Visuddhimagga VII-125

Uposathasuttepi

在《布萨经》中亦说：

Ñ(VII,125): Also in the Uposatha Sutta they are expounded in order to show the greatness of the fruit of the Uposatha, as a mind-purifying meditation subject for a noble disciple who is observing the Uposatha:

‘‘kathañca, visākhe, ariyūposatho hoti?

「毗舍佉，怎样行圣布萨？

Ñ: 'And what is the noble ones' Uposatha, Visākhā?

Upakkiliṭṭhassa, visākhe, cittassa upakkamena pariyodapanā hoti.

毗舍佉，当从事清净其随污染的心。

Ñ: It is the gradual cleansing of the mind still sullied by imperfections.

Kathañca, visākhe, upakkiliṭṭhassa cittassa upakkamena pariyodapanā hoti?

毗舍佉，怎样从事清洁其随染污的心呢？

Ñ: And what is the gradual cleansing of the mind still sullied by imperfections?

Idha, visākhe, ariyasāvako tathāgataṃ anussaratī’’ti (a. ni. 3.71)

毗舍佉，即随念于如来」，

Ñ: Here, Visākhā, a noble disciple recollects the Perfect One ...' (A.i,206-11).

evaṃ ariyasāvakasseva uposathaṃ upavasato cittavisodhanakammaṭṭhānavasena uposathassa mahapphalabhāvadassanatthaṃ kathitā.

这是仅对受持布萨的圣弟子，显示以清净心而随念业处，得成布萨的大果。
