【English Translation】 English version The Buddha Speaks of the Proper and Improper Times Sutra
Translated by Tripiṭaka 若羅嚴 (Ruo Luo Yan) of India
Thus have I heard:
At one time, the Buddha was in the Veṇuvana (Bamboo Grove Monastery) at Rājagṛha (Royal City).
At that time, the Buddha told the bhikṣus (monks), 'I shall explain to you what is the proper time and what is the improper time. Think about it carefully!'
The bhikṣus said, 'Yes, World Honored One! We shall accept your teachings and listen.'
The Buddha told the bhikṣus, 'Among these, what is the proper time? What is the improper time? Bhikṣus should know:
'During the winter solstice, from the 16th to the 30th day of the eighth month, seven 腳 (a unit of time) is the proper time, and five and a half 腳 is the improper time. From the 1st to the 15th day of the ninth month, eight 腳 is the proper time, and six 腳 and eight fingers is the improper time. From the 16th to the 30th day of the ninth month, nine 腳 is the proper time, and seven 腳 and six fingers is the improper time. From the 1st to the 15th day of the tenth month, ten 腳 is the proper time, and eight 腳 and three fingers is the improper time. From the 16th to the 30th day of the tenth month, eleven 腳 is the proper time, and nine 腳 and three fingers is the improper time. From the 1st to the 15th day of the eleventh month, twelve 腳 is the proper time, and ten 腳 and six fingers is the improper time. From the 16th to the 30th day of the eleventh month, eleven and a half 腳 is the proper time, and ten 腳 and one finger is the improper time. From the 1st to the 15th day of the twelfth month, eleven 腳 is the proper time, and nine 腳 and four fingers is the improper time.
'During the spring equinox, from the 16th to the 30th day of the twelfth month, ten 腳 is the proper time, and eight 腳 less one finger is the improper time. From the 1st to the 15th day of the first month, nine and a half 腳 is the proper time, and seven 腳 less three fingers is the improper time. From the 16th to the 30th day of the first month, nine 腳 is the proper time, and six 腳 less three fingers is the improper time. From the 1st to the 15th day of the second month, eight 腳 is the proper time, and five 腳 is the improper time. From the 16th to the 30th day of the second month, seven 腳 is the proper time, and four 腳 less three fingers is the improper time. From the 1st to the 15th day of the third month, six 腳 is the proper time, and three 腳 less four fingers is the improper time. On the 16th day of the third month
至三十日五腳為時，三腳少六指為非時。四月一日至十五日四腳為時，二腳少一指為非時。
「夏分四月十六日至三十日三腳為時，二腳少四指為非時。五月一日至十五日二腳為時，少三指為非時。五月十六日至三十日二腳半為時，一腳少為非時。六月一日至十五日四腳為時，二腳少二指為非時。六月十六日至三十日四腳半為時，二腳半為非時。七月一日至十五日五腳為時，三腳少為非時。七月十六日至三十日五腳半為時，三腳少為非時。八月一日至十五日六腳為時，四腳少為非時。八月十六日至三十日六腳半為時，四腳半少為非時。
「如是，諸比丘！我已說十二月時與非時。為諸聲聞之所應作，憐愍利益故說。我所應作已竟，汝等當行。若樹下空處，露坐思惟。諸比丘！莫為放逸，后為悔恨。是我所教誡。」佛說經竟。
時諸比丘皆大歡喜，勸助受持：
「因緣輕慢故， 命終墮惡道， 因緣修善者， 於此生天上， 緣斯修善業， 離惡得解脫， 不善觀因緣， 身壞入惡道。」
外國法師若羅嚴，手執胡本，口自宣譯。涼州道人，于填城中寫訖。
被褐懷玉，深智作愚；外如夷人，內懷明珠；千億萬劫，與道同體。
佛說時非時經
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 從四月一日到三十日，五腳（計量單位，表示時間長度）為時（適宜的時間），三腳少六指（計量單位，表示時間長度）為非時（不適宜的時間）。四月一日到十五日，四腳為時，二腳少一指為非時。 夏至后的四月十六日到三十日，三腳為時，二腳少四指為非時。五月一日到十五日，二腳為時，少三指為非時。五月十六日到三十日，二腳半為時，一腳少為非時。六月一日到十五日，四腳為時，二腳少二指為非時。六月十六日到三十日，四腳半為時，二腳半為非時。七月一日到十五日，五腳為時，三腳少為非時。七月十六日到三十日，五腳半為時，三腳少為非時。八月一日到十五日，六腳為時，四腳少為非時。八月十六日到三十日，六腳半為時，四腳半少為非時。 『如是，諸比丘（bhikshus，佛教僧侶）！我已經說了十二個月的時與非時。這是爲了聲聞（sravakas，聽聞佛法而證悟的弟子）們應該做的，因為憐憫和利益的緣故而說。我所應該做的已經做完，你們應當去修行。可以在樹下空曠的地方，露天靜坐思惟。諸比丘！不要放逸，以後會後悔。這是我所教誡的。』佛陀說完這部經。 當時，眾比丘都非常歡喜，勸勉幫助受持： 『因為輕慢因緣的緣故，命終之後會墮入惡道，因為修習善法的緣故，會因此而生到天上，憑藉修習這些善業，就能遠離惡道得到解脫，不善於觀察因緣，身壞之後會墮入惡道。』 外國法師若羅嚴，手拿著胡人的經本，親自口頭翻譯。涼州道人，在填城中抄寫完畢。 身穿粗布卻懷抱美玉，有深刻的智慧卻表現得像愚人一樣；外表如同邊遠地區的人，內心卻懷有明亮的珍珠；經歷千億萬劫，與真理的本體相同。 佛說時非時經
【English Translation】 English version: From the first to the thirtieth day of the fourth month, five 'feet' (a unit of measurement, representing a length of time) is the right time (suitable time), and three 'feet' less six 'fingers' (a unit of measurement, representing a length of time) is the wrong time (unsuitable time). From the first to the fifteenth day of the fourth month, four 'feet' is the right time, and two 'feet' less one 'finger' is the wrong time. From the sixteenth to the thirtieth day of the fourth month after the summer solstice, three 'feet' is the right time, and two 'feet' less four 'fingers' is the wrong time. From the first to the fifteenth day of the fifth month, two 'feet' is the right time, less three 'fingers' is the wrong time. From the sixteenth to the thirtieth day of the fifth month, two and a half 'feet' is the right time, one 'foot' less is the wrong time. From the first to the fifteenth day of the sixth month, four 'feet' is the right time, two 'feet' less two 'fingers' is the wrong time. From the sixteenth to the thirtieth day of the sixth month, four and a half 'feet' is the right time, two and a half 'feet' is the wrong time. From the first to the fifteenth day of the seventh month, five 'feet' is the right time, three 'feet' less is the wrong time. From the sixteenth to the thirtieth day of the seventh month, five and a half 'feet' is the right time, three 'feet' less is the wrong time. From the first to the fifteenth day of the eighth month, six 'feet' is the right time, four 'feet' less is the wrong time. From the sixteenth to the thirtieth day of the eighth month, six and a half 'feet' is the right time, four and a half 'feet' less is the wrong time. 'Thus, O bhikshus (bhikshus, Buddhist monks)! I have spoken of the right time and the wrong time for the twelve months. This is what should be done by the sravakas (sravakas, disciples who attain enlightenment by hearing the Dharma), spoken out of compassion and for their benefit. What I should do is now done, you should go and practice. You can sit in meditation under the trees in empty places, in the open air. O bhikshus! Do not be negligent, lest you regret it later. This is what I have taught.' The Buddha finished speaking this sutra. At that time, all the bhikshus were very happy, encouraging and helping each other to uphold it: 'Because of slighting the causes and conditions, after death one will fall into evil realms; because of cultivating good deeds, one will be born in the heavens; by relying on cultivating these good deeds, one can be free from evil and attain liberation; not being good at observing causes and conditions, after the body breaks down, one will fall into evil realms.' The foreign Dharma master Ruo Luo Yan, holding the barbarian's scripture in his hand, personally translated it orally. The Daoist of Liangzhou finished copying it in Tiancheng. Wearing coarse cloth but cherishing jade, having profound wisdom but acting like a fool; outwardly like a person from a remote region, inwardly cherishing a bright pearl; through billions of kalpas, being of the same essence as the Truth.
