(五) 二恩
(5) Two Types of Gratitude (Two Kindnesses)
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: 「有此二恩。 云何為二? 所謂法恩、財恩。 恩中之上者所謂不過法恩也。
At that time, the Bhagavaan said to the bhikshus: “There are two types of kindness (gratitude). What are these two?
They are the kindness of the Dharma and the kindness of material support.
Among these, the highest and most supreme is none other than the kindness of the Dharma.
3. 是故,諸比丘,當修行法恩。 如是,諸比丘,當作是學。
“Therefore, bhikshus, you should cultivate the kindness of the Dharma.
Thus, bhikshus, you should train yourselves in this way.”
4. 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.
