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,有異比丘來詣佛所。 There was then a certain monk who came to visit the Buddha.
頭面禮足,却住一面,白佛言: He bowed his head at the Buddha’s feet, withdrew to stand at one side, and said to the Buddha,
「世尊,如世尊所說『得見法涅槃』。 “Bhagavān, the Bhagavān says ‘attain nirvāṇa in the present life.’
云何比丘得見法涅槃?」 How does a monk attain nirvāṇa in the present life?”
佛告比丘: The Buddha told the monk,
「善哉,善哉!汝今欲知見法涅槃耶?」 “Good, good! Do you want now to know about nirvāṇa in the present life?”
比丘白佛: The monk said to the Buddha,
「唯然,世尊。」 “Indeed, Bhagavān.”
佛告比丘: The Buddha told the monk,
「諦聽,善思。 “[Listen closely!] Listen closely, and consider it well.
當為汝說。」 I will explain it for you.”
佛告比丘: The Buddha told the monk,
「於色生厭、離欲、滅盡,不起諸漏,心正解脫。 “Becoming disillusioned with form, becoming free of desire for it, and completely ceasing it, the contaminants don’t arise, and the mind is properly liberated.
是名比丘見法涅槃。 This is called a monk who attains nirvāṇa in the present life.
如是受、想、行、識⋯於識生厭、離欲、滅盡,不起諸漏,心正解脫。 It’s the same with feeling, conception, volition, and awareness … becoming disillusioned with awareness, becoming free of desire for it, and completely ceasing it, the contaminants don’t arise, and the mind is properly liberated.
是名比丘見法涅槃。」 This is called a monk who attains nirvāṇa in the present life.”
時,彼比丘聞佛所說踊躍,歡喜。 When that monk heard what the Buddha taught, he celebrated and rejoiced.
作禮而去。 He then bowed and departed.
