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 Venerable Mahākāśyapa was staying in the Deer Park Lecture Hall in the Eastern Garden of Śrāvastī. In the afternoon, he emerged from meditation and went to where the World-Honored One was. He bowed his head at the Buddha's feet and sat to one side. | 尔时，尊者摩诃迦叶住舍卫国东园鹿子母讲堂，晡时从禅觉，诣世尊所，稽首礼足，退坐一面。 |
The Buddha told Kāśyapa, "You should instruct and admonish the bhikṣus! Teach the Dharma to the bhikṣus, instruct and admonish them. Why is that? I always teach the Dharma to the bhikṣus, instruct and admonish them, and you should also do the same." | 佛告迦叶：「汝当教授、教诫诸比丘！为诸比丘说法教诫、教授。所以者何？我常为诸比丘说法教诫、教授，汝亦应尔。」 |
The Venerable Mahākāśyapa said to the Buddha, "World-Honored One! It is difficult to teach the Dharma to the bhikṣus now. If one teaches the Dharma, there will be bhikṣus who are impatient and displeased." | 尊者摩诃迦叶白佛言：「世尊！今诸比丘难可为说法，若说法者，当有比丘不忍、不喜。」 |
The Buddha told Kāśyapa, "What causes and conditions have you seen that make you say this?" | 佛告迦叶：「汝见何等因缘而作是说？」 |
Mahākāśyapa said to the Buddha, "World-Honored One! If a bhikṣu has no faith and respect for good dharmas, he will regress when hearing the Dharma. If a person of evil wisdom has no diligence, shame, or wisdom in good dharmas, he will regress when hearing the Dharma. If a person is greedy, hateful, sleepy, agitated, doubtful, arrogant in body, angry, forgetful, unstable, and unwise, he will regress when hearing the Dharma. World-Honored One! Such evil people cannot even make their minds abide in good dharmas, let alone progress. One should know that for them, good dharmas will diminish day and night, and cannot increase. | 摩诃迦叶白佛言：「世尊！若有比丘于诸善法无信敬心，若闻说法，彼则退没。若恶智人于诸善法无精进、惭愧、智慧，闻说法者，彼则退没，若人贪欲、瞋恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑惑，身行慠暴，忿恨失念，不定无智，闻说法者，彼则退没。世尊！如是比诸恶人者，尚不能令心住善法，况复增进！当知是辈，随其日夜，善法退减，不能增长。 |
World-Honored One! If a person has pure faith in good dharmas, he will not regress; if he has diligence, shame, and wisdom in good dharmas, he will not regress; if he is not greedy, hateful, sleepy, agitated, regretful, or doubtful, he will not regress; if his body is not arrogant and his mind is not defiled, if he is not angry, resentful, has a concentrated mind, right mindfulness, and wisdom, he will not regress. Such a person will increase in good dharmas day and night, let alone abiding in the mind. This person will always seek progress day and night, never regressing. | 「世尊！若有士夫于诸善法信心清净，是则不退；于诸善法精进、惭愧、智慧，是则不退，不贪，不恚、睡眠、掉悔、疑惑，是则不退；身不弊暴，心不染污，不忿，不恨，定心正念智慧，是则不退。如是人者，于诸善法日夜增长，况复心住，此人日夜常求胜进，终不退减。」 |
The Buddha told Kāśyapa, "So it is, so it is. Those who have no faith in good dharmas will regress..." and so on, as Kāśyapa had explained in detail. | 佛告迦叶：「如是，如是。于诸善法无信心者，是则退减……」亦如迦叶次第广说。 |
At that time, Venerable Mahākāśyapa, having heard the Buddha's teaching, rejoiced and followed it. He rose from his seat, bowed, and departed. | 时，尊者摩诃迦叶闻佛所说，欢喜随喜，从座起，作礼而去。 |
