- 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：
「於此眾中，若有一人而作是念，我悉知之。
然後此人不以飲食，在大眾中而虛妄語。
我或復於異時，觀見此人，生染著心，念於財物，便於大眾中而作妄語。所以然者，諸比丘！
財物染著甚為難捨，令人墜墮三惡道中，不得至無為之處！
是故，諸比丘！
已生此心，便當捨離；設未生者，勿復興心染著財物。
如是，諸比丘！
當作是學。」
At that time, Bhagavaan addressed the Bhikshus: “If any one among this assembly harbours such thoughts, I know them all. Though such a person may not speak falsehood openly in the assembly for material gain, I may later observe this person developing clinging thoughts toward possessions, ultimately leading to false speech in the assembly.
Why is this? O Bhikshus!
Attachment to material possessions is extremely hard to abandon! It causes beings to fall into the three woeful realms and prevents attainment of Nirvana!
Therefore, O Bhikshus! If such thoughts have arisen, abandon them immediately. If they have not yet arisen, do not let them take root.
Thus, O Bhikshus, should you train yourselves.”
3. 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.
