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, "Sentient beings have been transmigrating in birth and death since beginningless time, revolving in the cycle of birth and death for a long time, not knowing the original source of suffering. It is like a large raindrop forming a bubble, arising and perishing in each moment. In this way, sentient beings are covered by ignorance, bound by craving around their necks, transmigrating in birth and death since beginningless time. The born and the dead revolve in the cycle of birth and death for a long time, not knowing the original source of suffering. Therefore, bhikṣus! You should study like this: 'Cut off all existences, do not let them increase.'" | 尔时，世尊告诸比丘：「众生无始生死，长夜轮转，不知苦之本际。譬如大雨渧泡，一生一灭，如是，众生无明所盖，爱系其颈，无始生死。生者、死者长夜轮转，不知苦之本际。是故，比丘！当如是学：『断除诸有，莫令增长。』」 |
After the Buddha had spoken this sūtra, the bhikṣus heard what the Buddha had said and joyfully practiced it. | 佛说此经已，诸比丘闻佛所说，欢喜奉行。 |
