- 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，捨離一法，我證汝等成阿那含。
云何為一法？
所謂慳貪。
是故，諸比丘！
當滅慳貪，我證汝等阿那含。」
At that time, the Bhagavaan addressed the bhikshus: “By abandoning and relinquishing one thing, I guarantee you will attain the state of Anaagaami (Non-returner).
What is this one thing? It is stinginess and greed.
Therefore, O bhikshus! Abandon stinginess and greed, and I guarantee you will attain Anaagaami.”
3. 爾時，世尊便說此偈：
「慳貪之所染， 眾生墮惡趣；
當懃捨慳貪， 便成阿那含。」
Then the Bhagavaan spoke this verse:
“Defiled by stinginess and greed,
Beings fall into woeful realms;
Diligently abandon miserliness,
And attain the state of Anaagaami.”
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.
