+Opening
| Sabbāsavasutta | All the asinine-inclinations | 一切愚痴倾向 |
| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. | 一时,佛陀住在舍卫城祇树林给孤独园。 |
| Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: | There the Buddha addressed the monks: | 佛陀在那里对僧侣们说: |
| “bhikkhavo”ti. | “monks!” | “比丘们!” |
| “Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. | “Venerable sir,” they replied. | “尊者,”他们答道。 |
| Bhagavā etadavoca: | The Buddha said this: | 佛陀说了这些: |
| “sabbāsavasaṃvarapariyāyaṃ vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi. | “monks, I will teach you the explanation of the restraint of all asinine-inclinations. | “比丘们,我将教导你们如何抑制一切愚痴倾向。 |
| Taṃ suṇātha, sādhukaṃ manasi karotha, bhāsissāmī”ti. | Listen and pay close attention, I will speak.” | 仔细听,我将要讲。” |
| “Evaṃ, bhante”ti kho te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. | “Yes, sir,” they replied. | “是的,尊者,”他们答道。 |
| Bhagavā etadavoca: | The Buddha said this: | 佛陀说了这些: |
| “Jānato ahaṃ, bhikkhave, passato āsavānaṃ khayaṃ vadāmi, no ajānato no apassato. | “monks, I say that the ending of asinine-inclinations is for one who knows and sees, not for one who does not know or see. | “比丘们,我说愚痴倾向的止息是为那些知晓和看见的人,而不是为那些不知晓或看不见的人。 |
| Kiñca, bhikkhave, jānato kiñca passato āsavānaṃ khayaṃ vadāmi? | For one who knows and sees what? | 知晓和看见什么? |
| Yoniso ca manasikāraṃ ayoniso ca manasikāraṃ. | Proper attention and improper attention. | 正确的专注和不正确的专注。 |
| Ayoniso, bhikkhave, manasikaroto anuppannā ceva āsavā uppajjanti, uppannā ca āsavā pavaḍḍhanti; | When you pay improper attention, asinine-inclinations arise, and once arisen they grow. | 当你进行不正确的专注时,未生起的愚痴倾向就会生起,而一旦生起,它们就会增长。 |
| yoniso ca kho, bhikkhave, manasikaroto anuppannā ceva āsavā na uppajjanti, uppannā ca āsavā pahīyanti. | When you pay proper attention, asinine-inclinations don’t arise, and those that have already arisen are given up. | 当你进行正确的专注时,未生起的愚痴倾向就不会生起,而那些已生起的则会被舍弃。 |
| Atthi, bhikkhave, āsavā dassanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā saṃvarā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā paṭisevanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā adhivāsanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā parivajjanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā vinodanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā bhāvanā pahātabbā. | Some asinine-inclinations should be given up by seeing, some by restraint, some by using, some by enduring, some by avoiding, some by dispelling, and some by developing. | 有些愚痴倾向应通过见来舍弃,有些通过抑制,有些通过运用,有些通过忍受,有些通过避免,有些通过消除,有些通过培养。 |

By enduring, they’ve given up the asinine-inclinations that should be given up by enduring. By avoiding, they’ve given up the asinine-inclinations that should be given up by avoiding. By dispelling, they’ve given up the asinine-inclinations that should be given up by dispelling. By developing, they’ve given up the asinine-inclinations that should be given up by developing. | 现在,比丘,通过见,他舍弃了应通过见来舍弃的愚痴倾向。通过抑制,他舍弃了应通过抑制来舍弃的愚痴倾向。通过运用,他舍弃了应通过运用来舍弃的愚痴倾向。通过忍受,他舍弃了应通过忍受来舍弃的愚痴倾向。通过避免,他舍弃了应通过避免来舍弃的愚痴倾向。通过消除,他舍弃了应通过消除来舍弃的愚痴倾向。通过培养,他舍弃了应通过培养来舍弃的愚痴倾向。 |
| ayaṃ vuccati, bhikkhave: ‘bhikkhu sabbāsavasaṃvarasaṃvuto viharati, acchecchi taṇhaṃ, vivattayi saṃyojanaṃ, sammā mānābhisamayā antamakāsi dukkhassā’”ti. | They’re called a monk who lives having restrained all asinine-inclinations, who has cut off craving, untied the fetters, and by rightly comprehending conceit has made an end of suffering.” | 他被称为一个已抑制所有愚痴倾向的比丘,已断除贪爱,解开束缚,并透过正当理解的傲慢而止息了苦。” |
| Idamavoca bhagavā. | That is what the Buddha said. | 佛陀如是说。 |
| Attamanā te bhikkhū bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinandunti. | Satisfied, the monks were happy with what the Buddha said. | 比丘们心满意足,对佛陀所说感到高兴。 |

| Atha dve bhikkhū āgaccheyyuṃ jighacchādubbalyaparetā. | Then two monks were to come who were weak with hunger. | 这时,有两位饥饿的比丘走过来。 |
| Tyāhaṃ evaṃ vadeyyaṃ: | I’d say to them: | 我会对他们说: |
| ‘ahaṃ khomhi, bhikkhave, bhuttāvī pavārito paripuṇṇo pariyosito suhito yāvadattho; | ‘monks, I have eaten and refused more food, being full, and having had as much as I need. | ‘比丘们,我已吃饱,不再需要食物,并且已经足够。 |

| Sace ākaṅkhatha, bhuñjatha, no ce tumhe bhuñjissatha, idānāhaṃ appaharite vā chaḍḍessāmi, appāṇake vā udake opilāpessāmī’ti. | Eat it if you like. Otherwise I’ll throw it out where there is little that grows, or drop it into water that has no living creatures.’ | 你们如果愿意就吃吧。否则我会把它扔到贫瘠的地方,或者丢进没有活物的水中。’ |
+§1.2 – (first monk turns down offer, goes hungry)
| Tatrekassa bhikkhuno evamassa: | Then one of those monks thought: | 于是其中一位比丘想: |
| ‘bhagavā kho bhuttāvī pavārito paripuṇṇo pariyosito suhito yāvadattho; | ‘The Buddha has eaten and refused more food. | ‘佛陀已吃饱,不再需要食物。 |
| atthi cāyaṃ bhagavato piṇḍapāto atirekadhammo chaḍḍanīyadhammo. | And he has some extra alms-food that’s going to be thrown away. | 他还有一些多余的食物,正要被丢弃。 |

| Vuttaṃ kho panetaṃ bhagavatā: | But the Buddha has also said: | 但佛陀也曾说过: |
| “dhammadāyādā me, bhikkhave, bhavatha, mā āmisadāyādā”ti. | “Be my heirs in the ☸Dharma, not in material things.” | “要成为我的法嗣,而不是物质的继承者。” |
| Āmisaññataraṃ kho panetaṃ, yadidaṃ piṇḍapāto. | And alms-food is a kind of material thing. | 而食物也是一种物质。 |
| Yannūnāhaṃ imaṃ piṇḍapātaṃ abhuñjitvā imināva jighacchādubbalyena evaṃ imaṃ rattindivaṃ vītināmeyyan’ti. | Instead of eating this alms-food, why don’t I spend this day and night weak with hunger?’ | 与其吃这份食物,我为什么不带着饥饿虚弱度过这一天一夜呢?’ |

+§1.3 – (second monk accepts food)
| Atha dutiyassa bhikkhuno evamassa: | Then the second of those monks thought: | 于是第二位比丘想: |
| ‘bhagavā kho bhuttāvī pavārito paripuṇṇo pariyosito suhito yāvadattho; | ‘The Buddha has eaten and refused more food. | ‘佛陀已吃饱,不再需要食物。 |
| atthi cāyaṃ bhagavato piṇḍapāto atirekadhammo chaḍḍanīyadhammo. | And he has some extra alms-food that’s going to be thrown away. | 他还有一些多余的食物,正要被丢弃。 |

| So taṃ piṇḍapātaṃ bhuñjitvā jighacchādubbalyaṃ paṭivinodetvā evaṃ taṃ rattindivaṃ vītināmeyya. | And that’s what they did. | 他们就是这样做的。 |
+§1.4 – (Buddha praises first monk, because it conduces to few wishes)
| Kiñcāpi so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu taṃ piṇḍapātaṃ bhuñjitvā jighacchādubbalyaṃ paṭivinodetvā evaṃ taṃ rattindivaṃ vītināmeyya, atha kho asuyeva me purimo bhikkhu pujjataro ca pāsaṃsataro ca. | Even though that monk, after eating the alms-food, spent the day and night rid of hunger and weakness, it is the former monk who is more worthy of respect and praise. | 尽管那名比丘吃了食物后,摆脱了饥饿和虚弱地度过了一天一夜,但前一位比丘更值得尊敬和赞扬。 |
| Taṃ kissa hetu? | Why is that? | 为什么会这样? |
| Tañhi tassa, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno dīgharattaṃ appicchatāya santuṭṭhiyā sallekhāya subharatāya vīriyārambhāya saṃvattissati. | Because for a long time that will conduce to that monk being of few wishes, content, self-effacing, easy to look after, and energetic. | 因为长期以来,那将有助于那位比丘少欲、知足、谦逊、易于照料、精进。 |
| Tasmātiha me, bhikkhave, dhammadāyādā bhavatha, mā āmisadāyādā. | So, monks, be my heirs in the ☸Dharma, not in material things. | 所以,比丘们,你们要成为我的法嗣,而不是物质的继承者。 |
| Atthi me tumhesu anukampā: | Out of compassion for you, I think: | 出于对你们的慈悲,我这样想: |
| ‘kinti me sāvakā dhammadāyādā bhaveyyuṃ, no āmisadāyādā’”ti. | ‘How can my disciples become heirs in the ☸Dharma, not in material things?’” | ‘我的弟子们如何才能成为法的继承者,而不是物质的继承者呢?’” |
| Idamavoca bhagavā. | That is what the Buddha said. | 佛陀如是说。 |
| Idaṃ vatvāna sugato uṭṭhāyāsanā vihāraṃ pāvisi. | When he had spoken, the Holy One got up from his seat and entered his dwelling. | 说完,世尊从座位上起身,进入自己的住处。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾聽說。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā vesāliyaṃ viharati bahinagare aparapure vanasaṇḍe. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Vesālī in a woodland grove behind the town. | 一時,佛陀住在毘舍離城後方的林園中。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena sunakkhatto licchaviputto acirapakkanto hoti imasmā dhammavinayā. | Now at that time Sunakkhatta the Licchavi had recently left this Dharma and training. | 那時,離車族人善星最近剛離開這教法和訓練。 |
| So vesāliyaṃ parisati evaṃ vācaṃ bhāsati: | He was telling a crowd in Vesālī: | 他在毘舍離城對群眾說: |
| “natthi samaṇassa gotamassa uttari manussadhammā alamariyañāṇadassanaviseso. | “The ascetic Gotama has no superhuman distinction in knowledge and vision worthy of the noble ones. | “沙門喬達摩沒有超人殊勝的聖者智見。 |
| Takkapariyāhataṃ samaṇo gotamo dhammaṃ deseti vīmaṃsānucaritaṃ sayampaṭibhānaṃ. | He teaches what he’s worked out by logic, following a line of inquiry, expressing his own perspective. | 他所教導的都是他透過邏輯推導、循著探究路線、表達自己觀點所得到的。 |
| Yassa ca khvāssa atthāya dhammo desito so niyyāti takkarassa sammā dukkhakkhayāyā”ti. | And his teaching leads those who practice it to the complete ending of suffering, the goal for which it’s taught.” | 他的教法引導修行者達到苦的完全止息,這就是其教導的目的。” |
| Atha kho āyasmā sāriputto pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya vesāliṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. | Then Venerable Sāriputta robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Vesālī for alms. | 然後舍利弗尊者早上穿好衣服,帶著缽和衣,進入毘舍離城乞食。 |
| Assosi kho āyasmā sāriputto sunakkhattassa licchaviputtassa vesāliyaṃ parisati evaṃ vācaṃ bhāsamānassa: “natthi samaṇassa gotamassa uttari manussadhammā alamariyañāṇadassanaviseso. Takkapariyāhataṃ samaṇo gotamo dhammaṃ deseti vīmaṃsānucaritaṃ sayampaṭibhānaṃ. Yassa ca khvāssa atthāya dhammo desito so niyyāti takkarassa sammā dukkhakkhayāyā”ti. |
He heard what Sunakkhatta was saying. | 他聽到善星在說什麼。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā sāriputto vesāliyaṃ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho āyasmā sāriputto bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “sunakkhatto, bhante, licchaviputto acirapakkanto imasmā dhammavinayā. So vesāliyaṃ parisati evaṃ vācaṃ bhāsati: ‘natthi samaṇassa gotamassa uttari manussadhammā alamariyañāṇadassanaviseso. Takkapariyāhataṃ samaṇo gotamo dhammaṃ deseti vīmaṃsānucaritaṃ sayampaṭibhānaṃ. Yassa ca khvāssa atthāya dhammo desito so niyyāti takkarassa sammā dukkhakkhayāyā’”ti. |
Then he wandered for alms in Vesālī. After the meal, on his return from alms-round, he went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened. | 然後他在毘舍離乞食。飯後,從乞食回來,他去見佛陀,頂禮後坐在一旁,並告訴他發生了什麼事。 |
| “Kodhano heso, sāriputta, sunakkhatto moghapuriso. | “Sāriputta, Sunakkhatta, that foolish man, is angry. | “舍利弗,那個愚蠢的善星生氣了。 |
| Kodhā ca panassa esā vācā bhāsitā. | His words are spoken out of anger. | 他的話是出於憤怒而說的。 |
| ‘Avaṇṇaṃ bhāsissāmī’ti kho, sāriputta, sunakkhatto moghapuriso vaṇṇaṃyeva tathāgatassa bhāsati. | Thinking he criticizes the Realized One, in fact he just praises him. | 他以為自己在批評如來,實際上他只是在讚美如來。 |
| Vaṇṇo heso, sāriputta, tathāgatassa yo evaṃ vadeyya: | For it is praise of the Realized One to say: | 因為說: |
| ‘yassa ca khvāssa atthāya dhammo desito so niyyāti takkarassa sammā dukkhakkhayāyā’ti. | ‘His teaching leads those who practice it to the complete ending of suffering, the goal for which it’s taught.’ | ‘他的教法引導修行者達到苦的完全止息,這就是其教導的目的。’這就是對如來的讚美。 |
| Ayampi hi nāma, sāriputta, sunakkhattassa moghapurisassa mayi dhammanvayo na bhavissati: | But there’s no way Sunakkhatta will infer about me from The Dharma: | 但是,善星絕不可能從教法中推斷出我的: |

He understands how sentient beings are reborn according to their deeds. ‘These dear beings did bad things by way of body, speech, and mind. They spoke ill of the noble ones; they had wrong view; and they chose to act out of that wrong view. When their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell. These dear beings, however, did good things by way of body, speech, and mind. They never spoke ill of the noble ones; they had right view; and they chose to act out of that right view. When their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.’ And so, with clairvoyance that is purified and superhuman, he sees sentient beings passing away and being reborn—inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, in a good place or a bad place. He understands how sentient beings are reborn according to their deeds. | 此外,如來以清淨超人的天眼通,看見眾生逝去和再生——低劣和優越,美麗和醜陋,生於善趣或惡趣。他了解眾生如何依其業力而再生。「這些親愛的眾生以身、語、意行惡。他們誹謗聖者;他們有邪見;他們選擇依據那邪見而行事。當他們身壞命終後,他們再生於惡趣、惡處、地獄、地獄道。然而,這些親愛的眾生以身、語、意行善。他們從未誹謗聖者;他們有正見;他們選擇依據那正見而行事。當他們身壞命終後,他們再生於善趣、天界。」就這樣,他以清淨超人的天眼通,看見眾生逝去和再生——低劣和優越,美麗和醜陋,生於善趣或惡趣。他了解眾生如何依其業力而再生。 |

| tapassī sudaṃ homi paramatapassī, lūkho sudaṃ homi paramalūkho, jegucchī sudaṃ homi paramajegucchī, pavivitto sudaṃ homi paramapavivitto. | I used to be a self-mortifier, the ultimate self-mortifier. I used to live rough, the ultimate rough-liver. I used to be a shunner, the ultimate shunner. I used to be secluded, in ultimate seclusion. | 哪八種? |
| Tatrāssu me idaṃ, sāriputta, tapassitāya hoti—acelako homi muttācāro hatthāpalekhano, naehibhaddantiko natiṭṭhabhaddantiko; nābhihaṭaṃ na uddissakataṃ na nimantanaṃ sādiyāmi. | And this is what my self-mortification was like. I went naked, ignoring conventions. I licked my hands, and didn’t come or stop when asked. I didn’t consent to food brought to me, or food prepared specially for me, or an invitation for a meal. | 剎帝利、婆羅門、居士和沙門的會眾。四大天王天神的會眾。三十三天會眾。魔羅會眾。梵天會眾。 |
| So na kumbhimukhā paṭiggaṇhāmi, na kaḷopimukhā paṭiggaṇhāmi, na eḷakamantaraṃ, na daṇḍamantaraṃ, na musalamantaraṃ, na dvinnaṃ bhuñjamānānaṃ, na gabbhiniyā, na pāyamānāya, na purisantaragatāya, na saṅkittīsu, na yattha sā upaṭṭhito hoti, na yattha makkhikā saṇḍasaṇḍacārinī; na macchaṃ na maṃsaṃ na suraṃ na merayaṃ na thusodakaṃ pivāmi; | I didn’t receive anything from a pot or bowl; or from someone who keeps sheep, or who has a weapon or a shovel in their home; or where a couple is eating; or where there is a woman who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or who has a man in her home; or where food for distribution is advertised; or where there’s a dog waiting or flies buzzing. I accepted no fish or meat or liquor or wine, and drank no beer. | 這就是八種會眾。 |

| So kho ahaṃ, sāriputta, ye te goṭṭhā paṭṭhitagāvo apagatagopālakā, tattha catukkuṇḍiko upasaṅkamitvā yāni tāni vacchakānaṃ taruṇakānaṃ dhenupakānaṃ gomayāni tāni sudaṃ āhāremi. | I would go on all fours into the cow-pens after the cattle had left and eat the dung of the young suckling calves. | 我會在牛群離開後,四肢爬行進入牛欄,吃那些吃奶幼犢的糞便。 |
| Yāvakīvañca me, sāriputta, sakaṃ muttakarīsaṃ apariyādinnaṃ hoti, sakaṃyeva sudaṃ muttakarīsaṃ āhāremi. | As long as my own urine and excrement lasted, I would even eat that. | 只要我自己的屎尿還在,我甚至會吃那個。 |
| Idaṃsu me, sāriputta, mahāvikaṭabhojanasmiṃ hoti. (4) | Such was my eating of most unnatural things. | 這就是我吃極不自然之物的修行。 |
| So kho ahaṃ, sāriputta, aññataraṃ bhiṃsanakaṃ vanasaṇḍaṃ ajjhogāhetvā viharāmi. | I would plunge deep into an awe-inspiring forest grove and stay there. | 我會深入一個令人生畏的林苑並待在那裡。 |
| Tatrāssudaṃ, sāriputta, bhiṃsanakassa vanasaṇḍassa bhiṃsanakatasmiṃ hoti— | It was so awe-inspiring that | 那裡是如此令人生畏,以至於 |
| yo koci avītarāgo taṃ vanasaṇḍaṃ pavisati, yebhuyyena lomāni haṃsanti. | normally it would make your hair stand on end if you weren’t free of greed. | 若非離貪之人,通常會毛骨悚然。 |
| So kho ahaṃ, sāriputta, yā tā rattiyo sītā hemantikā antaraṭṭhakā himapātasamayā tathārūpāsu rattīsu rattiṃ abbhokāse viharāmi, divā vanasaṇḍe; | And on cold nights like the eight days of winter when the snow falls I stayed in the open by night and in the forest by day. | 在下雪的冬季八天那樣寒冷的夜晚,我夜晚待在空曠處,白天待在森林裡。 |
| gimhānaṃ pacchime māse divā abbhokāse viharāmi, rattiṃ vanasaṇḍe. | But in the last month of summer I’d stay in the open by day and in the forest by night. | 但在夏天的最後一個月,我白天待在空曠處,夜晚待在森林裡。 |
| Apissu maṃ, sāriputta, ayaṃ anacchariyagāthā paṭibhāsi pubbe assutapubbā: | And then these verses, which were neither supernaturally inspired, nor learned before in the past, occurred to me: | 然後這些偈頌,既非天啟,也非過去所學,在我心中浮現: |
| ‘Sotatto sosinno ceva, | ‘Scorched and frozen, | 「燒灼與冰凍, |
| eko bhiṃsanake vane; | alone in the awe-inspiring forest. | 獨處於令人生畏的森林。 |
| Naggo na caggimāsīno, | Naked, no fire to sit beside, | 裸身,無火可依傍, |
| esanāpasuto munī’ti. | the sage still pursues his quest.’ | 聖者仍精勤探求。」 |
| So kho ahaṃ, sāriputta, susāne seyyaṃ kappemi chavaṭṭhikāni upadhāya. | I would make my bed in a charnel ground, with the bones of the dead for a pillow. | 我會在塚間就寢,以死人骨頭為枕。 |
| Apissu maṃ, sāriputta, gāmaṇḍalā upasaṅkamitvā oṭṭhubhantipi, omuttentipi, paṃsukenapi okiranti, kaṇṇasotesupi salākaṃ pavesenti. | Then the cowboys would come up to me. They’d spit and piss on me, throw mud on me, even poke sticks in my ears. | 然後牧童們會走近我。他們對我吐口水、小便,向我丟泥巴,甚至用棍子戳我的耳朵。 |
| Na kho panāhaṃ, sāriputta, abhijānāmi tesu pāpakaṃ cittaṃ uppādetā. | But I don’t recall ever having a bad thought about them. | 但我不記得曾對他們起過任何惡念。 |
| Idaṃsu me, sāriputta, upekkhāvihārasmiṃ hoti. | Such was my abiding in equanimous-observation. | 這就是我安住於捨的修行。 |

| So kho ahaṃ, sāriputta, ‘udaracchaviṃ parimasissāmī’ti piṭṭhikaṇṭakaṃyeva pariggaṇhāmi, ‘piṭṭhikaṇṭakaṃ parimasissāmī’ti udaracchaviṃyeva pariggaṇhāmi, yāvassu me, sāriputta, udaracchavi piṭṭhikaṇṭakaṃ allīnā hoti tāyevappāhāratāya. | Due to eating so little, the skin of my belly stuck to my backbone, so that when I tried to rub the skin of my belly I grabbed my backbone, and when I tried to rub my backbone I rubbed the skin of my belly. | 由於吃得太少,我的肚皮貼著脊椎骨,所以當我試圖撫摸肚皮時,我抓到的是脊椎骨,而當我試圖撫摸脊椎骨時,我摸到的是肚皮。 |

But the Realized One would not run out of Dhamma Dharmas, words and phrases of the Dharmas, or spontaneous answers. | 他們只為了吃飯、喝水、上廁所和睡覺以消除疲勞而暫停。但如來的法教、教言詞句或隨機應答,是永不枯竭的。 |
| Atha me te cattāro sāvakā vassasatāyukā vassasatajīvino vassasatassa accayena kālaṃ kareyyuṃ. | And at the end of a hundred years my four disciples would pass away. | 而在一百年後,我的四位弟子將會逝去。 |
| Mañcakena cepi maṃ, sāriputta, pariharissatha, nevatthi tathāgatassa paññāveyyattiyassa aññathattaṃ. | Even if you have to carry me around on a stretcher, there will never be any deterioration in the Realized One’s proficiency in wisdom. | 即使你們必須用擔架抬著我,如來的智慧圓滿也絕不會有任何退化。 |
| Yaṃ kho taṃ, sāriputta, sammā vadamāno vadeyya: | And if there’s anyone of whom it may be rightly said that | 如果說有誰可以被恰當地稱為 |
| ‘asammohadhammo satto loke uppanno bahujanahitāya bahujanasukhāya lokānukampāya atthāya hitāya sukhāya devamanussānan’ti, mameva taṃ sammā vadamāno vadeyya ‘asammohadhammo satto loke uppanno bahujanahitāya bahujanasukhāya lokānukampāya atthāya hitāya sukhāya devamanussānan’”ti. |

| Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā nāgasamālo bhagavato piṭṭhito ṭhito hoti bhagavantaṃ bījayamāno. | Now at that time Venerable Nāgasamāla was standing behind the Buddha fanning him. | 那時,尊者那伽薩摩羅正站在佛陀身後為祂搧風。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā nāgasamālo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then he said to the Buddha: | 於是他對佛陀說: |
| “acchariyaṃ, bhante, abbhutaṃ, bhante. | “It’s incredible, sir, it’s amazing! | 「不可思議,世尊,真是驚人! |
| Api hi me, bhante, imaṃ dhammapariyāyaṃ sutvā lomāni haṭṭhāni. | While I was listening to this exposition of The Dharma my hair stood up! | 我聽這段開示時,毛髮都豎立起來了! |
| Konāmo ayaṃ, bhante, dhammapariyāyo”ti? | What is the name of this exposition of The Dharma?” | 這段開示的名稱是什麼?」 |
| “Tasmātiha tvaṃ, nāgasamāla, imaṃ dhammapariyāyaṃ lomahaṃsanapariyāyotveva naṃ dhārehī”ti. | “Well, Nāgasamāla, you may remember this exposition of The Dharma as ‘The Hair-raising Discourse’.” | 「那麼,那伽薩摩羅,你可以將這段開示記為『身毛豎立經』。」 |
| Idamavoca bhagavā. | That is what the Buddha said. | 佛陀如是說。 |
| Attamano āyasmā nāgasamālo bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinandīti. | Satisfied, Venerable Nāgasamāla was happy with what the Buddha said. | 尊者那伽薩摩羅心滿意足,對佛陀所說感到歡喜。 |

| Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya kapilavatthuṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. | Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Kapilavatthu for alms. | 那時,佛陀在清晨著衣持缽,入迦毗羅衛城乞食。 |
| Kapilavatthusmiṃ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yena mahāvanaṃ tenupasaṅkami divāvihārāya. | He wandered for alms in Kapilavatthu. After the meal, on his return from alms-round, he went to the Great Wood, | 他在迦毗羅衛城乞食。飯後,從乞食回來,他前往大林, |

| “kiṃvādī samaṇo kimakkhāyī”ti? | “What does the ascetic teach? What does he explain?” | 「沙門教導什麼?他解說什麼?」 |
| “Yathāvādī kho, āvuso, sadevake loke samārake sabrahmake sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya na kenaci loke viggayha tiṭṭhati, yathā ca pana kāmehi visaṃyuttaṃ viharantaṃ taṃ brāhmaṇaṃ akathaṃkathiṃ chinnakukkuccaṃ bhavābhave vītataṇhaṃ saññā nānusenti— | “Sir, my teaching is such that one does not conflict with anyone in this world with its gods, Māras, and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans. And it is such that perceptions do not underlie the brahmin who lives detached from sensual pleasures, without doubting, stripped of worry, and rid of craving for rebirth in this or that state. | 「先生,我的教導是這樣的:人不會與此世間的任何人——包括天、魔、梵,此眾生——包括沙門、婆羅門、天、人——發生衝突。並且,對於那遠離欲樂、無疑、斷憂、離此生彼生之渴愛的婆羅門,諸想不再潛伏於心。 |
| evaṃvādī kho ahaṃ, āvuso, evamakkhāyī”ti. | That’s what I teach, and that’s what I explain.” | 這就是我所教導的,這就是我所解說的。」 |

| Atha kho bhagavā sāyanhasamayaṃ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yena nigrodhārāmo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi. | Then in the late afternoon, the Buddha came out of retreat and went to the Banyan Tree Monastery, sat down on the seat spread out, | 於是,在傍晚時分,佛陀從靜修中出來,回到榕園,在鋪好的座位上坐下, |
| Nisajja kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: | and told the monks what had happened. | 並將所發生的事告訴了諸比丘。 |

The Ball of Honey
Madhupiṇḍika Sutta (MN 18)
Introduction
This discourse plays a central role in the early Buddhist analysis of conflict. As might be expected, the blame for conflict lies within, in the unskillful habits of the mind, rather than without. The culprit in this case is a habit called papañca. Unfortunately, none of the early texts give a clear definition of what the word papañca means, so it’s hard to find a precise English equivalent for the term. However, they do give a clear analysis of how papañca arises, how it leads to conflict, and how it can be ended. In the final analysis, these are the questions that matter—more than the precise definition of terms—so we will deal with them first before proposing a few possible translation equivalents for the word.
Three passages in the discourses—DN 21, MN 18, and Sn 4:11—map the causal processes that give rise to papañca and lead from papañca to conflict. Because the Buddhist analysis of causality is generally non-linear, with plenty of room for feedback loops, the maps vary in some of their details. In DN 21, the map reads like this:
the perceptions & categories of papañca > thinking > desire > dear-&-not-dear > envy & stinginess > rivalry & hostility
In Sn 4:11, the map is less linear and can be diagrammed like this:
perception > the categories of papañca
perception > name & form > contact > appealing & unappealing > desire > dear-&-not-dear > stinginess/divisiveness/quarrels/disputes
In MN 18, the map is this:
contact > feeling > perception > thinking > the perceptions & categories of papañca
In this last case, however, the bare outline misses some of the important implications of the way this process is phrased. In the full passage, the analysis starts out in an impersonal tone:
“Dependent on eye & forms, eye-consciousness arises [similarly with the rest of the six senses]. The meeting of the three is contact. With contact as a requisite condition, there is feeling.”
Starting with feeling, the notion of an “agent”—in this case, the feeler—acting on “objects,” is introduced:
“What one feels, one perceives [labels in the mind]. What one perceives, one thinks about. What one thinks about, one ‘papañcizes.’”
Through the process of papañca, the agent then becomes a victim of his/her own patterns of thinking:
“Based on what a person papañcizes, the perceptions & categories of papañca assail him/her with regard to past, present, & future forms cognizable via the eye [as with the remaining senses].”
What are these perceptions & categories that assail the person who papañcizes? Sn 4:14 states that the root of the categories of papañca is the perception, “I am the thinker.” From this self-reflexive thought—in which one objectifies a “self,” a thing corresponding to the concept of “I”— a number of categories can be derived: being/not-being, me/not-me, mine/not-mine, doer/done-to, signifier/signified. Once one’s self becomes a thing under the rubric of these categories, it’s impossible not to be assailed by the perceptions & categories derived from these basic distinctions. When there’s the sense of identification as a being that needs to feed (see Khp 4), then based on the feelings arising from sensory contact, some feelings will seem appealing—worth feeding on—and others will seem worth pushing away. From this there grows desire, which comes into conflict with the desires of others who are also feeding because they, too, engage in papañca. This is how inner objectification breeds external contention.
How can this process be ended? Through a shift in perception, caused by the way one attends to feelings, using the categories of appropriate attention (see MN 2). As the Buddha states in DN 21, rather than viewing a feeling as an appealing or unappealing thing, one should look at it as part of a causal process: When a particular feeling is pursued, do skillful or unskillful qualities increase in the mind? If skillful qualities increase, the feeling may be pursued. If unskillful qualities increase, it shouldn’t. When comparing feelings that lead to skillful qualities, notice that those endowed with thinking (directed thought) and evaluation are less refined than those free of thinking and evaluation, as in the higher stages of mental absorption, or jhāna. When seeing this, there is a tendency to opt for the more refined feelings, and this cuts through the act of thinking that, according to MN 18, provides the basis for papañca.
In following this program, the notion of agent and victim is avoided, as is self-reflexive thinking in general. There is simply the analysis of cause-effect processes. One is still making use of dualities—distinguishing between unskillful and skillful (and affliction/lack of affliction, the results of unskillful and skillful qualities)—but the distinction is between processes, not things. Thus one’s analysis avoids the type of thinking that, according to DN 21, depends on the perceptions and categories of papañca, and in this way the vicious cycle by which thinking and papañca keep feeding each other is cut.
Ultimately, by following this program to greater and greater levels of refinement through the higher levels of mental absorption, one finds less and less to relish and enjoy in the six senses and the mental processes based on them. With this sense of disenchantment, the processes of feeling and thought are stilled, and there is a breakthrough to the cessation of the six sense spheres. When these spheres cease, is there anything else left? Ven. Sāriputta, in AN 4:173 warns us not to ask, for to ask if there is, isn’t, both-is-and-isn’t, neither-is-nor-isn’t anything left in that dimension is to papañcize what is free from papañca. However, this dimension is not a total annihilation of experience. It’s a type of experience that DN 11 calls consciousness without surface, luminous all around, where water, earth, fire, & wind have no footing, where long/short, coarse/fine, fair/foul, name/form are all brought to an end. This is the fruit of the path of arahantship—a path that makes use of dualities but leads to a fruit beyond them.
It may come as cold comfort to realize that conflict can be totally overcome only with the realization of arahantship, but it’s important to note that by following the path recommended in DN 21—learning to avoid references to any notion of “self” and learning to view feelings not as things but as parts of a causal process affecting the qualities in the mind—the basis for papañca is gradually undercut, and there are fewer and fewer occasions for conflict. In following this path, one reaps its increasing benefits all along the way.
Translating papañca: As one writer has noted, the word papañca has had a wide variety of meanings in Indian thought, with only one constant: In Buddhist philosophical discourse it carries negative connotations, usually of falsification and distortion. The word itself is derived from a root that means diffuseness, spreading, proliferating. The Pali Commentaries define papañca as covering three types of thought: craving, conceit, and views. They also note that it functions to slow the mind down in its escape from saṁsāra. Because its categories begin with the objectifying thought, “I am the thinker,” I have chosen to render the word as “objectification,” although some of the following alternatives might be acceptable as well: self-reflexive thinking, reification, proliferation, complication, elaboration, distortion. The word offers some interesting parallels to the postmodern notion of logocentric thinking, but it’s important to note that the Buddha’s program of deconstructing this process differs sharply from that of postmodern thought.

Unfortunately, none of the early texts give a clear definition of what the word papañca means, so it’s hard to find a precise English equivalent for the term. However, they do give a clear analysis of how papañca arises, how it leads to conflict, and how it can be ended. In the final analysis, these are the questions that matter—more than the precise definition of terms—so we will deal with them first before proposing a few possible translation equivalents for the word.
Three passages in the discourses—DN 21, MN 18, and Sn 4:11—map the causal processes that give rise to papañca and lead from papañca to conflict. Because the Buddhist analysis of causality is generally non-linear, with plenty of room for feedback loops, the maps vary in some of their details. In DN 21, the map reads like this:
the perceptions & categories of papañca > thinking > desire > dear-&-not-dear > envy & stinginess > rivalry & hostility
In Sn 4:11, the map is less linear and can be diagrammed like this:
perception > the categories of papañca
perception > name & form > contact > appealing & unappealing > desire > dear-&-not-dear > stinginess/divisiveness/quarrels/disputes
In MN 18, the map is this:
contact > feeling > perception > thinking > the perceptions & categories of papañca
In this last case, however, the bare outline misses some of the important implications of the way this process is phrased. In the full passage, the analysis starts out in an impersonal tone:
“Dependent on eye & forms, eye-consciousness arises [similarly with the rest of the six senses]. The meeting of the three is contact. With contact as a requisite condition, there is feeling.”
Starting with feeling, the notion of an “agent”—in this case, the feeler—acting on “objects,” is introduced:
“What one feels, one perceives [labels in the mind]. What one perceives, one thinks about. What one thinks about, one ‘papañcizes.’”
Through the process of papañca, the agent then becomes a victim of his/her own patterns of thinking:
“Based on what a person papañcizes, the perceptions & categories of papañca assail him/her with regard to past, present, & future forms cognizable via the eye [as with the remaining senses].”
What are these perceptions & categories that assail the person who papañcizes? Sn 4:14 states that the root of the categories of papañca is the perception, “I am the thinker.” From this self-reflexive thought—in which one objectifies a “self,” a thing corresponding to the concept of “I”— a number of categories can be derived: being/not-being, me/not-me, mine/not-mine, doer/done-to, signifier/signified. Once one’s self becomes a thing under the rubric of these categories, it’s impossible not to be assailed by the perceptions & categories derived from these basic distinctions. When there’s the sense of identification as a being that needs to feed (see Khp 4), then based on the feelings arising from sensory contact, some feelings will seem appealing—worth feeding on—and others will seem worth pushing away. From this there grows desire, which comes into conflict with the desires of others who are also feeding because they, too, engage in papañca. This is how inner objectification breeds external contention.
How can this process be ended? Through a shift in perception, caused by the way one attends to feelings, using the categories of appropriate attention (see MN 2). As the Buddha states in DN 21, rather than viewing a feeling as an appealing or unappealing thing, one should look at it as part of a causal process: When a particular feeling is pursued, do skillful or unskillful qualities increase in the mind? If skillful qualities increase, the feeling may be pursued. If unskillful qualities increase, it shouldn’t. When comparing feelings that lead to skillful qualities, notice that those endowed with thinking (directed thought) and evaluation are less refined than those free of thinking and evaluation, as in the higher stages of mental absorption, or jhāna. When seeing this, there is a tendency to opt for the more refined feelings, and this cuts through the act of thinking that, according to MN 18, provides the basis for papañca.
In following this program, the notion of agent and victim is avoided, as is self-reflexive thinking in general. There is simply the analysis of cause-effect processes. One is still making use of dualities—distinguishing between unskillful and skillful (and affliction/lack of affliction, the results of unskillful and skillful qualities)—but the distinction is between processes, not things. Thus one’s analysis avoids the type of thinking that, according to DN 21, depends on the perceptions and categories of papañca, and in this way the vicious cycle by which thinking and papañca keep feeding each other is cut.
Ultimately, by following this program to greater and greater levels of refinement through the higher levels of mental absorption, one finds less and less to relish and enjoy in the six senses and the mental processes based on them. With this sense of disenchantment, the processes of feeling and thought are stilled, and there is a breakthrough to the cessation of the six sense spheres. When these spheres cease, is there anything else left? Ven. Sāriputta, in AN 4:173 warns us not to ask, for to ask if there is, isn’t, both-is-and-isn’t, neither-is-nor-isn’t anything left in that dimension is to papañcize what is free from papañca. However, this dimension is not a total annihilation of experience. It’s a type of experience that DN 11 calls consciousness without surface, luminous all around, where water, earth, fire, & wind have no footing, where long/short, coarse/fine, fair/foul, name/form are all brought to an end. This is the fruit of the path of arahantship—a path that makes use of dualities but leads to a fruit beyond them.
It may come as cold comfort to realize that conflict can be totally overcome only with the realization of arahantship, but it’s important to note that by following the path recommended in DN 21—learning to avoid references to any notion of “self” and learning to view feelings not as things but as parts of a causal process affecting the qualities in the mind—the basis for papañca is gradually undercut, and there are fewer and fewer occasions for conflict. In following this path, one reaps its increasing benefits all along the way.
Translating papañca: As one writer has noted, the word papañca has had a wide variety of meanings in Indian thought, with only one constant: In Buddhist philosophical discourse it carries negative connotations, usually of falsification and distortion. The word itself is derived from a root that means diffuseness, spreading, proliferating. The Pali Commentaries define papañca as covering three types of thought: craving, conceit, and views. They also note that it functions to slow the mind down in its escape from saṁsāra. Because its categories begin with the objectifying thought, “I am the thinker,” I have chosen to render the word as “objectification,” although some of the following alternatives might be acceptable as well: self-reflexive thinking, reification, proliferation, complication, elaboration, distortion. The word offers some interesting parallels to the postmodern notion of logocentric thinking, but it’s important to note that the Buddha’s program of deconstructing this process differs sharply from that of postmodern thought.

226 Da˚ḍapāni, whose name means “stick-in-hand,” was so called because he used to walk around ostentatiously with a golden walking stick, even though he was still young and healthy. According to MA, he sided with Devadatta, the Buddha’sarch foe, when the latter attempted to create a schism in the Buddha’s following. His manner of asking the question is arrogant and deliberately provocative.
227 The first part of the Buddha’s reply directly counters Da˚ḍapāni’s aggressive attitude. MA quotes in this connection SN 22:94/iii.138: “Bhikkhus, I do not dispute with the world, it is the world that disputes with me. A speaker of Dhamma does not dispute with anyone in the world.” The second part may be taken to mean that, for the arahant (spoken of here as “that brahmin” with reference to the Buddha himself), perceptions no longer awaken the dormant underlying tendencies to defilements, to be enumerated in §8.
228 This response seems to be an expression of frustration and bewilderment.
229 The interpretation of this cryptic passage hinges on the word papañca and the compound papañca-saññā-sankhā. Ñm had translated the former as “diversification” and the latter as “calculations about perceptions of diversification.” It seems, however, that the primary problem to which the term papañca points is not “diversification,” which may be quite in place when the sensory field itself displays diversity, but the propensity of the worldling’s imagination to erupt in an effusion of mental commentary that obscures the bare data of cognition. In a penetrative study, Concept and Reality in Early Buddhism, Bhikkhu Ñā˚ananda explains papañca as “conceptual proliferation,” and I follow him in substituting “proliferation” for Ñm’s “diversification.” The commentaries identify the springs of this proliferation as the three factors—craving, conceit, and views—on account of which the mind “embellishes” experience by interpreting it in terms of “mine,” “I” and “my self.” Papañca is thus closely akin to maññanā, “conceiving,” in MN 1—see n.6.
The compound papañca-saññā-sankhā is more problematic. Ven. Ñā˚ananda interprets it to mean “concepts characterised by the mind’s prolific tendency,” but this explanation still leaves the word saññā out of account. MA glosses sankhā by koṭṭhāsa, “portion,” and says that saññā is either perception associated with papañca or papañca itself. I go along with Ñā˚ananda in taking sankhā to mean concept or notion (Ñm’s “calculation” is too literal) rather than portion. My decision to treat saññā-sankhā as a dvanda compound, “perceptions and notions ,” may be questioned, but as the expression papañca-saññā-sankhā occurs but rarely in the Canon and is never verbally analysed, no rendering is utterly beyond doubt. On alternative interpretations of its components, the expression might have been rendered “notions [arisen from] the proliferation of perceptions” or “perceptual notions [arisen from] proliferation.”
The sequel will make it clear that the process of cognition is itself “the source through which perceptions and notions [born of] mental proliferation beset a man.” If nothing in the process of cognition is found to delight in, to welcome, or to hold to, the underlying tendencies of the defilements will come to an end.
230 Ven. Mahā Kaccāna was declared by the Buddha to be the most eminent disciple in expounding the detailed meaning of a brief saying. MN 133 and MN 138 were also spoken by him under similar circumstances.
231 Cakkhubhūto ñāṇabhūto dhammabhūto brahmabhūto. MA: He is vision in the sense that he is the leader in vision; he is knowledge in the sense that he makes things known; he is the Dhamma in the sense that he consists of the Dhamma that he utters verbally after considering it in his heart; he is Brahmā, the holy one, in the sense of the best.
232 This passage shows how papañca, emerging from the process of cognition, gives rise to perceptions and notions that overwhelm and victimise their hapless creator. Ms contains a note by Ñm: “The meeting of eye, form, and eye-consciousness is called contact. Contact, according to dependent origination, is the principal condition of feeling. Feeling and perception are inseparable (MN 43.9). What is perceived as ‘this’ is thought about in its differences and is thus diversified from ‘that’ and from ‘me.’ This diversification—involving craving for form, wrong view about permanence of form, etc., and the conceit ‘I am’—leads to preoccupation with calculating the desirability of past and present forms with a view to obtaining desirable forms in the future. ” Perhaps the key to the interpretation of this passage is Ven. Mahā Kaccāna’s explanation of the Bhaddekaratta verses in MN 133. There too delight in the elements of cognition plays a prominent role in causing bondage, and the elaboration of the verses in terms of the three periods of time links up with the reference to the three times in this sutta.
233 The Pali idiom phassapaññattiṁ paññāpessati, in which the verb takes an object derived from itself, is difficult. Ñm originally rendered “that one will describe a description of contact.” “To point out a manifestation” is less literal, but it should do justice to the meaning without jeopardising intelligibility. MA says that this passage is intended to show the entire round of existence (vaṭṭa) by way of the twelve sense bases; §18 shows the cessation of the round (vaṭṭa) by the negation of the twelve sense bases.

| Kakacūpamasutta | The Simile of the Saw | 鋸喻經 |
| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我聞。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. | 一時,佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā moḷiyaphagguno bhikkhunīhi saddhiṃ ativelaṃ saṃsaṭṭho viharati. | Now at that time, Venerable Phagguna of the Top-Knot was mixing too closely together with the nuns. | 當時,有位尊者髮髻頗古那與比丘尼們過從甚密。 |
| Evaṃ saṃsaṭṭho āyasmā moḷiyaphagguno bhikkhunīhi saddhiṃ viharati— | So much so that | 其程度以致於 |
| sace koci bhikkhu āyasmato moḷiyaphaggunassa sammukhā tāsaṃ bhikkhunīnaṃ avaṇṇaṃ bhāsati, tenāyasmā moḷiyaphagguno kupito anattamano adhikaraṇampi karoti. | if any monk criticized those nuns in his presence, Phagguna of the Top-Knot got angry and upset, and even instigated disciplinary proceedings. | 若有任何比丘在他面前批評那些比丘尼,髮髻頗古那就會生氣不悅,甚至提出紀律處分程序。 |
| Sace pana koci bhikkhu tāsaṃ bhikkhunīnaṃ sammukhā āyasmato moḷiyaphaggunassa avaṇṇaṃ bhāsati, tena tā bhikkhuniyo kupitā anattamanā adhikaraṇampi karonti. | And if any monk criticized Phagguna of the Top-Knot in their presence, those nuns got angry and upset, and even instigated disciplinary proceedings. | 而若有任何比丘在她們面前批評髮髻頗古那,那些比丘尼也會生氣不悅,甚至提出紀律處分程序。 |
| Evaṃ saṃsaṭṭho āyasmā moḷiyaphagguno bhikkhunīhi saddhiṃ viharati. | That’s how much Phagguna of the Top-Knot was mixing too closely together with the nuns. | 這就是髮髻頗古那與比丘尼們過從甚密的程度。 |
| Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “āyasmā, bhante, moḷiyaphagguno bhikkhunīhi saddhiṃ ativelaṃ saṃsaṭṭho viharati. Evaṃ saṃsaṭṭho, bhante, āyasmā moḷiyaphagguno bhikkhunīhi saddhiṃ viharati— sace koci bhikkhu āyasmato moḷiyaphaggunassa sammukhā tāsaṃ bhikkhunīnaṃ avaṇṇaṃ bhāsati, tenāyasmā moḷiyaphagguno kupito anattamano adhikaraṇampi karoti.

Evaṃ saṃsaṭṭho, bhante, āyasmā moḷiyaphagguno bhikkhunīhi saddhiṃ viharatī”ti. |
Then a monk went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what was going on. | 於是一位比丘去到佛前,頂禮後,坐在一旁,將所發生的事告訴了他。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā aññataraṃ bhikkhuṃ āmantesi: | So the Buddha said to a certain monk: | 於是佛陀對某位比丘說: |
| “ehi tvaṃ, bhikkhu, mama vacanena moḷiyaphaggunaṃ bhikkhuṃ āmantehi: | “Please, monk, in my name tell the monk Phagguna of the Top-Knot that | 「比丘,請你以我的名義告訴比丘髮髻頗古那, |
| ‘satthā taṃ, āvuso phagguna, āmantetī’”ti. | the teacher summons him.” | 說導師召見他。」 |
| “Evaṃ, bhante”ti kho so bhikkhu bhagavato paṭissutvā yenāyasmā moḷiyaphagguno tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṃ moḷiyaphaggunaṃ etadavoca: | “Yes, sir,” that monk replied. He went to Phagguna of the Top-Knot and said to him: | 「是的,世尊。」那位比丘回答。他去到髮髻頗古那那裡,對他說: |
| “satthā taṃ, āvuso phagguna, āmantetī”ti. | “Reverend Phagguna, the teacher summons you.” | 「頗古那尊者,導師召見您。」 |
| “Evamāvuso”ti kho āyasmā moḷiyaphagguno tassa bhikkhuno paṭissutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho āyasmantaṃ moḷiyaphaggunaṃ bhagavā etadavoca: | “Yes, reverend,” Phagguna replied. He went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him: | 「是的,尊者。」頗古那回答。他去到佛前,頂禮後,坐在一旁。佛陀對他說: |
| “Saccaṃ kira tvaṃ, phagguna, bhikkhunīhi saddhiṃ ativelaṃ saṃsaṭṭho viharasi? | “Is it really true, Phagguna, that you’ve been mixing overly closely together with the nuns? | 「頗古那,你真的與比丘尼們過從甚密嗎? |

| Sace pana koci bhikkhu tāsaṃ bhikkhunīnaṃ sammukhā tuyhaṃ avaṇṇaṃ bhāsati, tena tā bhikkhuniyo kupitā anattamanā adhikaraṇampi karonti. | And if any monk criticizes you in those nuns’ presence, they get angry and upset, and even instigate disciplinary proceedings? | 而若有任何比丘在那些比丘尼面前批評你,她們也生氣不悅,甚至提出紀律處分程序? |
| Evaṃ saṃsaṭṭho kira tvaṃ, phagguna, bhikkhunīhi saddhiṃ viharasī”ti? | Is that how much you’re mixing overly closely together with the nuns?” | 你與比丘尼們過從甚密的程度真是如此嗎?」 |
| “Evaṃ, bhante”ti. | “Yes, sir.” | 「是的,世尊。」 |
| “Nanu tvaṃ, phagguna, kulaputto saddhā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajito”ti? | “Phagguna, are you not a member of a good family who has gone forth from the lay life to homelessness?” | 「頗古那,你不是善男子,從在家而出家,過無家生活嗎?」 |
| “Evaṃ, bhante”ti. | “Yes, sir.” | 「是的,世尊。」 |
| “Na kho te etaṃ, phagguna, patirūpaṃ kulaputtassa saddhā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitassa, yaṃ tvaṃ bhikkhunīhi saddhiṃ ativelaṃ saṃsaṭṭho vihareyyāsi. | “As such, it’s not appropriate for you to mix so closely with the nuns. | 「既是如此,你與比丘尼們如此過從甚密是不適當的。 |

| Tena kho pana samayena ariṭṭhassa nāma bhikkhuno gaddhabādhipubbassa evarūpaṃ pāpakaṃ diṭṭhigataṃ uppannaṃ hoti: | Now at that time a monk called Ariṭtha, who had previously been a vulture trapper, had the following harmful misconception: | 當時,一位名叫阿利吒的比丘,他以前是捕禿鷹的,生起了以下這種有害的邪見: |
| “tathāhaṃ bhagavatā dhammaṃ desitaṃ ājānāmi yathā yeme antarāyikā dhammā vuttā bhagavatā te paṭisevato nālaṃ antarāyāyā”ti. | “As I understand the Buddha’s Dharmas, the acts that he says are obstructions are not really obstructions for the one who performs them.” | 「據我對佛陀法的理解,祂所說的障礙法,對於行此法者而言,並非真正的障礙。」 |
| Assosuṃ kho sambahulā bhikkhū: “ariṭṭhassa kira nāma bhikkhuno gaddhabādhipubbassa evarūpaṃ pāpakaṃ diṭṭhigataṃ uppannaṃ: ‘tathāhaṃ bhagavatā dhammaṃ desitaṃ ājānāmi yathā yeme antarāyikā dhammā vuttā bhagavatā te paṭisevato nālaṃ antarāyāyā’”ti. |
Several monks heard about this. | 有幾位比丘聽聞此事。 |

| “mā hevaṃ, āvuso ariṭṭha, avaca, mā bhagavantaṃ abbhācikkhi; na hi sādhu bhagavato abbhakkhānaṃ, na hi bhagavā evaṃ vadeyya. | “Don’t say that, Ariṭṭha! Don’t misrepresent the Buddha, for misrepresentation of the Buddha is not good. And the Buddha would not say that. | 「不要那樣說,阿利吒!不要誹謗佛陀,因為誹謗佛陀是不好的。而且佛陀不會那樣說。 |

But even though the monks pursued, pressed, and grilled him in this way, Ariṭṭha obstinately stuck to his misconception and insisted on stating it. | 但即使諸比丘如此追問、逼問、盤問他,阿利吒仍固執地堅持他的邪見,並堅稱如此。 |

SUTTA 23
275 Ven. Kum̄ra Kassapa was an adopted son of King Pasenadi of Kosala, born of a woman who, not knowing she was pregnant, had gone forth as a bhikkhunı̄ after having conceived him. At the time this sutta was delivered he was still a sekha; he attained arahantship using this sutta as his subject of meditation.
276 According to MA, this deity was a non-returner living in the Pure Abodes. He and Kumāra Kassapa had been members of a group of five fellow monks who, in the Dispensation of the previous Buddha Kassapa, had practised meditation together on a mountain-top. It was this same deity who spurred Bāhiya Dāruciriya, another former member of the group, to visit the Buddha (see Ud 1:10/7).
277 The meaning of the deity’s imagery will be explained later on in the sutta itself.
278 Kummāsa: The Vinaya and commentaries explain it as something made of yava, barley. Ñm had translated the word as bread, but from MN 82.18 it is clear that kummāsa is viscous and spoils overnight. PED defines it as junket; Horner translates it as “sour milk.”
279 MA: Just as a bar across the entrance to a city prevents people from entering it, so ignorance prevents people from attaining Nibbāna.
280 Dvedhāpatha might also have been rendered “a forked path,” an obvious symbol for doubt.
281 MA states that the four feet and head of a tortoise are similar to the five aggregates.
282 MA: Beings desiring sensual enjoyments are chopped up by the butcher’s knife of sensual desires upon the block of sense objects.
283 The symbolism is explicated at MN 54.16.
284 This is an arahant. For the symbolism, see n.75.
75 Mahānāga. The nāgas are a class of dragonlike beings in Indian mythology believed to inhabit the nether regions of the earth and to be the guardians of hidden treasures. The word comes to represent any gigantic or powerful creature, such as a tusker elephant or a cobra and, by extension, an arahant bhikkhu. See Dhp, ch. 23, Nāgavagga.

2.2 PAST LIVES.
In the time of Padumuttara Buddha Kassapa was a learned brahmin, and having heard a monk ranked foremost in eloquence, he wished for a similar distinction and did many acts of piety towards that end.
During the time of Kassapa Buddha (the Buddha just before ours), when his teaching was declining,
Kumāra Kassapa, together with six other monks, vowed to live a life of rigorous asceticism on a mountain-top to attain liberation.
On reaching the summit with the help of a ladder, they threw it off, and began to meditate.
The eldest attained arhathood in three days, and the second attained non-return, but the remaining five died of starvation on the seventh day without any attainment.
These five companions were Pukkusāti, Bāhiya Dārucīriya, Dabba Malla,putta, the wanderer Sabhiya and Kumāra Kassapa.
2 It was the non-returner brahma who appeared before Kumāra Kassapa and gave him the riddle.
3 This same brahma also suggested to the wanderer Bāhiya to meet the Buddha.
This Potaliya Sutta parable refers to the lust-driven reactions of an ignorant worldling.
At this level, however, as the brahmin directs us to dig deeper into the ant-hill, we have reached the depths of our un-conscious latent tendencies, especially that of lust, and we are told abandon this, too.
(10) The cobra (nāga).
The final object dug out from the ant-hill is the nāga, which is here best con- textually translasted as “cobra,” even “king cobra.”
At the close of the Anaṅgaṇa Sutta (M 5), Sāriputta and Moggallāna are called “the great nagas” (mahā,nāga).
28 The word nāgais commonly used in early Buddhist texts to refer serpents, especially those of great strength and powers,29and it often refers to the cobra, the most venomous and revered of Indian snakes.
30 Figuratively, nāga means “hero, saint,” sym-bolizing great spiritual strength and endurance.
A popular etymology of the naga’s excellence is that “he does no evil” (āgun na karoti),31 that is, he is faultless.
32 In this sense, nāga is often used as an epithet of the Buddha and the arhat.
33 In the riddle, the brahmin says of the cobra (nāga), ‘Let the naga be! Spite not the naga! Pay hom- age to the naga!’34 The Pali verb for “spite” (ghaṭṭesi;
3rd sg ghaṭteti) is interesting and has two main senses, the literal and the figurative.
Literally, ghaṭṭeti means “he strikes, beats, knocks against, touch”;
35 and figuratively, “he offends, mocks, objects to.”
36 The meaning is that although all the nine previous objects are to be thrown away or abandoned, only this last one should be left untouched, that is, the arhat.
For, he is the liberated being who is no more under the power of any of those objects, and as such deserves our respect and emulation.

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrels’ feeding ground. | 一时,佛陀住在王舍城附近的竹林精舍,松鼠饲养场。 |
| Atha kho sambahulā jātibhūmakā bhikkhū jātibhūmiyaṃ vassaṃvuṭṭhā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu. Ekamantaṃ nisinne kho te bhikkhū bhagavā etadavoca: | Then several monks who had completed the rainy season residence in their native land went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to them: | 那时,几位在故乡完成雨季安居的比丘来到佛陀处,顶礼后坐在一旁。佛陀对他们说: |
| “Ko nu kho, bhikkhave, jātibhūmiyaṃ jātibhūmakānaṃ bhikkhūnaṃ sabrahmacārīnaṃ evaṃ sambhāvito: | “In your native land, monks, which of the native monks is esteemed in this way: | “比丘们,在你们的故乡,哪一位故乡比丘受到这样的尊敬: |
| ‘attanā ca appiccho appicchakathañca bhikkhūnaṃ kattā, attanā ca santuṭṭho santuṭṭhikathañca bhikkhūnaṃ kattā, attanā ca pavivitto pavivekakathañca bhikkhūnaṃ kattā, attanā ca asaṃsaṭṭho asaṃsaggakathañca bhikkhūnaṃ kattā, attanā ca āraddhavīriyo vīriyārambhakathañca bhikkhūnaṃ kattā, attanā ca sīlasampanno sīlasampadākathañca bhikkhūnaṃ kattā, attanā ca samādhisampanno samādhisampadākathañca bhikkhūnaṃ kattā, attanā ca paññāsampanno paññāsampadākathañca bhikkhūnaṃ kattā, attanā ca vimuttisampanno vimuttisampadākathañca bhikkhūnaṃ kattā, attanā ca vimuttiñāṇadassanasampanno vimuttiñāṇadassanasampadākathañca bhikkhūnaṃ kattā, ovādako viññāpako sandassako samādapako samuttejako sampahaṃsako sabrahmacārīnan’”ti? | ‘Personally having few wishes, they speak to the monks on having few wishes. Personally having contentment, seclusion, aloofness, vigor, ethics, undistractible-lucidity, wisdom, freedom, and the knowledge and vision of freedom, they speak to the monks on all these things. They’re an adviser and instructor, one who educates, encourages, fires up, and inspires their spiritual companions.’” | ‘他本人欲望很少,就向比丘们讲述少欲。他本人满足、隐居、超然、精进、持戒、心不散乱、智慧、解脱以及解脱的知识和见解,他就向比丘们讲述所有这些。他是一位顾问和指导者,一位教育、鼓励、激励和启发他们的道友的人。’” |
| “Puṇṇo nāma, bhante, āyasmā mantāṇiputto jātibhūmiyaṃ jātibhūmakānaṃ bhikkhūnaṃ sabrahmacārīnaṃ evaṃ sambhāvito: ‘attanā ca appiccho appicchakathañca bhikkhūnaṃ kattā, attanā ca santuṭṭho … pe … ovādako viññāpako sandassako samādapako samuttejako sampahaṃsako sabrahmacārīnan’”ti. |
“Puṇṇa Mantāṇiputta, sir, is esteemed in this way in our native land.” | “尊者,在我们的故乡,富楼那·弥多罗尼子受到这样的尊敬。” |
| Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā sāriputto bhagavato avidūre nisinno hoti. | Now at that time Venerable Sāriputta was meditating not far from the Buddha. | 那时,舍利弗尊者正在离佛陀不远的地方禅修。 |
| Atha kho āyasmato sāriputtassa etadahosi: | Then he thought: | 然后他想: |
| “lābhā āyasmato puṇṇassa mantāṇiputtassa, suladdhalābhā āyasmato puṇṇassa mantāṇiputtassa, | “Puṇṇa Mantāṇiputta is fortunate, so very fortunate, | 富楼那·弥多罗尼子真是幸运,太幸运了, |
| yassa viññū sabrahmacārī satthu sammukhā anumassa anumassa vaṇṇaṃ bhāsanti, tañca satthā abbhanumodati. | in that his sensible spiritual companions praise him point by point in the presence of the Teacher, and that the Teacher seconds that appreciation. | 他的明智道友在老师面前一点一点地赞扬他,而老师也赞同这种赞赏。 |
| Appeva nāma mayampi kadāci karahaci āyasmatā puṇṇena mantāṇiputtena saddhiṃ samāgaccheyyāma, appeva nāma siyā kocideva kathāsallāpo”ti. | Hopefully, some time or other I’ll get to meet Venerable Puṇṇa, and we can have a discussion.” | 希望有一天,我能见到富楼那尊者,我们可以进行一次讨论。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā rājagahe yathābhirantaṃ viharitvā yena sāvatthi tena cārikaṃ pakkāmi. | When the Buddha had stayed in Rājagaha as long as he wished, he set out for Sāvatthī. | 佛陀在王舍城随心所欲地住了一段时间后,便动身前往舍卫城。 |
| Anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena sāvatthi tadavasari. | Traveling stage by stage, he arrived at Sāvatthī, | 他一路跋涉,抵达舍卫城, |
| Tatra sudaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. | where he stayed in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. | 住在祇园精舍,给孤独园。 |
| Assosi kho āyasmā puṇṇo mantāṇiputto: “bhagavā kira sāvatthiṃ anuppatto; sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme”ti. | Puṇṇa heard that the Buddha had arrived at Sāvatthī. | 富楼那听说佛陀已抵达舍卫城。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā puṇṇo mantāṇiputto senāsanaṃ saṃsāmetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena sāvatthi tena cārikaṃ pakkāmi. | Then he set his lodgings in order and, taking his bowl and robe, set out for Sāvatthī. | 于是他整理好自己的住处,拿起钵和袈裟,前往舍卫城。 |
| Anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena sāvatthi jetavanaṃ anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāmo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. | Eventually he came to Sāvatthī and Jeta’s Grove. He went up to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. | 最终他来到舍卫城祇园精舍。他走到佛陀面前,顶礼后坐在一旁。 |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho āyasmantaṃ puṇṇaṃ mantāṇiputtaṃ bhagavā dhammiyā kathāya sandassesi samādapesi samuttejesi sampahaṃsesi. | The Buddha educated, encouraged, fired up, and inspired him with a Dhamma talk. | 佛陀以佛法开示教导、鼓励、激励、启发他。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā puṇṇo mantāṇiputto bhagavatā dhammiyā kathāya sandassito samādapito samuttejito sampahaṃsito bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinanditvā anumoditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṃ katvā yena andhavanaṃ tenupasaṅkami divāvihārāya. | Then, having approved and agreed with what the Buddha said, Puṇṇa got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right. Then he went to the Dark Forest for the day’s meditation. | 然后,富楼那赞同并同意佛陀所说的话,从座位上起身,顶礼,恭敬地右绕佛陀。然后他前往黑林进行一日禅修。 |
| Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yenāyasmā sāriputto tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṃ sāriputtaṃ etadavoca: | Then a certain monk went up to Venerable Sāriputta, and said to him: | 这时,一位比丘来到舍利弗尊者面前,对他说: |
| “yassa kho tvaṃ, āvuso sāriputta, puṇṇassa nāma bhikkhuno mantāṇiputtassa abhiṇhaṃ kittayamāno ahosi, so bhagavatā dhammiyā kathāya sandassito samādapito samuttejito sampahaṃsito bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinanditvā anumoditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṃ katvā yena andhavanaṃ tena pakkanto divāvihārāyā”ti. | “Reverend Sāriputta, the monk named Puṇṇa, of whom you have often spoken so highly, after being inspired by a talk of the Buddha’s, left for the Dark Forest for the day’s meditation.” | “尊者舍利弗,你常称赞的富楼那比丘,在受到佛陀教诲的启发后,已前往黑林进行一日禅修。” |
| Atha kho āyasmā sāriputto taramānarūpo nisīdanaṃ ādāya āyasmantaṃ puṇṇaṃ mantāṇiputtaṃ piṭṭhito piṭṭhito anubandhi sīsānulokī. | Sāriputta quickly grabbed his sitting cloth and followed behind Puṇṇa, keeping sight of his head. | 舍利弗迅速拿起他的坐垫,跟在富楼那后面,保持着视线。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā puṇṇo mantāṇiputto andhavanaṃ ajjhogāhetvā aññatarasmiṃ rukkhamūle divāvihāraṃ nisīdi. | Puṇṇa plunged deep into the Dark Forest and sat at the root of a tree for the day’s meditation. | 富楼那深入黑林,坐在一棵树下进行了一天的禅修。 |
| Āyasmāpi kho sāriputto andhavanaṃ ajjhogāhetvā aññatarasmiṃ rukkhamūle divāvihāraṃ nisīdi. | And Sāriputta did likewise. | 舍利弗也照此办理。 |

For this reason, they practice restraint, protecting the faculty of sight, and achieving its restraint. | 如果视觉器官没有得到控制,贪欲和嗔恨的不善法就会变得势不可挡。因此,他们实行节制,保护视觉器官,并实现其节制。 |

+34.1 – (unintelligent cowherd simile)
| “Bhūtapubbaṃ, bhikkhave, māgadhako gopālako duppaññajātiko, vassānaṃ pacchime māse saradasamaye, asamavekkhitvā gaṅgāya nadiyā orimaṃ tīraṃ, asamavekkhitvā pārimaṃ tīraṃ, atittheneva gāvo patāresi uttaraṃ tīraṃ suvidehānaṃ. | “Once upon a time, monks, there was an unintelligent Magadhan cowherd. In the last month of the rainy season, without inspecting the near shore or the far shore, he drove his cattle across a place with no ford on the Ganges river to the land of the Suvidehans on the northern shore. | “很久以前,比丘们,有一个不聪明的摩揭陀牧牛人。在雨季的最后一个月,他没有检查近岸或远岸,就将他的牛群赶过恒河上一个没有渡口的地方,来到北岸的苏维德汉国。 |
| Atha kho, bhikkhave, gāvo majjhegaṅgāya nadiyā sote āmaṇḍaliyaṃ karitvā tattheva anayabyasanaṃ āpajjiṃsu. | But the cattle bunched up in mid-stream and came to ruin right there. | 但是牛群在河中聚成一团,就在那里灭亡了。 |

If anyone thinks they are worth listening to and trusting, it will be for their lasting harm and suffering. | 同样地,有些沙门婆罗门不擅长此世和他世,不擅长魔罗的领域和其反面,也不擅长死亡的领域和其反面。如果有人认为他们值得听从和信任,那将对他们造成长久的伤害和痛苦。 |

In the last month of the rainy season, after inspecting the near shore and the far shore, he drove his cattle across a ford on the Ganges river to the land of the Suvidehans on the northern shore. | 很久以前,比丘们,有一个聪明的摩揭陀牧牛人。在雨季的最后一个月,他检查了近岸和远岸之后,将他的牛群赶过恒河的一个渡口,来到北岸的苏维德汉国。 |
| So paṭhamaṃ patāresi ye te usabhā gopitaro gopariṇāyakā. | First he drove across the bulls, the fathers and leaders of the herd. | 他首先赶过了牛群中作为父亲和领袖的公牛。 |
| Te tiriyaṃ gaṅgāya sotaṃ chetvā sotthinā pāraṃ agamaṃsu. | They breasted the stream of the Ganges and safely reached the far shore. | 它们奋力渡过恒河,安全到达远岸。 |

| So evaṃ anurodhavirodhaṃ samāpanno yaṃ kiñci vedanaṃ vedeti sukhaṃ vā dukkhaṃ vā adukkhamasukhaṃ vā, so taṃ vedanaṃ abhinandati abhivadati ajjhosāya tiṭṭhati. | Being so full of favoring and opposing, when they experience any kind of feeling—pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral—they approve, welcome, and keep clinging to it. | 他们充满了好恶,当他们体验任何一种感受——愉悦的、不愉悦的或中性的——他们就认可、欢迎并继续执着。 |
| Tassa taṃ vedanaṃ abhinandato abhivadato ajjhosāya tiṭṭhato uppajjati nandī. | This gives rise to relishing. | 这会产生贪着。 |
| Yā vedanāsu nandī tadupādānaṃ, tassupādānapaccayā bhavo, bhavapaccayā jāti, jātipaccayā jarāmaraṇaṃ sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā sambhavanti. | Relishing feelings is grasping. Their grasping is a condition for continued existence. Continued existence is a condition for rebirth. Rebirth is a condition for old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress to come to be. | 贪着感受就是执取。他们的执取是有的条件。有是生的条件。生是老死、忧愁、悲伤、痛苦、烦恼、愁闷的条件。 |
| Evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti. | That is how this entire mass of suffering originates. | 这就是所有这些苦的聚集之源。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾听闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā aṅgesu viharati assapuraṃ nāma aṅgānaṃ nigamo. | At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Aṅgas, near the Aṅgan town named Assapura. | 有一次,佛陀在鸯伽国,住在阿萨富罗附近的鸯伽镇。 |
| Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: | There the Buddha addressed the monks: | 佛陀在那里对比丘们说: |
| “bhikkhavo”ti. | “monks!” | “比丘们!” |
| “Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. | “Venerable sir,” they replied. | “世尊,”他们回答道。 |
| Bhagavā etadavoca: | The Buddha said this: | 佛陀这样说: |
+40.1 – (monks should live up to title ‘ascetic’)
| “Samaṇā samaṇāti vo, bhikkhave, jano sañjānāti. | “monks, people label you as ascetics. | “比丘们,人们称你们为沙门。 |
| Tumhe ca pana ‘ke tumhe’ti puṭṭhā samānā ‘samaṇāmhā’ti paṭijānātha. | And when they ask you what you are, you claim to be ascetics. | 当他们问你们是什么时,你们自称是沙门。 |
| Tesaṃ vo, bhikkhave, evaṃsamaññānaṃ sataṃ evaṃpaṭiññānaṃ sataṃ: ‘yā samaṇasāmīcippaṭipadā taṃ paṭipajjissāma; evaṃ no ayaṃ amhākaṃ samaññā ca saccā bhavissati paṭiññā ca bhūtā; |
Given this label and this claim, you should train like this: ‘We will practice in the way that is proper for an ascetic. That way our label will be accurate and our claim correct. | 鉴于这个称呼和这个自称,你们应该这样修行:‘我们将以适合沙门的方式修行。这样我们的称呼才会准确,我们的自称才会正确。 |
| yesañca mayaṃ cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhāraṃ paribhuñjāma, tesaṃ te kārā amhesu mahapphalā bhavissanti mahānisaṃsā, amhākañcevāyaṃ pabbajjā avañjhā bhavissati saphalā saudrayā’ti. Evañhi vo, bhikkhave, sikkhitabbaṃ. |
Any robes, alms-food, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick that we use will be very fruitful and beneficial for the donor. And our going forth will not be wasted, but will be fruitful and fertile.’ | 我们所使用的任何袈裟、乞食、住所、以及病人所需的医药和补给,都将对施主非常有利。我们的出家生活也不会浪费,而是会有成果和丰饶。’ |
+40.2 – (how do monks not live up to ‘ascetic’)
| Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu na samaṇasāmīcippaṭipadaṃ paṭipanno hoti? | And how does a monk not practice in the way that is proper for an ascetic? | 那么,比丘如何不以适合沙门的方式修行呢? |
| Yassa kassaci, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno abhijjhālussa abhijjhā appahīnā hoti, byāpannacittassa byāpādo appahīno hoti, kodhanassa kodho appahīno hoti, upanāhissa upanāho appahīno hoti, makkhissa makkho appahīno hoti, paḷāsissa paḷāso appahīno hoti, issukissa issā appahīnā hoti, maccharissa macchariyaṃ appahīnaṃ hoti, saṭhassa sāṭheyyaṃ appahīnaṃ hoti, māyāvissa māyā appahīnā hoti, pāpicchassa pāpikā icchā appahīnā hoti, micchādiṭṭhikassa micchādiṭṭhi appahīnā hoti— | There are some monks who have not given up covetousness, ill will, anger, hostility, offensiveness, contempt, envy, stinginess, deviousness, deceit, bad desires, and wrong view. | 有些比丘没有放弃贪婪、恶意、愤怒、敌意、冒犯、轻蔑、嫉妒、吝啬、狡诈、欺骗、恶欲和邪见。 |
| imesaṃ kho ahaṃ, bhikkhave, samaṇamalānaṃ samaṇadosānaṃ samaṇakasaṭānaṃ āpāyikānaṃ ṭhānānaṃ duggativedaniyānaṃ appahānā ‘na samaṇasāmīcippaṭipadaṃ paṭipanno’ti vadāmi. | These stains, flaws, and dregs of an ascetic are grounds for rebirth in places of loss, and are experienced in bad places. As long as they have not given these up, they do not practice in the way that is proper for an ascetic, I say. | 这些沙门的污点、缺陷和残渣是再生到恶道的因,并在恶道中体验。我说,只要他们没有放弃这些,他们就不以适合沙门的方式修行。 |

I say that such a monk’s going forth may be compared to the kind of weapon called ‘death-dealer’—double-edged, hardened, and ardent—covered and wrapped in the outer robe. | 我说,这样的比丘出家,可以比作一种名为‘夺命者’的武器——双刃、淬炼、锋利——被袈裟覆盖和包裹着。 |
| Nāhaṃ, bhikkhave, saṅghāṭikassa saṅghāṭidhāraṇamattena sāmaññaṃ vadāmi. | I say that you don’t deserve the label ‘outer robe wearer’ just because you wear an outer robe. | 我说,你不能仅仅因为穿袈裟就配得上‘穿袈裟者’的称号。 |

| Nāhaṃ, bhikkhave, udakorohakassa udakorohaṇamattena sāmaññaṃ vadāmi. | You don’t deserve the label ‘water undistractify-&-lucidifyr’ just because you undistractify-&-lucidify yourself in water. | 你不能仅仅因为入水沐浴就配得上‘入水者’的称号。 |
| Nāhaṃ, bhikkhave, rukkhamūlikassa rukkhamūlikamattena sāmaññaṃ vadāmi. | You don’t deserve the label ‘tree root dweller’ just because you stay at the root of a tree. | 你不能仅仅因为住在树根下就配得上‘树根居士’的称号。 |
| Nāhaṃ, bhikkhave, abbhokāsikassa abbhokāsikamattena sāmaññaṃ vadāmi. | You don’t deserve the label ‘open air dweller’ just because you stay in the open air. | 你不能仅仅因为住在露天就配得上‘露天居士’的称号。 |
| Nāhaṃ, bhikkhave, ubbhaṭṭhakassa ubbhaṭṭhakamattena sāmaññaṃ vadāmi. | You don’t deserve the label ‘stander’ just because you continually stand. | 你不能仅仅因为持续站立就配得上‘站立者’的称号。 |

But their vitality is not spent; their warmth is not dissipated; and their faculties are very clear. That’s the difference between someone who has passed away and a monk who has attained the cessation of perception and feeling.” | “当一个人去世时,他们的身体、语言和心理过程都已停止和寂灭;他们的生命力已耗尽;他们的温暖已消散;他们的根已瓦解。当一个僧人证得想受灭时,他们的身体、语言和心理过程都已停止和寂灭。但他们的生命力并未耗尽;他们的温暖并未消散;他们的根非常清晰。这就是已经去世的人和证得想受灭的僧人之间的区别。” |

| (The Buddha praised Dhammadinnā the nun as the foremost Dhamma teacher among his nun disciples. In this discourse she answers questions put to her by a layman—Visākha—who, according to the commentary, was her former husband, a merchant of Rājagaha, and a non-returner.) | (佛陀赞扬法施尼师是其比丘尼弟子中最杰出的佛法教师。在这次论述中,她回答了一个在家信徒——毗舍佉——向她提出的问题。根据注释,毗舍佉是她的前夫,一个王舍城的商人,也是一位不还者。) | |

Then Visākha the lay follower went to Dhammadinnā the nun and, on arrival, having bowed down to her, sat to one side. | 我曾听闻,有一次世尊住在王舍城附近的竹林,松鼠饲养所。然后在家信徒毗舍佉去拜访法施尼师,抵达后,向她顶礼,坐到一边。 |
+44.1 – (Self-identification)
| ekamantaṃ nisinno kho visākho upāsako dhammadinnaṃ bhikkhuniṃ etadavoca — “‘sakkāyo sakkāyo’ti, ayye, vuccati. katamo nu kho, ayye, sakkāyo vutto bhagavatā”ti? | As he was sitting there he said to her, “‘Self-identification, self-identification,’ it is said, lady. Which self-identification is described by the Blessed One?” | 他坐在那里时对她说:“‘有身见,有身见,’据说,女士。世尊所描述的有身见是哪一种?” |
| “pañca kho ime, āvuso visākha, upādānak-khandhā sakkāyo vutto bhagavatā, seyyathidaṃ — rūpupādānak-khandho, vedanupādānak-khandho, saññupādānak-khandho, saṅkhārupādānak-khandho, viññāṇupādānak-khandho. ime kho, āvuso visākha, pañcupādānak-khandhā sakkāyo vutto bhagavatā”ti. | “There are these five clinging-aggregates, friend Visākha: the form clinging-aggregate, the feeling clinging-aggregate, the perception clinging-aggregate, the fabrications clinging-aggregate, the consciousness clinging-aggregate. These five clinging-aggregates are the self-identification described by the Blessed One.” | “朋友毗舍佉,有这五种执取蕴:色执取蕴、受执取蕴、想执取蕴、行执取蕴、识执取蕴。这五种执取蕴是世尊所描述的有身见。” |

Then he asked her a further question: “‘The origination of self-identification, the origination of self-identification,’ it is said, lady. Which origination of self-identification is described by the Blessed One?” | 在家信徒毗舍佉说:“是的,女士,”他对法施尼师所说的话感到高兴和欢喜。然后他又问了一个问题:“‘有身见的生起,有身见的生起,’据说,女士。世尊所描述的有身见的生起是哪一种?” |
| “yāyaṃ, āvuso visākha, taṇhā ponobbhavikā nandīrāgasahagatā tatratatrābhinandinī, seyyathidaṃ — kāmataṇhā bhavataṇhā vibhavataṇhā; ayaṃ kho, āvuso visākha, sakkāyasamudayo vutto bhagavatā”ti. | “The craving that makes for further becoming—accompanied by passion & delight, relishing now here & now there—i.e., craving for sensual pleasure, craving for becoming, craving for non-becoming: This, friend Visākha, is the origination of self-identification described by the Blessed One.” | “那导致未来再生的渴爱——伴随着贪欲和喜悦,在此处彼处享受——即对欲乐的渴爱,对存在的渴爱,对非存在的渴爱:朋友毗舍佉,这就是世尊所描述的有身见的生起。” |

| ♦ “yo kho, āvuso visākha, tassāyeva taṇhāya asesavirāganirodho cāgo paṭinissaggo mutti anālayo; ayaṃ kho, āvuso visākha, sakkāyanirodho vutto bhagavatā”ti. | “The remainderless fading & cessation, renunciation, relinquishment, release, & letting go of that very craving: This, friend Visākha, is the cessation of self-identification described by the Blessed One.” | “正是那种渴爱的无余褪去和止息,舍弃、放下、解脱和舍离:朋友毗舍佉,这就是世尊所描述的有身见的止息。” |
| ♦ “‘sakkāyanirodhagāminī paṭipadā sakkāyanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti, ayye, vuccati. katamā nu kho, ayye, sakkāyanirodhagāminī paṭipadā vuttā bhagavatā”ti? | “‘The way of practice leading to the cessation of self-identification, the way of practice leading to the cessation of self-identification,’ it is said, lady. Which way of practice leading to the cessation of self-identification is described by the Blessed One?” | “‘导致有身见止息的修行之道,导致有身见止息的修行之道,’据说,女士。世尊所描述的导致有身见止息的修行之道是哪一种?” |
| ♦ “ayameva kho, āvuso visākha, ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo sakkāyanirodhagāminī paṭipadā vuttā bhagavatā, seyyathidaṃ — sammā-diṭṭhi sammā-saṅkappo sammā-vācā sammā-kammanto sammā-ājīvo sammā-vāyāmo sammā-sati sammā-samādhī”ti. | “Precisely this noble eightfold path—right view, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-remembering, righteous-undistractable-lucidity: This, friend Visākha, is the way of practice leading to the cessation of self-identification described by the Blessed One.” | “正是这八圣道——正见、正思惟、正语、正业、正命、正精进、正念、正定:朋友毗舍佉,这就是世尊所描述的导致有身见止息的修行之道。” |
| ♦ “taññeva nu kho, ayye, upādānaṃ te VAR pañcupādānak-khandhā udāhu aññatra pañcahupādānak-khandhehi upādānan”ti? | “Is it the case, lady, that clinging is the same thing as the five clinging-aggregates or is it something separate?” | “女士,执取与五执取蕴是同一回事吗,还是不同的东西?” |
| “na kho, āvuso visākha, taññeva upādānaṃ te pañcupādānak-khandhā, nāpi aññatra pañcahupādānak-khandhehi upādānaṃ. yo kho, āvuso visākha, pañcasu upādānak-khandhesu chandarāgo taṃ tattha upādānan”ti. | “Friend Visākha, neither is clinging the same thing as the five clinging-aggregates, nor is it something separate. Whatever desire & passion there is with regard to the five clinging-aggregates, that is the clinging there.” | “朋友毗舍佉,执取与五执取蕴既不是同一回事,也不是不同的东西。凡是对五执取蕴有的欲望和贪爱,那就是执取。” |

1. Verbal fabrication grows still on attaining the second jhāna; bodily fabrication grows still on attaining the fourth jhāna; mental fabrication grows still on attaining the cessation of perception & feeling.
2. Emptiness, the signless, & the undirected are names for a state of concentration that lies on the threshold of unbinding. They differ only in how they are approached. According to the commentary, they color one’s first apprehension of unbinding: a meditator who has been focusing on the theme of inconstancy will first apprehend unbinding as signless; one who has been focusing on the theme of stress will first apprehend it as undirected; one who has been focusing on the theme of not-self will first apprehend it as emptiness.
3. According to the commentary, “seclusion” here stands for unbinding. On emerging from the cessation of perception & feeling, and having had contact with emptiness/the signless/the undirected, the mind inclines naturally to a direct experience of unbinding.
4. In other words, once the pleasure of the first jhāna has been used as a basis for giving rise to the discernment that leads to arahantship, the mind has no further passion-obsession with pleasant feeling. (The commentary says that this is true at attainment of non-returning, but this must be a mistake, as non-returners are still subject to passion for form and formless phenomena.)
5. Once this sorrow has been used as a basis for giving rise to the discernment that leads to non-returning, the mind has no further resistance-obsession with painful feeling.
6. Once this feeling of neither pleasure nor pain has been used as a basis for giving rise to the discernment that leads to arahantship, the mind has no further ignorance-obsession with feelings of neither pleasure nor pain.
7. This reading follows the Thai edition of the Pali Canon. The PTS edition gives the first two questions and answers of this exchange as follows:
“Now what, lady, lies on the other side of pleasant feeling?”
“Painful feeling lies on the other side of pleasant feeling.”
“And what lies on the other side of painful feeling?”
“Pleasant feeling lies on the other side of painful feeling.”
For some reason, the editors of neither edition seen to have been aware of the reading in the other edition.

| Kosambiyasutta | The monks of Kosambi | 拘睒弥比丘 |
| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā kosambiyaṃ viharati ghositārāme. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Kosambi, in Ghosita’s Monastery. | 一时,佛陀住在拘睒弥,在瞿师多园精舍。 |
+48.0 – (monks of kosambiya arguing)
| Tena kho pana samayena kosambiyaṃ bhikkhū bhaṇḍanajātā kalahajātā vivādāpannā aññamaññaṃ mukhasattīhi vitudantā viharanti. | Now at that time the monks of Kosambi were arguing, quarreling, and fighting, continually wounding each other with barbed words. | 那时,拘睒弥的比丘们正在争论、吵架、斗殴,不断地用带刺的话语互相伤害。 |
| Te na ceva aññamaññaṃ saññāpenti na ca saññattiṃ upenti, na ca aññamaññaṃ nijjhāpenti, na ca nijjhattiṃ upenti. | They couldn’t persuade each other or be persuaded, nor could they convince each other or be convinced. | 他们无法说服彼此,也无法被说服,也无法使彼此信服,也无法被信服。 |
| Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “idha, bhante, kosambiyaṃ bhikkhū bhaṇḍanajātā kalahajātā vivādāpannā aññamaññaṃ mukhasattīhi vitudantā viharanti, te na ceva aññamaññaṃ saññāpenti, na ca saññattiṃ upenti, na ca aññamaññaṃ nijjhāpenti, na ca nijjhattiṃ upentī”ti. |
Then a monk went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what was happening. | 然后,一位比丘去见佛陀,顶礼后,坐到一旁,并告诉佛陀发生了什么事。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā aññataraṃ bhikkhuṃ āmantesi: | So the Buddha said to a certain monk: | 于是,佛陀对一位比丘说: |
| “ehi tvaṃ, bhikkhu, mama vacanena te bhikkhū āmantehi: | “Please, monk, in my name tell those monks that | “请比丘,以我的名义告诉那些比丘, |
| ‘satthā vo āyasmante āmantetī’”ti. | the teacher summons them. | 导师召集他们。” |
| “Evaṃ, bhante”ti kho so bhikkhu bhagavato paṭissutvā yena te bhikkhū tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā te bhikkhū etadavoca: | “Yes, sir,” that monk replied. He went to those monks and said: | “是的,世尊,”那位比丘回答道。他去到那些比丘那里说: |
| “satthā āyasmante āmantetī”ti. | “Venerables, the teacher summons you.” | “尊者们,导师召集你们。” |
| “Evamāvuso”ti kho te bhikkhū tassa bhikkhuno paṭissutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu. Ekamantaṃ nisinne kho te bhikkhū bhagavā etadavoca: | “Yes, reverend,” those monks replied. They went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to them: | “是的,尊者,”那些比丘回答道。他们去见佛陀,顶礼后,坐到一旁。佛陀对他们说: |
| “saccaṃ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, bhaṇḍanajātā kalahajātā vivādāpannā aññamaññaṃ mukhasattīhi vitudantā viharatha, | “Is it really true, monks, that you have been arguing, quarreling, and fighting, continually wounding each other with barbed words? | “比丘们,你们真的在争论、吵架、斗殴,不断地用带刺的话语互相伤害吗? |
| te na ceva aññamaññaṃ saññāpetha, na ca saññattiṃ upetha, na ca aññamaññaṃ nijjhāpetha, na ca nijjhattiṃ upethā”ti? | And that you can’t persuade each other or be persuaded, nor can you convince each other or be convinced?” | 而且你们无法说服彼此,也无法被说服,也无法使彼此信服,也无法被信服吗?” |
| “Evaṃ, bhante”. | “Yes, sir,” they said. | “是的,世尊,”他们说。 |
| “Taṃ kiṃ maññatha, bhikkhave, | “What do you think, monks? | “比丘们,你们认为如何? |

| “No hetaṃ, bhante”. | “No, sir.” | “不,世尊。” |
| “Iti kira, bhikkhave, yasmiṃ tumhe samaye bhaṇḍanajātā kalahajātā vivādāpannā aññamaññaṃ mukhasattīhi vitudantā viharatha, neva tumhākaṃ tasmiṃ samaye mettaṃ kāyakammaṃ paccupaṭṭhitaṃ hoti sabrahmacārīsu āvi ceva raho ca, na mettaṃ vacīkammaṃ … pe … na mettaṃ manokammaṃ paccupaṭṭhitaṃ hoti sabrahmacārīsu āvi ceva raho ca. | “So it seems that when you’re arguing you are not treating each other with kindness. | “所以看起来当你们争论时,你们并没有以慈心相待。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ āyasmā mahāmoggallāno bhaggesu viharati susumāragire bhesakaḷāvane migadāye. | At one time Venerable Mahāmoggallāna was staying in the land of the Bhaggas on Crocodile Hill, in the deer park at Bhesakaḷā’s Wood. | 一时,尊者大目犍连住在婆伽国鳄鱼山,在贝萨卡拉木鹿园。 |
+50.1 – (moggallāna noticed māra had entered his belly)
| Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā mahāmoggallāno abbhokāse caṅkamati. | At that time Moggallāna was walking meditation in the open air. | 那时,目犍连在户外经行。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena māro pāpimā āyasmato mahāmoggallānassa kucchigato hoti koṭṭhamanupaviṭṭho. | Now at that time Māra the Wicked had got inside Moggallāna’s belly. | 那时,邪恶的魔罗进入了目犍连的腹部。 |
| Atha kho āyasmato mahāmoggallānassa etadahosi: | Moggallāna thought: | 目犍连心想: |
| “kiṃ nu kho me kucchi garugaro viya? | “Why now is my belly so very heavy, | “为什么我的肚子现在这么重, |
| Māsācitaṃ maññe”ti. | like I’ve just eaten a load of beans?” | 就像刚吃了一堆豆子一样?” |
| Atha kho āyasmā mahāmoggallāno caṅkamā orohitvā vihāraṃ pavisitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi. | Then he stepped down from the walking path, entered his dwelling, sat down on the seat spread out, | 然后他从经行道上下来,进入自己的住处,坐在铺好的座位上, |
| Nisajja kho āyasmā mahāmoggallāno paccattaṃ yoniso manasākāsi. | and investigated inside himself. | 在自己内心观察。 |

| Atha kho māro pāpimā āyasmato mahāmoggallānassa mukhato uggantvā paccaggaḷe aṭṭhāsi. | Then Māra came up out of Moggallāna’s mouth and stood against the door bar. | 然后魔罗从目犍连的嘴里出来,站在门闩旁。 |

| So evaṃ samāhite citte parisuddhe pariyodāte anaṅgaṇe vigatūpakkilese mudubhūte kammaniye ṭhite āneñjappatte āsavānaṃ khayañāṇāya cittaṃ abhininnāmeti. | When their mind has become undistractified-&-lucidified in samādhi like this—purified, bright, spotless, rid of taints, pliable, workable, steady, and imperturbable—they extend it toward knowledge of the ending of defilements. | 当他们的心以这种方式在三摩地中变得不散乱且明晰——清净、明亮、无瑕、无垢、柔顺、易用、稳定、不动——他们将其导向了知烦恼的止息。 |
| So ‘idaṃ dukkhan’ti yathābhūtaṃ pajānāti. ‘Ayaṃ dukkhasamudayo’ti yathābhūtaṃ pajānāti. ‘Ayaṃ dukkhanirodho’ti yathābhūtaṃ pajānāti. ‘Ayaṃ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṃ pajānāti. | They truly understand: ‘This is suffering’ … ‘This is the origin of suffering’ … ‘This is the cessation of suffering’ … ‘This is the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering’. | 他们真实地理解:“这是苦”……“这是苦的起源”……“这是苦的止息”……“这是导致苦止息的修行”。 |
| ‘Ime āsavā’ti yathābhūtaṃ pajānāti. ‘Ayaṃ āsavasamudayo’ti yathābhūtaṃ pajānāti. ‘Ayaṃ āsavanirodho’ti yathābhūtaṃ pajānāti. ‘Ayaṃ āsavanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṃ pajānāti. | They truly understand: ‘These are defilements’ … ‘This is the origin of defilements’ … ‘This is the cessation of defilements’ … ‘This is the practice that leads to the cessation of defilements’. | 他们真实地理解:“这些是烦恼”……“这是烦恼的起源”……“这是烦恼的止息”……“这是导致烦恼止息的修行”。 |
| Tassa evaṃ jānato evaṃ passato kāmāsavāpi cittaṃ vimuccati, bhavāsavāpi cittaṃ vimuccati, avijjāsavāpi cittaṃ vimuccati. | Knowing and seeing like this, their mind is freed from the defilements of sensuality, desire to be reborn, and ignorance. | 这样了知和看见,他们的心就从感官欲望、渴望再生和无明的烦恼中解脱出来。 |
| Vimuttasmiṃ vimuttamiti ñāṇaṃ hoti. | When they’re freed, they know they’re freed. | 当他们解脱时,他们知道自己已解脱。 |
| ‘Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā’ti pajānāti. | They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is no return to any state of existence.’ | 他们理解:“再生已尽,梵行已立,所作已办,不再回到任何存在状态。” |
| Ayaṃ vuccati, bhikkhave, puggalo nevattantapo nāttaparitāpanānuyogamanuyutto, na parantapo na paraparitāpanānuyogamanuyutto. | This is called a person who neither mortifies themselves or others, being committed to the practice of not mortifying themselves or others. | 这被称为既不折磨自己也不折磨他人的人,致力于不折磨自己或他人的修行。 |
| So attantapo aparantapo diṭṭheva dhamme nicchāto nibbuto sītībhūto sukhappaṭisaṃvedī brahmabhūtena attanā viharatī”ti. | They live without wishes in the present life, nirvana'd, cooled, experiencing pleasure, having become holy in themselves.” | 他们今生无欲无求地生活,已证涅槃,心已冷却,体验着快乐,自身已成圣洁。” |
| Idamavoca bhagavā. | That is what the Buddha said. | 佛陀如是说。 |
| Attamanā te bhikkhū bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinandunti. | Satisfied, the monks were happy with what the Buddha said. | 比丘们心满意足,对佛陀所说的话感到欢喜。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā aṅguttarāpesu viharati āpaṇaṃ nāma aṅguttarāpānaṃ nigamo. | At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Northern Āpaṇas, near the town of theirs named Āpaṇa. | 一时,佛陀住在北阿波那国,他们名为阿波那的城镇附近。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya āpaṇaṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. | Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Āpaṇa for alms. | 然后佛陀早上穿好袈裟,拿起钵和衣,进入阿波那乞食。 |
| Āpaṇe piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yenaññataro vanasaṇḍo tenupasaṅkami divāvihārāya. | He wandered for alms in Āpaṇa. After the meal, on his return from alms-round, he went to a certain forest grove for the day’s meditation. | 他在阿波那乞食。饭后,从乞食回来,他去了一个森林小树林进行日间禅修。 |
| Taṃ vanasaṇḍaṃ ajjhogāhetvā aññatarasmiṃ rukkhamūle divāvihāraṃ nisīdi. | Having plunged deep into it, he sat at the root of a certain tree for the day’s meditation. | 他深入其中,在一棵树下坐下来进行日间禅修。 |
| Potaliyopi kho gahapati sampannanivāsanapāvuraṇo chattupāhanāhi jaṅghāvihāraṃ anucaṅkamamāno anuvicaramāno yena so vanasaṇḍo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā taṃ vanasaṇḍaṃ ajjhogāhetvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. | Potaliya the householder also approached that forest grove while going for a walk. He was well dressed in a cloak and sarong, with parasol and sandals. Having plunged deep into it, he went up to the Buddha, and exchanged greetings with him. | 居士波塔利亚也在散步时来到那个森林小树林。他穿着斗篷和纱笼,戴着阳伞和凉鞋,穿着考究。他深入其中,走到佛陀面前,与佛陀寒暄。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṃ ṭhitaṃ kho potaliyaṃ gahapatiṃ bhagavā etadavoca: | When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he stood to one side, and the Buddha said to him: | 寒暄和客套结束后,他站到一旁,佛陀对他说: |
| “saṃvijjanti kho, gahapati, āsanāni; sace ākaṅkhasi nisīdā”ti. | “There are seats, householder. Please sit if you wish.” | “有座位,居士。如果您愿意,请坐。” |
| Evaṃ vutte, potaliyo gahapati “gahapativādena maṃ samaṇo gotamo samudācaratī”ti kupito anattamano tuṇhī ahosi. | When he said this, Potaliya was angry and upset. Thinking, “The ascetic Gotama addresses me as ‘householder’!” he stayed silent. | 他说这话时,波塔利亚又生气又沮丧。他想:“沙门乔达摩称我为‘居士’!”他保持沉默。 |
| Dutiyampi kho bhagavā … pe … | For a second time … | 第二次…… |
| tatiyampi kho bhagavā potaliyaṃ gahapatiṃ etadavoca: | and a third time the Buddha said to him: | 第三次佛陀对他说道: |
| “saṃvijjanti kho, gahapati, āsanāni; sace ākaṅkhasi nisīdā”ti. | “There are seats, householder. Please sit if you wish.” | “有座位,居士。如果您愿意,请坐。” |
| Evaṃ vutte, potaliyo gahapati “gahapativādena maṃ samaṇo gotamo samudācaratī”ti kupito anattamano bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | When he said this, Potaliya was angry and upset. Thinking, “The ascetic Gotama addresses me as ‘householder’!” he said to the Buddha: | 他说这话时,波塔利亚又生气又沮丧。他想:“沙门乔达摩称我为‘居士’!”他对比陀陀说: |
+54.3 – (how householder refused all work and cut off all judgments)
| “tayidaṃ, bho gotama, nacchannaṃ, tayidaṃ nappatirūpaṃ, yaṃ maṃ tvaṃ gahapativādena samudācarasī”ti. | “Master Gotama, it is neither proper nor appropriate for you to address me as ‘householder’.” | “乔达摩大师,您称我为‘居士’既不合适也不恰当。” |
| “Te hi te, gahapati, ākārā, te liṅgā, te nimittā yathā taṃ gahapatissā”ti. | “Well, householder, you have the features, attributes, and signs of a householder.” | “居士,你有居士的特征、属性和标志。” |
| “Tathā hi pana me, bho gotama, sabbe kammantā paṭikkhittā, sabbe vohārā samucchinnā”ti. | “Master Gotama, it’s because I have refused all work and cut off all judgments.” | “乔达摩大师,那是因为我已拒绝所有工作并切断所有判断。” |
| “Yathā kathaṃ pana te, gahapati, sabbe kammantā paṭikkhittā, sabbe vohārā samucchinnā”ti? | “Householder, in what way have you refused all work and cut off all judgments?” | “居士,你是如何拒绝所有工作并切断所有判断的?” |
| “Idha me, bho gotama, yaṃ ahosi dhanaṃ vā dhaññaṃ vā rajataṃ vā jātarūpaṃ vā sabbaṃ taṃ puttānaṃ dāyajjaṃ niyyātaṃ, tatthāhaṃ anovādī anupavādī ghāsacchādanaparamo viharāmi. | “Master Gotama, all the money, grain, gold, and silver I used to have has been handed over to my children as their inheritance. And in this matter I do not advise or reprimand them, but live with nothing more than food and clothes. | “乔达摩大师,我过去所有的金钱、谷物、黄金和白银都已作为遗产交给我的孩子们。在这件事上,我不给他们建议也不责备他们,只靠食物和衣服生活。 |
| Evaṃ kho me, bho gotama, sabbe kammantā paṭikkhittā, sabbe vohārā samucchinnā”ti. | That’s how I have refused all work and cut off all judgments.” | 我就是这样拒绝所有工作并切断所有判断的。” |
+54.4 – (cutting off of judgments in the noble one’s training is quite different)
| “Aññathā kho tvaṃ, gahapati, vohārasamucchedaṃ vadasi, aññathā ca pana ariyassa vinaye vohārasamucchedo hotī”ti. | “The cutting off of judgments as you describe it is one thing, householder, but the cutting off of judgments in the noble one’s training is quite different.” | “您所描述的切断判断是一回事,居士,但圣者训练中的切断判断则完全不同。” |
| “Yathā kathaṃ pana, bhante, ariyassa vinaye vohārasamucchedo hoti? | “But what, sir, is cutting off of judgments in the noble one’s training? | “但是,世尊,圣者训练中的切断判断是什么? |

| “Tena hi, gahapati, suṇāhi, sādhukaṃ manasi karohi, bhāsissāmī”ti. | “Well then, householder, listen and pay close attention, I will speak.” | “那么,居士,请听好,认真注意,我将要讲。” |
| “Evaṃ, bhante”ti kho potaliyo gahapati bhagavato paccassosi. | “Yes, sir,” said Potaliya. | “是的,世尊,”波塔利亚说。 |

| “Evaṃ, bhante”ti kho potaliyo gahapati bhagavato paccassosi. | “Yes, sir,” said Potaliya. | “是的,世尊,”波塔利亚说。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā nāḷandāyaṃ viharati pāvārikambavane. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Nālandā in Pāvārika’s mango grove. | 一时,佛陀住在那烂陀附近,在波婆利迦的芒果园里。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena nigaṇṭho nāṭaputto nāḷandāyaṃ paṭivasati mahatiyā nigaṇṭhaparisāya saddhiṃ. | At that time Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta was residing at Nāḷandā together with a large assembly of Jain ascetics. | 那时,尼乾陀·那吒弗多与大批耆那教苦行僧一同居住在那烂陀。 |
| Atha kho dīghatapassī nigaṇṭho nāḷandāyaṃ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yena pāvārikambavanaṃ yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. | Then the Jain ascetic Dīgha Tapassī wandered for alms in Nāḷandā. After the meal, on his return from alms-round, he went to Pāvārika’s mango grove. There he approached the Buddha, and exchanged greetings with him. | 然后耆那教苦行僧长苦行者迪迦·塔帕西在那烂陀乞食。饭后,从乞食回来,他去到波婆利迦的芒果园。在那里他走到佛陀面前,与佛陀寒暄。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṃ ṭhitaṃ kho dīghatapassiṃ nigaṇṭhaṃ bhagavā etadavoca: | When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he stood to one side. The Buddha said to him: | 寒暄和客套结束后,他站到一旁。佛陀对他说道: |
| “saṃvijjanti kho, tapassi, āsanāni; sace ākaṅkhasi nisīdā”ti. | “There are seats, Tapassī. Please sit if you wish.” | “有座位,塔帕西。如果您愿意,请坐。” |
| Evaṃ vutte, dīghatapassī nigaṇṭho aññataraṃ nīcaṃ āsanaṃ gahetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. | When he said this, Dīgha Tapassī took a low seat and sat to one side. | 他说这话时,迪迦·塔帕西坐到一张低矮的座位上,坐到一旁。 |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho dīghatapassiṃ nigaṇṭhaṃ bhagavā etadavoca: | The Buddha said to him: | 佛陀对他说道: |
| “kati pana, tapassi, nigaṇṭho nāṭaputto kammāni paññapeti pāpassa kammassa kiriyāya pāpassa kammassa pavattiyā”ti? | “Tapassī, how many kinds of deed does Nigaṇṭha Nātaputta describe for performing bad deeds?” | “塔帕西,尼乾陀·那吒弗多描述了多少种行为来行恶?” |
| “Na kho, āvuso gotama, āciṇṇaṃ nigaṇṭhassa nāṭaputtassa ‘kammaṃ, kamman’ti paññapetuṃ; | “Reverend Gotama, Nigaṇṭha Nātaputta doesn’t usually speak in terms of ‘deeds’. | “乔达摩尊者,尼乾陀·那吒弗多通常不说‘行为’。 |

| “Kāyadaṇḍanti, tapassi, vadesi”? | “Do you say the physical rod, Tapassī?” | “你说的是身体上的行为吗,塔帕西?” |
| “Kāyadaṇḍanti, āvuso gotama, vadāmi”. | “I say the physical rod, Reverend Gotama.” | “我说的是身体上的行为,尊敬的乔达摩。” |

The Ascetic Who Behaved Like a Dog

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾这样听说。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā koliyesu viharati haliddavasanaṃ nāma koliyānaṃ nigamo. | At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Koliyans, where they have a town named Haliddavasana. | 有一次,佛陀住在拘利耶人的土地上,那里有一个名叫哈利达瓦萨纳的城镇。 |
| Atha kho puṇṇo ca koliyaputto govatiko acelo ca seniyo kukkuravatiko yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā puṇṇo koliyaputto govatiko bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Acelo pana seniyo kukkuravatiko bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā kukkurova palikujjitvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. | Then Puṇṇa Koliyaputta, who had taken a vow to behave like a cow, and Seniya, a naked ascetic who had taken a vow to behave like a dog, went to see the Buddha. Puṇṇa bowed to the Buddha and sat down to one side, while Seniya exchanged greetings and polite conversation with him before sitting down to one side curled up like a dog. | 然后,发愿行为像牛的普纳·拘利耶子,以及发愿行为像狗的裸体苦行僧塞尼亚,去见佛陀。普纳向佛陀鞠躬,然后坐在一旁,而塞尼亚则与佛陀交换了问候和客套话,然后像狗一样蜷缩着坐在一旁。 |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho puṇṇo koliyaputto govatiko bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Puṇṇa said to the Buddha: | 普纳对佛陀说: |
| “ayaṃ, bhante, acelo seniyo kukkuravatiko dukkarakārako chamānikkhittaṃ bhojanaṃ bhuñjati. | “Sir, this naked dog ascetic Seniya does a hard thing: he eats food placed on the ground. | “先生,这位裸体狗苦行僧塞尼亚做了一件艰难的事情:他吃地上放的食物。 |
| Tassa taṃ kukkuravataṃ dīgharattaṃ samattaṃ samādinnaṃ. | For a long time he has undertaken that observance to behave like a dog. | 他长期以来一直遵守这种像狗一样的行为。 |
| Tassa kā gati, ko abhisamparāyo”ti? | Where will he be reborn in his next life?” | 他来世会投生到哪里?” |
| “Alaṃ, puṇṇa, tiṭṭhatetaṃ; mā maṃ etaṃ pucchī”ti. | “Enough, Puṇṇa, let it be. Don’t ask me that.” | “够了,普纳,就这样吧。别问我了。” |
| Dutiyampi kho puṇṇo koliyaputto govatiko … pe … | For a second time … | 第二次…… |
| tatiyampi kho puṇṇo koliyaputto govatiko bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | and a third time, Puṇṇa said to the Buddha: | 第三次,普纳对佛陀说: |
| “ayaṃ, bhante, acelo seniyo kukkuravatiko dukkarakārako chamānikkhittaṃ bhojanaṃ bhuñjati. | “Sir, this naked dog ascetic Seniya does a hard thing: he eats food placed on the ground. | “先生,这位裸体狗苦行僧塞尼亚做了一件艰难的事情:他吃地上放的食物。 |

They develop a dog’s ethics, a dog’s mentality, and a dog’s behavior fully and uninterruptedly. | 假设一个人完全且不间断地遵守狗戒。他们完全且不间断地发展狗的道德、狗的心态和狗的行为。 |

| Micchādiṭṭhissa kho ahaṃ, puṇṇa, dvinnaṃ gatīnaṃ aññataraṃ gatiṃ vadāmi—nirayaṃ vā tiracchānayoniṃ vā. | An individual with wrong view is reborn in one of two places, I say: hell or the animal realm. | 我说,有邪见的人投生到两个地方之一:地狱或畜生道。 |

| “Natthi kho no, bhante, koci manāpo satthā yasmiṃ no ākāravatī saddhā paṭiladdhā”ti. | “No, sir.” | “不,先生。” |

+§0.1 – (lying is bad; simile of empty water container)
| Atha kho bhagavā parittaṃ udakāvasesaṃ udakādhāne ṭhapetvā āyasmantaṃ rāhulaṃ āmantesi: | Then the Buddha, leaving a little water in the pot, addressed Rāhula: | 然后佛陀,在盆里留了一点水,对罗睺罗说: |
| “passasi no tvaṃ, rāhula, imaṃ parittaṃ udakāvasesaṃ udakādhāne ṭhapitan”ti? | “Rāhula, do you see this little bit of water left in the pot?” | “罗睺罗,你看到盆里剩下的这一点水了吗?” |

| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. | 一时,佛陀住在舍卫城,祇树林给孤独园。 |
+63.1 – (Māluṅkya threatens to disrobe if Buddha doesn’t answer metaphysical questions)
| Atha kho āyasmato mālukyaputtassa rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa evaṃ cetaso parivitakko udapādi: | Then as Venerable Māluṅkya was in private retreat this thought came to his mind: | 那时,当尊者马鲁卡亚在私人禅修时,他心里生起了这样的念头: |
| “yānimāni diṭṭhigatāni bhagavatā abyākatāni ṭhapitāni paṭikkhittāni: | “There are several convictions that the Buddha has left undeclared; he has set them aside and refused to comment on them. | “佛陀有几种信念没有宣说;他把它们搁置一旁,拒绝评论。 |
| ‘sassato loko’tipi, ‘asassato loko’tipi, ‘antavā loko’tipi, ‘anantavā loko’tipi, ‘taṃ jīvaṃ taṃ sarīran’tipi, ‘aññaṃ jīvaṃ aññaṃ sarīran’tipi, ‘hoti tathāgato paraṃ maraṇā’tipi, ‘na hoti tathāgato paraṃ maraṇā’tipi, ‘hoti ca na ca hoti tathāgato paraṃ maraṇā’tipi, ‘neva hoti na na hoti tathāgato paraṃ maraṇā’tipi— | For example: the world is eternal, or not eternal, or finite, or infinite; the soul and the body are the same thing, or they are different things; after death, a Realized One exists, or doesn’t exist, or both exists and doesn’t exist, or neither exists nor doesn’t exist. | 例如:世界是永恒的,或不是永恒的,或有限的,或无限的;灵魂和身体是同一回事,或是不同的事物;死后,一位觉悟者存在,或不存在,或既存在又不存在,或既非存在又非不存在。 |
| tāni me bhagavā na byākaroti. | The Buddha does not give me a straight answer on these points. | 佛陀在这些问题上没有给我一个直截了当的答案。 |
| Yāni me bhagavā na byākaroti taṃ me na ruccati, taṃ me nakkhamati. | I don’t approve of that, and do not accept it. | 我不赞成这一点,也不接受。 |
| Sohaṃ bhagavantaṃ upasaṅkamitvā etamatthaṃ pucchissāmi. | I’ll go to him and ask him about this. | 我要去问他。 |
| Sace me bhagavā byākarissati: ‘sassato loko’ti vā ‘asassato loko’ti vā … pe … ‘neva hoti na na hoti tathāgato paraṃ maraṇā’ti vā— |
If he gives me a straight answer on any of these points, | 如果他在这些问题上给我一个直截了当的答案, |
| evāhaṃ bhagavati brahmacariyaṃ carissāmi; | I will live the spiritual life under him. | 我将在他座下过梵行生活。 |
| no ce me bhagavā byākarissati: ‘sassato loko’ti vā ‘asassato loko’ti vā … pe … ‘neva hoti na na hoti tathāgato paraṃ maraṇā’ti vā— |
If he does not give me a straight answer on any of these points, | 如果他不在这些问题上给我一个直截了当的答案, |
| evāhaṃ sikkhaṃ paccakkhāya hīnāyāvattissāmī”ti. | I will reject the training and return to a lesser life.” | 我将放弃修行,回到世俗生活。” |
+63.2 – (Māluṅkya told Buddha of his thoughts)
| Atha kho āyasmā mālukyaputto sāyanhasamayaṃ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho āyasmā mālukyaputto bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then in the late afternoon, Māluṅkya came out of retreat and went to the Buddha. He bowed, sat down to one side, and told the Buddha of his thoughts. He then continued: | 那时,下午晚些时候,马鲁卡亚从禅修中出来,前往佛陀处。他行礼,坐到一边,并将自己的想法告诉了佛陀。然后他继续说道: |
| “Idha mayhaṃ, bhante, rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa evaṃ cetaso parivitakko udapādi— yānimāni diṭṭhigatāni bhagavatā abyākatāni ṭhapitāni paṭikkhittāni: ‘sassato loko’tipi, ‘asassato loko’tipi … pe … ‘neva hoti na na hoti tathāgato paraṃ maraṇā’tipi— tāni me bhagavā na byākaroti.

all
+§100.1 – Commentary from frankk
1. Interesting that the path to cutting the 5 lower fetters is the the four jhānas!
You were probably expecting The Buddha to say noble eightfold path, or sati (remembrance of Dharma) or right view, or a gradual training as the answer, but the Buddha just says the 4 jhānas and the 7 perception attainments.
2. This sutta, MN 64 is probably the most definitive sutta in saying it’s not possible to realize non-returner or arahantship without jhāna, since it says it’s impossible to cut the 5 fetters without the path, and the path is defined in this sutta as the 4 jhānas (and 7 perception attainments).
3. viveka in first jhāna, must be discernment + right view, not just ‘seclusion’, as explained here: only 1 way 1.2.64 – MN 64 says four jhānas is the path that leads to nirvana!

+§100.2 – Notes from B. Ṭhānissaro (from his translation)
1. The list of concentration attainments to be used as a basis for insight while one remains in the attainment stops here.
MN 111 indicates that the next two attainments—the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception and the cessation of perception & feeling—can be used as a basis for liberating insight only after one has emerged from the attainment.
AN 9.36 notes that the attainments from the first jhāna up through the dimension of nothingness are “perception-attainments.”
Given that the work of insight requires perceptions, this suggests that the two higher attainments would be destroyed by trying to use the perceptions of insight while remaining in them.
AN 9.36 adds, “As far as the perception-attainments go, that is as far as gnosis-penetration goes.
As for these two dimensions—the attainment of the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception & the attainment of the cessation of perception & feeling—I tell you that they are to be rightly explained by those monks who are meditators, skilled at attainment, skilled at attainment-emergence, who have attained & emerged in dependence on them.”
2. Given that arahants are described as being of two sorts—released through awareness and released through discernment—it might seem that there should be two different paths to arahantship.
In this sutta, however, the Buddha is describing a single path.
That’s why Ven. Ānanda asks for clarification.
The Buddha’s response is in line with the explanation given in AN 9.43 - AN 9.45.
“Released through discernment” does not mean that one has attained awakening without experiencing any of the jhānas.
Instead, it means that one has experienced at least the first jhāna, but without any of the psychic powers that sometimes accompany the jhānas.
Thus a person whose faculty of concentration was too weak to encompass any of those powers would be described as released through discernment, whereas one whose faculty of concentration was strong enough to encompass at least some of them would be described as released through awareness.

| Atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṃ ānandaṃ āmantesi: | Then the Buddha said to Venerable Ānanda: | 於是佛陀對阿難尊者說: |
| “ke panete, ānanda, uccāsaddā mahāsaddā, kevaṭṭā maññe macchavilope”ti? | “Ānanda, who’s making that dreadful racket? You’d think it was fishermen hauling in a catch!” | 「阿難,誰發出這麼大的喧鬧聲?你們會以為是漁夫在捕魚!」 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我聞。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā kosalesu viharati naḷakapāne palāsavane. | At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Kosalans near Naḷakapāna in the Parrot Tree grove. | 一時,佛陀住在拘薩羅國納拉卡巴那附近的鸚鵡樹林裡。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā abhiññātā abhiññātā kulaputtā bhagavantaṃ uddissa saddhā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitā honti— | Now at that time several very well-known members of good families had gone forth from the lay life to homelessness out of justifiable-trust in the Buddha— | 當時,數名出身名門望族的著名人士,因對佛陀的信仰,已從在家生活出家為無家者—— |
| āyasmā ca anuruddho, āyasmā ca bhaddiyo, āyasmā ca kimilo, āyasmā ca bhagu, āyasmā ca koṇḍañño, āyasmā ca revato, āyasmā ca ānando, aññe ca abhiññātā abhiññātā kulaputtā. | The venerables Anuruddha, Bhaddiya, Kimbila, Bhagu, Koṇḍañña, Revata, Ānanda, and other very well-known respectable persons. | 尊者阿那律、跋提、金毘羅、跋瞿、拘睒彌、離婆多、阿難,以及其他許多非常著名的可敬之人。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā bhikkhusaṃghaparivuto abbhokāse nisinno hoti. | Now at that time the Buddha was sitting in the open, surrounded by the monk Saṅgha. | 當時,佛陀正坐在開闊處,周圍圍繞著僧伽。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā te kulaputte ārabbha bhikkhū āmantesi: | Then the Buddha spoke to the monks about those respectable persons: | 然後佛陀對比丘們談起那些可敬之人: |
| “ye te, bhikkhave, kulaputtā mamaṃ uddissa saddhā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitā, kacci te, bhikkhave, bhikkhū abhiratā brahmacariye”ti? | “monks, those respectable persons who have gone forth from the lay life to homelessness out of justifiable-trust in me—I trust they’re satisfied with the spiritual life?” | 「比丘們,那些因信仰我而從在家生活出家為無家者的可敬之人——我相信他們對梵行感到滿意嗎?」 |
| Evaṃ vutte, te bhikkhū tuṇhī ahesuṃ. | When this was said, the monks kept silent. | 說了這話後,比丘們保持沉默。 |
| Dutiyampi kho bhagavā te kulaputte ārabbha bhikkhū āmantesi: “ye te, bhikkhave, kulaputtā mamaṃ uddissa saddhā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitā, kacci te, bhikkhave, bhikkhū abhiratā brahmacariye”ti? Dutiyampi kho te bhikkhū tuṇhī ahesuṃ. |
For a second and a third time the Buddha asked the same question. | 佛陀第二次、第三次問了同樣的問題。 |
| Tatiyampi kho bhagavā te kulaputte ārabbha bhikkhū āmantesi: “ye te, bhikkhave, kulaputtā mamaṃ uddissa saddhā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitā, kacci te, bhikkhave, bhikkhū abhiratā brahmacariye”ti? |
||
| Tatiyampi kho te bhikkhū tuṇhī ahesuṃ. | For a third time, the monks kept silent. | 比丘們第三次保持沉默。 |
| Atha kho bhagavato etadahosi: | Then it occurred to the Buddha: | 爾時佛陀心想: |
| “yannūnāhaṃ te kulaputte puccheyyan”ti. | “Why don’t I question just those respectable persons?” | 「我何不只問那些可敬之人?」 |
| Atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṃ anuruddhaṃ āmantesi: | Then the Buddha said to Venerable Anuruddha: | 於是佛陀對阿那律尊者說: |
| “kacci tumhe, anuruddhā, abhiratā brahmacariye”ti? | “Anuruddha and friends, I hope you’re satisfied with the spiritual life?” | 「阿那律和朋友們,你們對梵行感到滿意嗎?」 |
| “Taggha mayaṃ, bhante, abhiratā brahmacariye”ti. | “Indeed, sir, we are satisfied with the spiritual life.” | 「確實如此,尊者,我們對梵行感到滿意。」 |
| “Sādhu sādhu, anuruddhā. | “Good, good, Anuruddha and friends! | 「善哉,善哉,阿那律和朋友們! |
| Etaṃ kho, anuruddhā, tumhākaṃ patirūpaṃ kulaputtānaṃ saddhā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitānaṃ yaṃ tumhe abhirameyyātha brahmacariye. | It’s appropriate for respectable persons like yourselves, who have gone forth in justifiable-trust from the lay life to homelessness, to be satisfied with the spiritual life. | 像你們這樣因信仰而從在家生活出家為無家者的可敬之人,對梵行感到滿意是恰當的。 |
| Yena tumhe, anuruddhā, bhadrena yobbanena samannāgatā paṭhamena vayasā susukāḷakesā kāme paribhuñjeyyātha tena tumhe, anuruddhā, bhadrenapi yobbanena samannāgatā paṭhamena vayasā susukāḷakesā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitā. | Since you’re blessed with youth, in the prime of life, black-haired, you could have enjoyed sensual pleasures; yet you have gone forth from the lay life to homelessness. | 你們年輕力壯,正值盛年,黑髮烏亮,本可享受感官欲樂;然而你們卻從在家生活出家為無家者。 |
| Te ca kho pana tumhe, anuruddhā, neva rājābhinītā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitā, na corābhinītā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitā, na iṇaṭṭā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitā, na bhayaṭṭā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitā, nājīvikāpakatā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitā. | But you didn’t go forth because you were forced to by kings or bandits, or because you’re in debt or threatened, or to earn a living. | 但你們出家並非被迫於國王或盜賊,也不是因為負債或受到威脅,更不是為了謀生。 |
| Api ca khomhi otiṇṇo jātiyā jarāya maraṇena sokehi paridevehi dukkhehi domanassehi upāyāsehi, dukkhotiṇṇo dukkhapareto; | Rather, didn’t you go forth thinking: ‘I’m swamped by rebirth, old age, and death; by sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress. I’m swamped by suffering, mired in suffering. | 相反,你們出家不是因為心想:『我被生死、老病死、憂悲惱苦、困苦所淹沒。我被苦困住,深陷於苦中。 |
| appeva nāma imassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa antakiriyā paññāyethāti— nanu tumhe, anuruddhā, evaṃ saddhā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitā”ti? |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我聞。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrels’ feeding ground. | 一時,佛陀住在王舍城附近的竹林,松鼠飼料場。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena goliyāni nāma bhikkhu āraññiko padasamācāro saṃghamajjhe osaṭo hoti kenacideva karaṇīyena. | Now at that time a wilderness monk of lax behavior named Gulissāni had come down to the midst of the Saṅgha on some business. | 當時,一位行為散漫的林居比丘,名叫古利薩尼,因某些事務來到了僧伽之中。 |
+69.0 – (Sariputta is giving the talk, not the Buddha)
| Tatra kho āyasmā sāriputto goliyāniṃ bhikkhuṃ ārabbha bhikkhū āmantesi: | There Venerable Sāriputta spoke to the monks about Gulissāni: | 舍利弗尊者在那裡對比丘們談論古利薩尼: |
+69.1 – (should have respect and reverence for his spiritual companions)
| “Āraññikenāvuso, bhikkhunā saṃghagatena saṃghe viharantena sabrahmacārīsu sagāravena bhavitabbaṃ sappatissena. | “Reverends, a wilderness monk who has come to stay in the Saṅgha should have respect and reverence for his spiritual companions. | 「諸位尊者,一位來到僧伽中居住的林居比丘,應該對他的法友們懷有尊敬和敬畏。 |
| Sace, āvuso, āraññiko bhikkhu saṃghagato saṃghe viharanto sabrahmacārīsu agāravo hoti appatisso, tassa bhavanti vattāro. | If he doesn’t, there’ll be some who say: | 如果他不這樣做,就會有人說: |
| ‘Kiṃ panimassāyasmato āraññikassa ekassāraññe serivihārena, yo ayamāyasmā sabrahmacārīsu agāravo hoti appatisso’ti— tassa bhavanti vattāro. |
‘What’s the point of this wilderness venerable’s staying alone and autonomous in the wilderness, since he has no respect and reverence for his spiritual companions?’ | 「這位林居尊者獨自一人自主地住在林中,既然他對他的法友們沒有尊敬和敬畏,這又有什麼意義呢?」 |
| Tasmā āraññikena bhikkhunā saṃghagatena saṃghe viharantena sabrahmacārīsu sagāravena bhavitabbaṃ sappatissena. (1) | That’s why a wilderness monk who has come to stay in the Saṅgha should have respect and reverence for his spiritual companions. | 所以,一個來到僧伽中居住的林居比丘,應該對他的法友們懷有尊敬和敬畏。 |
+69.2 – (should be careful where he sits)
| Āraññikenāvuso, bhikkhunā saṃghagatena saṃghe viharantena āsanakusalena bhavitabbaṃ: | A wilderness monk who has come to stay in the Saṅgha should be careful where he sits, thinking: | 一位來到僧伽中居住的林居比丘,應該注意自己的坐姿,心想: |
| ‘iti there ca bhikkhū nānupakhajja nisīdissāmi nave ca bhikkhū na āsanena paṭibāhissāmī’ti. | ‘I shall sit so that I don’t intrude on the senior monks and I don’t block the junior monks from a seat.’ | 「我會坐著,這樣我就不會侵犯長老比丘,也不會妨礙年輕比丘入座。」 |
| Sace, āvuso, āraññiko bhikkhu saṃghagato saṃghe viharanto na āsanakusalo hoti, tassa bhavanti vattāro. | If he doesn’t, there’ll be some who say: | 如果他不這樣做,就會有人說: |
| ‘Kiṃ panimassāyasmato āraññikassa ekassāraññe serivihārena, yo ayamāyasmā āsanakusalo na hotī’ti— tassa bhavanti vattāro. |
‘What’s the point of this wilderness venerable’s staying alone and autonomous in the wilderness, since he’s not careful where he sits?’ | 「這位林居尊者獨自一人自主地住在林中,既然他不注意自己的坐姿,這又有什麼意義呢?」 |
| Tasmā āraññikena bhikkhunā saṃghagatena saṃghe viharantena āsanakusalena bhavitabbaṃ. (2) | That’s why a wilderness monk who has come to stay in the Saṅgha should be careful where he sits. | 所以,一位來到僧伽中居住的林居比丘,應該注意自己的坐姿。 |

So what the Theravada commentary is saying, wrongly, is that the four jhanas are a-rūpa (since 4 jhanas are part of the 8 attainments).
Ven. Responds:
No. If the commentator had meant that, he would merely have said:
_Āruppā_ti aṭṭha samāpattiyo.
As it is, you're overlooking the word ettāvatā:
Ettāvatā: by just so much, with this much; to such an extent; so far, to that extent; thus.
(Margaret Cone's dictionary)
and the word api, ("also").
The combination of the two words is often used by the commentators when they want to say that some statement is to be understood as allusive or implicative: "Though the Buddha mentioned only X, we should understand Y and Z to be included too."

+a-rūpa and āruppa
With regard to word-formation, arūpa is formed by adding the negative prefix a- to rūpa.
Āruppa is formed by adding the suffix -ṇya to arūp, leading to assimilation (p + -ṇya = pp) and stem-vowel lengthening.
It's analogous to how sāmaññā ("the state of an ascetic") is formed from samaṇa ("ascetic").
With regard to meaning, āruppa is a more specialised term, used to refer to either
(1) meditation subjects that lead to arūpāvacarajjhāna;
(2) the arūpāvacarajjhānas themselves; or
(3) the vipāka that comes from developing arūpāvacarajjhāna, i.e., formless planes of existence.
Arūpa includes all of these too, but a dozen other things besides.
Āruppa (adj.) [fr. arūpa as ā (= a2) -- *rūpya] formless, incorporeal; nt. formless existence D iii.275; M i.410 cp. 472; iii.163; S i.131 (˚ṭṭhāyin); ii.123; A iv.316 It 61; Sn 754; J i.406; Dhs 1385 (cp. trsl. 57); Vism 338; DA i.224; SnA 488, 508; Sdhp 5, 10; the four Vism iii, 326 sq.
The PED seems to have a typo. Āruppa is a noun, not an adjective.

The subcommentary for MN 69 says:
[...]
That seems to be correcting the commentary, saying that it's only the four a-arupa attainments that are meant, and not the 4 rupa attainments. Then it mentions there are ten-fold kasinas.
I don't understand what it says about parikkama ...
Can someone confirm I'm translating correctly for subcmy?
Cūḷa Dhammapāla isn't correcting Buddhaghosa. The gist of his first sentence is that Buddhaghosa says what he does because there's no divorcing the attainment of the arūpasamāpattis from that of the rūpasamāpattis. The rest is just saying at length what Buddhaghosa said in brief.
Āruppa is formed by adding the suffix -ṇya to arūp, leading to assimilation (p + -ṇya = pp) and stem-vowel lengthening.
It's analogous to how sāmaññā ("the state of an ascetic") is formed from samaṇa ("ascetic").
With regard to meaning, āruppa is a more specialised term, used to refer to either
(1) meditation subjects that lead to arūpāvacarajjhāna;
(2) the arūpāvacarajjhānas themselves; or
(3) the vipāka that comes from developing arūpāvacarajjhāna, i.e., formless planes of existence.
Arūpa includes all of these too, but a dozen other things besides.
Āruppa (adj.) [fr. arūpa as ā (= a2) -- *rūpya] formless, incorporeal; nt. formless existence D iii.275; M i.410 cp. 472; iii.163; S i.131 (˚ṭṭhāyin); ii.123; A iv.316 It 61; Sn 754; J i.406; Dhs 1385 (cp. trsl. 57); Vism 338; DA i.224; SnA 488, 508; Sdhp 5, 10; the four Vism iii, 326 sq.
The PED seems to have a typo. Āruppa is a noun, not an adjective.

The subcommentary for MN 69 says:
[...]
That seems to be correcting the commentary, saying that it's only the four a-arupa attainments that are meant, and not the 4 rupa attainments. Then it mentions there are ten-fold kasinas.

Opening
+70.1 – (Buddha says not eating in the evening is great for health)
| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我聞。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā kāsīsu cārikaṃ carati mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ. | At one time the Buddha was wandering in the land of the Kāsīs together with a large Saṅgha of monks. | 一時,佛陀與大批比丘僧伽在迦尸國遊行。 |
| Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: | There the Buddha addressed the monks: | 在那裡,佛陀對比丘們說: |
| “ahaṃ kho, bhikkhave, aññatreva rattibhojanā bhuñjāmi. | “monks, I abstain from eating at night. | 「比丘們,我 abstains from eating at night。 |
| Aññatra kho panāhaṃ, bhikkhave, rattibhojanā bhuñjamāno appābādhatañca sañjānāmi appātaṅkatañca lahuṭṭhānañca balañca phāsuvihārañca. | Doing so, I find that I’m healthy and well, nimble, strong, and living comfortably. | 這樣做,我發現自己身體健康,靈活有力,生活舒適。 |
| Etha, tumhepi, bhikkhave, aññatreva rattibhojanā bhuñjatha. | You too should abstain from eating at night. | 你們也應該 abstains from eating at night。 |
| Aññatra kho pana, bhikkhave, tumhepi rattibhojanā bhuñjamānā appābādhatañca sañjānissatha appātaṅkatañca lahuṭṭhānañca balañca phāsuvihārañcā”ti. | Doing so, you’ll find that you’re healthy and well, nimble, strong, and living comfortably.” | 這樣做,你們會發現自己身體健康,靈活有力,生活舒適。」 |
| “Evaṃ, bhante”ti kho te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. | “Yes, sir,” they replied. | 「是的,尊者。」他們回答道。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā kāsīsu anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena kīṭāgiri nāma kāsīnaṃ nigamo tadavasari. | Then the Buddha, traveling stage by stage in the land of the Kāsīs, arrived at a town of the Kāsīs named Kīṭāgiri, | 然後佛陀在迦尸國逐站遊行,到達迦尸國的一個城鎮,名叫吉塔吉利, |
| Tatra sudaṃ bhagavā kīṭāgirismiṃ viharati kāsīnaṃ nigame. | and stayed there. | 並在那裡停留。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena assajipunabbasukā nāma bhikkhū kīṭāgirismiṃ āvāsikā honti. | Now at that time the monks who followed Assaji and Punabbasuka were residing at Kīṭāgiri. | 當時,阿濕婆和普那巴蘇卡所追隨的比丘們住在吉塔吉利。 |
| Atha kho sambahulā bhikkhū yena assajipunabbasukā bhikkhū tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā assajipunabbasuke bhikkhū etadavocuṃ: | Then several monks went up to them and said: | 然後幾位比丘走到他們面前說: |
| “bhagavā kho, āvuso, aññatreva rattibhojanā bhuñjati bhikkhusaṅgho ca. | “Reverends, the Buddha abstains from eating at night, and so does the monk Saṅgha. | 「諸位尊者,佛陀 abstains from eating at night,僧伽也一樣。 |
| Aññatra kho panāvuso, rattibhojanā bhuñjamānā appābādhatañca sañjānanti appātaṅkatañca lahuṭṭhānañca balañca phāsuvihārañca. | Doing so, they find that they’re healthy and well, nimble, strong, and living comfortably. | 這樣做,他們發現自己身體健康,靈活有力,生活舒適。 |
| Etha, tumhepi, āvuso, aññatreva rattibhojanā bhuñjatha. | You too should abstain from eating at night. | 你們也應該 abstains from eating at night。 |
| Aññatra kho panāvuso, tumhepi rattibhojanā bhuñjamānā appābādhatañca sañjānissatha appātaṅkatañca lahuṭṭhānañca balañca phāsuvihārañcā”ti. | Doing so, you’ll find that you’re healthy and well, nimble, strong, and living comfortably.” | 這樣做,你們會發現自己身體健康,靈活有力,生活舒適。」 |
+70.2 – (some monks say eating whenever they want is great for health)
| Evaṃ vutte, assajipunabbasukā bhikkhū te bhikkhū etadavocuṃ: | When they said this, the monks who followed Assaji and Punabbasuka said to them: | 他們說了這些話後,阿濕婆和普那巴蘇卡所追隨的比丘們對他們說: |
| “mayaṃ kho, āvuso, sāyañceva bhuñjāma pāto ca divā ca vikāle. | “Reverends, we eat in the evening, the morning, and at the wrong time of day. | 「諸位尊者,我們在傍晚、早上和不合時宜的時間吃飯。 |
| Te mayaṃ sāyañceva bhuñjamānā pāto ca divā ca vikāle appābādhatañca sañjānāma appātaṅkatañca lahuṭṭhānañca balañca phāsuvihārañca. | Doing so, we find that we’re healthy and well, nimble, strong, and living comfortably. | 這樣做,我們發現自己身體健康,靈活有力,生活舒適。 |
| Te mayaṃ kiṃ sandiṭṭhikaṃ hitvā kālikaṃ anudhāvissāma? | Why should we give up what we see in the present to chase after what takes time? | 為什麼我們要放棄眼前所見,去追逐那些需要時間才能獲得的東西呢? |
| Sāyañceva mayaṃ bhuñjissāma pāto ca divā ca vikāle”ti. | We shall eat in the evening, the morning, and at the wrong time of day.” | 我們會在傍晚、早上和不合時宜的時間吃飯。」 |

Since those monks were unable to convince the monks who were followers of Assaji and Punabbasuka, they approached the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened. Then they said: | 由於那些比丘無法說服阿濕婆和普那巴蘇卡的追隨者,他們便來到佛陀面前,頂禮後坐在一旁,並將發生的事情告訴佛陀。然後他們說: |
| Atha kho bhagavā aññataraṃ bhikkhuṃ āmantesi: | So the Buddha said to a certain monk: | 於是佛陀對某位比丘說: |
| “ehi tvaṃ, bhikkhu, mama vacanena assajipunabbasuke bhikkhū āmantehi: | “Please, monk, in my name tell the monks who follow Assaji and Punabbasuka that | 「比丘,請你以我的名義去告訴追隨阿濕婆和普那巴蘇卡的比丘們, |
| ‘satthā āyasmante āmantetī’”ti. | the teacher summons them.” | 老師召喚他們。」 |

| “satthā āyasmante āmantetī”ti. | “Venerables, the teacher summons you.” | 「諸位尊者,老師召喚你們。」 |
| “Evamāvuso”ti kho assajipunabbasukā bhikkhū tassa bhikkhuno paṭissutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu. Ekamantaṃ nisinne kho assajipunabbasuke bhikkhū bhagavā etadavoca: | “Yes, reverend,” those monks replied. They went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to them: | 「是的,尊者。」那些比丘回答道。他們來到佛陀面前,頂禮後坐在一旁。佛陀對他們說: |
| “saccaṃ kira, bhikkhave, sambahulā bhikkhū tumhe upasaṅkamitvā etadavocuṃ: | “Is it really true, monks, that several monks went to you and said: | 「比丘們,這是真的嗎,有幾位比丘來找你們說: |

| Evaṃ vutte, kira, bhikkhave, tumhe te bhikkhū evaṃ avacuttha: | When they said this, did you really say to them: | 他們說了這些話後,你們真的對他們說: |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā vesāliyaṃ viharati mahāvane kūṭāgārasālāyaṃ. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Vesālī, at the Great Wood, in the hall with the peaked roof. | 一时,佛陀住在毗舍离大林重阁讲堂。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena vacchagotto paribbājako ekapuṇḍarīke paribbājakārāme paṭivasati. | Now at that time the wanderer Vacchagotta was residing in the Single Lotus Monastery of the wanderers. | 当时,跋迦姓游方者住在游方者们的单莲花寺。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya vesāliṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. | Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Vesālī for alms. | 于是佛陀早上穿上袈裟,拿着钵和衣,进入毗舍离乞食。 |
| Atha kho bhagavato etadahosi: | Then it occurred to the Buddha: | 然后佛陀心想: |
| “atippago kho tāva vesāliyaṃ piṇḍāya carituṃ; | “It’s too early to wander for alms in Vesālī. | “在毗舍离乞食还太早。 |
| yannūnāhaṃ yena ekapuṇḍarīko paribbājakārāmo yena vacchagotto paribbājako tenupasaṅkameyyan”ti. | Why don’t I visit the wanderer Vacchagotta at the Single Lotus Monastery?” | 我何不去单莲花寺拜访跋迦姓游方者呢?” |
| Atha kho bhagavā yena ekapuṇḍarīko paribbājakārāmo yena vacchagotto paribbājako tenupasaṅkami. | So that’s what he did. | 于是他照做了。 |
| Addasā kho vacchagotto paribbājako bhagavantaṃ dūratova āgacchantaṃ. | Vacchagotta saw the Buddha coming off in the distance, | 跋迦姓游方者远远地看见佛陀走来, |
| Disvāna bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | and said to him: | 便对他说: |
+71.1 – (Vacchagotta asked Buddha if he is continuously omniscient)
| “Etu kho, bhante, bhagavā. | “Come, Blessed One! | “来吧,世尊! |
| Svāgataṃ, bhante, bhagavato. | Welcome, Blessed One! | 欢迎世尊! |
| Cirassaṃ kho, bhante, bhagavā imaṃ pariyāyamakāsi yadidaṃ idhāgamanāya. | It’s been a long time since you took the opportunity to come here. | 您很久才来这里一趟。 |
| Nisīdatu, bhante, bhagavā idamāsanaṃ paññattan”ti. | Please, sir, sit down, this seat is ready.” | 请,先生,坐下,这个座位已经准备好了。” |
| Nisīdi bhagavā paññatte āsane. | The Buddha sat on the seat spread out, | 佛陀坐到铺好的座位上, |
| Vacchagottopi kho paribbājako aññataraṃ nīcaṃ āsanaṃ gahetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. | while Vacchagotta took a low seat and sat to one side. | 而跋迦姓游方者则取了一个低座,坐到一边。 |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho vacchagotto paribbājako bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then Vacchagotta said to the Buddha: | 然后跋迦姓游方者对佛陀说: |
| “sutaṃ metaṃ, bhante: | “Sir, I have heard this: | “先生,我曾听说: |
| ‘samaṇo gotamo sabbaññū sabbadassāvī, aparisesaṃ ñāṇadassanaṃ paṭijānāti, | ‘The ascetic Gotama claims to be all-knowing and all-seeing, to know and see everything without exception, thus: | ‘沙门乔达摩自称全知全见,无一例外地知晓和看见一切,因此: |
| carato ca me tiṭṭhato ca suttassa ca jāgarassa ca satataṃ samitaṃ ñāṇadassanaṃ paccupaṭṭhitan’ti. | “Knowledge and vision are constantly and continually present to me, while walking, standing, sleeping, and waking.”’ | “无论行、住、坐、卧,知识和见解都不断地呈现在我面前。”’ |
| Ye te, bhante, evamāhaṃsu: ‘samaṇo gotamo sabbaññū sabbadassāvī, aparisesaṃ ñāṇadassanaṃ paṭijānāti, carato ca me tiṭṭhato ca suttassa ca jāgarassa ca satataṃ samitaṃ ñāṇadassanaṃ paccupaṭṭhitan’ti, kacci te, bhante, bhagavato vuttavādino, na ca bhagavantaṃ abhūtena abbhācikkhanti, dhammassa cānudhammaṃ byākaronti, na ca koci sahadhammiko vādānuvādo gārayhaṃ ṭhānaṃ āgacchatī”ti? | I trust that those who say this repeat what the Buddha has said, and do not misrepresent him with an untruth? Is their explanation in line with The Dharma? Are there any legitimate grounds for rebuke and criticism?” | 我是否可以相信,说这话的人重复了佛陀所说的话,并没有用不实之词歪曲他?他们的解释是否符合教义?是否有任何正当的理由可以驳斥和批评?” |
+71.2 – (Buddha said he is not omniscient in that way)
| “Ye te, vaccha, evamāhaṃsu: ‘samaṇo gotamo sabbaññū sabbadassāvī, aparisesaṃ ñāṇadassanaṃ paṭijānāti, carato ca me tiṭṭhato ca suttassa ca jāgarassa ca satataṃ samitaṃ ñāṇadassanaṃ paccupaṭṭhitan’ti, na me te vuttavādino, abbhācikkhanti ca pana maṃ asatā abhūtenā”ti. | “Vaccha, those who say this do not repeat what I have said. They misrepresent me with what is false and untrue.” | “婆蹉,说这话的人并未重复我所说的话。他们用虚假不实之词歪曲了我。” |
| “Kathaṃ byākaramānā pana mayaṃ, bhante, vuttavādino ceva bhagavato assāma, na ca bhagavantaṃ abhūtena abbhācikkheyyāma, dhammassa cānudhammaṃ byākareyyāma, na ca koci sahadhammiko vādānuvādo gārayhaṃ ṭhānaṃ āgaccheyyā”ti? | “So how should we answer so as to repeat what the Buddha has said, and not misrepresent him with an untruth? How should we explain in line with his teaching, with no legitimate grounds for rebuke and criticism?” | “那么,我们该如何回答,才能重复佛陀所说的话,而不以不实之词歪曲他呢?我们该如何解释,才能符合他的教义,而没有正当的理由可以驳斥和批评?” |

You would explain in line with my teaching, and there would be no legitimate grounds for rebuke and criticism. | “‘沙门乔达摩具有三明。’这样回答,你就是在重复我所说的话,而不会用虚假不实之词歪曲我。你将依我的教法解释,就不会有任何正当的理由可以驳斥和批评。 |
| Ahañhi, vaccha, yāvadeva ākaṅkhāmi anekavihitaṃ pubbenivāsaṃ anussarāmi, | For, Vaccha, whenever I want, I recollect my many kinds of past lives. | 因为,婆蹉,无论何时我想,我都能忆念起我的多种过去生。 |
| seyyathidaṃ—ekampi jātiṃ dvepi jātiyo … pe … iti sākāraṃ sauddesaṃ anekavihitaṃ pubbenivāsaṃ anussarāmi. | That is: one, two, three, four, five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand rebirths; many eons of the world contracting, many eons of the world evolving, many eons of the world contracting and evolving. I remember: ‘There, I was named this, my clan was that, I looked like this, and that was my food. This was how I felt pleasure and pain, and that was how my life ended. When I passed away from that place I was reborn somewhere else. There, too, I was named this, my clan was that, I looked like this, and that was my food. This was how I felt pleasure and pain, and that was how my life ended. When I passed away from that place I was reborn here.’ And so I recollect my many kinds of past lives, with features and details. | 即:一、二、三、四、五、十、二十、三十、四十、五十、一百、一千、十万个轮回;许多世界坏劫,许多世界成劫,许多世界坏成劫。我忆念:‘在那里,我叫这个名字,我的种姓是那个,我长成这样,食物是那个。我是这样感受苦乐的,生命是那样结束的。我从那个地方死后,又投生到别处。在那里,我也叫这个名字,我的种姓是那个,我长成这样,食物是那个。我是这样感受苦乐的,生命是那样结束的。我从那个地方死后,又投生到这里。’就这样,我忆念起我的多种过去生,带有特点和细节。 |
| Ahañhi, vaccha, yāvadeva ākaṅkhāmi dibbena cakkhunā visuddhena atikkantamānusakena satte passāmi cavamāne upapajjamāne hīne paṇīte suvaṇṇe dubbaṇṇe sugate duggate … pe … yathākammūpage satte pajānāmi. | And whenever I want, with clairvoyance that is purified and superhuman, I see sentient beings passing away and being reborn—inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, in a good place or a bad place. I understand how sentient beings are reborn according to their deeds. | 无论何时我想,我都能以清净超人的天眼,看见有情众生逝去又投生——劣等和优等,美丑,去到善处或恶处。我理解有情众生如何依其业而投生。 |
| Ahañhi, vaccha, āsavānaṃ khayā anāsavaṃ cetovimuttiṃ paññāvimuttiṃ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharāmi. | And I have realized the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life. I live having realized it with my own insight due to the ending of defilements. | 我已在此生中证得无漏心解脱和慧解脱。由于烦恼的止息,我已以自己的洞察力证得并安住其中。 |
| ‘Tevijjo samaṇo gotamo’ti kho, vaccha, byākaramāno vuttavādī ceva me assa, na ca maṃ abhūtena abbhācikkheyya, dhammassa cānudhammaṃ byākareyya, na ca koci sahadhammiko vādānuvādo gārayhaṃ ṭhānaṃ āgaccheyyā”ti. | ‘The ascetic Gotama has the three knowledges.’ Answering like this you would repeat what I have said, and not misrepresent me with an untruth. You would explain in line with my teaching, and there would be no legitimate grounds for rebuke and criticism.” | ‘沙门乔达摩具有三明。’这样回答,你就是在重复我所说的话,而不会用虚假不实之词歪曲我。你将依我的教法解释,就不会有任何正当的理由可以驳斥和批评。” |
+71.4 – (Buddha says there are no lay people arahants)
| Evaṃ vutte, vacchagotto paribbājako bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | When he said this, the wanderer Vacchagotta said to the Buddha: | 听他如此说,跋迦姓游方者对佛陀说: |
| “atthi nu kho, bho gotama, koci gihī gihisaṃyojanaṃ appahāya kāyassa bhedā dukkhassantakaro”ti? | “Master Gotama, are there any laypeople who, without giving up the fetter of lay life, make an end of suffering when the body breaks up?” | “乔达摩大师,是否有在家居士,不舍在家生活的束缚,而能在身坏时终结痛苦?” |
| “Natthi kho, vaccha, koci gihī gihisaṃyojanaṃ appahāya kāyassa bhedā dukkhassantakaro”ti. | “No, Vaccha.” | “不,婆蹉。” |
+71.5 – (but way more than 500 laypeople reborn in heaven)
| “Atthi pana, bho gotama, koci gihī gihisaṃyojanaṃ appahāya kāyassa bhedā saggūpago”ti? | “But are there any laypeople who, without giving up the fetter of lay life, go to heaven when the body breaks up?” | “但是否有在家居士,不舍在家生活的束缚,而能在身坏时生天?” |
| “Na kho, vaccha, ekaṃyeva sataṃ na dve satāni na tīṇi satāni na cattāri satāni na pañca satāni, atha kho bhiyyova ye gihī gihisaṃyojanaṃ appahāya kāyassa bhedā saggūpagā”ti. | “There’s not just one hundred laypeople, Vaccha, or two or three or four or five hundred, but many more than that who, without giving up the fetter of lay life, go to heaven when the body breaks up.” | “婆蹉,不只一百、两百、三百、四百、五百个在家居士,而是更多更多的人,不舍在家生活的束缚,却能在身坏时生天。” |
| “Atthi nu kho, bho gotama, koci ājīvako kāyassa bhedā dukkhassantakaro”ti? | “Master Gotama, are there any Ājīvaka ascetics who make an end of suffering when the body breaks up?” | “乔达摩大师,是否有阿耆毗伽苦行者在身坏时终结痛苦?” |
| “Natthi kho, vaccha, koci ājīvako kāyassa bhedā dukkhassantakaro”ti. | “No, Vaccha.” | “不,婆蹉。” |
+71.6 – (only 1 Ājīvaka ascetics in 91 aeons who went to heaven)
| “Atthi pana, bho gotama, koci ājīvako kāyassa bhedā saggūpago”ti? | “But are there any Ājīvaka ascetics who go to heaven when the body breaks up?” | “但是否有阿耆毗伽苦行者能在身坏时生天?” |
| “Ito kho so, vaccha, ekanavuto kappo yamahaṃ anussarāmi, nābhijānāmi kañci ājīvakaṃ saggūpagaṃ aññatra ekena; | “Vaccha, when I recollect the past ninety-one eons, I can’t find any Ājīvaka ascetics who have gone to heaven, except one; | “婆蹉,当我忆念过去九十一劫时,我找不到任何阿耆毗伽苦行者曾生天,除了一个; |

| “Evaṃ sante, bho gotama, suññaṃ aduṃ titthāyatanaṃ antamaso saggūpagenapī”ti? | “In that case, Master Gotama, the sectarian tenets are empty even of the chance to go to heaven.” | “既然如此,乔达摩大师,那么外道的教义连生天的机会都没有。” |
| “Evaṃ, vaccha, suññaṃ aduṃ titthāyatanaṃ antamaso saggūpagenapī”ti. | “Yes, Vaccha, the sectarian tenets are empty even of the chance to go to heaven.” | “是的,婆蹉,外道的教义连生天的机会都没有。” |
| Idamavoca bhagavā. | That is what the Buddha said. | 这就是佛陀所说的。 |
| Attamano vacchagotto paribbājako bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinandīti. | Satisfied, the wanderer Vacchagotta was happy with what the Buddha said. | 跋迦姓游方者心满意足,对佛陀所说的感到欢喜。 |

| “Evaṃ, bho”ti kho vacchagotto paribbājako bhagavato paccassosi. | “Yes, sir,” Vaccha replied. | “是的,先生,”跋迦回答说。 |
| Bhagavā etadavoca: | The Buddha said this: | 佛陀如此说: |

| Iti kho, vaccha, ime tayo dhammā akusalā, tayo dhammā kusalā. | So there are these three unskillful things and three that are skillful. | 所以,有这三种不善和三种善。” |
| Pāṇātipāto kho, vaccha, akusalaṃ, pāṇātipātā veramaṇī kusalaṃ; | Killing living creatures, stealing, and sexual misconduct; speech that’s false, divisive, harsh, or nonsensical; covetousness, ill will, and wrong view: these things are unskillful. | 杀害生灵、偷盗、邪淫;妄语、两舌、恶口、绮语;贪婪、瞋恚、邪见:这些是不善的。 |

They spoke ill of the noble ones; they had wrong view; and they chose to act out of that wrong view. When their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell. These dear beings, however, did good things by way of body, speech, and mind. They never spoke ill of the noble ones; they had right view; and they chose to act out of that right view.

| Atha kho āyasmā vacchagotto bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinanditvā anumoditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṃ katvā pakkāmi. | And then Venerable Vacchagotta approved and agreed with what the Buddha said. He got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving. | 然后,尊者跋蹉种接受并同意佛陀所说的。他从座位上起身,向佛陀鞠躬,恭敬地右绕佛陀,然后离开。 |

He lived having achieved with his own insight the goal for which people from good families rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness. | 然后,跋蹉种独自一人,离群索居,精进、热忱、坚定,很快就在此生证得了灵性道路的最高目标。他以自己的洞察力证得了善家弟子出家寻求无家生活的目的。 |
| “Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā”ti abbhaññāsi. | He understood: “Rebirth is ended; the spiritual journey has been completed; what had to be done has been done; there is no return to any state of existence.” | 他明白了:“轮回已尽;灵性之旅已完成;该做的都已做完;不再回到任何存在状态。” |
| Aññataro kho panāyasmā vacchagotto arahataṃ ahosi. | And Venerable Vacchagotta became one of the perfected. | 尊者跋蹉种成为了一位阿罗汉。 |

| Disvāna yena te bhikkhū tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā te bhikkhū etadavoca: | went up to them, and said: | 便上前对他们说: |
| “handa kahaṃ pana tumhe āyasmanto gacchathā”ti? | “Hello venerables, where are you going?” | “尊者们好,你们要去哪里?” |
| “Bhagavantaṃ kho mayaṃ, āvuso, dassanāya gacchāmā”ti. | “Reverend, we are going to see the Buddha.” | “尊者,我们正要去拜见佛陀。” |
| “Tenahāyasmanto mama vacanena bhagavato pāde sirasā vandatha, evañca vadetha: | “Well then, reverends, in my name please bow with your head to the Buddha’s feet and say: | “那么,尊者们,请替我向佛陀的足下顶礼,并说: |

| Atha kho te bhikkhū yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu. Ekamantaṃ nisinnā kho te bhikkhū bhagavantaṃ etadavocuṃ: | Then those monks went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: | 然后,那些比丘走到佛陀那里,顶礼,坐在一旁,对他说: |
| “āyasmā, bhante, vacchagotto bhagavato pāde sirasā vandati, evañca vadeti: | “Sir, the monk Vacchagotta bows with his head to your feet and says: | “世尊,比丘跋蹉种向您的足下顶礼,并说: |
| ‘pariciṇṇo me bhagavā, pariciṇṇo me sugato’”ti. | ‘I have served the Blessed One! I have served the Holy One!’” | ‘我已侍奉世尊!我已侍奉圣者!’” |
| “Pubbeva me, bhikkhave, vacchagotto bhikkhu cetasā ceto paricca vidito: | “I’ve already comprehended Vacchagotta’s mind and understood that | “我早已了知跋蹉种的心,并理解他 |
| ‘tevijjo vacchagotto bhikkhu mahiddhiko mahānubhāvo’ti. | he has the three knowledges, and is very mighty and powerful. | 拥有三明,并且非常强大有力。 |
| Devatāpi me etamatthaṃ ārocesuṃ: ‘tevijjo, bhante, vacchagotto bhikkhu mahiddhiko mahānubhāvo’”ti. |
And deities also told me.” | 诸天也告诉我了。” |
| Idamavoca bhagavā. | That is what the Buddha said. | 佛陀就是这样说的。 |
| Attamanā te bhikkhū bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinandunti. | Satisfied, the monks were happy with what the Buddha said. | 比丘们心满意足,对佛陀所说的感到欢喜。 |

| Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya kammāsadhammaṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. | Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Kammāsadamma for alms. | 然后,佛陀在早上穿上衣服,拿起他的钵和袈裟,进入卡玛萨达玛乞食。 |

He lived having achieved with his own insight the goal for which people from good families rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness. | 受戒后不久,尊者摩犍提亚独自一人,离群索居,精进、热忱、坚定,就在此生证得了灵性道路的最高境界。他以自己的洞察力证得了善家子弟舍弃居家生活而过无家生活的目的。 |
| “Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā”ti abbhaññāsi. | He understood: “Rebirth is ended; the spiritual journey has been completed; what had to be done has been done; there is no return to any state of existence.” | 他明白了:“轮回已尽;梵行已立;所作已办;不再回到任何存在状态。” |
| Aññataro kho panāyasmā māgaṇḍiyo arahataṃ ahosīti. | And Venerable Māgaṇḍiya became one of the perfected. | 尊者摩犍提亚成为了一位阿罗汉。 |

Well, there are disciples of mine who eat a cupful of food, or half a cupful; they eat a wood apple, or half a wood apple. | “乌陀夷,假设我的弟子们忠诚于我是因为我少食。那么,我的弟子中有吃一杯饭的,或半杯饭的;他们吃一个木苹果,或半个木苹果。 |
| Ahaṃ kho pana, udāyi, appekadā iminā pattena samatittikampi bhuñjāmi bhiyyopi bhuñjāmi. | But sometimes I even eat this bowl full to the brim, or even more. | 但我有时甚至吃满溢的这碗饭,甚至更多。 |

+(1. Has rūpa, sees rūpa)
rūpī rūpāni passati. |
[From a samādhi where the mind can perceive the 5 senses, the meditator] sees form [internally and externally, his own body and external objects]. |
ayaṃ paṭhamo vimokkho. |
This is the first liberation. |
| [All four jhānas can fall under this first liberation, though the primary one must be the imperturbable version of 4th jhāna since only there is it strong and reliable enough to have all day luminosity, divine eye, and ability to see internal body organs and their colors as in the 8 abhi-bha-ayatana.] | |
+(2. Doesn’t perceive internal rūpa, perceives external rūpa)
“ajjhattaṃ a-rūpa-saññī, |
[From a samādhi where the mind is no longer connected to the 5 senses of the body, the meditator] can not see his own body and internal organs, |
bahiddhā rūpāni passati. |
but he can see external forms [and their colors as described in 8 abhi-bha-ayatana]. |
ayaṃ dutiyo vimokkho. |
This is the second liberation. |
| [The four jhānas are not included in the second liberation, since one is in a formless attainment where one can not perceive the physical body.] | |
+(3. Focused on ‘subha’ beautiful)
“subha-nteva adhimutto hoti. |
They’re focused only on ‘beauty’ [, a code word referring to metta, friendly-kindness, or any of the four brahma vihāras, the divine abidings]. |
| [Following the standard formula for brahma-vihāras, they pervade that energy in 8 directions.] | |
ayaṃ tatiyo vimokkho. |
This is the third liberation. |
+(4. ākāsā-nañcā-(a)yatanaṃ: Dimension of infinite space)
sabbaso rūpa-saññānaṃ samatikkamā |
Going totally beyond perceptions of [both the internal physical body and external] forms, |
Paṭigha-saññānaṃ atthaṅgamā |
with the ending of perceptions of impingement, [such as extreme cold, heat, bug bites that can only be felt when the mind is still connected to the 5 senses], |
nānatta-saññānaṃ a-manasikārā |
not focusing on perceptions of diversity [that occur when the five sense faculties are active], |
‘an-anto ākāso’ti |
[one perceives that] ‘space is infinite’, |
ākāsānañcā-(a)yatanaṃ upasampajja viharati. |
they enter and remain in the dimension of infinite space. |
ayaṃ catuttho vimokkho. |
This is the fourth liberation. |
+(5. Viññāṇañcā-(a)yatanaṃ: Dimension of infinite consciousness)
sabbaso ākāsānañcā-(a)yatanaṃ samatikkamma |
Going totally beyond the dimension of infinite space, |
'An-antaṃ viññāṇan’ti |
[one perceives that] ‘the consciousness [that remains when the perception of infinite space drops out is also] infinite’, |
viññāṇañcā-(a)yatanaṃ upasampajja viharati. |
they enter and remain in the dimension of infinite consciousness. |
ayaṃ pañcamo vimokkho. |
This is the fifth liberation. |
+(6. ākiñcaññā-(a)yatanaṃ: Dimension of nothingness)
sabbaso viññāṇañcā-(a)yatanaṃ samatikkamma |
Going totally beyond the dimension of infinite consciousness, |
'N-atthi kiñcī’ti |
[one perceives that] ‘there is nothing at all’ [after one drops the perception of infinite consciousness], |
ākiñcaññā-(a)yatanaṃ upasampajja viharati. |
they enter and remain in the dimension of nothingness. |
ayaṃ chaṭṭho vimokkho. |
This is the sixth liberation. |
+(7. Neva-saññā-nāsaññā-(a)yatanaṃ: Dimension of neither perception nor non-perception)
sabbaso ākiñcaññā-(a)yatanaṃ samatikkamma |
Going totally beyond the dimension of nothingness, |
Neva-saññā-nāsaññā-(a)yatanaṃ upasampajja viharati. |
they enter and remain in the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception. |
| [This means that awareness is too subtle to be considered ‘perception’, but there is enough awareness to know you’re not unconscious.] | |
ayaṃ sattamo vimokkho. |
This is the seventh liberation. |
+(8. Saññā-vedayita-nirodhaṃ: Cessation of perception and sensation)
sabbaso neva-saññā-nāsaññā-(a)yatanaṃ samatikkamma |
Going totally beyond the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception, |
Saññā-vedayita-nirodhaṃ upasampajja viharati |
they enter and remain in the cessation of perception and sensation. |
ayaṃ aṭṭhamo vimokkho. |
This is the eighth liberation. |
| Tatra ca pana me sāvakā bahū abhiññāvosānapāramippattā viharanti. | And many of my disciples meditate on that having attained perfection and consummation of insight. | 我的许多弟子在证得圆满和究竟的洞察力后,修习这种禅修。 |

+(5-8 usually start with one of the 31 body parts of suitable color)
| [For the next four dimensions, the meditator can directly conjure up a visual perception of a chosen color as the ‘external form’, but the preferred way is to use one of the 31 body parts of an external being as a starting point, then focus on the dominant color of that body part.

| So imameva kāyaṃ vivekajena pītisukhena abhisandeti parisandeti paripūreti parippharati, nāssa kiñci sabbāvato kāyassa vivekajena pītisukhena apphuṭaṃ hoti. | They drench, steep, fill, and spread their body with mental-joy and pleasure born of seclusion. There’s no part of the body that’s not spread with mental-joy and pleasure born of seclusion. | 他们以因远离而生的喜和乐浸润、充满、遍布、弥漫全身。身体没有哪个部分不被因远离而生的喜和乐所遍布。 |

There’s no inlet to the east, west, north, or south, and no rainfall to replenish it from time to time. | 这就像一个由泉水滋养的深湖。东方、西方、南方或北方都没有入口,也没有雨水不时地补充。 |

There’s no part of the lake that’s not spread through with cool water. | 但是,湖中涌出的清凉水流浸润、充满、遍布整个湖泊。湖泊没有哪个部分不被清凉水所遍布。 |

They meditate with equanimous-observation, rememberful and aware, personally experiencing pleasure with the flesh and blood physical body of which the noble ones declare, ‘Equanimous and rememberful, one meditates in pleasure.’ | 此外,随着喜的消退,一位比丘进入并安住于第三禅。他们以舍心禅修,具念、正知,亲身体验圣者所宣称的“舍心具念,安住于乐”的乐。 |

Some of them sprout and grow in the water without rising above it, thriving underwater. From the tip to the root they’re drenched, steeped, filled, and soaked with cool water. There’s no part of them that’s not soaked with cool water. | 这就像一个有蓝色睡莲,或粉色或白色莲花的池塘。其中一些在水中萌芽生长,没有高出水面,在水下茁壮成长。从尖端到根部,它们被清凉水浸润、充满、遍布、渗透。它们没有哪个部分不被清凉水渗透。 |

It is without pleasure or pain, with pure equanimous-observation and remembering. | 此外,舍弃乐和苦,止息先前的快乐和忧伤,一位比丘进入并安住于第四禅。第四禅没有乐和苦,只有纯净的舍心和念。 |
| So imameva kāyaṃ parisuddhena cetasā pariyodātena pharitvā nisinno hoti, nāssa kiñci sabbāvato kāyassa parisuddhena cetasā pariyodātena apphuṭaṃ hoti. | They sit spreading their body through with pure bright mind. There’s no part of the body that’s not spread with pure bright mind. | 他们端坐,以纯净明亮的心遍布全身。身体没有哪个部分不被纯净明亮的心所遍布。 |
| Seyyathāpi, udāyi, puriso odātena vatthena sasīsaṃ pārupitvā nisinno assa, nāssa kiñci sabbāvato kāyassa odātena vatthena apphuṭaṃ assa; | It’s like someone sitting wrapped from head to foot with white cloth.

They understand how sentient beings are reborn according to their deeds: ‘These dear beings did bad things by way of body, speech, and mind. They spoke ill of the noble ones; they had wrong view; and they chose to act out of that wrong view. When their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell. These dear beings, however, did good things by way of body, speech, and mind. They never spoke ill of the noble ones; they had right view; and they chose to act out of that right view. When their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.’ And so, with clairvoyance that is purified and superhuman, they see sentient beings passing away and being reborn—inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, in a good place or a bad place. They understand how sentient beings are reborn according to their deeds. | 此外,我向我的弟子们解释了一种修行,他们用它来通过清净而超人性的天眼通,看到众生逝去和投生——劣等和优等,美丽和丑陋,在善趣或恶趣。他们理解众生如何根据他们的业力投生:“这些可爱的众生在身、语、意方面做了恶事。他们恶言诋毁圣者;他们有邪见;他们选择根据邪见行事。当他们的身体坏灭,死后,他们投生到堕落之处,恶趣,地狱。然而,这些可爱的众生在身、语、意方面做了善事。他们从不恶言诋毁圣者;他们有正见;他们选择根据正见行事。当他们的身体坏灭,死后,他们投生到善趣,天界。”他们就这样通过清净而超人性的天眼通,看到众生逝去和投生——劣等和优等,美丽和丑陋,在善趣或恶趣。他们理解众生如何根据他们的业力投生。 |

Introduction
This sutta illustrates a principle set forth in DN 1: that run-of-the-mill people, when praising the Buddha, tend to speak only of minor matters, connected with virtue. They don’t really understand the higher reasons for giving the Buddha the praise he rightly deserves.
Sakuludāyin the wanderer, in conversation with the Buddha, here states that the Buddha is respected by his followers because he eats little; he is content with little in terms of food, clothing, and shelter; and he practices seclusion. The Buddha replies that he has students who eat less than he does; who are more ascetic than he is in terms of food, clothing, and shelter; and who practice seclusion more stringently than he does. If Sakuludāyin’s reasons were the only ones for which the Buddha’s followers respected him, these more stringent followers wouldn’t respect him at all.
The Buddha then goes on to explain five deeper reasons for which his followers respect him. The five fall into two sorts: Dharmas of his character, and his ability to teach them to master many skills, all the way to the total ending of suffering.
Because the Buddha in this sutta states that he does not follow the strict ascetic regimen that some of his students do, some people have interpreted this sutta as an implied criticism of those students and of ascetic regimens in general. This interpretation, however, takes the Buddha’s statements out of two contexts: their context within this sutta, and their context within his statements about ascetic regimens in other suttas.
In terms of this sutta, there is nothing in the Buddha’s words in this sutta to suggest that he is criticizing his stricter followers in any way. And in terms of his statements about asceticism in other suttas, it’s easy to see why. MN 101 contains a passage that is particularly relevant here.
“Suppose a fletcher were to heat & warm an arrow shaft between two flames, making it straight & pliable. Then at a later time he would no longer heat & warm the shaft between two flames, making it straight & pliable. Why is that? Because he has attained the goal for which he was heating & warming the shaft. That is why at a later time he would no longer heat & warm the shaft between two flames, making it straight & pliable.
“In the same way, the monk notices this: ‘When I live according to my pleasure, unskillful Dharmas increase in me & skillful Dharmas decline. When I exert myself with stress & pain, though, unskillful Dharmas decline in me & skillful Dharmas increase. Why don’t I exert myself with stress & pain?’ So he exerts himself with stress & pain, and while he is exerting himself with stress & pain, unskillful Dharmas decline in him, & skillful Dharmas increase. Then at a later time he would no longer exert himself with stress & pain. Why is that? Because he has attained the goal for which he was exerting himself with stress & pain. That is why, at a later time, he would no longer exert himself with stress & pain.” — MN 101
This passage makes two points. The first is that some people find that they cannot indulge in certain pleasures without provoking unskillful Dharmas in the mind. In cases like that, they have to avoid those pleasure and practice with pain. This would be the legitimate reason for which the Buddha’s followers would follow a stricter ascetic regimen than the Buddha, and there would be no reason for him to criticize them for doing so.
The second point explains why the Buddha himself no longer adheres to an ascetic regimen: He has already achieved his goal, and so is in no danger of falling back, even when eating larger amounts of food; when making use of exquisite food, clothing, and shelter; and when living surrounded by students and visitors. He is like the fletcher who has succeeded in straightening the arrow and no longer has to heat it between two flames.
Rather than taking a categorical position that all asceticism is bad or all asceticism is good, the Buddha took an analytical approach to the issue:
“If, when an asceticism is pursued, unskillful Dharmas increase and skillful Dharmas decline, then I tell you that that sort of asceticism is not to be pursued. But if, when an asceticism is pursued, unskillful Dharmas decline and skillful Dharmas increase, then I tell you that that sort of asceticism is to be pursued.” — AN 10:94
“Headman, those who say, ‘Gotama the contemplative criticizes all asceticism, that he categorically denounces & disparages all ascetics who live the rough life,’ are not saying what I have said, and they slander me with what is unfactual & untrue.…
“As for the ascetic living the rough life who afflicts & torments himself, who doesn’t attain a skilled state, and doesn’t realize a superior human state, a truly noble distinction of knowledge & vision: This ascetic living the rough life can be criticized on three grounds. On which three grounds can he be criticized? ‘He afflicts & torments himself’: This is the first ground on which he can be criticized. ‘He doesn’t attain a skilled state’: This is the second ground on which he can be criticized. ‘He doesn’t realize a superior human state, a truly noble distinction of knowledge & vision’: This is the third ground on which he can be criticized.…
“As for the ascetic living the rough life who afflicts & torments himself, who attains a skilled state, and who realizes a superior human state, a truly noble distinction of knowledge & vision: This ascetic living the rough life can be criticized on one ground and praised on two. On which one ground can he be criticized? ‘He afflicts & torments himself’: This is the one ground on which he can be criticized.… On which two grounds can he be praised? ‘He attains a skilled state’: This is the first ground on which he can be praised. ‘He realizes a superior human state, a truly noble distinction of knowledge & vision’: This is the second ground on which he can be praised.” — SN 42:12
The last example shows that ascetic practices, in and of themselves, are not necessarily contrary to the middle way. It is possible to follow them all the way to the noble attainments. And, as this sutta shows, only when you have followed the path to its culmination and attained the noble attainments can you fully appreciate how skilled a teacher the Buddha was.

| Atha kho bhagavā maggā okkamma aññatarasmiṃ padese sitaṃ pātvākāsi. | Then the Buddha left the road, and at a certain spot he smiled. | 然后佛陀离开了道路,在某个地方微笑了。 |
| Atha kho āyasmato ānandassa etadahosi: | Then Venerable Ānanda thought: | 于是,阿难尊者心想: |
| “ko nu kho hetu, ko paccayo bhagavato sitassa pātukammāya? | “What is the cause, what is the reason why the Buddha smiled? | “佛陀微笑的原因是什么? |
| Na akāraṇena tathāgatā sitaṃ pātukarontī”ti. | Realized Ones do not smile for no reason.” | 觉悟者不会无缘无故地微笑。” |

| Atha kho āyasmā ānando catugguṇaṃ saṅghāṭiṃ paññapetvā bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then Ānanda spread out his outer robe folded in four and said to the Buddha: | 于是阿难将外袍叠成四层铺开,对佛陀说: |
| “tena hi, bhante, bhagavā nisīdatu ettha. | “Well then, sir, may the Blessed One sit here! | “那好,世尊,愿世尊坐在这里! |

| Assosuṃ kho thullakoṭṭhikā brāhmaṇagahapatikā: | The brahmins and householders of Thullakoṭṭhita heard: | 图拉哥提塔的婆罗门和居士们听说了: |
| “samaṇo khalu, bho, gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito kurūsu cārikaṃ caramāno mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ thullakoṭṭhikaṃ anuppatto. | “It seems the ascetic Gotama—a Sakyan, gone forth from a Sakyan family—has arrived at Thullakoṭṭhita, together with a large Saṅgha of monks. | “据说沙门乔达摩——一位释迦族的,从释迦族家庭出家的——已抵达图拉哥提塔,并与一大群僧侣在一起。 |
| Taṃ kho pana bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ evaṃ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato: | He has this good reputation: | 他有这样的美誉: |
| ‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṃ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṃ buddho bhagavā’ti. | ‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those who wish to train, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’ | ‘那位世尊是阿罗汉,正等正觉,明行具足,善逝,世间解,无上士,调御丈夫,天人师,佛,世尊。’ |
| So imaṃ lokaṃ sadevakaṃ samārakaṃ sabrahmakaṃ sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiṃ pajaṃ sadevamanussaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā pavedeti. | He has realized with his own insight this world—with its gods, Māras and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—and he makes it known to others. | 他以自己的洞察力证悟了这个世界——包括诸天、魔罗、梵天,以及世人中的沙门、婆罗门、天人——并将其教导给他人。 |
| So dhammaṃ deseti ādikalyāṇaṃ majjhekalyāṇaṃ pariyosānakalyāṇaṃ sātthaṃ sabyañjanaṃ, kevalaparipuṇṇaṃ parisuddhaṃ brahmacariyaṃ pakāseti. | He teaches Dhamma that’s good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased. And he reveals a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure. | 他所教导的佛法,初善、中善、后善,义理周全,文辞优美。他所揭示的梵行,完全圆满纯净。 |
| Sādhu kho pana tathārūpānaṃ arahataṃ dassanaṃ hotī”ti. | It’s good to see such perfected ones.” | 能见到这样的圆满者真是太好了。” |
| Atha kho thullakoṭṭhikā brāhmaṇagahapatikā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā appekacce bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu; appekacce bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodiṃsu, sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu; appekacce yena bhagavā tenañjaliṃ paṇāmetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu; appekacce bhagavato santike nāmagottaṃ sāvetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu; appekacce tuṇhībhūtā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu. | Then the brahmins and householders of Thullakoṭṭhita went up to the Buddha. Before sitting down to one side, some bowed, some exchanged greetings and polite conversation, some held up their joined palms toward the Buddha, some announced their name and clan, while some kept silent. | 于是图拉哥提塔的婆罗门和居士们来到佛陀面前。在坐到一边之前,有些人顶礼,有些人互相问候并礼貌交谈,有些人合掌向佛陀,有些人报上自己的姓名和氏族,而有些人则保持沉默。 |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinne kho thullakoṭṭhike brāhmaṇagahapatike bhagavā dhammiyā kathāya sandassesi samādapesi samuttejesi sampahaṃsesi. | When they were seated, the Buddha educated, encouraged, fired up, and inspired them with a Dhamma talk. | 他们坐定后,佛陀以佛法谈话来教导、鼓励、激励、启发他们。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena raṭṭhapālo nāma kulaputto tasmiṃyeva thullakoṭṭhike aggakulassa putto tissaṃ parisāyaṃ nisinno hoti. | Now at that time a respectable person named Raṭṭhapāla, the son of the leading clan in Thullakoṭṭhita, was sitting in the assembly. | 当时,一位名叫拉塔波罗的受尊敬的人,他是图拉哥提塔主要家族的儿子,正坐在集会中。 |
| Atha kho raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa etadahosi: | He thought: | 他想: |
| “yathā yathā khvāhaṃ bhagavatā dhammaṃ desitaṃ ājānāmi, nayidaṃ sukaraṃ agāraṃ ajjhāvasatā ekantaparipuṇṇaṃ ekantaparisuddhaṃ saṅkhalikhitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ carituṃ. | “As I understand the Buddha’s Dharmas, it’s not easy for someone living at home to lead the spiritual life utterly full and pure, like a polished shell. | “依我理解佛陀的教导,在家生活的人要过完全圆满纯净,像磨光的贝壳一样的灵性生活,并不容易。 |
| Yannūnāhaṃ kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajeyyan”ti. | Why don’t I cut off my hair and beard, dress in ocher robes, and go forth from lay life to homelessness?” | 我何不剃除须发,披上袈裟,从在家生活出家,过无家生活呢?” |
| Atha kho thullakoṭṭhikā brāhmaṇagahapatikā bhagavatā dhammiyā kathāya sandassitā samādapitā samuttejitā sampahaṃsitā bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinanditvā anumoditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṃ katvā pakkamiṃsu. | Then, having approved and agreed with what the Buddha said, the brahmins and householders of Thullakoṭṭhita got up from their seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on their right, before leaving. | 然后,图拉哥提塔的婆罗门和居士们赞同并同意了佛陀所说的话,他们从座位上站起来,向佛陀顶礼,恭敬地右绕佛陀,然后离开了。 |
| Atha kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto acirapakkantesu thullakoṭṭhikesu brāhmaṇagahapatikesu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Soon after they left, Raṭṭhapāla went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: | 他们离开后不久,拉塔波罗走到佛陀面前,向佛陀顶礼,坐到一边,然后对佛陀说: |
| “yathā yathāhaṃ, bhante, bhagavatā dhammaṃ desitaṃ ājānāmi, nayidaṃ sukaraṃ agāraṃ ajjhāvasatā ekantaparipuṇṇaṃ ekantaparisuddhaṃ saṅkhalikhitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ carituṃ. | “Sir, as I understand the Buddha’s Dharmas, it’s not easy for someone living at home to lead the spiritual life utterly full and pure, like a polished shell. | “世尊,依我理解佛陀的教导,在家生活的人要过完全圆满纯净,像磨光的贝壳一样的灵性生活,并不容易。 |

| Labheyyāhaṃ, bhante, bhagavato santike pabbajjaṃ, labheyyaṃ upasampadaṃ. | Sir, may I receive the going forth, the ordination in the Buddha’s presence? | 世尊,我可以在佛陀面前获得出家受戒吗? |
| Pabbājetu maṃ bhagavā”ti. | May the Buddha please give me the going forth.” | 请佛陀让我出家吧。” |
| “Anuññātosi pana tvaṃ, raṭṭhapāla, mātāpitūhi agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāyā”ti? | “But, Raṭṭhapāla, do you have your parents’ permission?” | “可是,拉塔波罗,你得到你父母的允许了吗?” |
| “Na khohaṃ, bhante, anuññāto mātāpitūhi agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāyā”ti. | “No, sir.” | “没有,世尊。” |
| “Na kho, raṭṭhapāla, tathāgatā ananuññātaṃ mātāpitūhi puttaṃ pabbājentī”ti. | “Raṭṭhapāla, Buddhas don’t give the going forth to the child of parents who haven’t given their permission.” | “拉塔波罗,佛陀不会让未经父母允许的孩子出家。” |
| “Svāhaṃ, bhante, tathā karissāmi yathā maṃ mātāpitaro anujānissanti agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāyā”ti. | “I’ll make sure, sir, to get my parents’ permission.” | “世尊,我会确保得到我父母的允许。” |

Then he went to his parents and said: | 然后拉塔波罗从座位上站起来,向佛陀顶礼,恭敬地右绕佛陀。然后他走到父母那里说: |
| “ammatātā, yathā yathāhaṃ bhagavatā dhammaṃ desitaṃ ājānāmi, nayidaṃ sukaraṃ agāraṃ ajjhāvasatā ekantaparipuṇṇaṃ ekantaparisuddhaṃ saṅkhalikhitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ carituṃ. | “Mum and dad, as I understand the Buddha’s Dharmas, it’s not easy for someone living at home to lead the spiritual life utterly full and pure, like a polished shell. | “爸爸妈妈,依我理解佛陀的教导,在家生活的人要过完全圆满纯净,像磨光的贝壳一样的灵性生活,并不容易。 |

| Evaṃ vutte, raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa mātāpitaro raṭṭhapālaṃ kulaputtaṃ etadavocuṃ: | When he said this, Raṭṭhapāla’s parents said to him: | 当他这么说时,拉塔波罗的父母对他说: |

and a third time, Raṭṭhapāla asked his parents for permission, but got the same reply. | 第三次,拉塔波罗向他父母请求允许,但得到了相同的答复。 |
| Atha kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto: | Then Raṭṭhapāla thought: | 于是拉塔波罗想: |

He went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: | 拉塔波罗起身,恢复了体力。他来到佛陀面前,向佛陀顶礼,坐到一边,然后对佛陀说: |
| “anuññāto ahaṃ, bhante, mātāpitūhi agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāya. | “Sir, I have my parentsʼ permission to go forth from the lay life to homelessness. | “世尊,我已得到父母的允许,可以从在家生活出家,过无家生活。 |
| Pabbājetu maṃ bhagavā”ti. | May the Buddha please give me the going forth.” | 请佛陀允许我出家吧。” |
| Alattha kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto bhagavato santike pabbajjaṃ, alattha upasampadaṃ. | And Raṭṭhapāla received the going forth, the ordination in the Buddha’s presence. | 于是拉塔波罗获得了出家受戒,在佛陀面前受具足戒。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā acirūpasampanne āyasmante raṭṭhapāle aḍḍhamāsupasampanne thullakoṭṭhike yathābhirantaṃ viharitvā yena sāvatthi tena cārikaṃ pakkāmi. | Not long after Venerable Raṭṭhapāla’s ordination, a fortnight later, the Buddha—having stayed in Thullakoṭṭhita as long as he wished—set out for Sāvatthī. | 拉塔波罗尊者受戒后不久,两周后,佛陀——在图拉哥提塔随心所欲地住了一段时间后——动身前往舍卫城。 |
| Anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena sāvatthi tadavasari. | Traveling stage by stage, he arrived at Sāvatthī, | 他一路跋涉,抵达舍卫城, |
| Tatra sudaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. | where he stayed in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. | 住在祇树给孤独园。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo eko vūpakaṭṭho appamatto ātāpī pahitatto viharanto nacirasseva—yassatthāya kulaputtā sammadeva agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajanti, tadanuttaraṃ—brahmacariyapariyosānaṃ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja vihāsi. | Then Venerable Raṭṭhapāla, living alone, withdrawn, assiduous, ardent, and resolute, soon realized the supreme end of the spiritual path in this very life. He lived having achieved with his own insight the goal for which people from good families rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness. | 然后拉塔波罗尊者独居、离群、精进、热忱、坚定,很快就在此生证得了梵行的最高境界。他以自己的洞察力证得了善男子正当从在家生活出家,过无家生活的目标。 |
| “Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā”ti abbhaññāsi. | He understood: “Rebirth is ended; the spiritual journey has been completed; what had to be done has been done; there is no return to any state of existence.” | 他明白:“生死已尽;梵行已立;应做已做;不再有任何存在状态。” |
| Aññataro kho panāyasmā raṭṭhapālo arahataṃ ahosi. | And Venerable Raṭṭhapāla became one of the perfected. | 于是拉塔波罗尊者成为了一位阿罗汉。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then he went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: | 然后他来到佛陀面前,向佛陀顶礼,坐到一边,然后对佛陀说: |
| “icchāmahaṃ, bhante, mātāpitaro uddassetuṃ, sace maṃ bhagavā anujānātī”ti. | “Sir, I’d like to visit my parents, if the Buddha allows it.” | “世尊,如果佛陀允许,我想探望我的父母。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa cetasā ceto paricca manasākāsi. | Then the Buddha focused on comprehending Raṭṭhapāla’s mind. | 于是佛陀专注于理解拉塔波罗的心意。 |
| Yathā bhagavā aññāsi: | When he knew that | 当他知道 |
| “abhabbo kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto sikkhaṃ paccakkhāya hīnāyāvattitun”ti, atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ etadavoca: | it was impossible for Raṭṭhapāla to reject the training and return to a lesser life, he said: | 拉塔波罗不可能放弃修行而回到较低级的俗世生活时,他说: |
| “yassadāni tvaṃ, raṭṭhapāla, kālaṃ maññasī”ti. | “Please, Raṭṭhapāla, go at your convenience.” | “请便,拉塔波罗,你方便的时候就去吧。” |
| Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṃ katvā senāsanaṃ saṃsāmetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena thullakoṭṭhikaṃ tena cārikaṃ pakkāmi. | And then Raṭṭhapāla got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right. Then he set his lodgings in order and, taking his bowl and robe, set out for Thullakoṭṭhita. | 于是拉塔波罗从座位上站起来,向佛陀顶礼,恭敬地右绕佛陀。然后他整理好住处,持钵和僧袍,动身前往图拉哥提塔。 |
| Anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena thullakoṭṭhiko tadavasari. | Traveling stage by stage, he arrived at Thullakoṭṭhika, | 他一路跋涉,抵达图拉哥提塔, |
| Tatra sudaṃ āyasmā raṭṭhapālo thullakoṭṭhike viharati rañño korabyassa migacīre. | where he stayed in King Koravya’s deer range. | 住在俱卢维亚国王的鹿苑。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya thullakoṭṭhikaṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. | Then Raṭṭhapāla robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Thullakoṭṭhita for alms. | 然后拉塔波罗清晨着衣,持钵和僧袍,进入图拉哥提塔乞食。 |
| Thullakoṭṭhike sapadānaṃ piṇḍāya caramāno yena sakapitu nivesanaṃ tenupasaṅkami. | Wandering indiscriminately for alms-food, he approached his own father’s house. | 漫无目的地乞食,他来到了自己父亲的家。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā majjhimāya dvārasālāya ullikhāpeti. | Now at that time Raṭṭhapāla’s father was having his hair dressed in the hall of the middle gate. | 当时拉塔波罗的父亲正在中门厅梳理头发。 |
| Addasā kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ dūratova āgacchantaṃ. | He saw Raṭṭhapāla coming off in the distance | 他远远地看到拉塔波罗走来 |
| Disvāna etadavoca: | and said: | 他说: |
| “imehi muṇḍakehi samaṇakehi amhākaṃ ekaputtako piyo manāpo pabbājito”ti. | “Our dear and beloved only son was made to go forth by these shavelings, these fake ascetics!” | “我们亲爱而唯一的儿子被这些剃光头、假苦行僧的人逼着出家了!” |
| Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo sakapitu nivesane neva dānaṃ alattha na paccakkhānaṃ; | And at his own father’s house Raṭṭhapāla received neither alms nor a polite refusal, | 而在他自己父亲的家里,拉塔波罗既没有得到施舍,也没有得到礼貌的拒绝, |
| aññadatthu akkosameva alattha. | but only abuse. | 只有辱骂。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa ñātidāsī ābhidosikaṃ kummāsaṃ chaḍḍetukāmā hoti. | Now at that time a family bondservant wanted to throw away the previous night’s porridge. | 当时,一个家仆想把前一晚的粥倒掉。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo taṃ ñātidāsiṃ etadavoca: | So Raṭṭhapāla said to her: | 于是拉塔波罗对她说: |
| “sacetaṃ, bhagini, chaḍḍanīyadhammaṃ, idha me patte ākirā”ti. | “If that’s to be thrown away, sister, pour it here in my bowl.” | “如果那要倒掉,姊妹,把它倒进我的钵里。” |
| Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa ñātidāsī taṃ ābhidosikaṃ kummāsaṃ āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa patte ākirantī hatthānañca pādānañca sarassa ca nimittaṃ aggahesi. | As she was pouring the porridge into his bowl, she recognized the details of his hands, feet, and voice. | 当她把粥倒进他的钵里时,她认出了他手、脚和声音的细节。 |
| Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa ñātidāsī yenāyasmato raṭṭhapālassa mātā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa mātaraṃ etadavoca: | She then went to his mother and said: | 她于是走到他母亲面前说: |
| “yaggheyye, jāneyyāsi: | “Please, madam, you should know this. | “夫人,请您务必知道这件事。 |
| ‘ayyaputto raṭṭhapālo anuppatto’”ti. | My lord Raṭṭhapāla has arrived.” | 我的主人拉塔波罗回来了。” |
| “Sace, je, saccaṃ bhaṇasi, adāsiṃ taṃ karomī”ti. | “Wow! If you speak the truth, I’ll make you a free woman!” | “哇!如果你说的是实话,我就让你自由!” |
| Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa mātā yenāyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitaraṃ etadavoca: | Then Raṭṭhapāla’s mother went to his father and said: | 然后拉塔波罗的母亲走到他父亲面前说: |
| “yagghe, gahapati, jāneyyāsi: | “Please householder, you should know this. | “居士,请您务必知道这件事。 |
| ‘raṭṭhapālo kira kulaputto anuppatto’”ti? | It seems our son Raṭṭhapāla has arrived.” | 看来我们的儿子拉塔波罗回来了。” |
| Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā raṭṭhapālo taṃ ābhidosikaṃ kummāsaṃ aññataraṃ kuṭṭamūlaṃ nissāya paribhuñjati. | Now at that time Raṭṭhapāla was eating last night’s porridge by a wall. | 当时拉塔波罗正靠着墙吃昨晚的粥。 |
| Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā yenāyasmā raṭṭhapālo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ etadavoca: | Then Raṭṭhapāla’s father went up to him and said: | 然后拉塔波罗的父亲走到他面前说: |
| “atthi nāma, tāta raṭṭhapāla, ābhidosikaṃ kummāsaṃ paribhuñjissasi? | “Dear Raṭṭhapāla! There’s … and youʼll be eating last night’s porridge! | “亲爱的拉塔波罗!还有……你竟然在吃昨晚的粥! |
| Nanu, tāta raṭṭhapāla, sakaṃ gehaṃ gantabban”ti? | Why not go to your own home?” | 为什么不去你自己的家呢?” |
| “Kuto no, gahapati, amhākaṃ gehaṃ agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitānaṃ? | “Householder, how could those of us who have gone forth from the lay life to homelessness have a house? | “居士,我们这些从在家生活出家,过无家生活的人,怎么会有家呢? |
| Anagārā mayaṃ, gahapati. | We’re homeless, householder. | 我们是无家可归的,居士。 |
| Agamamha kho te, gahapati, gehaṃ, tattha neva dānaṃ alatthamha na paccakkhānaṃ; | I came to your house, but there I received neither alms nor a polite refusal, | 我去了你家,但在那里我既没有得到施舍,也没有得到礼貌的拒绝, |
| aññadatthu akkosameva alatthamhā”ti. | but only abuse.” | 只有辱骂。” |
| “Ehi, tāta raṭṭhapāla, gharaṃ gamissāmā”ti. | “Come, dear Raṭṭhapāla, let’s go to the house.” | “来吧,亲爱的拉塔波罗,我们回家去。” |
| “Alaṃ, gahapati, kataṃ me ajja bhattakiccaṃ”. | “Enough, householder. My meal is finished for today.” | “够了,居士。我今天的饭已经吃完了。” |
| “Tena hi, tāta raṭṭhapāla, adhivāsehi svātanāya bhattan”ti. | “Well then, dear Raṭṭhapāla, please accept tomorrow’s meal from me.” | “那么,亲爱的拉塔波罗,请接受我明天的供养。” |
| Adhivāsesi kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo tuṇhībhāvena. | Raṭṭhapāla consented in silence. | 拉塔波罗默然允诺。 |
| Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa adhivāsanaṃ viditvā yena sakaṃ nivesanaṃ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā mahantaṃ hiraññasuvaṇṇassa puñjaṃ kārāpetvā kilañjehi paṭicchādetvā āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa purāṇadutiyikā āmantesi: | Then, knowing that Raṭṭhapāla had accepted, his father went back to his own house. He made a heap of gold coins and bullion and hid it under mats. Then he addressed Raṭṭhapāla’s former wives: | 然后,拉塔波罗的父亲知道拉塔波罗已接受,便回到自己家里。他堆了一堆金币和金块,藏在垫子下面。然后他对拉塔波罗的前妻们说: |
| “etha tumhe, vadhuyo, yena alaṅkārena alaṅkatā pubbe raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa piyā hotha manāpā tena alaṅkārena alaṅkarothā”ti. | “Please, daughters-in-law, adorn yourselves in the way that our son Raṭṭhapāla found you most adorable.” | “媳妇们,请你们打扮成我们儿子拉塔波罗觉得你们最可爱的样子。” |
| Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā tassā rattiyā accayena sake nivesane paṇītaṃ khādanīyaṃ bhojanīyaṃ paṭiyādāpetvā āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa kālaṃ ārocesi: | And when the night had passed Raṭṭhapāla’s father had a variety of delicious foods prepared in his own home, and announced the time to the Venerable Raṭṭhapāla, saying: | 夜幕降临后,拉塔波罗的父亲在自己家里准备了各种美味佳肴,并通知拉塔波罗尊者时间,说: |
| “kālo, tāta raṭṭhapāla, niṭṭhitaṃ bhattan”ti. | “Sir, it’s time. The meal is ready.” | “世尊,时间到了。斋饭已备妥。” |
| Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena sakapitu nivesanaṃ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi. Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā taṃ hiraññasuvaṇṇassa puñjaṃ vivarāpetvā āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ etadavoca: | Then Raṭṭhapāla robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went to his father’s home, and sat down on the seat spread out. Then Raṭṭhapāla’s father, revealing the heap of gold coins and bullion, said to Raṭṭhapāla: | 然后拉塔波罗清晨着衣,持钵和僧袍,前往父亲的家,坐在铺好的座位上。然后拉塔波罗的父亲,显露出那堆金币和金块,对拉塔波罗说: |
| “idaṃ te, tāta raṭṭhapāla, mātu mattikaṃ dhanaṃ, aññaṃ pettikaṃ, aññaṃ pitāmahaṃ. | “Dear Raṭṭhapāla, this is your maternal fortune. There’s another paternal fortune, and an ancestral one. | “亲爱的拉塔波罗,这是你母亲那边的财富。还有一份你父亲那边的财富,以及一份祖传的财富。 |
| Sakkā, tāta raṭṭhapāla, bhoge ca bhuñjituṃ puññāni ca kātuṃ. | You can both enjoy your wealth and make merit. | 你可以既享受你的财富又积德。 |
| Ehi tvaṃ, tāta raṭṭhapāla, hīnāyāvattitvā bhoge ca bhuñjassu puññāni ca karohī”ti. | Come, return to a lesser life, enjoy wealth, and make merit!” | 来吧,回到世俗生活,享受财富,并积德!” |
| “Sace me tvaṃ, gahapati, vacanaṃ kareyyāsi, imaṃ hiraññasuvaṇṇassa puñjaṃ sakaṭe āropetvā nibbāhāpetvā majjhegaṅgāya nadiyā sote opilāpeyyāsi. | “If you’d follow my advice, householder, you’d have this heap of gold loaded on a cart and carried away to be dumped in the middle of the Ganges river. | “如果居士您听从我的建议,您会把这堆金子装上马车,运到恒河中间倒掉。 |
| Taṃ kissa hetu? | Why is that? | 为什么呢? |
| Ye uppajjissanti hi te, gahapati, tatonidānaṃ sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā”ti. | Because this will bring you nothing but sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress.” | 因为这只会给你带来悲伤、哀叹、痛苦、悲伤和苦恼。” |
| Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa purāṇadutiyikā paccekaṃ pādesu gahetvā āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ etadavocuṃ: | Then Raṭṭhapāla’s former wives each clasped his feet and said: | 然后拉塔波罗的前妻们各自抱住他的脚说: |
| “kīdisā nāma tā, ayyaputta, accharāyo yāsaṃ tvaṃ hetu brahmacariyaṃ carasī”ti? | “What are they like, lord, the nymphs for whom you lead the spiritual life?” | “主人,您为之过梵行的仙女们是什么样的呢?” |
| “Na kho mayaṃ, bhaginī, accharānaṃ hetu brahmacariyaṃ carāmā”ti. | “Sisters, I don’t lead the spiritual life for the sake of nymphs.” | “姊妹们,我不是为了仙女们而过梵行的。” |
| “Bhaginivādena no ayyaputto raṭṭhapālo samudācaratī”ti tā tattheva mucchitā papatiṃsu. | Saying, “Our lord Raṭṭhapāla refers to us as sisters!” they fainted right away. | 她们说:“我们的主人拉塔波罗竟然称我们为姊妹!”她们立刻晕倒了。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo pitaraṃ etadavoca: | Then Raṭṭhapāla said to his father: | 然后拉塔波罗对父亲说: |
| “sace, gahapati, bhojanaṃ dātabbaṃ, detha; | “If there is food to be given, householder, please give it. | “如果有什么食物要施舍,居士,请施舍吧。 |

| “Bhuñja, tāta raṭṭhapāla, niṭṭhitaṃ bhattan”ti. | “Eat, dear Raṭṭhapāla. The meal is ready.” | “吃吧,亲爱的拉塔波罗。斋饭已备妥。” |
| Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ paṇītena khādanīyena bhojanīyena sahatthā santappesi sampavāresi. | Then Raṭṭhapāla’s father served and satisfied Venerable Raṭṭhapāla with his own hands with a variety of delicious foods. | 然后拉塔波罗的父亲亲自以各种美味食物供养并满足了拉塔波罗尊者。 |

| “Evaṃ, devā”ti kho migavo rañño korabyassa paṭissutvā migacīraṃ sodhento addasa āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ aññatarasmiṃ rukkhamūle divāvihāraṃ nisinnaṃ. | “Yes, Your Majesty,” replied the gamekeeper. While tidying the deer range he saw Raṭṭhapāla sitting in meditation. | “是的,陛下。”猎场管理员回答道。在收拾鹿苑时,他看到拉塔波罗坐在那里禅修。 |
| Disvāna yena rājā korabyo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā rājānaṃ korabyaṃ etadavoca: | Seeing this, he went to the king, and said: | 看到这,他去见国王,说: |
| “suddhaṃ kho te, deva, migacīraṃ. | “The deer range is tidy, sire. | “陛下,鹿苑已收拾干净。 |

| “Tena hi, samma migava, alaṃ dānajja uyyānabhūmiyā. | “Well then, my good gamekeeper, that’s enough of the park for today. | “那么,我亲爱的猎场管理员,今天的公园就够了。 |

Then he mounted a fine carriage and, along with other fine carriages, set out in full royal pomp from Thullakoṭṭhita to see Raṭṭhapāla. | 然后俱卢维亚国王说:“把那里准备好的所有食物都分发出去。”他命人套上最好的马车。然后他乘上一辆豪华马车,并带着其他豪华马车,以隆重的王室排场从图拉哥提塔出发去见拉塔波罗。 |

| So iti paṭisañcikkhati: | They reflect: | 他们反思: |
| ‘ahaṃ khomhi etarahi jiṇṇo vuḍḍho mahallako addhagato vayoanuppatto. | ‘I’m now old, elderly, and senior. I’m advanced in years and have reached the final stage of life. | ‘我现在年老、年迈、年长。我年事已高,已达生命最后阶段。 |

| Maghadevasutta | About King Makhādeva | 关于摩诃提婆王 |
| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾这样听说: |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā mithilāyaṃ viharati maghadevaambavane. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Mithilā in the Makhādeva Mango Grove. | 有一次,佛陀住在婆伽国鳄鱼山,贝萨迦拉树林的鹿园里。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā aññatarasmiṃ padese sitaṃ pātvākāsi. | Then the Buddha smiled at a certain spot. | 然后佛陀在某个地方微笑了。 |
| Atha kho āyasmato ānandassa etadahosi: | Then Venerable Ānanda thought: | 于是,阿难尊者心想: |
| “ko nu kho hetu, ko paccayo bhagavato sitassa pātukammāya? | “What is the cause, what is the reason why the Buddha smiled? | “佛陀微笑的原因是什么? |
| Na akāraṇena tathāgatā sitaṃ pātukarontī”ti. | Realized Ones do not smile for no reason.” | 觉悟者不会无缘无故地微笑。” |
| Atha kho āyasmā ānando ekaṃsaṃ cīvaraṃ katvā yena bhagavā tenañjaliṃ paṇāmetvā bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then Ānanda got up from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, raised his joined palms toward the Buddha, and said: | 于是,阿难从座位上站起来,将长袍披在一肩,合掌向佛陀,说道: |
| “ko nu kho, bhante, hetu, ko paccayo bhagavato sitassa pātukammāya? | “What is the cause, what is the reason why the Buddha smiled? | “佛陀微笑的原因是什么? |
| Na akāraṇena tathāgatā sitaṃ pātukarontī”ti. | Realized Ones do not smile for no reason.” | 觉悟者不会无故微笑。” |
| “Bhūtapubbaṃ, ānanda, imissāyeva mithilāyaṃ rājā ahosi maghadevo nāma dhammiko dhammarājā dhamme ṭhito mahārājā; | “Once upon a time, Ānanda, right here in Mithilā there was a just and Dharmic king named Makhādeva, a great king who stood by his duty. | 阿难,很久以前,就在弥提拉,有一位名叫摩诃提婆的公正正直的国王,一位恪守职责的伟大国王。 |
| dhammaṃ carati brāhmaṇagahapatikesu negamesu ceva jānapadesu ca; | He justly treated brahmins and householders, and people of town and country. | 他公正地对待婆罗门和居士,以及城乡居民。 |
| uposathañca upavasati cātuddasiṃ pañcadasiṃ aṭṭhamiñca pakkhassa. | And he observed the sabbath on the fourteenth, fifteenth, and eighth of the fortnight. | 他遵守每半个月的十四日、十五日和八日布萨。 |
| Atha kho, ānanda, rājā maghadevo bahūnaṃ vassānaṃ bahūnaṃ vassasatānaṃ bahūnaṃ vassasahassānaṃ accayena kappakaṃ āmantesi: | Then, after many years, many hundred years, many thousand years had passed, King Makhādeva addressed his barber: | 然后,过了许多年,许多百年,许多千年之后,摩诃提婆王对他理发师说: |
| ‘yadā me, samma kappaka, passeyyāsi sirasmiṃ palitāni jātāni, atha me āroceyyāsī’ti. | ‘My dear barber, when you see grey hairs growing on my head, please tell me.’ | “亲爱的理发师,当你看到我头顶长出白发时,请告诉我。” |
| ‘Evaṃ, devā’ti kho, ānanda, kappako rañño maghadevassa paccassosi. | ‘Yes, Your Majesty,’ replied the barber. | “是的,陛下。”理发师回答。 |
| Addasā kho, ānanda, kappako bahūnaṃ vassānaṃ bahūnaṃ vassasatānaṃ bahūnaṃ vassasahassānaṃ accayena rañño maghadevassa sirasmiṃ palitāni jātāni. | When many thousands of years had passed, the barber saw grey hairs growing on the king’s head. | 又过了几千年,理发师看到国王头顶长出了白发。 |
| Disvāna rājānaṃ maghadevaṃ etadavoca: | He said to the king: | 他对国王说: |
| ‘pātubhūtā kho devassa devadūtā, dissanti sirasmiṃ palitāni jātānī’ti. | ‘The messengers of the gods have shown themselves to you. Grey hairs can be seen growing on your head.’ | “天神已向您示现。您的头顶已长出白发。” |
| ‘Tena hi, samma kappaka, tāni palitāni sādhukaṃ saṇḍāsena uddharitvā mama añjalismiṃ patiṭṭhāpehī’ti. | ‘Well then, my dear barber, carefully pull them out with tweezers and place them in my cupped hands.’ | “那么,亲爱的理发师,请用镊子小心地将它们拔下,放在我手中。” |
| ‘Evaṃ, devā’ti kho, ānanda, kappako rañño maghadevassa paṭissutvā tāni palitāni sādhukaṃ saṇḍāsena uddharitvā rañño maghadevassa añjalismiṃ patiṭṭhāpesi. | ‘Yes, Your Majesty,’ replied the barber, and he did as the king said. | “是的,陛下。”理发师回答,并照国王所说做了。 |
| Atha kho, ānanda, rājā maghadevo kappakassa gāmavaraṃ datvā jeṭṭhaputtaṃ kumāraṃ āmantāpetvā etadavoca: | The king gave the barber a prize village, then summoned the crown prince and said: | 国王将一个奖赏的村庄赐予理发师,然后召见太子说: |
| ‘pātubhūtā kho me, tāta kumāra, devadūtā; | ‘Dear prince, the messengers of the gods have shown themselves to me. | “亲爱的太子,天神的使者已向我示现。 |
| dissanti sirasmiṃ palitāni jātāni; | Grey hairs can be seen growing on my head. | 我的头顶已长出白发。 |
| bhuttā kho pana me mānusakā kāmā; | I have enjoyed human pleasures. | 我已享受了人间之乐。 |
| samayo dibbe kāme pariyesituṃ. | Now it is time to seek heavenly pleasures. | 现在是寻求天上之乐的时候了。 |
| Ehi tvaṃ, tāta kumāra, imaṃ rajjaṃ paṭipajja. | Come, dear prince, rule the realm. | 来吧,亲爱的太子,治理王国吧。 |
| Ahaṃ pana kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajissāmi. | I shall shave off my hair and beard, dress in ocher robes, and go forth from the lay life to homelessness. | 我将剃除须发,披上袈裟,从在家生活出家,过无家生活。 |
| Tena hi, tāta kumāra, yadā tvampi passeyyāsi sirasmiṃ palitāni jātāni, atha kappakassa gāmavaraṃ datvā jeṭṭhaputtaṃ kumāraṃ sādhukaṃ rajje samanusāsitvā kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajeyyāsi. | For dear prince, you too will one day see grey hairs growing on your head. When this happens, after giving a prize village to the barber and carefully instructing the crown prince in kingship, you should shave off your hair and beard, dress in ocher robes, and go forth from the lay life to homelessness. | 因为亲爱的太子,你有一天也会看到自己头顶长出白发。当这种情况发生时,在将一个奖赏的村庄赐予理发师并仔细指导太子治国后,你应该剃除须发,披上袈裟,从在家生活出家,过无家生活。 |
| Yena me idaṃ kalyāṇaṃ vattaṃ nihitaṃ anuppavatteyyāsi, mā kho me tvaṃ antimapuriso ahosi. | Keep up this good practice that I have founded. Do not be my final man. | 保持我所创立的这种良好修行。不要成为我最后一人。 |
| Yasmiṃ kho, tāta kumāra, purisayuge vattamāne evarūpassa kalyāṇassa vattassa samucchedo hoti so tesaṃ antimapuriso hoti. | Whatever generation is current when such good practice is broken, he is their final man. | 当这种良好修行被打破时,无论哪个世代,他都是他们的最后一人。 |
| Taṃ tāhaṃ, tāta kumāra, evaṃ vadāmi— | Therefore I say to you: | 因此我对你说: |
| yena me idaṃ kalyāṇaṃ vattaṃ nihitaṃ anuppavatteyyāsi, mā kho me tvaṃ antimapuriso ahosī’ti. | “Keep up this good practice that I have founded. Do not be my final man.”’ | “保持我所创立的这种良好修行。不要成为我最后一人。”’ |
| Atha kho, ānanda, rājā maghadevo kappakassa gāmavaraṃ datvā jeṭṭhaputtaṃ kumāraṃ sādhukaṃ rajje samanusāsitvā imasmiṃyeva maghadevaambavane kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbaji. | And so, after giving a prize village to the barber and carefully instructing the crown prince in kingship, King Makhādeva shaved off his hair and beard, dressed in ocher robes, and went forth from the lay life to homelessness here in this mango grove. | 于是,摩诃提婆王在将一个奖赏的村庄赐予理发师并仔细指导太子治国后,在这里的芒果林中剃除了须发,披上袈裟,从在家生活出家,过无家生活。 |
| So mettāsahagatena cetasā ekaṃ disaṃ pharitvā vihāsi, tathā dutiyaṃ, tathā tatiyaṃ, tathā catutthaṃ; iti uddhamadho tiriyaṃ sabbadhi sabbattatāya sabbāvantaṃ lokaṃ mettāsahagatena cetasā vipulena mahaggatena appamāṇena averena abyābajjhena pharitvā vihāsi. | He meditated spreading a heart full of love to one direction, and to the second, and to the third, and to the fourth. In the same way above, below, across, everywhere, all around, he spread a heart full of love to the whole world—abundant, expansive, limitless, free of enmity and ill will. | 他以充满慈爱的心修习禅定,遍及一方,再及第二方,再及第三方,再及第四方。同样地,上方、下方、横向、遍及一切处、四面八方,他以充满慈爱的心遍及整个世界——广阔、广大、无边、无怨无恨。 |

| Rājā kho panānanda, maghadevo caturāsītivassasahassāni kumārakīḷitaṃ kīḷi, caturāsītivassasahassāni oparajjaṃ kāresi, caturāsītivassasahassāni rajjaṃ kāresi, caturāsītivassasahassāni imasmiṃyeva maghadevaambavane agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajito brahmacariyamacari. | For 84,000 years King Makhādeva played games as a child, for 84,000 years he acted as viceroy, for 84,000 years he ruled the realm, and for 84,000 years he led the spiritual life after going forth here in this mango grove. | 摩诃提婆王童年玩耍了84,000年,担任摄政王84,000年,治理王国84,000年,并在这里的芒果林中出家修行84,000年。 |
| So cattāro brahmavihāre bhāvetvā kāyassa bhedā paraṃ maraṇā brahmalokūpago ahosi. | Having developed these four Brahmā meditations, when his body broke up, after death, he was reborn in a good place, a Brahmā realm. | 他修习了这四种梵住禅定,当他身体瓦解,死后,他投生于善处,梵天界。 |
| Atha kho rañño, ānanda, maghadevassa putto bahūnaṃ vassānaṃ bahūnaṃ vassasatānaṃ bahūnaṃ vassasahassānaṃ accayena kappakaṃ āmantesi: | Then, after many years, many hundred years, many thousand years had passed, King Makhādeva’s son addressed his barber: | 然后,过了许多年,许多百年,许多千年之后,摩诃提婆王的儿子对他的理发师说: |
| ‘yadā me, samma kappaka, passeyyāsi sirasmiṃ palitāni jātāni, atha kho āroceyyāsī’ti. | ‘My dear barber, when you see grey hairs growing on my head, please tell me.’ | “亲爱的理发师,当你看到我头顶长出白发时,请告诉我。” |

And all unfolded as in the case of his father. | 一切都像他父亲那样展开。 |

| Te cattāro brahmavihāre bhāvetvā kāyassa bhedā paraṃ maraṇā brahmalokūpagā ahesuṃ. | And having developed the four Brahmā meditations, when their bodies broke up, after death, they were reborn in a good place, a Brahmā realm. | 他们修习了这四种梵住禅定,当他们身体瓦解,死后,他们投生于善处,梵天界。 |
| Nimi tesaṃ rājā pacchimako ahosi dhammiko dhammarājā dhamme ṭhito mahārājā; | Nimi was the last of those kings, a just and Dharmic king, a great king who stood by his duty. | 那最后一位国王是尼弥,他是一位公正正直的国王,一位恪守职责的伟大国王。 |
| dhammaṃ carati brāhmaṇagahapatikesu negamesu ceva jānapadesu ca; | He justly treated brahmins and householders, and people of town and country. | 他公正地对待婆罗门和居士,以及城乡居民。 |
| uposathañca upavasati cātuddasiṃ pañcadasiṃ aṭṭhamiñca pakkhassa. | And he observed the sabbath on the fourteenth, fifteenth, and eighth of the fortnight. | 他遵守每半个月的十四日、十五日和八日布萨。 |
| Bhūtapubbaṃ, ānanda, devānaṃ tāvatiṃsānaṃ sudhammāyaṃ sabhāyaṃ sannisinnānaṃ sannipatitānaṃ ayamantarākathā udapādi: | Once upon a time, Ānanda, while the gods of the Thirty-Three were sitting together in the Hall of Justice, this discussion came up among them: | 阿难,有一次,三十三天神在正法堂聚会时,他们之间发生了这样的讨论: |
| ‘lābhā vata, bho, videhānaṃ, suladdhaṃ vata, bho, videhānaṃ, | ‘The people of Videha are so fortunate, so very fortunate | “毗提诃人真幸运,非常幸运, |
| yesaṃ nimi rājā dhammiko dhammarājā dhamme ṭhito mahārājā; | to have Nimi as their king. He is a just and Dharmic king, a great king who stands by his duty. | 能有尼弥作为他们的国王。他是一位公正正直的国王,一位恪守职责的伟大国王。 |
| dhammaṃ carati brāhmaṇagahapatikesu negamesu ceva jānapadesu ca; | He justly treats brahmins and householders, and people of town and country. | 他公正地对待婆罗门和居士,以及城乡居民。 |
| uposathañca upavasati cātuddasiṃ pañcadasiṃ aṭṭhamiñca pakkhassā’ti. | And he observes the sabbath on the fourteenth, fifteenth, and eighth of the fortnight.’ | 他遵守每半个月的十四日、十五日和八日布萨。” |
| Atha kho, ānanda, sakko devānamindo deve tāvatiṃse āmantesi: | Then Sakka, lord of gods, addressed the gods of the Thirty-Three: | 然后,天主释迦对三十三天神说: |
| ‘iccheyyātha no tumhe, mārisā, nimiṃ rājānaṃ daṭṭhun’ti? | ‘Good sirs, would you like to see King Nimi?’ | “诸位善友,你们想见尼弥王吗?” |
| ‘Icchāma mayaṃ, mārisa, nimiṃ rājānaṃ daṭṭhun’ti. | ‘We would.’ | “我们想。” |
| Tena kho pana, ānanda, samayena nimi rājā tadahuposathe pannarase sīsaṃnhāto uposathiko uparipāsādavaragato nisinno hoti. | Now at that time it was the fifteenth day sabbath, and King Nimi had bathed his head and was sitting upstairs in the stilt longhouse to observe the sabbath. | 当时正值十五日布萨,尼弥王已洗过头,正坐在高脚长屋楼上持守布萨。 |
| Atha kho, ānanda, sakko devānamindo—seyyathāpi nāma balavā puriso samiñjitaṃ vā bāhaṃ pasāreyya, pasāritaṃ vā bāhaṃ samiñjeyya; evameva—devesu tāvatiṃsesu antarahito nimissa rañño pamukhe pāturahosi. | Then, as easily as a strong person would extend or contract their arm, Sakka vanished from the Thirty-Three gods and reappeared in front of King Nimi. | 然后,就像一个强壮的人伸缩手臂一样容易,释迦从三十三天神中消失,出现在尼弥王面前。 |
| Atha kho, ānanda, sakko devānamindo nimiṃ rājānaṃ etadavoca: | Then he said to the king: | 然后他对国王说: |
| ‘lābhā te, mahārāja, suladdhaṃ te, mahārāja. | ‘You’re fortunate, great king, so very fortunate. | “大王,你真幸运,非常幸运。 |
| Devā, mahārāja, tāvatiṃsā sudhammāyaṃ sabhāyaṃ kittayamānarūpā sannisinnā: “lābhā vata, bho, videhānaṃ, suladdhaṃ vata, bho, videhānaṃ, yesaṃ nimi rājā dhammiko dhammarājā dhamme ṭhito mahārājā; dhammaṃ carati brāhmaṇagahapatikesu negamesu ceva jānapadesu ca; uposathañca upavasati cātuddasiṃ pañcadasiṃ aṭṭhamiñca pakkhassā”ti. |
The gods of the Thirty-Three were sitting together in the Hall of Justice, where they spoke very highly of you. | 三十三天神在正法堂聚会时,对你赞不绝口。 |
| Devā te, mahārāja, tāvatiṃsā dassanakāmā. | They would like to see you. | 他们想见你。 |
| Tassa te ahaṃ, mahārāja, sahassayuttaṃ ājaññarathaṃ pahiṇissāmi; | I shall send a chariot harnessed with a thousand thoroughbreds for you, great king. | 大王,我将为你派去一辆由千匹纯种马驾驭的战车。 |
| abhiruheyyāsi, mahārāja, dibbaṃ yānaṃ avikampamāno’ti. | Mount the heavenly chariot, great king! Do not waver.’ | 大王,登上天车吧!不要犹豫。” |
| Adhivāsesi kho, ānanda, nimi rājā tuṇhībhāvena. | King Nimi consented in silence. | 尼弥王默然允诺。 |
| Atha kho, ānanda, sakko devānamindo nimissa rañño adhivāsanaṃ viditvā—seyyathāpi nāma balavā puriso samiñjitaṃ vā bāhaṃ pasāreyya, pasāritaṃ vā bāhaṃ samiñjeyya; evameva—nimissa rañño pamukhe antarahito devesu tāvatiṃsesu pāturahosi. | Then, knowing that the king had accepted, as easily as a strong person would extend or contract their arm, Sakka vanished from King Nimi and reappeared among the Thirty-Three gods. | 然后,释迦知道国王已接受,就像一个强壮的人伸缩手臂一样容易,他从尼弥王面前消失,重新出现在三十三天神中。 |
| Atha kho, ānanda, sakko devānamindo mātaliṃ saṅgāhakaṃ āmantesi: | Then Sakka, lord of gods, addressed his charioteer Mātali: | 然后天主释迦对他的御者马塔利说: |
| ‘ehi tvaṃ, samma mātali, sahassayuttaṃ ājaññarathaṃ yojetvā nimiṃ rājānaṃ upasaṅkamitvā evaṃ vadehi— | ‘Come, dear Mātali, harness the chariot with a thousand thoroughbreds. Then go to King Nimi and say: | “来,亲爱的马塔利,用千匹纯种马驾驭战车。然后去见尼弥王,对他说: |

| ‘Evaṃ, bhaddantavā’ti kho, ānanda, mātali saṅgāhako sakkassa devānamindassa paṭissutvā sahassayuttaṃ ājaññarathaṃ yojetvā nimiṃ rājānaṃ upasaṅkamitvā etadavoca: | ‘Yes, lord,’ replied Mātali. He did as Sakka asked, and said to the king: | “遵命,世尊。”马塔利回答。他照释迦所说做了,然后对国王说: |
| ‘ayaṃ te, mahārāja, sahassayutto ājaññaratho sakkena devānamindena pesito; | ‘Great king, this chariot has been sent for you by Sakka, lord of gods. | “大王,这辆战车是天主释迦派给您的。 |

| ‘Ubhayeneva maṃ, mātali, nehī’ti. | ‘Take me both ways, Mātali.’ | “带我两条路都走走吧,马塔利。” |
| Sampavesesi kho, ānanda, mātali, saṅgāhako nimiṃ rājānaṃ sudhammaṃ sabhaṃ. | Mātali brought King Nimi to the Hall of Justice. | 马塔利带着尼弥王来到了正法堂。 |
| Addasā kho, ānanda, sakko devānamindo nimiṃ rājānaṃ dūratova āgacchantaṃ. | Sakka saw King Nimi coming off in the distance, | 释迦远远地看到尼弥王走来, |

| Atha kho, ānanda, sakko devānamindo mātaliṃ saṅgāhakaṃ āmantesi: | Then Sakka, lord of gods, addressed his charioteer Mātali: | 然后天主释迦对他的御者马塔利说: |

| Atha kho, ānanda, nimi rājā bahūnaṃ vassānaṃ bahūnaṃ vassasatānaṃ bahūnaṃ vassasahassānaṃ accayena kappakaṃ āmantesi: | Then, after many years, many hundred years, many thousand years had passed, King Nimi addressed his barber: | 然后,过了许多年,许多百年,许多千年之后,尼弥王对他的理发师说: |
| ‘yadā me, samma kappaka, passeyyāsi sirasmiṃ palitāni jātāni, atha me āroceyyāsī’ti. | ‘My dear barber, when you see grey hairs growing on my head, please tell me.’ | “亲爱的理发师,当你看到我头顶长出白发时,请告诉我。” |

| Nimissa kho panānanda, rañño kaḷārajanako nāma putto ahosi. | But King Nimi had a son named Kaḷārajanaka. | 但尼弥王有一个儿子名叫卡拉拉迦那卡。 |
| Na so agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbaji. | He didn’t go forth from the lay life to homelessness. | 他没有从在家生活出家,过无家生活。 |
| So taṃ kalyāṇaṃ vattaṃ samucchindi. | He broke that good practice. | 他打破了那种良好修行。 |
| So tesaṃ antimapuriso ahosi. | He was their final man. | 他是他们的最后一人。 |
| Siyā kho pana te, ānanda, evamassa: | Ānanda, you might think: | 阿难,你可能会想: |
| ‘añño nūna tena samayena rājā maghadevo ahosi, yena taṃ kalyāṇaṃ vattaṃ nihitan’ti. | ‘Surely King Makhādeva, by whom that good practice was founded, must have been someone else at that time?’ | “那位创立了那种良好修行的摩诃提婆王,当时一定是别人吧?” |
| Na kho panetaṃ, ānanda, evaṃ daṭṭhabbaṃ. | But you should not see it like this. | 但你不应该这样看。 |
| Ahaṃ tena samayena rājā maghadevo ahosiṃ. | I myself was King Makhādeva at that time. | 那时我就是摩诃提婆王。 |
| Ahaṃ taṃ kalyāṇaṃ vattaṃ nihiniṃ, mayā taṃ kalyāṇaṃ vattaṃ nihitaṃ; | I was the one who founded that good practice, | 我就是创立那种良好修行的人, |
| pacchimā janatā anuppavattesi. | which was kept up by those who came after. | 这种修行被后人继承。 |
| Taṃ kho panānanda, kalyāṇaṃ vattaṃ na nibbidāya na virāgāya na nirodhāya na upasamāya na abhiññāya na sambodhāya na nibbānāya saṃvattati, yāvadeva brahmalokūpapattiyā. | But that good practice doesn’t lead to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and nirvana. It only leads as far as rebirth in the Brahmā realm. | 但那种良好修行并不能导致厌离、离欲、止息、寂静、洞察、觉醒和涅槃。它只能导致投生梵天界。 |
| Idaṃ kho panānanda, etarahi mayā kalyāṇaṃ vattaṃ nihitaṃ ekantanibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṃvattati. | But now I have founded a good practice that does lead to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and nirvana. | 但现在我创立了一种良好修行,它能导致厌离、离欲、止息、寂静、洞察、觉醒和涅槃。 |
| Katamañcānanda, etarahi mayā kalyāṇaṃ vattaṃ nihitaṃ ekantanibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṃvattati? | And what is that good practice? | 那是什么良好修行呢? |
| Ayameva ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo, seyyathidaṃ— | It is simply this noble eightfold path, that is: | 它就是这八圣道分,即: |
| sammādiṭṭhi, sammāsaṅkappo, sammāvācā, sammākammanto, sammāājīvo, sammāvāyāmo, sammāsati, sammāsamādhi. | right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right remembering, and right undistractible-lucidity. | 正见、正思惟、正语、正业、正命、正精进、正念和正定。 |
| Idaṃ kho, ānanda, etarahi mayā kalyāṇaṃ vattaṃ nihitaṃ ekantanibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṃvattati. | This is the good practice I have now founded that leads to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and nirvana. | 这就是我现在创立的良好修行,它能导致厌离、离欲、止息、寂静、洞察、觉醒和涅槃。 |
| Taṃ vo ahaṃ, ānanda, evaṃ vadāmi: | Ānanda, I say to you: | 阿难,我对你说: |
| ‘yena me idaṃ kalyāṇaṃ vattaṃ nihitaṃ anuppavatteyyātha, mā kho me tumhe antimapurisā ahuvattha’. | ‘You all should keep up this good practice that I have founded. Do not be my final men.’ | “你们都应该保持我所创立的这种良好修行。不要成为我最后的人。” |
| Yasmiṃ kho, ānanda, purisayuge vattamāne evarūpassa kalyāṇassa vattassa samucchedo hoti so tesaṃ antimapuriso hoti. | Whatever generation is current when such good practice is broken, he is their final man. | 当这种良好修行被打破时,无论哪个世代,他都是他们的最后一人。 |
| Taṃ vo ahaṃ, ānanda, evaṃ vadāmi: | Ānanda, I say to you: | 阿难,我对你说: |
| ‘yena me idaṃ kalyāṇaṃ vattaṃ nihitaṃ anuppavatteyyātha, mā kho me tumhe antimapurisā ahuvatthā’”ti. | ‘You all should keep up this good practice that I have founded. Do not be my final men.’” | “你们都应该保持我所创立的这种良好修行。不要成为我最后的人。” |
| Idamavoca bhagavā. | That is what the Buddha said. | 佛陀如是说。 |
| Attamano āyasmā ānando bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinandīti. | Satisfied, Venerable Ānanda was happy with what the Buddha said. | 阿难尊者心满意足,对佛陀所说的话感到欢喜。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 所得。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ āyasmā mahākaccāno madhurāyaṃ viharati gundāvane. | At one time Venerable Mahākaccāna was staying near Madhurā, in Gunda’s Grove. | 一時,尊者摩訶迦旃延住於馬度拉附近,在貢達的林園中。 |
| Assosi kho rājā mādhuro avantiputto: | King Avantiputta of Madhurā heard: | 馬度拉的阿槃提子王聽聞: |
| “samaṇo khalu, bho, kaccāno madhurāyaṃ viharati gundāvane. | “It seems the ascetic Kaccāna is staying near Madhurā, in Gunda’s Grove. | “看來,沙門迦旃延正住於馬度拉附近,在貢達的林園中。 |
| Taṃ kho pana bhavantaṃ kaccānaṃ evaṃ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato: | He has this good reputation: | 他有這樣的好名聲: |
| ‘paṇḍito viyatto medhāvī bahussuto cittakathī kalyāṇapaṭibhāno vuddho ceva arahā ca’. | ‘He is astute, competent, clever, learned, a brilliant speaker, eloquent, mature, a perfected one.’ | ‘他敏銳,能幹,聰明,博學,善於言談,口才流暢,成熟,是個圓滿者。’ |
| Sādhu kho pana tathārūpānaṃ arahataṃ dassanaṃ hotī”ti. | It’s good to see such perfected ones.” | 見到這樣圓滿的人是很好的。” |
| Atha kho rājā mādhuro avantiputto bhadrāni bhadrāni yānāni yojāpetvā bhadraṃ yānaṃ abhiruhitvā bhadrehi bhadrehi yānehi madhurāya niyyāsi mahaccarājānubhāvena āyasmantaṃ mahākaccānaṃ dassanāya. | And then King Avantiputta said: “Give away all the different foods that have been prepared there.” He had the finest carriages harnessed. Then he mounted a fine carriage and, along with other fine carriages, set out in full royal pomp from Madhurā to see Mahākaccāna. | 於是阿槃提子王說:“把那裡準備好的各種食物都施捨出去。”他套上了最好的馬車。然後他坐上一輛好馬車,與其他好馬車一同,以完全的王家排場從馬度拉出發,去見摩訶迦旃延。 |
| Yāvatikā yānassa bhūmi yānena gantvā yānā paccorohitvā pattikova yenāyasmā mahākaccāno tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā mahākaccānena saddhiṃ sammodi. Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho rājā mādhuro avantiputto āyasmantaṃ mahākaccānaṃ etadavoca: | He went by carriage as far as the terrain allowed, then descended and approached Mahākaccāna on foot. They exchanged greetings, and when the greetings and polite conversation were over, the king sat down to one side and said to Mahākaccāna: | 他乘馬車行進到地形允許的最遠處,然後下車,步行接近摩訶迦旃延。他們互相問候,問候和客氣的談話結束後,國王坐到一邊,對摩訶迦旃延說: |
| “brāhmaṇā, bho kaccāna, evamāhaṃsu: | “Master Kaccāna, the brahmins say: | “迦旃延大師,婆羅門們說: |
| ‘brāhmaṇova seṭṭho vaṇṇo, hīno añño vaṇṇo; | ‘Only brahmins are the highest caste; other castes are inferior. | ‘只有婆羅門是最高種姓;其他種姓都較低。 |

| Yā hissa, bho kaccāna, pubbe ‘suddo’ti samaññā sāssa antarahitā; samaṇotveva saṅkhyaṃ gacchatī”ti. | Because they’ve lost their former status as a brahmin, merchant, or worker, and are just reckoned as an ascetic.” | 因為他們已經失去了他原來的婆羅門、商人或工人身份,只被視為一個沙門。” |
| “Taṃ kiṃ maññasi, mahārāja, | “What do you think, great king? | “大王,你認為怎麼樣? |
| yadi evaṃ sante, ime cattāro vaṇṇā samasamā honti no vā? | If this is so, are the four castes equal or not? | 如果這樣,四個種姓是平等的還是不平等的? |
| Kathaṃ vā te ettha hotī”ti? | Or how do you see this?” | 或者你怎麼看這個問題? |
| “Addhā kho, bho kaccāna, evaṃ sante, ime cattāro vaṇṇā samasamā honti. | “Certainly, Master Kaccāna, in this case these four castes are equal. | “確實,迦旃延大師,在這種情況下,這四個種姓是平等的。 |
| Nesaṃ ettha kiñci nānākaraṇaṃ samanupassāmī”ti. | I can’t see any difference between them.” | 我看不到他們之間有任何區別。” |
| “Imināpi kho etaṃ, mahārāja, pariyāyena veditabbaṃ yathā ghosoyeveso lokasmiṃ: | “This is another way to understand that this is just propaganda: | 這也是一種理解,這只不過是宣傳: |
| ‘brāhmaṇova seṭṭho vaṇṇo, hīno añño vaṇṇo; | ‘Only brahmins are the highest caste; other castes are inferior. | “只有婆羅門是最高種姓;其他種姓都較低。 |
| brāhmaṇova sukko vaṇṇo, kaṇho añño vaṇṇo; | Only brahmins are the light caste; other castes are dark. | 只有婆羅門是光明種姓;其他種姓是黑暗。 |
| brāhmaṇāva sujjhanti, no abrāhmaṇā; | Only brahmins are purified, not others. | 只有婆羅門是潔淨的,其他人不是。 |
| brāhmaṇāva brahmuno puttā orasā mukhato jātā brahmajā brahmanimmitā brahmadāyādā’”ti. | Only brahmins are Brahmā’s rightful sons, born of his mouth, born of Brahmā, created by Brahmā, heirs of Brahmā.’” | 只有婆羅門是梵天的合法兒子,從他的口中出生,從梵天出生,由梵天創造,梵天的繼承者。” |
| Evaṃ vutte, rājā mādhuro avantiputto āyasmantaṃ mahākaccānaṃ etadavoca: | When he had spoken, King Avantiputta of Madhurā said to Mahākaccāna: | 他說完之後,馬度拉的阿槃提子王對摩訶迦旃延說: |
| “abhikkantaṃ, bho kaccāna, abhikkantaṃ, bho kaccāna. | “Excellent, Master Kaccāna! Excellent! | “太好了,迦旃延大師!太好了! |
| Seyyathāpi, bho kaccāna, nikkujjitaṃ vā ukkujjeyya, paṭicchannaṃ vā vivareyya, mūḷhassa vā maggaṃ ācikkheyya, andhakāre vā telapajjotaṃ dhāreyya ‘cakkhumanto rūpāni dakkhantī’ti; evamevaṃ bhotā kaccānena anekapariyāyena dhammo pakāsito. | As if he were righting the overturned, or revealing the hidden, or pointing out the path to the lost, or lighting a lamp in the dark so people with good eyes can see what’s there, Master Kaccāna has made The Dharma clear in many ways. | 迦旃延大師以多種方式闡明了教義,就像扶正了顛倒的,揭示了隱藏的,指出了迷失的道路,或者在黑暗中點亮了一盞燈,讓視力好的人能看清事物一樣。 |
| Esāhaṃ bhavantaṃ kaccānaṃ saraṇaṃ gacchāmi dhammañca bhikkhusaṃghañca. | I go for refuge to Master Kaccāna, to The Dharma, and to the monk Saṅgha. | 我歸依迦旃延大師,歸依教義,歸依僧伽。 |
| Upāsakaṃ maṃ bhavaṃ kaccāno dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupetaṃ saraṇaṃ gatan”ti. | From this day forth, may Master Kaccāna remember me as a lay follower who has gone for refuge for life.” | 從今天起,願迦旃延大師記住我是一個終身歸依的在家信徒。” |
| “Mā kho maṃ tvaṃ, mahārāja, saraṇaṃ agamāsi. | “Great king, don’t go for refuge to me. | “大王,不要歸依我。 |
| Tameva tvaṃ bhagavantaṃ saraṇaṃ gaccha yamahaṃ saraṇaṃ gato”ti. | You should go for refuge to that same Blessed One to whom I have gone for refuge.” | 你應該歸依我所歸依的那位世尊。” |
| “Kahaṃ pana, bho kaccāna, etarahi so bhagavā viharati arahaṃ sammāsambuddho”ti? | “But where is that Blessed One at present, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha?” | “但那位世尊,那位圓滿者,那位完全覺醒的佛陀現在在哪裡?” |
| “Parinibbuto kho, mahārāja, etarahi so bhagavā arahaṃ sammāsambuddho”ti. | “Great king, the Buddha has already become fully nirvana'd.” | “大王,佛陀已經完全涅槃了。” |
| “Sacepi mayaṃ, bho kaccāna, suṇeyyāma taṃ bhagavantaṃ dasasu yojanesu, dasapi mayaṃ yojanāni gaccheyyāma taṃ bhagavantaṃ dassanāya arahantaṃ sammāsambuddhaṃ. Sacepi mayaṃ, bho kaccāna, suṇeyyāma taṃ bhagavantaṃ vīsatiyā yojanesu, tiṃsāya yojanesu, cattārīsāya yojanesu, paññāsāya yojanesu, paññāsampi mayaṃ yojanāni gaccheyyāma taṃ bhagavantaṃ dassanāya arahantaṃ sammāsambuddhaṃ.

“Master Kaccāna, if I heard that the Buddha was within ten leagues, or twenty, or even up to a hundred leagues away, I’d go a hundred leagues to see him. | “迦旃延大師,如果我聽說佛陀在十由旬,或者二十,甚至一百由旬之外,我會走一百由旬去見他。 |
| Yato ca, bho kaccāna, parinibbuto so bhagavā, parinibbutampi mayaṃ bhagavantaṃ saraṇaṃ gacchāma dhammañca bhikkhusaṃghañca. | But since the Buddha has become fully nirvana'd, I go for refuge to that fully nirvana'd Buddha, to The Dharma, and to the Saṅgha. | 但既然佛陀已經完全涅槃,我歸依那位完全涅槃的佛陀,歸依教義,歸依僧伽。 |
| Upāsakaṃ maṃ bhavaṃ kaccāno dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupetaṃ saraṇaṃ gatan”ti. | From this day forth, may Master Kaccāna remember me as a lay follower who has gone for refuge for life.” | 從今天起,願迦旃延大師記住我是一個終身歸依的在家信徒。” |

| Bodhirājakumārasutta | With Prince Bodhi | 與菩提王子 |
| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我聞。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā bhaggesu viharati susumāragire bhesakaḷāvane migadāye. | At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Bhaggas on Crocodile Hill, in the deer park at Bhesakaḷā’s Wood. | 一時,佛陀住在婆伽國的鱷魚山上,在貝薩卡拉樹林的鹿園中。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena bodhissa rājakumārassa kokanado nāma pāsādo acirakārito hoti anajjhāvuṭṭho samaṇena vā brāhmaṇena vā kenaci vā manussabhūtena. | Now at that time a new stilt longhouse named Pink Lotus had recently been constructed for Prince Bodhi. It had not yet been occupied by an ascetic or brahmin or any person at all. | 當時,新近為菩提王子建造了一座名為“粉紅蓮花”的高腳長屋。它尚未被任何沙門、婆羅門或任何人居住過。 |
| Atha kho bodhi rājakumāro sañjikāputtaṃ māṇavaṃ āmantesi: | Then Prince Bodhi addressed the brahmin student Sañjikāputta: | 於是菩提王子對婆羅門學生山吉卡普塔說: |
| “ehi tvaṃ, samma sañjikāputta, yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā mama vacanena bhagavato pāde sirasā vanda, appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ puccha: ‘bodhi, bhante, rājakumāro bhagavato pāde sirasā vandati, appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ pucchatī’ti. |
“Please, dear Sañjikāputta, go to the Buddha, and in my name bow with your head to his feet. Ask him if he is healthy and well, nimble, strong, and living comfortably. | “親愛的山吉卡普塔,請你去見佛陀,代我向他頂禮。問他是否健康安好,行動敏捷,身體強壯,生活舒適。 |
| Evañca vadehi: | And then ask him whether he | 然後問他是否 |
| ‘adhivāsetu kira, bhante, bhagavā bodhissa rājakumārassa svātanāya bhattaṃ saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṃghenā’”ti. | might accept tomorrow’s meal from me together with the monk Saṅgha.” | 願與僧伽一同接受我明日的供養。” |
| “Evaṃ, bho”ti kho sañjikāputto māṇavo bodhissa rājakumārassa paṭissutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho sañjikāputto māṇavo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “bodhi kho rājakumāro bhoto gotamassa pāde sirasā vandati, appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ pucchati. Evañca vadeti: ‘adhivāsetu kira bhavaṃ gotamo bodhissa rājakumārassa svātanāya bhattaṃ saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṃghenā’”ti. |
“Yes, sir,” Sañjikāputta replied. He did as Prince Bodhi asked, and | “是的,尊者,”山吉卡普塔回答。他照菩提王子所吩咐的做了, |
| Adhivāsesi bhagavā tuṇhībhāvena. | the Buddha consented in silence. | 佛陀默許了。 |
| Atha kho sañjikāputto māṇavo bhagavato adhivāsanaṃ viditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā yena bodhi rājakumāro tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bodhiṃ rājakumāraṃ etadavoca: | Then, knowing that the Buddha had accepted, Sañjikāputta got up from his seat, went to Prince Bodhi, and said: | 於是,山吉卡普塔知道佛陀已經接受了,便從座位上起身,來到菩提王子面前,說: |
| “avocumha bhoto vacanena taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ: ‘bodhi kho rājakumāro bhoto gotamassa pāde sirasā vandati, appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ pucchati. Evañca vadeti— adhivāsetu kira bhavaṃ gotamo bodhissa rājakumārassa svātanāya bhattaṃ saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṅghenā’ti. |
“I gave the ascetic Gotama your message, | “我把你的口信轉達給了喬達摩沙門, |
| Adhivuṭṭhañca pana samaṇena gotamenā”ti. | and he accepted.” | 他接受了。” |
| Atha kho bodhi rājakumāro tassā rattiyā accayena sake nivesane paṇītaṃ khādanīyaṃ bhojanīyaṃ paṭiyādāpetvā, kokanadañca pāsādaṃ odātehi dussehi santharāpetvā yāva pacchimasopānakaḷevarā, sañjikāputtaṃ māṇavaṃ āmantesi: | And when the night had passed Prince Bodhi had a variety of delicious foods prepared in his own home. He also had the Pink Lotus longhouse spread with white cloth down to the last step of the staircase. Then he said to Sañjikāputta: | 夜過天明,菩提王子在他的家中準備了各種美味的食物。他還在粉紅蓮花長屋的樓梯直到最後一級台階都鋪上了白布。然後他對山吉卡普塔說: |
| “ehi tvaṃ, samma sañjikāputta, yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavato kālaṃ ārocehi: | “Please, dear Sañjikāputta, go to the Buddha, and announce the time, saying: | “親愛的山吉卡普塔,請你去見佛陀,並告知時間,說: |
| ‘kālo, bhante, niṭṭhitaṃ bhattan’”ti. | ‘Sir, it’s time. The meal is ready.’” | ‘尊者,時候到了。飯菜已經準備好了。’” |
| “Evaṃ, bho”ti kho sañjikāputto māṇavo bodhissa rājakumārassa paṭissutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavato kālaṃ ārocesi: “kālo, bho gotama, niṭṭhitaṃ bhattan”ti. |
“Yes, sir,” Sañjikāputta replied, and he did as he was asked. | “是的,尊者,”山吉卡普塔回答,他照吩咐做了。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena bodhissa rājakumārassa nivesanaṃ tenupasaṅkami. | Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went to Prince Bodhi’s home. | 然後佛陀早上穿好衣服,拿起缽和袈裟,前往菩提王子的家中。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena bodhi rājakumāro bahidvārakoṭṭhake ṭhito hoti bhagavantaṃ āgamayamāno. | Now at that time Prince Bodhi was standing outside the gates waiting for the Buddha. | 當時菩提王子正站在門外等候佛陀。 |
| Addasā kho bodhi rājakumāro bhagavantaṃ dūratova āgacchantaṃ. | Seeing the Buddha coming off in the distance, | 遙見佛陀走來, |
| Disvāna paccuggantvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā purakkhatvā yena kokanado pāsādo tenupasaṅkami. | he went out to greet him. After bowing and inviting the Buddha to go first, he approached the Pink Lotus longhouse. | 他出去迎接。頂禮並邀請佛陀先行後,他走向粉紅蓮花長屋。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā pacchimaṃ sopānakaḷevaraṃ nissāya aṭṭhāsi. | But the Buddha stopped by the last step of the staircase. | 但佛陀在樓梯的最後一級台階處停了下來。 |
| Atha kho bodhi rājakumāro bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then Prince Bodhi said to him: | 於是菩提王子對他說: |
| “abhiruhatu, bhante, bhagavā dussāni, abhiruhatu sugato dussāni; | “Sir, let the Blessed One ascend on the cloth! Let the Holy One ascend on the cloth! | “尊者,請世尊踏著布上樓吧!請聖者踏著布上樓吧! |
| yaṃ mama assa dīgharattaṃ hitāya sukhāyā”ti. | It will be for my lasting welfare and happiness.” | 這將會給我帶來長久的福利和幸福。” |
| Evaṃ vutte, bhagavā tuṇhī ahosi. | But when he said this, the Buddha kept silent. | 但他這麼說時,佛陀保持沉默。 |
| Dutiyampi kho … pe … | For a second time … | 第二次…… |
| tatiyampi kho bodhi rājakumāro bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | and a third time, Prince Bodhi said to him: | 第三次,菩提王子對他說: |
| “abhiruhatu, bhante, bhagavā dussāni, abhiruhatu sugato dussāni; | “Sir, let the Blessed One ascend on the cloth! Let the Holy One ascend on the cloth! | “尊者,請世尊踏著布上樓吧!請聖者踏著布上樓吧! |
| yaṃ mama assa dīgharattaṃ hitāya sukhāyā”ti. | It will be for my lasting welfare and happiness.” | 這將會給我帶來長久的福利和幸福。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṃ ānandaṃ apalokesi. | Then the Buddha glanced at Venerable Ānanda. | 於是佛陀看了一眼尊者阿難。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā ānando bodhiṃ rājakumāraṃ etadavoca: | So Ānanda said to Prince Bodhi: | 阿難對菩提王子說: |
| “saṃharatu, rājakumāra, dussāni; | “Fold up the cloth, Prince. | “王子,把布收起來吧。 |
| na bhagavā celapaṭikaṃ akkamissati. | The Buddha will not step upon white cloth. | 佛陀不會踏在白布上。 |
| Pacchimaṃ janataṃ tathāgato anukampatī”ti. | The Realized One has compassion for future generations.” | 如來悲憫後代。” |
| Atha kho bodhi rājakumāro dussāni saṃharāpetvā uparikokanadapāsāde āsanāni paññapesi. | So Prince Bodhi had the cloth folded up and the seats spread out upstairs in the longhouse. | 於是菩提王子命人將布收起,並在長屋樓上鋪設好座位。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā kokanadaṃ pāsādaṃ abhiruhitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṃghena. | Then the Buddha ascended the longhouse and sat on the seats spread out together with the Saṅgha of monks. | 然後佛陀登上長屋,與眾比丘僧團一同坐在鋪設好的座位上。 |
| Atha kho bodhi rājakumāro buddhappamukhaṃ bhikkhusaṃghaṃ paṇītena khādanīyena bhojanīyena sahatthā santappesi sampavāresi. | Then Prince Bodhi served and satisfied the monk Saṅgha headed by the Buddha with his own hands with a variety of delicious foods. | 於是菩提王子親手以各種美味食物供養並滿足了以佛陀為首的比丘僧團。 |
+(buddha used to think pleasure was gained through pain, not pleasure)
| Atha kho bodhi rājakumāro bhagavantaṃ bhuttāviṃ onītapattapāṇiṃ aññataraṃ nīcaṃ āsanaṃ gahetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. | When the Buddha had eaten and washed his hand and bowl, Prince Bodhi took a low seat, sat to one side, | 佛陀飯畢,洗淨手和缽後,菩提王子坐到一旁, |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho bodhi rājakumāro bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | and said to him: | 對他說: |
| “mayhaṃ kho, bhante, evaṃ hoti: | “Sir, this is what I think: | “尊者,我這樣認為: |
+(buddha’s story of ordaining)
| ‘na kho sukhena sukhaṃ adhigantabbaṃ, dukkhena kho sukhaṃ adhigantabban’”ti. | ‘Pleasure is not gained through pleasure; pleasure is gained through pain.’” | ‘快樂不是通過快樂獲得的;快樂是通過痛苦獲得的。’” |
| “Mayhampi kho, rājakumāra, pubbeva sambodhā anabhisambuddhassa bodhisattasseva sato etadahosi: | “Prince, before my awakening—when I was still unawakened but intent on awakening—I too thought: | “王子,在我覺醒之前——當我尚未覺醒但立志覺醒時——我也曾想: |
| ‘na kho sukhena sukhaṃ adhigantabbaṃ, dukkhena kho sukhaṃ adhigantabban’ti. | ‘Pleasure is not gained through pleasure; pleasure is gained through pain.’ | ‘快樂不是通過快樂獲得的;快樂是通過痛苦獲得的。’ |
| So kho ahaṃ, rājakumāra, aparena samayena daharova samāno susukāḷakeso bhadrena yobbanena samannāgato paṭhamena vayasā akāmakānaṃ mātāpitūnaṃ assumukhānaṃ rudantānaṃ kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajiṃ. | Some time later, while still black-haired, blessed with youth, in the prime of life—though my mother and father wished otherwise, weeping with tearful faces—I shaved off my hair and beard, dressed in ocher robes, and went forth from the lay life to homelessness. | 後來,我依然頭髮烏黑,年輕力壯,在生命的黃金時期——儘管我的父母不願,哭泣著淚流滿面——我剃除了頭髮和鬍鬚,穿上袈裟,從在家生活出家,過著無家生活。 |
| So evaṃ pabbajito samāno kiṃkusalagavesī anuttaraṃ santivarapadaṃ pariyesamāno yena āḷāro kālāmo tenupasaṅkamiṃ; upasaṅkamitvā āḷāraṃ kālāmaṃ etadavocaṃ: | Once I had gone forth I set out to discover what is skillful, seeking the supreme state of sublime peace. I approached Āḷāra Kālāma and said to him: | 出家後,我開始探求什麼是善巧的,尋求無上寂靜的境界。我走近阿羅羅·迦羅摩,對他說: |
| ‘icchāmahaṃ, āvuso kālāma, imasmiṃ dhammavinaye brahmacariyaṃ caritun’ti. | ‘Reverend Kālāma, I wish to live the spiritual life in this Dharma and training.’ | ‘迦羅摩尊者,我希望在這教法與訓練中過梵行生活。’ |
| Evaṃ vutte, rājakumāra, āḷāro kālāmo maṃ etadavoca: | Āḷāra Kālāma replied: | 阿羅羅·迦羅摩回答說: |
| ‘viharatāyasmā, | ‘Stay, venerable. | ‘請留下來,尊者。 |
| tādiso ayaṃ dhammo yattha viññū puriso nacirasseva sakaṃ ācariyakaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja vihareyyā’ti. | This Dharma is such that a sensible person can soon realize their own teacher’s doctrine with their own insight and live having achieved it.’ | 這教法是這樣的,一個明智的人很快就能以自己的洞察力證悟其老師的教義,並親身實踐。’ |
| So kho ahaṃ, rājakumāra, nacirasseva khippameva taṃ dhammaṃ pariyāpuṇiṃ. | I quickly memorized that Dharma. | 我很快就記住了那教法。 |
| So kho ahaṃ, rājakumāra, tāvatakeneva oṭṭhapahatamattena lapitalāpanamattena ñāṇavādañca vadāmi, theravādañca jānāmi passāmīti ca paṭijānāmi, ahañceva aññe ca. | So far as lip-recital and oral recitation were concerned, I spoke with knowledge and the authority of the elders. I claimed to know and see, and so did others. | 就背誦和口頭複述而言,我以知識和長老的權威說話。我聲稱自己知道並看到,其他人也這樣說。 |
| Tassa mayhaṃ, rājakumāra, etadahosi: | Then it occurred to me: | 然後我想到: |
| ‘na kho āḷāro kālāmo imaṃ dhammaṃ kevalaṃ saddhāmattakena sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharāmīti pavedeti; | ‘It is not solely by mere justifiable-trust that Āḷāra Kālāma declares: “I realize this Dharma with my own insight, and live having achieved it.” | ‘阿羅羅·迦羅摩聲稱“我以自己的洞察力證悟這教法,並親身實踐”,並非僅憑信仰。 |
+(learned samadhi of nothingness from Āḷāra Kālāma)
| addhā āḷāro kālāmo imaṃ dhammaṃ jānaṃ passaṃ viharatī’ti. | Surely he meditates knowing and seeing this Dharma.’ | 他必定是知見這教法而修習禪定。’ |
| Atha khvāhaṃ, rājakumāra, yena āḷāro kālāmo tenupasaṅkamiṃ; upasaṅkamitvā āḷāraṃ kālāmaṃ etadavocaṃ: | So I approached Āḷāra Kālāma and said to him: | 於是我走近阿羅羅·迦羅摩,對他說: |
| ‘kittāvatā no, āvuso kālāma, imaṃ dhammaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharāmīti pavedesī’ti? | ‘Reverend Kālāma, to what extent do you say you’ve realized this Dharma with your own insight?’ | ‘迦羅摩尊者,你說你以自己的洞察力證悟這教法到什麼程度了?’ |
+(outsiders also have 5ind (indriya)!)
| Evaṃ vutte, rājakumāra, āḷāro kālāmo ākiñcaññāyatanaṃ pavedesi. | When I said this, he declared the dimension of nothingness. | 我說這話時,他宣稱了無所有處。 |
| Tassa mayhaṃ, rājakumāra, etadahosi: | Then it occurred to me: | 然後我想到: |
| ‘na kho āḷārasseva kālāmassa atthi saddhā, mayhampatthi saddhā; | ‘It’s not just Āḷāra Kālāma who has justifiable-trust, | ‘不只是阿羅羅·迦羅摩有信, |

| Atha khvāhaṃ, rājakumāra, yena āḷāro kālāmo tenupasaṅkamiṃ; upasaṅkamitvā āḷāraṃ kālāmaṃ etadavocaṃ: | So I approached Āḷāra Kālāma and said to him: | 於是我走近阿羅羅·迦羅摩,對他說: |

| So evaṃ samāhite citte parisuddhe pariyodāte anaṅgaṇe vigatūpakkilese mudubhūte kammaniye ṭhite āneñjappatte sattānaṃ cutūpapātañāṇāya cittaṃ abhininnāmesiṃ. | When my mind had undistractified-&-lucidified in samādhi like this—purified, bright, spotless, rid of taints, pliable, workable, steady, and imperturbable—I extended it toward knowledge of the death and rebirth of sentient beings. | 当我的心像这样在禅定中变得不散乱和清明——清净、明亮、无染、无垢、柔顺、易用、坚定、不动摇——我将它导向对众生死亡和重生的知识。 |

I understood how sentient beings are reborn according to their deeds. | 以清净超人的天眼,我看到众生逝去和重生——卑劣的、高贵的、美丽的、丑陋的,在好的地方或坏的地方。我理解众生如何根据他们的业力重生。 |

Ignorance was destroyed and knowledge arose; darkness was destroyed and light arose, as happens for a meditator who is assiduous, ardent, and resolute. | 这是我夜半时分获得的第二种知识。无明被摧毁,知识升起;黑暗被摧毁,光明升起,就像精进、热切、坚决的禅修者一样。 |

| So ‘idaṃ dukkhan’ti yathābhūtaṃ abbhaññāsiṃ … pe … ‘ayaṃ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṃ abbhaññāsiṃ; | I truly understood: ‘This is suffering’ … ‘This is the origin of suffering’ … ‘This is the cessation of suffering’ … ‘This is the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering’. | 我真正理解了:“这是苦”……“这是苦的起源”……“这是苦的止息”……“这是导致苦止息的修行”。 |
| ‘ime āsavā’ti yathābhūtaṃ abbhaññāsiṃ … pe … ‘ayaṃ āsavanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṃ abbhaññāsiṃ. | I truly understood: ‘These are defilements’ … ‘This is the origin of defilements’ … ‘This is the cessation of defilements’ … ‘This is the practice that leads to the cessation of defilements’. | 我真正理解了:“这些是烦恼”……“这是烦恼的起源”……“这是烦恼的止息”……“这是导致烦恼止息的修行”。 |
| Tassa me evaṃ jānato evaṃ passato kāmāsavāpi cittaṃ vimuccittha, bhavāsavāpi cittaṃ vimuccittha, avijjāsavāpi cittaṃ vimuccittha. | Knowing and seeing like this, my mind was freed from the defilements of sensuality, desire to be reborn, and ignorance. | 如此知晓和看见,我的心从感官享乐、求生和无明的烦恼中解脱出来。 |
| Vimuttasmiṃ vimuttamiti ñāṇaṃ ahosi. | When it was freed, I knew it was freed. | 当它解脱时,我知道它解脱了。 |
| ‘Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā’ti abbhaññāsiṃ. | I understood: ‘Rebirth is ended; the spiritual journey has been completed; what had to be done has been done; there is no return to any state of existence.’ | 我明白了:“轮回已尽;灵性之旅已完成;该做的都已做完;不再回到任何存在状态。” |
| Ayaṃ kho me, rājakumāra, rattiyā pacchime yāme tatiyā | This was the third knowledge, which I achieved in the last watch of the night. | 这是我夜末时分获得的第三种知识。 |

| Evaṃ vutte, bodhi rājakumāro bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | When he had spoken, Prince Bodhi said to the Buddha: | 他说完后,菩提王子对佛陀说: |
| “aho buddho, aho dhammo, aho dhammassa svākkhātatā. | “Oh, the Buddha! Oh, The Dharma! Oh, how well explained is The Dharma! | “哦,佛陀!哦,佛法!哦,佛法讲解得多么好啊! |

| Atha kho me ayyā kucchimatī yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinnā kho me ayyā bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then my pregnant mother went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: | 那时我怀孕的母亲去见佛陀,顶礼后坐在一旁,对他说: |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾听闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. | 一时,佛陀住在舍卫城祇树给孤独园。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena rañño pasenadissa kosalassa vijite coro aṅgulimālo nāma hoti luddo lohitapāṇi hatapahate niviṭṭho adayāpanno pāṇabhūtesu. | Now at that time in the realm of King Pasenadi of Kosala there was a bandit named Aṅgulimāla. He was violent, bloody-handed, a hardened killer, merciless to living beings. | 当时,拘萨罗国波斯匿王境内有一个名叫鸯掘摩罗的强盗。他残暴、手上沾满鲜血、杀人成性、对众生毫无慈悲。 |
| Tena gāmāpi agāmā katā, nigamāpi anigamā katā, janapadāpi ajanapadā katā. | He laid waste to villages, towns, and countries. | 他摧毁村庄、城镇和国家。 |
| So manusse vadhitvā vadhitvā aṅgulīnaṃ mālaṃ dhāreti. | He was constantly murdering people, and he wore their fingers as a necklace. | 他不断杀人,并把他们的手指串成项链戴着。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya sāvatthiṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. | Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Sāvatthī for alms. | 于是佛陀早上穿好袈裟,拿着钵和袈裟,进入舍卫城乞食。 |
| Sāvatthiyaṃ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto senāsanaṃ saṃsāmetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena coro aṅgulimālo tenaddhānamaggaṃ paṭipajji. | Then, after the meal, on his return from alms-round, he set his lodgings in order and, taking his bowl and robe, he walked down the road that led to Aṅgulimāla. | 然后,饭后,从乞食回来,他整理好住所,拿着钵和袈裟,沿着通往鸯掘摩罗的道路走去。 |
| Addasāsuṃ kho gopālakā pasupālakā kassakā pathāvino bhagavantaṃ yena coro aṅgulimālo tenaddhānamaggapaṭipannaṃ. | The cowherds, shepherds, farmers, and travelers saw him on the road, | 牧牛人、牧羊人、农夫和旅行者在路上看到了他, |
| Disvāna bhagavantaṃ etadavocuṃ: | and said to him: | 并对他说: |
| “mā, samaṇa, etaṃ maggaṃ paṭipajji. | “Don’t take this road, ascetic. | “沙门,不要走这条路。 |
| Etasmiṃ, samaṇa, magge coro aṅgulimālo nāma luddo lohitapāṇi hatapahate niviṭṭho adayāpanno pāṇabhūtesu. | On this road there is a bandit named Aṅgulimāla. He is violent, bloody-handed, a hardened killer, merciless to living beings. | 这条路上有一个名叫鸯掘摩罗的强盗。他残暴、手上沾满鲜血、杀人成性、对众生毫无慈悲。 |
| Tena gāmāpi agāmā katā, nigamāpi anigamā katā, janapadāpi ajanapadā katā. | He has laid waste to villages, towns, and countries. | 他摧毁了村庄、城镇和国家。 |
| So manusse vadhitvā vadhitvā aṅgulīnaṃ mālaṃ dhāreti. | He is constantly murdering people, and he wears their fingers as a necklace. | 他不断杀人,并把他们的手指串成项链戴着。 |
| Etañhi, samaṇa, maggaṃ dasapi purisā vīsampi purisā tiṃsampi purisā cattārīsampi purisā paññāsampi purisā saṅkaritvā saṅkaritvā paṭipajjanti. | People travel along this road only after banding closely together in groups of ten, twenty, thirty, forty, or fifty. | 人们只有在十人、二十人、三十人、四十人或五十人成群结队地紧密聚集后才敢走这条路。 |
| Tepi corassa aṅgulimālassa hatthatthaṃ gacchantī”ti. | Still they meet their end by Aṅgulimāla’s hand.” | 即便如此,他们还是死在鸯掘摩罗的手中。” |
| Evaṃ vutte, bhagavā tuṇhībhūto agamāsi. | But when they said this, the Buddha went on in silence. | 但当他们这样说时,佛陀默默地走了过去。 |
| Dutiyampi kho gopālakā … pe … | For a second time … | 第二次…… |
| tatiyampi kho gopālakā pasupālakā kassakā pathāvino bhagavantaṃ etadavocuṃ: “mā, samaṇa, etaṃ maggaṃ paṭipajji, etasmiṃ samaṇa magge coro aṅgulimālo nāma luddo lohitapāṇi hatapahate niviṭṭho adayāpanno pāṇabhūtesu, tena gāmāpi agāmā katā, nigamāpi anigamā katā, janapadāpi ajanapadā katā. So manusse vadhitvā vadhitvā aṅgulīnaṃ mālaṃ dhāreti. Etañhi samaṇa maggaṃ dasapi purisā vīsampi purisā tiṃsampi purisā cattārīsampi purisā paññāsampi purisā saṅkaritvā saṅkaritvā paṭipajjanti. Tepi corassa aṅgulimālassa hatthatthaṃ gacchantī”ti. |
and a third time, they urged the Buddha to turn back. | 第三次,他们催促佛陀回头。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā tuṇhībhūto agamāsi. | But when they said this, the Buddha went on in silence. | 但当他们这样说时,佛陀默默地走了过去。 |
| Addasā kho coro aṅgulimālo bhagavantaṃ dūratova āgacchantaṃ. | The bandit Aṅgulimāla saw the Buddha coming off in the distance, | 强盗鸯掘摩罗远远地看见佛陀走来, |
| Disvānassa etadahosi: | and thought: | 心想: |
| “acchariyaṃ vata bho, abbhutaṃ vata bho. | “It’s incredible, it’s amazing! | “真是不可思议,太神奇了! |
| Imañhi maggaṃ dasapi purisā vīsampi purisā tiṃsampi purisā cattārīsampi purisā paññāsampi purisā saṅkaritvā saṅkaritvā paṭipajjanti. | People travel along this road only after banding closely together in groups of ten, twenty, thirty, forty, or fifty. | 人们只有在十人、二十人、三十人、四十人或五十人成群结队地紧密聚集后才敢走这条路。 |
| Tepi mama hatthatthaṃ gacchanti. | Still they meet their end by my hand. | 即便如此,他们还是死在我的手中。 |
| Atha ca panāyaṃ samaṇo eko adutiyo pasayha maññe āgacchati. | But still this ascetic comes along alone and unaccompanied, like he had beaten me already. | 但这位沙门竟然独自一人,没有陪伴,就像他已经打败了我一样走过来。 |
| Yannūnāhaṃ imaṃ samaṇaṃ jīvitā voropeyyan”ti. | Why don’t I take his life?” | 我何不取了他的性命?” |
| Atha kho coro aṅgulimālo asicammaṃ gahetvā dhanukalāpaṃ sannayhitvā bhagavantaṃ piṭṭhito piṭṭhito anubandhi. | Then Aṅgulimāla donned his sword and shield, fastened his bow and arrows, and followed behind the Buddha. | 于是鸯掘摩罗佩戴上剑和盾牌,系好弓箭,跟在佛陀身后。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā tathārūpaṃ iddhābhisaṅkhāraṃ abhisaṅkhāsi yathā coro aṅgulimālo bhagavantaṃ pakatiyā gacchantaṃ sabbathāmena gacchanto na sakkoti sampāpuṇituṃ. | Then the Buddha used his psychic power to will that Aṅgulimāla could not catch up with him no matter how hard he tried, even though the Buddha kept walking at a normal speed. | 然后佛陀运用神通力,意念让鸯掘摩罗无论如何努力也无法追上他,尽管佛陀以正常速度行走。 |
| Atha kho corassa aṅgulimālassa etadahosi: | Then Aṅgulimāla thought: | 然后鸯掘摩罗心想: |
| “acchariyaṃ vata bho, abbhutaṃ vata bho. | “It’s incredible, it’s amazing! | “真是不可思议,太神奇了! |
| Ahañhi pubbe hatthimpi dhāvantaṃ anupatitvā gaṇhāmi, assampi dhāvantaṃ anupatitvā gaṇhāmi, rathampi dhāvantaṃ anupatitvā gaṇhāmi, migampi dhāvantaṃ anupatitvā gaṇhāmi; | Previously, even when I’ve chased a speeding elephant, horse, chariot or deer, I’ve always caught up with them. | 以前,即使我追赶飞奔的大象、马、战车或鹿,我也总能追上它们。 |
| atha ca panāhaṃ imaṃ samaṇaṃ pakatiyā gacchantaṃ sabbathāmena gacchanto na sakkomi sampāpuṇitun”ti. | But I can’t catch up with this ascetic no matter how hard I try, even though he’s walking at a normal speed.” | 但无论我怎么努力,都追不上这位沙门,尽管他以正常速度行走。” |
| Ṭhitova bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | He stood still and said: | 他站住了,说道: |
| “tiṭṭha, tiṭṭha, samaṇā”ti. | “Stop, stop, ascetic!” | “停下,停下,沙门!” |
| “Ṭhito ahaṃ, aṅgulimāla, tvañca tiṭṭhā”ti. | “I’ve stopped, Aṅgulimāla—now you stop.” | “鸯掘摩罗,我已停下——现在你停下。” |
| Atha kho corassa aṅgulimālassa etadahosi: | Then Aṅgulimāla thought: | 然后鸯掘摩罗心想: |
| “ime kho samaṇā sakyaputtiyā saccavādino saccapaṭiññā. | “These Sakyan ascetics speak the truth. | “这些释迦族沙门说的是真话。 |
| Atha panāyaṃ samaṇo gacchaṃ yevāha: | Yet while walking the ascetic Gotama says: | 然而,乔达摩沙门在行走时却说: |
| ‘ṭhito ahaṃ, aṅgulimāla, tvañca tiṭṭhā’ti. | ‘I’ve stopped, Aṅgulimāla—now you stop.’ | ‘鸯掘摩罗,我已停下——现在你停下。’ |
| Yannūnāhaṃ imaṃ samaṇaṃ puccheyyan”ti. | Why don’t I ask him about this?” | 我何不问问他这是怎么回事?” |
| Atha kho coro aṅgulimālo bhagavantaṃ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi: | Then he addressed the Buddha in verse: | 于是他以偈颂对佛陀说: |
| “Gacchaṃ vadesi samaṇa ṭhitomhi, | “While walking, ascetic, you say ‘I’ve stopped.’ | “沙门,你行走时说‘我已停下’。 |
| Mamañca brūsi ṭhitamaṭṭhitoti; | And I have stopped, but you tell me I’ve not. | 而我已停下,你却说我没有。 |
| Pucchāmi taṃ samaṇa etamatthaṃ, | I’m asking you this, ascetic: | 我问你,沙门: |
| Kathaṃ ṭhito tvaṃ ahamaṭṭhitomhī”ti. | how is it you’ve stopped and I have not?” | 你是如何停下而我没有?” |
| “Ṭhito ahaṃ aṅgulimāla sabbadā, | “Aṅgulimāla, I have forever stopped— | “鸯掘摩罗,我已永远停下—— |
| Sabbesu bhūtesu nidhāya daṇḍaṃ; | I’ve cast off violence towards all creatures. | 我已舍弃对一切众生的暴力。 |
| Tuvañca pāṇesu asaññatosi, | But you’re uncontrolled towards living creatures; | 而你对众生毫无节制; |
| Tasmā ṭhitohaṃ tuvamaṭṭhitosī”ti. | that’s why I’ve stopped, but you have not.” | 这就是我停下而你没有的原因。” |
| “Cirassaṃ vata me mahito mahesī, | “Oh, at long last an ascetic, | “哦,终于有一位沙门, |
| Mahāvanaṃ pāpuṇi saccavādī; | a great sage who I honor, has entered this great forest. | 一位我尊敬的伟大贤者,进入了这片大森林。 |
| Sohaṃ carissāmi pahāya pāpaṃ, | Now that I’ve heard your verse on Dhamma, | 如今我听了你的佛法偈颂, |
| Sutvāna gāthaṃ tava dhammayuttaṃ”. | I shall live without evil.” | 我将活而无恶。” |
| Itveva coro asimāvudhañca, | With these words, the bandit hurled his sword and weapons | 说着,强盗把剑和武器 |
| Sobbhe papāte narake akiri; | down a cliff into a chasm. | 扔下悬崖,坠入深渊。 |
| Avandi coro sugatassa pāde, | He venerated the Holy One’s feet, | 他恭敬地顶礼圣者的双足, |
| Tattheva naṃ pabbajjaṃ ayāci. | and asked for the going forth right there. | 并当场请求出家。 |
| Buddho ca kho kāruṇiko mahesi, | Then the Buddha, the compassionate great sage, | 于是佛陀,这位慈悲的伟大贤者, |
| Yo satthā lokassa sadevakassa; | the teacher of the world with its gods, | 天人世界的导师, |
| “Tamehi bhikkhū”ti tadā avoca, | said to him, “Come, monk!” | 对他说道:“来吧,比丘!” |
| Eseva tassa ahu bhikkhubhāvoti. | And with that he became a monk. | 于是他便成了一名比丘。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā āyasmatā aṅgulimālena pacchāsamaṇena yena sāvatthi tena cārikaṃ pakkāmi. | Then the Buddha set out for Sāvatthī with Venerable Aṅgulimāla as his second monk. | 于是佛陀与尊者鸯掘摩罗作为他的第二位比丘,一同前往舍卫城。 |
| Anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena sāvatthi tadavasari. | Traveling stage by stage, he arrived at Sāvatthī, | 他一步步旅行,到达舍卫城, |
| Tatra sudaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. | where he stayed in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. | 住在祇树给孤独园。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena rañño pasenadissa kosalassa antepuradvāre mahājanakāyo sannipatitvā uccāsaddo mahāsaddo hoti: | Now at that time a crowd had gathered by the gate of King Pasenadi’s royal compound making a dreadful racket: | 这时,波斯匿王王宫门外聚集了一大群人,发出可怕的喧嚣声: |
| “coro te, deva, vijite aṅgulimālo nāma luddo lohitapāṇi hatapahate niviṭṭho adayāpanno pāṇabhūtesu. | “In your realm, Your Majesty, there is a bandit named Aṅgulimāla. He is violent, bloody-handed, a hardened killer, merciless to living beings. | “陛下,您的国境内有一个名叫鸯掘摩罗的强盗。他残暴、手上沾满鲜血、杀人成性、对众生毫无慈悲。 |
| Tena gāmāpi agāmā katā, nigamāpi anigamā katā, janapadāpi ajanapadā katā. | He has laid waste to villages, towns, and countries. | 他摧毁了村庄、城镇和国家。 |
| So manusse vadhitvā vadhitvā aṅgulīnaṃ mālaṃ dhāreti. | He is constantly murdering people, and he wears their fingers as a necklace. | 他不断杀人,并把他们的手指串成项链戴着。 |
| Taṃ devo paṭisedhetū”ti. | Your Majesty must put a stop to him!” | 陛下必须阻止他!” |
| Atha kho rājā pasenadi kosalo pañcamattehi assasatehi sāvatthiyā nikkhami divā divassa. | Then King Pasenadi drove out from Sāvatthī in the middle of the day with around five hundred horses, | 于是波斯匿王在中午时分,率领大约五百匹马,从舍卫城出发, |
| Yena ārāmo tena pāvisi. | heading for the monastery. | 前往精舍。 |
| Yāvatikā yānassa bhūmi yānena gantvā yānā paccorohitvā pattikova yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho rājānaṃ pasenadiṃ kosalaṃ bhagavā etadavoca: | He went by carriage as far as the terrain allowed, then descended and approached the Buddha on foot. He bowed and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him: | 他乘马车尽可能远,然后下车步行接近佛陀。他顶礼后坐在一旁。佛陀对他说: |
| “kiṃ nu te, mahārāja, rājā vā māgadho seniyo bimbisāro kupito vesālikā vā licchavī aññe vā paṭirājāno”ti? | “What is it, great king? Is King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha angry with you, or the Licchavis of Vesālī, or some other opposing ruler?” | “大王,发生什么事了?摩揭陀国斯尼雅·频毗娑罗王对您生气了,还是毗舍离的离车族,或其他敌对的统治者?” |
| “Na kho me, bhante, rājā māgadho seniyo bimbisāro kupito, nāpi vesālikā licchavī, nāpi aññe paṭirājāno. | “No, sir. | “不,世尊。 |
| Coro me, bhante, vijite aṅgulimālo nāma luddo lohitapāṇi hatapahate niviṭṭho adayāpanno pāṇabhūtesu. Tena gāmāpi agāmā katā, nigamāpi anigamā katā, janapadāpi ajanapadā katā. So manusse vadhitvā vadhitvā aṅgulīnaṃ mālaṃ dhāreti. |
In my realm there is a bandit named Aṅgulimāla. He is violent, bloody-handed, a hardened killer, merciless to living beings. … | 在我的国境内,有一个名叫鸯掘摩罗的强盗。他残暴、手上沾满鲜血、杀人成性、对众生毫无慈悲。…… |
| Tāhaṃ, bhante, paṭisedhissāmī”ti. | I shall put a stop to him.” | 我将阻止他。” |
| “Sace pana tvaṃ, mahārāja, aṅgulimālaṃ passeyyāsi kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitaṃ, virataṃ pāṇātipātā, virataṃ adinnādānā, virataṃ musāvādā, ekabhattikaṃ, brahmacāriṃ, sīlavantaṃ, kalyāṇadhammaṃ, kinti naṃ kareyyāsī”ti? | “But great king, suppose you were to see that Aṅgulimāla had shaved off his hair and beard, dressed in ocher robes, and gone forth from the lay life to homelessness. And that he was refraining from killing living creatures, stealing, and lying; that he was eating in one part of the day, and was celibate, ethical, and of good character. What would you do to him?” | “但是大王,假如你看到鸯掘摩罗剃除了须发,穿上袈裟,离家出家,不再杀生、偷盗、妄语;他日中一食,梵行清净,持戒严谨,品德高尚。你会怎么对待他?” |
| “Abhivādeyyāma vā, bhante, paccuṭṭheyyāma vā āsanena vā nimanteyyāma, abhinimanteyyāma vā naṃ cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārehi, dhammikaṃ vā assa rakkhāvaraṇaguttiṃ saṃvidaheyyāma. | “I would bow to him, rise in his presence, or offer him a seat. I’d invite him to accept robes, alms-food, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick. And I’d arrange for his lawful guarding and protection. | “我会向他顶礼、为他起身、或为他设座。我会邀请他接受袈裟、乞食、住所和病人的医药补给。我还会安排对他合法的守护和保护。 |
| Kuto panassa, bhante, dussīlassa pāpadhammassa evarūpo sīlasaṃyamo bhavissatī”ti? | But sir, how could such an immoral, evil man ever have such virtue and restraint?” | 但是世尊,这样一个不道德、邪恶的人怎么可能拥有这样的美德和自律呢?” |
| Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā aṅgulimālo bhagavato avidūre nisinno hoti. | Now, at that time Venerable Aṅgulimāla was sitting not far from the Buddha. | 那时,尊者鸯掘摩罗正坐在离佛陀不远的地方。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā dakkhiṇaṃ bāhuṃ paggahetvā rājānaṃ pasenadiṃ kosalaṃ etadavoca: | Then the Buddha pointed with his right arm and said to the king: | 于是佛陀用右手指向国王,对他说: |
| “eso, mahārāja, aṅgulimālo”ti. | “Great king, this is Aṅgulimāla.” | “大王,这就是鸯掘摩罗。” |
| Atha kho rañño pasenadissa kosalassa ahudeva bhayaṃ, ahu chambhitattaṃ, ahu lomahaṃso. | Then the king became frightened, scared, his hair standing on end. | 于是国王变得恐惧、害怕,汗毛直竖。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā rājānaṃ pasenadiṃ kosalaṃ bhītaṃ saṃviggaṃ lomahaṭṭhajātaṃ viditvā rājānaṃ pasenadiṃ kosalaṃ etadavoca: | Knowing this, the Buddha said to him: | 佛陀知其心,对他说: |
| “mā bhāyi, mahārāja, natthi te ito bhayan”ti. | “Do not fear, great king. You have nothing to fear from him.” | “大王,不要害怕。你没有什么好怕他的。” |
| Atha kho rañño pasenadissa kosalassa yaṃ ahosi bhayaṃ vā chambhitattaṃ vā lomahaṃso vā so paṭippassambhi. | Then the king’s fear died down. | 于是国王的恐惧平息了。 |
| Atha kho rājā pasenadi kosalo yenāyasmā aṅgulimālo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṃ aṅgulimālaṃ etadavoca: | Then the king went over to Aṅgulimāla and said: | 然后国王走到鸯掘摩罗面前说: |
| “ayyo no, bhante, aṅgulimālo”ti? | “Sir, is the venerable really Aṅgulimāla?” | “世尊,这位尊者真的是鸯掘摩罗吗?” |
| “Evaṃ, mahārājā”ti. | “Yes, great king.” | “是的,大王。” |
| “Kathaṅgotto ayyassa pitā, kathaṅgottā mātā”ti? | “What clans were your father and mother from?” | “您的父母是哪个家族的?” |
| “Gaggo kho, mahārāja, pitā, mantāṇī mātā”ti. | “My father was a Gagga, and my mother a Mantāṇī.” | “我父亲是伽伽族,我母亲是曼塔尼族。” |
| “Abhiramatu, bhante, ayyo gaggo mantāṇiputto. | “May the venerable Gagga Mantāṇīputta be happy. | “愿尊者伽伽曼塔尼子快乐。 |
| Ahamayyassa gaggassa mantāṇiputtassa ussukkaṃ karissāmi cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārānan”ti. | I’ll make sure that you’re provided with robes, alms-food, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick.” | 我将确保为您提供袈裟、乞食、住所和病人的医药补给。” |
| Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā aṅgulimālo āraññiko hoti piṇḍapātiko paṃsukūliko tecīvariko. | Now at that time Venerable Aṅgulimāla lived in the wilderness, ate only alms-food, and owned just three robes. | 那时,尊者鸯掘摩罗住在旷野,只吃乞食,只拥有三件袈裟。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā aṅgulimālo rājānaṃ pasenadiṃ kosalaṃ etadavoca: | He said to the king: | 他对国王说: |
| “alaṃ, mahārāja, paripuṇṇaṃ me cīvaran”ti. | “Enough, great king. My robes are complete.” | “够了,大王。我的袈裟已备齐。” |
| Atha kho rājā pasenadi kosalo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho rājā pasenadi kosalo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then the king went back to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: | 于是国王回到佛陀身边,顶礼后坐在一旁,对佛陀说: |
| “acchariyaṃ, bhante, abbhutaṃ, bhante. | “It’s incredible, sir, it’s amazing! | “真是不可思议,世尊,真是神奇! |
| Yāvañcidaṃ, bhante, bhagavā adantānaṃ dametā, asantānaṃ sametā, aparinibbutānaṃ parinibbāpetā. | How the Buddha tames those who are wild, pacifies those who are violent, and extinguishes those who are unnirvana'd! | 佛陀是如何驯服那些野蛮的人,平息那些暴戾的人,以及熄灭那些尚未涅槃的人! |
| Yañhi mayaṃ, bhante, nāsakkhimhā daṇḍenapi satthenapi dametuṃ so bhagavatā adaṇḍena asattheneva danto. | For I was not able to tame him with the rod and the sword, but the Buddha tamed him without rod or sword. | 因为我无法用棍棒和刀剑驯服他,但佛陀却不用棍棒或刀剑驯服了他。 |
| Handa ca dāni mayaṃ, bhante, gacchāma; | Well, now, sir, I must go. | 那么,世尊,我必须走了。 |
| bahukiccā mayaṃ bahukaraṇīyā”ti. | I have many duties, and much to do.” | 我有很多职责,很多事情要做。” |
| “Yassadāni, mahārāja, kālaṃ maññasī”ti. | “Please, great king, go at your convenience.” | “请便,大王。” |
| Atha kho rājā pasenadi kosalo uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṃ katvā pakkāmi. | Then King Pasenadi got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving. | 于是波斯匿王从座位上起身,顶礼,然后恭敬地右绕佛陀,然后离开了。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā aṅgulimālo pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya sāvatthiyaṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. | Then Venerable Aṅgulimāla robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Sāvatthī for alms. | 然后尊者鸯掘摩罗早上穿好袈裟,拿着钵和袈裟,进入舍卫城乞食。 |
| Addasā kho āyasmā aṅgulimālo sāvatthiyaṃ sapadānaṃ piṇḍāya caramāno aññataraṃ itthiṃ mūḷhagabbhaṃ vighātagabbhaṃ. | Then as he was wandering indiscriminately for alms-food he saw a woman undergoing a painful obstructed labor. | 然后当他随意乞食时,他看到一位妇女正在经历痛苦的难产。 |
| Disvānassa etadahosi: | Seeing this, it occurred to him: | 看到这个,他心想: |
| “kilissanti vata, bho, sattā; | “Oh, beings suffer such filth! | “哦,众生遭受如此污秽! |
| kilissanti vata, bho, sattā”ti. | Oh, beings suffer such filth!” | 哦,众生遭受如此污秽!” |
| Atha kho āyasmā aṅgulimālo sāvatthiyaṃ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho āyasmā aṅgulimālo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “idhāhaṃ, bhante, pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya sāvatthiṃ piṇḍāya pāvisiṃ. Addasaṃ kho ahaṃ, bhante, sāvatthiyaṃ sapadānaṃ piṇḍāya caramāno aññataraṃ itthiṃ mūḷhagabbhaṃ vighātagabbhaṃ. Disvāna mayhaṃ etadahosi: ‘kilissanti vata bho sattā, kilissanti vata bho sattā’”ti. |
Then after wandering for alms in Sāvatthī, after the meal, on his return from alms-round, he went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened. The Buddha said to him: | 然后在舍卫城乞食后,饭后,从乞食回来,他去见佛陀,顶礼后坐在一旁,并将发生的事情告诉了佛陀。佛陀对他说: |
| “Tena hi tvaṃ, aṅgulimāla, yena sā itthī tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā taṃ itthiṃ evaṃ vadehi: | “Well then, Aṅgulimāla, go to that woman and say this: | “那么,鸯掘摩罗,你去那个女人那里,这样说: |
| ‘yatohaṃ, bhagini, jāto nābhijānāmi sañcicca pāṇaṃ jīvitā voropetā, tena saccena sotthi te hotu, sotthi gabbhassā’”ti. | ‘Ever since I was born, sister, I don’t recall having deliberately taken the life of a living creature. By this truth, may both you and your infant be safe.’” | ‘姐妹,自从我出生以来,我不记得有故意夺取任何众生的生命。以此真理,愿你和你的婴儿都平安。’” |
| “So hi nūna me, bhante, sampajānamusāvādo bhavissati. | “But sir, wouldn’t that be telling a deliberate lie? | “但是世尊,那不是故意说谎吗? |
| Mayā hi, bhante, bahū sañcicca pāṇā jīvitā voropitā”ti. | For I have deliberately killed many living creatures.” | 因为我曾故意杀害许多众生。” |
| “Tena hi tvaṃ, aṅgulimāla, yena sā itthī tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā taṃ itthiṃ evaṃ vadehi: | “In that case, Aṅgulimāla, go to that woman and say this: | “那样的话,鸯掘摩罗,你去那个女人那里,这样说: |
| ‘yatohaṃ, bhagini, ariyāya jātiyā jāto, nābhijānāmi sañcicca pāṇaṃ jīvitā voropetā, tena saccena sotthi te hotu, sotthi gabbhassā’”ti. | ‘Ever since I was born in the noble birth, sister, I don’t recall having deliberately taken the life of a living creature. By this truth, may both you and your infant be safe.’” | ‘姐妹,自从我圣者之生以来,我不记得有故意夺取任何众生的生命。以此真理,愿你和你的婴儿都平安。’” |
| “Evaṃ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā aṅgulimālo bhagavato paṭissutvā yena sā itthī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā taṃ itthiṃ etadavoca: | “Yes, sir,” replied Aṅgulimāla. He went to that woman and said: | “是的,世尊,”鸯掘摩罗回答道。他去那个女人那里,说道: |
| “yatohaṃ, bhagini, ariyāya jātiyā jāto, nābhijānāmi sañcicca pāṇaṃ jīvitā voropetā, tena saccena sotthi te hotu, sotthi gabbhassā”ti. | “Ever since I was born in the noble birth, sister, I don’t recall having deliberately taken the life of a living creature. By this truth, may both you and your infant be safe.” | “姐妹,自从我圣者之生以来,我不记得有故意夺取任何众生的生命。以此真理,愿你和你的婴儿都平安。” |
| Atha khvāssā itthiyā sotthi ahosi, sotthi gabbhassa. | Then that woman was safe, and so was her infant. | 于是那个女人平安了,她的婴儿也平安了。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā aṅgulimālo eko vūpakaṭṭho appamatto ātāpī pahitatto viharanto nacirasseva—yassatthāya kulaputtā sammadeva agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajanti, tadanuttaraṃ—brahmacariyapariyosānaṃ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja vihāsi. | Then Aṅgulimāla, living alone, withdrawn, assiduous, ardent, and resolute, soon realized the supreme end of the spiritual path in this very life. He lived having achieved with his own insight the goal for which people from good families rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness. | 然后鸯掘摩罗独自居住,离群索居,精进,热切,坚决,很快就在此生中证得了灵性道路的最高目标。他凭自己的洞察力,达到了那些善家子弟理应离家出家所追求的目标。 |
| “Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā”ti abbhaññāsi. | He understood: “Rebirth is ended; the spiritual journey has been completed; what had to be done has been done; there is no return to any state of existence.” | 他明白:“轮回已尽;灵性之旅已完成;该做的都已做完;不再回到任何存在状态。” |
| Aññataro kho panāyasmā aṅgulimālo arahataṃ ahosi. | And Venerable Aṅgulimāla became one of the perfected. | 于是尊者鸯掘摩罗成为一位圆满者。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā aṅgulimālo pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya sāvatthiṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. | Then Venerable Aṅgulimāla robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Sāvatthī for alms. | 然后尊者鸯掘摩罗早上穿好袈裟,拿着钵和袈裟,进入舍卫城乞食。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena aññenapi leḍḍu khitto āyasmato aṅgulimālassa kāye nipatati, aññenapi daṇḍo khitto āyasmato aṅgulimālassa kāye nipatati, aññenapi sakkharā khittā āyasmato aṅgulimālassa kāye nipatati. | Now at that time someone threw a stone that hit Aṅgulimāla, someone else threw a stick, and someone else threw gravel. | 那时有人扔了一块石头砸中鸯掘摩罗,另一个人扔了一根棍子,还有人扔了碎石。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā aṅgulimālo bhinnena sīsena, lohitena gaḷantena, bhinnena pattena, vipphālitāya saṅghāṭiyā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami. | Then Aṅgulimāla—with cracked head, bleeding, his bowl broken, and his outer robe torn—went to the Buddha. | 然后鸯掘摩罗——头破血流,钵被打碎,外衣撕裂——去见佛陀。 |
| Addasā kho bhagavā āyasmantaṃ aṅgulimālaṃ dūratova āgacchantaṃ. | The Buddha saw him coming off in the distance, | 佛陀远远地看见他走来, |
| Disvāna āyasmantaṃ aṅgulimālaṃ etadavoca: | and said to him: | 并对他说: |
| “adhivāsehi tvaṃ, brāhmaṇa, adhivāsehi tvaṃ, brāhmaṇa. | “Endure it, brahmin! Endure it, brahmin! | “忍受吧,婆罗门!忍受吧,婆罗门! |
| Yassa kho tvaṃ, brāhmaṇa, kammassa vipākena bahūni vassāni bahūni vassasatāni bahūni vassasahassāni niraye pacceyyāsi tassa tvaṃ, brāhmaṇa, kammassa vipākaṃ diṭṭheva dhamme paṭisaṃvedesī”ti. | You’re experiencing in this life the result of deeds that might have caused you to be tormented in hell for many years, many hundreds or thousands of years.” | 你正在此生中经历那些可能使你在地狱中受苦许多年、许多百年或千年业报。” |
| Atha kho āyasmā aṅgulimālo rahogato paṭisallīno vimuttisukhaṃ paṭisaṃvedi; | Later, Venerable Aṅgulimāla was experiencing the pleasure of release while in private retreat. | 后来,尊者鸯掘摩罗在僻静处体验着解脱的喜悦。 |
| tāyaṃ velāyaṃ imaṃ udānaṃ udānesi: | On that occasion he spoke these words of inspiration: | 那时他说了这些感言: |
| “Yo pubbeva pamajjitvā, | “Someone who was heedless before, | “以前放逸的人, |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾听闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. | 一时,佛陀住在舍卫城祇树给孤独园。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena aññatarassa gahapatissa ekaputtako piyo manāpo kālaṅkato hoti. | Now at that time a certain householder’s dear and beloved only child passed away. | 那时,某位居士心爱的独子去世了。 |
| Tassa kālaṃkiriyāya neva kammantā paṭibhanti na bhattaṃ paṭibhāti. | After their death he didn’t feel like working or eating. | 他死后,那位居士不想工作也不想吃饭。 |
| So āḷāhanaṃ gantvā kandati: | He would go to the cemetery and wail: | 他会去墓地哭嚎: |
| “kahaṃ, ekaputtaka, kahaṃ, ekaputtakā”ti. | “Where are you, my only child? Where are you, my only child?” | “我的独子你在哪里?我的独子你在哪里?” |
| Atha kho so gahapati yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho taṃ gahapatiṃ bhagavā etadavoca: | Then he went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him: | 然后他去见佛陀,顶礼后坐在一旁。佛陀对他说: |
| “na kho te, gahapati, sake citte ṭhitassa indriyāni, atthi te indriyānaṃ aññathattan”ti. | “Householder, you look like someone who’s not in their right mind; your faculties have deteriorated.” | “居士,您看起来像个心不在焉的人;您的感官已经退化了。” |
| “Kiñhi me, bhante, indriyānaṃ nāññathattaṃ bhavissati; | “And how, sir, could my faculties not have deteriorated? | “世尊,我的感官怎么可能没有退化呢? |
| mayhañhi, bhante, ekaputto piyo manāpo kālaṅkato. | For my dear and beloved only child has passed away. | 因为我心爱的独子去世了。 |
| Tassa kālaṃkiriyāya neva kammantā paṭibhanti, na bhattaṃ paṭibhāti. | Since their death I haven’t felt like working or eating. | 他死后,我不想工作也不想吃饭。 |
| Sohaṃ āḷāhanaṃ gantvā kandāmi: | I go to the cemetery and wail: | 我去墓地哭嚎: |
| ‘kahaṃ, ekaputtaka, kahaṃ, ekaputtakā’”ti. | ‘Where are you, my only child? Where are you, my only child?’” | ‘我的独子你在哪里?我的独子你在哪里?’” |
| “Evametaṃ, gahapati, evametaṃ, gahapati. | “That’s so true, householder! That’s so true, householder! | “真是这样,居士!真是这样,居士! |
| Piyajātikā hi, gahapati, sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā piyappabhavikā”ti. | For our loved ones are a source of sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress.” | 因为我们所爱的人是忧愁、悲叹、痛苦、悲伤和苦恼的来源。” |
| “Kassa kho nāmetaṃ, bhante, evaṃ bhavissati: ‘piyajātikā sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā piyappabhavikā’ti? |
“Sir, who on earth could ever think such a thing! | “世尊,世上谁会这么想呢! |
| Piyajātikā hi kho, bhante, ānandasomanassā piyappabhavikā”ti. | For our loved ones are a source of joy and happiness.” | 因为我们所爱的人是喜悦和幸福的来源。” |
| Atha kho so gahapati bhagavato bhāsitaṃ anabhinanditvā paṭikkositvā uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkāmi. | Disagreeing with the Buddha’s statement, rejecting it, he got up from his seat and left. | 他不认同佛陀的说法,拒绝了它,然后从座位上起身离开了。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā akkhadhuttā bhagavato avidūre akkhehi dibbanti. | Now at that time several gamblers were playing dice not far from the Buddha. | 那时,有几个赌徒正在离佛陀不远的地方玩骰子。 |
| Atha kho so gahapati yena te akkhadhuttā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā akkhadhutte etadavoca: “idhāhaṃ, bhonto, yena samaṇo gotamo tenupasaṅkamiṃ; upasaṅkamitvā samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃ. Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho maṃ, bhonto, samaṇo gotamo etadavoca: ‘na kho te, gahapati, sake citte ṭhitassa indriyāni, atthi te indriyānaṃ aññathattan’ti.

That householder approached them and told them what had happened. | 那位居士走上前去,把发生的事情告诉了他们。 |
| “Evametaṃ, gahapati, evametaṃ, gahapati. | “That’s so true, householder! That’s so true, householder! | “真是这样,居士!真是这样,居士! |

| Atha kho so gahapati “sameti me akkhadhuttehī”ti pakkāmi. | Thinking, “The gamblers and I are in agreement,” the householder left. | 居士心想:“这些赌徒和我意见一致。”于是离开了。 |
| Atha kho idaṃ kathāvatthu anupubbena rājantepuraṃ pāvisi. | Eventually that topic of discussion reached the royal compound. | 最终这个话题传到了王宫。 |

| Atha kho rājā pasenadi kosalo mallikaṃ deviṃ āmantesi: | Then King Pasenadi addressed Queen Mallikā: | 波斯匿王对末利王后说: |
| “idaṃ te, mallike, samaṇena gotamena bhāsitaṃ: | “Mallika, your ascetic Gotama said this: | “末利,你的沙门乔达摩说: |

| “Sacetaṃ, mahārāja, bhagavatā bhāsitaṃ, evametan”ti. | “If that’s what the Buddha said, great king, then that’s how it is.” | “如果佛陀是这么说的,大王,那就是这样。” |

| Atha kho āyasmā ānando pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya sāvatthiyaṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. | Then Venerable Ānanda robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Sāvatthī for alms. | 于是尊者阿难早上穿好袈裟,拿着钵和袈裟,进入舍卫城乞食。 |
| Sāvatthiyaṃ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yena pubbārāmo migāramātupāsādo tenupasaṅkami divāvihārāya. | He wandered for alms in Sāvatthī. After the meal, on his return from alms-round, he went to the Eastern Monastery, the stilt longhouse of Migāra’s mother, for the day’s meditation. | 他在舍卫城乞食。饭后,从乞食回来,他前往东园,弥伽罗母的长屋,进行白天的禅修。 |

“Yes, Your Majesty,” that man replied. He did as the king asked. | “遵命,陛下,”那人回答。他照国王的吩咐做了。 |
| Adhivāsesi kho āyasmā ānando tuṇhībhāvena. | Ānanda consented in silence. | 阿难默许了。 |

He bowed, stood to one side, and said to Ānanda: | 于是波斯匿王骑象行至路尽处,然后下马步行接近阿难。他顶礼后站立一旁,对阿难说: |
| “sace, bhante, āyasmato ānandassa na kiñci accāyikaṃ karaṇīyaṃ, sādhu, bhante, āyasmā ānando yena aciravatiyā nadiyā tīraṃ tenupasaṅkamatu anukampaṃ upādāyā”ti. | “Sir, if you have no urgent business, it would be nice of you to go to the bank of the Aciravatī river out of compassion.” | “世尊,如果您没有急事,出于慈悲,您能去阿致罗筏底河畔就好了。” |

He bowed, stood to one side, and said to Ānanda: | 于是波斯匿王骑象行至路尽处,然后下马步行接近阿难。他顶礼后站立一旁,对阿难说: |
| “idha, bhante, āyasmā ānando hatthatthare nisīdatū”ti. | “Here, Venerable Ānanda, sit on this elephant rug.” | “尊者阿难,请坐在这张象毯上。” |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾听闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sakkesu viharati medāḷupaṃ nāma sakyānaṃ nigamo. | At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Sakyans, near the Sakyan town named Medeḷumpa. | 一时,佛陀住在释迦国,毗邻名为梅德伦帕的释迦小镇。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena rājā pasenadi kosalo nagarakaṃ anuppatto hoti kenacideva karaṇīyena. | Now at that time King Pasenadi of Kosala had arrived at Nagaraka on some business. | 那时,拘萨罗国波斯匿王因事抵达那迦罗迦。 |
| Atha kho rājā pasenadi kosalo dīghaṃ kārāyanaṃ āmantesi: | Then he addressed Dīgha Kārāyana: | 然后他对地伽迦罗衍那说: |
| “yojehi, samma kārāyana, bhadrāni bhadrāni yānāni, uyyānabhūmiṃ gacchāma subhūmiṃ dassanāyā”ti. | “My good Kārāyana, harness the finest chariots. We will go to a park and see the scenery.” | “我亲爱的迦罗衍那,套上最好的马车。我们将去公园观赏风景。” |

| Yena ārāmo tena pāyāsi. | heading for the park grounds. | 前往公园。 |

| Disvāna bhagavantaṃyeva ārabbha sati udapādi: | The sight reminded him right away of the Buddha: | 这景象立刻让他想起了佛陀: |
| “imāni kho tāni rukkhamūlāni pāsādikāni pasādanīyāni appasaddāni appanigghosāni vijanavātāni manussarāhasseyyakāni paṭisallānasāruppāni, yattha sudaṃ mayaṃ taṃ bhagavantaṃ payirupāsāma arahantaṃ sammāsambuddhan”ti. | “These roots of trees, so impressive and inspiring, are like those where we used to pay homage to the Blessed One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha.” | “这些令人印象深刻、令人振奋的树根,就像我们以前用来顶礼世尊、圆满者、完全觉悟的佛陀的地方。” |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾听闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā uruññāyaṃ viharati kaṇṇakatthale migadāye. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Ujuñña, in the deer park at Kaṇṇakatthala. | 一时,佛陀住在乌阇那附近,迦那迦达拉的鹿野苑。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena rājā pasenadi kosalo uruññaṃ anuppatto hoti kenacideva karaṇīyena. | Now at that time King Pasenadi of Kosala had arrived at Ujuñña on some business. | 那时,拘萨罗国波斯匿王因事抵达乌阇那。 |
| Atha kho rājā pasenadi kosalo aññataraṃ purisaṃ āmantesi: | Then he addressed a man: | 然后他对一个人说: |
| “ehi tvaṃ, ambho purisa, yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā mama vacanena bhagavato pāde sirasā vandāhi, appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ puccha: ‘rājā, bhante, pasenadi kosalo bhagavato pāde sirasā vandati, appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ pucchatī’ti; |
“Please, mister, go to the Buddha, and in my name bow with your head to his feet. Ask him if he is healthy and well, nimble, strong, and living comfortably. | “请你,先生,去见佛陀,以我的名义,五体投地向他顶礼。问他是否健康安好,轻捷有力,生活舒适。 |
| evañca vadehi: | And then say: | 然后说: |
| ‘ajja kira, bhante, rājā pasenadi kosalo pacchābhattaṃ bhuttapātarāso bhagavantaṃ dassanāya upasaṅkamissatī’”ti. | ‘Sir, King Pasenadi of Kosala will come to see you today when he has finished breakfast.’" | ‘世尊,拘萨罗国波斯匿王今天早餐后将来拜见您。’” |
| “Evaṃ, devā”ti kho so puriso rañño pasenadissa kosalassa paṭissutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho so puriso bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “rājā, bhante, pasenadi kosalo bhagavato pāde sirasā vandati, appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ pucchati; evañca vadeti: ‘ajja kira, bhante, rājā pasenadi kosalo pacchābhattaṃ bhuttapātarāso bhagavantaṃ dassanāya upasaṅkamissatī’”ti. |
“Yes, Your Majesty,” that man replied. He did as the king asked. | “遵命,陛下,”那人回答。他照国王的吩咐做了。 |
| Assosuṃ kho somā ca bhaginī sakulā ca bhaginī: “ajja kira rājā pasenadi kosalo pacchābhattaṃ bhuttapātarāso bhagavantaṃ dassanāya upasaṅkamissatī”ti. |
The sisters Somā and Sakulā heard this. | 苏摩和娑俱罗姐妹听到了这个消息。 |
| Atha kho somā ca bhaginī sakulā ca bhaginī rājānaṃ pasenadiṃ kosalaṃ bhattābhihāre upasaṅkamitvā etadavocuṃ: | Then, while the meal was being served, they approached the king and said: | 于是,当饭菜上桌时,她们走近国王说: |
| “tena hi, mahārāja, amhākampi vacanena bhagavato pāde sirasā vandāhi, appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ puccha: ‘somā ca, bhante, bhaginī sakulā ca bhaginī bhagavato pāde sirasā vandati, appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ pucchatī’”ti. |
“Great king, since you are going to the Buddha, please bow in our name with your head to his feet. Ask him if he is healthy and well, nimble, strong, and living comfortably.” | “大王,既然您要去见佛陀,请以我们的名义,五体投地向他顶礼。问他是否健康安好,轻捷有力,生活舒适。” |
| Atha kho rājā pasenadi kosalo pacchābhattaṃ bhuttapātarāso yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho rājā pasenadi kosalo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | When he had finished breakfast, King Pasenadi went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: | 早餐后,波斯匿王去见佛陀,顶礼后坐在一旁,对佛陀说: |
| “somā ca, bhante, bhaginī sakulā ca bhaginī bhagavato pāde sirasā vandati, appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ pucchatī”ti. | “Sir, the sisters Somā and Sakulā bow with their heads to your feet. They ask if you are healthy and well, nimble, strong, and living comfortably.” | “世尊,苏摩和娑俱罗姐妹五体投地向您顶礼。她们问您是否健康安好,轻捷有力,生活舒适。” |
| “Kiṃ pana, mahārāja, somā ca bhaginī sakulā ca bhaginī aññaṃ dūtaṃ nālatthun”ti? | “But, great king, couldn’t they get any other messenger?” | “但是,大王,她们难道找不到其他信使吗?” |
| “Assosuṃ kho, bhante, somā ca bhaginī sakulā ca bhaginī: ‘ajja kira rājā pasenadi kosalo pacchābhattaṃ bhuttapātarāso bhagavantaṃ dassanāya upasaṅkamissatī’ti. Atha kho, bhante, somā ca bhaginī sakulā ca bhaginī maṃ bhattābhihāre upasaṅkamitvā etadavocuṃ: ‘tena hi, mahārāja, amhākampi vacanena bhagavato pāde sirasā vandāhi, appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ puccha— somā ca bhaginī sakulā ca bhaginī bhagavato pāde sirasā vandati, appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ pucchatī’”ti. |
So Pasenadi explained the circumstances of the message. | 于是波斯匿王解释了传话的情况。 |
| “Sukhiniyo hontu tā, mahārāja, somā ca bhaginī sakulā ca bhaginī”ti. | The Buddha said: “May the sisters Somā and Sakulā be happy, great king.” | 佛陀说:“愿苏摩和娑俱罗姐妹平安快乐,大王。” |

| Atha kho rājā pasenadi kosalo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then the king said to the Buddha: | 然后国王对佛陀说: |
| “sutaṃ metaṃ, bhante, samaṇo gotamo evamāha: | “I have heard, sir, that the ascetic Gotama says this: | “世尊,我曾听说沙门乔达摩这样说: |

Is their explanation in line with The Dharma? Are there any legitimate grounds for rebuke and criticism?” | 那些说这话的人是否复述了佛陀所说的话,而没有以虚假不实之言歪曲他?他们的解释是否符合教义?是否有任何正当的理由进行反驳和批评?” |
| “Ye te, mahārāja, evamāhaṃsu: ‘samaṇo gotamo evamāha—natthi so samaṇo vā brāhmaṇo vā yo sabbaññū sabbadassāvī aparisesaṃ ñāṇadassanaṃ paṭijānissati, netaṃ ṭhānaṃ vijjatī’ti; na me te vuttavādino, abbhācikkhanti ca pana maṃ te asatā abhūtenā”ti. | “Great king, those who say this do not repeat what I have said. They misrepresent me with what is false and untrue.” | “大王,那些说这话的人并没有复述我所说的话。他们用虚假不实之言歪曲了我。” |

| “Sañjayo, mahārāja, brāhmaṇo ākāsagotto”ti. | “It was Sañjaya, great king, the brahmin of the Ākāsa clan.” | “是大王,是阿迦萨家族的婆罗门善星。” |
| Atha kho rājā pasenadi kosalo aññataraṃ purisaṃ āmantesi: | Then the king addressed a man: | 然后国王对一个人说: |

| Yathā kathaṃ pana, bhante, bhagavā abhijānāti vācaṃ bhāsitā”ti? | How then do you recall making this statement?” | 那么您是如何回忆自己说过这句话的呢?” |

| Evaṃ vutte, viṭaṭūbho senāpati bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | When he said this, General Viḍūḍabha said to the Buddha: | 他说完后,毘琉璃将军对佛陀说: |
| “ye te, bhante, devā sabyābajjhā āgantāro itthattaṃ te devā, ye te devā abyābajjhā anāgantāro itthattaṃ te deve tamhā ṭhānā cāvessanti vā pabbājessanti vā”ti? | “Sir, will the gods subject to affliction topple or expel from their place the gods who are free of affliction?” | “世尊,那些受苦的天神会被他们的……颠覆或驱逐吗?” |
| Atha kho āyasmato ānandassa etadahosi: | Then Venerable Ānanda thought: | 那时,尊者阿难心想: |
| “ayaṃ kho viṭaṭūbho senāpati rañño pasenadissa kosalassa putto; | “This General Viḍūḍabha is King Pasenadi’s son, | “毗琉璃将军是波斯匿王的儿子, |

| Atha kho āyasmā ānando viṭaṭūbhaṃ senāpatiṃ āmantesi: | Then Ānanda addressed General Viḍūḍabha: | 于是阿难对毗琉璃将军说: |
| “tena hi, senāpati, taññevettha paṭipucchissāmi; yathā te khameyya tathā naṃ byākareyyāsi. | “Well then, general, I’ll ask you about this in return, and you can answer as you like. | “那么,将军,我反过来问你,你可以随意回答。 |

| Atha kho rājā pasenadi kosalo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then the king said to the Buddha: | 那时,国王对佛陀说: |

| “Kiṃ pana tvaṃ, mahārāja, evaṃ vadesi: ‘kiṃ pana, bhante, atthi brahmā’”ti? |
“But what exactly are you asking?” | “但是你到底在问什么?” |
| “Yadi vā so, bhante, brahmā āgantā itthattaṃ, yadi vā anāgantā itthattan”ti? | “Whether that Brahmā comes back to this state of existence or not.” | “那个梵天是否会回到这种存在状态。” |

| Viṭaṭūbho senāpati evamāha: | But Viḍūḍabha said: | 但毗琉璃说: |
| “sañjayo, mahārāja, brāhmaṇo ākāsagotto”ti. | “It was Sañjaya, great king, the brahmin of the Ākāsa clan.” | “是散若耶,大王,阿迦奢家族的婆罗门。” |

Then he got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving. | 于是波斯匿王赞同并同意佛陀所说的。然后他从座位上站起来,合掌,恭敬地右绕佛陀,然后离开。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | (derived from B. Sujato 2018/12) | (摘自B. Sujato 2018/12) |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā videhesu cārikaṃ carati mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi. | So I have heard. | 我曾听闻。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena brahmāyu brāhmaṇo mithilāyaṃ paṭivasati jiṇṇo vuḍḍho mahallako addhagato vayoanuppatto, vīsavassasatiko jātiyā, tiṇṇaṃ vedānaṃ pāragū sanighaṇḍukeṭubhānaṃ sākkharappabhedānaṃ itihāsapañcamānaṃ, padako, veyyākaraṇo, lokāyatamahāpurisalakkhaṇesu anavayo. | Now at that time the brahmin Brahmāyu was residing in Mithilā. He was old, elderly, and senior, advanced in years, having reached the final stage of life; he was a hundred and twenty years old. He was an expert in the three Vedas, together with their vocabularies, ritual, phonology and etymology, and the testament as fifth. He knew philology and grammar, and was well versed in cosmology and the marks of a great man. | 那时,婆罗门梵天达多住在弥提罗。他年老、年迈、高寿,已届晚年;他一百二十岁了。他精通三吠陀,连同其词汇、仪式、语音学和词源学,并以第五的契经。他精通语文学和语法,并且精通宇宙学和大丈夫相。 |
| Assosi kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo: | He heard: | 他听闻: |
| “samaṇo khalu bho, gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito videhesu cārikaṃ carati mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi. | “It seems the ascetic Gotama—a Sakyan, gone forth from a Sakyan family—is wandering in the land of the Videhans, together with a large Saṅgha of around five hundred monks. | “沙门乔达摩——一位释迦族的沙门,从释迦族出家——似乎在毗提诃国游方,与大约五百名比丘的大僧伽在一起。 |
| Taṃ kho pana bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ evaṃ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato: | He has this good reputation: | 他有这样的好名声: |
| ‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṃ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṃ buddho bhagavā’ti. | ‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those who wish to train, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’ | ‘那位世尊是阿罗汉,正等正觉,明行足,善逝,世间解,无上士,调御丈夫,天人师,佛,世尊。’ |
| So imaṃ lokaṃ sadevakaṃ samārakaṃ sabrahmakaṃ sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiṃ pajaṃ sadevamanussaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā pavedeti. | He has realized with his own insight this world—with its gods, Māras and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—and he makes it known to others. | 他以自己的洞察力证悟了此世——连同其诸天、魔罗和梵天,以及此世的沙门、婆罗门、天人和人类——并将其告知他人。 |
| So dhammaṃ deseti ādikalyāṇaṃ majjhekalyāṇaṃ pariyosānakalyāṇaṃ sātthaṃ sabyañjanaṃ, kevalaparipuṇṇaṃ parisuddhaṃ brahmacariyaṃ pakāseti. | He explains a teaching that’s good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased. And he reveals a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure. | 他解释的教法在开始时是好的,在中间是好的,在结尾时也是好的,有意义且措辞优美。他揭示了一种完全圆满和纯粹的精神修行。 |
| Sādhu kho pana tathārūpānaṃ arahataṃ dassanaṃ hotī”ti. | It’s good to see such perfected ones.” | 能见到这样的阿罗汉是件好事。” |
| Tena kho pana samayena brahmāyussa brāhmaṇassa uttaro nāma māṇavo antevāsī hoti tiṇṇaṃ vedānaṃ pāragū sanighaṇḍukeṭubhānaṃ sākkharappabhedānaṃ itihāsapañcamānaṃ, padako, veyyākaraṇo, lokāyatamahāpurisalakkhaṇesu anavayo. | Now at that time the brahmin Brahmāyu had a student named Uttara. He too was an expert in the three Vedas, etc. | 那时,婆罗门梵天达多有一个名叫郁多罗的学生。他同样精通三吠陀等。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo uttaraṃ māṇavaṃ āmantesi: “ayaṃ, tāta uttara, samaṇo gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito videhesu cārikaṃ carati mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi. Taṃ kho pana bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ evaṃ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato: ‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṃ sammāsambuddho … pe … sādhu kho pana tathārūpānaṃ arahataṃ dassanaṃ hotī’ti. |
Then Brahmāyu told Uttara of the Buddha’s presence in the land of the Videhans, and added: | 于是梵天达多将佛陀在毗提诃国的事告诉了郁多罗,并补充道: |
| Ehi tvaṃ, tāta uttara, yena samaṇo gotamo tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ jānāhi, yadi vā taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ tathā santaṃyeva saddo abbhuggato, yadi vā no tathā; yadi vā so bhavaṃ gotamo tādiso, yadi vā na tādiso. |
“Please, dear Uttara, go to the ascetic Gotama and find out whether or not he lives up to his reputation. | “亲爱的郁多罗,请去沙门乔达摩那里,看看他是否名副其实。 |
| Tathā mayaṃ taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ vedissāmā”ti. | Through you I shall learn about Master Gotama.” | 通过你,我将了解乔达摩大师。” |
| “Yathā kathaṃ panāhaṃ, bho, taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ jānissāmi yadi vā taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ tathā santaṃyeva saddo abbhuggato, yadi vā no tathā; yadi vā so bhavaṃ gotamo tādiso, yadi vā na tādiso”ti. |
“But sir, how shall I find out whether or not the ascetic Gotama lives up to his reputation?” | “但是先生,我如何才能知道沙门乔达摩是否名副其实呢?” |
| “Āgatāni kho, tāta uttara, amhākaṃ mantesu dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni, yehi samannāgatassa mahāpurisassa dveyeva gatiyo bhavanti anaññā. | “Dear Uttara, the thirty-two marks of a great man have been handed down in our hymns. A great man who possesses these has only two possible destinies, no other. | “亲爱的郁多罗,我们赞颂的圣歌中流传着三十二大丈夫相。一个拥有这些相的伟人只有两种可能的命运,没有其他。 |
| Sace agāraṃ ajjhāvasati, rājā hoti cakkavattī dhammiko dhammarājā cāturanto vijitāvī janapadatthāvariyappatto sattaratanasamannāgato. | If he stays at home he becomes a king, a wheel-turning monarch, a just and Dharmic king. His dominion extends to all four sides, he achieves stability in the country, and he possesses the seven treasures. | 如果他留在家里,他就会成为国王,转轮圣王,一位公正而有原则的国王。他的统治范围遍及四方,他在国内取得了稳定,并拥有七宝。 |
| Tassimāni satta ratanāni bhavanti, seyyathidaṃ— | He has the following seven treasures: | 他拥有以下七宝: |
| cakkaratanaṃ, hatthiratanaṃ, assaratanaṃ, maṇiratanaṃ, itthiratanaṃ, gahapatiratanaṃ, pariṇāyakaratanameva sattamaṃ. | the wheel, the elephant, the horse, the jewel, the woman, the treasurer, and the counselor as the seventh treasure. | 轮宝、象宝、马宝、珠宝、女宝、居士宝和第七的将士宝。 |
| Parosahassaṃ kho panassa puttā bhavanti sūrā vīraṅgarūpā parasenappamaddanā. | He has over a thousand sons who are valiant and heroic, crushing the armies of his enemies. | 他有一千多个儿子,他们勇猛善战,击溃敌人的军队。 |
| So imaṃ pathaviṃ sāgarapariyantaṃ adaṇḍena asatthena dhammena abhivijiya ajjhāvasati. | After conquering this land girt by sea, he reigns by dharma, without rod or sword. | 征服了这片被海洋环绕的土地后,他以原则统治,不持棍棒或刀剑。 |
| Sace kho pana agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajati, arahaṃ hoti sammāsambuddho loke vivaṭṭacchado. | But if he goes forth from the lay life to homelessness, he becomes a perfected one, a fully awakened Buddha, who draws back the veil from the world. | 但如果他出家离家,他就会成为阿罗汉,一位正等正觉,揭开世界面纱的人。 |
| Ahaṃ kho pana, tāta uttara, mantānaṃ dātā; | But, dear Uttara, I am the one who gives the hymns, | 但是,亲爱的郁多罗,我是传授圣歌的人, |
| tvaṃ mantānaṃ paṭiggahetā”ti. | and you are the one who receives them.” | 而你是接受它们的人。” |
| “Evaṃ, bho”ti kho uttaro māṇavo brahmāyussa brāhmaṇassa paṭissutvā uṭṭhāyāsanā brahmāyuṃ brāhmaṇaṃ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṃ katvā videhesu yena bhagavā tena cārikaṃ pakkāmi. | “Yes, sir,” replied Uttara. He got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled Brahmāyu before setting out for the land of the Videhans where the Buddha was wandering. | “好的,先生。”郁多罗回答。他从座位上站起来,合掌,恭敬地右绕梵天达多,然后前往佛陀正在游方的毗提诃国。 |
| Anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. | Traveling stage by stage, he came to the Buddha and exchanged greetings with him. | 他一步一步地旅行,来到佛陀面前,与他互致问候。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. | When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side, | 问候和礼貌的交谈结束后,他坐在一边, |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho uttaro māṇavo bhagavato kāye dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni samannesi. | and scrutinized his body for the thirty-two marks of a great man. | 仔细检查佛陀身体上的三十二大丈夫相。 |
| Addasā kho uttaro māṇavo bhagavato kāye dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni, yebhuyyena thapetvā dve. | He saw all of them except for two, | 他看到了所有相,除了两相, |
| Dvīsu mahāpurisalakkhaṇesu kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati— | which he had doubts about: | 他对此有疑问: |
| kosohite ca vatthaguyhe pahūtajivhatāya ca. | whether the private parts are retracted, and the largeness of the tongue. | 私处是否隐匿,以及舌头的大小。 |
| Atha kho bhagavato etadahosi: | Then it occurred to the Buddha: | 那时佛陀心想: |
| “passati kho me ayaṃ uttaro māṇavo dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni, yebhuyyena thapetvā dve. | “This brahmin student Uttara sees all the marks except for two, | “这位婆罗门学生郁多罗看到了所有相,除了两相, |
| Dvīsu mahāpurisalakkhaṇesu kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati— | which he has doubts about: | 他对此有疑问: |
| kosohite ca vatthaguyhe pahūtajivhatāya cā”ti. | whether the private parts are retracted, and the largeness of the tongue.” | 私处是否隐匿,以及舌头的大小。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā tathārūpaṃ iddhābhisaṅkhāraṃ abhisaṅkhāsi yathā addasa uttaro māṇavo bhagavato kosohitaṃ vatthaguyhaṃ. | Then the Buddha used his psychic power to will that Uttara would see his retracted private parts. | 于是佛陀运用神通,让郁多罗看到了他隐匿的私处。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā jivhaṃ ninnāmetvā ubhopi kaṇṇasotāni anumasi paṭimasi; ubhopi nāsikasotāni anumasi paṭimasi; kevalampi nalāṭamaṇḍalaṃ jivhāya chādesi. | And he stuck out his tongue and stroked back and forth on his ear holes and nostrils, and covered his entire forehead with his tongue. | 他伸出舌头,来回舔拭他的耳孔和鼻孔,并用舌头覆盖了他整个前额。 |
| Atha kho uttarassa māṇavassa etadahosi: | Then Uttara thought: | 于是郁多罗心想: |
| “samannāgato kho samaṇo gotamo dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇehi. | “The ascetic Gotama possesses the thirty-two marks. | “沙门乔达摩拥有三十二大丈夫相。 |
| Yannūnāhaṃ samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ anubandheyyaṃ, iriyāpathamassa passeyyan”ti. | Why don’t I follow him and observe his deportment?” | 我为什么不跟随他,观察他的举止呢?” |
| Atha kho uttaro māṇavo sattamāsāni bhagavantaṃ anubandhi chāyāva anapāyinī. | Then Uttara followed the Buddha like a shadow for seven months. | 于是郁多罗像影子一样跟随佛陀七个月。 |
| Atha kho uttaro māṇavo sattannaṃ māsānaṃ accayena videhesu yena mithilā tena cārikaṃ pakkāmi. | When seven months had passed he set out wandering towards Mithilā. | 七个月后,他开始向弥提罗游方。 |
| Anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena mithilā yena brahmāyu brāhmaṇo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā brahmāyuṃ brāhmaṇaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho uttaraṃ māṇavaṃ brahmāyu brāhmaṇo etadavoca: | There he approached the brahmin Brahmāyu, bowed, and sat down to one side. Brahmāyu said to him: | 在那里,他来到婆罗门梵天达多面前,合掌,坐在一边。梵天达多对他说: |
| “kacci, tāta uttara, taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ tathā santaṃyeva saddo abbhuggato, no aññathā? Kacci pana so bhavaṃ gotamo tādiso, no aññādiso”ti? |
“Well, dear Uttara, does Master Gotama live up to his reputation or not?” | “那么,亲爱的郁多罗,乔达摩大师是否名副其实呢?” |
| “Tathā santaṃyeva, bho, taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ saddo abbhuggato, no aññathā; tādisova so bhavaṃ gotamo, no aññādiso. |
“He does, sir. | “是的,先生。 |
| Samannāgato ca so bhavaṃ gotamo dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇehi. | Master Gotama possesses the thirty-two marks. | 乔达摩大师拥有三十二大丈夫相。 |

Before sitting down to one side, some bowed, some exchanged greetings and polite conversation, some held up their joined palms toward the Buddha, some announced their name and clan, while some kept silent. | 于是弥提罗的婆罗门和居士们前往佛陀处。在坐到一边之前,有些人合掌,有些人互致问候和礼貌的交谈,有些人合掌向佛陀,有些人报上自己的姓名和族姓,而有些人则保持沉默。 |
| Assosi kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo: “samaṇo khalu, bho, gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito mithilaṃ anuppatto, mithilāyaṃ viharati maghadevaambavane”ti. | The brahmin Brahmāyu also heard that the Buddha had arrived. | 婆罗门梵天达多也听说佛陀来了。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo sambahulehi sāvakehi saddhiṃ yena maghadevaambavanaṃ tenupasaṅkami. | So he went to the Makhādeva Mango Grove together with several disciples. | 于是他带着几名弟子前往猕猴园。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyuno brāhmaṇassa avidūre ambavanassa etadahosi: | Not far from the grove he thought: | 离园子不远,他心想: |
| “na kho metaṃ patirūpaṃ yohaṃ pubbe appaṭisaṃvidito samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ dassanāya upasaṅkameyyan”ti. | “It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to go to see the ascetic Gotama without first letting him know.” | “我未经沙门乔达摩允许就去见他,这不合适。” |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo aññataraṃ māṇavakaṃ āmantesi: | Then Brahmāyu addressed one of his students: | 于是梵天达多对他的一个学生说: |
| “ehi tvaṃ, māṇavaka, yena samaṇo gotamo tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā mama vacanena samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ puccha: ‘brahmāyu, bho gotama, brāhmaṇo bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ pucchatī’ti. |
“Here, student, go to the ascetic Gotama and in my name bow with your head to his feet. Ask him if he is healthy and well, nimble, strong, and living comfortably. | “学生,去沙门乔达摩那里,替我五体投地向他请安。问他是否健康安好,身轻体健,力量充沛,生活舒适。 |
| Evañca vadehi: | And then say: | 然后说: |
| ‘brahmāyu, bho gotama, brāhmaṇo jiṇṇo vuḍḍho mahallako addhagato vayoanuppatto, vīsavassasatiko jātiyā, tiṇṇaṃ vedānaṃ pāragū sanighaṇḍukeṭubhānaṃ sākkharappabhedānaṃ itihāsapañcamānaṃ, padako, veyyākaraṇo, lokāyatamahāpurisalakkhaṇesu anavayo. | ‘Master Gotama, the brahmin Brahmāyu is old, elderly, and senior, advanced in years, having reached the final stage of life; he is a hundred and twenty years old. He is an expert in the three Vedas, together with their vocabularies, ritual, phonology and etymology, and the testament as fifth. He knows philology and grammar, and is well versed in cosmology and the marks of a great man. | ‘乔达摩大师,婆罗门梵天达多年老、年迈、高寿,已届晚年;他一百二十岁了。他精通三吠陀,连同其词汇、仪式、语音学和词源学,并以第五的契经。他精通语文学和语法,并且精通宇宙学和大丈夫相。 |
| Yāvatā, bho, brāhmaṇagahapatikā mithilāyaṃ paṭivasanti, brahmāyu tesaṃ brāhmaṇo aggamakkhāyati— | Of all the brahmins and householders residing in Mithilā, Brahmāyu is said to be the foremost in | 在弥提罗所有婆罗门和居士中,梵天达多在 |

| So bhoto gotamassa dassanakāmo’”ti. | He wants to see Master Gotama.’” | 他想见乔达摩大师。’” |
| “Evaṃ, bho”ti kho so māṇavako brahmāyussa brāhmaṇassa paṭissutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṃ ṭhito kho so māṇavako bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “brahmāyu, bho gotama, brāhmaṇo bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ pucchati; evañca vadeti: ‘brahmāyu, bho gotama, brāhmaṇo jiṇṇo vuḍḍho mahallako addhagato vayoanuppatto, vīsavassasatiko jātiyā, tiṇṇaṃ vedānaṃ pāragū sanighaṇḍukeṭubhānaṃ sākkharappabhedānaṃ itihāsapañcamānaṃ, padako, veyyākaraṇo, lokāyatamahāpurisalakkhaṇesu anavayo.

“Yes, sir,” that student replied. He did as he was asked, and the Buddha said: | “好的,先生。”那个学生回答。他照办了,佛陀说: |
| “Yassadāni, māṇava, brahmāyu brāhmaṇo kālaṃ maññatī”ti. | “Please, student, let Brahmāyu come when he’s ready.” | “请学生回去告诉梵天达多,他准备好了就可以来。” |
| Atha kho so māṇavako yena brahmāyu brāhmaṇo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā brahmāyuṃ brāhmaṇaṃ etadavoca: | The student went back to Brahmāyu and said to him: | 学生回到梵天达多身边,对他说: |
| “katāvakāso khomhi bhavatā samaṇena gotamena. | “Your request for an audience with the ascetic Gotama has been granted. | “您求见沙门乔达摩的请求已被允许。 |
| Yassadāni bhavaṃ kālaṃ maññatī”ti. | Please go at your convenience.” | 请您方便时去吧。” |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami. | Then the brahmin Brahmāyu went up to the Buddha. | 于是婆罗门梵天达多前往佛陀处。 |
| Addasā kho sā parisā brahmāyuṃ brāhmaṇaṃ dūratova āgacchantaṃ. | The assembly saw him coming off in the distance, | 大众远远地看到他来了, |
| Disvāna oramiya okāsamakāsi yathā taṃ ñātassa yasassino. | and made way for him, as he was well-known and famous. | 便为他让路,因为他很出名。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo taṃ parisaṃ etadavoca: | Brahmāyu said to that retinue: | 梵天达多对那群随从说: |
| “alaṃ, bho. | “Enough, gentlemen. | “够了,诸位。 |
| Nisīdatha tumhe sake āsane. | Please sit on your own seats. | 请坐到自己的座位上。 |
| Idhāhaṃ samaṇassa gotamassa santike nisīdissāmī”ti. | I shall sit here by the ascetic Gotama.” | 我将坐在这里,沙门乔达摩旁边。” |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. | Then the brahmin Brahmāyu went up to the Buddha, and exchanged greetings with him. | 婆罗门梵天达多于是来到佛陀处,与他互致问候。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. | When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side, | 问候和礼貌的交谈结束后,他坐到一边, |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo bhagavato kāye dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni samannesi. | and scrutinized the Buddha’s body for the thirty-two marks of a great man. | 仔细审视佛陀身体上的三十二大丈夫相。 |
| Addasā kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo bhagavato kāye dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni, yebhuyyena ṭhapetvā dve. | He saw all of them except for two, | 他看到了所有相,除了两相, |
| Dvīsu mahāpurisalakkhaṇesu kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati— | which he had doubts about: | 他对此有疑问: |
| kosohite ca vatthaguyhe pahūtajivhatāya ca. | whether the private parts are retracted, and the largeness of the tongue. | 私处是否隐匿,以及舌头的大小。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ gāthāhi ajjhabhāsi: | Then Brahmāyu addressed the Buddha in verse: | 于是梵天达多以偈语对佛陀说: |
| “Ye me dvattiṃsāti sutā, | “I have learned of the thirty-two | “我已学得三十二 |
| mahāpurisalakkhaṇā; | marks of a great man. | 大丈夫相。 |
| Duve tesaṃ na passāmi, | There are two that I don’t see | 有两相我未见 |
| bhoto kāyasmiṃ gotama. | on the body of the ascetic Gotama. | 沙门乔达摩身上。 |
| Kacci kosohitaṃ bhoto, | Are the private parts retracted, | 私处是否隐匿, |
| vatthaguyhaṃ naruttama; | O supreme person? | 哦,至高无上的人? |
| Nārīsamānasavhayā, | Though called by a word of the feminine gender, | 虽然被称作阴性名词, |
| kacci jivhā na dassakā. | perhaps your tongue is a manly one? | 也许你的舌头是男性的? |
| Kacci pahūtajivhosi, | Perhaps your tongue is large, | 也许你的舌头很大, |

| Ninnāmayetaṃ pahūtaṃ, | Please stick it out in its full extent, | 请将其完全伸出, |
| kaṅkhaṃ vinaya no ise. | and so, O hermit, dispel my doubt. | 如此,哦,隐士,消除我的疑惑。 |
| Diṭṭhadhammahitatthāya, | For my welfare and benefit in this life, | 为了我此生的福祉和利益, |
| samparāyasukhāya ca; | and happiness in the next. | 以及来生的幸福。 |
| Katāvakāsā pucchāma, | And I ask you to grant the opportunity | 我恳请你允许我 |
| yaṃ kiñci abhipatthitan”ti. | to ask whatever I desire.” | 问任何我想要的问题。” |
| Atha kho bhagavato etadahosi: | Then the Buddha thought: | 佛陀于是心想: |
| “passati kho me ayaṃ brahmāyu brāhmaṇo dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni, yebhuyyena ṭhapetvā dve. | “Brahmāyu sees all the marks except for two, | “梵天达多看到了所有相,除了两相, |
| Dvīsu mahāpurisalakkhaṇesu kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati— | which he has doubts about: | 他对此有疑问: |
| kosohite ca vatthaguyhe pahūtajivhatāya cā”ti. | whether the private parts are retracted, and the largeness of the tongue.” | 私处是否隐匿,以及舌头的大小。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā tathārūpaṃ iddhābhisaṅkhāraṃ abhisaṅkhāsi yathā addasa brahmāyu brāhmaṇo bhagavato kosohitaṃ vatthaguyhaṃ. | Then the Buddha used his psychic power to will that Brahmāyu would see his retracted private parts. | 于是佛陀运用神通,让梵天达多看到了他隐匿的私处。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā jivhaṃ ninnāmetvā ubhopi kaṇṇasotāni anumasi paṭimasi; ubhopi nāsikasotāni anumasi paṭimasi; kevalampi nalāṭamaṇḍalaṃ jivhāya chādesi. | And he stuck out his tongue and stroked back and forth on his ear holes and nostrils, and covered his entire forehead with his tongue. | 他伸出舌头,来回舔拭他的耳孔和鼻孔,并用舌头覆盖了他整个前额。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā brahmāyuṃ brāhmaṇaṃ gāthāhi paccabhāsi: | Then the Buddha replied to Brahmāyu in verse: | 佛陀于是以偈语回答梵天达多: |
| “Ye te dvattiṃsāti sutā, | “The thirty-two marks of a great man | “你所学得的 |
| mahāpurisalakkhaṇā; | that you have learned | 三十二大丈夫相, |
| Sabbe te mama kāyasmiṃ, | are all found on my body: | 都存在于我的身体上: |
| mā te kaṅkhāhu brāhmaṇa. | so do not doubt, brahmin. | 所以不要怀疑,婆罗门。 |
| Abhiññeyyaṃ abhiññātaṃ, | I have known what should be known, | 我已知应知, |

| Pahātabbaṃ pahīnaṃ me, | and given up what should be given up: | 已舍应舍: |
| tasmā buddhosmi brāhmaṇa. | and so, brahmin, I am a Buddha. | 因此,婆罗门,我是佛陀。 |
| Diṭṭhadhammahitatthāya, | For your welfare and benefit in this life, | 为了你此生的福祉和利益, |
| samparāyasukhāya ca; | and happiness in the next: | 以及来生的幸福: |
| Katāvakāso pucchassu, | I grant you the opportunity | 我允许你 |
| yaṃ kiñci abhipatthitan”ti. | to ask whatever you desire.” | 问任何你想要的问题。” |
| Atha kho brahmāyussa brāhmaṇassa etadahosi: | Then Brahmāyu thought: | 梵天达多于是心想: |
| “katāvakāso khomhi samaṇena gotamena. | “My request has been granted. | “我的请求被允许了。 |
| Kiṃ nu kho ahaṃ samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ puccheyyaṃ: | Should I ask him about | 我应该问他关于 |
| ‘diṭṭhadhammikaṃ vā atthaṃ samparāyikaṃ vā’”ti. | what is beneficial in this life or the next?” | 此生还是来生的利益呢?” |
| Atha kho brahmāyussa brāhmaṇassa etadahosi: | Then he thought: | 然后他想: |
| “kusalo kho ahaṃ diṭṭhadhammikānaṃ atthānaṃ. | “I’m well versed in the benefits that apply to this life, | “我精通此生所适用的利益, |
| Aññepi maṃ diṭṭhadhammikaṃ atthaṃ pucchanti. | and others ask me about this. | 而其他人也问我这些。 |
| Yannūnāhaṃ samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ samparāyikaṃyeva atthaṃ puccheyyan”ti. | Why don’t I ask the ascetic Gotama about the benefit that specifically applies to lives to come?” | 我为什么不问沙门乔达摩专门适用于来生的利益呢?” |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ gāthāhi ajjhabhāsi: | Then Brahmāyu addressed the Buddha in verse: | 于是梵天达多以偈语对佛陀说: |
| “Kathaṃ kho brāhmaṇo hoti, | “How do you become a brahmin? | “如何成为婆罗门? |
| kathaṃ bhavati vedagū; | And how do you become a knowledge master? | 如何成为知识大师? |
| Tevijjo bho kathaṃ hoti, | How a master of the three knowledges? | 如何成为三明者? |
| sotthiyo kinti vuccati. | And how is one called a scholar? | 如何被称为学者? |
| Arahaṃ bho kathaṃ hoti, | How do you become a perfected one? | 如何成为阿罗汉? |
| kathaṃ bhavati kevalī; | And how a consummate one? | 如何成为圆满者? |
| Muni ca bho kathaṃ hoti, | How do you become a sage? | 如何成为圣人? |
| buddho kinti pavuccatī”ti. | And how is one declared to be awakened?” | 如何被宣称为觉悟者?” |
| Atha kho bhagavā brahmāyuṃ brāhmaṇaṃ gāthāhi paccabhāsi: | Then the Buddha replied to Brahmāyu in verse: | 佛陀于是以偈语回答梵天达多: |
| “Pubbenivāsaṃ yo vedi, | “One who knows their past lives, | “知其宿世者, |
| saggāpāyañca passati; | and sees heaven and places of loss, | 见天界与恶趣, |

| abhiññā vosito muni. | that sage has perfect insight. | 彼圣人有圆满洞察。 |
| Cittaṃ visuddhaṃ jānāti, | They know their mind is pure, | 彼知自心清净, |
| muttaṃ rāgehi sabbaso; | completely freed from greed; | 彻底离贪; |
| Pahīnajātimaraṇo, | they’ve given up birth and death, | 彼已舍生与死, |
| brahmacariyassa kevalī; | and have completed the spiritual journey. | 已完成灵性之旅。 |
| Pāragū sabbadhammānaṃ, | Gone beyond all things, | 超越一切事物者, |
| buddho tādī pavuccatī”ti. | such a one is declared to be awakened.” | 彼被宣称为觉悟者。” |
| Evaṃ vutte, brahmāyu brāhmaṇo uṭṭhāyāsanā ekaṃsaṃ uttarāsaṅgaṃ karitvā bhagavato pādesu sirasā nipatitvā bhagavato pādāni mukhena ca paricumbati, pāṇīhi ca parisambāhati, nāmañca sāveti: | When he said this, Brahmāyu got up from his seat and arranged his robe on one shoulder. He bowed with his head to the Buddha’s feet, caressing them and covering them with kisses, and pronounced his name: | 他说完后,梵天达多从座位上站起来,将袍服披在一肩。他五体投地向佛陀的双足,爱抚并亲吻它们,并报上自己的名字: |
| “brahmāyu ahaṃ, bho gotama, brāhmaṇo; | “I am the brahmin Brahmāyu, Master Gotama! | “我是婆罗门梵天达多,乔达摩大师! |
| brahmāyu ahaṃ, bho gotama, brāhmaṇo”ti. | I am the brahmin Brahmāyu!” | 我是婆罗门梵天达多!” |
| Atha kho sā parisā acchariyabbhutacittajātā ahosi: | Then that assembly, their minds full of wonder and amazement, thought: | 于是大众心生惊奇和赞叹,心想: |
| “acchariyaṃ vata bho, abbhutaṃ vata bho. | “It’s incredible, it’s amazing, | “令人难以置信,令人惊叹, |
| Yatra hi nāmāyaṃ brahmāyu brāhmaṇo ñāto yasassī evarūpaṃ paramanipaccakāraṃ karissatī”ti. | that Brahmāyu, who is so well-known and famous, should show the Buddha such utmost devotion.” | 如此知名且著名的梵天达多,竟然对佛陀表现出如此至高的虔诚。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā brahmāyuṃ brāhmaṇaṃ etadavoca: | Then the Buddha said to Brahmāyu: | 于是佛陀对梵天达多说: |
| “alaṃ, brāhmaṇa, uṭṭhaha nisīda tvaṃ sake āsane yato te mayi cittaṃ pasannan”ti. | “Enough, brahmin. Get up, and sit in your own seat, since your mind has such confidence in me.” | “够了,婆罗门。起来,坐回你的座位上,因为你的心对我如此自信。” |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo uṭṭhahitvā sake āsane nisīdi. | So Brahmāyu got up and sat in his own seat. | 于是梵天达多站起来,坐回自己的座位。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā brahmāyussa brāhmaṇassa anupubbiṃ kathaṃ kathesi, seyyathidaṃ— | Then the Buddha taught him step by step, with | 佛陀于是逐步教导他,以 |
| dānakathaṃ, sīlakathaṃ, saggakathaṃ; | a talk on giving, ethical conduct, and heaven. | 布施、戒行和天界的谈论。 |
| kāmānaṃ ādīnavaṃ okāraṃ saṅkilesaṃ nekkhamme ānisaṃsaṃ pakāsesi. | He explained the drawbacks of sensual pleasures, so sordid and corrupt, and the benefit of renunciation. | 他解释了感官享乐的弊端,是如此污秽和腐败,以及出离的益处。 |
| Yadā bhagavā aññāsi brahmāyuṃ brāhmaṇaṃ kallacittaṃ muducittaṃ vinīvaraṇacittaṃ udaggacittaṃ pasannacittaṃ, atha yā buddhānaṃ sāmukkaṃsikā dhammadesanā taṃ pakāsesi— | And when the Buddha knew that Brahmāyu’s mind was ready, pliable, rid of hindrances, joyful, and confident he explained the special teaching of the Buddhas: | 当佛陀知道梵天达多的心已准备好、柔顺、没有障碍、喜悦和自信时,他解释了佛陀的特殊教法: |
| dukkhaṃ, samudayaṃ, nirodhaṃ, maggaṃ. | suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path. | 苦、苦之源、苦之灭、以及道。 |
| Seyyathāpi nāma suddhaṃ vatthaṃ apagatakāḷakaṃ sammadeva rajanaṃ paṭiggaṇheyya; | Just as a clean cloth rid of stains would properly absorb dye, | 就像一块干净无染的布能够很好地吸收染料一样, |
| evameva brahmāyussa brāhmaṇassa tasmiṃyeva āsane virajaṃ vītamalaṃ dhammacakkhuṃ udapādi: | in that very seat the stainless, immaculate vision of the Dhamma arose in the brahmin Brahmāyu: | 就在那个座位上,婆罗门梵天达多生起了无垢、无染的法眼: |
| “yaṃ kiñci samudayadhammaṃ sabbaṃ taṃ nirodhadhamman”ti. | “Everything that has a beginning has an end.” | “一切有开始的事物都有结束。” |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo diṭṭhadhammo pattadhammo viditadhammo pariyogāḷhadhammo tiṇṇavicikiccho vigatakathaṅkatho vesārajjappatto aparappaccayo satthusāsane bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then Brahmāyu saw, attained, understood, and fathomed the Dhamma. He went beyond doubt, got rid of indecision, and became self-assured and independent of others regarding the Teacher’s instructions. He said to the Buddha: | 于是梵天达多见道、证道、明了、彻悟佛法。他超越了疑惑,消除了犹豫不决,对导师的教诲变得自信和不依赖他人。他对佛陀说: |
| “abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama, abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama. | “Excellent, Master Gotama! Excellent! | “太好了,乔达摩大师!太好了! |
| Seyyathāpi, bho gotama, nikkujjitaṃ vā ukkujjeyya, paṭicchannaṃ vā vivareyya, mūḷhassa vā maggaṃ ācikkheyya, andhakāre vā telapajjotaṃ dhāreyya ‘cakkhumanto rūpāni dakkhantī’ti; evamevaṃ bhotā gotamena anekapariyāyena dhammo pakāsito. | As if he were righting the overturned, or revealing the hidden, or pointing out the path to the lost, or lighting a lamp in the dark so people with good eyes can see what’s there, Master Gotama has made The Dharma clear in many ways. | 就像扶正颠倒的,揭示隐藏的,指出迷途者的道路,或在黑暗中点亮一盏灯,让明眼人能看清事物一样,乔达摩大师以多种方式阐明了教法。 |
| Esāhaṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ saraṇaṃ gacchāmi dhammañca bhikkhusaṅghañca. | I go for refuge to Master Gotama, to The Dharma, and to the monk Saṅgha. | 我皈依乔达摩大师,皈依佛法,皈依僧伽。 |
| Upāsakaṃ maṃ bhavaṃ gotamo dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupetaṃ saraṇaṃ gataṃ. | From this day forth, may Master Gotama remember me as a lay follower who has gone for refuge for life. | 从今天起,愿乔达摩大师记住我是一个终身皈依的在家弟子。 |
| Adhivāsetu ca me bhavaṃ gotamo svātanāya bhattaṃ saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṅghenā”ti. | Would you and the monk Saṅgha please accept a meal from me tomorrow?” | 您和僧伽明天能否接受我的供养?” |
| Adhivāsesi bhagavā tuṇhībhāvena. | The Buddha consented in silence. | 佛陀默许了。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo bhagavato adhivāsanaṃ viditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṃ katvā pakkāmi. | Then, knowing that the Buddha had accepted, Brahmāyu got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving. | 于是,梵天达多知道佛陀已接受,便从座位上站起来,合掌,恭敬地右绕佛陀,然后离开。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo tassā rattiyā accayena sake nivesane paṇītaṃ khādanīyaṃ bhojanīyaṃ paṭiyādāpetvā bhagavato kālaṃ ārocāpesi: | And when the night had passed Brahmāyu had a variety of delicious foods prepared in his own home. Then he had the Buddha informed of the time, saying: | 夜过之后,梵天达多在自己家中准备了各种美味食物。然后他派人通知佛陀时间,说: |
| “kālo, bho gotama, niṭṭhitaṃ bhattan”ti. | “Itʼs time, Master Gotama, the meal is ready.” | “乔达摩大师,时间到了,斋饭已备好。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena brahmāyussa brāhmaṇassa nivesanaṃ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṅghena. | Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went to the home of the brahmin Brahmāyu, where he sat on the seat spread out, together with the Saṅgha of monks. | 于是佛陀早上穿上僧袍,带着钵和袈裟,前往婆罗门梵天达多家中,与众比丘僧伽一起坐在铺好的座位上。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo sattāhaṃ buddhappamukhaṃ bhikkhusaṅghaṃ paṇītena khādanīyena bhojanīyena sahatthā santappesi sampavāresi. | Then Brahmāyu served and satisfied the monk Saṅgha headed by the Buddha with his own hands with a variety of delicious foods. | 于是梵天达多亲手供养并满足了以佛陀为首的比丘僧伽各种美味食物。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā tassa sattāhassa accayena videhesu cārikaṃ pakkāmi. | A week later, the Buddha departed to wander in the Videhan lands. | 一周后,佛陀离开,在毗提诃国游方。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo acirapakkantassa bhagavato kālamakāsi. | Not long after the Buddha left, Brahmāyu passed away. | 佛陀离开后不久,梵天达多便去世了。 |
| Atha kho sambahulā bhikkhū yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu. Ekamantaṃ nisinnā kho te bhikkhū bhagavantaṃ etadavocuṃ: | Then several monks went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: | 于是几位比丘来到佛陀处,合掌,坐到一边,对他说: |
| “brahmāyu, bhante, brāhmaṇo kālaṅkato. | “Sir, Brahmāyu has passed away. | “先生,梵天达多已经去世了。 |
| Tassa kā gati, ko abhisamparāyo”ti? | Where has he been reborn in his next life?” | 他来世投生何处?” |
| “Paṇḍito, bhikkhave, brahmāyu brāhmaṇo paccapādi dhammassānudhammaṃ, na ca maṃ dhammādhikaraṇaṃ vihesesi. | “monks, the brahmin Brahmāyu was astute. He practiced in line with the Dharmas, and did not trouble me about the Dharmas. | “比丘们,婆罗门梵天达多很聪明。他按照教义修行,没有因为教义而困扰我。 |
| Brahmāyu, bhikkhave, brāhmaṇo pañcannaṃ orambhāgiyānaṃ saṃyojanānaṃ parikkhayā opapātiko hoti, tattha parinibbāyī, anāvattidhammo tasmā lokā”ti. | With the ending of the five lower fetters, he’s been reborn spontaneously and will become nirvana'd there, not liable to return from that world.” | 随着五下分结的断尽,他已自然往生,并将在此地涅槃,不再从那个世界返回。” |
| Idamavoca bhagavā. | That is what the Buddha said. | 佛陀就是这样说的。 |
| Attamanā te bhikkhū bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinandunti. | Satisfied, the monks were happy with what the Buddha said. | 比丘们感到满意,并对佛陀所说的感到高兴。 |

| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā aṅguttarāpesu cārikaṃ caramāno mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ aḍḍhateḷasehi bhikkhusatehi yena āpaṇaṃ nāma aṅguttarāpānaṃ nigamo tadavasari. | At one time the Buddha was wandering in the land of the Northern Āpaṇas together with a large Saṅgha of 1,250 monks when he arrived at a town of the Northern Āpaṇas named Āpaṇa. | 我曾闻如是。 |
| Assosi kho keṇiyo jaṭilo: | The matted-hair ascetic Keṇiya heard: | 一时,佛陀与一千二百五十名比丘的大僧伽在北阿波那国游方,来到北阿波那的一个名叫阿波那的小镇。 |
| “samaṇo khalu, bho, gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito aṅguttarāpesu cārikaṃ caramāno mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ aḍḍhateḷasehi bhikkhusatehi āpaṇaṃ anuppatto. | “It seems the ascetic Gotama—a Sakyan, gone forth from a Sakyan family—has arrived at Āpaṇa, together with a large Saṅgha of 1,250 monks. | 结发外道迦尼亚听闻: |
| Taṃ kho pana bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ evaṃ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato: | He has this good reputation: | “沙门乔达摩——一位释迦族的沙门,从释迦族出家——似乎已抵达阿波那,与一千二百五十名比丘的大僧伽在一起。 |
| ‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṃ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṃ buddho bhagavā’ti. | ‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those who wish to train, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’ | 他有这样的好名声: |
| So imaṃ lokaṃ sadevakaṃ samārakaṃ sabrahmakaṃ sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiṃ pajaṃ sadevamanussaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā pavedeti. | He has realized with his own insight this world—with its gods, Māras and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—and he makes it known to others. | ‘那位世尊是阿罗汉,正等正觉,明行足,善逝,世间解,无上士,调御丈夫,天人师,佛,世尊。’ |
| So dhammaṃ deseti ādikalyāṇaṃ majjhekalyāṇaṃ pariyosānakalyāṇaṃ sātthaṃ sabyañjanaṃ, kevalaparipuṇṇaṃ parisuddhaṃ brahmacariyaṃ pakāseti. | He teaches Dhamma that’s good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased. And he reveals a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure. | 他以自己的洞察力证悟了此世——连同其诸天、魔罗和梵天,以及此世的沙门、婆罗门、天人和人类——并将其告知他人。 |
| Sādhu kho pana tathārūpānaṃ arahataṃ dassanaṃ hotī”ti. | It’s good to see such perfected ones.” | 他教导的佛法在开始时是好的,在中间是好的,在结尾时也是好的,有意义且措辞优美。他揭示了一种完全圆满和纯粹的精神修行。 |
| Atha kho keṇiyo jaṭilo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. | So Keṇiya approached the Buddha and exchanged greetings with him. | 能见到这样的阿罗汉是件好事。” |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. | When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side. | 于是迦尼亚来到佛陀处,与他互致问候。 |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho keṇiyaṃ jaṭilaṃ bhagavā dhammiyā kathāya sandassesi samādapesi samuttejesi sampahaṃsesi. | The Buddha educated, encouraged, fired up, and inspired him with a Dhamma talk. | 问候和礼貌的交谈结束后,他坐到一边。 |
| Atha kho keṇiyo jaṭilo bhagavatā dhammiyā kathāya sandassito samādapito samuttejito sampahaṃsito bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then he said to the Buddha: | 佛陀以佛法开示教导、鼓励、激励、启发他。 |
| “adhivāsetu me bhavaṃ gotamo svātanāya bhattaṃ saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṅghenā”ti. | “Would Master Gotama together with the monk Saṅgha please accept tomorrow’s meal from me?” | 然后他对佛陀说: |
| Evaṃ vutte, bhagavā keṇiyaṃ jaṭilaṃ etadavoca: | When he said this, the Buddha said to him: | “乔达摩大师和僧伽明天能否接受我的供养?” |
| “mahā kho, keṇiya, bhikkhusaṅgho aḍḍhateḷasāni bhikkhusatāni, tvañca brāhmaṇesu abhippasanno”ti. | “The Saṅgha is large, Keṇiya; there are 1,250 monks. And you are devoted to the brahmins.” | 他说完后,佛陀对他说: |
| “僧伽人数众多,迦尼亚;有一千二百五十名比丘。而且你对婆罗门很虔诚。” | ||
| Dutiyampi kho keṇiyo jaṭilo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “kiñcāpi kho, bho gotama, mahā bhikkhusaṅgho aḍḍhateḷasāni bhikkhusatāni, ahañca brāhmaṇesu abhippasanno; adhivāsetu me bhavaṃ gotamo svātanāya bhattaṃ saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṅghenā”ti. Dutiyampi kho bhagavā keṇiyaṃ jaṭilaṃ etadavoca: “mahā kho, keṇiya, bhikkhusaṅgho aḍḍhateḷasāni bhikkhusatāni, tvañca brāhmaṇesu abhippasanno”ti. |
For a second time … | 第二次…… |
| Tatiyampi kho keṇiyo jaṭilo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “kiñcāpi kho, bho gotama, mahā bhikkhusaṅgho aḍḍhateḷasāni bhikkhusatāni, ahañca brāhmaṇesu abhippasanno; adhivāsetu me bhavaṃ gotamo svātanāya bhattaṃ saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṅghenā”ti. |
and a third time Keṇiya asked the Buddha to accept a meal offering. | 第三次,迦尼亚请求佛陀接受供养。 |
| Adhivāsesi bhagavā tuṇhībhāvena. | Finally, the Buddha consented in silence. | 最后,佛陀默许了。 |
| Atha kho keṇiyo jaṭilo bhagavato adhivāsanaṃ viditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā yena sako assamo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā mittāmacce ñātisālohite āmantesi: | Then, knowing that the Buddha had accepted, Keṇiya got up from his seat and went to his own hermitage. There he addressed his friends and colleagues, relatives and family members: | 于是,迦尼亚知道佛陀已接受,便从座位上站起来,回到自己的隐修处。在那里,他对他的朋友、同事、亲戚和家人说: |
| “suṇantu me bhonto, mittāmaccā ñātisālohitā; | “Gentlemen, please listen. | “诸位,请听。 |
| samaṇo me gotamo nimantito svātanāya bhattaṃ saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṃghena. | The ascetic Gotama together with the monk Saṅgha has been invited by me for tomorrow’s meal. | 沙门乔达摩和僧伽已被我邀请明天用餐。 |
| Yena me kāyaveyyāvaṭikaṃ kareyyāthā”ti. | Please help me with the preparations.” | 请帮助我准备。” |
| “Evaṃ, bho”ti kho keṇiyassa jaṭilassa mittāmaccā ñātisālohitā keṇiyassa jaṭilassa paṭissutvā appekacce uddhanāni khaṇanti, appekacce kaṭṭhāni phālenti, appekacce bhājanāni dhovanti, appekacce udakamaṇikaṃ patiṭṭhāpenti, appekacce āsanāni paññapenti. | “Yes, sir,” they replied. Some dug ovens, some chopped wood, some washed dishes, some set out a water jar, and some spread out seats. | “好的,先生。”他们回答。有些人挖炉灶,有些人砍柴,有些人洗碗,有些人摆放水壶,有些人铺设座位。 |
| Keṇiyo pana jaṭilo sāmaṃyeva maṇḍalamālaṃ paṭiyādeti. | Meanwhile, Keṇiya set up the pavilion himself. | 同时,迦尼亚亲自搭建了凉亭。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena selo brāhmaṇo āpaṇe paṭivasati tiṇṇaṃ vedānaṃ pāragū sanighaṇḍukeṭubhānaṃ sākkharappabhedānaṃ itihāsapañcamānaṃ, padako, veyyākaraṇo, lokāyatamahāpurisalakkhaṇesu anavayo, tīṇi ca māṇavakasatāni mante vāceti. | Now at that time the brahmin Sela was residing in Āpaṇa. He was an expert in the three Vedas, together with their vocabularies, ritual, phonology and etymology, and the testament as fifth. He knew philology and grammar, and was well versed in cosmology and the marks of a great man. And he was teaching three hundred students to recite the hymns. | 那时,婆罗门色拉住在阿波那。他精通三吠陀,连同其词汇、仪式、语音学和词源学,并以第五的契经。他精通语文学和语法,并且精通宇宙学和大丈夫相。他教导三百名学生背诵圣歌。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena keṇiyo jaṭilo sele brāhmaṇe abhippasanno hoti. | Now at that time Keṇiya was devoted to Sela. | 那时迦尼亚对色拉很虔诚。 |
| Atha kho selo brāhmaṇo tīhi māṇavakasatehi parivuto jaṅghāvihāraṃ anucaṅkamamāno anuvicaramāno yena keṇiyassa jaṭilassa assamo tenupasaṅkami. | Then Sela, while going for a walk escorted by the three hundred students, approached Keṇiya’s hermitage. | 于是色拉在三百名学生的陪同下散步,来到迦尼亚的隐修处。 |
| Addasā kho selo brāhmaṇo keṇiyassa jaṭilassa assame appekacce uddhanāni khaṇante, appekacce kaṭṭhāni phālente, appekacce bhājanāni dhovante, appekacce udakamaṇikaṃ patiṭṭhāpente, appekacce āsanāni paññapente, keṇiyaṃ pana jaṭilaṃ sāmaṃyeva maṇḍalamālaṃ paṭiyādentaṃ. | He saw the preparations going on, | 他看到正在进行的准备工作, |
| Disvāna keṇiyaṃ jaṭilaṃ etadavoca: | and said to Keṇiya: | 于是对迦尼亚说: |
| “kiṃ nu bhoto keṇiyassa āvāho vā bhavissati vivāho vā bhavissati mahāyañño vā paccupaṭṭhito, rājā vā māgadho seniyo bimbisāro nimantito svātanāya saddhiṃ balakāyenā”ti? | “Keṇiya, is your son or daughter being married? Or are you setting up a big sacrifice? Or has King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha been invited for tomorrow’s meal?” | “迦尼亚,你的儿子或女儿要结婚吗?或者你要举行一场大型祭祀?或者摩揭陀国斯尼亚·宾比萨拉王已被邀请明天用餐?” |
| “Na me, bho sela, āvāho bhavissati napi vivāho bhavissati napi rājā māgadho seniyo bimbisāro nimantito svātanāya saddhiṃ balakāyena; | “There is no marriage, Sela, and the king is not coming. | “没有结婚,色拉,国王也不会来。 |
| api ca kho me mahāyañño paccupaṭṭhito. | Rather, I am setting up a big sacrifice. | 相反,我正在举行一场大型祭祀。 |
| Atthi, bho, samaṇo gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito aṅguttarāpesu cārikaṃ caramāno mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṃ aḍḍhateḷasehi bhikkhusatehi āpaṇaṃ anuppatto. | The ascetic Gotama has arrived at Āpaṇa, together with a large Saṅgha of 1,250 monks. | 沙门乔达摩已抵达阿波那,与一千二百五十名比丘的大僧伽在一起。 |
| Taṃ kho pana bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ evaṃ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato: | He has this good reputation: | 他有这样的好名声: |
| ‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṃ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṃ buddho bhagavā’ti. | ‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those who wish to train, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’ | ‘那位世尊是阿罗汉,正等正觉,明行足,善逝,世间解,无上士,调御丈夫,天人师,佛,世尊。’ |
| So me nimantito svātanāya bhattaṃ saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṅghenā”ti. | He has been invited by me for tomorrow’s meal together with the monk Saṅgha.” | 他已被我邀请明天与僧伽一起用餐。” |
| “Buddhoti—bho keṇiya, vadesi”? | “Mister Keṇiya, did you say ‘the awakened one’?” | “迦尼亚先生,你说的是‘觉悟者’吗?” |
| “Buddhoti—bho sela, vadāmi”. | “I said ‘the awakened one’.” | “我说的是‘觉悟者’。” |
| “Buddhoti—bho keṇiya, vadesi”? | “Did you say ‘the awakened one’?” | “你说的是‘觉悟者’吗?” |
| “Buddhoti—bho sela, vadāmī”ti. | “I said ‘the awakened one’.” | “我说的是‘觉悟者’。” |
| Atha kho selassa brāhmaṇassa etadahosi: | Then Sela thought: | 色拉于是心想: |
| “ghosopi kho eso dullabho lokasmiṃ—yadidaṃ ‘buddho’ti. | “It’s hard to even find the word ‘awakened one’ in the world. | “世间连‘觉悟者’这个词都很难找到。 |
| Āgatāni kho panamhākaṃ mantesu dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni, yehi samannāgatassa mahāpurisassa dveyeva gatiyo bhavanti anaññā. | The thirty-two marks of a great man have been handed down in our hymns. A great man who possesses these has only two possible destinies, no other. | 我们赞颂的圣歌中流传着三十二大丈夫相。一个拥有这些相的伟人只有两种可能的命运,没有其他。 |
| Sace agāraṃ ajjhāvasati, rājā hoti cakkavattī dhammiko dhammarājā cāturanto vijitāvī janapadatthāvariyappatto sattaratanasamannāgato. | If he stays at home he becomes a king, a wheel-turning monarch, a just and Dharmic king. His dominion extends to all four sides, he achieves stability in the country, and he possesses the seven treasures. | 如果他留在家里,他就会成为国王,转轮圣王,一位公正而有原则的国王。他的统治范围遍及四方,他在国内取得了稳定,并拥有七宝。 |
| Tassimāni satta ratanāni bhavanti, seyyathidaṃ— | He has the following seven treasures: | 他拥有以下七宝: |
| cakkaratanaṃ, hatthiratanaṃ, assaratanaṃ, maṇiratanaṃ, itthiratanaṃ, gahapatiratanaṃ, pariṇāyakaratanameva sattamaṃ. | the wheel, the elephant, the horse, the jewel, the woman, the treasurer, and the counselor as the seventh treasure. | 轮宝、象宝、马宝、珠宝、女宝、居士宝和第七的将士宝。 |
| Parosahassaṃ kho panassa puttā bhavanti sūrā vīraṅgarūpā parasenappamaddanā. | He has over a thousand sons who are valiant and heroic, crushing the armies of his enemies. | 他有一千多个儿子,他们勇猛善战,击溃敌人的军队。 |
| So imaṃ pathaviṃ sāgarapariyantaṃ adaṇḍena asatthena dhammena abhivijiya ajjhāvasati. | After conquering this land girt by sea, he reigns by dharma, without rod or sword. | 征服了这片被海洋环绕的土地后,他以原则统治,不持棍棒或刀剑。 |
| Sace pana agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajati, arahaṃ hoti sammāsambuddho loke vivaṭṭacchado”. | But if he goes forth from the lay life to homelessness, he becomes a perfected one, a fully awakened Buddha, who draws back the veil from the world.” | 但如果他出家离家,他就会成为阿罗汉,一位正等正觉,揭开世界面纱的人。” |
| “Kahaṃ pana, bho keṇiya, etarahi so bhavaṃ gotamo viharati arahaṃ sammāsambuddho”ti? | “But Keṇiya, where is the Blessed One at present, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha?” | “但是迦尼亚,那位世尊、阿罗汉、正等正觉,现在在哪里?” |
| Evaṃ vutte, keṇiyo jaṭilo dakkhiṇaṃ bāhuṃ paggahetvā selaṃ brāhmaṇaṃ etadavoca: | When he said this, Keṇiya pointed with his right arm and said: | 他说完后,迦尼亚用右臂指着说: |
| “yenesā, bho sela, nīlavanarājī”ti. | “There, Mister Sela, at that line of blue forest.” | “在那里,色拉先生,在那片蓝色的森林边。” |
| Atha kho selo brāhmaṇo tīhi māṇavakasatehi saddhiṃ yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami. | Then Sela, together with his students, approached the Buddha. | 于是色拉和他的学生们来到佛陀处。 |
| Atha kho selo brāhmaṇo te māṇavake āmantesi: | He said to his students: | 他对他的学生们说: |
| “appasaddā bhonto āgacchantu pade padaṃ nikkhipantā; | “Come quietly, gentlemen, tread carefully. | “诸位,请轻声走,小心翼翼。 |
| durāsadā hi te bhagavanto sīhāva ekacarā. | For the Buddhas are hard to attack, like a lion living alone. | 因为佛陀难以攻击,就像独自生活的狮子。 |
| Yadā cāhaṃ, bho, samaṇena gotamena saddhiṃ manteyyaṃ, mā me bhonto antarantarā kathaṃ opātetha. | When I’m consulting with the ascetic Gotama, don’t interrupt. | 当我与沙门乔达摩商议时,不要打断。 |
| Kathāpariyosānaṃ me bhavanto āgamentū”ti. | Wait until I’ve finished speaking.” | 等我说完。” |
| Atha kho selo brāhmaṇo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. | Then Sela went up to the Buddha, and exchanged greetings with him. | 于是色拉来到佛陀处,与他互致问候。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. | When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side, | 问候和礼貌的交谈结束后,他坐到一边, |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho selo brāhmaṇo bhagavato kāye dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni samannesi. | and scrutinized the Buddha’s body for the thirty-two marks of a great man. | 仔细审视佛陀身体上的三十二大丈夫相。 |
| Addasā kho selo brāhmaṇo bhagavato kāye dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni, yebhuyyena ṭhapetvā dve. | He saw all of them except for two, | 他看到了所有相,除了两相, |
| Dvīsu mahāpurisalakkhaṇesu kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati— | which he had doubts about: | 他对此有疑问: |
| kosohite ca vatthaguyhe pahūtajivhatāya ca. | whether the private parts are retracted, and the largeness of the tongue. | 私处是否隐匿,以及舌头的大小。 |
| Atha kho bhagavato etadahosi: | Then it occurred to the Buddha: | 那时佛陀心想: |
| “passati kho me ayaṃ selo brāhmaṇo dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni, yebhuyyena ṭhapetvā dve. | “Sela sees all the marks except for two, | “色拉看到了所有相,除了两相, |
| Dvīsu mahāpurisalakkhaṇesu kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati— | which he has doubts about: | 他对此有疑问: |
| kosohite ca vatthaguyhe pahūtajivhatāya cā”ti. | whether the private parts are retracted, and the largeness of the tongue.” | 私处是否隐匿,以及舌头的大小。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā tathārūpaṃ iddhābhisaṅkhāraṃ abhisaṅkhāsi, yathā addasa selo brāhmaṇo bhagavato kosohitaṃ vatthaguyhaṃ. | Then the Buddha used his psychic power to will that Sela would see his retracted private parts. | 于是佛陀运用神通,让色拉看到了他隐匿的私处。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā jivhaṃ ninnāmetvā ubhopi kaṇṇasotāni anumasi paṭimasi; ubhopi nāsikasotāni anumasi paṭimasi; kevalampi nalāṭamaṇḍalaṃ jivhāya chādesi. | And he stuck out his tongue and stroked back and forth on his ear holes and nostrils, and covered his entire forehead with his tongue. | 他伸出舌头,来回舔拭他的耳孔和鼻孔,并用舌头覆盖了他整个前额。 |
| Atha kho selassa brāhmaṇassa etadahosi: | Then Sela thought: | 于是色拉心想: |
| “samannāgato kho samaṇo gotamo dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇehi paripuṇṇehi, no aparipuṇṇehi; | “The ascetic Gotama possesses the thirty-two marks completely, lacking none. | “沙门乔达摩拥有完整的三十二大丈夫相,无一欠缺。 |
| no ca kho naṃ jānāmi buddho vā no vā. | But I don’t know whether or not he is an awakened one. | 但我不知道他是否是觉悟者。 |
| Sutaṃ kho pana metaṃ brāhmaṇānaṃ vuddhānaṃ mahallakānaṃ ācariyapācariyānaṃ bhāsamānānaṃ: | I have heard that brahmins of the past who were elderly and senior, the teachers of teachers, said: | 我曾听闻过去的年老资深婆罗门,即老师的老师们说: |
| ‘ye te bhavanti arahanto sammāsambuddhā te sake vaṇṇe bhaññamāne attānaṃ pātukarontī’ti. | ‘Those who are perfected ones, fully awakened Buddhas reveal themselves when praised.’ | ‘那些阿罗汉,正等正觉,在被赞美时会显露自己。’ |
| Yannūnāhaṃ samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ sammukhā sāruppāhi gāthāhi abhitthaveyyan”ti. | Why don’t I extoll him in his presence with appropriate verses?” | 我为什么不当着他的面以适当的偈语赞美他呢?” |
| Atha kho selo brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ sammukhā sāruppāhi gāthāhi abhitthavi: | Then Sela extolled the Buddha in his presence with appropriate verses: | 于是色拉当着佛陀的面以适当的偈语赞美他: |
| “Paripuṇṇakāyo suruci, | “O Blessed One, your body’s perfect, | “哦,世尊,您的身体完美无瑕, |
| Sujāto cārudassano; | you’re radiant, handsome, lovely to behold; | 您光彩照人,英俊,令人赏心悦目; |

| “Svākkhātaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, (selāti bhagavā) | “The spiritual life is well explained,” said the Buddha, | 佛陀说:“清净的生活已善为解说, |
| Sandiṭṭhikamakālikaṃ; | “Realizable in this very life, immediately effective. | 此生即可实现,立竿见影。 |

| Alattha kho selo brāhmaṇo sapariso bhagavato santike pabbajjaṃ, alattha upasampadaṃ. | And the brahmin Sela together with his assembly received the going forth, the ordination in the Buddha’s presence. | 于是婆罗门色拉和他的随从在佛陀座下出家受戒。 |
| Atha kho keṇiyo jaṭilo tassā rattiyā accayena sake assame paṇītaṃ khādanīyaṃ bhojanīyaṃ paṭiyādāpetvā bhagavato kālaṃ ārocāpesi: | And when the night had passed Keṇiya had a variety of delicious foods prepared in his own home. Then he had the Buddha informed of the time, saying: | 夜晚过后,迦尼亚在自己家中准备了各种美味佳肴。然后他派人通知佛陀时间,说: |
| “kālo, bho gotama, niṭṭhitaṃ bhattan”ti. | “Itʼs time, Master Gotama, the meal is ready.” | “乔达摩大师,时间到了,斋饭已备好。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena keṇiyassa jaṭilassa assamo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṅghena. | Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went to Keṇiya’s hermitage, where he sat on the seat spread out, together with the Saṅgha of monks. | 于是佛陀早上穿上僧袍,带着钵和袈裟,前往迦尼亚的隐修处,与众比丘僧伽一同坐在铺好的座位上。 |
| Atha kho keṇiyo jaṭilo buddhappamukhaṃ bhikkhusaṅghaṃ paṇītena khādanīyena bhojanīyena sahatthā santappesi, sampavāresi. | Then Keṇiya served and satisfied the monk Saṅgha headed by the Buddha with his own hands with a variety of delicious foods. | 于是迦尼亚亲手供养并满足了以佛陀为首的比丘僧伽各种美味佳肴。 |
| Atha kho keṇiyo jaṭilo bhagavantaṃ bhuttāviṃ onītapattapāṇiṃ aññataraṃ nīcaṃ āsanaṃ gahetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. | When the Buddha had eaten and washed his hand and bowl, Keṇiya took a low seat and sat to one side. | 佛陀用餐完毕,洗净手和钵后,迦尼亚取一低座,坐在一旁。 |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho keṇiyaṃ jaṭilaṃ bhagavā imāhi gāthāhi anumodi: | The Buddha expressed his appreciation with these verses: | 佛陀以这些偈语表示感谢: |
| “Aggihuttamukhā yaññā, | “The foremost of sacrifices is offering to the sacred flame; | “供养圣火是祭祀之首; |

| Atha kho bhagavā keṇiyaṃ jaṭilaṃ imāhi gāthāhi anumoditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkāmi. | When the Buddha had expressed his appreciation to Keṇiya the matted-hair ascetic with these verses, he got up from his seat and left. | 佛陀以这些偈语向结发外道迦尼亚表示感谢后,便从座位上起身离开了。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā selo sapariso eko vūpakaṭṭho appamatto ātāpī pahitatto viharanto nacirasseva—yassatthāya kulaputtā sammadeva agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajanti, tadanuttaraṃ—brahmacariyapariyosānaṃ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja vihāsi. | Then Venerable Sela and his assembly, living alone, withdrawn, assiduous, ardent, and resolute, soon realized the supreme end of the spiritual path in this very life. They lived having achieved with their own insight the goal for which people from good families rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness. | 尊者色拉和他的僧团,独自隐居,精进不懈,敏锐坚定,很快就在此生证得了梵行的最高境界。他们以自己的洞察力,实现了善家子弟理应从在家生活出家、过无家生活的目的。 |
| “Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā”ti abbhaññāsi. | They understood: “Rebirth is ended; the spiritual journey has been completed; what had to be done has been done; there is no return to any state of existence.” | 他们明白:“轮回已尽;梵行已完成;应做之事已做;不再回到任何存在状态。” |
| Aññataro kho panāyasmā selo sapariso arahataṃ ahosi. | And Venerable Sela together with his assembly became perfected. | 尊者色拉和他的僧团都成了阿罗汉。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā selo sapariso yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā ekaṃsaṃ cīvaraṃ katvā yena bhagavā tenañjaliṃ paṇāmetvā bhagavantaṃ gāthāhi ajjhabhāsi: | Then Sela with his assembly went to see the Buddha. He arranged his robe over one shoulder, raised his joined palms toward the Buddha, and said: | 于是色拉和他的僧团去见佛陀。他将僧袍披在一肩,合掌向佛陀,然后说: |
| “Yaṃ taṃ saraṇamāgamma, | “This is the eighth day since | “贤者啊,这是我们皈依以来的第八天。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾闻如是。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. | 一时,佛陀住在舍卫城只陀林,给孤独园。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena nānāverajjakānaṃ brāhmaṇānaṃ pañcamattāni brāhmaṇasatāni sāvatthiyaṃ paṭivasanti kenacideva karaṇīyena. | Now at that time around five hundred brahmins from abroad were residing in Sāvatthī on some business. | 那时,大约有五百名来自国外的婆罗门因事住在舍卫城。 |
| Atha kho tesaṃ brāhmaṇānaṃ etadahosi: | Then those brahmins thought: | 于是那些婆罗门心想: |
| “ayaṃ kho samaṇo gotamo cātuvaṇṇiṃ suddhiṃ paññapeti. | “This ascetic Gotama advocates purification for all four classes. | “这位沙门乔达摩提倡所有四种姓的净化。 |
| Ko nu kho pahoti samaṇena gotamena saddhiṃ asmiṃ vacane paṭimantetun”ti? | Who is capable of having a dialogue with him about this?” | 谁有能力与他讨论这个问题呢?” |
| Tena kho pana samayena assalāyano nāma māṇavo sāvatthiyaṃ paṭivasati daharo, vuttasiro, soḷasavassuddesiko jātiyā, tiṇṇaṃ vedānaṃ pāragū sanighaṇḍukeṭubhānaṃ sākkharappabhedānaṃ itihāsapañcamānaṃ, padako, veyyākaraṇo, lokāyatamahāpurisalakkhaṇesu anavayo. | Now at that time the brahmin student Assalāyana was residing in Sāvatthī. He was young, just tonsured; he was sixteen years old. He was an expert in the three Vedas, together with their vocabularies, ritual, phonology and etymology, and the testament as fifth. He knew philology and grammar, and was well versed in cosmology and the marks of a great man. | 那时,婆罗门学生阿萨罗耶那住在舍卫城。他年轻,刚剃度;他十六岁。他精通三吠陀,连同其词汇、仪式、语音学和词源学,并以第五的契经。他精通语文学和语法,并且精通宇宙学和大丈夫相。 |
| Atha kho tesaṃ brāhmaṇānaṃ etadahosi: “ayaṃ kho assalāyano māṇavo sāvatthiyaṃ paṭivasati daharo, vuttasiro, soḷasavassuddesiko jātiyā, tiṇṇaṃ vedānaṃ pāragū … pe … anavayo. |
Then those brahmins thought: | 于是那些婆罗门心想: |
| So kho pahoti samaṇena gotamena saddhiṃ asmiṃ vacane paṭimantetun”ti. | “This Assalāyana is capable of having a dialogue with the ascetic Gotama about this.” | “这个阿萨罗耶那有能力与沙门乔达摩讨论这个问题。” |
| Atha kho te brāhmaṇā yena assalāyano māṇavo tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā assalāyanaṃ māṇavaṃ etadavocuṃ: | So they approached Assalāyana and said to him: | 于是他们来到阿萨罗耶那处,对他说: |
| “ayaṃ, bho assalāyana, samaṇo gotamo cātuvaṇṇiṃ suddhiṃ paññapeti. | “This ascetic Gotama advocates purification for all four classes. | “这位沙门乔达摩提倡所有四种姓的净化。 |
| Etu bhavaṃ assalāyano samaṇena gotamena saddhiṃ asmiṃ vacane paṭimantetū”ti. | Please, Mister Assalāyana, have a dialogue with the ascetic Gotama about this.” | 请阿萨罗耶那先生与沙门乔达摩讨论这个问题。” |
| Evaṃ vutte, assalāyano māṇavo te brāhmaṇe etadavoca: | When they said this, Assalāyana said to them: | 他们说完后,阿萨罗耶那对他们说: |
| “samaṇo khalu, bho, gotamo dhammavādī; | “They say that the ascetic Gotama is a speaker of dharma. | “他们说沙门乔达摩是说法者。 |
| dhammavādino ca pana duppaṭimantiyā bhavanti. | But speakers of dharma are hard to have a dialogue with. | 但是说法者很难与之对话。 |
| Nāhaṃ sakkomi samaṇena gotamena saddhiṃ asmiṃ vacane paṭimantetun”ti. | I’m not capable of having a dialogue with the ascetic Gotama about this.” | 我没有能力与沙门乔达摩讨论这个问题。” |
| Dutiyampi kho te brāhmaṇā assalāyanaṃ māṇavaṃ etadavocuṃ: | For a second time, those brahmins said to him: | 那些婆罗门第二次对他说: |
| “ayaṃ, bho assalāyana, samaṇo gotamo cātuvaṇṇiṃ suddhiṃ paññapeti. | “This ascetic Gotama advocates purification for all four classes. | “这位沙门乔达摩提倡所有四种姓的净化。 |
| Etu bhavaṃ assalāyano samaṇena gotamena saddhiṃ asmiṃ vacane paṭimantetu. | Please, Mister Assalāyana, have a dialogue with the ascetic Gotama about this. | 请阿萨罗耶那先生与沙门乔达摩讨论这个问题。 |
| Caritaṃ kho pana bhotā assalāyanena paribbājakan”ti. | For you have lived as a wanderer.” | 因为你曾是游方者。” |
| Dutiyampi kho assalāyano māṇavo te brāhmaṇe etadavoca: “samaṇo khalu, bho, gotamo dhammavādī; dhammavādino ca pana duppaṭimantiyā bhavanti. Nāhaṃ sakkomi samaṇena gotamena saddhiṃ asmiṃ vacane paṭimantetun”ti. |
And for a second time, Assalāyana refused. | 阿萨罗耶那第二次拒绝了。 |
| Tatiyampi kho te brāhmaṇā assalāyanaṃ māṇavaṃ etadavocuṃ: | For a third time, those brahmins said to him: | 那些婆罗门第三次对他说: |
| “ayaṃ, bho assalāyana, samaṇo gotamo cātuvaṇṇiṃ suddhiṃ paññapeti. | “This ascetic Gotama advocates purification for all four classes. | “这位沙门乔达摩提倡所有四种姓的净化。 |
| Etu bhavaṃ assalāyano samaṇena gotamena saddhiṃ asmiṃ vacane paṭimantetu. | Please, Mister Assalāyana, have a dialogue with the ascetic Gotama about this. | 请阿萨罗耶那先生与沙门乔达摩讨论这个问题。 |
| Caritaṃ kho pana bhotā assalāyanena paribbājakaṃ. | For you have lived as a wanderer. | 因为你曾是游方者。 |
| Mā bhavaṃ assalāyano ayuddhaparājitaṃ parājayī”ti. | Don’t admit defeat before going into battle!” | 不要在战斗前认输!” |
| Evaṃ vutte, assalāyano māṇavo te brāhmaṇe etadavoca: | When they said this, Assalāyana said to them: | 他们说完后,阿萨罗耶那对他们说: |
| “addhā kho ahaṃ bhavanto na labhāmi. | “Clearly, gentlemen, I’m not getting through to you when I say: | “诸位,显然我说的话没有让你们明白: |
| Samaṇo khalu, bho, gotamo dhammavādī; | ‘They say that the ascetic Gotama is a speaker of dharma. | ‘他们说沙门乔达摩是说法者。 |
| dhammavādino ca pana duppaṭimantiyā bhavanti. | But speakers of dharma are hard to have a dialogue with. | 但是说法者很难与之对话。 |
| Nāhaṃ sakkomi samaṇena gotamena saddhiṃ asmiṃ vacane paṭimantetunti. | I’m not capable of having a dialogue with the ascetic Gotama about this.’ | 我没有能力与沙门乔达摩讨论这个问题。’ |
| Api cāhaṃ bhavantānaṃ vacanena gamissāmī”ti. | Nevertheless, I shall go at your bidding.” | 尽管如此,我还是会按照你们的吩咐去。” |
| Atha kho assalāyano māṇavo mahatā brāhmaṇagaṇena saddhiṃ yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. | Then Assalāyana together with a large group of brahmins went to the Buddha and exchanged greetings with him. | 于是阿萨罗耶那带着一大群婆罗门来到佛陀处,与他互致问候。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho assalāyano māṇavo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha: | 问候和礼貌的交谈结束后,他坐到一边,对佛陀说: |
| “brāhmaṇā, bho gotama, evamāhaṃsu: | “Master Gotama, the brahmins say: | “乔达摩大师,婆罗门们说: |
| ‘brāhmaṇova seṭṭho vaṇṇo, hīno añño vaṇṇo; | ‘Only brahmins are the highest caste; other castes are inferior. | ‘只有婆罗门是最高种姓;其他种姓低劣。 |

| brāhmaṇāva brahmuno puttā orasā mukhato jātā brahmajā brahmanimmitā brahmadāyādā’ti. | Only brahmins are Brahmā’s rightful sons, born of his mouth, born of Brahmā, created by Brahmā, heirs of Brahmā.’ | 只有婆罗门是梵天真正的儿子,从他口中出生,由梵天所生,由梵天所造,梵天的继承人。’ |
| Idha bhavaṃ gotamo kimāhā”ti? | What do you say about this?” | 您对此有何看法?” |
| “Dissanti kho pana, assalāyana, brāhmaṇānaṃ brāhmaṇiyo utuniyopi gabbhiniyopi vijāyamānāpi pāyamānāpi. | “But Assalāyana, brahmin women are seen menstruating, being pregnant, giving birth, and breastfeeding. | “但是阿萨罗耶那,婆罗门妇女被看到有月经、怀孕、分娩和哺乳。 |
| Te ca brāhmaṇiyonijāva samānā evamāhaṃsu: | Yet even though they’re born from a brahmin womb they say: | 然而即使她们出生于婆罗门之胎,他们仍然说: |

| “Kiñcāpi bhavaṃ gotamo evamāha, atha khvettha brāhmaṇā evametaṃ maññanti: ‘brāhmaṇova seṭṭho vaṇṇo, hīno añño vaṇṇo … pe … brahmadāyādā’”ti. |
“Even though you say this, still the brahmins maintain their belief.” | “即使您这么说,婆罗门们仍然坚持他们的信仰。” |
| “Taṃ kiṃ maññasi, assalāyana, | “What do you think, Assalāyana? | “阿萨罗耶那,你认为呢? |

| “Evaṃ, bho, sutaṃ taṃ me: ‘yonakambojesu aññesu ca paccantimesu janapadesu dveva vaṇṇā—ayyo ceva dāso ca; ayyo hutvā dāso hoti, dāso hutvā ayyo hotī’”ti. | “Yes, I have heard that.” | “是的,我听说过。” |

“Then what is the source of the brahmins’ self-confidence and forcefulness in this matter that they make this claim?” | “那么,婆罗门们在这件事上如此自信和强硬,他们提出这个主张的来源是什么?” |

| ekaṃ samayaṃ āyasmā udeno bārāṇasiyaṃ viharati khemiyambavane. | At one time Venerable Udena was staying near Benares in the Khemiya Mango Grove. | 一时,尊者优陀耶那住在波罗奈附近的克弥亚芒果林。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena ghoṭamukho brāhmaṇo bārāṇasiṃ anuppatto hoti kenacideva karaṇīyena. | Now at that time the brahmin Ghoṭamukha had arrived at Benares on some business. | 那时,婆罗门高塔穆卡因事抵达波罗奈。 |
| Atha kho ghoṭamukho brāhmaṇo jaṅghāvihāraṃ anucaṅkamamāno anuvicaramāno yena khemiyambavanaṃ tenupasaṅkami. | Then as he was going for a walk he went to the Khemiya Mango Grove. | 于是他散步时,前往克弥亚芒果林。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā udeno abbhokāse caṅkamati. | At that time Venerable Udena was walking meditation in the open air. | 那时,尊者优陀耶那正在露天经行。 |
| Atha kho ghoṭamukho brāhmaṇo yenāyasmā udeno tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā udenena saddhiṃ sammodi. | Ghoṭamukha approached and exchanged greetings with him. | 高塔穆卡走上前去,与他互致问候。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā āyasmantaṃ udenaṃ caṅkamantaṃ anucaṅkamamāno evamāha: | Walking alongside Udena, he said: | 他一边与优陀耶那同行,一边说: |
| “ambho samaṇa, ‘natthi dhammiko paribbajo’— | “Mister ascetic, there is no such thing as a Dharmic renunciate life; | “先生沙门,没有所谓的有原则的出家生活; |

| Tañca kho bhavantarūpānaṃ vā adassanā, yo vā panettha dhammo”ti. | And that’s without seeing gentlemen such as yourself, or a relevant teaching.” | 而且我从未见过像您这样的人,或相关的教法。” |
| Evaṃ vutte, āyasmā udeno caṅkamā orohitvā vihāraṃ pavisitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi. | When he said this, Udena stepped down from the walking path, entered his dwelling, and sat down on the seat spread out. | 他这么说时,优陀耶那从经行道上下来,进入自己的住处,坐在铺好的座位上。 |
| Ghoṭamukhopi kho brāhmaṇo caṅkamā orohitvā vihāraṃ pavisitvā ekamantaṃ aṭṭhāsi. | Ghoṭamukha also stepped down from the walking path and entered the dwelling, where he stood to one side. | 高塔穆卡也从经行道上下来,进入住处,站在一旁。 |
| Ekamantaṃ ṭhitaṃ kho ghoṭamukhaṃ brāhmaṇaṃ āyasmā udeno etadavoca: | Udena said to him: | 优陀耶那对他说: |
| “saṃvijjanti kho, brāhmaṇa, āsanāni. | “There are seats, brahmin. | “有座位,婆罗门。 |
| Sace ākaṅkhasi, nisīdā”ti. | Please sit if you wish.” | 如果您愿意,请坐。” |
| “Etadeva kho pana mayaṃ bhoto udenassa āgamayamānā nisīdāma. | “I was just waiting for you to sit down. | “我只是在等您坐下。 |
| Kathañhi nāma mādiso pubbe animantito āsane nisīditabbaṃ maññeyyā”ti? | For how could one such as I presume to sit first without being invited?” | 像我这样的人,未经邀请,怎敢先坐?” |
| Atha kho ghoṭamukho brāhmaṇo aññataraṃ nīcaṃ āsanaṃ gahetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. | Then he took a low seat and sat to one side, | 于是他取一低座,坐在一旁, |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho ghoṭamukho brāhmaṇo āyasmantaṃ udenaṃ etadavoca: | where he said: | 在那里他说: |
| “ambho samaṇa, ‘natthi dhammiko paribbajo’— | “Mister ascetic, there is no such thing as a Dharmic renunciate life; | “先生沙门,没有所谓的有原则的出家生活; |

But only if you allow what should be allowed, and reject what should be rejected. And if you ask me the meaning of anything you don’t understand, saying: | “婆罗门,我们可以讨论这个问题。但前提是你要允许应该允许的,拒绝应该拒绝的。如果你有不明白的地方,就问我意思,说: |

They lick their hands, and don’t come or wait when asked. They don’t consent to food brought to them, or food prepared on purpose for them, or an invitation for a meal. | 就是有人赤身裸体,不顾习俗。他们舔手,被叫时不来或等待。他们不接受别人送来的食物,或专门为他们准备的食物,或宴请。 |

| Vitakkavicārānaṃ vūpasamā ajjhattaṃ sampasādanaṃ cetaso ekodibhāvaṃ avitakkaṃ avicāraṃ samādhijaṃ pītisukhaṃ dutiyaṃ jhānaṃ upasampajja viharati. | As the directed-thought and evaluation are stilled, they enter and remain in the second jhāna, which has the mental-joy and pleasure born of undistractible-lucidity, with internal clarity and confidence, and unified mind, without directing-thought and evaluation. | 当寻和伺寂止后,他们进入并安住于第二禅,其中有由不散乱明晰生起的喜和乐,内心清明,自信,心一境性,没有寻和伺。 |
| Pītiyā ca virāgā upekkhako ca viharati sato ca sampajāno, sukhañca kāyena paṭisaṃvedeti, yaṃ taṃ ariyā ācikkhanti: ‘upekkhako satimā sukhavihārī’ti tatiyaṃ jhānaṃ upasampajja viharati. | And with the fading away of mental-joy, they enter and remain in the third jhāna, where they meditate with equanimous-observation, rememberful and aware, personally experiencing pleasure with the flesh and blood physical body of which the noble ones declare, ‘Equanimous and rememberful, one meditates in pleasure.’ | 随着喜的消退,他们进入并安住于第三禅,在那里他们以舍心禅修,忆念分明,觉知,亲自体验到圣者所宣称的“平等而忆念分明,安住于乐”的快乐。 |
| Sukhassa ca pahānā dukkhassa ca pahānā, pubbeva somanassadomanassānaṃ atthaṅgamā, adukkhamasukhaṃ upekkhāsatipārisuddhiṃ catutthaṃ jhānaṃ upasampajja viharati. | Giving up pleasure and pain, and ending former happiness and sadness, they enter and remain in the fourth jhāna, without pleasure or pain, with pure equanimous-observation and remembering. | 舍弃乐和苦,结束了昔日的喜悦和忧伤,他们进入并安住于第四禅,没有乐也没有苦,只有纯净的舍心和忆念。 |

They remember: ‘There, I was named this, my clan was that, I looked like this, and that was my food. This was how I felt pleasure and pain, and that was how my life ended. When I passed away from that place I was reborn somewhere else. There, too, I was named this, my clan was that, I looked like this, and that was my food. This was how I felt pleasure and pain, and that was how my life ended.

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā kosalesu cārikaṃ caramāno mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṃ yena opāsādaṃ nāma kosalānaṃ brāhmaṇagāmo tadavasari. | At one time the Buddha was wandering in the land of the Kosalans together with a large Saṅgha of monks when he arrived at a village of the Kosalan brahmins named Opāsāda. | 一时,佛陀与大比丘僧伽在憍萨罗国游行,来到憍萨罗婆罗门的一个村庄,名叫奥帕萨达。 |
| Tatra sudaṃ bhagavā opāsāde viharati uttarena opāsādaṃ devavane sālavane. | He stayed in a sal grove to the north of Opāsāda called the “Gods’ Grove”. | 他住在奥帕萨达北部一片名为“天神林”的娑罗树林中。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena caṅkī brāhmaṇo opāsādaṃ ajjhāvasati sattussadaṃ satiṇakaṭṭhodakaṃ sadhaññaṃ rājabhoggaṃ raññā pasenadinā kosalena dinnaṃ rājadāyaṃ brahmadeyyaṃ. | Now at that time the brahmin Caṅkī was living in Opāsāda. It was a crown property given by King Pasenadi of Kosala, teeming with living creatures, full of hay, wood, water, and grain, a royal endowment of the highest quality. | 当时,婆罗门昌基住在奥帕萨达。那是憍萨罗国的波塞那底国王赐予的王室地产,生机勃勃,充满干草、木材、水和谷物,是最高品质的王室恩赐。 |
| Assosuṃ kho opāsādakā brāhmaṇagahapatikā: | The brahmins and householders of Opāsāda heard: | 奥帕萨达的婆罗门和居士们听说: |
| “samaṇo khalu, bho, gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito kosalesu cārikaṃ caramāno mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṃ opāsādaṃ anuppatto, opāsāde viharati uttarena opāsādaṃ devavane sālavane. | “It seems the ascetic Gotama—a Sakyan, gone forth from a Sakyan family—has arrived at Opāsāda together with a large Saṅgha of monks. He is staying in the God’s Grove to the north. | “似乎沙门乔达摩——一个释迦族人,从释迦族家庭出家——已经来到奥帕萨达,与大比丘僧伽在一起。他住在北方的天神林中。 |
| Taṃ kho pana bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ evaṃ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato: | He has this good reputation: | 他有这样的美誉: |
| ‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṃ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṃ buddho bhagavā’ti. | ‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those who wish to train, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’ | ‘那位世尊是阿罗汉、正等正觉者、明行足、善逝、世间解、无上士、调御丈夫、天人师、佛、世尊。’ |
| So imaṃ lokaṃ sadevakaṃ samārakaṃ sabrahmakaṃ sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiṃ pajaṃ sadevamanussaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā pavedeti. | He has realized with his own insight this world—with its gods, Māras and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—and he makes it known to others. | 他以自己的洞察力证悟了此世——连同天神、魔罗和梵天,此世界连同沙门和婆罗门、天神和人类——并将其告知他人。 |
| So dhammaṃ deseti ādikalyāṇaṃ majjhekalyāṇaṃ pariyosānakalyāṇaṃ sātthaṃ sabyañjanaṃ, kevalaparipuṇṇaṃ parisuddhaṃ brahmacariyaṃ pakāseti. | He teaches Dhamma that’s good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased. And he reveals a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure. | 他教导的佛法,初善、中善、后善,意义深刻,措辞优美。他揭示的修行是完全圆满和纯净的。 |
| Sādhu kho pana tathārūpānaṃ arahataṃ dassanaṃ hotī”ti. | It’s good to see such perfected ones.” | 见到这样的圆满者是好事。” |
| Atha kho opāsādakā brāhmaṇagahapatikā opāsādā nikkhamitvā saṅghasaṅghī gaṇībhūtā uttarenamukhā gacchanti yena devavanaṃ sālavanaṃ. | Then, having departed Opāsāda, they formed into companies and headed north to the God’s Grove. | 然后,他们离开奥帕萨达,结伴北上,前往天神林。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena caṅkī brāhmaṇo uparipāsāde divāseyyaṃ upagato. | Now at that time the brahmin Caṅkī had retired to the upper floor of his stilt longhouse for his midday nap. | 当时,婆罗门昌基已退到他的高脚长屋上层午休。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrels’ feeding ground. | 一时,佛陀住在王舍城附近的竹林精舍,在松鼠饲养场。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā sāriputto dakkhiṇāgirismiṃ cārikaṃ carati mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ. | Now at that time Venerable Sāriputta was wandering in the Southern Hills together with a large Saṅgha of monks. | 那时,尊者舍利弗正与一大群比丘僧团在南方山丘游荡。 |
| Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu rājagahe vassaṃvuṭṭho yena dakkhiṇāgiri yenāyasmā sāriputto tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā sāriputtena saddhiṃ sammodi. | Then a certain monk who had completed the rainy season residence in Rājagaha went to the Southern Hills, where he approached Venerable Sāriputta, and exchanged greetings with him. | 于是,一位在王舍城完成了雨季安居的比丘去了南方山丘,在那里他走近尊者舍利弗,并与他互相问候。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho taṃ bhikkhuṃ āyasmā sāriputto etadavoca: | When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side. Sāriputta said to him: | 问候和客套话结束后,他坐到一边。舍利弗对比丘说: |
| “kaccāvuso, bhagavā arogo ca balavā cā”ti? | “Reverend, I hope the Buddha is healthy and well?” | “尊者,我希望佛陀健康安好?” |
| “Arogo cāvuso, bhagavā balavā cā”ti. | “He is, reverend.” | “是的,尊者。” |
| “Kacci panāvuso, bhikkhusaṃgho arogo ca balavā cā”ti? | “And I hope that the monk Saṅgha is healthy and well.” | “我也希望比丘僧团健康安好。” |
| “Bhikkhusaṃghopi kho, āvuso, arogo ca balavā cā”ti. | “It is.” | “是的。” |
| “Ettha, āvuso, taṇḍulapālidvārāya dhanañjāni nāma brāhmaṇo atthi. | “Reverend, at the rice checkpoint there is a brahmin named Dhanañjāni. | “尊者,在米粮检查站有一位名叫达纳加尼的婆罗门。 |
| Kaccāvuso, dhanañjāni brāhmaṇo arogo ca balavā cā”ti? | I hope that he is healthy and well?” | 我希望他健康安好?” |
| “Dhanañjānipi kho, āvuso, brāhmaṇo arogo ca balavā cā”ti. | “He too is well.” | “他也安好。” |
| “Kacci panāvuso, dhanañjāni brāhmaṇo appamatto”ti? | “But is he assiduous?” | “但他是否精进呢?” |
| “Kuto panāvuso, dhanañjānissa brāhmaṇassa appamādo? | “How could he possibly be assiduous? | “他怎么可能精进呢? |
| Dhanañjāni, āvuso, brāhmaṇo rājānaṃ nissāya brāhmaṇagahapatike vilumpati, brāhmaṇagahapatike nissāya rājānaṃ vilumpati. | Dhanañjāni robs the brahmins and householders in the name of the king, and he robs the king in the name of the brahmins and householders. | 达纳加尼以国王的名义抢劫婆罗门和居士,他又以婆罗门和居士的名义抢劫国王。 |
| Yāpissa bhariyā saddhā saddhakulā ānītā sāpi kālaṅkatā; | His wife, a lady of justifiable-trust who he married from a family of justifiable-trust, has passed away. | 他的妻子,一位从有信仰的家庭娶来的有信仰的女士,已经去世了。 |
| aññāssa bhariyā assaddhā assaddhakulā ānītā”ti. | And he has taken a new wife who has no justifiable-trust.” | 他又娶了一位没有信仰的新妻子。” |
| “Dussutaṃ vatāvuso, assumha, dussutaṃ vatāvuso, assumha; | “Oh, it’s bad news | “哦,这是个坏消息 |
| ye mayaṃ dhanañjāniṃ brāhmaṇaṃ pamattaṃ assumha. | to hear that Dhanañjāni is negligent. | 听说达纳加尼疏忽怠惰。 |
| Appeva ca nāma mayaṃ kadāci karahaci dhanañjāninā brāhmaṇena saddhiṃ samāgaccheyyāma, appeva nāma siyā kocideva kathāsallāpo”ti? | Hopefully, some time or other I’ll get to meet him, and we can have a discussion.” | 希望总有一天我能见到他,我们可以谈谈。” |
| Atha kho āyasmā sāriputto dakkhiṇāgirismiṃ yathābhirantaṃ viharitvā yena rājagahaṃ tena cārikaṃ pakkāmi. | When Sāriputta had stayed in the Southern Hills as long as he wished, he set out for Rājagaha. | 舍利弗在南方山丘随心所欲地住了一段时间后,便动身前往王舍城。 |
| Anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena rājagahaṃ tadavasari. | Traveling stage by stage, he arrived at Rājagaha, | 他一站一站地旅行,抵达王舍城, |
| Tatra sudaṃ āyasmā sāriputto rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe. | where he stayed in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrels’ feeding ground. | 住在竹林精舍,松鼠饲养场。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā sāriputto pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya rājagahaṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. | Then he robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Rājagaha for alms. | 然后他早上穿上袈裟,拿着钵和袈裟,进入王舍城乞食。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena dhanañjāni brāhmaṇo bahinagare gāvo goṭṭhe duhāpeti. | Now at that time Dhanañjāni was having his cows milked in a cow-shed outside the city. | 当时,达纳加尼正在城外的一个牛棚里挤牛奶。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā sāriputto rājagahe piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yena dhanañjāni brāhmaṇo tenupasaṅkami. | Then Sāriputta wandered for alms in Rājagaha. After the meal, on his return from alms-round, he approached Dhanañjāni. | 于是舍利弗在王舍城乞食。饭后,乞食归来,他走到达纳加尼身边。 |
| Addasā kho dhanañjāni brāhmaṇo āyasmantaṃ sāriputtaṃ dūratova āgacchantaṃ. | Seeing Sāriputta coming off in the distance, | 达纳加尼远远地看到舍利弗走来, |
| Disvāna yenāyasmā sāriputto tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṃ sāriputtaṃ etadavoca: | Dhanañjāni went to him and said: | 便走上前对他说: |
| “ito, bho sāriputta, payo, pīyataṃ tāva bhattassa kālo bhavissatī”ti. | “Here, Master Sāriputta, drink some fresh milk before the meal time.” | “尊者舍利弗,请在饭前喝些新鲜牛奶吧。” |
| “Alaṃ, brāhmaṇa. | “Enough, brahmin, | “够了,婆罗门, |
| Kataṃ me ajja bhattakiccaṃ. | I’ve finished eating for today. | 我今天已经吃完了。 |
| Amukasmiṃ me rukkhamūle divāvihāro bhavissati. | I shall be at the root of that tree for the day’s meditation. | 我将在那棵树下度过一天的禅修。 |
| Tattha āgaccheyyāsī”ti. | Come see me there.” | 来那里找我吧。” |
| “Evaṃ, bho”ti kho dhanañjāni brāhmaṇo āyasmato sāriputtassa paccassosi. | “Yes, sir,” replied Dhanañjāni. | “好的,尊者,”达纳加尼回答。 |
| Atha kho dhanañjāni brāhmaṇo pacchābhattaṃ bhuttapātarāso yenāyasmā sāriputto tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā sāriputtena saddhiṃ sammodi. | When Dhanañjāni had finished breakfast he went to Sāriputta and exchanged greetings with him. | 达纳加尼吃完早饭后,便去见舍利弗,并与他互相问候。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho dhanañjāniṃ brāhmaṇaṃ āyasmā sāriputto etadavoca: | When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side. Sāriputta said to him: | 问候和客套话结束后,他坐到一边。舍利弗对他说: |
| “kaccāsi, dhanañjāni, appamatto”ti? | “I hope you’re assiduous, Dhanañjāni?” | “达纳加尼,我希望你精进?” |
| “Kuto, bho sāriputta, amhākaṃ appamādo yesaṃ no mātāpitaro posetabbā, puttadāro posetabbo, dāsakammakarā posetabbā, mittāmaccānaṃ mittāmaccakaraṇīyaṃ kātabbaṃ, ñātisālohitānaṃ ñātisālohitakaraṇīyaṃ kātabbaṃ, atithīnaṃ atithikaraṇīyaṃ kātabbaṃ, pubbapetānaṃ pubbapetakaraṇīyaṃ kātabbaṃ, devatānaṃ devatākaraṇīyaṃ kātabbaṃ, rañño rājakaraṇīyaṃ kātabbaṃ, ayampi kāyo pīṇetabbo brūhetabbo”ti? | “How can I possibly be assiduous, Master Sāriputta? I have to provide for my mother and father, my wives and children, and my bondservants and workers. And I have to make the proper offerings to friends and colleagues, relatives and kin, guests, ancestors, deities, and king. And then this body must also be fattened and built up.” | “我怎么可能精进呢,尊者舍利弗?我必须供养我的父母、妻儿、奴仆和工人。我还要向朋友、同事、亲戚、客人、祖先、神灵和国王献上应有的供品。而且,这个身体也必须养肥养壮。” |
| “Taṃ kiṃ maññasi, dhanañjāni, | “What do you think, Dhanañjāni? | “你认为怎么样,达纳加尼? |
| idhekacco mātāpitūnaṃ hetu adhammacārī visamacārī assa, tamenaṃ adhammacariyāvisamacariyāhetu nirayaṃ nirayapālā upakaḍḍheyyuṃ. | Suppose someone was to behave in an non-Dharmic and unjust way for the sake of their parents. Because of this the wardens of hell would drag them to hell. | 假设有人为了父母而做出不道德和不公正的行为。地狱的狱卒因此会将他们拖入地狱。 |
| Labheyya nu kho so ‘ahaṃ kho mātāpitūnaṃ hetu adhammacārī visamacārī ahosiṃ, mā maṃ nirayaṃ nirayapālā’ti, mātāpitaro vā panassa labheyyuṃ ‘eso kho amhākaṃ hetu adhammacārī visamacārī ahosi, mā naṃ nirayaṃ nirayapālā’”ti? | Could they get out of being dragged to hell by pleading that they had acted for the sake of their parents? Or could their parents save them by pleading that the acts had been done for their sake?” | 他们能通过声称自己是为了父母而行动来摆脱被拖入地狱吗?或者他们的父母能通过声称这些行为是为了他们而做的来拯救他们吗?” |
| “No hidaṃ, bho sāriputta. | “No, Master Sāriputta. | “不能,尊者舍利弗。 |
| Atha kho naṃ vikkandantaṃyeva niraye nirayapālā pakkhipeyyuṃ”. | Rather, even as they were wailing the wardens of hell would cast them down into hell.” | 相反,即使他们哭嚎,地狱的狱卒也会把他们扔进地狱。” |

| Atha kho vāseṭṭho māṇavo bhāradvājaṃ māṇavaṃ āmantesi: | So Vāseṭṭha said to Bhāradvāja: | 于是瓦塞塔对巴拉德瓦贾说: |
| “ayaṃ kho, bho bhāradvāja, samaṇo gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito icchānaṅgale viharati icchānaṅgalavanasaṇḍe. | “Master Bhāradvāja, the ascetic Gotama—a Sakyan, gone forth from a Sakyan family—is staying in a forest near Icchānaṅgala. | “巴拉德瓦贾尊者,沙门乔达摩——一位释迦族的后代,从释迦族出家——正住在伊查南伽拉附近的一片森林里。 |

| Āyāma, bho bhāradvāja, yena samaṇo gotamo tenupasaṅkamissāma; upasaṅkamitvā samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ etamatthaṃ pucchissāma. | Come, let’s go to see him and ask him about this matter. | 来吧,我们去见他,问他这个问题。 |

| “Evaṃ, bho”ti kho bhāradvājo māṇavo vāseṭṭhassa māṇavassa paccassosi. | “Yes, sir,” replied Bhāradvāja. | “好的,尊者,”巴拉德瓦贾回答。 |
| Atha kho vāseṭṭhabhāradvājā māṇavā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodiṃsu. | So they went to the Buddha, and exchanged greetings with him. | 于是他们去见佛陀,并与他互相问候。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu. | When the greetings and polite conversation were over, they sat down to one side, | 问候和客套话结束后,他们坐到一边, |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā kosalesu cārikaṃ carati mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ. | At one time the Buddha was wandering in the land of the Kosalans together with a large Saṅgha of monks. | 一时,佛陀与一大群比丘僧团在拘萨罗国游化。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena dhanañjānī nāma brāhmaṇī cañcalikappe paṭivasati abhippasannā buddhe ca dhamme ca saṃghe ca. | Now at that time a brahmin lady named Dhanañjānī was residing at Caṇḍalakappa. She was devoted to the Buddha, The Dharma, and the Saṅgha. | 那时,一位名叫达纳詹尼的婆罗门女住在坎达拉卡帕。她虔诚地信仰佛陀、佛法和僧伽。 |
| Atha kho dhanañjānī brāhmaṇī upakkhalitvā tikkhattuṃ udānaṃ udānesi: | Once, she tripped and spoke these words of inspiration three times: | 有一次,她不小心跌倒了,口中三次说出这些感言: |
| “Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa. | “Homage to that Blessed One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha! | “礼敬世尊,阿罗汉,正等正觉者! |
| Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa. | Homage to that Blessed One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha! | 礼敬世尊,阿罗汉,正等正觉者! |
| Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassā”ti. | Homage to that Blessed One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha!” | 礼敬世尊,阿罗汉,正等正觉者!” |
| Tena kho pana samayena saṅgāravo nāma māṇavo cañcalikappe paṭivasati tiṇṇaṃ vedānaṃ pāragū sanighaṇḍukeṭubhānaṃ sākkharappabhedānaṃ itihāsapañcamānaṃ, padako, veyyākaraṇo, lokāyatamahāpurisalakkhaṇesu anavayo. | Now at that time the brahmin student Saṅgārava was residing in Caṇḍalakappa. He was young, just tonsured; he was sixteen years old. He was an expert in the three Vedas, together with their vocabularies, ritual, phonology and etymology, and the testament as fifth. He knew philology and grammar, and was well versed in cosmology and the marks of a great man. | 当时,婆罗门学生桑迦罗瓦住在坎达拉卡帕。他很年轻,刚剃度;他十六岁。他精通三吠陀,包括它们的词汇、仪式、语音学和词源学,以及作为第五部的圣约。他懂语文学和语法,精通宇宙学和伟人的相好。 |
| Assosi kho saṅgāravo māṇavo dhanañjāniyā brāhmaṇiyā evaṃ vācaṃ bhāsamānāya. | Hearing Dhanañjānī’s exclamation, | 听到达纳詹尼的惊呼, |
| Sutvā dhanañjāniṃ brāhmaṇiṃ etadavoca: | he said to her: | 他对她说: |
| “avabhūtāva ayaṃ dhanañjānī brāhmaṇī, parabhūtāva ayaṃ dhanañjānī brāhmaṇī, vijjamānānaṃ tevijjānaṃ brāhmaṇānaṃ, atha ca pana tassa muṇḍakassa samaṇakassa vaṇṇaṃ bhāsissatī”ti. | “The brahmin lady named Dhanañjānī is a disgrace! Though brahmins who are expert in the three Vedas are found, she praises that shaveling, that fake ascetic.” | “名叫达纳詹尼的婆罗门女真是丢脸!虽然有精通三吠陀的婆罗门,她却赞美那个剃头者,那个假沙门。” |
| “Na hi pana tvaṃ, tāta bhadramukha, tassa bhagavato sīlapaññāṇaṃ jānāsi. | “But my little dear, you don’t understand the Buddha’s ethics and wisdom. | “但是我亲爱的,你不了解佛陀的戒律和智慧。 |
| Sace tvaṃ, tāta bhadramukha, tassa bhagavato sīlapaññāṇaṃ jāneyyāsi, na tvaṃ, tāta bhadramukha, taṃ bhagavantaṃ akkositabbaṃ paribhāsitabbaṃ maññeyyāsī”ti. | If you did, you’d never think of abusing or insulting him.” | 如果你了解,你绝不会想到辱骂或侮辱他。” |
| “Tena hi, bhoti, yadā samaṇo gotamo cañcalikappaṃ anuppatto hoti atha me āroceyyāsī”ti. | “Well then, ma’am, let me know when the Buddha arrives in Caṇḍalakappa.” | “那么,夫人,当佛陀抵达坎达拉卡帕时,请告诉我。” |
| “Evaṃ, bhadramukhā”ti kho dhanañjānī brāhmaṇī saṅgāravassa māṇavassa paccassosi. | “I will, dear,” she replied. | “好的,亲爱的,”她回答。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā kosalesu anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena cañcalikappaṃ tadavasari. | And then the Buddha, traveling stage by stage in the Kosalan lands, arrived at Caṇḍalakappa, | 随后,佛陀在拘萨罗国逐站游化,抵达坎达拉卡帕, |
| Tatra sudaṃ bhagavā cañcalikappe viharati todeyyānaṃ brāhmaṇānaṃ ambavane. | where he stayed in the mango grove of the Todeyya brahmins. | 住在托德亚婆罗门的芒果林中。 |
| Assosi kho dhanañjānī brāhmaṇī: “bhagavā kira cañcalikappaṃ anuppatto, cañcalikappe viharati todeyyānaṃ brāhmaṇānaṃ ambavane”ti. | Dhanañjānī heard that he had arrived. | 达纳詹尼听说他已抵达。 |
| Atha kho dhanañjānī brāhmaṇī yena saṅgāravo māṇavo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā saṅgāravaṃ māṇavaṃ etadavoca: “ayaṃ, tāta bhadramukha, so bhagavā cañcalikappaṃ anuppatto, cañcalikappe viharati todeyyānaṃ brāhmaṇānaṃ ambavane. |
So she went to Saṅgārava and told him, adding: | 于是她去见桑迦罗瓦,告诉他,并补充说: |
| Yassadāni, tāta bhadramukha, kālaṃ maññasī”ti. | “Please, my little dear, go at your convenience.” | “请便,我亲爱的,方便时去吧。” |
| “Evaṃ, bho”ti kho saṅgāravo māṇavo dhanañjāniyā brāhmaṇiyā paṭissutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. | “Yes, ma’am,” replied Saṅgārava. He went to the Buddha and exchanged greetings with him. | “好的,夫人,”桑迦罗瓦回答。他去见佛陀,并与他互相问候。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho saṅgāravo māṇavo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha: | 问候和客套话结束后,他坐到一边,对佛陀说: |
| “Santi kho, bho gotama, eke samaṇabrāhmaṇā diṭṭhadhammābhiññāvosānapāramippattā, ādibrahmacariyaṃ paṭijānanti. | “Master Gotama, there are some ascetics and brahmins who claim to have mastered the fundamentals of the spiritual life having attained perfection and consummation of insight in the present life. | “乔达摩大师,有些沙门和婆罗门声称今生已证得梵行的基础,已达至洞察力的圆满和成就。 |
| Tatra, bho gotama, ye te samaṇabrāhmaṇā diṭṭhadhammābhiññāvosānapāramippattā, ādibrahmacariyaṃ paṭijānanti, tesaṃ bhavaṃ gotamo katamo”ti? | Where do you stand regarding these?” | 您对这些有何看法?” |
| “Diṭṭhadhammābhiññāvosānapāramippattānaṃ, ādibrahmacariyaṃ paṭijānantānampi kho ahaṃ, bhāradvāja, vemattaṃ vadāmi. | “I say there is a diversity among those who claim to have mastered the fundamentals of the spiritual life having attained perfection and consummation of insight in the present life. | “我说,那些声称今生已证得梵行基础,已达至洞察力圆满和成就的人,他们之间存在差异。 |
| Santi, bhāradvāja, eke samaṇabrāhmaṇā anussavikā. | There are some ascetics and brahmins who are oral transmitters. | 有些沙门和婆罗门是口头传授者。 |
| Te anussavena diṭṭhadhammābhiññāvosānapāramippattā, ādibrahmacariyaṃ paṭijānanti; | Through oral transmission they claim to have mastered the fundamentals of the spiritual life. | 他们通过口头传授声称已掌握梵行的基础。 |
| seyyathāpi brāhmaṇā tevijjā. | For example, the brahmins who are experts in the three Vedas. | 例如,精通三吠陀的婆罗门。 |
| Santi pana, bhāradvāja, eke samaṇabrāhmaṇā kevalaṃ saddhāmattakena diṭṭhadhammābhiññāvosānapāramippattā, ādibrahmacariyaṃ paṭijānanti; | There are some ascetics and brahmins who solely by mere justifiable-trust claim to have mastered the fundamentals of the spiritual life. | 有些沙门和婆罗门仅凭信仰,声称已掌握梵行的基础。 |
| seyyathāpi takkī vīmaṃsī. | For example, those who rely on logic and inquiry. | 例如,那些依赖逻辑和探究的人。 |
| Santi, bhāradvāja, eke samaṇabrāhmaṇā pubbe ananussutesu dhammesu sāmaṃyeva dhammaṃ abhiññāya diṭṭhadhammābhiññāvosānapāramippattā, ādibrahmacariyaṃ paṭijānanti. | There are some ascetics and brahmins who, having directly known for themselves the dharma regarding Dharmas not learned before from another, claim to have mastered the fundamentals of the spiritual life. | 有些沙门和婆罗门,对于从未从他人那里学到的教义,已亲自直接了知其原理,声称已掌握梵行的基础。 |
| Tatra, bhāradvāja, ye te samaṇabrāhmaṇā pubbe ananussutesu dhammesu sāmaṃyeva dhammaṃ abhiññāya diṭṭhadhammābhiññāvosānapāramippattā, ādibrahmacariyaṃ paṭijānanti, tesāhamasmi. | I am one of those. | 我就是其中之一。 |
| Tadamināpetaṃ, bhāradvāja, pariyāyena veditabbaṃ, yathā ye te samaṇabrāhmaṇā pubbe ananussutesu dhammesu sāmaṃyeva dhammaṃ abhiññāya diṭṭhadhammābhiññāvosānapāramippattā, ādibrahmacariyaṃ paṭijānanti, tesāhamasmi. | And here’s a way to understand that I am one of them. | 以下是了解我是其中之一的方法。 |
| Idha me, bhāradvāja, pubbeva sambodhā anabhisambuddhassa bodhisattasseva sato etadahosi: | Before my awakening—when I was still unawakened but intent on awakening—I thought: | 在我觉醒之前——当我仍未觉醒但致力于觉醒时——我想: |
| ‘sambādho gharāvāso rajāpatho, abbhokāso pabbajjā. | ‘Living in a house is cramped and dirty, but the life of one gone forth is wide open. | ‘住在家里狭窄而肮脏,而出家生活则广阔开阔。 |
| Nayidaṃ sukaraṃ agāraṃ ajjhāvasatā ekantaparipuṇṇaṃ ekantaparisuddhaṃ saṅkhalikhitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ carituṃ. | It’s not easy for someone living at home to lead the spiritual life utterly full and pure, like a polished shell. | 在家生活的人要过上完全圆满纯洁、像擦亮的贝壳一样的梵行生活并不容易。 |
| Yannūnāhaṃ kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajeyyan’ti. | Why don’t I shave off my hair and beard, dress in ocher robes, and go forth from the lay life to homelessness?’ | 我为什么不剃除头发和胡须,穿上赭色袈裟,从在家生活中出离,过无家生活呢?’ |
| So kho ahaṃ, bhāradvāja, aparena samayena daharova samāno susukāḷakeso bhadrena yobbanena samannāgato paṭhamena vayasā akāmakānaṃ mātāpitūnaṃ assumukhānaṃ rudantānaṃ kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajiṃ. | Some time later, while still black-haired, blessed with youth, in the prime of life—though my mother and father wished otherwise, weeping with tearful faces—I shaved off my hair and beard, dressed in ocher robes, and went forth from the lay life to homelessness. | 一段时间后,我仍是黑发,青春年少,风华正茂——尽管我的父母不愿如此,哭泣着泪流满面——我剃除了头发和胡须,穿上赭色袈裟,从在家生活中出离,过无家生活。 |
| So evaṃ pabbajito samāno kiṅkusalagavesī anuttaraṃ santivarapadaṃ pariyesamāno yena āḷāro kālāmo tenupasaṅkamiṃ; upasaṅkamitvā āḷāraṃ kālāmaṃ etadavocaṃ: | Once I had gone forth I set out to discover what is skillful, seeking the supreme state of sublime peace. I approached Āḷāra Kālāma and said to him: | 一旦出家,我便开始探索何为善巧,寻求崇高平静的最高境界。我走近阿罗罗·迦拉玛,对他说: |
| ‘icchāmahaṃ, āvuso kālāma, imasmiṃ dhammavinaye brahmacariyaṃ caritun’ti. | ‘Reverend Kālāma, I wish to live the spiritual life in this Dharma and training.’ | ‘迦拉玛尊者,我希望在此教法和训练中过梵行生活。’ |
| Evaṃ vutte, bhāradvāja, āḷāro kālāmo maṃ etadavoca: | Āḷāra Kālāma replied: | 阿罗罗·迦拉玛回答说: |
| ‘viharatāyasmā. | ‘Stay, venerable. | ‘留下吧,尊者。 |
| Tādiso ayaṃ dhammo yattha viññū puriso nacirasseva sakaṃ ācariyakaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja vihareyyā’ti. | This Dharma is such that a sensible person can soon realize their own teacher’s doctrine with their own insight and live having achieved it.’ | 这个教法是如此,一个明智的人很快就能用自己的洞察力证悟自己的老师的教义,并活出它。’ |
| So kho ahaṃ, bhāradvāja, nacirasseva khippameva taṃ dhammaṃ pariyāpuṇiṃ. | I quickly memorized that Dharma. | 我很快就记住了那个教法。 |
| So kho ahaṃ, bhāradvāja, tāvatakeneva oṭṭhapahatamattena lapitalāpanamattena ‘ñāṇavādañca vadāmi, theravādañca jānāmi, passāmī’ti ca paṭijānāmi, ahañceva aññe ca. | So far as lip-recital and oral recitation were concerned, I spoke with knowledge and the authority of the elders. I claimed to know and see, and so did others. | 就口头背诵和口头吟诵而言,我以知识和长者的权威发言。我声称知道和看到,其他人也一样。 |
| Tassa mayhaṃ, bhāradvāja, etadahosi: | Then it occurred to me: | 然后我想到: |
| ‘na kho āḷāro kālāmo imaṃ dhammaṃ kevalaṃ saddhāmattakena sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharāmīti pavedeti; | ‘It is not solely by mere justifiable-trust that Āḷāra Kālāma declares: “I realize this Dharma with my own insight, and live having achieved it.” | ‘阿罗罗·迦拉玛并不是仅凭信仰就宣称:“我用自己的洞察力证悟这个教法,并活出它。” |
| addhā āḷāro kālāmo imaṃ dhammaṃ jānaṃ passaṃ viharatī’ti. | Surely he meditates knowing and seeing this Dharma.’ | 他肯定是通过知晓和看到这个教法来禅修的。’ |
| Atha khvāhaṃ, bhāradvāja, yena āḷāro kālāmo tenupasaṅkamiṃ; upasaṅkamitvā āḷāraṃ kālāmaṃ etadavocaṃ: | So I approached Āḷāra Kālāma and said to him: | 于是我走近阿罗罗·迦拉玛,对他说: |
| ‘kittāvatā no, āvuso kālāma, imaṃ dhammaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharāmīti pavedesī’ti? | ‘Reverend Kālāma, to what extent do you say you’ve realized this Dharma with your own insight?’ | “迦拉玛尊者,您说您用自己的洞察力证悟这个教法到什么程度了?” |
| Evaṃ vutte, bhāradvāja, āḷāro kālāmo ākiñcaññāyatanaṃ pavedesi. | When I said this, he declared the dimension of nothingness. | 我这样说时,他宣称了无所有处。 |
| Tassa mayhaṃ, bhāradvāja, etadahosi: | Then it occurred to me: | 然后我想到: |
| ‘na kho āḷārasseva kālāmassa atthi saddhā, mayhampatthi saddhā; | ‘It’s not just Āḷāra Kālāma who has justifiable-trust, | “不只是阿罗罗·迦拉玛有信心, |
| na kho āḷārasseva kālāmassa atthi vīriyaṃ … pe … | vigor, | 精进, |

| Yannūnāhaṃ yaṃ dhammaṃ āḷāro kālāmo sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharāmīti pavedeti tassa dhammassa sacchikiriyāya padaheyyan’ti. | Why don’t I make an effort to realize the same teaching that Āḷāra Kālāma says he has realized with his own insight?’ | 我为什么不努力去证悟阿罗罗·迦拉玛说他已用自己的洞察力证悟的那个教法呢?” |
| So kho ahaṃ, bhāradvāja, nacirasseva khippameva taṃ dhammaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja vihāsiṃ. | I quickly realized that Dharma with my own insight, and lived having achieved it. | 我很快就用自己的洞察力证悟了那个教法,并依之生活。 |
| Atha khvāhaṃ, bhāradvāja, yena āḷāro kālāmo tenupasaṅkamiṃ; upasaṅkamitvā āḷāraṃ kālāmaṃ etadavocaṃ: | So I approached Āḷāra Kālāma and said to him: | 于是我走近阿罗罗·迦拉玛,对他说: |
| ‘ettāvatā no, āvuso kālāma, imaṃ dhammaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja pavedesī’ti? | ‘Reverend Kālāma, have you realized this Dharma with your own insight up to this point, and declare it having achieved it?’ | “迦拉玛尊者,您是否已用自己的洞察力证悟这个教法到这个程度,并宣称已证得它?” |
| ‘Ettāvatā kho ahaṃ, āvuso, imaṃ dhammaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja pavedemī’ti. | ‘I have, reverend.’ | “是的,尊者。” |
| ‘Ahampi kho, āvuso, ettāvatā imaṃ dhammaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharāmī’ti. | ‘I too have realized this Dharma with my own insight up to this point, and live having achieved it.’ | “我也已用自己的洞察力证悟这个教法到这个程度,并依之生活。” |
| ‘Lābhā no, āvuso, suladdhaṃ no, āvuso, | ‘We are fortunate, reverend, so very fortunate | “我们真幸运,尊者,非常幸运 |
| ye mayaṃ āyasmantaṃ tādisaṃ sabrahmacāriṃ passāma. | to see a venerable such as yourself as one of our spiritual companions! | 能看到像您这样的一位尊者成为我们的修行伙伴! |
| Iti yāhaṃ dhammaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja pavedemi taṃ tvaṃ dhammaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharasi; | So The Dharma that I’ve realized with my own insight, and declare having achieved it, you’ve realized with your own insight, and live having achieved it. | 所以您已用自己的洞察力证悟并宣称已证得的教法,您也用自己的洞察力证悟并依之生活。 |
| yaṃ tvaṃ dhammaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharasi tamahaṃ dhammaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja pavedemi. | The Dharma that you’ve realized with your own insight, and live having achieved it, I’ve realized with my own insight, and declare having achieved it. | 您已用自己的洞察力证悟并依之生活的教法,我也已用自己的洞察力证悟并宣称已证得它。 |
| Iti yāhaṃ dhammaṃ jānāmi taṃ tvaṃ dhammaṃ jānāsi, yaṃ tvaṃ dhammaṃ jānāsi tamahaṃ dhammaṃ jānāmi. | So The Dharma that I know, you know, and The Dharma you know, I know. | 所以我知道的教法,您也知道,您知道的教法,我也知道。 |
| Iti yādiso ahaṃ tādiso tuvaṃ, yādiso tuvaṃ tādiso ahaṃ. | I am like you and you are like me. | 我像您一样,您也像我一样。 |
| Ehi dāni, āvuso, ubhova santā imaṃ gaṇaṃ pariharāmā’ti. | Come now, reverend! We should both lead this community together.’ | 来吧,尊者!我们应该一起领导这个僧团。” |
| Iti kho, bhāradvāja, āḷāro kālāmo ācariyo me samāno attano antevāsiṃ maṃ samānaṃ attanā samasamaṃ ṭhapesi, uḷārāya ca maṃ pūjāya pūjesi. | And that is how my teacher Āḷāra Kālāma placed me, his student, on the same position as him, and honored me with lofty praise. | 这就是我的老师阿罗罗·迦拉玛如何将我这个学生置于与他同等的地位,并以崇高的赞扬来荣耀我。 |
| Tassa mayhaṃ, bhāradvāja, etadahosi: | Then it occurred to me: | 然后我想到: |
| ‘nāyaṃ dhammo nibbidāya na virāgāya na nirodhāya na upasamāya na abhiññāya na sambodhāya na nibbānāya saṃvattati, yāvadeva ākiñcaññāyatanūpapattiyā’ti. | ‘This Dharma doesn’t lead to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and nirvana. It only leads as far as rebirth in the dimension of nothingness.’ | “这个教法不导致厌离、离欲、止息、平静、洞察、觉醒和涅槃。它只导致投生到无所有处。” |
| So kho ahaṃ, bhāradvāja, taṃ dhammaṃ analaṅkaritvā tasmā dhammā nibbijja apakkamiṃ. | Realizing that this Dharma was inadequate, I left disappointed. | 我意识到这个教法不充分,便失望地离开了。 |
| So kho ahaṃ, bhāradvāja, kiṃkusalagavesī anuttaraṃ santivarapadaṃ pariyesamāno yena udako rāmaputto tenupasaṅkamiṃ; upasaṅkamitvā udakaṃ rāmaputtaṃ etadavocaṃ: | I set out to discover what is skillful, seeking the supreme state of sublime peace. I approached Uddaka, son of Rāma, and said to him: | 我决心发现何为巧妙,寻求崇高宁静的至高境界。我走近拉玛的儿子乌达卡,对他说: |
| ‘icchāmahaṃ, āvuso, imasmiṃ dhammavinaye brahmacariyaṃ caritun’ti. | ‘Reverend, I wish to live the spiritual life in this Dharma and training.’ | “尊者,我希望在这教义和修行中过精神生活。” |
| Evaṃ vutte, bhāradvāja, udako rāmaputto maṃ etadavoca: | Uddaka replied: | 乌达卡回答: |
| ‘viharatāyasmā. | ‘Stay, venerable. | “请留步,尊者。 |

| So kho ahaṃ, bhāradvāja, nacirasseva khippameva taṃ dhammaṃ pariyāpuṇiṃ. | I quickly memorized that Dharma. | 我很快记住了那个教义。 |
| So kho ahaṃ, bhāradvāja, tāvatakeneva oṭṭhapahatamattena lapitalāpanamattena ‘ñāṇavādañca vadāmi, theravādañca jānāmi, passāmī’ti ca paṭijānāmi, ahañceva aññe ca. | So far as lip-recital and oral recitation were concerned, I spoke with knowledge and the authority of the elders.

| Tassa mayhaṃ, bhāradvāja, etadahosi: | Then it occurred to me: | 然后我想到: |

‘He’s not dead or dying. The ascetic Gotama is a perfected one, for that is how the perfected ones live.’ | “他既没死也没快死。沙门瞿昙是一位阿罗汉,因为阿罗汉就是这样生活的。” |
| Tassa mayhaṃ, bhāradvāja, etadahosi: | Then it occurred to me: | 然后我想到: |

‘If I claim to be completely fasting while these deities are infusing divine nectar in my pores, that would be a lie on my part.’ | “如果我声称完全禁食,而这些天神却在我的毛孔中注入神圣的甘露,那对我来说就是撒谎。” |
| So kho ahaṃ, bhāradvāja, tā devatā paccācikkhāmi, ‘halan’ti vadāmi. | So I dismissed those deities, saying, ‘There’s no need.’ | 于是我遣退了那些天神,说:“没有必要。” |

| Seyyathāpi nāma tittakālābu āmakacchinno vātātapena samphuṭito hoti sammilāto; evamevassu me sīsacchavi samphuṭitā hoti sammilātā tāyevappāhāratāya. | Due to eating so little, my scalp shriveled and withered like a green bitter-gourd in the wind and sun. | 由于吃得太少,我的头皮像被风吹日晒的青苦瓜一样干瘪枯萎。 |

| So kho ahaṃ, bhāradvāja, ‘vaccaṃ vā muttaṃ vā karissāmī’ti tattheva avakujjo papatāmi tāyevappāhāratāya. | Due to eating so little, when I tried to urinate or defecate I fell face down right there. | 由于吃得太少,当我试图大小便时,我就在那里脸朝下摔倒。 |

Tassa mayhaṃ, bhāradvāja, pāṇinā gattāni anumajjato pūtimūlāni lomāni kāyasmā papatanti tāyevappāhāratāya. | Due to eating so little, when I tried to relieve my body by rubbing my limbs with my hands, the hair, rotted at its roots, fell out. | 由于吃得太少,当我试图用手摩擦四肢以缓解身体时,毛发从根部腐烂,脱落下来。 |
| Apissu maṃ, bhāradvāja, manussā disvā evamāhaṃsu: ‘kāḷo samaṇo gotamo’ti. | Then some people saw me and said: ‘The ascetic Gotama is black.’ | 然后有些人看见我,说:“沙门瞿昙黑了。” |

When I passed away from that place I was reborn here.’ And so they recollect their many kinds of past lives, with features and details. | 他们回忆了许多种类的前世,即一世、两世、三世、四世、五世、十世、二十世、三十世、四十世、五十世、一百世、一千世、十万世的生死轮回;许多世界形成劫、许多世界坏灭劫、许多世界形成坏灭劫。他们忆念:“在那里,我名叫某某,我的家族是某某,我长这样,我的食物是那样的。我如此感受快乐和痛苦,我的生命如此终结。当我从那个地方逝世后,我在别处再生。在那里,我也名叫某某,我的家族是某某,我长这样,我的食物是那样的。我如此感受快乐和痛苦,我的生命如此终结。当我从那个地方逝世后,我在这里再生。”他们这样回忆了许多种类的前世,包括其特征和细节。 |

They spoke ill of the noble ones; they had wrong view; and they chose to act out of that wrong view. When their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell. These dear beings, however, did good things by way of body, speech, and mind. They never spoke ill of the noble ones; they had right view; and they chose to act out of that right view. When their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.’ And so, with clairvoyance that is purified and superhuman, they see sentient beings passing away and being reborn—inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, in a good place or a bad place. They understand how sentient beings are reborn according to their deeds. | 他们以清净且超人的天眼通,看见众生逝去并再生——低劣和高贵,美丽和丑陋,生于善处或恶处。他们理解众生如何根据他们的业力而再生:“这些亲爱的众生通过身体、言语和意念做了坏事。他们诽谤圣者;他们持有邪见;他们选择按照那邪见行事。当他们的身体坏灭后,死后,他们投生到一个失落之地、一个恶劣之地、地下世界、地狱。然而,这些亲爱的众生通过身体、言语和意念做了好事。他们从不诽谤圣者;他们持有正见;他们选择按照那正见行事。当他们的身体坏灭后,死后,他们投生到一个好地方、一个天界。”他们这样以清净且超人的天眼通,看见众生逝去并再生——低劣和高贵,美丽和丑陋,生于善处或恶处。他们理解众生如何根据他们的业力而再生。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾这样听说: |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. | 一时,佛陀住在舍卫城,祇树林给孤独园。 |
| Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: | There the Buddha addressed the monks: | 在那儿,佛陀对比丘们讲: |
| “bhikkhavo”ti. | “monks!” | “比丘们!” |
| “Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. | “Venerable sir,” they replied. | 他们回答:“世尊!” |
| Bhagavā etadavoca: | The Buddha said this: | 佛陀这样说: |
| “santi, bhikkhave, eke samaṇabrāhmaṇā aparantakappikā aparantānudiṭṭhino aparantaṃ ārabbha anekavihitāni adhivuttipadāni abhivadanti. | “monks, there are some ascetics and brahmins who theorize about the future, and assert various hypotheses concerning the future. | “比丘们,有些沙门、婆罗门,对未来进行理论,并对未来提出各种假设。 |
| ‘Saññī attā hoti arogo paraṃ maraṇā’ti— ittheke abhivadanti; |
Some propose this: ‘The self is percipient and is sound after death.’ | 有些这样主张:‘自我有知觉,死后仍然存在。’ |
| ‘asaññī attā hoti arogo paraṃ maraṇā’ti— ittheke abhivadanti; |
Some propose this: ‘The self is non-percipient and is sound after death.’ | 有些这样主张:‘自我无知觉,死后仍然存在。’ |
| ‘nevasaññīnāsaññī attā hoti arogo paraṃ maraṇā’ti— ittheke abhivadanti; |
Some propose this: ‘The self is neither percipient nor non-percipient and is sound after death.’ | 有些这样主张:‘自我既非有知觉也非无知觉,死后仍然存在。’ |
| sato vā pana sattassa ucchedaṃ vināsaṃ vibhavaṃ paññapenti, diṭṭhadhammanibbānaṃ vā paneke abhivadanti. | But some assert the annihilation, eradication, and obliteration of an existing being, while others propose nirvana in the present life. | 但有些人主张现有存在的毁灭、根除和消灭,而另一些人则提出现生涅槃。 |
| Iti santaṃ vā attānaṃ paññapenti arogaṃ paraṃ maraṇā, sato vā pana sattassa ucchedaṃ vināsaṃ vibhavaṃ paññapenti, diṭṭhadhammanibbānaṃ vā paneke abhivadanti. | Thus they assert an existent self that is sound after death; or they assert the annihilation of an existing being; or they propose nirvana in the present life. | 因此,他们主张一个死后存在的自我;或者他们主张现有存在的毁灭;或者他们提出现生涅槃。 |
| Iti imāni pañca hutvā tīṇi honti, tīṇi hutvā pañca honti— | In this way five become three, and three become five. | 这样,五变成三,三变成五。 |

| Ye hi keci, bhikkhave, samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā diṭṭhasutamutaviññātabbasaṅkhāramattena etassa āyatanassa upasampadaṃ paññapenti, byasanañhetaṃ, bhikkhave, akkhāyati etassa āyatanassa upasampadāya. | Some ascetics or brahmins assert the attainment of that dimension merely through the conditioned dharma of what is seen, heard, thought, and known. But that is said to be a disastrous approach. | 有些沙门或婆罗门仅通过所见、所闻、所思、所知的有为现象来主张达到那个境界。但据说那是一种灾难性的方法。 |
| Na hetaṃ, bhikkhave, āyatanaṃ saṅkhārasamāpattipattabbamakkhāyati; | For that dimension is said to be not attainable by means of conditioned dharma, | 因为据说那个境界无法通过有为现象达到, |

| Taṃ kissa hetu? | Why is that? | 这是为什么呢? |
| Sabbepime bhonto samaṇabrāhmaṇā uddhaṃ saraṃ āsattiṃyeva abhivadanti: | Because all of those ascetics and brahmins only assert their attachment to moving up to a higher realm: | 因为所有这些沙门、婆罗门都只主张他们执着于上升到更高的境界: |
| ‘iti pecca bhavissāma, iti pecca bhavissāmā’ti. | ‘After death we shall be like this! After death we shall be like that!’ | “死后我们将是这样!死后我们将是那样!” |
| Seyyathāpi nāma vāṇijassa vāṇijjāya gacchato evaṃ hoti: | Suppose a trader was going to market, thinking: | 假设一个商人去市场,心想: |
| ‘ito me idaṃ bhavissati, iminā idaṃ lacchāmī’ti; | ‘With this, that shall be mine! This way, I shall get that!’ | “有了这个,那个就将是我的!这样,我就能得到那个!” |

| “bhikkhavo”ti. | “monks!” | “比丘们!” |
| “Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. | “Venerable sir,” they replied. | “世尊!”他们回答。 |
| Bhagavā etadavoca: | The Buddha said this: | 佛陀这样说: |
| “kinti vo, bhikkhave, mayi hoti: | “monks, is this what you think of me? | “比丘们,你们是这样想我的吗? |

“No sir, we don’t think of you that way.” | “不,世尊,我们不是那样想您的。” |
| “Na ca kira vo, bhikkhave, mayi evaṃ hoti: ‘cīvarahetu vā samaṇo gotamo dhammaṃ deseti … pe … itibhavābhavahetu vā samaṇo gotamo dhammaṃ desetī’ti; |
“If you don’t think of me that way, | “如果你们不是那样想我的, |

| “Evaṃ kho no, bhante, bhagavati hoti: | “We think of you this way: | “我们是这样想您的: |

| Appamattakaṃ kho panetaṃ yadidaṃ—mayhañca vihesā bhavissati parassa ca puggalassa upaghāto. | But for me to be troubled and the other individual to get hurt is a minor matter. | 但我的困扰和对方受到伤害是小事。 |
| Atha kho etadeva bahutaraṃ— | It’s more important | 更重要的是 |
| svāhaṃ sakkomi etaṃ puggalaṃ akusalā vuṭṭhāpetvā kusale patiṭṭhāpetun’ti. | that I can draw them away from the unskillful and establish them in the skillful.’ | 我能引导他们远离不善,确立善行。” |
| Sace, bhikkhave, evamassa, kallaṃ vacanāya. | If that’s what you think, then it’s appropriate to speak to them. | 如果你们这样想,那么与他们交谈是合适的。 |
| Sace pana, bhikkhave, evamassa: | But if you think this: | 但如果你这样想: |
| ‘mayhañca kho vihesā bhavissati parassa ca puggalassa upaghāto.

| Evarūpe, bhikkhave, puggale upekkhā nātimaññitabbā. | Don’t underestimate the value of equanimous-observation for such a person. | 对于这样的人,不要低估平静的价值。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾这样听说。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sakkesu viharati sāmagāme. | At one time the Buddha was staying among the Sakyans near the village of Sāma. | 一时,佛陀住在释迦族人中,近萨玛村。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena nigaṇṭho nāṭaputto pāvāyaṃ adhunākālaṅkato hoti. | Now at that time the Nigaṇṭha Nātaputta had recently passed away at Pāvā. | 当时,尼犍陀·那陀子最近在波婆城逝世。 |
| Tassa kālaṃkiriyāya bhinnā nigaṇṭhā dvedhikajātā bhaṇḍanajātā kalahajātā vivādāpannā aññamaññaṃ mukhasattīhi vitudantā viharanti: | With his passing the Jain ascetics split, dividing into two factions, arguing, quarreling, and fighting, continually wounding each other with barbed words: | 他逝世后,耆那教苦行僧分裂,分成两派,争论、吵架、斗殴,不断用带刺的话互相伤害: |
| “na tvaṃ imaṃ dhammavinayaṃ ājānāsi, ahaṃ imaṃ dhammavinayaṃ ājānāmi. Kiṃ tvaṃ imaṃ dhammavinayaṃ ājānissasi. Micchāpaṭipanno tvamasi, ahamasmi sammāpaṭipanno. Sahitaṃ me, asahitaṃ te. Purevacanīyaṃ pacchā avaca, pacchāvacanīyaṃ pure avaca. Adhiciṇṇaṃ te viparāvattaṃ. Āropito te vādo. Niggahitosi, cara vādappamokkhāya; nibbeṭhehi vā sace pahosī”ti. | ‘You don’t understand this Dharma and training. I understand this Dharma and training. What, you understand this Dharma and training? You’re practicing wrong. I’m practicing right. I stay on topic, you don’t. You said last what you should have said first. You said first what you should have said last. What you’ve thought so much about has been disproved. Your doctrine is refuted. Go on, save your doctrine! You’re trapped; get yourself out of this—if you can!’ | “你不明白这个教义和修行。我明白这个教义和修行。什么,你明白这个教义和修行?你修行错了。我修行对了。我紧扣主题,你没有。你把该先说的放到最后说。你把该后说的放到最先说。你深思熟虑的东西已经被驳倒了。你的学说被驳斥了。去吧,拯救你的学说!你被困住了;如果你能的话,自己摆脱困境吧!” |
| Vadhoyeva kho maññe nigaṇṭhesu nāṭaputtiyesu vattati. | You’d think there was nothing but slaughter going on among the Jain ascetics. | 你会觉得耆那教苦行僧中除了杀戮什么都没有发生。 |
| Yepi nigaṇṭhassa nāṭaputtassa sāvakā gihī odātavasanā tepi nigaṇṭhesu nāṭaputtiyesu nibbinnarūpā virattarūpā paṭivānarūpā yathā taṃ durakkhāte dhammavinaye duppavedite aniyyānike anupasamasaṃvattanike asammāsambuddhappavedite bhinnathūpe appaṭisaraṇe. | And the Nigaṇṭha Nātaputta’s white-clothed lay disciples were disenchanted, dismayed, and disappointed in the Jain ascetics. They were equally disappointed with a Dharma and Training so poorly explained and poorly propounded, not emancipating, not leading to peace, proclaimed by someone who is not a fully awakened Buddha, with broken monument and without a refuge. | 尼犍陀·那陀子的白衣在家弟子们对耆那教苦行僧感到失望、沮丧和灰心。他们同样对一个解释不佳、阐述不佳、不能解脱、不能导向平静、由一位未完全觉悟的佛陀宣讲、纪念碑已破碎、无处可依的教义和修行感到失望。 |
| Atha kho cundo samaṇuddeso pāvāyaṃ vassaṃvuṭṭho yena sāmagāmo yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṃ ānandaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho cundo samaṇuddeso āyasmantaṃ ānandaṃ etadavoca: “nigaṇṭho, bhante, nāṭaputto pāvāyaṃ adhunākālaṅkato. Tassa kālaṃkiriyāya bhinnā nigaṇṭhā dvedhikajātā … pe … bhinnathūpe appaṭisaraṇe”ti. |
And then, after completing the rainy season residence near Pāvā, the novice Cunda went to see Venerable Ānanda at Sāma village. He bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened. | 然后,在波婆城附近完成了雨安居后,沙弥准达去看望住在萨玛村的阿难尊者。他顶礼后坐在一旁,并将发生的事情告诉了他。 |
| Evaṃ vutte, āyasmā ānando cundaṃ samaṇuddesaṃ etadavoca: | Ānanda said to him: | 阿难对他说: |
| “atthi kho idaṃ, āvuso cunda, kathāpābhataṃ bhagavantaṃ dassanāya. | “Reverend Cunda, we should see the Buddha about this matter. | “准达尊者,我们应该就此事去见佛陀。 |
| Āyāma, āvuso cunda, yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamissāma; upasaṅkamitvā etamatthaṃ bhagavato ārocessāmā”ti. | Come, let’s go to the Buddha and inform him about this.” | 来吧,我们去见佛陀,并向他汇报此事。” |
| “Evaṃ, bhante”ti kho cundo samaṇuddeso āyasmato ānandassa paccassosi. | “Yes, sir,” replied Cunda. | “是的,世尊。”准达回答。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā ca ānando cundo ca samaṇuddeso yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “ayaṃ, bhante, cundo samaṇuddeso evamāha: ‘nigaṇṭho, bhante, nāṭaputto pāvāyaṃ adhunākālaṅkato. Tassa kālaṃkiriyāya bhinnā nigaṇṭhā dvedhikajātā … pe … bhinnathūpe appaṭisaraṇe’ti. |
Then Ānanda and Cunda went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and Ānanda informed him of what Cunda had said. He went on to say: | 然后阿难和准达去见佛陀,顶礼后坐在一旁,阿难将准达所说告诉了他。他继续说: |
| Tassa mayhaṃ, bhante, evaṃ hoti: | “Sir, it occurs to me: | “世尊,我想到: |
| ‘mā heva bhagavato accayena saṃghe vivādo uppajji; | ‘When the Buddha has passed away, let no dispute arise in the Saṅgha. | ‘当佛陀逝世后,僧伽中不要发生争议。 |
| svāssa vivādo bahujanāhitāya bahujanāsukhāya bahuno janassa anatthāya ahitāya dukkhāya devamanussānan’”ti. | For such a dispute would be for the hurt and unhappiness of the people, for the harm, hurt, and suffering of gods and humans.’” | 因为这样的争议会给人们带来伤害和不幸,给天人和人类带来损害、伤害和痛苦。’” |
| “Taṃ kiṃ maññasi, ānanda, | “What do you think, Ānanda? | “阿难,你觉得呢? |
| ye vo mayā dhammā abhiññā desitā, seyyathidaṃ— | Do you see even two monks who disagree regarding the things I have taught from my direct knowledge, that is, | 你看到即使有两名比丘在我的亲身证悟的教导上意见不合吗,即 |
| cattāro satipaṭṭhānā cattāro sammappadhānā cattāro iddhipādā pañcindriyāni pañca balāni satta bojjhaṅgā ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo, passasi no tvaṃ, ānanda, imesu dhammesu dvepi bhikkhū nānāvāde”ti? | the four kinds of remembering meditation, the four right efforts, the four bases of psychic power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven awakening factors, and the noble eightfold path?” | 四念处、四正勤、四神足、五根、五力、七觉支和八圣道?” |
| “Ye me, bhante, dhammā bhagavatā abhiññā desitā, seyyathidaṃ— cattāro satipaṭṭhānā cattāro sammappadhānā cattāro iddhipādā pañcindriyāni pañca balāni satta bojjhaṅgā ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo, nāhaṃ passāmi imesu dhammesu dvepi bhikkhū nānāvāde. |
“No, sir, I do not. | “不,世尊,我没有看到。 |
| Ye ca kho, bhante, puggalā bhagavantaṃ patissayamānarūpā viharanti tepi bhagavato accayena saṃghe vivādaṃ janeyyuṃ ajjhājīve vā adhipātimokkhe vā. | Nevertheless, there are some individuals who appear to live obedient to the Buddha, but when the Buddha has passed away they might create a dispute in the Saṅgha regarding livelihood or the monastic code. | 然而,有些人表面上遵守佛陀的教诲,但当佛陀逝世后,他们可能会在僧伽中就生计或戒律问题制造争议。 |
| Svāssa vivādo bahujanāhitāya bahujanāsukhāya bahuno janassa anatthāya ahitāya dukkhāya devamanussānan”ti. | Such a dispute would be for the hurt and unhappiness of the people, for the harm, hurt, and suffering of gods and humans.” | 这样的争议会给人们带来伤害和不幸,给天人和人类带来损害、伤害和痛苦。” |
| “Appamattako so, ānanda, vivādo yadidaṃ—ajjhājīve vā adhipātimokkhe vā. | “Ānanda, dispute about livelihood or the monastic code is a minor matter. | “阿难,关于生计或戒律的争议是小事。 |
| Magge vā hi, ānanda, paṭipadāya vā saṅghe vivādo uppajjamāno uppajjeyya; svāssa vivādo bahujanāhitāya bahujanāsukhāya bahuno janassa anatthāya ahitāya dukkhāya devamanussānaṃ. | But should a dispute arise in the Saṅgha concerning the path or the practice, that would be for the hurt and unhappiness of the people, for the harm, hurt, and suffering of gods and humans. | 但是,如果僧伽中就道途或修行发生争议,那就会给人们带来伤害和不幸,给天人和人类带来损害、伤害和痛苦。 |
| Chayimāni, ānanda, vivādamūlāni. | Ānanda, there are these six roots of disputes. | 阿难,有这六种争议的根源。 |
| Katamāni cha? | What six? | 哪六种? |
| Idhānanda, bhikkhu kodhano hoti upanāhī. | Firstly, a monk is angry and hostile. | 首先,比丘是愤怒和怀有敌意的。 |
| Yo so, ānanda, bhikkhu kodhano hoti upanāhī so sattharipi agāravo viharati appatisso, dhammepi agāravo viharati appatisso, saṃghepi agāravo viharati appatisso, sikkhāyapi na paripūrakārī hoti. | Such a monk lacks respect and reverence for the teacher, The Dharma, and the Saṅgha, and they don’t fulfill the training. | 这样的比丘对师父、教法和僧伽缺乏尊重和恭敬,他们不履行修行。 |
| Yo so, ānanda, bhikkhu satthari agāravo viharati appatisso, dhamme … saṃghe agāravo viharati appatisso, sikkhāya na paripūrakārī hoti, so saṃghe vivādaṃ janeti; yo hoti vivādo bahujanāhitāya bahujanāsukhāya, bahuno janassa anatthāya ahitāya dukkhāya devamanussānaṃ. | They create a dispute in the Saṅgha, which is for the hurt and unhappiness of the people, for the harm, hurt, and suffering of gods and humans. | 他们会在僧伽中制造争议,这会给人们带来伤害和不幸,给天人和人类带来损害、伤害和痛苦。 |
| Evarūpañce tumhe, ānanda, vivādamūlaṃ ajjhattaṃ vā bahiddhā vā samanupasseyyātha, tatra tumhe, ānanda, tasseva pāpakassa vivādamūlassa pahānāya vāyameyyātha. | If you see such a root of disputes in yourselves or others, you should try to give up this bad thing. | 如果你在自己或他人身上看到这样的争议根源,你应该努力放弃这个坏事。 |

| Evametassa pāpakassa vivādamūlassa pahānaṃ hoti, evametassa pāpakassa vivādamūlassa āyatiṃ anavassavo hoti. | That’s how to give up this bad root of quarrels, so it doesn’t come up in the future. | 这就是放弃这个坏的争吵根源的方法,使其将来不再出现。 |
| Puna caparaṃ, ānanda, bhikkhu makkhī hoti paḷāsī … pe … | Furthermore, a monk is offensive and contemptuous … | 此外,比丘是冒犯和轻蔑的…… |

| pāpiccho hoti micchādiṭṭhi … pe … | They have wicked desires and wrong view … | 他们有邪恶的欲望和错误的观点…… |
| sandiṭṭhiparāmāsī hoti ādhānaggāhī duppaṭinissaggī. | They’re attached to their own views, holding them tight, and refusing to let go. | 他们执着于自己的观点,紧抓不放,不愿舍弃。 |
| Yo so, ānanda, bhikkhu sandiṭṭhiparāmāsī hoti ādhānaggāhī duppaṭinissaggī so sattharipi agāravo viharati appatisso, dhammepi agāravo viharati appatisso, saṃghepi agāravo viharati appatisso, sikkhāyapi na paripūrakārī hoti. | Such a monk lacks respect and reverence for the teacher, The Dharma, and the Saṅgha, and they don’t fulfill the training. | 这样的比丘对师父、教法和僧伽缺乏尊重和恭敬,他们不履行修行。 |
| Yo so, ānanda, bhikkhu satthari agāravo viharati appatisso, dhamme … saṃghe … sikkhāya na paripūrakārī hoti so saṃghe vivādaṃ janeti; yo hoti vivādo bahujanāhitāya bahujanāsukhāya, bahuno janassa anatthāya ahitāya dukkhāya devamanussānaṃ. | They create a dispute in the Saṅgha, which is for the hurt and unhappiness of the people, for the harm, hurt, and suffering of gods and humans. | 他们会在僧伽中制造争议,这会给人们带来伤害和不幸,给天人和人类带来损害、伤害和痛苦。 |
| Evarūpañce tumhe, ānanda, vivādamūlaṃ ajjhattaṃ vā bahiddhā vā samanupasseyyātha. Tatra tumhe, ānanda, tasseva pāpakassa vivādamūlassa pahānāya vāyameyyātha. | If you see such a root of quarrels in yourselves or others, you should try to give up this bad thing. | 如果你在自己或他人身上看到这样的争吵根源,你应该努力放弃这个坏事。 |
| Evarūpañce tumhe, ānanda, vivādamūlaṃ ajjhattaṃ vā bahiddhā vā na samanupasseyyātha, tatra tumhe, ānanda, tasseva pāpakassa vivādamūlassa āyatiṃ anavassavāya paṭipajjeyyātha. | If you don’t see it, you should practice so that it doesn’t come up in the future. | 如果你没有看到它,你应该修行,使其将来不再出现。 |
| Evametassa pāpakassa vivādamūlassa pahānaṃ hoti, evametassa pāpakassa vivādamūlassa āyatiṃ anavassavo hoti. | That’s how to give up this bad root of quarrels, so it doesn’t come up in the future. | 这就是放弃这个坏的争吵根源的方法,使其将来不再出现。 |
| Imāni kho, ānanda, cha vivādamūlāni. | These are the six roots of quarrels. | 这些是争吵的六个根源。 |
| Cattārimāni, ānanda, adhikaraṇāni. | There are four kinds of disciplinary issues. | 有四种纪律问题。 |
| Katamāni cattāri? | What four? | 哪四种? |
| Vivādādhikaraṇaṃ, anuvādādhikaraṇaṃ, āpattādhikaraṇaṃ, kiccādhikaraṇaṃ— | Disciplinary issues due to disputes, accusations, offenses, or proceedings. | 因争议、指控、过失或程序而引起的纪律问题。 |
| imāni kho, ānanda, cattāri adhikaraṇāni. | These are the four kinds of disciplinary issues. | 这些是四种纪律问题。 |

| Idhānanda, bhikkhū vivadanti dhammoti vā adhammoti vā vinayoti vā avinayoti vā. | It’s when monks are disputing: ‘This is The Dharma,’ ‘This is not The Dharma,’ ‘This is the training,’ ‘This is not the training.’ | 当比丘们争论时:“这是教法”,“这不是教法”,“这是修行”,“这不是修行。” |
| Tehānanda, bhikkhūhi sabbeheva samaggehi sannipatitabbaṃ. | Those monks should all sit together in harmony | 所有这些比丘都应该和谐地坐在一起 |
| Sannipatitvā dhammanetti samanumajjitabbā. | and thoroughly go over the guidelines of The Dharma. | 并彻底审阅教义的准则。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾这样听说。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā vesāliyaṃ viharati mahāvane kūṭāgārasālāyaṃ. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Vesālī, at the Great Wood, in the hall with the peaked roof. | 一时,佛陀住在毗舍离附近,大林中,重阁讲堂里。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena sambahulehi bhikkhūhi bhagavato santike aññā byākatā hoti: | Now at that time several monks had declared their enlightenment in the Buddha’s presence: | 当时,有几位比丘已在佛陀面前宣称他们证得阿罗汉果: |
| “‘khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā’ti pajānāmā”ti. | “We understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is no return to any state of existence.’” | “我们已明白:‘轮回已尽,梵行已立,所作已办,不再有任何存在状态的回归。’” |
| Assosi kho sunakkhatto licchaviputto: “sambahulehi kira bhikkhūhi bhagavato santike aññā byākatā hoti: ‘khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyāti pajānāmā’”ti. |
Sunakkhatta the Licchavi heard about this. | 离车族人善行听说了这件事。 |
| Atha kho sunakkhatto licchaviputto yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho sunakkhatto licchaviputto bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | He went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: | 他去见佛陀,顶礼后坐在一旁,对他说: |
| “sutaṃ metaṃ, bhante: | “Sir, I have heard that | “世尊,我听说 |
| ‘sambahulehi kira bhikkhūhi bhagavato santike aññā byākatā— khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyāti pajānāmā’ti. Ye te, bhante, bhikkhū bhagavato santike aññaṃ byākaṃsu: |
several monks have declared their enlightenment in the Buddha’s presence. | 有几位比丘已在佛陀面前宣称他们证得阿罗汉果。 |
| ‘khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyāti pajānāmā’ti, kacci te, bhante, bhikkhū sammadeva aññaṃ byākaṃsu udāhu santetthekacce bhikkhū adhimānena aññaṃ byākaṃsū”ti? | I trust they did so rightly—or are there some who declared enlightenment out of overestimation?” | 我相信他们这样做是正确的——或者有没有人是出于过高的估计而宣称证得阿罗汉果呢?” |

1. According to the commentaries, “imperturbable” denotes the fourth jhāna and the four formless attainments.
MN 66 provides partial support for this interpretation, saying that the first three jhānas are perturbable while the fourth is not, but this sutta does not include the dimension of nothingness under the term—or, apparently, any of the formless attainments higher than that.

| Sukhassa ca pahānā … catutthaṃ jhānaṃ upasampajja viharati. | Giving up pleasure and pain, and ending former happiness and sadness, they enter and remain in the fourth jhāna, without pleasure or pain, with pure equanimous-observation and remembering. | 舍弃乐和苦,并结束先前的快乐和悲伤,他们进入并安住于第四禅,没有乐或苦,只有纯净的平等心和正念。 |
| Ye kho te, brāhmaṇa, bhikkhū sekkhā apattamānasā anuttaraṃ yogakkhemaṃ patthayamānā viharanti tesu me ayaṃ evarūpī anusāsanī hoti. | That’s how I instruct the monks who are trainees—who haven’t achieved their heart’s desire, but live aspiring to the supreme sanctuary. | 我就是这样指导那些受训的比丘——他们尚未实现内心的愿望,但渴望着至高的庇护所。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾这样听说: |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ āyasmā ānando rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe aciraparinibbute bhagavati. | At one time Venerable Ānanda was staying near Rājagaha, in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrels’ feeding ground. It was not long after the Buddha had become fully nirvana'd. | 那时,阿难尊者住在王舍城附近的竹林精舍,那是松鼠的饲养地。那时佛陀涅槃不久。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena rājā māgadho ajātasattu vedehiputto rājagahaṃ paṭisaṅkhārāpeti rañño pajjotassa āsaṅkamāno. | Now at that time King Ajātasattu Vedehiputta of Magadha, being suspicious of King Pajjota, was having Rājagaha fortified. | 当时,摩揭陀国韦提希之子阿阇世王,因怀疑波阇陀王,正在加固王舍城的防御。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā ānando pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya rājagahaṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. | Then Venerable Ānanda robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Rājagaha for alms. | 于是,阿难尊者早晨披衣,持钵持衣,进入王舍城乞食。 |
| Atha kho āyasmato ānandassa etadahosi: | Then Venerable Ānanda thought: | 然后阿难尊者想: |

| Nisīdi kho āyasmā ānando paññatte āsane. | Ānanda sat down on the seat spread out, | 阿难坐到了铺好的座位上, |
| Gopakamoggallānopi kho brāhmaṇo aññataraṃ nīcaṃ āsanaṃ gahetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. | while Moggallāna took a low seat and sat to one side. | 目犍连则坐到了一边的一个低座上。 |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho gopakamoggallāno brāhmaṇo āyasmantaṃ ānandaṃ etadavoca: | Then he said to Ānanda: | 然后他对阿难说: |
| “atthi nu kho, bho ānanda, ekabhikkhupi tehi dhammehi sabbenasabbaṃ sabbathāsabbaṃ samannāgato yehi dhammehi samannāgato so bhavaṃ gotamo ahosi arahaṃ sammāsambuddho”ti? | “Master Ānanda, is there even a single monk who has all the same qualities in each and every way as possessed by Master Gotama, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha?” | “阿难大师,有没有一位比丘,他的所有品质在各方面都与乔达摩大师,那位阿罗汉、完全觉悟的佛陀所具备的品质完全相同呢?” |
| “Natthi kho, brāhmaṇa, ekabhikkhupi tehi dhammehi sabbenasabbaṃ sabbathāsabbaṃ samannāgato yehi dhammehi samannāgato so bhagavā ahosi arahaṃ sammāsambuddho. | “No, brahmin, there is not. | “婆罗门,没有。 |

| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho vassakāro brāhmaṇo magadhamahāmatto āyasmantaṃ ānandaṃ etadavoca: | When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side and said to Ānanda: | 问候和礼貌的交谈结束后,他坐到一边,对阿难说: |
| “kāya nuttha, bho ānanda, etarahi kathāya sannisinnā, kā ca pana vo antarākathā vippakatā”ti? | “Master Ānanda, what were you sitting talking about just now? What conversation was unfinished?” | “阿难大师,你们刚才坐着谈论什么?是什么谈话没有完成?” |
| “Idha maṃ, brāhmaṇa, gopakamoggallāno brāhmaṇo evamāha: ‘atthi nu kho, bho ānanda, ekabhikkhupi tehi dhammehi sabbenasabbaṃ sabbathāsabbaṃ samannāgato yehi dhammehi samannāgato so bhavaṃ gotamo ahosi arahaṃ sammāsambuddho’ti. Evaṃ vutte, ahaṃ, brāhmaṇa, gopakamoggallānaṃ brāhmaṇaṃ etadavocaṃ: ‘natthi kho, brāhmaṇa, ekabhikkhupi tehi dhammehi sabbenasabbaṃ sabbathāsabbaṃ samannāgato yehi dhammehi samannāgato so bhagavā ahosi arahaṃ sammāsambuddho.

So Ānanda told him of the conversation that they were having when Vassakāra arrived. Vassakāra said: | 于是阿难把他们正在进行的谈话告诉了他,当跋阇迦罗到达时。跋阇迦罗说: |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾这样听说: |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati pubbārāme migāramātupāsāde. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in the Eastern Monastery, the stilt longhouse of Migāra’s mother. | 那时,佛陀住在舍卫城,在弥伽罗母亲的东园重阁堂。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā tadahuposathe pannarase puṇṇāya puṇṇamāya rattiyā bhikkhusaṅghaparivuto abbhokāse nisinno hoti. | Now, at that time it was the sabbath—the full moon on the fifteenth day—and the Buddha was sitting in the open surrounded by the Saṅgha of monks. | 那时正是布萨日——十五月圆之夜——佛陀坐于露天,周围是比丘僧伽。 |
| Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu uṭṭhāyāsanā ekaṃsaṃ cīvaraṃ katvā yena bhagavā tenañjaliṃ paṇāmetvā bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then one of the monks got up from their seat, arranged their robe over one shoulder, raised their joined palms toward the Buddha, and said: | 然后一位比丘从座位上起身,将袈裟披在一肩上,合掌向佛陀,说: |
| “Puccheyyāhaṃ, bhante, bhagavantaṃ kiñcideva desaṃ, sace me bhagavā okāsaṃ karoti pañhassa veyyākaraṇāyā”ti. | “I’d like to ask the Buddha about a certain point, if you’d take the time to answer.” | “我想就某个问题请教佛陀,如果您能花时间回答的话。” |
| “Tena hi tvaṃ, bhikkhu, sake āsane nisīditvā puccha yadākaṅkhasī”ti. | “Well then, monk, take your own seat and ask what you wish.” | “那么,比丘,请回到你的座位,随意提问。” |
| Atha kho so bhikkhu sake āsane nisīditvā bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | That monk took his seat and said to the Buddha: | 那位比丘坐下后,对佛陀说: |
| “ime nu kho, bhante, pañcupādānakkhandhā, seyyathidaṃ— | “Sir, are these the five grasping aggregates: | “世尊,这五种执取蕴是: |
| rūpupādānakkhandho, vedanupādānakkhandho, saññupādānakkhandho, saṅkhārupādānakkhandho, viññāṇupādānakkhandho”ti? | form, feeling, perception, co-activities, and consciousness?” | 色、受、想、行、识吗?” |
| “Ime kho, bhikkhu, pañcupādānakkhandhā, seyyathidaṃ— rūpupādānakkhandho, vedanupādānakkhandho, saññupādānakkhandho, saṅkhārupādānakkhandho, viññāṇupādānakkhandho”ti. |
“Yes, they are,” replied the Buddha. | “是的,”佛陀回答。 |
| “Sādhu, bhante”ti kho so bhikkhu bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinanditvā anumoditvā bhagavantaṃ uttariṃ pañhaṃ pucchi: | Saying “Good, sir”, that monk approved and agreed with what the Buddha said. Then he asked another question: | 那位比丘说:“善哉,世尊”,赞同并认可了佛陀所说的话。然后他提出了另一个问题: |
| “ime pana, bhante, pañcupādānakkhandhā kiṃmūlakā”ti? | “But sir, what is the root of these five grasping aggregates?” | “但是世尊,这五种执取蕴的根源是什么?” |
| “Ime kho, bhikkhu, pañcupādānakkhandhā chandamūlakā”ti. | “These five grasping aggregates are rooted in desire.” | “这五种执取蕴的根源是欲望。” |
| “Taṃyeva nu kho, bhante, upādānaṃ te pañcupādānakkhandhā, udāhu aññatra pañcahupādānakkhandhehi upādānan”ti? | “But sir, is that grasping the exact same thing as the five grasping aggregates? Or is grasping one thing and the five grasping aggregates another?” | “但是世尊,执取与五种执取蕴是完全相同的东西吗?还是执取是一回事,五种执取蕴是另一回事?” |
| “Na kho, bhikkhu, taṃyeva upādānaṃ te pañcupādānakkhandhā, nāpi aññatra pañcahupādānakkhandhehi upādānaṃ. | “Neither. | “两者都不是。 |
| Yo kho, bhikkhu, pañcasu upādānakkhandhesu chandarāgo taṃ tattha upādānan”ti. | Rather, the desire and greed for them is the grasping there.” | 毋宁说,对它们的贪欲和贪婪就是那里的执取。” |
| “Siyā pana, bhante, pañcasu upādānakkhandhesu chandarāgavemattatā”ti? | “But sir, can there be different kinds of desire and greed for the five grasping aggregates?” | “但是世尊,对五种执取蕴会有不同种类的贪欲和贪婪吗?” |
| “Siyā, bhikkhū”ti bhagavā avoca | “There can,” said the Buddha. | “会有,”佛陀说。 |
| “idha, bhikkhu, ekaccassa evaṃ hoti: | “It’s when someone thinks: | “当有人想: |
| ‘evaṃrūpo siyaṃ anāgatamaddhānaṃ, evaṃvedano siyaṃ anāgatamaddhānaṃ, evaṃsañño siyaṃ anāgatamaddhānaṃ, evaṃsaṅkhāro siyaṃ anāgatamaddhānaṃ, evaṃviññāṇo siyaṃ anāgatamaddhānan’ti. | ‘In the future, may I be of such form, such feeling, such perception, such co-activities, and such consciousness!’ | ‘将来,愿我成为这样的色、这样的受、这样的想、这样的行、这样的识!’ |
| Evaṃ kho, bhikkhu, siyā pañcasu upādānakkhandhesu chandarāgavemattatā”ti. | That’s how there be different kinds of desire and greed for the five grasping aggregates.” | 这就是对五种执取蕴会有不同种类的贪欲和贪婪。” |

+B. Thanissaro Notes
1. “Clearly saw insight”: In Pali, this is vipassanaṁ vipassi, which could be translated literally as “clearly saw clear seeing” or “insighted insight.” The Commentary states that the half-month mentioned here refers to the half month between Ven. Sāriputta’s ordination and his attainment of arahantship, described in MN 74. These two suttas treat Sāriputta’s attainment from two different perspectives. This sutta shows it from the standpoint of his mastery of the four jhānas and the formless attainments based on the fourth jhāna. That sutta shows it as occurring when he starts reflecting on a point while listening to a discourse that the Buddha is giving to his nephew. To put the two suttas together, we can infer that prior to the discourse given in MN 74, Sāriputta had mastered the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception. While listening to the discourse, he reflected on the point that the Buddha recommended abandoning all mental dharma-[phenomena] through direct knowledge. This would have led him to the cessation of perception and feeling (during which he would not be listening to the discourse) and so to awakening.
2. Reading viññāṇaṁ with the Thai edition of the Canon. The Burmese and PTS editions read cittaṁ, which could mean “mind” or “intent” (as in the four bases of success).
3. Reading passaddhattā with the Burmese edition. The Thai edition reads, parisuddhatā, “through purity.” The Sinhalese edition reads pasiddhatā, which would mean “empowerment” (?—this term is not listed in the PTS Dictionary). The PTS edition reads passi vedanā, which is unintelligible.
4. Notice that, with each of the previous levels of attainment, Sāriputta was able to ferret out the various mental dharma-[phenomena] arising there while he was still in the attainment. With this attainment and the following one, however, he was not able to analyze the mental dharma-[phenomena] present and absent there until after he had left the attainment. The difference here is related to the point made in AN 9:36 that all the attainments up through the dimension of nothingness are “perception-attainments.” And that, “As far as the perception-attainments go, that is as far as gnosis-penetration goes. As for these two dimensions—the attainment of the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception & the attainment of the cessation of perception & feeling—I tell you that they are to be rightly explained by those monks who are meditators, skilled at attainment, skilled at attainment-emergence, who have attained & emerged in dependence on them.”
For a discussion of how insight can be developed in the context of jhāna, see The Wings to awakening, IIIF.
5. For a more detailed description of what a meditator experiences on emerging from the cessation of perception and feeling, see MN 44.

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati pubbārāme migāramātupāsāde sambahulehi abhiññātehi abhiññātehi therehi sāvakehi saddhiṃ— | At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in the Eastern Monastery, the stilt longhouse of Migāra’s mother, together with several well-known senior disciples, such as | 如是我闻。 |
| āyasmatā ca sāriputtena āyasmatā ca mahāmoggallānena āyasmatā ca mahākassapena āyasmatā ca mahākaccāyanena āyasmatā ca mahākoṭṭhikena āyasmatā ca mahākappinena āyasmatā ca mahācundena āyasmatā ca anuruddhena āyasmatā ca revatena āyasmatā ca ānandena, aññehi ca abhiññātehi abhiññātehi therehi sāvakehi saddhiṃ. | the venerables Sāriputta, Mahāmoggallāna, Mahākassapa, Mahākaccāna, Mahākoṭṭhita, Mahākappina, Mahācunda, Anuruddha, Revata, Ānanda, and others. | 一时,佛陀与几位著名的资深弟子,如尊者舍利弗、摩诃目犍连、摩诃迦叶、摩诃迦旃延、摩诃拘絺罗、摩诃迦宾那、摩诃准陀、阿那律、离婆多、阿难陀等,一同住在舍卫城附近的东园,鹿子母讲堂。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena therā bhikkhū nave bhikkhū ovadanti anusāsanti. | Now at that time the senior monks were advising and instructing the junior monks. | 那时,资深比丘们正在教导和指导年轻比丘。 |
| Appekacce therā bhikkhū dasapi bhikkhū ovadanti anusāsanti, appekacce therā bhikkhū vīsampi bhikkhū ovadanti anusāsanti, appekacce therā bhikkhū tiṃsampi bhikkhū ovadanti anusāsanti, appekacce therā bhikkhū cattārīsampi bhikkhū ovadanti anusāsanti. | Some senior monks instructed ten monks, while some instructed twenty, thirty, or forty. | 一些资深比丘教导十位比丘,而有些则教导二十、三十或四十位比丘。 |
| Te ca navā bhikkhū therehi bhikkhūhi ovadiyamānā anusāsiyamānā uḷāraṃ pubbenāparaṃ visesaṃ jānanti. | Being instructed by the senior monks, the junior monks realized a higher distinction than they had before. | 受到资深比丘的教导,年轻比丘们获得了比以前更高的成就。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā tadahuposathe pannarase pavāraṇāya puṇṇāya puṇṇamāya rattiyā bhikkhusaṃghaparivuto abbhokāse nisinno hoti. | Now, at that time it was the sabbath—the full moon on the fifteenth day—and the Buddha was sitting surrounded by the Saṅgha of monks for the invitation to admonish. | 那时正值布萨日——十五的月圆之夜——佛陀坐着,被比丘僧团围绕着,准备接受劝诫。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā tuṇhībhūtaṃ tuṇhībhūtaṃ bhikkhusaṃghaṃ anuviloketvā bhikkhū āmantesi: | Then the Buddha looked around the Saṅgha of monks, who were so very silent. He addressed them: | 然后,佛陀环顾比丘僧团,他们非常寂静。他对比丘们说: |
| “āraddhosmi, bhikkhave, imāya paṭipadāya; | “I am satisfied, monks, with this practice. | “比丘们,我对这种修行很满意。 |
| āraddhacittosmi, bhikkhave, imāya paṭipadāya. | My heart is satisfied with this practice. | 我的心对这种修行很满意。 |
| Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, bhiyyoso mattāya vīriyaṃ ārabhatha appattassa pattiyā, anadhigatassa adhigamāya, asacchikatassa sacchikiriyāya. | So you should rouse up even more vigor for attaining the unattained, achieving the unachieved, and realizing the unrealized. | 所以你们应该更加努力,以求证未证得的,实现未实现的,和觉悟未觉悟的。 |
| Idhevāhaṃ sāvatthiyaṃ komudiṃ cātumāsiniṃ āgamessāmī”ti. | I will wait here in Sāvatthī for the Komudi full moon of the fourth month.” | 我将在舍卫城等待第四个月的拘牟陀月圆。” |
| Assosuṃ kho jānapadā bhikkhū: | monks from around the country heard about this. | 全国各地的比丘听说了这件事。 |
| “bhagavā kira tattheva sāvatthiyaṃ komudiṃ cātumāsiniṃ āgamessatī”ti. | 他们来到舍卫城参见佛陀。 | |
| Te jānapadā bhikkhū sāvatthiṃ osaranti bhagavantaṃ dassanāya. | They came down to Sāvatthī to see the Buddha. | 那些资深比丘们更加努力地教导年轻比丘。 |
| Te ca kho therā bhikkhū bhiyyoso mattāya nave bhikkhū ovadanti anusāsanti. | And those senior monks instructed the junior monks even more. | 一些资深比丘教导十位比丘,而有些则教导二十、三十或四十位比丘。 |
| Appekacce therā bhikkhū dasapi bhikkhū ovadanti anusāsanti, appekacce therā bhikkhū vīsampi bhikkhū ovadanti anusāsanti, appekacce therā bhikkhū tiṃsampi bhikkhū ovadanti anusāsanti, appekacce therā bhikkhū cattārīsampi bhikkhū ovadanti anusāsanti. | Some senior monks instructed ten monks, while some instructed twenty, thirty, or forty. | 受到资深比丘的教导,年轻比丘们获得了比以前更高的成就。 |

| Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā tadahuposathe pannarase komudiyā cātumāsiniyā puṇṇāya puṇṇamāya rattiyā bhikkhusaṅghaparivuto abbhokāse nisinno hoti. | Now, at that time it was the sabbath—the Komudi full moon on the fifteenth day of the fourth month—and the Buddha was sitting in the open surrounded by the Saṅgha of monks. | 那时正值布萨日——第四个月十五的拘牟陀月圆之夜——佛陀坐在户外,被比丘僧团围绕着。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā tuṇhībhūtaṃ tuṇhībhūtaṃ bhikkhusaṅghaṃ anuviloketvā bhikkhū āmantesi: | Then the Buddha looked around the Saṅgha of monks, who were so very silent. He addressed them: | 然后,佛陀环顾比丘僧团,他们非常寂静。他对比丘们说: |
| “Apalāpāyaṃ, bhikkhave, parisā; nippalāpāyaṃ, bhikkhave, parisā; suddhā sāre patiṭṭhitā. | “This assembly has no nonsense, monks, it’s free of nonsense. It consists purely of the essential core. | “比丘们,这个僧团没有胡说八道,它没有胡说八道。它纯粹由核心要素组成。 |
| Tathārūpo ayaṃ, bhikkhave, bhikkhusaṃgho; tathārūpā ayaṃ, bhikkhave, parisā | Such is this Saṅgha of monks, such is this assembly! | 这样的比丘僧团,这样的集会! |
| yathārūpā parisā āhuneyyā pāhuneyyā dakkhiṇeyyā añjalikaraṇīyā anuttaraṃ puññakkhettaṃ lokassa. | An assembly such as this is worthy of offerings dedicated to the gods, worthy of hospitality, worthy of a teacher’s offering, worthy of greeting with joined palms, and is the supreme field of merit for the world. | 这样的集会值得供奉给诸神,值得款待,值得供养给导师,值得合掌问候,是世间最殊胜的福田。 |
| Tathārūpo ayaṃ, bhikkhave, bhikkhusaṃgho; tathārūpā ayaṃ, bhikkhave, parisā | Such is this Saṅgha of monks, such is this assembly! | 这样的比丘僧团,这样的集会! |
| yathārūpāya parisāya appaṃ dinnaṃ bahu hoti, bahu dinnaṃ bahutaraṃ. | Even a small gift to an assembly such as this is fruitful, while giving more is even more fruitful. | 即使是对这样的集会施予小小的供养,也成果丰硕,而施予更多则成果更丰硕。 |
| Tathārūpo ayaṃ, bhikkhave, bhikkhusaṃgho; tathārūpā ayaṃ, bhikkhave, parisā | Such is this Saṅgha of monks, such is this assembly! | 这样的比丘僧团,这样的集会! |

| yathārūpaṃ parisaṃ alaṃ yojanagaṇanāni dassanāya gantuṃ puṭosenāpi. | An assembly such as this is worth traveling many leagues to see, even if you have to carry your own provisions in a shoulder bag. | 这样的集会值得跋涉万里去见,即使你需要肩负自己的补给。 |

+Opening
| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati pubbārāme migāramātupāsāde. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in the Eastern Monastery, the stilt longhouse of Migāra’s mother. | 一时,佛陀住在舍卫城附近,东园鹿子母讲堂。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā ānando sāyanhasamayaṃ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: | Then in the late afternoon, Venerable Ānanda came out of retreat and went to the Buddha. He bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: | 那时,傍晚时分,阿难尊者从禅修中出来,前往佛陀处。他顶礼后,坐在一旁,对佛陀说: |
+121.1 – (Buddha tells Ananda these days he lives in emptiness)
| “Ekamidaṃ, bhante, samayaṃ bhagavā sakkesu viharati nagarakaṃ nāma sakyānaṃ nigamo. | “Sir, this one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Sakyans where they have a town named Nagaraka. | “世尊,有一次,佛陀住在释迦族人的地方,那里有一个名叫那伽罗的城镇。 |
| Tattha me, bhante, bhagavato sammukhā sutaṃ, sammukhā paṭiggahitaṃ: | There I heard and learned this in the presence of the Buddha: | 在那里,我在佛陀面前听到并学习到这个: |
| ‘suññatāvihārenāhaṃ, ānanda, etarahi bahulaṃ viharāmī’ti. | ‘Ānanda, these days I usually practice the meditation on emptiness.’ | ‘阿难,这些天我通常修习空性禅修。’ |
| Kacci metaṃ, bhante, sussutaṃ suggahitaṃ sumanasikataṃ sūpadhāritan”ti? | I trust I properly heard, learned, attended, and remembered that from the Buddha?” | 我相信我从佛陀那里听闻、学习、用心、记忆得当?” |
+121.2 – (empty of people and animals)
| “Taggha te etaṃ, ānanda, sussutaṃ suggahitaṃ sumanasikataṃ sūpadhāritaṃ. | “Indeed, Ānanda, you properly heard, learned, attended, and remembered that. | “确实如此,阿难,你听闻、学习、用心、记忆得当。 |
| Pubbepāhaṃ, ānanda, etarahipi suññatāvihārena bahulaṃ viharāmi. | Now, as before, I usually practice the meditation on emptiness. | 现在,如以前一样,我通常修习空性禅修。 |
| Seyyathāpi, ānanda, ayaṃ migāramātupāsādo suñño hatthigavassavaḷavena, suñño jātarūparajatena, suñño itthipurisasannipātena atthi cevidaṃ asuññataṃ yadidaṃ— | Consider this stilt longhouse of Migāra’s mother. It’s empty of elephants, cows, horses, and mares; of gold and money; and of gatherings of men and women. | 想想鹿子母讲堂。它没有大象、牛、马和母马;没有金钱;也没有男女聚会。 |
| bhikkhusaṃghaṃ paṭicca ekattaṃ; | There is only this that is not emptiness, namely, the singleness dependent on the monk Saṅgha. | 只有一件事不是空性,那就是依赖僧团的独一性。 |
| evameva kho, ānanda, bhikkhu amanasikaritvā gāmasaññaṃ, amanasikaritvā manussasaññaṃ, araññasaññaṃ paṭicca manasi karoti ekattaṃ. | In the same way, a monk—ignoring the perception of the village and the perception of people—focuses on the singleness dependent on the perception of wilderness. | 同样地,一位比丘——不理会村庄的知觉和人的知觉——专注于依赖荒野知觉的独一性。 |
| Tassa araññasaññāya cittaṃ pakkhandati pasīdati santiṭṭhati adhimuccati. | Their mind becomes eager, confident, settled, and decided in that perception of wilderness. | 他们的心在荒野知觉中变得渴望、自信、安住和决定。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sakkesu viharati kapilavatthusmiṃ nigrodhārāme. | At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Sakyans, near Kapilavatthu in the Banyan Tree Monastery. | 一时,佛陀住在释迦族人的地方,迦毘罗卫城附近的尼拘律园。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya kapilavatthuṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. | Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Kapilavatthu for alms. | 那时,佛陀清晨穿好衣服,拿起钵和袈裟,进入迦毘罗卫城乞食。 |
| Kapilavatthusmiṃ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yena kāḷakhemakassa sakkassa vihāro tenupasaṅkami divāvihārāya. | He wandered for alms in Kapilavatthu. After the meal, on his return from alms-round, he went to the dwelling of Kāḷakhemaka the Sakyan for the day’s meditation. | 他在迦毘罗卫城乞食。饭后,乞食归来,他前往释迦族人迦罗迦摩的住所,进行日间禅修。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena kāḷakhemakassa sakkassa vihāre sambahulāni senāsanāni paññattāni honti. | Now at that time several resting places had been spread out at Kāḷakhemaka’s dwelling. | 那时,迦罗迦摩的住所有几处休憩之所已铺设好。 |
| Addasā kho bhagavā kāḷakhemakassa sakkassa vihāre sambahulāni senāsanāni paññattāni. | The Buddha saw this, | 佛陀看到了, |
| Disvāna bhagavato etadahosi: | and wondered: | 并心想: |
| “sambahulāni kho kāḷakhemakassa sakkassa vihāre senāsanāni paññattāni. | “Several resting places have been spread out; | “几处休憩之所已铺设好; |
| Sambahulā nu kho idha bhikkhū viharantī”ti. | are there several monks living here?” | 这里有几位比丘住在吗?” |
| Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā ānando sambahulehi bhikkhūhi saddhiṃ ghaṭāya sakkassa vihāre cīvarakammaṃ karoti. | Now at that time Venerable Ānanda, together with several other monks, was making robes in Ghaṭa the Sakyan’s dwelling. | 那时,阿难尊者和几位比丘正在释迦族人伽陀的住所缝制袈裟。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā sāyanhasamayaṃ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yena ghaṭāya sakkassa vihāro tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi. | Then in the late afternoon, the Buddha came out of retreat and went to Ghaṭa’s dwelling, where he sat on the seat spread out | 那时,傍晚时分,佛陀从禅修中出来,前往伽陀的住所,他坐在铺好的座位上, |
| Nisajja kho bhagavā āyasmantaṃ ānandaṃ āmantesi: | and said to Venerable Ānanda: | 然后对阿难尊者说: |
| “sambahulāni kho, ānanda, kāḷakhemakassa sakkassa vihāre senāsanāni paññattāni. | “Several resting places have been spread out at Kāḷakhemaka’s dwelling; | “迦罗迦摩的住所有几处休憩之所已铺设好; |
| Sambahulā nu kho ettha bhikkhū viharantī”ti? “Sambahulāni, bhante, kāḷakhemakassa sakkassa vihāre senāsanāni paññattāni. |
are several monks living there?” | 有几位比丘住在那里吗?” |
| Sambahulā bhikkhū ettha viharanti. | “Indeed there are, sir. | “确实有,世尊。 |

| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 我曾这样听说。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. | 有一次,佛陀住在舍卫城附近,祇树给孤独园。 |
| Atha kho sambahulānaṃ bhikkhūnaṃ pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkantānaṃ upaṭṭhānasālāyaṃ sannisinnānaṃ sannipatitānaṃ ayamantarākathā udapādi: | Then after the meal, on return from alms-round, several senior monks sat together in the pavilion and this discussion came up among them: | 午饭后,乞食归来,几位资深比丘坐在亭子里,他们之间展开了这样的讨论: |
| “acchariyaṃ, āvuso, abbhutaṃ, āvuso. Tathāgatassa mahiddhikatā mahānubhāvatā, | “It’s incredible, reverends, it’s amazing, the power and might of a Realized One! | “诸位大德,真是不可思议,真是奇妙,如来具足大威神力! |
| yatra hi nāma tathāgato atīte buddhe parinibbute chinnapapañce chinnavaṭume pariyādinnavaṭṭe sabbadukkhavītivatte jānissati: | For he is able to know the Buddhas of the past who have become completely nirvana'd, cut off proliferation, cut off the track, finished off the cycle, and transcended suffering. | 因为他能够了知过去那些已完全涅槃、断除戏论、断除踪迹、了结轮回、超越痛苦的佛陀。 |
| ‘evaṃjaccā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipi, ‘evaṃnāmā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipi, ‘evaṃgottā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipi, ‘evaṃsīlā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipi, ‘evaṃdhammā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipi, ‘evaṃpaññā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipi, ‘evaṃvihārī te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipi, ‘evaṃvimuttā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ’ itipī”ti. | He knows the caste they were born in, and also their names, clans, conduct, teaching, wisdom, meditation, and freedom.” | 他知道他们出生的种姓,以及他们的名字、氏族、行为、教法、智慧、禅定和解脱。” |
| Evaṃ vutte, āyasmā ānando te bhikkhū etadavoca: | When they said this, Venerable Ānanda said: | 当他们这样说时,尊者阿难说: |
| “acchariyā ceva, āvuso, tathāgatā acchariyadhammasamannāgatā ca; | “The Realized Ones are incredible, reverends, and they have incredible qualities. | “诸位大德,如来不可思议,他们具有不可思议的品质。 |
| abbhutā ceva, āvuso, tathāgatā abbhutadhammasamannāgatā cā”ti. | They’re amazing, and they have amazing qualities.” | 他们真是了不起,他们具有了不起的品质。” |
| Ayañca hidaṃ tesaṃ bhikkhūnaṃ antarākathā vippakatā hoti. | But this conversation among those monks was left unfinished. | 但是这些比丘之间的谈话没有结束。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā sāyanhasamayaṃ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yenupaṭṭhānasālā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi. | Then in the late afternoon, the Buddha came out of retreat, went to the assembly hall, sat down on the seat spread out, | 傍晚时分,佛陀出定,来到集会堂,坐在铺好的座位上, |
| Nisajja kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: | and addressed the monks: | 然后对比丘们说: |
| “kāya nuttha, bhikkhave, etarahi kathāya sannisinnā, kā ca pana vo antarākathā vippakatā”ti? | “monks, what were you sitting talking about just now? What conversation was unfinished?” | “比丘们,你们刚才坐在一起谈论什么?什么谈话没有结束?” |
| “Idha, bhante, amhākaṃ pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkantānaṃ upaṭṭhānasālāyaṃ sannisinnānaṃ sannipatitānaṃ ayamantarākathā udapādi: ‘acchariyaṃ, āvuso, abbhutaṃ, āvuso, tathāgatassa mahiddhikatā mahānubhāvatā, yatra hi nāma tathāgato atīte buddhe parinibbute chinnapapañce chinnavaṭume pariyādinnavaṭṭe sabbadukkhavītivatte jānissati— evaṃjaccā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ itipi, evaṃnāmā … evaṅgottā … evaṃsīlā … evaṃdhammā … evaṃpaññā … evaṃvihārī … evaṃvimuttā te bhagavanto ahesuṃ itipī’ti. Evaṃ vutte, bhante, āyasmā ānando amhe etadavoca: ‘acchariyā ceva, āvuso, tathāgatā acchariyadhammasamannāgatā ca; abbhutā ceva, āvuso, tathāgatā abbhutadhammasamannāgatā cā’ti. Ayaṃ kho no, bhante, antarākathā vippakatā; atha bhagavā anuppatto”ti. |
So the monks told him what they had been talking about when the Buddha arrived. The Buddha said: | 于是比丘们将他们谈论的内容告诉了佛陀。佛陀说: |
| Atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṃ ānandaṃ āmantesi: | ||
| “tasmātiha taṃ, ānanda, bhiyyoso mattāya paṭibhantu tathāgatassa acchariyā abbhutadhammā”ti. | “So, Ānanda, say some more about the incredible and amazing qualities of the Realized One.” | “那么,阿难,再说一些关于如来不可思议和奇妙的品质吧。” |

Opening
+127.1 – (layman Pañcakaṅga invites Anuruddha for meal offering, accepted)
| Anuruddhasutta | With Anuruddha | 与阿那律 |
| Evaṁ me sutaṁ— ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. | So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. | 我听到了。曾几何时,佛陀住在舍卫城附近的祇园精舍,阿那邠坻迦的寺院。 |
| Atha kho pañcakaṅgo thapati aññataraṁ purisaṁ āmantesi: “ehi tvaṁ, ambho purisa, yenāyasmā anuruddho tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā mama vacanena āyasmato anuruddhassa pāde sirasā vandāhi: ‘pañcakaṅgo, bhante, thapati āyasmato anuruddhassa pāde sirasā vandatī’ti; evañca vadehi: ‘adhivāsetu kira, bhante, āyasmā anuruddho pañcakaṅgassa thapatissa svātanāya attacatuttho bhattaṁ; yena ca kira, bhante, āyasmā anuruddho pagevataraṁ āgaccheyya; pañcakaṅgo, bhante, thapati bahukicco bahukaraṇīyo rājakaraṇīyenā’”ti. | And then the master builder Pañcakaṅga addressed a man, “Please, mister, go to Venerable Anuruddha, and in my name bow with your head to his feet. Say to him, ‘Sir, the master builder Pañcakaṅga bows with his head to your feet.’ And then ask him whether he might please accept tomorrow’s meal from Pañcakaṅga together with the monk Saṅgha. And ask whether he might please come earlier than usual, for Pañcakaṅga has many duties, and much work to do for the king.” | 那时,匠师般遮根伽对一个人说:“请,先生,去尊者阿那律那里,以我的名义,五体投地向他请安。对他说:‘尊者,匠师般遮根伽五体投地向您请安。’然后问他是否可以与僧伽一起接受般遮根伽明天的供养。并问他是否可以比平时早点来,因为般遮根伽有许多职责,还有很多工作要为国王做。” |

Adhivāsesi kho āyasmā anuruddho tuṇhībhāvena. | “Yes, sir,” that man replied. He did as Pañcakaṅga asked, and Venerable Anuruddha consented in silence. | “是,先生,”那人回答。他按照般遮根伽的要求做了,尊者阿那律默默地同意了。 |
| Atha kho āyasmā anuruddho tassā rattiyā accayena pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena pañcakaṅgassa thapatissa nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi.

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho pañcakaṅgo thapati āyasmantaṁ anuruddhaṁ etadavoca: | Then when the night had passed, Anuruddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went to Pañcakaṅga’s home, where he sat on the seat spread out. Then Pañcakaṅga served and satisfied Anuruddha with his own hands with a variety of delicious foods. When Anuruddha had eaten and washed his hands and bowl, Pañcakaṅga took a low seat, sat to one side, and said to him: | 然后当夜幕降临,阿那律早上穿好衣服,拿着钵和袈裟,去了般遮根伽的家,坐在铺好的座位上。然后般遮根伽亲手用各种美味的食物侍奉并满足了阿那律。当阿那律吃完饭,洗完手和钵后,般遮根伽坐到一个矮座上,坐到一边,对他说: |

| evaṃ me sutaṃ—ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā kosambiyaṃ viharati ghositārāme. | so i have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Kosambi, in Ghosita’s Monastery. | 我曾听闻。一时,佛陀住在拘睒弥的瞿师多园。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena kosambiyaṃ bhikkhū bhaṇḍanajātā kalahajātā vivādāpannā aññamaññaṃ mukhasattīhi vitudantā viharanti. | Now at that time the monks of Kosambi were arguing, quarreling, and fighting, continually wounding each other with barbed words. | 当时拘睒弥的比丘们争论、争吵、斗争,不断用尖刻的言语互相伤害。 |
| Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṃ ṭhito kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “idha, bhante, kosambiyaṃ bhikkhū bhaṇḍanajātā kalahajātā vivādāpannā aññamaññaṃ mukhasattīhi vitudantā viharanti. Sādhu, bhante, bhagavā yena te bhikkhū tenupasaṅkamatu anukampaṃ upādāyā”ti. Adhivāsesi bhagavā tuṇhībhāvena. | Then a monk went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and told him what was happening, adding: “Please, sir go to those monks out of compassion.” The Buddha consented in silence. | 于是,一位比丘来到佛陀面前,顶礼、站立在一旁,将所发生的一切告诉了他,并补充说:“世尊,请您出于慈悲去见那些比丘。”佛陀默许了。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā yena te bhikkhū tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā te bhikkhū etadavoca: “alaṃ, bhikkhave, mā bhaṇḍanaṃ, mā kalahaṃ, mā viggahaṃ, mā vivādan”ti. | Then the Buddha went up to those monks and said, “Enough, monks! Stop arguing, quarreling, and fighting.” | 然后佛陀走到那些比丘面前,说:“够了,比丘们!停止争论、争吵和斗争。” |
| Evaṃ vutte, aññataro bhikkhu bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “āgametu, bhante. Bhagavā dhammassāmī; appossukko, bhante, bhagavā diṭṭhadhammasukhavihāraṃ anuyutto viharatu; mayametena bhaṇḍanena kalahena viggahena vivādena paññāyissāmā”ti. | When he said this, one of the monks said to the Buddha, “Wait, sir! Let the Buddha, the Lord of the Dhamma, remain passive, dwelling in pleasureful meditation in the present life. We will be known for this arguing, quarreling, and fighting.” | 他说此话时,其中一位比丘对佛陀说:“等等,世尊!让佛陀,法的世尊,保持被动,在今生安乐禅修。我们将因这次争论、争吵和斗争而闻名。” |
| Dutiyampi kho bhagavā te bhikkhū etadavoca: “alaṃ, bhikkhave, mā bhaṇḍanaṃ, mā kalahaṃ, mā viggahaṃ, mā vivādan”ti. Dutiyampi kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “āgametu, bhante. Bhagavā dhammassāmī; appossukko, bhante, bhagavā diṭṭhadhammasukhavihāraṃ anuyutto viharatu; mayametena bhaṇḍanena kalahena viggahena vivādena paññāyissāmā”ti. Tatiyampi kho bhagavā te bhikkhū etadavoca: “alaṃ, bhikkhave, mā bhaṇḍanaṃ, mā kalahaṃ, mā viggahaṃ, mā vivādan”ti. | For a second time … and a third time the Buddha said to those monks, “Enough, monks! Stop arguing, quarreling, and fighting.” | 第二次……第三次,佛陀对那些比丘说:“够了,比丘们!停止争论、争吵和斗争。” |
| Tatiyampi kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “āgametu, bhante. Bhagavā dhammassāmī; appossukko, bhante, bhagavā diṭṭhadhammasukhavihāraṃ anuyutto viharatu; mayametena bhaṇḍanena kalahena viggahena vivādena paññāyissāmā”ti. | For a third time that monk said to the Buddha, “Wait, sir! Let the Buddha, the Lord of the Dhamma, remain passive, dwelling in pleasureful meditation in the present life. We will be known for this arguing, quarreling, and fighting.” | 第三次,那位比丘对佛陀说:“等等,世尊!让佛陀,法的世尊,保持被动,在今生安乐禅修。我们将因这次争论、争吵和斗争而闻名。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya kosambiṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. Kosambiyaṃ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto senāsanaṃ saṃsāmetvā pattacīvaramādāya ṭhitakova imā gāthā abhāsi: | Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Kosambi for alms. After the meal, on his return from alms-round, he set his lodgings in order. Taking his bowl and robe, he recited these verses while standing right there: | 然后佛陀早上穿好衣服,拿着钵和袈裟,进入拘睒弥乞食。饭后,从乞食回来,他整理好住所。拿着钵和袈裟,他站在那里诵读了这些偈语: |
+§1.5 – (verse)

+§2.1 – (Buddha encourages monk Baghu)
| Atha kho bhagavā ṭhitakova imā gāthā bhāsitvā yena bālakaloṇakāragāmo tenupasaṅkami. Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā bhagu bālakaloṇakāragāme viharati. Addasā kho āyasmā bhagu bhagavantaṃ dūratova āgacchantaṃ. Disvāna āsanaṃ paññapesi udakañca pādānaṃ dhovanaṃ. Nisīdi bhagavā paññatte āsane. Nisajja pāde pakkhālesi. Āyasmāpi kho bhagu bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. | After speaking these verses while standing, the Buddha went to the village of the child salt-miners, where Venerable Bhagu was staying at the time. Bhagu saw the Buddha coming off in the distance, so he spread out a seat and placed water for washing the feet. The Buddha sat on the seat spread out, and washed his feet. Bhagu bowed to the Buddha and sat down to one side. | 佛陀说完这些偈语后,便前往盐矿童村,那时尊者巴估住在那里。巴估远远地看到佛陀走过来,便铺好座位,放好洗脚水。佛陀坐在铺好的座位上,洗了脚。巴估向佛陀顶礼,然后坐到一旁。 |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho āyasmantaṃ bhaguṃ bhagavā etadavoca: “kacci, bhikkhu, khamanīyaṃ, kacci yāpanīyaṃ, kacci piṇḍakena na kilamasī”ti? | The Buddha said to him, “I hope you’re keeping well, monk; I hope you’re all right. And I hope you’re having no trouble getting alms-food.” | 佛陀对他说:“比丘,你一切安好吗?你身体无恙吗?乞食顺利吗?” |
| “Khamanīyaṃ bhagavā, yāpanīyaṃ bhagavā, na cāhaṃ, bhante, piṇḍakena kilamāmī”ti. | “I’m keeping well, sir; I’m all right. And I’m having no trouble getting alms-food.” | “世尊,我一切安好;我身体无恙。乞食顺利。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṃ bhaguṃ dhammiyā kathāya sandassetvā samādapetvā samuttejetvā sampahaṃsetvā uṭṭhāyāsanā yena pācīnavaṃsadāyo tenupasaṅkami. | Then the Buddha educated, encouraged, fired up, and inspired Bhagu with a Dhamma talk, after which he got up from his seat and set out for the Eastern Bamboo Park. | 然后佛陀用佛法开导、鼓励、激励和启发了巴估,之后便从座位上站起来,前往东方竹林园。 |
+§2.2 – (Park keeper tries to keep Buddha out, which means Buddha has shaved head and looks like regular monk, not those modern Buddha statues with solid gold skin tone and pineapple tumor growing out of his head)
| Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā ca anuruddho āyasmā ca nandiyo āyasmā ca kimilo pācīnavaṃsadāye viharanti. Addasā kho dāyapālo bhagavantaṃ dūratova āgacchantaṃ. Disvāna bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “mā, mahāsamaṇa, etaṃ dāyaṃ pāvisi. Santettha tayo kulaputtā attakāmarūpā viharanti. Mā tesaṃ aphāsumakāsī”ti. | Now at that time the venerables Anuruddha, Nandiya, and Kimbila were staying in the Eastern Bamboo Park. The park keeper saw the Buddha coming off in the distance and said to the Buddha, “Don’t come into this park, ascetic. There are three gentlemen who love themselves staying here. Don’t disturb them.” | 那时,尊者阿那律、难提、金毗罗住在东方竹林园。园丁远远地看到佛陀走过来,便对佛陀说:“沙门,请勿进入此园。这里有三位爱自己的尊者住在这里。请勿打扰他们。” |
+§2.3 – (Buddha then visits Anuruddha, Nandiya, and Kimbila)
| Assosi kho āyasmā anuruddho dāyapālassa bhagavatā saddhiṃ mantayamānassa. Sutvāna dāyapālaṃ etadavoca: “mā, āvuso dāyapāla, bhagavantaṃ vāresi. Satthā no bhagavā anuppatto”ti. | Anuruddha heard the park keeper conversing with the Buddha, and said to him, “Don’t keep the Buddha out, good park keeper! Our Teacher, the Blessed One, has arrived.” | 阿那律听到园丁与佛陀交谈,便对他说:“好园丁,不要将佛陀挡在外面!我们的导师,世尊,已经到了。” |
| Atha kho āyasmā anuruddho yenāyasmā ca nandiyo yenāyasmā ca kimilo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantañca nandiyaṃ āyasmantañca kimilaṃ etadavoca: “abhikkamathāyasmanto, abhikkamathāyasmanto, satthā no bhagavā anuppatto”ti. | Then Anuruddha went to Nandiya and Kimbila, and said to them, “Come forth, venerables, come forth! Our Teacher, the Blessed One, has arrived!” | 然后阿那律走到难提和金毗罗面前,对他们说:“出来吧,尊者们,出来吧!我们的导师,世尊,已经到了!” |
| Atha kho āyasmā ca anuruddho āyasmā ca nandiyo āyasmā ca kimilo bhagavantaṃ paccuggantvā eko bhagavato pattacīvaraṃ paṭiggahesi, eko āsanaṃ paññapesi, eko pādodakaṃ upaṭṭhapesi. Nisīdi bhagavā paññatte āsane. Nisajja pāde pakkhālesi. Tepi kho āyasmanto bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu. | Then Anuruddha, Nandiya, and Kimbila came out to greet the Buddha. One received his bowl and robe, one spread out a seat, and one set out water for washing his feet. The Buddha sat on the seat spread out and washed his feet. Those venerables bowed and sat down to one side. | 然后阿那律、难提和金毗罗出来迎接佛陀。一人接过他的钵和袈裟,一人铺好座位,一人放好洗脚水。佛陀坐在铺好的座位上,洗了脚。那些尊者顶礼后,坐到一旁。 |
+§2.4 – (3 of them live in harmony and assiduously)

And I hope you’re having no trouble getting alms-food.” | 佛陀对阿那律说:“阿那律和朋友们,你们一切安好吗?你们身体无恙吗?乞食顺利吗?” |
| “Khamanīyaṃ bhagavā, yāpanīyaṃ bhagavā, na ca mayaṃ, bhante, piṇḍakena kilamāmā”ti. | “We’re keeping well, sir; we’re all right. And we’re having no trouble getting alms-food.” | “世尊,我们一切安好;我们身体无恙。乞食顺利。” |

| “Taggha mayaṃ, bhante, samaggā sammodamānā avivadamānā khīrodakībhūtā aññamaññaṃ piyacakkhūhi sampassantā viharāmā”ti. | “Indeed, sir, we live in harmony as you say.” | “确实如此,世尊,我们正如您所说,和睦相处。” |
| “Yathā kathaṃ pana tumhe, anuruddhā, samaggā sammodamānā avivadamānā khīrodakībhūtā aññamaññaṃ piyacakkhūhi sampassantā viharathā”ti? | “But how do you live this way?” | “但你们是怎样这样生活的呢?” |

I think: ‘Why don’t I set aside my own ideas and just go along with these venerables’ ideas?’ And that’s what I do. Though we’re different in body, sir, we’re one in mind, it seems to me.” | “在这种情况下,世尊,我想:‘我很幸运,非常幸运,能与这样的精神同伴一起生活。’我始终如一地以身体、言语和意念对待这些尊者,无论公开还是私下。我想:‘我为什么不放下自己的想法,只听从这些尊者的想法呢?’我就是这样做的。世尊,虽然我们身体不同,但我们思想一致,在我看来。” |

Then they put away the seats, drinking water, and rubbish bin, and sweep the refectory. If someone sees that the pot of water for washing, drinking, or the toilet is empty they set it up. If he can’t do it, he summons another with a wave of the hand, and they set it up by lifting it with their hands. But we don’t break into speech for that reason. And every five days we sit together for the whole night and discuss the Dharmas. That’s how we live assiduously, ardent, and resolute.” | “在这种情况下,尊者,谁先从化缘回来,谁就准备座位,拿出饮用水和垃圾桶。如果有剩下什么,谁最后回来,如果喜欢就吃掉。否则就把它扔到没什么东西生长的地方,或者倒入没有活水生物的水中。然后他们收起座位、饮用水和垃圾桶,并打扫斋堂。如果有人看到洗涤、饮用或厕所的水壶是空的,他们就把它放好。如果他做不到,他就挥手叫另一个人,他们就用手抬起来放好。但我们不会为此而打断说话。每五天我们就会整夜坐在一起讨论佛法。我们就是这样精勤、热忱、坚定地生活的。” |

* MA 72 of the agamas has nearly identical portion with samadhi and 11 upakkilesas.
* Buddha before his awakening, describes how he removed 11 upakkilesa (a more expanded 5niv⛅).
* Then he charged up his samādhi for divine eye luminosity perception (ASND 🌕🌟 āloka sañña), a continuation of the theme of the previous sutta MN 127, and the Buddha doing the same in AN 8.64, using divine eye to converse with devas.
* Important note: luminosity perception in this context is emphatically not the visual nimitta prerequisite for the late Abhidhamma redefinition of "first jhāna" of VRJ👻🥶 and BRJ👻🥶, contrary to their erroneous claims.

* Important note: luminosity perception in this context is emphatically not the visual nimitta prerequisite for the late Abhidhamma redefinition of "first jhāna" of VRJ👻🥶 and BRJ👻🥶, contrary to their erroneous claims.

| Tamenaṃ, bhikkhave, nirayapālā pañcavidhabandhanaṃ nāma kammakāraṇaṃ karonti— | Then the wardens of hell punish them with the five-fold crucifixion. | 然后地狱的看守用五刑折磨他们。 |
| tattaṃ ayokhilaṃ hatthe gamenti, tattaṃ ayokhilaṃ dutiye hatthe gamenti, tattaṃ ayokhilaṃ pāde gamenti, tattaṃ ayokhilaṃ dutiye pāde gamenti, tattaṃ ayokhilaṃ majjheurasmiṃ gamenti. | They drive red-hot stakes through the hands and feet, and another in the middle of the chest. | 他们把烧红的木桩钉进手脚,另一根钉在胸口。 |
| So tattha dukkhā tibbā kharā kaṭukā vedanā vedeti, na ca tāva kālaṃ karoti yāva na taṃ pāpakammaṃ byantīhoti. | And there they feel painful, intense, severe, acute feelings—but they don’t die until that bad deed is eliminated. | 在那里,他们感受到剧烈、强烈、严酷、极度的痛苦——但他们不死,直到那恶业消除。 |
| Tamenaṃ, bhikkhave, nirayapālā saṃvesetvā kuṭhārīhi tacchanti … pe … | Then the wardens of hell throw them down and hack them with axes. … | 然后地狱的看守把他们扔下去,用斧头砍他们。…… |

| Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā samiddhi araññakuṭikāyaṃ viharati. | Now at that time Venerable Samiddhi was staying in a wilderness hut. | 那时,萨密底尊者正住在一间旷野茅屋里。 |

| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho potaliputto paribbājako āyasmantaṃ samiddhiṃ etadavoca: | When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side and said to him: | 问候和客套话结束后,他坐到一边,对他说: |
| “sammukhā metaṃ, āvuso samiddhi, samaṇassa gotamassa sutaṃ, sammukhā paṭiggahitaṃ: | “Reverend Samiddhi, I have heard and learned this in the presence of the ascetic Gotama: | “萨密底尊者,我在乔达摩苦行僧面前听闻并学到: |
| ‘moghaṃ kāyakammaṃ moghaṃ vacīkammaṃ, manokammameva saccan’ti. | ‘karma by way of body and speech are done in vain. Only mental karma are real.’ | ‘身业和语业是徒劳的。只有意业是真实的。’ |
| Atthi ca sā samāpatti yaṃ samāpattiṃ samāpanno na kiñci vediyatī”ti? | And: ‘There is such an attainment where the one who enters it does not feel anything at all.’” | 还有:‘有这样一种成就,进入它的人什么也感觉不到。’” |

“Don’t say that, Reverend Potaliputta, don’t say that! Don’t misrepresent the Buddha, for misrepresentation of the Buddha is not good. And the Buddha would not say this. | “波塔利普塔尊者,不要那样说,不要那样说!不要歪曲佛陀,因为歪曲佛陀是不好的。佛陀不会说这样的话。 |
| ‘Atthi ca kho sā, āvuso, samāpatti yaṃ samāpattiṃ samāpanno na kiñci vediyatī’”ti. | But, reverend, there is such an attainment where the one who enters it does not feel anything at all.” | 但是,尊者,确实有这样一种成就,进入它的人什么也感觉不到。” |
| “Kīvaciraṃ pabbajitosi, āvuso samiddhī”ti? | “Reverend Samiddhi, how long has it been since you went forth?” | “萨密底尊者,你出家多久了?” |
| “Na ciraṃ, āvuso, tīṇi vassānī”ti. | “Not long, reverend: three years.” | “不久,尊者:三年。” |
| “Ettha dāni mayaṃ there bhikkhū kiṃ vakkhāma, yatra hi nāma evaṃnavo bhikkhu satthāraṃ parirakkhitabbaṃ maññissati. | “Well now, what are we to say to the senior monks, when even such a junior monk imagines their Teacher needs defending? | “那么现在,我们对那些年长的比丘要说什么呢,即使是这样一位年轻的比丘也认为他们的老师需要辩护? |

| Anāthapiṇḍikovādasutta | Advice to Anāthapiṇḍika | 《给给孤独长的忠告》 |
| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— | So I have heard. | 如是我闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. | At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. | 一时,佛陀住在舍卫城,祇树林给孤独园。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena anāthapiṇḍiko gahapati ābādhiko hoti dukkhito bāḷhagilāno. | Now at that time the householder Anāthapiṇḍika was sick, suffering, gravely ill. | 那时,居士给孤独长病了,痛苦不堪,病情严重。 |
| Atha kho anāthapiṇḍiko gahapati aññataraṃ purisaṃ āmantesi: | Then he addressed a man: | 于是他吩咐一个人: |
| “ehi tvaṃ, ambho purisa, yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā mama vacanena bhagavato pāde sirasā vandāhi: | “Please, mister, go to the Buddha, and in my name bow with your head to his feet. Say to him: | “先生,请你去见佛陀,以我的名义向他顶礼。对他说: |
| ‘anāthapiṇḍiko, bhante, gahapati ābādhiko dukkhito bāḷhagilāno. | ‘Sir, the householder Anāthapiṇḍika is sick, suffering, gravely ill. | ‘世尊,居士给孤独长病了,痛苦不堪,病情严重。 |

| Yena cāyasmā sāriputto tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā mama vacanena āyasmato sāriputtassa pāde sirasā vandāhi: | Then go to Venerable Sāriputta, and in my name bow with your head to his feet. Say to him: | 然后去见尊者舍利弗,以我的名义向他顶礼。对他说: |
| ‘anāthapiṇḍiko, bhante, gahapati ābādhiko dukkhito bāḷhagilāno. | ‘Sir, the householder Anāthapiṇḍika is sick, suffering, gravely ill. | ‘世尊,居士给孤独长病了,痛苦不堪,病情严重。 |
| So āyasmato sāriputtassa pāde sirasā vandatī’ti. | He bows with his head to your feet.’ | 他向您顶礼。’ |
| Evañca vadehi: | And then say: | 然后说: |
| ‘sādhu kira, bhante, āyasmā sāriputto yena anāthapiṇḍikassa gahapatissa nivesanaṃ tenupasaṅkamatu anukampaṃ upādāyā’”ti. | ‘Sir, please visit him at his home out of compassion.’” | ‘世尊,请慈悲地到他家中探望他。’” |
| “Evaṃ, bhante”ti kho so puriso anāthapiṇḍikassa gahapatissa paṭissutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho so puriso bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: “anāthapiṇḍiko, bhante, gahapati ābādhiko dukkhito bāḷhagilāno. So bhagavato pāde sirasā vandatī”ti. Yena cāyasmā sāriputto tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṃ sāriputtaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho so puriso āyasmantaṃ sāriputtaṃ etadavoca: “anāthapiṇḍiko, bhante, gahapati ābādhiko dukkhito bāḷhagilāno. So āyasmato sāriputtassa pāde sirasā vandati; evañca vadeti: ‘sādhu kira, bhante, āyasmā sāriputto yena anāthapiṇḍikassa gahapatissa nivesanaṃ tenupasaṅkamatu anukampaṃ upādāyā’”ti. |
“Yes, sir,” that man replied. He did as Anāthapiṇḍika asked. | “好的,先生,”那人答道。他按照给孤独长的吩咐做了。 |
| Adhivāsesi kho āyasmā sāriputto tuṇhībhāvena. | Sāriputta consented in silence. | 舍利弗默默地同意了。 |

He sat down on the seat spread out, and said to Anāthapiṇḍika: | 于是尊者舍利弗清晨披上袈裟,持钵持衣,与尊者阿难一同前往给孤独长家中。他坐在铺好的座位上,对给孤独长说: |

That’s how severe the burning is in my body. | 我身体的灼热如此剧烈,感觉就像两个强壮的人抓住一个较弱的人的手臂,把他放在一堆发光的炭火上烧灼。我的身体就是如此剧烈的灼热。 |
| Na me, bhante sāriputta, khamanīyaṃ na yāpanīyaṃ.

| “Yathā kathaṃ pana, uttara, deseti pārāsiviyo brāhmaṇo sāvakānaṃ indriyabhāvanan”ti? | “But how does he teach it?” | “但他如何教导呢?” |

| “Idha, bho gotama, cakkhunā rūpaṃ na passati, sotena saddaṃ na suṇāti— | “Master Gotama, it’s when the eye sees no sight and the ear hears no sound. | “乔达摩大师,就是眼睛看不见任何东西,耳朵听不见任何声音。 |
| evaṃ kho, bho gotama, deseti pārāsiviyo brāhmaṇo sāvakānaṃ indriyabhāvanan”ti. | That’s how Pārāsariya teaches his disciples the development of the faculties.” | 帕拉沙里亚就是这样教导他的弟子们根的培养的。” |
+§0.2 – (then blind and deaf have developed faculties)
| “Evaṃ sante kho, uttara, andho bhāvitindriyo bhavissati, badhiro bhāvitindriyo bhavissati; | “In that case, Uttara, a blind person and a deaf person will have developed faculties | “既然如此,乌塔拉,一个盲人和一个聋人,根据帕拉沙里亚的说法,就会有已培养的根。 |

| Andho hi, uttara, cakkhunā rūpaṃ na passati, badhiro sotena saddaṃ na suṇātī”ti. | For a blind person sees no sight with the eye and a deaf person hears no sound with the ear.” | 他说这话时,乌塔拉沉默了,感到尴尬,垂头丧气,沮丧,无话可说。 |
| Evaṃ vutte, uttaro māṇavo pārāsiviyantevāsī tuṇhībhūto maṅkubhūto pattakkhandho adhomukho pajjhāyanto appaṭibhāno nisīdi. | When he said this, Uttara sat silent, embarrassed, shoulders drooping, downcast, depressed, with nothing to say. |
