Thus have I heard: | 如是我闻： |
Thus have I heard: | 一时，佛住舍卫国祇树给孤独园。尔时，尊者阿那律住松林精舍。时，尊者大目犍连住跋祇聚落失收摩罗山恐怖稠林禽兽之处。 |
At that time, Venerable Aniruddha, alone in a quiet place, was absorbed in meditation and contemplation, thinking: "There is one vehicle that purifies beings, frees them from sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress, and leads them to the truth. It is the four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four? Mindfulness of the body in relation to the body, mindfulness of feelings, mind, and dharmas in relation to dharmas. If one is far from the four foundations of mindfulness, one is far from the noble teachings. If one is far from the noble teachings, one is far from the noble path. If one is far from the noble path, one is far from the Dharma of immortality. If one is far from the Dharma of immortality, one cannot escape birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress. If one has faith and joy in the four foundations of mindfulness, one has faith and joy in the noble teachings. If one has faith and joy in the noble teachings, one has faith and joy in the noble path. If one has faith and joy in the noble path, one has faith and joy in the Dharma of immortality. If one has faith and joy in the Dharma of immortality, one can escape birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress." | 时，尊者阿那律独一静处，禅思思惟，作是念：「有一乘道，净众生，离忧、悲、恼、苦，得真如法，所谓四念处。何等为四？身身观念处，受、心、法法观念处。若于四念处远离者，于贤圣法远离；于贤圣法远离者，于圣道远离；圣道远离者，于甘露法远离；甘露法远离者，则不能脱生、老、病、死、忧、悲、恼、苦。若于四念处信乐者，于圣法信乐；圣法信乐者，于圣道信乐；圣道信乐者，于甘露法信乐；甘露法信乐者，得脱生、老、病、死、忧、悲、恼、苦。」 |
At that time, Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, knowing Venerable Aniruddha's thoughts, disappeared from the Fearsome Thicket of Birds and Beasts on the mountain of Śītavana in the village of Vṛji, and appeared before Venerable Aniruddha at the Pine Grove Monastery in Śrāvastī, as quickly as a strong man might bend and stretch his arm. He said to Aniruddha: "You were alone in a quiet place, absorbed in meditation and contemplation, thinking: 'There is one vehicle that purifies beings, frees them from sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress, and leads them to the truth. It is the four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four? Mindfulness of the body in relation to the body, mindfulness of feelings, mind, and dharmas in relation to dharmas. If one is not joyful in the four foundations of mindfulness, one is not joyful in the noble teachings. If one is not joyful in the noble teachings, one is not joyful in the noble path. If one is not joyful in the noble path, one is not joyful in the Dharma of immortality. If one is not joyful in the Dharma of immortality, one cannot escape birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress. If one has faith and joy in the four foundations of mindfulness, one has faith and joy in the noble teachings. If one has faith and joy in the noble teachings, one has faith and joy in the noble path. If one has faith and joy in the noble path, one attains the Dharma of immortality. If one attains the Dharma of immortality, one can escape birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and distress.' Is that so?" | 尔时，尊者大目揵连知尊者阿那律心之所念，如力士屈伸臂顷，以神通力于跋祇聚落失收摩罗山恐怖稠林禽兽之处没，至舍卫城松林精舍尊者阿那律前现，语阿那律言：「汝独一静处，禅思思惟，作是念：『有一乘道，令众生清净，离生、老、病、死、忧、悲、恼、苦，得真如法，所谓四念处。何等为四？身身观念处，受、心、法法观念处。若于四念处不乐者，于贤圣法不乐；圣法不乐者，于圣道不乐；不乐圣道者，于甘露法亦不乐；不乐甘露法者，则不能脱生、老、病、死、忧、悲、恼、苦。若于四念处信乐者，乐贤圣法；乐贤圣法者，乐于圣道；乐圣道者，得甘露法；得甘露法者，得脱生、老、病、死、忧、悲、恼、苦。』耶？」 |
Venerable Aniruddha said to Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana: "Yes, it is so, Venerable One!" | 尊者阿那律语尊者大目揵连言：「如是，如是。尊者！」 |
Mahāmaudgalyāyana said to Venerable Aniruddha: "What is meant by joy in the four foundations of mindfulness?" | 大目犍连语尊者阿那律言：「云何名为乐四念处？」 |
Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana said: "If a bhikṣu contemplates the body with mindfulness of the body, his mind is focused on the body, with right mindfulness abiding, disciplined, restrained, and tranquil, progressing in one-pointedness of mind. In the same way, with mindfulness of feelings, mind, and dharmas, right mindfulness abides, disciplined, restrained, and tranquil, progressing in one-pointedness of mind. Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana, this is called a bhikṣu's joy in the four foundations of mindfulness." | 尊者大目犍连：「若比丘身身观念处，心缘身正念住调伏、止息、寂静，一心增进。如是，受、心、法念处，正念住调伏、止息、寂静，一心增进，尊者大目犍连，是名比丘乐四念处。」 |
At that time, Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana entered the samādhi of the true nature of reality as it is, and returned from the pine grove monastery in Śrāvastī to the place of fear and dense forest of animals in the mountain of Śītavana in the village of Vṛji. | 时，尊者大目犍连即如其像三昧正受，从舍卫国松林精舍门，还至跋祇聚落失收摩罗山恐怖稠林禽兽之处。 |
