SA 1044(一〇四四) 鞞纽多罗

Thus have I heard:

如是我闻:

Once, the Buddha was traveling among the people of Kosala and arrived at the northern forest of Sineru near the village of Venuvana. The brahmins and elders of the village of Venuvana heard that the World-Honored One was staying in the northern forest of Sineru near the village. Having heard this, they gathered together and went to the northern forest of Sineru, where they approached the World-Honored One. They exchanged greetings and, after sitting to one side,

一时,佛住在拘萨罗人间游行,至鞞纽多罗聚落北身恕林中住。鞞纽多罗聚落婆罗门长者闻世尊住聚落北身恕林中,闻已,共相招引,往诣身恕林,至世尊所,面相慰劳已,退坐一面。

At that time, the World-Honored One said to the brahmin elders, "I shall explain to you the Dharma of self-realization. Listen well and consider it carefully. What is the Dharma of self-realization? It is that a noble disciple practices thus: 'I think like this: "If there is someone who wants to kill me, I do not like it. If I do not like it, others will be the same. How can I kill them?" Having realized this, I accept not killing, do not enjoy killing..." as explained above. "If I do not like others stealing from me, others will not like it either. How can I steal from others? Therefore, I uphold the precept of not stealing, do not enjoy stealing..." as explained above. "If I do not like others violating my wife, others will not like it either. How can I violate others' wives? Therefore, I uphold the precept of not engaging in sexual misconduct..." as explained above. "I do not like others deceiving me, others will be the same. How can I deceive others? Therefore, I uphold the precept of not speaking falsely..." as explained above. "I do not like others separating me from my friends, others will be the same. How can I separate others from their friends? Therefore, I do not engage in divisive speech. I do not like others speaking harshly to me, others will be the same. How can I speak harshly to others? Therefore, I do not speak harshly to others..." as explained above. "I do not like others speaking frivolously, others will be the same. How can I speak frivolously to others? Therefore, I do not engage in frivolous speech..." as explained above. "These seven are called the noble precepts.

尔时,世尊告婆罗门长者:「我当为说自通之法。谛听,善思。何等自通之法?谓圣弟子作如是学:『我作是念:「若有欲杀我者,我不喜;我若所不喜,他亦如是。云何杀彼?」作是觉已,受不杀生,不乐杀生……』」如上说。「我若不喜人盗于我,他亦不喜,我云何盗他?是故持不盗戒,不乐于盗……」如上说。「我既不喜人侵我妻,他亦不喜,我今云何侵人妻妇?是故受持不他婬戒……」如上说。「我尚不喜为人所欺,他亦如是,云何欺他?是故受持不妄语戒……」如上说。「我尚不喜他人离我亲友,他亦如是,我今云何离他亲友?是故不行两舌。我尚不喜人加麁言,他亦如是,云何于他而起骂辱?是故于他不行恶口……」如上说。「我尚不喜人作绮语,他亦如是,云何于他而作绮语?是故于他不行绮饰……」如上说。「如是七种,名为圣戒。

"Moreover, they accomplish the unshakable faith in the Buddha, the unshakable faith in the Dharma, and the unshakable faith in the Sangha. These are called the noble disciples' accomplishment of the four unshakable faiths. They can observe and declare for themselves: 'My hell is exhausted, my animal realm and hungry ghost realm are exhausted, all evil destinies are exhausted. I have attained the state of a stream-enterer, not subject to falling into evil destinies, definitely progressing toward supreme perfect enlightenment, taking seven more rebirths as a god or human, ultimately ending suffering.'"

「又复于佛不坏净成就,于法、僧不坏净成就,是名圣弟子四不坏净成就。自现前观察,能自记说:『我地狱尽,畜生、饿鬼尽,一切恶趣尽,得须陀洹,不堕恶趣法,决定正向三菩提,七有天人往生,究竟苦边。』」

At that time, the brahmins and elders of Venuvana heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and followed his teachings, rose from their seats, and departed.

时,鞞纽聚落婆罗门长者闻佛所说,欢喜随喜,从坐起而去。
