SA 560(五六〇) 度量

Thus have I heard:

如是我闻:

At one time the Buddha was staying at the Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍada-ārāma in the country of Śrāvastī. At that time, Venerable Ānanda was also staying there.

一时,佛住俱睒弥国瞿师罗园。尔时,尊者阿难亦在彼住。

At that time, Venerable Ānanda addressed the bhikṣus, saying: "If a bhikṣu or bhikṣuṇī declares to me in person, I will praise and console them, or seek the four paths. What are the four? If a bhikṣu or bhikṣuṇī sits and dwells in this way, dwells well in mind, dwells narrowly in mind, tames the mind, stops, contemplates, unifies the mind, and equally experiences the Dharma, measuring and cultivating it, having cultivated it much, they attain the elimination of all afflictions. If there are bhikṣus or bhikṣuṇīs who declare to me in person, I will praise and console them like this, or seek this. This is called the first path.

时,尊者阿难告诸比丘:「若比丘!比丘尼于我前自记说,我当善哉慰劳问讯,或求以四道。何等为四?若比丘、比丘尼坐,作如是住心、善住心、局住心、调伏心、止、观、一心、等受,分别于法量度,修习多修习已,得断诸使。若有比丘、比丘尼于我前自记说,我则如是善哉慰喻,或求是,名说初道。

Furthermore, a bhikṣu or bhikṣuṇī sits upright and contemplates, selecting the Dharma, dwelling in mind, dwelling well, dwelling narrowly, taming, stopping, contemplating, unifying the mind, and equally experiencing. Dwelling in this way much, they attain the elimination of all afflictions. If there are bhikṣus or bhikṣuṇīs who declare to me in person, I will praise and console them like this, or seek this. This is called the second path.

「复次,比丘、比丘尼正坐思惟,于法选择,思量住心,善住、局住,调伏止观,一心等受。如是正向多住,得离诸使,若有比丘、比丘尼于我前自记说,我当如是善哉慰喻,或求是,名第二说道。

Furthermore, a bhikṣu or bhikṣuṇī is held by agitation and distraction, sitting upright with a tamed mind, dwelling in mind, dwelling well in mind, dwelling narrowly in mind, taming, stopping, contemplating, unifying the mind, and equally experiencing. Dwelling in this way much, they then eliminate all afflictions. If there are bhikṣus or bhikṣuṇīs who declare to me in person, I will praise and console them like this, or seek this. This is called the third path.

「复次,比丘、比丘尼为掉乱所持,以调伏心坐、正坐,住心、善住心、局住心,调伏止观,一心等受化。如是正向多住已,则断诸使,若有比丘、比丘尼于我前自记说,我则如是善哉慰喻,或求是,名第三说道。

Furthermore, a bhikṣu or bhikṣuṇī practices samādhi and prajñā in harmony and together, dwelling in this way much, they then eliminate all afflictions. If there are bhikṣus or bhikṣuṇīs who declare to me in person, I will praise and console them like this, teaching and admonishing them, or seeking this. This is called the fourth path.

「复次,比丘、比丘尼止观和合俱行,作如是正向多住,则断诸使。若比丘、比丘尼于我前自记说者,我则如是善哉慰喻教诫,或求是,名第四说道。」

At that time, the bhikṣus heard what Venerable Ānanda said, and joyfully received and practiced it.

时,诸比丘闻尊者阿难所说,欢喜奉行。
