English version The Sutra on Contemplating the Twelve Nidānas Under the Banyan Tree (Also Known as the Sutra on the Twelve Nidānas of Hearing the City) Translated by Upāsaka Zhi Qian of the Yuezhi Kingdom of Wu Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in Śrāvastī, residing in the Jetavana-anāthapindika-ārāma. At that time, the Buddha said to the bhikṣus: 'Bhikṣus!' The bhikṣus responded: 'Yes, Lord.' The bhikṣus listened to the Buddha. The Buddha then said: 'Bhikṣus! When I had not yet attained Buddhahood and was still a bodhisattva, I thought to myself: 'Alas! This world is extremely painful, with birth, old age, and death, always having to endure suffering. When will I be able to escape from old age and death?' 'Bhikṣus! I then contemplated myself and arrived at this thought: 'Why is there old age and death? And what is the cause and condition for old age and death?' Bhikṣus! I then traced back to the origin and obtained the corresponding answer: 'Because there is birth, there is old age and death; it is also because of the condition of birth that there is old age and death.' 'Bhikṣus! I then contemplated: 'Why is there birth? And what is the cause and condition for birth?' Bhikṣus! I then contemplated myself, tracing back to the origin, and obtained the corresponding answer: 'Because there is becoming (bhava), there is birth; it is also because of the condition of becoming that there is birth.' 'Bhikṣus! I then contemplated and generated this thought: 'Why is there becoming? And what is the cause and condition for becoming?' Bhikṣus! I then contemplated, tracing back to the origin, and generated the corresponding thought: 'Because there is feeling (vedanā), there is becoming; it is also because of the condition of feeling that there is becoming.' 'Bhikṣus! I then contemplated: 'Why is there feeling? And what is the cause and condition for feeling?' Bhikṣus! I then traced back to the origin and obtained the corresponding answer: 'Because there is craving (tṛṣṇā), there is feeling; it is also because of the condition of craving that there is feeling.' 'Bhikṣus! I then contemplated: 'Why is there craving? And what is the cause and condition for craving?' Bhikṣus! I then contemplated, tracing back to the origin, and obtained the key point: 'Pleasant feeling -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 故爱,亦痛乐因缘复爱。’

“比丘!便思惟念:‘何以痛乐有?亦何因缘痛乐复有?’比丘!便思惟案本念,得是应意:‘更故痛乐有,亦更因缘痛乐复痛乐。’ “比丘!便思惟念:‘何以故有更?亦何因缘复更?’比丘!便思惟案本念,便生应意:‘六入故有更,亦六入因缘复更。’ “比丘!便思惟念:‘何以故有六入?亦何因缘复有六入?’比丘!便思惟案本念,得是应意:‘名像故有六入,亦名像因缘复有六入。’ “比丘!便思惟念:‘何以故名像有?亦何因缘复有名像?’比丘!便思惟案本念,得是应意:‘识故为名像有,亦识因缘复有名像。’ “比丘!便思惟念:‘何以故有识?亦何因缘复有识?’比丘!便思惟案本念,有是应意:‘名像故为有识,亦名像因缘复识。’ “比丘!便思惟,生是意:‘是何等咄是识,还不复前在?名像因缘识,亦识因缘名像;名像因缘六入,六入因缘更;更因缘痛,痛因缘爱;爱因缘受,受因缘有;有因缘生,生因缘老死。忧、哭、苦、不可意愁,从是致有。如是但为从五阴,一切苦从习生。’ “比丘!便自思惟念:‘何以故无有老死?亦何故老死灭尽?’比丘!便案本念思惟,得是应可意:‘无有生亦不老死已 现代汉语译本: ‘因为爱,所以痛苦和快乐相互关联,又产生爱。’ ‘比丘(Bhikkhu,佛教僧侣的称谓)!你应该这样思考:‘痛苦和快乐是如何产生的?又是什么因缘导致痛苦和快乐再次产生?’比丘!你应该追溯根源进行思考,就会明白:‘因为感受(更)所以痛苦和快乐产生,也是因为感受的因缘,痛苦和快乐再次产生。’ ‘比丘!你应该这样思考:‘感受(更)是如何产生的?又是什么因缘导致感受再次产生?’比丘!你应该追溯根源进行思考,就会自然明白:‘因为六入(Salayatana,眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意六种感觉器官)所以感受产生,也是因为六入的因缘,感受再次产生。’ ‘比丘!你应该这样思考:‘六入是如何产生的?又是什么因缘导致六入再次产生?’比丘!你应该追溯根源进行思考,就会明白:‘因为名色(Namarupa,精神和物质现象)所以六入产生,也是因为名色的因缘,六入再次产生。’ ‘比丘!你应该这样思考:‘名色是如何产生的?又是什么因缘导致名色再次产生?’比丘!你应该追溯根源进行思考,就会明白:‘因为识(Vijnana,意识)所以名色产生,也是因为识的因缘,名色再次产生。’ ‘比丘!你应该这样思考:‘识是如何产生的?又是什么因缘导致识再次产生?’比丘!你应该追溯根源进行思考,就会明白:‘因为名色所以识产生,也是因为名色的因缘,识再次产生。’ ‘比丘!你应该这样思考,产生这样的想法:‘这所谓的识是什么?它不会回到之前的状态吗?名色是识的因缘,识也是名色的因缘;名色是六入的因缘,六入是感受的因缘;感受是痛苦的因缘,痛苦是爱的因缘;爱是接受的因缘,接受是存在的因缘;存在是出生的因缘,出生是衰老和死亡的因缘。忧愁、哭泣、痛苦、不如意的悲伤,都是由此产生的。这样看来,一切痛苦都是从五蕴(Skandha,色、受、想、行、识五种聚合)的习性中产生的。’ ‘比丘!你应该自己思考:‘如何才能没有衰老和死亡?又如何才能让衰老和死亡完全灭尽?’比丘!你应该追溯根源进行思考,就会明白:‘没有出生,也就没有衰老和死亡。’

English version: ‘Because of love, pain and pleasure are interconnected, and love arises again.’ ‘Bhikkhus (Buddhist monks)! You should contemplate thus: ‘How does pain and pleasure arise? And what is the cause and condition for pain and pleasure to arise again?’ Bhikkhus! You should contemplate by tracing back to the origin, and you will understand: ‘Because of feeling (contact), pain and pleasure arise, and it is also because of the condition of feeling that pain and pleasure arise again.’ ‘Bhikkhus! You should contemplate thus: ‘How does feeling (contact) arise? And what is the cause and condition for feeling to arise again?’ Bhikkhus! You should contemplate by tracing back to the origin, and you will naturally understand: ‘Because of the six sense bases (Salayatana, the six sense organs: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind), feeling arises, and it is also because of the condition of the six sense bases that feeling arises again.’ ‘Bhikkhus! You should contemplate thus: ‘How do the six sense bases arise? And what is the cause and condition for the six sense bases to arise again?’ Bhikkhus! You should contemplate by tracing back to the origin, and you will understand: ‘Because of name and form (Namarupa, mental and physical phenomena), the six sense bases arise, and it is also because of the condition of name and form that the six sense bases arise again.’ ‘Bhikkhus! You should contemplate thus: ‘How does name and form arise? And what is the cause and condition for name and form to arise again?’ Bhikkhus! You should contemplate by tracing back to the origin, and you will understand: ‘Because of consciousness (Vijnana), name and form arise, and it is also because of the condition of consciousness that name and form arise again.’ ‘Bhikkhus! You should contemplate thus: ‘How does consciousness arise? And what is the cause and condition for consciousness to arise again?’ Bhikkhus! You should contemplate by tracing back to the origin, and you will understand: ‘Because of name and form, consciousness arises, and it is also because of the condition of name and form that consciousness arises again.’ ‘Bhikkhus! You should contemplate, and this thought will arise: ‘What is this so-called consciousness? Does it not return to its previous state? Name and form are the condition for consciousness, and consciousness is also the condition for name and form; name and form are the condition for the six sense bases, and the six sense bases are the condition for feeling; feeling is the condition for pain, and pain is the condition for love; love is the condition for acceptance, and acceptance is the condition for existence; existence is the condition for birth, and birth is the condition for aging and death. Sorrow, weeping, pain, and unpleasant grief arise from this. Thus, all suffering arises from the habits of the five aggregates (Skandha, the five aggregates: form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness).’ ‘Bhikkhus! You should contemplate for yourselves: ‘How can there be no aging and death? And how can aging and death be completely extinguished?’ Bhikkhus! You should contemplate by tracing back to the origin, and you will understand: ‘Without birth, there is no aging and death.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ,生尽,老死亦尽。’
