Visuddhimagga VII-123

Gedhasuttepi

在《贪求经》中亦说：

Ñ(VII,123): Also in the Gedha Sutta they are expounded in order that a noble disciple should purify his consciousness by means of the recollections and so attain further purification in the ultimate sense thus:

‘‘idha, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako tathāgataṃ anussarati,

「诸比丘，兹有圣弟子，随念如来：

Ñ: 'Here, bhikkhus, a noble disciple recollects the Perfect One in this way:

itipi so bhagavā…pe… ujugatamevassa tasmiṃ samaye cittaṃ hoti nikkhantaṃ muttaṃ vuṭṭhitaṃ gedhamhā.

世尊亦即是阿罗汉……那时心成正直，[PTS 227] 出离超脱于贪求。

Ñ: That Blessed One is such since he is accomplished.... His mind has rectitude on that occasion. He has renounced, [227] got free from, emerged from cupidity.

Gedhoti kho, bhikkhave, pañcannetaṃ kāmaguṇānamadhivacanaṃ.

诸比丘，什么是贪求？与五种欲是同义语。

Ñ: Cupidity, bhikkhus, is a term for the five cords of sense desire.

Idampi kho, bhikkhave, ārammaṇaṃ karitvā evamidhekacce sattā visujjhantī’’ti (a. ni. 6.25)

诸比丘，兹有情以此（由佛随念所得的近行禅）为所缘而得清净」，

Ñ: Some beings gain purity here by making this [recollection] their prop' (A.iii, 312).

evaṃ ariyasāvakassa anussativasena cittaṃ visodhetvā uttari paramatthavisuddhiadhigamatthāya kathitā.

这是为圣弟子说依于随念而心得清净，更证得第一义的清净。
