(七) 禮如來
7. Revering the Tathaagata
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： 「有此二法，内自思惟、專精、一意，當禮如來。 云何為二法？ 一為智慧，二為滅盡。 是謂，比丘，内自思惟、專精、一意，當禮如來。 如是，諸比丘，當作是學。」
At that time, the Bhagavaan said to the bhikshus:
“There are these two qualities that one should contemplate inwardly with diligence and single-minded focus, as a way of venerating the Tathaagata.
What are these two qualities?
First is wisdom, and second is cessation.
Thus, bhikshus, by contemplating inwardly with diligence and single-minded focus, one should venerate the Tathaagata.
Bhikshus, you should train yourselves in this way.”
3. 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.
