Saṃyuktāgama (352), Part One

(1) Original text:如是我闻。一时。佛住舍卫国祇树给孤独园。尔时。世尊告诸比丘。若诸沙门婆罗门。于法不如实知。法集法灭。法灭道迹不如实知。彼非沙门沙门数。非婆罗门婆罗门数。彼亦非沙门义。婆罗门义。见法自知作证。我生已尽。梵行已立。所作已作。自知不受后有。

Explanation: The World-Honored One told the bhikṣus: If śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas do not truly and realistically understand the Dharma, do not truly understand the arising and ceasing of the Dharma, and do not truly understand the path to be cultivated for the cessation of the Dharma, then they are not śramaṇas and are not counted among śramaṇas; they are not brāhmaṇas and are not counted among brāhmaṇas. Nor are they true śramaṇas or genuine brāhmaṇas; they have not seen the Dharma and known for themselves, realizing it through their own body: "Birth for me has been exhausted, the holy life has been established, what was to be done has been done, and I know for myself that there will be no further existence."

Original text:云何法不如实知。云何法集不如实知。云何法灭不如实知。云何法灭道迹不如实知。谓于老死法不如实知。老死集老死灭。老死灭道迹不如实知。如是生有。取爱受触。六入处不如实知。六入处集。六入处灭。六入处灭道迹不如实知。如是诸法不如实知。法集法灭。法灭道迹不如实知。

Explanation: What Dharma is not truly known? Of what Dharma is the arising not truly known? Of what Dharma is the ceasing not truly known? Of what is the path of cultivation for the cessation of the Dharma not truly known? It means not truly knowing the Dharma of aging-and-death, not truly knowing the arising and ceasing of aging-and-death, and not truly knowing the path of cultivation for the cessation of aging-and-death. Likewise, one does not truly know the Dharmas of birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, and the six sense bases (ṣaḍāyatana); one does not truly know the arising of the Dharmas of birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, and the six sense bases; one does not truly know the ceasing of the Dharmas of birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, and the six sense bases; and one does not truly know the path for the cessation of the Dharmas of birth, existence, grasping, craving, feeling, contact, and the six sense bases. In the same way, one does not truly know all dharmas, does not truly know the arising of all dharmas, does not truly know the ceasing of all dharmas, and does not truly know the path for the cessation of all dharmas.
