比丘聽施經
東晉天竺三藏曇無蘭譯
聞如是：
一時，佛在舍衛國，祇樹給孤獨園。
時有一比丘，到講堂諸比丘所言：「諸賢者！今我不可經法，大著睡眠，不樂道行，疑諸經法。」
座中有一比丘，即行白佛：「有一比丘，字聽施，來到講堂，謂諸比丘言：『今我不可經法，大著睡眠，不樂道行，疑諸經法。』」
佛便報言：「是比丘癡，不守諸根門，不少食，不上夜后夜警順行，不觀諸善法，如是當那可經法；離睡眠，樂道行，不疑諸經法，聽施終不從此得是。」
佛言比丘：「以不守諸根門，不少食，不上夜后夜警順行，不觀諸善法，彼當那可經法；離睡眠，樂道行，不疑諸經法，終不從此得是。若比丘守諸根門，少食，上夜后夜警順行，觀諸善法，便可經法；離睡眠，樂道行，不疑諸經法，從是可得此。」
佛告比丘：「便呼聽施來。」
比丘便起，頭面禮佛足，往呼聽施。聽施即至佛所，頭面禮佛足已就座，佛便言：「聽施！汝所欲，便說之。」
聽施言：「今身不可經法，大著睡眠，不樂道行，疑諸經法。」
佛語聽施：「我欲問若事

比丘聽施經
東晉天竺三藏曇無蘭譯
聞如是：
一時，佛陀在舍衛國（Śrāvastī），祇樹給孤獨園（Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍika-ārāma）。
當時有一位比丘，來到講堂，對比丘們說：『諸位賢者！我現在無法理解經法，非常貪睡，不樂於修行，對經法產生懷疑。』
座中有一位比丘，立即去稟告佛陀：『有一位比丘，名叫聽施，來到講堂，對眾比丘說：』我現在無法理解經法，非常貪睡，不樂於修行，對經法產生懷疑。』
佛陀便說：『這位比丘真是愚癡，不守護六根（諸根門），不知節制飲食（少食），不利用深夜後半段保持清醒修行（不上夜后夜警順行），不觀察各種善法，這樣怎麼可能理解經法呢？想要遠離睡眠，樂於修行，不懷疑經法，聽施是無法從中得到的。』
佛陀對比丘們說：『因為不守護六根，不知節制飲食，不利用深夜後半段保持清醒修行，不觀察各種善法，他怎麼可能理解經法呢？想要遠離睡眠，樂於修行，不懷疑經法，終究無法從中得到。如果比丘能夠守護六根，節制飲食，利用深夜後半段保持清醒修行，觀察各種善法，便可以理解經法；想要遠離睡眠，樂於修行，不懷疑經法，從這些方面是可以得到的。』
佛陀告訴比丘：『去把聽施叫來。』
那位比丘便起身，頂禮佛足，前去叫聽施。聽施隨即來到佛陀處，頂禮佛足后就座，佛陀便說：『聽施！你有什麼想說的，就說出來吧。』
聽施說：『我現在無法理解經法，非常貪睡，不樂於修行，對經法產生懷疑。』
佛陀對聽施說：『我想問你一些事情……』

No. 504
The Bhikshu Ting Shi Sutra (Bhikshu Listening and Giving Sutra)
Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Tan Wu Lan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty from India
Thus have I heard:
At one time, the Buddha was in Śrāvastī (舍衛國), at the Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍika-ārāma (祇樹給孤獨園).
At that time, there was a bhikshu who came to the lecture hall and said to the bhikshus: 'Venerable ones! I am now unable to comprehend the Dharma, I am very sleepy, I do not enjoy practicing the Way, and I doubt the scriptures.'
A bhikshu in the assembly immediately went to inform the Buddha: 'There is a bhikshu named Ting Shi (聽施), who came to the lecture hall and said to the bhikshus: 'I am now unable to comprehend the Dharma, I am very sleepy, I do not enjoy practicing the Way, and I doubt the scriptures.'
The Buddha then said: 'That bhikshu is foolish, he does not guard the gates of his senses (諸根門), he does not eat in moderation (少食), he does not diligently practice during the late hours of the night (不上夜后夜警順行), and he does not contemplate virtuous dharmas. How can he possibly comprehend the Dharma in this way? If he wishes to be free from sleep, enjoy practicing the Way, and not doubt the scriptures, Ting Shi will not achieve this through such means.'
The Buddha said to the bhikshus: 'Because he does not guard the gates of his senses, does not eat in moderation, does not diligently practice during the late hours of the night, and does not contemplate virtuous dharmas, how can he possibly comprehend the Dharma? If he wishes to be free from sleep, enjoy practicing the Way, and not doubt the scriptures, he will ultimately not achieve this through such means. If a bhikshu can guard the gates of his senses, eat in moderation, diligently practice during the late hours of the night, and contemplate virtuous dharmas, then he can comprehend the Dharma; if he wishes to be free from sleep, enjoy practicing the Way, and not doubt the scriptures, he can achieve this through these means.'
The Buddha told the bhikshus: 'Go and call Ting Shi here.'
That bhikshu then arose, prostrated himself at the Buddha's feet, and went to call Ting Shi. Ting Shi then came to the Buddha's place, prostrated himself at the Buddha's feet, and sat down. The Buddha then said: 'Ting Shi! Whatever you wish to say, speak it.'
Ting Shi said: 'I am now unable to comprehend the Dharma, I am very sleepy, I do not enjoy practicing the Way, and I doubt the scriptures.'
The Buddha said to Ting Shi: 'I wish to ask you about something...'
，隨若所以知事說之。」
佛言：「若寧知，貪色不離、欲不離、戀慕不離、慷慨不離、愛不離，以彼色別離，時便生他變：憂愁、悲哀、痛亂、意殟，殟有是無？」
聽施言：「如是若干從彼有。」
佛言：「善哉！善哉！賢者如是應。聽施！」
佛言：「如彼不離，若寧知痛癢思想作行識，若人貪識不離、欲不離、戀慕不離、慷慨不離、愛不離，以彼識別離，時便生他變：憂愁、悲哀、痛亂、意殟，殟有是不？」
聽施言：「彼有是。」
佛言：「善哉！善哉！賢者如是應。聽施！」
佛言：「如彼不離，若寧知離貪色、離欲、離戀慕、離慷慨、離愛，以彼色別離，時不生他變：憂愁、悲哀、痛亂、意殟，殟彼有是無有？」
聽施言：「彼有是。」
佛言：「善哉！善哉！賢者如是應。聽施！」
佛言：「如彼離痛癢思想生死行識，若不貪識，無有欲、無戀慕、無有慷慨、無有愛，以彼識別離，時不生他變：憂愁、悲哀、痛亂、意殟，殟寧彼有是無有？」
聽施言：「彼有是。」
佛言：「善哉！善哉！如是應。聽施！」
佛便告聽施：「我欲為若說經法，上亦善，中亦善，至竟亦善；具為若現道行至竟，但諸善善好，當聽之
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 『那麼你如何得知這些事情呢？』
佛說：『如果你知道，對色（Rūpa，形態）的貪戀不捨、慾望不捨、愛戀不捨、慷慨不捨、愛不捨，當這些色（Rūpa）分離時，就會產生其他的變化：憂愁、悲哀、痛苦、混亂、意志消沉，這些消沉存在嗎？』
聽施（Ting Shi，人名）回答說：『確實，這些是從那裡產生的。』
佛說：『好啊！好啊！賢者應當如此。聽施（Ting Shi）！』
佛說：『如果對痛癢（Vedanā，感受）、思想（Saṃjñā，知覺）、作為（Saṃskāra，意志）、行（Karma，行為）、識（Vijñāna，意識）不捨，如果有人對識（Vijñāna）貪戀不捨、慾望不捨、愛戀不捨、慷慨不捨、愛不捨，當這些識（Vijñāna）分離時，就會產生其他的變化：憂愁、悲哀、痛苦、混亂、意志消沉，這些消沉存在嗎？』
聽施（Ting Shi）回答說：『這些是存在的。』
佛說：『好啊！好啊！賢者應當如此。聽施（Ting Shi）！』
佛說：『如果對離貪色（Rūpa）、離欲、離愛戀、離慷慨、離愛有所瞭解，當這些色（Rūpa）分離時，就不會產生其他的變化：憂愁、悲哀、痛苦、混亂、意志消沉，這些消沉存在嗎？』
聽施（Ting Shi）回答說：『這些是不存在的。』
佛說：『好啊！好啊！賢者應當如此。聽施（Ting Shi）！』
佛說：『如果對離痛癢（Vedanā）、思想（Saṃjñā）、生死行（Karma）、識（Vijñāna）有所瞭解，如果不貪戀識（Vijñāna），沒有慾望、沒有愛戀、沒有慷慨、沒有愛，當這些識（Vijñāna）分離時，就不會產生其他的變化：憂愁、悲哀、痛苦、混亂、意志消沉，這些消沉存在嗎？』
聽施（Ting Shi）回答說：『這些是不存在的。』
佛說：『好啊！好啊！應當如此。聽施（Ting Shi）！』
佛便告訴聽施（Ting Shi）：『我想為你講述經法，開頭是善的，中間是善的，結尾也是善的；完整地為你展現通往究竟的道路，只有善良美好，應當聽聞。』
【English Translation】 English version: 『According to what do you know and speak of these matters?』
The Buddha said: 『If you know that one is not detached from greed for form (Rūpa), not detached from desire, not detached from affection, not detached from generosity, not detached from love, when that form (Rūpa) is separated, then other changes arise: sorrow, grief, pain, confusion, depression. Does this depression exist?』
Ting Shi (person's name) replied: 『Indeed, these arise from that.』
The Buddha said: 『Good! Good! A wise person should be like this. Ting Shi!』
The Buddha said: 『If one is not detached from feeling (Vedanā), thought (Saṃjñā), formations (Saṃskāra), action (Karma), consciousness (Vijñāna), if one is not detached from greed for consciousness (Vijñāna), not detached from desire, not detached from affection, not detached from generosity, not detached from love, when that consciousness (Vijñāna) is separated, then other changes arise: sorrow, grief, pain, confusion, depression. Does this depression exist?』
Ting Shi (person's name) replied: 『These exist.』
The Buddha said: 『Good! Good! A wise person should be like this. Ting Shi!』
The Buddha said: 『If one knows detachment from greed for form (Rūpa), detachment from desire, detachment from affection, detachment from generosity, detachment from love, when that form (Rūpa) is separated, then other changes do not arise: sorrow, grief, pain, confusion, depression.

The Buddha said: 『If one knows detachment from feeling (Vedanā), thought (Saṃjñā), action (Karma), and consciousness (Vijñāna), if one is not greedy for consciousness (Vijñāna), without desire, without affection, without generosity, without love, when that consciousness (Vijñāna) is separated, then other changes do not arise: sorrow, grief, pain, confusion, depression. Does this depression exist?』
Ting Shi (person's name) replied: 『These do not exist.』
The Buddha said: 『Good! Good! It should be like this. Ting Shi!』
The Buddha then told Ting Shi (person's name): 『I wish to speak the Dharma to you, good in the beginning, good in the middle, good in the end; to fully show you the path leading to the end, only good and beautiful things, you should listen to it.』
，持著意中。」
聽施言：「唯諾。」
佛言：「曾有二人，俱出在道，其一人曉道徑，其一人不曉道徑。不曉道徑者，便往問曉道徑者言：『我欲至某聚鄉郡縣國，愿語我道所由。』曉道徑者便言：『汝從是道，直右行前，當有兩道，舍左道上右道，直右行須臾前當見溪谷；溪谷上亦當復有兩道，舍左道上右道，直右行須臾當見叢樹；叢樹上亦當復有兩道，舍左道上右道，直右行須臾稍稍便得若所欲至聚鄉郡縣國。』」
佛言：「我上頭所譬喻說，當知是一切所說，亦當諦觀此所說。上頭所說，不曉道徑者，謂世間邪道，亦復謂諸所受邪者所說。上頭曉道徑者，謂如來不著正覺，亦復謂諸所受正覺者。
「所說左道者，謂諸惡人三惡念：一者、慾念；二者、亂念；三者、賊害念；亦復謂邪見、邪念、邪說、邪意、邪行、邪方便、邪志、邪定。
「亦說右道者，謂三善念：一者、出家念；二者、不亂念；三者、不賊害念；亦復謂正見、正念、正說、正意、正行、正方便、正志、正定。
「所謂兩道者，謂人所疑；所說溪谷者，謂瞋恚；所說叢樹者，謂五樂：一者、眼樂色，愛慾可以好色貪著；二者、耳樂聲；三者、鼻樂香；四者、舌樂味；五者、身樂細軟，愛慾可以好色貪著。
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 『堅持你心中的目標。』
聽者回答：『遵命。』
佛說：『曾經有兩個人，一同出發趕路，其中一人熟悉道路，另一人不熟悉道路。不熟悉道路的人，就去問熟悉道路的人說：『我想要去某個村莊、城鎮、郡縣、國家，希望你告訴我該怎麼走。』熟悉道路的人便說：『你沿著這條路，一直向右走，前面會有兩條路，捨棄左邊的路，走右邊的路，一直向右走，一會兒就會看到溪谷；在溪谷那裡也應該又有兩條路，捨棄左邊的路，走右邊的路，一直向右走，一會兒就會看到樹叢；在樹叢那裡也應該又有兩條路，捨棄左邊的路，走右邊的路，一直向右走，慢慢地你就能到達你想要去的村莊、城鎮、郡縣、國家。』』
佛說：『我上面所做的譬喻，應當明白這一切所說的，也應當仔細觀察這些所說的。上面所說的不熟悉道路的人，指的是世間的邪道，也指那些接受邪說的人所說的話。上面所說的熟悉道路的人，指的是如來（Tathagata，佛的稱號）不執著的正覺，也指那些接受正覺的人。』
『所說的左邊的路，指的是各種惡人的三種惡念：第一是慾念；第二是散亂的念頭；第三是賊害的念頭；也指邪見、邪念、邪語、邪思、邪行、邪方便、邪志、邪定。』
『所說的右邊的路，指的是三種善念：第一是出家念；第二是不散亂的念頭；第三是不賊害的念頭；也指正見、正念、正語、正思、正行、正方便、正志、正定。』
『所謂兩條路，指的是人們的疑惑；所說的溪谷，指的是嗔恚（anger）；所說的樹叢，指的是五種享樂：第一是眼睛貪戀美色，因為愛慾而貪戀美好的事物；第二是耳朵貪戀聲音；第三是鼻子貪戀香氣；第四是舌頭貪戀美味；第五是身體貪戀柔軟的觸感，因為愛慾而貪戀美好的事物。』
【English Translation】 English version: 『Hold onto the intention in your mind.』
The listener replied: 『As you command.』
The Buddha said: 『Once there were two people, traveling together on a road. One of them knew the way, and the other did not. The one who did not know the way then asked the one who knew the way, saying: 『I wish to go to a certain village, town, county, or country. I hope you can tell me which way to go.』 The one who knew the way then said: 『You follow this road, go straight to the right, and there will be two roads. Abandon the left road and take the right road. Go straight to the right for a while, and you will see a stream valley; at the stream valley, there should also be two roads. Abandon the left road and take the right road. Go straight to the right for a while, and you will see a cluster of trees; at the cluster of trees, there should also be two roads. Abandon the left road and take the right road. Go straight to the right for a while, and gradually you will reach the village, town, county, or country you wish to go to.』』
The Buddha said: 『You should understand that the parable I just gave encompasses all that is said, and you should carefully observe what is said. The one who does not know the way in the parable refers to the evil paths of the world, and also to the words spoken by those who accept evil teachings. The one who knows the way in the parable refers to the Tathagata (Buddha's title) unattached to perfect enlightenment, and also to those who accept perfect enlightenment.』
『The left road refers to the three evil thoughts of evil people: first, lustful thoughts; second, distracted thoughts; third, harmful thoughts; it also refers to wrong views, wrong thoughts, wrong speech, wrong intentions, wrong actions, wrong means, wrong aspirations, and wrong concentration.』
『The right road refers to the three good thoughts: first, the thought of renunciation; second, the thought of non-distraction; third, the thought of non-harming; it also refers to right view, right thought, right speech, right intention, right action, right means, right aspiration, and right concentration.』
『The two roads refer to people's doubts; the stream valley refers to anger; the cluster of trees refers to the five pleasures: first, the eyes delight in beautiful sights, and lustful desires can lead to attachment to beautiful things; second, the ears delight in sounds; third, the nose delights in fragrances; fourth, the tongue delights in flavors; fifth, the body delights in soft and delicate sensations, and lustful desires can lead to attachment to beautiful things.』
所說聚鄉郡縣國者，謂無為德。」
佛告聽施：「是諸佛事，我以悲心故說，是其欲度脫者，我已愍傷之。今彼是若事，當以寂靜樹下，空閑一處，一心體行，若山澤冢間，當以果蓏為食，比丘莫貪慾，於世間居後悔之，是諸佛行，亦諸佛教。」
今佛已說，是賢者聽施，便歡喜思惟佛所說。
比丘聽施經
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 『所說的聚落、鄉鎮、郡縣、國家，指的是不以有為之法為德。』
佛陀告訴聽施：『這些都是諸佛的事業，我因為慈悲心的緣故才說這些，是爲了想要度脫他們，我已經憐憫傷痛他們了。現在他們如果是做這些事，應當在寂靜的樹下，空閑的地方，一心一意地身體力行；如果在山澤墳墓之間，應當以瓜果為食物，比丘不要貪圖慾望，在世間居住以後會後悔的，這些都是諸佛的修行，也是諸佛的教誨。』
現在佛陀已經說了這些，這位賢者聽施，便歡喜地思惟佛陀所說。
《比丘聽施經》
【English Translation】 English version: 『What is spoken of as gatherings, villages, counties, and countries refers to not considering active deeds as virtue.』
The Buddha told Ting Shi (Listening Giver): 『These are the deeds of all Buddhas. I speak of them because of my compassionate heart, wishing to deliver them. I have already pitied and grieved for them. Now, if they are doing these things, they should practice them wholeheartedly under a quiet tree, in a secluded place. If they are in the mountains, marshes, or among tombs, they should take fruits and melons as food. Bhikkhus (monks) should not be greedy for desires, for living in the world will bring regret later. These are the practices of all Buddhas, and also the teachings of all Buddhas.』
Now the Buddha has spoken these words, and the worthy Ting Shi (Listening Giver) rejoiced and contemplated what the Buddha had said.
