“Sir, I have heard this: |
“世尊，我听说： |
| ‘samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ uddissa pāṇaṃ ārabhanti, taṃ samaṇo gotamo jānaṃ uddissakataṃ maṃsaṃ paribhuñjati paṭiccakamman’ti. |
‘They slaughter living creatures specially for the ascetic Gotama. The ascetic Gotama knowingly eats meat prepared on purpose for him: this is a deed he caused.’ |
‘他们特意为沙门乔达摩宰杀活物。沙门乔达摩明知故犯地吃特意为他准备的肉：这是他造成的行为。’ |
| Ye te, bhante, evamāhaṃsu: ‘samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ uddissa pāṇaṃ ārabhanti, taṃ samaṇo gotamo jānaṃ uddissakataṃ maṃsaṃ paribhuñjati paṭiccakamman’ti, kacci te, bhante, bhagavato vuttavādino, na ca bhagavantaṃ abhūtena abbhācikkhanti, dhammassa cānudhammaṃ byākaronti, na ca koci sahadhammiko vādānuvādo gārayhaṃ ṭhānaṃ āgacchatī”ti? |
I trust that those who say this repeat what the Buddha has said, and do not misrepresent him with an untruth? Is their explanation in line with the teaching? Are there any legitimate grounds for rebuke and criticism?” |
我相信那些这样说的人是重复佛陀所说的话，而不是以不实之词歪曲他吧？他们的解释符合教义吗？有没有任何正当的理由可以责备和批评？” |
| “Ye te, jīvaka, evamāhaṃsu: ‘samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ uddissa pāṇaṃ ārabhanti, taṃ samaṇo gotamo jānaṃ uddissakataṃ maṃsaṃ paribhuñjati paṭiccakamman’ti na me te vuttavādino, abbhācikkhanti ca maṃ te asatā abhūtena. |
