- 聞如是：
一時，佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。
Thus have I heard:
One time, the Budha was staying at Anaathapindidas Ashrama in Jetavana of Shraavastii.
2. 爾時，世尊告諸比丘：
「當修行一法，當廣布一法；修行一法，廣布一法已，便得神通，諸行寂靜，得沙門果，至泥洹界。
云何為一法？所謂無放逸行。
云何為無放逸行？所謂護心也。
云何護心？
於是，比丘！
常守護心有漏、有漏法，當彼守護心有漏、有漏法，於有漏法便得悅豫，亦有信樂，住不移易，恒專其意，自力勸勉。
At that time, the Bhagavaan addressed the Bhikshus: “You should cultivate one Dharma, you should widely proclaim one Dharma. Having cultivated and proclaimed this one Dharma, you will attain spiritual powers, all activities will be pacified, you will achieve the fruit of the Shramana, and reach the realm of Nirvana.
What is this one Dharma? It is called ‘non-negligence.’
What is non-negligence? It means guarding the mind.
How does one guard the mind? O Bhikshus! Constantly guard the mind against defilements and defiled phenomena. When one guards the mind against defilements and defiled phenomena, one attains joy in the Dharma, gains faith and delight, abides unshaken, constantly focuses the mind, and diligently exerts oneself.
3. 「如是。
比丘！
彼無放逸行，恒自謹慎。
未生欲漏便不生；已生欲漏便能使滅；未生有漏便不生；已生有漏便能使滅；未生無明漏便不生；已生無明漏便能使滅。
比丘於彼無放逸行，閑靜一處，恒自覺知而自遊戲，欲漏心便得解脫，有漏心、無明漏心便得解脫。
已得解脫，便得解脫智，生死已盡，梵行已立，所作已辦，更不復受有，如實知之。」
“Thus, O Bhikshus! One who practices non-negligence is ever vigilant.
Unarisen sensual defilements do not arise; arisen sensual defilements are abandoned.
Unarisen existence-defilements do not arise; arisen existence-defilements are abandoned.
Unarisen ignorance-defilements do not arise; arisen ignorance-defilements are abandoned.
A Bhikshu who practices non-negligence, dwelling in solitude, constantly self-aware and delighting in meditation, is liberated from the mind of sensual defilements, the mind of existence-defilements, and the mind of ignorance-defilements.
Being liberated, one attains the knowledge of liberation: ‘Birth is exhausted, the noble life has been lived, what was to be done has been done, there is no further becoming.’ Thus one knows truly.”
4. 爾時，世尊便說斯偈：
「無憍甘露跡， 放逸是死徑；
無慢則不死， 慢者即是死。
「是故，諸比丘！當念修行無放逸行。
如是，諸比丘！當作是學。」
Then, the Bhagavaan spoke this verse:
“The path of humility leads to nectar,
negligence is the path of death.
The humble do not die;
the arrogant are already dead.”
“Therefore, O Bhikshus! You should remember to practice non-negligence. Thus, O Bhikshus, you should train yourselves.”
5. 爾時，諸比丘聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。
When the bhikshus heard what the Budha said, they followed it with joy.
