| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— |
So I have heard. |
如是我闻。 |
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. |
At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. |
一时，佛陀住在舍卫城祇树给孤独园。 |
| Atha kho vacchagotto paribbājako yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. |
Then the wanderer Vacchagotta went up to the Buddha and exchanged greetings with him. |
然后，跋迦姓游方者来到佛陀面前，与他互相问候。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho vacchagotto paribbājako bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: |
When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha: |
问候和礼貌的交谈结束后，他坐到一边，对佛陀说： |
| “Kiṃ nu kho, bho gotama, ‘sassato loko, idameva saccaṃ moghamaññan’ti— |
“Master Gotama, is this your view: ‘The world is eternal. This is the only truth, other ideas are stupid’?” |
“乔达摩大师，您的观点是：‘世界是永恒的。这是唯一的真理，其他观点都是愚蠢的’吗？” |
| evaṃdiṭṭhi bhavaṃ gotamo”ti? |
|
|
| “Na kho ahaṃ, vaccha, evaṃdiṭṭhi: |
“That’s not my view, Vaccha.” |
“那不是我的观点，婆蹉。” |
| ‘sassato loko, idameva saccaṃ moghamaññan’”ti. |
|
|
| “Kiṃ pana, bho gotama, ‘asassato loko, idameva saccaṃ moghamaññan’ti— |
“Then is this your view: ‘The world is not eternal. This is the only truth, other ideas are stupid’?” |
“那么，您的观点是：‘世界不是永恒的。这是唯一的真理，其他观点都是愚蠢的’吗？” |

|
|
| “Kiṃ nu kho, bho gotama, ‘taṃ jīvaṃ taṃ sarīraṃ, idameva saccaṃ moghamaññan’ti— |
“Then is this your view: ‘The soul and the body are the same thing. This is the only truth, other ideas are stupid’?” |
“那么，您的观点是：‘灵魂和身体是同一回事。这是唯一的真理，其他观点都是愚蠢的’吗？” |

“Each of these ten convictions is the thicket of views, the desert of views, the trick of views, the evasiveness of views, the fetter of views. They’re beset with anguish, distress, and fever. They don’t lead to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and nirvana. |
这十种见解都是见解的丛林、见解的荒漠、见解的诡计、见解的闪烁、见解的桎梏。它们充满痛苦、烦恼和热恼。它们不能导向厌离、离欲、止息、寂静、洞察、觉醒和涅槃。 |

“But does Master Gotama have any convictions at all?” |
“但是乔达摩大师，您有任何见解吗？” |

“The Realized One has done away with convictions. |
“如来已经抛弃了见解。 |

For the Realized One has seen: |
因为如来已经洞见： |

“Well then, are they both reborn and not reborn?” |
“那么，他们既投生又不投生吗？” |

我无法理解这一点，乔达摩大师；我已陷入困惑。 |

And I’ve now lost even the degree of clarity I had from previous discussion with Master Gotama.” |
我甚至失去了之前与乔达摩大师讨论时所获得的那点清晰。” |
| “Alañhi te, vaccha, aññāṇāya, alaṃ sammohāya. |
“No wonder you don’t understand, Vaccha, no wonder you’re confused. |

那么，婆蹉，我反过来问你这个问题，你可以随意回答。 |

What do you think, Vaccha? |
你认为如何，婆蹉？ |

假设你面前有一堆火在燃烧。你知道吗： |

‘This fire is burning in front of me’?” |
‘这火在我面前燃烧着’？” |
| “Sace me, bho gotama, purato aggi jaleyya, jāneyyāhaṃ: |

“It doesn’t apply, Master Gotama. The fire depended on grass and logs as fuel. When that runs out, and no more fuel is added, the fire is reckoned to have become nirvana'd due to lack of fuel.” |
“不适用，乔达摩大师。这火依靠草和木柴作为燃料。当燃料耗尽，且没有再添加燃料时，这火就被认为是因燃料耗尽而涅槃了。” |

| “seyyathāpi, bho gotama, gāmassa vā nigamassa vā avidūre mahāsālarukkho. |
“Master Gotama, suppose there was a large sal tree not far from a town or village. |
“乔达摩大师，假设离城镇或村庄不远的地方有一棵高大的娑罗树。 |
| Tassa aniccatā sākhāpalāsā palujjeyyuṃ, tacapapaṭikā palujjeyyuṃ, pheggū palujjeyyuṃ; |
And because it’s impermanent, its branches and foliage, bark and shoots, and softwood would fall off. |
由于它是无常的，它的枝叶、树皮、嫩芽和软木都会掉落。 |
| so aparena samayena apagatasākhāpalāso apagatatacapapaṭiko apagataphegguko suddho assa, sāre patiṭṭhito; |
After some time it would be rid of branches and foliage, bark and shoots, and softwood, consisting purely of heartwood. |
一段时间后，它就会没有枝叶、树皮、嫩芽和软木，只剩下纯粹的树心。 |
| evameva bhoto gotamassa pāvacanaṃ apagatasākhāpalāsaṃ apagatatacapapaṭikaṃ apagatapheggukaṃ suddhaṃ, sāre patiṭṭhitaṃ. |
In the same way, Master Gotama’s dispensation is rid of branches and foliage, bark and shoots, and softwood, consisting purely of heartwood. |
同样地，乔达摩大师的教法已无枝叶、树皮、嫩芽和软木，只剩下纯粹的树心。 |
| Abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama … pe … |
Excellent, Master Gotama! … |
太好了，乔达摩大师！…… |
| upāsakaṃ maṃ bhavaṃ gotamo dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupetaṃ saraṇaṃ gatan”ti. |
From this day forth, may Master Gotama remember me as a lay follower who has gone for refuge for life.” |
从今天起，愿乔达摩大师记得我是一个终身皈依的在家弟子。” |
