Visuddhimagga VI-91

Tathā hi kesalomanakhadantakheḷasiṅghāṇikauccārapassāvādīsu ekakoṭṭhāsampi sarīrato bahi patitaṃ sattā hatthena chupitumpi na icchanti, aṭṭīyanti harāyanti jigucchanti.

的确,不论发、毛、爪、齿、唾、涕、大便、小便等那一部分,若从身体落下之后,叫人用手去一触也不愿意,都是觉得那是憎嫌的厌恶的。

Ñ(VI,91): And then, when any such bits of it as head hairs, body hairs, nails, teeth, spittle, snot, excrement or urine have dropped off the body, beings will not touch them; they are ashamed, humiliated and disgusted.



Yaṃ yaṃ panettha avasesaṃ hoti, taṃ taṃ evaṃ paṭikkūlampi samānaṃ avijjandhakārapariyonaddhā attasineharāgarattā ‘‘iṭṭhaṃ kantaṃ niccaṃ sukhaṃ attā’’ti gaṇhanti.

其实遗留在身体的部分和落在外面的是同样厌恶的,只因他为无明的黑暗所笼罩,自生贪染,执取其身体为喜、爱、常、乐、[PTS 196] 我而已。

Ñ: But as long as any one of these things remains in it, though it is just as repulsive, they take it as agreeable, desirable, permanent, [196] pleasant, self, because they are wrapped in the murk of ignorance and dyed with affection and greed for self.



Te evaṃ gaṇhantā aṭaviyaṃ kiṃsukarukkhaṃ disvā rukkhato apatitapupphaṃ ‘‘ayaṃ maṃsapesī’’ti vihaññamānena jarasiṅgālena samānataṃ āpajjanti.

如果这样执取的人,正如昏迷了的老野干一样:一天它看见林间未曾落花的甄叔迦树,便自想道:「这是肉块!」

Ñ: Taking it as they do, they resemble the old jackal who saw a flower not yet fallen from a kiṃsuka tree in a forest and yearned after it, thinking, This is a piece of meat, it is a piece of meat'.
