| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— |
So I have heard. |
我曾听闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā kurūsu viharati kammāsadhammaṃ nāma kurūnaṃ nigamo, bhāradvājagottassa brāhmaṇassa agyāgāre tiṇasanthārake. |
At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Kurus, near the Kuru town named Kammāsadamma, on a grass mat in the fire chamber of a brahmin of the Bhāradvāja clan. |
有一次，佛陀住在俱卢国，靠近俱卢城名叫卡玛萨达玛的地方，在一婆罗门婆罗堕阇家族的火室里的一张草席上。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya kammāsadhammaṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi. |
Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Kammāsadamma for alms. |
然后，佛陀在早上穿上衣服，拿起他的钵和袈裟，进入卡玛萨达玛乞食。 |
| Kammāsadhammaṃ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto yena aññataro vanasaṇḍo tenupasaṅkami divāvihārāya. |
He wandered for alms in Kammāsadamma. After the meal, on his return from alms-round, he went to a certain forest grove for the day’s meditation. |
他在卡玛萨达玛乞食。饭后，乞食归来，他去了一个森林小树林进行日间禅定。 |
| Taṃ vanasaṇḍaṃ ajjhogāhetvā aññatarasmiṃ rukkhamūle divāvihāraṃ nisīdi. |
Having plunged deep into it, he sat at the root of a certain tree for the day’s meditation. |
他深入其中，坐在一棵树下进行日间禅定。 |
| Atha kho māgaṇḍiyo paribbājako jaṅghāvihāraṃ anucaṅkamamāno anuvicaramāno yena bhāradvājagottassa brāhmaṇassa agyāgāraṃ tenupasaṅkami. |
Then as the wanderer Māgaṇḍiya was going for a walk he approached that fire chamber. |
那时，游方者摩犍提亚正在散步，他走近那个火室。 |
| Addasā kho māgaṇḍiyo paribbājako bhāradvājagottassa brāhmaṇassa agyāgāre tiṇasanthārakaṃ paññattaṃ. |
He saw the grass mat spread out there |
他看到那里铺着一张草席 |
| Disvāna bhāradvājagottaṃ brāhmaṇaṃ etadavoca: |
and asked the brahmin of the Bhāradvāja clan: |
便问婆罗堕阇家族的婆罗门： |
| “kassa nvayaṃ bhoto bhāradvājassa agyāgāre tiṇasanthārako paññatto, samaṇaseyyānurūpaṃ maññe”ti? |
“Mister Bhāradvāja, who has this grass mat been spread out for? It looks like an ascetic’s bed.” |
“婆罗堕阇先生，这张草席是为谁铺的？它看起来像沙门的卧具。” |
| “Atthi, bho māgaṇḍiya, samaṇo gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito. |
“There is the ascetic Gotama, a Sakyan, gone forth from a Sakyan family. |
“有一位沙门乔达摩，一个释迦族人，从释迦族家庭出家。 |
| Taṃ kho pana bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ evaṃ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato: |
He has this good reputation: |
他有这样的好名声： |
| ‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṃ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṃ buddho bhagavā’ti. |
‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those who wish to train, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’ |
‘那位世尊是阿罗汉，一位完全觉悟的佛陀，明行具足，善逝，世间解，无上士，调御丈夫，天人师，佛，世尊。’ |
| Tassesā bhoto gotamassa seyyā paññattā”ti. |
This bed has been spread for that Master Gotama.” |
这张床就是为那位乔达摩大师铺的。” |
| “Duddiṭṭhaṃ vata, bho bhāradvāja, addasāma; |
“Well, it’s a sad sight, Mister Bhāradvāja, |
“哎，真是可悲的景象，婆罗堕阇先生， |

看到为乔达摩大师这个生命毁灭者铺的床！” |
| “Rakkhassetaṃ, māgaṇḍiya, vācaṃ; |
“Be careful what you say, Māgaṇḍiya, |
“说话小心点，摩犍提亚， |

说话小心点。 |

Many astute warrior-nobles, brahmins, householders, and ascetics are devoted to Master Gotama. They’ve been guided by him in the noble procedure, the skillful Dharma.” |
许多精明的刹帝利、婆罗门、居士和沙门都虔诚地追随乔达摩大师。他们被他在高尚的实践、善巧的佛法中引导。” |
| “Sammukhā cepi mayaṃ, bho bhāradvāja, taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ passeyyāma, sammukhāpi naṃ vadeyyāma: |
“Even if I was to see Master Gotama face to face, Mister Bhāradvāja, I would say to his face: |
“即使我当面见到乔达摩大师，婆罗堕阇先生，我也会当面告诉他： |
| ‘bhūnahu samaṇo gotamo’ti. |
‘The ascetic Gotama is a life-destroyer.’ |
‘沙门乔达摩是一个生命毁灭者。’ |
| Taṃ kissa hetu? |
Why is that? |
为什么会这样？ |

Because that’s what it implies in a discourse of ours.” |
因为我们的论述中就是这么说的。” |
| “Sace taṃ bhoto māgaṇḍiyassa agaru āroceyyāmi taṃ samaṇassa gotamassā”ti. |
“If you don’t mind, I’ll tell the ascetic Gotama about this.” |
“如果你不介意，我会把这件事告诉沙门乔达摩。” |
| “Appossukko bhavaṃ bhāradvājo vuttova naṃ vadeyyā”ti. |
“Don’t worry, Mister Bharadvāja. You may tell him exactly what I’ve said.” |
“别担心，婆罗堕阇先生。你可以把我所说的原封不动地告诉他。” |
| Assosi kho bhagavā dibbāya sotadhātuyā visuddhāya atikkantamānusikāya bhāradvājagottassa brāhmaṇassa māgaṇḍiyena paribbājakena saddhiṃ imaṃ kathāsallāpaṃ. |
With clairaudience that is purified and superhuman, the Buddha heard this discussion between the brahmin of the Bhāradvāja clan and the wanderer Māgaṇḍiya. |
佛陀以清净超人的天耳通，听到了婆罗堕阇家族的婆罗门与游方者摩犍提亚之间的这次讨论。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā sāyanhasamayaṃ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yena bhāradvājagottassa brāhmaṇassa agyāgāraṃ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā nisīdi bhagavā paññatte tiṇasanthārake. |
Coming out of retreat, he went to the brahmin’s fire chamber and sat on the grass mat. |
他出定后，来到婆罗门的火室，坐在草席上。 |
| Atha kho bhāradvājagotto brāhmaṇo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. |
Then the brahmin of the Bhāradvāja clan went to the Buddha and exchanged greetings with him. |
然后，婆罗堕阇家族的婆罗门来到佛陀面前，与他互相问候。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho bhāradvājagottaṃ brāhmaṇaṃ bhagavā etadavoca: |
When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him: |
问候和礼貌的交谈结束后，他坐在一旁。佛陀对他说： |
| “ahu pana te, bhāradvāja, māgaṇḍiyena paribbājakena saddhiṃ imaṃyeva tiṇasanthārakaṃ ārabbha kocideva kathāsallāpo”ti? |
“Bhāradvāja, did you have a discussion with the wanderer Māgaṇḍiya about this grass mat?” |
“婆罗堕阇，你和游方者摩犍提亚讨论过这张草席吗？” |
| Evaṃ vutte, bhāradvājagotto brāhmaṇo saṃviggo lomahaṭṭhajāto bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: |
When he said this, the brahmin said to the Buddha: |
他说完这番话，婆罗门对佛陀说： |
| “etadeva kho pana mayaṃ bhoto gotamassa ārocetukāmā. |
“I wanted to mention this very thing to Master Gotama, |
“我正想把这件事告诉乔达摩大师， |
| Atha ca pana bhavaṃ gotamo anakkhātaṃyeva akkhāsī”ti. |
but you brought it up before I had a chance.” |
但您在我有机会之前就提出来了。” |
| “Cakkhuṃ kho, māgaṇḍiya, rūpārāmaṃ rūparataṃ rūpasammuditaṃ. |

Suppose there was a person affected by leprosy, with sores and blisters on their limbs. Being devoured by worms, scratching with their nails at the opening of their wounds, they’d cauterize their body over a pit of glowing coals. |
假设有一个人患有麻风病，四肢布满疮和水泡。被虫子吞噬，用指甲抓挠伤口，他们会将身体在灼热的炭火坑上烧灼。 |
| Tassa mittāmaccā ñātisālohitā bhisakkaṃ sallakattaṃ upaṭṭhāpeyyuṃ. |
Their friends and colleagues, relatives and kin would get a field surgeon to treat them. |
他们的朋友和同事，亲戚和家人会请外科医生为他们治疗。 |

The field surgeon would make medicine for them, |
外科医生会为他们配药， |

and by using that they’d be cured of leprosy. They’d be healthy, happy, autonomous, master of themselves, able to go where they wanted. |
通过使用那些药，他们的麻风病就会痊愈。他们会健康、快乐、自主，掌控自己，能够随心所欲地去任何地方。 |
| So aññaṃ kuṭṭhiṃ purisaṃ passeyya arugattaṃ pakkagattaṃ kimīhi khajjamānaṃ nakhehi vaṇamukhāni vippatacchamānaṃ aṅgārakāsuyā kāyaṃ paritāpentaṃ. |
Then they’d see another person affected by leprosy, with sores and blisters on their limbs, being devoured by worms, scratching with their nails at the opening of their wounds, cauterizing their body over a pit of glowing coals. |
然后他们会看到另一个人患有麻风病，四肢布满疮和水泡，被虫子吞噬，用指甲抓挠伤口，将身体在灼热的炭火坑上烧灼。 |
| Taṃ kiṃ maññasi, māgaṇḍiya, |

你认为如何，摩犍提亚？ |

Would that person envy that other person affected by leprosy for their pit of glowing coals or for taking medicine?” |
那个人会羡慕另一个人患麻风病的人的炭火坑或服用药物吗？” |
| “No hidaṃ, bho gotama. |
“No, Master Gotama. |
“不，乔达摩大师。 |
| Taṃ kissa hetu? |
Why is that? |
为什么会这样？ |
| Roge hi, bho gotama, sati bhesajjena karaṇīyaṃ hoti, roge asati na bhesajjena karaṇīyaṃ hotī”ti. |
Because you need to take medicine only when there’s a disease. When there’s no disease, there’s no need for medicine.” |
因为只有生病才需要吃药。没病就没必要吃药。” |

Some time later—having truly understood the origin, ending, gratification, drawback, and escape of sensual pleasures, and having given up craving and dispelled passion for sensual pleasures—I live rid of thirst, my mind peaceful inside. |
一段时间后，我真正理解了感官享乐的生起、灭尽、满足、过患和出离，并放弃了对感官享乐的贪爱和消除了对感官享乐的激情，我活得没有渴求，内心平静。 |
| So aññe satte passāmi kāmesu avītarāge kāmataṇhāhi khajjamāne kāmapariḷāhena pariḍayhamāne kāme paṭisevante. |

| So tesaṃ na pihemi, na tattha abhiramāmi. |

我既不羡慕他们，也不希望享受那种快乐。 |

为什么会这样？ |
| Yāhayaṃ, māgaṇḍiya, rati, aññatreva kāmehi aññatra akusalehi dhammehi— |
Because there is a satisfaction that is apart from sensual pleasures and unskillful Dharmas, |
因为有一种满足感是脱离感官享乐和不善法的， |
| api dibbaṃ sukhaṃ samadhigayha tiṭṭhati— |
which even achieves the level of heavenly pleasure. |
甚至达到了天界的快乐程度。 |
| tāya ratiyā ramamāno hīnassa na pihemi, na tattha abhiramāmi. |
Enjoying that satisfaction, I don’t envy what is inferior, nor do I hope to enjoy it. |

| so na passeyya kaṇhasukkāni rūpāni, na passeyya nīlakāni rūpāni, na passeyya pītakāni rūpāni, na passeyya lohitakāni rūpāni, na passeyya mañjiṭṭhakāni rūpāni, na passeyya samavisamaṃ, na passeyya tārakarūpāni, na passeyya candimasūriye. |
They couldn’t see sights that are dark or bright, or blue, yellow, red, or magenta. They couldn’t see even and uneven ground, or the stars, or the moon and sun. |
他们看不到黑暗或明亮的景象，也看不到蓝色、黄色、红色或品红色的景象。他们看不到平坦或不平坦的地面，也看不到星星、月亮和太阳。 |
| So suṇeyya cakkhumato bhāsamānassa: |
They might hear a sighted person saying: |
他们可能会听到一个有视力的人说： |
| ‘chekaṃ vata, bho, odātaṃ vatthaṃ abhirūpaṃ nimmalaṃ sucī’ti. |
‘White cloth is really nice, it’s attractive, stainless, and clean.’ |
‘白色的布料真好，它很有吸引力，洁净无瑕。’ |
| So odātapariyesanaṃ careyya. |
They’d go in search of white cloth. |
他们会去寻找白色的布料。 |
| Tamenaṃ aññataro puriso telamalikatena sāhuḷicīrena vañceyya: |
But someone would cheat them with a dirty, soiled garment, saying: |
但是有人会用一件肮脏、沾染污渍的衣服欺骗他们，说： |
| ‘idaṃ te, ambho purisa, odātaṃ vatthaṃ abhirūpaṃ nimmalaṃ sucī’ti. |
‘Sir, here is a white cloth for you, it’s attractive, stainless, and clean.’ |
‘先生，这是您的白色布料，它很有吸引力，洁净无瑕。’ |
| So taṃ paṭiggaṇheyya, paṭiggahetvā pārupeyya. |
They’d take it and put it on. |
他们拿起并穿上。 |
| Tassa mittāmaccā ñātisālohitā bhisakkaṃ sallakattaṃ upaṭṭhāpeyyuṃ. |
Their friends and colleagues, relatives and kin would get a field surgeon to treat them. |
他们的朋友、同事、亲戚和家人会请一位战地医生来治疗他们。 |
| Tassa so bhisakko sallakatto bhesajjaṃ kareyya— |
The field surgeon would make medicine for them: |
战地医生会为他们配制药物： |
| uddhaṃvirecanaṃ adhovirecanaṃ añjanaṃ paccañjanaṃ natthukammaṃ. |
emetics, purgatives, ointment, counter-ointment, or nasal treatment. |
催吐剂、泻药、软膏、反软膏或鼻腔治疗剂。 |
| So taṃ bhesajjaṃ āgamma cakkhūni uppādeyya, cakkhūni visodheyya. |
And when they used it their eyes would be cured so that they could see clearly. |
当他们使用后，他们的眼睛就会痊愈，从而能够清晰地看到。 |
| Tassa saha cakkhuppādā yo amusmiṃ telamalikate sāhuḷicīre chandarāgo so pahīyetha. |
As soon as their eyes were cured they’d lose all desire for that dirty, soiled garment. |
一旦他们的眼睛痊愈，他们就会对那件肮脏、沾染污渍的衣服失去所有欲望。 |
| Tañca naṃ purisaṃ amittatopi daheyya, paccatthikatopi daheyya, api ca jīvitā voropetabbaṃ maññeyya: |
Then they would consider that person to be no friend, but an enemy, and might even think of murdering them: |
然后他们会认为那个人不是朋友，而是敌人，甚至可能会想到谋杀他们： |
| ‘dīgharattaṃ vata, bho, ahaṃ iminā purisena telamalikatena sāhuḷicīrena nikato vañcito paluddho— |
‘For such a long time I’ve been cheated, tricked, and deceived by that person with this dirty, soiled garment when he said: |
“这么长时间以来，我一直被那个人用这件肮脏、沾染污渍的衣服欺骗、哄骗和迷惑，他说： |
| idaṃ te, ambho purisa, odātaṃ vatthaṃ abhirūpaṃ nimmalaṃ sucī’ti. |
“Sir, here is a white cloth for you, it’s attractive, stainless, and clean.”’ |
‘先生，这是您的白色布料，它很有吸引力，洁净无瑕。’” |
| Evameva kho, māgaṇḍiya, ahañce te dhammaṃ deseyyaṃ: |
In the same way, Māgaṇḍiya, suppose I were to teach you the Dhamma, saying: |
同样地，摩犍提亚，假设我教导你佛法，说： |
| ‘idantaṃ ārogyaṃ, idantaṃ nibbānan’ti. |
‘This is that health, this is that nirvana.’ |
“这就是健康，这就是涅槃。” |
| So tvaṃ ārogyaṃ jāneyyāsi, nibbānaṃ passeyyāsi. |
You might know health and see nirvana. |
你可能会认识健康和看到涅槃。 |
| Tassa te saha cakkhuppādā yo pañcasupādānakkhandhesu chandarāgo so pahīyetha; |
And as soon as your vision arises you might give up desire for the five grasping aggregates. |
一旦你的视力出现，你可能会放弃对五取蕴的欲望。 |
| api ca te evamassa: |
And you might even think: |
你甚至可能会想： |
| ‘dīgharattaṃ vata bho ahaṃ iminā cittena nikato vañcito paluddho. |
‘For such a long time I’ve been cheated, tricked, and deceived by this mind. |
“这么长时间以来，我一直被这颗心欺骗、哄骗和迷惑。 |
| Ahañhi rūpaṃyeva upādiyamāno upādiyiṃ, vedanaṃyeva upādiyamāno upādiyiṃ, saññaṃyeva upādiyamāno upādiyiṃ, saṅkhāreyeva upādiyamāno upādiyiṃ, viññāṇaṃyeva upādiyamāno upādiyiṃ. |
For what I have been grasping is only form, feeling, perception, co-activities, and consciousness. |
因为我一直执着的是色、受、想、行、识。 |
| Tassa me upādānapaccayā bhavo, bhavapaccayā jāti, jātipaccayā jarāmaraṇaṃ sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā sambhavanti; |
My grasping is a condition for continued existence. Continued existence is a condition for rebirth. Rebirth is a condition for old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress to come to be. |
我的执着是持续存在的条件。持续存在是再生的条件。再生是老死、悲伤、哀叹、痛苦、忧愁和苦恼出现的条件。 |
| evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hotī’”ti. |
That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.’” |
这就是所有这些苦难的整个起源。” |
| “Evaṃ pasanno ahaṃ bhoto gotamassa. |
“I am quite confident that Master Gotama |
“我非常相信乔达摩大师 |
| Pahoti me bhavaṃ gotamo tathā dhammaṃ desetuṃ yathāhaṃ imamhā āsanā anandho vuṭṭhaheyyan”ti. |
is capable of teaching Dharma to me so that I can rise from this seat cured of blindness.” |
能够教导我佛法，使我能够从这个座位上起身，痊愈盲症。” |
| “Tena hi tvaṃ, māgaṇḍiya, sappurise bhajeyyāsi. |
“Well then, Māgaṇḍiya, you should associate with good people. |
“那么，摩犍提亚，你应该与善知识交往。 |
| Yato kho tvaṃ, māgaṇḍiya, sappurise bhajissasi tato tvaṃ, māgaṇḍiya, saddhammaṃ sossasi; |
When you associate with good people, you will hear the true Dharma. |
当你与善知识交往时，你将听到真正的佛法。 |
| yato kho tvaṃ, māgaṇḍiya, saddhammaṃ sossasi tato tvaṃ, māgaṇḍiya, dhammānudhammaṃ paṭipajjissasi; |
When you hear the true Dharma, you’ll practice in line with The Dharma. |
当你听到真正的佛法时，你将依照佛法修行。 |
| yato kho tvaṃ, māgaṇḍiya, dhammānudhammaṃ paṭipajjissasi tato tvaṃ, māgaṇḍiya, sāmaṃyeva ñassasi, sāmaṃ dakkhissasi— |
When you practice in line with The Dharma, you’ll know and see for yourself: |
当你依照佛法修行时，你将亲自了解和看到： |
| ime rogā gaṇḍā sallā; |
‘These are diseases, boils, and darts. |
‘这些是疾病、脓疮和毒箭。 |
| idha rogā gaṇḍā sallā aparisesā nirujjhanti. |
And here is where diseases, boils, and darts cease without anything left over.’ |
而这里是疾病、脓疮和毒箭彻底止息的地方。’ |
| Tassa me upādānanirodhā bhavanirodho, bhavanirodhā jātinirodho, jātinirodhā jarāmaraṇaṃ sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā nirujjhanti; |
When my grasping ceases, continued existence ceases. When continued existence ceases, rebirth ceases. When rebirth ceases, old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress cease. |
当我的执着止息时，持续存在止息。当持续存在止息时，再生止息。当再生止息时，老死、悲伤、哀叹、痛苦、忧愁和苦恼止息。 |
| evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hotī”ti. |
That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.” |
这就是所有这些苦难的整个止息。” |
| Evaṃ vutte, māgaṇḍiyo paribbājako bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: |
When he said this, Māgaṇḍiya said to him: |
他说完这番话，摩犍提亚对他说： |
| “abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama, abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama. |
“Excellent, Master Gotama! Excellent! |
“太好了，乔达摩大师！太棒了！ |
| Seyyathāpi, bho gotama, nikkujjitaṃ vā ukkujjeyya, paṭicchannaṃ vā vivareyya, mūḷhassa vā maggaṃ ācikkheyya, andhakāre vā telapajjotaṃ dhāreyya: ‘cakkhumanto rūpāni dakkhantī’ti; evamevaṃ bhotā gotamena anekapariyāyena dhammo pakāsito. |
As if he were righting the overturned, or revealing the hidden, or pointing out the path to the lost, or lighting a lamp in the dark so people with good eyes can see what’s there, Master Gotama has made The Dharma clear in many ways. |
乔达摩大师以多种方式阐明了佛法，就像扶正了颠倒的东西，揭示了隐藏的东西，为迷路的人指明了道路，或者在黑暗中点亮了一盏灯，让视力好的人能看到那里有什么。 |
| Esāhaṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ saraṇaṃ gacchāmi dhammañca bhikkhusaṅghañca. |
I go for refuge to Master Gotama, to The Dharma, and to the monk Saṅgha. |
我皈依乔达摩大师，皈依法，皈依僧伽。 |
| Labheyyāhaṃ bhoto gotamassa santike pabbajjaṃ, labheyyaṃ upasampadan”ti. |
Sir, may I receive the going forth, the ordination in the Buddha’s presence?” |
世尊，我能否在佛陀面前出家受戒？” |
| “Yo kho, māgaṇḍiya, aññatitthiyapubbo imasmiṃ dhammavinaye ākaṅkhati pabbajjaṃ, ākaṅkhati upasampadaṃ, so cattāro māse parivasati; catunnaṃ māsānaṃ accayena āraddhacittā bhikkhū pabbājenti, upasampādenti bhikkhubhāvāya. |
“Māgaṇḍiya, if someone formerly ordained in another sect wishes to take the going forth, the ordination in this Dharma and training, they must spend four months on probation. When four months have passed, if the monks are satisfied, they’ll give the going forth, the ordination into monkhood. |
“摩犍提亚，如果有人以前在其他教派受戒，希望在这个佛法和训练中出家受戒，他们必须先观察四个月。四个月过后，如果比丘们满意，他们就会给予出家受戒。 |
| Api ca mettha puggalavemattatā viditā”ti. |
However, I have recognized individual differences in this matter.” |
然而，我在这方面认识到个体的差异。” |
| “Sace, bhante, aññatitthiyapubbā imasmiṃ dhammavinaye ākaṅkhantā pabbajjaṃ, ākaṅkhantā upasampadaṃ cattāro māse parivasanti, catunnaṃ māsānaṃ accayena āraddhacittā bhikkhū pabbājenti upasampādenti bhikkhubhāvāya; ahaṃ cattāri vassāni parivasissāmi, catunnaṃ vassānaṃ accayena āraddhacittā bhikkhū pabbājentu, upasampādentu bhikkhubhāvāyā”ti. |
“Sir, if four months probation are required in such a case, I’ll spend four years on probation. When four years have passed, if the monks are satisfied, let them give me the going forth, the ordination into monkhood.” |
“世尊，如果在这种情况下需要观察四个月，我将观察四年。四年过后，如果比丘们满意，就请他们给我出家受戒。” |
| Alattha kho māgaṇḍiyo paribbājako bhagavato santike pabbajjaṃ, alattha upasampadaṃ. |
And the wanderer Māgaṇḍiya received the going forth, the ordination in the Buddha’s presence. |
游方者摩犍提亚在佛陀面前获得了出家受戒。 |
| Acirūpasampanno kho panāyasmā māgaṇḍiyo eko vūpakaṭṭho appamatto ātāpī pahitatto viharanto nacirasseva—yassatthāya kulaputtā sammadeva agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajanti, tadanuttaraṃ—brahmacariyapariyosānaṃ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja vihāsi. |
Not long after his ordination, Venerable Māgaṇḍiya, living alone, withdrawn, assiduous, ardent, and resolute, realized the supreme culmination of the spiritual path in this very life. He lived having achieved with his own insight the goal for which people from good families rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness. |
受戒后不久，尊者摩犍提亚独自一人，离群索居，精进、热忱、坚定，就在此生证得了灵性道路的最高境界。他以自己的洞察力证得了善家子弟舍弃居家生活而过无家生活的目的。 |
| “Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā”ti abbhaññāsi. |
He understood: “Rebirth is ended; the spiritual journey has been completed; what had to be done has been done; there is no return to any state of existence.” |
他明白了：“轮回已尽；梵行已立；所作已办；不再回到任何存在状态。” |
| Aññataro kho panāyasmā māgaṇḍiyo arahataṃ ahosīti. |
And Venerable Māgaṇḍiya became one of the perfected. |
尊者摩犍提亚成为了一位阿罗汉。 |
