TATRA KHO BHAGAVĀ BHIKKHŪ ĀMANTESI BHIKKAVOTI. 

BHADANTETI TE BHIKKHŪ BHAGAVATO PACCASSOSUṀ. 

BHAGAVĀ ETADAVOCA:

如是我聞:一時,世尊住在捨衛城給孤獨長者的祇陀林精捨。那時,世尊告諸比丘們:「諸比丘。」「世尊」,比丘們應道。世尊開始說:

Thus, have I heard: At one time the Blessed One was staying near Savatthi in Jeta’s Grove at Anāthapindika’s park (monastery). There he addressed the monks, saying, 「monks.」 「Yes, Lord,」the monks responded to him. 

The Blessed One said:

UPPĀDĀ VĀ BHIKKHAVE TATHĀGATĀNAṀ ANUPPĀDĀ VĀ TATHĀGATĀNAṀ, 

ṬHITĀ VA SĀ DHĀTU DHAMMAṬṬHITATĀ DHAMMANIYĀMATĀ:

諸比丘!無論如來出現於世間與否,此法常住,法住、法界、法定性:一切行是無常。如來圓滿覺悟觀照此真理。圓滿覺悟觀照之後,他即敘說、教示、建立、闡揚、解說,而彰顯之:一切行是無常。

Bhikkhus, whether there is the appearance of Tathagatas or there is not the appearance of Tathagatas, there is this established condition of Dhamma, this orderliness of the Dhamma: All processes are inconstant. That, a Tathagata has fully awakened to; He fully understands. So awakened and fully understanding, He announces it, points it out, declares, establishes, expounds, explains and clarifies (that): All processes are inconstant.

UPPĀDĀ VĀ BHIKKHAVE TATHĀGATĀNAṀ ANUPPĀDĀ VĀ TATHĀGATĀNAṀ,

諸比丘!無論如來出現於世間與否,此法常住,法住、法界、法定性:一切行是苦。如來圓滿覺悟觀照此真理。圓滿覺悟觀照之後,他即敘說、教示、建立、闡揚、解說,而彰顯之:一切行是苦。

Bhikkhus, whether there is the appearance of Tathagatas or there is not the appearance of Tathagatas, there is the established condition of Dhamma, this orderliness of the Dhamma: All processes are stressful. That, a Tathagata has fully awakened to; He fully understands. So awakened and understanding, He announces it, points it out, declares, establishes, expounds, explains and clarifies (that): All processes are stressful.

UPPĀDĀ VĀ BHIKKHAVE TATHĀGATĀNAṀ ANUPPĀDĀ VĀ TATHĀGATĀNAṀ,

VIVARATI VIBHAJATI UTTĀNĪKAROTI: SABBE DHAMMĀ ANATTĀTI.

諸比丘!無論如來出現於世間與否,此法常住,法住、法界、法定性:一切法是無我。如來圓滿覺悟觀照次真理。圓滿覺悟觀照之後,他即敘說、教示、建立、闡揚、解說,而彰顯之:一切法是無我。

Bhikkhus, whether there is the appearance of Tathagatas or there is not the appearance of Tathagatas, there is the established condition of Dhamma, this orderliness of the Dhamma: All phenomena are not-self. That, a Tathagata has fully awakened to; He fully understands. So awakened and understanding, He announces it, points it out, declares, establishes, expounds, explains and clarifies (that): All phenomena are not-self.

IDAMAVOCA BHAGAVĀ. ATTAMANĀ TE BHIKKHŪ BHAGAVATO BHĀSITAṀ ABHINANDUNTI.

佛說此經已。諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。

That is what the Blessed One said. Gratified, the monks delighted at his words.

周圍輾碾,	壓碎四方,
Moving in from all sides	Crushing the four directions.
EVAṀ JARĀ CA MACCU CA	ADHIVATTANTI PĀṆINO

不管是武士、婆羅門、商人、平民或賤民、挑糞人,
Noble warriors, priests, merchants,	Workers, outcastes and scavengers.

乃至以咒語戰術	或財寶賄賂之戰,亦無能勝老死的逼迫。
Nor can a battle of spells	Or wealth wins out.

因此,賢者為了自己的利益會這麼想:
So, a wise person,	Seeing his own good,
BUDDHE DHAMME CA SAṄGHE CA	DHĪRO SADDHAṀ NIVESAYE
於佛、法、僧中起淨信而安住其中,
Secures conviction	In the Buddha, Dhamma and Saṅgha.

於身、口、意奉行佛法的人,
He who practices the Dhamma	in thoughts, words and deed
IDHEVA NAṀ PASAṀSANTI	PECCA SAGGE PAMODATI.
此生世人稱譽,未世生天亦欣喜。
Receives praise here on earth	And after death rejoices in heaven.

"Praise the one who truly lives for even a single night."

佛自說偈 BUDDHA-UDĀNA GĀTHĀ ( The Three Inspired Verses )

YADĀ HAVE PĀTUBHAVANTI DHAMMĀ, 

ĀTĀPINO JHĀYATO BRĀHMAṆASSA, 

ATHASSA KAṄKHĀVAPAYANTI SABBĀ, 

YATO PAJĀNĀTI SAHETUDHAMMAṀ. 

當諸法顯現於精勤禪修的婆羅門時,他將疑惑冰消,因為他了知所有一切法皆有其因緣。

Whenever all Dhamma teachings appear to Brahmas who burn defilement regularly and diligently, their doubts, at that time, are removed because they understand the cause of Dhamma.

YADĀ HAVE PĀTUBHAVANTI DHAMMĀ,

YATO KHAYAṀ PACCAYĀNAṀ AVEDI.

當諸法顯現於精勤禪修的婆羅門時,他將疑惑冰消,因為他了知因緣的滅盡。

Whenever all Dhamma teachings appear to Brahmas, who burn defilement regularly and diligently, their doubts, at that time, are removed because they know the end of Dhamma (which is a factor).

YADĀ HAVE PĀTUBHAVANTI DHAMMĀ, 

ĀTĀPINO JHĀYATO BRĀHMAṆASSA,

當諸法顯現於精勤禪修的婆羅門時,他將大破魔軍,昂然端立,猶如太陽遍照虛空。 

Whenever all Dhamma teachings appear to Brahmas, who burn defilement regularly and diligently, they are capable of getting rid of Mārā and the chief of Māra, like the sun shining brightly in the sky.
