大緣經 (2) 緣起甚深



長部經典第十五 Mahānidānasutta 大緣經 (DN 15)


 第二篇  緣起甚深

“acchariyaṃ, bhante, abbhutaṃ, bhante! Yāva gambhīro cāyaṃ, bhante, paṭiccasamuppādo gambhīrāvabhāso ca, atha ca pana me uttānakuttānako viya khāyatī”ti.


「世尊!希有哉!不可思議哉!此緣起法甚深遠,有深遠相。但如我等觀察,卻甚明顯。」


"It's amazing, lord, it's astounding, how deep this dependent co-arising is, and how deep its appearance, and yet to me it seems as clear as clear can be."


“Mā hevaṃ, ānanda, avaca, mā hevaṃ, ānanda, avaca.

「阿難!勿作如是言,阿難!勿作如是言。

[The Buddha:] "Don't say that, Ananda. Don't say that.


Gambhīro cāyaṃ, ānanda, paṭiccasamuppādo gambhīrāvabhāso ca.

阿難!此緣起法甚深遠,有深遠相。

Deep is this dependent co-arising, and deep its appearance.
