如是我聞： |
Thus I heard: |
一時，佛住菴羅聚落菴羅 林中，與諸上座比丘俱。 |
For a while, the Buddha lived in Anluo and settled in the Anluo forest, together with all the Lord Bhikkhus. |
時，有尼犍若提 子與五百眷屬詣菴羅林中，欲誘質多羅 長者以為弟子。 |
At that time, there was Nigantha and five hundred family members in Luo'an Luo Lin, who wanted to lure the elders of Duo Luo into disciples. |
質多羅長者聞尼犍若提子 將五百眷屬來詣菴羅林中，欲誘我為弟 子，聞已，即往詣其所，共相問訊畢，各於一 面坐。 |
The elder of quality Duo Luo Wen Ni Gan Ruo Zi brought five hundred of his family members to Luo Lin, and wanted to entice me to be a disciple. After hearing this, he would go to where he was, and after the interrogation, they would sit on one side. |
時，尼犍若提子語質多羅長者言： |
At that time, Nigantha asked Citta the householder: |
「汝 信沙門瞿曇得無覺無觀三昧耶？」 |
Do you have faith in the Buddha’s teaching, that there is a samadhi that is without vitakka and without vicara? |
質多羅 長者答言： |
Citta The elder replied: |
「我不以信故來也。」 |
I don't have faith. |
阿耆毘言： |
Nigantha said: |
「長者！汝不諂、不幻、質直、質直所生。 |
"citta the Elder! You are born of unfaithfulness, unrealistic, straightforward quality, and straightforward quality. |
長者！若能 息有覺有觀者，亦能以繩繫縛於風，若能 息有覺有觀者，亦可以一把土斷恒水 流，我於行、住、坐、臥智見常生。」 |
Good sirs! To imagine that you can avoid having a samadhi with vitakka and vicara, is like imagining you can catch the wind with a rope net. To imagine that you can avoid having a samadhi with vitakka and vicara, is like imagining you can also dam the constant river currents of the earth. I can live, live, sit, and lie down. " |
質多羅長者 問尼犍若提子： |
The elder Citta asked Nigantha Nataputta: |
「為信在前耶？ |
"What is better? Being faithful? |
為智在前耶？ |
Or having knowledge? |
信之與智，何者為先？ |
Faith and knowledge, which one comes first? |
何者為勝？」 |
What one wins out? " |
尼犍若提 子答言： |
Nigantha replied: |
「信應在前，然後有智，信智相比，智 則為勝。」 |
Faith should come first, and then there is wisdom. Compared with faith and wisdom, wisdom wins. |
質多羅長者語尼犍若提子： |
Citta said to nigantha: |
「我已求 得息有覺有觀，內淨一心，無覺無觀，三昧生 喜樂，第二禪具足住。 |
"Whenever I want, I dwell in samadhi with vitakka and vicara, or samadhi with internal purity, singular focus, without vitakka and without vicara, with rapture born of samadhi. I abide in second jhana. |
我晝亦住此三昧，夜亦 住此三昧，終夜常住此三昧，有如是智，何 用信世尊為？」 |
I also live in this samādhi during the day, and this samādhi at night, and stay in this samādhi all night long. Since I have knowledge and personal experience with this samadhi, why do I need faith in the Buddha’s teaching of samadhi? " |
尼犍若提子言： |
Nigantha said: |
「汝諂曲、幻偽、 不直、不直所生。」 |
You are born of flattery, falsehood, not straight, not straight. |
質多羅長者言： |
What the elder citta says: |
「汝先言我 不諂曲、不幻、質直、質直所生，今云何言 諂曲、幻偽、不直、不直所生耶？ |
"You first said that I am not bluffing, not imaginary, quality straight, quality straight, how can I say that I am born of blunt song, false false, not straight, not straight? |
若汝前實者， 後則虛，後實者，前則虛。 |
If the former is real, the latter is imaginary, and the latter is real, and the former is imaginary. |
汝先言： |
Your first words: |
『我於行、住、 坐、臥知見常生。』 |
"I know how to live, live, sit, and lie down. 』 |
汝於前後，小事不知。 |
You don't know the little things before and after. |
云何 知過人法？ |
Yun Ho knows the human law? |
若知、若見、安樂住事？」 |
If you know, if you see, stay happily? " |
長者復問 尼犍若提子： |
The elder asks again Nija Ruozi: |
「有於一問、一說、一記論，乃至 十問、十說、十記論，汝有此不？ |
"There are one question, one comment, one commentary, and even ten questions, ten commentaries, and ten commentaries. Do you have this? |
若無一問、一說、 一記論，乃至十問、十說、十記論。 |
If there is no one question, one comment, one comment, or even ten questions, ten comments, and ten comments. |
云何能誘 於我，而來至此菴羅林中欲誘誑我？」 |
How can the cloud seduce me, but here in An Luo Lin wants to seduce me? " |
於是 尼犍若提子息閉掉頭，反拱而出，不復還 顧。 |
So if Nigan closed his head and turned around, he arched out instead of paying attention. |
