Visuddhimagga II-64

11. Sosānikaṅgakathā

十一、冢间住支

34.Sosānikaṅgampi ‘‘na susānaṃ paṭikkhipāmi, sosānikaṅgaṃ samādiyāmī’’ti imesaṃ aññataravacanena samādinnaṃ hoti.

（受持）冢间住支，亦于「我今禁止住于非冢墓处，我今受持冢间住支」的二语之中，用任何一语即得受持。

Ñ(II,64): xi. The charnel-ground-dweller's practice is undertaken with one of the following statements: 'I refuse what is not a charnel ground' or 'I undertake the charnel-ground-dweller's practice'.

Tena pana sosānikena yaṃ manussā gāmaṃ nivesantā ‘‘idaṃ susāna’’nti vavatthapenti, na tattha vasitabbaṃ. Na hi matasarīre ajjhāpite taṃ susānaṃ nāma hoti, jhāpitakālato pana paṭṭhāya sacepi dvādasavassāni chaḍḍitaṃ, taṃ susānameva.

（规定）当人们建设村庄时议决，确定一块地作冢墓，冢墓住者不应在此处住，因为那里尚未荼毗[tú pí]死尸[shī]，还不能说是冢墓。如果经过荼毗之后，纵使弃置十二年未曾再荼毗，亦得为冢墓。

Ñ: Now the charnel-ground dweller should not live in some place just because the people who built the village have called it 'the charnel ground' for it is not a charnel ground unless a dead body has been burnt on it. But as soon as one has been burnt on it, it becomes a charnel ground. And even if it has been neglected for a dozen years, it is so still.
