361

善哉制於眼。善哉制於耳。善哉制於鼻。善哉制於舌。

善哉制於身。善哉制於語。善哉制於意。善哉制一切，制一切比丘，解脫一切苦。

律儀眼是好的，律儀耳是好的，律儀鼻是好的，律儀舌是好的，

律儀身是好的，律儀語是好的，律儀意是好的，律儀諸根是好的，律儀諸根的比丘得以解脫一切苦。

Restraint over the eye is good. Good is restraint over the ear. Restraint over the nose is good. Good is restraint over the tongue.

Restraint over the body is good. Good is restraint over the speech. Restraint over the mind is good. Good is restraint everywhere. The monk who is restrained everywhere will be freed from all suffering.

莫輕自所得；寞羨他所得。比丘羨他（得），不證三摩地。

比丘所得雖少，而不輕嫌所得，生活清淨不怠，實為諸天稱讚。

不應輕視自己所得的，也莫妒嫉他人所得的。妒嫉他人的比丘不會獲得定力。

若比丘所得雖少，卻不輕視自己所得的，諸天肯定會稱讚這生活清淨與不怠惰的人。

One should not neglect one's own spiritual gain. One should not envy others. The monk who envies others will not attain concentration.

Even the gods praise the monk, who is living a pure life and is active, who does not neglect his spiritual profit, even though he has few material gains.

住於慈悲比丘，喜悅佛陀教法，到達寂靜安樂，諸行解脫境界。

比丘汲此舟（水），（水）去則舟輕快。斷除貪欲瞋恚，則得證於涅槃。

五斷及五棄，而五種勤修。越五著比丘──名渡瀑流者。

修定莫放逸，心莫惑於欲！莫待吞鐵丸，燒然乃苦號！

無慧者無定，無定者無慧。兼具定與慧，彼實近涅槃。

比丘入屏虛，彼之心寂靜，審觀於正法，得受超人樂。

若人常正念：諸蘊之生滅，獲得喜與樂，知彼得不死。

若智慧比丘，於世先作是：攝根及知足，護持別解脫。

態度須誠懇，行為須端正；是故彼多樂，得滅盡諸苦。

住於慈愛及勤修正法的比丘將會證悟寂靜、無為與安樂的涅槃。

諸比丘，汲掉這船（身）的水（邪念）。汲掉水後，船就能迅速地行駛。在斷除貪欲與瞋恨後你將會證悟涅槃。

斷除五個（低層次的結）（11）、捨棄五個（高層次的結）（12）及培育五個（五根）（13）。已脫離五種執著（14）的比丘被稱為「已渡過瀑流者」。

修禪吧，比丘。莫放逸、莫讓心沉迷於欲樂。莫失念與吞（熱）鐵丸；當你被獄火焚燒時，莫哀號「這真是苦」。

無慧者無定，無定者亦無慧。具足定慧兩者的人，真的已近涅槃。

比丘去到僻靜處（修禪），他的心是平靜的，能清晰地知見正法，體驗到凡夫所無之樂。

每當觀照五蘊的生滅時，他獲得喜樂。對於智者來說，這即是朝向涅槃之道。

對於有智慧的比丘，開始修行時應：防護感官、知足、遵守別解脫律儀（15）、親近精進與生活清淨的善友、友善及行為端正。然後，在（時常）充滿喜悅之下，他將滅盡苦惱（生死輪迴）。

（註11）五個低層次的結： sakkayaditthi「身見」、vicikkiccha「疑」、ilabbataparamasa「戒禁取見」、kamaraga「欲欲」與 byapada「瞋恨」。

（註12）五個高層次的結： ruparaga「色欲」、 aruparaga「無色欲」、mana「慢」、uddhacca「掉舉」及 avijja「無明」。

（註13）五根是信、精進、念、定與慧。

（註14）五種執著是貪、瞋、痴、慢與邪見。

（註15）別解脫是比丘的根本戒。

The monk, who is abiding in loving-kindness and trusting in the Buddha's teaching, will acquire the peaceful state of Nirvana, quieting of all conditioned things and happiness.

Empty this boat, monk! Empty it will travel quickly. Having cut off passion and hatred, you will approach the Nirvana.

Cut off five things, abandon five, five further cultivate. The monk who has overcome five attachments is called the one who has crossed over the flood.

Meditate, o monk! Don't be negligent! Let your mind not wander in the five strands of sensual pleasures. Don't negligently swallow the metal ball. When you are burning, don't lament, "This is suffering!"

There is no meditation for the ignorant one. There is no wisdom for someone, who does not meditate. Who has both wisdom and meditation, he is indeed close to the Nirvana.

The monk, who dwells in solitude, whose mind is tranquil, and who truly sees the Dharma with insight, experiences superhuman joy.

Whenever one understands thoroughly the rise and fall of the five aggregates, he will obtain joy and happiness. For those, who understand, this is known as "the deathlessness".

This here are the basic tasks for the wise monk: watchfulness over his senses, contentment and restraint in the monk's precepts.

Associate with virtuous friends who are of pure livelihood and active. Act friendly and let your behavior be good. Then, full of joy, you will make an end of suffering.

汝當自警策，汝應自反省！自護與正念，比丘住安樂。

自為自保護。自為自依怙。自為自調御，如商調良馬。

比丘，你應訓誡自己、檢討自己、防護自己及保持正念，如此你將生活安樂。

自己的確是自己的依歸，（他人怎能成為自己的依歸？）自己的確是自己的依靠。因此，你應如馬簡看護良馬般地看護自己。

You yourself exhort and control yourself. The monk, who is self-guarded and mindful, will live happily.

One is indeed one's own lord. One is indeed one's own destiny. Therefore restrain yourself, just like a merchant restrains a good horse.
