- 聞如是：
一時，佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。
Thus I have heard:
One time, the Budha was staying at Anaathapindidas Ashrama in Jetavana of Shraavastii.
2. 爾時，世尊告諸比丘：
「當滅一法，我證卿等成阿那含。
云何為一法？
所謂貪欲。
諸比丘！
當滅貪欲，我證卿等得阿那含。」
At that time, Bhagavaan addressed the Bhikshus: “By abandoning one thing, I guarantee you will attain Anaagaami (Non-returner).
What is this one thing? It is sensual desire.
O Bhikshus! Abandon sensual desire, and I guarantee you will attain Anaagaamin (Non-returner).”
3. 爾時，世尊便說此偈：
「貪婬之所染， 眾生墮惡趣；
當懃捨貪欲， 便成阿那含。」
Then Bhagavaan spoke this verse:
“Defiled by lust and craving,
Beings fall into woeful realms;
Strive diligently to abandon greed,
And attain the state of Anaagaamin (Non-returner).”
4. 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.
