英譯取材自菩提比丘(BHIKKHU BODHI) 10. Satipatthana Sutta – The Foundations of Mindfulness
Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha (Wisdom Publications, Boston)
如是我聞,一時,佛在拘樓國劍磨瑟曇城中。
爾時佛呼諸比丘:諸比丘!諸比丘應諾:世尊!
1. THUS HAVE I HEARD. On one occasion the Blessed One was living in the Kuru country at a town of the Kurus named Kammasadhamma.
There he addressed the bhikkhus thus: “Bhikkhus.” – “Venerable sir,” they replied. The Blessed One said this:
世尊如此開示:諸比丘!此是使眾生清淨,超越愁悲,滅除苦憂,成就正道,體證涅槃之唯一道路,此即四念處。
2. “Bhikkhus, this is the direct path for the purification of beings [56], for the surmounting of sorrow and lamentation, for the disappearance of pain and grief, for the attainment of the true way, for the realisation of Nibbana – namely, the four foundations of mindfulness.
四者何耶?於此諸比丘!
比丘安住於身,循身觀察,熱誠、正知、正念,捨離對世間的貪欲與憂惱。
安住於受,隨觀感受,熱誠、正知、正念,捨離對世間的貪欲與憂惱。
安住於心,隨觀心識,熱誠、正知、正念,捨離對世間的貪欲與憂惱。
安住於法,隨觀諸法,熱誠、正知、正念,捨離對世間的貪欲與憂惱。
