迦叶白佛言：“我今于佛正法，见最上句，住寂静意，毕竟不复堕于欲有，别异教中更不修习，是故弃舍事火等法。” 尔时，尊者那提迦叶白尊者优楼频螺迦叶言：“佛世尊者，证涅槃法，离过无染，最上清净，出世说法，广大利益。而汝迦叶，亦能善说。” 尔时，尊者伽耶迦叶为频婆娑罗王说伽陀曰： “善来大王听我说， 我大居止伽耶山， 正等正觉出世间， 说涅槃句我得利。 佛最胜者大象龙， 无上调伏最上尊， 无畏善御诸众生， 三摩呬多心寂静。 我昔长夜心染污， 起诸邪见不解脱， 佛今破我邪见心， 一切缠结皆消散。” 是时，众会疑念皆息，乃知尊者优楼频螺迦叶，并诸眷属，归佛出家，修持梵行，甚为希有。 尔时，世尊知彼众会已息疑心，乃为频婆娑罗王等，宣说法要，如先佛世尊所说法式，谓施论、戒论、生天之论，欲为染污，生诸过失，爱若不生心即离障。 时王并诸眷属，闻是法已，咸发净信，归依佛法僧，受持学句。即于世尊，起安乐心、柔软心、最上心、离障心、无著心、善顺心。 是时，世尊知王及众心开意解，如先佛世尊所说法式，以无数方便，复为宣说，苦集灭道四谛法门。 现代汉语译本 迦叶对佛说：‘我现在在佛的正法中，见到了最上的道理，安住于寂静的心意，最终不再堕入欲界轮回，也不再在其他的教派中修习，所以舍弃了事火等法。’ 当时，尊者那提迦叶对尊者优楼频螺迦叶说：‘佛世尊证得了涅槃之法，远离过失和染污，是最上清净的，出世说法，广大利益众生。而你迦叶，也能很好地说法。’ 当时，尊者伽耶迦叶为频婆娑罗王说了偈颂： ‘大王请听我说，我居住在伽耶山（地名），正等正觉的佛陀出现在世间，宣说涅槃的道理，我因此而得利益。佛是最殊胜的，如同大象和龙一样，是无上的调御者，最尊贵，无畏地引导众生，心意安定而寂静。我过去长久以来心被染污，生起各种邪见而不能解脱，佛现在破除了我的邪见之心，一切缠缚都消散了。’ 这时，大众的疑虑都消除了，才知道尊者优楼频螺迦叶和他的眷属，归依佛陀出家，修持清净的梵行，这是非常稀有的。 当时，世尊知道大众已经消除了疑心，就为频婆娑罗王等人宣说佛法的要义，如同过去诸佛世尊所说的法式一样，讲述布施的功德、持戒的功德、以及投生天界的道理，说明欲望是染污的，会产生各种过失，如果爱欲不生，心就能远离障碍。 当时，国王和他的眷属，听了这些佛法后，都生起了清净的信心，归依佛、法、僧三宝，受持佛陀的教诲。即刻对世尊生起了安乐的心、柔软的心、最上的心、远离障碍的心、没有执著的心、善良顺从的心。 当时，世尊知道国王和大众心意已经开解，如同过去诸佛世尊所说的法式一样，用无数的方法，再次为他们宣说苦、集、灭、道四谛法门。

English version Kashyapa said to the Buddha: 'Now, in the Buddha's true Dharma, I have seen the supreme truth, abide in a state of peaceful mind, and will ultimately no longer fall into the realm of desire. I will no longer practice in other religions, therefore I abandon the practices such as fire worship.' At that time, Venerable Nadi Kashyapa said to Venerable Uruvilva Kashyapa: 'The World Honored Buddha has attained the Dharma of Nirvana, is free from faults and defilements, is supremely pure, teaches the Dharma in the world, and greatly benefits beings. And you, Kashyapa, are also able to speak well.' At that time, Venerable Gaya Kashyapa spoke the following gatha (verse) for King Bimbisara: 'Welcome, Great King, listen to what I say. I dwell on Gaya Mountain (place name). The Fully Enlightened One has appeared in the world, speaking the words of Nirvana, and I have benefited from it. The Buddha is the most victorious, like a great elephant and a dragon, the unsurpassed tamer, the most honored, fearlessly guiding all beings, with a mind that is stable and peaceful. In the past, for a long time, my mind was defiled, giving rise to various wrong views and unable to be liberated. Now the Buddha has broken my mind of wrong views, and all entanglements have dissipated.' At this time, the doubts of the assembly were all dispelled, and they knew that Venerable Uruvilva Kashyapa and his retinue had taken refuge in the Buddha, left home, and practiced pure conduct, which was very rare. At that time, the World Honored One knew that the assembly had dispelled their doubts, and then proclaimed the essentials of the Dharma to King Bimbisara and others, according to the Dharma style spoken by the Buddhas of the past, speaking of the merits of giving, the merits of keeping precepts, and the reasons for being born in the heavens, explaining that desire is defiling and will produce various faults. If desire does not arise, the mind can be free from obstacles. At that time, the king and his retinue, having heard this Dharma, all developed pure faith, took refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, and upheld the teachings of the Buddha. Immediately, they developed a mind of peace and joy, a gentle mind, a supreme mind, a mind free from obstacles, a mind without attachment, and a mind of good obedience towards the World Honored One. At that time, the World Honored One knew that the king and the assembly had opened their minds and understood, and according to the Dharma style spoken by the Buddhas of the past, with countless skillful means, He again proclaimed to them the Four Noble Truths of suffering, accumulation, cessation, and the path. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

时王并众不起于座，悉能了知苦集灭道四圣谛理，见法知法，得白净法、平等法、坚固法、安住法、无恚法、无坏法、无堕法，犹如白衣易受染色，王等获利，亦复如是。 时王并诸眷属，蒙佛宣说法要，示利喜已，从座而起，顶礼佛足。是时有守空神、守种子神、守国界神、守事业神、守草神、守木神、守畜类神、守树林神、守道路神，如是诸神，咸作人言，互相谓曰：“世尊具大神通，有大威力，能作种种神变等事。”即说伽陀曰： “今日频婆娑罗王， 并诸眷属归依佛， 闻法获利竹林中， 我等诸神亦归佛。” 尔时，频婆娑罗王并诸眷属，右绕世尊，出离众会。 复次，王舍城有一外道，名删阇夜，与自眷属，居止其中。而删阇夜，后亡殁已，彼二弟子，一名舍利子，一名大目乾连。是二弟子，弃舍彼众已，互相谓言：“我等二人，若先有所证，必相告语。” 后于一时，有尊者乌波西那，食时着衣持钵，入王舍城，次第乞食。时舍利子，见彼尊者自远而来，诸根调寂，威仪整肃，即作是念：“今此尊者威仪进止，希有最上。”念已，前诣问言：“尊者！汝师何人？复说何法。” 乌波西那答言：“我师是大沙门，于大众中，决定宣说无屈伏力广大法门。” 舍利子言：“汝今可能于彼法门，若少若多，为我宣说。” 乌波西那言：“我师所说，缘生之法。缘生法者，谓一切法从因缘生、从因缘灭。”复以是义，说伽陀曰： “若法因缘生， 法亦因缘灭， 是生灭因缘， 佛大沙门说。” 时，舍利子闻是法已，远尘离垢，得法眼净，即说伽陀曰： “如是缘生妙章句， 尊者为我善开示， 我于那庾多劫中， 不见不闻今得遇。” 说是伽陀已，又言：“尊者！世尊今在何处？” 乌波西那答言：“世尊今在迦兰陀竹林精舍。”又言：“我今得诣世尊处不？”彼答言：“汝当随意。” 时舍利子忆念大目乾连先所言约，今应往告，念已即往。时大目乾连见舍利子进止威仪胜彼先时，知必证法，乃谓舍利子言：“汝有所证耶？” 舍利子言：“世尊所说缘生之法，乌波西那为我略说，我已证悟，如彼所说伽陀曰： “‘若法因缘生， 法亦因缘灭， 是生灭因缘， 佛大沙门说。’” 大目乾连闻是法已，远尘离垢，得法眼净。 佛说此经已，迦叶等诸大声闻，及一切世间天人、阿修罗、乾闼婆等，闻佛所说，欢喜信受。 佛说初分说经卷下 现代汉语译本 舍利子问：‘你现在能否就那个法门，或多或少地为我宣说？’ 乌波西那回答：‘我的老师所说的是缘起之法（Pratītyasamutpāda，指一切事物依因缘而生起的法则）。缘起之法，就是说一切法从因缘生，也从因缘灭。’他又用这个道理，说了偈颂： ‘若法因缘生，法亦因缘灭，是生灭因缘，佛大沙门说。’ 当时，舍利子（Śāriputra，佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）听了这法之后，远离尘垢，得到法眼净（Dharma-cakṣus，指对佛法的正确理解和证悟），随即说了偈颂： ‘如是缘生妙章句，尊者为我善开示，我于那庾多劫中，不见不闻今得遇。’ 说了偈颂后，又问：‘尊者！世尊（Bhagavān，佛陀的尊称）现在在哪里？’ 乌波西那回答：‘世尊现在在迦兰陀竹林精舍（Kalandaka Venuvana，位于古印度王舍城的一处竹林，是佛陀常住的地方）。’又问：‘我现在可以去世尊那里吗？’他回答：‘你可以随意。’ 当时，舍利子忆念起大目乾连（Mahāmaudgalyāyana，佛陀十大弟子之一，以神通著称）先前所说好的约定，现在应该去告诉他，想到这里就去了。当时大目乾连看到舍利子进退的威仪胜过先前，知道他必定证得了法，于是对舍利子说：‘你有所证悟了吗？’ 舍利子说：‘世尊所说的缘起之法，乌波西那为我略说，我已经证悟，就像他所说的偈颂： ‘若法因缘生，法亦因缘灭，是生灭因缘，佛大沙门说。’’ 大目乾连听了这法之后，远离尘垢，得到法眼净。 佛陀说了这部经后，迦叶（Kāśyapa，佛陀的弟子，以苦行著称）等各位大声闻（Śrāvaka，指听闻佛法而证悟的弟子），以及一切世间的天人（Deva，天神）、阿修罗（Asura，一种好战的神）、乾闼婆（Gandharva，一种天上的乐神）等，听了佛陀所说，欢喜信受。 佛说初分说经卷下

English version Śāriputra said, 'Is it now possible for you to expound to me, in small measure or great, that Dharma gate?' Upasena replied, 'What my teacher taught is the Dharma of Dependent Arising (Pratītyasamutpāda, the law that all things arise based on conditions). The Dharma of Dependent Arising means that all dharmas arise from conditions and cease from conditions.' He further explained this meaning by reciting a gatha (verse): 'Whatever dharmas arise from conditions, those dharmas also cease from conditions. This is the cause of arising and ceasing, taught by the Buddha, the great Śramaṇa (ascetic).' At that time, Śāriputra (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha, known for his wisdom), having heard this Dharma, was freed from dust and defilement, and attained the Dharma-cakṣus (Dharma-eye, clear vision of the Dharma), and immediately recited a gatha: 'Such a wonderful verse on Dependent Arising, the Venerable One has kindly revealed to me. For countless nayuta kalpas (a very long period of time), I have not seen or heard it, but now I have encountered it.' Having recited the gatha, he further asked, 'Venerable One! Where is the Bhagavan (Blessed One, an epithet of the Buddha) now?' Upasena replied, 'The Bhagavan is now at the Kalandaka Venuvana (Bamboo Grove Monastery, a bamboo grove in Rajagriha where the Buddha often stayed).' He further asked, 'May I now go to where the Bhagavan is?' He replied, 'You may do as you wish.' At that time, Śāriputra remembered the prior agreement with Mahāmaudgalyāyana (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha, known for his supernatural powers), that he should now go and inform him, and having thought this, he went. At that time, Mahāmaudgalyāyana, seeing that Śāriputra's demeanor and conduct were superior to before, knew that he must have realized the Dharma, and said to Śāriputra, 'Have you realized something?' Śāriputra said, 'The Dharma of Dependent Arising taught by the Bhagavan, Upasena briefly explained to me, and I have realized it, as in the gatha he recited: 'Whatever dharmas arise from conditions, those dharmas also cease from conditions. This is the cause of arising and ceasing, taught by the Buddha, the great Śramaṇa.'" Mahāmaudgalyāyana, having heard this Dharma, was freed from dust and defilement, and attained the Dharma-cakṣus. After the Buddha spoke this sutra, the great Śrāvakas (disciples who attain enlightenment by hearing the Dharma), such as Kāśyapa (one of the Buddha's disciples, known for his ascetic practices), and all the devas (gods), asuras (demigods), gandharvas (celestial musicians), and others in the world, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and accepted it with faith.
