English version The Sutra on the Afflictions Caused by Desires Translated by Dharmarakṣa, a Tripiṭaka Master from Yuezhi of the Western Jin Dynasty Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was wandering in the country of Śrāvastī, at the Jeta Grove Anāthapiṇḍika-ārāma, together with a large assembly of bhikṣus (monks), five hundred bhikṣus in all. At that time, the bhikṣus, in the morning, put on their robes and carried their bowls, and entered the city of Śrāvastī. Some Tirthikas (non-Buddhist ascetics) and adherents of different doctrines asked the bhikṣus: 'Śrāmaṇas (wandering ascetics)! For what reason does Gautama (the Buddha) experience suffering? What distinguishes the suffering of rūpa (form), vedanā (feeling), saṃjñā (perception), bhava (existence), and vijñāna (consciousness)? Regarding these dharmas (teachings, phenomena), what are their differences? What are their aspirations? What causes their arising? What does Śrāmaṇa Gautama teach in the present? What is the cause of enlightenment? What are his teachings and discourses?' When the bhikṣus heard the words of these Tirthikas, they were unable to answer. Therefore, they rose from their seats, left the place, and retreated, each thinking in their hearts: 'These questions should be asked of the Bhagavan (the Blessed One, the Buddha), seeking his instruction and explanation, which we should then follow.' At that time, the bhikṣus, having finished their alms-round and completed their meal, rearranged their robes and went to the place where the Buddha was. They bowed at his feet, retreated to one side, and sat down. They then reported to the Bhagavan, recounting all the difficult questions posed by the adherents of other paths, explaining them in order. At that time, the Bhagavan told the bhikṣus: 'If the Tirthikas ask you: 'Regarding the matter of kāma (sensual desire), what is its pleasure? What suffering does it cause? From where does it arise? And how does it cease?' You should answer in such a way that those Tirthikas are silenced and unable to respond with words.' The Buddha said: 'I do not see anyone who can understand this meaning, distinguishing its profound significance. Why is that? Because no one can reach that level; it is not their realm. The Buddha observes above and below, all the Māras (demons), Brahmās (gods), Brahmanas (priests), gods, and humans, who are able to raise this question, causing their minds to rejoice, loving what they enjoy, being defiled by desire, their ears hearing pleasant sounds, their noses smelling pleasant fragrances, their tongues tasting delicious flavors, their bodies feeling fine and smooth sensations, feeling agreeable and joyful, their minds focused on what they enjoy, being defiled by these things, their hearts craving.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 于法。是五所欲,从因缘起,心以为乐。”

佛告比丘:“何等为所欲之患?其有族姓子随其巧便,立生活业,多所想念。或以伎术,或作长吏,或作画师,或行算术,或复刻镂,或以涂度,或说色事;或以寒冻、或逢暑热饥渴饿死;或触风雨,或遭蚊虻,诸根变乱。趣此诸事,身欲自在,求于财宝,坐起放心,恣意坐于财宝,啼哭愁忧,椎胸郁怫。吾谓是辈,则为痴冥,致无果实,犹是精勤,不离其业,造立屋宅,及诸财贿,以获财宝。设不能获,起无央数忧恼诸患,歌舞将御,得无县官、水、火、盗贼、怨家债主所见夺取,烧没搪揬劫害侵暴,坏乱家居,亡失财宝。彼族姓子心怀此忧,卒值水、火、盗贼、怨家,所见侵夺,愁忧啼哭,不能自胜:‘吾前治生积聚财业,今者霍空,无所依仰。’是为情欲之忧患也。缘欲致爱,放心恣意,致此恼恨。” 佛告诸比丘:“复次,因欲贪爱,所在放心恣意,父说子恶,子说父恶,母说女恶,女说母恶,兄说弟恶,弟说兄恶,姊说妹恶,妹说姊恶。家室宗族,转相诽谤。是为贪欲之患,因致勤苦,皆由多求,放心恣意,为欲所溺。” 佛告诸比丘:“复次,爱欲之患着爱为本,放心恣意,因贪利故,把持兵仗、引弓捻箭,入军战斗,兴四部兵象马车步, 现代汉语译本:对于法,这五种欲望,从因缘生起,心以此为乐。 佛陀告诉比丘们:‘什么是欲望的祸患呢?那些良家子弟,随着自己的技能,建立生活事业,心中多有思虑。或者凭借技艺,或者担任官吏,或者做画师,或者进行算术,或者从事雕刻,或者从事涂饰,或者谈论美色;或者因为寒冷、或者遭遇暑热饥渴而死;或者遭受风雨,或者遭遇蚊虫叮咬,诸根错乱。追求这些事情,身体想要自在,为了求取财宝,坐卧起立都放纵自己的心意,恣意享受财宝,(一旦失去)就啼哭忧愁,捶胸顿足。我认为这些人,就是愚痴昏昧,导致没有果实,即使是精勤努力,也不离开他的行业,建造房屋住宅,以及各种财物,以获取财宝。如果不能获得,就会产生无数的忧愁烦恼,歌舞宴乐,担心官府、水灾、火灾、盗贼、怨家债主前来夺取,烧毁淹没,抢劫侵害,破坏家庭,丧失财宝。’那些良家子弟心中怀着这些忧虑,突然遭遇水灾、火灾、盗贼、怨家,被他们侵夺,愁苦忧伤啼哭,不能控制自己:‘我以前经营生计积聚财物,现在一下子空了,没有可以依靠的。’这就是情欲的忧患啊。因为欲望而产生贪爱,放纵自己的心意,导致这些恼恨。’ 佛陀告诉各位比丘:‘再次,因为欲望贪爱,在任何地方都放纵自己的心意,父亲说儿子的坏话,儿子说父亲的坏话,母亲说女儿的坏话,女儿说母亲的坏话,哥哥说弟弟的坏话,弟弟说哥哥的坏话,姐姐说妹妹的坏话,妹妹说姐姐的坏话。家庭宗族,互相诽谤。这就是贪欲的祸患,因此导致勤劳辛苦,都是因为贪求过多,放纵自己的心意,被欲望所淹没。’ 佛陀告诉各位比丘:‘再次,爱欲的祸患以执着爱恋为根本,放纵自己的心意,因为贪图利益的缘故,拿着兵器,拉弓搭箭,进入军队战斗,发动四种军队,包括象兵、马兵、车兵、步兵,

English version: Regarding the Dharma, these five desires arise from conditions, and the mind takes pleasure in them. The Buddha told the Bhikkhus (monks): 'What are the afflictions of desires? Those sons of good families, according to their skills, establish livelihoods and businesses, with many thoughts in their minds. Some rely on skills, some serve as officials, some become painters, some engage in arithmetic, some carve, some paint, some talk about beautiful things; some die from cold, heat, hunger, or thirst; some suffer from wind and rain, or encounter mosquitoes and gnats, and their senses are disturbed. Pursuing these things, the body desires freedom, seeking wealth and treasures, sitting, standing, and lying down, they indulge their minds, freely enjoying their wealth. (Once lost) they weep and grieve, beat their chests and feel depressed. I say that these people are foolish and ignorant, leading to no fruit, even if they are diligent, they do not leave their occupations, building houses and dwellings, and various possessions, to obtain wealth. If they cannot obtain it, they will generate countless worries and afflictions, singing and dancing, fearing that officials, floods, fires, thieves, enemies, and creditors will come to seize them, burn and submerge them, rob and harm them, destroy their homes, and lose their wealth.' Those sons of good families, harboring these worries in their hearts, suddenly encounter floods, fires, thieves, and enemies, and are invaded and plundered by them, grieving and weeping, unable to control themselves: 'I used to manage my livelihood and accumulate wealth, but now it is all empty, and I have nothing to rely on.' This is the affliction of sensual desire. Because of desire, love arises, indulging one's mind, leading to these resentments.' The Buddha told the Bhikkhus: 'Furthermore, because of desire and greed, indulging one's mind everywhere, fathers speak ill of their sons, sons speak ill of their fathers, mothers speak ill of their daughters, daughters speak ill of their mothers, brothers speak ill of their younger brothers, younger brothers speak ill of their older brothers, older sisters speak ill of their younger sisters, younger sisters speak ill of their older sisters. Families and clans slander each other. This is the affliction of greed, leading to diligence and hardship, all because of excessive seeking, indulging one's mind, and being drowned by desire.' The Buddha told the Bhikkhus: 'Furthermore, the affliction of love and desire has its root in attachment to love, indulging one's mind, and because of greed for profit, holding weapons, drawing bows and nocking arrows, entering into military battles, mobilizing four types of troops, including elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry troops,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
