取,欢乐变失,及其归趣,知不贪之德,是为正见,为精进行禅,为如佛教,不是愚痴食人施,何况多行者,撮取其要;若弹指间,惟行正思,为思出家、思不诤、思不杀;若惟行正语、不妄语、不两舌、不恶口、不形笑;若惟行正命,不以贪生活,不恚生活,不以痴生活;若惟行正业,不杀、不盗窃、不邪淫;若惟行正治,以修治四意断之事;若惟行正念,以受行四意止,亦惟行正定,以思念四禅事,事皆同如上说,其弹指间功德如是,何况多行者;是故可念行八正道。”佛说是已,皆欢喜受。 佛说禅行三十七品经 现代汉语译本: 获取(取)带来的只是欢乐的消逝,以及最终的归宿。明白不贪婪的德行,这就是正见,是精进的禅修,是如佛所教导的那样。不要像愚痴的人那样用食物来施舍,更何况是那些修行更多的人,要抓住其中的要点;即使在弹指之间,也要奉行正确的思考,思考出家、思考不争斗、思考不杀生;如果奉行正确的言语,不说谎、不两舌、不恶语、不做轻浮的嘲笑;如果奉行正当的谋生方式,不以贪婪为生,不以嗔恚为生,不以愚痴为生;如果奉行正确的行为,不杀生、不偷盗、不邪淫;如果奉行正确的精进,以修习四意断(Samyak Prahana,四正勤)之事;如果奉行正确的念,以接受和奉行四意止(Sati Patthana,四念处),也奉行正确的禅定,以思念四禅之事,所有这些都和上面所说的一样。即使在弹指之间,功德也是如此之大,更何况是那些修行更多的人;因此,应该忆念并奉行八正道(Arya Ashtanga Marga)’。”佛陀说完这些话,大家都欢喜地接受。 《佛说禅行三十七品经》

English version: 'Acquisition (取) only brings the loss of joy, and its ultimate destination. Understanding the virtue of non-greed, this is right view, diligent meditation, and as the Buddha taught. Do not be like foolish people who give food as alms, let alone those who practice more, grasp the essentials; even in the snap of a finger, practice right thought, thinking of renunciation, thinking of non-contention, thinking of non-killing; if you practice right speech, not lying, not double-tongued, not using harsh words, not making frivolous laughter; if you practice right livelihood, not living by greed, not living by anger, not living by delusion; if you practice right action, not killing, not stealing, not engaging in sexual misconduct; if you practice right effort, cultivating the four right exertions (Samyak Prahana); if you practice right mindfulness, accepting and practicing the four foundations of mindfulness (Sati Patthana), also practicing right concentration, contemplating the four Dhyanas, all these are the same as mentioned above. Even in the snap of a finger, the merit is so great, let alone those who practice more; therefore, one should remember and practice the Noble Eightfold Path (Arya Ashtanga Marga).' After the Buddha finished speaking, everyone joyfully accepted it.
