(二) 二見
(2) Two Views
1. 聞如是： 一時，佛在舍衞國、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： 「有此二見。 云何為二見？ 所謂有見、無見。 彼云何為有見？ 所謂欲有見、色有見、無色有見。
At that time, the Bhagavaan said to the bhikshus: “There are these two views. What are the two views? They are the view of existence and the view of non-existence.
What is meant by the view of existence? It refers to the belief in existence regarding the realm of desire, the realm of form, and the formless realm.”
3. 彼云何為欲有見？ 所謂五欲是也。 云何為五欲？ 所謂眼見色甚愛、敬、念。 未曾捨離，世人宗奉。 若耳聞聲…鼻嗅香…口知味…身知細滑…意了諸法… 是謂有見。
“What is meant by the view of existence in the realm of desire?
It refers to the attachment to the five sensual desires.
What are the five sensual desires?
They are as follows:
• The eye perceives forms and becomes deeply attached, cherishing and remembering them, never willing to abandon them, as they are revered by worldly people.
• The ear hears sounds…
• The nose smells fragrances…
• The tongue tastes flavours…
• The body experiences smooth and pleasant sensations…
• The mind perceives various phenomena…
This is called the view of existence.”
4. 彼云何名為無見？ 所謂有常見、無常見、有斷滅見、無斷滅見、有邊見、無邊見、有身見、無身見、有命見、無命見、異身見、異命見… 此六十二見名曰無見亦非真見。 是謂名為無見。
“What is meant by the view of non-existence?
It refers to beliefs such as:
• The view that things are eternal,
• The view that things are not-eternal,
• The view of annihilation after death,
• The view that there is no annihilation,
• The view that the world is finite,
• The view that the world is infinite,
• The view that the self exists,
• The view that the self does not exist,
• The view that life and body are the same,
• The view that life and body are different,
and other such perspectives—these sixty-two views are called the view of non-existence. They are also not the true view.
This is what is called the view of non-existence.”
5. 是故，諸比丘，當捨此二見。 如是，諸比丘，當作是學。
“Therefore, bhikshus, you should abandon these two views.
Thus, bhikshus, you should train yourselves in this way.”
6. 爾時，諸比丘聞佛所説歡喜，奉行。
When the bhikshus heard what the Budha said, they followed it with joy.
