1.聞如是：
一時，佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。
Thus have I heard:
One time, the Budha was staying at Anaathapindidas Ashrama in Jetavana of Shraavastii.
2.爾時，世尊告諸比丘：「邪見眾生所念、所趣及餘諸行，一切無可貴者，世間人民所不貪樂。所以然者，以其邪見不善故也。猶如有諸苦[7]菓之子。所謂苦菓、苦蔘子、葶藶子、畢地槃持子，及諸餘苦子，便於良地種此諸子，然後生苗猶復故苦。所以然者，以其子本苦故。此邪見眾生亦復如是，所作身行、口行、意行，所趣、所念及諸惡行，一切無可貴者，世間人民所不貪樂。所以然者，以其邪見惡不善故。是故，諸比丘！當除邪見，習行正見。如是，諸比丘！當作是學。」
At that time, Budha said to the Bhikshus, “The thoughts, inclinations, and actions of beings with wrong views are all without value and are not cherished or desired by the people of the world. Why is this? It is because their wrong views are unwholesome. It is like planting seeds of bitter fruits, such as bitter melon, bitter ginseng, draba, and other bitter seeds, in fertile soil. The sprouts that grow will still be bitter. Why is this?
It is because the seeds themselves are bitter. In the same way, the bodily, verbal, and mental actions, inclinations, thoughts, and evil deeds of beings with wrong views are all without value and are not cherished or desired by the people of the world. Why is this? It is because their wrong views are unwholesome.
Therefore, Bhikshus, you should abandon wrong views and cultivate right views. In this way, Bhikshus, you should 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.
