Saṃyuktāgama杂阿含经
SA 988（九八八） 帝释
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 Śakra, lord of the devas, of surpassing beauty, came to where the Buddha was in the latter part of the night, bowed his head at the Buddha’s feet, and stood to one side. The radiance of his divine body illuminated the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove. | 尔时，释提桓因形色绝妙，于后夜时来诣佛所，稽首佛足，退住一面。天身威力，光明遍照迦兰陀竹园。 |
Then Śakra, lord of the devas, said to the Buddha, “World-Honored One! The World-Honored One once said in a mountain cave on the border of the realm: ‘If there are śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas who are liberated from the highest love and have liberated minds, they have reached the ultimate limit, the ultimate limit of purity, and the ultimate of the holy life.’ What is the ultimate limit, the ultimate limit of purity, and the ultimate of the holy life for a bhikṣu?” | 时，释提桓因白佛言：「世尊！世尊曾于隔界山石窟中说言：『若有沙门、婆罗门无上爱尽解脱、心善解脱，彼边际、究竟边际、离垢边际、梵行毕竟。』云何为比丘边际、究竟边际、离垢边际、梵行毕竟？」 |
The Buddha told Śakra, lord of the devas, “Bhikṣus, all feelings, whether pleasant, painful, or neither pleasant nor painful, they know their origin, cessation, taste, suffering, and exit. Knowing them as they are, they observe those feelings as impermanent, observe their arising and cessation, observe detachment from them, observe their cessation and extinction, and observe letting them go. Observing them thus, they reach the ultimate limit, the ultimate limit of purity, and the ultimate of the holy life. Kauśika! This is called the ultimate limit, the ultimate limit of purity, and the ultimate of the holy life for bhikṣus in the true Dharma and Vinaya.” | 佛告天帝释：「谓比丘若所有受觉，若苦、若乐、若不苦不乐，彼诸受集、受灭、受味、受患、受出如实知；如实知已，观察彼受无常，观生灭、观离欲、观灭尽、观舍；如是观察已，则边际，究竟边际、离垢边际、梵行毕竟。拘尸迦！是名比丘于正法、律边际、究竟边际、离垢边际、梵行毕竟。」 |
When Śakra, lord of the devas, heard the Buddha's words, he rejoiced and followed the teachings. He bowed and departed. | 乃至天帝释闻佛所说，欢喜随喜，作礼而去。 |
