佛說水沫所漂經

東晉西域沙門竺曇無蘭譯

聞如是：

一時，婆伽婆在阿迎阇(波斯匿王所造觀也)恒水側，與大比丘眾五百人俱。時，有大聚沫為水所漂。世尊見已告諸比丘：「汝等頗見此沫聚為恒水所漂不？」

諸比丘對曰：「如是。世尊！」

世尊告曰：「此沫聚，若有目士，諦觀察之思惟分別，彼人見已諦觀察之思惟分別，空無所有，無來無往，亦不堅固。此水聚沫何可依怙？如是諸所有色，過去、當來、現在，若粗、若細、若遠、若近，彼有目士諦觀察之思惟分別。彼人見已諦觀察之思惟分別，空無所有，無來無往，空無所有，亦不堅固，此色陰有何堅固？譬如夏雨有泡現，或有生者，或有滅者，彼有目士諦觀察之思惟分別。彼人已見諦觀察之思惟分別，空無所有，無來無往，亦不堅固，猶如此水沫有何堅固？如是，此身中痛，當來過去現在，若粗、若細、若好、若丑、若遠、若近，彼有目士諦觀察之思惟分別

現代漢語譯本《佛說水沫所漂經》

這是我聽到的：

一時，佛陀在阿迎阇（波斯匿王建造的觀賞之處）恒河邊，與五百位大比丘在一起。當時，有一大團泡沫被水沖走。世尊看見后，告訴眾比丘：『你們看見這團泡沫被恒河沖走了嗎？』

眾比丘回答說：『是的，世尊！』

世尊說：『這團泡沫，如果有明眼人，仔細觀察、思考、分辨，那人看見后仔細觀察、思考、分辨，會發現它是空無所有的，無來無往，也不堅固。這團水沫有什麼可以依賴的呢？同樣，所有色法，無論是過去、未來還是現在，無論是粗糙還是細微，無論是遙遠還是臨近，如果有明眼人仔細觀察、思考、分辨，那人看見后仔細觀察、思考、分辨，會發現它是空無所有的，無來無往，也不堅固。這色陰有什麼堅固的呢？譬如夏雨中的水泡，有的產生，有的消滅，如果有明眼人仔細觀察、思考、分辨，那人看見后仔細觀察、思考、分辨，會發現它是空無所有的，無來無往，也不堅固，就像這水沫有什麼堅固的呢？同樣，這身體中的感受，無論是過去、未來還是現在，無論是粗糙還是細微，無論是好還是醜，無論是遙遠還是臨近，如果有明眼人仔細觀察、思考、分辨

English version The Sutra of the Buddha's Discourse on Being Carried Away by Water Foam

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the Bhagavan was by the side of the Ganges River at Ayodhya (a place of observation built by King Pasenadi), together with a large assembly of five hundred bhikkhus. At that time, there was a large mass of foam being carried away by the water. The World-Honored One, having seen it, said to the bhikkhus, 'Do you see this mass of foam being carried away by the Ganges River?'

The bhikkhus replied, 'Yes, World-Honored One!'

The World-Honored One said, 'This mass of foam, if there is a person with eyes, who carefully observes, contemplates, and discerns it, that person, having seen it, carefully observes, contemplates, and discerns it, will find it to be empty and without substance, without coming or going, and not firm. What can be relied upon in this mass of water foam? Likewise, all forms, whether past, future, or present, whether coarse or fine, whether far or near, if there is a person with eyes who carefully observes, contemplates, and discerns them, that person, having seen them, carefully observes, contemplates, and discerns them, will find them to be empty and without substance, without coming or going, and not firm. What firmness is there in this aggregate of form? For example, like bubbles appearing in the summer rain, some arise and some perish, if there is a person with eyes who carefully observes, contemplates, and discerns them, that person, having seen them, carefully observes, contemplates, and discerns them, will find them to be empty and without substance, without coming or going, and not firm, just like this water foam, what firmness is there? Likewise, the feelings in this body, whether past, future, or present, whether coarse or fine, whether good or bad, whether far or near, if there is a person with eyes who carefully observes, contemplates, and discerns them.'

。彼已觀察思惟分別，覺知空無所有，無來無往，亦不堅固，此痛陰中有何堅固？譬若夏後日日正中，無有云曀，野馬熾盛，彼有目士而觀察之思惟分別。彼已觀察思惟分別，則覺知空無所有，無來無往，亦不堅固，此野馬有何堅固？如是，諸所有想，過去、當來、現在，若粗、若細、若好、若丑、若遠、若近，彼有目士而觀察之思惟分別。彼已觀察思惟分別，空無所有，無來無往，亦無堅固，此想陰中有何堅固？譬如有人從城郭村落出，求堅固彼器，便往大叢樹中，若見芭蕉樹生茂盛好，人見者歡喜，獨生無枝葉，若斷其根作三四段，在處皮處皮剝卻，欲求實不可得，況欲得堅固？彼有目士諦觀察思惟分別。彼已觀察思惟分別，空無所有，無來無往，亦不堅固，此芭蕉樹有何堅固？如是，諸所有行，過去、當來、現在，若粗、若細、若好、若丑、若遠、若近，彼有目士而觀察之思惟分別。彼已觀察思惟分別，覺知空無所有，無來無往，亦不堅固，此行陰有何堅固？譬如黠慧幻師及幻師弟子，在眾人前自現幻術，若有目士諦觀察思惟分別。彼已觀察思惟分別，空無所有，無來無往，亦不堅固，此幻術有何堅固？如是，諸所有識，過去、當來、現在，若粗、若細、若好、若丑、若遠、若近，彼有目士而諦觀察思惟分別

現代漢語譯本：他已經觀察、思考、分辨，覺知到（痛陰）空無所有，無來無往，也不堅固。這痛陰之中有什麼堅固可言呢？譬如夏日正午，沒有云彩遮蔽，野馬（指陽光下的蒸騰現象）熾熱旺盛，有眼力的人觀察、思考、分辨。他已經觀察、思考、分辨，就覺知到（野馬）空無所有，無來無往，也不堅固。這野馬有什麼堅固可言呢？如此，所有想（陰），無論是過去、未來、現在，粗大的、細微的、美好的、醜陋的、遙遠的、近處的，有眼力的人觀察、思考、分辨。他已經觀察、思考、分辨，（覺知到想陰）空無所有，無來無往，也不堅固。這想陰之中有什麼堅固可言呢？譬如有人從城郭村落出來，想要尋找堅固的器物，就到大樹林中，如果看到芭蕉樹生長茂盛美好，人們見了歡喜，（芭蕉樹）獨自生長沒有枝葉，如果砍斷它的根，分成三四段，在每一段都剝去外皮，想要找到實在的東西卻不可得，更何況想要得到堅固的東西呢？有眼力的人仔細觀察、思考、分辨。他已經觀察、思考、分辨，（覺知到芭蕉樹）空無所有，無來無往，也不堅固。這芭蕉樹有什麼堅固可言呢？如此，所有行（陰），無論是過去、未來、現在，粗大的、細微的、美好的、醜陋的、遙遠的、近處的，有眼力的人觀察、思考、分辨。他已經觀察、思考、分辨，覺知到（行陰）空無所有，無來無往，也不堅固。這行陰之中有什麼堅固可言呢？譬如聰明的魔術師和魔術師的弟子，在眾人面前表演幻術，有眼力的人仔細觀察、思考、分辨。他已經觀察、思考、分辨，（覺知到幻術）空無所有，無來無往，也不堅固。這幻術有什麼堅固可言呢？如此，所有識（陰），無論是過去、未來、現在，粗大的、細微的、美好的、醜陋的、遙遠的、近處的，有眼力的人仔細觀察、思考、分辨。他已經觀察、思考、分辨，覺知到（識陰）空無所有，無來無往，也不堅固。這識陰之中有什麼堅固可言呢？

English version: He has observed, contemplated, and discerned, realizing that (the feeling aggregate) is empty, without coming or going, and not solid. What solidity is there in this feeling aggregate? It is like the midday sun in summer, without any clouds, where the mirage is intense. A person with good eyesight observes, contemplates, and discerns it. Having observed, contemplated, and discerned, he realizes that (the mirage) is empty, without coming or going, and not solid. What solidity is there in this mirage? Likewise, all perceptions, whether past, future, or present, gross or subtle, good or bad, far or near, a person with good eyesight observes, contemplates, and discerns them. Having observed, contemplated, and discerned, (he realizes that the perception aggregate) is empty, without coming or going, and not solid. What solidity is there in this perception aggregate? It is like a person who leaves a city or village, seeking a solid vessel, and goes into a large forest. If he sees a banana tree growing lush and beautiful, which people are pleased to see, growing alone without branches or leaves, and if he cuts its root into three or four pieces, peeling off the skin from each piece, he cannot find anything substantial, let alone anything solid. A person with good eyesight carefully observes, contemplates, and discerns it. Having observed, contemplated, and discerned, (he realizes that the banana tree) is empty, without coming or going, and not solid. What solidity is there in this banana tree? Likewise, all volitional formations, whether past, future, or present, gross or subtle, good or bad, far or near, a person with good eyesight observes, contemplates, and discerns them. Having observed, contemplated, and discerned, he realizes that (the volitional formations aggregate) is empty, without coming or going, and not solid. What solidity is there in this volitional formations aggregate? It is like a clever magician or a magician's apprentice who performs illusions in front of a crowd. A person with good eyesight carefully observes, contemplates, and discerns it. Having observed, contemplated, and discerned, (he realizes that the illusion) is empty, without coming or going, and not solid. What solidity is there in this illusion? Likewise, all consciousness, whether past, future, or present, gross or subtle, good or bad, far or near, a person with good eyesight carefully observes, contemplates, and discerns it. He has observed, contemplated, and discerned, realizing that (the consciousness aggregate) is empty, without coming or going, and not solid. What solidity is there in this consciousness aggregate?

。彼已觀察思惟分別，空無所有，無來無往，亦不堅固，此識陰有何堅固？」

爾時，世尊便說偈言：

「色如彼聚沫，　　痛如彼水泡，想如夏野馬，　　行如芭蕉樹，識如彼幻術，　　最勝之所說。若能諦觀察，　　思惟而分別，空亦無所有。　　若能作是觀，諦察此身中，　　大智之所說，當滅此三法，　　能捨除去色，此行亦如是，　　幻師不真術。」

爾時，諸比丘聞佛所說，歡喜奉行

現代漢語譯本：他已經觀察、思考、分辨，發現（識陰）空無所有，沒有來處也沒有去處，也不堅固，這識陰有什麼堅固可言呢？那時，世尊就說了偈語：『色』就像水面上的泡沫，『受』就像水中的氣泡，『想』就像夏日原野上的野馬，『行』就像芭蕉樹（中空不實），『識』就像幻術，這是最殊勝的教導。如果能夠仔細觀察，思考並加以分辨，就會發現（五蘊）空無所有。如果能夠這樣觀察，仔細審視這身體，這是大智慧的教導，就能滅除這三種法（色、受、想），能夠捨棄並去除色（蘊），這行（蘊）也是如此，就像幻術師的虛幻法術一樣。當時，眾比丘聽聞佛陀所說，歡喜地奉行。

English version: He has observed, contemplated, and discerned that (the consciousness aggregate) is empty and without substance, with no coming or going, and not firm. What firmness can this consciousness aggregate have? At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse: 'Form' is like a mass of foam, 'feeling' is like a water bubble, 'Perception' is like a wild horse in a summer field, 'volition' is like a banana tree (hollow and unreal), 'Consciousness' is like an illusion, this is the most excellent teaching. If one can observe carefully, contemplate and discern, one will find that (the five aggregates) are empty and without substance. If one can observe in this way, carefully examine this body, this is the teaching of great wisdom, one can extinguish these three dharmas (form, feeling, perception), and be able to abandon and remove form (aggregate), this volition (aggregate) is also like this, like the illusory magic of a magician. At that time, the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully practiced accordingly.
