SA 31（三一） 输屡那
Parallel to: SN 22.50
Thus have I heard: | 如是我闻： |
At one time the Buddha was staying at the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rājagṛha. | 一时，佛住王舍城迦兰陀竹园。 |
At that time, Venerable Śāriputra was on Vulture Peak. | 尔时，尊者舍利弗在耆阇崛山。 |
At that time, there was a young householder named Sūrpāraka who traveled around every day. He went to Vulture Peak and approached Śāriputra. He bowed his head at Śāriputra's feet and sat to one side. | 时，有长者子名输屡那，日日游行，到耆阇崛山，诣舍利弗所，头面礼足，却坐一面。 |
At that time, Śāriputra said to Sūrpāraka, "If śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas do not truly know form, do not truly know the origin of form, do not truly know the cessation of form, and do not truly know the path leading to the cessation of form, then, Sūrpāraka, you should know that these śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas are not able to eliminate form. In this way, śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas do not truly know feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness, do not truly know the origin of consciousness, do not truly know the cessation of consciousness, and do not truly know the path leading to the cessation of consciousness, and therefore are not able to eliminate consciousness. | 时，舍利弗谓：「输屡那！若沙门、婆罗门于色不如实知，色集不如实知，色灭不如实知，色灭道迹不如实知故，输屡那！当知此沙门、婆罗门不堪能断色。如是沙门、婆罗门于受、想、行、识不如实知，识集不如实知，识灭不如实知，识灭道迹不如实知故，不堪能断识。 |
Sūrpāraka! If śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas truly know form, truly know the origin of form, truly know the cessation of form, and truly know the path leading to the cessation of form, then, Sūrpāraka, you should know that these śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas are able to eliminate form. In this way, Sūrpāraka! If śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas truly know feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness, truly know the origin of consciousness, truly know the cessation of consciousness, and truly know the path leading to the cessation of consciousness, then, Sūrpāraka, you should know that these śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas are able to eliminate consciousness. | 「输屡那！若沙门、婆罗门于色如实知，色集如实知，色灭如实知，色灭道迹如实知故，输屡那！当知此沙门、婆罗门堪能断色。如是，输屡那！若沙门、婆罗门于受、想、行、识如实知，识集如实知，识灭如实知，识灭道迹如实知故，输屡那！当知此沙门、婆罗门堪能断识。 |
"Sūrpāraka! What do you think? Is form permanent or impermanent?" | 「输屡那！于意云何？色为常、为无常耶？」 |
He replied, "Impermanent." | 答言：「无常。」 |
He asked again, "If it is impermanent, is it suffering?" | 又问：「若无常者，是苦耶？」 |
He replied, "It is suffering." | 答言：「是苦。」 |
Śāriputra said, "If form is impermanent and suffering, it is a changing and transforming phenomenon. Could a noble disciple see form as being the self, different from the self, or abiding in the self?" | 舍利弗言：「若色无常、苦者，是变易法，圣弟子宁于中见色是我、异我、相在不？」 |
He replied, "No." | 答言：「不也。」 |
"Śūrpamātra, is feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness permanent or impermanent?" | 「输屡那！如是受、想、行、识为常、为无常耶？」 |
He replied, "Impermanent." | 答言：「无常。」 |
He asked again, "If it is impermanent, is it suffering?" | 又问：「若无常者，是苦耶？」 |
He replied, "It is suffering." | 答言：「是苦。」 |
He asked again, "If it is impermanent and suffering, is it a changing and transforming phenomenon? Do the noble disciples see and recognize it as self, different from self, or as existing in self?" | 又问：「若无常、苦者，是变易法，圣弟子宁于中见识是我、异我、相在不？」 |
He replied, "No." | 答曰：「不也。」 |
Sūratna, you should know that form, whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether gross or subtle, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, is not self, not different from self, and not in self. This is called true knowledge. Sūratna, the noble disciples generate disgust, detachment, and liberation towards form, and are liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, suffering, and distress. | 「输屡那！当知色，若过去、若未来、若现在，若内、若外，若麁、若细、若好、若丑，若远、若近，于一切色不是我、不异我、不相在，是名如实知。输屡那！圣弟子于色生厌、离欲、解脱，解脱生、老、病、死、忧、悲、苦、恼。 |
So it is with feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness - whether past, future, or present, whether internal or external, whether gross or subtle, whether beautiful or ugly, whether far or near, all consciousness is not self, not different from self, and not in self. This is called true knowledge. Sūratna, the noble disciples generate disgust, detachment, and liberation towards consciousness, and are liberated from birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, suffering, and distress. | 「如是受、想、行、识，若过去、若未来、若现在，若内、若外，若麁、若细，若好、若丑，若远、若近，彼一切识不是我、不异我、不相在，是名如实知。输屡那！圣弟子于识生厌、离欲、解脱，解脱生、老、病、死、忧、悲、苦、恼。」 |
At that time, Sūratna, having heard what Śāriputra said, was delighted and joyful. He bowed and left. | 时，输屡那闻舍利弗所说，欢喜踊跃，作礼已，去。 |
