（八） 過去四種說 11-14 (8). The Past Is Impermanent, Painful, Empty, and Not Self
如是我聞： Thus I have heard:
一時，佛住舍衛國、祇樹、給孤獨園。 One time, the Buddha was staying at Anāthapiṇḍada’s Park in Jeta’s Grove of Śrāvastī.
爾時，世尊告諸比丘： It was then that the Bhagavān addressed the monks,
「過去、未來色無常，況現在色？ “Past and future form are [11] impermanent … [12] painful … [13] empty … [14] not self, so why wouldn’t that be for present form?
聖弟子如是觀者不顧過去色，不欲未來色。 Noble disciples who observe them in this way don’t look back to past form or wish for future form.
於現在色厭，離欲，正向滅盡。 Regarding present form, they become disillusioned, free of desire, and headed straight to its cessation.
「如是，過去、未來受⋯想⋯行⋯識無常，況現在識？ “Thus, past and future feeling … conception … volition … awareness are [11] impermanent … [12] painful … [13] empty … [14] not self, so why wouldn’t that be for present awareness?
聖弟子如是觀者不顧過去識，不欣未來識。 Noble disciples who observe them in this way don’t look back to past awareness or wish for future awareness.
於現在識厭，離欲，正向滅盡。」 Regarding present awareness, they become disillusioned, free of desire, and headed straight to its cessation.”
（如「無常」、「苦」、「空」、「非我」亦復如是。） (Like “impermanent,” “pain,” “emptiness,” and “not self” are taught in the same way.)
時，諸比丘聞佛所說歡喜，奉行。 When the monks heard what the Buddha taught, they rejoiced and approved.
