,不下意供養,而依止住。是名,迦葉!五因緣故,如來正法於此沉沒。

「迦葉!有五因緣令如來法、律不沒、不忘、不退。何等為五?若比丘于大師所,恭敬尊重,下意供養,依止而住,若法、若學、若隨順教、若諸梵行,大師所稱歎者,恭敬尊重,下意供養,依止而住。迦葉!是名五因緣如來法、律不沒、不忘、不退。是故,迦葉!當如是學:『于大師所,當修恭敬尊重,下意供養,依止而住;若法、若學、若隨順教、若諸梵行,大師所讚歎者,恭敬尊重,下意供養,依止而住。』」

佛說是經已,尊者摩訶迦葉歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(九〇七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本:如來的正法不會被地界所破壞,也不會被水、火、風界所破壞,乃至當惡劣的眾生出現於世,他們喜歡做各種惡事、想要做各種惡事、最終成就各種惡事,他們會把不是佛法的說成是佛法,把佛法說成不是佛法,把不是戒律的說成是戒律,把戒律說成不是戒律,用一些相似的道理,言辭華麗,這樣一來,如來的正法就會因此而衰落。 迦葉!有五種因緣會導致如來的正法衰落。是哪五種呢?如果比丘對於自己的導師,不尊敬、不重視、不謙卑地供養;對於自己的導師,不尊敬、不重視、不謙卑地供養之後,還依然依賴他而住。對於佛法、對於學問、對於隨順教誨、對於各種清凈的行為,這些導師所讚歎的,他們也不尊敬、不重視、不謙卑地供養,卻依然依賴這些而住。迦葉!這就是五種因緣,會導致如來的正法因此而衰落。 迦葉!有五種因緣能使如來的佛法和戒律不衰落、不遺忘、不退轉。是哪五種呢?如果比丘對於自己的導師,恭敬、尊重、謙卑地供養,並依止他而住;對於佛法、對於學問、對於隨順教誨、對於各種清凈的行為,這些導師所讚歎的,他們也恭敬、尊重、謙卑地供養,並依止這些而住。迦葉!這就是五種因緣,能使如來的佛法和戒律不衰落、不遺忘、不退轉。所以,迦葉!應當這樣學習:『對於自己的導師,應當修習恭敬、尊重、謙卑地供養,並依止他而住;對於佛法、對於學問、對於隨順教誨、對於各種清凈的行為,這些導師所讚歎的,應當恭敬、尊重、謙卑地供養,並依止這些而住。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者摩訶迦葉歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (九〇七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

English version: The Tathagata's true Dharma is not destroyed by the earth element, nor by the water, fire, or wind elements. However, when evil beings appear in the world, delighting in evil deeds, desiring evil deeds, and accomplishing evil deeds, they will declare what is not Dharma to be Dharma, and what is Dharma to be not Dharma; what is not discipline to be discipline, and what is discipline to be not discipline. With similar teachings, their words will be fiery and alluring, and the Tathagata's true Dharma will then decline. 'Kasyapa, there are five causes and conditions that can lead to the decline of the Tathagata's true Dharma. What are these five? If a bhikkhu does not respect, honor, or humbly offer to his teacher; having not respected, honored, or humbly offered to his teacher, he still relies on him to dwell. If the Dharma, the learning, the teachings, and the pure conduct that the teacher praises are not respected, honored, or humbly offered to, yet they still rely on them to dwell. Kasyapa, these are the five causes and conditions that lead to the decline of the Tathagata's true Dharma. 'Kasyapa, there are five causes and conditions that prevent the Tathagata's Dharma and discipline from declining, being forgotten, or regressing. What are these five? If a bhikkhu respects, honors, and humbly offers to his teacher, and relies on him to dwell; if the Dharma, the learning, the teachings, and the pure conduct that the teacher praises are respected, honored, and humbly offered to, and they rely on them to dwell. Kasyapa, these are the five causes and conditions that prevent the Tathagata's Dharma and discipline from declining, being forgotten, or regressing. Therefore, Kasyapa, you should learn thus: 'Towards your teacher, you should cultivate respect, honor, and humble offerings, and rely on him to dwell; towards the Dharma, the learning, the teachings, and the pure conduct that the teacher praises, you should respect, honor, and humbly offer, and rely on them to dwell.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Venerable Mahakasyapa rejoiced and praised, bowed, and departed. (907) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.


時,有遮羅周羅那羅聚落主來詣佛所,面前問訊慰勞,問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!我聞古昔歌舞戲笑耆年宿士作如是說:『若伎兒于大眾中歌舞戲笑,作種種伎,令彼大眾歡樂喜笑,以是業緣,身壞命終,生歡喜天。』於此,瞿曇法中所說云何?」

佛告聚落主:「且止!莫問此義。」如是再三,猶請不已。

佛告聚落主:「我今問汝,隨汝意答。古昔此聚落眾生不離貪慾、貪慾縛所縛,不離瞋恚、瞋恚縛所縛,不離愚癡、愚癡縛所縛。彼諸伎兒于大眾坐中,種種歌舞伎樂嬉戲,令彼眾人歡樂喜笑。聚落主!當其彼人歡樂喜笑者,豈不增長貪、恚、癡縛耶?」

聚落主白佛言:「如是,瞿曇!」

「聚落主!譬如有人以繩反縛,有人長夜以噁心欲令此人非義饒益,不安不樂,數數以水澆所縛繩,此人被縛豈不轉增急耶?」

聚落主言:「如是,瞿曇!」

佛言:「聚落主!古昔眾生亦復如是,不離貪慾、瞋恚、癡縛,緣彼嬉戲歡樂喜笑,更增其縛。」

聚落主言:「實爾,瞿曇!彼諸伎兒令其眾生歡樂喜笑,轉增貪慾、瞋恚、癡縛

現代漢語譯本:當時,遮羅周羅那羅聚落的首領來到佛陀所在的地方,在佛陀面前問候致意,慰問之後,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇啊!我聽聞古代那些歌舞戲謔的老年人這樣說:『如果藝人在大眾之中歌舞戲謔,表演各種技藝,使大眾歡喜快樂,憑藉這樣的業緣,身死命終后,會轉生到歡喜天。』關於這一點,瞿曇您的教法中是如何說的呢?』 佛陀告訴聚落首領:『先別問這個問題。』這樣說了三次,聚落首領仍然請求不停。 佛陀告訴聚落首領:『我現在問你,你根據自己的想法回答。古代這個聚落的眾生,沒有脫離貪慾,被貪慾的束縛所捆綁;沒有脫離嗔恚,被嗔恚的束縛所捆綁;沒有脫離愚癡,被愚癡的束縛所捆綁。那些藝人在大眾之中,表演各種歌舞伎樂嬉戲,使眾人歡喜快樂。聚落首領!當那些人歡喜快樂的時候,難道不是增長了貪、嗔、癡的束縛嗎?』 聚落首領對佛陀說:『是的,瞿曇!』 『聚落首領!譬如有人用繩子反綁著,有人長久以來用惡意想要讓這個人遭受不義的損害,不得安寧快樂,多次用水澆濕捆綁的繩子,這個人被捆綁難道不是更加緊了嗎?』 聚落首領說:『是的,瞿曇!』 佛陀說:『聚落首領!古代的眾生也是這樣,沒有脫離貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡的束縛,因為那些嬉戲而歡喜快樂,反而更加增加了他們的束縛。』 聚落首領說:『確實如此,瞿曇!那些藝人使眾生歡喜快樂,反而增加了貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡的束縛。』

English version: At that time, the head of the Celacurānara settlement came to where the Buddha was, greeted him respectfully, and after exchanging pleasantries, sat down to one side and said to the Buddha: 'Gautama! I have heard the old, experienced people of the past who engaged in singing, dancing, and jesting say this: 『If performers sing, dance, and jest among the crowd, performing various skills, making the crowd happy and joyful, by this karmic connection, after their body breaks and life ends, they will be reborn in the Joyful Heaven.』 Regarding this, what is said in Gautama's teachings?' The Buddha said to the head of the settlement: 'Stop! Do not ask about this matter.' He said this three times, but the head of the settlement still kept asking. The Buddha said to the head of the settlement: 'Now I will ask you, answer according to your own understanding. In ancient times, the beings of this settlement were not free from greed, bound by the fetters of greed; not free from anger, bound by the fetters of anger; not free from delusion, bound by the fetters of delusion. Those performers, among the crowd, perform various singing, dancing, music, and jesting, making the crowd happy and joyful. Head of the settlement! When those people are happy and joyful, isn't it increasing the fetters of greed, anger, and delusion?' The head of the settlement said to the Buddha: 'Yes, Gautama!' 'Head of the settlement! It is like someone being bound with ropes in reverse, and someone, for a long time, with malicious intent, wants to cause this person unjust harm, making them uneasy and unhappy, repeatedly wetting the ropes that bind them. Wouldn't this person's bonds become tighter?' The head of the settlement said: 'Yes, Gautama!' The Buddha said: 'Head of the settlement! The beings of ancient times were also like this, not free from the fetters of greed, anger, and delusion. Because of those amusements, they are happy and joyful, but it further increases their fetters.' The head of the settlement said: 'Indeed, Gautama! Those performers make beings happy and joyful, but it increases the fetters of greed, anger, and delusion.'


。以是因緣,身壞命終,生善趣者,無有是處!」

佛告聚落主:「若言古昔伎兒能令大眾歡樂喜笑,以是業緣,生歡喜天者,是則邪見!若邪見者,應生二趣,若地獄趣、若畜生趣。」

說是語時,遮羅周羅那羅聚落主悲泣流淚!

爾時,世尊告聚落主:「是故我先三問不答,言聚落主:『且止!莫問此義。』」

聚落主白佛言:「瞿曇!我不以瞿曇說故而悲泣也。我自念,昔來云何為彼愚癡不辨不善諸伎兒輩所見欺誑,言大眾中作諸伎樂,乃至生歡喜天。我今定思:『云何伎兒歌舞嬉戲生歡喜天?』瞿曇!我從今日,舍彼伎兒惡不善業,歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧。」

佛言:「善哉!聚落主!此真實要。」

爾時,遮羅周羅那羅聚落主聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,頂禮佛足,歡喜而去。

(九〇八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,戰鬥活聚落主來詣佛所,恭敬問訊,問訊已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!我聞古昔戰鬥活耆年宿士作是言:『若戰鬥活,身被重鎧,手執利器,將士先鋒,堪能方便摧伏怨敵,緣此業報,生箭降伏天。』于瞿曇法中,其義云何?」

佛告戰鬥活:「且止!莫問此義

現代漢語譯本:'因為這樣的因緣,身壞命終后,還能生到善趣,這是不可能的!' 佛陀告訴聚落主:'如果說古代的藝人能讓大眾歡樂喜笑,憑藉這樣的業緣,就能生到歡喜天,這是邪見!如果持有邪見,應當會生到兩種惡趣,要麼是地獄趣,要麼是畜生趣。' 當佛陀說這些話時,遮羅周羅那羅聚落主悲傷地哭泣起來! 這時,世尊告訴聚落主:'所以,我先前三次不回答你的問題,說聚落主:『先別問這個問題。』' 聚落主對佛陀說:'瞿曇!我不是因為瞿曇您說的話而悲傷哭泣。我只是想到,過去我怎麼會被那些愚癡、不辨善惡的藝人所欺騙,他們說在大眾中表演各種技藝,就能生到歡喜天。我現在仔細思考:『藝人怎麼可能通過歌舞嬉戲而生到歡喜天呢?』瞿曇!我從今天起,捨棄那些藝人的惡不善業,皈依佛、皈依法、皈依比丘僧。' 佛陀說:'很好!聚落主!這才是真實的要義。' 當時,遮羅周羅那羅聚落主聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,頂禮佛足,歡喜地離開了。 (九〇八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,戰鬥活聚落主來到佛陀所在的地方,恭敬地問候,問候完畢后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:'瞿曇!我聽古代的戰鬥活耆年宿老說:『如果戰鬥活,身穿重甲,手持利器,作為將士先鋒,能夠方便地摧伏敵人,憑藉這樣的業報,就能生到箭降伏天。』在瞿曇您的教法中,這個說法是什麼意思呢?' 佛陀告訴戰鬥活:'先別問這個問題!'

English version: 'Because of such a cause, after the body breaks and life ends, there is no possibility of being born in a good realm!' The Buddha told the village chief, 'If it is said that ancient performers can bring joy and laughter to the masses, and by this karmic connection, they can be born in the Joyful Heaven, this is a wrong view! If one holds a wrong view, one should be born in two evil realms, either the hell realm or the animal realm.' When the Buddha spoke these words, the village chief of Chara-Chula-Nara wept with sorrow! At that time, the World Honored One told the village chief, 'Therefore, I did not answer your question three times earlier, saying, village chief, 『Stop! Do not ask about this meaning.』' The village chief said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! I am not weeping because of what you have said. I am thinking about how I have been deceived by those foolish and ignorant performers who cannot distinguish between good and evil, who say that by performing various arts in the assembly, one can be born in the Joyful Heaven. Now I am thinking carefully: 『How can performers be born in the Joyful Heaven through singing, dancing, and playing?』 Gautama! From today onwards, I will abandon the evil and unwholesome deeds of those performers, and take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha of monks.' The Buddha said, 'Excellent! Village chief! This is the true essence.' At that time, the village chief of Chara-Chula-Nara, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and left with joy. (908) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the village chief of Combat-Living came to where the Buddha was, respectfully greeted him, and after greeting him, sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! I have heard the ancient elders of Combat-Living say: 『If a combat-living person, wearing heavy armor, holding sharp weapons, as the vanguard of the army, is able to skillfully subdue the enemy, by this karmic reward, they will be born in the Arrow-Subduing Heaven.』 In Gautama's teachings, what is the meaning of this?' The Buddha told Combat-Living, 'Stop! Do not ask about this meaning!'


。」

如是再三問,亦再三止之,猶問不已。

佛告聚落主:「我今問汝,隨汝意答。聚落主!于意云何?若戰鬥活,身被甲冑,為戰士先鋒,堪能方便摧伏怨敵,此人豈不先起傷害之心,欲攝縛枷鎖,斫刺殺害於彼耶?」

聚落主白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告聚落主:「為戰鬥活,有三種惡邪,若身若口若意;以此三種惡邪因緣,身壞命終,得生善趣箭降伏天者,無有是處。」

佛告聚落主:「若古昔戰鬥活耆年宿士,作如是見、作如是說,若諸戰鬥活,身被甲冑,手執利器,命敵先登,堪能方便摧伏怨敵,以是因緣,生箭降伏天者,是則邪見。邪見之人,應生二處,若地獄趣、若畜生趣。」

說是語時,彼聚落主悲泣流淚!

佛告聚落主:「以是義故,我先再三語汝:『且止!不為汝說。』」

聚落主白佛言:「我不以瞿曇語故悲泣,我念古昔諸鬥戰活耆年宿士愚癡,不善不辨,長夜,欺誑作如是言:『若戰鬥活,身被甲冑,手執利器,命敵先登,乃至得生箭降伏天。』是故悲泣。我今定思:『諸戰鬥活,惡業因緣,身壞命終,生箭降伏天者,無有是處。』瞿曇!我從今日,舍諸惡業,歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧。」

佛告聚落主:「此真實要

如此再三詢問,也再三阻止他,但他仍然不停地問。 佛陀告訴聚落主:『我現在問你,你隨意回答。聚落主!你認為如何?如果爲了戰鬥而活,身上穿著盔甲,作為戰士的先鋒,能夠方便地擊敗敵人,這個人難道不是先起了傷害之心,想要捆綁、枷鎖、砍殺他們嗎?』 聚落主回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴聚落主:『爲了戰鬥而活,有三種邪惡的行為,無論是身體、口頭還是意念;因為這三種邪惡的行為,身死命終后,能夠投生到善趣的箭降伏天,這是不可能的。』 佛陀告訴聚落主:『如果古代爲了戰鬥而活的老年人,持有這樣的見解、說出這樣的話,認為那些爲了戰鬥而活的人,身上穿著盔甲,手持利器,衝鋒在前,能夠方便地擊敗敵人,因此就能投生到箭降伏天,這是邪見。持有邪見的人,應該投生到兩個地方,要麼是地獄,要麼是畜生道。』 當佛陀說這些話時,那位聚落主悲傷地哭泣流淚! 佛陀告訴聚落主:『因為這個原因,我先前再三告訴你:『先停下!我不為你說了。』 聚落主對佛陀說:『我不是因為瞿曇的話而悲傷哭泣,我想到古代那些爲了戰鬥而活的老年人愚癡,不善於分辨,長久以來,欺騙地說:『如果爲了戰鬥而活,身上穿著盔甲,手持利器,衝鋒在前,甚至能夠投生到箭降伏天。』因此我才悲傷哭泣。我現在確定地認為:『那些爲了戰鬥而活的人,因為惡業的緣故,身死命終后,能夠投生到箭降伏天,這是不可能的。』瞿曇!我從今天起,捨棄一切惡業,皈依佛、皈依法、皈依比丘僧。』 佛陀告訴聚落主:『這是真實的要義。

He asked again and again, and was stopped again and again, yet he still kept asking. The Buddha said to the village chief, 'I will ask you now, answer as you please. Village chief! What do you think? If one lives for battle, wearing armor, as a vanguard of warriors, capable of easily defeating enemies, does this person not first harbor a desire to harm, wanting to bind, shackle, and kill them?' The village chief replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable One!' The Buddha said to the village chief, 'Living for battle involves three kinds of evil, whether in body, speech, or mind; because of these three kinds of evil, after death, one cannot be reborn in the good realm of the Arrow-Subduing Heaven.' The Buddha said to the village chief, 'If in ancient times, old and experienced people who lived for battle held such views and said such things, believing that those who live for battle, wearing armor, wielding sharp weapons, charging ahead, and capable of easily defeating enemies, could be reborn in the Arrow-Subduing Heaven, this is a wrong view. Those with wrong views should be reborn in two places, either in hell or as an animal.' As the Buddha spoke these words, the village chief wept with sorrow! The Buddha said to the village chief, 'For this reason, I told you again and again: 'Stop! I will not speak to you.' The village chief said to the Buddha, 'I am not weeping because of what you said, Gautama. I am thinking of the foolishness of the old and experienced people of ancient times who lived for battle, who were not good at discerning, and who for a long time, falsely said: 'If one lives for battle, wearing armor, wielding sharp weapons, charging ahead, one can even be reborn in the Arrow-Subduing Heaven.' That is why I am weeping. I now firmly believe: 'Those who live for battle, because of their evil deeds, cannot be reborn in the Arrow-Subduing Heaven after death.' Gautama! From today on, I will abandon all evil deeds and take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.' The Buddha said to the village chief, 'This is the true essence.'


。」

時,戰鬥活聚落主聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,即從坐起,作禮而去。

(九〇九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有調馬聚落主來詣佛所,恭敬問訊,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告調馬聚落主:「調伏馬者,有幾種法?」

聚落主答言:「瞿曇!有三種法。何等為三?謂一者柔軟,二者剛強,三者柔軟剛強。」

佛告聚落主:「若以三種法,馬猶不調,當如之何?」

聚落主言:「便當殺之?」

聚落主白佛言:「瞿曇!無上調御丈夫者,當以幾種法調御丈夫?」

佛告聚落主:「我亦以三法調御丈夫。何等為三?一者柔軟,二者剛強,三者柔軟剛強。」

聚落主白佛:「瞿曇!若三種調御丈夫,猶不調者,當如之何?」

佛言:「聚落主!三事調伏猶不調者,便當殺之。所以者何?莫令我法有所屈辱。」

調馬聚落主白佛言:「瞿曇法中,殺生者不凈,瞿曇法中不應殺,而今說言:『不調伏者,亦當殺之。』?」

佛告聚落主:「如汝所言:『如來法中,殺生者不凈,如來不應有殺。』聚落主!然我以三種法調御丈夫,彼不調者,不復與語,不復教授,不復教誡

當時,戰鬥活聚落的首領聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,隨即從座位起身,行禮后離去。 (九〇九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位名叫調馬的聚落首領來到佛陀處,恭敬地問候,然後退坐在一旁。 這時,世尊告訴調馬聚落首領:『調伏馬匹,有幾種方法?』 聚落首領回答說:『瞿曇!有三種方法。哪三種呢?第一是柔軟,第二是剛強,第三是柔軟與剛強並用。』 佛陀告訴聚落首領:『如果用這三種方法,馬匹仍然不被調伏,那該怎麼辦呢?』 聚落首領說:『那就應該殺掉它。』 聚落首領問佛陀說:『瞿曇!無上的調御丈夫,應該用幾種方法來調御丈夫呢?』 佛陀告訴聚落首領:『我也是用三種方法來調御丈夫。哪三種呢?第一是柔軟,第二是剛強,第三是柔軟與剛強並用。』 聚落首領問佛陀:『瞿曇!如果用這三種方法調御丈夫,仍然不被調伏,那該怎麼辦呢?』 佛陀說:『聚落首領!用這三種方法調伏仍然不被調伏的人,就應該捨棄他。為什麼呢?不要讓我的教法受到屈辱。』 調馬聚落首領對佛陀說:『瞿曇的教法中,殺生是不清凈的,瞿曇的教法中不應該殺生,而現在卻說:『不被調伏的人,也應該捨棄他。』?』 佛陀告訴聚落首領:『正如你所說:『如來的教法中,殺生是不清凈的,如來不應該殺生。』聚落首領!然而我用三種方法調御丈夫,那些不被調伏的人,我不再與他們交談,不再教導他們,不再告誡他們。

At that time, the head of the fighting-living settlement, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy. He then rose from his seat, paid his respects, and departed. (909) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, a settlement head named Taming-Horses came to the Buddha, respectfully greeted him, and sat down to one side. Then, the World-Honored One said to Taming-Horses settlement head, 'How many methods are there for taming horses?' The settlement head replied, 'Gautama! There are three methods. What are the three? The first is gentleness, the second is firmness, and the third is a combination of gentleness and firmness.' The Buddha said to the settlement head, 'If, using these three methods, a horse is still not tamed, what should be done?' The settlement head said, 'Then it should be killed.' The settlement head asked the Buddha, 'Gautama! How many methods should the supreme tamer of men use to tame men?' The Buddha said to the settlement head, 'I also use three methods to tame men. What are the three? The first is gentleness, the second is firmness, and the third is a combination of gentleness and firmness.' The settlement head asked the Buddha, 'Gautama! If, using these three methods to tame men, they are still not tamed, what should be done?' The Buddha said, 'Settlement head! If, after using these three methods, they are still not tamed, then they should be abandoned. Why? So that my teachings are not disgraced.' The Taming-Horses settlement head said to the Buddha, 'In Gautama's teachings, killing is impure, and in Gautama's teachings, one should not kill. Yet now you say, 'Those who are not tamed should also be abandoned.'?' The Buddha said to the settlement head, 'As you said, 'In the Tathagata's teachings, killing is impure, and the Tathagata should not kill.' Settlement head! However, I use three methods to tame men, and those who are not tamed, I no longer speak with them, no longer teach them, and no longer admonish them.'


。聚落主!若如來調御丈夫,不復與語,不復教授,不復教誡,豈非殺耶?」

調馬聚落主白佛言:「瞿曇!若調御丈夫不復與語,不復教授,不復教誡,真為殺也。是故我從今日,舍諸惡業,歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧。」

佛告聚落主:「此真實要。」

佛說此經已,調馬聚落主聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,即從坐起,作禮而去。

(九一〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有兇惡聚落主來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!不修何等法故,於他生瞋恚;生瞋恚故,口說惡言,他為其作惡性名字?」

佛告聚落主:「不修正見故,於他生瞋;生瞋恚已,口說惡言,他為其作惡性名字。不修正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定故,於他生瞋;生瞋恚故,口說惡言,他為其作惡性名字。」

復問:「世尊!修習何法,於他不瞋,不瞋恚故,口說善言,他為其作賢善名字?」

佛告聚落主:「修正見故,於他不瞋;不瞋恚故,口說善言,他為其作賢善名字。修習正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定故,於他不瞋;不瞋恚故,口說善言,他為其作賢善名字

現代漢語譯本:聚落主啊!如果如來調御丈夫,不再與他交談,不再教導,不再告誡,這難道不是殺害嗎?' 調馬聚落主對佛說:'瞿曇!如果調御丈夫不再與他交談,不再教導,不再告誡,那確實是殺害。因此,我從今天起,捨棄一切惡業,歸依佛、歸依法、歸依比丘僧。' 佛告訴聚落主:'這是真實的要義。' 佛說完這部經后,調馬聚落主聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,立即從座位上站起來,向佛作禮后離去。 (九一〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位兇惡的聚落主來到佛的住所,向佛的腳稽首,退坐在一旁,對佛說:'世尊!不修習什麼法,就會對他人生起嗔恨;生起嗔恨后,口說惡言,他人因此給他起惡劣的名號?' 佛告訴聚落主:'不修正見,就會對他人生起嗔恨;生起嗔恨后,口說惡言,他人因此給他起惡劣的名號。不修正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,就會對他人生起嗔恨;生起嗔恨后,口說惡言,他人因此給他起惡劣的名號。' 他又問:'世尊!修習什麼法,就不會對他人生起嗔恨;不生嗔恨后,口說善言,他人因此給他起賢善的名號?' 佛告訴聚落主:'修正見,就不會對他人生起嗔恨;不生嗔恨后,口說善言,他人因此給他起賢善的名號。修習正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,就不會對他人生起嗔恨;不生嗔恨后,口說善言,他人因此給他起賢善的名號。'

English version: 'Village head! If the Tathagata, the one who tames men, no longer speaks to him, no longer teaches him, no longer admonishes him, is that not killing?' The horse-taming village head said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! If the one who tames men no longer speaks to him, no longer teaches him, no longer admonishes him, that is indeed killing. Therefore, from this day forward, I will abandon all evil deeds and take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha of monks.' The Buddha told the village head, 'This is the true essence.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the horse-taming village head, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted. He immediately rose from his seat, paid homage to the Buddha, and departed. (910) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, a wicked village head came to the Buddha's dwelling, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable One! What kind of practice, when not cultivated, causes one to generate anger towards others; and having generated anger, to speak evil words, and others to give him a bad name?' The Buddha told the village head, 'Not cultivating right view causes one to generate anger towards others; and having generated anger, to speak evil words, and others to give him a bad name. Not cultivating right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration causes one to generate anger towards others; and having generated anger, to speak evil words, and others to give him a bad name.' He further asked, 'Venerable One! What kind of practice, when cultivated, causes one not to generate anger towards others; and not having generated anger, to speak good words, and others to give him a virtuous name?' The Buddha told the village head, 'Cultivating right view causes one not to generate anger towards others; and not having generated anger, to speak good words, and others to give him a virtuous name. Cultivating right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration causes one not to generate anger towards others; and not having generated anger, to speak good words, and others to give him a virtuous name.'


。」

兇惡聚落主白佛言:「奇哉!世尊!善說此言。我不修正見故,於他生瞋;生瞋恚已,口說惡言,他為我作惡性名字。我不修正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定故,於他生瞋;生瞋恚故,口說惡言,他為我作惡性名字。是故,我今當舍瞋恚、剛強、粗澀。」

佛告聚落主:「此真實要。」

佛說此經已,兇惡聚落主歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(九一一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有摩尼珠髻聚落主來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!先日國王集諸大臣,共論議言:『云何沙門釋子比丘自為受畜金銀寶物,為凈耶?為不凈耶?』其中有言:『沙門釋子應受畜金銀寶物。』又復有言:『不應自為受畜金銀寶物。』世尊!彼言沙門釋子應自為受畜金銀寶物者,為從佛聞?為自出意說?作是語者,為隨順法?為不隨順?為真實說?為虛妄說?如是說者,得不墮于呵責處耶?」

佛告聚落主:「此則妄說,非真實說、非是法說、非隨順說,墮呵責處。所以者何?沙門釋子自為受畜金銀寶物者,不清凈故;若自為己受畜金銀寶物者,非沙門法、非釋種子法

現代漢語譯本 兇惡聚落主對佛說:『真是奇妙啊,世尊!您說得真好。我因為沒有修正見,所以才會對他人產生嗔恨;產生嗔恨后,口中就會說出惡語,別人因此給我起了惡劣的名聲。我因為沒有修正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,所以才會對他人產生嗔恨;產生嗔恨后,口中就會說出惡語,別人因此給我起了惡劣的名聲。因此,我現在應當捨棄嗔恨、剛強和粗暴。』 佛告訴聚落主:『這才是真實的關鍵。』 佛說完這部經后,兇惡聚落主歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。

(九一一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位名叫摩尼珠髻的聚落主來到佛的住所,向佛行禮后,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!前些日子,國王召集各位大臣,共同討論說:『沙門釋子自己接受和儲藏金銀財寶,是清凈的嗎?還是不清凈的呢?』其中有人說:『沙門釋子應該接受和儲藏金銀財寶。』也有人說:『不應該自己接受和儲藏金銀財寶。』世尊!那些說沙門釋子應該自己接受和儲藏金銀財寶的人,是從佛那裡聽來的嗎?還是自己隨意說的?說這種話的人,是符合佛法的嗎?還是不符合佛法的?是真實的說嗎?還是虛妄的說?這樣說的人,不會受到責備嗎?』 佛告訴聚落主:『這都是妄說,不是真實的說,不是佛法的說法,不符合佛法,是會受到責備的。為什麼呢?沙門釋子自己接受和儲藏金銀財寶,是不清凈的;如果自己爲了自己接受和儲藏金銀財寶,就不是沙門的行為,也不是釋迦種子的行為。』

English version The wicked village chief said to the Buddha, 'How marvelous, O Blessed One! You have spoken well. Because I have not corrected my right view, I generate anger towards others; having generated anger, I speak evil words, and others give me a bad reputation. Because I have not corrected my right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration, I generate anger towards others; having generated anger, I speak evil words, and others give me a bad reputation. Therefore, I shall now abandon anger, stubbornness, and harshness.' The Buddha told the village chief, 'This is the real essence.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the wicked village chief rejoiced and was pleased, paid homage, and departed.

(911) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagriha. Then, a village chief named Mani-jewel-crest came to the Buddha, bowed down at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha, 'O Blessed One! Recently, the king gathered his ministers and discussed, saying: 'Is it pure or impure for the Shramana Shakya disciples to receive and store gold and silver treasures for themselves?' Some said, 'The Shramana Shakya disciples should receive and store gold and silver treasures.' Others said, 'They should not receive and store gold and silver treasures for themselves.' O Blessed One! Those who say that the Shramana Shakya disciples should receive and store gold and silver treasures for themselves, did they hear this from the Buddha? Or did they speak from their own ideas? Are those who speak in this way in accordance with the Dharma? Or not in accordance? Are they speaking truthfully? Or falsely? Will those who speak in this way not fall into a place of blame?' The Buddha told the village chief, 'This is false speech, not true speech, not Dharma speech, not in accordance with the Dharma, and it falls into a place of blame. Why is that? Because it is not pure for the Shramana Shakya disciples to receive and store gold and silver treasures for themselves; if they receive and store gold and silver treasures for themselves, it is not the practice of a Shramana, nor the practice of the Shakya lineage.'


。」

聚落主白佛言:「奇哉!世尊!沙門釋子受畜金銀寶物者,非沙門法、非釋種子法,此真實說!世尊!作是說者,增長勝妙,我亦作是說:『沙門釋子不應自為受畜金銀寶物。』」

佛告聚落主:「若沙門釋子自為受畜金銀珍寶清凈者,五欲功德悉應清凈!」

摩尼珠髻聚落主聞佛所說,歡喜作禮而去。

爾時,世尊知摩尼珠髻聚落主去已,告尊者阿難:「若諸比丘依止迦蘭陀竹園住者,悉呼令集於食堂。」

時,尊者阿難即受佛教,周遍宣令依止迦蘭陀竹園比丘集於食堂。比丘集已,往白世尊:「諸比丘已集食堂,惟世尊知時!」

爾時,世尊往詣食堂,大眾前坐,坐已,告諸比丘:「今日有摩尼珠髻聚落主來諒我所,作如是言:『先日國王集諸大臣,作如是論議:「沙門釋子自為受畜金銀寶物,為清凈不?」其中有言清凈者,有言不清凈者。今問世尊,言清凈者,為從佛聞?為自妄說?』……」如上廣說。「彼摩尼珠髻聚落主聞我所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

「諸比丘!國王、大臣共集論議,彼摩尼珠髻聚落主于大眾前師子吼說:『沙門釋種子不應自為受畜金銀寶物

現代漢語譯本 聚落主白佛說:『真是奇特啊,世尊!沙門釋子如果接受和儲藏金銀財寶,這不符合沙門的戒律,也不是釋迦種子的行為,這是真實不虛的!世尊!這樣說的人,會增長殊勝的功德,我也這樣認為:『沙門釋子不應該自己接受和儲藏金銀財寶。』 佛告訴聚落主:『如果沙門釋子自己接受和儲藏金銀珍寶是清凈的,那麼五欲的功德也應該都是清凈的!』 摩尼珠髻聚落主聽了佛所說的話,歡喜地行禮后離開了。 這時,世尊知道摩尼珠髻聚落主已經離開,就告訴尊者阿難:『如果住在迦蘭陀竹園的比丘,都叫他們到食堂集合。』 當時,尊者阿難接受了佛的教誨,周遍地通知住在迦蘭陀竹園的比丘到食堂集合。比丘們集合完畢后,去稟告世尊:『比丘們已經在食堂集合完畢,請世尊知曉時機!』 這時,世尊前往食堂,在大眾前坐下,坐好后,告訴眾比丘:『今天有摩尼珠髻聚落主來拜訪我,他這樣說:『前些日子國王召集各位大臣,討論說:「沙門釋子自己接受和儲藏金銀財寶,是清凈的嗎?」其中有人說清凈,有人說不清凈。現在問世尊,說清凈的人,是從佛那裡聽來的嗎?還是自己妄說的?』……』如上面所詳細說的。『那位摩尼珠髻聚落主聽了我的話,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離開了。』 『諸位比丘!國王、大臣共同集會討論,那位摩尼珠髻聚落主在大眾面前如獅子吼般地說:『沙門釋迦的弟子不應該自己接受和儲藏金銀財寶。』

English version The head of the village said to the Buddha, 'It is amazing, World Honored One! If a Shramana, a disciple of Shakya, accepts and stores gold, silver, and treasures, it is not in accordance with the Shramana's precepts, nor is it the conduct of the Shakya lineage. This is the truth! World Honored One! Those who say this will increase their superior merits. I also say this: 'A Shramana, a disciple of Shakya, should not accept and store gold, silver, and treasures for themselves.' The Buddha told the head of the village, 'If it is pure for a Shramana, a disciple of Shakya, to accept and store gold, silver, and precious jewels for themselves, then the merits of the five desires should all be pure!' Upon hearing what the Buddha said, the head of the village, Mani-jewel-crest, joyfully paid his respects and departed. At that time, the World Honored One, knowing that the head of the village, Mani-jewel-crest, had left, told Venerable Ananda, 'If there are any monks residing in the Karanda Bamboo Grove, summon them all to gather in the dining hall.' Then, Venerable Ananda received the Buddha's teaching and widely announced to the monks residing in the Karanda Bamboo Grove to gather in the dining hall. After the monks had gathered, they went to inform the World Honored One, 'The monks have gathered in the dining hall, may the World Honored One know the time!' At that time, the World Honored One went to the dining hall and sat down before the assembly. After sitting, he told the monks, 'Today, the head of the village, Mani-jewel-crest, came to visit me and said this: 'Some days ago, the king gathered his ministers and discussed, 「Is it pure for a Shramana, a disciple of Shakya, to accept and store gold, silver, and treasures for themselves?」 Among them, some said it was pure, and some said it was not pure. Now, I ask the World Honored One, those who say it is pure, did they hear it from the Buddha? Or are they speaking falsely on their own?'...』 as described in detail above. 『That head of the village, Mani-jewel-crest, upon hearing what I said, rejoiced and paid his respects before leaving.』 'Monks! The king and ministers gathered together to discuss, and that head of the village, Mani-jewel-crest, roared like a lion before the assembly, saying: 'A disciple of Shakya, a Shramana, should not accept and store gold, silver, and treasures for themselves.'


。』諸比丘!汝等從今日,須木索木、須草索草、須車索車、須作人索作人,慎勿為己受取金銀種種寶物!」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九一二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住瞻婆國揭伽池側。時,有王頂聚落主來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告王頂聚落主:「今者眾生依於二邊。何等為二?一者樂著卑下、田舍、常人凡夫五欲。二者自苦方便,不正、非義饒益。聚落主!有三種樂受欲樂,卑下、田舍、常人凡夫;有三種自苦方便,不正、非義饒益。

「聚落主!何等為三種卑下、田舍、常人凡夫樂受欲樂?有受欲者,非法濫取,不以安樂自供,不供養父母、給足兄弟、妻子、奴婢、眷屬、朋友、知識,亦不隨時供養沙門、婆羅門、仰求勝處安樂果報、未來生天,是名世間第一受欲。

「複次,聚落主!受欲樂者,以法、非法濫取財物,以樂自供,供養父母,給足、兄弟、妻子、奴婢、眷屬、朋友、知識,而不隨時供養沙門、婆羅門、仰求勝處安樂果報、未來生天,是名第二受欲樂者

現代漢語譯本:『諸位比丘!從今天起,你們需要木材就去尋找木材,需要草就去尋找草,需要車就去尋找車,需要勞作的人就去尋找勞作的人,切記不要爲了自己接受金銀等各種寶物!』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (九一二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在瞻婆國揭伽池邊。當時,有一位名叫王頂的聚落首領來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。 這時,世尊告訴王頂聚落首領:『現在的眾生依附於兩種極端。哪兩種呢?一種是貪戀卑賤、鄉野、普通凡夫的五種慾望。另一種是自我折磨,採取不正當、不符合道義的修行方式。聚落首領!有三種享樂是屬於慾望之樂,卑賤、鄉野、普通凡夫所追求的;也有三種自我折磨的方式,是不正當、不符合道義的。』 『聚落首領!哪三種是卑賤、鄉野、普通凡夫所追求的享樂呢?有些人享受慾望,通過非法手段獲取財物,不用於自己安樂,不供養父母、不滿足兄弟、妻子、奴婢、親屬、朋友、熟人的需求,也不按時供養沙門、婆羅門,不期望獲得更好的安樂果報,不期望未來能昇天,這被稱為世間第一種享受慾望的方式。 『其次,聚落首領!享受慾望的人,通過合法或非法手段獲取財物,用於自己享樂,供養父母,滿足兄弟、妻子、奴婢、親屬、朋友、熟人的需求,但不按時供養沙門、婆羅門,不期望獲得更好的安樂果報,不期望未來能昇天,這被稱為第二種享受慾望的方式。

English version: 'Monks! From this day forward, if you need wood, seek wood; if you need grass, seek grass; if you need a cart, seek a cart; if you need someone to work, seek someone to work. Be careful not to accept gold, silver, or any other valuables for yourselves!' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (912) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling near the Gaggara Pond in the country of Champa. Then, a headman of a village named King-Top came to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. At that time, the Blessed One said to the headman of King-Top village: 'Now, beings are attached to two extremes. What are the two? One is the attachment to the base, rustic, common, worldly pleasures of the five senses. The other is the practice of self-mortification, which is improper and not beneficial. Headman! There are three kinds of pleasure that are the pleasures of desire, base, rustic, and common for ordinary people; and there are three kinds of self-mortification that are improper and not beneficial.' 'Headman! What are the three kinds of base, rustic, common, worldly pleasures of desire? Some who indulge in desires, acquire wealth through unlawful means, do not use it for their own comfort, do not support their parents, provide for their brothers, wives, servants, relatives, friends, and acquaintances, nor do they offer timely gifts to ascetics and Brahmins, seeking a better place of happiness as a result, or future rebirth in heaven. This is called the first way of indulging in desires in the world.' 'Furthermore, Headman! Those who indulge in desires, acquire wealth through lawful or unlawful means, use it for their own pleasure, support their parents, provide for their brothers, wives, servants, relatives, friends, and acquaintances, but do not offer timely gifts to ascetics and Brahmins, seeking a better place of happiness as a result, or future rebirth in heaven. This is called the second way of indulging in desires.'


「複次,聚落主!有受欲樂者,以法求財,不以濫取,以樂自供,供養父母,給足兄弟、妻子、奴婢、眷屬、知識,隨時供養沙門、婆羅門,仰求勝處安樂果報,未來生天,是名第三受欲樂者。

「聚落主!我不一向說受欲平等,我說受欲者其人卑下,我說受欲者是其中人,我說受欲者是其勝人。

This is called the second way of self-mortification that leads to a withered life.』

English version: 'Furthermore, living a withered life through self-mortification, not initially violating precepts or defiling them, but practicing various ascetic practices, also cannot in the present life be free from the burning of defilements, attain transcendent states, superior wisdom, and a peaceful dwelling. This is called the third way of living a withered life through self-mortification.' 'Village head! I do not say that all ways of living a withered life through self-mortification are the same. I say that some ways of self-mortification are for inferior people, some are for intermediate people, and some are for superior people.' 'What kind of self-mortification is for inferior people? If one practices self-mortification, initially violating precepts and defiling them, and does not attain superior wisdom and a peaceful dwelling, this is what I call self-mortification for inferior people.'

Because of the hindrance of greed, one may desire to harm oneself, or desire to harm others, or desire to harm both, and in this life and the next, one will receive the karmic consequences of this evil, and the mind will be filled with sorrow and suffering. Hindered by hatred and delusion, one may desire to harm oneself, or desire to harm others, or desire to harm both, and in this life and the next, one will receive the karmic consequences of this evil, and the mind will be filled with sorrow and suffering.'

當其世尊說是法時,王頂聚落主遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。時,王頂聚落主見法、得法、知法、深入於法,度疑不由於他,于正法、律得無所畏。即從坐起,整衣服,合掌白佛:「我今已度。世尊!歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧,從今盡壽為優婆塞。」

時,聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(九一三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在力士人間遊行,到郁鞞羅住處鸚鵡閻浮林。

時,有竭曇聚落主聞沙門瞿曇在力士人間遊行,至郁鞞羅聚落鸚鵡閻浮林,說現法苦集、苦沒。我當往詣彼沙門瞿曇,若我詣沙門瞿曇者,彼必為我說現法苦集、苦沒。即往彼郁鞞羅聚落,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我聞世尊常為人說現法苦集、苦沒。善哉!世尊!為我說現法苦集、苦沒

現代漢語譯本:如果遠離貪慾的障礙,不希望以方便之法傷害自己、傷害他人、或同時傷害自己和他人,那麼就不會在今生或來世遭受這樣的罪報;他的心和心法會常常感受到喜悅和快樂。同樣地,如果遠離嗔恚和愚癡的障礙,不希望傷害自己、傷害他人、或同時傷害自己和他人,那麼就不會在今生或來世遭受這樣的罪報;他的心和心法會常常感受到安樂。在今生,他遠離了煩惱的熾熱,無需等待時日,就能接近涅槃,並且能在此身中通過自身的體驗而覺知。聚落主啊!像這樣在今生永遠遠離熾熱,無需等待時日,就能接近涅槃,並且能在此身中通過自身的體驗而覺知的人,是遵循八聖道——正見乃至正定的人。 當世尊宣說此法時,王頂聚落主遠離了塵垢,獲得了法眼清凈。當時,王頂聚落主見到了法、獲得了法、理解了法、深入了法,消除了疑惑,不再依賴他人,在正法和戒律中獲得了無所畏懼。他立即從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,合掌向佛陀說道:『我已經得度了。世尊!我皈依佛、皈依法、皈依比丘僧,從今往後直到生命結束都將作為優婆塞。』 當時,聽到佛陀所說,他歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (九一三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀在力士人間游化,到達郁鞞羅的鸚鵡閻浮林住處。 當時,有竭曇聚落主聽說沙門瞿曇在力士人間游化,到達郁鞞羅聚落的鸚鵡閻浮林,宣說今生苦的生起和苦的滅盡。我應當去拜訪那位沙門瞿曇,如果我拜訪沙門瞿曇,他一定會為我宣說今生苦的生起和苦的滅盡。於是,他前往郁鞞羅聚落,來到世尊所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我聽說世尊常常為人宣說今生苦的生起和苦的滅盡。善哉!世尊!請為我宣說今生苦的生起和苦的滅盡。』

English version: If one is free from the hindrance of greed, not desiring to harm oneself, harm others, or harm both oneself and others through expedient means, one will not suffer such karmic retribution in this life or the next; their mind and mental states will constantly experience joy and happiness. Similarly, if one is free from the hindrances of anger and ignorance, not desiring to harm oneself, harm others, or harm both oneself and others, one will not suffer such karmic retribution in this life or the next; their mind and mental states will constantly experience peace and happiness. In this very life, they are free from the burning of afflictions, without waiting for a specific time, they approach Nirvana, and they realize it through their own experience in this very body. Village chief! Such a person who in this very life is forever free from the burning of afflictions, without waiting for a specific time, approaches Nirvana, and realizes it through their own experience in this very body, is one who follows the Noble Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration. When the World Honored One was teaching this Dharma, the village chief of Wangding was freed from defilements and obtained the pure Dharma eye. At that time, the village chief of Wangding saw the Dharma, obtained the Dharma, understood the Dharma, and deeply entered the Dharma, eliminating doubts, no longer relying on others, and gaining fearlessness in the true Dharma and discipline. He immediately rose from his seat, adjusted his robes, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'I have already been liberated. World Honored One! I take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, and from now until the end of my life, I will be a lay disciple.' At that time, hearing what the Buddha had said, he rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed, and departed. (913) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the land of the Mallas, and arrived at the Parrot Jamboo Grove in Uruvela. At that time, the village chief of Khedama heard that the Shramana Gautama was traveling in the land of the Mallas, and had arrived at the Parrot Jamboo Grove in the village of Uruvela, teaching about the arising and cessation of suffering in this very life. 'I should go visit that Shramana Gautama, and if I visit Shramana Gautama, he will surely teach me about the arising and cessation of suffering in this very life.' So, he went to the village of Uruvela, came to where the World Honored One was, bowed at his feet, and sat to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I have heard that the World Honored One often teaches people about the arising and cessation of suffering in this very life. Excellent! World Honored One! Please teach me about the arising and cessation of suffering in this very life.'


。」

佛告聚落主:「我若說過去法苦集、苦沒者,知汝于彼為信、為不信,為欲、不欲,爲念、不念,為樂、不樂,汝今苦不?我若說未來苦集、苦沒者,知汝于彼為信、不信,為欲、不欲,爲念、不念,為樂、不樂,汝今苦不?我今於此說現法苦集、苦沒,聚落主!若眾生所有苦生,彼一切皆以欲為本,欲生、欲集、欲起、欲因、欲緣而苦生。」

聚落主白佛言:「世尊!極略說法,不廣分別,我所不解。善哉!世尊!唯愿廣說,令我等解。」

佛告聚落主:「我今問汝,隨汝意說,聚落主!于意云何?若眾生於此郁鞞羅聚落住者,是若縛、若打、若責、若殺,汝心當起憂、悲、惱、苦不?」

聚落主白佛言:「世尊!亦不一向。若諸眾生於此郁鞞羅聚落住者,於我有欲、有貪、有愛、有念、相習近者,彼遭若縛、若打、若責、若殺,我則生憂、悲、惱、苦。若彼眾生所無慾、貪、愛、念、相習近者,彼遭縛、打、責、殺,我何為橫生憂、悲、惱、苦?」

佛告聚落主:「是故當知,眾生種種苦生,彼一切皆以欲為本,欲生、欲習、欲起、欲因、欲緣而生眾苦

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴聚落主:『如果我說過去法的苦集和苦滅,我知道你對那些是相信還是不相信,是想要還是不想要,是憶念還是不憶念,是樂意還是不樂意。你現在感到痛苦嗎?如果我說未來苦集和苦滅,我知道你對那些是相信還是不相信,是想要還是不想要,是憶念還是不憶念,是樂意還是不樂意。你現在感到痛苦嗎?我現在在這裡說現在法的苦集和苦滅。聚落主!如果眾生有任何痛苦產生,那一切都以慾望為根本,慾望產生、慾望聚集、慾望興起、慾望為因、慾望為緣而產生痛苦。』 聚落主對佛陀說:『世尊!您說得太簡略了,沒有詳細分別,我無法理解。太好了!世尊!希望您能詳細解說,讓我們能夠理解。』 佛陀告訴聚落主:『我現在問你,隨你的意思說。聚落主!你認為如何?如果眾生住在這個郁鞞羅聚落,他們如果被捆綁、毆打、責罵或殺害,你的心中會產生憂愁、悲傷、惱怒和痛苦嗎?』 聚落主對佛陀說:『世尊!也不完全是這樣。如果住在這個郁鞞羅聚落的眾生,對我來說有慾望、有貪婪、有愛戀、有思念、有親近關係,他們如果遭到捆綁、毆打、責罵或殺害,我就會產生憂愁、悲傷、惱怒和痛苦。如果那些眾生對我沒有慾望、貪婪、愛戀、思念、親近關係,他們遭到捆綁、毆打、責罵或殺害,我為什麼要無緣無故地產生憂愁、悲傷、惱怒和痛苦呢?』 佛陀告訴聚落主:『因此應當知道,眾生種種痛苦的產生,那一切都以慾望為根本,慾望產生、慾望習性、慾望興起、慾望為因、慾望為緣而產生種種痛苦。』

English version The Buddha said to the village chief, 'If I were to speak of the arising and cessation of suffering in the past, I would know whether you believe or disbelieve, desire or do not desire, remember or do not remember, are pleased or displeased. Are you suffering now? If I were to speak of the arising and cessation of suffering in the future, I would know whether you believe or disbelieve, desire or do not desire, remember or do not remember, are pleased or displeased. Are you suffering now? I am now speaking here of the arising and cessation of suffering in the present. Village chief! If any suffering arises in beings, all of it is rooted in desire. Suffering arises from desire's birth, desire's accumulation, desire's arising, desire's cause, and desire's condition.' The village chief said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, you have spoken too briefly, without detailed explanation, and I do not understand. Excellent, Venerable Sir! I beseech you to explain in detail so that we may understand.' The Buddha said to the village chief, 'I will now ask you, speak as you see fit. Village chief! What do you think? If beings living in this Uruvela village were to be bound, beaten, scolded, or killed, would sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering arise in your heart?' The village chief said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, it is not always so. If those beings living in this Uruvela village have desire, greed, love, attachment, and close relations with me, then if they are bound, beaten, scolded, or killed, I will experience sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering. But if those beings have no desire, greed, love, attachment, or close relations with me, why should I needlessly experience sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering if they are bound, beaten, scolded, or killed?' The Buddha said to the village chief, 'Therefore, you should know that all the various sufferings that arise in beings are rooted in desire. All sufferings arise from desire's birth, desire's habit, desire's arising, desire's cause, and desire's condition.'


。聚落主!于意云何?汝依父母不相見者,則生欲、貪、愛、念不?」

聚落主言:「不也,世尊!」

「聚落主!于意云何?若見、若聞彼依父母,當起欲、愛、念不?」

聚落主言:「如是,世尊!」

復問:「聚落主!于意云何?彼依父母,若無常變異者,當起憂、悲、惱、苦不?」

聚落主言:「如是,世尊!若依父母無常變異者,我或鄰死,豈唯憂、悲、惱、苦?」

佛告聚落主:「是故當知,若諸眾生所有苦生,一切皆以愛慾為本,欲生、欲集、欲起、欲因、欲緣而生苦。」

聚落主言:「奇哉!世尊!善說如此依父母譬。我有依父母,居在異處,我日日遣信問其安否;使未時還,我以憂苦,況復無常,而無憂苦?」

佛告聚落主:「是故我說,其諸眾生所有憂苦,一切皆以欲為根本,欲生、欲集、欲起、欲因、欲緣而生憂苦。」

佛告聚落主:「若有四愛念無常變異者,則四憂苦生;若三、二,若一愛念無常變異者,則一憂苦生。聚落主!若都無愛念者,則無憂苦塵勞。」即說偈言:

「若無世間愛念者,  則無憂苦塵勞患,  一切憂苦消滅盡,  猶如蓮花不著水

現代漢語譯本:『聚落主啊!你認為如何?如果你依賴父母卻不能相見,會產生慾望、貪婪、愛戀和思念嗎?』 聚落主回答說:『不會的,世尊!』 『聚落主啊!你認為如何?如果看到或聽到你所依賴的父母,會產生慾望、愛戀和思念嗎?』 聚落主回答說:『是的,世尊!』 佛又問:『聚落主啊!你認為如何?如果所依賴的父母出現無常變化,你會產生憂愁、悲傷、煩惱和痛苦嗎?』 聚落主回答說:『是的,世尊!如果所依賴的父母出現無常變化,我恐怕會接近死亡,豈止是憂愁、悲傷、煩惱和痛苦呢?』 佛告訴聚落主:『因此應當知道,一切眾生所產生的痛苦,都以愛慾為根本,由慾望產生、聚集、興起、作為原因和條件而產生痛苦。』 聚落主說:『真是奇妙啊,世尊!您說這個依賴父母的比喻真是太好了。我也有所依賴的父母,住在別的地方,我每天都派人送信去問候他們的安危;如果送信的人沒有按時回來,我就會感到憂愁和痛苦,更何況是父母出現無常變化,又怎麼會沒有憂愁和痛苦呢?』 佛告訴聚落主:『因此我說,一切眾生所產生的憂愁和痛苦,都以慾望為根本,由慾望產生、聚集、興起、作為原因和條件而產生憂愁和痛苦。』 佛告訴聚落主:『如果有四種愛戀的對象出現無常變化,就會產生四種憂愁和痛苦;如果有三種、兩種或一種愛戀的對象出現無常變化,就會產生一種憂愁和痛苦。聚落主啊!如果完全沒有愛戀的對象,就不會有憂愁、痛苦和煩惱。』佛陀隨即說了偈語: 『如果世間沒有愛戀,就不會有憂愁、痛苦和煩惱,一切憂愁和痛苦都會消滅殆盡,就像蓮花不沾染水一樣。』

English version: 'Village head! What do you think? If you rely on your parents but cannot see them, will desire, greed, love, and longing arise?' The village head replied, 'No, Venerable One!' 'Village head! What do you think? If you see or hear about those you rely on, your parents, will desire, love, and longing arise?' The village head replied, 'Yes, Venerable One!' The Buddha further asked, 'Village head! What do you think? If those you rely on, your parents, undergo impermanent changes, will you experience sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering?' The village head replied, 'Yes, Venerable One! If those I rely on, my parents, undergo impermanent changes, I might be near death, let alone just sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering?' The Buddha told the village head, 'Therefore, you should know that all the suffering that arises in sentient beings is rooted in craving and desire. Suffering arises from desire being born, gathered, arising, being the cause, and being the condition.' The village head said, 'It is amazing, Venerable One! You have explained this with such a good analogy of relying on parents. I also have parents I rely on, who live in another place. I send messengers every day to inquire about their well-being; if the messengers do not return on time, I feel worried and distressed. How much more so if my parents undergo impermanent changes, how could I not feel worried and distressed?' The Buddha told the village head, 'Therefore, I say that all the sorrow and suffering that arises in sentient beings is rooted in desire. Sorrow and suffering arise from desire being born, gathered, arising, being the cause, and being the condition.' The Buddha told the village head, 'If four objects of love and attachment undergo impermanent changes, then four kinds of sorrow and suffering will arise; if three, two, or one object of love and attachment undergo impermanent changes, then one kind of sorrow and suffering will arise. Village head! If there are no objects of love and attachment at all, then there will be no sorrow, suffering, or defilements.' Then the Buddha spoke a verse: 'If there is no love and attachment in the world, then there will be no sorrow, suffering, or defilements. All sorrow and suffering will be completely extinguished, just like a lotus flower does not cling to water.'

當其世尊說是法時,揭曇聚落主遠塵離垢,得法眼凈,見法得法,深入於法,度諸狐疑不由於他、不由他度,于正法、律得無所畏。從坐起,整衣服,合掌白佛:「已度。世尊!我以超越。我從今日,歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧,盡其壽命為優婆塞,唯憶持我!」

佛說此經已,揭曇聚落主聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(九一四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在摩竭提國人間遊行,與千二百五十比丘、千優婆塞、五百乞殘食人,從城至城,從聚落至聚落,人間遊行,至那羅聚落好衣庵羅園中。

時,有刀師氏聚落主是尼揵弟子,詣尼揵所,禮尼揵足,退坐一面

現代漢語譯本:當世尊宣講佛法時,揭曇聚落的首領遠離塵垢,獲得了法眼清凈,見到了真理,領悟了真理,深入了真理,擺脫了一切疑惑,不再依賴他人,也不需要他人引導,在正法和戒律中獲得了無所畏懼的境界。他從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,合掌向佛陀說道:『我已經得度了,世尊!我已超越了。從今天起,我皈依佛、皈依法、皈依僧團,終其一生作為優婆塞,請您記住我!』 佛陀說完這部經后,揭曇聚落的首領聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (九一四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀在摩竭提國游化人間,與一千二百五十位比丘、一千位優婆塞、五百位乞食者同行,從一座城市到另一座城市,從一個村落到另一個村落,游化人間,來到了那羅聚落的好衣庵羅園中。 當時,有一位刀師氏聚落的首領,是尼犍的弟子,他前往尼犍那裡,向尼犍行禮,然後退坐在一旁。

English version: When the World Honored One was expounding the Dharma, the head of the Getham village was freed from defilement and obtained the pure Dharma eye. He saw the Dharma, attained the Dharma, and deeply penetrated the Dharma. He was liberated from all doubts, not relying on others, nor needing others to guide him. He gained fearlessness in the true Dharma and precepts. He rose from his seat, adjusted his robes, and with palms together, said to the Buddha, 'I have been liberated, World Honored One! I have transcended. From this day forward, I take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. For the rest of my life, I will be a lay disciple. Please remember me!' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the head of the Getham village, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised it. He then bowed and departed. (914) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the Magadha country, accompanied by twelve hundred and fifty monks, one thousand lay disciples, and five hundred beggars. They traveled from city to city, from village to village, wandering in the human realm, until they arrived at the Good Clothes Amra Garden in the Narala village. At that time, there was a head of the Knife Maker clan village, who was a disciple of the Niganta. He went to the Niganta, bowed at his feet, and then sat down to one side.


爾時,尼揵語刀師氏聚落主:「汝能共沙門瞿曇作蒺䔧論,令沙門瞿曇不得語、不得不語耶?」

聚落主言:「阿梨!我立何等論為蒺䔧論,令沙門瞿曇不得語、不得不語?」

尼揵語聚落主言:「汝往詣沙門瞿曇所,作是問:『瞿曇常愿欲令諸家福利具足增長,作如是愿、如是說不?』若答汝言不者,汝當問言:『沙門瞿曇與凡愚夫有何等異?』若言有愿有說者,當復問言:『沙門瞿曇若有如是愿、如是說者,今云何于饑饉世,遊行人間,將諸大眾千二百五十比丘、千優婆塞、五百乞殘食人,從城至城,從村至村,損費世間,如大雨雹雨已,乃是減損,非增益也。瞿曇所說,殊不相應,不類不似,前後相違。』如是。聚落主!是名蒺䔧論,令彼沙門瞿曇不得語、不得不語。」

爾時,刀師氏聚落主受尼揵勸教已,詣佛所恭敬問訊,恭敬問訊已,退坐一面,白佛:「瞿曇常欲愿令諸家福利增長不?」

佛告聚落主:「如來長夜欲令諸家福利增長,亦常作是說。」

聚落主言:「若如是者,云何瞿曇于饑饉世人間乞食,將諸大眾……」,乃至「不似不類,前後相違?」

佛告聚落主:「我憶九十一劫以來,不見一人施一比丘,有盡有減

現代漢語譯本: 當時,尼犍派的刀師氏聚落首領對他說:『你能夠和沙門瞿曇進行一種棘手的辯論,使得沙門瞿曇既不能說話,也不能不說話嗎?』 聚落首領說:『阿梨!我應該提出什麼樣的辯論才能成為棘手的辯論,使得沙門瞿曇既不能說話,也不能不說話呢?』 尼犍派的聚落首領說:『你到沙門瞿曇那裡去,這樣問他:『瞿曇是否經常希望所有家庭的福祉都圓滿增長,並這樣希望、這樣說呢?』如果他回答你說不是,你就問他:『沙門瞿曇和凡夫俗子有什麼不同?』如果他說有這樣的希望和說法,你就再問他:『沙門瞿曇如果有這樣的希望和說法,那麼現在為什麼在饑荒的世道,在人間,帶領著一千二百五十個比丘、一千個優婆塞、五百個乞討殘羹剩飯的人,從一個城市到另一個城市,從一個村莊到另一個村莊,耗費世間的資源,就像大雨過後,只會減少而不會增加。瞿曇所說的,非常不相符,不像不類,前後矛盾。』這樣,聚落首領!這就叫做棘手的辯論,能讓那個沙門瞿曇既不能說話,也不能不說話。』 當時,刀師氏聚落首領接受了尼犍派的勸告后,就去到佛陀那裡,恭敬地問候,問候完畢后,退坐在一旁,問佛陀:『瞿曇是否經常希望所有家庭的福祉都增長呢?』 佛陀告訴聚落首領:『如來一直以來都希望所有家庭的福祉增長,也經常這樣說。』 聚落首領說:『如果這樣的話,那麼為什麼瞿曇在饑荒的世道人間乞食,帶領著大眾……』,乃至『不像不類,前後矛盾?』 佛陀告訴聚落首領:『我記得九十一劫以來,沒有見過一個人佈施給一個比丘,會有耗盡或減少的。』

English version: At that time, the head of the Nigantha's Toshi clan settlement said: 'Can you engage in a thorny debate with the Shramana Gautama, so that the Shramana Gautama can neither speak nor not speak?' The head of the settlement said: 'Arya! What kind of debate should I propose to make it a thorny debate, so that the Shramana Gautama can neither speak nor not speak?' The head of the Nigantha settlement said: 'Go to the Shramana Gautama and ask him this: 'Does Gautama always wish for the welfare of all families to be fully increased, and does he wish and say so?' If he answers you no, then ask him: 'What is the difference between the Shramana Gautama and ordinary people?' If he says that he has such a wish and statement, then ask him again: 'If the Shramana Gautama has such a wish and statement, then why now, in a time of famine, in the human world, does he lead twelve hundred and fifty monks, one thousand lay followers, and five hundred people begging for leftovers, from city to city, from village to village, wasting the resources of the world, just like after a heavy rain, it only decreases and does not increase. What Gautama says is very inconsistent, unlike, and contradictory.' Thus, head of the settlement! This is called a thorny debate, which will make that Shramana Gautama neither able to speak nor not speak.' At that time, the head of the Toshi clan settlement, having received the advice of the Niganthas, went to the Buddha, respectfully greeted him, and after greeting him, sat down to one side and asked the Buddha: 'Does Gautama always wish for the welfare of all families to increase?' The Buddha told the head of the settlement: 'The Tathagata has always wished for the welfare of all families to increase, and has always said so.' The head of the settlement said: 'If that is the case, then why does Gautama beg for food in the human world during a famine, leading the masses...', and so on, 'unlike, inconsistent, and contradictory?' The Buddha told the head of the settlement: 'I remember that in the past ninety-one kalpas, I have not seen a single person who, by giving to a monk, has had their resources depleted or reduced.'


。聚落主!汝觀今日有人家大富,多錢財、多眷屬、多僕從,當知其家長夜好施,真實寂止,故致斯福利。聚落主!有八因緣,令人損減福利不增。何等為八?王所逼、賊所劫、火所焚、水所漂、藏自消減、抵債不還、怨憎殘破、惡子費用,有是八種為錢財難聚。聚落主!我說無常為第九句。如是,聚落主!汝舍九因九緣,而言沙門瞿曇破壞他家,不捨惡言、不捨惡見,如鐵槍投水,身壞命終,生地獄中。」

時,刀師氏聚落主心生恐怖,身毛皆豎,白佛言:「世尊!我今悔過!如愚如癡,不善不辯,于瞿曇所不實欺誑,虛說妄語。」

聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起去。

(九一五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住那羅聚落好衣庵羅園中。

時,有刀師氏聚落主,先是尼揵弟子,詣尼揵所,禮尼揵足,退坐一面

現代漢語譯本:聚落主啊!你看看今天有些人家非常富有,擁有很多錢財、很多眷屬、很多僕從,你應該知道這是因為他們的家長長期以來樂善好施,內心真正平靜,所以才得到這樣的福報。聚落主啊!有八種因緣,會使人損失福報而不能增長。是哪八種呢?被國王逼迫、被盜賊搶劫、被火燒燬、被水沖走、自己儲藏的財物逐漸減少、抵債后無法償還、被怨恨的人破壞、被不孝的兒子揮霍,這八種原因導致錢財難以積聚。聚落主啊!我說無常是第九種原因。像這樣,聚落主啊!你捨棄這九種原因,卻說沙門瞿曇破壞他人的家庭,不放棄惡言、不放棄惡見,就像鐵槍投進水中一樣,身壞命終后,會墮入地獄之中。」 當時,刀師氏聚落主心中感到恐懼,渾身汗毛都豎了起來,他向佛陀說道:『世尊!我現在懺悔!我像個愚人一樣,愚癡無知,不善於分辨是非,對瞿曇說了不真實的謊言,說了虛妄的話。』 聽了佛陀所說的話,他歡喜地隨喜,從座位上起身離開了。 (九一五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在納羅聚落的好衣庵羅園中。 當時,有一位刀師氏聚落主,他之前是尼犍的弟子,他來到尼犍那裡,禮拜尼犍的腳,然後退到一旁坐下。

English version: 'Village head! Observe that today some families are very wealthy, possessing much money, many relatives, and many servants. You should know that this is because their family heads have long been generous, truly peaceful, and thus have attained such blessings. Village head! There are eight causes that lead to the loss of blessings and prevent their increase. What are these eight? Being oppressed by the king, robbed by thieves, burned by fire, swept away by water, the gradual depletion of one's own stored wealth, failure to repay debts, destruction by resentful enemies, and squandering by wicked sons. These eight causes make it difficult to accumulate wealth. Village head! I say that impermanence is the ninth cause. Thus, village head! You abandon these nine causes and yet say that the Shramana Gautama destroys other people's families, does not abandon evil speech, and does not abandon evil views. Like an iron spear thrown into water, after the body is destroyed and life ends, one will be born in hell.' At that time, the village head of the knife-maker clan felt fear in his heart, and his body hair stood on end. He said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! I now repent! Like a fool, I was ignorant and unwise, not good at distinguishing right from wrong. I spoke untruthful lies and false words about Gautama.' Having heard what the Buddha said, he rejoiced and followed with joy, and rose from his seat and departed. (915) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Good Clothes Amra Garden in the village of Narala. At that time, there was a village head of the knife-maker clan, who was previously a disciple of the Nirgranthas. He went to the Nirgranthas, bowed at their feet, and sat down to one side.


爾時,尼揵語聚落主:「汝能共沙門瞿曇作蒺䔧論,令沙門瞿曇不得語、不得不語?」

聚落主白尼揵:「阿梨!何等為蒺䔧論,令沙門瞿曇不得語、不得不語耶?」

尼揵語聚落主:「汝往沙門瞿曇所,作如是言:『瞿曇不常欲安慰一切眾生、讚歎安慰一切眾生耶?』若言不者,應語言:『瞿曇與凡愚夫有何等異?』若言常欲安慰一切眾生,讚歎安慰一切眾生者,復應問言:『若欲安慰一切眾生者,以何等故,或為一種人說法?或不為一種人說法?』作如是問者,是名蒺䔧論,令彼沙門瞿曇不得語、不得不語。」

爾時,聚落主受尼揵勸進已,往詣佛所,恭敬問訊已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇豈不欲常安慰一切眾生,嘆說安慰一切眾生?」

佛告聚落主:「如來長夜慈愍安慰一切眾生,亦常嘆說安慰一切眾生。」

聚落主白佛言:「若然者,如來何故為一種人說法?又復不為一種人說法?」

佛告聚落主:「我今問汝,隨意答我。聚落主!譬如有三種田,有一種田沃壤肥澤,第二田中,第三田[塉-月+目]薄,云何?聚落主!彼田主先於何田耕治下種?」

聚落主言:「瞿曇!于最沃壤肥澤者,先耕下種

現代漢語譯本 當時,尼犍的聚落首領說:『你能夠和沙門瞿曇進行詰難辯論,使得沙門瞿曇既不能說話,又不能不說話嗎?』 聚落首領問尼犍:『阿梨!什麼是詰難辯論,能使沙門瞿曇既不能說話,又不能不說話呢?』 尼犍對聚落首領說:『你到沙門瞿曇那裡,這樣問他:『瞿曇不是常常想要安慰一切眾生,讚歎安慰一切眾生嗎?』如果他說不是,你就應該說:『瞿曇和凡夫俗子有什麼不同?』如果他說常常想要安慰一切眾生,讚歎安慰一切眾生,就應該再問:『如果想要安慰一切眾生,為什麼有時為一種人說法,有時又不為一種人說法?』這樣問,就叫做詰難辯論,能使沙門瞿曇既不能說話,又不能不說話。』 當時,聚落首領接受了尼犍的勸說后,就去拜訪佛陀,恭敬地問候后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇不是常常想要安慰一切眾生,讚歎安慰一切眾生嗎?』 佛陀告訴聚落首領:『如來長久以來慈悲憐憫安慰一切眾生,也常常讚歎安慰一切眾生。』 聚落首領對佛陀說:『如果這樣,如來為什麼為一種人說法,又不為另一種人說法呢?』 佛陀告訴聚落首領:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。聚落首領!譬如有三種田地,一種田地肥沃,第二種田地一般,第三種田地貧瘠,怎麼樣?聚落首領!那個田地的主人會先在哪種田地耕種播種呢?』 聚落首領說:『瞿曇!會在最肥沃的田地先耕種播種。』

English version At that time, the leader of the Nigantha settlement said: 'Can you engage in a challenging debate with the Shramana Gautama, so that the Shramana Gautama can neither speak nor not speak?' The settlement leader asked the Nigantha: 'Arya! What is a challenging debate that can make the Shramana Gautama neither speak nor not speak?' The Nigantha said to the settlement leader: 'Go to the Shramana Gautama and ask him this: 'Gautama, do you not always want to comfort all beings and praise the comfort of all beings?' If he says no, you should say: 'What is the difference between Gautama and ordinary people?' If he says he always wants to comfort all beings and praise the comfort of all beings, then you should ask again: 'If you want to comfort all beings, why do you sometimes preach to one kind of person and sometimes not preach to another kind of person?' Asking in this way is called a challenging debate, which can make that Shramana Gautama neither speak nor not speak.' At that time, the settlement leader, having accepted the Nigantha's advice, went to visit the Buddha, respectfully greeted him, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'Gautama, do you not always want to comfort all beings and praise the comfort of all beings?' The Buddha told the settlement leader: 'The Tathagata has long been compassionate and comforting to all beings, and also often praises the comfort of all beings.' The settlement leader said to the Buddha: 'If that is so, why does the Tathagata preach to one kind of person and not preach to another kind of person?' The Buddha told the settlement leader: 'I will ask you now, answer me as you wish. Settlement leader! Suppose there are three kinds of fields, one kind of field is fertile, the second kind of field is average, and the third kind of field is barren, what do you think? Settlement leader! Which field would the owner of the field cultivate and sow first?' The settlement leader said: 'Gautama! He would cultivate and sow in the most fertile field first.'

「聚落主!復於何田次耕下種?」

聚落主言:「瞿曇!當於中田次耕下種。」

佛告聚落主:「復於何田次耕下種?」

聚落主言:「當於最下[塉-月+目]薄之田,次耕下種。」

佛告聚落主:「何故如是?」

聚落主言:「不欲廢田存種而已。」

佛告聚落主:「我亦如是,如彼沃壤肥澤田者,我諸比丘、比丘尼亦復如是。我常為彼演說正法,初、中、后善,善義善味,純一滿凈,梵行清白,開示顯現。彼聞法已,依於我舍、我洲、我覆、我蔭、我趣,常以凈眼,觀我而住,作如是念:『佛所說法,我悉受持,令我長夜以義饒益,安隱樂住。』

「聚落主!如彼中田者,我弟子優婆塞、優婆夷亦復如是。我亦為彼演說正法,初、中、后善,善義善味,純一滿凈,梵行清白,開發顯示。彼聞法已,依於我舍、我洲、我覆、我蔭、我趣,常以凈眼,觀察我住,作如是念:『世尊說法,我悉受持,令我長夜以義饒益,安隱樂住。』

現代漢語譯本 『村長!接下來要在哪塊田地耕種播種呢?』 村長說:『瞿曇!應當在中間的田地耕種播種。』 佛陀告訴村長:『接下來又要在哪塊田地耕種播種呢?』 村長說:『應當在最下等貧瘠的田地,接著耕種播種。』 佛陀告訴村長:『為什麼這樣做呢?』 村長說:『不想荒廢田地,只保留種子而已。』 佛陀告訴村長:『我也是這樣,如同那些肥沃的良田,我的比丘、比丘尼也是如此。我常常為他們演說正法,開頭、中間、結尾都善,意義美好,味道純正,圓滿清凈,梵行清白,開示顯現。他們聽聞佛法后,依靠我作為歸宿、依靠我作為洲渚、依靠我作為庇護、依靠我作為廕庇、依靠我作為依靠,常常用清凈的眼光看著我而安住,這樣想:『佛所說的法,我全部接受並奉行,使我長久以來都能從義理中獲得利益,安穩快樂地生活。』 『村長!如同那些中等的田地,我的弟子優婆塞、優婆夷也是如此。我也為他們演說正法,開頭、中間、結尾都善,意義美好,味道純正,圓滿清凈,梵行清白,開發顯示。他們聽聞佛法后,依靠我作為歸宿、依靠我作為洲渚、依靠我作為庇護、依靠我作為廕庇、依靠我作為依靠,常常用清凈的眼光觀察我而安住,這樣想:『世尊所說的法,我全部接受並奉行,使我長久以來都能從義理中獲得利益,安穩快樂地生活。』 『村長!如同那些田家最下等的田地,我為那些外道異學尼犍子等人,也為他們說法,開頭、中間、結尾都善,意義美好,味道純正,圓滿清凈,梵行清白,開示顯現,然而對於他們中少聽聞佛法的人,也為他們說法,多聽聞佛法的人,也為他們說法。』

English version 'Village head! In which field will you next plow and sow?' The village head said, 'Gautama! We should plow and sow in the middle field next.' The Buddha asked the village head, 'In which field will you next plow and sow?' The village head said, 'We should next plow and sow in the lowest, most barren field.' The Buddha asked the village head, 'Why is that so?' The village head said, 'I don't want to waste the field, just keep the seeds.' The Buddha told the village head, 'I am the same. Like those fertile and rich fields, my monks and nuns are also like that. I often preach the Dharma to them, which is good in the beginning, middle, and end, with good meaning and good taste, pure and complete, with pure conduct, revealing and showing. After hearing the Dharma, they rely on me as their refuge, their island, their shelter, their shade, their support, and they always look at me with pure eyes and dwell, thinking: 「All the Dharma that the Buddha has spoken, I will accept and uphold, so that I may benefit from the meaning for a long time, and live in peace and happiness.」' 'Village head! Like those middle fields, my disciples, the laymen and laywomen, are also like that. I also preach the Dharma to them, which is good in the beginning, middle, and end, with good meaning and good taste, pure and complete, with pure conduct, developing and showing. After hearing the Dharma, they rely on me as their refuge, their island, their shelter, their shade, their support, and they always observe me with pure eyes and dwell, thinking: 「All the Dharma that the World Honored One has spoken, I will accept and uphold, so that I may benefit from the meaning for a long time, and live in peace and happiness.」' 'Village head! Like the lowest fields of the farmers, I also preach the Dharma to those non-Buddhist ascetics and the like, which is good in the beginning, middle, and end, with good meaning and good taste, pure and complete, with pure conduct, revealing and showing. However, for those who have heard little of the Dharma among them, I also preach to them, and for those who have heard much of the Dharma, I also preach to them.'


。然其彼眾於我善說法中,得一句法,知其義者,亦復長夜以義饒益,安隱樂住。」

時,聚落主白佛:「甚奇!世尊!善說如是三種田譬。」

佛告聚落主:「汝聽我更說譬類。譬如士夫有三水器,不穿不壞,亦不津漏。第二器不穿不壞,而有津漏。第三器者,穿壞津漏。云何?聚落主!彼士夫三種器中,常持凈水著何等器中?」

聚落主言:「瞿曇!當以不穿不壞、不津漏者,先以盛水。」

佛告聚落主:「次復應以何器盛水?」

聚落主言:「瞿曇!當持彼器不穿不壞而津漏者,次以盛水。」

佛告聚落主:「彼器滿已,復以何器為后盛水?」

聚落主言:「以穿壞津漏之器最後盛水。所以者何?須臾之間,供小用故。」

佛告聚落主:「如彼士夫不穿不壞、不津漏器,諸弟子比丘、比丘尼亦復如是。我常為彼演說正法,乃至長夜以義饒益,安隱樂住。如第二器不穿不壞而津漏者,我諸弟子優婆塞、優婆夷亦復如是。我常為彼演說正法,乃至長夜以義饒益,安隱樂住,如第三器穿壞津漏者,外道異學諸尼揵輩亦復如是。我亦為彼演說正法,初、中、后善,善義善味,純一滿凈,梵行清白,開示顯現。多亦為說,少亦為說

現代漢語譯本:『然而,他們這些人,在我善說的法中,即使只得到一句法,並理解它的含義,也能在漫長的夜晚里因這含義而獲得饒益,安穩快樂地生活。』 當時,聚落主對佛說:『真是太奇妙了!世尊!您善於講述這三種田地的譬喻。』 佛告訴聚落主:『你聽我再說一個譬喻。譬如有一個人有三個水器,第一個水器不破損,也不滲漏;第二個水器不破損,但有滲漏;第三個水器則破損滲漏。你說,聚落主!這個人在這三種水器中,通常會用哪個水器來裝乾淨的水呢?』 聚落主說:『瞿曇!應當先用那個不破損、不滲漏的水器來裝水。』 佛告訴聚落主:『那麼,接下來應該用哪個水器來裝水呢?』 聚落主說:『瞿曇!應當用那個不破損但有滲漏的水器來接著裝水。』 佛告訴聚落主:『那個水器裝滿后,再用哪個水器來最後裝水呢?』 聚落主說:『用那個破損滲漏的水器最後裝水。這是為什麼呢?因為它只能在短暫的時間內,提供少量的使用。』 佛告訴聚落主:『就像那個人不破損、不滲漏的水器一樣,我的弟子比丘、比丘尼也是如此。我常常為他們演說正法,乃至在漫長的夜晚里因這含義而獲得饒益,安穩快樂地生活。就像第二個不破損但有滲漏的水器一樣,我的弟子優婆塞、優婆夷也是如此。我常常為他們演說正法,乃至在漫長的夜晚里因這含義而獲得饒益,安穩快樂地生活。就像第三個破損滲漏的水器一樣,外道異學,那些尼犍子們也是如此。我也為他們演說正法,初善、中善、后善,意義美好,滋味美好,純一圓滿清凈,梵行清白,開示顯現。多也為他們說,少也為他們說。』

English version: 'However, those people, in my well-spoken Dharma, even if they obtain just one phrase of the Dharma and understand its meaning, will also benefit from that meaning throughout the long night, and live peacefully and happily.' At that time, the village chief said to the Buddha, 'How marvelous! World Honored One! You are skilled in explaining these three parables of the fields.' The Buddha told the village chief, 'Listen to me as I tell another parable. Suppose a man has three water containers. The first container is not broken and does not leak; the second container is not broken but leaks; and the third container is broken and leaks. Now, village chief, among these three containers, which container would that man usually use to hold clean water?' The village chief said, 'Gautama! He should first use the container that is not broken and does not leak to hold water.' The Buddha told the village chief, 'Then, which container should he use to hold water next?' The village chief said, 'Gautama! He should use the container that is not broken but leaks to hold water next.' The Buddha told the village chief, 'After that container is full, which container should he use to hold water last?' The village chief said, 'He should use the container that is broken and leaks to hold water last. Why is that? Because it can only provide a small amount of use for a short time.' The Buddha told the village chief, 'Just like that man's container that is not broken and does not leak, so are my disciples, the monks and nuns. I often expound the true Dharma for them, and they benefit from its meaning throughout the long night, living peacefully and happily. Just like the second container that is not broken but leaks, so are my disciples, the laymen and laywomen. I often expound the true Dharma for them, and they benefit from its meaning throughout the long night, living peacefully and happily. Just like the third container that is broken and leaks, so are the non-Buddhist heretics, those Nirgranthas. I also expound the true Dharma for them, which is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with good meaning and good taste, pure, complete, and clear, with pure conduct. I reveal and make it manifest. I speak much for them, and I speak little for them.'


。彼若於我說一句法,知其義者,亦得長夜安隱樂住。」

時,刀師氏聚落主聞佛所說,心大恐怖,身毛皆豎,前禮佛足悔過:「世尊!如愚如癡,不善不辯,於世尊所不諦真實,虛偽妄說!」

聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,禮足而去。

(九一六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住那羅聚落好衣庵羅園中。

時,有刀師氏聚落主,尼揵弟子,來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告聚落主:「欲何所論?尼揵若提子為何所說?」

聚落主言:「彼尼揵若提子說:『殺生者,一切皆墮泥犁中,以多行故,則將至彼;如是盜、邪淫、妄語皆墮泥犁中,以多行故,則將至彼。』」

佛告聚落主:「若如尼犍若提子說殺生者墮泥犁中,以多行故,而往生彼者,則無有眾生墮泥犁中。聚落主!于意云何?何等眾生於一切時有心殺生?復於何時有心不殺生,乃至何時有心妄語,何時有心不妄語?」

聚落主白佛言:「世尊!人于晝夜,少時有心殺生,乃至少時有心妄語,而多時不有心殺生,乃至妄語。」

佛告聚落主:「若如是者,豈非無有人墮于泥犁中耶?如尼揵所說:『有人殺生者,一切墮泥犁中,多習行者將往生彼,乃至妄語亦復如是

現代漢語譯本:『如果他對我講一句法,理解其含義的人,也能長久地安穩快樂地住下去。』 當時,刀師氏聚落主聽到佛陀所說,心中非常恐懼,汗毛都豎了起來,上前禮拜佛足,懺悔說:『世尊!我真是愚癡無知,不善於分辨,在世尊面前說了不真實、虛偽妄語的話!』 聽了佛陀所說,他歡喜讚歎,禮拜佛足后離開了。 (九一六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在納羅聚落的好衣庵羅園中。 當時,有一位刀師氏聚落主,是尼犍的弟子,來到佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足后,退坐在一旁。 這時,世尊告訴聚落主:『你想要討論什麼?尼犍若提子說了些什麼?』 聚落主說:『那尼犍若提子說:『殺生的人,全部都會墮入地獄,因為多次造作這種行為,就會被帶到那裡;同樣,偷盜、邪淫、妄語的人也都會墮入地獄,因為多次造作這種行為,就會被帶到那裡。』 佛陀告訴聚落主:『如果像尼犍若提子所說,殺生的人墮入地獄,因為多次造作這種行為,而往生到那裡,那麼就沒有眾生會墮入地獄了。聚落主!你認為如何?什麼樣的眾生在所有時間都有殺生的念頭?又在什麼時候沒有殺生的念頭,乃至什麼時候有妄語的念頭,什麼時候沒有妄語的念頭?』 聚落主對佛陀說:『世尊!人們在白天和夜晚,只有少部分時間有殺生的念頭,乃至只有少部分時間有妄語的念頭,而大部分時間沒有殺生的念頭,乃至沒有妄語的念頭。』 佛陀告訴聚落主:『如果這樣的話,難道不是沒有人會墮入地獄嗎?就像尼犍所說:『有人殺生,全部都會墮入地獄,多次習行這種行為的人會被帶到那裡,乃至妄語也是如此。』

English version: 'If he were to speak a single Dharma phrase to me, those who understand its meaning could also dwell in peace and happiness for a long time.' At that time, the head of the knife-maker's village, upon hearing what the Buddha said, was greatly terrified, his hair stood on end. He stepped forward, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and repented, saying, 'World Honored One! I am foolish and ignorant, unskilled in discernment. I have spoken untruthful and false words before the World Honored One!' Having heard what the Buddha said, he rejoiced and followed along, bowed at the feet, and departed. (916) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Good Clothes Amra Garden in the Narala village. At that time, there was a head of the knife-maker's village, a disciple of the Niganta, who came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the feet, and sat down to one side. Then, the World Honored One said to the village head, 'What do you wish to discuss? What has Niganta Nataputta said?' The village head said, 'That Niganta Nataputta says: 'Those who kill living beings, all will fall into hell. Because they repeatedly engage in such actions, they will be taken there. Likewise, those who steal, engage in sexual misconduct, and lie will all fall into hell. Because they repeatedly engage in such actions, they will be taken there.' The Buddha said to the village head, 'If it were as Niganta Nataputta says, that those who kill living beings fall into hell because they repeatedly engage in such actions and are reborn there, then no sentient beings would fall into hell. Village head! What do you think? What kind of sentient beings have the intention to kill at all times? And when do they not have the intention to kill, and even when do they have the intention to lie, and when do they not have the intention to lie?' The village head said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! People during the day and night, only for a short time have the intention to kill, and even only for a short time have the intention to lie, while most of the time they do not have the intention to kill, and even do not have the intention to lie.' The Buddha said to the village head, 'If that is so, then wouldn't it be that no one would fall into hell? As Niganta says: 'Those who kill living beings, all will fall into hell. Those who repeatedly practice such actions will be taken there, and so it is with lying as well.'


。』聚落主!彼大師出興於世,覺想籌量,入覺想地住。于凡夫地自辯所說,隨意籌量,為諸弟子作如是說法,言殺生者,一切皆墮泥犁中,多習行將往生彼,乃至妄語亦復如是。彼諸弟子若信其說,言:『我大師知其所知,見其所見,能為弟子作如是說:「若殺生者,一切皆墮泥犁中,多習行故,將往生彼。」我本有心殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語,當墮泥犁中。』得如是見,乃至不捨此見,不厭彼業,不覺彼悔,于未來世,不捨殺生,乃至不捨妄語,彼意解脫不滿足,慧解脫亦不滿足。意解脫不滿足、慧解脫不滿足故,則為謗聖邪見;邪見因緣故,身壞命終,生惡趣泥犁中。如是,聚落主!有因、有緣眾生煩惱,有因、有緣眾生業煩惱。

「聚落主!如來、應、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊出興於世,常為眾生呵責殺生,讚歎不殺;呵責偷盜、邪淫、妄語,讚歎不盜、不淫、不妄語。常以此法,化諸聲聞,令念、樂、信、重,言:『我大師知其所知,見其所見,呵責殺生,讚歎不殺,乃至呵責妄語,讚歎不妄語,我從昔來,以愚癡無慧,有心殺生,我緣是故,今自悔責

現代漢語譯本:『聚落主!那位大師出現在世間,他進行思考和衡量,並安住于思考和衡量之地。在凡夫的層次上,他為自己所說的話辯解,隨意地進行衡量,併爲他的弟子們這樣說法,說殺生的人,都會墮入地獄之中,如果經常這樣做,就會往生到那裡,乃至妄語也是如此。他的那些弟子如果相信他的說法,就會說:『我的大師知道他所知道的,看到他所看到的,能夠為弟子們這樣說:「如果殺生,都會墮入地獄之中,如果經常這樣做,就會往生到那裡。」我本來有殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語的心,應當會墮入地獄之中。』他們得到這樣的見解,乃至不捨棄這種見解,不厭惡那些行為,不感到後悔,在未來世,不捨棄殺生,乃至不捨棄妄語,他們的意解脫不圓滿,慧解脫也不圓滿。因為意解脫不圓滿、慧解脫不圓滿,就成了誹謗聖者的邪見;因為邪見的緣故,身壞命終,會生到惡趣地獄之中。如此,聚落主!有因、有緣導致眾生煩惱,有因、有緣導致眾生業的煩惱。 『聚落主!如來、應供、正等覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊出現在世間,經常為眾生呵責殺生,讚歎不殺;呵責偷盜、邪淫、妄語,讚歎不盜、不淫、不妄語。經常用這種方法,教化他的聲聞弟子,讓他們憶念、喜愛、相信、重視,說:『我的大師知道他所知道的,看到他所看到的,呵責殺生,讚歎不殺,乃至呵責妄語,讚歎不妄語,我從前以來,因為愚癡沒有智慧,有殺生的心,我因為這個緣故,現在自己悔恨責備。』

English version: 'Village head! That master appears in the world, he contemplates and measures, and dwells in the place of contemplation and measurement. On the level of ordinary people, he defends what he says, measures at will, and speaks to his disciples in this way, saying that those who kill will all fall into hell, and if they do it often, they will be reborn there, and so it is with lying. If his disciples believe what he says, they will say: 「My master knows what he knows, sees what he sees, and can say to his disciples: 『If you kill, you will all fall into hell, and if you do it often, you will be reborn there.』 I originally had the intention to kill, steal, commit sexual misconduct, and lie, and I should fall into hell.」 They obtain such a view, and until they abandon this view, do not detest those actions, and do not feel remorse, in the future they will not abandon killing, and will not abandon lying, their liberation of mind is not complete, and their liberation of wisdom is not complete. Because the liberation of mind is not complete and the liberation of wisdom is not complete, it becomes a heretical view that slanders the saints; because of the cause of heretical views, when the body breaks and life ends, they will be born in the evil realm of hell. Thus, village head! There are causes and conditions that lead to the afflictions of sentient beings, and there are causes and conditions that lead to the afflictions of the karma of sentient beings.' 'Village head! The Tathagata, the worthy one, the fully enlightened one, perfect in knowledge and conduct, the well-gone one, the knower of the world, the unsurpassed one, the tamer of men, the teacher of gods and humans, the Buddha, the World Honored One, appears in the world, and often for sentient beings, he rebukes killing and praises not killing; he rebukes stealing, sexual misconduct, and lying, and praises not stealing, not committing sexual misconduct, and not lying. He often uses this method to teach his disciples, making them remember, love, believe, and value, saying: 『My master knows what he knows, sees what he sees, rebukes killing, praises not killing, and even rebukes lying, and praises not lying. From the past, because of ignorance and lack of wisdom, I had the intention to kill, and because of this, I now regret and blame myself.』


。』雖不能令彼業不為,且因此悔責故,于未來世,得離殺生,乃至得離盜、淫、妄語,亦得滿足正意解脫,滿足慧解脫,意解脫、慧解脫滿足已,得不謗賢聖,正見成就;正見因緣故,得生善趣天上。如是,聚落主!有因、有緣眾生業煩惱清凈。

「聚落主!彼多聞聖弟子作如是學:『隨時晝夜觀察所起少有心殺生、多有心不殺生。』若於有心殺生,當自悔責,不是不類。若不有心殺生,無怨無憎,心生隨喜;隨喜已,歡喜生;歡喜已,心猗息;心猗息已,心受樂;受樂已,則心定。心定已,聖弟子心與慈俱,無怨無嫉,無有瞋恚,廣大無量,滿於一方,正受住;二方、三方,乃至四方、四維、上下、一切世間,心與慈俱,無怨無嫉,無有瞋恚,廣大無量,善修習,充滿諸方,具足正受住。」

爾時,世尊以爪甲抄少土,語刀師氏聚落主言:「云何?聚落主!我爪甲土多?大地為多?」

聚落主白佛言:「世尊!爪甲土少少耳,大地土無量無數。」

佛告聚落主:「如甲上之土甚少,大地之土其數無量。如是心與慈俱,修習多修習,諸有量業者,如甲上土,不能將去,不能令住。如是偷盜對以悲心,邪淫對以喜心,妄語對以舍心,不得為比

現代漢語譯本:'雖然不能阻止他們不造惡業,但因為這樣的懺悔和責備,在未來的生命中,他們能夠遠離殺生,乃至遠離偷盜、邪淫、妄語,也能滿足正確的意解脫,滿足智慧的解脫。當意解脫和智慧解脫都圓滿時,他們就不會誹謗賢聖,正見也會成就;因為正見的因緣,他們能夠投生到善趣的天上。像這樣,聚落主!有因有緣,眾生的業和煩惱才能得到清凈。' 現代漢語譯本:'聚落主!那些多聞的聖弟子會這樣學習:『隨時晝夜觀察自己所生起的殺生之心是少還是多。』如果生起了殺生之心,就應當自我懺悔和責備,這並非不合理。如果沒有生起殺生之心,沒有怨恨和憎恨,心中就生起隨喜;隨喜之後,就會生起歡喜;歡喜之後,心就會平靜;心平靜之後,就會感到快樂;感到快樂之後,心就會安定。心安定之後,聖弟子就會以慈悲之心,沒有怨恨和嫉妒,沒有嗔恚,廣大無量,充滿一方,安住于正受;二方、三方,乃至四方、四維、上下、一切世間,都以慈悲之心,沒有怨恨和嫉妒,沒有嗔恚,廣大無量,善加修習,充滿各個方向,具足正受而安住。' 現代漢語譯本:'這時,世尊用指甲挑起少許泥土,對刀師氏聚落主說:『怎麼樣?聚落主!我指甲上的泥土多呢?還是大地的泥土多呢?』 現代漢語譯本:'聚落主回答佛說:『世尊!指甲上的泥土非常少,大地的泥土無量無數。』 現代漢語譯本:'佛告訴聚落主:『就像指甲上的泥土非常少,大地的泥土數量無量一樣。像這樣,心與慈悲同在,修習並多次修習,那些有量的業,就像指甲上的泥土一樣,不能被帶走,也不能停留。像這樣,用悲心來對待偷盜,用喜心來對待邪淫,用舍心來對待妄語,是無法相比的。』

English version: 'Although they cannot prevent those actions from being done, because of this repentance and self-reproach, in future lives, they will be able to abstain from killing, and even abstain from stealing, sexual misconduct, and false speech. They will also fulfill the correct liberation of mind, and fulfill the liberation of wisdom. When both the liberation of mind and the liberation of wisdom are complete, they will not slander the noble ones, and right view will be accomplished. Because of the cause and condition of right view, they will be able to be reborn in the good realms of heaven. In this way, village head! There are causes and conditions for the purification of beings' karma and afflictions.' English version: 'Village head! Those well-learned noble disciples will learn in this way: 『Observe at all times, day and night, whether the arising of the intention to kill is little or much.』 If the intention to kill arises, one should repent and reproach oneself, which is not unreasonable. If the intention to kill does not arise, without resentment or hatred, joy arises in the heart; after joy, happiness arises; after happiness, the mind becomes tranquil; after the mind becomes tranquil, one feels pleasure; after feeling pleasure, the mind becomes concentrated. After the mind becomes concentrated, the noble disciple, with a heart filled with loving-kindness, without resentment or jealousy, without anger, vast and immeasurable, fills one direction, abiding in right concentration; two directions, three directions, and even four directions, the four intermediate directions, above, below, and the entire world, with a heart filled with loving-kindness, without resentment or jealousy, without anger, vast and immeasurable, well-practiced, filling all directions, abiding in right concentration.' English version: 'At that time, the World Honored One picked up a small amount of soil with his fingernail and said to the village head of the knife-maker clan: 『How is it, village head? Is the soil on my fingernail more, or is the soil of the earth more?』 English version: 'The village head replied to the Buddha: 『World Honored One! The soil on the fingernail is very little, the soil of the earth is immeasurable and countless.』 English version: 'The Buddha told the village head: 『Just as the soil on the fingernail is very little, and the soil of the earth is immeasurable in quantity. In the same way, when the mind is with loving-kindness, practicing and repeatedly practicing, those limited karmas are like the soil on the fingernail, they cannot be taken away, nor can they remain. In this way, using compassion to treat stealing, using joy to treat sexual misconduct, and using equanimity to treat false speech, cannot be compared.』


。」

說是語時,刀師氏聚落主遠塵離垢,得法眼凈,聚落主見法、得法、覺法、知法、深入於法,離諸狐疑不由於他、不隨於他,于正法、律得無所畏。從坐起,整衣服,右膝著地,合掌白佛:「我已度。世尊!已越。世尊!我今歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧,盡其壽命為優婆塞。世尊!譬如士夫欲求燈明,取其馬尾,以為燈炷,欲吹令然,終不得明,徒自疲勞,燈竟不然。我亦如是,欲求明智,于諸愚癡尼揵子所,愚癡習近,愚癡和合,愚癡奉事,徒自勞苦,不得明智,是故我今重歸依佛、歸法、歸僧。從今以去,于彼尼揵愚癡不善不辯者所,少信、少敬、少愛、少念,於今遠離。是故,我今第三歸佛、歸法、歸僧,乃至盡壽,為優婆塞,自凈其心。」

時,刀師氏聚落主聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(九一七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「世間有三種調馬。何等為三種?有馬捷疾具足、色不具足、形體不具足。有馬色具足、捷疾具足形體不具足。有馬捷疾具足、色具足、形體具足。如是有三種調士夫相。何等為三?有士夫捷疾具足、色不具足、形體不具足。有士夫捷疾具足、色具足、形體不具足

現代漢語譯本:當他這樣說的時候,刀師氏聚落的首領遠離了塵垢,獲得了清凈的法眼。他見到法、得到法、覺悟法、理解法,並深入其中,不再有任何疑惑,不依賴他人,也不隨波逐流,對於正法和戒律有了無所畏懼的信心。他從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,右膝跪地,合掌向佛陀說道:『我已經度脫了!世尊!我已經超越了!世尊!我現在皈依佛、皈依法、皈依比丘僧團,直到生命結束都將作為優婆塞。世尊!譬如一個人想要得到光明,卻用馬尾做燈芯,想要吹燃它,最終也得不到光明,只是徒勞無功,燈終究不會亮。我過去也是這樣,想要尋求智慧,卻在那些愚癡的尼犍子那裡,愚癡地親近、愚癡地結合、愚癡地侍奉,只是徒勞辛苦,得不到智慧。所以,我現在重新皈依佛、皈依法、皈依僧。從今以後,對於那些愚癡、不善、不明事理的尼犍子,我將減少信任、減少尊敬、減少愛戴、減少思念,從今以後遠離他們。因此,我現在第三次皈依佛、皈依法、皈依僧,乃至生命結束,作為優婆塞,凈化自己的內心。』 當時,刀師氏聚落的首領聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (九一七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『世間有三種調馬。是哪三種呢?有的馬速度快,但毛色不好,體型也不好。有的馬毛色好,速度快,但體型不好。有的馬速度快,毛色好,體型也好。調教人也有三種情況。是哪三種呢?有的人行動敏捷,但品德不好,外形也不好。有的人行動敏捷,品德好,但外形不好。

English version: When he said this, the head of the Kutika village, having distanced himself from defilements, attained the pure Dharma eye. He saw the Dharma, attained the Dharma, awakened to the Dharma, understood the Dharma, and delved deeply into it, free from all doubts, not relying on others, nor following others. He had fearlessness in the true Dharma and discipline. He rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, knelt on his right knee, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'I have crossed over! O Lord! I have transcended! O Lord! I now take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha of monks, and will be a lay disciple for the rest of my life. O Lord! It is like a man who seeks light, takes a horse's tail as a wick, and tries to blow it alight, but ultimately gets no light, only tiring himself, and the lamp remains unlit. I was like that, seeking wisdom, but among those foolish Niganthas, foolishly associating, foolishly uniting, foolishly serving, only toiling in vain, and not gaining wisdom. Therefore, I now take refuge again in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. From now on, towards those foolish, unwholesome, and ignorant Niganthas, I will have little faith, little respect, little love, and little thought, and from now on, I will distance myself from them. Therefore, I now take refuge for the third time in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, and for the rest of my life, I will be a lay disciple, purifying my own mind.' Then, the head of the Kutika village, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, paid homage, and departed. (917) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the Blessed One addressed the monks: 'There are three kinds of trained horses in the world. What are the three? There are horses that are swift, but lack good color and good form. There are horses that have good color and are swift, but lack good form. There are horses that are swift, have good color, and good form. Similarly, there are three kinds of trained individuals. What are the three? There are individuals who are swift, but lack good character and good form. There are individuals who are swift and have good character, but lack good form.'

現代漢語譯本 『比丘們!有這樣一種人,他行動敏捷,具備(智慧),但外貌不佳,形體也不完美。』 『比丘們!什麼是不調和的行動敏捷,外貌不佳,形體不完美的人呢?』 有這樣的人,他如實地知曉苦,如實地知曉苦的生起,如實地知曉苦的滅盡,如實地知曉導致苦滅盡的道路。像這樣觀察的人,斷除了三種束縛:身見、戒律執取和懷疑。斷除這三種束縛后,他成為須陀洹,不會墮入惡道,必定走向正覺,經歷七次天人輪迴后,最終達到苦的盡頭。這被稱為行動敏捷。什麼是不具備外貌呢?如果有人問他關於阿毗曇和戒律的問題,他不能用完整、有條理、順暢的語句來解釋,這被稱為外貌不佳。什麼是形體不完美呢?他不是一個有德行、有名望的人,不能獲得衣服、食物、床鋪、藥物和生活用品的供養,這被稱為行動敏捷,外貌不佳,形體不完美的人。 『什麼是行動敏捷,外貌具備,但形體不完美的人呢?』 這樣的人,他如實地知曉苦,如實地知曉苦的生起,如實地知曉苦的滅盡,如實地知曉導致苦滅盡的道路,直到最終達到苦的盡頭,這被稱為行動敏捷。什麼是外貌具備呢?如果有人問他關於阿毗曇和戒律的問題,他能夠解釋,這被稱為外貌具備。什麼是形體不完美呢?他不是一個有德行、有名望的人,不能獲得衣服、食物、床鋪和藥物的供養,這被稱為行動敏捷,外貌具備,但形體不完美的人。 『什麼是行動敏捷,外貌具備,形體也完美的人呢?』 這樣的人,他如實地知曉苦,如實地知曉苦的生起,如實地知曉苦的滅盡,如實地知曉導致苦滅盡的道路,直到最終達到苦的盡頭,這被稱為行動敏捷。什麼是外貌具備呢?如果有人問他關於阿毗曇和戒律的問題,他能夠解釋,這被稱為外貌具備。

English version 'Monks! There is a person who is quick-witted, possesses (wisdom), but is not of good appearance, and whose form is not perfect.' 'Monks! What is a person who is not harmonious, quick-witted, not of good appearance, and whose form is not perfect?' There is a person who truly knows suffering, truly knows the arising of suffering, truly knows the cessation of suffering, and truly knows the path leading to the cessation of suffering. One who observes in this way cuts off three fetters: self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, and doubt. Having cut off these three fetters, he becomes a stream-enterer, not subject to falling into the lower realms, destined for enlightenment, and after seven rebirths among gods and humans, he reaches the end of suffering. This is called quick-witted. What is it to not possess good appearance? If someone asks him about the Abhidhamma and the Vinaya, he cannot explain it with complete, orderly, and fluent sentences, this is called not of good appearance. What is it to have an imperfect form? He is not a virtuous and renowned person, and cannot receive offerings of clothing, food, bedding, medicine, and necessities, this is called a person who is quick-witted, not of good appearance, and whose form is not perfect. 'What is a person who is quick-witted, possesses good appearance, but whose form is not perfect?' Such a person truly knows suffering, truly knows the arising of suffering, truly knows the cessation of suffering, and truly knows the path leading to the cessation of suffering, until he finally reaches the end of suffering, this is called quick-witted. What is it to possess good appearance? If someone asks him about the Abhidhamma and the Vinaya, he is able to explain it, this is called possessing good appearance. What is it to have an imperfect form? He is not a virtuous and renowned person, and cannot receive offerings of clothing, food, bedding, and medicine, this is called a person who is quick-witted, possesses good appearance, but whose form is not perfect. 'What is a person who is quick-witted, possesses good appearance, and whose form is also perfect?' Such a person truly knows suffering, truly knows the arising of suffering, truly knows the cessation of suffering, and truly knows the path leading to the cessation of suffering, until he finally reaches the end of suffering, this is called quick-witted. What is it to possess good appearance? If someone asks him about the Abhidhamma and the Vinaya, he is able to explain it, this is called possessing good appearance.


。何等為形體具足,大德名聞,乃至臥具、湯藥,是名形體具足,是名士夫捷疾具足、色具足、形體具足。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九一八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「世間有三種良馬。何等為三?有馬捷疾具足、非色具足、非形體具足。有馬捷疾具足、色具足、非形體具足,有馬捷疾具足、色具足、形體具足。于正法、律有三種善男子。何等為三?有善男子捷疾具足、非色具足、非形體具足,有善男子捷疾具足、色具足、非形體具足,有善男子捷疾具足、色具足、形體具足。

「何等為善男子捷疾具足、非色具足、非形體具足?謂善男子苦聖諦如實知,苦集聖諦如實知,苦滅聖諦如實知,苦滅道跡聖諦如實知。作如是知、如是見已,斷五下分結,謂身見、戒取、疑、貪慾、瞋恚;斷此五下分結已,得生般涅槃阿那含,不復還生此世,是名善男子捷疾具足。云何色不具足?若問阿毗曇、律,不能解了句味,次第隨順,決定解說,是名色不具足。云何形體不具足?謂非名聞大德,能感財利供養、衣被、飲食、隨病湯藥,是名善男子捷疾具足、非色具足、非形體具足

什麼是形體具足呢?就是指大德名聲遠揚,乃至擁有臥具、湯藥等,這稱為形體具足,也稱為士夫的捷疾具足、色具足、形體具足。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (九一八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『世間有三種良馬。是哪三種呢?有的馬捷疾具足,但色不具足,形體也不具足;有的馬捷疾具足,色具足,但形體不具足;有的馬捷疾具足,色具足,形體也具足。在正法和律中,也有三種善男子。是哪三種呢?有的善男子捷疾具足,但色不具足,形體也不具足;有的善男子捷疾具足,色具足,但形體不具足;有的善男子捷疾具足,色具足,形體也具足。』 『什麼是善男子捷疾具足,但色不具足,形體也不具足呢?就是指善男子如實地知曉苦聖諦,如實地知曉苦集聖諦,如實地知曉苦滅聖諦,如實地知曉苦滅道跡聖諦。在這樣知曉、這樣看見之後,斷除了五下分結,即身見、戒取、疑、貪慾、嗔恚;斷除這五下分結后,就證得生般涅槃的阿那含果位,不再回到這個世間,這稱為善男子捷疾具足。什麼是不具足色呢?如果問他關於阿毗曇和律的問題,他不能理解其中的含義,不能按照次第隨順地、確定地解釋,這稱為色不具足。什麼是不具足形體呢?就是指他不是名聲遠揚的大德,不能感得財物供養、衣服、飲食、隨病湯藥,這稱為善男子捷疾具足,但色不具足,形體也不具足。

What is meant by 'completeness of form'? It refers to a great virtuous one who is renowned, and even has bedding and medicine. This is called 'completeness of form,' and it is also called a 'man's completeness of swiftness, completeness of appearance, and completeness of form.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (918) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'In the world, there are three kinds of good horses. What are the three? There are horses that are complete in swiftness, but not complete in appearance, nor complete in form. There are horses that are complete in swiftness and complete in appearance, but not complete in form. There are horses that are complete in swiftness, complete in appearance, and complete in form. In the Dharma and Vinaya, there are also three kinds of good men. What are the three? There are good men who are complete in swiftness, but not complete in appearance, nor complete in form. There are good men who are complete in swiftness and complete in appearance, but not complete in form. There are good men who are complete in swiftness, complete in appearance, and complete in form.' 'What is a good man who is complete in swiftness, but not complete in appearance, nor complete in form? It refers to a good man who truly knows the Noble Truth of Suffering, truly knows the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, truly knows the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and truly knows the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering. Having known and seen in this way, he has severed the five lower fetters, namely, self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, doubt, sensual desire, and anger. Having severed these five lower fetters, he attains the state of Anagami, who is born into Parinirvana and does not return to this world. This is called a good man who is complete in swiftness. What is meant by 'not complete in appearance'? If asked about the Abhidhamma and Vinaya, he cannot understand the meaning of the words, nor can he explain them in a sequential, consistent, and definitive manner. This is called 'not complete in appearance.' What is meant by 'not complete in form'? It refers to one who is not a renowned great virtuous one, and cannot receive material offerings, clothing, food, and medicine for illness. This is called a good man who is complete in swiftness, but not complete in appearance, nor complete in form.'


「何等為捷疾具足、色具足、非形體具足?謂善男子此苦聖諦如實知,乃至得生般涅槃阿那含,不復還生此世,是名捷疾具足。云何色具足?若有問阿毗曇、律,能以次第句味,隨順決定,而為解說,是名色具足。云何非形體具足?謂非名聞大德,能感財利供養、衣被、飲食、隨病湯藥,是名善男子捷疾具足、色具足、非形體具足。

「何等為善男子捷疾具足、色具足、形體具足?謂善男子此苦聖諦如實知,乃至得阿那含生般涅槃,不復還生此世,是名捷疾具足。何等為色具足,若有問阿毗曇、毗尼,乃至而為解說,是名色具足。何等為形體具足?謂名聞大德能感財利,乃至湯藥、眾具,是名形體具足,是名善男子捷疾具足、色具足、形體具足。」

These three virtuous men are: the first possesses quickness but not appearance or form; the second possesses quickness and appearance but not form; and the third possesses quickness, appearance, and form. How does the first virtuous man possess quickness but not appearance or form? He truly knows the noble truth of suffering, truly knows the noble truth of the origin of suffering, truly knows the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and truly knows the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering. When he knows and sees in this way, his mind is liberated from the defilements of desire, from the defilements of existence, and from the defilements of ignorance. He is certain that 『birth is exhausted, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, and there is no more future existence.』 This is called possessing quickness. How does he not possess appearance? If someone asks him about the Abhidhamma and the Vinaya, and he cannot give a definite explanation, this is called not possessing appearance. How does he not possess form? He is not a renowned great elder, and he cannot even receive offerings of medicine and necessities; this is called not possessing form.

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.

At that time, the World Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'There are three kinds of excellent horses in the world, which are ridden by kings. What are the three? They are excellent horses endowed with form, strength, and swiftness. Similarly, in the Dharma and Vinaya, there are three kinds of virtuous men who are revered, offered to, and respected by the world, and who are supreme fields of merit. What are the three? They are virtuous men endowed with form, strength, and swiftness.'

'What is meant by being endowed with 'form'? It refers to a virtuous man who abides in pure precepts, observes the rules of the Pratimoksha, whose conduct is proper, who fears even the slightest transgression, and who upholds and learns the precepts. This is called being endowed with 'form'.'

It refers to one who, when evil and unwholesome states have arisen, is able to abandon them, generating desire, diligence, and skillful means to subdue and increase them; when evil and unwholesome states have not arisen, is able to prevent them from arising, generating desire, diligence, and skillful means to subdue and increase them. When wholesome states have not arisen, is able to cause them to arise, generating desire, diligence, and skillful means to subdue and increase them; when wholesome states have arisen, is able to maintain them without forgetting, generating desire, diligence, and skillful means to subdue and increase them. This is called being endowed with 'strength'.'

'What is meant by being endowed with 'swiftness'? It refers to one who truly understands the Noble Truth of Suffering, and who, having attained Arhatship, is no longer subject to future existence. This is called being endowed with 'swiftness'. This is what is meant by a virtuous man being endowed with form, strength, and swiftness.'

現代漢語譯本 (九二一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『世間有良馬,具備四種能力,應當知道這是良馬,是國王所駕乘的。哪四種呢?就是賢善、快速、堪用、調柔。像這樣,善男子成就四種德行,為世人所尊敬,接受供養,成為無上的福田。哪四種呢?就是善男子成就無學戒身、無學定身、無學慧身、無學解脫身。』 佛說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (九二二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『世間有四種良馬,有的良馬駕著平穩的車,看到鞭子的影子就飛快奔跑,善於觀察駕車人的意圖,快慢左右,都隨駕車人的心意。這叫做,比丘們!世間良馬的第一種德行。其次,比丘們!世間的良馬不能看到鞭影就自己警覺,但用鞭子或棍子觸碰它的毛尾,就能驚醒並迅速領會駕車人的意圖,快慢左右,這叫做世間第二種良馬。其次,比丘們!如果世間的良馬不能看到鞭影,也不能通過觸碰皮毛來領會駕車人的意圖,而是用鞭子稍微觸碰到皮肉,就能驚醒並領會駕車人的意圖,快慢左右。這叫做,比丘們!第三種良馬。其次,比丘們!世間的良馬不能看到鞭影,也不能通過觸碰皮毛,稍微觸碰皮肉來領會,而是用鐵錐刺入身體,穿透面板傷到骨頭,然後才驚醒,拉著車走上正路,隨駕車人的心意,快慢左右,這叫做世間第四種良馬。 『像這樣,在正法和戒律中也有四種善男子』

English version (921) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the Blessed One told the monks: 'There are excellent horses in the world that possess four qualities. You should know that these are excellent horses, ridden by kings. What are the four? They are being virtuous, swift, capable, and docile. Likewise, a good man who has achieved four virtues is respected by the world, receives offerings, and becomes a supreme field of merit. What are the four? They are a good man who has achieved the body of non-learning in precepts, the body of non-learning in concentration, the body of non-learning in wisdom, and the body of non-learning in liberation.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (922) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the Blessed One told the monks: 'There are four kinds of excellent horses in the world. Some excellent horses, when pulling a smooth carriage, will gallop swiftly at the sight of the whip's shadow, being good at observing the driver's intentions, and will go fast or slow, left or right, according to the driver's will. This, monks, is called the first virtue of an excellent horse in the world. Furthermore, monks, an excellent horse in the world may not be startled by the shadow of the whip, but if its tail is touched by a whip or stick, it will be startled and quickly understand the driver's intentions, going fast or slow, left or right. This is called the second excellent horse in the world. Furthermore, monks, if an excellent horse in the world cannot understand the driver's intentions by seeing the shadow of the whip or by touching its fur, but is slightly touched on the skin by the whip, it will be startled and understand the driver's intentions, going fast or slow, left or right. This, monks, is called the third excellent horse. Furthermore, monks, an excellent horse in the world cannot understand the driver's intentions by seeing the shadow of the whip, by touching its fur, or by slightly touching its skin, but only when a metal spike pierces its body, penetrating the skin and injuring the bone, will it then be startled, pull the carriage onto the right path, and follow the driver's intentions, going fast or slow, left or right. This is called the fourth excellent horse in the world.' 'Likewise, in the Dharma and Vinaya, there are four kinds of good men.'


。何等為四?謂善男子聞他聚落有男子、女人疾病困苦,乃至死,聞已,能生恐怖,依正思惟,如彼良馬顧影則調,是名第一善男子于正法、律能自調伏。複次,善男子不能聞他聚落若男、若女老、病、死苦,能生怖畏,依正思惟;見他聚落若男、若女老、病、死苦,則生怖畏,依正思惟,如彼良馬觸其毛尾,能速調伏,隨御者心,是名第二善男子于正法、律能自調伏。複次,善男子不能聞、見他聚落中男子、女人老、病、死苦,生怖畏心,依正思惟,然見聚落、城邑有善知識及所親近老、病、死苦,則生怖畏,依正思惟,如彼良馬,觸其膚肉,然後調伏,隨御者心,是名善男子于聖法、律而自調伏。複次,善男子不能聞、見他聚落中男子、女人及所親近老、病、死苦,生怖畏心,依正思惟;然于自身老、病、死苦能生厭怖,依正思惟,如彼良馬侵肌徹骨,然後乃調,隨御者心,是名第四善男子于聖法、律能自調伏。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九二三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有調馬師名曰只尸,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我觀世間甚為輕賤,猶如群羊

現代漢語譯本:哪四種呢?第一種是,善男子聽到其他村落有男子、女子生病困苦,乃至死亡,聽聞后,能產生恐懼,並依正理思維,就像良馬看到自己的影子就調順一樣,這稱為第一種善男子能在正法、律中自我調伏。第二種是,善男子不能聽到其他村落的男子、女子衰老、生病、死亡的痛苦而產生恐懼,並依正理思維;但看到其他村落的男子、女子衰老、生病、死亡的痛苦,就會產生恐懼,並依正理思維,就像良馬被觸碰到毛尾就能迅速調伏,順從駕馭者的心意一樣,這稱為第二種善男子能在正法、律中自我調伏。第三種是,善男子不能聽到、看到其他村落中男子、女子衰老、生病、死亡的痛苦而產生恐懼,並依正理思維;但看到村落、城邑中有善知識以及親近的人衰老、生病、死亡的痛苦,就會產生恐懼,並依正理思維,就像良馬被觸碰到面板肌肉,然後才調伏,順從駕馭者的心意一樣,這稱為善男子能在聖法、律中自我調伏。第四種是,善男子不能聽到、看到其他村落中男子、女子以及親近的人衰老、生病、死亡的痛苦而產生恐懼,並依正理思維;但對於自身衰老、生病、死亡的痛苦能產生厭惡恐懼,並依正理思維,就像良馬被侵入肌膚徹骨,然後才調順,順從駕馭者的心意一樣,這稱為第四種善男子能在聖法、律中自我調伏。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (九二三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位調馬師名叫只尸,來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我觀察世間非常輕賤,就像一群羊一樣。』

English version: What are the four? The first is that a virtuous man, upon hearing of men and women in other villages suffering from illness, hardship, and even death, is able to generate fear and reflect with right mindfulness. Like a good horse that is trained by seeing its own shadow, this is called the first virtuous man who is able to self-discipline in the Dharma and Vinaya. The second is that a virtuous man is unable to generate fear upon hearing of the suffering of old age, sickness, and death of men and women in other villages and reflect with right mindfulness; but upon seeing the suffering of old age, sickness, and death of men and women in other villages, he generates fear and reflects with right mindfulness. Like a good horse that is quickly trained by touching its tail, following the will of the rider, this is called the second virtuous man who is able to self-discipline in the Dharma and Vinaya. The third is that a virtuous man is unable to generate fear upon hearing or seeing the suffering of old age, sickness, and death of men and women in other villages and reflect with right mindfulness; but upon seeing the suffering of old age, sickness, and death of good teachers and close relatives in villages and cities, he generates fear and reflects with right mindfulness. Like a good horse that is trained by touching its skin, following the will of the rider, this is called a virtuous man who is able to self-discipline in the Holy Dharma and Vinaya. The fourth is that a virtuous man is unable to generate fear upon hearing or seeing the suffering of old age, sickness, and death of men and women and close relatives in other villages and reflect with right mindfulness; but he is able to generate aversion and fear towards his own suffering of old age, sickness, and death, and reflect with right mindfulness. Like a good horse that is trained only after being pierced to the bone, following the will of the rider, this is called the fourth virtuous man who is able to self-discipline in the Holy Dharma and Vinaya. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (923) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, there was a horse trainer named Jishi, who came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable One, I observe that the world is very lowly, like a flock of sheep.'


。世尊!唯我堪能調馬;狂逸惡馬,我作方便,須臾令彼態病悉現,隨其態病,方便調伏。」

佛告調馬師聚落主:「汝以幾種方便調伏于馬?」

馬師白佛:「有三種法調伏惡馬。何等為三?一者柔軟,二者粗澀,三者柔軟粗澀。」

佛告聚落主:「汝以三種方便調馬,猶不調者,當如之何?」

馬師白佛:「遂不調者,便當殺之。所以者何?莫令辱我。」調馬師白佛:「世尊是無上調御丈夫,為以幾種方便調御丈夫?」

佛告聚落主:「我亦以三種方便調御丈夫。何等為三?一者一向柔軟,二者一向粗澀,三者柔軟粗澀。」

佛告聚落主:「所謂一向柔軟者,如所說:『此是身善行,此是身善行報,此是口、意善行,此是口、意善行報,是名天、是名人、是名善趣化生、是名涅槃,是為柔軟。』

「粗澀者,如所說:『是身惡行,是身惡行報,是口、意惡行,是口、意惡行報,是名地獄、是名畜生、是名餓鬼、是名惡趣、是名墮惡趣,是名如來粗澀教也。』

「彼柔軟粗澀俱者,謂如來有時說身善行,有時說身善行報,有時說口、意善行,有時說口、意善行報;有時說身惡行,有時說身惡行報,有時說口、意惡行,有時說口、意惡行報

現代漢語譯本:世尊!只有我才能調教馬匹;對於那些狂躁不羈的劣馬,我自有辦法,能讓它們在短時間內顯露出所有的不良習性,然後根據這些習性,方便地進行調伏。 佛陀告訴調馬師聚落主:『你用幾種方法來調伏馬匹呢?』 馬師回答佛陀:『我有三種方法來調伏劣馬。是哪三種呢?第一種是溫和的方法,第二種是強硬的方法,第三種是溫和與強硬並用的方法。』 佛陀告訴聚落主:『如果你用這三種方法調教馬匹,仍然無法調伏,那該怎麼辦呢?』 馬師回答佛陀:『如果仍然無法調伏,那就應該殺掉它。為什麼呢?不能讓它侮辱我。』調馬師問佛陀:『世尊是無上調御丈夫,您用幾種方法來調御丈夫呢?』 佛陀告訴聚落主:『我也是用三種方法來調御丈夫。是哪三種呢?第一種是一味地溫和,第二種是一味地強硬,第三種是溫和與強硬並用。』 佛陀告訴聚落主:『所謂一味地溫和,就像所說的:『這是身體的善行,這是身體善行的果報,這是口和意的善行,這是口和意善行的果報,這被稱為天界,這被稱為人界,這被稱為善趣化生,這被稱為涅槃,這就是溫和的方法。』 『強硬的方法,就像所說的:『這是身體的惡行,這是身體惡行的果報,這是口和意的惡行,這是口和意惡行的果報,這被稱為地獄,這被稱為畜生,這被稱為餓鬼,這被稱為惡趣,這被稱為墮入惡趣,這就是如來強硬的教導。』 『而溫和與強硬並用的方法,是指如來有時說身體的善行,有時說身體善行的果報,有時說口和意的善行,有時說口和意善行的果報;有時說身體的惡行,有時說身體惡行的果報,有時說口和意的惡行,有時說口和意惡行的果報。』

English version: 'Venerable One! Only I am capable of training horses; for those wild and unruly horses, I have methods to make all their bad habits appear in a short time, and then according to these habits, I can conveniently subdue them.' The Buddha said to the head of the horse trainer's village, 'With how many methods do you train horses?' The horse trainer replied to the Buddha, 'I have three methods to train bad horses. What are the three? The first is the gentle method, the second is the harsh method, and the third is the method of using both gentle and harsh methods.' The Buddha said to the head of the village, 'If you use these three methods to train horses and still cannot subdue them, what should be done?' The horse trainer replied to the Buddha, 'If they still cannot be subdued, then they should be killed. Why? They cannot be allowed to disgrace me.' The horse trainer asked the Buddha, 'Venerable One, you are the unsurpassed tamer of men, with how many methods do you tame men?' The Buddha said to the head of the village, 'I also use three methods to tame men. What are the three? The first is to be consistently gentle, the second is to be consistently harsh, and the third is to use both gentle and harsh methods.' The Buddha said to the head of the village, 'The so-called consistently gentle method is like what is said: 『This is good conduct of the body, this is the result of good conduct of the body, this is good conduct of speech and mind, this is the result of good conduct of speech and mind, this is called the heavens, this is called the human realm, this is called rebirth in a good realm, this is called Nirvana, this is the gentle method.』 'The harsh method is like what is said: 『This is bad conduct of the body, this is the result of bad conduct of the body, this is bad conduct of speech and mind, this is the result of bad conduct of speech and mind, this is called hell, this is called the animal realm, this is called the hungry ghost realm, this is called the evil realm, this is called falling into an evil realm, this is the harsh teaching of the Tathagata.』 'The method of using both gentle and harsh methods refers to the Tathagata sometimes speaking of good conduct of the body, sometimes speaking of the result of good conduct of the body, sometimes speaking of good conduct of speech and mind, sometimes speaking of the result of good conduct of speech and mind; sometimes speaking of bad conduct of the body, sometimes speaking of the result of bad conduct of the body, sometimes speaking of bad conduct of speech and mind, sometimes speaking of the result of bad conduct of speech and mind.'


。如是名天、如是名人、如是名善趣、如是名涅槃。如是名地獄、如是名畜生、餓鬼、如是名惡趣、如是墮惡趣,是名如來柔軟粗澀教。」

調馬師白佛:「世尊!若以三種方便調伏眾生,有不調者,當如之何?」

佛告聚落主:「亦當殺之。所以者何?莫令辱我。」

調馬師白佛言:「若殺生者,於世尊法為不清凈,世尊法中亦不殺生,而今言殺,其義云何?」

佛告聚落主:「如是!如是!如來法中殺生不清凈,如來法中亦不殺生;然如來法中以三種教授不調伏者,不復與語、不教、不誡。聚落主!于意云何?如來法中不復與語、不教、不誡,豈非死耶?」

調馬師白佛:「實爾。世尊!不復與語,永不教、誡,真為死也。世尊!以是之故,我從今日離諸惡不善業。」

佛告聚落主:「善哉所說!」

時,調馬師聚落主只尸聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,禮足而去。

(九二四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「世間馬有八態。何等為八?謂惡馬臨駕車時,後腳踏人,前腳跪地,奮頭嚙人,是名世間馬第一態。複次,惡馬就駕車時,低頭振軛,是名世間惡馬第二之態

現代漢語譯本:『像這樣稱為天,像這樣稱為人,像這樣稱為善趣,像這樣稱為涅槃。像這樣稱為地獄,像這樣稱為畜生、餓鬼,像這樣稱為惡趣,像這樣墮入惡趣,這被稱為如來柔軟和粗澀的教導。』 調馬師問佛:『世尊!如果用三種方法調伏眾生,還有不被調伏的,該怎麼辦呢?』 佛告訴聚落主:『也應當殺死他們。為什麼呢?不要讓他們侮辱我。』 調馬師對佛說:『如果殺生,在世尊的教法中是不清凈的,世尊的教法中也不殺生,而現在卻說要殺,這是什麼意思呢?』 佛告訴聚落主:『是這樣的!是這樣的!如來的教法中殺生是不清凈的,如來的教法中也不殺生;然而,如來的教法中,對於用三種教導方法都不能調伏的人,就不再與他們說話、不再教導、不再告誡。聚落主!你認為如何?如來的教法中不再與他們說話、不再教導、不再告誡,難道不是等於死了嗎?』 調馬師對佛說:『確實如此。世尊!不再與他們說話,永遠不教導、不告誡,真的就等於死了。世尊!因此,我從今天起遠離一切惡和不善的行為。』 佛告訴聚落主:『你說得很好!』 當時,調馬師聚落主只尸聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,頂禮佛足后離開了。 (九二四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『世間的馬有八種狀態。是哪八種呢?所謂惡馬在駕車時,後腳踢人,前腳跪地,奮力咬人,這稱為世間馬的第一種狀態。其次,惡馬在駕車時,低頭搖晃軛,這稱為世間惡馬的第二種狀態。』

English version: 'Thus it is called heaven, thus it is called human, thus it is called a good destination, thus it is called Nirvana. Thus it is called hell, thus it is called an animal, a hungry ghost, thus it is called a bad destination, thus it is falling into a bad destination, this is called the Tathagata's gentle and harsh teachings.' The horse trainer asked the Buddha: 'World Honored One! If beings are tamed by three methods, and there are still those who are not tamed, what should be done?' The Buddha told the village chief: 'They should also be killed. Why? Lest they disgrace me.' The horse trainer said to the Buddha: 'If one kills, it is not pure in the World Honored One's Dharma, and in the World Honored One's Dharma, one does not kill. But now you say to kill, what does this mean?' The Buddha told the village chief: 'It is so! It is so! In the Tathagata's Dharma, killing is not pure, and in the Tathagata's Dharma, one does not kill; however, in the Tathagata's Dharma, those who cannot be tamed by three methods of teaching, one no longer speaks to them, no longer teaches them, and no longer admonishes them. Village chief! What do you think? In the Tathagata's Dharma, no longer speaking to them, no longer teaching them, no longer admonishing them, is it not like death?' The horse trainer said to the Buddha: 'Indeed. World Honored One! No longer speaking to them, never teaching or admonishing them, is truly like death. World Honored One! Therefore, from today on, I will stay away from all evil and unwholesome deeds.' The Buddha told the village chief: 'Well said!' At that time, the horse trainer village chief Jishi, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and left. (924) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There are eight states of horses in the world. What are the eight? Namely, when a bad horse is harnessed to a cart, it kicks people with its hind legs, kneels with its front legs, and bites people with its head, this is called the first state of a horse in the world. Secondly, when a bad horse is harnessed to a cart, it lowers its head and shakes the yoke, this is called the second state of a bad horse in the world.'


。複次,世間惡馬就駕車時,下道而去,或復偏厲車,令其翻覆,是名第三之態。複次,世間惡馬就駕車時,仰頭卻行,是名世間惡馬第四之態。複次,世間惡馬就駕車時,小得鞭杖,或斷韁折勒,縱橫馳走,是名第五之態。複次,世間惡馬就駕車時,舉前兩足,而作人立,是名第六之態。複次,世間惡馬就駕之時,加之鞭杖,安住不動,是名第七之態。複次,世間惡馬就駕之時,叢聚四腳,伏地不起,是名第八之態。

「如是,世間惡丈夫于正法、律有八種過。何等為八?若比丘!諸梵行者以見聞疑罪而發舉時,彼則瞋恚,反呵責彼言:『汝愚癡,不辯不善,他立舉汝,汝云何舉我?』如彼惡馬,後腳雙踏,前腳跪地,斷鞅折軛,是名丈夫于正法、律第一之過。

「複次,比丘!諸梵行者以見聞疑舉,反出他罪,猶如惡馬怒項折軛,是名丈夫于正法、律第二之過。

「複次,比丘!諸梵行者以見聞疑舉,不以正答,橫說餘事,瞋恚憍慢,隱覆嫌恨,不忍,無所由作,如彼惡馬不由正路,令車翻覆,是名丈夫于正法、律第三之過。

「複次,比丘!諸梵行者以見聞疑舉,令其憶念,而作是言:『我不憶念!』抵突不伏,如彼惡馬卻縮轉退,是名丈夫于正法、律第四之過

現代漢語譯本:再者,世間的劣馬在駕車時,會偏離道路,或者使車子傾斜,導致翻覆,這是第三種狀態。再者,世間的劣馬在駕車時,會仰頭後退,這是世間劣馬的第四種狀態。再者,世間的劣馬在駕車時,稍微受到鞭打,就會掙斷韁繩,折斷馬嚼子,然後橫衝直撞,這是第五種狀態。再者,世間的劣馬在駕車時,會抬起前兩隻腳,像人一樣站立,這是第六種狀態。再者,世間的劣馬在駕車時,即使鞭打它,也會安住不動,這是第七種狀態。再者,世間的劣馬在駕車時,會四腳併攏,趴在地上不起來,這是第八種狀態。 『如此,世間的惡劣丈夫在正法和戒律中有八種過失。哪八種呢?比丘們,如果其他修行者因為見到、聽到或懷疑某人有罪而提出指責時,那人就會生氣,反而責罵對方說:『你愚蠢,不辨是非,別人讓你指責我,你憑什麼指責我?』就像那劣馬,後腳雙踏,前腳跪地,掙斷韁繩和軛,這是丈夫在正法和戒律中的第一種過失。 『再者,比丘們,如果其他修行者因為見到、聽到或懷疑某人有罪而提出指責時,那人反而指出別人的過錯,就像劣馬發怒時會折斷軛一樣,這是丈夫在正法和戒律中的第二種過失。 『再者,比丘們,如果其他修行者因為見到、聽到或懷疑某人有罪而提出指責時,那人不正面回答,反而說些無關的事情,生氣、傲慢,隱瞞嫌隙和怨恨,不忍耐,無所作為,就像那劣馬不走正路,導致車子翻覆一樣,這是丈夫在正法和戒律中的第三種過失。 『再者,比丘們,如果其他修行者因為見到、聽到或懷疑某人有罪而提出指責時,那人被提醒后,卻說:『我不記得了!』抵賴不服,就像那劣馬後退一樣,這是丈夫在正法和戒律中的第四種過失。

English version: Furthermore, when a bad horse in the world is harnessed to a cart, it will go off the road, or make the cart tilt, causing it to overturn; this is the third state. Furthermore, when a bad horse in the world is harnessed to a cart, it will raise its head and go backward; this is the fourth state of a bad horse in the world. Furthermore, when a bad horse in the world is harnessed to a cart, if it receives a little whipping, it will break the reins and the bit, and run wildly; this is the fifth state. Furthermore, when a bad horse in the world is harnessed to a cart, it will raise its front two legs and stand like a person; this is the sixth state. Furthermore, when a bad horse in the world is harnessed to a cart, even if it is whipped, it will remain still; this is the seventh state. Furthermore, when a bad horse in the world is harnessed to a cart, it will gather its four legs together and lie down on the ground, refusing to get up; this is the eighth state. 'Thus, a bad man in the world has eight faults in the Dharma and the Vinaya. What are the eight? If, bhikkhus, when fellow practitioners raise an accusation based on seeing, hearing, or suspicion of a fault, that person becomes angry and instead scolds them, saying: 『You are foolish, you cannot distinguish good from bad, others have made you accuse me, how can you accuse me?』 Like that bad horse, which kicks with its hind legs, kneels with its front legs, and breaks the reins and yoke, this is the first fault of a man in the Dharma and the Vinaya. 'Furthermore, bhikkhus, if fellow practitioners raise an accusation based on seeing, hearing, or suspicion, that person instead points out the faults of others, like a bad horse that breaks the yoke in anger, this is the second fault of a man in the Dharma and the Vinaya. 'Furthermore, bhikkhus, if fellow practitioners raise an accusation based on seeing, hearing, or suspicion, that person does not answer directly, but speaks of other matters, is angry and arrogant, conceals grudges and resentment, is impatient, and does nothing, like that bad horse that does not follow the right path and causes the cart to overturn, this is the third fault of a man in the Dharma and the Vinaya. 'Furthermore, bhikkhus, if fellow practitioners raise an accusation based on seeing, hearing, or suspicion, and when reminded, that person says: 『I do not remember!』 resisting and not submitting, like that bad horse that shrinks back, this is the fourth fault of a man in the Dharma and the Vinaya.'


「複次,比丘!諸梵行者以見聞疑舉時,輕蔑不數其人,亦不數僧,攝持衣缽,隨意而去,如彼惡馬加以鞭杖,縱橫馳走,是名丈夫于正法、律第五之過。

「複次,比丘!諸梵行者以見聞疑舉時,自處高床、與諸上座共諍曲直,如彼惡馬雙腳人立,是名丈夫于正法、律第六之過。

「複次,比丘!諸梵行者以見聞疑舉時,默然不應,以惱大眾,如彼惡馬加其鞭杖,兀然不動,是名丈夫于正法、律第七之過。

「複次,比丘!諸梵行者以見聞疑舉時,則便舍戒,自生退沒,到于寺門,而作是言:『汝默然快喜安住,我自舍戒退沒。』如彼惡馬叢聚四足,伏地不動,是名丈夫于正法、律第八之過。是名比丘于正法、律有八種丈夫過惡。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九二五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「世間良馬有八種德成就者,隨人所欲,取道多少。何等為八?生於良馬鄉,是名良馬第一之德。複次,體性溫良,不驚恐人,是名良馬第二之德。複次,良馬不擇飲食,是名良馬第三之德。複次,良馬厭惡不凈,擇地而臥,是名良馬第四之德

現代漢語譯本: 『再者,比丘!當其他修行者因見聞或懷疑而提出指責時,(此人)輕視他們,不把他們放在眼裡,也不尊重僧團,收拾好衣缽,就隨意離開,就像那匹被鞭打的劣馬,縱橫馳騁,這被稱為丈夫在正法和戒律上的第五種過失。 『再者,比丘!當其他修行者因見聞或懷疑而提出指責時,(此人)自己坐在高高的床上,與那些上座長老爭論是非曲直,就像那匹用雙腳站立的劣馬,這被稱為丈夫在正法和戒律上的第六種過失。 『再者,比丘!當其他修行者因見聞或懷疑而提出指責時,(此人)沉默不語,不作迴應,以此來惱亂大眾,就像那匹被鞭打的劣馬,兀然不動,這被稱為丈夫在正法和戒律上的第七種過失。 『再者,比丘!當其他修行者因見聞或懷疑而提出指責時,(此人)就立即捨棄戒律,自己退縮墮落,走到寺廟門口,然後說:『你們安靜地歡喜安住吧,我自己捨棄戒律退出了。』就像那匹四肢蜷縮,趴在地上不動的劣馬,這被稱為丈夫在正法和戒律上的第八種過失。』這被稱為比丘在正法和戒律上的八種丈夫過失。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (九二五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『世間的良馬有八種德行成就,可以隨人的意願,走遠或走近。哪八種呢?生在良馬的故鄉,這被稱為良馬的第一種德行。再者,體性溫順善良,不驚嚇人,這被稱為良馬的第二種德行。再者,良馬不挑剔食物,這被稱為良馬的第三種德行。再者,良馬厭惡不潔凈,選擇乾淨的地方睡覺,這被稱為良馬的第四種德行。

English version: 'Furthermore, bhikkhus! When fellow practitioners raise accusations based on what they have seen, heard, or suspected, (this person) looks down on them, disregards them, and does not respect the Sangha. He gathers his robes and bowl and leaves as he pleases, like a bad horse that is whipped and runs wildly. This is called the fifth fault of a man in the Dharma and the Vinaya.' 'Furthermore, bhikkhus! When fellow practitioners raise accusations based on what they have seen, heard, or suspected, (this person) sits on a high seat and argues with the senior monks about right and wrong, like a bad horse standing on its hind legs. This is called the sixth fault of a man in the Dharma and the Vinaya.' 'Furthermore, bhikkhus! When fellow practitioners raise accusations based on what they have seen, heard, or suspected, (this person) remains silent and does not respond, thereby disturbing the assembly, like a bad horse that is whipped and remains motionless. This is called the seventh fault of a man in the Dharma and the Vinaya.' 'Furthermore, bhikkhus! When fellow practitioners raise accusations based on what they have seen, heard, or suspected, (this person) immediately abandons the precepts, retreats and falls away, goes to the temple gate, and says: 『You all remain peacefully and happily, I myself am abandoning the precepts and withdrawing.』 Like a bad horse that curls up its four legs and lies motionless on the ground, this is called the eighth fault of a man in the Dharma and the Vinaya.』 These are called the eight faults of a man in the Dharma and the Vinaya for a bhikkhu.』 After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (925) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 『Worldly good horses have eight qualities that are accomplished, and they can travel as far or as near as a person desires. What are the eight? Being born in the land of good horses, this is called the first quality of a good horse. Furthermore, having a gentle and kind nature, not frightening people, this is called the second quality of a good horse. Furthermore, a good horse is not picky about food, this is called the third quality of a good horse. Furthermore, a good horse dislikes uncleanliness and chooses a clean place to sleep, this is called the fourth quality of a good horse.'


。複次,良馬諸情態速為調馬者現,馬師調習,速舍其態,是名良馬第五之德。複次,良馬安於駕乘,不顧余馬,隨其輕重,能盡其力,是名良馬第六之德。複次,良馬常隨正路,不隨非道,是名良馬第七之德。複次,良馬若病、若老,勉力駕乘,不厭不倦,是名良馬第八之德。

「如是,丈夫于正法、律八德成就,當知是賢士夫。何等為八?謂賢士夫住于正戒波羅提木叉律儀,威儀行處具足,見微細罪,能生怖畏,受持學戒,是名丈夫于正法、律第一之德。複次,丈夫性自賢善,善調善住,不惱、不怖諸梵行者,是名丈夫第二之德。複次,丈夫次行乞食,隨其所得,若粗、若細,其心平等,不嫌、不著,是名丈夫第三之德。複次,丈夫心生厭離於身惡業,口、意惡業,惡不善法及諸煩惱,重受諸有熾然苦報,于未來世生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,增其厭離,是名丈夫第四之德。複次,丈夫若有沙門過,諂曲不實,速告大師及善知識,大師說法則時除斷,是名丈夫第五之德。複次,丈夫學心具足,作如是念:『設使餘人學以不學,我悉當學。』是名丈夫第六之德。複次,丈夫行八正道,不行非道,是名丈夫第七之德。複次,丈夫乃至盡壽,精勤方便,不厭不倦,是名丈夫第八之德

現代漢語譯本:再者,良馬的各種狀態很快就會被馴馬者發現,馬師加以調教,很快就能去除這些狀態,這稱為良馬的第五種品德。再者,良馬安於駕乘,不顧及其他馬匹,根據駕乘的輕重,能盡其所能,這稱為良馬的第六種品德。再者,良馬總是沿著正路行走,不走邪路,這稱為良馬的第七種品德。再者,良馬即使生病或年老,也會勉力駕乘,不厭倦,這稱為良馬的第八種品德。 如此,如果一個丈夫在正法和戒律方面成就了八種品德,應當知道他是賢士。哪八種呢?即賢士安住于正戒波羅提木叉的律儀,威儀行止具足,見到細微的罪過,也能心生畏懼,受持學習戒律,這稱為丈夫在正法和戒律方面的第一種品德。再者,丈夫天性賢善,善於調伏自己,安住于善,不惱害、不恐嚇其他修行者,這稱為丈夫的第二種品德。再者,丈夫依次乞食,無論得到粗糙的還是精細的食物,內心都平等對待,不嫌棄、不執著,這稱為丈夫的第三種品德。再者,丈夫內心厭離身體的惡業、口和意的惡業、不善的法以及各種煩惱,深知會因此遭受諸有熾熱的苦報,對於未來世的生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,更加厭離,這稱為丈夫的第四種品德。再者,丈夫如果犯了沙門的過失,有諂媚虛偽的行為,會立即告訴大師和善知識,大師說法后,就能及時斷除這些過失,這稱為丈夫的第五種品德。再者,丈夫具有好學的精神,並這樣想:『即使其他人學或不學,我都要學習。』這稱為丈夫的第六種品德。再者,丈夫奉行八正道,不走邪路,這稱為丈夫的第七種品德。再者,丈夫乃至生命終結,都精勤努力,不厭倦,這稱為丈夫的第八種品德。

English version: Furthermore, the various states of a good horse are quickly noticed by the horse trainer, and the trainer, through training, quickly eliminates these states. This is called the fifth virtue of a good horse. Furthermore, a good horse is comfortable with being ridden, does not pay attention to other horses, and exerts its full strength according to the weight of the rider. This is called the sixth virtue of a good horse. Furthermore, a good horse always follows the right path and does not follow the wrong path. This is called the seventh virtue of a good horse. Furthermore, a good horse, even if sick or old, will strive to be ridden without weariness. This is called the eighth virtue of a good horse. Thus, if a man has achieved eight virtues in the Dharma and Vinaya, he should be known as a virtuous man. What are the eight? That is, a virtuous man abides in the precepts of the Pratimoksha, his conduct is complete, he is fearful of even the smallest offenses, and he upholds and learns the precepts. This is called the first virtue of a man in the Dharma and Vinaya. Furthermore, a man is naturally virtuous, well-tamed, and dwells in goodness, not harming or frightening other practitioners. This is called the second virtue of a man. Furthermore, a man goes begging for food, and whatever he receives, whether coarse or fine, he treats with equanimity, without dislike or attachment. This is called the third virtue of a man. Furthermore, a man is disgusted with the evil deeds of the body, the evil deeds of speech and mind, unwholesome dharmas, and various afflictions, knowing that he will suffer the burning pain of existence. He is even more disgusted with the birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering of future lives. This is called the fourth virtue of a man. Furthermore, if a man commits a monastic offense, or has deceitful and false behavior, he will immediately tell the master and good teachers. After the master explains the Dharma, he can immediately eliminate these offenses. This is called the fifth virtue of a man. Furthermore, a man has a studious mind and thinks, 'Even if others learn or do not learn, I will learn.' This is called the sixth virtue of a man. Furthermore, a man practices the Eightfold Path and does not follow the wrong path. This is called the seventh virtue of a man. Furthermore, a man, until the end of his life, is diligent and does not weary. This is called the eighth virtue of a man.


。如是丈夫八德成就,隨其行地,能速升進。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九二六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住那梨聚落深谷精舍。

爾時,世尊告詵陀迦旃延:「當修真實禪,莫習強良禪,如強良馬,系槽櫪上,彼馬不念:『我所應作、所不應作。』但念穀草。如是,丈夫于貪慾纏多所修習故,彼以貪慾心思惟,于出離道不如實知,心常馳騁,隨貪慾纏而求正受;瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑多修習故,于出離道不如實知,以疑蓋心思惟,以求正受。

「詵陀!若真生馬系槽櫪上,不念水草,但作是念:『駕乘之事。』如是,丈夫不念貪慾纏,住于出離如實知,不以貪慾纏而求正受,亦不瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑纏,多住于出離;瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑纏如實知,不以疑纏而求正受。

「如是,詵陀!比丘如是禪者,不依地修禪,不依水、火、風、空、識、無所有、非想非非想而修禪。不依此世、不依他世,非日、月,非見、聞、覺、識,非得非求,非隨覺,非隨觀而修禪

現代漢語譯本:如果丈夫具備八種美德,並按照這些美德去實踐,就能迅速提升自己的境界。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 (九二六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在名叫那梨的村落的深谷精舍。 那時,世尊告訴詵陀迦旃延:『應當修習真實的禪定,不要修習像劣馬一樣的禪定。就像劣馬被拴在馬槽上,它不會想:『我應該做什麼,不應該做什麼。』它只想著穀草。同樣,如果一個人經常修習貪慾的束縛,他就會用貪慾的心去思考,對於解脫之道不能如實地瞭解,心總是奔波不定,隨著貪慾的束縛而尋求正確的感受;如果經常修習嗔恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑惑的束縛,對於解脫之道也不能如實地瞭解,用疑惑的心去思考,從而尋求正確的感受。 『詵陀!如果一匹真正的良馬被拴在馬槽上,它不會想著水草,只會想著:『駕車的事情。』同樣,如果一個人不執著于貪慾的束縛,安住于解脫之道並如實地瞭解,就不會用貪慾的束縛去尋求正確的感受,也不會執著于嗔恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑惑的束縛,而是更多地安住于解脫之道;對於嗔恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑惑的束縛如實地瞭解,不會用疑惑的束縛去尋求正確的感受。 『像這樣,詵陀!比丘如果這樣修習禪定,就不會依賴於地來修禪,也不會依賴於水、火、風、空、識、無所有、非想非非想來修禪。不依賴於此世,不依賴於他世,不依賴於太陽、月亮,不依賴於見、聞、覺、識,不依賴於得到或尋求,不依賴於隨覺,不依賴於隨觀來修禪。』

English version: If a husband possesses the eight virtues and practices them accordingly, he can quickly advance his spiritual state. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them. (926) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deep Valley Monastery in the village of Narī. Then, the World Honored One said to Sīndha Kātyāyana: 'You should practice true meditation, not the meditation of a poor horse. Just as a poor horse is tied to a manger, it does not think: 'What I should do, what I should not do.' It only thinks of grain and grass. Likewise, if a man frequently practices the fetters of desire, he will think with a mind of desire, and will not truly understand the path of liberation. His mind is always restless, seeking right feelings according to the fetters of desire; if he frequently practices the fetters of anger, sleepiness, restlessness, and doubt, he will not truly understand the path of liberation, thinking with a mind of doubt, thereby seeking right feelings.' 'Sīndha! If a true thoroughbred horse is tied to a manger, it does not think of water and grass, but only thinks: 'The matter of being harnessed.' Likewise, if a man does not cling to the fetters of desire, dwells in liberation and truly understands it, he will not seek right feelings with the fetters of desire, nor will he cling to the fetters of anger, sleepiness, restlessness, and doubt, but will dwell more in liberation; truly understanding the fetters of anger, sleepiness, restlessness, and doubt, he will not seek right feelings with the fetters of doubt.' 'Thus, Sīndha! If a monk meditates in this way, he will not rely on earth to meditate, nor will he rely on water, fire, wind, space, consciousness, nothingness, or neither perception nor non-perception to meditate. He does not rely on this world, nor does he rely on another world, nor on the sun or moon, nor on seeing, hearing, feeling, or knowing, nor on gaining or seeking, nor on following awareness, nor on following observation to meditate.'


「詵陀!比丘如是修禪者,諸天主、伊濕波羅、波阇波提恭敬合掌,稽首作禮而說偈言:

「『南無大士夫,  南無士之上,   以我不能知,  依何而禪定?』」

爾時,有尊者跋迦利住于佛后,執扇扇佛。時,跋迦利白佛言:「世尊!若比丘云何入禪,而不依地、水、火、風,乃至覺觀,而修禪定?云何比丘禪,諸天主、伊濕波羅、波阇波提合掌恭敬,稽首作禮而說偈言:

「『南無大士夫,  南無士之上,   以我不能知,  依何而禪定?』」

佛告跋迦利:「比丘于地想能伏地想,於水、火、風想、無量空入處想、識入處想、無所有入處、非想非非想入處想。此世他世,日、月、見、聞、覺、識,若得若求,若覺若觀,悉伏彼想。跋迦利!比丘如是禪者,不依地、水、火、風,乃至不依覺、觀而修禪。跋迦利!比丘如是禪者,諸天主、伊濕波羅、波阇波提恭敬合掌,稽首作禮而說偈言:

「『南無大士夫,  南無士之上,   以我不能知,  何所依而禪?』」

佛說此經時,詵陀迦旃延比丘遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。跋迦利比丘不起諸漏,心得解脫。

佛說此經已,跋迦利比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本: 『詵陀!當比丘這樣修習禪定時,諸天之主、伊濕波羅、波阇波提會恭敬地合掌,稽首作禮,並說偈頌: 『禮敬偉大的士夫,禮敬士夫中的至尊,因為我們無法得知,他是依據什麼而入禪定的?』 當時,有尊者跋迦利站在佛陀身後,拿著扇子為佛陀扇風。這時,跋迦利對佛陀說:『世尊!如果比丘如何入禪,而不依賴地、水、火、風,乃至覺觀,而修習禪定?什麼樣的比丘禪定,能讓諸天之主、伊濕波羅、波阇波提合掌恭敬,稽首作禮,並說偈頌: 『禮敬偉大的士夫,禮敬士夫中的至尊,因為我們無法得知,他是依據什麼而入禪定的?』 佛陀告訴跋迦利:『比丘對於地想能夠降伏地想,對於水、火、風想、無量空入處想、識入處想、無所有入處、非想非非想入處想,對於此世他世,日、月、見、聞、覺、識,凡是能得到、能尋求、能覺察、能觀察的,都降伏這些想法。跋迦利!比丘這樣禪定,不依賴地、水、火、風,乃至不依賴覺、觀而修習禪定。跋迦利!比丘這樣禪定,諸天之主、伊濕波羅、波阇波提會恭敬地合掌,稽首作禮,並說偈頌: 『禮敬偉大的士夫,禮敬士夫中的至尊,因為我們無法得知,他是依據什麼而入禪定的?』 佛陀宣說此經時,詵陀迦旃延比丘遠離塵垢,獲得法眼清凈。跋迦利比丘不起諸漏,心得解脫。 佛陀說完此經后,跋迦利比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

English version: 『Saindha! When a bhikkhu practices meditation in this way, the lords of the gods, Isvara, and Pajapati, respectfully join their palms, bow their heads in reverence, and speak these verses: 『Homage to the great man, homage to the supreme among men, for we cannot know, upon what does he rely to meditate?』 At that time, the venerable Bakkali was standing behind the Buddha, fanning him with a fan. Then, Bakkali said to the Buddha: 『Venerable Sir! How does a bhikkhu enter meditation without relying on earth, water, fire, wind, or even perception and thought, and practice meditation? What kind of bhikkhu's meditation causes the lords of the gods, Isvara, and Pajapati to respectfully join their palms, bow their heads in reverence, and speak these verses: 『Homage to the great man, homage to the supreme among men, for we cannot know, upon what does he rely to meditate?』 The Buddha said to Bakkali: 『A bhikkhu is able to subdue the perception of earth with the perception of earth, and the perceptions of water, fire, wind, the sphere of infinite space, the sphere of infinite consciousness, the sphere of nothingness, and the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception. He subdues all perceptions of this world and the other world, the sun, the moon, seeing, hearing, feeling, and knowing, whether they are attained, sought, perceived, or observed. Bakkali! A bhikkhu who meditates in this way does not rely on earth, water, fire, wind, or even perception and thought to practice meditation. Bakkali! A bhikkhu who meditates in this way causes the lords of the gods, Isvara, and Pajapati to respectfully join their palms, bow their heads in reverence, and speak these verses: 『Homage to the great man, homage to the supreme among men, for we cannot know, upon what does he rely to meditate?』 When the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Saindhakaccayana was freed from defilement and obtained the pure eye of the Dharma. The bhikkhu Bakkali was freed from all outflows, and his mind was liberated. After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhu Bakkali, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.


(九二七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。

時,有釋種名摩訶男,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!云何名為優婆塞?」

佛告摩訶男:「在家清白修習凈住,男相成就,作是說言:『我今盡壽歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧,為優婆塞,證知我!』是名優婆塞。」

摩訶男白佛言:「世尊!云何名為優婆塞信具足?」

佛告摩訶男:「優婆塞者,于如來所正信為本,堅固難動,諸沙門、婆羅門、諸天、魔、梵,及余世間所不能壞。摩訶男!是名優婆塞信具足。」

摩訶男白佛言:「世尊!云何名優婆塞戒具足?」

佛告摩訶男:「優婆塞離殺生、不與取、邪淫、妄語、飲酒,不樂作。摩訶男!是名優婆塞戒具足。」

摩訶男白佛言:「世尊!云何名優婆塞聞具足?」

佛告摩訶男:「優婆塞聞具足者,聞則能持,聞則積集,若佛所說初、中、后善,善義善味,純一滿凈,梵行清白,悉能受持。摩訶男!是名優婆塞聞具足

現代漢語譯本: (九二七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。 當時,有一位名叫摩訶男的釋迦族人,來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!什麼叫做優婆塞呢?』 佛陀告訴摩訶男:『在家清凈修行,保持男性的身份,並這樣說:』我今生盡頭都皈依佛、皈依法、皈依比丘僧,成為優婆塞,請您證明我!『這就叫做優婆塞。』 摩訶男問佛陀:『世尊!什麼叫做優婆塞的信心具足呢?』 佛陀告訴摩訶男:『優婆塞以對如來的正信為根本,堅定不移,任何沙門、婆羅門、諸天、魔、梵,以及其他世間眾生都不能動搖。摩訶男!這就叫做優婆塞的信心具足。』 摩訶男問佛陀:『世尊!什麼叫做優婆塞的戒律具足呢?』 佛陀告訴摩訶男:『優婆塞遠離殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語、不飲酒,不樂於做這些事。摩訶男!這就叫做優婆塞的戒律具足。』 摩訶男問佛陀:『世尊!什麼叫做優婆塞的聞法具足呢?』 佛陀告訴摩訶男:『優婆塞的聞法具足,是指聽聞佛法后能夠受持,能夠積累,如果佛陀所說的初善、中善、后善,意義美好,味道純正,圓滿清凈,梵行清白,都能夠接受並奉行。摩訶男!這就叫做優婆塞的聞法具足。』

English version: (927) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu. Then, a Sakyan named Mahanama came to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is called an Upasaka?' The Buddha said to Mahanama, 'One who, while living at home, practices purity and maintains the male form, and says, 'I take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha of monks for the rest of my life, becoming an Upasaka, bear witness to me!' This is called an Upasaka.' Mahanama asked the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is called an Upasaka's perfection of faith?' The Buddha said to Mahanama, 'An Upasaka's faith is rooted in right faith in the Tathagata, firm and unshakeable, not to be destroyed by any Samana, Brahmin, Deva, Mara, Brahma, or any other being in the world. Mahanama, this is called an Upasaka's perfection of faith.' Mahanama asked the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is called an Upasaka's perfection of precepts?' The Buddha said to Mahanama, 'An Upasaka abstains from killing, taking what is not given, sexual misconduct, false speech, and drinking intoxicants, and does not delight in doing these things. Mahanama, this is called an Upasaka's perfection of precepts.' Mahanama asked the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is called an Upasaka's perfection of learning?' The Buddha said to Mahanama, 'An Upasaka's perfection of learning means that upon hearing the Dharma, one is able to retain it, to accumulate it. If the Buddha speaks of what is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with good meaning and good taste, pure and complete, and the holy life is pure, one is able to receive and uphold it. Mahanama, this is called an Upasaka's perfection of learning.'


。」

摩訶男白佛言:「世尊!云何名優婆塞舍具足?」

佛告摩訶男:「優婆塞舍具足者,為慳垢所纏者,心離慳垢,住于非家,修解脫施、勤施、常施,樂舍財物,平等佈施。摩訶男!是名優婆塞舍具足。」

摩訶男白佛言:「世尊!云何名優婆塞智慧具足?」

佛告摩訶男:「優婆塞智慧具足者,謂此苦如實知,此苦集如實知,此苦滅如實知,此苦滅道跡如實知。摩訶男!是名優婆塞慧具足。」

爾時,釋氏摩訶男聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起,作禮而去。

(九二八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。

爾時,釋氏摩訶男與五百優婆塞來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!云何名優婆塞?」

佛告摩訶男:「優婆塞者,在家凈住,乃至盡壽,歸依三寶,為優婆塞,證知我!」

摩訶男白佛言:「世尊!云何名優婆塞須陀洹?」

佛告摩訶男:「優婆塞須陀洹者,三結已斷已知,謂身見、戒取、疑。摩訶男!是名優婆塞須陀洹。」

摩訶男白佛言:「世尊!云何名優婆塞斯陀含?」

佛告摩訶男:「謂優婆塞三結已斷已知,貪、恚、癡薄。摩訶男!是名優婆塞斯陀含

摩訶男對佛說:『世尊!什麼叫做優婆塞的舍具足?』 佛告訴摩訶男:『優婆塞的舍具足,是指被慳吝污垢纏縛的人,內心遠離慳吝污垢,不住在家中,修習解脫的佈施、勤勉的佈施、經常的佈施,樂於捨棄財物,平等地佈施。摩訶男!這叫做優婆塞的舍具足。』 摩訶男對佛說:『世尊!什麼叫做優婆塞的智慧具足?』 佛告訴摩訶男:『優婆塞的智慧具足,是指如實地知曉此是苦,如實地知曉此是苦的生起,如實地知曉此是苦的滅盡,如實地知曉此是通往苦滅的道路。摩訶男!這叫做優婆塞的慧具足。』 當時,釋迦族的摩訶男聽聞佛所說,歡喜隨順,從座位起身,向佛作禮后離去。 (九二八) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。 當時,釋迦族的摩訶男與五百位優婆塞來到佛的住所,向佛稽首,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!什麼叫做優婆塞?』 佛告訴摩訶男:『優婆塞,是指在家清凈修行,乃至壽命終盡,皈依三寶,作為優婆塞,請你記住!』 摩訶男對佛說:『世尊!什麼叫做優婆塞須陀洹?』 佛告訴摩訶男:『優婆塞須陀洹,是指已經斷除並知曉了三結,即身見、戒取、疑。摩訶男!這叫做優婆塞須陀洹。』 摩訶男對佛說:『世尊!什麼叫做優婆塞斯陀含?』 佛告訴摩訶男:『是指優婆塞已經斷除並知曉了三結,貪、嗔、癡也變得淡薄。摩訶男!這叫做優婆塞斯陀含。』

Mahānāma said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is meant by a lay disciple's perfection in giving?' The Buddha told Mahānāma, 'A lay disciple's perfection in giving means that one who is entangled by the defilement of stinginess, their mind is free from the defilement of stinginess, they do not dwell at home, they practice giving that leads to liberation, diligent giving, constant giving, they delight in giving away possessions, and they give equally. Mahānāma, this is called a lay disciple's perfection in giving.' Mahānāma said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is meant by a lay disciple's perfection in wisdom?' The Buddha told Mahānāma, 'A lay disciple's perfection in wisdom means that one truly knows this is suffering, truly knows this is the arising of suffering, truly knows this is the cessation of suffering, and truly knows this is the path leading to the cessation of suffering. Mahānāma, this is called a lay disciple's perfection in wisdom.' At that time, Mahānāma of the Sakyas, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and was pleased, rose from his seat, paid homage, and departed. (928) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu. At that time, Mahānāma of the Sakyas, along with five hundred lay disciples, came to where the Buddha was, bowed their heads at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. They said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is meant by a lay disciple?' The Buddha told Mahānāma, 'A lay disciple is one who lives a pure life at home, until the end of their life, takes refuge in the Three Jewels, and is known as a lay disciple. Remember this!' Mahānāma said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is meant by a lay disciple who is a Stream-enterer?' The Buddha told Mahānāma, 'A lay disciple who is a Stream-enterer is one who has already abandoned and understood the three fetters, namely self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, and doubt. Mahānāma, this is called a lay disciple who is a Stream-enterer.' Mahānāma said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is meant by a lay disciple who is a Once-returner?' The Buddha told Mahānāma, 'It means that a lay disciple has already abandoned and understood the three fetters, and their greed, hatred, and delusion have become weakened. Mahānāma, this is called a lay disciple who is a Once-returner.'

摩訶男白佛言:「世尊!云何名優婆塞阿那含?」

佛告摩訶男:「優婆塞阿那含者,五下分結已斷已知,謂身見、戒取、疑、貪慾、瞋恚。摩訶男!是名優婆塞阿那含。」

時,摩訶男釋氏顧視五百優婆塞,而作是言:「奇哉!諸優婆塞,在家清白,乃得如是深妙功德。」

時,摩訶男優婆塞聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起,作禮而去。

(九二九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。

爾時,釋氏摩訶男來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!云何名優婆塞?」

佛告摩訶男:「優婆塞者,在家清白,乃至盡壽,歸依三寶,為優婆塞,證知我!」

摩訶男白佛:「世尊!云何為滿足一切優婆塞事?」

佛告摩訶男:「若優婆塞有信無戒,是則不具,當勤方便,具足凈戒。具足信、戒而不施者,是則不具;以不具故,精勤方便,修習佈施,令其具足滿。信、戒、施滿,不能隨時往詣沙門,聽受正法,是則不具;以不具故,精勤方便,隨時往詣塔寺,見諸沙門,不一心聽受正法,是不具足。信、戒、施、聞修習滿足,聞已不持,是不具足;以不具足故,精勤方便,隨時往詣沙門,專心聽法,聞則能持

現代漢語譯本: 摩訶男對佛說:『世尊!什麼叫做優婆塞阿那含?』 佛告訴摩訶男:『優婆塞阿那含,是指已經斷除並了知五下分結的人,這五下分結是指身見、戒取、疑、貪慾和瞋恚。摩訶男!這就叫做優婆塞阿那含。』 當時,釋迦族的摩訶男環顧五百位優婆塞,說道:『奇妙啊!各位優婆塞,在家修行清凈,竟然能獲得如此深奧微妙的功德。』 當時,摩訶男優婆塞聽了佛所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身,向佛作禮后離去。

(九二九) 我聽到是這樣: 一時,佛住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。 當時,釋迦族的摩訶男來到佛的住所,向佛的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!什麼叫做優婆塞?』 佛告訴摩訶男:『優婆塞,是指在家修行清凈,乃至終身都皈依三寶的人,這樣的人就是優婆塞,請你記住!』 摩訶男對佛說:『世尊!怎樣才算是圓滿了一切優婆塞的修行?』 佛告訴摩訶男:『如果優婆塞有信心卻沒有持戒,這就是不圓滿,應當勤奮努力,使自己具足清凈的戒律。如果具足信心和戒律卻不佈施,這也是不圓滿;因為不圓滿,所以要精勤努力,修習佈施,使自己圓滿。如果信心、戒律和佈施都圓滿,卻不能隨時前往沙門處聽聞正法,這也是不圓滿;因為不圓滿,所以要精勤努力,隨時前往寺廟,拜見沙門,但不能一心聽聞正法,這也是不圓滿。如果信心、戒律、佈施和聽聞都修習圓滿,聽了卻不能受持,這也是不圓滿;因為不圓滿,所以要精勤努力,隨時前往沙門處,專心聽法,聽了就能受持。

English version: Mahānāma said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is called a 'Upāsaka Anāgāmin'?' The Buddha told Mahānāma, 'An Upāsaka Anāgāmin is one who has already severed and understood the five lower fetters, namely, self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, doubt, sensual desire, and ill-will. Mahānāma, this is called an Upāsaka Anāgāmin.' At that time, Mahānāma of the Shakyas looked at the five hundred Upāsakas and said, 'How wonderful! You Upāsakas, practicing purity at home, have attained such profound and subtle merits.' Then, the Upāsaka Mahānāma, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, and departed.

(929) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu. Then, Mahānāma of the Shakyas came to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is called an Upāsaka?' The Buddha told Mahānāma, 'An Upāsaka is one who practices purity at home, and even until the end of their life, takes refuge in the Three Jewels. Such a person is an Upāsaka, know this!' Mahānāma said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, how does one fulfill all the duties of an Upāsaka?' The Buddha told Mahānāma, 'If an Upāsaka has faith but does not observe the precepts, this is incomplete. One should diligently strive to fulfill the pure precepts. If one fulfills faith and precepts but does not give alms, this is incomplete; because it is incomplete, one should diligently strive to practice giving, so that it is fulfilled. If faith, precepts, and giving are fulfilled, but one cannot go to the monks to hear the Dharma at the appropriate times, this is incomplete; because it is incomplete, one should diligently strive to go to the monasteries at the appropriate times, see the monks, but if one does not listen to the Dharma with a focused mind, this is incomplete. If faith, precepts, giving, and listening are fulfilled, but one does not uphold what one has heard, this is incomplete; because it is incomplete, one should diligently strive to go to the monks at the appropriate times, listen to the Dharma with a focused mind, and then be able to uphold what one has heard.'


。不能觀察諸法深義,是不具足;不具足故,精勤方便,信、戒、施、聞,聞則能持,持已,觀察甚深妙義,而不隨順知法次法向,是則不具,以不具故,精勤方便,信、戒、施、聞,受持觀察,了達深義,隨順行法次法向。摩訶男!是名滿足一切種優婆塞事。」

摩訶男白佛:「世尊!云何名優婆塞能自安慰,不安慰他?」

佛告摩訶男:「若優婆塞能自立戒,不能令他立於正戒;自持凈戒,不能令他持戒具足;自行佈施,不能以施建立於他;自詣塔寺見諸沙門,不能勸他令詣塔寺往見沙門;自專聽法,不能勸人樂聽正法;聞法自持,不能令他受持正法;自能觀察甚深妙義,不能勸人令觀深義;自知深法能隨順行法次法向,不能勸人令隨順行法次法向。摩訶男!如是八法成就者,是名優婆塞能自安慰,不安慰他。」

摩訶男白佛:「世尊!優婆塞成就幾法自安安他?」

佛告摩訶男:「若優婆塞成就十六法者,是名優婆塞自安安他

現代漢語譯本:不能領悟諸法深奧的含義,這是不完備的;因為不完備,即使精勤努力,在信、戒、佈施、聽聞方面,聽聞后能夠受持,受持后,觀察甚深微妙的含義,卻不能按照正法、次法的方向去實踐,這也是不完備的。因為不完備,即使精勤努力,在信、戒、佈施、聽聞方面,受持並觀察,領悟深奧的含義,並按照正法、次法的方向去實踐。摩訶男!這才是圓滿一切優婆塞應做的事情。 摩訶男問佛:『世尊!什麼叫做優婆塞能自我安慰,卻不能安慰他人?』 佛告訴摩訶男:『如果優婆塞能夠自己持守戒律,卻不能使他人也持守正戒;自己持守清凈的戒律,卻不能使他人也持戒圓滿;自己實行佈施,卻不能用佈施來引導他人;自己去佛塔寺廟拜見沙門,卻不能勸他人也去佛塔寺廟拜見沙門;自己專心聽聞佛法,卻不能勸人樂於聽聞正法;聽聞佛法后自己受持,卻不能使他人也受持正法;自己能夠觀察深奧微妙的含義,卻不能勸人也去觀察深奧的含義;自己明白深奧的佛法並能按照正法、次法的方向去實踐,卻不能勸人也按照正法、次法的方向去實踐。摩訶男!像這樣成就八種法的人,就叫做優婆塞能自我安慰,卻不能安慰他人。』 摩訶男問佛:『世尊!優婆塞成就幾種法才能既安慰自己又能安慰他人?』 佛告訴摩訶男:『如果優婆塞成就十六種法,就叫做優婆塞既能安慰自己又能安慰他人。』

English version: Not being able to observe the profound meaning of all dharmas is incompleteness; because of this incompleteness, even with diligent effort in faith, precepts, giving, and listening, one may be able to uphold what is heard, and having upheld it, observe the profound and subtle meaning, but not follow the path of the Dharma and the secondary Dharma. This is also incompleteness. Because of this incompleteness, even with diligent effort in faith, precepts, giving, and listening, one may uphold and observe, understand the profound meaning, and follow the path of the Dharma and the secondary Dharma. Mahānāma! This is called fulfilling all the duties of an Upāsaka. Mahānāma asked the Buddha: 'Venerable One! What is called an Upāsaka who can comfort himself but not others?' The Buddha told Mahānāma: 'If an Upāsaka can establish himself in precepts but cannot lead others to establish themselves in the right precepts; if he himself upholds pure precepts but cannot lead others to uphold precepts completely; if he himself practices giving but cannot establish others in giving; if he himself goes to pagodas and temples to see the Śramaṇas but cannot encourage others to go to pagodas and temples to see the Śramaṇas; if he himself is devoted to listening to the Dharma but cannot encourage others to enjoy listening to the right Dharma; if he himself upholds the Dharma after hearing it but cannot lead others to uphold the right Dharma; if he himself can observe the profound and subtle meaning but cannot encourage others to observe the profound meaning; if he himself understands the profound Dharma and can follow the path of the Dharma and the secondary Dharma but cannot encourage others to follow the path of the Dharma and the secondary Dharma. Mahānāma! One who has accomplished these eight qualities is called an Upāsaka who can comfort himself but not others.' Mahānāma asked the Buddha: 'Venerable One! How many qualities must an Upāsaka accomplish to comfort both himself and others?' The Buddha told Mahānāma: 'If an Upāsaka accomplishes sixteen qualities, he is called an Upāsaka who can comfort both himself and others.'


。何等為十六?摩訶男!若優婆塞具足正信,建立他人;自持凈戒,亦以凈戒建立他人;自行佈施,教人行施;自詣塔寺見諸沙門,亦教人往見諸沙門;自專聽法,亦教人聽;自受持法,教人受持;自觀察義,教人觀察;自知深義,隨順修行法次法向,亦復教人解了深義,隨順修行法次法向。摩訶男!如是十六法成就者,是名優婆塞能自安慰,亦安慰他人。

「摩訶男!若優婆塞成就如是十六法者,彼諸大眾悉詣其所,謂婆羅門眾、剎利眾、長者眾、沙門眾,于諸眾中威德顯曜。譬如日輪,初、中及后,光明顯照。如是,優婆塞十六法成就者,初、中及后,威德顯照。如是,摩訶男!若優婆塞十六法成就者,世間難得。」

佛說此經已,釋氏摩訶男聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,即從坐起,作禮而去。

(九三〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。

爾時,釋氏摩訶男來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!此迦毗羅衛國安隱豐樂,人民熾盛,我每出入時,眾多羽從,狂象、狂人、狂乘常與是俱。我自恐與此諸狂俱生俱死,忘于唸佛、念法、念比丘僧

現代漢語譯本:什麼是十六種法?摩訶男!如果一個優婆塞具備正確的信仰,並能引導他人建立信仰;自己持守清凈的戒律,也能用清凈的戒律來引導他人;自己實行佈施,也教導他人行佈施;自己前往佛塔寺廟拜見沙門,也教導他人前往拜見沙門;自己專心聽聞佛法,也教導他人聽聞佛法;自己受持佛法,也教導他人受持佛法;自己觀察佛法的義理,也教導他人觀察佛法的義理;自己理解佛法的深奧含義,並依照佛法次第修行,也教導他人理解佛法的深奧含義,並依照佛法次第修行。摩訶男!像這樣成就十六種法的優婆塞,可以自我安慰,也可以安慰他人。 摩訶男!如果一個優婆塞成就了這十六種法,那麼所有的大眾都會來到他身邊,包括婆羅門眾、剎帝利眾、長者眾、沙門眾,他在這些大眾中會顯得威德顯赫,就像太陽一樣,初升、正午和日落時都光明顯耀。同樣,一個成就十六種法的優婆塞,在初、中、后都會威德顯耀。摩訶男!像這樣成就十六種法的優婆塞,在世間是很難得的。 佛陀說完這部經后,釋迦族的摩訶男聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,立即從座位上站起來,向佛陀行禮后離開了。 (九三〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。 當時,釋迦族的摩訶男來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀頂禮,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!這個迦毗羅衛國安穩富足,人民興盛,我每次出入時,都有許多隨從,而且經常與發狂的大象、發狂的人、發狂的車輛在一起。我擔心自己會和這些發狂的事物一起生一起死,以至於忘記了唸佛、念法、念比丘僧。』

English version: What are the sixteen qualities? Mahānāma! If a lay follower possesses right faith and establishes it in others; maintains pure precepts and also establishes others in pure precepts; practices giving and teaches others to give; personally visits stupas and monasteries to see the ascetics and also teaches others to visit the ascetics; diligently listens to the Dharma and also teaches others to listen; upholds the Dharma and teaches others to uphold it; contemplates the meaning of the Dharma and teaches others to contemplate it; understands the profound meaning of the Dharma and practices accordingly, following the Dharma in its proper order, and also teaches others to understand the profound meaning of the Dharma and practice accordingly, following the Dharma in its proper order. Mahānāma! A lay follower who has achieved these sixteen qualities is able to comfort himself and also comfort others. Mahānāma! If a lay follower achieves these sixteen qualities, all the assemblies will come to him, including Brahmins, Kshatriyas, elders, and ascetics. He will shine with dignity and virtue among these assemblies, just like the sun, which shines brightly at dawn, noon, and dusk. Similarly, a lay follower who has achieved these sixteen qualities will shine with dignity and virtue at the beginning, middle, and end. Mahānāma! A lay follower who has achieved these sixteen qualities is rare in the world. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Mahānāma of the Shakya clan, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted. He immediately rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, and departed. (930) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu. Then, Mahānāma of the Shakya clan came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to his feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir! This Kapilavastu is peaceful and prosperous, and the people are flourishing. Whenever I go out, I am accompanied by many attendants, and I am often with mad elephants, mad people, and mad vehicles. I fear that I will be born and die with these mad things, and I forget to contemplate the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha of monks.'


。我自思惟,命終之時,當生何處?」

佛告摩訶男:「莫恐,莫怖,命終之後,不生惡趣,終亦無惡。譬如大樹,順下、順注、順輸,若截根本,當墮何處?」

摩訶男白佛:「隨彼順下、順注、順輸。」

佛告摩訶男:「汝亦如是,若命終時,不生惡趣,終亦無惡。所以者何?汝已長夜修習唸佛、念法、念僧,若命終時,此身若火燒,若棄冢間,風飄日曝,久成塵末,而心意識久遠長夜正信所熏,戒、施、聞、慧所熏,神識上升,向安樂處,未來生天。」

時,摩訶男聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(九三一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。

爾時,釋氏摩訶男來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!若比丘在於學地,求所未得,上升進道,安隱涅槃。世尊!彼當云何修習,多修習住,於此法、律得諸漏盡,無漏心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』?」

佛告摩訶男:「若比丘在於學地,求所未得,上升進道,安隱涅槃,彼于爾時,當修六念,乃至進得涅槃。譬如饑人,身體羸瘦,得美味食,身體肥澤

現代漢語譯本:我心中思忖,當生命終結之時,我將往生何處? 佛陀告訴摩訶男:『不要恐懼,不要害怕,你命終之後,不會墮入惡道,最終也不會有惡報。譬如一棵大樹,順著下方、順著傾斜、順著倒伏的方向生長,如果砍斷它的根,它會倒向何處?』 摩訶男回答佛陀:『會順著它下方、傾斜、倒伏的方向倒下。』 佛陀告訴摩訶男:『你也像這樣,如果命終之時,不會墮入惡道,最終也不會有惡報。這是為什麼呢?因為你長久以來修習唸佛、念法、念僧,如果命終之時,這身體無論是被火燒,還是被遺棄在墳地,被風吹日曬,最終都會化為塵土,而你的心識卻因長久以來被正信所薰陶,被戒律、佈施、聞法、智慧所薰陶,神識會上升,前往安樂之處,未來會往生天界。』 當時,摩訶男聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (九三一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。 當時,釋迦族的摩訶男來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!如果一位比丘處於學習階段,追求尚未得到的境界,向上精進修行,以求達到安穩的涅槃。世尊!他應當如何修習,如何多加修習,才能在此佛法和戒律中,斷除一切煩惱,獲得無煩惱的心解脫和智慧解脫,在今生就能親自證悟:『我已斷絕生死輪迴,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來世。』?』 佛陀告訴摩訶男:『如果一位比丘處於學習階段,追求尚未得到的境界,向上精進修行,以求達到安穩的涅槃,他應當修習六念,乃至最終證得涅槃。譬如一個飢餓的人,身體虛弱消瘦,得到美味的食物,身體就會變得肥壯。'

English version: 'I pondered to myself, at the time of my death, where will I be reborn?' The Buddha said to Mahanama, 'Do not fear, do not be afraid. After your death, you will not be reborn in a bad realm, and ultimately there will be no evil. It is like a large tree, growing downwards, leaning, and sloping. If its root is cut, where will it fall?' Mahanama replied to the Buddha, 'It will fall in the direction it is growing downwards, leaning, and sloping.' The Buddha said to Mahanama, 'You are also like that. If at the time of your death, you are not reborn in a bad realm, and ultimately there will be no evil. Why is this? Because you have long practiced mindfulness of the Buddha, mindfulness of the Dharma, and mindfulness of the Sangha. If at the time of your death, this body is either burned by fire or abandoned in a graveyard, exposed to wind and sun, it will eventually turn to dust. But your consciousness, having long been imbued with right faith, and imbued with precepts, generosity, learning, and wisdom, will ascend, towards a place of peace and happiness, and in the future, you will be reborn in heaven.' At that time, Mahanama, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted, paid his respects, and departed. (931) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu. Then, Mahanama of the Shakya clan came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to his feet, and sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, if a bhikkhu is in the stage of learning, seeking what has not yet been attained, ascending the path of progress, seeking the peace of Nirvana. Venerable Sir, how should he practice, how should he cultivate, to attain the end of all defilements in this Dharma and discipline, to achieve the undefiled liberation of mind and liberation of wisdom, and to realize for himself in this very life: 'Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done has been done, and I know that there will be no further existence.'?' The Buddha said to Mahanama, 'If a bhikkhu is in the stage of learning, seeking what has not yet been attained, ascending the path of progress, seeking the peace of Nirvana, at that time, he should cultivate the six recollections, and eventually attain Nirvana. It is like a hungry person, whose body is weak and emaciated, who obtains delicious food, and his body becomes plump and strong.'


。如是,比丘住在學地,求所未得,上升進道,安隱涅槃,修六隨念,乃至疾得安隱涅槃。

「何等六念?謂聖弟子念如來事:『如來、應、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊。』聖弟子如是念時,不起貪慾纏,不起瞋恚、愚癡心,其心正直。得如來義,得如來正法,于如來正法、于如來所得隨喜心;隨喜心已,歡悅;歡悅已,身猗息;身猗息已,覺受樂;覺受樂已,其心定;心定已,彼聖弟子于兇險眾生中,無諸掛閡,入法流水,乃至涅槃。

「複次,聖弟子念於法事,世尊法、律,現法能離生死熾然,不待時節,通達現法,緣自覺知。聖弟子如是念法者,不起貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡,乃至念法所熏,升進涅槃。

「複次,聖弟子念于僧事,世尊弟子善向、正向、直向、誠向,行隨順法,有向須陀洹、得須陀洹,向斯陀含、得斯陀含,向阿那含、得阿那含,向阿羅漢、得阿羅漢,此是四雙八輩賢聖,是名世尊弟子僧,凈戒具足、三昧具足、智慧具足、解脫具足、解脫知見具足,所應奉迎,承事供養,為良福田。聖弟子如是念僧事時,不起貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡,乃至念僧所熏,升進涅槃

現代漢語譯本:如此,比丘安住于學地,尋求尚未獲得的成就,向上精進修行,以達安穩的涅槃,修習六種隨念,最終迅速證得安穩的涅槃。 『何為六隨念?』即聖弟子憶念如來的功德:『如來、應供、正等覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊。』聖弟子如此憶念時,不起貪慾的纏縛,不起嗔恚和愚癡之心,其心正直。他領悟如來的真義,領悟如來的正法,對如來的正法和如來所證得的境界生起隨喜之心;隨喜之後,心生歡悅;歡悅之後,身心輕安;身心輕安之後,感受快樂;感受快樂之後,心入禪定;心入禪定之後,這位聖弟子在兇險的眾生中,不再有任何掛礙,進入法流,直至涅槃。 再者,聖弟子憶念佛法的功德,世尊的教法和戒律,能在現世使人脫離生死的熾熱,不需等待時日,就能通達現世的真理,通過自身覺悟而知曉。聖弟子如此憶念佛法時,不起貪慾、嗔恚和愚癡,乃至因憶念佛法而熏習,最終升進涅槃。 再者,聖弟子憶念僧團的功德,世尊的弟子們善於修行、正向修行、直向修行、誠實修行,奉行隨順正法的道路,有向須陀洹果的、得須陀洹果的,有向斯陀含果的、得斯陀含果的,有向阿那含果的、得阿那含果的,有向阿羅漢果的、得阿羅漢果的,這四雙八輩賢聖,被稱為世尊的弟子僧團,他們戒律清凈、禪定具足、智慧具足、解脫具足、解脫知見具足,值得尊敬、承事和供養,是眾生良田。聖弟子如此憶念僧團時,不起貪慾、嗔恚和愚癡,乃至因憶念僧團而熏習,最終升進涅槃。

English version: Thus, a bhikkhu dwelling in the stage of learning, seeking what has not been attained, ascending the path of progress, to the peaceful Nirvana, cultivates the six recollections, and eventually quickly attains peaceful Nirvana. 『What are the six recollections?』 They are when a noble disciple recollects the qualities of the Tathagata: 『The Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, perfect in knowledge and conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Trainer of those to be tamed, the Teacher of gods and humans, the Buddha, the Blessed One.』 When a noble disciple recollects in this way, he does not give rise to the fetter of craving, nor does he give rise to anger or delusion; his mind is upright. He attains the meaning of the Tathagata, attains the true Dharma of the Tathagata, and in the true Dharma of the Tathagata and in what the Tathagata has attained, he generates a joyful heart; having a joyful heart, he is delighted; having delight, his body is tranquil; having bodily tranquility, he experiences pleasure; having pleasure, his mind is concentrated; having a concentrated mind, that noble disciple, among dangerous beings, has no hindrances, enters the stream of the Dharma, and goes on to Nirvana. Furthermore, a noble disciple recollects the qualities of the Dharma, the teaching and discipline of the Blessed One, which in this very life can liberate one from the burning of birth and death, without waiting for time, one can understand the truth in this very life, and know it through one's own realization. When a noble disciple recollects the Dharma in this way, he does not give rise to craving, anger, or delusion, and through the cultivation of recollecting the Dharma, he progresses to Nirvana. Furthermore, a noble disciple recollects the qualities of the Sangha, the disciples of the Blessed One who are practicing well, practicing rightly, practicing directly, practicing honestly, following the path of the Dharma, those who are on the path to stream-entry and those who have attained stream-entry, those who are on the path to once-returning and those who have attained once-returning, those who are on the path to non-returning and those who have attained non-returning, those who are on the path to arahantship and those who have attained arahantship. These four pairs and eight types of noble beings are called the Sangha of the Blessed One's disciples, who are complete in pure conduct, complete in concentration, complete in wisdom, complete in liberation, and complete in the knowledge and vision of liberation. They are worthy of respect, service, and offerings, and are a fertile field of merit. When a noble disciple recollects the Sangha in this way, he does not give rise to craving, anger, or delusion, and through the cultivation of recollecting the Sangha, he progresses to Nirvana.


「複次,聖弟子自念凈戒,不壞戒、不缺戒、不污戒、不雜戒、不他取戒、善護戒、明者稱譽戒、智者不厭戒。聖弟子如是念戒時,不起貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡,乃至念戒所熏,升進涅槃。

「複次,聖弟子自念施事,我得善利,于慳垢眾生中而得離慳垢處,于非家行解脫施,常自手施,樂行舍法,具足等施。聖弟子如是念施時,不起貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡,乃至念施所熏,升進涅槃。

「複次,聖弟子念諸天事,有四大天王、三十三天、㷔摩天、兜率陀天、化樂天、他化自在天。若有正信心者,於此命終,生彼諸天,我亦當行此正信;彼得凈戒、施、聞、舍、慧,於此命終,生彼諸天,我今亦當行此戒、施、聞、慧。聖弟子如是念天事者,不起貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡,其心正直,緣彼諸天。彼聖弟子如是直心者,得深法利、得深義利、得彼諸天饒益隨喜;隨喜已,生欣悅;欣悅已,身猗息;身猗息已,覺受樂;覺受樂已,得心定;心定已,彼聖弟子處兇險眾生中,無諸掛閡,入法水流。念天所熏故,升進涅槃。

「摩訶男!若比丘住于學地,欲求上升安樂涅槃

現代漢語譯本 『再者,聖弟子自念清凈的戒律,不毀壞戒律、不缺漏戒律、不玷污戒律、不混雜戒律、不為他所取戒律、善於守護戒律、為明智者所稱讚的戒律、智者不厭惡的戒律。聖弟子如此憶念戒律時,不起貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡,乃至憶念戒律所熏習,提升至涅槃。 『再者,聖弟子自念佈施之事,我獲得善利,在慳吝垢染的眾生中得以脫離慳吝垢染之處,在非居家生活中行解脫佈施,常常親手佈施,樂於行舍法,具足平等佈施。聖弟子如此憶念佈施時,不起貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡,乃至憶念佈施所熏習,提升至涅槃。 『再者,聖弟子憶念諸天之事,有四大天王、三十三天、焰摩天、兜率陀天、化樂天、他化自在天。若有正信之人,在此命終,生於彼諸天,我也應當行此正信;他們獲得清凈的戒律、佈施、聞法、捨棄、智慧,在此命終,生於彼諸天,我如今也應當行此戒律、佈施、聞法、智慧。聖弟子如此憶念諸天之事,不起貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡,其心正直,緣于彼諸天。彼聖弟子如此心正直,獲得深法之利、獲得深義之利、獲得彼諸天的饒益隨喜;隨喜之後,生起欣悅;欣悅之後,身體安寧;身體安寧之後,感受快樂;感受快樂之後,獲得心定;心定之後,彼聖弟子處在兇險的眾生中,沒有諸多的掛礙,進入法水之流。憶念諸天所熏習的緣故,提升至涅槃。 『摩訶男!若比丘安住于學地,想要尋求上升安樂的涅槃』

English version 'Furthermore, a noble disciple reflects on their pure precepts, precepts that are not broken, not flawed, not defiled, not mixed, not taken by others, well-guarded, praised by the wise, and not disliked by the wise. When a noble disciple reflects on their precepts in this way, they do not give rise to greed, hatred, or delusion, and through the cultivation of these precepts, they progress towards Nirvana. 'Furthermore, a noble disciple reflects on their acts of giving, 'I have gained a good benefit, having detached myself from the stain of stinginess among beings who are stained by stinginess, practicing the giving of liberation in a non-household life, always giving with my own hands, delighting in the practice of relinquishment, and being complete in equal giving.' When a noble disciple reflects on giving in this way, they do not give rise to greed, hatred, or delusion, and through the cultivation of giving, they progress towards Nirvana. 'Furthermore, a noble disciple reflects on the affairs of the devas, the Four Great Kings, the Thirty-three Gods, the Yama Gods, the Tusita Gods, the Nimmanarati Gods, and the Paranimmita Vasavatti Gods. If those with right faith, upon death, are reborn among those devas, I too shall practice this right faith; they obtain pure precepts, giving, learning, relinquishment, and wisdom, and upon death, are reborn among those devas, I too shall now practice these precepts, giving, learning, and wisdom. When a noble disciple reflects on the affairs of the devas in this way, they do not give rise to greed, hatred, or delusion, their mind is upright, focused on those devas. When that noble disciple's mind is upright in this way, they gain the benefit of the profound Dharma, the benefit of the profound meaning, and the benefit of the devas' joy and approval; having approved, they experience joy; having experienced joy, their body is tranquil; having experienced tranquility, they feel pleasure; having felt pleasure, they attain concentration; having attained concentration, that noble disciple, even among dangerous beings, is without any hindrances, and enters the stream of the Dharma. Through the cultivation of the devas, they progress towards Nirvana. 'Mahānāma! If a bhikkhu dwells in the stage of training, desiring to seek the ascent to the bliss of Nirvana.'


。如是多修習,疾得涅槃者,于正法、律速盡諸漏,無漏心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

時,釋氏摩訶男聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起,作禮而去。

(九三二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。時,有眾多比丘集於食堂為世尊縫衣。

時,釋氏摩訶男聞眾多比丘集於食堂為世尊縫衣,世尊不久三月安居訖,作衣竟,持衣缽,人間遊行。聞已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我四體不攝,迷於四方,聞法悉忘。以聞眾多比丘集於食堂為世尊縫衣,世尊不久安居訖,作衣竟,持衣缽,人間遊行,是故我今思惟:『何時當復得見世尊及諸知識比丘?』」

佛告摩訶男:「汝正使見世尊、不見世尊,見諸知識比丘及與不見,但當念於五法,精勤修習。摩訶男!當以正信為主,非不正信;戒具足、聞具足、施具足、慧具足為本,非不智慧。如是,摩訶男!依此五法,修六念處。何等為六?此摩訶男!念如來,當如是念:『如來、應、等正覺,乃至佛世尊。』當念法、僧、戒、施、天事,乃至自行得智慧

現代漢語譯本:如果這樣多多修習,就能迅速證得涅槃,對於正法和戒律,能快速斷盡所有煩惱,達到無煩惱的心解脫和智慧解脫,在今生就能親自體驗並證實:『我已經了斷生死,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的都已做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 當時,釋迦族的摩訶男聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身,向佛陀行禮后離去。 (九三二) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。當時,有很多比丘聚集在食堂為世尊縫製衣服。 當時,釋迦族的摩訶男聽到很多比丘聚集在食堂為世尊縫製衣服,世尊不久就要結束三個月的安居,做完衣服后,將拿著衣缽,在人間游化。聽到這些后,他前往佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我感到身體不適,心神迷亂,聽到的佛法都忘記了。因為聽到很多比丘聚集在食堂為世尊縫製衣服,世尊不久就要結束安居,做完衣服后,將拿著衣缽,在人間游化,所以我現在在想:『什麼時候才能再次見到世尊和各位熟悉的比丘呢?』 佛陀告訴摩訶男:『你是否見到世尊,是否見到各位熟悉的比丘,這並不重要,重要的是要專注于修習五種法。摩訶男!要以正信為根本,而不是不正信;要以戒律圓滿、聽聞圓滿、佈施圓滿、智慧圓滿為根本,而不是沒有智慧。這樣,摩訶男!依靠這五種法,修習六種憶念處。哪六種呢?摩訶男!憶念如來,應當這樣憶念:『如來、應供、正等覺,乃至佛世尊。』應當憶念佛法、僧團、戒律、佈施、天道,乃至通過修行獲得智慧。

English version: If one cultivates in this way, one will quickly attain Nirvana. Regarding the Dharma and the Vinaya, one will quickly exhaust all defilements, achieving defilement-free liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom. In this very life, one will realize and testify: 'Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.' Then, the Sakyan Mahanama, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased. He rose from his seat, paid homage, and departed. (932) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu. At that time, many monks had gathered in the refectory to sew robes for the Blessed One. Then, the Sakyan Mahanama heard that many monks had gathered in the refectory to sew robes for the Blessed One, and that the Blessed One would soon conclude his three-month retreat, and after finishing the robes, would take his bowl and robe and wander among the people. Having heard this, he went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, my body is unwell, I am confused in all directions, and I forget the Dharma I have heard. Because I heard that many monks had gathered in the refectory to sew robes for the Blessed One, and that the Blessed One would soon conclude his retreat, and after finishing the robes, would take his bowl and robe and wander among the people, I am now thinking: 'When will I be able to see the Blessed One and the familiar monks again?'' The Buddha said to Mahanama: 'Whether you see the Blessed One or not, whether you see the familiar monks or not, you should focus on cultivating five things. Mahanama, you should take right faith as your foundation, not wrong faith; you should take the perfection of virtue, the perfection of learning, the perfection of generosity, and the perfection of wisdom as your foundation, not the lack of wisdom. In this way, Mahanama, relying on these five things, cultivate the six recollections. What are the six? Mahanama, when recollecting the Tathagata, you should recollect in this way: 'The Tathagata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One, even the Blessed Buddha.' You should recollect the Dharma, the Sangha, virtue, generosity, the heavenly realms, and even the wisdom attained through practice.'


。如是,摩訶男!聖弟子成就十一法者,則為學跡,終不腐敗,堪任知見、堪任決定,住甘露門,近於甘露,不能一切疾得甘露涅槃。

「譬如伏雞伏其卵,或五或十,隨時訊息,愛護將養,正復中間放逸,猶能以爪以口啄卵,得生其子。所以者何?以彼雞母初隨時訊息,善愛護故。如是聖弟子成就十一法者,住于學跡,終不腐敗,乃至不能一切疾得甘露涅槃。」

佛說此經已,摩訶男釋氏聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(九三三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。時,有眾多比丘集於食堂為世尊縫衣。

時,釋氏摩訶男聞諸比丘集於食堂為世尊縫衣,世尊不久安居訖,作衣竟,持衣缽,人間遊行。聞已,詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我今四體不攝,迷於四方,先所聞法,今悉忘失,以聞眾多比丘集於食堂為世尊縫衣,乃至人間遊行,我作是念:『何時當復得見世尊及諸知識比丘?』」

佛告摩訶男:「汝見如來、不見如來,見諸比丘、不見諸比丘,且汝常當勤修六法。何等為六?正信為本,戒、施、聞、空、慧以為根本,非不智慧,是故。摩訶男!依此六法已,于上增修六隨念,念如來事,乃至念天

現代漢語譯本: 『摩訶男,如果聖弟子成就了這十一種法,那麼他就是在修學之路上,終究不會墮落,能夠理解真理,能夠做出決斷,安住于甘露之門,接近甘露,但不能立刻證得甘露涅槃。 『譬如母雞孵蛋,無論是五顆還是十顆,它都會隨時關注,愛護照料,即使中間有所疏忽,仍然會用爪子和嘴啄破蛋殼,使小雞出生。這是為什麼呢?因為母雞最初就隨時關注,善加愛護。同樣,聖弟子如果成就了這十一種法,安住于修學之路,終究不會墮落,乃至不能立刻證得甘露涅槃。』 佛陀說完這部經后,摩訶男釋氏聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (九三三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。當時,有許多比丘聚集在食堂為世尊縫製衣服。 當時,釋氏摩訶男聽到比丘們聚集在食堂為世尊縫製衣服,世尊不久將結束安居,做完衣服后,將帶著衣缽,在人間游化。聽到這些后,他來到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我現在身心不安,迷失方向,以前聽聞的佛法,現在都忘記了,因為聽到許多比丘聚集在食堂為世尊縫製衣服,乃至世尊將要人間游化,我心想:『什麼時候才能再次見到世尊和各位同修比丘呢?』 佛陀告訴摩訶男:『你見到如來也好,沒見到如來也好,見到比丘也好,沒見到比丘也好,你都應當經常勤修六法。哪六法呢?以正信為根本,戒、佈施、聽聞佛法、空性、智慧為根本,而不是沒有智慧。所以,摩訶男!依靠這六法后,再向上增修六種隨念,憶念如來的功德,乃至憶念天人的功德。

English version: 'Mahānāma, if a noble disciple is accomplished in these eleven qualities, then he is on the path of learning, will ultimately not fall away, is capable of understanding the truth, is capable of making decisions, dwells at the gate of the nectar, is close to the nectar, but cannot immediately attain the nectar of Nirvana. 'It is like a hen sitting on her eggs, whether five or ten, she constantly monitors them, cherishes and cares for them. Even if she is negligent in between, she will still use her claws and beak to break the eggshells, allowing the chicks to hatch. Why is this so? Because the hen initially monitored them constantly and cared for them well. Similarly, if a noble disciple is accomplished in these eleven qualities, dwells on the path of learning, will ultimately not fall away, and will not immediately attain the nectar of Nirvana.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Mahānāma of the Sakya clan, having heard the Buddha's teachings, rejoiced and praised, bowed and departed. (933) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu. At that time, many monks were gathered in the refectory sewing robes for the Blessed One. At that time, Mahānāma of the Sakya clan heard that the monks were gathered in the refectory sewing robes for the Blessed One, and that the Blessed One would soon conclude his retreat, and after finishing the robes, would take his bowl and robes and wander among the people. Having heard this, he went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Blessed One! My body and mind are now unsettled, I am lost in all directions, and the Dharma I previously heard, I have now forgotten, because I heard that many monks were gathered in the refectory sewing robes for the Blessed One, and that the Blessed One would soon wander among the people. I thought: 'When will I be able to see the Blessed One and my fellow monks again?' The Buddha said to Mahānāma: 'Whether you see the Tathagata or do not see the Tathagata, whether you see the monks or do not see the monks, you should always diligently cultivate six qualities. What are the six? Having right faith as the foundation, morality, generosity, hearing the Dharma, emptiness, and wisdom as the foundation, and not without wisdom. Therefore, Mahānāma! Having relied on these six qualities, then further cultivate six recollections, recollecting the virtues of the Tathagata, and even recollecting the virtues of the devas.'


。如是十二種念成就,彼聖弟子諸惡退減不增長,消滅不起,離塵垢,不增塵垢,舍離不取;不取故不著,以不取著故,緣自涅槃:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說此經已,釋氏摩訶男聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起,作禮而去。

(九三四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。

爾時,釋氏摩訶男來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!如我解佛所說,正受故解脫,非不正受。云何?世尊!為先正受而後解脫耶?為先解脫而後正受耶?為正受解脫不前不後一時俱生耶?」

爾時,世尊默然而住。如是摩訶男第二第三問,佛亦再三默然住。

爾時,尊者阿難住于佛后,執扇扇佛。尊者阿難作是念:「釋氏摩訶男以此深義而問世尊,世尊病差未久,我今當說餘事,以引于彼語。

「摩訶男!學人亦有戒,無學人亦有戒;學人有三昧,無學人亦有三昧;學人有慧,無學人亦有慧;學人有解脫,無學人亦有解脫

現代漢語譯本:如果能成就這十二種正念,那麼這位聖弟子的一切惡行都會減少而不會增長,最終消滅不再產生,遠離塵垢,不再增加塵垢,捨棄一切執著而不去獲取;因為不獲取所以不執著,因為不執著,所以能證悟涅槃:『我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 佛陀說完這部經后,釋迦族的摩訶男聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身,向佛陀行禮后離去。 (九三四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。 當時,釋迦族的摩訶男來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!依我理解佛陀所說,正確的接受(正受)才能導致解脫,不正確的接受(不正受)不能導致解脫。那麼,世尊!是先有正確的接受然後才有解脫呢?還是先有解脫然後才有正確的接受呢?還是正確的接受和解脫不分先後,同時產生呢?』 當時,世尊沉默不語。摩訶男這樣第二、第三次提問,佛陀也再三保持沉默。 當時,尊者阿難站在佛陀身後,拿著扇子為佛陀扇風。尊者阿難心想:『釋迦族的摩訶男用如此深奧的道理來請問世尊,而世尊的病剛剛痊癒不久,我應該說些其他的事情,來引導他轉移話題。』 『摩訶男!有學之人有戒律,無學之人也有戒律;有學之人有禪定,無學之人也有禪定;有學之人有智慧,無學之人也有智慧;有學之人有解脫,無學之人也有解脫。』

English version: If these twelve kinds of mindfulness are accomplished, then that noble disciple's evil deeds will diminish and not increase, eventually ceasing to arise, being free from defilement, no longer adding to defilement, abandoning all attachments without grasping; because of not grasping, there is no attachment, and because of no attachment, one realizes Nirvana: 'My birth is exhausted, the pure practice is established, what needed to be done is done, I know for myself that there will be no future existence.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Mahānāma of the Shakya clan, having heard the Buddha's teachings, rejoiced and praised, rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, and departed. (934) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu. Then, Mahānāma of the Shakya clan came to the Buddha's dwelling, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir! As I understand the Buddha's teachings, correct acceptance (right reception) leads to liberation, and incorrect acceptance (wrong reception) does not. So, Venerable Sir! Does correct acceptance come before liberation, or does liberation come before correct acceptance? Or do correct acceptance and liberation arise simultaneously, neither before nor after each other?' At that time, the World-Honored One remained silent. Mahānāma asked this a second and third time, and the Buddha remained silent each time. At that time, the Venerable Ānanda was standing behind the Buddha, fanning him with a fan. The Venerable Ānanda thought: 'Mahānāma of the Shakya clan is asking the World-Honored One about such profound matters, and the World-Honored One has only recently recovered from his illness. I should speak of other things to lead him away from this topic.' 'Mahānāma! A learner has precepts, and a non-learner also has precepts; a learner has concentration, and a non-learner also has concentration; a learner has wisdom, and a non-learner also has wisdom; a learner has liberation, and a non-learner also has liberation.'


。」

摩訶男問尊者阿難:「云何為學人戒?云何為無學人戒?云何學人三昧?云何無學人三昧?云何學人慧?云何無學人慧?云何學人解脫?云何無學人解脫?」

尊者阿難語摩訶男:「此聖弟子住于戒波羅提木叉律儀,威儀行處,受持學戒,受持學戒具足已;離欲、惡不善法,乃至第四禪具足住;如是三昧具足已,此苦聖諦如實知,此苦集如實知,此苦滅如實知,此苦滅道跡如實知;如是知、如是見已,五下分結已斷已知,謂身見、戒取、疑、貪慾、瞋恚,此五下分結斷,于彼受生,得般涅槃阿那含,不復還生此世。彼當爾時,成就學戒、學三昧、學慧、學解脫,復于余時盡諸有漏,無漏解脫、慧解脫,自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』彼當爾時成就無學戒、無學三昧、無學慧、無學解脫。如是,摩訶男!是名世尊所說學戒、學三昧、學慧、學解脫,無學戒、無學三昧、無學慧、無學解脫。」

爾時,釋氏摩訶男聞尊者阿難所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起,禮佛而去。

爾時,世尊知摩訶男去不久,語尊者阿難:「迦毗羅衛釋氏乃能與諸比丘共論深義?」

阿難白佛:「唯然,世尊!迦毗羅衛釋氏能與諸比丘共論深義

摩訶男問阿難尊者:『什麼是學人的戒律?什麼是非學人的戒律?什麼是學人的三昧?什麼是非學人的三昧?什麼是學人的智慧?什麼是非學人的智慧?什麼是學人的解脫?什麼是非學人的解脫?』 阿難尊者對摩訶男說:『這位聖弟子安住于戒律,遵守波羅提木叉的儀軌,行為舉止合乎規範,受持學習戒律,並且圓滿地受持學習戒律;他遠離慾望、邪惡和不善的法,乃至圓滿地安住于第四禪;當他圓滿地成就三昧后,如實地知曉苦聖諦,如實地知曉苦集,如實地知曉苦滅,如實地知曉通往苦滅的道路;當他如此知曉、如此看見后,他已經斷除了五下分結,即身見、戒取、疑、貪慾和瞋恚。這五下分結斷除后,他將在彼處受生,證得般涅槃的阿那含果位,不再回到這個世間。那時,他成就了學戒、學三昧、學慧和學解脫。之後,在其他時候,他會斷盡所有的有漏,證得無漏解脫和慧解脫,自己知道並作證:『我的生死已經結束,梵行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有後世的生命。』那時,他成就了無學戒、無學三昧、無學慧和無學解脫。摩訶男,這就是世尊所說的學戒、學三昧、學慧、學解脫,以及無學戒、無學三昧、無學慧、無學解脫。』 當時,釋迦族的摩訶男聽了阿難尊者所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身,向佛陀行禮后離去。 那時,世尊知道摩訶男離開不久,就對阿難尊者說:『迦毗羅衛的釋迦族人能夠和眾比丘一起討論深奧的佛法嗎?』 阿難向佛陀稟告說:『是的,世尊!迦毗羅衛的釋迦族人能夠和眾比丘一起討論深奧的佛法。』

Mahānāma asked the Venerable Ānanda: 'What is the training of a learner in precepts? What is the training of a non-learner in precepts? What is the training of a learner in samādhi? What is the training of a non-learner in samādhi? What is the training of a learner in wisdom? What is the training of a non-learner in wisdom? What is the training of a learner in liberation? What is the training of a non-learner in liberation?' The Venerable Ānanda said to Mahānāma: 'This noble disciple dwells in the precepts, observing the rules of the Pāṭimokkha, with proper conduct and behavior, undertaking and practicing the precepts, and having fully undertaken and practiced the precepts; he is detached from desires, evil, and unwholesome states, and dwells in the fourth jhāna; having fully attained samādhi, he truly knows the noble truth of suffering, truly knows the origin of suffering, truly knows the cessation of suffering, and truly knows the path leading to the cessation of suffering; having known and seen thus, he has already abandoned the five lower fetters, namely, self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, doubt, sensual desire, and ill-will. Having abandoned these five lower fetters, he will be reborn there, attaining parinirvāṇa as an anāgāmin, and will not return to this world. At that time, he has achieved the training in precepts, the training in samādhi, the training in wisdom, and the training in liberation. Later, at other times, he will exhaust all the outflows, attain the outflow-free liberation and the liberation through wisdom, knowing and witnessing for himself: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life is lived, what had to be done is done, and there is no more future existence.』 At that time, he has achieved the non-training in precepts, the non-training in samādhi, the non-training in wisdom, and the non-training in liberation. Thus, Mahānāma, this is what the Blessed One has taught as the training in precepts, the training in samādhi, the training in wisdom, the training in liberation, and the non-training in precepts, the non-training in samādhi, the non-training in wisdom, and the non-training in liberation.' At that time, Mahānāma of the Sakyan clan, having heard what the Venerable Ānanda had said, rejoiced and was pleased. He rose from his seat, paid homage to the Buddha, and departed. Then, the Blessed One, knowing that Mahānāma had not been gone long, said to the Venerable Ānanda: 'Are the Sakyans of Kapilavatthu capable of discussing profound matters with the bhikkhus?' Ānanda replied to the Buddha: 'Yes, Blessed One! The Sakyans of Kapilavatthu are capable of discussing profound matters with the bhikkhus.'


。」

佛告阿難:「迦毗羅衛諸釋氏快得善利,能于甚深佛法賢聖慧眼而得深入。」

佛說此經已,尊者阿難聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九三五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。

爾時,釋氏名曰沙陀,語釋氏摩訶男:「世尊說須陀洹成就幾種法?」

摩訶男答言:「世尊說須陀洹成就四法。何等為四?謂于佛不壞凈,法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就,是名四法成就須陀洹。」

釋氏沙陀語釋氏摩訶男:「莫作是說!莫作是言世尊說四法成就須陀洹。然彼三法成就須陀洹。何等為三?謂于佛不壞凈、於法不壞凈、于僧不壞凈。如是三法成就須陀洹。」如是第三說。釋氏摩訶男不能令沙陀受四法,釋氏沙陀不能令摩訶男受三法,共詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。

釋氏摩訶男白佛言:「世尊!釋氏沙陀來詣我所,問我言:『世尊說幾法成就須陀洹?』我即答言:『世尊說四法成就須陀洹。何等為四?謂于佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。如是四法成就須陀洹。』釋氏沙陀作是言:『釋氏摩訶男!莫作是語,世尊說四法成就須陀洹,但三法成就須陀洹。何等為三?謂于佛不壞凈、於法不壞凈、于僧不壞凈,世尊說如是三法成就須陀洹

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴阿難:『迦毗羅衛的釋迦族人真是獲得了極大的利益,他們能夠在如此深奧的佛法和聖賢的智慧中深入理解。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地接受並遵行。 (九三五) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。 當時,一位名叫沙陀的釋迦族人問釋迦族人摩訶男:『世尊說,一個須陀洹需要成就幾種法?』 摩訶男回答說:『世尊說,一個須陀洹需要成就四種法。是哪四種呢?就是對佛陀有不壞的清凈信心,對佛法有不壞的清凈信心,對僧團有不壞的清凈信心,以及成就聖戒。這被稱為成就須陀洹的四種法。』 釋迦族人沙陀對釋迦族人摩訶男說:『不要這樣說!不要說世尊說四種法成就須陀洹。實際上,是三種法成就須陀洹。是哪三種呢?就是對佛陀有不壞的清凈信心,對佛法有不壞的清凈信心,對僧團有不壞的清凈信心。這三種法成就須陀洹。』他這樣說了三次。釋迦族人摩訶男不能讓沙陀接受四種法的說法,釋迦族人沙陀也不能讓摩訶男接受三種法的說法,於是他們一起去到佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。 釋迦族人摩訶男對佛陀說:『世尊!釋迦族人沙陀來到我這裡,問我:『世尊說,成就須陀洹需要幾種法?』我回答說:『世尊說,成就須陀洹需要四種法。是哪四種呢?就是對佛陀有不壞的清凈信心,對佛法、僧團有不壞的清凈信心,以及成就聖戒。這四種法成就須陀洹。』釋迦族人沙陀這樣說:『釋迦族人摩訶男!不要這樣說,世尊說成就須陀洹只需要三種法。是哪三種呢?就是對佛陀有不壞的清凈信心,對佛法有不壞的清凈信心,對僧團有不壞的清凈信心,世尊說這三種法成就須陀洹。』

English version The Buddha said to Ananda, 'The Shakyas of Kapilavastu have truly gained great benefit, being able to deeply understand the profound Dharma and the wisdom of the sages.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Ananda, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them. (935) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu. Then, a Shakya named Shatha asked the Shakya Mahānāma, 'The World-Honored One said, how many qualities does a Stream-Enterer need to achieve?' Mahānāma replied, 'The World-Honored One said that a Stream-Enterer needs to achieve four qualities. What are the four? They are unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma, unwavering faith in the Sangha, and the accomplishment of noble precepts. These are called the four qualities that make one a Stream-Enterer.' The Shakya Shatha said to the Shakya Mahānāma, 'Do not say that! Do not say that the World-Honored One said that four qualities make one a Stream-Enterer. Actually, it is three qualities that make one a Stream-Enterer. What are the three? They are unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma, and unwavering faith in the Sangha. These three qualities make one a Stream-Enterer.' He said this three times. The Shakya Mahānāma could not make Shatha accept the teaching of four qualities, and the Shakya Shatha could not make Mahānāma accept the teaching of three qualities, so they went together to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The Shakya Mahānāma said to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One! The Shakya Shatha came to me and asked, 'The World-Honored One said, how many qualities are needed to become a Stream-Enterer?' I replied, 'The World-Honored One said that four qualities are needed to become a Stream-Enterer. What are the four? They are unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and the accomplishment of noble precepts. These four qualities make one a Stream-Enterer.' The Shakya Shatha said, 'Shakya Mahānāma! Do not say that, the World-Honored One said that only three qualities are needed to become a Stream-Enterer. What are the three? They are unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma, and unwavering faith in the Sangha. The World-Honored One said that these three qualities make one a Stream-Enterer.'


。』如是再三說,我亦不能令彼釋氏沙陀受四法,釋氏沙陀亦不能令我受三法,是故俱來詣世尊所,今問世尊,須陀洹成就幾法?」

時,沙陀釋氏從坐起,為佛作禮,合掌白佛:「世尊!若有如是像類法起,一者世尊,一者比丘僧,我寧隨世尊,不隨比丘僧。或有如是像類法起,一者世尊,一者比丘尼僧、優婆塞、優婆夷、若天、若魔、若梵、若沙門、婆羅門、諸天、世人,我寧隨世尊!不隨餘眾。」

爾時,世尊告釋氏摩訶男:「如摩訶男!釋氏沙陀作如是論,汝當云何?」

摩訶男白佛:「世尊!彼沙陀釋氏作如是論,我知復可說,我唯言善,唯言真實。」

佛告摩訶男:「是故當知四法成就須陀洹,于佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。如是受持。」

時,釋氏摩訶男聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起,作禮而去。

(九三六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。

時,有迦毗羅衛釋氏集供養堂,作如是論,問:「摩訶男!云何最後記說彼百手釋氏命終,世尊記彼得須陀洹,不墮惡趣法,決定正向三菩提,七有天人往生,究竟苦邊。然彼百手釋氏犯戒飲酒,而復世尊記彼得須陀洹,乃至究竟苦邊

現代漢語譯本:'像這樣再三地說,我也不能讓那位釋迦族的沙陀接受四法,釋迦族的沙陀也不能讓我接受三法,所以我們一起來到世尊這裡,現在請問世尊,須陀洹成就需要具備幾種法?' 當時,沙陀釋迦族人從座位上站起來,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛說:'世尊!如果出現這樣的情況,一個是世尊,一個是比丘僧,我寧願跟隨世尊,不跟隨比丘僧。或者出現這樣的情況,一個是世尊,一個是比丘尼僧、優婆塞、優婆夷,或者天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、諸天、世人,我寧願跟隨世尊!不跟隨其他大眾。' 這時,世尊告訴釋迦族的摩訶男:'像摩訶男!釋迦族的沙陀這樣說,你應當如何看待?' 摩訶男對佛說:'世尊!那位沙陀釋迦族人這樣說,我知道還可以說,我只說好,只說真實。' 佛陀告訴摩訶男:'因此應當知道,成就四法才能成為須陀洹,對佛有不壞的凈信,對法、僧有不壞的凈信,成就聖戒。應當這樣受持。' 當時,釋迦族的摩訶男聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位上站起來,行禮后離開了。 (九三六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。 當時,迦毗羅衛的釋迦族人聚集在供養堂,這樣議論,問:'摩訶男!如何解釋最後記述的那位百手釋迦族人去世,世尊記述他證得須陀洹,不墮惡趣,決定走向三菩提,七次往生天人,最終達到苦的盡頭。然而那位百手釋迦族人犯戒飲酒,而世尊卻記述他證得須陀洹,乃至最終達到苦的盡頭。'

English version: 'Saying this repeatedly, I cannot make that Sakyan Sadha accept the four dharmas, nor can the Sakyan Sadha make me accept the three dharmas. Therefore, we have both come to the World Honored One. Now we ask the World Honored One, how many dharmas does a Stream-enterer need to achieve?' Then, Sadha the Sakyan rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! If such a situation arises, one being the World Honored One, and the other being the monastic community of monks, I would rather follow the World Honored One, not the monastic community of monks. Or if such a situation arises, one being the World Honored One, and the other being the monastic community of nuns, laymen, laywomen, or gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, all the gods, or people of the world, I would rather follow the World Honored One! Not the rest of the assembly.' At that time, the World Honored One said to Mahānāma the Sakyan: 'Like Mahānāma! Sadha the Sakyan makes such an argument, how should you view it?' Mahānāma said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! That Sadha the Sakyan makes such an argument, I know it can be said, I only say it is good, only say it is true.' The Buddha said to Mahānāma: 'Therefore, it should be known that one becomes a Stream-enterer by achieving four dharmas: unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and the accomplishment of noble precepts. Thus should it be upheld.' Then, Mahānāma the Sakyan, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, rose from his seat, bowed, and departed. (936) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu. Then, the Sakyans of Kapilavastu gathered in the offering hall and discussed, asking: 'Mahānāma! How is it that the last record says that the Sakyan of a hundred hands passed away, and the World Honored One recorded that he attained Stream-entry, not falling into evil realms, determined towards enlightenment, seven times reborn in the heavens and among humans, ultimately reaching the end of suffering. Yet that Sakyan of a hundred hands broke the precepts by drinking alcohol, and the World Honored One still recorded that he attained Stream-entry, even reaching the end of suffering.'


。汝摩訶男!當往問佛,如佛所說,我等奉持!」

爾時,摩訶男往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我等迦毗羅衛諸釋氏集供養堂,作如是論,摩訶男:『云何最後記說,是中百手釋氏命終,世尊記說得須陀洹,乃至究竟苦邊。汝今當往重問世尊,如世尊所說,我等奉持!』我今問佛,唯愿解說。」

佛告摩訶男:「『善逝大師、善逝大師』者,聖弟子所說,口說善逝,而心正念直見,悉入善逝。『正法律、正法律』者,聖弟子所說,口說正法,發心正念直見,悉入正法。『善向僧、善向僧』者,聖弟子所說,口說善向,發心正念直見,悉入善向。如是,摩訶男!聖弟子于佛一向凈信,於法、僧一向凈信,於法利智、出智、決定智,八解脫具足身作證,以智慧見,有漏斷知。如是聖弟子不趣地獄、畜生、餓鬼,不墮惡趣,說阿羅漢俱解脫。

「複次,摩訶男!聖弟子一向于佛清凈信,乃至決定智慧,不得八解脫身作證具足住,然彼知見有漏斷,是名聖弟子不墮惡趣,乃至慧解脫。複次,摩訶男!聖弟子一向于佛清凈信,乃至決定智慧,八解脫身作證具足住,而不見有漏斷,是名聖弟子不墮惡趣,乃至身證

現代漢語譯本:『摩訶男啊!你應該去問佛陀,按照佛陀所說的,我們都會遵照奉行!』 當時,摩訶男前往佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我們迦毗羅衛的釋迦族人聚集在供養堂,討論這樣的問題,摩訶男:『如何才能最終確定,這裡一百位釋迦族人去世后,世尊會說他們證得須陀洹果,乃至最終解脫苦難。你現在應該再去問問世尊,按照世尊所說的,我們都會遵照奉行!』我現在來問佛陀,希望您能為我們解答。』 佛陀告訴摩訶男:『「善逝大師、善逝大師」這句話,是聖弟子所說,口中稱讚善逝,心中正念直見,完全歸入善逝。「正法律、正法律」這句話,是聖弟子所說,口中稱讚正法,發心正念直見,完全歸入正法。「善向僧、善向僧」這句話,是聖弟子所說,口中稱讚善向,發心正念直見,完全歸入善向。摩訶男啊!聖弟子對佛陀有完全的清凈信心,對法和僧也有完全的清凈信心,對於法有利益的智慧、出離的智慧、決定的智慧,八種解脫都通過身體證得,用智慧看到,知道有漏已經斷除。這樣的聖弟子不會墮入地獄、畜生、餓鬼道,不會墮入惡趣,被稱為阿羅漢俱解脫。 『再者,摩訶男!聖弟子對佛陀有完全的清凈信心,乃至有決定的智慧,沒有通過身體證得八種解脫,但他們知道有漏已經斷除,這樣的聖弟子不會墮入惡趣,乃至證得慧解脫。再者,摩訶男!聖弟子對佛陀有完全的清凈信心,乃至有決定的智慧,通過身體證得八種解脫,但沒有看到有漏斷除,這樣的聖弟子不會墮入惡趣,乃至證得身證。』

English version: 『O Mahānāma! You should go and ask the Buddha, and we will follow and uphold whatever the Buddha says!』 At that time, Mahānāma went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 『Venerable Sir! We, the Sakyans of Kapilavastu, gathered in the assembly hall and discussed this matter, Mahānāma: 『How can it be finally determined that when a hundred Sakyans here die, the Venerable One will say that they have attained the state of a Stream-enterer, and even ultimately reached the end of suffering? You should now go and ask the Venerable One again, and we will follow and uphold whatever the Venerable One says!』 I am now asking the Buddha, and I hope you can explain it to us.』 The Buddha said to Mahānāma, 『The phrase 「Well-gone Master, Well-gone Master」 is spoken by a noble disciple, who praises the Well-gone One with their mouth, and with right mindfulness and direct view in their heart, they completely enter into the Well-gone One. The phrase 「Right Law, Right Law」 is spoken by a noble disciple, who praises the Right Law with their mouth, and with right mindfulness and direct view in their heart, they completely enter into the Right Law. The phrase 「Well-directed Sangha, Well-directed Sangha」 is spoken by a noble disciple, who praises the Well-directed Sangha with their mouth, and with right mindfulness and direct view in their heart, they completely enter into the Well-directed Sangha. In this way, O Mahānāma! A noble disciple has complete pure faith in the Buddha, complete pure faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and has the wisdom of benefit, the wisdom of liberation, and the wisdom of determination regarding the Dharma. They have fully realized the eight liberations through their body, and with wisdom, they see that the outflows have been cut off. Such a noble disciple will not fall into hell, the animal realm, or the realm of hungry ghosts, and will not fall into evil realms. They are called an Arhat who is liberated in both ways.』 『Furthermore, O Mahānāma! A noble disciple has complete pure faith in the Buddha, and even has the wisdom of determination, but has not fully realized the eight liberations through their body. However, they know that the outflows have been cut off. Such a noble disciple will not fall into evil realms, and will even attain liberation through wisdom. Furthermore, O Mahānāma! A noble disciple has complete pure faith in the Buddha, and even has the wisdom of determination, and has fully realized the eight liberations through their body, but has not seen that the outflows have been cut off. Such a noble disciple will not fall into evil realms, and will even attain liberation through bodily realization.』


「複次,摩訶男!若聖弟子一向于佛清凈信,乃至決定智慧,不得八解脫身作證具足住,然于正法、律如實知見,是名聖弟子不墮惡趣,乃至見到。複次,摩訶男!聖弟子一向于佛清凈信,乃至決定智慧,于正法、律如實知見,不得見到,是名聖弟子不墮惡趣,乃至信解脫。

「複次,摩訶男!聖弟子信于佛言說清凈,信法、信僧言說清凈,於五法增上智慧,審諦堪忍,謂信、精進、念、定、慧,是名聖弟子不墮惡趣,乃至隨法行。

「複次,摩訶男!聖弟子信于佛言說清凈,信法、信僧言說清凈,乃至五法少慧,審諦堪忍,謂信、精進、念、定、慧,是名聖弟子不墮惡趣,乃至隨信行。

「摩訶男!此堅固樹,於我所說能知義者,無有是處!若能知者,我則記說,況復百手釋氏而不記說得須陀洹?摩訶男!百手釋氏臨命終時,受持凈戒,舍離飲酒,然後命終,我記說彼得須陀洹,乃至究竟苦邊。」

摩訶男釋氏聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起,作禮而去。

(九三七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離獼猴池側重閣講堂。時,有四十比丘住波梨耶聚落,一切皆修阿練若行、糞掃衣、乞食,學人未離欲,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面

現代漢語譯本: 『再者,摩訶男!如果聖弟子對佛有堅定的清凈信心,乃至有決定的智慧,雖然沒有通過身體證得八解脫並安住其中,但對於正法和戒律有如實的瞭解和見解,這被稱為聖弟子不會墮入惡道,乃至能夠見到真理。再者,摩訶男!如果聖弟子對佛有堅定的清凈信心,乃至有決定的智慧,雖然對於正法和戒律有如實的瞭解,但沒有親身見到真理,這被稱為聖弟子不會墮入惡道,乃至通過信解脫。』 『再者,摩訶男!如果聖弟子相信佛所說的話是清凈的,相信法和僧所說的話也是清凈的,並且在五種法上具有增上的智慧,能夠審慎地忍受,即信、精進、念、定、慧,這被稱為聖弟子不會墮入惡道,乃至能夠隨法修行。』 『再者,摩訶男!如果聖弟子相信佛所說的話是清凈的,相信法和僧所說的話也是清凈的,乃至在五種法上只有少許智慧,能夠審慎地忍受,即信、精進、念、定、慧,這被稱為聖弟子不會墮入惡道,乃至能夠隨信修行。』 『摩訶男!這棵堅固的樹,如果有人能理解我所說的含義,那是不可能的!如果有人能理解,我就會記說他,更何況百手釋氏,我難道不記說他能獲得須陀洹果嗎?摩訶男!百手釋氏臨終時,如果能夠持守清凈的戒律,捨棄飲酒,然後去世,我就會記說他獲得了須陀洹果,乃至最終達到苦的盡頭。』 摩訶男釋氏聽了佛所說的話,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身,向佛作禮后離去。 (九三七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在毗舍離獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。當時,有四十位比丘住在波梨耶聚落,他們都修習阿練若行、穿糞掃衣、乞食,這些學人還沒有斷除慾望,他們來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退到一旁站立。

English version: 'Furthermore, Mahanama! If a noble disciple has unwavering pure faith in the Buddha, even to the point of decisive wisdom, and although they have not attained the eight liberations through bodily realization and dwell in them, they have a true understanding and insight into the Dharma and the Vinaya, this is called a noble disciple who will not fall into evil realms, and will even see the truth. Furthermore, Mahanama! If a noble disciple has unwavering pure faith in the Buddha, even to the point of decisive wisdom, and although they have a true understanding of the Dharma and the Vinaya, they have not personally seen the truth, this is called a noble disciple who will not fall into evil realms, and will even be liberated through faith.' 'Furthermore, Mahanama! If a noble disciple believes that the Buddha's words are pure, believes that the Dharma and Sangha's words are pure, and has increasing wisdom in the five qualities, being able to patiently endure, namely faith, diligence, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom, this is called a noble disciple who will not fall into evil realms, and will even be able to practice according to the Dharma.' 'Furthermore, Mahanama! If a noble disciple believes that the Buddha's words are pure, believes that the Dharma and Sangha's words are pure, and even has little wisdom in the five qualities, being able to patiently endure, namely faith, diligence, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom, this is called a noble disciple who will not fall into evil realms, and will even be able to practice according to faith.' 'Mahanama! It is impossible for this sturdy tree to understand the meaning of what I have said! If someone could understand, I would acknowledge it, let alone the hundred-handed Sakyan, would I not acknowledge that he could attain the Sotapanna fruit? Mahanama! If the hundred-handed Sakyan, at the time of his death, could uphold pure precepts, abandon drinking alcohol, and then pass away, I would acknowledge that he had attained the Sotapanna fruit, and even ultimately reach the end of suffering.' Mahanama the Sakyan, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised it, rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, and departed. (937) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the multi-storied hall near the Monkey Pond in Vaishali. At that time, there were forty bhikkhus dwelling in the village of Parijeya, all of whom practiced the forest life, wore rag robes, and begged for alms. These trainees had not yet abandoned desire. They came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then stood to one side.


爾時,世尊作是念:「此四十比丘住波梨耶聚落,皆修阿練若行、糞掃衣、乞食,學人未離欲,我今當爲說法,令其即於此生不起諸漏,心得解脫。」

爾時,世尊告波梨耶聚落四十比丘:「眾生無始生死,無明所蓋,愛系其頸,長夜生死輪轉,不知苦之本際。諸比丘!于意云何?恒水洪流趣于大海,中間恒水為多?汝等本來長夜生死輪轉,破壞身體流血為多?」

諸比丘白佛:「如我解世尊所說義,我等長夜輪轉生死,其身破壞流血甚多,多於恒水百千萬倍。」

佛告比丘:「置此恒水,乃至四大海水為多?汝等長夜輪轉生死,其身破壞血流為多?」

諸比丘白佛:「如我解世尊所說義,我等長夜輪轉生死,其身破壞流血甚多,逾四大海水也。」

佛告諸比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝等長夜輪轉生死,所出身血甚多無數,過於恒水及四大海。所以者何?汝于長夜,曾生象中,或截耳、鼻、頭、尾、四足,其血無量。或受馬身,駝、驢、牛、犬諸禽獸類,斷截耳、鼻、頭、足四體,其血無量,汝等長夜或為賊盜,為人所害,斷截頭、足、耳、鼻,分離四體,其血無量。汝等長夜身壞命終,棄于塳間,膿壞流血,其數無量,或墮地獄、畜生、餓鬼,身壞命終,其流血出亦復無量

現代漢語譯本:

當時,世尊心中這樣想:『這四十位比丘住在波梨耶村落,都修習在森林中居住、穿糞掃衣、乞食的苦行,他們還是在學習階段,尚未斷除慾望。我現在應當為他們說法,使他們在此生就能不起各種煩惱,心得解脫。』 當時,世尊告訴波梨耶村落的四十位比丘:『眾生從無始以來就在生死中輪迴,被無明所矇蔽,被愛慾束縛,在漫長的黑夜裡生死輪轉,不知道痛苦的根源。各位比丘,你們認為如何?恒河的洪流奔向大海,中間的恒河水多,還是你們本來在漫長的黑夜裡生死輪迴,身體被破壞流出的血多?』 比丘們回答佛說:『依我們理解世尊所說的意義,我們漫長黑夜裡輪迴生死,身體被破壞流出的血非常多,比恒河水多百千萬倍。』 佛告訴比丘們:『把恒河水放在一邊,乃至四大海水多,還是你們漫長黑夜裡輪迴生死,身體被破壞流出的血多?』 比丘們回答佛說:『依我們理解世尊所說的意義,我們漫長黑夜裡輪迴生死,身體被破壞流出的血非常多,超過四大海水。』 佛告訴比丘們:『很好!很好!你們漫長黑夜裡輪迴生死,身體流出的血非常多,數不勝數,超過恒河水和四大海水。這是為什麼呢?你們在漫長的黑夜裡,曾經生為大象,被砍斷耳朵、鼻子、頭、尾巴、四肢,流出的血無數。或者受生為馬,駱駝、驢、牛、狗以及各種禽獸,被砍斷耳朵、鼻子、頭、四肢,流出的血無數。你們在漫長的黑夜裡,或者做強盜,被人所害,被砍斷頭、腳、耳朵、鼻子,身體分離,流出的血無數。你們在漫長的黑夜裡,身體壞死,生命終結,被拋棄在墳地,膿液腐爛流出的血,數量無數。或者墮入地獄、畜生、餓鬼道,身體壞死,生命終結,流出的血也無數。』

English version:

At that time, the World Honored One thought, 'These forty monks dwelling in the village of Pārileyya, all practicing the ascetic life of living in the forest, wearing discarded rags, and begging for food, are still learners who have not yet abandoned desire. I should now preach the Dharma to them, so that in this very life they will not give rise to any defilements and their minds will be liberated.' At that time, the World Honored One said to the forty monks in the village of Pārileyya, 'Sentient beings have been in the cycle of birth and death since beginningless time, covered by ignorance and bound by craving, revolving in the long night of birth and death, not knowing the root of suffering. Monks, what do you think? Is the flow of the Ganges River rushing to the ocean, or the blood that has flowed from your bodies as you have revolved in the long night of birth and death, more?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'As we understand the meaning of what the World Honored One has said, the blood that has flowed from our bodies as we have revolved in the long night of birth and death is very much more, a hundred thousand times more than the water of the Ganges River.' The Buddha said to the monks, 'Set aside the Ganges River, is the water of the four great oceans more, or the blood that has flowed from your bodies as you have revolved in the long night of birth and death more?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'As we understand the meaning of what the World Honored One has said, the blood that has flowed from our bodies as we have revolved in the long night of birth and death is very much more, exceeding the water of the four great oceans.' The Buddha said to the monks, 'Excellent! Excellent! The blood that has flowed from your bodies as you have revolved in the long night of birth and death is very much, countless, exceeding the water of the Ganges River and the four great oceans. Why is this so? In the long night, you were once born as elephants, and your ears, noses, heads, tails, and four limbs were cut off, and the blood that flowed was countless. Or you were born as horses, camels, donkeys, cows, dogs, and various birds and beasts, and your ears, noses, heads, and four limbs were cut off, and the blood that flowed was countless. In the long night, you were sometimes thieves, harmed by others, and your heads, feet, ears, and noses were cut off, and your bodies were separated, and the blood that flowed was countless. In the long night, your bodies decayed and your lives ended, and you were abandoned in burial grounds, and the pus and decaying blood that flowed was countless. Or you fell into hell, the animal realm, or the realm of hungry ghosts, and your bodies decayed and your lives ended, and the blood that flowed was also countless.'


。」

佛告比丘:「色為是常,為非常耶?」

比丘白佛:「無常。世尊!」

佛告比丘:「若無常者,是苦耶?」

比丘白佛:「是苦。世尊!」

佛告比丘:「若無常、苦者,是變易法,聖弟子寧復于中見是我、異我、相在不?」

比丘白佛:「不也,世尊!」受、想、行、識亦復如是。

佛告比丘:「若所有色,過去、未來、現在,若內、若外,若粗、若細,若好、若丑,若遠、若近,彼一切非我、不異我、不相在。如是如實知。受、想、行、識亦復如是。聖弟子如是觀者,於色厭離,于受、想、行、識厭離;厭已不樂,不樂已解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說是法時,四十比丘波梨耶聚落住者不起諸漏,心得解脫。

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九三八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「眾生無始生死以來,長夜輪轉,不知苦之本際

現代漢語譯本 佛陀對比丘們說:『色是常住的嗎,還是無常的呢?』 比丘們回答佛陀說:『是無常的,世尊!』 佛陀對比丘們說:『如果它是無常的,那麼它是苦的嗎?』 比丘們回答佛陀說:『是苦的,世尊!』 佛陀對比丘們說:『如果它是無常的、苦的,是會變化的,那麼聖弟子還會認為其中有『我』、『異於我』、『存在於我之中』嗎?』 比丘們回答佛陀說:『不會的,世尊!』受、想、行、識也是如此。 佛陀對比丘們說:『所有色,無論是過去、未來、現在,無論是內在的、外在的,無論是粗糙的、細微的,無論是美好的、醜陋的,無論是遙遠的、近處的,它們都不是『我』,不異於『我』,不存在於『我』之中。應當如實地知道這一點。受、想、行、識也是如此。聖弟子這樣觀察,就會對色感到厭離,對受、想、行、識感到厭離;厭離之後就不會貪戀,不貪戀之後就會解脫,解脫之後就會知道:『我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 佛陀宣說此法時,住在波梨耶聚落的四十位比丘不再生起煩惱,心得到解脫。 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (九三八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊對比丘們說:『眾生從無始的生死以來,長久地在輪迴中轉動,不知道苦的根本邊際。』

English version The Buddha said to the monks, 'Is form permanent, or impermanent?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'It is impermanent, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to the monks, 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'It is suffering, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to the monks, 'If it is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, would a noble disciple still see in it 『I』, 『different from I』, or 『existing within I』?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'No, Venerable Sir!' Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this. The Buddha said to the monks, 'All forms, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether coarse or fine, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, they are all not 『I』, not different from 『I』, and not existing within 『I』. One should know this as it truly is. Feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are also like this. A noble disciple who observes in this way becomes disenchanted with form, and becomes disenchanted with feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness; being disenchanted, they are no longer attached, and being unattached, they are liberated, and upon liberation, they know: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』' When the Buddha spoke this Dharma, forty monks residing in the village of Pārileyya were freed from all defilements, and their minds were liberated. Having spoken this discourse, the monks, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly. (938) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta』s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika』s Park, in Sāvatthī. Then, the Blessed One said to the monks, 'Beings, since beginningless time, have been wandering in the cycle of rebirth for a long time, not knowing the fundamental limit of suffering.'


。」

佛告諸比丘:「于意云何?恒河流水,乃至四大海,其水為多?為汝等長夜輪轉生死,流淚為多?」

諸比丘白佛:「如我解世尊所說義,我等長夜輪轉生死,流淚甚多,過於恒水及四大海。」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝等長夜輪轉生死,流淚甚多,非彼恒水及四大海。所以者何?汝等長夜喪失父母、兄弟、姊妹、宗親、知識,喪失錢財,為之流淚,甚多無量。汝等長夜棄于塳間,膿血流出,及生地獄、畜生、餓鬼。諸比丘!汝等從無始生死,長夜輪轉,其身血淚甚多無量。」

佛告諸比丘:「色為常耶?為無常耶?」

比丘白佛:「無常。世尊!」

佛告比丘:「若無常者,是苦耶?」

比丘白佛:「是苦。世尊!」

佛告比丘:「若無常、苦者,是變易法,多聞聖弟子寧于其中見我、異我、相在不?」

比丘白佛:「不也,世尊!」受、想、行、識亦復如是。

「諸比丘!聖弟子如是知、如是見,乃至於色解脫,于受、想、行、識解脫,解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴眾比丘:『你們認為如何?恒河的水流,乃至四大海的水,哪一個更多?還是你們長久以來在生死輪迴中流的眼淚更多?』 眾比丘回答佛陀:『依我理解世尊所說的意義,我們長久以來在生死輪迴中流的眼淚非常多,超過了恒河的水和四大海。』 佛陀告訴比丘:『說得好!說得好!你們長久以來在生死輪迴中流的眼淚確實非常多,不是恒河的水和四大海可以比擬的。這是為什麼呢?因為你們長久以來喪失父母、兄弟、姐妹、親族、朋友,喪失錢財,為此流的眼淚,非常多,無法計量。你們長久以來被拋棄在墳地,膿血流出,以及生在地獄、畜生、餓鬼道。諸位比丘!你們從無始的生死以來,長久輪迴,身體流的血淚非常多,無法計量。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『色是常住的嗎?還是無常的呢?』 比丘回答佛陀:『是無常的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘:『如果無常,是苦嗎?』 比丘回答佛陀:『是苦,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘:『如果無常、是苦,是變易之法,多聞的聖弟子會在其中認為有我、異於我、或與我相關嗎?』 比丘回答佛陀:『不會的,世尊!』受、想、行、識也是如此。 『諸位比丘!聖弟子如此知曉、如此看待,乃至對色解脫,對受、想、行、識解脫,從生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦中解脫。』 佛陀說完這部經,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (九三九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: The Buddha said to the monks, 'What do you think? Is the water in the Ganges River, or even the four great oceans, more? Or is the amount of tears you have shed in your long cycles of birth and death more?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'As I understand the meaning of what the World Honored One has said, the tears we have shed in our long cycles of birth and death are very much more, exceeding the water of the Ganges and the four great oceans.' The Buddha told the monks, 'Well said! Well said! The tears you have shed in your long cycles of birth and death are indeed very much more, not comparable to the water of the Ganges and the four great oceans. Why is that? Because you have lost parents, brothers, sisters, relatives, and friends for a long time, and lost wealth, for which you have shed tears, very much and immeasurably. You have been abandoned in burial grounds for a long time, with pus and blood flowing out, and have been born in hell, as animals, and as hungry ghosts. Monks! From beginningless birth and death, you have been in long cycles, and the blood and tears from your bodies are very much and immeasurable.' The Buddha said to the monks, 'Is form permanent? Or is it impermanent?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'It is impermanent, World Honored One!' The Buddha told the monks, 'If it is impermanent, is it suffering?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'It is suffering, World Honored One!' The Buddha told the monks, 'If it is impermanent and suffering, and is subject to change, would a well-learned noble disciple see in it 'I', 'different from I', or 'related to I'?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'No, World Honored One!' The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. 'Monks! A noble disciple who knows and sees in this way is liberated from form, liberated from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, and liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (939) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「眾生於無始生死,無明所蓋,愛系其頸,長夜輪轉,不知苦之本際。」

佛告諸比丘:「于意云何?恒河流水及四大海,其水為多,汝等長夜輪轉生死,飲其母乳為多耶?」

比丘白佛:「如我解世尊所說義,我等長夜輪轉生死,飲其母乳,多於恒河及四大海水。」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝等長夜輪轉生死,飲其母乳,多於恒河及四大海水。所以者何?汝等長夜或生象中,飲其母乳,無量無數。或生駝、馬、牛、驢諸禽獸類飲其母乳,其數無量。汝等長夜棄于塳間,膿血流出,亦復無量。或墮地獄、畜生、餓鬼,髓血流出,亦復如是。比丘!汝等無始生死輪轉已來,不知苦之本際。云何?比丘!色為常耶?為無常耶?」

比丘白佛:「非常。世尊!」

「乃至聖弟子於五受陰觀察非我、非我所,于諸世間得無所取;不取已,無所著,所作已作,自知不受後有。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Sentient beings, in the beginningless cycle of birth and death, are covered by ignorance and bound by craving. They revolve in this long night, not knowing the root of suffering.' The Buddha asked the bhikkhus: 'What do you think? Which is more, the water of the Ganges River and the four great oceans, or the mother's milk you have drunk in your long cycle of birth and death?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'According to my understanding of the meaning of what the World Honored One has said, the mother's milk we have drunk in our long cycle of birth and death is more than the water of the Ganges River and the four great oceans.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'Excellent! Excellent! The mother's milk you have drunk in your long cycle of birth and death is indeed more than the water of the Ganges River and the four great oceans. Why is that? Because in your long cycle, you have sometimes been born as elephants, drinking mother's milk, countless and immeasurable. Sometimes you have been born as camels, horses, cows, donkeys, and various birds and beasts, drinking mother's milk, the number of which is immeasurable. You have been abandoned in burial grounds for a long time, with pus and blood flowing out, also immeasurable. Or you have fallen into hell, the animal realm, or the realm of hungry ghosts, with marrow and blood flowing out, also the same. Bhikkhus! Since the beginningless cycle of birth and death, you have not known the root of suffering. How is it? Bhikkhus! Is form permanent or impermanent?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'Impermanent, World Honored One!' 'Even a noble disciple observes the five aggregates, knowing that they are not 'I' or 'mine,' and for all things in the world, they no longer grasp; having no grasping, there is no attachment, what needs to be done is done, and they know that there will be no future existence.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

English version At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Sentient beings have been in the cycle of birth and death since beginningless time, revolving in the long night, not knowing the ultimate end of suffering. Bhikkhus! What do you think? If all the grass and trees on this earth were measured by four fingers' length, cut into counters, and used to count the parents upon whom you have depended in your long night of revolving in birth and death; even if the number of counters were exhausted, the number of your parents would still not be exhausted. Bhikkhus! Such is the beginningless cycle of birth and death, revolving in the long night, not knowing the ultimate end of suffering. Therefore, bhikkhus! You should learn thus: 'You should diligently strive to cut off all existences, not allowing them to increase.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (941) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

How is it? Bhikkhus! If all the soil on this earth were made into mud balls, the size of a 'Bala' fruit, and used to count the parents upon whom you have depended since your long cycle of birth and death; even if the mud balls were exhausted, the number of parents upon whom you have depended would still not be exhausted. Bhikkhus! The beginningless cycle of birth and death of sentient beings, revolving in the long night, not knowing the ultimate end of suffering, is of such a number. Therefore, bhikkhus! You should diligently strive to cut off all existences, not allowing them to increase, you should learn thus.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (942) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

Bhikkhus! When you see sentient beings in peace and happiness, you should think thus: 'We too have revolved in birth and death in the long night, and have also experienced such happiness, the directions of which are immeasurable.'

I should practice the pure Brahma-faring under them.』", "Then, the Brahmin, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, and rose from his seat and departed.", "Then, the Brahmin, while on his way, thought: 『I only asked the Shramana Gautama about the future Buddhas, not about the past.』 So he returned and again asked the World-Honored One: 『Gautama, how many Buddhas were there in the past?』", "The Buddha told the Brahmin: 『The Buddhas of the past were also as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.』", "Then, the Brahmin thought: 『In the past, there were as many World-Honored Buddhas as the sands of the Ganges, and I did not associate with them. Even if in the future there are as many Samyaksambuddhas as the sands of the Ganges, I will not associate with them or enjoy their company. Now I should practice the Brahma-faring under the Shramana Gautama.』 Then, he joined his palms and said to the Buddha: 『May you allow me to leave home and practice the Brahma-faring in the Dharma and Vinaya.』" ] }

佛告婆羅門:「聽汝于正法、律出家修梵行,得比丘分。」

爾時,婆羅門即出家受具足。出家已,獨一靜處思惟:「所以善男子正信非家,出家學道……。」乃至得阿羅漢。

(九四七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城毗富羅山。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有一人於一劫中生死輪轉,積累白骨不腐壞者,如毗富羅山。若多聞聖弟子此苦聖諦如實知,此苦集聖諦如實知,此苦滅聖諦如實知,此苦滅道跡聖諦如實知,彼如是知、如是見,斷三結,謂身見、戒取、疑,斷此三結,得須陀洹,不墮惡趣法,決定正向三菩提,七有天人往生,究竟苦邊。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「一人一劫中,  積聚其身骨,  常積不腐壞,  如毗富羅山。  若諸聖弟子,  正智見真諦,  此苦及苦因,  離苦得寂滅。  修習八道跡,  正向般涅槃,  極至於七有,  天人來往生,  盡一切諸結,  究竟於苦邊。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九四八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「眾生於無始生死長夜輪轉,不知苦之本際

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『允許你依照正法和戒律出家修行,成為比丘。』 當時,婆羅門立即出家受了具足戒。出家后,他獨自一人在安靜的地方思考:『善男子為何要捨棄家庭,真心實意地出家修道……』,最終證得了阿羅漢果。

(九四七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的毗富羅山。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果一個人在一劫中生死輪迴,所積累的白骨不腐爛,就會像毗富羅山一樣高。如果多聞的聖弟子如實地知曉苦聖諦,如實地知曉苦集聖諦,如實地知曉苦滅聖諦,如實地知曉苦滅之道聖諦,他們如此知曉、如此見到,就能斷除三種結縛,即身見、戒禁取見和疑。斷除這三種結縛后,他們就能證得須陀洹果,不會墮入惡道,必定會走向正覺,經歷七次天人往生,最終達到苦的盡頭。』 當時,世尊說了偈語: 『一人一劫中, 積聚其身骨, 常積不腐壞, 如毗富羅山。 若諸聖弟子, 正智見真諦, 此苦及苦因, 離苦得寂滅。 修習八道跡, 正向般涅槃, 極至於七有, 天人來往生, 盡一切諸結, 究竟於苦邊。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

(九四八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『眾生在無始的生死長夜中輪迴,不知道苦的根本邊際。

English version The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'I permit you to go forth from home under the Dharma and the Vinaya, to practice the holy life, and to become a bhikkhu.' At that time, the Brahmin immediately went forth from home and received full ordination. Having gone forth, he dwelt alone in a quiet place, contemplating, 'Why do good men, with true faith, go forth from home to practice the Way…' and eventually attained Arhatship.

(947) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Vipula in Rajagriha. At that time, the Blessed One told the bhikkhus, 'If a person were to transmigrate through samsara for one kalpa, the accumulation of their bones, which do not decay, would be like Mount Vipula. If a well-learned noble disciple truly understands the noble truth of suffering, truly understands the noble truth of the origin of suffering, truly understands the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and truly understands the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering, then by knowing and seeing in this way, they will break the three fetters, namely, self-view, attachment to rites and rituals, and doubt. Having broken these three fetters, they will attain stream-entry, will not fall into the evil realms, will be firmly directed towards enlightenment, will be reborn among gods and humans seven times, and will ultimately reach the end of suffering.' At that time, the Blessed One spoke these verses: 'A person in one kalpa, accumulates their bones, Constantly accumulating, not decaying, like Mount Vipula. If noble disciples, with right wisdom see the truth, This suffering and the cause of suffering, leaving suffering, attain peace. Practicing the eightfold path, rightly directed towards Nirvana, Reaching up to seven existences, coming and going among gods and humans, Exhausting all fetters, ultimately reaching the end of suffering.' Having spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly.

(948) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the Blessed One told the bhikkhus, 'Beings transmigrate in the endless night of samsara, not knowing the fundamental limit of suffering.'

時,有異比丘從坐起,整衣服,偏袒右肩,為佛作禮,右膝著地,合掌白佛:「世尊!劫長久如?」

佛告比丘:「我能為汝說,而汝難知。」

比丘白佛:「可說譬不?」

佛言:「可說,比丘!譬如鐵城,方一由旬,高下亦爾,滿中芥子,有人百年取一芥子,盡其芥子,劫猶不竟。如是,比丘!其劫者,如是長久。如是長劫,百千萬億大苦相續,白骨成丘,膿血成流,地獄、畜生、餓鬼惡趣。是名,比丘!無始生死,長夜輪轉,不知苦之本際。是故,比丘!當如是學:『斷除諸有,莫令增長。』」

現代漢語譯本 當時,有一位不同的比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,袒露右肩,向佛陀行禮,右膝跪地,合掌對佛說:『世尊!劫的時間有多長久呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『我能為你解說,但你難以理解。』 比丘對佛說:『可以用比喻來說明嗎?』 佛陀說:『可以的,比丘!譬如有一座鐵城,邊長一由旬,高低也一樣,裡面裝滿了芥子。如果有人每百年取出一粒芥子,直到取完所有的芥子,劫的時間仍然沒有結束。像這樣,比丘!劫的時間就是如此長久。如此漫長的劫,經歷百千萬億的巨大痛苦,白骨堆積成山,膿血彙集成流,地獄、畜生、餓鬼等惡道輪迴。這就是,比丘!無始以來的生死輪迴,在漫長的黑夜裡輪轉,不知道痛苦的根源。因此,比丘!應當這樣學習:『斷除各種存在,不要讓它們增長。』』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (九四九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『眾生無始以來生死輪迴,在漫長的黑夜裡輪轉,不知道痛苦的根源。』 當時,有一位不同的比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,右膝跪地,合掌對佛說:『世尊!劫的時間有多長久呢?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『我能為你解說,但你難以理解。』 比丘對佛說:『可以用比喻來說明嗎?』 佛陀說:『可以的。比丘!譬如有一座巨大的石山,堅固不壞,邊長一由旬。如果有一個人,用迦尸的細布,每百年拂拭一次,不停地拂拭,直到石山完全消失,劫的時間仍然沒有結束。』

English version At that time, a certain bhikkhu rose from his seat, arranged his robe, bared his right shoulder, saluted the Buddha, knelt on his right knee, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, how long is a kalpa?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'I can explain it to you, but it is difficult for you to understand.' The bhikkhu said to the Buddha: 'Can a simile be used?' The Buddha said: 'It can be used, bhikkhu! Suppose there is an iron city, one yojana square, and the same in height, filled with mustard seeds. If someone were to take one mustard seed every hundred years, and when all the mustard seeds were exhausted, the kalpa would still not be finished. Thus, bhikkhu! That is how long a kalpa is. Such a long kalpa, with hundreds of thousands of millions of great sufferings continuing, white bones forming hills, pus and blood flowing like rivers, hells, animals, hungry ghosts, and evil realms. This, bhikkhu! is called beginningless samsara, wandering in the long night, not knowing the root of suffering. Therefore, bhikkhu! you should learn thus: 「Cut off all existences, do not let them increase.」' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (949) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Beings have beginningless samsara, wandering in the long night, not knowing the root of suffering.' At that time, a certain bhikkhu rose from his seat, arranged his robe, saluted the Buddha, knelt on his right knee, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, how long is a kalpa?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'I can explain it to you, but it is difficult for you to understand.' The bhikkhu said to the Buddha: 'Can a simile be used?' The Buddha said: 'It can be used. Bhikkhu! Suppose there is a great stone mountain, unbroken and indestructible, one yojana square. If a man were to brush it once every hundred years with a Kasi cloth, and continue to brush it until the stone mountain was completely gone, the kalpa would still not be finished.'

English version: Monks! For such a long kalpa, experiencing suffering for hundreds of thousands of millions of kalpas, even monks! You should learn thus: 『Cut off all existences, do not let them increase.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (950) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 『The cycle of birth and death of sentient beings has no beginning, they revolve in the long night, not knowing the fundamental boundary of suffering.』 Then, a certain monk rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, bowed to the Buddha, knelt on his right knee, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 『World Honored One! How many kalpas have passed?』 The Buddha told the monk: 『I can fully explain it, but it is very difficult for you to understand.』 The monk said to the Buddha: 『Can it be explained with a metaphor?』 The Buddha said: 『It can. For example, monk! There is a man who lives for a hundred years, in the morning he remembers three hundred thousand kalpas, at noon he remembers three hundred thousand kalpas, and in the evening he remembers three hundred thousand kalpas. If he remembers kalpas like this every day, and his life ends after a hundred years, he still cannot remember the boundary of the kalpas. Monks should know that the past kalpas are immeasurable like this, in the past immeasurable kalpas, they have suffered in the long night, the accumulated bones have become mountains, the marrow and blood have become rivers, even in hell, as animals, as hungry ghosts, and in other evil realms. Thus, monks! The cycle of birth and death has no beginning, they revolve in the long night, not knowing the fundamental boundary of suffering. Therefore, monks! You should learn thus: 『Cut off all existences, do not let them increase.』』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (951) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti.

English version: Just like the east, south, west, and north, countless lands go through periods of formation and destruction, like a great rain falling all over the world without ceasing. In this way, beings have been transmigrating through birth and death since beginningless time, revolving in the long night, not knowing the root of suffering. It's like throwing a stick in the air, sometimes the head lands, sometimes the tail lands, sometimes the middle lands; in this way, beings have been transmigrating through birth and death since beginningless time, revolving in the long night, sometimes falling into hell, sometimes falling into the animal realm, sometimes falling into the realm of hungry ghosts. In this way, beings have been transmigrating through birth and death since beginningless time, revolving in the long night. Therefore, monks! You should train yourselves like this: 'Cut off all forms of existence, do not let them increase.'

You should generate revulsion towards all conditioned things, seek joy, and seek liberation.' 'Monks! In the past, this Mount Vipula was called Long Bamboo Mountain, and there were many people living around the mountain, called the village of Dimira.'

「諸比丘!過去世時,此毗富羅山名曰朋迦。時,有人民繞山而居,名阿毗迦邑,彼時人民壽三萬歲,阿毗迦人上此山頂,經三日中乃得往反。時,世有佛,名拘那含牟尼如來、應、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊出興於世,演說經法,初、中、后善,善義善味,純一滿凈,梵行清白,開發顯示。諸比丘!彼朋迦山名字久滅,阿毗迦邑人亦久亡沒,彼佛世尊亦般涅槃。如是,比丘!一切諸行皆悉無常、不恒、不安、變易之法,汝等比丘當修厭離、求樂、解脫。

「諸比丘!過去世時,此毗富羅山名宿波羅首,有諸人民繞山居止,名赤馬邑,人壽二萬歲,彼諸人民上此山頂,經二日中乃得往反

現代漢語譯本:低彌羅邑的人壽命有四萬歲,低彌羅邑的人要到這座山頂,來回需要四天。當時,世上有佛,名為迦羅迦孫提如來、應供、正等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊出現於世,說法教化,初善、中善、后善,意義美好,味道美好,純一圓滿清凈,梵行清白,開發顯示。那長竹山如今名字也已消失,低彌羅聚落的人民也已滅亡,那位佛如來也已般涅槃。比丘們!應當知道一切諸行都是無常、不恒常、不安穩、會變化的,對於一切諸行,應當修習厭離、離欲、解脫。 過去世時,這座毗富羅山名為朋迦。當時,有人民圍繞山居住,名為阿毗迦邑,那時的人民壽命有三萬歲,阿毗迦人要到這座山頂,來回需要三天。當時,世上有佛,名為拘那含牟尼如來、應供、正等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊出現於世,演說經法,初善、中善、后善,意義美好,味道美好,純一圓滿清凈,梵行清白,開發顯示。比丘們!那朋迦山的名字早已消失,阿毗迦邑的人民也早已滅亡,那位佛世尊也已般涅槃。如此,比丘們!一切諸行都是無常、不恒常、不安穩、會變化的,你們比丘應當修習厭離、求樂、解脫。 過去世時,這座毗富羅山名為宿波羅首,有人民圍繞山居住,名為赤馬邑,人民壽命有二萬歲,那些人民要到這座山頂,來回需要兩天。

English version: The people of the Low Mi Luo village had a lifespan of 40,000 years. It took the people of Low Mi Luo four days to travel to the top of this mountain and back. At that time, there was a Buddha in the world named Krakucchanda Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, Vidyacarana-sampanna, Sugata, Lokavid, Anuttara-purusa-damya-sarathi, Sasta deva-manusyanam, Buddha Bhagavan, who appeared in the world, teaching the Dharma, which was good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with good meaning and good taste, pure and complete, with pure conduct, revealing and showing. That Long Bamboo Mountain has now disappeared, the people of the Low Mi Luo village have also perished, and that Buddha Tathagata has also attained Parinirvana. Monks! You should know that all conditioned things are impermanent, not constant, not stable, and subject to change. Regarding all conditioned things, you should cultivate aversion, detachment, and liberation. In the past, this Vipula Mountain was called Pengjia. At that time, there were people living around the mountain, called the Abhika village. The people at that time had a lifespan of 30,000 years. It took the people of Abhika three days to travel to the top of this mountain and back. At that time, there was a Buddha in the world named Kanakamuni Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, Vidyacarana-sampanna, Sugata, Lokavid, Anuttara-purusa-damya-sarathi, Sasta deva-manusyanam, Buddha Bhagavan, who appeared in the world, expounding the Dharma, which was good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with good meaning and good taste, pure and complete, with pure conduct, revealing and showing. Monks! The name of that Pengjia Mountain has long disappeared, the people of the Abhika village have also long perished, and that Buddha Bhagavan has also attained Parinirvana. Thus, monks! All conditioned things are impermanent, not constant, not stable, and subject to change. You monks should cultivate aversion, seek joy, and liberation. In the past, this Vipula Mountain was called Sukparashu. There were people living around the mountain, called the Red Horse village. The people had a lifespan of 20,000 years. It took those people two days to travel to the top of this mountain and back.


。爾時,有佛名曰迦葉如來、應供,乃至出興於世,演說經法,初、中、后善,善義善味,純一滿凈,梵行清白,開示顯現。比丘!當知宿波羅首山名字久滅,赤馬邑人亦久亡沒,彼佛世尊亦般涅槃。如是,比丘!一切諸行皆悉無常、不恒、不安、變易之法。是故,比丘!當修厭離、離欲、解脫。

「諸比丘!今日此山名毗富羅,有諸人民繞山而居,名摩竭提國,此諸人民壽命百歲,善自訊息,得滿百歲,摩竭提人上此山頂,須臾往反,我今於此得成如來、應、等正覺,乃至佛世尊,演說正法,教化令得寂滅涅槃、正道、善逝、覺知。比丘!當知此毗富羅山名亦當磨滅,摩竭提人亦當亡沒,如來不久當般涅槃。如是,比丘!一切諸行悉皆無常、不恒、不安、變易之法。是故,比丘!當修厭離、離欲、解脫。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「古昔長竹山,  低彌羅村邑,  次名朋迦山,  阿毗迦聚落,  宿波羅首山,  聚落名赤馬,  今毗富羅山,  國名摩竭陀,  名山悉磨滅,  其人悉沒亡,  諸佛般涅槃,  有者無不盡。  一切行無常,  悉皆生滅法,  有生無不盡,  唯寂滅為樂。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:那時,有一位佛名叫迦葉如來、應供,乃至出現於世,演說經法,初善、中善、后善,意義美好,味道美好,純一圓滿清凈,梵行清白,開示顯現。比丘們!應當知道宿波羅首山的名字早已消失,赤馬邑的人民也早已滅亡,那位佛世尊也已般涅槃。如此,比丘們!一切諸行都是無常、不恒常、不安穩、變易的法則。因此,比丘們!應當修習厭離、離欲、解脫。 諸位比丘!今天這座山名叫毗富羅,有許多人民環繞山而居住,名叫摩竭提國,這些人民壽命百歲,善於保養自己,能夠活滿百歲,摩竭提人登上這座山頂,一會兒就往返。我今天在這裡成就如來、應、等正覺,乃至佛世尊,演說正法,教化眾生令得寂滅涅槃、正道、善逝、覺知。比丘們!應當知道這座毗富羅山的名字也將磨滅,摩竭提人也將滅亡,如來不久也將般涅槃。如此,比丘們!一切諸行都是無常、不恒常、不安穩、變易的法則。因此,比丘們!應當修習厭離、離欲、解脫。 當時,世尊即說偈語: 『古時候有長竹山,低彌羅村邑, 其次名叫朋迦山,阿毗迦聚落, 宿波羅首山,聚落名叫赤馬, 現在是毗富羅山,國家名叫摩竭陀, 名山都將磨滅,那裡的人民都將滅亡, 諸佛都將般涅槃,有生者沒有不終盡的。 一切行都是無常的,都是生滅的法則, 有生者沒有不終盡的,唯有寂滅才是快樂。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

English version: At that time, there was a Buddha named Kāśyapa Tathāgata, Arhat, who appeared in the world, expounding the Dharma, which was good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with good meaning and good taste, pure and complete, with pure conduct, revealing and manifesting. Monks! You should know that the name of Mount Sukaraparashva has long been extinguished, and the people of the town of Red Horse have also long perished, and that Buddha, the World Honored One, has also entered Parinirvana. Thus, monks! All conditioned things are impermanent, not constant, not secure, and subject to change. Therefore, monks! You should cultivate detachment, dispassion, and liberation. Monks! Today, this mountain is called Vipula, and there are many people living around the mountain, called the country of Magadha. These people live for a hundred years, take good care of themselves, and can live to be a hundred years old. The people of Magadha climb to the top of this mountain and return in a short while. Today, I have attained the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksaṃbuddha here, and even the Buddha, the World Honored One, expounds the true Dharma, teaching sentient beings to attain the peace of Nirvana, the right path, the Well-Gone One, and enlightenment. Monks! You should know that the name of this Mount Vipula will also be extinguished, and the people of Magadha will also perish, and the Tathagata will soon enter Parinirvana. Thus, monks! All conditioned things are impermanent, not constant, not secure, and subject to change. Therefore, monks! You should cultivate detachment, dispassion, and liberation. At that time, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 'In ancient times, there was Mount Long Bamboo, and the town of Dimira, Then it was called Mount Pangka, and the settlement of Abhika, Mount Sukaraparashva, and the settlement called Red Horse, Now it is Mount Vipula, and the country is called Magadha, The famous mountains will all be extinguished, and the people there will all perish, All Buddhas will enter Parinirvana, and those who are born will not escape their end. All conditioned things are impermanent, they are all subject to arising and ceasing, Those who are born will not escape their end, only Nirvana is bliss.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有婆蹉種出家來詣佛所,合掌問訊,問訊已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!欲有所問,寧有閑暇見答以不?」

佛告婆蹉種出家:「隨汝所問,當爲汝說。」

婆蹉種出家白佛言:「云何?瞿曇!命即身耶?」

佛告婆蹉種出家:「命即身者,此是無記。」

「云何?瞿曇!為命異身異耶?」

佛告婆蹉種出家:「命異身異者,此亦無記。」

婆蹉種出家白佛:「云何?瞿曇!命即身耶?答言:『無記』。命異身異?答言:『無記』。沙門瞿曇有何等奇?弟子命終,即記說言:『某生彼處,某生彼處。』彼諸弟子於此命終捨身,即乘意生身生於余處。當於爾時,非為命異身異也?」

佛告婆蹉:「此說有餘,不說無餘。」

婆蹉白佛:「瞿曇!云何說有餘,不說無餘?」

佛告婆蹉:「譬如火,有餘得然,非無餘。」

婆蹉白佛:「我見火無餘亦然。」

佛告婆蹉:「云何見火無餘亦然?」

婆蹉白佛:「譬如大聚熾火,疾風來吹,火飛空中,豈非無餘火耶?」

佛告婆蹉:「風吹飛火,即是有餘,非無餘也

現代漢語譯本 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有個名叫婆蹉的出家人來到佛陀所在的地方,合掌問候,問候完畢后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇!我有些問題想請教,您是否有空閑時間回答呢?』 佛陀告訴婆蹉出家人:『你儘管問,我會為你解答。』 婆蹉出家人問佛陀:『瞿曇!生命就是身體嗎?』 佛陀告訴婆蹉出家人:『說生命就是身體,這是不可記說的。』 『瞿曇!那麼,生命和身體是不同的嗎?』 佛陀告訴婆蹉出家人:『說生命和身體是不同的,這也是不可記說的。』 婆蹉出家人對佛陀說:『瞿曇!說生命就是身體,您回答『不可記說』;說生命和身體不同,您也回答『不可記說』。沙門瞿曇有什麼特別之處呢?您的弟子去世后,您就記說『某人往生到那裡,某人往生到那裡』。那些弟子在此處捨棄身體后,就乘著意生身往生到其他地方。在那個時候,難道不是生命和身體不同嗎?』 佛陀告訴婆蹉:『這種說法是有餘的,不是無餘的。』 婆蹉問佛陀:『瞿曇!怎麼說是有餘,不是無餘呢?』 佛陀告訴婆蹉:『譬如火,有餘燼才能燃燒,不是無餘燼。』 婆蹉對佛陀說:『我看到火無餘燼也能燃燒。』 佛陀問婆蹉:『你如何看到火無餘燼也能燃燒呢?』 婆蹉對佛陀說:『譬如一大堆熾烈的火焰,疾風吹來,火焰飛到空中,難道不是無餘燼的火嗎?』 佛陀告訴婆蹉:『風吹飛的火焰,那是有餘燼的,不是無餘燼的。』

English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, a wandering ascetic named Vacchagotta came to where the Buddha was, greeted him with palms joined, and after the greeting, sat down to one side and said to the Buddha: 'Gotama! I have some questions to ask, do you have the leisure to answer them?' The Buddha said to Vacchagotta the ascetic: 'Ask whatever you wish, I will explain it to you.' Vacchagotta the ascetic asked the Buddha: 'Gotama! Is life the same as the body?' The Buddha said to Vacchagotta the ascetic: 'To say that life is the same as the body, this is unrecordable.' 'Gotama! Then, is life different from the body?' The Buddha said to Vacchagotta the ascetic: 'To say that life is different from the body, this is also unrecordable.' Vacchagotta the ascetic said to the Buddha: 'Gotama! When asked if life is the same as the body, you answer 'unrecordable'; when asked if life is different from the body, you also answer 'unrecordable'. What is so special about the ascetic Gotama? When your disciples die, you record and say, 'So-and-so was reborn there, so-and-so was reborn there.' Those disciples, having abandoned their bodies here, are reborn elsewhere with a mind-made body. At that time, isn't it that life is different from the body?' The Buddha said to Vacchagotta: 'This statement is with remainder, not without remainder.' Vacchagotta asked the Buddha: 'Gotama! How is it with remainder, and not without remainder?' The Buddha said to Vacchagotta: 'It is like fire, it can burn with remainder, not without remainder.' Vacchagotta said to the Buddha: 'I have seen fire burn without remainder.' The Buddha asked Vacchagotta: 'How have you seen fire burn without remainder?' Vacchagotta said to the Buddha: 'For example, a large pile of blazing fire, when a strong wind comes and blows the fire into the air, isn't that fire without remainder?' The Buddha said to Vacchagotta: 'The fire blown by the wind is with remainder, not without remainder.'


。」

婆蹉白佛:「瞿曇!空中飛火。云何名有餘?」

佛告婆蹉:「空中飛火依風故住,依風故然;以依風故,故說有餘。」

婆蹉白佛:「眾生於此命終,乘意生身往生余處。云何有餘?」

佛告婆蹉:「眾生於此處命終,乘意生身生於余處,當於爾時,因愛故取,因愛而住,故說有餘。」

婆蹉白佛:「眾生以愛樂有餘,染著有餘;唯有世尊得彼無餘,成等正覺。沙門瞿曇!世間多緣,請辭還去。」

佛告婆蹉:「宜知是時!」

婆蹉出家聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起而去。

(九五八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,尊者大目揵連亦于彼住。

時,有婆蹉種出家詣尊者大目揵連所,與尊者目揵連面相問訊慰勞,慰勞已,退坐一面,語尊者大目揵連:「欲有所問,寧有閑暇見答以不?」

目連答言:「婆蹉!隨意所問,知者當答。」

時,婆蹉種出家問尊者目揵連:「何因、何緣余沙門、婆羅門有人來問云何如來有後死、無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死,皆悉隨答

現代漢語譯本 婆蹉對佛說:『瞿曇!空中飛火,為什麼說是有餘呢?』 佛告訴婆蹉:『空中飛火依靠風而存在,依靠風而燃燒;因為依靠風,所以說是有餘。』 婆蹉對佛說:『眾生在此處死亡,憑藉意念所生的身體往生到其他地方,為什麼說是有餘呢?』 佛告訴婆蹉:『眾生在此處死亡,憑藉意念所生的身體往生到其他地方,當在那時,因為愛而執取,因為愛而存在,所以說是有餘。』 婆蹉對佛說:『眾生因為愛而樂於有餘,執著于有餘;只有世尊您才能獲得那無餘,成就正等正覺。沙門瞿曇!世間俗事繁多,請允許我告辭離去。』 佛告訴婆蹉:『你應當知道時機!』 婆蹉聽聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位起身離去。 (九五八) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。當時,尊者大目犍連也住在那裡。 當時,有婆蹉種出家來到尊者大目犍連處,與尊者目犍連互相問候慰勞,慰勞完畢,退坐在一旁,對尊者大目犍連說:『我想請教一些問題,您是否有空閑時間回答呢?』 目犍連回答說:『婆蹉!你隨意發問,知道的我會回答。』 當時,婆蹉種出家問尊者目犍連:『因為什麼原因,其他沙門、婆羅門有人來問如來死後是有、無、亦有亦無、非有非無,都一一回答

English version Vatsa said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! Fire flies in the air. Why is it said to have remainder?' The Buddha told Vatsa, 'Fire flying in the air exists because of the wind, and burns because of the wind; because it relies on the wind, it is said to have remainder.' Vatsa said to the Buddha, 'When beings die here, they are reborn elsewhere with a mind-made body. Why is it said to have remainder?' The Buddha told Vatsa, 'When beings die here, they are reborn elsewhere with a mind-made body, at that time, because of love they grasp, and because of love they exist, therefore it is said to have remainder.' Vatsa said to the Buddha, 'Beings love and are attached to having remainder; only the World Honored One attains that without remainder, achieving complete enlightenment. Ascetic Gautama! The world has many affairs, please allow me to take my leave.' The Buddha told Vatsa, 'You should know the right time!' Vatsa, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, and rose from his seat and departed. (958) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the venerable Maha Moggallana was also staying there. Then, a wandering ascetic of the Vatsa clan came to the venerable Maha Moggallana, exchanged greetings and pleasantries with the venerable Moggallana, and after the pleasantries, sat down to one side and said to the venerable Maha Moggallana, 'I wish to ask some questions, do you have the leisure to answer?' Moggallana replied, 'Vatsa! Ask whatever you wish, I will answer what I know.' Then, the wandering ascetic of the Vatsa clan asked the venerable Moggallana, 'For what reason do other ascetics and Brahmins, when asked whether the Tathagata exists after death, does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death, all answer accordingly?'


。而沙門瞿曇有來問言如來有後死、無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死,而不記說?」

目揵連言:「婆蹉!余沙門、婆羅門於色、色集、色滅、色味、色患、色出不如實知;不如實知故,于如來有後死則取著,如來無後死、有後死、有無後死、非有後死非無後死則生取著。受、想、行、識、識集、識滅、識味、識患、識出不如實知;不如實知故,于如來有後死生取著,無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死生取著。

「如來者,於色如實知,色集、色滅、色味、色患、色出如實知;如實知故,于如來有後死則不著,無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死則不著。受、想、行、識如實知,識集、識滅、識味、識患、識出如實知;如實知故,于如來有後死則不然,無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死則不然。甚深廣大,無量無數,皆悉寂滅。

「婆蹉!如是因、如是緣,余沙門、婆羅門若有來問如來有後死、無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死,則為記說。如是因、如是緣,如來若有來問如來有後死、無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死,不為記說。」

時,婆蹉種出家聞尊者大目揵連所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起而去。

(九五九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本:『沙門瞿曇被問及如來死後是否存在、死後不存在、死後既存在又不存在、死後既非存在也非不存在時,為何不作答呢?』 目犍連說:『婆蹉!其他沙門、婆羅門對於色、色的生起、色的滅盡、色的樂味、色的過患、色的出離不能如實知曉;因為不能如實知曉,所以對於如來死後是否存在就產生執著,對於如來死後不存在、死後既存在又不存在、死後既非存在也非不存在也產生執著。對於受、想、行、識、識的生起、識的滅盡、識的樂味、識的過患、識的出離不能如實知曉;因為不能如實知曉,所以對於如來死後是否存在就產生執著,對於死後不存在、死後既存在又不存在、死後既非存在也非不存在也產生執著。』 『如來對於色如實知曉,對於色的生起、色的滅盡、色的樂味、色的過患、色的出離如實知曉;因為如實知曉,所以對於如來死後是否存在就不執著,對於死後不存在、死後既存在又不存在、死後既非存在也非不存在也不執著。對於受、想、行、識如實知曉,對於識的生起、識的滅盡、識的樂味、識的過患、識的出離如實知曉;因為如實知曉,所以對於如來死後是否存在就不執著,對於死後不存在、死後既存在又不存在、死後既非存在也非不存在也不執著。這些都是甚深廣大,無量無數,完全寂滅的。』 『婆蹉!就是因為這樣的原因、這樣的緣故,其他沙門、婆羅門如果來問如來死後是否存在、死後不存在、死後既存在又不存在、死後既非存在也非不存在,就會作出回答。也是因為這樣的原因、這樣的緣故,如果有人來問如來死後是否存在、死後不存在、死後既存在又不存在、死後既非存在也非不存在,如來不會作出回答。』 當時,婆蹉種出家聽聞尊者大目犍連所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位起身離去。 (九五九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

English version: 'Why is it that when the ascetic Gotama is asked whether the Tathagata exists after death, does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death, he does not answer?' Moggallana said: 'Vaccha! Other ascetics and brahmins do not truly know the nature of form, the arising of form, the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form; because they do not truly know, they become attached to the idea that the Tathagata exists after death, and they become attached to the idea that the Tathagata does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death. They do not truly know the nature of feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness, the arising of consciousness, the cessation of consciousness, the gratification of consciousness, the danger of consciousness, and the escape from consciousness; because they do not truly know, they become attached to the idea that the Tathagata exists after death, and they become attached to the idea that the Tathagata does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death.' 'The Tathagata truly knows the nature of form, the arising of form, the cessation of form, the gratification of form, the danger of form, and the escape from form; because he truly knows, he is not attached to the idea that the Tathagata exists after death, nor is he attached to the idea that the Tathagata does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death. He truly knows the nature of feeling, perception, volitional formations, and consciousness, the arising of consciousness, the cessation of consciousness, the gratification of consciousness, the danger of consciousness, and the escape from consciousness; because he truly knows, he is not attached to the idea that the Tathagata exists after death, nor is he attached to the idea that the Tathagata does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death. These are profound, vast, immeasurable, and countless, all completely extinguished.' 'Vaccha! It is because of this cause, this reason, that if other ascetics and brahmins come and ask whether the Tathagata exists after death, does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death, they will be answered. It is also because of this cause, this reason, that if someone comes and asks whether the Tathagata exists after death, does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death, the Tathagata will not answer.' Then, the wanderer Vacchagotta, having heard what the venerable Mahamoggallana had said, was pleased and delighted, and rose from his seat and departed. (959) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha.


時,有婆蹉種出家來詣佛所,合掌問訊,問訊已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!何因、何緣余沙門、婆羅門若有來問……」如上廣說。

爾時,婆蹉種出家嘆言:「奇哉!瞿曇!弟子、大師義同義、句同句、味同味,乃至同第一義。瞿曇!我今詣摩訶目揵連,以如是義、如是句、如是味而問于彼,彼亦以如是義、如是句、如是味而答我,如今瞿曇所說。是故,瞿曇!真為奇特,大師、弟子義同義、句同句、味同味,同第一義。」

爾時,婆蹉種出家有諸因緣至那梨聚落。營事訖已,詣尊者詵陀迦旃延所,共相問訊,問訊已,退坐一面,問詵陀迦旃延:「何因、何緣沙門瞿曇若有來問如來有後死、無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死,不為記說?」

詵陀迦旃延語婆蹉種出家:「我今問汝,隨意答我。于汝意云何?若因、若緣,若行身施,若色、若無色,若想、若非想、若非想非非想,若彼因、彼緣、彼行無餘行滅。永滅已,如來於彼有所記說,言:『有後死、無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死』耶?」

婆蹉種出家語詵陀迦旃延:「若因、若緣,若種施設諸行,若色、若非色,若想、若非想、若非想非非想,彼因、彼緣、彼行無餘滅

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位名叫婆蹉的出家人來到佛陀的住所,合掌行禮問候,問候完畢后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇!是什麼原因、什麼緣故,其他的沙門、婆羅門如果來問……』(內容如上文所述)。 這時,婆蹉出家人感嘆道:『真是奇特啊!瞿曇!您的弟子和您,在意義上相同,在語句上相同,在味道上相同,甚至在第一義上也相同。瞿曇!我現在去拜訪摩訶目犍連,用同樣的意義、同樣的語句、同樣的味道去問他,他也會用同樣的意義、同樣的語句、同樣的味道來回答我,就像現在瞿曇您所說的一樣。所以,瞿曇!真是太奇特了,大師和弟子在意義上相同,在語句上相同,在味道上相同,在第一義上也相同。』 後來,婆蹉出家人因為一些事情去了那梨聚落。事情辦完后,他去拜訪了尊者詵陀迦旃延,互相問候之後,退坐在一旁,問詵陀迦旃延:『是什麼原因、什麼緣故,沙門瞿曇如果被問到如來死後存在、死後不存在、死後既存在又不存在、死後既非存在又非不存在,他都不做回答呢?』 詵陀迦旃延對婆蹉出家人說:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。你認為如何?如果因為某種原因、某種緣故,某種行為導致身體的施捨,無論是色、無色、有想、無想、非想非非想,如果這些原因、這些緣故、這些行為都完全滅盡。完全滅盡后,如來對於這些是否會做出回答,說:『死後存在、死後不存在、死後既存在又不存在、死後既非存在又非不存在』呢?』 婆蹉出家人對詵陀迦旃延說:『如果因為某種原因、某種緣故,某種行為導致各種施設,無論是色、非色、有想、無想、非想非非想,這些原因、這些緣故、這些行為都完全滅盡。

English version: At that time, a mendicant named Vacchagotta came to the Buddha's place, greeted him with palms together, and after greeting, sat down to one side and said to the Buddha: 'Gotama! What is the cause, what is the reason that other ascetics and Brahmins, if they come to ask...' (as described above). Then, the mendicant Vacchagotta exclaimed: 'It is amazing! Gotama! Your disciples and you are the same in meaning, the same in words, the same in taste, and even the same in the ultimate meaning. Gotama! I will now visit Mahā Moggallāna, and ask him with the same meaning, the same words, the same taste, and he will answer me with the same meaning, the same words, the same taste, just as you, Gotama, have said now. Therefore, Gotama! It is truly amazing that the master and disciples are the same in meaning, the same in words, the same in taste, and the same in the ultimate meaning.' Later, the mendicant Vacchagotta went to the village of Nali for some matters. After finishing his business, he visited the venerable Kaccāna, and after greeting each other, sat down to one side and asked Kaccāna: 'What is the cause, what is the reason that the ascetic Gotama, if asked whether the Tathagata exists after death, does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death, does not give an answer?' Kaccāna said to the mendicant Vacchagotta: 'I will now ask you, answer me as you please. What do you think? If because of some cause, some reason, some action that leads to the giving up of the body, whether it is form, formless, perception, non-perception, or neither perception nor non-perception, if these causes, these reasons, these actions are completely extinguished. After being completely extinguished, would the Tathagata make a statement about them, saying: 『Exists after death, does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death』?' The mendicant Vacchagotta said to Kaccāna: 'If because of some cause, some reason, some action that leads to various establishments, whether it is form, formless, perception, non-perception, or neither perception nor non-perception, these causes, these reasons, these actions are completely extinguished.'


。云何瞿曇于彼記說如來有後死、無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死?」

詵陀迦旃延語婆蹉種出家:「是故如來以是因、以是緣故,有問如來有後死、無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死,不為記說。」

婆蹉種出家問詵陀迦旃延:「汝于沙門瞿曇弟子,為日久如?」

詵陀迦旃延答言:「少過三年,于正法、律出家修梵行。」

婆蹉種出家言:「詵陀迦旃延!快得善利,少時出家而得如是身律儀、口律儀,又得如是智慧辯才。」

時,婆蹉種出家聞詵陀迦旃延所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起去。

(九六〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有婆蹉種出家來詣佛所,合掌問訊,問訊已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!欲有所問,寧有閑暇為解說不?」

佛告婆蹉種出家:「隨所欲問,當爲汝說。」

婆蹉種出家白佛言:「瞿曇!何因、何緣有人來問如來有後死、無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死,而不為記說耶?」

佛告婆蹉種出家……如上詵陀迦旃延廣說,乃至「非有非無後死。」

婆蹉種出家白佛言:「奇哉!瞿曇!師及弟子義義同,句句同,味味同,其理悉合,所謂第一句說

『瞿曇,為何你對如來死後存在、死後不存在、死後既存在又不存在、死後既非存在又非不存在這些問題不作回答呢?』 詵陀迦旃延對婆蹉種出家說:『因此,如來因為這個原因、這個緣故,對於有人問如來死後存在、死後不存在、死後既存在又不存在、死後既非存在又非不存在這些問題,不作回答。』 婆蹉種出家問詵陀迦旃延:『你成為沙門瞿曇的弟子多久了?』 詵陀迦旃延回答說:『我出家修梵行,才剛過三年。』 婆蹉種出家說:『詵陀迦旃延!你真是幸運,出家不久就獲得瞭如此的身律儀、口律儀,又獲得瞭如此的智慧辯才。』 當時,婆蹉種出家聽了詵陀迦旃延所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離開了。 (九六〇) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位婆蹉種出家來到佛陀所在的地方,合掌問訊,問訊完畢后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇!我有些問題想請教,您是否有空為我解答呢?』 佛陀告訴婆蹉種出家:『你想問什麼就問吧,我會為你解答。』 婆蹉種出家對佛陀說:『瞿曇!是什麼原因、什麼緣故,有人問如來死後存在、死後不存在、死後既存在又不存在、死後既非存在又非不存在這些問題,您卻不作回答呢?』 佛陀告訴婆蹉種出家……就像上面詵陀迦旃延所說的,一直到『既非存在又非不存在』。 婆蹉種出家對佛陀說:『真是奇妙啊!瞿曇!您的老師和弟子,意義相同,語句相同,道理相同,其理完全一致,所謂第一句話說』

'Why, Gautama, do you not answer when asked whether the Tathagata exists after death, does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death?' Sendha Katyayana said to Vatsa the wanderer: 'Therefore, the Tathagata, for this reason and this cause, does not answer when asked whether the Tathagata exists after death, does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death.' Vatsa the wanderer asked Sendha Katyayana: 'How long have you been a disciple of the ascetic Gautama?' Sendha Katyayana replied: 'It has been a little over three years since I went forth into the holy life under the Dharma and Discipline.' Vatsa the wanderer said: 'Sendha Katyayana! You have gained great benefit, having gone forth so recently and yet having attained such bodily discipline, verbal discipline, and such wisdom and eloquence.' Then, Vatsa the wanderer, having heard what Sendha Katyayana said, rejoiced and approved, and rose from his seat and departed. (960) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, Vatsa the wanderer came to where the Buddha was, greeted him with palms joined, and after the greeting, sat down to one side and said to the Buddha: 'Gautama, I have some questions to ask, do you have the time to explain them?' The Buddha said to Vatsa the wanderer: 'Ask whatever you wish, and I will explain it to you.' Vatsa the wanderer said to the Buddha: 'Gautama, what is the reason, what is the cause, that when someone asks whether the Tathagata exists after death, does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death, you do not answer?' The Buddha said to Vatsa the wanderer... as Sendha Katyayana explained above, up to 'neither exists nor does not exist after death.' Vatsa the wanderer said to the Buddha: 'Wonderful, Gautama! The teacher and the disciple are the same in meaning, the same in words, the same in taste, and their reasoning is completely consistent, as the first statement says'


。瞿曇!我為小緣事至那利伽聚落,營事訖已,暫過沙門迦旃延,以如是義、如是句、如是味問沙門迦旃延,彼亦以如是義、如是句、如是味答我所問,如今沙門瞿曇所說。是故當知,實為奇特!師及弟子義、句、味,義、句、味悉同。」

時,婆蹉種出家聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起而去。

(九六一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有婆蹉種出家來詣佛所,合掌問訊,問訊已,退坐一面,白佛言:「云何?瞿曇!為有我耶?」

爾時,世尊默然不答。

如是再三。爾時,世尊亦再三不答。

爾時,婆蹉種出家作是念:「我已三問沙門瞿曇,而不見答,但當還去。」

時,尊者阿難住于佛后,執扇扇佛。爾時,阿難白佛言:「世尊!彼婆蹉種出家三問,世尊何故不答?豈不增彼婆蹉種出家惡邪見,言沙門不能答其所問?」

佛告阿難:「我若答言有我,則增彼先來邪見;若答言無我,彼先癡惑豈不更增癡惑?言先有我從今斷滅。若先來有我則是常見,於今斷滅則是斷見。如來離於二邊,處中說法,所謂是事有故是事有,是事起故是事生,謂緣無明行,乃至生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦滅

現代漢語譯本:瞿曇啊!我因為一些小事去了那利伽聚落,事情辦完后,我順道拜訪了沙門迦旃延,我用同樣的道理、語句和含義向他請教,他也用同樣的道理、語句和含義回答我的問題,就像現在沙門瞿曇您所說的一樣。因此,我不得不說,這真是太奇特了!老師和弟子在道理、語句和含義上竟然完全一致。 當時,婆蹉種出家聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離開了。 (九六一) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位婆蹉種出家來到佛陀所在的地方,合掌問候,問候完畢后,退到一旁坐下,對佛陀說:『瞿曇啊!到底有沒有『我』這個東西呢?』 當時,世尊沉默不語,沒有回答。 他這樣問了三次。當時,世尊也三次都沒有回答。 當時,婆蹉種出家心想:『我已經問了沙門瞿曇三次,他都沒有回答,我還是回去吧。』 當時,尊者阿難站在佛陀身後,拿著扇子為佛陀扇風。當時,阿難對佛陀說:『世尊!那位婆蹉種出家問了三次,世尊為什麼不回答呢?難道不會增加那位婆蹉種出家的邪見,認為沙門不能回答他所問的問題嗎?』 佛陀告訴阿難:『我如果回答說有『我』,就會增加他原有的邪見;如果回答說沒有『我』,他原有的迷惑豈不是會更加迷惑?他會認為原先有『我』,現在卻斷滅了。如果原先有『我』,那就是常見;現在斷滅了,那就是斷見。如來遠離這兩種極端,採取中道說法,所謂『因為有這個,所以有那個;因為這個生起,所以那個也生起』,也就是緣于無明而有行,乃至生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦的滅盡。』

English version: 'Gotama! I went to the village of Nalika for some minor business, and after finishing it, I briefly visited the ascetic Kaccāna. I asked him about the same meaning, the same words, and the same implications, and he answered me with the same meaning, the same words, and the same implications, just as the ascetic Gotama is saying now. Therefore, I must say, this is truly remarkable! The teacher and the disciple are completely consistent in meaning, words, and implications.' Then, the ascetic Vacchagotta, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and approved, and rose from his seat and departed. (961) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. Then, the ascetic Vacchagotta came to where the Buddha was, greeted him with joined palms, and after the greeting, sat down to one side and said to the Buddha: 'Gotama! Is there a self or not?' At that time, the Blessed One remained silent and did not answer. He asked this three times. At that time, the Blessed One also did not answer three times. Then, the ascetic Vacchagotta thought: 'I have asked the ascetic Gotama three times, and he has not answered. I should just go back.' At that time, the venerable Ananda was standing behind the Buddha, fanning him with a fan. Then, Ananda said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir! That ascetic Vacchagotta asked three times, why did the Blessed One not answer? Would it not increase that ascetic Vacchagotta's wrong view, thinking that the ascetic cannot answer his question?' The Buddha said to Ananda: 'If I were to answer that there is a self, it would increase his pre-existing wrong view; if I were to answer that there is no self, would his pre-existing delusion not be further increased? He would think that there was a self before, but now it is annihilated. If there was a self before, that would be eternalism; now it is annihilated, that would be annihilationism. The Tathagata avoids these two extremes and teaches the Dhamma in the middle way, that is, 'because this exists, that exists; because this arises, that arises,' that is, conditioned by ignorance are volitional formations, and so on, up to the cessation of birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair.'


。」

佛說此經已,尊者阿難聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九六二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,婆蹉種出家來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊,問訊已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!云何瞿曇作如是見、如是說:『世間常,此是真實,余則虛妄。』耶?」

佛告婆蹉種出家:「我不作如是見、如是說:『世間常,是則真實,余則虛妄。』」

「云何瞿曇作如是見、如是說:『世間無常、常無常、非常非無常,有邊、無邊、邊無邊、非邊非無邊,命即是身、命異身異,如來有後死、無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死。』?」

佛告婆蹉種出家:「我不作如是見、如是說,乃至非有非無後死。」

爾時,婆蹉種出家白佛言:「瞿曇!於此見,見何等過患,而於此諸見,一切不說?」

佛告婆蹉種出家:「若作是見,世間常,此則真實,余則虛妄者,此是倒見、此是觀察見、此是動搖見、此是垢污見、此是結見,是苦、是閡、是惱、是熱,見結所繫,愚癡無聞凡夫于未來世,生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦生

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地接受並實行。

(九六二)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

當時,婆蹉種出家來到佛陀所在的地方,與世尊互相問候,問候完畢后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『喬達摩!你為什麼會有這樣的見解、這樣的說法:『世界是永恒的,這是真實的,其他的都是虛妄的。』呢?』

佛陀告訴婆蹉種出家:『我沒有這樣的見解、這樣的說法:『世界是永恒的,這是真實的,其他的都是虛妄的。』

『那麼,喬達摩你為什麼會有這樣的見解、這樣的說法:『世界是無常的、既是常又是無常的、既不是常也不是無常的,有邊際的、無邊際的、既有邊際又無邊際的、既不是有邊際也不是無邊際的,生命就是身體、生命與身體不同,如來死後存在、死後不存在、既存在又不存在、既非存在也非不存在。』呢?』

佛陀告訴婆蹉種出家:『我沒有這樣的見解、這樣的說法,乃至既非存在也非不存在。』

當時,婆蹉種出家對佛陀說:『喬達摩!你看到這些見解有什麼過患,而對這些見解,一切都不說呢?』

佛陀告訴婆蹉種出家:『如果持有這樣的見解,認為世界是永恒的,這是真實的,其他的都是虛妄的,這就是顛倒的見解、這是觀察的見解、這是動搖的見解、這是污垢的見解、這是束縛的見解,是痛苦、是障礙、是煩惱、是熱惱,被見解所束縛,愚癡無聞的凡夫在未來世,會產生生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。』

English version After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it.

(Nine Sixty-Two)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.

At that time, the ascetic Vacchagotta came to where the Buddha was, exchanged greetings with the World Honored One, and after the greetings, sat down to one side and said to the Buddha: 'Gautama! Why do you hold such a view and say: 'The world is eternal, this is the truth, and the rest is false?'

The Buddha said to the ascetic Vacchagotta: 'I do not hold such a view and say: 'The world is eternal, this is the truth, and the rest is false.'

'Then, Gautama, why do you hold such a view and say: 'The world is impermanent, both permanent and impermanent, neither permanent nor impermanent, finite, infinite, both finite and infinite, neither finite nor infinite, life is the body, life is different from the body, the Tathagata exists after death, does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, neither exists nor does not exist after death?'

The Buddha said to the ascetic Vacchagotta: 'I do not hold such a view and say, even to neither exists nor does not exist after death.'

At that time, the ascetic Vacchagotta said to the Buddha: 'Gautama! What fault do you see in these views, that you do not speak of any of them?'

The Buddha said to the ascetic Vacchagotta: 'If one holds such a view, thinking that the world is eternal, this is the truth, and the rest is false, this is a perverse view, this is a view of observation, this is a wavering view, this is a defiled view, this is a binding view, it is suffering, it is an obstacle, it is vexation, it is torment, bound by views, foolish and unlearned ordinary people in the future will experience birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering.'


。婆蹉種出家!若作是見,世間無常、常無常、非常非無常,有邊、無邊、邊無邊、非有邊非無邊,是命是身、命異身異,如來有後死、無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死。此是倒見,乃至憂、悲、惱、苦生。」

婆蹉種出家白佛:「瞿曇!何所見?」

佛告婆蹉種出家:「如來所見已畢。婆蹉種出家!然如來見,謂見此苦聖諦、此苦集聖諦、此苦滅聖諦、此苦滅道跡聖諦;作如是知、如是見已,於一切見、一切受、一切生,一切我、我所見、我慢繫著使,斷滅、寂靜、清涼、真實,如是等解脫。比丘!生者不然,不生亦不然。」

婆蹉白佛:「瞿曇!何故說言生者不然?」

佛告婆蹉:「我今問汝,隨意答我。婆蹉!猶如有人于汝前然火,汝見火然不?即于汝前火滅,汝見火滅不?」

婆蹉白佛:「如是,瞿曇!」

佛告婆蹉:「若有人問汝:『曏者火然,今在何處?為東方去耶?西方、南方、北方去耶?』如是問者,汝云何說?」

婆蹉白佛:「瞿曇!若有來作如是問者,我當作如是答:『若有於我前然火,薪草因緣故然,若不增薪,火則永滅,不復更起,東方、南方、西方、北方去者,是則不然

現代漢語譯本:婆蹉種出家!如果持有這樣的觀點,認為世間是無常的、常的、既非無常也非恒常的,有邊際的、無邊際的、既有邊際又無邊際的、既非有邊際也非無邊際的,生命和身體是同一的、生命和身體是不同的,如來死後存在、死後不存在、既存在又不存在、既非存在也非不存在。這些都是顛倒的見解,會導致憂愁、悲傷、煩惱和痛苦的產生。 婆蹉種出家問佛陀:『喬達摩!您持有什麼樣的見解呢?』 佛陀告訴婆蹉種出家:『如來的見解已經完備。婆蹉種出家!如來的見解是,見到這苦聖諦、這苦集聖諦、這苦滅聖諦、這苦滅之道聖諦;像這樣知曉、像這樣見到之後,對於一切見解、一切感受、一切產生、一切我見、我所見、我慢的執著,都斷除、寂靜、清涼、真實,像這樣得到解脫。比丘!說有生是不對的,說沒有生也是不對的。』 婆蹉問佛陀:『喬達摩!為什麼說有生是不對的呢?』 佛陀告訴婆蹉:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。婆蹉!比如有人在你面前點燃火焰,你看到火焰燃燒了嗎?然後火焰在你面前熄滅,你看到火焰熄滅了嗎?』 婆蹉回答佛陀:『是的,喬達摩!』 佛陀告訴婆蹉:『如果有人問你:『剛才燃燒的火焰,現在在哪裡呢?是向東方去了嗎?還是西方、南方、北方去了呢?』如果這樣問,你會怎麼說呢?』 婆蹉回答佛陀:『喬達摩!如果有人這樣問我,我會這樣回答:『如果在我面前燃燒的火焰,是因為薪柴草料的因緣而燃燒,如果沒有增加薪柴,火焰就會永遠熄滅,不再重新燃起,說它向東方、南方、西方、北方去了,那是不對的。』

English version: 'Vacchagotta, if one holds the view that the world is permanent, impermanent, both permanent and impermanent, or neither permanent nor impermanent; that it is finite, infinite, both finite and infinite, or neither finite nor infinite; that the life principle and the body are the same, or that the life principle and the body are different; that the Tathagata exists after death, does not exist after death, both exists and does not exist after death, or neither exists nor does not exist after death—these are distorted views, and they lead to sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair.' Vacchagotta the wanderer asked the Buddha, 'Gotama, what is your view?' The Buddha told Vacchagotta the wanderer, 'The Tathagata's view is complete. Vacchagotta, the Tathagata sees this noble truth of suffering, this noble truth of the origin of suffering, this noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and this noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering. Having known and seen this, all views, all feelings, all arising, all notions of self, of what belongs to self, and the conceit of self are abandoned, pacified, cooled, and realized as true liberation. Bhikkhu, to say there is arising is not right, and to say there is no arising is also not right.' Vacchagotta asked the Buddha, 'Gotama, why do you say that to say there is arising is not right?' The Buddha told Vacchagotta, 'I will ask you now, answer as you see fit. Vacchagotta, if someone were to light a fire in front of you, would you see the fire burning? And then if the fire were to go out in front of you, would you see the fire going out?' Vacchagotta replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Gotama.' The Buddha told Vacchagotta, 'If someone were to ask you, 『Where has the fire that was burning just now gone? Has it gone to the east, west, south, or north?』 If they were to ask this, what would you say?' Vacchagotta replied to the Buddha, 'Gotama, if someone were to ask me this, I would answer like this: 『If a fire was burning in front of me, it was burning because of the conditions of fuel and grass. If no more fuel is added, the fire will be extinguished forever and will not arise again. To say that it has gone to the east, south, west, or north is not right.』'


。』」

佛告婆蹉:「我亦如是說,色已斷已知,受、想、行、識已斷已知,斷其根本,如截多羅樹頭,無復生分,于未來世永不復起。若至東方,南、西、北方,是則不然,甚深廣大,無量無數永滅。」

婆蹉白佛:「我當說譬。」

佛告婆蹉:「為知是時。」

婆蹉白佛:「瞿曇!譬如近城邑聚落,有好凈地,生堅固林,有一大堅固樹,其生已來經數千歲,日夜既久,枝葉零落,面板枯朽,唯干獨立。如是,瞿曇!如來法、律離諸枝條柯葉,唯空干堅固獨立。」

爾時,婆蹉出家聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起去。

(九六三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有婆蹉種出家來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!彼云何無知故,作如是見、如是說:『世間常,此是真實,余則虛妄,世間無常、世間常無常、世間非常非無常,世有邊、世無邊、世有邊無邊、世非有邊非無邊,命即是身、命異身異,如來有後死、無後死、有無後死、非有非無後死』?」

佛告婆蹉:「於色無知故,作如是見、如是說:『世間常,此是真實,余則虛妄,乃至非有非無後死

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴婆蹉:『我也是這樣說的,色已斷除,已知;受、想、行、識已斷除,已知。斷除了它們的根本,就像砍斷多羅樹的樹頭,不再有生長的機會,在未來的世界裡永遠不會再產生。如果(這些斷除的法)到達東方、南方、西方、北方,那就不是這樣了,它們是極其深遠廣大,無量無數,永遠滅盡。』 婆蹉對佛說:『我應當說個比喻。』 佛陀告訴婆蹉:『現在正是時候。』 婆蹉對佛說:『瞿曇!譬如靠近城邑聚落,有一片乾淨的土地,生長著堅固的樹林,其中有一棵巨大的堅固樹木,它生長以來已經有數千年了,日夜過去,枝葉零落,樹皮枯朽,只剩下樹幹獨立。就像這樣,瞿曇!如來的法和律,脫離了枝條和樹葉,只剩下空空的樹幹堅固地獨立。』 當時,婆蹉出家,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位上起身離去。 (九六三) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位婆蹉種的出家人來到佛陀所在的地方,與世尊互相問候慰勞之後,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇!那些人因為無知,所以才會有這樣的見解、這樣的說法:『世界是常住的,這是真實的,其餘的都是虛妄的;世界是無常的;世界是常與無常的;世界既不是常也不是無常的;世界是有邊的;世界是無邊的;世界是有邊且無邊的;世界既不是有邊也不是無邊的;生命就是身體;生命與身體是不同的;如來死後存在;如來死後不存在;如來死後既存在又不存在;如來死後既非存在也非不存在』?』 佛陀告訴婆蹉:『因為對色無知,所以才會有這樣的見解、這樣的說法:『世界是常住的,這是真實的,其餘的都是虛妄的』,乃至『如來死後既非存在也非不存在』。

English version The Buddha said to Vacchagotta, 'I also say the same. Form is abandoned and known; feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are abandoned and known. Their root is cut off, like cutting off the top of a palmyra tree, with no further possibility of growth, never to arise again in the future. If (these abandoned dharmas) were to reach the east, south, west, or north, it would not be so; they are extremely profound and vast, immeasurable and countless, and are forever extinguished.' Vacchagotta said to the Buddha, 'I should give a simile.' The Buddha said to Vacchagotta, 'Now is the time to know.' Vacchagotta said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! It is like near a city or village, there is a clean piece of land, where a strong forest grows. There is a large, strong tree that has been growing for thousands of years. As days and nights pass, its branches and leaves fall off, its bark withers, and only the trunk stands alone. Just like that, Gautama! The Tathagata's Dharma and Discipline are detached from branches and leaves, leaving only the empty trunk standing firm and alone.' At that time, Vacchagotta, having gone forth, heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, and rose from his seat and departed. (963) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. Then, a wanderer of the Vacchagotta clan came to the place where the Buddha was. After exchanging greetings and courtesies with the Blessed One, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! Why is it that those who are ignorant have such views and say such things: 『The world is eternal; this is the truth, and the rest is false; the world is impermanent; the world is both eternal and impermanent; the world is neither eternal nor impermanent; the world has an end; the world has no end; the world has both an end and no end; the world is neither with an end nor without an end; the life is the body; the life is different from the body; the Tathagata exists after death; the Tathagata does not exist after death; the Tathagata both exists and does not exist after death; the Tathagata neither exists nor does not exist after death』?' The Buddha said to Vacchagotta, 'Because of ignorance of form, they have such views and say such things: 『The world is eternal; this is the truth, and the rest is false,』 up to 『the Tathagata neither exists nor does not exist after death.』'


。』于受、想、行、識無知故,作如是見、如是說:『世間常,此是真實,余則虛妄,乃至非有非無後死。』」

婆蹉白佛:「瞿曇!知何法故,不如是見、如是說:『世間常,此是真實,余則虛妄,乃至非有非無後死。』」

佛告婆蹉:「知色故,不如是見、如是說:『世間常,此是真實,余則虛妄,乃至非有非無後死。』知受、想、行、識故,不作如是見、如是說,世間常,此是真實,余則虛妄,乃至非有非無後死,如是不知、知。如是不見、見,不識、識,不斷、斷,不觀、觀,不察、察,不覺、覺。」

佛說此經已,婆蹉種出家聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起而去。

(九六四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有婆蹉種出家來詣佛所,與世尊面相慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!欲有所問,寧有閑暇為解說不?」爾時,世尊默然而住。

婆蹉種出家第二、第三問,佛亦第二、第三默然而住。

時,婆蹉種出家白佛言:「我與瞿曇共相隨順,今有所問,何故默然?」

爾時,世尊作是念:「此婆蹉種出家長夜質直,不諂不偽,時有所問,皆以不知故,非故惱亂,我今當以阿毗曇律納受于彼

現代漢語譯本:'因為對受、想、行、識無知,所以產生這樣的見解、這樣的說法:『世界是常住的,這是真實的,其餘都是虛妄的,乃至死後既非存在也非不存在。』 婆蹉對佛說:『瞿曇!知道什麼法,才不會有這樣的見解、這樣的說法:『世界是常住的,這是真實的,其餘都是虛妄的,乃至死後既非存在也非不存在。』 佛告訴婆蹉:『因為知道色,所以不會有這樣的見解、這樣的說法:『世界是常住的,這是真實的,其餘都是虛妄的,乃至死後既非存在也非不存在。』因為知道受、想、行、識,所以不會產生這樣的見解、這樣的說法:世界是常住的,這是真實的,其餘都是虛妄的,乃至死後既非存在也非不存在。像這樣,不知、知,不見、見,不識、識,不斷、斷,不觀、觀,不察、察,不覺、覺。 佛說完這部經后,婆蹉種出家聽聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位上起身離去。 (九六四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位婆蹉種出家來到佛陀所在之處,與世尊互相問候慰勞后,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『瞿曇!我有些問題想請教,您是否有空為我解答呢?』當時,世尊默然不語。 婆蹉種出家第二次、第三次提問,佛陀也第二次、第三次默然不語。 這時,婆蹉種出家對佛說:『我與瞿曇互相隨順,現在有所提問,為何默然不語呢?』 當時,世尊心想:『這位婆蹉種出家長久以來都質樸正直,不諂媚不虛偽,他有時提問,都是因為不瞭解,並非故意擾亂,我現在應當用阿毗曇律來接納他。』

English version: 'Because of ignorance regarding feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, they hold such views and say: 『The world is eternal, this is the truth, and the rest is false, even after death neither existing nor not existing.』 Vacchagotta said to the Buddha: 『Gotama! Knowing what dharma, one does not hold such views and say: 『The world is eternal, this is the truth, and the rest is false, even after death neither existing nor not existing.』 The Buddha told Vacchagotta: 『Because of knowing form, one does not hold such views and say: 『The world is eternal, this is the truth, and the rest is false, even after death neither existing nor not existing.』 Because of knowing feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, one does not hold such views and say: The world is eternal, this is the truth, and the rest is false, even after death neither existing nor not existing. Thus, not knowing, knowing; not seeing, seeing; not recognizing, recognizing; not ceasing, ceasing; not observing, observing; not discerning, discerning; not awakening, awakening.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Vacchagotta, the wandering ascetic, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, and rose from his seat and departed. (964) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagaha. Then, a wandering ascetic named Vacchagotta came to where the Buddha was, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the Blessed One, sat down to one side and said to the Buddha: 『Gotama! I have some questions to ask, do you have the time to explain them?』 At that time, the Blessed One remained silent. Vacchagotta, the wandering ascetic, asked a second and third time, and the Buddha remained silent a second and third time. Then, Vacchagotta, the wandering ascetic, said to the Buddha: 『I am in accord with Gotama, and now I have questions, why are you silent?』 At that time, the Blessed One thought: 『This wandering ascetic Vacchagotta has long been honest and straightforward, not flattering or deceitful. When he asks questions, it is because he does not understand, not to deliberately cause trouble. Now I should accept him with the Abhidhamma rules.』


。」作是念已,告婆蹉種出家:「隨汝所問,當爲解說。」

婆蹉白佛:「云何?瞿曇!有善法耶?」

佛答言:「有。」

婆蹉白佛:「當爲我說善、不善法,令我得解。」

佛告婆蹉:「我今當爲汝略說善、不善法。諦聽,善思。婆蹉!貪慾者是不善法,調伏貪慾是則善法;瞋恚、愚癡是不善法,調伏恚、癡是則善法。殺生者是不善法,離殺生者是則善法;偷盜、邪淫、妄語、兩舌、惡口、綺語、貪、恚、邪見是不善法,不盜,乃至正見是則善法,是為,婆蹉!我今已說三種善法、三種不善法。如是,聖弟子於三種善法、三種不善法如實知,十種不善法、十種善法如實知者,則于貪慾無餘滅盡,瞋恚、愚癡無餘滅盡者,則於一切有漏滅盡,無漏心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

婆蹉白佛:「頗有一比丘於此法、律得盡有漏,無漏心解脫,乃至不受後有耶?」

佛告婆蹉:「不但若一,若二、若三,乃至五百,有眾多比丘於此法、律盡諸有漏,乃至不受後有

現代漢語譯本:他這樣想后,就告訴婆蹉種讓他出家:『隨你發問,我都會為你解答。』 婆蹉問佛:『瞿曇,什麼是善法呢?』 佛回答說:『有善法。』 婆蹉對佛說:『請為我解說善法和不善法,讓我能夠理解。』 佛告訴婆蹉:『我現在將為你簡略地說說善法和不善法。仔細聽,好好思考。婆蹉,貪慾是不善法,調伏貪慾就是善法;嗔恚、愚癡是不善法,調伏嗔恚、愚癡就是善法。殺生是不善法,不殺生就是善法;偷盜、邪淫、妄語、兩舌、惡口、綺語、貪、嗔、邪見是不善法,不偷盜,乃至正見就是善法。婆蹉,這就是我所說的三種善法和三種不善法。像這樣,聖弟子如果如實地知道這三種善法和三種不善法,以及十種不善法和十種善法,那麼他就能徹底滅盡貪慾,徹底滅盡嗔恚和愚癡,從而滅盡一切有漏,獲得無漏的心解脫和智慧解脫,在今生就能親自證悟:『我已不再輪迴,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的都已做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 婆蹉問佛:『有沒有比丘能通過這法和律,滅盡有漏,獲得無漏的心解脫,乃至不再有來生呢?』 佛告訴婆蹉:『不僅僅是一個,兩個,三個,甚至五百個,有很多比丘通過這法和律滅盡了有漏,乃至不再有來生。』

English version: Having thought thus, he told Vacchagotta to go forth: 『Ask whatever you wish, and I will explain it to you.』 Vacchagotta asked the Buddha: 『What, Gotama, are wholesome things?』 The Buddha replied: 『There are wholesome things.』 Vacchagotta said to the Buddha: 『Please explain to me what is wholesome and unwholesome, so that I may understand.』 The Buddha told Vacchagotta: 『I will now briefly explain to you what is wholesome and unwholesome. Listen carefully and think well. Vacchagotta, desire is unwholesome, subduing desire is wholesome; hatred and delusion are unwholesome, subduing hatred and delusion is wholesome. Killing is unwholesome, refraining from killing is wholesome; stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, divisive speech, harsh speech, idle chatter, greed, hatred, and wrong view are unwholesome, not stealing, and so on up to right view is wholesome. This, Vacchagotta, is what I have said about three wholesome things and three unwholesome things. Thus, a noble disciple who truly knows these three wholesome things and three unwholesome things, as well as the ten unwholesome things and ten wholesome things, will completely extinguish desire, completely extinguish hatred and delusion, and thereby extinguish all defilements, attaining undefiled liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, realizing for themselves in this very life: 『Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being.』 Vacchagotta asked the Buddha: 『Is there even one bhikkhu who, through this teaching and discipline, has extinguished defilements, attained undefiled liberation of mind, and will not be reborn?』 The Buddha told Vacchagotta: 『Not just one, two, or three, but even five hundred, there are many bhikkhus who, through this teaching and discipline, have extinguished defilements and will not be reborn.』

婆蹉白佛:「且置比丘,有一比丘尼於此法、律盡諸有漏,乃至不受後有不?」

佛告婆蹉:「不但一、二、三比丘尼,乃至五百,有眾多比丘尼於此法、律盡諸有漏,乃至不受後有。」

婆蹉白佛:「置比丘尼,有一優婆塞修諸梵行,於此法、律度狐疑不?」

佛告婆蹉:「不但一、二、三,乃至五百優婆塞,乃有眾多優婆塞修諸梵行,於此法、律斷五下分結,得成阿那含,不復還生此。」

婆蹉白佛:「復置優婆塞,頗有一優婆夷於此法、律修持梵行,於此法、律度狐疑不?」

佛告婆蹉:「不但一、二、三優婆夷,乃至五百,乃有眾多優婆夷於此法、律斷五下分結,于彼化生,得阿那含,不復還生此。」

婆蹉白佛:「置比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷修梵行者,頗有優婆塞受五欲,而於此法、律度狐疑不?」

佛告婆蹉:「不但一、二、三,乃至五百,乃有眾多優婆塞居家妻子,香華嚴飾,畜養奴婢,於此法、律斷三結,貪、恚、癡薄,得斯陀含,一往一來,究竟苦邊

現代漢語譯本 婆蹉問佛:『先不談比丘,有沒有比丘尼在此法和律中,斷盡所有煩惱,乃至不再受後有?』 佛告訴婆蹉:『不只一、二、三位比丘尼,乃至五百位,有眾多比丘尼在此法和律中,斷盡所有煩惱,乃至不再受後有。』 婆蹉問佛:『先不談比丘尼,有沒有優婆塞修行梵行,在此法和律中,度脫疑惑?』 佛告訴婆蹉:『不只一、二、三位,乃至五百位優婆塞,有眾多優婆塞修行梵行,在此法和律中,斷除五下分結,成就阿那含果,不再返回此世。』 婆蹉問佛:『再不談優婆塞,有沒有優婆夷在此法和律中修行梵行,在此法和律中,度脫疑惑?』 佛告訴婆蹉:『不只一、二、三位優婆夷,乃至五百位,有眾多優婆夷在此法和律中,斷除五下分結,于彼處化生,得阿那含果,不再返回此世。』 婆蹉問佛:『先不談比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷修行梵行者,有沒有優婆塞受用五欲,而在此法和律中,度脫疑惑?』 佛告訴婆蹉:『不只一、二、三位,乃至五百位,有眾多優婆塞居家有妻子,以香花裝飾,畜養奴婢,在此法和律中,斷除三結,貪、嗔、癡薄弱,得斯陀含果,一往一來,最終到達苦的盡頭。』

English version Vatsa asked the Buddha: 'Setting aside the monks, is there a nun who, in this Dharma and Discipline, has exhausted all defilements, even to the point of not being reborn?' The Buddha told Vatsa: 'Not just one, two, or three nuns, but even five hundred, there are many nuns who, in this Dharma and Discipline, have exhausted all defilements, even to the point of not being reborn.' Vatsa asked the Buddha: 'Setting aside the nuns, is there a lay disciple who practices the holy life, and in this Dharma and Discipline, has overcome doubt?' The Buddha told Vatsa: 'Not just one, two, or three, but even five hundred lay disciples, there are many lay disciples who practice the holy life, and in this Dharma and Discipline, have cut off the five lower fetters, attained the state of Anagami, and will not return to this world.' Vatsa asked the Buddha: 'Setting aside the lay disciples, is there a female lay disciple who, in this Dharma and Discipline, practices the holy life, and in this Dharma and Discipline, has overcome doubt?' The Buddha told Vatsa: 'Not just one, two, or three female lay disciples, but even five hundred, there are many female lay disciples who, in this Dharma and Discipline, have cut off the five lower fetters, are reborn there, attain the state of Anagami, and will not return to this world.' Vatsa asked the Buddha: 'Setting aside the monks, nuns, lay disciples, and female lay disciples who practice the holy life, is there a lay disciple who enjoys the five desires, and in this Dharma and Discipline, has overcome doubt?' The Buddha told Vatsa: 'Not just one, two, or three, but even five hundred, there are many lay disciples who live at home with wives, adorned with fragrant flowers, and keep servants, and in this Dharma and Discipline, have cut off the three fetters, with weakened greed, hatred, and delusion, attain the state of Sakadagami, returning once more, and ultimately reaching the end of suffering.'

婆蹉白佛:「復置優婆塞,頗有一優婆夷受習五欲,於此法、律得度狐疑不?」

佛告婆蹉:「不但一、二、三,乃至五百,乃有眾多優婆夷在於居家,畜養男女,服習五欲,華香嚴飾,於此法、律三結盡,得須陀洹,不墮惡趣法,決定正向三菩提,七有天人往生,究竟苦邊。」

婆蹉白佛言:「瞿曇!若沙門瞿曇成等正覺,若比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷修梵行者,及優婆塞、優婆夷服習五欲,不得如是功德者,則不滿足;以沙門瞿曇成等正覺,比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷修諸梵行,及優婆塞、優婆夷服習五欲,而成就爾所功德故,則為滿足。瞿曇!今當說譬。」

佛告婆蹉:「隨意所說。」

婆蹉白佛:「如天大雨,水流隨下,瞿曇法、律亦復如是。比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷,若男、若女,悉皆隨流,向于涅槃,浚輸涅槃。甚奇!佛、法、僧平等法、律。為余異道出家來詣瞿曇所,于正法、律求出家、受具足者,幾時便聽出家?」

佛告婆蹉:「若余異道出家欲來於正法、律求出家、受具足者,乃至四月于和尚所受衣而住,然此是為人粗作齊限耳

婆蹉問佛:『再有優婆塞,是否有一位優婆夷沉溺於五欲,卻能在此佛法、戒律中消除疑惑,獲得解脫呢?』 佛陀告訴婆蹉:『不僅僅是一兩位,甚至五百位,有很多優婆夷在家生活,養育子女,享受五欲,用鮮花香料裝飾自己,但她們在此佛法、戒律中,斷盡三結,證得須陀洹果,不會墮入惡道,必定走向正覺,經歷七次天人輪迴,最終達到苦的盡頭。』 婆蹉對佛說:『瞿曇!如果沙門瞿曇證得無上正等正覺,而比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷修行梵行的人,以及優婆塞、優婆夷享受五欲的人,都不能獲得這樣的功德,那就不算圓滿;正因為沙門瞿曇證得無上正等正覺,比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷修行梵行,以及優婆塞、優婆夷享受五欲,都能成就如此功德,才算是圓滿。瞿曇!我現在要打個比方。』 佛陀告訴婆蹉:『你隨意說吧。』 婆蹉對佛說:『就像天降大雨,水流順勢而下,瞿曇的佛法、戒律也是如此。比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷,無論是男是女,都順著這法流,趨向涅槃,匯入涅槃。真是太神奇了!佛、法、僧的教法、戒律是如此平等。如果其他外道出家的人來到瞿曇這裡,想在正法、戒律中出家、受具足戒,需要多久才能允許他們出家呢?』 佛陀告訴婆蹉:『如果其他外道出家的人想來正法、戒律中出家、受具足戒,需要先在和尚那裡接受四個月的衣缽,但這只是為他們粗略地設定一個期限而已。』

Vatsa asked the Buddha: 'Again, is there an upasika, among the lay followers, who indulges in the five desires, yet is able to resolve doubts and attain liberation in this Dharma and Vinaya?' The Buddha told Vatsa: 'Not just one or two, or three, but even five hundred, there are many upasikas living at home, raising children, enjoying the five desires, adorning themselves with flowers and fragrances, yet in this Dharma and Vinaya, they have eradicated the three fetters, attained the state of Srotapanna, will not fall into evil realms, are definitely headed towards enlightenment, will experience seven rebirths in heavens and among humans, and ultimately reach the end of suffering.' Vatsa said to the Buddha: 'Gautama! If the Shramana Gautama has attained Supreme Perfect Enlightenment, and if the monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen who practice the holy life, as well as the laymen and laywomen who indulge in the five desires, cannot attain such merits, then it is not complete; it is because the Shramana Gautama has attained Supreme Perfect Enlightenment, and the monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen who practice the holy life, as well as the laymen and laywomen who indulge in the five desires, can all achieve such merits, that it is considered complete. Gautama! Now I will give an analogy.' The Buddha told Vatsa: 'Speak as you wish.' Vatsa said to the Buddha: 'Just as when there is a great rain, the water flows downwards, so too is Gautama's Dharma and Vinaya. Monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen, whether male or female, all follow this flow, heading towards Nirvana, merging into Nirvana. It is truly amazing! The teachings and precepts of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha are so equal. If other ascetics from different paths come to Gautama, seeking to ordain and receive full ordination in the true Dharma and Vinaya, how long will it take before they are allowed to ordain?' The Buddha told Vatsa: 'If other ascetics from different paths wish to come to the true Dharma and Vinaya to ordain and receive full ordination, they must first stay with their preceptor for four months, receiving robes, but this is only a rough limit set for them.'


。」

婆蹉白佛:「若諸異道出家來於正法、律欲求出家、受具足,聽於和尚所受依,若滿四月聽出家者,我今堪能於四月在和尚所受依。若於正法、律而得出家、受具足,我當於瞿曇法中出家、受具足,修持梵行。」

佛告婆蹉:「我先不說粗為人作分齊耶?」

婆蹉白佛:「如是,瞿曇!」

爾時世尊告諸比丘:「汝等當度彼婆蹉出家于正法、律出家、受具足。」

婆蹉種出家即得於正法、律出家、受具足,成比丘分,乃至半月,學所應知、應識、應見、應得、應覺、應證,悉知、悉識、悉見、悉得、悉覺、悉證如來正法。

尊者婆蹉作是念:「我今已覺所應知、應識、應見、應得、應覺、應證,彼一切悉知、悉識、悉見、悉得、悉覺、悉證,今當往見世尊。」

是時,婆蹉詣世尊所,稽首禮足,於一面住,白佛言:「世尊!我于學所應知、應識、應見、應得、應覺、應證,悉知、悉識、悉見、悉得、悉覺、悉證世尊正法,唯愿世尊為我說法,我聞法已,當獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,思惟:『所以善男子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信出家學道,乃至自知不受後有。』」

佛告婆蹉:「有二法,修習多修習,所謂止、觀

婆蹉對佛說:『如果其他外道出家的人來到正法、律中,想要出家、受具足戒,聽從和尚的教導,如果滿了四個月就允許出家,我如今也能在和尚那裡接受四個月的依止。如果能在正法、律中出家、受具足戒,我應當在瞿曇的教法中出家、受具足戒,修持清凈的修行。』 佛告訴婆蹉:『我先前不是說過要粗略地為人制定界限嗎?』 婆蹉對佛說:『是的,瞿曇!』 這時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『你們應當度婆蹉出家,在正法、律中出家、受具足戒。』 婆蹉隨即出家,在正法、律中出家、受具足戒,成為比丘的一份子,乃至半個月,學習所應當知道、應當認識、應當見到、應當得到、應當覺悟、應當證實的,全部知道、全部認識、全部見到、全部得到、全部覺悟、全部證實如來的正法。 尊者婆蹉這樣想:『我如今已經覺悟了所應當知道、應當認識、應當見到、應當得到、應當覺悟、應當證實的,那些全部知道、全部認識、全部見到、全部得到、全部覺悟、全部證實,現在應當去見世尊。』 這時,婆蹉來到世尊那裡,頂禮佛足,站在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!我對於所學應當知道、應當認識、應當見到、應當得到、應當覺悟、應當證實的,全部知道、全部認識、全部見到、全部得到、全部覺悟、全部證實世尊的正法,只希望世尊為我說法,我聽聞佛法后,應當獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不放逸地住,思考:『為什麼善男子要剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信出家學道,乃至自己知道不再有後世的生命。』』 佛告訴婆蹉:『有兩種法,修習並且多多修習,就是止和觀。』

Vatsa said to the Buddha, 'If those of other paths who have left home come to the Righteous Dharma and Discipline, wishing to leave home and receive full ordination, and listen to the guidance of the preceptor, if they are allowed to leave home after four months, I am now able to receive guidance from the preceptor for four months. If I can leave home and receive full ordination in the Righteous Dharma and Discipline, I shall leave home and receive full ordination in the Dharma of Gotama, and practice the pure conduct.' The Buddha said to Vatsa, 'Did I not say earlier that I would roughly set limits for people?' Vatsa said to the Buddha, 'Yes, Gotama!' Then the World-Honored One said to the monks, 'You should allow Vatsa to leave home, to leave home and receive full ordination in the Righteous Dharma and Discipline.' Vatsa immediately left home, left home and received full ordination in the Righteous Dharma and Discipline, becoming a member of the monastic community. For half a month, he learned what should be known, what should be recognized, what should be seen, what should be attained, what should be awakened to, and what should be realized. He knew, recognized, saw, attained, awakened to, and realized all of the Tathagata's Righteous Dharma. Venerable Vatsa thought, 'I have now awakened to what should be known, what should be recognized, what should be seen, what should be attained, what should be awakened to, and what should be realized. I have known, recognized, seen, attained, awakened to, and realized all of those things. Now I should go see the World-Honored One.' At that time, Vatsa went to the World-Honored One, bowed his head to his feet, stood to one side, and said to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One! Regarding what I have learned, what should be known, what should be recognized, what should be seen, what should be attained, what should be awakened to, and what should be realized, I have known, recognized, seen, attained, awakened to, and realized all of the World-Honored One's Righteous Dharma. I only wish that the World-Honored One would teach me the Dharma. After hearing the Dharma, I shall dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, and dwell without negligence, thinking: 'Why does a good man shave his head and beard, wear the monastic robe, and leave home with right faith to learn the Way, even to the point of knowing for himself that he will not have future existence?'' The Buddha said to Vatsa, 'There are two things, which if practiced and practiced often, are called tranquility and insight.'


。此二法修習多修習,得知界、果,覺了于界,知種種界,覺種種界。如是,比丘!欲求離欲,惡不善法,乃至第四禪具足住,慈、悲、喜、舍,空入處、識入處、無所有入處、非想非非想入處,令我三結盡,得須陀洹;三結盡,貪、恚、癡薄,得斯陀含;五下分結盡,得阿那含;種種神通境界,天眼、天耳、他心智、宿命智、生死智、漏盡智皆悉得。是故,比丘!當修二法,修習多修習,修二法故,知種種界,乃至漏盡。」

爾時,尊者婆蹉聞佛所說,歡喜作禮而去。爾時,婆蹉獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至自知不受後有。

時,有眾多比丘莊嚴方便,欲詣世尊恭敬供養。

爾時,婆蹉問眾多比丘:「汝等莊嚴方便,欲詣世尊恭敬供養耶?」

諸比丘答言:「爾。」

爾時,婆蹉語諸比丘:「尊者!持我語,敬禮世尊,問訊起居輕利,少病少惱,安樂住不?言:『婆蹉比丘白世尊言:「我已供養世尊,具足奉事,令歡悅,非不歡悅;大師弟子所作皆悉已作,供養大師,令歡悅,非不歡悅。」』」

時,眾多比丘往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!尊者婆蹉稽首敬禮世尊足……」乃至「歡悅,非不歡悅

現代漢語譯本:『這兩種方法如果勤加修習,就能瞭解諸界、諸果,覺悟諸界,認識種種界,覺悟種種界。如此,比丘們!如果想要離欲,去除不善之法,乃至達到第四禪的圓滿境界,修習慈、悲、喜、舍四無量心,以及空無邊處、識無邊處、無所有處、非想非非想處等禪定,就能使我斷除三結,證得須陀洹果;斷除三結,使貪、嗔、癡薄弱,證得斯陀含果;斷除五下分結,證得阿那含果;獲得種種神通境界,如天眼、天耳、他心智、宿命智、生死智、漏盡智等。因此,比丘們!應當修習這兩種方法,勤加修習,通過修習這兩種方法,就能瞭解種種界,乃至證得漏盡。』 當時,尊者婆蹉聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地行禮后離去。之後,婆蹉獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思惟,不放逸地修行,最終證得自知不受後有的境界。 當時,有許多比丘準備好儀容,想要去拜見世尊,恭敬供養。 這時,婆蹉問那些比丘:『你們準備好儀容,是想要去拜見世尊,恭敬供養嗎?』 那些比丘回答說:『是的。』 這時,婆蹉對那些比丘說:『各位尊者!請代我向世尊問候,問候他起居是否輕便,少病少惱,安樂居住?並告訴世尊:「婆蹉比丘向世尊稟告:『我已經供養世尊,圓滿地奉事,使世尊歡喜,而不是不歡喜;作為大師的弟子,我所應做的都已經做了,供養大師,使大師歡喜,而不是不歡喜。』」』 當時,那些比丘前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,向佛陀稟告說:『世尊!尊者婆蹉頂禮世尊足……』乃至『歡喜,而不是不歡喜。』

English version: 『These two practices, if cultivated and frequently practiced, lead to the understanding of realms and their results, the realization of realms, the knowledge of various realms, and the awakening to various realms. Thus, bhikkhus! If one desires to be free from desire, from unwholesome states, and to attain the perfection of the fourth jhana, to cultivate loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, as well as the meditative states of the sphere of infinite space, the sphere of infinite consciousness, the sphere of nothingness, and the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, one can eradicate the three fetters and attain the state of a stream-enterer; with the eradication of the three fetters, and the weakening of greed, hatred, and delusion, one attains the state of a once-returner; with the eradication of the five lower fetters, one attains the state of a non-returner; and one gains various supernormal powers, such as the divine eye, the divine ear, the knowledge of others' minds, the knowledge of past lives, the knowledge of the cycle of birth and death, and the knowledge of the extinction of defilements. Therefore, bhikkhus! You should cultivate these two practices, cultivate them frequently. By cultivating these two practices, one can understand various realms, and ultimately attain the extinction of defilements.』 At that time, Venerable Vatsa, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced, paid his respects, and departed. Then, Vatsa, alone in a quiet place, diligently and attentively contemplated, dwelling without negligence, and eventually realized the state of knowing for himself that he would not be reborn. At that time, many bhikkhus, having prepared themselves, wished to go to the Blessed One to pay their respects and make offerings. Then, Vatsa asked those bhikkhus: 『Are you preparing yourselves to go to the Blessed One to pay your respects and make offerings?』 The bhikkhus replied: 『Yes.』 Then, Vatsa said to the bhikkhus: 『Venerable ones! Please convey my words to the Blessed One, paying respects and inquiring about his well-being, whether he is comfortable, with few illnesses and afflictions, and dwelling in peace? And say to the Blessed One: 「Bhikkhu Vatsa reports to the Blessed One: 『I have made offerings to the Blessed One, fully served him, and made him happy, not unhappy; as a disciple of the Master, I have done all that should be done, making offerings to the Master, making him happy, not unhappy.』」』 Then, those bhikkhus went to where the Buddha was, bowed their heads at his feet, sat down to one side, and reported to the Buddha: 『Blessed One! Venerable Vatsa bows his head in respect at the Blessed One』s feet…』 and so on, 『happy, not unhappy.』


。」

佛告諸比丘:「諸天先已語我,汝今復說。如來成就第一知見,亦如婆蹉比丘,有如是德力。」

爾時,世尊為彼婆蹉比丘說第一記。

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九六五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有外道出家名曰郁低迦,來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!云何?瞿曇!世有邊耶?」

佛告郁低迦:「此是無記。」

郁低迦白佛:「云何?瞿曇!世無邊耶?有邊無邊耶?非有邊非無邊耶?」

佛告郁低迦:「此是無記。」

郁低迦白佛:「云何?瞿曇!世有邊耶?答言『無記。』世無邊耶?世有邊無邊耶?世非有邊非無邊耶?答言『無記。』瞿曇!於何等法而可記說?」

佛告郁低迦:「知者,智者,我為諸弟子而記說道,令正盡苦,究竟苦邊。」

郁低迦白佛:「云何?瞿曇!為諸弟子說道,令正盡苦,究竟苦邊?為一切世間從此道出,為少分耶?」

爾時,世尊默然不答。

第二、第三問,佛亦第二、第三默然不答。

爾時,尊者阿難住于佛后,執扇扇佛

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『諸天先前已經告訴我了,你現在又重複說。如來成就了第一知見,也像婆蹉比丘一樣,有這樣的德行和力量。』 當時,世尊為那位婆蹉比丘作了第一記說。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (九六五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位外道出家人名叫郁低迦,來到佛陀所在的地方,與世尊互相問候慰勞之後,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇!怎麼樣?瞿曇!世界是有邊際的嗎?』 佛陀告訴郁低迦:『這個問題是無記的。』 郁低迦問佛陀:『怎麼樣?瞿曇!世界是無邊際的嗎?是有邊際又無邊際的嗎?是非有邊際也非無邊際的嗎?』 佛陀告訴郁低迦:『這個問題是無記的。』 郁低迦問佛陀:『怎麼樣?瞿曇!世界是有邊際的嗎?你回答『無記』。世界是無邊際的嗎?世界是有邊際又無邊際的嗎?世界是非有邊際也非無邊際的嗎?你都回答『無記』。瞿曇!對於什麼樣的法才可以記說呢?』 佛陀告訴郁低迦:『對於知者、智者,我為我的弟子們記說教導,讓他們能夠正確地斷盡痛苦,達到究竟的苦的盡頭。』 郁低迦問佛陀:『怎麼樣?瞿曇!你為弟子們教導,讓他們能夠正確地斷盡痛苦,達到究竟的苦的盡頭,是一切世間的人都從此道解脫,還是隻有少部分人呢?』 當時,世尊沉默不語,沒有回答。 第二次、第三次問,佛陀也第二次、第三次沉默不語,沒有回答。 當時,尊者阿難站在佛陀身後,拿著扇子為佛陀扇風。

English version The Buddha told the monks, 'The devas have already told me this, and now you repeat it. The Tathagata has achieved the foremost knowledge and vision, and like the monk Vatsa, possesses such virtue and power.' At that time, the World-Honored One gave the first pronouncement to that monk Vatsa. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (965) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, there was an ascetic of another sect named Udayika, who came to where the Buddha was. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the World-Honored One, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! How is it? Gautama! Is the world finite?' The Buddha told Udayika, 'This is an unanswerable question.' Udayika asked the Buddha, 'How is it? Gautama! Is the world infinite? Is it both finite and infinite? Is it neither finite nor infinite?' The Buddha told Udayika, 'This is an unanswerable question.' Udayika asked the Buddha, 'How is it? Gautama! Is the world finite? You answer 『unanswerable.』 Is the world infinite? Is the world both finite and infinite? Is the world neither finite nor infinite? You answer 『unanswerable』 to all of these. Gautama! For what kind of dharma can a pronouncement be made?' The Buddha told Udayika, 'For those who know, for the wise, I make pronouncements and teachings for my disciples, so that they may correctly end suffering and reach the ultimate end of suffering.' Udayika asked the Buddha, 'How is it? Gautama! You teach your disciples so that they may correctly end suffering and reach the ultimate end of suffering. Do all beings in the world attain liberation from this path, or only a few?' At that time, the World-Honored One remained silent and did not answer. The second and third times he asked, the Buddha also remained silent the second and third times and did not answer. At that time, the Venerable Ananda was standing behind the Buddha, fanning the Buddha with a fan.


。尊者阿難語郁低迦外道出家:「汝初已問此義,今復以異說而問,是故,世尊不為記說。郁低迦!今當爲汝說譬,夫智者因譬得解。

「譬如國王,有邊境城,四周堅固,巷陌平正,唯有一門。立守門者聰明黠慧,善能籌量,外有人來,應入者聽入,不應入者不聽。周匝繞城,求第二門,都不可得,都無貓貍出入之處,況第二門?彼守門者都不覺悟入者、出者,然彼士夫知一切人唯從此門若出若入,更無餘處。如是,世尊雖不用心覺悟眾生,一切世間從此道出,及以少分,然知眾生正盡苦,究竟苦邊者,一切皆悉從此道出。」

時,郁低迦外道出家聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起而去。

(九六六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。時,有尊者富鄰尼住王舍城耆阇崛山中。

時,有眾多外道出家詣尊者富鄰尼,共相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,問尊者富鄰尼:「我聞沙門瞿曇作斷滅破壞有教授耶?今問尊者富鄰尼,竟為爾不?」

富鄰尼語諸外道出家:「我不如是知世尊教語,眾生斷滅壞有,令無所有者,無有是處!我作如是解:『世尊所說有諸眾生,計言有我、我慢、邪慢,世尊為說,令其斷滅

現代漢語譯本: 尊者阿難對郁低迦外道出家說:『你之前已經問過這個道理,現在又用不同的說法來問,所以,世尊沒有為你解釋。郁低迦!現在我為你打個比喻,有智慧的人可以通過比喻來理解。』 『比如一個國王,有一座邊境城市,四周堅固,街道平坦筆直,只有一道城門。設立一個守門人,聰明機智,善於衡量,外面有人來,應該進入的就讓他進入,不應該進入的就不讓他進入。他繞著城墻走了一圈,想找第二道門,卻根本找不到,連貓和貍貓出入的地方都沒有,更何況是第二道門呢?那個守門人並沒有刻意去覺察誰進誰出,但他知道所有的人都只能從這道門出入,沒有其他地方。同樣,世尊雖然不用心去覺察眾生,但一切世間眾生都是從這條道路出去的,以及少部分,知道眾生真正脫離痛苦,達到痛苦的盡頭,一切都是從這條道路出去的。』 當時,郁低迦外道出家聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離開了。 (九六六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,有尊者富鄰尼住在王舍城的耆阇崛山中。 當時,有許多外道出家來到尊者富鄰尼那裡,互相問候慰勞之後,退坐在一旁,問尊者富鄰尼:『我聽說沙門瞿曇教導斷滅和破壞有嗎?現在問尊者富鄰尼,究竟是不是這樣?』 富鄰尼對那些外道出家說:『我不是這樣理解世尊的教導,說眾生斷滅和破壞有,以至於什麼都沒有,沒有這樣的道理!我是這樣理解的:『世尊所說的是,有些眾生,執著于有我、我慢、邪慢,世尊是爲了讓他們斷滅這些。』

English version: Venerable Ananda said to the ascetic Udaka: 'You have already asked about this meaning before, and now you ask again with a different approach, therefore, the World-Honored One did not explain it to you. Udaka! Now I will tell you a parable, for the wise understand through parables.' 'For example, a king has a border city, which is fortified on all sides, with straight and level streets, and only one gate. A gatekeeper is stationed there, who is intelligent and wise, good at assessing, and if someone comes from outside, those who should enter are allowed to enter, and those who should not enter are not allowed. He walks around the city, seeking a second gate, but cannot find one at all, not even a place for cats or civets to enter or exit, let alone a second gate. That gatekeeper does not consciously perceive who enters or exits, but he knows that all people can only enter or exit through this gate, and there is no other place. Likewise, although the World-Honored One does not consciously perceive sentient beings, all beings in the world come out of this path, and a few, knowing that beings truly escape suffering and reach the end of suffering, all come out of this path.' At that time, the ascetic Udaka, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, and rose from his seat and departed. (966) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, Venerable Purna was dwelling on Mount Gijjhakuta in Rajagriha. At that time, many ascetics from other sects came to Venerable Purna, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries, they sat down to one side and asked Venerable Purna: 'I have heard that the ascetic Gautama teaches annihilation and destruction of existence? Now we ask Venerable Purna, is this indeed so?' Purna said to those ascetics: 'I do not understand the World-Honored One's teachings in that way, that beings are annihilated and their existence destroyed, so that nothing remains, there is no such principle! I understand it this way: 'The World-Honored One speaks of those beings who cling to the notion of self, self-conceit, and wrong conceit, and the World-Honored One teaches to eliminate these.'


。』」

時,諸外道出家聞富鄰尼所說,心不喜悅,呵責而去。

爾時,尊者富鄰尼,諸外道去已,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。以向諸外道出家所說具白世尊:「世尊!我向答諸外道說,得無謗毀世尊耶?為是法說,如佛所說,如法說,隨順法說,得不為諸論議者所見嫌責耶?」

佛告富鄰尼:「如汝所說,不謗如來,不失次第。如我記說,如法法說,隨順法說,不為諸論者之所嫌責。所以者何?富鄰尼!先諸眾生我慢、邪慢,邪慢所迫、邪慢集、邪慢不無間等,亂如狗腸,如鐵鉤鎖,亦如亂草,往反驅馳,此世他世、他世此世,驅馳往反,不能遠離。富鄰尼!一切眾生於諸邪慢無餘永滅者,彼一切眾生長夜安隱快樂。」

佛說此經已,富鄰尼比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九六七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,尊者阿難陀於後夜時,向㯓補河邊,脫衣置岸邊,入水洗手足。還上岸,著一衣,摩拭身體。時,俱迦那外道出家亦至水邊。尊者阿難聞其行聲,聞聲已,即便謦咳作聲。

俱迦那外道出家聞有人聲,而問言:「為何等人?」

尊者阿難答言:「沙門

現代漢語譯本:當時,那些外道出家人聽了富鄰尼所說的話,心中不高興,責罵著離開了。 這時,尊者富鄰尼等那些外道離開后,就去到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,然後退坐在一旁。他把之前對外道出家人所說的話都告訴了世尊:『世尊!我剛才回答那些外道所說的話,有沒有誹謗世尊呢?我所說的是否符合佛法,如佛所說,如法而說,順應佛法而說,不會被那些論辯的人所責難呢?』 佛陀告訴富鄰尼:『你所說的,沒有誹謗如來,也沒有失誤。正如我所記述的,如法而說,順應佛法而說,不會被那些論辯的人所責難。為什麼呢?富鄰尼!以前的眾生,有我慢、邪慢,被邪慢所逼迫,邪慢聚集,邪慢無間斷等等,像狗的腸子一樣混亂,像鐵鉤鎖一樣,也像亂草一樣,來回奔波,此世他世、他世此世,奔波往返,不能遠離。富鄰尼!一切眾生如果能將所有邪慢完全滅除,那麼他們就能長久安穩快樂。』 佛陀說完這部經后,富鄰尼比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (九六七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,尊者阿難陀在後半夜時,來到㯓補河邊,脫下衣服放在岸邊,下水洗手洗腳。然後回到岸上,穿上一件衣服,擦拭身體。這時,俱迦那外道出家人也來到河邊。尊者阿難聽到他的腳步聲,聽到聲音后,就咳嗽了一聲。 俱迦那外道出家人聽到有人聲,就問道:『是什麼人?』 尊者阿難回答說:『是沙門。』

English version: At that time, those non-Buddhist ascetics, upon hearing what Pūrṇa had said, were displeased and left, scolding him. Then, after those non-Buddhists had departed, the venerable Pūrṇa went to the Buddha, bowed his head at his feet, and sat down to one side. He recounted to the World-Honored One everything he had said to the non-Buddhist ascetics: 'World-Honored One! In my responses to those non-Buddhist ascetics, have I slandered the World-Honored One? Is what I said in accordance with the Dharma, as the Buddha has taught, in accordance with the Dharma, and in line with the Dharma, so that I will not be criticized by those who engage in debate?' The Buddha said to Pūrṇa: 'What you have said does not slander the Tathagata, nor does it deviate from the proper order. As I have described, it is in accordance with the Dharma, in line with the Dharma, and will not be criticized by those who engage in debate. Why is that? Pūrṇa! In the past, beings had conceit, wrong conceit, were compelled by wrong conceit, accumulated wrong conceit, and had incessant wrong conceit, which was as chaotic as a dog's intestines, like an iron hook, and like tangled grass, running back and forth, from this life to the next, and from the next life to this, unable to escape. Pūrṇa! When all beings completely eradicate all wrong conceit, they will have long-lasting peace and happiness.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the bhikkhu Pūrṇa, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (967) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the venerable Ananda, in the latter part of the night, went to the bank of the 㯓補 River, took off his clothes and placed them on the bank, and entered the water to wash his hands and feet. Then he returned to the bank, put on one garment, and rubbed his body. At that time, the non-Buddhist ascetic Kukana also came to the riverbank. The venerable Ananda heard his footsteps, and upon hearing the sound, he coughed. The non-Buddhist ascetic Kukana, hearing a human voice, asked: 'Who is it?' The venerable Ananda replied: 'It is a śramaṇa.'


。」

俱迦那外道言:「何等沙門?」

尊者阿難答言:「釋種子。」

俱迦那外道言:「欲有所問,寧有閑暇見答以不?」

尊者阿難答言:「隨意所問,知者當答。」

俱迦那言:「云何?阿難!如來死後有耶?」

阿難答言:「世尊所說,此是無記。」

復問:「如來死後無耶?死後有無耶?非有非無耶?」

阿難言:「世尊所說,此是無記。」

俱迦那外道言:「云何?阿難!如來死後有?答言無記,死後無?死後有無?死後非有非無?答言無記。云何?阿難!為不知不見耶?」

阿難答言:「非不知、非不見,悉知、悉見。」

復問阿難:「云何知?云何見?」

阿難答言:「見可見處,見所起處,見纏斷處,此則為知,此則為見。我如是知、如是見,云何說言不知、不見?」

俱迦那外道復問:「尊者何名?」

阿難陀答言:「我名阿難陀。」

俱迦那外道言:「奇哉!大師弟子,而共論議!我若知是尊者阿難陀者,不敢發問。」說是語已,即舍而去。

(九六八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 俱迦那外道問:『你們是什麼沙門?』 尊者阿難回答說:『是釋迦族的沙門。』 俱迦那外道說:『我有些問題想問,你們有空回答嗎?』 尊者阿難回答說:『請隨意發問,知道的我們就會回答。』 俱迦那問:『阿難,如來死後存在嗎?』 阿難回答說:『世尊說過,這個問題是無記的。』 又問:『如來死後不存在嗎?死後既存在又不存在嗎?死後既非存在也非不存在嗎?』 阿難說:『世尊說過,這些問題都是無記的。』 俱迦那外道說:『怎麼回事?阿難!如來死後存在,你回答無記;死後不存在,死後既存在又不存在,死後既非存在也非不存在,你都回答無記。怎麼回事?阿難!難道你是不知不見嗎?』 阿難回答說:『不是不知,也不是不見,而是全部都知道,全部都看見。』 又問阿難:『怎麼知道?怎麼看見?』 阿難回答說:『看見可以看見的地方,看見所產生的地方,看見煩惱斷滅的地方,這就是知道,這就是看見。我是這樣知道,這樣看見的,怎麼能說我不知不見呢?』 俱迦那外道又問:『尊者您叫什麼名字?』 阿難陀回答說:『我叫阿難陀。』 俱迦那外道說:『真是奇特!竟然和大師的弟子一起辯論!如果我知道是尊者阿難陀,我都不敢發問。』說完這些話,就離開了。 (九六八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version The ascetic Kukana asked: 'What kind of ascetics are you?' Venerable Ananda replied: 'We are ascetics of the Shakya clan.' Kukana said: 'I have some questions to ask. Do you have time to answer them?' Venerable Ananda replied: 'Ask whatever you wish. We will answer what we know.' Kukana asked: 'Ananda, does the Tathagata exist after death?' Ananda replied: 'The World-Honored One has said that this is an unanswerable question.' He further asked: 'Does the Tathagata not exist after death? Does he both exist and not exist after death? Does he neither exist nor not exist after death?' Ananda said: 'The World-Honored One has said that these are all unanswerable questions.' Kukana said: 'What is this? Ananda! When asked if the Tathagata exists after death, you answer unanswerable; if he does not exist after death, if he both exists and does not exist after death, if he neither exists nor does not exist after death, you answer unanswerable. What is this? Ananda! Do you not know or see?' Ananda replied: 'It is not that I do not know or see, but that I know and see everything.' He further asked Ananda: 'How do you know? How do you see?' Ananda replied: 'I see the place that can be seen, I see the place where it arises, I see the place where the fetters are broken. This is knowing, this is seeing. I know and see in this way, how can you say that I do not know or see?' The ascetic Kukana further asked: 'What is your name, Venerable?' Ananda replied: 'My name is Ananda.' Kukana said: 'How strange! To be debating with a disciple of the great master! If I had known it was Venerable Ananda, I would not have dared to ask.' Having said this, he left. (968) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


時,給孤獨長者日日出見世尊,禮事供養,給孤獨長者作是念:「我今出太早,世尊及諸比丘禪思未起,我寧可過諸外道住處。」即入外道精舍,與諸外道共相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面。

時,彼外道問言:「長者!汝見沙門瞿曇,云何見?何所見?」

長者答言:「我亦不知云何見世尊,世尊何所見。」

諸外道言:「汝言見眾僧,云何見眾僧?眾僧何所見?」

長者答言:「我亦不知云何見僧,僧何所見。」

外道復問:「長者!汝今云何自見?自何所見?」

長者答言:「汝等各各自說所見,然後我說所見,亦不難。」

時,有一外道作如是言:「長者!我見一切世間常,是則真實,餘者虛妄。」

復有說言:「長者!我見一切世間無常,此是真實,余則虛妄。」

復有說言:「長者!世間常無常,此是真實,余則虛妄。」

復有說言:「世間非常非無常,此是真實,余則虛妄。」

復有說言:「世有邊,此是真實,余則虛妄。」

復有說言:「世無邊,此是真實,余則虛妄。」

復有說言:「世有邊無邊。」

復有說言:「世非有邊非無邊。」

復有說言:「命即是身

現代漢語譯本: 當時,給孤獨長者每天都去拜見世尊,行禮供養。給孤獨長者心想:『我現在去得太早了,世尊和各位比丘還在禪定中,沒有起身,我不如先去外道居住的地方。』於是就去了外道的精舍,與各位外道互相問候慰勞之後,退坐在一旁。 當時,那些外道問道:『長者!你見到沙門瞿曇,是怎麼看的?看到了什麼?』 長者回答說:『我也不知道怎麼看世尊,世尊看到了什麼。』 外道們說:『你說見到僧眾,是怎麼看的?僧眾看到了什麼?』 長者回答說:『我也不知道怎麼看僧眾,僧眾看到了什麼。』 外道又問:『長者!那你現在是怎麼看待自己的?看到了自己什麼?』 長者回答說:『你們各自先說說你們看到的,然後我再說我看到的,也不難。』 當時,有一個外道這樣說:『長者!我看到一切世間是常住不變的,這是真實的,其餘都是虛妄的。』 又有一個外道說:『長者!我看到一切世間是無常變化的,這是真實的,其餘都是虛妄的。』 又有一個外道說:『長者!世間既是常住的又是無常的,這是真實的,其餘都是虛妄的。』 又有一個外道說:『世間既不是常住的也不是無常的,這是真實的,其餘都是虛妄的。』 又有一個外道說:『世界是有邊際的,這是真實的,其餘都是虛妄的。』 又有一個外道說:『世界是無邊際的,這是真實的,其餘都是虛妄的。』 又有一個外道說:『世界既有邊際又無邊際。』 又有一個外道說:『世界既不是有邊際也不是無邊際。』 又有一個外道說:『生命就是身體』

English version: At that time, the elder Anathapindika would go to see the World Honored One every day, to pay his respects and make offerings. Anathapindika thought to himself, 'I am going too early now, the World Honored One and the other monks are still in meditation and have not yet risen. I might as well go to the dwelling places of the non-Buddhists.' So he went to the non-Buddhist monastery, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the non-Buddhists, he sat down to one side. At that time, those non-Buddhists asked, 'Elder! When you see the Shramana Gautama, how do you see him? What do you see?' The elder replied, 'I also do not know how I see the World Honored One, or what the World Honored One sees.' The non-Buddhists said, 'You say you see the Sangha, how do you see the Sangha? What does the Sangha see?' The elder replied, 'I also do not know how I see the Sangha, or what the Sangha sees.' The non-Buddhists further asked, 'Elder! How do you see yourself now? What do you see in yourself?' The elder replied, 'Each of you should first speak about what you see, and then I will speak about what I see, it is not difficult.' At that time, one non-Buddhist said, 'Elder! I see that all the world is permanent, this is the truth, and the rest is false.' Another said, 'Elder! I see that all the world is impermanent, this is the truth, and the rest is false.'

復有說言:「如來死後非有非無,此是真實,余則虛妄。」

諸外道語長者言:「我等各各已說所見,汝復應說汝所見。」

長者答言:「我之所見真實、有為、思量、緣起,若復真實、有為、思量、緣起者,彼則無常,無常者是苦。如是知已,於一切見都無所得。如汝所見:『世間常,此是真實,余則虛妄。』者,此見真實、有為、思量、緣起;若真實、有為、思量、緣起者,是則無常,無常者是苦。是故汝等習近於苦,唯得於苦,堅住于苦,深入于苦。如是汝言世間無常,此是真實,余則虛妄。有如是咎。」

有一外道語給孤獨長者言:「如汝所說,若有見彼,則真實、有為、思量、緣起者,是無常法,若無常者是苦

English version Again, some say: 『Life and body are different.』 Again, some say: 『The Tathagata exists after death.』 Again, some say: 『The Tathagata does not exist after death.』 Again, some say: 『The Tathagata both exists and does not exist after death.』 Again, some say: 『The Tathagata neither exists nor does not exist after death; this is the truth, and the rest is false.』 The non-Buddhists said to the elder: 『We have each stated our views; you should also state yours.』 The elder replied: 『My view is that what is real, conditioned, thought-out, and arising from causes is impermanent, and what is impermanent is suffering. Having understood this, I am not attached to any views. Like your view: 『The world is permanent; this is the truth, and the rest is false.』 This view is real, conditioned, thought-out, and arising from causes; if it is real, conditioned, thought-out, and arising from causes, then it is impermanent, and what is impermanent is suffering. Therefore, you are accustomed to approaching suffering, can only obtain suffering, firmly abide in suffering, and deeply immerse yourselves in suffering. Just as you say the world is impermanent, this is the truth, and the rest is false, there is such a fault.』 The world is permanent, impermanent, neither permanent nor impermanent; the world has boundaries, the world has no boundaries, the world has both boundaries and no boundaries, the world neither has boundaries nor no boundaries; life is the body, life and body are different; the Tathagata exists after death, the Tathagata does not exist after death, the Tathagata both exists and does not exist after death, the Tathagata neither exists nor does not exist after death; these are the truth, and the rest is false, all as stated above. A non-Buddhist said to the elder Anathapindika: 『As you said, if one considers those things to be real, conditioned, thought-out, and arising from causes, then they are impermanent, and if they are impermanent, then they are suffering.』


。是故,長者所見亦習近苦,得苦,住苦,深入于苦?」

長者答言:「我先不言所見者,是真實、有為、思量、緣起法,悉皆無常,無常者是苦,知苦已,我于所見無所得耶?」

彼外道言:「如是,長者!」

爾時,給孤獨長者于外道精舍伏彼異論,建立正論,于異學眾中作師子吼已,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,以向與諸外道共論事向佛廣說。

佛告給孤獨長者:「善哉!善哉!宜應時時摧伏愚癡外道,建立正論。」

佛說是語已,給孤獨長者歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(九六九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有長爪外道出家來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!我一切見不忍。」

佛告火種:「汝言一切見不忍者,此見亦不忍耶?」

長爪外道言:「向言一切見不忍者,此見亦不忍。」

佛告火種:「如是知、如是見,此見則已斷、已舍、已離,余見更不相續、不起、不生。火種!多人與汝所見同,多人作如是見、如是說,汝亦與彼相似,火種!若諸沙門、婆羅門舍斯等見,余見不起,是等沙門、婆羅門世間亦少少耳。

「火種!依三種見

因此,長者所見也習慣於接近苦,得到苦,處於苦中,深入于苦嗎?' 長者回答說:'我先不說所見的是真實、有為、思量、緣起之法,它們都是無常的,無常就是苦。知道苦之後,我對所見就沒有執著了嗎?' 那個外道說:'是的,長者!' 當時,給孤獨長者在外道的精舍里駁倒了他們的異端邪說,建立了正論,在異學眾中如獅子吼一般宣講真理。之後,他前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,將之前與外道辯論的事情詳細地告訴了佛陀。 佛陀告訴給孤獨長者:'好啊!好啊!應該時常摧毀愚癡外道的邪說,建立正論。' 佛陀說完這些話后,給孤獨長者歡喜讚歎,行禮后離開了。 (九六九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位名叫長爪的外道出家者來到佛陀所在之處,與世尊互相問候慰勞之後,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:'瞿曇!我不能忍受一切見解。' 佛陀告訴火種:'你說不能忍受一切見解,那麼這個『不能忍受一切見解』的見解,你也不能忍受嗎?' 長爪外道說:'我剛才說不能忍受一切見解,也包括這個見解。' 佛陀告訴火種:'像這樣知道,像這樣看待,這個見解就已經斷除、捨棄、脫離了,其他的見解就不會再相續、生起、產生。火種!很多人和你持有相同的見解,很多人像這樣看待、像這樣說,你也和他們相似。火種!如果那些沙門、婆羅門捨棄了這些見解,不再產生其他見解,這樣的沙門、婆羅門在世間就很少了。 『火種!依據三種見解

'Therefore, does the elder also see that he is accustomed to approaching suffering, obtaining suffering, dwelling in suffering, and deeply immersed in suffering?' The elder replied, 'I will not first speak of what is seen, that is, the real, the conditioned, the thought, the law of dependent origination, all of which are impermanent. That which is impermanent is suffering. Having known suffering, do I have no attachment to what is seen?' That heretic said, 'Yes, elder!' At that time, the elder Anathapindika, in the heretics' monastery, refuted their heterodox views, established the correct doctrine, and roared like a lion among the heterodox assembly. Then, he went to where the Buddha was, bowed at his feet, and sat to one side, recounting in detail to the Buddha the matters he had discussed with the heretics. The Buddha said to the elder Anathapindika, 'Excellent! Excellent! You should always refute the foolish heretics and establish the correct doctrine.' After the Buddha spoke these words, the elder Anathapindika rejoiced and praised, then bowed and departed. (969) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, a wandering ascetic named Long-Nail came to where the Buddha was. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the World-Honored One, he sat to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! I cannot tolerate all views.' The Buddha said to Fire-Seed, 'You say you cannot tolerate all views. Can you not tolerate this view of not tolerating all views?' The Long-Nail ascetic said, 'When I said I cannot tolerate all views, that includes this view as well.' The Buddha said to Fire-Seed, 'Knowing and seeing in this way, this view is already cut off, abandoned, and detached. Other views will not continue, arise, or be born. Fire-Seed! Many people hold the same view as you, many people see and speak in this way, and you are similar to them. Fire-Seed! If those ascetics and Brahmins abandon these views and do not give rise to other views, such ascetics and Brahmins are very few in the world.' 'Fire-Seed! Based on three kinds of views'


。何等為三?有一如是見、如是說:『我一切忍。』複次,有一如是見、如是說:『我一切不忍。』複次,有一如是見、如是說:『我於一忍、一不忍』。火種!若言一切忍者,此見與貪俱生,非不貪;與恚俱生,非不恚,與癡俱生,非不癡;系,不離系,煩惱,非清凈,樂取,染著生。若如是見:『我一切不忍。』此見非貪俱、非恚俱、非癡俱,清凈非煩惱,離系非系,不樂不取,不著生。火種!若如是見:『我一忍、一不忍。』彼若忍者,則有貪,乃至染著生,若如是見不忍者,則離貪,乃至不染著生。

「彼多聞聖弟子所學言:『我若作如是見、如是說:「我一切忍。」則為二者所責、所詰。何等二種?謂一切不忍,及一忍、一不忍,則為此等所責。責故詰,詰故害,彼見責、見詰、見害故,則舍所見,余見則不復生。如是斷見、舍見、離見,余見不復相續,不起不生。』

「彼多聞聖弟子作如是學:『我若如是見、如是說:「我一切不忍。」者,則有二種二詰。何等為二?謂我一切忍,及一忍、一不忍。如是二責二詰,乃至不相續,不起不生。』

「彼多聞聖弟子作如是學:『我若作如是見、如是說:「一忍、一不忍。」則有二責二詰

現代漢語譯本:什麼是三種觀點?第一種人這樣認為、這樣說:『我能忍受一切。』第二種人這樣認為、這樣說:『我什麼都不能忍受。』第三種人這樣認為、這樣說:『我能忍受一部分,不能忍受另一部分。』火種啊!如果有人說能忍受一切,這種觀點會與貪慾同時產生,而不是沒有貪慾;會與嗔恨同時產生,而不是沒有嗔恨;會與愚癡同時產生,而不是沒有愚癡;是束縛,而不是解脫;是煩惱,而不是清凈;是樂於執取,產生染著。如果有人這樣認為:『我什麼都不能忍受。』這種觀點不會與貪慾、嗔恨或愚癡同時產生,是清凈而不是煩惱,是解脫而不是束縛,是不樂於執取,不會產生染著。火種啊!如果有人這樣認為:『我能忍受一部分,不能忍受另一部分。』如果他能忍受,就會有貪慾,乃至產生染著;如果他認為不能忍受,就會遠離貪慾,乃至不會產生染著。 多聞的聖弟子所學習的是:『如果我這樣認為、這樣說:「我能忍受一切」,就會受到兩種觀點的責難和詰問。哪兩種觀點呢?就是「我什麼都不能忍受」以及「我能忍受一部分,不能忍受另一部分」,我會被這兩種觀點責難。因為責難所以詰問,因為詰問所以受到傷害。當他看到自己的觀點被責難、被詰問、受到傷害時,就會捨棄這種觀點,其他的觀點也不會再生起。這樣就斷除了這種觀點,捨棄了這種觀點,離開了這種觀點,其他的觀點也不會再相續,不會生起。』 多聞的聖弟子這樣學習:『如果我這樣認為、這樣說:「我什麼都不能忍受」,就會受到兩種觀點的責難和詰問。哪兩種觀點呢?就是「我能忍受一切」以及「我能忍受一部分,不能忍受另一部分」。這兩種觀點會責難和詰問我,乃至這種觀點不會相續,不會生起。』 多聞的聖弟子這樣學習:『如果我這樣認為、這樣說:「我能忍受一部分,不能忍受另一部分」,就會受到兩種觀點的責難和詰問。

English version: What are the three? There is one who sees and says thus: 'I endure all things.' Furthermore, there is one who sees and says thus: 'I endure nothing.' Furthermore, there is one who sees and says thus: 'I endure one thing and do not endure another.' Firebrand! If one says 'I endure all things,' this view arises with greed, not without greed; arises with hatred, not without hatred; arises with delusion, not without delusion; it is a bond, not a release; it is defilement, not purity; it is a clinging, giving rise to attachment. If one sees thus: 'I endure nothing,' this view does not arise with greed, hatred, or delusion; it is purity, not defilement; it is release, not a bond; it is non-clinging, not giving rise to attachment. Firebrand! If one sees thus: 'I endure one thing and do not endure another,' if he endures, then there is greed, and so on, giving rise to attachment; if he sees that he does not endure, then he is free from greed, and so on, not giving rise to attachment. The learned noble disciple learns thus: 'If I hold such a view and say, 「I endure all things,」 then I am reproached and questioned by two. What are the two? Namely, 「I endure nothing,」 and 「I endure one thing and do not endure another.」 I am reproached by these. Because of reproach, there is questioning; because of questioning, there is harm. Seeing that his view is reproached, questioned, and harmed, he abandons that view, and other views do not arise again. Thus, he cuts off that view, abandons that view, and is free from that view; other views do not continue, do not arise, do not come into being.' The learned noble disciple learns thus: 'If I hold such a view and say, 「I endure nothing,」 then there are two reproaches and two questions. What are the two? Namely, 「I endure all things,」 and 「I endure one thing and do not endure another.」 These two reproach and question, and so on, not continuing, not arising, not coming into being.' The learned noble disciple learns thus: 'If I hold such a view and say, 「I endure one thing and do not endure another,」 then there are two reproaches and two questions.'


。何等二?謂如是見、如是說:「我一切忍,及一切不忍。」如是二責,乃至不相續,不起不生。』

「複次,火種!如是身色粗四大,聖弟子當觀無常、觀生滅、觀離欲、觀滅盡、觀舍。若聖弟子觀無常、觀滅、觀離欲、觀滅盡、觀舍住者,于彼身、身欲、身念、身愛、身染、身著,永滅不住。

「火種!有三種受,謂苦受、樂受、不苦不樂受。此三種受,何因?何集?何生?何轉?謂此三受觸因、觸集、觸生、觸轉。彼彼觸集,則受集;彼彼觸滅,則受滅,寂靜、清涼、永盡。彼於此三受,覺苦、覺樂、覺不苦不樂。彼彼受若集、若滅、若味、若患、若出如實知;如實知已,即于彼受觀察無常、觀生滅、觀離欲、觀滅盡、觀舍。彼于身份齊受覺如實知,于命分齊受覺如實知,若彼身壞命終后,即于爾時一切受永滅、無餘永滅。彼作是念:『樂受覺時,其身亦壞;苦受覺時,其身亦壞;不苦不樂受覺時,其身亦壞,悉為苦邊。于彼樂覺,離系不繫;于彼苦覺,離系不繫;于不苦不樂覺,離系不繫。於何離系?離於貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡,離於生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,我說斯等,名為離苦。』」

當於爾時,尊者舍利弗受具足始經半月。時,尊者舍利弗住于佛后,執扇扇佛

現代漢語譯本:哪兩種呢?就是像這樣見解、這樣說法:『我一切都忍受,以及一切都不忍受。』像這樣兩種責難,乃至不相續,不生起也不滅亡。 現代漢語譯本:『再者,火種!像這樣由粗四大組成的身體,聖弟子應當觀察它的無常、生滅、離欲、滅盡、捨棄。如果聖弟子觀察無常、滅、離欲、滅盡、捨棄而住,那麼對於身體、對身體的慾望、對身體的念頭、對身體的愛戀、對身體的執著、對身體的迷戀,就會永遠滅除,不再存在。 現代漢語譯本:『火種!有三種感受,即苦受、樂受、不苦不樂受。這三種感受,是什麼原因?什麼集起?什麼產生?什麼轉變?這三種感受是由於觸而產生、集起、生起、轉變。各種觸的集起,導致感受的集起;各種觸的滅除,導致感受的滅除,寂靜、清涼、永遠滅盡。他對於這三種感受,覺知苦、覺知樂、覺知不苦不樂。他如實地知道各種感受的集起、滅除、滋味、過患、出離;如實知道后,就觀察這些感受的無常、生滅、離欲、滅盡、捨棄。他如實地知道身體範圍內的感受,如實地知道生命範圍內的感受,如果身體壞滅、生命終結后,那時一切感受都將永遠滅除,無餘地滅盡。他這樣想:『當覺知樂受時,身體也會壞滅;當覺知苦受時,身體也會壞滅;當覺知不苦不樂受時,身體也會壞滅,一切都歸於苦的終結。』對於樂的覺受,是離系不繫;對於苦的覺受,是離系不繫;對於不苦不樂的覺受,是離系不繫。離於什麼繫縛呢?離於貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡,離於生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,我說這些,名為離苦。』 現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者舍利弗受具足戒才半個月。那時,尊者舍利弗站在佛陀身後,拿著扇子為佛陀扇風。

English version: Which two? It is like this view, like this saying: 『I endure all, and I do not endure all.』 Such are the two reproaches, even to non-continuity, neither arising nor ceasing. English version: 『Furthermore, Fire-kind! This body of coarse four great elements, a noble disciple should contemplate as impermanent, as arising and ceasing, as dispassion, as cessation, as relinquishment. If a noble disciple dwells contemplating impermanence, cessation, dispassion, cessation, relinquishment, then regarding the body, desire for the body, thoughts of the body, love for the body, attachment to the body, infatuation with the body, they are forever extinguished and do not remain. English version: 『Fire-kind! There are three kinds of feeling, namely, painful feeling, pleasant feeling, and neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. What is the cause, what is the origin, what is the arising, what is the turning of these three feelings? These three feelings are caused by contact, originate from contact, arise from contact, and turn due to contact. With the arising of various contacts, there is the arising of feeling; with the cessation of various contacts, there is the cessation of feeling, peaceful, cool, and forever extinguished. He knows these three feelings as painful, pleasant, and neither-painful-nor-pleasant. He truly knows the arising, cessation, gratification, danger, and escape of each feeling; having truly known, he then contemplates these feelings as impermanent, as arising and ceasing, as dispassion, as cessation, as relinquishment. He truly knows the feeling within the limits of the body, he truly knows the feeling within the limits of life, and if the body breaks up and life ends, then at that time all feelings are forever extinguished, extinguished without remainder. He thinks thus: 『When a pleasant feeling is experienced, the body also breaks up; when a painful feeling is experienced, the body also breaks up; when a neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling is experienced, the body also breaks up, all are towards the end of suffering.』 Regarding the pleasant feeling, it is unbound and not bound; regarding the painful feeling, it is unbound and not bound; regarding the neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, it is unbound and not bound. Unbound from what? Unbound from greed, hatred, and delusion, unbound from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress, I say these are called the cessation of suffering.』 English version: At that time, Venerable Sariputta had been ordained for only half a month. Then, Venerable Sariputta stood behind the Buddha, fanning the Buddha with a fan.


。時,尊者舍利弗作是念:「世尊嘆說于彼彼法,斷欲、離欲,欲滅盡、欲舍。」爾時,尊者舍利弗即于彼彼法觀察無常,觀生滅、觀離欲、觀滅盡、觀舍,不起諸漏,心得解脫。

爾時,長爪外道出家遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。長爪外道出家見法、得法、覺法、入法、度諸疑惑,不由他度,入正法、律,得無所畏,即從坐起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛:「愿得於正法、律出家、受具足,于佛法中修諸梵行。」

佛告長爪外道出家:「汝得於正法、律出家、受具足,成比丘分。」

即得善來比丘出家,彼思惟:「所以善男子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道……。」乃至心善解脫,得阿羅漢。

佛說是經已,尊者舍利弗、尊者長爪聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

雜阿含經卷第三十四 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 雜阿含經

雜阿含經卷第三十五

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(九七〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,王舍城有外道出家名舍羅步,住須摩竭陀池側,于自眾中作如是唱言:「沙門釋子法我悉知,我先已知彼法、律而悉棄捨。」

時,有眾多比丘晨朝著衣持缽,入王舍城乞食

現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者舍利弗心中思忖:『世尊讚歎種種法門,都是爲了斷除慾望、遠離慾望,使慾望滅盡、捨棄。』那時,尊者舍利弗就對這些法門觀察其無常,觀察其生滅,觀察其離欲,觀察其滅盡,觀察其捨棄,從而不起任何煩惱,心得以解脫。 當時,長爪外道出家之人,遠離塵垢,獲得了清凈的法眼。長爪外道出家之人見到了法,領悟了法,覺悟了法,進入了法,度脫了一切疑惑,不再依賴他人,進入了正法和戒律,獲得了無所畏懼的境界。他立即從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛陀說:『我希望能在正法和戒律中出家,受具足戒,在佛法中修習清凈的梵行。』 佛陀告訴長爪外道出家之人:『你可以于正法和戒律中出家,受具足戒,成為比丘的一份子。』 他隨即以『善來比丘』的方式出家。他思惟:『善男子之所以剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信之心捨棄家庭,出家修道……』乃至最終心得以完全解脫,證得阿羅漢果。 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者舍利弗和尊者長爪聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 《雜阿含經》卷第三十四 《大正藏》第02冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第三十五 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (九七〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,王舍城有一位名叫舍羅步的外道出家人,住在須摩竭陀池邊,在自己的信眾中宣稱:『沙門釋迦牟尼的教法我都知道,我早就知道他們的教法和戒律,並且已經全部捨棄了。』 當時,有許多比丘在早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入王舍城乞食。

English version: At that time, the Venerable Sariputra thought to himself: 'The World Honored One praises various teachings, all for the purpose of cutting off desire, abandoning desire, extinguishing desire, and relinquishing desire.' Then, the Venerable Sariputra observed these teachings as impermanent, observing their arising and ceasing, observing their detachment from desire, observing their extinction, and observing their relinquishment, thereby not giving rise to any defilements, and his mind was liberated. At that time, the ascetic Long Nail, having left home, was free from dust and defilement, and attained the pure Dharma eye. The ascetic Long Nail, having left home, saw the Dharma, understood the Dharma, awakened to the Dharma, entered the Dharma, crossed over all doubts, no longer relying on others, entered the true Dharma and discipline, and attained fearlessness. He immediately rose from his seat, adjusted his robes, bowed to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'I wish to leave home in the true Dharma and discipline, receive full ordination, and practice pure conduct in the Buddha's teachings.' The Buddha told the ascetic Long Nail: 'You may leave home in the true Dharma and discipline, receive full ordination, and become a part of the Bhikkhu community.' He then left home as a 'Welcome Bhikkhu'. He reflected: 'The reason why a good man shaves his head and beard, puts on the monastic robe, with true faith leaves his home, and goes forth to practice the Way…' until his mind was completely liberated, and he attained Arhatship. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Venerable Sariputra and the Venerable Long Nail, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully accepted and practiced it. Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 34 Taisho Tripitaka, Vol. 02, No. 0099, Samyukta Agama Sutra Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 35 Translated by Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India (970) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, in Rajagriha, there was an ascetic named Sharaputra, who lived by the side of the Sumagadha Pond, and proclaimed among his followers: 'I know all the teachings of the Shramana Shakyamuni, I knew their teachings and discipline long ago, and have already abandoned them all.' At that time, many Bhikkhus, having put on their robes in the morning, took their bowls and entered Rajagriha to beg for alms.


。聞有外道名舍羅步,住王舍城須摩竭陀池側,于自眾中作如是唱:「沙門釋子所有法、律我悉已知,先已知彼法、律,然後棄捨。」聞是語已,乞食畢,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我等晨朝著衣持缽,入王舍城乞食,聞有外道出家名舍羅步,住王舍城須摩竭陀池側,于自眾中作是唱言:『沙門釋子法我已悉知,知彼法、律已,然後棄捨。』善哉!世尊!可自往彼須摩竭陀池側,憐愍彼故!」

爾時,世尊默然而許,于日晡時從禪覺,往到須摩竭陀池側外道舍羅步所。

時,舍羅步外道出家遙見世尊來,即敷床坐,請佛令坐。

佛即就坐,告舍羅步言:「汝實作是語:『沙門釋子所有法、律,我悉已知。知彼法、律已,然後棄捨。』耶?」時,舍羅步默而不答。

佛告舍羅步:「汝今應說,何故默然?汝所知滿足者,我則隨喜;不滿足者,我當令汝滿足。」時,舍羅步猶故默然。如是第二、第三說,彼再三默然住。

時,舍羅步有一梵行弟子白舍羅步言:「師應往詣沙門瞿曇說所知見,今沙門瞿曇自來詣此,何故不說?沙門瞿曇又告師言:『若滿足者,我則隨喜;不滿足者,當令滿足

現代漢語譯本:我聽說有個外道名叫舍羅步,住在王舍城須摩竭陀池邊,在自己的信眾中這樣宣稱:『沙門釋迦的教法和戒律我都知道,我先了解他們的教法和戒律,然後才捨棄它們。』我聽到這話后,乞食完畢,回到精舍,收拾好衣缽,洗完腳,就去拜見佛陀,頂禮佛足后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我們早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,到王舍城乞食,聽到有個外道出家人名叫舍羅步,住在王舍城須摩竭陀池邊,在自己的信眾中這樣宣稱:『沙門釋迦的教法我都知道,瞭解他們的教法和戒律后,然後才捨棄它們。』世尊,您最好親自去須摩竭陀池邊,憐憫他!』 當時,世尊默許了。到了傍晚時分,世尊從禪定中醒來,前往須摩竭陀池邊舍羅步外道所在之處。 當時,舍羅步外道出家人遠遠地看見世尊來了,就鋪好床座,請佛陀坐下。 佛陀坐下後,告訴舍羅步說:『你真的說過這樣的話嗎?『沙門釋迦的教法和戒律,我都知道。瞭解他們的教法和戒律后,然後才捨棄它們。』嗎?』當時,舍羅步沉默不語。 佛陀告訴舍羅步說:『你現在應該說,為什麼沉默不語?你所知道的如果完備,我就隨喜讚歎;如果不完備,我將使你完備。』當時,舍羅步仍然沉默不語。這樣說了第二遍、第三遍,他還是再三沉默不語。 當時,舍羅步有一個梵行弟子對舍羅步說:『老師應該去向沙門瞿曇說出你所知道的見解,現在沙門瞿曇親自來到這裡,為什麼不說呢?沙門瞿曇又對老師說:『如果完備,我就隨喜讚歎;如果不完備,將使你完備。』

English version: I heard that there was an ascetic named Sharaputra, residing by the Sumagadha Pond in Rajagriha, who proclaimed among his followers: 'I know all the teachings and precepts of the Shramana Shakya. I first understand their teachings and precepts, and then I abandon them.' Upon hearing this, after finishing my alms round, I returned to the monastery, put away my robes and bowl, washed my feet, and went to see the Buddha. After bowing at his feet, I sat to one side and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable One, this morning, after putting on our robes and taking our bowls, we went to Rajagriha for alms and heard that there was an ascetic named Sharaputra, residing by the Sumagadha Pond in Rajagriha, who proclaimed among his followers: 'I know all the teachings of the Shramana Shakya. After understanding their teachings and precepts, I then abandon them.' Venerable One, it would be good if you could go to the Sumagadha Pond yourself, out of compassion for him!' At that time, the Buddha silently agreed. In the late afternoon, the Buddha awoke from meditation and went to the place by the Sumagadha Pond where the ascetic Sharaputra was. At that time, the ascetic Sharaputra saw the Buddha coming from afar, so he spread out a seat and invited the Buddha to sit. The Buddha sat down and said to Sharaputra: 'Did you really say these words: 'I know all the teachings and precepts of the Shramana Shakya. After understanding their teachings and precepts, I then abandon them'?' At that time, Sharaputra remained silent. The Buddha said to Sharaputra: 'You should speak now, why are you silent? If what you know is complete, I will rejoice; if it is incomplete, I will make it complete for you.' At that time, Sharaputra remained silent. After saying this a second and third time, he still remained silent. At that time, one of Sharaputra's disciples, who was practicing the holy life, said to Sharaputra: 'Teacher, you should go to the Shramana Gautama and speak about what you know and see. Now the Shramana Gautama has come here himself, why don't you speak? The Shramana Gautama also said to the teacher: 'If it is complete, I will rejoice; if it is incomplete, I will make it complete for you.'


。』何故默然而不記說?」彼舍羅步梵行弟子勸時,亦復默然。

爾時,世尊告舍羅步:「若復有言:『沙門瞿曇非如來、應、等正覺。』我若善諫善問,善諫善問時,彼則遼落說諸外事;或忿恚慢覆,對閡不忍,無由能現;或默然抱愧低頭,密自思省,如今舍羅步。若復作如是言非沙門瞿曇無正法、律者,我若善諫善問,彼亦如汝今日默然而住。若復有言非沙門瞿曇聲聞善曏者,我若善諫善問,彼亦乃至如汝今日默然而住。」爾時,世尊于須摩竭陀池側師子吼已,從坐起而去。

爾時,舍羅步梵行弟子語舍羅步言:「譬如有牛,截其兩角,入空牛欄中,跪地大吼;師亦如是,于無沙門瞿曇弟子眾中作師子吼。譬如女人慾作丈夫聲,發聲即作女聲;師亦如是,于非沙門瞿曇弟子眾中作師子吼。譬如野干欲作狐聲,發聲還作野乾聲;師亦如是,于非沙門瞿曇弟子眾中欲作師子吼。」

時,舍羅步梵行弟子于舍羅步面前呵責毀呰已,從坐起去。

(九七一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,王舍城須摩竭陀池側有外道出家名上坐,住彼池側,于自眾中作如是語:「我說一偈,若能報者,我當於彼修行梵行

『為何沉默不語,不作解釋?』當彼舍羅步的梵行弟子勸說時,他也依然沉默不語。 這時,世尊告訴舍羅步:『如果有人說:『沙門瞿曇不是如來、應供、等正覺。』我如果善意勸誡,善意詢問,當善意勸誡、善意詢問時,他就會開始說些無關緊要的外事;或者被憤怒、傲慢所矇蔽,無法忍受,無法表達;或者像現在的舍羅步一樣,沉默不語,感到羞愧,低著頭,暗自思量。如果有人說沙門瞿曇沒有正法、律,我如果善意勸誡,善意詢問,他也會像你今天一樣沉默不語。如果有人說沙門瞿曇的聲聞弟子沒有正確方向,我如果善意勸誡,善意詢問,他也會像你今天一樣沉默不語。』這時,世尊在須摩竭陀池邊發出獅子吼后,就從座位起身離開了。 這時,舍羅步的梵行弟子對舍羅步說:『譬如一頭牛,被截斷了雙角,進入空牛欄中,跪在地上大吼;你的老師也像這樣,在沒有沙門瞿曇弟子的地方發出獅子吼。譬如一個女人想要發出男人的聲音,發出的卻是女人的聲音;你的老師也像這樣,在不是沙門瞿曇弟子的地方發出獅子吼。譬如一隻野干想要發出狐貍的聲音,發出的還是野乾的聲音;你的老師也像這樣,在不是沙門瞿曇弟子的地方想要發出獅子吼。』 當時,舍羅步的梵行弟子在舍羅步面前呵斥、譭謗之後,就從座位起身離開了。 (九七一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,王舍城須摩竭陀池邊有一位外道出家人,名叫上坐,住在池邊,在自己的弟子中這樣說:『我說一個偈子,如果有人能回答,我就在他的門下修行梵行。』

'Why are you silent and not explaining?' When his fellow Brahmacari disciples urged him, Shariputra remained silent. Then, the World-Honored One said to Shariputra: 'If someone were to say: 'The Shramana Gautama is not a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Fully Enlightened One,' if I were to kindly advise and kindly question, when kindly advising and kindly questioning, he would then digress into irrelevant matters; or be covered by anger and arrogance, unable to bear it, unable to express himself; or like Shariputra now, remain silent, feeling ashamed, lowering his head, and pondering to himself. If someone were to say that the Shramana Gautama does not have the true Dharma and Vinaya, if I were to kindly advise and kindly question, he would also remain silent like you today. If someone were to say that the Shramana Gautama's disciples are not on the right path, if I were to kindly advise and kindly question, he would also remain silent like you today.' Then, the World-Honored One, after making a lion's roar by the side of the Sumagadha Pond, rose from his seat and departed. Then, Shariputra's fellow Brahmacari disciples said to Shariputra: 'It is like a bull, with its horns cut off, entering an empty cattle pen, kneeling on the ground and roaring loudly; your teacher is also like this, making a lion's roar among those who are not disciples of the Shramana Gautama. It is like a woman trying to make a man's voice, but the sound that comes out is a woman's voice; your teacher is also like this, making a lion's roar among those who are not disciples of the Shramana Gautama. It is like a jackal trying to make a fox's sound, but the sound that comes out is still a jackal's sound; your teacher is also like this, trying to make a lion's roar among those who are not disciples of the Shramana Gautama.' At that time, Shariputra's fellow Brahmacari disciples, after scolding and denouncing Shariputra in front of him, rose from their seats and departed. (971) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, by the side of the Sumagadha Pond in Rajagriha, there was an ascetic of another sect named Uposatha, who lived by the pond and said to his own followers: 'I will recite a verse, and if anyone can answer it, I will practice the Brahmacarya under him.'


。」

時,有眾多比丘晨朝著衣持缽,入王舍城乞食,聞有外道出家名曰上座,住須摩竭陀池側,于自眾中作如是說:「我說一偈,有能報者,我當於彼所修行梵行。」乞食畢,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我今晨朝與眾多比丘入城乞食,聞有外道出家名曰上坐,住須摩竭陀池側,于自眾中作如是說:『我說一偈,有能報者,我當於彼修行梵行。』唯愿世尊應自往彼,哀愍故!」

爾時,世尊默然而許,即日晡時從禪覺,往至須摩竭陀池側。

時,上坐外道出家遙見世尊,即敷床座,請佛令坐。世尊坐已,告上坐外道出家言:「汝實作是語:『我說一偈,若能報者,我當於彼修行梵行』耶?汝今便可說偈,我能報答。」

時,彼外道即累繩床以為高座,自升其上。即說偈言:

「比丘以法活,  不恐怖眾生,  意寂行舍離,  持戒順息止。」

爾時,世尊知彼上坐外道心

現代漢語譯本 當時,有許多比丘在早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入王舍城乞食。他們聽說有一個外道出家人,名叫上座,住在須摩竭陀池邊。他在自己的僧眾中這樣說:『我說一個偈子,有誰能回答,我就在那個人那裡修行梵行。』比丘們乞食完畢,回到精舍,放下衣缽,洗完腳后,來到佛陀那裡,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我今天早上和許多比丘一起進城乞食,聽到有一個外道出家人,名叫上座,住在須摩竭陀池邊。他在自己的僧眾中這樣說:『我說一個偈子,有誰能回答,我就在那個人那裡修行梵行。』唯愿世尊您親自去那裡,慈悲憐憫我們!』 當時,世尊默許了。當天下午,世尊從禪定中醒來,前往須摩竭陀池邊。 當時,上座外道出家人遠遠地看見世尊,就鋪設床座,請佛陀坐下。世尊坐下後,告訴上座外道出家人說:『你確實說過這樣的話:『我說一個偈子,如果有人能回答,我就在那個人那裡修行梵行』嗎?你現在就可以說偈子,我能回答。』 當時,那個外道就用繩床堆成高座,自己登上高座。然後說了偈子: 『比丘以法為生,不恐嚇眾生,內心寂靜,行為舍離,持戒順從止息。』 當時,世尊知道那個上座外道的心思。

English version At that time, many monks, having dressed in the morning and taken their bowls, entered the city of Rajagriha to beg for alms. They heard that there was an ascetic of another sect named 'Elder', who lived by the side of the Sumagadha Pond. He was saying to his own followers, 'If I speak a verse, and someone can answer it, I will practice the holy life under that person.' Having finished begging for alms, the monks returned to the monastery, put down their robes and bowls, washed their feet, and went to the Buddha. They bowed at the Buddha's feet, then sat to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, this morning, I and many monks went into the city to beg for alms, and we heard that there was an ascetic of another sect named 'Elder', who lived by the side of the Sumagadha Pond. He was saying to his own followers, 'If I speak a verse, and someone can answer it, I will practice the holy life under that person.' We beseech the Venerable One to go there out of compassion!' At that time, the Buddha silently agreed. That afternoon, the Buddha awoke from meditation and went to the side of the Sumagadha Pond. At that time, the ascetic of another sect, 'Elder', saw the Buddha from afar, and he spread out a seat, inviting the Buddha to sit. After the Buddha sat down, he said to the ascetic of another sect, 'Elder', 'Did you indeed say these words: 'If I speak a verse, and someone can answer it, I will practice the holy life under that person'? You may now speak the verse, and I will answer it.' At that time, that ascetic used rope beds to make a high seat, and he ascended it. Then he spoke the verse: 'A monk lives by the Dharma, does not frighten living beings, his mind is tranquil, his actions are detached, he upholds the precepts and follows cessation.' At that time, the Buddha knew the thoughts of that ascetic, 'Elder'.


。即說偈言:

「汝于所說偈,  能自隨轉者,  我當於汝所,  作善士夫觀,  觀汝今所說,  言行不相應,  寂止自調伏,  莫恐怖眾生,  行意寂遠離,  受持凈戒者,  順調伏寂止,  身口心離惡,  善攝於住處,  不令放逸者,  是則名隨順,  調伏及寂止。」

爾時,上坐外道出家作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」即從床而下,合掌白佛言:「今我可得於正法、律出家、受具足,成比丘法不?」

佛告上坐外道出家:「今汝可得於正法、律出家、受具足,成比丘分。」

如是上坐外道出家得出家,作比丘已,思惟:「所以善男子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道……。」乃至心善解脫,得阿羅漢。

(九七二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有眾多婆羅門出家住須摩竭陀池側,集聚一處,作如是論:「如是婆羅門真諦,如是婆羅門真諦。」

爾時,世尊知彼眾多婆羅門出家心念,往到須摩竭陀池側。

時,眾多婆羅門出家遙見佛來,即為佛敷床座,請佛就坐

現代漢語譯本:於是,他說了偈語: 『如果你能按照自己所說的偈語去做,我就會把你視為一個善人。 觀察你現在所說的話,你的言行並不一致。 要安靜下來,自我調伏,不要恐嚇眾生。 行為意念要寂靜遠離,受持清凈戒律的人, 要順從調伏和寂靜,身口意遠離惡行。 要好好管理自己的住所,不放縱自己的人, 這才叫做隨順、調伏和寂靜。』 當時,那位上座外道出家人心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思了。』 他立刻從床上下來,合掌對佛說:『我現在可以在正法和律中出家,受具足戒,成為比丘嗎?』 佛告訴上座外道出家人:『你現在可以在正法和律中出家,受具足戒,成為比丘。』 就這樣,上座外道出家人出家了,成為比丘后,他思惟:『為什麼善男子要剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信離開家庭,出家學道……』,乃至內心得到解脫,證得阿羅漢果。 (九七二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有許多婆羅門出家人住在須摩竭陀池邊,聚集在一起,議論說:『婆羅門才是真理,婆羅門才是真理。』 這時,世尊知道那些婆羅門出家人的心念,就前往須摩竭陀池邊。 當時,那些婆羅門出家人遠遠看見佛來了,就為佛鋪設床座,請佛就坐。

English version: Then, he spoke in verse: 'If you can follow the verses you speak yourself, I will regard you as a virtuous person. Observing what you say now, your words and actions do not match. Be quiet, subdue yourself, and do not frighten sentient beings. Those whose actions and thoughts are peaceful and detached, who uphold pure precepts, Should follow subduing and tranquility, with body, speech, and mind free from evil. Those who manage their dwelling well and do not indulge themselves, Are called those who follow, subdue, and are tranquil.' At that time, the elder ascetic thought: 'The Shramana Gautama already knows my thoughts.' He immediately got down from his bed, put his palms together, and said to the Buddha: 'Can I now be ordained in the Dharma and Vinaya, receive full ordination, and become a bhikkhu?' The Buddha told the elder ascetic: 'You can now be ordained in the Dharma and Vinaya, receive full ordination, and become a bhikkhu.' Thus, the elder ascetic was ordained, and after becoming a bhikkhu, he reflected: 'Why do virtuous men shave their heads and beards, wear robes, leave their homes with faith, and go forth to study the Way…', until his mind was liberated and he attained Arhatship. (972) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, many Brahmin ascetics were staying by the side of the Sumagadha Pond, gathered together, and discussing: 'The Brahmins are the truth, the Brahmins are the truth.' Then, the World Honored One, knowing the thoughts of those Brahmin ascetics, went to the side of the Sumagadha Pond. At that time, those Brahmin ascetics saw the Buddha coming from afar, and they prepared a seat for the Buddha and invited him to sit down.


佛即就坐,告諸婆羅門出家:「汝等於此須摩竭陀池側,眾共集聚,何所論說?」

婆羅門出家白佛言:「瞿曇!我等眾多婆羅門出家集於此坐,作如是論:『如是婆羅門真諦。如是婆羅門真諦。』」

佛告婆羅門出家:「有三種婆羅門真實,我自覺悟成等正覺而復為人演說。汝婆羅門出家作如是說:『不害一切眾生,是婆羅門真諦,非為虛妄。』彼于彼言我勝、言相似、言我卑,若於彼真諦不繫著,於一切世間作慈心色像,是名第一婆羅門真諦,我自覺悟成等正覺,為人演說。

「複次,婆羅門作如是說:『所有集法皆是滅法,此是真諦,非為虛妄。』乃至於彼真諦不計著,於一切世間觀察生滅,是名第二婆羅門真諦。

「複次,婆羅門作如是說:『無我處所及事都無所有,無我處所及事都無所有,此則真諦,非為虛妄。』如前說,乃至於彼無所繫著,一切世間無我像類,是名第三婆羅門真諦,我自覺悟成等正覺而為人說。」爾時,眾多婆羅門出家默然住。

時,世尊作是念:「今映彼愚癡,殺彼惡者,今此眾中無一能自思量欲造因緣,于沙門瞿曇法中修行梵行。」如是知已,從坐起而去

現代漢語譯本 佛陀坐下後,告訴那些婆羅門出家人:『你們聚集在這須摩竭陀池邊,都在討論些什麼呢?』 婆羅門出家人對佛陀說:『瞿曇!我們這些婆羅門出家人聚集在這裡,正在討論:『婆羅門的真諦是這樣的。婆羅門的真諦是這樣的。』 佛陀告訴婆羅門出家人:『有三種婆羅門的真實道理,是我自己覺悟成正等正覺后,又為他人宣說的。你們婆羅門出家人說:『不傷害一切眾生,這是婆羅門的真諦,不是虛妄的。』對於這種說法,如果他們不執著于『我勝』、『我相似』、『我卑』的觀念,並且對一切世間都懷有慈悲之心,這就是第一種婆羅門的真諦,是我自己覺悟成正等正覺,併爲他人宣說的。 『其次,婆羅門說:『一切有生滅的法都是會消滅的,這是真諦,不是虛妄的。』如果他們不執著于這種真諦,並且觀察一切世間的生滅變化,這就是第二種婆羅門的真諦。 『再次,婆羅門說:『沒有『我』的存在,也沒有『我』所擁有的事物,這才是真諦,不是虛妄的。』就像前面所說,如果他們不執著于這種觀念,並且對一切世間都持有無我的觀念,這就是第三種婆羅門的真諦,是我自己覺悟成正等正覺,併爲他人宣說的。』當時,許多婆羅門出家人都沉默不語。 這時,世尊心想:『現在這些人愚癡,殺害那些惡人,現在這些人中沒有一個能自己思考,想要創造因緣,在沙門瞿曇的教法中修行梵行。』這樣想后,就從座位上起身離開了。

English version The Buddha, having taken his seat, addressed the Brahmin renunciates: 'What are you all gathered here discussing by the side of this Sumagadha pond?' The Brahmin renunciates replied to the Buddha: 'Gautama! We, many Brahmin renunciates, are gathered here, discussing: 『Such is the truth of the Brahmin. Such is the truth of the Brahmin.』' The Buddha told the Brahmin renunciates: 'There are three truths of the Brahmin, which I have realized through my own enlightenment and now teach to others. You Brahmin renunciates say: 『Not harming all living beings is the truth of the Brahmin, and it is not false.』 If they do not cling to the notions of 『I am superior,』 『I am similar,』 or 『I am inferior』 regarding this statement, and if they cultivate a heart of loving-kindness towards all the world, this is the first truth of the Brahmin, which I have realized through my own enlightenment and now teach to others. 'Furthermore, the Brahmins say: 『All phenomena that arise are subject to cessation; this is the truth, and it is not false.』 If they do not cling to this truth and observe the arising and ceasing of all things in the world, this is the second truth of the Brahmin. 'Moreover, the Brahmins say: 『There is no self, and there are no things belonging to a self; this is the truth, and it is not false.』 As said before, if they do not cling to this notion and hold a view of no-self towards all the world, this is the third truth of the Brahmin, which I have realized through my own enlightenment and now teach to others.' At that time, many Brahmin renunciates remained silent. Then, the World-Honored One thought: 'Now these people are foolish, killing those who are evil. Now, among these people, there is not one who can reflect on their own and wish to create the conditions to practice the holy life in the Dharma of the Shramana Gautama.' Having understood this, he rose from his seat and departed.


(九七三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園,尊者阿難亦住于彼。

時,有外道出家名曰栴陀,詣尊者阿難所,與尊者阿難共相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,問尊者阿難言:「何故於沙門瞿曇所出家修梵行?」

阿難答言:「為斷貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡故,于彼出家修梵行。」

栴陀復問:「彼能說斷貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡耶?」

阿難答言:「我亦能說斷貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡。」

栴陀復問:「汝見貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡有何過患,說斷貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡耶?」

阿難答言:「染著貪慾映障心故,或自害,或復害他,或復俱害,現法得罪、後世得罪、現法後世二俱得罪,彼心常懷憂、苦受覺。若瞋恚映障、愚癡映障,自害、害他、自他俱害,乃至常懷憂、苦受覺。又復,貪慾為盲、為無目、為無智、為慧力羸、為障閡,非明、非等覺,不轉向涅槃。瞋恚、愚癡亦復如是。我見貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡有如是過患,故說斷貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡。」

栴陀復問:「汝見斷貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡有何福利,而說斷貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡?」

阿難答言:「斷貪慾已,不自害,又不害他,亦不俱害;又復不現法得罪、後世得罪、現法後世得罪,心法常懷喜樂、受覺

現代漢語譯本 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園,尊者阿難也住在那裡。 當時,有一位名叫栴陀的外道出家人,來到尊者阿難的住所,與尊者阿難互相問候慰勞之後,退坐在一旁,問尊者阿難說:『你為什麼在沙門瞿曇那裡出家修行梵行呢?』 阿難回答說:『爲了斷除貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡,所以在那裡出家修行梵行。』 栴陀又問:『他能說斷除貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡的方法嗎?』 阿難回答說:『我也能說斷除貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡的方法。』 栴陀又問:『你看到貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡有什麼過患,才說要斷除貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡呢?』 阿難回答說:『因為貪慾的染著會矇蔽心智,所以會自害,或者害他人,或者兩者都害,導致今生得罪、來世得罪、今生來世都得罪,內心常常懷有憂愁、痛苦的感受。如果瞋恚矇蔽、愚癡矇蔽,也會自害、害他、自他都害,乃至常常懷有憂愁、痛苦的感受。而且,貪慾是盲目的、沒有眼睛的、沒有智慧的、慧力衰弱的、是障礙,不是光明、不是正覺,不能轉向涅槃。瞋恚、愚癡也是如此。我看到貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡有這樣的過患,所以才說要斷除貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡。』 栴陀又問:『你看到斷除貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡有什麼好處,才說要斷除貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡呢?』 阿難回答說:『斷除貪慾之後,不會自害,也不會害他人,也不會兩者都害;而且不會今生得罪、來世得罪、今生來世都得罪,內心常常懷有喜悅、快樂的感受。』

English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Ghosita Garden in Kosambi, and the venerable Ananda was also dwelling there. Then, there was an ascetic of another sect named Chandaka, who went to the venerable Ananda, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries, sat down to one side and asked the venerable Ananda: 'Why did you leave home and practice the holy life under the ascetic Gautama?' Ananda replied: 'It is to abandon greed, hatred, and delusion that I left home and practice the holy life there.' Chandaka further asked: 'Is he able to teach the abandonment of greed, hatred, and delusion?' Ananda replied: 'I am also able to teach the abandonment of greed, hatred, and delusion.' Chandaka further asked: 'What faults do you see in greed, hatred, and delusion that you speak of abandoning greed, hatred, and delusion?' Ananda replied: 'Because attachment to greed obscures the mind, one harms oneself, or harms others, or harms both; one incurs demerit in this life, incurs demerit in the next life, and incurs demerit in both this life and the next, and the mind is always filled with sorrow and painful feelings. If hatred obscures, if delusion obscures, one harms oneself, harms others, harms both oneself and others, and one is always filled with sorrow and painful feelings. Moreover, greed is blind, without eyes, without wisdom, with weak wisdom, an obstacle, not light, not enlightenment, not turning towards Nirvana. Hatred and delusion are also like this. I see such faults in greed, hatred, and delusion, therefore I speak of abandoning greed, hatred, and delusion.' Chandaka further asked: 'What benefits do you see in abandoning greed, hatred, and delusion that you speak of abandoning greed, hatred, and delusion?' Ananda replied: 'Having abandoned greed, one does not harm oneself, nor does one harm others, nor does one harm both; moreover, one does not incur demerit in this life, in the next life, or in both this life and the next, and the mind is always filled with joy and pleasant feelings.'


。瞋恚、愚癡亦復如是。于現法中常離熾然,不待時節,有得余現法緣自覺知。見有如是功德利益故,說斷貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡。」

栴陀復問:「尊者阿難!有道有跡,修習多修習,能斷貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡不?」

阿難答言:「有。謂八正道——正見乃至正定。」

栴陀外道白尊者阿難:「此是賢哉之道、賢哉之跡,修習多修習,能斷貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡。」

時,栴陀外道聞尊者阿難所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起而去。

(九七四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者舍利弗詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊為尊者舍利弗種種說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,默然住。

時,尊者舍利弗聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜已,稽首禮足而去。

時,有外道出家補縷低迦隨路而來,問尊者舍利弗:「從何所來?」

舍利弗答言:「火種!我從我世尊所,聽大師說教授法來。」

補縷低迦問尊者舍利弗:「今猶不離乳,從師聞說教授法耶?」

舍利弗答言:「火種!我不離乳,于大師所,聞說教授法。」

補縷低迦語尊者舍利弗言:「我久已離乳,舍師所說教授法

現代漢語譯本:'嗔恚和愚癡也是如此。在現世中,它們常常遠離熾熱的煩惱,不需等待時機,就能通過現世的因緣自覺地認知到。因為看到這些功德利益,所以說要斷除貪慾、嗔恚和愚癡。' '栴陀又問:『尊者阿難!有沒有一條道路或方法,通過修習和反覆修習,能夠斷除貪慾、嗔恚和愚癡?』 '阿難回答說:『有。那就是八正道——正見乃至正定。』 '栴陀外道對尊者阿難說:『這真是賢妙的道路,賢妙的方法,通過修習和反覆修習,能夠斷除貪慾、嗔恚和愚癡。』 '當時,栴陀外道聽了尊者阿難所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離開了。' '(九七四)' '如是我聞:' '一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。' '當時,尊者舍利弗來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。' '這時,世尊為尊者舍利弗宣說了各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使之歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、使之歡喜后,便默然不語。' '當時,尊者舍利弗聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎后,向佛陀頂禮告退。' '這時,有一個外道出家者補縷低迦沿著路走來,問尊者舍利弗:『你從哪裡來?』 '舍利弗回答說:『火種!我從我的世尊那裡來,聽大師講授教法。』 '補縷低迦問尊者舍利弗:『你現在還沒斷奶,就從老師那裡聽聞教法了嗎?』 '舍利弗回答說:『火種!我沒有斷奶,在我的大師那裡,聽聞了教法。』 '補縷低迦對尊者舍利弗說:『我早就斷奶了,捨棄了老師所說的教法。』

English version: 'Likewise are hatred and delusion. In the present life, they are constantly far from burning afflictions, not waiting for a time, and one can self-consciously know through the present life's conditions. Because one sees such merits and benefits, it is said to abandon greed, hatred, and delusion.' 'Chandaka further asked: 『Venerable Ananda! Is there a path or a practice that, through cultivation and repeated cultivation, can eradicate greed, hatred, and delusion?』 'Ananda replied: 『Yes. It is the Noble Eightfold Path—right view to right concentration.』 'The ascetic Chandaka said to Venerable Ananda: 『This is indeed a virtuous path, a virtuous practice, that through cultivation and repeated cultivation, can eradicate greed, hatred, and delusion.』 'Then, the ascetic Chandaka, having heard what Venerable Ananda said, rejoiced and applauded, and rose from his seat and departed.' '(974)' 'Thus have I heard:' 'At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.' 'At that time, Venerable Sariputta went to the Buddha, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side.' 'Then, the World-Honored One expounded various teachings to Venerable Sariputta, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening him; having shown, taught, illuminated, and gladdened him, he remained silent.' 'Then, Venerable Sariputta, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, and bowed his head and departed.' 'At that time, a wandering ascetic named Puludika came along the road and asked Venerable Sariputta: 『Where are you coming from?』 'Sariputta replied: 『Fire-kind! I come from my World-Honored One, having heard the Master expound the teachings.』 'Puludika asked Venerable Sariputta: 『Are you still not weaned from milk, and yet you hear the teachings from your teacher?』 'Sariputta replied: 『Fire-kind! I am not weaned from milk, and yet, at my Master's place, I have heard the teachings.』 'Puludika said to Venerable Sariputta: 『I have long been weaned from milk, and I have abandoned the teachings of my teacher.』

舍利弗言:「汝法是惡說法、律,惡覺,非為出離、非正覺道,壞法、非可讚嘆法、非可依止法,又彼師者,非等正覺,是故汝等疾疾舍乳,離師教法。譬如乳牛,粗惡狂騷,又少乳汁,彼犢飲乳,疾疾捨去;如是惡說法、律,惡覺,非出離、非正覺道,壞法、非可讚嘆法、非可依止法。又彼師者,非等正覺,是故速舍師教授法。我所有法是正法、律,是善覺,是出離正覺道,不壞、可讚嘆、可依止。又彼大師是等正覺,是故久飲其乳,聽受大師說教授法。譬如乳牛,不粗狂騷,又多乳汁,彼犢飲時,久而不厭。我法如是,是正法、律,乃至久聽說教授法。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,補縷低迦外道出家來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!先日眾多種種異道出家沙門、婆羅門集於未曾有講堂,作如是論議:『沙門瞿曇智慧猶如空舍,不能于大眾中建立論議,此應此不應,此合此不合

現代漢語譯本: 舍利弗說:『你的法是邪惡的說法和戒律,是錯誤的覺悟,不是解脫之道,不是正覺之道,是破壞性的,不可讚美的,不可依賴的。而且你的老師也不是真正的覺悟者。所以你們要趕快捨棄(他的)教導,離開(他的)師法。就像一頭粗暴狂躁、乳汁又少的母牛,小牛喝了它的奶,會很快離開;同樣的,邪惡的說法和戒律,錯誤的覺悟,不是解脫之道,不是正覺之道,是破壞性的,不可讚美的,不可依賴的。而且你們的老師也不是真正的覺悟者,所以要趕快捨棄老師的教導。我的法是正法和戒律,是正確的覺悟,是解脫的正覺之道,不破壞,值得讚美,可以依賴。而且我的大師是真正的覺悟者,所以要長久地飲用他的乳汁,聽受大師的教導。就像一頭不粗暴狂躁、乳汁又多的母牛,小牛喝的時候,久久不會厭倦。我的法也是這樣,是正法和戒律,乃至可以長久地聽受教導。』 當時,補縷低迦對舍利弗說:『你們真是獲得了極大的利益,能夠長久地聽受正法和戒律的教導。』 當時,補縷低迦外道出家聽了舍利弗所說,歡喜隨喜,就離開了。 (九七五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,補縷低迦外道出家來到佛陀所在的地方,與世尊互相問候慰勞之後,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『瞿曇!前些日子,各種不同道的外道出家沙門、婆羅門聚集在未曾有講堂,進行這樣的辯論:『沙門瞿曇的智慧就像空房子一樣,不能在大眾中建立論議,說這個應該,那個不應該,這個符合,那個不符合。』

English version: Sariputra said: 'Your Dharma is evil teachings and precepts, a wrong awakening, not a path to liberation, not a path to right awakening, it is destructive, not praiseworthy, and not reliable. Moreover, your teacher is not a truly enlightened one. Therefore, you should quickly abandon (his) teachings and leave (his) teacher's Dharma. Just like a cow that is rough, wild, and has little milk, a calf will quickly leave after drinking its milk; similarly, evil teachings and precepts, a wrong awakening, are not a path to liberation, not a path to right awakening, they are destructive, not praiseworthy, and not reliable. Moreover, your teacher is not a truly enlightened one, so you should quickly abandon the teacher's teachings. My Dharma is the right Dharma and precepts, it is the correct awakening, it is the path to liberation and right awakening, it is not destructive, it is praiseworthy, and it is reliable. Moreover, my master is a truly enlightened one, so you should drink his milk for a long time and listen to the master's teachings. Just like a cow that is not rough or wild and has a lot of milk, a calf will not get tired of drinking it for a long time. My Dharma is like this, it is the right Dharma and precepts, and one can listen to the teachings for a long time.' At that time, Pūrṇa-Kāśyapa said to Sariputra: 'You have truly gained great benefit, being able to listen to the teachings of the right Dharma and precepts for a long time.' At that time, Pūrṇa-Kāśyapa, an ascetic of another sect, heard what Sariputra said, rejoiced and followed along, and then left. (975) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, Pūrṇa-Kāśyapa, an ascetic of another sect, came to where the Buddha was, exchanged greetings and pleasantries with the World-Honored One, and then sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha: 'Gautama! Some days ago, various ascetics and Brahmins of different sects gathered in the unprecedented lecture hall and had this discussion: 'The wisdom of the ascetic Gautama is like an empty house, unable to establish an argument in the assembly, saying this is right, that is not right, this is in accordance, that is not in accordance.'


。譬如盲牛,偏行邊畔,不入中田;沙門瞿曇亦復如是,無應不應,無合不合。』」

佛告補縷低迦:「此諸外道論議,說應不應,合不合,于聖法、律,如小兒戲。譬如士夫,年八、九十,發白齒落,作小兒戲,團治泥土,作象作馬,種種形類,眾人皆言:『此老小兒。』如是。火種!種種諸論,謂應不應,合不合,于聖法、律,如小兒戲,然于彼中,無有比丘方便所應。」

補縷低迦白佛:「瞿曇!於何處有比丘方便所應?」

佛告外道:「不清凈者令其清凈,是名比丘方便所應。不調令調,是名比丘方便所應。諸不定者令得正受,是名比丘方便所應。不解脫者令得解脫,是名比丘方便所應。不斷令斷、不知令知、不修令修、不得令得,是名比丘方便所應。

「云何不凈令凈?謂戒不凈者,令其清凈。云何不調伏令其調伏?謂眼根。耳、鼻、舌、身、意根不調伏,令其調伏,是名不調伏者令其調伏。云何不定令其正受,謂心不正定,令得正受。云何不解脫者令得解脫?謂心不解脫貪慾、恚、癡,令得解脫。云何不斷令斷?謂無明、有、愛,不斷令斷。云何不知令知?謂其名色,不知令知。云何不修令修?謂止、觀,不修令修。云何不得令得?謂般涅槃,不得令得,是名比丘方便所應

現代漢語譯本:『例如盲牛,偏走在田邊,不進入田中;沙門瞿曇也是這樣,沒有應與不應,沒有合與不合。』 佛陀告訴補縷低迦:『這些外道的論議,說應與不應,合與不合,對於神聖的佛法和戒律來說,就像小孩子玩耍一樣。例如一個男子,八九十歲了,頭髮白了,牙齒掉了,還像小孩子一樣玩耍,用泥土捏成大象、馬等各種形狀,人們都會說:『這個老小孩。』也是這樣。火種!各種各樣的論議,說應與不應,合與不合,對於神聖的佛法和戒律來說,就像小孩子玩耍一樣,然而在這些論議中,沒有比丘應該採取的方便。』 補縷低迦問佛陀:『瞿曇!在什麼情況下有比丘應該採取的方便呢?』 佛陀告訴外道:『使不清凈的人變得清凈,這叫做比丘應該採取的方便。使不調伏的人變得調伏,這叫做比丘應該採取的方便。使心不定的人得到正定,這叫做比丘應該採取的方便。使不解脫的人得到解脫,這叫做比丘應該採取的方便。使沒有斷除的斷除,使不知道的知道,使沒有修行的修行,使沒有得到的得到,這叫做比丘應該採取的方便。』 『怎樣使不清凈的人變得清凈呢?就是戒律不清凈的人,使他變得清凈。怎樣使不調伏的人變得調伏呢?就是眼根、耳根、鼻根、舌根、身根、意根不調伏,使他變得調伏,這叫做使不調伏的人變得調伏。怎樣使心不定的人得到正定呢?就是心沒有正定,使他得到正定。怎樣使不解脫的人得到解脫呢?就是心沒有從貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡中解脫,使他得到解脫。怎樣使沒有斷除的斷除呢?就是無明、有、愛,使他斷除。怎樣使不知道的知道呢?就是名色,使他知道。怎樣使沒有修行的修行呢?就是止、觀,使他修行。怎樣使沒有得到的得到呢?就是涅槃,使他得到,這叫做比丘應該採取的方便。』

English version: 'For example, a blind ox, walks along the edge of the field, not entering the middle of the field; the Shramana Gautama is also like this, without should or should not, without fit or unfit.' The Buddha told Pūrṇa-Kāśyapa: 'These discussions of the outsiders, saying should or should not, fit or unfit, are like children's games in regards to the sacred Dharma and Vinaya. For example, a man, eighty or ninety years old, with white hair and fallen teeth, still plays like a child, shaping mud into elephants, horses, and various forms, people will all say: 『This old child.』 It is like that. Fire-kind! All kinds of discussions, saying should or should not, fit or unfit, are like children's games in regards to the sacred Dharma and Vinaya, yet in those discussions, there is no expedient that a bhikkhu should take.' Pūrṇa-Kāśyapa asked the Buddha: 'Gautama! In what circumstances is there an expedient that a bhikkhu should take?' The Buddha told the outsider: 'To make the impure pure, this is called an expedient that a bhikkhu should take. To make the untamed tamed, this is called an expedient that a bhikkhu should take. To make the unsettled settled, this is called an expedient that a bhikkhu should take. To make the unliberated liberated, this is called an expedient that a bhikkhu should take. To make the unabandoned abandoned, to make the unknown known, to make the uncultivated cultivated, to make the unattained attained, this is called an expedient that a bhikkhu should take.' 'How to make the impure pure? It is to make those whose precepts are impure, pure. How to make the untamed tamed? It is to tame the untamed eye faculty, ear faculty, nose faculty, tongue faculty, body faculty, and mind faculty, this is called making the untamed tamed. How to make the unsettled settled? It is to make the unsettled mind settled. How to make the unliberated liberated? It is to liberate the mind from greed, hatred, and delusion. How to make the unabandoned abandoned? It is to abandon ignorance, existence, and craving. How to make the unknown known? It is to know name and form. How to make the uncultivated cultivated? It is to cultivate cessation and insight. How to make the unattained attained? It is to attain Nirvana, this is called an expedient that a bhikkhu should take.'

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有外道出家,名曰尸婆,來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!云何為學?所謂學者,云何學?」

佛告尸婆:「學其所學,故名為學。」

尸婆白佛:「何所學?」

佛告尸婆:「隨時學增上戒,增上意,學增上慧。」

尸婆白佛:「若阿羅漢比丘諸漏已盡,所作已作,舍諸重擔,逮得己利,盡諸有結,正智善解脫,當於爾時,復何所學?」

佛告尸婆:「若阿羅漢比丘諸漏已盡,乃至正智善解脫,當於爾時,覺知貪慾永盡無餘;覺知瞋恚、愚癡永盡無餘,故不復更造諸惡,常行諸善。尸婆!是名為學其所學。」

(九七七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本 補縷低迦對佛說:『瞿曇!這種意義是比丘應該方便修習的,是堅固的比丘應該方便修習的,也就是所謂的斷盡一切煩惱。』 當時,補縷低迦外道出家聽聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位上起身離去。 (九七六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位外道出家,名叫尸婆,來到佛陀所在之處,與世尊互相問候慰勞之後,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『瞿曇!什麼是學習?所謂學習者,如何學習?』 佛告訴尸婆:『學習應該學習的,所以稱為學習。』 尸婆問佛:『應該學習什麼?』 佛告訴尸婆:『隨時學習增上戒,增上意,學習增上慧。』 尸婆問佛:『如果阿羅漢比丘已經斷盡一切煩惱,該做的已經做完,捨棄一切重擔,獲得自己的利益,斷盡一切束縛,以正智善得解脫,在那個時候,還需要學習什麼呢?』 佛告訴尸婆:『如果阿羅漢比丘已經斷盡一切煩惱,乃至以正智善得解脫,在那個時候,他會覺知貪慾永遠斷盡無餘;覺知嗔恚、愚癡永遠斷盡無餘,所以不再造作諸惡,常常行諸善。尸婆!這稱為學習應該學習的。』 當時,尸婆外道出家聽聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位上起身離去。 (九七七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

English version Then Puṇṇika said to the Buddha, 『Gautama, this meaning is what a bhikkhu should practice with skillful means, what a steadfast bhikkhu should practice with skillful means, that is, the so-called ending of all outflows.』 At that time, Puṇṇika, the wandering ascetic, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted, and rose from his seat and departed. (976) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rājagaha. Then, there was a wandering ascetic named Siva, who came to where the Buddha was. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the Blessed One, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 『Gautama, what is learning? What is meant by a learner, and how does one learn?』 The Buddha said to Siva, 『One learns what is to be learned, therefore it is called learning.』 Siva asked the Buddha, 『What is to be learned?』 The Buddha said to Siva, 『One learns higher morality, higher mind, and higher wisdom at all times.』 Siva asked the Buddha, 『If an Arhat bhikkhu has already ended all outflows, done what was to be done, laid down all burdens, attained his own benefit, ended all fetters, and is well liberated through right knowledge, what is there left to learn at that time?』 The Buddha said to Siva, 『If an Arhat bhikkhu has already ended all outflows, and is well liberated through right knowledge, at that time, he knows that greed is completely ended without remainder; he knows that hatred and delusion are completely ended without remainder, therefore he no longer commits any evil, and always practices good. Siva, this is called learning what is to be learned.』 At that time, Siva, the wandering ascetic, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted, and rose from his seat and departed. (977) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rājagaha.


爾時,尸婆外道出家來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!有一沙門婆羅門作如是見、如是說:『若人有所知覺,彼一切本所作因,修諸苦行,令過去業盡,更不造新業,斷于因緣,于未來世無復諸漏。諸漏盡故業盡,業盡故苦盡,苦盡者究竟苦邊。』今瞿曇所說云何?」

佛告尸婆:「彼沙門婆羅門實爾洛漠說耳,不審不數,愚癡不善不辯。所以者何?或從風起苦,眾生覺知,或從痰起,或從唌唾起,或等分起,或自害,或他害,或因節氣。彼自害者,或拔髮、或拔鬚,或常立舉手,或蹲地,或臥灰土中,或臥棘刺上,或臥杵上、或板上,或牛屎塗地而臥其上,或臥水中,或日三洗浴,或一足而立,身隨日轉。如是眾苦精勤有行,尸婆!是名自害。他害者,或為他手石、刀、杖等,種種害身,是名他害。尸婆!若復時節所害,冬則大寒,春則大熱,夏寒暑俱,是名節氣所害。世間真實,非為虛妄。尸婆!世間有此真實,為風所害,乃至節氣所害,彼眾生如實覺知。汝亦自有此患,風痰唌唾,乃至節氣所害覺,如是如實覺知。尸婆!若彼沙門婆羅門言一切人所知覺者皆是本所造因,舍世間真實事而隨自見,作虛妄說。

「尸婆!有五因五緣生心法憂苦

現代漢語譯本: 當時,一位名叫尸婆的外道出家人來到佛陀所在的地方,與世尊互相問候致意后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇!有些沙門婆羅門持有這樣的見解,並這樣宣說:『如果一個人有所感知,那一切都是他過去所作的因造成的。通過修行各種苦行,可以使過去的業力消盡,不再造新的業,斷絕因緣,在未來世就不會再有煩惱。煩惱消盡,業力也就消盡;業力消盡,痛苦也就消盡;痛苦消盡,就達到了究竟的苦的盡頭。』現在瞿曇您所說的又是什麼呢?』 佛陀告訴尸婆:『那些沙門婆羅門只是在胡言亂語,他們不加審察,不明事理,愚癡不善,沒有辨別能力。為什麼這麼說呢?有的苦是因風而起,眾生能感知到;有的苦是因痰而起;有的苦是因唾液而起;有的苦是因身體各部分不調和而起;有的苦是自己傷害自己造成的;有的苦是他人傷害造成的;有的苦是因季節氣候變化造成的。所謂自己傷害自己,有的是拔頭髮、拔鬍鬚,有的是常站立舉手,有的是蹲在地上,有的是睡在灰土中,有的是睡在荊棘上,有的是睡在木杵上或木板上,有的是睡在塗了牛糞的地上,有的是睡在水中,有的是一天洗三次澡,有的是單腳站立,身體隨著太陽轉動。像這樣精勤地修行各種苦行,尸婆!這叫做自己傷害自己。所謂他人傷害,有的是被他人用石頭、刀、棍棒等各種方式傷害身體,這叫做他人傷害。尸婆!還有因季節氣候變化造成的傷害,冬天非常寒冷,春天非常炎熱,夏天寒冷和炎熱交替,這叫做季節氣候造成的傷害。世間真實存在這些情況,並非虛妄。尸婆!世間確實存在這些真實的情況,被風傷害,乃至被季節氣候傷害,眾生如實地感知到這些。你自己也有這些病患,因風、痰、唾液,乃至季節氣候變化而感知到的,你如實地感知到這些。尸婆!如果那些沙門婆羅門說一切人所感知到的都是過去所造的因,那就是捨棄世間真實的情況而隨從自己的見解,說虛妄的話。』 『尸婆!有五種因緣導致心生憂愁和痛苦。』

English version: At that time, a wandering ascetic named Siva came to where the Buddha was. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the World-Honored One, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! There are some ascetics and Brahmins who hold such views and proclaim thus: 『If a person has any feeling, all of it is due to past actions. By practicing various austerities, one can exhaust past karma, not create new karma, sever the causes and conditions, and in the future, there will be no more defilements. When defilements are exhausted, karma is exhausted; when karma is exhausted, suffering is exhausted; when suffering is exhausted, one reaches the ultimate end of suffering.』 What do you say about this, Gautama?' The Buddha said to Siva, 'Those ascetics and Brahmins are just talking nonsense. They do not examine, they do not consider, they are foolish, unskilled, and lack discernment. Why is that? Some suffering arises from wind, which beings perceive; some arises from phlegm; some arises from saliva; some arises from imbalance; some is self-inflicted; some is inflicted by others; and some is due to seasonal changes. Self-inflicted suffering includes pulling out hair, pulling out beards, standing with raised arms, squatting on the ground, lying in ashes, lying on thorns, lying on a pestle or a board, lying on the ground smeared with cow dung, lying in water, bathing three times a day, standing on one foot, and turning the body with the sun. Such diligent practice of various austerities, Siva, is called self-inflicted suffering. Suffering inflicted by others includes being harmed by others with stones, knives, sticks, and various other means, which is called suffering inflicted by others. Siva! There is also suffering caused by seasonal changes: winter is very cold, spring is very hot, and summer has both cold and heat. These are called sufferings caused by seasonal changes. These are real things in the world, not illusions. Siva! These real things exist in the world, being harmed by wind, and even being harmed by seasonal changes, beings perceive these things as they are. You yourself have these ailments, feeling the effects of wind, phlegm, saliva, and even seasonal changes, and you perceive these things as they are. Siva! If those ascetics and Brahmins say that all feelings are due to past actions, they are abandoning the real things of the world and following their own views, speaking falsely.' 'Siva! There are five causes and five conditions that give rise to mental sorrow and suffering.'


。何等為五?謂因貪慾纏,緣貪慾纏,生心法憂苦;因瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑纏,緣瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑纏,生彼心法憂苦,尸婆!是名五因五緣生心法憂苦。尸婆!有五因五緣不生心法憂苦。何等為五?謂因貪慾纏,緣貪慾纏,生彼心法憂苦者,離彼貪慾纏,不起心法憂苦,是名五因五緣不起心法憂苦。現法得離熾然,不待時節,通達現見,緣自覺知。尸婆!復有現法離熾然,不待時節,通達現見,緣自覺知,謂八正道——正見乃至正定。」

說是法時,尸婆外道出家遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。時,尸婆外道出家見法、得法、知法、入法,離諸狐疑,不由於他,入正法、律,得無所畏。即從坐起,整衣服,合掌白佛:「世尊!我今可得於正法、律出家、受具足,得比丘分耶?」

佛告尸婆:「汝今得出家……」如上說,乃至「心善解脫,得阿羅漢。」

(九七八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住那羅聚落好衣庵羅園中。爾時,那羅聚落有商主外道出家,百二十歲,年耆根熟,為那羅聚落諸沙門、婆羅門、長者、居士尊重供養,如阿羅漢

現代漢語譯本:什麼是五種?是指因為貪慾的纏縛,以貪慾的纏縛為緣,產生內心的憂愁和痛苦;因為嗔恚、睡眠、掉舉和後悔、疑惑的纏縛,以嗔恚、睡眠、掉舉和後悔、疑惑的纏縛為緣,產生內心的憂愁和痛苦,尸婆!這稱為五種因緣產生內心的憂愁和痛苦。尸婆!有五種因緣不產生內心的憂愁和痛苦。什麼是五種?是指因為貪慾的纏縛,以貪慾的纏縛為緣,產生內心的憂愁和痛苦的人,如果能離開貪慾的纏縛,就不會產生內心的憂愁和痛苦,這稱為五種因緣不產生內心的憂愁和痛苦。當下就能脫離煩惱的熾熱,不需要等待時機,能夠通達並親眼見到,通過自身的覺悟而知曉。尸婆!還有當下就能脫離煩惱的熾熱,不需要等待時機,能夠通達並親眼見到,通過自身的覺悟而知曉的,那就是八正道——正見乃至正定。 當佛陀宣說此法時,尸婆外道出家之人遠離了塵垢,獲得了法眼清凈。當時,尸婆外道出家之人見到了法、得到了法、瞭解了法、進入了法,脫離了一切疑惑,不再依賴他人,進入了正法和戒律,獲得了無所畏懼。他立即從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,合掌向佛陀說道:『世尊!我現在可以在正法和戒律中出家、受具足戒,成為比丘嗎?』 佛陀告訴尸婆:『你現在可以出家……』如上所說,乃至『內心得到徹底的解脫,成為阿羅漢。』 (九七八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在納羅聚落的好衣庵羅園中。當時,納羅聚落有一位商主外道出家,一百二十歲,年老體衰,受到納羅聚落的沙門、婆羅門、長者、居士的尊重和供養,如同阿羅漢一般。

English version: What are the five? They are: due to the entanglement of greed, and with the entanglement of greed as the condition, mental sorrow and suffering arise; due to the entanglement of anger, sleepiness, restlessness and regret, and doubt, and with the entanglement of anger, sleepiness, restlessness and regret, and doubt as the condition, mental sorrow and suffering arise, Śiva! These are called the five causes and five conditions for the arising of mental sorrow and suffering. Śiva! There are five causes and five conditions for the non-arising of mental sorrow and suffering. What are the five? They are: for those who, due to the entanglement of greed, and with the entanglement of greed as the condition, experience mental sorrow and suffering, if they can be free from the entanglement of greed, then mental sorrow and suffering will not arise. This is called the five causes and five conditions for the non-arising of mental sorrow and suffering. One can immediately be free from the heat of defilements, without waiting for a time, able to understand and see directly, and know through one's own realization. Śiva! There is also immediate freedom from the heat of defilements, without waiting for a time, able to understand and see directly, and know through one's own realization, and that is the Noble Eightfold Path—Right View to Right Concentration. When the Buddha was speaking this Dharma, Śiva, the ascetic of another sect, went forth, was freed from defilement, and attained the purity of the Dharma eye. At that time, Śiva, the ascetic of another sect, saw the Dharma, attained the Dharma, understood the Dharma, entered the Dharma, was free from all doubts, no longer relied on others, entered the Right Dharma and Discipline, and attained fearlessness. He immediately rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'Venerable One! May I now go forth, receive full ordination in the Right Dharma and Discipline, and become a bhikkhu?' The Buddha told Śiva: 'You may now go forth...' as said above, up to 'the mind is well liberated, and one becomes an Arhat.' (978) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Good Clothes Mango Grove in the town of Narā. At that time, there was a merchant ascetic of another sect in the town of Narā, one hundred and twenty years old, old and with mature faculties, who was respected and honored by the śramaṇas, brahmins, elders, and householders of Narā, like an Arhat.


彼商主外道出家先有宗親一人,命終生天,于彼天上見商主外道出家已,作是念:「我欲往教彼商主外道出家詣世尊所,修行梵行,恐其不隨我語,我今當往彼,以意論令問。」

即下那羅聚落,詣彼商主外道出家所,說偈而問:

「云何惡知識,  現善知識相?  云何善知識,  如己同一體?  何故求于斷,  云何離熾然?

「若汝仙人持此意論而問于彼,有能分明解說其義而答汝者,便可從彼出家,修行梵行。」

時,商主外道出家受天所問,持詣富蘭那迦葉所,以此意論偈問富蘭那迦葉。彼富蘭那迦葉尚自不解,況復能答?彼時,商主外道出家復至末迦梨瞿舍利子所、刪阇耶毗羅坻子所、阿耆多枳舍欽婆羅所、迦羅拘陀迦栴延所、尼乾陀若提子所,皆以此意論偈而問,悉不能答。

時,商主外道出家作是念:「我以此意論問諸出家師,悉不能答,我今復欲求出家;為我今自有財寶,不如還家,服習五欲。」復作是念:「我今可往詣沙門瞿曇。然彼耆舊、諸師、沙門、婆羅門、富蘭那迦葉等,悉不能答,而沙門瞿曇年少出家,詎復能了?然我聞先宿所說莫輕新學年少出家,或有沙門年少出家,有大德力,今且當詣沙門瞿曇

現代漢語譯本:從前,有一位商主外道出家修行者,他的一位宗親去世后升到了天上。這位宗親在天上看到商主外道出家者后,心想:『我想去教導那位商主外道出家者去佛陀那裡修行,但他可能不聽我的話。我應該先去他那裡,用辯論的方式引導他去問佛陀。』 於是,這位天人就從天上下到那羅聚落,來到商主外道出家者那裡,用偈語問道:『什麼樣的惡知識,會顯現出善知識的樣子?什麼樣的善知識,會像自己身體的一部分一樣?為什麼要尋求斷滅?又該如何遠離煩惱的熾熱?』 天人告訴商主外道出家者:『如果你用這些問題去問那些修行人,如果有人能清楚地解釋這些問題的含義並回答你,你就可以跟隨他出家,修行梵行。』 當時,商主外道出家者接受了天人的問題,帶著這些問題去問富蘭那迦葉。富蘭那迦葉自己都不明白,更不用說回答了。之後,商主外道出家者又去問了末迦梨瞿舍利子、刪阇耶毗羅坻子、阿耆多枳舍欽婆羅、迦羅拘陀迦栴延、尼乾陀若提子,都用這些問題去問他們,但他們都不能回答。 這時,商主外道出家者心想:『我用這些問題問了所有的出家導師,他們都不能回答。我現在又想出家,但我自己還有財產,不如回家享受五欲。』他又想:『我還是去問問沙門瞿曇吧。雖然那些年長的、有名的導師、沙門、婆羅門,像富蘭那迦葉他們都不能回答,而沙門瞿曇年紀輕輕就出家了,他又能明白什麼呢?但我聽前輩說過,不要輕視新學出家的年輕人,也許有年輕出家的沙門有很大的德行和力量。我還是先去問問沙門瞿曇吧。』

English version: Once, there was a merchant chief ascetic who had a relative who passed away and was reborn in heaven. Upon seeing the merchant chief ascetic from heaven, the relative thought: 'I want to teach that merchant chief ascetic to go to the World Honored One to practice the holy life, but he might not listen to me. I should go to him first and use a debate to guide him to ask the Buddha.' So, the celestial being descended from heaven to the village of Narala, went to the merchant chief ascetic, and asked in verse: 'What kind of bad teacher appears as a good teacher? What kind of good teacher is like one's own body? Why seek annihilation? And how to be free from the burning of afflictions?' The celestial being told the merchant chief ascetic: 'If you ask these questions to those practitioners, and if someone can clearly explain the meaning of these questions and answer you, then you can follow him to leave home and practice the holy life.' At that time, the merchant chief ascetic accepted the celestial being's questions and went to Purana Kassapa with these questions. Purana Kassapa himself did not understand, let alone answer. After that, the merchant chief ascetic went to Makkhali Gosala, Sanjaya Belatthiputta, Ajita Kesakambali, Pakudha Kaccayana, and Nigantha Nataputta, asking them all the same questions, but none of them could answer. Then, the merchant chief ascetic thought: 'I asked all the ascetic teachers these questions, and none of them could answer. Now I want to leave home again, but I still have wealth, so maybe I should go home and enjoy the five desires.' Then he thought: 'I should still go ask the Shramana Gautama. Although those older, famous teachers, Shramanas, Brahmins, like Purana Kassapa, could not answer, and Shramana Gautama left home at a young age, what could he understand? But I heard from the elders that one should not underestimate young ascetics, perhaps there are young ascetics with great virtue and power. I should go ask Shramana Gautama first.'


。」詣已,以彼意論心念而問,如偈所說。

爾時,世尊知彼商主心之所念。即說偈言:

「云何惡知識?  現善友相者,  內心實恥厭,  口說我同心,  造事不樂同,  故知非善友,  口說恩愛語,  心不實相應,  所作而不同,  慧者應覺知,  是名惡知識,  現善知識相,  與己同一體。  云何善知識?  與己同體者,  非彼善知識,  放逸而不制,  沮壞懷疑惑,  伺求其端緒,  安於善知識,  如子臥父懷,  不為傍人聞,  當知善知識,  何故求于斷,  生歡喜之處,  清涼稱讚嘆,  修習福利果,  清涼永息滅,  是故求于斷。  云何離熾然?  寂靜止息味,  知彼遠離味,  遠離熾然惡,  飲以法喜味,  寂滅離慾火,  是名離熾然。」

爾時,商主外道出家作是念:「沙門瞿曇知我心念。」而白佛言:「我今得入沙門瞿曇正法、律中修行梵行,出家、受具足,成比丘分不?」

佛告商主外道出家:「汝今可得於正法、律修行梵行,出家、受具足,成比丘分。」如是出家已,思惟,乃至心善解脫,得阿羅漢

現代漢語譯本:他到達后,根據對方的心意和想法提問,就像偈語所說的那樣。 當時,世尊知道那位商主心中所想。於是說了偈語: 『什麼樣的才是惡知識?表面上裝作好朋友的樣子,內心其實厭惡鄙視,口頭上卻說和自己同心同德,做事卻不樂意一起,所以知道這不是好朋友。口頭上說恩愛的話,心裡卻不是真心相應,所作所為都不同,有智慧的人應該覺察到,這就是所謂的惡知識,表面上裝作好知識的樣子。和自己同心同德的人,並不是好知識,放縱而不加以約束,使人沮喪並心懷疑惑,伺機尋找把柄,安於好知識,就像孩子躺在父親的懷裡,不讓外人聽到。應當知道好知識,為什麼要尋求斷絕?在產生歡喜的地方,清涼而值得稱讚,修習福利的果報,清涼而永遠止息,所以要尋求斷絕。如何才能遠離熾熱?寂靜止息的滋味,知道遠離的滋味,遠離熾熱的惡,飲用法喜的滋味,寂滅而遠離貪慾,這就是所謂的遠離熾熱。』 當時,商主外道出家心想:『沙門瞿曇知道我心中所想。』於是對佛說:『我現在可以進入沙門瞿曇的正法和戒律中修行梵行,出家、受具足戒,成為比丘嗎?』 佛告訴商主外道出家:『你現在可以在正法和戒律中修行梵行,出家、受具足戒,成為比丘。』就這樣出家后,他思惟,乃至內心得到徹底解脫,證得阿羅漢果。

English version: Having arrived, he questioned him according to his thoughts and intentions, as the verses describe. At that time, the World Honored One knew what the merchant was thinking. So he spoke in verses: 'What is a bad friend? One who appears to be a good friend, but inwardly feels disgust and aversion, while verbally claiming to be of one mind. They are unwilling to act together, so you know they are not a good friend. They speak words of love and affection, but their hearts do not truly correspond. Their actions are different, and the wise should be aware of this. This is what is called a bad friend, one who appears to be a good friend. One who is of the same mind as oneself is not necessarily a good friend. They are indulgent and do not restrain, causing discouragement and doubt, seeking opportunities to exploit. One should rely on a good friend, like a child lying in their father's arms, not letting outsiders hear. One should know a good friend, why seek to sever ties? In a place where joy arises, cool and praiseworthy, cultivating the fruits of benefit, cool and forever ceasing, therefore one seeks to sever ties. How does one depart from the burning? The taste of stillness and cessation, knowing the taste of detachment, departing from the burning evil, drinking the taste of Dharma joy, stillness and detachment from desire, this is called departing from the burning.' At that time, the merchant, an ascetic of another path, thought: 'The Shramana Gautama knows my thoughts.' And he said to the Buddha: 'Can I now enter the Shramana Gautama's true Dharma and discipline to practice the Brahma-faring, to leave home, receive full ordination, and become a Bhikkhu?' The Buddha told the merchant, the ascetic of another path: 'You can now practice the Brahma-faring in the true Dharma and discipline, leave home, receive full ordination, and become a Bhikkhu.' Having thus left home, he contemplated, until his mind was completely liberated, and he attained Arhatship.


(九七九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住俱夷那竭國力士生處堅固雙樹林中。

爾時,世尊涅槃時至,告尊者阿難:「汝為世尊于雙樹間敷繩床,北首,如來今日中夜于無餘涅槃而般涅槃。」

爾時,尊者阿難奉教,于雙樹間敷繩床,北首,訖,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!已於雙樹間敷繩床,北首。」

爾時,世尊詣雙樹間,于繩床上北首右脅而臥,足足相累,繫念明想,正念正智。

時,俱夷那竭國有須跋陀羅外道出家,百二十歲,年耆根熟,為俱夷那竭國人恭敬供養,如阿羅漢。彼須跋陀羅出家聞世尊今日中夜當於無餘涅槃而般涅槃,然我有所疑,希望而住,沙門瞿曇有力,能開覺我,我今當詣沙門瞿曇,問其所疑。即出俱夷那竭,詣世尊所。

爾時,尊者阿難於園門外經行。時,須跋陀羅語阿難言:「我聞沙門瞿曇今日中夜于無餘涅槃而般涅槃,我有所疑,希望而住,沙門瞿曇有力,能開覺我。若阿難不憚勞者,為我往白瞿曇,少有閑暇,答我所問?」

阿難答言:「莫逼世尊!世尊疲極。」

如是須䟦陀羅再三請尊者阿難,尊者阿難亦再三不許

現代漢語譯本: (九七九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在拘夷那竭國力士出生地的堅固雙樹林中。 當時,世尊涅槃的時間到了,告訴尊者阿難:『你為世尊在雙樹之間鋪設繩床,頭朝北,如來今天半夜將進入無餘涅槃而般涅槃。』 當時,尊者阿難遵照教誨,在雙樹之間鋪設繩床,頭朝北,完畢后,來到佛陀處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立,稟告佛陀說:『世尊!已經在雙樹之間鋪設好繩床,頭朝北。』 當時,世尊來到雙樹之間,在繩床上頭朝北,右側臥下,雙腳交疊,繫念明想,正念正智。 這時,拘夷那竭國有一位名叫須跋陀羅的外道出家人,一百二十歲,年老根熟,被拘夷那竭國人恭敬供養,如同阿羅漢。這位須跋陀羅出家人聽說世尊今天半夜將進入無餘涅槃而般涅槃,但他心中有所疑惑,希望能夠得到解答,認為沙門瞿曇有能力開導他,他現在應當去拜訪沙門瞿曇,詢問他的疑惑。於是他離開拘夷那竭,前往世尊所在之處。 當時,尊者阿難在園門外經行。這時,須跋陀羅對阿難說:『我聽說沙門瞿曇今天半夜將進入無餘涅槃而般涅槃,我心中有所疑惑,希望能夠得到解答,認為沙門瞿曇有能力開導我。如果阿難不嫌勞累,請為我稟告瞿曇,看他是否有少許空閑,回答我的問題?』 阿難回答說:『不要打擾世尊!世尊已經很疲憊了。』 像這樣,須跋陀羅再三請求尊者阿難,尊者阿難也再三不答應。

English version: (Nine Seven Nine) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the firm twin Sala tree grove, the birthplace of the strongmen, in the country of Kusi-nagara. At that time, the World-Honored One's time for Nirvana was approaching. He told the Venerable Ananda, 'You should prepare a rope bed for the World-Honored One between the twin Sala trees, with its head pointing north. The Tathagata will enter Parinirvana, the Nirvana without remainder, in the middle of this night.' At that time, the Venerable Ananda followed the instructions, prepared a rope bed between the twin Sala trees, with its head pointing north. Having finished, he went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and stood to one side, reporting to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One! The rope bed has been prepared between the twin Sala trees, with its head pointing north.' At that time, the World-Honored One went to the twin Sala trees, lay down on the rope bed with his head pointing north, resting on his right side, with his feet overlapping, focusing his mind with clear thought, with right mindfulness and right wisdom. At this time, in the country of Kusi-nagara, there was an ascetic named Subhadra, an outsider, one hundred and twenty years old, old and with mature faculties, who was respected and revered by the people of Kusi-nagara as if he were an Arhat. This ascetic Subhadra heard that the World-Honored One would enter Parinirvana, the Nirvana without remainder, in the middle of this night. However, he had some doubts and hoped to have them resolved. He believed that the Shramana Gautama had the power to enlighten him. He should now go to visit the Shramana Gautama and ask about his doubts. So he left Kusi-nagara and went to where the World-Honored One was. At that time, the Venerable Ananda was walking outside the garden gate. Then, Subhadra said to Ananda, 'I have heard that the Shramana Gautama will enter Parinirvana, the Nirvana without remainder, in the middle of this night. I have some doubts and hope to have them resolved. I believe that the Shramana Gautama has the power to enlighten me. If Ananda does not mind the trouble, please report to Gautama, to see if he has a little free time to answer my questions?' Ananda replied, 'Do not disturb the World-Honored One! The World-Honored One is very tired.' In this way, Subhadra requested the Venerable Ananda three times, and the Venerable Ananda refused three times.


須跋陀羅言:「我聞古昔出家耆年大師所說,久久乃有如來、應、等正覺出於世間,如優曇缽花。而今如來中夜當於無餘涅槃界而般涅槃,我今於法疑,信心而住,沙門瞿曇有力,能開覺我,若阿難不憚勞者,為我白沙門瞿曇。」

阿難復答言:「須跋陀羅!莫逼世尊!世尊今日疲極。」

爾時,世尊以天耳聞阿難與須跋陀羅共語來往,而告尊者阿難:「莫遮外道出家須跋陀羅!令入問其所疑。所以者何?此是最後與外道出家論議,此是最後得證聲聞善來比丘,所謂須跋陀羅。」

爾時,須跋陀羅,世尊為開善根,歡喜增上,詣世尊所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!凡世間入處,謂富蘭那迦葉等六師,各作如是宗:『此是沙門,此是沙門。』云何?瞿曇!為實各各有是宗不?」

爾時,世尊即為說偈言:

「始年二十九,  出家修善道,  成道至於今,  經五十餘年,  三昧明行具,  常修于凈戒,  離斯少道分,  此外無沙門。」

佛告須跋陀羅:「于正法、律不得八正道者,亦不得初沙門,亦不得第二、第三、第四沙門

現代漢語譯本:須跋陀羅說:『我聽聞古代出家的年長導師們說過,如來、應供、正等覺很久很久才會出現於世間,就像優曇缽花一樣。而現在如來今夜將要進入無餘涅槃界而般涅槃,我對於佛法還有疑惑,雖然心懷信心,但還是想請教沙門瞿曇,他有能力開解我。如果阿難不嫌勞累,請為我稟告沙門瞿曇。』 阿難回答說:『須跋陀羅!不要打擾世尊!世尊今天已經很疲憊了。』 這時,世尊用天耳聽到了阿難和須跋陀羅的對話,就告訴尊者阿難:『不要阻攔外道出家的須跋陀羅!讓他進來問他所疑惑的問題。為什麼呢?因為這是最後一次與外道出家人辯論,這也是最後一位證得聲聞果位的善來比丘,這個人就是須跋陀羅。』 這時,須跋陀羅,世尊為他開示善根,他歡喜心增長,來到世尊面前,與世尊互相問候慰勞之後,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『瞿曇!世間所有修行之處,比如富蘭那迦葉等六師,他們各自都宣稱:『這是沙門,這是沙門。』 瞿曇!他們真的各自都有這樣的資格嗎?』 這時,世尊就為他說偈語: 『我二十九歲開始,出家修行善道,成道至今,已經五十多年,三昧、明行都具足,常常修持清凈的戒律,如果缺少這些,就缺少了道的一部分,除此之外,就沒有真正的沙門。』 佛告訴須跋陀羅:『在正法和戒律中,沒有得到八正道的人,就不能稱為初果沙門,也不能稱為第二、第三、第四果沙門。』

English version: Subhadra said, 'I have heard the elder masters of ancient times who had left home say that a Tathagata, an Arhat, a Fully Enlightened One, appears in the world after a very long time, like the Udumbara flower. And now the Tathagata will enter Parinirvana in the realm of Nirvana without remainder tonight. I still have doubts about the Dharma, and although I have faith, I still want to ask the Shramana Gautama, who has the power to enlighten me. If Ananda does not mind the trouble, please inform Shramana Gautama for me.' Ananda replied, 'Subhadra! Do not disturb the World Honored One! The World Honored One is very tired today.' At that time, the World Honored One heard the conversation between Ananda and Subhadra with his divine ear, and told the Venerable Ananda, 'Do not stop the non-Buddhist renunciate Subhadra! Let him come in and ask his questions. Why? Because this is the last time to debate with a non-Buddhist renunciate, and this is the last good-come bhikkhu who will attain the fruit of a Shravaka, and that person is Subhadra.' At this time, Subhadra, the World Honored One opened his roots of goodness, and his joy increased. He went to the World Honored One, greeted and comforted the World Honored One, then sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! All the places of practice in the world, such as the six teachers like Purana Kassapa, each claim: 『This is a Shramana, this is a Shramana.』 Gautama! Do they really each have this qualification?' At this time, the World Honored One spoke a verse for him: 'I was twenty-nine years old when I left home to practice the path of goodness. Since attaining enlightenment, it has been more than fifty years. Samadhi and clear conduct are complete. I always practice pure precepts. If these are lacking, then a part of the path is lacking. Apart from this, there is no true Shramana.' The Buddha told Subhadra, 'In the true Dharma and discipline, those who have not attained the Eightfold Path cannot be called the first Shramana, nor can they be called the second, third, or fourth Shramana.'


。須跋陀羅!於此法、律得八正道者,得初沙門,得第二、第三、第四沙門,除此已,于外道無沙門,斯則異道之師,空沙門、婆羅門耳。是故,我今于眾中作師子吼。」

說是法時,須跋陀羅外道出家遠塵離垢,得法眼凈。爾時,須跋陀羅見法、得法、知法、入法,度諸狐疑,不由他信,不由他度,于正法、律得無所畏。從坐起,整衣服,右膝著地,白尊者阿難:「汝得善利,汝得大師,為大師弟子,為大師雨,雨灌其頂。我今若得於正法、律出家、受具足,得比丘分者,亦當得斯善利!」

時,尊者阿難白佛言:「世尊!是須跋陀羅外道出家今求于正法、律出家、受具足,得比丘分。」

爾時,世尊告須跋陀羅:「此比丘來修行梵行。」

彼尊者須跋陀羅即于爾時出家,即是受具足,成比丘分。如是思惟,乃至心善解脫,得阿羅漢。

時,尊者須跋陀羅得阿羅漢,解脫樂覺知已,作是念:「我不忍見佛般涅槃,我當先般涅槃。」時,尊者須跋陀羅先般涅槃已,然後世尊般涅槃。

(九八〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在跋耆人間遊行,至毗舍離國,住獼猴池側重閣講堂。時,毗舍離國有眾多賈客,欲向怛剎尸羅國方便莊嚴

現代漢語譯本:須跋陀羅啊!在這佛法和戒律中,修習八正道的人,能證得初果沙門,能證得二果、三果、四果沙門。除了這裡,在其他外道中沒有沙門。那些外道之師,只是空有沙門和婆羅門的虛名罷了。因此,我現在在眾人中作獅子吼,宣說真理。 當佛陀宣說此法時,須跋陀羅這位外道修行者,遠離了塵垢,獲得了法眼清凈。那時,須跋陀羅見到了法,證得了法,理解了法,進入了法,超越了所有的疑惑,不再依賴他人的信仰,也不需要他人的引導,在正法和戒律中獲得了無所畏懼的信心。他從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,右膝跪地,對尊者阿難說:『你真是獲得了極大的利益,你得到了偉大的導師,作為導師的弟子,你如同被導師的甘露雨水灌溉頭頂。如果我今天能在正法和戒律中出家,受持具足戒,成為比丘的一份子,我也將獲得這樣的利益!』 當時,尊者阿難向佛陀稟告說:『世尊!這位須跋陀羅外道現在請求在正法和戒律中出家,受持具足戒,成為比丘的一份子。』 那時,世尊告訴須跋陀羅說:『這位比丘,來修行梵行吧。』 尊者須跋陀羅就在那時出家,即刻受持了具足戒,成爲了比丘的一份子。他如此思惟,直到內心完全解脫,證得了阿羅漢果。 當時,尊者須跋陀羅證得阿羅漢果,體驗到解脫的快樂后,他心想:『我不忍心見到佛陀般涅槃,我應當先般涅槃。』於是,尊者須跋陀羅先般涅槃,然後世尊才般涅槃。 (九八〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀在跋耆人間游化,到達毗舍離國,住在獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。當時,毗舍離國有很多商人,準備前往怛剎尸羅國,置辦貨物。

English version: 'Subhadda! Within this Dharma and Discipline, those who practice the Noble Eightfold Path attain the first stage of a Samana, the second, third, and fourth stages of a Samana. Apart from this, there are no Samanas in other sects. Those teachers of other sects are merely empty names of Samanas and Brahmins. Therefore, I now roar like a lion in the assembly, proclaiming the truth.' When the Buddha was teaching this Dharma, Subhadda, the ascetic of another sect, became free from defilement and attained the purity of the Dharma eye. At that time, Subhadda saw the Dharma, attained the Dharma, understood the Dharma, entered the Dharma, transcended all doubts, no longer relying on the faith of others, nor needing the guidance of others, and gained fearlessness in the true Dharma and Discipline. He rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, knelt on his right knee, and said to Venerable Ananda: 'You have gained great benefit, you have obtained a great teacher, as a disciple of the teacher, you are like being irrigated on the top of your head by the teacher's nectar rain. If I could today leave home in the true Dharma and Discipline, receive full ordination, and become a part of the Bhikkhu community, I would also gain such benefit!' At that time, Venerable Ananda reported to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! This Subhadda, an ascetic of another sect, now requests to leave home in the true Dharma and Discipline, receive full ordination, and become a part of the Bhikkhu community.' Then, the World Honored One said to Subhadda: 'This Bhikkhu, come and practice the holy life.' Venerable Subhadda then left home at that very moment, immediately received full ordination, and became a part of the Bhikkhu community. He contemplated in this way, until his mind was completely liberated, and he attained the state of an Arhat. At that time, Venerable Subhadda, having attained the state of an Arhat and experienced the joy of liberation, thought: 'I cannot bear to see the Buddha's Parinirvana, I should enter Parinirvana first.' Thus, Venerable Subhadda entered Parinirvana first, and then the World Honored One entered Parinirvana. (980) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering among the Vajji people, and arrived at the country of Vesali, staying at the multi-storied lecture hall by the Monkey Pond. At that time, there were many merchants in Vesali who were preparing to go to the country of Taxila to procure goods.


。是眾多賈客聞世尊于跋耆人間遊行,至毗舍離國,住獼猴池側重閣講堂。聞已,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。佛為諸賈客種種說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,默然住。

時,諸賈客從坐起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛言:「世尊!我等諸賈客方便莊嚴,欲至怛剎尸羅國,唯愿世尊與諸大眾明旦受我供養。」

爾時,世尊默然而許。

時,諸賈客知世尊受請已,從坐起,禮佛足,各還自家,辦種種凈美飲食,敷床座,安置凈水。晨朝遣使,白佛:「時到。」

爾時,世尊與諸大眾著衣持缽。詣諸賈客所,就座而坐。

時,諸賈客以凈美飲食自手供養。食畢洗缽訖,取卑小床,于大眾前坐,聽佛說法。

爾時,世尊告諸賈客:「汝等當行于曠野中,有諸恐怖,心驚毛豎。爾時,當念如來事,謂如來、應、等正覺,乃至佛世尊。如是念者,恐怖則除。又,念法事,佛正法、律,現法能離熾然,不待時節,通達親近,緣自覺知。又,念僧事,世尊弟子善向、正向,乃至世間福田。如是念者,恐怖即除。

「過去世時,天、阿須輪共鬥。時,天帝釋告諸天眾:『汝等與阿須輪共鬥戰之時,生恐怖者,當念我幢,名摧伏幢。念彼幢時,恐怖得除

現代漢語譯本:當時,許多商人聽說世尊在跋耆人間,到了毗舍離國,住在獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。他們聽聞后,來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,然後退坐在一旁。佛陀為這些商人宣說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、令他們歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、令他們歡喜后,佛陀便默然安住。 當時,這些商人從座位上起身,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛陀說:『世尊!我們這些商人準備妥當,想要前往怛剎尸羅國,懇請世尊和諸位大眾明天接受我們的供養。』 這時,世尊默然應允。 當時,這些商人知道世尊接受了邀請,便從座位上起身,禮拜佛足,各自回到家中,準備各種乾淨美好的飲食,鋪設床座,安置乾淨的水。早晨,他們派遣使者,稟告佛陀:『時間到了。』 這時,世尊與諸位大眾穿好衣服,拿著缽。前往這些商人的住所,就座而坐。 當時,這些商人用乾淨美好的飲食親自供養佛陀和大眾。用完餐,洗完缽后,他們取來矮小的床,在大眾面前坐下,聽佛陀說法。 這時,世尊告訴這些商人:『你們將要行走在曠野之中,會有各種恐怖,令你們心驚膽戰。那時,應當憶念如來的功德,即如來、應供、正等正覺,乃至佛世尊。這樣憶念,恐怖就會消除。又,憶念佛法,佛陀的正法、戒律,在當下就能使人遠離煩惱的熾熱,不需等待時日,通達親近,通過自身覺悟而知曉。又,憶念僧團,世尊的弟子們善於修行、正直修行,乃至是世間的福田。這樣憶念,恐怖也會消除。 『過去世時,天神和阿修羅互相爭鬥。當時,天帝釋告訴諸天眾:『你們與阿修羅戰鬥時,如果產生恐懼,應當憶念我的幢,名為摧伏幢。憶念此幢時,恐懼就會消除。』

English version: At that time, many merchants heard that the World Honored One was among the Vajji people, and had arrived at the country of Vaishali, residing in the lecture hall of the double-storied pavilion by the Monkey Pond. Having heard this, they came to where the Buddha was, bowed at his feet, and then sat down to one side. The Buddha spoke various teachings to these merchants, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening them; having shown, instructed, illuminated, and gladdened them, the Buddha remained in silence. Then, these merchants rose from their seats, adjusted their robes, paid homage to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! We merchants are prepared and wish to go to the country of Takshashila. We beseech the World Honored One and the great assembly to accept our offerings tomorrow morning.' At that time, the World Honored One silently consented. Then, these merchants, knowing that the World Honored One had accepted their invitation, rose from their seats, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and each returned to their own homes, preparing various clean and delicious foods, setting up seats, and arranging clean water. In the morning, they sent a messenger to inform the Buddha: 'The time has come.' At that time, the World Honored One, with the great assembly, put on their robes and took their bowls. They went to the merchants' place and sat down. Then, these merchants personally offered clean and delicious food to the Buddha and the assembly. After the meal, having washed their bowls, they took small low seats and sat before the assembly, listening to the Buddha's teachings. At that time, the World Honored One told the merchants: 'When you travel in the wilderness, there will be various terrors that will make your hearts tremble and your hair stand on end. At that time, you should remember the qualities of the Tathagata, namely, the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, and so on, up to the Buddha, the World Honored One. By remembering in this way, the terror will be dispelled. Also, remember the Dharma, the Buddha's true Dharma and precepts, which in the present moment can free one from the burning of afflictions, without waiting for time, reaching understanding and closeness, and knowing through one's own awakening. Also, remember the Sangha, the World Honored One's disciples who are practicing well, practicing rightly, and are the fields of merit in the world. By remembering in this way, the terror will also be dispelled.' 'In the past, the gods and the asuras fought each other. At that time, the god Indra told the gods: 'When you fight with the asuras and feel fear, you should remember my banner, called the Subduing Banner. When you remember this banner, the fear will be dispelled.'


。若不念我幢者,當念伊舍那天子幢;若不念伊舍那天子幢者,當念婆留那天子幢。念彼幢時,恐怖即除。』如是,諸商人!汝等於曠野中,有恐怖者,當念如來事、法事、僧事。」

爾時,世尊為諸毗舍離賈客說供養隨喜偈:

「供養比丘僧,  飲食隨時服,  專念諦思惟,  正知而行舍。  凈物良福田,  汝等悉具足,  緣斯功德利,  長夜獲安樂。  發心有所求,  眾利悉皆應,  兩足四足安,  道路往來安。  夜安晝亦安,  一切離諸惡,  如沃壤良田,  精純好種子。  溉灌以時澤,  收實不可量,  凈戒良福田,  精肴膳種子。  正行以將順,  終期妙果成,  是故行施者,  欲求備眾德。  當隨智慧行,  眾果自然備,  于明行足尊,  正心盡恭敬。  種殖眾善本,  終獲大福利,  如實知世間,  得具備正見。  具足見正道,  具足而升進,  遠離一切垢,  逮得涅槃道,  究竟於苦邊,  是名備眾德。」

爾時,世尊為諸毗舍離賈客說種種法,示、教、照、喜已,從坐起去。

(九八一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:『如果你們不念我的幢幡,就應當念伊舍那天子的幢幡;如果連伊舍那天子的幢幡也不念,就應當念婆留那天子的幢幡。念這些幢幡時,恐懼就會消除。』 諸位商人!你們在曠野中感到恐懼時,應當憶念如來的事蹟、佛法的教誨、僧團的功德。」, 當時,世尊為毗舍離的商人們說了供養隨喜的偈頌: 『供養比丘僧團,飲食隨時奉上,專心一意地思考,以正知正念佈施。清凈的供品是良田福地,你們都具備了這些,憑藉這些功德利益,長夜都能獲得安樂。發心有所求,各種利益都會應驗,兩足的、四足的都能平安,道路往來都平安。夜晚安寧,白天也安寧,一切遠離諸惡,就像肥沃的良田,精純的好種子。及時地灌溉滋潤,收穫不可限量,清凈的戒律是良田福地,精美的食物是種子。以正行來順應,最終會成就美好的果實,所以行佈施的人,想要具備各種美德。應當隨著智慧而行,各種果報自然具備,對於明行足的尊者,以正心盡力恭敬。種植各種善的根本,最終會獲得巨大的福利,如實地瞭解世間,就能具備正確的見解。具備了正確的見解,就能走上正道,具足而不斷進步,遠離一切污垢,最終到達涅槃之道,徹底脫離苦難的邊際,這就是具備各種美德。』 當時,世尊為毗舍離的商人們說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,就從座位起身離開了。 (九八一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: 『If you do not remember my banner, then you should remember the banner of the Ishana Deva; if you do not remember the banner of the Ishana Deva, then you should remember the banner of the Varuna Deva. When you remember these banners, fear will be eliminated.』 Thus, merchants! When you are in the wilderness and feel fear, you should remember the deeds of the Tathagata, the teachings of the Dharma, and the merits of the Sangha.」 At that time, the World Honored One spoke the verses of offering and rejoicing for the merchants of Vaishali: 『Offering to the Sangha of monks, providing food at the appropriate time, focusing the mind on contemplation, giving with right knowledge and mindfulness. Pure offerings are fields of good fortune, you all possess these, through these merits and benefits, you will obtain peace and happiness throughout the long night. When the mind has a desire, all benefits will be fulfilled, those with two legs and four legs will be safe, and travel on the roads will be safe. Night will be peaceful, and day will be peaceful, all will be free from evil, like fertile and good fields, with pure and good seeds. When watered at the right time, the harvest will be immeasurable, pure precepts are fields of good fortune, and fine food is the seed. By following the right path, ultimately wonderful fruits will be achieved, therefore those who practice giving, desire to possess all virtues. They should act according to wisdom, and all fruits will naturally be obtained, towards the Venerable One with perfect knowledge and conduct, with a righteous mind, offer utmost respect. Planting the roots of all good, ultimately great benefits will be obtained, truly understanding the world, one will possess right view. Possessing right view, one will walk the right path, fully progressing, free from all defilements, ultimately reaching the path of Nirvana, completely escaping the edge of suffering, this is called possessing all virtues.』 At that time, the World Honored One spoke various teachings of the Dharma to the merchants of Vaishali, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening them, then rose from his seat and departed. (981) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若比丘住于空閑、樹下、空舍,有時恐怖,心驚毛豎者,當念如來事及法事、僧事……」如前廣說。「念如來事、法事、僧事之時,恐怖即除。

「諸比丘!過去世時,釋提桓因與阿修羅共戰。爾時,帝釋語諸三十三天言:『諸仁者,諸天阿修羅共鬥戰時,若生恐怖,心驚毛豎者,汝當念我伏敵之幢。念彼幢時,恐怖即除。』如是。比丘!若於空閑、樹下、空舍而生恐怖,心驚毛豎者,當念如來:『如來、應、等正覺,乃至佛世尊。』彼當念時,恐怖即除。所以者何?彼天帝釋懷貪、恚、癡,于生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦不得解脫,有恐怖、畏懼、逃竄、避難,而猶告諸三十三天令念我摧伏敵幢,況復如來、應、等正覺,乃至佛世尊,離貪、恚、癡,解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,無諸恐怖、畏懼、逃避,而不能令其念如來者,除諸恐怖?」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九八二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住娑枳國安阇那林中。

爾時,世尊告尊者舍利弗:「我能於法略說、廣說,但知者難。」

尊者舍利弗白佛言:「唯愿世尊略說、廣說、法說,於法實有解知者

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果比丘住在空閑處、樹下、空屋裡,有時感到恐懼,心驚膽戰,應當憶念如來的事蹟、佛法的事蹟、僧團的事蹟……』如前面所詳細說的。『當憶念如來的事蹟、佛法的事蹟、僧團的事蹟時,恐懼就會消除。』 『諸位比丘!過去世時,釋提桓因與阿修羅交戰。當時,帝釋告訴三十三天諸神說:『諸位仁者,諸天與阿修羅交戰時,如果感到恐懼,心驚膽戰,你們應當憶念我摧伏敵人的旗幟。當憶念那旗幟時,恐懼就會消除。』就是這樣。比丘們!如果在空閑處、樹下、空屋裡感到恐懼,心驚膽戰,應當憶念如來:『如來、應供、正等覺,乃至佛世尊。』當憶念這些時,恐懼就會消除。這是為什麼呢?因為那位天帝釋懷有貪婪、嗔恨、愚癡,對於生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、苦惱無法解脫,有恐懼、畏懼、逃跑、躲避,卻還告訴三十三天諸神讓他們憶念我摧伏敵人的旗幟,更何況如來、應供、正等覺,乃至佛世尊,已經遠離貪婪、嗔恨、愚癡,解脫了生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、苦惱,沒有恐懼、畏懼、逃避,難道不能讓那些憶念如來的人,消除一切恐懼嗎?』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (九八二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在娑枳國安阇那樹林中。 當時,世尊告訴尊者舍利弗:『我能對佛法進行簡略的講解和詳細的講解,但真正理解的人很難。』 尊者舍利弗對佛陀說:『唯愿世尊簡略地講解、詳細地講解、依法講解,對於佛法確實有理解的人。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'If a bhikkhu dwells in a secluded place, under a tree, or in an empty dwelling, and sometimes feels fear, with his heart trembling and his hair standing on end, he should contemplate the Tathagata's deeds, the Dharma's deeds, and the Sangha's deeds...' as previously explained in detail. 'When contemplating the Tathagata's deeds, the Dharma's deeds, and the Sangha's deeds, fear will be eliminated.' 'Bhikkhus! In the past, Sakka, the lord of the devas, fought with the asuras. At that time, Sakka told the thirty-three devas: 'Noble ones, when the devas and asuras are fighting, if you feel fear, with your heart trembling and your hair standing on end, you should contemplate my banner that subdues the enemy. When contemplating that banner, fear will be eliminated.' It is like this. Bhikkhus! If you feel fear in a secluded place, under a tree, or in an empty dwelling, with your heart trembling and your hair standing on end, you should contemplate the Tathagata: 'Tathagata, worthy one, perfectly enlightened one, even the Buddha, the World Honored One.' When contemplating these, fear will be eliminated. Why is this so? Because that Sakka, the lord of the devas, is filled with greed, hatred, and delusion, and cannot be liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, and suffering. He has fear, dread, escape, and avoidance, yet he still tells the thirty-three devas to contemplate my banner that subdues the enemy. How much more so the Tathagata, worthy one, perfectly enlightened one, even the Buddha, the World Honored One, who has abandoned greed, hatred, and delusion, and is liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, and suffering, without fear, dread, or escape, can he not eliminate all fear for those who contemplate the Tathagata?' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (982) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Anjana Grove in the Sakya country. At that time, the World Honored One told the venerable Sariputta: 'I can explain the Dharma briefly and in detail, but it is difficult for those who truly understand it.' The venerable Sariputta said to the Buddha: 'May the World Honored One explain briefly, explain in detail, and explain according to the Dharma, for there are indeed those who understand the Dharma.'


。」

佛告舍利弗:「若有眾生於自識身及外境界一切相,無我、我所、我慢繫著使,乃至心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住者;於此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所、我慢使繫著,故我心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住。

「舍利弗!彼比丘於此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使,及心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住;於此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使,彼心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住。

「世間數差別,  安所遇不動,  寂靜離諸塵,  拔根無悕望,  已度三有海,  無復老死患

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴舍利弗:『如果眾生對於自身意識和外在世界的一切現象,沒有『我』、『我所』、『我慢』的執著和束縛,乃至達到心解脫和智慧解脫,在當下就能親身體驗並證悟,安住于這種境界;那麼,對於自身意識和外在世界的一切現象,因為沒有『我』、『我所』、『我慢』的執著和束縛,所以他的心解脫和智慧解脫,在當下就能親身體驗並證悟,安住于這種境界。』 『舍利弗!那位比丘對於自身意識和外在世界的一切現象,沒有『我』、『我所』的見解和『我慢』的執著和束縛,並且達到心解脫和智慧解脫,在當下就能親身體驗並證悟,安住于這種境界;對於自身意識和外在世界的一切現象,因為沒有『我』、『我所』的見解和『我慢』的執著和束縛,所以他的心解脫和智慧解脫,在當下就能親身體驗並證悟,安住于這種境界。』 『舍利弗!如果又有比丘對於自身意識和外在世界的一切現象,沒有『我』、『我所』的見解和『我慢』的執著和束縛,那麼他的心解脫和智慧解脫,在當下就能親身體驗並證悟,安住于這種境界。』 『舍利弗!如果又有比丘對於自身意識和外在世界的一切現象,沒有『我』、『我所』的見解和『我慢』的執著和束縛,那麼他的心解脫和智慧解脫,在當下就能親身體驗並證悟,安住于這種境界;對於自身意識和外在世界的一切現象,因為沒有『我』、『我所』的見解和『我慢』的執著和束縛,所以他的心解脫和智慧解脫,在當下就能親身體驗並證悟,安住于這種境界。舍利弗!這叫做比丘斷除了愛慾的束縛,消除了我慢,最終到達了苦的盡頭。』 『舍利弗!我還有一些話要說,來回答波羅延富鄰尼迦所提出的問題:』 『世間的種種差別,在何處才能遇到不動搖的境界,寂靜地遠離一切塵垢,連根拔除一切希望,已經度過三有之海,不再有衰老和死亡的憂患。』

English version The Buddha told Sariputra, 'If there are beings who, regarding their own consciousness and all phenomena of the external world, have no attachment or bondage to 'self,' 'what belongs to self,' or 'conceit,' and even attain liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, experiencing and realizing it for themselves in the present moment, abiding in that state; then, regarding their own consciousness and all phenomena of the external world, because they have no attachment or bondage to 'self,' 'what belongs to self,' or 'conceit,' their liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom is experienced and realized for themselves in the present moment, abiding in that state.' 'Sariputra! That bhikkhu, regarding his own consciousness and all phenomena of the external world, has no views of 'self' or 'what belongs to self,' nor any attachment or bondage to 'conceit,' and has attained liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, experiencing and realizing it for himself in the present moment, abiding in that state; regarding his own consciousness and all phenomena of the external world, because he has no views of 'self' or 'what belongs to self,' nor any attachment or bondage to 'conceit,' his liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom is experienced and realized for himself in the present moment, abiding in that state.' 'Sariputra! If there is another bhikkhu who, regarding his own consciousness and all phenomena of the external world, has no views of 'self' or 'what belongs to self,' nor any attachment or bondage to 'conceit,' then his liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom is experienced and realized for himself in the present moment, abiding in that state.' 'Sariputra! If there is another bhikkhu who, regarding his own consciousness and all phenomena of the external world, has no views of 'self' or 'what belongs to self,' nor any attachment or bondage to 'conceit,' then his liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom is experienced and realized for himself in the present moment, abiding in that state; regarding his own consciousness and all phenomena of the external world, because he has no views of 'self' or 'what belongs to self,' nor any attachment or bondage to 'conceit,' his liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom is experienced and realized for himself in the present moment, abiding in that state. Sariputra! This is called a bhikkhu who has broken the bonds of craving, eliminated conceit, and ultimately reached the end of suffering.' 'Sariputra! I have more to say in response to the question posed by Parayana Purnika:' 'Where does one encounter the unmoving amidst the world's distinctions, peaceful and free from all defilements, with all hopes uprooted, having crossed the ocean of the three existences, and no longer suffering from old age and death?'


。」

佛說是經已,尊者舍利弗聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,即從坐起,作禮而去。

(九八三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者阿難住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。獨一靜處。如是思惟:「或有一人作如是念,我於此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使,及心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住;於此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使,我當於彼心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住。」

爾時,尊者阿難晡時從禪覺,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我獨一靜處,作是思惟:『若有一人作如是言:「我此識身及外境界一切相……」乃至自知作證具足住。』」

佛告阿難:「如是!如是!有一人作如是念:『我此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使,及心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住。』阿難!彼比丘於此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使,及心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住;於此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使,及彼心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者舍利弗聽了佛陀的教誨,心生歡喜,隨之起身,向佛陀行禮后離去。

(九八三)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,尊者阿難也住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。他獨自一人在安靜的地方,這樣思考:『或許有人會這樣想,對於這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,我沒有『我』、『我所』的見解,沒有我慢的執著,並且已經達到心解脫和慧解脫,在當下就能親自證悟並安住;對於這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,我沒有『我』、『我所』的見解,沒有我慢的執著,我應當能夠達到心解脫和慧解脫,在當下就能親自證悟並安住。』

那時,尊者阿難在傍晚時分從禪定中醒來,來到世尊的住所,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我獨自一人在安靜的地方,這樣思考:『如果有人這樣說:「對於這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界……」乃至在當下就能親自證悟並安住。』

佛陀告訴阿難:『是的!是的!確實有人會這樣想:「對於這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,我沒有『我』、『我所』的見解,沒有我慢的執著,並且已經達到心解脫和慧解脫,在當下就能親自證悟並安住。」阿難!那位比丘對於這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,沒有『我』、『我所』的見解,沒有我慢的執著,並且已經達到心解脫和慧解脫,在當下就能親自證悟並安住;對於這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,沒有『我』、『我所』的見解,沒有我慢的執著,並且他應當能夠達到心解脫和慧解脫,在當下就能親自證悟並安住。』

English version Having spoken this discourse, the venerable Sariputta, delighted and approving of the Buddha's words, rose from his seat, paid homage to the Buddha, and departed.

(983)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

At that time, the venerable Ananda was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Alone in seclusion, he reflected thus: 'There might be someone who thinks, "Regarding this conscious body and all external phenomena, I have no view of 'I' or 'mine,' no conceit or attachment, and I have attained liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, realizing it for myself in this very life and abiding in it. Regarding this conscious body and all external phenomena, I have no view of 'I' or 'mine,' no conceit or attachment, and I shall attain liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, realizing it for myself in this very life and abiding in it."'

Then, the venerable Ananda, in the late afternoon, arose from his meditation and went to the Blessed One. He paid homage to the Blessed One, sat down to one side, and said to the Blessed One: 'Venerable sir, while alone in seclusion, I reflected thus: "If someone were to say, 'Regarding this conscious body and all external phenomena...' and so on, realizing it for themselves in this very life and abiding in it."'

The Buddha said to Ananda: 'So it is, Ananda! So it is! There is someone who thinks, "Regarding this conscious body and all external phenomena, I have no view of 'I' or 'mine,' no conceit or attachment, and I have attained liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, realizing it for myself in this very life and abiding in it." Ananda, that bhikkhu, regarding this conscious body and all external phenomena, has no view of 'I' or 'mine,' no conceit or attachment, and has attained liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, realizing it for himself in this very life and abiding in it. Regarding this conscious body and all external phenomena, he has no view of 'I' or 'mine,' no conceit or attachment, and he shall attain liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, realizing it for himself in this very life and abiding in it.'


「阿難!若複比丘於此識身及外境界一切相,乃至自知作證具足住,是名比丘斷愛縛結,慢無間等,究竟苦邊。

「阿難!我於此有餘說,答波羅延憂陀耶所問:

「斷于愛慾想,  憂苦亦俱離,  覺悟于睡眠,  滅除掉悔蓋,  舍貪恚清凈,  現前觀察法,  我說智解脫,  滅除無明闇。」

佛說是經已,尊者阿難聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,禮佛而去。

(九八四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說愛為網、為膠、為泉、為藕根。此等能為眾生障、為蓋、為膠、為守衛、為覆、為閉、為塞、為闇冥、為狗腸、為亂草、為絮,從此世至他世,從他世至此世,往來流轉,無不轉時。

「諸比丘!何等愛為網、為膠,乃至往來流馳,無不轉?謂:『有我故,有我欲、我爾、我有、我無、我異,我當、我不當、我當欲、我當爾、我當異,或我、或欲我、或爾我、或異我,或然、或欲然、或爾然、或異然。如是十八愛行從內起。』

「比丘!言有我,于諸所有言我欲、我爾,乃至十八愛行從外起,如是總說十八愛行

現代漢語譯本: 『阿難!如果比丘對於這個有意識的身體以及外在境界的一切現象,乃至自己覺悟並證得,具足安住,這樣的比丘就稱為斷除了愛慾的束縛,以及我慢等煩惱,最終到達苦的盡頭。』 『阿難!我在這裡還有一些話要說,來回答波羅延憂陀耶所問的問題:』 『斷除愛慾的念想,憂愁和痛苦也隨之遠離,覺悟于昏睡,滅除掉舉和悔恨的覆蓋,捨棄貪婪和嗔恨,保持清凈,當下觀察法理,我說這是智慧的解脫,能滅除無明的黑暗。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀頂禮后離去。 (九八四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說愛就像網、像膠、像泉水、像藕根。這些東西能成為眾生的障礙、覆蓋、膠著、守衛、遮蔽、封閉、堵塞、黑暗、狗腸、亂草、棉絮,使眾生從這一世到下一世,從下一世到這一世,往來流轉,沒有停止的時候。』 『諸位比丘!什麼樣的愛像網、像膠,乃至往來流轉,沒有停止的時候呢?那就是:『因為有我,所以有我的慾望、我的存在、我的擁有、我的虛無、我的不同,我將、我不將、我將慾望、我將存在、我將不同,或者是我、或者是慾望的我、或者是存在的我、或者是不同的我,或者是這樣、或者是想要這樣、或者是存在這樣、或者是不同這樣。』這樣十八種愛行從內心生起。 『比丘們!說到有我,對於所有說我的慾望、我的存在,乃至十八種愛行從外在生起,這樣總共說十八種愛行。

English version: 'Ananda! If a bhikkhu, regarding this conscious body and all phenomena of the external world, even to the point of self-realization and dwelling in completeness, such a bhikkhu is said to have broken the bonds of craving, as well as pride and other defilements, ultimately reaching the end of suffering.' 'Ananda! I have more to say here, to answer the questions asked by Parayana Udaya:' 'Having cut off the thought of craving and desire, sorrow and pain also depart, awakened from sleep, having eliminated the cover of agitation and remorse, abandoning greed and hatred, maintaining purity, observing the Dharma in the present moment, I say this is the liberation of wisdom, capable of eliminating the darkness of ignorance.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Ananda, having heard the Buddha's teachings, rejoiced and praised, bowed to the Buddha and departed. (984) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'I will now speak of craving as a net, as glue, as a spring, as a lotus root. These things can become obstacles, coverings, adhesions, guards, concealments, closures, blockages, darkness, dog intestines, tangled weeds, and cotton for beings, causing them to transmigrate from this life to the next, from the next life to this life, going back and forth, without ceasing.' 'Bhikkhus! What kind of craving is like a net, like glue, and so on, causing beings to transmigrate without ceasing? It is: 'Because there is a self, therefore there is my desire, my existence, my possession, my non-existence, my difference, I will, I will not, I will desire, I will exist, I will be different, or it is me, or it is the desiring me, or it is the existing me, or it is the different me, or it is so, or it is wanting to be so, or it is existing so, or it is different so.' Thus, eighteen kinds of craving arise from within. 'Bhikkhus! Speaking of having a self, regarding all that is said about my desire, my existence, and so on, eighteen kinds of craving arise from without, thus in total there are eighteen kinds of craving.'


「如是三十六愛行,或於過去起,或於未來起,或於現在起,如是總說百八愛行。」

「是名為愛、為網、為膠、為泉、為藕根,能為眾生障、為蓋、為膠、為守衛、為覆、為閉、為塞、為闇冥、為狗腸、為亂草、為絮,從此世至他世,從他世至此世,往來流馳,無不轉時。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九八五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有從愛生愛,從愛生恚;從恚生愛,從恚生恚。

「云何為從愛生愛?謂有一于眾生有喜、有愛、有念、有可意,他于彼有喜、有愛、有念、有可意隨行此,作是念:『我于彼眾生有喜、有愛、有念、有可意,他復于彼有喜、有愛、有念、有可意隨行故,我於他人復生于愛。』是名從愛生愛。

「云何從愛生恚?謂有一于眾生有喜、有愛、有念、有可意,而他于彼不喜、不愛、不念、不可意隨行此,作是念:『我于眾生有喜、有愛、有念、有可意,而他于彼不喜、不愛、不念、不可意隨行故,我於他而生瞋恚。』是名從愛生恚

現代漢語譯本 『像這樣有三十六種愛慾的行徑,它們可能在過去產生,可能在未來產生,也可能在現在產生,總的來說,共有百零八種愛慾的行徑。』 『這些被稱為愛、網、膠、泉、藕根,它們能成為眾生的障礙、覆蓋、粘著、守衛、遮蔽、封閉、堵塞、黑暗、狗腸、亂草、棉絮,使眾生從這一世到另一世,從另一世到這一世,往來流轉,沒有停止的時候。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (九八五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有從愛產生愛的情況,也有從愛產生嗔恚的情況;有從嗔恚產生愛的情況,也有從嗔恚產生嗔恚的情況。』 『什麼是從愛產生愛呢?就是說,如果一個人對某個眾生有歡喜、有愛戀、有思念、有喜愛,而對方也對他有歡喜、有愛戀、有思念、有喜愛,並且隨順他的心意,這個人就會想:『我對這個眾生有歡喜、有愛戀、有思念、有喜愛,而對方也對我如此,所以我對他人又產生了愛。』這叫做從愛產生愛。 『什麼是從愛產生嗔恚呢?就是說,如果一個人對某個眾生有歡喜、有愛戀、有思念、有喜愛,而對方卻對他沒有歡喜、沒有愛戀、沒有思念、沒有喜愛,並且不隨順他的心意,這個人就會想:『我對這個眾生有歡喜、有愛戀、有思念、有喜愛,而對方卻對我沒有歡喜、沒有愛戀、沒有思念、沒有喜愛,所以我對他產生了嗔恚。』這叫做從愛產生嗔恚。

English version 'Thus, there are thirty-six courses of craving, which may arise in the past, may arise in the future, or may arise in the present. In total, there are one hundred and eight courses of craving.' 'These are called craving, a net, glue, a spring, a lotus root. They can become an obstacle, a cover, an attachment, a guard, a concealment, a closure, a blockage, darkness, dog intestines, tangled grass, and fluff for sentient beings. They cause beings to flow and transmigrate from this life to another life, and from another life to this life, without ceasing.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (985) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There is love arising from love, and there is hatred arising from love; there is love arising from hatred, and there is hatred arising from hatred.' 'What is love arising from love? It is when one person has joy, love, affection, and fondness for a sentient being, and that being also has joy, love, affection, and fondness for them, and acts in accordance with their wishes. This person then thinks: 'I have joy, love, affection, and fondness for this being, and they also have the same for me, so I have love for others again.' This is called love arising from love.' 'What is hatred arising from love? It is when one person has joy, love, affection, and fondness for a sentient being, but that being does not have joy, love, affection, or fondness for them, and does not act in accordance with their wishes. This person then thinks: 'I have joy, love, affection, and fondness for this being, but they do not have joy, love, affection, or fondness for me, so I have hatred for them.' This is called hatred arising from love.'


「云何為從恚生愛?謂有一于眾生不喜、不愛、不念、不可意,他復于彼不喜、不愛、不念、不可意隨行故,我於他而生愛念,是名從恚生愛。

「云何從恚生恚?謂有一于眾生不喜、不愛、不念、不可意,而他于彼有喜、有愛、有念、有可意隨行此,作是念:『我于彼眾生不喜、不愛、不念、不可意,而他于彼有喜、有愛、有念、有可意隨行,我於他所問起瞋恚。』是名從恚生恚。

「若比丘離欲、惡不善法,有覺有觀,乃至初禪、第二、第三、第四禪具足住者,從愛生愛、從恚生恚、從恚生愛、從愛生恚已斷已知,斷其根本,如截多羅樹頭,無復生分,于未來世成不生法。

「若彼比丘盡諸有漏,無漏心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』當於爾時,不自舉,不起塵,不熾然,不熑彼。

「云何自舉?謂見色是我、色異我、我中色、色中我。受、想、行、識亦復如是,是名自舉。云何不自舉?謂不見色是我、色異我、我中色、色中我。受、想、行、識亦復如是,是名不自舉。云何還舉?謂于罵者還罵,瞋者還瞋,打者還打,觸者還觸,是名還舉

現代漢語譯本 『如何從嗔恨產生愛?』意思是說,如果一個人對某個眾生不喜、不愛、不念、不悅,而另一個人也對那個人不喜、不愛、不念、不悅,因此,我對那個人反而產生愛念,這叫做從嗔恨產生愛。 『如何從嗔恨產生嗔恨?』意思是說,如果一個人對某個眾生不喜、不愛、不念、不悅,而另一個人卻對那個人有喜、有愛、有念、有悅,這個人就會想:『我對那個人不喜、不愛、不念、不悅,而他卻對那個人有喜、有愛、有念、有悅,』因此我對那個人產生嗔恨。這叫做從嗔恨產生嗔恨。 如果比丘能夠遠離慾望、惡和不善的法,有覺有觀,乃至能夠具足安住于初禪、第二禪、第三禪、第四禪,那麼,從愛產生愛、從嗔恨產生嗔恨、從嗔恨產生愛、從愛產生嗔恨這些,他都已經斷除和知曉,並且斷除了它們的根本,就像砍斷了多羅樹的樹頭一樣,不再有生長的機會,在未來世成為不生之法。 如果那個比丘已經斷盡了一切有漏,達到無漏的心解脫和慧解脫,在現世自己知道並作證:『我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』當他達到這種境界時,就不會自我抬高,不會生起塵垢,不會熾熱,也不會使他人熾熱。 『什麼是自我抬高?』意思是說,認為色是我,色異於我,我在色中,色在我中。受、想、行、識也是如此,這叫做自我抬高。『什麼是不自我抬高?』意思是說,不認為色是我,色異於我,我在色中,色在我中。受、想、行、識也是如此,這叫做不自我抬高。『什麼是還擊?』意思是說,對於罵自己的人還罵,對於嗔恨自己的人還嗔恨,對於打自己的人還打,對於觸碰自己的人還觸碰,這叫做還擊。

English version 'How does love arise from hatred?' It means that if one person dislikes, does not love, does not think of, and is displeased with a certain being, and another person also dislikes, does not love, does not think of, and is displeased with that person, then I develop love for that person instead. This is called love arising from hatred. 'How does hatred arise from hatred?' It means that if one person dislikes, does not love, does not think of, and is displeased with a certain being, but another person likes, loves, thinks of, and is pleased with that person, then this person will think: 'I dislike, do not love, do not think of, and am displeased with that person, but he likes, loves, thinks of, and is pleased with that person,' and therefore I develop hatred towards that person. This is called hatred arising from hatred. If a bhikkhu can be detached from desires, evil, and unwholesome dharmas, with initial and sustained thought, and can fully abide in the first, second, third, and fourth jhanas, then the arising of love from love, hatred from hatred, love from hatred, and hatred from love, he has already cut off and known, and has cut off their roots, just like cutting off the top of a palmyra tree, with no chance of growing again, and in the future will become a non-arising dharma. If that bhikkhu has exhausted all outflows, attained the taintless liberation of mind and wisdom, and in this very life knows and testifies: 'My birth is exhausted, the pure conduct is established, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.' When he reaches this state, he will not exalt himself, will not stir up dust, will not be inflamed, and will not inflame others. 'What is self-exaltation?' It means to think that form is me, form is different from me, I am in form, and form is in me. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. This is called self-exaltation. 'What is non-self-exaltation?' It means not to think that form is me, form is different from me, I am in form, and form is in me. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. This is called non-self-exaltation. 'What is retaliation?' It means to retaliate with abuse to those who abuse you, with anger to those who are angry with you, with hitting to those who hit you, and with touching to those who touch you. This is called retaliation.


。云何不還舉?謂罵者不還罵,瞋者不還瞋,打者不還打,觸者不還觸,是名不還舉。

「云何起塵?謂有我、我欲,乃至十八種愛,是名起塵。云何不起塵?謂無我、無我欲,乃至十八愛不起,是名不起塵。

「云何熾然?謂有我所、我所欲,乃至外十八愛行,是名熾然。云何不熾然?謂無我所、無我所欲,乃至無外十八愛行,是名不熾然。

「云何熑彼?謂見我真實起,於我慢、我欲、我使不斷不知,是名熑彼。云何不熑彼?謂不見我真實,我慢、我欲、我使已斷已知,是名不熑彼。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九八六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有二事斷難持。何等為二?若俗人處非人處,于衣食、床臥、資生眾具,持彼斷者,是則難行。又,比丘非家出家,斷除貪愛,持彼斷者,亦甚難行。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「世間有二事,  持斷則難行,  是真諦所說,  等正覺所知。  在家財入出,  衣食等眾具,  世間貪愛樂,  持斷者甚難。  比丘已離俗,  信非家出家,  滅除于貪愛,  持斷亦難行

現代漢語譯本:『什麼是不還擊?』意思是說,被罵時不還罵,被嗔恨時不還嗔恨,被打時不還打,被觸碰時不還觸碰,這叫做不還擊。 『什麼是生起塵埃?』意思是說,有『我』、『我欲』,乃至十八種愛,這叫做生起塵埃。『什麼是不生起塵埃?』意思是說,沒有『我』、沒有『我欲』,乃至十八種愛不生起,這叫做不生起塵埃。 『什麼是熾熱?』意思是說,有『我所』、『我所欲』,乃至外在的十八種愛行,這叫做熾熱。『什麼是不熾熱?』意思是說,沒有『我所』、沒有『我所欲』,乃至沒有外在的十八種愛行,這叫做不熾熱。 『什麼是燒灼?』意思是說,見到『我』真實存在而生起,對於『我慢』、『我欲』、『我使』不能斷除和認知,這叫做燒灼。『什麼是不燒灼?』意思是說,不見『我』真實存在,『我慢』、『我欲』、『我使』已經斷除和認知,這叫做不燒灼。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (九八六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有兩件事難以斷除和堅持。哪兩件呢?如果俗人在家或在非人處,對於衣服、食物、床鋪、生活用品等,堅持斷除這些,這是很難做到的。另外,比丘離開家庭出家,斷除貪愛,堅持斷除這些,也是非常難做到的。』 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『世間有兩件事,堅持斷除很難行,這是真理所說的,是等正覺所知的。 在家中,財富有出入,衣服食物等生活用品,世間貪愛享樂,堅持斷除這些是很困難的。 比丘已經離開世俗,相信而出家,滅除貪愛,堅持斷除這些也很難做到。』

English version: 'What is not retaliating?' It means that when cursed, one does not curse back; when angered, one does not anger back; when hit, one does not hit back; when touched, one does not touch back. This is called not retaliating. 'What is arising of dust?' It means having 'I', 'I desire', and even the eighteen kinds of craving. This is called arising of dust. 'What is not arising of dust?' It means not having 'I', not having 'I desire', and even the eighteen kinds of craving not arising. This is called not arising of dust. 'What is being inflamed?' It means having 'mine', 'my desire', and even the eighteen external acts of craving. This is called being inflamed. 'What is not being inflamed?' It means not having 'mine', not having 'my desire', and even not having the eighteen external acts of craving. This is called not being inflamed. 'What is being scorched?' It means seeing 'I' as truly existing, and not being able to cut off and understand 'conceit of I', 'desire for I', and 'tendency of I'. This is called being scorched. 'What is not being scorched?' It means not seeing 'I' as truly existing, and 'conceit of I', 'desire for I', and 'tendency of I' having been cut off and understood. This is called not being scorched.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (986) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'There are two things that are difficult to abandon and uphold. What are the two? If a layperson, whether at home or in a non-human place, were to insist on abandoning clothing, food, bedding, and other necessities of life, this would be very difficult to do. Also, a monk who has left home, having abandoned greed and desire, and insists on abandoning these, is also very difficult to do.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'There are two things in the world, that are difficult to abandon and uphold, this is what the truth has spoken, and what the fully enlightened one knows. At home, wealth comes and goes, clothing, food, and other necessities of life, worldly greed and enjoyment, to insist on abandoning these is very difficult. A monk has already left the secular world, believing and leaving home, extinguishing greed and desire, to insist on abandoning these is also difficult to do.'

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我於二法依止多住。云何為二?于諸善法未曾知足,于斷未曾遠離,于善法不知足故,于諸斷法未曾遠離故,乃至肌消肉盡,筋連骨立,終不捨離精勤方便,不捨善法,不得未得,終不休息,未曾於劣心生歡喜,常樂增進,升上上道。如是精進住故,疾得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提等。比丘!當於二法依止多住,于諸善法不生足想;依于諸斷,未曾舍離,乃至肌消肉盡,筋連骨立,精勤方便,堪能修習善法不息。是故,比丘!于諸下劣,生歡喜想,當修上上升進多住。如是修習不久,當得速盡諸漏,無漏心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,釋提桓因形色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面。天身威力,光明遍照迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(九八七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我依止兩種法而多住。哪兩種呢?對於諸善法從不知足,對於斷除煩惱從不遠離。因為對善法不知足,對斷除煩惱不遠離,乃至身體消瘦,肌肉耗盡,只剩筋連著骨頭,也終不捨離精勤方便,不捨棄善法,未得的要得到,終不休息,不曾對低劣的心生歡喜,常樂於增進,向上提升。像這樣精進住,就能快速證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提等。比丘們!應當依止這兩種法而多住,對於諸善法不生滿足之想;依于斷除煩惱,從不捨離,乃至身體消瘦,肌肉耗盡,只剩筋連著骨頭,精勤方便,能夠修習善法不停止。因此,比丘們!對於低劣的,生歡喜之想,應當修習向上提升而多住。像這樣修習不久,就能快速漏盡諸煩惱,無煩惱的心解脫、智慧解脫,在現世自己知道作證:『我生死已盡,清凈的修行已建立,該做的已做完,自己知道不再有後世。』

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

當時,釋提桓因形色絕妙,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立。天身威力,光明遍照迦蘭陀竹園。

English version Having spoken this sutra, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly.

(987)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'I dwell much abiding in two things. What are the two? In regard to wholesome qualities, I have never known satisfaction, and in regard to abandoning, I have never been far removed. Because of not being satisfied with wholesome qualities, and because of not being far removed from abandoning, even if my flesh and blood were to waste away, and only my sinews and bones remained, I would never abandon diligent effort, nor abandon wholesome qualities. I would not rest until I had attained what had not been attained, and I would never rejoice in a lesser state of mind, but would always delight in progressing, ascending to higher and higher paths. By dwelling in such diligence, one quickly attains Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi, and so forth. Bhikkhus! You should dwell much abiding in these two things: do not think you are satisfied with wholesome qualities; and in regard to abandoning, never be far removed, even if your flesh and blood were to waste away, and only your sinews and bones remained, diligently striving, you should be capable of practicing wholesome qualities without ceasing. Therefore, bhikkhus! When you think you are satisfied with lesser things, you should practice ascending to higher and higher states. By practicing in this way, before long, you will quickly exhaust all defilements, and attain the taintless liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, realizing for yourselves in this very life: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, and there is no more coming to be.』

Having spoken this sutra, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha's words, practiced accordingly.

(988)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove, Kalandaka's Park, in Rajagaha.

Then, Sakka, the lord of the devas, with his exquisite form, came to the Buddha in the latter part of the night, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and stood to one side. The power of his heavenly body caused the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka to be illuminated with light.


時,釋提桓因白佛言:「世尊!世尊曾於隔界山石窟中說言:『若有沙門、婆羅門無上愛盡解脫、心善解脫,彼邊際、究竟邊際、離垢邊際、梵行畢竟。』云何為比丘邊際、究竟邊際、離垢邊際、梵行畢竟?」

佛告天帝釋:「謂比丘若所有受覺,若苦、若樂、若不苦不樂,彼諸受集、受滅、受味、受患、受出如實知;如實知已,觀察彼受無常,觀生滅、觀離欲、觀滅盡、觀舍;如是觀察已,則邊際,究竟邊際、離垢邊際、梵行畢竟。拘尸迦!是名比丘于正法、律邊際、究竟邊際、離垢邊際、梵行畢竟。」

乃至天帝釋聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(九八九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,尊者大目揵連住耆阇崛山,后夜起經行,見有光明遍照迦蘭陀竹園。見已,作是念:「今夜或有大力鬼神詣世尊所,故有此光明。」

時,尊者大目揵連晨朝往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我于昨暮后夜出房經行,見勝光明普照迦蘭陀竹園。見已,作是念:『有何大力鬼神詣世尊所,故有此光明?』」

佛告尊者大目揵連:「昨暮后夜,釋提桓因來詣我所,稽首作禮,退坐一面

現代漢語譯本: 當時,釋提桓因對佛說:『世尊!您曾在隔界山石窟中說過:『如果有沙門或婆羅門達到無上愛慾的止息解脫、心靈的完全解脫,他們就達到了邊際、究竟的邊際、離垢的邊際,梵行也就圓滿了。』那麼,什麼是比丘的邊際、究竟的邊際、離垢的邊際,梵行的圓滿呢?』 佛告訴天帝釋:『所謂比丘,如果對所有感受,無論是苦、樂還是不苦不樂,都能如實地知曉這些感受的生起、滅去、滋味、過患和出離;如實知曉后,觀察這些感受的無常,觀察它們的生滅、離欲、滅盡和捨棄;這樣觀察后,就達到了邊際、究竟的邊際、離垢的邊際,梵行也就圓滿了。拘尸迦!這就是比丘在正法和戒律中達到邊際、究竟的邊際、離垢的邊際,梵行圓滿的含義。』 乃至天帝釋聽聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。

(九八九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,尊者大目犍連住在耆阇崛山,在後半夜起身經行時,看到有光明遍照迦蘭陀竹園。看到后,他心想:『今晚或許有大力鬼神來到世尊那裡,所以才有這樣的光明。』 於是,尊者大目犍連在早晨前往佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我昨晚後半夜出房經行時,看到有殊勝的光明普照迦蘭陀竹園。看到后,我心想:『是什麼大力鬼神來到世尊這裡,所以才有這樣的光明?』 佛陀告訴尊者大目犍連:『昨晚後半夜,釋提桓因來到我這裡,向我頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。』

English version: Then, Śakra, the lord of the gods, said to the Buddha: 『Venerable Sir, you once said in the stone cave of the Separating Mountain: 『If there are ascetics or brahmins who have attained the unsurpassed cessation of craving, liberation of mind, they have reached the limit, the ultimate limit, the limit of purity, and their holy life is complete.』 What then is the limit, the ultimate limit, the limit of purity, and the completion of the holy life for a bhikkhu?』 The Buddha said to Śakra, the lord of the gods: 『A bhikkhu, with regard to all feelings, whether they are painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, truly understands the arising, ceasing, gratification, danger, and escape from these feelings. Having truly understood this, he observes the impermanence of these feelings, observing their arising and ceasing, detachment, extinction, and relinquishment. Having observed in this way, he reaches the limit, the ultimate limit, the limit of purity, and his holy life is complete. Kauśika, this is what is meant by a bhikkhu reaching the limit, the ultimate limit, the limit of purity, and the completion of the holy life in the Dharma and the Vinaya.』 Then, Śakra, the lord of the gods, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and approved, paid homage, and departed.

(989) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rājagṛha. At that time, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana was staying on Gṛdhrakūṭa Mountain. In the last watch of the night, he arose and was walking back and forth when he saw a light shining all over the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka. Having seen this, he thought: 『Tonight, perhaps some powerful spirit has come to the Venerable One, and that is why there is this light.』 Then, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana went to the Buddha in the morning, bowed down at the Buddha』s feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 『Venerable Sir, in the last watch of the night, I went out of my dwelling and was walking back and forth when I saw a great light shining all over the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka. Having seen this, I thought: 『What powerful spirit has come to the Venerable One, that there is this light?』 The Buddha said to the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana: 『In the last watch of the night, Śakra, the lord of the gods, came to me, paid homage, and sat down to one side.』

如上修多羅廣說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(九九〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者阿難晨朝著衣持缽,詣舍衛城,次第乞食,至鹿住優婆夷舍。

鹿住優婆夷遙見尊者阿難,疾敷床座,白言:「尊者阿難令坐。」

時,鹿住優婆夷稽首禮阿難足,退住一面,白尊者阿難:「云何言世尊知法?我父富蘭那先修梵行,離欲清凈,不著香花,遠諸凡鄙;叔父梨師達多不修梵行,然其知足。二俱命終,而今世尊俱記二人同生一趣,同一受生,同於後世得斯陀含,生兜率天,一來世間,究竟苦邊。云何?阿難!修梵行、不修梵行,同生一趣、同一受生、同其後世?」

阿難答言:「姊妹!汝今且停。汝不能知眾生世間根之差別,如來悉知眾生世間根之優劣。」如是說已,從坐起去。

時,尊者阿難還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。以鹿住優婆夷所說廣白世尊。

佛告阿難:「彼鹿住優婆夷云何能知眾生世間根之優劣?阿難!如來悉知眾生世間根之優劣。阿難!或有一犯戒,彼於心解脫、慧解脫不如實知,彼所起犯戒無餘滅、無餘沒、無餘欲盡

現代漢語譯本 如以上經文所廣說,他們歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。

(九九〇)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,尊者阿難早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,前往舍衛城,依次乞食,到了鹿住優婆夷的住所。

鹿住優婆夷遠遠地看見尊者阿難,趕緊鋪好床座,說道:『尊者阿難請坐。』

當時,鹿住優婆夷向阿難的腳行禮,退到一旁,對尊者阿難說:『為什麼說世尊知道法?我的父親富蘭那先前修行梵行,遠離慾望,清凈無染,不沾染香花,遠離一切凡俗;我的叔父梨師達多不修行梵行,但他知足。兩人都已去世,而現在世尊卻說他們兩人都生於同一去處,同一受生,在後世都將證得斯陀含果,生於兜率天,再來世間一次,最終達到苦的盡頭。為什麼呢?阿難!修行梵行和不修行梵行,卻能生於同一去處,同一受生,後世也相同?』

阿難回答說:『姊妹!你先停一下。你不能瞭解眾生世間根性的差別,如來完全瞭解眾生世間根性的優劣。』說完這些,就從座位上起身離開了。

當時,尊者阿難回到精舍,放下衣缽,洗完腳后,前往佛陀的住所,向佛陀的腳行禮,退坐在一旁。將鹿住優婆夷所說的話詳細地告訴了世尊。

佛陀告訴阿難:『那個鹿住優婆夷怎麼能瞭解眾生世間根性的優劣呢?阿難!如來完全瞭解眾生世間根性的優劣。阿難!有的人犯了戒,他對心解脫、慧解脫不能如實地瞭解,他所犯的戒沒有完全滅盡、沒有完全消失、沒有完全慾望盡滅。

English version As explained in the sutra above, they rejoiced and, after paying their respects, departed.

(990)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, the venerable Ananda, in the morning, having dressed and taken his bowl, went to Savatthi for alms, and arrived at the residence of the laywoman Deer-Dwelling.

The laywoman Deer-Dwelling, seeing the venerable Ananda from afar, quickly spread out a seat and said, 'Venerable Ananda, please be seated.'

Then, the laywoman Deer-Dwelling bowed at Ananda's feet, stepped back to one side, and said to the venerable Ananda, 'Why is it said that the Blessed One knows the Dharma? My father, Purana, previously practiced the holy life, was detached from desires, pure, not attached to perfumes and flowers, and far from all that is vulgar; my uncle, Rishidatta, did not practice the holy life, yet he was content. Both have passed away, and now the Blessed One says that both are reborn in the same realm, with the same rebirth, and in the future will attain the state of Sakadagami, be born in the Tusita heaven, come to this world once more, and finally reach the end of suffering. Why is this, Ananda? Those who practice the holy life and those who do not, are they reborn in the same realm, with the same rebirth, and the same future?'

Ananda replied, 'Sister, please stop for now. You cannot understand the differences in the faculties of beings in the world; the Tathagata fully understands the superior and inferior faculties of beings in the world.' Having said this, he rose from his seat and departed.

Then, the venerable Ananda returned to the monastery, put away his robe and bowl, washed his feet, and went to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He told the Blessed One in detail what the laywoman Deer-Dwelling had said.

The Buddha said to Ananda, 'How can that laywoman Deer-Dwelling understand the superior and inferior faculties of beings in the world? Ananda, the Tathagata fully understands the superior and inferior faculties of beings in the world. Ananda, there is one who breaks the precepts, and he does not truly know the liberation of mind and the liberation of wisdom; the precepts he has broken are not completely extinguished, not completely gone, not completely with the desire to end.'


。或有一犯戒,於心解脫、慧解脫如實知,彼所起犯戒無餘滅、無餘沒、無餘欲盡。于彼籌量者言:『此亦有如是法,彼亦有是法,此則應俱同生一趣、同一受生、同一後世。』彼如是籌量者,得長夜非義饒益苦。

「阿難!彼犯戒者,於心解脫、慧解脫不如實知,彼所起犯戒無餘滅、無餘沒、無餘欲盡。當知此人是退,非勝進,我說彼人為退分。阿難!有犯戒,彼於心解脫、慧解脫如實知,彼于所起犯戒無餘滅、無餘沒、無餘欲盡。當知是人勝進不退,我說彼人為勝進分。自非如來,此二有間,誰能悉知?是故,阿難!莫籌量人人而取,人善籌量人人而病。人籌量人人,自招其患。唯有如來能知人耳,如二犯戒,二持戒亦如是。彼於心解脫、慧解脫不如實知,彼所起持戒無餘滅。若掉動者,彼於心解脫、慧解脫不如實知,彼所起掉無餘滅。彼若瞋恨者,彼於心解脫、慧解脫不如實知,彼所起瞋恨無餘滅。若苦貪者,彼於心解脫、慧解脫如實知,彼所起苦貪無餘滅……」穢污清凈如上說,乃至「如來能知人人。

「阿難!鹿住優婆夷愚癡少智,而於如來一向說法心生狐疑

現代漢語譯本:如果有人犯了戒,卻能如實地知道自己的心解脫和智慧解脫,那麼他所犯的戒律就會完全消滅、完全消失、完全斷盡。如果有人以此來推測:『這個人有這樣的修行,那個人也有這樣的修行,他們應該一起投生到同一處、承受同樣的果報、擁有同樣的來世。』這樣推測的人,會長期遭受不合理、無益的痛苦。 阿難,如果有人犯了戒,卻不能如實地知道自己的心解脫和智慧解脫,那麼他所犯的戒律就不會完全消滅、完全消失、完全斷盡。應當知道這個人是退步的,不是進步的,我說這個人是退步的。阿難,如果有人犯了戒,卻能如實地知道自己的心解脫和智慧解脫,那麼他所犯的戒律就會完全消滅、完全消失、完全斷盡。應當知道這個人是進步的,不會退步,我說這個人是進步的。除了如來,誰能完全知道這兩種人之間的差別呢?所以,阿難,不要隨意評判他人,隨意評判他人會給自己帶來麻煩。評判他人,只會給自己招來禍患。只有如來才能真正瞭解他人。就像這兩種犯戒的人一樣,兩種持戒的人也是如此。如果有人持戒,卻不能如實地知道自己的心解脫和智慧解脫,那麼他所持的戒律就不會完全消滅。如果有人心神不定,卻不能如實地知道自己的心解脫和智慧解脫,那麼他所產生的心神不定就不會完全消滅。如果有人心懷嗔恨,卻不能如實地知道自己的心解脫和智慧解脫,那麼他所產生的嗔恨就不會完全消滅。如果有人貪戀苦樂,卻能如實地知道自己的心解脫和智慧解脫,那麼他所產生的貪戀苦樂就會完全消滅……』關於污穢和清凈的道理,就像上面所說的那樣,直到『只有如來才能瞭解他人』。 阿難,鹿住優婆夷愚癡少智,卻對如來所說的一貫教法心生懷疑。

English version: If someone violates a precept, but truly knows their liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, then the violation they committed will be completely extinguished, completely disappeared, and completely ended. If someone speculates based on this: 『This person has such practice, and that person also has such practice, they should be born together in the same place, experience the same consequences, and have the same future life.』 Such a person who speculates in this way will suffer long-term, unreasonable, and unbeneficial pain. Ananda, if someone violates a precept, but does not truly know their liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, then the violation they committed will not be completely extinguished, completely disappeared, or completely ended. Know that this person is regressing, not progressing, I say this person is on the path of regression. Ananda, if someone violates a precept, but truly knows their liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, then the violation they committed will be completely extinguished, completely disappeared, and completely ended. Know that this person is progressing, not regressing, I say this person is on the path of progress. Who, other than the Tathagata, can fully know the difference between these two types of people? Therefore, Ananda, do not casually judge others, casually judging others will bring trouble to yourself. Judging others will only bring misfortune upon yourself. Only the Tathagata can truly understand others. Just like these two types of people who violate precepts, the two types of people who uphold precepts are also the same. If someone upholds precepts, but does not truly know their liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, then the precepts they uphold will not be completely extinguished. If someone is restless, but does not truly know their liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, then the restlessness they generate will not be completely extinguished. If someone harbors hatred, but does not truly know their liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, then the hatred they generate will not be completely extinguished. If someone is attached to pleasure and pain, but truly knows their liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, then the attachment to pleasure and pain they generate will be completely extinguished...』 The principles regarding defilement and purity are as described above, up to 『Only the Tathagata can understand others.』 Ananda, the laywoman Deer-Dwelling is foolish and lacks wisdom, and yet she has doubts about the consistent teachings of the Tathagata.


。云何?阿難!如來所說,豈有二耶?」

阿難白佛:「不也,世尊!」

佛告阿難:「善哉!善哉!如來說法若有二者,無有是處。阿難!若富蘭那持戒,梨師達多亦同持戒者,所生之趣,富蘭那所不能知。梨師達多為生何趣?云何受生?云何後世?若梨師達多所成就智,富蘭那亦成就此智者,梨師達多亦不能知彼富蘭那當生何趣?云何受生?後世云何?阿難!彼富蘭那持戒勝,梨師達多智慧勝;彼俱命終,我說二人同生一趣,同一受生,後世亦同是斯陀含,生兜率天,一來生此究竟苦邊。彼二有間,自非如來,誰能得知?是故,阿難!莫量人人,量人人者,自生損減。唯有如來能知人耳。」

佛說此經已,尊者阿難聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(九九一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住釋氏彌城留利邑夏安居,有餘比丘于舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園夏安居。時,彼比丘于晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,次第至鹿住優婆夷舍,鹿住優婆夷遙見比丘來,疾敷床座,請比丘令坐,如上阿難修多羅說。

時,彼比丘語鹿住優婆夷:「姊妹且停!汝那得知眾生根之優劣。姊妹!唯有如來能知眾生根之優劣。」如是說已,從坐起去

現代漢語譯本:『怎麼樣?阿難!如來所說,難道會有兩種說法嗎?』 阿難回答佛說:『不是的,世尊!』 佛告訴阿難:『好啊!好啊!如來說法如果有兩種,那是不可能的。阿難!如果富蘭那持戒,梨師達多也同樣持戒,他們所投生的去處,富蘭那是不能知道的。梨師達多會投生到哪裡?如何受生?後世會怎樣?如果梨師達多所成就的智慧,富蘭那也成就了這種智慧,那麼梨師達多也不能知道富蘭那會投生到哪裡?如何受生?後世會怎樣?阿難!富蘭那持戒勝過梨師達多,梨師達多智慧勝過富蘭那;他們都去世后,我說這兩人會投生到同一個去處,同樣受生,後世也同樣是斯陀含,生到兜率天,一來此世就究竟苦的邊際。他們兩者之間的差別,如果不是如來,誰能知道呢?所以,阿難!不要去衡量別人,衡量別人的人,會給自己帶來損害。只有如來才能瞭解人。』 佛說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (九九一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在釋迦族的彌城留利邑安居,有其他比丘在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園安居。當時,那些比丘在早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食,依次來到鹿住優婆夷的住所,鹿住優婆夷遠遠看見比丘來了,趕緊鋪好床座,請比丘坐下,就像上面阿難經所說的那樣。 當時,那位比丘對鹿住優婆夷說:『姊妹請停一下!你又怎麼能知道眾生的根器優劣呢?姊妹!只有如來才能知道眾生的根器優劣。』說完這些,就從座位上起身離開了。

English version: 'What do you think, Ananda? Are there two ways in what the Tathagata speaks?' Ananda replied to the Buddha, 'No, Venerable One!' The Buddha told Ananda, 'Excellent! Excellent! If there were two ways in what the Tathagata teaches, that would be impossible. Ananda! If Purana observes the precepts, and Rishidatta also observes the precepts, the destination they are born into, Purana cannot know. Where will Rishidatta be born? How will he be born? What will his future be? If Rishidatta achieves wisdom, and Purana also achieves this wisdom, then Rishidatta also cannot know where Purana will be born? How will he be born? What will his future be? Ananda! Purana is superior in observing precepts, and Rishidatta is superior in wisdom; when they both die, I say that these two will be born in the same destination, be born in the same way, and in the future will both be Sakadagami, born in the Tushita Heaven, and after one more birth here, they will reach the end of suffering. The difference between these two, if not for the Tathagata, who can know? Therefore, Ananda! Do not measure people, those who measure people will bring harm to themselves. Only the Tathagata can understand people.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (991) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the city of Relivi in the Shakya clan during the rainy season retreat, and other monks were dwelling in the Jeta Grove in Sravasti during the rainy season retreat. At that time, those monks, in the morning, having put on their robes and taken their bowls, entered the city of Sravasti to beg for alms, and sequentially arrived at the residence of the laywoman Deer-Dwelling. The laywoman Deer-Dwelling, seeing the monks coming from afar, quickly spread out a seat and invited the monks to sit down, just as it was described in the Ananda Sutra above. At that time, that monk said to the laywoman Deer-Dwelling, 'Sister, please stop! How can you know the superiority or inferiority of beings' faculties? Sister! Only the Tathagata can know the superiority or inferiority of beings' faculties.' Having said this, he rose from his seat and left.


時,彼比丘三月夏安居訖,作衣竟,持衣缽,往詣彌城留利釋氏邑。到已,舉衣缽,洗足已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。以共鹿住優婆夷所論說事向佛廣說。

佛告比丘:「鹿住優婆夷云何能知世間眾生諸根優劣?唯有如來能知世間眾生諸根優劣耳。不離瞋恨、憍慢,時起貪法,不聽受法,不學多聞,於法不調伏見,不能時時起解脫心法。比丘!若復有一不離瞋慢,時起貪法,然彼聞法,修學多聞,于善調伏見,時時能起解脫心法。若思量彼,此有是法,彼有是法,此則同一趣、同一受生、同一後世;如是思量者,長得非義不饒益苦。比丘!若復彼人不離瞋慢,時時起貪法,亦不聽法,不習多聞,不調伏見,亦不時時得解脫心法,我說此人卑鄙下賤。比丘!若復彼人不離瞋慢,時時起貪法,然彼聞法,樂多聞,調伏諸見,時時能得解脫心法,我說是人第一勝妙。彼二有間,自非如來,誰能別知?是故,比丘!莫量人人,乃至如來能知優劣。

「比丘!複次,有一不離瞋慢,時時起口惡行……」余如上說。「比丘!複次,有一賢善,安樂同止,欣樂明智,修梵行者樂與同止,而彼不樂聞法,乃至不時時得心法解脫,當知彼人住賢善地,不能轉進。賢善地者,謂人、天趣

現代漢語譯本:當時,那位比丘結束了三個月的夏季安居,做完衣服后,拿著衣缽,前往彌城的留利釋氏村。到達后,放下衣缽,洗完腳,就去拜見佛陀,向佛陀行禮后,退坐在一旁。他把與鹿住優婆夷討論的事情詳細地告訴了佛陀。 佛陀告訴比丘:『鹿住優婆夷怎麼能知道世間眾生的根器優劣呢?只有如來才能知道世間眾生的根器優劣。如果一個人不能遠離嗔恨、驕慢,時常生起貪慾,不聽聞佛法,不學習多聞,對佛法沒有調伏的見解,不能時時生起解脫的心法。比丘,如果另一個人不能遠離嗔慢,時常生起貪慾,但他聽聞佛法,修習多聞,對善法有調伏的見解,時時能生起解脫的心法。如果思量他們,認為此人有這種法,彼人有那種法,他們就會有相同的去處、相同的受生、相同的後世;這樣思量的人,只會長期得到沒有意義、沒有利益的痛苦。比丘,如果那個人不能遠離嗔慢,時常生起貪慾,也不聽聞佛法,不學習多聞,不調伏見解,也不能時時得到解脫的心法,我說這個人是卑鄙的。比丘,如果那個人不能遠離嗔慢,時常生起貪慾,但他聽聞佛法,樂於多聞,調伏各種見解,時時能得到解脫的心法,我說這個人是第一殊勝的。他們兩者之間的差別,除了如來,誰能分辨呢?所以,比丘,不要衡量他人,只有如來才能知道優劣。』 『比丘,再者,有的人不能遠離嗔慢,時常生起口頭惡行……』其餘的如上面所說。『比丘,再者,有的人賢善,安樂地與人同住,喜歡明智,修習梵行的人樂於與他同住,但他不喜歡聽聞佛法,甚至不能時時得到心法解脫,應當知道這個人住在賢善的地位,不能再進步。賢善的地位,是指人、天道。』

English version: At that time, that bhikkhu, having completed the three-month summer retreat and finished making his robes, took his robes and bowl and went to the village of the Sakyas of Luli in the city of Mi. Having arrived, he put down his robes and bowl, washed his feet, and went to see the Buddha. After bowing at the Buddha's feet, he sat down to one side. He then told the Buddha in detail about the things he had discussed with the laywoman Deer-Dwelling. The Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'How can the laywoman Deer-Dwelling know the superiority or inferiority of the faculties of beings in the world? Only the Tathagata can know the superiority or inferiority of the faculties of beings in the world. If one does not abandon anger and pride, often gives rise to greed, does not listen to the Dharma, does not study extensively, does not have a tamed view of the Dharma, and cannot often give rise to the Dharma of liberation. Bhikkhu, if another person does not abandon anger and pride, often gives rise to greed, but he listens to the Dharma, studies extensively, has a tamed view of the good, and can often give rise to the Dharma of liberation. If one thinks about them, that this one has this Dharma, and that one has that Dharma, they will have the same destination, the same rebirth, and the same future life; one who thinks like this will only long suffer meaningless and unprofitable pain. Bhikkhu, if that person does not abandon anger and pride, often gives rise to greed, does not listen to the Dharma, does not study extensively, does not tame his views, and cannot often attain the Dharma of liberation, I say that this person is base. Bhikkhu, if that person does not abandon anger and pride, often gives rise to greed, but he listens to the Dharma, delights in extensive learning, tames his views, and can often attain the Dharma of liberation, I say that this person is the most excellent. Who can distinguish between these two, except for the Tathagata? Therefore, bhikkhu, do not measure people, only the Tathagata can know the superiority or inferiority.' 'Bhikkhu, furthermore, there is one who does not abandon anger and pride, often gives rise to evil speech...』 The rest is as said above. 'Bhikkhu, furthermore, there is one who is virtuous, lives peacefully with others, delights in wisdom, and those who practice the holy life are happy to live with him, but he does not like to listen to the Dharma, and cannot even often attain the liberation of the mind, you should know that this person dwells in a virtuous state, and cannot progress further. The virtuous state refers to the realms of humans and gods.'


。複次,有一其性賢善,同止安樂,欣樂梵行,以為伴侶,樂聞正法,學習多聞,善調伏見,時時能得解脫心法,當知彼人于賢善地能轉勝進,當知此人于正法流有所堪能。此二有間,自非如來,誰能別知?是故,比丘!莫量人人,量人人者,自招其患。唯有如來能知人耳。比丘!鹿住優婆夷愚癡少智……」如上修多羅廣說。

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,給孤獨長者來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!世間有幾種福田?」

佛告長者:「世間有二種福田。何等為二?學及無學。」即說偈言:

「世有學無學,  大會常延請,  正直心真實,  身口亦復然,  是即良福田,  施者獲大果。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有諸上座比丘隨佛左右,依止而住

現代漢語譯本:再者,如果有人天性賢良,與人和睦相處,樂於修行梵行,以此為伴侶,喜歡聽聞正法,勤奮學習,善於調伏自己的見解,時常能夠獲得解脫的心法,應當知道這個人在賢善的道路上能夠不斷進步,應當知道這個人有能力進入正法的河流。這兩種人之間的差別,如果不是如來,誰能夠分辨清楚呢?所以,比丘們!不要去衡量他人,衡量他人的人,會給自己招來禍患。只有如來才能真正瞭解人。比丘們!就像鹿住優婆夷那樣愚癡少智……』如上面的經文所廣泛闡述的。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (九九二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,給孤獨長者來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!世間有幾種福田?』 佛陀告訴長者:『世間有兩種福田。是哪兩種呢?有學和無學。』然後說了偈語: 『世間有學與無學, 大會常受邀請, 心地正直又真實, 身口行為也如此, 這就是良善的福田, 佈施者能獲得大果。』 佛陀說完這部經后,給孤獨長者聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 《雜阿含經》卷第三十五 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第三十六 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (九九三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一些上座比丘跟隨著佛陀左右,依止而住。

English version: Furthermore, if there is someone whose nature is virtuous and kind, who lives in harmony with others, who delights in practicing the holy life, taking it as a companion, who enjoys hearing the true Dharma, who studies diligently, who is skilled in subduing their views, and who can often attain the Dharma of liberation of mind, it should be known that this person can advance further on the path of virtue, and it should be known that this person is capable of entering the stream of the true Dharma. The difference between these two types of people, if not for the Tathagata, who could discern it? Therefore, monks! Do not measure people, for those who measure people bring suffering upon themselves. Only the Tathagata can truly know people. Monks! Like the laywoman Deer-Dwelling, who was foolish and of little wisdom...』 as extensively explained in the sutra above. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (992) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the elder Anathapindika came to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One! How many fields of merit are there in the world?' The Buddha told the elder, 'There are two kinds of fields of merit in the world. What are the two? Those who are in training and those who are beyond training.' Then he spoke a verse: 'In the world, there are those in training and those beyond training, Who are always invited to great assemblies, Whose minds are upright and truthful, And whose actions of body and speech are likewise, These are the good fields of merit, And those who give will receive great rewards.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the elder Anathapindika, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. The Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 35 Taisho Tripitaka, Volume 02, No. 0099, Samyukta Agama Sutra The Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 36 Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Guṇabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India (993) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there were several senior monks who stayed near the Buddha, relying on him.

時,尊者婆耆舍住舍衛國東園鹿子母講堂。時,尊者婆耆舍作是念:「今日世尊在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園,諸上座比丘隨佛左右,依止而住,我今當往至世尊所,各各說偈嘆諸上座比丘。」

作是念已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面,而說偈言:

「上上座比丘,  已斷諸貪慾,  超過諸世間,  一切之積聚,  深智少言說,  勇猛勤方便,  道德凈明顯,  我今稽首禮。  已伏諸魔怨,  遠離於群聚,  不為五欲縛,  常習於空閑,  清虛而寡慾,  我今稽首禮。  遮羅延勝族,  禪思不放逸,  內心樂正受,  清凈離塵穢,  辯慧顯深義,  是故稽首禮。  所得神通慧,  超諸神通力,  六神通眾中,  自在無所畏,  神通最勝故,  是故稽首禮。  于大千世界,  五道諸趣生,  乃至於梵世,  人天優劣想,  凈天眼悉見,  是故稽首禮

現代漢語譯本:所謂的尊者阿若憍陳如、尊者摩訶迦葉、尊者舍利弗、尊者摩訶目犍連、尊者阿那律陀、尊者二十億耳、尊者陀羅驃摩羅子、尊者婆那迦婆娑、尊者耶舍舍羅迦毗訶利、尊者富留那、尊者分陀檀尼迦。這些以及其他上座比丘都隨侍在佛陀左右,依止而住。 當時,尊者婆耆舍住在舍衛國東園的鹿子母講堂。尊者婆耆舍心想:『今天世尊在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園,各位上座比丘都隨侍在佛陀左右,依止而住,我今天應當前往世尊那裡,各自用偈頌讚嘆各位上座比丘。』 這樣想后,他就前往佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,然後退到一旁,用偈頌說道: 『各位上座比丘,已經斷除各種貪慾,超越世間一切的積聚,智慧深邃而少言寡語,勇猛精進且善用方便,道德清凈而顯明,我今天向他們頂禮。 已經降伏各種魔怨,遠離人群,不被五欲所束縛,常常修習空閑,清虛而寡慾,我今天向他們頂禮。 遮羅延勝族,禪思不放逸,內心安樂於正受,清凈而遠離塵垢,辯才智慧顯明深奧的道理,因此我向他們頂禮。 所獲得的神通智慧,超越各種神通力,在六神通眾中,自在而無所畏懼,因為神通最為殊勝,因此我向他們頂禮。 對於大千世界,五道各種趣向的眾生,乃至梵世,人天優劣的念想,都能用清凈的天眼全部看見,因此我向他們頂禮。』

English version: The venerable Ajñāta Kauṇḍinya, the venerable Mahākāśyapa, the venerable Śāriputra, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, the venerable Anuruddha, the venerable Twenty Billion Ears, the venerable Dharaṇīputra, the venerable Bhānaka Vāsa, the venerable Yaśas Śarākāpihāri, the venerable Pūrṇa, and the venerable Puṇḍarīka. These and other elder monks resided with the Buddha, relying on him. At that time, the venerable Vāgiśa was staying at the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the Eastern Garden of Śrāvastī. The venerable Vāgiśa thought: 'Today, the World Honored One is in the Jeta Grove of Anāthapiṇḍika in Śrāvastī, and the elder monks are residing with the Buddha, relying on him. Today, I should go to the World Honored One and praise each of the elder monks with verses.' Having thought this, he went to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and stood to one side, and spoke in verses: 'The elder monks, who have cut off all desires, have transcended all accumulations of the world, are profound in wisdom and speak little, are courageous and diligent in skillful means, their morality is pure and clear, I bow to them today. They have subdued all demonic enemies, are far from the crowd, are not bound by the five desires, often practice solitude, are pure and have few desires, I bow to them today. The noble lineage of Charayana, they meditate without negligence, their hearts are joyful in right reception, they are pure and free from defilement, their eloquence and wisdom reveal profound meanings, therefore I bow to them. The supernatural wisdom they have attained surpasses all supernatural powers, among the six supernatural powers, they are free and fearless, because their supernatural powers are most excellent, therefore I bow to them. Regarding the great thousand world, the beings of the five paths, even up to the Brahma world, the thoughts of superiority and inferiority of humans and gods, they can see all with their pure divine eye, therefore I bow to them.'


。  精勤方便力,  斷除諸愛集,  壞裂生死網,  心常樂正法,  離諸悕望想,  超度于彼岸,  清凈無塵穢,  是故稽首禮。  永離諸恐畏,  無依離財物,  知足度疑惑,  伏諸魔怨敵,  身念觀清凈,  是故稽首禮。  無有諸世間,  煩惱棘刺林,  結縛使永除,  三有因緣斷,  精練滅諸垢,  究竟明顯現,  于林離林去,  是故稽首禮。  無舍宅所依,  幻偽癡恚滅,  調伏諸愛喜,  出一切見處,  清凈無瑕穢,  是故稽首禮。  其心自在轉,  堅固不傾動,  智慧大德力,  難伏魔能伏,  斷除無明結,  是故稽首禮。  大人離闇冥,  寂滅牟尼尊。  正法離垢過,  光明自顯照,  照一切世界,  是故名為佛。  地神虛空天,  三十三天子,  光明悉映障,  是故名為佛。  度生死有邊,  超逾越群眾,  柔弱善調伏,  正覺第一覺。  斷一切結縛,  伏一切異道,  降一切魔怨,  得無上正覺。  離塵滅諸垢,  是故稽首禮。」

尊者婆耆舍偈讚歎時,諸比丘聞其所說,皆大歡喜!

(九九四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 以精進的方便之力,斷除一切愛慾的集結, 破裂生死的羅網,內心常常喜樂於正法, 遠離一切希求和妄想,超脫到達彼岸, 清凈沒有塵垢污穢,因此我稽首禮敬。 永遠脫離一切恐懼和畏懼,無所依傍,不貪戀財物, 知足而度過疑惑,降伏一切魔怨敵人, 身念觀清凈無染,因此我稽首禮敬。 沒有世間的煩惱荊棘叢林, 結縛和煩惱永遠消除,三有輪迴的因緣斷絕, 精煉而滅除一切垢染,最終顯現光明, 從林中離開,不再依戀,因此我稽首禮敬。 沒有房舍的依戀,虛幻、虛偽、愚癡、嗔恚都已滅盡, 調伏一切愛慾和喜好,超越一切見解的束縛, 清凈沒有瑕疵污穢,因此我稽首禮敬。 他的心自在運轉,堅固不可動搖, 擁有智慧和大德的力量,難以降伏的魔也能降伏, 斷除無明的束縛,因此我稽首禮敬。 偉大的聖人遠離黑暗,寂滅的牟尼尊者。 正法遠離垢染過失,光明自然顯現照耀, 照耀一切世界,因此被稱為佛。 地神、虛空天、三十三天的天子們, 光明都無法遮蔽,因此被稱為佛。 度過生死輪迴的邊際,超越一切眾生, 柔和善良,善於調伏,是正覺的第一覺悟者。 斷除一切結縛,降伏一切異端邪說, 降伏一切魔怨,獲得無上正等正覺。 遠離塵埃,滅除一切垢染,因此我稽首禮敬。 當尊者婆耆舍用偈頌讚嘆時,眾比丘聽聞他所說的,都非常歡喜! (九九四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version With diligent and skillful effort, cutting off all attachments and their accumulation, Breaking the net of birth and death, the mind always delights in the true Dharma, Free from all desires and delusions, crossing over to the other shore, Pure and without defilement, therefore I bow in reverence. Forever free from all fear and dread, without reliance, not attached to possessions, Content and passing beyond doubt, subduing all demonic enemies, With mindfulness of the body pure and undefiled, therefore I bow in reverence. Without the thorny forest of worldly afflictions, The bonds and defilements are forever eliminated, the causes of the three realms are severed, Refined and extinguishing all impurities, ultimately manifesting clearly, Leaving the forest, no longer attached, therefore I bow in reverence. Without the attachment of a dwelling, illusion, falsehood, ignorance, and hatred are extinguished, Subduing all desires and pleasures, transcending all views, Pure and without blemish or defilement, therefore I bow in reverence. His mind moves freely, firm and unshakeable, Possessing the power of wisdom and great virtue, able to subdue the unsubduable demons, Cutting off the bonds of ignorance, therefore I bow in reverence. The great sage is free from darkness, the Muni who has attained Nirvana. The true Dharma is free from defilement and fault, its light naturally shines forth, Illuminating all worlds, therefore he is called the Buddha. The earth gods, the gods of the sky, and the thirty-three gods, Cannot obscure his light, therefore he is called the Buddha. Having crossed the boundary of birth and death, surpassing all beings, Gentle and well-tamed, the first to awaken to perfect enlightenment. Cutting off all bonds, subduing all heretical paths, Conquering all demonic enemies, attaining unsurpassed perfect enlightenment. Free from dust, extinguishing all defilements, therefore I bow in reverence. When the Venerable Vangisa praised with verses, the monks, hearing what he said, were all very delighted! (994) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


時,尊者婆耆舍住舍衛國東園鹿子母講堂,疾病困篤,尊者富鄰尼為看病人,供給供養。

時,尊者婆耆舍語尊者富鄰尼言:「汝往詣世尊所,持我語白世尊言:『尊者婆耆舍稽首世尊足,問訊世尊少病少惱、起居輕利、得自安樂住不?』復作是言:『尊者婆耆舍住東園鹿子母講堂,疾病困篤,欲求見世尊,無力方便堪詣世尊。善哉!世尊!愿往至東園鹿子母講堂尊者婆耆舍所,哀愍故。』」

時,尊者富鄰尼即受其語,往詣世尊。稽首佛足,退坐一面。作是言:「尊者婆耆舍住東園鹿子母講堂,疾病困篤,愿見世尊,無力方便堪能奉見。善哉!世尊!愿往東園鹿子母講堂尊者婆耆舍所,為哀愍故。」

爾時,世尊默然而許。

時,尊者富鄰尼知佛許已,即從坐起,禮佛足而去。

世尊晡時從禪起,往詣尊者婆耆舍。尊者婆耆舍遙見世尊,憑床欲起。

爾時,世尊見尊者婆耆舍憑床欲起,語言:「婆耆舍!莫自輕動!」世尊即坐,問尊者婆耆舍:「汝所患苦,為平和可堪忍不?身諸苦痛為增為損?……」

如前焰摩迦修多羅廣說,乃至「我所苦患,轉覺其增,不覺其損。」

佛告婆耆舍:「我今問汝,隨意答我

現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者婆耆舍住在舍衛國東園的鹿子母講堂,身患重病,非常虛弱。尊者富鄰尼負責照顧他,提供飲食和照料。 尊者婆耆舍對尊者富鄰尼說:『你到世尊那裡去,替我向世尊稟告:尊者婆耆舍向世尊頂禮,問候世尊是否少病少惱,起居安好,是否安樂自在?』並告訴世尊:『尊者婆耆舍住在東園鹿子母講堂,身患重病,非常虛弱,想要見世尊,但沒有力氣和方便去拜見。希望世尊能夠慈悲,前往東園鹿子母講堂看望尊者婆耆舍。』 尊者富鄰尼聽從了他的話,前往世尊那裡。向佛頂禮后,退坐在一旁,說道:『尊者婆耆舍住在東園鹿子母講堂,身患重病,非常虛弱,想要見世尊,但沒有力氣和方便去拜見。希望世尊能夠慈悲,前往東園鹿子母講堂看望尊者婆耆舍。』 這時,世尊默許了。 尊者富鄰尼知道佛陀同意后,就從座位上起身,向佛陀頂禮后離開了。 世尊在下午從禪定中起身,前往尊者婆耆舍那裡。尊者婆耆舍遠遠地看見世尊,想要靠著床起身。 這時,世尊看見尊者婆耆舍想要靠著床起身,就說:『婆耆舍,不要勉強起身!』世尊隨即坐下,問尊者婆耆舍:『你所患的病痛,是否平和可以忍受?身體的各種痛苦是加重還是減輕?』 就像之前焰摩迦經中詳細描述的那樣,直到『我的病痛,感覺越來越嚴重,沒有減輕。』 佛陀告訴婆耆舍:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。』

English version: At that time, the venerable Vāgiśa was dwelling in the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the East Park of Śrāvastī, suffering from a severe illness and was very weak. The venerable Phullani was attending to him, providing food and care. The venerable Vāgiśa said to the venerable Phullani: 'Go to the Blessed One, and on my behalf, tell the Blessed One: Venerable Vāgiśa bows his head at the Blessed One's feet, and inquires whether the Blessed One is free from illness and trouble, whether his movements are light and easy, and whether he dwells in peace and happiness?' And also say: 'Venerable Vāgiśa is dwelling in the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the East Park, suffering from a severe illness and is very weak, and wishes to see the Blessed One, but has no strength or means to visit the Blessed One. May the Blessed One, out of compassion, please go to the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the East Park to see venerable Vāgiśa.' The venerable Phullani accepted his words and went to the Blessed One. After bowing at the Buddha's feet, she sat down to one side and said: 'Venerable Vāgiśa is dwelling in the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the East Park, suffering from a severe illness and is very weak, and wishes to see the Blessed One, but has no strength or means to visit the Blessed One. May the Blessed One, out of compassion, please go to the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the East Park to see venerable Vāgiśa.' At that time, the Blessed One remained silent in assent. When the venerable Phullani knew that the Buddha had agreed, she rose from her seat, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and departed. The Blessed One arose from meditation in the afternoon and went to the venerable Vāgiśa. The venerable Vāgiśa saw the Blessed One from afar and tried to rise from his bed. At that time, the Blessed One saw that the venerable Vāgiśa was trying to rise from his bed and said: 'Vāgiśa, do not exert yourself!' The Blessed One then sat down and asked the venerable Vāgiśa: 'Are your sufferings peaceful and bearable? Are the various pains in your body increasing or decreasing?' As it was described in detail in the previous Yamaka Sutta, up to 'My sufferings are feeling increasingly severe, and not decreasing.' The Buddha said to Vāgiśa: 'I will now ask you, answer me as you wish.'


。汝得心不染、不著、不污、解脫、離諸顛倒不?」

婆耆舍白佛言:「我心不染、不著、不污、解脫、離諸顛倒。」

佛告婆耆舍:「汝云何得心不染、不著、不污、解脫、離諸顛倒?」

婆耆舍白佛:「我過去眼識於色,心不顧念,于未來色不欣想,于現在色不著。我過去、未來、現在眼識於色,貪慾愛樂念于彼得盡,無慾、滅、沒、息、離、解脫;心解脫已,是故不染、不著、不污、離諸顛倒,正受而住。如是耳、鼻、舌、身、意識,過去於法,心不顧念,未來不欣,現在不著。過去、未來、現在法中,念欲愛盡,無慾、滅、沒、息、離、解脫;心解脫已,是故不染、不著、不污、解脫、離諸顛倒,正受而住。唯愿世尊今日最後饒益於我,聽我說偈。」

佛告婆耆舍:「宜知是時!」

尊者婆耆舍起,正身端坐,繫念在前,而說偈言:

「我今住佛前,  稽首恭敬禮,  於一切諸法,  悉皆得解脫。  善解諸法相,  深信樂正法,  世尊等正覺,  世尊為大師。  世尊降魔怨,  世尊大牟尼,  滅除一切使,  自度群生類。  世尊於世間,  諸法悉覺知,  世間悉無有,  知法過佛者

現代漢語譯本:'你的心是否不被污染、不執著、不污濁,是否解脫,遠離一切顛倒?' 婆耆舍回答佛陀說:'我的心不被污染、不執著、不污濁,已經解脫,遠離一切顛倒。' 佛陀告訴婆耆舍:'你是如何做到心不被污染、不執著、不污濁,解脫,遠離一切顛倒的呢?' 婆耆舍回答佛陀說:'我過去眼識接觸色塵時,心中不留戀;對於未來的色塵,不心生嚮往;對於現在的色塵,不執著。我過去、未來、現在眼識接觸色塵時,貪慾、愛戀的念頭都已斷盡,沒有慾望,滅盡,消失,止息,脫離,解脫;心已解脫,因此不被污染、不執著、不污濁,遠離一切顛倒,安住于正受之中。同樣,對於耳、鼻、舌、身、意識,過去接觸法塵時,心中不留戀;對於未來的法塵,不心生嚮往;對於現在的法塵,不執著。過去、未來、現在接觸法塵時,貪慾、愛戀的念頭都已斷盡,沒有慾望,滅盡,消失,止息,脫離,解脫;心已解脫,因此不被污染、不執著、不污濁,解脫,遠離一切顛倒,安住于正受之中。唯愿世尊今天最後一次利益我,允許我說偈。' 佛陀告訴婆耆舍:'現在是時候了!' 尊者婆耆舍起身,端正身體坐好,集中意念,然後說偈: '我今站在佛陀面前,稽首恭敬地禮拜,對於一切諸法,都已得到解脫。善於瞭解諸法的實相,深信並樂於正法,世尊是等正覺,世尊是我的大師。世尊降伏魔怨,世尊是大牟尼,滅除一切煩惱,自己度脫眾生。世尊在世間,對一切諸法都覺知,世間沒有誰,知法能超過佛陀。'

English version: 'Is your mind unblemished, unattached, unpolluted, liberated, and free from all delusions?' Vāgiśa replied to the Buddha, 'My mind is unblemished, unattached, unpolluted, liberated, and free from all delusions.' The Buddha said to Vāgiśa, 'How did you achieve a mind that is unblemished, unattached, unpolluted, liberated, and free from all delusions?' Vāgiśa replied to the Buddha, 'When my past eye-consciousness encountered forms, my mind did not dwell on them; for future forms, I do not yearn; for present forms, I am not attached. When my past, future, and present eye-consciousness encountered forms, the thoughts of greed and love for them were exhausted, without desire, extinguished, vanished, ceased, detached, and liberated; my mind is liberated, therefore it is unblemished, unattached, unpolluted, free from all delusions, and dwells in right reception. Likewise, for ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind-consciousness, when past dharmas were encountered, my mind did not dwell on them; for future dharmas, I do not yearn; for present dharmas, I am not attached. When past, future, and present dharmas were encountered, the thoughts of greed and love were exhausted, without desire, extinguished, vanished, ceased, detached, and liberated; my mind is liberated, therefore it is unblemished, unattached, unpolluted, liberated, and free from all delusions, and dwells in right reception. May the World-Honored One grant me a final benefit today and allow me to speak in verses.' The Buddha said to Vāgiśa, 'It is the right time!' The Venerable Vāgiśa rose, sat upright, focused his mind, and spoke these verses: 'I now stand before the Buddha, bowing my head in respectful salutation, for all dharmas, I have attained liberation. I understand the true nature of all dharmas, deeply believe in and delight in the Right Dharma, the World-Honored One is the Perfectly Enlightened One, the World-Honored One is my master. The World-Honored One subdues the demonic forces, the World-Honored One is the Great Sage, eliminating all defilements, liberating all sentient beings. The World-Honored One in the world, knows all dharmas, there is no one in the world, who knows the Dharma better than the Buddha.'


。  于諸天人中,  亦無與佛等,  是故我今日,  稽首大精進。  稽首士之上,  拔諸愛慾刺,  我今是最後,  得見於世尊。  稽首日種尊,  暮當般涅槃,  正智系正念,  於此朽壞身。  餘勢之所起,  從今夜永滅,  三界不復染,  入無餘涅槃。  苦受及樂受,  亦不苦不樂,  從觸因緣生,  於今悉永斷。  苦受及樂受,  亦不苦不樂,  從觸因緣生,  於今悉已知。  若內及與外,  苦樂等諸受,  于受無所著,  正智正繫心。  于初中最後,  諸聚無障礙,  諸聚既已斷,  了知受無餘。  明見真實者,  說九十一劫,  三劫中不空,  有大仙人尊。  余空無洲依,  唯畏恐怖劫,  當知大仙人,  乃復出於世。  安慰諸天人,  開眼離塵冥,  示悟諸眾生,  令覺一切苦。  苦苦及苦集,  超苦之寂滅,  賢聖八正道,  安隱趣涅槃。  世間難得者,  現前悉皆得,  生世得人身,  演說于正法。  隨己之所欲,  離垢求清凈,  專修其己利,  勿令空無果。  空過則生憂,  鄰于地獄苦,  于所說正法,  不樂不欲受

現代漢語譯本 在諸天人之中,也沒有誰能與佛陀相比。 因此我今天,稽首禮拜這位大精進者。 稽首禮拜這位超凡的聖者,他拔除了所有愛慾的毒刺。 我今生是最後一次,得見世尊。 稽首禮拜這位太陽種姓的尊者,他今晚將入涅槃。 以正智繫念,于這朽壞的身體。 餘勢所引起的(煩惱),將從今夜永遠滅盡。 不再受三界的污染,進入無餘涅槃。 苦受、樂受,以及不苦不樂受, 都是從觸的因緣而生,如今都將永遠斷絕。 苦受、樂受,以及不苦不樂受, 都是從觸的因緣而生,如今我都已完全瞭解。 無論是內在還是外在,苦、樂等各種感受, 對於這些感受都不執著,以正智繫念。 在初、中、最後,各種聚合都沒有障礙, 各種聚合既然已經斷除,了知感受已無剩餘。 明見真實的人,說九十一劫中, 有三劫不空過,有大仙人尊者出現。 其餘空無洲嶼可依,唯有恐怖劫, 應當知道大仙人,乃會再次出現於世。 安慰諸天人,開啟他們的眼睛,脫離塵世的黑暗。 開示覺悟眾生,令他們覺知一切苦。 苦苦、苦集,以及超越苦的寂滅, 賢聖的八正道,是安穩通往涅槃的道路。 世間難以得到的,現在都已得到。 生於世間得人身,演說正法。 隨自己所愿,遠離垢染,追求清凈。 專心修習自己的利益,不要讓生命空過而無果。 空過生命則會產生憂愁,接近地獄的痛苦。 對於所說的正法,不樂意也不想接受。

English version Among all gods and humans, there is none equal to the Buddha. Therefore, today I bow my head to the Greatly Diligent One. I bow my head to the one above all, who has pulled out the thorns of all desires. This is my last time in this life to see the World Honored One. I bow my head to the honored one of the solar lineage, who will enter Nirvana this evening. With right wisdom, I focus my mind on this decaying body. The remaining forces (of afflictions) will be extinguished forever from this night. No longer stained by the three realms, I enter Nirvana without remainder. Painful feelings, pleasant feelings, and neither painful nor pleasant feelings, All arise from the conditions of contact, and now they will all be cut off forever. Painful feelings, pleasant feelings, and neither painful nor pleasant feelings, All arise from the conditions of contact, and now I have fully understood them. Whether internal or external, painful, pleasant, and all other feelings, I am not attached to these feelings, and I focus my mind with right wisdom. In the beginning, middle, and end, there are no obstacles to the various aggregates, Since the various aggregates have been cut off, I know that no feelings remain. The one who clearly sees the truth says that in ninety-one kalpas, There are three kalpas that are not empty, and a great sage appears. The rest are empty and without islands to rely on, only the terrifying kalpa, It should be known that the great sage will appear in the world again. Comforting gods and humans, opening their eyes, and freeing them from the darkness of the world. Enlightening all beings, making them aware of all suffering. The suffering of suffering, the arising of suffering, and the cessation of suffering beyond suffering, The Noble Eightfold Path is the safe path to Nirvana. What is difficult to obtain in the world, now all have been obtained. Born into the world as a human, expounding the true Dharma. According to one's own wishes, leaving behind defilements and seeking purity. Focus on cultivating one's own benefit, do not let life pass by empty and fruitless. Passing life in vain will lead to sorrow, close to the suffering of hell. For the true Dharma that has been spoken, they are neither pleased nor willing to accept.


。  當久處生死,  輪迴息無期,  長夜懷憂惱,  如商人失財。  我今眾慶集,  無復生老死,  輪迴悉已斷,  不復重受生。  愛識河水流,  於今悉枯竭,  已拔陰根本,  連鎖不相續。  供養大師畢,  所作者已作,  重擔悉已舍,  有流悉已斷。  不復樂受生,  亦無死可惡,  正智正繫念,  唯待終時至。  念空野龍象,  六十雄猛獸,  一旦免枷鎖,  逸樂山林中。  婆耆舍亦然,  大師口生子,  厭舍于徒眾,  正念待時至。  今告于汝等,  諸來集會者,  聽我最後偈,  其義所饒益。  生者悉歸滅,  諸行無有常,  速生速死法,  何可久依怙。  是故強其志,  精勤方便求,  觀察有恐怖,  隨順牟尼道。  速盡此苦陰,  勿復增輪轉,  佛口所生子,  嘆說此偈已。  長辭于大眾,  婆耆舍涅槃,  彼以慈悲故,  說此無上偈。  尊者婆耆舍,  如來法生子,  垂心哀愍故,  說此無上偈。  然後般涅槃,  一切當敬禮。」

(九九五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 當長久地處於生死輪迴之中,這輪迴的終結遙遙無期, 漫漫長夜裡充滿憂愁煩惱,就像商人失去了財富一樣。 如今我聚集了眾多的慶賀,不再有生老病死, 輪迴已經完全斷絕,不會再重新受生。 愛慾和意識的河流,如今都已枯竭, 我已經拔除了陰暗的根本,連鎖的因果不再相續。 我已經完成了對大師的供養,該做的事情都已經做完, 所有的重擔都已放下,有漏的煩惱都已斷絕。 不再貪戀受生,也沒有死亡可以厭惡, 以正智和正念,只是等待最終時刻的到來。 就像空曠原野上強壯的龍象,六十頭雄猛的野獸, 一旦掙脫了枷鎖,便在山林中自由自在地嬉戲。 婆耆舍也是如此,作為大師口中所生的弟子, 厭倦了世俗的徒眾,以正念等待著時刻的到來。 現在告訴你們,所有前來的人們, 聽我最後的偈頌,其中的意義對你們有益。 生者最終都將歸於滅亡,一切事物都是無常的, 生滅迅速的法則,怎麼可以長久地依賴呢? 因此要堅定自己的意志,精勤方便地去尋求, 觀察這其中的恐怖,遵循牟尼的道路。 迅速地滅盡這痛苦的五蘊,不要再增加輪迴的轉動, 佛陀口中所生的弟子,讚歎說完這偈頌之後。 就此告別了大眾,婆耆舍進入了涅槃, 他因為慈悲的緣故,說了這無上的偈頌。 尊者婆耆舍,如來法所生的弟子, 因為垂憐哀憫的緣故,說了這無上的偈頌。 然後進入了涅槃,一切都應當敬禮。

(九九五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version When long dwelling in the cycle of birth and death, the end of this cycle is nowhere in sight, Long nights are filled with sorrow and distress, like a merchant who has lost his wealth. Now I have gathered many celebrations, no longer will there be birth, old age, sickness, and death, The cycle of rebirth has been completely severed, and I will not be reborn again. The rivers of desire and consciousness have now all dried up, I have uprooted the dark foundation, the chain of cause and effect no longer continues. I have completed the offerings to the master, what needed to be done has been done, All burdens have been laid down, and the defilements of outflows have been cut off. No longer do I crave rebirth, nor is there death to be abhorred, With right wisdom and right mindfulness, I merely await the final moment to arrive. Like the strong dragons and elephants in the open wilderness, sixty fierce beasts, Once freed from their shackles, they frolic freely in the mountains and forests. So too is Vāgiśa, as a disciple born from the master's mouth, Weary of worldly followers, with right mindfulness he awaits the moment to arrive. Now I tell you, all who have come here, Listen to my final verses, the meaning of which will benefit you. Those who are born will eventually return to extinction, all things are impermanent, The law of rapid birth and death, how can one rely on it for long? Therefore, strengthen your will, diligently and skillfully seek, Observe the terror within, and follow the path of the Muni. Quickly extinguish this painful aggregate of existence, do not increase the cycle of rebirth, The disciple born from the Buddha's mouth, after praising and speaking these verses. Thus bid farewell to the assembly, Vāgiśa entered Nirvana, He, out of compassion, spoke these supreme verses. Venerable Vāgiśa, a disciple born from the Dharma of the Tathagata, Out of pity and compassion, spoke these supreme verses. Then entered Nirvana, all should pay homage.

(Nine hundred and ninety-five)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


時,有一天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子而說偈問佛:

「阿練若比丘,  住于空閑處,  寂靜修梵行,  於一坐而食,  以何因緣故,  顏色特鮮明。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「於過去無憂,  未來不欣樂,  現在隨所得,  正智繫念持,  飯食繫念故,  顏色常鮮澤,  未來心馳想,  過去追憂悔,  愚癡火自煎,  如雹斷生草。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(九九六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有一天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子而說偈言:

「不欲起憍慢,  善自調其心,  未曾修寂默,  亦不入正受,  處林而放逸,  不度死彼岸

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退到一旁坐下。他身上的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀提問: 『住在空閑處的阿練若比丘,寂靜地修行梵行,一天只吃一頓飯,是什麼原因,使得他們的臉色特別鮮明?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『他們對過去沒有憂慮,對未來沒有貪求,對現在隨遇而安,用正念智慧來保持心念。因為吃飯時也保持正念,所以臉色常常鮮明光澤。如果心馳神往于未來,或者追悔過去,愚癡的心就像火一樣煎熬自己,如同冰雹摧毀新生的草一樣。』 當時,那位天子又用偈語說: 『我很久以前就見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後就消失不見了。 (九九六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退到一旁坐下。他身上的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子用偈語說: 『不想生起驕慢,善於調伏自己的心,沒有修習過寂靜,也沒有進入正定,身處林中卻放逸,這樣是無法度過生死彼岸的。』

English version: At that time, there was a celestial being, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then withdrew to sit on one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that celestial being asked the Buddha in verse: 'The Aranyaka monks who dwell in secluded places, practicing the Brahma-faring in silence, eating only one meal a day, what is the reason that their complexions are so particularly bright?' Then, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'They have no worries about the past, no craving for the future, they are content with the present as it comes, and they maintain their mindfulness with right wisdom. Because they maintain mindfulness even while eating, their complexions are always bright and radiant. If the mind wanders to the future, or regrets the past, the foolish heart torments itself like fire, just as hail destroys new grass.' At that time, that celestial being again spoke in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, all fear has passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love and affection.' At that time, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (996) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, there was a celestial being, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then withdrew to sit on one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that celestial being spoke in verse: 'Not wanting to give rise to arrogance, skillfully subduing one's own mind, not having practiced silence, nor entered into right concentration, being in the forest yet indulging in laxity, one cannot cross the shore of death.'


。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「已離於憍慢,  心常入正受,  明智善分別,  解脫一切縛,  獨一處閑林,  其心不放逸,  于彼死魔怨,  疾得度彼岸。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(九九七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有一天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「云何得晝夜,  功德常增長?  云何得生天,  唯愿為解說?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「種植園果故,  林樹蔭清涼,  橋船以濟度,  造作福德舍,  穿井供渴乏,  客舍給行旅,  如此之功德,  日夜常增長,  如法戒具足,  緣斯得生天。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『已經遠離了驕慢,內心常常進入正定, 明智地善於分別,解脫一切束縛, 獨自一人在寂靜的樹林中,他的心不放縱, 對於那死亡的魔怨,迅速地到達彼岸。』 當時,那位天子又說偈語道: 『我很久才見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃, 一切的恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。 (九九七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛的住所,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子用偈語問佛: 『怎樣才能使晝夜,功德常常增長? 怎樣才能得生天界,唯愿為我解說?』 當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『因為種植園林果樹,樹林能帶來清涼的樹蔭, 用橋樑船隻來渡人,建造提供福德的房屋, 挖井來供給乾渴的人,客舍來供給旅行的人, 像這樣的功德,日夜都會增長, 如法持戒圓滿,因此能夠得生天界。』 當時,那位天子又說偈語道: 『我很久才見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃, 一切的恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。

English version At that time, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'Having abandoned arrogance, the mind constantly enters into right concentration, Wise and skillful in discernment, liberated from all bonds, Alone in a secluded forest, his mind is not unrestrained, For that deathly demon's malice, he quickly reaches the other shore.' At that time, that celestial being again spoke in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fears have passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' At that time, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then vanished. (997) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, a celestial being, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that celestial being asked the Buddha in verse: 'How can one, day and night, constantly increase merit? How can one be born in the heavens? I beseech you to explain.' At that time, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'Because of planting gardens and fruit trees, the forests provide cool shade, Using bridges and boats to ferry people across, building houses that provide merit, Digging wells to supply the thirsty, and guesthouses to accommodate travelers, Such merits as these, increase day and night, With precepts fulfilled according to the Dharma, one is able to be born in the heavens.' At that time, that celestial being again spoke in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fears have passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' At that time, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then vanished.

「施何得大力?  施何得妙色?  施何得安樂?  施何得明目?  修習何等施,  名曰一切施?  今啟問世尊,  愿為分別說。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子名悉鞞梨,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子而說偈言:

「諸天及世人,  于食悉欣樂,  頗有諸世間,  福樂自隨逐

現代漢語譯本 (九九八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子,容貌極其美好,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁。他身上的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀請教: 『佈施什麼能獲得強大的力量?佈施什麼能獲得美好的容貌? 佈施什麼能獲得安樂?佈施什麼能獲得明亮的眼睛? 修習哪種佈施,被稱為一切佈施? 今天請教世尊,希望您能為我分別解說。』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『佈施食物能獲得強大的力量,佈施衣服能獲得美好的容貌, 佈施乘坐的工具能獲得安樂,佈施燈火能獲得明亮的眼睛, 提供空曠的館舍招待賓客,這被稱為一切佈施, 用佛法教誨他人,這就是佈施甘露。』 當時,那位天子又用偈語說: 『我很久以前就見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃, 一切恐懼都已消除,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳行禮,隨即消失不見。 (九九九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫悉鞞梨的天子,容貌極其美好,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁。他身上的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子用偈語說: 『諸天和世人,都喜歡食物, 難道世間還有什麼,福樂會自然跟隨?』

English version (Nine hundred and ninety-eight) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, a certain deva, of exceedingly beautiful appearance, came to the Buddha in the latter part of the night, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, that deva spoke to the Buddha in verse: 'By giving what does one obtain great strength? By giving what does one obtain beautiful appearance? By giving what does one obtain happiness? By giving what does one obtain clear vision? What kind of giving, when practiced, is called the giving of all? Now I ask the World Honored One, I wish you would explain it separately.' Then, the World Honored One answered in verse: 'By giving food, one obtains great strength; by giving clothing, one obtains beautiful appearance, By giving vehicles, one obtains happiness; by giving lamps, one obtains clear vision, Providing empty lodgings to await guests, this is called the giving of all, To teach others with the Dharma, this is the giving of ambrosia.' Then, that deva spoke again in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fear has been overcome, and he has forever transcended worldly love and affection.' Then, that deva, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and was pleased, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared. (Nine hundred and ninety-nine) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, a certain deva named Siddhapali, of exceedingly beautiful appearance, came to the Buddha in the latter part of the night, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, that deva spoke in verse: 'The devas and people of the world, all delight in food, Is there anything in the world, where happiness and blessings naturally follow?'


。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「凈信心惠施,  此世及後世,  隨其所至處,  福報常影隨。  是故當舍慳,  行無垢惠施,  施已心歡喜,  此世他世受。」

時,彼悉鞞梨天子白佛言:「奇哉!世尊!善說斯義:

「凈信心惠施,  此世及他世,  隨其所至處,  福報常影隨。  是故當舍慳,  行無垢惠施,  施已心歡喜,  此世他世受。」

悉鞞梨天子白佛言:「世尊!我自知過去世時曾為國王,名悉鞞梨,於四城門普施為福,于其城內有四交道,亦于其中佈施作福。

「時,有第一夫人來語我言:『大王大作福德,而我無力修諸福業。』我時告言:『城東門外佈施作福悉皆屬汝。』時,諸王子復來白我:『大王多作功德,夫人亦同,而我無力作諸福業,我今愿得依于大王少作功德。』我時答言:『城南門外所作施福悉皆屬汝。』時,有大臣復來白我:『今日大王多作功德,夫人、王子悉皆共之,而我無力作諸福業,愿依大王少有所作。』我時告言:『城西門外所作施福悉皆屬汝。』時,諸將士復來白我:『今日大王多作功德,夫人、太子及諸大臣悉皆共之,唯我無力能修福業,愿依大王得有所作。』我時答言:『城北門外所作施福悉皆屬汝

那時,世尊以偈語回答說: 『以清凈的信心佈施,無論此生還是來世, 福報都會像影子一樣緊隨其後。 因此應當捨棄慳吝,行無垢的佈施, 佈施之後心生歡喜,此生和來世都能享受福報。』 當時,悉鞞梨天子對佛說:『真是奇妙啊,世尊!您說得太好了: 『以清凈的信心佈施,無論此生還是來世, 福報都會像影子一樣緊隨其後。 因此應當捨棄慳吝,行無垢的佈施, 佈施之後心生歡喜,此生和來世都能享受福報。』 悉鞞梨天子對佛說:『世尊!我記得過去世曾為國王,名叫悉鞞梨,在四個城門普遍佈施以積福,在城內有四個十字路口,也在那裡佈施積福。 當時,第一夫人來對我說:『大王您做了很多功德,而我沒有能力修習福業。』我當時告訴她說:『城東門外佈施所作的福德都歸你。』當時,各位王子又來對我說:『大王您做了很多功德,夫人也一樣,而我們沒有能力修習福業,我們現在希望能夠依靠大王稍微做些功德。』我當時回答說:『城南門外所作的佈施福德都歸你們。』當時,有大臣又來對我說:『今天大王您做了很多功德,夫人、王子都參與了,而我沒有能力修習福業,希望能夠依靠大王稍微做些功德。』我當時告訴他說:『城西門外所作的佈施福德都歸你。』當時,各位將士又來對我說:『今天大王您做了很多功德,夫人、太子以及各位大臣都參與了,只有我們沒有能力修習福業,希望能夠依靠大王做些功德。』我當時回答說:『城北門外所作的佈施福德都歸你們。』

At that time, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'With pure faith, giving alms, in this life and the next, Wherever one goes, blessings follow like a shadow. Therefore, one should abandon stinginess, practice pure giving, Having given, the heart rejoices, and one receives blessings in this life and the next.' Then, the celestial being Sibi said to the Buddha: 'How marvelous, World Honored One! You have spoken so well: 'With pure faith, giving alms, in this life and the next, Wherever one goes, blessings follow like a shadow. Therefore, one should abandon stinginess, practice pure giving, Having given, the heart rejoices, and one receives blessings in this life and the next.' The celestial being Sibi said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I remember in a past life I was a king named Sibi, and I practiced giving alms at the four city gates to accumulate merit. Within the city, there were four crossroads, and I also practiced giving alms there to accumulate merit. At that time, the first queen came to me and said: 'Great King, you have accumulated much merit, but I have no ability to cultivate meritorious deeds.' I then told her: 'The merit from giving alms outside the east gate of the city all belongs to you.' Then, the princes came to me and said: 'Great King, you have accumulated much merit, and so has the queen, but we have no ability to cultivate meritorious deeds. We now wish to rely on the Great King to do a little merit.' I then replied: 'The merit from giving alms outside the south gate of the city all belongs to you.' Then, a minister came to me and said: 'Today, Great King, you have accumulated much merit, and the queen and princes have all participated, but I have no ability to cultivate meritorious deeds. I wish to rely on the Great King to do a little merit.' I then told him: 'The merit from giving alms outside the west gate of the city all belongs to you.' Then, the generals came to me and said: 'Today, Great King, you have accumulated much merit, and the queen, the crown prince, and the ministers have all participated, but we alone have no ability to cultivate meritorious deeds. We wish to rely on the Great King to do some merit.' I then replied: 'The merit from giving alms outside the north gate of the city all belongs to you.'


。』國中庶民復來白我:『今日大王多作功德,夫人、王子、大臣、諸將悉皆共之,唯我無力不能修福,愿依大王少有所作。』我時答言:『于其城內四交道頭所作施福悉屬汝等。』爾時,國王夫人、王子、大臣、將士、庶民悉皆惠施,作諸功德,我先所作惠施功德于茲則斷。

「時,我所使諸作福者,還至我所,為我作禮而白我言:『大王當知,諸修福處,夫人、王子、大臣、將士及諸庶民各據其處,行施作福,大王所施於茲則斷。』我時答言:『善男子!諸方邊國歲輸財物應入我者,分半入庫,分其半分,即于彼處惠施作福。』彼聞教旨,往詣邊國,集諸財物,半送于庫,半留于彼惠施作福。

「我先長夜如是惠施作福,長夜常得可愛、可念、可意福報,常受快樂,無有窮極。以斯福業及福果福報,悉皆入于大功德聚數。譬如五大河合為一流,所謂恒河、耶蒲那、薩羅由、伊羅跋提、摩醯。如是五河合為一流,無有人能量其河水百千萬億斗斛之數。彼大河水得為大水聚數,我亦如是,所作功德果、功德報不可稱量,悉得入于大功德聚數。」

爾時,悉鞞梨天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本: 『國內的百姓又來告訴我:『現在大王做了很多功德,夫人、王子、大臣、各位將領都參與其中,只有我們沒有能力修福,希望能夠依靠大王稍微做些功德。』我當時回答說:『在城內四通八達的道路口所做的佈施功德都屬於你們。』當時,國王的夫人、王子、大臣、將領、百姓都進行佈施,做各種功德,我先前所做的佈施功德就此中斷。 『當時,我派去負責做功德的人,回到我這裡,向我行禮並告訴我:『大王應當知道,各個修福的地方,夫人、王子、大臣、將領以及各位百姓都佔據了各自的位置,進行佈施做功德,大王所做的佈施就此中斷。』我當時回答說:『善男子!各個邊遠國家每年進貢的財物應該歸我的,分一半入國庫,分另一半,就在那裡進行佈施做功德。』他們聽了我的指示,前往邊遠國家,收集各種財物,一半送入國庫,一半留在那裡進行佈施做功德。 『我先前長久以來這樣佈施做功德,長久以來常常得到可愛、可念、可意的福報,常常享受快樂,沒有窮盡。憑藉這些福業以及福果福報,全部都進入到大功德的聚集之中。譬如五條大河匯合為一條河流,即恒河、耶蒲那河、薩羅由河、伊羅跋提河、摩醯河。這五條河匯合為一條河流,沒有人能夠測量出河水百千萬億斗斛的數量。這些大河的水成為大水聚集的數量,我也像這樣,所做的功德果、功德報不可稱量,全部都進入到大功德的聚集之中。』 當時,悉鞞梨天子聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,向佛的腳稽首,隨即消失不見。 (一〇〇〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: 'The common people of the kingdom came to me again and said, 『Today, Your Majesty is performing many meritorious deeds. The queen, princes, ministers, and generals are all participating, but we alone have no power to cultivate blessings. We wish to rely on Your Majesty to do a little something.』 I then replied, 『The meritorious deeds of giving performed at the crossroads within the city all belong to you.』 At that time, the queen, princes, ministers, generals, and common people all gave alms and performed various meritorious deeds, and my previous meritorious deeds of giving were thus discontinued. 'At that time, those whom I had sent to perform meritorious deeds returned to me, bowed to me, and said, 『Your Majesty should know that at all the places where blessings are being cultivated, the queen, princes, ministers, generals, and all the common people have each taken their places, giving alms and performing meritorious deeds. Your Majesty』s giving has thus been discontinued.』 I then replied, 『Good men! The wealth that the various border countries annually contribute to me should be divided in half, with half going into the treasury and the other half being used to give alms and perform meritorious deeds there.』 Upon hearing my instructions, they went to the border countries, collected various wealth, sent half to the treasury, and kept half there to give alms and perform meritorious deeds. 'I had previously given alms and performed meritorious deeds in this way for a long time, and for a long time, I always received the blessings of being loved, remembered, and cherished, and I always enjoyed happiness without end. Through these meritorious actions, meritorious results, and meritorious rewards, all of them entered into the accumulation of great merit. It is like five great rivers merging into one stream, namely the Ganges, the Yamuna, the Sarayu, the Irrawaddy, and the Mahi. When these five rivers merge into one stream, no one can measure the number of hundreds of millions of dou and hu of water in the river. The water of these great rivers becomes the accumulation of a great amount of water. I am also like this; the results of the meritorious deeds I have performed and the rewards of merit are immeasurable, and all of them enter into the accumulation of great merit.』 At that time, King Sibi heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted, bowed his head to the Buddha』s feet, and then disappeared. (1000) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika in Sravasti.

English version: At that time, there was a celestial being, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then sat down to one side. The light emanating from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that celestial being asked the Buddha in verse: 'What kind of person can be a good friend and teacher when traveling far away?' 'What kind of person can be a good friend and teacher in domestic life?' 'What kind of person can be a good friend and teacher who helps financially?' 'What kind of person can be a good friend and teacher for the next life?' Then, the World-Honored One answered in verse: 'A merchant's guide is a good friend and teacher when traveling far away,' 'A virtuous and wise wife is a good friend and teacher in domestic life,' 'Close relatives are good friends and teachers who help financially,' 'The merits one has cultivated are good friends and teachers for the next life.' At that time, that celestial being again spoke in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana,' 'All fears have been eliminated, and he has forever transcended worldly love and affection.' At that time, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1001) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, there was a celestial being, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then sat down to one side. The light emanating from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that celestial being spoke in verse: 'The impermanent fate takes away life, thus causing people to have short lives,' 'Being encroached upon by old age, there is no one to protect them.' 'Seeing old age, sickness, and death, people feel great fear,' 'Only by doing good deeds and accumulating merit can one dwell in the realm of ultimate bliss.'

English version At that time, that celestial being spoke in verse, asking the Buddha: 'Who binds the world, and who subdues it to release?' 'What kind of dharma is to be cut off, to be called attaining Nirvana?' Then, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'Desire binds the world, subduing desire leads to liberation,' 'One who cuts off craving is said to attain Nirvana.' At that time, that celestial being again spoke in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Parinirvana,' 'All fears have passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' Then, that celestial being, hearing what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then vanished.

At that time, a celestial being, with an exquisite appearance, came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.

At that time, that celestial being spoke in verse, asking the Buddha: 'Who conceals the world? Who covers the world?' 'Who binds sentient beings? Where is the world established?' Then, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'Old age conceals the world, death covers the world,' 'Desire binds sentient beings, dharma establishes the world.' At that time, that celestial being again spoke in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Parinirvana,' 'All fears have passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.'

At that time, there was a celestial being, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then withdrew to sit on one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove Anathapindika's Park.

Then, that celestial being asked the Buddha in verse:

'Who conceals this world, who is bound to the world, who is attached to beings, who erects the banner of beings?'

At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse:

'Ignorance conceals the world, the bonds of desire bind beings, attachment covers beings, and conceit is the banner of beings.'

Then, that celestial being again asked the Buddha in verse:

'Who is without concealment, who is without the bonds of desire, who has transcended attachment, who does not erect the banner of conceit?'

At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse:

'The Tathagata, the Perfectly Enlightened One, is liberated with the mind of right wisdom, is not concealed by ignorance, nor bound by the bonds of desire, has transcended attachment, and has destroyed the banner of conceit.'

Then, that celestial being again said in verse:

(1019)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, there was a Deva of extraordinary beauty, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that Deva spoke a verse to ask the Buddha: 'What is called the non-path? How do days and nights pass?' 'What defiles pure conduct? What binds the world?' Then, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'Greed is called the non-path, life passes day and night,' 'Women are the defilement of pure conduct, women bind the world.' 'Fervently cultivating pure conduct, having washed away all non-water.' At that time, that Deva spoke another verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, attained Nirvana,' 'All fear has been overcome, forever transcending worldly love.' At that time, that Deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared.

English version At that time, there was a celestial being of extraordinary beauty who came to the Buddha's place in the late night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, that celestial being asked the Buddha in verse: 'What dharma illuminates the world? What dharma is supreme? What is the one dharma that universally controls all beings?' At that time, the World Honored One answered in verse: 'Name illuminates the world, name is supreme in the world, only the dharma of name can control the world.' Then, that celestial being spoke again in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, attained Nirvana, all fear has passed, and I have forever transcended worldly love.' Then, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared.

English version (1022) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. Then, a certain deva, of exceedingly beautiful appearance, came to the Buddha in the latter part of the night, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, his body's radiance illuminating the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that deva spoke a verse to the Buddha, asking: 'How does one know a chariot? How does one know fire? How does one know a country? How does one know a wife?' Then, the World-Honored One replied in verse, saying: 'By seeing a banner, one knows a chariot; by seeing smoke, one knows fire; by seeing a king, one knows a country; by seeing a husband, one knows his wife.' Then, that deva spoke another verse, saying: 'Long ago, I saw the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana; all fear has passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love and affection.' Then, that deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and then vanished.

(1023) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, the Venerable Pokkhana was dwelling in the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the East Park, and was seriously ill. The Venerable Ananda went to the place where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and then stood to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! The Venerable Pokkhana is dwelling in the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the East Park, and is seriously ill. Many monks who are sick like this have died.'


。善哉!世尊!愿至東園鹿母講堂尊者叵求那所,以哀愍故!」

爾時,世尊默然而許,至日晡時,從禪覺,往詣東園鹿母講堂,至尊者叵求那房,敷座而坐,為尊者叵求那種種說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,從坐起去。

尊者叵求那,世尊去後,尋即命終。當命終時,諸根喜悅,顏貌清凈,膚色鮮白。

時,尊者阿難供養尊者叵求那舍利已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,卻住一面,白佛言:「世尊!尊者叵求那,世尊來后,尋便命終,臨命終時,諸根喜悅,膚色清凈,鮮白光澤。不審世尊!彼當生何趣?云何受生,後世云何?」

佛告阿難:「若有比丘先未病時,未斷五下分結,若覺病起,其身苦患,心不調適,生分微弱,得聞大師教授、教誡種種說法,彼聞法已,斷五下分結。阿難!是則大師教授設法福利。

現代漢語譯本:'太好了!世尊!愿您前往東園鹿母講堂尊者叵求那的住所,出於慈悲憐憫!' 那時,世尊默然應允。到了傍晚時分,從禪定中醒來,前往東園鹿母講堂,來到尊者叵求那的房間,鋪好座位坐下,為尊者叵求那宣講各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,便從座位起身離去。 尊者叵求那,世尊離開后,隨即就去世了。當他去世時,諸根喜悅,容貌清凈,膚色鮮白。 當時,尊者阿難供奉完尊者叵求那的舍利后,前往佛陀處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,稟告佛陀說:'世尊!尊者叵求那,世尊來過之後,隨即就去世了,臨終時,諸根喜悅,膚色清凈,鮮白光澤。不知世尊!他將往生何處?如何受生,後世如何?' 佛陀告訴阿難:'如果有比丘在未生病時,沒有斷除五下分結,如果感覺到疾病發作,身體痛苦,心緒不寧,生命力衰弱,能夠聽到大師的教導、教誡和各種佛法,他聽聞佛法后,斷除了五下分結。阿難!這就是大師教導和說法所帶來的利益。' '再者,阿難!如果有比丘在未生病時,沒有斷除五下分結,然後生病,身體遭受痛苦,生命力逐漸衰弱,沒有得到大師的教導、教誡和說法,但遇到了其他博學多聞、德高望重的修行者,接受他們的教導、教誡和說法,聽聞佛法后,斷除了五下分結。阿難!這被稱為接受教導、教誡和聽聞佛法所帶來的利益。'

English version: 'Excellent, O Blessed One! May you go to the dwelling of the venerable Pokkharana in the Deer Park of the Eastern Garden, out of compassion!' Then, the Blessed One silently consented. When it was evening, having arisen from meditation, he went to the Deer Park of the Eastern Garden, to the room of the venerable Pokkharana, spread out a seat and sat down, and for the venerable Pokkharana he gave various teachings, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening; having shown, instructed, illuminated, and gladdened, he rose from his seat and departed. The venerable Pokkharana, after the Blessed One had left, immediately passed away. When he was passing away, his faculties were joyful, his countenance was pure, and his skin was bright white. Then, the venerable Ananda, having made offerings to the relics of the venerable Pokkharana, went to the Buddha, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, stood to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, the venerable Pokkharana, after the Blessed One had come, immediately passed away, and at the time of his passing, his faculties were joyful, his skin was pure, bright, and radiant. I wonder, Venerable Sir, where will he be reborn? How will he be reborn, and what will his future be?' The Buddha said to Ananda: 'If there is a bhikkhu who, before being ill, has not severed the five lower fetters, and if he feels illness arising, his body suffers, his mind is not at ease, and his life force is weak, and he hears the master's teachings, instructions, and various discourses, and having heard the Dharma, he severs the five lower fetters. Ananda, this is the benefit of the master's teachings and discourses.' 'Furthermore, Ananda, if there is a bhikkhu who, before being ill, has not severed the five lower fetters, and then illness arises, his body suffers, his life force gradually weakens, and he does not receive the master's teachings, instructions, and discourses, but encounters other learned and virtuous practitioners of the holy life, and receives their teachings, instructions, and discourses, and having heard the Dharma, he severs the five lower fetters. Ananda, this is called the benefit of receiving teachings, instructions, and hearing the Dharma.'

If a bhikkhu, before being ill, has not severed the five lower fetters, and even when his vitality is weak, he does not hear the Master's teaching, instruction, and discourse, nor does he hear the teaching, instruction, and discourse of other learned and virtuous brahmacārins, yet he, through the Dharma he had previously received, in solitude, contemplates, weighs, and observes, and thus severs the five lower fetters. Ananda! This is called the benefit gained from contemplating and observing the Dharma previously heard.' 'Furthermore, Ananda!

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者阿濕波誓住東園鹿母講堂,身遭重病,極生苦患。尊者富鄰尼瞻視供給……如前跋迦梨修多羅廣說,謂說三受,乃至「轉增無損。」

佛告阿濕波誓:「汝莫變悔!」

阿濕波誓白佛言:「世尊!我實有變悔。」

佛告阿濕波誓:「汝得無破戒耶?」

阿濕波誓白佛言:「世尊!我不破戒。」

佛告阿濕波誓:「汝不破戒,何為變悔?」

阿濕波誓白佛言:「世尊!我先未病時,得身息樂正受多修習;我於今日不復能得入彼三昧,我作是思惟:『將無退失是三昧耶?』」

佛告阿濕波誓:「我今問汝,隨意答我

現代漢語譯本 『為何難以要求那位比丘不獲得諸根的喜悅,容貌清凈,面板光澤?難以要求那位比丘在未生病時,未斷除五下分結,他親自從大師那裡聽聞教導、教誡說法,斷除了五下分結,世尊為那位尊者叵求那授記為阿那含。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (一〇二四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者阿濕波誓住在東園鹿母講堂,身患重病,極其痛苦。尊者富鄰尼照料供養……如同之前跋迦梨經中詳細所說,即說三種感受,乃至『轉增無損。』 佛陀告訴阿濕波誓:『你不要懊悔!』 阿濕波誓對佛陀說:『世尊!我確實感到懊悔。』 佛陀告訴阿濕波誓:『你沒有破戒嗎?』 阿濕波誓對佛陀說:『世尊!我沒有破戒。』 佛陀告訴阿濕波誓:『你沒有破戒,為何懊悔?』 阿濕波誓對佛陀說:『世尊!我先前未生病時,能夠獲得身心安樂的正受,並多次修習;我今天卻不能再進入那種三昧,我這樣思惟:『難道會退失這種三昧嗎?』』 佛陀告訴阿濕波誓:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我』

English version 'Why is it difficult to expect that bhikkhu not to obtain joy in his senses, a pure appearance, and a radiant complexion? It is difficult to expect that bhikkhu, before being ill, not having severed the five lower fetters, having personally heard the teaching, instruction, and discourse from the Master, having severed the five lower fetters, the Blessed One declared that venerable Pokkharana was an Anagami.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and approved, and after paying homage, departed. (1024) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, venerable Assaji was staying in the Eastern Park, the Migaramata's mansion, suffering from a severe illness, experiencing great pain. Venerable Phagguna was attending to him and providing for him... as described in detail in the previous Bakkali Sutta, concerning the three feelings, up to 'increasing without loss.' The Buddha said to Assaji, 'Do not be remorseful!' Assaji said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, I am indeed remorseful.' The Buddha said to Assaji, 'Have you not broken any precepts?' Assaji said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, I have not broken any precepts.' The Buddha said to Assaji, 'If you have not broken any precepts, why are you remorseful?' Assaji said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, when I was not ill before, I was able to attain the blissful bodily pleasure of right concentration and practiced it often; today I am no longer able to enter that samadhi, and I think to myself, 'Could I be losing that samadhi?'' The Buddha said to Assaji, 'I will now ask you, answer me as you wish.'


。阿濕波誓,汝見色即是我、異我、相在不?」

阿濕波誓白佛言:「不也,世尊!」

復問:「汝見受、想、行、識是我、異我、相在不?」

阿濕波誓白佛言:「不也,世尊!」

佛告阿濕波誓:「汝既不見色是我、異我、相在,不見受、想、行、識是我、異我、相在,何故變悔?」

阿濕波誓白佛言:「世尊!不正思惟故。」

佛告阿濕波誓:「若沙門、婆羅門三昧堅固,三昧平等,若不得入彼三昧,不應作念:『我於三昧退減。』若復聖弟子不見色是我、異我、相在,不見受、想、行、識是我、異我、相在,但當作是覺知:『貪慾永盡無餘,瞋恚、愚癡永盡無餘。』貪、恚、癡永盡無餘已,一切漏盡,無漏心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

佛說是法時,尊者阿濕波誓不起諸漏,心得解脫,歡喜踴悅。歡喜踴悅故,身病即除。

佛說此經,令尊者阿濕波誓歡喜隨喜已,從坐起而去。

差摩迦修多羅如五受陰處說。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:佛陀問阿濕波誓:『你認為色(物質)是我、與我不同、還是存在於我之中?』 阿濕波誓回答佛陀說:『不是的,世尊!』 佛陀又問:『你認為感受、思想、行為、意識是我、與我不同、還是存在於我之中?』 阿濕波誓回答佛陀說:『不是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴阿濕波誓:『既然你認為色不是我、與我不同、也不存在於我之中,感受、思想、行為、意識也不是我、與我不同、也不存在於我之中,那你為何感到懊悔?』 阿濕波誓回答佛陀說:『世尊,是因為我沒有正確地思考。』 佛陀告訴阿濕波誓:『如果沙門或婆羅門的三昧(禪定)堅定,三昧平等,如果他們無法進入那種三昧,不應該想:『我的三昧退步了。』如果聖弟子認為色不是我、與我不同、也不存在於我之中,感受、思想、行為、意識也不是我、與我不同、也不存在於我之中,他們應該這樣覺知:『貪慾已經完全斷絕,沒有剩餘;嗔恨和愚癡也已經完全斷絕,沒有剩餘。』當貪、嗔、癡完全斷絕,沒有剩餘時,一切煩惱都已斷盡,無煩惱的心得到解脫,智慧得到解脫,在今生就能親自證悟:『我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來生。』 佛陀宣說此法時,尊者阿濕波誓不再有任何煩惱,心得到解脫,感到歡喜和喜悅。因為歡喜和喜悅,他的身體疾病也立即消失。 佛陀說完這部經,讓尊者阿濕波誓歡喜隨喜后,就從座位起身離開了。 差摩迦修多羅的說法如同五受陰之處所說。 (一〇二五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: The Buddha asked Ashvajit, 'Do you see form as self, different from self, or existing within self?' Ashvajit replied to the Buddha, 'No, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha further asked, 'Do you see feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness as self, different from self, or existing within self?' Ashvajit replied to the Buddha, 'No, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha told Ashvajit, 'Since you do not see form as self, different from self, or existing within self, and you do not see feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness as self, different from self, or existing within self, why do you feel remorse?' Ashvajit replied to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, it is because of incorrect thinking.' The Buddha told Ashvajit, 'If the samadhi (meditative concentration) of a shramana or brahmin is firm and balanced, and if they cannot enter that samadhi, they should not think, 『My samadhi has declined.』 If a noble disciple does not see form as self, different from self, or existing within self, and does not see feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness as self, different from self, or existing within self, they should be aware that 『Greed is completely extinguished without remainder; hatred and delusion are also completely extinguished without remainder.』 When greed, hatred, and delusion are completely extinguished without remainder, all defilements are exhausted, the mind is liberated from defilements, wisdom is liberated, and they realize for themselves in this very life: 『Birth is exhausted, the holy life is lived, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』 When the Buddha taught this Dharma, Venerable Ashvajit was free from all defilements, his mind was liberated, and he felt joy and delight. Because of this joy and delight, his physical illness immediately disappeared. After the Buddha finished teaching this sutra, and after Venerable Ashvajit rejoiced and was pleased, he rose from his seat and departed. The Chammaka Sutta is as described in the section on the five aggregates of clinging. (1025) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


。時,有異比丘年少新學,於此法、律出家未久,少知識,獨一客旅,無人供給,住邊聚落客僧房中,疾病困篤。

時,有眾多比丘詣佛所,稽首禮足,卻坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!有一比丘年少新學,乃至疾病困篤,住邊聚落客僧房中。有是病比丘多死無活。善哉!世尊!往彼住處,以哀愍故!」

爾時,世尊默然而許。即日晡時從禪覺,至彼住處。

彼病比丘遙見世尊,扶床欲起。

佛告比丘:「息臥勿起!云何?比丘!苦患寧可忍不?……」如前差摩迦修多羅廣說如是三受,乃至「病苦但增不損。」

佛告病比丘:「我今問汝,隨意答我。汝得無變悔耶?」

病比丘白佛:「實有變悔。世尊!」

佛告病比丘:「汝得無犯戒耶?」

病比丘白佛言:「世尊!實不犯戒。」

佛告病比丘:「汝若不犯戒,何為變悔?」

病比丘白佛:「世尊!我年幼稚出家未久,於過人法勝妙知見未有所得,我作是念:『命終之時,知生何處?』故生變悔。」

佛告比丘:「我今問汝,隨意答我

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位年輕新學的比丘,對於佛法和戒律出家不久,見識淺薄,孤身一人,無人供養,住在偏遠村落的客僧房中,身患重病,病情危急。 當時,有許多比丘來到佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!有一位年輕新學的比丘,乃至身患重病,病情危急,住在偏遠村落的客僧房中。這位生病的比丘很可能死去而無法存活。善哉!世尊!請您前往他的住處,出於慈悲憐憫的緣故!』 這時,世尊默然應允。當天傍晚,世尊從禪定中醒來,前往那位比丘的住處。 那位生病的比丘遠遠地看見世尊,便想扶著床起身。 佛陀告訴比丘:『躺著休息,不要起來!怎麼樣?比丘!你的痛苦還能忍受嗎?』……如同之前《差摩迦經》中詳細講述的那樣,關於三種感受,乃至『病痛只會增加不會減少』。 佛陀告訴生病的比丘:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。你是否感到後悔?』 生病的比丘對佛陀說:『確實感到後悔,世尊!』 佛陀告訴生病的比丘:『你是否犯了戒律?』 生病的比丘對佛陀說:『世尊!我確實沒有犯戒。』 佛陀告訴生病的比丘:『你如果沒有犯戒,為何感到後悔?』 生病的比丘對佛陀說:『世尊!我年紀幼小,出家不久,對於超越常人的殊勝智慧和見解還沒有獲得,我這樣想:『臨終的時候,會知道自己將往生何處嗎?』因此感到後悔。』 佛陀告訴比丘:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。』

English version: At that time, there was a young, newly ordained bhikkhu who had not been a monk for long in the Dharma and Vinaya, had little knowledge, was alone, had no one to provide for him, and was staying in a guest monk's room in a remote village, seriously ill and in critical condition. At that time, many bhikkhus went to where the Buddha was, bowed their heads to his feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir! There is a young, newly ordained bhikkhu, who is seriously ill and in critical condition, staying in a guest monk's room in a remote village. This sick bhikkhu is likely to die and not survive. It would be good, Venerable Sir! If you would go to his dwelling place, out of compassion!' At that time, the Buddha silently agreed. That evening, the Buddha awoke from meditation and went to the bhikkhu's dwelling place. The sick bhikkhu saw the Buddha from afar and tried to get up, supporting himself on the bed. The Buddha said to the bhikkhu: 'Rest and do not get up! How is it? Bhikkhu! Is your suffering bearable?'... As previously explained in detail in the 'Chammaka Sutta', regarding the three feelings, even 'the pain will only increase and not decrease'. The Buddha said to the sick bhikkhu: 'I will now ask you, answer me as you wish. Do you have any remorse?' The sick bhikkhu said to the Buddha: 'Indeed, I have remorse, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha said to the sick bhikkhu: 'Have you broken any precepts?' The sick bhikkhu said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir! I have not broken any precepts.' The Buddha said to the sick bhikkhu: 'If you have not broken any precepts, why do you have remorse?' The sick bhikkhu said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir! I am young and have not been ordained for long, and I have not yet attained any superior wisdom or insight beyond ordinary people. I think: 'When I die, will I know where I will be reborn?' Therefore, I feel remorse.' The Buddha said to the bhikkhu: 'I will now ask you, answer me as you wish.'


。云何?比丘!有眼故有眼識耶?」

比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」

復問:「比丘!于意云何?有眼識故有眼觸、眼觸因緣生內受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂耶?」

比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說。

「云何?比丘!若無眼則無眼識耶?」

比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」

復問:「比丘!若無眼識則無眼觸耶?若無眼觸,則無眼觸因緣生內受,若苦、若樂、不苦不樂耶?」

比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦如是說。

「是故,比丘!當善思惟如是法,得善命終,後世亦善。」爾時,世尊為病比丘種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,從坐起去。

時,病比丘,世尊去後,尋即命終。臨命終時,諸根喜悅,顏貌清凈,膚色鮮白。

時,眾多比丘詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!彼年少比丘疾病困篤,尊者今已命終。當命終時,諸根喜悅,顏貌清凈,膚色鮮白。云何?世尊!如是比丘當生何處?云何受生?後世云何?」

佛告諸比丘:「彼命過比丘是真寶物,聞我說法,分明解了,於法無畏,得般涅槃,汝等但當供養舍利。」

世尊爾時為彼比丘受第一記

現代漢語譯本:『比丘,這是怎麼回事?』『因為有眼睛,所以才有眼識嗎?』 比丘回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀又問:『比丘,你認為如何?因為有眼識,所以才有眼觸嗎?因為有眼觸的因緣,所以才產生內在的感受,無論是苦、樂,還是不苦不樂嗎?』 比丘回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是這樣說的。 『比丘,這是怎麼回事?如果沒有眼睛,就沒有眼識嗎?』 比丘回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀又問:『比丘,如果沒有眼識,就沒有眼觸嗎?如果沒有眼觸,就沒有因眼觸的因緣而產生的內在感受,無論是苦、樂,還是不苦不樂嗎?』 比丘回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是這樣說的。 『因此,比丘,應當好好思考這些法,這樣才能善終,後世也會安好。』當時,世尊為生病的比丘說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜后,就從座位起身離開了。 當時,生病的比丘,在世尊離開后,很快就去世了。臨終時,他的諸根喜悅,容貌清凈,膚色鮮白。 當時,許多比丘來到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊,那位年輕的比丘疾病纏身,現在已經去世了。他臨終時,諸根喜悅,容貌清凈,膚色鮮白。世尊,這位比丘會往生何處?如何受生?後世會如何?』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『那位去世的比丘是真正的寶物,他聽聞我的說法,清楚地理解了,對佛法沒有畏懼,已經證得涅槃,你們只需供養他的舍利。』 世尊當時為那位比丘授了第一記。

English version: 'What do you think, monks? Is it because there is an eye that there is eye-consciousness?' The monk replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha further asked, 'Monks, what do you think? Is it because there is eye-consciousness that there is eye-contact? And is it because of the condition of eye-contact that there arises an inner feeling, whether it is pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant?' The monk replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The same was said about the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. 'What do you think, monks? If there is no eye, is there no eye-consciousness?' The monk replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The Buddha further asked, 'Monks, if there is no eye-consciousness, is there no eye-contact? And if there is no eye-contact, is there no inner feeling arising from the condition of eye-contact, whether it is pleasant, unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant?' The monk replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable Sir!' The same was said about the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. 'Therefore, monks, you should contemplate these teachings well, so that you may have a good death, and your future lives will also be good.' At that time, the Buddha spoke various teachings to the sick monk, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening him, and then rose from his seat and left. At that time, the sick monk, after the Buddha had left, soon passed away. At the time of his death, his faculties were joyful, his countenance was clear, and his complexion was bright white. At that time, many monks went to the Buddha, bowed their heads at his feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, that young monk who was seriously ill has now passed away. At the time of his death, his faculties were joyful, his countenance was clear, and his complexion was bright white. Venerable Sir, where will this monk be reborn? How will he be reborn? What will his future life be like?' The Buddha told the monks, 'That monk who has passed away is a true treasure. He heard my teachings, understood them clearly, had no fear of the Dharma, and has attained Nirvana. You should only make offerings to his relics.' At that time, the Buddha gave the first prediction for that monk.


佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇二六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園……如上說。差別者:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。若彼比丘作如是念:『我此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使,及心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住;於此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使,及彼心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住。』彼比丘:『我此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使,及心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住;於此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使,及心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住。』若彼比丘於此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使,及心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住;於此識身及外境界一切相,無有我、我所見、我慢繫著使,及彼心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證具足住者,是名比丘斷愛慾,轉諸結,止慢無間等,究竟苦邊。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園……如上說

現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 現代漢語譯本:我是這樣聽說的: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園……(內容如前所述)。不同之處在於:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。如果那位比丘這樣想:『我對於這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,沒有『我』、『我所』的見解,沒有我慢的執著,並且已經達到心解脫和慧解脫,在當下就能親自證悟並安住;對於這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,沒有『我』、『我所』的見解,沒有我慢的執著,並且已經達到心解脫和慧解脫,在當下就能親自證悟並安住。』這位比丘會想:『我對於這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,沒有『我』、『我所』的見解,沒有我慢的執著,並且已經達到心解脫和慧解脫,在當下就能親自證悟並安住;對於這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,沒有『我』、『我所』的見解,沒有我慢的執著,並且已經達到心解脫和慧解脫,在當下就能親自證悟並安住。』如果那位比丘對於這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,沒有『我』、『我所』的見解,沒有我慢的執著,並且已經達到心解脫和慧解脫,在當下就能親自證悟並安住;對於這個有意識的身體以及外在的一切境界,沒有『我』、『我所』的見解,沒有我慢的執著,並且已經達到心解脫和慧解脫,在當下就能親自證悟並安住,那麼這位比丘就稱為斷除了愛慾,轉除了各種束縛,止息了無間的我慢,最終到達了苦的盡頭。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 現代漢語譯本:我是這樣聽說的: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園……(內容如前所述)。

English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti... (as described above). The difference is: 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. If that monk thinks thus: 'Regarding this conscious body and all external realms, there is no view of 'I' or 'mine,' no attachment to conceit, and having attained liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, one dwells having realized and witnessed it for oneself in the present; regarding this conscious body and all external realms, there is no view of 'I' or 'mine,' no attachment to conceit, and having attained liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, one dwells having realized and witnessed it for oneself in the present.' That monk will think: 'Regarding this conscious body and all external realms, there is no view of 'I' or 'mine,' no attachment to conceit, and having attained liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, one dwells having realized and witnessed it for oneself in the present; regarding this conscious body and all external realms, there is no view of 'I' or 'mine,' no attachment to conceit, and having attained liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, one dwells having realized and witnessed it for oneself in the present.' If that monk, regarding this conscious body and all external realms, has no view of 'I' or 'mine,' no attachment to conceit, and has attained liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, and dwells having realized and witnessed it for oneself in the present; regarding this conscious body and all external realms, has no view of 'I' or 'mine,' no attachment to conceit, and has attained liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, and dwells having realized and witnessed it for oneself in the present, then that monk is said to have abandoned craving, turned away from all fetters, stopped the uninterrupted conceit, and ultimately reached the end of suffering.' English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti... (as described above).


。差別者,乃至佛告病比丘:「汝不自犯戒耶?」

比丘白佛言:「世尊!我不以持凈戒故,於世尊所修梵行。」

佛告比丘:「汝以何等法故,於我所修梵行?」

比丘白佛:「為離貪慾故,於世尊所修梵行;為離瞋恚、愚癡故,於世尊所修梵行。」

佛告比丘:「如是,如是。汝正應為離貪慾故,於我所修梵行;離瞋恚、愚癡故,於我所修梵行。比丘!貪慾纏故,不得離欲;無明纏故,慧不清凈。是故,比丘!于欲離欲心解脫,離無明故慧解脫。若比丘于欲離欲心解脫身作證,離無明故慧解脫,是名比丘斷諸愛慾,轉結縛,止慢無間等,究竟苦邊。是故,比丘!於此法善思惟……」如前廣說,乃至「受第一記。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一〇二八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。時,有眾多比丘集於伽梨隸講堂。時,多有比丘疾病。

爾時,世尊晡時從禪覺,往至伽梨隸講堂,于大眾前敷座而坐。坐已,告諸比丘:「當正念正智以待時,是則為我隨順之教

現代漢語譯本:

『差別』在於,甚至佛陀問生病的比丘:『你沒有自己犯戒嗎?』 比丘回答佛陀說:『世尊!我不是因為持守清凈的戒律,才在世尊這裡修行梵行的。』 佛陀問比丘:『你因為什麼法,才在我這裡修行梵行呢?』 比丘回答佛陀:『爲了離開貪慾,才在世尊這裡修行梵行;爲了離開嗔恚、愚癡,才在世尊這裡修行梵行。』 佛陀告訴比丘:『是這樣,是這樣。你正應該爲了離開貪慾,才在我這裡修行梵行;爲了離開嗔恚、愚癡,才在我這裡修行梵行。比丘!因為貪慾的纏縛,所以不能離開慾望;因為無明的纏縛,所以智慧不清凈。因此,比丘!對於慾望,要以離欲的心解脫,離開無明,才能智慧解脫。如果比丘對於慾望,以離欲的心解脫,身體力行地證實,離開無明而智慧解脫,這樣的比丘就斷絕了所有的愛慾,轉變了束縛,停止了傲慢,沒有間隔地達到苦的盡頭。因此,比丘!對於這個法要好好地思考……』像前面那樣廣泛地講述,乃至『接受第一記。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (一〇二八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。當時,有很多比丘聚集在伽梨隸講堂。當時,有很多比丘生病。 那時,世尊在傍晚時分從禪定中醒來,前往伽梨隸講堂,在大眾面前鋪設座位坐下。坐下後,告訴眾比丘:『應當以正念正智等待時機,這才是隨順我的教導。』

English version:

'The difference' lies in that, even the Buddha asked the sick bhikkhu: 'Have you not violated the precepts yourself?' The bhikkhu replied to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, it is not because of upholding pure precepts that I practice the holy life under the Venerable One.' The Buddha asked the bhikkhu: 'For what reason do you practice the holy life under me?' The bhikkhu replied to the Buddha: 'It is to be free from greed that I practice the holy life under the Venerable One; it is to be free from anger and ignorance that I practice the holy life under the Venerable One.' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'It is so, it is so. You should indeed practice the holy life under me to be free from greed; to be free from anger and ignorance. Bhikkhu! Because of the entanglement of greed, one cannot be free from desire; because of the entanglement of ignorance, wisdom is not pure. Therefore, bhikkhu! Regarding desire, one should be liberated with a mind free from desire, and by being free from ignorance, one can be liberated through wisdom. If a bhikkhu is liberated from desire with a mind free from desire, and embodies this liberation, and is liberated through wisdom by being free from ignorance, such a bhikkhu has cut off all cravings, transformed the bonds, stopped arrogance, and reached the end of suffering without interruption. Therefore, bhikkhu! You should contemplate this Dharma well...' As described extensively before, up to 'receiving the first prediction.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid their respects, and departed. (1028) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, many bhikkhus were gathered in the Gālire Hall. At that time, many bhikkhus were ill. Then, the Blessed One, in the late afternoon, arose from meditation and went to the Gālire Hall, where he sat down on a seat prepared in front of the assembly. Having sat down, he addressed the bhikkhus: 'You should wait for the right time with mindfulness and clear comprehension, for this is in accordance with my teaching.'


。比丘!云何為正念?謂比丘內身身觀念處,精勤方便,正念正智,調伏世間貪憂;外身身觀念處、內外身身觀念處,內受、外受、內外受,內心、外心、內外心,內法、外法、內外法法觀念處,精勤方便,正念正智,調伏世間貪憂,是名比丘正憶念。

「云何正智?謂比丘若來若去,正知而住,瞻視觀察,屈申俯仰,執持衣缽,行、住、坐、臥、眠、覺,乃至五十、六十,依語默正智行。比丘!是名正智。

「如是,比丘!正念正智住者能起樂受,有因緣,非無因緣。云何因緣?謂緣于身,作是思惟:『我此身無常、有為、心因緣生;樂受亦無常、有為、心因緣生。』身及樂受觀察無常,觀察生滅,觀察離欲,觀察滅盡,觀察舍彼,觀察身及樂受無常,乃至舍已,若於身及樂受貪慾使者永不復使。

「如是,正念正智生苦受因緣,非不因緣。云何為因緣?如是緣身,作是思惟:『我此身無常、有為、心因緣生;苦受亦無常、有為、心因緣生。』身及苦受觀察無常,乃至舍,於此及苦受瞋恚所使,永不復使。

「如是,正念正智生不苦不樂受因緣,非不因緣。云何因緣?謂身因緣,作是思惟:『我此身無常、有為、心因緣生;彼不苦不樂受亦無常、有為、心因緣生

現代漢語譯本:比丘們!什麼是正念呢? 所謂比丘在內身上觀察身,精勤努力,以正念和正智,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁;在外身上觀察身,在內外身上觀察身;在內感受、外感受、內外感受;在內心、外心、內外心;在內法、外法、內外法上觀察法,精勤努力,以正念和正智,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁,這就叫做比丘的正憶念。 什麼是正智呢? 所謂比丘,無論是來還是去,都保持正知而住,瞻視觀察,屈身、伸身、俯身、仰身,執持衣缽,行走、站立、坐著、躺臥、睡眠、覺醒,乃至五十、六十,都依據言語和沉默保持正智而行。比丘們!這就叫做正智。 如此,比丘們!保持正念正智的人能夠生起樂受,這是有因緣的,不是沒有因緣的。什麼是因緣呢? 所謂緣于身體,這樣思惟:『我的這個身體是無常的、有為的、由心因緣而生的;樂受也是無常的、有為的、由心因緣而生的。』觀察身體和樂受的無常,觀察它們的生滅,觀察它們的離欲,觀察它們的滅盡,觀察它們的捨棄,觀察身體和樂受的無常,乃至捨棄之後,對於身體和樂受的貪慾習性就永遠不再生起。 如此,正念正智慧夠生起苦受,這是有因緣的,不是沒有因緣的。什麼是因緣呢? 所謂緣于身體,這樣思惟:『我的這個身體是無常的、有為的、由心因緣而生的;苦受也是無常的、有為的、由心因緣而生的。』觀察身體和苦受的無常,乃至捨棄之後,對於身體和苦受的瞋恚習性就永遠不再生起。 如此,正念正智慧夠生起不苦不樂受,這是有因緣的,不是沒有因緣的。什麼是因緣呢? 所謂緣于身體,這樣思惟:『我的這個身體是無常的、有為的、由心因緣而生的;那個不苦不樂受也是無常的、有為的、由心因緣而生的。

English version: Monks! What is right mindfulness? It is when a monk dwells contemplating the body in the body internally, diligently, with effort, with right mindfulness and right understanding, subduing the greed and distress in the world; contemplating the body in the body externally, contemplating the body in the body both internally and externally; contemplating feelings in feelings internally, externally, and both internally and externally; contemplating mind in mind internally, externally, and both internally and externally; contemplating phenomena in phenomena internally, externally, and both internally and externally, diligently, with effort, with right mindfulness and right understanding, subduing the greed and distress in the world. This, monks, is called right mindfulness. What is right understanding? It is when a monk, whether going or coming, dwells with right knowledge, looking forward and observing, bending and stretching, holding his robe and bowl, walking, standing, sitting, lying down, sleeping, waking, even in fifty or sixty activities, acts with right understanding in speech and silence. Monks! This is called right understanding. Thus, monks! One who dwells with right mindfulness and right understanding can experience pleasant feelings, and this has a cause, it is not without a cause. What is the cause? It is when, regarding the body, one thinks: 『This body of mine is impermanent, conditioned, born of mental causes; pleasant feelings are also impermanent, conditioned, born of mental causes.』 Observing the impermanence of the body and pleasant feelings, observing their arising and passing away, observing their detachment, observing their cessation, observing their relinquishment, observing the impermanence of the body and pleasant feelings, and having relinquished them, the tendency to greed for the body and pleasant feelings is never again aroused. Thus, right mindfulness and right understanding can give rise to painful feelings, and this has a cause, it is not without a cause. What is the cause? It is when, regarding the body, one thinks: 『This body of mine is impermanent, conditioned, born of mental causes; painful feelings are also impermanent, conditioned, born of mental causes.』 Observing the impermanence of the body and painful feelings, and having relinquished them, the tendency to anger for the body and painful feelings is never again aroused. Thus, right mindfulness and right understanding can give rise to neither-pleasant-nor-painful feelings, and this has a cause, it is not without a cause. What is the cause? It is when, regarding the body, one thinks: 『This body of mine is impermanent, conditioned, born of mental causes; those neither-pleasant-nor-painful feelings are also impermanent, conditioned, born of mental causes.』


。』彼身及不苦不樂受觀察無常,乃至舍,若所有身及不苦不樂受無明使使,使永不復使。多聞聖弟子如是觀者,於色厭離,于受、想、行、識厭離,厭離已離欲,離欲已解脫,解脫知見:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「樂覺所覺時,  莫能知樂覺,  貪慾使所使,  不見於出離。  苦受所覺時,  莫能知苦受,  瞋恚使所使,  不見出離道。  不苦不樂受,  等正覺所說,  彼亦不能知,  終不度彼岸。  若比丘精勤,  正智不傾動,  于彼一切受,  黠慧能悉知。  能知諸受已,  現法盡諸漏,  依慧而命終,  涅槃不墮數。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「智慧多聞者,  非不覺諸受,  若於苦樂受,  分別諦明瞭。  當知堅固事,  凡夫有升降,  於樂不染著,  于苦不傾動

現代漢語譯本:'他觀察自身以及不苦不樂的感受是無常的,乃至捨棄。如果所有身體以及不苦不樂的感受被無明所驅使,那麼這種驅使將永遠不會停止。多聞的聖弟子這樣觀察,就會對色(物質)產生厭離,對受、想、行、識(精神)也產生厭離。厭離之後就會離欲,離欲之後就會解脫,解脫之後就會有這樣的知見:『我的生命已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來生。』 那時,世尊說了偈語: 『當感受到快樂時,不能認識到快樂的本質,被貪慾所驅使,就看不到解脫之道。 當感受到痛苦時,不能認識到痛苦的本質,被嗔恚所驅使,就看不到解脫之道。 對於不苦不樂的感受,這是等正覺者所說的,他們也不能認識到,最終無法度過彼岸。 如果比丘精勤修行,正智不為所動,對於一切感受,都能以智慧完全瞭解。 能夠了解諸種感受之後,在現世就能斷盡煩惱,依靠智慧而終結生命,進入涅槃,不再輪迴。』 佛陀說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一〇二九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園……如上面所說。當時,有許多比丘在迦梨隸講堂,他們大多生病……如上面所說。不同之處在於:『乃至聖弟子這樣觀察,就會對色(物質)解脫,對受、想、行、識(精神)解脫,我說這些人解脫了生、老、病、死。』 那時,世尊說了偈語: 『智慧多聞的人,並非不能覺察到各種感受,如果對於苦樂的感受,能夠分別清楚地瞭解。 應當知道,堅固的事情,凡夫會有升降,對於快樂不會執著,對於痛苦不會動搖。'

English version: 'He observes his own body and the feeling that is neither pleasant nor unpleasant as impermanent, even to the point of relinquishing it. If all bodily sensations and feelings that are neither pleasant nor unpleasant are driven by ignorance, then this driving force will never cease. A well-learned noble disciple, observing in this way, will become detached from form (matter), and will also become detached from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness (mind). Having become detached, he will be free from desire; having become free from desire, he will be liberated; having been liberated, he will have this knowledge: 『My life is finished, the pure practice has been established, what needed to be done has been done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』 Then, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 『When feeling pleasure, one cannot recognize the nature of pleasure; driven by greed, one cannot see the path to liberation. When feeling pain, one cannot recognize the nature of pain; driven by hatred, one cannot see the path to liberation. As for feelings that are neither pleasant nor unpleasant, which the Perfectly Enlightened One has spoken of, they also cannot recognize them, and ultimately cannot cross over to the other shore. If a bhikkhu practices diligently, with right wisdom that is not shaken, he will be able to fully understand all feelings with wisdom. Having understood all feelings, he will exhaust all defilements in this very life, and relying on wisdom, he will end his life and enter Nirvana, no longer subject to rebirth.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (1029) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi... as described above. At that time, there were many bhikkhus in the Kalirika lecture hall, and many of them were ill... as described above. The difference is: 『Even a noble disciple observing in this way will be liberated from form (matter), and will be liberated from feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness (mind). I say that these people are liberated from birth, old age, sickness, and death.』 Then, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 『A wise and learned person is not unaware of various feelings; if one can clearly understand the nature of pleasant and painful feelings, one should know that the steadfast things, ordinary people will have ups and downs, they will not be attached to pleasure, and they will not be shaken by pain.』


。  知受不受生,  依于貪恚覺,  斷除斯等已,  其心善解脫。  繫念緣妙境,  正向待終期,  若比丘精勤,  正智不傾動。  於此一切受,  慧者能覺知,  了知諸受已,  現法盡諸漏。  依慧而命終,  涅槃不墮數。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘歡喜,作禮而去。

(一〇三〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,給孤獨長者得病,身極苦痛。世尊聞已,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,次第乞食至給孤獨長者舍。

長者遙見世尊,馮床欲起。

世尊見已,即告之言:「長者勿起!增其苦患。」世尊即坐,告長者言:「云何?長者,病可忍不?身所苦患,為增、為損?」

長者白佛:「甚苦!世尊!難可堪忍……」乃至說三受,如差摩修多羅廣說,乃至「苦受但增不損。」

佛告長者:「當如是學:『于佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。』」

長者白佛:「如世尊說四不壞凈,我有此法,此法中有我。世尊!我今于佛不壞凈,法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。」

佛告長者:「善哉!善哉!」即記長者得阿那含果。

長者白佛:「唯愿世尊今於此食。」爾時,世尊默而許之

現代漢語譯本:

『知道是否會再次受生,取決於貪婪、嗔恨的感受。 斷除了這些感受,他的心就能得到徹底的解脫。 專注於美好的境界,以正確的方向等待生命的終結。 如果比丘精進修行,他的正智就不會動搖。 對於這一切感受,有智慧的人能夠覺察。 瞭解了這些感受之後,就能在今生斷盡所有煩惱。 依靠智慧而終結生命,涅槃就不會被算作輪迴中的一部分。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘歡喜,行禮后離去。 (一〇三〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,給孤獨長者生病,身體非常痛苦。世尊聽到后,早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食,依次乞食來到給孤獨長者的住所。 長者遠遠地看見世尊,想要從床上起身。 世尊看見后,立即告訴他說:『長者不要起身!會增加你的痛苦。』世尊隨即坐下,告訴長者說:『怎麼樣?長者,你的病可以忍受嗎?身體的痛苦,是加重了還是減輕了?』 長者對佛說:『非常痛苦!世尊!難以忍受……』乃至說了三種感受,如同《差摩修多羅》中詳細描述的那樣,乃至『苦受只是增加,沒有減輕。』 佛陀告訴長者:『應當這樣學習:』對佛有不壞的清凈信心,對法、僧有不壞的清凈信心,成就聖戒。』 長者對佛說:『正如世尊所說的四不壞凈,我擁有這種法,這種法中也有我。世尊!我現在對佛有不壞的清凈信心,對法、僧有不壞的清凈信心,成就聖戒。』 佛陀告訴長者:『好啊!好啊!』隨即記說長者證得阿那含果。 長者對佛說:『希望世尊今天在這裡用餐。』當時,世尊默許了。

English version:

'Knowing whether one will be reborn depends on the feelings of greed and hatred. Having eliminated these feelings, his mind will be completely liberated. Focusing on the beautiful realm, awaiting the end of life in the right direction. If a bhikkhu practices diligently, his right wisdom will not waver. Regarding all these feelings, the wise can perceive them. Having understood these feelings, one can exhaust all defilements in this life. Ending life relying on wisdom, Nirvana will not be counted as part of the cycle of rebirth.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus rejoiced, paid their respects, and departed. (1030) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the elder Anathapindika fell ill, and his body was in great pain. When the World-Honored One heard of this, he put on his robes in the morning, took his bowl, entered the city of Savatthi to beg for alms, and went to the residence of the elder Anathapindika. The elder saw the World-Honored One from afar and tried to rise from his bed. Upon seeing this, the World-Honored One immediately said to him, 'Elder, do not rise! It will increase your suffering.' The World-Honored One then sat down and said to the elder, 'How is it, elder? Is your illness bearable? Is the pain in your body increasing or decreasing?' The elder said to the Buddha, 'It is very painful! World-Honored One! It is unbearable...' and then spoke of the three feelings, as described in detail in the 'Chamma Sutta', even saying, 'The painful feeling is only increasing, not decreasing.' The Buddha said to the elder, 'You should learn thus: 'To have unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and to be accomplished in the noble precepts.' The elder said to the Buddha, 'As the World-Honored One has spoken of the four unwavering faiths, I possess this Dharma, and this Dharma is within me. World-Honored One! I now have unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and I am accomplished in the noble precepts.' The Buddha said to the elder, 'Excellent! Excellent!' and then declared that the elder had attained the fruit of Anagami. The elder said to the Buddha, 'May the World-Honored One please have a meal here today.' At that time, the World-Honored One remained silent in assent.


長者即敕辦種種凈美飲食,供養世尊。世尊食已,為長者種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,從坐起而去。

(一〇三一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,尊者阿難聞給孤獨長者身遭苦患,往詣其舍。長者遙見阿難,馮床欲起……乃至說三受,如前叉摩修多羅廣說,乃至「苦患但增不損。」

時,尊者阿難告長者言:「勿恐怖!若愚癡無聞凡夫不信于佛,不信法、僧,聖戒不具,故有恐怖,亦畏命終及後世苦。汝今不信已斷、已知,于佛凈信具足,於法、僧凈信具足,聖戒成就。」

長者白尊者阿難:「我今何所恐怖?我始於王舍城寒林中丘塳間見世尊,即得於佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。自從是來,家有錢財悉與佛、弟子,比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷共。」

尊者阿難言:「善哉!長者!汝自記說是須陀洹果。」

長者白尊者阿難:「可就此食。」

尊者阿難默然受請。

即辦種種凈美飲食,供養尊者阿難,食已,復為長者種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,從坐起而去。

(一〇三二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:

長者立刻準備了各種乾淨精美的食物,供養世尊。世尊用過餐后,為長者宣說了各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,便從座位起身離開了。

(一〇三一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,尊者阿難聽說給孤獨長者身患重病,便前往他的住所。長者遠遠地看見阿難,便靠著床想要起身……乃至講述了三種感受,如同之前叉摩修多羅中詳細講述的那樣,乃至說『病痛只是加重而沒有減輕』。

當時,尊者阿難告訴長者說:『不要害怕!如果愚癡無知的凡夫不相信佛,不相信佛法、僧團,沒有持守清凈的戒律,所以才會感到恐懼,也害怕死亡和來世的痛苦。你現在不信已經斷除,已經明白,對佛有清凈的信心,對佛法、僧團有清凈的信心,清凈的戒律也已經成就。』

長者對尊者阿難說:『我現在有什麼好害怕的呢?我當初在王舍城寒林中的墳地間見到世尊時,就對佛有了不壞的清凈信心,對佛法、僧團也有了不壞的清凈信心,清凈的戒律也已經成就。自從那時以來,家裡的錢財都用來供養佛和弟子,包括比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷。』

尊者阿難說:『太好了!長者!你自己記述說你已經證得了須陀洹果。』

長者對尊者阿難說:『請在這裡用餐吧。』

尊者阿難默然接受了邀請。

隨即準備了各種乾淨精美的食物,供養尊者阿難。用過餐后,又為長者宣說了各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,便從座位起身離開了。

(一〇三二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version:

The elder then immediately prepared various pure and exquisite foods to offer to the World Honored One. After the World Honored One had eaten, he expounded various teachings to the elder, instructing, teaching, enlightening, and gladdening him, and then rose from his seat and departed.

(1031)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.

At that time, the Venerable Ananda heard that the elder Anathapindika was suffering from a severe illness, so he went to his residence. The elder, seeing Ananda from afar, leaned on the bed, wanting to rise... and then spoke of the three feelings, as described in detail in the previous Chamma Sutta, even saying, 'The pain only increases and does not diminish.'

At that time, the Venerable Ananda said to the elder, 'Do not be afraid! If foolish and ignorant ordinary people do not believe in the Buddha, do not believe in the Dharma and the Sangha, and do not have pure precepts, then they will be afraid, and they will also fear death and the suffering of the next life. You now have cut off disbelief, you understand, you have complete pure faith in the Buddha, you have complete pure faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and you have achieved pure precepts.'

The elder said to the Venerable Ananda, 'What do I have to fear now? When I first saw the World Honored One in the charnel ground in the Cold Forest of Rajagriha, I immediately gained unwavering pure faith in the Buddha, unwavering pure faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and I achieved pure precepts. Since then, all the wealth in my house has been given to the Buddha and his disciples, including monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen.'

The Venerable Ananda said, 'Excellent! Elder! You yourself have stated that you have attained the fruit of Stream-entry.'

The elder said to the Venerable Ananda, 'Please have a meal here.'

The Venerable Ananda silently accepted the invitation.

He then prepared various pure and exquisite foods to offer to the Venerable Ananda. After he had eaten, he again expounded various teachings to the elder, instructing, teaching, enlightening, and gladdening him, and then rose from his seat and departed.

(1032)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.


爾時,尊者舍利弗聞給孤獨長者身遭苦患。聞已,語尊者阿難:「知不?給孤獨長者身遭苦患,當共往看。」尊者阿難默然而許。

時,尊者舍利弗與尊者阿難共詣給孤獨長者舍。長者遙見尊者舍利弗,扶床欲起……乃至說三種受,如叉摩修多羅廣說,「身諸苦患轉增無損。」

尊者舍利弗告長者言:「當如是學:『不著眼,不依眼界生貪慾識;不著耳、鼻、舌、身,意亦不著,不依意界生貪慾識。不著色,不依色界生貪慾識;不著聲、香、味、觸、法,不依法界生貪慾識。不著于地界,不依地界生貪慾識;不著於水、火、風、空、識界,不依識界生貪慾識。不著色陰,不依色陰生貪慾識;不著受、想、行、識陰,不依識陰生貪慾識。』」

時,給孤獨長者悲嘆流淚。尊者阿難告長者言:「汝今怯劣耶?」

長者白阿難:「不怯劣也。我自顧念,奉佛以來二十餘年,未聞尊者舍利弗說深妙法,如今所聞。」

尊者舍利弗告長者言:「我亦久來未嘗為諸長者說如是法。」

長者白尊者舍利弗:「有居家白衣,有勝信、勝念、勝樂,不聞深法,而生退沒。善哉!尊者舍利弗!當爲居家白衣說深妙法,以哀愍故!尊者舍利弗!今於此食。」尊者舍利弗等默然受請

現代漢語譯本 當時,尊者舍利弗聽到給孤獨長者身患重病。聽聞后,他告訴尊者阿難:『你知道嗎?給孤獨長者身患重病,我們應該一起去看看他。』尊者阿難默許了。 於是,尊者舍利弗和尊者阿難一同前往給孤獨長者的住所。長者遠遠地看見尊者舍利弗,便扶著床想要起身……(此處省略,內容與《叉摩修多羅》中廣說的一樣)長者說:『我身上的各種痛苦都在加劇,沒有減輕。』 尊者舍利弗告訴長者說:『你應當這樣學習:不要執著于眼睛,不要因為眼睛的界限而產生貪慾的意識;不要執著于耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體,也不要執著于意念,不要因為意念的界限而產生貪慾的意識。不要執著于顏色,不要因為顏色而產生貪慾的意識;不要執著于聲音、氣味、味道、觸感、事物,不要因為事物的界限而產生貪慾的意識。不要執著于地界,不要因為地界而產生貪慾的意識;不要執著於水、火、風、空、識界,不要因為識界而產生貪慾的意識。不要執著於色陰,不要因為色陰而產生貪慾的意識;不要執著于受、想、行、識陰,不要因為識陰而產生貪慾的意識。』 這時,給孤獨長者悲傷地流下了眼淚。尊者阿難問長者說:『你現在是感到害怕了嗎?』 長者回答阿難說:『我不是害怕。我只是想到,自從我皈依佛陀以來已經二十多年了,從未聽聞尊者舍利弗講說如此深奧的佛法,今天才聽到。』 尊者舍利弗告訴長者說:『我也是很久以來沒有為各位長者講說這樣的佛法了。』 長者對尊者舍利弗說:『有些在家的白衣,他們有堅定的信仰、堅定的正念、堅定的喜樂,卻聽不到如此深奧的佛法,因此會產生退轉。太好了!尊者舍利弗!請您爲了憐憫我們,為在家的白衣講說如此深奧的佛法吧!尊者舍利弗!今天請在這裡用餐。』尊者舍利弗等人默然接受了邀請。

English version At that time, Venerable Sariputra heard that the elder Anathapindika was suffering from a severe illness. Upon hearing this, he said to Venerable Ananda, 'Do you know? The elder Anathapindika is suffering from a severe illness, we should go and visit him together.' Venerable Ananda silently agreed. Then, Venerable Sariputra and Venerable Ananda went together to the residence of the elder Anathapindika. The elder saw Venerable Sariputra from afar and, supporting himself on the bed, tried to get up... (omitted, the content is as extensively described in the 'Chama Sutta') The elder said, 'The various pains in my body are increasing, not decreasing.' Venerable Sariputra told the elder, 'You should learn like this: do not be attached to the eye, do not let the boundary of the eye give rise to consciousness of desire; do not be attached to the ear, nose, tongue, body, nor be attached to the mind, do not let the boundary of the mind give rise to consciousness of desire. Do not be attached to form, do not let form give rise to consciousness of desire; do not be attached to sound, smell, taste, touch, or phenomena, do not let the boundary of phenomena give rise to consciousness of desire. Do not be attached to the earth element, do not let the earth element give rise to consciousness of desire; do not be attached to the water, fire, wind, space, or consciousness elements, do not let the consciousness element give rise to consciousness of desire. Do not be attached to the form aggregate, do not let the form aggregate give rise to consciousness of desire; do not be attached to the feeling, perception, mental formations, or consciousness aggregates, do not let the consciousness aggregate give rise to consciousness of desire.' At this time, the elder Anathapindika wept with sorrow. Venerable Ananda asked the elder, 'Are you feeling afraid now?' The elder replied to Ananda, 'I am not afraid. I am just thinking that since I took refuge in the Buddha more than twenty years ago, I have never heard Venerable Sariputra speak such profound Dharma, and I have only heard it today.' Venerable Sariputra told the elder, 'It has also been a long time since I have spoken such Dharma to the elders.' The elder said to Venerable Sariputra, 'There are some lay white-clothed people who have strong faith, strong mindfulness, and strong joy, but they do not hear such profound Dharma, and therefore they may regress. Excellent! Venerable Sariputra! Please, out of compassion, speak such profound Dharma for the lay white-clothed people! Venerable Sariputra! Please have a meal here today.' Venerable Sariputra and the others silently accepted the invitation.


即設種種凈美飲食,恭敬供養。食已,復為長者種種說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,即從坐起而去。

(一〇三三)

達磨提離長者修多羅亦如世尊為給孤獨長者初修多羅廣說,第二修多羅亦如是說。差別者:「若復長者依此四不壞凈已,于上修習六念:謂念如來事,乃至念天。」

長者白佛言:「世尊!依四不壞凈,于上修六隨念,我今悉成就,我常修念如來事,乃至念天。」

佛告長者:「善哉!善哉!汝今自記阿那含果。」

長者白佛:「唯愿世尊受我請食。」爾時,世尊默然受請。

長者知佛受請已,即具種種凈美飲食,恭敬供養,世尊食已,復為長者種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,從坐起而去。

(一〇三四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有長壽童子,是樹提長者孫子,身嬰重病。

爾時,世尊聞長壽童子身嬰重病,晨朝著衣持缽,入王舍城乞食,次第到長壽童子舍。長壽童子遙見世尊,扶床欲起……乃至說三受,如叉摩修多羅廣說,乃至「病苦但增無損。是故,童子!當如是學:『于佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。』當如是學

現代漢語譯本 然後準備各種潔凈美好的飲食,恭敬地供養。用過餐后,又為長者宣說各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、歡喜后,就從座位起身離去。 (一〇三三) 達磨提離長者的修多羅也像世尊為給孤獨長者初次宣說的修多羅那樣廣說,第二次的修多羅也是這樣說的。不同之處在於:『如果長者依據這四種不壞的清凈,再向上修習六種憶念:即憶念如來的事蹟,乃至憶念天。』 長者對佛說:『世尊!依據四種不壞的清凈,再向上修習六種隨念,我現在都已成就,我常常修習憶念如來的事蹟,乃至憶念天。』 佛告訴長者:『很好!很好!你現在可以自己記述證得阿那含果。』 長者對佛說:『唯愿世尊接受我的齋飯供養。』當時,世尊默然接受了邀請。 長者知道佛接受邀請后,立即準備各種潔凈美好的飲食,恭敬地供養,世尊用過餐后,又為長者宣說各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜后,從座位起身離去。 (一〇三四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位名叫長壽的童子,是樹提長者的孫子,身患重病。 那時,世尊聽到長壽童子身患重病,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入王舍城乞食,依次來到長壽童子的住所。長壽童子遠遠看見世尊,扶著床想要起身……乃至宣說三種感受,如叉摩修多羅所廣說,乃至『病苦只會增加不會減少。所以,童子!應當這樣學習:『對佛有不壞的清凈,對法、僧有不壞的清凈,成就聖戒。』應當這樣學習。

English version Then, they would prepare various pure and delicious foods, and respectfully offer them. After the meal, they would again preach various teachings to the elder, instructing, teaching, enlightening, and gladdening him; having instructed, taught, enlightened, and gladdened him, they would rise from their seats and depart. (1033) The Sutra of the Elder Dharmatila is also extensively explained like the first Sutra that the World Honored One spoke for the Elder Anathapindika, and the second Sutra is also explained in the same way. The difference is: 'If the elder, relying on these four indestructible purities, further cultivates the six recollections: namely, recollection of the Tathagata's deeds, and even recollection of the gods.' The elder said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! Relying on the four indestructible purities, and further cultivating the six recollections, I have now achieved them all. I constantly cultivate the recollection of the Tathagata's deeds, and even the recollection of the gods.' The Buddha told the elder: 'Excellent! Excellent! You may now record yourself as having attained the Anagami fruit.' The elder said to the Buddha: 'May the World Honored One accept my invitation for a meal.' At that time, the World Honored One silently accepted the invitation. Knowing that the Buddha had accepted the invitation, the elder immediately prepared various pure and delicious foods, and respectfully offered them. After the World Honored One had eaten, he again preached various teachings to the elder, instructing, teaching, enlightening, and gladdening him, and then rose from his seat and departed. (1034) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, there was a young boy named Long-Life, who was the grandson of the Elder Shuti, and he was suffering from a serious illness. Then, the World Honored One heard that the young boy Long-Life was suffering from a serious illness. In the morning, he put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered Rajagriha to beg for alms, and he went to the residence of the young boy Long-Life. The young boy Long-Life saw the World Honored One from afar, and he tried to get up from his bed... and then he spoke about the three feelings, as extensively explained in the Chama Sutra, and even 'The suffering of the illness will only increase and not decrease. Therefore, young boy! You should learn like this: 'To have indestructible purity in the Buddha, indestructible purity in the Dharma and the Sangha, and to achieve the noble precepts.' You should learn like this.


。」

童子白佛言:「世尊!如世尊說四不壞凈,我今悉有,我常于佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。」

佛告童子:「汝當依四不壞凈,于上修習六明分想。何等為六?謂一切行無常想、無常苦想、苦無我想、觀食想、一切世間不可樂想、死想。」

童子白佛言:「如世尊說,依四不壞凈,修習六明分想,我今悉有。然我作是念:『我命終后,不知我祖父樹提長者當云何?』」

爾時,樹提長者語長壽童子言:「汝於我所,故念且停。汝今且聽世尊說法,思惟憶念,可得長夜福利安樂饒益。」

時,長壽童子言:「我於一切諸行當作無常想、無常苦想、苦無我想、觀食想、一切世間不可樂想、死想,常現在前。」

佛告童子:「汝今自記斯陀含果。」

長壽童子白佛言:「世尊!唯愿世尊住我舍食。」爾時世尊默然而許。

長壽童子即辦種種凈美飲食,恭敬供養。世尊食已,復為童子種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,從坐起而去。

(一〇三五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。

時,婆藪長者身遭苦患

現代漢語譯本 童子對佛說:『世尊!正如世尊所說的四不壞凈,我現在都具備了。我常常對佛有不壞凈的信心,對法、僧也有不壞凈的信心,並且成就了聖戒。』 佛告訴童子:『你應該依靠這四不壞凈,進一步修習六明分想。哪六種呢?就是一切行無常想、無常苦想、苦無我想、觀食想、一切世間不可樂想、死想。』 童子對佛說:『正如世尊所說,依靠四不壞凈,修習六明分想,我現在都具備了。然而我心中想著:『我死後,不知道我的祖父樹提長者將會怎麼樣?』』 這時,樹提長者對長壽童子說:『你對我的掛念可以暫時放下。你現在應該聽世尊說法,好好思考憶念,這樣才能獲得長久的利益、安樂和饒益。』 當時,長壽童子說:『我對於一切諸行,都會作無常想、無常苦想、苦無我想、觀食想、一切世間不可樂想、死想,這些念頭常常在心中呈現。』 佛告訴童子:『你現在可以自己記述你已證得斯陀含果。』 長壽童子對佛說:『世尊!希望世尊能到我的住所接受供養。』這時世尊默然答應了。 長壽童子立即準備了各種乾淨美好的飲食,恭敬地供養佛。世尊用完餐后,又為童子說了各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,就從座位起身離開了。 (一〇三五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在波羅奈國的仙人居住的鹿野苑中。 當時,婆藪長者身患疾病,遭受痛苦。

English version The youth said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, as the Venerable Sir has spoken of the four indestructible purities, I now possess them all. I constantly have indestructible purity in the Buddha, in the Dharma, and in the Sangha, and I have achieved the noble precepts.' The Buddha told the youth, 'You should rely on these four indestructible purities and further cultivate the six aspects of clear perception. What are the six? They are the perception of impermanence of all formations, the perception of suffering in impermanence, the perception of no-self in suffering, the perception of contemplating food, the perception of the unenjoyableness of all the world, and the perception of death.' The youth said to the Buddha, 'As the Venerable Sir has said, relying on the four indestructible purities and cultivating the six aspects of clear perception, I now possess them all. However, I think to myself, 『After I die, I do not know what will become of my grandfather, the elder Sudatta?』' At that time, the elder Sudatta said to the youth Long-Life, 'Your concern for me can be put aside for now. You should now listen to the Buddha's teachings, contemplate and remember them, so that you may obtain long-lasting benefits, peace, and prosperity.' At that time, the youth Long-Life said, 'Regarding all formations, I will cultivate the perception of impermanence, the perception of suffering in impermanence, the perception of no-self in suffering, the perception of contemplating food, the perception of the unenjoyableness of all the world, and the perception of death. These thoughts are constantly present in my mind.' The Buddha told the youth, 'You may now record for yourself that you have attained the fruit of a Sakadagami.' The youth Long-Life said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, I wish that the Venerable Sir would stay at my residence and accept my offering of food.' At that time, the Venerable Sir silently agreed. The youth Long-Life immediately prepared various clean and delicious foods and respectfully offered them to the Buddha. After the Venerable Sir had finished eating, he again spoke various teachings to the youth, instructing, teaching, enlightening, and gladdening him, and then rose from his seat and departed. (1035) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at the hermitage of the ascetics in the country of Varanasi. At that time, the elder Vasu was suffering from illness and experiencing pain.


爾時,世尊聞婆藪長者身遭苦患……如前達摩提那長者修多羅廣說,得阿那含果記,乃至從坐起而去。

(一〇三六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。

時,有釋氏沙羅疾病委篤。

爾時,世尊聞釋氏沙羅疾病委篤,晨朝著衣持缽,入迦維羅衛國乞食,次到釋氏沙羅舍。釋氏沙羅遙見世尊,扶床欲起……乃至說三受,如差摩迦修多羅廣說,乃至「患苦但增不損。是故,釋氏沙羅,當如是學:『于佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。』」

釋氏沙羅白佛言:「如世尊說:『于佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。』我悉有之,我常于佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。」

佛告釋氏沙羅:「是故,汝當依佛不壞凈,法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就,于上修習五喜處。何等為五?謂念如來事,乃至自所施法。」

釋氏沙羅白佛言:「如世尊說,依四不壞凈,修五喜處,我亦有之,我常念如來事,乃至自所施法。」

佛言:「善哉!善哉!汝今自記斯陀含果。」

沙羅白佛:「唯愿世尊今我舍食。」爾時,世尊默然而許

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊聽到婆藪長者身患重病……如同之前達摩提那長者經中所廣說,他獲得了阿那含果的授記,然後從座位上起身離去。

(一〇三六)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。

當時,有一位名叫沙羅的釋迦族人身患重病,病情危重。

那時,世尊聽到釋迦族人沙羅身患重病,病情危重,便在早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入迦毗羅衛國乞食,隨後到了釋迦族人沙羅的住所。釋迦族人沙羅遠遠地看見世尊,便扶著床想要起身……乃至講述了三種感受,如同差摩迦經中所廣說,乃至說『病痛只會增加不會減少。因此,釋迦族人沙羅,你應當這樣學習:『對佛陀有不壞的凈信,對佛法、僧團有不壞的凈信,成就聖戒。』

釋迦族人沙羅對佛陀說:『正如世尊所說:『對佛陀有不壞的凈信,對佛法、僧團有不壞的凈信,成就聖戒。』我都有這些,我常常對佛陀有不壞的凈信,對佛法、僧團有不壞的凈信,成就聖戒。』

佛陀告訴釋迦族人沙羅:『因此,你應當依靠對佛陀不壞的凈信,對佛法、僧團不壞的凈信,成就聖戒,在此基礎上修習五種喜悅之處。哪五種呢?就是憶念如來的事蹟,乃至自己所施的法。』

釋迦族人沙羅對佛陀說:『正如世尊所說,依靠四種不壞的凈信,修習五種喜悅之處,我也有這些,我常常憶念如來的事蹟,乃至自己所施的法。』

佛陀說:『好啊!好啊!你現在自己可以記說你已證得斯陀含果。』

沙羅對佛陀說:『希望世尊今天接受我的供養。』當時,世尊默然應允。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One heard that the elder Vasu was suffering from severe illness... as extensively explained in the Sutra of the elder Dharmadinna, he received the prediction of the Anagami fruit, and then rose from his seat and departed.

(1036)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Nigrodha Garden in Kapilavastu.

At that time, there was a Shakya named Sarala who was seriously ill and in critical condition.

Then, the World Honored One heard that the Shakya Sarala was seriously ill and in critical condition. In the morning, he put on his robes, took his bowl, entered Kapilavastu to beg for food, and then arrived at the residence of the Shakya Sarala. The Shakya Sarala saw the World Honored One from afar and, supporting himself on the bed, tried to get up... and then spoke about the three feelings, as extensively explained in the Sutra of Chammaka, and even said, 'The pain will only increase and not decrease. Therefore, Shakya Sarala, you should learn like this: 'Have unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and achieve the noble precepts.'

The Shakya Sarala said to the Buddha, 'As the World Honored One said: 'Have unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and achieve the noble precepts.' I have all of these. I always have unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and have achieved the noble precepts.'

The Buddha told the Shakya Sarala, 'Therefore, you should rely on unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, achieve the noble precepts, and on this basis, cultivate the five places of joy. What are the five? They are the recollection of the Tathagata's deeds, and even the Dharma that you have given.'

The Shakya Sarala said to the Buddha, 'As the World Honored One said, relying on the four unwavering faiths, cultivating the five places of joy, I also have these. I often recollect the Tathagata's deeds, and even the Dharma that I have given.'

The Buddha said, 'Excellent! Excellent! You can now declare yourself that you have attained the Sakadagami fruit.'

Sarala said to the Buddha, 'May the World Honored One accept my offering today.' At that time, the World Honored One silently agreed.


沙羅長者即辦種種凈美飲食,恭敬供養,世尊食已,復為沙羅長者種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,從坐起而去。

(一〇三七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住那梨聚落曲谷精舍。

爾時,耶輸長者疾病困篤……如是乃至得阿那含果記,如達摩提那修多羅廣說。

(一〇三八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住瞻婆國竭伽池側。時,有摩那提那長者疾病新差。

時,摩那提長者語一士夫言:「善男子!汝往尊者阿那律所,為我稽首阿那律足,問訊起居輕利、安樂住不?明日通身四人愿受我請。若受請者,汝復為我白言:『我俗人多有王家事,不能得自往奉迎,唯愿尊者時到,通身四人來赴我請,哀愍故!』」

時,彼男子受長者教,詣尊者阿那律所,稽首禮足。白言尊者:「摩那提那長者敬禮問訊:『少病少惱、起居輕利、安樂住不?唯愿尊者通身四人明日日中,哀受我請。』」時,尊者阿那律默然受請。

時,彼士夫復以摩那提那長者語白尊者阿那律:「我是俗人,多有王家事,不得躬自奉迎,唯愿尊者通身四人明日日中,哀受我請,憐愍故!」

尊者阿那律陀言:「汝且自安!我自知時,明日通身四人往詣其舍

現代漢語譯本 沙羅長者隨即準備了各種乾淨美好的食物,恭敬地供養佛陀。世尊用過餐后,又為沙羅長者做了種種開示,以佛法開導、教誨、啓發、使其歡喜,然後從座位起身離去。

(一〇三七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在納梨聚落的曲谷精舍。 當時,耶輸長者身患重病,病情危急……(此處省略,內容與《達摩提那修多羅》中廣說的一樣),最終證得阿那含果位。

(一〇三八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在瞻婆國竭伽池邊。當時,摩那提那長者剛剛從疾病中康復。 摩那提那長者對一位男子說:『好人,你到尊者阿那律那裡,替我向阿那律尊者頂禮問候,問他起居是否安好,是否安樂?明天請他和另外三位僧人接受我的供養。如果他接受邀請,你再替我轉告:『我俗人俗事纏身,有很多王家事務,不能親自前去迎接,只希望尊者到時候,和另外三位僧人一同前來接受我的供養,請您慈悲應允!』 那位男子接受了長者的囑託,前往尊者阿那律處,頂禮問候。他向尊者稟告說:『摩那提那長者向您頂禮問候,問您是否少病少惱,起居是否安好,是否安樂?希望尊者和另外三位僧人明天中午,慈悲接受我的供養。』當時,尊者阿那律默然接受了邀請。 那位男子又把摩那提那長者的話轉告尊者阿那律:『我是俗人,有很多王家事務,不能親自前去迎接,只希望尊者和另外三位僧人明天中午,慈悲接受我的供養,請您憐憫!』 尊者阿那律陀說:『你先回去吧!我自會掌握時間,明天和另外三位僧人一同前往你家。』

English version The elder Sararo then prepared various clean and delicious foods, respectfully offering them to the World Honored One. After the World Honored One had eaten, he again gave various teachings to the elder Sararo, instructing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening him, and then rose from his seat and departed.

(1037) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Curved Valley Hermitage in the village of Narī. At that time, the elder Yeshu was seriously ill and in critical condition... (omitted here, the content is as extensively described in the 'Dhammatinna Sutra'), and eventually attained the fruit of Anagami.

(1038) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying by the side of the Kaggara Pond in the country of Champa. At that time, the elder Manadina had just recovered from an illness. The elder Manadina said to a man: 'Good man, go to the Venerable Anuruddha, bow your head to Anuruddha's feet on my behalf, and ask if he is well, if his movements are light and easy, and if he is dwelling in peace? Tomorrow, I wish to invite him and three other monks to accept my offering. If he accepts the invitation, please tell him on my behalf: 'I am a layman, and I am busy with many royal affairs, so I cannot go to greet you in person. I only hope that the Venerable One will come with three other monks to accept my offering at the appointed time, out of compassion!'' The man accepted the elder's instructions and went to the Venerable Anuruddha, bowing his head in respect. He reported to the Venerable One: 'The elder Manadina bows his head in respect and asks if you are free from illness and trouble, if your movements are light and easy, and if you are dwelling in peace? I hope that the Venerable One and three other monks will kindly accept my offering tomorrow at noon.' At that time, the Venerable Anuruddha silently accepted the invitation. The man then relayed the words of the elder Manadina to the Venerable Anuruddha: 'I am a layman, and I am busy with many royal affairs, so I cannot go to greet you in person. I only hope that the Venerable One and three other monks will kindly accept my offering tomorrow at noon, out of compassion!' The Venerable Anuruddha said: 'You may go back now! I will know the time myself, and tomorrow I will go to your house with three other monks.'


。」

時,彼士夫受尊者阿那律教,還白長者:「阿梨!當知我已詣尊者阿那律,具宣尊意。尊者阿那律言:『汝且自安,我自知時。』」

彼長者摩那提那夜辦凈美飲食。晨朝復告彼士夫:「汝往至彼尊者阿那律所,白言:『時到。』」

時,彼士夫即受教,行詣尊者阿那律所,稽首禮足,白言:「供具已辦,唯愿知時!」

時,尊者阿那律著衣持缽,通身四人詣長者舍。

時,摩那提那長者婇女圍繞,住內門左,見尊者阿那律,舉體執足敬禮,引入就坐,各別稽首,問訊起居,退坐一面。

尊者阿那律問訊長者:「堪忍安樂住不?」

長者答言:「如是,尊者!堪忍樂住。先遭疾病,當時委篤,今已蒙差。」

尊者阿那律問長者言:「汝住何住,能令疾病苦患時得除差?」

長者白言:「尊者阿那律!我住四念處,專修繫念故,身諸苦患時得休息。何等為四?謂內身身觀念住,精勤方便,正念正智,調伏世間貪憂。外身、內外身,內受、外受、內外受,內心、外心、內外心,內法、外法、內外法法觀念住,精勤方便,正念正智,調伏世間貪憂。如是,尊者阿那律!我於四念處繫心住故,身諸苦患時得休息,尊者阿那律,住故,身諸苦患時得休息

當時,那位使者接受了尊者阿那律的教導,回去告訴長者:『阿梨!您應該知道我已經去拜見了尊者阿那律,並轉達了您的意思。尊者阿那律說:「您暫且安心,我自會知道時機。」』 那位長者摩那提那當晚準備了精美的飲食。早晨,他又告訴那位使者:『你去到尊者阿那律那裡,告訴他:「時間到了。」』 當時,那位使者立即接受了教導,前往尊者阿那律那裡,頂禮他的雙足,說道:『供品已經準備好了,只等您知道時機!』 當時,尊者阿那律穿好衣服,拿著缽,和另外四個人一起前往長者的住所。 當時,摩那提那長者被侍女們圍繞著,站在內門左側,看到尊者阿那律,全身伏地行禮,恭敬地請他入座,各自頂禮,問候起居,然後退坐一旁。 尊者阿那律問候長者:『您身體安康嗎?』 長者回答說:『是的,尊者!我身體安康。之前生病,當時很嚴重,現在已經康復了。』 尊者阿那律問長者說:『您是依靠什麼方法,能夠在疾病痛苦時得以康復的呢?』 長者回答說:『尊者阿那律!我安住於四念處,專心修習繫念,所以身體的各種痛苦才能得以休息。哪四種呢?就是內身觀身而住,精勤方便,正念正智,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁。外身、內外身,內受、外受、內外受,內心、外心、內外心,內法、外法、內外法,觀法而住,精勤方便,正念正智,調伏世間的貪慾和憂愁。像這樣,尊者阿那律!我因為安住於四念處,所以身體的各種痛苦才能得以休息。尊者阿那律,因為安住於四念處,所以身體的各種痛苦才能得以休息。』

Then, that messenger, having received the instruction from the venerable Anuruddha, returned and said to the elder: 'Ari! You should know that I have already gone to see the venerable Anuruddha and conveyed your intention. The venerable Anuruddha said: 「You should be at ease, I will know the time myself.」' That elder, Manadinna, prepared fine food that night. In the morning, he again told that messenger: 'Go to the venerable Anuruddha and tell him: 「The time has come.」' Then, that messenger immediately accepted the instruction, went to the venerable Anuruddha, bowed at his feet, and said: 'The offerings are ready, only waiting for you to know the time!' Then, the venerable Anuruddha, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, went to the elder's residence with four other people. Then, the elder Manadinna, surrounded by his maidens, stood on the left side of the inner door, saw the venerable Anuruddha, prostrated himself fully in reverence, respectfully invited him to sit, each bowed, inquired about his well-being, and then sat to one side. The venerable Anuruddha inquired of the elder: 'Are you dwelling in comfort and ease?' The elder replied: 'Yes, venerable one! I am dwelling in comfort and ease. I was previously ill, and at that time it was severe, but now I have recovered.' The venerable Anuruddha asked the elder: 'By what means do you dwell, that you were able to recover from the suffering of illness?' The elder replied: 'Venerable Anuruddha! I dwell in the four foundations of mindfulness, focusing my mind on contemplation, so that the various sufferings of the body can be relieved. What are the four? They are dwelling in contemplation of the body within the body, diligently striving, with right mindfulness and right wisdom, subduing the greed and sorrow of the world. The body outside, the body within and without, the feeling within, the feeling outside, the feeling within and without, the mind within, the mind outside, the mind within and without, the dharma within, the dharma outside, the dharma within and without, dwelling in contemplation of the dharma, diligently striving, with right mindfulness and right wisdom, subduing the greed and sorrow of the world. Thus, venerable Anuruddha! Because I dwell with my mind focused on the four foundations of mindfulness, the various sufferings of the body can be relieved. Venerable Anuruddha, because I dwell in the four foundations of mindfulness, the various sufferings of the body can be relieved.'


。」

尊者阿那律告長者言:「汝今自記阿那含果。」

時,摩那提那長者以種種凈美飲食自手供養,自恣飽滿。食已,澡漱畢,摩那提那長者復坐卑床,聽說法。尊者阿那律種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,從坐起去。

(一〇三九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城金師精舍。時,有淳陀長者來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊問淳陀長者:「汝今愛樂何等沙門、婆羅門凈行?」

淳陀白佛:「有沙門、婆羅門,奉事於水,事毗濕波天,執杖澡罐,常凈其手。如是正士能善說法言:『善男子!月十五日,以胡麻屑、庵摩羅屑以澡其發,修行齋法,被著新凈長髮白㲲,牛糞塗地而臥其上。善男子!晨朝早起,以手觸地,作如是言:「此地清凈,我如是凈。」手執牛糞團並把生草,口說是言:「此是清凈,我如是凈。」若如是者,見為清凈,不如是者,永不清凈。』世尊!如是像類沙門、婆羅門,若為清凈,我所宗仰。」

佛告淳陀:「有黑法、黑報,不凈、不凈果,負重向下。成就如此諸惡法者,雖復晨朝早起,以手觸地,唱言清凈,猶是不凈;正復不觸,亦不清凈。執牛糞團,並及生草,唱言清凈,亦復不凈;正復不觸,亦不清凈

「尊者阿那律告訴長者說:『你現在可以自己記述阿那含果了。』 當時,摩那提那長者用各種乾淨美好的飲食親自供養尊者,讓他盡情飽餐。吃完飯,洗漱完畢后,摩那提那長者又坐到矮床上,聽聞佛法。尊者阿那律用各種方法說法,開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜后,就從座位起身離開了。 (一〇三九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的金師精舍。當時,有淳陀長者來到佛陀住所,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。 這時,世尊問淳陀長者:『你現在喜歡哪些沙門、婆羅門的清凈修行?』 淳陀告訴佛陀:『有些沙門、婆羅門,他們侍奉水神,侍奉毗濕波天,拿著杖和澡罐,經常保持手清潔。這些修行人能很好地說法,他們說:『善男子!在每月十五日,用芝麻屑、庵摩羅屑洗頭髮,修行齋戒,穿上新凈的長髮白布,用牛糞塗地,然後睡在上面。善男子!早晨早起,用手觸控地面,說:「這地是清凈的,我因此而清凈。」手拿著牛糞團和生草,口中說:「這是清凈的,我因此而清凈。」如果這樣做,就被認為是清凈的,如果不這樣做,就永遠不清凈。』世尊!像這樣的沙門、婆羅門,如果他們是清凈的,我就尊敬他們。』 佛陀告訴淳陀:『有黑法、黑報,不凈、不凈的果報,揹負著重擔向下沉淪。成就這些惡法的人,即使早晨早起,用手觸控地面,說自己清凈,仍然是不清凈的;即使不觸控,也是不清凈的。拿著牛糞團和生草,說自己清凈,也是不清凈的;即使不觸控,也是不清凈的。

Venerable Anuruddha said to the elder, 'You may now record for yourself the Anagami fruit.' Then, the elder Manadinna personally offered various pure and delicious foods, allowing him to eat his fill. After eating and washing up, the elder Manadinna sat on a low bed again to listen to the Dharma. Venerable Anuruddha taught the Dharma in various ways, instructing, guiding, enlightening, and gladdening him, then rose from his seat and left. (1039) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Goldsmith's Monastery in Rajagriha. At that time, the elder Chunda came to the Buddha's place, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. Then, the World-Honored One asked the elder Chunda, 'Which ascetics and Brahmins do you now admire for their pure conduct?' Chunda replied to the Buddha, 'There are some ascetics and Brahmins who serve the water deity, serve the deity Vishva, carry staffs and water pots, and always keep their hands clean. These practitioners are good at teaching, saying: 「Good man! On the fifteenth day of the month, wash your hair with sesame powder and amla powder, practice fasting, wear new, clean, long white cloth, smear the ground with cow dung, and sleep on it. Good man! In the early morning, touch the ground with your hand and say, 『This ground is pure, and I am therefore pure.』 Hold a ball of cow dung and fresh grass in your hand, and say, 『This is pure, and I am therefore pure.』 If you do this, you are considered pure; if you do not, you will never be pure.」 World-Honored One! If such ascetics and Brahmins are pure, I will respect them.' The Buddha said to Chunda, 'There are black deeds and black consequences, impurity and impure results, bearing a heavy burden downwards. Those who have achieved these evil deeds, even if they get up early in the morning, touch the ground with their hands, and say they are pure, are still impure; even if they do not touch it, they are still impure. Holding a ball of cow dung and fresh grass, and saying they are pure, they are still impure; even if they do not touch it, they are still impure.'


「淳陀!何等為黑、黑報,不凈、不凈果,負重向下,乃至觸以不觸,悉皆不凈?淳陀!謂殺生惡業,手常血腥,心常思惟撾捶殺害,無慚無愧,慳貪吝惜,於一切眾生乃至昆蟲,不離於殺。於他財物、聚落、空地,皆不離盜。行諸邪淫,若父母、兄弟、姊妹、夫主、親族,乃至授花鬘者,如是等護,以力強幹,不離邪淫。不實妄語,或於王家、真實言家、多眾聚集,求當言處,作不實說,不見言見,見言不見,不聞言聞,聞言不聞,知言不知,不知言知,因自因他,或因財利,知而妄語,而不捨離,是名妄語。兩舌乖離,傳此向彼,傳彼向此,遍相破壞,令和合者離,離者歡喜,是名兩舌。不離惡口罵,若人軟語說,悅耳心喜,方正易知,樂聞無依說,多人愛念,適意、隨順三昧。舍如是等,而作剛強,多人所惡,不愛、不適意、不順三昧說。如是等言,不離粗澀,是名噁心。綺飾壞語,不時言、不實言、無義言、非法言、不思言,如是等,名壞語。

「不捨離貪,於他財物而起貪慾,言:『此物我有者好。』不捨瞋恚弊惡,心思惟言:『彼眾生應縛、應鞭、應伏、應殺。』欲為生難

現代漢語譯本 『淳陀!什麼是黑色的行為,導致黑色的報應,不凈的行為,導致不凈的結果,負重向下,乃至接觸或不接觸,都完全是不凈的呢?淳陀!那就是殺生的惡業,雙手常常沾滿血腥,心中常常想著毆打、殺害,沒有羞恥和慚愧,吝嗇貪婪,對於一切眾生乃至昆蟲,都不停止殺戮。對於他人的財物、村落、空地,都不停止偷盜。進行各種邪淫,無論是父母、兄弟、姐妹、丈夫、親族,乃至是贈送花環的人,像這樣受到保護的人,都用強力侵犯,不停止邪淫。說不真實的妄語,或者在王家、說實話的人家、眾人聚集的地方,在需要說話的時候,說不真實的話,沒看見說看見,看見說沒看見,沒聽見說聽見,聽見說沒聽見,知道說不知道,不知道說知道,因為自己、因為他人,或者因為財利,明明知道卻說妄語,而不停止,這叫做妄語。用兩舌挑撥離間,把這裡的話傳到那裡,把那裡的話傳到這裡,到處破壞關係,使和睦的人分離,使分離的人高興,這叫做兩舌。不停止惡語謾罵,如果有人用柔和的語言說話,悅耳動聽,讓人心生歡喜,正直易懂,樂於聽聞,沒有偏頗,很多人都喜歡,讓人感到舒適、順應三昧。卻捨棄這些,而說剛強的話,很多人都厭惡,不喜歡,不舒適,不順應三昧。像這樣的話,不停止粗俗澀口,這叫做噁心。用花言巧語敗壞語言,不說時宜的話,不說真實的話,說沒有意義的話,說不合法的話,不說經過思考的話,像這樣,叫做壞語。 『不停止貪婪,對於他人的財物產生貪慾,說:『這東西要是我的就好了。』不停止嗔恨和邪惡,心中想著:『那些眾生應該被捆綁、鞭打、制服、殺害。』想要給眾生製造困難。

English version 『Chunda! What is black action, leading to black retribution, impure action, leading to impure results, weighing downwards, such that whether touching or not touching, all is entirely impure? Chunda! It is the evil karma of killing, hands constantly stained with blood, the mind constantly thinking of beating and killing, without shame or remorse, stingy and greedy, not ceasing from killing all living beings, even insects. Regarding the property of others, villages, and empty lands, not ceasing from stealing. Engaging in various forms of sexual misconduct, whether with parents, brothers, sisters, husbands, relatives, or even those who offer garlands, those who are protected in such ways, using force to violate them, not ceasing from sexual misconduct. Speaking untruthful lies, whether in the royal court, among truthful families, or in gatherings of many people, when there is a need to speak, speaking untruthfully, saying 'I have seen' when not seen, 'I have not seen' when seen, 'I have heard' when not heard, 'I have not heard' when heard, 'I know' when not knowing, 'I do not know' when knowing, because of oneself, because of others, or because of material gain, knowingly speaking lies, and not ceasing, this is called lying. Using divisive speech, carrying tales from here to there, from there to here, destroying relationships everywhere, causing those who are in harmony to separate, and making those who are separated happy, this is called divisive speech. Not ceasing from abusive language, if someone speaks with gentle words, pleasing to the ear, making people happy, upright and easy to understand, pleasant to hear, without bias, loved by many, making people feel comfortable and in accordance with samadhi. Yet abandoning these, and speaking harsh words, which many people dislike, are not fond of, are not comfortable with, and are not in accordance with samadhi. Such words, not ceasing from being coarse and rough, this is called evil-mindedness. Using flowery language to corrupt speech, speaking out of time, speaking untruthfully, speaking meaningless words, speaking unlawful words, speaking without thinking, like this, is called corrupt speech.』 『Not ceasing from greed, developing greed for the property of others, saying: 『If only this thing were mine.』 Not ceasing from hatred and evil, thinking in the mind: 『Those beings should be bound, whipped, subdued, and killed.』 Wanting to create difficulties for beings.


。不捨邪見顛倒,如是見、如是說:『無施、無報、無福,無善行惡行、無善惡業果報,無此世、無他世,無父母、無眾生生世間,無世阿羅漢等趣等向此世他世自知作證:「我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。」』淳陀!是名黑、黑報,不凈、不凈果,乃至觸以不觸,皆悉不凈。

「淳陀!有白、白報,凈有、凈果,輕仙上升,成就已,晨朝觸地,此凈我凈者,亦得清凈;若不觸者,亦得清凈,把牛糞團,手執生草,凈因凈果者,執與不執,亦得清凈。

「淳陀!何等為白、白報,乃至執以不執,亦得清凈?謂有人不殺生,離殺生,舍刀杖,慚愧,悲念一切眾生。不偷盜,遠離偷盜,與者取,不與不取,凈心不貪。離於邪淫,若父母護,乃至授一花鬘者,悉不強幹起于邪淫,離於妄語,審諦實說,遠離兩舌,不傳此向彼,傳彼向此,共相破壞,離者令和,和者隨喜,遠離惡口,不剛強,多人樂其所說。離於壞語,諦說、時說、實說、義說、法說、見說。離於貪慾,不於他財、他眾具作己有想,而生貪著,離於瞋恚,不作是念:『撾打縛殺,為作眾難

現代漢語譯本:不捨棄邪惡的見解和顛倒的認知,像這樣認為、像這樣宣說:『沒有佈施,沒有報應,沒有福德,沒有善行惡行,沒有善惡業的果報,沒有今生,沒有來世,沒有父母,沒有眾生在世間出生,世間沒有阿羅漢等覺悟者能夠親自證知並宣稱:「我的生死已經終結,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不再有來世。」』淳陀!這被稱為黑業、黑報,不凈的因、不凈的果,乃至接觸與不接觸,都完全是不清凈的。 淳陀!有白業、白報,清凈的因、清凈的果,輕盈地像仙人一樣上升,成就之後,早晨接觸地面,認為自己清凈的人,也會得到清凈;如果不接觸地面,也會得到清凈。拿著牛糞團,手執生草,認為清凈的因和清凈的果的人,執持或不執持,也都會得到清凈。 淳陀!什麼是白業、白報,乃至執持或不執持,也都會得到清凈呢?就是有人不殺生,遠離殺生,放下刀杖,心懷慚愧,悲憫一切眾生。不偷盜,遠離偷盜,別人給的才拿,不給的不拿,內心清凈不貪婪。遠離邪淫,對於父母守護的,乃至只授一朵花環的,都不強行發生邪淫。遠離妄語,真實誠實地說,遠離兩舌,不把這裡的話傳到那裡,也不把那裡的話傳到這裡,破壞彼此的關係,使離散的人和好,使和好的人更加歡喜。遠離惡口,不剛強,眾人喜歡他所說的話。遠離無意義的言語,說真實的話、適時的話、符合實際的話、有意義的話、符合佛法的話、符合見解的話。遠離貪慾,不把別人的財產、別人的用具當作自己的,而產生貪婪執著。遠離嗔恨,不產生這樣的念頭:『毆打、捆綁、殺害,給他們製造各種困難』。

English version: Not abandoning wrong views and distorted perceptions, thinking and saying like this: 『There is no giving, no recompense, no merit, no good or bad actions, no karmic results of good or bad deeds, no this world, no other world, no parents, no beings born into the world, and no enlightened ones like Arhats in the world who can personally know and declare: 「My birth is ended, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.」』 Chunda! This is called black karma, black result, impure cause, impure effect, and whether one touches or does not touch, it is all impure. Chunda! There is white karma, white result, pure cause, pure effect, rising lightly like a celestial being, and after achieving this, touching the ground in the morning, those who consider themselves pure will also attain purity; and if they do not touch the ground, they will also attain purity. Holding a ball of cow dung, holding fresh grass in their hands, those who believe in pure cause and pure effect, whether they hold or do not hold, will also attain purity. Chunda! What is white karma, white result, such that whether one holds or does not hold, one will attain purity? It is when someone does not kill, refrains from killing, lays down weapons, feels shame, and has compassion for all beings. They do not steal, refrain from stealing, take only what is given, do not take what is not given, and have a pure heart without greed. They refrain from sexual misconduct, and even if a woman is protected by her parents, or even if she only offers a flower garland, they do not force themselves upon her. They refrain from false speech, speak truthfully and honestly, refrain from divisive speech, do not carry tales from here to there or from there to here, destroying relationships, reconciling those who are separated, and making those who are reconciled even happier. They refrain from harsh speech, are not rigid, and people like what they say. They refrain from meaningless speech, speak truthfully, at the right time, factually, meaningfully, in accordance with the Dharma, and in accordance with their understanding. They refrain from greed, do not consider the property or possessions of others as their own, and do not become greedy and attached. They refrain from hatred, and do not think: 『I will beat, bind, kill, and create various difficulties for them.』


。』正見成就,不顛倒見,有施、有說報、有福,有善惡行果報,有此世,有父母、有眾生生,有世阿羅漢於此世他世現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』淳陀!是名白、白報,乃至觸與不觸,皆悉清凈。」

爾時,淳陀長者聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城金師精舍。

時,有異婆羅門於十五日,洗頭已,受齋法,被新長髮白㲲,手執生草,來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面。

爾時,佛告婆羅門:「汝洗頭被新長髮白㲲,是誰家法?」

婆羅門白佛:「瞿曇!是學舍法。」

佛告婆羅門:「云何婆羅門舍法?」

婆羅門白佛言:「瞿曇!如是十五日,洗頭受持法齋,著新凈長髮白㲲,手執生草,隨力所能,佈施作福。瞿曇!是名婆羅門修行舍行。」

佛告婆羅門:「賢聖法、律所行舍行異於此也。」

婆羅門白佛:「瞿曇!云何為賢聖法、律所行舍行?」

佛告婆羅門:「謂離殺生,不樂殺生……」如前清凈分廣說。「依于不殺,舍離殺生……」乃至如前清凈分廣說。「離偷盜,不樂於盜,依于不盜,舍不與取

現代漢語譯本:'正見成就,就是不顛倒的見解,相信佈施、善行和福報的存在,相信善惡行為會有相應的果報,相信有今生,有父母,有眾生輪迴,相信世間有阿羅漢能在此生此世親身證悟:『我的生死輪迴已經結束,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的已經做完,我自知不會再有來生。』淳陀!這叫做清凈的因,清凈的果報,乃至接觸與不接觸,都是清凈的。' 當時,淳陀長者聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (一〇四〇) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城金匠的精舍。 當時,有一位婆羅門在十五日這天,洗完頭,受持齋戒,披著新長的白色細毛布,手裡拿著新鮮的草,來到佛陀所在的地方,與世尊互相問候慰勞后,退坐在一旁。 這時,佛陀問婆羅門:『你洗頭,披著新長的白色細毛布,這是哪一家的習俗?』 婆羅門回答佛陀:『瞿曇!這是學舍的習俗。』 佛陀問婆羅門:『婆羅門學舍的習俗是怎樣的?』 婆羅門回答佛陀說:『瞿曇!像這樣在十五日,洗頭受持齋戒,穿著新凈的長髮白細毛布,手裡拿著新鮮的草,儘自己的能力,佈施作福。瞿曇!這叫做婆羅門修行的舍行。』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『賢聖的法和戒律所行的舍行與此不同。』 婆羅門問佛陀:『瞿曇!什麼是賢聖的法和戒律所行的舍行?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『就是遠離殺生,不喜好殺生……』如同前面清凈部分所詳細說的。『依于不殺,舍離殺生……』乃至如同前面清凈部分所詳細說的。『遠離偷盜,不喜好偷盜,依于不盜,捨棄不予而取……』

English version: 'Right view is accomplished, not inverted view, there is giving, there is the result of speaking, there is merit, there is the result of good and bad actions, there is this world, there are parents, there are sentient beings born, there are world Arhats in this world and the other world who realize and testify for themselves: 『My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what has to be done is done, I know for myself that I will not have another existence.』 Chunda! This is called white, white retribution, even contact and non-contact, all are pure.' At that time, the elder Chunda heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed and left. (1040) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the goldsmith's monastery in Rajagriha. At that time, there was a certain Brahmin who, on the fifteenth day, having washed his head, observed the fast, wearing a new long white wool cloth, holding fresh grass in his hand, came to the place where the Buddha was, and after greeting and consoling the World Honored One, sat down to one side. Then, the Buddha said to the Brahmin: 'You have washed your head and are wearing a new long white wool cloth, whose custom is this?' The Brahmin replied to the Buddha: 'Gautama! This is the custom of the hermitage.' The Buddha asked the Brahmin: 'What is the custom of the Brahmin hermitage?' The Brahmin replied to the Buddha: 'Gautama! On the fifteenth day, like this, having washed the head and observed the fast, wearing a new clean long white wool cloth, holding fresh grass in the hand, giving alms and making merit to the best of one's ability. Gautama! This is called the Brahmin's practice of giving.' The Buddha said to the Brahmin: 'The practice of giving in the noble Dharma and discipline is different from this.' The Brahmin asked the Buddha: 'Gautama! What is the practice of giving in the noble Dharma and discipline?' The Buddha said to the Brahmin: 'It is to abstain from killing, not to delight in killing...' as explained in detail in the previous section on purity. 'Based on not killing, abandoning killing...' and so on, as explained in detail in the previous section on purity. 'Abstaining from stealing, not delighting in stealing, based on not stealing, abandoning taking what is not given...'


。離諸邪淫,不樂邪淫,依于不淫,舍非梵行。離於妄語,不樂妄語,依不妄語,舍不實言。離諸兩舌,不樂兩舌,依不兩舌,舍別離行。離於惡口,不樂惡口,依不惡口,舍于粗言。離諸綺語,不樂綺語,依不綺語,舍無義言。斷除貪慾,遠離苦貪,依無貪心,舍于愛著。斷除瞋恚,不生忿恨,依于無恚,舍彼瞋恨。修習正見,不起顛倒,依于正見,舍彼邪見。婆羅門!是名賢聖法、律所行舍行。」

婆羅門白佛:「善哉!瞿曇賢聖法、律所行舍行。」

時,婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起去。

(一〇四一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有生聞梵志來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!我有親族,極所愛念,忽然命終,我為彼故,信心佈施。云何?世尊!彼得受不?」

佛告婆羅門:「非一向得。若汝親族生地獄中者,得彼地獄眾生食,以活其命,不得汝所信施飲食;若生畜生、餓鬼、人中者,得彼人中飲食,不得汝所施者。婆羅門!餓鬼趣中有一處,名為入處餓鬼,若汝親族生彼入處餓鬼中者,得汝施食

This is called the practice of abandonment performed in accordance with the noble Dharma and discipline. The Brahmin said to the Buddha, 'Excellent, Gautama, is the practice of abandonment performed in accordance with the noble Dharma and discipline.' Then, the Brahmin, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, and rose from his seat and departed. (1041) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagaha. Then, a Brahmin named Sanuvana came to the place where the Buddha was, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the Blessed One, sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Gautama! I had a relative whom I loved and cherished very much, and he suddenly passed away. For his sake, I have made offerings with faith. Now, Blessed One, will he receive these offerings?' The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'It is not certain that he will receive them. If your relative is born in hell, he will receive the food of the beings in hell to sustain his life, and he will not receive the food you have offered. If he is born among animals, hungry ghosts, or humans, he will receive the food of that realm, and he will not receive what you have offered. Brahmin! There is a place in the realm of hungry ghosts called the 'place of entry' hungry ghosts. If your relative is born among those 'place of entry' hungry ghosts, he will receive the food you have offered.'


。」

婆羅門白佛:「若我親族不生入處餓鬼趣中者,我信施,誰應食之?」

佛告婆羅門:「若汝所可為信施親族不生入處餓鬼趣者,要有餘親族知識生入處餓鬼趣中者,得食之。」

婆羅門白佛:「瞿曇!若我所為信施親族不生入處餓鬼趣中,亦無更余親族知識生入處餓鬼趣者,此信施食,誰當食之?」

佛告婆羅門:「設使所為施親族知識不生入處餓鬼趣中,復無諸餘知識生餓鬼者,且信施而自得其福,彼施者所作信施,而彼施者不失達嚫。」

婆羅門白佛:「云何施者行施,施者得彼達嚫?」

佛告婆羅門:「有人殺生行惡,手常血腥,乃至十不善業跡……」如淳陀修多羅廣說,「而復施諸沙門、婆羅門,乃至貧窮、乞士,悉施錢財、衣被、飲食、燈明、諸莊嚴具。婆羅門!彼惠施主若復犯戒,生象中者,以彼曾施沙門、婆羅門錢財、衣被、飲食,乃至莊嚴眾具故,雖在象中,亦得受彼施報,衣服、飲食,乃至種種莊嚴眾具。

「若復生牛、馬、驢、騾等種種畜生趣中,以本施惠功德,悉受其報,隨彼生處所應受用,皆悉得之

現代漢語譯本:婆羅門問佛陀:『如果我的親族沒有投生到餓鬼道中,我所佈施的食物,應該由誰來享用呢?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『如果你的親族沒有投生到餓鬼道,那麼如果有其他親族或認識的人投生到餓鬼道,他們就可以享用。』 婆羅門問佛陀:『瞿曇!如果我的親族沒有投生到餓鬼道,也沒有其他親族或認識的人投生到餓鬼道,那麼這些佈施的食物,應該由誰來享用呢?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『即使你所佈施的親族和認識的人都沒有投生到餓鬼道,也沒有其他投生到餓鬼道的人,那麼佈施者自己也會得到福報,佈施者所做的佈施,不會失去功德。』 婆羅門問佛陀:『佈施者如何行佈施,才能得到功德呢?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『如果有人殺生作惡,手上沾滿血腥,甚至犯下十種不善業……』就像淳陀經中詳細描述的那樣,『然後又佈施給沙門、婆羅門,甚至貧窮的乞丐,佈施錢財、衣服、飲食、燈具、各種裝飾品。婆羅門!這位佈施的主人如果犯戒,投生到象中,因為他曾經佈施給沙門、婆羅門錢財、衣服、飲食,乃至各種裝飾品,即使在象中,也能得到佈施的果報,獲得衣服、飲食,乃至各種裝飾品。 『如果投生到牛、馬、驢、騾等各種畜生道中,也會因為之前的佈施功德,得到相應的果報,根據投生之處所應享用的,都能得到。』

English version: The Brahmin asked the Buddha, 'If my relatives are not born into the realm of hungry ghosts, who should receive the food I have given in charity?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'If your relatives are not born into the realm of hungry ghosts, then if there are other relatives or acquaintances who are born into the realm of hungry ghosts, they can receive it.' The Brahmin asked the Buddha, 'Gautama! If my relatives are not born into the realm of hungry ghosts, and there are no other relatives or acquaintances born into the realm of hungry ghosts, then who should receive this charitable food?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'Even if the relatives and acquaintances you have given charity to are not born into the realm of hungry ghosts, and there are no others born into the realm of hungry ghosts, then the giver will receive the merit themselves. The charity that the giver has done will not lose its merit.' The Brahmin asked the Buddha, 'How does a giver perform charity so that they can receive merit?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'If someone kills and does evil, their hands are stained with blood, and they even commit the ten unwholesome deeds...' as described in detail in the Chunda Sutra, 'and then they give charity to monks, Brahmins, and even poor beggars, giving money, clothes, food, lamps, and various ornaments. Brahmin! If this giver breaks the precepts and is born as an elephant, because they previously gave money, clothes, food, and various ornaments to monks and Brahmins, even as an elephant, they will receive the reward of their charity, obtaining clothes, food, and various ornaments. 'If they are born into various animal realms such as cows, horses, donkeys, and mules, they will also receive the corresponding rewards due to their previous charitable deeds, and they will receive what they should receive according to where they are born.'


。婆羅門!若復施主持戒,不殺、不盜,乃至正見,佈施諸沙門、婆羅門乃至乞士錢財、衣服、飲食,乃至燈明,緣斯功德,生人道中,坐受其報,衣被、飲食,乃至燈明眾具。

「複次,婆羅門!若復持戒生天上者,彼諸惠施天上受報,財寶、衣服、飲食,乃至莊嚴眾具。婆羅門!是名施者行施,施者受達嚫,果報不失。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅國人間遊行,住鞞羅磨聚落北身恕林中。

鞞羅聚落婆羅門長者聞世尊住聚落北身恕林中,聞已,共相招集,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!何因、何緣有眾生身壞命終,生地獄中?」

佛告諸婆羅門長者:「行非法行、行危險行因緣故,身壞命終,生地獄中。」諸婆羅門長者白佛:「行何等非法行、危險行,身壞命終,生地獄中?」

佛告婆羅門長者:「殺生,乃至邪見,具足十不善業因緣故。婆羅門!是非法行、危險行,身壞命終,生地獄中。」

婆羅門白佛:「何因緣諸眾生身壞命終,得生天上?」

佛告婆羅門長者:「行法行、行正行,以是因緣故,身壞命終,得生天上

現代漢語譯本:婆羅門啊!如果施主能夠持守戒律,不殺生、不偷盜,乃至具有正見,並且佈施給各種沙門、婆羅門,甚至乞丐錢財、衣服、飲食,乃至燈火照明,憑藉這些功德,他會轉生到人道中,安坐享受其果報,得到衣服、飲食,乃至各種燈火照明的用具。 此外,婆羅門啊!如果持戒的人轉生到天上,他們所做的佈施會在天上得到回報,獲得財寶、衣服、飲食,乃至各種莊嚴的用具。婆羅門啊!這叫做施者行佈施,施者得到供養,果報不會失落。 當時,生聞婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去。 (一〇四二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀在拘薩羅國的人間游化,住在鞞羅磨聚落北邊的身恕林中。 鞞羅聚落的婆羅門長者們聽說世尊住在聚落北邊的身恕林中,聽聞后,他們互相召集,前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!是什麼原因、什麼緣故,使得眾生身壞命終后,會墮入地獄之中?』 佛陀告訴各位婆羅門長者:『因為做了非法的事情、做了危險的事情,所以身壞命終后,會墮入地獄之中。』各位婆羅門長者問佛陀:『做了什麼樣的非法事情、危險事情,身壞命終后,會墮入地獄之中呢?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門長者:『殺生,乃至邪見,具足這十種不善業的因緣。婆羅門啊!這就是非法的事情、危險的事情,身壞命終后,會墮入地獄之中。』 婆羅門問佛陀:『是什麼因緣使得眾生身壞命終后,能夠轉生到天上呢?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門長者:『因為做了合法的事情、做了正當的事情,所以身壞命終后,能夠轉生到天上。』

English version: O Brahmin! If a donor observes precepts, refraining from killing, stealing, and even holding right views, and gives to various ascetics, Brahmins, and even beggars money, clothes, food, and even lamps for illumination, by virtue of these merits, they will be reborn in the human realm, sitting and receiving their rewards, obtaining clothes, food, and even various implements for illumination. Furthermore, O Brahmin! If those who observe precepts are reborn in the heavens, their acts of giving will be rewarded in the heavens, obtaining treasures, clothes, food, and even various adornments. O Brahmin! This is called the giver performing giving, the giver receiving offerings, and the karmic results will not be lost. At that time, the Brahmin Sravana, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised it, and rose from his seat and departed. (1042) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the human realm of the Kosala country, residing in the Shinsu Grove north of the village of Verama. The Brahmin elders of the village of Verama, having heard that the World Honored One was residing in the Shinsu Grove north of the village, gathered together and went to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! What is the cause, what is the reason, that beings, after the destruction of their bodies and the end of their lives, fall into hell?' The Buddha told the Brahmin elders: 'Because of engaging in unlawful actions and dangerous actions, after the destruction of their bodies and the end of their lives, they fall into hell.' The Brahmin elders asked the Buddha: 'What kind of unlawful actions and dangerous actions, after the destruction of their bodies and the end of their lives, cause them to fall into hell?' The Buddha told the Brahmin elders: 'Killing, and even holding wrong views, fulfilling the causes of these ten unwholesome actions. O Brahmin! These are unlawful actions and dangerous actions, and after the destruction of their bodies and the end of their lives, they fall into hell.' The Brahmins asked the Buddha: 'What is the cause that beings, after the destruction of their bodies and the end of their lives, are able to be reborn in the heavens?' The Buddha told the Brahmin elders: 'Because of engaging in lawful actions and righteous actions, after the destruction of their bodies and the end of their lives, they are able to be reborn in the heavens.'

復問:「世尊!行何等法行、何等正行,身壞命終,得生天上?」

English version: Again he asked: 'World-Honored One! By practicing what kind of Dharma practice and what kind of right practice, will one be reborn in heaven after the body breaks and life ends?' The Buddha told the Brahmin elder: 'It is said that by abstaining from killing, and so on, up to right view, these ten wholesome karma paths, one will be reborn in heaven after the body breaks and life ends. Brahmin elder! If someone practices this Dharma practice and this right practice, and wishes to be reborn into a great Kshatriya family, a great Brahmin family, or a great householder family, they will all be reborn as they wish. Why is that? Because of the causes and conditions of Dharma practice and right practice.' 'If one also wishes to be reborn in the Heaven of the Four Kings, the Thirty-three Heavens, or even the Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven, they will all be reborn as they wish. Why is that? Because of Dharma practice and right practice. Those who practice pure precepts will naturally achieve their heart's desires.' 'If those who practice Dharma practice and right practice in this way wish to be reborn in the Brahma Heaven, they will also be reborn as they wish. Why is that? Because by practicing right practice and Dharma practice, maintaining pure precepts, and having a mind free from desire, their wishes will surely be fulfilled.' 'If one also wishes to be reborn in the Abhasvara Heaven, the Subhakrtsna Heaven, or even the Akanistha Heaven, it is also the same. Why is that? Because they maintain pure precepts and their minds are free from desire.' 'If one also wishes to be free from desire, evil and unwholesome dharmas, with initial and sustained thought, and even to fully abide in the fourth dhyana, they will all achieve it. Why is that? Because of their Dharma practice and right practice, maintaining pure precepts, and having a mind free from desire, their wishes will surely be fulfilled.' 'Wishing to attain loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, the sphere of infinite space, the sphere of infinite consciousness, the sphere of nothingness, and the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, all can be attained. Why is that? Because of Dharma practice and right practice, maintaining pure precepts, and having a mind free from desire, their wishes will surely be fulfilled.' 'Wishing to sever the three fetters, attain the fruits of Srotapanna, Sakrdagamin, and Anagamin, as well as immeasurable supernormal powers, the divine ear, the knowledge of others' minds, the knowledge of past lives, the knowledge of the cycle of birth and death, and the knowledge of the extinction of outflows, all can be attained.'


。所以者何?以法行、正行故,持戒、離欲,所愿必得。」

時,婆羅門長者聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一〇四三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅國人間遊行,住鞞羅磨聚落北身恕林中。

時,鞞羅磨聚落中,婆羅門長者聞世尊住鞞羅磨聚落身恕林中,聞已,乘白馬車,多將翼從,持金斗、傘蓋、金澡瓶,出鞞羅磨聚落,詣身恕林。至道口,下車步進,入于園門,至世尊前,面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!何因、何緣有人命終生地獄中,乃至生天?……」如上修多羅廣說。

時,鞞羅磨婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起而去。

(一〇四四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在拘薩羅人間遊行,至鞞紐多羅聚落北身恕林中住。鞞紐多羅聚落婆羅門長者聞世尊住聚落北身恕林中,聞已,共相招引,往詣身恕林,至世尊所,面相慰勞已,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告婆羅門長者:「我當爲說自通之法。諦聽,善思。何等自通之法?謂聖弟子作如是學:『我作是念:「若有欲殺我者,我不喜;我若所不喜,他亦如是。云何殺彼?」作是覺已,受不殺生,不樂殺生……』」如上說

現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?因為依法修行、正直修行,持守戒律、遠離慾望,所希望的必定能夠實現。 當時,婆羅門長者聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (一〇四三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀在拘薩羅國游化人間,住在鞞羅磨聚落北邊的身恕林中。 當時,鞞羅磨聚落中的婆羅門長者聽聞世尊住在鞞羅磨聚落的身恕林中,聽聞后,乘坐白色馬車,帶領眾多隨從,拿著金斗、傘蓋、金澡瓶,從鞞羅磨聚落出發,前往身恕林。到達道路入口,下車步行進入園門,來到世尊面前,互相問候慰勞后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇!是什麼原因、什麼緣故有人命終后墮入地獄,乃至升到天上?』……如同上面的經文所詳細敘述。 當時,鞞羅磨婆羅門聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位起身離去。 (一〇四四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在拘薩羅國游化人間,到達鞞紐多羅聚落北邊的身恕林中居住。鞞紐多羅聚落的婆羅門長者聽聞世尊住在聚落北邊的身恕林中,聽聞后,互相邀請,一同前往身恕林,來到世尊處,互相慰問后,退坐在一旁。 當時,世尊告訴婆羅門長者:『我將為你們講述自我通達的方法。仔細聽,好好思考。什麼是自我通達的方法呢?就是聖弟子這樣學習:『我這樣想:「如果有想要殺我的人,我不喜歡;我所不喜歡的事情,別人也是如此。怎麼能殺害他們呢?」』產生這樣的覺悟后,接受不殺生,不樂於殺生……』如同上面所說。

English version: What is the reason for this? It is because of practicing according to the Dharma, practicing righteously, upholding the precepts, and being free from desires, that what is wished for will surely be attained. At that time, the Brahmin elder, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, paid his respects, and departed. (1043) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the human realm of Kosala, dwelling in the Shinsu Grove north of the village of Bherama. At that time, a Brahmin elder from the village of Bherama, having heard that the World Honored One was dwelling in the Shinsu Grove in the village of Bherama, having heard this, rode in a white horse-drawn carriage, bringing many attendants, carrying a golden bowl, a parasol, and a golden water pitcher, left the village of Bherama, and went to the Shinsu Grove. Upon reaching the entrance to the path, he got out of the carriage and walked into the garden gate, came before the World Honored One, exchanged greetings and words of comfort, then sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Gautama! What is the cause, what is the reason that some people, upon dying, are born in hell, and others are born in heaven?'...as described in detail in the sutra above. At that time, the Brahmin of Bherama, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, rose from his seat, and departed. (1044) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the human realm of Kosala, residing in the Shinsu Grove north of the village of Bhenutara. The Brahmin elders of the village of Bhenutara, having heard that the World Honored One was dwelling in the Shinsu Grove north of the village, having heard this, invited each other, and together went to the Shinsu Grove, came to the place of the World Honored One, exchanged greetings and words of comfort, then sat down to one side. At that time, the World Honored One said to the Brahmin elders: 'I will now explain to you the method of self-realization. Listen carefully, and contemplate well. What is the method of self-realization? It is that a noble disciple learns thus: 'I think to myself: 「If there is someone who wants to kill me, I would not like it; what I do not like, others are the same. How can I kill them?」』 Having this realization, one accepts not killing, and does not delight in killing...' as described above.


。「我若不喜人盜於我,他亦不喜,我云何盜他?是故持不盜戒,不樂於盜……」如上說。「我既不喜人侵我妻,他亦不喜,我今云何侵人妻婦?是故受持不他淫戒……」如上說。「我尚不喜為人所欺,他亦如是,云何欺他?是故受持不妄語戒……」如上說。「我尚不喜他人離我親友,他亦如是,我今云何離他親友?是故不行兩舌。我尚不喜人加粗言,他亦如是,云何於他而起罵辱?是故於他不行惡口……」如上說。「我尚不喜人作綺語,他亦如是,云何於他而作綺語?是故於他不行綺飾……」如上說。「如是七種,名為聖戒。

「又復于佛不壞凈成就,於法、僧不壞凈成就,是名聖弟子四不壞凈成就。自現前觀察,能自記說:『我地獄盡,畜生、餓鬼盡,一切惡趣盡,得須陀洹,不墮惡趣法,決定正向三菩提,七有天人往生,究竟苦邊。』」

時,鞞紐聚落婆羅門長者聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起而去。

(一〇四五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有相習近法。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。何等為相習近法?謂殺生者、殺生者習近,盜、淫、妄語、兩舌、惡口、綺語、貪、恚、邪見,各各隨類更相習近

現代漢語譯本:'如果我不喜歡別人偷我的東西,別人也不喜歡,我怎麼能偷別人的東西呢?所以要持不盜戒,不樂於偷盜……'如上所說。'既然我不喜歡別人侵犯我的妻子,別人也不喜歡,我怎麼能侵犯別人的妻子呢?所以要受持不邪淫戒……'如上所說。'我尚且不喜歡被人欺騙,別人也一樣,我怎麼能欺騙別人呢?所以要受持不妄語戒……'如上所說。'我尚且不喜歡別人離間我的親友,別人也一樣,我怎麼能離間別人的親友呢?所以不行兩舌。我尚且不喜歡別人說粗暴的話,別人也一樣,我怎麼能對別人謾罵侮辱呢?所以不對別人說惡語……'如上所說。'我尚且不喜歡別人說花言巧語,別人也一樣,我怎麼能對別人說花言巧語呢?所以不對別人說綺語……'如上所說。'這七種,稱為聖戒。' '又對佛有不壞的清凈成就,對法、僧有不壞的清凈成就,這稱為聖弟子四不壞的清凈成就。自己現前觀察,能自己記說:'我的地獄已經盡了,畜生、餓鬼已經盡了,一切惡道已經盡了,得到須陀洹果,不墮惡道之法,決定正向三菩提,七次往生天人,最終達到苦的盡頭。'' 當時,鞞紐聚落的婆羅門長者聽到佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位上起身離去。 (一〇四五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:'有互相習近的法。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。什麼是互相習近的法呢?就是殺生的人與殺生的人互相習近,偷盜、邪淫、妄語、兩舌、惡口、綺語、貪婪、嗔恚、邪見,各自隨其類別互相習近。'

English version: 'If I do not like others stealing from me, they also do not like it, how can I steal from others? Therefore, one should uphold the precept of not stealing, not delighting in stealing...' as said above. 'Since I do not like others violating my wife, others also do not like it, how can I violate others' wives? Therefore, one should uphold the precept of not committing adultery...' as said above. 'I do not like being deceived, and others are the same, how can I deceive others? Therefore, one should uphold the precept of not lying...' as said above. 'I do not like others separating me from my relatives and friends, and others are the same, how can I separate others from their relatives and friends? Therefore, one should not engage in divisive speech. I do not like others using harsh words, and others are the same, how can I use abusive language towards others? Therefore, one should not use harsh words towards others...' as said above. 'I do not like others using frivolous language, and others are the same, how can I use frivolous language towards others? Therefore, one should not engage in frivolous speech towards others...' as said above. 'These seven are called the noble precepts.' 'Furthermore, one has achieved unshakeable purity in the Buddha, unshakeable purity in the Dharma, and unshakeable purity in the Sangha. This is called the four unshakeable purities achieved by a noble disciple. Observing for oneself, one can declare: 'My hell is exhausted, my animal realm and hungry ghost realm are exhausted, all evil realms are exhausted, I have attained the state of a Stream-enterer, I will not fall into evil realms, I am definitely heading towards enlightenment, I will be reborn as a deva or human seven times, and I will ultimately reach the end of suffering.' At that time, the Brahmin elder of the village of Bhenyu, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and, with a joyful heart, rose from his seat and departed. (1045) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks: 'There are laws of association. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain them to you. What are the laws of association? Those who kill associate with those who kill, those who steal, commit adultery, lie, engage in divisive speech, use harsh words, use frivolous language, are greedy, are hateful, and have wrong views, each according to their kind, associate with each other.'


。譬如不凈物、不凈物自相和合。如是,殺生、殺生,乃至邪見、邪見自相習近。如是,比丘!不殺生、不殺生相習近,乃至正見、正見更相習近。譬如凈物、凈物自相和合,乳生酪,酪生酥,酥生醍醐,醍醐自相和合。如是,不殺、不殺更相習近,乃至正見、正見更相習近,是名比丘相習近法。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有蛇行法。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。何等為蛇行法?謂殺生惡行,手常血腥,乃至十不善業跡……」如前淳陀修多羅廣說。「彼當爾時,身蛇行、口蛇行、意蛇行;彼如是身、口、意蛇行已,于其二趣向一一趣,若地獄、若畜生。蛇行眾生?謂蛇、鼠、貓、貍等腹行眾生,是名蛇行法。

「云何非蛇行法?謂不殺生,乃至正見……」如前淳陀修多羅十業跡廣說,「是名非蛇行法。身非蛇行、口非蛇行、意非蛇行,于其二趣生一一趣,若天上、若人中,是名非蛇行法。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇四七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:例如,不潔之物與不潔之物相互結合。同樣,殺生與殺生,乃至邪見與邪見相互親近。同樣,比丘們!不殺生與不殺生相互親近,乃至正見與正見相互親近。例如,潔凈之物與潔凈之物相互結合,乳產生酪,酪產生酥,酥產生醍醐,醍醐相互結合。同樣,不殺生與不殺生相互親近,乃至正見與正見相互親近,這被稱為比丘的相互親近之法。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一〇四六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有蛇行之法。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。什麼是蛇行之法?就是殺生的惡行,手上常常沾滿血腥,乃至十種不善業的痕跡……』如同前面淳陀經所廣說的那樣。『那時,他的身體像蛇一樣行動,口像蛇一樣說話,意念像蛇一樣活動;他這樣身、口、意像蛇一樣活動后,就會在兩個去處中選擇一個,要麼是地獄,要麼是畜生。蛇行眾生?就是指蛇、鼠、貓、貍等腹部行走的眾生,這就是蛇行之法。』 『什麼是非蛇行之法?就是不殺生,乃至正見……』如同前面淳陀經所廣說的十種業跡,『這就是非蛇行之法。身體不像蛇一樣行動,口不像蛇一樣說話,意念不像蛇一樣活動,就會在兩個去處中選擇一個,要麼是天上,要麼是人間,這就是非蛇行之法。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一〇四七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: For example, impure things combine with impure things. Likewise, killing combines with killing, and even wrong views combine with wrong views. Similarly, monks! Not killing combines with not killing, and even right views combine with right views. For example, pure things combine with pure things, milk produces curds, curds produce butter, butter produces ghee, and ghee combines with itself. Likewise, not killing combines with not killing, and even right views combine with right views, this is called the law of mutual association for monks. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1046) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'There is a way of snake-like conduct. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. What is the way of snake-like conduct? It is the evil act of killing, with hands constantly stained with blood, and even the ten unwholesome karmic traces...' as explained in detail in the previous Cunda Sutra. 'At that time, his body acts like a snake, his mouth speaks like a snake, and his mind acts like a snake; after his body, mouth, and mind have acted like a snake, he will go to one of two destinations, either hell or the animal realm. Snake-like beings? These refer to snakes, rats, cats, foxes, and other creatures that crawl on their bellies, this is the way of snake-like conduct.' 'What is the way of non-snake-like conduct? It is not killing, and even right views...' as explained in detail in the previous Cunda Sutra regarding the ten karmic traces, 'this is the way of non-snake-like conduct. The body does not act like a snake, the mouth does not speak like a snake, and the mind does not act like a snake, and he will go to one of two destinations, either heaven or the human realm, this is the way of non-snake-like conduct.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1047) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有惡業因、噁心因、惡見因,如是眾生身壞命終,必墮惡趣泥犁中。譬如圓珠,擲著空中,落地流轉,不一處住。如是,惡業因、噁心因、惡見因,身壞命終,必墮地獄,中無住處。

「云何為惡業?謂殺生,乃至綺語……」如上廣說,「是名惡業。云何噁心?謂貪恚心……」如上廣說,「是名噁心。云何惡見?謂邪顛倒……」如上廣說,「是名惡見。是名惡業因、噁心因、惡見因,身壞命終,必生惡趣泥犁中;善業因、善心因、善見因,身壞命終,必生善趣天上。

「婆羅門!云何為善業?謂離殺生、不樂殺生,乃至不綺語,是名善業。云何善心?謂不貪、不恚,是名心善。云何為見善?謂正見不顛倒,乃至見不受後有,是名見善。是名業善因、心善因、見善因,身壞命終,得生天上。譬如四方摩尼珠,擲著空中,隨墮則安;如是彼三善因,所在受生,隨處則安。」

佛說如是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇四八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若殺生人多習多行,生地獄中;若生人中,必得短壽。不與取多習多行,生地獄中;若生人中,錢財多難

現代漢語譯本: 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有惡業的因、噁心的因、惡見的因,這樣的眾生身壞命終后,必定墮入惡道地獄之中。譬如圓珠,拋向空中,落地後會滾動,不會停在一個地方。同樣,惡業的因、噁心的因、惡見的因,身壞命終后,必定墮入地獄,沒有停留之處。』 『什麼是惡業呢?就是殺生,乃至綺語……』如上面所詳細說的,『這叫做惡業。什麼是噁心呢?就是貪婪和嗔恨的心……』如上面所詳細說的,『這叫做噁心。什麼是惡見呢?就是邪惡顛倒的見解……』如上面所詳細說的,『這叫做惡見。這就是惡業的因、噁心的因、惡見的因,身壞命終后,必定生於惡道地獄之中;而善業的因、善心的因、善見的因,身壞命終后,必定生於善道天上。』 『婆羅門!什麼是善業呢?就是遠離殺生、不喜好殺生,乃至不綺語,這叫做善業。什麼是善心呢?就是不貪婪、不嗔恨,這叫做心善。什麼是善見呢?就是正見不顛倒,乃至見到不受後有,這叫做見善。這就是善業的因、善心的因、善見的因,身壞命終后,能夠生於天上。譬如四方的摩尼寶珠,拋向空中,無論落到哪裡都會安穩;同樣,這三種善因,無論在哪裡受生,都會安穩。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (一〇四八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果殺生的人經常做、反覆做,就會生在地獄中;如果生在人間,必定會短壽。如果偷盜的人經常做、反覆做,就會生在地獄中;如果生在人間,錢財會多有困難。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There are causes of evil deeds, causes of evil thoughts, and causes of evil views. Such beings, when their bodies break and their lives end, will surely fall into the evil realms of hell. It is like a round pearl, thrown into the air, which rolls when it lands and does not stay in one place. Likewise, the causes of evil deeds, evil thoughts, and evil views, when the body breaks and life ends, will surely fall into hell, with no place to stay.' 'What are evil deeds? They are killing, and even frivolous speech...' as explained in detail above, 'these are called evil deeds. What are evil thoughts? They are thoughts of greed and hatred...' as explained in detail above, 'these are called evil thoughts. What are evil views? They are perverse and inverted views...' as explained in detail above, 'these are called evil views. These are the causes of evil deeds, evil thoughts, and evil views. When the body breaks and life ends, one will surely be born in the evil realms of hell; while the causes of good deeds, good thoughts, and good views, when the body breaks and life ends, one will surely be born in the good realms of heaven.' 'Brahmin! What are good deeds? They are abstaining from killing, not delighting in killing, and even abstaining from frivolous speech, these are called good deeds. What are good thoughts? They are not being greedy or hateful, these are called good thoughts. What are good views? They are right views that are not inverted, and even seeing that one will not be subject to future existence, these are called good views. These are the causes of good deeds, good thoughts, and good views. When the body breaks and life ends, one will be born in heaven. It is like a four-sided Mani pearl, thrown into the air, wherever it falls, it will be secure; likewise, these three good causes, wherever one is born, one will be secure.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1048) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'If a person who kills often practices and repeats it, they will be born in hell; if they are born among humans, they will surely have a short life. If a person who steals often practices and repeats it, they will be born in hell; if they are born among humans, they will have many difficulties with wealth.'

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「殺生有三種,謂從貪生故、從恚生故、從癡生。乃至邪見亦三種,從貪生、從恚生、從癡生。離殺生亦有三種,不貪生、不恚生、不癡生。乃至離邪見亦三種,不貪生、不恚生、不癡生。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇五〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「所謂有出法,出不出法。何等為出法,出不出法?謂不殺生出于殺生,乃至正見出於邪見。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇五一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有生聞婆羅門來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!所說此、彼岸。云何此岸?云何彼岸?」

佛告婆羅門:「殺生者,謂此岸;不殺生者,謂彼岸。邪見者,謂此岸;正見者,謂彼岸。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「少有修善人,  能度于彼岸,  一切眾生類,  驅馳走此岸。  於此正法律,  觀察法法相,  此等度彼岸,  摧伏死魔軍。」

爾時,生聞婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起去

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『殺生有三種,即由貪慾而生、由嗔恚而生、由愚癡而生。乃至邪見也有三種,由貪慾而生、由嗔恚而生、由愚癡而生。遠離殺生也有三種,不由貪慾而生、不由嗔恚而生、不由愚癡而生。乃至遠離邪見也有三種,不由貪慾而生、不由嗔恚而生、不由愚癡而生。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇五〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『所謂有出離之法,以及非出離之法。什麼叫做『出離之法』和『非出離之法』呢?就是不殺生出于殺生,乃至正見出於邪見。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇五一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位名叫生聞的婆羅門來到佛陀處,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇!您所說的此岸和彼岸,什麼是此岸?什麼是彼岸?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『殺生者,稱為此岸;不殺生者,稱為彼岸。邪見者,稱為此岸;正見者,稱為彼岸。』當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『很少有修善之人,能夠度過彼岸,一切眾生,都在此岸奔波。在此正法中,觀察法的實相,這些人就能度過彼岸,摧毀死魔的軍隊。』 當時,生聞婆羅門聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位上起身離去。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'There are three kinds of killing: arising from greed, arising from hatred, and arising from delusion. Even wrong views are of three kinds: arising from greed, arising from hatred, and arising from delusion. There are also three kinds of abstaining from killing: not arising from greed, not arising from hatred, and not arising from delusion. Even abstaining from wrong views is of three kinds: not arising from greed, not arising from hatred, and not arising from delusion.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(1050) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'There is what is called the law of going forth, and the law of not going forth. What is the law of going forth and the law of not going forth? It is that not killing arises from killing, and even right view arises from wrong view.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(1051) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Bamboo Grove, Kalandaka's Park, in Rajagriha. At that time, a Brahmin named Senavani came to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'Gautama! You speak of this shore and the other shore. What is this shore? What is the other shore?' The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'Killing is called this shore; not killing is called the other shore. Wrong view is called this shore; right view is called the other shore.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 'Few are those who practice good, who can cross to the other shore; all living beings, rush about on this shore. In this righteous law, observing the true nature of things, these will cross to the other shore, and subdue the army of the death-mara.' At that time, the Brahmin Senavani, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and, rising from his seat, departed.

(一〇五二)

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有惡法,有真實法。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。云何為惡法?謂殺生、不與取、邪淫、妄語、兩舌、惡口、綺語、貪、恚、邪見,是名惡法。云何為真實法?謂離殺生,乃至正見,是名真實法。」

At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'There are evil dharmas, and there are true dharmas. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain them to you. What are evil dharmas? They are killing, taking what is not given, sexual misconduct, false speech, divisive speech, harsh speech, idle chatter, greed, hatred, and wrong view. These are called evil dharmas. What are true dharmas? They are abstaining from killing, up to right view. These are called true dharmas.'

諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇五九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有四十法成就,如鐵槍投水,身壞命終,下生惡趣泥犁中。何等為四十法?謂手自殺生,教人令殺,讚歎殺生,見人殺生心隨歡喜,乃至自行邪見,教人令行,讚歎邪見,見行邪見心隨歡喜,是名四十法成就。如鐵槍投水,身壞命終,下生惡趣泥犁中。有四十法成就,如鐵槍鉆空,身壞命終,上生天上。何等為四十?謂不殺生,教人不殺,口常讚歎不殺功德,見不殺者心隨歡喜;乃至自行正見,教人令行,亦常讚歎正見功德,見人行者心隨歡喜,是名四十法成就。如鐵槍鉆空,身壞命終,上生天上。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有非法,有正法。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。何等為非法?謂殺生,乃至邪見,是名非法

現代漢語譯本:什麼是三十法呢?就是自己不殺生,教導別人不殺生,經常讚歎不殺生的功德;乃至自己奉行正見,又教導別人奉行正見,經常讚歎正見的功德,這就叫做成就三十法。如同鐵矛鉆入空中,身體壞滅,生命終結后,會上升到天上。 眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一〇五九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有四十法成就,如同鐵槍投入水中,身體壞滅,生命終結后,會下墮到惡趣地獄中。什麼是四十法呢?就是親手殺生,教導別人殺生,讚歎殺生,見到別人殺生內心隨之歡喜,乃至自己奉行邪見,教導別人奉行邪見,讚歎邪見,見到奉行邪見內心隨之歡喜,這就叫做成就四十法。如同鐵槍投入水中,身體壞滅,生命終結后,會下墮到惡趣地獄中。有四十法成就,如同鐵槍鉆入空中,身體壞滅,生命終結后,會上升到天上。什麼是四十法呢?就是不殺生,教導別人不殺生,口中經常讚歎不殺生的功德,見到不殺生的人內心隨之歡喜;乃至自己奉行正見,教導別人奉行正見,也經常讚歎正見的功德,見到奉行正見的人內心隨之歡喜,這就叫做成就四十法。如同鐵槍鉆入空中,身體壞滅,生命終結后,會上升到天上。』 佛陀說完這部經,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一〇六〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有非法,有正法。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。什麼是非法呢?就是殺生,乃至邪見,這就叫做非法。

English version: What are the thirty dharmas? It is to abstain from killing oneself, to teach others not to kill, and to constantly praise the merits of not killing; and even to practice right view oneself, and to teach others to practice right view, and to constantly praise the merits of right view, this is called the accomplishment of thirty dharmas. Like an iron spear piercing the sky, when the body is destroyed and life ends, one will ascend to heaven. The monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1059) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There are forty dharmas that, when accomplished, are like an iron spear thrown into water; when the body is destroyed and life ends, one will descend into the evil realms of hell. What are the forty dharmas? They are to kill oneself, to teach others to kill, to praise killing, to rejoice in seeing others kill, and even to practice wrong view oneself, to teach others to practice wrong view, to praise wrong view, to rejoice in seeing others practice wrong view, this is called the accomplishment of forty dharmas. Like an iron spear thrown into water, when the body is destroyed and life ends, one will descend into the evil realms of hell. There are forty dharmas that, when accomplished, are like an iron spear piercing the sky; when the body is destroyed and life ends, one will ascend to heaven. What are the forty dharmas?

Like an iron spear piercing the sky, when the body is destroyed and life ends, one will ascend to heaven.' Having finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1060) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'There are non-dharmas, and there are dharmas. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. What are the non-dharmas? They are killing, and even wrong view, this is called non-dharma.'

English version: 'What is the Right Dharma?' It refers to not killing, and extends to right view; this is called the Right Dharma. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(1061) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'There is what is not-discipline, and there is right discipline. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.

It refers to not killing, and extends to right view; this is called right discipline.

Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 38 Translated by Tripitaka Master Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

(1062) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, there was Venerable Sudatta, who had just shaved his head and beard, donned the monastic robes, and with right faith had left his home to become a monk and study the Way. He came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'Monks! You should know that this good man Sudatta has two aspects of adornment: one is that he has shaved his head and beard, donned the monastic robes, and with right faith has left his home to become a monk and study the Way.'


。二者盡諸有漏,無漏心解脫、慧解脫,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「寂靜盡諸漏,  比丘莊嚴好,  離欲斷諸結,  涅槃不復生。  持此最後身,  摧伏魔怨敵。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇六三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘形色醜陋,難可觀視,為諸比丘之所輕慢,來詣佛所。

爾時,世尊四眾圍繞,見彼比丘來,皆起輕想,更相謂言:「彼何等比丘?隨路而來,形貌醜陋,難可觀視,為人所慢。」

爾時,世尊知諸比丘心之所念,告諸比丘:「汝等見彼比丘來,形狀甚醜,難可視見,令人起慢不?」

諸比丘白佛:「唯然,已見。」

佛告諸比丘:「汝等勿于彼比丘起于輕想。所以者何?彼比丘已盡諸漏,所作已作,離諸重擔,斷諸有結,正智,心善解脫。諸比丘!汝等莫妄量於人,唯有如來能量於人。」

彼比丘詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊復告諸比丘:「汝等見此比丘稽首作禮,退坐一面不?」

比丘白佛:「唯然,已見

現代漢語譯本:'他們兩人都已斷盡所有煩惱,達到無漏的心解脫和智慧解脫,在今生親身證悟並確信:『我已不再有來生,清凈的修行已經完成,該做的都已做完,我清楚地知道自己不會再有後世。』'那時,世尊就說了這首偈語: 『寂靜地斷盡所有煩惱, 比丘的莊嚴如此美好, 遠離慾望,斷除所有束縛, 涅槃之後不再有輪迴。 持有這最後的身體, 摧毀魔王的怨敵。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一〇六三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘,外形醜陋,難以觀看,被眾比丘輕視,來到佛陀所在的地方。 那時,世尊被四眾弟子圍繞,看到那位比丘走來,都生起輕慢之心,互相說道:『那是什麼比丘?沿著路走來,形貌醜陋,難以觀看,讓人輕視。』 那時,世尊知道眾比丘心中的想法,告訴眾比丘:『你們看到那位比丘走來,形狀非常醜陋,難以觀看,讓你們生起輕慢之心,是嗎?』 眾比丘回答佛陀:『是的,我們已經看到了。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『你們不要對那位比丘生起輕慢之心。為什麼呢?因為那位比丘已經斷盡所有煩惱,該做的都已做完,脫離所有重擔,斷除所有束縛,擁有正智,心已得到徹底的解脫。諸位比丘!你們不要妄自揣測他人,只有如來才能真正瞭解他人。』 那位比丘來到佛陀面前,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。 那時,世尊又告訴眾比丘:『你們看到這位比丘頂禮作禮,退坐在一旁了嗎?』 比丘們回答佛陀:『是的,我們已經看到了。』

English version: 'Both have exhausted all defilements, attained the undefiled liberation of mind and liberation through wisdom, and in this very life, having realized it themselves, they testify: 『Rebirth is exhausted, the holy life is fulfilled, what had to be done is done, and I know that there will be no further existence.』' Then, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 'Tranquil, having exhausted all defilements, The bhikkhu is adorned so well, Free from desire, having broken all fetters, Nirvana, no more rebirth. Holding this final body, Subduing the enemy of Mara.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1063) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu, ugly in appearance and difficult to look upon, who was despised by the other bhikkhus, and he came to where the Buddha was. Then, the World-Honored One, surrounded by the four assemblies, saw that bhikkhu coming and all arose with thoughts of contempt, saying to each other: 'What kind of bhikkhu is that? Coming along the road, ugly in appearance, difficult to look upon, and despised by people.' Then, the World-Honored One, knowing the thoughts in the minds of the bhikkhus, said to them: 'When you saw that bhikkhu coming, his appearance was very ugly, difficult to look upon, and caused you to have thoughts of contempt, didn't it?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'Yes, we have seen it.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'You should not have thoughts of contempt for that bhikkhu. Why is that? Because that bhikkhu has exhausted all defilements, done what had to be done, cast off all burdens, broken all fetters, has right knowledge, and his mind is well liberated. Bhikkhus! You should not make assumptions about people, only the Tathagata can truly know people.' That bhikkhu went to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. Then, the World-Honored One again said to the bhikkhus: 'Have you seen this bhikkhu bowing in reverence and sitting down to one side?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'Yes, we have seen it.'


。」

佛告諸比丘:「汝等勿於是比丘起于輕想;乃至汝等莫量於人,唯有如來能知人耳。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「飛鳥及走獸,  莫不畏師子,  唯師子獸王,  無有與等者。  如是智慧人,  雖小則為大,  莫取其身相,  而生輕慢心。  何用巨大身,  多肉而無慧,  此賢勝智慧,  則為上士夫。  離欲斷諸結,  涅槃永不生,  持此最後身,  摧伏眾魔軍。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇六四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,提婆達多有利養起,摩竭陀王阿阇世毗提希子日日侍從五百乘車,來詣提婆達多所,日日持五百釜食,供養提婆達多,提婆達多將五百人別眾受其供養。

時,有眾多比丘晨朝著衣持缽,入王舍城乞食,聞提婆達多有如是利養起,乃至五百人別眾受其供養。乞食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我等晨朝著衣持缽,入王舍城乞食,聞提婆達多有如是利養起,乃至五百人別眾受其供養。」

佛告諸比丘:「汝等莫稱是提婆達多所得利養。所以者何?彼提婆達多別受利養,今則自壞,他世亦壞

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『你們不要對這位比丘產生輕視的想法;甚至你們不要去衡量他人,只有如來才能真正瞭解一個人。』當時,世尊就說了這首偈語: 『飛鳥和走獸,沒有不畏懼獅子的,唯有獅子是獸中之王,沒有其他野獸能與它相比。同樣,有智慧的人,即使外表看似渺小,實則偉大,不要只看他的外貌,就產生輕慢之心。 何必執著于巨大的身軀,擁有很多肉卻缺乏智慧呢?這種賢能的智慧,才是真正的上士。遠離慾望,斷除一切煩惱,達到涅槃,永不再生,擁有這最後的身軀,就能摧毀一切魔軍。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (一〇六四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,提婆達多因為有了利養而得意,摩揭陀國王阿阇世毗提希子每天都用五百輛車侍奉他,來到提婆達多那裡,每天都用五百釜食物供養提婆達多,提婆達多帶領五百人另立僧團接受供養。 當時,有很多比丘早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入王舍城乞食,聽說提婆達多有這樣的利養,甚至有五百人另立僧團接受供養。乞食完畢,回到精舍,放下衣缽,洗完腳,來到佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我們早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入王舍城乞食,聽說提婆達多有這樣的利養,甚至有五百人另立僧團接受供養。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『你們不要稱讚提婆達多所得到的利養。為什麼呢?因為提婆達多另立僧團接受供養,現在會自取滅亡,來世也會滅亡。』

English version The Buddha told the monks, 'You should not have contemptuous thoughts about this monk; indeed, you should not measure others, only the Tathagata can truly know a person.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke this verse: 'Birds and beasts, none do not fear the lion, only the lion is the king of beasts, no other beast can compare to it. Likewise, a wise person, though seemingly small, is actually great, do not judge by their appearance and give rise to contempt. Why be attached to a huge body, having much flesh but lacking wisdom? This virtuous wisdom is the true superior person. Free from desire, sever all fetters, attain Nirvana, never to be reborn, possessing this last body, one can destroy all the armies of Mara.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1064) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, Devadatta became arrogant due to the gains he had received. King Ajatasatru, son of Vaidehi of Magadha, would attend to him daily with five hundred chariots, coming to Devadatta's place, and daily offering five hundred pots of food to Devadatta. Devadatta led five hundred people to form a separate community and receive these offerings. At that time, many monks, having put on their robes and taken their bowls in the morning, entered Rajagriha to beg for alms. They heard that Devadatta had such gains, and that five hundred people had formed a separate community to receive offerings. Having finished begging for alms, they returned to the monastery, put down their robes and bowls, washed their feet, and went to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. They said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! We put on our robes and took our bowls in the morning, entered Rajagriha to beg for alms, and heard that Devadatta had such gains, and that five hundred people had formed a separate community to receive offerings.' The Buddha told the monks, 'You should not praise the gains that Devadatta has received. Why is that? Because Devadatta, by forming a separate community to receive offerings, will now destroy himself, and will also be destroyed in the next life.'


。譬如芭蕉、竹、蘆,生果即死,來年亦壞;提婆達多亦復如是,受其利養,今世則壞,他世亦壞。譬如駏驉,受胎必死;提婆達多亦復如是,受諸利養,今世亦壞。他世亦壞,彼愚癡提婆達多隨幾時受其利養,當得長夜不饒益苦。是故,諸比丘!當如是學:『我設有利養起,莫生染著。』」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「芭蕉生果死,  竹蘆實亦然,  駏驉坐妊死,  士以貪自喪。  常行非義行,  多知不免愚,  善法日損減,  莖枯根亦傷。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇六五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,舍衛國有手比丘是釋氏子,在舍衛國命終。

時,有眾多比丘,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,聞手比丘釋子于舍衛國命終。聞已,入舍衛城,乞食還,舉衣缽,洗足畢,詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!今日晨朝,眾多比丘著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,聞釋氏子手比丘于舍衛國命終。云何?世尊!手比丘命終,當生何處?云何受生?後世云何?」

佛告諸比丘:「是手比丘成就三不善法,彼命終當生惡趣泥犁中。何等三不善法?謂貪慾、瞋恚、愚癡

現代漢語譯本:比如芭蕉、竹子、蘆葦,一旦結果實就會枯死,來年也會腐爛;提婆達多也是這樣,接受供養,今生就會敗壞,來世也會敗壞。比如駏驉,一旦懷孕必定死亡;提婆達多也是這樣,接受各種供養,今生也會敗壞,來世也會敗壞。那個愚癡的提婆達多無論何時接受供養,都將遭受長久的、沒有利益的痛苦。所以,各位比丘!應當這樣學習:『如果我得到供養,不要產生貪戀執著。』」,當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『芭蕉結果實就會死,竹子蘆葦也是這樣,駏驉懷孕就會死,人因為貪婪而自取滅亡。常常做不符合道義的事情,即使知道很多也無法避免愚蠢,善法一天天減少,就像莖枯萎了,根也受傷了。』 佛說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一〇六五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,舍衛國有一位名叫手的比丘,是釋迦族人,在舍衛國去世。 當時,有很多比丘,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食,聽說釋迦族的手比丘在舍衛國去世了。聽了之後,進入舍衛城,乞食回來,收好衣服和缽,洗完腳,來到佛陀那裡,向佛陀的腳行禮,退到一邊坐下,對佛陀說:『世尊!今天早晨,很多比丘穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食,聽說釋迦族的手比丘在舍衛國去世了。請問,世尊!手比丘去世后,會投生到哪裡?會如何受生?後世會怎麼樣?』 佛陀告訴各位比丘:『這位手比丘成就了三種不善法,他死後會投生到惡趣地獄中。哪三種不善法呢?就是貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡。』

English version: For example, banana trees, bamboo, and reeds, once they bear fruit, they die, and they also decay in the coming year; Devadatta is also like this, receiving offerings, he will be ruined in this life, and he will also be ruined in the next life. For example, a mule, once pregnant, is bound to die; Devadatta is also like this, receiving various offerings, he will be ruined in this life, and he will also be ruined in the next life. That foolish Devadatta, no matter when he receives offerings, will suffer long-lasting, unprofitable pain. Therefore, O monks! You should learn like this: 『If I receive offerings, do not develop attachment and clinging.』 At that time, the World Honored One spoke the following verse: 『Banana trees die when they bear fruit, so do bamboo and reeds, mules die when pregnant, people destroy themselves through greed. Constantly doing things that are not in accordance with righteousness, even if one knows a lot, one cannot avoid foolishness, good dharma decreases day by day, just like the stem withers and the root is also injured.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1065) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, there was a monk named Hand, a member of the Sakya clan, who passed away in Sravasti. At that time, many monks, in the morning, put on their robes, took their bowls, and entered the city of Sravasti to beg for food. They heard that the Sakya monk Hand had passed away in Sravasti. After hearing this, they entered the city of Sravasti, begged for food, returned, put away their robes and bowls, washed their feet, went to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 『World Honored One! This morning, many monks put on their robes, took their bowls, and entered the city of Sravasti to beg for food. They heard that the Sakya monk Hand had passed away in Sravasti. Please tell us, World Honored One! Where will monk Hand be reborn after his death? How will he be reborn? What will happen in his next life?』 The Buddha told the monks: 『This monk Hand has accomplished three unwholesome dharmas, and after his death, he will be reborn in the evil realm of hell. What are the three unwholesome dharmas? They are greed, hatred, and delusion.』


。此三不善法結縛於心,釋種子手比丘生惡趣泥犁中。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「貪慾瞋恚癡,  結縛士夫心,  內發還自傷,  猶如竹蘆實。  無貪恚癡心,  是說為黠慧,  內發不自傷,  是名為勝出。  是故當離貪,  瞋恚癡冥心,  比丘智慧明,  苦盡般涅槃。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者難陀是佛姨母子,好著好衣,染色,搗治光澤,執持好缽,好作嬉戲調笑而行。

時,有眾多比丘來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!尊者難陀是佛姨母子,好著好衣,搗治光澤,執持好缽,好作嬉戲調笑而行。」

爾時,世尊告一比丘:「汝往詣難陀比丘所,語言:『難陀!大師語汝。』」

時,彼比丘受世尊教,往語難陀言:「世尊語汝。」

難陀聞已,即詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面。

佛告難陀:「汝實好著好衣,搗治光澤,好作嬉戲調笑而行不?」

難陀白佛:「實爾

現代漢語譯本:這三種不善的法纏縛在心中,就像釋種子手的比丘一樣,會墮入惡趣的泥犁之中。』當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡,纏縛著人的心,從內心生髮出來反而會傷害自己,就像竹子或蘆葦的果實一樣。沒有貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡的心,這被稱作是聰慧的,從內心生髮出來不會傷害自己,這被稱作是超越的。所以應當遠離貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡的黑暗之心,比丘有了智慧光明,就能苦盡而入涅槃。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一〇六六) 像手比丘一樣,難陀修多羅也是這樣說的。 (一〇六七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者難陀是佛的姨母之子,喜歡穿著好衣服,染色,搗洗得光亮,拿著好缽,喜歡嬉戲調笑地行走。 當時,有很多比丘來到佛的住所,向佛頂禮,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!尊者難陀是佛的姨母之子,喜歡穿著好衣服,搗洗得光亮,拿著好缽,喜歡嬉戲調笑地行走。』 當時,世尊告訴一位比丘:『你到難陀比丘那裡去,告訴他:『難陀!大師叫你。』』 當時,那位比丘接受了世尊的教導,去告訴難陀說:『世尊叫你。』 難陀聽了之後,就來到佛的住所,向佛頂禮,退到一旁站立。 佛告訴難陀:『你真的喜歡穿著好衣服,搗洗得光亮,喜歡嬉戲調笑地行走嗎?』 難陀回答佛說:『確實如此。』

English version: 『These three unwholesome dharmas bind the mind, and like the monk who is the seed-hand, he will be born in the evil realms of hell.』 At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 『Greed, hatred, and delusion, bind the heart of a person, arising from within, they harm oneself, like the fruit of bamboo or reeds. A mind without greed, hatred, and delusion, is said to be wise, arising from within, it does not harm oneself, this is called transcendence. Therefore, one should abandon the dark mind of greed, hatred, and delusion, when a monk has the light of wisdom, he can end suffering and enter Nirvana.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1066) Like the monk with the hand, the Nanda Sutra is also spoken in this way. (1067) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the Venerable Nanda was the son of the Buddha's maternal aunt, he liked to wear fine clothes, dyed and polished, carrying a fine bowl, and liked to walk around playfully and jestingly. At that time, many monks came to the Buddha's dwelling, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 『World Honored One! The Venerable Nanda is the son of the Buddha's maternal aunt, he likes to wear fine clothes, dyed and polished, carrying a fine bowl, and likes to walk around playfully and jestingly.』 At that time, the World Honored One said to a monk: 『Go to the monk Nanda, and tell him: 『Nanda! The Master calls for you.』』 At that time, that monk received the Buddha's instruction, and went to tell Nanda, saying: 『The World Honored One calls for you.』 Having heard this, Nanda went to the Buddha's dwelling, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and stood to one side. The Buddha said to Nanda: 『Is it true that you like to wear fine clothes, dyed and polished, and like to walk around playfully and jestingly?』 Nanda replied to the Buddha: 『It is so.』


。世尊!」

佛告難陀:「汝佛姨母子,貴姓出家,不應著好衣服,搗令光澤,執持好缽,好作嬉戲調笑而行。汝應作是念:『我是佛姨母子,貴姓出家,應作阿練若,乞食,著糞掃衣,常應讚歎著糞掃衣,常處山澤,不顧五欲。』」

爾時,難陀受佛教已,修阿蘭若行,乞食,著糞掃衣,亦常讚歎著糞掃衣者,樂處山澤,不顧愛慾。爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「難陀何見汝,  修習阿蘭若,  家家行乞食,  身著糞掃衣,  樂處於山澤,  不顧於五欲。」

佛說此經已,尊者難陀聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇六八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者低沙自念,我是世尊姑子兄弟故,不修恭敬,無所顧錄,亦不畏懼,不堪諫止。

時,有眾多比丘往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!尊者低沙自念是世尊姑子兄弟故,不修恭敬,無所顧錄,亦不畏懼,不堪諫止。」

爾時,世尊告一比丘:「汝往詣低沙比丘所,語言:『低沙!大師語汝!』」

時,彼比丘受世尊教,往語低沙比丘言:「世尊語汝!」

低沙比丘即詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面

「世尊!」 佛陀告訴難陀:『你作為佛陀姨母的兒子,出身高貴而出家,不應該穿著華麗的衣服,打理得光鮮亮麗,拿著精緻的缽,嬉戲打鬧。你應該這樣想:『我作為佛陀姨母的兒子,出身高貴而出家,應該住在寂靜處,乞食為生,穿著從垃圾堆撿來的破舊衣服,經常讚美穿著破舊衣服的人,常住在山林沼澤,不貪戀五欲。』 當時,難陀接受了佛陀的教誨,修行寂靜處,乞食為生,穿著破舊的衣服,也經常讚美穿著破舊衣服的人,喜歡住在山林沼澤,不貪戀愛慾。當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『難陀,我看到你, 修行寂靜處, 挨家挨戶乞食, 身上穿著破舊的衣服, 喜歡住在山林沼澤, 不貪戀五欲。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者難陀聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一〇六八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者低沙心想,因為我是世尊姑母的兒子,所以不修恭敬,不加顧忌,也不畏懼,難以勸誡。 當時,有很多比丘來到佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!尊者低沙因為自認為是世尊姑母的兒子,所以不修恭敬,不加顧忌,也不畏懼,難以勸誡。』 當時,世尊告訴一位比丘:『你到低沙比丘那裡,告訴他:『低沙!大師叫你!』』 當時,那位比丘接受了世尊的教誨,去告訴低沙比丘說:『世尊叫你!』 低沙比丘就來到佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,退到一旁。

'Venerable One!' The Buddha said to Nanda, 'You, as the son of the Buddha's aunt, having renounced the world from a noble family, should not wear fine clothes, keep them polished, carry a fine bowl, and go about playfully and jestingly. You should think thus: 'I am the son of the Buddha's aunt, having renounced the world from a noble family, I should dwell in secluded places, beg for food, wear discarded rags, always praise those who wear discarded rags, always live in mountains and marshes, and not be attached to the five desires.' At that time, Nanda, having received the Buddha's teachings, practiced in secluded places, begged for food, wore discarded rags, and also often praised those who wore discarded rags, enjoyed living in mountains and marshes, and was not attached to sensual desires. At that time, the World Honored One spoke this verse: 'Nanda, I see you, Practicing in secluded places, Going from house to house begging for food, Your body clothed in discarded rags, Enjoying living in mountains and marshes, Not attached to the five desires.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, Venerable Nanda, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced accordingly. (1068) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, Venerable Tissa thought to himself, 'Because I am the son of the World Honored One's aunt, I do not practice respect, have no regard, nor fear, and am not amenable to admonishment.' At that time, many monks went to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'Venerable One! Venerable Tissa, because he thinks he is the son of the World Honored One's aunt, does not practice respect, has no regard, nor fear, and is not amenable to admonishment.' At that time, the World Honored One said to a monk, 'Go to the monk Tissa and say, 'Tissa! The Master calls for you!'' At that time, that monk, having received the Buddha's teaching, went and said to the monk Tissa, 'The World Honored One calls for you!' The monk Tissa then went to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and stood to one side.


佛告低沙:「汝實作是念:『我是世尊姑子兄弟,不修恭敬,無所顧錄,亦不畏懼,不堪忍諫。』不?」

低沙白佛:「實爾。世尊!」

佛告低沙:「汝不應爾!汝應念言:『我是世尊姑子兄弟故,應修恭敬畏懼,堪忍諫止。』」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「善哉汝低沙,  離瞋恚為善,  莫生瞋恚心,  瞋恚者非善。  若能離瞋慢,  修行軟下心,  然後於我所,  修行于梵行。」

佛說此經已,低沙比丘聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有尊者毗舍佉般阇梨子,集供養堂,為眾多比丘說法,言辭滿足,妙音清徹,句味辯正,隨智慧說,聽者樂聞,無所依說,顯現深義,令諸比丘一心專聽。

爾時,世尊入晝正受,以凈天耳過於人耳,聞說法聲,從三昧起,往詣講堂,于大眾前坐,告毗舍佉般阇梨子:「善哉!善哉!毗舍佉!汝能為諸比丘於此供養堂,為眾多比丘說法,言辭滿足,乃至顯現深義,令諸比丘專精敬重,一心樂聽,汝當數數為諸比丘如是說法,令諸比丘專精敬重,一心樂聽,當得長夜以義饒益,安隱樂住

You should think, "Because I am the son of the Buddha's aunt, I should practice respect and fear, and be able to accept admonishment."』 At that time, the Blessed One spoke this verse:", "'Well done, you Tissa, it is good to be free from anger, do not give rise to anger, for those who are angry are not good. If you can be free from anger and pride, and practice a gentle and humble heart, then in my presence, practice the pure holy life.'", "After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhu Tissa, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed, and departed.", "", "(1069)", "", "Thus have I heard:", "", "At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.", "", "At that time, the venerable Visakha Pancaliputta was gathered in the offering hall, teaching the Dharma to many bhikkhus, his words were complete, his voice was beautiful and clear, his sentences were correct in meaning, he spoke according to wisdom, those who listened were happy to hear, he spoke without relying on anything, revealing profound meaning, causing the bhikkhus to listen with one-pointed attention.", "", "At that time, the Blessed One entered the midday meditation, with his pure heavenly ear surpassing human ears, he heard the sound of the Dharma being taught, arose from meditation, went to the lecture hall, sat before the assembly, and said to Visakha Pancaliputta, 'Well done!

。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「若不說法者,  愚智雜難分,  此愚此智慧,  無由自顯現,  善說清涼法,  因說智乃彰,  說法為明照,  光顯大仙幢,  善說為仙幢,  法為羅漢幢。」

佛說此經已,尊者毗舍佉般阇梨子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一〇七〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有眾多比丘集供養堂,悉共作衣。時,有一年少比丘!出家未久,初入法、律,不欲營助諸比丘作衣。

時,眾多比丘詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!時,有眾多比丘集供養堂,為作衣故。有一年少比丘,出家未久,始入法、律,不欲營助諸比丘作衣。」

爾時,世尊問彼比丘:「汝實不欲營助諸比丘作衣耶?」

彼比丘白佛言:「世尊!隨我所能,當力營助。」

爾時,世尊知彼比丘心之所念,告諸比丘:「汝等莫與是年少比丘語。所以者何?是比丘得四增心法,正受現法安樂住,不勤而得。若彼本心所為,剃鬚發,著袈裟衣,出家學道,增進修學,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有

現代漢語譯本: 那時,世尊就說了這首偈語: 『如果不說法,愚笨和智慧就難以區分, 這個人是愚笨的,那個人是智慧的,沒有辦法自己顯現出來。 善於宣說清涼的佛法,因為宣說,智慧才得以彰顯。 說法是爲了明照,光顯大仙的旗幟, 善於宣說佛法是仙人的旗幟,佛法是羅漢的旗幟。』 佛說完這部經后,尊者毗舍佉般阇梨子聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。

(一〇七〇)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有許多比丘聚集在供養堂,一起製作衣服。當時,有一位年輕的比丘,出家不久,剛進入佛法和戒律,不願意幫助其他比丘製作衣服。

當時,許多比丘來到世尊那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!當時,有許多比丘聚集在供養堂,爲了製作衣服。有一位年輕的比丘,出家不久,剛進入佛法和戒律,不願意幫助其他比丘製作衣服。』

那時,世尊問那位比丘:『你真的不願意幫助其他比丘製作衣服嗎?』

那位比丘對佛說:『世尊!我會盡我所能,盡力幫助。』

那時,世尊知道那位比丘心中的想法,告訴眾比丘:『你們不要和這位年輕的比丘說話。為什麼呢?這位比丘得到了四種增上心法,正在享受現世安樂的住處,不勤奮就能得到。如果他本來的心願,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,出家學道,增進修學,在現世自己知道並作證:『我的生死已經結束,清凈的修行已經建立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不再有來世。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One spoke this verse: 'If the Dharma is not spoken, the foolish and the wise are difficult to distinguish, This one is foolish, and that one is wise, there is no way to manifest it by themselves. Skillfully speaking the cool Dharma, because of speaking, wisdom is revealed. Speaking the Dharma is for illuminating, glorifying the banner of the great sage, Skillfully speaking the Dharma is the banner of the sage, the Dharma is the banner of the Arhat.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Venerable Visakha Pancalika, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid homage and departed.

(1070)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti.

At that time, many monks gathered in the offering hall, all together making robes. At that time, there was a young monk! Who had not been ordained long, having just entered the Dharma and Vinaya, and did not want to help the other monks make robes.

At that time, many monks went to the World Honored One, bowed their heads to his feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! At that time, many monks gathered in the offering hall, for the purpose of making robes. There was a young monk, who had not been ordained long, having just entered the Dharma and Vinaya, and did not want to help the other monks make robes.'

At that time, the World Honored One asked that monk: 'Is it true that you do not want to help the other monks make robes?'

That monk said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! To the best of my ability, I will do my best to help.'

At that time, the World Honored One, knowing the thoughts in that monk's mind, told the monks: 'You should not speak to this young monk. Why is that? This monk has attained the four higher states of mind, is enjoying the present life in peace and happiness, and obtains it without effort. If it was his original intention, to shave his head and beard, wear the robes, leave home to study the Way, advance in his studies, and in this very life know and realize for himself: 'My birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what was to be done is done, I know for myself that there is no more future existence.'


。』」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「非下劣方便,  薄德少智慧,  正向于涅槃,  免脫煩惱鎖。  此賢年少者,  逮得上士處,  離欲心解脫,  涅槃不復生。  持此最後身,  摧伏眾魔軍。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇七一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有比丘名曰上坐,獨住一處,亦常讚歎獨一住者,獨行乞食,食已,獨還,獨坐禪思。

時,有眾多比丘詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!有尊者名曰上坐,樂一獨處,亦常讚歎獨一住者,獨入聚落乞食,獨出聚落,還至住處,獨坐禪思。」

爾時,世尊語一比丘:「汝往詣彼上坐比丘所,語上坐比丘言:『大師告汝!』」

比丘受教,詣上坐比丘所,白言:「尊者!大師告汝!」

時,上坐比丘即時奉命,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退住一面

現代漢語譯本: 『那時,世尊就說了偈語: 『不是用低劣的方便法門, 那些福德淺薄、智慧不足的人, 能夠直接趨向涅槃, 從而擺脫煩惱的束縛。 這位賢能的年輕人, 已經達到了高尚的境界, 他的心已從慾望中解脫, 進入涅槃不再輪迴。 他持著這最後的身體, 摧毀了所有的魔軍。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (一〇七一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫上座的比丘,獨自居住在一處,也常常讚歎獨自居住的人,獨自去乞食,吃完后,獨自返回,獨自坐禪思。 當時,有很多比丘來到佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!有一位尊者名叫上座,喜歡獨自居住,也常常讚歎獨自居住的人,獨自進入村落乞食,獨自離開村落,回到住處,獨自坐禪思。』 那時,世尊對一位比丘說:『你到那位上座比丘那裡,告訴上座比丘說:『大師叫你!』』 那位比丘接受教誨,來到上座比丘那裡,說道:『尊者!大師叫你!』 當時,上座比丘立刻遵從命令,來到世尊那裡,向佛陀頂禮,然後退到一旁。

English version: 『At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 『Not by inferior means, Those with meager merit and little wisdom, Can directly approach Nirvana, Thus escaping the bonds of affliction. This virtuous young man, Has attained the state of the noble one, His mind is liberated from desire, Entering Nirvana, no more rebirth. Holding this final body, He has vanquished all the armies of Mara.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (1071) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there was a monk named Elder, who lived alone in one place, and often praised those who lived alone, going alone for alms, and after eating, returning alone, sitting alone in meditation. At that time, many monks went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 『World Honored One! There is a venerable one named Elder, who enjoys living alone, and often praises those who live alone, entering villages alone for alms, leaving villages alone, returning to his dwelling, and sitting alone in meditation.』 Then, the World Honored One said to a monk: 『Go to that Elder monk, and tell the Elder monk: 『The Master calls for you!』』 The monk, having received the instruction, went to the Elder monk, and said: 『Venerable one! The Master calls for you!』 At that time, the Elder monk immediately obeyed the order, went to the World Honored One, bowed at his feet, and then withdrew to one side.


爾時,世尊告上坐比丘:「汝實獨一靜處,讚歎獨處者,獨行乞食,獨出聚落,獨坐禪思耶?」

上坐比丘白佛:「實爾,世尊!」

佛告上坐比丘:「汝云何獨一處,讚歎獨住者,獨行乞食,獨還住處,獨坐禪思?」

上坐比丘白佛:「我唯獨一靜處,讚歎獨住者,獨行乞食,獨出聚落,獨坐禪思。」

佛告上坐比丘:「汝是一住者,我不言非一住,然更有勝妙一住。何等為勝妙一住?謂比丘前者枯乾,後者滅盡,中無貪喜,是婆羅門心不猶豫,已舍憂悔,離諸有愛,群聚使斷,是名一住,無有勝住過於此者!」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「悉映於一切,  悉知諸世間,  不著一切法,  悉離一切愛,  如是樂住者,  我說為一住。」

佛說此經已,尊者上坐聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一〇七二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有尊者僧迦藍于拘薩羅人間遊行,至舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。彼僧迦藍比丘有本二,在舍衛國中,聞僧迦藍比丘于拘薩羅人間遊行,至舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。聞已,著好衣服,莊嚴華瓔,抱其兒來詣祇洹,至僧迦藍比丘房前。

爾時,尊者僧迦藍出房露地經行

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴上座比丘:『你確實獨自一人在安靜的地方,讚歎獨處的人,獨自乞食,獨自離開村落,獨自坐禪思考嗎?』 上座比丘回答佛說:『確實如此,世尊!』 佛告訴上座比丘:『你如何獨自一人在安靜的地方,讚歎獨處的人,獨自乞食,獨自返回住處,獨自坐禪思考呢?』 上座比丘回答佛說:『我只是獨自一人在安靜的地方,讚歎獨處的人,獨自乞食,獨自離開村落,獨自坐禪思考。』 佛告訴上座比丘:『你是一種獨處的人,我不是說你不是獨處,但還有更殊勝美妙的獨處。什麼是殊勝美妙的獨處呢?就是比丘之前的煩惱枯竭,之後的煩惱滅盡,心中沒有貪慾和喜悅,這位婆羅門心不猶豫,已經捨棄憂愁和悔恨,遠離一切對存在的愛戀,斷絕了群聚的習性,這叫做獨處,沒有比這更殊勝的獨處了!』當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『完全照耀一切,完全瞭解世間,不執著一切法,完全舍離一切愛,像這樣樂於獨處的人,我說這是真正的獨處。』 佛說完這部經后,尊者上座聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (一〇七二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有位尊者僧迦藍從拘薩羅人間遊歷,來到舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。那位僧迦藍比丘有兩位舊相識,在舍衛國中,聽說僧迦藍比丘從拘薩羅人間遊歷,來到舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。聽聞后,她們穿上漂亮的衣服,佩戴華麗的瓔珞,抱著孩子來到祇洹,到了僧迦藍比丘的房前。 當時,尊者僧迦藍走出房間,在露天的地方經行。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One said to the senior monk: 'Are you truly alone in a quiet place, praising those who live alone, begging for food alone, leaving the village alone, and meditating alone?' The senior monk replied to the Buddha: 'Indeed, World Honored One!' The Buddha said to the senior monk: 'How do you, being alone in a quiet place, praise those who live alone, beg for food alone, return to your dwelling alone, and meditate alone?' The senior monk replied to the Buddha: 'I am simply alone in a quiet place, praising those who live alone, begging for food alone, leaving the village alone, and meditating alone.' The Buddha said to the senior monk: 'You are one who dwells alone, and I do not say that you are not dwelling alone, but there is a more excellent and wonderful dwelling alone. What is the excellent and wonderful dwelling alone? It is when a monk's former defilements are withered, and the latter defilements are extinguished, and there is no greed or joy in the mind. This Brahmin's mind is without hesitation, having already abandoned sorrow and regret, detached from all love of existence, and having severed the habit of gathering in groups. This is called dwelling alone, and there is no dwelling more excellent than this!' At that time, the World Honored One spoke the following verse: 'Completely illuminating all, completely understanding the world, not clinging to any dharma, completely abandoning all love, one who delights in dwelling in this way, I say is truly dwelling alone.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the venerable senior monk, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed and departed. (1072) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika in Sravasti. At that time, there was a venerable monk named Sangharama who traveled from the Kosala region and arrived at the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika in Sravasti. This monk Sangharama had two acquaintances in Sravasti who heard that the monk Sangharama had traveled from the Kosala region and arrived at the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika in Sravasti. Upon hearing this, they put on beautiful clothes, adorned themselves with flowery garlands, and, carrying their children, came to Jeta Grove, arriving at the front of monk Sangharama's dwelling. At that time, the venerable Sangharama came out of his room and was walking in the open air.


。時,彼本二來到其前,作是言:「此兒幼小,汝捨出家,誰當養活?」

時,僧迦藍比丘不共語。如是再三,亦不共語。

時,彼本二作如是言:「我再三告,不與我語,不見顧視,我今置兒。」著經行道頭而去,言:「沙門!此是汝子,汝自養活,我今捨去。」

尊者僧迦藍亦不顧視其子。

彼本二復言:「是沙門今於此兒都不顧視,彼必得仙人難得之處。善哉!沙門!必得解脫。」情願不遂,抱子而去。

爾時,世尊入晝正受,以天耳過人之耳,聞尊者僧迦藍本二所說,即說偈言:

「來者不歡喜,  去亦不憂戚。  於世間和合,  解脫不染著。  我說彼比丘,  為真婆羅門。  來者不歡喜,  去亦不憂戚。  不染亦無憂,  二心俱寂靜,  我說是比丘,  是真婆羅門。」

佛說此經已,尊者僧迦藍聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一〇七三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者阿難獨一靜處,作是思惟:「有三種香,順風而熏,不能逆風。何等為三?謂根香、莖香、華香

當時,孩子的母親來到他面前,說道:『這個孩子還小,你出家了,誰來養活他呢?』 當時,僧迦藍比丘不與她說話。這樣再三,他仍然不與她說話。 當時,孩子的母親這樣說道:『我再三告訴你,你都不理我,也不看顧孩子,我現在就把孩子放在這裡了。』她把孩子放在經行道的盡頭就離開了,說道:『沙門!這是你的孩子,你自己養活吧,我現在要走了。』 尊者僧迦藍仍然不看顧他的孩子。 孩子的母親又說道:『這個沙門對這個孩子都不看一眼,他必定能得到仙人難以到達的境界。太好了!沙門!你必定能解脫。』她心願沒有達成,就抱著孩子離開了。 這時,世尊進入午間禪定,用天耳通聽到尊者僧迦藍母親所說的話,就說了偈語: 『來時不歡喜,去時也不憂愁。 在世間和合,解脫而不執著。 我說這樣的比丘,是真正的婆羅門。 來時不歡喜,去時也不憂愁。 不執著也沒有憂愁,兩種心都寂靜。 我說這樣的比丘,是真正的婆羅門。』 佛說完這部經后,尊者僧迦藍聽到佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮后離開了。 (一〇七三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者阿難獨自一人在安靜的地方,這樣思惟:『有三種香,只能順風飄散,不能逆風。是哪三種呢?就是根的香、莖的香、花的香。』

Then, the child's mother came before him and said, 'This child is young, you have left home, who will raise him?' At that time, the monk Sanghārama did not speak to her. This happened again and again, and he still did not speak to her. Then, the child's mother said, 'I have told you repeatedly, but you do not acknowledge me, nor do you look after the child. Now I will leave the child here.' She placed the child at the end of the walking path and left, saying, 'Shramana! This is your child, you raise him yourself, I am leaving now.' Venerable Sanghārama still did not look at his child. The child's mother further said, 'This shramana does not even glance at this child, he must be able to attain a state that is difficult for even immortals to reach. Excellent! Shramana! You will surely attain liberation.' Her wish unfulfilled, she took the child and left. At that time, the World Honored One entered the midday meditation, and with his divine ear, which surpasses human ears, he heard what the mother of Venerable Sanghārama had said, and then spoke these verses: 'He is not pleased when someone comes, nor does he grieve when someone leaves. He is in harmony with the world, liberated and unattached. I say that such a monk is a true Brahmin. He is not pleased when someone comes, nor does he grieve when someone leaves. He is unattached and without sorrow, both his minds are tranquil. I say that such a monk is a true Brahmin.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Sanghārama heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and was pleased, paid his respects, and left. (1073) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, Venerable Ananda, alone in a quiet place, contemplated thus: 'There are three kinds of fragrance that drift with the wind, but cannot drift against it. What are these three? They are the fragrance of roots, the fragrance of stems, and the fragrance of flowers.'


。或復有香,順風熏,亦逆風熏,亦順風逆風熏耶?」作是念已,晡時從禪覺,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我獨一靜處,作是思惟:『有三種香,順風而熏,不能逆風。何等為三?謂根香、莖香、華香。或復有香,順風熏、逆風熏,亦順風逆風熏耶?』」

佛告阿難:「如是!如是!有三種香,順風熏,不能逆風,謂根香、莖香、華香。阿難!亦有香,順風熏、逆風熏、順風逆風熏。阿難!順風熏、逆風熏、順風逆風熏者。阿難!有善男子、善女人,在所城邑、聚落,成就真實法,盡形壽不殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語、不飲酒。如是善男子、善女人,八方上下,崇善士夫,無不稱歎言:『某方某聚落善男子、善女人,持戒清凈,成真實法,盡形壽不殺,乃至不飲酒。』阿難!是名有香順風熏、逆風熏、順風逆風熏。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「非根莖華香,  能逆風而熏,  唯有善士女,  持戒清凈香。  逆順滿諸方,  無不普聞知,  多迦羅栴檀,  優缽羅末利。  如是比諸香,  戒香最為上,  栴檀等諸香,  所熏少分限。  唯有戒德香,  流熏上升天,  斯等凈戒香,  不放逸正受

現代漢語譯本:我(阿難)這樣想著:『有三種香,只能順風飄散,不能逆風飄散。是哪三種呢?就是根的香、莖的香、花的香。那麼,有沒有一種香,既能順風飄散,也能逆風飄散,或者既能順風又能逆風飄散呢?』這樣想過後,傍晚時分我從禪定中醒來,就去到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,然後退到一旁,對佛說:『世尊,我獨自靜坐時,這樣思索:『有三種香,只能順風飄散,不能逆風飄散。是哪三種呢?就是根的香、莖的香、花的香。那麼,有沒有一種香,既能順風飄散,也能逆風飄散,或者既能順風又能逆風飄散呢?』 佛陀告訴阿難:『是的,是的。有三種香,只能順風飄散,不能逆風飄散,就是根的香、莖的香、花的香。阿難,也有一種香,既能順風飄散,也能逆風飄散,也能順風逆風都飄散。阿難,能順風飄散、逆風飄散、順風逆風都飄散的香是這樣的:阿難,如果有善男子、善女人,在他們居住的城鎮、村落,成就真實的修行,終身不殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語、不飲酒。這樣的善男子、善女人,四面八方,所有崇尚善良的人們,無不稱讚說:『某地某村的善男子、善女人,持戒清凈,成就真實的修行,終身不殺生,乃至不飲酒。』阿難,這就是能順風飄散、逆風飄散、順風逆風都飄散的香。』當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『不是根莖花香,能夠逆風飄散,只有善良的男女,持戒清凈的香。逆風順風傳遍四方,沒有不普遍知曉的,多迦羅、栴檀、優缽羅、茉莉。這些香相比,戒香最為殊勝,栴檀等香,所熏範圍有限。只有戒德之香,流傳上升到天界,這些清凈的戒香,是不放逸的真正受持。』

English version: I (Ananda) thought to myself: 『There are three kinds of fragrance that can only travel with the wind and not against it. What are these three? They are the fragrance of roots, the fragrance of stems, and the fragrance of flowers. Is there a fragrance that can travel with the wind, against the wind, or both with and against the wind?』 After thinking this, in the evening, I awoke from meditation and went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and then stepped aside. I said to the Buddha: 『Venerable One, when I was alone in quiet contemplation, I thought: 『There are three kinds of fragrance that can only travel with the wind and not against it. What are these three? They are the fragrance of roots, the fragrance of stems, and the fragrance of flowers. Is there a fragrance that can travel with the wind, against the wind, or both with and against the wind?』 The Buddha said to Ananda: 『Yes, yes. There are three kinds of fragrance that can only travel with the wind and not against it, which are the fragrance of roots, the fragrance of stems, and the fragrance of flowers. Ananda, there is also a fragrance that can travel with the wind, against the wind, and both with and against the wind. Ananda, the fragrance that can travel with the wind, against the wind, and both with and against the wind is this: Ananda, if there are good men and good women in their towns and villages who have achieved true practice, who for their entire lives do not kill, do not steal, do not engage in sexual misconduct, do not lie, and do not drink alcohol. Such good men and good women, in all directions, all those who admire goodness, without exception, praise them, saying: 『The good men and good women of such and such a place and village, uphold the precepts purely, have achieved true practice, and for their entire lives do not kill, and so on, up to not drinking alcohol.』 Ananda, this is the fragrance that can travel with the wind, against the wind, and both with and against the wind.』 At that time, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 『Not the fragrance of roots, stems, or flowers, can travel against the wind, only the fragrance of good men and women, who uphold the precepts purely. Against the wind and with the wind, it spreads in all directions, and there is no one who does not know it. Tagara, sandalwood, utpala, and jasmine. Compared to these fragrances, the fragrance of precepts is the most superior. The fragrance of sandalwood and others, the area they can perfume is limited. Only the fragrance of virtue from precepts, flows and rises to the heavens. These pure fragrances of precepts, are the true reception of non-negligence.』


。  正智等解脫,  魔道莫能入,  是名安隱道,  是道則清凈。  正向妙禪定,  斷諸魔結縛。」

佛說此經已,尊者阿難聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一〇七四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在摩竭提國人間遊行。與千比丘俱,皆是古昔縈發出家,皆得阿羅漢,諸漏已盡,所作已作,舍諸重擔,逮得己利,盡諸有結,正智,善解脫,到善建立支提杖林中住。

摩竭提王瓶沙聞世尊摩竭提國人間遊行,至善建立支提杖林中住,與諸小王群臣羽從,車萬二千、乘馬萬八千、步逐眾無數,摩竭提婆羅門長者悉皆從。

王出王舍城,詣世尊所,恭敬供養。到于道口,下車步進,及於內門,除去五飾,脫冠卻蓋,除扇去劍刀,脫革屣,到于佛前,整衣服,偏露右肩,為佛作禮,右繞三匝,自稱姓名,白佛言:「世尊!我是摩竭提王瓶沙。」

佛告瓶沙:「如是,大王!汝是瓶沙,可就此坐,隨其所安。」

時,瓶沙王重禮佛足,退坐一面。諸王大臣、婆羅門居士悉禮佛足,次第而坐。

時,郁鞞羅迦葉亦在座中

現代漢語譯本 『正智』等解脫,魔道不能侵入,這稱為安穩之道,此道則清凈。 正向美妙的禪定,斷除各種魔的束縛。 佛說完這部經后,尊者阿難聽聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (一〇七四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛在摩竭提國人間游化。與一千位比丘在一起,他們都是過去世就發願出家,都已證得阿羅漢果,各種煩惱都已斷盡,該做的都已做完,捨棄了各種重擔,獲得了自身的利益,斷盡了各種束縛,具有正智,善於解脫,住在善建立支提杖林中。 摩竭提國王瓶沙聽說世尊在摩竭提國人間游化,住在善建立支提杖林中,就與各位小王、群臣、侍從,乘坐一萬二千輛車、一萬八千匹馬,以及無數的步兵,摩竭提的婆羅門和長者也都跟隨前往。 國王從王舍城出發,前往世尊所在之處,恭敬供養。到達道路入口時,下車步行前進,到了內門,除去五種裝飾,脫下王冠和頭蓋,除去扇子和劍刀,脫下皮鞋,來到佛前,整理衣服,露出右肩,向佛行禮,右繞三圈,自報姓名,對佛說:『世尊!我是摩竭提國王瓶沙。』 佛告訴瓶沙:『是的,大王!你是瓶沙,可以坐在這裡,隨意安坐。』 這時,瓶沙王再次禮拜佛足,退坐在一旁。各位國王、大臣、婆羅門、居士都禮拜佛足,依次坐下。 當時,郁鞞羅迦葉也在座中。

English version 'Right wisdom' and other liberations, the path of demons cannot enter, this is called the path of peace, this path is pure. Directly towards wonderful meditation, severing all the bonds of demons. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid homage and departed. (1074) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the human realm of Magadha. He was with a thousand monks, all of whom had vowed to leave home in past lives, all of whom had attained Arhatship, all of whose defilements were exhausted, all of whom had done what needed to be done, had laid down all burdens, had attained their own benefit, had exhausted all bonds, possessed right wisdom, were well liberated, and were dwelling in the well-established Cetiya Staff Grove. King Bimbisara of Magadha heard that the World Honored One was wandering in the human realm of Magadha, dwelling in the well-established Cetiya Staff Grove, and so he, along with various minor kings, ministers, and attendants, riding twelve thousand chariots, eighteen thousand horses, and countless foot soldiers, and the Brahmins and elders of Magadha all followed along. The king set out from Rajagriha, went to where the World Honored One was, and made offerings with reverence. Upon reaching the entrance to the path, he got out of his chariot and walked forward, and upon reaching the inner gate, he removed his five ornaments, took off his crown and head covering, removed his fan and sword, took off his leather shoes, came before the Buddha, adjusted his clothes, exposed his right shoulder, paid homage to the Buddha, circumambulated him three times, announced his name, and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I am King Bimbisara of Magadha.' The Buddha said to Bimbisara: 'Yes, Great King! You are Bimbisara, you may sit here, sit as you are comfortable.' At that time, King Bimbisara again bowed at the Buddha's feet, and retreated to sit on one side. The various kings, ministers, Brahmins, and lay people all bowed at the Buddha's feet and sat down in order. At that time, Uruvilva Kasyapa was also in the assembly.


時,摩竭提婆羅門長者作是念:「為大沙門從郁鞞羅迦葉所修梵行耶?為郁鞞羅迦葉于大沙門所修梵行耶?」

爾時,世尊知摩竭提婆羅門長者心之所念,即說偈而問言:

「郁鞞羅迦葉,  於此見何利,  棄汝先所奉,  事火等眾事。  今可說其義,  舍事火之由。」

郁鞞迦葉說偈白佛:

「錢財等滋味,  女色五欲果,  觀察未來受,  斯皆大垢穢,  是故悉棄捨,  先諸奉火事。」

爾時,世尊復說偈問言:

「汝不著世間,  錢財五色味,  復何舍天人,  迦葉隨義說。」

迦葉復以偈答世尊言:

「見道離有餘,  寂滅無餘跡,  無所有不著,  無異趣異道。  是故悉棄捨,  先修奉火事,  大會等受持,  奉事於水火。  愚癡沒于中,  志求解脫道,  盲無智慧目,  向生老病死。  不見於正路,  永離生死道,  今始因世尊,  得見無為道。  大龍所說力,  得度于彼岸,  牟尼廣濟度,  安慰無量眾。  今始知瞿曇,  真諦超出者。」

佛復說偈嘆迦葉言:

「善哉汝迦葉,  先非惡思量,  次第分別求,  遂至於勝處

現代漢語譯本 當時,摩竭提婆羅門長者心中思忖:『是大沙門在郁鞞羅迦葉那裡修行梵行呢?還是郁鞞羅迦葉在大沙門這裡修行梵行呢?』 這時,世尊知道摩竭提婆羅門長者心中的想法,就用偈語問道: 『郁鞞羅迦葉,你在這裡看到了什麼利益,才拋棄你先前所奉行的,祭祀火等各種儀式?現在可以把其中的道理說出來,你捨棄祭火的原因是什麼?』 郁鞞迦葉用偈語回答佛陀: 『錢財等帶來的享樂,女色和五欲的果報,觀察它們未來的結果,這些都是巨大的污垢和穢物,因此我全部捨棄了,先前所奉行的祭火儀式。』 這時,世尊又用偈語問道: 『你既然不執著於世間的錢財和五欲的享樂,那麼你又為何捨棄天人呢?迦葉,請你按照道理說出來。』 迦葉又用偈語回答世尊說: 『我見到了一條道路,它能脫離一切有餘的執著,達到寂滅無餘的境界,那裡無所執著,沒有不同的去處和道路。 因此我全部捨棄了,先前所修行的祭火儀式,以及大會等活動,和對水火的供奉。 愚癡的人沉溺其中,卻想要尋求解脫之道,他們像盲人一樣沒有智慧的眼睛,走向生老病死。 他們看不到正確的道路,永遠無法脫離生死輪迴,現在我因為世尊的教導,才得以見到無為之道。 大龍(指佛陀)所說的力量,使我得以度過彼岸,牟尼(指佛陀)廣施救度,安慰無量的眾生。 現在我才知道,瞿曇(指佛陀)才是真正超越真理的人。』 佛陀又用偈語讚歎迦葉說: 『善哉,你迦葉,你先前的想法並非錯誤,你次第分別尋求,最終達到了殊勝的境界。』

English version At that time, the Brahmin elder of Magadha thought to himself: 'Is the great Śramaṇa practicing the holy life under Uruvilvā Kāśyapa, or is Uruvilvā Kāśyapa practicing the holy life under the great Śramaṇa?' Then, the World-Honored One, knowing the thoughts in the mind of the Brahmin elder of Magadha, spoke in verse and asked: 'Uruvilvā Kāśyapa, what benefit did you see here that you abandoned what you previously revered, the fire sacrifices and other rituals? Now, explain the reason, why did you abandon the fire sacrifices?' Uruvilvā Kāśyapa replied to the Buddha in verse: 'The taste of wealth and possessions, the fruits of sensual pleasures and the five desires, observing their future consequences, all these are great defilements and impurities. Therefore, I have abandoned them all, including the fire sacrifices I previously practiced.' Then, the World-Honored One again asked in verse: 'Since you are not attached to worldly wealth and the pleasures of the five senses, why did you abandon the gods and humans? Kāśyapa, please explain according to the truth.' Kāśyapa again answered the World-Honored One in verse: 'I have seen a path that is free from all remaining attachments, reaching the state of extinction without remainder, where there is no attachment, no different destinations or paths. Therefore, I have abandoned all, the fire sacrifices I previously practiced, as well as the assemblies and the worship of water and fire. The foolish are immersed in them, yet they seek the path of liberation. Like the blind, they have no eyes of wisdom, heading towards birth, old age, sickness, and death. They cannot see the right path, forever unable to escape the cycle of birth and death. Now, because of the World-Honored One's teachings, I have come to see the path of non-action. The power of the Great Dragon (Buddha) has enabled me to cross to the other shore. The Muni (Buddha) widely saves and comforts countless beings. Now I know that Gautama (Buddha) is the one who truly transcends the truth.' The Buddha again praised Kāśyapa in verse: 'Well done, Kāśyapa, your previous thoughts were not wrong. You sought step by step, and finally reached the supreme state.'


「汝今,迦葉!當安慰汝徒眾之心。」

時,郁鞞羅迦葉即入正受,以神足力向于東方,上升虛空,作四種神變,行、住、坐、臥,入火三昧,舉身洞然,青、黃、赤、白、頗梨紅色。身上出水,身下出火,還燒其身,身上出水以灌其身,或身上出火,以燒其身,身下出水,以灌其身。如是種種現化神通息已,稽首佛足,白佛言:「世尊!佛是我師,我是弟子。」

佛告迦葉:「我是汝師,汝是弟子,隨汝所安,復座而坐。」

時,郁鞞羅迦葉還復故坐。

爾時,摩竭提婆羅門長者作是念:「郁鞞羅迦葉定於大沙門所修行梵行。」

佛說此經已,摩竭提王瓶沙及諸婆羅門長者聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一〇七五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有陀驃摩羅子,舊住王舍城,典知眾僧飲食,床座隨次差請,不令越次。

時,有慈地比丘,頻三過次得粗食處,食時辛苦,作是念:「怪哉!大苦!陀驃摩羅子比丘有情故,以粗食惱我,令我食時極苦,我當云何為其作不饒益事?」

時,慈地比丘有姊妹比丘尼,名蜜多羅,住王舍城王園比丘尼眾中。蜜多羅比丘尼來詣慈地比丘,稽首禮足,於一面住

現代漢語譯本 『迦葉,你現在應當安慰你的徒眾。』 當時,郁鞞羅迦葉立即進入禪定,以神通力向東方升入虛空,展現四種神變,行走、站立、坐臥,進入火三昧,全身燃燒,呈現青、黃、赤、白、琉璃紅等顏色。身上出水,身下出火,反過來燒自身,身上出水澆灌自身,或者身上出火燒自身,身下出水澆灌自身。這樣種種顯現神通變化停止后,他向佛陀頂禮,說道:『世尊!佛陀是我的老師,我是弟子。』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『我是你的老師,你是我的弟子,隨你所安,回到座位坐下。』 當時,郁鞞羅迦葉回到原來的座位坐下。 這時,摩竭提婆羅門長者心想:『郁鞞羅迦葉一定是在大沙門那裡修行梵行。』 佛陀說完這部經后,摩竭提國王瓶沙以及各位婆羅門長者聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (一〇七五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有陀驃摩羅子,原先住在王舍城,負責管理僧眾的飲食,床座按照次序安排,不讓越過次序。 當時,有慈地比丘,連續三次得到粗劣的食物,吃飯時感到辛苦,心想:『奇怪!太痛苦了!陀驃摩羅子比丘故意用粗劣的食物來困擾我,讓我吃飯時非常痛苦,我應當如何做對他不利的事情呢?』 當時,慈地比丘有一個姐妹是比丘尼,名叫蜜多羅,住在王舍城王園比丘尼僧團中。蜜多羅比丘尼來到慈地比丘處,頂禮他的雙足,站在一旁。

English version 'Now, Kashyapa, you should comfort the hearts of your disciples.' At that time, Uruvilva Kashyapa immediately entered samadhi, and with his supernatural powers, he ascended into the sky towards the east, displaying four kinds of miraculous transformations: walking, standing, sitting, and lying down. He entered the fire samadhi, his whole body ablaze, displaying colors of blue, yellow, red, white, and crystal red. Water came from his body, and fire from below, which then burned his body. Water from his body then poured over his body, or fire from his body burned his body, and water from below poured over his body. After these various manifestations of supernatural powers ceased, he bowed at the Buddha's feet and said, 'Venerable One! The Buddha is my teacher, and I am a disciple.' The Buddha told Kashyapa, 'I am your teacher, and you are my disciple. As you please, return to your seat and sit down.' At that time, Uruvilva Kashyapa returned to his original seat and sat down. Then, a Brahmin elder of Magadha thought, 'Uruvilva Kashyapa is certainly practicing the holy life under the great Shramana.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, King Bimbisara of Magadha and the Brahmin elders, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid their respects, and departed. (1075) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, there was a monk named Dhabya Mallaputra, who had previously lived in Rajagriha, and was in charge of managing the food and seating arrangements for the Sangha, ensuring that the order was followed. At that time, there was a monk named Citta, who had received coarse food three times in a row. He felt hardship while eating and thought, 'How strange! This is too painful! The monk Dhabya Mallaputra is intentionally troubling me with coarse food, making my mealtime very difficult. What should I do to cause him harm?' At that time, Citta Bhikkhu had a sister who was a bhikkhuni named Mitra, who lived in the bhikkhuni community in the King's Garden in Rajagriha. Bhikkhuni Mitra came to Citta Bhikkhu, bowed at his feet, and stood to one side.


。慈地比丘不顧眄,不與語。蜜多羅比丘尼語慈地比丘:「阿梨!何故不見顧眄,不共言語?」

慈地比丘言:「陀驃摩羅子比丘數以粗食惱我,令我食時極苦,汝復棄我。」

比丘尼言:「當如何?」

慈地比丘言:「汝可至世尊所,白言:『世尊!陀驃摩羅子比丘非法不類,共我作非梵行波羅夷罪。』我當證言:『如是。世尊!如妹所說。』」

比丘尼言:「阿梨!我當云何于梵行比丘所,以波羅夷謗?」

慈地比丘言:「汝若不如是者,我與汝絕,不復來往言語、共相瞻視。」

時,比丘尼須臾默唸,而作是言:「阿梨!欲令我爾,當從其教。」

慈地比丘言:「汝且待我先至世尊所,汝隨後來。」

時,慈地比丘即往稽首,禮世尊足,退住一面。蜜多羅比丘尼即隨後至,稽首佛足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!一何不善不類陀驃摩羅子!於我所作非梵行波羅夷罪。」

慈地比丘復白佛言:「如妹所說,我先亦知。」

爾時,陀驃摩羅子比丘即在彼大眾中

現代漢語譯本:慈地比丘不看也不理睬蜜多羅比丘尼,也不和她說話。蜜多羅比丘尼問慈地比丘:『阿梨!你為什麼不看我,也不和我說話?』 慈地比丘說:『陀驃摩羅子比丘多次用粗劣的食物來困擾我,讓我吃飯時非常痛苦,你又拋棄我。』 比丘尼問:『那該怎麼辦?』 慈地比丘說:『你可以去世尊那裡,告訴他:『世尊!陀驃摩羅子比丘行為不合法也不合規矩,和我犯了非梵行的波羅夷罪。』我會作證說:『是的,世尊!就像我妹妹說的那樣。』 比丘尼說:『阿梨!我怎麼能對一個修行梵行的比丘,用波羅夷罪來誹謗呢?』 慈地比丘說:『如果你不這樣做,我就和你斷絕關係,不再來往,不再說話,也不再看你。』 當時,比丘尼稍微思考了一下,然後說:『阿梨!既然你想讓我這樣做,我就聽你的。』 慈地比丘說:『你先等我先去世尊那裡,你隨後再來。』 當時,慈地比丘就去向世尊頂禮,退到一旁站立。蜜多羅比丘尼隨後也到了,向佛陀頂禮,退到一旁站立,對佛陀說:『世尊!陀驃摩羅子是多麼不善良,多麼不合規矩啊!他對我犯了非梵行的波羅夷罪。』 慈地比丘又對佛陀說:『就像我妹妹說的那樣,我之前也知道。』 當時,陀驃摩羅子比丘就在大眾之中。

English version: The Bhikkhu Cīti did not look at or pay attention to the Bhikkhuni Mitta, nor did he speak to her. The Bhikkhuni Mitta asked the Bhikkhu Cīti: 'Āri! Why do you not look at me, nor speak to me?' The Bhikkhu Cīti said: 'The Bhikkhu Dabba Mallaputta has repeatedly troubled me with coarse food, causing me great suffering when I eat, and you have abandoned me.' The Bhikkhuni asked: 'What should be done?' The Bhikkhu Cīti said: 'You can go to the Blessed One and tell him: 'Venerable Sir! The Bhikkhu Dabba Mallaputta is acting unlawfully and improperly, and has committed a Pārājika offense of non-brahmacarya with me.' I will testify, saying: 'Yes, Venerable Sir! Just as my sister has said.' The Bhikkhuni said: 'Āri! How can I slander a Bhikkhu who practices brahmacarya with a Pārājika offense?' The Bhikkhu Cīti said: 'If you do not do this, I will break off relations with you, and will no longer associate, speak, or look at you.' At that time, the Bhikkhuni pondered for a moment, and then said: 'Āri! Since you want me to do this, I will follow your instructions.' The Bhikkhu Cīti said: 'You wait for me to go to the Blessed One first, and then you follow later.' At that time, the Bhikkhu Cīti went to bow down to the Blessed One, and stood aside. The Bhikkhuni Mitta also arrived later, bowed down to the Buddha, and stood aside, saying to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir! How unkind and improper is the Bhikkhu Dabba Mallaputta! He has committed a Pārājika offense of non-brahmacarya with me.' The Bhikkhu Cīti again said to the Buddha: 'Just as my sister has said, I knew it before as well.' At that time, the Bhikkhu Dabba Mallaputta was among the assembly.


爾時,世尊告陀驃摩羅子比丘:「汝聞此語不?」

陀驃摩羅子比丘言:「已聞,世尊!」

佛告陀驃摩羅子比丘:「汝今云何?」

陀驃摩羅子白佛:「如世尊所知,如善逝所知。」

佛告陀驃摩羅子:「汝言如世尊所知,今非是時,汝今憶念,當言憶念;不憶念,當言不憶念。」

陀驃摩羅子言:「我不自憶念。」

爾時,尊者羅睺羅住于佛后,執扇扇佛,白佛言:「世尊!不善不類是比丘尼言:『尊者陀驃摩羅子共我作非梵行。』慈地比丘言:『如是,世尊!我先已知,如妹所說。』」

佛告羅睺羅:「我今問汝,隨意答我。若蜜多羅比丘尼來語我言:『世尊!不善不類羅睺羅,共我作非梵行波羅夷罪。』慈地比丘復白我言:『如是,世尊!如妹所說,我先亦知』者,汝當云何?」

羅睺羅白佛:「世尊!我若憶念,當言憶念;不憶念,當言不憶念。」

佛言:「羅睺羅!愚癡人汝尚得作此語,陀驃摩羅子清凈比丘何以不得作如是語?」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「于陀驃摩羅子比丘當憶念,蜜多羅比丘尼當以自言滅,慈地比丘僧當極善呵諫教誡:『汝云何見?何處見?汝何因往見?』」世尊如是教已,從座起,入室坐禪

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴陀驃摩羅子比丘:『你聽到這話了嗎?』 陀驃摩羅子比丘說:『聽到了,世尊!』 佛告訴陀驃摩羅子比丘:『你現在怎麼樣?』 陀驃摩羅子稟告佛說:『如世尊所知,如善逝所知。』 佛告訴陀驃摩羅子:『你說如世尊所知,現在不是時候,你現在回憶,應當說回憶;不回憶,應當說不回憶。』 陀驃摩羅子說:『我不自己回憶。』 當時,尊者羅睺羅站在佛的後面,拿著扇子給佛扇風,稟告佛說:『世尊!那個比丘尼說『尊者陀驃摩羅子和我做了不正當的性行為』,這話不善不類。慈地比丘說:『是的,世尊!我早就知道,就像那位師妹說的那樣。』 佛告訴羅睺羅:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。如果蜜多羅比丘尼來告訴我:『世尊!羅睺羅不善不類,和我做了不正當的性行為,犯了波羅夷罪。』慈地比丘又稟告我說:『是的,世尊!就像那位師妹說的那樣,我早就知道了』,你該怎麼辦?』 羅睺羅稟告佛說:『世尊!我如果回憶,就說回憶;不回憶,就說不回憶。』 佛說:『羅睺羅!你這個愚癡的人尚且可以這樣說,陀驃摩羅子這個清凈的比丘為什麼不能這樣說呢?』 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『對於陀驃摩羅子比丘應當回憶,蜜多羅比丘尼應當用自己的話來澄清,慈地比丘僧應當嚴厲地呵斥教誡:『你看見什麼了?在哪裡看見的?你因為什麼去看見的?』』世尊這樣教導后,就從座位起身,進入禪房坐禪。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One said to the monk Dhabya Mallaputta: 'Have you heard these words?' The monk Dhabya Mallaputta said: 'I have heard, World Honored One!' The Buddha said to the monk Dhabya Mallaputta: 'What is your situation now?' Dhabya Mallaputta reported to the Buddha: 'As the World Honored One knows, as the Well-Gone One knows.' The Buddha said to Dhabya Mallaputta: 'Your saying 'as the World Honored One knows' is not appropriate now. If you remember, you should say you remember; if you do not remember, you should say you do not remember.' Dhabya Mallaputta said: 'I do not remember myself.' At that time, the Venerable Rahula was standing behind the Buddha, fanning him with a fan, and reported to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! That nun's statement that 'the Venerable Dhabya Mallaputta engaged in unchaste conduct with me' is improper and inappropriate. The monk Citta said: 'Yes, World Honored One! I knew it before, just as the sister said.' The Buddha said to Rahula: 'I am asking you now, answer me as you wish. If the nun Mitta comes and tells me: 'World Honored One! Rahula is improper and inappropriate, and engaged in unchaste conduct with me, committing a parajika offense.' And if the monk Citta reports to me again: 'Yes, World Honored One! Just as the sister said, I knew it before,' what would you do?' Rahula reported to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! If I remember, I will say I remember; if I do not remember, I will say I do not remember.' The Buddha said: 'Rahula! Even you, a foolish person, can say this. Why can't Dhabya Mallaputta, a pure monk, say the same?' At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'Regarding the monk Dhabya Mallaputta, you should recall the matter. The nun Mitta should clarify with her own words. The monk Citta should be severely rebuked and admonished: 'What did you see? Where did you see it? Why did you go to see it?'' After the World Honored One taught this, he rose from his seat and entered his meditation chamber to meditate.


爾時,諸比丘于陀驃摩羅子比丘憶念,蜜多羅比丘尼與自言滅,慈地比丘極善呵諫教誡言:「汝云何見?何處見?何因往見?」

如是諫時,彼作是言:「彼陀驃摩羅子不作非梵行,不犯波羅夷,然陀驃摩羅子比丘三以粗惡食恐怖,令我食時辛苦。我于陀驃摩羅子比丘愛恚癡怖,故作是說,然陀驃摩羅子清凈無罪。」

爾時,世尊晡時從禪覺,至大眾前敷座而坐。諸比丘白佛言:「世尊!我等於陀驃摩羅子比丘所憶念持,蜜多羅比丘尼與自言滅,慈地比丘極善呵諫,乃至彼言:『陀驃摩羅子清凈無罪。』」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「云何愚癡?以因飲食故,知而妄語。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「若能捨一法,  知而故妄語,  不計於後世,  無惡而不為。  寧食熱鐵丸,  如熾然炭火,  不以犯禁戒,  而食僧信施。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇七六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,尊者陀驃摩羅子詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我願于佛前取般涅槃。」

世尊默然

現代漢語譯本: 當時,眾比丘在思念陀驃摩羅子比丘時,蜜多羅比丘尼說自己已經死去。慈地比丘極力勸誡她,問道:『你看見什麼了?在哪裡看見的?因為什麼原因去看的?』 在這樣勸誡時,她這樣說:『陀驃摩羅子沒有做非梵行,沒有犯波羅夷罪,但是陀驃摩羅子比丘三次用粗劣的食物恐嚇我,使我吃飯時感到痛苦。我對陀驃摩羅子比丘產生了愛、恨、癡、怖,所以才那樣說,其實陀驃摩羅子是清凈無罪的。』 這時,世尊在下午從禪定中醒來,來到大眾面前,鋪好座位坐下。眾比丘告訴佛說:『世尊!我們思念陀驃摩羅子比丘,蜜多羅比丘尼說自己已經死去,慈地比丘極力勸誡她,直到她說:『陀驃摩羅子是清凈無罪的。』 這時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『多麼愚癡啊!因為飲食的緣故,明明知道卻說妄語。』這時,世尊就說了偈語: 『如果能捨棄一種法,明明知道卻故意說妄語,不考慮來世的果報,就沒有什麼惡事做不出來。 寧願吃燒紅的鐵丸,像熾熱的炭火一樣,也不要因為犯了禁戒,而吃僧眾的信施。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (一〇七六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,尊者陀驃摩羅子來到佛的住所,向佛頂禮,退到一邊站立,對佛說:『世尊!我希望在佛前入般涅槃。』 世尊默然不語。

English version: At that time, the monks, while thinking about the monk Dabba Mallaputta, heard that the nun Mitta had declared herself dead. The monk Citta earnestly admonished her, asking: 'What did you see? Where did you see it? For what reason did you go to see it?' When she was thus admonished, she said: 'Dabba Mallaputta did not engage in non-brahmacarya, nor did he commit a parajika offense, but the monk Dabba Mallaputta frightened me three times with coarse food, causing me distress when eating. I developed love, hatred, delusion, and fear towards the monk Dabba Mallaputta, and that is why I said that, but Dabba Mallaputta is pure and without fault.' Then, the Blessed One, in the afternoon, arose from meditation and came before the assembly, where he sat down on the prepared seat. The monks reported to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, we were thinking about the monk Dabba Mallaputta, and the nun Mitta declared herself dead. The monk Citta earnestly admonished her, until she said: 'Dabba Mallaputta is pure and without fault.' At that time, the Blessed One said to the monks: 'How foolish! Because of food, knowingly speaking falsely.' Then, the Blessed One spoke these verses: 'If one can abandon one principle, knowingly speaking falsely, not considering the consequences in the next life, there is no evil they would not do. It is better to eat a red-hot iron ball, like burning charcoal, than to eat the offerings of the Sangha while violating the precepts.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (1076) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagaha. Then, the venerable Dabba Mallaputta went to the place where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, stood to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, I wish to attain parinirvana in the presence of the Buddha.' The Blessed One remained silent.


。如是三啟,佛告陀驃摩羅子:「此有為諸行,法應如是!」

爾時,尊者陀驃摩羅子即于佛前,入於三昧,如其正受,向于東方,升虛空行,現四威儀,行、住、坐、臥,入火三昧,身下出火,舉身洞然,光焰四布,青、黃、赤、白、頗梨紅色。身下出火,還燒其身,身上出水,以灑其身,或身上出火,下燒其身,身下出水,上灑其身。周向十方,種種現化已,即于空中,內身出火,還自焚其身,取無餘涅槃,消盡寂滅,令無遺塵。譬如空中然燈,油炷俱盡,陀驃摩羅子空中涅槃,身心俱盡,亦復如是。爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「譬如燒鐵丸,  其焰洞熾然,  熱勢漸息滅,  莫知其所歸。  如是等解脫,  度煩惱淤泥,  諸流永已斷,  莫知其所之。  逮得不動跡,  入無餘涅槃。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇七七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在央瞿多羅國人間遊行。經陀婆阇梨迦林中,見有牧牛者、牧羊者、採柴草者,及餘種種作人,見世尊行路,見已,皆白佛言:「世尊!莫從此道去!前有央瞿利摩羅賊,脫恐怖人。」

佛告諸人:「我不畏懼!」作此語已,從道而去。彼再三告,世尊猶去

現代漢語譯本:如此三次請求后,佛陀告訴陀驃摩羅子:『這有為的諸行,法理本應如此!』 當時,尊者陀驃摩羅子即在佛陀面前,進入三昧禪定,如其所證,面向東方,升入虛空行走,展現四種威儀,行、住、坐、臥,進入火三昧,身體下方出火,全身燃燒,光焰四射,呈現青、黃、赤、白、頗梨紅等顏色。身體下方出火,反過來燃燒自身,身上出水,用來澆灑自身,或者身上出火,向下燃燒自身,身體下方出水,向上澆灑自身。周遍向十方,種種顯現變化之後,即在空中,從體內發出火焰,反過來焚燒自身,進入無餘涅槃,消盡寂滅,不留一絲塵埃。譬如空中點燃的燈,油和燈芯都燃盡,陀驃摩羅子在空中涅槃,身心俱滅,也是如此。當時,世尊即說偈語道: 『譬如燒紅的鐵丸,它的火焰熾熱燃燒,熱勢漸漸熄滅,不知它歸向何處。像這樣解脫的人,度過煩惱的泥沼,諸流永遠斷絕,不知他去向何方。證得不動的境界,進入無餘涅槃。』 佛陀說完此經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (一〇七七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀在央瞿多羅國人間游化。經過陀婆阇梨迦林中,見到有牧牛人、牧羊人、採柴草的人,以及其他各種勞作的人,他們見到世尊在路上行走,見到后,都告訴佛陀說:『世尊!不要從這條路走!前面有央瞿利摩羅賊,會使人感到恐懼。』 佛陀告訴眾人:『我不畏懼!』說完這話后,就從這條路走去。他們再三勸告,世尊仍然前行。

English version: After such three requests, the Buddha said to Dhabya Mallaputra, 'These conditioned phenomena, the Dharma should be like this!' At that time, the venerable Dhabya Mallaputra, right in front of the Buddha, entered into samadhi, and as he had attained, facing east, he ascended into the sky, displaying the four dignities of walking, standing, sitting, and lying down. He entered the fire samadhi, with fire emanating from below his body, his whole body ablaze, the flames radiating in blue, yellow, red, white, and crystal red colors. Fire came from below his body, burning himself, and water came from his body, sprinkling himself. Or fire came from his body, burning downwards, and water came from below his body, sprinkling upwards. After displaying various transformations in all ten directions, he then, in the sky, emitted fire from within his body, burning himself, entering into nirvana without remainder, extinguishing into stillness, leaving not a trace of dust. Just like a lamp lit in the sky, when the oil and wick are both exhausted, Dhabya Mallaputra entered nirvana in the sky, his body and mind both extinguished, it was just like that. At that time, the World Honored One spoke this verse: 'Like a red-hot iron ball, its flames burn fiercely, the heat gradually subsides, and one knows not where it goes. Likewise, those who are liberated, having crossed the mire of afflictions, the streams are forever cut off, and one knows not where they go. Having attained the unmoving state, they enter nirvana without remainder.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (1077) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering among the people of Anguttara. Passing through the forest of Thavajharika, he saw cowherds, shepherds, those gathering firewood, and various other workers. Seeing the World Honored One walking on the road, they all said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! Do not go this way! Ahead is Angulimala the thief, who terrifies people.' The Buddha said to the people, 'I am not afraid!' Having said this, he went on that road. They advised him again and again, but the World Honored One still went forward.


。遙見央瞿利摩羅手執刀楯走向,世尊以神力現身徐行,令央瞿利摩羅駃走不及。走極疲乏已,遙語世尊:「住!住!勿去!」

世尊並行而答:「我常住耳,汝自不住!」

爾時,央瞿利摩羅即說偈言:

「沙門尚駃行,  而言我常住,  我今疲倦住,  說言汝不住,  沙門說云何,  我住汝不住?」

爾時,世尊以偈答言:

「央瞿利摩羅,  我說常住者,  於一切眾生,  謂息于刀杖。  汝恐怖眾生,  惡業不休息,  我於一切蟲,  止息于刀杖。  汝於一切蟲,  常逼迫恐怖,  造作兇惡業,  終無休息時。  我於一切神,  止息于刀杖,  汝於一切神,  長夜苦逼迫。  造作黑惡業,  於今不止息,  我住于息法,  一切不放逸。  汝不見四諦,  故不息放逸。」

央瞿利摩羅說偈白佛:

「久乃見牟尼,  故隨路而逐,  今聞真妙說,  當舍久遠惡。  作如是說已,  即放舍刀楯,  投身世尊足,  愿聽我出家。  佛以慈悲心,  大仙多哀愍,  告比丘善來,  出家受具足

現代漢語譯本 遠遠地看見央瞿利摩羅手持刀盾走來,世尊運用神力,現出身形緩緩行走,使得央瞿利摩羅快速奔跑也追趕不上。他跑得非常疲憊后,遠遠地對世尊說:『停下!停下!不要走!』 世尊一邊走一邊回答說:『我一直都是安住的,是你自己不安住!』 當時,央瞿利摩羅就說了偈語: 『沙門你明明在快速行走,卻說自己是安住的,我現在疲憊地停下來了,你卻說我不安住,沙門你這是什麼意思,為什麼說我住而你不住?』 當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『央瞿利摩羅,我說我常住,是指我對一切眾生,停止使用刀杖。你恐嚇眾生,惡業不停息,我對於一切生命,都停止使用刀杖。你對於一切生命,常常逼迫恐嚇,造作兇惡的業,始終沒有停止的時候。我對於一切神靈,停止使用刀杖,你對於一切神靈,長久以來都在苦苦逼迫。造作黑暗的惡業,至今都沒有停止,我安住于止息的方法,一切都不放縱。你沒有見到四諦真理,所以不能停止放縱。』 央瞿利摩羅說了偈語告訴佛: 『很久才見到牟尼,所以我才一路追趕,現在聽聞了真實微妙的說法,應當捨棄長久以來的惡行。』 說完這些話后,就放下刀盾,投身到世尊的腳下,請求允許他出家。 佛以慈悲心,大仙非常憐憫,告訴比丘『善來』,允許他出家受具足戒。

English version Seeing Angulimala approaching from afar, holding a sword and shield, the World Honored One used his divine power to appear to be walking slowly, causing Angulimala to be unable to catch up even when running quickly. After running to the point of exhaustion, he called out to the World Honored One from afar: 'Stop! Stop! Don't go!' The World Honored One, while walking, replied: 'I am always at rest, it is you who are not at rest!' At that time, Angulimala spoke in verse: 'The Shramana is still walking quickly, yet says he is at rest. I am now tired and have stopped, yet you say I am not at rest. What does the Shramana mean by this? Why do you say I am at rest while you are not?' At that time, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'Angulimala, when I say I am at rest, it means I have ceased using weapons against all living beings. You terrorize living beings, your evil deeds do not cease. I have ceased using weapons against all creatures. You constantly oppress and terrorize all creatures, creating evil karma without ever stopping. I have ceased using weapons against all deities, you have long been oppressing all deities with suffering. Creating dark evil karma, you have not stopped even now. I abide in the method of cessation, not indulging in anything. You have not seen the Four Noble Truths, therefore you cannot cease your indulgence.' Angulimala spoke in verse to the Buddha: 'It has been a long time since I saw the Muni, that is why I have been chasing after you. Now that I have heard the true and wonderful teachings, I should abandon my long-standing evil deeds.' After saying these words, he laid down his sword and shield, threw himself at the feet of the World Honored One, and requested to be allowed to leave home. The Buddha, with a compassionate heart, the great sage, was very merciful, and told the bhikkhu 'Welcome', allowing him to leave home and receive full ordination.


。」

爾時,央瞿利摩羅出家已,獨一靜處,專精思惟:「所以族姓子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道,增修梵行,現法自知作證:『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。』」

時,央瞿利摩羅得阿羅漢,覺解脫喜樂。即說偈言:

「本受不害名,  而中多殺害,  今得見諦名,  永離於傷殺。  身行不殺害,  口意俱亦然,  當知真不殺,  不迫於眾生。  洗手常血色,  名央瞿摩羅,  浚流之所漂,  三歸制令息。  歸依三寶已,  出家得具足,  成就於三明,  佛教作已作。  調牛以捶杖,  伏象以鐵鉤,  不以刀捶杖,  正度調天人。  利刀以水石,  直箭以熅火,  治材以斧斤,  自調以黠慧。  人前行放逸,  隨後能自斂,  是則照世間,  如雲解月現。  人前放逸行,  隨後能自斂,  於世恩愛流,  正念而超出。  少壯年出家,  精勤修佛教,  是則照世間,  如雲解月現。  少壯年出家,  精勤修佛教,  於世恩愛流,  正念以超出。  若度諸惡業,  正善能令滅,  是則照世間,  如雲解月現

現代漢語譯本: 當時,鴦掘摩羅出家后,獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心思考:『為什麼出身高貴的人要剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以真正的信仰離開家庭,出家修道,增進清凈的行為,在今生就能親自證悟:』我已不再有來生,清凈的行為已經確立,該做的已經做完,自己知道不會再有來世。』 這時,鴦掘摩羅證得阿羅漢果,感受到解脫的喜悅。他隨即說了偈語: 『本來承受著不害的名稱,卻在中途做了許多殺害的事情,現在得到見諦的名稱,永遠離開了傷害和殺戮。 身體的行為不殺害,口和意念也都是如此,應當知道這才是真正的不殺,不逼迫眾生。 洗手時常沾染血色,名字叫鴦掘摩羅,被洶涌的河流所沖刷,通過皈依三寶而停止了殺戮。 皈依三寶后,出家得到了具足戒,成就了三明,佛陀的教誨已經完成。 調馴牛要用鞭杖,馴服像要用鐵鉤,不用刀和鞭杖,而是用正道來調伏天人。 用磨刀石來磨利刀,用火來矯正箭桿,用斧頭來處理木材,用智慧來調伏自己。 如果一個人先前放縱,後來能夠自我約束,那麼他就能照亮世間,就像雲散開后月亮顯現一樣。 如果一個人先前放縱,後來能夠自我約束,那麼他就能從世間的恩愛之流中,以正念超越出來。 如果一個人在年輕力壯時出家,精勤地修習佛法,那麼他就能照亮世間,就像雲散開后月亮顯現一樣。 如果一個人在年輕力壯時出家,精勤地修習佛法,那麼他就能從世間的恩愛之流中,以正念超越出來。 如果能夠度過各種惡業,用正善來消滅它們,那麼他就能照亮世間,就像雲散開后月亮顯現一樣。』

English version: At that time, Angulimala, having become a monk, dwelt alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplating: 'Why do those of noble birth shave their hair and beard, don the monastic robes, leave their homes with true faith, become monks to practice the path, cultivate pure conduct, and realize for themselves in this very life: 'Birth is exhausted, the holy life is established, what had to be done is done, and I know that there is no more future existence.' Then, Angulimala attained Arhatship, experiencing the joy of liberation. He then spoke these verses: 'Originally bearing the name of non-harm, yet in the middle I committed much killing, now having attained the name of seeing the truth, I have forever departed from harming and killing. My bodily actions are non-harming, and so are my speech and thoughts, one should know this is true non-harming, not oppressing living beings. My hands were often stained with blood, my name was Angulimala, I was swept away by the raging current, but through taking refuge in the Three Jewels, I ceased the killing. Having taken refuge in the Three Jewels, I became a monk and received full ordination, I have achieved the three knowledges, the Buddha's teachings have been fulfilled. Cattle are tamed with a whip, elephants are subdued with an iron hook, not with swords or whips, but with the right path, I tame gods and humans. Knives are sharpened with whetstones, arrows are straightened with fire, wood is worked with axes, I tame myself with wisdom. If a person was previously unrestrained, but later can restrain themselves, then they illuminate the world, like the moon appearing when the clouds disperse. If a person was previously unrestrained, but later can restrain themselves, then they can transcend the stream of worldly affections with right mindfulness. If a person becomes a monk in their youth, diligently practicing the Buddha's teachings, then they illuminate the world, like the moon appearing when the clouds disperse. If a person becomes a monk in their youth, diligently practicing the Buddha's teachings, then they can transcend the stream of worldly affections with right mindfulness. If one can overcome all evil deeds, and extinguish them with right goodness, then they illuminate the world, like the moon appearing when the clouds disperse.'


。  人前造惡業,  正善能令滅,  於世恩愛流,  正念能超出。  我已作惡業,  必向于惡趣,  已受于惡報,  宿責食已食。  若彼我怨憎,  聞此正法者,  得清凈法眼,  於我修行忍。  不復興斗訟,  蒙佛恩力故,  我怨行忍辱,  亦常讚歎忍。  隨時聞正法,  聞已隨修行。」

佛說此經已,央瞿利摩羅聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇七八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有異比丘,于夜明相出時,出拓補河邊,脫衣著岸邊,入水洗浴。浴已上岸,被一衣,待身干。

時,有一天子放身光明,普照拓補河側,語比丘言:「汝少出家,鮮白髮黑,年始盛美,應習五欲,莊嚴瓔珞,涂香華鬘,五樂自娛,而於是時,違親背俗,悲泣別離,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道。如何舍現前樂,而求非時之利?」

比丘答言:「我不捨現前樂求非時樂,我今乃是舍非時樂得現前樂。」

天問比丘:「云何舍非時樂得現前樂?」

比丘答言:「如世尊說,非時之慾,少味多苦,少利多難。我今于現法中,已離熾然,不待時節,能自通達,現前觀察,緣自知覺

現代漢語譯本:在眾人面前造作惡業,只要行持正善就能使其消滅;對於世間的恩愛牽絆,只要保持正念就能超越。我曾經造作惡業,必定會墮入惡道;已經承受了惡報,過去的罪責也已經償還。如果那些怨恨我的人,聽聞了這正法,能夠獲得清凈的法眼,對我修行忍辱。不再興起爭鬥訴訟,蒙受佛陀的恩德力量,我的仇敵能夠修行忍辱,我也常常讚歎忍辱。隨時聽聞正法,聽聞之後就隨之修行。 佛陀說完這部經后,央掘摩羅聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一〇七八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位比丘,在黎明時分,來到拓補河邊,脫下衣服放在岸邊,進入水中洗浴。洗浴完畢上岸,披上一件衣服,等待身體乾燥。 這時,有一位天子放出光明,普照拓補河邊,對那位比丘說:『你年紀輕輕就出家,頭髮烏黑,正值盛年,應該享受五欲,佩戴華麗的裝飾,塗抹香料,佩戴花環,享受五種快樂,而在這個時候,你卻違背父母,背離世俗,悲傷哭泣地告別,剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信離開家庭,出家學道。為何要捨棄眼前的快樂,而去追求不合時宜的利益呢?』 比丘回答說:『我不是捨棄眼前的快樂去追求不合時宜的快樂,我現在是捨棄不合時宜的快樂而得到眼前的快樂。』 天子問比丘:『如何捨棄不合時宜的快樂而得到眼前的快樂呢?』 比丘回答說:『正如世尊所說,不合時宜的慾望,少有滋味卻多有痛苦,少有利益卻多有困難。我現在在現世中,已經遠離了熾熱的煩惱,不需要等待時機,就能自己通達,當下觀察,通過自己的覺知來體驗。』

English version: If one commits evil deeds in front of others, practicing righteousness can eliminate them; regarding worldly love and affection, maintaining right mindfulness can transcend them. I have committed evil deeds, and I will surely go to evil realms; I have already received evil retribution, and past debts have been repaid. If those who resent me hear this righteous teaching, they can obtain the pure Dharma eye and practice patience towards me. They will no longer engage in disputes and lawsuits, and through the Buddha's grace and power, my enemies can practice patience, and I will always praise patience. Always listen to the righteous teachings, and after hearing them, practice accordingly. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Angulimala, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1078) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu who, at the break of dawn, went to the bank of the Tapoda River, took off his clothes and placed them on the bank, and entered the water to bathe. After bathing, he came ashore, put on a single robe, and waited for his body to dry. Then, a certain deva emitted light, illuminating the bank of the Tapoda River, and said to the bhikkhu, 'You have gone forth at a young age, with black hair, in the prime of your life. You should indulge in the five sensual pleasures, adorn yourself with ornaments, apply fragrant perfumes, wear garlands, and enjoy the five kinds of happiness. Yet at this time, you have disobeyed your parents, turned your back on the world, tearfully bid farewell, shaved your head and beard, put on the robes, and with faith left your home to go forth and practice the path. Why do you abandon present happiness to seek untimely benefits?' The bhikkhu replied, 'I am not abandoning present happiness to seek untimely happiness; I am now abandoning untimely happiness to obtain present happiness.' The deva asked the bhikkhu, 'How do you abandon untimely happiness to obtain present happiness?' The bhikkhu replied, 'As the Blessed One has said, untimely desires have little taste but much suffering, little benefit but many difficulties. I have now, in this very life, become free from burning passions, and without waiting for a time, I can understand for myself, observe in the present, and experience through my own awareness.'


。如是,天子!是名舍非時樂得現前樂。」

天覆問比丘:「云何復是如來所說,非時之慾,少樂多苦?云何復是如來所說,現法利樂,乃至緣自覺知?」

比丘答言:「我年少出家,不能廣宣如來所說正法、律儀。世尊近在迦蘭陀竹園。汝可往詣如來,問其所疑,如世尊說,隨憶受持。」

天子復言:「比丘!于如來所,有諸力天眾多圍繞,我先無問,未易可詣。比丘!汝若能為先白世尊者,我可隨往。」

比丘答言:「當爲汝去!」

天白比丘:「唯然,尊者!我隨後來。」

時,彼比丘往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面,以向天子往反問答具白世尊:「今者,世尊!彼天子誠實言者須臾應至,不誠實者自當不來。」

時,彼天子遙語比丘:「我已在此,我已在此。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「眾生隨愛想,  以愛想而住,  以不知愛故,  則為死方便。」

佛告天子:「汝解此偈者,便可發問。」

天子白佛:「不解,世尊!不解,善逝!」佛復說偈而告天子曰:

「若知所愛者,  不于彼生愛,  彼此無所有,  他人莫能說。」

佛告天子:「汝解此義者,便可發問

『正是這樣,天子!這被稱為捨棄非時之樂而獲得當下的快樂。』 天人又問比丘:『什麼是如來說的非時之慾,少樂多苦?什麼又是如來說的現世利益之樂,乃至緣于自覺的認知?』 比丘回答說:『我年少出家,不能廣泛宣說如來所說的正法和戒律。世尊現在就在迦蘭陀竹園。你可以去拜訪如來,詢問你的疑惑,按照世尊所說,隨之憶持。』 天子又說:『比丘!在如來那裡,有許多有力量的天神圍繞,我如果先不問,恐怕不容易前往。比丘!你如果能先向世尊稟告,我就可以隨後前往。』 比丘回答說:『我這就為你去!』 天人對那比丘說:『好的,尊者!我隨後就到。』 當時,那比丘前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立,將先前與天人的往返問答,全部稟告世尊:『現在,世尊!如果那天的天人說的是實話,他應該很快就到,如果不是實話,他自然不會來。』 當時,那天的天人遠遠地對那比丘說:『我已在此,我已在此。』 這時,世尊就說了偈語: 『眾生隨逐愛慾,因愛慾而安住,因不知愛慾故,就成為死亡的方便。』 佛陀告訴天人:『你如果理解這偈語的意思,就可以發問了。』 天人對佛陀說:『不理解,世尊!不理解,善逝!』佛陀又說偈語告訴天人: 『如果知道所愛之物,就不會對它產生愛戀,彼此之間無所執著,他人也無法言說。』 佛陀告訴天人:『你如果理解這偈語的意思,就可以發問了。』

'So it is, heavenly being! This is called abandoning untimely pleasures and attaining present happiness.' The heavenly being then asked the monk: 'What is the untimely desire that the Tathagata speaks of, which brings little pleasure and much suffering? And what is the present benefit and happiness that the Tathagata speaks of, even to the point of self-realized knowledge?' The monk replied: 'I left home when I was young and cannot widely proclaim the true Dharma and precepts spoken by the Tathagata. The World-Honored One is now in the Karanda Bamboo Grove. You can go to the Tathagata, ask your doubts, and follow and remember what the World-Honored One says.' The heavenly being then said: 'Monk! At the Tathagata's place, there are many powerful deities surrounding him. If I do not ask first, it may not be easy to go. Monk! If you can first inform the World-Honored One, I can follow.' The monk replied: 'I will go for you!' The heavenly being said to the monk: 'Very well, venerable one! I will follow soon.' At that time, the monk went to where the Buddha was, bowed at his feet, and stood aside. He told the World-Honored One all the questions and answers he had exchanged with the heavenly being: 'Now, World-Honored One! If that heavenly being is telling the truth, he should arrive soon. If not, he will naturally not come.' At that time, the heavenly being said to the monk from afar: 'I am here, I am here.' Then, the World-Honored One spoke a verse: 'Beings follow their desires, they dwell in their desires, because they do not understand desire, they become a means to death.' The Buddha said to the heavenly being: 'If you understand the meaning of this verse, you may ask your questions.' The heavenly being said to the Buddha: 'I do not understand, World-Honored One! I do not understand, Well-Gone One!' The Buddha then spoke another verse to the heavenly being: 'If one knows what is loved, one will not generate love for it, there will be no attachment between them, and others cannot describe it.' The Buddha said to the heavenly being: 'If you understand the meaning of this verse, you may ask your questions.'


。」

天子白佛:「不解,世尊!不解,善逝!」

佛復說偈言:

「見等勝劣者,  則有言論生,  三事不傾動,  則無軟中上。」

佛告天子:「解此義者,則可發問。」

天子白佛:「不解,世尊!不解,善逝!」

佛復說偈言:

「斷愛及名色,  除慢無所繫,  寂滅息瞋恚,  離結絕悕望,  不見於人天,  此世及他世。」

佛告天子:「解此義者,乃可發問。」

天子白佛:「已解,世尊!已解,善逝!」

佛說此經已,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,即沒不現。

(一〇七九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有異比丘於後夜時至拓補河邊,脫衣置岸邊,入水洗浴。浴已,還上岸,著一衣,待身干。

時,有一天子放身光明,普照拓補河側,問比丘言:「比丘!比丘!此是丘冢,夜則起煙,晝則火然,彼婆羅門見已而作是言:『壞此丘冢,發掘者智,持以刀劍。』又見大龜,婆羅門見已,作是言:『除此大龜,發掘者智,持以刀劍。』見有氍氀,婆羅門見已,作此言:『卻此氍氀,發掘者智,持以刀劍

天子對佛說:『不明白,世尊!不明白,善逝!』 佛陀再次用偈語說道: 『當人們執著于比較優劣時,爭論就會產生;當內心不受三種事物動搖時,就不會有低、中、高的分別。』 佛陀告訴天子:『理解這個道理的人,才可以提問。』 天子對佛說:『不明白,世尊!不明白,善逝!』 佛陀再次用偈語說道: 『斷除愛慾和名色,去除我慢,不被任何事物束縛;平息寂滅,止息嗔恨,脫離煩惱的束縛,斷絕一切渴望;不執著於人天,不執著於此世和來世。』 佛陀告訴天子:『理解這個道理的人,才可以提問。』 天子對佛說:『明白了,世尊!明白了,善逝!』 佛陀說完這部經后,那位天子聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜讚歎,隨即消失不見。 (一〇七九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位比丘在後半夜來到拓補河邊,脫下衣服放在岸邊,下水洗浴。洗完澡后,回到岸上,穿上一件衣服,等待身體晾乾。 這時,有一位天子放出光明,照亮了整個拓補河邊,問比丘說:『比丘!比丘!這裡有一個土堆,晚上冒煙,白天燃燒,婆羅門看到后說:『毀掉這個土堆,挖掘的人有智慧,用刀劍來挖掘。』又看到一隻大龜,婆羅門看到后說:『除掉這隻大龜,挖掘的人有智慧,用刀劍來挖掘。』又看到一塊毛毯,婆羅門看到后說:『拿走這塊毛毯,挖掘的人有智慧,用刀劍來挖掘。』

The celestial being said to the Buddha, 'I do not understand, World Honored One! I do not understand, Well-Gone One!' The Buddha again spoke in verse: 'When people cling to comparisons of superiority and inferiority, disputes arise; when the mind is not swayed by three things, there will be no distinctions of low, medium, or high.' The Buddha told the celestial being, 'One who understands this meaning may ask questions.' The celestial being said to the Buddha, 'I do not understand, World Honored One! I do not understand, Well-Gone One!' The Buddha again spoke in verse: 'Cut off craving and name-and-form, remove conceit, and be bound by nothing; pacify and extinguish anger, break free from the bonds of affliction, and sever all desires; do not cling to humans or gods, do not cling to this world or the next.' The Buddha told the celestial being, 'One who understands this meaning may ask questions.' The celestial being said to the Buddha, 'I understand, World Honored One! I understand, Well-Gone One!' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, that celestial being, having heard the Buddha's teachings, rejoiced and praised, and then immediately disappeared. (1079) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, a certain bhikkhu, in the latter part of the night, went to the bank of the Tapoda River, took off his robes and placed them on the bank, and entered the water to bathe. Having bathed, he returned to the bank, put on one robe, and waited for his body to dry. Then, a certain celestial being, emitting light, illuminated the entire bank of the Tapoda River, and asked the bhikkhu, 'Bhikkhu! Bhikkhu! Here is a mound that smokes at night and burns during the day. The Brahmin, having seen it, said, 'Destroy this mound, the one who digs it has wisdom, use swords to dig it.' Then he saw a large turtle, and the Brahmin, having seen it, said, 'Remove this large turtle, the one who digs it has wisdom, use swords to dig it.' Then he saw a rug, and the Brahmin, having seen it, said, 'Take away this rug, the one who digs it has wisdom, use swords to dig it.'


。』見有肉段,彼婆羅門見已,作是言:『除此肉段,發掘者智,持以刀劍。』見有屠殺,婆羅門見已,作是言:『壞是屠殺處,發掘者智,持以刀劍。』見有楞耆,彼婆羅門見已,作是言:『卻此楞耆,發掘者智,持以刀劍。』見有二道,彼婆羅門見已,作是言:『除此二道,發掘者智,持以刀劍。』見有門扇,婆羅門見已,作是言:『卻此門扇,發掘者智,持以刀劍。』見有大龍,婆羅門見已,作是言:『止!勿卻大龍,應當恭敬。』比丘!汝來受此論,往問世尊,如佛所說,汝隨受持。所以者何?除如來,我不見世間諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門於此論心悅樂者,若諸弟子從我所聞,然後能說。」

爾時,比丘從彼天所聞此論已,往詣世尊,稽首禮足,退坐一面。以彼天子所問諸論廣問世尊:「云何為丘冢?云何為夜則起煙?云何為晝則火然?云何是婆羅門?云何發掘?云何智者?云何刀劍?云何為大龜?云何氍氀?云何為肉段?云何為屠殺處?云何為楞耆?云何為二道?云何為門扇?云何為大龍?」

佛告比丘:「丘冢者,謂眾生身,粗四大色父母遺體,摶食、衣服、覆蓋、澡浴、摩飾、長養,皆是變壞磨滅之法。夜起煙者,謂有人于夜時起,隨覺隨觀。晝行其教,身業、口業

現代漢語譯本:『看見有肉塊,那位婆羅門看見后,這樣說:『除去這肉塊,發掘者的智慧,用刀劍來處理。』看見有屠宰場,婆羅門看見后,這樣說:『毀壞這屠宰場,發掘者的智慧,用刀劍來處理。』看見有障礙物,那位婆羅門看見后,這樣說:『移開這障礙物,發掘者的智慧,用刀劍來處理。』看見有兩條道路,那位婆羅門看見后,這樣說:『除去這兩條道路,發掘者的智慧,用刀劍來處理。』看見有門扇,婆羅門看見后,這樣說:『移開這門扇,發掘者的智慧,用刀劍來處理。』看見有大龍,婆羅門看見后,這樣說:『停!不要移開大龍,應當恭敬。』比丘!你來接受這個論點,去問世尊,如果佛陀這樣說,你就隨之接受並奉行。為什麼呢?除了如來,我沒有看見世間諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門對這個論點感到喜悅的,如果弟子們從我這裡聽到,然後才能說出來。』 當時,比丘從那位天人那裡聽到這個論點后,前往世尊那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。把那位天人所問的各種論點廣泛地問世尊:『什麼是丘冢?什麼是夜晚升起的煙?什麼是白天燃燒的火?什麼是婆羅門?什麼是發掘?什麼是智者?什麼是刀劍?什麼是大龜?什麼是毛毯?什麼是肉塊?什麼是屠宰場?什麼是障礙物?什麼是兩條道路?什麼是門扇?什麼是大龍?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『丘冢,指的是眾生的身體,粗大的四大色身,父母遺留的身體,通過食物、衣服、覆蓋、洗浴、裝飾、滋養而成長,都是會變化、毀壞、磨滅的法則。夜晚升起的煙,指的是有人在夜晚起身,隨著感覺和觀察。白天實行他的教導,身業、口業』

English version: 'Seeing a piece of meat, that Brahmin, having seen it, said: 'Remove this piece of meat, the wisdom of the excavator, handle it with swords.' Seeing a slaughterhouse, the Brahmin, having seen it, said: 'Destroy this slaughterhouse, the wisdom of the excavator, handle it with swords.' Seeing an obstacle, that Brahmin, having seen it, said: 'Remove this obstacle, the wisdom of the excavator, handle it with swords.' Seeing two paths, that Brahmin, having seen it, said: 'Remove these two paths, the wisdom of the excavator, handle it with swords.' Seeing a door panel, the Brahmin, having seen it, said: 'Remove this door panel, the wisdom of the excavator, handle it with swords.' Seeing a great dragon, the Brahmin, having seen it, said: 'Stop! Do not remove the great dragon, you should be respectful.' Bhikkhu! You come and accept this argument, go and ask the World Honored One, if the Buddha says so, you should accept and follow it. Why is that? Except for the Tathagata, I have not seen any gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, or Brahmins in the world who are pleased with this argument, if the disciples hear it from me, then they can speak about it.' At that time, the bhikkhu, having heard this argument from that deva, went to the World Honored One, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side. He extensively asked the World Honored One about the various arguments that the deva had asked: 'What is a mound? What is the smoke that rises at night? What is the fire that burns during the day? What is a Brahmin? What is excavation? What is a wise person? What are swords? What is a great turtle? What is a rug? What is a piece of meat? What is a slaughterhouse? What is an obstacle? What are two paths? What is a door panel? What is a great dragon?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'A mound refers to the body of sentient beings, the coarse four great elements, the body inherited from parents, which grows through food, clothing, covering, bathing, adornment, and nourishment, all of which are subject to change, destruction, and annihilation. The smoke that rises at night refers to someone who gets up at night, following their feelings and observations. During the day, they practice their teachings, through bodily actions and verbal actions.'


。婆羅門者,謂如來、應、等正覺。發掘者,謂精勤方便。智士者,謂多聞聖弟子。刀劍者,謂智慧刀劍。大龜者,謂五蓋。氍氀者,謂忿恨。肉段者,謂慳嫉。屠殺者,謂五欲功德。楞耆者,謂無明。二道,謂疑惑。門扇者,謂我慢。大龍者,謂漏盡羅漢。如是,比丘!若大師為聲聞所作,哀愍悲念,以義安慰,于汝已作,汝等當作所作,當於曝露、林中、空舍、山澤、巖窟,敷草樹葉,思惟禪思,不起放逸,莫令後悔,是則為我隨順之教。」即說偈言:

「說身為丘冢,  覺觀夜起煙,  晝業為火然,  婆羅門正覺。  精進勤發掘,  黠慧明智士,  以智慧利劍,  厭離勝進者。  五蓋為巨龜,  忿恨為氍氀,  慳嫉為肉段,  五欲屠殺處。  無明為楞耆,  疑惑於二道,  門扇現我慢,  漏盡羅漢龍。  究竟斷諸論,  故我如是說。」

佛說此經已,彼比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇八〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。

爾時,世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入波羅㮈城乞食。

時,有異比丘以不住心,其心惑亂,不攝諸根,晨朝著衣持缽,入波羅㮈城乞食。是比丘遙見世尊,見已,攝持諸根,端視而行

現代漢語譯本:婆羅門,指的是如來、應供、正等覺。發掘,指的是精勤方便。智士,指的是多聞的聖弟子。刀劍,指的是智慧的刀劍。大龜,指的是五蓋。氍氀,指的是忿恨。肉段,指的是慳吝嫉妒。屠殺,指的是五欲的功德。楞耆,指的是無明。二道,指的是疑惑。門扇,指的是我慢。大龍,指的是漏盡的羅漢。比丘們!如果大師為聲聞所做,以慈悲憐憫之心,用道理安慰你們,已經為你們做了,你們應當做的事情,應當在空曠的地方、樹林中、空屋裡、山澤、巖洞中,鋪上草和樹葉,思考禪定,不要放縱懈怠,不要讓自己後悔,這就是我隨順教導你們的道理。』於是說了偈語: 『說身體如同墳冢,覺察觀想如夜間升起的煙,白天的行為如同燃燒的火焰,婆羅門是正覺。精進勤奮地發掘,聰慧明智的智士,用智慧的利劍,厭離並超越。五蓋如同巨大的烏龜,忿恨如同氍氀,慳吝嫉妒如同肉段,五欲是屠殺的場所。無明如同楞耆,疑惑如同在兩條道路上徘徊,門扇顯現我慢,漏盡的羅漢如同大龍。最終斷除一切爭論,所以我這樣說。』 佛陀說完這部經后,那些比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一〇八〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國的仙人居住地鹿野苑中。 那時,世尊早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入波羅奈城乞食。 當時,有一位比丘因為心神不定,內心迷惑混亂,不能攝持諸根,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入波羅奈城乞食。這位比丘遠遠地看見世尊,看見后,就收攝自己的諸根,端正地看著前方行走。

English version: 'Brahmin' refers to the Tathagata, the worthy one, the fully enlightened one. 'Excavation' refers to diligent effort and skillful means. 'Wise person' refers to a learned noble disciple. 'Sword' refers to the sword of wisdom. 'Great turtle' refers to the five hindrances. 'Rug' refers to anger and resentment. 'Piece of meat' refers to stinginess and jealousy. 'Slaughter' refers to the merits of the five desires. 'Lengi' refers to ignorance. 'Two paths' refers to doubt. 'Door panel' refers to conceit. 'Great dragon' refers to an Arhat who has exhausted all outflows. Thus, bhikkhus, if the master has done for the disciples what should be done, with compassion and pity, comforting you with reason, what has been done for you, you should do what should be done, you should meditate in open spaces, in forests, in empty houses, in mountains and marshes, in caves, spreading grass and leaves, contemplating meditation, not indulging in negligence, not letting yourselves regret, this is the teaching that I follow.' Then he spoke the verse: 'The body is said to be like a mound, perception and contemplation are like smoke rising at night, daytime actions are like a burning fire, the Brahmin is the fully enlightened one. Diligently excavate with effort, the wise and intelligent person, with the sharp sword of wisdom, renounces and surpasses. The five hindrances are like a giant turtle, anger and resentment are like a rug, stinginess and jealousy are like a piece of meat, the five desires are the place of slaughter. Ignorance is like lengi, doubt is like being on two paths, the door panel reveals conceit, the Arhat who has exhausted all outflows is like a great dragon. Ultimately cutting off all arguments, therefore I say this.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, those bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1080) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at Isipatana in Varanasi. Then, the World Honored One, in the morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered the city of Varanasi to beg for alms. At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu whose mind was not settled, his mind was confused and disordered, and he could not control his senses. In the morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, he entered the city of Varanasi to beg for alms. This bhikkhu saw the World Honored One from afar, and having seen him, he restrained his senses and walked with his eyes fixed straight ahead.


。世尊見是比丘攝持諸根,端視而行,見已入城。乞食畢,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,入室坐禪。晡時從禪覺,入僧中,敷坐具,于大眾前坐,告諸比丘:「我今晨朝著衣持缽,入波羅㮈城乞食,見有比丘!以不住心、惑亂心,諸根放散,亦持衣缽入城乞食,彼遙見我,即自斂攝竟,為是誰?」

時,彼比丘從座起,整衣服,到于佛前,偏袒右肩,合掌白佛:「世尊!我于晨朝入城乞食,其心惑亂,不攝諸根行,遙見世尊,即自斂心,攝持諸根。」

佛告比丘:「善哉!善哉!汝見我已,能自斂心,攝持諸根。比丘!是法應當如是。若見比丘,亦應自攝持。若復見比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷,亦當如是攝持諸根,當得長夜以義饒益,安隱快樂。」

爾時,眾中復有異比丘說偈嘆曰:

「以其心迷亂,  不專繫念住,  晨朝持衣缽,  入城邑乞食。  中路見大師,  威德容儀備,  欣悅生慚愧,  即攝持諸根。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:世尊看到這位比丘收攝諸根,端正地看著前方行走,看到他進入城中。乞食完畢后,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳后,進入房間坐禪。傍晚時分從禪定中醒來,來到僧眾中,鋪好坐具,在大眾面前坐下,告訴眾比丘:『我今天早上穿好衣服拿著缽,進入波羅奈城乞食,看到一位比丘!他心神不定、心緒煩亂,諸根放散,也拿著衣缽進入城中乞食,他遠遠地看到我,立刻就收斂起來了,這個人是誰?』 當時,那位比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,來到佛前,袒露右肩,合掌對佛說:『世尊!我今天早上進入城中乞食,心緒煩亂,沒有收攝諸根行走,遠遠地看到世尊,立刻就收斂心神,收攝諸根。』 佛告訴比丘:『好啊!好啊!你看到我之後,能夠自己收斂心神,收攝諸根。比丘!法應當如此。如果看到其他比丘,也應當自我收攝。如果再看到比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷,也應當這樣收攝諸根,這樣才能長久地獲得正義的利益,安穩快樂。』 當時,眾中又有另一位比丘用偈頌讚嘆說: 『因為心迷亂,不專心繫念,早上拿著衣缽,進入城邑乞食。半路見到大師,威嚴德行具備,歡喜生起慚愧,立刻收攝諸根。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version: The World Honored One saw this monk controlling his senses, walking with his eyes fixed straight ahead, and saw him enter the city. After begging for alms, he returned to the monastery, put away his robes and bowl, washed his feet, and entered his room to meditate. In the evening, he awoke from meditation, went to the assembly of monks, spread out his seat, and sat down before the assembly, telling the monks: 'This morning, I put on my robes and took my bowl, and entered the city of Varanasi to beg for alms. I saw a monk! His mind was unsettled and confused, his senses were scattered, and he also entered the city to beg for alms with his bowl. He saw me from afar and immediately composed himself. Who is this person?' At that time, that monk rose from his seat, adjusted his robes, went before the Buddha, bared his right shoulder, and with his palms together, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! This morning, I entered the city to beg for alms, my mind was confused, and I did not control my senses as I walked. When I saw the World Honored One from afar, I immediately composed my mind and controlled my senses.' The Buddha said to the monk: 'Excellent! Excellent! After seeing me, you were able to compose your mind and control your senses. Monk! The Dharma should be like this. If you see other monks, you should also control yourself. If you see nuns, laymen, or laywomen, you should also control your senses in this way, so that you may obtain the benefit of righteousness for a long time, and be peaceful and happy.' At that time, another monk in the assembly praised with a verse: 'Because the mind is confused, not focused on mindfulness, in the morning, holding robes and bowl, entering the city to beg for alms. On the way, seeing the great master, with majestic virtue and appearance, joy and shame arose, and immediately the senses were controlled.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

一時,佛住波羅㮈國鹿野苑中。

爾時,世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入波羅㮈城乞食。時,有異比丘著衣持缽,入城乞食,于其路邊,住一樹下,起不善覺,以依惡貪。

爾時,世尊見彼比丘住一樹下,以生不善覺,依惡貪嗜,而告之曰:「比丘!比丘!莫種苦種,而發熏生臭,汁漏流出。若比丘種苦種子,自發生臭,汁漏流出者,欲令蛆蠅不競集者,無有是處!」

時,彼比丘作是念:「世尊知我心之惡念。」即生恐怖,身毛皆豎。

爾時,世尊入城乞食畢,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,入室坐禪。晡時從禪覺,至於僧中,于眾前敷座而坐,告諸比丘:「我今晨朝著衣持缽,入城乞食,見一比丘住于樹下,以生不善覺,依惡貪嗜。我時見已,即告之言:『比丘!比丘!莫種苦種,發熏生臭,惡汁流出。若有比丘種苦種子,發熏生臭,惡汁流出,蛆蠅不集,無有是處!』時,彼比丘即思念:『佛已知我心之所念。』慚愧恐怖,心驚毛豎,隨路而去

那時,世尊早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入波羅奈城乞食。當時,有一位比丘也穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入城中乞食,在路邊,他站在一棵樹下,生起了不善的念頭,因為依附於邪惡的貪慾。

那時,世尊看見那位比丘站在一棵樹下,因為生起了不善的念頭,依附於邪惡的貪慾,就告訴他說:『比丘!比丘!不要種下苦的種子,而散發出熏臭的氣味,汁液漏流出來。如果比丘種下苦的種子,自己散發出臭味,汁液漏流出來,卻想讓蛆蠅不聚集,這是不可能的!』

當時,那位比丘這樣想:『世尊知道我心中的惡念。』立刻感到恐懼,渾身汗毛都豎了起來。

那時,世尊在城中乞食完畢,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,進入房間坐禪。傍晚時分,從禪定中醒來,來到僧眾中,在大家面前鋪好座位坐下,告訴眾比丘:『我今天早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入城中乞食,看見一位比丘站在樹下,因為生起了不善的念頭,依附於邪惡的貪慾。我當時看見后,就告訴他說:『比丘!比丘!不要種下苦的種子,散發出熏臭的氣味,惡臭的汁液流出來。如果有比丘種下苦的種子,散發出熏臭的氣味,惡臭的汁液流出來,卻想讓蛆蠅不聚集,這是不可能的!』當時,那位比丘就想:『佛已經知道我心中的想法了。』感到慚愧和恐懼,心驚膽戰,沿著路離開了。

The Miscellaneous Āgama Sutra, Scroll 39

Translated by Tripiṭaka Guṇabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

(1081)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at Benares in the country of Varanasi.

At that time, the World-Honored One, in the morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered the city of Varanasi to beg for food. At that time, there was another bhikkhu who, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered the city to beg for food. By the side of the road, he stood under a tree, and arose unwholesome thoughts, due to attachment to evil greed.

At that time, the World-Honored One saw that bhikkhu standing under a tree, having arisen unwholesome thoughts, due to attachment to evil greed, and said to him: 'Bhikkhu! Bhikkhu! Do not sow the seeds of suffering, which emit a foul, stinking odor, and from which juices leak out. If a bhikkhu sows the seeds of suffering, from which a foul odor arises, and from which juices leak out, and yet wishes that maggots and flies would not gather, there is no such possibility!'

At that time, that bhikkhu thought: 'The World-Honored One knows the evil thoughts in my mind.' He immediately felt fear, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

At that time, the World-Honored One, having finished begging for food in the city, returned to the monastery, put away his robes and bowl, washed his feet, and entered his room to meditate. In the evening, having awakened from meditation, he came to the assembly of monks, spread out his seat in front of the assembly, and sat down. He told the bhikkhus: 'This morning, having put on my robes and taken my bowl, I entered the city to beg for food, and saw a bhikkhu standing under a tree, having arisen unwholesome thoughts, due to attachment to evil greed. When I saw him, I said to him: 'Bhikkhu! Bhikkhu! Do not sow the seeds of suffering, which emit a foul, stinking odor, and from which foul juices leak out. If a bhikkhu sows the seeds of suffering, from which a foul odor arises, and from which foul juices leak out, and yet wishes that maggots and flies would not gather, there is no such possibility!' At that time, that bhikkhu thought: 'The Buddha already knows the thoughts in my mind.' He felt ashamed and afraid, his heart trembled, and he left along the road.


。」

時,有異比丘從坐起,整衣服,偏袒右肩,合掌白佛:「世尊!云何苦種?云何生臭?云何汁流?云何蛆蠅?」

佛告比丘:「忿怒煩怨,名曰苦種。五欲功德,名為生臭。於六觸入處不攝律儀,是名汁流。謂觸入處不攝已,貪、憂、諸惡不善心競生,是名蛆蠅。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「耳目不防護,  貪慾從是生,  是名為苦種。  生臭汁潛流,  諸覺觀氣味,  依于惡貪嗜,  聚落及空處,  若於晝若夜,  遠離修梵行,  究竟於苦邊,  若內心寂靜,  決定諦明瞭。  臥覺常安樂,  諸惡蛆蠅滅,  正士所習近,  善說賢聖路。  了知八正道,  不還更受身。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇八二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食畢,還精舍,洗足已,入安陀林坐禪。

時,有異比丘亦復晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食畢,還精舍,洗足已,入安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受。是比丘入晝正受時,有惡不善覺起,依貪嗜心

現代漢語譯本: 當時,有一位不同的比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,袒露右肩,合掌向佛陀稟告:『世尊!什麼是苦的根源?什麼是產生臭味的原因?什麼是汁液流淌的原因?什麼是蛆蠅?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『忿怒和煩惱怨恨,叫做苦的根源。五種慾望的享樂,叫做產生臭味的原因。在六種感官接觸的地方不加以約束,就叫做汁液流淌。如果對感官接觸的地方不加以約束,貪婪、憂愁、各種邪惡不善的心就會競相產生,這就叫做蛆蠅。』當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『如果耳目不加以防護,貪慾就會由此產生,這就是所謂的苦的根源。產生臭味,汁液暗中流淌,各種感覺和觀念就像氣味一樣,依賴於邪惡的貪婪和嗜好。無論在村落還是空曠的地方,無論白天還是夜晚,如果遠離修行清凈的行為,最終都會走向痛苦的邊緣。如果內心寂靜,就能明確地認識真理。躺臥和醒來時都會感到安樂,各種邪惡的蛆蠅都會消滅。這是正直的人所親近的,是善說賢聖之路。瞭解八正道,就不會再輪迴受生。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (一〇八二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,洗完腳,進入安陀林坐禪。 當時,有一位不同的比丘也早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,洗完腳,進入安陀林,在一棵樹下坐著,進入白天的禪定。這位比丘在進入白天禪定時,產生了邪惡不善的念頭,依賴於貪婪和嗜好的心。

English version: At that time, a certain bhikkhu rose from his seat, arranged his robe, bared his right shoulder, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, what is the root of suffering? What is the cause of foul odor? What is the cause of oozing? What are maggots and flies?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'Anger and resentment are called the root of suffering. The pleasures of the five senses are called the cause of foul odor. Not restraining the six sense entrances is called oozing. When the sense entrances are not restrained, greed, sorrow, and various evil and unwholesome thoughts arise in competition; these are called maggots and flies.' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 'If the ears and eyes are not guarded, greed arises from this; this is called the root of suffering. Foul odor arises, and oozing flows secretly. Various perceptions and thoughts are like odors, relying on evil greed and craving. Whether in villages or empty places, whether by day or by night, if one abandons the practice of pure conduct, one will ultimately reach the edge of suffering. If the mind is peaceful, one will surely understand the truth. Lying down and waking up, one will always be at ease, and all evil maggots and flies will be destroyed. This is what the righteous practice, the well-spoken path of the noble ones. Understanding the Eightfold Path, one will not return to be reborn.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (1082) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the World-Honored One, in the morning, having dressed and taken his bowl, entered Savatthi to beg for alms. Having finished his meal, he returned to the monastery, washed his feet, and entered the Andha Grove to meditate. At that time, a certain bhikkhu also, in the morning, having dressed and taken his bowl, entered Savatthi to beg for alms. Having finished his meal, he returned to the monastery, washed his feet, and entered the Andha Grove, sat under a tree, and entered the midday meditation. While this bhikkhu was in midday meditation, evil and unwholesome thoughts arose, relying on greed and craving.


時,有天神,依安陀林住止者,作是念:「此比丘不善不類,于安陀林坐禪而起不善覺,心依惡貪,我當往呵責。」作是念已,往語比丘言:「比丘!比丘!作瘡疣耶?」

比丘答言:「當治令愈!」

天神語比丘:「瘡如鐵鑊,云何可復?」

比丘答言:「正念正智,足能令復。」

天神白言:「善哉!善哉!此是真賢治瘡,如是治瘡,究竟能愈,無有發時。」

爾時,世尊晡時從禪覺,還祇樹給孤獨園。入僧中,于大眾前敷座而坐,告諸比丘:「我今晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。乞食還,至安陀林坐禪,入晝正受。有一比丘亦乞食還至安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受,而彼比丘起不善覺,心依惡貪。有天神依安陀林住,語比丘言:『比丘!比丘!作瘡疣耶?』……」如上廣說,乃至「『如是,比丘!善哉!善哉!此治眾賢。』」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「士夫作瘡疣,  自生於苦患,  愿求世間欲,  心依于惡貪。  以生瘡疣故,  蛆蠅競來集,  愛慾為瘡疣,  蛆蠅諸惡覺。  及諸貪嗜心,  皆悉從意生,  鉆鑿士夫心,  以求華名利。  慾火轉熾然,  妄想不善覺,  身心日夜羸,  遠離寂靜道

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位住在安陀林的天神,心想:『這位比丘行為不端,不適合在安陀林坐禪,反而生起不善的念頭,內心依附於邪惡的貪慾,我應當前去呵責他。』 這樣想著,天神就去對比丘說:『比丘!比丘!你這是在製造瘡疣嗎?』 比丘回答說:『我正在治療,要讓它痊癒!』 天神對那比丘說:『你的瘡像鐵鍋一樣,怎麼可能治好呢?』 比丘回答說:『正念和正智,足以讓它痊癒。』 天神讚歎道:『好啊!好啊!這才是真正賢能的治療瘡的方法,這樣治療,最終能夠痊癒,不會再復發。』 這時,世尊在下午從禪定中醒來,回到祇樹給孤獨園。進入僧眾之中,在大眾面前鋪好座位坐下,告訴眾比丘:『我今天早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。乞食回來后,到安陀林坐禪,進入午間禪定。有一位比丘也乞食回來,到了安陀林,在一棵樹下坐著,進入午間禪定,而那位比丘卻生起了不善的念頭,內心依附於邪惡的貪慾。有一位住在安陀林的天神,對那位比丘說:「比丘!比丘!你這是在製造瘡疣嗎?」』……像上面所說的詳細過程,直到『「是啊,比丘!好啊!好啊!這是賢能的治療方法。」』 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『人若製造瘡疣,自己就會生出苦患,渴望追求世間的慾望,內心依附於邪惡的貪慾。 因為生出瘡疣的緣故,蛆蠅競相聚集,愛慾就像瘡疣,蛆蠅就像各種惡念。 以及各種貪婪的慾望,都從意念產生,鉆鑿著人的內心,爲了追求虛名和利益。 貪慾之火更加熾熱,妄想和不善的念頭,使身心日夜衰弱,遠離了寂靜之道。』

English version: At that time, a certain deity who resided in Andhavana thought, 『This bhikkhu is not behaving well; it is not appropriate for him to meditate in Andhavana. Instead, he is giving rise to unwholesome thoughts, his mind clinging to evil greed. I should go and rebuke him.』 Having thought this, the deity went to the bhikkhu and said, 『Bhikkhu! Bhikkhu! Are you creating a sore?』 The bhikkhu replied, 『I am treating it, so it will heal!』 The deity said to the bhikkhu, 『Your sore is like an iron pot; how can it possibly be healed?』 The bhikkhu replied, 『Right mindfulness and right wisdom are sufficient to heal it.』 The deity exclaimed, 『Well done! Well done! This is the truly wise way to treat a sore. Treated in this way, it will ultimately heal and not recur.』 Then, the Blessed One, in the afternoon, arose from meditation and returned to Jeta』s Grove, Anathapindika』s Park. He entered the assembly of monks, sat down on the seat prepared for him in front of the assembly, and said to the bhikkhus, 『This morning, I dressed, took my bowl, and entered Savatthi for alms. After returning from alms, I went to Andhavana to meditate, entering the midday meditation. A certain bhikkhu also returned from alms, went to Andhavana, sat under a tree, and entered the midday meditation. However, that bhikkhu gave rise to unwholesome thoughts, his mind clinging to evil greed. A deity who resided in Andhavana said to that bhikkhu, 「Bhikkhu! Bhikkhu! Are you creating a sore?」』… as described in detail above, up to 『「Yes, bhikkhu! Well done! Well done! This is a wise way to treat it.」』 Then, the Blessed One spoke these verses: 『A person who creates a sore, brings suffering upon themselves, desiring worldly pleasures, their mind clinging to evil greed. Because of creating a sore, maggots and flies gather, desire is like a sore, and maggots are like various evil thoughts. And all kinds of greedy desires, arise from the mind, drilling into the person』s heart, seeking fame and gain. The fire of desire grows hotter, delusions and unwholesome thoughts, weaken the body and mind day and night, leading away from the path of peace.』


。  若內心寂靜,  決定智明瞭,  無有斯瘡疣,  見佛安隱路。  正士所游跡,  賢聖善宣說,  明智所知道,  不復受諸有。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇八三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離國獼猴池側重閣講堂。時,有眾多比丘晨朝著衣持缽,入毗舍離乞食。

時,有年少比丘出家未久,不閑法、律,當乞食時,不知先後次第。余比丘見已而告之言:「汝是年少,出家未久,未知法、律,莫越!莫重!前後失次而行乞食,長夜當得不饒益苦。」

年少比丘言:「諸上座亦復越次,不隨前後,非獨我也。」如是再三,不能令止。

眾多比丘乞食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我等晨朝著衣持缽,入毗舍離乞食,有一年少比丘!於此法、律出家未久,行乞食時不以次第,前後復重。諸比丘等再三諫不受,而作是言:『諸上座亦不次第,何故呵我?』我等諸比丘三呵不受,故來白世尊。唯愿世尊為除非法,哀愍故!」

佛告諸比丘:「如空澤中有大湖水,有大龍象而居其中,拔諸藕根,洗去泥土,然後食之。食已,身體肥悅,多力多樂,以是因緣,常喜樂住

現代漢語譯本:如果內心寂靜,就能明瞭決定的智慧,沒有這些瑕疵和污點,就能見到佛陀安穩的道路。這是正直的人所行走的道路,賢聖之人善於宣說的,明智之人所知道的,不再受輪迴之苦。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一〇八三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離國獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。當時,有許多比丘在早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入毗舍離城乞食。 當時,有一位年輕的比丘出家不久,不熟悉佛法和戒律,在乞食時,不知道先後的次序。其他比丘看到后就告訴他說:『你還年輕,出家不久,不瞭解佛法和戒律,不要越過次序!不要重複!前後次序顛倒地乞食,長久下去會得到沒有利益的痛苦。』 年輕的比丘說:『各位上座也越過次序,不按前後順序,不只是我這樣。』這樣說了三次,也不能讓他停止。 眾多比丘乞食完畢,回到精舍,收拾好衣缽,洗完腳后,來到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我們早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入毗舍離城乞食,有一位年輕的比丘!在這個佛法和戒律中出家不久,乞食時不按次序,前後重複。各位比丘多次勸諫他,他都不接受,還說:『各位上座也不按次序,為什麼要責備我?』我們這些比丘勸說了三次他都不接受,所以來稟告世尊。希望世尊爲了去除不合法的行為,慈悲憐憫我們!』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『就像空曠的沼澤中有個大湖,裡面住著大龍象,它們拔出蓮藕的根,洗去泥土,然後吃掉。吃完后,身體肥壯,力氣大,快樂,因為這個原因,常常喜歡住在那裡。』

English version: If the mind is tranquil, the wisdom of decision becomes clear. Without these flaws and blemishes, one can see the peaceful path of the Buddha. This is the path walked by the righteous, well-proclaimed by the wise and holy, known by the intelligent, and one will no longer suffer the cycle of rebirth. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1083) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the multi-storied lecture hall by the Monkey Pond in the country of Vaishali. At that time, many monks, having put on their robes in the morning and taken their bowls, entered Vaishali to beg for alms. At that time, there was a young monk who had not been ordained for long, and was not familiar with the Dharma and the Vinaya. When begging for alms, he did not know the proper order. The other monks, having seen this, told him: 'You are young, and have not been ordained for long, and do not understand the Dharma and the Vinaya. Do not skip the order! Do not repeat! Begging for alms out of order will lead to suffering without benefit in the long run.' The young monk said: 'The senior monks also skip the order, not following the proper sequence, it is not just me.' He said this three times, and could not be stopped. The many monks, having finished begging for alms, returned to the monastery, put away their robes and bowls, washed their feet, and went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and sat to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable One! We, having put on our robes in the morning and taken our bowls, entered Vaishali to beg for alms. There was a young monk! Who has not been ordained for long in this Dharma and Vinaya, when begging for alms, he does not follow the order, repeating the sequence. The monks have advised him many times, but he does not accept it, and says: 'The senior monks also do not follow the order, why do you scold me?' We monks have advised him three times, and he does not accept it, so we have come to report to the Venerable One. We hope that the Venerable One will eliminate this unlawful behavior, out of compassion for us!' The Buddha told the monks: 'It is like in an empty swamp there is a large lake, in which live large dragon elephants, they pull out the roots of the lotus, wash away the mud, and then eat them. After eating, their bodies are strong, they have great strength, and are happy, and for this reason, they always like to live there.'


。有異種族象,形體羸小,效彼龍象,拔其藕根,洗不能凈,合泥土食。食之不消,體不肥悅,轉轉羸弱,緣斯致死,或同死苦。

「如是,宿德比丘學道日久,不樂嬉戲,久修梵行,大師所嘆,諸餘明智修梵行者亦復加嘆。是等比丘依止城邑聚落,晨朝著衣持缽,入城乞食,善護身口,善攝諸根,專心繫念,能令彼人不信者信、信者不異,若得財利、衣被、飲食、床臥、湯藥,不染、不著、不貪、不嗜、不迷、不逐,見其過患,見其出離,然復食之。食已,身心悅澤,得色得力,以是因緣,常得安樂。

「彼年少比丘出家未久,未閑法、律,依諸長老,依止聚落,著衣持缽,入村乞食,不善護身,不守根門,不專繫念,不能令彼不信者信、信者不變。若得財利、衣被、飲食、臥具、湯藥,染著貪逐,不見過患,不見出離,以嗜慾心食,不能令身悅澤,安隱快樂。緣斯食故,轉向于死,或同死苦。所言死者,謂舍戒還俗,失正法、正律。同死苦者,謂犯正法、律,不識罪相,不知除罪。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「龍象拔藕根,  水洗而食之,  異族象效彼,  合泥而取食。  因雜泥食故,  羸病遂至死。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:有一種異種族的大象,形體瘦小,模仿龍象的樣子,去拔藕根,洗也洗不乾淨,連著泥土一起吃。吃了之後不能消化,身體不健壯,反而越來越虛弱,因此導致死亡,或者遭受同樣的死亡痛苦。 像這樣,有德行的比丘學道時間長了,不喜歡嬉戲,長期修行清凈的行為,受到大師的讚歎,其他明智的修行者也讚歎他們。這些比丘住在城鎮村落,早晨穿好衣服拿著缽,進入城裡乞食,善於守護身口,善於攝持諸根,專心繫念,能夠使那些不信的人產生信仰,使那些已經信仰的人更加堅定。如果得到財物、衣服、飲食、床鋪、湯藥,他們不會被染污、執著、貪婪、嗜好、迷惑、追逐,他們看到這些東西的過患,看到從中解脫的途徑,然後才食用。吃完之後,身心愉悅,得到氣色和力量,因為這個原因,常常感到安樂。 那些年輕的比丘出家時間不長,不熟悉佛法和戒律,依靠著長老,住在村落里,穿好衣服拿著缽,進入村裡乞食,不善於守護自身,不守住根門,不專心繫念,不能使那些不信的人產生信仰,也不能使那些已經信仰的人更加堅定。如果得到財物、衣服、飲食、臥具、湯藥,他們會染著、貪婪、追逐,看不到這些東西的過患,看不到從中解脫的途徑,以貪慾的心食用,不能使身體愉悅,安穩快樂。因為這樣的飲食,他們走向死亡,或者遭受同樣的死亡痛苦。這裡所說的死亡,是指捨棄戒律還俗,失去正法和正律。所說的同樣的死亡痛苦,是指違犯正法和戒律,不認識罪過的表現,不知道如何消除罪過。』當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『龍象拔藕根,用水洗凈后食用,異種象模仿它們,連著泥土一起吃。因為吃了雜有泥土的食物,身體虛弱生病,最終導致死亡。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version: There is a different kind of elephant, small in stature, imitating the dragon elephant, pulling up lotus roots, unable to wash them clean, and eating them with the mud. After eating, it cannot digest, its body does not become strong, but instead becomes weaker, leading to death, or suffering the same pain of death. Like this, virtuous monks who have studied the Way for a long time do not enjoy playing, practice pure conduct for a long time, are praised by the master, and other wise practitioners also praise them. These monks live in towns and villages, get dressed in the morning, carry their bowls, enter the city to beg for food, are good at guarding their body and mouth, are good at controlling their senses, focus their minds, and are able to make those who do not believe have faith, and make those who already believe more steadfast. If they receive wealth, clothing, food, bedding, or medicine, they are not defiled, attached, greedy, addicted, confused, or chasing after them. They see the faults of these things, see the way to liberation from them, and then they eat. After eating, their body and mind are joyful, they gain color and strength, and for this reason, they often feel at peace. Those young monks who have not been ordained for long, are not familiar with the Dharma and precepts, rely on the elders, live in villages, get dressed, carry their bowls, enter the village to beg for food, are not good at guarding themselves, do not guard their senses, do not focus their minds, and cannot make those who do not believe have faith, nor can they make those who already believe more steadfast. If they receive wealth, clothing, food, bedding, or medicine, they become defiled, greedy, and chase after them. They do not see the faults of these things, do not see the way to liberation from them, and eat with a greedy mind, unable to make their bodies joyful, peaceful, and happy. Because of this kind of eating, they move towards death, or suffer the same pain of death. The death referred to here means abandoning the precepts and returning to lay life, losing the true Dharma and true precepts. The same pain of death refers to violating the true Dharma and precepts, not recognizing the signs of sin, and not knowing how to eliminate sin.』 At that time, the World Honored One spoke the following verse: 'The dragon elephant pulls up lotus roots, washes them with water and eats them, the different kind of elephant imitates them, eating them with the mud. Because of eating food mixed with mud, the body becomes weak and sick, eventually leading to death.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.


(一〇八四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城寒林中丘冢間。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「壽命甚促,轉就後世,應勤習善法,修諸梵行。無有生而不死者,而世間人不勤方便專修善法、修賢修義。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇住王舍城寒林中丘冢間,為諸聲聞如是說法:『人命甚促,乃至不修賢修義。』我今當往,為作嬈亂。」

時,魔波旬化作年少,往住佛前,而說偈言:

「常逼迫眾生,  得人間長壽,  迷醉放逸心,  亦不向死處。」

爾時,世尊作是念:「此是惡魔來作惱亂。即說偈言:

「常逼迫眾生,  受生極短壽,  當勤修精進,  猶如救頭然。  勿得須臾懈,  令死魔忽至,  知汝是惡魔,  速於此滅去。」

天魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」慚愧憂戚,即沒不現。

(一〇八五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城寒林中丘冢間。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「一切行無常,一切行不恒、不安,非穌息,變易之法,乃至當止一切有為行,厭離、不樂、解脫

現代漢語譯本 (一〇八四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城寒林中的墳墓之間。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『壽命非常短暫,轉眼就到後世,應當勤奮修習善法,修持清凈的行為。沒有生而不死的人,而世間的人卻不勤奮方便地專修善法、修習賢德和正義。』 當時,魔王波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇住在王舍城寒林中的墳墓之間,為他的聲聞弟子們這樣說法:『人的壽命非常短暫,以至於不修習賢德和正義。』我現在應當前去,擾亂他。』 當時,魔王波旬化作一個年輕人,來到佛陀面前,並說偈語: 『常常逼迫眾生,卻得到人間長壽,迷醉於放逸的心,也不走向死亡之處。』 當時,世尊心想:『這是惡魔來擾亂我。』隨即說偈語: 『常常逼迫眾生,卻承受極短的壽命,應當勤奮修習精進,就像救火一樣緊迫。不要有片刻的懈怠,讓死魔突然降臨,我知道你是惡魔,快點從這裡消失。』 天魔波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思。』感到慚愧憂愁,隨即消失不見。 (一〇八五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城寒林中的墳墓之間。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『一切行為都是無常的,一切行為都是不恒常、不安穩的,不是安息的,是會變化的,乃至應當停止一切有為的行為,厭離、不喜、解脫。』

English version (1084) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the charnel ground among the burial mounds in Rajagriha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'Life is very short, it passes on to the next life, one should diligently practice good deeds, and cultivate pure conduct. There is no one who is born and does not die, yet people in the world do not diligently and expediently focus on practicing good deeds, cultivating virtue and righteousness.' Then, Mara, the Evil One, thought: 'The ascetic Gautama is dwelling in the charnel ground among the burial mounds in Rajagriha, teaching his disciples thus: 'Human life is very short, to the point that one does not cultivate virtue and righteousness.' I should go now and disturb him.' Then, Mara, the Evil One, transformed himself into a young man, went before the Buddha, and spoke these verses: 'Constantly oppressing beings, yet obtaining long life in the human realm, intoxicated by a mind of indulgence, and not heading towards the place of death.' Then, the Blessed One thought: 'This is the Evil One coming to disturb me.' He then spoke these verses: 'Constantly oppressing beings, yet enduring extremely short lives, one should diligently cultivate diligence, like putting out a fire. Do not be negligent for even a moment, lest the death demon suddenly arrives, I know you are the Evil One, quickly vanish from here.' Mara, the Evil One, thought: 'The ascetic Gautama knows my thoughts.' Feeling ashamed and sorrowful, he immediately disappeared. (1085) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the charnel ground among the burial mounds in Rajagriha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'All actions are impermanent, all actions are not constant, not peaceful, not restful, they are subject to change, and one should cease all conditioned actions, be disgusted, displeased, and liberated.'


。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住王舍城寒林中,為諸聲聞說如是法:『一切行無常、不恒,非穌息,變易之法,乃至當止一切有為,厭離、不樂、解脫。』我當往彼,為作嬈亂。」即化作年少,往詣佛所,住于佛前,而說偈言:

「壽命日夜流,  無有窮盡時,  壽命當來去,  猶如車輪轉。」

爾時,世尊作是念:「此是惡魔欲作嬈亂。」即說偈言:

「日夜常遷流,  壽亦隨損減,  人命漸消亡,  猶如小河水。  我知汝惡魔,  便自消滅去。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」慚愧憂戚,即沒不現。

(一〇八六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊夜起經行,至於后夜,洗足入室,斂身正坐,專心繫念。

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇于王舍城迦蘭陀竹園,夜起經行,於後夜時,洗足入室,正身端坐,繫念禪思。我今當往,為作嬈亂。」即化作年少,住于佛前,而說偈言:

「我心於空中,  執長繩罥下,  政欲縛沙門,  不令汝得脫。」

爾時,世尊作是念:「惡魔波旬欲作嬈亂

現代漢語譯本 當時,魔王波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在王舍城的寒林中,為眾聲聞弟子宣說這樣的佛法:『一切行為都是無常的、不恒久的,不是安穩的,是會變化的,最終會停止一切有為法,使人厭惡、不喜、解脫。』我應當去那裡,擾亂他。』於是就化作一個年輕人,來到佛陀面前,站在佛陀面前,說了偈語: 『壽命日夜流逝,沒有窮盡的時候,壽命將來來去去,就像車輪轉動一樣。』 這時,世尊心想:『這是惡魔想要來擾亂我。』就說了偈語: 『日夜不停地遷流,壽命也隨著減少,人的生命漸漸消亡,就像小河裡的水一樣。我知道你是惡魔,你還是自己消失吧。』 當時,魔王波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思了。』感到慚愧憂愁,就消失不見了。 (一〇八六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊在夜晚起身經行,到了後半夜,洗完腳進入房間,收斂身心端正坐著,專心一意地繫念。 當時,魔王波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園,夜晚起身經行,到了後半夜,洗完腳進入房間,端正身體坐著,繫念禪思。我現在應當去,擾亂他。』於是就化作一個年輕人,站在佛陀面前,說了偈語: 『我的心在空中,拿著長繩向下拋,正想要捆綁沙門,不讓你得到解脫。』 這時,世尊心想:『惡魔波旬想要來擾亂我。』

English version At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'Now the Shramana Gautama is dwelling in the cold forest of Rajagriha, teaching such Dharma to the Shravakas: 'All actions are impermanent, not constant, not peaceful, subject to change, and will eventually cease all conditioned phenomena, causing aversion, dislike, and liberation.' I should go there and disturb him.' Then he transformed himself into a young man, went to the Buddha, stood before him, and spoke a verse: 'Life flows day and night, without an end, life comes and goes, like a turning wheel.' At that time, the World Honored One thought: 'This is the evil Mara trying to disturb me.' Then he spoke a verse: 'Day and night constantly flow, life also decreases with it, human life gradually vanishes, like the water in a small river. I know you are the evil Mara, you should disappear yourself.' At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'The Shramana Gautama already knows my thoughts.' Feeling ashamed and sorrowful, he immediately disappeared. (1086) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World Honored One arose at night for walking meditation, and in the latter part of the night, after washing his feet, he entered his room, composed himself, and sat upright, focusing his mind. At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'Now the Shramana Gautama is in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha, arising at night for walking meditation, and in the latter part of the night, after washing his feet, he entered his room, sitting upright, focusing his mind in meditation. I should go now and disturb him.' Then he transformed himself into a young man, stood before the Buddha, and spoke a verse: 'My mind is in the air, holding a long rope and throwing it down, I intend to bind the Shramana, not letting you be liberated.' At that time, the World Honored One thought: 'The evil Mara Papiyas wants to disturb me.'


。」即說偈言:

「我說於世間,  五欲意第六,  于彼永已離,  一切苦已斷。  我已離彼欲,  心意識亦滅,  波旬我知汝,  速於此滅去。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門已知我心。」慚愧憂戚,即沒不現。

(一〇八七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊夜起經行,至后夜時,洗足入室,右脅臥息,繫念明相,正念正智,作起覺想。

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園,乃至作起覺想。我今當往,為作留難。」即化作年少,往住佛前,而說偈言:

「何眠何故眠?  已滅何復眠?  空舍何以眠,  得出復何眠?」

爾時,世尊作是念:「惡魔波旬欲作嬈亂。」即說偈言:

「愛網故染著,  無愛誰持去,  一切有餘盡,  唯佛得安眠,  汝惡魔波旬,  於此何所說。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」慚愧憂戚,即沒不現。

(一〇八八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城耆阇崛山中。

爾時,世尊于夜闇時,天小微雨,電光睒現,出房經行

現代漢語譯本:於是,佛陀說了這樣的偈語: 『我說這世間,五種慾望和第六種意念,對於它們我已永遠遠離,一切痛苦都已斷絕。我已經遠離了那些慾望,心、意識也已滅盡。波旬,我知道你,快從這裡消失吧。』 當時,魔王波旬心想:『這位沙門已經知道我的心思了。』感到慚愧、憂愁,隨即消失不見。

(一〇八七)

我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊在夜晚起身經行,到了後半夜,洗完腳進入房間,右側臥下休息,心中繫念著天亮,保持正念正知,想著醒來。 當時,魔王波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園,乃至想著醒來。我今天應當前去,給他製造障礙。』隨即化作一個年輕人,來到佛陀面前,說了這樣的偈語: 『為何而眠?為何要眠?已經滅盡了為何還要眠?空無一物為何要眠?已經解脫了為何還要眠?』 那時,世尊心想:『這是惡魔波旬想要來擾亂我。』隨即說了這樣的偈語: 『因為愛慾的網而執著,沒有愛慾誰會執著?一切有餘的都已滅盡,只有佛陀才能安眠。你這惡魔波旬,在這裡又能說什麼呢?』 當時,魔王波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思了。』感到慚愧、憂愁,隨即消失不見。

(一〇八八)

我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的耆阇崛山中。 那時,世尊在夜晚黑暗的時候,天空下著小雨,閃電閃爍,走出房間經行。

English version: Then, the Buddha spoke these verses: 'I speak of the world, the five desires and the sixth intention, from which I have forever departed, all suffering has been cut off. I have departed from those desires, and mind and consciousness have also ceased. Mara, I know you, quickly disappear from here.' At that time, Mara the Evil One thought: 'This Shramana knows my mind.' Feeling ashamed and sorrowful, he immediately disappeared.

(1087)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. Then, the World Honored One arose at night for walking meditation. In the latter part of the night, after washing his feet, he entered his room, lay down on his right side to rest, focusing his mind on the coming dawn, with right mindfulness and right knowledge, thinking of awakening. At that time, Mara the Evil One thought: 'Now the Shramana Gautama is staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha, and is even thinking of awakening. I should go there today and create obstacles for him.' He then transformed himself into a young man, went before the Buddha, and spoke these verses: 'Why sleep? Why do you sleep? Having extinguished, why still sleep? In emptiness, why sleep? Having escaped, why still sleep?' Then, the World Honored One thought: 'This is Mara the Evil One trying to disturb me.' He then spoke these verses: 'Because of the net of desire, one is attached. Without desire, who would be attached? All that remains has been exhausted, only the Buddha can sleep peacefully. You, Mara the Evil One, what can you say here?' At that time, Mara the Evil One thought: 'The Shramana Gautama knows my mind.' Feeling ashamed and sorrowful, he immediately disappeared.

(1088)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying on Mount Gijjhakuta in Rajagriha. Then, the World Honored One, in the darkness of night, with a light rain falling and lightning flashing, came out of his room for walking meditation.


時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住王舍城耆阇崛山中,夜闇微雨,電光時現,出房經行。我今當往,為作留難。」執大團石,兩手調弄,到于佛前,碎成微塵。

爾時,世尊作是念:「惡魔波旬欲作嬈亂。」即說偈言:

「若耆阇崛山,  於我前令碎,  于佛等解脫,  不能動一毛。  假令四海內,  一切諸山地,  放逸之親族,  令其碎成塵。  亦不能傾動,  如來一毛髮。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一〇八九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城耆阇崛山中。

爾時,世尊夜起經行,至后夜時,洗足入房,正身端坐,繫念在前。

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住王舍城耆阇崛山中,夜起經行,后夜入房,正身端坐,繫念在前。我今當往,為作留難。」即化作大龍,繞佛身七匝,舉頭臨佛頂上,身如大船,頭如大帆,眼如銅爐,舌如曳電,出息入息若雷雹聲。

爾時,世尊作是念:「惡魔波旬欲作嬈亂。」即說偈言:

「猶如空舍宅,  牟尼心虛寂,  于中而旋轉,  佛身亦如是。  無量兇惡龍,  蚊虻蠅蚤等,  普集食其身,  不能動毛髮

現代漢語譯本:當時,魔王波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在王舍城的耆阇崛山中,夜晚昏暗,下著小雨,電光時而閃現,他走出房間經行。我今天應當前去,給他製造障礙。』於是他拿起一塊巨大的石頭,用雙手拋弄,來到佛陀面前,將石頭擊碎成細微的塵埃。 這時,世尊心想:『惡魔波旬想要擾亂我。』隨即說了偈語:『如果耆阇崛山,在我面前被擊碎,對於像佛陀一樣獲得解脫的人來說,也不能動搖一根毫毛。即使四海之內,一切山地,那些放縱的親族,被擊碎成塵埃,也不能動搖如來的一根毫毛。』 當時,魔王波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思。』內心感到憂愁,隨即消失不見。 (一〇八九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的耆阇崛山中。 當時,世尊夜晚起身經行,到了後半夜,洗完腳進入房間,端正身體坐著,集中意念於前方。 當時,魔王波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在王舍城的耆阇崛山中,夜晚起身經行,後半夜進入房間,端正身體坐著,集中意念於前方。我今天應當前去,給他製造障礙。』隨即化作一條巨大的龍,圍繞佛陀的身體盤旋七圈,抬起頭頂在佛陀的頭頂上方,身體像一艘大船,頭像一面巨大的帆,眼睛像銅爐,舌頭像閃電,呼吸的聲音像雷鳴冰雹。 這時,世尊心想:『惡魔波旬想要擾亂我。』隨即說了偈語:『猶如空曠的房屋,牟尼的心空虛寂靜,在其中旋轉,佛陀的身體也是如此。即使無數兇惡的龍,蚊子、蒼蠅、跳蚤等,都聚集來啃食他的身體,也不能動搖他一根毫毛。』

English version: At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'Now the Shramana Gautama is dwelling on Mount Gridhrakuta in Rajagriha. It is dark at night, with light rain, and flashes of lightning appear from time to time. He has left his room to walk. I should go now and create obstacles for him.' He then picked up a large stone, manipulated it with both hands, and came before the Buddha, smashing the stone into fine dust. At this time, the World Honored One thought: 'Mara Papiyas wants to disturb me.' He then spoke a verse: 'If Mount Gridhrakuta, were to be shattered before me, for those who are liberated like the Buddha, it cannot move a single hair. Even if within the four seas, all the mountains and lands, and the indulgent relatives, were shattered into dust, it cannot move a single hair of the Tathagata.' At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'The Shramana Gautama already knows my thoughts.' Feeling sorrowful within, he immediately disappeared. (1089) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gridhrakuta in Rajagriha. At that time, the World Honored One arose at night to walk, and in the latter part of the night, after washing his feet, he entered his room, sat upright, and focused his mind ahead. At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'Now the Shramana Gautama is dwelling on Mount Gridhrakuta in Rajagriha. He arose at night to walk, and in the latter part of the night, he entered his room, sat upright, and focused his mind ahead. I should go now and create obstacles for him.' He then transformed into a large dragon, coiling around the Buddha's body seven times, raising his head above the Buddha's head, his body like a large ship, his head like a large sail, his eyes like copper furnaces, his tongue like lightning, and his breath like the sound of thunder and hail. At this time, the World Honored One thought: 'Mara Papiyas wants to disturb me.' He then spoke a verse: 'Like an empty house, the Muni's mind is empty and still, revolving within it, the Buddha's body is also like this. Even if countless fierce dragons, mosquitoes, flies, fleas, etc., all gather to eat his body, they cannot move a single hair.'


。  破裂于虛空,  傾覆于大地,  一切眾生類,  悉來作恐怖。  刀矛槍利箭,  悉來害佛身,  如是諸暴害,  不能傷一毛。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一〇九〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城毗婆羅山七葉樹林石室中。

爾時,世尊夜起露地,或坐或經行。至后夜時,洗足入室,安身臥息,右脅著地,足足相累,繫念明相,正念正智,作起覺想。

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇住王舍城毗婆羅山七葉樹林石室中,夜起露地若坐若行,至后夜時,洗足入室而坐,右脅臥息,足足相累,繫念明相,正念正智,作起覺想。我今當往,為作留難。」化作年少,往住佛前,而說偈言:

「為因我故眠,  為是後邊故,  多有錢財寶,  何故守空閑?  獨一無等侶,  而著于睡眠。」

爾時,世尊作是念:「惡魔波旬欲作嬈亂。」即說偈言:

「不因汝故眠,  非為最後邊,  亦無多錢財,  唯集無憂寶。  哀愍世間故,  右脅而臥息,  覺亦不疑惑,  眠亦不恐怖。  若晝若復夜,  無增亦無損,  為哀眾生眠,  故無有損減

現代漢語譯本 『破裂于虛空,傾覆于大地,一切眾生類,都來感到恐怖。刀矛槍利箭,都來傷害佛身,像這樣的各種暴行,都不能傷到一根毫毛。』 當時,魔王波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思了。』內心憂愁,隨即消失不見。 (一〇九〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城毗婆羅山七葉樹林中的石室裡。 當時,世尊夜晚起身在露天,或坐或經行。到了後半夜,洗完腳進入室內,安穩地躺下休息,右側身著地,雙腳交疊,心中想著天亮,保持正念正智,想著起身。 當時,魔王波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇住在王舍城毗婆羅山七葉樹林中的石室裡,夜晚起身在露天或坐或行,到了後半夜,洗完腳進入室內坐下,右側身躺下休息,雙腳交疊,心中想著天亮,保持正念正智,想著起身。我現在應當前去,給他製造障礙。』於是化作少年,來到佛前,並說偈語: 『是因為我才睡覺嗎,還是因為這是最後一次?你有很多錢財寶貝,為什麼守著空閑?獨自一人沒有同伴,卻貪圖睡眠。』 當時,世尊心想:『惡魔波旬想要來擾亂我。』隨即說偈語: 『不是因為你才睡覺,也不是因為這是最後一次,我也沒有很多錢財,只是聚集了無憂的珍寶。爲了憐憫世間,才右側身躺下休息,醒著也不會疑惑,睡著也不會恐懼。無論是白天還是夜晚,都沒有增加也沒有減少,爲了憐憫眾生才睡覺,所以沒有損失減少。』

English version 'Shattered in the void, overturned on the earth, all living beings, all come to feel terror. Swords, spears, guns, sharp arrows, all come to harm the Buddha's body, such various acts of violence, cannot harm a single hair.' At that time, the demon king Mara thought: 'The Shramana Gautama already knows my thoughts.' With inner sorrow, he immediately disappeared. (1090) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the stone chamber in the Seven-Leaf Tree Forest on Mount Vipula in Rajagriha. At that time, the World-Honored One arose at night in the open air, either sitting or walking. When it was late at night, he washed his feet and entered the chamber, lay down to rest peacefully, with his right side on the ground, his feet overlapping, his mind focused on the dawn, with right mindfulness and right wisdom, thinking of rising. At that time, the demon Mara thought: 'The Shramana Gautama is dwelling in the stone chamber in the Seven-Leaf Tree Forest on Mount Vipula in Rajagriha, arising at night in the open air, either sitting or walking, and when it is late at night, he washes his feet and enters the chamber to sit, lying down to rest on his right side, his feet overlapping, his mind focused on the dawn, with right mindfulness and right wisdom, thinking of rising. I should go now and create obstacles for him.' So he transformed into a young man, came before the Buddha, and spoke in verse: 'Is it because of me that you sleep, or is it because this is the last time? You have much wealth and treasure, why do you keep to idleness? Alone without a companion, yet you indulge in sleep.' At that time, the World-Honored One thought: 'The evil demon Mara wants to disturb me.' He then spoke in verse: 'It is not because of you that I sleep, nor is it because this is the last time, I also do not have much wealth, but only gather the treasure of no sorrow. Out of compassion for the world, I lie down to rest on my right side, awake I have no doubt, asleep I have no fear. Whether day or night, there is no increase or decrease, for the sake of compassion for beings I sleep, therefore there is no loss or decrease.'


。  正復以百槍,  貫身常掘動,  猶得安隱眠,  已離內槍故。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一〇九一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城毗婆羅山七葉樹林石室中。

時,有尊者瞿低迦,住王舍城仙人山側黑石室中,獨一思惟,不放逸行,修自饒益,時受意解脫身作證,數數退轉;一、二、三、四、五、六反退,還復得,時受意解脫身作證,尋復退轉。

彼尊者瞿低迦作是念:「我獨一靜處思惟,不放逸行,精勤修習,以自饒益,時受意解脫身作證,而複數數退轉;乃至六反,猶復退轉。我今當以刀自殺,莫令第七退轉。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇住王舍城毗婆羅山側七葉樹林石窟中,有弟子瞿低迦住王舍城仙人山側黑石室中,獨一靜處,專精思惟,得時受意解脫身作證,六反退轉,而復還得。彼作是念:『我已六反退,而復還得,莫令我第七退轉,我寧以刀自殺,莫令第七退轉。』若彼比丘以刀自殺者,莫令自殺,出我境界去,我今當往告彼大師。」

爾時,波旬執琉璃柄琵琶,詣世尊所,鼓弦說偈:

「大智大方便,  自在大神力,  得熾然弟子,  而今欲取死

現代漢語譯本: 『即使被百槍刺穿,身體不斷被攪動, 如果已經脫離了內在的槍,仍然可以安穩入眠。』 當時,魔王波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思了。』內心憂愁,隨即消失不見。

(一〇九一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在王舍城毗婆羅山七葉樹林石室中。

當時,有尊者瞿低迦,住在王舍城仙人山旁的黑石室中,獨自一人思考,不懈怠地修行,修習自我利益,有時證得心解脫,身體也作證,但多次退轉;一、二、三、四、五、六次退轉,又重新獲得,有時證得心解脫,身體也作證,隨即又退轉。

那位尊者瞿低迦心想:『我獨自一人在安靜的地方思考,不懈怠地修行,精勤修習,以求自我利益,有時證得心解脫,身體也作證,卻又多次退轉;甚至六次,仍然退轉。我現在應當用刀自殺,不要讓第七次退轉發生。』

當時,魔王波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇住在王舍城毗婆羅山旁的七葉樹林石窟中,他的弟子瞿低迦住在王舍城仙人山旁的黑石室中,獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心思考,有時證得心解脫,身體也作證,六次退轉,又重新獲得。他心想:「我已經六次退轉,又重新獲得,不要讓我第七次退轉,我寧願用刀自殺,也不要讓第七次退轉發生。」如果那位比丘用刀自殺,不要讓他自殺,離開我的境界,我現在應當去告訴他的大師。』

當時,波旬拿著琉璃柄的琵琶,來到世尊那裡,彈奏琴絃,說了偈語:

『大智大方便,自在的大神力, 得到熾熱的弟子,現在卻要尋死。』

English version: 'Even if pierced by a hundred spears, the body constantly churned, One can still sleep peacefully, if one has escaped the inner spears.' Then, Mara Papiyas thought: 'The Shramana Gautama knows my mind.' With inner sorrow, he immediately disappeared.

(1091)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the stone chamber of the Saptaparna Grove on Mount Vipula in Rajagriha.

At that time, there was the venerable Godhika, dwelling in the Black Stone Chamber on the side of Mount Isigili in Rajagriha, alone in contemplation, practicing diligently, cultivating his own benefit, sometimes attaining the liberation of mind, the body also bearing witness, but repeatedly falling back; one, two, three, four, five, six times falling back, and then regaining it, sometimes attaining the liberation of mind, the body also bearing witness, and then falling back again.

That venerable Godhika thought: 'I am alone in a quiet place contemplating, practicing diligently, cultivating my own benefit, sometimes attaining the liberation of mind, the body also bearing witness, but repeatedly falling back; even six times, I still fall back. Now I should kill myself with a knife, lest a seventh fall back occur.'

At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'The Shramana Gautama is dwelling in the stone cave of the Saptaparna Grove on the side of Mount Vipula in Rajagriha, and his disciple Godhika is dwelling in the Black Stone Chamber on the side of Mount Isigili in Rajagriha, alone in a quiet place, concentrating on contemplation, sometimes attaining the liberation of mind, the body also bearing witness, falling back six times, and then regaining it. He thinks: 「I have fallen back six times, and then regained it, lest I fall back a seventh time, I would rather kill myself with a knife, than let a seventh fall back occur.」 If that bhikkhu kills himself with a knife, lest he kill himself, leave my realm, I should now go and tell his master.'

Then, Papiyas, holding a lute with a crystal handle, went to the World Honored One, strummed the strings, and spoke a verse:

'Great wisdom, great skillful means, great power of freedom, Having obtained a fervent disciple, now he seeks death.'


。  大牟尼當制,  勿令其自殺,  何聞佛世尊,  正法律聲聞。  學其所不得,  而取于命終。」

時,魔說此偈已,世尊說偈答言:

「波旬放逸種,  以自事故來,  堅固具足士,  常住妙禪定。  晝夜勤精進,  不顧于性命,  見三有可畏,  斷除彼愛慾。  已摧伏魔軍,  瞿低般涅槃,  波旬心憂惱,  琵琶落於地。  內懷憂戚已,  即沒而不現。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「汝等當來,共至仙人山側黑石室所,觀瞿低迦比丘以刀自殺。」

爾時,世尊與眾多比丘往至仙人山側黑石室中,見瞿低迦比丘殺身在地,告諸比丘:「汝等見此瞿低迦比丘殺身在地不?」

諸比丘白佛:「唯然,已見,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「汝等見瞿低迦比丘周匝繞身黑闇煙起,充滿四方不?」

比丘白佛:「已見,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「此是惡魔波旬于瞿低迦善男子身側,周匝求其識神,然比丘瞿低迦以不住心,執刀自殺。」

爾時,世尊為瞿低迦比丘受第一記

現代漢語譯本:『大牟尼應當制止他,不要讓他自殺。為何聽說佛世尊,以及正法律的聲聞弟子,會學習他們所不應學習的,而選擇結束生命呢?』 當時,魔說完這偈語后,世尊用偈語回答說:『波旬你這放逸的傢伙,因為你自己的緣故而來。堅固具足的修行人,常常安住於美妙的禪定之中。他們日夜勤奮精進,不顧惜自己的性命,看到三界的可畏之處,斷除了對它們的愛慾。他們已經摧伏了魔軍,瞿低已經般涅槃了。波旬你心懷憂惱,琵琶也掉落在地上。內心充滿憂愁后,就消失不見了。』 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『你們應當一起來到仙人山旁的黑石室,觀看瞿低迦比丘用刀自殺。』 當時,世尊與眾多比丘來到仙人山旁的黑石室中,看見瞿低迦比丘自殺倒在地上,告訴眾比丘:『你們看見這位瞿低迦比丘自殺倒在地上了嗎?』 眾比丘回答佛說:『是的,我們已經看見了,世尊!』 佛告訴比丘們:『你們看見瞿低迦比丘的身體周圍升起黑色的煙霧,充滿四方嗎?』 比丘們回答佛說:『已經看見了,世尊!』 佛告訴比丘們:『這是惡魔波旬在瞿低迦善男子身邊,四處尋找他的識神,然而比丘瞿低迦因為心不住于任何事物,所以執刀自殺了。』 當時,世尊為瞿低迦比丘授了第一記。

English version: 'The Great Sage should restrain him, not let him commit suicide. Why is it heard that the Buddha, the World Honored One, and the disciples who are the hearers of the true Dharma, would learn what they should not learn, and choose to end their lives?' Then, after Mara spoke this verse, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'You, Mara, are a reckless one, coming because of your own affairs. The steadfast and accomplished practitioners always abide in wonderful meditative concentration. They are diligent and strive day and night, not caring for their own lives, seeing the fearfulness of the three realms, and cutting off their desires for them. They have already subdued the armies of Mara, and Godhika has already attained Parinirvana. You, Mara, are filled with sorrow, and your lute has fallen to the ground. After being filled with inner grief, you disappear.' At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'You should come together to the black stone chamber beside the Sage Mountain, and observe the monk Godhika committing suicide with a knife.' At that time, the World Honored One and many monks went to the black stone chamber beside the Sage Mountain, and saw the monk Godhika lying on the ground after committing suicide. He told the monks: 'Do you see this monk Godhika lying on the ground after committing suicide?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'Yes, we have seen it, World Honored One!' The Buddha told the monks: 'Do you see black smoke rising around the body of the monk Godhika, filling all directions?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'We have seen it, World Honored One!' The Buddha told the monks: 'This is the evil Mara, who is searching for the consciousness of the good man Godhika, but the monk Godhika, because his mind did not dwell on anything, committed suicide with a knife.' At that time, the World Honored One gave the first prediction to the monk Godhika.


爾時,波旬而說偈言:

「上下及諸方,  遍求彼識神,  都不見其處,  瞿低何所之?」

爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「如是堅固士,  一切無所求,  拔恩愛根本,  瞿低般涅槃。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一〇九二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住郁鞞羅聚落尼連禪河側,于菩提樹下成佛未久。

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住郁鞞羅聚落尼連禪河側,于菩提樹下成佛未久。我當往彼,為作留難。」即化作年少,往住佛前,而說偈言:

「獨入一空處,  禪思靜思惟,  已舍國財寶,  於此復何求?  若求聚落利,  何不習近人,  既不習近人,  終竟何所得。」

爾時,世尊作是念:「惡魔波旬欲作嬈亂。」即說偈言:

「已得大財利,  志足安寂滅,  摧伏諸魔軍,  不著於色欲。  獨一而禪思,  服食禪妙樂,  是故不與人,  周旋相習近。」

魔復說偈言:

「瞿曇若自知,  安隱涅槃道,  獨善無為樂,  何為強化人。」

佛復說偈答言:

「非魔所制處,  來問度彼岸,  我則以正答,  令彼得涅槃

現代漢語譯本 當時,魔王波旬說了這樣的偈語: 『上下四方,我遍尋他的識神, 都找不到他的軌跡,瞿低到底去了哪裡?』 當時,世尊又說了這樣的偈語: 『像這樣堅定的修行者,一切都無所求, 拔除了恩愛之根,瞿低已經般涅槃了。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

(一〇九二)

我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在郁鞞羅聚落尼連禪河邊,在菩提樹下成佛不久。 當時,魔王波旬這樣想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在郁鞞羅聚落尼連禪河邊,在菩提樹下成佛不久。我應當去那裡,給他製造障礙。』於是就化作一個年輕人,來到佛前,說了這樣的偈語: 『獨自一人來到空寂之處,禪思靜慮, 已經捨棄了國家和財寶,在這裡又有什麼所求呢? 如果追求聚落的利益,為什麼不親近人群呢? 既然不親近人群,最終又能得到什麼呢?』 當時,世尊這樣想:『惡魔波旬想要來擾亂我。』就說了這樣的偈語: 『我已經得到了巨大的利益,心滿意足,安於寂滅, 摧伏了所有的魔軍,不執著于**。 獨自一人禪思,享受禪定的美妙快樂, 所以不與人交往,不與人親近。』 魔王又說了這樣的偈語: 『瞿曇如果自己知道,安穩的涅槃之道, 獨自享受無為的快樂,為什麼還要教化他人呢?』 佛又說了偈語回答說: 『不是被魔所控制的地方,來問我如何度過彼岸, 我就會用正確的道理回答,讓他們得到涅槃。』

English version At that time, Mara Papiyas spoke these verses: 'Upward, downward, and in all directions, I seek everywhere for his consciousness, But I cannot find where it is; where has Godhika gone?' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 'Such a steadfast man, Has no desire for anything, Having uprooted the root of love and affection, Godhika has attained Parinirvana.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(1092)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the village of Uruvela, on the bank of the Nairanjana River, not long after his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'Now the Shramana Gautama is dwelling in the village of Uruvela, on the bank of the Nairanjana River, not long after his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. I should go there and create obstacles for him.' He then transformed himself into a young man and went before the Buddha, speaking these verses: 'Alone in an empty place, Meditating in quiet contemplation, Having abandoned country and treasures, What else do you seek here? If you seek the benefits of a village, Why not associate with people? Since you do not associate with people, What will you ultimately gain?' At that time, the World-Honored One thought: 'The evil Mara Papiyas wants to disturb me.' He then spoke these verses: 'I have already obtained great benefits, My mind is content and at peace in tranquility, Having subdued all the armies of Mara, I am not attached to **. Alone I meditate, Enjoying the wonderful bliss of meditation, Therefore, I do not associate with people, nor do I keep company with them.' Mara then spoke these verses: 'If Gautama knows for himself the peaceful path of Nirvana, And enjoys the bliss of non-action alone, Why then does he teach others?' The Buddha then spoke these verses in reply: 'Not in a place controlled by Mara, You come to ask about crossing to the other shore, I will answer with the correct teaching, So that they may attain Nirvana.'


。  時得不放逸,  不隨魔自在。」

魔復說偈言:

「有石似凝膏,  飛烏欲來食,  竟不得其味,  損觜還歸空。  我今亦如彼,  徒勞歸天宮。」

魔說是已,內懷憂戚,心生變悔,低頭伏地,以指畫地。

魔有三女,一名愛慾,二名愛念,三名愛樂,來至波旬所,而說偈言:

「父今何愁戚,  士夫何足憂,  我以愛慾繩,  縛彼如調象。  牽來至父前,  令隨父自在。」

魔答女言:

「彼已離恩愛,  非欲所能招,  已出於魔境,  是故我憂愁。」

時,魔三女身放光焰,熾如雲中電,來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「我今歸世尊足下,給侍使令。」

爾時,世尊都不顧視。

知如來離諸愛慾,心善解脫。如是第二、第三說。

時,三魔女自相謂言:「士夫有種種隨形愛慾,今當各各變化,作百種童女色、作百種初嫁色、作百種未產色、作百種已產色、作百種中年色、作百種宿年色,作此種種形類,詣沙門瞿曇所,作是言:『今悉歸尊足下,供給使令。』」

作此議已,即作種種變化,如上所說,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我等今日歸尊足下,供給使令

現代漢語譯本 『應當及時不放縱,不被魔所控制。』 魔又說偈語道: 『有石頭像凝固的油脂,飛鳥想來吃它,最終嘗不到味道,啄傷了嘴巴,只好飛回天空。我現在也像那隻鳥一樣,徒勞無功地返回天宮。』 魔說完這些話,內心憂愁悲傷,心生悔恨,低著頭趴在地上,用手指在地上畫著。 魔有三個女兒,一個叫愛慾,一個叫愛念,一個叫愛樂,她們來到波旬那裡,並說偈語道: 『父親為何如此憂愁悲傷,一個修行人有什麼值得憂慮的?我用愛慾的繩索,就能像馴服大象一樣束縛他,把他牽到父親面前,讓他隨父親的意願。』 魔回答女兒們說: 『他已經脫離了恩愛,不是慾望所能引誘的,已經超脫了魔的境界,所以令我憂愁。』 這時,魔的三個女兒身上放出光芒,像雲中的閃電一樣熾熱,她們來到佛陀那裡,叩頭頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立,對佛說:『我們現在歸順世尊,願意在您身邊侍奉使喚。』 這時,世尊看都不看她們一眼。 因為知道如來已經遠離了一切愛慾,內心得到了徹底的解脫。她們第二次、第三次這樣說,佛陀依然如此。 這時,三個魔女互相說道:『修行人有各種各樣的隨形愛慾,我們現在應當各自變化,變成一百種少女的模樣、一百種新娘的模樣、一百種未生育的模樣、一百種已生育的模樣、一百種中年的模樣、一百種老年的模樣,變成各種各樣的形態,去沙門瞿曇那裡,對他說:「我們現在都歸順您,願意在您身邊侍奉使喚。」』 她們商議完畢,就各自變化成各種各樣的形態,像上面所說的那樣,來到世尊那裡,叩頭頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立,對佛說:『世尊!我們今天歸順您,願意在您身邊侍奉使喚。』

English version 'One should be diligent and not lax, not be controlled by Mara.' Mara then spoke a verse: 'There is a stone like solidified grease, a flying bird wants to eat it, but ultimately cannot taste it, hurts its beak, and returns to the sky. I am now like that bird, laboring in vain, returning to the heavenly palace.' Having said this, Mara was filled with sorrow and regret, bowed his head to the ground, and drew on the earth with his finger. Mara had three daughters, named Desire, Affection, and Delight. They came to Mara and spoke in verse: 'Why is father so sorrowful? What is there to worry about a mendicant? With the rope of desire, I can bind him like a tamed elephant, lead him before father, and make him follow father's will.' Mara replied to his daughters: 'He has already abandoned affection, cannot be lured by desire, and has transcended Mara's realm, therefore I am sorrowful.' At that time, the three daughters of Mara emitted flames of light, blazing like lightning in the clouds. They came to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, retreated to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'We now take refuge at the feet of the World Honored One, and are willing to serve and obey your commands.' At that time, the World Honored One did not even look at them. Knowing that the Tathagata had abandoned all desires and his mind was completely liberated. They spoke in this way a second and third time, but the Buddha remained the same. Then, the three daughters of Mara said to each other: 'Mendicants have various forms of desire. We should each transform ourselves, into a hundred forms of young girls, a hundred forms of new brides, a hundred forms of those who have not given birth, a hundred forms of those who have given birth, a hundred forms of middle-aged women, and a hundred forms of old women. Having taken on these various forms, we will go to the ascetic Gautama and say, 「We now all take refuge at your feet, and are willing to serve and obey your commands.」' Having made this decision, they each transformed themselves into various forms, as described above, and came to the World Honored One, bowed at his feet, retreated to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! Today we take refuge at your feet, and are willing to serve and obey your commands.'


。」

爾時,世尊都不顧念。

「如來法離諸愛慾。」如是再三說已。

時,三魔女自相謂言:「若未離欲士夫,見我等種種妙體,心則迷亂,欲氣衝擊,胸臆破裂,熱血熏面。然今沙門瞿曇於我等所都不顧眄,如其如來離欲解脫,得善解脫想。我等今日當復各各說偈而問。」復到佛前,稽首禮足,退住一面。

愛慾天女即說偈言:

「獨一禪寂默,  舍俗錢財寶,  既舍於世利,  今復何所求?  若求聚落利,  何不習近人,  竟不習近人,  終竟何所得?」

佛說偈答言:

「已得大財利,  志足安寂滅,  摧伏諸魔軍,  不著於色欲。  是故不與人,  周旋相習近。」

愛念天女復說偈言:

「多修何妙禪,  而度五欲流?  復以何方便,  度于第六海?  云何修妙禪,  于諸深廣欲,  得度于彼岸,  不為愛所持?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「身得止息樂,  心得善解脫,  無為無所作,  正念不傾動,  了知一切法,  不起諸亂覺,  愛恚睡眠覆,  斯等皆已離。  如是多修習,  得度於五欲,  亦于第六海,  悉得度彼岸

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊完全不理會她們。 『如來的法是遠離一切愛慾的。』這樣說了三次之後。 這時,三個魔女互相說道:『如果是不曾斷絕慾望的男子,見到我們這樣美好的身姿,內心就會迷亂,慾火衝擊,胸膛破裂,熱血涌上臉龐。然而現在沙門瞿曇對我們卻看都不看,看來他確實如他所說,已經斷絕慾望,得到徹底的解脫。我們今天應當各自再說偈語來詢問他。』她們再次來到佛前,頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立。 愛慾天女首先說偈語道: 『獨自一人禪定寂靜,捨棄世俗的錢財珍寶,既然已經捨棄了世間的利益,現在又在追求什麼呢?如果追求村落的利益,為何不接近人群?既然不接近人群,最終又能得到什麼呢?』 佛陀用偈語回答說: 『我已經得到了巨大的財富利益,心滿意足,安於寂滅,摧毀了所有的魔軍,不執著于任何事物。因此我不與人交往,不與人親近。』 愛念天女又說偈語道: 『要修習什麼樣的美妙禪定,才能度過五欲的河流?又用什麼樣的方法,才能度過第六個大海?如何修習美妙的禪定,才能在各種深廣的慾望中,到達彼岸,不被愛慾所束縛呢?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『身體得到止息的快樂,內心得到徹底的解脫,無所作為,無所造作,正念堅定不動搖,明瞭一切法的本質,不起任何混亂的念頭,愛、恨、睡眠的覆蓋,這些都已經遠離。像這樣多多修習,就能度過五欲的河流,也能度過第六個大海,到達彼岸。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One paid no attention to them at all. 'The Tathagata's Dharma is free from all desires.' After saying this three times. Then, the three demonesses said to each other: 'If a man who has not severed his desires were to see our beautiful forms, his heart would be confused, his lust would surge, his chest would burst, and hot blood would rush to his face. But now, the Shramana Gautama does not even look at us. It seems that he has indeed, as he says, severed his desires and attained complete liberation. Today, we should each speak a verse to question him.' They came before the Buddha again, bowed at his feet, and stood aside. The goddess of desire first spoke a verse: 'Alone in meditation and silence, having abandoned worldly wealth and treasures, having already given up worldly gains, what are you seeking now? If you seek the gains of villages, why not approach people? Since you do not approach people, what will you ultimately gain?' The Buddha answered in verse: 'I have already obtained great wealth and benefit, content and at peace in extinction, having destroyed all the armies of Mara, not attached to anything. Therefore, I do not associate with people, nor do I draw near to them.' The goddess of affection then spoke a verse: 'What kind of wonderful meditation must one cultivate to cross the river of the five desires? And by what means can one cross the sixth ocean? How does one cultivate wonderful meditation, so that in the midst of all deep and vast desires, one can reach the other shore and not be bound by love?' At that time, the World Honored One answered in verse: 'The body attains the joy of cessation, the mind attains complete liberation, without action, without creation, with right mindfulness firm and unmoving, understanding the nature of all things, not giving rise to any confused thoughts, the coverings of love, hatred, and sleep, these have all been abandoned. By cultivating in this way, one can cross the river of the five desires, and also cross the sixth ocean, reaching the other shore.'


。  如是修習禪,  于諸深廣欲,  悉得度彼岸,  不為彼所持。」

時,愛樂天女復說偈言:

「已斷除恩愛,  淳厚積集欲,  多生人凈信,  得度于欲流。  開發明智慧,  超逾死魔境。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「大方便廣度,  入如來法律,  斯等皆已度,  慧者復何憂?」

時,三天女志願不滿,還詣其父魔波旬所。

時,魔波旬遙見女來,說偈弄之:

「汝等三女子,  自誇說堪能,  咸放身光焰,  如電雲中流,  至大精進所,  各現其容姿,  反為其所破,  如風飄其綿。  欲以爪破山,  齒嚙破鐵丸,  欲以發藕絲,  旋轉于大山。  和合悉解脫,  而望亂其心,  若能縛風足,  令月空中墮。  以手抒大海,  氣歔動雪山,  和合悉解脫,  亦可令傾動。  于深巨海中,  而求安足地,  如來於一切,  和合悉解脫。  正覺大海中,  求傾動亦然。」

時魔波旬弄三女已,即沒不現。

(一〇九三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住郁鞞羅處尼連禪河側大菩提樹下,初成佛道

現代漢語譯本: '如果這樣修習禪定,就能在各種深廣的慾望中,完全到達彼岸,不被它們所束縛。'

當時,愛樂天女又說偈語:

'已經斷除了恩愛,純粹地積聚了慾望,多生以來人們都對凈信,得以度過慾望的河流。 開發了明智的智慧,超越了死亡的魔境。'

這時,世尊用偈語回答說:

'以大方便廣度眾生,進入如來的教法,這些人全都已經得度,有智慧的人還憂慮什麼呢?'

當時,三位天女心願沒有達成,就回到她們的父親魔波旬那裡。

當時,魔波旬遠遠地看見女兒們回來,就用偈語戲弄她們:

'你們三個女子,自誇說自己有能力,都放出自身的光芒,像閃電在雲中流動, 到大精進者那裡,各自展現自己的容貌,反而被他所擊破,像風吹散棉絮一樣。 想用爪子去破山,用牙齒去咬破鐵丸,想用頭髮絲,去轉動大山。 和合解脫的人,卻希望擾亂他的心,如果能捆住風的腳,讓月亮從空中墜落。 用手去舀大海,用氣去吹動雪山,和合解脫的人,也可以讓他動搖。 在深巨海中,卻尋求安穩的立足之地,如來對於一切,都是和合解脫的。 在正覺的大海中,想讓他動搖也是一樣。'

當時,魔波旬戲弄完三個女兒后,就消失不見了。

(一〇九三)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在郁鞞羅地方尼連禪河邊的大菩提樹下,剛剛成就佛道。 現代漢語譯本: '若能如此修習禪定,便能于諸深廣之慾中,悉皆得度至彼岸,而不為其所束縛。'

當時,愛樂天女又說偈道:

'已斷除恩愛之纏縛,純厚積聚諸善欲,多生以來,人們皆對凈信生起信心,得以度脫慾望之流。 開發明智之慧,超越死亡魔境。'

爾時,世尊以偈答曰:

'以大方便廣度眾生,入如來之法,此等皆已得度,有智慧者復有何憂?'

當時,三位天女志願未滿,遂返回其父魔波旬處。

當時,魔波旬遙見女兒歸來,以偈戲弄之:

'汝等三女子,自誇有能耐,皆放身光,如電光雲中流轉, 至大精進者處,各現其姿容,反為其所破,如風吹散棉絮。 欲以爪破山,以齒嚙破鐵丸,欲以髮絲,旋轉大山。 和合解脫之人,卻欲擾亂其心,若能縛風之足,令月自空中墜落。 以手舀大海,以氣動雪山,和合解脫之人,亦可令其動搖。 于深巨海中,而求安足之地,如來於一切,皆是和合解脫。 于正覺大海中,欲令其動搖亦然。'

當時,魔波旬戲弄三女后,即隱沒不見。

(一〇九三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住于郁鞞羅處尼連禪河側大菩提樹下,初成佛道。

English version: 'If one practices meditation in this way, one will be able to completely cross over to the other shore in all deep and vast desires, and not be bound by them.'

At that time, the heavenly maiden, Love of Joy, spoke another verse:

'Having cut off the bonds of love and affection, purely accumulating desires, for many lives people have had pure faith, and have been able to cross the stream of desire. Having developed bright wisdom, they have transcended the realm of the death demon.'

At this time, the World Honored One replied with a verse:

'With great skillful means, they broadly liberate beings, entering the Dharma of the Tathagata, all these have already been liberated, what do the wise still worry about?'

At that time, the three heavenly maidens, their wishes unfulfilled, returned to their father, Mara Papiyas.

At that time, Mara Papiyas, seeing his daughters returning from afar, mocked them with a verse:

'You three girls, boasting of your abilities, all released the light from your bodies, like lightning flowing in the clouds, Having gone to the place of the greatly diligent one, each displayed your appearances, but were instead defeated by him, like cotton being scattered by the wind. You wanted to break a mountain with your claws, to bite through an iron ball with your teeth, to use a strand of hair to rotate a great mountain. Wanting to disturb the mind of one who is harmoniously liberated, it is like trying to bind the feet of the wind, or make the moon fall from the sky. To scoop up the ocean with your hands, to move a snow mountain with your breath, one who is harmoniously liberated, can also be made to waver. In the deep vast ocean, you seek a place to stand securely, the Tathagata, in all things, is harmoniously liberated. In the ocean of perfect enlightenment, to try to make him waver is the same.'

At that time, Mara Papiyas, having mocked his three daughters, then disappeared.

(1093)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling at Uruvilva, by the side of the Nairanjana River, under the great Bodhi tree, having just attained Buddhahood. English version: 'If one cultivates meditation in this way, one will be able to completely cross over to the other shore in all deep and vast desires, and not be held by them.'

At that time, the heavenly maiden, Love of Joy, spoke another verse:

'Having cut off the bonds of love and affection, purely accumulating good desires, for many lives people have had faith in pure belief, and have been able to cross the stream of desire. Having developed bright wisdom, they have transcended the realm of the death demon.'

At that time, the World Honored One replied with a verse:

'With great skillful means, they broadly liberate beings, entering the Dharma of the Tathagata, all these have already been liberated, what do the wise still worry about?'

At that time, the three heavenly maidens, their wishes unfulfilled, returned to their father, Mara Papiyas.

At that time, Mara Papiyas, seeing his daughters returning from afar, mocked them with a verse:

'You three girls, boasting of your abilities, all released the light from your bodies, like lightning flowing in the clouds, Having gone to the place of the greatly diligent one, each displayed your appearances, but were instead defeated by him, like cotton being scattered by the wind.

In the deep vast ocean, you seek a place to stand securely, the Tathagata, in all things, is harmoniously liberated. In the ocean of perfect enlightenment, to try to make him waver is the same.'

At that time, Mara Papiyas, having mocked his three daughters, then disappeared.

(1093)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling at Uruvilva, by the side of the Nairanjana River, under the great Bodhi tree, having just attained Buddhahood.


天魔波旬作是念:「此沙門瞿曇在郁鞞羅住處尼連禪河側菩提樹下,初成佛道。我今當往,為作留難。」即自變身,作百種凈、不凈色,詣佛所。

佛遙見波旬百種凈、不凈色,作是念:「惡魔波旬作百種凈、不凈色,欲作嬈亂。」即說偈言:

「長夜生死中,  作凈不凈色,  汝何為作此,  不度苦彼岸。  若諸身口意,  不作留難者,  魔所不能教,  不隨魔自在。  如是知惡魔,  於是自滅去。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一〇九四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住郁鞞羅處尼連禪河側菩提樹下,初成正覺。

爾時,世尊獨一靜處,專心禪思,作如是念:「我今解脫苦行。善哉!我今善解脫苦行,先修正愿,今已果得無上菩提。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住郁鞞羅處尼連禪河側菩提樹下,初成正覺。我今當往,為作留難。」即化作年少,住于佛前,而說偈言:

「大修苦行處,  能令得清凈,  而今反棄捨,  於此何所求?  欲於此求凈,  凈亦無由得。」

爾時,世尊作是念:「此魔波旬欲作嬈亂

現代漢語譯本 天魔波旬心想:『這位沙門瞿曇在郁鞞羅的尼連禪河邊菩提樹下,剛剛成就佛道。我現在應該去,給他製造障礙。』於是他自己變幻身形,化作一百種清凈和不清凈的形象,來到佛陀所在之處。 佛陀遠遠地看見波旬化作的百種清凈和不清凈的形象,心想:『惡魔波旬化作百種清凈和不清凈的形象,是想來擾亂我。』於是說了偈語: 『在漫長的生死輪迴中,你化作清凈和不清凈的形象,你為何要這樣做,不能度過痛苦的彼岸?如果身口意都不製造障礙,魔就不能教唆,也不會隨魔自在。像這樣認識了惡魔,他就會自己消失。』 當時,魔波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思了。』內心感到憂愁,立刻消失不見。

(一〇九四)

我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在郁鞞羅的尼連禪河邊菩提樹下,剛剛成就正覺。 當時,世尊獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心禪思,心中這樣想:『我現在已經解脫了苦行。太好了!我現在已經很好地解脫了苦行,先前所發的誓願,現在已經得到了無上的菩提。』 當時,魔波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在郁鞞羅的尼連禪河邊菩提樹下,剛剛成就正覺。我現在應該去,給他製造障礙。』於是他化作一個年輕人,站在佛陀面前,說了偈語: 『在苦修的地方,能夠得到清凈,而你現在卻拋棄了它,在這裡你還能求得什麼呢?想在這裡求得清凈,也是沒有辦法得到的。』 當時,世尊心想:『這個魔波旬是想來擾亂我。』

English version The heavenly demon Pāpīyas thought: 'This Śramaṇa Gautama, at the Bodhi tree by the Nerañjarā River in Uruvilvā, has just attained Buddhahood. I should go now and create obstacles for him.' Immediately, he transformed himself, taking on a hundred forms of pure and impure appearances, and went to where the Buddha was. The Buddha, seeing from afar Pāpīyas's hundred forms of pure and impure appearances, thought: 'The evil demon Pāpīyas is creating a hundred forms of pure and impure appearances, trying to disturb me.' Then he spoke these verses: 'In the long cycle of birth and death, you create pure and impure forms. Why do you do this, unable to cross to the other shore of suffering? If one's body, speech, and mind do not create obstacles, then the demon cannot instruct, nor can one be controlled by the demon. Knowing the evil demon in this way, he will vanish by himself.' At that time, the demon Pāpīyas thought: 'The Śramaṇa Gautama already knows my thoughts.' Feeling sorrowful within, he immediately disappeared.

(1094)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling at the Bodhi tree by the Nerañjarā River in Uruvilvā, having just attained perfect enlightenment. At that time, the World-Honored One was alone in a quiet place, focused in meditation, thinking thus: 'I have now been liberated from ascetic practices. Excellent! I have now been well liberated from ascetic practices. The vows I made before, I have now attained the unsurpassed Bodhi.' At that time, the demon Pāpīyas thought: 'Now the Śramaṇa Gautama is dwelling at the Bodhi tree by the Nerañjarā River in Uruvilvā, having just attained perfect enlightenment. I should go now and create obstacles for him.' Immediately, he transformed himself into a young man, stood before the Buddha, and spoke these verses: 'In the place of great ascetic practice, one can attain purity. But now you have abandoned it. What can you seek here? If you wish to seek purity here, there is no way to attain it.' At that time, the World-Honored One thought: 'This demon Pāpīyas is trying to disturb me.'


。」即說偈言:

「知諸修苦行,  皆與無義俱,  終不獲其利,  如弓彈有聲。  戒定聞慧道,  我已悉修習,  得第一清凈,  其凈無有上。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一〇九五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住娑羅婆羅門聚落。

爾時,世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入婆羅聚落乞食。時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇晨朝著衣持缽,入婆羅聚落乞食,我今當往,先入其舍,語諸信心婆羅門長者,令沙門瞿曇空缽而出。」

時,魔波旬隨逐佛后,作是唱言:「沙門!沙門!都不得食耶?」

爾時,世尊作是念:「惡魔波旬欲作嬈亂。」即說偈言:

「汝新于如來,  獲得無量罪,  汝謂呼如來,  受諸苦惱耶?」

時,魔波旬作是言:「瞿曇!更入聚落,當令得食。」

爾時,世尊而說偈言:

「正使無所有,  安樂而自活,  如彼光音天,  常以欣悅食。  正使無所有,  安樂而自活,  常以欣悅食,  不依于有身。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現

現代漢語譯本 於是,佛陀說了這樣的偈語: 『那些修習苦行的人,所做的一切都沒有意義, 最終不會獲得任何好處,就像弓箭發出聲音一樣毫無用處。 戒律、禪定、聞法和智慧之道,我都已經全部修習過了, 獲得了最清凈的境界,這種清凈是無與倫比的。』 當時,魔王波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思了。』內心感到憂愁,隨即消失不見。

(一〇九五)

我是這樣聽說的:

有一次,佛陀住在娑羅婆羅門聚落。

那時,世尊早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入婆羅聚落乞食。當時,魔王波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入婆羅聚落乞食,我應該先到他要去的住戶,告訴那些有信心的婆羅門長者,讓他們讓沙門瞿曇空缽而回。』

當時,魔王波旬跟在佛陀身後,這樣喊道:『沙門!沙門!你什麼都吃不到嗎?』

那時,世尊心想:『惡魔波旬想要來擾亂我。』於是說了這樣的偈語: 『你這樣對待如來,會獲得無量的罪過, 你以為這樣呼喊如來,就能讓如來遭受痛苦嗎?』

當時,魔王波旬這樣說:『瞿曇!你再進入聚落,我讓你能得到食物。』

那時,世尊說了這樣的偈語: 『即使一無所有,也能安樂地生活, 就像光音天的天人一樣,常常以喜悅為食。 即使一無所有,也能安樂地生活, 常常以喜悅為食,不依賴於有形的身體。』

當時,魔王波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思了。』內心感到憂愁,隨即消失不見。

English version Then, the Buddha spoke these verses: 'All those who practice asceticism, Their actions are all meaningless, Ultimately, they will gain no benefit, Like the sound of a bow being drawn, it is useless. The path of precepts, meditation, learning, and wisdom, I have already practiced them all, Attained the first purity, This purity is unsurpassed.' At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'The Shramana Gautama already knows my thoughts.' Feeling sorrowful, he immediately disappeared.

(1095)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Salar Brahmin village.

Then, the World Honored One, in the morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered the Brahmin village to beg for food. At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'Now the Shramana Gautama, in the morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, is entering the Brahmin village to beg for food. I should go ahead of him to the houses and tell those faithful Brahmin elders to make the Shramana Gautama return with an empty bowl.'

Then, Mara Papiyas followed behind the Buddha, shouting: 'Shramana! Shramana! Will you not get any food?'

Then, the World Honored One thought: 'The evil Mara Papiyas wants to disturb me.' And spoke these verses: 'You, by treating the Tathagata this way, will gain immeasurable demerit, Do you think that by calling out to the Tathagata, you can make the Tathagata suffer?'

Then, Mara Papiyas said: 'Gautama! Enter the village again, and I will make sure you get food.'

Then, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 'Even if one has nothing, one can live happily, Like the gods of the Abhasvara heaven, who always eat with joy. Even if one has nothing, one can live happily, Always eating with joy, not relying on a physical body.'

At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'The Shramana Gautama already knows my thoughts.' Feeling sorrowful, he immediately disappeared.


(一〇九六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我已解脫人天繩索,汝等亦復解脫人天繩索。汝等當行人間,多所過度,多所饒益,安樂人天,不須伴行,一一而去。我今亦往郁鞞羅住處人間遊行。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇住波羅㮈仙人住處鹿野苑中,為諸聲聞如是說法:『我已解脫人天繩索,汝等亦能。汝等各別人間教化,乃至我亦當至郁鞞羅住處人間遊行。』我今當往,為作留難。」即化作年少,住于佛前,而說偈言:

「不脫作脫想,  謂呼已解脫,  為大縛所縛,  我今終不放。」

爾時,世尊作是念:「惡魔波旬欲作嬈亂。」即說偈言:

「我已脫一切,  人天諸繩索,  已知汝波旬,  即自消滅去。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一〇九七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住釋氏石主釋氏聚落。

時,石主釋氏聚落多人疫死。處處人民,若男若女,從四方來受持三歸,其諸病人,若男若女,若大若小,皆因來者自稱名字:「我某甲等,歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧。」舉村舉邑,皆悉如是

現代漢語譯本 (一〇九六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國的仙人居住地鹿野苑中。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我已經解脫了人天束縛,你們也同樣解脫了人天束縛。你們應當行走人間,多多度化眾生,多多饒益眾生,使人天安樂,不必結伴而行,各自前往。我現在也要前往郁鞞羅的住處人間。』 當時,魔王波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇住在波羅奈仙人居住地鹿野苑中,為眾聲聞這樣說法:『我已經解脫了人天束縛,你們也能夠解脫。你們各自前往人間教化,甚至我也將前往郁鞞羅的住處人間。』我現在應當前去,為他製造障礙。』隨即化作少年,站在佛陀面前,並說偈語: 『沒有解脫卻自以為解脫,聲稱已經解脫,實際上被更大的束縛所束縛,我今天絕不放過你。』 那時,世尊心想:『惡魔波旬想要來擾亂我。』隨即說偈語: 『我已經解脫了一切,人天所有的束縛,我已經知道你是波旬,你應當自行消滅離去。』 當時,魔王波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思。』內心憂愁,隨即消失不見。 (一〇九七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在釋迦族的石主釋迦族聚落。 當時,石主釋迦族聚落很多人因瘟疫而死。各處的人民,不論男女,從四面八方前來受持三皈依,那些病人,不論男女,不論老少,都因為前來的人自稱名字:『我某某等,皈依佛、皈依法、皈依比丘僧。』整個村莊整個城鎮,都像這樣。

English version (1096) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at the hermitage of the ascetics in the country of Varanasi. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'I have already been liberated from the bonds of humans and gods, and you too have been liberated from the bonds of humans and gods. You should go forth into the human world, to greatly cross over, to greatly benefit, to bring peace to humans and gods, not needing to travel together, but each going separately. I too will now go to the human world at the dwelling place of Uruvilva.' At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'The Shramana Gautama is dwelling in the Deer Park at the hermitage of the ascetics in Varanasi, and is teaching the disciples thus: 'I have already been liberated from the bonds of humans and gods, and you too are able to be liberated. You should each go to the human world to teach, and even I will go to the human world at the dwelling place of Uruvilva.' I should now go and create obstacles for him.' He then transformed himself into a youth, stood before the Buddha, and spoke this verse: 'Not liberated, yet thinking you are liberated, claiming to be liberated, you are actually bound by a greater bond, I will never let you go today.' Then, the World-Honored One thought: 'The evil Mara Papiyas wants to disturb me.' He then spoke this verse: 'I have already been liberated from all, the bonds of humans and gods, I already know you are Papiyas, you should vanish and depart by yourself.' At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'The Shramana Gautama already knows my thoughts.' He was filled with sorrow and immediately disappeared. (1097) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Shakya village of the Stone Lord Shakya. At that time, many people in the Shakya village of the Stone Lord Shakya died from an epidemic. People from all places, both men and women, came from all directions to receive the Three Refuges. Those who were sick, both men and women, both old and young, all because of those who came, proclaimed their names: 'I, so-and-so, take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, take refuge in the Sangha of monks.' The entire village and the entire town were all like this.


爾時,世尊勤為聲聞說法。

時,諸信心歸三寶者,斯則皆生人、天道中。

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住于釋氏石主釋氏聚落,勤為四眾說法。我今當往,為作留難。」化作年少,往住佛前,而說偈言:

「何為勤說法,  教化諸人民,  相違不相違,  不免於驅馳,  以有繫縛故,  而為彼說法?」

爾時,世尊作是念:「惡魔波旬欲作嬈亂。」即說偈言:

「汝夜叉當知,  眾生群集生,  諸有智慧者,  孰能不哀愍?  以有哀愍故,  不能不教化,  哀愍諸眾生,  法自應如是。」

惡魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一〇九八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住釋氏石主釋氏聚落。

爾時,世尊獨一靜處,禪思思惟,作是念:「頗有作王,能得不殺,不教人殺,一向行法,不行非法耶?」

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住石主釋氏聚落,獨一禪思,作是念:『頗有作王,不殺生,不教人殺,一向行法,不行非法耶?』我今當往,為其說法。」化作年少,往住佛前,作是言:「如是,世尊!如是,善逝!可得作王,不殺生,不教人殺,一向行法,不行非法

現代漢語譯本:

當時,世尊勤奮地為聲聞弟子說法。 當時,那些對三寶有信心的人,都投生到人道或天道中。 當時,魔王波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在釋迦族的石主釋迦聚落,勤奮地為四眾弟子說法。我今天應當去,給他製造障礙。』於是他化作一個年輕人,來到佛陀面前,說了偈語: 『為何勤奮說法,教化眾人?相違或不相違,都免不了奔波勞碌。因為有束縛的緣故,才為他們說法嗎?』 當時,世尊心想:『惡魔波旬想要來擾亂我。』於是說了偈語: 『你夜叉應當知道,眾生聚集而生,凡是有智慧的人,誰能不憐憫他們呢?因為有憐憫的緣故,不能不教化他們。憐憫眾生,法本來就應當如此。』 惡魔波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思了。』內心憂愁,立刻消失不見。 (一〇九八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在釋迦族的石主釋迦聚落。 當時,世尊獨自一人在安靜的地方,禪定思惟,心想:『有沒有做國王的,能夠不殺生,不教人殺生,一向奉行正法,不奉行非法呢?』 當時,魔王波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在石主釋迦聚落,獨自禪定思惟,心想:『有沒有做國王的,不殺生,不教人殺生,一向奉行正法,不奉行非法呢?』我今天應當去,為他說法。』於是他化作一個年輕人,來到佛陀面前,說道:『是的,世尊!是的,善逝!可以有做國王的,不殺生,不教人殺生,一向奉行正法,不奉行非法。』

English version:

At that time, the World Honored One diligently preached the Dharma to the Shravakas. At that time, those who had faith in the Three Jewels were all reborn in the realms of humans or gods. At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'Now the Shramana Gautama is dwelling in the Shakya's Stone Chief Shakya settlement, diligently preaching the Dharma to the four assemblies. I should go there today and create obstacles for him.' So he transformed himself into a young man, went before the Buddha, and spoke a verse: 'Why diligently preach the Dharma, teaching the people? Whether in agreement or disagreement, one cannot avoid running around. Is it because of being bound that you preach the Dharma to them?' At that time, the World Honored One thought: 'The evil Mara Papiyas wants to disturb me.' So he spoke a verse: 'You Yaksha should know, beings gather and are born. Among those who have wisdom, who can not have compassion? Because of having compassion, one cannot but teach them. Having compassion for all beings, the Dharma should naturally be like this.' The evil Mara Papiyas thought: 'The Shramana Gautama already knows my mind.' Feeling sorrowful within, he immediately disappeared. (1098) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Shakya's Stone Chief Shakya settlement. At that time, the World Honored One was alone in a quiet place, meditating and contemplating, thinking: 'Is there a king who can refrain from killing, not instruct others to kill, always practice the Dharma, and not practice what is not the Dharma?' At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'Now the Shramana Gautama is dwelling in the Stone Chief Shakya settlement, alone in meditation, thinking: 'Is there a king who does not kill, does not instruct others to kill, always practices the Dharma, and does not practice what is not the Dharma?' I should go there today and preach the Dharma to him.' So he transformed himself into a young man, went before the Buddha, and said: 'Yes, World Honored One! Yes, Sugata! It is possible to have a king who does not kill, does not instruct others to kill, always practices the Dharma, and does not practice what is not the Dharma.'


。世尊!今可作王,善逝!今可作王,必得如意。」

爾時,世尊作是念:「惡魔波旬欲作嬈亂。」而告魔言:「汝魔波旬!何故作是言:『作王!世尊!作王!善逝!可得如意。』?」

魔白佛言:「我面從佛聞作是說:『若四如意足修習多修習已,欲令雪山王變為真金,即作不異。』世尊今有四如意足,修習多修習,令雪山王變為真金,如意不異。是故,我白世尊:『作王!世尊!作王!善逝!可得如意。』」

佛告波旬:「我都無心欲作國王,云何當作?我亦無心欲令雪山王變為真金,何由而變?」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「正使有真金,  如雪山王者,  一人得此金,  亦復不知足。  是故智慧者,  金石同一觀。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一〇九九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住釋氏石主釋氏聚落。時,有眾多比丘集供養堂,為作衣事。

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住于釋氏石主釋氏聚落,眾多比丘集供養堂,為作衣故,我今當往,為作留難。」化作少壯婆羅門像,作大縈發,著獸皮衣,手執曲杖,詣供養堂,于眾多比丘前默然而住

『世尊!現在可以做國王,善逝!現在可以做國王,必定能如意。』 當時,世尊心想:『惡魔波旬想要擾亂我。』於是告訴魔說:『你這魔波旬!為什麼說:『做國王!世尊!做國王!善逝!可以如意。』?』 魔對佛說:『我曾聽佛說過:『如果修習並多次修習四如意足,想要讓雪山王變成真金,就能如願以償。』世尊現在有四如意足,修習並多次修習,讓雪山王變成真金,如意不異。因此,我才對世尊說:『做國王!世尊!做國王!善逝!可以如意。』 佛告訴波旬:『我根本沒有想做國王的心,怎麼會去做?我也沒有想讓雪山王變成真金的心,又怎麼會變?』 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『即使有真金,像雪山王那樣多,一個人得到這些金子,也還是不知足。 所以有智慧的人,看待金子和石頭是一樣的。』 當時,魔波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思了。』內心憂愁,就消失不見了。 (一〇九九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在釋迦族的石主釋迦族聚落。當時,有很多比丘聚集在供養堂,爲了製作衣服。 當時,魔波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在釋迦族的石主釋迦族聚落,很多比丘聚集在供養堂,爲了製作衣服,我現在應該去,給他們製造障礙。』於是化作一個年輕的婆羅門的樣子,梳著高高的髮髻,穿著獸皮衣服,手裡拿著彎曲的杖,來到供養堂,在眾多比丘面前默默地站著。

'Venerable One! Now you can become a king, Well-gone One! Now you can become a king, and you will surely get what you wish for.' At that time, the World-Honored One thought: 'The evil Mara Papiyan wants to disturb me.' So he said to Mara: 'You Mara Papiyan! Why do you say: 'Become a king! Venerable One! Become a king! Well-gone One! You can get what you wish for?' Mara said to the Buddha: 'I have heard from the Buddha that: 'If one cultivates and repeatedly cultivates the four bases of spiritual power, and wishes to turn the Snow Mountain King into pure gold, it will be done without fail.' The Venerable One now has the four bases of spiritual power, cultivated and repeatedly cultivated, to turn the Snow Mountain King into pure gold, and it will be done without fail. Therefore, I say to the Venerable One: 'Become a king! Venerable One! Become a king! Well-gone One! You can get what you wish for.' The Buddha said to Papiyan: 'I have no intention of becoming a king, how could I do that? I also have no intention of turning the Snow Mountain King into pure gold, how could it be transformed?' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke this verse: 'Even if there were pure gold, as much as the Snow Mountain King, if one person obtained this gold, they would still not be satisfied. Therefore, the wise see gold and stones as the same.' At that time, Mara Papiyan thought: 'The Shramana Gautama already knows my thoughts.' Feeling worried, he immediately disappeared. (1099) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Shakyan village of Stone Lord Shakya. At that time, many monks gathered in the offering hall to make robes. At that time, Mara Papiyan thought: 'Now the Shramana Gautama is staying in the Shakyan village of Stone Lord Shakya, and many monks are gathered in the offering hall to make robes. I should go now and create obstacles for them.' So he transformed himself into a young Brahmin, with a high topknot, wearing animal skin clothes, holding a curved staff in his hand, and went to the offering hall, standing silently in front of the many monks.


。須臾,語諸比丘言:「汝等年少出家,膚白髮黑,年在盛時,應受五欲莊嚴自娛,如何違親背族,悲泣別離,信于非家,出家學道?何為舍現世樂,而求他世非時之樂?」

諸比丘語婆羅門:「我不捨現世樂求他世非時之樂,乃是舍非時樂就現世樂。」

波旬復問:「云何舍非時樂就現世樂?」

比丘答言:「如世尊說,他世樂少味多苦,少利多患;世尊說現世樂者,離諸熾然,不待時節,能自通達,於此觀察,緣自覺知。婆羅門!是名現世樂。」

時,婆羅門三反掉頭瘖啞,以杖筑地,即沒不現。

時,諸比丘即生恐怖,身毛皆豎,此是何等婆羅門像,來此作變?即詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我等眾多比丘集供養堂,為作衣故。有一盛壯婆羅門,縈發大髻,來詣我所,作是言:『汝等年少出家……』」如上廣說,乃至三反掉頭瘖啞,以杖筑地,即沒不現。「我等即生恐怖,身毛皆豎,是何婆羅門像,來作此變?」

佛告諸比丘:「此非婆羅門,是魔波旬來至汝所,欲作嬈亂。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「凡生諸苦惱,  皆由於愛慾,  知世皆劍刺,  何人樂於欲?  覺世間有餘,  皆悉為劍刺,  是故黠慧者,  當勤自調伏

現代漢語譯本:一會兒,他對眾比丘說:『你們年紀輕輕就出家,面板白皙,頭髮烏黑,正值壯年,應該享受五欲的快樂來娛樂自己,為何要違背父母親人,背離家族,悲傷哭泣地分別,相信非家,出家學道?為何要捨棄現世的快樂,而去追求來世不合時宜的快樂?』 眾比丘對婆羅門說:『我們不是捨棄現世的快樂去追求來世不合時宜的快樂,而是捨棄不合時宜的快樂去追求現世的快樂。』 波旬又問:『如何捨棄不合時宜的快樂去追求現世的快樂?』 比丘回答說:『正如世尊所說,來世的快樂少有滋味而多有痛苦,少有利益而多有禍患;世尊所說的現世快樂,是遠離各種煩惱熾熱,不等待時節,能夠自己通達,通過觀察,憑藉自己的覺知。婆羅門!這就是所謂的現世快樂。』 當時,婆羅門三次搖頭,啞口無言,用手杖敲擊地面,隨即消失不見。 當時,眾比丘立刻感到恐懼,汗毛都豎了起來,心想這是什麼婆羅門的樣子,來這裡作怪?於是他們來到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我們眾多比丘聚集在供養堂,爲了製作衣服。有一個身強力壯的婆羅門,挽著高高的髮髻,來到我們這裡,說了這樣的話:『你們年紀輕輕就出家……』就像上面所說的那樣,直到三次搖頭,啞口無言,用手杖敲擊地面,隨即消失不見。』我們立刻感到恐懼,汗毛都豎了起來,這是什麼婆羅門的樣子,來這裡作怪?』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『這不是婆羅門,是魔王波旬來到你們這裡,想要擾亂你們。』當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『凡是產生的各種苦惱,都是由於愛慾;知道世間到處都是劍刺,誰還會貪戀慾望呢?覺悟到世間還有剩餘的,都是劍刺;所以聰明有智慧的人,應當努力自我調伏。』

English version: After a while, he said to the monks, 'You are young when you left home, with fair skin and black hair, in the prime of your life. You should enjoy the pleasures of the five desires to entertain yourselves. Why do you go against your parents and relatives, leave your family, weep with sorrow, believe in non-home, and leave home to learn the Way? Why abandon the pleasures of this life to seek the untimely pleasures of the next life?' The monks said to the Brahmin, 'We are not abandoning the pleasures of this life to seek the untimely pleasures of the next life, but rather abandoning untimely pleasures to seek the pleasures of this life.' Mara then asked, 'How do you abandon untimely pleasures to seek the pleasures of this life?' The monks replied, 'As the World Honored One has said, the pleasures of the next life have little taste and much suffering, little benefit and much trouble; the World Honored One said that the pleasures of this life are free from all burning passions, do not wait for a season, and can be understood by oneself, through observation, and through one's own awareness. Brahmin! This is what is called the pleasure of this life.' At that time, the Brahmin shook his head three times, became speechless, struck the ground with his staff, and then disappeared. At that time, the monks immediately felt fear, and their hair stood on end. They thought, 'What kind of Brahmin is this, coming here to make trouble?' So they went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side. They said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! We, many monks, gathered in the offering hall to make clothes. A strong and robust Brahmin, with his hair tied in a high knot, came to us and said, 'You are young when you left home...' as described above, until he shook his head three times, became speechless, struck the ground with his staff, and then disappeared. We immediately felt fear, and our hair stood on end. What kind of Brahmin is this, coming here to make trouble?' The Buddha told the monks, 'This is not a Brahmin, it is Mara, the demon, who came to you, wanting to disturb you.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse: 'All the sufferings that arise are due to desire; knowing that the world is full of sword pricks, who would still be attached to desire? Realizing that there is still something left in the world, it is all sword pricks; therefore, the wise should strive to subdue themselves.'


。  巨積真金聚,  猶如雪山王,  一人受用者,  意猶不知足。  是故黠慧者,  當修平等觀。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一〇〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住釋氏石主釋氏聚落。

時,有尊者善覺,晨朝著衣持缽,入石主釋氏聚落乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,持尼師壇,置右肩上,入林中,坐一樹下,修晝正受,作是念:「我得善利!于正法、律出家學道;我得善利!遭遇大師如來、等正覺;我得善利!得在梵行、持戒、備德、賢善真實眾中。我今當得賢善命終,于當來世亦當賢善。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇往石主釋氏聚落,有聲聞弟子名曰善覺,著衣持缽……」如上廣說,乃至「賢善命終,後世亦賢。我今當往,為作留難。」化作大身,盛壯多力,見者怖畏,謂其力能翻發動大地,至善覺比丘所。

善覺比丘遙見大身勇盛壯士,即生恐怖。從坐起,詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我今晨朝著衣持缽……」廣說如上,乃至「賢善命終,後世亦賢。見有大身士夫,勇壯熾盛,力能動地,見生恐怖,心驚毛豎。」

佛告善覺:「此非大身士夫,是魔波旬欲作嬈亂

現代漢語譯本: 『大量的真金聚集在一起,就像雪山之王一樣巍峨,即使一個人獨享,他的慾望仍然不會滿足。所以,有智慧的人,應當修習平等觀。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。

(一一〇〇)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在釋迦族的石主釋迦聚落。

當時,有位尊者名叫善覺,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入石主釋迦聚落乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著尼師壇,放在右肩上,進入樹林中,坐在一棵樹下,修習午間禪定,心中想著:『我真是得到了很大的利益!能在正法和戒律中出家學道;我真是得到了很大的利益!能遇到像如來、等正覺這樣的大師;我真是得到了很大的利益!能身處在清凈修行、持戒、具備德行、賢善真實的僧團中。我今生將能賢善地死去,來世也將是賢善的。』

當時,魔王波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇去了石主釋迦聚落,他的聲聞弟子名叫善覺,穿著衣服拿著缽……』(如上廣說),乃至『賢善地死去,後世也是賢善的。我今天應當去,給他製造障礙。』於是,魔王化作一個巨大的身軀,強壯有力,看到的人都感到害怕,認為他有能力翻動大地,來到善覺比丘所在的地方。

善覺比丘遠遠地看到這個身軀巨大、勇猛強壯的人,立刻感到恐懼。他從座位上站起來,走到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我今天早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽……』(如上廣說),乃至『賢善地死去,後世也是賢善的。我看到一個身軀巨大的人,勇猛強壯,力量大到能震動大地,我感到非常恐懼,心驚膽戰。』

佛陀告訴善覺:『這不是什麼身軀巨大的人,是魔王波旬想要來擾亂你。』

English version: 'A vast accumulation of true gold, like the king of snow mountains, even if possessed by one person, their desires would still not be satisfied. Therefore, the wise should cultivate the view of equality.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(1100)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Shakyan village of Stone Master Shakya.

At that time, there was a venerable monk named Good Awakening, who, in the morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered the village of Stone Master Shakya to beg for alms. Having eaten, he returned to the monastery, put away his robes and bowl, washed his feet, took his sitting cloth, placed it on his right shoulder, entered the forest, sat under a tree, and practiced the midday meditation, thinking: 'I have truly gained great benefit! To have left home and studied the Way in the Right Dharma and Discipline; I have truly gained great benefit! To have encountered a master like the Tathagata, the Perfectly Enlightened One; I have truly gained great benefit! To be among the community of pure practice, upholding precepts, possessing virtue, and being virtuous and true. I will now die a virtuous death, and in the future, I will also be virtuous.'

At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'Now the Shramana Gautama has gone to the village of Stone Master Shakya, and his disciple named Good Awakening, having put on his robes and taken his bowl...' (as described above), even to 'die a virtuous death, and in the future, also be virtuous. I should go today and create obstacles for him.' Then, Mara transformed into a huge body, strong and powerful, causing fear in those who saw him, believing he had the power to overturn the earth, and came to where the monk Good Awakening was.

The monk Good Awakening, seeing from afar this huge, brave, and strong man, immediately felt fear. He rose from his seat, went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, retreated to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Venerable One! This morning, I put on my robes and took my bowl...' (as described above), even to 'die a virtuous death, and in the future, also be virtuous. I saw a huge man, brave and strong, with the power to shake the earth, and I felt great fear, my heart trembling.'

The Buddha told Good Awakening: 'This is not a huge man, it is Mara Papiyas who wants to disturb you.'


。汝且還去,依彼樹下,修前三昧,動作彼魔,因斯脫苦。」

時,尊者善覺即還本處,至於晨朝,著衣持缽,入石主釋氏聚落乞食。食已,還精舍……如上廣說,乃至「賢善命終,後世亦賢。」

時,魔波旬復作是念:「此沙門瞿曇住于釋氏,有弟子名曰善覺……」如上廣說,乃至「賢善命終,後世亦賢。我今當往,為作留難。」復化作大身,勇壯熾盛,力能發地,往住其前。

善覺比丘復遙見之。即說偈言:

「我正信非家,  而出家學道,  于佛無價寶,  正念繫心住。  隨汝變形色,  我心不傾動,  覺汝為幻化,  便可從此滅。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「是沙門已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一一〇一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「如來聲聞作師子吼,說言:『已知!已知!』不知如來聲聞於何等法已知、已知故作師子吼?謂苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。」

時,天魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中,為諸聲聞說法,乃至已知四聖諦。我今當往,為作留難

『你回去吧,到那棵樹下,繼續修習之前的禪定,以此來調伏那個魔,從而脫離痛苦。』 當時,尊者善覺就回到原來的地方,到了早晨,穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入石主釋氏的村落乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍……如上面詳細所說,乃至『賢善的人命終,後世也會賢善。』 當時,魔波旬又這樣想:『這個沙門瞿曇住在釋氏,有個弟子名叫善覺……』如上面詳細所說,乃至『賢善的人命終,後世也會賢善。我現在應當去,給他製造障礙。』於是變化成巨大的身軀,勇猛強壯,氣勢旺盛,力量足以震動大地,來到善覺面前。 善覺比丘又遠遠地看見了他。就說了偈語: 『我因正信而出家,學習佛道,對於佛陀無價的珍寶,正念繫心而住。 隨你變化各種形色,我的心也不會動搖,覺悟到你只是幻化,你就可以從此消失。』 當時,魔波旬這樣想:『這個沙門已經知道我的心思了。』內心憂愁悲傷,就消失不見了。 (一一〇一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如來的聲聞弟子作獅子吼,說:『已知!已知!』如來的聲聞弟子是知道什麼法,才作獅子吼呢?是知道苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。』 當時,天魔波旬這樣想:『沙門瞿曇住在波羅奈國仙人居住的鹿野苑中,為眾聲聞說法,乃至已經知道四聖諦。我現在應當去,給他製造障礙。』

'You should go back, go under that tree, continue to practice the previous samadhi, and by this subdue that demon, thus escaping suffering.' At that time, the Venerable Suddhi returned to his original place. In the morning, he put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered the village of the Sakyas of Stone Lord to beg for food. After eating, he returned to the monastery... as described in detail above, even to 'a virtuous person dies, and will be virtuous in the next life.' At that time, Mara Papiyas thought again: 'This Shramana Gautama is staying among the Sakyas, and has a disciple named Suddhi...' as described in detail above, even to 'a virtuous person dies, and will be virtuous in the next life. I should go now and create obstacles for him.' Then he transformed into a huge body, brave and vigorous, with power to shake the earth, and went to stand before Suddhi. The Bhikkhu Suddhi saw him again from afar. He then spoke a verse: 'I left home because of true faith, to study the Buddha's path, with right mindfulness dwelling on the Buddha's priceless treasure. No matter how you change your form and appearance, my mind will not be moved. Realizing that you are just an illusion, you can then disappear from here.' At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'This Shramana already knows my thoughts.' Feeling worried and distressed, he immediately disappeared. (1101) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Deer Park at the Isipatana hermitage in the country of Varanasi. At that time, the World Honored One told the Bhikkhus: 'The disciples of the Tathagata roar like lions, saying: 'Known! Known!' What Dharma do the disciples of the Tathagata know, that they roar like lions? It is the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path leading to the Cessation of Suffering.' At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'The Shramana Gautama is staying in the Deer Park at the Isipatana hermitage in the country of Varanasi, teaching the Dharma to the disciples, even to the point of knowing the Four Noble Truths. I should go now and create obstacles for him.'


。」化作年少,住于佛前,而說偈言:

「何于大眾中,  無畏師子吼,  謂呼無有敵,  望調伏一切?」

爾時,世尊作是念:「惡魔波旬欲作嬈亂。」即說偈言:

「如來於一切,  甚深正法律,  方便師子吼,  於法無所畏。  若有智慧者,  何故自憂怖?」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一一〇二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城多眾踐蹈曠野中,與五百比丘眾俱,而為說法,以五百缽置於中庭。

爾時,世尊為五百比丘說五受陰生滅之法。

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇住王舍城多眾踐蹈曠野中,與五百比丘俱,乃至說五受陰是生滅法。我今當往,為作留難。」化作大牛,往詣佛所,入彼五百缽間,諸比丘即驅,莫令壞缽。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「此非是牛,是魔波旬欲作嬈亂。」即說偈言:

「色受想行識,  非我及我所,  若知真實義,  于彼無所著。  心無所著法,  超出色結縛,  了達一切處,  不住魔境界。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:

『化作年少,住在佛前,並說偈語:』

『為何在大眾之中,發出無畏的獅子吼, 說自己沒有敵人,希望調伏一切?』

當時,世尊心想:『惡魔波旬想要製造擾亂。』於是說了偈語:

『如來對於一切,甚深的正法, 以方便的獅子吼,對於法毫無畏懼。 如果有智慧的人,為何自己憂愁恐懼?』

當時,魔波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思。』內心憂愁,隨即消失不見。

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛住在王舍城多人踐踏的曠野中,與五百比丘在一起,為他們說法,並將五百個缽放在庭院中。

當時,魔波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇住在王舍城多人踐踏的曠野中,與五百比丘在一起,甚至講述五受陰是生滅的道理。我現在應當前去,製造障礙。』於是化作一頭大牛,前往佛陀所在之處,進入那五百個缽之間,眾比丘立即驅趕,不讓它損壞缽。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『這不是牛,是魔波旬想要製造擾亂。』於是說了偈語:

『色、受、想、行、識,不是我以及我所擁有的, 如果知道真實的意義,對於它們就不會執著。 心不執著於法,就能超出色的束縛, 瞭解一切處,就不會停留在魔的境界。』

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 現代漢語譯本:

『(他)化作一個年輕人,住在佛陀面前,並說了偈語:』

『為什麼在眾人之中,發出無畏的獅子吼, 聲稱自己沒有敵人,希望調伏一切?』

當時,世尊心想:『惡魔波旬想要製造混亂。』於是說了偈語:

『如來對於一切,甚深的正法, 以方便的獅子吼,對於法毫無畏懼。 如果有智慧的人,為什麼自己憂愁恐懼?』

當時,魔波旬心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思。』內心憂愁,隨即消失不見。

English version:

'Having transformed into a youth, he dwelt before the Buddha and spoke in verse:

'Why, in the midst of the assembly, do you roar the fearless lion's roar, Claiming to have no enemies, hoping to subdue all?'

At that time, the World-Honored One thought: 'The evil Mara Papiyan desires to create disturbance.' Then he spoke in verse:

'The Tathagata, regarding all, the profound and righteous Dharma, With the skillful lion's roar, has no fear of the Dharma. If there are those with wisdom, why should they worry and fear themselves?'

At that time, Mara Papiyan thought: 'The Shramana Gautama has already known my mind.' With inner sorrow, he immediately disappeared.

(1102)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the wilderness of Rajagriha, a place trodden by many, together with five hundred monks, and was teaching the Dharma, having placed five hundred bowls in the courtyard.

At that time, the World-Honored One was explaining to the five hundred monks the Dharma of the arising and ceasing of the five aggregates of clinging.

At that time, Mara Papiyan thought: 'The Shramana Gautama is dwelling in the wilderness of Rajagriha, a place trodden by many, together with five hundred monks, and is even explaining that the five aggregates of clinging are subject to arising and ceasing. I should now go and create obstacles.' He transformed into a large bull and went to where the Buddha was, entering among the five hundred bowls. The monks immediately drove it away, not allowing it to damage the bowls.

At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'This is not a bull, it is Mara Papiyan who desires to create disturbance.' Then he spoke in verse:

'Form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness, are not 'I' nor 'mine', If one knows the true meaning, one will not be attached to them. The mind, not attached to the Dharma, transcends the bonds of form, Understanding all places, one does not dwell in the realm of Mara.'

After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. English version:

'(He) transformed into a young man, resided before the Buddha, and spoke in verse:'

'Why, in the midst of the crowd, do you utter a fearless lion's roar, Claiming to have no enemies, hoping to subdue all?'

At that time, the World Honored One thought: 'The evil Mara Papiyan intends to create chaos.' Then he spoke in verse:

'The Tathagata, regarding all, the profound and righteous Dharma, With the skillful lion's roar, has no fear of the Dharma. If there are those with wisdom, why do they worry and fear themselves?'

At that time, Mara Papiyan thought: 'The Shramana Gautama already knows my thoughts.' With inner sorrow, he immediately disappeared.

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城多眾踐蹈曠野中,與六百比丘眾俱,為諸比丘說六觸入處集、六觸集、六觸滅。

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住王舍城多眾踐蹈曠野,為六百比丘說六觸入處是集法、是滅法,我今當往,為作留難。」化作壯士,大身勇盛,力能動地,來詣佛所。

彼諸比丘遙見壯士,身大勇盛,見生怖畏,身毛皆豎,共相謂言:「彼為何等,形狀可畏?」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「此是惡魔,欲作嬈亂。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「色聲香味觸,  及第六諸法,  愛念適可意,  世間唯有此。  此是最惡貪,  能繫著凡夫,  超越斯等者,  是佛聖弟子。  度于魔境界,  如日無雲翳。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

English version (1103) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the wilderness of Wangshe City, where many people tread, together with six hundred bhikkhus. He was teaching the bhikkhus about the arising of the six sense bases, the arising of the six contacts, and the cessation of the six contacts. Then, Mara, the Evil One, thought: 'Now, the Shramana Gautama is dwelling in the wilderness of Wangshe City, where many people tread, teaching six hundred bhikkhus that the six sense bases are subject to arising and cessation. I should go there now and create obstacles for him.' He transformed himself into a strong man, tall and powerful, with the strength to shake the earth, and went to where the Buddha was. The bhikkhus, seeing the strong man from afar, tall and powerful, became frightened, their hair standing on end. They said to each other: 'What is that being, so terrifying in appearance?' Then, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'This is the Evil One, who wants to disturb us.' Then, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 'Form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and the sixth, all dharmas, Love, longing, and what is pleasing, these are all there is in the world. This is the most evil greed, which can bind ordinary people, Those who transcend these are the Buddha's noble disciples. They have crossed over the realm of Mara, like the sun without clouds.' Then, Mara, the Evil One, thought: 'The Shramana Gautama knows my mind.' He became sorrowful and immediately disappeared.

「供養于父母,  及家之尊長,  柔和恭遜辭,  離粗言兩舌。  調伏慳吝心,  常修真實語,  彼三十三天,  見行七法者。  咸各作是言,  當來生此天。」

佛告離車:「我知天帝釋,亦知有鬼似天帝釋,亦知彼帝釋法,受持彼法緣故,得生帝釋處。離車!帝釋本為人時,供養父母,乃至行平等舍。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

In a world of miserliness, even while living at home, he was not stingy, practiced liberating giving, diligent giving, always enjoyed giving, gave with offerings, and gave equally to all.』 At that time, the World Honored One spoke the following verse: 『Supporting parents and the elders in the family, with gentle and respectful words, avoiding harsh speech and divisive talk. Subduing the mind of miserliness, always cultivating truthful speech, those of the Thirty-Three Heavens, seeing those who practice these seven dharmas, will all say: 『In the future, we will be born in this heaven.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

Have you seen the Heavenly Lord Śakra?』 The Buddha replied: 『I have seen him.』 The Licchavi asked again: 『World Honored One! Have you seen a ghost that resembles the form of Śakra?』 The Buddha told the Licchavi: 『I know the Heavenly Lord Śakra, and I also know that there are ghosts that resemble the Heavenly Lord Śakra, and I also know the practices of Śakra, and because of upholding these practices, one is able to be born in the place of Śakra. Licchavi! When Śakra was a human, he supported his parents, and even practiced equal giving.』 At that time, the World Honored One spoke the following verse: 『Supporting parents and the elders in the family, with gentle and respectful words, avoiding harsh speech and divisive talk. Subduing the mind of miserliness, always cultivating truthful speech, those of the Thirty-Three Heavens, seeing those who practice these seven dharmas, will all say: 『In the future, we will be born in this heaven.』

時,有異比丘來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!何因、何緣釋提桓因名釋提桓因?」

佛告比丘:「釋提桓因本為人時,行於頓施;沙門、婆羅門、貧窮、困苦、求生行路乞,施以飲食、錢財、谷、帛、華香、嚴具、床臥、燈明,以堪能故,名釋提桓因。」

比丘復白佛言:「世尊!何因、何緣故,釋提桓因複名富蘭陀羅?」

佛告比丘:「彼釋提桓因本為人時,數數行施衣被、飲食,乃至燈明。以是因緣,故名富蘭陀羅。」

比丘復白佛言:「何因、何緣故,複名摩伽婆。」

佛告比丘:「彼釋提桓因本為人時,名摩伽婆故,釋提桓因即以本名,名摩伽婆。」

我(阿難)是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在毗舍離國獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。

當時,有一位比丘來到佛陀那裡,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!是什麼原因、什麼緣故,釋提桓因被稱為釋提桓因呢?』

佛陀告訴比丘:『釋提桓因在過去為人時,樂於佈施;對於沙門、婆羅門、貧窮、困苦、乞討的行路人,他都佈施飲食、錢財、穀物、布帛、花香、裝飾品、床鋪、燈火,因為他有這樣的能力,所以被稱為釋提桓因。』

比丘又問佛陀:『世尊!是什麼原因、什麼緣故,釋提桓因又被稱為富蘭陀羅呢?』

佛陀告訴比丘:『那位釋提桓因在過去為人時,多次佈施衣服、飲食,乃至燈火。因為這個因緣,所以被稱為富蘭陀羅。』

比丘又問佛陀:『是什麼原因、什麼緣故,他又被稱為摩伽婆呢?』

佛陀告訴比丘:『那位釋提桓因在過去為人時,名字叫摩伽婆,所以釋提桓因就用他原來的名字,被稱為摩伽婆。』

比丘又問佛陀:『是什麼原因、什麼緣故,他又被稱為娑婆婆呢?』

佛陀告訴比丘:『那位釋提桓因在過去為人時,多次用婆詵私的衣服佈施供養。因為這個因緣,所以釋提桓因被稱為娑婆婆。』

比丘又問佛陀:『世尊!是什麼原因、什麼緣故,釋提桓因又被稱為憍尸迦呢?』

佛陀告訴比丘:『那位釋提桓因在過去為人時,是憍尸族姓的人。因為這個因緣,所以那位釋提桓因又被稱為憍尸迦。』

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the multi-storied hall by the Monkey Pond in the country of Vaishali.

Then, a certain bhikkhu came to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and stood to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is the cause, what is the reason that Sakra, Lord of the Devas, is called Sakra, Lord of the Devas?'

The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'When Sakra, Lord of the Devas, was a human being, he practiced giving generously; to ascetics, brahmins, the poor, the distressed, and those begging on the road, he gave food, money, grain, cloth, flowers, incense, ornaments, beds, and lamps. Because of his ability to do so, he is called Sakra, Lord of the Devas.'

The bhikkhu then asked the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is the cause, what is the reason that Sakra, Lord of the Devas, is also called Purandara?'

The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'When that Sakra, Lord of the Devas, was a human being, he frequently gave clothing, food, and even lamps. Because of this reason, he is called Purandara.'

The bhikkhu then asked the Buddha, 'What is the cause, what is the reason that he is also called Maghavan?'

The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'When that Sakra, Lord of the Devas, was a human being, his name was Maghavan, so Sakra, Lord of the Devas, is called Maghavan by his original name.'

The bhikkhu then asked the Buddha, 'What is the cause, what is the reason that he is also called Sakra?'

The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'When that Sakra, Lord of the Devas, was a human being, he frequently gave offerings of fine linen cloth. Because of this reason, Sakra, Lord of the Devas, is called Sakra.'

The bhikkhu then asked the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, what is the cause, what is the reason that Sakra, Lord of the Devas, is also called Kausika?'

The Buddha told the bhikkhu, 'When that Sakra, Lord of the Devas, was a human being, he was a member of the Kausika clan. Because of this reason, that Sakra, Lord of the Devas, is also called Kausika.'

比丘問佛言:「世尊!何因、何緣彼釋提桓因名舍脂缽低?」

佛告比丘:「彼阿修羅女名曰舍脂,為天帝釋第一天後,是故帝釋名舍脂缽低。」

比丘白佛言:「世尊!何因、何緣釋提桓因複名千眼?」

佛告比丘:「彼釋提桓因本為人時,聰明智慧,於一坐間,思千種義,觀察稱量。以是因緣,彼天帝釋複名千眼。」

比丘白佛:「何因、何緣彼釋提桓因複名因提利?」

佛告比丘:「彼天帝釋于諸三十三天,為王為主。以是因緣故,彼天帝釋名因提利。」

佛告比丘:「然彼釋提桓因本為人時,受持七種受。以是因緣,得天帝釋。何等為七?釋提桓因本為人時,供養父母;乃至等行惠施,是為七種受。以是因緣,為天帝釋。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言……如上廣說。

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住鞞舍離國獼猴池側重閣講堂。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,有一夜叉鬼,醜陋惡色,在帝釋空座上坐。三十三天見此鬼醜陋惡色,在帝釋空座上坐。見已,咸各瞋恚。諸天如是極瞋恚已,彼鬼如是如是隨瞋恚漸漸端正

比丘問佛說:『世尊!是什麼原因、什麼緣故,那位釋提桓因被稱為舍脂缽低?』 佛告訴比丘說:『那位阿修羅的女兒名叫舍脂,是天帝釋的第一任天后,因此帝釋被稱為舍脂缽低。』 比丘問佛說:『世尊!是什麼原因、什麼緣故,釋提桓因又被稱為千眼?』 佛告訴比丘說:『那位釋提桓因在做人時,聰明智慧,在一次坐禪中,能思考千種道理,觀察衡量。因為這個原因,那位天帝釋又被稱為千眼。』 比丘問佛說:『是什麼原因、什麼緣故,那位釋提桓因又被稱為因提利?』 佛告訴比丘說:『那位天帝釋在三十三天中,是國王是主宰。因為這個原因,那位天帝釋被稱為因提利。』 佛告訴比丘說:『那位釋提桓因在做人時,奉行七種戒律。因為這個原因,才成為天帝釋。哪七種呢?釋提桓因在做人時,供養父母;乃至平等地行佈施,這就是七種戒律。因為這個原因,才成為天帝釋。』 當時,世尊就說了偈語……像上面那樣詳細地講述。 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一一〇七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在毗舍離國獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘說:『過去世時,有一個夜叉鬼,長相醜陋,坐在帝釋的空位上。三十三天看到這個鬼長相醜陋,坐在帝釋的空位上。看到后,都各自生氣。眾天神這樣極度生氣后,那個鬼就隨著他們的生氣而漸漸變得端正。』

The monks asked the Buddha, 'World Honored One, what is the cause and what is the reason that Shakra, Lord of the Devas, is called Shachi's husband?' The Buddha told the monks, 'That Asura's daughter is named Shachi, and she is the first queen of Shakra, Lord of the Devas. Therefore, Shakra is called Shachi's husband.' The monks asked the Buddha, 'World Honored One, what is the cause and what is the reason that Shakra, Lord of the Devas, is also called Thousand Eyes?' The Buddha told the monks, 'When that Shakra, Lord of the Devas, was a human, he was intelligent and wise. In one sitting, he could contemplate a thousand meanings, observing and measuring them. Because of this reason, that Shakra, Lord of the Devas, is also called Thousand Eyes.' The monks asked the Buddha, 'What is the cause and what is the reason that Shakra, Lord of the Devas, is also called Indra?' The Buddha told the monks, 'That Shakra, Lord of the Devas, is the king and master of the Thirty-three Heavens. Because of this reason, that Shakra, Lord of the Devas, is called Indra.' The Buddha told the monks, 'When that Shakra, Lord of the Devas, was a human, he upheld seven precepts. Because of this reason, he became Shakra, Lord of the Devas. What are the seven? When Shakra, Lord of the Devas, was a human, he supported his parents; and even practiced equal giving. These are the seven precepts. Because of this reason, he became Shakra, Lord of the Devas.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse... as described in detail above. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1107) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the multi-storied lecture hall by the Monkey Pond in the country of Vaishali. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'In the past, there was a Yaksha ghost, ugly and of evil appearance, who sat on the empty seat of Shakra. The Thirty-three Heavens saw this ghost, ugly and of evil appearance, sitting on the empty seat of Shakra. Having seen it, they all became angry. As the gods became extremely angry, the ghost gradually became more handsome as they became more angry.'


「時,三十三天往詣天帝釋,白帝釋言:『憍尸迦!當知有一異鬼,醜陋惡色,在天王空座上坐,我等諸天見彼鬼醜陋惡色,坐天王座,極生瞋恚,隨彼諸天瞋恚,彼鬼隨漸端正。』釋提桓因告諸三十三天:『彼是瞋恚對治鬼。』

「爾時,天帝釋自往彼鬼所,整衣服,偏袒右肩,合掌三稱名字而言:『仁者!我是釋提桓因。』隨釋提桓因如是恭敬下意,彼鬼如是如是隨漸醜陋,即復不現。

「時,釋提桓因自坐已,而說偈言:

「『人當莫瞋恚,  見瞋莫瞋報,   于惡莫生惡,  當破壞憍慢。   不瞋亦不害,  名住賢聖眾,   惡罪起瞋恚,  堅住如石山。   盛瞋恚能持,  如制逸馬車,   我說善御士,  非謂執繩者。』」

佛告諸比丘:「釋提桓因於三十三天為自在王,嘆說不瞋。汝等如是正信非家,出家學道,亦應讚歎不瞋,當如是學。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一〇八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。乞食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,持尼師壇,著右肩上,至安陀林,布尼師壇,坐一樹下,入晝正受

現代漢語譯本 當時,三十三天眾前往拜見天帝釋,稟告帝釋說:『憍尸迦!您應當知道有一個奇怪的鬼,長相醜陋,臉色難看,坐在天王的空位上。我們這些天人看到那鬼長相醜陋,臉色難看,坐在天王的座位上,都非常生氣。隨著這些天人生氣,那鬼就逐漸變得端正。』釋提桓因告訴三十三天眾:『那是一個用嗔恚來對治的鬼。』 當時,天帝釋親自前往那鬼所在的地方,整理好衣服,袒露右肩,合掌三次稱呼自己的名字說:『仁者!我是釋提桓因。』隨著釋提桓因如此恭敬謙卑,那鬼就越來越醜陋,隨即消失不見。 當時,釋提桓因自己坐下後,說了偈語: 『人們應當不要嗔恚,看到嗔恚不要用嗔恚報復,對於惡事不要產生惡念,應當破除驕慢。 不嗔恚也不傷害,這樣的人被稱為住在賢聖的行列中,惡罪由嗔恚而起,要像石頭山一樣堅固不動。 能夠控制強烈的嗔恚,就像駕馭脫韁的馬車一樣,我說這樣的人才是善於駕馭的人,而不是指那些拿著韁繩的人。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『釋提桓因在三十三天中是自在之王,他都讚歎不嗔恚。你們這些真正信仰佛法,離開家庭出家修道的人,也應當讚歎不嗔恚,應當這樣學習。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一一〇八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。乞食完畢后,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著尼師壇,搭在右肩上,來到安陀林,鋪好尼師壇,坐在一棵樹下,進入午間禪定。

English version At that time, the thirty-three devas went to see Śakra, the lord of the gods, and reported to him, 『Kauśika! You should know that there is a strange ghost, ugly and with a terrible complexion, sitting on the empty throne of the king of gods. When we devas saw that ghost, ugly and with a terrible complexion, sitting on the king's throne, we became extremely angry. As these devas became angry, the ghost gradually became more handsome.』 Śakra, the lord of the gods, told the thirty-three devas, 『That is a ghost that is counteracted by anger.』 At that time, Śakra, the lord of the gods, went to where the ghost was, adjusted his clothes, bared his right shoulder, and with his palms together, called out his name three times, saying, 『O worthy one! I am Śakra, the lord of the gods.』 As Śakra, the lord of the gods, showed such respect and humility, the ghost became increasingly ugly and then disappeared. Then, Śakra, the lord of the gods, sat down and spoke this verse: 『People should not be angry, when they see anger, they should not retaliate with anger, they should not generate evil thoughts towards evil, they should break down arrogance. Not being angry and not harming, such a person is said to dwell among the wise and noble. Evil arises from anger, one should be as firm and unmoving as a stone mountain. Being able to control intense anger is like controlling a runaway chariot. I say that such a person is a skilled charioteer, not just someone who holds the reins.』 The Buddha told the monks, 『Śakra, the lord of the gods, is the sovereign of the thirty-three devas, and he praises not being angry. You, who have true faith, have left your homes to practice the Way, should also praise not being angry, and should learn in this way.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1108) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Śrāvastī. At that time, the World-Honored One, in the morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered the city of Śrāvastī to beg for alms. After begging for alms, he returned to the monastery, put away his robes and bowl, washed his feet, took his sitting cloth, placed it on his right shoulder, went to the Andha Forest, spread out his sitting cloth, sat under a tree, and entered the midday meditation.


爾時,祇桓中有兩比丘諍起,一人罵詈,一人默然。其罵詈者,即便改悔懺謝于彼,而彼比丘不受其懺,以不受懺故。時,精舍中眾多比丘共相勸諫,高聲鬧亂。

爾時,世尊以凈天耳過於人耳,聞祇桓中高聲鬧亂。聞已,從禪覺,還精舍,于大眾前敷座而坐,告諸比丘:「我今晨朝乞食,還至安陀林,坐禪入晝正受,聞精舍中高聲大聲,紛紜鬧亂,竟為是誰?」

比丘白佛:「此精舍中有二比丘諍起,一比丘罵,一者默然。時,罵比丘尋向悔謝,而彼不受。緣不受故,多人勸諫,故致大聲,高聲鬧亂。」

佛告比丘:「云何?比丘!愚癡之人,人向悔謝,不受其懺,若人懺而不受者,是愚癡人,長夜當得不饒益苦。諸比丘!過去世時,釋提桓因有三十三天共諍,說偈教誡言:

「『於他無害心,  瞋亦不纏結,   懷恨不經久,  于瞋以不住。   雖復瞋恚盛,  不發於粗言,   不求彼開節,  揚人之虛短。   常當自防護,  以義內省察,   不怒亦不害,  常與賢聖俱。   若與惡人俱,  剛強猶山石,   盛恚能自持,  如制逸馬車。   我說為善御,  非謂執繩者

現代漢語譯本:當時,在祇桓精舍中有兩位比丘發生爭執,其中一位辱罵,另一位保持沉默。辱罵的比丘隨即悔改並向對方道歉,但那位比丘不接受他的懺悔,因為不接受懺悔的緣故,精舍中許多比丘一起勸說,聲音喧鬧。 這時,世尊以清凈的天耳,超越了人耳的聽力,聽到了祇桓精舍中喧鬧的聲音。聽見后,他從禪定中醒來,回到精舍,在大眾面前鋪設座位坐下,告訴眾比丘:『我今天早上乞食,回到安陀林,坐禪進入午間正受時,聽到精舍中高聲喧譁,吵鬧紛亂,到底是誰造成的?』 比丘們告訴佛陀:『這精舍中有兩位比丘發生爭執,一位比丘辱罵,另一位保持沉默。當時,辱罵的比丘立即請求懺悔,但對方不接受。因為不接受懺悔的緣故,許多人勸說,所以導致大聲喧譁,吵鬧紛亂。』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『怎麼樣?比丘們!愚癡的人,別人向他懺悔,卻不接受懺悔,如果有人懺悔而不接受,這個人就是愚癡的人,長久以來將得不到利益和安樂。各位比丘!過去世時,釋提桓因與三十三天眾神發生爭執,他們說了偈語教誡說:』 『對他人沒有傷害的心,嗔恨也不會纏繞,懷恨不會長久,對於嗔恨不會執著。即使嗔恨很盛,也不會說粗暴的話,不尋求揭露別人的缺點,宣揚別人的虛假短處。應當常常自我防護,用正義來反省自己,不發怒也不傷害別人,常常與賢聖之人在一起。如果與惡人在一起,要像山石一樣剛強,盛怒時能夠自我控制,就像駕馭脫韁的馬車一樣。我說這樣的人是善於駕馭的,而不是指那些僅僅拿著韁繩的人。』

English version: At that time, in the Jeta Grove, two monks had a dispute. One of them was scolding, and the other remained silent. The one who had been scolding then repented and apologized to the other, but that monk did not accept his repentance. Because of this refusal, many monks in the monastery joined in to advise them, causing a loud commotion. Then, the World Honored One, with his pure heavenly ear that surpassed human hearing, heard the loud commotion in the Jeta Grove. Having heard it, he awoke from his meditation, returned to the monastery, and sat down on a seat in front of the assembly. He said to the monks, 'This morning, I went for alms, returned to the Andha forest, and entered the midday meditation. I heard loud noises and commotion in the monastery. Who is responsible for this?' The monks told the Buddha, 'In this monastery, two monks had a dispute. One monk was scolding, and the other remained silent. Then, the monk who had been scolding immediately asked for repentance, but the other did not accept it. Because of this refusal, many people advised them, which led to the loud commotion.' The Buddha said to the monks, 'What do you think, monks? A foolish person, when someone repents to him, does not accept the repentance. If someone repents and it is not accepted, that person is foolish and will not gain benefit or happiness for a long time. Monks, in the past, Sakra, the lord of the gods, had a dispute with the thirty-three gods, and they spoke verses to teach and admonish:' 'Have a heart that does no harm to others, and anger will not entangle you. Do not hold grudges for long, and do not dwell on anger. Even if anger is strong, do not speak harsh words, do not seek to expose others' faults, and do not spread their false shortcomings. You should always protect yourself, reflect on yourself with righteousness, do not get angry, and do not harm others. Always be with the wise and virtuous. If you are with evil people, be as strong as a mountain rock. When anger is strong, be able to control yourself, like controlling a runaway chariot. I say that such a person is a good driver, not just someone who holds the reins.'


。』」

佛告諸比丘:「釋提桓因於三十三天為自在王,常行忍辱,亦復讚歎行忍者。汝等比丘正信非家,出家學道,當行忍辱,讚歎忍者,應當學!」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,天、阿修羅對陣欲戰,釋提桓因語毗摩質多羅阿修羅王:『莫得各各共相殺害,但當論議,理屈者伏。』毗摩質多羅阿修羅王言:『設共論議,誰當證知理之通塞?』天帝釋言:『諸天眾中自有智慧明記識者,阿修羅眾亦復自有明記識者。』毗摩質多羅阿修羅言:『可爾。』釋提桓因言:『汝等可先立論,然後我當隨後立論,則不為難。』

「時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王即說偈立論言:

「『我若行忍者,  於事則有闕,   愚癡者當言,  怖畏故行忍。』

「釋提桓因說偈答言:

「『正使愚癡者,  言恐怖故忍,   及其不言者,  于理何所傷。   但自觀其義,  亦觀於他義,   彼我悉獲安,  斯忍為最上。』

「毗摩質多羅阿修羅復說偈言:

「『若不制愚癡,  愚癡則傷人,   猶如兇惡牛,  舍走逐觸人

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『釋提桓因在三十三天是自在之王,他常常實行忍辱,也讚歎實行忍辱的人。你們這些比丘,以正信捨棄家庭,出家修道,應當實行忍辱,讚歎忍辱的人,應當學習!』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(一一〇九)

我(阿難)是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去世時,天人和阿修羅對陣準備開戰,釋提桓因對毗摩質多羅阿修羅王說:『不要互相殘殺,應當辯論,理虧的一方認輸。』毗摩質多羅阿修羅王說:『如果辯論,誰來判斷道理的通達與否?』天帝釋說:『天眾中有智慧明記的人,阿修羅眾中也有明記的人。』毗摩質多羅阿修羅說:『可以。』釋提桓因說:『你們可以先立論,然後我再隨後立論,這樣就不算為難。』

『當時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王就用偈語立論說:

『我如果實行忍辱, 在事情上就會有缺失, 愚癡的人會說, 是因為害怕才實行忍辱。』

『釋提桓因用偈語回答說:

『即使愚癡的人, 說是因為害怕才忍辱, 他們不說的時候, 對道理又有什麼損害呢? 只要自己觀察其中的道理, 也觀察他人的道理, 彼此都能獲得安寧, 這種忍辱才是最上等的。』

『毗摩質多羅阿修羅又用偈語說:

『如果不制止愚癡, 愚癡就會傷害人, 就像兇惡的牛, 捨棄道路追逐觸碰人。』

English version The Buddha told the monks, 'Śakra, the lord of the Thirty-three Heavens, constantly practices patience and also praises those who practice patience. You monks, having left your homes with true faith to pursue the path, should practice patience, praise those who practice patience, and should learn this!' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully followed it.

(1109)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Śrāvastī.

At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'In the past, when the gods and asuras were arrayed for battle, Śakra said to Vimalacitra, the king of the asuras, 'Let us not kill each other, but rather debate, and the one who is defeated in reason shall submit.' Vimalacitra, the king of the asuras, said, 'If we debate, who will judge the validity of the arguments?' Śakra said, 'Among the gods, there are those with wisdom and clear memory, and among the asuras, there are also those with clear memory.' Vimalacitra, the asura, said, 'Agreed.' Śakra said, 'You may present your argument first, and then I will present mine afterward, so it will not be difficult.'

'At that time, Vimalacitra, the king of the asuras, presented his argument in verse, saying:

'If I practice patience, there will be a deficiency in matters, The foolish will say, I practice patience because of fear.'

'Śakra answered in verse, saying:

'Even if the foolish say, I endure because of fear, When they do not speak, what harm is there to the principle? Just observe the meaning for oneself, and also observe the meaning for others, Both will obtain peace, this patience is the most supreme.'

'Vimalacitra, the asura, again spoke in verse, saying:

'If foolishness is not restrained, foolishness will harm people, Like a fierce ox, abandoning the path, it chases and butts people.'


。   執杖而強制,  怖畏則調伏,   是故堅持杖,  折伏彼愚夫。』

「帝釋復說偈言:

「『我常觀察彼,  制彼愚夫者,   愚者瞋恚盛,  智以靜默伏。   不瞋亦不害,  常與賢聖俱,   惡罪起瞋恚,  堅住如石山。   盛瞋恚能持,  如制逸馬車,   我說善御士,  非謂執繩者。』

「爾時,天眾中有天智慧者,阿修羅眾中有阿修羅智慧者,於此偈思惟稱量觀察,作是念:『毗摩質多羅阿修羅所說偈,終竟長夜起于斗訟戰諍,當知毗摩質多羅阿修羅王教人長夜斗訟戰諍;釋提桓因所說偈,長夜終竟息于斗訟戰諍,當知天帝釋長夜教人息于斗訟戰諍,當知帝釋善論得勝。』」

佛告諸比丘:「釋提桓因以善論議伏阿修羅。諸比丘!釋提桓因於三十三天為自在王,立於善論,讚歎善論。汝等比丘亦應如是,正信非家,出家學道,亦當善論,讚歎善論,應當學!」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一一〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,有天帝釋,天、阿修羅對陣欲戰

現代漢語譯本 『用棍棒強制執行,用恐懼來調伏,所以要堅持使用棍棒,以此來折服那些愚蠢的人。』 『我經常觀察那些能夠制服愚蠢的人,愚蠢的人容易憤怒,而智者則用平靜沉默來制服他們。 不發怒也不傷害,經常與賢聖之人在一起,惡行源於憤怒,要像石頭山一樣堅定不移。 能夠控制強烈的憤怒,就像控制脫韁的馬車一樣,我說這才是善於駕馭的人,而不是指那些拿著韁繩的人。』 當時,天眾中有智慧的天人,阿修羅眾中有智慧的阿修羅,他們對這些偈語進行思考、衡量和觀察,心中想:『毗摩質多羅阿修羅所說的偈語,最終會導致長久的爭鬥和戰爭,應當知道毗摩質多羅阿修羅王教人長久地爭鬥和戰爭;釋提桓因所說的偈語,最終會平息長久的爭鬥和戰爭,應當知道天帝釋教人平息長久的爭鬥和戰爭,應當知道帝釋的善辯獲得了勝利。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『釋提桓因用善辯的論證降伏了阿修羅。各位比丘!釋提桓因在三十三天中是自在的王,他堅持善辯,讚美善辯。你們這些比丘也應該像他一樣,以正信離開家庭,出家修道,也應當善於辯論,讚美善辯,應當學習!』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一一一〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『在過去世,有天帝釋,天人和阿修羅對陣準備開戰。

English version 'To enforce with a staff, to subdue with fear, therefore, hold onto the staff, to subdue those foolish ones.' 'I often observe those who can subdue the foolish, the foolish are prone to anger, while the wise subdue them with calm silence. Neither angry nor harmful, always with the virtuous and holy, evil arises from anger, be steadfast like a stone mountain. Able to control intense anger, like controlling a runaway chariot, I say this is a skilled driver, not those who hold the reins.' At that time, among the heavenly beings were wise devas, and among the asuras were wise asuras, they pondered, measured, and observed these verses, thinking: 'The verses spoken by Vimalacitra Asura will ultimately lead to prolonged strife and war, it should be known that King Vimalacitra Asura teaches people to engage in prolonged strife and war; the verses spoken by Sakra, Lord of the Devas, will ultimately cease prolonged strife and war, it should be known that Sakra, Lord of the Devas, teaches people to cease prolonged strife and war, it should be known that Sakra's skillful arguments have won.' The Buddha told the monks: 'Sakra, Lord of the Devas, subdued the asuras with skillful arguments. Monks! Sakra, Lord of the Devas, is the sovereign king in the Thirty-three Heavens, he upholds skillful arguments and praises skillful arguments. You monks should also be like him, with right faith leave your homes, renounce and practice the Way, you should also be skilled in debate, praise skillful debate, you should learn!' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (1110) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'In the past, there was Sakra, Lord of the Devas, the devas and asuras were arrayed for battle.'


。釋提桓因語三十三天眾言:『今日諸天與阿修羅軍戰,諸天得勝,阿修羅不如者,當生擒毗摩質多羅阿修羅王,以五繫縛,將還天宮。』毗摩質多羅阿修羅王告阿修羅眾:『今日諸天、阿修羅共戰,若阿修羅勝,諸天不如者,當生擒釋提桓因,以五繫縛,將還阿修羅宮。』當其戰時,諸天得勝,阿修羅不如。

「時,彼諸天捉得毗摩質多羅阿修羅王,以五繫縛,將還天宮,縛在帝釋斷法殿前門下。帝釋從此門入出之時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅縛在門側瞋恚罵詈。

「時,帝釋御者見阿修羅王,身被五縛,在於門側,帝釋出入之時輒瞋恚罵詈。見已即便說偈,白帝釋言:

「『釋今為畏彼,  為力不足耶,   能忍阿修羅,  面前而罵辱。』

「釋即答言:

「『不以畏故忍,  亦非力不足,   何有黠慧人,  而與愚夫對。』

「御者復白言:

「『若但行忍者,  於事則有闕,   愚癡者當言,  畏怖故行忍。   是故當苦治,  以智制愚癡。』

「帝釋答言:

「『我常觀察彼,  制彼愚夫者,   見愚者瞋盛,  智以靜默伏。   非力而為力,  是彼愚癡力,   愚癡違遠法,  于道則無有

現代漢語譯本:釋提桓因對三十三天的大眾說:『今天諸天與阿修羅軍隊作戰,如果諸天得勝,阿修羅失敗,就應當活捉毗摩質多羅阿修羅王,用五花大綁捆起來,帶回天宮。』毗摩質多羅阿修羅王告訴阿修羅大眾:『今天諸天和阿修羅共同作戰,如果阿修羅得勝,諸天失敗,就應當活捉釋提桓因,用五花大綁捆起來,帶回阿修羅宮。』當他們交戰時,諸天得勝,阿修羅失敗。 當時,那些諸天捉住了毗摩質多羅阿修羅王,用五花大綁捆起來,帶回天宮,把他綁在帝釋的斷法殿前門下。帝釋從這個門出入的時候,毗摩質多羅阿修羅被綁在門邊,憤怒地謾罵。 當時,帝釋的御者看見阿修羅王,身上被五花大綁,在門邊,帝釋出入的時候總是憤怒地謾罵。看見后就說了偈語,告訴帝釋說: 『釋,你現在是害怕他嗎?還是力量不足呢?竟然能忍受阿修羅在面前謾罵侮辱。』 帝釋就回答說: 『我不是因為害怕才忍耐,也不是因為力量不足,哪裡有聰明的人會和愚蠢的人爭辯呢?』 御者又稟告說: 『如果只是忍讓,事情就會有缺失,愚蠢的人會說,是因為害怕才忍讓。所以應當嚴厲懲治,用智慧來制服愚蠢。』 帝釋回答說: 『我常常觀察他們,制服那些愚蠢的人,看到愚蠢的人憤怒時,就用沉默來降伏他們。 不是用力量來作為力量,那是愚蠢的力量,愚蠢違背正法,在道上就沒有成就。』

English version: Śakra, lord of the gods, spoke to the assembly of the Thirty-three Gods, saying, 『Today, if the gods fight with the army of the Asuras and the gods are victorious while the Asuras are defeated, then we should capture the Asura King Vemacitrin alive, bind him with five bonds, and bring him back to the heavenly palace.』 The Asura King Vemacitrin told the Asura assembly, 『Today, if the gods and Asuras fight together, and if the Asuras are victorious while the gods are defeated, then we should capture Śakra alive, bind him with five bonds, and bring him back to the Asura palace.』 When they fought, the gods were victorious, and the Asuras were defeated. At that time, those gods captured the Asura King Vemacitrin, bound him with five bonds, and brought him back to the heavenly palace, tying him at the foot of the door in front of Śakra』s judgment hall. When Śakra entered and exited through this door, Vemacitrin, bound at the side of the door, would angrily curse and revile him. At that time, Śakra』s charioteer saw the Asura King, bound with five bonds, at the side of the door, and that he would always angrily curse and revile Śakra when he entered and exited. Having seen this, he spoke a verse, saying to Śakra: 『Śakra, are you now afraid of him? Or is it that you lack the strength? How can you endure the Asura cursing and insulting you in your presence?』 Śakra then replied: 『I do not endure because of fear, nor is it because I lack strength. How can a wise person argue with a fool?』 The charioteer then reported again: 『If one only practices forbearance, then there will be shortcomings in matters. The foolish will say that it is out of fear that one practices forbearance. Therefore, one should severely punish and use wisdom to subdue foolishness.』 Śakra replied: 『I always observe them, subduing those foolish ones. When I see a foolish person』s anger rising, I subdue them with silence. It is not strength that is strength; that is the strength of foolishness. Foolishness goes against the Dharma, and there is no achievement on the path.』


。   若使有大力,  能忍於劣者,   是則為上忍。  無力何有忍?   於他極罵辱,  大力者能忍,   是則為上忍。  無力何所忍?   於己及他人,  善護大恐怖,   知彼瞋恚盛,  還自守靜默。   於二義俱備,  自利亦利他。   謂言愚夫者,  以不見法故,   愚夫謂勝忍,  重增其惡口,   未知忍彼罵,  于彼常得勝。   于勝己行忍,  是名恐怖忍。   于等者行忍,  是名忍諍忍。   於劣者行忍,  是則為上忍。』」

佛告諸比丘:「釋提桓因於三十三天為自在王,常行忍辱,讚歎于忍。汝等比丘正信非家,出家學道,亦應如是行忍,讚歎于忍,應當學!」

佛說經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一一一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,釋提桓因欲入園觀。時,敕其御者,令嚴駕千馬之車詣于園觀。御者奉敕,即嚴駕千馬之車,往白帝釋:『唯!俱尸迦!嚴駕已竟,唯王知時。』天帝釋即下常勝殿,東向合掌禮佛。爾時,御者見,即心驚毛豎,馬鞭落地

現代漢語譯本: 『如果一個人有強大的力量,能夠忍受不如自己的人的冒犯,這才是最高的忍耐。沒有力量,又談何忍耐呢? 當別人極盡辱罵時,有力量的人能夠忍受,這才是最高的忍耐。沒有力量,又有什麼可忍耐的呢? 對於自己和他人,要善於守護免受巨大的恐懼,知道對方的嗔怒盛烈時,自己反而要保持安靜沉默。 這樣做了,就具備了兩種意義,既有利於自己,也有利於他人。 那些說這是愚蠢的人,是因為他們不瞭解佛法。愚蠢的人認為忍耐是軟弱,反而會加重惡語相向,他們不知道忍受別人的辱罵,反而能常常戰勝對方。 對於勝過自己的人能夠忍耐,這叫做『恐怖忍』;對於和自己相等的人能夠忍耐,這叫做『忍諍忍』;對於不如自己的人能夠忍耐,這才是最高的忍耐。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『釋提桓因在三十三天作為自在之王,常常實行忍辱,讚歎忍辱。你們這些比丘,以正信出家,學習佛道,也應當像他一樣實行忍辱,讚歎忍辱,應當學習!』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

(一一一一)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去世時,釋提桓因想要入園遊覽。當時,他命令他的御者,準備好千匹馬拉的馬車前往園林。御者接受命令,立即準備好千匹馬拉的馬車,然後稟告帝釋:『俱尸迦!馬車已經準備好了,請大王決定出發的時間。』天帝釋立即從常勝殿下來,面向東方合掌禮佛。當時,御者看到這一幕,頓時心驚膽戰,毛髮豎立,手中的馬鞭也掉在了地上。

English version: 'If one has great strength and can endure those who are inferior, that is the highest form of patience. Without strength, what is there to endure? When others hurl extreme insults, the strong can endure, and that is the highest form of patience. Without strength, what is there to endure? For oneself and others, one should skillfully guard against great fear. Knowing that the other's anger is intense, one should instead remain quiet and silent. By doing so, one possesses both meanings, benefiting both oneself and others. Those who call this foolish do so because they do not understand the Dharma. The foolish think that patience is weakness and will only increase their harsh words. They do not know that by enduring others' insults, one can often overcome them. To endure those who are superior to oneself is called 'fearful patience'; to endure those who are equal to oneself is called 'patience in conflict'; to endure those who are inferior to oneself, that is the highest form of patience.' The Buddha told the monks: 'Shakra, Lord of the Gods, in the Thirty-three Heavens, constantly practices patience and praises patience. You monks, having left home with right faith to study the Way, should also practice patience like him, praise patience, and should learn!' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.

(1111)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'In the past, Shakra, Lord of the Gods, wished to enter the garden for a visit. At that time, he ordered his charioteer to prepare a chariot drawn by a thousand horses to go to the garden. The charioteer received the order and immediately prepared the chariot drawn by a thousand horses, then reported to Shakra: 'Kausika! The chariot is ready, may the King decide the time to depart.' The Lord of the Gods immediately descended from the Hall of Constant Victory, faced east, and joined his palms in reverence to the Buddha. At that moment, the charioteer saw this and was immediately startled, his hair stood on end, and the whip in his hand fell to the ground.


「時,天帝釋見御者心驚毛豎,馬鞭落地,即說偈言:

「『汝見何憂怖,  馬鞭落於地。』

「御者說偈白帝釋言:

「『見王天帝釋,  為舍脂之夫,   所以生恐怖,  馬鞭落地者。   常見天帝釋,  一切諸大地,   人天大小王,  及四護世主。   三十三天眾,  悉皆恭敬禮,   何處更有尊,  尊于帝釋者。   而今正東向,  合掌脩敬禮。』

「爾時,帝釋說偈答言:

「『我實於一切,  世間大小王,   及四護世王,  三十三天眾,   最為其尊王,  故悉來恭敬,   而復有世間,  隨順等正覺,   名號滿天師,  故我稽首禮。』

「御者復白言:

「『是必世間勝,  故使天王釋,   恭敬而合掌,  東向稽首禮。   我今亦當禮,  天王所禮者。』

「時,天帝釋,舍脂之夫說如是偈,禮佛已,乘千馬車,往詣園觀。」

佛告諸比丘:「彼天帝釋於三十三天為自在王,尚恭敬佛,亦復讚歎恭敬于佛。汝等比丘正信非家,出家學道,亦應如是恭敬于佛,亦當讚歎恭敬佛者,應當學!」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本 當時,天帝釋看到駕車人心驚膽戰,汗毛豎立,馬鞭掉在地上,就說了偈語: 『你為何如此憂懼,以至於馬鞭都掉在了地上?』 駕車人也用偈語回答帝釋說: 『我看到您,天帝釋,是舍脂的丈夫, 所以感到恐懼,馬鞭才會掉在地上。 我常見到天帝釋,在所有的大地上, 無論是人界還是天界的大小國王,以及四位護世天王。 三十三天的眾神,都對您恭敬行禮, 哪裡還有比您更尊貴的呢? 而現在您卻正對著東方,合掌行禮。』 這時,帝釋用偈語回答說: 『我確實在一切世間,無論是大小國王, 還是四位護世天王,以及三十三天的眾神中, 都是最尊貴的王,所以他們都來恭敬我。 但是世間還有一位,隨順正等覺悟的, 名號為滿天師的,所以我向他稽首禮拜。』 駕車人又說道: 『那一定是世間最殊勝的,所以才使得天王釋, 恭敬地合掌,向東方稽首禮拜。 我現在也應當禮拜,天王您所禮拜的那位。』 當時,天帝釋,舍脂的丈夫說了這樣的偈語,禮拜佛陀后,就乘坐著千匹馬拉的車,前往園林觀賞。 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『那天帝釋在三十三天是自在之王,尚且恭敬佛陀,也讚歎恭敬佛陀的人。你們這些比丘,正信出家,學習佛道,也應當像這樣恭敬佛陀,也應當讚歎恭敬佛陀的人,應當學習!』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version At that time, when the celestial king Śakra saw the charioteer's heart trembling, his hair standing on end, and the whip falling to the ground, he spoke a verse: 'Why do you look so fearful, that the whip has fallen to the ground?' The charioteer replied to Śakra in verse: 'Seeing you, King Śakra, the husband of Śacī, I am filled with fear, and that is why the whip fell to the ground. I often see King Śakra, in all the great lands, Whether they are great or small kings of humans or gods, and the four guardian kings of the world. The thirty-three gods all respectfully bow to you, Where is there anyone more honorable than you? Yet now you are facing east, with palms joined in reverence.' Then, Śakra replied in verse: 'Indeed, among all in the world, whether great or small kings, Or the four guardian kings, and the thirty-three gods, I am the most honored king, and so they all come to respect me. But there is one in the world, who follows the path of perfect enlightenment, Whose name is 'Full Teacher of the Heavens', and so I bow my head to him.' The charioteer then said: 'He must be the most supreme in the world, that he causes King Śakra, To respectfully join his palms, and bow his head to the east. I too shall now bow to the one whom the king bows to.' At that time, King Śakra, the husband of Śacī, spoke these verses, and after bowing to the Buddha, he rode in a chariot drawn by a thousand horses to visit the garden. The Buddha told the monks: 'That King Śakra is the sovereign king of the thirty-three heavens, yet he still respects the Buddha, and praises those who respect the Buddha. You monks, who have left home with true faith to study the path, should also respect the Buddha in this way, and should praise those who respect the Buddha. You should learn this!' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

Yet there are those who uphold pure precepts, and enter into right concentration throughout the night. They have left home with right faith, and have perfected all the Brahma-faring, therefore I pay them respect and homage. Also, those who have subdued greed and hatred, transcended the realm of ignorance, and cultivate non-negligence, I also respectfully pay homage to them. Greed, hatred, and delusion, all have been forever abandoned, the Arhats who have exhausted all outflows, should also be respectfully paid homage. If there are also those who are householders, who uphold pure precepts, and practice the Uposatha in accordance with the Dharma, they should also be respectfully paid homage.' 'The charioteer said to Shakra: 'These must be the victors of the world, that is why the King of Gods pays homage, I too shall do likewise, and follow the King of Gods in reverence.' 'Monks! That Shakra, Lord of the Gods, the husband of Shachi, pays homage to the Dharma and the Sangha, and also praises those who pay homage to the Dharma and the Sangha. Since you have been able to leave your homes with right faith, and have gone forth to study the Way, you should also pay homage to the Dharma and the Sangha in this way, and should praise those who pay homage to the Dharma and the Sangha.'

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,有天帝釋欲入園觀,王敕御者,令嚴駕千馬之車。御者受教,即嚴駕已,還白帝釋:『乘已嚴駕,唯王知時。』

「爾時,帝釋從常勝殿來下,周向諸方,合掌恭敬。

「時,彼御者見天帝釋從殿來下,住于中庭,周向諸方,合掌恭敬。見已驚怖,馬鞭落地,而說偈言:

「『諸方唯有人,  臭穢胞胎生,   神處穢死屍,  飢渴常燋然。   何故憍尸迦,  故重於非家?   為我說其義,  飢渴愿欲聞。』

「時,天帝釋說偈答言:

「『我正恭敬彼,  能出非家者,   自在游諸方,  不計其行止。   城邑國土色,  不能累其心,   不畜資生具,  一往無慾定。   往則無所求,  唯無為為樂,   言則定善言,  不言則寂定。   諸天阿修羅,  各各共相違,   人間自共諍,  相違亦如是。   唯有出家者,  于諸諍無諍,   於一切眾生,  放舍于刀杖。   于財離財色,  不醉亦不荒,   遠離一切惡,  是故敬禮彼

現代漢語譯本 (一一一三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『過去世時,有天帝釋進入園林觀賞,國王命令御者,準備好一千匹馬拉的車。御者接受命令,立即準備好車駕,然後回來稟告帝釋:『車駕已經準備好了,只等大王決定出發時間。』 『當時,帝釋從常勝殿下來,面向四方,合掌恭敬。』 『當時,那位御者看見天帝釋從殿下來,站在庭院中央,面向四方,合掌恭敬。看到後感到驚恐,馬鞭掉在地上,於是說了這樣一首偈:』 『各方的人,都是從污穢的胞胎中出生,神識寄居在腐臭的屍體中,飢渴總是煎熬著他們。為什麼憍尸迦,如此看重出家之人?請為我解釋其中的道理,我渴望聽到。』 『當時,天帝釋用偈語回答說:』 『我正是恭敬那些能夠出家的人,他們自在地遊歷四方,不計較自己的行蹤。城邑國土的景色,不能牽累他們的心,他們不積蓄生活物資,一心向往無慾的禪定。他們前往時無所求,只以無為為樂,說話時必定是善言,不說話時則寂靜安寧。諸天和阿修羅,各自互相違背,人間也互相爭鬥,互相違背也是如此。只有出家的人,對於各種爭鬥沒有爭執,對於一切眾生,放下刀杖。他們遠離錢財和美色,不沉醉也不荒唐,遠離一切惡行,因此我恭敬禮拜他們。』

English version (1113) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, the World-Honored One addressed the monks, saying: 'In the past, there was a celestial king, Sakra, who entered a garden to observe. The king ordered his charioteer to prepare a chariot drawn by a thousand horses. The charioteer, having received the order, immediately prepared the chariot and returned to inform Sakra: 『The chariot is ready; only the king knows when to depart.』 'At that time, Sakra descended from the Palace of Constant Victory, faced all directions, and respectfully joined his palms.' 'Then, the charioteer saw Sakra descending from the palace, standing in the middle of the courtyard, facing all directions, and respectfully joining his palms. Upon seeing this, he was startled, dropped his whip, and spoke this verse:' 'People in all directions are born from foul wombs, their spirits dwell in decaying corpses, and they are constantly tormented by hunger and thirst. Why, Kausika, do you so highly regard those who have left home? Please explain the reason to me; I am eager to hear it.' 'Then, Sakra replied in verse:' 'I am revering those who are able to leave home, who freely wander in all directions, not concerned with their whereabouts. The sights of cities and countries cannot burden their minds. They do not accumulate possessions, and their minds are set on desireless meditation. When they go, they seek nothing, finding joy only in non-action. When they speak, their words are always good; when they are silent, they are in peaceful stillness. The gods and asuras oppose each other, and humans also contend with each other in the same way. Only those who have left home have no conflict in all disputes. Towards all beings, they lay down their weapons. They are detached from wealth and beauty, neither intoxicated nor reckless. They are far from all evil; therefore, I pay homage to them.'


。』

「是時,御者復說偈言:

「『天王之所敬,  是必世間勝,   故我從今日,  當禮出家人。』

「如是說已,天帝釋敬禮諸方一切僧畢,升于馬車,遊觀園林。」

佛告比丘:「彼天帝釋於三十三天為自在王,而常恭敬眾僧,亦常讚歎恭敬僧功德。汝等比丘正信非家,出家學道,亦當如是恭敬眾僧,亦當讚歎敬僧功德。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一一四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,阿修羅王興四種兵——象兵、馬兵、車兵、步兵。時,三十三天欲共鬥戰。時,天帝釋聞阿修羅王興四種兵——象兵、馬兵、車兵、步兵,來欲共戰。聞已,即告宿毗梨天子言:『阿公知不?阿修羅興四種兵——象兵、馬兵、車兵、步兵,欲與三十三天共戰。阿公可敕三十三天興四種兵——象兵、馬兵、車兵、步兵,與彼阿修羅共戰。』爾時,宿毗梨天子受帝釋教,還自天宮,慢緩寬縱,不勤方便。

「阿修羅眾已出在道路,帝釋聞已,復告宿毗梨天子:『阿公!阿修羅軍已在道路,阿公可速告令起四種兵與阿修羅戰。』宿毗梨天子受帝釋教已,即復還宮,懈怠寬縱

現代漢語譯本 當時,御者又說偈語: 『天王所尊敬的,必定是世間最殊勝的, 所以我從今天起,應當禮敬出家人。』 這樣說完后,天帝釋恭敬地禮拜了十方一切僧眾,然後登上馬車,遊覽園林。 佛陀告訴比丘們:『那位天帝釋在三十三天是自在之王,卻常常恭敬僧眾,也常常讚歎恭敬僧眾的功德。你們這些比丘,以正信捨棄家庭,出家學道,也應當像他一樣恭敬僧眾,也應當讚歎恭敬僧眾的功德。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一一一四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去世時,阿修羅王興起了四種軍隊——象兵、馬兵、車兵、步兵。當時,三十三天想要與他們戰鬥。當時,天帝釋聽到阿修羅王興起了四種軍隊——象兵、馬兵、車兵、步兵,前來想要戰鬥。聽到后,就告訴宿毗梨天子說:『阿公知道嗎?阿修羅興起了四種軍隊——象兵、馬兵、車兵、步兵,想要與三十三天戰鬥。阿公可以命令三十三天興起四種軍隊——象兵、馬兵、車兵、步兵,與那些阿修羅戰鬥。』當時,宿毗梨天子接受了帝釋的命令,回到自己的天宮,卻怠慢寬縱,不勤奮努力。 『阿修羅的軍隊已經出現在道路上了,帝釋聽到后,又告訴宿毗梨天子說:『阿公!阿修羅的軍隊已經在道路上了,阿公可以快點命令興起四種軍隊與阿修羅戰鬥。』宿毗梨天子接受了帝釋的命令后,又回到天宮,懈怠寬縱。

English version At that time, the charioteer again spoke a verse: 'He whom the King of Heaven respects, surely is the most excellent in the world, Therefore, from this day forward, I shall pay homage to those who have left home.' Having spoken thus, the Lord Sakra respectfully saluted all the Sangha in all directions, then ascended his chariot and went to view the gardens. The Buddha told the monks: 'That Lord Sakra is the sovereign king in the Thirty-three Heavens, yet he always respects the Sangha, and he also always praises the merits of respecting the Sangha. You monks, having left your homes with true faith to study the Way, should also be like him in respecting the Sangha, and should also praise the merits of respecting the Sangha.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (1114) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'In the past, the Asura King raised four kinds of troops—elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry. At that time, the Thirty-three Heavens wanted to fight with them. At that time, Lord Sakra heard that the Asura King had raised four kinds of troops—elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry—and was coming to fight. Having heard this, he immediately told the son of Suku-pili: 'Do you know, my friend? The Asuras have raised four kinds of troops—elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry—and want to fight with the Thirty-three Heavens. You can order the Thirty-three Heavens to raise four kinds of troops—elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry—to fight with those Asuras.' At that time, the son of Suku-pili received Lord Sakra's command, returned to his own heavenly palace, but was slow and indulgent, not diligent and expedient. 'The Asura troops have already appeared on the road,' Lord Sakra heard this, and again told the son of Suku-pili: 'My friend! The Asura troops are already on the road, you can quickly order the raising of four kinds of troops to fight with the Asuras.' The son of Suku-pili, having received Lord Sakra's command, again returned to his palace, lazy and indulgent.


「時,阿修羅王軍已垂至,釋提桓因聞阿修羅軍已在近路,復告宿毗梨天子:『阿公知不?阿修羅軍已在近路,阿公!速告諸天起四種兵。』

「時,宿毗梨天子即說偈言:

「『若有不起處,  無為安隱樂,   得如是處者,  無作亦無憂。   當與我是處,  令我得安隱。』

「爾時,帝釋說偈答言:

「『若有不起處,  無為安隱樂,   若得是處者,  無作亦無憂。   汝得是處者,  亦應將我去。』

「宿毗梨天子復說偈言:

「『若處無方便,  不起安隱樂,   若得彼處者,  無作亦無憂。   當與我是處,  令我得安隱。』

「時,天帝釋復說偈答言:

「『若處無方便,  不起安隱樂,   若人得是處,  無作亦無憂。   汝得是處者,  亦應將我去。』

「宿毗梨天子復說偈言:

「『若處不放逸,  不起安隱樂,   若人得是處,  無作亦無憂。   汝得是處者,  亦應將我去

現代漢語譯本 當時,阿修羅王的軍隊已經逼近,釋提桓因聽到阿修羅的軍隊已在近處,又告訴宿毗梨天子:『阿公知道嗎?阿修羅的軍隊已經在近路了,阿公!快告訴諸天發起四種軍隊。』 當時,宿毗梨天子就說了偈語: 『如果有一個地方不起動,是無為安穩的快樂, 得到那個地方的人,無所作為也沒有憂愁。 應當把那個地方給我,讓我得到安穩。』 這時,帝釋說了偈語回答說: 『如果有一個地方不起動,是無為安穩的快樂, 如果得到那個地方的人,無所作為也沒有憂愁。 你如果得到那個地方,也應該帶我一起去。』 宿毗梨天子又說了偈語: 『如果有一個地方沒有方便,不起動是安穩的快樂, 如果得到那個地方的人,無所作為也沒有憂愁。 應當把那個地方給我,讓我得到安穩。』 當時,天帝釋又說了偈語回答說: 『如果有一個地方沒有方便,不起動是安穩的快樂, 如果有人得到那個地方,無所作為也沒有憂愁。 你如果得到那個地方,也應該帶我一起去。』 宿毗梨天子又說了偈語: 『如果有一個地方不放逸,不起動是安穩的快樂, 如果有人得到那個地方,無所作為也沒有憂愁。 應當把那個地方給我,讓我得到安穩的快樂。』 當時,天帝釋又說了偈語: 『如果有一個地方不放逸,不起動是安穩的快樂, 如果有人得到那個地方,無所作為也沒有憂愁。 你如果得到那個地方,也應該帶我一起去。

English version At that time, the army of the Asura King was already approaching. Śakra, lord of the devas, hearing that the Asura army was nearby, again told the deva Suvīra: 『Do you know, sir? The Asura army is already on the nearby road, sir! Quickly tell the devas to raise the four kinds of troops.』 Then, the deva Suvīra spoke in verse: 『If there is a place where there is no arising, a state of non-action and peaceful joy, One who attains such a place, has no action and no sorrow. You should give me that place, so that I may attain peace.』 At that time, Śakra spoke in verse in reply: 『If there is a place where there is no arising, a state of non-action and peaceful joy, If one attains such a place, there is no action and no sorrow. If you attain such a place, you should also take me with you.』 The deva Suvīra again spoke in verse: 『If there is a place without means, where non-arising is peaceful joy, If one attains that place, there is no action and no sorrow. You should give me that place, so that I may attain peace.』 Then, Śakra, lord of the devas, again spoke in verse in reply: 『If there is a place without means, where non-arising is peaceful joy, If one attains that place, there is no action and no sorrow. If you attain such a place, you should also take me with you.』 The deva Suvīra again spoke in verse: 『If there is a place without negligence, where non-arising is peaceful joy, If one attains that place, there is no action and no sorrow. You should give me that place, so that I may attain peaceful joy.』 Then, Śakra, lord of the devas, again spoke in verse: 『If there is a place without negligence, where non-arising is peaceful joy, If one attains that place, there is no action and no sorrow. If you attain such a place, you should also take me with you.』

「宿毗梨復說偈言:

「『懶惰無所起,  不知作已作,   行欲悉皆會,  當與我是處。』

「時,天帝釋復說偈言:

「『懶惰無所起,  得究竟安樂,   汝得彼處者,  亦應將我去。』

「宿毗梨天子復說偈言:

「『無事亦得樂,  無作亦無憂,   若與我是處,  令我得安樂。』

「時,宿毗梨天子嚴四兵——象兵、馬兵、車兵、步兵,與阿修羅戰,摧阿修羅眾,諸天得勝,還歸天宮。」

佛告諸比丘:「釋提桓因興四種兵,與阿修羅戰,精勤得勝。諸比丘!釋提桓因於三十三天為自在王,常以精勤方便,亦常讚歎精勤之德。汝等比丘正信非家,出家學道,當勤精進,讚歎精勤。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一一五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,有一聚落,有諸仙人于聚落邊空閑處住止

現代漢語譯本 宿毗梨天子又說偈語: 『懶惰不會產生任何結果,不知道做了什麼或沒做什麼,如果所有行為都能如願,那應該讓我去那個地方。』 當時,天帝釋又說偈語: 『懶惰不會產生任何結果,卻能得到究竟的安樂,如果你得到了那個地方,也應該帶我一起去。』 宿毗梨天子又說偈語: 『無所事事也能快樂,無所作為也沒有憂愁,如果能讓我去那個地方,就能讓我得到安樂。』 天帝釋又說偈語: 『如果看到或聽到,眾生無所作為,如果你得到了那個地方,也應該帶我一起去。如果你害怕有所作為,不考慮有為之事,那就應該儘快清除通往涅槃的道路。』 當時,宿毗梨天子整頓四種軍隊——象兵、馬兵、車兵、步兵,與阿修羅作戰,擊潰了阿修羅的軍隊,諸天獲得了勝利,返回天宮。 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『釋提桓因興起四種軍隊,與阿修羅作戰,通過精勤努力獲得了勝利。諸位比丘!釋提桓因在三十三天是自在之王,常常以精勤方便,也常常讚歎精勤的功德。你們這些比丘,以正信離開家庭,出家學道,應當勤奮精進,讚歎精勤。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (一一一五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去世時,有一個村落,有一些仙人在村落附近的空閑地方居住。』

English version Then, the deva Suku-pīli spoke in verse: 'Laziness produces nothing, not knowing what has been done or not done. If all actions are fulfilled, then that place should be given to me.' At that time, Sakka, the lord of devas, spoke in verse: 'Laziness produces nothing, yet one obtains ultimate bliss. If you have obtained that place, you should also take me with you.' The deva Suku-pīli spoke again in verse: 'Being idle also brings joy, and without action, there is no sorrow. If I could be in that place, it would bring me peace.' Sakka, the lord of devas, spoke again in verse: 'If one sees or hears that beings do nothing, if you have obtained that place, you should also take me with you. If you fear action, and do not consider the conditioned, then you should quickly clear the path to Nirvana.' Then, the deva Suku-pīli prepared his fourfold army—elephants, horses, chariots, and infantry—and fought against the Asuras, defeating their forces. The devas were victorious and returned to their heavenly abode. The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'Sakka, the lord of devas, raised his fourfold army and fought against the Asuras, achieving victory through diligence. Bhikkhus! Sakka is the sovereign king of the Thirty-three devas, and he always uses diligence and skillful means, and he always praises the virtue of diligence. You bhikkhus, having left your homes with faith, and having gone forth to practice the path, should be diligent and praise diligence.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (1115) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'In the past, there was a village, and some ascetics lived in a secluded place near the village.'


「時,有諸天、阿修羅去聚落不遠,對陣戰鬥。

「爾時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王除去五飾,脫去天冠,卻傘蓋,除劍刀,屏寶拂,脫革屣,至彼仙人住處,入于門內,周向看視,不顧眄諸仙人,亦不問訊。看已,還出。

「時,有一仙人遙見毗摩質多羅阿修羅王除去五飾入園,看已,還出。見已,語諸仙人言:『此何等人?有不調伏色,不似人形,非威儀法,似田舍兒,非長者子,除去五飾,入于園門,高視觀看,亦不顧眄問訊諸仙人。』有一仙人答言:『此是毗摩質多羅阿修羅王,除去五飾,觀看而去。』彼仙人言:『此非賢士,不好不善,非賢非法,除去五飾,來入園門,看已,還去,亦不顧眄問訊諸仙人。以是故,當知天眾增長,阿修羅損減。』

「時,釋提桓因除去五飾,入仙人住處,與諸仙人面相問訊慰勞,然後還出。

「復有仙人見天帝釋除去五飾,入于園門,周遍問訊。見已,問諸仙人:『此是何人?入于園林,有調伏色,有可適人色,有威儀色,非田舍兒,似族姓子,除去五飾,來入園門,周遍問訊,然後還出。』有仙人答言:『此是天帝釋,除去五飾,來入園門,周遍問訊,然後還去

現代漢語譯本 當時,諸天和阿修羅在離村落不遠的地方對陣戰鬥。 那時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王卸下五種裝飾,脫下天冠,收起傘蓋,除去劍刀,放下寶拂,脫下皮鞋,來到仙人居住的地方,進入門內,環顧四周,不看也不問候各位仙人。看完后,就出來了。 當時,有一位仙人遠遠看見毗摩質多羅阿修羅王卸下五種裝飾進入園中,看完后,又出來了。看見后,就對各位仙人說:『這是什麼人?神色不調柔,不像人的樣子,沒有威儀,像個鄉下孩子,不像貴族子弟,卸下五種裝飾,進入園門,高傲地觀看,也不看也不問候各位仙人。』有一位仙人回答說:『這是毗摩質多羅阿修羅王,卸下五種裝飾,觀看后就離開了。』那位仙人說:『這不是賢士,不好不善,不賢不法,卸下五種裝飾,來到園門,看完后就回去,也不看也不問候各位仙人。因此,應當知道天眾會增長,阿修羅會衰減。』 當時,釋提桓因卸下五種裝飾,進入仙人居住的地方,與各位仙人互相問候慰問,然後才出來。 又有一位仙人看見天帝釋卸下五種裝飾,進入園門,周到地問候。看見后,就問各位仙人:『這是什麼人?進入園林,神色調柔,有令人愉悅的神色,有威儀,不像鄉下孩子,像貴族子弟,卸下五種裝飾,來到園門,周到地問候,然後才出來。』有仙人回答說:『這是天帝釋,卸下五種裝飾,來到園門,周到地問候,然後才離開。』

English version At that time, the gods and Asuras were engaged in battle not far from the settlement. Then, the Asura King Vimalacitra removed his five ornaments, took off his heavenly crown, put away his parasol, removed his sword, put aside his jeweled whisk, took off his leather shoes, and went to the place where the hermits lived. He entered the gate, looked around, did not look at or greet the hermits. After looking, he went out. At that time, one hermit saw from afar that the Asura King Vimalacitra had removed his five ornaments and entered the garden, and after looking, he went out again. Having seen this, he said to the hermits: 'Who is this person? His demeanor is not subdued, he does not look like a human, he has no proper conduct, he looks like a country bumpkin, not like a son of a noble family. He removed his five ornaments, entered the garden gate, looked around haughtily, and did not look at or greet the hermits.' One hermit replied: 'This is the Asura King Vimalacitra, who removed his five ornaments, looked around, and left.' That hermit said: 'This is not a virtuous person, not good or kind, not virtuous or lawful. He removed his five ornaments, came to the garden gate, looked around, and went back, without looking at or greeting the hermits. Therefore, it should be known that the heavenly host will increase, and the Asuras will decrease.' At that time, Sakra, Lord of the Gods, removed his five ornaments, entered the place where the hermits lived, greeted and comforted the hermits, and then went out. Again, one hermit saw Sakra, Lord of the Gods, remove his five ornaments and enter the garden gate, greeting everyone thoroughly. Having seen this, he asked the hermits: 'Who is this person? He entered the garden, his demeanor is subdued, he has a pleasing appearance, he has proper conduct, he does not look like a country bumpkin, but like a son of a noble family. He removed his five ornaments, came to the garden gate, greeted everyone thoroughly, and then went out.' One hermit replied: 'This is Sakra, Lord of the Gods, who removed his five ornaments, came to the garden gate, greeted everyone thoroughly, and then left.'


。』彼仙人言:『此是賢士,善好真實威儀法,除去五飾,來入園門,周遍問訊,然後還去,以是當知天眾增長,阿修羅眾損減。』

「時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王聞仙人稱歎諸天,聞已,瞋恚熾盛。

「時,彼空處仙人聞阿修羅王瞋恚熾盛,往詣毗摩質多羅阿修羅王所,而說偈言:

「『仙人故來此,  求乞施無畏,   汝能施無畏,  賜牟尼恩教。』

「毗摩質多羅以偈答言:

「『于汝仙人所,  無有施無畏,   違背阿修羅,  習近帝釋故。   於此諸無畏,  當遺以恐怖。』

「仙人復說偈言:

「『隨行殖種子,  隨類果報生,   來乞于無畏,  遺之以恐怖。   當獲無盡畏,  施畏種子故。』

「時,諸仙人于毗摩質多羅阿修羅王面前說咒已,凌虛而逝。

「即於是夜,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王心驚三起,眠中聞惡聲言:『釋提桓因興四種兵,與阿修羅戰!』驚覺恐怖,慮戰必敗,退走而還阿修羅宮。

「時,天帝釋敵退得勝已,詣彼空閑仙人住處,禮諸仙人足已,退于西面諸仙人前,東向而坐。

「時,東風起,有異仙人即說偈言:

「『今此諸牟尼,  出家來日久,   腋下流汗臭,  莫順坐風下

現代漢語譯本:那位仙人說:『這是賢士,他們具有良好真實的威儀法度,去除五種裝飾,來到園門,周遍問候,然後離去。由此可知天眾將會增長,阿修羅眾將會損減。』 當時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王聽到仙人稱讚諸天,聽后,怒火中燒。 當時,那位空處的仙人聽到阿修羅王怒火中燒,就前往毗摩質多羅阿修羅王那裡,並說了偈語: 『仙人特地來到這裡,請求施予無畏,你若能施予無畏,就賜予牟尼的恩教。』 毗摩質多羅用偈語回答說: 『在你仙人那裡,沒有施予無畏的道理,因為你違背阿修羅,親近帝釋的緣故。 對於這些尋求無畏的人,我將給予他們恐怖。』 仙人又說了偈語: 『隨著所種的種子,就會產生相應的果報,你來乞求無畏,卻給予恐怖。 你將獲得無盡的恐懼,因為你種下了恐懼的種子。』 當時,眾仙人在毗摩質多羅阿修羅王面前說了咒語后,就騰空離去。 就在當晚,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王心中驚恐三次,在睡夢中聽到惡聲說:『釋提桓因興起四種軍隊,與阿修羅作戰!』驚醒後感到恐懼,擔心戰敗,就退回阿修羅宮。 當時,天帝釋擊退敵人獲得勝利后,來到那空閑仙人居住的地方,禮拜眾仙人的腳后,退到西面眾仙人面前,面向東方而坐。 當時,東風吹起,有位不同的仙人就說了偈語: 『這些牟尼,出家已經很久了,腋下流汗有臭味,不要順著風向坐。』

English version: The hermit said, 'These are virtuous men, possessing good and true dignified conduct. They remove the five ornaments, come to the garden gate, greet everyone around, and then leave. From this, it can be known that the heavenly beings will increase, and the Asura beings will decrease.' At that time, the Asura King Vimalacitra, upon hearing the hermit praise the gods, became enraged. At that time, the hermit in that empty place, hearing that the Asura King was enraged, went to the Asura King Vimalacitra and spoke a verse: 'The hermit has come here specifically, seeking the bestowal of fearlessness. If you can bestow fearlessness, then grant the teachings of the Muni.' Vimalacitra replied with a verse: 'With you hermits, there is no reason to bestow fearlessness, because you have turned against the Asuras and are close to Indra. To those who seek fearlessness, I shall give terror.' The hermit spoke another verse: 'According to the seeds that are sown, corresponding fruits will arise. You come to beg for fearlessness, yet you give terror. You will obtain endless fear, because you have sown the seeds of fear.' At that time, the hermits, having recited mantras in front of the Asura King Vimalacitra, departed into the sky. That very night, the Asura King Vimalacitra was startled three times in his heart. In his sleep, he heard an evil voice saying, 'Shakra, Lord of the Gods, has raised four kinds of troops to fight against the Asuras!' Startled awake and terrified, fearing defeat, he retreated back to the Asura palace. At that time, Shakra, Lord of the Gods, having defeated the enemy and gained victory, went to the place where the hermits resided in that empty space. After bowing at the feet of the hermits, he retreated to the west in front of the hermits and sat facing east. At that time, the east wind arose, and a different hermit spoke a verse: 'These Munis, having been renunciates for a long time, have the odor of sweat under their arms. Do not sit downwind.'


。   千眼可移坐,  此臭難可堪。』

「時,天帝釋說偈答言:

「『種種眾香華,  結以為華鬘,   今之所聞香,  其香復過是,   寧久聞斯香,  未曾生厭患。』」

佛告諸比丘:「彼天帝釋於三十三天為自在王,恭敬出家人,亦常讚歎出家人,亦常讚歎恭敬之德。汝等比丘正信非家,出家學道,常應恭敬諸梵行者,亦當讚歎恭敬之德。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一一六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。時,天帝釋晨朝來詣佛所,稽首佛足,以帝釋神力,身諸光明遍照祇樹精舍。

時,釋提桓因說偈問佛言:

「為殺於何等,  而得安隱眠?  為殺於何等,  而得無憂畏?  為殺何等法,  瞿曇所讚歎?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「害兇惡瞋恚,  而得安隱眠,  害兇惡瞋恚,  心得無憂畏。  瞋恚為毒根,  滅彼苦種子,  滅彼苦種子,  而得無憂畏。  彼苦種滅故,  賢聖所稱歎。」

爾時,釋提桓因聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一一七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 『千眼可以移開坐席,但這臭味實在難以忍受。』 當時,天帝釋用偈語回答說: 『各種各樣的香花,結成美麗的花環,現在所聞到的香味,比那些香還要濃郁,寧願長久聞著這香味,也不會感到厭倦。』 佛告訴眾比丘:『那天帝釋在三十三天是自在之王,他恭敬出家人,也常常讚歎出家人,也常常讚歎恭敬的德行。你們這些比丘,以正信捨棄家庭,出家學道,應當常常恭敬那些梵行者,也應當讚歎恭敬的德行。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一一一六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。當時,天帝釋清晨來到佛的住所,向佛的腳行禮,憑藉帝釋的神力,他身上的光明遍照祇樹精舍。 當時,釋提桓因用偈語問佛說: 『殺掉什麼才能安穩入睡?殺掉什麼才能沒有憂愁和恐懼?殺掉什麼法,是瞿曇所讚歎的?』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『除掉兇惡的嗔恚,才能安穩入睡,除掉兇惡的嗔恚,內心才能沒有憂愁和恐懼。嗔恚是毒根,滅掉它就是滅掉痛苦的種子,滅掉痛苦的種子,才能沒有憂愁和恐懼。痛苦的種子滅掉了,這是賢聖所稱讚的。』 當時,釋提桓因聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (一一一七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

English version 'A thousand eyes can move their seat, but this stench is unbearable.' Then, the Lord of the Gods, Sakra, replied with a verse: 'Various fragrant flowers, woven into garlands, the fragrance now smelled, surpasses even those, I would rather smell this fragrance for a long time, and never grow weary of it.' The Buddha told the monks, 'That Lord of the Gods, Sakra, is the sovereign king in the Thirty-three Heavens, he respects those who have left home, and often praises those who have left home, and also often praises the virtue of respect. You monks, with true faith, have left your homes, and gone forth to learn the Way, you should always respect those who practice the holy life, and also praise the virtue of respect.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1116) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, the Lord of the Gods, Sakra, came to the Buddha's place in the morning, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and by Sakra's divine power, the light from his body illuminated the Jeta Grove Monastery. Then, Sakra, Lord of the Devas, asked the Buddha in verse: 'By killing what does one sleep peacefully? By killing what does one have no sorrow or fear? What dharma, when killed, is praised by Gautama?' At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'By destroying wicked anger, one sleeps peacefully, by destroying wicked anger, the mind has no sorrow or fear. Anger is the root of poison, destroying it is destroying the seed of suffering, destroying the seed of suffering, one has no sorrow or fear. Because the seed of suffering is destroyed, this is praised by the noble ones.' Then, Sakra, Lord of the Devas, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed along, bowed, and departed. (1117) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「于月八日,四大天王敕遣大臣,案行世間:『為何等人供養父母、沙門、婆羅門,宗親尊重,作諸福德,見今世惡,畏後世罪,行施作福,受持齋戒,于月八日、十四日、十五日,及神變月,受戒布薩?』至十四日,遣太子下,觀察世間:『為何等人供養父母,乃至受戒布薩?』至十五日,四大天王自下世間,觀察眾生:『為何等人供養父母,乃至受戒布薩?』諸比丘!爾時,世間無有多人供養父母,乃至受戒布薩者。

「時,四天王即往詣三十三天集法講堂,白天帝釋:『天王當知,今諸世間,無有多人供養父母,乃至受戒布薩。』時,三十三天眾聞之不喜,轉相告語:『今世間人,不賢不善,不好不類,無真實行,不供養父母,乃至不受戒布薩。緣斯罪故,諸天眾減,阿修羅眾當漸增廣。』

「諸比丘!爾時,世間若復多人供養父母,乃至受戒布薩者,四天王至三十三天集法講堂,白天帝釋:『天王當知,今諸世間,多有人民供養父母,乃至受戒布薩。』時,三十三天心皆歡喜,轉相告語:『今諸世間,賢聖真實如法,多有人民供養父母,乃至受戒布薩。緣斯福德,阿修羅眾減,諸天眾增廣。』

「時,天帝釋知諸天眾皆歡喜已

現代漢語譯本: 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『在每月的初八,四大天王會派遣大臣巡視世間,檢視:『有哪些人供養父母、沙門、婆羅門,尊敬宗親長輩,行各種善事,看到今世的惡行,畏懼來世的罪過,行佈施作福,受持齋戒,在每月的初八、十四、十五以及神變月,受戒布薩?』到了十四日,會派遣太子地獄,觀察世間:『有哪些人供養父母,乃至受戒布薩?』到了十五日,四大天王親自地獄,觀察眾生:『有哪些人供養父母,乃至受戒布薩?』諸位比丘!那時,世間沒有多少人供養父母,乃至受戒布薩。 『那時,四大天王就會前往三十三天集法講堂,告訴帝釋天:『天王應當知道,現在世間,沒有多少人供養父母,乃至受戒布薩。』那時,三十三天的天眾聽到這些都不高興,互相告知:『現在世間的人,不賢良不善良,不好不類,沒有真實的行為,不供養父母,乃至不受戒布薩。因為這些罪過,天眾會減少,阿修羅眾將會逐漸增多。』 『諸位比丘!那時,如果世間有很多人供養父母,乃至受戒布薩,四大天王就會前往三十三天集法講堂,告訴帝釋天:『天王應當知道,現在世間,有很多人民供養父母,乃至受戒布薩。』那時,三十三天的天眾都會感到歡喜,互相告知:『現在世間,賢良聖潔真實如法,有很多人民供養父母,乃至受戒布薩。因為這些福德,阿修羅眾會減少,天眾會增多。』 『那時,帝釋天知道天眾都歡喜之後』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'On the eighth day of each month, the Four Great Heavenly Kings send their ministers to inspect the world: 'Who are those who support their parents, shramanas, and brahmins, respect their relatives, perform meritorious deeds, see the evils of this life, fear the sins of the next life, practice giving and making merit, observe fasts and precepts, and on the eighth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of the month, as well as during the miraculous month, receive precepts and observe the uposatha?' On the fourteenth day, they send the crown prince down to observe the world: 'Who are those who support their parents, and so on, up to receiving precepts and observing the uposatha?' On the fifteenth day, the Four Great Heavenly Kings themselves descend to the world to observe sentient beings: 'Who are those who support their parents, and so on, up to receiving precepts and observing the uposatha?' Bhikkhus! At that time, there are not many people in the world who support their parents, and so on, up to receiving precepts and observing the uposatha.' 'Then, the Four Heavenly Kings go to the Dharma Assembly Hall of the Thirty-three Heavens and tell Indra: 'Heavenly King, you should know that in the world today, there are not many people who support their parents, and so on, up to receiving precepts and observing the uposatha.' At that time, the devas of the Thirty-three Heavens hear this and are not happy, and they tell each other: 'The people of the world today are not virtuous or good, not good or kind, do not have true conduct, do not support their parents, and so on, up to not receiving precepts and observing the uposatha. Because of these sins, the number of devas will decrease, and the number of asuras will gradually increase.' 'Bhikkhus! At that time, if there are many people in the world who support their parents, and so on, up to receiving precepts and observing the uposatha, the Four Heavenly Kings will go to the Dharma Assembly Hall of the Thirty-three Heavens and tell Indra: 'Heavenly King, you should know that in the world today, there are many people who support their parents, and so on, up to receiving precepts and observing the uposatha.' At that time, the devas of the Thirty-three Heavens will all be happy, and they will tell each other: 'In the world today, there are virtuous and holy people who are true and righteous, and there are many people who support their parents, and so on, up to receiving precepts and observing the uposatha. Because of these merits, the number of asuras will decrease, and the number of devas will increase.' 'Then, Indra, knowing that all the devas are happy,'


。即說偈言:

「『若人月八日,  十四十五日,   及神變之月,  受持八支齋。   如我所修行,  彼亦如是修。』」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「彼天帝釋所說偈言:

「『若人月八日,  十四十五日,   及神變之月,  受持八支齋。   如我所修行,  彼亦如是修。』

「此非善說。所以者何?彼天帝釋自有貪、恚、癡患,不脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦故。

「若阿羅漢比丘!諸漏已盡,所作已作,離諸重擔,斷諸有結,心善解脫,說此偈言:

「『若人月八日,  十四十五日,   及神變之月,  受持八支齋。   如我所修行,  彼亦如是修。』

「如是說者,則為善說。所以者何?阿羅漢比丘離貪、恚、癡,已脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,是故此偈則為善說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一一八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

於是,佛陀說了偈語: 『如果有人在每月的初八、十四、十五,以及神變月受持八關齋戒。 就像我所修行的一樣,他們也應該這樣修行。』 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『天帝釋所說的偈語:』 『如果有人在每月的初八、十四、十五,以及神變月受持八關齋戒。 就像我所修行的一樣,他們也應該這樣修行。』 『這並非善說。為什麼呢?因為天帝釋自己還有貪、嗔、癡的煩惱,沒有脫離生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。』 『如果是一位阿羅漢比丘,諸漏已盡,該做的已做完,放下了一切重擔,斷除了所有存在的束縛,心已得到徹底的解脫,說出這樣的偈語:』 『如果有人在每月的初八、十四、十五,以及神變月受持八關齋戒。 就像我所修行的一樣,他們也應該這樣修行。』 『這樣說才是善說。為什麼呢?因為阿羅漢比丘已經遠離了貪、嗔、癡,已經脫離了生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,所以這個偈語才是善說。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一一一八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

Then, the Buddha spoke in verse: 'If a person on the eighth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of the month, and during the month of miracles, observes the eight precepts of fasting. As I have practiced, so should they practice.' At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'The verse spoken by the Lord Sakra, the king of gods:' 'If a person on the eighth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of the month, and during the month of miracles, observes the eight precepts of fasting. As I have practiced, so should they practice.' 'This is not well spoken. Why is that? Because the Lord Sakra himself still has the afflictions of greed, hatred, and delusion, and has not escaped birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering.' 'If an Arhat monk, whose outflows are exhausted, who has done what needs to be done, who has laid down all burdens, who has broken all the bonds of existence, and whose mind is well liberated, speaks this verse:' 'If a person on the eighth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days of the month, and during the month of miracles, observes the eight precepts of fasting. As I have practiced, so should they practice.' 'Such a saying is well spoken. Why is that? Because an Arhat monk has abandoned greed, hatred, and delusion, and has escaped birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering, therefore this verse is well spoken.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (1118) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王疾病困篤,往詣釋提桓因所,語釋提桓因言:『憍尸迦!當知我今疾病困篤,為我療治,令得安隱!』釋提桓因語毗摩質多羅阿修羅言:『汝當授我幻法,我當療治汝病,令得安隱。』毗摩質多羅阿修羅語帝釋言:『我當還問諸阿修羅眾,聽我者,當授帝釋阿修羅幻法。』

「爾時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅即往至諸阿修羅眾中,語諸阿修羅言:『諸人當知,我今疾病困篤,往詣釋提桓因所,求彼治病。彼語我言:「汝能授我阿修羅幻法者,當治汝病,令得安隱。」我今當往為彼說阿修羅幻法。』

「時,有一詐偽阿修羅語毗摩質多羅阿修羅:『其彼天帝釋質直好信不虛偽,但語彼言:「天王!此阿修羅幻法,若學者,令人墮地獄,受罪無量百千歲。」彼天帝釋必當息意,不復求學,當言:「汝去!令汝病差,可得安隱!」』

「時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅復往帝釋所,說偈白言:

「『千眼尊天王,  阿修羅幻術,   皆是虛誑法,  令人墮地獄。   無量百千歲,  受苦無休息

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去世時,阿修羅王毗摩質多羅病重,前往帝釋天處,對帝釋天說:「憍尸迦!你要知道我現在病重,請你為我治療,讓我能夠安穩!」帝釋天對毗摩質多羅阿修羅說:「你應當傳授我幻術,我就會為你治療疾病,讓你能夠安穩。」毗摩質多羅阿修羅對帝釋天說:「我應當回去問問眾阿修羅,如果他們同意,我就把阿修羅的幻術傳授給你。」』 『當時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅就前往眾阿修羅那裡,對眾阿修羅說:「各位要知道,我現在病重,前往帝釋天那裡,請求他為我治病。他告訴我:『如果你能傳授我阿修羅的幻術,我就為你治病,讓你能夠安穩。』我現在打算去為他說阿修羅的幻術。」』 『當時,有一個奸詐的阿修羅對毗摩質多羅阿修羅說:「那個天帝釋為人正直,喜歡相信別人,不虛偽,你只要告訴他:『天王!這種阿修羅的幻術,如果學習了,會使人墮入地獄,遭受無量百千年的罪苦。』那個天帝釋必定會停止學習的念頭,不再求學,會說:『你走吧!讓你病好,可以安穩!』」』 『當時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅又前往帝釋天處,用偈語稟告說:』 『千眼尊貴的天王,阿修羅的幻術,都是虛妄不實的法,會使人墮入地獄。無量百千年,遭受痛苦沒有休息。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'In the past, King Vimalacitra of the Asuras was seriously ill. He went to Sakra, Lord of the Devas, and said to Sakra: 'Kausika! You should know that I am now seriously ill. Please heal me so that I can be at peace!' Sakra said to Vimalacitra, the Asura: 'You should teach me the illusionary arts, and I will heal your illness so that you can be at peace.' Vimalacitra, the Asura, said to Sakra: 'I should go back and ask the assembly of Asuras. If they agree, I will teach you the illusionary arts of the Asuras.' 'At that time, Vimalacitra, the Asura, went to the assembly of Asuras and said to them: 'You should know that I am now seriously ill. I went to Sakra, Lord of the Devas, to ask him to heal me. He told me: 'If you can teach me the illusionary arts of the Asuras, I will heal you so that you can be at peace.' I now intend to go and tell him the illusionary arts of the Asuras.' 'At that time, a deceitful Asura said to Vimalacitra, the Asura: 'That Sakra, Lord of the Devas, is upright, likes to believe others, and is not false. You only need to tell him: 'Great King! If one learns this illusionary art of the Asuras, it will cause one to fall into hell and suffer immeasurable hundreds of thousands of years of torment.' That Sakra, Lord of the Devas, will surely stop his intention to learn, and will no longer seek to learn it. He will say: 'Go! May your illness be cured, and may you be at peace!'' 'At that time, Vimalacitra, the Asura, went to Sakra again and reported in verse:' 'O Thousand-Eyed Honored King of the Devas, the illusionary arts of the Asuras are all false and unreal, causing people to fall into hell. For immeasurable hundreds of thousands of years, they suffer without rest.'


。』

「時,天帝釋語毗摩質多羅阿修羅言:『止!止!如是幻術,非我所須,汝且還去,令汝身病寂滅休息,得力安隱!』」

佛告諸比丘:「釋提桓因於三十三天為自在王,長夜真實,不幻不偽,賢善質直。汝等比丘正信非家,出家學道,亦應如是不幻不偽,賢善質直,當如是學。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一一九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「時,有天帝釋及鞞盧阇那子婆稚阿修羅王,有絕妙之容,于晨朝時,俱詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。時,天帝釋及鞞盧阇那子婆稚阿修羅王,身諸光明,普照祇樹給孤獨園。」

爾時,鞞盧阇那阿修羅王說偈白佛:

「人當勤方便,  必令利滿足,  是利滿足已,  何須複方便。」

時,天帝釋復說偈言:

「若人勤方便,  必令利滿足,  是利滿足已,  修忍無過上。」

說是偈已,俱白佛言:「世尊!何者善說?」世尊告言:「汝等所說,二說俱善。」

然今汝等復聽我說。

「一切眾生類,  悉皆求己利,  彼彼諸眾生,  各自求所應

現代漢語譯本 『當時,天帝釋對毗摩質多羅阿修羅說:『停止!停止!像這樣的幻術,不是我所需要的,你還是回去吧,讓你身上的疾病寂滅休息,得到力量安穩!』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『釋提桓因在三十三天是自在之王,長久以來真實不虛,不虛幻不偽造,賢善正直。你們這些比丘,正信出家,學習佛道,也應當像這樣不虛幻不偽造,賢善正直,應當這樣學習。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (一一一九) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『當時,有天帝釋和毗盧遮那之子婆稚阿修羅王,他們容貌絕妙,在早晨的時候,一同來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退坐在一旁。當時,天帝釋和毗盧遮那之子婆稚阿修羅王,他們身上的光明,普照祇樹給孤獨園。』 當時,毗盧遮那阿修羅王說偈語告訴佛陀: 『人應當勤奮努力,必定使利益滿足,這利益滿足后,何必再用方便。』 當時,天帝釋又說偈語: 『如果人勤奮努力,必定使利益滿足,這利益滿足后,修習忍辱沒有比這更好的。』 說完偈語后,他們一同告訴佛陀:『世尊!誰說得好?』世尊告訴他們:『你們所說的,兩種說法都很好。』 然而現在你們再聽我說。 『一切眾生,都尋求自己的利益,那些眾生,各自尋求自己所應得的。』

English version 'At that time, the Heavenly Emperor Śakra said to the Asura Vemacitrin: 'Stop! Stop! Such illusions are not what I need. You should go back, let the illness in your body cease and rest, and gain strength and peace!' The Buddha told the monks: 'Śakra, the Lord of the Gods, is the sovereign of the Thirty-three Heavens. He has been true and real for a long time, not illusory or false, virtuous and upright. You monks, who have left home with true faith to study the Way, should also be like this, not illusory or false, virtuous and upright. You should learn in this way.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1119) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Śrāvastī. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'At that time, there were the Heavenly Emperor Śakra and the Asura King Vepacitti, son of Virocana, who had exquisite appearances. In the morning, they both came to where the Buddha was, bowed their heads at the Buddha's feet, and then sat down to one side. At that time, the light from the bodies of the Heavenly Emperor Śakra and the Asura King Vepacitti, son of Virocana, illuminated the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.' At that time, the Asura King Vepacitti spoke a verse to the Buddha: 'People should strive diligently, surely to fulfill their benefits. Once these benefits are fulfilled, why need one use further means?' At that time, the Heavenly Emperor Śakra spoke another verse: 'If people strive diligently, surely to fulfill their benefits. Once these benefits are fulfilled, there is no greater practice than cultivating patience.' After speaking these verses, they both said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! Who has spoken well?' The World Honored One told them: 'What you have said, both are good.' However, now listen to what I have to say. 'All sentient beings seek their own benefit. Those beings, each seek what is appropriate for them.'


。  世間諸和合,  及與第一義,  當知世和合,  則為非常法。  若人勤方便,  必令利滿足,  是利滿足已,  修忍無過上。」

爾時,天帝釋及鞞盧阇那子婆稚阿修羅王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「釋提桓因於三十三天為自在王,修行于忍,讚歎于忍。汝等比丘正信非家,出家學道,亦應如是修行于忍,讚歎于忍!」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一二〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,有天帝釋白佛言:『世尊!我今受如是戒:「乃至佛法住世,盡其形壽,有惱我者,要不反報加惱于彼。」』時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王聞天帝釋受如是戒:『乃至佛法住世,盡其形壽,有惱我者,我不反報加惱于彼。』聞已,執持利劍,逆道而來。

「時,天帝釋遙見毗摩質多羅阿修羅王執持利劍,逆道而來,即遙告言:『阿修羅!住!縛汝勿動!』

「毗摩質多羅阿修羅王即不得動,語帝釋言:『汝今豈不受如是戒:「若佛法住世,盡其形壽,有惱我者,必不還報。」耶?』天帝釋答言:『我實受如是戒,但汝息住受縛

現代漢語譯本:世間一切因緣和合的事物,以及那最高的真理,應當明白世間因緣和合的事物,都是無常變化的。如果有人勤奮努力地運用方便法門,必定能使利益圓滿,當利益圓滿之後,修習忍辱就沒有比這更高的了。 當時,天帝釋和毗盧遮那之子婆稚阿修羅王聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『釋提桓因在三十三天作為自在之王,修行忍辱,讚歎忍辱。你們這些比丘,以正信之心捨棄家庭,出家學道,也應當像這樣修行忍辱,讚歎忍辱!』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (一一二〇) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去世時,有天帝釋稟告佛陀說:「世尊!我現在受持這樣的戒律:『乃至佛法住世,我這一生,如果有惱害我的人,我決不反過來報復惱害他。』」』當時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王聽聞天帝釋受持這樣的戒律:『乃至佛法住世,我這一生,如果有惱害我的人,我決不反過來報復惱害他。』聽聞后,就拿著利劍,逆著道路而來。 『當時,天帝釋遠遠地看見毗摩質多羅阿修羅王拿著利劍,逆著道路而來,就遠遠地告訴他說:「阿修羅!停下!我束縛你,讓你不能動!」』 『毗摩質多羅阿修羅王立刻就不能動了,對帝釋說:「你難道不是受持這樣的戒律:『如果佛法住世,我這一生,如果有惱害我的人,必定不還報嗎?』」天帝釋回答說:「我確實受持這樣的戒律,但是你停下來接受束縛。」』

English version: All things in the world that come together through conditions, as well as the highest truth, should be understood that worldly things that come together through conditions are impermanent. If someone diligently uses skillful means, they will surely achieve complete benefit. Once the benefit is complete, there is no higher practice than cultivating patience. At that time, Indra, the king of the gods, and Vepacitti, the Asura king, son of Virocana, heard what the Buddha said, and they rejoiced and praised it. They bowed and departed. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'Indra, the king of the gods, is the sovereign of the Thirty-three Heavens. He practices patience and praises patience. You monks, who have left your homes with true faith to study the Way, should also practice patience and praise patience in this way!' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks heard what the Buddha said, and they joyfully practiced it. (1120) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'In the past, Indra, the king of the gods, reported to the Buddha, saying, 「World Honored One! I now uphold this precept: 『As long as the Buddha's teachings remain in the world, for the rest of my life, if there is anyone who harms me, I will never retaliate by harming them in return.』」』 At that time, Vepacitti, the Asura king, heard that Indra, the king of the gods, had taken this precept: 『As long as the Buddha's teachings remain in the world, for the rest of my life, if there is anyone who harms me, I will never retaliate by harming them in return.』 Upon hearing this, he took up his sharp sword and came against him on the road. 'At that time, Indra, the king of the gods, saw Vepacitti, the Asura king, coming against him on the road with a sharp sword, and he called out to him from afar, saying, 「Asura! Stop! I bind you, so you cannot move!」' 'Vepacitti, the Asura king, immediately could not move, and he said to Indra, 「Have you not taken this precept: 『If the Buddha's teachings remain in the world, for the rest of my life, if there is anyone who harms me, I will surely not retaliate』?」 Indra, the king of the gods, replied, 「I have indeed taken this precept, but you must stop and accept being bound.」』


。』阿修羅言:『今且放我!』帝釋答言:『汝若約誓不作亂者,然後放汝。』阿修羅言:『放我當如法作。』帝釋答言:『先如法作,然後放汝!』

「時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王即說偈言:

「『貪慾之所趣,  及瞋恚所趣,   妄語之所趣,  謗毀賢聖趣。   我若嬈亂者,  趣同彼趣趣。』

「釋提桓因復告言:『放汝令去,隨汝所安。』

「爾時,天帝釋令阿修羅王作約誓已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:『世尊!我于佛前受如是戒:「乃至佛法住世,盡其形壽,有惱我者,我不反報。」毗摩質多羅阿修羅王聞我受戒,手執利劍,隨路而來。我遙見已,語言:「阿修羅!住!住!縛汝勿動!」彼阿修羅言:「汝不受戒耶?」我即答言:「我實受戒,且汝今住,縛汝勿動。」彼即求脫,我告彼言:「若作約誓不作亂者,當令汝脫。」阿修羅言:「且當放我,當說約誓。」我即告言:「先說約誓,然後放汝。」彼即說偈,作約誓言:

「『貪慾之所趣,  及瞋恚所趣,   妄語之所趣,  謗毀賢聖趣,   我若作嬈亂,  趣同彼趣趣。』

「『如是

現代漢語譯本:阿修羅說:『現在先放了我!』帝釋回答說:『你如果發誓不作亂,然後就放你。』阿修羅說:『放了我,我當依法行事。』帝釋回答說:『先依法行事,然後放你!』 當時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王就說了偈語: 『貪慾所引之處,以及嗔恚所引之處, 虛妄之語所引之處,誹謗賢聖所引之處。 我如果擾亂,所去之處就與他們相同。』 釋提桓因又告訴他說:『放你離去,隨你所安。』 當時,天帝釋讓阿修羅王立下誓約后,前往佛陀處,頂禮佛足,退坐一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我在佛前受了這樣的戒律:「乃至佛法住世,我終其一生,如果有惱害我的人,我不會反報。」毗摩質多羅阿修羅王聽到我受戒,手持利劍,沿著路而來。我遠遠看見他,就說:「阿修羅!站住!站住!綁住你,不要動!」那阿修羅說:「你不是受戒了嗎?」我立即回答說:「我確實受戒了,你現在先站住,綁住你,不要動。」他隨即求脫身,我告訴他說:「如果立下誓約不作亂,就讓你脫身。」阿修羅說:「先放了我,我當說誓約。」我立即告訴他說:「先說誓約,然後放你。」他就說了偈語,立下誓約說: 『貪慾所引之處,以及嗔恚所引之處, 虛妄之語所引之處,誹謗賢聖所引之處, 我如果作擾亂,所去之處就與他們相同。』 『像這樣』

English version: The Asura said, 『Now, release me first!』 Indra replied, 『If you swear not to cause trouble, then I will release you.』 The Asura said, 『Release me, and I will act according to the law.』 Indra replied, 『First act according to the law, then I will release you!』 At that time, King Vimalacitra Asura spoke a verse: 『The place to which greed leads, and the place to which anger leads, The place to which false speech leads, the place to which slandering the wise and noble leads. If I cause disturbance, the place I go will be the same as theirs.』 Śakra, the lord of the gods, further said, 『I release you to go, wherever you are at peace.』 At that time, the Lord Śakra, having made the Asura king make a vow, went to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha, 『Venerable One! I have taken such a precept before the Buddha: 「As long as the Buddha's Dharma remains in the world, for the rest of my life, if there are those who trouble me, I will not retaliate.」 King Vimalacitra Asura, hearing that I had taken the precept, came along the road with a sharp sword in his hand. When I saw him from afar, I said, 「Asura! Stop! Stop! I bind you, do not move!」 That Asura said, 「Have you not taken the precept?」 I immediately replied, 「I have indeed taken the precept, but you must stop now, I bind you, do not move.」 He then sought to escape, and I told him, 「If you make a vow not to cause trouble, I will let you escape.」 The Asura said, 「Release me first, and I will make the vow.」 I immediately told him, 「First make the vow, then I will release you.」 He then spoke a verse, making the vow, saying: 『The place to which greed leads, and the place to which anger leads, The place to which false speech leads, the place to which slandering the wise and noble leads, If I cause disturbance, the place I go will be the same as theirs.』 『Thus』


。世尊!我要彼阿修羅王令說約誓,為是法不?彼阿修羅復為嬈亂不?』

「佛告天帝釋:『善哉!善哉!汝要彼約誓,如法不違,彼亦不復敢作嬈亂。』爾時,天帝釋聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「彼天帝釋於三十三天為自在王,不為嬈亂,亦常讚歎不嬈亂法。汝等比丘正信非家,出家學道,亦應如是行不嬈亂,亦當讚歎不擾亂法。」

雜阿含經卷第四十 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 雜阿含經

雜阿含經卷第四十一

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(一一二一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園。時,有眾多釋氏來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告諸釋氏:「汝等諸瞿曇!於法齋日及神足月受持齋戒,修功德不?」

諸釋氏白佛言:「世尊!我等於諸齋日有時得受齋戒,有時不得;于神足月有時齋戒,修諸功德,有時不得。」

佛告諸釋氏:「瞿曇!汝等不獲善利,汝等是憍慢者、煩惱人、憂悲人、惱苦人

現代漢語譯本:『世尊!我想讓那位阿修羅王立下誓約,這樣做符合佛法嗎?那位阿修羅還會再來擾亂我們嗎?』 佛陀告訴帝釋天:『很好!很好!你要求他立下誓約,只要如法不違背,他就不敢再來擾亂了。』當時,帝釋天聽了佛陀的話,歡喜讚歎,行禮后就離開了。 這時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『這位帝釋天在三十三天是自在之王,不作擾亂,也常常讚歎不擾亂的法。你們這些比丘,以正信出家學道,也應當這樣奉行不擾亂,也應當讚歎不擾亂的法。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地遵照奉行。 《雜阿含經》卷第四十 《雜阿含經》卷第四十一 宋代天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (一一二一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園。當時,有很多釋迦族人來到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足后,退坐在一旁。 這時,世尊告訴各位釋迦族人:『你們這些瞿曇族人!在齋戒日和神足月,有沒有受持齋戒,修習功德呢?』 各位釋迦族人回答佛陀說:『世尊!我們在齋戒日,有時能夠受持齋戒,有時不能;在神足月,有時能夠齋戒,修習各種功德,有時不能。』 佛陀告訴各位釋迦族人:『瞿曇!你們沒有獲得善利,你們是驕慢的人、煩惱的人、憂愁悲傷的人、苦惱的人。』

English version: 'World-Honored One! I wish to have that Asura King make a vow. Is this in accordance with the Dharma? Will that Asura still cause disturbances?' The Buddha said to Sakra, the Lord of Gods: 'Excellent! Excellent! If you ask him to make a vow, and it is in accordance with the Dharma and not violated, he will not dare to cause disturbances again.' At that time, Sakra, the Lord of Gods, hearing what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed, and then departed. Then, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'This Sakra, the Lord of Gods, is the sovereign of the Thirty-three Heavens, does not cause disturbances, and always praises the Dharma of non-disturbance. You monks, having left home with right faith to learn the Way, should also practice non-disturbance in this way, and should also praise the Dharma of non-disturbance.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully followed them. Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 40 Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 41 Translated by Gunabhadra, Tripitaka Master from India of the Song Dynasty (1121) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Banyan Grove of Kapilavastu. At that time, many members of the Sakya clan came to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side. Then, the World-Honored One said to the Sakyas: 'You Gotamas! On the fast days and the months of miraculous powers, do you observe the fast and cultivate merit?' The Sakyas replied to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! On the fast days, sometimes we are able to observe the fast, and sometimes we are not; in the months of miraculous powers, sometimes we are able to fast and cultivate various merits, and sometimes we are not.' The Buddha said to the Sakyas: 'Gotamas! You have not obtained good benefits. You are arrogant people, afflicted people, sorrowful people, and distressed people.'


。何故於諸齋日或得齋戒,或不得?于神足月或得齋戒,作諸功德,或不得?諸瞿曇!譬人求利,日日增長,一日一錢,二日兩錢,三日四錢,四日八錢,五日十六錢,六日三十二錢。如是士夫日常增長,八日、九日乃至一月,錢財轉增廣耶?」

長者白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告釋氏:「云何?瞿曇!如是士夫錢財轉增,當得自然錢財增廣,復欲令我於十年中一向喜樂心樂,多住禪定,寧得以不?」

釋氏答言:「不也,世尊!」

佛告釋氏:「若得九年、八年、七年、六年、五年、四年、三年、二年、一年喜樂心樂,多住禪定以不?」

釋氏答言:「不也,世尊!」

佛告釋氏:「且置年歲,寧得十月、九月、八月乃至一月喜樂心樂,多住禪定以不?復置一月,寧得十日、九日、八日乃至一日一夜喜樂心樂,禪定多住以不?」

釋氏答言:「不也,世尊!」

佛告釋氏:「我今語汝,我聲聞中有直心者,不諂不幻,我于彼人,十年教化,以是因緣,彼人則能百千萬歲一向喜樂心樂,多住禪定,斯有是處!復置十年,若九年、八年乃至一年,十月、九月乃至一月,十日、九日乃至一日一夜,我教化,至其明旦,能令勝進

現代漢語譯本:為什麼在一些齋戒日可以持齋戒,而另一些齋戒日卻不可以?為什麼在神足月,有時可以持齋戒,行各種功德,有時卻不可以?諸位瞿曇!譬如有人求利,每天都在增長,第一天得一錢,第二天得兩錢,第三天得四錢,第四天得八錢,第五天得十六錢,第六天得三十二錢。像這樣的人每天都在增長,第八天、第九天乃至一個月,錢財會不斷增加嗎?' 長者回答佛說:'是的,世尊!' 佛告訴釋迦族人:'怎麼樣?瞿曇!像這樣的人錢財不斷增加,能夠自然而然地讓錢財增多,還想讓我在十年中一直保持喜悅的心情,安住于禪定,可以做到嗎?' 釋迦族人回答說:'不能,世尊!' 佛告訴釋迦族人:'如果能得到九年、八年、七年、六年、五年、四年、三年、二年、一年喜悅的心情,安住于禪定,可以做到嗎?' 釋迦族人回答說:'不能,世尊!' 佛告訴釋迦族人:'暫且放下年歲,如果能得到十個月、九個月、八個月乃至一個月喜悅的心情,安住于禪定,可以做到嗎?再放下一個月,如果能得到十天、九天、八天乃至一天一夜喜悅的心情,安住于禪定,可以做到嗎?' 釋迦族人回答說:'不能,世尊!' 佛告訴釋迦族人:'我現在告訴你們,我的聲聞弟子中,有心直口快、不諂媚不虛偽的人,我教化他們十年,因為這個因緣,他們就能在百千萬年中一直保持喜悅的心情,安住于禪定,這是有可能的!再放下十年,如果是九年、八年乃至一年,十個月、九個月乃至一個月,十天、九天乃至一天一夜,我教化他們,到第二天早上,就能讓他們更加精進。'

English version: 'Why is it that on some fast days one can observe the fast, while on others one cannot? Why is it that during the month of miraculous powers, one can sometimes observe the fast and perform various meritorious deeds, while at other times one cannot? O Gautamas! It is like a person seeking profit, increasing daily, gaining one coin on the first day, two coins on the second day, four coins on the third day, eight coins on the fourth day, sixteen coins on the fifth day, and thirty-two coins on the sixth day. Will such a person's wealth continue to increase daily, on the eighth day, the ninth day, and even for a month?' The elder replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, O Lord!' The Buddha said to the Sakyas, 'How is it, O Gautamas? If such a person's wealth continues to increase, can it naturally cause the wealth to increase, and also make me remain in a joyful state of mind, dwelling in meditation for ten years?' The Sakyas replied, 'No, O Lord!' The Buddha said to the Sakyas, 'If one could attain a joyful state of mind, dwelling in meditation for nine years, eight years, seven years, six years, five years, four years, three years, two years, or one year, could it be done?' The Sakyas replied, 'No, O Lord!' The Buddha said to the Sakyas, 'Let go of the years for now. If one could attain a joyful state of mind, dwelling in meditation for ten months, nine months, eight months, or even one month, could it be done? And let go of one month. If one could attain a joyful state of mind, dwelling in meditation for ten days, nine days, eight days, or even one day and one night, could it be done?' The Sakyas replied, 'No, O Lord!' The Buddha said to the Sakyas, 'I tell you now, among my disciples who are hearers, there are those who are straightforward, not deceitful or illusory. If I teach them for ten years, because of this cause, they will be able to remain in a joyful state of mind, dwelling in meditation for hundreds of thousands of years. This is possible! And let go of ten years. If it were nine years, eight years, or even one year, ten months, nine months, or even one month, ten days, nine days, or even one day and one night, if I teach them, by the next morning, I can make them advance further.'


。晨朝教化,乃至日暮,能令勝進,以是因緣,得百千萬歲一向喜樂心樂,多住禪定,成就二果,或斯陀含果、阿那含果,以彼士夫先得須陀洹故。」

釋氏白佛:「善哉!世尊!我從今日,于諸齋日當修齋戒,乃至八支,于神足月受持齋戒,隨力惠施,修諸功德。」

佛告釋氏:「善哉!瞿曇!為真實要。」

佛說此經已,時諸釋種聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一二二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。

時,有眾多釋氏集論議堂,作如是論議。時,有釋氏語釋氏難提:「我有時得詣如來,恭敬供養,有時不得;有時得親近供養知識比丘,有時不得,又復不知有諸智慧優婆塞,有餘智慧優婆塞、智慧優婆夷疾病困苦,復云何教化、教誡說法,今當共往詣世尊所,問如此義,如世尊教,當受奉行。」

爾時,難提與諸釋氏俱詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我等諸釋氏集論議堂,作如是論議,有諸釋氏語我言:『難提!我等或時見如來,恭敬供養,或時不見,或時往見諸知識比丘,親近供養,或時不得……』」如是廣說,乃至「『如佛所教誡,當受奉行

現代漢語譯本:早晨教化,乃至到日暮,能使人精進,因為這個因緣,能得到百千萬歲一直喜悅快樂的心情,多住在禪定中,成就二果,或者斯陀含果、阿那含果,因為那個人先前已經證得須陀洹果。 釋迦族人對佛說:『太好了!世尊!我從今天起,在各個齋日應當修持齋戒,乃至八支齋戒,在神足月受持齋戒,隨自己的能力佈施,修各種功德。』 佛告訴釋迦族人:『太好了!瞿曇!這是真實重要的。』 佛說完這部經后,當時各位釋迦族人聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (一一二二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。 當時,有許多釋迦族人聚集在議事堂,進行這樣的討論。當時,有釋迦族人對釋迦族人難提說:『我有時能去拜見如來,恭敬供養,有時不能;有時能親近供養有學識的比丘,有時不能,又不知道有哪些有智慧的優婆塞,還有其他有智慧的優婆塞、優婆夷生病困苦,又該如何教化、教誡說法,現在應當一起去世尊那裡,請問這些道理,按照世尊的教導,應當接受奉行。』 當時,難提和各位釋迦族人一起去佛那裡,頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立,對佛說:『世尊!我們這些釋迦族人聚集在議事堂,進行這樣的討論,有釋迦族人對我說:『難提!我們有時能見到如來,恭敬供養,有時不能見到,有時能去拜見各位有學識的比丘,親近供養,有時不能……』如此廣泛地說,乃至『按照佛的教誡,應當接受奉行。』

English version: Teaching in the morning, even until dusk, can enable one to advance. Because of this cause, one can obtain a joyful and happy mind for hundreds of millions of years, dwell much in meditation, and achieve the second fruit, either the Sakadagami fruit or the Anagami fruit, because that person had previously attained the Srotapanna fruit. The Shakya clan said to the Buddha, 'Excellent! World Honored One! From today onwards, on all fast days, we should observe the fast, even the eight precepts, and during the month of miracles, observe the fast, give alms according to our ability, and cultivate various merits.' The Buddha told the Shakya clan, 'Excellent! Gautama! This is truly important.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Shakya clan members at that time, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid their respects, and departed. (1122) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu. At that time, many members of the Shakya clan gathered in the assembly hall and engaged in such discussions. At that time, a member of the Shakya clan said to Nandi of the Shakya clan, 'Sometimes I am able to go and see the Tathagata, respectfully make offerings, and sometimes I am not; sometimes I am able to draw near and make offerings to learned monks, and sometimes I am not. Furthermore, we do not know which wise Upasakas there are, or other wise Upasakas and Upasikas who are sick and suffering, and how to teach, admonish, and preach the Dharma. Now we should go together to the World Honored One, ask about these matters, and according to the Buddha's teachings, we should accept and practice them.' At that time, Nandi and the other members of the Shakya clan went to the Buddha, bowed their heads to his feet, retreated to one side, and said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! We members of the Shakya clan gathered in the assembly hall and engaged in such discussions. Some members of the Shakya clan said to me, 'Nandi! Sometimes we are able to see the Tathagata, respectfully make offerings, and sometimes we are not able to see him. Sometimes we are able to go and see the learned monks, draw near and make offerings, and sometimes we are not able to...』 Thus they spoke extensively, even to 『According to the Buddha's teachings, we should accept and practice them.』


。』我等今日請問世尊,若智慧優婆塞,有餘智慧優婆塞、優婆夷疾病困苦。云何教化、教誡說法?」

佛告難提:「若有智慧優婆塞,當詣余智慧優婆塞、優婆夷疾病困苦者所,以三種穌息處而教授之言:『仁者!汝當成就於佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈。』以是三種穌息處而教授已,當復問言:『汝顧戀父母不?』彼若有顧戀父母者,當教令舍,當語彼言:『汝顧戀父母得活者,可顧戀耳,既不由顧戀而得活,用顧戀為?』彼若言不顧戀父母者,當嘆善隨喜,當復問言:『汝于妻子、奴僕、錢財諸物有顧念不?』若言顧念,當教令舍,如舍顧戀父母法;若言不顧念,嘆善隨喜,當復問言:『汝於人間五欲顧念以不?』若言顧念,當爲說言:『人間五欲惡露不凈,敗壞臭處,不如天上勝妙五欲。』教令舍離人間五欲,教令志願天上五欲。若復彼言心已遠離人間五欲,先已顧念天勝妙欲,嘆善隨喜,復語彼言:『天上妙欲無常、苦、空、變壞之法,諸天上有身勝天五欲。』若言已舍顧念天欲,顧念有身勝欲,嘆善隨喜,當復教言:『有身之慾,亦復無常、變壞之法,有行滅、涅槃、出離之樂,汝當舍離有身顧念,樂於涅槃寂滅之樂為上、為勝。』彼聖弟子已能捨離有身顧念,樂涅槃者,嘆善隨喜

現代漢語譯本:'我等今日請問世尊,如果智慧優婆塞,遇到其他智慧優婆塞、優婆夷生病困苦,應該如何教化、教誡和說法呢?' 佛陀告訴難提:'如果有智慧的優婆塞,應當去探望其他生病困苦的智慧優婆塞或優婆夷,用三種安穩之處來教導他們,說:『仁者!你應該成就對佛陀不壞的凈信,對佛法和僧團不壞的凈信。』用這三種安穩之處教導之後,應當再問:『你是否還掛念父母?』如果他掛念父母,應當教導他放下,告訴他說:『你如果掛念父母就能活命,那就可以掛念,既然不是因為掛念就能活命,那又何必掛念呢?』如果他說不掛念父母,應當讚歎並隨喜,再問:『你對妻子、奴僕、錢財等事物是否還有掛念?』如果他說掛念,應當教導他放下,就像放下掛念父母一樣;如果他說不掛念,就讚歎並隨喜,再問:『你對人間五欲是否還有掛念?』如果他說掛念,應當為他說:『人間五欲是污穢不凈的,是敗壞腐臭的,不如天上殊勝美妙的五欲。』教導他舍離人間五欲,教導他嚮往天上的五欲。如果他回答說內心已經遠離人間五欲,先前已經嚮往天上殊勝的五欲,就讚歎並隨喜,再告訴他說:『天上的美妙五欲也是無常、苦、空、會變壞的,諸天之上還有更殊勝的五欲。』如果他說已經捨棄了對天欲的掛念,而掛念有身體的殊勝慾望,就讚歎並隨喜,再教導他說:『有身體的慾望,也是無常、會變壞的,有修行滅盡、涅槃、出離的快樂,你應該捨棄對有身體的掛念,以追求涅槃寂滅的快樂為至上、為殊勝。』如果這位聖弟子已經能夠捨棄對有身體的掛念,而樂於涅槃,就讚歎並隨喜。'

English version: 'We ask the World Honored One today, if a wise Upasaka encounters other wise Upasakas or Upasikas who are sick and suffering, how should they teach, admonish, and preach the Dharma?' The Buddha told Nandi: 'If there is a wise Upasaka, he should visit other wise Upasakas or Upasikas who are sick and suffering, and teach them with three places of refuge, saying: 『Good sir! You should achieve unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma, and unwavering faith in the Sangha.』 After teaching with these three places of refuge, he should then ask: 『Do you still have attachment to your parents?』 If he has attachment to his parents, he should be taught to let go, and told: 『If you could live by being attached to your parents, then you could be attached, but since you cannot live by being attached, why be attached?』 If he says he has no attachment to his parents, he should be praised and rejoiced with, and then asked: 『Do you still have attachment to your wife, servants, money, and other things?』 If he says he has attachment, he should be taught to let go, just like letting go of attachment to parents; if he says he has no attachment, he should be praised and rejoiced with, and then asked: 『Do you still have attachment to the five desires of the human realm?』 If he says he has attachment, he should be told: 『The five desires of the human realm are filthy and impure, they are decaying and foul, they are not as wonderful as the five desires of the heavens.』 He should be taught to abandon the five desires of the human realm, and taught to aspire to the five desires of the heavens. If he answers that his mind has already abandoned the five desires of the human realm, and has previously aspired to the wonderful five desires of the heavens, he should be praised and rejoiced with, and then told: 『The wonderful five desires of the heavens are also impermanent, suffering, empty, and subject to decay, and above the heavens there are even more wonderful five desires.』 If he says he has already abandoned attachment to the desires of the heavens, and is attached to the superior desires of having a body, he should be praised and rejoiced with, and then taught: 『The desires of having a body are also impermanent and subject to decay, there is the joy of the cessation of practice, Nirvana, and liberation, you should abandon attachment to having a body, and seek the joy of Nirvana and extinction as the highest and most superior.』 If this holy disciple has already been able to abandon attachment to having a body, and is joyful in Nirvana, he should be praised and rejoiced with.'


「如是,難提!彼聖弟子先後次第教誡、教授,令得不起、涅槃,猶如比丘百歲壽命,解脫涅槃。」

佛說此經已,釋氏難提等聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一二三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。

時,有釋氏名曰菩提,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「善哉!世尊!我等快得善利,得為世尊親屬。」

佛告菩提:「莫作是語:『我得善利,得與世尊親屬故然。』菩提!所謂善利者,于佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。是故,菩提!當作是學:『我當於佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就。』」

佛說此經已,釋氏菩提聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一二四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若聖弟子得於佛不壞凈成就。時,若彼諸天先得於佛不壞凈戒成就因緣往生者,皆大歡喜,嘆言:『我以得於佛不壞凈成就因緣故,來生於此善趣天上。彼聖弟子今得於佛不壞凈成就,以是因緣,亦當復來生此善趣天中。』於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就亦如是說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本: 『正是這樣,難提!那位聖弟子通過循序漸進的教誨和指導,最終達到不起煩惱、證得涅槃的境界,就像一位百歲比丘,最終解脫涅槃一樣。』 佛陀說完這部經后,釋迦族的難提等人聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。

(一一二三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。 當時,有一位名叫菩提的釋迦族人,來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊,真是太好了!我們真是獲得了極大的利益,能夠成為世尊的親屬。』 佛陀告訴菩提:『不要這樣說:「我獲得了極大的利益,是因為我與世尊是親屬。」菩提!真正的利益在於對佛陀有不壞的清凈信心,對佛法和僧團有不壞的清凈信心,並且成就聖戒。因此,菩提!你應當這樣學習:「我應當對佛陀有不壞的清凈信心,對佛法和僧團有不壞的清凈信心,並且成就聖戒。」』 佛陀說完這部經后,釋迦族的菩提聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。

(一一二四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果聖弟子能夠成就對佛陀不壞的清凈信心。那時,如果那些先前因為成就對佛陀不壞的清凈信心而往生到天上的諸天,都會非常歡喜,讚歎說:「我因為成就了對佛陀不壞的清凈信心,所以才得以投生到這善趣天界。這位聖弟子現在也成就了對佛陀不壞的清凈信心,以此因緣,也應當會再次投生到這善趣天界。」對於法和僧團的不壞清凈信心,以及成就聖戒,也應當這樣說。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。

English version: 'So it is, Nandī! That noble disciple, through successive teachings and instructions, attains the state of non-arising and Nirvana, just like a bhikkhu who lives for a hundred years and attains liberation and Nirvana.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Shakyas, Nandī and others, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and were pleased, paid their respects, and departed.

(1123) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu. Then, a Shakya named Bodhi came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Excellent, O Blessed One! We have indeed gained great benefit, having become relatives of the Blessed One.' The Buddha said to Bodhi: 'Do not speak thus: 「I have gained great benefit because I am a relative of the Blessed One.」 Bodhi! The true benefit lies in having unwavering pure faith in the Buddha, unwavering pure faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and in the accomplishment of the noble precepts. Therefore, Bodhi! You should train yourselves thus: 「I shall have unwavering pure faith in the Buddha, unwavering pure faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and accomplish the noble precepts.」' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Shakya Bodhi, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and was pleased, paid his respects, and departed.

(1124) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu. Then, the Blessed One said to the bhikkhus: 'If a noble disciple achieves unwavering pure faith in the Buddha. Then, if those devas who previously attained rebirth in the heavens due to having achieved unwavering pure faith in the Buddha, will greatly rejoice, exclaiming: 「Because I achieved unwavering pure faith in the Buddha, I was born in this good realm of the heavens. This noble disciple has now also achieved unwavering pure faith in the Buddha, and by this cause, he too shall be reborn in this good realm of the heavens.」 The same should be said regarding unwavering pure faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and the accomplishment of the noble precepts.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

English version (1125) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'There are four factors of the path to becoming a Stream-enterer: associating with good men, listening to the true Dharma, reflecting rightly within, and practicing the Dharma in accordance with the Dharma.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1126) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'There are four components of a Stream-enterer. What are the four?

They are: unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and the accomplishment of noble precepts. This is called someone who has accomplished the four qualities, and know that they are a Stream-enterer.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just as it was not spoken separately, so it is spoken separately: if a monk, nun, novice nun, male novice, female novice, lay man, or lay woman has accomplished these four qualities, know that they are a Stream-enterer. Each sutra is as described above. (1128) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'There are four fruits of a recluse.'

English version: What are the four? They are the Stream-enterer fruit, the Once-returner fruit, the Non-returner fruit, and the Arahant fruit. After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1129) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'There are four fruits of the ascetic life. What are the four? They are the Stream-enterer fruit, the Once-returner fruit, the Non-returner fruit, and the Arahant fruit. What is the Stream-enterer fruit? It is the severing of the three fetters; this is called the Stream-enterer fruit. What is the Once-returner fruit? It is the severing of the three fetters, with greed, hatred, and delusion weakened; this is called the Once-returner fruit. What is the Non-returner fruit? It is the severing of the five lower fetters; this is called the Non-returner fruit. What is the Arahant fruit? It is when greed is completely extinguished, hatred is completely extinguished, delusion is completely extinguished, and all defilements are completely extinguished; this is called the Arahant fruit.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1130) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'If in a certain place, a monk is walking in that place, and attains one of the four fruits of the ascetic life, that monk, for the rest of his life, will always remember that place.' After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Just like the place of walking, so too are the places of dwelling, sitting, and lying down, spoken of in the same way. In this way, for monks, nuns, female novices, male novices, female novices, laymen, and laywomen, each of the four sutras is as described above. (1131) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「如四食於四大,眾生安立,饒益攝受。何等為四?謂摶食、觸食、意思食、識食。如是四種,福德潤澤、善法潤澤,安樂食。何等為四?謂于佛不壞凈成就,福德潤澤、善法潤澤、安樂食;法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就,福德潤澤、善法潤澤、安樂食。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一三二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「于佛不壞凈成就,福德潤澤、善法潤澤、安樂食;於法不壞凈,于諸聞法可意愛念,聖戒成就,福德潤澤、善法潤澤、安樂食。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一三三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「于佛不壞凈成就者,福德潤澤、善法潤澤、安樂食;若法、若慳垢纏眾生所,心離慳垢眾多住,行解脫施,常施,樂於舍,等心行施,聖戒成就,福德潤澤、善法潤澤、安樂食。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一三四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如同四種食物對於四大元素,使眾生得以安立,饒益和攝受。哪四種呢?即是摶食、觸食、意思食和識食。這四種食物,是福德滋潤、善法滋潤、安樂的食物。哪四種呢?即是對佛陀有不壞的清凈信心,這是福德滋潤、善法滋潤、安樂的食物;對佛法、僧團有不壞的清凈信心,成就聖戒,這是福德滋潤、善法滋潤、安樂的食物。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一三二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上面所說。不同之處在於:『對佛陀有不壞的清凈信心,這是福德滋潤、善法滋潤、安樂的食物;對佛法有不壞的清凈信心,對於所聽聞的佛法心生喜愛和愛念,成就聖戒,這是福德滋潤、善法滋潤、安樂的食物。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一三三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上面所說。不同之處在於:『對佛陀有不壞的清凈信心,這是福德滋潤、善法滋潤、安樂的食物;如果對於佛法、對於被慳吝垢染的眾生,內心遠離慳吝垢染,安住于眾多佈施,行解脫施,常行佈施,樂於捨棄,以平等心行佈施,成就聖戒,這是福德滋潤、善法滋潤、安樂的食物。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一三四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Just as four kinds of food sustain, benefit, and support the four great elements, so it is with living beings. What are the four? They are coarse food, contact food, mental volition food, and consciousness food. These four kinds of food are nourishing with merit, nourishing with good dharma, and are food of happiness. What are the four? They are having unshakeable pure faith in the Buddha, which is nourishing with merit, nourishing with good dharma, and food of happiness; having unshakeable pure faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and accomplishing the noble precepts, which is nourishing with merit, nourishing with good dharma, and food of happiness.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(1132) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus... as said above. The difference is: 'Having unshakeable pure faith in the Buddha, which is nourishing with merit, nourishing with good dharma, and food of happiness; having unshakeable pure faith in the Dharma, with a mind that loves and cherishes the Dharma they have heard, and accomplishing the noble precepts, which is nourishing with merit, nourishing with good dharma, and food of happiness.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(1133) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus... as said above. The difference is: 'Having unshakeable pure faith in the Buddha, which is nourishing with merit, nourishing with good dharma, and food of happiness; if, regarding the Dharma and beings who are entangled by the defilement of stinginess, one's mind is free from the defilement of stinginess, dwelling in abundant giving, practicing liberating giving, giving constantly, delighting in giving, giving with an equal mind, and accomplishing the noble precepts, which is nourishing with merit, nourishing with good dharma, and food of happiness.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(1134) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘……如上說。差別者:「如是四種福德潤澤、善法潤澤、安樂食,彼聖弟子功德果報不可稱量,得爾所福、爾所果報;然彼多福墮大功德積聚數,如前五河譬經說,乃至說偈。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一三五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,有四十天子,極妙之色,夜過晨朝,來詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告諸天子:「善哉!善哉!諸天子!汝等成就於佛不壞凈,於法、僧不壞凈,聖戒成就?」

時,天子從座起,整衣服,稽首佛足,合掌白佛言:「世尊!我成就於佛不壞凈,緣此功德,身壞命終,今生天上。」

一天子白佛言:「世尊!我於法不壞凈成就,緣此功德,身壞命終,今生天上。」

一天子白佛言:「世尊!我于僧不壞凈成就,緣此功德,身壞命終,今生天上。」

一天子白佛言:「世尊!我于聖戒成就,緣此功德,身壞命終,今生天上。」

時,四十天子各于佛前自記說須陀洹果已,即沒不現

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘……如上面所說。不同之處在於:『像這樣四種福德滋潤、善法滋潤、安樂的食物,那位聖弟子的功德果報是不可估量的,能獲得如此多的福報、如此多的果報;然而,他們多福,屬於大功德積聚的行列,就像前面五條河流的比喻經文所說,乃至說到偈語。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一一三五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有四十位天子,容貌極其美妙,在夜晚過去、早晨到來時,來到佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。 當時,世尊告訴眾天子:『好啊!好啊!諸位天子!你們成就了對佛陀不壞的凈信,對法、僧不壞的凈信,以及成就了聖戒嗎?』 這時,天子們從座位上起身,整理衣服,頂禮佛足,合掌對佛陀說:『世尊!我成就了對佛陀不壞的凈信,因為這個功德,身壞命終后,現在生到天上。』 一位天子對佛陀說:『世尊!我成就了對法不壞的凈信,因為這個功德,身壞命終后,現在生到天上。』 一位天子對佛陀說:『世尊!我成就了對僧不壞的凈信,因為這個功德,身壞命終后,現在生到天上。』 一位天子對佛陀說:『世尊!我成就了聖戒,因為這個功德,身壞命終后,現在生到天上。』 當時,四十位天子各自在佛陀面前自述證得須陀洹果后,就消失不見了。

English version At that time, the World Honored One told the monks... as said above. The difference is: 'These four kinds of merit nourishment, good dharma nourishment, and peaceful food, the merit and reward of that noble disciple are immeasurable, obtaining so much merit and so much reward; however, they are very blessed and belong to the accumulation of great merit, as the simile of the five rivers in the previous sutra says, even to the saying of the verses.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1135) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there were forty devas, of extremely beautiful appearance, who, after the night had passed and morning had arrived, came to where the Buddha was, bowed their heads to his feet, and sat down to one side. At that time, the World Honored One said to the devas: 'Good! Good! Devas! Have you achieved unwavering faith in the Buddha, unwavering faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, and have you achieved the noble precepts?' Then, the devas rose from their seats, arranged their robes, bowed their heads to the Buddha's feet, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I have achieved unwavering faith in the Buddha, and because of this merit, after my body broke and my life ended, I am now born in the heavens.' One deva said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I have achieved unwavering faith in the Dharma, and because of this merit, after my body broke and my life ended, I am now born in the heavens.' One deva said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I have achieved unwavering faith in the Sangha, and because of this merit, after my body broke and my life ended, I am now born in the heavens.' One deva said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I have achieved the noble precepts, and because of this merit, after my body broke and my life ended, I am now born in the heavens.' At that time, the forty devas, each having declared before the Buddha that they had attained the fruit of Stream-entry, then disappeared.


如四十天子,如是四百天子、八百天子、十千天子、二十千天子、三十千天子、四十千天子、五十千天子、六十千天子、七十千天子、八十千天子,各于佛前自記說須陀洹果已,即沒不現。

(一一三六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當如月譬住,如新學,慚愧軟下,攝心斂形而入他家。如明目士夫臨深登峰,攝心斂形,難速前進。如是,比丘如月譬住,亦如新學,慚愧軟下,御心斂形而入他家。迦葉比丘如月譬住,亦如新學,慚愧軟下諸高慢,御心控形而入他家。如明目士夫臨深登峰,御心控形,正觀而進。」

佛告比丘:「于意云何?比丘為何等像類應入他家?」

諸比丘白佛言:「世尊是法根、法眼、法依,唯愿廣說!諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告諸比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。若有比丘於他家心不縛著貪樂,於他得利,他作功德,欣若在己,不生嫉想,亦不自舉,亦不下人。如是像類比丘應入他家。」

爾時,世尊以手捫摸虛空,告諸比丘:「我今此手,寧著空、縛空、染空不?」

比丘白佛:「不也,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「比丘之法常如是:不著、不縛、不染心而入他家

現代漢語譯本 如同四十位天子,如同四百位天子、八百位天子、一萬位天子、兩萬位天子、三萬位天子、四萬位天子、五萬位天子、六萬位天子、七萬位天子、八萬位天子,他們各自在佛前自述已證得須陀洹果,隨即消失不見。

(一一三六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在舍衛國的迦蘭陀竹園。

那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當像月亮一樣安住,像新學的人一樣,有慚愧心,謙虛柔順,收攝心念,約束形體而進入他人家中。如同明眼的男子站在深淵邊或登上高峰,收攝心念,約束形體,難以快速前進。同樣,比丘應當像月亮一樣安住,也像新學的人一樣,有慚愧心,謙虛柔順,控制心念,約束形體而進入他人家中。迦葉比丘像月亮一樣安住,也像新學的人一樣,有慚愧心,謙虛柔順,降伏各種高慢,控制心念,約束形體而進入他人家中。如同明眼的男子站在深淵邊或登上高峰,控制心念,約束形體,以正見而前進。』

佛告訴比丘們:『你們認為如何?比丘應當以何種心態進入他人家中?』

眾比丘對佛說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠,唯愿您廣為解說!眾比丘聽聞后,當會奉行。』

佛告訴眾比丘:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。如果有比丘對他人家不執著貪愛,對於他人獲得利益,他人所作的功德,感到欣喜如同自己獲得一樣,不生嫉妒之心,也不自我抬高,也不貶低他人。像這樣的比丘才應當進入他人家中。』

這時,世尊用手撫摸虛空,告訴眾比丘:『我這隻手,會執著于虛空、束縛虛空、污染虛空嗎?』

比丘們回答佛說:『不會的,世尊!』

佛告訴比丘們:『比丘的修行應當如此:不執著、不束縛、不以染污的心進入他人家中。』

English version Like forty devas, like four hundred devas, eight hundred devas, ten thousand devas, twenty thousand devas, thirty thousand devas, forty thousand devas, fifty thousand devas, sixty thousand devas, seventy thousand devas, eighty thousand devas, each having declared before the Buddha that they had attained the fruit of Srotapanna, immediately disappeared.

(1136)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Shravasti.

Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, 'You should dwell like the moon, like a new learner, with shame and humility, subduing your mind and controlling your form when entering another's house. Just as a man with clear eyes, standing at the edge of a deep abyss or climbing a peak, subdues his mind and controls his form, making slow progress. Likewise, monks, you should dwell like the moon, also like a new learner, with shame and humility, controlling your mind and form when entering another's house. Monk Kashyapa dwells like the moon, also like a new learner, with shame and humility, subduing all arrogance, controlling his mind and form when entering another's house. Just as a man with clear eyes, standing at the edge of a deep abyss or climbing a peak, controls his mind and form, advancing with right view.'

The Buddha asked the monks, 'What do you think? With what kind of attitude should a monk enter another's house?'

The monks replied to the Buddha, 'The Blessed One is the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, the refuge of the Dharma. We beseech you to explain it in detail! Having heard it, the monks will practice accordingly.'

The Buddha told the monks, 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you. If a monk does not cling to greed and desire in another's house, and rejoices in the benefits and merits others have gained as if they were his own, without jealousy, without self-exaltation, and without belittling others, such a monk should enter another's house.'

Then, the Blessed One touched the empty space with his hand and said to the monks, 'Does this hand of mine cling to space, bind space, or defile space?'

The monks replied to the Buddha, 'No, Blessed One!'

The Buddha told the monks, 'The practice of a monk should be like this: without clinging, without binding, and without entering another's house with a defiled mind.'


。唯迦葉比丘以不著、不縛、不染之心而入他家,於他得利及作功德,欣若在己,不生嫉想、不自舉、不下人,其唯迦葉比丘應入他家。」

爾時,世尊復以手捫摸虛空,告諸比丘:「于意云何?我今此手,寧著空、縛空、染空以不?」

諸比丘白佛言:「不也,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「其唯迦葉比丘心常如是,以不著、不縛、不染之心入於他家。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「何等像類比丘應清凈說法?」

諸比丘白佛:「世尊是法根、法眼、法依,唯愿廣說!諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。若有比丘作如是心為人說法:『何等人於我起凈信心,為本已當得供養衣被、飲食、臥具、湯藥。』如是說者,名不清凈說法。

「若複比丘為人說法,作如是念:『世尊顯現正法、律,離諸熾然,不待時節,即此現身,緣自覺知,正向涅槃,而諸眾生沉溺老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦,如此眾生聞正法者,以義饒益,長夜安樂。』以是正法因緣,以慈心、悲心、哀愍心、欲令正法久住心而為人說,是名清凈說法。唯迦葉比丘有如是清凈心為人說法,以如來正法、律,乃至令法久住心而為人說

現代漢語譯本:只有迦葉比丘以不執著、不束縛、不染污的心進入他人家中,對於他人獲得利益和行善積德,如同自己獲得一樣高興,不產生嫉妒的想法,不抬高自己,也不貶低他人,只有迦葉比丘才應該進入他人家中。 當時,世尊又用手觸控虛空,告訴眾比丘:『你們認為如何?我這隻手,會執著于虛空、束縛虛空、染污虛空嗎?』 眾比丘回答佛說:『不會的,世尊!』 佛告訴比丘們:『只有迦葉比丘的心常常像這樣,以不執著、不束縛、不染污的心進入他人家中。』 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『什麼樣的比丘應該清凈地說法呢?』 眾比丘回答佛說:『世尊是佛法的根本、佛法的眼睛、佛法的依靠,希望您能詳細解說!眾比丘聽了之後,應當遵照奉行。』 佛告訴比丘們:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。如果有比丘以這樣的心態為人說法:『什麼樣的人會對我產生清凈的信心,從而得到供養的衣物、飲食、臥具、湯藥。』像這樣說法的人,就叫做不清凈的說法。 『如果又有比丘為人說法,心中想著:『世尊顯現正法、戒律,遠離各種煩惱,不等待時機,當下就能體會,通過自身覺悟,直接趨向涅槃,而眾生卻沉溺於衰老、疾病、死亡、憂愁、悲傷、煩惱、痛苦之中,如果這些眾生聽聞正法,就能從中獲得利益,長久地得到安樂。』因為這種正法的因緣,以慈悲心、憐憫心、想要正法長久住世的心而為人說法,這叫做清凈的說法。只有迦葉比丘有這樣清凈的心為人說法,以如來的正法、戒律,乃至爲了讓佛法長久住世的心而為人說法。』

English version: Only the monk Kasyapa enters other people's homes with a mind that is unattached, unbound, and undefiled. He rejoices in the benefits and merits others gain as if they were his own, without jealousy, self-aggrandizement, or belittling others. Only the monk Kasyapa should enter other people's homes. At that time, the World Honored One again touched the void with his hand and told the monks, 'What do you think? Does this hand of mine attach to the void, bind the void, or defile the void?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'No, World Honored One!' The Buddha told the monks, 'The mind of the monk Kasyapa is always like this, entering other people's homes with a mind that is unattached, unbound, and undefiled.' At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'What kind of monk should preach the Dharma purely?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, and the reliance of the Dharma. We beseech you to explain it in detail! After hearing it, the monks should follow and practice it.' The Buddha told the monks, 'Listen carefully and contemplate well, and I will explain it to you. If a monk preaches the Dharma with this thought in mind: 'What kind of person will develop pure faith in me, so that I may receive offerings of clothing, food, bedding, and medicine?' Such a way of preaching is called impure preaching. 'If another monk preaches the Dharma with this thought in mind: 'The World Honored One has revealed the true Dharma and precepts, which are free from all defilements, not dependent on time, can be realized in this very life, through one's own awakening, and directly lead to Nirvana. Yet, sentient beings are drowning in old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, affliction, and suffering. If these sentient beings hear the true Dharma, they will benefit from it and attain lasting peace.' Because of this true Dharma, with a mind of loving-kindness, compassion, pity, and the desire for the true Dharma to endure, he preaches to others. This is called pure preaching. Only the monk Kasyapa has such a pure mind when preaching the Dharma, using the Tathagata's true Dharma and precepts, even with the intention of making the Dharma endure.'


。是故,諸比丘!當如是學、如是說法,于如來正法、律,乃至令法久住心為人說法。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一三七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若有比丘欲入他家,作如是念,彼當施我,莫令不施,頓施非漸施,多施非少施,勝施非陋施,速施非緩施。以如是心而至他家,若他不施,乃至緩施,是比丘心則屈辱。以是因緣,其心退沒,自生障閡。

「若複比丘欲入他家,作如是念:『出家之人卒至他家,何由得施非不施,頓施非漸施,多施非少施,勝施非陋施,速施非緩施?』作如是念而至他家。若彼不施,乃至緩施,是比丘心不屈辱,亦不退沒,不生障礙,唯迦葉比丘作如是念而入他家。是故,諸比丘!當如是學,作如是念而入他家,出家之人卒至他家,何由得施非不施,乃至速施非緩施?」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一三八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者摩訶迦葉住舍衛國東園鹿子母講堂。時,尊者摩訶迦葉晡時從禪覺,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面

現代漢語譯本:因此,諸位比丘!應當這樣學習、這樣說法,在如來的正法和戒律中,乃至爲了使佛法長久住世而為他人說法。 佛陀說完這部經后,諸位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一一三七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴諸位比丘:『如果有比丘想要進入別人家,心中想著,他們應當佈施給我,不要不佈施,要一次性佈施而不是逐漸佈施,要多佈施而不是少佈施,要佈施好的而不是差的,要快速佈施而不是緩慢佈施。』如果以這樣的心態去別人家,如果他們不佈施,乃至緩慢佈施,這位比丘的心就會感到屈辱。因為這個原因,他的心就會退縮,產生障礙。 『如果比丘想要進入別人家,心中想著:出家人突然來到別人家,怎麼能期望得到佈施或不佈施,一次性佈施或逐漸佈施,多佈施或少佈施,好的佈施或差的佈施,快速佈施或緩慢佈施呢?』如果以這樣的心態去別人家,如果他們不佈施,乃至緩慢佈施,這位比丘的心就不會感到屈辱,也不會退縮,不會產生障礙,只有迦葉比丘是這樣想的。因此,諸位比丘!應當這樣學習,這樣想著進入別人家,出家人突然來到別人家,怎麼能期望得到佈施或不佈施,乃至快速佈施或緩慢佈施呢?』 佛陀說完這部經后,諸位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一一三八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,尊者摩訶迦葉住在舍衛國東園的鹿子母講堂。當時,尊者摩訶迦葉在傍晚時分從禪定中醒來,前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,然後退坐在一旁。

English version: Therefore, O monks! You should learn thus, speak thus, in the Tathagata's Dharma and Discipline, even to speak to others so that the Dharma may long endure. Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. (1137) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'If a monk wishes to enter another's house, thinking thus: 'They should give to me, not fail to give, give all at once not gradually, give much not little, give superior not inferior, give quickly not slowly.' If with such a mind he goes to another's house, and if they do not give, or even give slowly, that monk's mind will be humiliated. Because of this, his mind will retreat, and he will create obstacles for himself. 'If a monk wishes to enter another's house, thinking thus: 'A renunciate suddenly arrives at another's house, how can one expect to receive or not receive, to receive all at once or gradually, to receive much or little, to receive superior or inferior, to receive quickly or slowly?' If with such a mind he goes to another's house, and if they do not give, or even give slowly, that monk's mind will not be humiliated, nor will it retreat, nor will it create obstacles. Only Kasyapa the monk thinks thus when entering another's house. Therefore, O monks! You should learn thus, thinking thus when entering another's house: 'A renunciate suddenly arrives at another's house, how can one expect to receive or not receive, even to receive quickly or slowly?' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in what the Buddha had said and practiced accordingly. (1138) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the venerable Mahakasyapa was dwelling in the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the East Park of Savatthi. At that time, the venerable Mahakasyapa, having arisen from meditation in the late afternoon, went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at his feet, and sat down to one side.


爾時,世尊告尊者摩訶迦葉:「汝當爲諸比丘說法教誡、教授。所以者何?我常為諸比丘說法教誡、教授,汝亦應爾。」

尊者摩訶迦葉白佛言:「世尊!今世比丘難可教授,或有比丘不忍聞說。」

佛告摩訶迦葉:「汝何因緣作如是說?」

摩訶迦葉白佛言:「世尊!我見有兩比丘,一名槃稠,是阿難弟子;二名阿浮毗,是摩訶目揵連弟子。彼二人共諍多聞,各言:『汝來當共論議,誰所知多?誰所知勝?』」

時,尊者阿難住于佛后,以扇扇佛,語尊者摩訶迦葉言:「且止!尊者摩訶迦葉!且忍!尊者迦葉!此年少比丘少智、惡智。」

尊者摩訶迦葉語尊者阿難言:「汝且默然!莫令我于僧中問汝事。」

時,尊者阿難即默然住。

爾時,世尊告一比丘:「汝往至彼槃禂比丘、阿浮毗比丘所,作是言:『大師語汝。』」時,彼比丘即受教,至槃禂比丘、阿浮毗比丘所,作是言:「大師語汝。」

時,槃禂比丘、阿浮毗比丘答言奉教,即俱往佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面。

爾時,世尊告二比丘:「汝等二人,實共諍論,各言:『汝來試共論議,誰多誰勝』耶?」

二比丘白佛言:「實爾

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴尊者摩訶迦葉:『你應該為眾比丘說法教誡、教授。為什麼呢?我經常為眾比丘說法教誡、教授,你也應該這樣做。』 尊者摩訶迦葉對佛說:『世尊!現在的比丘很難教導,或許有些比丘不能忍受聽人教誨。』 佛告訴摩訶迦葉:『你為什麼這樣說呢?』 摩訶迦葉對佛說:『世尊!我看到有兩個比丘,一個叫槃稠,是阿難的弟子;另一個叫阿浮毗,是摩訶目犍連的弟子。他們兩人爭論誰的見聞廣博,各自說:『你來和我辯論,看誰知道得多?誰知道得更勝一籌?』 當時,尊者阿難站在佛的後面,用扇子為佛扇風,對尊者摩訶迦葉說:『請住口!尊者摩訶迦葉!請忍耐!尊者迦葉!這些年輕的比丘少智、愚笨。』 尊者摩訶迦葉對尊者阿難說:『你先閉嘴!不要讓我在僧眾中問你事情。』 當時,尊者阿難就默然不語。 當時,世尊告訴一位比丘:『你到槃禂比丘和阿浮毗比丘那裡,告訴他們:『大師有話對你們說。』』當時,那位比丘接受了教誨,到了槃禂比丘和阿浮毗比丘那裡,告訴他們:『大師有話對你們說。』 當時,槃禂比丘和阿浮毗比丘回答說遵從教誨,就一起到佛那裡,頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立。 當時,世尊告訴兩位比丘:『你們兩人,真的互相爭論,各自說:『你來試試和我辯論,看誰多誰勝』嗎?』 兩位比丘對佛說:『確實如此。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One said to the Venerable Mahakasyapa: 'You should preach, instruct, and teach the bhikkhus. Why is that? I often preach, instruct, and teach the bhikkhus, and you should do the same.' The Venerable Mahakasyapa said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! The bhikkhus of this age are difficult to teach, and some bhikkhus may not be able to bear to hear instruction.' The Buddha said to Mahakasyapa: 'Why do you say such things?' Mahakasyapa said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I saw two bhikkhus, one named Pandu, who is a disciple of Ananda; and the other named Aphuvip, who is a disciple of Mahamoggallana. The two of them were arguing about who had more knowledge, each saying: 'Come and debate with me, who knows more? Who knows better?' At that time, the Venerable Ananda was standing behind the Buddha, fanning the Buddha with a fan, and said to the Venerable Mahakasyapa: 'Stop! Venerable Mahakasyapa! Please be patient! Venerable Kasyapa! These young bhikkhus are of little wisdom and foolish.' The Venerable Mahakasyapa said to the Venerable Ananda: 'You be silent! Do not let me ask you questions in the Sangha.' At that time, the Venerable Ananda remained silent. At that time, the World Honored One said to a bhikkhu: 'Go to the bhikkhus Pandu and Aphuvip, and tell them: 'The Master has something to say to you.'' At that time, that bhikkhu accepted the instruction and went to the bhikkhus Pandu and Aphuvip, and told them: 'The Master has something to say to you.' At that time, the bhikkhus Pandu and Aphuvip replied that they would follow the instruction, and together they went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and stood aside. At that time, the World Honored One said to the two bhikkhus: 'You two, did you really argue with each other, each saying: 'Come and try to debate with me, who is more and who is better?' The two bhikkhus said to the Buddha: 'It is true.'


。世尊!」

佛告二比丘:「汝等持我所說修多羅、祇夜、受記、伽陀、優陀那、尼陀那、阿波陀那、伊帝目多伽、阇多伽、毗富羅、阿浮多達摩、優波提舍等法,而共諍論,各言:『汝來試共論議,誰多誰勝』耶?」

二比丘白佛:「不也,世尊!」

佛告二比丘:「汝等不以我所說修多羅,乃至優波提舍,而自調伏,自止息,自求涅槃耶?」

二比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告二比丘:「汝知我所說修多羅,乃至優波提舍,汝愚癡人應共諍論,誰多誰勝耶?」

時,二比丘前禮佛足,重白佛言:「悔過!世尊!悔過!善逝!我愚我癡,不善不辯,而共諍論。」

佛告二比丘:「實知罪悔過,愚癡,不善不辯,而共諍論。今已自知罪,自見罪,知見悔過,于未來世律儀戒生。我今受汝,憐愍故,令汝善法增長,終不退減。所以者何?若有自知罪,自見罪,知見悔過,于未來世律儀戒生,終不退減。」

時,二比丘聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一三九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者摩訶迦葉住舍衛國東園鹿子母講堂,晡時從禪覺,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退坐一面

『世尊!』 佛陀告訴兩位比丘:『你們拿著我所說的修多羅、祇夜、受記、伽陀、優陀那、尼陀那、阿波陀那、伊帝目多伽、阇多伽、毗富羅、阿浮多達摩、優波提舍等法,卻互相爭論,各自說:『你來試試和我辯論,看誰多誰厲害』嗎?』 兩位比丘回答佛陀:『不是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴兩位比丘:『你們不應該用我所說的修多羅,乃至優波提舍,來調伏自己,止息煩惱,自己尋求涅槃嗎?』 兩位比丘回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴兩位比丘:『你們知道我所說的修多羅,乃至優波提舍,你們這些愚癡的人應該互相爭論,看誰多誰厲害嗎?』 當時,兩位比丘走到佛陀面前,頂禮佛足,再次對佛陀說:『懺悔!世尊!懺悔!善逝!我們愚蠢無知,不善於分辨,竟然互相爭論。』 佛陀告訴兩位比丘:『確實知道自己有罪並懺悔,愚蠢無知,不善於分辨,竟然互相爭論。現在已經自己知道罪過,自己看到罪過,知道並看到懺悔,在未來世會遵守戒律。我現在接受你們的懺悔,因為憐憫你們,讓你們的善法增長,永遠不會退減。為什麼呢?如果有人自己知道罪過,自己看到罪過,知道並看到懺悔,在未來世會遵守戒律,永遠不會退減。』 當時,兩位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離開了。 (一一三九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者摩訶迦葉住在舍衛國東園鹿子母講堂,傍晚時分從禪定中醒來,前往世尊所在的地方,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。

'Venerable One!' The Buddha said to the two monks, 'Do you, holding onto the Sutras, Geyas, Vyakaranas, Gathas, Udānas, Nidānas, Avadānas, Itivuttakas, Jātakas, Vaipulyas, Adbhuta-dharmas, Upadeśas, and other teachings I have spoken, argue with each other, each saying, 『Come, let us debate, who has more, who is superior』?' The two monks replied to the Buddha, 'No, Venerable One!' The Buddha said to the two monks, 'Should you not, through the Sutras and Upadeśas I have spoken, tame yourselves, cease your afflictions, and seek Nirvana yourselves?' The two monks replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable One!' The Buddha said to the two monks, 'Knowing the Sutras and Upadeśas I have spoken, should you foolish people argue with each other, who has more, who is superior?' Then, the two monks approached the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and said again to the Buddha, 'We repent! Venerable One! We repent! O Sugata! We are foolish and ignorant, not good at discerning, and yet we argued with each other.' The Buddha said to the two monks, 'Indeed, knowing your sins and repenting, being foolish and ignorant, not good at discerning, and yet arguing with each other. Now you have already known your sins, seen your sins, known and seen your repentance, and in the future you will live by the precepts. I now accept your repentance, because I pity you, so that your good deeds will increase and never decrease. Why is that? If someone knows their sins, sees their sins, knows and sees their repentance, in the future they will live by the precepts, and will never decrease.' Then, the two monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and were pleased, bowed and departed. (1139) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the Venerable Mahakasyapa was dwelling in the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the Eastern Park of Shravasti. In the late afternoon, having awakened from meditation, he went to where the World Honored One was, bowed his head at his feet, and sat down to one side.


佛告迦葉:「汝當教授、教誡諸比丘!為諸比丘說法教誡、教授。所以者何?我常為諸比丘說法教誡、教授,汝亦應爾。」

尊者摩訶迦葉白佛言:「世尊!今諸比丘難可為說法,若說法者,當有比丘不忍、不喜。」

佛告迦葉:「汝見何等因緣而作是說?」

摩訶迦葉白佛言:「世尊!若有比丘于諸善法無信敬心,若聞說法,彼則退沒。若惡智人于諸善法無精進、慚愧、智慧,聞說法者,彼則退沒,若人貪慾、瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑惑,身行慠暴,忿恨失念,不定無智,聞說法者,彼則退沒。世尊!如是比諸惡人者,尚不能令心住善法,況復增進!當知是輩,隨其日夜,善法退減,不能增長。

「世尊!若有士夫于諸善法信心清凈,是則不退;于諸善法精進、慚愧、智慧,是則不退,不貪,不恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑惑,是則不退;身不弊暴,心不染污,不忿,不恨,定心正念智慧,是則不退。如是人者,于諸善法日夜增長,況復心住,此人日夜常求勝進,終不退減。」

佛告迦葉:「如是,如是。于諸善法無信心者,是則退減……」亦如迦葉次第廣說。

時,尊者摩訶迦葉聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起,作禮而去

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴迦葉:『你應該教導、告誡眾比丘!為眾比丘說法教誡、教導。為什麼呢?我常常為眾比丘說法教誡、教導,你也應該這樣做。』 尊者摩訶迦葉對佛陀說:『世尊!現在的比丘很難為他們說法,如果說法,會有比丘不能忍受、不歡喜。』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『你看到什麼因緣而這樣說?』 摩訶迦葉對佛陀說:『世尊!如果有比丘對各種善法沒有信心和敬畏之心,如果聽到說法,他們就會退步。如果愚笨的人對各種善法沒有精進、慚愧、智慧,聽到說法,他們就會退步。如果有人貪慾、嗔恚、昏睡、掉舉、後悔、疑惑,行為粗暴,憤怒怨恨,失念,心不定,沒有智慧,聽到說法,他們就會退步。世尊!像這些惡人,尚且不能使心安住于善法,更何況是增進呢!應當知道這些人,隨著日夜的流逝,善法會退減,不能增長。』 『世尊!如果有士夫對各種善法有清凈的信心,就不會退步;對各種善法有精進、慚愧、智慧,就不會退步;不貪婪,不嗔恚,不昏睡,不掉舉,不後悔,不疑惑,就不會退步;行為不粗暴,心不被污染,不憤怒,不怨恨,心定正念有智慧,就不會退步。這樣的人,對於各種善法日夜增長,更何況是心安住呢!這樣的人日夜都在追求進步,終究不會退減。』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『是這樣的,是這樣的。對於各種善法沒有信心的人,就會退減……』也像迦葉所說的那樣次第廣泛地闡述。 當時,尊者摩訶迦葉聽到佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位上起身,向佛陀作禮后離去。

English version The Buddha said to Kasyapa, 'You should instruct and admonish the monks! Teach and admonish the monks with the Dharma. Why is that? I often teach and admonish the monks with the Dharma, and you should do the same.' Venerable Mahakasyapa said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! It is difficult to preach the Dharma to the monks nowadays. If one preaches, there will be monks who cannot endure it and are not pleased.' The Buddha said to Kasyapa, 'What reasons do you see that make you say this?' Mahakasyapa said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! If there are monks who have no faith and reverence for the various good dharmas, if they hear the Dharma, they will regress. If foolish people have no diligence, shame, or wisdom in the various good dharmas, if they hear the Dharma, they will regress. If people are greedy, angry, sleepy, restless, regretful, doubtful, act violently, are resentful, lose mindfulness, are unstable, and lack wisdom, if they hear the Dharma, they will regress. World Honored One! Such evil people cannot even keep their minds in good dharmas, let alone improve! It should be known that these people, as the days and nights pass, their good dharmas will diminish and not grow.' 'World Honored One! If there are individuals who have pure faith in the various good dharmas, they will not regress; if they have diligence, shame, and wisdom in the various good dharmas, they will not regress; if they are not greedy, not angry, not sleepy, not restless, not regretful, not doubtful, they will not regress; if their actions are not violent, their minds are not defiled, they are not angry, not resentful, their minds are stable, mindful, and wise, they will not regress. Such people, in the various good dharmas, grow day and night, let alone their minds being stable! Such people seek progress day and night and will never regress.' The Buddha said to Kasyapa, 'It is so, it is so. Those who have no faith in the various good dharmas will regress...' and also, like Kasyapa, he explained it in detail. At that time, Venerable Mahakasyapa, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, and departed.


(一一四〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者摩訶迦葉住舍衛國東園鹿子母講堂,晡時從禪覺,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告摩訶迦葉:「汝當爲諸比丘說法教誡、教授。所以者何?我常為諸比丘說法教誡、教授,汝亦應爾。」

尊者摩訶迦葉白佛言:「世尊!今諸比丘難可為說法教誡、教授,有諸比丘聞所說法,不忍、不喜。」

佛告摩訶迦葉:「汝何因緣作如是說?」

摩訶迦葉白佛言:「世尊是法根、法眼、法依,唯愿世尊為諸比丘說法,諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告迦葉:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。」

佛告迦葉:「昔日,阿練若比丘于阿練若比丘所,嘆說阿練若法,于乞食比丘所,嘆說乞食功德;于糞掃衣比丘所,嘆說糞掃衣功德。若少欲知足,修行遠離,精勤方便,正念正定,智慧漏盡,身作證比丘所,隨其所行,讚歎稱說。迦葉!若於阿練若所,嘆說阿練若法,乃至漏盡比丘所,嘆說漏盡身作證。若見其人,悉共語言,隨宜慰勞善來者:『汝名何等?為誰弟子?』讓座令坐,嘆其賢善,如其法像類,有沙門義、有沙門欲

現代漢語譯本: (一一四〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者摩訶迦葉住在舍衛國東園的鹿子母講堂,傍晚時分從禪定中醒來,來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁坐下。 這時,世尊告訴摩訶迦葉:『你應該為眾比丘說法教誡、教授。為什麼呢?我常常為眾比丘說法教誡、教授,你也應該這樣做。』 尊者摩訶迦葉對佛陀說:『世尊!現在的比丘很難為他們說法教誡、教授,有些比丘聽了所說的法,不能忍受,也不歡喜。』 佛陀告訴摩訶迦葉:『你因為什麼原因說這樣的話?』 摩訶迦葉對佛陀說:『世尊是法的根本、法的眼睛、法的依靠,只希望世尊為眾比丘說法,眾比丘聽了之後,應當接受奉行。』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你解說。』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『從前,住在阿蘭若的比丘在其他住在阿蘭若的比丘那裡,讚歎阿蘭若的修行方法;在乞食的比丘那裡,讚歎乞食的功德;在穿糞掃衣的比丘那裡,讚歎穿糞掃衣的功德。如果遇到少欲知足、修行遠離、精勤方便、正念正定、智慧漏盡、以身作證的比丘,就隨他們所修行的,讚歎稱說。迦葉!如果在阿蘭若的比丘那裡,讚歎阿蘭若的修行方法,乃至在漏盡的比丘那裡,讚歎漏盡的修行。如果見到這樣的人,都和他們交談,根據情況慰問他們,說:『你叫什麼名字?是哪位老師的弟子?』讓座請他們坐下,讚歎他們的賢善,如果他們的法相符合沙門的形象,有沙門的意願、有沙門的修行。』

English version: (1140) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, the Venerable Mahakasyapa was dwelling in the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the East Park of Sravasti. In the late afternoon, having arisen from meditation, he went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. Then, the World-Honored One said to Mahakasyapa, 'You should teach, admonish, and instruct the monks. Why is that? I often teach, admonish, and instruct the monks, and you should do the same.' The Venerable Mahakasyapa said to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One! It is difficult to teach, admonish, and instruct the monks nowadays. Some monks, upon hearing the teachings, are neither patient nor pleased.' The Buddha said to Mahakasyapa, 'For what reason do you say such things?' Mahakasyapa said to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One, you are the root of the Dharma, the eye of the Dharma, and the reliance of the Dharma. I only wish that the World-Honored One would teach the Dharma to the monks, and that the monks, having heard it, would accept and practice it.' The Buddha said to Kasyapa, 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain it to you.' The Buddha said to Kasyapa, 'In the past, a monk dwelling in the wilderness would praise the practice of the wilderness to other monks dwelling in the wilderness; to monks who begged for alms, he would praise the merit of begging for alms; to monks who wore rag robes, he would praise the merit of wearing rag robes. If he encountered a monk who was content with little, practiced detachment, was diligent and skillful, had right mindfulness and right concentration, had exhausted his defilements through wisdom, and had realized the truth through his own body, he would praise and commend him according to his practice. Kasyapa! If, in the presence of a monk dwelling in the wilderness, he praised the practice of the wilderness, and so on, up to the monk who had exhausted his defilements, he would praise the realization of the truth through his own body. If he saw such a person, he would speak with him, comfort him as appropriate, and say, 'What is your name? Who is your teacher?' He would offer him a seat, praise his virtue, and if his appearance was in accordance with the image of a monk, and he had the intention and practice of a monk.'


。如是讚歎時,若彼同住同遊者,則便決定隨順彼行,不久亦當同其所見,同其所欲。」

佛告迦葉:「若是年少比丘見彼阿練若比丘來讚歎阿練若法,乃至漏盡身作證,彼年少比丘應起出迎,恭敬禮拜問訊,乃至彼同住者,不久當得自義饒益。如是恭敬者,長夜當得安樂饒益。」

佛告迦葉:「今日比丘見彼來者,知見大德,能感財利、衣被、飲食、床臥、湯藥者,與共言語,恭敬問訊,嘆言善來:『何某名字?為誰弟子?』嘆其福德,能感大利、衣被、飲食、臥具、湯藥。若與尊者相習近者,亦當豐足衣被、飲食、臥具、湯藥。若復年少比丘見彼來者,大智大德,能感財利、衣被、飲食、臥具、湯藥者,疾起出迎,恭敬問訊,嘆言善來大智大德,能感大利、衣被、飲食、臥具、湯藥。迦葉!如是年少比丘,長夜當得非義不饒益苦。

「如是,迦葉!斯等比丘為沙門患,為梵行溺,為大映障、惡不善法、煩惱之患,重受諸有,熾燃生死,未來苦報,生、老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱。是故,迦葉!當如是學:『為阿練若,于阿練若所,稱譽讚歎糞掃衣、乞食,少欲知足,修行遠離,精勤方便,正念正定,正智漏盡,身作證者,稱譽讚歎。』當如是學

現代漢語譯本:如果有人這樣讚歎,那麼和他一起居住、一起遊玩的人,就會決定跟隨他的行為,不久也會和他有相同的見解,相同的慾望。 佛陀告訴迦葉:『如果年輕的比丘看到那些在寂靜處修行的比丘來讚歎寂靜處的修行方法,乃至達到漏盡、親身證悟的境界,那麼年輕的比丘應該起身迎接,恭敬地禮拜問候,甚至和他們同住,不久就能獲得自身的利益。這樣恭敬的人,長久以來將會獲得安樂和利益。』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『現在,比丘們看到那些來的人,知道他們是具有大德行的人,能夠獲得財富、衣服、飲食、床鋪、湯藥等供養,就和他們交談,恭敬地問候,讚歎說:『您好!您叫什麼名字?是哪位老師的弟子?』讚歎他們的福德,能夠獲得大利益、衣服、飲食、臥具、湯藥。如果和這些尊者親近,也會豐衣足食,獲得衣服、飲食、臥具、湯藥。如果年輕的比丘看到那些來的人,具有大智慧、大德行,能夠獲得財富、衣服、飲食、臥具、湯藥等供養,就趕緊起身迎接,恭敬地問候,讚歎說:『您好!您真是大智大德,能夠獲得大利益、衣服、飲食、臥具、湯藥。』迦葉!這樣的年輕比丘,長久以來將會獲得不義和沒有利益的痛苦。 『迦葉!像這樣的比丘是沙門的禍患,是梵行的沉溺,是巨大的障礙,是惡不善法、煩惱的禍患,他們會再次承受各種存在,熾熱地燃燒著生死,未來遭受痛苦的果報,經歷生、老、病、死、憂愁、悲傷、痛苦、煩惱。所以,迦葉!應當這樣學習:『對於那些在寂靜處修行,讚歎穿著糞掃衣、乞食,少欲知足,修行遠離,精勤方便,正念正定,正智漏盡,親身證悟的人,要稱讚和讚歎他們。』應當這樣學習。

English version: If someone praises in this way, those who live and travel with him will be determined to follow his actions, and soon they will have the same views and the same desires. The Buddha told Kasyapa, 'If a young bhikkhu sees those bhikkhus who practice in secluded places come to praise the practice of secluded places, even to the point of attaining the extinction of outflows and personally realizing the truth, then the young bhikkhu should rise to greet them, respectfully bow and inquire, and even live with them. Soon, they will gain their own benefit. Those who are respectful in this way will gain peace and benefit for a long time.' The Buddha told Kasyapa, 'Now, when bhikkhus see those who come, knowing that they are people of great virtue who can receive offerings of wealth, clothing, food, bedding, and medicine, they talk with them, respectfully inquire, and praise them, saying, 'Welcome! What is your name? Who is your teacher?' They praise their merit, which can bring great benefits, clothing, food, bedding, and medicine. If they associate with these venerable ones, they will also be well-provided with clothing, food, bedding, and medicine. If a young bhikkhu sees those who come, who have great wisdom and great virtue, and who can receive offerings of wealth, clothing, food, bedding, and medicine, they quickly rise to greet them, respectfully inquire, and praise them, saying, 'Welcome! You are truly of great wisdom and great virtue, able to receive great benefits, clothing, food, bedding, and medicine.' Kasyapa! Such young bhikkhus will suffer injustice and lack of benefit for a long time.' 'Kasyapa! Such bhikkhus are the bane of the samanas, the drowning of the holy life, a great obstacle, the bane of evil and unwholesome dharmas and afflictions. They will again endure various existences, burning fiercely in the cycle of birth and death, and in the future, they will suffer the consequences of pain, experiencing birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, pain, and distress. Therefore, Kasyapa! You should learn in this way: 'For those who practice in secluded places, who praise wearing rag robes, begging for food, having few desires and being content, practicing detachment, diligently striving, with right mindfulness and right concentration, with right wisdom, having extinguished the outflows, and having personally realized the truth, you should praise and extol them.' You should learn in this way.'


。」

佛說此經已,尊者摩訶迦葉聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一四一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者摩訶迦葉住舍衛國東園鹿子母講堂,晡時從禪覺,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告摩訶迦葉言:「汝今已老,年耆根熟,糞掃衣重,我衣輕好,汝今可住僧中,著居士壞色輕衣。」

迦葉白佛言:「世尊!我已長夜習阿練若,讚歎阿練若、糞掃衣、乞食。」

佛告迦葉:「汝觀幾種義,習阿練若,讚歎阿練若、糞掃衣、乞食,讚歎糞掃衣、乞食法?」

迦葉白佛言:「世尊!我觀二種義,現法得安樂住義,復為未來眾生,而作大明。未來世眾生當如是念:『過去上座六神通,出家日久,梵行純熟,為世尊所嘆,智慧梵行者之所奉事。彼于長夜習阿練若,讚歎阿練若、糞掃衣、乞食,讚歎糞掃衣、乞食法。諸有聞者,凈心隨喜,長夜皆得安樂饒益。』」

佛告迦葉:「善哉!善哉!迦葉!汝則長夜多所饒益,安樂眾生,哀愍世間,安樂天人。」

佛告迦葉:「若有毀呰頭陀法者,則毀於我;若有稱歎頭陀法者,則稱歎我。所以者何?頭陀法者,我所長夜稱譽讚歎

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者摩訶迦葉聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。

(一一四一)

我(阿難)是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,尊者摩訶迦葉住在舍衛國東園的鹿子母講堂,傍晚時分從禪定中醒來,前往世尊所在之處,頂禮佛足,然後退坐在一旁。

這時,世尊告訴摩訶迦葉說:『你現在已經年老,年紀大了,根器成熟,穿糞掃衣太重了,我的衣服輕便又好,你現在可以住在僧團中,穿居士那種壞色的輕便衣服。』

迦葉對佛陀說:『世尊!我長久以來習慣於住在阿練若(寂靜處),讚歎阿練若、糞掃衣、乞食。』

佛陀告訴迦葉:『你觀察到哪幾種意義,才習慣於住在阿練若,讚歎阿練若、糞掃衣、乞食,讚歎糞掃衣、乞食法呢?』

迦葉對佛陀說:『世尊!我觀察到兩種意義,一是現世能獲得安樂的住處,二是為未來的眾生,樹立一個榜樣。未來的眾生會這樣想:『過去的上座,具有六神通,出家日久,梵行純熟,為世尊所讚歎,是智慧梵行者所敬奉的人。他長久以來習慣於住在阿練若,讚歎阿練若、糞掃衣、乞食,讚歎糞掃衣、乞食法。凡是聽到這些的人,如果能以清凈心隨喜,長久以來都能獲得安樂和利益。』

佛陀告訴迦葉:『好啊!好啊!迦葉!你長久以來為眾生帶來許多利益,使眾生安樂,憐憫世間,使天人安樂。』

佛陀告訴迦葉:『如果有人譭謗頭陀行,那就是譭謗我;如果有人稱讚頭陀行,那就是稱讚我。為什麼呢?因為頭陀行,是我長久以來所稱讚和讚歎的。

English version Having finished speaking this sutra, the Venerable Mahakasyapa, hearing what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed and departed.

(1141)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.

At that time, the Venerable Mahakasyapa was dwelling in the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the Eastern Park of Sravasti. In the late afternoon, having arisen from meditation, he went to where the World Honored One was, bowed his head at his feet, and sat down to one side.

Then, the World Honored One said to Mahakasyapa, 'You are now old, your years are advanced, your faculties are mature, and the rag robes are heavy. My robes are light and good. You may now dwell in the Sangha, wearing the light, discolored robes of a householder.'

Kasyapa said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! I have long been accustomed to living in the wilderness, praising the wilderness, rag robes, and begging for food.'

The Buddha said to Kasyapa, 'Observing what kinds of benefits do you practice living in the wilderness, praise the wilderness, rag robes, and begging for food, and praise the practice of rag robes and begging for food?'

Kasyapa said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! I observe two kinds of benefits: one is to attain a peaceful dwelling in this present life, and the other is to be a great light for future beings. Future beings will think thus: 「The elder of the past, with six supernormal powers, having been ordained for a long time, with pure conduct, praised by the World Honored One, and revered by those of wisdom and pure conduct, he has long been accustomed to living in the wilderness, praising the wilderness, rag robes, and begging for food, and praising the practice of rag robes and begging for food. Those who hear this, with pure minds, will follow with joy, and for a long time will attain peace and benefit.」』

The Buddha said to Kasyapa, 'Excellent! Excellent! Kasyapa! You have for a long time brought much benefit, peace to beings, compassion for the world, and peace to gods and humans.'

The Buddha said to Kasyapa, 'If anyone reviles the ascetic practices, they revile me; if anyone praises the ascetic practices, they praise me. Why is that? Because the ascetic practices are what I have long praised and extolled.'


。是故,迦葉!阿練若者,當稱歎阿練若;糞掃衣、乞食者,當稱歎糞掃衣、乞食法。」

佛說此經已,摩訶迦葉聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一四二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者摩訶迦葉久住舍衛國阿練若床坐處,長鬚發,著弊納衣,來詣佛所。爾時,世尊、無數大眾圍繞說法。

時,諸比丘見摩訶迦葉從遠而來,見已,于尊者摩訶迦葉所起輕慢心,言:「此何等比丘?衣服粗陋,無有儀容而來,衣服佯佯而來。」

爾時,世尊知諸比丘心之所念,告摩訶迦葉:「善來!迦葉!於此半座,我今竟知誰先出家,汝耶?我耶?」

彼諸比丘心生恐怖,身毛皆豎,並相謂言:「奇哉!尊者!彼尊者摩訶迦葉,大德大力,大師弟子,請以半座。」

爾時,尊者摩訶迦葉合掌白佛言:「世尊!佛是我師,我是弟子。」

佛告迦葉:「如是!如是!我為大師,汝是弟子,汝今且坐,隨其所安。」

尊者摩訶迦葉稽首佛足,退坐一面

現代漢語譯本:所以,迦葉!修行于寂靜處的人,應當讚歎寂靜處;穿糞掃衣、乞食的人,應當讚歎穿糞掃衣、乞食的修行方式。 佛陀說完這部經后,摩訶迦葉聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (一一四二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者摩訶迦葉長期住在舍衛國寂靜處的床座上,留著長鬚發,穿著破舊的衲衣,來到佛陀所在的地方。當時,世尊被無數大眾圍繞著說法。 當時,眾比丘看見摩訶迦葉從遠處走來,看到后,對尊者摩訶迦葉產生了輕慢之心,說道:『這是什麼比丘?衣服粗陋,沒有威儀就來了,衣服破破爛爛地來了。』 當時,世尊知道眾比丘心中的想法,告訴摩訶迦葉:『善來!迦葉!請坐這半個座位,我現在才知道誰先出家,是你呢?還是我呢?』 那些比丘心中生起恐懼,汗毛都豎了起來,互相說道:『真是奇特啊!尊者!那位尊者摩訶迦葉,大德大力,是大師的弟子,竟然被請坐半個座位。』 當時,尊者摩訶迦葉合掌對佛陀說:『世尊!佛陀是我的老師,我是弟子。』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『是的!是的!我是老師,你是弟子,你現在先坐下,隨意安坐。』 尊者摩訶迦葉向佛陀的腳稽首,退到一旁坐下。

English version: Therefore, Kashyapa! Those who dwell in secluded places should praise secluded places; those who wear discarded rags and beg for food should praise the practice of wearing discarded rags and begging for food. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Mahakashyapa, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised it, then bowed and departed. (1142) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the venerable Mahakashyapa, who had long been dwelling in a secluded place in Shravasti, sitting on a bed, with long hair and beard, wearing tattered robes, came to where the Buddha was. At that time, the World Honored One was surrounded by a great multitude, teaching the Dharma. At that time, the monks, seeing Mahakashyapa coming from afar, upon seeing him, developed a contemptuous attitude towards the venerable Mahakashyapa, saying: 'What kind of monk is this? His clothes are coarse and shabby, he comes without dignity, his clothes are tattered as he comes.' At that time, the World Honored One, knowing the thoughts in the monks' minds, said to Mahakashyapa: 'Welcome, Kashyapa! Please sit on this half of the seat. Now I know who ordained first, was it you or was it I?' Those monks felt fear in their hearts, their hair stood on end, and they said to each other: 'How amazing! Venerable! That venerable Mahakashyapa, of great virtue and power, a disciple of the master, is being invited to sit on half of the seat.' At that time, the venerable Mahakashyapa, with his palms together, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! The Buddha is my teacher, and I am the disciple.' The Buddha said to Kashyapa: 'So it is! So it is! I am the teacher, and you are the disciple. Now, please sit down and be comfortable.' The venerable Mahakashyapa bowed at the Buddha's feet and withdrew to sit on one side.


爾時,世尊復欲警悟諸比丘,復以尊者摩訶迦葉同己所得殊勝廣大功德為現眾故,告諸比丘:「我離欲、惡不善法,有覺有觀,初禪具足住,若日、若夜、若日夜;摩訶迦葉亦復如我,離欲、惡不善法,乃至初禪具足住,若日、若夜、若日夜。我欲第二、第三、第四禪具足住,若日、若夜、若日夜,彼摩訶迦葉亦復如是。乃至第四禪具足住,若日、若夜、若日夜。我隨所欲,慈、悲、喜、舍,空入處、識入處、無所有入處、非想非非想入處,神通境界,天耳、他心智、宿命智、生死智、漏盡智具足住,若日、若夜、若日夜;彼迦葉比丘亦復如是。乃至漏盡智具足住,若日、若夜、若日夜。」

爾時,世尊于無量大眾中稱歎摩訶迦葉同己廣大勝妙功德已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一四三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。尊者摩訶迦葉、尊者阿難住耆阇崛山。

時,尊者阿難詣尊者摩訶迦葉所,語尊者摩訶迦葉言:「今可共出耆阇崛山,入王舍城乞食。」

尊者摩訶迦葉默然而許。

時,尊者摩訶迦葉、尊者阿難著衣持缽,入王舍城乞食。尊者阿難語尊者摩訶迦葉:「日時太早,可共暫過比丘尼精舍。」即便往過

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊爲了進一步警醒各位比丘,又爲了向大眾展示尊者摩訶迦葉與自己所證得的殊勝廣大功德相同,便告訴各位比丘:『我遠離了慾望、邪惡和不善的法,有覺有觀,圓滿安住于初禪,無論是白天、夜晚還是晝夜;摩訶迦葉也像我一樣,遠離了慾望、邪惡和不善的法,乃至圓滿安住于初禪,無論是白天、夜晚還是晝夜。我想要圓滿安住于第二禪、第三禪、第四禪,無論是白天、夜晚還是晝夜,那摩訶迦葉也像我一樣。乃至圓滿安住于第四禪,無論是白天、夜晚還是晝夜。我隨心所欲,安住于慈、悲、喜、舍,空無邊處、識無邊處、無所有處、非想非非想處,神通境界,天耳通、他心智、宿命智、生死智、漏盡智,無論是白天、夜晚還是晝夜;那迦葉比丘也像我一樣。乃至安住于漏盡智,無論是白天、夜晚還是晝夜。』 當時,世尊在無量大眾中稱讚摩訶迦葉與自己具有相同廣大殊勝的功德后,各位比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (一一四三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。尊者摩訶迦葉和尊者阿難住在耆阇崛山。 當時,尊者阿難前往尊者摩訶迦葉的住所,對尊者摩訶迦葉說:『現在我們可以一起離開耆阇崛山,到王舍城去乞食。』 尊者摩訶迦葉默然同意。 當時,尊者摩訶迦葉和尊者阿難穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入王舍城乞食。尊者阿難對尊者摩訶迦葉說:『現在時間還早,我們可以一起先去比丘尼精舍。』於是他們就前往了比丘尼精舍。

English version: At that time, the World Honored One, wishing to further awaken the bhikkhus and to demonstrate to the assembly that the Venerable Mahakasyapa had attained the same extraordinary and vast merits as himself, told the bhikkhus: 'I have abandoned desire, evil, and unwholesome dharmas, and with initial and sustained thought, I dwell in the perfection of the first dhyana, whether it be day, night, or day and night; Mahakasyapa also, like me, has abandoned desire, evil, and unwholesome dharmas, and dwells in the perfection of the first dhyana, whether it be day, night, or day and night. I wish to dwell in the perfection of the second, third, and fourth dhyanas, whether it be day, night, or day and night, and Mahakasyapa is also like me. He dwells in the perfection of the fourth dhyana, whether it be day, night, or day and night. As I wish, I dwell in loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, the sphere of infinite space, the sphere of infinite consciousness, the sphere of nothingness, the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception, the realms of supernormal powers, the divine ear, the knowledge of others' minds, the knowledge of past lives, the knowledge of the cycle of birth and death, and the knowledge of the extinction of outflows, whether it be day, night, or day and night; the bhikkhu Kasyapa is also like me. He dwells in the knowledge of the extinction of outflows, whether it be day, night, or day and night.' At that time, after the World Honored One had praised Mahakasyapa in the midst of the immeasurable assembly for having the same vast and extraordinary merits as himself, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced accordingly. (1143) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. The Venerable Mahakasyapa and the Venerable Ananda were dwelling on Mount Gijjhakuta. Then, the Venerable Ananda went to the Venerable Mahakasyapa and said to him, 'Now we can leave Mount Gijjhakuta together and go to Rajagriha to beg for alms.' The Venerable Mahakasyapa silently agreed. Then, the Venerable Mahakasyapa and the Venerable Ananda put on their robes, took their bowls, and entered Rajagriha to beg for alms. The Venerable Ananda said to the Venerable Mahakasyapa, 'It is still early, we can go to the bhikkhuni monastery together for a while.' So they went to the bhikkhuni monastery.


時,諸比丘尼遙見尊者摩訶迦葉、尊者阿難從遠而來,疾敷床座,請令就坐。時,諸比丘尼禮尊者摩訶迦葉、阿難足已,退坐一面。

尊者摩訶迦葉為諸比丘尼種種說法,示、教、照、喜。示、教、照、喜已,時偷罹難陀比丘尼不喜悅,說如是惡言:「云何?阿梨摩訶迦葉于阿梨阿難,鞞提訶牟尼前為比丘尼說法?譬如販針兒于針師家賣,阿梨摩訶迦葉亦復如是,于阿梨阿難,鞞提訶牟尼前為諸比丘尼說法。」

尊者摩訶迦葉聞偷罹難陀比丘尼心不喜悅,口說惡言。聞已,語尊者阿難:「汝看!是偷罹難陀比丘尼心不喜悅,口說惡言。云何?阿難!我是販針兒,汝是針師,于汝前賣耶?」

尊者阿難語尊者摩訶迦葉:「且止!當忍!此愚癡老嫗,智慧薄少,不曾修習故。」

「阿難!汝豈聞世尊、如來、應、等正覺所知見,于大眾中說月譬經,教誡、教授。比丘!當如月譬住,常如新學

現代漢語譯本 當時,眾比丘尼遠遠地看見尊者摩訶迦葉和尊者阿難從遠處走來,便趕緊鋪設床座,請他們就坐。眾比丘尼禮拜了尊者摩訶迦葉和阿難的腳后,退到一旁坐下。 尊者摩訶迦葉為眾比丘尼宣講各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、令其歡喜。開示、教導、啓發、令其歡喜后,當時偷罹難陀比丘尼卻不高興,說了這樣惡毒的話:『怎麼回事?阿梨摩訶迦葉竟然在阿梨阿難,鞞提訶牟尼面前為比丘尼說法?這就像賣針的人在針匠家裡賣針一樣,阿梨摩訶迦葉也是這樣,在阿梨阿難,鞞提訶牟尼面前為比丘尼說法。』 尊者摩訶迦葉聽到偷罹難陀比丘尼心中不悅,口出惡言。聽后,對尊者阿難說:『你看!這個偷罹難陀比丘尼心中不悅,口出惡言。怎麼回事?阿難!我是賣針的人,你是針匠,我在你面前賣針嗎?』 尊者阿難對尊者摩訶迦葉說:『算了!請忍耐一下!這個愚癡的老婦人,智慧淺薄,不曾修習佛法。』 『阿難!你難道沒聽世尊、如來、應供、正等正覺所知所見,在大眾中宣講月亮譬喻的經典,教誡、教授。比丘們!應當像月亮一樣安住,常常像新學一樣。』

English version At that time, the bhikkhunis, seeing Venerable Mahakasyapa and Venerable Ananda coming from afar, quickly prepared seats and invited them to sit. The bhikkhunis, having paid respects to the feet of Venerable Mahakasyapa and Ananda, withdrew and sat to one side. Venerable Mahakasyapa expounded various aspects of the Dharma to the bhikkhunis, instructing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening them. After instructing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening them, the bhikkhuni Thullananda was displeased and spoke these harsh words: 'How is it that Ariya Mahakasyapa is teaching the bhikkhunis in front of Ariya Ananda, the son of the Sakyan? It is like a needle seller selling needles in the house of a needle maker. Ariya Mahakasyapa is doing the same, teaching the bhikkhunis in front of Ariya Ananda, the son of the Sakyan.' Venerable Mahakasyapa, hearing that the bhikkhuni Thullananda was displeased and spoke harsh words, said to Venerable Ananda, 'Look! This bhikkhuni Thullananda is displeased and speaks harsh words. How is it, Ananda, that I am a needle seller and you are a needle maker, and I am selling needles in front of you?' Venerable Ananda said to Venerable Mahakasyapa, 'Stop! Please be patient! This foolish old woman has little wisdom and has not practiced the Dharma.' 'Ananda! Have you not heard what the World Honored One, the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, knows and sees, speaking in the assembly the sutra of the moon simile, admonishing and instructing? Bhikkhus! You should abide like the moon, always like a new learner.'


。如是廣說為說,阿難!如月譬住,常如新學耶?」

阿難答言:「不也,尊者摩訶迦葉!」

「阿難!汝聞世尊、如來、應、等正覺所知所見說言:『比丘!當如月譬住,常如新學,其唯摩訶迦葉比丘!』?」

阿難答言:「如是,尊者摩訶迦葉!」

「阿難!汝曾為世尊、如來、應、等正覺所知所見,于無量大眾中請汝來坐耶?又復世尊以同己廣大之德稱歎汝:『阿難離欲、惡不善法,乃至漏盡通。』稱歎?」

答言:「不也,尊者摩訶迦葉!」

「如是,阿難!世尊、如來、應、等正覺于無量大眾中,口自說言:『善來摩訶迦葉!請汝半座。』復于大眾中以同己廣大功德,離欲、惡不善法,乃至漏盡通,稱歎摩訶迦葉耶?」

阿難答言:「如是,尊者摩訶迦葉!」

時,摩訶迦葉于比丘尼眾中師子吼已。

(一一四四)

如是我聞:

一時,尊者摩訶迦葉、尊者阿難住王舍城耆阇崛山中,世尊涅槃未久。時,世饑饉,乞食難得。

時,尊者阿難與眾多年少比丘俱,不能善攝諸根,食不知量,不能初夜、后夜精勤禪思,樂著睡眠,常求世利。人間遊行至南天竺,有三十年少弟子舍戒還俗,余多童子

現代漢語譯本:如果詳細來說,阿難,就像月亮一樣保持,總是像新學的人一樣嗎? 阿難回答說:『不是的,尊者摩訶迦葉!』 『阿難,你聽世尊、如來、應供、正等覺所知所見說過:『比丘,應當像月亮一樣保持,總是像新學的人一樣,只有摩訶迦葉比丘是這樣!』嗎?』 阿難回答說:『是的,尊者摩訶迦葉!』 『阿難,你曾經被世尊、如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,在無量大眾中請你來坐嗎?又世尊用他自己廣大的功德稱讚你:『阿難離欲、惡不善法,乃至漏盡通。』這樣稱讚嗎?』 阿難回答說:『不是的,尊者摩訶迦葉!』 『是這樣的,阿難,世尊、如來、應供、正等覺在無量大眾中,親自口說:『善來摩訶迦葉!請你坐半座。』又在大眾中用他自己廣大的功德,離欲、惡不善法,乃至漏盡通,這樣稱讚摩訶迦葉嗎?』 阿難回答說:『是的,尊者摩訶迦葉!』 當時,摩訶迦葉在比丘尼眾中作獅子吼。 (一一四四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,尊者摩訶迦葉、尊者阿難住在王舍城耆阇崛山中,世尊涅槃不久。當時,世間饑荒,乞食很難得到。 當時,尊者阿難與眾多年輕比丘在一起,不能很好地攝持諸根,吃飯不知節制,不能在初夜、后夜精勤禪思,喜歡睡覺,常常追求世俗利益。人間**到了南天竺,有三十個年輕弟子舍戒還俗,其餘很多童子。

English version: 『If explained in detail, Ananda, is it like abiding like the moon, always like a new learner?』 Ananda replied: 『No, Venerable Mahakasyapa!』 『Ananda, have you heard the World Honored One, the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, knowing and seeing, say: 『Monks, you should abide like the moon, always like a new learner, only the monk Mahakasyapa is like this!』?』 Ananda replied: 『Yes, Venerable Mahakasyapa!』 『Ananda, have you ever been invited by the World Honored One, the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, knowing and seeing, to sit among the immeasurable assembly? And did the World Honored One praise you with his own vast merits: 『Ananda is free from desire, evil and unwholesome dharmas, even to the exhaustion of outflows.』 Did he praise you like this?』 Ananda replied: 『No, Venerable Mahakasyapa!』 『It is like this, Ananda, the World Honored One, the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, in the immeasurable assembly, personally said: 『Welcome Mahakasyapa! Please take half of my seat.』 And in the assembly, with his own vast merits, free from desire, evil and unwholesome dharmas, even to the exhaustion of outflows, did he praise Mahakasyapa like this?』 Ananda replied: 『Yes, Venerable Mahakasyapa!』 At that time, Mahakasyapa roared like a lion among the assembly of nuns. (1144) Thus have I heard: At one time, Venerable Mahakasyapa and Venerable Ananda were dwelling in Mount Gijjhakuta in Rajagaha, not long after the Nirvana of the World Honored One. At that time, there was a famine in the world, and it was difficult to obtain alms. At that time, Venerable Ananda, together with many young monks, could not properly control their senses, ate without moderation, could not diligently meditate in the early and late watches of the night, enjoyed sleeping, and often sought worldly benefits. The human realm **reached South India, and thirty young disciples abandoned their precepts and returned to lay life, and many other novices.


。時,尊者阿難於南山國土遊行,以少徒眾還王舍城。時,尊者阿難舉衣缽,洗足已,至尊者摩訶迦葉所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。

時,尊者摩訶迦葉問尊者阿難:「汝從何來?徒眾鮮少?」

阿難答言:「從南山國土人間遊行,年少比丘三十人舍戒還俗,徒眾損減,又今在者多是童子。」

尊者摩訶迦葉語阿難言:「有幾福利,如來、應、等正覺所知所見,聽三人已上制群食戒?」

阿難答言:「為二事故。何等為二?一者為貧小家,二者多諸惡人以為伴黨,相破壞故。莫令惡人于僧中住,而受眾名,映障大眾,別為二部,互相嫌諍。」

尊者迦葉語阿難言:「汝知此義,如何于饑饉時,與眾多年少弟子南山國土遊行,令三十人舍戒還俗,徒眾損減,餘者多是童子?如阿難!汝徒眾消滅,汝是童子,不知籌量。」

阿難答言:「云何?尊者摩訶迦葉!我以頭髮二色,猶言童子?」

尊者摩訶迦葉言:「汝于饑饉世,與諸年少弟子人間遊行,致令三十弟子舍戒還俗,其餘在者復是童子。徒眾消滅,不知籌量,而言宿士眾壞,阿難!眾極壞,阿難!汝是童子,不籌量故

現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者阿難從南山地區,帶著少數弟子返回王舍城。尊者阿難整理好衣缽,洗完腳后,來到尊者摩訶迦葉處,行禮叩拜,然後退坐在一旁。 尊者摩訶迦葉問尊者阿難:『你從哪裡來?為何弟子如此稀少?』 阿難回答說:『我從南山地區而來,那裡有三十位年輕比丘舍戒還俗,導致弟子減少,現在剩下的也多是年幼的沙彌。』 尊者摩訶迦葉對阿難說:『如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,制定三人以上共食的戒律,有何利益?』 阿難回答說:『有兩個原因。哪兩個呢?一是為貧困人家,二是防止惡人結黨,互相破壞。不讓惡人住在僧團中,冒充僧眾,遮蔽大眾,分裂成兩派,互相爭鬥。』 尊者迦葉對阿難說:『你既然知道這個道理,為何在饑荒時期,帶著眾多年輕弟子去南山地區,導致三十人舍戒還俗,弟子減少,剩下的又多是年幼的沙彌?阿難!你的弟子都散了,你真是個不經世事的孩子,不懂得衡量。』 阿難回答說:『怎麼?尊者摩訶迦葉!我頭髮都兩種顏色了,還說我是孩子?』 尊者摩訶迦葉說:『你在饑荒時期,帶著眾多年輕弟子去人間,導致三十位弟子舍戒還俗,剩下的又都是年幼的沙彌。弟子都散了,不懂得衡量,還說以前的僧團壞了。阿難!僧團已經很壞了,阿難!你真是個孩子,不懂得衡量。』

English version: At that time, Venerable Ananda, from the Southern Mountain region, returned to Rajagriha with a small group of disciples. Venerable Ananda, having arranged his robes and bowl and washed his feet, went to where Venerable Mahakasyapa was, bowed his head to his feet, and sat down to one side. Venerable Mahakasyapa asked Venerable Ananda, 'Where have you come from? Why are your disciples so few?' Ananda replied, 'I have come from the Southern Mountain region, where thirty young monks have disrobed and returned to lay life, causing a decrease in disciples, and those who remain are mostly young novices.' Venerable Mahakasyapa said to Ananda, 'What are the benefits, as known and seen by the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, for establishing the rule of communal eating for three or more monks?' Ananda replied, 'There are two reasons. What are the two? One is for poor families, and the other is to prevent evil people from forming factions and destroying each other. To prevent evil people from living in the Sangha, pretending to be monks, obscuring the masses, splitting into two factions, and fighting each other.' Venerable Kasyapa said to Ananda, 'Since you know this principle, why did you, during a famine, take many young disciples to the Southern Mountain region, causing thirty to disrobe and return to lay life, reducing the number of disciples, and those who remain are mostly young novices? Ananda! Your disciples have scattered, you are truly an inexperienced child, not knowing how to measure things.' Ananda replied, 'What? Venerable Mahakasyapa! My hair is already two colors, and you still call me a child?' Venerable Mahakasyapa said, 'During a famine, you took many young disciples to the human realm, causing thirty disciples to disrobe and return to lay life, and those who remain are all young novices. The disciples have scattered, you do not know how to measure things, and you say that the previous Sangha was bad. Ananda! The Sangha is already very bad, Ananda! You are truly a child, not knowing how to measure things.'


。」

時,低舍比丘尼聞尊者摩訶迦葉以童子責尊者阿難,毗提訶牟尼,聞已不歡喜,作是惡言:「云何?阿梨摩訶迦葉本外道聞,而已童子呵責阿梨阿難,毗提訶牟尼,令童子名流行?」

尊者摩訶迦葉以天耳聞低舍比丘尼心不歡喜,口出惡言。聞已,語尊者阿難:「汝看!是低舍比丘尼心不歡喜,口說惡語,言:『摩訶迦葉本聞外道,而責阿梨阿難,毗提訶牟尼,令童子名流行。』」

尊者阿難答言:「且止!尊者摩訶迦葉!忍之!尊者摩訶迦葉!此愚癡老嫗無自性智。」

尊者摩訶迦葉語阿難言:「我自出家,都不知有異師,唯如來、應、等正覺。我未出家時,常念生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱苦,知在家荒務,多諸煩惱,出家空閑,難可俗人處於非家,一向鮮潔,盡其形壽,純一滿凈,梵行清白。當剃鬚發,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道,以百千金貴價之衣,段段割截為僧伽梨,若世間阿羅漢者,闇從出家。我出家已,于王舍城那羅聚落中間多子塔所,遇值世尊正身端坐,相好奇特,諸根寂靜,第一息滅,猶如金山。

「我時見已,作是念:『此是我師!此是世尊!此是羅漢!此是等正覺!』我時一心合掌敬禮,白佛言:『是我大師!我是弟子

現代漢語譯本 當時,低舍比丘尼聽到尊者摩訶迦葉用童子的事責備尊者阿難,毗提訶牟尼,聽后不高興,說了惡毒的話:『怎麼?阿梨摩訶迦葉本來是外道出身,卻用童子的事呵責阿梨阿難,毗提訶牟尼,讓童子的名聲流傳開來?』 尊者摩訶迦葉用天耳聽到低舍比丘尼心中不高興,口出惡言。聽后,告訴尊者阿難:『你看!這低舍比丘尼心中不高興,口說惡語,說:『摩訶迦葉本來是外道出身,卻責備阿梨阿難,毗提訶牟尼,讓童子的名聲流傳開來。』 尊者阿難回答說:『算了!尊者摩訶迦葉!忍耐一下!尊者摩訶迦葉!這個愚癡的老婦人沒有自性智慧。』 尊者摩訶迦葉告訴阿難說:『我自從出家以來,都不知道有其他的老師,只有如來、應供、等正覺。我沒有出家的時候,常常想著生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱苦,知道在家俗務繁忙,有很多煩惱,出家清閑,難以讓俗人處於非家,一直保持純潔,直到生命結束,純一圓滿清凈,修行清白。應當剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信離開家庭,出家學道,用價值百千金的貴重衣服,一段段割開做成僧伽梨,如果世間有阿羅漢,也是這樣暗中出家。我出家后,在王舍城那羅聚落中間的多子塔那裡,遇到世尊正身端坐,相貌奇特,諸根寂靜,達到第一寂滅,猶如金山。 『我當時看到后,這樣想:『這是我的老師!這是世尊!這是羅漢!這是等正覺!』我當時一心合掌敬禮,對佛說:『您是我的大師!我是弟子!』

English version At that time, the bhikkhuni Low She, hearing that the Venerable Mahakasyapa had used the matter of the boy to rebuke the Venerable Ananda, the Videha Muni, was displeased and spoke these evil words: 'How is it that the Arhat Mahakasyapa, who was originally an outsider, rebukes the Arhat Ananda, the Videha Muni, with the matter of the boy, causing the boy's name to spread?' The Venerable Mahakasyapa, with his heavenly ear, heard that the bhikkhuni Low She was displeased in her heart and spoke evil words. Having heard this, he said to the Venerable Ananda: 'Look! This bhikkhuni Low She is displeased in her heart and speaks evil words, saying: 'Mahakasyapa, who was originally an outsider, rebukes the Arhat Ananda, the Videha Muni, causing the boy's name to spread.' The Venerable Ananda replied: 'Enough! Venerable Mahakasyapa! Be patient! Venerable Mahakasyapa! This foolish old woman has no wisdom of self-nature.' The Venerable Mahakasyapa said to Ananda: 'Since I left home, I have not known any other teacher, only the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One. Before I left home, I often thought about birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, and suffering, knowing that worldly affairs at home are busy and full of troubles, while leaving home is peaceful. It is difficult for lay people to live away from home, always maintaining purity, until the end of life, purely and completely clean, practicing pure conduct. One should shave their head and beard, wear the kasaya robe, with true faith leave home, and go forth to learn the Way, using precious clothes worth hundreds of thousands of gold, cutting them into pieces to make the sanghati. If there are Arhats in the world, they also leave home in secret. After I left home, in the middle of the Narala village in Rajagriha, at the Many Sons Stupa, I encountered the World Honored One sitting upright, with extraordinary features, his senses tranquil, having reached the first cessation, like a golden mountain.' 'When I saw him, I thought: 'This is my teacher! This is the World Honored One! This is an Arhat! This is the Perfectly Enlightened One!' At that time, I respectfully bowed with my palms together, and said to the Buddha: 'You are my master! I am your disciple!'


。』

「佛告我言:『如是,迦葉!我是汝師!汝是弟子。迦葉!汝今成就如是真實凈心所恭敬者。不知言知,不見言見,實非羅漢而言羅漢,非等正覺言等正覺者,應當自然身碎七分。迦葉!我今知故言知,見故言見,真阿羅漢言阿羅漢,真等正覺言等正覺。迦葉!我今有因緣故,為聲聞說法,非無因緣故。依,非無依;有神力,非無神力。是故,迦葉!若欲聞法,應如是學:「若欲聞法,以義饒益,當一其心,恭敬尊重,專心側聽,而作是念:『我當正觀五陰生滅,六觸入處集起、滅沒,於四念處正念樂住,修七覺分、八解脫身作證,常念其身,未嘗斷絕,離無慚愧,于大師所及大德梵行常住慚愧。』」如是應當學!』

「爾時,世尊為我說法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,從座起去。我亦隨去,向于住處。我以百千價直衣割截僧伽梨,四攝為座。爾時,世尊知我至心,處處下道,我即敷衣,以為坐具,請佛令坐。世尊即坐,以手摩衣,嘆言:『迦葉!此衣輕細,此衣柔軟。』我時白言:『如是。世尊!此衣輕細,此衣柔軟,唯愿世尊受我此衣!』佛告迦葉:『汝當受我糞掃衣,我當受汝僧伽梨。』佛即自手授我糞掃納衣,我即奉佛僧伽梨

現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴我:『是的,迦葉!我是你的老師!你是我的弟子。迦葉!你現在成就瞭如此真實清凈的心,所恭敬的人,如果不知說知,不見說見,實際上不是阿羅漢卻說自己是阿羅漢,不是等正覺卻說自己是等正覺,應當自然身碎七分。迦葉!我因為知道才說知道,因為看見才說看見,是真正的阿羅漢才說自己是阿羅漢,是真正的等正覺才說自己是等正覺。迦葉!我現在有因緣,才為聲聞說法,不是沒有因緣。有依據,不是沒有依據;有神通力,不是沒有神通力。所以,迦葉!如果想聽法,應當這樣學習:『如果想聽法,以義理饒益自己,應當專一其心,恭敬尊重,專心側耳傾聽,並且這樣想:『我應當正確觀察五蘊的生滅,六觸入處的集起和滅沒,在四念處中正念安住,修習七覺支、八解脫,以身體作證,常常憶念自己的身體,不曾斷絕,遠離無慚愧,對於大師和有德行的梵行者,常常保持慚愧。』應當這樣學習!』 當時,世尊為我說法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,從座位起身離去。我也跟隨而去,回到住處。我用價值百千的衣服割截成僧伽梨,四重摺疊作為座位。當時,世尊知道我心意真誠,處處下道,我便鋪開衣服,作為坐具,請佛陀坐下。世尊隨即坐下,用手撫摸衣服,讚歎說:『迦葉!這衣服輕薄細軟。』我當時稟告說:『是的,世尊!這衣服輕薄細軟,希望世尊接受我的這件衣服!』佛陀告訴迦葉:『你應當接受我的糞掃衣,我應當接受你的僧伽梨。』佛陀就親自把他的糞掃納衣給我,我立即把僧伽梨奉獻給佛陀。

English version: The Buddha said to me, 'Yes, Kasyapa! I am your teacher! You are my disciple. Kasyapa! You have now achieved such a true and pure mind, and those who are revered, if they say they know when they do not know, say they see when they do not see, are not actually Arhats but claim to be Arhats, are not fully enlightened but claim to be fully enlightened, they should naturally shatter into seven pieces. Kasyapa! I say I know because I know, I say I see because I see, I say I am a true Arhat because I am a true Arhat, I say I am truly fully enlightened because I am truly fully enlightened. Kasyapa! I now have a reason to preach the Dharma to the Sravakas, not without a reason. There is a basis, not without a basis; there is spiritual power, not without spiritual power. Therefore, Kasyapa! If you wish to hear the Dharma, you should learn like this: 『If you wish to hear the Dharma, to benefit yourself with its meaning, you should focus your mind, be respectful and reverent, listen attentively, and think like this: 『I should correctly observe the arising and ceasing of the five aggregates, the gathering and cessation of the six sense bases, abide in mindfulness in the four foundations of mindfulness, cultivate the seven factors of enlightenment, the eight liberations, and realize them with the body, constantly remember your body, never ceasing, be free from shamelessness, and always maintain shame before the master and the virtuous practitioners of the holy life.』 You should learn like this!』 At that time, the World Honored One preached the Dharma to me, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening; after showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening, he rose from his seat and left. I also followed him and returned to my dwelling. I cut a Sanghati robe worth a hundred thousand into four layers to make a seat. At that time, the World Honored One, knowing my sincere intention, descended from the path everywhere, and I spread out the robe as a seat, inviting the Buddha to sit down. The World Honored One then sat down, touched the robe with his hand, and praised, 『Kasyapa! This robe is light and soft.』 I then reported, 『Yes, World Honored One! This robe is light and soft, I wish the World Honored One would accept this robe of mine!』 The Buddha told Kasyapa, 『You should accept my rag robe, and I should accept your Sanghati robe.』 The Buddha then personally gave me his rag robe, and I immediately offered the Sanghati robe to the Buddha.


。如是漸漸教授,我八日之中,以學法受于乞食,至第九日,起于無學。

「阿難!若有正問:『誰是世尊法子,從佛口生、從法化生,付以法財,諸禪、解脫、三昧、正受?』應答我是,是則正說。譬如轉輪聖王第一長子,當以灌頂,住于王位,受王五欲,不苦方便自然而得,我亦如是,為佛法子,從佛口生、從法化生,得法余財法,禪、解脫、三昧、正受,不苦方便自然而得。譬如轉輪聖王寶象,高七八肘,一多羅葉能映障者。如是我所成就六神通智,則可映障,若有于神通境界智證有疑惑者,我悉能為分別記說,天耳、他心通、宿命智、生死智、漏盡作證智通有疑惑者,我悉能為分別記說,令得決定。」

尊者阿難語尊者摩訶迦葉:「如是!如是!摩訶迦葉!如轉輪聖王寶象,高七八肘,欲以一多羅葉能映障者。如是,尊者摩訶迦葉六神通智則可映障,若有于神通境界作證智,乃至漏盡作證智有疑惑者,尊者摩訶迦葉能為記說,令其決定。我于長夜敬信尊重尊者摩訶迦葉,以有如是大德神力故。」

尊者摩訶迦葉說是語時,尊者阿難聞其所說,歡喜受持

現代漢語譯本:如果這樣逐漸教導,我在八天之中,通過乞食學習佛法,到了第九天,就達到了無學的境界。 阿難!如果有人正確地問:『誰是世尊的法子,從佛口中出生、從佛法化生,被賦予佛法的財富,包括各種禪定、解脫、三昧、正受?』應該回答說是我,這樣回答才是正確的。譬如轉輪聖王的第一長子,應當被灌頂,繼承王位,享受王者的五種慾望,不費力氣自然而然地得到。我也像這樣,是佛的法子,從佛口中出生、從佛法化生,得到佛法所遺留的財富,包括禪定、解脫、三昧、正受,不費力氣自然而然地得到。譬如轉輪聖王的寶象,高七八肘,可以用一片多羅葉遮擋住。我所成就的六神通智慧,也可以像這樣被遮擋。如果有人對神通境界的智慧和證悟有疑惑,我都能為他們分別解釋說明。對於天耳通、他心通、宿命智、生死智、漏盡作證智等神通有疑惑的人,我都能為他們分別解釋說明,使他們得到確定的答案。 尊者阿難對尊者摩訶迦葉說:『是的!是的!摩訶迦葉!就像轉輪聖王的寶象,高七八肘,可以用一片多羅葉遮擋住一樣。尊者摩訶迦葉的六神通智慧也可以像這樣被遮擋。如果有人對神通境界的證悟智慧,乃至漏盡作證智有疑惑,尊者摩訶迦葉都能為他們解釋說明,使他們得到確定的答案。我長久以來都敬信尊重尊者摩訶迦葉,因為他有如此偉大的德行和神通力量。』 尊者摩訶迦葉說這些話的時候,尊者阿難聽了他所說的話,歡喜地接受並持守。

English version: If taught gradually like this, within eight days, I learned the Dharma through begging for food, and by the ninth day, I attained the state of no-more-learning. Ananda! If someone were to ask correctly: 『Who is the Dharma son of the World Honored One, born from the Buddha's mouth, transformed by the Dharma, endowed with the wealth of the Dharma, including all the meditations, liberations, samadhis, and right receptions?』 The answer should be 『It is I,』 and that would be the correct answer. Just like the firstborn son of a Wheel-Turning King, who should be crowned and inherit the throne, enjoying the five desires of a king, obtaining them naturally without effort. I am also like that, a Dharma son of the Buddha, born from the Buddha's mouth, transformed by the Dharma, obtaining the remaining wealth of the Dharma, including meditations, liberations, samadhis, and right receptions, obtaining them naturally without effort. Just like the precious elephant of a Wheel-Turning King, seven or eight cubits tall, which can be covered by a single palm leaf. My six supernormal wisdoms that I have attained can also be covered like that. If anyone has doubts about the wisdom and realization of the supernormal realms, I can explain and clarify them for them. For those who have doubts about the supernormal powers of the divine ear, the mind-reading ability, the knowledge of past lives, the knowledge of birth and death, and the knowledge of the extinction of outflows, I can explain and clarify them for them, so that they may obtain a definite answer. Venerable Ananda said to Venerable Mahakasyapa: 『Yes! Yes! Mahakasyapa! Just like the precious elephant of a Wheel-Turning King, seven or eight cubits tall, which can be covered by a single palm leaf. The six supernormal wisdoms of Venerable Mahakasyapa can also be covered like that. If anyone has doubts about the wisdom of the realization of the supernormal realms, up to the wisdom of the extinction of outflows, Venerable Mahakasyapa can explain and clarify them for them, so that they may obtain a definite answer. I have long respected and revered Venerable Mahakasyapa, because he has such great virtue and supernormal power.』 When Venerable Mahakasyapa spoke these words, Venerable Ananda heard what he said, and joyfully accepted and upheld it.

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,波斯匿王來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!應該佈施給什麼樣的人呢?』

佛陀說:『大王!隨你心中所喜歡的地方佈施。』

波斯匿王又問佛陀:『佈施在什麼地方,能得到大的果報呢?』

佛陀說:『大王!這是不同的問題。你問「應該佈施在什麼地方?」,這是一個問題。又問「佈施在什麼地方,應該得到大的果報?」,這是另一個問題。我現在問你,你隨意回答我。大王!譬如這個國家面臨戰爭,聚集了許多戰士,其中有一個婆羅門子,從東方來,年紀幼小,柔弱端正,面板白皙頭髮烏黑,不習武藝,不學戰術,恐懼退縮,不能自安,不能忍受敵人的觀看,無論是刺還是射,都沒有辦法,不能傷害敵人。怎麼樣?大王,這樣的士夫,你會賞賜他嗎?』

國王對佛陀說:『不會賞賜,世尊!』

『同樣,大王!有剎帝利童子從南方來,吠舍童子從西方來,首陀羅童子從北方來,都沒有什麼技能,都像東方的婆羅門子一樣,你會賞賜他們嗎?』

國王對佛陀說:『不會賞賜。』

English version The Miscellaneous Āgama Sutra, Scroll 41 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 02, No. 0099, Miscellaneous Āgama Sutra

The Miscellaneous Āgama Sutra, Scroll 42

Translated by Guṇabhadra of Tianzhu during the Song Dynasty

(1145)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

Then, King Pasenadi came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One! To whom should one give alms?'

The Buddha said, 'Great King! Give wherever your heart desires.'

King Pasenadi again asked the Buddha, 'Where should one give alms to receive great rewards?'

The Buddha said, 'Great King! These are different questions. The question, 「Where should one give alms?」 is one question. And the question, 「Where should one give alms to receive great rewards?」 is another question. Now I ask you, answer me as you please. Great King! Suppose this country is facing battle, and many warriors are gathered. And there is a Brahmin son, coming from the east, young and tender, gentle and handsome, with fair skin and black hair, not skilled in martial arts, not learned in tactics, fearful and retreating, unable to settle himself, unable to bear the sight of the enemy, whether it be stabbing or shooting, having no means, unable to harm the enemy. What do you think? Great King, would you reward such a man?'

The King said to the Buddha, 'I would not reward him, World-Honored One!'

'Likewise, Great King! There is a Kshatriya son coming from the south, a Vaishya son coming from the west, and a Shudra son coming from the north, all without any skills, all like the Brahmin son from the east. Would you reward them?'

The King said to the Buddha, 'I would not reward them.'


。世尊!」

「佛告大王,此國集軍臨戰鬥時,有婆羅門童子從東方來,年少端正,膚白髮黑,善學武藝,知斗術法,勇健無畏,苦戰不退,安住諦觀,運戈能傷,能破巨敵。云何?大王!如此戰士,加重賞不?」

王白佛言:「重賞,世尊!」

「如是,剎利童子從南方來,鞞舍童子從西方來,首陀羅童子從北方來,年少端正,善諸術藝,勇健堪能,苦戰卻敵,皆如東方婆羅門子。如是戰士,王當賞不?」

王白佛言:「重賞,世尊!」

佛言:「大王!如是沙門、婆羅門遠離五支,成就五支,建立福田。施此田者,得大福利,得大果報。何等為舍離五支?所謂貪慾蓋,瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑蓋,已斷已知,是名舍離五支。何等為成就五支?謂無學戒身成就,無學定身、慧身、解脫身、解脫知見身,是名成就五支。大王!如是舍離五支,成就五支,建立福田,施此田者,得大果報。」爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「運戈猛戰鬥,  堪能勇士夫,  為其戰鬥故,  隨功重加賞。  不賞名族胄,  怯劣無勇者,  忍辱修賢良,  見諦建福田。  賢聖律儀備,  成就深妙智,  族胄雖卑微,  堪為施福田

「世尊!」 「佛告訴大王,當這個國家集結軍隊準備戰鬥時,會有一個婆羅門童子從東方來,他年輕俊美,面板白皙,頭髮烏黑,精通武藝,懂得戰鬥的技巧,勇敢無畏,即使苦戰也不會退縮,他能冷靜觀察,揮動武器就能傷敵,能擊破強大的敵人。怎麼樣?大王!這樣的戰士,你會給予重賞嗎?」 國王回答佛說:「會給予重賞,世尊!」 「同樣,剎帝利童子從南方來,吠舍童子從西方來,首陀羅童子從北方來,他們都年輕俊美,精通各種技藝,勇敢能幹,即使苦戰也能擊退敵人,都像東方的婆羅門童子一樣。這樣的戰士,你會賞賜他們嗎?」 國王回答佛說:「會給予重賞,世尊!」 佛說:「大王!像這樣的沙門、婆羅門,他們遠離五種障礙,成就五種功德,建立了福田。佈施給這樣的福田,會得到巨大的福報,得到巨大的果報。什麼是舍離五種障礙呢?就是指貪慾的覆蓋、嗔恚、睡眠、掉舉和後悔、以及疑惑的覆蓋,這些都已斷除和了解,這就叫做舍離五種障礙。什麼是成就五種功德呢?就是指無學的戒身成就,無學的定身、慧身、解脫身、解脫知見身,這就叫做成就五種功德。大王!像這樣舍離五種障礙,成就五種功德,建立了福田,佈施給這樣的福田,會得到巨大的果報。」這時,世尊又說了偈語: 『揮動武器勇猛戰鬥, 堪稱勇猛的戰士, 因為他們的戰鬥, 根據功勞給予重賞。 不賞賜那些名門望族, 膽怯懦弱沒有勇氣的人, 忍辱修行善良的人, 明見真理建立福田。 賢聖的戒律完備, 成就深奧微妙的智慧, 即使出身卑微, 也堪為佈施的福田。』

'Venerable One!' 'The Buddha said to the king, 'When this country gathers its army for battle, a Brahmin youth will come from the east. He will be young and handsome, with fair skin and black hair. He will be skilled in martial arts, knowledgeable in combat techniques, brave and fearless. He will not retreat even in fierce battles. He will remain steadfast in observation, and with a swing of his weapon, he can wound and defeat great enemies. What do you think, O King? Would you give such a warrior a great reward?' The king replied to the Buddha, 'A great reward, Venerable One!' 'Likewise, a Kshatriya youth will come from the south, a Vaishya youth from the west, and a Shudra youth from the north. They will all be young and handsome, skilled in various arts, brave and capable. They will be able to repel enemies even in fierce battles, just like the Brahmin youth from the east. Would you reward such warriors, O King?' The king replied to the Buddha, 'A great reward, Venerable One!' The Buddha said, 'O King! Such are the Shramanas and Brahmins who have abandoned the five hindrances and achieved the five perfections, establishing a field of merit. Giving to such a field of merit brings great blessings and great rewards. What are the five hindrances that are abandoned? They are the cover of greed, hatred, sleepiness, restlessness and regret, and the cover of doubt. These have been cut off and understood. This is called abandoning the five hindrances. What are the five perfections that are achieved? They are the perfection of the body of discipline of the non-learner, the perfection of the body of concentration, the body of wisdom, the body of liberation, and the body of the knowledge and vision of liberation. This is called achieving the five perfections. O King! Those who have abandoned the five hindrances and achieved the five perfections, establishing a field of merit, giving to such a field of merit brings great rewards.' At that time, the Venerable One spoke these verses: 'Wielding weapons in fierce battle, Worthy of being called a brave warrior, Because of their fighting, According to their merits, they are greatly rewarded. Those of noble birth are not rewarded, If they are timid, weak, and without courage, Those who practice patience and cultivate goodness, Who see the truth and establish a field of merit. The virtuous and holy are complete in their discipline, Achieving profound and subtle wisdom, Even if their origin is humble, They are worthy of being a field of merit for giving.'


。  衣食錢財寶,  床臥等眾具,  悉應以敬施,  為持凈戒故。  人表林野際,  穿井給行人,  溪澗施橋樑,  迥路造房舍。  戒德多聞眾,  行路得止息,  譬如重云起,  雷電聲振耀。  普雨于壤土,  百卉悉扶疏,  禽獸皆歡喜,  田夫並欣樂。  如是凈信心,  聞慧舍慳垢,  錢財豐飲食,  常施良福田。  高唱增歡愛,  如雷雨良田,  功德注流澤,  沾洽施主心。  財富名稱流,  及涅槃大果。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一四六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,波斯匿王來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「云何?世尊!為婆羅門死還生自姓婆羅門家,剎利、鞞舍、首陀羅家耶?」

佛言:「大王!何得如是?大王當知,有四種人。何等為四?有一種人,從冥入冥;有一種人,從冥入明;有一種人,從明入冥;有一種人,從明入明

現代漢語譯本 衣食錢財寶物,床鋪臥具等各種用具,都應當恭敬地佈施,爲了持守清凈的戒律的緣故。 在人煙稀少的郊野,挖掘水井供給行人飲用,在溪流山澗上架設橋樑,在偏遠道路上建造房舍。 持戒有德、博學多聞的僧眾,在旅途中可以得到休息,就像濃厚的雲層升起,雷聲和閃電震動閃耀。 普遍降雨在土地上,各種草木都茂盛生長,鳥獸都歡喜,農夫也感到快樂。 像這樣清凈的信心,通過聽聞佛法和智慧來捨棄慳吝的污垢,用豐厚的錢財和飲食,常常佈施給良田般的福田。 高聲歌唱增加歡喜和愛意,就像雷雨滋潤良田,功德像水流一樣注入,滋潤施主的心田。 財富和名聲流傳,最終獲得涅槃的偉大果報。 佛陀說完這部經后,波斯匿王聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (一一四六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,波斯匿王來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的腳行禮,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊,為什麼?婆羅門死後會再生到自己婆羅門種姓的家庭,還是剎帝利、吠舍、首陀羅的家庭呢?』 佛陀說:『大王,怎麼會這樣呢?大王應當知道,有四種人。哪四種呢?有一種人,從黑暗進入黑暗;有一種人,從黑暗進入光明;有一種人,從光明進入黑暗;有一種人,從光明進入光明。』

English version Clothing, food, money, treasures, beds, bedding, and all kinds of utensils should be given with respect, for the sake of upholding pure precepts. In the remote wilderness, dig wells to provide water for travelers, build bridges over streams and ravines, and construct houses on remote roads. The monastic community, virtuous in precepts and learned, can find rest on their journeys, just as thick clouds rise, and thunder and lightning shake and shine. Rain falls universally on the land, all kinds of plants grow luxuriantly, birds and beasts are happy, and farmers are also joyful. With such pure faith, through hearing the Dharma and wisdom, one abandons the defilement of stinginess, and with abundant money and food, one often gives to the field of merit like a good field. Singing loudly increases joy and love, like thunder and rain nourishing a good field, merit flows like water, nourishing the heart of the donor. Wealth and fame spread, and ultimately one attains the great fruit of Nirvana. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, King Pasenadi, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid his respects, and departed. (1146) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, King Pasenadi came to the Buddha's place, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, retreated and sat to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Why, O Blessed One? After a Brahmin dies, will he be reborn into his own Brahmin family, or into a Kshatriya, Vaishya, or Shudra family?' The Buddha said: 'Great King, how can it be like that? Great King, you should know that there are four kinds of people. What are the four? There is one kind of person who goes from darkness into darkness; there is one kind of person who goes from darkness into light; there is one kind of person who goes from light into darkness; there is one kind of person who goes from light into light.'


「大王!云何為一種人從冥入冥?謂有人生卑姓家,若生旃陀羅家、魚獵家、竹作家、車師家,及餘種種下賤工巧業家,貧窮短命,形體憔悴,而復修行卑賤之家,亦復為人下賤作使,是名為冥。處斯冥中,復行身惡行、行口惡行、行意惡行,以是因緣,身壞命終,當生惡趣,墮泥梨中。猶如有人從闇入闇,從廁入廁,以血洗血,舍惡受惡;從冥入冥者亦復如是。是故名為從冥入冥。

「云何名為從冥入明?謂有世人生卑姓家,乃至為人作諸鄙業,是名為冥。然其彼人於此冥中,行身善行、行口善行、行意善行,以是因緣,身壞命終,生於善趣,受天化生。譬如有人登床跨馬,從馬升象;從冥入明亦復如是。是名有人從冥入明。

「云何有人從明入冥?謂有世人生富樂家,若剎利大姓、婆羅門大姓家、長者大姓家,及餘種種富樂家生,多諸錢財,奴婢、客使,廣集知識,受身端正,聰明黠慧,是名為明。於此明中,行身惡行、行口惡行、行意惡行,以是因緣,身壞命終,生於惡趣,墮泥梨中。譬如有人從高樓下乘于大象,下象乘馬,下馬乘輿,下輿坐床、下床墮地,從地落坑,從明入冥者亦復如是。

「云何有人從明入明?謂有世人生富樂家,乃至形相端嚴,是名為明

現代漢語譯本 『大王!什麼叫做一種人從黑暗走向黑暗?是指有的人生在卑賤的姓氏家族,比如旃陀羅家、漁獵家、竹匠家、車匠家,以及其他各種工匠之家,他們貧窮短命,形體憔悴,又從事卑賤的行業,還給人做奴僕,這叫做黑暗。處在這樣的黑暗之中,又做身惡行、口惡行、意惡行,因為這些原因,身死命終后,會墮入惡道,進入地獄。就像有人從黑暗進入黑暗,從廁所進入廁所,用血洗血,捨棄惡而接受惡;從黑暗走向黑暗也是這樣。所以叫做從黑暗走向黑暗。 『什麼叫做從黑暗走向光明?是指有的人生在卑賤的姓氏家族,甚至給人做各種卑賤的工作,這叫做黑暗。然而這個人在這種黑暗之中,做身善行、口善行、意善行,因為這些原因,身死命終后,會生到善道,受天人化生。就像有人從床上跨到馬上,從馬上升到象上;從黑暗走向光明也是這樣。這叫做有人從黑暗走向光明。 『什麼叫做有人從光明走向黑暗?是指有的人生在富裕快樂的家族,比如剎帝利大姓、婆羅門大姓、長者大姓家族,以及其他各種富裕快樂的家族,他們擁有很多錢財,奴婢、僕人,廣泛結交朋友,容貌端正,聰明機敏,這叫做光明。在這種光明之中,做身惡行、口惡行、意惡行,因為這些原因,身死命終后,會墮入惡道,進入地獄。就像有人從高樓下來乘坐大象,從象下來乘坐馬,從馬下來乘坐轎子,從轎子下來坐到床上,從床上掉到地上,從地上掉到坑裡,從光明走向黑暗也是這樣。 『什麼叫做有人從光明走向光明?是指有的人生在富裕快樂的家族,甚至容貌端正,這叫做光明。

English version 『Great King! What is meant by a person going from darkness to darkness? It refers to someone born into a low-caste family, such as a Candala family, a fishing family, a bamboo-working family, a cartwright family, or various other artisan families. They are poor and short-lived, with emaciated bodies, and they also engage in lowly occupations, serving as servants to others. This is called darkness. Being in this darkness, they further engage in evil deeds of body, evil deeds of speech, and evil deeds of mind. Because of these causes, when their body breaks and their life ends, they will be born into evil realms, falling into hell. It is like someone going from darkness into darkness, from a toilet into a toilet, washing blood with blood, abandoning evil to receive evil; going from darkness to darkness is also like this. Therefore, it is called going from darkness to darkness.』 『What is meant by going from darkness to light? It refers to someone born into a low-caste family, even doing various lowly jobs for others. This is called darkness. However, this person, in this darkness, engages in good deeds of body, good deeds of speech, and good deeds of mind. Because of these causes, when their body breaks and their life ends, they will be born into good realms, receiving heavenly rebirth. It is like someone stepping from a bed onto a horse, and from a horse onto an elephant; going from darkness to light is also like this. This is called someone going from darkness to light.』 『What is meant by someone going from light to darkness? It refers to someone born into a wealthy and happy family, such as a Kshatriya noble family, a Brahmin noble family, an elder's noble family, or various other wealthy and happy families. They possess much wealth, servants, and attendants, widely gather knowledge, have a handsome appearance, and are intelligent and clever. This is called light. In this light, they engage in evil deeds of body, evil deeds of speech, and evil deeds of mind. Because of these causes, when their body breaks and their life ends, they will be born into evil realms, falling into hell. It is like someone descending from a high building to ride an elephant, descending from an elephant to ride a horse, descending from a horse to ride a palanquin, descending from a palanquin to sit on a bed, falling from the bed to the ground, and falling from the ground into a pit; going from light to darkness is also like this.』 『What is meant by someone going from light to light? It refers to someone born into a wealthy and happy family, even having a handsome appearance. This is called light.』


。於此明中,行身善行、行口善行、行意善行,以是因緣,身壞命終,生於善趣,受天化生。譬如有人從樓觀至樓觀。如是,乃至從床至床;從明入明者亦復如是。是名有人從明入明。」爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「貧窮困苦者,  不信增瞋恨,  慳貪惡邪想,  癡惑不恭敬。  見沙門道士,  持戒多聞者,  毀呰而不譽,  障他施及受。  如斯等士夫,  從此至他世,  當墮泥梨中,  從冥入于冥。  若有貧窮人,  信心少瞋恨,  常生慚愧心,  惠施離慳垢。  見沙門梵志,  持戒多聞者,  謙虛而問訊,  隨宜善供給。  勸人令施與,  嘆施及受者,  如是修善人,  從此至他世。  善趣上生天,  從冥而入明,  有富樂士夫,  不信多瞋恨。  慳貪疾惡想,  邪惑不恭敬,  見沙門梵志,  毀呰而不譽。  障他人施惠,  亦斷受施者,  如是惡士夫,  從此至他世。  當生苦地獄,  從明入冥中,  若有富士夫,  信心不瞋恨。  常起慚愧心,  惠施離瞋姤,  見沙門梵志,  持戒多聞者。  先奉迎問訊,  隨宜給所須,  勸人令供養,  嘆施及受者

現代漢語譯本:在此教義中,如果一個人行為善良、言語善良、思想善良,以此因緣,身壞命終后,會投生到善道,以天人的形式化生。這就像一個人從一座樓閣走到另一座樓閣,或者從一張床走到另一張床一樣;又像從光明走向光明一樣。這就叫做『有人從光明走向光明』。那時,世尊又說了偈語: 『貧窮困苦的人,不相信因果,反而增加嗔恨,慳吝貪婪,心懷邪惡的想法,愚癡迷惑,不恭敬。見到沙門道士,持戒多聞的人,就詆譭而不讚美,阻礙他人佈施和接受佈施。像這樣的人,從今生到他世,會墮入地獄之中,從黑暗走向黑暗。 如果貧窮的人,有信心,少嗔恨,常常生起慚愧心,樂於佈施,遠離慳吝的污垢。見到沙門梵志,持戒多聞的人,謙虛地問候,隨其所需給予供養。勸導他人佈施,讚歎佈施者和接受佈施者。像這樣修善的人,從今生到他世,會投生到善道,上升到天界,從黑暗走向光明。 如果富裕快樂的人,不相信因果,反而多嗔恨,慳吝貪婪,心懷邪惡的想法,愚癡迷惑,不恭敬。見到沙門梵志,就詆譭而不讚美,阻礙他人佈施,也斷絕接受佈施的人。像這樣惡劣的人,從今生到他世,會投生到痛苦的地獄,從光明走向黑暗。 如果富裕的人,有信心,不嗔恨,常常生起慚愧心,樂於佈施,遠離嗔恨的污垢。見到沙門梵志,持戒多聞的人,先上前迎接問候,隨其所需給予供養,勸導他人供養,讚歎佈施者和接受佈施者。

English version: In this teaching, if one practices good deeds in body, speech, and mind, due to this cause, after the body breaks and life ends, one will be reborn in a good realm, taking birth as a celestial being. It is like someone going from one pavilion to another, or from one bed to another; it is also like going from light to light. This is called 『someone going from light to light.』 At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verses: 『Those who are poor and suffering, do not believe, but increase their hatred, are stingy and greedy, harbor evil thoughts, are deluded and disrespectful. When they see monks and ascetics, those who uphold precepts and are learned, they criticize rather than praise, hindering others from giving and receiving. Such people, from this life to the next, will fall into hell, going from darkness to darkness. If a poor person has faith, little hatred, often feels shame, is generous, and is free from the defilement of stinginess. When they see monks and Brahmins, those who uphold precepts and are learned, they humbly greet them, and provide offerings according to their needs. They encourage others to give, and praise both the giver and the receiver. Such virtuous people, from this life to the next, will be reborn in a good realm, ascending to the heavens, going from darkness to light. If a wealthy and happy person does not believe, but has much hatred, is stingy and greedy, harbors evil thoughts, is deluded and disrespectful. When they see monks and Brahmins, they criticize rather than praise, hindering others from giving, and also cutting off those who receive. Such evil people, from this life to the next, will be born in a painful hell, going from light to darkness. If a wealthy person has faith, no hatred, often feels shame, is generous, and is free from the defilement of hatred. When they see monks and Brahmins, those who uphold precepts and are learned, they first greet them, provide offerings according to their needs, encourage others to make offerings, and praise both the giver and the receiver.』


。  如是等士夫,  從此至他世,  生三十三天,  從明而入明。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一四七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,波斯匿王日日身蒙塵土,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。

佛言:「大王!從何所來?」

波斯匿王白佛言:「世尊!彼灌頂王法,人中自在,精勤方便。王領大地,統理王事,周行觀察,而來至此。」

佛告大王:「今問大王,隨意答我。譬如有人從東方來,有信有緣,未曾虛妄,而白王言:『我東方來,見一石山,極方廣大,不穿不壞,亦無缺壞,磨地而來,一切眾生草木之類悉磨令碎。』南、西、北方亦有人來,有信有緣,亦不虛妄,而白王言:『我見石山,方廣高大,不斷不壞,亦不缺壞,磨地而來,眾生草木悉皆磨碎。』大王!于意云何?如是像貌大恐怖事,險惡相殺,眾生運盡,人道難得,當作何計?」

王白佛言:「若如是者,更無餘計,唯當修善,于佛法、律專心方便。」

佛告大王:「何故說言:『險惡恐怖於世卒起,眾生運盡,人身難得,唯當行法、行義、行福,于佛法教專精方便

現代漢語譯本:

像這樣的修行人,從這一世到下一世,會轉生到三十三天,從光明走向光明。 佛陀說完這部經后,波斯匿王聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (一一四七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,波斯匿王每天都滿身塵土,來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁。 佛陀問:『大王,你從哪裡來?』 波斯匿王對佛陀說:『世尊,我作為灌頂王,在人中享有自在,勤勉地處理政務。我統治著大地,管理著國家事務,四處巡視,然後來到這裡。』 佛陀告訴大王:『我現在問你,請隨意回答我。比如,有個人從東方來,他誠實可靠,從不說謊,他告訴你說:「我從東方來,看到一座石山,非常巨大寬廣,堅不可摧,也沒有任何破損,它碾壓著地面而來,把一切眾生草木都碾得粉碎。」南方、西方、北方也有人來,他們誠實可靠,也不說謊,他們也告訴你說:「我看到一座石山,巨大寬廣,堅不可摧,也沒有任何破損,它碾壓著地面而來,把一切眾生草木都碾得粉碎。」大王,你認為怎麼樣?像這樣恐怖的事情,險惡的殺戮,眾生的命運終結,人道難以獲得,應該怎麼辦?』 國王對佛陀說:『如果真是這樣,那就沒有別的辦法了,只能修善,在佛法和戒律上專心修行。』 佛陀告訴大王:『為什麼你說:「險惡恐怖的事情突然在世間發生,眾生的命運終結,人身難以獲得,只能修行佛法、正義、福德,在佛陀的教誨上專心修行」?』

English version:

Such are the individuals who, from this life to the next, are reborn in the Thirty-three Heavens, going from light into light. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, King Pasenadi, having heard the Buddha's teachings, rejoiced and praised, then bowed and departed. (1147) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, King Pasenadi, covered in dust every day, came to the Buddha's dwelling, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then sat down to one side. The Buddha asked: 'Great King, from where have you come?' King Pasenadi replied to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, as an anointed king, I enjoy freedom among men, diligently attending to affairs of state. I rule over the land, manage the kingdom's affairs, travel around to observe, and then came here.' The Buddha told the Great King: 'Now I ask you, please answer me as you wish. For example, if someone came from the east, trustworthy and truthful, and told you: 「I came from the east and saw a stone mountain, extremely vast and wide, indestructible, without any damage, grinding the earth as it came, crushing all living beings and vegetation.」 If people also came from the south, west, and north, trustworthy and truthful, and told you: 「I saw a stone mountain, vast and high, unbroken and indestructible, without any damage, grinding the earth as it came, crushing all living beings and vegetation.」 Great King, what do you think? Such a terrifying event, a dreadful slaughter, the end of all beings' fate, the difficulty of attaining human form, what should be done?' The King replied to the Buddha: 'If that were the case, there would be no other option but to cultivate goodness, and to focus diligently on the Buddha's teachings and precepts.' The Buddha told the Great King: 'Why do you say: 「Terrible and frightening events suddenly arise in the world, the fate of all beings comes to an end, human form is difficult to attain, one should only cultivate the Dharma, righteousness, and merit, and focus diligently on the Buddha's teachings」?'


。』何以不言:『灌頂王位眾人人首,堪能自在。』王于大地,事務眾人,當須營理耶?」

王白佛言:「世尊!為復閑時言:『灌頂王位為眾人首,王于大地,多所經營,以言斗言,以財斗財,以象斗象,以車斗車,以步斗步。當於爾時,無有自在,若勝若伏。』是故我說:『險惡恐怖卒起之時,眾生運盡,人身難得,無有餘計,唯有行義、行法、行福,于佛法教專心歸依。』」

佛告大王:「如是!如是!經常磨迮,謂惡劫、老、病、苦,磨迮眾生。當作何計?正當修義、修法、修福、修善、修慈,于佛法中精勤方便。」爾時,世尊而說偈言:

「如有大石山,  高廣無缺壞,  周遍四方來,  磨迮此大地。  非兵馬咒術,  力所能防禦,  惡劫老病死,  常磨迮眾生。  四種大族姓,  栴陀羅獵師,  在家及出家,  持戒犯戒者。  一切皆磨迮,  無能救護者,  是故慧士夫,  觀察自己利。  建立清凈信,  信佛法僧寶,  身口心清凈,  隨順於正法。  現世名稱流,  終則生天上。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一四八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:『為何不說:『灌頂為王的人是眾人之首,能夠自在。』國王統治大地,事務繁多,難道不需要經營處理嗎?』 國王對佛說:『世尊!是因為閑暇時才說:『灌頂為王的人是眾人之首,統治大地,需要經營很多事務,用言語爭鬥,用財富爭鬥,用象爭鬥,用車爭鬥,用步兵爭鬥。』在那個時候,沒有自在,不是勝就是敗。』所以我說:『當危險恐怖突然發生時,眾生的運數已盡,人身難以獲得,沒有其他辦法,只有行義、行法、行福,對佛法教義專心歸依。』 佛告訴國王:『是這樣的!是這樣的!經常有磨難逼迫,比如惡劫、衰老、疾病、痛苦,這些都在逼迫眾生。應當如何應對呢?應當修義、修法、修福、修善、修慈,在佛法中精勤方便。』當時,世尊說了偈語: 『如同巨大的石山,高大寬廣沒有缺損,從四面八方而來,磨壓著這片大地。不是兵器、馬匹、咒術,力量所能防禦的,惡劫、衰老、疾病、死亡,經常磨難逼迫眾生。四種大姓,旃陀羅、獵人,在家和出家的人,持戒和犯戒的人。一切都被磨難逼迫,沒有能夠救護的,所以有智慧的人,應當觀察自己的利益。建立清凈的信心,相信佛、法、僧三寶,身口意清凈,隨順正法。現世名聲流傳,最終則能往生天上。』 佛說完這部經后,波斯匿王聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮后離去。 (一一四八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: 'Why not say: 'The one who is crowned king is the head of all people, capable of being free and at ease.' The king rules the land, with many affairs, does he not need to manage them?' The king said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! It is because in leisure time it is said: 'The one who is crowned king is the head of all people, ruling the land, needing to manage many affairs, contending with words, contending with wealth, contending with elephants, contending with chariots, contending with infantry.' At that time, there is no freedom, either winning or losing.' Therefore, I say: 'When danger and terror suddenly arise, the fate of beings is exhausted, a human body is difficult to obtain, there is no other way, only to practice righteousness, practice the Dharma, practice blessings, and wholeheartedly take refuge in the teachings of the Buddha.' The Buddha told the king: 'It is so! It is so! There are constant oppressions, such as evil kalpas, old age, sickness, and suffering, which oppress beings. What should be done? One should cultivate righteousness, cultivate the Dharma, cultivate blessings, cultivate goodness, cultivate compassion, and diligently practice the expedient means in the Buddha's teachings.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse: 'Like a great stone mountain, tall and wide without defect, coming from all four directions, grinding this earth. Not by weapons, horses, or spells, can its power be defended against, evil kalpas, old age, sickness, and death, constantly oppress beings. The four great castes, the Chandalas, the hunters, those who are at home and those who have left home, those who uphold the precepts and those who break them. All are oppressed, and there is no one who can save them, therefore, the wise person should observe their own benefit. Establish pure faith, believe in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, purify body, speech, and mind, and follow the righteous Dharma. In this life, fame will spread, and in the end, one will be reborn in heaven.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, King Pasenadi heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid homage, and departed. (1148) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.


時,波斯匿王來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。時,有尼乾子七人、阇祇羅七人、一舍羅七人,身皆粗大,彷徉行住祇洹門外。

時,波斯匿王遙見斯等彷徉門外,即從座起,往至其前,合掌問訊,三自稱名言:「我是波斯匿王、拘薩羅王。」

爾時,世尊告波斯匿王:「汝今何故恭敬斯等,三稱姓名,合掌問訊?」

王白佛言:「我作是念:『世間若有阿羅漢者,斯等則是。』」

佛告波斯匿王:「汝今且止!汝亦不知是阿羅漢、非阿羅漢,不得他心智故。且當親近觀其戒行,久而可知,勿速自決!審諦觀察,勿但洛莫!當用智慧,不以不智。經諸苦難,堪能自辯;交契計挍,真偽則分。見說知明,久而則知,非可卒識,當須思惟,智慧觀察!」

王白佛言:「奇哉!世尊!善說斯理,言:『久相習,觀其戒行,乃至見說知明。』我有家人,亦復出家,作斯等形相,周流他國,而復來還,舍其被服,還受五欲。是故當知世尊善說,應與同止,觀其戒行,乃至言說知有智慧。」

爾時,世尊而說偈言:

「不以見形相,  知人之善惡,  不應暫相見,  而與同心志,  有現身口密,  俗心不斂攝

現代漢語譯本:當時,波斯匿王來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁坐下。這時,有七個尼乾子、七個阇祇羅、七個一舍羅,他們身材都非常高大,在祇洹精舍的門外徘徊走動。 波斯匿王遠遠地看見這些人在門外徘徊,就從座位上站起來,走到他們面前,合掌問候,三次自稱姓名說:『我是波斯匿王,拘薩羅王。』 這時,世尊告訴波斯匿王:『你現在為什麼如此恭敬這些人,三次稱說姓名,合掌問候呢?』 波斯匿王對佛陀說:『我這樣想:如果世間有阿羅漢,這些人就是阿羅漢。』 佛陀告訴波斯匿王:『你先不要這樣說!你也不知道他們是不是阿羅漢,因為你沒有他心智。應該親近觀察他們的戒行,時間久了才能知道,不要輕易下結論!要仔細觀察,不要只是粗略地看!要用智慧,不要用愚昧。經歷過各種苦難,才能辨別真偽;經過交往和比較,真假才能分辨。聽他們說的話,瞭解他們的思想,時間久了才能知道,不能一下子就認識,應該思考,用智慧觀察!』 波斯匿王對佛陀說:『真是奇妙啊!世尊!您說得太好了,說:『要長期相處,觀察他們的戒行,乃至聽他們說話,瞭解他們是否有智慧。』我的家人中,也有出家的人,做出這樣的樣子,周遊其他國家,然後又回來,捨棄了僧人的服裝,又重新接受五欲。所以應該知道世尊說得對,應該和他們一起生活,觀察他們的戒行,乃至聽他們說話,瞭解他們是否有智慧。』 這時,世尊說了偈語: 『不要因為看到外表,就判斷一個人的善惡,不應該只是短暫地相見,就和他們同心同德,有些人表面上看起來很莊重,但內心卻不收斂。』

English version: At that time, King Pasenadi came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then retreated to sit on one side. At that time, there were seven Niganthas, seven Jatiyas, and seven Ekasatakas, all of whom were very tall, wandering and walking outside the gate of Jetavana. King Pasenadi saw these people wandering outside the gate from afar, so he rose from his seat, went to them, put his palms together in greeting, and three times proclaimed his name, saying, 'I am King Pasenadi, King of Kosala.' At that time, the World Honored One said to King Pasenadi, 'Why are you now so respectful to these people, proclaiming your name three times, and greeting them with palms together?' King Pasenadi said to the Buddha, 'I thought to myself: If there are Arhats in the world, these are they.' The Buddha said to King Pasenadi, 'You should stop saying that for now! You do not know whether they are Arhats or not, because you do not have the mind-reading ability. You should observe their precepts and conduct closely, and you will know after a long time. Do not make hasty conclusions! Observe carefully, do not just look superficially! Use wisdom, not ignorance. After experiencing various hardships, one can distinguish the true from the false; through interaction and comparison, the true and false can be distinguished. By listening to their words and understanding their thoughts, one can know after a long time. It cannot be known immediately, one should think and observe with wisdom!' King Pasenadi said to the Buddha, 'How wonderful! World Honored One! You have spoken so well, saying: 'One should live together for a long time, observe their precepts and conduct, and even listen to their words to understand whether they have wisdom.' Among my family members, there are also those who have left home, made such appearances, traveled to other countries, and then returned, abandoning their monastic robes and accepting the five desires again. Therefore, one should know that the World Honored One is right, one should live with them, observe their precepts and conduct, and even listen to their words to understand whether they have wisdom.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'Do not judge a person's good or evil by their appearance, one should not be of one mind with them after only a brief meeting, some people appear solemn on the outside, but their hearts are not restrained.'


。  猶如鍮石銅,  涂以真金色,  內懷鄙雜心,  外現聖威儀,  遊行諸國土,  欺誑於世人。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一四九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,波斯匿王為首,並七國王及諸大臣悉共集會,作如是論議:「五欲之中,何者第一?」有一人言:「色最第一。」又復有稱聲、香、味、觸為第一者。中有人言:「我等人人各說第一,竟無定判,當詣世尊!問如此義。如世尊說,當共憶持。」

爾時,波斯匿王為首,與七國王、大臣、眷屬來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我等七王與諸大臣如是論議:『五欲功德,何者為勝?』其中有言色勝、有言聲勝、有言香勝、有言味勝、有言觸勝,竟無決定。來問世尊,竟何者勝?」

佛告諸王:「各隨意適,我悉有餘說,以是因緣,我說五欲功德。然自有人於色適意,止愛一色,滿其志願,正使過上有諸勝色,非其所愛,不觸不視,言己所愛最為第一,無過其上。如愛色者。聲、香、味、觸亦皆如是。當其所愛,輒言最勝,歡喜樂著,雖更有勝過其上者,非其所欲,不觸不視,唯我愛者最勝最妙,無比無上

現代漢語譯本:

就像用真金塗在黃銅上一樣,內心懷著卑鄙雜亂的心思,外表卻顯現出聖人的威儀,在各個國家欺騙世人。 佛陀說完這部經后,波斯匿王聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (一一四九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,波斯匿王為首,和七位國王以及各位大臣一起聚集,討論說:『五欲之中,哪一種最為第一?』有一個人說:『色最為第一。』又有人說聲、香、味、觸為第一。其中有人說:『我們每個人都說自己認為的第一,最終沒有定論,應當去拜見世尊!詢問這個道理。按照世尊所說,我們共同記住。』 當時,波斯匿王為首,和七位國王、大臣、眷屬來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀行禮,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我們七位國王和各位大臣這樣討論:『五欲的功德,哪一種最為殊勝?』其中有人說色勝,有人說聲勝,有人說香勝,有人說味勝,有人說觸勝,最終沒有定論。前來請問世尊,究竟哪一種最為殊勝?』 佛陀告訴各位國王:『各自隨自己的心意,我都有其他的說法,因為這個緣故,我說五欲的功德。然而有人對色感到滿意,只愛一種顏色,滿足自己的願望,即使有比這更好的顏色,如果不是他所愛的,他也不會接觸或觀看,說自己所愛的最為第一,沒有比它更好的。就像喜愛顏色的人一樣。聲、香、味、觸也都是這樣。當他喜愛的時候,就說它最殊勝,歡喜執著,即使有比它更好的,如果不是他所想要的,他也不會接觸或觀看,只說我所愛的最殊勝最美妙,無比無上。』

'Like brass coated with real gold, harboring a base and mixed heart within, yet outwardly displaying the dignified demeanor of a sage, deceiving people in various lands.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, King Pasenadi, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, then bowed and departed. (1149) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, King Pasenadi, along with seven other kings and various ministers, gathered together and discussed, saying: 'Among the five desires, which is the foremost?' One person said: 'Form is the foremost.' Others claimed sound, smell, taste, and touch to be the foremost. Among them, someone said: 'Each of us speaks of what we consider foremost, and there is no final judgment. We should go to the World Honored One! And ask about this principle. As the World Honored One says, we shall all remember it together.' At that time, King Pasenadi, along with seven other kings, ministers, and their retinues, came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! We seven kings and various ministers have been discussing: 'Among the merits of the five desires, which is the most superior?' Some say form is superior, some say sound is superior, some say smell is superior, some say taste is superior, and some say touch is superior, and there is no final decision. We have come to ask the World Honored One, which is ultimately the most superior?' The Buddha told the kings: 'Each according to your own inclination, I have other things to say, and for this reason, I speak of the merits of the five desires. However, there are those who are satisfied with form, loving only one color, fulfilling their desires, and even if there are superior colors, if it is not what they love, they will not touch or look at it, saying that what they love is the foremost, and there is nothing better. It is like those who love form. Sound, smell, taste, and touch are all the same. When they love something, they say it is the most superior, joyfully attached, and even if there is something better, if it is not what they desire, they will not touch or look at it, saying only that what I love is the most superior, the most wonderful, incomparable and unsurpassed.'


。」

爾時,座中有一優婆塞,名曰栴檀,從座起,整衣服,偏袒右肩,合掌白佛:「善說!世尊!善說!善逝!」

佛告優婆塞:「善說!栴檀!快說!栴檀!」

時,栴檀優婆塞即說偈言:

「央伽族姓王,  服珠瓔珞鎧,  摩竭眾慶集,  如來出其國。  名聞普流佈,  猶如雪山王,  如凈水蓮華,  清凈無瑕穢。  隨日光開敷,  芬香薰其國,  央耆國明顯,  猶如空中日。  觀如來慧力,  如夜然炬火,  為眼為大明,  來者為決疑。」

時,諸國王嘆言:「善說!栴檀優婆塞!」

爾時,七王脫七寶上衣,奉優婆塞。

時,彼七王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起去。

爾時,栴檀優婆塞知諸王去已,從座起,整衣服,偏袒右肩,合掌白佛:「今七國王遺我七領上衣,唯愿世尊受此七衣,以哀愍故!」

爾時,世尊為哀愍故,受其七衣,栴檀優婆塞歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一五〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,波斯匿王其體肥大,舉體流汗,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,氣息長喘。

爾時,世尊告波斯匿王:「大王身體極肥盛

現代漢語譯本 當時,在座中有一位名叫栴檀的優婆塞,他從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,袒露右肩,合掌向佛陀說道:『說得好啊!世尊!說得真好啊!善逝!』 佛陀告訴優婆塞:『說得好啊!栴檀!說得真快啊!栴檀!』 當時,栴檀優婆塞就說了偈語: 『央伽族的國王,身穿珠玉瓔珞鎧甲,摩竭陀國的人民歡慶聚集,如來出現在他們的國度。 他的名聲普遍流傳,猶如雪山之王,又如清凈的水中蓮花,清凈無瑕疵。 隨著陽光開放,芬芳薰染著整個國度,央耆國因此而顯赫,猶如空中的太陽。 觀察如來的智慧力量,猶如夜晚點燃的火炬,為人們的眼睛帶來光明,為前來的人們決斷疑惑。』 當時,各位國王讚歎道:『說得好啊!栴檀優婆塞!』 當時,七位國王脫下他們身上七件珍寶上衣,奉獻給優婆塞。 當時,這七位國王聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上站起來離去。 當時,栴檀優婆塞知道各位國王已經離去,就從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,袒露右肩,合掌向佛陀說道:『現在七位國王留下七件上衣給我,唯愿世尊接受這七件衣服,以慈悲憐憫的緣故!』 當時,世尊因為慈悲憐憫的緣故,接受了這七件衣服,栴檀優婆塞歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (一一五〇) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,波斯匿王身體肥胖,全身流汗,來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,退坐在一旁,氣息粗重。 當時,世尊告訴波斯匿王:『大王身體非常肥胖啊!』

English version At that time, there was an upasaka named Chandana in the assembly. He rose from his seat, adjusted his robes, bared his right shoulder, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha, 'Well said! O Blessed One! Well said! O Sugata!' The Buddha said to the upasaka, 'Well said! Chandana! Well spoken! Chandana!' Then, the upasaka Chandana spoke these verses: 'The king of the Anga clan, adorned with pearl necklaces and armor, the people of Magadha gather in celebration, the Tathagata appears in their land. His fame spreads far and wide, like the king of the snowy mountains, like a pure lotus in clear water, pure and without blemish. Blooming with the sunlight, its fragrance permeates the land, the Anga kingdom shines brightly, like the sun in the sky. Observing the wisdom and power of the Tathagata, like a torch lit in the night, it brings light to the eyes, and resolves the doubts of those who come.' At that time, the kings exclaimed, 'Well said! Upasaka Chandana!' Then, seven kings took off their seven jeweled upper garments and offered them to the upasaka. At that time, these seven kings, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and, with delight, rose from their seats and departed. Then, the upasaka Chandana, knowing that the kings had left, rose from his seat, adjusted his robes, bared his right shoulder, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha, 'Now, the seven kings have left seven upper garments for me. May the Blessed One accept these seven garments, out of compassion!' Then, the Blessed One, out of compassion, accepted the seven garments. The upasaka Chandana rejoiced and, with delight, paid homage and departed. (1150) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, King Pasenadi of Kosala, being very obese and sweating profusely, came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, breathing heavily. Then, the Blessed One said to King Pasenadi, 'O Great King, your body is extremely obese!'


。」

大王白佛言:「如是,世尊!患身肥大,常以此身極肥大故,慚恥厭苦。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「人當自繫念,  每食知節量,  是則諸受薄,  安消而保壽。」

時,有一年少,名郁多羅,于會中坐。時,波斯匿王告郁多羅:「汝能從世尊受向所說偈,每至食時,為我誦不?若能爾者,賜金錢十萬,亦常與食。」

郁多羅白王:「奉教當誦。」

時,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

時,郁多羅知王去已,至世尊前,受所說偈,于王食時,食食為誦,白言大王:「如佛世尊、如來、應、等正覺所知所見,而說斯偈:

「『人當自繫念,  每食知節量,   是則諸受薄,  安消而保壽。』」

如是,波斯匿王漸至后時,身體𦟛細,容貌端正,處樓閣上,向佛住處合掌恭敬,右膝著地,三說是言:「南無敬禮世尊、如來、應、等正覺,南無敬禮世尊、如來、應、等正覺,與我現法利益、後世利益、現法後世利益,以其飯食知節量故。」

(一一五一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國。

時,有年少阿修羅來詣佛所,于佛面前粗惡不善語,瞋罵呵責

現代漢語譯本 大王對佛說:『是的,世尊!我為身體過於肥胖而苦惱,常常因為身體過於肥胖而感到慚愧和厭惡。』 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『人應當自我約束, 每次吃飯要知道節制, 這樣各種感受就會減少, 能夠安穩消化並保持長壽。』 當時,有一個年輕人,名叫郁多羅,在集會中坐著。當時,波斯匿王告訴郁多羅:『你能夠從世尊那裡接受剛才所說的偈語,每次吃飯的時候為我誦讀嗎?如果能這樣做,我將賞賜你十萬金錢,並且經常給你食物。』 郁多羅對國王說:『我遵從您的教誨,會誦讀的。』 當時,波斯匿王聽了佛所說的話,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離開了。 當時,郁多羅知道國王離開后,來到世尊面前,接受了所說的偈語,在國王吃飯的時候,每次吃飯都為他誦讀,並對國王說:『正如佛世尊、如來、應供、正等正覺所知所見,而說了這個偈語:』 『人應當自我約束, 每次吃飯要知道節制, 這樣各種感受就會減少, 能夠安穩消化並保持長壽。』 就這樣,波斯匿王漸漸地到了後來,身體變得纖細,容貌端正,在樓閣上,向著佛陀居住的地方合掌恭敬,右膝著地,三次說道:『頂禮世尊、如來、應供、正等正覺,頂禮世尊、如來、應供、正等正覺,您賜予我現世的利益、後世的利益、現世和後世的利益,因為我吃飯知道節制。』 (一一五一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國。 當時,有一個年輕的阿修羅來到佛陀所在的地方,在佛陀面前說粗魯不善的話,嗔罵呵斥。

English version The king said to the Buddha, 'Yes, Venerable One! I am troubled by my body being too fat, and I often feel ashamed and disgusted because of my excessive fatness.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse: 'One should restrain oneself, Knowing moderation in each meal, Then various feelings will diminish, One can digest peacefully and maintain longevity.' At that time, there was a young man named Uttara, sitting in the assembly. Then, King Pasenadi said to Uttara, 'Can you receive the verse just spoken by the World Honored One and recite it for me at each meal? If you can do this, I will reward you with one hundred thousand gold coins and provide you with food regularly.' Uttara said to the king, 'I will follow your instructions and recite it.' At that time, King Pasenadi, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and departed after paying his respects. Then, Uttara, knowing that the king had left, went before the World Honored One, received the verse, and recited it for the king at each meal, saying to the king, 'As the Buddha, the World Honored One, the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One knows and sees, he spoke this verse:' 'One should restrain oneself, Knowing moderation in each meal, Then various feelings will diminish, One can digest peacefully and maintain longevity.' In this way, King Pasenadi gradually became slender, his appearance became handsome, and from his pavilion, he faced the place where the Buddha resided, joined his palms in reverence, knelt on his right knee, and said three times, 'Homage to the World Honored One, the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, homage to the World Honored One, the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, who grants me benefits in this life, benefits in the next life, and benefits in both this life and the next, because I know moderation in eating.' (1151) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in Shravasti. At that time, a young Asura came to where the Buddha was, and in front of the Buddha, he spoke rude and unkind words, scolding and rebuking.


爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「不怒勝瞋恚,  不善以善伏,  惠施伏慳貪,  真言壞妄語。  不罵亦不虐,  常住賢聖心,  惡人住瞋恨,  不動如山石。  起瞋恚能持,  勝制狂馬車,  我說善御士,  非彼攝繩者。」

時,年少阿修羅白佛言:「瞿曇!我今悔過,如愚如癡,不辯不善,于瞿曇面前訶罵毀辱。」如是懺悔已,時,阿修羅聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一五二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有年少賓耆迦婆羅門來詣佛所,於世尊面前作粗惡不善語,瞋罵呵責。

爾時,世尊告年少賓耆迦:「若於一時吉星之日,汝當會諸宗親眷屬耶?」

賓耆白佛:「如是,瞿曇!」

佛告賓耆:「若汝宗親不受食者,當如之何?」

賓耆白佛:「不受食者,食還屬我。」

佛告賓耆:「汝亦如是,如來面前作粗惡不善語,罵辱呵責,我竟不受,如此罵者,應當屬誰?」

賓耆白佛:「如是,瞿曇!彼雖不受,且以相贈,則便是與

現代漢語譯本: 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『不以怒勝過嗔怒,用善來降伏不善,', 『用佈施來降伏慳貪,用真誠的言語來破除虛妄的言語。』 『不謾罵也不虐待,常保持賢聖的心,』 『惡人住在嗔恨中,(而賢者)不動搖如山石。』 『能控制住升起的嗔怒,勝過駕馭狂奔的馬車,』 『我說這是善於調御的人,而不是那些僅僅拉住韁繩的人。』 當時,年輕的阿修羅對佛說:『瞿曇!我現在懺悔過錯,我像愚人一樣癡迷,不能分辨善惡,在瞿曇面前謾罵毀辱。』這樣懺悔之後,當時,阿修羅聽了佛所說的話,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。

(一一五二)

我聽聞是這樣的:

一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位年輕的賓耆迦婆羅門來到佛陀所在的地方,在世尊面前說了粗暴惡劣不善的話,嗔罵呵責。

當時,世尊告訴年輕的賓耆迦:『如果在某個吉星高照的日子,你會邀請你的宗親眷屬嗎?』

賓耆回答佛說:『是的,瞿曇!』

佛告訴賓耆:『如果你的宗親不接受食物,那會怎麼樣呢?』

賓耆回答佛說:『如果不接受食物,食物還是歸我。』

佛告訴賓耆:『你也一樣,你在如來面前說了粗暴惡劣不善的話,謾罵呵責,我最終沒有接受,那麼這些謾罵應該歸誰呢?』

賓耆回答佛說:『是的,瞿曇!雖然您不接受,但如果以相贈的方式,那便是給了我。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'Not by anger is anger overcome, by good is evil subdued,' 'By generosity is avarice overcome, by truth is falsehood destroyed.' 'Neither scolding nor abusing, always dwelling in the heart of the wise and noble,' 'The wicked dwell in hatred, (while the wise) remain unmoved like a mountain of stone.' 'To control rising anger, is to overcome a runaway chariot,' 'I say this is a well-controlled person, not those who merely hold the reins.' Then, the young Asura said to the Buddha: 'Gautama! I now repent my faults, I was like a fool, unable to distinguish good from evil, and I cursed and insulted you in front of Gautama.' After this repentance, the Asura, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed and departed.

(1152)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.

At that time, a young Brahmin named Pingika came to where the Buddha was, and in front of the World Honored One, spoke harsh, evil, and unkind words, scolding and rebuking.

Then, the World Honored One said to the young Pingika: 'If on an auspicious day, would you invite your relatives and family?'

Pingika replied to the Buddha: 'Yes, Gautama!'

The Buddha said to Pingika: 'If your relatives do not accept the food, what would happen?'

Pingika replied to the Buddha: 'If they do not accept the food, the food still belongs to me.'

The Buddha said to Pingika: 'It is the same with you, you spoke harsh, evil, and unkind words, scolding and rebuking in front of the Tathagata, but I ultimately did not accept them, so to whom do these scoldings belong?'

Pingika replied to the Buddha: 'Yes, Gautama! Although you do not accept them, if they are given as a gift, then they are given to me.'


。」

佛告賓耆:「如是不名更相贈遺,何得便為相與?」

賓耆白佛:「云何名為更相贈遺,名為相與?云何名不受相贈遺,不名相與?」

佛告賓耆:「若當如是罵則報罵,瞋則報瞋,打則報打,斗則報鬥,名相贈遺,名為相與,若復,賓耆!罵不報罵,瞋不報瞋,打不報打,斗不報鬥,若如是者,非相贈遺,不名相與。」

賓耆白佛:「瞿曇!我聞古昔婆羅門長老宿重行道大師所說:『如來、應、等正覺,面前罵辱,瞋恚訶責,不瞋不怒。』而今瞿曇有瞋恚耶?」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「無瞋何有瞋,  正命以調伏,  正智心解脫,  慧者無有瞋。  以瞋報瞋者,  是則為惡人,  不以瞋報瞋,  臨敵伏難伏。  不瞋勝於瞋,  三偈如前說。」

爾時,年少賓耆白佛言:「悔過!瞿曇!如愚如癡,不辯不善,而於沙門瞿曇面前粗惡不善語,瞋罵呵責。」聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一五三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國東園鹿子母講堂。

爾時,世尊晡時從禪覺,詣講堂東蔭蔭中,露地經行。

時,有健罵婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門來詣佛所,世尊面前作粗惡不善語,罵詈呵責

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴賓耆:『像這樣不算是互相贈送,怎麼能說是互相給予呢?』 賓耆問佛:『什麼叫做互相贈送,叫做互相給予?什麼叫做不接受互相贈送,不叫做互相給予?』 佛陀告訴賓耆:『如果像這樣,罵就回罵,嗔就回嗔,打就回打,斗就回鬥,這叫做互相贈送,叫做互相給予。如果,賓耆!罵不回罵,嗔不回嗔,打不回打,斗不回鬥,像這樣,就不算互相贈送,不叫做互相給予。』 賓耆問佛:『瞿曇!我聽說古代婆羅門長老、修行有素的大師們說:『如來、應供、正等覺,面對辱罵、嗔怒呵斥,都不會嗔怒。』而現在瞿曇您有嗔怒嗎?』 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『沒有嗔恨哪裡會有嗔恨, 以正命來調伏, 以正智心解脫, 有智慧的人沒有嗔恨。 以嗔恨報復嗔恨的人, 那就是惡人, 不以嗔恨報復嗔恨, 面對敵人也能降伏難降伏的。 不嗔恨勝過嗔恨, 三偈如前所說。』 當時,年輕的賓耆對佛說:『我懺悔!瞿曇!我像愚癡一樣,不辨善惡,在沙門瞿曇面前說了粗惡不善的話,嗔罵呵斥。』聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離開了。 (一一五三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國東園鹿子母講堂。 當時,世尊在下午從禪定中醒來,來到講堂東邊的樹蔭下,在空地上經行。 當時,有一個善於謾罵的婆羅門豆婆遮來到佛陀所在的地方,在世尊面前說了粗惡不善的話,謾罵呵斥。

English version The Buddha told Bingqi: 'Such is not called mutual gifting, how can it be called mutual giving?' Bingqi asked the Buddha: 'What is called mutual gifting, called mutual giving? What is called not accepting mutual gifting, not called mutual giving?' The Buddha told Bingqi: 'If it is like this, if you are cursed, you curse back; if you are angry, you are angry back; if you are hit, you hit back; if you fight, you fight back. This is called mutual gifting, called mutual giving. If, Bingqi! You do not curse back when cursed, do not get angry when angry, do not hit back when hit, do not fight back when fought, like this, it is not called mutual gifting, not called mutual giving.' Bingqi asked the Buddha: 'Gautama! I have heard that ancient Brahmin elders and masters who have practiced diligently say: 'The Tathagata, the worthy one, the fully enlightened one, when facing insults, anger, and scolding, will not be angry.' But now, do you, Gautama, have anger?' At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse: 'Where there is no anger, how can there be anger, With right livelihood, one subdues, With right wisdom, the mind is liberated, The wise have no anger. Those who repay anger with anger, They are evil people, Not repaying anger with anger, Facing the enemy, one can subdue the unsubduable. Not being angry is better than being angry, The three verses are as said before.' At that time, the young Bingqi said to the Buddha: 'I repent! Gautama! I was like a fool, not distinguishing good from evil, and spoke coarse and unkind words, cursing and scolding in front of the Shramana Gautama.' Having heard what the Buddha said, he rejoiced and followed, bowed, and left. (1153) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Deer Mother Lecture Hall in the East Garden of Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One, in the afternoon, awoke from meditation and went to the shade of the trees east of the lecture hall, walking in the open space. At that time, a Brahmin named Doupozhai, who was good at cursing, came to where the Buddha was, and in front of the World Honored One, spoke coarse and unkind words, cursing and scolding.


。世尊經行,彼隨世尊後行。世尊經行已竟,住於一處,彼婆羅門言:「瞿曇伏耶?」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「勝者更增怨,  伏者臥不安,  勝伏二俱舍,  是得安隱眠。」

婆羅門白言:「瞿曇!我今悔過,如愚如癡,不辯不善,何于瞿曇面前作粗惡不善語,罵詈呵責?」

時,婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,複道而去。

(一一五四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國東園鹿子母講堂,世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。時,健罵婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門遙見世尊,作粗惡不善語,瞋罵呵責,把土坌佛。時,有逆風,還吹其土,反自坌身。

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「若人無瞋恨,  罵辱以加者,  清凈無結垢,  彼惡還歸己,  猶如土坌彼,  逆風還自污。」

時,彼婆羅門白佛言:「悔過!瞿曇!如愚如癡,不善不辯,何于瞿曇面前粗惡不善語,瞋罵呵責?」

時,婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,複道而去。

(一一五五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,至舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有婆羅門名曰違義,聞沙門瞿曇從拘薩羅國人間遊行,至舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 世尊在經行時,那位婆羅門跟在世尊身後。世尊經行完畢,停留在某處,那位婆羅門問道:『瞿曇,你被制伏了嗎?』 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『勝者只會增加怨恨,被制伏者則寢食難安,捨棄勝負雙方,才能獲得安穩的睡眠。』 婆羅門說道:『瞿曇,我如今悔過,我真是愚蠢又糊塗,不能分辨善惡,竟然在瞿曇面前說出粗暴惡劣的話語,謾罵呵斥。』 當時,婆羅門聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,然後離開了。 (一一五四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國東園的鹿子母講堂。世尊早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。當時,健罵婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門遠遠看見世尊,就說出粗暴惡劣的話語,瞋怒謾罵呵斥,還把泥土撒向佛陀。當時,有逆風,把泥土吹了回去,反而弄髒了他自己。 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『如果有人沒有瞋恨,用謾罵侮辱加於他,那人清凈沒有污垢,那些惡行反而會回到自己身上,就像把泥土撒向別人,逆風反而會弄髒自己。』 當時,那位婆羅門對佛陀說:『我悔過!瞿曇!我真是愚蠢又糊塗,不能分辨善惡,竟然在瞿曇面前說出粗暴惡劣的話語,瞋怒謾罵呵斥。』 當時,婆羅門聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,然後離開了。 (一一五五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀在拘薩羅國人間游化,到達舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫違義的婆羅門,聽說沙門瞿曇從拘薩羅國人間游化,到達舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version The Blessed One was walking, and that Brahmin followed behind the Blessed One. When the Blessed One had finished walking and was standing in one place, that Brahmin said, 'Gotama, are you subdued?' Then, the Blessed One spoke this verse: 'The victor increases enmity, the subdued sleeps uneasily; abandoning both victory and defeat, one obtains peaceful sleep.' The Brahmin said, 'Gotama, I now repent, I was foolish and ignorant, unable to distinguish good from evil, for speaking harsh and evil words, scolding and rebuking in front of Gotama.' Then, the Brahmin, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, and then departed. (1154) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the Eastern Park of Savatthi. The Blessed One, in the morning, having dressed and taken his bowl, entered Savatthi for alms. Then, the abusive Bharadvaja Brahmin, seeing the Blessed One from afar, spoke harsh and evil words, angrily scolding and rebuking, and threw dirt at the Buddha. At that time, there was a headwind, which blew the dirt back, soiling himself. Then, the Blessed One spoke this verse: 'If a person is without hatred, and insults are added to him, that person is pure and without defilement, the evil returns to the doer, like throwing dirt at another, the headwind soils oneself.' Then, that Brahmin said to the Buddha, 'I repent! Gotama! I was foolish and ignorant, unable to distinguish good from evil, for speaking harsh and evil words, angrily scolding and rebuking in front of Gotama.' Then, the Brahmin, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, and then departed. (1155) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering among the people of Kosala, and arrived at the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Savatthi. Then, there was a Brahmin named Virodha, who heard that the ascetic Gotama had wandered among the people of Kosala and arrived at the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Savatthi.


。聞已,作是念:「我當往詣沙門瞿曇所,聞所說法,當反其義。」作是念已,往詣精舍,至世尊所。

爾時,世尊無量眷屬圍繞說法。世尊遙見違義婆羅門來,即默然住。

違義婆羅門白佛言:「瞿曇說法,樂欲聞之!」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「違義婆羅門,  未能解深義,  內懷嫉恚心,  欲為法留難。  調伏違反心,  諸不信樂意,  息諸障礙垢,  則解深妙說。」

時,違義婆羅門作是念:「沙門瞿曇已知我心。」聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起而去。

(一一五六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。

時,有不害婆羅門來詣佛所,白佛言:「世尊!我名不害,為稱實不?」

佛告婆羅門:「如是稱實者,若身不害,若口不害,若心不害,則為稱實。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「若心不殺害,  口意亦俱然,  是則為離害,  不恐怖眾生。」

佛說此經已,不害婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,複道而去。

(一一五七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入王舍城乞食,次第行乞至火與婆羅門舍

現代漢語譯本:他聽聞此事後,心想:『我應當去拜訪沙門瞿曇,聽他所說的法,然後反駁他的義理。』 這樣想著,他就前往精舍,來到世尊所在之處。 當時,世尊被無數的眷屬圍繞著說法。世尊遠遠地看見違義婆羅門來了,就默然不語。 違義婆羅門對佛說:『瞿曇,請您說法,我樂意聽聞!』 這時,世尊就說了偈語: 『違義婆羅門,未能理解深奧的義理,內心懷著嫉妒和憤怒,想要為佛法設定障礙。調伏你那違逆的心,以及不信樂的意念,消除一切障礙和污垢,才能理解這深奧微妙的說法。』 當時,違義婆羅門心想:『沙門瞿曇已經知道我的心思了。』 聽了佛所說的話,他歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離開了。 (一一五六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。世尊早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。 當時,有一位名叫不害的婆羅門來到佛陀所在之處,對佛說:『世尊!我名叫不害,這名字元合實際嗎?』 佛告訴婆羅門:『如果身不傷害,口不傷害,心不傷害,那就符合實際。』 這時,世尊就說了偈語: 『如果內心不殺害,口和意念也同樣如此,這就是遠離傷害,不恐嚇眾生。』 佛說完這經后,不害婆羅門聽了佛所說的話,歡喜讚歎,又離開了。 (一一五七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。世尊早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入王舍城乞食,依次乞食來到火與婆羅門的住所。

English version: Having heard this, he thought: 'I should go to the ascetic Gautama, listen to his teachings, and then refute his doctrines.' With this thought, he went to the monastery and arrived where the World-Honored One was. At that time, the World-Honored One was surrounded by countless followers, expounding the Dharma. The World-Honored One saw the Brahmin of Contrary Views coming from afar and remained silent. The Brahmin of Contrary Views said to the Buddha: 'Gautama, please teach the Dharma, I am eager to hear it!' Then, the World-Honored One spoke in verse: 'Brahmin of Contrary Views, you have not understood the profound meaning, harboring jealousy and anger in your heart, wanting to create obstacles for the Dharma. Subdue your contrary mind and your unbelieving thoughts, eliminate all obstacles and defilements, then you will understand this profound and subtle teaching.' At that time, the Brahmin of Contrary Views thought: 'The ascetic Gautama already knows my thoughts.' Having heard what the Buddha said, he rejoiced and praised, then rose from his seat and departed. (1156) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. The World-Honored One, in the morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered the city of Shravasti to beg for alms. At that time, a Brahmin named Not-Harming came to where the Buddha was and said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! My name is Not-Harming, is this name true to reality?' The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'If the body does not harm, if the mouth does not harm, if the mind does not harm, then it is true to reality.' Then, the World-Honored One spoke in verse: 'If the heart does not kill, and the mouth and mind are likewise, then this is to be free from harm, not to frighten living beings.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Brahmin Not-Harming, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, and then departed again. (1157) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. The World-Honored One, in the morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered the city of Rajagriha to beg for alms, going from house to house until he reached the dwelling of the Brahmin Fire and.


火與婆羅門遙見佛來,即具眾美飲食,滿缽與之。

如是二日、三日,乞食復至其舍。

火與婆羅門遙見佛來,作是念:「禿頭沙門何故數來,貪美食耶?」

爾時,世尊知火與婆羅門心念已,即說偈言:

「王天日日雨,  田夫日夜耕,  數數殖種子,  是田數收谷。  如人數懷妊,  乳牛數懷犢,  數數有求者,  則能數惠施。  數數惠施故,  常得大名稱,  數數棄死屍,  數數哭悲戀。  數數生數死,  數數憂悲苦,  數數以火燒,  數數諸蟲食。  若得賢聖道,  不數受諸有,  亦不數生死,  不數憂悲苦。  不數數火燒,  不數諸蟲食。」

時,火與婆羅門聞佛說偈,還得信心,復以種種飲食滿缽與之,世尊不受,以因說偈而施故,復說偈言:

「因為說偈法,  不應受飲食,  當觀察自法,  說法不受食。  婆羅門當知,  斯則凈命活,  應以余供養,  純凈大仙人。  已盡諸有漏,  穢法悉已斷,  供養以飲食,  于其良福田。  欲求福德者,  則我田為良

現代漢語譯本 火神和婆羅門遠遠看見佛陀走來,就準備了各種精美的食物,盛滿缽盂送給他。 像這樣過了兩天、三天,佛陀再次來到他們家乞食。 火神和婆羅門遠遠看見佛陀走來,心裡想:『這個禿頭沙門為什麼屢次前來,難道是貪圖美食嗎?』 這時,世尊知道火神和婆羅門的心思,就說了偈語: 『天王每天降雨,農夫日夜耕作,多次播種,田地才能多次收穫穀物。 就像人多次懷孕,母牛多次生犢一樣,多次有人求施捨,才能多次進行佈施。 因為多次佈施,才能常常獲得好的名聲,多次拋棄死屍,多次哭泣悲傷。 多次出生多次死亡,多次憂愁悲苦,多次被火焚燒,多次被蟲子啃食。 如果證得賢聖之道,就不會多次承受輪迴,也不會多次經歷生死,不會多次憂愁悲苦。 不會多次被火焚燒,不會多次被蟲子啃食。』 當時,火神和婆羅門聽了佛陀的偈語,重新生起信心,又用各種食物盛滿缽盂送給佛陀,世尊沒有接受,因為他們是因為聽了偈語才佈施的,所以又說了偈語: 『因為聽了偈語才佈施,不應該接受飲食,應當觀察自己的修行,說法的人不應該接受食物。 婆羅門應當知道,這才是清凈的活命方式,應當用其他的供養,來供養純凈的大仙人。 已經斷盡所有煩惱,污穢的法都已斷除,用飲食供養他們,才是真正的福田。 想要尋求福德的人,我的身體就是良田。』

English version The Fire God and the Brahmin, seeing the Buddha approaching from afar, prepared various exquisite foods and filled a bowl to offer him. Thus, after two or three days, the Buddha came to their house again for alms. The Fire God and the Brahmin, seeing the Buddha approaching from afar, thought: 'Why does this bald-headed Shramana come so often? Is he greedy for delicious food?' At that time, the World Honored One, knowing the thoughts of the Fire God and the Brahmin, spoke a verse: 'The king of heaven rains daily, the farmer plows day and night, planting seeds repeatedly, so the field can harvest grain repeatedly. Just as a person conceives repeatedly, and a cow bears calves repeatedly, those who seek alms repeatedly enable repeated giving. Because of repeated giving, one often gains a good reputation, repeatedly discarding corpses, repeatedly weeping in sorrow. Repeatedly born and repeatedly dying, repeatedly experiencing sorrow and suffering, repeatedly burned by fire, repeatedly eaten by insects. If one attains the path of the wise and holy, one will not repeatedly endure rebirth, nor repeatedly experience birth and death, nor repeatedly experience sorrow and suffering. One will not be repeatedly burned by fire, nor repeatedly eaten by insects.' At that time, the Fire God and the Brahmin, hearing the Buddha's verse, regained faith and again filled a bowl with various foods to offer to the Buddha. The World Honored One did not accept it, because they had given alms because of hearing the verse, so he spoke another verse: 'Because of giving after hearing the verse, one should not accept food. One should observe one's own practice; those who teach the Dharma should not accept food. Brahmin, you should know that this is the way to live a pure life. You should use other offerings to offer to the pure great sage. Having exhausted all defilements, having cut off all impure dharmas, offering them food is the true field of merit. Those who seek merit, my body is a good field.'


。」

火與婆羅門白佛:「今以此食,應著何所?」

佛告婆羅門:「我不見諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人有能食此信施,令身安樂。汝持是食去棄于無蟲水中,及少生草地。」

時,婆羅門即以此食持著無蟲水中,水即煙出,沸聲啾啾;譬如鐵丸燒令火色,擲著水中,水即煙起,沸聲啾啾,亦復如是。婆羅門持此飲食著水中,水即煙出,沸聲啾啾,於時火與婆羅門嘆言:「甚奇!瞿曇!大德大力,能令此食而作神變。」

時,火與婆羅門因此飯食神變,得信敬心,稽首佛足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我今可得於正法中出家、受具足,修梵行不?」

佛告婆羅門:「汝今可得於正法中出家、受具足。」

彼即出家已,作是思惟:「所以族姓子剃除發須,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道……。」乃至得阿羅漢,心善解脫。

(一一五八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,舍衛國中婆肆吒婆羅門女信佛、法、僧,歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧。于佛、法、僧已離狐疑,于苦習盡道亦離疑惑;見諦得果,得無間慧。其夫是婆羅豆婆遮種姓婆羅門

現代漢語譯本 火與婆羅門問佛陀:『現在這食物,應該放在哪裡呢?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『我看不見諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人有誰能吃下這信徒佈施的食物,而使身體安樂。你拿著這食物丟到沒有蟲的水中,以及少有草生長的地方。』 當時,婆羅門就拿著這食物丟到沒有蟲的水中,水立刻冒出煙,發出沸騰的聲音;就像燒紅的鐵丸,丟到水中,水立刻冒出煙,發出沸騰的聲音,也是這樣。婆羅門把這食物丟到水中,水立刻冒出煙,發出沸騰的聲音,這時火與婆羅門感嘆道:『太神奇了!瞿曇!您真是大德大力,能讓這食物產生如此神變。』 當時,火與婆羅門因為這飯食的神變,產生了信敬之心,向佛陀的腳稽首,退到一旁站立,對佛陀說:『世尊!我現在可以在正法中出家、受具足戒,修習梵行嗎?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『你現在可以在正法中出家、受具足戒。』 他出家后,這樣思惟:『為什麼族姓子要剃除頭髮鬍鬚,穿上袈裟,以正信離開家庭,出家學道……』,乃至證得阿羅漢果,心得到徹底解脫。 (一一五八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,舍衛國中的婆肆吒婆羅門女,信仰佛、法、僧,皈依佛、皈依法、皈依比丘僧。對於佛、法、僧已經沒有了疑惑,對於苦、集、滅、道也消除了疑惑;見諦得果,獲得無間慧。她的丈夫是婆羅豆婆遮種姓的婆羅門。

English version The Fire and Brahmin asked the Buddha, 'Where should this food be placed?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'I do not see any gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, deities, or people in the world who can eat this offering of faith and find comfort in their bodies. Take this food and discard it in water without insects, and in a place where little grass grows.' At that time, the Brahmin took the food and placed it in water without insects, and the water immediately smoked and made a bubbling sound; just like a red-hot iron ball, when thrown into water, the water immediately smokes and makes a bubbling sound, it was the same. When the Brahmin placed the food in the water, the water immediately smoked and made a bubbling sound, at which point the Fire and Brahmin exclaimed, 'How amazing! Gautama! You are of great virtue and power, able to make this food perform such a miraculous transformation.' At that time, the Fire and Brahmin, because of the miraculous transformation of this food, developed faith and respect, bowed at the Buddha's feet, stepped aside, and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable One! May I now be ordained in the Right Dharma, receive full ordination, and practice the holy life?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'You may now be ordained in the Right Dharma and receive full ordination.' After he was ordained, he thought, 'Why do sons of good families shave their hair and beards, wear the robes, with true faith leave their homes, and go forth to learn the Way…', until he attained Arhatship, and his mind was completely liberated. (1158) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, a Brahmin woman named Vasishtha in Shravasti had faith in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, and took refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Bhikkhu Sangha. She had no more doubts about the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, and she had also eliminated doubts about suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path; she saw the truth and attained the fruit, gaining unobstructed wisdom. Her husband was a Brahmin of the Bharadvaja lineage.


。每至左右所為作時,有小得失,即稱南無佛,向如來所住方面,隨方合掌,三說是言:「南無多陀阿伽度、阿羅呵、三藐三佛陀,身純金色,圓光一尋,方身圓滿如尼拘律樹,善說妙法,牟尼之尊,仙人上首,是我大師!」

時,夫婆羅門聞之,瞋恚不喜,語其婦言:「為鬼著耶?無有此義,舍諸三明大德婆羅門,而稱歎彼禿頭沙門。黑闇之分,世所不稱。我今當往共汝大師論議,足知勝如。」

婦語夫言:「不見諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、諸神、世人,能共世尊——如來、應、等正覺,金色之身,圓光一尋,如尼拘律樹圓滿之身,言說微妙,仙人上首,我之大師——共論議者。然今婆羅門且往,自可知之!」

時,婆羅門即往詣佛,面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面。而說偈言:

「為殺於何等,  而得安隱眠?  為殺於何等,  令心得無憂?  為殺於何等,  瞿曇所稱歎?」

爾時,世尊知婆羅門心之所念,而說偈言:

「殺于瞋恨者,  而得安隱眠,  殺于瞋恚者,  而心得無憂。  瞋恚為毒本,  能害甘種子,  能害於彼者,  賢聖所稱歎

現代漢語譯本:每當(她)做事情的時候,即使有小的得失,就念『南無佛』,朝著如來所在的方向,隨方向合掌,三次說:『南無多陀阿伽度、阿羅呵、三藐三佛陀,身色純金,圓光一尋,身形方正圓滿如尼拘律樹,善說妙法,牟尼之尊,仙人上首,是我的大師!』 當時,那位婆羅門聽到這些,生氣不高興,對他的妻子說:『是被鬼附身了嗎?沒有這樣的道理,捨棄那些精通三明的大德婆羅門,卻稱讚那個禿頭沙門。這是黑暗的行徑,世人所不稱道。我現在就去和你的大師辯論,足以知道誰更勝一籌。』 妻子對丈夫說:『我沒見過諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、諸神、世人,能和世尊——如來、應、等正覺,金色之身,圓光一尋,如尼拘律樹般圓滿的身形,言說微妙,仙人上首,我的大師——辯論的。不過現在婆羅門可以去,自己就能知道了!』 當時,婆羅門就去拜見佛陀,互相問候慰勞之後,退坐在一旁。然後說了偈語: 『爲了殺死什麼,才能安穩入睡?爲了殺死什麼,才能讓內心沒有憂愁?爲了殺死什麼,是瞿曇所稱讚的?』 這時,世尊知道婆羅門心中所想,就說了偈語: 『殺死嗔恨,才能安穩入睡;殺死嗔恚,才能讓內心沒有憂愁。嗔恚是毒的根源,能損害甘美的種子,能傷害嗔恚的人,是賢聖所稱讚的。』

English version: Whenever (she) did things, even if there were small gains or losses, she would recite 'Namo Buddha', facing the direction where the Tathagata resided, and with her palms together, she would say three times: 'Namo Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, whose body is pure gold, whose halo is one fathom, whose body is square and perfect like a banyan tree, who speaks the wonderful Dharma, the honored Muni, the foremost of the immortals, is my master!' At that time, the Brahmin, hearing this, became angry and displeased, and said to his wife: 'Is she possessed by a ghost? There is no such reason, abandoning those great virtuous Brahmins who are proficient in the three knowledges, yet praising that bald-headed Shramana. This is a dark practice, not praised by the world. I will now go and debate with your master, and it will be enough to know who is superior.' The wife said to her husband: 'I have not seen any gods, demons, Brahmas, Shramanas, Brahmins, deities, or people in the world who can debate with the World Honored One—the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, whose body is golden, whose halo is one fathom, whose body is as perfect as a banyan tree, whose speech is subtle, the foremost of the immortals, my master. But now the Brahmin can go, and you will know for yourself!' At that time, the Brahmin went to see the Buddha, and after greeting and comforting each other, he sat down to one side. Then he spoke a verse: 'By killing what, can one sleep peacefully? By killing what, can one's heart be without sorrow? By killing what, is it praised by Gautama?' At this time, the World Honored One, knowing what the Brahmin was thinking, spoke a verse: 'By killing anger, one can sleep peacefully; by killing hatred, one's heart can be without sorrow. Hatred is the root of poison, it can harm the sweet seeds, and one who harms hatred is praised by the wise and holy.'


。  若能害彼者,  其心得無憂?」

時,婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門聞佛所說,示、教、照、喜,次第說法,謂說施,說戒,說生天法,說欲味著為災患煩惱,清凈、出要、遠離,隨順福利清凈,分別廣說;譬如清凈白㲲,易為染色。如是,婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門即于座上,於四聖諦得無閡等,所謂苦、集、滅、道。

是婆羅門見法、得法、知法、入法,度諸疑惑,不由他度,于正法、律得無所畏。即從座起,偏露右肩,合掌白佛:「已度,世尊!已度,善逝!我今歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧已,盡其壽命為優婆塞,證知我!」

時,婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去,還歸自家。

其婦優婆夷遙見夫來,見已,白言:「已與如來、應、等正覺——純金色身,圓光一尋,如尼拘律樹圓滿之身,妙說之上,仙人之首,大牟尼尊,為我大師——共論議耶?」

其夫答言:「我未嘗見諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、諸神、世人,有能與如來、應、等正覺——真金色身,圓光一尋,如尼拘律樹圓滿之身,妙說之上,諸仙之首,牟尼之尊,汝之大師——共論議也。汝今與我作好法衣,我持至世尊所出家學道。」

時,婦悉以鮮潔白㲲,令作法衣

現代漢語譯本:如果能夠傷害他人,他的內心怎麼會沒有憂愁呢? 當時,婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門聽聞佛陀所說,佛陀以開示、教導、啓發、歡喜的方式,依次說法,講述佈施,講述持戒,講述昇天之法,講述慾望的滋味是災禍煩惱,講述清凈、解脫、遠離,順應福利清凈,分別廣泛地解說;就像潔白的布匹,容易被染色一樣。這樣,婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門當即在座位上,對於四聖諦獲得了無礙的理解,也就是苦、集、滅、道。 這位婆羅門見到了法,得到了法,理解了法,進入了法,度脫了各種疑惑,不再需要他人引導,對於正法和戒律不再有任何畏懼。他立即從座位上站起來,袒露右肩,合掌對佛說:『我已經度脫了,世尊!我已經度脫了,善逝!我現在皈依佛、皈依法、皈依比丘僧,直到生命結束都將作為優婆塞,請您證明我!』 當時,婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去,回到自己家中。 他的妻子優婆夷遠遠地看見丈夫回來,看見后,問道:『你和如來、應供、正等正覺——擁有純金色身,週身光芒一尋,如同尼拘律樹般圓滿的身軀,善於說法,是仙人之首,偉大的牟尼尊,我的大師——一起討論了嗎?』 他的丈夫回答說:『我從未見過諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、諸神、世人,有誰能與如來、應供、正等正覺——擁有真金色身,週身光芒一尋,如同尼拘律樹般圓滿的身軀,善於說法,是諸仙之首,牟尼之尊,你的大師——一起討論。你現在為我製作一件好的法衣,我將拿著它去世尊那裡出家學道。』 當時,他的妻子用潔白的布匹,為他製作了法衣。

English version: 'If one is able to harm others, how can their heart be without sorrow?' At that time, the Brahmin Bharadvaja, having heard what the Buddha had said, was shown, taught, illuminated, and gladdened. The Buddha expounded the Dharma in sequence, speaking of giving, of morality, of the path to heaven, of the dangers and troubles of attachment to desires, of purity, of liberation, of detachment, of the benefits of purity, explaining them in detail. Just as a clean white cloth is easily dyed, so too, the Brahmin Bharadvaja, right there in his seat, attained unobstructed understanding of the Four Noble Truths, namely suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path. This Brahmin saw the Dharma, attained the Dharma, understood the Dharma, entered the Dharma, transcended all doubts, no longer needing guidance from others, and became fearless in the true Dharma and discipline. He immediately rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'I have crossed over, O Lord! I have crossed over, O Blessed One! I now take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha of monks. I will be a lay disciple for the rest of my life. Please acknowledge me!' Then, the Brahmin Bharadvaja, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and was delighted. He bowed and departed, returning to his own home. His wife, the laywoman, saw her husband coming from afar. Upon seeing him, she asked: 'Have you discussed with the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One—whose body is pure gold, whose aura extends a fathom, whose form is as complete as a banyan tree, who is eloquent, the chief of sages, the great Muni, my teacher?' Her husband replied: 'I have never seen any gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, deities, or people in the world who could discuss with the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One—whose body is true gold, whose aura extends a fathom, whose form is as complete as a banyan tree, who is eloquent, the chief of sages, the Muni, your teacher. Now, make me a good Dharma robe, and I will take it to the Blessed One to ordain and study the Way.' At that time, his wife used clean white cloth to make a Dharma robe for him.


時,婆羅門持衣往詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白言:「世尊!我今可得於世尊法中出家學道,修梵行不?」

佛告婆羅門:「汝今可得於此法、律出家學道,修諸梵行。」

即出家已,獨靜思惟:「所以善男子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,出家學道……。」乃至得阿羅漢,心善解脫。

(一一五九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有魔瞿婆羅門來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!我於家中常行佈施,若一人來,施於一人;若二人、三人,乃至百千,悉皆施與。我如是施,得多福不?」

佛告婆羅門:「汝如是施,實得大福。所以者何?以於家中常行佈施,一人來乞,即施一人,二人、三人,乃至百千,悉皆施與故,即得大福。」

時,魔瞿婆羅門即說偈言:

「在家所為作,  佈施復大會,  因此惠施故,  欲求大功德。  今問于牟尼,  我之所應知,  同梵天所見,  為我分別說

現代漢語譯本 當時,一位婆羅門拿著衣服來到世尊那裡,向世尊頂禮,然後退到一旁站著,說道:『世尊!我現在可以在世尊的教法中出家修行,修習清凈的梵行嗎?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『你現在可以在這教法和戒律中出家修行,修習各種清凈的梵行。』 他出家后,獨自靜坐思索:『為什麼善男子要剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,出家修行……』,最終證得阿羅漢果,心得到徹底的解脫。

(一一五九)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位名叫魔瞿的婆羅門來到佛陀那裡,與世尊互相問候慰勞之後,退到一旁坐下,對佛陀說:『喬達摩!我在家中經常行佈施,如果來一個人,就佈施給一個人;如果來兩個人、三個人,乃至百千人,都全部佈施給他們。我這樣做佈施,能得到很多福報嗎?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『你這樣做佈施,確實能得到很大的福報。為什麼呢?因為你在家中經常行佈施,來一個人乞討,就佈施給一個人,來兩個人、三個人,乃至百千人,都全部佈施給他們,所以能得到很大的福報。』 當時,魔瞿婆羅門就說了偈語: 『在家中所做的事情,就是佈施和舉辦大會, 因為這樣的佈施,想要追求大的功德。 現在請問牟尼,我所應該知道的, 如同梵天所見,請為我分別解說。』

English version At that time, a Brahmin, holding robes, went to where the Blessed One was. He bowed down at the Blessed One's feet, stood to one side, and said: 'Venerable Sir, may I now go forth from the Blessed One's teaching, practice the holy life?' The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'You may go forth in this Dharma and Discipline, practice the various holy lives.' Having gone forth, he thought alone in seclusion: 'Why do good men shave their hair and beard, put on the robes, and go forth to practice the way...?' and eventually attained Arhatship, his mind well liberated.

(1159)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

Then, a Brahmin named Magha came to where the Buddha was. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the Blessed One, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha: 'Gotama, I regularly give alms in my home. If one person comes, I give to one person; if two, three, or even hundreds or thousands come, I give to all of them. By giving in this way, do I gain much merit?' The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'By giving in this way, you indeed gain much merit. Why is that? Because you regularly give alms in your home, if one person comes begging, you give to one person; if two, three, or even hundreds or thousands come, you give to all of them, therefore you gain much merit.' Then, the Brahmin Magha spoke these verses: 'What is done in the household, is giving and holding assemblies, Because of such giving, one seeks great merit. Now I ask the Muni, what I should know, As seen by Brahma, please explain it to me.'


。  云何為解脫,  勝妙之善趣?  云何修方便,  得生於梵世?  云何隨樂施,  生明勝梵天?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「施者設大會,  隨彼愛樂施,  歡喜凈信心,  攀緣善功德。  以其所建立,  求離諸過惡,  遠離於貪慾,  其心善解脫。  修習于慈心,  其功德無量,  況復加至誠,  廣施設大會。  若於其中間,  所得諸善心,  正向善解脫,  或余純善趣。  如是勝因緣,  得生於梵世,  如是之惠施,  其心平等故。  得生於梵世,  其壽命延長。」

時,魔瞿婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起而去。

(一一六〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有持金蓋、著舍勒導從婆羅門來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面。而說偈言:

「無非婆羅門,  所行為清凈,  剎利修苦行,  于靜亦復乖。  三典婆羅門,  是則為清凈,  如是清凈者,  不在餘眾生。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「不知清凈道,  及諸無上凈,  于余求靜者,  至竟無凈時

現代漢語譯本: 『什麼是解脫,什麼是殊勝美好的善趣?』 『如何修習方便法門,才能得以往生到梵天世界?』 『如何隨順自己的意願佈施,才能往生到光明殊勝的梵天?』 當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『佈施者舉辦盛大的法會,隨順他們所喜愛的佈施,』 『以歡喜清凈的信心,攀緣善的功德。』 『憑藉他們所建立的善行,尋求遠離各種過失和惡行,』 『遠離貪慾,他們的心就能得到很好的解脫。』 『修習慈悲心,其功德是無量的,』 『更何況加上至誠的心,廣泛地舉辦盛大的法會。』 『如果在這些法會期間,所產生的各種善心,』 『正確地導向善的解脫,或者其他純粹的善趣。』 『像這樣殊勝的因緣,就能往生到梵天世界,』 『像這樣的佈施,因為他們的心是平等的。』 『就能往生到梵天世界,他們的壽命也會延長。』 當時,魔瞿婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離開了。 (一一六〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位手持金蓋、穿著舍勒的婆羅門,帶著隨從來到佛陀所在的地方,與世尊互相問候慰勞之後,退坐在一旁。然後用偈語說道: 『不是婆羅門,所做的事情就是清凈的,』 『剎帝利修習苦行,在靜處也會出錯。』 『通曉三吠陀的婆羅門,才是清凈的,』 『像這樣清凈的人,不在其他眾生之中。』 當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『不知道清凈的道路,以及各種無上的清凈,』 『在其他地方尋求清凈的人,最終也不會有清凈的時候。』

English version: 'What is liberation, and what is the superior and wonderful good destination?' 'How should one cultivate expedient methods to be reborn in the Brahma world?' 'How can one give according to one's wishes and be reborn in the bright and superior Brahma heaven?' At that time, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'Those who give hold grand assemblies, giving according to what they love,' 'With joyful and pure faith, they aspire to good merits.' 'Relying on the good deeds they have established, they seek to be free from all faults and evils,' 'Free from greed, their minds can attain good liberation.' 'Cultivating loving-kindness, its merits are immeasurable,' 'How much more so when adding sincerity, extensively holding grand assemblies.' 'If during these assemblies, the various good thoughts that arise,' 'Are correctly directed towards good liberation, or other pure good destinations.' 'Such superior causes and conditions will lead to rebirth in the Brahma world,' 'Such giving, because their minds are equal.' 'Will lead to rebirth in the Brahma world, and their lifespans will be extended.' At that time, the Brahmin Magha, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, then rose from his seat and departed. (1160) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there was a Brahmin holding a golden parasol and wearing a shala, who came with his retinue to where the Buddha was. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the World Honored One, he sat down to one side. Then he spoke in verse: 'It is not a Brahmin, whose actions are pure,' 'A Kshatriya practicing asceticism, will also err in stillness.' 'A Brahmin who knows the three Vedas, is the one who is pure,' 'Such a pure person, is not among other beings.' At that time, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'Not knowing the path of purity, and all the supreme purities,' 'Those who seek purity elsewhere, will ultimately never have purity.'


。」

婆羅門白佛:「瞿曇說清凈道及無上清凈耶?何等為清凈道?何等為無上清凈?」

佛告婆羅門:「正見者為清凈道,正見修習多修習,斷貪慾、斷瞋恚、斷愚癡。若婆羅門貪慾永斷,瞋恚、愚癡永斷,一切煩惱永斷,是名無上清凈。正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,是名清凈道;正定修習多修習已,斷貪慾、斷瞋恚、斷愚癡。若婆羅門貪慾永斷,瞋恚、愚癡永斷,一切煩惱永斷,是名無上清凈。」

婆羅門白佛言:「瞿曇說清凈道、無上清凈耶?瞿曇!世務多事,今且辭還。」

佛告婆羅門:「宜知是時。」

持華蓋著舍勒導從婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起去。

(一一六一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,有異婆羅門來詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面。而說偈言:

「云何為尸羅?  云何正威儀?  云何為功德?  云何名為業?  成就何等法,  羅漢婆羅門?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「宿命憶念智,  見生天惡趣,  得諸受生盡,  牟尼明決定。  知心善解脫,  解脫一切貪,  具足於三明,  三明婆羅門

婆羅門問佛:『瞿曇,您說有清凈之道和無上清凈嗎?什麼是清凈之道?什麼是無上清凈?』 佛告訴婆羅門:『正見是清凈之道,修習正見,斷除貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡。如果婆羅門貪慾永斷,嗔恚、愚癡永斷,一切煩惱永斷,這就是無上清凈。正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,是清凈之道;修習正定,斷除貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡。如果婆羅門貪慾永斷,嗔恚、愚癡永斷,一切煩惱永斷,這就是無上清凈。』 婆羅門對佛說:『瞿曇,您說有清凈之道和無上清凈嗎?瞿曇!世俗事務繁多,我先告辭了。』 佛告訴婆羅門:『您應該知道什麼時候該離開。』 持華蓋、由舍勒引導的婆羅門聽了佛所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去。 (一一六一) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位婆羅門來到佛陀所在的地方,與世尊互相問候慰勞后,退坐在一旁。他用偈語說道: 『什麼是戒律?什麼是正確的威儀?什麼是功德?什麼叫做業?成就什麼樣的法,才能成為羅漢婆羅門?』 當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『擁有宿命通的智慧,能看見眾生在天道和惡道中輪迴,證得諸受的止息,牟尼的智慧明晰而堅定。 瞭解心已善得解脫,解脫一切貪慾,具足三明,這就是三明婆羅門。』

The Brahmin asked the Buddha: 'Gautama, do you speak of a path to purity and supreme purity? What is the path to purity? What is supreme purity?' The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'Right view is the path to purity. By cultivating right view, one eliminates greed, hatred, and delusion. If a Brahmin has permanently eliminated greed, hatred, and delusion, and all afflictions are permanently eliminated, that is called supreme purity. Right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration are the path to purity. By cultivating right concentration, one eliminates greed, hatred, and delusion. If a Brahmin has permanently eliminated greed, hatred, and delusion, and all afflictions are permanently eliminated, that is called supreme purity.' The Brahmin said to the Buddha: 'Gautama, do you speak of a path to purity and supreme purity? Gautama! I have many worldly affairs, so I will take my leave now.' The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'You should know when it is time to leave.' The Brahmin, holding a flower canopy and guided by Sharira, heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised it, and rose from his seat and departed. (1161) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, a certain Brahmin came to where the Buddha was, and after exchanging greetings and pleasantries with the World-Honored One, he sat down to one side. He then spoke in verse: 'What is morality? What is proper conduct? What is merit? What is called karma? By accomplishing what dharma does one become an Arhat Brahmin?' At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'Having the wisdom to recall past lives, seeing beings reborn in heavens and evil realms, attaining the cessation of all feelings, the Muni's wisdom is clear and firm. Knowing the mind is well liberated, liberated from all greed, possessing the three knowledges, that is the Brahmin with three knowledges.'


。」

佛說此經已,異婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起而去。

(一一六二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,尊者阿難從世尊后。

時,有二老男女,是其夫婦,年耆根熟,僂背如鉤,諸里巷頭,燒糞掃處,俱蹲向火。

世尊見彼二老夫婦,年耆愚老,僂背如鉤,俱蹲向火,猶如老鵠,欲心相視。見已,告尊者阿難:「汝見彼夫婦二人,年耆愚老,僂背如鉤,俱蹲向火,猶如老鵠,欲心相視不?」

阿難白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告阿難:「此二老夫婦,于年少時盛壯之身,勤求財物者,亦可得為舍衛城中第一富長者;若復剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道,精勤修習者,亦可得阿羅漢第一上果。于第二分盛壯之身,勤求財物,亦可得為舍衛城中第二富者;若復剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道者,亦可得阿那含果證。若於第三分中年之身,勤求財物,亦可得為舍衛城中第三富者;若剃鬚發,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道者,亦可得為斯陀含果證。彼於今日,年耆根熟,無有錢財,無有方便,無所堪能,不復堪能,若覓錢財,亦不能得勝過人法

現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,那位異婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去。 (一一六二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 世尊早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食,尊者阿難跟在世尊身後。 當時,有一對老夫婦,年老體衰,背彎如鉤,在各條巷子的路口,在燒糞掃的地方,一起蹲著烤火。 世尊看見那對老夫婦,年老愚鈍,背彎如鉤,一起蹲著烤火,像老鵠一樣,彼此用慾望的眼神看著對方。看見后,告訴尊者阿難:『你看見那對夫婦二人,年老愚鈍,背彎如鉤,一起蹲著烤火,像老鵠一樣,彼此用慾望的眼神看著對方嗎?』 阿難回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴阿難:『這對老夫婦,在年輕力壯的時候,如果勤奮求取財富,也可以成為舍衛城中最富有的長者;如果剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信出家修行,精勤修習,也可以證得阿羅漢的最高果位。在他們第二階段壯年的時候,如果勤奮求取財富,也可以成為舍衛城中第二富有的人;如果剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信出家修行,也可以證得阿那含果位。如果在他們第三階段中年的時候,如果勤奮求取財富,也可以成為舍衛城中第三富有的人;如果剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信出家修行,也可以證得斯陀含果位。他們到了今天,年老體衰,沒有錢財,沒有辦法,沒有什麼能力,再也沒有能力了,如果再去尋求錢財,也不能獲得勝過常人的成就。』

English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, that different Brahmin, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, and rose from his seat and departed. (1162) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. The World-Honored One, in the morning, having put on his robes and holding his bowl, entered the city of Shravasti to beg for alms, with the Venerable Ananda following behind the World-Honored One. At that time, there were two old people, a husband and wife, who were aged and their faculties were worn, their backs were bent like hooks, and at the entrances of various alleys, in places where dung was burned and swept, they were squatting together, warming themselves by the fire. The World-Honored One saw those two old people, aged and foolish, their backs bent like hooks, squatting together, warming themselves by the fire, like old herons, looking at each other with lustful eyes. Having seen this, he said to the Venerable Ananda, 'Have you seen those two old people, aged and foolish, their backs bent like hooks, squatting together, warming themselves by the fire, like old herons, looking at each other with lustful eyes?' Ananda replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, World-Honored One!' The Buddha said to Ananda, 'These two old people, when they were young and in their prime, if they had diligently sought wealth, they could have become the wealthiest elders in Shravasti; if they had shaved their heads and beards, put on the monastic robes, with right faith left their homes, and practiced the Way, they could have attained the supreme fruit of Arhatship. In the second part of their prime, if they had diligently sought wealth, they could have become the second wealthiest in Shravasti; if they had shaved their heads and beards, put on the monastic robes, with right faith left their homes, and practiced the Way, they could have attained the fruit of Anagami. In the third part of their middle age, if they had diligently sought wealth, they could have become the third wealthiest in Shravasti; if they had shaved their heads and beards, put on the monastic robes, with right faith left their homes, and practiced the Way, they could have attained the fruit of Sakadagami. Today, they are old and their faculties are worn, they have no money, no means, no ability, and they are no longer capable. If they were to seek wealth now, they could not achieve anything surpassing ordinary people.'


。」

爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「不行梵行故,  不得年少財,  思惟古昔事,  眠地如曲弓。  不修于梵行,  不得年少財,  猶如老鵠鳥,  守死於空池。」

佛說此經已,尊者阿難陀聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一六三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園……如上說。差別者,唯說異偈言:

「老死之所壞,  身及所受滅,  唯有惠施福,  為隨己資糧。  依于善攝護,  及修禪功德,  隨力而行施,  錢財及飲食。  于群則眠覺,  非為空自活。」

佛說此經已,彼婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。

時,有眾多比丘集於講堂,作如是論:「諸尊!如世尊說波羅延低舍彌德勒所問:

「『若知二邊者,  于中永無著,   說名大丈夫,  不顧於五欲,   無有煩惱鎖,  超出縫紩憂

現代漢語譯本 那時,世尊又說偈語: 『因為不行梵行,所以得不到年少的財富, 思念過去的事情,像彎曲的弓一樣睡在地上。 不修習梵行,得不到年少的財富, 就像年老的鵠鳥,在空池邊守候死亡。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者阿難陀聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(一一六三)

我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園……如上面所說。不同之處在於,只說了不同的偈語: 『被衰老和死亡所摧毀,身體和所感受的都會消滅, 只有佈施的福德,會成為跟隨自己的資糧。 依靠善的攝護,以及修習禪定的功德, 隨自己的能力而行佈施,錢財和飲食。 在人群中睡眠和覺醒,不是爲了空虛地活著。』 佛陀說完這部經后,那位婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮后離去。

我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國的仙人住處鹿野苑中。 當時,有眾多比丘聚集在講堂,作這樣的討論:『諸位尊者!如世尊所說波羅延低舍彌德勒所問: 『如果知道兩邊,心中永遠沒有執著, 就稱為大丈夫,不顧五欲, 沒有煩惱的枷鎖,超越縫紩的憂愁』

English version At that time, the World Honored One again spoke in verse: 'Because one does not practice the holy life, one does not obtain the wealth of youth, Thinking of past events, one sleeps on the ground like a bent bow. Not cultivating the holy life, one does not obtain the wealth of youth, Just like an old swan, guarding death at an empty pond.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Ananda, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(1163)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti... as described above. The difference is that only different verses were spoken: 'Destroyed by old age and death, the body and what is felt will perish, Only the merit of giving will be the provision that follows oneself. Relying on good protection, and the merit of cultivating meditation, Give according to one's ability, wealth and food. Sleeping and waking among the crowd, not living for emptiness.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, that Brahmin, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and made obeisance before departing.

(1164)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at the hermitage of the ascetics in Varanasi. At that time, many monks gathered in the lecture hall, discussing as follows: 'Venerable ones! As the World Honored One said to Parayana, as asked by Tissa Metteyya: 'If one knows the two extremes, there is no attachment in the middle, One is called a great man, not caring for the five desires, Without the shackles of afflictions, transcending the sorrow of sewing.'


。』

「諸尊!此有何義?云何邊?云何二邊?云何為中?云何為縫紩?云何思?以智知,以了了;智所知,了所了,作苦邊,脫于苦。」

有一答言:「六內入處是一邊,六外入處是二邊,受是其中,愛為縫紩。習於受者,得彼彼因,身漸轉增長出生,於此即法,以智知,以了了,智所知,了所了,作苦邊,脫于苦。」

復有說言:「過去世是一邊,未來世是二邊,現在世名為中,愛為縫紩。習近此愛,彼彼所因,身漸觸增長出生,乃至脫苦。」

復有說言:「樂受者是一邊,苦受者是二邊,不苦不樂是其中,愛為縫紩,習近此愛,彼彼所得,自身漸觸增長出生,乃至作苦。」

復有說言:「有者是一邊,集是二邊,受是其中,愛為縫紩……」如是廣說,乃至「脫苦。」

復有說言:「身者是一邊,身集是二邊,愛為縫紩……」如是廣說,乃至「脫苦。」

復有說言:「我等一切所說不同,所謂向來種種異說,要不望知。云何世尊有餘之說,波羅延低舍彌德勒所問經?我等應往具問世尊,如世尊所說,我等奉持

現代漢語譯本 『諸位尊者!這有什麼意義?什麼是邊?什麼是二邊?什麼是中?什麼是縫合?什麼是思?用智慧去了解,用清晰的認知去理解;智慧所知,理解所了,從而達到苦的盡頭,脫離痛苦。』 有人回答說:『六內入處是一邊,六外入處是二邊,感受是其中,愛是縫合。習慣於感受,就會得到各種各樣的因,身體逐漸增長出生,對於這個法,用智慧去了解,用清晰的認知去理解,智慧所知,理解所了,從而達到苦的盡頭,脫離痛苦。』 又有人說:『過去世是一邊,未來世是二邊,現在世稱為中,愛是縫合。習慣於接近這種愛,就會產生各種各樣的因,身體逐漸接觸增長出生,乃至脫離痛苦。』 又有人說:『樂受是一邊,苦受是二邊,不苦不樂是其中,愛是縫合,習慣於接近這種愛,就會得到各種各樣的結果,自身逐漸接觸增長出生,乃至造成痛苦。』 又有人說:『有是一邊,集是二邊,受是其中,愛是縫合……』如此廣泛地說,乃至『脫離痛苦。』 又有人說:『身體是一邊,身體的聚集是二邊,愛是縫合……』如此廣泛地說,乃至『脫離痛苦。』 又有人說:『我們所說的一切都不同,所謂向來種種不同的說法,都不能期望瞭解。世尊還有其他的說法,如波羅延低舍彌德勒所問經?我們應該去向世尊請教,按照世尊所說的,我們奉行。』

English version 'Venerable ones! What is the meaning of this? What is one extreme? What are two extremes? What is the middle? What is the stitching? What is thought? To know with wisdom, to understand with clear perception; what is known by wisdom, what is understood, thus making an end to suffering, escaping from suffering.' One answered: 'The six internal sense bases are one extreme, the six external sense bases are two extremes, feeling is the middle, craving is the stitching. By being accustomed to feeling, one obtains various causes, the body gradually grows and is born, regarding this Dharma, to know with wisdom, to understand with clear perception, what is known by wisdom, what is understood, thus making an end to suffering, escaping from suffering.' Another said: 'The past is one extreme, the future is two extremes, the present is called the middle, craving is the stitching. By being accustomed to this craving, various causes arise, the body gradually comes into contact, grows, and is born, until escaping from suffering.' Another said: 'Pleasant feeling is one extreme, painful feeling is two extremes, neither pleasant nor painful feeling is the middle, craving is the stitching. By being accustomed to this craving, various results are obtained, the self gradually comes into contact, grows, and is born, until causing suffering.' Another said: 'Existence is one extreme, origination is two extremes, feeling is the middle, craving is the stitching...' Thus speaking extensively, until 'escaping from suffering.' Another said: 'The body is one extreme, the accumulation of the body is two extremes, craving is the stitching...' Thus speaking extensively, until 'escaping from suffering.' Another said: 'All that we have said is different, the various different views that have been expressed cannot be expected to be understood. What other teachings does the Blessed One have, such as the Parayanavagga and the questions of Mettagu? We should go and ask the Blessed One, and according to what the Blessed One says, we will follow.'


。」

爾時,眾多比丘詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!向諸比丘集於講堂,作如是言:『於世尊所說波羅延低舍彌德勒所問經,所謂二邊,乃至脫苦。』有人說言:『內六入處是說一邊,外六入處是說二邊,受是其中,愛為縫紩……』如前廣說,悉不決定,今日故來請問世尊,具問斯義,我等所說,誰得其義?」

佛告諸比丘:「汝等所說,皆是善說,我今當爲汝等說有餘經。我為波羅延低舍彌德勒有餘經說,謂觸是一邊,觸集是二邊,受是其中,愛為縫紩。習近愛已,彼彼所得,身緣觸增長出生,於此法,以智知,以了了;智所知,了所了,作苦邊,脫于苦。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一六五)

如是我聞:

一時,尊者賓頭盧住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園。

時,有婆蹉國王,名優陀延那,詣尊者賓頭盧所,共相問訊;問訊已,退坐一面。婆蹉王優陀延那白尊者賓頭盧言:「欲有所問,寧有閑睱見答已不?」

尊者賓頭盧答言:「大王!大王且問,知者當答

現代漢語譯本 當時,許多比丘來到世尊處,頂禮佛足后,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!剛才眾比丘在講堂聚集,談論世尊所說的《波羅延低舍彌德勒所問經》,其中提到「二邊」,乃至「解脫痛苦」。有人說:「內六入處是指一邊,外六入處是指二邊,感受是其中,愛是連線……」像之前詳細說的那樣,都沒有定論。今天特來請問世尊,詳細詢問這個含義,我們所說的,誰的說法正確?』 佛告訴眾比丘:『你們所說的,都說得很好,我現在為你們說另一層含義。我為波羅延低舍彌德勒說了另一層含義,即觸是一邊,觸的產生是二邊,感受是其中,愛是連線。一旦習慣了愛,就會在各種情況下產生,身體與觸的聯繫會增長,並由此產生。對於這個道理,要用智慧去了解,用清晰的認知去理解;智慧所瞭解的,清晰認知所理解的,就會到達苦的盡頭,從而解脫痛苦。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一一六五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,尊者賓頭盧住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。 當時,有一位名叫優陀延那的婆蹉國王,來到尊者賓頭盧處,互相問候;問候完畢,退坐在一旁。婆蹉王優陀延那對尊者賓頭盧說:『我想請教一些問題,您是否有空閑時間回答?』 尊者賓頭盧回答說:『大王!大王請問,知道的我會回答。』

English version At that time, many monks went to the World Honored One, bowed their heads to his feet, and sat down to one side. They said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! Earlier, the monks gathered in the lecture hall and discussed the 'Parayanadesamitra's Questions' sutra spoken by the World Honored One, which mentioned 'two extremes,' and even 'liberation from suffering.' Some said, 'The six internal sense bases refer to one extreme, the six external sense bases refer to the other extreme, feeling is in between, and craving is the connection...' as previously elaborated, but there was no definite conclusion. Today, we have come to ask the World Honored One to inquire in detail about this meaning. Whose explanation among us is correct?' The Buddha told the monks, 'What you have said is all well-spoken. Now I will explain another meaning to you. I have explained another meaning to Parayanadesamitra, which is that contact is one extreme, the arising of contact is the other extreme, feeling is in between, and craving is the connection. Once one is accustomed to craving, it arises in various situations, the connection between the body and contact increases, and from this, it arises. Regarding this principle, one must understand it with wisdom, and comprehend it with clear awareness; what is understood by wisdom, and what is comprehended by clear awareness, will reach the end of suffering, and thus be liberated from suffering.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (1165) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Venerable Pindola was dwelling in Ghosira Park in the country of Kosambi. At that time, there was a king of Vatsa named Udayana, who went to the Venerable Pindola, and they exchanged greetings; after the greetings, he sat down to one side. King Udayana of Vatsa said to the Venerable Pindola, 'I would like to ask some questions, do you have the leisure to answer?' The Venerable Pindola replied, 'Great King! Great King, please ask, I will answer what I know.'


。」

婆蹉王優陀延那問尊者賓頭盧:「何因何緣,新學年少比丘於此法、律,出家未久,極安樂住,諸根欣悅,顏貌清凈,膚色鮮白,樂靜少動,任他而活,野獸其心,堪能盡壽,修持梵行,純一清凈?」

尊者賓頭盧答言:「如佛所說,如來、應、等正覺所知所見,為比丘說:『汝諸比丘!若見宿人,當作母想;見中間者,作姊妹想;見幼稚者,當作女想。以是因緣,年少比丘於此法、律,出家未久,安隱樂住,諸根敷悅,顏貌清凈,膚色鮮白,樂靜少動,任他而活,野獸其心,堪能盡壽,修持梵行,純一清凈。』」

婆蹉王優陀延那語尊者賓頭盧言:「今諸世間貪求之心,若見宿人,而作母想;見中年者,作姊妹想;見幼稚者,而作女想。當於爾時,心亦隨起,貪慾燒燃、瞋恚燒燃、愚癡燒燃,要當更有勝因緣不?」

尊者賓頭盧語婆蹉王優陀延那:「更有因緣,如世尊說,如來、應、等正覺所知所見,為比丘說:『此身從足至頂,骨幹肉涂,覆以薄皮,種種不凈充滿其中;周遍觀察,發、毛、爪、齒、塵垢、流唌、皮、肉、白骨、筋、脈、心、肝、肺、脾、腎、腸、肚、生藏、熟藏、胞、淚、汗、涕、沫、肪、脂、髓、痰、癊、膿、血、腦、汁、屎、溺

婆蹉王優陀延那問尊者賓頭盧:『是什麼原因,新出家、年紀尚輕的比丘,在這個佛法和戒律中,出家不久,就能非常安樂地生活,身心愉悅,容光煥發,膚色白皙,喜歡安靜,少有活動,隨遇而安,心如野獸般平靜,能夠終生修行,保持純潔的梵行?』 尊者賓頭盧回答說:『正如佛陀所說,如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,為比丘們開示:『你們這些比丘!如果看到年長的女性,應當視作母親;看到中年的女性,應當視作姐妹;看到年幼的女性,應當視作女兒。』因為這個原因,年輕的比丘在這個佛法和戒律中,出家不久,就能安穩快樂地生活,身心愉悅,容光煥發,膚色白皙,喜歡安靜,少有活動,隨遇而安,心如野獸般平靜,能夠終生修行,保持純潔的梵行。』 婆蹉王優陀延那對尊者賓頭盧說:『現在世間的人,貪慾之心很重,即使看到年長的女性,也可能生起母親的想法;看到中年的女性,也可能生起姐妹的想法;看到年幼的女性,也可能生起女兒的想法。在那個時候,心中也會隨之生起貪慾、嗔恨和愚癡的火焰,難道沒有更殊勝的原因嗎?』 尊者賓頭盧對婆蹉王優陀延那說:『還有其他的原因,正如世尊所說,如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,為比丘們開示:『這個身體,從腳底到頭頂,骨骼支撐,肉覆蓋,外覆薄皮,其中充滿了各種不凈之物;應當全面觀察,頭髮、毛髮、指甲、牙齒、污垢、口水、面板、肌肉、白骨、筋、脈、心、肝、肺、脾、腎、腸、胃、生臟、熟臟、胞、眼淚、汗水、鼻涕、唾沫、脂肪、油脂、骨髓、痰、膿、血、腦、汁液、糞便、尿液』

King Udayana of Vatsa asked Venerable Pindola, 'What is the reason that newly ordained young monks, who have not been ordained for long in this Dharma and Vinaya, can live very peacefully, with their senses joyful, their faces radiant, their skin fair, enjoying quietude, with little movement, living contentedly, with minds like wild beasts, able to practice the holy life for their entire lives, remaining purely chaste?' Venerable Pindola replied, 'As the Buddha said, what the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One knows and sees, he taught the monks: 『You monks! If you see an older woman, you should think of her as your mother; if you see a middle-aged woman, you should think of her as your sister; if you see a young woman, you should think of her as your daughter.』 Because of this reason, young monks, who have not been ordained for long in this Dharma and Vinaya, can live peacefully and happily, with their senses joyful, their faces radiant, their skin fair, enjoying quietude, with little movement, living contentedly, with minds like wild beasts, able to practice the holy life for their entire lives, remaining purely chaste.』 King Udayana of Vatsa said to Venerable Pindola, 'Now, the people of the world have strong desires. Even if they see an older woman, they might think of her as their mother; if they see a middle-aged woman, they might think of her as their sister; if they see a young woman, they might think of her as their daughter. At that time, their hearts will also be ignited by the flames of greed, hatred, and delusion. Isn't there a more superior reason?' Venerable Pindola said to King Udayana of Vatsa, 'There are other reasons, as the World Honored One said, what the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Fully Enlightened One knows and sees, he taught the monks: 『This body, from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, is supported by bones, covered with flesh, and overlaid with a thin skin, filled with all kinds of impurities; one should observe it thoroughly, the hair, body hair, nails, teeth, dirt, saliva, skin, flesh, white bones, tendons, veins, heart, liver, lungs, spleen, kidneys, intestines, stomach, raw organs, cooked organs, the womb, tears, sweat, mucus, phlegm, fat, grease, marrow, phlegm, pus, blood, brain, fluids, feces, and urine.』


。』大王!此因此緣故,年少比丘於此法、律,出家未久,安隱樂住,乃至純一滿凈。」

婆蹉王優陀延那語尊者賓頭盧:「人心飄疾,若觀不凈,隨凈想現。頗更有因緣,令年少比丘於此法、律,出家未久,安隱樂住,乃至純一滿凈不?」

尊者賓頭盧言:「大王!有因有緣,如世尊說,如來、應、等正覺所知所見,告諸比丘:『汝等應當守護根門,善攝其心。若眼見色時,莫取色相,莫取隨形好,增上執持。若於眼根不攝斂住,則世間貪、愛、惡不善法則漏其心,是故此等當受持眼律儀。耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法亦復如是。乃至受持意律儀。』」

爾時,婆蹉王優陀延那語尊者賓頭盧:「善哉!善說法,乃至受持諸根律儀。尊者賓頭盧!我亦如是,有時不守護身,不持諸根律儀,不一其念,入于宮中,其心極生貪慾熾燃、愚癡燒燃;正使閑房獨處,亦復三毒燒燃其心,況復宮中!又我有時善護其身,善攝諸根,專一其念,入于宮中,貪慾、恚、癡不起燒燃其心,于內宮中尚不燒身,亦不燒心,況復閑獨!以是之故,此因此緣,能令年少比丘於此法、律,出家未久,安隱樂住,乃至純一滿凈。」

時,婆蹉王優陀延那聞尊者賓頭盧所說,歡喜隨喜,從坐起去

現代漢語譯本:『大王!正是因為這個緣故,年輕的比丘在這個佛法和戒律中,出家不久,就能安穩快樂地居住,乃至達到完全清凈的境界。』 婆蹉王優陀延那問賓頭盧尊者:『人心飄忽不定,如果觀察不凈之物,反而會產生清凈的想法。是否還有其他原因,能讓年輕的比丘在這個佛法和戒律中,出家不久,就能安穩快樂地居住,乃至達到完全清凈的境界呢?』 賓頭盧尊者說:『大王!有原因和條件,正如世尊所說,如來、應供、正等覺所知所見,告訴眾比丘:『你們應當守護六根之門,好好地攝持自己的心。如果眼睛看到顏色時,不要執著于顏色的表象,不要執著于隨之而來的美好形態,更不要因此而產生強烈的執著。如果不能約束自己的眼根,世間的貪慾、愛戀、邪惡和不善的念頭就會侵入內心,所以應當受持眼根的戒律。耳朵聽聲音、鼻子聞香氣、舌頭嘗味道、身體感受觸覺、意識感知事物也是如此。乃至要受持意根的戒律。』 這時,婆蹉王優陀延那對賓頭盧尊者說:『說得好啊!善於說法,乃至受持諸根的戒律。賓頭盧尊者!我也是這樣,有時不守護自己的身體,不持守諸根的戒律,不能專一其念,進入宮中,內心就會極度地產生貪慾的熾熱、愚癡的燃燒;即使獨自在安靜的房間里,也會被貪嗔癡三毒燒灼內心,更何況是在宮中!而有時我能好好地守護自己的身體,好好地攝持諸根,專一其念,進入宮中,貪慾、嗔恨、愚癡就不會燃燒我的內心,在內宮中尚且不會燒灼我的身心,更何況是閑靜獨處的時候!因此,正是因為這個原因,才能讓年輕的比丘在這個佛法和戒律中,出家不久,就能安穩快樂地居住,乃至達到完全清凈的境界。』 當時,婆蹉王優陀延那聽了賓頭盧尊者所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離開了。

English version: 'Your Majesty! It is for this reason that young monks, having not long left home in this Dharma and Vinaya, dwell in peace and happiness, even to the point of being completely pure.' King Udayana of Vatsa asked Venerable Pindola, 'The human mind is fickle. If one contemplates the impure, pure thoughts may arise. Is there any other reason why young monks, having not long left home in this Dharma and Vinaya, can dwell in peace and happiness, even to the point of being completely pure?' Venerable Pindola said, 'Your Majesty! There are causes and conditions, as the World Honored One has said, as the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One knows and sees, telling the monks: 「You should guard the doors of your senses, and well control your minds. When the eye sees a form, do not grasp at the form, do not grasp at the pleasing features, and do not become attached to them. If the eye faculty is not restrained, then worldly greed, love, evil, and unwholesome thoughts will leak into the mind. Therefore, you should uphold the discipline of the eye. The same is true for the ear with sounds, the nose with smells, the tongue with tastes, the body with touch, and the mind with thoughts. Even to the point of upholding the discipline of the mind.」' At that time, King Udayana of Vatsa said to Venerable Pindola, 'Excellent! Well spoken, even to the point of upholding the discipline of the senses. Venerable Pindola! It is the same with me. Sometimes, when I do not guard my body, do not uphold the discipline of the senses, and do not focus my mind, when I enter the palace, my mind becomes extremely inflamed with greed and burning with delusion. Even when I am alone in a quiet room, the three poisons burn my mind, let alone in the palace! But at other times, when I guard my body well, control my senses well, and focus my mind, when I enter the palace, greed, hatred, and delusion do not arise to burn my mind. Even in the inner palace, my body and mind are not burned, let alone when I am alone in quiet! Therefore, it is for this reason that young monks, having not long left home in this Dharma and Vinaya, can dwell in peace and happiness, even to the point of being completely pure.' Then, King Udayana of Vatsa, having heard what Venerable Pindola said, rejoiced and, pleased, rose from his seat and departed.


(一一六六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有手故知有取捨,有足故知有往來,有關節故知有屈伸,有腹故知有飢渴。如是,比丘!有眼故眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。

「諸比丘!若無手則不知取捨,若無足則不知往來,若無關節則不知有屈伸,若無腹則不知有飢渴。如是,諸比丘!若無眼則無眼觸因緣生受,內覺若苦、若樂、不苦不樂;耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一六七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時有河中草,有龜于中住止。時,有野干饑行覓食,遙見龜蟲,疾來捉取。龜蟲見來,即便藏六,野干守伺,冀出頭足,欲取食之。久守,龜蟲永不出頭,亦不出足;野干饑乏,瞋恚而去。

「諸比丘!汝等今日亦復如是。知魔波旬常伺汝便,冀汝眼著於色、耳聞聲、鼻嗅香、舌嘗味、身覺觸、意念法,欲令出生染著六境

現代漢語譯本 (一一六六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『因為有手,所以知道有取捨;因為有腳,所以知道有往來;因為有關節,所以知道有屈伸;因為有腹部,所以知道有飢渴。同樣,比丘們!因為有眼睛,所以眼睛接觸外境而產生感受,內心感受到苦、樂或不苦不樂。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。』 『比丘們!如果沒有手,就不知道取捨;如果沒有腳,就不知道往來;如果沒有關節,就不知道屈伸;如果沒有腹部,就不知道飢渴。同樣,比丘們!如果沒有眼睛,就不會因為眼睛接觸外境而產生感受,內心感受到苦、樂或不苦不樂;耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。』 佛陀說完這部經,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一一六七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去世的時候,有一條河裡長著草,有一隻烏龜住在裡面。當時,有一隻野狐飢餓地尋找食物,遠遠地看見了烏龜,就快速地跑來捉它。烏龜看見野狐來了,就立刻把頭和四肢都縮排殼裡。野狐守候著,希望它伸出頭和腳,想捉來吃掉。守候了很久,烏龜始終不伸出頭,也不伸出腳;野狐飢餓疲乏,生氣地離開了。』 『比丘們!你們今天也是這樣。要知道魔王波旬常常伺機尋找你們的破綻,希望你們的眼睛執著於色,耳朵聽聞聲音,鼻子嗅聞香氣,舌頭品嚐味道,身體感受觸覺,意識思念法,想要讓你們對這六種外境產生染著。'

English version (1166) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Ghosita Garden in Kosambi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'Because there are hands, one knows there is taking and letting go; because there are feet, one knows there is going and coming; because there are joints, one knows there is bending and stretching; because there is a belly, one knows there is hunger and thirst. Likewise, monks! Because there is an eye, eye-contact gives rise to feeling, internally experiencing either pain, pleasure, or neither pain nor pleasure. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.' 'Monks! If there were no hands, one would not know taking and letting go; if there were no feet, one would not know going and coming; if there were no joints, one would not know bending and stretching; if there were no belly, one would not know hunger and thirst. Likewise, monks! If there were no eye, there would be no feeling arising from eye-contact, internally experiencing either pain, pleasure, or neither pain nor pleasure; the same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks were delighted and practiced the Buddha's teachings. (1167) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Ghosita Garden in Kosambi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'In the past, there was grass in a river, and a turtle lived there. At that time, a hungry jackal was searching for food and saw the turtle from afar. It quickly came to catch it. The turtle, seeing it coming, immediately hid its six parts. The jackal waited, hoping it would extend its head and feet, wanting to catch and eat it. After waiting for a long time, the turtle never extended its head or feet; the jackal, hungry and exhausted, left in anger.' 'Monks! You are the same today. Know that Mara the Evil One is always watching for your opportunity, hoping that your eyes will be attached to forms, your ears to sounds, your nose to smells, your tongue to tastes, your body to touch, and your mind to thoughts, wanting to cause you to become attached to these six objects.'


。是故,比丘!汝等今日常當執持眼律儀住,執持眼根律儀住,惡魔波旬不得其便,隨出隨緣;耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。于其六根若出若緣,不得其便,猶如龜蟲,野幹不得其便。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「龜蟲畏野干,  藏六于殼內,  比丘善攝心,  密藏諸覺想。  不依不怖彼,  覆心勿言說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一六八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如䵃麥著四衢道頭,有六壯夫執杖共打,須臾塵碎,有第七人執杖重打。諸比丘!于意云何?如䵃麥聚,六人共打,七人重打,當極碎不?」

諸比丘白佛言:「如是,世尊!」

佛告諸比丘:「如是愚癡士夫六觸入處之所捶打。何等為六?謂眼觸入處,常所捶打。耳、鼻、舌、身、意觸入處,常所捶打,彼愚癡士夫為六觸入處之所捶打,猶復念求當來世有,如第七人重打令碎。

「比丘!若言是我,是則動搖;言是我所,是則動搖。未來當有,是則動搖;未來當無,是則動搖。當復有色,是則動搖;當復無色,是則動搖。當復有想,是則動搖;當復無想,是則動搖;當復非有想非無想,是則動搖

現代漢語譯本:所以,比丘們!你們今天應當經常保持眼根的律儀,守護好眼根,這樣惡魔波旬就無法找到機會,隨心所欲地侵擾你們;耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體和意念也是如此。如果這六根在接觸外境時都能保持警惕,不給惡魔可乘之機,就像烏龜把頭縮排殼裡,野獸就無法傷害它一樣。 當時,世尊就說了這首偈語: 『烏龜害怕野獸,把六根藏在殼內,比丘善於守護內心,秘密地隱藏各種感覺和想法。不依賴也不害怕它們,守護好內心,不要輕易說話。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,都歡喜地接受並奉行。 (一一六八) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,佛陀住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『比如一堆麥子放在十字路口,有六個壯漢拿著棍子一起打,一會兒就打成了粉末,然後第七個人又拿著棍子重重地打。比丘們!你們認為怎麼樣?像這樣一堆麥子,六個人一起打,第七個人又重重地打,會打得非常碎嗎?』 眾比丘回答佛說:『是的,世尊!』 佛告訴眾比丘:『就像這樣,愚癡的人被六種感官的接觸所捶打。哪六種呢?就是眼根的接觸,經常被捶打;耳、鼻、舌、身、意根的接觸,也經常被捶打。這些愚癡的人被六種感官的接觸所捶打,卻仍然想著追求來世的存在,就像第七個人又重重地打,讓麥子更加粉碎一樣。 『比丘們!如果說『這是我』,那就是動搖;說『這是我的』,那就是動搖。說『未來會有』,那就是動搖;說『未來不會有』,那就是動搖。說『未來會有色』,那就是動搖;說『未來不會有色』,那就是動搖。說『未來會有想』,那就是動搖;說『未來不會有想』,那就是動搖;說『未來會有非有想非無想』,那就是動搖。』

English version: Therefore, bhikkhus! Today, you should always maintain the discipline of the eye, guard your eye faculty, so that the evil Mara cannot find an opportunity to harass you at will; the same applies to the ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. If these six faculties can remain vigilant when encountering external objects, not giving Mara an opportunity, it will be like a turtle retracting its head into its shell, and wild animals will not be able to harm it. At that time, the World Honored One spoke this verse: 'The turtle fears wild animals, hiding its six faculties within its shell. Bhikkhus, be good at guarding your minds, secretly concealing all feelings and thoughts. Do not rely on them, nor fear them, guard your minds, and do not speak carelessly.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully accepted and practiced them. (1168) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Ghosita Garden in Kosambi. At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Suppose a pile of wheat is placed at a crossroads, and six strong men beat it together with sticks, and in a short time it is beaten into powder, and then a seventh person beats it heavily with a stick. Bhikkhus! What do you think? If such a pile of wheat is beaten by six people together, and then the seventh person beats it heavily, will it be beaten very finely?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha: 'Yes, World Honored One!' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'It is just like this, foolish people are beaten by the contact of the six senses. Which six? It is the contact of the eye faculty, which is constantly beaten; the contact of the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind faculties, which are also constantly beaten. These foolish people are beaten by the contact of the six senses, yet they still think of pursuing existence in the next life, just like the seventh person beating heavily, making the wheat even more pulverized.' 'Bhikkhus! If it is said 'This is me,' that is wavering; if it is said 'This is mine,' that is wavering. If it is said 'There will be in the future,' that is wavering; if it is said 'There will not be in the future,' that is wavering. If it is said 'There will be form in the future,' that is wavering; if it is said 'There will not be form in the future,' that is wavering. If it is said 'There will be perception in the future,' that is wavering; if it is said 'There will not be perception in the future,' that is wavering; if it is said 'There will be neither perception nor non-perception in the future,' that is wavering.'


。動搖故病,動搖故癰,動搖故刺,動搖故著。正觀察動搖故苦者,得不動搖心,多修習住,繫念正知。

「如動搖。如是思量虛誑,有行因愛。言我,是則為愛;言我所,是則為愛。言當來有,是則為愛;言當來無,是則為愛。當有色,是則為愛;當無色,是則為愛。當有想,是則為愛;當無想,是則為愛;當非想非非想,是則為愛。愛故為病,愛故為癰,愛故為刺。若善思觀察愛生苦者,當多住離愛心,正念正智。

「諸比丘!過去世時,阿修羅興軍與帝釋鬥。時,天帝釋告三十三天:『今日諸天、阿修羅苦戰,若諸天勝,阿修羅不如者,當生執阿修羅,縛以五系,送還天宮。』阿修羅語其眾言:『今阿修羅軍與諸天戰,若阿修羅勝,諸天不如者,當生執帝釋,縛以五系,還歸阿修羅宮。』當其戰諍,諸天得勝,阿修羅不如。時,三十三天生執毗摩質多羅阿修羅王,縛以五系,還歸天宮。

「爾時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王身被五系,置於正法殿上,以種種天五欲樂而娛樂之。毗摩質多羅阿修羅王作是念:『唯阿修羅賢善聰慧,諸天雖善,我今且當還歸阿修羅宮。』作是念時,即自見身被五繫縛,諸天五欲自然化沒

現代漢語譯本:動搖是因為舊有的疾病,動搖是因為舊有的癰瘡,動搖是因為舊有的刺痛,動搖是因為舊有的執著。正確觀察那些因動搖而產生痛苦的人,應當獲得不為動搖所動的心,多多修習安住,保持正念和正知。 像動搖一樣。像這樣思量虛妄,是因為有行為和愛慾。說『我』,這就是愛;說『我的』,這就是愛。說『將來會有』,這就是愛;說『將來不會有』,這就是愛。說『將來會有色』,這就是愛;說『將來不會有色』,這就是愛。說『將來會有想』,這就是愛;說『將來不會有想』,這就是愛;說『將來會有非想非非想』,這就是愛。因為愛所以成為疾病,因為愛所以成為癰瘡,因為愛所以成為刺痛。如果能善於思考觀察因愛而產生的痛苦,就應當多多安住于遠離愛慾的心,保持正念和正智。 諸位比丘!在過去世的時候,阿修羅興兵與帝釋天戰鬥。當時,天帝釋告訴三十三天:『今天諸天和阿修羅苦戰,如果諸天勝利,阿修羅失敗,就應當生擒阿修羅,用五種束縛捆綁起來,送回天宮。』阿修羅告訴他們的部眾說:『現在阿修羅軍隊與諸天戰鬥,如果阿修羅勝利,諸天失敗,就應當生擒帝釋天,用五種束縛捆綁起來,送回阿修羅宮。』當他們戰鬥爭執時,諸天獲得了勝利,阿修羅失敗了。當時,三十三天生擒了毗摩質多羅阿修羅王,用五種束縛捆綁起來,送回天宮。 那時,毗摩質多羅阿修羅王身被五種束縛,被安置在正法殿上,用各種各樣的天界五欲之樂來娛樂他。毗摩質多羅阿修羅王這樣想:『只有阿修羅才是賢善聰慧的,諸天雖然也很好,但我現在還是應當回到阿修羅宮。』當他這樣想的時候,就看到自己身上被五種束縛捆綁著,諸天的五欲之樂自然消失了。

English version: Agitation arises from old illnesses, agitation arises from old sores, agitation arises from old stings, agitation arises from old attachments. Those who correctly observe the suffering caused by agitation should attain a mind that is not moved by agitation, cultivate dwelling in stillness, and maintain mindfulness and clear comprehension. Like agitation. Thinking in this way about what is false is due to actions and desires. Saying 'I' is desire; saying 'mine' is desire. Saying 'there will be in the future' is desire; saying 'there will not be in the future' is desire. Saying 'there will be form in the future' is desire; saying 'there will not be form in the future' is desire. Saying 'there will be perception in the future' is desire; saying 'there will not be perception in the future' is desire; saying 'there will be neither perception nor non-perception in the future' is desire. Because of desire, it becomes an illness; because of desire, it becomes a sore; because of desire, it becomes a sting. If one can skillfully contemplate the suffering that arises from desire, one should dwell in a mind that is free from desire, maintaining mindfulness and clear comprehension. Monks! In the past, the Asuras raised an army to fight with Indra. At that time, Indra told the Thirty-three Gods: 'Today, the gods and Asuras are fighting fiercely. If the gods win and the Asuras lose, then we should capture the Asuras, bind them with five fetters, and send them back to the heavenly palace.' The Asuras told their followers: 'Now the Asura army is fighting with the gods. If the Asuras win and the gods lose, then we should capture Indra, bind him with five fetters, and send him back to the Asura palace.' When they fought and contended, the gods won, and the Asuras lost. At that time, the Thirty-three Gods captured the Asura King Vepacitti, bound him with five fetters, and sent him back to the heavenly palace. At that time, the Asura King Vepacitti, with his body bound by five fetters, was placed in the Hall of Righteousness and entertained with various heavenly pleasures. The Asura King Vepacitti thought: 'Only the Asuras are virtuous and wise. Although the gods are also good, I should still return to the Asura palace.' When he thought this, he saw that his body was bound by five fetters, and the heavenly pleasures naturally vanished.


「毗摩質多羅阿修羅王復作是念:『諸天賢善,智慧明徹,阿修羅雖善,我今且當住此天宮。』作是念時,即自見身五縛得解,諸天五欲自然還出。

「毗摩質多羅阿修羅王乃至有如是微細之縛,魔波旬縛轉細。於是心動搖時,魔即隨縛;心不動搖,魔即隨解。是故,諸比丘!多住不動搖心,正念正智,應當學!」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一六九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若有比丘、比丘尼,眼色識因緣生,若欲、若貪、若昵、若念、若決定著處,于彼諸心善自防護。所以者何?此等皆是恐畏之道,有礙、有難,此惡人所依,非善人所依,是故應自防護。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。譬如田夫有好田苗,其守田者懶惰放逸,欄牛啖食;愚癡凡夫亦復如是。六觸入處,乃至放逸亦復如是。

「若好田苗,其守田者心不放逸,欄牛不暴,設復入田,盡驅令出;所謂若心、若意、若識,多聞聖弟子於五欲功德善自攝護,盡心令滅。若好田苗,其守護田者不自放逸,欄牛入境,左手牽鼻,右手執杖,遍身捶打,驅出其田

現代漢語譯本:毗摩質多羅阿修羅王又這樣想:『諸天善良賢能,智慧明澈,阿修羅雖然也不錯,但我現在還是先待在這天宮吧。』當他這樣想的時候,就看到自己身上的五種束縛解開了,諸天的五種慾望自然而然地又出現了。 毗摩質多羅阿修羅王乃至有如此細微的束縛,魔王波旬的束縛就更加細微。當他的心動搖時,魔就隨之束縛;當他的心不動搖時,魔就隨之解脫。所以,各位比丘!要多多安住于不動搖的心,保持正念正智,應當學習!』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (一一六九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果有比丘、比丘尼,因眼、色、識的因緣而生起慾望、貪婪、執著、思念、或決定執著之處,對於這些心念要好好地自我防護。為什麼呢?因為這些都是令人恐懼的道路,有障礙、有困難,是惡人所依賴的,不是善人所依賴的,所以應該自我防護。耳、鼻、舌、身、意也是如此。譬如農夫有好的田苗,但看守田地的人懶惰放縱,讓牛進入田地吃食;愚癡的凡夫也是如此。六種感官接觸之處,乃至放縱也是如此。 『如果田苗很好,看守田地的人不放縱,不讓牛進入田地,即使牛進入田地,也會把它們全部趕出去;所謂心、意、識,多聞的聖弟子對於五欲功德會好好地自我攝護,盡心讓它們滅除。如果田苗很好,看守田地的人不放縱,牛進入田地,就會左手牽著牛鼻子,右手拿著棍子,全身捶打,把牛趕出田地。』

English version: King Vepacitti Asura then thought: 『The gods are virtuous and wise, and although the Asuras are good, I will stay in this heavenly palace for now.』 As he thought this, he saw that the five bonds on his body were loosened, and the five desires of the gods naturally reappeared. King Vepacitti Asura had such subtle bonds, and Mara Papiya』s bonds are even more subtle. When his mind wavers, Mara binds him; when his mind does not waver, Mara releases him. Therefore, bhikkhus, you should dwell often in an unwavering mind, with right mindfulness and right wisdom. You should train yourselves!』 After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, delighted by the Buddha』s words, practiced accordingly. (1169) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Ghosita Park in Kosambi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 『If a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni, due to the conditions of eye, form, and consciousness, gives rise to desire, greed, attachment, longing, or fixed clinging, they should diligently guard their minds against these. Why is that? Because these are paths of fear, with obstacles and difficulties, relied upon by the wicked, not relied upon by the virtuous. Therefore, one should guard oneself. The same is true for ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. It is like a farmer who has good crops, but the field guard is lazy and negligent, allowing cattle to eat the crops; so too are foolish ordinary people. The six sense entrances, and even negligence, are like this.』 『If the crops are good, and the field guard is not negligent, not allowing cattle to enter the field, and if they do enter, they are all driven out; so too, with mind, intention, and consciousness, a well-learned noble disciple diligently guards against the five sensual pleasures, striving to extinguish them. If the crops are good, and the field guard is not negligent, and cattle enter the field, they will pull the cattle by the nose with their left hand, and with a stick in their right hand, beat them all over, and drive them out of the field.』


。諸比丘!于意云何?彼牛遭苦痛已,從村至宅,從宅至村,復當如前過食田苗不?」

答言:「不也,世尊!所以者何?憶先入田遭捶杖苦故。」

「如是,比丘!若心、若意、若識,多聞聖弟子於六觸入處極生厭離、恐怖,內心安住,制令一意。諸比丘!過去世時,有王聞未曾有好彈琴聲,極生愛樂,耽湎染著,問諸大臣:『此何等聲?甚可愛樂!』大臣答言:『此是琴聲。』語大臣:『取彼聲來。』大臣受教,即往取琴來,白言:『大王!此是琴作好聲者。』王語大臣:『我不用琴,取其先聞可愛樂聲來。』大臣答言:『如此之琴,有眾多種具,謂有柄、有槽、有麗、有弦、有皮,巧方便人彈之,得眾具因緣乃成音聲,非不得眾具而有音聲,前所聞聲,久已過去,轉亦盡滅,不可持來。』

「爾時,大王作是念言:『咄!何用此虛偽物為?世間琴者是虛偽物,而令世人耽湎染著;汝今持去,片片析破,棄於十方。』大臣受教,析為百分,棄于處處。如是,比丘!若色、受、想、思、欲,知此諸法無常、有為、心因緣生,而便說言:『是我、我所。』彼于異時,一切悉無。諸比丘!應作如是平等正智,如實觀察。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:『諸位比丘!你們認為如何?那頭牛遭受痛苦后,從村莊到房屋,從房屋到村莊,還會像以前那樣去吃田里的莊稼嗎?』 回答說:『不會的,世尊!為什麼呢?因為它記得先前進入田地遭受鞭打的痛苦。』 『同樣,比丘們!如果心、意、識,多聞的聖弟子對於六種觸入處極度厭惡、恐懼,內心安住,控制使其專一。諸位比丘!過去世時,有一位國王聽到從未有過的美妙琴聲,非常喜愛,沉迷執著,問各位大臣:『這是什麼聲音?如此可愛!』大臣回答說:『這是琴聲。』國王告訴大臣:『把那聲音取來。』大臣接受命令,立即去取來琴,稟告說:『大王!這是能發出美妙聲音的琴。』國王告訴大臣:『我不要琴,把先前聽到的可愛聲音取來。』大臣回答說:『像這樣的琴,有各種各樣的組成部分,包括柄、槽、麗、弦、皮,由熟練的人彈奏,各種條件因緣聚合才能發出聲音,不是沒有各種條件就能發出聲音的。先前聽到的聲音,早已過去,轉變消滅,無法拿來。』 『當時,大王這樣想:『唉!要這虛假的東西有什麼用呢?世間的琴是虛假的東西,卻讓世人沉迷執著;你們現在把它拿走,一片片拆碎,丟棄到四面八方。』大臣接受命令,把它拆成一百份,丟棄在各處。同樣,比丘們!如果對於色、受、想、思、欲,知道這些法是無常的、有為的、由心因緣而生,卻說:『這是我、我的所有。』那麼在某個時候,一切都會消失。諸位比丘!應該這樣以平等正智,如實觀察。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

English version: 'Monks, what do you think? After that cow has suffered pain, will it go from the village to the house, and from the house to the village, and again eat the crops in the field as before?' They replied, 'No, Venerable Sir. Why? Because it remembers the pain of being beaten when it entered the field before.' 'Likewise, monks, if the mind, the intellect, the consciousness, a well-learned noble disciple feels extreme aversion and fear towards the six sense bases, his mind is settled, and he controls it to be one-pointed. Monks, in the past, there was a king who heard a beautiful sound of a lute that he had never heard before. He was very fond of it, indulged in it, and became attached to it. He asked his ministers, 『What is this sound? It is so lovely!』 The ministers replied, 『It is the sound of a lute.』 The king told the ministers, 『Bring that sound to me.』 The ministers, accepting the order, immediately went and brought the lute, and reported, 『Your Majesty, this is the lute that makes the beautiful sound.』 The king told the ministers, 『I do not want the lute, bring me the lovely sound that I heard before.』 The ministers replied, 『Such a lute has various components, including a neck, a body, a bridge, strings, and a skin. When a skilled person plays it, the sound is produced by the combination of various conditions. It is not possible for the sound to be produced without these conditions. The sound that was heard before has already passed, changed, and ceased, and cannot be brought back.』 'At that time, the king thought, 『Alas! What is the use of this false thing? The lute in the world is a false thing, yet it makes people indulge in it and become attached to it. Now, take it away, break it into pieces, and throw it in all directions.』 The ministers, accepting the order, broke it into a hundred pieces and threw them in various places. Likewise, monks, if one knows that form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness are impermanent, conditioned, and arise from mental causes, yet says, 『This is me, this is mine,』 then at some point, everything will disappear. Monks, you should observe with such equal and correct wisdom, as it truly is.』 After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「如癩病人,四體瘡壞,入茅荻中,為諸刺葉針刺所傷,倍增苦痛;如是愚癡凡夫六觸入處受諸苦痛亦復如是。如彼癩人,為草葉針刺所傷,膿血流出;如是愚癡凡夫,其性弊暴,六觸入處所觸則起瞋恚,惡聲流出,如彼癩人。所以者何?愚癡無聞凡夫心如癩瘡。

「我今當說律儀、不律儀。云何律儀?云何不律儀?愚癡無聞凡夫眼見色已,于可念色而起貪著,不可念色而起瞋恚,于彼次第隨生眾多覺想相續,不見過患;復見過患,不能除滅。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。比丘!是名不律儀。云何律儀?多聞聖弟子若眼見色,于可念色不起欲想,不可念色不起恚想,次第不起眾多覺想相續住,見色過患;見過患已,能捨離。耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。是名律儀。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行!

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如士夫游空宅中,得六種眾生。一者得狗,即執其狗,繫著一處。次得其鳥,次得毒蛇,次得野干,次得失收摩羅,次得獼猴。得斯眾生,悉縛一處

現代漢語譯本 (一一七〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『就像一個麻風病人,四肢潰爛,進入茅草叢中,被各種刺葉針刺所傷,痛苦加倍;同樣,愚癡的凡夫,六種感官接觸外境所感受的痛苦也是如此。就像那個麻風病人,被草葉針刺所傷,膿血流出;同樣,愚癡的凡夫,性情暴躁,六種感官接觸外境時就會生起嗔恨,發出惡聲,就像那個麻風病人一樣。這是為什麼呢?因為愚癡無知的凡夫的心就像麻風病瘡一樣。 『我現在要說律儀和不律儀。什麼是律儀?什麼是不律儀?愚癡無知的凡夫,眼睛看到顏色后,對於喜歡的顏色就產生貪戀,對於不喜歡的顏色就產生嗔恨,並且接連不斷地產生許多想法,看不到其中的過患;即使看到了過患,也不能消除。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念也是如此。比丘們!這叫做不律儀。什麼是律儀?多聞的聖弟子,如果眼睛看到顏色,對於喜歡的顏色不起貪慾,對於不喜歡的顏色不起嗔恨,不會接連不斷地產生許多想法,能看到顏色的過患;看到了過患后,就能捨棄。耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意念也是如此。這叫做律儀。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行! (一一七一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如有一個人,在空房子里遊蕩,得到了六種動物。第一種是狗,他抓住狗,把它拴在一個地方。接著他又得到一隻鳥,然後是一條毒蛇,然後是一隻野干,然後是一隻鱷魚,最後是一隻猴子。他把這些動物都綁在一起。』

English version (1170) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Ghosita Garden in Kosambi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'Just as a leper, with his body covered in sores, enters a thicket of reeds and is wounded by the thorns and leaves, thus increasing his pain; so too, the foolish, ordinary person experiences suffering through the six sense bases. Just as that leper, wounded by the thorns and leaves, has pus and blood flowing out; so too, the foolish, ordinary person, with his violent nature, when touched by the six sense bases, gives rise to anger, and foul words flow out, like that leper. Why is this so? Because the mind of the foolish, unlearned person is like a leprous sore.' 'Now I will speak of restraint and lack of restraint. What is restraint? What is lack of restraint? When a foolish, unlearned person sees a form with the eye, he becomes attached to a pleasing form and angry at an unpleasing form, and he successively gives rise to many thoughts, not seeing the danger; and even if he sees the danger, he cannot eliminate it. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Monks! This is called lack of restraint. What is restraint? When a well-learned noble disciple sees a form with the eye, he does not give rise to desire for a pleasing form, nor anger for an unpleasing form, and he does not successively give rise to many thoughts, but sees the danger in form; and having seen the danger, he is able to abandon it. The same is true for the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. This is called restraint.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and put them into practice! (1171) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Ghosita Garden in Kosambi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the monks, saying: 'Suppose a man wanders in an empty house and finds six kinds of creatures. First, he finds a dog, and he seizes the dog and ties it in one place. Then he finds a bird, then a poisonous snake, then a jackal, then a crocodile, and finally a monkey. He ties all these creatures together in one place.'


。其狗者,樂欲入村。其鳥者,常欲飛空。其蛇者,常欲入穴。其野干者,樂向冢間。失收摩羅者,長欲入海。獼猴者,欲入山林。此六眾生悉系一處,所樂不同,各各嗜慾到所安處,各各不相樂於他處;而繫縛故,各用其力,向所樂方,而不能脫。

「如是六根種種境界,各各自求所樂境界,不樂余境界。眼根常求可愛之色,不可意色則生其厭。耳根常求可意之聲,不可意聲則生其厭。鼻根常求可意之香,不可意香則生其厭。舌根常求可意之味,不可意味則生其厭。身根常求可意之觸,不可意觸則生其厭。意根常求可意之法,不可意法則生其厭。此六種根種種行處,種種境界,各各不求異根境界。此六種根其有力者,堪能自在,隨覺境界。如彼士夫系六眾生於其堅柱,正出用力隨意而去,往反疲極,以繩系故,終依于柱。

「諸比丘!我說此譬,欲為汝等顯示其義。六眾生者,譬猶六根;堅柱者,譬身念處。若善修習身念處,有念、不念色,見可愛色則不生著,不可愛色則不生厭;耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法,于可意法則不求欲,不可意法則不生厭。是故,比丘!當勤修習,多住身念處

現代漢語譯本:那狗,喜歡進入村莊。那鳥,總是想飛向天空。那蛇,總是想鉆入洞穴。那野狼,喜歡去墳墓之間。那失收摩羅,總是想進入大海。那獼猴,想進入山林。這六種眾生被繫在一起,所喜歡的不一樣,各自都想去自己喜歡的地方,各自不喜歡其他地方;因為被束縛的緣故,各自用自己的力量,朝自己喜歡的地方去,卻不能脫離束縛。 就像這樣,六根面對各種不同的境界,各自尋求自己喜歡的境界,不喜歡其他的境界。眼根總是尋求可愛的顏色,對於不可愛的顏色就產生厭惡。耳根總是尋求悅耳的聲音,對於不悅耳的聲音就產生厭惡。鼻根總是尋求令人愉悅的香味,對於不令人愉悅的香味就產生厭惡。舌根總是尋求可口的滋味,對於不可口的滋味就產生厭惡。身根總是尋求舒適的觸感,對於不舒適的觸感就產生厭惡。意根總是尋求令人愉悅的法,對於不令人愉悅的法就產生厭惡。這六種根在各種不同的地方活動,面對各種不同的境界,各自不尋求其他根的境界。這六種根中,有力量的,能夠自在地,隨著所覺知的境界而行動。就像那個人把六種眾生繫在堅固的柱子上,它們各自用力想要去自己想去的地方,來回奔波疲憊不堪,因為被繩子束縛的緣故,最終還是依附於柱子。 諸位比丘!我說這個譬喻,是想為你們顯示其中的道理。這六種眾生,譬如六根;那堅固的柱子,譬如身念處。如果能夠好好地修習身念處,有念,不念色,看到可愛的顏色就不會產生執著,看到不可愛的顏色也不會產生厭惡;對於耳聽到的聲音、鼻子聞到的香味、舌頭嚐到的味道、身體感受到的觸感、意念所想的法,對於令人愉悅的法不會產生貪慾,對於不令人愉悅的法也不會產生厭惡。因此,比丘們!應當勤奮修習,多多安住于身念處。

English version: The dog, it likes to enter the village. The bird, it always wants to fly into the sky. The snake, it always wants to enter a hole. The jackal, it likes to go among the tombs. The 'Shishumara', it always wants to enter the sea. The monkey, it wants to enter the mountains and forests. These six kinds of beings are tied together, their desires are different, each wants to go to the place they like, each does not like other places; because they are bound, each uses its own strength, towards the direction it likes, but cannot break free. Just like this, the six senses face various different realms, each seeks the realm it likes, and does not like other realms. The eye sense always seeks lovely colors, and for unlovely colors, it generates aversion. The ear sense always seeks pleasant sounds, and for unpleasant sounds, it generates aversion. The nose sense always seeks pleasant fragrances, and for unpleasant fragrances, it generates aversion. The tongue sense always seeks delicious tastes, and for unpleasant tastes, it generates aversion. The body sense always seeks comfortable touches, and for uncomfortable touches, it generates aversion. The mind sense always seeks pleasant dharmas, and for unpleasant dharmas, it generates aversion. These six senses move in various different places, facing various different realms, each does not seek the realms of other senses. Among these six senses, those that are powerful are able to freely act according to the realm they perceive. Just like that person who ties six beings to a sturdy pillar, they each exert their strength to go where they want, running back and forth until exhausted, because they are bound by the rope, they ultimately rely on the pillar. Monks! I tell this parable to show you its meaning. These six beings are like the six senses; that sturdy pillar is like mindfulness of the body. If one can properly cultivate mindfulness of the body, with mindfulness, without mindfulness of form, seeing lovely colors will not generate attachment, and seeing unlovely colors will not generate aversion; for sounds heard by the ear, fragrances smelled by the nose, tastes tasted by the tongue, touches felt by the body, and dharmas thought by the mind, for pleasant dharmas, one will not generate desire, and for unpleasant dharmas, one will not generate aversion. Therefore, monks! You should diligently cultivate, and dwell much in mindfulness of the body.

(一一七二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如有四蚖蛇,兇惡毒虐,盛一篋中。時,有士夫聰明不愚,有智慧,求樂厭苦,求生厭死。時,有一士夫語向士夫言:『汝今取此篋盛毒蛇,摩拭洗浴,恩親養食,出內以時。若四毒蛇脫有惱者,或能殺汝,或令近死,汝當防護。』爾時,士夫恐怖馳走。『忽有五怨,拔刀隨逐,要求欲殺,汝當防護。』爾時,士夫畏四毒蛇及五拔刀怨,驅馳而走。

「人復語言:『士夫!內有六賊,隨逐伺汝,得便當殺,汝當防護。』爾時,士夫畏四毒蛇、五拔刀怨及內六賊,恐怖馳走,還入空村,見彼空舍,危朽腐毀,有諸惡物,捉皆危脆,無有堅固。

「人復語言:『士夫!是空聚落當有群賊,來必奄害汝。』爾時,士夫畏四毒蛇、五拔刀賊、內六惡賊、空村群賊,而復馳走。忽爾道路臨一大河,其水浚急,但見此岸有諸怖畏,而見彼岸安隱快樂,清涼無畏,無橋船可渡得至彼岸,作是思惟:『我取諸草木,縛束成筏,手足方便,渡至彼岸。』作是念已,即拾草木,依于岸傍,縛束成筏,手足方便,截流橫渡

佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地遵照奉行! (一一七二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如,有四條兇惡、有毒的蛇,被裝在一個箱子里。這時,有一個聰明不愚蠢、有智慧的男子,他追求快樂厭惡痛苦,追求生存厭惡死亡。這時,有一個人對這個男子說:『你現在拿這個裝有毒蛇的箱子,去擦拭、洗浴,像對待親人一樣餵養它們,按時讓它們出入。如果這四條毒蛇有傷害你的,可能會殺死你,或者讓你接近死亡,你應當小心防護。』這時,這個男子感到恐懼,趕緊逃跑。『忽然又有五個怨敵,拿著刀追趕你,想要殺死你,你應當小心防護。』這時,這個男子害怕四條毒蛇和五個持刀的怨敵,驅趕著自己逃跑。 『有人又說:『男子!你體內有六個盜賊,跟隨著你伺機而動,一旦有機會就會殺死你,你應當小心防護。』這時,這個男子害怕四條毒蛇、五個持刀的怨敵以及體內的六個盜賊,感到恐懼,趕緊逃跑,然後進入一個空村,看到那些空房子,破舊腐朽,裡面有很多不好的東西,拿起來都很脆弱,沒有堅固的東西。 『有人又說:『男子!這個空村裡將會有很多強盜,他們來了一定會突然傷害你。』這時,這個男子害怕四條毒蛇、五個持刀的強盜、體內的六個惡賊、空村的強盜,又趕緊逃跑。忽然,道路盡頭出現一條大河,河水湍急,他看到此岸充滿恐懼,而看到彼岸安穩快樂,清涼無畏,沒有橋樑或船隻可以渡到彼岸,於是他思考:『我應該取一些草木,捆綁成筏,用手腳劃水,渡到彼岸。』這樣想后,他立即撿起草木,在岸邊捆綁成筏,用手腳劃水,橫渡河流。

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully accepted and practiced it! (1172) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Ghosita Garden in the country of Kausambi. Then, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'Suppose there are four venomous snakes, fierce and cruel, contained in a basket. At that time, there is a man who is intelligent and not foolish, who has wisdom, who seeks pleasure and detests suffering, who seeks life and detests death. Then, someone says to this man: 'Now, take this basket containing venomous snakes, rub and bathe them, feed them as if they were your relatives, and let them in and out at the proper times. If these four venomous snakes happen to harm you, they might kill you, or bring you near death, you should protect yourself.' At that time, the man was terrified and ran away. 'Suddenly, there are five enemies, drawing their swords and chasing after you, wanting to kill you, you should protect yourself.' At that time, the man, fearing the four venomous snakes and the five sword-wielding enemies, drove himself to flee. 'Someone then says: 'Man! There are six thieves within you, following you and waiting for an opportunity, and they will kill you when they get the chance, you should protect yourself.' At that time, the man, fearing the four venomous snakes, the five sword-wielding enemies, and the six thieves within him, was terrified and ran away, then entered an empty village, seeing those empty houses, dilapidated and decayed, with many bad things inside, all fragile when picked up, with nothing solid. 'Someone then says: 'Man! There will be many robbers in this empty village, and they will surely harm you suddenly when they come.' At that time, the man, fearing the four venomous snakes, the five sword-wielding robbers, the six evil thieves within him, and the robbers of the empty village, fled again. Suddenly, at the end of the road, there appeared a large river, its water swift and rapid. He saw that this shore was full of fear, while he saw that the other shore was peaceful and joyful, cool and fearless. There was no bridge or boat to cross to the other shore, so he thought: 'I should take some grass and wood, bind them into a raft, and use my hands and feet to cross to the other shore.' Having thought this, he immediately picked up grass and wood, bound them into a raft by the shore, and used his hands and feet to cross the river.


「如是士夫免四毒蛇、五拔刀怨、六內惡賊,復得脫于空村群賊,渡于浚流,離於此岸種種怖畏,得至彼岸安隱快樂。我說此譬,當解其義。比丘!篋者,譬此身色粗四大,四大所造精血之體,穢食長養,沐浴衣服,無常變壞危脆之法。毒蛇者,譬四大——地界、水界、火界、風界。地界若諍,能令身死,及以近死;水、火、風諍亦復如是。五拔刀怨者,譬五受陰。六內賊者,譬六愛喜。空村者,譬六內入。善男子!觀察眼入處,是無常變壞,執持眼者,亦是無常虛偽之法;耳、鼻、舌、身、意入處亦復如是。空村群賊者,譬外六入處。眼為可意、不可意色所害;耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意,為可意、不可意法所害。浚流者,譬四流——欲流、有流、見流、無明流。河者,譬三愛——欲愛、色愛、無色愛。此岸多恐怖者,譬有身。彼岸清涼安樂者,譬無餘涅槃。筏者,譬八正道。手足方便截流渡者,譬精進勇猛到彼岸。婆羅門住處者,譬如來、應、等正覺。

「如是,比丘!大師慈悲安慰弟子,為其所作;我今已作,汝今亦當作其所作,于空閑樹下,房舍清凈,敷草為座,露地、冢間,遠離邊坐,精勤禪思,慎莫放逸,令後悔恨!此則是我教授之法

現代漢語譯本 『如此,修行之人得以免除四種毒蛇、五種拔刀的怨敵、六種內在的惡賊,又得以脫離空村的群賊,渡過深流,遠離此岸的種種恐懼,到達彼岸的安穩快樂。我說這個譬喻,應當理解其中的含義。比丘們!篋,譬喻這身體的色身,由粗大的四大組成,四大所造的精血之體,以污穢的食物滋養,需要沐浴和穿衣,是無常變壞、危脆的法。毒蛇,譬喻四大——地界、水界、火界、風界。地界如果發生衝突,能使身體死亡,或者接近死亡;水、火、風的衝突也是如此。五種拔刀的怨敵,譬喻五受陰。六種內在的賊,譬喻六種愛喜。空村,譬喻六內入。善男子!觀察眼入處,是無常變壞的,執持眼者,也是無常虛偽的法;耳、鼻、舌、身、意入處也是如此。空村的群賊,譬喻外六入處。眼被可意、不可意的色所傷害;耳被聲音、鼻被香氣、舌被味道、身被觸感、意被可意、不可意的法所傷害。深流,譬喻四種流——欲流、有流、見流、無明流。河流,譬喻三種愛——欲愛、色愛、無色愛。此岸多恐怖,譬喻有身。彼岸清涼安樂,譬喻無餘涅槃。筏,譬喻八正道。手足方便截流渡過,譬喻精進勇猛到達彼岸。婆羅門住處,譬喻如來、應供、等正覺。 『如此,比丘們!大師慈悲安慰弟子,為他們所做的事情;我現在已經做了,你們現在也應當做你們應當做的事情,在空閑的樹下,清凈的房舍中,鋪草為座,在露地、墳墓之間,遠離喧囂而坐,精勤禪思,謹慎不要放逸,以致後悔!這就是我所教授的法。』

English version 'Thus, a person can avoid the four poisonous snakes, the five enemies with drawn swords, and the six internal thieves. They can also escape the bandits in the empty village, cross the deep stream, leave behind all the fears of this shore, and reach the peaceful and joyful other shore. I speak this parable so that you may understand its meaning. Monks! The basket is like this body, the physical form composed of the four great elements, the essence of blood and flesh created by the four elements, nourished by impure food, requiring bathing and clothing, a law of impermanence, decay, and fragility. The poisonous snakes are like the four great elements—earth, water, fire, and wind. If the earth element is in conflict, it can cause death or near-death; the conflicts of water, fire, and wind are also the same. The five enemies with drawn swords are like the five aggregates of clinging. The six internal thieves are like the six forms of craving and delight. The empty village is like the six internal sense bases. Good men! Observe the eye sense base, it is impermanent and decaying, and the one who holds onto the eye is also an impermanent and false law; the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind sense bases are also the same. The bandits in the empty village are like the six external sense bases. The eye is harmed by agreeable and disagreeable sights; the ear by sounds, the nose by smells, the tongue by tastes, the body by touch, and the mind by agreeable and disagreeable phenomena. The deep stream is like the four floods—the flood of desire, the flood of becoming, the flood of views, and the flood of ignorance. The river is like the three cravings—the craving for sensual pleasure, the craving for existence, and the craving for non-existence. This shore, full of fear, is like having a body. The other shore, cool and peaceful, is like Nirvana without remainder. The raft is like the Noble Eightfold Path. The skillful use of hands and feet to cross the stream is like diligent and courageous progress to the other shore. The dwelling place of the Brahmin is like the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One.' 'Thus, monks! The great teacher compassionately comforts his disciples, doing what needs to be done for them; I have now done what I needed to do, and you should now also do what you need to do, in the quiet shade of trees, in clean dwellings, spreading grass for a seat, in open spaces, among tombs, sitting far from the edges, diligently meditating, being careful not to be negligent, lest you regret it! This is the teaching I have given.'


。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行!

(一一七三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住拘睒彌國瞿師羅園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「多聞聖弟子於一切苦法集、滅、味、患、離如實知見,見五欲猶如火坑。如是觀察五欲已,於五欲貪、欲愛、慾念、欲著不永覆心,知其欲心行處、住處,而自防閉;行處、住處逆防閉已,隨其行處、住處,世間貪、憂、惡不善法不漏其心。

「云何名為多聞聖弟子於一切苦法集、滅、味、患、離如實知見?多聞聖弟子於此苦聖諦如實知,此苦集、此苦滅、此苦滅道跡聖諦如實知,是名多聞聖弟子於一切苦法集、滅、味、患、離如實知見。

「云何多聞聖弟子見五欲如火坑,乃至世間貪、憂、惡不善法不永覆心?譬如近一聚落,邊有深坑,滿中盛火,無有煙焰。時,有士夫不愚不癡,聰明黠慧,樂樂厭苦,樂生惡死。彼作是念:『此有火坑,滿中盛火,我若墮中,必死無疑。』于彼生遠、思遠、欲遠。如是多聞聖弟子見五欲如火坑,乃至世間貪、憂、惡不善法不永覆心;若行處、住處逆防逆知,乃至世間貪、憂、惡不善法不漏其心。

「譬如聚落邊有㮈林,多諸棘刺,時,有士夫入于林中,有所營作

現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行! (一一七三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在拘睒彌國的瞿師羅園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『多聞的聖弟子對於一切苦的生起、滅除、滋味、禍患、解脫都能如實地知曉和看見,視五欲如同火坑。這樣觀察五欲之後,對於五欲的貪婪、慾望、念頭、執著不會長久地矇蔽內心,知道慾望的心念所行之處、所住之處,從而自我防範和封閉;在慾望的心念所行之處、所住之處反向防範和封閉之後,隨著慾望的心念所行之處、所住之處,世間的貪婪、憂愁、邪惡不善之法就不會滲漏到他的心中。 『什麼叫做多聞的聖弟子對於一切苦的生起、滅除、滋味、禍患、解脫都能如實地知曉和看見呢?多聞的聖弟子對於這苦聖諦如實地知曉,對於這苦的生起、這苦的滅除、這苦的滅除之道聖諦如實地知曉,這就叫做多聞的聖弟子對於一切苦的生起、滅除、滋味、禍患、解脫都能如實地知曉和看見。 『什麼叫做多聞的聖弟子視五欲如同火坑,乃至世間的貪婪、憂愁、邪惡不善之法不會長久地矇蔽內心呢?譬如靠近一個村落,旁邊有一個深坑,裡面盛滿了火焰,沒有煙霧和火焰。這時,有一個人不愚蠢也不癡呆,聰明而有智慧,喜歡快樂而厭惡痛苦,喜歡生存而厭惡死亡。他這樣想:『這裡有一個火坑,裡面盛滿了火焰,我如果掉進去,必定會死無疑。』對於那個火坑,他會產生遠離、思考遠離、想要遠離的念頭。像這樣,多聞的聖弟子視五欲如同火坑,乃至世間的貪婪、憂愁、邪惡不善之法不會長久地矇蔽內心;如果對於慾望的心念所行之處、所住之處反向防範和認知,乃至世間的貪婪、憂愁、邪惡不善之法就不會滲漏到他的心中。 『譬如村落旁邊有一片棗樹林,長滿了荊棘,這時,有一個人進入樹林,有所營作

English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it! (1173) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Ghosita Garden in Kosambi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'A well-learned noble disciple truly knows and sees the arising, cessation, gratification, danger, and escape from all suffering, viewing the five sensual pleasures as a pit of fire. Having observed the five sensual pleasures in this way, greed, desire, thoughts, and attachments to the five sensual pleasures do not long cover his mind. Knowing the places where the mind of desire goes and stays, he guards and closes himself off; having guarded and closed himself off from the places where the mind of desire goes and stays, worldly greed, sorrow, and evil unwholesome states do not leak into his mind, following the places where the mind of desire goes and stays.' 'What is it called that a well-learned noble disciple truly knows and sees the arising, cessation, gratification, danger, and escape from all suffering? A well-learned noble disciple truly knows the noble truth of suffering, truly knows the arising of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering. This is called a well-learned noble disciple truly knowing and seeing the arising, cessation, gratification, danger, and escape from all suffering.' 'What is it called that a well-learned noble disciple views the five sensual pleasures as a pit of fire, and worldly greed, sorrow, and evil unwholesome states do not long cover his mind? For example, near a village, there is a deep pit, full of fire, without smoke or flames. Then, there is a man who is neither foolish nor dull, intelligent and wise, who loves pleasure and hates pain, who loves life and hates death. He thinks: 『Here is a pit of fire, full of fire, and if I fall into it, I will surely die.』 He develops a sense of distance, a thought of distance, and a desire for distance from that pit. In the same way, a well-learned noble disciple views the five sensual pleasures as a pit of fire, and worldly greed, sorrow, and evil unwholesome states do not long cover his mind; if he guards and knows the places where the mind of desire goes and stays, worldly greed, sorrow, and evil unwholesome states will not leak into his mind.' 'For example, near a village, there is a jujube forest, full of thorns. Then, there is a man who enters the forest, having some business to do.'


。入林中已,前後左右上下盡有棘刺。爾時,士夫正念而行、正念來去、正念明目、正念端視、正念屈身。所以者何?莫令利刺傷壞身故。多聞聖弟子亦復如是,若依聚落城邑而住,晨朝著衣持缽,入村乞食,善護其身,善執其心,正念安住、正念而行、正念明目、正念觀察。所以者何?莫令利刺傷聖法、律。

「云何利刺傷聖法、律?謂可意愛念之色,是名利刺傷聖法、律。云何是可意愛念之色傷聖法、律?謂五欲功德,眼識色生愛念,長養欲樂;耳識聲、鼻識香、舌識味、身識觸生愛念,長養欲樂,是名可愛念色傷聖法、律;是名多聞聖弟子所行處、所住處逆防逆知,乃至不令世間貪、憂、不善法以漏其心。

「或時多聞聖弟子生於正念,生惡不善覺,長養欲、長養恚、長養癡,是鈍根;多聞聖弟子雖起集滅,以欲覆心。譬如鐵丸,燒令極熱,以少水灑,尋即干消,如是多聞聖弟子鈍根生念,尋滅如是。多聞聖弟子如是行,如是住。若王、大臣若親往詣其所,請以俸祿,語言:『男子!何用剃髮,執持瓦器,身著袈裟,家家乞食為?不如安慰服五欲樂,行施作福。』云何?比丘!多聞聖弟子,國王、大臣、諸親檀越請以俸祿,彼當還戒退減以不?」

答曰:「不也

現代漢語譯本:進入樹林后,前後左右上下到處都是荊棘。這時,修行人應當保持正念行走、正念來去、正念看清前方、正念端正地看、正念彎曲身體。為什麼要這樣做呢?是爲了不讓鋒利的荊棘傷害身體。博學多聞的聖弟子也是這樣,如果住在村落或城鎮,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入村莊乞食,要好好保護自己的身體,好好守護自己的心,保持正念安住、正念行走、正念看清前方、正念觀察。為什麼要這樣做呢?是爲了不讓鋒利的荊棘傷害神聖的佛法和戒律。 什麼是傷害神聖佛法和戒律的鋒利荊棘呢?就是那些令人喜愛和貪戀的色相,這被稱為傷害神聖佛法和戒律的鋒利荊棘。什麼又是令人喜愛和貪戀的色相傷害神聖佛法和戒律呢?就是五種慾望的快樂,眼睛看到美好的顏色產生愛戀,滋長慾望的快樂;耳朵聽到好聽的聲音、鼻子聞到好聞的香味、舌頭嚐到好吃的味道、身體感受到舒適的觸感,產生愛戀,滋長慾望的快樂,這被稱為令人喜愛和貪戀的色相傷害神聖佛法和戒律;這就是博學多聞的聖弟子所行之處、所住之處要逆向防範和預先知道的,甚至不讓世間的貪婪、憂愁、不善的念頭滲漏到心中。 有時,博學多聞的聖弟子會生起正念,但也會生起邪惡不善的念頭,滋長慾望、滋長嗔恨、滋長愚癡,這是根基遲鈍的表現;博學多聞的聖弟子雖然會生起集滅的念頭,但會被慾望矇蔽內心。就像一個燒得滾燙的鐵球,灑上少許水,立刻就會乾涸消失,博學多聞的聖弟子根基遲鈍,生起的念頭也會像這樣迅速消失。博學多聞的聖弟子就是這樣修行,這樣安住。如果國王、大臣或者親友來到他那裡,用俸祿來請他,說:『男子!你為什麼要剃光頭髮,拿著瓦缽,穿著袈裟,挨家挨戶乞討呢?不如享受五欲的快樂,行善積福。』比丘們,你們說,博學多聞的聖弟子,當國王、大臣、親友施主用俸祿來請他時,他會因此還俗,放棄戒律嗎? 回答說:『不會的。』

English version: Having entered the forest, there are thorns all around, front, back, left, right, above, and below. At that time, the practitioner should walk with mindfulness, go back and forth with mindfulness, see clearly with mindfulness, look straight with mindfulness, and bend the body with mindfulness. Why is this so? It is so that the sharp thorns do not harm the body. The learned noble disciple is also like this. If dwelling in a village or town, in the morning, having put on robes and taken the bowl, they enter the village to beg for food, carefully protecting their body, carefully guarding their mind, abiding with mindfulness, walking with mindfulness, seeing clearly with mindfulness, and observing with mindfulness. Why is this so? It is so that the sharp thorns do not harm the sacred Dharma and discipline. What are the sharp thorns that harm the sacred Dharma and discipline? They are the desirable and cherished forms, which are called the sharp thorns that harm the sacred Dharma and discipline. How do these desirable and cherished forms harm the sacred Dharma and discipline? It is through the pleasures of the five senses. When the eye recognizes a beautiful color, it gives rise to attachment, nurturing the pleasure of desire; when the ear recognizes a pleasant sound, the nose a pleasant smell, the tongue a pleasant taste, and the body a pleasant touch, they give rise to attachment, nurturing the pleasure of desire. This is called the desirable and cherished forms harming the sacred Dharma and discipline. This is the place where the learned noble disciple should practice, the place where they should dwell, guarding against and knowing in advance, so that worldly greed, sorrow, and unwholesome thoughts do not leak into their mind. Sometimes, the learned noble disciple may give rise to mindfulness, but they may also give rise to evil and unwholesome thoughts, nurturing desire, nurturing hatred, and nurturing delusion. This is a sign of dull faculties. Although the learned noble disciple may give rise to thoughts of arising and ceasing, their mind is covered by desire. Just like an iron ball heated to extreme heat, if a little water is sprinkled on it, it will immediately dry up and disappear. The learned noble disciple with dull faculties, when a thought arises, it will quickly disappear like this. This is how the learned noble disciple practices and dwells. If a king, minister, or relative comes to them, offering them a salary, saying, 'Man! Why do you shave your head, carry a clay bowl, wear robes, and beg for food from house to house? Why not enjoy the pleasures of the five senses and perform good deeds to accumulate merit?' Monks, what do you say? When a king, minister, or relative benefactor offers a salary to the learned noble disciple, will they then return to lay life and abandon the precepts? They replied, 'No, they will not.'


。所以者何?多聞聖弟子於一切苦法集、滅、味、患、離如實知見故,見火坑,譬五欲,乃至世間貪、憂、惡不善法不永覆心,行處、住處逆防逆知,乃至世間貪、憂、惡不善法不漏其心。若復為國王、大臣、親族請以俸祿,還戒退減,無有是處!」

佛告諸比丘:「善哉!善哉!彼多聞聖弟子其心長夜臨趣、流注、浚輸,向于遠離,向于離欲,而於涅槃,寂靜舍離,樂於涅槃;于有漏處,寂滅清涼。若為國王、長者、親族所請,還戒退減者,無有是處!余得大苦。譬如恒河,長夜臨趣、流注、浚輸東方,多眾斷截,欲令臨趣、流注、浚輸西方,寧能得不?」

答言:「不能。世尊!所以者何?恒水長夜流注東方,欲令西流,未而可得,彼諸大眾徒辛苦耳!如是多聞聖弟子長夜臨趣、流注、浚輸,向于遠離,乃至欲令退減,無有是處,徒辛苦耳!」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行!

(一一七四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住阿毗阇恒水邊

現代漢語譯本:這是什麼原因呢?因為博學多聞的聖弟子對於一切苦的生起、滅除、滋味、禍患、以及解脫,都能如實地知曉和觀察。他們看到火坑,就如同看到五欲一樣,乃至世間的貪婪、憂愁、邪惡和不善之法,都不能長久地覆蓋他們的心。他們在行走和居住時,都能預先防範和覺察,乃至世間的貪婪、憂愁、邪惡和不善之法,都不能滲漏到他們的心中。如果因為國王、大臣或親族的邀請,以俸祿為誘惑,就放棄戒律,使之退減,這是不可能的! 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『說得好!說得好!那些博學多聞的聖弟子,他們的心長久以來都傾向、流注、彙集于遠離,傾向於離欲,並且對於涅槃,寂靜舍離,樂於涅槃;對於有漏之處,則感到寂滅清涼。如果因為國王、長者或親族的邀請,就放棄戒律,使之退減,這是不可能的!否則將會遭受巨大的痛苦。』譬如恒河,長久以來都傾向、流注、彙集于東方,如果很多人想要截斷它,讓它傾向、流注、彙集于西方,這能做到嗎? 他們回答說:『不能,世尊!這是什麼原因呢?因為恒河之水長久以來都流向東方,想要讓它流向西方,是不可能做到的,那些人只是徒勞辛苦罷了!』就像這樣,博學多聞的聖弟子長久以來都傾向、流注、彙集于遠離,乃至想要讓他們放棄戒律,使之退減,這是不可能的,只是徒勞辛苦罷了! 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行! (一一七四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在阿毗阇恒水邊。

English version: What is the reason for this? It is because the well-learned noble disciple truly knows and sees the arising, cessation, taste, danger, and escape from all suffering. They see a fire pit as they see the five desires, and even worldly greed, sorrow, evil, and unwholesome things do not long cover their minds. In their walking and dwelling, they are able to preemptively guard and perceive, so that even worldly greed, sorrow, evil, and unwholesome things do not leak into their minds. If, because of an invitation from a king, minister, or relative, with the lure of a salary, they were to abandon the precepts and cause them to diminish, this is impossible! The Buddha told the monks, 'Well said! Well said! Those well-learned noble disciples, their minds have long inclined, flowed, and converged towards detachment, towards freedom from desire, and towards Nirvana, peaceful abandonment, and joy in Nirvana; towards the defiled places, they feel extinguished and cool. If, because of an invitation from a king, elder, or relative, they were to abandon the precepts and cause them to diminish, this is impossible! Otherwise, they would suffer great pain.' For example, the Ganges River has long inclined, flowed, and converged towards the east. If many people wanted to cut it off and make it incline, flow, and converge towards the west, could this be done? They replied, 'No, Venerable Sir! What is the reason for this? Because the water of the Ganges has long flowed towards the east, it is impossible to make it flow towards the west, those people would only be toiling in vain!' Just like this, the well-learned noble disciple has long inclined, flowed, and converged towards detachment, and to make them abandon the precepts and cause them to diminish is impossible, it is only toiling in vain! After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them! (1174) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling by the river Abhijah.


。時,有比丘來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面,白佛言:「善哉!世尊!為我說法,我聞法已,獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住:『所以族姓子剃除鬚髮,正信非家,出家學道,于上增修梵行,見法自知作證:「我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有。」』」

爾時,世尊觀察水,見恒水中有一大樹,隨流而下,語彼比丘:「汝見此恒水中大樹流不?」

答言:「已見。世尊!」

佛告比丘:「此大樹不著此岸,不著彼岸,不沉水底,不閡洲渚,不入洄澓,人亦不取,非人不取,又不腐敗,當隨水流,順趣、流注、浚輸大海不?」

比丘白佛:「如是。世尊!」

佛言:「比丘亦復如是。亦不著此岸,不著彼岸,不沉水底,不閡洲渚,不入洄澓,人亦不取,非人不取,又不腐敗,臨趣、流注、浚輸涅槃。」

比丘白佛:「云何此岸?云何彼岸?云何沉沒?云何洲渚?云何洄澓?云何人取?云何非人取?云何腐敗?善哉世尊!為我廣說,我聞法已,當獨一靜處,專精思惟,不放逸住,乃至自知不受後有。」

佛告比丘:「此岸者,謂六入處。彼岸者,謂六外入處

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位比丘來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退到一旁站立,對佛陀說:『太好了,世尊!請為我說法,我聽聞佛法后,會獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不懈怠地修行:『我之所以出身于名門望族,剃除鬚髮,以堅定的信仰離開家庭,出家修道,就是在更高的層次上修習清凈的行為,親身證悟佛法,自己知道並確證:「我的生死已經終結,清凈的行為已經建立,該做的已經完成,自己知道不會再有來世。」』 那時,世尊觀察水流,看到恒河中有一棵大樹,順著水流而下,就對那位比丘說:『你看到這恒河中的大樹在漂流嗎?』 比丘回答說:『看到了,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘:『這棵大樹不依附此岸,不依附彼岸,不沉入水底,不被洲渚阻礙,不進入漩渦,人不會去撈取它,非人也不會去撈取它,而且它也不會腐爛,它會順著水流,朝著大海流去,最終匯入大海,不是嗎?』 比丘對佛陀說:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀說:『比丘也是如此。不依附此岸,不依附彼岸,不沉入水底,不被洲渚阻礙,不進入漩渦,人不會去撈取他,非人也不會去撈取他,而且他也不會腐爛,他會朝著涅槃流去,最終匯入涅槃。』 比丘對佛陀說:『什麼是此岸?什麼是彼岸?什麼是沉沒?什麼是洲渚?什麼是漩渦?什麼是人取?什麼是非人取?什麼是腐敗?太好了,世尊!請為我詳細解說,我聽聞佛法后,會獨自一人在安靜的地方,專心精進地思考,不懈怠地修行,直到自己知道不會再有來世。』 佛陀告訴比丘:『此岸指的是六根(眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意)的所在。彼岸指的是六塵(色、聲、香、味、觸、法)的所在。

English version: At that time, a monk came to the Buddha's dwelling, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then stood to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'Excellent, O Blessed One! Please teach me the Dharma. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, and live without negligence: 『The reason why a son of a good family shaves his head and beard, leaves home with true faith, and goes forth to study the Way, is to cultivate pure conduct at a higher level, to personally realize the Dharma, and to know and confirm for myself: 「My birth is exhausted, the pure conduct is established, what needs to be done is done, and I know for myself that there will be no future existence.」』 Then, the Blessed One observed the water and saw a large tree in the Ganges River flowing downstream. He said to the monk, 'Do you see this large tree flowing in the Ganges River?' The monk replied, 'I have seen it, O Blessed One!' The Buddha told the monk, 'This large tree does not cling to this shore, does not cling to the other shore, does not sink to the bottom of the water, is not obstructed by islands, does not enter whirlpools, people do not take it, non-humans do not take it, and it does not decay. It will follow the flow of the water, heading towards the great ocean, and eventually merge into the ocean, will it not?' The monk said to the Buddha, 'Yes, O Blessed One!' The Buddha said, 'A monk is also like this. He does not cling to this shore, does not cling to the other shore, does not sink to the bottom of the water, is not obstructed by islands, does not enter whirlpools, people do not take him, non-humans do not take him, and he does not decay. He will flow towards Nirvana, and eventually merge into Nirvana.' The monk said to the Buddha, 'What is this shore? What is the other shore? What is sinking? What are islands? What are whirlpools? What is being taken by people? What is being taken by non-humans? What is decay? Excellent, O Blessed One! Please explain this in detail for me. Having heard the Dharma, I will dwell alone in a quiet place, diligently contemplate, and live without negligence, until I know for myself that there will be no future existence.' The Buddha told the monk, 'This shore refers to the six sense bases (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind). The other shore refers to the six sense objects (form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and mental objects).'


。人取者,猶如有一習近俗人及出家者,若喜、若憂、若苦、若樂,彼彼所作,悉與共同,始終相隨,是名人取。非人取者,猶如有人愿修梵行,我今持戒、苦行、修諸梵行,當生在處,在處天上,是非人取。洄澓者,猶如有一還戒退轉。腐敗者,犯戒行惡不善法,腐敗寡聞,猶莠稗、吹貝之聲,非沙門為沙門像,非梵行為梵行像。如是,比丘!是名不著此彼岸,乃至浚輸涅槃。」

時,彼比丘聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

時,彼比丘獨一靜處,思惟佛所說水流大樹經教,乃至自知不受後有,得阿羅漢。

時,有牧牛人,名難屠,去佛不遠,執杖牧牛。比丘去已,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,於一面住,白佛言:「世尊!我今堪能不著此岸,不著彼岸,不沉沒,不閡洲渚,非人所取,不非人取,不入洄澓,亦不腐敗,我得於世尊正法、律中出家修梵行不?」

佛告牧牛者:「汝送牛還主不?」

牧牛者言:「諸牛中悉有犢牛,自能還歸,不須送也,但當聽我出家學道。」

佛告牧牛者:「牛雖能還家,汝今已受食人衣食,要當還報其家主。」

時,牧牛者聞佛教已,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去

現代漢語譯本:『人取』,就像一個習慣於世俗的人或者出家之人,無論喜悅、憂愁、痛苦、快樂,他們所做的一切都與他人相同,始終相隨,這叫做『人取』。『非人取』,就像有人願意修行梵行,心想『我今持戒、苦行、修各種梵行,應當投生到各處,各處天上』,這叫做『非人取』。『洄澓』,就像有人還俗退轉。『腐敗』,指犯戒行惡不善法,腐敗且寡聞,就像莠草和吹貝的聲音,不是沙門的樣子,不是梵行的樣子。比丘們,這就是所謂的不執著此岸彼岸,乃至到達涅槃的彼岸。 當時,那位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 當時,那位比丘獨自一人在安靜的地方,思惟佛陀所說的水流大樹的教誨,最終自知不再有後世的輪迴,證得阿羅漢果位。 當時,有一個名叫難屠的牧牛人,離佛陀不遠,拿著杖子牧牛。比丘離開后,來到世尊面前,頂禮佛足,站在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!我現在能夠不執著此岸,不執著彼岸,不沉沒,不被洲渚阻礙,不是人所取,也不是非人所取,不入洄澓,也不腐敗,我可以在世尊的正法和戒律中出家修行梵行嗎?』 佛陀告訴牧牛人:『你把牛送還給主人了嗎?』 牧牛人說:『這些牛中都有小牛犢,它們自己能回家,不需要我送,只請允許我出家學道。』 佛陀告訴牧牛人:『牛雖然能自己回家,但你現在已經接受了別人的衣食,應當報答你的主人。』 當時,牧牛人聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。

English version: 『Human grasping』 is like a person accustomed to worldly ways or a monastic, whether in joy, sorrow, pain, or pleasure, all their actions are the same as others, always following along. This is called 『human grasping.』 『Non-human grasping』 is like someone who wishes to practice the holy life, thinking, 『I will now uphold the precepts, practice austerities, and cultivate various holy practices, and I should be reborn in various places, in various heavens.』 This is called 『non-human grasping.』 『Eddying』 is like someone who has renounced the precepts and regressed. 『Decay』 refers to breaking precepts and engaging in evil and unwholesome actions, being corrupt and having little learning, like weeds and the sound of a conch shell, not the appearance of a monastic, not the appearance of a holy life. Thus, bhikkhus, this is called not being attached to this shore or the other shore, and even reaching the other shore of Nirvana. Then, that bhikkhu, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, paid his respects, and departed. Then, that bhikkhu, alone in a quiet place, contemplated the Buddha's teaching of the river and the great tree, and ultimately knew that he would not have future rebirths, and attained the state of Arahant. At that time, there was a cowherd named Nandatu, not far from the Buddha, holding a staff and herding cows. After the bhikkhu left, he went to the World Honored One, bowed at his feet, stood to one side, and said to the Buddha, 『World Honored One! I am now capable of not being attached to this shore, not being attached to the other shore, not sinking, not being hindered by the islands, not being grasped by humans, nor by non-humans, not entering the eddy, nor decaying. May I be allowed to leave home and practice the holy life in the World Honored One's true Dharma and discipline?』 The Buddha said to the cowherd, 『Have you returned the cows to their owner?』 The cowherd said, 『Among these cows are calves, they can return home by themselves, there is no need for me to take them back, just please allow me to leave home and learn the Way.』 The Buddha said to the cowherd, 『Although the cows can return home by themselves, you have now received food and clothing from others, you should repay your master.』 Then, the cowherd, having heard the Buddha's teaching, rejoiced and was pleased, paid his respects, and departed.


時,尊者舍利弗在此會中,牧牛者去不久,白佛言:「世尊!難屠牧牛者求欲出家,世尊何故遣還歸家?」

佛告舍利弗:「難屠牧牛者若還住家受五欲者,無有是處!牛付主人已,輒自當還,於此法,律出家學道,凈修梵行,乃至自知不受後有,得阿羅漢。」

時,難屠牧牛者以牛付主人已,還至佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!牛已付主,聽我于正法、律出家學道。」

佛告難屠牧牛者:「汝得於此法、律出家、受具足,得比丘分。」

出家已,思惟:「所以族姓子剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道,增修梵行,乃至自知不受後有。」成阿羅漢。

(一一七五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘獨處坐禪,作是思惟:「比丘云何知、云何見,得見清凈?」作是念已,詣諸比丘,語諸比丘言:「諸尊比丘!云何知、云何見,令見清凈?」

比丘答言:「尊者!於六觸入處集滅、味、患、離如實正知。比丘!作如是知、如是見者,得見清凈

現代漢語譯本: 當時,尊者舍利弗在這法會中,牧牛人難屠離開不久,就對佛說:『世尊!難屠牧牛人請求出家,世尊為什麼把他遣送回家呢?』 佛告訴舍利弗:『難屠牧牛人如果還俗在家享受五欲,這是不可能的!他把牛交給主人後,自然會回來,在這佛法和戒律中出家修道,清凈地修行,乃至自己知道不再有來世,證得阿羅漢果。』 當時,難屠牧牛人把牛交給主人後,回到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,對佛說:『世尊!牛已經交給主人了,請允許我在這正法和戒律中出家修道。』 佛告訴難屠牧牛人:『你可以在這佛法和戒律中出家,受具足戒,成為比丘。』 他出家后,思惟:『為什麼族姓子要剃除鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信離開家庭,出家修道,增進修行,乃至自己知道不再有來世。』最終證得阿羅漢果。

(一一七五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位比丘獨自禪坐,這樣思惟:『比丘如何知道、如何見到,才能見到清凈?』這樣想后,就去拜訪其他比丘,對他們說:『諸位尊者!如何知道、如何見到,才能見到清凈?』 比丘們回答說:『尊者!對於六種觸入處的集起、滅盡、滋味、過患、出離如實地正確瞭解。比丘!像這樣知道、這樣見到,就能見到清凈。』

English version: At that time, the Venerable Sariputra, in that assembly, not long after the cowherd Nandatu had left, said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! Nandatu the cowherd requested to leave home, why did the World Honored One send him back home?' The Buddha told Sariputra, 'It is impossible for Nandatu the cowherd to return to lay life and indulge in the five desires! After handing over the cow to its owner, he will naturally return and, in this Dharma and discipline, leave home to practice the Way, purely cultivating the Brahma-faring, until he knows for himself that he will not have a future existence, and attain Arhatship.' At that time, Nandatu the cowherd, after handing over the cow to its owner, returned to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and withdrew to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! The cow has been handed over to its owner, please allow me to leave home and practice the Way in this righteous Dharma and discipline.' The Buddha told Nandatu the cowherd, 'You may leave home in this Dharma and discipline, receive full ordination, and become a bhikkhu.' After leaving home, he contemplated, 'Why do sons of good families shave their heads and beards, wear the monastic robe, with right faith leave their homes, leave home to practice the Way, increase their cultivation, until they know for themselves that they will not have a future existence?' He eventually attained Arhatship.

(1175)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti.

At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu who was sitting alone in meditation, thinking, 'How does a bhikkhu know, how does a bhikkhu see, to see purity?' Having thought this, he went to visit the other bhikkhus and said to them, 'Venerable ones! How does one know, how does one see, to see purity?' The bhikkhus replied, 'Venerable one! One truly knows the arising, cessation, taste, danger, and escape of the six sense bases. Bhikkhu! By knowing and seeing in this way, one sees purity.'


。」

是比丘聞彼比丘記說,心不歡喜,復詣余比丘所,問彼比丘言:「諸尊比丘!云何知、云何見,得見清凈?」

彼比丘答言:「於六界集、滅、味、患、離如實正知。如是,比丘!如是知、如是見,得見清凈。」

時,比丘聞其記說,心亦不喜,復詣余比丘,作是問言:「比丘!云何知、云何見,得見清凈?」

彼比丘答言:「於五受陰觀察,如病、如癰、如刺、如殺,無常、苦、空、非我;作如是知、如是見,得見清凈。」

是比丘聞諸比丘記說,心亦不喜,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我獨靜思惟:『比丘云何知、云何見,得見清凈?』作是念已,詣諸比丘,三處所說,具白世尊,我聞彼說,心不歡喜,來詣世尊。故以此義請問世尊:『比丘云何知、云何見,得見清凈?』」

佛告比丘:「過去世時,有一士夫,未曾見緊獸,往詣曾見緊獸者,問曾見緊獸士夫言:『汝知緊獸不?』答言:『知。』復問:『其狀云何?』答言:『其色黑如火燒柱。』當彼見時,緊獸黑色,如火燒柱。

「時,彼士夫聞緊獸黑色如火燒柱,不大歡喜,復更詣一曾見緊獸士夫,復問彼言:『汝知緊獸不?』彼答言:『知

那位比丘聽了另一位比丘的說法,心中不悅,又去到另一位比丘那裡,問那位比丘說:『諸位尊者比丘!如何知曉、如何觀察,才能達到見清凈?』 那位比丘回答說:『對於六界的集起、滅去、滋味、禍患、離散如實正確地知曉。如此,比丘!如此知曉、如此觀察,才能達到見清凈。』 當時,那位比丘聽了這番說法,心中也不高興,又去到另一位比丘那裡,這樣問道:『比丘!如何知曉、如何觀察,才能達到見清凈?』 那位比丘回答說:『對於五受陰進行觀察,如同疾病、如同毒瘡、如同尖刺、如同殺戮,是無常的、痛苦的、空虛的、非我的;如此知曉、如此觀察,才能達到見清凈。』 這位比丘聽了各位比丘的說法,心中也不高興,就去到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我獨自靜思:『比丘如何知曉、如何觀察,才能達到見清凈?』這樣想過後,就去問各位比丘,他們三處所說的,我都如實稟告世尊,我聽了他們的說法,心中不高興,就來拜見世尊。所以想以此事請問世尊:『比丘如何知曉、如何觀察,才能達到見清凈?』』 佛陀告訴比丘:『過去世時,有一位男子,沒有見過緊獸,就去問見過緊獸的人,問那位見過緊獸的男子說:『你認識緊獸嗎?』回答說:『認識。』又問:『它長什麼樣子?』回答說:『它的顏色黑得像被火燒過的柱子。』當他看到時,緊獸是黑色的,像被火燒過的柱子。 『當時,那位男子聽了緊獸是黑色的,像被火燒過的柱子,不太高興,又去問另一位見過緊獸的男子,又問他:『你認識緊獸嗎?』他回答說:『認識。』

That monk, hearing the explanation of that other monk, was not pleased in his heart, and went to another monk, asking that monk, 'Venerable monks! How does one know, how does one see, to attain purity of vision?' That monk replied, 'To truly and correctly know the arising, ceasing, taste, danger, and escape of the six elements. Thus, monk! Knowing and seeing in this way, one attains purity of vision.' At that time, that monk, hearing that explanation, was also not pleased in his heart, and went to another monk, asking, 'Monk! How does one know, how does one see, to attain purity of vision?' That monk replied, 'Observe the five aggregates of clinging as sickness, as a boil, as a thorn, as a killing, as impermanent, suffering, empty, and not-self; knowing and seeing in this way, one attains purity of vision.' That monk, hearing the explanations of those monks, was also not pleased in his heart, and went to the Buddha, bowed his head at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir! I was thinking alone: 'How does a monk know, how does a monk see, to attain purity of vision?' Having thought this, I went to the monks, and the three places they spoke of, I have fully reported to the Venerable Sir. I was not pleased in my heart hearing their explanations, and have come to see the Venerable Sir. Therefore, I ask the Venerable Sir about this matter: 'How does a monk know, how does a monk see, to attain purity of vision?'' The Buddha told the monk, 'In the past, there was a man who had never seen a 'tight beast', and went to someone who had seen a 'tight beast', asking that man who had seen a 'tight beast', 'Do you know the 'tight beast'?' He replied, 'I know.' He asked again, 'What does it look like?' He replied, 'Its color is black like a fire-burnt pillar.' When he saw it, the 'tight beast' was black, like a fire-burnt pillar. 'At that time, that man, hearing that the 'tight beast' was black like a fire-burnt pillar, was not very pleased, and went to another man who had seen a 'tight beast', and asked him again, 'Do you know the 'tight beast'?' He replied, 'I know.'


。』復問:『其狀云何?』彼曾見緊獸士夫答言:『其色赤而開敷,狀似肉段。』彼人見時,緊獸開敷,實似肉段。

「是士夫聞彼所說,猶復不喜,復更詣余曾見緊獸士夫,問:『汝知緊獸不?』答言:『知。』復問:『其狀云何?』答言:『𣯶𣯶下垂,如尸利沙果。』

「是人聞已,心復不喜,復行問余知緊獸者,問:『汝知緊獸不?』彼答言:『知。』又問:『其狀云何?』彼復答言:『其葉青、其葉滑、其葉長廣,如尼拘婁陀樹。』如彼士夫問其緊獸,聞則不喜,處處更求,而彼諸人見緊獸者,隨時所見,而為記說,是故不同。

「如是,諸比丘!若於獨處專精思惟,不放逸住,所因思惟法不起諸漏,心得解脫,隨彼所見,而為記說。汝今復聽我說譬,其智者以譬喻得解。

「譬如有邊國王,善治城壁,門下堅固,交道平正,於四城門置四守護,悉皆聰慧,知其來去。當其城中,有四交道,安置床榻,城主坐上。若東方使來,問守門者:『城主何在?』彼即答言:『主在城中四交道頭,床上而坐。』彼使聞已,往詣城主,受其教令,複道而還。南、西、北方遠使來人,問守門者:『城主何在?』彼亦答言:『在其城中四交道頭。』彼使聞已,悉詣城主,受其教令,各還本處

現代漢語譯本:』又問:『它長什麼樣?』那個曾經見過緊獸的人回答說:『它的顏色是紅色的,而且是展開的,形狀像一塊肉。』那個人看到的時候,緊獸是展開的,確實像一塊肉。 『這個人聽了那個人說的話,仍然不高興,又去問另一個曾經見過緊獸的人,問:『你知道緊獸嗎?』回答說:『知道。』又問:『它長什麼樣?』回答說:『它毛茸茸的下垂著,像尸利沙果。』 『這個人聽了之後,心裡又不高興,又去問其他知道緊獸的人,問:『你知道緊獸嗎?』那個人回答說:『知道。』又問:『它長什麼樣?』那個人又回答說:『它的葉子是青色的,葉子是光滑的,葉子又長又寬,像尼拘婁陀樹。』就像那個人問關於緊獸的情況,聽了之後都不高興,到處去尋求答案,而那些見過緊獸的人,根據他們當時所見到的情況來描述,所以說法不同。 『諸位比丘!就像這樣,如果獨自一人專心思考,不懈怠地修行,通過思考佛法而不起煩惱,心得到解脫,就會根據自己所見到的情況來描述。你們現在再聽我說一個比喻,有智慧的人可以通過比喻來理解。 『譬如有一個邊境的國王,他善於治理城墻,城門下堅固,道路平坦筆直,在四個城門設定了四個守衛,他們都非常聰明,知道來往的人。在城中,有四條交叉的道路,安置著床榻,城主坐在上面。如果東方來的使者問守門人:『城主在哪裡?』守門人就會回答說:『城主在城中四條交叉道路的盡頭,坐在床上。』使者聽了之後,就去見城主,接受他的教令,然後返回。南方、西方、北方遠道而來的使者,問守門人:『城主在哪裡?』守門人也會回答說:『在城中四條交叉道路的盡頭。』使者聽了之後,都去見城主,接受他的教令,各自返回自己的地方。』

English version: 'Again he asked: 'What does it look like?' The man who had seen the tight beast before replied: 'Its color is red and it is spread out, resembling a piece of meat.' When that person saw it, the tight beast was spread out, indeed like a piece of meat. 'This man, upon hearing what that person said, was still not pleased, and went to another man who had seen the tight beast, asking: 'Do you know the tight beast?' He replied: 'I do.' Again he asked: 'What does it look like?' He replied: 'It hangs down, shaggy, like a Śirīṣa fruit.' 'Having heard this, the man was again displeased, and went to ask others who knew the tight beast, asking: 'Do you know the tight beast?' That person replied: 'I do.' Again he asked: 'What does it look like?' That person replied: 'Its leaves are green, its leaves are smooth, its leaves are long and wide, like a Nyagrodha tree.' Just like that man asked about the tight beast, and was not pleased with what he heard, he sought answers everywhere, and those who had seen the tight beast described it according to what they had seen at the time, so their descriptions differed. 'Thus, O monks! If one dwells alone, diligently contemplating, not living heedlessly, and through contemplating the Dharma, no defilements arise, and the mind is liberated, then one will describe it according to what one has seen. Now listen again to my parable, for the wise can understand through parables. 'For example, there is a king of a border country, who is skilled in governing the city walls, the gates are strong, the roads are straight and level, and he has placed four guards at the four city gates, all of whom are intelligent and know who comes and goes. In the city, there are four crossroads, where a couch is placed, and the city lord sits upon it. If a messenger comes from the east, he asks the gatekeeper: 'Where is the city lord?' The gatekeeper replies: 'The lord is at the end of the four crossroads in the city, sitting on a couch.' Upon hearing this, the messenger goes to see the city lord, receives his instructions, and then returns. Messengers from the south, west, and north, ask the gatekeepers: 'Where is the city lord?' They also reply: 'At the end of the four crossroads in the city.' Upon hearing this, the messengers all go to see the city lord, receive his instructions, and each returns to their own place.'


。」

佛告比丘:「我說斯譬,今當說義。所謂城者,以譬人身粗色,如篋毒蛇譬經說。善治城壁者,謂之正見。交道平正者,謂內六入處。四門者,謂四識住。四守門者,謂四念處。城主者,謂識受陰。使者,謂止、觀。如實言者,謂四真諦。複道還者,以八聖道。」

佛告比丘:「若大師為弟子所作,我今已作,以哀愍故,如篋毒蛇譬經說。」

爾時,比丘聞佛說已,專精思惟,不放逸住,增修梵行,乃至不受後有,成阿羅漢。

(一一七六)

如是我聞:

一時,世尊釋氏人間遊行,至迦毗羅衛國,住尼拘婁陀園。

爾時,迦毗羅衛釋氏作新講堂,未有諸沙門、婆羅門、釋迦年少及諸人民在中住者,聞世尊來至釋氏迦毗羅衛人間遊行,住尼拘婁陀園,論苦樂義。此堂新成,未有住者,可請世尊與諸大眾于中供養,得功德福報,長夜安隱,然復我等當隨受用。作是議已,悉共出城,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊為諸釋氏演說要法,示、教、照、喜已,默然而住

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴比丘們:『我講這個比喻,現在要解釋它的含義。所謂的城,是用來比喻人的身體,粗糙的形色,就像《篋毒蛇譬喻經》里說的那樣。善於修繕城墻的人,指的是正見。交道平坦正直,指的是內在的六個感官入口。四個城門,指的是四種意識的住處。四個守門人,指的是四念處。城主,指的是識受陰。使者,指的是止和觀。如實之言,指的是四聖諦。返回的道路,指的是八聖道。』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『如果大師應該為弟子做的事,我已經做了,因為我憐憫你們,就像《篋毒蛇譬喻經》里說的那樣。』 當時,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,專心思考,不懈怠地修行,增進梵行,最終不再受後有,成為阿羅漢。 (一一七六) 我是這樣聽說的: 有一次,世尊在釋迦族的人間游化,到達迦毗羅衛國,住在尼拘婁陀園。 當時,迦毗羅衛的釋迦族人建造了一座新的講堂,還沒有沙門、婆羅門、釋迦族的年輕人以及其他民眾在裡面居住。他們聽說世尊來到釋迦族的迦毗羅衛人間游化,住在尼拘婁陀園,宣講苦樂的道理。這座講堂剛剛建成,還沒有人住過,可以邀請世尊和他的大眾來這裡接受供養,獲得功德福報,長夜安穩,而且我們也可以隨之受用。他們商議完畢,就一起出城,來到世尊所在的地方,頂禮佛足,然後退坐在一旁。 當時,世尊為釋迦族人演說重要的佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,就默然不語。

English version The Buddha told the monks, 'I have given this simile, and now I will explain its meaning. The so-called city is a metaphor for the coarse form of the human body, as described in the 'Basket of Poisonous Snakes' simile sutra. The one who skillfully repairs the city walls refers to right view. The smooth and straight crossroads refer to the six internal sense entrances. The four gates refer to the four abodes of consciousness. The four gatekeepers refer to the four foundations of mindfulness. The city lord refers to the aggregates of consciousness and feeling. The messengers refer to cessation and insight. The truthful words refer to the four noble truths. The returning path refers to the eightfold noble path.' The Buddha told the monks, 'If there is anything a master should do for his disciples, I have already done it, out of compassion, as described in the 'Basket of Poisonous Snakes' simile sutra.' At that time, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, concentrated their minds, practiced diligently without negligence, advanced in their holy life, and ultimately, no longer subject to future existence, became Arhats. (1176) Thus have I heard: At one time, the World Honored One was traveling among the people of the Shakya clan, and arrived at Kapilavastu, residing in the Nigrodha Park. At that time, the Shakya people of Kapilavastu had built a new lecture hall, and no ascetics, Brahmins, young Shakyas, or other people had yet resided in it. They heard that the World Honored One had come to Kapilavastu among the Shakya people, and was residing in the Nigrodha Park, teaching about the meaning of suffering and happiness. This hall had just been completed and no one had lived in it yet. They thought, 'We can invite the World Honored One and his assembly to come here for offerings, so that we may gain merit and blessings, and have peace and security for a long time, and we can also benefit from it.' Having made this decision, they all went out of the city to where the World Honored One was, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side. At that time, the World Honored One expounded the essential Dharma to the Shakya people, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening them, and then remained silent.


時,諸釋氏從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,右膝著地,合掌白佛言:「世尊!我等釋氏新作講堂,未有住者,今請世尊及諸大眾于中供養,得功德福利,長夜安隱,然後我等當隨受用。」爾時,世尊默然受請。

時,諸釋氏知世尊受請已,稽首佛足,各還其所,即以其日,以車輿經紀,運其眾具,莊嚴新堂,敷置床座,軟草布地,備香油燈。眾事辦已,往詣佛所,稽首白言:「眾事辦已,惟聖知時。」

爾時,世尊與諸大眾前後圍繞,至新堂外,洗足已,然後上堂,于中柱下,東向而坐。時,諸比丘亦洗足已,隨入講堂,於世尊后,西面東向,次第而坐。時,諸釋氏即于東面西向而坐。

爾時,世尊為諸釋氏廣說要法,示、教、照、喜已,語諸釋氏:「瞿曇!初夜已過,於時可還迦毗羅越。」時,諸釋氏聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

爾時,世尊知釋氏去已,告大目揵連:「汝當爲諸比丘說法,我今背疾,當自訊息。」時,大目揵連默然受教。

爾時,世尊四褻郁多羅僧安置脅下,卷襞僧伽梨,置於頭下,右脅而臥,屈膝累足,繫念明相,作起想思惟。

爾時,大目揵連語諸比丘:「佛所說法,初、中、后善,善義善味,純一滿凈,清白梵行

現代漢語譯本:當時,各位釋迦族人從座位上起身,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,右膝跪地,合掌對佛陀說:『世尊!我們釋迦族人新建了一座講堂,還沒有人入住,現在懇請世尊和各位大眾到裡面接受供養,以獲得功德福報,長夜安穩,之後我們再來享用。』當時,世尊默然接受了邀請。 當時,各位釋迦族人知道世尊接受了邀請后,叩拜佛足,各自回到自己的地方,當天就用車輛和人力,運送各種器具,裝飾新的講堂,鋪設床座,用柔軟的草鋪在地上,備好香油燈。一切準備就緒后,前往佛陀所在之處,叩拜稟告說:『一切都準備好了,請聖者知曉時機。』 當時,世尊與各位大眾前後簇擁著,來到新講堂外,洗完腳后,才登上講堂,在中間的柱子下,面向東方坐下。當時,各位比丘也洗完腳后,跟隨進入講堂,在世尊身後,面向東方,依次坐下。當時,各位釋迦族人則在東面面向西方坐下。 當時,世尊為各位釋迦族人廣泛宣說重要的佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使他們歡喜后,對各位釋迦族人說:『瞿曇!初夜已經過去,現在可以返回迦毗羅衛了。』當時,各位釋迦族人聽到佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 當時,世尊知道釋迦族人已經離開后,告訴大目犍連:『你應當為各位比丘說法,我今天背部不適,應當休息一下。』當時,大目犍連默然接受了教誨。 當時,世尊將四層郁多羅僧衣放置在脅下,捲起僧伽梨,放在頭下,右側臥下,屈膝疊足,繫念光明之相,作起身之想而思惟。 當時,大目犍連對各位比丘說:『佛陀所說的法,初善、中善、后善,意義美好,味道美好,純一圓滿清凈,是清白的梵行。』

English version: At that time, the Shakya people rose from their seats, adjusted their robes, paid homage to the Buddha, knelt on their right knees, and with palms together, said to the Buddha: 'Venerable One! We Shakya people have built a new lecture hall, and no one has yet resided there. We now request that the Venerable One and the assembly come to receive offerings within, so that we may gain merit and blessings, and have peace throughout the long night. Afterwards, we will then partake of it.' At that time, the Buddha silently accepted the invitation. When the Shakya people knew that the Buddha had accepted the invitation, they bowed at the Buddha's feet, and each returned to their respective places. On that very day, they used carriages and manpower to transport various implements, decorated the new hall, laid out beds, spread soft grass on the ground, and prepared fragrant oil lamps. When everything was ready, they went to where the Buddha was, bowed and reported: 'Everything is ready, may the Holy One know the time.' At that time, the Buddha, surrounded by the assembly, went to the outside of the new hall. After washing his feet, he ascended the hall and sat down facing east under the central pillar. At that time, the monks also washed their feet and followed into the hall, sitting in order behind the Buddha, facing east. The Shakya people then sat on the east side, facing west. At that time, the Buddha extensively expounded the essential Dharma to the Shakya people, instructing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening them. He then said to the Shakya people: 'Gotama! The first watch of the night has passed, it is now time to return to Kapilavastu.' When the Shakya people heard what the Buddha said, they rejoiced, paid homage, and departed. At that time, the Buddha, knowing that the Shakya people had left, said to Maha Moggallana: 'You should preach the Dharma to the monks, for I am unwell in my back today and should rest.' At that time, Maha Moggallana silently accepted the instruction. At that time, the Buddha placed the four-layered uttarasanga robe under his side, rolled up the sanghati robe, placed it under his head, lay down on his right side, with his knees bent and feet stacked, focusing his mind on the sign of light, contemplating the thought of rising. At that time, Maha Moggallana said to the monks: 'The Dharma spoken by the Buddha is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with good meaning and good taste, pure, complete, and clean, it is a pure spiritual practice.'


。我今當說漏、不漏法,汝等諦聽!云何為漏法?愚癡無聞凡夫眼見色已,于可念色而起樂著,不可念色而起憎惡,不住身念處,於心解脫、慧解脫無少分智,而起種種惡不善法,不無餘滅,不無餘永盡;耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。比丘!如是者,天魔波旬往詣其所,伺其虛短,于其眼色,即得其闕;耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法亦復如是,即得其闕。

「譬如枯乾草積,四方火起,尋時即燒。如是,比丘!于其眼色,天魔波旬即得其闕。如是,比丘!不勝於色,于耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法,受制於法,不能勝法,不勝色,不勝聲、香、味、觸、法,亦復不勝意不善法、諸煩惱熾然苦報,及未來世生、老、病、死。諸尊!我從世尊親受於此諸有漏法,是名有漏法經。

「云何無漏法經?多聞聖弟子眼見色,于可念色不起樂著,不可念色不起憎惡,繫念而住,無量心解脫、慧解脫如實知,于彼已起惡不善法無餘滅盡;耳、鼻、舌、身、意亦復如是。

「如是像類比丘,弊魔波旬往詣其所,于其眼色伺求其短,不得其短;于耳聲、鼻香、舌味、身觸、意法伺求其短,不得其短。譬如樓閣,墻壁牢固,窗戶重閉,泥塗厚密,四方火起,不能燒然

現代漢語譯本:我現在要說關於『漏』與『不漏』的法,你們要仔細聽!什麼是『漏』法呢?愚癡無知的凡夫,眼睛看到事物后,對於喜歡的事物就產生貪戀,對於不喜歡的事物就產生厭惡,不能安住于身念處,對於心的解脫和智慧的解脫沒有絲毫的理解,因此產生各種惡的不善的念頭,這些念頭不能完全消除,不能徹底斷絕;耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。比丘們!像這樣的人,天魔波旬就會來到他們身邊,伺機尋找他們的弱點,在他們眼睛所見的事物上,就能找到他們的破綻;在耳朵聽到的聲音、鼻子聞到的氣味、舌頭嚐到的味道、身體感受到的觸覺、意識所想的事物上,也都能找到他們的破綻。 就像乾燥的草堆,四面起火,很快就會被燒光。比丘們!像這樣,在眼睛所見的事物上,天魔波旬就能找到他們的破綻。比丘們!不能戰勝外在的事物,在耳朵聽到的聲音、鼻子聞到的氣味、舌頭嚐到的味道、身體感受到的觸覺、意識所想的事物上,被這些事物所控制,不能戰勝這些事物,不能戰勝外在的事物,不能戰勝聲音、氣味、味道、觸覺、事物,也不能戰勝內心的不善念頭、各種煩惱的熾熱苦報,以及未來世的生、老、病、死。諸位!我從世尊那裡親自聽受了這些有『漏』的法,這就是所謂的『有漏法經』。 什麼是『無漏法經』呢?博學多聞的聖弟子,眼睛看到事物,對於喜歡的事物不產生貪戀,對於不喜歡的事物不產生厭惡,保持正念,對於無量的心解脫和智慧解脫有真實的理解,對於已經產生的惡的不善念頭能夠完全消除;耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識也是如此。 像這樣的比丘,天魔波旬來到他們身邊,在他們眼睛所見的事物上尋找弱點,卻找不到弱點;在耳朵聽到的聲音、鼻子聞到的氣味、舌頭嚐到的味道、身體感受到的觸覺、意識所想的事物上尋找弱點,也找不到弱點。就像樓閣,墻壁堅固,窗戶緊閉,泥土塗抹得厚實,四面起火,也不能燃燒。

English version: Now I will speak about the 'leaking' and 'non-leaking' dharmas, you all listen carefully! What is the 'leaking' dharma? A foolish and ignorant ordinary person, upon seeing a form with their eyes, develops attachment to pleasing forms and aversion to displeasing forms, does not abide in mindfulness of the body, and has no understanding of the liberation of the mind and the liberation of wisdom, thus giving rise to various evil and unwholesome thoughts, which cannot be completely eliminated or completely eradicated; the same is true for the ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Monks! For such a person, the demon Mara will come to them, seeking their weaknesses, and in the things seen by their eyes, he will find their flaws; in the sounds heard by the ears, the smells smelled by the nose, the tastes tasted by the tongue, the touches felt by the body, and the things thought by the mind, he will also find their flaws. It is like a pile of dry grass, when fire arises from all four directions, it will quickly be burned up. Monks! In this way, in the things seen by the eyes, the demon Mara can find their flaws. Monks! Unable to overcome external things, in the sounds heard by the ears, the smells smelled by the nose, the tastes tasted by the tongue, the touches felt by the body, and the things thought by the mind, they are controlled by these things, unable to overcome these things, unable to overcome external things, unable to overcome sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and things, and also unable to overcome the unwholesome thoughts of the mind, the burning suffering of various afflictions, and the birth, old age, sickness, and death of future lives. Venerable ones! I have personally received these 'leaking' dharmas from the World Honored One, and this is called the 'Sutra of Leaking Dharmas'. What is the 'Sutra of Non-Leaking Dharmas'? A learned and noble disciple, upon seeing a form with their eyes, does not develop attachment to pleasing forms or aversion to displeasing forms, maintains mindfulness, has a true understanding of the immeasurable liberation of the mind and the liberation of wisdom, and is able to completely eliminate the evil and unwholesome thoughts that have arisen; the same is true for the ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. For a monk of this kind, the demon Mara comes to them, seeking their weaknesses in the things seen by their eyes, but finds no weaknesses; seeking their weaknesses in the sounds heard by the ears, the smells smelled by the nose, the tastes tasted by the tongue, the touches felt by the body, and the things thought by the mind, he also finds no weaknesses. It is like a building, with strong walls, tightly closed windows, and thick mud plaster, when fire arises from all four directions, it cannot be burned.


。斯等比丘亦復如是,弊魔波旬往詣其所,伺求其短,不得其短。如是比丘能勝彼色,不為彼色之所勝也;勝於聲、香、味、觸、法,不為彼法之所勝也。若勝於色,勝於聲、香、味、觸、法已,亦復勝於惡不善法、煩惱熾燃苦報,及未來世生、老、病、死。我親從世尊面受此法,是名無漏法經。」

爾時,世尊知大目揵連說法竟,起正身坐,繫念在前,告大目揵連:「善哉!善哉!目揵連!為人說此經法,多所饒益,多所過度,長夜安樂諸天世人。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「汝當受持漏、無漏法經,廣為人說。所以者何?義具足故,法具足故,梵行具足故,開發神通,正向涅槃;乃至信心善男子,在家、出家,當受持讀誦,廣為人說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一一七七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如灰河,兩岸極熱,多諸利刺,在於闇處,眾多罪人在於河中隨流漂沒。中有一人,不愚不癡,聰明黠慧,樂樂厭苦,樂生厭死,作如是念:『我今何緣在此灰河,兩岸極熱,又多利刺,在闇冥處隨流漂沒?我當以手足方便,逆流而上。』漸見小明。其人默唸:『今已疾強見此小明

現代漢語譯本:這些比丘也是如此,惡魔波旬前往他們那裡,伺機尋找他們的弱點,卻找不到。這樣的比丘能夠戰勝色,不被色所戰勝;戰勝聲、香、味、觸、法,不被這些法所戰勝。如果戰勝了色,戰勝了聲、香、味、觸、法,也就戰勝了惡不善法、煩惱熾盛的苦報,以及未來世的生、老、病、死。我親自從世尊那裡聽受了此法,這稱為無漏法經。 當時,世尊知道大目犍連說法完畢,就端正身體坐好,集中意念,告訴大目犍連:『好啊!好啊!目犍連!你為人宣說這部經法,能帶來很多利益,使很多人得到解脫,讓諸天和世人在漫長的黑夜中獲得安樂。』 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『你們應當受持有漏、無漏法經,廣泛地為人宣說。為什麼呢?因為它義理完備,法理完備,梵行完備,能夠開發神通,正確地導向涅槃;乃至有信心的善男子,無論在家還是出家,都應當受持讀誦,廣泛地為人宣說。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一一七七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如一條灰河,兩岸極其炎熱,長滿許多鋒利的刺,處於黑暗之中,許多罪人在河中隨著水流漂浮沉沒。其中有一個人,不愚蠢也不糊塗,聰明而有智慧,喜歡快樂厭惡痛苦,喜歡生存厭惡死亡,他這樣想:『我為什麼會在這條灰河裡,兩岸極其炎熱,又長滿許多鋒利的刺,在黑暗中隨著水流漂浮沉沒呢?我應當用手腳努力,逆流而上。』漸漸地看到了一點光明。這個人默默地想:『現在我已經有力氣看到這一點光明了』

English version: These monks are also like that. The evil Mara Papiyas goes to them, seeking their weaknesses, but finds none. Such a monk is able to overcome form, not being overcome by form; overcomes sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma, not being overcome by these dharmas. If one overcomes form, overcomes sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma, one also overcomes evil unwholesome dharmas, the burning suffering of afflictions, and the future birth, old age, sickness, and death. I personally received this dharma from the World Honored One, and it is called the Sutra of the Uncontaminated Dharma. At that time, the World Honored One, knowing that Mahamoggallana had finished speaking, straightened his body and sat down, focusing his mind, and said to Mahamoggallana: 'Excellent! Excellent! Moggallana! Speaking this sutra for others brings great benefit, allows many to be liberated, and brings peace and happiness to gods and humans throughout the long night.' At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'You should uphold the Sutra of the Contaminated and Uncontaminated Dharma, and widely proclaim it to others. Why? Because it is complete in meaning, complete in dharma, complete in pure conduct, able to develop supernatural powers, and correctly leads to Nirvana; even faithful good men, whether lay or ordained, should uphold, recite, and widely proclaim it to others.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (1177) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'Suppose there is a river of ashes, with extremely hot banks on both sides, full of sharp thorns, in a dark place, and many sinners are drifting and sinking in the river. Among them, there is a person who is neither foolish nor dull, but intelligent and wise, who enjoys pleasure and dislikes pain, who enjoys life and dislikes death. He thinks: 'Why am I in this river of ashes, with extremely hot banks on both sides, full of sharp thorns, drifting and sinking in the darkness? I should use my hands and feet to strive and go upstream.' Gradually, he sees a small light. The person silently thinks: 'Now I have the strength to see this small light.'


。』復運手足,勤加方便,遂見平地,即住于彼,觀察四方,見大石山,不斷不壞,亦不穿穴,即登而上。復見清涼八分之水,所謂冷、美、輕、軟、香、凈,飲時不噎,咽中不閡。飲已安身,即入其中,若浴若飲,離諸惱熱。

「然後復進大山上,見七種華,謂優缽羅華、缽曇摩華、拘牟頭華、分陀利華、修揵提華、彌離頭揵提花、阿提目多花。聞花香已,覆上石山,見四層階堂,即坐其上;見五柱帳,即入其中,斂身正坐,種種枕褥,散花遍佈,莊嚴妙好;而於其中自恣坐臥,涼風四湊,令身安隱,坐高林下,高聲唱言:『灰河眾生諸賢正士!如彼灰河,兩岸極熱,多諸利刺,其處闇冥,求出于彼。』

「河中有聞聲者,乘聲問言:『何方得出?從何處出?』其中有言:『汝何須問何處得出?彼喚聲者亦自不知、不見從何而出,彼亦當覆在此灰河,兩岸極熱,多諸利刺,于闇冥中隨流來下,用問彼為?』

「如是,比丘!我說此譬,今當說義。灰者,謂三惡不善覺。云何三?欲覺、恚覺、害覺。河者,謂三愛——欲愛、色愛、無色愛。兩岸極熱者,謂內、外六入處。多諸利刺者,謂五欲功德。闇冥處者,謂無明障閉慧眼。眾多人者,謂愚癡凡夫。流,謂生死河

現代漢語譯本:'恢復手腳的活動能力,勤快地行動,於是看見了平地,就停留在那裡,觀察四周,看見巨大的石山,連綿不斷沒有損壞,也有洞穴,就攀登上去。又看見清涼的八種特性的水,即所謂冷、美、輕、軟、香、凈,飲用時不會哽咽,咽喉也不會阻塞。飲用後身體安適,就進入水中,或沐浴或飲用,遠離各種煩惱和熱惱。 現代漢語譯本:'然後又登上大山,看見七種花,分別是優缽羅花、缽曇摩花、拘牟頭花、分陀利花、修揵提花、彌離頭揵提花、阿提目多花。聞到花香后,又登上石山,看見四層臺階,就坐在上面;看見五根柱子的帳篷,就進入其中,收斂身體端正坐好,各種枕頭和褥子,散佈著鮮花,莊嚴美好;在其中隨意坐臥,涼風從四面吹來,使身體安穩,坐在高大的樹林下,高聲唱道:『灰河中的眾生,各位賢德的正士!就像那灰河,兩岸極其炎熱,有很多尖刺,那裡黑暗不明,想要從那裡出來。』 現代漢語譯本:'河中有聽到聲音的人,順著聲音問道:『從哪裡可以出去?從什麼地方出來?』其中有人說:『你何必問從哪裡可以出去?那呼喚的人自己也不知道、看不見從哪裡出來,他也應當還在這灰河中,兩岸極其炎熱,有很多尖刺,在黑暗中隨著河流漂流下來,問他有什麼用呢?』 現代漢語譯本:'比丘們!我說了這個譬喻,現在應當解釋它的含義。灰,指的是三種惡的不善的覺悟。哪三種呢?欲覺、恚覺、害覺。河,指的是三種愛——欲愛、色愛、無色愛。兩岸極其炎熱,指的是內在和外在的六入處。有很多尖刺,指的是五欲的功德。黑暗不明的地方,指的是無明遮蔽了智慧的眼睛。眾多的人,指的是愚癡的凡夫。河流,指的是生死之河。'

English version: 'Recovering the use of my limbs, and diligently moving, I then saw a flat land, and stayed there, observing the surroundings, I saw a large stone mountain, continuous and unbroken, also with caves, and I climbed up. Again I saw cool water with eight qualities, namely cold, beautiful, light, soft, fragrant, and pure, which did not cause choking when drinking, nor obstruction in the throat. After drinking, my body felt at ease, and I entered the water, either bathing or drinking, away from all vexations and heat.' English version: 'Then I ascended the great mountain again, and saw seven kinds of flowers, namely the blue lotus, the red lotus, the white water lily, the white lotus, the fragrant lotus, the large fragrant lotus, and the atimukta flower. After smelling the fragrance of the flowers, I ascended the stone mountain again, and saw a four-tiered platform, and sat on it; I saw a tent with five pillars, and entered it, composed myself and sat upright, with various pillows and cushions, scattered with flowers, adorned beautifully; and there I sat and lay down at will, with cool breezes coming from all directions, making my body comfortable, sitting under the tall trees, I loudly proclaimed: 『Beings in the Ash River, all virtuous and righteous ones! Like that Ash River, the two banks are extremely hot, with many thorns, the place is dark and obscure, seeking to get out of there.』 English version: 'Among those in the river who heard the sound, they asked following the sound: 『From where can one get out? From what place does one come out?』 Among them, someone said: 『Why do you ask from where one can get out? The one who is calling does not know or see from where one comes out, he should also be in this Ash River, the two banks are extremely hot, with many thorns, in the darkness drifting down with the river, what is the use of asking him?』 English version: 'Monks! I have spoken this parable, now I shall explain its meaning. Ash refers to the three evil unwholesome thoughts. What are the three? The thought of desire, the thought of anger, the thought of harm. The river refers to the three kinds of craving—craving for sensual pleasure, craving for form, and craving for formlessness. The two banks being extremely hot refer to the six internal and external sense bases. The many thorns refer to the merits of the five desires. The dark and obscure place refers to ignorance obscuring the eye of wisdom. The many people refer to foolish ordinary beings. The river refers to the river of birth and death.'


。中有一人不愚不癡者,謂菩薩摩訶薩。手足方便,逆流上者,謂精勤修學。微見小明者,謂得法忍。得平地者,謂持戒。觀四方者,謂見四真諦。大石山者,謂正見。八分水者,謂八聖道。七種花者,謂七覺分。四層堂者,謂四如意足。五柱悵者,謂信等五根。正身坐者,謂無餘涅槃。散花遍佈者,謂諸禪、解脫、三昧、正受。自恣坐臥者,謂如來、應、等正覺。四方風吹者,謂四增心見法安樂住。舉聲唱喚者,謂轉法輪。彼有人問『諸賢正士何處去?何處出』者,謂舍利弗、目揵連等諸賢坐比丘。于中有言『汝何所問?彼亦不知不見有所出處,彼亦當復於此灰河,兩岸極熱,多諸利刺,于闇冥處隨流來下』者,謂六師等諸邪見輩,所謂富蘭那迦葉、末伽梨瞿舍梨子、散阇耶毗羅胝子、阿耆多枳舍欽婆羅、伽拘羅迦氈延、尼揵連陀阇提弗多羅,及余邪見輩。如是,比丘!大師為諸聲聞所作,我今已作,汝今當作所作,如前篋毒蛇說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

時,有婆四吒婆羅門尼,有六子相續命終,念子發狂,裸形被髮,隨路而走,至彌絺羅庵羅園中。

爾時,世尊無量大眾圍繞說法,婆四吒婆羅門尼遙見世尊,見已,即得本心,慚愧羞恥,斂身蹲坐。

爾時,世尊告尊者阿難:「取汝郁多羅僧與彼婆四吒婆羅門尼,令著聽法。」尊者阿難即受佛教,取衣令著。

時,婆羅門尼得衣著已,至於佛前,稽首禮佛,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊為其說法,示、教、照、喜已,如佛常法,說法次第,乃至信心清凈,受三自歸,聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

彼婆四吒優婆夷於後時,第七子忽覆命終,彼優婆夷都不啼哭憂悲惱苦。時,婆四吒優婆夷夫說偈而告婆四吒優婆夷言:

「先諸子命終,  念子生憂苦,  晝夜不飲食,  乃至發狂亂。  今喪弟七子,  而不生憂苦?」

婆四吒優婆夷即復說偈答其夫言:

「兒孫有千數,  因緣和合生,  長夜遷過去,  我與君亦然。  子孫及宗族,  其數無限量,  彼彼所生處,  更互相殘食。  若知生要者,  何足生憂苦?  我已知出離,  生死存亡相,  不復生憂苦,  入佛正教故

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位名叫婆四吒的婆羅門婦女,她的六個兒子相繼去世,她因思念兒子而發狂,赤身裸體,披散著頭髮,沿著道路行走,來到了彌絺羅的庵羅園中。 那時,世尊被無數大眾圍繞著說法,婆四吒婆羅門婦女遠遠地看見了世尊,看到后,立刻恢復了理智,感到慚愧羞恥,便收斂身體蹲坐下來。 這時,世尊告訴尊者阿難:『把你的郁多羅僧給那位婆四吒婆羅門婦女,讓她穿上聽法。』尊者阿難立即接受佛的教誨,取來衣服給她穿上。 當時,婆羅門婦女穿上衣服后,來到佛前,向佛頂禮,然後退到一旁坐下。 這時,世尊為她說法,開示、教導、啓發、使她歡喜,按照佛陀通常的說法次第,直到她信心清凈,接受三皈依,聽聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 後來,這位婆四吒優婆夷的第七個兒子突然又去世了,這位優婆夷卻一點也不啼哭、憂愁、悲傷、痛苦。當時,婆四吒優婆夷的丈夫用偈語告訴婆四吒優婆夷說: 『先前幾個兒子去世時,你因思念兒子而產生憂愁痛苦,日夜不吃飯,甚至發狂。現在失去了第七個兒子,你卻不產生憂愁痛苦?』 婆四吒優婆夷隨即用偈語回答她的丈夫說: 『兒孫有成千上萬,都是因緣和合而生,長夜過去,我和你也是如此。子孫和宗族,數量無數,他們各自出生的地方,更互相殘殺吞食。如果知道生命的真諦,又何必產生憂愁痛苦?我已經知道出離,生死存亡的真相,不再產生憂愁痛苦,因為我已進入佛陀的正教。』

English version: At that time, there was a Brahmin woman named Bhāṣāṭā, whose six sons had died one after another. She went mad with grief for her sons, and, naked and with disheveled hair, she walked along the road until she reached the Amra garden in Mithila. At that time, the World Honored One was surrounded by a vast assembly, expounding the Dharma. Bhāṣāṭā the Brahmin woman saw the World Honored One from afar. Upon seeing him, she immediately regained her senses, felt ashamed and embarrassed, and crouched down, drawing herself in. Then, the World Honored One said to the Venerable Ananda, 『Give your Uttarasanga to that Brahmin woman, Bhāṣāṭā, so that she may put it on and listen to the Dharma.』 The Venerable Ananda immediately accepted the Buddha』s teaching and took the robe to give to her. When the Brahmin woman had put on the robe, she came before the Buddha, bowed her head in reverence, and then sat down to one side. Then, the World Honored One expounded the Dharma for her, revealing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening her. Following the usual order of the Buddha』s teachings, he continued until her faith was purified, she took the Three Refuges, and, having heard what the Buddha had said, she rejoiced and departed after paying her respects. Later, the seventh son of this Bhāṣāṭā Upasika suddenly died. This Upasika did not weep, grieve, or suffer at all. At that time, Bhāṣāṭā Upasika』s husband spoke a verse to Bhāṣāṭā Upasika, saying: 『When your previous sons died, you grieved for them, and you were in pain. You did not eat day or night, and you even went mad. Now that you have lost your seventh son, why do you not grieve?』 Bhāṣāṭā Upasika then replied to her husband in verse, saying: 『Children and grandchildren number in the thousands, born from the coming together of conditions. The long night passes, and so it is with you and me. Children, grandchildren, and relatives are countless. In the places where they are born, they devour each other. If one knows the essence of life, why should one grieve? I have already understood liberation, the nature of life and death, and I no longer grieve, because I have entered the true teachings of the Buddha.』


。」

時,婆四吒優婆夷夫說偈嘆曰:

「未曾所聞法,  而今聞汝說,  何處聞說法,  不念子憂悲?」

婆四吒優婆夷說偈答言:

「今日等正覺,  在彌絺羅國,  菴羅樹園中,  永離一切苦,  演說一切苦、  苦習、苦寂滅、  賢聖八正道,  安隱趣涅槃!  則是我大師,  深樂其正教。  我已知正法,  能開子憂苦。」

其夫婆羅門復說偈言:

「我今亦當往,  彌絺庵羅園,  彼世尊亦當,  開我子憂苦。」

優婆夷復說偈言:

「當觀等正覺,  柔軟金色身;  不調者能調,  廣度海流人。」

爾時,婆羅門即嚴駕乘于馬車,詣彌絺羅庵羅園。遙見世尊,轉增信樂,詣大師前。

彼時,大師即為說偈,開其法眼,苦、習、滅、道,正向涅槃。彼即見法,成無間等。既知法已,請求出家。

時,婆羅門即得出家,獨靜思惟,乃至得阿羅漢。世尊記說:「于第三夜,逮得三明。」得三明已,佛即告之:「命遣御者乘車還家,告婆四吒優婆夷,令發隨喜,語言:『婆羅門往見世尊,得凈信心,奉事大師,即為說法,為開法眼,見苦聖諦、苦集、苦滅、賢聖八道,安趣涅槃,成無間等。既知法已,即求出家

當時,婆四吒優婆夷的丈夫用偈語感嘆道: 『從未聽聞的佛法,如今聽你宣說,在何處聽聞佛法,竟能不思念兒子,不感到憂愁悲傷?』 婆四吒優婆夷用偈語回答說: 『今日,等正覺的佛陀在彌絺羅國,菴羅樹園中,他永遠脫離一切痛苦,宣說一切痛苦、痛苦的根源、痛苦的寂滅,以及通向安穩涅槃的賢聖八正道!他就是我的大師,我深深喜愛他的正法教誨。我已經瞭解了正法,能夠解除你的憂愁痛苦。』 她的丈夫婆羅門又用偈語說道: 『我現在也應當前往彌絺羅的庵羅園,那位世尊也應當能解除我兒子的憂愁痛苦。』 優婆夷又用偈語說道: 『你應當瞻仰等正覺佛陀,他擁有柔軟的金色身軀;他能調伏不調順的人,廣泛地救度在生死苦海中漂流的人。』 當時,婆羅門立即備好馬車,前往彌絺羅的庵羅園。遠遠地看見世尊,更加增添了信樂,來到大師面前。 那時,大師就為他宣說偈語,開啟了他的法眼,讓他明白了苦、苦的根源、苦的寂滅、以及通向涅槃的道路。他立刻證得了法,成就了無間等。在瞭解了佛法之後,他請求出家。 當時,婆羅門就出家了,獨自靜思,直到證得阿羅漢果。世尊記說:『在第三夜,他獲得了三明。』獲得三明後,佛陀就告訴他:『命令你的御者駕車回家,告訴婆四吒優婆夷,讓她隨喜讚歎,告訴她:『婆羅門去見世尊,獲得了清凈的信心,奉事大師,大師為他說法,開啟了他的法眼,讓他明白了苦聖諦、苦的根源、苦的寂滅、以及通向安穩涅槃的賢聖八道,成就了無間等。在瞭解了佛法之後,他就請求出家。』

At that time, the husband of the Upasika Bhadra said in a verse of lament: 'This Dharma, never heard before, I now hear you speak. Where did you hear this Dharma, that you do not think of your son and grieve?' The Upasika Bhadra replied in a verse: 'Today, the Perfectly Enlightened One is in the country of Mithila, in the Mango Grove. He has forever left all suffering, and expounds on all suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the Noble Eightfold Path that leads to peaceful Nirvana! He is my master, and I deeply delight in his true teachings. I have already understood the true Dharma, and can relieve your sorrow and suffering.' Her husband, the Brahmin, then said in a verse: 'I too shall now go to the Mango Grove in Mithila. That World Honored One should also be able to relieve my son's sorrow and suffering.' The Upasika again said in a verse: 'You should behold the Perfectly Enlightened One, with his soft, golden body; he can tame the untamed, and widely deliver those who drift in the sea of suffering.' At that time, the Brahmin immediately prepared his chariot and went to the Mango Grove in Mithila. Seeing the World Honored One from afar, his faith and joy increased, and he went before the Master. Then, the Master spoke verses for him, opening his Dharma eye, and he understood suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path to Nirvana. He immediately attained the Dharma, achieving non-interruption. Having understood the Dharma, he requested to leave home. At that time, the Brahmin left home, meditated alone, and eventually attained Arhatship. The World Honored One recorded: 'On the third night, he attained the Three Clear Knowledges.' Having attained the Three Clear Knowledges, the Buddha then told him: 'Order your charioteer to drive the chariot home, and tell the Upasika Bhadra, to rejoice in this, and say: 'The Brahmin went to see the World Honored One, obtained pure faith, served the Master, and the Master spoke the Dharma for him, opening his Dharma eye, and he understood the Noble Truth of Suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the Noble Eightfold Path that leads to peaceful Nirvana, achieving non-interruption. Having understood the Dharma, he then requested to leave home.'


。世尊記說:「于第三夜,具足三明。」』」

時,彼御者奉教疾還。時,婆四吒優婆夷遙見御者空車而還。即遙問言:「婆羅門為見佛不?佛為說法,開示法眼,見聖諦不?」

御者白言:「婆羅門已見世尊,得凈信心,奉事大師,為開法眼,說四聖諦,成無間等。既知法已,即求出家,專精思惟。世尊記說:『于第三夜,具足三明。』」

時,優婆夷心即隨喜,語御者言:「車馬屬汝,加復賜汝金錢一千,已汝傳信言:『婆羅門宿阇諦,已得三明。』令我歡喜故。」

御者白言:「我今何用車馬金錢為?車馬金錢還優婆夷,我今當還婆羅門所,隨彼出家。」

優婆夷言:「汝意如此,便可速還。不久亦當如彼所得,具足三明,隨後出家。」

御者白言:「如是,優婆夷!如彼出家,我亦當然。」

優婆夷言:「汝父出家,汝隨出家,我今不久亦當隨去。如空野大龍,乘虛而游,其餘諸龍、龍子、龍女悉皆隨去,我亦如是,執持衣缽,易養易滿。」御者白言:「優婆夷!若如是者,所愿必果,不久當見優婆夷少欲知足,執持衣缽,人所棄者,乞受而食,剃髮染衣,于陰、界、入斷除愛慾,離貪繫縛,盡諸有漏

現代漢語譯本:世尊記述說:『在第三夜,他已具足三明。』 當時,那個御者奉命迅速返回。那時,婆四吒優婆夷遠遠看見御者空車而回,就遠遠地問道:『婆羅門見到佛了嗎?佛為他說法,開啟他的法眼,讓他見到聖諦了嗎?』 御者回答說:『婆羅門已經見到世尊,獲得了清凈的信心,侍奉大師,被開啟了法眼,聽說了四聖諦,成就了無間等。他既然明白了佛法,就請求出家,專心精進地思考。世尊記述說:『在第三夜,他已具足三明。』 當時,優婆夷心中立刻隨喜,對御者說:『車馬歸你,另外再賞賜你一千金錢,因為你傳達了訊息說:『婆羅門宿阇諦已經獲得三明。』讓我感到歡喜。』 御者回答說:『我現在要車馬金錢做什麼呢?車馬金錢還給優婆夷,我現在應當回到婆羅門那裡,跟隨他出家。』 優婆夷說:『你既然有這樣的想法,就快點回去吧。不久你也會像他一樣獲得成就,具足三明,然後出家。』 御者回答說:『是的,優婆夷!就像他出家一樣,我也一定會這樣。』 優婆夷說:『你父親出家,你跟隨出家,我也不久也會跟隨而去。就像空曠野地裡的大龍,在空中游動,其餘的龍、龍子、龍女都會跟隨而去,我也像這樣,拿著衣缽,容易供養,容易滿足。』御者回答說:『優婆夷!如果真是這樣,你的願望一定會實現,不久就會看到優婆夷少欲知足,拿著衣缽,吃人們丟棄的食物,剃髮染衣,在陰、界、入中斷除愛慾,脫離貪慾的束縛,斷盡一切有漏。』

English version: The World-Honored One recounted, 'On the third night, he had fully attained the three knowledges.' At that time, the charioteer, having received the order, quickly returned. Then, the laywoman Bhāradvāja, seeing the charioteer returning with an empty chariot from afar, asked from a distance, 'Did the Brahmin see the Buddha? Did the Buddha preach the Dharma to him, open his Dharma eye, and allow him to see the Noble Truths?' The charioteer replied, 'The Brahmin has already seen the World-Honored One, obtained pure faith, serves the Great Master, had his Dharma eye opened, heard the Four Noble Truths, and achieved the state of no interval. Having understood the Dharma, he requested to leave home, and is now diligently contemplating. The World-Honored One recounted, 'On the third night, he had fully attained the three knowledges.' At that time, the laywoman's heart immediately rejoiced, and she said to the charioteer, 'The chariot and horses are yours, and I will also give you a thousand gold coins, because you delivered the message that 'the Brahmin Sujāti has already attained the three knowledges,' which makes me happy.' The charioteer replied, 'What use do I have for the chariot, horses, and gold coins now? The chariot, horses, and gold coins should be returned to the laywoman. I should now return to the Brahmin and follow him into homelessness.' The laywoman said, 'Since you have such an intention, then quickly return. Soon you will also achieve what he has achieved, fully attain the three knowledges, and then leave home.' The charioteer replied, 'Yes, laywoman! Just as he has left home, so too will I.' The laywoman said, 'Your father has left home, and you follow him into homelessness, and I too will soon follow. Just like a great dragon in the open wilderness, moving through the sky, the other dragons, dragon sons, and dragon daughters will all follow, so too will I, holding my robe and bowl, easy to nourish and easy to satisfy.' The charioteer replied, 'Laywoman! If it is as you say, your wish will surely be fulfilled, and soon we will see the laywoman with few desires and contentment, holding her robe and bowl, eating the food that people discard, shaving her head and wearing dyed robes, cutting off desire and lust in the aggregates, realms, and entrances, freeing herself from the bonds of greed, and exhausting all outflows.'


。」

彼婆羅門及其御者、婆四吒優婆夷、優婆夷女孫陀槃梨,悉皆出家,究竟苦邊。

(一一七九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離國大林精舍。

時,有毗梨耶婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門,晨朝買牛,未償其價,即日失牛,六日不見。

時,婆羅門為覓牛故,至大林精舍,遙見世尊坐一樹下,儀容挺特,諸根清凈,其心寂默,成就止觀,其身金色,光明焰照。見已,即詣其前,而說偈言:

「云何無所求,  空寂在於此,  獨一處空閑,  而得心所樂?」

爾時,世尊說偈答曰:

「若失若復得,  於我心不亂。  婆羅門當知,  莫謂彼如我,  心計于得失,  其心不自在。」

時,婆羅門復說偈言:

「最勝梵志處,  如比丘所說;  我今當自說,  真實語諦聽。  沙門今定非,  晨朝失牛者,  六日求不得,  是故安樂住。  沙門今定非,  種殖胡麻田,  慮其草荒沒,  是故安樂住。  沙門今定非,  種稻田乏水,  畏葉枯便死,  是故安樂住。  沙門今定無,  寡女有七人,  悉養孤遺子,  是故安樂住。  沙門今定無,  七不愛念子,  放逸多負債,  是故安樂住

現代漢語譯本: 那位婆羅門和他的御者、婆四吒優婆夷、優婆夷的孫女孫陀槃梨,都出家修行,最終達到了苦的盡頭。

(一一七九)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在毗舍離國的大林精舍。

當時,有一位名叫毗梨耶婆羅豆婆遮的婆羅門,早上買了一頭牛,還沒付清價錢,當天就丟了牛,六天都沒找到。

爲了找牛,婆羅門來到大林精舍,遠遠看見世尊坐在一棵樹下,儀容端莊,諸根清凈,內心寂靜,成就了止觀,身體呈現金色,光芒照耀。他見了之後,就走到世尊面前,用偈語說道:

『為何你無所求, 空寂地在此處? 獨自一人處空閑, 卻能得到內心的快樂?』

這時,世尊用偈語回答說:

『無論是失去還是得到, 我的內心都不會動搖。 婆羅門你應當知道, 不要認為別人像我一樣。 如果內心計較得失, 他的心就不能自在。』

這時,婆羅門又用偈語說道:

『最殊勝的梵志所處之地, 正如這位比丘所說; 我現在要親自說出, 真實的話語請你諦聽。 沙門你肯定不是, 早上丟了牛的人, 六天都找不到, 所以才能安樂地住。 沙門你肯定不是, 種植胡麻田的人, 擔心雜草蔓延, 所以才能安樂地住。 沙門你肯定不是, 種植稻田缺水的人, 害怕葉子枯死, 所以才能安樂地住。 沙門你肯定沒有, 七個女兒的寡婦, 還要養育孤兒, 所以才能安樂地住。 沙門你肯定沒有, 七個不孝順的兒子, 放縱又欠債, 所以才能安樂地住。』

English version: That Brahmin, along with his charioteer, the female lay disciple Vasishtha, and the lay disciple's granddaughter Sundari, all went forth into homelessness, reaching the end of suffering.

(1179)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Great Forest Monastery in the country of Vaishali.

At that time, there was a Brahmin named Viriya Bharadvaja who had bought a cow in the morning. Before he had paid for it, the cow was lost that very day, and he could not find it for six days.

Seeking his cow, the Brahmin went to the Great Forest Monastery. From afar, he saw the World-Honored One sitting under a tree, his appearance dignified, his senses clear, his mind tranquil, having attained serenity and insight, his body golden, radiating light. Having seen this, he approached him and spoke in verse:

'Why are you without desire, Dwelling here in emptiness? Alone in a secluded place, Yet finding joy in your heart?'

Then, the World-Honored One replied in verse:

'Whether losing or gaining, My mind is not disturbed. Brahmin, you should know, Do not think others are like me. If the mind calculates gain and loss, That mind is not free.'

Then, the Brahmin spoke again in verse:

'The place of the most excellent Brahmin, Is as this monk has described; Now I will speak myself, Listen to the truth of my words. The monk is certainly not, The one who lost a cow this morning, Unable to find it for six days, Therefore, he dwells in peace. The monk is certainly not, The one who cultivates sesame fields, Worried about weeds taking over, Therefore, he dwells in peace. The monk is certainly not, The one who cultivates rice fields lacking water, Fearing the leaves will wither and die, Therefore, he dwells in peace. The monk certainly does not have, A widow with seven daughters, Who must raise orphaned children, Therefore, he dwells in peace. The monk certainly does not have, Seven unloving sons, Who are reckless and in debt, Therefore, he dwells in peace.'


。  沙門今定無,  債主守其門,  求索長息財,  是故安樂住。  沙門今定無,  七領重臥具,  憂勤擇諸蟲,  是故安樂住。  沙門今定無,  赤眼黃髮婦,  晝夜聞惡聲,  是故安樂住。  沙門今定無,  空倉群鼠戲,  常憂其羸乏,  是故安樂住。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「我今日定不,  晨朝失其牛,  六日求不得,  是故安樂住。  我今日定無,  種殖胡麻田,  常恐其荒沒,  是故安樂住。  我今日定無,  種稻田乏水,  畏葉便枯死,  是故安樂住。  我今日定無,  寡女有七人,  悉養孤遺子,  是故安樂住。  我今日定無,  七不愛念子,  放逸多負債,  是故安樂住。  我今日定無,  債主守其門,  求索長息財,  是故安樂住。  我今日定無,  七領重臥具,  憂勤擇諸蟲,  是故安樂住。  我今日定無,  黃頭赤眼婦,  晝夜聞惡聲,  是故安樂住。  我今日定無,  空倉群鼠戲,  常憂其羸乏,  是故安樂住。  不捨念不念,  眾生安樂住,  斷欲離恩愛,  而得安樂住

現代漢語譯本 『現在沙門肯定沒有,債主守在他的門前, 索要高額利息的錢財,所以他安樂地住著。 現在沙門肯定沒有,七件厚重的臥具, 憂慮地挑選著裡面的蟲子,所以他安樂地住著。 現在沙門肯定沒有,紅眼黃髮的妻子, 日夜聽到惡語,所以他安樂地住著。 現在沙門肯定沒有,空倉里老鼠成群嬉戲, 常常擔憂它們的瘦弱,所以他安樂地住著。』 當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『我今天肯定沒有,早晨丟失了牛, 六天都找不到,所以安樂地住著。 我今天肯定沒有,種植胡麻的田地, 常常擔心它荒廢,所以安樂地住著。 我今天肯定沒有,種植稻子的田地缺水, 害怕葉子枯死,所以安樂地住著。 我今天肯定沒有,守寡的女兒有七個, 全都養育著孤兒,所以安樂地住著。 我今天肯定沒有,七個不愛我的兒子, 放縱懈怠還欠了很多債,所以安樂地住著。 我今天肯定沒有,債主守在他的門前, 索要高額利息的錢財,所以安樂地住著。 我今天肯定沒有,七件厚重的臥具, 憂慮地挑選著裡面的蟲子,所以安樂地住著。 我今天肯定沒有,黃頭髮紅眼睛的妻子, 日夜聽到惡語,所以安樂地住著。 我今天肯定沒有,空倉里老鼠成群嬉戲, 常常擔憂它們的瘦弱,所以安樂地住著。 不執著于念頭或無念,眾生才能安樂地住著, 斷絕慾望,遠離恩愛,才能獲得安樂的住處。』

English version 'The Shramana certainly has none now, the creditor guards his door, demanding long-term interest on his wealth, therefore he dwells in peace. The Shramana certainly has none now, seven layers of heavy bedding, worriedly picking out the insects, therefore he dwells in peace. The Shramana certainly has none now, a red-eyed, yellow-haired wife, day and night hearing harsh words, therefore he dwells in peace. The Shramana certainly has none now, in the empty granary, mice play in groups, constantly worried about their weakness, therefore he dwells in peace.' At that time, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'I certainly have none today, having lost my ox in the morning, not finding it for six days, therefore I dwell in peace. I certainly have none today, fields planted with sesame, constantly fearing its desolation, therefore I dwell in peace. I certainly have none today, rice fields lacking water, fearing the leaves will wither and die, therefore I dwell in peace. I certainly have none today, seven widowed daughters, all raising orphaned children, therefore I dwell in peace. I certainly have none today, seven unloving sons, indulgent and heavily in debt, therefore I dwell in peace. I certainly have none today, the creditor guards his door, demanding long-term interest on his wealth, therefore I dwell in peace. I certainly have none today, seven layers of heavy bedding, worriedly picking out the insects, therefore I dwell in peace. I certainly have none today, a yellow-haired, red-eyed wife, day and night hearing harsh words, therefore I dwell in peace. I certainly have none today, in the empty granary, mice play in groups, constantly worried about their weakness, therefore I dwell in peace. Not clinging to thoughts or non-thoughts, beings dwell in peace, severing desires, departing from love, one attains peaceful dwelling.'


。」

爾時,世尊為精進婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門種種說法,示、教、照、喜,如佛常法,次第說法,佈施、持戒,乃至於正法中,心得無畏。即從座起,合掌白佛:「我今得於正法、律出家學道,成比丘分,修梵行不?」

佛告婆羅門:「汝今可得於正法、律出家、受具足,修諸梵行,乃至得阿羅漢,心善解脫。」

爾時,精進婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門得阿羅漢,緣自覺知,得解脫樂,而說偈言:

「我今甚欣樂,  大仙法之上,  得離貪慾樂,  不生見於佛。」

(一一八〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住娑羅樹林婆羅門聚落。爾時,世尊晨朝著衣持缽,入婆羅門聚落乞食,有非時云起。

爾時,世尊作是念:「我今當往婆羅門聚落婆羅長者大會堂中。」作是念已,即往向彼大會堂所。

時,婆羅門長者悉集堂上,遙見世尊,共相謂言:「彼剃頭沙門竟知何法?」

爾時,世尊告彼婆羅聚落婆羅門長者言:「諸婆羅門有知法者,有不知者;剎利長者亦有知法者,有不知法者。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「非朋欲勝朋,  王不伏難伏,  妻不求勝夫,  無子不恭父。  無會無智者,  無智不法言,  貪恚癡悉斷,  是則名智者

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊為精進婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門宣說各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜,如同佛陀通常的做法,依次講解佈施、持戒,直到他在正法中內心感到無所畏懼。他立即從座位上站起來,合掌對佛說:『我現在可以在正法和戒律中出家學道,成為比丘,修習梵行嗎?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『你現在可以在正法和戒律中出家、受具足戒,修習各種梵行,乃至證得阿羅漢果,內心獲得徹底解脫。』 當時,精進婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門證得阿羅漢果,通過自身覺悟而知曉,獲得解脫的喜悅,於是說了偈語: 『我今非常歡喜,在大仙的教法之上,得以脫離貪慾的快樂,不再需要見到佛陀。』 (一一八〇) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在娑羅樹林婆羅門聚落。當時,世尊早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入婆羅門聚落乞食,這時天空中出現了不合時宜的雲彩。 當時,世尊心想:『我現在應當前往婆羅門聚落的婆羅長者大會堂。』這樣想后,就前往了那個大會堂。 當時,婆羅門長者們都聚集在堂上,遠遠地看見世尊,互相說道:『那個剃頭的沙門究竟知道什麼法?』 當時,世尊告訴那些婆羅聚落的婆羅門長者說:『各位婆羅門中,有知道佛法的,也有不知道的;剎帝利長者中,也有知道佛法的,也有不知道的。』 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『不是朋友想勝過朋友,國王不屈服難以被征服,妻子不求勝過丈夫,沒有兒子不尊敬父親。 沒有集會就沒有智者,沒有智慧就沒有正法之言,貪慾、嗔恚、愚癡都斷除,這樣的人才稱為智者。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One expounded various teachings to the Brahmin Bharadvaja, who was diligent, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening him, as was the Buddha's usual practice, explaining in order about giving, keeping precepts, until his mind was fearless in the Right Dharma. He immediately rose from his seat, put his palms together, and said to the Buddha, 'May I now leave home and study the Way in the Right Dharma and discipline, become a Bhikkhu, and practice the pure life?' The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'You may now leave home in the Right Dharma and discipline, receive full ordination, practice all pure conduct, and even attain Arhatship, with your mind well liberated.' At that time, the diligent Brahmin Bharadvaja attained Arhatship, knowing through his own realization, and experiencing the joy of liberation, and then spoke this verse: 'I am now very joyful, above the teachings of the Great Sage, having escaped the pleasure of greed, and no longer need to see the Buddha.' (1180) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Brahmin village of the Sal tree grove. At that time, the World Honored One, in the morning, put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered the Brahmin village to beg for alms, when untimely clouds arose. At that time, the World Honored One thought, 'I should now go to the assembly hall of the Brahmin elders in the Brahmin village.' Having thought this, he went to that assembly hall. At that time, the Brahmin elders were all gathered in the hall, and seeing the World Honored One from afar, they said to each other, 'What Dharma does that shaven-headed Shramana know?' At that time, the World Honored One told the Brahmin elders of that Brahmin village, 'Among you Brahmins, there are those who know the Dharma and those who do not; among the Kshatriya elders, there are also those who know the Dharma and those who do not.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke this verse: 'Not a friend desiring to surpass a friend, a king not subdued is difficult to subdue, a wife not seeking to surpass her husband, a son without respect for his father. Without an assembly, there is no wise person, without wisdom, there are no words of the Right Dharma, greed, hatred, and delusion are all cut off, such a person is called wise.'


。」

時,彼婆羅門長者白佛言:「善士瞿曇!善士夫可入此堂,就座而坐。」世尊坐已。即白言:「瞿曇說法,我等樂聽。」

爾時,世尊為彼大會婆羅門長者種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,復說偈言:

「愚智群聚會,  非說孰知明?  能說寂靜道,  因說智則辯。  說者顯正法,  建立大仙幢,  善說為仙幢,  法為羅漢幢。」

爾時,世尊為婆羅聚落婆羅門長者建立正法,示、教、照、喜;示、教、照、喜已,從座起而去。

(一一八一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,至浮梨聚落,住天作婆羅門庵羅園中,尊者優波摩為侍者。

爾時,世尊患背痛,告尊者優波摩:「汝舉衣缽已,往至天作婆羅門舍

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位婆羅門長者對佛說:『善士瞿曇!善士請進此堂,就座而坐。』世尊坐下後,他立即說道:『瞿曇請說法,我們都樂意聽。』 那時,世尊為那聚集的婆羅門長者們宣說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、令他們歡喜后,又說了偈語: 『愚人和智者聚集在一起,不說的話誰能明白?能說寂靜之道,通過說法智慧才能顯現。說法者闡明正法,建立大仙的旗幟,善說就是仙的旗幟,法就是羅漢的旗幟。』 當時,世尊為婆羅聚落的婆羅門長者們建立了正法,開示、教導、啓發、令他們歡喜;開示、教導、啓發、令他們歡喜后,便從座位起身離開了。 (一一八一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛在拘薩羅人間游化,到達浮梨聚落,住在天作婆羅門的庵羅園中,尊者優波摩擔任侍者。 當時,世尊背部疼痛,告訴尊者優波摩:『你拿起衣缽,前往天作婆羅門的住所』

English version Then, that Brahmin elder said to the Buddha, 'Good sir Gotama! Good sir, please enter this hall and take a seat.' After the World-Honored One sat down, he immediately said, 'Gotama, please teach the Dharma, we are eager to listen.' At that time, the World-Honored One expounded various aspects of the Dharma to the assembled Brahmin elders, revealing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening them. Then, he spoke these verses: 'When fools and wise gather, who can understand if not spoken? One who can speak of the path of tranquility, through speaking, wisdom is revealed. The speaker clarifies the true Dharma, establishing the banner of the great sage. Good speaking is the banner of the sage, the Dharma is the banner of the Arhat.' At that time, the World-Honored One established the true Dharma for the Brahmin elders of the Brahmin village, revealing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening them; having revealed, instructed, illuminated, and gladdened them, he rose from his seat and departed. (1181) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the Kosala region, and arrived at the village of Phuli, staying in the Amra garden of the Brahmin Tianzuo, with the Venerable Upama as his attendant. At that time, the World-Honored One had a backache, and told the Venerable Upama, 'Take your robe and bowl, and go to the residence of the Brahmin Tianzuo.'


。」

時,天作婆羅門處於中堂,令梳頭者理剃鬚發,見尊者優波摩于外門住,見已,即說偈言:

「何等剃鬚發,  身著僧迦梨?  住于彼門外,  為欲何所求?」

尊者優波摩說偈答言:

「羅漢世善逝,  所患背風疾,  頗有安樂水,  療牟尼疾不?」

時,天作婆羅門以滿缽酥、一瓶油、一瓶石蜜,使人擔持,並持暖水,隨尊者優波摩詣世尊所,以涂其體,暖水洗之,酥蜜作飲,世尊背疾即得安隱。

時,天作婆羅門晨朝早起,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,而說偈言:

「何言婆羅門?  施何得大果?  何等為時施?  云何凈福田?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「若得宿命智,  見天定趣生,  得盡諸有漏,  牟尼起三明,  善知心解脫,  解脫一切貪;  說名婆羅門,  施彼得大果,  施彼為時施,  隨所欲福田。」

時,天作婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一八二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,於一夜時,住止娑羅林中。

時,有一婆羅門,去娑羅林不遠,營作田業

當時,天作婆羅門正在中堂,讓梳頭的人給他梳理剃鬚,看到尊者優波摩站在外門,看到后,就說了偈語: 『什麼人剃了鬚髮,身穿僧伽梨?站在那門外,想要尋求什麼?』 尊者優波摩用偈語回答說: 『羅漢世尊,患有背風的疾病,是否有安樂的水,可以治療牟尼的疾病?』 當時,天作婆羅門讓人拿著裝滿酥油的缽、一瓶油、一瓶石蜜,並帶著熱水,跟隨尊者優波摩前往世尊所在的地方,用這些塗抹世尊的身體,用熱水清洗,用酥油和蜂蜜做成飲料,世尊的背疾就痊癒了。 當時,天作婆羅門清晨早起,前往佛陀所在的地方,叩頭行禮,退坐在一旁,說了偈語: 『什麼叫做婆羅門?施捨什麼能得到大果報?什麼時間施捨是合適的?什麼樣的才是清凈的福田?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『如果能獲得宿命智,看到天人註定會轉生,能斷盡一切煩惱,牟尼生起三明,善於瞭解心的解脫,解脫一切貪慾;這樣的人才叫做婆羅門,施捨給他們能得到大果報,施捨給他們是合適的時機,他們是隨心所欲的福田。』 當時,天作婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離開了。 (一一八二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀在拘薩羅人間游化,在一天晚上,住在娑羅樹林中。 當時,有一個婆羅門,住在離娑羅樹林不遠的地方,正在經營田地。

At that time, the Brahmin Tianzuo was in the central hall, having his hair and beard trimmed by a barber. He saw the Venerable Upama standing outside the gate. Upon seeing him, he spoke a verse: 'Who is this with shaven head and beard, wearing a sanghati? Standing outside that gate, what do you seek?' The Venerable Upama replied with a verse: 'The Arhat, the World Honored One, suffers from a back ailment. Is there any soothing water that can cure the Muni's illness?' Then, the Brahmin Tianzuo had a bowl full of ghee, a bottle of oil, and a bottle of rock candy carried by his servants, along with warm water. He followed the Venerable Upama to where the World Honored One was. They applied these to the World Honored One's body, washed him with warm water, and made a drink of ghee and honey. The World Honored One's back ailment was immediately relieved. Then, the Brahmin Tianzuo got up early in the morning and went to where the Buddha was. He bowed his head to the ground, paid his respects, and sat to one side, speaking a verse: 'What is called a Brahmin? What kind of giving yields great results? What is the proper time for giving? What is a pure field of merit?' At that time, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'If one obtains the knowledge of past lives, sees the gods destined to be reborn, eradicates all defilements, the Muni arises with three kinds of knowledge, understands the liberation of the mind, and is liberated from all greed; such a person is called a Brahmin. Giving to them yields great results, giving to them is the proper time, and they are the field of merit as one desires.' Then, the Brahmin Tianzuo, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised it. He paid his respects and left. (1182) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the Kosala region. One night, he stayed in a Sal tree grove. At that time, there was a Brahmin who lived not far from the Sal tree grove, and he was engaged in farming.


。晨朝起作,至娑羅林中,遙見世尊坐一樹下,儀容端正,諸根清凈,其心寂定,具足成就第一止觀,其身金色,光明徹照。見已,往詣其所,白言:「瞿曇!我近在此經營事業,故樂此林。瞿曇於此有何事業,樂此林中?」復說偈言:

「比丘於此林,  為何事業故,  獨一守空閑,  樂於此林中?」

爾時,世尊說偈答曰:

「無事於此林,  林根久已斷,  于林離林脫,  禪思不樂斷。」

時,彼婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一八三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,夜宿一娑羅林中。

時,有一婆羅門,近彼林側,與五百年少婆羅門共。彼婆羅門常稱歎欽想:「欲見世尊,何時游於此林,我因得見遇,問所疑,頗有閑暇為我記說?」

時,彼婆羅門年少弟子為採薪故,入于林中,遙見世尊坐一樹下,儀容端正,諸根寂靜,其心寂定,形若金山,光明徹照。見已,作是念:「我和上婆羅門常稱歎欽仰,欲見瞿曇,問其所疑,今此沙門瞿曇到此林中,我當疾往白和上令知。」即持薪束,疾還學堂

現代漢語譯本:早晨起來,他來到娑羅樹林中,遠遠看見世尊坐在一棵樹下,儀容端正,諸根清凈,內心寂靜安定,完全成就了最高的止觀,身體呈現金色,光明透徹照耀。他見到后,便走到世尊那裡,說道:『瞿曇!我最近在這裡經營事業,所以喜歡這片樹林。瞿曇在這裡有什麼事情,也喜歡在這樹林中呢?』他又說了偈語: 『比丘在這樹林里,是爲了什麼事情,獨自一人守著空閑,喜歡在這樹林中呢?』 當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『我在這樹林里沒有什麼事情,對樹林的執著早已斷除,對於樹林既不執著也不脫離,禪思的樂趣不會斷絕。』 當時,那位婆羅門聽了佛陀所說的話,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (一一八三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀在拘薩羅地區游化,晚上住在一片娑羅樹林中。 當時,有一位婆羅門,住在樹林附近,和五百位年輕的婆羅門在一起。那位婆羅門常常稱讚並嚮往:『想見世尊,不知他何時會來到這片樹林,我就可以見到他,請教我的疑惑,他是否會有空閑為我解答?』 當時,那位婆羅門的年輕弟子爲了採柴,進入樹林中,遠遠看見世尊坐在一棵樹下,儀容端正,諸根寂靜,內心寂定,身形如同金山,光明透徹照耀。他見到后,心想:『我的老師婆羅門常常稱讚並嚮往,想見瞿曇,請教他的疑惑,現在這位沙門瞿曇來到了這片樹林,我應當趕快回去告訴老師。』於是他拿著柴束,快速回到學堂。

English version: In the morning, he arose and went to the Sal tree grove, where he saw the World Honored One sitting under a tree, his appearance dignified, his senses pure, his mind tranquil and settled, having fully attained the highest Samatha-Vipassana, his body golden, his light shining brightly. Having seen this, he went to where the World Honored One was and said, 'Gautama! I have recently been managing affairs here, so I enjoy this grove. What business do you have here, Gautama, that you also enjoy this grove?' He then spoke in verse: 'O Bhikkhu, in this grove, for what purpose, do you alone keep to the solitude, enjoying this grove?' At that time, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'I have no business in this grove, the roots of attachment to the grove have long been severed, I am neither attached to nor detached from the grove, the joy of meditation will not be cut off.' Then, that Brahmin, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed and departed. (1183) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the Kosala region, and spent the night in a Sal tree grove. At that time, there was a Brahmin, living near the grove, with five hundred young Brahmins. That Brahmin often praised and yearned, 'I wish to see the World Honored One, when will he come to this grove, so that I may see him, ask my doubts, and perhaps he will have time to explain them to me?' At that time, the young disciple of that Brahmin, in order to gather firewood, entered the grove, and from afar saw the World Honored One sitting under a tree, his appearance dignified, his senses tranquil, his mind settled, his form like a golden mountain, his light shining brightly. Having seen this, he thought, 'My teacher, the Brahmin, often praises and yearns to see Gautama, to ask his doubts, now this Shramana Gautama has come to this grove, I should quickly go back and inform my teacher.' So he took the bundle of firewood and quickly returned to the school.


。舍薪束已,詣和上所,白言:「和上當知,和上由來常所稱歎欽仰欲見沙門瞿曇,脫到此林,當問所疑,今日瞿曇已到此林,和上知時!」

時,婆羅門即詣世尊所,面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面。而說偈言:

「獨入此恐怖,  深邃叢林中,  堅住不傾動,  善修正勤法。  無歌舞音樂,  寂默住空閑;  我所未曾見,  獨樂深林者,  欲求於世間,  自在增上主?  為三十三天,  天上自在樂?  何故深林中,  苦行自枯槁?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「若欲種種求,  諸界多種著;  彼一切皆是,  愚癡之根本,  如是一切求,  我久悉已吐,  不求不諂偽,  一切無所觸。  於一切諸法,  唯一清凈觀,  得無上菩提,  禪思修不樂。」

婆羅門復說偈言:

「我今敬禮汝,  大寂牟尼尊,  禪思之妙王,  覺無邊大覺;  如來天人救,  巍巍若金山。  解脫于叢林,  于林永不著;  已拔深利刺,  清凈無餘跡。  論師之上首,  言說最勝辯;  人中雄師子,  震吼于深林。  顯現苦聖諦、  集、滅、八正道;  能盡眾苦聚,  乘出凈無垢

現代漢語譯本:他放下薪柴,整理好衣物,去到和尚那裡,稟告說:『和尚您應該知道,您一直以來都稱讚欽佩,想要見沙門瞿曇。如果他來到這片樹林,您就可以詢問心中的疑惑。今天瞿曇已經來到這片樹林了,和尚您應該把握時機!』 當時,婆羅門就去到世尊那裡,互相問候慰勞之後,退坐在一旁。然後他說了偈語: 『獨自進入這令人恐懼、幽深茂密的叢林中,堅定不移,精進修行。沒有歌舞音樂,寂靜地住在空閑之處;我從未見過,獨自在深林中享樂的人,難道是想在世間,尋求自在增上的主宰?還是爲了三十三天,天上的自在快樂?為何在深林中,苦行使自己枯槁?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『如果想要追求種種,對諸界有種種執著;那一切都是愚癡的根本。像這樣的一切追求,我早就全部捨棄了,不追求,不虛偽,一切都不執著。對於一切諸法,唯一清凈地觀察,獲得無上菩提,禪思修行不貪戀。』 婆羅門又說了偈語: 『我今天敬禮您,偉大的寂靜牟尼尊,禪思的妙王,覺悟無邊的大覺者;如來是天人的救星,巍峨如金山。您已解脫于叢林,永遠不再執著于叢林;您已拔出深利的刺,清凈無餘跡。您是論師中的首領,言說最勝辯;您是人中的雄獅,在深林中發出震吼。您顯現苦聖諦、集、滅、八正道;能使眾苦聚滅盡,乘著清凈無垢的解脫之道。』

English version: He set aside the firewood, tidied his clothes, and went to the monk, reporting: 'Venerable monk, you should know that you have always praised and admired, wanting to see the Shramana Gautama. If he comes to this forest, you can ask about your doubts. Today Gautama has arrived in this forest, venerable monk, you should seize the opportunity!' At that time, the Brahmin went to the World Honored One, exchanged greetings and consolations, and then sat down to one side. Then he spoke in verses: 'Alone you enter this terrifying, deep and dense forest, steadfast and unmoving, diligently practicing the Dharma. Without song or dance, you dwell in silence and solitude; I have never seen anyone who enjoys solitude in the deep forest, is it to seek a sovereign of freedom and supremacy in the world? Or is it for the heavenly bliss of the Thirty-three Heavens? Why in the deep forest, do you practice austerities that make you wither?' At this time, the World Honored One replied in verses: 'If one desires to seek various things, and has various attachments to the realms; all of that is the root of ignorance. All such seeking, I have long since abandoned, not seeking, not being false, not attached to anything. Regarding all dharmas, I observe with a single pure view, attaining unsurpassed Bodhi, practicing meditation without craving.' The Brahmin then spoke in verses: 'Today I pay homage to you, the great silent Muni, the wonderful king of meditation, the enlightened one of boundless awakening; the Tathagata is the savior of gods and humans, majestic like a golden mountain. You have been liberated from the forest, and will never again be attached to the forest; you have pulled out the deep and sharp thorns, leaving no trace of impurity. You are the leader among debaters, the most excellent in speech; you are the lion among men, roaring in the deep forest. You reveal the Noble Truth of Suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the Eightfold Path; able to extinguish the accumulation of all suffering, riding the pure and immaculate path of liberation.'


。  自脫一切苦,  濟彼苦眾生;  安樂眾生故,  演說于正法。  已斷于恩愛,  遠離於欲網;  斷除於一切,  有愛之結縛。  如水生蓮花,  塵水不染著;  如日停虛空,  清凈無雲翳。  善哉我今日,  至拘薩羅林,  得見於大師,  兩足之勝尊,  大林大精進,  得第一廣度;  調御師之首,  敬禮無所畏。」

時,婆羅門廣說斯偈,讚歎佛已,聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一一八四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,宿于孫陀利河側。

爾時,世尊剃髮未久,於後夜時,結跏趺坐,正身思惟,繫念在前,以衣覆頭。

時,孫陀利河側有婆羅門住止,夜起持祠,餘食不盡,時至河邊,欲求大德婆羅門以奉之。

爾時,世尊聞河邊婆羅門聲。聞已,謦咳作聲,卻衣現頭。

時,孫陀利河側婆羅門見佛已,作是念:「是剃頭沙門,非婆羅門。」欲持食還去。彼婆羅門復作是念:「非獨沙門是剃頭者,婆羅門中亦有剃頭,應往至彼,問其所生。」時,孫陀利河側婆羅門詣世尊所,而問之言:「為何姓生?」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「汝莫問所生,  但當問所行

現代漢語譯本 『自己解脫一切痛苦,』 『也救度那些受苦的眾生;』 『爲了讓眾生安樂,』 『宣說真正的佛法。』 『已經斷絕了恩愛,』 『遠離了慾望的羅網;』 『斷除了所有,』 『對愛慾的束縛。』 『如同水中生長的蓮花,』 『不被塵土和水沾染;』 『如同太陽停留在虛空,』 『清凈而沒有云彩遮蔽。』 『今天我真是太幸運了,』 『來到拘薩羅的樹林,』 『得見偉大的導師,』 『兩足尊貴的至尊,』 『大林中精進修行,』 『獲得第一的廣闊度量;』 『調御師中的首領,』 『我恭敬地禮拜無所畏懼的您。』 當時,婆羅門廣泛地說了這些偈語,讚歎佛陀之後,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (一一八四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀在拘薩羅地區的人間游化,住宿在孫陀利河邊。 當時,世尊剃髮不久,在後半夜時,結跏趺坐,端正身體,集中意念,將注意力放在前方,用衣服蓋住頭部。 當時,孫陀利河邊住著一位婆羅門,他夜裡起來舉行祭祀,剩下的食物沒有吃完,到了河邊,想要尋找一位有德行的婆羅門來供奉。 當時,世尊聽到了河邊婆羅門的聲音。聽到后,他咳嗽了一聲,掀開衣服露出頭。 當時,孫陀利河邊的婆羅門看到佛陀后,心想:『這是個剃頭的沙門,不是婆羅門。』想要拿著食物回去。那位婆羅門又想:『不只是沙門剃頭,婆羅門中也有剃頭的,應該去問問他是什麼出身。』當時,孫陀利河邊的婆羅門來到世尊面前,問道:『您是什麼姓氏出身?』 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『你不要問我的出身,』 『只應當問我的修行。』

English version 'Having freed oneself from all suffering,' 'Also helping those suffering beings;' 'For the sake of the happiness of all beings,' 'Expounding the true Dharma.' 'Having severed all affection,' 'Having distanced oneself from the net of desires;' 'Having cut off all,' 'The bonds of attachment to love.' 'Like a lotus flower growing in water,' 'Not stained by dust or water;' 'Like the sun resting in the void,' 'Pure and without cloud cover.' 'How fortunate I am today,' 'To have come to the forest of Kosala,' 'To have seen the great teacher,' 'The supreme one, honored by both feet,' 'Practicing diligently in the great forest,' 'Having attained the first vast measure;' 'The leader among the tamers,' 'I respectfully bow to you, the fearless one.' At that time, the Brahmin extensively spoke these verses, praised the Buddha, and after hearing what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed and departed. (1184) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the human realm of Kosala, staying by the side of the Sundarika River. At that time, the World Honored One, having recently shaved his head, in the latter part of the night, sat in the lotus position, straightened his body, concentrated his mind, focused his attention forward, and covered his head with his robe. At that time, a Brahmin was residing by the Sundarika River. He had risen at night to perform a sacrifice, and the remaining food was not finished. He went to the riverbank, wanting to find a virtuous Brahmin to offer it to. At that time, the World Honored One heard the Brahmin's voice by the riverbank. Having heard it, he coughed and uncovered his head. At that time, the Brahmin by the Sundarika River saw the Buddha and thought: 'This is a shaven-headed Shramana, not a Brahmin.' He wanted to take the food back. That Brahmin then thought: 'It is not only Shramanas who shave their heads, there are also Brahmins who shave their heads. I should go to him and ask about his origin.' At that time, the Brahmin by the Sundarika River went to the World Honored One and asked: 'What is your lineage?' At that time, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 'You should not ask about my lineage,' 'But rather ask about my practice.'


。  刻木為鉆燧,  亦能生於火;  下賤種姓中,  生堅固牟尼。  智慧有慚愧,  精進善調伏,  究竟大明際,  清凈修梵行。  而今正是時,  應奉施餘食。」

時,孫陀利河側婆羅門復說偈言:

「我今吉良日,  求福修供養,  遇得見大士,  三時最勝尊,  若不見佛者,  當更施餘人。」

爾時,孫陀利河側婆羅門轉得信心,即持餘食以奉世尊,世尊不受,以說偈得故,如上因說偈而得食廣說。

孫陀利河側婆羅門白佛言:「世尊!今此施食當置何所?」

佛告婆羅門:「我不見諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人有能食此食,令身安隱者。汝持此食去著無蟲水中,及少生草地。」

時,婆羅門即持此食著無蟲水中,水即煙起涌沸,啾啾作聲,如燒鐵丸投之冷水,煙起涌沸,啾啾作聲。如是彼食著無蟲水中,煙起涌沸,啾啾作聲。孫陀利河側婆羅門心欲恐怖,身毛皆豎,謂為災變,馳走上岸,集聚干木,供養祠火,令息災怪。

世尊見彼集聚干木,供養祠火,望息災怪。見已。即說偈言:

「婆羅門祠火,  焚燒乾草木,  莫呼是凈道,  能卻諸災患

現代漢語譯本 『用木頭刻成鉆木取火的工具,也能生出火來; 在種姓之中,能誕生堅固的牟尼(佛陀)。 智慧伴隨著慚愧,精進且善於調伏, 最終達到大光明之境,清凈地修持梵行。 現在正是時候,應該奉獻剩餘的食物。』

當時,孫陀利河邊的婆羅門又說了偈語:

『我今天是個吉祥的日子,爲了求福而進行供養, 有幸見到大士,三時中最殊勝的尊者, 如果見不到佛陀,就將把剩餘的食物施捨給其他人。』

那時,孫陀利河邊的婆羅門轉而生起了信心,立即拿著剩餘的食物供奉世尊,世尊沒有接受,因為說了偈語的緣故,就像上面因說偈而得到食物那樣廣為流傳。

孫陀利河邊的婆羅門對佛說:『世尊!現在這施捨的食物應該放在哪裡呢?』

佛告訴婆羅門:『我看不見諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人有誰能吃這食物,而能使身體安穩的。你拿著這食物放到沒有蟲的水中,以及少有草生長的地方。』

當時,婆羅門立即拿著這食物放到沒有蟲的水中,水立刻冒出煙霧,翻騰沸騰,發出啾啾的聲音,就像燒紅的鐵丸投入冷水中一樣,冒出煙霧,翻騰沸騰,發出啾啾的聲音。就這樣,那食物放入沒有蟲的水中,冒出煙霧,翻騰沸騰,發出啾啾的聲音。孫陀利河邊的婆羅門心中感到恐懼,汗毛都豎了起來,認為這是災難的預兆,急忙跑到岸上,聚集干木,供奉祭祀的火,希望以此來消除災禍。

世尊看到他聚集干木,供奉祭祀的火,希望以此來消除災禍。看到后,就說了偈語:

『婆羅門祭祀的火,焚燒的是乾草木, 不要說這是清凈的道,能消除各種災難。』

English version 'Carving wood to make a fire drill can also produce fire; Within a lineage, a steadfast Muni (Buddha) can be born. Wisdom is accompanied by shame, diligence, and skillful taming, Ultimately reaching the realm of great enlightenment, purely practicing the Brahma-faring. Now is the right time to offer the remaining food.'

At that time, the Brahmin by the Sundari River spoke another verse:

'Today is an auspicious day for me, seeking blessings through offerings, I am fortunate to see the Great One, the most supreme of the three times, If I do not see the Buddha, I will give the remaining food to others.'

Then, the Brahmin by the Sundari River developed faith and immediately offered the remaining food to the World Honored One. The World Honored One did not accept it because of the verse spoken, just as it was widely known how food was obtained through verses before.

The Brahmin by the Sundari River asked the Buddha, 'World Honored One! Where should this offered food be placed?'

The Buddha told the Brahmin, 'I do not see any gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, deities, or people in the world who can eat this food and have their bodies be at peace. Take this food and place it in water without insects and in a place with little grass.'

At that time, the Brahmin immediately took the food and placed it in water without insects. The water immediately began to smoke, boil, and make a hissing sound, like a red-hot iron ball thrown into cold water, smoking, boiling, and making a hissing sound. Thus, when the food was placed in the water without insects, it smoked, boiled, and made a hissing sound. The Brahmin by the Sundari River felt fear in his heart, his hair stood on end, and he thought it was a sign of disaster. He rushed to the shore, gathered dry wood, and offered it to the sacrificial fire, hoping to dispel the calamity.

The World Honored One saw him gathering dry wood and offering it to the sacrificial fire, hoping to dispel the calamity. Upon seeing this, he spoke a verse:

'The Brahmin's sacrificial fire burns dry grass and wood, Do not call this the pure path that can eliminate all disasters.'


。  此則惡供養,  而謂為黠慧;  作如是因緣,  外道取修凈。  汝今棄薪火,  起內火熾然,  常修不放逸,  常富於供養。  處處興凈信,  廣施設大會,  心意為束薪,  瞋恚黑煙起,  妄語為塵味,  口舌為木杓,  胸懷燃火處,  慾火常熾然。  當善自調伏,  消滅士夫火,  正信為大河,  凈戒為度濟,  澄凈清流水,  智者之所嘆!  人中凈天德,  當於中洗浴,  涉水不著身,  安樂度彼岸。  正法為深淵,  福德為下濟,  澄凈水充滿,  智者所讚歎!  人中天凈德,  當於中洗浴,  涉水不著身,  安樂度彼岸。  真諦善調御,  攝護修梵行,  慈悲為苦行,  真實心清凈,  沐浴以正法,  智者所稱歎。」

爾時,孫陀利河側婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,複道而去。

(一一八五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,住孫陀利河側叢林中

現代漢語譯本 這種錯誤的供養,卻被認為是聰明智慧; 以此為因緣,外道才去修行清凈。 你們現在捨棄柴火,點燃內心的火焰, 要常常修習不放逸,常常富於供養。 處處興起清凈的信心,廣設盛大的集會, 心意如同柴薪,嗔恚像黑煙升起, 妄語如同塵土的味道,口舌如同木勺, 胸懷是燃燒的火爐,常常熾熱燃燒。 應當好好地調伏自己,熄滅內心的火焰, 正信如同大河,清凈的戒律如同渡船, 清澈澄凈的流水,是智者所讚歎的! 人中清凈的天德,應當在其中沐浴, 涉水而不沾身,安樂地到達彼岸。 正法如同深淵,福德如同下行的渡船, 澄凈的水充滿其中,是智者所讚歎的! 人中清凈的天德,應當在其中沐浴, 涉水而不沾身,安樂地到達彼岸。 真諦善於調御,攝護身心修行梵行, 慈悲是苦行,真實的心清凈, 用正法沐浴,是智者所稱讚的。 當時,孫陀利河邊的婆羅門聽到佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,然後離開了。

(一一八五)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀在拘薩羅人間游化,住在孫陀利河邊的叢林中。

English version This kind of evil offering is considered clever and wise; Because of this cause and condition, the heretics pursue the practice of purity. Now you abandon firewood and ignite the inner fire, You should always practice diligence and always be rich in offerings. Everywhere, arouse pure faith, and widely establish grand gatherings, The mind is like firewood, anger rises like black smoke, False speech is like the taste of dust, the tongue is like a wooden ladle, The chest is the burning hearth, constantly blazing. You should properly subdue yourself, extinguish the fire within, Right faith is like a great river, pure precepts are like a ferry, Clear and pure flowing water is praised by the wise! The pure heavenly virtue among people, should bathe in it, Wading through the water without getting wet, peacefully reaching the other shore. The true Dharma is like a deep abyss, merit is like a downward ferry, Clear and pure water fills it, praised by the wise! The pure heavenly virtue among people, should bathe in it, Wading through the water without getting wet, peacefully reaching the other shore. The truth is good at taming, guarding and cultivating the pure conduct, Compassion is ascetic practice, a true heart is pure, Bathing in the true Dharma is praised by the wise. At that time, the Brahmin by the Sundarika River, hearing what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, and then departed.

(1185)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the Kosala region, dwelling in the forest by the Sundarika River.


時,有孫陀利河側住止婆羅門來詣佛所,面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,問佛言:「瞿曇!至孫陀利河中洗浴不?」

佛告婆羅門:「何用於孫陀利河中洗浴為?」

婆羅門白佛:「瞿曇!孫陀利河是濟度之數,是吉祥之數,是清凈之數,若有于中洗浴者,悉能除人一切諸惡。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「非孫陀利河,  亦非婆休多,  非伽耶、薩羅,  如是諸河等,  作諸惡不善,  能令其清凈。  恒河、婆休多、  孫陀利河等,  愚者常居中,  不能除眾惡。  其清凈之人,  何用洗浴為?  其清凈之人,  何用布薩為?  凈業以自凈,  是生於受持,  不殺亦不盜,  不淫不妄語,  信施除慳垢,  於斯而洗浴。  於一切眾生,  常起慈悲心,  井水以洗浴,  用伽耶等為?  內心自清凈,  不待洗于外。  下賤田舍兒,  身體多污垢,  以水洗塵穢,  不能凈其內。」

爾時,孫陀利河側婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起而去。

(一一八六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中

現代漢語譯本 當時,住在孫陀利河邊的婆羅門來到佛陀所在的地方,互相問候並慰問后,退坐在一旁,問佛陀說:『瞿曇,您會到孫陀利河中洗浴嗎?』 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『在孫陀利河中洗浴有什麼用呢?』 婆羅門對佛陀說:『瞿曇,孫陀利河是用來濟度的,是吉祥的,是清凈的。如果有人在其中洗浴,就能去除人的一切罪惡。』 這時,世尊就說了偈語: 『不是孫陀利河,也不是婆休多河,不是伽耶河、薩羅河,像這樣的河流,做了各種惡事和不善之事,也不能使人清凈。 恒河、婆休多河、孫陀利河等,愚笨的人常在其中洗浴,也不能去除眾多的罪惡。 真正清凈的人,何必需要洗浴呢?真正清凈的人,何必需要布薩呢? 以清凈的業來使自己清凈,這是生於受持,不殺生也不偷盜,不邪淫也不妄語,以佈施來去除慳吝的污垢,在這些方面洗浴。 對於一切眾生,常常生起慈悲之心,用井水洗浴,又何必用伽耶河等呢? 內心自己清凈,不需要在外面洗浴。 就像鄉下孩子,身體有很多污垢,用水洗去塵土污穢,也不能使內心清凈。』 當時,孫陀利河邊的婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離開了。 (一一八六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。

English version At that time, a Brahmin who lived by the Sundarika River came to where the Buddha was. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, he sat down to one side and asked the Buddha, 'Gautama, do you bathe in the Sundarika River?' The Buddha said to the Brahmin, 'What is the use of bathing in the Sundarika River?' The Brahmin replied to the Buddha, 'Gautama, the Sundarika River is for salvation, it is auspicious, it is pure. If anyone bathes in it, they can remove all their evils.' Then, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 'Neither the Sundarika River, nor the Bahuka River, nor the Gaya River, nor the Sarala River, nor any such rivers, can purify one who has committed evil and unwholesome deeds. The Ganges, the Bahuka, the Sundarika, and other such rivers, the foolish constantly bathe in them, yet they cannot remove their many evils. For those who are truly pure, what need is there for bathing? For those who are truly pure, what need is there for the Uposatha? One purifies oneself through pure actions; this is born of upholding the precepts: not killing, not stealing, not engaging in sexual misconduct, not lying, and removing the defilement of stinginess through giving. In these things, one should bathe. Towards all beings, constantly arise with a heart of loving-kindness. If one bathes with well water, what need is there for the Gaya River and others? One's own heart is pure; there is no need to bathe externally. Like a country child, whose body is covered in dirt, washing away the dust and grime with water cannot purify their inner self.' At that time, the Brahmin by the Sundarika River, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, and rose from his seat and departed. (1186) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu.


時,有縈髻羅豆婆遮婆羅門,本俗人時,為佛善知識,來詣佛所,面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面。而說偈言:

「外身縈髻者,  是但名縈髻;  內心縈髻者,  是結縛眾生。  今請問瞿曇,  云何解縈髻?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「受持于凈戒,  內心修正覺,  專精勤方便,  是則解縈髻。」

時,縈髻婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起而去。

(一一八七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛國尼拘律園中。

時,有縈髻波羅豆婆遮婆羅門來詣佛所,而前問訊,相慰勞已,退坐一面。而說偈言:

「身外縈髻者,  是但名縈髻;  內心縈髻者,  是結縛眾生。  我今問瞿曇,  如此縈髻者,  云何作方便?  於何斷縈髻?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「眼耳及與鼻,  舌身意入處,  于彼名及色,  滅盡令無餘。  諸識永滅者,  于彼斷縈髻。」

佛說此經已,縈髻婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起去。

(一一八八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住郁毗羅聚落尼連禪河側菩提樹下,成佛未久

現代漢語譯本 當時,有一位名叫縈髻羅豆婆遮的婆羅門,他俗家時是佛陀的善知識,來到佛陀所在的地方,互相問候慰勞之後,退坐在一旁。他用偈語說道: 『外在的頭髮盤結,只是名為盤結;內心的煩惱盤結,才是束縛眾生的根源。現在請問瞿曇,如何才能解開這內心的盤結?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『受持清凈的戒律,內心修正覺悟,專心精進地修行,這就是解開煩惱盤結的方法。』 當時,縈髻婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去。 (一一八七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國的尼拘律園中。 當時,有一位名叫縈髻波羅豆婆遮的婆羅門來到佛陀所在的地方,上前問候,互相慰勞之後,退坐在一旁。他用偈語說道: 『外在的頭髮盤結,只是名為盤結;內心的煩惱盤結,才是束縛眾生的根源。我現在請問瞿曇,對於這樣的煩惱盤結, 應該如何修行?要如何才能斷除這煩惱的盤結?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『眼睛、耳朵、鼻子,舌頭、身體和意念的入口,對於這些名和色,要滅盡使其不再殘留。當所有的意識都永遠滅盡時,就能斷除煩惱的盤結。』 佛陀說完這部經后,縈髻婆羅豆婆遮婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去。 (一一八八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在郁毗羅聚落尼連禪河邊的菩提樹下,剛剛成佛不久。

English version At that time, there was a Brahmin named Eṇīja-Rodha-Bharadvāja, who, when he was a layman, was a good friend of the Buddha. He came to where the Buddha was, greeted him, and after exchanging pleasantries, sat down to one side. He then spoke in verse: 'The external knot of hair, is merely called a knot; the internal knot of the mind, is what binds beings. Now I ask Gotama, how is this knot untied?' Then, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'By upholding pure precepts, by cultivating right awakening in the mind, by focusing diligently on skillful means, this is how the knot is untied.' Then, the Eṇīja Brahmin, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, and rose from his seat and departed. (1187) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Banyan Grove in Kapilavastu. At that time, a Brahmin named Eṇīja-Bharadvāja came to where the Buddha was, greeted him, and after exchanging pleasantries, sat down to one side. He then spoke in verse: 'The external knot of hair, is merely called a knot; the internal knot of the mind, is what binds beings. Now I ask Gotama, regarding this knot, how should one practice? How is this knot untied?' Then, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'The eye, ear, and nose, the tongue, body, and mind's entrances, regarding these names and forms, extinguish them completely, leaving nothing behind. When all consciousness is forever extinguished, then the knot is untied.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the Eṇīja-Bharadvāja Brahmin, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, and rose from his seat and departed. (1188) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling under the Bodhi tree on the bank of the Nerañjarā River in the village of Uruvilvā, not long after his enlightenment.


爾時,世尊獨靜思惟,作是念:「不恭敬者,則為大苦,無有次序。無他自在可畏懼者,則于大義有所退減;有所恭敬,有次序,有他自在者,得安樂住;有所恭敬,有次序,有他自在,大義滿足。頗有諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人中,能於我所具足戒勝、三昧勝、智慧勝、解脫勝、解脫知見勝,令我恭敬宗重,奉事供養,依彼而住?」

復作是念:「無有諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人能於我所戒具足勝、三昧勝、智慧勝、解脫勝、解脫知見勝,令我恭敬宗重,奉事供養,依彼而住者。唯有正法令我自覺,成三藐三佛陀者,我當於彼恭敬宗重,奉事供養,依彼而住。所以者何?過去如來、應、等正覺亦于正法恭敬宗重,奉事供養,依彼而住;諸當來世如來、應、等正覺亦于正法恭敬宗重,奉事供養,依彼而住。」

爾時,娑婆世界主梵天王知世尊心念已,如力士屈伸臂頃,從梵天沒,住于佛前,嘆言:「善哉!如是,世尊!如是,善逝!懈怠不恭敬者,甚為大苦……」廣說乃至「大義滿足,其實無有諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人於世尊所戒具足勝、三昧勝、智慧勝、解脫勝、解脫知見勝,令世尊恭敬宗重,奉事供養,依彼而住者

現代漢語譯本:

當時,世尊獨自靜靜地思考,心中想道:『不恭敬的人,會遭受巨大的痛苦,而且毫無秩序可言。沒有其他可以讓人敬畏和自主的事物,就會在重大意義上有所減退;如果有所恭敬,有秩序,有其他自主的事物,就能安樂地生活;如果有所恭敬,有秩序,有其他自主的事物,就能圓滿重大意義。』『在諸天、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人之中,是否有人能在戒律、禪定、智慧、解脫、解脫知見上勝過我,讓我能夠恭敬尊重,侍奉供養,並依止他而住呢?』 他又想道:『在諸天、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人之中,沒有人能在戒律、禪定、智慧、解脫、解脫知見上勝過我,讓我能夠恭敬尊重,侍奉供養,並依止他而住。只有正法能讓我自覺,成就無上正等正覺,我應當對正法恭敬尊重,侍奉供養,並依止它而住。』『為什麼呢?因為過去的如來、應供、正等正覺也對正法恭敬尊重,侍奉供養,並依止它而住;未來的如來、應供、正等正覺也會對正法恭敬尊重,侍奉供養,並依止它而住。』 當時,娑婆世界之主梵天王知道世尊的心念后,如同力士屈伸手臂一般,從梵天界消失,出現在佛陀面前,讚歎道:『善哉!世尊,正是如此!善逝,正是如此!懈怠不恭敬的人,會遭受巨大的痛苦……』(此處省略)一直到『重大意義圓滿,實際上在諸天、魔、梵天、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人之中,沒有人能在戒律、禪定、智慧、解脫、解脫知見上勝過世尊,讓世尊能夠恭敬尊重,侍奉供養,並依止他而住。』

English version:

At that time, the World Honored One was alone in quiet contemplation, thinking thus: 'Those who are not respectful suffer great pain and are without order. Without anything else to be revered and independent, there is a decline in great meaning; if there is respect, order, and something else independent, one can live in peace; if there is respect, order, and something else independent, great meaning is fulfilled.' 'Among the gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, deities, and people of the world, is there anyone who surpasses me in precepts, samadhi, wisdom, liberation, and the knowledge and vision of liberation, so that I can respect, honor, serve, and rely on them?' He further thought: 'Among the gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, deities, and people of the world, there is no one who surpasses me in precepts, samadhi, wisdom, liberation, and the knowledge and vision of liberation, so that I can respect, honor, serve, and rely on them. Only the Dharma can make me self-aware and attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. I should respect, honor, serve, and rely on the Dharma.' 'Why is this so? Because the past Tathagatas, Arhats, and Samyak-sambuddhas also respected, honored, served, and relied on the Dharma; the future Tathagatas, Arhats, and Samyak-sambuddhas will also respect, honor, serve, and rely on the Dharma.' At that time, the Brahma King, the lord of the Saha world, knowing the World Honored One's thoughts, as quickly as a strong man extends or retracts his arm, disappeared from the Brahma realm and stood before the Buddha, exclaiming: 'Excellent! Thus it is, World Honored One! Thus it is, Sugata! Those who are lazy and disrespectful suffer great pain...' (omitted here) all the way to 'great meaning is fulfilled, and in reality, among the gods, demons, Brahmas, ascetics, Brahmins, deities, and people of the world, there is no one who surpasses the World Honored One in precepts, samadhi, wisdom, liberation, and the knowledge and vision of liberation, so that the World Honored One can respect, honor, serve, and rely on them.'


。唯有正法,如來自悟成等正覺,則是如來所應恭敬宗重,奉事供養,依彼而住者。所以者何?過去諸如來、應、等正覺亦于正法恭敬宗重,奉事供養,依彼而住;諸未來如來、應、等正覺亦當于正法恭敬宗重,奉事供養,依彼而住。世尊亦當于彼正法恭敬宗重,奉事供養,依彼而住。」

時,梵天王復說偈言:

「過去等正覺,  及未來諸佛,  現在佛世尊,  能除眾生憂。  一切恭敬法,  依正法而住;  如是恭敬者,  是則諸佛法。」

時,梵天王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一一八九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住郁毗羅聚落尼連禪河側菩提樹下,成佛未久。

爾時,世尊獨靜思惟,作是念:「有一乘道能凈眾生,度諸憂悲,滅除苦惱,得真如法,謂四念處。何等為四?身身觀念處,受、心、法法觀念處。若有人不樂四念處者,則不樂如聖法;不樂如聖法者,則不樂如聖道;不樂如聖道者,則不樂甘露法;不樂甘露法者,則不解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。若樂修四念處者,則樂修如聖法;樂修如聖法者,則樂如聖道;樂如聖道者,則樂甘露法;樂甘露法者,得解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦

唯有真正的佛法,如同如來自己覺悟成正等正覺,才是如來應該恭敬尊重、奉行侍奉、並依此而住的。這是為什麼呢?因為過去的諸位如來、應供、正等正覺也是對正法恭敬尊重、奉行侍奉、並依此而住;未來的諸位如來、應供、正等正覺也將對正法恭敬尊重、奉行侍奉、並依此而住。世尊也應當對這正法恭敬尊重、奉行侍奉、並依此而住。 當時,梵天王又說了偈語: 『過去的正等正覺,以及未來的諸佛,現在的佛世尊,都能消除眾生的憂愁。 一切都恭敬佛法,依正法而住;如此恭敬的人,才是諸佛的法則。』 當時,梵天王聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,向佛稽首,隨即消失不見。 (一一八九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在郁毗羅聚落尼連禪河邊的菩提樹下,剛成佛不久。 當時,世尊獨自靜思,這樣想:『有一條唯一的道路能夠凈化眾生,度脫各種憂愁悲傷,滅除痛苦煩惱,得到真如的佛法,那就是四念處。哪四種呢?身念處、受念處、心念處、法念處。如果有人不喜歡四念處,就是不喜歡聖法;不喜歡聖法,就是不喜歡聖道;不喜歡聖道,就是不喜歡甘露法;不喜歡甘露法,就不能解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如果喜歡修習四念處,就是喜歡修習聖法;喜歡修習聖法,就是喜歡聖道;喜歡聖道,就是喜歡甘露法;喜歡甘露法,就能解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。』

Only the true Dharma, like the Tathagata's own enlightenment into Samyak-sambuddha, is what the Tathagata should respect, honor, serve, and abide by. Why is that? Because the past Tathagatas, Arhats, and Samyak-sambuddhas also respected, honored, served, and abided by the true Dharma; the future Tathagatas, Arhats, and Samyak-sambuddhas will also respect, honor, serve, and abide by the true Dharma. The World Honored One should also respect, honor, serve, and abide by this true Dharma. At that time, the Brahma King spoke a verse: 'The past Samyak-sambuddhas, and the future Buddhas, the present Buddha, the World Honored One, can eliminate the worries of sentient beings. All respect the Dharma, and abide by the true Dharma; those who respect in this way, are following the Dharma of all Buddhas.' At that time, the Brahma King, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1189) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling under the Bodhi tree by the Nirañjana River in the village of Uruvilva, not long after his enlightenment. At that time, the World Honored One, alone in quiet contemplation, thought: 'There is one path that can purify sentient beings, liberate them from all sorrow and grief, extinguish suffering and affliction, and attain the true Dharma, which is the four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four? Mindfulness of the body, mindfulness of feelings, mindfulness of mind, and mindfulness of dharmas. If someone does not delight in the four foundations of mindfulness, then they do not delight in the noble Dharma; if they do not delight in the noble Dharma, then they do not delight in the noble path; if they do not delight in the noble path, then they do not delight in the nectar Dharma; if they do not delight in the nectar Dharma, then they will not be liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, affliction, and suffering. If one delights in practicing the four foundations of mindfulness, then they delight in practicing the noble Dharma; if they delight in practicing the noble Dharma, then they delight in the noble path; if they delight in the noble path, then they delight in the nectar Dharma; if they delight in the nectar Dharma, then they will be liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, affliction, and suffering.'


。」

爾時,娑婆世界主梵天王知佛心念已,譬如力士屈伸臂頃,于梵天沒,住于佛前,作是嘆言:「如是,世尊!如是,善逝!有一乘道能凈眾生,謂四念處,乃至解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。」

時,梵天王復說偈言:

「謂有一乘道,  見生諸有邊,  演說于正法,  安慰苦眾生。  過去諸世尊,  以乘斯道度;  當來諸世尊,  亦度乘斯道。  現在尊正覺,  乘此度海流,  究竟生死際,  調伏心清凈,  于生死輪轉,  悉已永消盡;  知種種諸界,  慧眼顯正道。  譬若恒水流,  悉歸趣大海,  激流浚漂遠,  正道亦如是。  廣智善顯示,  逮得甘露法,  殊勝正法輪,  本所未曾聞,  哀愍眾生故,  而為眾生轉。  覆護天人眾,  令度有彼岸,  是故諸眾生,  咸皆稽首禮。」

爾時,梵天王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一一九〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住郁毗羅聚落尼連禪河側菩提樹下,成佛未久

現代漢語譯本 當時,娑婆世界的梵天王知道佛的心意后,就像力士屈伸手臂一樣迅速,從梵天界消失,來到佛前,讚歎道:『正是這樣,世尊!正是這樣,善逝!有一條唯一的道路能夠凈化眾生,那就是四念處,乃至解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。』 當時,梵天王又說了偈語: 『說有一條唯一的道路,能看清生之諸有的邊際, 宣說正法,安慰受苦的眾生。 過去的諸位世尊,都是通過這條道路得度的; 未來的諸位世尊,也將通過這條道路得度。 現在的尊貴正覺者,也乘著這條道路渡過生死苦海, 最終到達生死輪迴的盡頭,調伏內心,使其清凈, 對於生死輪迴,都已永遠消滅; 知道種種不同的世界,用智慧之眼顯明正道。 譬如恒河之水,都歸向大海, 激流沖刷,奔騰遠去,正道也是如此。 廣大的智慧善於顯示,獲得甘露之法, 殊勝的正法輪,是以前從未聽聞的, 爲了憐憫眾生,才為眾生轉動。 覆蓋保護天人大眾,使他們渡過生死彼岸, 因此,一切眾生,都應當頂禮膜拜。』 當時,梵天王聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。 (一一九〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在郁毗羅聚落尼連禪河邊的菩提樹下,剛剛成佛不久。

English version At that time, the Brahma King, the lord of the Saha world, knowing the Buddha's thoughts, just as a strong man extends and retracts his arm, disappeared from the Brahma heaven and stood before the Buddha, exclaiming: 'It is so, World Honored One! It is so, Well-Gone One! There is one path that can purify sentient beings, namely the four foundations of mindfulness, and even liberation from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering.' Then, the Brahma King spoke in verse: 'It is said there is one path, that sees the boundaries of all existences, Expounding the true Dharma, comforting suffering beings. The past World Honored Ones, all crossed over by this path; The future World Honored Ones, will also cross over by this path. The present Venerable Rightly Awakened One, crosses the sea of suffering by this path, Ultimately reaching the end of birth and death, subduing the mind, making it pure, For the cycle of birth and death, all has been forever extinguished; Knowing all kinds of realms, with the eye of wisdom revealing the right path. Like the flow of the Ganges River, all returning to the great sea, The rushing torrents sweep far away, the right path is also like this. Vast wisdom skillfully reveals, attaining the nectar of Dharma, The supreme wheel of the true Dharma, never heard before, Out of compassion for sentient beings, it is turned for sentient beings. Covering and protecting the multitude of gods and humans, enabling them to cross to the other shore, Therefore, all sentient beings, should bow their heads in reverence.' At that time, the Brahma King, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1190) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling under the Bodhi tree by the side of the Nairanjana River in the village of Uruvilva, not long after his enlightenment.


爾時,娑婆世界主梵天王絕妙色身,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,而說偈言:

「于諸種姓中,  剎利兩足尊,  明行具足者,  天人中最勝!」

佛告梵天王:「如是,梵天!如是,梵天!

「于諸種姓中,  剎利兩足尊,  明行具足者,  天人中最勝。」

佛說是經已,娑婆世界主梵天王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一一九一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,住止空閑無聚落處,與比丘眾夜宿其中。爾時,世尊為諸比丘說隨順阿練若法。

時,娑婆世界主梵天王作是念:「今者世尊在拘薩羅人間遊行,住一空閑無聚落處,與諸大眾止宿空野。爾時,世尊為諸大眾說隨順空法,我今當往隨順讚歎!」

譬如力士屈伸臂頃,于梵天沒,住于佛前,稽首佛足,退坐一面,而說偈言:

「習近邊林座,  斷除諸煩惱;  若不樂空閑,  入眾自攝護。  自調伏其心,  家家行乞食,  攝持于諸根,  專精繫心念;  然後習空閑,  阿練若床座,  遠離諸恐怖,  無畏安隱住

現代漢語譯本: 那時,娑婆世界的統治者梵天王,以其絕妙的色身,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,並以偈頌說道: 『在所有種姓中,剎帝利是兩足中最尊貴的,明行具足的人,是天人中最殊勝的!』 佛陀告訴梵天王:『是的,梵天!是的,梵天!』 『在所有種姓中,剎帝利是兩足中最尊貴的,明行具足的人,是天人中最殊勝的。』 佛陀說完這部經后,娑婆世界的統治者梵天王聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的足部頂禮,隨即消失不見。

(一一九一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀在拘薩羅地區的人間游化,居住在空閑無人的地方,與比丘僧團一同在那裡過夜。當時,世尊為眾比丘宣說隨順阿練若(空閑處)的修行方法。 這時,娑婆世界的統治者梵天王心想:『現在世尊在拘薩羅地區的人間游化,居住在空閑無人的地方,與大眾一同在空曠的野外過夜。當時,世尊為大眾宣說隨順空性的教法,我今天應當前去隨順讚歎!』 就像力士屈伸手臂那樣迅速,梵天王從梵天界消失,出現在佛陀面前,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,並以偈頌說道: 『應當習近邊遠的林間禪座,斷除各種煩惱;如果不能樂於空閑,就應當進入人群中自我攝護。 自我調伏內心,挨家挨戶乞食,攝持好自己的諸根,專心一意地繫念; 然後才能習於空閑,在阿練若的床座上,遠離各種恐怖,無畏安穩地居住。』

English version: At that time, the Brahma King, the ruler of the Saha world, with his exquisite form, came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, retreated to one side, and spoke in verse: 'Among all castes, the Kshatriya is the most honored of the two-legged, the one who is complete in knowledge and conduct is the most excellent among gods and humans!' The Buddha told the Brahma King: 'So it is, Brahma! So it is, Brahma!' 'Among all castes, the Kshatriya is the most honored of the two-legged, the one who is complete in knowledge and conduct is the most excellent among gods and humans.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Brahma King, the ruler of the Saha world, heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared.

(1191)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the human realm of Kosala, dwelling in a secluded and uninhabited place, spending the night there with the assembly of monks. At that time, the World Honored One was teaching the monks about the practice of following the Aranya (secluded place). Then, the Brahma King, the ruler of the Saha world, thought: 'Now the World Honored One is traveling in the human realm of Kosala, dwelling in a secluded and uninhabited place, spending the night in the open wilderness with the assembly. At that time, the World Honored One is teaching the assembly about the Dharma of following emptiness, I should go now to follow and praise!' As quickly as a strong man extends and retracts his arm, the Brahma King disappeared from the Brahma realm and appeared before the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, retreated to one side, and spoke in verse: 'One should practice near the forest seat, cutting off all afflictions; if one does not delight in seclusion, one should enter the crowd and protect oneself. One should tame one's own mind, go from house to house for alms, restrain one's senses, and focus one's mind on mindfulness; Then one can practice in seclusion, on the Aranya seat, away from all fears, dwelling peacefully without fear.'


。  若彼諸兇險,  惡蛇眾毒害,  黑雲大闇冥;  震雷曜電光,  離諸煩惱故,  晝夜安隱住。  如我所聞法,  乃至不究竟,  獨一修梵行,  不畏千死魔,  若修于覺道,  不畏於萬數。  一切須陀洹,  或得斯陀含,  及阿那含者,  其數亦無量,  不能定其數,  恐怖于妄說。」

時,娑婆世界主梵天王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜已,為佛作禮,即沒不現。

(一一九二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住迦毗羅衛迦毗羅衛林中,與五百比丘俱,皆是羅漢,諸漏已盡,所作已作,離諸重擔,逮得己利,盡諸有結,正智心善解脫。爾時,世尊為諸大眾說涅槃相應法。

時,有十方世界大眾威力諸天皆悉來會,供養世尊及比丘僧。復有諸梵天王住于梵世,作是念:「今日佛住迦毗羅衛國……」如上廣說,乃至「供養世尊及諸大眾,我今當往各各讚歎!」

作是念已,譬如力士屈伸臂頃,從梵天沒,住于佛前。第一梵天即說偈言:

「於此大林中,  大眾普雲集,  十方諸天眾,  皆悉來恭敬,  故我遠來禮,  最勝難伏僧。」

第二梵天覆說偈言:

「是諸比丘僧,  真實心精進,  於此大林中,  攝諸根求度

{ "translations": [ "現代漢語譯本:如果那些兇險,惡蛇和各種毒害,黑暗的烏雲和巨大的黑暗,震耳的雷聲和閃耀的電光,都能遠離,因為沒有煩惱,就能日夜安穩地居住。正如我所聽聞的佛法,即使沒有完全領悟,獨自修行梵行,也不畏懼千死魔的威脅。如果修習覺悟之道,就不畏懼萬數的魔障。一切須陀洹,或者證得斯陀含,以及阿那含的人,他們的數量也是無量的,無法確定其數量,所以不要妄加猜測而感到恐懼。」, "這時,娑婆世界的主宰梵天王聽到佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎之後,向佛陀行禮,隨即消失不見。", "(一一九二)", "如是我聞:", "一時,佛陀住在迦毗羅衛的迦毗羅衛林中,與五百位比丘在一起,他們都是阿羅漢,諸漏已盡,該做的已做完,脫離了各種重擔,獲得了自身的利益,斷盡了各種束縛,以正智之心獲得了善解脫。當時,世尊為大眾宣說與涅槃相應的佛法。", "這時,有十方世界具有威力的諸天都來集會,供養世尊和比丘僧團。又有住在梵天的諸梵天王,心中想著:『今天佛陀住在迦毗羅衛國……』如上所廣說,乃至『供養世尊和大眾,我今天應當前往各自讚嘆!』", "這樣想著之後,就像力士屈伸手臂一樣,從梵天界消失,出現在佛陀面前。第一位梵天立刻說了偈語:", "『在這片大林中,大眾普遍聚集,十方諸天眾,都來恭敬禮拜,所以我遠道而來禮敬,最殊勝難以調伏的僧團。』", "第二位梵天又說了偈語:", "『這些比丘僧團,真心實意地精進修行,在這片大林中,收攝諸根,尋求解脫。』" ], "english_translations": [ "English version: If those dangers, evil snakes, and various poisons, dark clouds and great darkness, deafening thunder and shining lightning, can be avoided, because there are no afflictions, one can live peacefully day and night. Just as I have heard the Dharma, even if not fully understood, practicing celibacy alone, one is not afraid of the threat of a thousand deaths of Mara. If one cultivates the path of enlightenment, one is not afraid of ten thousand obstacles. All Srotapannas, or those who have attained Sakadagami, and Anagami, their numbers are also immeasurable, and it is impossible to determine their number, so do not make wild guesses and feel fear.", "At this time, the Brahma King, the ruler of the Saha world, heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, then bowed to the Buddha, and immediately disappeared.", "(1192)", "Thus have I heard:", "At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kapilavastu Grove in Kapilavastu, with five hundred bhikkhus, all of whom were Arhats, their outflows exhausted, what was to be done was done, having laid down all burdens, having attained their own benefit, having exhausted all fetters, and with right wisdom, their minds were well liberated. At that time, the World Honored One was expounding the Dharma corresponding to Nirvana to the assembly.", "At this time, powerful devas from the ten directions all came to assemble, making offerings to the World Honored One and the Sangha of bhikkhus. There were also Brahma Kings dwelling in the Brahma world, thinking: 'Today the Buddha is dwelling in the country of Kapilavastu...' as described above in detail, up to 'making offerings to the World Honored One and the assembly, today I should go and praise each one!'", "Having thought this, like a strong man stretching and bending his arm, they disappeared from the Brahma world and appeared before the Buddha. The first Brahma immediately spoke a verse:", "'In this great forest, the assembly is universally gathered, devas from the ten directions all come to pay their respects, therefore I have come from afar to pay homage, to the most supreme and difficult to subdue Sangha.'", "The second Brahma then spoke a verse:", "'These bhikkhus of the Sangha, with true hearts diligently practice, in this great forest, they restrain their senses, seeking liberation.'" ] }


。」

第三梵天次說偈言:

「善方便消融,  恩愛深利刺;  堅固不傾動,  如因陀羅幢。  度深塹水流,  清凈不求欲,  善度之導師,  諸調伏大龍。」

第四梵天次說偈言:

「歸依于佛者,  終不墮惡趣;  能斷人中身,  得天身受樂。」

各說偈已,四梵天身即沒不現。

(一一九三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。時,有娑婆世界主梵天王,日日精勤,往詣佛所,尊重供養。

時,娑婆世界主作是念:「今旦太早而來見佛,正值世尊入大三昧,我等且當入提婆達多伴黨瞿迦梨比丘房中。」作是念已,即入彼房,至房戶中,以指扣戶,口說是言:「瞿迦梨!瞿迦梨!于舍利弗、目連所起凈信心,汝莫長夜得不饒益苦!」

瞿迦梨言:「汝是誰?」

梵天答言:「娑婆世界主梵天王。」

瞿迦梨言:「世尊不記汝得阿那含耶?」

梵天王言:「如是,比丘!」

瞿迦梨言:「汝何故來?」

娑婆世界主梵天王答言:「此不可治。」即說偈言:

「于無量處所,  生心欲籌量;  何有黠慧者,  而生此覺想?  無量而欲量,  是陰蓋凡夫

第三梵天接著說偈頌: 『善巧方便能消解,深重恩愛如利刺; 堅定不動如磐石,猶如因陀羅的旗幟。 能渡過深淵水流,清凈無慾不貪求, 善於引導的導師,是調伏自心的大龍。』 第四梵天接著說偈頌: 『歸依佛陀的人,終究不會墮入惡道; 能捨棄人間的身體,獲得天上的快樂。』 說完偈頌后,四位梵天便消失不見。 (一一九三) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,娑婆世界的梵天王,每天都精勤地前往佛陀的住所,恭敬供養。 當時,娑婆世界的梵天王心想:『今天早上來見佛陀太早了,正值世尊進入大三昧,我們不如先去提婆達多的同黨瞿迦梨比丘的房間。』這樣想著,就進入了那個房間,走到房門前,用手指敲門,口中說道:『瞿迦梨!瞿迦梨!你對舍利弗、目犍連生起的清凈信心,不要讓你長夜遭受不利和痛苦!』 瞿迦梨問:『你是誰?』 梵天回答說:『我是娑婆世界的梵天王。』 瞿迦梨說:『世尊不是已經記說你證得阿那含果了嗎?』 梵天王說:『是的,比丘!』 瞿迦梨問:『你來這裡做什麼?』 娑婆世界的梵天王回答說:『這是無法醫治的。』接著說偈頌: 『在無量之處,生起想要衡量的心; 哪裡會有聰明的人,會產生這樣的想法? 想要衡量無量的事物,這是被陰蓋所矇蔽的凡夫。』

Then the third Brahma spoke in verse: 'Skillful means can dissolve, deep affection like a sharp thorn; Firm and unmoving, like Indra's banner. Crossing the deep abyss of water, pure and without desire, The guide who leads well, is the great dragon who has tamed himself.' Then the fourth Brahma spoke in verse: 'Those who take refuge in the Buddha, will never fall into evil realms; They can abandon the human body, and attain heavenly bliss.' After speaking the verses, the four Brahmas disappeared. (1193) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the Brahma King of the Saha world, diligently went to the Buddha's place every day, with respect and offerings. At that time, the Brahma King of the Saha world thought: 'It is too early to see the Buddha this morning, as the World Honored One is in great samadhi. We should go to the room of the bhikkhu Gokali, a companion of Devadatta.' Thinking this, he entered that room, reached the door, knocked with his finger, and said: 'Gokali! Gokali! The pure faith you have in Sariputra and Maudgalyayana, do not let it bring you long nights of disadvantage and suffering!' Gokali asked: 'Who are you?' The Brahma replied: 'I am the Brahma King of the Saha world.' Gokali said: 'Hasn't the World Honored One declared that you have attained Anagami?' The Brahma King said: 'Yes, bhikkhu!' Gokali asked: 'Why have you come here?' The Brahma King of the Saha world replied: 'This is incurable.' Then he spoke in verse: 'In countless places, the mind arises wanting to measure; Where would there be a wise person, who would have such a thought? Wanting to measure the immeasurable, is a common person covered by the skandhas.'


。」

時,娑婆世界主梵天王往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我常日日勤到佛所,親覲供養,我作是念:『今旦太早來見世尊,正值世尊入大三昧,我且當入提婆達多伴黨瞿迦梨比丘房中。』即住戶中,徐徐扣戶,口說是言:『瞿迦梨!瞿迦梨!當於舍利弗、目揵連賢善智慧者所起凈信心,莫長夜得不饒益苦!』瞿迦梨言:『汝是誰?』我即答言:『是娑婆世界主梵天王。』瞿迦梨言:『世尊不記汝得阿那含耶?』我即答言:『如是。』瞿迦梨復言:『汝何故來?』我作是念:『此不可治。』即說偈言:

「『于不可量處,  發心欲籌量,   不可量欲量,  是陰蓋凡夫。』」

佛語梵王:「如是,如是。梵王!

「于不可量處,  而發心欲量;  何有智慧人,  而生此妄想?  不可量欲量,  是陰蓋凡夫。」

佛說此經已,娑婆世界主梵天王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起,為佛作禮,即沒不現。

(一一九四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,大梵天王及余別梵天——善臂別梵天,日日方便,往見供養世尊

現代漢語譯本 當時,娑婆世界的梵天王來到佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足后,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!我每天都勤奮地來到佛陀這裡,親自拜見供養。我曾這樣想:『今天早上來見世尊太早了,正趕上世尊進入大三昧,我不如先去提婆達多一夥的瞿迦梨比丘的房間。』於是我站在門口,輕輕地敲門,口中說道:『瞿迦梨!瞿迦梨!你應該對舍利弗、目犍連這些賢善有智慧的人產生清凈的信心,不要長夜遭受沒有利益的痛苦!』瞿迦梨問:『你是誰?』我回答說:『我是娑婆世界的梵天王。』瞿迦梨說:『世尊不是記說你已證得阿那含果了嗎?』我回答說:『是的。』瞿迦梨又問:『你來這裡做什麼?』我心想:『這個人不可救藥了。』於是就說了偈語: 『對於不可度量的事物, 卻發心想要去度量, 想要度量不可度量的事物, 這是被五陰覆蓋的凡夫。』 佛陀對梵天王說:『是這樣的,是這樣的。梵天王!』 『對於不可度量的事物, 卻發心想要去度量; 哪裡會有智慧的人, 會產生這種妄想? 想要度量不可度量的事物, 這是被五陰覆蓋的凡夫。』 佛陀說完這部經后,娑婆世界的梵天王聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,從座位上起身,向佛陀頂禮,隨即消失不見。 (一一九四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,大梵天王以及其他梵天——善臂梵天,每天都想方設法,前去拜見供養世尊。

English version At that time, the Brahma King of the Saha world went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and sat to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! I diligently come to the Buddha every day to personally pay respects and make offerings. I thought to myself, 『Coming to see the World Honored One this morning is too early, as the World Honored One is just entering the great Samadhi. I might as well go to the room of the bhikkhu Gokālika, who is in Devadatta's group.』 So I stood at the door, gently knocked, and said, 『Gokālika! Gokālika! You should develop pure faith in the wise and virtuous Śāriputra and Maudgalyāyana, and not suffer long nights of unprofitable pain!』 Gokālika asked, 『Who are you?』 I replied, 『I am the Brahma King of the Saha world.』 Gokālika said, 『Didn't the World Honored One declare that you have attained Anāgāmin?』 I replied, 『Yes.』 Gokālika then asked, 『Why have you come here?』 I thought, 『This person is incurable.』 So I spoke this verse: 『To try to measure the immeasurable, Is to have the mind set on measuring; To want to measure the immeasurable, Is to be a common person covered by the five aggregates.』 The Buddha said to the Brahma King, 『So it is, so it is, Brahma King!』 『To try to measure the immeasurable, Is to have the mind set on measuring; Where is the wise person, Who would give rise to such delusion? To want to measure the immeasurable, Is to be a common person covered by the five aggregates.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Brahma King of the Saha world, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted. He rose from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, and then disappeared. (1194) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rājagṛha. At that time, the Great Brahma King and other Brahmas—the Brahma Subāhu—daily sought ways to go and pay respects to and make offerings to the World Honored One.


時,有婆句梵天見別梵天——善臂梵天,精勤方便,而問言:「汝欲何之?」

彼即答言:「欲見世尊,恭敬供養。」

時,婆句梵天即說偈言:

「彼有四鵠鳥,  三種金色宮,  五百七十二,  修行禪思者,  熾焰金色身,  普照梵天宮;  汝且觀我身,  何用至彼為?」

爾時,善梵王、別梵王——善臂別梵王復說偈言:

「雖有金色身,  普照梵天宮,  其有智慧者,  知色有煩惱,  智者不樂色,  于其心解脫。」

時,彼善梵天、別梵天——善臂別梵天,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我今方便,欲來見世尊,恭敬供養。有婆句梵天,見我方便,而問我言:『汝今方便,欲何所之?』我即答言:『欲往見世尊,禮事供養。』婆句梵天即說偈言:

「『有四種鵠鳥,  三種金色宮,   五百七十二,  于中而禪思,   觀我身金色,  普照梵天宮;   汝且觀我身,  何用至彼為?』

「我即說偈而答彼言:

「『雖有金色身,  普照梵天宮,   當知真金色,  是則煩惱事。   智者解脫色,  於色不復樂

現代漢語譯本 當時,有一位婆句梵天看見另一位梵天——善臂梵天,他正精勤地準備前往,便問他:『你打算去哪裡?』 他回答說:『我想去見世尊,恭敬地供養他。』 這時,婆句梵天就說了偈語: 『我有四隻鵠鳥,三種金色的宮殿,五百七十二位修行禪思的人,我熾熱的金身,普照著整個梵天宮;你看看我的身體,何必還要去見他呢?』 這時,善梵王、另一位梵王——善臂梵王也說了偈語: 『雖然有金色的身體,普照著梵天宮,但有智慧的人,知道色相是有煩惱的,智者不貪戀色相,他們的心已經從中解脫。』 當時,那位善梵天、另一位梵天——善臂梵天,前往佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁坐下,對佛陀說:『世尊!我正準備前來見世尊,恭敬地供養您。有一位婆句梵天,看見我準備前往,就問我:『你現在準備去哪裡?』我回答說:『我想去見世尊,禮拜供養他。』婆句梵天就說了偈語: 『我有四種鵠鳥,三種金色的宮殿,五百七十二位在其中禪思的人,看看我金色的身體,普照著整個梵天宮;你看看我的身體,何必還要去見他呢?』 『我隨即說了偈語回答他: 『雖然有金色的身體,普照著梵天宮,應當知道真正的金色,也是煩惱的根源。智者能夠從色相中解脫,不再貪戀色相。』

English version At that time, there was a Brahma named Bhagu who saw another Brahma—Brahma Subahu—diligently preparing to go somewhere, and asked him, 'Where do you intend to go?' He replied, 'I wish to see the World Honored One and respectfully make offerings to him.' Then, Brahma Bhagu spoke a verse: 'I have four swans, three golden palaces, five hundred and seventy-two practitioners meditating, my blazing golden body illuminates the entire Brahma realm; look at my body, why do you need to go see him?' At that time, Brahma Subahu, another Brahma, also spoke a verse: 'Although there is a golden body, illuminating the Brahma realm, those with wisdom know that form is a source of affliction, the wise do not delight in form, their minds are liberated from it.' Then, that Brahma Subahu, another Brahma, went to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! I was preparing to come see the World Honored One and respectfully make offerings to you. There was a Brahma named Bhagu, who saw me preparing to go, and asked me, 'Where are you now preparing to go?' I replied, 'I wish to go see the World Honored One and pay homage and make offerings to him.' Brahma Bhagu then spoke a verse: 'I have four kinds of swans, three golden palaces, five hundred and seventy-two who meditate within them, look at my golden body, illuminating the entire Brahma realm; look at my body, why do you need to go see him?' 'I then spoke a verse in reply to him: 'Although there is a golden body, illuminating the Brahma realm, one should know that true gold is a source of affliction. The wise are liberated from form, and no longer delight in it.'


。』」

佛告梵天:「如是,梵天!如是,梵天!

「雖有真金色,  普照梵天宮,  當知真金色,  則是煩惱事,  智者解脫色,  於色不復樂。」

時,彼梵天為迦吒務陀低沙比丘故,說偈言:

「夫士生世間,  利斧在口中;  還自斬其身,  斯由惡言故。  應毀者稱譽,  應譽而反毀;  惡口增其過,  所生無安樂!  博弈酒喪財,  其過失甚少;  噁心向善逝,  是則為大過!  地獄有百千,  名尼羅浮地,  三十有六百,  及五阿浮陀;  斯皆謗聖獄,  口意惡愿故。」

佛說此經已,彼諸梵天聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一一九五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有婆句梵天住梵天上,起如是惡邪見言:「此處常、恒、非變易法,純一出離之處。」

爾時,世尊知婆句梵天心念已,入於三昧,如其正受,于王舍城沒,住梵天上。

婆句梵天遙見世尊而說偈言:

「梵天七十二,  造作諸福樂;  自在而常住,  生老死已過。  我于諸明論,  修習已究竟;  彼諸天眾等,  唯謂我長存

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴梵天:『是的,梵天!是的,梵天!』 『即使有真正的金色光芒,普照梵天宮殿,應當知道這真正的金色,也是煩惱的根源。智者解脫了對色的執著,不再貪戀色。』 當時,那位梵天爲了迦吒務陀低比丘的緣故,說了偈語: 『人出生在世間,口中就像有利斧;反而會斬傷自己,這是因為惡語的緣故。應該被譭謗的反而稱讚,應該被稱讚的反而譭謗;惡語會增加過錯,所生之處沒有安樂!賭博和飲酒會喪失錢財,但那過失還算很小;如果用噁心對待善逝,那才是大過錯!地獄有成百上千,名為尼羅浮地,還有三百六十個,以及五個阿浮陀;這些都是誹謗聖者的地獄,因為口和意念的惡愿。』 佛陀說完這部經后,那些梵天聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後就消失不見了。 (一一九五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位婆句梵天住在梵天上,生起了這樣的邪見:『這裡是常住、恒久、不變易的,是純粹解脫的地方。』 這時,世尊知道婆句梵天的心念后,進入禪定,就像他所證得的那樣,從王舍城消失,出現在梵天上。 婆句梵天遠遠地看見世尊,就說了偈語: 『七十二位梵天,創造了各種福樂;他們自在而常住,已經超越了生老死。我對於各種明論,已經修習到了究竟;那些天眾們,都認為我是長存的。』

English version The Buddha told Brahma, 'So it is, Brahma! So it is, Brahma!' 'Even if there is true golden light, illuminating the Brahma palace, know that this true gold is also a source of affliction. The wise one is liberated from attachment to form, and no longer delights in form.' Then, that Brahma, for the sake of the monk Katamutodika, spoke a verse: 'A person born into the world has an axe in their mouth; they will cut themselves, because of evil speech. Those who should be reviled are praised, and those who should be praised are reviled; evil speech increases faults, and there is no peace in the place of birth! Gambling and drinking lose wealth, but that fault is very small; if one treats the Sugata with evil intent, that is a great fault! There are hundreds and thousands of hells, called Nirobhuti, and three hundred and sixty, and five Abhudas; these are all hells for slandering the saints, because of evil wishes in mouth and mind.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, those Brahmas heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1195) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, there was a Brahma named Baka, dwelling in the Brahma heaven, who arose with such a wrong view: 'This place is permanent, eternal, unchanging, and a place of pure liberation.' Then, the World Honored One, knowing the thoughts of Brahma Baka, entered into samadhi, and as he had attained, disappeared from Rajagriha and appeared in the Brahma heaven. Brahma Baka saw the World Honored One from afar and spoke a verse: 'Seventy-two Brahmas created all kinds of blessings and happiness; they are free and permanent, and have transcended birth, old age, and death. I have cultivated all kinds of clear doctrines to the ultimate; those heavenly beings all think that I am eternal.'


。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「此則極短壽,  非是長存者;  而婆句梵天,  自謂為長壽。  尼羅浮多獄,  其壽百千數;  我悉憶念知,  汝自謂長存!」

婆句梵天覆說偈言:

「佛世尊所見,  其劫數無邊,  生老死憂悲,  皆悉已過去。  唯愿說知我,  過去曾所更,  受持何戒業,  而得生於此?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「過去久遠劫,  于大曠野中,  有諸大眾行,  多賢聖梵行,  饑乏無資糧,  汝救之令度,  慈救心相續,  經劫而不失。  是則汝過去,  所受持功德,  我悉憶念知,  久近如眠覺。  過去有村邑,  為賊所抄掠,  汝時悉皆救,  令其得解脫;  是則過去世,  所受持福業,  我憶此因緣,  久近如眠覺。  過去有人眾,  乘船恒水中,  惡龍持彼船,  欲盡害其命,  汝時以神力,  救令得解脫;  是則汝過去,  所受持福業,  我憶是因緣,  久近如眠覺。」

婆句梵天覆說偈言:

「決定悉知我,  古今壽命事,  亦知餘一切,  是則為正覺;  是故所受身,  金光炎普照,  其身住於此,  光明遍世間

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『這壽命極其短暫,並非長久存在; 而婆句梵天,卻自認為長壽。 尼羅浮多地獄,其壽命有百千之數; 我全部憶念知曉,你卻自認為長存!』 婆句梵天又說偈語道: 『佛世尊所見,其劫數無邊, 生老死憂悲,都已過去。 唯愿您告知我,過去曾經歷過什麼, 受持了什麼戒律和善業,才得以生於此?』 當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『過去久遠的劫數,在大曠野中, 有許多大眾行走,多是賢聖的修行者, 他們飢餓缺乏資糧,你救助他們得以度過, 慈悲救助的心相續不斷,經歷劫數而不失。 這是你過去,所受持的功德, 我全部憶念知曉,如同從睡眠中醒來一樣清晰。 過去有個村莊,被盜賊搶掠, 你當時全部救助,使他們得以解脫; 這是你過去世,所受持的福業, 我憶起這個因緣,如同從睡眠中醒來一樣清晰。 過去有人眾,乘船在水中, 惡龍抓住他們的船,想要奪取他們的性命, 你當時用神力,救助他們得以解脫; 這是你過去,所受持的福業, 我憶起這個因緣,如同從睡眠中醒來一樣清晰。』 婆句梵天又說偈語道: 『您確實完全知曉我,古今的壽命之事, 也知曉其他一切,這才是真正的覺悟; 因此我所受的身體,金光火焰普照, 我的身體住在這裡,光明遍照世間。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'This is an extremely short life, not one that lasts long; While Brahma Baka, considers himself to have a long life. The Naraka of Nirobuda, its lifespan is in the hundreds of thousands; I remember and know all of it, yet you consider yourself to be long-lasting!' Brahma Baka then spoke another verse: 'What the Buddha, the World Honored One, has seen, its kalpas are boundless, Birth, old age, death, sorrow, and grief, all have passed. I wish you would tell me, what I have experienced in the past, What precepts and good deeds I upheld, that I was born here?' At that time, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'In the distant past kalpas, in the great wilderness, There were many people walking, many were virtuous and holy practitioners, They were hungry and lacked provisions, you rescued them and helped them through, Your compassionate heart of rescue continued, through kalpas without fail. This is the merit you upheld in the past, I remember and know all of it, as clear as waking from sleep. In the past there was a village, that was plundered by thieves, You rescued them all at that time, enabling them to be liberated; This is the meritorious deed you upheld in the past life, I remember this cause and condition, as clear as waking from sleep. In the past there were people, traveling by boat on the water, An evil dragon seized their boat, wanting to take their lives, You then used your divine power, to rescue them and enable them to be liberated; This is the meritorious deed you upheld in the past, I remember this cause and condition, as clear as waking from sleep.' Brahma Baka then spoke another verse: 'You truly know me completely, the matters of my lifespan in the past and present, And you also know all else, this is true enlightenment; Therefore, the body I have received, shines with golden light and flames, My body dwells here, its light illuminates the world.'


。」

爾時,世尊為婆句梵天種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,如其正受,從梵天沒,還王舍城。

(一一九六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有一梵天住梵天上,起如是邪見言:「此處常、恒、不變易,純一出離,未曾見有來至此處,況復有過此上者?」

爾時,世尊知彼梵天心之所念,即入三昧,如其正受,于舍衛國沒,現梵天宮,當彼梵天頂上,于虛空中結跏趺坐,正身繫念。

爾時,尊者阿若俱鄰作是念:「今日世尊為在何所?」即以天眼凈過人間眼,觀見世尊在梵天上。見已,即入三昧,如其正受,于舍衛國沒,現彼梵世,在於東方,西面向佛,結跏趺坐,端身繫念,在佛座下,梵天座上。

爾時,尊者摩訶迦葉作是念:「今日世尊為在何所?」即以天眼凈過於人眼,見世尊在梵天上。見已,即入三昧,如其正受,于舍衛國沒,現梵天上,在於南方,北面向佛,結跏趺坐,端身繫念,在佛座下,梵天座上。

時,尊者舍利弗作是念:「世尊今者為在何所?」即以天眼凈過於人眼,見世尊在梵天上。見已,即入三昧,如其正受,于舍衛國沒,住梵天上,在於西方,東面向佛,結跏趺坐,端身繫念,在佛座下,梵天座上

當時,世尊為婆句梵天宣說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、令其歡喜后,就像他入定一樣,從梵天界消失,回到了王舍城。 (一一九六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位梵天住在梵天界,生起了這樣的邪見,說:『這裡是常住、恒久、不變易的,純粹的解脫之地,從未見過有誰來到這裡,更何況有誰能超越這裡?』 這時,世尊知道那位梵天心中所想,就進入禪定,就像他入定一樣,在舍衛國消失,顯現在梵天宮,在那位梵天的頭頂上方的虛空中結跏趺坐,端正身體,繫念於心。 當時,尊者阿若憍陳如心想:『今天世尊在哪裡呢?』就用天眼,這天眼清凈勝過人間之眼,看見世尊在梵天界。看見后,就進入禪定,就像他入定一樣,在舍衛國消失,顯現在那個梵天世界,在東方,面向西方佛陀,結跏趺坐,端正身體,繫念於心,在佛陀的座位下,梵天的座位之上。 當時,尊者摩訶迦葉心想:『今天世尊在哪裡呢?』就用天眼,這天眼清凈勝過人間之眼,看見世尊在梵天界。看見后,就進入禪定,就像他入定一樣,在舍衛國消失,顯現在梵天界,在南方,面向北方佛陀,結跏趺坐,端正身體,繫念於心,在佛陀的座位下,梵天的座位之上。 當時,尊者舍利弗心想:『世尊今天在哪裡呢?』就用天眼,這天眼清凈勝過人間之眼,看見世尊在梵天界。看見后,就進入禪定,就像他入定一樣,在舍衛國消失,住在梵天界,在西方,面向東方佛陀,結跏趺坐,端正身體,繫念於心,在佛陀的座位下,梵天的座位之上。

At that time, the World-Honored One, having spoken various teachings to the Brahma Bhakku, having shown, taught, illuminated, and gladdened him, just as he was in samadhi, disappeared from the Brahma realm and returned to Rajagriha. (1196) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there was a Brahma dwelling in the Brahma heaven who arose with such a wrong view, saying: 'This place is permanent, constant, unchangeable, purely liberated, and has never been seen to have anyone come here, let alone anyone who could surpass this place?' At that time, the World-Honored One, knowing the thoughts in that Brahma's mind, immediately entered samadhi, and just as he was in samadhi, disappeared from Shravasti, appeared in the Brahma palace, above the head of that Brahma, in the empty space, sitting cross-legged, with his body upright, and his mind focused. At that time, the Venerable Ajnata Kaundinya thought: 'Where is the World-Honored One today?' He then used his divine eye, which was purer than the human eye, and saw the World-Honored One in the Brahma heaven. Having seen this, he entered samadhi, and just as he was in samadhi, disappeared from Shravasti, appeared in that Brahma world, in the east, facing the Buddha to the west, sitting cross-legged, with his body upright, and his mind focused, below the Buddha's seat, above the Brahma's seat. At that time, the Venerable Mahakasyapa thought: 'Where is the World-Honored One today?' He then used his divine eye, which was purer than the human eye, and saw the World-Honored One in the Brahma heaven. Having seen this, he entered samadhi, and just as he was in samadhi, disappeared from Shravasti, appeared in the Brahma heaven, in the south, facing the Buddha to the north, sitting cross-legged, with his body upright, and his mind focused, below the Buddha's seat, above the Brahma's seat. At that time, the Venerable Shariputra thought: 'Where is the World-Honored One today?' He then used his divine eye, which was purer than the human eye, and saw the World-Honored One in the Brahma heaven. Having seen this, he entered samadhi, and just as he was in samadhi, disappeared from Shravasti, stayed in the Brahma heaven, in the west, facing the Buddha to the east, sitting cross-legged, with his body upright, and his mind focused, below the Buddha's seat, above the Brahma's seat.


爾時,尊者大目揵連即作是念:「今日世尊為在何所?」以天眼凈過於人眼,遙見世尊在梵天上。見已,即入三昧,如其正受,于舍衛國沒,住梵天上,在於北方,南面向佛,結跏趺坐,端身繫念,在佛座下,梵天座上。

爾時,世尊告梵天曰:「汝今復起是見:『從本已來,未曾見有過我上者』不?」

梵天白佛:「我今不敢復言:『我未曾見有過我上者。』唯見梵天光明被障。」爾時,世尊為彼梵天種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,即入三昧,如其正受,于梵天上沒,還舍衛國。

尊者阿若俱鄰、摩訶迦葉、舍利弗為彼梵天種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,即入三昧,如其正受,于梵天沒,還舍衛國,唯尊者大目揵連仍于彼住。

時,彼梵天問尊者大目揵連:「世尊諸餘弟子悉有如是大德大力不?」

時,尊者大目揵連即說偈言:

「大德具三明,  通達觀他心,  漏盡諸羅漢,  其數無有量。」

時,尊者大目揵連為彼梵天種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,即入三昧,如其正受,于梵天沒,還舍衛國。

(一一九七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住俱尸那竭國力士生地堅固雙樹林

現代漢語譯本 當時,尊者大目犍連心想:『今天世尊在哪裡呢?』他用天眼觀察,比人眼看得更遠,遙見世尊在梵天上。看到后,他立即進入禪定,就像他正確地進入禪定一樣,在舍衛國消失,出現在梵天上,在北方,面向南方,對著佛陀,結跏趺坐,端正身體,集中意念,坐在佛陀的座位下,梵天的座位上。 當時,世尊告訴梵天說:『你現在又產生這樣的想法:『從一開始,我從未見過有比我更尊貴的人』,是嗎?』 梵天對佛說:『我現在不敢再說:『我從未見過有比我更尊貴的人。』我只看到梵天的光明被遮蔽了。』當時,世尊為那梵天說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜后,立即進入禪定,就像他正確地進入禪定一樣,在梵天上消失,回到舍衛國。 尊者阿若憍陳如、摩訶迦葉、舍利弗為那梵天說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜后,立即進入禪定,就像他們正確地進入禪定一樣,在梵天消失,回到舍衛國,只有尊者大目犍連仍然在那裡。 當時,那梵天問尊者大目犍連:『世尊的其他弟子都有這樣的大德大力量嗎?』 當時,尊者大目犍連就說了偈語: 『大德具三明,通達觀他心,漏盡諸羅漢,其數無有量。』 當時,尊者大目犍連為那梵天說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜后,立即進入禪定,就像他正確地進入禪定一樣,在梵天消失,回到舍衛國。 (一一九七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在拘尸那竭國力士的出生地堅固雙樹林。

English version At that time, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana thought: 'Where is the World Honored One today?' With his divine eye, which surpassed human eyes, he saw the World Honored One in the Brahma heaven. Having seen this, he immediately entered samadhi, and as he was properly absorbed, he vanished from Śrāvastī and appeared in the Brahma heaven, in the north, facing south towards the Buddha, sitting cross-legged, with his body upright and his mind focused, below the Buddha's seat, on the Brahma's seat. At that time, the World Honored One said to Brahma: 'Do you now have this view again: 'From the beginning, I have never seen anyone superior to me'?' Brahma said to the Buddha: 'I dare not say again: 'I have never seen anyone superior to me.' I only see that the light of Brahma is obscured.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke various teachings to that Brahma, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening him. Then, he immediately entered samadhi, and as he was properly absorbed, he vanished from the Brahma heaven and returned to Śrāvastī. The venerable Ajñāta Kauṇḍinya, Mahākāśyapa, and Śāriputra spoke various teachings to that Brahma, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening him. Then, they immediately entered samadhi, and as they were properly absorbed, they vanished from the Brahma heaven and returned to Śrāvastī. Only the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana remained there. At that time, that Brahma asked the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana: 'Do all the other disciples of the World Honored One have such great virtue and power?' At that time, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana spoke this verse: 'The great virtuous one possesses the three knowledges, understands and observes the minds of others, the Arhats who have exhausted their outflows, their number is immeasurable.' At that time, the venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana spoke various teachings to that Brahma, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening him. Then, he immediately entered samadhi, and as he was properly absorbed, he vanished from the Brahma heaven and returned to Śrāvastī. (1197) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Sala Grove of the Mallas, the birthplace of the strongmen, in Kuśinagara.


爾時,世尊臨般涅槃,告尊者阿難:「汝于堅固雙樹間敷繩床,北首,如來今日中夜于無餘涅槃而般涅槃。」

時,尊者阿難奉世尊教,于雙堅固樹間為世尊敷繩床,北首已,還世尊所,稽首禮足,白言世尊:「已為如來於雙堅固樹間敷繩床,令北首。」

於是,世尊往就繩床,右脅著地,北首而臥,足足相累,繫念明相。

爾時,世尊即于中夜,于無餘涅槃而般涅槃。般涅槃已,雙堅固樹尋即生花,周匝垂下,供養世尊。

時,有異比丘即說偈言:

「善好堅固樹,  枝條垂禮佛,  妙花以供養,  大師般涅槃。」

尋時,釋提桓因說偈:

「一切行無常,  斯皆生滅法,  雖生尋以滅,  斯寂滅為樂。」

尋時,娑婆世界主梵天王次復說偈言:

「世間一切生,  立者皆當舍,  如是聖大師,  世間無有比。  逮得如來力,  普為世間眼,  終歸會磨滅,  入無餘涅槃。」

尊者阿那律陀次復說偈言:

「出息入息住,  立心善攝護,  從所依而來,  世間般涅槃。  大恐怖相生,  令人身毛豎,  一切行力具,  大師般涅槃。  其心不懈怠,  亦不住諸愛,  心法漸解脫,  如薪盡火滅

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊臨近涅槃,告訴尊者阿難:『你到堅固雙樹之間鋪設繩床,頭朝北,如來今天半夜將在無餘涅槃中入滅。』 當時,尊者阿難遵從世尊的教誨,在雙堅固樹之間為世尊鋪設繩床,頭朝北后,回到世尊那裡,稽首禮拜,稟告世尊說:『已經為如來在雙堅固樹之間鋪設好繩床,頭朝北了。』 於是,世尊前往繩床,右側身著地,頭朝北躺下,雙腳交疊,繫念著光明之相。 當時,世尊就在半夜,在無餘涅槃中入滅。入滅后,雙堅固樹立刻開花,花朵周匝垂下,供養世尊。 當時,有一位比丘說了偈語: 『美好的堅固樹,枝條垂下禮拜佛陀,用美妙的花朵供養,大師入涅槃。』 隨即,釋提桓因說了偈語: 『一切行都是無常的,這些都是生滅之法,雖然生起隨即滅去,這種寂滅才是快樂。』 隨即,娑婆世界主梵天王接著說了偈語: 『世間一切有生之物,存在者都將捨棄,像這樣偉大的聖者,世間沒有可以比擬的。獲得如來的力量,普遍作為世間的眼睛,最終也會磨滅,進入無餘涅槃。』 尊者阿那律陀接著說了偈語: 『出息入息停止,保持心念善加攝護,從所依而來,世間入涅槃。大恐怖相產生,令人汗毛豎立,一切行之力具足,大師入涅槃。他的心不懈怠,也不執著于諸愛,心法逐漸解脫,如同柴盡火滅。』

English version At that time, the World Honored One, nearing Parinirvana, said to Venerable Ananda, 'You should prepare a rope bed between the twin Sala trees, with its head pointing north. The Tathagata will enter Parinirvana without remainder in the middle of this night.' Then, Venerable Ananda, following the World Honored One's instructions, prepared a rope bed for the World Honored One between the twin Sala trees, with its head pointing north. Having done so, he returned to the World Honored One, bowed his head to the ground, and reported, 'World Honored One, I have prepared the rope bed for the Tathagata between the twin Sala trees, with its head pointing north.' Thereupon, the World Honored One went to the rope bed, lay down on his right side, with his head pointing north, and his feet overlapping, focusing his mind on the sign of light. Then, in the middle of the night, the World Honored One entered Parinirvana without remainder. After his Parinirvana, the twin Sala trees immediately blossomed, with flowers hanging down all around, offering to the World Honored One. At that time, a certain Bhikkhu spoke a verse: 'The fine and sturdy trees, their branches bowing in reverence to the Buddha, offer beautiful flowers, as the Great Master enters Parinirvana.' Immediately, Sakra, the Lord of the Devas, spoke a verse: 'All conditioned things are impermanent, they are all subject to arising and ceasing. Though they arise, they soon cease, and this cessation is bliss.' Then, Brahma, the Lord of the Saha World, spoke another verse: 'All beings in the world, those who exist must all depart. Such a great holy master, there is none comparable in the world. Having attained the power of the Tathagata, universally serving as the eyes of the world, he will ultimately perish, entering Parinirvana without remainder.' Venerable Anuruddha then spoke another verse: 'The out-breath and in-breath cease, the mind is well-guarded, coming from its support, the world enters Parinirvana. Great terror arises, causing the hair on the body to stand on end. All the powers of action are complete, the Great Master enters Parinirvana. His mind is not lazy, nor does it cling to any love. The mind and its laws are gradually liberated, like a fire extinguished when the fuel is exhausted.'


。」

如來涅槃后七日,尊者阿難往枝提所,而說偈言:

「導師此寶身,  往詣梵天上,  如是大神力,  內火還燒身。  五百㲲纏身,  悉燒令磨滅,  千領細㲲衣,  以衣如來身。  唯二領不燒,  最上及襯身。」

尊者阿難說是偈時,諸比丘默然悲喜!

雜阿含經卷第四十五

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(一一九八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有阿臘毗比丘尼,住舍衛國王園精舍比丘尼眾中。時,阿臘毗比丘尼晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足,持尼師壇,著右肩上,入安陀林坐禪。

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園,有弟子阿臘毗比丘尼,住舍衛國王園精舍比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,持尼師壇,著右肩上,入安陀林坐禪。我今當往,為作留難。」即化作年少,容貌端正,往詣彼比丘尼所,語比丘尼言:「阿姨!欲何處去?」

比丘尼答言:「賢者!到遠離處去

現代漢語譯本 如來涅槃七日後,尊者阿難前往枝提,並說了這首偈: 『導師的寶貴遺體,升往梵天之上,如此強大的神力,體內之火反燃自身。 五百層纏繞的布,都被燒得消滅,千層細薄的衣物,用來覆蓋如來的身體。 只有兩層沒有燒燬,最上面的一層和貼身的一層。』 尊者阿難說完這首偈時,眾比丘都默然,既悲傷又歡喜! 《雜阿含經》卷第四十四 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第四十五 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (一一九八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫阿臘毗的比丘尼,住在舍衛國王園精舍的比丘尼僧團中。阿臘毗比丘尼早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著坐具,搭在右肩上,進入安陀林坐禪。 這時,魔王波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園,他的弟子阿臘毗比丘尼,住在舍衛國王園精舍的比丘尼僧團中,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著坐具,搭在右肩上,進入安陀林坐禪。我現在應當前去,給她製造障礙。』於是,他化作一個容貌端正的年輕人,前往那位比丘尼所在的地方,對她說:『阿姨!您想去哪裡?』 比丘尼回答說:『賢者!我到遠離之處去。』

English version Seven days after the Tathagata's Nirvana, Venerable Ananda went to Jeti and spoke this verse: 'The Teacher's precious body ascends to the Brahma heavens, such great divine power, the inner fire burns the body. Five hundred layers of cloth wrapped around the body, all burned and destroyed, a thousand layers of fine clothing, used to cover the Tathagata's body. Only two layers did not burn, the outermost and the innermost.' When Venerable Ananda finished reciting this verse, the monks were silent, both sorrowful and joyful! Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 44 Taisho Tripitaka No. 0099, Samyukta Agama Sutra Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 45 Translated by Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India (1198) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, there was a Bhikkhuni named Alarabi, residing in the Bhikkhuni Sangha of the King's Garden Monastery in Sravasti. Bhikkhuni Alarabi, in the morning, having put on her robes and taken her bowl, entered the city of Sravasti to beg for alms. Having eaten, she returned to the monastery, put away her robes and bowl, washed her feet, took her sitting mat, placed it on her right shoulder, and entered the Andha forest to meditate. Then, Mara Papiyas thought: 'Now the Shramana Gautama is dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti, and his disciple, Bhikkhuni Alarabi, is residing in the Bhikkhuni Sangha of the King's Garden Monastery in Sravasti. In the morning, having put on her robes and taken her bowl, she enters the city of Sravasti to beg for alms. Having eaten, she returns to the monastery, puts away her robes and bowl, washes her feet, takes her sitting mat, places it on her right shoulder, and enters the Andha forest to meditate. I should go now and create obstacles for her.' So, he transformed himself into a handsome young man and went to where the Bhikkhuni was, saying to her, 'Aunt! Where do you wish to go?' The Bhikkhuni replied, 'Good sir! I am going to a secluded place.'


。」

時,魔波旬即說偈言:

「世間無有出,  用求遠離為,  還服食五欲,  勿令后變悔。」

時,阿臘毗比丘尼作是念:「是誰?欲恐怖我。為是人耶?為非人耶?奸狡人耶?」

心即念言:「此必惡魔欲亂我耳。」覺知已,而說偈言:

「世間有出要,  我自知所得,  鄙下之惡魔,  汝不知其道。  譬如利刀害,  五欲亦如是,  譬如斬肉形,  苦受陰亦然。  如汝向所說,  服樂五欲者,  是則不可樂,  大恐怖之處。  離一切喜樂,  舍諸大闇冥,  以滅盡作證,  安住離諸漏。  覺知汝惡魔,  尋即自滅去。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「彼阿臘毗比丘尼已知我心。」愁憂不樂,即沒不現。

(一一九九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有蘇摩比丘尼,住舍衛國王園精舍比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著右肩上,至安陀林坐禪。

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。有蘇摩比丘尼,住舍衛國王園精舍比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食

現代漢語譯本:當時,魔波旬就說了偈語: 『世間沒有解脫之道,追求遠離又有何用, 還是享受五欲吧,不要等到以後後悔。』 當時,阿臘毗比丘尼心想:『是誰?想要恐嚇我。是人嗎?還是非人?是狡猾的人嗎?』 她心裡立刻想到:『這一定是惡魔想要擾亂我。』意識到這一點后,她說了偈語: 『世間有解脫之道,我自己知道已經得到了, 卑鄙的惡魔啊,你不知道其中的道理。 就像鋒利的刀會傷人一樣,五欲也是如此, 就像斬斷肉身一樣,苦受的陰影也是如此。 就像你剛才所說,享受五欲的人, 那是非常不可樂的,是充滿恐懼的地方。 我已經遠離一切喜樂,捨棄了所有的黑暗, 以滅盡煩惱作為證明,安住在沒有煩惱的狀態。 我已經覺察到你是惡魔,你立刻就會消失。』 當時,魔波旬心想:『那個阿臘毗比丘尼已經知道我的心思了。』他感到憂愁不樂,立刻消失不見了。 (一一九九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有位蘇摩比丘尼,住在舍衛國王園精舍的比丘尼僧團中,早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著坐具,搭在右肩上,到安陀林坐禪。 當時,魔波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。有位蘇摩比丘尼,住在舍衛國王園精舍的比丘尼僧團中,早上穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。

English version: Then, Mara the Evil One spoke these verses: 'There is no escape in the world, What is the use of seeking detachment? Still indulge in the five desires, Lest you regret it later.' Then, the nun Alavika thought: 'Who is this? Trying to frighten me. Is it a human? Or a non-human? A deceitful person?' Her mind immediately thought: 'This must be the Evil One trying to disturb me.' Realizing this, she spoke these verses: 'There is a way of escape in the world, I myself know that I have attained it, Vile Evil One, you do not know the path. Just as a sharp knife harms, So are the five desires, Just as cutting the flesh, So is the shadow of suffering. As you just said, Those who indulge in the five desires, That is not enjoyable, It is a place of great terror. I have abandoned all joy and pleasure, Forsaken all darkness, With the extinction of defilements as proof, I dwell free from all outflows. Having recognized you as the Evil One, You will immediately vanish.' Then, Mara the Evil One thought: 'That nun Alavika has known my mind.' He became sorrowful and unhappy, and immediately disappeared. (1199) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, there was a nun named Soma, dwelling among the community of nuns in the King's Park Monastery in Savatthi. In the morning, she dressed, took her bowl, and entered Savatthi to beg for alms. After eating, she returned to the monastery, put away her robes and bowl, washed her feet, took her sitting cloth, placed it on her right shoulder, and went to the Andha Grove to meditate. Then, Mara the Evil One thought: 'Now the ascetic Gotama is dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. There is a nun named Soma, dwelling among the community of nuns in the King's Park Monastery in Savatthi. In the morning, she dressed, took her bowl, and entered Savatthi to beg for alms.'


。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師檀,著右肩上,入安陀林坐禪。我今當往,為作留難。」即化作年少,容貌端正,往至蘇摩比丘尼所,問言:「阿姨!欲至何所?」

答言:「賢者!欲至遠離處去。」

時,魔波旬即說偈言:

「仙人所住處,  是處甚難得,  非彼二指智,  能得到彼處。」

時,蘇摩比丘尼作是念:「此是何等?欲恐怖我。為人?為非人?為奸狡人?」作此思惟已,決定智生,知是惡魔來欲嬈亂,即說偈言:

「心入于正受,  女形復何為,  智或若生已,  逮得無上法。  若於男女想,  心不得俱離,  彼即隨魔說,  汝應往語彼。  離於一切苦,  舍一切闇冥,  逮得滅盡證,  安住諸漏盡。  覺知汝惡魔,  即自磨滅去。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「蘇摩比丘尼已知我心。」內懷憂悔,即沒不現。

(一二〇〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有吉離舍瞿曇彌比丘尼,住舍衛國王園精舍比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,至舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著肩上,入安陀林,於一樹下結跏趺坐,入晝正受

現代漢語譯本:吃完飯後,回到精舍,拿起衣缽,洗完腳,拿著尼師壇,搭在右肩上,進入安陀林坐禪。心想:『我現在應當去,給她製造障礙。』隨即化作一個年輕人,容貌端正,前往蘇摩比丘尼所在之處,問道:『阿姨!您想去哪裡?』 蘇摩比丘尼回答說:『賢者!我想去遠離喧囂的地方。』 當時,魔波旬就說了偈語:『仙人居住的地方,是很難到達的,不是憑藉你那膚淺的智慧,就能到達那裡的。』 當時,蘇摩比丘尼心想:『這是什麼東西?想恐嚇我。是人?還是非人?還是狡猾的人?』這樣思索之後,她生起了決定的智慧,知道這是惡魔來擾亂她,隨即說了偈語:『當心進入正定時,女人的形體又算什麼呢?智慧一旦生起,就能證得無上的佛法。如果還執著于男女之相,心就不能從中解脫,那就會隨魔的說法而動搖,你應該去對那些人說。我已經脫離了一切痛苦,捨棄了一切黑暗,證得了滅盡的境界,安住在諸漏已盡的狀態。我已經覺知你是惡魔,你應當自己消失離去。』 當時,魔波旬心想:『蘇摩比丘尼已經知道我的心思了。』內心感到憂愁後悔,隨即消失不見。 (一二〇〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有吉離舍瞿曇彌比丘尼,住在舍衛國王園精舍的比丘尼僧團中,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,到舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,拿起衣缽,洗完腳,拿著尼師壇,搭在肩上,進入安陀林,在一棵樹下結跏趺坐,進入白天的禪定。

English version: Having eaten, she returned to the monastery, took her robe and bowl, washed her feet, took the nisidana, placed it on her right shoulder, and entered the Andhavana to meditate. She thought, 'I should go now and create obstacles for her.' Then she transformed into a young man with a handsome appearance and went to where Bhikkhuni Soma was, asking, 'Aunt! Where do you wish to go?' Bhikkhuni Soma replied, 'Good sir! I wish to go to a secluded place.' Then, Mara Papiyan spoke this verse: 'The place where the sages dwell is very difficult to reach; it cannot be reached by your shallow wisdom.' Then, Bhikkhuni Soma thought, 'What is this? Trying to frighten me. Is it a human? Or a non-human? Or a deceitful person?' After thinking this, she developed decisive wisdom, knowing that it was an evil demon coming to disturb her, and she spoke this verse: 'When the mind enters into right concentration, what does the female form matter? Once wisdom arises, one can attain the unsurpassed Dharma. If one is still attached to the idea of male and female, the mind cannot be liberated from it, and one will be swayed by Mara's words; you should go and tell those people. I have escaped all suffering, abandoned all darkness, attained the cessation of suffering, and dwell in the state where all defilements are exhausted. I know you are an evil demon, you should vanish and leave.' Then, Mara Papiyan thought, 'Bhikkhuni Soma knows my mind.' Feeling sorrow and regret, he immediately disappeared. (1200) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, there was Bhikkhuni Kilisagotami, who was dwelling among the community of bhikkhunis in the King's Park monastery in Savatthi. In the morning, she dressed, took her bowl, and went to Savatthi to beg for alms. Having eaten, she returned to the monastery, took her robe and bowl, washed her feet, took the nisidana, placed it on her shoulder, entered the Andhavana, sat cross-legged under a tree, and entered into the daytime meditation.


時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。時,吉離舍瞿曇彌比丘尼住舍衛國王園精舍比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著肩上,入安陀林,於一樹下結跏趺坐,入晝正受。我今當往,為作留難。」即化作年少,容貌端正,往至吉離舍瞿曇彌比丘尼所,而說偈言:

「汝何喪其子,  涕泣憂愁貌,  獨坐于樹下,  何求于男子?」

時,吉離舍瞿曇彌比丘尼作是念:「為誰恐怖我?為人?為非人?為奸狡者?」如是思惟,生決定智:「惡魔波旬來嬈我耳。」即說偈言:

「無邊際諸子,  一切皆亡失,  此則男子邊,  已度男子表。  不惱不憂愁,  佛教作已作,  一切離愛苦,  舍一切闇冥。  已滅盡作證,  安隱盡諸漏,  已知汝弊魔,  於此自滅去。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「吉離舍瞿曇彌比丘尼已知我心。」愁憂苦惱,即沒不現。

(一二〇一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有優缽羅色比丘尼,住舍衛國王園比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食

現代漢語譯本:當時,魔王波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。』當時,吉離舍瞿曇彌比丘尼住在舍衛國王園精舍的比丘尼僧團中,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著坐具,搭在肩上,進入安陀林,在一棵樹下結跏趺坐,進入午間禪定。『我現在應當前去,給她製造障礙。』隨即化作一個容貌端正的少年,來到吉離舍瞿曇彌比丘尼所在的地方,並說偈語道: 『你為何失去了孩子, 哭泣著,面容憂愁, 獨自坐在樹下, 向男人尋求什麼?』 當時,吉離舍瞿曇彌比丘尼心想:『是誰在恐嚇我?是人?還是非人?還是奸詐狡猾的人?』這樣思索后,生起了決定的智慧:『是惡魔波旬來騷擾我。』隨即說偈語道: 『我無邊無際的孩子, 全都已經亡失, 這與男人無關, 我已經超越了男人的界限。 我不煩惱,不憂愁, 佛陀的教誨我已經實踐, 一切都已遠離愛慾的痛苦, 捨棄了一切黑暗。 我已經滅盡煩惱,證得解脫, 安穩地斷盡了一切煩惱, 我已經知道你是惡魔, 你還是自己消失吧。』 當時,魔王波旬心想:『吉離舍瞿曇彌比丘尼已經知道我的心思。』他愁悶苦惱,隨即消失不見。 (一二〇一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有優缽羅色比丘尼,住在舍衛國王園的比丘尼僧團中,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。

English version: At that time, Mara Papiyas thought, 'Now the Shramana Gautama is dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.' At that time, the bhikkhuni Kisagotami was dwelling in the bhikkhuni community in the King's Park Monastery in Shravasti. In the morning, she dressed, took her bowl, and entered Shravasti to beg for alms. After eating, she returned to the monastery, put away her robes and bowl, washed her feet, took her sitting cloth, placed it on her shoulder, entered the Andha forest, sat cross-legged under a tree, and entered the midday meditation. 'I should go now and create obstacles for her.' He then transformed himself into a handsome youth and went to where the bhikkhuni Kisagotami was, and spoke these verses: 'Why do you mourn for your lost child, With tears and a sorrowful face, Sitting alone under a tree, What do you seek from a man?' At that time, the bhikkhuni Kisagotami thought, 'Who is frightening me? Is it a human? A non-human? Or a deceitful one?' After thinking this, she gained certain knowledge: 'It is Mara Papiyas who has come to harass me.' She then spoke these verses: 'My boundless children, All have perished, This is unrelated to men, I have transcended the realm of men. I am neither troubled nor sorrowful, The Buddha's teachings I have practiced, All have departed from the suffering of desire, Having abandoned all darkness. I have extinguished all defilements, attained liberation, Peacefully ended all outflows, I know you are the evil Mara, Disappear from here yourself.' At that time, Mara Papiyas thought, 'The bhikkhuni Kisagotami knows my mind.' He was distressed and troubled, and immediately vanished. (1201) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there was the bhikkhuni Uppalavanna, dwelling in the bhikkhuni community in the King's Park Monastery in Shravasti. In the morning, she dressed, took her bowl, and entered Shravasti to beg for alms.


。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著肩上,入安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受。

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。優缽羅色比丘尼住舍衛國王園比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著肩上,入安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受。我今當往,為作留難。」即化作年少,容貌端正,至優缽羅色比丘尼所,而說偈言:

「妙華堅固樹,  依止其樹下,  獨一無等侶,  不畏惡人耶?」

時,優缽羅色比丘尼作是念:「為何等人?欲恐怖我?為是人?為非人?為奸狡人?」如是思惟,即得覺知:「必是惡魔波旬欲亂我耳。」即說偈言:

「設使有百千,  皆是奸狡人,  如汝等惡魔,  來至我所者,  不能動毛髮,  不畏汝惡魔。」

魔復說偈言:

「我今入汝腹,  住于內藏中,  或住兩眉間,  汝不能見我。」

時,優缽羅色比丘尼復說偈言:

「我心有大力,  善修習神通,  大縛已解脫,  不畏汝惡魔。  我已吐三垢,  恐怖之根本,  住于不恐地,  不畏於魔軍。  於一切愛喜,  離一切闇冥,  已證於寂滅,  安住諸漏盡

現代漢語譯本:吃完飯後,她回到精舍,拿起衣缽,洗完腳,拿著尼師壇,搭在肩上,進入安陀林,坐在一棵樹下,進入午間禪定。 當時,魔王波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。優缽羅色比丘尼住在舍衛國王園的比丘尼僧團中,早上穿好衣服拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,她回到精舍,拿起衣缽,洗完腳,拿著尼師壇,搭在肩上,進入安陀林,坐在一棵樹下,進入午間禪定。我現在應當前去,給她製造障礙。』於是他化作一個容貌端正的少年,來到優缽羅色比丘尼那裡,並說偈語: 『美麗的鮮花在堅固的樹上,你依靠著樹下,獨自一人沒有同伴,難道不怕壞人嗎?』 當時,優缽羅色比丘尼心想:『這是什麼人?想要恐嚇我?是人?還是非人?還是狡猾的人?』這樣思索后,她立刻覺察到:『一定是惡魔波旬想要擾亂我。』於是她也說偈語: 『即使有成百上千,都是狡猾的人,像你這樣的惡魔,來到我這裡,也不能動我一根毫毛,我不怕你這個惡魔。』 魔王又說偈語: 『我現在進入你的腹中,住在你的內臟里,或者住在你的兩眉之間,你都不能看見我。』 當時,優缽羅色比丘尼又說偈語: 『我的心有強大的力量,善於修習神通,我已經解脫了大束縛,不怕你這個惡魔。 我已經吐出了三垢,那是恐怖的根源,我住在無所畏懼之地,不怕魔軍。 對於一切愛慾和喜悅,我已經遠離了一切黑暗,已經證得了寂滅,安住在諸漏已盡的狀態。』

English version: Having eaten, she returned to the monastery, picked up her robe and bowl, washed her feet, took her sitting cloth, placed it on her shoulder, entered the Andha forest, sat under a tree, and entered her midday meditation. At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'Now the Shramana Gautama is dwelling in Jeta Grove in Sravasti. The Bhikkhuni Utpalavarna is dwelling among the Bhikkhuni Sangha in the King's Garden in Sravasti. In the morning, she puts on her robes, takes her bowl, and enters Sravasti to beg for alms. Having eaten, she returns to the monastery, picks up her robe and bowl, washes her feet, takes her sitting cloth, places it on her shoulder, enters the Andha forest, sits under a tree, and enters her midday meditation. I should go now and create obstacles for her.' He then transformed himself into a handsome youth and went to where Bhikkhuni Utpalavarna was, and spoke these verses: 'Beautiful flowers on a strong tree, you rely on the tree below, alone without a companion, are you not afraid of evil people?' At that time, Bhikkhuni Utpalavarna thought: 'Who is this person? Trying to frighten me? Is it a human? Or a non-human? Or a cunning person?' After thinking this, she immediately realized: 'It must be the evil Mara Papiyas trying to disturb me.' So she spoke these verses: 'Even if there were hundreds and thousands, all cunning people, like you evil Mara, coming to me, they cannot move a single hair on my body, I am not afraid of you, evil Mara.' Mara then spoke these verses: 'I will now enter your belly, dwell in your internal organs, or dwell between your eyebrows, and you will not be able to see me.' At that time, Bhikkhuni Utpalavarna spoke these verses: 'My mind has great power, I am skilled in practicing supernormal powers, I have already been released from great bondage, I am not afraid of you, evil Mara. I have already expelled the three defilements, which are the root of fear, I dwell in a place of no fear, I am not afraid of the army of Mara. From all love and joy, I have departed from all darkness, I have already attained Nirvana, and I dwell in the state where all outflows are exhausted.'


。  覺知汝惡魔,  自當消滅去。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「優缽羅色比丘尼已知我心。」內懷憂愁,即沒不現。

(一二〇二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,尸羅比丘尼住舍衛國王園比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著肩上,入安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受。

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。尸羅比丘尼住舍衛國王園精舍比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著肩上,入安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受。我今當往,為作留難。」即化作年少,容貌端正,往到尸羅比丘尼前而說偈言:

「眾生云何生?  誰為其作者?  眾生何處起,  去復至何所?」

尸羅比丘尼作是念:「此是何人?欲恐怖我。為人?為非人?為奸狡人?」作是思惟已,即生知覺:「此是惡魔欲作留難。」即說偈言:

「汝謂有眾生,  此則惡魔見,  唯有空陰聚,  無是眾生者。  如和合眾材,  世名之為車,  諸陰因緣合,  假名為眾生

現代漢語譯本 『覺察到你是惡魔,自然會自行消滅。』 當時,魔波旬心想:『優缽羅色比丘尼已經知道我的心思了。』內心憂愁,隨即消失不見。

(一二〇二)

我聽到是這樣: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尸羅比丘尼住在舍衛國王園的比丘尼僧團中,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著坐具,搭在肩上,進入安陀林,坐在一棵樹下,進入午間禪定。 當時,魔波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。尸羅比丘尼住在舍衛國王園精舍的比丘尼僧團中,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著坐具,搭在肩上,進入安陀林,坐在一棵樹下,進入午間禪定。我現在應當前去,給她製造障礙。』隨即化作一個容貌端正的少年,來到尸羅比丘尼面前,說偈語道: 『眾生是如何產生的?誰是創造者?眾生從哪裡開始,又將去往何處?』 尸羅比丘尼心想:『這是什麼人?想要恐嚇我。是人?還是非人?還是奸詐之人?』這樣思索后,立刻覺察到:『這是惡魔想要製造障礙。』隨即說偈語道: 『你認為有眾生,這是惡魔的見解,只有空虛的五蘊聚合,沒有所謂的眾生。如同各種材料組合在一起,世俗稱之為車,各種五蘊因緣和合,假名為眾生。』

English version 'Knowing you are a demon, you will naturally vanish.' At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'The Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna already knows my thoughts.' With inner sorrow, he immediately disappeared.

(1202)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the Bhikkhuni Sila was dwelling among the community of bhikkhunis in the King's Park in Savatthi. In the morning, having dressed and taken her bowl, she entered Savatthi to beg for alms. Having eaten, she returned to the monastery, put away her robe and bowl, washed her feet, took her sitting mat, placed it on her shoulder, entered the Andha forest, sat under a tree, and entered the midday meditation. At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'Now the ascetic Gotama is dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. The Bhikkhuni Sila is dwelling among the community of bhikkhunis in the King's Park in Savatthi. In the morning, having dressed and taken her bowl, she entered Savatthi to beg for alms. Having eaten, she returned to the monastery, put away her robe and bowl, washed her feet, took her sitting mat, placed it on her shoulder, entered the Andha forest, sat under a tree, and entered the midday meditation. I should go now and create an obstacle for her.' He then transformed himself into a handsome youth and went to the Bhikkhuni Sila and spoke these verses: 'How are beings born? Who is their maker? Where do beings arise, and where do they go?' The Bhikkhuni Sila thought: 'Who is this? Trying to frighten me. Is it a human? Or a non-human? Or a deceitful person?' Having thought this, she immediately realized: 'This is a demon trying to create an obstacle.' She then spoke these verses: 'Your view that there are beings is the view of a demon. There is only a gathering of empty aggregates, there is no such thing as a being. Just as various materials are combined, and the world calls it a cart, so too, when the aggregates come together due to conditions, it is falsely called a being.'


。  其生則苦生,  住亦即苦住,  無餘法生苦,  苦生苦自滅。  舍一切愛苦,  離一切闇冥,  已證於寂滅,  安住諸漏盡。  已知汝惡魔,  則自消滅去。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「尸羅比丘尼已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一二〇三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,毗羅比丘尼住舍衛國王園比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著肩上,入安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受。

「云何作此形?  誰為其作者?  此形何處起?  形去至何所?」

毗羅比丘尼作是念:「是何人來恐怖我?為人?為非人?為奸狡人?」如是思惟,即得知覺:「惡魔波旬欲作嬈亂。」即說偈言:

「此形不自造,  亦非他所作,  因緣會而生,  緣散即磨滅

現代漢語譯本:其出生即是苦的開始,存在也即是苦的持續,沒有其他法能產生苦,苦的產生也伴隨著苦的自行消滅。捨棄一切愛慾的苦,遠離一切黑暗的矇蔽,已經證悟了寂滅的境界,安住在諸煩惱都已斷盡的狀態。我已經知道你是惡魔,所以你自己消失吧。 當時,魔王波旬心想:『尸羅比丘尼已經知道我的心思了。』內心充滿憂愁,隨即消失不見。 (一二〇三) 如是我所聽聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,毗羅比丘尼住在舍衛國王園的比丘尼僧團中,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著坐具,搭在肩上,進入安陀林,坐在一棵樹下,進入午間禪定。 當時,魔王波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。毗羅比丘尼住在舍衛國王園的比丘尼僧團中,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著坐具,搭在肩上,進入安陀林,坐在一棵樹下,進入午間禪定。我應當去那裡,給她製造障礙。』隨即化作一個年輕人,容貌端正,來到毗羅比丘尼所在的地方,並說偈語: 『你這形體是如何形成的?是誰創造了它?這形體從何處產生?又將去往何處?』 毗羅比丘尼心想:『這是什麼人來恐嚇我?是人?還是非人?還是狡猾的人?』這樣思索之後,她立刻察覺到:『是惡魔波旬想要來擾亂我。』隨即說偈語: 『這形體不是自己創造的,也不是他人所造,是因緣聚合而生,因緣離散就會消滅。』

English version: Its birth is the beginning of suffering, and its existence is the continuation of suffering. There is no other way for suffering to arise; the arising of suffering is accompanied by its own extinction. Abandon all suffering of desire, depart from all darkness and ignorance, having already realized the state of tranquility, dwelling in the state where all defilements are exhausted. I already know that you are a demon, so disappear yourself. Then, Mara Papiyas thought: 'The bhikkhuni Sila already knows my mind.' Filled with sorrow, he immediately vanished. (1203) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the bhikkhuni Vira was dwelling in the bhikkhuni community of the King's Park in Savatthi. In the morning, having dressed and taken her bowl, she entered Savatthi to beg for alms. Having eaten, she returned to the monastery, put away her bowl and robes, washed her feet, took her sitting mat, placed it on her shoulder, entered the Andha Grove, sat under a tree, and entered the midday meditation. Then, Mara Papiyas thought: 'Now the ascetic Gotama is dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. The bhikkhuni Vira is dwelling in the bhikkhuni community of the King's Park in Savatthi. In the morning, having dressed and taken her bowl, she entered Savatthi to beg for alms. Having eaten, she returned to the monastery, put away her bowl and robes, washed her feet, took her sitting mat, placed it on her shoulder, entered the Andha Grove, sat under a tree, and entered the midday meditation. I should go there and create obstacles for her.' He then transformed himself into a young man, handsome in appearance, and went to where the bhikkhuni Vira was and spoke these verses: 'How is this form made? Who is its maker? Where does this form arise from? And where does it go?' The bhikkhuni Vira thought: 'Who is this coming to frighten me? Is it a human? Or a non-human? Or a deceitful person?' Having thought thus, she immediately realized: 'It is Mara Papiyas who wants to disturb me.' She then spoke these verses: 'This form is not self-made, nor is it made by another. It arises from the convergence of conditions, and it ceases when the conditions disperse.'


。  如世諸種子,  因大地而生,  因地水火風,  陰界入亦然。  因緣和合生,  緣離則磨滅,  舍一切愛苦,  離一切闇冥。  已證於寂滅,  安住諸漏盡,  惡魔以知汝,  即自磨滅去。」

(一二〇四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有毗阇耶比丘尼,住舍衛國王園比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著肩上,入安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受。

時,魔波旬作是念:「此沙門瞿曇住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。弟子毗阇耶比丘尼住舍衛國王園比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著肩上,入安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受。我今當往,為作留難。」即化作年少,容貌端正,往至其前而說偈言:

「汝今年幼少,  我亦是年少,  當共於此處,  作五種音樂。  而共相娛樂,  用是禪思為。」

時,毗阇耶比丘尼作是念:「此何等人?欲恐怖我。為是人耶?為非人耶?為奸狡人耶?」如是思惟已,即得知覺:「是魔波旬欲作嬈亂

現代漢語譯本: 『如同世間各種種子,都因大地而生長,也因地、水、火、風這四大元素,以及陰界和諸入而生。因緣和合而生,緣分離散則消磨滅亡。捨棄一切愛慾和痛苦,遠離一切黑暗和矇昧。已經證得寂滅的境界,安住在諸漏都已斷盡的狀態。惡魔已經知道你,就會自行消磨滅去。』 當時,魔波旬心想:『毗羅比丘尼已經知道我的心思。』感到非常憂愁,隨即消失不見。

(一二〇四)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有位名叫毗阇耶的比丘尼,住在舍衛國王園的比丘尼僧團中。她早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著坐具,搭在肩上,進入安陀林,在一棵樹下坐著,進入午間禪定。

當時,魔波旬心想:『這位沙門瞿曇住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。他的弟子毗阇耶比丘尼住在舍衛國王園的比丘尼僧團中,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著坐具,搭在肩上,進入安陀林,在一棵樹下坐著,進入午間禪定。我現在應當前去,給她製造障礙。』於是就化作一個容貌端正的年輕人,來到她面前,並說偈語:

『你今年還很年輕,我也正值年少,我們應當在這裡,一同演奏五種樂器,一起互相娛樂,又何必執著于禪思呢?』

當時,毗阇耶比丘尼心想:『這個人是誰?想要恐嚇我。是人呢?還是非人呢?還是奸詐狡猾的人呢?』這樣思索之後,她立刻覺察到:『這是魔波旬想要來擾亂我。』

English version: 'Just as all seeds in the world grow because of the earth, and also because of the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, as well as the realms of the senses and their objects. They arise from the combination of causes and conditions, and when those conditions separate, they perish. Abandon all craving and suffering, and be free from all darkness and ignorance. Having attained the state of extinction, abide in the state where all outflows are exhausted. The evil one, having known you, will then vanish by himself.' At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'The Bhikkhuni Vira has already known my mind.' He felt great sorrow and immediately disappeared.

(1204)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

At that time, there was a Bhikkhuni named Vijaya, who was dwelling in the Bhikkhuni community of the King's Park in Savatthi. In the morning, she dressed, took her bowl, and entered Savatthi to beg for alms. After eating, she returned to the monastery, put away her robes and bowl, washed her feet, took her sitting mat, placed it on her shoulder, entered the Andha Grove, sat under a tree, and entered into the midday meditation.

At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'This Samana Gotama is dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. His disciple, the Bhikkhuni Vijaya, is dwelling in the Bhikkhuni community of the King's Park in Savatthi. In the morning, she dresses, takes her bowl, and enters Savatthi to beg for alms. After eating, she returns to the monastery, puts away her robes and bowl, washes her feet, takes her sitting mat, places it on her shoulder, enters the Andha Grove, sits under a tree, and enters into the midday meditation. I should go now and create obstacles for her.' He then transformed himself into a handsome young man, went before her, and spoke these verses:

'You are still young this year, and I am also young, we should be here together, playing five kinds of music. Let us enjoy ourselves together, why bother with meditation?'

At that time, the Bhikkhuni Vijaya thought: 'Who is this person? Trying to frighten me. Is he a human? Or a non-human? Or a deceitful person?' After thinking this, she immediately realized: 'This is Mara Papiyas, wanting to disturb me.'


。」即說偈言:

「歌舞作眾伎,  種種相娛樂,  今悉已惠汝,  非我之所須。  若寂滅正受,  及天人五欲,  一切持相與,  亦非我所須。  舍一切喜歡,  離一切闇冥,  寂滅以作證,  安住諸漏盡。  已知汝惡魔,  當自消滅去。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「是毗阇耶比丘尼已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一二〇五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,遮羅比丘尼住舍衛國王園比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著肩上,至安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受。

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。遮羅比丘尼亦住舍衛國王園比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,洗足畢,舉衣缽,持尼師壇,著肩上,入安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受。我今當往,為作留難。」化作年少,容貌端正,至遮羅比丘尼前而說偈言:

「覺受生為樂,  生服受五欲,  為誰教受汝,  令厭離於生。」

時,遮羅比丘尼作是念:「此是何人?欲作恐怖?為人?為非人?為奸狡人?而來至此,欲作嬈亂

於是,她說了偈語: 『歌舞等各種技藝,種種娛樂享受,現在都已施捨給你,這些不是我所需要的。 如果說寂滅的正定,以及天人的五種慾望,一切都拿來給我,也不是我所需要的。 我捨棄一切的歡喜,遠離一切的黑暗,以寂滅作為證悟,安住在諸漏已盡的狀態。 我已經知道你是惡魔,你應該自己消失離去。』 當時,魔波旬心想:『這位毗阇耶比丘尼已經知道我的心思了。』內心憂愁,隨即消失不見。

(一二〇五)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,遮羅比丘尼住在舍衛國王園的比丘尼僧團中,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著坐具,搭在肩上,來到安陀林,坐在一棵樹下,進入午間禪定。

當時,魔波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。遮羅比丘尼也住在舍衛國王園的比丘尼僧團中,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,洗完腳,收好衣缽,拿著坐具,搭在肩上,進入安陀林,坐在一棵樹下,進入午間禪定。我現在應當前去,給她製造障礙。』於是化作一個年輕男子,容貌端正,來到遮羅比丘尼面前,說了偈語: 『感受的產生是快樂的,享受五欲是快樂的,是誰教導你,讓你厭離生命的?』 當時,遮羅比丘尼心想:『這是什麼人?想要製造恐怖?是人?還是非人?還是奸詐狡猾的人?來到這裡,想要擾亂我?』

Then, she spoke in verse: 'Singing, dancing, and various arts, all kinds of entertainment, now I have given them all to you; these are not what I need. If the peace of cessation, and the five desires of gods and humans, were all given to me, they are also not what I need. I have abandoned all joy, departed from all darkness, with cessation as my realization, abiding in the state where all outflows are exhausted. I already know you are a demon, you should vanish and leave on your own.' At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'This Bhikkhuni Vijaya already knows my thoughts.' With inner sorrow, he immediately disappeared.

(1205)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

At that time, Bhikkhuni Cala was staying in the Bhikkhuni community in the King's Park in Savatthi. In the morning, she dressed, took her bowl, and entered Savatthi to beg for food. After eating, she returned to the monastery, put away her robes and bowl, washed her feet, took her sitting mat, placed it on her shoulder, went to the Andha Forest, sat under a tree, and entered the midday meditation.

At that time, Mara Papiyas thought: 'Now, the ascetic Gotama is staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Bhikkhuni Cala is also staying in the Bhikkhuni community in the King's Park in Savatthi. In the morning, she dressed, took her bowl, and entered Savatthi to beg for food. After eating, she returned to the monastery, washed her feet, put away her robes and bowl, took her sitting mat, placed it on her shoulder, went to the Andha Forest, sat under a tree, and entered the midday meditation. I should go now and create obstacles for her.' Then, he transformed into a young man, with a handsome appearance, and came before Bhikkhuni Cala and spoke in verse: 'The arising of feelings is pleasure, the enjoyment of the five desires is pleasure, who taught you to be disgusted with life?' At that time, Bhikkhuni Cala thought: 'Who is this person? Trying to create fear? Is it a human? Or a non-human? Or a deceitful person? Coming here, trying to disturb me?'


。」即說偈言:

「生者必有死,  生則受諸苦,  鞭打諸惱苦,  一切緣生有。  當斷一切苦,  超越一切生,  慧眼觀聖諦,  牟尼所說法。  苦苦及苦集,  滅盡離諸苦,  修習八正道,  安隱趣涅槃。  大師平等法,  我欣樂彼法,  我知彼法故,  不復樂受生。  一切離愛喜,  舍一切闇冥,  寂滅以作證,  安住諸漏盡。  覺知汝惡魔,  自當消滅去。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「遮羅比丘尼已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一二〇六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,優波遮羅比丘尼亦住舍衛國王園比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著肩上,入安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受。

時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。優波遮羅比丘尼亦住舍衛國王園比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著肩上,入安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受。我今當往,為作留難

現代漢語譯本: 於是,她說了這樣的偈語:

'生者必然有死, 出生就承受各種痛苦, 鞭打和各種煩惱的痛苦, 一切都是因緣而生。 應當斷除一切痛苦, 超越一切的生, 用智慧之眼觀察聖諦, 這是牟尼所說的法。 苦、苦的根源, 滅盡痛苦,遠離一切苦, 修習八正道, 安穩地趨向涅槃。 大師所說的平等之法, 我欣然樂於此法, 因為我瞭解此法, 不再樂於受生。 一切都遠離愛慾和喜悅, 捨棄一切黑暗, 以寂滅作為證明, 安住于諸漏已盡的狀態。 我覺知你的惡魔本質, 你自當消滅離去。'

English version: Then, she spoke these verses:

'Those who are born must die, Birth brings all kinds of suffering, The pain of beatings and all kinds of afflictions, Everything arises from conditions. One should cut off all suffering, Transcend all birth, Observe the noble truths with the eye of wisdom, This is the Dharma taught by Muni. Suffering, the origin of suffering, The cessation of suffering, freedom from all suffering, Practicing the Noble Eightfold Path, Peacefully approaching Nirvana. The Master's Dharma of equality, I rejoice in this Dharma, Because I understand this Dharma, I no longer desire to be reborn. All are free from love and joy, Abandon all darkness, With tranquility as proof, Dwelling in the state of all outflows exhausted. I am aware of your demonic nature, You should vanish and disappear.'

At that time, Mara Papiyan thought: 'The Bhikkhuni Cela has already known my mind.' With inner sorrow, he immediately disappeared.

(1206)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi.

At that time, the Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna was also dwelling in the Bhikkhuni community in the King's Park in Savatthi. In the morning, she dressed, took her bowl, and entered Savatthi to beg for alms.

。」即化作年少,容貌端正,至優波遮羅比丘尼所而說偈言:

「三十三天上,  炎魔兜率陀,  化樂他自在,  發願得往生。」

優波遮羅比丘尼作是念:「此何等人?欲恐怖我?為人?為非人?為是奸狡人?」自思覺悟:「必是惡魔欲作嬈亂。」而說偈言:

「三十三天上,  炎魔兜率陀,  化樂他自在,  斯等諸天上。  不離有為行,  故隨魔自在,  一切諸世間,  悉是眾行聚。  一切諸世間,  悉皆動搖法,  一切諸世間,  苦火常熾然。  一切諸世間,  悉皆煙塵起,  不動亦不搖,  不習近凡夫。  不隨於魔趣,  於是處娛樂,  離一切愛苦,  舍一切闇冥。  寂滅以作證,  安住諸漏盡,  已覺汝惡魔,  則自磨滅去。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「優波遮羅比丘尼已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一二〇七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,尸利沙遮羅比丘尼亦住舍衛國王園比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著肩上,入安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受

現代漢語譯本 於是,他化作一個年輕人,容貌端正,來到優波遮羅比丘尼那裡,並說偈語: 『在三十三天之上,有炎魔天、兜率天, 有化樂天、他自在天,發願可以往生到那裡。』 優波遮羅比丘尼心想:『這是什麼人?想恐嚇我嗎?是人?還是非人?還是奸詐狡猾的人?』她自己思考覺悟到:『一定是惡魔想來擾亂我。』於是也說偈語: 『在三十三天之上,有炎魔天、兜率天, 有化樂天、他自在天,這些天界。 都不能脫離有為的修行,所以會隨著魔的自在而轉, 一切世間,都是各種行為的聚集。 一切世間,都是動搖不定的法則, 一切世間,都像苦火一樣常常燃燒。 一切世間,都像煙塵一樣升起, 不為所動,也不搖擺,不與凡夫俗子親近。 不隨從魔的趣味,在那裡享受快樂, 遠離一切愛慾的痛苦,捨棄一切黑暗。 以寂滅作為證明,安住在諸漏已盡的狀態, 已經覺察到你這個惡魔,就自己消失吧。』 當時,魔波旬心想:『優波遮羅比丘尼已經知道我的心思了。』內心感到憂愁,就立刻消失不見了。 (一二〇七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尸利沙遮羅比丘尼也住在舍衛國王園的比丘尼僧團中,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著尼師壇,搭在肩上,進入安陀林,坐在一棵樹下,進入白天的禪定。

English version Then, he transformed himself into a young man, with a handsome appearance, and went to the bhikkhuni Uppalavanna, and spoke these verses: 'In the Thirty-three Heavens, there are the Yama Heaven, the Tusita Heaven, The Nimmanarati Heaven, and the Paranimmitavasavatti Heaven; one may aspire to be reborn there.' The bhikkhuni Uppalavanna thought: 'Who is this? Does he want to frighten me? Is he a human? Or a non-human? Or a deceitful person?' She reflected and realized: 'It must be a demon trying to disturb me.' So she spoke these verses: 'In the Thirty-three Heavens, there are the Yama Heaven, the Tusita Heaven, The Nimmanarati Heaven, and the Paranimmitavasavatti Heaven; these heavens. They cannot escape conditioned existence, and thus follow the demon's will, All the worlds are a collection of various actions. All the worlds are subject to the law of impermanence, All the worlds are like a fire of suffering, constantly burning. All the worlds are like smoke and dust rising, Unmoved and unshaken, not associating with ordinary people. Not following the demon's desires, enjoying pleasure there, Free from all the pain of desire, abandoning all darkness. Having realized cessation as proof, abiding in the state of the destruction of all defilements, Having recognized you, evil demon, disappear by yourself.' Then, Mara Papiyan thought: 'The bhikkhuni Uppalavanna knows my mind.' Feeling sorrowful, he immediately vanished. (1207) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the bhikkhuni Sirisacala was also staying in the bhikkhuni community in the King's Park in Savatthi. In the morning, she dressed, took her bowl, and entered Savatthi to beg for alms. After eating, she returned to the monastery, put away her robes and bowl, washed her feet, took her sitting cloth, placed it on her shoulder, entered the Andha Forest, sat under a tree, and entered into the meditation of the day.


時,魔波旬作是念:「今沙門瞿曇住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。時,尸利沙遮羅比丘尼亦住舍衛國王園比丘尼眾中,晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,食已,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足畢,持尼師壇,著肩上,入安陀林,坐一樹下,入晝正受。我當往彼,為作留難。」化作年少,容貌端正,往到尸利沙遮羅比丘尼所而作是言:「阿姨!汝樂何等諸道?」

比丘尼答言:「我都無所樂!」

時,魔波旬即說偈言:

「汝何所咨受,  剃頭作沙門?  身著袈裟衣,  而作出家相,  不樂於諸道,  而守愚癡住。」

時,尸利沙遮羅比丘尼作是念:「此何等人?欲恐怖我。為人?為非人?為奸狡人?」如是思惟已,即自知覺:「惡魔波旬欲作嬈亂。」即說偈言:

「此法外諸道,  諸見所纏縛,  縛于諸見已,  常隨魔自在。  若生釋種家,  稟無比大師,  能伏諸魔怨,  不為彼所伏。  清凈一切脫,  道眼普觀察,  一切智悉知,  最勝離諸漏。  彼則我大師,  我唯樂彼法,  我入彼法已,  得遠離寂滅。  離一切愛喜,  舍一切闇冥,  寂滅以作證,  安住諸漏盡。  已知汝惡魔,  如是自滅去

現代漢語譯本:當時,魔王波旬心想:『現在沙門瞿曇住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。』當時,尸利沙遮羅比丘尼也住在舍衛國王園的比丘尼僧團中,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。吃完飯後,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳,拿著尼師壇,搭在肩上,進入安陀林,坐在一棵樹下,進入午間禪定。『我應當去那裡,給她製造障礙。』於是,他化作一個容貌端正的年輕人,來到尸利沙遮羅比丘尼那裡,說道:『阿姨!你喜歡哪種修行之道?』 比丘尼回答說:『我什麼都不喜歡!』 當時,魔王波旬就說了偈語: 『你為何接受教誨,剃頭做了沙門?身穿袈裟,做出家人的樣子,卻不喜歡任何修行之道,只是愚癡地待著。』 當時,尸利沙遮羅比丘尼心想:『這是什麼人?想要恐嚇我。是人?還是非人?還是狡猾的人?』這樣思考之後,她立刻意識到:『是惡魔波旬想要來擾亂我。』於是,她說了偈語: 『這些外道,被各種見解所束縛,被見解束縛后,常常隨魔自在。如果生在釋迦種姓之家,稟承無與倫比的大師教誨,就能降伏各種魔怨,不會被他們所降伏。清凈一切解脫,道眼普遍觀察,一切智慧都知曉,最殊勝地遠離各種煩惱。他就是我的大師,我只喜歡他的教法,我進入他的教法后,就能獲得遠離寂滅。遠離一切愛慾和喜好,捨棄一切黑暗,以寂滅作為證明,安住在煩惱都已斷盡的狀態。我已經知道你是惡魔,你還是自己消失吧!』

English version: At that time, Mara Papiyas thought, 『Now the Shramana Gautama is dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.』 At that time, the Bhikkhuni Sirisacchara was also dwelling in the Bhikkhuni community in the King's Park in Shravasti. In the morning, having dressed and taken her bowl, she entered Shravasti to beg for food. Having eaten, she returned to the monastery, put away her robes and bowl, washed her feet, took her sitting cloth, placed it on her shoulder, entered the Andha forest, sat under a tree, and entered the midday meditation. 『I should go there and create obstacles for her.』 Then, he transformed himself into a handsome young man and went to the Bhikkhuni Sirisacchara and said, 『Auntie! What kind of paths do you enjoy?』 The Bhikkhuni replied, 『I do not enjoy any!』 Then, Mara Papiyas spoke this verse: 『Why did you accept instruction, shave your head, and become a Shramana? Wearing the robes, taking on the appearance of a renunciate, yet not enjoying any paths, but remaining in foolishness.』 Then, the Bhikkhuni Sirisacchara thought, 『Who is this person? Trying to frighten me. Is it a human? Or a non-human? Or a deceitful person?』 Having thought thus, she immediately realized, 『It is Mara Papiyas, the evil one, trying to disturb me.』 Then, she spoke this verse: 『Those outside this Dharma, are bound by various views, having been bound by views, they always follow Mara's will. If born into the Shakya lineage, receiving instruction from the incomparable master, one can subdue all Mara's enemies, and not be subdued by them. Pure in all liberation, with the eye of Dharma observing everywhere, knowing all wisdom, most excellently free from all defilements. He is my master, I only enjoy his Dharma, having entered his Dharma, I can attain the peace of detachment. Free from all love and joy, abandoning all darkness, with peace as the proof, dwelling in the state where all defilements are extinguished. I already know you are the evil one, so you should disappear!』


。」

時,魔波旬作是念:「尸利沙遮羅比丘尼已知我心。」內懷憂戚,即沒不現。

(一二〇八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住瞻婆國揭伽池側。

爾時,世尊月十五日布薩時,于大眾前坐。月初出時。時,有尊者婆耆舍于大眾中,作是念:「我今欲于佛前嘆月譬偈。」作是念已,即從坐起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛言:「世尊!欲有所說。善逝!欲有所說。」

佛告婆耆舍:「欲說者便說!」

時,尊者婆耆舍即于佛前而說偈言:

「如月停虛空,  明凈無雲翳,  光炎明暉曜,  普照於十方。  如來亦如是,  慧光照世間,  功德善名稱,  周遍滿十方。」

尊者婆耆舍說是偈時,諸比丘聞其所說,皆大歡喜。

(一二〇九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住瞻婆國揭伽池側。

爾時,尊者阿若憍陳如久住空閑阿練若處,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,以面掩佛足上,而說是言:「久不見世尊!久不見善逝!」

爾時,尊者婆耆舍在於會中,作是念:「我今當於尊者阿若憍陳如面前,以上座譬而讚歎之。」作此念已,即從坐起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛:「世尊!欲有所說。善逝!欲有所說

現代漢語譯本 當時,魔波旬心想:『尸利沙遮羅比丘尼已經知道我的心思了。』內心憂愁,隨即消失不見。

(一二〇八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在瞻婆國揭伽池邊。

那時,世尊在月圓十五日布薩時,于大眾前坐。正值月初升起之時。當時,有尊者婆耆舍在大眾中,心想:『我現在想在佛陀面前用月亮作比喻來讚頌。』這樣想后,他立即從座位起身,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛陀說:『世尊!我想說些話。善逝!我想說些話。』

佛陀告訴婆耆舍:『想說就說吧!』

當時,尊者婆耆舍就在佛陀面前說了偈語:

『如月停在虛空, 明亮清凈無雲遮, 光芒火焰明亮閃耀, 普照於十方。 如來也像這樣, 智慧之光照耀世間, 功德善名聲, 周遍充滿十方。』

尊者婆耆舍說完這偈語時,眾比丘聽了他所說,都非常歡喜。

(一二〇九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在瞻婆國揭伽池邊。

當時,尊者阿若憍陳如長期住在空閑的阿練若處,來到佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足,用臉貼在佛足上,說道:『很久沒見到世尊了!很久沒見到善逝了!』

當時,尊者婆耆舍在會眾中,心想:『我現在應當在尊者阿若憍陳如面前,用上座的譬喻來讚歎他。』這樣想后,他立即從座位起身,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛陀說:『世尊!我想說些話。善逝!我想說些話。』

English version Then, Mara Papiyas thought: 'The bhikkhuni Sirisacala already knows my mind.' With inner sorrow, he immediately disappeared.

(1208)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling near the Gaggara Pond in the country of Campa.

Then, on the fifteenth day of the month, during the Uposatha, the Blessed One was seated before the assembly. It was the time when the moon was rising. At that time, the venerable Vangisa, in the midst of the assembly, thought: 'I now wish to praise the Buddha with a simile of the moon.' Having thought this, he immediately rose from his seat, arranged his robe, paid homage to the Buddha, and with his palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, I wish to say something. O Blessed One, I wish to say something.'

The Buddha said to Vangisa: 'Say what you wish to say!'

Then, the venerable Vangisa, before the Buddha, spoke these verses:

'As the moon remains in the sky, Clear and bright without cloud cover, Its light and flames shine brightly, Illuminating the ten directions. So too is the Tathagata, Whose wisdom light illuminates the world, Whose merit and good name, Percolate and fill the ten directions.'

When the venerable Vangisa had spoken these verses, the bhikkhus, hearing what he had said, were all greatly delighted.

(1209)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling near the Gaggara Pond in the country of Campa.

Then, the venerable Ajnata Kondanna, having long dwelt in a secluded forest hermitage, came to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, placed his face on the Buddha's feet, and said: 'It has been long since I have seen the Blessed One! It has been long since I have seen the Well-Gone One!'

Then, the venerable Vangisa, in the midst of the assembly, thought: 'I should now praise the venerable Ajnata Kondanna before him, using the simile of a senior monk.' Having thought this, he immediately rose from his seat, arranged his robe, paid homage to the Buddha, and with his palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, I wish to say something. O Blessed One, I wish to say something.'


。」

佛告婆耆舍:「欲說時便說!」

時,尊者婆耆舍即說偈言:

「上座之上座,  尊者憍陳如,  已度已超越,  得安樂正受。  于阿練若處,  常樂於遠離,  聲聞之所應,  大師正法教。  一切悉皆陳,  正受不放逸,  大德力三明,  他心智明瞭。  上座憍陳如,  護持佛法財,  增上恭敬心,  頭面禮佛足。」

尊者婆耆舍說是語時,諸比丘聞其所說,皆大歡喜。

(一二一〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住瞻婆國揭伽池側。

時,尊者舍利弗在供養堂,有眾多比丘集會而為說法,句味滿足,辯才簡凈,易解樂聞,不閡不斷,深義顯現。彼諸比丘專至樂聽,尊重憶念,一心側聽。

時,尊者婆耆舍在於會中,作是念:「我當於尊者舍利弗面前說偈讚歎。」作是念已,即起,合掌白尊者舍利弗:「我欲有所說。」

舍利弗告言:「隨所樂說!」

尊者婆耆舍即說偈言:

「善能略說法,  令眾廣開解,  賢優婆提舍,  于大眾宣暢。  當所說法時,  咽喉出美聲,  悅樂愛念聲,  調和漸進聲。  聞聲皆欣樂,  專念不移轉

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴婆耆舍:『想說的時候就說吧!』 當時,尊者婆耆舍即說偈頌道: 『上座中的上座,尊者憍陳如,已經度脫,已經超越,獲得安樂的正受。 在阿蘭若處,常常喜歡遠離喧囂,這是聲聞弟子所應行的,是大師正法的教導。 一切都已陳述,正受而不放逸,大德具有三明之力,他心智明瞭。 上座憍陳如,護持佛法之財,以增上的恭敬心,頭面頂禮佛足。』 尊者婆耆舍說這些話時,眾比丘聽聞他所說的,都非常歡喜。 (一二一〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在瞻婆國揭伽池邊。 當時,尊者舍利弗在供養堂,有眾多比丘聚集在一起聽他說法,他的言辭句句精妙,辯才簡潔明凈,容易理解且樂於聽聞,沒有阻礙也沒有斷絕,深奧的道理顯現出來。那些比丘專心致志地樂於聽聞,尊重並憶念,一心側耳傾聽。 當時,尊者婆耆舍在會眾之中,心中想:『我應當在尊者舍利弗面前說偈讚歎。』這樣想后,他立即起身,合掌向尊者舍利弗稟告:『我想要說些話。』 舍利弗回答說:『隨你喜歡說吧!』 尊者婆耆舍即說偈頌道: 『善於簡略說法,使大眾廣泛開解,賢者優婆提舍,向大眾宣說暢達。 當說法的時候,咽喉發出美妙的聲音,令人喜悅愛念的聲音,調和漸進的聲音。 聽聞聲音都感到欣喜快樂,專心致志不轉移。'

English version The Buddha said to Vāgiśa, 'Speak when you wish to speak!' Then, the venerable Vāgiśa spoke these verses: 'The foremost among the elders, the venerable Koṇḍañña, has crossed over, has transcended, and has attained the bliss of right concentration. In the wilderness, he always delights in seclusion, which is what a disciple of the Śrāvakas should do, the teaching of the Master's true Dharma. Everything has been declared, practicing right concentration without negligence, the great virtuous one has the power of the three knowledges, and his mind-reading wisdom is clear. The elder Koṇḍañña, protects the wealth of the Buddha's Dharma, with utmost reverence, he bows his head to the Buddha's feet.' When the venerable Vāgiśa spoke these words, the monks who heard what he said were all very pleased. (1210) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying near the Gaggara Pond in the country of Campā. At that time, the venerable Śāriputra was in the refectory, and many monks were gathered together listening to him teach the Dharma. His words were exquisite, his eloquence was concise and clear, easy to understand and pleasant to hear, without hindrance or interruption, and profound meanings were revealed. Those monks were earnestly delighted to listen, respecting and remembering, listening attentively with one mind. At that time, the venerable Vāgiśa was in the assembly, and he thought: 'I should praise the venerable Śāriputra with verses.' Having thought this, he immediately rose, put his palms together, and said to the venerable Śāriputra: 'I wish to say something.' Śāriputra replied, 'Speak as you please!' The venerable Vāgiśa then spoke these verses: 'Skillfully able to teach the Dharma concisely, enabling the assembly to widely understand, the wise Upatiṣya, proclaims to the assembly fluently. When teaching the Dharma, his throat emits a beautiful sound, a sound that is pleasing and beloved, a harmonious and progressive sound. Hearing the sound, all are delighted and joyful, focused and unwavering.'


。」

尊者婆耆舍說此語時,諸比丘聞其所說,皆大歡喜。

(一二一一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城那伽山側,五百比丘俱,皆是阿羅漢,諸漏已盡,所作已作,離諸重擔,逮得己利,斷諸有結,正智心善解脫。

尊者大目揵連觀大眾心,一切皆悉解脫貪慾。時,尊者婆耆舍于大眾中,作是念:「我今當於世尊及比丘僧面前說偈讚歎。」作是念已,即從座起,整衣服,合掌白佛言:「世尊!欲有所說。善逝!欲有所說。」

佛告婆耆舍:「隨所樂說!」

時,尊者婆耆舍即說偈言:

「導師無上士,  住那伽山側,  五百比丘眾,  親奉于大師。  尊者大目連,  神通諦明瞭,  觀彼大眾心,  悉皆離貪慾。  如是具足度,  牟尼度彼岸,  持此最後身,  我今稽首禮。」

尊者婆耆舍說是語時,諸比丘聞其所說,皆大歡喜。

(一二一二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園夏安居,與大比丘眾五百人俱,皆是阿羅漢,諸漏已盡,所作已作,離諸重擔,斷除有結,正智心善解脫,除一比丘,謂尊者阿難,世尊記說彼現法當得無知證

現代漢語譯本 尊者婆耆舍說此話時,眾比丘聽了他說的話,都非常高興。

(一二一一)

我是這樣聽說的:

有一次,佛陀住在王舍城的那伽山旁,與五百位比丘在一起,他們都是阿羅漢,已經斷盡了煩惱,該做的都已做完,脫離了一切重負,獲得了自身的利益,斷除了所有束縛,以正智之心獲得了徹底的解脫。

尊者大目犍連觀察大眾的心,發現他們都已解脫了貪慾。當時,尊者婆耆舍在大眾中,心想:『我現在應當在世尊和比丘僧面前說偈讚歎。』這樣想后,他立即從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,合掌向佛陀稟告說:『世尊!我想說些話。善逝!我想說些話。』

佛陀告訴婆耆舍:『隨你喜歡說吧!』

當時,尊者婆耆舍就說了偈語:

『導師無上士, 住在那伽山旁, 五百比丘眾, 親近侍奉大師。 尊者大目連, 神通真實明瞭, 觀察大眾心, 全都已離貪慾。 如此具足度, 牟尼度過彼岸, 持此最後身, 我今稽首敬禮。』

尊者婆耆舍說這些話時,眾比丘聽了他說的話,都非常高興。

(一二一二)

我是這樣聽說的:

有一次,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園安居,與五百位大比丘在一起,他們都是阿羅漢,已經斷盡了煩惱,該做的都已做完,脫離了一切重負,斷除了所有束縛,以正智之心獲得了徹底的解脫,只有一位比丘除外,那就是尊者阿難,世尊曾預言他將在今生證得無知之證。

English version When the venerable Vāgiśa spoke these words, the monks, hearing what he said, were greatly delighted.

(1211)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling near Mount Nāga in Rājagaha, with five hundred monks, all of whom were arahants, their defilements exhausted, their tasks completed, their burdens laid down, having attained their own benefit, having severed the fetters of existence, and being liberated through right knowledge.

The venerable Mahā Moggallāna, observing the minds of the assembly, saw that all had been liberated from greed. Then, the venerable Vāgiśa, in the midst of the assembly, thought: 『Now I shall speak verses of praise before the Blessed One and the Sangha of monks.』 Having thought this, he rose from his seat, arranged his robe, and, with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 『Blessed One! I wish to say something. Well-gone One! I wish to say something.』

The Buddha said to Vāgiśa: 『Speak as you please!』

Then, the venerable Vāgiśa spoke these verses:

『The Guide, the unsurpassed one, dwells near Mount Nāga, A gathering of five hundred monks, attending upon the Master. The venerable Mahā Moggallāna, with clear and true psychic powers, Observing the minds of the assembly, all have been freed from greed. Thus, having fully crossed over, the Sage has crossed to the other shore, Holding this final body, I now bow my head in reverence.』

When the venerable Vāgiśa spoke these words, the monks, hearing what he said, were greatly delighted.

(1212)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rājagaha for the rains retreat, with a great assembly of five hundred monks, all of whom were arahants, their defilements exhausted, their tasks completed, their burdens laid down, having severed the fetters of existence, and being liberated through right knowledge, except for one monk, the venerable Ānanda, of whom the Blessed One had predicted that he would attain the realization of non-knowing in this very life.


爾時,世尊臨十五日月食受時,于大眾前敷座而坐,坐已,告諸比丘:「我為婆羅門,得般涅槃,持後邊身,為大醫師,拔諸劍刺。我為婆羅門,得般涅槃,持此後邊身,無上醫師,能拔劍刺。汝等為子,從我口生,從法化生,得法余財,當懷受我,莫令我若身、若口、若心有可嫌責事。」

爾時,尊者舍利弗在眾會中,從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛:「世尊曏者作如是言:『我為婆羅門,得般涅槃,持最後身,無上大醫,能拔劍刺。汝為我子,從佛口生,從法化生,得法余財。諸比丘!當懷受我,莫令我身、口、心有可嫌責。』我等不見世尊身、口、心有可嫌責事。所以者何?世尊不調伏者能令調伏,不寂靜者能令寂靜,不穌息者能令穌息,不般涅槃者能令般涅槃。如來知道,如來說道,如來向道,然後聲聞成就,隨道、宗道,奉受師教,如其教授,正向欣樂真如善法。

「我於世尊都不見有可嫌責身、口、心行。我今於世尊所,乞愿懷受見聞疑罪,若身、口、心有嫌責事。」

佛告舍利弗:「我不見汝有見聞疑身、口、心可嫌責事

現代漢語譯本:當時,世尊在十五日月食發生的時候,在大眾面前鋪設座位坐下。坐定后,他告訴眾比丘:『我作為婆羅門,將要進入涅槃,這是我最後一次的身體,我是一位偉大的醫師,能夠拔除各種劍刺。我作為婆羅門,將要進入涅槃,這是我最後一次的身體,我是無上的醫師,能夠拔除劍刺。你們是我的孩子,從我的口中出生,從佛法中化生,得到了佛法的剩餘財富,應當接受我,不要讓我身、口、心有任何可以被責備的地方。』 當時,尊者舍利弗在眾會中,從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛說:『世尊剛才說:『我作為婆羅門,將要進入涅槃,這是我最後一次的身體,我是無上的大醫師,能夠拔除劍刺。你們是我的孩子,從佛口中出生,從佛法中化生,得到了佛法的剩餘財富。諸位比丘!應當接受我,不要讓我身、口、心有任何可以被責備的地方。』我們沒有看到世尊的身、口、心有任何可以被責備的地方。這是為什麼呢?世尊能夠調伏那些沒有被調伏的人,能夠使那些不寂靜的人變得寂靜,能夠使那些沒有得到安息的人得到安息,能夠使那些沒有進入涅槃的人進入涅槃。如來知道道路,如來說明道路,如來指向道路,然後聲聞弟子們才能成就,跟隨道路、尊崇道路,奉行老師的教誨,按照老師的教導,正確地欣喜和樂於真如的善法。 『我對於世尊,完全沒有看到有任何可以被責備的身、口、心行為。我現在在世尊這裡,請求接受見聞的疑惑和罪過,如果身、口、心有任何可以被責備的地方。』 佛陀告訴舍利弗:『我沒有看到你身上有任何見聞的疑惑,或者身、口、心有任何可以被責備的地方。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One, on the occasion of the full moon eclipse, spread out a seat and sat down before the assembly. Having sat, he addressed the monks, saying: 'I, as a Brahmin, will attain Parinirvana, this being my last body. I am a great physician, able to extract all kinds of thorns. I, as a Brahmin, will attain Parinirvana, this being my last body. I am the supreme physician, able to extract thorns. You are my children, born from my mouth, transformed by the Dharma, having received the remaining wealth of the Dharma. You should accept me, and not let my body, speech, or mind have anything that can be criticized.' At that time, the Venerable Sariputra, in the assembly, rose from his seat, adjusted his robes, bowed to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, you just said: 『I, as a Brahmin, will attain Parinirvana, this being my last body. I am the supreme great physician, able to extract thorns. You are my children, born from the Buddha's mouth, transformed by the Dharma, having received the remaining wealth of the Dharma. Monks! You should accept me, and not let my body, speech, or mind have anything that can be criticized.』 We have not seen anything in the World Honored One's body, speech, or mind that can be criticized. Why is this? The World Honored One is able to tame those who are not tamed, able to make those who are not peaceful become peaceful, able to make those who have not found rest find rest, and able to lead those who have not attained Parinirvana to Parinirvana. The Tathagata knows the path, the Tathagata explains the path, the Tathagata points to the path, and then the disciples can achieve, follow the path, honor the path, uphold the teacher's teachings, and according to the teacher's instructions, correctly rejoice and delight in the true and good Dharma.' 'I have not seen any action of the World Honored One's body, speech, or mind that can be criticized. Now, before the World Honored One, I ask to accept any doubts or faults that may arise from what I have seen or heard, if there is anything in body, speech, or mind that can be criticized.' The Buddha said to Sariputra: 'I do not see in you any doubts from what you have seen or heard, or anything in your body, speech, or mind that can be criticized.'


。所以者何?汝舍利弗持戒多聞,少欲知足,修行遠離,精勤方便,正念正受,捷疾智慧、明利智慧、出要智慧、厭離智慧、大智慧、廣智慧、深智慧、無比智慧,智寶成就,示、教、照、喜,亦常讚歎示、教、照、喜,為眾說法,未曾疲倦。

「譬如轉輪聖王,第一長子應受灌頂而未灌頂,已住灌頂儀法,如父之法,所可轉者亦當隨轉。汝今如是,為我長子,鄰受灌頂而未灌頂,住于儀法,我所應轉法輪,汝亦隨轉,得無所起,盡諸有漏,心善解脫。如是,舍利弗!我于汝所,都無見聞疑身、口、心可嫌責事。」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!若我無有見聞疑身、口、心可嫌責事,此諸五百諸比丘得無有見聞疑身、口、心可嫌責事耶?」

佛告舍利弗:「我於此五百比丘亦不見有見聞疑身、口、心可嫌責事。所以者何?此五百比丘皆是阿羅漢,諸漏已盡,所作已作,已舍重擔,斷諸有結,正智心善解脫,除一比丘,謂尊者阿難,我記說彼于現法中得無知證。是故,諸五百比丘我不見其有身、口、心見聞疑罪可嫌責者

現代漢語譯本:這是為什麼呢?舍利弗,你持戒精嚴,博學多聞,少欲知足,修行遠離塵囂,精進勤勉,善巧方便,正念正受,擁有敏捷的智慧、明利的智慧、出離的智慧、厭離的智慧、廣大的智慧、深邃的智慧、無與倫比的智慧,成就了智慧的寶藏,你以開示、教導、照亮、歡喜來引導眾生,也常常讚歎開示、教導、照亮、歡喜,為大眾說法,從不感到疲倦。 現代漢語譯本:『譬如轉輪聖王,他的第一長子本應接受灌頂儀式卻尚未舉行,但已具備灌頂的資格和儀法,如同父親的法則一樣,父親所能轉動的,他也應當隨之轉動。你現在就像這樣,是我的長子,即將接受灌頂卻尚未舉行,已具備灌頂的資格和儀法,我所應轉的法輪,你也應當隨之轉動,達到無所執著,斷盡一切煩惱,心得到徹底的解脫。』舍利弗,我對於你,沒有任何見聞上的疑惑,也沒有任何身、口、意上的可責備之處。 現代漢語譯本:舍利弗對佛說:『世尊,如果我沒有任何見聞上的疑惑,也沒有任何身、口、意上的可責備之處,那麼這五百位比丘是否也沒有任何見聞上的疑惑,也沒有任何身、口、意上的可責備之處呢?』 現代漢語譯本:佛告訴舍利弗:『我對於這五百位比丘,也沒有看到他們有任何見聞上的疑惑,也沒有任何身、口、意上的可責備之處。這是為什麼呢?因為這五百位比丘都是阿羅漢,他們已經斷盡了一切煩惱,該做的都已經做完,已經捨棄了沉重的負擔,斷除了所有的束縛,以正智之心得到徹底的解脫,除了一個比丘,就是尊者阿難,我曾預言他將在現世中獲得無知證。因此,這五百位比丘,我沒有看到他們有任何身、口、意上的見聞疑惑或可責備之處。』

English version: Why is that so? Shariputra, you are disciplined, learned, have few desires, are content, practice detachment, are diligent and skillful, have right mindfulness and right reception, possess swift wisdom, clear wisdom, wisdom of deliverance, wisdom of detachment, great wisdom, vast wisdom, profound wisdom, incomparable wisdom, and have achieved the treasure of wisdom. You guide beings through instruction, teaching, illumination, and joy, and you also constantly praise instruction, teaching, illumination, and joy. You preach the Dharma to the masses without ever tiring. English version: 'It is like a Chakravartin king, whose eldest son should receive the consecration but has not yet received it, yet he possesses the qualifications and rituals for consecration. Like the father's law, what the father can turn, he should also follow and turn. You are now like this, my eldest son, about to receive consecration but not yet consecrated, possessing the qualifications and rituals. The Dharma wheel that I should turn, you should also follow and turn, achieving non-attachment, ending all defilements, and your mind attaining complete liberation.' Shariputra, regarding you, I have no doubts in what I have seen or heard, nor any fault to find in your body, speech, or mind. English version: Shariputra said to the Buddha, 'Venerable One, if I have no doubts in what I have seen or heard, nor any fault to find in my body, speech, or mind, then do these five hundred monks also have no doubts in what they have seen or heard, nor any fault to find in their body, speech, or mind?' English version: The Buddha told Shariputra, 'Regarding these five hundred monks, I also see no doubts in what they have seen or heard, nor any fault to find in their body, speech, or mind. Why is that? Because these five hundred monks are all Arhats, they have ended all defilements, done what needed to be done, cast off the heavy burden, broken all bonds, and with right wisdom, their minds have attained complete liberation, except for one monk, the Venerable Ananda, whom I have predicted will attain the knowledge of non-knowing in this very life. Therefore, among these five hundred monks, I see no one with any doubts or faults in body, speech, or mind.'


。」

舍利弗白佛言:「世尊!此五百比丘既無有見聞疑身、口、心可嫌責事,然此中幾比丘得三明?幾比丘俱解脫?幾比丘慧解脫?」

佛告舍利弗:「此五百比丘中,九十比丘得三明,九十比丘得俱解脫,餘者慧解脫。舍利弗!此諸比丘離諸飄轉,無有面板,真實堅固。」

時,尊者婆耆舍在眾會中,作是念:「我今當於世尊及大眾面前嘆說懷受偈。」作是念已,即從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,右膝著地,合掌白佛:「世尊!欲有所說。善逝!欲有所說。」

佛告婆耆舍:「隨所樂說!」

時,婆耆舍即說偈言:

「十五清凈日,  其眾五百人,  斷除一切結,  有盡大仙人。  清凈相習近,  清凈廣解脫,  不更受諸有,  生死已永絕。  所作者已作,  得一切漏盡,  五蓋已云除,  拔刺根本愛。  師子無所畏,  離一切有餘,  害諸有怨結,  超越有餘境。  諸有漏怨敵,  皆悉已潛伏,  猶如轉輪王,  懷受諸眷屬。  慈心廣宣化,  海內悉奉用,  能伏魔怨敵,  為無上導師。  信敬心奉事,  三明老死滅,  為法之真子,  無有飄轉患。  拔諸煩惱刺,  敬禮日種胤

現代漢語譯本 舍利弗對佛說:『世尊!這五百位比丘既然沒有在見聞、懷疑、身、口、心方面有可被責備的事情,那麼這其中有多少比丘證得了三明?有多少比丘證得了俱解脫?又有多少比丘證得了慧解脫?』 佛告訴舍利弗:『這五百位比丘中,有九十位比丘證得了三明,有九十位比丘證得了俱解脫,其餘的都證得了慧解脫。舍利弗!這些比丘都已脫離了漂泊不定,沒有了虛妄的表象,真實而堅固。』 當時,尊者婆耆舍在眾會中,心中想:『我現在應當在世尊和大眾面前讚歎並說出我心中的偈頌。』這樣想后,他立即從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛行禮,右膝跪地,合掌對佛說:『世尊!我想說些話。善逝!我想說些話。』 佛告訴婆耆舍:『隨你喜歡說吧!』 當時,婆耆舍就說了偈頌: 『十五清凈日,其眾五百人,斷除一切結,有盡大仙人。 清凈相習近,清凈廣解脫,不更受諸有,生死已永絕。 所作者已作,得一切漏盡,五蓋已云除,拔刺根本愛。 師子無所畏,離一切有餘,害諸有怨結,超越有餘境。 諸有漏怨敵,皆悉已潛伏,猶如轉輪王,懷受諸眷屬。 慈心廣宣化,海內悉奉用,能伏魔怨敵,為無上導師。 信敬心奉事,三明老死滅,為法之真子,無有飄轉患。 拔諸煩惱刺,敬禮日種胤。』

English version Sariputta said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, since these five hundred bhikkhus have no faults in terms of what is seen, heard, doubted, or in their actions of body, speech, and mind, how many of these bhikkhus have attained the three knowledges? How many have attained liberation in both ways? And how many have attained liberation through wisdom?' The Buddha told Sariputta, 'Among these five hundred bhikkhus, ninety have attained the three knowledges, ninety have attained liberation in both ways, and the rest have attained liberation through wisdom. Sariputta, these bhikkhus have abandoned all wandering, have no superficiality, and are truly firm and steadfast.' At that time, the venerable Vangisa, in the assembly, thought, 'Now I should praise and express my heartfelt verses before the Buddha and the assembly.' Having thought this, he immediately rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, paid homage to the Buddha, knelt on his right knee, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, I wish to say something. O Sugata, I wish to say something.' The Buddha told Vangisa, 'Speak as you please!' Then, Vangisa spoke these verses: 'On the fifteenth pure day, the assembly of five hundred, having cut off all fetters, are great sages who have reached the end. They associate with purity, with pure and vast liberation, no longer subject to existence, their cycle of birth and death is forever ended. What was to be done is done, they have attained the extinction of all defilements, the five hindrances are dispelled, the root of craving is uprooted. Like fearless lions, they are free from all attachments, they have destroyed the bonds of enmity, they have transcended the realm of attachments. All defiled enemies are subdued, like a universal monarch, they are surrounded by their retinue. They spread loving-kindness widely, all within the seas follow their teachings, they subdue the enemies of Mara, they are unsurpassed guides. With faith and reverence, they serve, the three knowledges have extinguished old age and death, they are the true sons of the Dharma, free from the suffering of wandering. Having uprooted the thorns of affliction, I pay homage to the offspring of the sun.'


。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二一三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,尊者尼拘律相住于曠野禽獸住處。尊者婆耆捨出家未久,有如是威儀,依聚落城邑住,晨朝著衣持缽,于彼聚落城邑乞食,善護其身,守諸根門,攝心繫念。食已,還住處,舉衣缽,洗足畢,入室坐禪。速從禪覺,不著乞食,而彼無有隨時教授、無有教誡者,心不安樂,周圓隱覆。如是深住。

時,尊者婆耆舍作是念:「我不得利,難得非易得。我不隨時得教授、教誡,不得欣樂周圓隱覆心住。我今當讚歎自厭之偈。」即說偈言:

「當舍樂不樂,  及一切貪覺,  于鄰無所作,  離染名比丘。  於六覺心想,  馳騁於世間,  惡不善隱覆,  不能去面板。  穢污樂於心,  是不名比丘,  有餘縛所縛,  見聞覺識俱。  于欲覺悟者,  彼處不復染,  如是不染者,  是則為牟尼。  大地及虛空,  世間諸色像,  斯皆磨滅法,  寂然自決定。  法器久修習,  而得三摩提,  不觸不諂偽,  其心極專至。  彼聖久涅槃,  繫念待時滅

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

(一二一三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

當時,尊者尼拘律住在曠野禽獸棲息的地方。尊者婆耆捨出家不久,有這樣的威儀,依附聚落城鎮居住,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,在那些聚落城鎮乞食,善於保護自己的身體,守護諸根門,攝持心念。吃完飯後,回到住處,收好衣缽,洗完腳,進入房間坐禪。很快從禪定中醒來,不執著于乞食,但是他沒有隨時給予教導、沒有教誡的人,內心不安樂,週身都被隱蔽覆蓋。就這樣深深地住著。

當時,尊者婆耆舍這樣想:『我沒有得到利益,難以得到而非容易得到。我不能隨時得到教導、教誡,不能欣喜安樂地住在週身都被隱蔽覆蓋的狀態。我現在應當讚歎自我厭惡的偈頌。』於是說了偈頌:

『應當捨棄快樂和不快樂,以及一切貪慾的感受,對於鄰居沒有所作所為,遠離污染的稱為比丘。 對於六種感覺的心念,在世間馳騁,惡和不善被隱蔽覆蓋,不能去除面板。 內心喜歡污穢,這不稱為比丘,被其餘的束縛所束縛,見聞覺知都如此。 對於慾望覺悟的人,那個地方不再被污染,像這樣不被污染的人,就是牟尼。 大地和虛空,世間各種色相,這些都是磨滅的法則,寂靜地自我決定。 法器長期修習,從而得到三摩地,不觸碰不諂媚虛偽,他的心極其專一。 那位聖者久已涅槃,繫念等待時機滅度。』

English version After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it.

(1213)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha.

At that time, the venerable Nigrodha was dwelling in a wilderness, a place where beasts and birds resided. The venerable Vangisa, having recently gone forth, had such deportment, dwelling in dependence on villages and towns. In the morning, having dressed and taken his bowl, he would go for alms in those villages and towns, carefully protecting his body, guarding his sense doors, and focusing his mind. Having eaten, he would return to his dwelling, put away his robe and bowl, wash his feet, and enter his room to meditate. Quickly arising from meditation, he was not attached to alms-seeking, but he had no one to give him timely instruction or admonishment, and his mind was not at peace, being completely covered and concealed. Thus he dwelt deeply.

Then, the venerable Vangisa thought: 'I have not gained benefit, it is difficult to obtain and not easy to obtain. I cannot receive timely instruction or admonishment, and I cannot happily dwell with my mind completely covered and concealed. Now I should praise verses of self-disgust.' Then he spoke these verses:

'One should abandon pleasure and displeasure, and all feelings of craving. Towards one's neighbor, one should do nothing. One who is free from defilement is called a bhikkhu. The mind, with its six senses, roams in the world. Evil and unwholesome things are concealed and covered, and cannot be removed from the skin. One whose mind delights in defilement is not called a bhikkhu. Bound by remaining fetters, seeing, hearing, and knowing are all the same. One who is awakened to desire is no longer defiled in that place. One who is not defiled in this way is a muni. The earth and the sky, all forms in the world, these are all subject to destruction, and are self-determined in stillness. The vessel of Dharma is long practiced, and thus one attains samadhi. Not touching, not flattering, his mind is extremely focused. That saint has long since attained nirvana, mindful and awaiting the time of passing away.'


。」

時,尊者婆耆舍說自厭離偈,心自開覺,于不樂等開覺已,欣樂心住。

(一二一四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者阿難陀晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,以尊者婆耆舍為伴。時,尊者婆耆舍見女人有上妙色,見已,貪慾心起。

時,尊者婆耆舍作是念:「我今得不利,得苦非得樂,我今見年少女人有妙絕之色,貪慾心生。今為生厭離故,而說偈言:

「貪慾所覆故,  熾然燒我心,  今尊者阿難,  為我滅貪火。  慈心哀愍故,  方便為我說。」

尊者阿難說偈答言:

「以彼顛倒想,  熾然燒其心,  遠離於凈想,  長養貪慾者。  當修不凈觀,  常一心正受,  速滅貪慾火,  莫令燒其心。  諦觀察諸行,  苦空非有我,  繫念正觀身,  多修習厭離。  修習于無相,  滅除憍慢使,  得慢無間等,  究竟於苦邊。」

尊者阿難說是語時,尊者婆耆舍聞其所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二一五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有一長者請佛及僧就其舍食。入其舍已,尊者婆耆舍直日住守,請其食分

現代漢語譯本 當時,尊者婆耆舍說了自我厭離的偈語,內心自然開悟,在對不樂等事物開悟后,內心安住于欣樂之中。

(一二一四)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,尊者阿難陀早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食,尊者婆耆舍與他同行。當時,尊者婆耆舍看到一位女子容貌非常美麗,看到后,貪慾心生起。

當時,尊者婆耆舍這樣想:『我現在遇到了不利,得到了痛苦而不是快樂,我現在看到年輕女子容貌如此美好,貪慾心就產生了。現在爲了生起厭離心,我作偈說道:』

『貪慾所覆蓋,熾熱燃燒我心, 現在尊者阿難,為我熄滅貪火。 慈悲憐憫我,方便為我說法。』

尊者阿難說偈回答說:

『因為顛倒妄想,熾熱燃燒其心, 遠離清凈之想,增長貪慾之人。 應當修習不凈觀,常一心正受, 迅速熄滅貪慾,莫讓它燃燒內心。 仔細觀察諸行,苦空無我, 繫念正觀身體,多修習厭離。 修習無相之法,滅除驕慢之使, 得無慢無間等,最終到達苦的盡頭。』

尊者阿難說完這些話時,尊者婆耆舍聽了之後,歡喜奉行。

(一二一五)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位長者邀請佛陀和僧眾到他家吃飯。進入他家后,尊者婆耆舍負責當天值守,請求分得食物。

English version Then, the venerable Vāgiśa, having spoken a verse of self-aversion, his mind was naturally awakened, and having awakened to displeasure and the like, his mind dwelt in joy.

(1214)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī.

Then, the venerable Ānanda, having dressed in the morning and taken his bowl, entered Śrāvastī to beg for alms, with the venerable Vāgiśa as his companion. Then, the venerable Vāgiśa saw a woman of exquisite beauty, and having seen her, a desire arose in his mind.

Then, the venerable Vāgiśa thought: 'I have now encountered misfortune, I have obtained suffering rather than pleasure, I have now seen a young woman of such exquisite beauty, and a desire has arisen in my mind. Now, for the sake of generating aversion, I will speak this verse:'

'Covered by desire, My heart is burning fiercely, Now, venerable Ānanda, Extinguish the fire of my desire. Out of compassion and pity, Expediently speak to me.'

The venerable Ānanda replied with a verse:

'Because of deluded thoughts, Their hearts burn fiercely, Turning away from pure thoughts, Those who nurture desire. One should cultivate the contemplation of impurity, Always with one-pointed concentration, Quickly extinguish desire, Do not let it burn the heart. Carefully observe all phenomena, Suffering, emptiness, and no self, Focusing on the body with right view, Cultivate aversion often. Cultivate the signless, Eliminate the defilement of pride, Attain the absence of pride and the like, And reach the end of suffering.'

When the venerable Ānanda had spoken these words, the venerable Vāgiśa, having heard what was said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

(1215)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī.

Then, a certain householder invited the Buddha and the Sangha to his house for a meal. Having entered his house, the venerable Vāgiśa, who was on duty that day, requested his share of the food.


時,有眾多長者婦女從聚落出,往詣精舍。時,尊者婆耆舍見年少女人容色端正,貪慾心起。

時,尊者婆耆舍作是念:「我今不利,不得利,得苦不得樂,見他女人容色端正,貪慾心生。我今當說厭離偈。」念已,而說偈言:

「我已得出離,  非家而出家,  貪慾隨逐我,  如牛念他苗。  當如大將子,  大力執強弓,  能破彼重陣,  一人摧伏千。  今于日種胤,  面前聞所說,  正趣涅槃道,  決定心樂住。  如是不放逸,  寂滅正受住,  無能於我心,  幻惑欺誑者。  決定善觀察,  安住于正法,  正使無量數,  欲來欺惑我。  如是等惡魔,  莫能見於我。」

時,尊者婆耆舍說是偈已,心得安住。

(一二一六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,尊者婆耆舍自以智慧堪能善說,於法聰明梵行所生憍慢心,即自心念:「我不利,不得利,得苦不得樂,我自以智慧輕慢于彼聰明梵行者,我今當說能生厭離偈。」即說偈言:

「瞿曇莫生慢,  斷慢令無餘,  莫起慢覺想,  莫退生變悔。  莫隱覆於他,  泥犁殺慢墮,  正受能除憂,  見道住正道

現代漢語譯本:當時,有許多年長的婦女從村落出來,前往精舍。當時,尊者婆耆舍看到年輕女子容貌端正,生起了貪慾之心。 現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者婆耆舍這樣想:『我現在不利,沒有得到利益,得到痛苦而沒有得到快樂,看到其他女子容貌端正,就生起了貪慾之心。我現在應當說厭離的偈頌。』想到這裡,就說了偈頌: 現代漢語譯本:『我已經出離,離開家庭而出家,貪慾卻仍然跟隨著我,就像牛惦記著別人的田苗一樣。應當像大將的兒子一樣,有力地拿著強弓,能夠攻破敵人的重重陣勢,一個人就能摧毀千軍萬馬。現在在釋迦牟尼的面前聽聞所說,正朝著涅槃的道路前進,決心安住於此。像這樣不放逸,安住在寂滅的正受之中,沒有人能夠用幻惑來欺騙我。決心好好觀察,安住在正法之中,即使有無數的慾望來欺騙我,像這樣的惡魔,也不能看見我。』 現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者婆耆舍說完這偈頌后,內心安定下來。 現代漢語譯本:(一二一六) 現代漢語譯本:我是這樣聽說的: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者婆耆舍因為自己有智慧,能夠善於說法,對於佛法聰明,生起了修梵行而產生的驕慢心,就自己心裡想:『我真不利,沒有得到利益,得到痛苦而沒有得到快樂,我因為自己的智慧而輕慢那些聰明的修梵行者,我現在應當說能夠生起厭離的偈頌。』就說了偈頌: 現代漢語譯本:『喬達摩,不要生起驕慢,斷除驕慢使它沒有剩餘,不要生起驕慢的覺想,不要退轉而產生後悔。不要隱瞞自己的過錯,驕慢會使人墮入地獄,正受能夠消除憂愁,見到真理而安住于正道。』

English version: At that time, many elder women came out from the settlements and went to the monastery. At that time, the venerable Vāgiśa saw a young woman with a beautiful appearance, and lust arose in his heart. English version: At that time, the venerable Vāgiśa thought: 'I am now at a disadvantage, I have not gained benefit, I have gained suffering and not happiness, seeing other women with beautiful appearances, lust arises in my heart. I should now speak a verse of renunciation.' Having thought this, he spoke the verse: English version: 'I have already renounced, left home and become a monk, yet lust still follows me, like a cow longing for another's field. One should be like the son of a great general, powerfully holding a strong bow, able to break through the enemy's heavy formations, one person can destroy a thousand. Now, in the presence of the descendant of the sun, having heard what was said, I am heading towards the path of Nirvana, determined to dwell in it. Not being negligent in this way, dwelling in the peaceful right concentration, no one can deceive me with illusions. Determined to observe well, dwelling in the right Dharma, even if countless desires come to deceive me, such demons cannot see me.' English version: At that time, after the venerable Vāgiśa spoke this verse, his mind became settled. English version: (1216) English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. English version: At that time, the venerable Vāgiśa, because he had wisdom and was able to speak well, and was intelligent in the Dharma, developed arrogance from his practice of the holy life, and thought to himself: 'I am truly at a disadvantage, I have not gained benefit, I have gained suffering and not happiness, because of my wisdom I have looked down on those intelligent practitioners of the holy life, I should now speak a verse that can give rise to renunciation.' He then spoke the verse: English version: 'Gautama, do not give rise to arrogance, cut off arrogance so that nothing remains, do not give rise to thoughts of arrogance, do not regress and feel regret. Do not conceal your faults from others, arrogance will cause one to fall into hell, right concentration can eliminate sorrow, seeing the truth and dwelling on the right path.'


。  其心得喜樂,  見道自攝持,  是故無礙辯,  清凈離諸蓋。  斷一切諸慢,  起一切明處,  正念於三明,  神足他心智。」

時,尊者婆耆舍說此生厭離偈已,心得清凈。

(一二一七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,尊者婆耆舍住舍衛國東園鹿子母講堂,獨一思惟,不放逸住,專修自業,逮得三明,身作證。

時,尊者婆耆舍作是念:「我獨一靜處思惟,不放逸住,專修自業,起於三明,身作證,今當說偈讚歎三明。」即說偈言:

「本欲心狂惑,  聚落及家家,  遊行遇見佛,  授我殊勝法。  瞿曇哀愍故,  為我說正法,  聞法得凈信,  舍非家出家。  聞彼說法已,  正住於法教,  勤方便繫念,  堅固常堪能。  逮得於三明,  于佛教已作,  世尊善顯示,  日種苗胤說。  為生盲眾生,  開其出要門,  苦苦及苦因,  苦滅盡作證。  八聖離苦道,  安樂趣涅槃,  善義善句味,  梵行無過上。  世尊善顯示,  涅槃濟眾生。」

(一二一八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 他的內心充滿喜悅,見到真理便能自我約束, 因此擁有無礙的辯才,清凈無染,遠離一切煩惱。 斷除一切驕慢,生起一切智慧光明, 正念于宿命、天眼、漏盡三明,以及神通、他心智。 當時,尊者婆耆舍說完這首生起厭離心的偈頌后,內心變得清凈。

(一二一七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,尊者婆耆舍住在舍衛國東園的鹿子母講堂,獨自一人靜思,不放逸地修行,專心修習自己的功課,證得了宿命、天眼、漏盡三明,親身作證。

當時,尊者婆耆舍心想:『我獨自一人在靜處思惟,不放逸地修行,專心修習自己的功課,生起了宿命、天眼、漏盡三明,親身作證,現在應當說偈讚歎三明。』於是就說了這首偈: 『我本心意狂亂迷惑,在村落和各家之間遊蕩, 有幸遇見佛陀,他傳授給我殊勝的佛法。 瞿曇佛慈悲憐憫我,為我宣說正法, 我聽聞佛法後生起清凈的信心,捨棄在家生活而出家。 聽聞他所說的法后,我安住于佛法的教導, 勤奮方便地繫念,堅定不移,常能堪受。 證得了宿命、天眼、漏盡三明,在佛陀的教誨中已有所成就, 世尊善於開示,是日種的苗裔所說。 為那些像盲人一樣的眾生,開啟了脫離苦難的門徑, 苦、苦的根源,以及苦的滅盡,都已作證。 八聖道是離苦的道路,能到達安樂的涅槃, 其意義、語句、滋味都美好,梵行無與倫比。 世尊善於開示,以涅槃救度眾生。』

(一二一八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version His heart was filled with joy, seeing the truth, he could restrain himself, Therefore, he possessed unobstructed eloquence, pure and undefiled, free from all defilements. He severed all arrogance, arose all wisdom and light, Right mindfulness of the three knowledges: past lives, divine eye, and the ending of defilements, as well as supernatural powers and the knowledge of others' minds. At that time, after Venerable Vāgiśa spoke this verse of generating aversion, his heart became pure.

(1217)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī.

At that time, Venerable Vāgiśa was dwelling in the Deer Mother's Lecture Hall in the East Park of Śrāvastī, alone in contemplation, dwelling without negligence, diligently cultivating his own practice, attaining the three knowledges, and realizing them for himself.

Then, Venerable Vāgiśa thought: 'I am alone in a quiet place, contemplating, dwelling without negligence, diligently cultivating my own practice, arising the three knowledges, and realizing them for myself. Now, I should speak a verse praising the three knowledges.' Then he spoke this verse: 'My mind was originally wild and confused, wandering in villages and from house to house, I was fortunate to meet the Buddha, who taught me the supreme Dharma. Gautama Buddha, out of compassion for me, expounded the true Dharma, After hearing the Dharma, I developed pure faith, abandoning the household life and going forth. After hearing the Dharma he spoke, I dwelt rightly in the teachings of the Dharma, Diligently and skillfully applying mindfulness, steadfast and always capable. Having attained the three knowledges, I have accomplished what is to be done in the Buddha's teachings, The World Honored One has well revealed, spoken by the offspring of the sun. For those beings who are like the blind, he opened the gate of liberation from suffering, Suffering, the cause of suffering, and the cessation of suffering, all have been realized. The Noble Eightfold Path is the path to liberation from suffering, leading to the bliss of Nirvana, Its meaning, words, and taste are all good, the holy life is unsurpassed. The World Honored One has well revealed, saving beings with Nirvana.'

(1218)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in Śrāvastī.


爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我今當說四法句。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。何等為四?

「賢聖善說法,  是則為最上。  愛說非不愛,  是則為第二。  諦說非虛妄,  是則第三說。  法說不異言,  是則為第四。

「諸比丘!是名說四法句。」

爾時,尊者婆耆舍于眾會中,作是念:「世尊於四眾中說四法句,我當以四種讚歎稱譽隨喜。」即從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛言:「世尊!欲有所說。善逝!欲有所說。」

佛告婆耆舍:「隨所樂說!」

時,尊者婆耆舍即說偈言:

「若善說法者,  於己不惱迫,  亦不恐怖他,  是則為善說。  所說愛說者,  說令彼歡喜,  不令彼為惡,  是則為愛說。  諦說知甘露,  諦說知無上,  諦義說法說,  正士建立處。  如佛所說法,  安隱涅槃道,  滅除一切苦,  是名善說法。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二一九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城那伽山側,與千比丘俱,皆是阿羅漢,盡諸有漏,所作已作,離諸重擔,逮得己利,盡諸有結,正智心善解脫

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說四種法句。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。哪四種呢?』 『賢聖之人善於說法,這是最上的。』 『樂於說別人愛聽的話,這是第二。』 『說真實不虛妄的話,這是第三種說法。』 『說法符合正法,不與正法相異,這是第四種。』 『諸位比丘!這稱為四種法句。』 當時,尊者婆耆舍在眾會中,心中想:『世尊在四眾之中說了四種法句,我應當用四種讚歎來稱揚隨喜。』於是從座位上起身,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,合掌對佛說:『世尊!我想說些話。善逝!我想說些話。』 佛陀告訴婆耆舍:『隨你喜歡說吧!』 當時,尊者婆耆舍就說了偈語: 『如果善於說法的人,自己不會感到煩惱,也不會使他人感到恐懼,這就是善於說法。』 『所說的話是別人愛聽的,說的話能使他們歡喜,不使他們作惡,這就是樂於說別人愛聽的話。』 『說真實的話能瞭解甘露,說真實的話能瞭解無上,說真實的話,符合正義,是正人君子建立的處所。』 『如同佛陀所說的法,是安穩的涅槃之道,能滅除一切痛苦,這稱為善於說法。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (一二一九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城那伽山旁,與一千位比丘在一起,他們都是阿羅漢,斷盡了一切煩惱,該做的都已做完,脫離了一切重擔,獲得了自身的利益,斷盡了一切束縛,以正智之心獲得了善解脫。

English version At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus: 'I will now speak of four phrases of the Dharma. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain them to you. What are the four?' 'The wise and noble speak well of the Dharma, this is the highest.' 'To speak what is loved and not disliked, this is the second.' 'To speak truthfully and not falsely, this is the third saying.' 'To speak the Dharma without deviating from it, this is the fourth.' 'Bhikkhus! These are called the four phrases of the Dharma.' At that time, the Venerable Vāgiśa, in the assembly, thought: 'The World Honored One has spoken four phrases of the Dharma among the four assemblies, I should praise and rejoice with four kinds of praise.' Then he rose from his seat, adjusted his robe, bowed to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I wish to say something. Sugata! I wish to say something.' The Buddha told Vāgiśa: 'Speak as you please!' Then, the Venerable Vāgiśa spoke in verse: 'If one speaks well of the Dharma, one does not trouble oneself, nor does one frighten others, this is to speak well.' 'What is spoken is loved, and what is said makes them happy, not causing them to do evil, this is to speak what is loved.' 'To speak truthfully is to know the nectar, to speak truthfully is to know the unsurpassed, to speak truthfully, in accordance with righteousness, is the place where the righteous establish themselves.' 'Like the Dharma spoken by the Buddha, it is the peaceful path to Nirvana, extinguishing all suffering, this is called speaking well of the Dharma.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1219) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on the side of Mount Nāga in Rājagṛha, together with a thousand bhikkhus, all of whom were Arhats, having exhausted all outflows, having done what was to be done, having laid down all burdens, having attained their own benefit, having exhausted all fetters, and having attained good liberation through right wisdom.


爾時,尊者婆耆舍住王舍城寒林中丘塳間,作是念:「今世尊住王舍城那伽山側,與千比丘俱,皆是阿羅漢,諸漏已盡,所作已作,離諸重擔,逮得己利,盡諸有結,正智心善解脫。我今當往,各別讚歎世尊及比丘僧。」作是念已,即往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面。而說偈言:

「無上之導師,  住那伽山側,  千比丘眷屬,  奉事于如來。  大師廣說法,  清涼涅槃道,  專聽清白法,  正覺之所說。  正覺尊所敬,  處於大眾中,  德陰之大龍,  仙人之上首。  興功德密雲,  普雨聲聞眾,  起于晝正受,  來奉覲大師。  弟子婆耆舍,  稽首而頂禮。

「世尊!欲有所說。唯然,善逝!欲有所說。」

佛告婆耆舍:「隨汝所說,莫先思惟。」

時,婆耆舍即說偈言:

「波旬起微惡,  潛制令速滅,  能掩障諸魔,  令自覺知過。  觀察解結縛,  分別清白法,  明照如日月,  為諸異道王。  超出智作證,  演說第一法,  出煩惱諸流,  說道無量種。  建立於甘露,  見諦真實法,  如是隨順道,  如是師難得。  建立甘露道,  見諦崇遠離,  世尊善說法,  能除人陰蓋

現代漢語譯本: 當時,尊者婆耆舍住在王舍城寒林中的丘陵之間,心中想著:『現在世尊住在王舍城那伽山旁,與一千位比丘在一起,他們都是阿羅漢,煩惱已經斷盡,該做的都已完成,脫離了一切重擔,獲得了自身的利益,斷盡了一切束縛,以正智之心獲得了徹底的解脫。我今天應當前去,分別讚歎世尊和比丘僧團。』 這樣想著,他就前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,然後退到一旁站立。並說了以下偈頌: 『無上的導師,住在那伽山旁,一千位比丘眷屬,侍奉著如來。 大師廣說佛法,清涼的涅槃之道,專心聽聞清凈的佛法,這是正覺者所說的。 正覺的尊者受人尊敬,處於大眾之中,是德行如陰影般的大龍,是仙人中的首領。 興起功德的密雲,普遍滋潤著聲聞弟子們,從白天的禪定中起身,前來拜見大師。 弟子婆耆舍,稽首頂禮。 世尊!我想說些話。是的,善逝!我想說些話。』 佛陀告訴婆耆舍:『隨你所說,不必事先思慮。』 當時,婆耆舍就說了以下偈頌: 『波旬興起微小的惡念,要潛伏著迅速將其消滅,能遮蔽阻礙一切魔障,使自己覺知過錯。 觀察並解開束縛,分別清凈的佛法,光明照耀如日月,是各種外道之王。 超越智慧而作證,演說第一殊勝的佛法,從煩惱的河流中解脫出來,講述無量的道理。 建立甘露之道,見到真理的真實法,像這樣隨順正道,這樣的導師難以獲得。 建立甘露之道,見到真理而崇尚遠離,世尊善於說法,能消除人們的陰暗遮蔽。'

English version: At that time, the venerable Vāgiśa was dwelling in a grove in the charnel ground of Rājagaha, and he thought: 『Now the Blessed One is dwelling near Mount Nāga in Rājagaha, with a thousand bhikkhus, all of whom are arahants, their defilements destroyed, their task done, their burdens laid down, their own welfare achieved, the fetters of existence utterly destroyed, and liberated by right knowledge. I should go and praise the Blessed One and the Sangha of bhikkhus separately.』 Having thought this, he went to where the Blessed One was, bowed down at his feet, and stood to one side. Then he spoke these verses: 『The unsurpassed guide, dwells near Mount Nāga, with a thousand bhikkhus, attending upon the Tathāgata. The great teacher widely proclaims the Dhamma, the cool path of Nibbāna, devotedly listening to the pure Dhamma, which the Fully Awakened One has spoken. The Fully Awakened One is revered, standing in the midst of the assembly, a great dragon of virtue, the foremost of sages. Raising clouds of merit, he showers the disciples of the voice, rising from the day』s meditation, to pay homage to the great teacher. The disciple Vāgiśa, bows down and pays homage. 『Venerable Sir, I wish to say something. Yes, Blessed One, I wish to say something.』 The Buddha said to Vāgiśa: 『Say what you wish, do not think beforehand.』 Then Vāgiśa spoke these verses: 『Māra raises subtle evils, secretly suppressing them to quickly destroy them, able to conceal all demons, making one aware of one』s own faults. Observing and untying the bonds, distinguishing the pure Dhamma, shining like the sun and moon, he is the king of various heretics. Transcending wisdom and realizing it, he proclaims the foremost Dhamma, freeing from the streams of defilements, teaching countless ways. Establishing the path of ambrosia, seeing the true Dhamma, thus following the right path, such a teacher is hard to find. Establishing the path of ambrosia, seeing the truth and valuing detachment, the Blessed One teaches well, able to remove people』s obscurations.』


。  明見於諸法,  為調伏隨學。」

尊者婆耆舍說是偈已,諸比丘聞其所說,皆大歡喜。

(一二二〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。爾時,世尊為比丘眾說四聖諦相應法,謂此苦聖諦、此苦集聖諦、此苦滅聖諦、此苦滅道跡聖諦。

時,尊者婆耆舍在會中,作是念:「我今當於世尊面前讚歎拔箭之譬。」如是念已,即從座起,整衣服,合掌白佛言:「唯然,世尊!欲有所說。唯然,善逝!欲有所說。」

佛告婆耆舍:「隨所樂說!」

時,尊者婆耆舍即說偈言:

「我今敬禮佛,  哀愍諸眾生,  第一拔利箭,  善解治眾病。  迦露醫投藥,  波睺羅治藥,  及彼瞻婆耆,  耆婆醫療病。  或有病小差,  名為善治病,  后時病還發,  抱病遂至死。  正覺大醫王,  善投眾生藥,  究竟除眾苦,  不復受諸有。  乃至百千種,  那由他病數,  佛悉為療治,  究竟於苦邊。  諸醫來會者,  我今悉告汝,  得甘露法藥,  隨所樂而服。  第一拔利箭,  善覺知眾病,  治中之最上,  故稽首瞿曇。」

尊者婆耆舍說是語時,諸比丘聞其所說,皆大歡喜

現代漢語譯本 『在一切法中都能明察,爲了調伏而隨之修學。』 尊者婆耆舍說完這偈頌后,眾比丘聽了他說的話,都非常歡喜。

(一二二〇)

我(阿難)是這樣聽說的:

有一次,佛陀住在波羅奈國的仙人住處鹿野苑中。當時,世尊為比丘眾宣說與四聖諦相應的法,即苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。

當時,尊者婆耆舍在會眾中,心中想:『我現在應當在世尊面前讚歎拔箭的比喻。』這樣想后,就從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,合掌向佛陀稟告說:『世尊,我想要說些話。善逝,我想要說些話。』

佛陀告訴婆耆舍:『隨你喜歡說吧!』

當時,尊者婆耆舍就說了偈頌: 『我今敬禮佛陀,哀憐一切眾生, 您是第一位拔除利箭的人,善於治療各種疾病。 迦露醫投藥,波睺羅治藥, 還有瞻婆耆,耆婆也治療疾病。 有的病稍微好轉,就被稱為善於治療疾病, 但過後病又復發,抱病最終死去。 正覺的大醫王,善於給眾生投藥, 究竟除去了眾苦,不再承受輪迴。 乃至百千種,無數的病痛, 佛陀都能為之治療,最終到達苦的盡頭。 各位醫生來聚會,我現在都告訴你們, 得到甘露法藥,隨你們喜歡服用。 您是第一位拔除利箭的人,善於覺知各種疾病, 是治療中的最上者,所以我向瞿曇稽首。』

尊者婆耆舍說完這些話時,眾比丘聽了他說的話,都非常歡喜。

English version 'Clearly seeing all phenomena, practicing accordingly for the sake of taming.' After Venerable Vangisa spoke this verse, the monks, hearing what he said, were all greatly delighted.

(1220)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at Isipatana in Varanasi. At that time, the Blessed One was teaching the monks the Dharma that corresponds to the Four Noble Truths, namely, the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering.

Then, Venerable Vangisa, being in the assembly, thought to himself: 'Now I shall praise the simile of the arrow being pulled out in the presence of the Blessed One.' Having thought thus, he rose from his seat, arranged his robe, and, with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, I wish to say something. O Blessed One, I wish to say something.'

The Buddha said to Vangisa: 'Say what you wish!'

Then, Venerable Vangisa spoke these verses: 'I now pay homage to the Buddha, who has compassion for all beings, The foremost one who pulls out the sharp arrow, skilled in curing all diseases. Karuva dispenses medicine, Pahula dispenses medicine, And also Campagi, and Jivaka also cures diseases. Some diseases slightly improve, and are called well-cured, But later the disease returns, and they die with the illness. The fully enlightened great physician, skillfully gives medicine to beings, Ultimately removing all suffering, no longer experiencing rebirth. Even hundreds and thousands, countless numbers of diseases, The Buddha cures them all, ultimately reaching the end of suffering. All you physicians who have gathered, I now tell you all, Having obtained the nectar of the Dharma, take it as you please. The foremost one who pulls out the sharp arrow, skilled in knowing all diseases, The highest among healers, therefore I bow to Gotama.'

When Venerable Vangisa had spoken these words, the monks, hearing what he said, were all greatly delighted.


(一二二一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有尊者尼拘律想住于曠野禽獸之處,疾病委篤,尊者婆耆舍為看病人,瞻視供養。

彼尊者尼拘律想以疾病故,遂般涅槃。

時,尊者婆耆舍作是念:「我和上為有餘涅槃?無餘涅槃?我今當求其相。」

爾時,尊者婆耆舍供養尊者尼拘律想舍利已,持衣缽,向王舍城。次第到王舍城,舉衣缽,洗足已,詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面。而說偈言:

「我今禮大師,  等正覺無滅,  於此現法中,  一切疑網斷。  曠野住比丘,  命終般涅槃,  威儀攝諸根,  大德稱於世。  世尊為制名,  名尼拘律想,  我今問世尊,  彼不動解脫。  精進勤方便,  功德為我說,  我為釋迦種,  世尊法弟子。  及余皆欲知,  圓道眼所說,  我等住於此,  一切皆欲聞。  世尊為大師,  無上救世間,  斷疑大牟尼,  智慧已具備。  圓照神道眼,  光明顯四眾,  猶如天帝釋,  曜三十三天。  諸貪慾疑惑,  皆從無明起,  若得遇如來,  斷滅悉無餘。  世尊神道眼,  世間為最上,  滅除眾生愚,  如風飄遊塵

現代漢語譯本 (一二二一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有位尊者尼拘律想住在曠野禽獸出沒的地方,因病重臥床不起,尊者婆耆舍負責照料看護他。 尊者尼拘律想因為疾病的緣故,最終圓寂。 這時,尊者婆耆舍心想:『我的和尚是證得了有餘涅槃,還是無餘涅槃呢?我應該去探求其中的究竟。』 於是,尊者婆耆舍供奉完尊者尼拘律想的舍利后,拿著衣缽,前往王舍城。他依次到達王舍城,放下衣缽,洗完腳,來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀頂禮,然後退到一旁站立。他以偈語說道: 『我今禮敬大導師,等正覺者無有滅亡, 在此現世之中,一切疑惑都已斷除。 住在曠野的比丘,生命終結而圓寂, 威儀莊嚴攝持諸根,大德之名傳遍世間。 世尊為他取名,名為尼拘律想, 我今請問世尊,他是否證得不動解脫。 精進勤勉方便,請為我講述他的功德, 我作為釋迦族的後裔,是世尊的法弟子。 以及其他所有人都想知道,圓滿道眼所宣說的, 我們都住在這裡,一切都想聽聞。 世尊是偉大的導師,是無上救世之人, 斷除疑惑的大牟尼,智慧已經圓滿具備。 圓滿照耀的神道之眼,光明照耀四眾弟子, 猶如天帝釋,光耀三十三天。 所有的貪慾和疑惑,都從無明而生起, 如果能夠遇到如來,就能徹底斷滅,不留餘地。 世尊的神道之眼,是世間最殊勝的, 能消除眾生的愚癡,如同風吹散游塵。』

English version (1221) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, there was a venerable monk named Nigrodhakalpa who wished to live in a wilderness frequented by wild animals. He became seriously ill, and the venerable Vaggisa attended to him, caring for and providing for him. Due to his illness, the venerable Nigrodhakalpa eventually passed into Nirvana. Then, the venerable Vaggisa thought to himself, 'Did my teacher attain Nirvana with remainder or without remainder? I should now seek to understand this.' Thereupon, after making offerings to the relics of the venerable Nigrodhakalpa, the venerable Vaggisa took his robe and bowl and went to Rajagriha. He arrived in Rajagriha, put down his robe and bowl, washed his feet, and went to where the Buddha was. He bowed his head at the Buddha's feet and stood to one side. He then spoke these verses: 'I now pay homage to the great teacher, the perfectly enlightened one who is without extinction, In this present life, all doubts are cut off. The monk who lived in the wilderness, passed into Nirvana at the end of his life, His dignified conduct restrained his senses, his great virtue is renowned in the world. The World Honored One gave him the name, Nigrodhakalpa, I now ask the World Honored One, did he attain the unmoving liberation? His diligent and skillful efforts, please tell me of his merits, I, as a descendant of the Sakya clan, am a disciple of the World Honored One's Dharma. And all others wish to know, what the perfect eye of the path has declared, We all dwell here, and all wish to hear. The World Honored One is the great teacher, the unsurpassed savior of the world, The great sage who cuts off doubts, his wisdom is fully complete. The perfect shining divine eye, illuminates the four assemblies, Like Indra, the lord of the gods, shining upon the thirty-three heavens. All greed and doubt, arise from ignorance, If one can meet the Tathagata, they are completely cut off without remainder. The World Honored One's divine eye, is the most supreme in the world, It eliminates the ignorance of beings, like the wind scattering dust.'


。  一切諸世間,  煩惱覆隱沒,  設余悉無有,  明目如佛者。  慧光照一切,  令同大精進,  唯愿大智尊,  當爲眾記說。  言出微妙聲,  我等專心聽,  柔軟音演說,  諸世間普聞。  猶如熱渴逼,  求索清涼水,  如佛無減知,  我等亦求知。」

尊者婆耆舍復說偈言:

「今聞無上士,  記說其功德,  不空修梵行,  我聞大歡喜。  如說隨說得,  順牟尼弟子,  滅生死長縻,  虛偽幻化縛。  以見世尊故,  能斷除諸愛,  度生死彼岸,  不復受諸有。」

佛說此經已,尊者婆耆舍聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,天、阿修羅對陣鬥戰,阿修羅勝,諸天不如。時,天帝釋軍壞退散,極生恐怖,乘車北馳,還歸天宮。

「須彌山下道逕叢林,林下有金翅鳥巢,多有金翅鳥子

現代漢語譯本 『一切世間都被煩惱覆蓋隱沒,即使其他一切都空無,唯有像佛陀一樣明眼的人存在。』 『愿您的智慧之光照耀一切,使眾生都能像您一樣精進,唯愿大智大德的佛陀,為我們開示真諦。』 『您口中發出微妙的聲音,我們專心聆聽,您用柔和的聲音演說,讓世間一切眾生都能聽聞。』 『就像被炎熱乾渴逼迫的人,尋求清涼的水一樣,像佛陀一樣擁有無減的智慧,我們也渴望求知。』 尊者婆耆舍又說偈語: 『今天聽聞無上士,講述他的功德,不空修持梵行,我聽聞后非常歡喜。』 『如佛所說,隨佛所行,成為佛陀的弟子,就能滅除生死輪迴的束縛,以及虛妄幻化的枷鎖。』 『因為見到世尊的緣故,能夠斷除一切愛慾,度過生死彼岸,不再受輪迴之苦。』 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者婆耆舍聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 《雜阿含經》卷第四十五 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第四十六 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (一二二二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去世時,天神和阿修羅對陣作戰,阿修羅獲勝,天神戰敗。當時,天帝釋的軍隊潰敗逃散,非常恐懼,乘車向北逃跑,返回天宮。』 『須彌山下的道路經過叢林,叢林下有金翅鳥的巢穴,裡面有很多金翅鳥的幼鳥。』

English version 'All the worlds are covered and obscured by afflictions, even if everything else is empty, only those with clear vision like the Buddha exist.' 'May your light of wisdom illuminate all, enabling all beings to be as diligent as you, may the Buddha of great wisdom and virtue reveal the truth to us.' 'From your mouth comes forth a subtle sound, we listen attentively, you speak with a gentle voice, allowing all beings in the world to hear.' 'Just as one who is oppressed by heat and thirst seeks cool water, like the Buddha who possesses undiminished wisdom, we also yearn for knowledge.' Venerable Vāgiśa then spoke in verse: 'Today, hearing the unsurpassed one, recounting his merits, not in vain is the practice of the pure life, I am greatly delighted upon hearing this.' 'As the Buddha says, following the Buddha's path, becoming a disciple of the Buddha, one can extinguish the bonds of birth and death, and the shackles of illusion and delusion.' 'Because of seeing the World Honored One, one is able to cut off all desires, cross the shore of birth and death, and no longer suffer the pain of reincarnation.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Venerable Vāgiśa, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, paid his respects and departed. The Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 45 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 02, No. 0099, Samyukta Agama Sutra The Samyukta Agama Sutra, Volume 46 Translated by Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India (1222) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'In the past, the gods and asuras fought against each other, the asuras were victorious, and the gods were defeated. At that time, the army of the god Indra was routed and scattered, they were extremely frightened, and fled north in their chariots, returning to the heavenly palace.' 'The road below Mount Sumeru passed through a forest, and under the forest was the nest of a garuda, with many young garudas inside.'


。爾時,帝釋恐車馬過,踐殺鳥子,告御者言:『可回車還,勿殺鳥子。』御者白王:『阿修羅軍後來逐人,若回還者,為彼所困。』帝釋告言:『寧當回還為阿修羅殺,不以軍眾蹈殺眾生。』于道,御者轉乘南向。阿修羅軍遙見帝釋轉乘而還,謂為戰策,即還退走,眾大恐怖,壞陣流散,歸阿修羅宮。」

佛告諸比丘:「彼天帝釋於三十三天為自在王,以慈心故,威力摧伏阿修羅軍,亦常讚歎慈心功德。汝等比丘正信非家,出家學道,當修慈心,亦應讚歎慈心功德。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二二三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,王舍城中有一士夫,貧窮辛苦,而住佛、法、僧,受持禁戒,多聞廣學,力行惠施,正見成就。彼身壞命終,得生天上,生三十三天,有三事勝於餘三十三天。何等為三?一者天壽,二者天色,三者天名稱。諸三十三天見是天子三事特勝,天壽、天色、天名稱勝。

余諸天見已,往詣天帝釋所,作如是言:「憍尸迦當知,有一天子始生此天,于先諸天三事特勝,天壽、天色及天名稱

現代漢語譯本:當時,帝釋擔心車馬經過會踩死小鳥,就告訴駕車的人說:『可以調轉車頭回去,不要殺死小鳥。』駕車的人對帝釋說:『阿修羅的軍隊在後面追趕我們,如果調頭回去,會被他們困住。』帝釋說:『寧可調頭回去被阿修羅殺死,也不能讓軍隊踩死眾生。』於是,駕車的人在路上調轉車頭向南行駛。阿修羅的軍隊遠遠看見帝釋調轉車頭返回,以為是作戰的策略,就立刻退兵逃跑,眾人非常恐懼,陣型潰散,逃回了阿修羅的宮殿。 佛陀告訴各位比丘:『那位天帝釋在三十三天是自在之王,因為慈悲心的緣故,用威力降伏了阿修羅的軍隊,也常常讚歎慈悲心的功德。你們這些比丘,以正信捨棄家庭,出家修道,應當修習慈悲心,也應該讚歎慈悲心的功德。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (一二二三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,王舍城中有一個男子,貧窮辛苦,但他皈依佛、法、僧,受持戒律,博學多聞,努力行善佈施,正見成就。他身壞命終后,得以升到天上,生在三十三天,有三件事勝過其他的三十三天。哪三件事呢?一是天壽,二是天色,三是天名稱。三十三天的諸位天人看到這位天子在天壽、天色和天名稱三方面特別殊勝。 其餘的天人看到后,就去到天帝釋那裡,這樣說道:『憍尸迦,你應該知道,有一位天子剛生到這裡,在天壽、天色和天名稱三方面都特別勝過之前的諸位天人。』

English version: At that time, Sakra, fearing that the chariots and horses would pass over and trample the young birds to death, said to the charioteer, 'Turn the chariot back, do not kill the young birds.' The charioteer said to Sakra, 'The Asura army is pursuing us from behind. If we turn back, we will be trapped by them.' Sakra said, 'I would rather turn back and be killed by the Asuras than have the army trample living beings to death.' So, on the road, the charioteer turned the chariot southward. The Asura army, seeing Sakra turn his chariot back from afar, thought it was a battle tactic and immediately retreated. The crowd was terrified, their formation collapsed, and they fled back to the Asura palace. The Buddha told the monks, 'That Sakra, the lord of the Thirty-three Heavens, subdued the Asura army with his power because of his compassionate heart, and he often praised the merits of compassion. You monks, having left your homes with right faith to practice the Way, should cultivate compassion and also praise the merits of compassion.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1223) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, in Rajagriha, there was a man who was poor and worked hard, but he took refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, observed the precepts, was learned and widely knowledgeable, diligently practiced generosity, and had attained right view. After his body broke and his life ended, he was reborn in heaven, in the Thirty-three Heavens, and had three things that surpassed the other beings in the Thirty-three Heavens. What were the three? First, heavenly lifespan; second, heavenly appearance; and third, heavenly renown. The beings of the Thirty-three Heavens saw that this heavenly being was particularly superior in these three aspects: heavenly lifespan, heavenly appearance, and heavenly renown. The other heavenly beings, having seen this, went to Sakra, the lord of the gods, and said, 'Kausika, you should know that a heavenly being has just been born here, and he is particularly superior to the previous heavenly beings in three aspects: heavenly lifespan, heavenly appearance, and heavenly renown.'


。」

時,天帝釋告彼天子:「諸仁者!我見此人于王舍城作一士夫,貧窮辛苦,于如來法、律得信向心,乃至正見成就。身壞命終,來生此天,于諸三十三天三事特勝,天壽、天色及天名稱。」時,天帝釋即說偈言:

「正信于如來,  決定不傾動,  受持真實戒,  聖戒無厭者。  于佛心清凈,  成就於正見,  當知非貧苦,  不空而自活。  故於佛法僧,  當生清凈信,  智慧力增明,  思念佛正教。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二二四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城耆阇崛山中。爾時,王舍城人普設大會,悉為請種種異道。

有事遮羅迦外道者作是念:「我今請遮羅迦道天,先作福田。」或有事外道出家者,有事尼乾子道者,有事老弟子者,有事火弟子者,有事佛弟子僧者,咸作是念:「今當令佛面前僧,先作福田。」

時,天帝釋作是念:「莫令王舍城諸人舍佛面前僧,而奉事余道,求索福田。我當疾往,為王舍城人建立福田。」即化作大婆羅門,儀容嚴整,乘白馬車,諸年少婆羅門眾前後導從,持金斗傘蓋,至王舍城,詣諸處處大眾會中

當時,天帝釋告訴那些天子們:『各位仁者!我看到這個人曾在王舍城做一名普通男子,貧窮辛苦,對於如來的佛法和戒律產生了信仰之心,甚至達到了正見的境界。他身死命終后,轉生到這個天界,在三十三天中,有三件事特別殊勝,即天壽、天色和天名。』當時,天帝釋就說了這首偈語: 『對如來有真正的信仰,堅定不移,受持真實的戒律,對於聖戒永不厭倦。對佛陀心懷清凈,成就了正見,應當知道這樣的人不會貧苦,不會虛度此生。所以對於佛法僧三寶,應當生起清凈的信心,智慧的力量會增長明亮,要思念佛陀的正教。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,都歡喜地奉行。 (一二二四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城耆阇崛山中。當時,王舍城的人們普遍舉行盛大的集會,都邀請各種不同的外道。 有信奉遮羅迦外道的人這樣想:『我今天應該請遮羅迦道的天神,先作為福田。』有的信奉外道出家的人,有的信奉尼乾子道的人,有的信奉老弟子的人,有的信奉火弟子的人,有的信奉佛陀的弟子僧團的人,都這樣想:『今天應當讓佛陀面前的僧團,先作為福田。』 當時,天帝釋這樣想:『不能讓王舍城的人們捨棄佛陀面前的僧團,而去奉事其他外道,尋求福田。我應當趕快前往,為王舍城的人們建立福田。』於是就化作一位儀表莊嚴的大婆羅門,乘坐著白馬車,許多年輕的婆羅門眾前後引導跟隨,拿著金斗傘蓋,來到王舍城,前往各處大眾集會的地方。

At that time, the heavenly king Śakra addressed those gods, saying: 'Virtuous ones! I saw this person in Rājagṛha as a common man, poor and suffering, who developed faith and devotion towards the Dharma and Vinaya of the Tathāgata, even attaining right view. After his body broke and his life ended, he was reborn in this heaven, and among the Thirty-three Gods, he is especially superior in three things: heavenly lifespan, heavenly appearance, and heavenly renown.' Then, the heavenly king Śakra spoke this verse: 'With true faith in the Tathāgata, unwavering and firm, upholding the true precepts, never weary of the noble precepts. With a pure heart towards the Buddha, having attained right view, know that such a person will not be poor, and will not live in vain. Therefore, towards the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, one should generate pure faith, the power of wisdom will increase and become clear, and one should contemplate the Buddha's true teachings.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1224) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa in Rājagṛha. At that time, the people of Rājagṛha were holding a great assembly, inviting various different heterodox teachers. Some who revered the Cārvāka heretics thought: 'Today, I should invite the gods of the Cārvāka path to be the first field of merit.' Some who revered the heterodox ascetics, some who revered the Nirgrantha path, some who revered the old disciples, some who revered the fire disciples, and some who revered the Sangha of the Buddha's disciples, all thought: 'Today, we should have the Sangha in the presence of the Buddha be the first field of merit.' At that time, the heavenly king Śakra thought: 'I must not let the people of Rājagṛha abandon the Sangha in the presence of the Buddha and instead serve other paths, seeking a field of merit. I should quickly go and establish a field of merit for the people of Rājagṛha.' Then, he transformed himself into a great Brahmin of dignified appearance, riding a white horse-drawn chariot, with many young Brahmins leading and following him, holding golden parasols, and went to Rājagṛha, to the various places where the great assemblies were gathered.


諸王舍城一切士女咸作是念:「但當觀望此大婆羅門所奉事處,我當從彼而先供養,為良福田。」

時,天帝釋知王舍城一切士女心之所念,駕乘導從,逕詣耆阇崛山,至於門外,除去五飾,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。而說偈言:

「善分別顯示,  一切法彼岸,  悉度諸恐怖,  故稽首瞿曇。  諸人普設會,  欲求大功德,  各各設大施,  常愿有餘果。  愿為說福田,  令斯施果成。」

「帝釋大自在,  天王之所問,  于耆阇崛山,  大師為記說。  諸人普設會,  欲求大功德,  各各設大施,  常愿有餘果。  今當說福田,  施得大果處。  正向者有四,  四聖住于果,  是名僧福田,  明行定具足。  僧福田增廣,  無量逾大海,  調人師弟子,  照明顯正法。  斯等善供養,  施僧良福田,  于僧良福田,  佛說得大果。  以僧離五蓋,  清凈應讚歎,  施彼最上田,  少施收大利。  是故諸人者,  當施僧福田,  增得勝妙法,  明行定相應。  供此珍寶僧,  施主心歡喜,  起於三種心,  施衣服飲食。  離塵垢劍刺,  超度諸惡趣,  躬自行啟請,  自手平等與

現代漢語譯本 王舍城的所有男女都這樣想:『我們應當觀察這位大婆羅門所供奉的地方,我應當先從那裡開始供養,作為良田福地。』 當時,天帝釋知道王舍城所有男女心中的想法,便駕著車,帶著隨從,直接前往耆阇崛山,到了門外,脫去五種裝飾,前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退坐在一旁。並說了偈語: 『善於分別顯示,一切法之彼岸,完全度脫各種恐怖,所以向瞿曇稽首。 眾人普遍設宴,想要獲得大功德,各自進行大布施,常常希望有剩餘的果報。 愿為我們解說福田,使這些佈施的果報得以成就。』 『帝釋大自在,天王所提出的問題,在耆阇崛山,大師為他記說。 眾人普遍設宴,想要獲得大功德,各自進行大布施,常常希望有剩餘的果報。 現在應當解說福田,佈施能獲得大果報的地方。 正向者有四種,四聖人安住于果位,這稱為僧福田,明行定都具足。 僧福田增廣,無量無邊超過大海,調御師的弟子,照明顯揚正法。 供養這些人,佈施給僧眾是良田福地,在僧眾這良田福地,佛陀說能獲得大果報。 因為僧眾遠離五蓋,清凈值得讚歎,佈施給他們這最上的福田,少許佈施就能收穫大利益。 所以各位,應當佈施給僧福田,增長獲得殊勝的妙法,明行定相應。 供養這些珍寶般的僧眾,施主內心歡喜,生起三種心,佈施衣服飲食。 遠離塵垢劍刺,超脫各種惡趣,親自前往請求,親手平等給予。

English version All the men and women of Rajagriha thought, 'We should observe the place where this great Brahmin makes offerings. I should start offering from there first, as a field of merit.' At that time, Sakra, the lord of the gods, knowing the thoughts in the hearts of all the men and women of Rajagriha, drove his chariot with his retinue directly to Mount Gridhrakuta. Upon reaching the gate, he removed his five ornaments and went to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He then spoke these verses: 'Well-distinguished and shown, the other shore of all dharmas, completely crossing over all fears, therefore I bow to Gautama. People universally hold feasts, desiring to obtain great merit, each makes great offerings, always hoping for remaining rewards. May you explain the field of merit, so that the rewards of these offerings may be accomplished.' 'Sakra, the great sovereign, the question asked by the king of gods, on Mount Gridhrakuta, the master explained it. People universally hold feasts, desiring to obtain great merit, each makes great offerings, always hoping for remaining rewards. Now I shall explain the field of merit, the place where offerings can obtain great rewards. There are four who are rightly directed, the four saints dwell in the fruit, this is called the Sangha field of merit, complete with clear conduct and concentration. The Sangha field of merit is vast, immeasurable and beyond the great ocean, the disciples of the taming master, illuminating and manifesting the true Dharma. Offering to these people, giving to the Sangha is a good field of merit, in this good field of merit of the Sangha, the Buddha said one can obtain great rewards. Because the Sangha is free from the five hindrances, pure and worthy of praise, giving to them this supreme field of merit, a small offering can reap great benefits. Therefore, everyone, should give to the Sangha field of merit, increasing the attainment of the excellent Dharma, corresponding with clear conduct and concentration. Offering to these precious Sangha, the donors' hearts are joyful, giving rise to three kinds of thoughts, offering clothes and food. Free from the dust and thorns, transcending all evil realms, personally going to request, giving equally with one's own hands.


。  自利亦利他,  是施獲大利,  慧者如是施,  凈信心解脫。  無罪安樂施,  乘智往生彼。」

時,天帝釋聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,為佛作禮,即沒不現。

爾時,王舍城諸人民即從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,合掌白佛言:「世尊!唯愿世尊與諸大眾受我供養。」爾時,世尊默然受請。

是王舍城人民知世尊默然受其請已,作禮而歸,到諸人會處,具飲食,佈置床座,晨朝遣使,白佛:「時到,唯愿知時!」

爾時,世尊與諸大眾著衣持缽,至大會所,于大眾前敷座而坐。

王舍城人知佛坐定,自行種種豐美飲食。食訖,洗缽澡漱畢,還複本座,聽佛說法。

爾時,世尊為王舍城人種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,從座起而去。

(一二二五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城耆阇崛山中……廣說如上說。差別者:時,天帝釋說異偈,而問佛言:

「今請問瞿曇,  微密深妙慧,  世尊之所體,  無障礙知見。」

眾人普設會……偈如上廣說,乃至為王舍城諸設會者說種種法,示、教、照、喜已,從座起去。

(一二二六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,至舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:'利己亦利他,是佈施獲得大利益,有智慧的人如此佈施,以清凈的信心獲得解脫。無罪而安樂的佈施,憑藉智慧往生彼岸。' 現代漢語譯本:'當時,天帝釋聽到佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,向佛陀作禮,隨即消失不見。' 現代漢語譯本:'那時,王舍城的民眾從座位上起身,整理好衣服,向佛陀作禮,合掌對佛說:「世尊!唯愿世尊與諸位大眾接受我們的供養。」當時,世尊默然接受了邀請。' 現代漢語譯本:'王舍城的民眾知道世尊默然接受了他們的邀請后,作禮而歸,回到眾人聚集的地方,準備好飲食,佈置好床座,清晨派遣使者,稟告佛陀:「時間到了,唯愿世尊知曉!」' 現代漢語譯本:'當時,世尊與諸位大眾穿好衣服,拿著缽,來到大會的場所,在大眾面前鋪好座位坐下。' 現代漢語譯本:'王舍城的人知道佛陀坐定后,親自奉上各種豐盛的飲食。用完餐后,洗缽漱口完畢,回到原來的座位,聽佛陀說法。' 現代漢語譯本:'當時,世尊為王舍城的人們宣說各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,從座位起身離去。' 現代漢語譯本:'(一二二五)如是我聞:一時,佛陀住在王舍城耆阇崛山中……廣說如上所說。不同之處在於:當時,天帝釋說了不同的偈頌,並問佛陀:「現在請問瞿曇,關於微密深奧的智慧,世尊所體證的,無障礙的知見。」' 現代漢語譯本:'眾人普遍設宴……偈頌如上廣說,乃至為王舍城所有設宴的人們宣說各種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、歡喜之後,從座位起身離去。' 現代漢語譯本:'(一二二六)如是我聞:一時,佛陀在拘薩羅人間游化,到達舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。'

English version: 'Benefiting oneself also benefits others; such giving yields great benefit. The wise give in this way, attaining liberation through pure faith. Giving that is free from fault and brings happiness, one goes to the other shore by means of wisdom.' English version: 'At that time, Sakra, the lord of the gods, hearing what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and followed along, bowed to the Buddha, and then disappeared.' English version: 'Then, the people of Rajagriha rose from their seats, adjusted their robes, bowed to the Buddha, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha, 「Venerable One! We beseech the Venerable One and the great assembly to accept our offerings.」 At that time, the Venerable One silently accepted the invitation.' English version: 'The people of Rajagriha, knowing that the Venerable One had silently accepted their invitation, bowed and returned, went to the place where the people gathered, prepared food and drink, arranged seats, and in the morning sent a messenger to inform the Buddha, 「The time has come, may the Venerable One be aware!」' English version: 'At that time, the Venerable One and the great assembly put on their robes, took their bowls, and went to the place of the gathering, where they spread out seats and sat down before the assembly.' English version: 'The people of Rajagriha, knowing that the Buddha was seated, personally offered various abundant foods. After eating, they washed their bowls and rinsed their mouths, returned to their original seats, and listened to the Buddha's teachings.' English version: 'At that time, the Venerable One taught various doctrines to the people of Rajagriha, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening them, and then rose from his seat and departed.' English version: '(1225) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gijjhakuta in Rajagriha... The details are as described above. The difference is that at that time, Sakra, the lord of the gods, spoke a different verse and asked the Buddha, 「Now I ask Gotama, about the subtle and profound wisdom, that which the Venerable One has embodied, the unobstructed knowledge and vision.」' English version: 'The people universally prepared a feast... The verses are as described above, and then for all those who had prepared the feast in Rajagriha, he taught various doctrines, showing, instructing, illuminating, and gladdening them, and then rose from his seat and departed.' English version: '(1226) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering among the people of Kosala, and arrived at the Jeta Grove in Sravasti, the park of Anathapindika.'


時,波斯匿王聞世尊拘薩羅人間遊行,至舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。聞已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我聞世尊自記說成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,諸人傳者,得非虛妄過長說耶?為如說說、如法說、隨順法說耶?非是他人損同法者,于其問答生厭薄處耶?」

佛告大王:「彼如是說,是真諦說,非為虛妄。如說說、如法說、隨順法說,非是他人損同法者,于其問答生厭薄處。所以者何?大王,我今實得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提故。」

波斯匿王白佛言:「雖復世尊作如是說,我猶故不信。所以者何?此間有諸宿重沙門、婆羅門,所謂富蘭那迦葉、末迦利瞿舍梨子、刪阇耶毗羅胝子、阿耆多枳舍欽婆羅、迦羅拘陀迦栴延、尼乾陀若提子,彼等不自說言得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,何得世尊幼小年少,出家未久,而便自證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提?」

佛告大王:「有四種雖小而不可輕。何等為四?剎利王子年少幼小而不可輕,龍子年少幼小而不可輕、小火雖微而不可輕、比丘幼小而不可輕。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「剎利形相具,  貴族發名稱,  雖復年幼稚,  智者所不輕。  此必居王位,  顧念生怨害,  是故難可輕,  應生大恭敬

現代漢語譯本:當時,波斯匿王聽說世尊在拘薩羅地區游化,來到了舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。聽聞此事後,他前往佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我聽說世尊自己宣稱已經證得無上正等正覺,那些傳言的人,難道不是虛妄誇大其詞嗎?還是如實所說、如法所說、順應法理所說呢?難道不是那些損害他人、與自己見解相同的人,在問答中產生厭惡輕視的地方嗎?』 佛陀告訴波斯匿王:『他們那樣說,是真實不虛的。是如實所說、如法所說、順應法理所說,不是那些損害他人、與自己見解相同的人,在問答中產生厭惡輕視的地方。為什麼呢?大王,因為我確實已經證得無上正等正覺。』 波斯匿王對佛陀說:『即使世尊這樣說,我仍然不相信。為什麼呢?因為這裡有許多年長資深的沙門、婆羅門,比如富蘭那迦葉、末迦利瞿舍梨子、刪阇耶毗羅胝子、阿耆多枳舍欽婆羅、迦羅拘陀迦栴延、尼乾陀若提子,他們都不敢自稱已經證得無上正等正覺,為什麼世尊您如此年輕,出家不久,就自稱已經證得無上正等正覺呢?』 佛陀告訴波斯匿王:『有四種事物雖然小,卻不可輕視。是哪四種呢?剎帝利王子雖然年少,卻不可輕視;龍子雖然年少,卻不可輕視;小火雖然微弱,卻不可輕視;比丘雖然年少,卻不可輕視。』當時,世尊就說了這首偈語: 『剎帝利相貌端正,貴族出身,名聲顯赫,即使年幼,智者也不敢輕視。此人必定會登上王位,一旦心生怨恨,就會帶來災禍,所以不可輕視,應當對他生起恭敬之心。』

English version: At that time, King Pasenadi heard that the World Honored One was traveling in the Kosala region and had arrived at the Jeta Grove in Sravasti. Upon hearing this, he went to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! I have heard that the World Honored One has declared that he has attained Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Are those who spread this news speaking falsely and exaggerating? Or are they speaking truthfully, in accordance with the Dharma, and in accordance with the principles of the Dharma? Are they not those who harm others, those who share the same views, and who create a place of aversion and contempt in their questions and answers?' The Buddha said to King Pasenadi, 'What they say is true and not false. They are speaking truthfully, in accordance with the Dharma, and in accordance with the principles of the Dharma. They are not those who harm others, those who share the same views, and who create a place of aversion and contempt in their questions and answers. Why is that? O King, because I have indeed attained Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.' King Pasenadi said to the Buddha, 'Even though the World Honored One says this, I still do not believe it. Why is that? Because there are many senior and respected ascetics and Brahmins here, such as Purana Kassapa, Makkhali Gosala, Sanjaya Belatthiputta, Ajita Kesakambali, Pakudha Kaccayana, and Nigantha Nataputta. They do not claim to have attained Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. How can the World Honored One, who is so young and has not been ordained for long, claim to have attained Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi?' The Buddha said to King Pasenadi, 'There are four things that, although small, should not be underestimated. What are the four? A Kshatriya prince, though young, should not be underestimated; a dragon prince, though young, should not be underestimated; a small fire, though weak, should not be underestimated; and a bhikkhu, though young, should not be underestimated.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke this verse: 'A Kshatriya with noble features, of noble birth and renowned, even if young, is not to be underestimated by the wise. This one will surely ascend the throne, and if resentment arises, it will bring harm. Therefore, one should not underestimate him, but should show great respect.'


。  善求自護者,  自護如護命,  以平等自護,  而等護于命。  聚落及空處,  見彼幼龍者,  莫以小蛇故,  而生輕慢想。  雜色小龍形,  亦應令安樂,  輕蛇無士女,  悉為毒所害。  是故自護者,  當如護己命,  以斯善護己,  而等護于彼。  猛火之所食,  雖小食無限,  小燭亦能燒,  足薪則彌廣。  從微漸進燒,  盡聚落城邑,  是故自護者,  當如護己命。  以斯善護己,  而等護于彼,  盛火之所焚,  百卉蕩燒盡。  滅已不盈縮,  戒火還復生,  若輕毀比丘,  受持凈戒火。  燒身及子孫,  眾災流百世,  如燒多羅樹,  無有生長期。  是故當自護,  如自護己命,  以斯善自護,  而等護于彼。  剎利形相具,  幼龍及小火,  比丘具凈戒,  不應起輕想。  是故當自護,  如自護己命,  以斯善自護,  而等護于彼。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一二二七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,波斯匿王有祖母,極所敬重,忽爾命終

現代漢語譯本 善於保護自己的人,會像保護生命一樣保護自己,用平等的心態保護自己,也同樣平等地保護他人的生命。 在村落或空曠之處,如果看到幼小的龍,不要因為它像小蛇就輕視它。 即使是雜色的小龍,也應該讓它安樂,輕視小蛇,無論男女,都會被它的毒所害。 所以,保護自己的人,應當像保護自己的生命一樣,這樣善於保護自己,也同樣保護他人。 猛火吞噬,即使很小,也能吞噬無限的東西,小小的蠟燭也能燃燒,如果有足夠的柴火,火勢就會蔓延開來。 從微小的火苗逐漸燃燒,最終會燒燬整個村落和城邑,所以,保護自己的人,應當像保護自己的生命一樣。 這樣善於保護自己,也同樣保護他人,旺盛的火焰燃燒,百草都會被燒盡。 火焰熄滅后不會縮小,戒火還會重新燃起,如果輕視譭謗持守清凈戒律的比丘, 會燒燬自身和子孫,災禍會延續百世,就像燃燒多羅樹一樣,沒有生長期。 所以應當保護自己,像保護自己的生命一樣,這樣善於保護自己,也同樣保護他人。 剎帝利具有威嚴的形象,幼小的龍和小火,以及持守清凈戒律的比丘,都不應該輕視。 所以應當保護自己,像保護自己的生命一樣,這樣善於保護自己,也同樣保護他人。 佛陀說完這部經后,波斯匿王聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (一二二七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,波斯匿王有一位非常敬重的祖母,忽然去世了。

English version Those who are good at protecting themselves, protect themselves as if protecting their own lives, protect themselves with equality, and equally protect the lives of others. In villages or open spaces, if you see a young dragon, do not despise it because it looks like a small snake. Even a small, multi-colored dragon should be allowed to be at peace. Despising a small snake, whether male or female, will lead to being harmed by its venom. Therefore, those who protect themselves should do so as if protecting their own lives. By being good at protecting themselves, they also protect others equally. A raging fire, even if small, can consume an infinite amount. A small candle can burn, and if there is enough firewood, the fire will spread. Starting from a tiny flame, it gradually burns, eventually destroying entire villages and cities. Therefore, those who protect themselves should do so as if protecting their own lives. By being good at protecting themselves, they also protect others equally. A raging fire burns, and all the plants are consumed. Once the fire is extinguished, it does not shrink, and the fire of precepts can be rekindled. If you despise and slander a bhikkhu who upholds pure precepts, it will burn you and your descendants, and calamities will continue for hundreds of generations, like burning a palmyra tree, which has no period of growth. Therefore, you should protect yourself as if protecting your own life. By being good at protecting yourself, you also protect others equally. A Kshatriya with a majestic appearance, a young dragon, a small fire, and a bhikkhu who upholds pure precepts should not be despised. Therefore, you should protect yourself as if protecting your own life. By being good at protecting yourself, you also protect others equally. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, King Pasenadi, having heard the Buddha's teachings, rejoiced and paid his respects before departing. (1227) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, King Pasenadi had a grandmother whom he deeply respected, and she suddenly passed away.


。出城阇維,供養舍利畢,弊衣亂髮,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告波斯匿王:「大王!從何所來,弊衣亂髮?」

波斯匿王白佛:「世尊!我亡祖母,極所敬重,舍我命終,出於城外阇維,供養畢,來詣世尊。」

佛告大王:「極愛重敬念祖親耶?」

波斯匿王白佛:「世尊!極敬重愛戀。世尊!若國土所有象馬七寶,乃至國位,悉持與人,能救祖母命者,悉當與之。既不能救,生死長辭,悲戀憂苦,不自堪勝!曾聞世尊所說:『一切眾生、一切蟲、一切神,生者皆死,無不窮盡,無有出生而不死者。』今日乃知世尊善說。」

佛言:「大王!如是!如是!一切眾生、一切蟲、一切神,生者輒死,終歸窮盡,無有一生而不死者。」

佛告大王:「正使婆羅門大姓、剎利大姓、長者大姓,生者皆死,無不死者。正使剎利大王灌頂居位,王四天下,得力自在,于諸敵國無不降伏,終歸有極,無不死者。若復,大王!生長壽天,王于天宮,自在快樂,終亦歸盡,無不死者。若復,大王!羅漢比丘諸漏已盡,離諸重擔,所作已作,逮得己利,盡諸有結,正智心善解脫,彼亦歸盡,捨身涅槃

現代漢語譯本:從城門出來,在阇維(火葬場)供奉完舍利后,我衣衫襤褸,頭髮散亂,來到佛陀這裡,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退到一旁坐下。 這時,世尊問波斯匿王:『大王,你從哪裡來,為何衣衫襤褸,頭髮散亂?』 波斯匿王回答佛陀:『世尊,我最敬重的祖母去世了,我把她送到城外阇維火化,供奉完舍利后,就來見世尊了。』 佛陀問大王:『你非常愛重敬念你的祖母嗎?』 波斯匿王回答佛陀:『世尊,我非常敬重愛戀她。世尊,如果有人能救我祖母的性命,我願意把國土所有的象馬七寶,甚至王位都給他。但既然不能救,生死永別,我悲傷憂愁,難以自持!我曾聽世尊說過:『一切眾生、一切蟲、一切神,生者皆死,沒有不窮盡的,沒有出生而不死的。』今天我才知道世尊說得真好。』 佛陀說:『大王,是這樣的!是這樣的!一切眾生、一切蟲、一切神,生下來就註定要死,最終都會窮盡,沒有一生而不死的。』 佛陀告訴大王:『即使是婆羅門大姓、剎帝利大姓、長者大姓,生下來也都會死,沒有不死的。即使是剎帝利大王加冕登基,統治四方天下,擁有強大的力量,能夠降伏所有敵國,最終也會有盡頭,沒有不死的。如果大王你生到長壽天,在天宮享受自在快樂,最終也會歸於盡頭,沒有不死的。如果大王,羅漢比丘已經斷盡所有煩惱,卸下所有重擔,該做的已經做完,獲得自身的利益,斷盡所有束縛,以正智之心獲得徹底解脫,他們也會歸於盡頭,捨棄肉身進入涅槃。』

English version: Having left the city and performed the cremation rites at Jhavi, after offering the relics, I came to the Buddha with disheveled clothes and hair, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. At that time, the World Honored One asked King Pasenadi, 'Great King, where have you come from, with your disheveled clothes and hair?' King Pasenadi replied to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, my grandmother, whom I deeply respected, passed away. I took her outside the city to Jhavi for cremation, and after offering the relics, I came to see the World Honored One.' The Buddha asked the king, 'Do you deeply love, respect, and cherish your grandmother?' King Pasenadi replied to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, I deeply respect and cherish her. World Honored One, if anyone could save my grandmother's life, I would give them all the elephants, horses, seven treasures of the kingdom, even my throne. But since it cannot be saved, we are separated by life and death, and I am overwhelmed with grief and sorrow! I have heard the World Honored One say: 'All beings, all insects, all gods, those who are born will die, none will not come to an end, and none are born without dying.' Today I know that the World Honored One speaks well.' The Buddha said, 'Great King, it is so! It is so! All beings, all insects, all gods, those who are born will die, and will eventually come to an end. There is no one who is born and does not die.' The Buddha told the king, 'Even if they are of the great Brahmin lineage, the great Kshatriya lineage, or the great elder lineage, those who are born will all die, none will not die. Even if a Kshatriya king is crowned and sits on the throne, ruling the four corners of the world, possessing great power, and able to subdue all enemy nations, he will eventually come to an end, none will not die. If, Great King, you are born in the long-lived heavens, enjoying freedom and happiness in the heavenly palace, you will eventually come to an end, none will not die. If, Great King, an Arhat Bhikkhu has exhausted all defilements, cast off all burdens, done what needs to be done, attained his own benefit, exhausted all bonds, and with right wisdom, his mind is well liberated, he will also come to an end, abandoning his body and entering Nirvana.'


。若復緣覺善調善寂,盡此身命,終歸涅槃,諸佛世尊十力具足,四無所畏,勝師子吼,終亦捨身,取般涅槃。以如是比,大王當知,一切眾生、一切蟲、一切神,有生輒死,終歸磨滅,無不死者!」爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「一切眾生類,  有命終歸死,  各隨業所趣,  善惡果自受。  惡業墮地獄,  為善上升天,  修習勝妙道,  漏盡般涅槃。  如來及緣覺,  佛聲聞弟子,  會當捨身命,  何況俗凡夫。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一二二八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,波斯匿王獨一靜處,禪思思惟,作是念:「云何為自念?云何為不自念?」復作是念:「若有行身惡行、行口惡行、行意惡行者,當知斯等為不自念。若復行身善行、行口善行、行意善行者,當知斯等則為自念。」從禪覺已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!我于靜處獨一思惟,作是念:『云何為自念?云何為不自念?』復作是念:『若有行身惡行、行口惡行、行意惡行者,當知斯等為不自念。若復行身善行、行口善行、行意善行者,當知斯等則為自念

現代漢語譯本:如果那些修習緣覺的人,他們善於調伏自己的心,達到寂靜的境界,即使他們壽命終結,最終也會進入涅槃。諸佛世尊具備十種力量,四種無所畏懼的品質,發出如同獅子吼般的聲音,最終也會捨棄肉身,進入般涅槃。以此類比,大王應當明白,一切眾生、一切蟲類、一切神靈,只要有生,就必然有死,最終都會消亡,沒有誰能夠不死!』當時,世尊又說了偈語: 『一切眾生種類,有生命終將死亡,各自隨著業力所趨,善惡的果報自己承受。作惡的墮入地獄,行善的升上天堂,修習殊勝微妙的道,斷盡煩惱進入涅槃。如來和緣覺,佛陀的聲聞弟子,都會捨棄生命,何況是世俗的凡夫呢?』 佛陀說完這部經后,波斯匿王聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離開了。 (一二二八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,波斯匿王獨自一人在安靜的地方,禪定思惟,心中想道:『什麼叫做自我關照?什麼叫做不自我關照?』他又想:『如果有人行為上造作惡業,言語上造作惡業,意念上造作惡業,應當知道這些人是不自我關照的。如果有人行為上造作善業,言語上造作善業,意念上造作善業,應當知道這些人是自我關照的。』從禪定中醒來后,他前往佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我在安靜的地方獨自思惟,心中想道:『什麼叫做自我關照?什麼叫做不自我關照?』我又想:『如果有人行為上造作惡業,言語上造作惡業,意念上造作惡業,應當知道這些人是不自我關照的。如果有人行為上造作善業,言語上造作善業,意念上造作善業,應當知道這些人是自我關照的。』

English version: 'Moreover, if those who practice Pratyekabuddhahood, well-tamed and peaceful, exhaust their life span, they will ultimately enter Nirvana. The World Honored Ones, the Buddhas, possessing the ten powers, the four fearlessnesses, and roaring like a victorious lion, will also eventually relinquish their bodies and attain Parinirvana. By this analogy, Great King, you should know that all sentient beings, all insects, all deities, having birth, will inevitably die, and will ultimately perish; there is no one who does not die!' At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'All kinds of sentient beings, having life, will eventually die, each following the course of their karma, receiving the consequences of their good and evil deeds. Those who do evil fall into hell, those who do good ascend to heaven, those who cultivate the supreme and wondrous path, exhaust their defilements and enter Nirvana. The Tathagatas and Pratyekabuddhas, the Buddha's Sravaka disciples, will all relinquish their lives, how much more so the ordinary worldly people?' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, King Pasenadi, having heard the Buddha's teachings, rejoiced and praised, paid his respects, and departed. (1228) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, King Pasenadi, alone in a quiet place, was contemplating in meditation, thinking to himself: 'What is self-reflection? What is non-self-reflection?' He further thought: 'If someone engages in evil actions of body, evil actions of speech, and evil actions of mind, it should be known that such people are not self-reflecting. If someone engages in good actions of body, good actions of speech, and good actions of mind, it should be known that such people are self-reflecting.' Having awakened from meditation, he went to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and retreated to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I was alone in a quiet place, contemplating, thinking to myself: 'What is self-reflection? What is non-self-reflection?' I further thought: 'If someone engages in evil actions of body, evil actions of speech, and evil actions of mind, it should be known that such people are not self-reflecting. If someone engages in good actions of body, good actions of speech, and good actions of mind, it should be known that such people are self-reflecting.'


。』」

佛告大王:「如是,大王!如是,大王!若有行身惡行、行口惡行、行意惡行者,當知斯等為不自念。彼雖自謂:『為自愛念。』而實非自念。所以者何?無有惡知識所作惡不念者,所不念不愛者,所不愛所作如其自為自己所作者,是故斯等為不自念。

「若復,大王!行身善行、行口善行、行意善行者,當知斯等則為自念,斯等自謂:『不自愛惜己身。』然其斯等實為自念。所以者何?無有善友,于善友所作念者,唸作愛者,愛作如自為己所作者,是故斯等則為自念。」爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「謂為自念者,  不應造惡行,  終不因惡行,  令己得安樂。  謂為自念者,  終不造惡行,  造諸善業者,  令己得安樂。  若自愛念者,  善護而自護,  如善護國王,  外防邊境城。  若自愛念者,  極善自寶藏,  如善守之王,  內防邊境城。  如是自寶藏,  剎那無間缺,  剎那缺致憂,  惡道長受苦。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一二二九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴波斯匿王:『是的,大王!是的,大王!如果有人行為上造作惡行,言語上造作惡行,思想上造作惡行,應當知道這些人是不為自己著想的。他們雖然自認為:』這是爲了愛護自己。『但實際上並非為自己著想。為什麼呢?因為沒有哪個惡友所作的惡事是不被記掛的,不被記掛的就不會被愛,不被愛的所作所為就像是自己為自己做的一樣,所以這些人是不為自己著想的。 『如果,大王!有人行為上造作善行,言語上造作善行,思想上造作善行,應當知道這些人是為自己著想的,這些人自認為:』這不是在愛惜自己。『然而他們實際上是為自己著想的。為什麼呢?因為沒有哪個善友,對於善友所作的善事是不記掛的,記掛的就會被愛,被愛的所作所為就像是自己為自己做的一樣,所以這些人是為自己著想的。』當時,世尊又說了偈語: 『自以為是為自己著想的人,不應該造作惡行,最終不會因為惡行,讓自己得到安樂。 自以為是為自己著想的人,最終不會造作惡行,造作各種善業的人,才能讓自己得到安樂。 如果愛惜自己,就要好好守護自己,就像善於守護國家的國王,在外防守邊境城池一樣。 如果愛惜自己,就要極力守護自己的寶藏,就像善於守護的國王,在內防守邊境城池一樣。 像這樣守護自己的寶藏,一剎那都不能有間斷缺失,一剎那的缺失就會導致憂愁,在惡道中長久受苦。』 佛陀說完這部經后,波斯匿王聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (一二二九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version The Buddha told King Pasenadi, 'Yes, O King! Yes, O King! If there are those who engage in evil deeds of body, evil deeds of speech, and evil deeds of mind, know that these are not mindful of themselves. Though they think to themselves, 『This is for the sake of loving myself,』 in reality, it is not for their own sake. Why is that? Because there is no evil friend whose evil deeds are not remembered, what is not remembered is not loved, and what is not loved is like what one does for oneself, therefore these are not mindful of themselves. 'If, O King! There are those who engage in good deeds of body, good deeds of speech, and good deeds of mind, know that these are mindful of themselves. These think to themselves, 『This is not cherishing myself,』 yet in reality, they are mindful of themselves. Why is that? Because there is no good friend who does not remember the good deeds done by a good friend, what is remembered is loved, and what is loved is like what one does for oneself, therefore these are mindful of themselves.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 'Those who think they are mindful of themselves, should not commit evil deeds, ultimately they will not gain happiness through evil deeds. Those who think they are mindful of themselves, will ultimately not commit evil deeds, those who perform all kinds of good deeds, will gain happiness for themselves. If you cherish yourself, you must protect yourself well, just like a king who is good at protecting his country, defending the border cities from the outside. If you cherish yourself, you must diligently protect your treasures, just like a king who is good at guarding, defending the border cities from the inside. Protecting your treasures in this way, there should be no interruption or deficiency for even a moment, a moment of deficiency will lead to sorrow, and long suffering in the evil paths.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, King Pasenadi, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, paid his respects and departed. (1229) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


爾時,波斯匿王獨靜思惟,作如是念:「云何自護?云何不自護?」復作是念:「若有行身惡行、行口惡行、行意惡行者,當知斯等為不自護。若復行身善行、行口善行、行意善行者,當知斯等則為自護。」從禪覺已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我獨靜思惟,而作是念:『云何為自護?云何為不自護?』復作是念:『若有行身惡行、行口惡行、行意惡行者,當知斯等為不自護。若復行身善行、行口善行、行意善行者,當知斯等則為自護。』」

佛告大王:「如是,大王!如是,大王!若有行身惡行、行口惡行、行意惡行者,當知斯等為不自護,而彼自謂能自防護。像軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍以自防護,雖謂自護,實非自護。所以者何?雖護于外,不護于內。是故,大王!名不自護。大王!若復有行身善行、行口善行、行意善行者,當知斯等則為自護。彼雖不以象、馬、車、步四軍自防,而實自護。所以者何?護其內者,名善自護,非謂防外。」爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「善護于身口,  及意一切業,  慚愧而自防,  是名善守護。」

時,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去

現代漢語譯本: 當時,波斯匿王獨自靜靜地思考,心中這樣想:『怎樣才能算是自我保護?怎樣又算是不自我保護呢?』他又想:『如果有人做了身體的惡行、口頭的惡行、以及意念的惡行,應當知道這些人是不懂得自我保護的。如果有人做了身體的善行、口頭的善行、以及意念的善行,應當知道這些人才是懂得自我保護的。』從禪定中醒來后,他前往佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退到一旁坐下,對佛陀說:『世尊!我獨自靜靜地思考,心中這樣想:『怎樣才能算是自我保護?怎樣又算是不自我保護呢?』我又想:『如果有人做了身體的惡行、口頭的惡行、以及意念的惡行,應當知道這些人是不懂得自我保護的。如果有人做了身體的善行、口頭的善行、以及意念的善行,應當知道這些人才是懂得自我保護的。』 佛陀告訴波斯匿王:『是的,大王!是的,大王!如果有人做了身體的惡行、口頭的惡行、以及意念的惡行,應當知道這些人是不懂得自我保護的,而他們自己卻認為能夠自我保護。他們用象兵、馬兵、戰車兵、步兵來保護自己,雖然說是自我保護,實際上並不是真正的自我保護。這是為什麼呢?因為他們只是保護了外在,而沒有保護內在。所以,大王!這叫做不自我保護。大王!如果有人做了身體的善行、口頭的善行、以及意念的善行,應當知道這些人才是懂得自我保護的。他們雖然沒有用象兵、馬兵、戰車兵、步兵這四種軍隊來防衛自己,但實際上是真正的自我保護。這是為什麼呢?因為保護內在的人,才叫做真正懂得自我保護,而不是保護外在。』當時,世尊又說了偈語: 『善於守護自己的身、口、意,以及一切行為,以慚愧心來防範自己,這才是真正的善於守護。』 當時,波斯匿王聽了佛陀所說的話,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離開了。

English version: At that time, King Pasenadi was alone in quiet contemplation, thinking to himself: 'How does one protect oneself? How does one not protect oneself?' He further thought: 'If someone engages in evil actions of body, evil actions of speech, and evil actions of mind, know that such people do not protect themselves. If someone engages in good actions of body, good actions of speech, and good actions of mind, know that such people do protect themselves.' Having awakened from meditation, he went to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'Venerable One! I was alone in quiet contemplation, and I thought to myself: 'How does one protect oneself? How does one not protect oneself?' I further thought: 'If someone engages in evil actions of body, evil actions of speech, and evil actions of mind, know that such people do not protect themselves. If someone engages in good actions of body, good actions of speech, and good actions of mind, know that such people do protect themselves.' The Buddha said to the King: 'So it is, O King! So it is, O King! If someone engages in evil actions of body, evil actions of speech, and evil actions of mind, know that such people do not protect themselves, though they think they are protecting themselves. They use elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry troops to protect themselves, but though they call it self-protection, it is not true self-protection. Why is that? Because they protect the external, but not the internal. Therefore, O King! This is called not protecting oneself. O King! If someone engages in good actions of body, good actions of speech, and good actions of mind, know that such people do protect themselves. Though they do not use elephant, horse, chariot, and infantry troops to defend themselves, they are truly protecting themselves. Why is that? Because protecting the internal is called true self-protection, not protecting the external.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse: 'Well-guarded are body, speech, and mind, and all actions, with shame and self-restraint, this is called true protection.' Then, King Pasenadi, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and was pleased, paid his respects, and departed.


(一二三〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,波斯匿王獨靜思惟,作是念:「世少有人得勝妙財利能不放逸,能不貪著,能于眾生不起惡行。世多有人得勝妙財利起于放逸,增其貪著,起諸邪行。」作是念已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我獨靜思惟,作是念:『世間少有人得勝妙財,能于財利不起放逸,不起貪著,不作邪行。世多有人得勝妙財而起放逸,生於貪著,多起邪行。』」

佛告波斯匿王:「如是,大王!如是,大王!世少有人得勝妙財利能不貪著,不起放逸,不起邪行。世多有人得勝妙財利,于財放逸,而起貪著,起諸邪行。大王當知,彼諸世人得勝財利,于財放逸,而起貪著,作邪行者,愚癡人,長夜當得不饒益苦。大王!譬如獵師、獵師弟子,空野林中張網施罥,多殺禽獸,困苦眾生,惡業增廣。如是,世人得勝妙財利,于財放逸,而起貪著,造諸邪行,亦復如是。是愚癡人,長夜當得不饒益苦。」爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「貪慾于勝財,  為貪所迷醉,  狂亂不自覺,  猶如捕獵者,  緣斯放逸故,  當受大苦報。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去

現代漢語譯本 (一二三〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,波斯匿王獨自靜思,心中想道:『世上很少有人得到優厚的財富利益而不放縱自己,不貪戀執著,不對眾生做出惡行。世上很多人得到優厚的財富利益后,反而放縱自己,增加貪戀執著,做出各種邪惡的行為。』這樣想著,他就前往佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我獨自靜思,心中想道:『世上很少有人得到優厚的財富,能夠不因財富利益而放縱自己,不產生貪戀執著,不做邪惡的行為。世上很多人得到優厚的財富后,反而放縱自己,產生貪戀執著,做出各種邪惡的行為。』 佛陀告訴波斯匿王:『是的,大王!是的,大王!世上確實很少有人得到優厚的財富利益而不貪戀執著,不放縱自己,不做邪惡的行為。世上很多人得到優厚的財富利益后,反而因財富而放縱自己,產生貪戀執著,做出各種邪惡的行為。大王應當知道,那些世人得到優厚的財富利益后,因財富而放縱自己,產生貪戀執著,做出邪惡行為的人,是愚癡的人,他們將在漫長的黑夜裡遭受沒有利益的痛苦。大王!譬如獵人或獵人的弟子,在空曠的野外或森林中張網設陷,大量殺害禽獸,使眾生陷入困境,惡業不斷增長。同樣,世人得到優厚的財富利益后,因財富而放縱自己,產生貪戀執著,做出各種邪惡的行為,也是如此。這些愚癡的人,將在漫長的黑夜裡遭受沒有利益的痛苦。』當時,世尊又說了偈語: 『貪戀優厚的財富,被貪慾迷惑沉醉, 狂亂而不知覺醒,猶如捕獵之人, 因為這種放縱的緣故,將遭受巨大的痛苦報應。』 佛陀說完這部經后,波斯匿王聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。

English version (1230) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, King Pasenadi of Kosala, while alone in quiet contemplation, thought to himself: 'There are few people in the world who, upon gaining great wealth and benefits, can avoid being heedless, can avoid being attached, and can avoid committing evil deeds towards living beings. There are many people in the world who, upon gaining great wealth and benefits, become heedless, increase their attachment, and commit various evil acts.' Having thought this, he went to where the Buddha was, bowed down at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, while alone in quiet contemplation, I thought to myself: 'There are few people in the world who, upon gaining great wealth, can avoid being heedless due to wealth and benefits, can avoid being attached, and can avoid committing evil acts. There are many people in the world who, upon gaining great wealth, become heedless, develop attachment, and commit various evil acts.' The Buddha said to King Pasenadi: 'So it is, great king! So it is, great king! There are indeed few people in the world who, upon gaining great wealth and benefits, can avoid being attached, avoid being heedless, and avoid committing evil acts. There are many people in the world who, upon gaining great wealth and benefits, become heedless due to wealth, develop attachment, and commit various evil acts. Great king, you should know that those people in the world who, upon gaining great wealth and benefits, become heedless due to wealth, develop attachment, and commit evil acts, are foolish people, and they will suffer unprofitable pain for a long night. Great king! It is like a hunter or a hunter's apprentice who, in an empty field or forest, sets up nets and snares, killing many birds and beasts, causing suffering to living beings, and increasing their evil karma. Similarly, those people in the world who, upon gaining great wealth and benefits, become heedless due to wealth, develop attachment, and commit various evil acts, are also like that. These foolish people will suffer unprofitable pain for a long night.' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 'Greed for great wealth, intoxicated by greed, Confused and unaware, like a hunter, Because of this heedlessness, they will suffer great retribution.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, King Pasenadi, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and was pleased, paid homage, and departed.


(一二三一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,波斯匿王于正殿上自觀察王事,見勝剎利大姓、見勝婆羅門大姓、見勝長者大姓因貪慾故,欺詐妄語,即作是念:「止此斷事!息此斷事!我更不復親臨斷事;我有賢子,當令斷事。云何自見此勝剎利大姓、婆羅門大姓、長者大姓為貪慾故,欺詐妄語?」

時,波斯匿王作是念已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我于殿上自斷王事,見諸勝剎利大姓、婆羅門大姓,長者大姓為貪利故,欺詐妄語。世尊!我見是事已,作是念:『我從今日,止此斷事,息此斷事;我有賢子,當令其斷。不親自見此勝剎利大姓、婆羅門大姓、長者大姓緣貪利故,欺詐妄語。』」

佛告波斯匿王:「如是,大王!如是,大王!彼勝剎利大姓、婆羅門大姓、長者大姓因貪利故,欺詐妄語,彼愚癡人長夜當得不饒益苦!大王當知,譬如漁師、漁師弟子,于河溪谷截流張網,殘殺眾生,令遭大苦

現代漢語譯本 (一二三一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,波斯匿王在正殿上親自處理國家事務,看到那些高貴的剎帝利大姓、高貴的婆羅門大姓、高貴的長者大姓因為貪慾的緣故,欺騙說謊,就產生這樣的想法:『停止處理這些案件!停止處理這些案件!我不再親自處理案件了;我有賢能的兒子,應當讓他來處理案件。為什麼自己要看到這些高貴的剎帝利大姓、婆羅門大姓、長者大姓因為貪慾的緣故,欺騙說謊呢?』 當時,波斯匿王產生這樣的想法后,就前往佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我在殿上親自處理國家事務,看到那些高貴的剎帝利大姓、婆羅門大姓、長者大姓因為貪利的緣故,欺騙說謊。世尊!我看到這些事後,就產生這樣的想法:『我從今天起,停止處理這些案件,停止處理這些案件;我有賢能的兒子,應當讓他來處理。不再親自看到這些高貴的剎帝利大姓、婆羅門大姓、長者大姓因為貪利的緣故,欺騙說謊。』』 佛陀告訴波斯匿王:『是的,大王!是的,大王!那些高貴的剎帝利大姓、婆羅門大姓、長者大姓因為貪利的緣故,欺騙說謊,那些愚癡的人長夜將遭受不利和痛苦!大王應當知道,譬如漁夫、漁夫的弟子,在河流溪谷截斷水流張網,殘殺眾生,使他們遭受巨大的痛苦。

English version (1231) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, King Pasenadi of Kosala, while observing the affairs of state in his royal palace, saw that the noble Kshatriya families, the noble Brahmin families, and the noble wealthy families, due to their greed, were deceitful and spoke falsely. He then thought to himself: 'I will cease these judgments! I will cease these judgments! I will no longer personally preside over these judgments; I have a worthy son who should handle these matters. Why should I personally witness these noble Kshatriya families, Brahmin families, and wealthy families being deceitful and speaking falsely due to their greed?' Having thought this, King Pasenadi went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side. He said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, while I was in the palace personally handling state affairs, I saw that the noble Kshatriya families, Brahmin families, and wealthy families, due to their greed for gain, were deceitful and spoke falsely. Venerable Sir, having seen this, I thought to myself: 'From this day forward, I will cease these judgments, I will cease these judgments; I have a worthy son who should handle them. I will no longer personally witness these noble Kshatriya families, Brahmin families, and wealthy families being deceitful and speaking falsely due to their greed for gain.' The Buddha said to King Pasenadi: 'So it is, great king! So it is, great king! Those noble Kshatriya families, Brahmin families, and wealthy families, due to their greed for gain, are deceitful and speak falsely. Those foolish people will suffer disadvantage and pain for a long time! Great king, you should know that, just as fishermen and their disciples cut off the flow of rivers and streams to cast their nets, killing living beings and causing them great suffering.'


。如是,大王!彼勝剎利大姓、婆羅門大姓、長者大姓因貪利故,欺詐妄語,長夜當得不饒益苦!」爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「于財起貪慾,  貪慾所迷醉,  狂亂不自覺,  猶如漁捕者,  緣斯惡業故,  當受劇苦報。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一二三二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,波斯匿王來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!此舍衛國有長者,名摩訶男,多財巨富,藏積真金至百千億,況復余財!世尊!摩訶男長者如是巨富,作如是食用:食粗碎米、食豆羹、食腐敗姜,著粗布衣、單皮革屣,乘羸敗車,戴樹葉蓋,未曾聞其供養施與沙門、婆羅門,給恤貧苦、行路頓乏、諸乞丐者;閉門而食,莫令沙門、婆羅門、貧窮、行路、諸乞丐者見之。」

佛告波斯匿王:「此非正士,得勝財利,不自受用,不知供養父母,供給妻子、宗親、眷屬,恤諸僕使,施與知識,不知隨時供給沙門、婆羅門,種勝福田,崇向勝處,長受安樂,未來生天。得勝財物,不知廣用,收其大利。大王!譬如曠野湖池聚水,無有受用、洗浴、飲者,即于澤中煎熬消盡

『是的,大王!』那些出身高貴的剎帝利、婆羅門和長者,因為貪圖利益,欺騙說謊,長久以來將遭受不利和痛苦!』當時,世尊又說了偈語: 『因財富而生貪慾,被貪慾迷惑沉醉,狂亂而不知覺,就像捕魚的人一樣,因為這些惡業,將遭受巨大的痛苦報應。』 佛陀說完這部經后,波斯匿王聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (一二三二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,波斯匿王來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!這舍衛國有一位長者,名叫摩訶男,他非常富有,積攢的真金多達百千億,更不用說其他的財富了!世尊!摩訶男長者如此富有,卻過著這樣的生活:吃粗糙的碎米,喝豆子做的羹湯,吃腐爛的生薑,穿粗布衣服,穿單層的皮革鞋子,乘坐破舊的馬車,戴著樹葉做的帽子,從未聽說他供養佈施給沙門、婆羅門,救濟貧困、旅途勞頓、乞討的人;他關起門來吃飯,不讓沙門、婆羅門、貧窮的人、旅途勞頓的人、乞討的人看見。』 佛陀告訴波斯匿王:『這個人不是正人君子,他獲得了巨大的財富,卻不自己享用,也不知道供養父母,供給妻子、親戚、眷屬,照顧僕人,佈施給朋友,也不知道按時供養沙門、婆羅門,種植殊勝的福田,追求美好的去處,長久享受安樂,未來升入天界。他獲得了巨大的財富,卻不知道廣泛使用,從而獲得巨大的利益。大王!譬如曠野的湖泊積聚了水,卻沒有人享用、洗浴、飲用,這些水就會在沼澤中被蒸發耗盡。』

'Yes, O king!' Those of noble Kshatriya, Brahmin, and householder lineages, due to greed for gain, deceive and lie, and for a long time will suffer disadvantage and pain!' At that time, the Blessed One spoke a verse: 'From wealth arises greed, by greed they are deluded and intoxicated, they are confused and unaware, like fishermen, because of these evil deeds, they will suffer great painful retribution.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, King Pasenadi, having heard the Buddha's teachings, rejoiced and praised, paid his respects, and departed. (1232) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, King Pasenadi came to the Buddha's place, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir! In this Savatthi, there is a householder named Mahanama, who is very wealthy, having accumulated true gold to the amount of hundreds of thousands of millions, not to mention other wealth! Venerable Sir! Householder Mahanama, being so wealthy, lives in this way: he eats coarse broken rice, eats bean soup, eats rotten ginger, wears coarse cloth clothes, wears single-layered leather shoes, rides in a dilapidated cart, wears a hat made of leaves, and it has never been heard that he has offered alms to ascetics or Brahmins, or provided for the poor, the weary travelers, or beggars; he eats behind closed doors, not allowing ascetics, Brahmins, the poor, weary travelers, or beggars to see him.' The Buddha said to King Pasenadi: 'This is not a righteous person, having obtained great wealth, he does not enjoy it himself, nor does he know to provide for his parents, provide for his wife, relatives, and family, care for his servants, give to his friends, nor does he know to provide for ascetics and Brahmins at the proper time, to plant a field of superior merit, to aspire to a superior place, to enjoy peace and happiness for a long time, and to be reborn in heaven in the future. Having obtained great wealth, he does not know to use it widely, thereby obtaining great benefit. O king! It is like a lake in the wilderness that has accumulated water, but there is no one to enjoy it, bathe in it, or drink from it, and that water will be evaporated and exhausted in the swamp.'


。如是,不善士夫得勝財物,乃至不廣受用,收其大利,如彼池水。

「大王!有善男子得勝財利,快樂受用,供養父母,供給妻子、宗親、眷屬,給恤僕使,施諸知識,時時供養沙門、婆羅門,種勝福田,崇向勝處,未來生天。得勝錢財,能廣受用,倍收大利。譬如,大王!聚落、城郭邊有池水,澄凈清涼,樹林蔭覆,令人受樂,多眾受用,乃至禽獸。如是,善男子得勝妙財,自供快樂,供養父母,乃至種勝福田,廣收大利。」爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「曠野湖池水,  清涼極鮮凈,  無有受用者,  即于彼消盡。  如是勝妙財,  惡士夫所得,  不能自受用,  亦不供恤彼。  徒自苦積聚,  聚已而自喪,  慧者得勝財,  能自樂受用。  廣施作功德,  及與親眷屬,  隨所應給與,  如牛王領眾。  施與及受用,  不失所應者,  乘理而壽終,  生天受福樂。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一二三三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,舍衛國有長者,名摩訶男,命終無有兒息。波斯匿王以無子、無親屬之財,悉入王家

現代漢語譯本:如果這樣,不善良的人即使獲得了財富,也不能充分享用,反而像池塘里的水一樣,最終無法發揮其應有的作用。 大王啊!有善良的人獲得財富后,會快樂地享用,供養父母,照顧妻子、親戚、眷屬,給僕人提供幫助,佈施給有學識的人,時常供養僧人和婆羅門,以此種下殊勝的福田,追求美好的歸宿,未來可以昇天。他們獲得財富后,能夠充分利用,從而獲得更大的利益。就像大王您所看到的,在村落或城郭旁邊,有清澈涼爽的池水,樹木成蔭,令人感到舒適,許多人甚至鳥獸都可以享用。同樣,善良的人獲得美好的財富后,自己快樂地享用,供養父母,乃至種下殊勝的福田,從而獲得更大的利益。』這時,世尊又說了偈語: 『曠野中的湖泊池水,清澈涼爽又幹凈,如果沒有人享用,就會逐漸乾涸消失。同樣,美好的財富,如果被不善良的人獲得,他們既不能自己享用,也不能用來幫助他人。他們只是徒勞地積聚,積聚之後又會失去。有智慧的人獲得財富后,能夠自己快樂地享用,廣泛地佈施,做功德,也給親戚眷屬提供幫助,根據需要給予他們,就像牛王帶領牛群一樣。佈施和享用,都不會失去應有的,這樣合乎道理地度過一生,最終可以昇天享受福樂。』 佛陀說完這部經后,波斯匿王聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離開了。 (一二三三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,舍衛國有一位名叫摩訶男的長者,去世后沒有留下子嗣。波斯匿王因為他沒有兒子和親屬,就將他的財產全部收歸王室。

English version: If so, an unvirtuous person, even if they gain wealth, cannot fully enjoy it, and it's like water in a pond that ultimately cannot serve its purpose. 『O King! A virtuous man, having gained wealth, enjoys it happily, supports his parents, provides for his wife, relatives, and dependents, gives aid to servants, donates to the learned, and regularly offers to monks and Brahmins, thus planting seeds of great merit, striving for a good destination, and in the future, they can be reborn in heaven. Having gained wealth, they can make full use of it, thereby gaining even greater benefits. Just as, O King, you see a pond near a village or city, clear and cool, shaded by trees, making people feel comfortable, and many, even birds and beasts, can enjoy it. Similarly, a virtuous man, having gained wonderful wealth, enjoys it happily himself, supports his parents, and even plants seeds of great merit, thereby gaining even greater benefits.』 At this time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 『The water in a lake or pond in the wilderness, clear, cool, and pure, if no one uses it, it will gradually dry up and disappear. Similarly, wonderful wealth, if gained by an unvirtuous person, they can neither enjoy it themselves nor use it to help others. They only accumulate it in vain, and after accumulating it, they will lose it. A wise person, having gained wealth, can enjoy it happily themselves, give generously, do good deeds, and also provide help to relatives and dependents, giving them according to their needs, just like a bull king leading a herd of cattle. Giving and enjoying, they will not lose what is due, and thus they live their lives in accordance with reason, and ultimately they can be reborn in heaven and enjoy happiness.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, King Pasenadi, having heard the Buddha's teachings, rejoiced and praised, bowed, and departed. (1233) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika in Sravasti. At that time, there was an elder in Sravasti named Mahānāma, who passed away without leaving any children. King Pasenadi, because he had no sons or relatives, took all of his property into the royal treasury.


。波斯匿王日日挍閱財物,身蒙塵土,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告波斯匿王:「大王!從何所來?身蒙塵土,似有疲惓。」

波斯匿王白佛:「世尊!此國長者摩訶男命終,有無子之財,悉入王家。瞻視料理,致令疲勞,塵土坌身,從其舍來。」

佛問波斯匿王:「彼摩訶男長者大富多財耶?」

波斯匿王白佛:「大富,世尊!錢財甚多,百千巨億金錢寶物,況復余財!世尊!彼摩訶男在世之時,粗衣惡食……」如上廣說。

佛告波斯匿王:「彼摩訶男過去世時,遇多迦羅尸棄辟支佛,施一飯食,非凈信心,不恭敬與,不自手與,施后變悔,言:『此飯食自可供給我諸僕使,無辜持用,施於沙門!』由是施福,七反往生三十三天,七反生此舍衛國中最勝族姓,最富錢財。以彼施辟支佛時,不凈信心,不手自與,不恭敬與,施后隨悔故,在所生處,雖得財富,猶故受用粗衣、粗食、粗弊臥具、屋舍、車乘,初不嘗得上妙色、聲、香、味、觸,以自安身。

「複次,大王!時,彼摩訶男長者殺其異母兄,取其財物,緣斯罪故,經百千歲,墮地獄中,彼餘罪報生舍衛國,七反受身,常以無子,財沒入王家

現代漢語譯本:波斯匿王每天都清點查閱財物,身上沾滿了塵土,來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首行禮,然後退到一旁坐下。 這時,世尊告訴波斯匿王:『大王,你從哪裡來?身上沾滿了塵土,看起來很疲憊。』 波斯匿王對佛陀說:『世尊,我們國家一位名叫摩訶男的長者去世了,他沒有兒子,他的所有財產都歸了王室。我一直在檢視和處理這些財產,所以感到很疲勞,身上沾滿了塵土,我是從他家來的。』 佛陀問波斯匿王:『那位摩訶男長者非常富有嗎?』 波斯匿王對佛陀說:『非常富有,世尊!他的錢財非常多,有成百上千巨億的金錢和寶物,更不用說其他的財產了!世尊,那位摩訶男在世的時候,卻穿著粗糙的衣服,吃著粗劣的食物……』(此處省略了詳細的描述)。 佛陀告訴波斯匿王:『那位摩訶男在過去世的時候,遇到了一位名叫多迦羅尸棄的辟支佛,他佈施了一頓飯食,但不是出於清凈的信心,也沒有恭敬地給予,不是親自給予,佈施后又後悔,說:『這飯食本來可以給我那些僕人使用,卻無緣無故地拿去佈施給沙門!』因為這個佈施的福報,他七次往生到三十三天,七次出生在這個舍衛國中最尊貴的家族,擁有最多的錢財。因為他佈施給辟支佛的時候,不是出於清凈的信心,不是親自給予,沒有恭敬地給予,佈施后又後悔,所以他無論出生在哪裡,雖然得到了財富,仍然只能享用粗糙的衣服、粗劣的食物、粗陋的臥具、房屋和車乘,從來沒有享用過上妙的色、聲、香、味、觸來安身。 『此外,大王,當時,那位摩訶男長者還殺害了他的異母哥哥,奪取了他的財物,因為這個罪過,他經歷了百千年的地獄之苦,他剩餘的罪報使他出生在舍衛國,七次受生,總是沒有兒子,財產最終都歸入王室。』

English version: King Pasenadi, covered in dust from inspecting his wealth daily, came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then sat to one side. At that time, the World Honored One said to King Pasenadi, 'Great King, where have you come from? You are covered in dust and look weary.' King Pasenadi replied to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, a wealthy elder named Mahānāma in our kingdom has passed away. He had no sons, so all his wealth has gone to the royal family. I have been overseeing and managing this property, which has made me tired and covered in dust. I came from his house.' The Buddha asked King Pasenadi, 'Was that elder Mahānāma very wealthy?' King Pasenadi replied to the Buddha, 'Very wealthy, World Honored One! He had a great deal of money, hundreds of thousands of millions of gold coins and treasures, not to mention other possessions! World Honored One, when that Mahānāma was alive, he wore coarse clothes and ate poor food...' (detailed description omitted). The Buddha told King Pasenadi, 'In a past life, that Mahānāma encountered a Pratyekabuddha named Takaraśikhin and offered him a meal, but not with pure faith, nor respectfully, nor did he give it with his own hands. After giving, he regretted it, saying, 『This meal could have been used for my servants, but I have given it to a śramaṇa for no reason!』 Because of this act of giving, he was reborn in the Thirty-three Heavens seven times, and seven times he was born in this Śrāvastī, in the most noble family, with the most wealth. Because when he gave to the Pratyekabuddha, it was not with pure faith, not given with his own hands, not given respectfully, and he regretted it after giving, therefore, wherever he was born, although he obtained wealth, he still had to use coarse clothes, poor food, crude bedding, houses, and vehicles, and never experienced the wonderful sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches to comfort himself.' 'Furthermore, Great King, at that time, that elder Mahānāma also killed his half-brother and took his wealth. Because of this sin, he suffered in hell for hundreds of thousands of years. The remaining karmic retribution caused him to be born in Śrāvastī seven times, always without sons, and his wealth ultimately went to the royal family.'


。大王!摩訶男長者今此壽終,過去施報盡,於此身,以彼慳貪,于財放逸,因造過惡,於此命終已,墮地獄受極苦惱!」

波斯匿王白佛言:「世尊!摩訶男長者命終已,入地獄受苦痛耶?」

佛言:「如是,大王!已入地獄!」

時,波斯匿王念彼悲泣,以衣拭淚,而說偈言:

「財物真金寶,  像馬莊嚴具,  奴僕諸僮使,  及諸田宅等。  一切皆遺棄,  裸神獨遊往,  福運數已窮,  永舍於人身。  彼今何所有,  何所持而去,  於何事不捨,  如影之隨形。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「唯有罪福業,  若人已作者,  是則己之有,  彼則常持去。  生死未曾舍,  如影之隨形,  如人少資糧,  涉遠遭苦難。  不修功德者,  必經惡道苦,  如人豐資糧,  安樂以遠遊。  修德淳厚者,  善趣長受樂,  如人遠遊行,  歲久安隱歸。  宗親善知識,  歡樂欣集會,  善修功德者,  此沒生他世。  彼諸親眷屬,  見則心歡喜,  是故當修福,  積集期永久。  福德能為人,  建立他世樂,  福德天所嘆,  等修正行故。  現世人不毀,  終則生天上

現代漢語譯本 『大王!摩訶男長者現在已經去世,他過去所積累的善報已經用盡。因為他生前慳吝貪財,放縱享樂,造作了許多惡業,所以死後墮入了地獄,正在遭受極大的痛苦!』 波斯匿王問佛陀:『世尊!摩訶男長者死後真的墮入地獄受苦了嗎?』 佛陀回答說:『是的,大王!他已經墮入地獄了!』 這時,波斯匿王想到摩訶男的遭遇,悲傷地哭泣起來,用衣袖擦拭眼淚,然後說道: 『財物、真金、寶藏, 大象、駿馬、華麗的裝飾, 奴僕、童僕、使女, 以及田地、宅院等等。 這一切都將被遺棄, 靈魂赤裸地獨自離去, 福報耗盡, 永遠離開人世。 他現在擁有什麼? 又帶走了什麼? 有什麼是無法捨棄的? 就像影子一樣緊隨其後。』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『只有罪業和福業, 如果人已經造作了, 這些才是真正屬於自己的, 它們會一直伴隨著他。 生死輪迴無法擺脫, 就像影子一樣緊隨其後。 就像一個人缺少旅途的資糧, 在遙遠的旅途中遭遇苦難。 不修功德的人, 必定會經歷惡道的痛苦。 就像一個人擁有充足的資糧, 可以安樂地遠遊。 修養德行深厚的人, 會在善道中長久享受快樂。 就像一個人遠行歸來, 多年後平安地回到家鄉。 親人、朋友、善知識, 歡喜地迎接他。 善於修習功德的人, 此生結束後會轉生到其他世界。 他的親戚眷屬, 見到他會感到歡喜。 所以應當修習福德, 積累福報以期長久。 福德能夠為人, 建立來世的快樂。 福德為天神所讚歎, 因為它等同於修正的行為。 在世時不會被人詆譭, 死後則會升入天界。』

English version 'Your Majesty! The elder Mahānāma has now passed away. His past meritorious deeds have been exhausted. Because of his stinginess and greed for wealth, and his indulgence in pleasures, he committed evil deeds. Therefore, after his death, he has fallen into hell and is suffering extreme torment!' King Pasenadi asked the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir! Has the elder Mahānāma truly fallen into hell to suffer after his death?' The Buddha replied, 'Yes, Your Majesty! He has already fallen into hell!' At that time, King Pasenadi, thinking of Mahānāma's fate, wept sadly, wiped away his tears with his robe, and then said: 'Wealth, gold, and treasures, Elephants, horses, and magnificent decorations, Servants, pages, and maids, And fields, houses, and so on. All of these will be abandoned, The soul will depart naked and alone, Merit exhausted, Forever leaving the human world. What does he possess now? What has he taken with him? What is it that cannot be abandoned? Like a shadow that follows closely behind.' At that time, the World Honored One answered with a verse: 'Only the deeds of sin and merit, If a person has already done them, These are truly his own, They will always accompany him. The cycle of birth and death cannot be escaped, Like a shadow that follows closely behind. Like a person who lacks provisions for a journey, Encounters hardship on a long trip. Those who do not cultivate merit, Will surely experience the suffering of evil paths. Like a person who has ample provisions, Can travel far in comfort. Those who cultivate virtue deeply, Will enjoy happiness in good realms for a long time. Like a person who returns from a long journey, Safely returns home after many years. Relatives, friends, and good acquaintances, Joyfully welcome him. Those who are skilled in cultivating merit, Will be reborn in other worlds after this life. Their relatives and family, Will be happy to see them. Therefore, one should cultivate merit, Accumulate blessings for the long term. Merit can for a person, Establish happiness in the next life. Merit is praised by the gods, Because it is equivalent to righteous conduct. One will not be criticized in this life, And will ascend to heaven after death.'


。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一二三四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,波斯匿王普設大會,為大會故,以千特牛行列繫住,集眾供具,遠集一切諸異外道,悉來聚集波斯匿王大會之處。

時,有眾多比丘亦晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食。聞波斯匿王普設大會……如上廣說,乃至種種外道皆悉來集。聞已,乞食畢,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我等今日眾多比丘晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,聞波斯匿王普設大會……」如上廣說,乃至種種異道集於會所。

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「月月設大會,  乃至百千數,  不如正信佛,  十六分之一。  如是信法僧,  慈念于眾生,  彼大會之福,  十六不及一。  若人於世間,  億年設福業,  于直心敬禮,  四分不及一。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二三五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這部經后,波斯匿王聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。

(一二三四)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,波斯匿王普遍設定盛大集會,爲了這個集會,用一千頭特選的牛排列繫住,聚集各種供養器具,從遠處召集一切不同的外道,都來到波斯匿王集會的地方。

當時,有許多比丘也在早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。聽到波斯匿王普遍設定盛大集會……如上面所詳細說的,乃至各種外道都聚集到一起。聽完后,乞食完畢,回到精舍,收拾好衣缽,洗完腳,前往佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,退到一旁坐下,對佛陀說:『世尊!我們今天許多比丘早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食,聽到波斯匿王普遍設定盛大集會……』如上面所詳細說的,乃至各種不同的道都聚集在集會場所。

當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『每月設定盛大集會, 乃至成百上千次, 不如對正信佛陀, 十六分之一的功德。 像這樣信奉佛法僧, 慈悲關懷眾生, 那集會的福報, 十六分之一都比不上。 如果有人在世間, 億年設定福業, 對以正直心敬禮, 四分之一都比不上。』

佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二三五)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, King Pasenadi, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid his respects, and departed.

(1234)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, King Pasenadi was holding a grand assembly. For the sake of this assembly, he had a thousand specially selected oxen lined up and tied, gathered various offerings, and summoned all the different non-Buddhist ascetics from afar, all of whom came to the place of King Pasenadi's assembly.

At that time, many monks also, in the morning, having put on their robes and taken their bowls, entered the city of Shravasti to beg for alms. They heard that King Pasenadi was holding a grand assembly... as described in detail above, even that various non-Buddhist ascetics had gathered together. Having heard this, after finishing their alms round, they returned to the monastery, put away their robes and bowls, washed their feet, and went to where the Buddha was. They bowed at the Buddha's feet, retreated to one side, and sat down, saying to the Buddha: 'Venerable One! Today, we, many monks, in the morning, having put on our robes and taken our bowls, entered the city of Shravasti to beg for alms, and heard that King Pasenadi was holding a grand assembly...' as described in detail above, even that various different paths had gathered at the assembly place.

At that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 'Setting up grand assemblies every month, even hundreds and thousands of times, Is not equal to the merit of having faith in the Buddha, one-sixteenth of it. Like this, having faith in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, with compassion for all beings, The merit of that assembly, is not equal to one-sixteenth of it. If a person in the world, sets up meritorious deeds for billions of years, It is not equal to one-fourth of the merit of paying respects with a sincere heart.'

After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

(1235)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


時,波斯匿王忿諸國人,多所囚執,若剎利、若婆羅門、若鞞舍、若首陀羅、若旃陀羅,持戒、犯戒,在家、出家,悉皆被錄,或鎖、或杻械、或以繩縛。

時,有眾多比丘晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,聞波斯匿王多所攝錄,乃至或鎖、或縛,乞食畢,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我等今日眾多比丘入城乞食,聞波斯匿王多所收錄,乃至鎖縛。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「非繩鎖杻械,  名曰堅固縛,  染污心顧念,  錢財寶妻子,  是縛長且固,  雖緩難可脫,  慧者不顧念,  世間五欲樂,  是則斷諸縛,  安隱永超世。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二三六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,波斯匿王、摩竭提國阿阇世王韋提希子共相違背。摩竭提王阿阇世韋提希子起四種軍——象軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,來至拘薩羅國。波斯匿王聞阿阇世王韋提希子四種軍至,亦集四種軍——象軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,出共鬥戰。阿阇世王四軍得勝,波斯匿王四軍不如,退敗星散,單車馳走,還舍衛城

現代漢語譯本 當時,波斯匿王因惱怒各國人民,便大肆抓捕,無論是剎帝利、婆羅門、吠舍、首陀羅還是旃陀羅,無論是持戒的還是犯戒的,無論是在家的還是出家的,都被抓了起來,有的被鎖上,有的被戴上枷鎖,有的被繩子捆綁。 當時,有許多比丘早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食,聽到波斯匿王大肆抓捕,甚至有人被鎖上或捆綁,乞食完畢,回到精舍,收好衣缽,洗完腳后,前往佛陀處,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我們今天許多比丘入城乞食,聽到波斯匿王大肆抓捕,甚至有人被鎖上或捆綁。』 這時,世尊就說了偈語: 『不是繩索枷鎖,才叫做堅固的束縛, 被染污的心所顧念的,是錢財、珍寶和妻子, 這種束縛既長久又牢固,雖然看似鬆緩卻難以解脫, 有智慧的人不顧念,世間的五種慾望享樂, 這樣才能斷除一切束縛,安穩地永遠超越世間。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一二三六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,波斯匿王和摩竭提國的阿阇世王韋提希之子互相敵對。摩竭提王阿阇世韋提希之子率領四種軍隊——象軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,來到拘薩羅國。波斯匿王聽到阿阇世王韋提希之子率領四種軍隊來犯,也集結了四種軍隊——象軍、馬軍、車軍、步軍,出兵與之交戰。阿阇世王的四軍獲勝,波斯匿王的四軍戰敗,潰散逃跑,獨自駕著車逃回舍衛城。

English version At that time, King Pasenadi, angered by the people of various countries, arrested many, whether they were Kshatriyas, Brahmins, Vaishyas, Shudras, or Chandalas, whether they were observing precepts or breaking them, whether they were laypeople or renunciates, all were taken into custody, some were chained, some were shackled, and some were bound with ropes. At that time, many monks, having put on their robes in the morning and carrying their bowls, entered the city of Shravasti to beg for alms. They heard that King Pasenadi had made many arrests, even chaining and binding people. After finishing their alms round, they returned to the monastery, put away their robes and bowls, washed their feet, and went to the Buddha. They bowed at the Buddha's feet, then sat down to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable One, today many of us monks entered the city to beg for alms and heard that King Pasenadi has made many arrests, even chaining and binding people.' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 'Not chains or shackles, are called the strongest bonds, The defiled mind's attachment, to wealth, treasures, and wives, These bonds are long and firm, though loose, they are hard to break, The wise do not cling, to the five worldly pleasures, Thus they break all bonds, and peacefully transcend the world forever.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (1236) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, King Pasenadi and King Ajatashatru, the son of Vaidehi of Magadha, were in conflict with each other. King Ajatashatru, the son of Vaidehi of Magadha, raised four kinds of armies—elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry—and came to the country of Kosala. King Pasenadi, hearing that King Ajatashatru, the son of Vaidehi, had come with four kinds of armies, also gathered four kinds of armies—elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry—and went out to fight against them. King Ajatashatru's four armies were victorious, and King Pasenadi's four armies were defeated, scattered, and fled. He drove his chariot alone and returned to the city of Shravasti.


時,有眾多比丘晨朝著衣持缽,入舍衛城乞食,聞摩竭提王阿阇世韋提希子起四種軍,來至拘薩羅國;波斯匿王起四種軍出共鬥戰,波斯匿王四軍不如,退敗星散,波斯匿王恐怖狼狽,單車馳走,還舍衛城。聞已,乞食畢,還精舍,舉衣缽,洗足已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我等今日眾多比丘入城乞食,聞摩竭提主阿阇世王韋提希子起四種軍……」如是廣說,乃至「單車馳走,還舍衛城。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「戰勝增怨敵,  敗苦臥不安,  勝敗二俱舍,  臥覺寂靜樂。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二三七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,波斯匿王與摩竭提王阿阇世韋提希子共相違背。摩竭提王阿阇世韋提希子起四種軍,來至拘薩羅國,波斯匿王倍興四軍,出共鬥戰。

波斯匿王四種軍勝,阿阇世王四種軍退,摧伏星散。波斯匿王悉皆虜掠阿阇世王象馬、車乘、錢財寶物,生禽阿阇世王身,載以同車,俱詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面

現代漢語譯本:當時,有許多比丘在早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入舍衛城乞食。他們聽說摩揭陀國王阿阇世,韋提希的兒子,率領四種軍隊來到拘薩羅國;波斯匿王也率領四種軍隊出戰。波斯匿王的軍隊不如對方,被打敗后潰散,波斯匿王驚恐狼狽,獨自乘車逃回舍衛城。比丘們聽到這些后,乞食完畢,回到精舍,放下衣缽,洗完腳,就去拜見佛陀,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我們今天許多比丘進城乞食,聽到摩揭陀國王阿阇世,韋提希的兒子,率領四種軍隊……』如此詳細地說了,直到『獨自乘車逃回舍衛城。』 這時,世尊就說了偈語:『戰勝會增加仇恨,戰敗會痛苦不安,捨棄勝敗兩種執著,就能安穩地睡著,清醒時也感到寂靜快樂。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地遵照奉行。 (一二三七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,波斯匿王和摩揭陀國王阿阇世,韋提希的兒子,互相敵對。摩揭陀國王阿阇世,韋提希的兒子,率領四種軍隊來到拘薩羅國,波斯匿王也增加四種軍隊,出戰迎敵。 波斯匿王的四種軍隊獲勝,阿阇世王的四種軍隊戰敗,被擊潰潰散。波斯匿王俘虜了阿阇世王的象、馬、戰車、錢財寶物,還活捉了阿阇世王本人,把他和自己同乘一輛車,一起去拜見佛陀,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁。

English version: At that time, many monks, having dressed in the morning and taken their bowls, entered the city of Sravasti to beg for alms. They heard that King Ajatasatru of Magadha, the son of Vaidehi, had raised four kinds of armies and come to the country of Kosala; King Prasenajit also raised four kinds of armies to go out and fight. King Prasenajit's armies were not as strong, and after being defeated, they scattered. King Prasenajit, terrified and in a state of disarray, fled alone in a chariot back to Sravasti. Having heard this, the monks finished begging for alms, returned to the monastery, put away their robes and bowls, washed their feet, and went to see the Buddha. They bowed at the Buddha's feet, then sat to one side and said to the Buddha, 'Venerable One, today many of us monks went into the city to beg for alms and heard that King Ajatasatru of Magadha, the son of Vaidehi, had raised four kinds of armies...' They spoke in detail, up to 'fled alone in a chariot back to Sravasti.' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke this verse: 'Victory breeds hatred, defeat causes suffering and unrest. By abandoning both victory and defeat, one can sleep peacefully and experience quiet joy when awake.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully followed his teachings. (1237) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, King Prasenajit and King Ajatasatru of Magadha, the son of Vaidehi, were in conflict with each other. King Ajatasatru of Magadha, the son of Vaidehi, raised four kinds of armies and came to the country of Kosala. King Prasenajit also increased his four kinds of armies and went out to fight. King Prasenajit's four kinds of armies were victorious, and King Ajatasatru's four kinds of armies were defeated, crushed, and scattered. King Prasenajit captured all of King Ajatasatru's elephants, horses, chariots, money, and treasures. He also captured King Ajatasatru himself alive, and they rode together in the same chariot to see the Buddha. They bowed at the Buddha's feet, then sat to one side.


。波斯匿王白佛言:「世尊!此是阿阇世王韋提希子,長夜於我無怨恨人而生怨結,於好人所而作不好;然其是我善友之子,當放令還國。」

佛告波斯匿王:「善哉!大王!放其令去,令汝長夜安樂饒益。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「乃至力自在,  能廣虜掠彼,  助怨在力增,  倍收己他利。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王及阿阇世王韋提希子聞佛所說。歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一二三八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,波斯匿王獨靜思惟,作是念:「世尊正法,現法離諸熾然,不待時節,通達現見,自覺證知此法,是善知識、善伴黨,非是惡知識、惡伴黨。」作是念已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我獨靜思惟,作是念:『世尊正法,現法離諸熾然,不待時節,通達現見,自覺證知,是則善知識、善伴黨,非惡知識、惡伴黨。』」

佛告波斯匿王:「如是,大王!如是,大王!世尊正法、律,現法離諸熾然,不待時節,通達現見,緣自覺知,是則善知識、善伴黨,非惡知識、惡伴黨。所以者何?我為善知識,眾生有生法者,解脫于生,眾生有老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦者,悉令解脫

現代漢語譯本:波斯匿王對佛說:『世尊!這是阿阇世王,韋提希的兒子,他長久以來對我沒有怨恨卻結下了怨仇,對好人做了壞事;然而他是我的好朋友的兒子,應當放他回國。』 佛告訴波斯匿王:『好啊!大王!放他走吧,讓他能使你長久安樂,得到利益。』當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『當力量強大,能夠廣泛地擄掠他人時,幫助仇敵只會增加他們的力量,反而會使自己和他人遭受更大的損失。』 佛說完這部經后,波斯匿王和阿阇世王,韋提希的兒子,聽了佛所說的話,都歡喜隨順,行禮后離開了。 (一二三八) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,波斯匿王獨自靜坐思考,心中想:『世尊的正法,在當下就能使人遠離煩惱的熾熱,不需要等待時間,能夠通達並親眼見到,自己覺悟並證知這個法,這是善知識、善伴侶,而不是惡知識、惡伴侶。』這樣想完后,就去到佛那裡,向佛的腳行禮,退坐在一旁,對佛說:『世尊!我獨自靜坐思考,心中想:『世尊的正法,在當下就能使人遠離煩惱的熾熱,不需要等待時間,能夠通達並親眼見到,自己覺悟並證知,這是善知識、善伴侶,而不是惡知識、惡伴侶。』 佛告訴波斯匿王:『是的,大王!是的,大王!世尊的正法和戒律,在當下就能使人遠離煩惱的熾熱,不需要等待時間,能夠通達並親眼見到,通過自己覺悟而證知,這是善知識、善伴侶,而不是惡知識、惡伴侶。為什麼呢?因為我是善知識,眾生有生老病死憂悲惱苦的,我都能讓他們解脫。』

English version: King Pasenadi said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, this is King Ajatasattu, the son of Vaidehi. For a long time, he had no resentment towards me, yet he has formed a grudge, doing bad things to good people. However, he is the son of my good friend, and he should be allowed to return to his country.' The Buddha told King Pasenadi, 'Good, O King! Let him go, so that he may bring you long-lasting peace and benefit.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse: 'When power is strong, able to widely plunder others, helping enemies only increases their strength, and will cause greater loss to oneself and others.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, King Pasenadi and King Ajatasattu, the son of Vaidehi, heard what the Buddha said, and were delighted and followed his teachings, bowed and left. (1238) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, King Pasenadi was alone in quiet contemplation, thinking, 'The World Honored One's true Dharma, in the present moment, can free one from the heat of afflictions, does not require waiting for time, can be understood and seen directly, and one can awaken and realize this Dharma for oneself. This is a good teacher, a good companion, not a bad teacher, a bad companion.' Having thought this, he went to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, I was alone in quiet contemplation, thinking: 'The World Honored One's true Dharma, in the present moment, can free one from the heat of afflictions, does not require waiting for time, can be understood and seen directly, and one can awaken and realize this Dharma for oneself. This is a good teacher, a good companion, not a bad teacher, a bad companion.' The Buddha told King Pasenadi, 'So it is, O King! So it is, O King! The World Honored One's true Dharma and discipline, in the present moment, can free one from the heat of afflictions, does not require waiting for time, can be understood and seen directly, and through one's own awakening, one can realize it. This is a good teacher, a good companion, not a bad teacher, a bad companion. Why is that? Because I am a good teacher, and for beings who have birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, and suffering, I can liberate them all.'


「大王!我於一時住王舍城山谷精舍。時,阿難陀比丘獨靜思惟,作是念:『半梵行者是善知識、善伴黨,非惡知識、惡伴黨。』作是念已,來詣我所,稽首我足,退坐一面,白我言:『世尊!我獨靜思惟,作是念:「半梵行者是善知識、善伴黨,非惡知識、惡伴黨。」』我時告言:『阿難!莫作是語,半梵行者是善知識、善伴黨,非惡知識、惡伴黨。所以者何?純一滿凈,梵行清白,謂善知識、善伴黨,非惡知識、惡伴黨。所以者何?我常為諸眾生作善知識。其諸眾生有生故,當知世尊正法,現法令脫于生;有老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦者,離諸熾然,不待時節,現令脫惱苦,見通達,自覺證知。是則善知識、善伴黨,非惡知識、惡伴黨。』」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「讚歎不放逸,  是則佛正教,  修禪不放逸,  逮得證諸漏。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一二三九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 『大王!我曾經在王舍城山谷的精舍居住。當時,阿難陀比丘獨自靜思,心中想道:『修行不圓滿的人是善知識、好同伴,而不是惡知識、壞同伴。』他這樣想后,來到我這裡,向我頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對我說:『世尊!我獨自靜思,心中想道:「修行不圓滿的人是善知識、好同伴,而不是惡知識、壞同伴。」』我當時告訴他:『阿難!不要這樣說,修行不圓滿的人是善知識、好同伴,而不是惡知識、壞同伴。為什麼呢?只有純粹圓滿、清凈無染的修行,才是善知識、好同伴,而不是惡知識、壞同伴。為什麼呢?我常常為眾生做善知識。那些有生老病死、憂愁悲傷、煩惱痛苦的眾生,應當知道世尊的正法,能讓他們當下脫離生死的束縛;對於那些有老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦的人,能讓他們脫離各種煩惱的煎熬,不需等待時日,當下就能脫離煩惱痛苦,見到真理,自覺自證。這才是善知識、好同伴,而不是惡知識、壞同伴。』當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『讚歎不放逸,這是佛陀的正教,修習禪定不放逸,就能證得諸漏盡。』 佛陀說完這部經后,波斯匿王聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜讚歎,行禮后就離開了。 (一二三九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version 'Great King! I once resided in the Vulture Peak Monastery in Rajagaha. At that time, the bhikkhu Ananda, while meditating alone, thought: 『One who has not fully completed the holy life is a good friend and companion, not a bad friend and companion.』 Having thought this, he came to me, bowed at my feet, sat down to one side, and said to me: 『Venerable Sir, while meditating alone, I thought: 「One who has not fully completed the holy life is a good friend and companion, not a bad friend and companion.」』 I then told him: 『Ananda, do not say that one who has not fully completed the holy life is a good friend and companion, not a bad friend and companion. Why is that? Only the pure, complete, and undefiled holy life is a good friend and companion, not a bad friend and companion. Why is that? I always act as a good friend for all beings. Those beings who experience birth should know that the Tathagata』s true Dharma can liberate them from birth in this very life; those who experience old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, distress, and suffering can be freed from all burning afflictions without delay, in this very life, and can see the truth, realize it for themselves, and know it. This is a good friend and companion, not a bad friend and companion.』 At that time, the Blessed One spoke these verses: 『Praising non-negligence, this is the Buddha』s true teaching; practicing meditation without negligence, one attains the eradication of all defilements.』 After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, King Pasenadi of Kosala, having heard the Buddha』s words, rejoiced and approved, paid homage, and departed. (1239) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta』s Grove, Anathapindika』s Park, in Savatthi.


時,波斯匿王獨靜思惟,作是念:「頗有一法修習多修習,得現法愿滿足、後世愿滿足、現法後世愿滿足不?」作是念已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我獨靜思惟,作是念:『頗有一法修習多修習,得現法愿滿足、得後世愿滿足、現法後世愿滿足不?』」

佛告波斯匿王:「如是,大王!如是,大王!有一法修習多修習,得現法愿滿足、得後世愿滿足、得現法後世愿滿足,謂不放逸善法。不放逸善法修習多修習,得現法愿滿足、得後世愿滿足、得現法後世愿滿足。

「大王!譬如世間所作粗業,彼一切皆依于地而得建立。不放逸善法亦復如是。修習多修習,得現法愿滿足、得後世愿滿足、得現法后法愿滿足。如力。如是種子、根、堅、陸、水、足、行、師子、舍宅,亦如是說。是故,大王!當住不放逸,當依不放逸。住不放逸、依不放逸已,夫人當作是念:『大王住不放逸、依不放逸,我今亦當如是住不放逸、依不放逸。』如是夫人,如是大臣、太子、猛將亦如是。國土人民應當念:『大王住不放逸、依不放逸,夫人、太子、大臣、猛將住不放逸、依不放逸,我等亦應如是住不放逸、依不放逸。』大王!若住不放逸、依不放逸者,則能自護

現代漢語譯本 當時,波斯匿王獨自靜靜地思考,心中想道:『是否有一種法,通過修習和反覆修習,能夠實現今生的願望圓滿、來世的願望圓滿,以及今生來世的願望都圓滿呢?』這樣想著,他就前往佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我獨自靜靜地思考,心中想道:『是否有一種法,通過修習和反覆修習,能夠實現今生的願望圓滿、來世的願望圓滿,以及今生來世的願望都圓滿呢?』 佛陀告訴波斯匿王:『是的,大王!是的,大王!有一種法,通過修習和反覆修習,能夠實現今生的願望圓滿、來世的願望圓滿,以及今生來世的願望都圓滿,那就是不放逸的善法。不放逸的善法通過修習和反覆修習,能夠實現今生的願望圓滿、來世的願望圓滿,以及今生來世的願望都圓滿。』 『大王!譬如世間所做的各種粗重工作,它們都依賴於土地才能建立。不放逸的善法也是如此。通過修習和反覆修習,能夠實現今生的願望圓滿、來世的願望圓滿,以及今生來世的願望都圓滿。就像力量一樣。種子、根、堅固、陸地、水、足、行走、獅子、房屋,也都可以這樣說。因此,大王!應當安住于不放逸,應當依靠不放逸。安住于不放逸、依靠不放逸之後,夫人應當這樣想:『大王安住于不放逸、依靠不放逸,我現在也應當這樣安住于不放逸、依靠不放逸。』像夫人一樣,大臣、太子、猛將也應當這樣。國土人民應當想:『大王安住于不放逸、依靠不放逸,夫人、太子、大臣、猛將安住于不放逸、依靠不放逸,我們也應當這樣安住于不放逸、依靠不放逸。』大王!如果安住于不放逸、依靠不放逸,就能自我保護』

English version At that time, King Pasenadi was alone in quiet contemplation, thinking to himself: 'Is there a single practice that, through cultivation and repeated practice, can fulfill the desires of this life, fulfill the desires of the next life, and fulfill the desires of both this life and the next?' Having thought this, he went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, I was alone in quiet contemplation, thinking to myself: 'Is there a single practice that, through cultivation and repeated practice, can fulfill the desires of this life, fulfill the desires of the next life, and fulfill the desires of both this life and the next?'' The Buddha said to King Pasenadi: 'Yes, great king! Yes, great king! There is a single practice that, through cultivation and repeated practice, can fulfill the desires of this life, fulfill the desires of the next life, and fulfill the desires of both this life and the next, and that is the virtuous practice of non-negligence. The virtuous practice of non-negligence, through cultivation and repeated practice, can fulfill the desires of this life, fulfill the desires of the next life, and fulfill the desires of both this life and the next.' 'Great king! Just as all the coarse work done in the world is established by relying on the earth, so too is the virtuous practice of non-negligence. Through cultivation and repeated practice, it can fulfill the desires of this life, fulfill the desires of the next life, and fulfill the desires of both this life and the next. It is like strength. The same can be said of seeds, roots, firmness, land, water, feet, walking, lions, and dwellings. Therefore, great king! One should abide in non-negligence, one should rely on non-negligence. Having abided in non-negligence and relied on non-negligence, the queen should think: 'The great king abides in non-negligence and relies on non-negligence, I too should now abide in non-negligence and rely on non-negligence.' Like the queen, the ministers, the crown prince, and the generals should also do the same. The people of the kingdom should think: 'The great king abides in non-negligence and relies on non-negligence, the queen, the crown prince, the ministers, and the generals abide in non-negligence and rely on non-negligence, we too should abide in non-negligence and rely on non-negligence.' Great king! If one abides in non-negligence and relies on non-negligence, one can protect oneself.'


。夫人、婇女亦能自保,倉藏財寶增長豐實。」爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「稱譽不放逸,  毀呰放逸者,  帝釋不放逸,  能主忉利天。  稱譽不放逸,  毀呰放逸者,  不放逸具足,  攝持於二義。  一者現法利,  二後世亦然,  是名無間等,  甚深智慧者。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一二四〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,波斯匿王獨靜思惟,作是念:「此有三法,一切世間所不愛念。何等為三?謂老、病、死。如是三法,一切世間所不愛念。若無此三法世間所不愛者,諸佛世尊不出於世,世間亦不知有諸佛如來所覺知法為人廣說。以有此三法世間所不愛念,謂老、病、死故,諸佛如來出興於世,世間知有諸佛如來所覺知法廣宣說者。」波斯匿王作是念已,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。以其所念,廣白世尊。

佛告波斯匿王:「如是,大王!如是,大王!此有三法,世間所不愛念,謂老、病、死,乃至世間知有如來所覺知法為人廣說。」爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「王所乘寶車,  終歸有朽壞,  此身亦復然,  遷移會歸老

現代漢語譯本:『夫人和婇女也能自我保護,倉庫里的財寶也會日益增長,變得豐實。』這時,世尊就說了偈語: 『讚美不放逸的人, 貶斥放逸的人, 帝釋因為不放逸, 才能主宰忉利天。 讚美不放逸的人, 貶斥放逸的人, 不放逸的人具足, 能把握住兩種利益。 一是現世的利益, 二是來世的利益, 這被稱為無間等, 是甚深智慧的人。』 佛說完這部經后,波斯匿王聽了佛所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 (一二四〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,波斯匿王獨自靜靜地思考,心中想:『這有三種法,是世間一切眾生都不喜歡、不樂意想的。哪三種呢?就是老、病、死。這三種法,是世間一切眾生都不喜歡、不樂意想的。如果沒有這三種世間不喜歡的法,諸佛世尊就不會出現於世,世間也不會知道有諸佛如來所覺悟的法,併爲人們廣泛宣說。正因為有這三種世間不喜歡的法,即老、病、死,所以諸佛如來才出現於世,世間才知道有諸佛如來所覺悟的法,並廣泛宣說。』波斯匿王這樣想后,來到佛的住所,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。把他所想的,詳細地告訴了世尊。 佛告訴波斯匿王:『是的,大王!是的,大王!這有三種法,是世間所不喜歡、不樂意想的,就是老、病、死,乃至世間才知道有如來所覺悟的法,併爲人們廣泛宣說。』這時,世尊又說了偈語: 『國王所乘坐的寶車, 最終也會有朽壞的時候, 這個身體也是這樣, 遷移變化終將衰老。』

English version: 『The ladies and concubines can also protect themselves, and the treasures in the storehouses will increase and become abundant.』 At that time, the World Honored One spoke the following verse: 『Praise those who are not negligent, Criticize those who are negligent, Because Indra was not negligent, He was able to rule the Trayastrimsa Heaven. Praise those who are not negligent, Criticize those who are negligent, Those who are not negligent are complete, They can grasp two kinds of benefits. One is the benefit of the present life, The other is the benefit of the next life, This is called uninterrupted equality, It is for those with profound wisdom.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, King Pasenadi, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed and departed. (1240) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, King Pasenadi was alone in quiet contemplation, thinking: 『There are three things that all beings in the world dislike and do not want to think about. What are the three? They are old age, sickness, and death. These three things are what all beings in the world dislike and do not want to think about. If there were not these three things that the world dislikes, the Buddhas, the World Honored Ones, would not appear in the world, and the world would not know that there are the dharmas that the Buddhas, the Tathagatas, have awakened to, and which are widely proclaimed to people. It is because there are these three things that the world dislikes, namely old age, sickness, and death, that the Buddhas, the Tathagatas, appear in the world, and the world knows that there are the dharmas that the Buddhas, the Tathagatas, have awakened to, and which are widely proclaimed.』 After King Pasenadi had thought this, he went to the Buddha's place, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. He told the World Honored One in detail what he had been thinking. The Buddha said to King Pasenadi: 『That is so, great king! That is so, great king! There are these three things that the world dislikes and does not want to think about, namely old age, sickness, and death, and it is because of these that the world knows that there are the dharmas that the Tathagatas have awakened to, and which are widely proclaimed to people.』 At that time, the World Honored One again spoke the following verse: 『The precious chariot that the king rides in, Will eventually decay and break down, This body is also like that, It will change and eventually grow old.』


。  唯如來正法,  無有衰老相,  稟斯正法者,  永到安隱處。  但凡鄙衰老,  丑弊惡形類,  衰老來踐蹈,  迷魅愚夫心。  若人壽百歲,  常慮死隨至,  老病競追逐,  伺便輒加害。」

佛說此經已,波斯匿王聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(一二四一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,給孤獨長者來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!若有人在我舍者,皆得凈信;諸在我舍而命終者,皆得生天。」

佛言:「善哉!善哉!長者!是深妙說,是一向受,于大眾中作師子吼言:『在我舍者,皆得凈信;及其命終,皆生天上。』有何大德神力比丘為汝說言:『凡在汝捨命終者,皆生天上

現代漢語譯本:只有如來的正法,沒有衰老之相。 稟受這正法的人,永遠到達安穩的境地。 但凡是卑劣的衰老,醜陋敗壞的惡劣形體, 衰老會踐踏而來,迷惑愚昧之人的心。 如果有人活到一百歲,常常擔憂死亡隨時到來, 衰老和疾病競相追逐,伺機就加以傷害。 佛陀說完這部經后,波斯匿王聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 《雜阿含經》卷第四十六 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 《雜阿含經》 《雜阿含經》卷第四十七 宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯 (一二四一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,給孤獨長者來到佛陀處所,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!如果有人在我家中的,都能得到清凈的信心;凡是在我家而去世的,都能往生天上。』 佛陀說:『好啊!好啊!長者!這是深奧微妙的說法,是一致的接受,在大眾中作獅子吼說:『在我家中的,都能得到清凈的信心;以及他們去世后,都能往生天上。』有什麼大德神力的比丘對你說:『凡是在你家中去世的,都能往生天上』?

English version: Only the Tathagata's true Dharma has no sign of aging. Those who receive this true Dharma will forever reach a place of peace and security. But all that is base and aging, ugly and corrupt forms, Aging comes trampling, bewitching the minds of foolish people. If a person lives to be a hundred years old, they constantly worry that death will come at any time, Old age and sickness chase each other, waiting for an opportunity to inflict harm. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, King Pasenadi, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid his respects, and departed. Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 46 Taisho Tripitaka, Vol. 02, No. 0099, Samyukta Agama Sutra Samyukta Agama Sutra, Scroll 47 Translated by Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India (1241) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the elder Anathapindika came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side, saying to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! If there are people in my house, they all attain pure faith; those who die in my house are all reborn in heaven.' The Buddha said: 'Excellent! Excellent! Elder! This is a profound and subtle statement, it is a unanimous acceptance, making a lion's roar among the assembly, saying: 'Those in my house all attain pure faith; and when they die, they are all reborn in heaven.' What great virtuous and powerful Bhikkhu told you: 'All those who die in your house are reborn in heaven'?


。』耶?」

長者白佛:「不也,世尊!」

復問:「云何?為比丘尼、為諸天、為從我所面前聞說?」

長者白佛:「不也,世尊!」

「云何?長者!汝緣自知見,知『在我捨命終者,皆生天上』耶?」

長者白佛:「不也,世尊!」

佛告長者:「汝既不從大德神力比丘所聞,非比丘尼、非諸天,又不從我面前聞說,復不緣自見知:『若有諸人於我捨命終者,皆生天上。』汝今何由能作如是甚深妙說,作一向受,于大眾中作師子吼,而作是言:『有人於我捨命終者,皆生天上。』?」

長者白佛:「無有比丘大德神力而來告我……」如上廣說,乃至「悉皆生天。世尊!然我有眾生主懷妊之時,我即教彼,為其子故,歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧;及其生已,復教三歸;及生知見,復教持戒。設復婢使、下賤客人懷妊及生,亦如是教。若人賣奴婢者,我輒往彼語言:『賢者!我欲買人。汝當歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧,受持禁戒。』隨我教者,輒授五戒,然後隨價而買;不隨我教,則所不取。若復止客,若傭作人,亦復先要受三歸五戒,然後受之。若復有來求為弟子,若復乞貸舉息,我悉要以三歸五戒,然後受之

『是這樣嗎?』 長者回答佛說:『不是的,世尊!』 佛又問:『那是怎麼回事呢?是比丘尼說的,還是諸天說的,還是從我這裡當面聽說的?』 長者回答佛說:『不是的,世尊!』 『怎麼回事呢,長者!你是憑自己的見解,知道『凡是在我家中去世的人,都升到天上』的嗎?』 長者回答佛說:『不是的,世尊!』 佛告訴長者:『你既然不是從有大德神力的比丘那裡聽說的,也不是比丘尼、諸天說的,又不是從我這裡當面聽說的,也不是憑自己的見解知道:『凡是在我家中去世的人,都升到天上。』你現在怎麼能做出如此深奧的論斷,如此肯定,在大眾中像獅子吼一樣,說出這樣的話:『凡是在我家中去世的人,都升到天上。』?』 長者回答佛說:『沒有有大德神力的比丘來告訴我……』像上面所說的那樣詳細地解釋,直到『都升到天上。世尊!然而,當我的家中有眾生主懷孕時,我就教導她,爲了她的孩子,皈依佛、皈依法、皈依比丘僧;等到孩子出生后,又教他三皈依;等到孩子有了知見,又教他持戒。如果婢女、僕人、客人懷孕或生產,我也這樣教導。如果有人賣奴婢,我就去對他說:『賢者!我想買人。你應當皈依佛、皈依法、皈依比丘僧,受持戒律。』凡是聽從我教導的,我就授予他五戒,然後按照價格購買;不聽從我教導的,我就不買。如果有人來我家住宿,或者做傭工,我也先要求他受三皈依五戒,然後才接納他。如果有人來求做我的弟子,或者借貸,我都要他先受三皈依五戒,然後才接納他。

'Is that so?' The elder replied to the Buddha, 'No, Venerable One!' He asked again, 'Then how is it? Was it a bhikkhuni, or the devas, or did you hear it spoken in my presence?' The elder replied to the Buddha, 'No, Venerable One!' 'How is it, elder! Do you know by your own insight that 'all those who die in my house are reborn in heaven'?' The elder replied to the Buddha, 'No, Venerable One!' The Buddha said to the elder, 'Since you have not heard it from a bhikkhu with great spiritual power, nor from a bhikkhuni, nor from the devas, nor have you heard it spoken in my presence, nor do you know by your own insight that 'all those who die in my house are reborn in heaven,' how can you make such a profound statement, so assertively, like a lion's roar in the assembly, saying, 'All those who die in my house are reborn in heaven'?' The elder replied to the Buddha, 'No bhikkhu with great spiritual power came to tell me...' as explained in detail above, until 'all are reborn in heaven. Venerable One! However, when a pregnant woman in my household is with child, I teach her, for the sake of her child, to take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha; and when the child is born, I teach him the three refuges; and when the child has understanding, I teach him to observe the precepts. If a maidservant, servant, or guest is pregnant or gives birth, I teach them in the same way. If someone sells a slave, I go to him and say, 'Good sir! I want to buy a person. You should take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, and observe the precepts.' Those who follow my teaching, I give them the five precepts, and then buy them according to the price; those who do not follow my teaching, I do not buy. If someone stays at my house, or works as a laborer, I also first require them to take the three refuges and the five precepts, and then accept them. If someone comes seeking to be my disciple, or to borrow money, I require them to take the three refuges and the five precepts first, and then accept them.'


。又復我舍供養佛及比丘僧時,稱父母名,兄弟、妻子、宗親、知識、國王、大臣、諸天、龍神,若存若亡,沙門、婆羅門、內外眷屬、下至僕使,皆稱其名,而為咒愿。又從世尊聞稱名咒愿因緣,皆得生天,或因園田佈施、或因房舍、或因床臥具、或因常施、或施行路,下至一摶施與眾生,此諸因緣,皆生天上。」

佛言:「善哉!善哉!長者!汝以信心,故能作是說。如來於彼有無上知見,審知汝舍有人命終,皆悉生天。」

爾時,給孤獨長者聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一二四二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當恭敬住,常當繫心,常當畏慎,隨他自在諸修梵行上、中、下座

現代漢語譯本:'我又在我的住所供養佛和比丘僧時,會稱念父母、兄弟、妻子、宗親、朋友、國王、大臣、諸天、龍神,無論是活著還是去世的,以及沙門、婆羅門、內外親屬,甚至下至僕人的名字,為他們祈福。我又從世尊那裡聽說,稱念名字祈福的因緣,都能使他們往生天界,或者因為佈施園田、或者因為佈施房舍、或者因為佈施床鋪臥具、或者因為經常佈施、或者因為修路,甚至下至一團食物施與眾生,這些因緣都能使他們往生天界。' 佛說:'好啊!好啊!長者!你因為有信心,所以能這樣說。如來對於這些有無上的知見,確實知道你家有人去世,都往生天界了。' 當時,給孤獨長者聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,行禮后離去。 (一二四二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:'應當恭敬安住,常常繫念於心,常常畏懼謹慎,對於那些隨順他人自在的修行梵行者,無論是上座、中座還是下座。'

English version: 'Furthermore, when I offer alms to the Buddha and the Sangha of monks at my residence, I invoke the names of my parents, siblings, wife, relatives, friends, the king, ministers, deities, and dragons, whether they are living or deceased, as well as ascetics, Brahmins, inner and outer family members, and even down to servants, and I offer blessings for them. I have also heard from the World Honored One that the merit of invoking names and offering blessings can lead to rebirth in the heavens, whether it is due to the donation of gardens and fields, or the donation of houses, or the donation of beds and bedding, or regular donations, or the construction of roads, or even down to a handful of food given to sentient beings, all these causes can lead to rebirth in the heavens.' The Buddha said, 'Excellent! Excellent! Elder! Because of your faith, you are able to say this. The Tathagata has supreme knowledge and insight into these matters, and truly knows that those who have passed away in your household have all been reborn in the heavens.' At that time, the Elder Anathapindika, upon hearing what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and followed with joy, paid his respects, and departed. (1242) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in the country of Shravasti. At that time, the World Honored One said to the monks, 'You should dwell with reverence, always keep your minds focused, always be fearful and cautious, and with regard to those who practice the Brahma-faring, who are free to follow others, whether they are of the senior, middle, or junior seat.'


。所以者何?若有比丘不恭敬住,不繫心,不畏慎,不隨他自在諸修梵行上、中、下座,而欲令威儀足者,無有是處!不備威儀,欲令學法滿者,無有是處!學法不滿,欲令戒身、定身、慧身、解脫身、解脫知見身具足者,無有是處!解脫知見不滿足,欲令得無餘涅槃者,無有是處!

「如是,比丘!當勤恭敬、繫心、畏慎,隨他德力諸修梵行上、中、下座,而威儀具足者,斯有是處!威儀具足已,而學法具足者,斯有是處,學法備足已,而戒身、定身、慧身、解脫身、解脫知見身具足者,斯有是處!解脫知見身具足已,得無餘涅槃者,斯有是處!是故,比丘!當勤恭敬、繫心、畏慎,隨他德力諸修梵行上、中、下座,威儀滿足,乃至無餘涅槃,當如是學。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二四三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有二凈法,能護世間。何等為二?所謂慚、愧。假使世間無此二凈法者,世間亦不知有父母、兄弟、姊妹、妻子、宗親、師長尊卑之序,顛倒渾亂,如畜生趣。以有二種凈法,所謂慚、愧,是故世間知有父母,乃至師長尊卑之序,則不渾亂,如畜生趣

現代漢語譯本:這是為什麼呢?如果有個比丘不恭敬地住著,不收攝心,不畏懼謹慎,不隨順其他在修行梵行上的上座、中座、下座,卻想要威儀具足,這是不可能的!威儀不具足,卻想要學法圓滿,這是不可能的!學法不圓滿,卻想要戒身、定身、慧身、解脫身、解脫知見身具足,這是不可能的!解脫知見不滿足,卻想要得到無餘涅槃,這是不可能的! 像這樣,比丘們!應當勤勉恭敬、收攝心、畏懼謹慎,隨順其他有德行的修行梵行的上座、中座、下座,這樣威儀才能具足,這是有可能的!威儀具足后,學法才能具足,這是有可能的!學法具足后,戒身、定身、慧身、解脫身、解脫知見身才能具足,這是有可能的!解脫知見身具足后,才能得到無餘涅槃,這是有可能的!因此,比丘們!應當勤勉恭敬、收攝心、畏懼謹慎,隨順其他有德行的修行梵行的上座、中座、下座,使威儀滿足,乃至得到無餘涅槃,應當這樣學習。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一二四三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有兩種清凈的法,能夠守護世間。哪兩種呢?就是慚和愧。假如世間沒有這兩種清凈的法,世間也就不知道有父母、兄弟、姐妹、妻子、宗親、師長尊卑的秩序,就會顛倒混亂,像畜生一樣。因為有這兩種清凈的法,就是慚和愧,所以世間才知道有父母,乃至師長尊卑的秩序,才不會混亂,像畜生一樣。』

English version: Why is that? If a bhikkhu dwells without respect, does not restrain his mind, is not fearful and cautious, and does not follow the senior, middle, and junior bhikkhus in the practice of the holy life, yet desires to have perfect deportment, this is impossible! If his deportment is not perfect, yet he desires to have the learning of the Dharma fulfilled, this is impossible! If the learning of the Dharma is not fulfilled, yet he desires to have the body of precepts, the body of concentration, the body of wisdom, the body of liberation, and the body of the knowledge and vision of liberation fulfilled, this is impossible! If the knowledge and vision of liberation are not fulfilled, yet he desires to attain the remainderless Nirvana, this is impossible! Thus, bhikkhus! One should diligently be respectful, restrain the mind, be fearful and cautious, and follow the senior, middle, and junior bhikkhus in the practice of the holy life who have virtue, and then one's deportment will be perfect, this is possible! When one's deportment is perfect, then the learning of the Dharma will be perfect, this is possible! When the learning of the Dharma is perfect, then the body of precepts, the body of concentration, the body of wisdom, the body of liberation, and the body of the knowledge and vision of liberation will be perfect, this is possible! When the body of the knowledge and vision of liberation is perfect, then one can attain the remainderless Nirvana, this is possible! Therefore, bhikkhus! One should diligently be respectful, restrain the mind, be fearful and cautious, and follow the senior, middle, and junior bhikkhus in the practice of the holy life who have virtue, so that one's deportment is perfect, and even attain the remainderless Nirvana, one should learn in this way. After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (1243) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 'There are two pure qualities that protect the world. What are the two? They are shame and embarrassment. If these two pure qualities did not exist in the world, the world would not know the order of parents, brothers, sisters, wives, relatives, teachers, and superiors and inferiors, and would be in chaos, like the animal realm. Because there are these two pure qualities, namely shame and embarrassment, therefore the world knows the order of parents, and even teachers and superiors and inferiors, and is not in chaos, like the animal realm.'


。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「世間若無有,  慚愧二法者,  違越清凈道,  向生老病死。  世間若成就,  慚愧二法者,  增長清凈道,  永閉生死門。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二四四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「有燒燃法、不燒燃法。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。

「云何燒燃法?若男、若女犯戒行惡不善法,身惡行成就,口、意惡行成就,若彼后時疾病困苦,沉頓床褥,受諸苦毒;當於爾時,先所行惡悉皆憶念。譬如大山,日西影覆。如是眾生先所行惡,身、口、意業諸不善法,臨終悉現,心乃追悔:『咄哉!咄哉!先不修善,但行眾惡,當墮惡趣,受諸苦毒。』憶念是已,心生燒燃,心生變悔;心生悔已,不得善心,命終後世,亦不善心相續生,是名燒燃法。

「云何不燒燃?若男子、女人受持凈戒,修真實法,身善業成就,口、意善業成就,臨壽終時,身遭苦患,沉頓床褥,眾苦觸身;彼心憶念先修善法,身善行,口、意善行成就,當於爾時,攀緣善法:『我作如是身、口、意善,不為眾惡,當生善趣,不墮惡趣

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊就說了這樣的偈語: 『世間如果沒有, 慚愧這兩種法, 就會違背清凈之道, 走向生老病死。 世間如果成就, 慚愧這兩種法, 就會增長清凈之道, 永遠關閉生死之門。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。

(一二四四)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『有燒燃法和不燒燃法。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說。』

『什麼是燒燃法?如果男子或女子犯戒作惡,行不善法,身行惡業成就,口、意惡業成就,如果他們後來生病困苦,臥床不起,遭受各種痛苦;當那時,他們會回憶起之前所做的一切惡行。就像大山,太陽西下時影子會覆蓋一樣。眾生之前所行的惡,身、口、意所造的各種不善之法,臨終時都會顯現,心中追悔莫及:『唉!唉!之前不修善,只行惡事,將要墮入惡道,遭受各種痛苦。』回憶起這些后,心中產生燒灼感,心中產生悔恨;心中產生悔恨后,就無法生起善心,命終後世,也不會有善心相續產生,這就是燒燃法。

『什麼是不燒燃法?如果男子或女子受持清凈戒律,修習真實之法,身善業成就,口、意善業成就,臨終時,身體遭受痛苦,臥床不起,各種痛苦纏身;他們會回憶起之前所修的善法,身善行,口、意善行成就,當那時,他們會攀緣善法:『我做了這樣的身、口、意善行,沒有做過惡事,將要生到善道,不會墮入惡道。

English version At that time, the World Honored One spoke these verses: 'If in the world there are not, the two dharmas of shame and remorse, They will transgress the pure path, and go towards birth, old age, sickness, and death. If in the world there are, the two dharmas of shame and remorse, They will increase the pure path, and forever close the gate of birth and death.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.

(1244)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, the World Honored One told the monks, 'There are burning dharmas and non-burning dharmas. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain them to you.'

'What are the burning dharmas? If a man or woman breaks the precepts and does evil, practices unwholesome dharmas, their evil bodily actions are accomplished, and their evil speech and mental actions are accomplished, if later they become sick and distressed, lying on their bed, suffering all kinds of pain; at that time, they will recall all the evil deeds they have done before. Just like a great mountain, when the sun sets, its shadow covers it. Likewise, the evil that sentient beings have done before, the various unwholesome dharmas of body, speech, and mind, will all appear at the time of death, and their hearts will be filled with regret: 'Alas! Alas! I did not cultivate good before, but only did evil, and I will fall into evil realms, suffering all kinds of pain.' Having recalled this, their hearts will feel burning, and their hearts will feel remorse; having felt remorse, they will not be able to generate good thoughts, and after death, their minds will not continue to generate good thoughts, this is called the burning dharma.

'What are the non-burning dharmas? If a man or woman upholds pure precepts, cultivates true dharmas, their good bodily actions are accomplished, and their good speech and mental actions are accomplished, when they are about to die, their bodies suffer pain, lying on their bed, all kinds of pain afflict them; they will recall the good dharmas they have cultivated before, their good bodily actions, and their good speech and mental actions are accomplished, at that time, they will cling to good dharmas: 'I have done such good bodily, speech, and mental actions, I have not done evil, I will be born in good realms, and will not fall into evil realms.'


。』心不變悔,不變悔故,善心命終,後世續善,是名不燒燃法。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「已種燒燃業,  依于非法活,  乘斯惡業行,  必生地獄中。  等活及黑繩,  眾合二叫呼,  燒燃極燒燃,  無澤大地獄。  是八大地獄,  極苦難可過,  惡業種種故,  各別十六處。  四周開四門,  中間量悉等,  鐵為四周板,  四門扇亦鐵。  鐵地盛火燃,  其焰普周遍,  縱廣百由旬,  焰焰無間息。  調伏非諸行,  考治強梁者,  長夜加楚毒,  其苦難可見。  見者生恐怖,  悚慄身毛豎,  墮彼地獄時,  足上頭向下。  止聖柔和心,  修行梵行者,  於此賢聖所,  輕心起非義。  及殺害眾生,  墮斯熱地獄,  宛轉於火中,  猶如火炙魚。  苦痛號叫呼,  如群戰象聲,  大火自然生,  斯由自業故。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二四五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「捨身惡行者,能得身惡行斷;不得身惡行斷者,我不說彼捨身惡行。以彼能得身惡行斷故,是故我說彼捨身惡行

現代漢語譯本:『心若不改變悔恨,因為不改變悔恨的緣故,善良的心在臨終時,來世會延續善良,這叫做不燒燃法。』 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『已經種下燒燃的業,依靠不合法的行為生活,乘坐這種惡業的行動,必定會生在地獄中。 等活和黑繩,眾合和二叫喚,燒燃和極燒燃,以及無澤大地獄。 這八大地獄,極其痛苦難以度過,因為各種惡業的緣故,各自有十六個地方。 四周開有四門,中間的量度都相等,四周的板是鐵做的,四門的門扇也是鐵的。 鐵地上燃燒著火焰,火焰普遍地周遍,縱橫一百由旬,火焰連綿不斷。 調伏不了自己的行為,考治那些強橫的人,長夜裡施加痛苦的刑罰,那種痛苦難以見到。 見到的人會感到恐懼,驚恐得汗毛豎立,墮入那個地獄時,腳朝上頭朝下。 停止聖潔柔和的心,修行清凈行為的人,對於這些賢聖的地方,輕慢地生起不合義理的行為。 以及殺害眾生的人,會墮入這種熱地獄,在火焰中翻滾,就像被火烤的魚一樣。 痛苦地號叫呼喊,像一群戰象的聲音,大火自然產生,這是由於自己所造的業的緣故。』 佛陀說完這部經后,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一二四五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『捨棄身體的惡行的人,能夠得到身體惡行的斷除;不能得到身體惡行斷除的人,我不說他捨棄了身體的惡行。因為他能夠得到身體惡行的斷除,所以我說他捨棄了身體的惡行。』

English version: 『If the mind does not change and repent, because it does not change and repent, a good mind at the end of life will continue goodness in the next life, this is called the non-burning law.』 At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 『Having sown the burning karma, living by unlawful actions, riding on this evil karma, one will surely be born in hell. Reviving and Black Rope, Collective and Two Cries, Burning and Extreme Burning, and the Great Hell of No Relief. These eight great hells, extremely painful and difficult to pass through, because of various evil karmas, each has sixteen places. There are four doors open on all sides, the measurements in the middle are all equal, the boards on all sides are made of iron, and the door leaves of the four doors are also iron. The iron ground is burning with flames, the flames are universally pervasive, a hundred yojanas in length and width, the flames are continuous. Those who cannot subdue their own actions, who punish the strong and violent, are subjected to painful tortures in the long night, the pain of which is difficult to see. Those who see it will feel fear, trembling with their hair standing on end, when falling into that hell, their feet are up and their head is down. Those who stop their holy and gentle hearts, who practice pure conduct, towards these virtuous places, lightly give rise to unrighteous actions. And those who kill living beings will fall into this hot hell, rolling in the flames, like a fish being roasted by fire. They cry out in pain, like the sound of a herd of war elephants, the great fire arises naturally, this is due to the karma they have created.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1245) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika in Sravasti. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 『One who abandons evil bodily conduct is able to attain the cessation of evil bodily conduct; one who is unable to attain the cessation of evil bodily conduct, I do not say that he has abandoned evil bodily conduct. Because he is able to attain the cessation of evil bodily conduct, therefore I say that he has abandoned evil bodily conduct.』


。身惡行者,不以義饒益安樂。眾生離身惡行,以義饒益,得安樂故,是故我說捨身惡行;口、意惡行亦如是說。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二四六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城金師住處。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「如鑄金者,積聚沙土,置於槽中,然後以水灌之,粗上煩惱、剛石堅塊隨水而去,猶有粗沙纏結。復以水灌,粗沙隨水流出,然後生金,猶為細沙、黑土之所纏結。復以水灌,細沙、黑土隨水流出,然後真金純凈無雜,猶有似金微垢。然後金師置於爐中,增火鼓韛,令其融液,垢穢悉除,然其生金猶故,不輕、不軟、光明不發,屈伸則斷。彼鍊金師、鍊金弟子復置爐中,增火鼓韛,轉側陶煉,然後生金輕軟光澤,屈伸不斷,隨意所作釵、鐺、镮、釧諸莊嚴具。

「如是,凈心進向比丘粗煩惱纏、惡不善業、諸惡邪見漸斷令滅,如彼生金,淘去剛石堅塊。

「複次,凈心進向比丘除次粗垢,欲覺、恚覺、害覺,如彼生金除粗沙礫。

「複次,凈心進向比丘次除細垢,謂親里覺、人眾覺、生天覺,思惟除滅,如彼生金除去塵垢、細沙、黑土

現代漢語譯本:'那些行為邪惡的人,不會因為正義而獲得饒益和安樂。眾生遠離身體的惡行,通過正義獲得饒益,從而得到安樂,因此我說要捨棄身體的惡行;口和意的惡行也是如此。' '佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。' '(一二四六)' '如是我聞:' '一時,佛陀住在王舍城金匠的住所。' '當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『就像鑄金的人,堆積沙土,放在槽中,然後用水澆灌,粗大的煩惱、堅硬的石塊會隨水流走,但仍然有粗沙纏繞。再次用水澆灌,粗沙會隨水流出,然後出現金子,但仍然被細沙和黑土纏繞。再次用水澆灌,細沙和黑土會隨水流出,然後純凈的金子就沒有任何雜質了,但仍然有像金子一樣的微小污垢。然後金匠將金子放入爐中,加大火力鼓風,使其融化,污垢全部去除,但金子仍然不輕、不軟、光澤不發,彎曲就會斷裂。鍊金師和鍊金弟子再次將金子放入爐中,加大火力鼓風,反覆錘鍊,然後金子變得輕軟光澤,彎曲不斷裂,可以隨意製作釵、鐺、環、釧等各種裝飾品。』 '『同樣,精進修行的比丘,粗大的煩惱纏縛、惡不善業、各種邪見會逐漸斷除,就像那剛出生的金子,淘去了堅硬的石塊。』 '『其次,精進修行的比丘會去除次粗的污垢,即慾念、嗔恨、傷害的念頭,就像那剛出生的金子去除了粗沙礫。』 '『其次,精進修行的比丘會去除細微的污垢,即親屬的念頭、人群的念頭、昇天的念頭,通過思考來去除,就像那剛出生的金子去除了塵垢、細沙和黑土。』

English version: 'Those who engage in evil deeds do not benefit from righteousness and happiness. Beings who abstain from evil bodily actions, benefit from righteousness, and thus attain happiness, therefore I say to abandon evil bodily actions; the same applies to evil verbal and mental actions.' 'After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.' ' (1246)' 'Thus have I heard:' 'At one time, the Buddha was staying at the residence of a goldsmith in Rajagriha.' 'At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 『Just like a goldsmith who gathers sand and soil, places it in a trough, and then pours water over it, the coarse afflictions and hard, solid pieces are carried away by the water, but there is still coarse sand clinging to it. Again, water is poured, and the coarse sand flows out with the water, and then gold appears, but it is still entangled with fine sand and black soil. Again, water is poured, and the fine sand and black soil flow out with the water, and then the pure gold is without any impurities, but there are still tiny impurities that resemble gold. Then the goldsmith places the gold in a furnace, increases the fire and bellows, causing it to melt, and all the impurities are removed, but the gold is still not light, not soft, and does not emit light, and it breaks when bent. The goldsmith and the goldsmith's apprentice place the gold in the furnace again, increase the fire and bellows, and repeatedly refine it, and then the gold becomes light, soft, and lustrous, does not break when bent, and can be made into various ornaments such as hairpins, earrings, rings, and bracelets.』 '『Similarly, a monk who diligently practices, gradually cuts off and eliminates coarse afflictions, evil unwholesome actions, and various wrong views, just like the newly formed gold, the hard, solid pieces are washed away.』 '『Furthermore, a monk who diligently practices removes the next level of coarse impurities, namely, thoughts of desire, anger, and harm, just like the newly formed gold removes coarse gravel.』 '『Furthermore, a monk who diligently practices removes the fine impurities, namely, thoughts of relatives, thoughts of crowds, and thoughts of being reborn in heaven, by contemplating and eliminating them, just like the newly formed gold removes dust, fine sand, and black soil.』


「複次,凈心進向比丘有善法覺,思惟除滅,令心清凈,猶如生金除去金色相似之垢,令其純凈。

「複次,比丘于諸三昧有行所持,猶如池水周匝岸持,為法所持,不得寂靜勝妙,不得息樂,盡諸有漏。如彼金師、金師弟子陶煉生金,除諸垢穢,不輕、不軟、不發光澤,屈伸斷絕,不得隨意成莊嚴具。

「複次,比丘得諸三昧,不為有行所持,得寂靜勝妙,得息樂道,一心一意,盡諸有漏。如鍊金師、鍊金師弟子陶煉生金,令其輕軟、不斷、光澤,屈伸隨意。

「複次,比丘離諸覺觀,乃至得第二、第三、第四禪。如是正受,純一清凈,離諸煩惱,柔軟真實不動。于彼彼入處,欲求作證悉能得證。如彼金師陶煉生金,極令輕軟、光澤、不斷,任作何器,隨意所欲。如是,比丘三昧正受,乃至於諸入處悉能得證。」

佛說此經已,時諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二四七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「應當專心方便,隨時思惟三相。云何為三?隨時思惟止相,隨時思惟舉相,隨時思惟舍相。若比丘一向思惟止相,則於是處其心下劣

現代漢語譯本 『再者,內心清凈並不斷精進的比丘,會覺知到善法,通過思考來去除雜念,使內心清凈,就像生金去除類似金色的雜質,使其純凈一樣。 『再者,比丘在各種禪定中受到『有行』的束縛,就像池水被四周的堤岸所限制一樣,被『有行』所束縛,就無法達到寂靜殊勝的境界,無法獲得止息的快樂,無法斷盡一切煩惱。就像金匠或金匠的徒弟冶煉生金,去除各種雜質,但此時的黃金不輕柔、不柔軟、不發光澤,彎曲時容易斷裂,不能隨意製成裝飾品。 『再者,比丘獲得各種禪定,不受『有行』的束縛,能夠達到寂靜殊勝的境界,獲得止息的快樂,一心一意,斷盡一切煩惱。就像鍊金師或鍊金師的徒弟冶煉生金,使其輕柔、不斷裂、有光澤,彎曲時隨意自如。 『再者,比丘捨棄各種覺觀,乃至證得第二禪、第三禪、第四禪。這樣正受禪定,純凈無雜,遠離一切煩惱,柔軟真實不動搖。對於各種入定境界,想要證得都能證得。就像金匠冶煉生金,使其極其輕柔、有光澤、不斷裂,可以隨意製作任何器物。同樣,比丘正受禪定,乃至對於各種入定境界都能證得。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀的教誨,歡喜奉行。 (一二四七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『應當專心方便,隨時思考三種狀態。哪三種呢?隨時思考止息的狀態,隨時思考奮起的狀態,隨時思考捨棄的狀態。如果比丘只是一味地思考止息的狀態,那麼他的心就會變得低劣。

English version 'Furthermore, a bhikkhu whose mind is pure and who progresses diligently has an awareness of wholesome qualities. Through contemplation, he eliminates distractions, purifying his mind, just as raw gold is purified by removing impurities similar to its color, making it pure. 'Furthermore, a bhikkhu who is bound by 'activity' in various samadhis, like water in a pond held by surrounding banks, is bound by 'activity' and cannot attain the serene and sublime state, cannot obtain the joy of cessation, and cannot exhaust all defilements. Just as a goldsmith or a goldsmith's apprentice refines raw gold, removing impurities, but the gold is not light, soft, or lustrous, it breaks easily when bent, and cannot be freely made into ornaments. 'Furthermore, a bhikkhu who attains various samadhis, not bound by 'activity,' can attain the serene and sublime state, obtain the joy of cessation, and with one-pointedness of mind, exhaust all defilements. Just as a refiner or a refiner's apprentice refines raw gold, making it light, unbroken, and lustrous, bending it freely at will. 'Furthermore, a bhikkhu abandons all initial and sustained thought, and attains the second, third, and fourth jhanas. Thus, he enters into the correct samadhi, pure and unmixed, free from all defilements, soft, true, and unshakeable. He can attain any state of absorption he desires. Just as a goldsmith refines raw gold, making it extremely light, lustrous, and unbroken, able to make any object at will. Similarly, a bhikkhu in correct samadhi can attain any state of absorption.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (1247) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. Then, the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: 'You should be diligent and skillful, and contemplate three states at all times. What are the three? Contemplate the state of cessation at all times, contemplate the state of exertion at all times, and contemplate the state of relinquishment at all times. If a bhikkhu only contemplates the state of cessation, then his mind will become inferior.'


。若復一向思惟舉相,則於是處掉亂心起,若復一向思惟舍相,則於是處不得正定,盡諸有漏。

「以彼比丘隨時思惟止相,隨時思惟舉相,隨時思惟舍相故,心則正定,盡諸有漏。如巧金師、金師弟子以生金著于爐中增火,隨時扇韛,隨時水灑,隨時俱舍。若一向鼓韛者,即於是處生金焦盡。一向水灑,則於是處,生金堅強。若一向俱舍,則於是處生金不熟,則無所用。是故,巧金師、金師弟子于彼生金隨時鼓韛,隨時水灑,隨時兩舍。如是生金,得等調適,隨事所用。如是,比丘!專心方便,時時思惟,憶念三相,乃至漏盡。」

佛說是經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,摩竭提國有牧牛者,愚癡無慧,夏末秋初,不善觀察恒水此岸,亦不善觀恒水彼岸,而驅群牛峻岸而下,峻岸而上,中間洄澓,多起患難。諸比丘!過去世時,摩竭提國有牧牛人,不愚不癡者,有方便慧,夏末秋初,能善觀察恒水此岸,亦善觀察恒水彼岸,善度其牛,至平博山谷好水草處。彼初度時,先度大牛能領群者,斷其急流

現代漢語譯本:如果只是一味地思惟『舉』的相狀,那麼在這個地方就會生起掉舉和散亂的心;如果只是一味地思惟『舍』的相狀,那麼在這個地方就不能得到正定,不能斷盡一切有漏的煩惱。 由於那位比丘隨時思惟『止』的相狀,隨時思惟『舉』的相狀,隨時思惟『舍』的相狀,所以他的心就能得到正定,斷盡一切有漏的煩惱。就像熟練的金匠或金匠的弟子,把生金放入爐中加熱,隨時鼓風,隨時灑水,隨時兩者都放下。如果只是一味地鼓風,那麼生金就會被燒焦;如果只是一味地灑水,那麼生金就會變得堅硬;如果只是一味地兩者都放下,那麼生金就不會成熟,也就沒有用處。因此,熟練的金匠或金匠的弟子對於生金,隨時鼓風,隨時灑水,隨時兩者都放下。這樣,生金就能得到調和,可以隨需要使用。同樣,比丘們!要專心方便,時時思惟,憶念這三種相狀,直到漏盡煩惱。」 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,都歡喜地奉行。 (一二四八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『過去世時,摩竭陀國有一個牧牛人,愚癡沒有智慧,在夏末秋初的時候,不善於觀察恒河的此岸,也不善於觀察恒河的彼岸,就驅趕牛群從陡峭的岸邊下去,又從陡峭的岸邊上來,在中間的漩渦里,多生患難。諸位比丘!過去世時,摩竭陀國有一個牧牛人,不愚癡有智慧,有方便的智慧,在夏末秋初的時候,能夠善於觀察恒河的此岸,也善於觀察恒河的彼岸,善於引導他的牛群,到達平坦寬闊的山谷,有好的水草的地方。他最初渡河的時候,先渡過那些能夠帶領牛群的大牛,斷開急流』

English version: If one only contemplates the aspect of 'raising' (the mind), then agitation and distraction will arise in that place; if one only contemplates the aspect of 'letting go', then one will not attain right concentration in that place, and will not exhaust all defilements. Because that bhikkhu contemplates the aspect of 'stopping' at times, contemplates the aspect of 'raising' at times, and contemplates the aspect of 'letting go' at times, his mind will attain right concentration, and he will exhaust all defilements. It is like a skilled goldsmith or a goldsmith's apprentice who puts raw gold into a furnace and heats it, sometimes fanning the bellows, sometimes sprinkling water, and sometimes letting both go. If one only fans the bellows, then the raw gold will be burnt up in that place. If one only sprinkles water, then the raw gold will become hard in that place. If one only lets both go, then the raw gold will not be mature in that place, and will be useless. Therefore, a skilled goldsmith or a goldsmith's apprentice, with respect to raw gold, sometimes fans the bellows, sometimes sprinkles water, and sometimes lets both go. In this way, the raw gold will be properly tempered and can be used as needed. Likewise, bhikkhus! With focused effort, contemplate and remember these three aspects at all times, until the defilements are exhausted.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (1248) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, the Blessed One said to the bhikkhus: 'In the past, in the kingdom of Magadha, there was a cowherd who was foolish and without wisdom. At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, he was not good at observing the near bank of the Ganges River, nor was he good at observing the far bank of the Ganges River. He drove his herd of cows down the steep bank and up the steep bank, and in the middle of the whirlpools, many difficulties arose. Bhikkhus! In the past, in the kingdom of Magadha, there was a cowherd who was not foolish but wise, and had skillful wisdom. At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, he was able to observe the near bank of the Ganges River well, and also to observe the far bank of the Ganges River well. He skillfully led his herd of cows to a flat and wide valley where there was good water and grass. When he first crossed the river, he first led the large cows that could lead the herd, breaking through the swift current.'


。次驅第二多力少牛,隨後而度,然後第三驅羸小者,隨逐下流,悉皆次第安隱得度。新生犢子愛戀其母,亦隨其後,得度彼岸。

「如是,比丘!我說斯譬,當知其義。彼摩竭提牧牛者,愚癡無慧;彼諸六師富蘭那等亦復如是,習諸邪見,向于邪道。如彼牧牛人愚癡無慧,夏末秋初,不善觀察此岸彼岸,高峻山險,從峻岸下,峻岸而上,中間洄澓,多生患難。如是六師富蘭那等愚癡無慧,不觀此岸,謂於此世;不觀彼岸,謂於他世;中間洄澓,謂境諸魔,自遭苦難。彼諸見者,習其所學,亦遭患難。

「彼摩竭提善牧牛者,不愚不癡,有方便慧,謂如來、應、等正覺。如牧牛者善觀此岸,善觀彼岸,善度其牛,于平博山谷,先度大牛能領群者,橫截急流,安度彼岸。如是我聲聞能盡諸漏,乃至自知不受後有。橫截惡魔世間貪流,安隱得度生死彼岸。

「如摩竭提國善牧牛者,次度第二多力少牛,截流橫度。如是我諸聲聞斷五下分結,得阿那含,于彼受生,不還此世,亦復斷截惡魔貪流,安隱得度生死彼岸。

「如摩竭提國善牧牛者,驅其第三羸小少牛,隨其下流,安隱得度。如是我聲聞斷三結,貪、恚、癡薄,得斯陀含,一來此世,究竟苦邊,橫截于彼惡魔貪流,安隱得度生死彼岸

現代漢語譯本:『先驅趕第二批力氣稍遜的牛,讓它們隨後渡河;然後驅趕第三批瘦弱的小牛,讓它們順著水流,都依次安全地渡過河。新生的牛犢依戀著它們的母親,也跟在後面,渡到了彼岸。』 『比丘們!我講這個譬喻,你們應當明白其中的含義。那個摩揭陀國的牧牛人,愚癡沒有智慧;那些六師富蘭那等人也是這樣,習染各種邪見,走向邪道。就像那個愚癡沒有智慧的牧牛人,在夏末秋初,不善於觀察此岸彼岸,高聳的山峰險峻,從陡峭的岸邊下去,又從陡峭的岸邊上來,中間水流回旋,多生災難。像這樣,六師富蘭那等人愚癡沒有智慧,不觀察此岸,指的就是這個世間;不觀察彼岸,指的就是他世;中間水流回旋,指的是境界中的各種魔障,自己遭受苦難。那些追隨他們見解的人,學習他們所學的,也遭受災難。』 『那個摩揭陀國善於牧牛的人,不愚癡,有方便智慧,就像如來、應供、正等覺。就像牧牛人善於觀察此岸,善於觀察彼岸,善於引導他的牛,在平坦寬闊的山谷,先讓能帶領牛群的大牛渡河,橫渡急流,安全地到達彼岸。我的聲聞弟子也能這樣,斷盡一切煩惱,乃至自己知道不再受後有。橫渡惡魔世間的貪慾之流,安全地到達生死彼岸。』 『就像摩揭陀國善於牧牛的人,接著驅趕第二批力氣稍遜的牛,橫渡河流。我的聲聞弟子也能這樣,斷除五下分結,證得阿那含果,在彼處受生,不再回到這個世間,也同樣斷截惡魔的貪慾之流,安全地到達生死彼岸。』 『就像摩揭陀國善於牧牛的人,驅趕第三批瘦弱的小牛,讓它們順著水流,安全地渡過河。我的聲聞弟子也能這樣,斷除三結,貪、嗔、癡薄弱,證得斯陀含果,只來此世一次,最終達到苦的盡頭,橫渡惡魔的貪慾之流,安全地到達生死彼岸。』

English version: 'First, he drives the second group of cows, which are strong but less so than the first, to cross the river; then he drives the third group of weak and small cows, letting them follow the current, and they all safely cross in order. The newborn calves, attached to their mothers, also follow behind and reach the other shore.' 'Monks! I tell this parable so you may understand its meaning. That cowherd of Magadha is foolish and without wisdom; those six teachers, such as Purana, are also like that, adhering to various wrong views and heading towards wrong paths. Just like that foolish and unwise cowherd, in late summer and early autumn, who is not good at observing this shore and the other shore, the high and steep mountains, going down from the steep bank and up from the steep bank, with swirling currents in between, causing much suffering. Similarly, the six teachers, such as Purana, are foolish and without wisdom, not observing this shore, which refers to this world; not observing the other shore, which refers to the next world; the swirling currents in between refer to the various demonic obstacles in the realm, causing themselves suffering. Those who follow their views, learning what they teach, also suffer.' 'That good cowherd of Magadha, not foolish, has skillful wisdom, like the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One. Just like the cowherd who is good at observing this shore, good at observing the other shore, good at guiding his cows, in the flat and wide valley, first letting the big cows that can lead the herd cross the river, crossing the rapid current, safely reaching the other shore. My disciples, the Sravakas, can also do this, ending all defilements, even knowing for themselves that they will not have future existence. They cross the stream of worldly desire of the evil demons, safely reaching the other shore of birth and death.' 'Just like the good cowherd of Magadha, then driving the second group of cows, which are less strong, to cross the river. My disciples, the Sravakas, can also do this, cutting off the five lower fetters, attaining Anagami, being born there, not returning to this world, also cutting off the stream of desire of the evil demons, safely reaching the other shore of birth and death.' 'Just like the good cowherd of Magadha, driving the third group of weak and small cows, letting them follow the current, safely crossing the river. My disciples, the Sravakas, can also do this, cutting off the three fetters, with weakened greed, hatred, and delusion, attaining Sakadagami, coming to this world only once, ultimately reaching the end of suffering, crossing the stream of desire of the evil demons, safely reaching the other shore of birth and death.'


「如摩竭提國善牧牛者,新生犢子愛戀其母,亦隨得度。如是我聲聞斷三結,得須陀洹,不墮惡趣,決定正向三菩提,七有天人往生,究竟苦邊,斷截惡魔貪流,安隱得度生死彼岸。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「此世及他世,  明智善顯現,  諸魔得未得,  乃至於死魔。  一切悉知者,  三藐三佛智,  斷截諸魔流,  破壞令消亡。  開示甘露門,  顯現正真道,  心常多欣悅,  逮得安隱處。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二四九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「若牧牛人成就十一法者,不能令牛增長,亦不能擁護大群牛,令等安樂。何等為十一?謂不知色、不知相、不去蟲、不能覆護其瘡、不能起煙、不知擇路、不知擇處、不知度處、不知食處、盡𤛓其乳、不善料理能領群者,是名十一法成就,不能黨護大群牛。

「如是,比丘成就十一法者,不能自安,亦不安他

現代漢語譯本 『就像摩揭陀國善於牧牛的人一樣,新生的牛犢愛戀著它的母親,也隨之得到解脫。我的聲聞弟子也是如此,斷除了三種結縛,證得須陀洹果位,不會墮入惡道,必定走向正覺,經歷七次天人往生,最終到達苦的盡頭,斷絕了惡魔的貪慾之流,安穩地到達了生死彼岸。』 當時,世尊即說偈語: 『此世與他世,明智之人能善於顯現,諸魔所能得到或不能得到的,乃至死魔,一切都知曉的人,擁有三藐三菩提的智慧,斷絕了諸魔的流轉,破壞並使其消亡。開啟甘露之門,顯現正真之道,內心常常充滿喜悅,最終到達安穩的境地。』 佛陀說完此經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一二四九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『如果牧牛人具備十一種過失,就不能使牛增長,也不能保護大群牛,使它們安樂。哪十一種呢?就是:不知道牛的顏色、不知道牛的特徵、不去驅趕蟲子、不能保護牛的傷口、不能燃起煙火驅蚊、不知道選擇道路、不知道選擇地方、不知道渡河的地方、不知道吃草的地方、榨乾牛的乳汁、不善於管理能帶領牛群的人。這被稱為具備十一種過失,不能保護大群牛。』 『同樣,比丘如果具備十一種過失,就不能使自己安穩,也不能使他人安穩。

English version 'Just as a skilled cowherd in Magadha, a newborn calf loves its mother and also attains liberation. Likewise, my disciples who are hearers, having severed the three fetters, attain the state of Srotapanna, will not fall into evil realms, are destined for enlightenment, will be reborn seven times among gods and humans, ultimately reach the end of suffering, cut off the flow of Mara's desires, and securely reach the other shore of birth and death.' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 'In this world and the next, the wise are able to manifest well. All that Mara can or cannot obtain, even the Mara of death, is known by the one who possesses the wisdom of Samyak-sambodhi, who cuts off the flow of all Maras, destroys and eliminates them. He opens the gate of nectar, reveals the true path, his heart is always full of joy, and he attains a secure place.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1249) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'If a cowherd possesses eleven faults, he cannot make the cows grow, nor can he protect the large herd and make them comfortable. What are the eleven? They are: not knowing the color of the cows, not knowing their characteristics, not driving away insects, not protecting their wounds, not making smoke to repel mosquitoes, not knowing how to choose a path, not knowing how to choose a place, not knowing where to cross a river, not knowing where to graze, milking them dry, and not being good at managing those who lead the herd. This is called possessing eleven faults, and he cannot protect the large herd.' 'Likewise, if a monk possesses eleven faults, he cannot make himself secure, nor can he make others secure.'


。何等為十一?謂不知色、不知相、不能除其害蟲、不覆其瘡、不能起煙、不知正路、不知止處、不知度處、不知食處、盡𤛓其乳、若有上座多聞耆舊,久修梵行,大師所嘆,不向諸明智修梵行者稱譽其德,悉令宗敬、奉事、供養。

「云何不知止處?謂于如來所知法,不得歡喜、悅樂、勝妙、出離、饒益,是名不知止處

現代漢語譯本:什麼是十一件事?指的是不知道顏色、不知道相狀、不能去除其害蟲、不能覆蓋其瘡、不能生起煙、不知道正確的道路、不知道止息之處、不知道度量之處、不知道飲食之處、耗盡其乳汁,如果有上座、博學、年長、長期修行梵行、被大師讚歎的人,不向那些明智的修行梵行者稱讚他的德行,卻讓他人完全尊敬、奉事、供養。 什麼是不知道顏色?所有存在的顏色,都是由四大元素以及四大元素所造的,不能如實地瞭解,這叫做不知道顏色。 什麼是不知道相狀?事業是過失的相狀,事業是智慧的相狀,不能如實地瞭解,這叫做不知道相狀。 什麼是不能去除害蟲?所產生的慾望感受能夠安住,不離開、不覺察、不滅除;所產生的嗔恨、傷害感受能夠安住,不離開、不覺察、不滅除,這叫做不能去除害蟲。 什麼是不覆蓋瘡?指的是眼睛看到顏色,就隨著它的形狀和相貌去執取,不守護眼根,世間的貪婪、憂愁、邪惡不善的法,就會隨著心生起煩惱,不能防護;耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意根也是如此。這叫做不覆蓋其瘡。 什麼是不能生起煙?指的是對於所聽聞、所接受的佛法,不能為他人分別解釋和顯示,這叫做不能生起煙。 什麼是不知道正確的道路?八正道以及聖法、戒律被稱為道路,不能如實地瞭解,這叫做不知道道路。 什麼是不知道止息之處?指的是對於如來所知的佛法,不能得到歡喜、快樂、殊勝、出離、利益,這叫做不知道止息之處。

「云何不知度處?謂彼不知修多羅、毗尼、阿毗曇,不隨時往到其所,咨問請受:『云何為善?云何不善?云何有罪?云何無罪?作何等法為勝非惡?』于隱密法不能開發,于顯露法不能廣問,于甚深句義自所知者,不能廣宣顯示,是名不知度處。

現代漢語譯本 『什麼叫做不知道渡河的地點?』意思是說,他不知道修多羅(經)、毗尼(律)、阿毗曇(論),不及時前往這些地方,請教和接受教誨:『什麼是善?什麼是不善?什麼是有罪?什麼是無罪?做什麼樣的法是殊勝而非惡的?』對於隱秘的法不能夠開示,對於顯露的法不能夠廣泛地詢問,對於深奧的語句和意義,自己所知道的,不能夠廣泛地宣說和顯示,這叫做不知道渡河的地點。 『什麼叫做不知道放牧的地點?』意思是說,四念處以及賢聖的法和律,這叫做放牧的地點,對於這些不如實地瞭解,這叫做不知道放牧的地點。 『什麼叫做竭盡其乳?』意思是說,剎帝利、婆羅門、長者等有權勢的人,佈施衣服、飲食、床鋪、醫藥、生活用品等,那些接受的比丘不知道**,這叫做竭盡其乳。 『什麼叫做不向上座大德、多聞耆舊,乃至不向那些有殊勝智慧的梵行者稱讚他們的功德,使他們受到尊重、承事和供養,從而感到喜悅?』意思是說,比丘不稱讚那些上座,乃至不讓那些有智慧的梵行者前往他們那裡,用隨順身、口、意的行為來侍奉和期望,這叫做不向上座大德、多聞耆舊,乃至不讓有智慧的梵行者前往他們那裡,侍奉和期望,使他們感到喜悅。 『那個牧牛人成就了十一種法,就能夠使他的牛群增長,保護牛群,使它們感到快樂。』這十一種法是什麼呢?就是知道顏色、知道相貌,就像上面清凈部分所說的那樣,乃至能夠帶領牛群的人,隨時照料,使它們得到安樂,這叫做牧牛人成就了十一種事,能夠使牛群增長,保護牛群,使它們得到安樂。同樣,比丘成就了十一種法,就能夠使自己安樂,也能夠使他人安樂。這十一種法是什麼呢?就是知道顏色、知道相貌,乃至十一種……』就像清凈部分廣泛地說明的那樣,『這叫做比丘成就了十一種事,自己安樂也使他人安樂。』

English version 'What is meant by not knowing the crossing place?' It means that he does not know the Sutras, the Vinaya, and the Abhidhamma, and does not go to those places in time to inquire and receive teachings: 'What is good? What is not good? What is sinful? What is not sinful? What kind of Dharma is superior and not evil?' He cannot reveal the hidden Dharma, cannot widely inquire about the manifest Dharma, and cannot widely proclaim and display what he knows about the profound words and meanings. This is called not knowing the crossing place. 'What is meant by not knowing the grazing place?' It means that the four foundations of mindfulness and the noble Dharma and Vinaya are called the grazing place. Not truly understanding these is called not knowing the grazing place. 'What is meant by exhausting the milk?' It means that Kshatriyas, Brahmins, elders, and other powerful people give clothes, food, bedding, medicine, and necessities, and those monks who receive them do not know **. This is called exhausting the milk. 'What is meant by not praising the virtues of the senior monks, the learned elders, and even those virtuous practitioners with superior wisdom, so that they are respected, served, and offered to, and thus feel joy?' It means that the monk does not praise those senior monks, and does not even cause those virtuous practitioners with wisdom to go to them, serving and expecting them with actions of body, speech, and mind. This is called not praising the senior monks, the learned elders, and not even causing the virtuous practitioners with wisdom to go to them, serving and expecting them, so that they feel joy. 'That cowherd who has accomplished eleven qualities is able to make his herd grow, protect the herd, and make them happy.' What are these eleven qualities? They are knowing the color, knowing the appearance, as described in the above pure section, and even the one who can lead the herd, taking care of them at all times, so that they can be at peace. This is called the cowherd accomplishing eleven things, being able to make the herd grow, protect the herd, and make them happy. Likewise, a monk who has accomplished eleven qualities is able to make himself happy and also make others happy. What are these eleven qualities? They are knowing the color, knowing the appearance, and so on to eleven...』 as explained extensively in the pure section, 『This is called a monk accomplishing eleven things, being happy himself and making others happy.』


。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二五〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,至一奢能伽羅聚落,住一奢能伽羅林中。

時,有尊者那提迦,舊住一奢能伽羅聚落。一奢能伽羅聚落沙門、婆羅門聞沙門瞿曇拘薩羅國人間遊行,至一奢能伽羅聚落,住一奢能伽羅林中。聞已,各辦一釜食,著門邊,作是念:「我先供養世尊!我先供養善逝!」各各高聲大聲,作如是唱。

爾時,世尊聞園林內有多人眾高聲大聲,語尊者那提伽:「何因、何緣園林內有眾多人高聲大聲唱說之聲?」

尊者那提伽白佛言:「世尊!此一奢能伽羅聚落諸剎利、婆羅門長者聞世尊住此林中,各作一釜食置園林內,各自唱言:『我先供養世尊!我先供養善逝!』以是故,於此林中多人高聲大聲唱說之聲。唯愿世尊當受彼食。」

佛告那提伽:「莫以利我,我不求利;莫以稱我,我不求稱

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一二五〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀在拘薩羅國游化人間,來到一個名叫一奢能伽羅的村落,住在那裡的一奢能伽羅林中。 當時,有位尊者名叫那提迦,他以前就住在一奢能伽羅村落。一奢能伽羅村落的沙門、婆羅門聽說沙門喬達摩在拘薩羅國游化人間,來到一奢能伽羅村落,住在一奢能伽羅林中。聽聞后,他們各自準備了一釜食物,放在門邊,心裡想著:『我先供養世尊!我先供養善逝!』他們各自高聲大喊,這樣唱著。 那時,世尊聽到園林內有許多人高聲大喊,就問尊者那提迦:『是什麼原因,什麼緣故,園林內有這麼多人高聲大喊的聲音?』 尊者那提迦告訴佛陀說:『世尊!這是一奢能伽羅村落的剎帝利、婆羅門長者們,聽說世尊住在這片林中,各自做了一釜食物放在園林內,各自喊著說:『我先供養世尊!我先供養善逝!』因此,這片林中才有許多人高聲大喊的聲音。希望世尊能夠接受他們的食物。』 佛陀告訴那提迦說:『不要爲了利益我,我不求利益;不要爲了稱讚我,我不求稱讚。』

English version After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. (1250) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling among the people of Kosala, and he arrived at a village called Ekanala, where he stayed in the Ekanala forest. At that time, there was a venerable monk named Nadika, who had previously lived in the village of Ekanala. The ascetics and Brahmins of Ekanala village heard that the ascetic Gotama was traveling among the people of Kosala and had arrived at Ekanala village, staying in the Ekanala forest. Upon hearing this, they each prepared a pot of food and placed it by their doors, thinking, 'I will offer it to the World Honored One first! I will offer it to the Well-Gone One first!' They each shouted loudly, chanting in this way. At that time, the World Honored One heard many people shouting loudly in the garden and asked Venerable Nadika, 'What is the reason, what is the cause, that there are so many people shouting loudly in the garden?' Venerable Nadika replied to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! The Kshatriyas, Brahmins, and elders of this Ekanala village, having heard that the World Honored One is staying in this forest, have each prepared a pot of food and placed it in the garden, each shouting, 'I will offer it to the World Honored One first! I will offer it to the Well-Gone One first!' Therefore, there are many people shouting loudly in this forest. May the World Honored One accept their food.' The Buddha said to Nadika, 'Do not do it for my benefit, I do not seek benefit; do not do it for my praise, I do not seek praise.'


。那提伽!若於如來如是便得出要、遠離、寂滅、等正覺樂者,則于彼彼所起利樂,若味若求?那提伽!唯我於此像類得出要、遠離、寂滅、等正覺樂,不求而得,不苦而得,於何彼彼所起利樂,若味若求?那提伽!汝等於如是像類色不得出要、遠離、寂滅、等正覺樂故,不得不求之樂、不苦之樂。那提迦!天亦不得如是像類出要、遠離、寂滅、等正覺樂、不求之樂、不苦之樂。唯有我得如是像類出要、遠離、寂滅、等正覺樂、不求之樂、不苦之樂。於何彼彼所起利樂,若味若求?」

那提伽白佛言:「世尊!我今欲說譬。」

佛告那提伽:「宜知是時。」

那提迦白佛言:「世尊!譬如天雨,水流順下,隨其彼彼世尊住處,于彼彼處剎利、婆羅門長者信敬奉事,以世尊戒德清凈,正見真直。是故,我今作如是說,唯愿世尊哀受彼請。」

佛告那提伽:「莫以利我,我不求利。乃至云何于彼彼所起利樂,有味有求?那提迦!我見比丘食好食已,仰腹而臥,急喘長息。我見已,作是思惟:『如此長老不得出要、遠離、寂滅、等正覺樂、不求之樂、不苦之樂。』複次,那提迦!我見此有二比丘食好食已,飽腹喘息,偃闡而行

現代漢語譯本:那提伽!如果像如來這樣就能獲得解脫、遠離、寂滅、正等正覺的快樂,那麼對於那些由此產生的利益和快樂,又何必去品味和追求呢?那提伽!只有我才能像這樣獲得解脫、遠離、寂滅、正等正覺的快樂,不需追求就能得到,不需受苦就能得到。對於那些由此產生的利益和快樂,又何必去品味和追求呢?那提伽!你們不能像這樣獲得解脫、遠離、寂滅、正等正覺的快樂,所以不得不追求快樂,不得不忍受痛苦。那提伽!天人也不能像這樣獲得解脫、遠離、寂滅、正等正覺的快樂,不需追求就能得到,不需受苦就能得到。只有我才能像這樣獲得解脫、遠離、寂滅、正等正覺的快樂,不需追求就能得到,不需受苦就能得到。對於那些由此產生的利益和快樂,又何必去品味和追求呢?' 那提伽對佛說:'世尊!我現在想說個比喻。' 佛告訴那提伽:'現在是時候了。' 那提伽對佛說:'世尊!譬如天降雨水,水流順勢而下,無論世尊住在哪裡,那裡的剎帝利、婆羅門、長者都會因為世尊戒德清凈、正見真直而信敬供養。因此,我現在這樣說,只希望世尊能夠接受他們的邀請。' 佛告訴那提伽:'不要爲了利益我,我不追求利益。更何況對於那些由此產生的利益和快樂,又怎麼會去品味和追求呢?那提伽!我看到有比丘吃完好食物后,仰面躺臥,急促地喘著粗氣。我看到后,就想:『這樣的長老是無法獲得解脫、遠離、寂滅、正等正覺的快樂,不需追求就能得到,不需受苦就能得到的。』還有,那提伽!我看到有兩個比丘吃完好食物后,飽腹喘息,搖搖晃晃地走著。

English version: 'Nāthika! If one could attain liberation, detachment, cessation, and the bliss of perfect enlightenment in the manner of the Tathagata, then what need would there be to savor or seek the benefits and pleasures that arise from those things? Nāthika! Only I can attain liberation, detachment, cessation, and the bliss of perfect enlightenment in this manner, obtaining it without seeking, obtaining it without suffering. What need would there be to savor or seek the benefits and pleasures that arise from those things? Nāthika! You cannot attain liberation, detachment, cessation, and the bliss of perfect enlightenment in this manner, so you must seek pleasure and endure suffering. Nāthika! Even the gods cannot attain liberation, detachment, cessation, and the bliss of perfect enlightenment in this manner, obtaining it without seeking, obtaining it without suffering. Only I can attain liberation, detachment, cessation, and the bliss of perfect enlightenment in this manner, obtaining it without seeking, obtaining it without suffering. What need would there be to savor or seek the benefits and pleasures that arise from those things?' Nāthika said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, I now wish to give a simile.' The Buddha said to Nāthika, 'It is the right time.' Nāthika said to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, it is like when rain falls from the sky, the water flows downwards, and wherever the Venerable One resides, the Kshatriyas, Brahmins, and elders in those places will offer their faith and service because the Venerable One's precepts are pure and his views are upright and true. Therefore, I now say this, I only wish that the Venerable One would accept their invitations.' The Buddha said to Nāthika, 'Do not do it for my benefit, I do not seek benefit. Moreover, how could there be any savoring or seeking of the benefits and pleasures that arise from those things? Nāthika! I have seen a bhikkhu who, after eating good food, lies on his back, breathing heavily and rapidly. Having seen this, I thought: 『Such an elder cannot attain liberation, detachment, cessation, and the bliss of perfect enlightenment, obtaining it without seeking, obtaining it without suffering.』 Furthermore, Nāthika! I have seen two bhikkhus who, after eating good food, are full and breathing heavily, walking unsteadily.'


。我作是念:『非彼長老能得出要、遠離、寂滅、等正覺之樂、不求之樂、不苦之樂。』

「那提迦!我見眾多比丘食好食已,從園至園,從房至房,從人至人,從群聚至群聚。我見是已,而作是念:『非彼長老如是能得出要、遠離、寂滅、等正覺樂、不求之樂、不苦之樂;我得如是像類出要、遠離、寂滅、等正覺樂、不求之樂、不苦之樂。』

「複次,那提迦!我於一時隨道行,見有比丘於前遠去,復有比丘於後來亦遠。我于爾時,閑靜無為,亦無有便利之勞。所以者何?依于食飲,樂著滋味,故有便利,此則為依。觀五受陰生滅,而厭離住,此則為依。於六觸入處觀察集滅,厭離而住,此則為依。于群聚之樂勤習群聚,厭于遠離,是則為依。樂修遠離,則勤于遠離,厭離群聚,是則為依。是故,那提迦!當如是學:『於五受陰觀察生滅,於六觸入處觀察集滅,樂於遠離,精勤遠離。』當如是學。」

佛說此經已,尊者那提迦聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一二五一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在拘薩羅人間遊行,至那楞伽羅聚落……如上廣說,乃至彼彼所起求利。

佛告那提迦:「我見聚落邊有精舍,有比丘坐禪

現代漢語譯本:我當時這樣想:『那些長老們不能獲得解脫、遠離、寂滅、正等正覺的快樂,那種不追求的快樂,那種無苦的快樂。』 現代漢語譯本:『那提迦!我看到許多比丘吃過美味的食物后,從一個園林到另一個園林,從一個房間到另一個房間,從一個人到另一個人,從一個群體到另一個群體。我看到這些后,就想:『那些長老們這樣是不能獲得解脫、遠離、寂滅、正等正覺的快樂,那種不追求的快樂,那種無苦的快樂;我卻能獲得像那樣的解脫、遠離、寂滅、正等正覺的快樂,那種不追求的快樂,那種無苦的快樂。』 現代漢語譯本:『再者,那提迦!我曾經在路上行走,看到有比丘在前面走遠了,也有比丘在後面也走遠了。那時,我閑靜無為,也沒有排泄的勞累。為什麼呢?因為依賴於飲食,貪戀滋味,所以有排泄,這是依賴。觀察五蘊的生滅,從而厭離而住,這是依賴。觀察六觸入處的集起和滅去,厭離而住,這是依賴。喜歡群聚的快樂,勤于群聚,厭惡遠離,這是依賴。喜歡修習遠離,就勤于遠離,厭惡群聚,這也是依賴。所以,那提迦!應當這樣學習:『觀察五蘊的生滅,觀察六觸入處的集起和滅去,喜歡遠離,精勤于遠離。』應當這樣學習。』 現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,尊者那提迦聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,行禮后離去。 現代漢語譯本:(一二五一) 現代漢語譯本:我是這樣聽說的: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀在拘薩羅國游化,到達那楞伽羅村落……如上文廣說,乃至他們各自所求的利益。 現代漢語譯本:佛陀告訴那提迦:『我看到村落邊有精舍,有比丘在那裡坐禪。』

English version: I thought to myself, 'Those elders are not able to attain the joy of release, detachment, cessation, perfect enlightenment, the joy that is not sought, the joy that is without suffering.' English version: 'Nāthika, I have seen many monks, having eaten good food, going from garden to garden, from room to room, from person to person, from group to group. Having seen this, I thought to myself, 'Those elders, in this way, are not able to attain the joy of release, detachment, cessation, perfect enlightenment, the joy that is not sought, the joy that is without suffering; but I am able to attain such a kind of joy of release, detachment, cessation, perfect enlightenment, the joy that is not sought, the joy that is without suffering.' English version: 'Furthermore, Nāthika, at one time, while walking along the path, I saw a monk going far ahead, and another monk also going far behind. At that time, I was quiet and inactive, and I had no labor of excretion. Why is that? Because of dependence on food and drink, and attachment to taste, there is excretion, this is dependence. Observing the arising and passing away of the five aggregates, and dwelling in aversion, this is dependence. Observing the arising and passing away of the six sense bases, and dwelling in aversion, this is dependence. Enjoying the pleasure of groups, diligently engaging in groups, and being averse to solitude, this is dependence. Enjoying the practice of solitude, diligently engaging in solitude, and being averse to groups, this is also dependence. Therefore, Nāthika, you should train yourselves thus: 'Observe the arising and passing away of the five aggregates, observe the arising and passing away of the six sense bases, enjoy solitude, and diligently engage in solitude.' You should train yourselves thus.' English version: After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the venerable Nāthika, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and approved, and after paying homage, departed. English version: (1251) English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the Kosala country, and arrived at the village of Nalaṅgala... as described in detail above, up to the point of their respective pursuits of gain. English version: The Buddha said to Nāthika, 'I saw a monastery near the village, and there was a monk sitting in meditation.'


。我見已,作如是念:『今此尊者聚落人,此或沙彌,來往聲響作亂,障其禪思,覺其正受,于不到欲到、不獲欲獲、不證欲證而作留難。』那提迦!我不喜彼比丘住聚落精舍。

「那提迦!我見比丘住空閑處,仰臥吁咄。我見是已,而作是念:『令彼比丘覺寤睡眠,思空閑想。』那提迦!我亦不喜如是比丘住空閑處。

「那提迦!我復見比丘住空閑處,搖身坐睡。見已,作是念:『今此比丘于睡覺寤,不定得定,定心者得解脫。』是故,那提迦!我不喜如是比丘住空閑處。

「那提迦!我復見比丘住空閑處,端坐正受。我見已,作是念:『令此比丘不解脫者,疾得解脫;已解脫者,令自防護,使不退失。』那提迦!我喜如是比丘住空閑處。

「那提迦!我復見比丘住空閑處,彼於後時,遠離空處集舍床臥具,還入聚落受床臥具。那提迦!我亦不喜如是比丘還入聚落。

「複次,那提迦!我見比丘住聚落精舍,名聞大德能感財利、衣被、飲食、湯藥、眾具。彼於後時,集舍利養聚落床座,至於空閑,床臥安止。那提迦!我喜如是比丘集舍利養聚落床臥,住于空閑。那提迦!比丘當如是學。」

佛說此經已,那提迦比丘歡喜隨喜,作禮而去

現代漢語譯本:我看到他們時,心中這樣想:『現在這些住在村落里的人,或許是沙彌,來來往往喧譁吵鬧,妨礙他們的禪定,擾亂他們的正受,使他們無法達到想要達到的境界,無法獲得想要獲得的成就,無法證得想要證得的果位。』那提迦,我不喜歡這樣的比丘住在村落精舍。 那提迦,我看到比丘住在空閑之處,仰臥著打哈欠。我看到后,心中這樣想:『讓這位比丘醒來,思考空閑的意義。』那提迦,我也不喜歡這樣的比丘住在空閑之處。 那提迦,我又看到比丘住在空閑之處,搖晃著身體打瞌睡。看到后,心中這樣想:『現在這位比丘在睡覺和清醒之間搖擺不定,無法入定,而只有入定才能獲得解脫。』所以,那提迦,我不喜歡這樣的比丘住在空閑之處。 那提迦,我又看到比丘住在空閑之處,端坐著進入正定。我看到后,心中這樣想:『讓這位比丘沒有解脫的,儘快獲得解脫;已經解脫的,能夠自我守護,不退失已有的成就。』那提迦,我喜歡這樣的比丘住在空閑之處。 那提迦,我又看到比丘住在空閑之處,後來卻捨棄空閑之處的床鋪臥具,回到村落接受床鋪臥具。那提迦,我也不喜歡這樣的比丘回到村落。 還有,那提迦,我看到比丘住在村落精舍,名聲很大,能夠獲得財物、衣服、飲食、湯藥、生活用品。後來,他們捨棄在村落獲得的供養和床鋪,來到空閑之處,安頓下來。那提迦,我喜歡這樣的比丘捨棄在村落獲得的供養和床鋪,住在空閑之處。那提迦,比丘應當這樣學習。』 佛陀說完這部經后,那提迦比丘歡喜讚歎,行禮后離開了。

English version: When I saw them, I thought to myself: 『Now these people living in the village, perhaps they are novices, coming and going, making noise and disturbing their meditation, disrupting their proper concentration, preventing them from reaching the state they wish to reach, from obtaining the achievements they wish to obtain, and from realizing the fruits they wish to realize.』 Nadika, I do not like such monks living in village monasteries. Nadika, I saw a monk living in a secluded place, lying on his back and yawning. When I saw this, I thought to myself: 『Let this monk wake up and contemplate the meaning of seclusion.』 Nadika, I also do not like such monks living in secluded places. Nadika, I also saw a monk living in a secluded place, swaying his body and dozing off. When I saw this, I thought to myself: 『Now this monk is wavering between sleeping and waking, unable to enter samadhi, and only by entering samadhi can one attain liberation.』 Therefore, Nadika, I do not like such monks living in secluded places. Nadika, I also saw a monk living in a secluded place, sitting upright and entering proper concentration. When I saw this, I thought to myself: 『Let this monk who has not attained liberation quickly attain liberation; and let those who have already attained liberation be able to protect themselves and not lose their achievements.』 Nadika, I like such monks living in secluded places. Nadika, I also saw a monk living in a secluded place, who later abandoned the bedding and furnishings of the secluded place and returned to the village to receive bedding and furnishings. Nadika, I also do not like such monks returning to the village. Furthermore, Nadika, I saw monks living in village monasteries, who were very famous and able to obtain wealth, clothing, food, medicine, and necessities. Later, they abandoned the offerings and bedding they received in the village and came to a secluded place to settle down. Nadika, I like such monks who abandon the offerings and bedding they received in the village and live in a secluded place. Nadika, monks should learn in this way.』 After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monk Nadika rejoiced and praised it, bowed, and left.


(一二五二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住鞞舍離國獼猴池側重閣講堂。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「諸離車子常枕木枕,手足龜坼,疑畏莫令摩竭陀王阿阇世毗提希子得其間便。是故,常自儆策,不放逸住;以彼不放逸住故,摩竭陀王阿阇世毗提希子不能伺求得其間便。于未來世,不久,諸離車子恣樂無事,手足柔軟,繒纊為枕,四體安臥,日出不起,放逸而住;以放逸住故,摩竭陀王阿阇世毗提希子得其間便。

「如是,比丘精勤方便,堅固堪能,不捨善法,肌膚損瘦,筋連骨立。精勤方便,不捨善法,乃至未得所應得者,不捨精進,常攝其心,不放逸住,以不放逸住故;魔王波旬不得其便。

「當來之世,有諸比丘恣樂無事,手足柔軟,繒纊為枕,四體安臥,日出不起,放逸而住;以放逸住故,惡魔波旬伺得其便。是故,比丘!當如是學:『精勤方便,乃至不得未得,不捨方便。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二五三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如士夫晨朝以三百釜食惠施眾生,日中、日暮亦復如是

現代漢語譯本 (一二五二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離國獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『那些離車人常常枕著木枕,手腳面板龜裂,擔心害怕摩揭陀國王阿阇世韋提希之子會找到機會。因此,他們常常自我警惕,不放逸地生活;因為他們不放逸地生活,摩揭陀國王阿阇世韋提希之子就不能伺機找到機會。在未來的日子裡,不久,那些離車人就會貪圖安逸,無所事事,手腳變得柔軟,用絲綿做枕頭,四肢安穩地躺臥,太陽出來了也不起床,放逸地生活;因為他們放逸地生活,摩揭陀國王阿阇世韋提希之子就會找到機會。』 『同樣,比丘們要精勤努力,堅定不移,不放棄善法,即使面板消瘦,筋骨相連。精勤努力,不放棄善法,乃至沒有得到應該得到的,也不放棄精進,常常收攝自己的心,不放逸地生活,因為不放逸地生活;魔王波旬就不能找到機會。』 『當未來的時代,會有一些比丘貪圖安逸,無所事事,手腳變得柔軟,用絲綿做枕頭,四肢安穩地躺臥,太陽出來了也不起床,放逸地生活;因為他們放逸地生活,惡魔波旬就會伺機找到機會。因此,比丘們!應當這樣學習:『精勤努力,乃至沒有得到應該得到的,也不放棄努力。』』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (一二五三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如有一個人早上用三百釜的食物佈施給眾生,中午和晚上也同樣如此。

English version (1252) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the multi-storied lecture hall by the Monkey Pond in the country of Vaishali. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'The Licchavi people often use wooden pillows, their hands and feet are cracked, and they are worried that King Ajatashatru, the son of Vaidehi of Magadha, might find an opportunity. Therefore, they are always vigilant and live without negligence; because they live without negligence, King Ajatashatru, the son of Vaidehi of Magadha, cannot find an opportunity. In the future, soon, the Licchavi people will indulge in pleasure and be idle, their hands and feet will become soft, they will use silk pillows, lie down comfortably, not get up until the sun rises, and live negligently; because they live negligently, King Ajatashatru, the son of Vaidehi of Magadha, will find an opportunity.' 'Likewise, monks should be diligent and persistent, not abandoning good deeds, even if their skin becomes thin and their bones are visible. They should be diligent and persistent, not abandoning good deeds, and until they have obtained what they should obtain, they should not abandon their efforts, always control their minds, and live without negligence; because they live without negligence, Mara the Evil One cannot find an opportunity.' 'In the future, there will be some monks who indulge in pleasure and are idle, their hands and feet will become soft, they will use silk pillows, lie down comfortably, not get up until the sun rises, and live negligently; because they live negligently, Mara the Evil One will find an opportunity. Therefore, monks! You should learn like this: 'Be diligent and persistent, and until you have obtained what you should obtain, do not abandon your efforts.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1253) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'Suppose a man gives alms to beings with three hundred cauldrons of food in the morning, and does the same at noon and in the evening.'


。第二士夫,時節須臾,於一切眾生修習慈心,乃至如𤛓牛乳頃,比先士夫惠施功德所不能及,百分千分巨億萬分,算數譬類不得為比!是故,比丘!當作是學:『時節須臾,於一切眾生修習慈心,下至如𤛓牛乳頃。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二五四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如人家多女人少男子,當知是家易為盜賊之所劫奪。如是善男子、善女人,不能數數下至如𤛓牛乳頃,於一切眾生修習慈心,當知是人易為諸惡鬼神所欺。

「譬如人家多男子少女人,不為盜賊數數劫奪。如是,善男子數數下至如𤛓牛乳頃,於一切眾生修習慈心,不為諸惡鬼神所欺。是故,諸比丘!常當隨時數數下至如𤛓牛乳頃,修習慈心。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二五五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如有人有匕手劍,其刃廣利。有健士夫言:『我能以手以拳椎打汝劍,令其摧碎。』諸比丘!彼健士夫當能以手以拳椎打彼劍,令摧碎不?」

比丘白佛:「不能

現代漢語譯本 第二種人,如果能在極短的時間內,哪怕像擠牛奶那麼短的時間,對一切眾生修習慈心,其功德也遠遠超過第一種人佈施的功德,哪怕是百分之一、千分之一、巨億萬分之一,都無法相比!因此,比丘們!應當這樣學習:『在極短的時間內,哪怕像擠牛奶那麼短的時間,對一切眾生修習慈心。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

(一二五四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如一家人家裡女人多而男人少,應當知道這家容易被盜賊搶劫。同樣,善男子、善女人,如果不能時常,哪怕像擠牛奶那麼短的時間,對一切眾生修習慈心,應當知道這個人容易被各種惡鬼神欺負。』 『譬如一家人家裡男人多而女人少,就不會經常被盜賊搶劫。同樣,善男子如果時常,哪怕像擠牛奶那麼短的時間,對一切眾生修習慈心,就不會被各種惡鬼神欺負。因此,比丘們!應當經常隨時,哪怕像擠牛奶那麼短的時間,修習慈心。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。

(一二五五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如有人有一把鋒利的手劍,其刃寬而鋒利。有一個健壯的人說:『我能用手或拳頭捶打你的劍,讓它破碎。』比丘們!那個健壯的人能用手或拳頭捶打那把劍,讓它破碎嗎?』 比丘們回答佛陀:『不能。』

English version The second person, if they cultivate loving-kindness towards all beings for a very short time, even as short as the time it takes to milk a cow, their merit far surpasses the merit of the first person's giving, even by a hundredth, a thousandth, or a hundred millionth part, it cannot be compared! Therefore, monks! You should learn this: 'For a very short time, even as short as the time it takes to milk a cow, cultivate loving-kindness towards all beings.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.

(1254) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'Suppose a household has many women and few men, it should be known that this household is easily robbed by thieves. Likewise, a good man or good woman, if they cannot frequently, even for as short a time as it takes to milk a cow, cultivate loving-kindness towards all beings, it should be known that this person is easily deceived by various evil spirits.' 'Suppose a household has many men and few women, it will not be frequently robbed by thieves. Likewise, a good man, if they frequently, even for as short a time as it takes to milk a cow, cultivate loving-kindness towards all beings, will not be deceived by various evil spirits. Therefore, monks! You should always, at all times, frequently, even for as short a time as it takes to milk a cow, cultivate loving-kindness.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them.

(1255) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'Suppose someone has a sharp hand sword, its blade wide and sharp. A strong man says: 'I can use my hand or fist to strike your sword and shatter it.' Monks! Can that strong man use his hand or fist to strike that sword and shatter it?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'No, they cannot.'


。世尊!彼匕手劍其刃廣利,非彼士夫能以手以拳椎打碎折,正足自困。

「如是,比丘!若沙門、婆羅門下至如𤛓牛乳頃,於一切眾生修習慈心,若有諸惡鬼神欲往伺求其短,不能得其間便,正可反自傷耳。是故,諸比丘!當如是學:『數數下至如𤛓牛乳頃,修習慈心。』」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二五六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊以爪抄土,告諸比丘:「于意云何?我爪上土多,為大地土多?」

比丘白佛:「世尊!爪上土甚少少耳,其大地土無量無數,不可為比。」

佛告諸比丘:「如是,眾生能數數下至彈指頃,於一切眾生修習慈心者,如甲上土耳;其諸眾生不能數數下至如彈指頃,於一切眾生修習慈心者,如大地土。是故,諸比丘!常當數數於一切眾生修習慈心。」

一時,佛住鞞舍離國獼猴池側重閣講堂。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「一切行無常,不恒、不安,是變易法。諸比丘!常當觀察一切諸行,修習厭離、不樂、解脫

現代漢語譯本:世尊!那匕首劍的刀刃非常鋒利,不是一般人可以用手或拳頭捶打碎裂的,反而會自傷其身。 『是的,比丘們!如果沙門或婆羅門,哪怕只是像擠牛奶那麼短的時間,對一切眾生修習慈心,如果有惡鬼神想要伺機尋找他的破綻,也無法得逞,反而會自傷其身。因此,比丘們!應當這樣學習:』要時常,哪怕只是像擠牛奶那麼短的時間,修習慈心。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一二五六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊用指甲挑起一些泥土,告訴比丘們:『你們認為如何?我指甲上的泥土多,還是大地的泥土多?』 比丘們回答佛陀:『世尊!指甲上的泥土非常少,而大地的泥土無量無邊,無法相比。』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『是的,眾生能夠時常,哪怕只是像彈指那麼短的時間,對一切眾生修習慈心的人,就像指甲上的泥土一樣少;而那些不能時常,哪怕只是像彈指那麼短的時間,對一切眾生修習慈心的人,就像大地的泥土一樣多。因此,比丘們!應當經常對一切眾生修習慈心。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一二五七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離國獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,世尊告訴比丘們:『一切行都是無常的,不恒常、不安穩,是會變化的。比丘們!應當經常觀察一切諸行,修習厭離、不喜樂、解脫。』

English version: Venerable Sir, that dagger and sword have blades that are very sharp and cannot be broken or shattered by a man's hand or fist; instead, he would only injure himself. 'So it is, monks! If a samana or brahmana cultivates loving-kindness towards all beings, even for as short a time as it takes to milk a cow, and if evil spirits try to find fault with him, they will not find an opening; they will only harm themselves. Therefore, monks, you should train yourselves thus: 'Frequently, even for as short a time as it takes to milk a cow, cultivate loving-kindness.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and put them into practice. (1256) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, the Blessed One picked up some soil with his fingernail and said to the monks, 'What do you think, monks? Is the soil on my fingernail more, or is the soil of the earth more?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'Venerable Sir, the soil on your fingernail is very little, while the soil of the earth is immeasurable and countless, beyond comparison.' The Buddha said to the monks, 'So it is, those beings who are able to frequently, even for as short a time as a finger-snap, cultivate loving-kindness towards all beings are like the soil on my fingernail; while those beings who are not able to frequently, even for as short a time as a finger-snap, cultivate loving-kindness towards all beings are like the soil of the earth. Therefore, monks, you should always cultivate loving-kindness towards all beings.' Having spoken this discourse, the monks rejoiced in the Blessed One's words and put them into practice. (1257) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Great Hall in the Monkey Pond at Vesali. Then, the Blessed One said to the monks, 'All conditioned things are impermanent, unstable, and insecure; they are subject to change. Monks, you should always observe all conditioned things, cultivating detachment, dispassion, and liberation.'


。」

時,有異比丘從座起,整衣服,為佛作禮,右膝著地,合掌白佛:「壽命遷滅,遲速如何?」

佛告比丘:「我則能說,但汝欲知者難。」

比丘白佛:「可說譬不?」

佛言:「可說。」

佛告比丘:「有四士夫手執強弓,一時放發,俱射四方。有一士夫及箭未落,接取四箭。云何?比丘!如是士夫為捷疾不?」

比丘白佛:「捷疾。世尊!」

佛告比丘:「此接箭士夫雖復捷疾,有地神天子倍疾于彼,虛空神天倍疾地神,四王天子來去倍疾于虛空神天,日月天子復倍捷疾於四王天,導日月神復倍捷疾于日月天子。諸比丘!命行遷變倍疾于彼導日月神。是故,諸比丘!當勤方便,觀察命行無常迅速如是。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二五八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住波羅㮈國仙人住處鹿野苑中。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,有一人名陀舍羅訶,彼陀舍羅訶有鼓名阿能訶,好聲、美聲、深聲,徹四十里。彼鼓既久,處處裂壞。爾時,鼓士裁割牛皮,周匝纏縛;雖復纏縛,鼓猶無復高聲、美聲、深聲。彼於後時,轉復朽壞,皮大剝落,唯有聚木

現代漢語譯本 當時,有一位特別的比丘從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,向佛陀行禮,右膝跪地,合掌對佛說:『壽命的消逝,有快慢之分嗎?』 佛陀告訴比丘:『我能說,但你想知道的很難。』 比丘對佛說:『可以用比喻來說嗎?』 佛陀說:『可以。』 佛陀告訴比丘:『有四個勇士手持強弓,同時向四個方向射箭。有一個勇士在箭還沒落地時,就接住了四支箭。怎麼樣?比丘!這個勇士算不算敏捷?』 比丘對佛說:『敏捷,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘:『這個接箭的勇士雖然敏捷,但有地神天子比他快一倍,虛空神天比地神快一倍,四王天子來去比虛空神天快一倍,日月天子又比四王天快一倍,引導日月的神又比日月天子快一倍。各位比丘!生命的流逝變化比引導日月的神還要快。所以,各位比丘!應當勤奮努力,觀察生命的無常和迅速就是這樣。』 佛陀說完這部經,各位比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一二五八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在波羅奈國的仙人居住地鹿野苑中。 當時,世尊告訴各位比丘:『過去世的時候,有一個人名叫陀舍羅訶,這個陀舍羅訶有一面鼓名叫阿能訶,聲音好聽、美妙、深沉,能傳到四十里遠。這面鼓用久了,到處都裂開了。當時,鼓匠裁剪牛皮,在鼓的周圍纏繞捆綁;即使纏繞捆綁了,鼓也再沒有高亢、美妙、深沉的聲音了。後來,鼓更加朽壞,鼓皮大塊剝落,只剩下一些木頭。』

English version At that time, a certain extraordinary bhikkhu rose from his seat, adjusted his robes, paid homage to the Buddha, knelt on his right knee, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'Is there a difference in the speed of the passing of life?' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'I can explain it, but what you wish to know is difficult.' The bhikkhu said to the Buddha: 'Can it be explained with a simile?' The Buddha said: 'It can.' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'There are four warriors holding strong bows, simultaneously shooting arrows in four directions. There is one warrior who catches all four arrows before they fall to the ground. What do you think, bhikkhu? Is this warrior considered swift?' The bhikkhu said to the Buddha: 'Swift, O Blessed One!' The Buddha told the bhikkhu: 'Although this arrow-catching warrior is swift, there are earth-deva sons who are twice as fast as him, space-devas are twice as fast as earth-devas, the sons of the Four Great Kings are twice as fast in their movements as space-devas, the sun and moon devas are twice as fast as the Four Great Kings, and the deities who guide the sun and moon are twice as fast as the sun and moon devas. Bhikkhus! The passing and changing of life is even faster than those deities who guide the sun and moon. Therefore, bhikkhus! You should diligently strive to observe that the impermanence and swiftness of life are like this.' After the Buddha finished speaking this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1258) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Deer Park at Isipatana in the country of Varanasi. At that time, the Blessed One told the bhikkhus: 'In the past, there was a man named Dasarahaha, and this Dasarahaha had a drum named Anangaha, which had a good, beautiful, and deep sound that could travel forty leagues. This drum, having been used for a long time, was cracked in many places. At that time, a drum maker cut and wrapped cowhide around the drum; even with the wrapping, the drum no longer had a high, beautiful, or deep sound. Later, the drum became even more decayed, the skin peeled off in large pieces, and only some wood remained.'


「如是,比丘!修身、修戒、修心、修慧,以彼修身、修戒、修心、修慧故,于如來所說修多羅甚深明照,難見難覺,不可思量,微密決定,明智所知,彼則頓受、周備受,聞其所說,歡喜崇習,出離饒益。當來比丘不修身、不修戒、不修心、不修慧,聞如來所說修多羅甚深明照空相應隨順緣起法,彼不頓受持,不至到受。聞彼說者,不歡喜崇習,而於世間眾雜異論、文辭綺飾、世俗雜句,專心頂受,聞彼說者,歡喜崇習,不得出離饒益。于彼如來所說甚深明照空相要法隨順緣起者,於此則滅,猶如彼鼓,朽故壞裂,唯有聚木。是故,諸比丘!當勤方便修身、修戒、修心、修慧,于如來所說甚深明照空相要法隨順緣起,頓受、遍受。聞彼說者,歡喜崇習,出離饒益。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二五九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如鐵丸投著火中,與火同色,盛著劫貝綿中

現代漢語譯本:『正是這樣,比丘們!修習身、修習戒、修習心、修習慧,因為修習身、修習戒、修習心、修習慧的緣故,對於如來所說的甚深明照的修多羅,難以見到,難以覺察,不可思量,微妙而確定,唯有明智才能瞭解,他們便能立刻接受、全面接受,聽到所說的,歡喜地崇尚修習,獲得出離的利益。未來的比丘如果不修習身、不修習戒、不修習心、不修習慧,聽到如來所說的甚深明照、與空相應、隨順緣起的法,他們不會立刻接受,不會達到接受的程度。聽到那些說法的人,不會歡喜地崇尚修習,反而專注於世間各種雜亂的議論、華麗的辭藻、世俗的雜句,專心接受,聽到那些說法的人,歡喜地崇尚修習,卻不能獲得出離的利益。對於如來所說的甚深明照、空相要法、隨順緣起的人,就會因此而滅亡,就像那鼓,因為朽爛而破裂,只剩下一堆木頭。因此,諸位比丘!應當勤奮方便地修習身、修習戒、修習心、修習慧,對於如來所說的甚深明照、空相要法、隨順緣起,立刻接受、全面接受。聽到那些說法的人,歡喜地崇尚修習,獲得出離的利益。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一二五九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如鐵丸投入火中,與火同色,盛放在劫貝綿中』

English version: 'Thus it is, monks! Cultivate the body, cultivate morality, cultivate the mind, cultivate wisdom. Because of cultivating the body, cultivating morality, cultivating the mind, cultivating wisdom, regarding the profound and illuminating sutras spoken by the Tathagata, which are difficult to see, difficult to perceive, immeasurable, subtle and definite, and known only by the wise, they will immediately accept and fully receive them. Hearing what is said, they will joyfully practice and benefit from liberation. Future monks, if they do not cultivate the body, do not cultivate morality, do not cultivate the mind, do not cultivate wisdom, when they hear the profound and illuminating teachings of the Tathagata, which are in accordance with emptiness and dependent origination, they will not immediately accept them, nor will they reach the point of acceptance. Those who hear such teachings will not joyfully practice them. Instead, they will focus on various worldly discussions, ornate language, and mundane phrases, accepting them wholeheartedly. Those who hear such teachings will joyfully practice them, but will not attain the benefit of liberation. For those who encounter the profound and illuminating teachings of the Tathagata, the essential teachings of emptiness, and dependent origination, they will perish, like a drum that is rotten and broken, leaving only a pile of wood. Therefore, monks! You should diligently and skillfully cultivate the body, cultivate morality, cultivate the mind, cultivate wisdom. Regarding the profound and illuminating teachings of the Tathagata, the essential teachings of emptiness, and dependent origination, accept them immediately and fully. Those who hear such teachings will joyfully practice them and benefit from liberation.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1259) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One told the monks: 'It is like an iron ball thrown into a fire, becoming the same color as the fire, and placed in a cotton cloth.'


。云何?比丘!當速燃不?」

比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「愚癡之人依聚落住,晨朝著衣持缽,入村乞食,不善護身,不守根門,心不繫念,若見年少女人,不正思惟,取其色相,起貪慾心;欲燒其心,欲燒其身;身心燒已,舍戒退減。是愚癡人長夜當得非義饒益。是故,比丘!當如是學:『善護其身,守護根門,繫念,入村乞食。』當如是學。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二六〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,有一貓貍,飢渴羸瘦,于孔穴中伺求鼠子。若鼠子出,當取食之。有時鼠子出穴遊戲,時,彼貓貍疾取吞之。鼠子身小,生入腹中;入腹中已,食其內藏,食內藏時,貓貍迷悶,東西狂走,空宅、塳間,不知何止,遂至於死。

「如是,比丘!有愚癡人依聚落住,晨朝著衣持缽,入村乞食,不善護身,不守根門,心不繫念,見諸女人,起不正思惟,而取色相,發貪慾心,貪慾發已,慾火熾燃,燒其身心;燒身心已,馳心狂逸,不樂精舍、不樂空閑、不樂樹下,為惡不善心侵食內法,舍戒退減,此愚癡人長夜常得不饒益苦

現代漢語譯本:『怎麼樣?比丘們!應該迅速燃燒嗎?』 比丘們回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『愚癡的人住在村落里,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入村莊乞食,不善於保護自己的身體,不守護根門,心不繫念。如果看到年輕的女人,就產生不正當的思惟,執著於她們的容貌,生起貪慾之心;貪慾會燃燒他的心,燃燒他的身體;身心被燃燒后,就會捨棄戒律,退失修行。這種愚癡的人長夜將得不到利益。因此,比丘們!應當這樣學習:『善於保護自己的身體,守護根門,繫念,進入村莊乞食。』應當這樣學習。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一二六〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴比丘們:『過去世的時候,有一隻貓貍,飢餓瘦弱,在洞穴中伺機尋找老鼠。如果老鼠出來,就抓來吃掉。有時老鼠出洞玩耍,這時,那隻貓貍迅速地抓住併吞食了它。老鼠身體很小,活著進入貓貍的腹中;進入腹中后,就啃食它的內臟。當啃食內臟時,貓貍感到迷亂昏沉,東西亂跑,在空屋、墳地之間,不知道停在哪裡,最終導致死亡。 『同樣,比丘們!有愚癡的人住在村落里,早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入村莊乞食,不善於保護自己的身體,不守護根門,心不繫念。看到各種女人,就產生不正當的思惟,執著於她們的容貌,生起貪慾之心。貪慾生起后,就如火焰般熾熱,燃燒他的身心;身心被燃燒后,心就放縱狂亂,不喜歡精舍、不喜歡空閑、不喜歡樹下,被邪惡不善的心侵蝕內法,捨棄戒律,退失修行。這種愚癡的人長夜將得不到利益和痛苦。』

English version: 'What do you think, bhikkhus? Should it be quickly ignited?' The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, venerable sir!' The Buddha told the bhikkhus, 'A foolish person, living in a village, puts on their robes in the morning, takes their bowl, and enters the village to beg for alms. They are not good at protecting their body, not guarding their sense doors, and their mind is not mindful. If they see a young woman, they engage in improper thoughts, fixating on her appearance, and a desire arises in their heart; desire will burn their heart, burn their body; once their body and mind are burned, they will abandon the precepts and fall away from practice. Such a foolish person will not gain benefit for a long time. Therefore, bhikkhus! You should train yourselves like this: 'Be good at protecting your body, guarding your sense doors, being mindful, and entering the village to beg for alms.' You should train yourselves like this.' After the Buddha finished speaking this discourse, the bhikkhus, having heard the Buddha's teachings, joyfully practiced them. (1260) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikkhus, 'In the past, there was a civet cat, hungry and emaciated, lurking in a hole, seeking mice. If a mouse came out, it would catch and eat it. Sometimes a mouse would come out of the hole to play, and then the civet cat would quickly seize and swallow it. The mouse was small, and it entered the civet cat's belly alive; once inside, it would eat its internal organs. While eating the internal organs, the civet cat would become confused and disoriented, running wildly in all directions, between empty houses and burial grounds, not knowing where to stop, and eventually it would die.' 'Similarly, bhikkhus! There are foolish people who live in villages, put on their robes in the morning, take their bowls, and enter the village to beg for alms. They are not good at protecting their bodies, not guarding their sense doors, and their minds are not mindful. When they see various women, they engage in improper thoughts, fixating on their appearances, and a desire arises in their hearts. Once desire arises, it burns like a flame, burning their body and mind; once their body and mind are burned, their minds become unrestrained and wild, they do not enjoy the monastery, do not enjoy solitude, do not enjoy being under trees, and they are consumed by evil and unwholesome thoughts, abandoning the precepts and falling away from practice. Such foolish people will not gain benefit and will suffer for a long time.'


。是故,比丘!當如是學:『善護其身,守諸根門,繫心正念,入村乞食。』當如是學。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二六一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「譬如木杵,常用不止,日夜消減。如是,比丘!若沙門、婆羅門從本以來,不閉根門,食不知量,初夜、后夜不勤覺悟修習善法,當知是輩終日損減,不增善法,如彼木杵。

「諸比丘!譬如優缽羅、缽曇摩、拘牟頭、分陀利生於水中,長於水中,隨水增長。如是,沙門、婆羅門善閉根門,飲食知量,初夜、后夜精勤覺悟,當知是等善根功德日夜增長,終不退減。當如是學:『善閉根門,飲食知量,初夜、后夜精勤覺悟,功德善法日夜增長。』當如是學。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二六二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,世尊於後夜時聞野狐鳴。

爾時,世尊夜過天明,于大眾前敷座而坐,告諸比丘:「汝等后夜時聞野狐鳴不?」

諸比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告諸比丘:「有一愚癡人作如是念:『令我受身得如是形類,作如是聲

現代漢語譯本:因此,比丘們!應當這樣學習:『善於守護自己的身體,守住六根的門戶,繫念正念,進入村莊乞食。』應當這樣學習。」 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一二六一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『譬如木杵,經常使用不停,日夜都在損耗。同樣,比丘們!如果沙門、婆羅門從一開始就不關閉六根的門戶,飲食不知節制,初夜和后夜不勤奮覺悟修習善法,應當知道這些人終日都在損耗,不增長善法,就像那木杵一樣。』 『諸比丘!譬如優缽羅、缽曇摩、拘牟頭、分陀利生長在水中,在水中長大,隨著水而增長。同樣,沙門、婆羅門善於關閉六根的門戶,飲食知量,初夜和后夜精勤覺悟,應當知道這些人善根功德日夜增長,終不退減。應當這樣學習:『善於關閉六根的門戶,飲食知量,初夜和后夜精勤覺悟,功德善法日夜增長。』應當這樣學習。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一二六二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,世尊在後半夜聽到野狐的叫聲。 當時,世尊天亮后,在大眾前鋪好座位坐下,告訴眾比丘:『你們後半夜聽到野狐的叫聲了嗎?』 眾比丘回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『有一個愚癡的人這樣想:『讓我受生得到這樣的形體,發出這樣的聲音』

English version: Therefore, bhikkhus! You should train yourselves thus: 『We will be well-guarded in body, we will guard the doors of our senses, we will establish mindfulness, and we will enter the village for alms.』 Thus you should train yourselves.」 When the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and rejoiced in what the Buddha had said. (1261) Thus have I heard: At one time the Buddha was dwelling at Sāvatthī in Jeta』s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika』s Park. Then the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 『Bhikkhus, just as a wooden pestle, being constantly used, wears away day and night, so too, bhikkhus, if a recluse or brahmin from the beginning does not guard the doors of his senses, is not moderate in eating, and does not diligently awaken to practice good qualities in the first and last watches of the night, it should be known that such a one is worn away all day long and does not increase in good qualities, like that wooden pestle.』 『Bhikkhus, just as blue lotuses, red lotuses, white lotuses, and white water lilies are born in the water, grow in the water, and increase in size with the water, so too, bhikkhus, if a recluse or brahmin guards the doors of his senses well, is moderate in eating, and diligently awakens to practice good qualities in the first and last watches of the night, it should be known that such a one』s roots of good and meritorious qualities increase day and night and never diminish. You should train yourselves thus: 『We will guard the doors of our senses well, we will be moderate in eating, and we will diligently awaken to practice good qualities in the first and last watches of the night, so that our meritorious qualities and good qualities will increase day and night.』 Thus you should train yourselves.』 When the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the bhikkhus were delighted and rejoiced in what the Buddha had said. (1262) Thus have I heard: At one time the Buddha was dwelling at Rājagaha in the Bamboo Grove, the Squirrels』 Sanctuary. Then, in the last watch of the night, the Blessed One heard the cry of a jackal. Then, when the night had passed and it was dawn, the Blessed One sat down on the seat prepared for him in the presence of the Sangha and addressed the bhikkhus, saying: 『Bhikkhus, did you hear the cry of a jackal in the last watch of the night?』 The bhikkhus replied to the Blessed One: 『Yes, venerable sir.』 The Buddha said to the bhikkhus: 『There is a foolish person who thinks thus: 『May I obtain a body of such a kind, and make such a sound.』


。』此愚癡人慾求如是像類處所受生,何足不得?是故,比丘!汝等但當精勤方便,求斷諸有,莫作方便,增長諸有,當如是學。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二六三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「我不讚嘆受少有身,況復多受?所以者何?受有者苦。譬如糞屎,少亦臭穢,何況于多?如是諸有,少亦不嘆,乃至剎那,況復于多?所以者何?有者,苦故。是故,比丘!當如是學:『斷除諸有,莫增長有。』當如是學。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,世尊夜後分時聞野狐鳴。

是夜過已,于大眾前敷座而坐,告諸比丘:「汝等於夜後分聞野狐鳴不?」

比丘白佛:「如是,世尊!」

佛告比丘:「彼野狐者,疥瘡所困,是故鳴喚。若能有人為彼野狐治疥瘡者,野狐必當知恩報恩。而今有一愚癡之人,無有知恩報恩。是故,諸比丘!當如是學:『知恩報恩。』其有小恩尚報,終不忘失,況復大恩?」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:『這個愚癡的人想要尋求像那樣的地方受生,怎麼可能得不到呢?因此,比丘們!你們應當精勤方便,尋求斷除各種有,不要製造方便,增長各種有,應當這樣學習。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一二六三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 那時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『我不讚嘆接受少許的有身,更何況是接受更多?這是為什麼呢?因為接受有身是痛苦的。譬如糞便,即使少量也是臭穢的,何況是大量?像這樣,各種有,即使是少許也不值得讚歎,乃至剎那,更何況是更多?這是為什麼呢?因為有身是痛苦的。因此,比丘們!應當這樣學習:『斷除各種有,不要增長有。』應當這樣學習。』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一二六四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。那時,世尊在夜后時分聽到野狐的叫聲。 這夜過後,佛陀在大眾前鋪設座位坐下,告訴眾比丘:『你們在夜后時分聽到野狐的叫聲了嗎?』 比丘們回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!』 佛陀告訴比丘們:『那隻野狐,是被疥瘡所困擾,所以才鳴叫。如果有人能為那隻野狐治療疥瘡,野狐必定會知恩報恩。而現在有一個愚癡的人,卻不知恩報恩。因此,比丘們!應當這樣學習:『知恩報恩。』即使是小恩尚且報答,終究不會忘記,更何況是大恩呢?』 佛陀說完這部經后,比丘們聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。

English version: 'This foolish person desires to seek rebirth in such a place, how could they not obtain it? Therefore, monks! You should diligently strive to abandon all forms of existence, do not create means to increase them, you should learn in this way.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1263) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'I do not praise accepting even a little bit of existence, how much less accepting a lot? Why is that? Because accepting existence is suffering. For example, feces, even a small amount is foul and stinky, how much more so a large amount? Likewise, all forms of existence, even a little is not praiseworthy, even for a moment, how much less a lot? Why is that? Because existence is suffering. Therefore, monks! You should learn in this way: 'Abandon all forms of existence, do not increase them.' You should learn in this way.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1264) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the World Honored One heard the cry of a jackal in the later part of the night. After the night had passed, the Buddha sat down on a seat prepared before the assembly and told the monks: 'Did you hear the cry of a jackal in the later part of the night?' The monks replied to the Buddha: 'Yes, World Honored One!' The Buddha told the monks: 'That jackal is afflicted by mange, and that is why it cries out. If someone could cure that jackal of its mange, the jackal would surely know gratitude and repay the kindness. But now there is a foolish person who does not know gratitude or repay kindness. Therefore, monks! You should learn in this way: 'Know gratitude and repay kindness.' Even a small kindness should be repaid, and never forgotten, how much more so a great kindness?' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.


(一二六五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。爾時,有尊者跋迦梨住王舍城金師精舍,疾病困苦,尊者富鄰尼瞻視供養。

時,跋迦梨語富鄰尼:「汝可詣世尊所,為我稽首禮世尊足,問訊世尊少病少惱、起居輕利、安樂住不?言:『跋迦梨住金師精舍,疾病困篤,委積床褥,愿見世尊。疾病困苦,氣力羸惙,無由奉詣。唯愿世尊降此金師精舍,以哀愍故!』」

時,富鄰尼受跋迦梨語已,詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!尊者跋迦梨稽首世尊足,問訊世尊少病少惱、起居輕利、安樂住不?」

世尊答言:「令彼安樂。」

富鄰尼白佛言:「世尊!尊者跋迦梨住金師精舍,疾病困篤,委在床褥,愿見世尊,無有身力來詣世尊。善哉!世尊!詣金師精舍,以哀愍故!」

爾時,世尊默然聽許。時,富鄰尼知世尊聽許已,禮足而去。

爾時,世尊晡時從禪覺,往詣金師精舍,至跋迦梨住房。跋迦梨比丘遙見世尊,從床欲起。

佛告跋迦梨:「且止!勿起!」

世尊即坐異床,語跋迦梨:「汝心堪忍此病苦不?汝身所患,為增、為損?」

跋迦梨白佛……如前叉摩比丘修多羅廣說

現代漢語譯本: (一二六五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,有位尊者跋迦梨住在王舍城的金匠精舍,他身患重病,非常痛苦,尊者富鄰尼在照料和供養他。 當時,跋迦梨對富鄰尼說:『你可以去世尊那裡,替我向世尊頂禮,問候世尊是否少病少惱、起居輕便、安樂居住?並告訴世尊:『跋迦梨住在金匠精舍,身患重病,臥床不起,希望見到世尊。他病痛纏身,氣力衰弱,無法親自前往。唯愿世尊能降臨到這金匠精舍,以慈悲憐憫之心!』 當時,富鄰尼接受了跋迦梨的話,前往世尊那裡,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,對佛說:『世尊!尊者跋迦梨向世尊頂禮,問候世尊是否少病少惱、起居輕便、安樂居住?』 世尊回答說:『讓他安樂。』 富鄰尼對佛說:『世尊!尊者跋迦梨住在金匠精舍,身患重病,臥床不起,希望見到世尊,但沒有力氣前來拜見世尊。善哉!世尊!請您前往金匠精舍,以慈悲憐憫之心!』 當時,世尊默然允許。當時,富鄰尼知道世尊允許后,頂禮佛足離去。 當時,世尊在下午從禪定中醒來,前往金匠精舍,來到跋迦梨的住處。跋迦梨比丘遠遠地看見世尊,想要從床上起來。 佛陀告訴跋迦梨:『不要動!不要起來!』 世尊隨即坐到另一張床上,對跋迦梨說:『你的心能忍受這病痛嗎?你身上的疾病,是加重了還是減輕了?』 跋迦梨對佛說……如同之前叉摩比丘修多羅所廣說的那樣。

English version: (1265) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, there was a venerable Bhakkali residing in the goldsmith's monastery in Rajagriha, suffering from a severe illness. The venerable Phullani was attending to and providing for him. Then, Bhakkali said to Phullani, 'You should go to the World-Honored One, bow down to the World-Honored One's feet on my behalf, and inquire whether the World-Honored One is free from illness and trouble, whether his movements are light and easy, and whether he dwells in peace. Say: 『Bhakkali is residing in the goldsmith's monastery, suffering from a severe illness, confined to his bed, and wishes to see the World-Honored One. He is afflicted with illness, his strength is weak, and he has no way to come. May the World-Honored One please come to this goldsmith's monastery, out of compassion!』』 Then, Phullani, having received Bhakkali's words, went to the World-Honored One, bowed down at his feet, and stood to one side, saying to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One! The venerable Bhakkali bows down at the World-Honored One's feet, and inquires whether the World-Honored One is free from illness and trouble, whether his movements are light and easy, and whether he dwells in peace?' The World-Honored One replied, 'Let him be at peace.' Phullani said to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One! The venerable Bhakkali is residing in the goldsmith's monastery, suffering from a severe illness, confined to his bed, and wishes to see the World-Honored One, but has no strength to come to the World-Honored One. Good, World-Honored One! Please go to the goldsmith's monastery, out of compassion!' At that time, the World-Honored One silently consented. Then, Phullani, knowing that the World-Honored One had consented, bowed down at his feet and departed. Then, the World-Honored One, in the afternoon, arose from meditation and went to the goldsmith's monastery, arriving at Bhakkali's dwelling. The Bhikkhu Bhakkali, seeing the World-Honored One from afar, tried to rise from his bed. The Buddha said to Bhakkali, 'Stay still! Do not rise!' The World-Honored One then sat on another bed and said to Bhakkali, 'Can your mind endure this suffering? Is your illness increasing or decreasing?' Bhakkali replied to the Buddha... as it was extensively explained in the previous Chamma Bhikkhu Sutra.


。「世尊!我身苦痛,極難堪忍,欲求刀自殺,不樂苦生。」

佛告跋迦梨:「我今問汝,隨意答我。云何?跋迦梨!色是常耶?為非常耶?」

跋迦梨答言:「無常。世尊!」

復問:「若無常,是苦耶?」

答言:「是苦。世尊!」

復問:「跋迦梨!若無常、苦者,是變易法,于中寧有可貪、可欲不?」

跋迦梨白佛:「不也,世尊!」受、想、行、識亦如是說。

佛告跋迦梨:「若於彼身無可貪、可欲者,是則善終,後世亦善。」

爾時,世尊為跋迦梨種種說法,示、教、照、喜已,從座起去。即于彼夜,尊者跋迦梨思惟解脫,欲執刀自殺,不樂久生。

時,有二天身極端正,於後夜時詣世尊所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!尊者跋迦梨疾病困苦,思惟解脫,欲執刀自殺,不樂久生。」

第二天言:「彼尊者跋迦梨已於善解脫而得解脫。」說此語已,俱禮佛足,即沒不現。

爾時,世尊夜過晨朝,于大眾前敷座而坐,告諸比丘:「昨夜有二天子,形體端正,來詣我所,稽首作禮,退住一面。而作是言:『尊者跋迦梨住金師精舍,疾病困苦,思惟解脫,欲執刀自殺,不樂久生。』第二天言:『尊者跋迦梨已於善解脫而得解脫

現代漢語譯本:『世尊!我身體的痛苦,極其難以忍受,想要用刀自殺,不願再忍受這痛苦的生命。』 佛陀告訴跋迦梨:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。怎麼樣?跋迦梨!色是永恒的嗎?還是無常的呢?』 跋迦梨回答說:『是無常的,世尊!』 佛陀又問:『如果無常,那是痛苦嗎?』 回答說:『是痛苦的,世尊!』 佛陀又問:『跋迦梨!如果無常、是痛苦的,是會變化的,對於它,難道會有什麼值得貪戀、值得慾望的嗎?』 跋迦梨對佛說:『不會的,世尊!』受、想、行、識也像這樣說。 佛陀告訴跋迦梨:『如果對於那個身體沒有什麼值得貪戀、值得慾望的,那麼就是善終,後世也會很好。』 當時,世尊為跋迦梨說了種種佛法,開示、教導、啓發、使他歡喜后,就從座位起身離開了。就在那天晚上,尊者跋迦梨思索解脫之道,想要拿起刀自殺,不願再活下去。 當時,有兩位天人,身體極其端正,在後半夜來到世尊所在的地方,叩頭頂禮佛足,退到一旁站立,對佛說:『世尊!尊者跋迦梨疾病纏身,痛苦不堪,思索解脫之道,想要拿起刀自殺,不願再活下去。』 第二天人說:『那位尊者跋迦梨已經通過善解脫而獲得解脫。』說完這話,他們一起禮拜佛足,就消失不見了。 當時,世尊在夜晚過去,早晨來到,在大眾面前鋪設座位坐下,告訴眾比丘:『昨天晚上有兩位天子,形體端正,來到我這裡,叩頭作禮,退到一旁站立。他們這樣說:『尊者跋迦梨住在金師精舍,疾病纏身,痛苦不堪,思索解脫之道,想要拿起刀自殺,不願再活下去。』第二天人說:『尊者跋迦梨已經通過善解脫而獲得解脫。』

English version: 『Venerable Sir! The pain in my body is extremely unbearable. I wish to kill myself with a knife, as I cannot endure this painful life.』 The Buddha said to Bakkali, 『I will now ask you, answer me as you please. How is it, Bakkali? Is form permanent or impermanent?』 Bakkali replied, 『Impermanent, Venerable Sir!』 He asked again, 『If it is impermanent, is it suffering?』 He replied, 『It is suffering, Venerable Sir!』 He asked again, 『Bakkali! If it is impermanent and suffering, and subject to change, is there anything in it that is worth craving or desiring?』 Bakkali said to the Buddha, 『No, Venerable Sir!』 The same is said of feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. The Buddha said to Bakkali, 『If there is nothing in that body that is worth craving or desiring, then that is a good end, and the afterlife will also be good.』 At that time, the World Honored One spoke various teachings to Bakkali, showing, teaching, illuminating, and gladdening him. Then he rose from his seat and left. That very night, Venerable Bakkali contemplated liberation, wishing to take a knife and kill himself, unwilling to live any longer. At that time, two devas, with extremely beautiful forms, came to the World Honored One in the latter part of the night, bowed their heads to his feet, retreated to one side, and said to the Buddha, 『Venerable Sir! Venerable Bakkali is afflicted with illness and suffering, contemplating liberation, wishing to take a knife and kill himself, unwilling to live any longer.』 The second deva said, 『That Venerable Bakkali has already attained liberation through good liberation.』 Having said this, they both bowed to the Buddha's feet and disappeared. At that time, the World Honored One, after the night had passed and morning had come, spread out a seat and sat down before the assembly, and said to the monks, 『Last night, two devas, with beautiful forms, came to me, bowed their heads in reverence, and retreated to one side. They said this: 『Venerable Bakkali, residing in the goldsmith's monastery, is afflicted with illness and suffering, contemplating liberation, wishing to take a knife and kill himself, unwilling to live any longer.』 The second deva said, 『Venerable Bakkali has already attained liberation through good liberation.』


。』說此語已,稽首作禮,即沒不現。」

爾時,世尊告一比丘:「汝當往詣尊者跋迦梨比丘所,語跋迦梨言:『昨夜有二天來詣我所,稽首作禮,退住一面,語我言:「尊者跋迦梨疾病困篤,思惟解脫,欲執刀自殺,不樂久生。」第二天言:「尊者跋迦梨于善解脫而得解脫。」說此語已,即沒不現。此是天語,佛復記汝:「汝於此身不起貪慾,是則善終,後世亦善。」』」

時,彼比丘受世尊教已,詣金師精舍跋迦梨房。

爾時,跋迦梨語侍病者:「汝等持繩床,共舉我身,著精舍外,我欲執刀自殺,不樂久生。」

時,有眾多比丘出房舍,露地經行。受使比丘詣眾多比丘所,問眾多比丘言:「諸尊!跋迦梨比丘住在何所?」

諸比丘答言:「跋迦梨比丘告侍病者,令舉繩床,出精舍外,欲執刀自殺,不樂久生。」受使比丘即詣跋迦梨所。

跋迦梨比丘遙見使比丘來,語侍病者:「下繩床著地,彼比丘疾來,似世尊使。」彼侍病者即下繩床著地。

時,彼使比丘語跋迦梨:「世尊有教及天有所說。」

時,跋迦梨語侍病者:「扶我著地,不可於床上受世尊教及天所說。」時,侍病者即扶跋迦梨,下置於地。

時,跋迦梨言:「汝可宣示世尊告敕及天所說

現代漢語譯本:說完這話,他們稽首行禮,隨即消失不見。 當時,世尊告訴一位比丘:『你應當去拜訪尊者跋迦梨比丘,告訴跋迦梨說:「昨夜有兩位天人來到我這裡,稽首行禮,退到一旁站立,告訴我:『尊者跋迦梨疾病纏身,非常痛苦,想要尋求解脫,打算執刀自殺,不願長久活在世上。』第二天人說:『尊者跋迦梨在善解脫中獲得解脫。』」說完這話,他們就消失不見了。這是天人所說的話,佛陀又囑咐你:「你對此身不起貪慾,這樣就能善終,後世也會安好。」』 當時,那位比丘接受世尊的教誨后,就前往金匠精舍跋迦梨的住處。 當時,跋迦梨對侍奉他的人說:『你們拿著繩床,一起抬起我的身體,放到精舍外面,我想要執刀自殺,不願長久活在世上。』 當時,有很多比丘走出房舍,在空地上經行。受命的比丘走到眾多比丘那裡,問他們說:『諸位尊者!跋迦梨比丘住在哪裡?』 那些比丘回答說:『跋迦梨比丘告訴侍奉他的人,讓他們抬起繩床,把他抬到精舍外面,他想要執刀自殺,不願長久活在世上。』受命的比丘立刻前往跋迦梨那裡。 跋迦梨比丘遠遠地看見使者比丘來了,就對侍奉他的人說:『把繩床放下,放在地上,那位比丘快速走來,像是世尊派來的使者。』那些侍奉他的人就把繩床放在地上。 當時,那位使者比丘對跋迦梨說:『世尊有教誨,並且天人也有所說。』 當時,跋迦梨對侍奉他的人說:『扶我到地上,不能在床上接受世尊的教誨和天人所說。』當時,侍奉他的人就扶著跋迦梨,把他放到地上。 當時,跋迦梨說:『你可以宣說世尊的教誨和天人所說的話。』

English version: Having spoken these words, they bowed their heads in reverence, and then vanished. At that time, the World-Honored One said to a certain monk: 'You should go to the Venerable Bakkali, and tell Bakkali: 「Last night, two devas came to me, bowed their heads in reverence, stepped back and stood to one side, and said to me: 『Venerable Bakkali is severely ill and suffering, seeking liberation, and intends to take his own life with a knife, unwilling to live any longer.』 The second deva said: 『Venerable Bakkali has attained liberation through skillful liberation.』」 Having spoken these words, they vanished. These are the words of the devas, and the Buddha further instructs you: 「If you do not arise with craving for this body, then you will have a good end, and your future life will also be good.」』 At that time, that monk, having received the World-Honored One's instruction, went to Bakkali's dwelling at the Goldsmith's Monastery. At that time, Bakkali said to his attendants: 'You all take the rope bed, lift my body together, and place it outside the monastery. I wish to take my own life with a knife, unwilling to live any longer.' At that time, many monks came out of their dwellings and were walking in the open. The messenger monk went to the many monks and asked them: 'Venerable ones! Where does the monk Bakkali reside?' Those monks replied: 'The monk Bakkali told his attendants to lift the rope bed and carry him outside the monastery. He intends to take his own life with a knife, unwilling to live any longer.' The messenger monk immediately went to Bakkali. The monk Bakkali, seeing the messenger monk coming from afar, said to his attendants: 'Lower the rope bed to the ground. That monk is coming quickly, he seems to be a messenger sent by the World-Honored One.' Those attendants then lowered the rope bed to the ground. At that time, that messenger monk said to Bakkali: 'The World-Honored One has an instruction, and the devas have also spoken.' At that time, Bakkali said to his attendants: 'Help me to the ground, it is not proper to receive the World-Honored One's instruction and the words of the devas while on the bed.' At that time, the attendants helped Bakkali down and placed him on the ground. At that time, Bakkali said: 'You may proclaim the World-Honored One's instruction and the words of the devas.'


。」

使比丘言:「跋迦梨!大師告汝:『夜有二天來白我言:「跋迦梨比丘疾病困篤,思惟解脫,欲執刀自殺,不樂久生。」第二天言:「跋迦梨比丘已於善解脫而得解脫。」說此語已,即沒不現。』世尊復記說,汝善於命終,後世亦善。」

跋迦梨言:「尊者!大師善知所知,善見所見;彼二天者亦善知所知,善見所見。然我今日於色常、無常,決定無疑;無常者是苦,決定無疑。若無常、苦者,是變易法,于彼無有可貪、可欲,決定無疑。受、想、行、識亦復如是。然我今日疾病苦痛猶故隨身,欲刀自殺,不樂久生。」即執刀自殺。

時,使比丘供養跋迦梨死身已,還詣佛所,稽首禮足,退坐一面,白佛言:「世尊!我以世尊所敕,具告尊者跋迦梨。彼作是言:『大師善知所知,善見所見;彼二天者亦善知所知,善見所見……』」廣說乃至「執刀自殺。」

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「共詣金師精舍跋迦梨尸所。」見跋迦梨死身,有遠離之色。見已,語諸比丘:「汝等見是跋迦梨比丘死身在地,有遠離之色不?」

諸比丘白佛:「已見。世尊!」

復告諸比丘:「繞跋迦梨身,四面周匝,有闇冥之相圍繞身不?」

諸比丘白佛:「已見

現代漢語譯本 使比丘對跋迦梨說:『跋迦梨!大師告訴你:「昨晚有兩位天人來告訴我:『比丘跋迦梨病重垂危,思求解脫,想要執刀自殺,不願久活。』另一位天人說:『比丘跋迦梨已經從善解脫中得到解脫。』說完這些話,他們就消失不見了。」世尊還預言說,你善於臨終,來世也會很好。』 跋迦梨說:『尊者!大師善於知曉所知,善於看見所見;那兩位天人也善於知曉所知,善於看見所見。然而我今天對於色是常還是無常,已經確定無疑;無常就是苦,也確定無疑。如果無常、是苦,那就是變易之法,對於它沒有什麼可貪戀、可欲望的,確定無疑。受、想、行、識也是如此。然而我今天疾病的痛苦仍然纏身,想要執刀自殺,不願久活。』說完就執刀自殺了。 當時,使者比丘供養了跋迦梨的遺體后,回到佛陀那裡,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!我按照世尊的吩咐,把話都告訴了尊者跋迦梨。他這樣說:「大師善於知曉所知,善於看見所見;那兩位天人也善於知曉所知,善於看見所見……」』一直說到『執刀自殺。』 當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:『一起去金匠精舍看跋迦梨的遺體。』看到跋迦梨的遺體,呈現出一種遠離塵俗的顏色。看完后,對眾比丘說:『你們看到這跋迦梨比丘的遺體躺在地上,呈現出一種遠離塵俗的顏色嗎?』 眾比丘回答佛陀:『看到了,世尊!』 佛陀又告訴眾比丘:『圍繞跋迦梨的遺體,四面都有黑暗的景象圍繞著嗎?』 眾比丘回答佛陀:『看到了。』

English version The messenger bhikkhu said to Bakkali, 'Bakkali! The Master tells you: 「Last night, two devas came to me and said, 『The bhikkhu Bakkali is seriously ill and near death, seeking liberation, wanting to take a knife to kill himself, and not wanting to live long.』 The other deva said, 『The bhikkhu Bakkali has already attained liberation from the good liberation.』 After saying these words, they disappeared.」 The World Honored One also predicted that you are good at dying, and your next life will also be good.』 Bakkali said, 『Venerable One! The Master is good at knowing what is to be known, and good at seeing what is to be seen; those two devas are also good at knowing what is to be known, and good at seeing what is to be seen. However, today I am certain about whether form is permanent or impermanent; impermanence is suffering, I am also certain. If it is impermanent and suffering, then it is a changing phenomenon, and there is nothing to be greedy for or desire for, I am certain. The same is true for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. However, today the pain of my illness still afflicts me, and I want to take a knife to kill myself, and I do not want to live long.』 After saying this, he took a knife and killed himself. At that time, the messenger bhikkhu, after making offerings to Bakkali's body, returned to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha, 『World Honored One! According to the World Honored One's instructions, I told Venerable Bakkali everything. He said, 「The Master is good at knowing what is to be known, and good at seeing what is to be seen; those two devas are also good at knowing what is to be known, and good at seeing what is to be seen…」』 and continued until 『took a knife and killed himself.』 At that time, the World Honored One told the bhikkhus, 『Let us go together to the goldsmith's monastery to see Bakkali's body.』 Seeing Bakkali's body, it had a color of detachment from the mundane. After seeing it, he said to the bhikkhus, 『Do you see that this bhikkhu Bakkali's body is lying on the ground, and it has a color of detachment from the mundane?』 The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha, 『We have seen it, World Honored One!』 The Buddha again told the bhikkhus, 『Around Bakkali's body, on all four sides, is there a dark appearance surrounding the body?』 The bhikkhus replied to the Buddha, 『We have seen it.』


。世尊!」

佛告諸比丘:「此是惡魔之像,周匝求覓跋迦梨善男子識神當生何處。」

佛告諸比丘:「跋迦梨善男子不住識神,以刀自殺。」

爾時,世尊為彼跋迦梨說第一記。

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二六六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。時,有尊者闡陀,住那羅聚落好衣庵羅林中,疾病困篤。

時,尊者舍利弗聞尊者闡陀在那羅聚落好衣庵羅林中,疾病困篤。聞已,語尊者摩訶拘絺羅:「尊者知不?闡陀比丘在那羅聚落好衣庵羅林中疾病困篤,當往共看。」摩訶拘絺羅默然許之。

時,尊者舍利弗與尊者摩訶拘絺羅共詣那羅聚落好衣庵羅林中,至尊者闡陀住房。

尊者闡陀遙見尊者舍利弗、尊者摩訶拘絺羅,憑床欲起。

尊者舍利弗語尊者闡陀:「汝且莫起!」

尊者舍利弗、尊者摩訶拘絺羅坐于異床,問尊者闡陀:「云何?尊者闡陀!所患為可堪忍不?為增、為損?……」如前叉摩修多羅廣說。

尊者闡陀言:「我今身病,極患苦痛,難可堪忍。所起之病,但增無損,唯欲執刀自殺,不樂苦活

現代漢語譯本 『世尊!』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『這是惡魔的化身,它四處尋找跋迦梨善男子,想知道他的識神會投生到哪裡。』 佛陀告訴眾比丘:『跋迦梨善男子因為不執著于識神,用刀自殺了。』 當時,世尊為跋迦梨說了第一句偈語。 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜地奉行。 (一二六六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。當時,有位尊者名叫闡陀,住在納羅聚落的好衣庵羅林中,身患重病,非常痛苦。 當時,尊者舍利弗聽說尊者闡陀在納羅聚落的好衣庵羅林中身患重病,非常痛苦。聽后,他告訴尊者摩訶拘絺羅:『尊者知道嗎?闡陀比丘在納羅聚落的好衣庵羅林中身患重病,非常痛苦,我們應該一起去看看他。』摩訶拘絺羅默許了。 當時,尊者舍利弗和尊者摩訶拘絺羅一同前往納羅聚落的好衣庵羅林,到達了尊者闡陀的住處。 尊者闡陀遠遠地看見尊者舍利弗和尊者摩訶拘絺羅,想要從床上起身。 尊者舍利弗告訴尊者闡陀:『你先別起來!』 尊者舍利弗和尊者摩訶拘絺羅坐在另一張床上,問尊者闡陀:『怎麼樣?尊者闡陀!你的病還能忍受嗎?是加重了還是減輕了?』……就像之前的叉摩修多羅經中詳細說的那樣。 尊者闡陀說:『我現在身體的病痛,非常痛苦,難以忍受。所患的病,只是加重沒有減輕,只想拿起刀自殺,不想痛苦地活下去。』

English version 'Venerable Sir!' The Buddha told the monks, 'This is an apparition of Mara, seeking around to find where the consciousness of the good man Vakkali will be reborn.' The Buddha told the monks, 'The good man Vakkali, not clinging to consciousness, killed himself with a knife.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke the first verse for Vakkali. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1266) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, there was a venerable named Chanda, who was staying in the Good Cloth Mango Grove in Narala village, suffering from a severe illness. At that time, Venerable Sariputta heard that Venerable Chanda was in the Good Cloth Mango Grove in Narala village, suffering from a severe illness. Having heard this, he said to Venerable Maha Kotthita, 'Venerable, do you know? The monk Chanda is in the Good Cloth Mango Grove in Narala village, suffering from a severe illness. We should go together to see him.' Maha Kotthita silently agreed. At that time, Venerable Sariputta and Venerable Maha Kotthita went together to the Good Cloth Mango Grove in Narala village, arriving at Venerable Chanda's dwelling. Venerable Chanda, seeing Venerable Sariputta and Venerable Maha Kotthita from afar, tried to get up from his bed. Venerable Sariputta said to Venerable Chanda, 'You should not get up yet!' Venerable Sariputta and Venerable Maha Kotthita sat on another bed and asked Venerable Chanda, 'How is it, Venerable Chanda? Is your illness bearable? Is it getting worse or better?'... as described in detail in the previous Chamma Sutta. Venerable Chanda said, 'My current physical illness is extremely painful and unbearable. The illness I have is only getting worse, not better. I only want to take a knife and kill myself, not live in suffering.'


。」

尊者舍利弗言:「尊者闡陀!汝當努力,莫自傷害!若汝在世,我當與汝來往周旋;汝若有乏,我當給汝如法湯藥;汝若無看病人,我當看汝,必令適意,非不適意。」

闡陀答言:「我有供養,那羅聚落諸婆羅門長者悉見看視,衣被、飲食、臥具、湯藥無所乏少;自有弟子修梵行者隨意瞻病,非不適意。但我疾病苦痛逼身,難可堪忍,唯欲自殺,不樂苦生。」

舍利弗言:「我今問汝,隨意答我。闡陀!眼及眼識、眼所識色,彼寧是我、異我、相在不?」

闡陀答言:「不也。」

尊者舍利弗復問:「闡陀!耳、鼻、舌、身、意及意識、意識所識法,彼寧是我、異我、相在不?」

闡陀答言:「不也。」

尊者舍利弗復問:「闡陀!汝于眼、眼識及色,為何所見、何所識、何所知故,言眼、眼識及色,非我、不異我、不相在?」

闡陀答言:「我于眼、眼識及色,見滅、知滅故,見眼、眼識及色,非我、不異我、不相在

現代漢語譯本 舍利弗尊者說:『闡陀尊者!你應當努力修行,不要傷害自己!如果你在世,我將與你來往相處;如果你有所缺乏,我將依法給你湯藥;如果你沒有照顧你的人,我將照顧你,必定讓你感到舒適,不會讓你不適。』 闡陀回答說:『我有人供養,那羅聚落的婆羅門長者們都來看望我,衣物、飲食、臥具、湯藥都不缺乏;有弟子修行梵行,隨意照顧我的病,不會讓我感到不適。但是我的疾病痛苦逼迫身體,難以忍受,只想自殺,不願忍受痛苦的活著。』 舍利弗說:『我現在問你,你隨意回答我。闡陀!眼睛以及眼識、眼睛所識別的顏色,它們是『我』、與『我』不同、還是在『我』之中?』 闡陀回答說:『不是。』 舍利弗尊者又問:『闡陀!耳朵、鼻子、舌頭、身體、意識以及意識所識別的法,它們是『我』、與『我』不同、還是在『我』之中?』 闡陀回答說:『不是。』 舍利弗尊者又問:『闡陀!你對於眼睛、眼識以及顏色,因為看到什麼、知道什麼、認識到什麼,所以說眼睛、眼識以及顏色,不是『我』、不與『我』不同、不在『我』之中?』 闡陀回答說:『我對於眼睛、眼識以及顏色,因為看到它們的滅、知道它們的滅,所以說眼睛、眼識以及顏色,不是『我』、不與『我』不同、不在『我』之中。』

English version Venerable Sariputra said: 'Venerable Chanda! You should strive diligently and not harm yourself! If you are alive, I will associate with you; if you are in need, I will provide you with lawful medicine; if you have no one to care for you, I will care for you, ensuring your comfort and not discomfort.' Chanda replied: 'I have support; the Brahmin elders of Narapura all come to see me, and I lack nothing in terms of clothing, food, bedding, and medicine. There are disciples who practice the holy life who willingly care for my illness, and I am not uncomfortable. However, the pain of my illness is pressing upon my body, making it unbearable. I only wish to kill myself and do not want to endure a painful life.' Sariputra said: 'I will now ask you, and you may answer as you wish. Chanda! Are the eye, eye-consciousness, and the colors perceived by the eye, 'I', different from 'I', or within 'I'?' Chanda replied: 'No.' Venerable Sariputra asked again: 'Chanda! Are the ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, and the phenomena perceived by mind-consciousness, 'I', different from 'I', or within 'I'?' Chanda replied: 'No.' Venerable Sariputra asked again: 'Chanda! Regarding the eye, eye-consciousness, and colors, because of what you have seen, known, and understood, do you say that the eye, eye-consciousness, and colors are not 'I', not different from 'I', and not within 'I'?' Chanda replied: 'Regarding the eye, eye-consciousness, and colors, because I have seen their cessation and known their cessation, I say that the eye, eye-consciousness, and colors are not 'I', not different from 'I', and not within 'I'.'


。」

復問:「闡陀!汝于耳、鼻、舌、身、意、意識及法,何所見、何所知故,于意、意識及法,見非我、不異我、不相在?」

闡陀答言:「尊者舍利弗!我于意、意識及法,見滅、知滅故,于意、意識及法,見非我、不異我、不相在。尊者舍利弗!然我今日身病苦痛,不能堪忍,欲以刀自殺,不樂苦生。」

時,尊者摩訶拘絺羅語尊者闡陀:「汝今當於大師修習正念,如所說句:『有所依者,則為動搖;動搖者,有所趣向;趣曏者,為不休息;不休息者,則隨趣往來;隨趣往來者,則有未來生死;有未來生死故,有未來出沒;有未來出沒故,則有生、老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱。如是純一苦聚集。』如所說句:『無所依者,則不動搖;不動搖者,得無趣向;無趣曏者,則有止息;有止息故,則不隨趣往來;不隨趣往來,則無未來出沒,無未來出沒者;則無生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。如是純大苦聚滅。』」

闡陀言:「尊者摩訶拘絺羅!供養世尊事,於今畢矣!隨順善逝,今已畢矣!適意,非不適意。弟子所作,於今已作。若復有餘弟子所作供養師者,亦當如是供養大師,適意,非不適意。然我今日身病苦痛,難可堪忍,唯欲以刀自殺,不樂苦生

復問:『闡陀!你對於耳、鼻、舌、身、意、意識以及法,是看到了什麼、瞭解了什麼,才認為意、意識以及法,不是我、不異於我、不相依存在?』 闡陀回答說:『尊者舍利弗!我對於意、意識以及法,看到的是它們的滅、瞭解到的是它們的滅,所以才認為意、意識以及法,不是我、不異於我、不相依存在。尊者舍利弗!然而我今天身體病痛難忍,想要用刀自殺,不願再承受痛苦。』 這時,尊者摩訶拘絺羅對尊者闡陀說:『你現在應當按照大師所教導的,修習正念,就像大師所說的:『有所依賴,就會動搖;動搖,就會有所趨向;有所趨向,就會不得安息;不得安息,就會隨之往來;隨之往來,就會有未來的生死;有未來的生死,就會有未來的出沒;有未來的出沒,就會有生、老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱。這樣就形成了純粹的苦聚集。』就像大師所說的:『沒有依賴,就不會動搖;不搖動,就能不趨向;不趨向,就能止息;止息,就不會隨之往來;不隨之往來,就不會有未來的出沒;沒有未來的出沒,就不會有生、老、病、死、憂、悲、惱、苦。這樣就形成了純粹的大苦聚滅。』 闡陀說:『尊者摩訶拘絺羅!供養世尊的事情,到今天已經結束了!順從善逝的教誨,到今天也已經結束了!我所做的一切,都是適意的,沒有不適意的。弟子所應該做的,到今天已經做完了。如果還有其他弟子需要供養老師,也應當像我這樣供養大師,適意的,沒有不適意的。然而我今天身體病痛難忍,只想用刀自殺,不願再承受痛苦。』

Again he asked: 'Chanda, what have you seen, what have you known with regard to the ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, consciousness, and the Dharma, that you see mind, consciousness, and the Dharma as not-self, not different from self, and not existing in relation to self?' Chanda replied: 'Venerable Sariputra, I see the cessation, I know the cessation with regard to mind, consciousness, and the Dharma, therefore I see mind, consciousness, and the Dharma as not-self, not different from self, and not existing in relation to self. Venerable Sariputra, but today my body is suffering from pain, which I cannot endure, and I wish to kill myself with a knife, not desiring to live in suffering.' Then, Venerable Maha Kotthita said to Venerable Chanda: 'Now you should practice mindfulness according to the teachings of the Master, as it is said: 『That which has a basis is subject to agitation; that which is agitated has a direction; that which has a direction does not rest; that which does not rest goes to and fro; that which goes to and fro has future birth and death; having future birth and death, there is future arising and ceasing; having future arising and ceasing, there is birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, suffering, and distress. Thus, a whole mass of suffering arises.』 As it is said: 『That which has no basis is not agitated; that which is not agitated has no direction; that which has no direction has cessation; having cessation, it does not go to and fro; not going to and fro, there is no future arising and ceasing; having no future arising and ceasing, there is no birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, suffering, and distress. Thus, a whole mass of suffering ceases.』' Chanda said: 'Venerable Maha Kotthita, the service to the World Honored One is now completed! Following the Well-Gone One is now completed! It is fitting, not unfitting. What a disciple should do, I have done today. If there are other disciples who should serve the teacher, they should also serve the Master as I have, fitting, not unfitting. However, today my body is suffering from pain, which is difficult to endure, and I only wish to kill myself with a knife, not desiring to live in suffering.'


。」爾時,尊者闡陀即于那羅聚落好衣庵羅林中以刀自殺。

時,尊者舍利弗供養尊者闡陀舍利已,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面,白佛言:「世尊!尊者闡陀于那羅聚落好衣庵羅林中以刀自殺。云何?世尊!彼尊者闡陀當至何趣?云何受生?後世云何?」

佛告尊者舍利弗:「彼不自記說言:『尊者摩訶拘絺羅!我供養世尊,於今已畢;隨順善逝,於今已畢,適意,非不適意。若復有餘供養大師者,當如是作,適意,非不適意。』耶?」

爾時,尊者舍利弗復問:「世尊!彼尊者闡陀先於鎮珍尼婆羅門聚落,有供養家、極親厚家、善言語家。」

佛告舍利弗:「如是,舍利弗!正智、正善解脫善男子,有供養家、親厚家、善言語家。舍利弗!我不說彼有大過。若有舍此身,余身相續者,我說彼等則有大過;若有舍此身已,余身不相續者,我不說彼有大過也。無大過故,于那羅聚落好衣庵羅林中以刀自殺。」

如是,世尊為彼尊者闡陀說第一記。

佛說此經已,尊者舍利弗歡喜作禮而去

現代漢語譯本:當時,尊者闡陀在那羅聚落的好衣庵羅林中用刀自殺。 尊者舍利弗供養完尊者闡陀的舍利后,前往佛陀處,頂禮佛足,退到一旁,對佛陀說:『世尊!尊者闡陀在那羅聚落的好衣庵羅林中用刀自殺。世尊,他會去哪裡?會如何轉生?來世會怎樣?』 佛陀告訴尊者舍利弗:『他不是自己說過:『尊者摩訶拘絺羅!我供養世尊,現在已經完成了;隨順善逝,現在已經完成了,感到滿意,沒有不滿意。如果還有其他供養大師的人,應當像我這樣去做,感到滿意,沒有不滿意。』嗎?』 當時,尊者舍利弗又問:『世尊!尊者闡陀先前在鎮珍尼婆羅門聚落,有供養他的家庭、非常親厚的家庭、以及善於言語的家庭。』 佛陀告訴舍利弗:『是的,舍利弗!具有正智、真正善於解脫的善男子,會有供養他的家庭、親厚的家庭、以及善於言語的家庭。舍利弗!我不說他有大過錯。如果有人捨棄這個身體,還有其他身體相續,我說他們有大過錯;如果有人捨棄這個身體后,沒有其他身體相續,我不說他有大過錯。因為沒有大過錯,所以他在那羅聚落的好衣庵羅林中用刀自殺。』 就這樣,世尊為尊者闡陀說了第一個記別。 佛陀說完這部經后,尊者舍利弗歡喜地行禮后離開了。

English version: At that time, the venerable Chanda committed suicide with a knife in the Good Cloth Mango Grove in the village of Narā. After venerating the relics of the venerable Chanda, the venerable Śāriputra went to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and stood to one side. He said to the Buddha, 『Venerable Sir, the venerable Chanda committed suicide with a knife in the Good Cloth Mango Grove in the village of Narā. Where will he go, venerable Sir? How will he be reborn? What will his future be like?』 The Buddha said to the venerable Śāriputra, 『Did he not say himself, 『Venerable Mahākoṣṭhila! I have completed my offerings to the World Honored One; I have completed my following of the Well-Gone One, I am satisfied, not dissatisfied. If there are others who offer to the master, they should do as I have done, be satisfied, not dissatisfied.』?』 At that time, the venerable Śāriputra asked again, 『Venerable Sir! The venerable Chanda previously had families who supported him, very close families, and families who were good at speaking in the village of Zhenzheni Brahmin.』 The Buddha said to Śāriputra, 『Yes, Śāriputra! A good man with right wisdom and true good liberation will have families who support him, close families, and families who are good at speaking. Śāriputra! I do not say that he has a great fault. If someone abandons this body and another body continues, I say that they have a great fault; if someone abandons this body and no other body continues, I do not say that they have a great fault. Because there is no great fault, he committed suicide with a knife in the Good Cloth Mango Grove in the village of Narā.』 Thus, the World Honored One gave the first prediction for the venerable Chanda. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the venerable Śāriputra joyfully bowed and departed.

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有一天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子白佛言:「世尊!比丘!比丘度駛流耶?」

佛言:「如是,天子!」

天子復問:「無所攀緣,亦無所住,度駛流耶?」

佛言:「如是,天子!」

天子復問:「無所攀緣,亦無所住而度駛流,其義云何?」

佛言:「天子!我如是如是抱,如是如是直進,則不為水之所㵱。如是如是不抱。如是如是不直進,則為水所㵱。如是,天子!名為無所攀緣,亦無所住而度駛流。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一天子,容貌極其美好,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退坐在一旁。他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,那位天子問佛陀說:『世尊!比丘!比丘能渡過急流嗎?』

佛陀說:『是的,天子!』

天子又問:『不攀緣任何事物,也沒有任何停留,就能渡過急流嗎?』

佛陀說:『是的,天子!』

天子又問:『不攀緣任何事物,也沒有任何停留而能渡過急流,這是什麼意思呢?』

佛陀說:『天子!我這樣這樣抱持,這樣這樣直進,就不會被水沖走。這樣這樣不抱持,這樣這樣不直進,就會被水沖走。天子!這就叫做不攀緣任何事物,也沒有任何停留而能渡過急流。』

當時,那位天子又說偈頌:

『久見婆羅門, 已得般涅槃, 一切怖畏已過, 永遠超越世間恩愛。』

當時,那位天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,向佛陀的腳稽首,隨即消失不見。

The Forty-Eighth Scroll of the Saṃyuktāgama Sūtra

Translated by Guṇabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

(1267)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park in Śrāvastī.

Then, a certain deva, of exceedingly beautiful appearance, came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.

Then, that deva said to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One! Does a bhikkhu, does a bhikkhu cross the swift current?'

The Buddha said, 'Yes, deva!'

The deva asked again, 'Without clinging to anything, nor dwelling anywhere, does one cross the swift current?'

The Buddha said, 'Yes, deva!'

The deva asked again, 'Without clinging to anything, nor dwelling anywhere, how does one cross the swift current? What does that mean?'

The Buddha said, 'Deva! If I hold on in this way, and advance directly in this way, then I will not be swept away by the water. If I do not hold on in this way, and do not advance directly in this way, then I will be swept away by the water. Thus, deva! This is called crossing the swift current without clinging to anything, nor dwelling anywhere.'

Then, that deva spoke a verse:

'Long have I seen the Brahmin, who has attained Parinirvana, All fear has been overcome, forever transcending worldly love.'

Then, that deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared.

(1268)

。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子白佛言:「比丘知一切眾生所著、所集,決定解脫、廣解脫、極廣解脫耶?」

佛告天子:「我悉知一切眾生所著、所集,決定解脫、廣解脫、極廣解脫。」天子白佛:「比丘云何知一切眾生所著、所集,決定解脫、廣解脫、極廣解脫?」

佛告天子:「愛喜滅盡,我心解脫;心解脫已,故知一切眾生所著、所集,決定解脫、廣解脫、極廣解脫。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有一天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「誰度于諸流?  晝夜勤精進,  不攀亦不住,  何染而不著?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「一切戒具足,  智慧善正受,  內思惟繫念,  度難度諸流。  不樂於欲想,  超越於色結,  不繫亦不住,  于染亦不著

現代漢語譯本:他的身軀光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子對佛說:『比丘知道一切眾生所執著、所聚集的,能決定解脫、廣解脫、極廣解脫嗎?』 佛告訴天子:『我完全知道一切眾生所執著、所聚集的,能決定解脫、廣解脫、極廣解脫。』天子問佛:『比丘如何知道一切眾生所執著、所聚集的,能決定解脫、廣解脫、極廣解脫呢?』 佛告訴天子:『愛慾和喜悅滅盡,我的心就解脫了;心解脫之後,因此知道一切眾生所執著、所聚集的,能決定解脫、廣解脫、極廣解脫。』 當時,那位天子又說了偈語: 『我久已見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。 (一二六九) 我(阿難)是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子,容貌極其美好,在後半夜來到佛的住所,頂禮佛足,他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子說了偈語問佛: 『誰能度過諸多的河流?晝夜勤奮精進,不攀緣也不執著,什麼污染都不能沾染?』 這時,世尊說了偈語回答: 『一切戒律都圓滿具足,智慧善於正確領受,內心思維繫念,就能度過難以度過的河流。 不貪戀慾望,超越對色界的執著,不被束縛也不執著,對於污染也不沾染。』

English version: His body's light illuminated the Jeta Grove and Anathapindika's Park. Then, that celestial being said to the Buddha, 'Does a monk know what all beings are attached to and gather, and whether they can attain definite liberation, broad liberation, and the utmost broad liberation?' The Buddha told the celestial being, 'I fully know what all beings are attached to and gather, and whether they can attain definite liberation, broad liberation, and the utmost broad liberation.' The celestial being asked the Buddha, 'How does a monk know what all beings are attached to and gather, and whether they can attain definite liberation, broad liberation, and the utmost broad liberation?' The Buddha told the celestial being, 'When craving and joy are extinguished, my mind is liberated; having liberated my mind, I therefore know what all beings are attached to and gather, and whether they can attain definite liberation, broad liberation, and the utmost broad liberation.' Then, that celestial being spoke a verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, all fears have passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love.' Then, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1269) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove and Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, a celestial being, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the Jeta Grove and Anathapindika's Park. Then, that celestial being spoke a verse asking the Buddha: 'Who crosses over the many streams? Diligently striving day and night, not clinging nor dwelling, what defilement does not attach to him?' At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse in reply: 'Having perfected all precepts, with wisdom well received, with inner contemplation and mindfulness, one crosses over the difficult-to-cross streams. Not delighting in desires, transcending the fetters of form, not bound nor dwelling, one is also not attached to defilement.'

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城山谷精舍。

時,有拘迦尼,是光明天女,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,身諸光明遍照山谷。

時,拘迦尼天女而說偈言:

「其心不為惡,  及身口世間,  五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念。  不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。」

佛告天女:「如是,如是。

「其心不為惡,  及身口世間,  五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念。  不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。」

時,拘迦那娑天女聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

爾時,世尊夜過晨朝,入于僧中,敷尼師壇,于大眾前坐,告諸比丘:「昨日夜后,有拘迦那天女,容色絕妙,來詣我所,稽首我足,退坐一面而說偈言:

「其心不為惡,  及身口世間,  五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念,  不習近眾苦,  非義和合者

(一二七〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在王舍城山谷精舍。

當時,有一位名叫拘迦尼的光明天女,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀處,頂禮佛足,她身上的光明遍照山谷。

當時,拘迦尼天女說了偈語: 『內心不作惡,身口也不作惡,世間的五欲都是虛空的,要以正智正念來對待。不應習近眾苦,以及那些不符合正義的結合。』

佛陀告訴天女:『是這樣的,是這樣的。』

『內心不作惡,身口也不作惡,世間的五欲都是虛空的,要以正智正念來對待。不應習近眾苦,以及那些不符合正義的結合。』

當時,拘迦那娑天女聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。

那時,世尊夜晚過去,早晨來到僧眾中,鋪好尼師壇,在大眾前坐下,告訴眾比丘:『昨天后半夜,有一位名叫拘迦尼的天女,容貌絕美,來到我這裡,頂禮我的雙足,退坐在一旁,說了偈語:』

『內心不作惡,身口也不作惡,世間的五欲都是虛空的,要以正智正念來對待。不應習近眾苦,以及那些不符合正義的結合。』

English version Then, that celestial being spoke in verse again: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, all fear has passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love and affection.' Then, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared.

(1270)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Mountain Valley Monastery in Rajagriha.

At that time, there was a celestial maiden named Kokanika, a goddess of radiant light, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful. In the latter part of the night, she came to the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and the light from her body illuminated the entire valley.

Then, the celestial maiden Kokanika spoke in verse: 'The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in this world. The five desires are all empty, one should maintain right wisdom and right mindfulness. One should not associate with suffering, nor with those who are not in accordance with righteousness.'

The Buddha said to the celestial maiden, 'So it is, so it is.'

'The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in this world. The five desires are all empty, one should maintain right wisdom and right mindfulness. One should not associate with suffering, nor with those who are not in accordance with righteousness.'

Then, the celestial maiden Kokanasā, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared.

Then, the World Honored One, having passed the night and come to the morning, entered the assembly of monks, spread out his sitting cloth, and sat before the assembly. He said to the monks, 'In the latter part of the night yesterday, there was a celestial maiden named Kokanika, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful, who came to me, bowed at my feet, sat to one side, and spoke in verse:'

'The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in this world. The five desires are all empty, one should maintain right wisdom and right mindfulness. One should not associate with suffering, nor with those who are not in accordance with righteousness.'


。」

我即答言:「如是,天女!如是,天女!

「其心不為惡,  及身口世間,  五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念。  不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。

「說是語時,拘迦尼天女聞我所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首我足,即沒不現。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二七一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城山谷精舍。

爾時,尊者阿難告諸比丘:「我今當說四句法經。諦聽,善思,當爲汝說何等為四句法經。」

爾時,尊者阿難即說偈言:

「其心不為惡,  及身口世間,  五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念。  不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。

「諸比丘!是名四句法經。」

爾時,有一異婆羅門,去尊者阿難不遠,為諸年少婆羅門受誦經。時,彼婆羅門作是念:「若沙門阿難所說偈,於我所說經,便是非人所說。」

時,彼婆羅門即往詣佛所,與世尊面相問訊慰勞已,退坐一面,白佛言:「瞿曇!沙門阿難所說偈言:

「其心不為惡,  及身口世間,  五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念。  不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。

「如是等所說,則是非人語,非為人語

現代漢語譯本 我立即回答說:『是的,天女!是的,天女!』 『內心不作惡,以及身口所為,五欲皆是虛空,以正智正念對待。不親近眾苦,不與非義理的事物結合。』 『當我說這些話時,拘迦尼天女聽到我所說,歡喜讚歎,向我頂禮,隨即消失不見。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (一二七一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城山谷精舍。 當時,尊者阿難告訴眾比丘:『我現在要說四句法經。仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們解說什麼是四句法經。』 當時,尊者阿難即說偈語: 『內心不作惡,以及身口所為,五欲皆是虛空,以正智正念對待。不親近眾苦,不與非義理的事物結合。』 『諸位比丘!這就是所謂的四句法經。』 當時,有一位異教婆羅門,離尊者阿難不遠,正在為年輕的婆羅門誦經。那時,那位婆羅門心想:『如果沙門阿難所說的偈語,與我所誦的經文相同,那一定是鬼神所說,而非人所說。』 當時,那位婆羅門就前往佛陀所在之處,與世尊互相問候慰勞后,退坐在一旁,對佛陀說:『瞿曇!沙門阿難所說的偈語:』 『內心不作惡,以及身口所為,五欲皆是虛空,以正智正念對待。不親近眾苦,不與非義理的事物結合。』 『像這樣所說的,是鬼神所說,不是人所說。』

English version I immediately replied: 'Yes, heavenly maiden! Yes, heavenly maiden!' 'The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in the world, the five desires are all empty, treat them with right wisdom and right mindfulness. Do not approach suffering, do not unite with things that are not righteous.' 'When I spoke these words, the heavenly maiden Kukani, hearing what I said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at my feet, and then disappeared.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, hearing what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (1271) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the Mountain Valley Monastery in Rajagriha. At that time, the Venerable Ananda told the monks: 'I will now speak the Four-Line Dharma Sutra. Listen carefully, think well, and I will explain to you what the Four-Line Dharma Sutra is.' At that time, the Venerable Ananda spoke the verse: 'The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in the world, the five desires are all empty, treat them with right wisdom and right mindfulness. Do not approach suffering, do not unite with things that are not righteous.' 'Monks! This is called the Four-Line Dharma Sutra.' At that time, there was a non-Buddhist Brahmin, not far from the Venerable Ananda, who was reciting scriptures for young Brahmins. At that time, that Brahmin thought: 'If the verse spoken by the Shramana Ananda is the same as the scriptures I recite, then it must be spoken by a ghost, not by a human.' At that time, that Brahmin went to where the Buddha was, greeted and comforted the World Honored One, then sat down to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'Gautama! The verse spoken by the Shramana Ananda:' 'The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in the world, the five desires are all empty, treat them with right wisdom and right mindfulness. Do not approach suffering, do not unite with things that are not righteous.' 'What is said like this is spoken by a ghost, not by a human.'


。」

佛告婆羅門:「如是,如是,婆羅門!是非人語,非為人語也。時,有拘迦尼天女來詣我所,稽首我足,退坐一面而說偈言:

「其心不為惡,  及身口世間,  五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念。  不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。」

「我時答言:『如是,如是,如天女所言:

「『「其心不為惡,  及身口世間,    五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念。    不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。」』

「是故,婆羅門!當知此所說偈,是非人所說,非是人所說也。」

佛說此經已,彼婆羅門聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,禮佛足而去。

(一二七二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城山谷精舍。

時,有拘迦那娑天女,是光明天女,起大電光熾然,歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明普照山谷,即于佛前而說偈言

「其心不為惡,  及身口世間,  五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念。  不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。」

爾時,世尊告天女言:「如是,如是,天女!如汝所說:

「『其心不為惡,  及身口世間,   五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念。   不習近眾苦,  非義和合者

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴婆羅門:『是的,是的,婆羅門!這不是人說的話,也不是人說的話。當時,有一位名叫拘迦尼的天女來到我這裡,她向我頂禮,然後退到一旁坐下,並說了這樣一首偈: 『內心不作惡,以及身口在世間,五欲皆是虛空,以正智保持正念。不習慣接近眾苦,不與非正義的事物結合。』 我當時回答說:『是的,是的,正如天女所說:』 『內心不作惡,以及身口在世間,五欲皆是虛空,以正智保持正念。不習慣接近眾苦,不與非正義的事物結合。』 『所以,婆羅門!你應該知道這首偈,不是人說的,也不是人說的。』 佛陀說完這部經后,那位婆羅門聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀頂禮后就離開了。 (一二七二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城山谷的精舍。 當時,有一位名叫拘迦那娑的天女,她是光明天女,她發出巨大的電光,熾熱地歸依佛、歸依法、歸依比丘僧,來到佛陀那裡,向佛陀頂禮,然後退到一旁坐下。她的身體發出的光芒普照山谷,她就在佛陀面前說了這樣一首偈: 『內心不作惡,以及身口在世間,五欲皆是虛空,以正智保持正念。不習慣接近眾苦,不與非正義的事物結合。』 那時,世尊告訴天女說:『是的,是的,天女!正如你所說:』 『內心不作惡,以及身口在世間,五欲皆是虛空,以正智保持正念。不習慣接近眾苦,不與非正義的事物結合。』

English version The Buddha told the Brahmin: 'Yes, yes, Brahmin! This is not the speech of a human, nor is it the speech of a human. At that time, a celestial maiden named Kukani came to me, bowed at my feet, retreated to one side and sat down, and spoke this verse: 'The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in the world, the five desires are all empty, with right wisdom maintain right mindfulness. Do not get used to approaching suffering, do not unite with things that are not righteous.' I then replied: 'Yes, yes, as the celestial maiden said:' 'The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in the world, the five desires are all empty, with right wisdom maintain right mindfulness. Do not get used to approaching suffering, do not unite with things that are not righteous.' 'Therefore, Brahmin! You should know that this verse was not spoken by a human, nor was it spoken by a human.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, that Brahmin, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed to the Buddha's feet, and then left. (1272) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the mountain valley hermitage in Rajagriha. At that time, a celestial maiden named Kukanasa, who was a celestial maiden of light, emitted great electric light, fervently took refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, came to the Buddha, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then retreated to one side and sat down. The light from her body illuminated the valley, and she spoke this verse in front of the Buddha: 'The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in the world, the five desires are all empty, with right wisdom maintain right mindfulness. Do not get used to approaching suffering, do not unite with things that are not righteous.' At that time, the World Honored One told the celestial maiden: 'Yes, yes, celestial maiden! As you said:' 'The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in the world, the five desires are all empty, with right wisdom maintain right mindfulness. Do not get used to approaching suffering, do not unite with things that are not righteous.'


。』」

爾時,拘迦那娑天女聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

爾時,世尊夜過晨朝入僧中,敷尼師壇,于大眾前坐,告諸比丘:「于昨后夜,拘迦那娑天女,光明之天女,來詣我所,稽首我足,退坐一面。而說偈言:

「『其心不為惡,  及身口世間,   五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念。   不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。』

「我時答言:『如是,天女!如是,天女!如汝所說:

「『「其心不為惡,  及身口世間,    五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念。    不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。」』

「拘迦那天女,  電光炎熾然,  敬禮佛法僧,  說偈義饒益。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二七三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城山谷精舍。

時,有拘迦那娑天女,光明之天女,放電光明,炎照熾然,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明普照山谷,即于佛前而說偈言:

「我能廣分別,  如來正法律,  今且但略說,  足以表其心。  其心不為惡,  及身口世間,  五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念。  不習近眾苦,  非義和合者

現代漢語譯本 當時,拘迦那娑天女聽到佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳稽首,隨即消失不見。 當時,世尊在夜晚過去,早晨進入僧團,鋪好坐具,在大眾面前坐下,告訴眾比丘:『在昨晚後半夜,拘迦那娑天女,一位光明天女,來到我這裡,向我的腳稽首,退坐在一旁。她說了這樣的偈語: 『內心不作惡,以及身口所為,五欲皆是虛空,以正智正念對待。不親近眾苦,不與非正義的事物結合。』 我當時回答說:『是的,天女!是的,天女!正如你所說: 『「內心不作惡,以及身口所為,五欲皆是虛空,以正智正念對待。不親近眾苦,不與非正義的事物結合。」』 『拘迦那天女,如電光般熾熱閃耀,敬禮佛法僧,所說偈語意義深遠。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。 (一二七三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城山谷的精舍。 當時,有一位拘迦那娑天女,光明天女,放出如閃電般的光芒,熾熱照耀,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,向佛陀的腳稽首,退坐在一旁。她的身體光芒普照山谷,隨即在佛陀面前說了這樣的偈語: 『我能廣泛地分別,如來正法和戒律,現在只是簡略地說,足以表達我的心意。內心不作惡,以及身口所為,五欲皆是虛空,以正智正念對待。不親近眾苦,不與非正義的事物結合。

English version At that time, the goddess Kukkanasa, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed her head to the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. At that time, the World Honored One, after the night had passed and morning had arrived, entered the Sangha, spread out his seat, and sat before the assembly, telling the monks: 'In the last watch of the night, the goddess Kukkanasa, a goddess of light, came to me, bowed her head to my feet, and sat down to one side. And she spoke these verses: 'The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in the world, the five desires are all empty, with right wisdom and right mindfulness. Do not associate with many sufferings, nor with those who are not righteous.' I then replied: 'So it is, goddess! So it is, goddess! As you have said: '「The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in the world, the five desires are all empty, with right wisdom and right mindfulness. Do not associate with many sufferings, nor with those who are not righteous.」' 'The goddess Kukkanasa, like a blazing flash of lightning, reverently salutes the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and the meaning of her verses is profound.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly. (1273) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the mountain valley hermitage in Rajagriha. At that time, there was a goddess Kukkanasa, a goddess of light, emitting light like lightning, blazing and radiant, who came to the Buddha in the last watch of the night, bowed her head to the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. Her body's light illuminated the valley, and then she spoke these verses before the Buddha: 'I can extensively distinguish the Tathagata's true Dharma and precepts, but now I will speak briefly, enough to express my mind. The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in the world, the five desires are all empty, with right wisdom and right mindfulness. Do not associate with many sufferings, nor with those who are not righteous.'


。」

佛告天女:「如是,天女!如是,天女!如汝所說:

「『其心不為惡,  及身口世間,   五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念。   不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。』」

時,拘迦那娑天女聞佛所說,歡喜稽首,即沒不現。

爾時,世尊夜過晨朝,入于僧前,于大眾中敷座而坐,告諸比丘:「昨后夜時,拘迦那娑天女來詣我所,恭敬作禮,退坐一面而說偈言:

「我能廣分別,  如來正法律,  今且但略說,  足以表我心。  其心不為惡,  及身口世間,  五欲悉虛空,  正智正繫念。  不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。」

「我時答言:『如是,天女!如汝所說:

「時,彼天女聞我所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首我足,即沒不現。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二七四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住毗舍離獼猴池側重閣講堂。

時,有拘迦那娑天女、朱盧陀天女,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照一切獼猴池側

現代漢語譯本 佛陀告訴天女:『是的,天女!是的,天女!正如你所說:』 『內心不作惡,以及身口所為,五欲皆是虛空,以正智正念對待。不親近眾苦,不與非正義的事物結合。』 當時,拘迦那娑天女聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地頂禮,隨即消失不見。 那時,世尊夜間過去,早晨來到僧眾面前,在大眾中鋪設座位坐下,告訴眾比丘:『昨晚後半夜,拘迦那娑天女來到我這裡,恭敬地行禮,退坐在一旁,說了偈語:』 『我能廣泛地分別如來正法,現在只是略說,足以表達我的心意。內心不作惡,以及身口所為,五欲皆是虛空,以正智正念對待。不親近眾苦,不與非正義的事物結合。』 『我當時回答說:『是的,天女!正如你所說:』 『「內心不作惡,以及身口所為,五欲皆是虛偽,以正智正念對待。不親近眾苦,不與非正義的事物結合。」』 『當時,那位天女聽聞我所說,歡喜隨喜,頂禮我的雙足,隨即消失不見。』 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一二七四) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在毗舍離獼猴池邊的重閣講堂。 當時,有拘迦那娑天女、朱盧陀天女,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀處,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。她們的身光遍照整個獼猴池邊。

English version The Buddha said to the heavenly maiden: 'So it is, heavenly maiden! So it is, heavenly maiden! As you have said:' 'The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in the world, the five desires are all empty, with right wisdom and right mindfulness. Do not approach suffering, nor unite with what is unrighteous.' Then, the heavenly maiden Kokanasa, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced, bowed her head, and immediately disappeared. At that time, the World Honored One, having passed the night, in the morning came before the Sangha, sat down on a seat in the midst of the assembly, and said to the monks: 'In the last watch of the night, the heavenly maiden Kokanasa came to me, respectfully bowed, sat down to one side, and spoke these verses:' 'I can widely distinguish the Tathagata's true Dharma, but now I will speak briefly, enough to express my mind. The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in the world, the five desires are all empty, with right wisdom and right mindfulness. Do not approach suffering, nor unite with what is unrighteous.' 'I then replied: 'So it is, heavenly maiden! As you have said:' '「The mind does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in the world, the five desires are all false, with right wisdom and right mindfulness. Do not approach suffering, nor unite with what is unrighteous.」' 'Then, that heavenly maiden, having heard what I said, rejoiced and was delighted, bowed her head to my feet, and immediately disappeared.' After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1274) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at the multi-storied lecture hall by the Monkey Pond in Vaishali. At that time, there were the heavenly maidens Kokanasa and Juluda, of exquisite beauty, who came to the Buddha in the last watch of the night, bowed their heads to the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from their bodies illuminated the entire area around the Monkey Pond.


時,朱盧陀天女說偈白佛:

「大師等正覺,  住毗舍離國,  拘迦那朱盧,  稽首恭敬禮。  我昔未曾聞,  牟尼正法律,  今乃得親見,  現前說正法。  若於聖法律,  惡慧生厭惡,  必當墮惡道,  長夜受諸苦。  若於聖法律,  正念律儀備,  彼則生天上,  長夜受安樂。」

拘迦娑天女復說偈言:

「其心不為惡,  及身口世間,  五欲悉虛偽,  正智正繫念。  不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。」

佛告天女:「如是,如是,如汝所說:

「『其心不為惡,  及身口世間,   五欲悉虛偽,  正智正繫念。   不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。』」

時,彼天女聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,即沒不現。

爾時,世尊夜過晨朝入僧中,敷座而坐,告諸比丘:「昨后夜時,有二天女,容色絕妙,來詣我所,為我作禮,退坐一面。朱盧陀天女而說偈言:

「『大師等正覺,  住毗舍離國,   我拘迦那娑,  及以朱盧陀。   如是二天女,  稽首禮佛足,   我昔未曾聞,  牟尼正法律。   今乃見正覺,  演說微妙法,   若於正法律,  厭惡住惡慧

現代漢語譯本: 當時,朱盧陀天女以偈頌的形式對佛說: 『大覺悟的導師啊,您住在毗舍離國,拘迦那朱盧,向您稽首恭敬地頂禮。 我過去從未聽聞過牟尼的正法,今天才得以親眼見到,您在面前宣說正法。 如果對於聖潔的佛法,以邪惡的智慧產生厭惡,必定會墮入惡道,長久地遭受各種痛苦。 如果對於聖潔的佛法,以正念和戒律來規範自己,他們就會升到天上,長久地享受安樂。』 拘迦娑天女又說偈頌道: 『內心不作惡,身體和口也不作惡,世間的五欲都是虛假的,要以正智和正念來約束自己。 不要習慣於接近眾多的痛苦,以及那些不符合正義的結合。』 佛告訴天女:『是這樣的,是這樣的,正如你所說: 『內心不作惡,身體和口也不作惡,世間的五欲都是虛假的,要以正智和正念來約束自己。 不要習慣於接近眾多的痛苦,以及那些不符合正義的結合。』 當時,那位天女聽了佛所說的話,歡喜隨喜,隨即消失不見。 那時,世尊在夜晚過去,早晨進入僧團中,鋪好座位坐下,告訴眾比丘:『昨天后半夜,有兩位天女,容貌絕美,來到我這裡,向我行禮,退坐在一旁。 朱盧陀天女說了偈頌: 『大覺悟的導師啊,您住在毗舍離國,我拘迦那娑,以及朱盧陀。 我們這兩位天女,稽首頂禮佛的足下,我過去從未聽聞過牟尼的正法。 今天才見到正覺,演說微妙的佛法,如果對於正法,厭惡並持有邪惡的智慧,』

English version: At that time, the goddess Julutuo spoke to the Buddha in verse: 'O Great Teacher of Perfect Enlightenment, residing in the country of Vaishali, Kukana Julu, bows her head in reverence and pays homage. I have never before heard the Muni's true Dharma, but today I have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes, as you preach the true Dharma before me. If one develops aversion with evil wisdom towards the sacred Dharma, they will surely fall into evil paths, enduring various sufferings for a long time. If one is equipped with right mindfulness and discipline towards the sacred Dharma, they will be born in heaven, enjoying peace and happiness for a long time.' The goddess Kukasa then spoke in verse: 'The heart does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in this world, the five desires are all false, one should restrain oneself with right wisdom and right mindfulness. Do not get used to approaching the many sufferings, and those combinations that do not conform to righteousness.' The Buddha told the goddess: 'It is so, it is so, just as you have said: 'The heart does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in this world, the five desires are all false, one should restrain oneself with right wisdom and right mindfulness. Do not get used to approaching the many sufferings, and those combinations that do not conform to righteousness.' At that time, the goddess, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted, and then disappeared. Then, the World Honored One, after the night had passed, entered the Sangha in the morning, spread out his seat and sat down, and told the monks: 'Yesterday in the latter part of the night, there were two goddesses, with exquisite beauty, who came to me, paid their respects to me, and sat down to one side. The goddess Julutuo spoke in verse: 'O Great Teacher of Perfect Enlightenment, residing in the country of Vaishali, I, Kukana Sa, and Julutuo. These two goddesses, bow our heads and pay homage at the Buddha's feet, I have never before heard the Muni's true Dharma. Today I have seen the Perfect Enlightenment, expounding the subtle Dharma, if one has aversion and holds evil wisdom towards the true Dharma,'


。   必墮于惡道,  長夜受大苦,   若於正法律,  正念律儀備。   生善趣天上,  長夜受安樂。』

「拘迦那天女復說偈言:

「『其心不為惡,  及身口世間,   五欲悉虛偽,  正智正繫念。   不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。』

「我時答言:『如是,如是,如汝所說:

「『「其心不為惡,  及身口世間,    五欲悉虛偽,  正智正繫念。    不習近眾苦,  非義和合者。」』」

(一二七五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子而說偈言:

「無觸不報觸,  觸則以觸報,  以觸報觸故,  不瞋不招瞋。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「有于不瞋人,  而加之以瞋,  清凈之正士,  離諸煩惱結。  于彼起噁心,  噁心還自中,  如逆風揚塵,  還自坌其身。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛

『必定墮入惡道,長久在黑夜中遭受巨大痛苦,如果能遵循正確的法律,正念和戒律完備,就能升入善趣的天堂,長久在黑夜中享受安樂。』 『拘迦那天女又說偈語道:』 『「內心不作惡,身體和口也不作惡,世間的五種慾望都是虛假的,要用正智和正念來約束自己,不接近眾多的痛苦,不與不義的事物結合。」』 『我當時回答說:『是這樣,是這樣,正如你所說:』 『「內心不作惡,身體和口也不作惡,世間的五種慾望都是虛假的,要用正智和正念來約束自己,不接近眾多的痛苦,不與不義的事物結合。」』」 佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一二七五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子容貌極其美好,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁。他的身體發出的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子說了偈語: 『不以觸報復無觸,以觸報復觸,因為以觸報復觸,所以不嗔恨也不會招致嗔恨。』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『有人對不嗔恨的人,反而施加嗔恨,清凈的正士,已經脫離了各種煩惱的束縛。對他們生起噁心,噁心最終會回到自己身上,就像逆風揚起的塵土,最終會落在自己身上。』 當時,那位天子又說了偈語: 『很久以前就見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,一切恐懼都已經過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』

'Surely will fall into evil paths, enduring great suffering in the long night. If one follows the right law, with mindfulness and discipline complete, one will be born in the good realms of heaven, enjoying peace and happiness in the long night.' 'The goddess Kukka then spoke in verse:' '「The heart does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in this world. The five desires are all false, one should use right wisdom and right mindfulness to restrain oneself. Do not approach the many sufferings, nor unite with what is unrighteous.」' 'I then replied: 『It is so, it is so, as you have said:』 '「The heart does not do evil, nor do the body and mouth in this world. The five desires are all false, one should use right wisdom and right mindfulness to restrain oneself. Do not approach the many sufferings, nor unite with what is unrighteous.」』' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1275) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, a deva of exceedingly beautiful appearance came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that deva spoke in verse: 'Not to retaliate touch with no touch, but to retaliate touch with touch. Because of retaliating touch with touch, one neither hates nor invites hatred.' Then, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'If one adds hatred to one who does not hate, the pure and righteous one has already broken free from all the bonds of affliction. The evil intention that arises towards them will return to oneself, like dust thrown against the wind, it will fall back on oneself.' Then, that deva spoke in verse again: 'Long ago I saw the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, all fear has passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love and affection.'

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一二七六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有一天子,容色絕妙,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子而說偈言:

「愚癡人所行,  不合于黠慧,  自所行惡行,  為自惡知識。  所造眾惡行,  終獲苦果報。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「既作不善業,  終則受諸惱,  造業雖歡喜,  啼泣受其報。  造諸善業者,  終則不熱惱,  歡喜而造業,  安樂受其報。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

「不可常言說,  亦不一向聽,  而得於道跡,  堅固正超度。  思惟善寂滅,  解脫諸魔縛,  能行說之可,  不行不應說

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳稽首,隨即消失不見。

(一二七六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位天子,容貌絕美,來到佛陀所在之處,向佛陀的腳稽首,他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,那位天子說了偈語:

『愚癡之人所行,不符合智慧,自己所做的惡行,是自己邪惡的知識。所造的各種惡行,最終會獲得痛苦的果報。』

那時,世尊用偈語回答說:

『既然做了不善的業,最終會遭受各種煩惱,造業時雖然歡喜,最終會哭泣著承受其報應。造作各種善業的人,最終不會感到熱惱,歡喜地造業,安樂地承受其報應。』

當時,那位天子又說了偈語:

『很久以前就見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』

當時,那位天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳稽首,隨即消失不見。

(一二七七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,向佛陀的腳稽首,他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,那位天子說了偈語:

『不可以總是說,也不可以一味地聽,這樣才能得到道的軌跡,堅定地超越生死。思維寂靜的涅槃,解脫各種魔的束縛,能夠做到的才可以說,做不到的不應該說。』

English version Then, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then vanished.

(1276)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

Then, a celestial being, of exquisite beauty, came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.

Then, that celestial being spoke these verses:

'The actions of the foolish do not accord with wisdom; the evil deeds one does are one's own evil knowledge. The various evil deeds one commits will ultimately bring about a painful retribution.'

At that time, the World-Honored One replied with these verses:

'Having done unwholesome deeds, one will ultimately suffer various afflictions; though one rejoices in committing the deeds, one will weep while receiving their retribution. Those who commit wholesome deeds will ultimately not feel tormented; having joyfully committed the deeds, they will peacefully receive their retribution.'

Then, that celestial being spoke these verses again:

'Long ago, I saw the Brahmin, who had attained Nirvana; all fear has passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love and affection.'

Then, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then vanished.

(1277)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

Then, a celestial being, of exquisite beauty, came to where the Buddha was in the latter part of the night, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.

Then, that celestial being spoke these verses:

'One should not always speak, nor should one always listen; only then can one attain the path, firmly transcending birth and death. Contemplating the peaceful cessation of Nirvana, one is liberated from the bonds of all demons; one should only speak of what one can do, and not speak of what one cannot do.'


。  不行而說者,  智者則知非,  不行己所應,  不作而言作。  是則同賊非。」

爾時,世尊告天子言:「汝今有所嫌責耶?」

天子白佛:「悔過,世尊!悔過,善逝!」

爾時,世尊熙怡微笑。

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「我今悔其過,  世尊不納受,  內懷于噁心,  抱怨而不捨。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「言說悔過辭,  內不息其心,  云何得息怨?  何名為修善?」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「誰不有其過?  何人無有罪?  誰復無愚癡?  孰能常堅固?」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一二七八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有瞿迦梨比丘,是提婆達多伴黨,來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。

爾時,世尊告瞿迦梨比丘:「瞿迦梨!汝何故於舍利弗、目揵連清凈梵行所,起不清凈心?長夜當得不饒益苦。」

瞿迦梨比丘白佛言:「世尊!我今信世尊語,所說無異,但舍利弗、大目揵連心有惡欲

現代漢語譯本 那些自己不做卻空談的人,有智慧的人會知道他們是錯的。 自己不去做應該做的事,卻說自己做了。 這和強盜沒什麼兩樣。 這時,世尊告訴天子說:『你現在有什麼要責備的嗎?』 天子對佛說:『我懺悔,世尊!我懺悔,善逝!』 這時,世尊高興地笑了。 當時,那位天子又說了偈語: 『我現在懺悔我的過錯,世尊卻不接受,內心懷著惡念,抱怨而不肯放下。』 這時,世尊說了偈語回答: 『口頭上說懺悔,內心卻不停止惡念,怎麼能平息怨恨?又怎麼能稱為修行善事呢?』 當時,那位天子又說了偈語: 『誰沒有過錯呢?誰沒有罪過呢?誰沒有愚癡呢?誰又能永遠堅強呢?』 當時,那位天子又說了偈語: 『我長久以來見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,向佛頂禮,隨即消失不見。 (一二七八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位名叫瞿迦梨的比丘,是提婆達多的同黨,來到佛的住所,向佛頂禮,退坐在一旁。 這時,世尊告訴瞿迦梨比丘說:『瞿迦梨!你為什麼對舍利弗、目犍連清凈的梵行,生起不清凈的心呢?這樣長久以來會得到不利益的痛苦。』 瞿迦梨比丘對佛說:『世尊!我現在相信世尊的話,所說沒有不同,但是舍利弗、大目犍連內心有惡欲。』

English version Those who talk without acting, the wise will know they are wrong. Not doing what one should do, yet saying they have done it. This is no different from a thief. Then, the World Honored One said to the Deva: 'Do you have any reproaches now?' The Deva said to the Buddha: 'I repent, World Honored One! I repent, Well-Gone One!' At that time, the World Honored One smiled joyfully. Then, that Deva spoke a verse: 'Now I repent my faults, but the World Honored One does not accept it, harboring evil thoughts within, complaining and not letting go.' Then, the World Honored One spoke a verse in reply: 'Speaking words of repentance, but not ceasing evil thoughts within, how can resentment be quelled? How can it be called cultivating goodness?' Then, that Deva spoke another verse: 'Who does not have faults? Who does not have sins? Who does not have ignorance? Who can always be steadfast?' Then, that Deva spoke another verse: 'For a long time I have seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, all fears have passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' Then, that Deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed the joy, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared. (1278) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, there was a bhikkhu named Kokalika, who was a follower of Devadatta, who came to the Buddha's place, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. Then, the World Honored One said to the bhikkhu Kokalika: 'Kokalika! Why do you harbor impure thoughts towards the pure conduct of Shariputra and Maudgalyayana? For a long time, you will receive unprofitable suffering.' The bhikkhu Kokalika said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! Now I believe the World Honored One's words, what is said is not different, but Shariputra and Maudgalyayana have evil desires in their hearts.'


。」如是第二、第三說,瞿迦梨比丘——提婆達多伴黨於世尊所再三說中,違反不受,從座起去。去已,其身周遍生諸皰瘡,皆如栗,漸漸增長,皆如桃李。

時,瞿迦梨比丘患苦痛,口說是言:「極燒!極燒!」膿血流出,身壞命終,生大缽曇摩地獄。

時,有三天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。時,一天子白佛言:「瞿迦梨比丘——提婆達多伴黨今已命終。」時,第二天子作是言:「諸尊當知,瞿迦梨比丘命終墮地獄中。」第三天子即說偈言:

「士夫生世間,  斧在口中生,  還自斬其身,  斯由其惡言。  應毀便稱譽,  應譽而便毀,  其罪生於口,  死墮惡道中。  博弈亡失財,  是非為大咎,  毀佛及聲聞,  是則為大過。」

彼三天子說是偈已,即沒不現。

爾時,世尊夜過晨朝,來入僧中,于大眾前敷座而坐,告諸比丘:「昨后夜時,有三天子來詣我所,稽首我足,退坐一面。第一天子語我言:『世尊!瞿迦梨比丘——提婆達多伴黨今已命終。』第二天子語余天子言:『瞿迦梨比丘命終墮地獄中。』第三天子即說偈言:

「『士夫生世間,  斧在口中生,   還自斬其身,  斯由其惡言

現代漢語譯本:像這樣第二次、第三次勸說時,瞿迦梨比丘——提婆達多的同黨,對於世尊的再三勸說,違背不接受,從座位上起身離去。離去後,他的身體各處都生出皰瘡,都像栗子一樣,漸漸增大,都像桃子李子一般。 當時,瞿迦梨比丘痛苦難忍,口中說著:『太燙了!太燙了!』膿血流出,身體壞死而亡,墮入大缽曇摩地獄。 當時,有三位天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀處,向佛陀的腳稽首,退坐在一旁。當時,一位天子對佛陀說:『瞿迦梨比丘——提婆達多的同黨現在已經死了。』當時,第二位天子這樣說:『諸位尊者應當知道,瞿迦梨比丘死後墮入了地獄。』第三位天子就說了偈語: 『人出生在世間,斧頭在口中生出,反而自己砍傷自己,這是因為他的惡語。應該譭謗的卻稱讚,應該稱讚的卻譭謗,這種罪過從口中產生,死後墮入惡道之中。賭博會喪失錢財,是非是最大的過錯,譭謗佛陀和聲聞弟子,這是最大的過失。』 那三位天子說完偈語后,就消失不見了。 那時,世尊夜晚過去,早晨來到僧眾中,在大眾面前鋪設座位坐下,告訴眾比丘:『昨天后半夜,有三位天子來到我這裡,向我的腳稽首,退坐在一旁。第一位天子對我說:『世尊!瞿迦梨比丘——提婆達多的同黨現在已經死了。』第二位天子對其他天子說:『瞿迦梨比丘死後墮入了地獄。』第三位天子就說了偈語: 『人出生在世間,斧頭在口中生出,反而自己砍傷自己,這是因為他的惡語。』

English version: Thus, when spoken to a second and third time, the bhikkhu Kokālika—a follower of Devadatta—disregarded and refused the Blessed One's repeated advice, and rose from his seat and left. After he left, blisters arose all over his body, each like a chestnut, gradually growing larger, each like a peach or plum. Then, Bhikkhu Kokālika, suffering greatly, cried out, 『It burns! It burns!』 Pus and blood flowed out, his body decayed, and he died, being reborn in the great Paduma hell. Then, three devas, of exquisite beauty, came to the Buddha in the latter part of the night, bowed down at his feet, and sat to one side. Then, one deva said to the Buddha, 『Bhikkhu Kokālika—a follower of Devadatta—has now died.』 Then, the second deva said, 『Venerable ones, know that Bhikkhu Kokālika has died and fallen into hell.』 The third deva then spoke this verse: 『A man is born into the world, an axe is born in his mouth, with which he cuts himself. This is due to his evil speech. He praises what should be criticized, and criticizes what should be praised. The sin arises from the mouth, and he falls into a bad state after death. Gambling leads to loss of wealth, but slander is a greater fault. Slandering the Buddha and his disciples is the greatest transgression.』 Having spoken this verse, the three devas vanished. Then, the Blessed One, after the night had passed, came to the Sangha in the morning, sat down on the seat prepared for him in front of the assembly, and said to the bhikkhus, 『In the latter part of the night, three devas came to me, bowed down at my feet, and sat to one side. The first deva said to me, 『Venerable Sir, Bhikkhu Kokālika—a follower of Devadatta—has now died.』 The second deva said to the other devas, 『Bhikkhu Kokālika has died and fallen into hell.』 The third deva then spoke this verse: 『A man is born into the world, an axe is born in his mouth, with which he cuts himself. This is due to his evil speech.』


。   應毀便稱譽,  應譽而便毀,   其罪口中生,  死則墮惡道。』

「說是偈已,即沒不現。諸比丘!汝等欲聞生阿浮陀地獄眾生其壽齊限不?」

諸比丘白佛:「今正是時,唯愿世尊為諸大眾說阿浮陀地獄眾生壽命齊限。諸比丘聞已,當受奉行。」

佛告比丘:「諦聽,善思,當爲汝說。譬如拘薩羅國,四斗為一阿羅,四阿羅為一獨籠那,十六獨籠那為一阇摩那,十六阇摩那為一摩尼,二十摩尼為一佉梨,二十佉梨為一倉,滿中芥子。若使有人百年百年取一芥子。如是乃至滿倉芥子都盡,阿浮陀地獄眾生壽命猶故不盡。如是二十阿浮陀地獄眾生壽等一尼羅浮陀地獄眾生壽,二十尼羅浮陀地獄眾生壽等一阿吒吒地獄眾生壽,二十阿吒吒地獄眾生壽等一阿波波地獄眾生壽,二十阿波波地獄眾生壽等一阿休休地獄眾生壽,二十阿休休地獄眾生壽等一優缽羅地獄眾生壽,二十優缽羅地獄眾生壽等一缽曇摩地獄眾生壽,二十缽曇摩地獄眾生壽等一摩訶缽曇摩地獄眾生壽。

「比丘!彼瞿迦梨比丘命終墮摩訶缽曇摩地獄中,以彼于尊者舍利弗、大目揵連比丘生噁心、誹謗故。是故,諸比丘!當作是學:『于彼燒燋炷所,尚不欲毀壞,況毀壞有識眾生?』」佛告諸比丘:「當如是學

現代漢語譯本 『應該譭謗的卻稱讚,應該稱讚的卻譭謗,這種罪過從口中產生,死後就會墮入惡道。』 『說完偈語后,就消失不見了。各位比丘!你們想聽聽阿浮陀地獄眾生的壽命有多長嗎?』 眾比丘對佛說:『現在正是時候,希望世尊為大眾講述阿浮陀地獄眾生的壽命期限。比丘們聽了之後,一定會遵照奉行。』 佛告訴比丘們:『仔細聽,好好思考,我將為你們講述。譬如拘薩羅國,四斗為一阿羅,四阿羅為一獨籠那,十六獨籠那為一阇摩那,十六阇摩那為一摩尼,二十摩尼為一佉梨,二十佉梨為一倉,裡面裝滿了芥子。如果有人每百年取出一粒芥子。這樣一直到滿倉的芥子都取盡,阿浮陀地獄眾生的壽命仍然沒有結束。像這樣,二十個阿浮陀地獄眾生的壽命等於一個尼羅浮陀地獄眾生的壽命,二十個尼羅浮陀地獄眾生的壽命等於一個阿吒吒地獄眾生的壽命,二十個阿吒吒地獄眾生的壽命等於一個阿波波地獄眾生的壽命,二十個阿波波地獄眾生的壽命等於一個阿休休地獄眾生的壽命,二十個阿休休地獄眾生的壽命等於一個優缽羅地獄眾生的壽命,二十個優缽羅地獄眾生的壽命等於一個缽曇摩地獄眾生的壽命,二十個缽曇摩地獄眾生的壽命等於一個摩訶缽曇摩地獄眾生的壽命。』 『比丘們!那個瞿迦梨比丘死後墮入了摩訶缽曇摩地獄,因為他對尊者舍利弗、大目犍連比丘生起了噁心、誹謗。所以,各位比丘!應當這樣學習:『對於那些燒焦的燈芯,尚且不應該毀壞,更何況是毀壞有知覺的眾生呢?』』佛告訴比丘們:『應當這樣學習。』

English version 'To praise what should be reviled, and to revile what should be praised, such sin arises from the mouth, and after death, one falls into evil realms.' 'Having spoken the verse, he immediately disappeared. Monks! Do you wish to hear about the lifespan of beings in the Abbuda hell?' The monks said to the Buddha, 'Now is the right time, may the World Honored One explain the lifespan of beings in the Abbuda hell to the assembly. Having heard it, the monks will follow and practice.' The Buddha told the monks, 'Listen carefully, think well, and I will tell you. For example, in the Kosala country, four 'dou' make one 'ala', four 'ala' make one 'dulongna', sixteen 'dulongna' make one 'jhamana', sixteen 'jhamana' make one 'mani', twenty 'mani' make one 'khari', and twenty 'khari' make one granary, filled with mustard seeds. If someone were to take one mustard seed every hundred years, even when the entire granary of mustard seeds is exhausted, the lifespan of beings in the Abbuda hell would still not be finished. In this way, the lifespan of twenty Abbuda hell beings equals the lifespan of one Nirabbuda hell being, the lifespan of twenty Nirabbuda hell beings equals the lifespan of one Atata hell being, the lifespan of twenty Atata hell beings equals the lifespan of one Ababa hell being, the lifespan of twenty Ababa hell beings equals the lifespan of one Ahaha hell being, the lifespan of twenty Ahaha hell beings equals the lifespan of one Uppala hell being, the lifespan of twenty Uppala hell beings equals the lifespan of one Paduma hell being, and the lifespan of twenty Paduma hell beings equals the lifespan of one Mahapaduma hell being.' 'Monks! That monk Gokali, after his death, fell into the Mahapaduma hell because he harbored evil thoughts and slandered the venerable Sariputta and Maha Moggallana. Therefore, monks! You should train yourselves thus: 'Even a burnt wick should not be destroyed, how much more so should sentient beings not be destroyed?' The Buddha told the monks, 'You should train yourselves thus.'


。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二七九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「退落墮負處,  云何而得知?  唯愿世尊說,  云何負處門?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「勝處易得知,  負處知亦易,  樂法為勝處,  毀法為負處。  愛樂惡知識,  不愛善知識,  善友生怨結,  是名墮負門。  愛樂不善人,  善人反憎惡,  欲惡不欲善,  是名負處門。  斗秤以欺人,  是名墮負門。  博弈耽嗜酒,  游輕著女色,  費喪于財物,  是名墮負門,  女人不自守,  舍主隨他行,  男子心放蕩,  舍妻隨外色,  如是為家者,  斯皆墮負門。  老婦得少夫,  心常懷嫉姤,  懷嫉臥不安,  是則墮負門。  老夫得少婦,  墮負處亦然。  常樂著睡眠,  知識同遊戲,  怠墮好瞋恨,  斯皆墮負門。  多財結朋友,  酒食奢不節,  多費喪財物,  斯皆墮負門

現代漢語譯本:佛陀說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜地奉行。 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位容貌絕妙的天子,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。他的身體散發出光明,照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子以偈語向佛陀請教: 『如何得知退落、墮落、失敗之處?唯愿世尊開示,什麼是導致失敗的途徑?』 這時,世尊以偈語回答說: 『成功之處容易得知,失敗之處也容易得知,樂於佛法是成功之處,譭謗佛法是失敗之處。 喜愛惡友,不喜愛善友,與善友結下怨恨,這被稱為墮落失敗的途徑。 喜愛不善之人,反而憎惡善人,想要惡事而不想要善事,這被稱為失敗的途徑。 用斗秤欺騙他人,這被稱為墮落失敗的途徑。 沉迷賭博、嗜酒,遊手好閒、貪戀女色,浪費錢財,這被稱為墮落失敗的途徑。 女人不守婦道,拋棄丈夫跟隨他人,男子心性放蕩,拋棄妻子貪戀外色,像這樣持家的人,都屬於墮落失敗的途徑。 老婦嫁給年輕的丈夫,心中常常懷有嫉妒,因嫉妒而臥不安寧,這就是墮落失敗的途徑。 老夫娶了年輕的妻子,墮落失敗的情況也是如此。 常常喜歡睡覺,與朋友一起玩樂,懶惰懈怠、喜歡嗔恨,這些都屬於墮落失敗的途徑。 有錢時結交朋友,飲酒吃飯奢侈無度,大量浪費錢財,這些都屬於墮落失敗的途徑。』

English version: After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. Then, a celestial being of extraordinary beauty, in the latter part of the night, came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. His body emitted light that illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, that celestial being spoke in verse, asking the Buddha: 'How can one know the places of decline, fall, and defeat? May the World Honored One explain, what are the paths to defeat?' At that time, the World Honored One answered in verse: 'The places of success are easy to know, the places of defeat are also easy to know. Delight in the Dharma is a place of success, slandering the Dharma is a place of defeat. Loving evil friends, not loving good friends, creating resentment with good friends, this is called a path to decline and defeat. Loving unwholesome people, instead hating wholesome people, desiring evil and not desiring good, this is called a path to defeat. Deceiving others with scales and measures, this is called a path to decline and defeat. Being addicted to gambling and alcohol, being idle and indulging in sensual pleasures, wasting wealth, this is called a path to decline and defeat. A woman not keeping to her duties, abandoning her husband to follow others, a man with a dissolute mind, abandoning his wife to indulge in external attractions, those who manage their households like this, all belong to the path of decline and defeat. An old woman marrying a young husband, her heart constantly harboring jealousy, lying restless due to jealousy, this is a path to decline and defeat. An old man taking a young wife, the situation of decline and defeat is the same. Constantly enjoying sleep, playing with friends, being lazy and prone to anger, these all belong to the path of decline and defeat. Making friends when wealthy, indulging in extravagant drinking and eating, wasting large amounts of wealth, these all belong to the path of decline and defeat.'


。  小財多貪愛,  生於剎利心,  常求為王者,  是則墮負門。  求珠珰瓔珞,  革屣履傘蓋,  莊嚴自慳惜,  是則墮負門。  受他豐美食,  自慳惜其財,  食他不反報,  是則墮負門。  沙門婆羅門,  屈請入其舍,  慳惜不時施,  是則墮負門。  沙門婆羅門,  次第行乞食,  呵責不欲施,  是則墮負門。  若父母年老,  不及時奉養,  有財而不施,  是則墮負門。  于父母兄弟,  捶打而罵辱,  無有尊卑序,  是則墮負門。  佛及弟子眾,  在家與出家,  毀呰不恭敬,  是則墮負門。  實非阿羅漢,  羅漢過自稱,  是則世間賊,  墮于負處門。  此世間負處,  我知見故說,  猶如險怖道,  慧者當遠避。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一二八〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有一天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 貪圖小利,心懷剎帝利般的傲慢, 常常想著成為統治者,這就會墮入失敗之門。 追求珠寶瓔珞,皮革鞋子和傘蓋, 用這些來裝飾自己卻又吝嗇,這就會墮入失敗之門。 接受他人豐盛的食物,自己卻吝嗇錢財, 吃了別人的東西卻不回報,這就會墮入失敗之門。 沙門和婆羅門,請求到你家, 你卻吝嗇不及時佈施,這就會墮入失敗之門。 沙門和婆羅門,依次乞食, 你卻呵斥他們不願佈施,這就會墮入失敗之門。 如果父母年老,不及時供養, 有錢卻不佈施,這就會墮入失敗之門。 對父母兄弟,拳打腳踢,辱罵, 沒有尊卑秩序,這就會墮入失敗之門。 對佛陀和弟子們,在家和出家眾, 譭謗,不恭敬,這就會墮入失敗之門。 明明不是阿羅漢,卻自稱是阿羅漢, 這是世間的盜賊,會墮入失敗之門。 這些世間失敗之處,我因為知道並看見所以說出, 就像危險恐怖的道路,有智慧的人應當遠離。 這時,那位天子又說偈語: 很久以前就見到婆羅門,證得涅槃, 一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越世間的恩愛。 這時,那位天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。 (一二八〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。

English version Greedy for small gains, with a Kshatriya-like arrogance in your heart, Constantly seeking to be a ruler, this leads to the door of failure. Pursuing jewels, necklaces, leather shoes, and parasols, Adorning yourself with these yet being stingy, this leads to the door of failure. Accepting abundant food from others, yet being stingy with your own wealth, Eating from others without reciprocating, this leads to the door of failure. When ascetics and Brahmins request to enter your home, Being stingy and not giving alms in time, this leads to the door of failure. When ascetics and Brahmins go begging for alms in order, Scolding them and unwilling to give, this leads to the door of failure. If your parents are old, and you do not provide for them in time, Having wealth but not giving alms, this leads to the door of failure. To your parents and siblings, striking and scolding them, Lacking respect for elders and juniors, this leads to the door of failure. To the Buddha and his disciples, both lay and ordained, Slandering and disrespecting them, this leads to the door of failure. Clearly not an Arhat, yet claiming to be an Arhat, This is a thief of the world, falling into the door of failure. These are the places of failure in the world, which I speak of because I know and see them, Like dangerous and frightening paths, the wise should avoid them. At that time, that Deva spoke another verse: Long ago I saw the Brahmin, attaining Nirvana, All fear has passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection. At that time, that Deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed along, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1280) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, a Deva, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.


時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「誰屈下而屈下?  誰高舉而隨舉?  云何童子戲,  如童塊相擲?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「愛下則隨下,  愛舉則隨舉,  愛戲于愚夫,  如童塊相擲。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子而說偈言:

「決定以遮遮,  意妄想而來,  若人遮一切,  不令其逼迫。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「決定以遮遮,  意妄想而來,  不必一切遮,  但遮其惡業。  遮彼彼惡已,  不令其逼迫。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一二八二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀請教: 『是誰屈身而屈身?是誰高舉而隨之高舉? 為何像孩童玩耍一般,如同孩童互相投擲泥塊?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『愛屈身則隨之屈身,愛高舉則隨之高舉, 愚人喜愛玩耍,就像孩童互相投擲泥塊。』 當時,那位天子又說偈語道: 『我已久見婆羅門,證得涅槃, 一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越世俗的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。

(一二八一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位天子容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。他的身光遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,那位天子說偈語道: 『必須以遮止來遮止,意念妄想由此而來, 如果有人遮止一切,就不會被其逼迫。』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『必須以遮止來遮止,意念妄想由此而來, 不必遮止一切,只需遮止惡業。 遮止了那些惡業,就不會被其逼迫。』 當時,那位天子又說偈語道: 『我已久見婆羅門,證得涅槃, 一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越世俗的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。

(一二八二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version Then, that celestial being spoke in verse, asking the Buddha: 'Who bends down by bending down? Who rises up by rising up? Why is it like a child's play, like children throwing clods of earth at each other?' At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'Loving to bend down, one follows bending down; loving to rise up, one follows rising up, The foolish love to play, like children throwing clods of earth at each other.' Then, that celestial being spoke again in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fear has passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' Then, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared.

(1281)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

Then, a celestial being of extraordinary beauty came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.

Then, that celestial being spoke in verse: 'One must restrain by restraining, for thoughts of delusion arise from this, If one restrains all, one will not be oppressed by them.' At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'One must restrain by restraining, for thoughts of delusion arise from this, It is not necessary to restrain all, but only to restrain evil deeds. Having restrained those evil deeds, one will not be oppressed by them.' Then, that celestial being spoke again in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fear has passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' Then, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared.

(1282)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「云何得名稱?  云何得大財?  云何德流聞?  云何得善友?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「持戒得名稱,  佈施得大財,  真實德流聞,  恩惠得善友。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「云何人所作,  智慧以求財,  等攝受于財,  若勝若復劣?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「始學功巧業,  方便集財物,  得彼財物已,  當應作四分,  一分自食用,  二分營生業,  餘一分藏密,  以擬於貧乏

現代漢語譯本 當時,有一位容貌絕佳的天子,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的足部頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀提問: 『如何才能獲得名聲?如何才能獲得巨大的財富? 如何才能使美德廣為流傳?如何才能獲得良善的朋友?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『持守戒律可以獲得名聲,佈施可以獲得巨大的財富, 真實不虛可以使美德廣為流傳,恩惠待人可以獲得良善的朋友。』 當時,那位天子又用偈語說道: 『我久已見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃, 一切恐懼都已消除,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的足部頂禮,隨即消失不見。 (一二八三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位容貌絕佳的天子,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的足部頂禮,他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀提問: 『人們應該如何做,才能用智慧去求取財富, 並且平等地支配這些財富,無論是多還是少?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『開始學習各種技藝,用方便的方法積聚財富, 得到這些財富之後,應當將其分為四份, 一份自己食用,兩份用來經營生計, 剩餘一份秘密儲藏,用來應對貧困和匱乏。』

English version At that time, there was a celestial being of exquisite appearance who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove and Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that celestial being asked the Buddha in verse: 'How does one gain renown? How does one gain great wealth? How does one spread virtue far and wide? How does one gain good friends?' Then, the World-Honored One answered in verse: 'By upholding precepts, one gains renown; by giving, one gains great wealth, By being truthful, one spreads virtue far and wide; by being kind, one gains good friends.' At that time, that celestial being again spoke in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fears have been overcome, and he has forever transcended worldly love and affection.' At that time, that celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1283) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove and Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, there was a celestial being of exquisite appearance who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove and Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that celestial being asked the Buddha in verse: 'How should people act, to seek wealth with wisdom, And how should they equally manage that wealth, whether it be much or little?' Then, the World-Honored One answered in verse: 'Begin by learning various skills, and gather wealth through skillful means, Having obtained that wealth, one should divide it into four parts, One part for one's own consumption, two parts for managing one's livelihood, And the remaining part should be secretly stored, to prepare for poverty and want.'


。  營生之業者,  田種行商賈,  牧牛羊興息,  邸舍以求利,  造屋舍床臥,  六種資生具,  方便修眾具,  安樂以存世,  如是善修業,  黠慧以求財,  財寶隨順生,  如眾流歸海。  如是財饒益,  如蜂集眾味,  晝夜財增長,  猶如蟻積堆。  不付老子財,  不寄邊境民,  不信奸狡人,  及諸慳吝者,  親附成事者,  遠離不成事,  能成事士夫,  猶如火熾然。  善友貴重人,  敏密修良者,  同氣親兄弟,  善能相攝受。  居親眷屬中,  摽顯若牛王,  各隨其所應,  分財施飲食。  壽盡而命終,  當生天受樂。」

(一二八四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「過去世時,拘薩羅國有彈琴人,名曰粗牛,于拘薩羅國人間遊行,止息野中。時,有六廣大天宮天女,來至憍薩羅國粗牛彈琴人所,語粗牛彈琴人言:『阿舅!阿舅!為我彈琴,我當歌舞

現代漢語譯本 那些從事營生的人,有的耕田種地,有的經商做買賣, 有的放牧牛羊以求增殖,有的開設店舖以圖獲利, 有的建造房屋床鋪供人居住,這六種是維持生計的工具。 他們善於運用各種方法,修繕各種器具,以此安樂地生活在世上。 像這樣努力經營事業,聰明地獲取財富, 財富自然會隨之而來,就像眾多的河流匯入大海一樣。 這樣積累財富,就像蜜蜂採集各種花蜜一樣, 日夜財富都在增長,就像螞蟻堆積食物一樣。 不把財產託付給年老的父親,不寄存在邊境的居民那裡, 不信任奸詐狡猾的人,以及那些吝嗇的人。 親近那些能成事的人,遠離那些不能成事的人, 能成事的人,就像燃燒的火焰一樣充滿力量。 要重視那些善良的朋友,那些謹慎細緻、修養良好的人, 還有那些同氣連枝的親兄弟,他們都能互相幫助。 在親戚眷屬中,要像牛王一樣顯赫, 根據每個人的需要,分配財產和食物。 壽命終結而死去,應當往生天界享受快樂。

這時,那位天子又說偈語:

'很久以前就見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,' '一切恐懼都已消除,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。'

這時,那位天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀頂禮,隨即消失不見。

(一二八四)

我是這樣聽說的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,世尊告訴眾比丘:'過去世時,拘薩羅國有一個彈琴的人,名叫粗牛,在拘薩羅國的人間遊歷,在野外休息。當時,有六位廣大的天宮天女,來到拘薩羅國粗牛彈琴人那裡,對粗牛彈琴人說:『阿舅!阿舅!為我們彈琴,我們來唱歌跳舞。』

English version Those who engage in livelihoods, some cultivate fields, some do business and trade, some herd cattle and sheep to increase their wealth, some open shops to seek profit, some build houses and beds for people to live in, these six are the tools for sustaining life. They are good at using various methods, repairing various tools, and thus living peacefully in the world. Like this, diligently managing their affairs, cleverly acquiring wealth, wealth will naturally follow, just as many rivers flow into the sea. Accumulating wealth like this is like bees collecting various flower nectar, day and night wealth is increasing, just like ants piling up food. Do not entrust property to an old father, do not deposit it with border residents, do not trust treacherous and cunning people, as well as those who are stingy. Be close to those who can accomplish things, stay away from those who cannot, those who can accomplish things are like a burning flame full of power. Value those good friends, those who are careful and meticulous, and those who are well-cultivated, and also those close brothers who share the same breath, they can all help each other. Among relatives and family members, be prominent like a bull king, according to each person's needs, distribute property and food. When life ends and death comes, one should be reborn in heaven to enjoy happiness.

At this time, that celestial being spoke another verse:

'Long ago I saw the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana,' 'All fears have been eliminated, forever transcending worldly love.'

At this time, that celestial being heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed to the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared.

(1284)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika in Sravasti.

At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'In the past, in the country of Kosala, there was a lute player named Crude Ox, who traveled among the people of Kosala, resting in the wilderness. At that time, six great celestial palace goddesses came to the lute player Crude Ox in Kosala, and said to the lute player Crude Ox: 'Uncle! Uncle! Play the lute for us, and we will sing and dance.'


。』粗牛彈琴者言:『如是,姊妹!我當爲汝彈琴,汝當語我汝是何人?何由生此?』天女答言:『阿舅!且彈琴,我當歌舞,于歌頌中,自說所以生此因緣。』彼拘薩羅國粗牛彈琴人即便彈琴,彼六天女即便歌舞。

「第一天女說偈歌言:

「『若男子女人,  勝妙衣惠施,   施衣因緣故,  所生得殊勝。   施所愛念物,  生天隨所欲,   見我居宮殿,  乘空而遊行。   天身如金聚,  天女百中勝,   觀察斯福德,  迴向中之最。』

「第二天女復說偈言:

「『若男子女人,  勝妙香惠施,   愛念可意施,  生天隨所欲。   見我處宮殿,  乘空而遊行,   天身若金聚,  天女百中勝。   觀察斯福德,  迴向中之最。』

「第三天女復說偈言:

「『若男子女人,  以食而惠施,   可意愛念施,  生天隨所欲。   見我居宮殿,  乘虛而遊行,   天身如金聚,  天女百中勝,   觀察斯福德,  迴向中之最。』

「第四天女復說偈言:

「『憶念餘生時,  曾為人婢使,   不盜不貪嗜,  勤修不懈怠。   量腹自節身,  分餐救貧人,   今見居宮殿,  乘虛而遊行

現代漢語譯本 『粗牛彈琴的人說:『好的,姐妹們!我來為你們彈琴,你們要告訴我你們是誰?從哪裡來的?』天女回答說:『阿舅!你先彈琴,我來唱歌跳舞,在歌舞中,我會自己說出我來到這裡的原因。』那個拘薩羅國的粗牛彈琴人就開始彈琴,那六個天女就開始唱歌跳舞。 『第一位天女唱偈說道: 『如果男子或女人, 佈施美好的衣服, 因為佈施衣服的緣故, 所生之處會很殊勝。 佈施自己喜愛的東西, 往生天界隨心所欲, 看我住在宮殿里, 在空中飛行。 天身像金子一樣閃耀, 比一百個天女都優秀, 觀察這種福德, 是迴向中最殊勝的。』 『第二位天女又唱偈說道: 『如果男子或女人, 佈施美好的香, 佈施自己喜愛的東西, 往生天界隨心所欲。 看我住在宮殿里, 在空中飛行, 天身像金子一樣閃耀, 比一百個天女都優秀。 觀察這種福德, 是迴向中最殊勝的。』 『第三位天女又唱偈說道: 『如果男子或女人, 佈施食物, 佈施自己喜愛的東西, 往生天界隨心所欲。 看我住在宮殿里, 在空中飛行, 天身像金子一樣閃耀, 比一百個天女都優秀, 觀察這種福德, 是迴向中最殊勝的。』 『第四位天女又唱偈說道: 『回憶我前世的時候, 曾經是別人的婢女, 不偷盜不貪婪, 勤奮修行不懈怠。 量腹而食節制自己, 分出食物救濟窮人, 現在看我住在宮殿里, 在空中飛行

English version The 'Rough Bull' lute player said: 'Alright, sisters! I will play the lute for you, and you must tell me who you are and where you came from.' The heavenly maidens replied: 'Uncle! Please play the lute first, and I will sing and dance. In the song and dance, I will explain the reasons for my being here.' The 'Rough Bull' lute player from Kosala then began to play the lute, and the six heavenly maidens began to sing and dance. The first heavenly maiden sang a verse, saying: 'If a man or woman, bestows excellent clothing, Because of the merit of giving clothing, where they are born will be extraordinary. Giving what they love, they are reborn in heaven as they wish, See me dwelling in a palace, and flying in the sky. My heavenly body shines like gold, more excellent than a hundred heavenly maidens, Observing this merit, is the most excellent of dedications.' The second heavenly maiden sang another verse, saying: 'If a man or woman, bestows excellent fragrance, Giving what they love, they are reborn in heaven as they wish. See me dwelling in a palace, and flying in the sky, My heavenly body shines like gold, more excellent than a hundred heavenly maidens. Observing this merit, is the most excellent of dedications.' The third heavenly maiden sang another verse, saying: 'If a man or woman, bestows food, Giving what they love, they are reborn in heaven as they wish. See me dwelling in a palace, and flying in the sky, My heavenly body shines like gold, more excellent than a hundred heavenly maidens, Observing this merit, is the most excellent of dedications.' The fourth heavenly maiden sang another verse, saying: 'Recalling my past life, I was once a servant, Not stealing, not greedy, diligently practicing without laziness. Eating moderately, controlling myself, sharing food to help the poor, Now see me dwelling in a palace, and flying in the sky


。   天身如金聚,  天女百中勝,   觀察斯福德,  供養中為最。』

「第五天女復說偈言:

「『憶念餘生時,  為人作子婦,   嫜姑性狂暴,  常加粗澀言。   執節修婦禮,  卑遜而奉順,   今見處宮殿,  乘虛而遊行。   天身如金聚,  天女百中勝,   觀察斯福德,  供養中為最。』

「第六天女復說偈言:

「『昔曾見行跡,  比丘比丘尼,   從其聞正法,  一宿受齋戒。   今見處天宮,  乘虛而遊行,   天身如金聚,  天女百中勝。   觀察斯福德,  迴向中之最。』

「爾時,拘薩羅國粗牛彈琴人而說偈言:

「『我今善來此,  拘薩羅林中,   得見此天女,  具足妙天身。   既見又聞說,  當增修善業,   緣今修功德,  亦當生天上。』

「說是語已,此諸天女即沒不現。」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一二八五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 『身體如黃金般聚集,天女之中百裡挑一,觀察這福德,供養是其中最殊勝的。』 『第五天女又說偈語:』 『回憶前生的時候,我曾做別人的兒媳,婆婆性情暴躁,常常說粗俗難聽的話。我堅守婦道,謙卑順從,如今卻身處宮殿,乘空飛行。身體如黃金般聚集,天女之中百裡挑一,觀察這福德,供養是其中最殊勝的。』 『第六天女又說偈語:』 『過去曾見過比丘和比丘尼的行跡,從他們那裡聽聞正法,並持守了一夜的齋戒。如今卻身處天宮,乘空飛行,身體如黃金般聚集,天女之中百裡挑一。觀察這福德,迴向是其中最殊勝的。』 『當時,拘薩羅國一個彈琴的粗牛人說了偈語:』 『我今天真是幸運來到這拘薩羅的樹林中,得見這些天女,擁有如此美妙的天身。既已見到又聽聞她們所說,應當更加精進修行善業,憑藉今天修的功德,將來也應當能生到天上。』 『說完這些話后,這些天女就消失不見了。』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。 (一二八五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。

English version 'My body is like a gathering of gold, I am superior among hundreds of celestial maidens. Observing this merit, offerings are the most excellent among them.' 'The fifth celestial maiden again spoke in verse:' 'Recalling my past life, I was a daughter-in-law to others. My mother-in-law was of a violent nature, often speaking harsh and vulgar words. I upheld the duties of a wife, being humble and obedient. Now I dwell in a palace, flying through the air. My body is like a gathering of gold, I am superior among hundreds of celestial maidens. Observing this merit, offerings are the most excellent among them.' 'The sixth celestial maiden again spoke in verse:' 'In the past, I saw the conduct of monks and nuns, from whom I heard the true Dharma, and observed a fast for one night. Now I dwell in a heavenly palace, flying through the air. My body is like a gathering of gold, I am superior among hundreds of celestial maidens. Observing this merit, dedication is the most excellent among them.' 'At that time, a rough cowherd who played the lute in the country of Kosala spoke in verse:' 'I am fortunate to have come to this forest of Kosala today, to see these celestial maidens, possessing such wonderful celestial bodies. Having seen and heard what they said, I should be more diligent in cultivating good deeds. By the merit I cultivate today, I should also be born in heaven in the future.' 'After saying these words, these celestial maidens disappeared.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1285) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, a celestial being of extraordinary beauty came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.


時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「何法起應滅?  何生應防護?  何法應當離?  等觀何得樂?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「瞋恚起應滅,  貪生逆防護,  無明應舍離,  等觀真諦樂。  欲生諸煩惱,  欲為生苦本,  調伏煩惱者,  眾苦則調伏。  調伏眾苦者,  煩惱亦調伏。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

於是,天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一二八六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「若人行放逸,  愚癡離惡慧,  禪思不放逸,  疾得盡諸漏。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「非世間眾事,  是則之為欲,  心法馳覺想,  是名士夫欲。  世間種種事,  常在於世間,  智慧修禪思,  愛慾永潛伏。  信為士夫伴,  不信則不度,  信增其名稱,  命終得生天。  于身虛空想,  名色不堅固,  不著名色者,  遠離於積聚

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀請教: 『什麼法應當生起並被滅除?什麼應當被保護? 什麼法應當被捨棄?如何平等觀察才能獲得快樂?』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『嗔恚生起應當被滅除,貪慾生起應當被逆向防護, 無明應當被捨棄,平等觀察真理才能獲得快樂。 慾望會產生各種煩惱,慾望是產生痛苦的根源, 調伏煩惱的人,就能調伏各種痛苦。 調伏各種痛苦的人,也能調伏煩惱。』 當時,那位天子又說偈語道: 『我很久以前就見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃, 一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 於是,天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。

(一二八六)

我聽聞是這樣的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位天子容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。他的身光照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀請教: 『如果有人行為放縱,愚癡而遠離智慧, 禪思而不放逸,就能迅速斷盡一切煩惱。』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『世間各種事物,並非真正的慾望, 心隨覺想而馳騁,這才是凡夫的慾望。 世間種種事物,常常存在於世間, 以智慧修習禪思,愛慾就會永遠潛伏。 信仰是修行者的伴侶,不信則無法度脫, 信仰增長其名聲,命終后得以往生天界。 觀想身體如虛空,名色並不堅固, 不執著名色的人,就能遠離積聚。』

English version Then, that celestial being spoke in verses, asking the Buddha: 'What dharma should arise and be extinguished? What should be protected? What dharma should be abandoned? How can one attain happiness through equal observation?' At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verses: 'Anger should arise and be extinguished, greed should arise and be inversely protected, Ignorance should be abandoned, equal observation of the truth brings happiness. Desire gives rise to various afflictions, desire is the root of suffering, One who subdues afflictions, subdues all suffering. One who subdues all suffering, also subdues afflictions.' Then, that celestial being spoke in verses again: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fear has passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love and affection.' Thereupon, the celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then vanished.

(1286)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

Then, a celestial being of extraordinary beauty came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. His radiance illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.

Then, that celestial being spoke in verses, asking the Buddha: 'If a person acts with indulgence, foolishly abandoning wisdom, Meditates without indulgence, they will quickly exhaust all defilements.' At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verses: 'The various affairs of the world are not true desires, The mind that races with thoughts and perceptions, that is the desire of ordinary people. The various affairs of the world, always exist in the world, With wisdom, practicing meditation, desire will forever lie dormant. Faith is the companion of a practitioner, without faith one cannot cross over, Faith increases one's reputation, and upon death, one is reborn in the heavens. Contemplate the body as empty space, name and form are not firm, One who is not attached to name and form, will be far from accumulation.'


。  觀此真實義,  如解脫哀愍,  由斯智慧故,  世稱歎供養。  能斷眾雜相,  超絕生死流,  超度諸流已,  是名為比丘。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

於是,天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一二八七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「與何人同處,  復與誰共事,  知何等人法,  名為勝非惡?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「與正士同遊,  正士同其事,  解知正士法,  是則勝非惡。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一二八八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 觀察這真實的意義,如同解脫了悲哀和憐憫,因為這種智慧的緣故,世人稱讚並供養他。能夠斷除各種雜亂的表象,超越生死的輪迴,度過一切的流轉,這樣的人才被稱為比丘。 當時,那位天子又說偈語: 『很久以來,我見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,一切的恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世俗的恩愛。』 於是,天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀頂禮,隨即消失不見。

(一二八七)

如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀頂禮,他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子說偈語問佛: 『與什麼樣的人同處,又與什麼樣的人共事,瞭解什麼樣的人的法,才能被稱為殊勝而非惡劣?』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『與正直的人同行,與正直的人共事,瞭解正直的人的法,這樣就是殊勝而非惡劣。』 當時,那位天子又說偈語: 『很久以來,我見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,一切的恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世俗的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀頂禮,隨即消失不見。

(一二八八)

如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。

English version Observing this true meaning, like one who has attained liberation from sorrow and compassion, because of this wisdom, the world praises and makes offerings to him. Able to cut off all kinds of mixed appearances, transcending the cycle of birth and death, having crossed over all the currents, such a person is called a Bhikkhu. At that time, that Deva also spoke a verse: 'For a long time, I have seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, all fears have passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love.' Then, the Deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared.

(1287)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, a Deva of extraordinary beauty came to the Buddha's dwelling in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that Deva spoke a verse asking the Buddha: 'With whom does one dwell, and with whom does one work, understanding the Dharma of what kind of person, can one be called superior and not evil?' Then, the World Honored One answered in verse: 'One travels with the righteous, one works with the righteous, understanding the Dharma of the righteous, this is superior and not evil.' At that time, that Deva also spoke a verse: 'For a long time, I have seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, all fears have passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love.' Then, the Deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared.

(1288)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, a Deva of extraordinary beauty came to the Buddha's dwelling in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.


時,彼天子而說偈言:

「慳吝生於心,  不能行佈施,  明智求福者,  乃能行其惠。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「怖畏不行施,  常得不施怖,  怖畏於飢渴,  慳惜從怖生。  此世及他世,  常癡飢渴畏,  死則不隨死,  獨往無資糧。  少財能施者,  多財難亦舍,  難捨而能捨,  是則為難施。  無知者不覺,  慧者知難知,  以法養妻子,  少財凈心施。  百千耶盛會,  所獲其福利,  比前如法施,  十六不及一。  打縛惱眾生,  所得諸財物,  惠施安國土,  是名有罪施。  方之平等施,  稱量所不及,  如法不行非,  所得財物施。  難施而行施,  是應賢聖施,  所往常獲福,  壽終上生天。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

時,彼天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一二八九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城金婆羅山金婆羅鬼神住處石室中。

爾時,世尊金槍刺足,未經幾時,起身苦痛;能得舍心,正智正念,堪忍自安,無退減想

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位天子說了這樣的偈語: 『吝嗇產生於內心,不能施行佈施,明智尋求福報的人,才能施行恩惠。』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『因為恐懼而不施行佈施,常常會得到不佈施的恐懼,因為恐懼飢渴,吝嗇是從恐懼產生的。 這一世和下一世,常常因為愚癡而恐懼飢渴,死亡不會隨著死亡,獨自前往沒有資糧。 少財的人能夠佈施,多財的人反而難以捨棄,難以捨棄卻能夠捨棄,這才是最難的佈施。 無知的人不覺悟,有智慧的人知道這其中的難處,用正法養活妻子兒女,用少量的錢財清凈心地佈施。 成百上千的盛大集會,所獲得的福報,比不上前面如法佈施的十六分之一。 通過打罵捆綁惱害眾生,所得到的各種財物,用來惠施安定國家,這叫做有罪的佈施。 與平等佈施相比,無法衡量,不如法而行,不是用所得的財物佈施。 難以佈施卻能施行佈施,這才是賢聖的佈施,所去之處常常獲得福報,壽命終結後會升到天上。』 當時,那位天子又說了這樣的偈語: 『我很久以前就見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃,一切恐懼都已經過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,那位天子聽了佛所說的話,歡喜隨喜,向佛稽首,隨即消失不見。 (一二八九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城金婆羅山金婆羅鬼神居住處的石室中。 當時,世尊被金槍刺傷了腳,沒過多久,起身時感到痛苦;能夠捨棄痛苦,保持正智正念,能夠忍受並安住,沒有退減的想法。

English version At that time, the celestial being spoke these verses: 'Stinginess arises in the heart, unable to practice giving. The wise who seek blessings are able to practice generosity.' Then, the World Honored One replied with these verses: 'Fearing not to give, one always obtains the fear of not giving. Fearing hunger and thirst, stinginess arises from fear. In this life and the next, one is often foolishly afraid of hunger and thirst. Death does not follow death; one goes alone without provisions. Those with little wealth can give, while those with much wealth find it difficult to give. To give when it is difficult to give is the most difficult giving. The ignorant do not realize, while the wise know the difficulty. Supporting one's wife and children with the Dharma, one gives with a pure heart even with little wealth. The blessings obtained from hundreds and thousands of grand gatherings are not even one-sixteenth of the previous righteous giving. The wealth obtained by beating, binding, and harming sentient beings, used to bestow peace upon the country, is called sinful giving. Compared to equal giving, it cannot be measured. It is not righteous to give with wealth obtained unrighteously. To give when it is difficult to give is the giving of the wise and noble. One always obtains blessings wherever one goes, and after death, one ascends to heaven.' At that time, the celestial being spoke these verses again: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana. All fears have passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love and attachment.' At that time, the celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1289) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the stone chamber at the residence of the Kimbaro Yaksha on Mount Kimbaro in Rajagriha. At that time, the World Honored One was pierced in the foot by a golden spear. Not long after, when he got up, he felt pain; he was able to let go of the pain, maintain right wisdom and right mindfulness, endure and abide in peace, without any thought of diminishing.


彼有山神天子八人,作是念:「今日世尊住王舍城金婆羅山金婆羅鬼神住處石室中,金槍刺足,起身苦痛而能捨心,正念正智,堪忍自安,無所退減,我等當往面前讚歎。」作是念已,往詣佛所,稽首禮足,退住一面。

第一天神說偈嘆言:

「沙門瞿曇,  人中師子,  身遭苦痛,  堪忍自安,  正智正念,  無所退減。」

第二天子復讚歎言:

「大士之大龍,  大士之牛王,  大士夫勇力,  大士夫良馬,  大士夫上首,  大士夫之勝。」

第三天子復讚歎言:

「此沙門瞿曇,  士夫分陀利,  身生諸苦痛,  而能行舍心,  正智正念住,  堪忍以自安,  而無所退減。」

第四天子復讚歎言:「若有于沙門瞿曇士夫分陀利所說違反嫌責,當知斯等長夜當得不饒益苦,唯除不知真實者。」

第五天子復說偈言:

「觀彼三昧定,  善住于正受,  解脫離諸塵,  不踴亦不沒,  其心安隱住,  而得心解脫。」

第六天子復說偈言:

「經歷五百歲,  誦婆羅門典,  精勤修苦行,  不解脫離塵,  是則卑下類,  不得度彼岸

現代漢語譯本 有八位山神天子,他們這樣想:『今天世尊住在王舍城金婆羅山金婆羅鬼神居住的石室中,被金槍刺傷了腳,起身時感到痛苦,卻能放下心念,保持正念正智,能夠忍受並安住,沒有任何退減。我們應當前去讚歎他。』他們這樣想后,就前往佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,然後退到一旁。 第一位天神用偈語讚歎道: 『沙門瞿曇,人中獅子,身受苦痛,能夠忍受並安住,正智正念,沒有任何退減。』 第二位天子又讚歎道: 『大士如大龍,大士如牛王,大士丈夫勇猛有力,大士丈夫如良馬,大士丈夫是首領,大士丈夫是殊勝的。』 第三位天子又讚歎道: 『這位沙門瞿曇,是丈夫中的白蓮花,身受各種苦痛,卻能放下心念,保持正智正念,能夠忍受並安住,沒有任何退減。』 第四位天子又讚歎道:『如果有人對沙門瞿曇這位丈夫白蓮花所說的話表示反對或責難,應當知道這些人將長久遭受不利和痛苦,除非他們是不瞭解真相的人。』 第五位天子又說偈語道: 『觀察他入定的狀態,善於安住于正受,解脫了各種塵垢,不浮躁也不沉沒,他的心安穩地住著,從而獲得了解脫。』 第六位天子又說偈語道: 『經歷了五百年的時間,誦讀婆羅門經典,精勤地修行苦行,卻不能解脫塵垢,這些人是卑下的,不能到達彼岸。』

English version There were eight mountain god devas, who thought: 'Today, the World Honored One is dwelling in the stone chamber on Mount Gijjhakuta in Rajagaha, the dwelling place of the Gijjhakuta Yaksha. His foot was pierced by a golden spear, and though he experiences pain when rising, he is able to let go of his mind, maintain right mindfulness and right wisdom, endure and abide in peace, without any diminution. We should go before him and praise him.' Having thought this, they went to where the Buddha was, bowed at his feet, and then stood to one side. The first deva praised him with a verse: 'The Shramana Gautama, a lion among men, endures suffering in his body, able to endure and abide in peace, with right wisdom and right mindfulness, without any diminution.' The second deva praised him again, saying: 'The great being is like a great dragon, the great being is like a bull king, the great being is a courageous man, the great being is like a fine horse, the great being is the leader, the great being is the most excellent.' The third deva praised him again, saying: 'This Shramana Gautama, a white lotus among men, experiences various sufferings in his body, yet is able to let go of his mind, maintain right wisdom and right mindfulness, able to endure and abide in peace, without any diminution.' The fourth deva praised him again, saying: 'If anyone opposes or criticizes what the Shramana Gautama, this white lotus among men, has said, know that these people will long suffer disadvantage and pain, unless they are those who do not understand the truth.' The fifth deva spoke a verse: 'Observe his state of samadhi, well-abiding in right reception, liberated from all defilements, neither agitated nor submerged, his mind dwells in peace, and thus he attains liberation.' The sixth deva spoke a verse: 'Having spent five hundred years, reciting the Brahmanical scriptures, diligently practicing austerities, yet not liberated from defilements, these are the inferior ones, unable to reach the other shore.'


。」

第七天子復說偈言:

「為欲之所迫,  持戒之所縛,  勇捍行苦行,  經歷于百年,  其心不解脫,  不離於塵垢,  是則卑下類,  不度于彼岸。」

第八天子復說偈言:

「心居憍慢欲,  不能自調伏,  不得三昧定,  牟尼之正受,  獨一居山林,  其心常放逸,  于彼死魔軍,  不得度彼岸。」

時,彼山神天子八人各各讚歎已,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一二九〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子而說偈言:

「廣無過於地,  深無逾于海,  高無過須彌,  大士無毗紐。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「廣無過於愛,  深無逾于腹,  高莫過憍慢,  大士無勝佛。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

於是,天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一二九一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 第七位天子又說偈語: 『被慾望所驅使,被戒律所束縛,勇猛地進行苦行,經歷了一百年,內心卻不得解脫,不能脫離塵垢,這樣的人是卑劣的,不能渡過彼岸。』 第八位天子又說偈語: 『內心充滿驕慢和慾望,不能自我調伏,不能獲得三昧禪定,不能得到牟尼的正受。獨自居住在山林,內心卻常常放縱,對於死魔的軍隊,不能渡過彼岸。』 當時,那八位山神天子各自讚嘆完畢,向佛陀的腳稽首,隨即消失不見。 (一二九〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,向佛陀的腳稽首,退坐在一旁。他的身體光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子說偈語: 『廣闊沒有超過大地的,深邃沒有超過大海的,高聳沒有超過須彌山的,偉大沒有超過毗紐的。』 這時,世尊說偈語回答: 『廣闊沒有超過愛慾的,深邃沒有超過腹部的,高聳沒有超過驕慢的,偉大沒有超過佛陀的。』 當時,那位天子又說偈語: 『很久才見到婆羅門,獲得般涅槃,一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越世間的恩愛。』 於是,天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,向佛陀的腳稽首,隨即消失不見。 (一二九一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

English version The seventh deva then spoke in verse: 'Driven by desire, bound by precepts, bravely practicing austerities, having spent a hundred years, their minds are not liberated, they do not depart from defilement, such are the base, they do not cross to the other shore.' The eighth deva then spoke in verse: 'With minds dwelling in arrogance and desire, unable to subdue themselves, unable to attain samadhi, the proper reception of the Muni, dwelling alone in the mountains, their minds are constantly unrestrained, from the army of death, they do not cross to the other shore.' Then, those eight mountain god devas, having each praised, bowed their heads to the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared. (1290) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, a deva of extraordinary beauty, in the latter part of the night, came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. His body's light illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, that deva spoke in verse: 'Nothing is wider than the earth, nothing is deeper than the sea, nothing is higher than Mount Sumeru, nothing is greater than Vishnu.' At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'Nothing is wider than desire, nothing is deeper than the belly, nothing is higher than arrogance, nothing is greater than the Buddha.' Then, that deva spoke in verse again: 'It has been long since seeing a Brahmin, having attained Parinirvana, all fears have passed, forever transcending worldly love and affection.' Thereupon, the deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was pleased, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared. (1291) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「何物火不燒?  何風不能吹?  水災壞大地,  何物不流散?  惡王及盜賊,  強劫人財物,  何男子女人,  不為其所奪?  云何珍寶藏,  終竟不亡失?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「福火所不燒,  福風不能吹,  水災壞大地,  福水不流散。  惡王及盜賊,  強奪人財寶,  若男子女人,  福不被劫奪。  樂報之寶藏,  終竟不亡失。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

於是,天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,即沒不現。

(一二九二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位容貌絕美的天子,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足,然後退到一旁坐下。他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀提問: 『什麼東西火燒不著?什麼風吹不動?水災能摧毀大地,什麼東西不會被衝散?惡王和盜賊,會強行搶奪別人的財物,什麼人,無論是男人還是女人,不會被他們奪走?什麼樣的珍寶,最終不會丟失?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『福德之火燒不著,福德之風吹不動,水災能摧毀大地,福德之水不會被衝散。惡王和盜賊,會強行搶奪別人的財寶,如果男人或女人有福德,就不會被他們搶奪。樂報的寶藏,最終不會丟失。』 當時,那位天子又用偈語說: 『我很久以前就見過婆羅門,他已經證得涅槃,一切恐懼都已消除,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 於是,天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,隨即消失不見。 (一二九二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位容貌絕美的天子,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足,然後退到一旁坐下。他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。

English version: At that time, there was a celestial being of exquisite appearance who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then withdrew to sit on one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove Anathapindika's Park. At that time, the celestial being asked the Buddha in verse: 'What is it that fire cannot burn? What wind cannot blow? Water disasters can destroy the earth, what is it that will not be scattered? Evil kings and thieves forcibly seize people's wealth, what man or woman will not be robbed by them? What kind of treasure will ultimately not be lost?' Then, the World Honored One answered in verse: 'The fire of merit cannot burn, the wind of merit cannot blow, water disasters can destroy the earth, the water of merit will not be scattered. Evil kings and thieves forcibly seize people's treasures, if a man or woman has merit, they will not be robbed. The treasure of joyful retribution will ultimately not be lost.' At that time, the celestial being again spoke in verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, all fear has been overcome, and he has forever transcended worldly love and affection.' Then, the celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, and then disappeared. (1292) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「誰當持資糧?  何物賊不劫?  何人劫而遮?  何人劫不遮?  何人常來詣,  智慧者喜樂?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「信者持資糧,  福德劫不奪,  賊劫奪則遮,  沙門奪歡喜,  沙門常來詣,  智慧者欣樂。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

於是,天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一二九三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有一天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「一切相映障,  知一切世間,  樂安慰一切,  唯愿世尊說,  云何是世間,  最為難得者?」

是時,世尊說偈答言:

「為主而行忍,  無財而欲施,  遭難而行法,  富貴修遠離,  如是四法者,  是則為最難。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

於是,天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀請教: 『誰能持有資糧?什麼東西不會被盜賊搶走? 什麼人搶奪後會加以遮掩?什麼人搶奪后不會遮掩? 什麼人經常前來拜訪,智者會感到喜悅?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『有信仰的人持有資糧,福德不會被搶奪。 盜賊搶奪後會加以遮掩,沙門搶奪會令人歡喜。 沙門經常前來拜訪,智者會感到欣喜。』 當時,那位天子又說偈語道: 『我很久才見到婆羅門,他已證得涅槃, 一切恐懼都已消除,永遠超越了世俗的恩愛。』 於是,天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀頂禮,隨即消失不見。

(一二九三)

我聽聞是這樣的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,退坐在一旁。他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀請教: 『一切事物相互映照遮蔽,您知曉一切世間, 樂於安慰一切眾生,唯愿世尊開示, 世間什麼是最難得到的?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『爲了主張而能忍耐,沒有財富卻想佈施, 遭遇困難還能奉行佛法,富貴時修習遠離, 像這樣的四種法,是最難做到的。』 當時,那位天子又說偈語道: 『我很久才見到婆羅門,他已證得涅槃, 一切恐懼都已消除,永遠超越了世俗的恩愛。』 於是,天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀頂禮,隨即消失不見。

English version At that time, the celestial being spoke in verse, asking the Buddha: 'Who holds the provisions? What is it that thieves cannot steal? Who, having stolen, conceals it? Who, having stolen, does not conceal it? Who comes often, and whom do the wise rejoice in?' Then, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'The faithful hold the provisions, merit cannot be stolen. Thieves, having stolen, conceal it; ascetics, having stolen, bring joy. Ascetics come often, and the wise are delighted.' At that time, the celestial being spoke again in verse: 'Long have I seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fear has passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love.' Then, the celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and paid homage at the Buddha's feet, and then vanished.

(1293)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, a celestial being, of exquisite beauty, came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, paid homage at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.

Then, the celestial being spoke in verse, asking the Buddha: 'All things reflect and obscure each other, you know all the world, You are happy to comfort all beings, may the World-Honored One explain, What is the most difficult thing to obtain in the world?' Then, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'To endure for the sake of principle, to desire to give without wealth, To practice the Dharma in the face of hardship, to cultivate detachment in wealth and honor, These four things are the most difficult to do.' At that time, the celestial being spoke again in verse: 'Long have I seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fear has passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love.' Then, the celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and paid homage at the Buddha's feet, and then vanished.

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

(一二九四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位天子,容貌極其美好,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首致敬,然後退坐在一旁。他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,那位天子以偈頌的形式向佛陀提問:

『擁有強大的力量和自在的快樂,所求的沒有得不到的,還有什麼能勝過這種狀態呢?一切想要的都具備了。』

這時,世尊用偈頌回答說:

『擁有強大的力量和自在的快樂,那是因為他們沒有所求。如果還有所求,那就是痛苦而不是快樂。對於那些已經超越了慾望的人來說,那才是真正的快樂。』

當時,那位天子又說偈頌道:

『我很久以前就見到婆羅門,他們已經證得涅槃,一切的恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』

於是,天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳稽首致敬,隨即消失不見。

(一二九五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位天子,容貌極其美好,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首致敬,然後退坐在一旁。他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。

The Miscellaneous Agama Sutra, Scroll 49

Translated by Tripitaka Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

(1294)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.

Then, a celestial being of extraordinary beauty came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.

At that time, the celestial being spoke a verse to ask the Buddha:

'With great power and freedom, enjoying happiness, there is nothing one cannot obtain. What could be superior to that, when all desires are fulfilled?'

Then, the World Honored One replied with a verse:

'With great power and freedom, they are without desires. If there is still desire, that is suffering, not happiness. For those who have transcended desire, that is true happiness.'

Then, the celestial being spoke another verse:

'Long have I seen the Brahmins, who have attained Nirvana, all fear has passed, and they have forever transcended worldly love and affection.'

Then, the celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared.

(1295)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti.

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「車從何處起?  誰能轉于車?  車轉至何所,  何故壞磨滅?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「車從諸業起,  心識能于車,  隨因而轉至,  因壞車則亡。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

於是,天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一二九六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子白佛言:「世尊!拘屢陀王女修波羅提沙今日生子。」

佛告天子:「此則不善,非是善。」

時,彼天子即說偈言:

「人生子為樂,  世間有子歡,  父母年老衰,  子則能奉養,  瞿曇何故說,  生子為不善。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「當知恒無常,  純空陰非子,  生子常得苦,  愚者說言樂。  是故我說言,  生子非為善,  非善為善像,  念像不可念。  實苦貌似樂,  放逸所踐蹈

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀發問: 『車子從哪裡開始?誰能轉動車輪? 車輪轉動到哪裡,又為何會損壞消滅?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『車子從各種業力產生,心識能夠轉動車輪, 隨著因緣而轉動,因緣壞滅車子也就消失。』 當時,那位天子又說偈語道: 『我久已見到婆羅門,已經證得涅槃, 一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越世間的恩愛。』 於是,天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。 (一二九六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。他的身體散發的光芒照遍了祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子對佛陀說:『世尊!拘屢陀王的女兒修波羅提沙今天生了孩子。』 佛陀告訴天子:『這並不好,不是好事。』 當時,那位天子就說偈語道: 『人生孩子是快樂的,世間有了孩子就歡喜, 父母年老衰弱,孩子就能奉養他們, 瞿曇為什麼說,生孩子是不好的呢?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『應當知道一切都是無常的,純粹是空無的五蘊並非是孩子, 生孩子常常會帶來痛苦,愚笨的人卻說這是快樂。 因此我說,生孩子不是好事, 不是好事卻像好事,這種想法不應該有。 實際上是痛苦卻貌似快樂,放縱的人才會去踐踏。』

English version At that time, that celestial being spoke a verse to ask the Buddha: 'From where does the chariot arise? Who can turn the chariot? Where does the chariot turn to, and why does it break and perish?' Then, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'The chariot arises from various karmas, the mind consciousness can turn the chariot, It turns according to conditions, and when the conditions break, the chariot disappears.' At that time, that celestial being spoke another verse: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fears have passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love and affection.' Then, the celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then vanished. (1296) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, a celestial being of extraordinary beauty came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that celestial being said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! Today, the daughter of King Kuruda, Suparatisya, has given birth to a child.' The Buddha told the celestial being: 'This is not good, it is not a good thing.' At that time, that celestial being spoke a verse: 'Having a child is a joy for people, the world rejoices when there is a child, When parents grow old and weak, the child can support them, Why does Gautama say that having a child is not good?' Then, the World Honored One replied with a verse: 'One should know that everything is impermanent, the five aggregates, which are purely empty, are not a child, Having a child often brings suffering, but the foolish say it is joy. Therefore, I say that having a child is not a good thing, It is not good but appears to be good, such a thought should not be held. It is actually suffering but appears to be joy, only the indulgent will tread upon it.'


。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

於是,天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一二九七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「云何數所數?  云何數不隱?  云何數中數?  云何說言說?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「佛法難測量,  二流不顯現,  若彼名及色,  滅盡悉無餘,  是名數所數,  彼數不隱藏,  是彼數中數,  是則說名數。」

時,彼天子復說偈言:

「久見婆羅門,  逮得般涅槃,  一切怖已過,  永超世恩愛。」

於時,天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一二九八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有天子容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位天子又說了偈語: 『我久已見到婆羅門,他已證得涅槃,一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 於是,天子聽聞佛所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀頂禮,隨即消失不見。

(一二九七)

我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位天子容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位天子說了偈語問佛: 『什麼叫做被數?什麼叫做數不隱藏?什麼叫做數中的數?什麼叫做言說?』 這時,世尊說了偈語回答: 『佛法難以測量,兩種流向不顯現,如果名和色,都滅盡無餘,這就叫做被數,那個數不隱藏,這就是數中的數,這就是所說的數。』 當時,那位天子又說了偈語: 『我久已見到婆羅門,他已證得涅槃,一切恐懼都已過去,永遠超越了世間的恩愛。』 當時,天子聽聞佛所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀頂禮,隨即消失不見。

English version Then, that Deva spoke in verse again: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, all fear has passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love.' Thereupon, the Deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then vanished.

(1297)

Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. Then, a Deva of exquisite beauty came to the Buddha in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, that Deva spoke in verse, asking the Buddha: 'What is that which is counted? What is that which is not hidden in counting? What is the count within the count? What is called speech?' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke in verse, answering: 'The Dharma of the Buddha is difficult to measure, the two streams do not appear, if name and form are extinguished without remainder, this is called that which is counted, that count is not hidden, this is the count within the count, this is what is called count.' Then, that Deva spoke in verse again: 'I have long seen the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, all fear has passed, and he has forever transcended worldly love.' Then, the Deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then vanished.

  時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「何物重於地?  何物高於空?  何物疾于風?  何物多於草?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「戒德重於地,  慢高於虛空,  憶念疾于風,  思想多於草。」

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「何戒何威儀?  何得何為業?  慧者云何住?  云何往生天?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「遠離於殺生,  持戒自防樂,  害心不加生,  是則生天路。  遠離不與取,  與取心欣樂,  斷除賊盜心,  是則生天路。  不行他所受,  遠離於邪淫,  自受知止足,  是則生天路。  自為己及他,  為財及戲笑,  妄語而不為,  是則生天路。  斷除于兩舌,  不離他親友,  常念和彼此,  是則生天路。  遠離不愛言,  軟語不傷人,  常說淳美言,  是則生天路。  不為不誠說,  無義不饒益,  常順於法言,  是則生天路。  聚落若空地,  見利言我有,  不行此貪想,  是則生天路。  慈心無害想,  不害於眾生,  心常無怨結,  是則生天路。  苦業及果報,  二俱生凈信,  受持于正見,  是則生天路。  如是諸善法,  十種凈業跡,  等受堅固持,  是則生天路。」

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,釋提桓因於后夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園

現代漢語譯本:

當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀請教:

『什麼東西比大地更重?什麼東西比天空更高? 什麼東西比風更快?什麼東西比草更多?』

這時,世尊用偈語回答說:

『戒律的德行比大地更重,傲慢比虛空更高, 憶念比風更快,思想比草更多。』

當時,那位天子又說偈語道:

『我很久以前就見到了婆羅門,他已經證得了涅槃, 一切的恐懼都已消除,永遠超越了世俗的恩愛。』

於是,天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。

當時,一位天子容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀的住所,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀請教:

『持守什麼戒律和威儀?獲得什麼成就?做什麼樣的行為? 有智慧的人如何安住?如何才能往生天界?』

這時,世尊用偈語回答說:

『遠離殺生,持守戒律,自我防護,享受快樂, 不加害於眾生,這就是通往天界的道路。 遠離不予而取,對於給予和獲取感到欣喜, 斷除偷盜之心,這就是通往天界的道路。 不接受他人所受之物,遠離邪淫, 對於自己所受感到知足,這就是通往天界的道路。 爲了自己和他人,爲了財富和嬉笑, 不妄語,這就是通往天界的道路。 斷除兩舌,不離間他人的親友, 常常想著彼此和睦,這就是通往天界的道路。 遠離不愛聽的話,用柔和的語言不傷害他人, 常常說純美的話,這就是通往天界的道路。 不說不真實的話,不說沒有意義和利益的話, 常常順應佛法而言,這就是通往天界的道路。 在村落或空地,看到利益就說這是我的, 不行此貪婪之想,這就是通往天界的道路。 慈悲之心沒有害人之想,不傷害眾生, 心中常常沒有怨恨,這就是通往天界的道路。 對於苦業和果報,都生起清凈的信心, 受持正見,這就是通往天界的道路。 像這樣的諸善法,十種清凈的業跡, 平等受持並堅固地奉行,這就是通往天界的道路。』

English version:

At that time, the celestial being spoke in verse, asking the Buddha:

'What is heavier than the earth? What is higher than the sky? What is faster than the wind? What is more numerous than grass?'

Then, the World-Honored One replied in verse:

'The virtue of precepts is heavier than the earth, arrogance is higher than the void, Mindfulness is faster than the wind, thoughts are more numerous than grass.'

At that time, the celestial being again spoke in verse:

'Long ago I saw the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fear has been overcome, forever transcending worldly love.'

Then, the celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared.

(1299)

At that time, the celestial being spoke in verse, asking the Buddha:

'What precepts and conduct should one uphold? What attainment should one achieve? What actions should one perform? How does the wise one dwell? How does one attain rebirth in heaven?'

Then, the World-Honored One replied in verse:

'Abstaining from killing, upholding precepts, protecting oneself, enjoying happiness, Not harming living beings, this is the path to heaven. Abstaining from taking what is not given, rejoicing in giving and receiving, Eliminating the mind of theft, this is the path to heaven. Not accepting what belongs to others, abstaining from sexual misconduct, Being content with what one has, this is the path to heaven. For oneself and others, for wealth and amusement, Not speaking falsely, this is the path to heaven. Eliminating divisive speech, not separating friends, Always thinking of harmony with each other, this is the path to heaven. Abstaining from unpleasant words, using gentle language that does not harm others, Always speaking pure and beautiful words, this is the path to heaven. Not speaking untruthfully, not speaking without meaning or benefit, Always speaking in accordance with the Dharma, this is the path to heaven. In villages or empty places, seeing profit and saying 'this is mine', Not engaging in such greedy thoughts, this is the path to heaven. Having a compassionate heart without thoughts of harm, not harming living beings, In the heart always without resentment, this is the path to heaven. For both suffering karma and its results, generating pure faith, Upholding right view, this is the path to heaven. Such are the virtuous dharmas, the ten pure karmic traces, Equally upholding and firmly practicing them, this is the path to heaven.'

At that time, the celestial being again spoke in verse:

'Long ago I saw the Brahmin, who has attained Nirvana, All fear has been overcome, forever transcending worldly love.'

Then, the celestial being, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared.

時,釋提桓因說偈問佛:

「何法命不知?  何法命不覺?  何法鎖于命?  何法為命縛?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「色者命不知,  諸行命不覺,  身鎖于其命,  受縛于命者。」

釋提桓因復說偈言:

「色者非為命,  諸佛之所說,  云何而得熟?  于彼甚深藏,  云何段肉住?  云何知命身?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「迦羅邏為初,  迦羅邏生胞,  胞生於肉段,  肉段生堅厚,  堅厚生肢節,  及諸毛髮等,  色等諸情根,  漸次成形體,  因母飲食等,  長養彼胎身。」

現代漢語譯本 當時,釋提桓因用偈語問佛: 『什麼法是生命所不知的?什麼法是生命所不覺的? 什麼法束縛著生命?什麼法是生命的枷鎖?』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『色是生命所不知的,諸行是生命所不覺的, 身體束縛著生命,感受是生命的枷鎖。』 釋提桓因又用偈語說: 『色不是生命,這是諸佛所說的, 如何才能成熟?在那甚深的藏處, 如何使肉塊存在?如何知道生命在身體中?』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『最初是羯羅藍,羯羅藍生出胞, 胞生出肉塊,肉塊生出堅硬的組織, 堅硬的組織生出肢節,以及毛髮等, 色等諸情根,逐漸形成形體, 依靠母親的飲食等,長養那個胎兒的身體。』 當時,釋提桓因聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。 (一三〇一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫長勝的天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛的住所,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位長勝天子用偈語說: 『善於學習微妙的教說,親近各位沙門, 獨一無二,沒有同伴,正思惟,保持靜默。』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『善於學習微妙的教說,親近各位沙門, 獨一無二,沒有同伴,寂靜,使諸根平靜。』 當時,長勝天子聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。 (一三〇二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫尸毗的天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛的住所,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位尸毗天子用偈語問佛: 『應該和什麼樣的人同住?應該和什麼樣的人共事? 應該知道什麼樣的法,是轉為殊勝而非惡的?』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『與正直的人同住,與正直的人共事, 應該知道正直的人的法,是轉為殊勝而非惡的。』 當時,那位尸毗天子聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。 (一三〇三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫月自在的天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛的住所,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,那位月自在天子用偈語說: 『他將達到究竟,如同蚊子依附於草, 如果能夠正確地繫念,一心善於正受。』

English version Then, Śakra, lord of the gods, asked the Buddha in verse: 'What is it that life does not know? What is it that life does not perceive? What binds life? What is the fetter of life?' At that time, the World-Honored One answered in verse: 'Form is what life does not know, actions are what life does not perceive, The body binds life, and feeling is the fetter of life.' Śakra, lord of the gods, again spoke in verse: 'Form is not life, as the Buddhas have said, How does it mature? In that deep hidden place, How does the lump of flesh exist? How does one know life in the body?' At that time, the World-Honored One answered in verse: 'First is the kalala, the kalala gives rise to the vesicle, The vesicle gives rise to the lump of flesh, the lump of flesh gives rise to solid tissue, The solid tissue gives rise to limbs, and hair, etc., The sense organs such as form, gradually form the body, Relying on the mother's food, etc., the fetus's body is nourished.' At that time, Śakra, lord of the gods, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1301) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Śrāvastī. At that time, there was a deva named Long-Victorious, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that deva Long-Victorious spoke in verse: 'Well-learned in the subtle teachings, close to the various śramaṇas, Unique and without equal, rightly contemplating, remaining silent.' At that time, the World-Honored One answered in verse: 'Well-learned in the subtle teachings, close to the various śramaṇas, Unique and without equal, silent, calming the senses.' At that time, the deva Long-Victorious, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1302) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Śrāvastī. At that time, there was a deva named Śibi, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that deva Śibi asked the Buddha in verse: 'With whom should one dwell? With whom should one work? What kind of dharma should one know, that is transformative for the better and not for the worse?' At that time, the World-Honored One answered in verse: 'Dwell with the righteous, work with the righteous, One should know the dharma of the righteous, which is transformative for the better and not for the worse.' At that time, that deva Śibi, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1303) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Śrāvastī. At that time, there was a deva named Moon-Free, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that deva Moon-Free spoke in verse: 'He will reach the ultimate, like a mosquito clinging to grass, If one can rightly maintain mindfulness, with one mind, well-received.'

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「彼當到彼岸,  如魚決其網,  禪定具足住,  心常致喜樂。」

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有須深天子與五百眷屬,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,世尊告尊者阿難:「汝何難於尊者舍利弗善說法,心喜樂不?」阿難白佛:「如是,世尊!何等人不愚、不癡、有智慧,于尊者舍利弗善說法中,心不欣樂。所以者何?彼尊者舍利弗持戒多聞,少欲知足,精勤遠離,正念堅住,智慧正受,捷疾智慧、利智慧、出離智慧、決定智慧、大智慧、廣智慧、深智慧、無等智慧,智寶成就,善能教化,示、教、照、喜,亦常讚歎示、教、照、喜,常為四眾說法不惓。」

佛告阿難:「如是,如是,如汝所說

現代漢語譯本 當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『他將到達彼岸,如同魚兒掙脫漁網,', 『禪定具足安住,內心常懷喜樂。』 當時,那位月自在天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀頂禮,隨即消失不見。

(一三〇四)

我聽聞是這樣的:

一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,有一位毗瘦紐天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,向佛陀頂禮,然後退坐在一旁。他身上的光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

當時,那位毗瘦紐天子說了偈語: 『供養如來,歡喜常增長,', 『欣樂正法,不放逸地隨順修學。』

當時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『如果這樣說法,防護不放逸,', 『因為不放逸的緣故,就不會被魔所自在。』

於是,毗瘦紐天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀頂禮,隨即消失不見。

當時,世尊告訴尊者阿難:『你對於尊者舍利弗善於說法感到困難嗎?內心喜悅嗎?』阿難回答佛陀:『是的,世尊!什麼樣不愚癡、有智慧的人,對於尊者舍利弗善於說法,內心不會欣喜呢?這是因為,那位尊者舍利弗持戒多聞,少欲知足,精勤遠離,正念堅固,智慧正受,具有敏捷的智慧、銳利的智慧、出離的智慧、決定的智慧、廣大的智慧、深遠的智慧、無與倫比的智慧,成就了智慧之寶,善於教化,開示、教導、照亮、歡喜,也常常讚歎開示、教導、照亮、歡喜,常常為四眾說法而不疲倦。』

佛陀告訴阿難:『是的,是的,正如你所說。』

English version Then, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'He will reach the other shore, like a fish breaking free from the net,' 'Dwelling in perfect meditation, his mind always filled with joy.' Then, that Moon Free Deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared.

(1304)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, there was a Vishnu Deva, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.

Then, that Vishnu Deva spoke in verse: 'Offering to the Tathagata, joy constantly increases,' 'Delighting in the true Dharma, diligently following the practice without negligence.'

Then, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'If one speaks in this way, guarding against negligence,' 'Because of non-negligence, one will not be under the control of Mara.'

Thereupon, Vishnu Deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared.

(1305)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, there was a Panchala Gandha Deva, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.

Then, Panchala Gandha Deva spoke in verse: 'In places of confusion, the wise can perceive,' 'Meditative thought perceives what is perceived, the Muni has the power of contemplation.'

Then, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'Knowing the nature of confusion, one correctly awakens to Nirvana,' 'If one can correctly establish mindfulness, one is skilled in right concentration with a single mind.'

Then, Panchala Gandha Deva, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and immediately disappeared.

(1306)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.

At that time, there was a Sushima Deva with five hundred attendants, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from their bodies illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park.

Then, the World Honored One said to the Venerable Ananda, 'Do you find it difficult that the Venerable Shariputra is skilled in teaching the Dharma? Is your heart joyful?' Ananda replied to the Buddha, 'Yes, World Honored One! What kind of person who is not foolish, not ignorant, and has wisdom, would not rejoice in their heart at the Venerable Shariputra's skill in teaching the Dharma? This is because that Venerable Shariputra is virtuous, learned, has few desires, is content, diligently practices detachment, has firm mindfulness, has right concentration of wisdom, possesses quick wisdom, sharp wisdom, wisdom of detachment, decisive wisdom, great wisdom, vast wisdom, profound wisdom, incomparable wisdom, has achieved the treasure of wisdom, is skilled in teaching, showing, instructing, illuminating, and delighting, and also often praises showing, instructing, illuminating, and delighting, and constantly teaches the Dharma to the four assemblies without weariness.'

The Buddha said to Ananda, 'So it is, so it is, just as you have said.'


。阿難!為何等人不愚、不癡、有智慧,聞尊者舍利弗善說諸法而不歡喜?所以者何?舍利弗比丘持戒多聞,少欲知足,精勤正念,智慧正受,超智、捷智、利智、出智、決定智、大智、廣智、深智、無等智,智寶成就,善能教化,示、教、照、喜,亦常讚歎示、教、照、喜,常為四眾說法不惓。」

世尊如是如是向尊者阿難,如是如是稱歎舍利弗所說,如是如是須深天子眷屬內心歡喜,身光增明,清凈照耀。

爾時,須深天子內懷歡喜,發身凈光照耀已,而說偈言:

「舍利弗多聞,  明智平等慧,  持戒善調伏,  得不起涅槃,  持此後邊身,  降伏于魔軍。」

時,彼須深天子及五百眷屬聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一三〇七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有赤馬天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼赤馬天子白佛言:「世尊!頗有能行過世界邊,至不生、不老、不死處不?」

佛告赤馬:「無有能過世界邊,至不生、不老、不死處者。」

赤馬天子白佛言:「奇哉!世尊!善說斯義。如世尊說言:『無過世界邊,至不生、不老、不死處者。』所以者何?世尊!我自憶宿命,名曰赤馬,作外道仙人,得神通,離諸愛慾。我時,作是念:『我有如是捷疾神足,如健士夫,以利箭橫射過多羅樹影之頃,能登一須彌,至一須彌,足躡東海,超至西海。』我時,作是念:『我今成就如是捷疾神力,今日寧可求世界邊。』作是念已,即便發行,唯除食息便利,減節睡眠,常行百歲,于彼命終,竟不能得過世界邊,至不生、不老、不死之處。」

佛告赤馬:「我今但以一尋之身,說於世界、世界集、世界滅、世界滅道跡。赤馬天子!何等為世間?謂五受陰。何等為五?色受陰、受受陰、想受陰、行受陰、識受陰,是名世間。何等為色集?謂當來有愛,貪、喜俱,彼彼染著,是名世間集。云何為世間滅?若彼當來有愛,貪、喜俱,彼彼染著無餘斷、舍、離、盡、無慾、滅、息、沒,是名世間滅

現代漢語譯本:阿難!為什麼有些人不愚笨、不癡迷、有智慧,聽到尊者舍利弗善於講解佛法卻不歡喜呢?這是什麼原因呢?舍利弗比丘持戒嚴謹,博學多聞,少欲知足,精進勤勉,正念分明,智慧正定,擁有超凡的智慧、敏捷的智慧、銳利的智慧、卓越的智慧、決斷的智慧、廣大的智慧、深邃的智慧、無與倫比的智慧,成就了智慧的寶藏,善於教化眾生,以開示、教導、啓發、歡喜的方式引導他們,也常常讚歎開示、教導、啓發、歡喜的功德,經常為四眾弟子說法而不感到疲倦。 世尊就這樣一遍又一遍地向尊者阿難稱讚舍利弗的功德,須深天子及其眷屬內心也因此一遍又一遍地感到歡喜,身上的光芒更加明亮,清凈照耀。 這時,須深天子內心充滿歡喜,身上發出清凈的光芒照耀之後,便說偈頌道: 『舍利弗博學多聞,明智且具平等慧,持戒嚴謹,善於調伏自身,證得不生不滅的涅槃,以這最後的色身,降伏了魔軍。』 當時,須深天子及其五百眷屬聽到佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。 (一三〇七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫赤馬的天子,容貌極其俊美,在後半夜來到佛陀的住所,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。他的身體散發出光明,照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 這時,赤馬天子對佛陀說:『世尊!是否有人能夠超越世界的邊際,到達不生、不老、不死的地方呢?』 佛陀告訴赤馬:『沒有人能夠超越世界的邊際,到達不生、不老、不死的地方。』 赤馬天子對佛陀說:『真是奇妙啊,世尊!您說得太好了。正如世尊所說,『沒有人能夠超越世界的邊際,到達不生、不老、不死的地方。』這是什麼原因呢?世尊!我記得自己的前世,名叫赤馬,是一位外道仙人,獲得了神通,遠離了各種慾望。當時,我這樣想:『我擁有如此迅捷的神足,就像健壯的男子,用利箭橫射,在多羅樹影移動的瞬間,就能登上須彌山,從一座須彌山到另一座須彌山,腳踏東海,超越到西海。』當時,我這樣想:『我現在成就瞭如此迅捷的神力,今天應該可以去尋找世界的邊際。』這樣想之後,我便開始出發,除了吃飯、休息、大小便之外,減少睡眠,持續行走了一百年,最終還是沒有能夠超越世界的邊際,到達不生、不老、不死的地方。』 佛陀告訴赤馬:『我現在只是以這一尋之身,講述世界、世界的集起、世界的滅盡、以及通往世界滅盡的道路。赤馬天子!什麼是世間呢?就是五受陰。哪五種呢?色受陰、受受陰、想受陰、行受陰、識受陰,這稱為世間。什麼是色集呢?就是未來的有愛,與貪慾、喜悅相伴,對各種事物產生執著,這稱為世間集。什麼是世間滅呢?如果未來的有愛,與貪慾、喜悅相伴,對各種事物的執著完全斷除、捨棄、遠離、滅盡、無慾、寂滅、止息、消失,這稱為世間滅。

English version: 'Ananda! Why is it that some people are not foolish, not deluded, and have wisdom, yet they do not rejoice when they hear the Venerable Sariputra skillfully explain the Dharma? What is the reason for this? The Bhikkhu Sariputra is disciplined in precepts, learned in the scriptures, content with little, diligent in practice, mindful, wise in concentration, possessing transcendent wisdom, quick wisdom, sharp wisdom, outstanding wisdom, decisive wisdom, great wisdom, vast wisdom, profound wisdom, and incomparable wisdom. He has achieved the treasure of wisdom, is skilled in teaching, guiding, illuminating, and gladdening others. He also often praises the virtues of teaching, guiding, illuminating, and gladdening, and he constantly preaches the Dharma to the four assemblies without weariness.' The Blessed One thus repeatedly praised Sariputra to the Venerable Ananda, and the Deva Susima and his retinue repeatedly rejoiced in their hearts, their bodies shining with increased brightness and purity. Then, Deva Susima, filled with joy, emitted a pure light from his body and spoke these verses: 'Sariputra is learned, wise, and possesses equal wisdom. He is disciplined in precepts, well-subdued, and has attained the unarising Nirvana. With this final body, he has subdued the army of Mara.' At that time, Deva Susima and his five hundred attendants, hearing what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and applauded, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1307) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. Then, a Deva named Red Horse, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, came to the Buddha's dwelling in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. His body emitted light that illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, the Deva Red Horse said to the Buddha: 'Venerable Sir, is there anyone who can travel beyond the edge of the world and reach the place of non-birth, non-aging, and non-death?' The Buddha told Red Horse: 'There is no one who can travel beyond the edge of the world and reach the place of non-birth, non-aging, and non-death.' The Deva Red Horse said to the Buddha: 'How wonderful, Venerable Sir! You have spoken well. As the Venerable Sir has said, 『There is no one who can travel beyond the edge of the world and reach the place of non-birth, non-aging, and non-death.』 What is the reason for this? Venerable Sir, I remember my past life, named Red Horse, as a non-Buddhist ascetic who had attained supernatural powers and was free from all desires. At that time, I thought: 『I have such swift supernatural feet that, like a strong man shooting an arrow across the shadow of a palm tree, I can climb one Mount Sumeru to another, step on the Eastern Sea, and cross to the Western Sea.』 At that time, I thought: 『Now that I have achieved such swift supernatural power, today I should seek the edge of the world.』 Having thought this, I set out, and except for eating, resting, and relieving myself, I reduced my sleep and walked continuously for a hundred years. In the end, I was unable to travel beyond the edge of the world and reach the place of non-birth, non-aging, and non-death.』 The Buddha told Red Horse: 'Now, with this fathom-long body, I speak of the world, the arising of the world, the cessation of the world, and the path leading to the cessation of the world. Deva Red Horse, what is the world? It is the five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? The aggregate of form, the aggregate of feeling, the aggregate of perception, the aggregate of mental formations, and the aggregate of consciousness. This is called the world. What is the arising of form? It is future craving, accompanied by greed and delight, clinging to various things. This is called the arising of the world. What is the cessation of the world? If that future craving, accompanied by greed and delight, clinging to various things, is completely abandoned, relinquished, detached, extinguished, without desire, ceased, pacified, and disappeared, this is called the cessation of the world.'

。何等為世間滅道跡?謂八聖道,正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,是名世間滅道跡。

「赤馬!了知世間,斷世間;了知世間集,斷世間集;了知世間滅,證世間滅;了知世間滅道跡,修彼滅道跡。赤馬!若比丘於世間苦若知、若斷,世間集若知、若斷,世間滅若知、若證,世間滅道跡若知、若修。赤馬!是名得世界邊,度世間愛。」

爾時,世尊重說偈言:

「未曾遠遊行,  而得世界邊,  無得世界邊,  終不盡苦邊。  以是故牟尼,  能知世界邊,  善解世界邊,  諸梵行已立。  于彼世界邊,  平等覺知者,  是名賢聖行,  度世間彼岸。」

是時,赤馬天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一三〇八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城毗富羅山側。有六天子,本為外道出家,一名阿毗浮、二名增上阿毗浮、三名能求、四名毗藍婆、五名阿俱吒、六名迦藍,來詣佛所。

阿毗浮天子即說偈言:

「比丘專至心,  常修行厭離,  于初夜后夜,  思惟善自攝,  見聞其所說,  不墮于地獄。」

增上阿毗浮天子復說偈言:

「厭離於黑闇,  心常自攝護,  永離於世間,  言語諍論法。  從如來大師,  稟受沙門法,  善攝護世間,  不令造眾惡。」

能求天子復說偈言:

「斷截椎打殺,  供養施迦葉,  不見其為惡,  亦不見為福。」

毗藍婆天子復說偈言:

「我說彼尼干,  外道若提子,  出家行學道,  長夜修難行。  于大師徒眾,  遠離於妄語,  我說如是人,  不遠於羅漢。」

爾時世尊說偈答言:

「死瘦之野狐,  常共師子游,  終日小羸劣,  不能為師子。  尼干大師眾,  虛妄自稱歎,  是噁心妄語,  去羅漢甚遠。」

爾時天魔波旬著阿俱吒天子而說偈言:

「精勤棄闇冥,  常守護遠離,  深著微妙色,  貪樂於梵世。  我教化斯等,  令得生梵天

現代漢語譯本:什麼是世間滅道的途徑?就是指八聖道,即正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定,這被稱為世間滅道的途徑。 『赤馬!瞭解世間,斷除世間;瞭解世間集,斷除世間集;瞭解世間滅,證得世間滅;瞭解世間滅道跡,修習那滅道跡。赤馬!如果比丘對於世間苦有所知、有所斷,對於世間集有所知、有所斷,對於世間滅有所知、有所證,對於世間滅道跡有所知、有所修。赤馬!這被稱為到達世界的邊際,度脫世間的愛慾。』 當時,世尊又說了偈語: 『不曾遠離,卻能到達世界的邊際, 沒有到達世界的邊際,終究不能盡除苦的邊際。 因此牟尼,能夠了解世界的邊際, 善於理解世界的邊際,諸梵行已經建立。 對於那世界的邊際,平等覺知的人, 這被稱為賢聖的修行,度脫世間的彼岸。』 當時,赤馬天子聽聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,向佛稽首,隨即消失不見。 (一三〇八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城毗富羅山側。有六位天子,原本是外道出家,一名阿毗浮、二名增上阿毗浮、三名能求、四名毗藍婆、五名阿俱吒、六名迦藍,來到佛的住所。 阿毗浮天子隨即說了偈語: 『比丘專心致志,常常修行厭離, 在初夜和后夜,思惟善於自我約束, 見聞所說,不墮入地獄。』 增上阿毗浮天子又說了偈語: 『厭離於黑暗,內心常常自我守護, 永遠遠離世間,言語爭論之法。 從如來大師,稟受沙門之法, 善於守護世間,不令造作眾惡。』 能求天子又說了偈語: 『斷截椎打殺,供養施迦葉, 不見其為惡,也不見其為福。』 毗藍婆天子又說了偈語: 『我說那些尼乾子,外道若提子, 出家修行學道,長夜修習難行。 對於大師的徒眾,遠離虛妄之語, 我說這樣的人,離羅漢不遠。』 當時世尊說了偈語回答: 『死瘦的野狐,常常與獅子同行, 終日弱小無力,不能成為獅子。 尼干大師的徒眾,虛妄地自我稱讚, 這是噁心妄語,離羅漢很遠。』 當時天魔波旬附身於阿俱吒天子而說了偈語: 『精勤捨棄黑暗,常常守護遠離, 深深執著于微妙的色慾,貪戀于梵天世界。 我教化這些人,令他們得生梵天。』

English version: What is the path to the cessation of the world? It is the Noble Eightfold Path, namely right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. This is called the path to the cessation of the world. 'Red Horse! Understand the world, abandon the world; understand the origin of the world, abandon the origin of the world; understand the cessation of the world, realize the cessation of the world; understand the path to the cessation of the world, cultivate that path to the cessation. Red Horse! If a bhikkhu understands and abandons the suffering of the world, understands and abandons the origin of the world, understands and realizes the cessation of the world, and understands and cultivates the path to the cessation of the world. Red Horse! This is called reaching the edge of the world, crossing over the love of the world.' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 'Without going far, one can reach the edge of the world, Without reaching the edge of the world, one cannot ultimately end the edge of suffering. Therefore, the Muni can understand the edge of the world, Well understanding the edge of the world, all the holy practices are established. For those who equally understand the edge of the world, This is called the practice of the wise and noble, crossing over to the other shore of the world.' At that time, the deva Red Horse, hearing what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1308) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on the side of Mount Vipula in Rajagaha. There were six devas, who had originally been ascetics of other paths, named Abhibhu, Uppanna-Abhibhu, Nandana, Vilamba, Akuta, and Kala, who came to the Buddha's dwelling. The deva Abhibhu then spoke these verses: 'A bhikkhu with focused mind, constantly practices renunciation, In the first and last watches of the night, contemplates and is well self-controlled, Seeing and hearing what is said, does not fall into hell.' The deva Uppanna-Abhibhu again spoke these verses: 'Renouncing darkness, the mind is always self-protected, Forever abandoning the world, the law of speech and debate. From the Tathagata, the great teacher, receiving the ascetic's law, Well protecting the world, not allowing the creation of many evils.' The deva Nandana again spoke these verses: 'Cutting, striking, and killing, offering to Kasyapa, Not seeing it as evil, nor seeing it as merit.' The deva Vilamba again spoke these verses: 'I say that those Niganthas, the ascetics of other paths, Leaving home to practice the path, for long nights practice difficult austerities. For the disciples of the great teacher, abandoning false speech, I say that such people are not far from an Arhat.' At that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses in reply: 'A dead, thin fox, often walks with a lion, All day weak and feeble, cannot become a lion. The disciples of the Nigantha teacher, falsely praise themselves, This is an evil-minded lie, far from an Arhat.' At that time, the Mara, the Evil One, possessed the deva Akuta and spoke these verses: 'Diligently abandoning darkness, constantly protecting and staying away, Deeply attached to subtle forms, craving the Brahma world. I teach these people, causing them to be born in the Brahma heaven.'

爾時,世尊作是念:「若此阿俱吒天子所說偈,此是天魔波旬加其力故,非彼阿俱吒天子自心所說,作是說言:

「『精勤棄闇冥,  守護于遠離,   深著微妙色,  貪樂於梵世。』   當教化斯等,  令得生梵天。」

爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「若諸所有色,  於此及與彼,  或復虛空中,  各別光照耀。  當知彼一切,  不離魔魔縛,  猶如垂鉤餌,  鉤釣于游魚。」

時,彼天子咸各念言:「今日阿俱吒天子所說偈,沙門瞿曇言是魔所說。何故沙門瞿曇言是魔說?」

爾時,世尊知諸天子心中所念,而告之言:「今阿俱吒天子所說偈,非彼天子自心所說,時魔波旬加其力故。」作是說言:

「精勤棄闇冥,  守護于遠離,  深著微妙色,  貪樂於梵天。  當教化斯等,  令得生梵天。  是故我說偈:

「『若諸所有色,  於此及與彼,   或復虛空中,  各別光照耀。   當知彼一切,  不離魔魔縛,   猶如垂鉤餌,  鉤釣于游魚。』」

時,諸天子復作是念:「奇哉!沙門瞿曇!神力大德,能見天魔波旬,而我等不見,我等當復各各說偈讚歎沙門瞿曇。」即說偈言:

「斷除於一切,  有身愛貪想,  令此善護者,  除一切妄語。  若欲斷欲愛,  應供養大師。  斷除三有愛,  破壞於妄語。  已斷于見貪,  應供養大師。  王舍城第一,  名毗富羅山。  雪山諸山最,  金翅鳥中名。  八方及上下,  一切眾生界,  于諸天人中,  等正覺最上。」

時,諸天子說偈贊佛已,聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有摩伽天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有摩伽天子說偈問佛:

「殺何得安眠?  殺何得善樂?  為殺何等人,  瞿曇所讚歎?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「若殺于瞋恚,  而得安隱眠,  殺于瞋恚者,  令人得歡喜

現代漢語譯本:當時,世尊心中想:『如果這位阿俱吒天子所說的偈頌,是天魔波旬加持他的力量所致,而不是阿俱吒天子自己心中所想,他這樣說:』 『精勤地捨棄黑暗,守護遠離之處,深深地執著于微妙的色相,貪戀于梵天世界。』應當教化這些人,使他們能夠往生到梵天。』 當時,世尊又說偈頌道: 『所有一切的色相,無論是在這裡還是在那裡,或者是在虛空中,各自散發著光芒。應當知道這一切,都無法脫離魔的束縛,就像垂下的魚餌,用來鉤釣遊動的魚一樣。』 當時,那些天子都各自想著:『今天阿俱吒天子所說的偈頌,沙門瞿曇卻說是魔所說的。為什麼沙門瞿曇說是魔所說的呢?』 當時,世尊知道眾天子心中所想,就告訴他們說:『現在阿俱吒天子所說的偈頌,不是他自己心中所想,而是魔波旬加持他的力量所致。』他這樣說: 『精勤地捨棄黑暗,守護遠離之處,深深地執著于微妙的色相,貪戀于梵天。應當教化這些人,使他們能夠往生到梵天。』所以我說偈頌: 『所有一切的色相,無論是在這裡還是在那裡,或者是在虛空中,各自散發著光芒。應當知道這一切,都無法脫離魔的束縛,就像垂下的魚餌,用來鉤釣遊動的魚一樣。』 當時,眾天子又這樣想:『真是奇特啊!沙門瞿曇!神力廣大,能看見天魔波旬,而我們卻看不見。我們應當各自說偈讚歎沙門瞿曇。』於是他們說偈道: 『斷除一切對有身的愛慾和貪念,使這位善於守護的人,去除一切虛妄的言語。如果想要斷除欲愛,應當供養大師。斷除三有之愛,破除虛妄的言語。已經斷除見解上的貪慾,應當供養大師。王舍城第一,名為毗富羅山。雪山是諸山之最,金翅鳥是鳥中之王。八方上下,一切眾生界,在諸天人之中,等正覺最為至上。』 當時,眾天子說完偈頌讚嘆佛陀后,聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,頂禮佛足,隨即消失不見。 (一三〇九) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位摩伽天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,摩伽天子說偈問佛: 『殺掉什麼才能安眠?殺掉什麼才能得到快樂?殺掉什麼樣的人,是瞿曇所讚歎的?』 當時,世尊說偈回答說: 『如果殺掉嗔恚,就能安穩入睡,殺掉嗔恚的人,能使人感到歡喜。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One thought: 'If the verses spoken by this Akuta Deva are due to the power of the demon Mara Papiyas, and not from Akuta Deva's own mind, he says this:' 'Diligently abandon darkness, guard against remoteness, deeply attached to subtle forms, and greedy for the Brahma world.' These people should be taught so that they can be reborn in the Brahma heaven.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke another verse: 'All forms, whether here or there, or in the empty space, each shines with its own light. Know that all of them cannot escape the bonds of Mara, like a baited hook used to catch swimming fish.' At that time, the devas all thought: 'Today, the verses spoken by Akuta Deva, the Shramana Gautama says are spoken by Mara. Why does the Shramana Gautama say they are spoken by Mara?' At that time, the World Honored One, knowing what the devas were thinking, told them: 'The verses spoken by Akuta Deva now are not from his own mind, but due to the power of the demon Mara Papiyas.' He says this: 'Diligently abandon darkness, guard against remoteness, deeply attached to subtle forms, and greedy for the Brahma heaven. These people should be taught so that they can be reborn in the Brahma heaven.' Therefore, I speak this verse: 'All forms, whether here or there, or in the empty space, each shines with its own light. Know that all of them cannot escape the bonds of Mara, like a baited hook used to catch swimming fish.' At that time, the devas thought again: 'How wonderful! Shramana Gautama! With great spiritual power, he can see the demon Mara Papiyas, but we cannot. We should each speak verses to praise Shramana Gautama.' Then they spoke these verses: 'Cutting off all love and greed for the body, let this good protector remove all false speech. If you want to cut off desire, you should make offerings to the master. Cutting off the love of the three realms, destroying false speech. Having cut off the greed of views, you should make offerings to the master. The first in Rajagriha is Mount Vipula. The Himalayas are the greatest of all mountains, and the Garuda is the king of birds. In the eight directions and above and below, in all realms of sentient beings, among all devas and humans, the Fully Enlightened One is the most supreme.' At that time, after the devas had spoken verses praising the Buddha, they heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1309) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti. At that time, there was a Magha Deva, with an exceptionally beautiful appearance, who came to the Buddha's place in the latter part of the night, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park. At that time, Magha Deva spoke a verse to ask the Buddha: 'By killing what does one sleep peacefully? By killing what does one obtain happiness? What kind of person is it that Gautama praises for killing?' At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse in reply: 'If one kills anger, one can sleep peacefully. The one who kills anger brings joy to others.'

時,彌耆迦天子說偈問佛:

「明照有幾種,  能照明世間,  唯愿世尊說,  何等明最上?」

「婆羅門無事,  所作事已作,  乃至不得岸,  晝夜常勤跪。  已到彼岸住,  于岸復何跪,  此是婆羅門,  專精漏盡禪。  一切諸憂惱,  熾然永已斷,  是則到彼岸,  涅槃無所求。」

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園

『嗔恚是毒的根源,殺戮之人令我嘆息, 殺滅嗔恚之後,長夜便無憂患。』 當時,摩伽天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即隱沒不見。 (一三一〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有位名叫彌耆迦的天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐一旁。他的身光照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,彌耆迦天子以偈頌向佛陀請教: 『能照亮世間的光明有幾種? 唯愿世尊開示,哪種光明最為殊勝?』 當時,世尊以偈頌回答說: 『有三種光明,能照耀世間, 白天以太陽為照,月亮照耀夜晚。 燈火晝夜照明,照亮各種形色, 上下四方,眾生都蒙受照耀。 在人天光明中,佛陀的光明最為殊勝。』 佛陀說完此經,彌耆迦天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即隱沒不見。 (一三一一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有位名叫陀摩尼的天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,退坐一旁。他身上的光明照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,陀摩尼天子以偈頌說道: 『爲了婆羅門的事業,學習斷除煩惱不要疲倦, 斷除一切愛慾,不求來世的生命。』 當時,世尊以偈頌回答說: 『婆羅門已無事可做,該做的事已經完成, 乃至未到達彼岸,晝夜都應勤勉精進。 已經到達彼岸的人,在彼岸又何須跪拜? 這才是婆羅門,專精於漏盡禪定。 一切憂惱,熾盛的煩惱都已永遠斷除, 這才是到達彼岸,涅槃無所求。』 當時,陀摩尼天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即隱沒不見。 (一三一二) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有位名叫多羅揵陀的天子,容貌絕美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在之處,頂禮佛足,他身上的光明照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,這位天子以偈頌向佛陀請教: 『斷除幾種法?捨棄幾種法? 又增修幾種法? 超越幾種積聚,才能稱為比丘度過生死之流?』 當時,世尊以偈頌回答說: 『斷除五種,捨棄五種, 增修五種法, 超越五種積聚,稱為比丘度過生死之流。』 當時,多羅揵陀天子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,頂禮佛足,隨即隱沒不見。 (一三一三) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。

'Anger is the root of poison; I lament those who kill. Having killed anger, there will be no worries in the long night.' At that time, the deva Magha, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded. He bowed at the Buddha's feet and then vanished. (1310) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there was a deva named Migika, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful. In the latter part of the night, he came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. His radiance illuminated the entire Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, the deva Migika asked the Buddha in verse: 'How many kinds of light are there that can illuminate the world? May the World-Honored One explain, which light is the most supreme?' At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'There are three kinds of light that can illuminate the world. The day is illuminated by the sun, and the moon illuminates the night. The light of lamps illuminates day and night, illuminating various forms and colors. Above, below, and in all directions, all beings are illuminated. Among the lights of humans and devas, the light of the Buddha is the most supreme.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the deva Migika, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded. He bowed at the Buddha's feet and then vanished. (1311) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there was a deva named Dhamani, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful. In the latter part of the night, he came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The radiance from his body illuminated the entire Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, the deva Dhamani spoke in verse: 'For the sake of the Brahmin's work, learn to cut off defilements without weariness. Cut off all desires and do not seek rebirth.' At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'The Brahmin has no work to do; the work that had to be done is done. Until one reaches the shore, one should be diligent day and night. Having reached the shore, why kneel on the shore? This is the Brahmin, who is devoted to the meditation of the extinction of outflows. All worries and burning afflictions are forever cut off. This is reaching the shore, Nirvana, where nothing is sought.' At that time, the deva Dhamani, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded. He bowed at the Buddha's feet and then vanished. (1312) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there was a deva named Taragandha, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful. In the latter part of the night, he came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and the radiance from his body illuminated the entire Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Then, that deva asked the Buddha in verse: 'What should be cut off? What should be abandoned? What should be further cultivated? Having transcended what accumulations, is one called a bhikkhu who has crossed the stream?' At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse: 'Cut off five, abandon five, Further cultivate five dharmas. Having transcended five accumulations, one is called a bhikkhu who has crossed the stream.' At that time, the deva Taragandha, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and applauded. He bowed at the Buddha's feet and then vanished. (1313) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti.


時,有迦摩天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,身諸光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,迦摩天子白佛言:「甚難!世尊!甚難!善逝!」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「所學為甚難,  具足戒三昧,  遠離於非家,  閑居寂靜樂。」

時,有栴檀天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼栴檀天子說偈問佛:

「聞瞿曇大智,  無障礙知見,  何所住何學,  不遭他世惡?」

爾時,世尊說偈答曰:

「攝持身口意,  不造三惡法,  處在於居家,  廣集於群賓。  信惠財法施,  以法立一切,  住彼學彼法,  則無他世畏

現代漢語譯本 當時,有一位名叫迦摩的天子,容貌極其俊美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,他身上的光明照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 這時,迦摩天子對佛陀說:『世尊,這太難了!善逝,這太難了!』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『所學之事甚為艱難,要具足戒律和禪定,遠離世俗的家,獨處享受寂靜的快樂。』 迦摩天子對佛陀說:『世尊,保持靜默太難得了!』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『要獲得難得的學問,具足戒律和禪定,日夜都要專心精進,修習心中所喜愛的。』 迦摩天子對佛陀說:『世尊,獲得正受之心太難得了!』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『要安住于正受之中是困難的,要使諸根和心意堅定,能夠斷除死魔的束縛,聖者可以隨心所欲地前進。』 迦摩天子又對佛陀說:『世尊,險峻的道路太難走了!』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『難行的險峻道路,應當安穩快樂地前進,不是聖者的人會墮落其中,腳朝上頭朝下。賢聖之人行走正直的道路,險峻的道路自然會變得平坦。』 佛陀說完這部經后,迦摩天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳行禮,隨即消失不見。 (一三一四) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫迦摩的天子,容貌極其俊美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁。他身上的光明照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 這時,迦摩天子用偈語問佛陀: 『貪慾和嗔恚是由什麼引起的?為什麼會感到不快樂,汗毛豎立?恐懼是從哪裡產生的?覺想又是如何產生的?就像嬰兒一樣,依賴著乳母。』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『愛慾從自身生長,就像尼拘律樹一樣,到處隨處執著,就像榛樹和綿草叢林一樣。如果知道它的根源,就能啓發覺悟,度過生死的河流,不再受輪迴之苦。』 這時,迦摩天子聽了佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳行禮,隨即消失不見。 (一三一五) 我聽到的是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫栴檀的天子,容貌極其俊美,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳行禮,然後退坐在一旁。他身上的光明照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 這時,栴檀天子用偈語問佛陀: 『聽說瞿曇具有大智慧,擁有無障礙的知見,要住在哪裡,學習什麼,才能不遭受來世的惡報?』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『要攝持身口意,不造作三種惡法,即使身處在家,廣交賓客,也要以信心、恩惠、財物和佛法來佈施,用佛法來建立一切,安住於此,學習此法,就不會有來世的恐懼。』

English version At that time, there was a celestial being named Kama, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful. In the latter part of the night, he came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and the light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove and Anathapindika's Park. Then, the celestial being Kama said to the Buddha, 'It is very difficult, O Blessed One! It is very difficult, O Well-Gone One!' At that time, the Blessed One replied with a verse: 'What is learned is very difficult, to be complete in precepts and samadhi, to be away from the non-home, to dwell in solitude and enjoy peace.' The celestial being Kama said to the Buddha, 'O Blessed One, it is very difficult to attain silence!' At that time, the Blessed One replied with a verse: 'To attain what is difficult to attain, to be complete in precepts and samadhi, day and night to be diligent and focused, to cultivate what the mind delights in.' The celestial being Kama said to the Buddha, 'O Blessed One, it is very difficult to attain right mindfulness!' At that time, the Blessed One replied with a verse: 'To abide in right mindfulness is difficult, to make the senses and mind firm, to be able to break the bonds of death, the noble ones advance as they wish.' The celestial being Kama again said to the Buddha, 'O Blessed One, the perilous path is very difficult to walk!' At that time, the Blessed One replied with a verse: 'The perilous path that is difficult to traverse, one should walk with peace and joy, those who are not noble fall into it, with feet up and head down. The wise and noble walk the straight path, the perilous road naturally becomes flat.' After the Buddha had spoken this discourse, the celestial being Kama, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and was pleased, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1314) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove and Anathapindika's Park in the country of Savatthi. At that time, there was a celestial being named Kama, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful. In the latter part of the night, he came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove and Anathapindika's Park. Then, that celestial being Kama asked the Buddha in verse: 'What is the cause of greed and hatred? Why does one feel unhappy and have goosebumps? From where does fear arise? And how do thoughts come into being? Like a young child, relying on its nurse.' At that time, the Blessed One replied with a verse: 'Desire grows from oneself, like a banyan tree, clinging everywhere, like a thicket of hazel and cotton. If one knows its cause, one can awaken and be enlightened, cross the stream of birth and death, and no longer be subject to existence.' Then, the celestial being Kama, having heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and was pleased, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1315) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove and Anathapindika's Park in the country of Savatthi. At that time, there was a celestial being named Candana, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful. In the latter part of the night, he came to where the Buddha was, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove and Anathapindika's Park. Then, that celestial being Candana asked the Buddha in verse: 'Having heard that Gotama has great wisdom, and unobstructed knowledge and vision, where should one dwell, and what should one learn, so as not to suffer evil in the next life?' At that time, the Blessed One replied with a verse: 'One should control body, speech, and mind, not create three evil deeds, even while living at home, gathering many guests. With faith, kindness, wealth, and the Dharma, give alms, establish everything with the Dharma, dwell there, learn that Dharma, and there will be no fear of the next life.'

時,有栴檀天子,容色絕妙,於後夜時來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。

時,彼天子說偈問佛:

「誰度于諸流,  晝夜勤不懈,  不攀無住處,  云何不沒溺?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「一切戒具足,  智慧善正受,  內思惟正念,  能度難度流,  不染此欲想,  超度彼色愛,  貪喜悉已盡,  不入于難測。」

時,彼栴檀天子聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

現代漢語譯本 佛陀說完這些經文后,栴檀天子聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後就消失不見了。 (一三一六) 我聽到的是這樣的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫栴檀的天子,容貌極其美好,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退到一旁坐下。他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 這時,那位天子用偈語向佛陀提問: 『誰能度過諸多的河流,日夜勤奮不懈怠,不攀附任何無常的住所,又如何不會被淹沒呢?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『一切戒律都圓滿,智慧善巧地領受,內心思維正念,能度過難以度過的河流,不被慾望所污染,超越對色相的愛戀,貪婪和喜悅都已斷盡,不會陷入難以測度的境地。』 當時,那位栴檀天子聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後就消失不見了。 (一三一七) 我聽到的是這樣的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫迦葉的天子,容貌極其美好,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退到一旁坐下。他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 這時,那位迦葉天子對佛陀說:『世尊!我現在要說關於比丘以及比丘的功德。』 佛陀告訴天子:『隨你所說。』 這時,迦葉天子用偈語說道: 『比丘修習正念,內心得到善解脫,日夜精勤求道,懷有各種功德。了知世間實相,滅除一切有為法,比丘獲得無憂,內心沒有任何執著。』 『世尊!這就是比丘,這就是比丘的功德。』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『好啊!好啊!正如你所說。』 迦葉天子聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後就消失不見了。 (一三一八) 我聽到的是這樣的: 有一次,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位名叫迦葉的天子,容貌極其美好,在後半夜來到佛陀所在的地方,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退到一旁坐下。他的身體散發的光芒照亮了整個祇樹給孤獨園。 這時,那位迦葉天子對佛陀說:『世尊!我現在要說關於比丘以及比丘所說的話。』 佛陀告訴迦葉天子:『隨你喜歡說!』 這時,那位迦葉天子用偈語說道: 『比丘守護正念,內心得到善解脫,日夜精勤求道,獲得遠離塵垢的境界。明瞭知曉世間實相,在塵世中遠離塵垢,比丘沒有憂患,內心沒有任何執著。』 『世尊!這就是比丘,這就是比丘所說的話。』 佛陀告訴迦葉:『是這樣的,是這樣的,正如你所說。』 迦葉天子聽了佛陀的教誨,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後就消失不見了。

English version After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Candana Deva, having heard the Buddha's words, rejoiced and applauded, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1316) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, there was a deva named Candana, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful. In the latter part of the night, he came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that deva asked the Buddha in verse: 'Who crosses over the many streams, diligent day and night without rest, not clinging to any impermanent abode, and how is it that they are not drowned?' Then, the World Honored One answered in verse: 'One who is complete in all precepts, with wisdom well received, with right mindfulness in inner contemplation, can cross over the difficult-to-cross streams, not defiled by desires, transcending the love of form, with greed and joy completely exhausted, and will not enter into the immeasurable.' At that time, that Candana Deva, having heard the Buddha's words, rejoiced and applauded, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1317) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. Then, there was a deva named Kasyapa, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful. In the latter part of the night, he came to where the Buddha was, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then sat down to one side. The light from his body illuminated the entire Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that time, that Kasyapa Deva said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I will now speak about the bhikshu and the merits of the bhikshu.' The Buddha told the deva: 'Speak as you wish.' Then, Kasyapa Deva spoke in verse: 'The bhikshu cultivates right mindfulness, their mind is well liberated, they diligently seek the path day and night, possessing various merits. Understanding the true nature of the world, eliminating all conditioned phenomena, the bhikshu obtains freedom from sorrow, with no attachments in their mind.' 'World Honored One! This is called a bhikshu, this is called the merit of a bhikshu.' The Buddha told Kasyapa: 'Excellent! Excellent! Just as you have said.' Kasyapa Deva, having heard the Buddha's words, rejoiced and applauded, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared.

Then, that Kasyapa Deva spoke in verse: 'The bhikshu guards right mindfulness, their mind is well liberated, they diligently seek the path day and night, attaining the state of being free from defilement. Clearly understanding the true nature of the world, being in the world yet free from defilement, the bhikshu has no worries, with no attachments in their mind.' 'World Honored One! This is called a bhikshu, this is what a bhikshu speaks.' The Buddha told Kasyapa: 'It is so, it is so, just as you have said.' Kasyapa Deva, having heard the Buddha's words, rejoiced and applauded, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared.

如是我聞:

一時,佛在摩竭提國人間遊行,日暮與五百比丘于屈摩夜叉鬼住處宿。時,屈摩夜叉鬼來詣佛所,稽首佛足,退住一面。

時,屈摩夜叉鬼白佛言:「世尊!今請世尊與諸大眾於此夜宿。」

爾時,世尊默然受請。

是時,屈摩夜叉鬼知世尊默然受請已,化作五百重閣房舍,臥床、坐床、踞床,俱褶褥枕,各五百具,悉皆化成。化作五百燈明,無諸煙炎。悉化現已,往詣佛所,稽首佛足,勸請世尊令入其舍,令諸比丘次受房舍及諸臥具。周遍受已,還至佛所,稽首佛足,退坐一面。而說偈言:

「賢德有正念,  賢德常正念,  正念安隱眠,  此世及他世。  賢德有正念,  賢德常正念,  正念安隱眠,  其心常寂止。  賢德有正念,  賢德常正念,  正念安隱眠,  舍降伏他軍。  賢德有正念,  賢德常正念,  不殺不教殺,  不伏不教伏。  慈心於一切,  心不懷怨結。」

爾時,世尊告屈摩夜叉鬼:「如是,如是,如汝所說。」

時,屈摩夜叉鬼聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,還自所住處。

如是我聞:

一時,佛住摩鳩羅山,尊者那伽波羅為親侍者。

爾時,世尊于夜闇時,天小微雨,電光睒現,出於房外,露地經行。

是時,天帝釋作是念:「今日世尊住摩鳩羅山,尊者那伽波羅親侍供養,其夜闇冥,天時微雨,電光睒現,世尊出房,露地經行,我當化作毗琉璃重閣,執持重閣,隨佛經行。」作是念已,即便化作鞞琉璃重閣,持詣佛所,稽首佛足,隨佛經行。

爾時,摩竭提國人若男若女,夜啼之時,以摩鳩羅鬼恐之即止,親侍供養弟子之法,待師禪覺,然後乃眠。爾時,世尊為天帝釋夜經行久

現代漢語譯本 (一三一九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀在摩揭陀國的人間游化,傍晚時分與五百位比丘在屈摩夜叉鬼的住所過夜。當時,屈摩夜叉鬼來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的腳稽首,然後退到一邊站立。 這時,屈摩夜叉鬼對佛陀說:『世尊!現在請世尊和各位大眾今晚在這裡住宿。』 當時,世尊默然接受了邀請。 這時,屈摩夜叉鬼知道世尊默然接受邀請后,幻化出五百座重疊的樓閣房舍,以及臥床、坐床、跪床,都鋪設了褥子和枕頭,每樣都有五百套,全部都幻化完成。又幻化出五百盞燈,沒有煙和火焰。全部幻化完畢后,前往佛陀的住所,向佛陀的腳稽首,勸請世尊進入房舍,讓各位比丘依次接受房舍和各種臥具。全部接受完畢后,回到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的腳稽首,退到一邊坐下。然後說偈語: 『賢德之人有正念,賢德之人常有正念,正念使人安穩睡眠,無論今生還是來世。賢德之人有正念,賢德之人常有正念,正念使人安穩睡眠,內心常常寂靜止息。賢德之人有正念,賢德之人常有正念,正念使人安穩睡眠,捨棄並降伏敵軍。賢德之人有正念,賢德之人常有正念,不殺生也不教唆殺生,不屈服也不教唆屈服。以慈悲心對待一切,心中不懷怨恨。』 這時,世尊告訴屈摩夜叉鬼:『是這樣,是這樣,正如你所說。』 當時,屈摩夜叉鬼聽到佛陀所說,歡喜讚歎,向佛陀的腳稽首,回到自己所住的地方。 (一三二〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在摩鳩羅山,尊者那伽波羅是他的貼身侍者。 當時,世尊在夜晚黑暗的時候,天空下著小雨,閃電閃爍,走出房外,在露天行走。 這時,天帝釋心想:『今天世尊住在摩鳩羅山,尊者那伽波羅貼身侍奉,夜晚黑暗,天空下著小雨,閃電閃爍,世尊走出房外,在露天行走,我應當幻化出琉璃重閣,拿著重閣,跟隨佛陀行走。』這樣想后,就幻化出琉璃重閣,拿著來到佛陀的住所,向佛陀的腳稽首,跟隨佛陀行走。 當時,摩揭陀國的人,無論是男人還是女人,在夜晚啼哭的時候,用摩鳩羅鬼來恐嚇他們就會停止哭泣,貼身侍奉的弟子,要等待老師禪定醒來,然後才睡覺。當時,世尊為天帝釋在夜晚行走很久

English version (1319) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the human realm of Magadha. At dusk, he stayed overnight with five hundred monks at the dwelling of the Yaksha demon Kukuma. At that time, the Yaksha demon Kukuma came to the Buddha's place, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then withdrew to stand on one side. Then, the Yaksha demon Kukuma said to the Buddha: 'Venerable One! Now, I invite the Venerable One and all the assembly to stay here tonight.' At that time, the Buddha silently accepted the invitation. Then, the Yaksha demon Kukuma, knowing that the Buddha had silently accepted the invitation, transformed five hundred multi-storied pavilions, along with beds, sitting platforms, and kneeling platforms, all furnished with cushions and pillows, five hundred sets of each, all completely transformed. He also transformed five hundred lamps, without smoke or flames. Having completed all the transformations, he went to the Buddha's place, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and invited the Buddha to enter the dwellings, allowing the monks to receive the dwellings and various bedding in turn. After all had received them, he returned to the Buddha's place, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and sat down on one side. Then he spoke these verses: 'The virtuous have right mindfulness, the virtuous always have right mindfulness, right mindfulness brings peaceful sleep, in this life and the next. The virtuous have right mindfulness, the virtuous always have right mindfulness, right mindfulness brings peaceful sleep, their minds are always tranquil and still. The virtuous have right mindfulness, the virtuous always have right mindfulness, right mindfulness brings peaceful sleep, abandoning and subduing the enemy's army. The virtuous have right mindfulness, the virtuous always have right mindfulness, they do not kill nor incite killing, they do not submit nor incite submission. With a compassionate heart towards all, they harbor no resentment.' Then, the Buddha said to the Yaksha demon Kukuma: 'It is so, it is so, just as you have said.' At that time, the Yaksha demon Kukuma, hearing what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and praised, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and returned to his own dwelling. (1320) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying on Mount Makula, with the Venerable Nagapala as his personal attendant. At that time, the Buddha, during the dark of night, when there was a light rain and flashes of lightning, went out of his dwelling and walked in the open air. Then, Sakra, the king of the gods, thought: 'Today, the Buddha is staying on Mount Makula, with the Venerable Nagapala attending to him. The night is dark, there is a light rain, and flashes of lightning. The Buddha has gone out of his dwelling and is walking in the open air. I should transform a multi-storied pavilion of beryl, hold the pavilion, and follow the Buddha as he walks.' Having thought this, he immediately transformed a multi-storied pavilion of beryl, took it to the Buddha's place, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and followed the Buddha as he walked. At that time, the people of Magadha, whether men or women, when they cried at night, would be threatened with the Makula demon, and they would stop crying. The disciples who served personally would wait for their teacher to awaken from meditation before going to sleep. At that time, the Buddha had been walking for a long time at night for Sakra, the king of the gods.


爾時,尊者那伽波羅作是念:「世尊今夜經行至久,我今當作摩鳩羅鬼形而恐怖之!」時,那伽波羅比丘即反被俱執,長毛在外,往在世尊經行道頭,白佛言:「摩鳩羅鬼來!摩鳩羅鬼來!」

爾時,世尊告那伽波羅比丘:「汝那伽波羅愚癡人,以摩鳩羅鬼神像恐怖佛耶?不能動如來、應、等正覺一毛髮也,如來、應、等正覺久離恐怖!」

爾時,天帝釋白佛言:「世尊!世尊正法、律中亦復有此人耶?」

佛言:「憍尸迦!瞿曇家中極大廣闊,斯等於未來世亦當使得清凈之法。」

爾時,世尊即說偈言:

「若復婆羅門,  于自所得法,  得到于彼岸。  若一毗舍遮,  及與摩鳩羅,  皆悉超過去。  若復婆羅門,  于自所行法,  一切諸受覺,  觀察皆已滅。  若復婆羅門,  自法度彼岸,  一切諸因緣,  皆悉已滅盡。  若復婆羅門,  自法度彼岸,  一切諸人我,  皆悉已滅盡。  若復婆羅門,  自法度彼岸,  于生老病死,  皆悉已超過。」

佛說此經已,釋提桓因聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,稽首佛足,即沒不現。

(一三二一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,尊者阿那律陀于摩竭提國人間遊行,到畢陵伽鬼子母住處宿。時,尊者阿那律陀夜後分時,端身正坐,誦憂陀那、波羅延那、見真諦、諸上座所說偈、比丘尼所說偈、尸路偈、義品、牟尼偈、修多羅,悉皆廣誦。

爾時,畢陵伽鬼子夜啼,畢陵伽鬼子母為其子說偈呵止言:

「畢陵伽鬼子,  汝今莫得啼,  當聽彼比丘,  誦習法句偈。  若知法句者,  能自護持戒,  遠離於殺生,  實言不妄語,  能自舍非義,  解脫鬼神道。」

畢陵伽鬼子母說是偈時,畢陵伽鬼子啼聲即止。

(一三二二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在摩竭提國人間遊行,與大眾俱,到富那婆藪鬼子母住處宿。

爾時,世尊為諸比丘說四聖諦相應法,所謂苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。

爾時,富那婆藪鬼母,兒富那婆藪及鬼女郁多羅,二鬼小兒夜啼

現代漢語譯本 當時,尊者那伽波羅心想:『世尊今晚經行很久了,我應該變成摩鳩羅鬼的樣子去恐嚇他!』於是,那伽波羅比丘就反穿僧袍,把長毛露在外面,走到世尊經行道的盡頭,對佛說:『摩鳩羅鬼來了!摩鳩羅鬼來了!』 當時,世尊告訴那伽波羅比丘:『你這愚癡的那伽波羅,竟然用摩鳩羅鬼的形象來恐嚇佛嗎?你不能動搖如來、應供、正等正覺的一根毫毛,如來、應供、正等正覺早已遠離了恐懼!』 當時,天帝釋對佛說:『世尊!在世尊的正法和戒律中,也有這樣的人嗎?』 佛說:『憍尸迦!瞿曇的家族非常廣闊,這些人將來也會得到清凈的佛法。』 當時,世尊就說了偈語: 『如果婆羅門,對於自己所得到的法,到達了彼岸。如果一個毗舍遮,以及摩鳩羅,都能夠超越過去。如果婆羅門,對於自己所修行的法,一切的感受,觀察都已滅盡。如果婆羅門,自己所修的法度過了彼岸,一切的因緣,都已滅盡。如果婆羅門,自己所修的法度過了彼岸,一切的人我和執著,都已滅盡。如果婆羅門,自己所修的法度過了彼岸,對於生老病死,都已超越。』 佛說完這部經后,釋提桓因聽了佛所說,歡喜隨喜,向佛頂禮,然後就消失不見了。 (一三二一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,尊者阿那律陀在摩竭提國游化,到了畢陵伽鬼子母的住處過夜。當時,尊者阿那律陀在後半夜,端身正坐,誦讀優陀那、波羅延那、見真諦、諸上座所說的偈頌、比丘尼所說的偈頌、尸路偈、義品、牟尼偈、修多羅,全部都廣為誦讀。 當時,畢陵伽鬼子夜裡啼哭,畢陵伽鬼子母就為她的孩子說了偈語來制止他: 『畢陵伽鬼子,你現在不要哭,應當聽那位比丘,誦習法句偈。如果知道法句的人,能夠自己守護戒律,遠離殺生,說真實的話不妄語,能夠自己捨棄不義,解脫鬼神之道。』 畢陵伽鬼子母說完這偈語時,畢陵伽鬼子的哭聲就停止了。 (一三二二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛在摩竭提國游化,與大眾一起,到了富那婆藪鬼子母的住處過夜。 當時,世尊為眾比丘宣說與四聖諦相應的法,也就是苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、苦滅道跡聖諦。 當時,富那婆藪鬼母的兒子富那婆藪和鬼女郁多羅,這兩個小鬼在夜裡啼哭。

English version At that time, the Venerable Nāgapāla thought: 'The World Honored One has been walking for a long time tonight, I should transform into the form of a Makura ghost to frighten him!' Then, the bhikkhu Nāgapāla reversed his robe, with the long hair exposed, and went to the end of the path where the World Honored One was walking, and said to the Buddha: 'The Makura ghost is coming! The Makura ghost is coming!' At that time, the World Honored One said to the bhikkhu Nāgapāla: 'You foolish Nāgapāla, are you using the image of a Makura ghost to frighten the Buddha? You cannot move a single hair of the Tathāgata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One. The Tathāgata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One has long been free from fear!' At that time, Śakra, the lord of the gods, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! Are there also such people in the World Honored One's Dharma and Vinaya?' The Buddha said: 'Kauśika! The family of Gautama is very vast, and these people will also attain the pure Dharma in the future.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke the following verses: 'If a Brahmin, regarding the Dharma he has attained, has reached the other shore. If a Piśāca, and a Makura, can all transcend. If a Brahmin, regarding the Dharma he practices, all feelings, observing, have ceased. If a Brahmin, by his own Dharma has crossed the other shore, all causes and conditions, have all ceased. If a Brahmin, by his own Dharma has crossed the other shore, all notions of self and others, have all ceased. If a Brahmin, by his own Dharma has crossed the other shore, he has transcended birth, old age, sickness, and death.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Śakra, the lord of the gods, heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and then disappeared. (1321) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rājagṛha. At that time, the Venerable Anuruddha was wandering in the country of Magadha, and arrived at the dwelling of the Yakṣiṇī Piḷiṅgā to spend the night. At that time, in the latter part of the night, the Venerable Anuruddha sat upright and recited the Udāna, Pārāyana, the Seeing of Truth, the verses spoken by the elders, the verses spoken by the bhikkhunīs, the Śīla verses, the Artha section, the Muni verses, and the Sūtras, all extensively recited. At that time, the Piḷiṅgā ghost child was crying at night, and the Piḷiṅgā Yakṣiṇī spoke verses to her child to stop him: 'Piḷiṅgā ghost child, you should not cry now, you should listen to that bhikkhu, reciting the verses of the Dhammapada. If one knows the Dhammapada, one can protect one's own precepts, abstain from killing, speak truthfully and not falsely, be able to abandon what is unrighteous, and be liberated from the path of ghosts.' When the Piḷiṅgā Yakṣiṇī finished speaking these verses, the crying of the Piḷiṅgā ghost child ceased. (1322) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the country of Magadha, together with the great assembly, and arrived at the dwelling of the Yakṣiṇī Pūrṇabhadrā to spend the night. At that time, the World Honored One was explaining to the bhikkhus the Dharma corresponding to the Four Noble Truths, namely the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering. At that time, the son of the Yakṣiṇī Pūrṇabhadrā, Pūrṇabhadrā, and the Yakṣiṇī daughter Uttarā, these two young ghosts were crying at night.


。時,富那婆藪鬼母教其男女故,而說偈言:

「汝富那婆藪,  郁多羅莫啼,  令我得聽聞,  如來所說法。  非父母能令,  其子解脫苦,  聞如來說法,  其苦得解脫。  世人隨愛慾,  為眾苦所迫,  如來為說法,  令破壞生死。  我今欲聞法,  汝等當默然,  時富那婆藪,  鬼女郁多羅。  悉受其母語,  默然而靜聽,  語母言善哉,  我亦樂聞法。  此正覺世尊,  于摩竭勝山,  為諸眾生類,  演說脫苦法。  說苦及苦因,  苦滅滅苦道,  從此四聖諦,  安隱趣涅槃。  母今但善聽,  世尊所說法。」

時,富那婆藪鬼母即說偈言:

「奇哉智慧子,  善能隨我心,  汝富那婆藪,  善嘆佛導師。  汝富那婆藪,  及汝郁多羅,  當生隨喜心,  我已見聖諦。」

時,富那婆藪鬼母說是偈時,鬼子男女隨喜默然。

(一三二三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在摩竭提國人間遊行,與諸大眾至摩尼遮羅鬼住處夜宿。

爾時,摩尼遮羅鬼會諸鬼神,集在一處。

時,有一女人,持香花鬘飾、飲食,至彼摩尼遮羅鬼神住處。彼女人遙見世尊在摩尼遮羅鬼神住處坐,見已,作是念:「我今現見摩尼遮羅鬼神。」即說偈言:

「善哉摩尼遮,  住摩伽陀國,  摩伽陀國人,  所求悉如願。  云何於此世,  常得安樂住?  後世復云何,  而得生天樂?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「莫放逸慢恣,  用摩尼鬼為,  若自修所作,  能得生天樂。」

時,彼女人作是念:「此非摩尼遮羅鬼,是沙門瞿曇。」如是知已,即以香花鬘飾供養世尊,稽首禮足,退坐一面。而說偈言:

「何道趣安樂?  當修何等行,  此世常安隱,  後世生天樂?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「佈施善調心,  樂執護諸根,  正見修賢行,  親近於沙門。  以正命自活,  他世生天樂,  何用三十三,  諸天之苦網。  但當一其心,  斷除于愛慾,  我當說離垢,  甘露法善聽。」

時,彼女人聞世尊說法,示、教、照、喜

現代漢語譯本:當時,富那婆藪鬼母教導她的孩子們,於是說了偈語: 『你,富那婆藪,不要哭泣,郁多羅也不要哭泣,讓我能夠聽到如來所說的法。 父母不能讓他們的孩子解脫痛苦,但聽聞如來說法,就能解脫痛苦。 世人沉溺於愛慾,被各種痛苦所逼迫,如來為他們說法,讓他們能夠破除生死輪迴。 我現在想聽法,你們都應當保持沉默。』 當時,富那婆藪和鬼女郁多羅都聽從了母親的話,默默地安靜聽著,並對母親說:『太好了,我們也樂意聽法。』 這位正覺世尊,在摩竭勝山,為各種眾生,演說脫離痛苦的方法。 講述苦,以及苦的原因,苦的滅除,以及滅苦的道路,通過這四聖諦,可以安穩地趨向涅槃。 母親您現在只要好好聽,世尊所說的法。』 當時,富那婆藪鬼母又說了偈語: 『真是奇妙啊,有智慧的孩子,真能順應我的心意,你,富那婆藪,真能讚歎佛陀導師。 你,富那婆藪,以及你,郁多羅,應當生起隨喜之心,我已經見到了聖諦。』 當時,富那婆藪鬼母說完這些偈語時,鬼子男女都隨喜並保持沉默。 (一三二三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀在摩竭提國的人間游化,與大眾一起到摩尼遮羅鬼的住處過夜。 當時,摩尼遮羅鬼召集了眾鬼神,聚集在一處。 當時,有一位女子,拿著香花、花鬘、裝飾品和食物,來到摩尼遮羅鬼神的住處。那位女子遠遠地看見世尊坐在摩尼遮羅鬼神的住處,看到后,她心想:『我現在看見了摩尼遮羅鬼神。』於是說了偈語: 『善哉,摩尼遮,你住在摩伽陀國,摩伽陀國的人,所求都能如願。 如何才能在這個世間,常常安樂地居住?後世又如何,才能得到生天的快樂?』 當時,世尊說了偈語回答說: 『不要放縱懈怠,不要依賴摩尼鬼,如果自己修行所作的善業,就能得到生天的快樂。』 當時,那位女子心想:『這不是摩尼遮羅鬼,是沙門瞿曇。』這樣知道后,她就用香花、花鬘、裝飾品供養世尊,頂禮佛足,退坐在一旁。並說了偈語: 『什麼道路能通向安樂?應當修行什麼行為,才能使此世常常安穩,後世能生天享樂?』 當時,世尊說了偈語回答說: 『佈施,善於調伏內心,樂於守護諸根,正見,修行賢善的行為,親近沙門。 以正當的職業謀生,來世就能生天享樂,何必貪戀三十三天,諸天的苦網呢? 只要一心一意,斷除愛慾,我將要說離垢的甘露法,好好聽著。』 當時,那位女子聽聞世尊說法,得到開示、教導、啓發和歡喜。

English version: At that time, the demon mother Pūtanābhāvasu taught her children, and then spoke a verse: 'You, Pūtanābhāvasu, do not cry, nor should you, Uttarā, let me hear the Dharma spoken by the Tathāgata. Parents cannot liberate their children from suffering, but by hearing the Dharma spoken by the Tathāgata, one can be liberated from suffering. People in the world are addicted to desires and are oppressed by various sufferings. The Tathāgata speaks the Dharma for them so that they can break free from the cycle of birth and death. 'I want to hear the Dharma now, you should all remain silent.' At that time, Pūtanābhāvasu and the demon girl Uttarā both obeyed their mother's words, silently listening quietly, and said to their mother: 'Excellent, we are also happy to hear the Dharma.' This perfectly enlightened World Honored One, on Mount Magadha, expounds the method of liberation from suffering for all kinds of sentient beings. He speaks of suffering, the cause of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path to the cessation of suffering. Through these Four Noble Truths, one can safely approach Nirvana. 'Mother, you should now listen carefully to the Dharma spoken by the World Honored One.' At that time, the demon mother Pūtanābhāvasu spoke another verse: 'How wonderful, my wise children, you truly understand my heart. You, Pūtanābhāvasu, truly praise the Buddha, the teacher. You, Pūtanābhāvasu, and you, Uttarā, should give rise to joy. I have already seen the Noble Truths.' At that time, when the demon mother Pūtanābhāvasu finished speaking these verses, the demon children, both male and female, rejoiced and remained silent. (1323) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the human realm of Magadha, and together with the assembly, they stayed overnight at the dwelling of the demon Maṇicara. At that time, the demon Maṇicara gathered all the demons and spirits, and they assembled in one place. At that time, there was a woman who brought incense, flowers, garlands, ornaments, and food to the dwelling of the demon Maṇicara. That woman saw the World Honored One sitting at the dwelling of the demon Maṇicara from afar. After seeing him, she thought: 'I now see the demon Maṇicara.' Then she spoke a verse: 'Excellent, Maṇicara, you dwell in the country of Magadha. The people of Magadha, whatever they seek, can have their wishes fulfilled. How can one live happily in this world? And how can one be reborn in heaven and enjoy heavenly bliss in the next life?' At that time, the World Honored One answered with a verse: 'Do not be indulgent and negligent, do not rely on the demon Maṇi. If you cultivate good deeds yourself, you can attain the bliss of being reborn in heaven.' At that time, that woman thought: 'This is not the demon Maṇicara, but the Śramaṇa Gautama.' Knowing this, she offered incense, flowers, garlands, and ornaments to the World Honored One, bowed at his feet, and sat down to one side. Then she spoke a verse: 'What path leads to happiness? What kind of conduct should one cultivate so that this life is always peaceful, and one can be reborn in heaven and enjoy bliss in the next life?' At that time, the World Honored One answered with a verse: 'Giving, being good at subduing the mind, being happy to guard the senses, having right view, cultivating virtuous conduct, and associating with Śramaṇas. By living a righteous life, one can be reborn in heaven and enjoy bliss in the next life. Why crave the thirty-three heavens, the net of suffering of the gods? Just be single-minded, cut off desires, and I will speak the undefiled nectar Dharma, listen well.' At that time, that woman heard the World Honored One's Dharma, and received instruction, guidance, enlightenment, and joy.


。如佛常法,謂佈施、持戒,生天之福,欲味欲患煩惱,清凈、出要、遠離,功德福利,次第演說清凈佛法。譬如鮮凈白㲲,易染其色。時,彼女人亦復如是。即于坐上,於四聖諦得平等觀苦、集、滅、道。

時,彼女人見法、得法、知法、入法,度諸疑惑,不由於他,于正法、律得無所畏。即從座起,整衣服,合掌白佛:「已度,世尊!已度,善逝!我從今日,盡壽命,歸佛、歸法、歸比丘僧。」

時,彼女人聞佛所說,歡喜隨喜,禮佛而去。

(一三二四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在摩竭提國人間遊行,到針毛鬼住處夜宿。爾時,針毛鬼會諸鬼神,集在一處。

時,有炎鬼見世尊在針毛鬼住處夜宿。見已,往詣針毛鬼所,語針毛鬼言:「聚落主!汝今大得善利,今如來、應、等正覺于汝室宿。」

針毛鬼言:「今當試看,為是如來、為非?」

時,針毛鬼與諸鬼神集會已,還歸自舍,束身沖佛。爾時,世尊卻身避之。如是再三,束身沖佛,佛亦再三卻身避之。

爾時,針毛鬼言:「沙門怖耶?」

佛言:「聚落主!我不怖也,但汝觸惡。」

針毛鬼言:「今有所問,當爲我說,能令我喜者善,不能令我喜者,當壞汝心,裂汝胸,令汝熱血從其面出,捉汝兩手擲恒水彼岸。」

佛告針毛鬼:「聚落主!我不見諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人能壞如來、應、等正覺心者,能裂其胸者,能令熱血從面出者,執其兩臂擲著恒水彼岸者。汝今但問,當爲汝說。令汝歡喜。」

時,針毛鬼說偈問佛:

「一切貪恚心,  以何為其因,  不樂身毛豎,  恐怖從何起?  意念諸覺想,  為從何所起,  猶如新生兒,  依倚于乳母。」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「愛生自身長,  如尼拘律樹,  展轉相拘引,  如藤綿叢林,  若知彼所因,  當令鬼覺悟,  度生死海流,  不復重增有。」

爾時,針毛鬼聞世尊說偈,心得歡喜,向佛悔過,受持三歸。

佛說此經已,針毛鬼聞佛所說,歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本:如同佛陀通常的教法,講述佈施、持戒能帶來昇天的福報,以及對慾望的執著會帶來煩惱,並闡述清凈、解脫、遠離的修行方法,以及功德利益,依次演說清凈的佛法。這就像一塊潔白的新布,很容易被染上顏色。當時,那位女子也是如此。她當即在座位上,對四聖諦產生了平等的觀照,即苦、集、滅、道。當時,那位女子見到了法、得到了法、理解了法、進入了法,度脫了一切疑惑,不再依賴他人,在正法和戒律中獲得了無所畏懼的境界。她立即從座位上站起來,整理好衣服,合掌向佛陀說道:『我已經度脫了,世尊!我已經度脫了,善逝!我從今天起,直到生命終結,都將皈依佛、皈依法、皈依比丘僧。』當時,那位女子聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜隨喜,向佛陀頂禮后離去。 現代漢語譯本:我是這樣聽說的:一時,佛陀在摩竭提國游化人間,來到針毛鬼的住處過夜。當時,針毛鬼召集了眾鬼神,聚集在一處。當時,有個炎鬼看到世尊在針毛鬼的住處過夜。看到后,他前往針毛鬼那裡,對針毛鬼說:『聚落主!你現在真是獲得了極大的善利,如來、應供、等正覺竟然在你的住所過夜。』針毛鬼說:『現在應當試探一下,看他是不是如來。』當時,針毛鬼和眾鬼神商議完畢后,回到自己的住所,束緊身體衝向佛陀。當時,世尊側身避開了他。像這樣再三地束身衝向佛陀,佛陀也再三地側身避開了他。當時,針毛鬼說:『沙門害怕了嗎?』佛陀說:『聚落主!我不害怕,只是你的行為不善。』針毛鬼說:『現在我有些問題要問你,能讓我高興的就說,不能讓我高興的,我就要毀壞你的心,撕裂你的胸膛,讓你的熱血從臉上流出來,抓住你的雙手把你扔到恒河的對岸。』佛陀告訴針毛鬼:『聚落主!我沒有見到諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人能夠毀壞如來、應供、等正覺的心,能夠撕裂他的胸膛,能夠讓熱血從臉上流出來,能夠抓住他的雙臂扔到恒河對岸的。你現在儘管問,我將為你解答,讓你歡喜。』當時,針毛鬼用偈語問佛:『一切貪婪和嗔恨的心,它們的根源是什麼?不快樂和汗毛豎立,恐懼是從哪裡產生的?意念和各種感覺,它們是從哪裡產生的?就像新生兒,依賴著乳母一樣。』當時,世尊用偈語回答說:『愛慾生根滋長,就像尼拘律樹一樣,相互牽引糾纏,如同藤蔓纏繞叢林。如果知道它們的根源,就能讓鬼覺悟,度脫生死的河流,不再增加新的輪迴。』當時,針毛鬼聽聞世尊的偈語,心中歡喜,向佛陀懺悔過錯,受持三皈依。佛陀說完這部經后,針毛鬼聽聞佛陀所說,歡喜奉行。

English version: As is the Buddha's usual teaching, he spoke of the merit of giving and keeping precepts, which lead to rebirth in heaven, the suffering caused by attachment to desires, and explained the methods of practice for purity, liberation, and detachment, as well as the benefits of merit, thus expounding the pure Dharma step by step. It was like a piece of clean white cloth, easily dyed with color. At that time, that woman was also like this. Immediately, in her seat, she gained an equal view of the Four Noble Truths: suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path. At that time, that woman saw the Dharma, attained the Dharma, understood the Dharma, entered the Dharma, crossed over all doubts, no longer relying on others, and gained fearlessness in the true Dharma and discipline. She immediately rose from her seat, adjusted her clothes, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'I have crossed over, World Honored One! I have crossed over, Well-Gone One! From this day forward, until the end of my life, I will take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, and take refuge in the Sangha of monks.' At that time, that woman, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed with joy, bowed to the Buddha, and departed. English version: Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Magadha, and he arrived at the dwelling of the Needle-Hair Ghost to spend the night. At that time, the Needle-Hair Ghost gathered all the ghosts and spirits, and they assembled in one place. At that time, a Flame Ghost saw the World Honored One spending the night at the dwelling of the Needle-Hair Ghost. Having seen this, he went to the Needle-Hair Ghost and said to him: 'Lord of the village! You have now gained great benefit, for the Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Fully Enlightened One, is spending the night in your dwelling.' The Needle-Hair Ghost said: 'Now I shall test him to see if he is the Tathagata or not.' At that time, the Needle-Hair Ghost, having consulted with all the ghosts and spirits, returned to his dwelling, tightened his body, and charged at the Buddha. At that time, the World Honored One moved aside to avoid him. In this way, he charged at the Buddha three times, and the Buddha moved aside to avoid him three times. At that time, the Needle-Hair Ghost said: 'Is the Shramana afraid?' The Buddha said: 'Lord of the village! I am not afraid, but your actions are evil.' The Needle-Hair Ghost said: 'Now I have some questions to ask you. If you can say something that pleases me, then good, but if you cannot please me, I will destroy your heart, tear open your chest, make your hot blood flow from your face, and grab your two hands and throw you to the other side of the Ganges River.' The Buddha told the Needle-Hair Ghost: 'Lord of the village! I have not seen any gods, demons, Brahmas, Shramanas, Brahmins, heavenly beings, or people in the world who can destroy the heart of the Tathagata, the Worthy One, the Fully Enlightened One, who can tear open his chest, who can make hot blood flow from his face, or who can grab his two arms and throw him to the other side of the Ganges River. Now, just ask your questions, and I will answer them for you, so that you may be pleased.' At that time, the Needle-Hair Ghost asked the Buddha in verse: 'What is the cause of all greed and hatred? Where does unhappiness and the bristling of body hair, and fear, arise from? Where do thoughts and all feelings arise from? Like a newborn child, relying on its mother.' At that time, the World Honored One answered in verse: 'Desire grows and extends itself, like a banyan tree, mutually attracting and entangling, like vines in a forest. If one knows their origin, one can awaken the ghost, cross the river of birth and death, and no longer increase new existence.' At that time, the Needle-Hair Ghost, having heard the World Honored One's verses, was pleased in his heart, repented his faults to the Buddha, and took refuge in the Three Jewels. After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the Needle-Hair Ghost, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it.


雜阿含經卷第四十九 大正藏第 02 冊 No. 0099 雜阿含經

雜阿含經卷第五十

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(一三二五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有優婆夷子,受八支齋,尋即犯戒,即為鬼神所持。

爾時,優婆夷即說偈言:

「十四十五日,  及月分八日,  神通瑞應月,  八支善正受,  受持于齋戒,  不為鬼所持,  我昔數咨問,  世尊作是說。」

爾時,彼鬼即說偈言:

「十四十五日,  及月分八日,  神足瑞應月,  八支修正受。  齋肅清凈住,  戒德善守護,  不為鬼戲弄,  善哉從佛聞。  汝當說言放,  我當放汝子。  諸有慢緩業,  染污行苦行,  梵行不清凈,  終不得大果。  譬如拔菅草,  執緩則傷手,  沙門行惡觸,  當墮地獄中。  譬如拔菅草,  急捉不傷手,  沙門善攝持,  則到般涅槃。」

時,彼鬼神即放優婆夷子。爾時,優婆夷說偈告子言:

「子汝今聽我,  說彼鬼神說,  若有慢緩業,  穢污修苦行。  不清凈梵行,  彼不得大果,  譬如拔葌草,  執緩則傷手。  沙門起惡觸,  當墮地獄中,  如急執葌草,  則不傷其手。  沙門善執護,  逮得般涅槃。」

時,彼優婆夷子如是覺悟已,剃除鬚髮,著袈裟衣,正信非家,出家學道,心不得樂,還歸自家,母遙見子,而說偈言:

「邁世而出家,  何為還聚落,  燒舍急出財,  豈還投火中?」

其子比丘說偈答言:

「但念母命終,  存亡不相見,  故來還瞻視,  何見子不歡。」

時,母優婆夷說偈答言:

「舍欲而出家,  還欲服食之,  是故我憂悲,  恐隨魔自在。」

是時,優婆夷如是如是發悟其子;如是,其子還空閑處,精勤思惟,斷除一切煩惱結縛,得阿羅漢果證。

如是我聞:

一時,佛在摩竭提國人間遊行,到阿臘鬼住處夜宿。

時,阿臘鬼集會諸鬼神。時,有竭曇鬼見世尊在阿臘鬼住處夜宿

《雜阿含經》卷第五十

宋天竺三藏求那跋陀羅譯

(一三二五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。

當時,有一位優婆夷的兒子,受持了八關齋戒,隨即就犯戒了,立刻被鬼神附身。

那時,優婆夷就說了偈語:

『十四、十五日,以及每月的初八, 神通瑞應之月,八支善戒正受持, 受持齋戒的人,不會被鬼神所控制, 我以前多次請教,世尊是這樣說的。』

那時,那個鬼就說了偈語:

『十四、十五日,以及每月的初八, 神足瑞應之月,八支戒律正確受持。 齋戒清凈地住,戒德善加守護, 不會被鬼戲弄,這是從佛那裡聽來的真理。 你應當說放開,我就放開你的兒子。 那些懈怠緩慢的修行,染污的苦行, 梵行不清凈的,終究得不到大的果報。 譬如拔菅草,執持鬆緩就會傷手, 沙門如果行為不端,就會墮入地獄之中。 譬如拔菅草,緊緊抓住就不會傷手, 沙門如果善於攝持,就能到達涅槃。』

當時,那個鬼神就放開了優婆夷的兒子。那時,優婆夷說了偈語告訴兒子:

『孩子你現在聽我說,聽那個鬼神所說, 如果有懈怠緩慢的修行,污染的苦行。 不清凈的梵行,他們得不到大的果報, 譬如拔菅草,執持鬆緩就會傷手。 沙門如果行為不端,就會墮入地獄之中, 如果緊緊抓住菅草,就不會傷到手。 沙門如果善於執持守護,就能證得涅槃。』

當時,優婆夷的兒子這樣覺悟之後,剃除了鬚髮,穿上袈裟,以正信離開了家,出家學道,心中卻不得安樂,又回到家中,母親遠遠地看見兒子,就說了偈語:

『捨棄世俗而出家,為何又回到村落, 像燒房子一樣急著拿出財物,難道又要投回火中嗎?』

他的兒子比丘說了偈語回答說:

『只是想到母親會去世,生死不能相見, 所以回來看看,為何見到兒子不高興呢?』

當時,母親優婆夷說了偈語回答說:

『捨棄慾望而出家,又想回到慾望的飲食中, 所以我憂愁悲傷,恐怕你會隨魔自在。』

這時,優婆夷這樣這樣地啓發她的兒子;這樣,她的兒子又回到空閑的地方,精勤地思惟,斷除了一切煩惱的束縛,證得了阿羅漢果。

(一三二六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在摩竭提國人間游化,到了阿臘鬼的住處過夜。

當時,阿臘鬼**眾鬼神。當時,有一個竭曇鬼看見世尊在阿臘鬼的住處過夜。

English version The Forty-Ninth Scroll of the Samyukta Agama Sutra Taisho Tripitaka Volume 02, No. 0099, Samyukta Agama Sutra

The Fiftieth Scroll of the Samyukta Agama Sutra

Translated by Tripitaka Gunabhadra of the Song Dynasty from India

(1325)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha.

At that time, there was a female lay disciple's son who, having taken the eight precepts, immediately broke them and was possessed by a ghost.

Then, the female lay disciple spoke a verse:

'On the fourteenth and fifteenth days, and the eighth day of the month, In the month of miraculous auspiciousness, the eight precepts are well and rightly received, One who observes the precepts will not be possessed by ghosts, I have asked many times, and the World Honored One said this.'

Then, that ghost spoke a verse:

'On the fourteenth and fifteenth days, and the eighth day of the month, In the month of miraculous auspiciousness, the eight precepts are correctly received. Dwelling in purity of fasting, guarding the virtue of precepts well, One will not be toyed with by ghosts, this is good, heard from the Buddha. You should say 'release', and I will release your son. Those who are slow and lax in their practice, who defile their ascetic practices, Whose pure conduct is not pure, will ultimately not attain great results. It is like pulling up cogon grass, if you hold it loosely, you will hurt your hand, A monk who engages in evil deeds will fall into hell. It is like pulling up cogon grass, if you grasp it tightly, you will not hurt your hand, A monk who is well-controlled will reach Nirvana.'

Then, that ghost released the female lay disciple's son. At that time, the female lay disciple spoke a verse to her son:

'My son, now listen to me, listen to what that ghost said, If there is slow and lax practice, defiled ascetic practices, Impure pure conduct, they will not attain great results, It is like pulling up cogon grass, if you hold it loosely, you will hurt your hand. A monk who engages in evil deeds will fall into hell, If you grasp the cogon grass tightly, you will not hurt your hand. A monk who is well-controlled and guarded will attain Nirvana.'

At that time, the female lay disciple's son, having awakened in this way, shaved his head and beard, put on the monastic robe, with right faith left home, became a monk, but his mind was not at peace, and he returned home. His mother saw him from afar and spoke a verse:

'Having left the world to become a monk, why have you returned to the village, Like rushing to take out possessions from a burning house, are you returning to the fire?'

His son, the monk, spoke a verse in reply:

'I only thought that my mother would die, and we would not see each other in life and death, So I came back to see you, why are you not happy to see your son?'

Then, the mother, the female lay disciple, spoke a verse in reply:

'Having given up desires to become a monk, you want to return to the food of desires, Therefore, I am worried and sad, fearing that you will be under the control of Mara.'

At that time, the female lay disciple enlightened her son in this way; and in this way, her son returned to a secluded place, diligently contemplated, cut off all the bonds of afflictions, and attained the fruit of Arhatship.

(1326)

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the human realm of Magadha, and he stayed overnight at the dwelling place of the Alaka ghost.

At that time, the Alaka ghost **gathered the ghosts. At that time, a ghost named Khetama saw the World Honored One staying overnight at the dwelling place of the Alaka ghost.


。見已,至阿臘鬼所,語阿臘鬼言:「聚落主!汝獲大利,如來宿汝住處。」

阿臘鬼言:「生人今日在我舍住耶?今當令知,為是如來?為非如來?」

時,阿臘鬼諸鬼神聚會畢,還歸自家,語世尊曰:「出去!沙門!」

爾時,世尊以他家故,即出其舍。

阿臘鬼復言:「沙門!來入!」佛即還入。以滅慢故,如是再三。

時,阿臘鬼第四復語世尊言:「沙門!出去!」

爾時,世尊語阿臘鬼言:「聚落主!已三見請,今不復出。」

阿臘鬼言:「今問沙門,沙門答我,能令我喜者善;不能令我喜者,我當壞其心,裂其胸,亦令熱血從其面出,執持兩手擲著恒水彼岸!」

世尊告言:「聚落主!我不見諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人,有能壞我心,裂我胸,令我熱血從面而出,執持兩手擲著恒水彼岸者。然,聚落主!汝今但問,當爲汝說。令汝心喜。」

時,阿臘鬼說偈問佛:

「說何等名為,  勝士夫事物?  行於何等法,  得安樂果報?  何等為美味?  云何壽中勝?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「凈信為最勝,  士夫之事物,  行法得樂果,  解脫味中上,  智慧除老死,  是為壽中勝。」

時,阿臘鬼復說偈言:

「云何得名稱?」  如上所說偈。

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「持戒名稱流。」  如上所說偈。

時,阿臘鬼復說偈言:

「幾法起世間?  幾法相順可?  世幾法取受?  世幾法損減?」

爾時,世尊以偈答言:

「世六法等起,  六法相順可,  世六法取受,  世六法損減。」

阿臘鬼復說偈問佛:

「誰能度諸流,  晝夜勤方便?  無攀無住處,  孰能不沉沒?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「一切戒具足,  智慧善正受,  正念內思惟,  能度難度流。  不樂於五欲,  亦超度色愛,  無攀無住處,  是能不沒溺。」

時,阿臘鬼復說偈問佛:

「以何法度流?  以何度大海?  以何舍離苦?  以何得清凈?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「以信度河流,  不放逸度海,  精進能除苦,  以慧得清凈

看見后,(他們)到了阿臘鬼的住所,對阿臘鬼說:『聚落主!你獲得了大利益,如來在你住的地方過夜。』 阿臘鬼說:『今天有活人住在我家嗎?現在我將讓他知道,他到底是如來,還是不是如來?』 當時,阿臘鬼的眾鬼神聚會完畢,回到自己家中,對世尊說:『出去!沙門!』 那時,世尊因為是住在別人家,就離開了他的住所。 阿臘鬼又說:『沙門!進來!』佛就又進去了。因為要滅除他的傲慢,像這樣反覆了三次。 當時,阿臘鬼第四次對世尊說:『沙門!出去!』 那時,世尊對阿臘鬼說:『聚落主!我已經三次應你的請求,現在不會再出去了。』 阿臘鬼說:『現在我要問沙門,沙門如果能回答讓我高興,那就好;如果不能讓我高興,我就要破壞他的心,撕裂他的胸膛,還要讓熱血從他的臉上流出來,抓住他的雙手扔到恒河的對岸!』 世尊告訴他說:『聚落主!我沒有看到諸天、魔、梵、沙門、婆羅門、天神、世人,有誰能破壞我的心,撕裂我的胸膛,讓我熱血從臉上流出來,抓住我的雙手扔到恒河的對岸。但是,聚落主!你現在儘管問,我將為你解答,讓你心生歡喜。』 當時,阿臘鬼用偈語問佛: 『說什麼叫做, 勝士夫的事物? 修行什麼法, 能得到安樂的果報? 什麼是最美味的? 什麼在壽命中最殊勝?』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『凈信是最殊勝, 是士夫的事物, 修行正法得樂果, 解脫是美味中的上品, 智慧能除老和死, 這是壽命中最殊勝。』 當時,阿臘鬼又用偈語說: 『如何才能獲得名聲?』 就像上面所說的偈語。 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『持戒能使名聲流傳。』 就像上面所說的偈語。 當時,阿臘鬼又用偈語說: 『世間由幾種法生起? 幾種法是相互順應的? 世間由幾種法攝取? 世間由幾種法損減?』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『世間由六種法生起, 六種法是相互順應的, 世間由六種法攝取, 世間由六種法損減。』 阿臘鬼又用偈語問佛: 『誰能度過諸河流, 日夜勤奮方便? 沒有攀緣沒有住處, 誰能不沉沒?』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『一切戒律都具足, 智慧善於正確領受, 正念在內心思維, 能度過難以度過的河流。 不貪戀五欲, 也超越了對色慾的愛, 沒有攀緣沒有住處, 這樣才能不沉沒。』 當時,阿臘鬼又用偈語問佛: 『用什麼法度過河流? 用什麼度過大海? 用什麼舍離痛苦? 用什麼得到清凈?』 那時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『用信心度過河流, 用不放逸度過大海, 精進能去除痛苦, 用智慧得到清凈。』

Having seen this, they arrived at the dwelling of Alavaka, and said to Alavaka, 'Lord of the village! You have gained a great benefit, for the Tathagata will stay at your place.' Alavaka said, 'Is a living person staying in my house today? Now I shall make him know, whether he is the Tathagata or not the Tathagata?' At that time, the assembly of Alavaka's spirits having concluded, they returned to their own homes, and said to the World-Honored One, 'Get out! Shramana!' Then, because the World-Honored One was in another's house, he left his dwelling. Alavaka again said, 'Shramana! Come in!' The Buddha then went back in. Because he wanted to subdue his arrogance, he did this three times. Then, for the fourth time, Alavaka said to the World-Honored One, 'Shramana! Get out!' At that time, the World-Honored One said to Alavaka, 'Lord of the village! I have already complied with your request three times, now I will not go out again.' Alavaka said, 'Now I will ask the Shramana, if the Shramana can answer and make me happy, that is good; if he cannot make me happy, I will destroy his heart, tear his chest, and also make hot blood flow from his face, seize his two hands and throw him to the other side of the Ganges!' The World-Honored One told him, 'Lord of the village! I have not seen any gods, demons, Brahmas, Shramanas, Brahmins, deities, or people in the world who can destroy my heart, tear my chest, make hot blood flow from my face, seize my two hands and throw me to the other side of the Ganges. However, Lord of the village! You may ask now, and I will answer you, so that you will be pleased.' At that time, Alavaka asked the Buddha in verse: 'What is called the, possession of a superior man? Practicing what dharma, can one obtain the fruit of happiness? What is the most delicious? What is the most excellent in life?' Then, the World-Honored One answered in verse: 'Pure faith is the most excellent, It is the possession of a superior man, Practicing the Dharma obtains the fruit of happiness, Liberation is the best of flavors, Wisdom removes old age and death, This is the most excellent in life.' At that time, Alavaka again said in verse: 'How can one obtain fame?' Like the verse mentioned above. Then, the World-Honored One answered in verse: 'Maintaining precepts makes fame flow.' Like the verse mentioned above. At that time, Alavaka again said in verse: 'By how many dharmas does the world arise? How many dharmas are mutually agreeable? By how many dharmas is the world taken? By how many dharmas is the world diminished?' Then, the World-Honored One answered in verse: 'The world arises by six dharmas, Six dharmas are mutually agreeable, The world is taken by six dharmas, The world is diminished by six dharmas.' Alavaka again asked the Buddha in verse: 'Who can cross the streams, Diligently striving day and night? Without clinging, without a dwelling place, Who can avoid sinking?' Then, the World-Honored One answered in verse: 'Having all precepts complete, Wisdom well received, Right mindfulness in inner contemplation, Can cross the difficult streams. Not delighting in the five desires, Also transcending the love of form, Without clinging, without a dwelling place, This is how one does not sink.' At that time, Alavaka again asked the Buddha in verse: 'By what dharma does one cross the stream? By what does one cross the great ocean? By what does one abandon suffering? By what does one obtain purity?' Then, the World-Honored One answered in verse: 'By faith one crosses the river, By non-negligence one crosses the ocean, Effort can remove suffering, By wisdom one obtains purity.'


。  汝當更問余,  沙門梵志法,  其法無有過,  真諦施調伏。」

時,阿臘鬼復說偈問佛:

「何煩更問余,  沙門梵志法,  即曰最勝士,  以顯大法炬。  于彼竭曇摩,  常當報其恩,  告我等正覺,  無上導御師。  我即日當行,  從村而至村,  親侍等正覺,  聽受所說法。」

佛說此經已,阿臘鬼歡喜隨喜,作禮而去。

(一三二七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有叔迦羅比丘尼住王園比丘尼眾中,為王舍城諸人恭敬供養,如阿羅漢。

又於一時,王舍城人於一吉星日歡集大會,即於是日闕不供養。有一鬼神,敬重彼比丘尼故,至王舍城裡巷之中,家家說偈:

「王舍城人民,  醉酒眠睡臥,  不勤供養彼,  叔迦比丘尼。  善修諸根故,  名曰叔迦羅,  善說離垢法,  涅槃清涼處。  隨順聽所說,  終日樂無厭,  乘聽法智慧,  得度生死流。  猶如海商人,  依附力馬王。」

時,一優婆塞以衣佈施叔迦羅比丘尼,復有優婆塞以食供養。

時,彼鬼神即說偈言:

「智慧優婆塞,  獲福利豐多,  施叔迦羅衣,  離諸煩惱故。  智慧優婆塞,  獲福利豐多,  施叔迦羅食,  離諸積聚故。」

時,彼鬼神說斯偈已,即沒不現。

(一三二八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,毗羅比丘尼住王舍城王園比丘尼眾中,為王舍城諸人民,于吉星日集聚大會,當斯之日,毗羅比丘尼無人供養。

時,有鬼神敬重毗羅比丘尼,即入王舍城,處處里巷四衢道頭而說偈言:

「王舍城人民,  醉酒惛睡臥,  毗羅比丘尼,  無人供養者。  毗羅比丘尼,  勇猛修諸根,  善說離垢塵,  涅槃清涼法。  皆隨順所說,  終日樂無厭,  乘聽法智慧,  得度生死流。」

時,有一優婆塞持衣佈施毗羅比丘尼,復有一優婆塞以食供養。

時,彼鬼神而說偈言:

「智慧優婆塞,  今獲多福利,  以衣施斷縛,  毗羅比丘尼

『你應該再問我,關於沙門和婆羅門的教法,他們的教法沒有過失,真理在於調伏自身。』 當時,阿臘鬼又說偈語問佛: 『何必再問我,關於沙門和婆羅門的教法,您就是最殊勝的人,能顯明大法炬。對於您,喬達摩,我應當常常報答您的恩情,您告訴我們正覺,是無上的導師。我今天就將出發,從一個村莊到另一個村莊,親自侍奉等正覺,聽受您所說的法。』 佛說完這部經后,阿臘鬼歡喜隨喜,作禮離去。 (一三二七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有叔迦羅比丘尼住在王園比丘尼僧團中,受到王舍城人們的恭敬供養,如同阿羅漢一般。 又在某個時候,王舍城的人們在一個吉星日歡聚大會,就在這一天,他們沒有供養。有一個鬼神,因為敬重那位比丘尼,來到王舍城的街巷中,挨家挨戶地說偈語: 『王舍城的人民啊,你們都醉酒昏睡,不勤于供養那位叔迦比丘尼。她善於修習諸根,名叫叔迦羅,善於宣說離垢之法,那是涅槃清涼的境界。隨順聽聞她所說的法,整天都樂此不疲,憑藉聽法的智慧,就能度脫生死輪迴。就像海上的商人,依靠強壯的馬王一樣。』 當時,一位優婆塞用衣服佈施給叔迦羅比丘尼,又有一位優婆塞用食物供養。 當時,那個鬼神就說偈語: 『有智慧的優婆塞,獲得了豐厚的福報,因為佈施衣服給叔迦羅,得以遠離各種煩惱。有智慧的優婆塞,獲得了豐厚的福報,因為佈施食物給叔迦羅,得以遠離各種積聚。』 當時,那個鬼神說完這些偈語后,就消失不見了。 (一三二八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,毗羅比丘尼住在王舍城王園比丘尼僧團中,王舍城的人們在吉星日集會,在那一天,毗羅比丘尼沒有人供養。 當時,有一個鬼神敬重毗羅比丘尼,就進入王舍城,在各處街巷和十字路口說偈語: 『王舍城的人民啊,你們都醉酒昏睡,毗羅比丘尼,沒有人供養她。毗羅比丘尼,勇猛地修習諸根,善於宣說離垢之塵,那是涅槃清涼之法。大家都隨順她所說的法,整天都樂此不疲,憑藉聽法的智慧,就能度脫生死輪迴。』 當時,有一位優婆塞拿著衣服佈施給毗羅比丘尼,又有一位優婆塞用食物供養。 當時,那個鬼神就說偈語: 『有智慧的優婆塞,今天獲得了許多福報,因為用衣服佈施給斷除束縛的毗羅比丘尼。

'You should ask me again about the teachings of the ascetics and Brahmins. Their teachings have no faults; the truth lies in self-discipline.' Then, the Alaka demon again spoke in verse, asking the Buddha: 'Why ask me again about the teachings of the ascetics and Brahmins? You are the most excellent one, capable of revealing the great Dharma torch. To you, Gotama, I should always repay your kindness. You have told us of the Right Awakening, you are the unsurpassed guide. Today I will set out, from village to village, to personally serve the Rightly Awakened One, and listen to the Dharma you teach.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Alaka demon rejoiced and, paying respects, departed. (1327) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, there was a bhikkhuni named Sukara residing in the nunnery of the King's Garden in Rajagaha. She was revered and supported by the people of Rajagaha, as if she were an Arhat. And at another time, the people of Rajagaha gathered for a festival on an auspicious star day. On that day, they did not offer alms. A spirit, out of respect for that bhikkhuni, went into the streets and alleys of Rajagaha, speaking verses from house to house: 'O people of Rajagaha, you are all drunk and asleep, not diligently offering alms to that bhikkhuni, Sukara. She is skilled in cultivating her faculties, named Sukara, skilled in expounding the Dharma of detachment, which is the cool realm of Nirvana. Following and listening to her teachings, one is joyful all day long, and through the wisdom of listening to the Dharma, one can cross the stream of birth and death. Like a merchant at sea, relying on a strong king of horses.' At that time, one upasaka offered clothing to bhikkhuni Sukara, and another upasaka offered food. At that time, that spirit spoke in verse: 'The wise upasaka has obtained abundant merit, for offering clothing to Sukara, thus being freed from all afflictions. The wise upasaka has obtained abundant merit, for offering food to Sukara, thus being freed from all accumulations.' Then, after speaking these verses, that spirit disappeared. (1328) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagaha. At that time, the bhikkhuni Vira was residing in the nunnery of the King's Garden in Rajagaha. The people of Rajagaha gathered on an auspicious star day, and on that day, no one offered alms to bhikkhuni Vira. At that time, a spirit, out of respect for bhikkhuni Vira, entered Rajagaha and spoke verses at various streets, alleys, and crossroads: 'O people of Rajagaha, you are all drunk and asleep, and no one offers alms to bhikkhuni Vira. Bhikkhuni Vira, courageously cultivates her faculties, is skilled in expounding the Dharma of detachment from defilements, which is the cool Dharma of Nirvana. Everyone follows her teachings, and is joyful all day long, and through the wisdom of listening to the Dharma, one can cross the stream of birth and death.' At that time, one upasaka offered clothing to bhikkhuni Vira, and another upasaka offered food. At that time, that spirit spoke in verse: 'The wise upasaka has obtained much merit today, for offering clothing to bhikkhuni Vira, who has broken her bonds.'


。  智慧優婆塞,  今獲多福利,  食施毗羅尼,  離諸和合故。」

時,彼鬼神說偈已,即沒不現。

(一三二九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有娑多耆利天神、醯魔波低天神共作約誓:「若其宮中有寶物出者,必當相語;不相語者,得違約罪。」

時,醯魔波低天神宮中有未曾有寶,波曇摩華出,華有千葉,大如車輪,金色寶莖。

時,醯魔波低天神遣使告語娑多耆利:「聚落主!今我宮中忽生未曾有寶,波曇摩花,華有千葉,大如車輪,金色寶莖,可來觀看!」

娑多耆利天神遣使詣醯魔波低舍,告言:「聚落主!用是波曇摩百千為?今我宮中有未曾有寶——大波曇摩出,所謂如來、應、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊,汝便可來奉事供養。」

時,醯魔波低天神即與五百眷屬往詣娑多耆利天神所,說偈問言:

「十五日良時,  天夜遇歡會,  當說受何齋,  從阿羅漢受。」

時,娑多耆利說偈答言:

「今日佛世尊,  在摩竭勝國,  住于王舍城,  迦蘭陀竹園,  演說微妙法,  滅除眾生苦,  苦苦及苦集,  苦滅盡作證,  八聖出苦道,  安隱趣涅槃,  當往設供養,  我羅漢世尊。」

醯魔波低說偈問言:

「彼有心願樂,  慈濟眾生不,  彼于受不受,  心想平等不?」

娑多耆利說偈答言:

「彼妙愿慈心,  度一切眾生,  于諸受不受,  心想常平等。」

時,醯魔波低說偈問言:

「為具足明達,  已行成就不,  諸漏永滅盡,  不受後有耶?」

娑多耆利說偈答言:

「明達善具足,  正行已成就,  諸漏永已盡,  不復受後有。」

醯摩波低說偈問言:

「牟尼意行滿,  及身口業耶?  明行悉具足,  以法讚歎耶?」

娑多耆利說偈答言:

「具足牟尼心,  及業身口滿,  明行悉具足,  以法而讚歎

『有智慧的優婆塞,現在獲得了許多福報,因為他佈施食物給毗羅尼,遠離了各種和合的束縛。』 當時,那個鬼神說完偈語后,就消失不見了。 (一三二九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有娑多耆利天神和醯摩波低天神共同約定:『如果誰的宮殿里出現寶物,一定要互相告知;不告知者,就犯了違約的罪。』 當時,醯摩波低天神的宮殿里出現了一件前所未有的寶物,一朵波曇摩花開了出來,這花有千片花瓣,大如車輪,花莖是金色的。 當時,醯摩波低天神派遣使者告訴娑多耆利:『聚落主!現在我的宮殿里忽然出現了一件前所未有的寶物,一朵波曇摩花,這花有千片花瓣,大如車輪,花莖是金色的,你可以來觀看!』 娑多耆利天神派遣使者前往醯摩波低的住所,告訴他說:『聚落主!要這成百上千的波曇摩花有什麼用呢?現在我的宮殿里出現了一件前所未有的寶物——曇摩,那就是如來、應供、正等覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛世尊,你應當前來奉事供養。』 當時,醯摩波低天神就帶著五百眷屬前往娑多耆利天神那裡,用偈語問道: 『在十五日良辰,天夜歡聚之時,應當受持什麼齋戒,從阿羅漢那裡受持?』 當時,娑多耆利用偈語回答說: 『今日佛世尊,在摩竭勝國,住在王舍城,迦蘭陀竹園,演說微妙的佛法,滅除眾生的痛苦,苦、苦的生起、苦的滅盡,以及證得苦滅的境界,八聖道是出離痛苦的道路,安穩地趨向涅槃,應當前去供養,我的阿羅漢世尊。』 醯摩波低用偈語問道: 『他有慈悲的願望,願意救濟眾生嗎?他對接受供養和不接受供養,心想平等嗎?』 娑多耆利用偈語回答說: 『他有美好的願望和慈悲心,度化一切眾生,對於接受供養和不接受供養,他的心念總是平等。』 當時,醯摩波低用偈語問道: 『他是否具足了明智和通達,已經修行成就了嗎?他的各種煩惱是否已經永遠滅盡,不再受後世的果報了嗎?』 娑多耆利用偈語回答說: 『他的明智通達已經圓滿具足,正行已經成就,各種煩惱已經永遠滅盡,不再受後世的果報。』 醯摩波低用偈語問道: 『牟尼的意念、行為是否圓滿,身口意業是否清凈?他的明行是否都已具足,可以用佛法來讚歎他嗎?』 娑多耆利用偈語回答說: 『牟尼的心念已經圓滿,身口意業也已清凈,他的明行都已具足,可以用佛法來讚歎他。』

'A wise Upasaka, now obtains much merit, because he gave food to the Vairani, and is separated from all combinations.' At that time, after the ghost god spoke the verse, he disappeared. (1329) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Karanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the gods Satagiri and Hemavati made an agreement: 'If any treasure appears in either of our palaces, we must inform each other; if we do not inform each other, we will be guilty of breaking the agreement.' At that time, an unprecedented treasure appeared in the palace of the god Hemavati, a Padmaka flower bloomed, with a thousand petals, as large as a chariot wheel, and a golden stem. At that time, the god Hemavati sent a messenger to inform Satagiri: 'Lord of the village! Now, an unprecedented treasure has suddenly appeared in my palace, a Padmaka flower, with a thousand petals, as large as a chariot wheel, and a golden stem, you can come and see!' The god Satagiri sent a messenger to Hemavati's residence, saying: 'Lord of the village! What use are hundreds and thousands of these Padmaka flowers? Now, an unprecedented treasure has appeared in my palace—the Dharma, namely the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha, Vidyacharana-sampanna, Sugata, Lokavidu, Anuttara-purusa-damya-sarathi, Shasta deva-manushyanam, Buddha-Bhagavan, you should come and serve and make offerings.' At that time, the god Hemavati, along with five hundred attendants, went to the god Satagiri and asked in verse: 'On the auspicious fifteenth day, when the night of the gods is joyful, what precepts should one receive, and from which Arhat should one receive them?' At that time, Satagiri answered in verse: 'Today, the Buddha, the World Honored One, is in the victorious country of Magadha, dwelling in Rajagriha, in the Karanda Bamboo Grove, expounding the subtle Dharma, eliminating the suffering of sentient beings, suffering, the arising of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the realization of the cessation of suffering, the Eightfold Noble Path is the path to liberation from suffering, peacefully leading to Nirvana, we should go and make offerings to my Arhat, the World Honored One.' Hemavati asked in verse: 'Does he have the compassionate wish to save all beings? Is his mind equal towards those who accept offerings and those who do not?' Satagiri answered in verse: 'He has a wonderful wish and a compassionate heart, to liberate all beings, and his mind is always equal towards those who accept offerings and those who do not.' At that time, Hemavati asked in verse: 'Has he fully attained wisdom and understanding, and has he accomplished his practice? Have all his defilements been completely extinguished, and will he not receive future existence?' Satagiri answered in verse: 'His wisdom and understanding are fully complete, his right practice has been accomplished, all his defilements have been completely extinguished, and he will not receive future existence.' Hemavati asked in verse: 'Are the Muni's thoughts and actions complete, and are his actions of body, speech, and mind pure? Are his wisdom and conduct fully complete, and can he be praised with the Dharma?' Satagiri answered in verse: 'The Muni's thoughts are complete, and his actions of body, speech, and mind are pure, his wisdom and conduct are fully complete, and he can be praised with the Dharma.'


。」

醯摩波低說偈問言:

「遠離於害生,  不與不取不,  為遠於放蕩,  不離禪思不?」

娑多耆利復說偈言:

「常不害眾生,  不與不妄取,  遠離於放蕩,  日夜常思禪。」

醯魔波低復說偈問言:

「為不樂五欲,  心不濁亂不,  有清凈法眼,  滅盡愚癡不?」

娑多耆利說偈答言:

「心常不樂欲,  亦無濁亂心,  佛法眼清凈,  愚癡盡無餘。」

醯魔波低復說偈問言:

「至誠不妄語,  粗澀言無有,  得無別離說,  無不誠說不?」

娑多耆利說偈答言:

「至誠不妄語,  亦無粗澀言,  不離他親厚,  常說如法言。」

醯摩波低復說偈問言:

「為持清凈戒,  正念寂滅不,  具足等解脫,  如來大智不?」

娑多耆利說偈答言:

「凈戒悉具足,  正念常寂靜,  等解脫成就,  得如來大智。」

醯魔波低復說偈問言:

「明達悉具足,  正行已清凈,  所有諸漏盡,  不復受後有。」

娑多耆利說偈答言:

「明達悉具足,  正行已清凈,  一切諸漏盡,  無復後生有。」

醯魔波低復說偈言:

「牟尼善心具,  及身口業跡,  明行悉成就,  故讚歎其法。」

娑多耆利說偈答言:

「牟尼善心具,  及身口業跡,  明行悉成就,  讚歎于其法。」

醯魔波低復說偈言:

「伊尼延鹿𨄔,  仙人之勝相,  少食捨身貪,  牟尼處林禪,  汝今當共行,  敬禮彼瞿曇。」

時,有百千鬼神眷屬圍繞,娑多耆利、醯魔波低速至佛前禮拜供養,整衣服,偏袒右肩,合掌敬禮,而說偈言:

「伊尼延鹿𨄔,  仙人之勝相,  少食無貪嗜,  牟尼樂林禪。  我等今故來,  請問于瞿曇,  師子獨遊步,  大龍無恐畏。  今故來請問,  牟尼愿決疑,  云何得出苦?  云何苦解脫?  唯愿說解脫,  苦於何所滅?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「世五欲功德,  及說第六意,  于彼欲無貪,  解脫一切苦。  如是從苦出,  如是解脫苦,  今答汝所問,  苦從此而滅

現代漢語譯本 醯摩波低以偈語問道: 『遠離傷害眾生,不給予也不拿取,爲了遠離放蕩,不離禪定嗎?』 娑多耆利也以偈語回答: 『常常不傷害眾生,不給予也不妄取,遠離放蕩,日夜常常思禪。』 醯摩波低又以偈語問道: 『不貪戀五欲,內心不渾濁混亂嗎?有清凈的法眼,滅盡愚癡嗎?』 娑多耆利以偈語回答: 『內心常常不貪戀慾望,也沒有渾濁混亂的心,佛法之眼清凈,愚癡完全滅盡。』 醯摩波低又以偈語問道: 『至誠不妄語,粗暴的話語沒有嗎?沒有離間挑撥的言語,沒有不誠實的話語嗎?』 娑多耆利以偈語回答: 『至誠不妄語,也沒有粗暴的話語,不離間他人的親密關係,常常說符合佛法的話語。』 醯摩波低又以偈語問道: 『持守清凈的戒律,正念寂靜嗎?具足等同的解脫,擁有如來的大智慧嗎?』 娑多耆利以偈語回答: 『清凈的戒律全部具足,正念常常寂靜,等同的解脫成就,得到如來的大智慧。』 醯摩波低又以偈語問道: 『明達全部具足,正行已經清凈,所有煩惱都已斷盡,不再受後世的輪迴嗎?』 娑多耆利以偈語回答: 『明達全部具足,正行已經清凈,一切煩惱都已斷盡,不再有後世的輪迴。』 醯摩波低又以偈語說道: 『牟尼善心具足,以及身口的行為,明智和修行都已成就,所以讚歎他的佛法。』 娑多耆利以偈語回答: 『牟尼善心具足,以及身口的行為,明智和修行都已成就,讚歎他的佛法。』 醯摩波低又以偈語說道: 『伊尼延鹿的足跡,是仙人殊勝的象徵,少食捨棄身體的貪慾,牟尼在林中禪定,你現在應當一起去,敬禮那位瞿曇。』 當時,有成百上千的鬼神眷屬圍繞,娑多耆利、醯摩波低迅速來到佛前禮拜供養,整理衣服,袒露右肩,合掌敬禮,並以偈語說道: 『伊尼延鹿的足跡,是仙人殊勝的象徵,少食沒有貪慾,牟尼喜歡在林中禪定。我們現在特意前來,請問于瞿曇,像獅子一樣獨自行走,像大龍一樣無所畏懼。現在特意前來請問,牟尼希望您能解答我們的疑惑,如何才能脫離痛苦?如何才能解脫痛苦?希望您能說出解脫之道,痛苦在何處滅盡?』 這時,世尊以偈語回答: 『世間的五欲功德,以及所說的第六種意念,對於這些慾望沒有貪戀,就能解脫一切痛苦。如此才能脫離痛苦,如此才能解脫痛苦,現在回答你們的問題,痛苦就是這樣滅盡的。』

English version Hema-padi asked in verse: 'Avoiding harm to living beings, not giving nor taking, to be far from indulgence, not to leave meditation?' Satagiri replied in verse: 'Always not harming living beings, not giving nor taking wrongly, far from indulgence, day and night always contemplating meditation.' Hema-padi again asked in verse: 'Not delighting in the five desires, is the mind not turbid and confused? Having the pure Dharma eye, is ignorance extinguished?' Satagiri replied in verse: 'The mind always does not delight in desires, also there is no turbid and confused mind, the Dharma eye is pure, ignorance is completely extinguished.' Hema-padi again asked in verse: 'Sincere and not lying, are there no harsh words? No divisive speech, no insincere words?' Satagiri replied in verse: 'Sincere and not lying, also no harsh words, not separating others' close relationships, always speaking in accordance with the Dharma.' Hema-padi again asked in verse: 'Holding pure precepts, is mindfulness tranquil? Fully possessing equal liberation, like the great wisdom of the Tathagata?' Satagiri replied in verse: 'Pure precepts are all fully possessed, mindfulness is always tranquil, equal liberation is achieved, obtaining the great wisdom of the Tathagata.' Hema-padi again asked in verse: 'Clear understanding is fully possessed, right conduct is already pure, all defilements are exhausted, no longer receiving future existence?' Satagiri replied in verse: 'Clear understanding is fully possessed, right conduct is already pure, all defilements are exhausted, no longer having future existence.' Hema-padi again said in verse: 'Muni's good heart is complete, as well as the actions of body and mouth, wisdom and practice are all accomplished, therefore praising his Dharma.' Satagiri replied in verse: 'Muni's good heart is complete, as well as the actions of body and mouth, wisdom and practice are all accomplished, praising his Dharma.' Hema-padi again said in verse: 'The footprints of the Eneya deer, are the auspicious signs of a sage, eating little and abandoning bodily greed, Muni meditates in the forest, you should now go together, to pay homage to that Gautama.' At that time, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of ghost and spirit attendants, Satagiri and Hema-padi quickly arrived before the Buddha, bowed in worship and made offerings, arranged their clothes, bared their right shoulders, joined their palms in reverence, and said in verse: 'The footprints of the Eneya deer, are the auspicious signs of a sage, eating little without greed, Muni delights in forest meditation. We have now come specifically, to ask of Gautama, like a lion walking alone, like a great dragon without fear. Now we come specifically to ask, Muni, we hope you can resolve our doubts, how can one escape suffering? How can one be liberated from suffering? We hope you can speak of the path to liberation, where does suffering cease?' At that time, the World Honored One replied in verse: 'The merits of the five desires of the world, and the sixth thought that is spoken of, not being greedy for these desires, one can be liberated from all suffering. Thus one can escape suffering, thus one can be liberated from suffering, now answering your question, suffering ceases in this way.'

娑多耆利、醯魔波低復說偈問佛:

「泉從何轉還,  惡道何不轉,  世間諸苦樂,  於何而滅盡?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「眼耳鼻舌身,  及以意入處,  于彼名及色,  永滅盡無餘。  于彼泉轉還,  于彼道不轉,  于彼苦及樂,  得無餘滅盡。」

娑多耆利、醯魔波低復說偈問佛:

「世間幾法起?  幾法世和合?  幾法取受世?  幾法令世滅?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「六法起世間,  六法世和合,  六法取受世,  六法世損滅。」

娑多耆利、醯魔波低復說偈問:

「云何度諸流,  日夜勤方便,  無攀無住處,  而不溺深淵?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「一切戒具足,  智慧善正受,  如思惟繫念,  是能度深淵。  不樂諸欲想,  亦超色諸結,  無攀無住處,  不溺於深淵。」

娑多耆利、醯魔波低復說偈問佛:

「何法度諸流?  以何度大海?  云何舍離苦?  云何得清凈?」

爾時,世尊說偈答言:

「正信度河流,  不放逸度海,  精進能斷苦,  智慧得清凈。」

爾時,世尊復說偈言:

「汝可更問余,  沙門梵志法,  真實施調伏,  除此更無法。」

醯魔波低復說偈言:

「更余何所問,  沙門梵志法,  大精進今日,  已具善開導。  我今當報彼,  娑多耆利恩,  能以導御師,  告語於我等。  我當詣村村,  家家而隨佛,  承事禮供養,  從佛聞正法。  此百千鬼神,  悉合掌恭敬,  一切歸依佛,  牟尼之大師。  得無上之名,  必見真實義,  成就大智慧,  于欲不染著。  慧者當觀察,  救護世間者,  得賢聖道跡,  是則大仙人。」

佛說是經已,娑多耆利、醯魔波低及諸眷屬五百鬼神聞佛所說,皆大歡喜,隨喜禮佛而去。

(一三三〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,尊者舍利弗、尊者大目揵連住耆阇崛山中。

時,尊者舍利弗新剃鬚發。時,有伽吒及優波伽吒鬼

現代漢語譯本 娑多耆利和醯魔波低再次用偈語問佛: 『泉水從何處迴流?惡道為何不迴轉?世間所有的苦樂,在何處才能滅盡?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『眼、耳、鼻、舌、身,以及意這六種入處,對於它們所對應的名和色,能夠永遠滅盡,不留餘地。泉水在那裡迴流,惡道在那裡不迴轉,苦和樂在那裡,能夠得到完全的滅盡。』 娑多耆利和醯魔波低再次用偈語問佛: 『世間由幾種法生起?幾種法使世間和合?幾種法執取世間?幾種法使世間滅亡?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『六種法使世間生起,六種法使世間和合,六種法執取世間,六種法使世間損滅。』 娑多耆利和醯魔波低再次用偈語問: 『如何才能度過諸流,日夜勤奮修行,沒有攀緣和住處,而不沉溺於深淵?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『一切戒律都具足,智慧能夠正確地領受,如理思維並繫念,這樣就能度過深淵。不貪戀各種慾望,也能超越色界的各種束縛,沒有攀緣和住處,就不會沉溺於深淵。』 娑多耆利和醯魔波低再次用偈語問佛: 『用什麼法才能度過諸流?用什麼才能度過大海?如何才能舍離痛苦?如何才能得到清凈?』 這時,世尊用偈語回答說: 『正信能夠度過河流,不放逸能夠度過大海,精進能夠斷除痛苦,智慧能夠得到清凈。』 這時,世尊又用偈語說: 『你們可以再問其他沙門和婆羅門所修的法,真正的修行是調伏,除此之外沒有其他方法。』 醯魔波低又用偈語說: 『還有什麼可問的呢?沙門和婆羅門所修的法,大精進的佛陀今天已經善巧地開導了。我今天應當報答娑多耆利的恩情,他能把導師引薦給我們。我將挨家挨戶地跟隨佛陀,承事禮拜供養,從佛陀那裡聽聞正法。這成百上千的鬼神,都合掌恭敬,一切都歸依佛陀,牟尼的大導師。得到無上的名號,必定能見到真實的意義,成就大智慧,對於慾望不執著。有智慧的人應當觀察,救護世間的人,得到賢聖的道跡,這就是大仙人。』 佛陀說完這部經后,娑多耆利、醯魔波低以及他們的眷屬五百鬼神,聽聞佛陀所說,都非常歡喜,隨喜禮佛后離去。 (一三三〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,尊者舍利弗和尊者大目犍連住在耆阇崛山中。 當時,尊者舍利弗剛剛剃了鬚髮。這時,有伽吒和優波伽吒兩個鬼

English version Then Sata Giri and Hema Bodhi again asked the Buddha in verses: 'From where does the spring turn back? Why do evil paths not turn back? Where do all the sufferings and joys of the world cease?' At that time, the World Honored One answered in verses: 'The eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and the mind, these six entrances, for their corresponding names and forms, can be completely extinguished without any remainder. There the spring turns back, there the evil paths do not turn back, there the suffering and joy can be completely extinguished.' Sata Giri and Hema Bodhi again asked the Buddha in verses: 'By how many dharmas does the world arise? By how many dharmas does the world unite? By how many dharmas does the world grasp? By how many dharmas does the world perish?' At that time, the World Honored One answered in verses: 'Six dharmas cause the world to arise, six dharmas cause the world to unite, six dharmas cause the world to grasp, six dharmas cause the world to perish.' Sata Giri and Hema Bodhi again asked in verses: 'How can one cross the streams, diligently practicing day and night, without clinging or dwelling, and not drown in the abyss?' At that time, the World Honored One answered in verses: 'When all precepts are fulfilled, wisdom is well received, and one contemplates and keeps mindfulness, then one can cross the abyss. Not delighting in desires, one also transcends the bonds of the form realm, without clinging or dwelling, one will not drown in the abyss.' Sata Giri and Hema Bodhi again asked the Buddha in verses: 'By what dharma can one cross the streams? By what can one cross the great ocean? How can one abandon suffering? How can one attain purity?' At that time, the World Honored One answered in verses: 'Right faith can cross the river, non-negligence can cross the ocean, diligence can cut off suffering, and wisdom can attain purity.' At that time, the World Honored One again said in verses: 'You can ask other questions about the practices of the Shramanas and Brahmins, true practice is about taming, there is no other way.' Hema Bodhi again said in verses: 'What else is there to ask? The practices of the Shramanas and Brahmins, the greatly diligent Buddha has already skillfully guided us today. Today I should repay Sata Giri's kindness, who has introduced the teacher to us. I will follow the Buddha from village to village, serving, bowing, and making offerings, and listening to the true Dharma from the Buddha. These hundreds and thousands of ghosts and spirits, all with palms together in reverence, all take refuge in the Buddha, the great teacher of Muni. Having obtained the supreme name, one will surely see the true meaning, achieve great wisdom, and not be attached to desires. The wise should observe, the one who protects the world, having obtained the path of the noble ones, is the great sage.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Sata Giri, Hema Bodhi, and their five hundred ghost and spirit retinue, having heard what the Buddha said, were all very happy, rejoiced, bowed to the Buddha, and departed. (1330) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, Venerable Shariputra and Venerable Maha Maudgalyayana were staying on Mount Gijjhakuta. At that time, Venerable Shariputra had just shaved his head and beard. At that time, there were two ghosts, Gata and Upagata.


。優波伽吒鬼見尊者舍利弗新剃鬚發,語伽吒鬼言:「我今當往打彼沙門頭。」

伽吒鬼言:「汝優波伽吒!莫作是語。此沙門大德大力,汝莫長夜得大不饒益苦!」如是再三說。

時,優波伽吒鬼再三不用伽吒鬼語,即以手打尊者舍利弗頭。打已,尋自喚言:「燒我,伽吒!煮我,伽吒!」再三喚已,陷入地中,墮阿毗地獄。

尊者大目揵連聞尊者舍利弗為鬼所打聲已,即往詣尊者舍利弗所,問尊者舍利弗言:「云何?尊者!苦痛可忍不?」

尊者舍利弗答言:「尊者大目揵連!雖復苦痛,意能堪忍,不至大苦。」

尊者大目揵連語尊者舍利弗言:「奇哉!尊者舍利弗!真為大德大力,此鬼若以手打耆阇崛山者,能令碎如糠糟,況復打人而不苦痛?」

爾時,尊者舍利弗語尊者大目揵連:「我實不大苦痛。」

時,尊者舍利弗、大目揵連共相慰勞。

時,世尊以天耳聞其語聲,聞已即說偈言:

「其心如剛石,  堅住不傾動,  染著心已離,  瞋者不反報,  若如此修心,  何有苦痛憂?」

佛說此經已,諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

(一三三一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有眾多比丘于拘薩羅國人間遊行,住一林中夏安居。彼林中有天神住,知十五日諸比丘受歲,極生憂戚。

有餘天神語彼天神言:「汝何卒生愁憂苦惱?汝當歡喜諸比丘持戒清凈,今日受歲。」

林中天神答言:「我知比丘今日受歲,不同無羞外道受歲,然精進比丘受歲,持衣缽,明日至余處去,此林當空。」

比丘去後,林中天神而說偈言:

「今我心不樂,  但見空林樹,  清凈心說法,  多聞諸比丘,  瞿曇之弟子,  今悉何處去?」

時,有異天子而說偈言:

「有至摩伽陀,  有至拘薩羅,  亦至金剛地,  處處修遠離,  猶如野禽獸,  隨所樂而游。」

(一三三二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,有異比丘在拘薩羅國人間,止住一林中,入晝正受,身體疲極,夜則睡眠

優波伽吒鬼看到尊者舍利弗新剃了鬚髮,對伽吒鬼說:『我現在要去打那個沙門的頭。』 伽吒鬼說:『你,優波伽吒!不要說這樣的話。這個沙門有大德行和大力量,你不要因此長久遭受巨大的不利和痛苦!』這樣說了再三。 當時,優波伽吒鬼再三不聽伽吒鬼的話,就用手打了尊者舍利弗的頭。打完后,立刻自己喊道:『燒我,伽吒!煮我,伽吒!』這樣喊了再三,就陷入地中,墮入了阿鼻地獄。 尊者大目犍連聽到尊者舍利弗被鬼打的聲音后,立刻前往尊者舍利弗那裡,問尊者舍利弗說:『怎麼樣?尊者!痛苦可以忍受嗎?』 尊者舍利弗回答說:『尊者大目犍連!雖然有些痛苦,但我的心能夠忍受,不至於感到極大的痛苦。』 尊者大目犍連對尊者舍利弗說:『真是奇特啊!尊者舍利弗!您真是具有大德行和大力量,這個鬼如果用手打耆阇崛山,都能讓它碎成糠糟,何況是打人而您卻不感到痛苦呢?』 當時,尊者舍利弗對尊者大目犍連說:『我確實沒有感到很大的痛苦。』 當時,尊者舍利弗和大目犍連互相慰問。 當時,世尊用天耳聽到了他們的談話聲,聽完后就說了偈語: 『其心如剛石,堅住不傾動,染著心已離,瞋者不反報,若如此修心,何有苦痛憂?』 佛說完這部經后,眾比丘聽了佛所說,歡喜地奉行。 (一三三一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有很多比丘在拘薩羅國人間游化,住在一片樹林中進行夏季安居。那片樹林中住著一位天神,他知道十五日比丘們要受歲,感到非常憂愁。 有另一位天神對那位天神說:『你為什麼突然感到如此憂愁苦惱?你應該歡喜,因為比丘們持戒清凈,今天受歲。』 林中的天神回答說:『我知道比丘們今天受歲,他們不像無羞恥的外道那樣受歲,但是精進的比丘們受歲后,拿著衣缽,明天就要到其他地方去了,這片樹林就要空了。』 比丘們離開后,林中的天神就說了偈語: 『現在我心中不樂,只看到空蕩蕩的樹林,清凈地說法,多聞的眾比丘,瞿曇的弟子們,現在都到哪裡去了呢?』 當時,有另一位天子說了偈語: 『有的去了摩伽陀,有的去了拘薩羅,也去了金剛地,到處修行遠離,就像野禽走獸一樣,隨自己喜歡的地方遊走。』 (一三三二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘在拘薩羅國人間,住在一片樹林中,白天入定,身體感到疲憊,晚上就睡覺了。

Upaghataka ghost saw Venerable Sariputta with his newly shaved head and hair, and said to Ghataka ghost: 'I am going to hit that shramana's head now.' Ghataka ghost said: 'You, Upaghataka! Do not say such things. This shramana has great virtue and great power, do not cause yourself great disadvantage and suffering for a long time!' He said this again and again. At that time, Upaghataka ghost repeatedly ignored Ghataka ghost's words, and struck Venerable Sariputta's head with his hand. After striking, he immediately cried out: 'Burn me, Ghataka! Boil me, Ghataka!' After crying out again and again, he sank into the ground and fell into Avici hell. Venerable Maha Moggallana heard the sound of Venerable Sariputta being struck by the ghost, and immediately went to Venerable Sariputta, asking him: 'How is it? Venerable! Is the pain bearable?' Venerable Sariputta replied: 'Venerable Maha Moggallana! Although there is some pain, my mind can endure it, it is not to the point of great suffering.' Venerable Maha Moggallana said to Venerable Sariputta: 'How amazing! Venerable Sariputta! You truly have great virtue and great power. If this ghost were to strike Mount Gijjhakuta with his hand, he could shatter it into chaff, how much more so when striking a person and you do not feel pain?' At that time, Venerable Sariputta said to Venerable Maha Moggallana: 'I truly did not feel great pain.' At that time, Venerable Sariputta and Maha Moggallana comforted each other. At that time, the World Honored One heard their conversation with his divine ear, and after hearing it, he spoke a verse: 'His mind is like a hard stone, firm and unmoving, his mind is free from attachment, he does not retaliate against those who are angry, if one cultivates the mind in this way, how can there be suffering and sorrow?' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced it. (1331) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, many monks were wandering in the Kosala country, staying in a forest for the summer retreat. A deva lived in that forest, and knowing that the monks would be observing the end of the rainy season on the fifteenth day, he felt extremely worried. Another deva said to that deva: 'Why are you suddenly so worried and distressed? You should be happy, because the monks are observing the precepts purely, and today they are observing the end of the rainy season.' The deva in the forest replied: 'I know that the monks are observing the end of the rainy season today, they are not like the shameless heretics who observe the end of the rainy season, but the diligent monks, after observing the end of the rainy season, will take their robes and bowls, and tomorrow they will go to other places, and this forest will be empty.' After the monks left, the deva in the forest spoke a verse: 'Now my heart is not happy, I only see the empty forest, the monks who speak the Dharma purely, the learned monks, the disciples of Gautama, where have they all gone now?' At that time, another deva spoke a verse: 'Some have gone to Magadha, some have gone to Kosala, and some have gone to Vajra Land, practicing detachment everywhere, just like wild birds and beasts, wandering wherever they please.' (1332) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, there was a monk wandering in the Kosala country, staying in a forest, entering meditation during the day, feeling physically exhausted, and sleeping at night.


時,彼林中止住天神作是念:「此非比丘法,于空林中入晝正受,夜著睡眠,我今當往覺悟之。」

爾時,天神往至比丘前,而說偈言:

「比丘汝起起,  何以著睡眠?  睡眠有何利?  病時何不眠?  利刺刺身時,  云何得睡眠?  汝本舍非家,  出家之所欲。  當如本所欲,  日夜求增進,  莫得墮睡眠,  令心不自在。  無常不恒欲,  迷醉於愚夫,  餘人悉被縛,  汝今已解脫。  正信而出家,  何以著睡眠?  已調伏貪慾,  其心得解脫。  具足勝妙智,  出家何故眠,  勤精進正受,  常修堅固力。  專求般涅槃,  云何而睡眠?  起明斷無明,  滅盡諸有漏。  調彼後邊身,  云何著睡眠?」

時,彼天神說是偈時,彼比丘聞其所說,專精思惟,得阿羅漢。

(一三三三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘在拘薩羅住林中,入晝正受,心起不善覺,依于惡貪。

時,彼林中住止天神作是念:「非比丘法,止住林中,入晝正受,心生不善覺,依于惡貪,我今當往開悟之。」

時,彼天神即說偈言:

「其心欲遠離,  正於空閑林,  放心隨外緣,  亂想而流馳。  調伏樂世心,  常樂心解脫,  當舍不樂心,  執受安樂住。  思非於正念,  莫著我我所,  如以塵頭染,  是著極難遣。  莫令染樂著,  欲心所濁亂,  如釋君馳象,  奮迅去塵穢。  比丘于自身,  正念除塵垢,  塵者謂貪慾,  非世間塵土。  黠慧明智者,  當悟彼諸塵,  于如來法律,  持心莫放逸。  塵垢謂瞋恚,  非世間塵土,  黠慧明智者,  當悟彼諸塵。  于如來法律,  持心莫放逸,  塵垢謂愚癡,  非世間塵土。  明智黠慧者,  當舍彼諸塵,  于如來法律,  持心莫放逸。」

時,彼天神說是偈已,彼比丘聞其所說,專精思惟,斷諸煩惱心,得阿羅漢。

(一三三四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘在拘薩羅人間,住一林中,入晝正受,起不正思惟

現代漢語譯本:當時,那位天神阻止了比丘,心想:『這不是比丘應有的行為,在空曠的樹林中白天進入禪定,晚上卻貪睡。我現在應當去覺悟他。』 於是,天神來到比丘面前,說了偈語:『比丘,你醒醒吧,為何貪睡?睡眠有什麼好處?生病時為何不睡?當利刺刺身時,又怎能入睡?你本已捨棄俗家,出家是爲了追求解脫。應當如你本來的願望,日夜精進,不要沉溺於睡眠,讓心不得自在。無常變幻的慾望,迷惑著愚癡的人,其他人都被束縛,而你現在已經解脫。你因正信而出家,為何還貪睡?你已調伏貪慾,心已得解脫。你具備殊勝的智慧,為何出家還要睡覺?應當勤奮精進,常修堅固的力量。專心追求涅槃,為何還要睡覺?起來吧,明斷無明,滅盡一切有漏。調伏這最後的身體,為何還要貪睡?』 當時,天神說完偈語,那位比丘聽了這些話,專心思考,證得了阿羅漢果。 (一三三三) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘在拘薩羅的樹林中居住,白天進入禪定,心中生起不善的念頭,執著于惡欲。 當時,住在樹林中的天神心想:『這不是比丘應有的行為,住在樹林中,白天進入禪定,心中卻生起不善的念頭,執著于惡欲。我現在應當去開導他。』 於是,天神說了偈語:『你的心想要遠離塵世,身處空閑的樹林,卻放縱心意,隨外境流轉,胡思亂想。應當調伏貪戀世俗的心,常樂於心解脫,捨棄不樂的心,安住于安樂之中。不要思慮不正的念頭,不要執著于『我』和『我的』,就像被塵土染污一樣,一旦執著就極難去除。不要讓貪慾染污你的心,讓它渾濁不清,就像釋迦牟尼的君王駕馭大象,奮力去除塵垢一樣。比丘啊,應當以正念去除自身的塵垢,這裡的塵垢指的是貪慾,而不是世間的塵土。聰慧明智的人,應當覺悟這些塵垢,在如來的教法中,保持心不放逸。塵垢指的是嗔恚,而不是世間的塵土,聰慧明智的人,應當覺悟這些塵垢。在如來的教法中,保持心不放逸。塵垢指的是愚癡,而不是世間的塵土。明智聰慧的人,應當捨棄這些塵垢,在如來的教法中,保持心不放逸。』 當時,天神說完偈語,那位比丘聽了這些話,專心思考,斷除了所有的煩惱,證得了阿羅漢果。 (一三三四) 我聽聞是這樣的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘在拘薩羅的人間,住在樹林中,白天進入禪定,卻生起不正的思惟。

English version: Then, that deity stopped the monk, thinking: 'This is not the way a monk should behave. Entering meditative absorption during the day in an empty forest, and then indulging in sleep at night. I should go and awaken him now.' So, the deity went to the monk and spoke these verses: 'Monk, wake up, why are you sleeping? What benefit is there in sleep? Why not sleep when you are sick? When sharp thorns pierce your body, how can you sleep? You have abandoned your home, and left home to seek liberation. You should follow your original intention, strive day and night, do not fall into sleep, and let your mind be unrestrained. The impermanent and fickle desires, delude the foolish, others are all bound, but you are now liberated. You left home with right faith, why are you still sleeping? You have subdued your greed, and your mind is liberated. You possess superior wisdom, why do you sleep after leaving home? You should be diligent and strive, always cultivate steadfast strength. Focus on seeking Nirvana, why are you still sleeping? Arise, clearly discern ignorance, and extinguish all outflows. Subdue this final body, why are you still sleeping?' Then, when the deity finished speaking the verses, the monk heard what was said, focused his mind, and attained Arhatship. (1333) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, there was a certain monk dwelling in a forest in Kosala, who entered meditative absorption during the day, and his mind arose with unwholesome thoughts, clinging to evil desires. Then, the deity dwelling in that forest thought: 'This is not the way a monk should behave, dwelling in a forest, entering meditative absorption during the day, and yet his mind arises with unwholesome thoughts, clinging to evil desires. I should go and enlighten him now.' So, the deity spoke these verses: 'Your mind desires to be detached, in a secluded forest, yet you let your mind wander, following external conditions, and your thoughts run wild. You should subdue the mind that delights in the world, always delight in the liberation of the mind, abandon the mind that is not joyful, and dwell in peace. Do not think unwholesome thoughts, do not cling to 'I' and 'mine', like being stained by dust, once attached it is extremely difficult to remove. Do not let desire stain your mind, making it turbid and unclear, like the king of the Sakyas driving an elephant, vigorously removing the dust. Monk, you should remove the dust from yourself with mindfulness, the dust here refers to greed, not the dust of the world. The wise and intelligent should awaken to these dusts, in the Dharma of the Tathagata, keep your mind without negligence. The dust refers to anger, not the dust of the world, the wise and intelligent should awaken to these dusts. In the Dharma of the Tathagata, keep your mind without negligence. The dust refers to ignorance, not the dust of the world. The wise and intelligent should abandon these dusts, in the Dharma of the Tathagata, keep your mind without negligence.' Then, when the deity finished speaking the verses, the monk heard what was said, focused his mind, cut off all defilements, and attained Arhatship. (1334) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, there was a certain monk in the human realm of Kosala, dwelling in a forest, who entered meditative absorption during the day, and yet arose with unwholesome thoughts.


時,彼林中止住天神作是念:「此非比丘法,止住林中,入晝正受,而起不正思惟,我今當往方便善覺悟之。」

時,彼天神而說偈言:

「何不正思惟,  覺觀所寢食?  當舍不正念,  專修于正受。  遵崇佛法僧,  及自持凈戒,  常生隨喜心,  喜樂轉勝進。  以心歡喜故,  速究竟苦邊。」

時,彼天神說偈勸發已,彼比丘專精思惟,盡諸煩惱,得阿羅漢。

(一三三五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘于拘薩羅人間,住一林中,入晝正受。時,彼比丘日中時,不樂心生,而說偈言:

「於此日中時,  眾鳥悉靜默,  空野忽有聲,  令我心恐怖。」

時,彼林中住止天神而說偈言:

「於今日中時,  眾鳥悉寂靜,  空野忽有聲,  應汝不樂心,  汝當舍不樂,  專樂修正受。」

時,彼天子說偈覺悟彼比丘已,時,彼比丘專精思惟,舍除煩惱,得阿羅漢。

(一三三六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時,尊者阿那律陀在拘薩羅人間,住一林中。

時,有天神名阇鄰尼,是尊者阿那律陀本善知識,往詣尊者阿那律陀所。到阿那律所,說偈言:

「汝今可發願,  愿還生本處,  三十三天上,  五欲樂悉備。  百種諸音樂,  常以自歡娛,  每至睡眠時,  音樂以覺悟。  諸天玉女眾,  晝夜侍左右。」

尊者阿那律陀說偈答言:

「諸天玉女眾,  此皆大苦聚,  以彼顛倒想,  系著有身見。  諸求生彼者,  斯亦是大苦,  阇鄰尼當知,  我不願生彼。  生死已永盡,  不受後有故。」

尊者阿那律說是語時,阇鄰尼天子聞尊者阿那律所說,歡喜隨喜,即沒不現。

(一三三七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有比丘在拘薩羅人間,林中止住,勤誦經、勤講說;精勤思惟,得阿羅漢果證已,不復精勤誦說。

時,有天神,止彼林中者,而說偈言:

「比丘汝先時,  晝夜勤誦習,  常為諸比丘,  共論決定義

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位天神心想:『這不是比丘應有的行為,住在林中,進入白天的禪定,卻生起不正當的思緒。我現在應當前去,方便地讓他覺悟。』 當時,那位天神說了偈語: 『為何不正思惟,覺察觀想所帶來的睡眠和飲食?應當捨棄不正的念頭,專心修習正定。遵從佛、法、僧,以及自己持守清凈的戒律,常常生起隨喜之心,喜悅和快樂會更加精進。因為內心歡喜的緣故,能迅速達到苦的盡頭。』 當時,那位天神說完偈語勸勉之後,那位比丘專心精進地思惟,斷盡了一切煩惱,證得了阿羅漢果。 (一三三五) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中,進入白天的禪定。當時,那位比丘在中午時分,心中生起不悅,於是說了偈語: 『在這中午時分,眾鳥都靜默無聲,空曠的野外忽然傳來聲音,使我心中感到恐懼。』 當時,住在那片樹林中的天神說了偈語: 『在今日中午時分,眾鳥都寂靜無聲,空曠的野外忽然傳來聲音,這應該讓你感到不悅,你應當捨棄不悅,專心樂於修習正定。』 當時,那位天神說完偈語,覺悟了那位比丘之後,那位比丘專心精進地思惟,捨棄了煩惱,證得了阿羅漢果。 (一三三六) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者阿那律陀在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中。 當時,有一位名叫阇鄰尼的天神,是尊者阿那律陀過去的好友,前往尊者阿那律陀所在的地方。到了阿那律陀那裡,說了偈語: 『你現在可以發願,願望回到原來的地方,在三十三天之上,五欲的快樂都具備。各種各樣的音樂,常常用來自我娛樂,每當睡眠的時候,音樂會把你喚醒。眾多的天女,日夜侍奉在你的左右。』 尊者阿那律陀說了偈語回答說: 『眾多的天女,這些都是巨大的痛苦聚集,因為他們顛倒的妄想,執著于有身體的見解。那些求生到那裡的人,也是巨大的痛苦,阇鄰尼應當知道,我不願生到那裡。生死已經永遠斷絕,不再受後有的緣故。』 尊者阿那律陀說這些話的時候,阇鄰尼天子聽到尊者阿那律陀所說,歡喜隨喜,隨即消失不見。 (一三三七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在樹林中,勤奮地誦經、勤奮地講說;精勤地思惟,證得了阿羅漢果之後,不再勤奮地誦經講說了。 當時,有一位天神,住在那個樹林中,說了偈語: 『比丘你先前的時候,日夜勤奮地誦習,常常和眾比丘,共同討論決定義理』

English version Then, that deity thought: 'This is not the way a bhikkhu should behave. Dwelling in the forest, entering into the midday meditation, yet giving rise to improper thoughts. I should now go and skillfully awaken him.' Then, that deity spoke these verses: 'Why do you think improperly, contemplating what brings sleep and food? You should abandon improper thoughts and focus on practicing right concentration. Follow the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and uphold your pure precepts. Always generate a joyful heart, and joy and happiness will increase. Because of the joy in your heart, you will quickly reach the end of suffering.' Then, after that deity had spoken the verses and encouraged him, that bhikkhu focused his mind and diligently contemplated, eradicated all defilements, and attained Arhatship. (1335) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu in the Kosala region, dwelling in a forest, who entered into midday meditation. At that time, that bhikkhu, during the midday, felt displeasure arise in his mind, and spoke these verses: 'At this midday hour, all the birds are silent, and a sound suddenly arises in the empty wilderness, causing fear in my heart.' Then, the deity dwelling in that forest spoke these verses: 'At this midday hour, all the birds are silent, and a sound suddenly arises in the empty wilderness, which should cause you displeasure. You should abandon displeasure and focus on the joy of practicing right concentration.' Then, after that deity had spoken the verses and awakened that bhikkhu, that bhikkhu focused his mind and diligently contemplated, abandoned defilements, and attained Arhatship. (1336) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, the Venerable Anuruddha was in the Kosala region, dwelling in a forest. At that time, a deity named Jalinī, who was a former friend of the Venerable Anuruddha, went to where the Venerable Anuruddha was. Having arrived at Anuruddha's place, he spoke these verses: 'You can now make a wish to return to your former place, in the Thirty-three Heavens, where the pleasures of the five senses are all available. All kinds of music are always used for your own entertainment, and whenever you sleep, music will awaken you. A multitude of celestial maidens attend to you day and night.' The Venerable Anuruddha spoke these verses in reply: 'The multitude of celestial maidens, these are all great gatherings of suffering, because of their deluded thoughts, they are attached to the view of having a body. Those who seek to be born there, that is also great suffering. Jalinī, you should know, I do not wish to be born there. Birth and death have been forever ended, because I will not receive future existence.' When the Venerable Anuruddha spoke these words, the deity Jalinī, hearing what the Venerable Anuruddha had said, rejoiced and was delighted, and then disappeared. (1337) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi. At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu in the Kosala region, dwelling in a forest, who diligently recited the scriptures and diligently preached; having diligently contemplated and attained the fruit of Arhatship, he no longer diligently recited or preached. At that time, a deity, who was dwelling in that forest, spoke these verses: 'Bhikkhu, in the past, you diligently recited and studied day and night, and often with the bhikkhus, you discussed and resolved the meaning of the teachings.'


。  汝今於法句,  寂然無所說,  不與諸比丘,  共論決定義。」

時,彼比丘說偈答言:

「本未應離欲,  心常樂法句,  既離欲相應,  誦說事已畢。  先知道已備,  用聞見道為,  世間諸聞見,  無知悉放舍。」

時,彼天神聞比丘所說,歡喜隨喜,即沒不現。

(一三三八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘在拘薩羅人間,止一林中。時,彼比丘有眼患,受師教,應嗅缽曇摩花。時,彼比丘受師教已,往至缽曇摩池側,于池岸邊,迎風而坐,隨風嗅香。

時,有天神,主此池者,語比丘言:「何以盜華?汝今便是盜香賊也!」

爾時,比丘說偈答言:

「不壞亦不奪,  遠住隨嗅香,  汝今何故言,  我是盜香賊?」

爾時,天神復說偈言:

「不求而不捨,  世間名為賊,  汝今人不與,  而自一向取,  是則名世間,  真實盜香賊。」

時,有一士夫取彼藕根,重負而去。

爾時,比丘為彼天神而說偈言:

「如今彼士夫,  斷截分陀利,  拔根重負去,  便是奸狡人,  汝何故不遮,  而言我盜香。」

時,彼天神說偈答言:

「狂亂奸狡人,  猶如乳母衣,  何足加其言,  宜堪與汝語。  袈裟污不現,  黑衣墨不污,  奸狡兇惡人,  世間不與語。  蠅腳污素帛,  明者小過現,  如墨點珂貝,  雖小悉皆現。  常從彼求凈,  無結離煩惱,  如毛髮之惡,  人見如泰山。」

時,彼比丘復說偈言:

「善哉善哉說,  以義安慰我,  汝可常為我,  數數說斯偈。」

時,彼天神復說偈言:

「我非汝買奴,  亦非人與汝,  何為常隨汝,  數數相告語,  汝今自當知,  彼彼饒益事。」

時,彼天子說是偈已,彼比丘聞其所說,歡喜隨喜,從座起去,獨一靜處,專精思惟,斷諸煩惱,得阿羅漢。

(一三三九)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時,尊者十力迦葉住王舍城仙人窟中。時,有獵師名曰尺只,去十力迦葉不遠,張網捕鹿

『你現在對於佛法要義,寂靜無言,不與眾比丘共同討論決斷其意義。』 當時,那位比丘用偈語回答說: 『我本不應執著于慾望,內心常常喜愛佛法要義,既然已經脫離了慾望的束縛,誦讀和解說佛法的事情已經完畢。既然已經知道真理,又何必再通過聽聞和見解來求道呢?世間所有的聽聞和見解,我都已經毫無執著地放下了。』 當時,那位天神聽到比丘所說,歡喜讚歎,隨即消失不見。 (一三三八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位異地比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中。當時,這位比丘患有眼疾,接受了師父的教導,應該聞缽曇摩花的香氣。當時,這位比丘接受了師父的教導后,前往缽曇摩池邊,在池岸邊,迎著風坐下,隨風聞香。 當時,有一位天神,是這片池塘的主人,對這位比丘說:『你為何偷花?你現在就是個偷香賊!』 當時,比丘用偈語回答說: 『我沒有破壞也沒有奪取,只是遠遠地聞著香氣,你為何說我是偷香賊?』 當時,天神又用偈語說: 『不求也不捨,世間稱之為賊,你現在未經他人允許,就自己一味地取用,這在世間,就是真正的偷香賊。』 當時,有一位男子取了蓮藕根,揹著重物離開了。 當時,比丘對天神說偈語: 『如今那位男子,砍斷了分陀利蓮花,拔出根莖揹著重物離去,那才是奸詐狡猾的人,你為何不去阻止,反而說我偷香?』 當時,天神用偈語回答說: 『狂妄狡猾的人,就像乳母的衣服一樣,不值得和他多說,只適合和你說話。袈裟上的污垢顯而易見,黑色的墨水不會污染,奸詐兇惡的人,世間不會和他說話。蒼蠅的腳弄髒了白色的絲綢,明眼人能看到細微的過錯,就像墨點在潔白的貝殼上,即使很小也會顯現出來。應該常常追求清凈,沒有煩惱的束縛,就像頭髮上的污垢,人們會看得像泰山一樣大。』 當時,比丘又用偈語說: 『說得好啊,說得好啊,用道理安慰了我,你可要常常為我,多次說這些偈語。』 當時,天神又用偈語說: 『我不是你買來的奴隸,也不是別人送給你的,為何要常常跟隨著你,多次告訴你這些話,你現在應當自己知道,哪些事情對你有益。』 當時,天神說完這些偈語后,比丘聽了這些話,歡喜讚歎,從座位上起身離去,獨自一人到安靜的地方,專心思考,斷除了各種煩惱,證得了阿羅漢果。 (一三三九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,尊者十力迦葉住在王舍城仙人窟中。當時,有一位獵人名叫尺只,離十力迦葉不遠,張網捕鹿。

'Now you are silent about the Dharma verses, not discussing or deciding their meaning with the other monks.' Then, that monk replied with a verse: 'Originally, I should not be attached to desires, my heart always delights in the Dharma verses. Since I have already detached from desires, the recitation and explanation of the Dharma is complete. Since I already know the truth, why should I seek the path through hearing and seeing? All worldly hearing and seeing, I have let go of without any attachment.' Then, that deity, hearing what the monk said, rejoiced and praised, and then disappeared. (1338) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, there was a monk from another region in the Kosala country, staying in a forest. At that time, this monk had an eye ailment, and following his teacher's instructions, he was to smell the fragrance of the padma flower. Having received his teacher's instructions, the monk went to the side of the padma pond, and sat on the bank, facing the wind, smelling the fragrance. At that time, a deity, the master of this pond, said to the monk: 'Why are you stealing flowers? You are now a thief of fragrance!' Then, the monk replied with a verse: 'I have not destroyed or taken, I am just smelling the fragrance from afar, why do you say I am a thief of fragrance?' Then, the deity replied with a verse: 'Not seeking and not giving up, the world calls this a thief. Now you, without others' permission, are taking for yourself, this in the world, is truly a thief of fragrance.' At that time, a man took lotus roots and left, carrying a heavy load. Then, the monk spoke a verse to the deity: 'Now that man, cutting the pundarika lotus, pulling out the roots and carrying them away, that is a deceitful and cunning person. Why don't you stop him, but instead say I am stealing fragrance?' Then, the deity replied with a verse: 'A foolish and cunning person, is like a nurse's clothes, not worth talking to, only suitable to talk to you. The stains on the robe are obvious, black ink does not stain, deceitful and wicked people, the world will not talk to them. A fly's foot dirties white silk, the clear-sighted can see the slightest fault, like an ink spot on a white shell, even if it is small, it will be visible. One should always seek purity, without the bondage of afflictions, like the dirt on hair, people will see it as big as Mount Tai.' Then, the monk replied with a verse: 'Well said, well said, you have comforted me with reason, may you always for me, repeatedly speak these verses.' Then, the deity replied with a verse: 'I am not a slave you bought, nor was I given to you by others, why should I always follow you, repeatedly tell you these things, you should now know for yourself, which things are beneficial to you.' Then, after the deity spoke these verses, the monk, hearing these words, rejoiced and praised, got up from his seat and left, alone to a quiet place, focused his mind, cut off all afflictions, and attained the state of Arhat. (1339) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalanda Bamboo Grove in Rajagriha. At that time, the venerable Ten-Powers Kasyapa was dwelling in the Cave of the Sages in Rajagriha. At that time, there was a hunter named Chichi, not far from Ten-Powers Kasyapa, setting nets to catch deer.


。爾時,十力迦葉為彼獵師哀愍說法。時,彼獵師不解所說。時,十力迦葉即以神力,指端火然,彼猶不悟。

爾時,仙人窟中住止天神而說偈言:

「深山中獵師,  少智盲無目,  何為非時說,  薄德無辯慧,  所聞亦不解,  明中亦無見,  于諸善勝法,  愚癡莫能了,  正使燒十指,  彼終不見諦。」

時,彼天神說是偈已,尊者十力迦葉即默然住。

(一三四〇)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

時,有尊者金剛子,住巴連弗邑一處林中。時,巴連弗邑人民夏四月過,作憍牟尼大會。

時,尊者金剛子聞世間大會,生不樂心,而說偈言:

「獨一處空林,  猶如棄枯木,  夏時四月滿,  世間樂莊嚴,  普觀諸世間,  其苦無過我。」

爾時,林中住止天神即說偈言:

「獨一處空林,  猶如棄枯木,  為三十三天,  心常所愿樂,  猶如地獄中,  仰思生人道。」

時,金剛子為彼天神所勸發已,專精思惟,斷諸煩惱,得阿羅漢。

(一三四一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘在拘薩羅人間,住一林中,唯好樂持戒,不能增長上進功德。

時,彼林中止住天神作是念:「此非比丘法,住于林中,唯樂持戒,不能增修上進功德,今我當作方便而發悟之。」即說偈言:

「非一向持戒,  及修習多聞,  獨靜禪三昧,  閑居修遠離。  比丘偏倚息,  終不得漏盡,  平等正覺樂,  遠非凡夫輩。」

時,彼比丘天神勸進已,專精思惟,斷諸煩惱,得阿羅漢。

(一三四二)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

有尊者那迦達多在拘薩羅人間,住一林中,有在家、出家常相親近。

時,彼林中止住天神作是念:「此非比丘法,住于林中,與諸在家、出家周旋親數,我今當往方便發悟。」而說偈言:

「比丘旦早出,  迫暮而還林,  道俗相習近,  苦樂必同安。  恐起家放逸,  而隨魔自在。」

時,那迦達多比丘為彼天神如是如是開覺已

當時,十力迦葉爲了憐憫那個獵人而為他說法。當時,那個獵人不能理解所說的內容。當時,十力迦葉就用神通,指尖燃起火焰,他仍然不醒悟。 當時,住在仙人洞中的天神說了偈語: 『深山中的獵人,少智愚昧沒有眼目,為什麼不在適當的時候說法,他德行淺薄沒有辯才智慧,所聽到的也不能理解,即使在光明中也沒有看見,對於各種殊勝的善法,愚癡不能明白,即使燒掉十個手指,他最終也不會見到真理。』 當時,那個天神說完偈語后,尊者十力迦葉就默默地住下了。 (一三四〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有位尊者金剛子,住在巴連弗邑的一處樹林中。當時,巴連弗邑的人民在夏季四個月結束后,舉行憍牟尼大會。 當時,尊者金剛子聽到世間的大會,心中不悅,就說了偈語: 『獨自一人住在空曠的樹林里,就像被丟棄的枯木一樣,夏季四個月滿了,世間都在歡樂地裝飾,普遍觀察世間,他們的痛苦沒有超過我的。』 當時,住在樹林中的天神就說了偈語: 『獨自一人住在空曠的樹林里,就像被丟棄的枯木一樣,這是三十三天的心中常常希望的快樂,就像在地獄中,仰望思念著生到人道。』 當時,金剛子被那個天神勸勉啓發后,專心精進地思考,斷除了各種煩惱,證得了阿羅漢果。 (一三四一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有位不同的比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中,只喜歡持戒,不能增長上進的功德。 當時,那片樹林中居住的天神這樣想:『這不是比丘應有的行為,住在樹林中,只喜歡持戒,不能增修上進的功德,現在我應當想個辦法來啓發他。』就說了偈語: 『不只是持戒,以及修習多聞,獨自靜坐禪定,閑居修習遠離。比丘偏執于止息,最終不能漏盡煩惱,平等正覺的快樂,遠離了凡夫俗輩。』 當時,那個比丘被天神勸勉后,專心精進地思考,斷除了各種煩惱,證得了阿羅漢果。 (一三四二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 有位尊者那迦達多在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中,有在家和出家的人常常親近他。 當時,那片樹林中居住的天神這樣想:『這不是比丘應有的行為,住在樹林中,與各種在家和出家的人周旋親近,我現在應當前往想辦法啓發他。』就說了偈語: 『比丘早晨出去,傍晚才回到樹林,與道俗互相親近,苦樂必定一同安享。恐怕會引起在家人的放逸,而隨魔自在。』 當時,那迦達多比丘被那個天神這樣那樣地開導覺悟后

At that time, the Ten-Powered Kāśyapa, out of compassion for that hunter, preached the Dharma to him. At that time, the hunter did not understand what was being said. Then, the Ten-Powered Kāśyapa used his supernatural power, causing fire to ignite at his fingertip, yet the hunter still did not awaken. At that time, a celestial being dwelling in the cave of the hermit spoke a verse: 'The hunter in the deep mountains, with little wisdom, blind and without eyes, why preach at the wrong time? He is of meager virtue, without eloquence or wisdom, what he hears he does not understand, even in the light he sees nothing, regarding all the excellent and superior Dharmas, he is too foolish to comprehend, even if you burn ten fingers, he will ultimately not see the truth.' At that time, after that celestial being spoke the verse, the Venerable Ten-Powered Kāśyapa remained silent. (1340) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rājagṛha. At that time, there was a Venerable Vajrapāṇi, dwelling in a forest in Pāṭaliputra. At that time, the people of Pāṭaliputra, after the four months of summer had passed, held the Kaumudi Festival. At that time, Venerable Vajrapāṇi, hearing of the worldly festival, felt displeasure and spoke a verse: 'Alone in the empty forest, like a discarded withered tree, the four months of summer are over, the world is joyfully adorned, observing the world, their suffering is no greater than mine.' At that time, a celestial being dwelling in the forest spoke a verse: 'Alone in the empty forest, like a discarded withered tree, this is what the thirty-three gods constantly wish for, like in hell, longing to be born in the human realm.' At that time, Vajrapāṇi, having been encouraged and inspired by that celestial being, focused his mind and contemplated, severed all defilements, and attained Arhatship. (1341) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove of Anāthapiṇḍika in Śrāvastī. At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu in the Kosala region, dwelling in a forest, who only delighted in upholding the precepts, and could not increase his progress in merit. At that time, a celestial being dwelling in that forest thought: 'This is not the way of a bhikkhu, dwelling in the forest, only delighting in upholding the precepts, and not increasing his progress in merit, now I should devise a way to awaken him.' And spoke a verse: 'Not only by upholding the precepts, and studying much, alone in quiet meditation, dwelling in seclusion and practicing detachment. A bhikkhu clinging to cessation, will ultimately not exhaust the outflows, the joy of equal and right awakening, is far from the ordinary.' At that time, that bhikkhu, having been encouraged by the celestial being, focused his mind and contemplated, severed all defilements, and attained Arhatship. (1342) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove of Anāthapiṇḍika in Śrāvastī. There was a Venerable Nāgadatta in the Kosala region, dwelling in a forest, with lay and ordained people often associating with him. At that time, a celestial being dwelling in that forest thought: 'This is not the way of a bhikkhu, dwelling in the forest, associating closely with various lay and ordained people, now I should go and devise a way to awaken him.' And spoke a verse: 'The bhikkhu goes out early in the morning, and returns to the forest in the evening, associating closely with the ordained and lay, they will surely share in both suffering and joy. I fear that it will cause the lay people to become lax, and follow the will of Mara.' At that time, the bhikkhu Nāgadatta, having been awakened in this way by that celestial being


。如是如是專精思惟,斷諸煩惱,得阿羅漢。

(一三四三)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有眾多比丘在拘薩羅人間,住一林中,言語嬉戲,終日散亂,心不得定,縱諸根門,馳騁六境。

時,彼林中止住天神見是比丘不攝威儀,心不欣悅,而說偈言:

「此先有瞿曇,  正命弟子眾,  無常心乞食,  無常受床臥,  觀世無常故,  得究竟苦邊,  今有難養眾,  沙門所居止,  處處求飲食,  遍游於他家,  望財而出家,  無真沙門欲,  垂著僧伽梨,  如老牛曳尾。」

爾時,比丘語天神言:「汝欲厭我耶?」

時,彼天神復說偈言:

「不指其名姓,  不非稱其人,  而總向彼眾,  說其不善者,  疏漏相現者,  方便說其過,  勤修精進者,  歸依恭敬禮。」

彼諸比丘為天神勸發已,專精思惟,斷諸煩惱,得阿羅漢。

(一三四四)

如是我聞:

一時,佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘在拘薩羅人間,住一林中。時,彼比丘與長者婦女嬉戲,起惡名聲。

時,彼比丘作是念:「我今不類,共他婦女起惡名聲,我今欲於此林中自殺。」

時,彼林中止住天神作是思念:「不善不類,此比丘不壞、無過,而於林中欲自殺身,我今當作方便開悟。」

時,彼天神化作長者女身,語比丘言:「于諸巷路四衢道中,世間諸人為我及汝起惡名聲,言我與汝共相習近,作不正事。已有惡名,今可還俗,共相娛樂。」

比丘答言:「以彼里巷四衢道中,為我與汝起惡名聲,共相習近,為不正事。我今且自殺身!」

時,彼天神還復天身,而說偈言:

「雖聞多惡名,  苦行者忍之,  不應苦自苦,  亦不應起惱。  聞聲恐怖者,  是則林中獸,  是輕躁眾生,  不成出家法。  仁者當堪耐,  不中住惡聲,  執心堅住者,  是則出家法。  不由他人語,  令汝成劫賊,  亦不由他語,  令汝得羅漢。  如汝自知已,  諸天亦復知。」

爾時,比丘為彼天神所開悟已,專精思惟,斷除煩惱,得阿羅漢

現代漢語譯本:如此這般專心精進地思考,斷除各種煩惱,便能證得阿羅漢果位。 現代漢語譯本:我聽聞是這樣的: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 現代漢語譯本:當時,有許多比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中,他們言語嬉戲,整天散亂,心不能安定,放縱自己的感官,追逐六種外境。 現代漢語譯本:當時,住在那片樹林中的天神看到這些比丘不注意自己的威儀,心中不悅,於是說了這樣一首偈語: 現代漢語譯本:『過去有瞿曇,他的弟子們奉行正命,以無常之心乞食,以無常之心接受床鋪休息,因為觀察到世間無常,所以最終得以脫離苦海。現在卻有一群難以教養的人,他們是沙門所居住的地方,到處尋求飲食,到處遊走於他人家中,他們是爲了錢財而出家,沒有真正的沙門之慾,他們披著僧伽梨,就像老牛拖著尾巴一樣。』 現代漢語譯本:當時,比丘們對天神說:『你想要厭惡我們嗎?』 現代漢語譯本:當時,那位天神又說了一首偈語: 現代漢語譯本:『我不指名道姓,也不誹謗具體的人,而是總的向大眾,說那些不善的行為,那些行為疏漏的人,方便地指出他們的過錯,對於那些勤奮修行的人,則歸依、恭敬、禮拜。』 現代漢語譯本:那些比丘被天神勸勉啓發后,專心精進地思考,斷除各種煩惱,證得了阿羅漢果位。 現代漢語譯本:我聽聞是這樣的: 現代漢語譯本:一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 現代漢語譯本:當時,有一位比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中。當時,那位比丘與一位長者的婦女嬉戲,引起了不好的名聲。 現代漢語譯本:當時,那位比丘這樣想:『我現在不像樣,和別人的婦女一起引起了不好的名聲,我現在想在這片樹林中自殺。』 現代漢語譯本:當時,住在那片樹林中的天神這樣想:『這不好,不像樣,這位比丘沒有犯錯,沒有過失,卻想在這片樹林中自殺,我現在應該想辦法開導他。』 現代漢語譯本:當時,那位天神化作長者婦女的模樣,對那位比丘說:『在各個街巷和十字路口,世間的人們因為我和你而起了不好的名聲,說我和你互相親近,做了不正當的事情。既然已經有了惡名,現在可以還俗,一起享樂。』 現代漢語譯本:比丘回答說:『因為在那些街巷和十字路口,人們因為我和你而起了不好的名聲,說我們互相親近,做了不正當的事情。我現在寧願自殺!』 現代漢語譯本:當時,那位天神恢復了天神的模樣,說了這樣一首偈語: 現代漢語譯本:『即使聽到很多惡名,苦行的人也應該忍受,不應該自己折磨自己,也不應該生起煩惱。聽到聲音就感到恐懼的人,就像是樹林中的野獸,是輕浮躁動的眾生,不能成就出家之法。仁者應當能夠忍耐,不應該因為惡名而動搖,內心堅定的人,才是出家之法。不是因為別人的話,讓你成為強盜,也不是因為別人的話,讓你證得羅漢果位。正如你自己所知道的,諸天也同樣知道。』 現代漢語譯本:當時,那位比丘被天神開導啓發后,專心精進地思考,斷除各種煩惱,證得了阿羅漢果位。

English version: Thus, with focused and diligent contemplation, one can sever all afflictions and attain the state of Arhat. English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. English version: At that time, many monks were in the Kosala region, living in a forest. They were engaged in playful talk, scattered throughout the day, their minds unable to settle, indulging their senses, and chasing after the six external objects. English version: At that time, a deity residing in that forest, seeing these monks not observing proper conduct, felt displeased and spoke this verse: English version: 'In the past, there was Gautama, whose disciples followed the right livelihood, begging with a mind of impermanence, accepting beds with a mind of impermanence. Because they observed the impermanence of the world, they ultimately escaped the sea of suffering. Now there is a group difficult to nurture, the place where the Shramanas reside, seeking food everywhere, wandering through other people's homes. They have left home for wealth, without the true desire of a Shramana. They wear the Sanghati robe, like an old ox dragging its tail.' English version: At that time, the monks said to the deity, 'Do you wish to despise us?' English version: At that time, the deity spoke another verse: English version: 'I do not point out names or surnames, nor do I slander specific individuals, but generally towards the assembly, I speak of those who do not act well, those whose actions are negligent, conveniently pointing out their faults. To those who diligently cultivate, I take refuge, respect, and bow.' English version: After being encouraged and inspired by the deity, those monks focused their minds on diligent contemplation, severed all afflictions, and attained the state of Arhat. English version: Thus have I heard: English version: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. English version: At that time, there was a certain monk in the Kosala region, living in a forest. At that time, that monk was playing with a wealthy man's wife, causing a bad reputation. English version: At that time, that monk thought, 'I am not proper, causing a bad reputation with another man's wife. I now wish to kill myself in this forest.' English version: At that time, the deity residing in that forest thought, 'This is not good, not proper. This monk has not committed any wrong or fault, yet he wishes to kill himself in this forest. I should now find a way to enlighten him.' English version: At that time, the deity transformed into the form of the wealthy man's wife and said to the monk, 'In the streets and crossroads, the people of the world have given us a bad reputation because of you and me, saying that we are intimate and doing improper things. Since we already have a bad name, we can now return to lay life and enjoy ourselves together.' English version: The monk replied, 'Because in those streets and crossroads, people have given us a bad reputation because of you and me, saying that we are intimate and doing improper things, I would rather kill myself now!' English version: At that time, the deity returned to its heavenly form and spoke this verse: English version: 'Even if one hears much bad reputation, the ascetic should endure it, one should not torment oneself, nor should one become agitated. Those who are frightened by sounds are like beasts in the forest, they are frivolous and restless beings, unable to achieve the Dharma of leaving home. The virtuous one should be able to endure, one should not be shaken by a bad reputation. Those who hold their minds firm, that is the Dharma of leaving home. It is not because of others' words that you become a robber, nor is it because of others' words that you attain the state of Arhat. Just as you know yourself, so do the gods know.' English version: At that time, after being enlightened and inspired by the deity, that monk focused his mind on diligent contemplation, severed all afflictions, and attained the state of Arhat.


(一三四五)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有尊者見多比丘在拘薩羅人間,住一林中,著糞掃衣。時,梵天王與七百梵天乘其宮殿,來詣尊者見多比丘所,恭敬禮事。

時,有天神,住彼林中者,而說偈言:

「觀彼寂諸根,  能感善供養,  具足三明達,  得不傾動法,  度一切方便,  少事糞掃衣,  七百梵天子,  乘宮來奉詣,  見生死有邊,  今禮度有岸。」

時,彼天神說偈讚歎見多比丘已,即沒不現。

(一三四六)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘在拘薩羅人間,住一林中。時,彼比丘身體疲極,夜著睡眠。

時,有天神,住彼林中者,而覺悟之,即說偈言:

「可起起比丘,  何故著睡眠?  睡眠有何義?  修禪莫睡眠。」

時,彼比丘說偈答言:

「不肯當云何?  懈怠少方便,  緣盡四體羸,  夜則著睡眠。」

時,彼天神復說偈言:

「且汝當執守,  勿聲而大呼,  汝已得修閑,  莫令其退沒。」

時,彼比丘說偈答言:

「我當用汝語,  精勤修方便,  不為彼睡眠,  數數覆其心。」

時,彼天神如是如是覺悟彼比丘。時,彼比丘專精方便,斷諸煩惱,得阿羅漢。時,彼天神復說偈言:

「汝豈能自起,  專精勤方便,  不為眾魔軍,  厭汝令睡眠。」

時,彼比丘說偈答言:

「從今當七夜,  常坐正思惟,  其身生喜樂,  無一處不滿,  初夜觀宿命,  中夜天眼凈,  后夜除無明,  見眾生苦樂,  上中下形類,  善色及惡色,  知何業因緣,  而受斯果報,  若士夫所作,  所作還自見,  善者見其善,  惡者自見惡。」

時,彼天神復說偈言:

「我知先一切,  比丘十四人,  皆是須陀洹,  悉得禪正受,  來到此林中,  當得阿羅漢,  見汝一懈怠,  仰臥著睡眠,  莫令住凡夫,  故方便覺悟。」

爾時,比丘復說偈言:

「善哉汝天神,  以義安慰我,  至誠見開覺,  令我盡諸漏

現代漢語譯本 (一三四五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有位尊者見多比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中,穿著糞掃衣。當時,梵天王與七百位梵天乘坐他們的宮殿,來到尊者見多比丘所在的地方,恭敬地行禮。 當時,有位天神,住在那個樹林中的,說了這樣的偈語: 『觀察那些寂靜諸根的比丘,能感得善意的供養,具備三明,通達不為動搖的法,度過一切方便,少事且穿著糞掃衣,七百位梵天子,乘坐宮殿前來奉拜,見到生死有邊際,現在禮敬已度過彼岸的人。』 當時,那位天神說完偈語讚歎見多比丘后,就消失不見了。 (一三四六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有位異比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中。當時,那位比丘身體疲憊,晚上就睡著了。 當時,有位天神,住在那個樹林中的,就覺醒他,說了這樣的偈語: 『可以起來了,比丘,為什麼睡著了?睡眠有什麼意義?修禪定不要睡覺。』 當時,那位比丘用偈語回答說: 『不肯起來又能怎麼樣呢?懈怠又少方便,因緣耗盡四肢無力,晚上就睡著了。』 當時,那位天神又說了偈語: 『你應當堅持,不要大聲呼喊,你已經得到修行的空閑,不要讓它退失。』 當時,那位比丘用偈語回答說: 『我將聽從你的話,精勤地修習方便,不讓睡眠,屢次覆蓋我的心。』 當時,那位天神就這樣不斷地覺醒那位比丘。當時,那位比丘專心精進,斷除各種煩惱,證得阿羅漢果。當時,那位天神又說了偈語: 『你竟然能自己起來,專心勤奮地修習方便,不被眾魔軍,厭煩你而讓你睡覺。』 當時,那位比丘用偈語回答說: 『從今往後七個夜晚,我將常坐正思惟,身體產生喜悅,沒有一處不充滿,初夜觀察宿命,中夜天眼清凈,后夜去除無明,看見眾生的苦樂,上中下各種形類,美好的和醜陋的,知道是什麼業的因緣,而承受這樣的果報,如果士夫所作的,所作的還會自己看到,善的會看到善,惡的會自己看到惡。』 當時,那位天神又說了偈語: 『我知道先前的一切,比丘十四人,都是須陀洹,都得到禪定正受,來到這片樹林中,將證得阿羅漢果,看到你一懈怠,仰臥著睡覺,不要讓你停留在凡夫的境界,所以方便地覺醒你。』 當時,比丘又說了偈語: 『善哉,你這位天神,用正義安慰我,真誠地開導覺悟我,讓我斷盡各種煩惱。』

English version (1345) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, there was a venerable monk named Venta, who was dwelling in a forest in the Kosala region, wearing robes made of discarded rags. Then, King Brahma, along with seven hundred Brahmas, came in their palaces to where Venerable Venta was, and respectfully paid their respects. At that time, a deity, who lived in that forest, spoke this verse: 'Observing those whose senses are calmed, they are worthy of good offerings, possessing the three kinds of knowledge, understanding the unshakeable Dharma, having transcended all skillful means, with few possessions and wearing rag robes, seven hundred Brahma sons, come in their palaces to pay homage, seeing the end of birth and death, now they bow to those who have crossed the shore.' Then, that deity, having praised Venerable Venta with the verse, disappeared. (1346) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, there was another monk in the Kosala region, dwelling in a forest. At that time, that monk was physically exhausted and fell asleep at night. At that time, a deity, who lived in that forest, awakened him, and spoke this verse: 'Arise, arise, monk, why are you sleeping? What is the meaning of sleep? Do not sleep while practicing meditation.' Then, that monk replied with a verse: 'What can I do if I am unwilling? I am lazy and lack skillful means, my conditions are exhausted and my limbs are weak, so I fall asleep at night.' Then, that deity spoke another verse: 'You should persevere, do not shout loudly, you have already obtained the leisure for practice, do not let it decline.' Then, that monk replied with a verse: 'I will heed your words, diligently practice skillful means, and not let sleep repeatedly cover my mind.' Then, that deity continued to awaken that monk in this way. Then, that monk focused his efforts, cut off all defilements, and attained Arhatship. Then, that deity spoke another verse: 'You were able to rise on your own, diligently practice skillful means, and not be overcome by the army of Mara, who would have you sleep.' Then, that monk replied with a verse: 'From now on, for seven nights, I will sit in right contemplation, my body will be filled with joy, there will be no place not filled, in the first watch I will contemplate past lives, in the middle watch my divine eye will be purified, in the last watch I will remove ignorance, and see the suffering and happiness of beings, the various forms of beings, high, middle, and low, beautiful and ugly, knowing what karmic causes lead to such results, if a person does something, they will see the results of their actions, the good will see good, and the evil will see evil.' Then, that deity spoke another verse: 'I know that previously, fourteen monks, were all Stream-enterers, all having attained the right concentration of meditation, coming to this forest, they will attain Arhatship, seeing you being lazy, lying down and sleeping, not letting you remain in the state of an ordinary person, so I skillfully awakened you.' Then, the monk spoke another verse: 'Well done, you deity, you comforted me with righteousness, sincerely guiding and awakening me, allowing me to exhaust all defilements.'


。」

時,彼天神復說偈言:

「比丘應如是,  信非家出家,  抱愚而出家,  逮得見清凈。  我今攝受法,  當盡壽命思,  若汝疾病時,  我當與良藥。」

時,彼天神說是偈已,即沒不現。

(一三四七)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,尊者舍利弗在拘薩羅人間,依一聚落,止住田側。時,尊者舍利弗于晨朝時著衣持缽,入村乞食。

時,有一尼揵子飲酒狂醉,持一瓶酒從聚落出,見尊者舍利弗,而說偈言:

「米膏熏我身,  持米膏一瓶,  山地草樹木,  視之一金色。」

爾時,尊者舍利弗作是念:「作此惡聲,是惡邪物,而說是偈,我豈不能以偈答之?」時,尊者舍利弗即說偈言:

「無想味所熏,  持空三昧瓶,  山地草樹木,  視之如涕唾。」

(一三四八)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘在拘薩羅人間,住一林中,得他心智,煩惱有餘。去林不遠有井,有飲野干罐拘鉤頸。

時,彼野干作諸方便求脫,而自念言:「天遂欲明,田夫或出,當恐怖我。汝汲水罐怖我已久,可令我脫?」

時,彼比丘知彼野干心之所念,而說偈言:

「如來慧日出,  離林說空法,  心久恐怖我,  今可放令去。」

時,彼比丘自教授已,一切結盡,得阿羅漢。

(一三四九)

如是我聞:

爾時,天神即說偈言:

時,彼天神說此偈已,默然唸佛。

(一三五〇)

(一三五一)

如是我聞:

一時,佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹園

現代漢語譯本 當時,那位天神又說偈語: 『比丘應當這樣,信奉出家而非在家, 懷抱愚昧而出家,最終得以見到清凈。 我今接受佛法,當盡一生思索, 若你生病時,我當給你良藥。』 當時,那位天神說完偈語后,就消失不見了。 (一三四七) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,尊者舍利弗在拘薩羅地區,依附一個村落,住在田邊。當時,尊者舍利弗在早晨穿好衣服,拿著缽,進入村莊乞食。 當時,有一個尼犍子喝醉了酒,拿著一瓶酒從村裡出來,看見尊者舍利弗,就說偈語: 『米膏薰染我的身體,拿著一瓶米膏, 山地草木,看去都像金色。』 當時,尊者舍利弗這樣想:『發出這種惡聲,是邪惡之物,卻說出這樣的偈語,我難道不能用偈語回答他嗎?』當時,尊者舍利弗就說偈語: 『無想之味所薰染,拿著空三昧之瓶, 山地草木,看去都像鼻涕唾液。』 (一三四八) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘在拘薩羅地區,住在一片樹林中,獲得了他心智,但煩惱還有剩餘。離樹林不遠的地方有一口井,有一隻野乾的脖子被汲水罐的鉤子卡住。 當時,那隻野干想盡辦法想要脫身,自己想著:『天快亮了,農夫可能會出來,會嚇到我。你這汲水罐嚇唬我很久了,可以讓我脫身嗎?』 當時,那位比丘知道那隻野干心中所想,就說偈語: 『如來的智慧之日昇起,離開樹林宣說空法, 心久久地恐嚇我,現在可以放它離開了。』 當時,那位比丘自我教導后,一切煩惱都斷盡了,證得了阿羅漢果。 (一三四九) 如是我聞: 一時,佛在拘薩羅國地區,住在一片樹林中。 當時,有一位天神,依附在那片樹林中,看見佛的足跡,低頭仔細觀看,修習佛的念頭。當時,有一隻優樓鳥停在路上,想要踩踏佛的足跡。 當時,天神就說偈語: 『你這優樓鳥,圓眼棲息在樹間, 不要擾亂如來的足跡,破壞我念佛的境界。』 當時,那位天神說完這偈語后,就默默地念佛。 (一三五〇) 如是我聞: 一時,佛在拘薩羅地區,住在一片樹林中,依附在波吒利樹下住止。 當時,有一位天神依附在那片樹林中,就說偈語: 『今天風突然颳起,吹動波吒利樹, 落下波吒利花,供養于如來。』 當時,那位天神說完偈語后,就默默地住著。 (一三五一) 如是我聞: 一時,佛住在王舍城迦蘭陀竹園。

English version Then, that deity spoke again in verse: 'A bhikkhu should be like this, believing in going forth from home, not remaining at home, Embracing ignorance and going forth, ultimately attaining purity. I now accept the Dharma, and will contemplate it throughout my life, If you are ill, I will give you good medicine.' Then, that deity, having spoken the verse, immediately disappeared. (1347) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, the Venerable Shariputra was in the Kosala region, relying on a village, dwelling by a field. At that time, the Venerable Shariputra, in the morning, having put on his robes and taken his bowl, entered the village to beg for alms. At that time, there was a Nigantha, drunk with wine, carrying a bottle of wine, coming out of the village, who saw the Venerable Shariputra, and spoke in verse: 'Rice paste perfumes my body, holding a bottle of rice paste, The mountains, land, grass, and trees, all appear golden.' At that time, the Venerable Shariputra thought: 'Making such evil sounds, this is an evil thing, yet he speaks such a verse, can I not answer him with a verse?' At that time, the Venerable Shariputra spoke in verse: 'Perfumed by the taste of non-perception, holding a bottle of emptiness samadhi, The mountains, land, grass, and trees, all appear like snot and spittle.' (1348) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu in the Kosala region, dwelling in a forest, who had attained knowledge of others' minds, but still had remaining defilements. Not far from the forest was a well, and a jackal's neck was caught in the hook of a water-drawing pot. At that time, that jackal tried all means to escape, thinking to itself: 'It will soon be dawn, and the farmers may come out, which will frighten me. You, water-drawing pot, have frightened me for a long time, can you let me go?' At that time, that bhikkhu, knowing what the jackal was thinking, spoke in verse: 'The sun of the Tathagata's wisdom has risen, leaving the forest to proclaim the Dharma of emptiness, The mind has long frightened me, now it can be released and go.' At that time, that bhikkhu, having instructed himself, all his fetters were destroyed, and he attained Arhatship. (1349) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Kosala region, dwelling in a forest. At that time, there was a deity, dwelling in that forest, who saw the Buddha's footprints, lowered his head and carefully observed them, cultivating mindfulness of the Buddha. At that time, a certain owl was standing on the path, wanting to step on the Buddha's footprints. At that time, the deity spoke in verse: 'You, owl, with round eyes dwelling in the trees, Do not disturb the Tathagata's footprints, destroying my state of mindfulness of the Buddha.' At that time, that deity, having spoken this verse, silently contemplated the Buddha. (1350) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Kosala region, dwelling in a forest, resting under a patali tree. At that time, there was a deity dwelling in that forest, who spoke in verse: 'Today, the wind suddenly rises, blowing the patali tree, The patali flowers fall, offering to the Tathagata.' At that time, that deity, having spoken the verse, remained silent. (1351) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagriha.


時,有眾多比丘住支提山側,皆是阿練若比丘,著糞掃衣,常行乞食。

時,山神,依彼山住者,而說偈言:

「孔雀文繡身,  處鞞提醯山,  隨時出妙聲,  覺乞食比丘。  孔雀文繡身,  處鞞提醯山,  隨時出妙聲,  覺糞掃衣者。  孔雀文繡身,  處鞞提醯山,  隨時出妙聲,  覺依樹坐者。」

爾時,山林大火卒起,舉山洞然。時,有俗人而說偈言:

「今此頻陀山,  大火洞熾然,  焚燒彼竹林,  亦燒竹苑實。」

時,彼比丘作是念:「今彼俗人能說此偈,我今何不說偈答之?」即說偈言:

「一切有熾然,  無慧能救滅,  焚燒諸受欲,  亦燒不作苦。」

時,彼比丘說此偈已,默然而住。

「凈信我今欲,  隨彼八聖水,  徐流入涅槃,  不見魔自在。」

時,彼比丘說此偈已,默然而住

現代漢語譯本 當時,有許多比丘住在支提山旁,他們都是在偏僻處修行的比丘,穿著從垃圾堆撿來的衣服,經常出去乞食。 當時,住在山裡的山神,說了這樣的偈語: 『孔雀身上有美麗的紋彩, 住在鞞提醯山中, 隨時發出美妙的叫聲, 喚醒乞食的比丘。 孔雀身上有美麗的紋彩, 住在鞞提醯山中, 隨時發出美妙的叫聲, 喚醒穿著糞掃衣的人。 孔雀身上有美麗的紋彩, 住在鞞提醯山中, 隨時發出美妙的叫聲, 喚醒坐在樹下的人。』 當時,那位天神說完這偈語后,就默默地住了。 (一三五二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在王舍城的迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有許多比丘住在支提山,他們都修習在偏僻處修行的行為,穿著從垃圾堆撿來的衣服,經常出去乞食。那時,那娑佉多河岸崩塌,壓死了三個負責營建事務的比丘。 當時,住在支提山的天神說了這樣的偈語: 『乞食的阿蘭若修行者, 要謹慎,不要建造房屋, 沒看到那娑佉多河, 河岸突然崩塌。 壓死了那些建造房屋, 負責營建事務的三個比丘, 穿著糞掃衣的比丘, 要謹慎,不要建造房屋。 沒看到那娑佉多河, 河岸突然崩塌, 壓死了那些建造房屋, 負責營建事務的三個比丘。 住在樹下的比丘, 要謹慎,不要建造房屋, 沒看到那娑佉多河, 河岸突然崩塌。 壓死了那些建造房屋, 負責營建事務的三個比丘。』 當時,那位天神說完這偈語后,就默默地住了。 (一三五三) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位比丘住在頻陀山。 那時,山林突然起火,整座山都燃燒起來。當時,有一位俗人說了這樣的偈語: 『現在這座頻陀山, 大火熊熊燃燒, 燒燬了那片竹林, 也燒燬了竹園裡的果實。』 當時,那位比丘這樣想:『現在那位俗人能說出這樣的偈語,我為什麼不能說偈語來回答他呢?』於是就說了這樣的偈語: 『一切事物都在燃燒, 沒有智慧就無法熄滅, 燃燒著各種慾望, 也燃燒著不造作痛苦。』 當時,那位比丘說完這偈語后,就默默地住了。 (一三五四) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在迦蘭陀竹園。 當時,有一位比丘在恒河邊,住在一片樹林里。 當時,有一位出身名門的女子,經常被她的公婆責罵,來到恒河邊,說了這樣的偈語: 『恒河水啊,我現在想要, 隨著水流慢慢流入大海, 不再讓公婆, 常常對我嫌棄責罵。』 當時,那位比丘看到那位出身名門的女子,聽到她說偈語,這樣想:『那位出身名門的女子尚且能說偈語,我為什麼不能說偈語來回答她呢?』於是就說了這樣的偈語: 『清凈的信心啊,我現在想要, 隨著八聖道之水, 慢慢流入涅槃, 不再見到魔的自在。』 當時,那位比丘說完這偈語后,就默默地住了。

English version At that time, many monks were dwelling near Mount Chetiya, all of whom were forest-dwelling monks, wearing robes made of discarded cloth, and regularly going out for alms. At that time, a mountain deity, who lived on that mountain, spoke these verses: 'A peacock with patterned plumage, Dwelling on Mount Vepulla, Utters a beautiful sound in due time, Arousing the alms-seeking monks. A peacock with patterned plumage, Dwelling on Mount Vepulla, Utters a beautiful sound in due time, Arousing those who wear discarded robes. A peacock with patterned plumage, Dwelling on Mount Vepulla, Utters a beautiful sound in due time, Arousing those who sit under trees.' Then, that deity, having spoken these verses, remained silent. (1352) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagriha. At that time, many monks were dwelling on Mount Chetiya, all of whom were practicing forest-dwelling, wearing robes made of discarded cloth, and regularly going out for alms. Then, the bank of the Nasakhata River collapsed, killing three monks who were in charge of construction. At that time, a deity dwelling on Mount Chetiya spoke these verses: 'Alms-seeking forest-dwellers, Be cautious, do not build structures, Did you not see the Khata River, Its bank suddenly collapsing? Crushing those who were building, The three monks in charge of construction, Monks wearing discarded robes, Be cautious, do not build structures. Did you not see the Khata River, Its bank suddenly collapsing, Crushing those who were building, The three monks in charge of construction. Monks dwelling under trees, Be cautious, do not build structures, Did you not see the Khata River, Its bank suddenly collapsing? Crushing those who were building, The three monks in charge of construction.' Then, that deity, having spoken these verses, remained silent. (1353) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka. At that time, a certain monk was dwelling on Mount Pindara. Then, a great forest fire suddenly arose, and the entire mountain was ablaze. At that time, a layperson spoke these verses: 'Now this Mount Pindara, Is ablaze with a great fire, Burning that bamboo grove, Also burning the fruits of the bamboo garden.' Then, that monk thought, 'Now that layperson can speak these verses, why can't I speak verses in response?' And he spoke these verses: 'All things are burning, Without wisdom, there is no extinguishing, Burning are the desires and passions, Also burning is the non-creation of suffering.' Then, that monk, having spoken these verses, remained silent. (1354) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka. At that time, a certain monk was by the Ganges River, dwelling in a forest. At that time, a woman of noble lineage, who was often scolded by her in-laws, came to the bank of the Ganges River and spoke these verses: 'Ganges water, I now desire, To flow slowly into the sea, No longer to let my in-laws, See me and scold me again and again.' Then, that monk, seeing that woman of noble lineage and hearing her speak these verses, thought, 'That woman of noble lineage can speak verses, why can't I speak verses in response?' And he spoke these verses: 'Pure faith, I now desire, To follow the eightfold noble waters, Slowly flowing into Nirvana, No longer seeing the dominion of Mara.' Then, that monk, having spoken these verses, remained silent.

時,有盜者夜偷其瓜,見月欲出,而說偈言:

「明月汝莫出,  待我斷其瓜,  我持瓜去已,  任汝現不現。」

「惡魔汝莫出,  待我斷煩惱,  斷彼煩惱已,  任汝出不出。」

時,彼比丘說此偈已,默然而住。

時,彼比丘作是念:「此沙彌能說斯偈,我今何不說偈而答?」即說偈言:

「云何名為常?  常者唯涅槃。  云何為無常?  謂諸有為法。  云何名為直?  謂聖八正道。  云何名為曲?  曲者唯惡徑。」

時,尊者舍利弗到瓦師舍,從乞瓦甌。時,彼瓦師即說偈言:

「云何得名勝?  而不施一錢。  云何勝實德?  于財無所減。」

爾時,舍利弗說偈答言:

「若不食肉者,  而施彼以肉,  諸修梵行者,  施之以女色,  不坐高床者,  施以高廣床,  于彼臨行者,  施以息止處,  如是等施與,  于財不損減,  是則有名譽,  而不捨一錢,  實德名稱流,  于財無所減。」

時,彼瓦師復說偈言:

「汝今舍利弗,  所說實為善,  今施汝百甌,  非余亦不得。」

尊者舍利弗說偈答言:

「彼三十三天,  炎魔兜率陀,  化樂諸天人,  及他化自在,  瓦缽信以得,  而汝不生信。」

尊者舍利弗說此偈已,于瓦師舍默然出去

現代漢語譯本 (一三五五) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中。離樹林不遠的地方,有一塊種瓜的田地。 當時,有一個小偷晚上去偷瓜,看到月亮快要出來了,就說了這樣一首偈: 『明月啊你不要出來,等我把瓜摘完,我拿了瓜走後,你愛出來不出來。』 當時,那位比丘心想:『那個偷瓜的人都能說偈,我難道不能說偈回答他嗎?』於是就說了這樣一首偈: 『惡魔啊你不要出來,等我斷除煩惱,斷除煩惱之後,你愛出來不出來。』 當時,那位比丘說完這首偈后,就默默地住下了。 (一三五六) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中。 當時,有一個沙彌說了這樣一首偈: 『什麼叫做常?乞食叫做常。什麼叫做無常?僧眾的食物叫做無常。什麼叫做直?只有因陀羅的旗幟。什麼叫做曲?彎曲的只有鉤子。』 當時,那位比丘心想:『這個沙彌能說這樣的偈,我為什麼不說偈回答他呢?』於是就說了這樣一首偈: 『什麼叫做常?常只有涅槃。什麼叫做無常?是指一切有為法。什麼叫做直?是指聖八正道。什麼叫做曲?彎曲的只有惡道。』 當時,那位比丘說完這首偈后,就默默地住下了。 (一三五七) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位舍利弗的弟子,服藥后,馬上就吃粥。 當時,尊者舍利弗到瓦匠的家,向他乞討瓦缽。當時,那位瓦匠就說了這樣一首偈: 『怎樣才能獲得美名?卻不花費一文錢。怎樣才能獲得真實的功德?在財富上沒有減少。』 當時,舍利弗說了偈回答說: 『如果不吃肉的人,施捨給他肉食,對於修行梵行的人,施捨給他女色,不坐高床的人,施捨給他高廣的床,對於那些即將遠行的人,施捨給他們休息的地方,像這樣的施捨,在財富上沒有減少,這樣就能獲得名譽,卻不花費一文錢,真實的功德和名聲流傳,在財富上沒有減少。』 當時,那位瓦匠又說了這樣一首偈: 『你舍利弗,所說的確實很好,現在施捨給你一百個瓦缽,不是別人也得不到。』 尊者舍利弗說了偈回答說: 『那些三十三天,炎魔天、兜率天,化樂天的人們,以及他化自在天,瓦缽是靠信仰得到的,而你卻不生起信仰。』 尊者舍利弗說完這首偈后,就默默地離開了瓦匠的家。

English version (1355) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu in the Kosala region, living in a forest. Not far from the forest, there was a field where melons were grown. At that time, a thief went to steal melons at night. Seeing that the moon was about to rise, he spoke this verse: 'Bright moon, do not rise, wait for me to cut the melons, after I take the melons away, you can appear or not as you wish.' At that time, that bhikkhu thought: 'That melon thief can speak a verse, can't I speak a verse in response?' Then he spoke this verse: 'Evil demon, do not rise, wait for me to cut off the afflictions, after cutting off the afflictions, you can appear or not as you wish.' At that time, that bhikkhu, having spoken this verse, remained silent. (1356) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu in the Kosala region, living in a forest. At that time, a novice spoke this verse: 'What is called permanent? Begging for food is permanent. What is called impermanent? The food of the Sangha is impermanent. What is called straight? Only Indra's banner. What is called crooked? Only the hook is crooked.' At that time, that bhikkhu thought: 'This novice can speak such a verse, why shouldn't I speak a verse in response?' Then he spoke this verse: 'What is called permanent? Only Nirvana is permanent. What is called impermanent? It refers to all conditioned phenomena. What is called straight? It refers to the Noble Eightfold Path. What is called crooked? Only the evil path is crooked.' At that time, that bhikkhu, having spoken this verse, remained silent. (1357) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti. At that time, a disciple of Shariputra, having taken medicine, immediately ate porridge. At that time, Venerable Shariputra went to the house of a potter, asking for a clay bowl. At that time, that potter spoke this verse: 'How can one gain a good name? Without spending a single coin. How can one gain true merit? Without diminishing one's wealth.' Then, Shariputra spoke a verse in response: 'If one who does not eat meat, is given meat, to those who practice the holy life, give them female beauty, to those who do not sit on high beds, give them high and wide beds, to those who are about to travel, give them a place to rest, such giving, does not diminish wealth, thus one can gain fame, without spending a single coin, true merit and reputation flow, without diminishing wealth.' At that time, that potter spoke another verse: 'You, Shariputra, what you have said is truly good, now I will give you a hundred bowls, no one else can get them.' Venerable Shariputra spoke a verse in response: 'Those of the Thirty-three Heavens, the Yama Heaven, the Tushita Heaven, the Devas of the Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven, and the Devas of the Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven, clay bowls are obtained through faith, but you do not generate faith.' Venerable Shariputra, having spoken this verse, silently left the potter's house.

如是我聞:

一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘在拘薩羅人間,住于河側一林樹間

現代漢語譯本 (一三五八) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中。 當時,有一位貧窮的男子在樹林旁邊,這樣希望和思考,並說了偈語: 『如果能得到一頭豬,一瓶美酒,一個盛酒的杯子,讓人不斷地拿來享用,如果能得到這些,還會有什麼憂愁呢?』 當時,那位比丘這樣想:『這個貧窮的男子尚且能說偈語,我為什麼不能說呢?』於是說了偈語: 『如果能得到佛、法、僧三寶,比丘能善於說法,我沒有疾病,常常聽聞佛法,不畏懼眾魔的怨恨。』 當時,那位比丘說完這偈語后,就默默地住下了。 (一三五九) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中。 當時,那位比丘這樣思考:『如果能得到好的劫貝布,長七肘,寬二肘,做成衣服后,就樂於修行善法。』 當時,有一位依附在那片樹林的天神,這樣想:『這不是比丘應有的行為,住在樹林中,卻這樣思考,希望得到好衣服。』 當時,天神化作全身骨骼的鎖鏈,在那位比丘面前跳舞,並說了偈語: 『比丘想著劫貝布,長七肘,寬六尺,白天這樣想,知道晚上又會想什麼呢?』 當時,那位比丘立刻感到恐懼,身體戰慄,並說了偈語: 『停止吧,不需要劫貝布了,現在穿著糞掃衣,白天看到骨鎖跳舞,知道晚上又會看到什麼呢?』 當時,那位比丘心中驚恐之後,就正確地思考,專心修行,斷除了各種煩惱,證得了阿羅漢果。 (一三六〇) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中,證得了阿羅漢果,各種煩惱已經斷盡,該做的已經做完,已經捨棄了重擔,斷除了各種束縛,以正確的智慧和善心獲得了解脫。 當時,有一位女子在夜晚的黑暗中,天上下著小雨,閃電照亮,從樹林中經過,想要去見其他男子,卻跌入深泥中,手鐲斷裂,花環散落。當時,那位女子說了偈語: 『頭髮都散開了,花環落入深泥中,手鐲都破壞了,丈夫還會喜歡我嗎?』 當時,那位比丘這樣想:『女子尚且能說偈語,我難道不能說偈語回答她嗎?』 『煩惱都斷除了,度過了生死的泥潭,束縛都散落了,十方諸佛都尊敬我。』 當時,那位比丘說完偈語后,就默默地住下了。 (一三六一) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在河邊的一片樹林中。

English version (1358) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu in the Kosala region, living in a forest. At that time, there was a poor man by the side of the forest, who was hoping and thinking in this way, and spoke a verse: 'If I could get a pig, a bottle full of fine wine, a cup to hold it, and have people constantly bring it to me, if I could get these things, what else would I have to worry about?' At that time, that bhikkhu thought: 'This poor man is able to speak a verse, why can't I?' So he spoke a verse: 'If I could obtain the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, and a bhikkhu who teaches the Dharma well, I would be free from illness, always hear the Dharma, and not fear the hatred of the demons.' At that time, that bhikkhu, having spoken this verse, remained silent. (1359) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu in the Kosala region, living in a forest. At that time, that bhikkhu was thinking: 'If I could get good kashaya cloth, seven cubits long and two cubits wide, and make it into a robe, I would be happy to practice good deeds.' At that time, a deva who was attached to that forest thought: 'This is not the way a bhikkhu should behave, living in the forest and thinking like this, hoping for good clothes.' At that time, the deva transformed into a skeleton and danced in front of that bhikkhu, and spoke a verse: 'The bhikkhu thinks of kashaya cloth, seven cubits long and six feet wide, he thinks like this during the day, who knows what he thinks at night?' At that time, that bhikkhu immediately felt fear, his body trembled, and he spoke a verse: 'Stop, there is no need for kashaya cloth, now I wear rags from the dustbin, during the day I see a skeleton dancing, who knows what I will see at night?' At that time, that bhikkhu, having been frightened, then thought correctly, practiced diligently, cut off all defilements, and attained the state of an Arhat. (1360) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu in the Kosala region, living in a forest, who had attained the state of an Arhat, all defilements were exhausted, what needed to be done was done, he had abandoned the heavy burden, cut off all bonds, and with correct wisdom and a good heart had attained liberation. At that time, a woman in the darkness of night, with light rain falling and lightning flashing, was passing through the forest, wanting to go to another man, but fell into deep mud, her bracelets broke, and her flower garlands scattered. At that time, that woman spoke a verse: 'My hair is all disheveled, my flower garlands have fallen into the deep mud, my bracelets are all broken, will my husband still like me?' At that time, that bhikkhu thought: 'A woman is able to speak a verse, how can I not speak a verse to answer her?' 'All defilements are cut off, I have crossed the mud of birth and death, the bonds are all scattered, the Buddhas of the ten directions respect me.' At that time, that bhikkhu, having spoken the verse, remained silent. (1361) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Sravasti. At that time, there was a certain bhikkhu in the Kosala region, living in a forest by the side of a river.


時,有丈夫與婦相隨,度河住于岸邊,彈琴嬉戲,而說偈言:

「愛念而放逸,  逍遙青樹間,  流水流且清,  琴聲極和美,  春氣調適游,  快樂何是過。」

時,彼比丘作是念:「彼士夫尚能說偈,我豈不能說偈答之?

「受持清凈戒,  愛念等正覺,  沐浴三解脫,  善以極清涼,  人道具莊嚴,  快樂豈過是。」

時,彼比丘說此偈已,即默然而住。

(一三六二)

如是我聞:

一時佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

時,有異比丘在拘薩羅人間,住一林中。

時,有天神見諸鴿鳥而說偈言:

「鴿鳥當積聚,  胡麻米粟等,  于山頂樹上,  高顯作巢窟,  若當天雨時,  安極飲食宿。」

時,彼比丘作是念:「彼亦覺悟我!」即說偈言:

「凡夫積善法,  恭敬於三寶,  身壞命終時,  資神心安樂。」

時,彼比丘說此偈已,以即覺悟,專精思惟,除諸煩惱,得阿羅漢

現代漢語譯本 當時,有一對夫妻一同過河,住在岸邊,他們彈著琴嬉戲,並吟唱道: 『沉溺於愛慾而放縱,在青翠的樹木間逍遙自在,流水清澈地流淌,琴聲極其和諧美好,春天的氣息適宜遊玩,還有什麼快樂能超過這些呢?』 當時,那位比丘心想:『那俗人尚且能吟唱偈語,我難道不能吟唱偈語來回應他嗎?』 『受持清凈的戒律,愛慕並追求正覺,沐浴在三解脫之中,以善法獲得極致的清涼,具備人道的莊嚴,還有什麼快樂能超過這些呢?』 當時,那位比丘說完這偈語后,就默默地住下了。 (一三六二) 我是這樣聽說的: 一時,佛陀住在舍衛國的祇樹給孤獨園。 當時,有一位異比丘在拘薩羅地區的人間,住在一片樹林中。 當時,有一位天神看見鴿子們,便吟唱道: 『鴿子們應當積聚胡麻、米粟等食物,在山頂的樹上,高高地築起巢穴,如果天下雨的時候,就能安穩地飲食和住宿。』 當時,那位比丘心想:『他也在覺悟我!』於是吟唱道: 『凡夫積聚善法,恭敬三寶,當身體壞滅、生命終結時,神識就能得到安樂。』 當時,那位比丘說完這偈語后,就立刻覺悟了,專心精進地思惟,除去了各種煩惱,證得了阿羅漢果。

English version At that time, there was a husband and wife who crossed a river together and lived on the shore. They played music and frolicked, reciting a verse: 'Indulging in love and being unrestrained, wandering freely among the green trees, the flowing water is clear, the sound of the lute is extremely harmonious and beautiful, the spring air is suitable for strolling, what happiness could surpass these?' At that time, that bhikkhu thought: 'That layman can even recite verses, how can I not recite verses to respond to him?' 'Upholding pure precepts, loving and pursuing enlightenment, bathing in the three liberations, obtaining ultimate coolness through good dharma, possessing the dignity of the human path, what happiness could surpass these?' At that time, after that bhikkhu recited this verse, he remained silent. (1362) Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Sravasti. At that time, there was a different bhikkhu in the human realm of Kosala, living in a forest. At that time, a deva saw the pigeons and recited a verse: 'Pigeons should gather sesame, rice, and millet, etc., on the trees at the top of the mountain, building nests high up, so that when it rains, they can eat and rest in peace.' At that time, that bhikkhu thought: 'He is also awakening me!' So he recited a verse: 'Ordinary people accumulate good dharma, respect the Three Jewels, and when the body is destroyed and life ends, the spirit will find peace and happiness.' At that time, after that bhikkhu recited this verse, he immediately awakened, focused his mind on diligent contemplation, removed all afflictions, and attained the state of Arhat.
