| Atha kho āyasmato mālukyaputtassa rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa evaṃ cetaso parivitakko udapādi: |
Then as Venerable Māluṅkya was in private retreat this thought came to his mind: |
那时，当尊者马鲁卡亚在私人禅修时，他心里生起了这样的念头： |
| “yānimāni diṭṭhigatāni bhagavatā abyākatāni ṭhapitāni paṭikkhittāni: |
“There are several convictions that the Buddha has left undeclared; he has set them aside and refused to comment on them. |
“佛陀有几种信念没有宣说；他把它们搁置一旁，拒绝评论。 |
| ‘sassato loko’tipi, ‘asassato loko’tipi, ‘antavā loko’tipi, ‘anantavā loko’tipi, ‘taṃ jīvaṃ taṃ sarīran’tipi, ‘aññaṃ jīvaṃ aññaṃ sarīran’tipi, ‘hoti tathāgato paraṃ maraṇā’tipi, ‘na hoti tathāgato paraṃ maraṇā’tipi, ‘hoti ca na ca hoti tathāgato paraṃ maraṇā’tipi, ‘neva hoti na na hoti tathāgato paraṃ maraṇā’tipi— |
For example: the world is eternal, or not eternal, or finite, or infinite; the soul and the body are the same thing, or they are different things; after death, a Realized One exists, or doesn’t exist, or both exists and doesn’t exist, or neither exists nor doesn’t exist. |
例如：世界是永恒的，或不是永恒的，或有限的，或无限的；灵魂和身体是同一回事，或是不同的事物；死后，一位觉悟者存在，或不存在，或既存在又不存在，或既非存在又非不存在。 |
| tāni me bhagavā na byākaroti. |
The Buddha does not give me a straight answer on these points. |
佛陀在这些问题上没有给我一个直截了当的答案。 |
| Yāni me bhagavā na byākaroti taṃ me na ruccati, taṃ me nakkhamati. |
I don’t approve of that, and do not accept it. |
我不赞成这一点，也不接受。 |
| Sohaṃ bhagavantaṃ upasaṅkamitvā etamatthaṃ pucchissāmi. |
I’ll go to him and ask him about this. |
我要去问他。 |
| Sace me bhagavā byākarissati: |

如果他在这些问题上给我一个直截了当的答案， |

|
|
| ‘neva hoti na na hoti tathāgato paraṃ maraṇā’ti vā— |

我将在他座下过梵行生活。 |

如果他不在这些问题上给我一个直截了当的答案， |

我将放弃修行，回到世俗生活。” |

因为它们对梵行的根本没有益处或关联。它们不会导致离染、离欲、止息、寂静、洞察、觉醒和涅槃。 |
| Tasmā taṃ mayā abyākataṃ. |

| mayā byākataṃ; |
|
|
| ‘ayaṃ dukkhanirodho’ti— |
‘this is the cessation of suffering,’ |
“这是苦的止息”， |

为什么我宣说这些事情呢？ |
| Etañhi, mālukyaputta, atthasaṃhitaṃ etaṃ ādibrahmacariyakaṃ nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṃvattati. |
Because they are beneficial and relevant to the fundamentals of the spiritual life. They lead to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and nirvana. |
因为它们有益且与梵行的根本相关。它们会导致离染、离欲、止息、寂静、洞察、觉醒和涅槃。 |
| Tasmā taṃ mayā byākataṃ. |
That’s why I have declared them. |
这就是我宣说它们的原因。 |
| Tasmātiha, mālukyaputta, abyākatañca me abyākatato dhāretha; |
So, Māluṅkyaputta, you should remember what I have not declared as undeclared, |
所以，马鲁卡亚普塔，你应该记住我没有宣说的就是没有宣说， |
| byākatañca me byākatato dhārethā”ti. |
and what I have declared as declared.” |
我已经宣说的就是已经宣说。” |
