- 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：
「我於此法中，不見一法，未有欲想便不生欲想；已生欲想便能滅之。
未生瞋恚想便不生，已生瞋恚想便能滅之。
未生睡眠想便不生；已生睡眠想便能滅之。
未生調戲想便不生；已生調戲想便能滅之。
未生疑想便不生；已生疑想便能滅之。
亦當觀惡露不淨，已觀惡露不淨，未生欲想便不生；已生便能滅之。
未生瞋恚便不生；已生瞋恚便能滅之。
乃至疑，未生疑想便不生；已生疑想便能滅之。
是故，諸比丘！常當專意觀不淨想。
如是，諸比丘！當作是學。」
At that time, Bhagavaan addressed the Bhikshus:
“In this assembly, I do not see a single dharma whereby, in the absence of sensual thought, sensual thought arises; and once arisen, it increases.
In the absence of angry thought, angry thought arises; and once arisen, it multiplies. In the absence of drowsy thought, drowsy thought arises; and once arisen, it grows.
In the absence of frivolous thought, frivolous thought arises; and once arisen, it expands. In the absence of doubtful thought, doubtful thought arises; and once arisen, it proliferates.
One should also contemplate the impure nature of foulness. If one entertains distracted thoughts, then in the absence of sensual thought, sensual thought arises; and once arisen, it increases.
Anger, drowsiness—where originally there was no doubt, doubt arises; and once arisen, it multiplies.
Therefore, O Bhikshus! Do not indulge in distracted thoughts; always remain focused. 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.
