Thus have I heard: | 闻如是： |
At one time, the Buddha was at Anāthapiṇḍada's Park in the Jeta Grove near Śrāvastī. | 一时，佛在舍卫国祇树给孤独园。 |
At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikṣus, "The bhikṣu who practices in the wilderness should cultivate two dharmas. What are the two dharmas? They are tranquility and insight. If the bhikṣu who practices in the wilderness attains tranquility, he will accomplish the precepts, not lose the deportment, not violate the precepts, and create various merits. If the bhikṣu who practices in the wilderness attains insight, he will then contemplate suffering and know it as it is. He will contemplate the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path to the cessation of suffering, and know them as they are. Having contemplated in this way, he will be liberated from the defilements of desire, existence, and ignorance, and attain the knowledge of liberation: 'Birth and death are exhausted, the holy life has been established, what was to be done has been done, and there will be no more future lives.' He knows this as it is. | 尔时，世尊告诸比丘：「阿练比丘当修行二法。云何二法？所谓止与观也。若阿练比丘得休息止，则戒律成就，不失威仪，不犯禁行，作诸功德。若复阿练比丘得观已，便观此苦，如实知之。观苦习、观苦尽、观苦出要，如实知之。彼如是观已，欲漏心解脱，有漏心、无明漏心得解脱，便得解脱智：生死已尽，梵行已立，所作已办，更亦不复受有，如实知之。 |
"The past Tathāgatas, Arhats, and Perfectly Enlightened Ones all accomplished this through these two dharmas. Because when the Bodhisattva was sitting under the Bodhi tree, he first contemplated these dharmas of tranquility and insight. If the Bodhisattva-Mahasattva attains tranquility, he will be able to subdue the demon Mara; if the Bodhisattva attains insight, he will then attain the three kinds of knowledge and accomplish unsurpassed perfect enlightenment. Therefore, bhikṣus, the bhikṣu who practices in the wilderness should seek skillful means to practice these two dharmas. Thus, bhikṣus, you should train in this way." | 「过去诸多萨阿竭、阿罗诃、三耶三佛，皆由此二法而得成就。所以然者，犹如菩萨坐树王下时，先思惟此法止与观也。若菩萨摩诃萨得止已，便能降伏魔怨；若复菩萨得观已，寻成三达智，成无上至真、等正觉。是故，诸比丘！阿练比丘当求方便，行此二法。如是，诸比丘！当作是学。」 |
At that time, the bhikṣus, having heard the Buddha's teaching, joyfully received and upheld it. | 尔时，诸比丘闻佛所说，欢喜奉行。 |
