　　Having heard the Dhamma, we know that birth is suffering, aging is suffering, death is suffering, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, and despair are suffering, association with things disliked is suffering, separation from the desirable is suffering, not getting the desired is suffering, in short, the five aggregates are suffering, namely:

　　Form as a clinging-aggregate, feeling as a clinging-aggregate, perception as a clinging-aggregate, mental processes as a clinging-aggregate, consciousness as a clinging-aggregate. so that they might fully understand this, the Blessed One, while living, often instructed his listeners in this way; many times did he emphasize this part of his admonition:

　　"Form is impermanent, feeling is impermanent, perception is impermanent, mental processes are impermanent, consciousness is impermanent;

　　form is not-self, feeling is not-self, perception is not-self, mental processes are not-self, consciousness is not-self;

　　All formation are impermanent, all phenomena are not-self."

　　All of us, beset by birth, aging, and death, by sorrows, lamentations, pains, distresses, and despairs, beset by suffering, overcome with suffering, (consider), "O, that the end of this entire mass of suffering and stress might be known!"

　　我们已聆听了此法，故知:

　　生是苦；衰老是苦；死是苦；忧、悲、苦恼与失望是苦，

　　怨憎相会是苦；爱别离是苦；求不得是苦，

　　简言之：五执取蕴是苦，它们如下：

　　色执取蕴；受执取蕴；想执取蕴；行执取蕴；识执取蕴；

　　为使追随者肯定通晓这五蕴，世尊住世时，常如是教诲追随者，于追随者间，

　　世尊常对他们如是教诲，提醒与强调:

　　色是无常，受是无常，想是无常，行是无常，识是无常，

　　色是无我，受是无我，想是无我，行是无我，识是无我，

　　一切因缘法无常，一切法无我。

　　我们全体，为生老病死、忧悲苦恼失望之所支配困扰着，

　　为苦所困，为苦所障，怎么做才能知悉此苦聚之完全止息?

　　Five Subjects for Frequent Recollection 五法应常思维

　　(1) Jarā dhammomhi jaram anatīto (female:  anatīta)

　　(2) Byādhi dhammomhi byadhim anatīto (female:  anatīta)

　　(3) Marana dhammomhi maranam anatīto (female:  anatīta)

　　(4) Sabbehi me piyehi manāpehi nānā bhāvo vinā bhāvo

　　(5) Kammassakomhi kammadāyādo (female:  kammadāyāda), Kammayoni, kamma bandhu, kamma patisarano (female:  patisaranā), yam kammam karissami kalyanam vā pāpakam vā tassa dāyādo (female:  dāyādā) bhavissami. Evam amhehi abhinham paccavekkhitabbam

　　I am subject to aging. Aging is unavoidable.

　　I am subject to illness. Illness is unavoidable.

　　I am subject to death. Death is unavoidable.

　　I will grow different, separate from all that is dear and appealing to me.

　　I am the owner of my actions, heir to my actions, born of my actions, related through my actions, and live dependent on my actions.

　　Whatever I do, for good or for evil, to that I am responsible.

　　We should often reflect on this.

　　(1)衰老是自然的法则，我们不能超越衰老，

　　(2)病苦是自然的法则，我们不能超越病苦，

　　(3)死亡是自然的法则，我们不能超越死亡，

　　(4)我们所拥有的一切，不论是喜欢或珍惜的，最后将会与我们背离或分散的。

　　(5)我们是业的主人，是自己业的继承人，由自己的业而生，是自己业的亲族，依自己的业的支撑而活，不论我们造何种业，善的或恶的，我们必将去承担，这是肯定的，我们应当天天如此地思维及反省。

　　Comtemplation of the Dependent Origination因缘和合法之审查

　　Sabbe sankhārā aniccā, sabbe sankhārā dukkhā, sabbe dhammā anatta.

　　Adhuvan jīvitam, dhuvam maranam.

　　Avassam mayā maritabbam, marana pariyosānam me jīvitam

　　Jīvitam me aniyatam, maranam me niyatam.

　　Vata, ayam kayo aciram, apetaviññāno chuddo, adhisessati pathavim, kalingaram iva nirattham.

　　Aniccā vata sankhārā, uppādava ya dhammino, uppajjitvā nirujjhanti, tesam upasamo sukho.

　　All formation is impermanent, all formation is suffering, all Dhamma are no-self.

　　Life is not permanent, death is indeed permanent.

　　We will die surely, all life end in death.

　　Our life is impermanent, we could not maintain it unchangeable, our death is indeed unchangeable.

　　Surely this body cannot be maintained  for long, once it is devoid of consciousness, it is discarded like a piece of useless rotten log.

　　All formation is impermanent, once it appears, it will disappear, when the formation is ceased totally, then Nibbana is indeed the supreme bliss.

　　一切因缘和合法无常，

　　一切因缘和合法是苦，

　　一切法无我。

　　生命不是不变的，

　　死亡才是不变的。

　　我们将会死，那是肯定的，

　　生命的结局即是死亡。

　　我们的生命是无常的，

　　不能保持不变的，

　　我们的死亡才是不变的。

　　实在的啊 ! 这个身体，

　　不能长久维持下去的，

　　一旦没有了识，即被抛弃了，

　　将埋在泥堆下，就像朽木一般，没有任何的用处了。

　　一切因缘和合法无常，生起了

　　必将灭去，有了也会消失的。

　　当一切的“行”完全止息，

　　寂灭才是最快乐的。

　　The Guardian Meditations 四护卫禅

　　Buddhānussati mettāca asubham maranassati,

　　Iccimā caturā rakkhā kātabbāca vipassanā.

　　Visuddha-dhamma-santāno anuttarāya bodhiyā Yogato ca pabodhā ca Buddho Buddho'ti ñāyate.

　　Narānara tiracchāna bhedā sattā sukhesino,

　　Sabbe pi sukhino hontu sukhitattā ca khemino.

　　Kesa lomādi chavānam ayam'eva samussayo,

　　Kāyo sabbo pi jeguccho Vannādito patikkulo.

　　Jiivit'indriy'upaccheda sankhāta maranam siyā,

　　Sabbesam pīdha pānīnam Tañhi dhuvam na jīvitam.

　　These four meditations— recollection of the Buddha, loving-kindness, the foulness of the body, and mindfulness of death— are guardians and means of insight that should be cultivated.

　　(1) The Buddha is unfailingly pure. Because of his unexcelled awakening, and because he trains others to awaken, he is known as the awakened/Awakening One.

　　(2) All living beings — human, non-human, and animal — who are searching for happiness: May they all be happy and, through their happiness, secure.

　　(3) This conglomeration of things from dead bodies, like hair of the head and hair of the body: The body as a whole is disgusting and, in terms of such things as its colors, unclean.

　　(4) Death, the destruction of the faculty of life, will come to all beings. Death is certain, but life is not.

　　此四护卫禅，随念於佛陀，随念於慈愛，随念於不淨，随念於死亡，行者之护卫，应常观修之。

　　(1) 佛陀无有诸污垢，自证无上正等觉，善巧开导于众生，自悟悟他证菩提。

　　(2) 一切众生、人、非人、畜生等皆要快乐，愿他们都得安乐，并得最大的幸福。

　　(3) 死屍的各个部位，如头发和体毛等，身内不净臭无比，不同形、色皆不淨。

　　(4) 死亡毁灭众生命，凡是出生下来的，未来必将会死去。生命不是永恒的，死亡才是永恒的。

　　Recollection on the thirty-two parts of the body 三十二身分

　　Imameva kāyam, uddham pādatalā, adho kesamatthakā, tacapariyantam, pūrannānappakārassa asucino, atthi imasmim kāye: kesā, lomā, nakhā, dantā, taco, mamsam, nahārū, atthī, atthiminjam, vakkam, yakanam, kilomakam, pihakam, papphāsam, antam, antagunam, udariyam, karīsam, pittam, semham, pubbo, lohitam, sedo, medo, assu, vasā, khelo, singhānika, lasikā, muttam. Imameva kāyam, uddham pādatalā, adho kesamatthakā, tacapariyantam, pūrannānappakārassa asucino.

　　In this very body, from the soles of the feet up, from the crown of the head down, surrounded by skin, full of these various mean impurities, these are in this body: hair of the head, hair of the body, nails, teeth, skin, flesh, sinews, bones, bone marrow, kidneys, heart, liver, membranes, spleen, lungs, large gut, small gut, gorge, dung, bile, phlegm, pus, blood, sweat, fat, tears, skin grease, spittle, snot, oil of the joints, urine. In this very body, from the soles of the feet up,  from the crown of the head down, surrounded by skin, full of these various mean impurities. (DN 2)

　　这个身体，从脚跟上，从头顶下，為皮所包，充滿不淨，这身体有：发、毛、爪、齿、皮、肉、腱、骨、骨髓、肾脏、心脏、肝脏、肋膜、脾脏、肺脏、大肠、小肠、胃中物、粪、脑。胆汁、痰、脓、血、汗、脂、泪、膏、唾、涕、关节滑液、尿。这个身体，从脚跟上，从头顶下，為皮所包，充滿不淨。(长部2)

　　Life ends in death 生命归结於死亡

　　Passa cittakatam bimbam, arukāyam samussitam,

　　Aturam bahusankappam, yassa n’atthi dhuvam thiti.

　　Parijinnam idam rūpam, roganiddham pabhanguram,

　　Bhijjati putisandeho, maranantam hi jīvitam.

　　Yān imāni apatthāni, alāpūneva sārade,

　　Kāpotakāni atthīni, tāni disvāna kā rati.

　　Atthīnam nagaram katam, mamsalohitalepanam,

　　Yattha jarā ca maccū ca, māno makkho ca ohito.

　　Seeing this beautiful body, a mass of sores, a congeries,

　　Much considered but miserable, where nothing is stable, nothing persists.

　　All decrepit is this body, diseases’ nest and frail,

　　This foul mass is broken up, for life does end in death.

　　These dove-hued bones scattered in fall,

　　Like long white gourds, what joy in seeing them?

　　This city’s made of bones, plastered with flesh and blood,

　　Within are stored decay and death, besmearing and conceit. (Dhp 147-150)

　　观此粉饰身，疮肉与骨聚，身病心妄想，无常不久存。

　　形劳衰老身，病巢易败坏，秽身必腐散，有生终归死。

　　如彼葫芦瓜，秋至而散弃，骸骨变灰白，观此有何乐？

　　骨架为城廓，血肉作涂饰，蕴藏老病死，憍慢与虚伪。(南传法句经147-150偈)

　　Paticcasamuppada Patha (Dependent Origination) 缘起法

Evametassa kevalassa dukkha kkhandhassa samudayo hoti.

　　Through ignorance as a requisite condition comes formation, through formations as a requisite condition comes consciousness, through consciousness as a requisite condition comes namarupa (name and form), through namarupa as a requisite condition come the six sense doors, through the six sense doors as a requisite condition comes contact, through contact as a requisite condition comes feeling, through feeling as a requisite condition comes craving, through craving as a requisite condition comes clinging, through clinging as a requisite condition comes becoming, through becoming as a requisite condition comes birth, from birth as a requisite condition, then aging and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, and despair come into being. Such is the origination of this entire mass of suffering.

　　无明缘行、行缘识、识缘名色、名色缘六入、六入缘触、触缘受、受缘爱、爱缘取、取缘有、有缘生、生缘于老、死、愁、悲、苦、忧、恼生起。如是起了这整堆苦。

Evametassa kevalassa dukkha kkhadassa nirodho hoti.

　　Through the extinction of ignorance comes the cessation of formations, through the extinction of formations comes the cessation of consciousness, through the extinction of consciousness comes the cessation of name and form, through the extinction of name and form comes the cessation of the six sense doors, through the extinction of the six sense doors comes the cessation of contact, through the extinction of contact comes the cessation of feeling, through the extinction of feeling comes the cessation of craving, through the extinction of craving comes the cessation of clinging, through the extinction of clinging comes the cessation of becoming, through the extinction of becoming comes the cessation of birth, through the extinction of birth, then aging and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, and despair all cease. Such is the cessation of this entire mass of suffering.

　　无明灭则行灭、行灭则识灭、识灭则名色灭、名色灭则六入灭、六入灭则触灭、触灭则受灭、受灭则爱灭、爱灭则取灭、取灭则有灭、有灭则生灭、生灭则老、死、愁、悲、苦、忧、恼灭,如是灭了整堆苦。

　　again and again we weary and we toil;

　　again and again the heedless come to birth;

　　贪欲放逸根，贪欲麻烦根，贪欲奴役人，未來生鬼道。究竟知贪欲，崇敬无贪者。

　　瞋恨动乱根，瞋恨生丑陋，瞋恨生破坏，未來生地狱，究竟知瞋恨，崇敬无瞋者。

　　愚痴众病根，愚痴起烦恼，愚痴生痴暗，未來生畜牲，究竟知愚痴，崇敬无痴者。

　　Cross over to the other shore 度到彼岸

　　Appakā te manussesu, ye janā pāragāmino, athāyam itarā pajā, tīramevānudhāvati.

　　Ye ca kho sammadakkhāte, dhamme dhammānuvattino, te janā pāramessanti, maccudheyyam suduttaram. (Dpd 85-85)

　　Among folk there are few, who go to the further shore,

　　Most among humanity, scurry on this shore.

　　But they who practice Dhamma, according to Dhamma well told,

　　From death dominion hard to leave, they’ll cross to the further shore.

　　于诸众人中，鲜有达彼岸，世间诸乡朋，此岸长徘徊。

　　法已予善说，应行于正法，超越诸欲界，达难登彼岸。(南传法句经85-86偈)

　　《杂阿含八六四经》(五阴如病)           大正大藏经

　　如是我闻：一时，佛住舍卫国祗树给孤独园。

　　尔时，世尊告诸比丘：若比丘若行、若形、若相，离欲恶不善法。有觉有观，离生喜乐，初禅具足住，彼不忆念如是行，如是形、如是相，然于彼色，受、想、行、识法，作如病，如痈、如刺、如杀、无常、苦、空，非我思惟。于彼法生厌，怖畏、防护、生厌、怖畏、防护已，以甘露门而自饶益，如是寂静，如是胜妙，所谓舍离，余爱尽、无欲、灭尽、涅槃。

　　佛说此经已，诸比丘闻佛所说，欢喜奉行!

　　《杂阿含六四经》(五阴无我)                大正大藏经

　　如是我闻:一时佛住舍卫国东园鹿子母讲堂。

　　尔时，世尊晡时从禅起，出讲堂，于堂阴中大众前，敷座而坐。尔时，世尊叹优陀那偈:

　　法无有吾我，     亦复无我所,    我既非当有，     我所何由生。

　　比丘解脱此，     则断下分结。

　　时，有一比丘从座起，偏袒右肩，右膝着地，合掌白佛言：世尊，云何无吾我？亦无有我所？我既非当有，我所何由生？比丘解脱此，则断下分结。

　　佛告比丘：愚痴无闻凡夫，计色是我，异我、相在，受、想、行、识是我，异我、相在。多闻圣弟子，不见色是我，异我、相在，不见受、想、行、识是我、异我、相在，亦非知者，亦非见者，此色是无常，受、想、行、识是无常。色是苦，受、想、行、识是苦。色是无我，受、想、行、识是无我。此色非当有，受、想、行、识非当有。此色坏有，受、想、行、识坏有，故非我、非我所，

　　我、我所，非当有，如是解脱者，则断五下分结。①

　　时，彼比丘白佛言：世尊，断五下分结已，云何漏尽无漏心解脱？慧解脱？现法自知作证具足住，我生已尽，梵行已立，所作已作，自知不受后有？

　　佛告比丘：愚痴凡夫，无闻众生，于无畏处而生恐畏，愚痴凡夫，无闻众生怖畏，无我无我所，二俱非当生。攀缘四识住，何等为四？谓色识住，色攀缘、色爱乐、增进广大生长，于受、想、行、识住、攀缘、爱乐，增进广大生长。比丘，识于此处，若来、若去、若住、若起、若灭，增进广大生长。若作是说，更有异法，识若来、若去、若住、若起、若灭、若增进广大生长者，但有言说，闻已不知，增益生痴，以非境界故，所以者何？比丘，离色界贪已，于色意生缚亦断，于色意生缚断已，识攀缘亦断，识不复住，无复增进广大生长。受界、想、行界离贪已，于受、想、行、意生缚亦断。受、想、行、意生缚断已，攀缘亦断。识无所住，无复增进广大生长。识无所住故，不增长，不增长故，无所为作，无所为作故，则住，住故知足，知足故解脱，解脱故，于诸世间都无所取，无所取故无所著，无所著故自觉涅槃，我生已尽，梵行已立，所作已作，自知不受后有。比丘，我说识不住东方、南、西、北方、四维上下，除欲见法，涅槃灭尽，寂静清凉。

　　佛说此经已，诸比丘闻佛所说，欢喜奉行!

　　生灭以不乐，     及三种分别，     贪着等观察，     是名优陀那。

　　注:

　　① 五下分结,指身见,怀疑,戒禁取(断以证初果), 贪欲,瞋恚(断粗的以证二果),再消除细的贪欲,瞋恚(断以证三果)。五上分结指色爱, 无色爱,掉举恶作,我慢, 及无明(断以证四果)。

　　《毁灭以前经》(经集八颂经品第十章)          郭良鋆译

　　·具有什么看法，和什么德行，才能称为平静的人？我问你，乔达摩

　　啊！请说说这种最优秀的人。

　　·世尊说道：「在身体毁灭以前就已摆脱贪爱，不执着开头和结尾

　　，也不考虑中间，他不崇拜任何事物。」

　　·不愤怒、不恐惧、不吹嘘、不作恶、不骄傲、说话机智，这样的

　　牟尼确实控制了言语。

　　·不期望未来、不悲伤过去、无视诸触、不受任何观点引导。

　　·不执着、不欺骗、不贪婪、不妒忌、不鲁莽、不轻视他人、也不

　　毁谤他人。

　　·不贪恋享受, 不狂妄, 温文尔雅, 聪明睿智, 不轻信, 不厌弃他人。

　　·不为企求什么而学习、不为得不到什么而生气、不为贪爱而受阻

　　起执、也不贪恋美味。

　　·超然、有思想、不傲慢、不考虑自己在这世上等同于、优于或低

　　于别人。

　　·独立不羁、无.所依赖、理解万物、不贪恋存在或不存在。

　　·不追求爱欲、没有束缚、越过执着、我称这样的人为平静者。

　　·他没有儿子、牲畜、田地和财产，他既无所得，也无所弃。

　　·世俗之人以及沙门和婆罗门对他说的话，并非他所推崇，因此，

　　他无动于衷。

　　·不贪婪、不妒忌、不说自己等于、优于或低于别人，这样的牟尼

　　是摆脱劫波，不进入劫波。

　　·在这世上，没有属于自己的东西，不为消逝的东西悲伤，不陷入

　　万物，这样的人称为平静者。

　　Pamsukula Gāthā 粪扫衣偈

　　Aniccā vata sañkhāra uppādavaya dhammino uppajjitvā nirujjhanti tesam vūpasamo sukkho. Sabbe sattā maranti ca marimsu ca marissare tathevāham marrisāmi natthi me ettha samsayo.

　　All condition are impermanent, they are of the nature of arising and ceasing. All those which appear will disappear, pacify our attachment to those phenomena, eliminate our afflictions and bring peace. All beings die, they were like this in the past, in the future they will die too. Similarly I will also die, I have no doubt on this.

　　一切的缘皆是无常的，他们的本质是生与灭。凡是出现的，必定会消失的，对这些执着的心，使它平息下耒，然后灭除众烦恼，带来安乐。一切众生都会死，过去时死，将来也会死。同样的，我也必会死，对此我没有怀疑。

　　Dedication of Merits 功德回向偈

　　Puññassidāni katassa yānaññani katāni me tesañca bhāgino hontu, sattā nantāppamā naka, Ye piyā gunavantā ca, mayham mātā pitā dayo, ditthā me cāpiyaditthā vā aññe majihatta verino;

　　Sattā ti tthanti lokasmim, te bhumma catu yonikā pañceka catu vokārā samsarantā bhavābhave, Ňātam ye pattidānamme anumodantu te sayam ye cimam nappajānanti, devā tesam nivedayum. Maya dinnana puññanam, anumodana hetuna,

　　sabbe sattā sadā hontu averā sukha jīvino, Khema ppadañca pappontu tesāsā sijjhatam subhā.

　　May all beings —  without limit, without end, have a share in the merit just now made, and in whatever other merit I have made. Those who are dear and kind to me beginning with my mother and father whom I have seen or never seen; and others, neutral or hostile; beings established in the cosmos the three realms, the four modes of birth, with five, one, or four aggregates wandering on from realm to realm: If they know of my dedication of merit, may they themselves rejoice, and if they do not know, may the devas inform them. By reason of their rejoicing in my gift of merit, may all beings always live happily, free from animosity. May they attain the Serene State, and their radiant hopes be fulfilled.

　　愿我所作之功德，现在或是过去者，回向给于诸有情，无量无边无穷尽，

　　我所敬爱有德者，父亲母亲如斯等，能见或是不见者，中立或是敌对者，

　　世间一切的众生，三界四生诸有情，五蕴一蕴或四蕴，轮回大小世界中，

　　在此回向之功德，愿诸有情皆随喜，尚未知此回向者，惟愿天人代传报，

　　由此随喜所作因，及我回向之功德，愿诸有情常安乐，远离一切仇与怨，

　　愿诸众生获安乐，一切愿望皆成就。

　　Adāsimeadi Gathā 他为我付出偈

　　Adāsi me akāsi me ñātimittā sakhā ca me, petānam dakkhinam dajjā pubbe katamanussaram. Na hi runnam va soko vā yā vaññā paridevanā na tam petānamatthāya evam titthanti ñātayo ayañca kho dakkhinā dinnā sanghamhi supatitthitā digarattam hitāyassa thānaso upakappati. So ñati dhammo ca ayam nidassito, petāna pūjā ca katā ulara, balañca bhikkhūna manuppadinnam, tumhehi puññam pasutam anappakanti.
