A Summary of the Mālukyaputta Sutta
摩罗迦子经的总结
The following is a summary of what the Buddha taught to Mālukyaputta regarding meditation.
佛陀给摩罗迦子教导的禅修方法总结如下:
- When you note with mindfulness what you see, hear, think, or know, remain conscious of just seeing, hearing, thinking, or knowing, and nothing more.
- If you just see, hear, think, or know what you are seeing, hearing, thinking, or knowing, you will not get emotionally involved in those phenomena.
- Since you have nothing whatever to do with them, you will find no foothold on the sense-objects that you perceive.
- As you have no foothold on them, you are neither here nor there, nor anywhere, and because you exist nowhere it means that you have realised nibbāna where all suffering ceases.
- 在你正念地注意所见、所闻、所觉、所知时,保持仅仅是在见、在闻、在觉、在知,再无其他(注:超出见和如所见,等)。
- 如果你只是见、闻、觉、知你的所见、所闻、所觉、所知,你将会在情绪上不再缠缚于这些现象。
- 因为你和它们没有了任何关系,你将会在你所感知的感官对象上找不到任何立足处。
- 因为你于它们没有立足处,你不在这,不在那,不在任何地方,同时,因为你不存在于任何处,这意味着你已经证悟涅槃,一切苦都熄灭了。
When Mālukyaputta had had the benefit of the Buddha’s advice, he expressed his satisfaction in twenty-four stanzas. Saying, “Well said, Mālukyaputta!” the Buddha elaborated on them himself, one by one. I will now explain them all, one by one.
摩罗迦子得到了佛陀开示的受益,便用二十四条句子表达他的喜悦。“善说!摩罗迦子!”佛陀说道,然后又亲自逐一地把这些句子叙述了一遍。现在我来逐一地解释它们。
