Parallel to: SN 55.5
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 said to Venerable Śāriputra, "What is meant by 'flowing'? What is flowing?" | 尔时，世尊告尊者舍利弗：「所谓流者。何等为流？」 |
Śāriputra said to the Buddha, "The World-Honored One has said that 'flowing' refers to the eightfold noble path." | 舍利弗白佛言：「世尊所说流者，谓八圣道。」 |
He further asked Śāriputra, "What is meant by 'entering the stream'? What is entering the stream?" | 复问舍利弗：「谓入流分。何等为入流分？」 |
Śāriputra said to the Buddha, "World-Honored One! There are four kinds of entering the stream. What are the four? They are: associating with good men, listening to the true Dharma, proper contemplation within, and following the Dharma in accordance with the Dharma." | 舍利弗白佛言：「世尊！有四种入流分。何等为四？谓亲近善男子、听正法、内正思惟、法次法向。」 |
He further asked Śāriputra, "How many dharmas does one who enters the stream accomplish?" | 复问舍利弗：「入流者成就几法？」 |
Śāriputra said to the Buddha, "There are four aspects that accomplish entering the stream. What are the four? They are: unshakable faith in the Buddha, unshakable faith in the Dharma, unshakable faith in the Saṃgha, and accomplishing the holy precepts." | 舍利弗白佛言：「有四分成就入流者。何等为四？谓于佛不坏净、于法不坏净、于僧不坏净、圣戒成就。」 |
The Buddha told Śāriputra, "As you have said, the stream refers to the eightfold noble path. There are four aspects of entering the stream, namely: associating with good men, listening to the true Dharma, proper contemplation within, and following the Dharma in accordance with the Dharma. One who enters the stream accomplishes four dharmas, namely: unshakable faith in the Buddha, unshakable faith in the Dharma, unshakable faith in the Saṃgha, and accomplishing the holy precepts." | 佛告舍利弗：「如汝所说，流者，谓八圣道。入流分者有四种，谓亲近善男子、听正法、内正思惟、法次法向。入流者成就四法，谓于佛不坏净、于法不坏净、于僧不坏净、圣戒成就。」 |
Having spoken this sūtra, the Venerable Śāriputra, having heard the Buddha's words, rejoiced and upheld them. | 佛说此经已，尊者舍利弗闻佛所说，欢喜奉行。 |
