世尊！是诸比丘于四谛中决定无疑。于此众中所作未办者，见佛灭度，当有悲感。若有初入法者，闻佛所说，即皆得度，譬如夜见电光即得见道。若所作已办、已度苦海者，但作是念：‘世尊灭度，一何疾哉！’” 阿㝹楼驮虽说是语，众中皆悉了达四圣谛义。世尊欲令此诸大众皆得坚固，以大悲心复为众说： “汝等比丘，勿怀忧恼。若我住世一劫会亦当灭，会而不离，终不可得。自利利人法皆具足，若我久住更无所益，应可度者，若天上人间皆悉已度，其未度者，皆亦已作得度因缘。自今已后，我诸弟子展转行之，则是如来法身常在而不灭也。是故当知，世皆无常，会必有离，勿怀忧也。世相如是，当勤精进早求解脱，以智慧明灭诸痴闇。世实危脆无牢强者，我今得灭如除恶病，此是应舍罪恶之物，假名为身，没在生老病死大海，何有智者得除灭之，如杀怨贼而不欢喜？ “汝等比丘，常当一心勤求出道，一切世间动不动法，皆是败坏不安之相。汝等且止，勿得复语，时将欲过，我欲灭度，是我最后之所教诲。” 佛垂般涅槃略说教诫经 现代汉语译本： 世尊！这些比丘对于四谛（苦、集、灭、道）已经完全没有疑惑。在这僧团中，那些修行尚未圆满的比丘，见到佛陀入灭，必定会感到悲伤。如果有些初入佛法的人，听到佛陀所说的教诲，就能立即得到解脱，就像在黑夜里见到闪电的光芒就能看清道路一样。而那些已经完成修行、已经度过苦海的人，只会这样想：‘世尊入灭，怎么这么快啊！’ 虽然阿㝹楼驮（Anuruddha，佛陀的十大弟子之一，以天眼第一著称）这样说，但僧团中的所有人都已经完全理解了四圣谛的含义。世尊为了让这些大众都能更加坚定，以大悲心再次为他们开示： ‘你们这些比丘，不要忧愁烦恼。即使我住世一个劫（kalpa，极长的时间单位），也终究会入灭，有相聚就必然有分离，这是无法避免的。自利利他的教法都已经完备，如果我长久住世也没有什么益处。应该被度化的人，无论是天上还是人间，都已经度化完毕，那些尚未被度化的人，也都已经种下了得度的因缘。从今以后，我的弟子们辗转相传，这就是如来的法身常在而不灭。所以应当知道，世间一切都是无常的，有相聚就必然有分离，不要为此忧愁。世间的真相就是如此，应当勤奋精进，早日求解脱，用智慧的光芒来消除一切愚痴的黑暗。世间实在是很脆弱，没有什么是牢固强大的，我今天入灭就像是除去了恶疾，这身体是应该舍弃的罪恶之物，只是一个假名，它沉没在生老病死的大海中，有智慧的人能够除灭它，就像杀死怨贼一样，难道不应该感到欢喜吗？’ ‘你们这些比丘，应当常常一心一意地勤求出离之道，世间一切动与不动的事物，都是败坏不安的现象。你们先停止说话吧，不要再说了，时间快要到了，我将要入灭，这是我最后的教诲。’

English version: World-Honored One! These bhikshus (monks) have no doubt about the Four Noble Truths (duhkha, samudaya, nirodha, marga). Among this assembly, those who have not yet completed their practice will feel sorrow upon seeing the Buddha's parinirvana (death). If there are those who are new to the Dharma, upon hearing the Buddha's teachings, they will immediately attain liberation, just as one sees the path upon seeing a flash of lightning in the night. Those who have completed their practice and crossed the sea of suffering will only think: 'The World-Honored One's parinirvana is so swift!' Although Anuruddha (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, known for his divine eye) spoke these words, everyone in the assembly fully understood the meaning of the Four Noble Truths. The World-Honored One, wishing to strengthen the resolve of the assembly, spoke to them again with great compassion: 'You bhikshus, do not grieve or worry. Even if I were to remain in the world for a kalpa (an extremely long period of time), I would still eventually pass away. To meet without parting is impossible. The Dharma for self-benefit and the benefit of others is complete. If I were to remain longer, it would be of no further benefit. Those who were to be liberated, whether in the heavens or in the human realm, have already been liberated. Those who have not yet been liberated have also created the conditions for liberation. From now on, my disciples will continue to transmit the teachings, and thus the Dharma body of the Tathagata (Buddha) will always be present and will not perish. Therefore, you should know that all things in the world are impermanent, and that meeting is inevitably followed by parting. Do not grieve over this. Such is the nature of the world. You should diligently strive for liberation, using the light of wisdom to dispel the darkness of ignorance. The world is truly fragile, and nothing is strong or lasting. My passing away is like the removal of a terrible disease. This body is a sinful thing that should be discarded, a mere name, submerged in the great ocean of birth, old age, sickness, and death. How can a wise person not rejoice in its removal, just as one rejoices in killing an enemy?' 'You bhikshus, you should always diligently seek the path of liberation with a single mind. All things in the world, whether moving or unmoving, are subject to decay and instability. You should stop speaking now, for the time is near, and I am about to enter parinirvana. This is my final teaching.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
