SA 830（八三〇） 崩伽阇
Thus have I heard: | 如是我闻： |
At one time the Buddha was staying in the Baka Baka Forest. | 一时，佛住崩伽阇崩伽耆林中。 |
At that time, the World-Honored One spoke to the bhikṣus about the Dharma that accords with the precepts, praising the Dharma of establishing the precepts. | 尔时，世尊为诸比丘说戒相应法，赞叹制戒法。 |
At that time, Venerable Kāśyapa was staying in the Baka village. Hearing the World-Honored One speak about the Dharma that accords with the precepts, praising the precepts, he was extremely displeased and said, "This śramaṇa greatly praises the precepts and strictly establishes the precepts. | 尔时，尊者迦叶氏于崩伽聚落住，闻世尊说戒相应法，赞叹是戒，极心不忍不喜，言：「此沙门极赞叹是戒，极制是戒。」 |
At that time, the World-Honored One, having stayed in the Baka village as he wished, headed towards Śrāvastī. Traveling in stages, he arrived at the Jeta Grove Anāthapiṇḍada-ārāma in Śrāvastī. | 尔时，世尊于崩伽聚落随所乐住已，向舍卫国去，次第游行，至舍卫国祇树给孤独园。 |
At that time, not long after the World-Honored One left, Venerable Kāśyapa regretted, "I have lost a great benefit. When the World-Honored One spoke about the Dharma that accords with the precepts, praising and establishing the precepts, I was displeased and unhappy with the World-Honored One, and said, 'The śramaṇa strictly establishes the precepts and greatly praises the precepts.'" | 时，尊者迦叶氏，世尊去后不久，心即生悔：「我今失利，得大不利，于世尊所说戒相应法，赞叹制戒时，于世尊所，心不忍不喜，心不欢喜，而作是言：『沙门极制是戒，极赞叹是戒。』」 |
At that time, Venerable Kāśyapa passed the night and, in the morning, put on his robe, took his alms bowl, and entered the Baka village to beg for food. After eating, he returned to the monastery, entrusted his bedding, took his robe and bowl, and headed towards Śrāvastī, traveling in stages. Arriving in Śrāvastī, he put away his robe and bowl, washed his feet, went to the World-Honored One, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha, "I repent, World-Honored One! I repent, Well-Gone One! I am foolish and ignorant, not skillful and discerning. When I heard the World-Honored One speak the Dharma that accords with the precepts for the bhikṣus, praising and establishing the precepts, I was displeased and unhappy with the World-Honored One, and said, 'The śramaṇa strictly establishes the precepts and greatly praises the precepts.'" | 时，尊者迦叶氏夜过晨朝，著衣持钵，入崩伽聚落乞食。食已，还精舍，付嘱卧具，自持衣钵，向舍卫城次第游行，至舍卫国，举衣钵，洗足已，诣世尊，稽首礼足，白佛言：「悔过。世尊！悔过。善逝！我愚我痴，不善不辨。我闻世尊为诸比丘说戒相应法，赞叹制戒时，于世尊所，不忍不喜，心不欣乐，而作是言：『是沙门极制是戒，赞叹是戒。』」 |
The Buddha said to Kāśyapa, "When did you feel displeased and unhappy with me, not joyful, and say, 'This śramaṇa strictly establishes the precepts and greatly praises the precepts'?" | 佛告迦叶氏：「汝何时于我所，心不忍不喜，不生欣乐，而作是言：『此沙门极制是戒，赞叹是戒。』？」 |
Kāśyapa said to the Buddha, "At that time, the World-Honored One was in the Baka Forest in the Baka village, speaking the Dharma that accords with the precepts for the bhikṣus, praising the precepts. At that time, I felt displeased and unhappy with the World-Honored One, not joyful, and said, 'This śramaṇa strictly establishes the precepts and greatly praises the precepts.' World-Honored One! I now know my own faults and repent, seeing my own faults and repenting. I only wish that the World-Honored One would accept my repentance out of compassion!" | 迦叶氏白佛言：「时，世尊于崩伽阇聚落崩伽耆林中，为诸比丘说戒相应法，赞叹是戒。我尔时于世尊所，心得不忍、不欢喜，心不欣乐，而作是言：『是沙门极制是戒，赞叹是戒。』世尊！我今日自知罪悔，自见罪悔，唯愿世尊受我悔过，哀愍故！」 |
The Buddha said to Kāśyapa, "You yourself know that you are foolish, ignorant, and unable to discern. When I spoke the Dharma that accords with the precepts for the bhikṣus, praising and establishing the precepts, you felt displeased and unhappy with me, not joyful, and said, 'This śramaṇa strictly establishes the precepts and greatly praises the precepts.' Now, Kāśyapa, you yourself know your faults and repent, seeing your own faults and repenting. In the future, I will give you the precepts of discipline and the precepts of arising, out of compassion. Kāśyapa! Such repentance increases good dharmas and never diminishes. Why is that? If one knows one's own faults, sees one's own faults, and repents, in the future, the precepts of discipline and the precepts of arising will arise, increasing good dharmas and never diminishing. | 佛告迦叶氏：「汝自知悔、愚痴、不善不辨，闻我为诸比丘说戒相应法，赞叹制戒，而于我所，不忍不喜，心不欣乐，而作是言：『是沙门极制是戒，极叹是戒。』汝今迦叶自知悔、自见悔已，于未来世，律仪戒生戒，今授汝，哀愍故。迦叶氏！如是悔者，善法增长，终不退减。所以者何？若有自知罪、自见罪而悔过者，于未来世，律仪戒生，善法增长，不退减故。 |
Even if Kāśyapa were the senior monk, if he did not wish to learn the precepts, did not value the precepts, and did not praise the establishment of the precepts, I would not praise such a bhikṣu. Why is that? If what the teacher praises, others will then also associate with, respect, and value it; if others associate with, respect, and value it, they will have the same views and do the same things; if they do the same things, they will experience disadvantageous suffering for a long time. Therefore, I do not praise those senior monks from the beginning, because they do not initially delight in learning the precepts. The same is true for middle-aged and young monks. | 「正使迦叶为上座者，不欲学戒、不重于戒、不叹制戒，如是比丘我不赞叹。所以者何？若大师所赞叹者，余人则复与相习近，恭敬亲重；若余人与相习近亲重者，则与同见，同彼所作；同彼所作者，长夜当得不饶益苦。是故我于彼长老初不赞叹，以其初始不乐学戒故。如长老，中年、少年亦如是。 |
If the senior monks initially valued learning the precepts and praised the establishment of the precepts, I would praise such senior monks, because they initially delighted in learning the precepts. What the teacher praises, others will also associate with, respect, and value; having the same views, they will benefit each other for a long time in the future. Therefore, I always praise those senior monks, because they initially delighted in learning the precepts. The same is true for middle-aged and young monks. | 「若是上座长老初始重于戒学，赞叹制戒，如是长老我所赞叹，以其初始乐戒学故。大师所赞叹者，余人亦当与相习近亲重，同其所见；同其所见故，于未来世，彼当长夜以义饶益。是故于彼长老比丘常当赞叹，以初始乐学戒故。中年、少年亦复如是。」 |
Having spoken this sūtra, the bhikṣus heard what the Buddha said and joyfully practiced it. | 佛说此经已，诸比丘闻佛所说，欢喜奉行。 |
