如是我聞: Thus I have heard:
一時,佛住舍衛國、祇樹、給孤獨園。 One time, the Buddha was staying at Anāthapiṇḍada’s Park in Jeta’s Grove of Śrāvastī.
爾時,世尊告諸比丘: It was then that the Bhagavān addressed the monks,
「色無常。 “Form is impermanent.
若因、若緣生諸色者,彼亦無常。 Whatever causes and conditions give rise to forms, they are also impermanent.
無常因、無常緣所生諸色,云何有常? How could forms that arise from impermanent causes and conditions be permanent?
如是,受⋯想⋯行⋯識無常。 Thus, feeling … conception … volition … awareness is impermanent.
若因、若緣生諸識者,彼亦無常。 Whatever causes and conditions give rise to instances of awareness, they are also impermanent.
無常因、無常緣所生諸識,云何有常? How could instances of awareness that arise from impermanent causes and conditions be permanent?
如是,諸比丘,色無常。 “Thus, monks, form is impermanent.
受⋯想⋯行⋯識無常。 Feeling … conception … volition … awareness is impermanent.
無常者則是苦,苦者則非我,非我者則非我所。 What’s impermanent is painful, something painful is not self, and something that’s not self doesn’t belong to self.
「聖弟子如是觀者厭於色⋯ “Noble disciples who observe it in this way become disillusioned with form …
厭於受⋯想⋯行⋯識。 become disillusioned with feeling … conception … volition … awareness.
厭者不樂。 Being disillusioned, they don’t enjoy it.
不樂則解脫。 Not enjoying it, they are liberated.
解脫知見: Being liberated, they know and see:
『我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作。』 ‘My births have been ended, the religious practice has been established, and the task has been accomplished.’
自知不受後有。」 They themselves know they won’t be subject to a later existence.”
時,諸比丘聞佛所說歡喜,奉行。 When the monks who heard what the Buddha taught, they rejoiced and approved.
