Parallel to: AN 4.185 (~)
Thus have I heard: | 如是我闻： |
At one time the Buddha was staying at the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rājagṛha. | 一时，佛住王舍城迦兰陀竹园。 |
At that time, many brahmins had gone forth and were staying by the side of the Sumāgadhā Pond. They gathered together in one place and discussed, "This is the true truth of the brahmins, this is the true truth of the brahmins." | 时，有众多婆罗门出家住须摩竭陀池侧，集聚一处，作如是论：「如是婆罗门真谛，如是婆罗门真谛。」 |
At that time, the World-Honored One knew the thoughts of those many brahmins who had gone forth. He went to the side of the Sumāgadhā Pond. | 尔时，世尊知彼众多婆罗门出家心念，往到须摩竭陀池侧。 |
At that time, the many brahmins who had gone forth saw the Buddha coming from afar. They immediately prepared a seat for the Buddha and invited him to sit down. | 时，众多婆罗门出家遥见佛来，即为佛敷床座，请佛就坐。 |
The Buddha then sat down and said to the brahmins who had gone forth, "Why have you all gathered here at the Sumāgadhā Pond?" | 佛即就坐，告诸婆罗门出家：「汝等于此须摩竭陀池侧，众共集聚，何所论说？」 |
The brahmins who had gone forth said to the Buddha, "Gautama! We, the many brahmins who have gone forth, gathered here to discuss, 'This is the true truth of the brahmins. This is the true truth of the brahmins.'" | 婆罗门出家白佛言：「瞿昙！我等众多婆罗门出家集于此坐，作如是论：『如是婆罗门真谛。如是婆罗门真谛。』」 |
The Buddha said to the brahmins who had gone forth, "There are three kinds of brahmins' true truths that I have realized and attained perfect enlightenment, and I also explain them to others. You brahmins who have gone forth say, 'Not harming any sentient beings is the true truth of the brahmins, not false.' If you do not cling to the true truth in their words, and have a compassionate mind and appearance towards all worlds, this is called the first brahmins' true truth that I have realized and attained perfect enlightenment, and I explain it to others. | 佛告婆罗门出家：「有三种婆罗门真实，我自觉悟成等正觉而复为人演说。汝婆罗门出家作如是说：『不害一切众生，是婆罗门真谛，非为虚妄。』彼于彼言我胜、言相似、言我卑，若于彼真谛不系著，于一切世间作慈心色像，是名第一婆罗门真谛，我自觉悟成等正觉，为人演说。 |
Furthermore, the brahmins say, 'All things that arise are things that cease. This is the true truth, not false.' Up to not clinging to the true truth in their words, observing the arising and ceasing of all worlds, this is called the second brahmins' true truth. | 「复次，婆罗门作如是说：『所有集法皆是灭法，此是真谛，非为虚妄。』乃至于彼真谛不计著，于一切世间观察生灭，是名第二婆罗门真谛。 |
"Furthermore, the brahmins say, 'There is no self, no place, and no matter at all. There is no self, no place, and no matter at all. This is the true truth, not false.' As explained before, up to not clinging to the true truth in their words, the appearance of no-self in all worlds, this is called the third brahmins' true truth that I have realized and attained perfect enlightenment, and I explain it to others." At that time, the many brahmins who had gone forth remained silent. | 「复次，婆罗门作如是说：『无我处所及事都无所有，无我处所及事都无所有，此则真谛，非为虚妄。』如前说，乃至于彼无所系著，一切世间无我像类，是名第三婆罗门真谛，我自觉悟成等正觉而为人说。」尔时，众多婆罗门出家默然住。 |
At that time, the World-Honored One thought: "Now, I will illuminate those fools and destroy those evil ones. There is no one in this assembly who can contemplate and create causes and conditions to practice the holy life in the Dharma of the Śramaṇa Gautama." Knowing this, he rose from his seat and departed. | 时，世尊作是念：「今映彼愚痴，杀彼恶者，今此众中无一能自思量欲造因缘，于沙门瞿昙法中修行梵行。」如是知已，从坐起而去。 |
