SA 230（二三〇） 三弥离提
Parallel to: SN 35.65–68
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, there was a bhikṣu named Samīlīti who went to where the Buddha was, bowed his head at the Buddha’s feet, sat to one side, and said to the Buddha, “World-Honored One! What is meant by the world? What is called the world?” | 时，有比丘名三弥离提，往诣佛所，稽首佛足，退坐一面，白佛言：「世尊！所谓世间者，云何名世间？」 |
The Buddha told Samīlīti, “It means the eye, form, eye consciousness, eye contact, and the feeling that arises from eye contact as a condition, which is experienced internally as either painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant. The ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, dharmas, mental consciousness, mental contact, and the feeling that arises from mental contact as a condition, which is experienced internally as either painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, is called the world. Why is that? The arising of the six sense bases is the arising of contact, and so on up to the arising of the great mass of suffering. | 佛告三弥离提：「谓眼、色、眼识、眼触、眼触因缘生受，内觉若苦、若乐、不苦不乐。耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法、意识、意触、意触因缘生受，内觉若苦、若乐、不苦不乐，是名世间。所以者何？六入处集则触集，如是乃至纯大苦聚集。 |
Samīlīti! If there is no eye, no form, no eye consciousness, no eye contact, and no feeling that arises from eye contact as a condition, which is experienced internally as either painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant; if there is no ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, dharmas, mental consciousness, mental contact, and no feeling that arises from mental contact as a condition, which is experienced internally as either painful, pleasant, or neither painful nor pleasant, then there is no world, and the world is not established. Why is that? The cessation of the six sense bases is the cessation of contact, and so on up to the cessation of the great mass of suffering. | 「三弥离提！若无彼眼、无色、无眼识、无眼触、无眼触因缘生受，内觉若苦、若乐、不苦不乐；无耳、鼻、舌、身、意、法、意识、意触、意触因缘生受，内觉若苦、若乐、若不苦不乐者，则无世间，亦不施设世间。所以者何？六入处灭则触灭，如是乃至纯大苦聚灭故。」 |
Having spoken this sūtra, the bhikṣus were delighted and practiced accordingly. | 佛说此经已，诸比丘闻佛所说，欢喜奉行。 |
Just as in the world, so too are sentient beings, so too is Māra, and so it is said. | 如世间。如是众生、如是魔，亦如是说。 |
