SĀ 483

Saṃyuktāgama杂阿含经

SA 483(四八三) 无食乐

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: "There are those who have the thought of eating, those who do not have the thought of eating, and those who neither have nor do not have the thought of eating; there are those who have the joy of eating, those who do not have the joy of eating, and those who neither have nor do not have the joy of eating; there are those who have the equanimity of eating, those who do not have the equanimity of eating, and those who neither have nor do not have the equanimity of eating; there are those who have the liberation of eating, those who do not have the liberation of eating, and those who neither have nor do not have the liberation of eating.

尔时,世尊告诸比丘:「有食念者、有无食念者、有无食无食念者;有食乐者、无食乐者、有无食无食乐者;有食舍者、有无食舍者、有无食无食舍者;有食解脱者、有无食解脱者、有无食无食解脱者。

What is the thought of eating? It refers to the thought arising from the five desires. What is the thought of not eating? It refers to the bhikṣu who, having abandoned desire and evil and unwholesome dharmas, with initial and sustained thought, dwells in the joy and bliss born of seclusion, fully endowed with the first dhyāna. This is called the thought of not eating. What is the thought of neither eating nor not eating? It refers to the bhikṣu who, having abandoned initial and sustained thought, with inner clarity and one-pointedness of mind, without initial and sustained thought, dwells in the joy and bliss born of concentration, fully endowed with the second dhyāna. This is called the thought of neither eating nor not eating.

「云何食念?谓五欲因缘生念。云何无食念?谓比丘离欲、离恶不善法,有觉有观,离生喜乐,初禅具足住,是名无食念。云何无食无食念?谓比丘有觉有观息,内净一心,无觉无观,定生喜乐,第二禅具足住,是名无食无食念。

What is the joy of eating? It refers to the joy and bliss arising from the five desires. What is the joy of not eating? It refers to the cessation of initial and sustained thought, with inner clarity and one-pointedness of mind, without initial and sustained thought, dwelling in the joy and bliss born of concentration. This is called the joy of not eating. What is the joy of neither eating nor not eating? It refers to the bhikṣu who, having abandoned the craving for joy, dwells in equanimity, with right mindfulness and right knowledge, experiencing bliss with the body, and abides in the bliss of which the noble ones declare, 'Equanimous and mindful one dwells in bliss.' This is called the joy of neither eating nor not eating.

「云何有食乐?谓五欲因缘生乐、生喜,是名有食乐。云何无食乐?谓息有觉有观,内净一心,无觉无观,定生喜乐,是名无食乐。云何无食无食乐?谓比丘离喜贪,舍心住正念正知,安乐住彼圣说舍,是名无食无食乐。

What is the equanimity of eating? It refers to the equanimity arising from the five desires. What is the equanimity of not eating? It refers to the bhikṣu who, having abandoned the craving for joy, dwells in equanimity, with right mindfulness and right knowledge, experiencing bliss with the body, and abides in the bliss of which the noble ones declare, 'Equanimous and mindful one dwells in bliss.' This is called the equanimity of not eating. What is the equanimity of neither eating nor not eating? It refers to the bhikṣu who, having abandoned suffering and joy, and earlier abandoned sorrow and happiness, without suffering or joy, dwells in equanimity, with pure mindfulness and right mindfulness, fully endowed with the fourth dhyāna. This is called the equanimity of neither eating nor not eating.

「云何有食舍?谓五欲因缘生舍,是名有食舍。云何无食舍?谓彼比丘离喜贪,舍心住正念正知,安乐住彼圣说舍,第三禅具足住,是名无食舍。云何无食无食舍?谓比丘离苦息乐,忧喜先已离,不苦不乐舍,净念一心,第四禅具足住,是名无食无食舍。

What is the liberation of eating? It refers to that which is associated with form. What is the liberation of not eating? It refers to that which is associated with the formless. What is the liberation of neither eating nor not eating? It refers to the bhikṣu who is not defiled by craving, anger, or delusion, and is liberated from them. This is called the liberation of neither eating nor not eating.

「云何有食解脱?谓色俱行。云何无食解脱?谓无色俱行。云何无食无食解脱?谓彼比丘贪欲不染、解脱,瞋恚、愚痴心不染、解脱,是名无食无食解脱。」

Having spoken this sūtra, the bhikṣus were delighted and practiced it.

佛说此经已,诸比丘闻佛所说,欢喜奉行。
