SĀ 1

Saṃyuktāgama杂阿含经

SA 1(一) 无常

Thus have I heard:

如是我闻:

At one time the Buddha was staying at Anāthapiṇḍada’s Park in the Jeta Grove near Śrāvastī.

一时,佛住舍卫国祇树给孤独园。

At that time the World-Honored One told the bhikṣus, "Contemplate form as impermanent. Those who contemplate in this way are contemplating correctly. Those who contemplate correctly will give rise to disenchantment; those who are disenchanted will exhaust the craving for joy; those who exhaust the craving for joy are said to have liberated minds.

尔时,世尊告诸比丘:「当观色无常。如是观者,则为正观。正观者,则生厌离;厌离者,喜贪尽;喜贪尽者,说心解脱。

Contemplate feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness as impermanent. Those who contemplate in this way are contemplating correctly. Those who contemplate correctly will give rise to disenchantment; those who are disenchanted will exhaust the craving for joy; those who exhaust the craving for joy are said to have liberated minds.

「如是观受、想、行、识无常。如是观者,则为正观。正观者,则生厌离;厌离者,喜贪尽;喜贪尽者,说心解脱。

"Thus, bhikṣus, those whose minds are liberated, if they wish to realize it for themselves, can realize it for themselves: 'My birth is ended, the holy life has been established, what was to be done has been done, I know that I will not be subject to any future lives.'"

「如是,比丘!心解脱者,若欲自证,则能自证:『我生已尽,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受后有。』

"The contemplation of impermanence, suffering, emptiness, and non-self is also like this."

「如观无常,苦、空、非我亦复如是。」

At that time, the bhikṣus, having heard the Buddha's teaching, joyfully received and practiced it.

时,诸比丘闻佛所说,欢喜奉行。
