如是我聞: Thus I have heard:
一時,佛住舍衞國、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,
「我昔於色味有求,有行。 “In the past, I had pursued and practiced the enjoyment of form.
若於色味隨順覺,則於色味以智慧如實見。 When I realized the enjoyment of form as a result, I truly saw it with wisdom.
如是,於受⋯想⋯行⋯識味有求,有行。 Thus, I had pursued and practiced the enjoyment of feeling … conception … volition … awareness.
若於受⋯想⋯行⋯識味隨順覺,則於識味以智慧如實見。 When I realized the enjoyment of feeling … conception … volition … awareness as a result, I truly saw it with wisdom.
「諸比丘,我於色患有求,有行。 “Monks, I pursued and practiced the trouble of form.
若於色患隨順覺,則於色患以智慧如實見。 When I realized form’s trouble as a result, I truly saw it with wisdom.
如是,受⋯想⋯行⋯識患有求,有行。 Thus, I pursued and practiced the trouble of feeling … conception … volition … awareness.
若於識患隨順覺,則於識患以智慧如實見。 When I realized the trouble of awareness as a result, I truly saw it with wisdom.
「諸比丘,我於色離有求,有行。 “Monks, I pursued and practiced the escape from form.
若於色離隨順覺,則於色離以智慧如實見。 When I realized the escape from form as a result, I truly saw it with wisdom.
如是,受⋯想⋯行⋯識離有求,有行。 Thus, I pursued and practiced the escape from feeling … conception … volition … awareness.
若於受⋯想⋯行⋯識離隨順覺,則於受⋯想⋯行⋯識離以智慧如實見。 When I realized the escape from awareness as a result, I truly saw it with wisdom.
「諸比丘,我於五受陰不如實知味是味⋯患是患⋯離是離者, “Monks, had I not truly known the enjoyment of the five acquired aggregates to be enjoyment … trouble to be trouble … escape to be escape, I wouldn’t be freed, escaped, and parted with them.
我於諸天,若魔、若梵,沙門、婆羅門,天、人眾中不脫,不離,不出,永住顛倒,不能自證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。 I would have forever stood in delusion among gods like Māra or Brahmā, ascetics and priests, or the assemblies of gods and humans, and I couldn’t have realized my attainment of the unsurpassed and complete awakening.
「諸比丘,我以如實知五受陰味是味⋯患是患⋯離是離,我於諸天若魔、若梵,沙門、婆羅門,天、人眾中以脫,以離,以出,永不住顛倒。 “Monks, it’s because I truly knew the enjoyment of the five acquired aggregates to be enjoyment … trouble to be trouble … escape to be escape that I was freed, escaped, parted, and liberated from bondage.
能自證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。 I never again stood in delusion among gods like Māra or Brahmā, ascetics and priests, or the assemblies of gods and humans, and I could realize my attainment of the unsurpassed and complete awakening.”
時,諸比丘聞佛所說歡喜,奉行。 When the monks heard what the Buddha taught, they rejoiced and approved.
