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,

「色無常。 “Form is impermanent.

若因、若緣生諸色者,彼亦無常。 Whatever causes and conditions give rise to forms, they are also impermanent.

無常因、無常緣所生諸色,云何有常? How could forms that arise from impermanent causes and conditions be permanent?

受⋯想⋯行⋯識無常。 Thus, feeling … conception … volition … awareness is impermanent.

若因、若緣生諸識者,彼亦無常。 Whatever causes and conditions give rise to instances of awareness, they are also impermanent.

無常因、無常緣所生諸識,云何有常? How could instances of awareness that arise from impermanent causes and conditions be permanent?

「如是,比丘,色無常。 “Thus, monks, form is impermanent.

受⋯想⋯行⋯識無常。 Feeling … conception … volition … awareness is impermanent.

無常者則是苦,苦者則非我,非我者則非我所。 What’s impermanent is painful, something painful is not self, and something that’s not self doesn’t belong to self.

如是觀者名真實觀。 Observing in this way is called true observation.

聖弟子如是觀者於色解脫,於受⋯想⋯行⋯識解脫。 “Noble disciples who observe it in this way are liberated from form …

我說是等為解脫生、老、病、死、憂、悲、苦、惱。」 liberated from feeling … conception … volition … awareness.

時,諸比丘聞佛所說歡喜,奉行。 When the monks heard what the Buddha taught, they rejoiced and approved.
