衣資具

“And what are the effluents to be abandoned by using? There is the case where a bhikkhu, reflecting appropriately, uses robe-cloth simply to counteract cold, to counteract heat, to counteract the touch of flies, mosquitoes, wind, sun, and reptiles; simply for the purpose of covering the parts of the body that cause shame.

「那麼，透過使用而捨棄的煩惱[漏]有哪些呢？即：比丘如理省察，使用衣物僅僅是為了抵禦寒冷、炎熱，抵禦蚊蠅、風、陽光及爬蟲的侵擾；僅僅是為了遮蔽身體羞恥部位。

“Reflecting appropriately, he uses almsfood, not playfully, nor for intoxication, nor for putting on bulk, nor for beautification; but simply for the survival and continuance of this body, for ending its afflictions, for the support of the holy life, thinking, ‘Thus will I destroy old feelings (of hunger) and not create new feelings (from overeating). I will maintain myself, be blameless, and live in comfort.’

「如理省察，他受用施食：既非為了嬉戲，亦非為了沉醉、增肌或美化；而僅是為了維持此色身的存續、消除身體的苦痛，並以此支持梵行生活。思惟：『以此，我將消除舊有的受（飢餓感），而不引發新的受（因過量進食）；我將維持生命，保持無過失，並安適地生活。』

“Reflecting appropriately, he uses lodging simply to counteract cold, to counteract heat, to counteract the touch of flies, mosquitoes, wind, sun, and reptiles; simply for protection from the inclemencies of weather and for the enjoyment of seclusion.

「如理省察，他使用住處僅是為了抵禦寒暑，防避蚊蠅、風吹、日曬及爬蟲的侵擾；僅是為了抵禦惡劣天氣，並享受隱居獨處之樂。

“Reflecting appropriately, he uses medicinal requisites for curing the sick simply to counteract any pains of illness that have arisen and for maximum freedom from disease.

「如理省察，他使用醫藥資具來治療疾病，只是為了消除已生起的病痛，並力求最大限度地擺脫疾病。

“The effluents, vexation, or fever that would arise if he were not to use these things (in this way) do not arise for him when he uses them (in this way). These are called the effluents to be abandoned by using.”—MN 2

「若他不（以這種方式）使用這些事物而會生起漏、煩惱或狂熱，當他（以這種方式）使用它們時，便不會生起。這些被稱為『通過使用而捨棄的漏』。」——《中部》2經

“And how is a bhikkhu content? Just as a bird, wherever it goes, flies with its wings as its only burden, so too is he content with a set of robes to provide for his body and almsfood to provide for his hunger. Wherever he goes, he takes only his barest necessities along. This is how a bhikkhu is content.”—DN 2

「比丘如何知足呢？就像鳥兒無論飛往何處，唯一的負擔便是雙翼；同樣地，他以一套袈裟蔽體、以托缽所得之食充飢，便感到滿足。無論去往何處，他只攜帶最基本的生活必需品[資具]。這就是比丘如何知足。」——《長部》2經

“‘This Dhamma is for one who is content, not for one who is discontent.’ Thus was it said. With reference to what was it said? There is the case where a bhikkhu is content with any old robe-cloth at all, any old almsfood, any old lodging, any old medicinal requisites for curing the sick at all. ‘This Dhamma is for one who is content, not for one who is discontent.’ Thus was it said. And with reference to this was it said.”

「『此法是為知足者而設，非為不知足者而設。』這是如此所說的。這是針對什麼而說的呢？有此情況，比丘對於任何種類衣料、任何種類托缽所得之食、任何種類住所、任何種類治療疾病的醫藥資具，皆能知足。『此法是為知足者而設，非為不知足者而設。』這是如此所說的。這是針對如此而說的。」

“There is the case where a bhikkhu is content with any old robe-cloth… any old almsfood… any old lodging at all. He does not, for the sake of robe-cloth… almsfood… lodging, do anything unseemly or inappropriate. Not getting robe-cloth… almsfood… lodging, he is not agitated. Getting robe-cloth… almsfood… lodging, he uses it unattached to it, uninfatuated, guiltless, seeing the drawbacks (of attachment to it), and discerning the escape from them. He does not, on account of his contentment with any old robe-cloth… almsfood… lodging at all, exalt himself or disparage others. In this he is diligent, deft, alert, & mindful. This is said to be a bhikkhu standing firm in the ancient, original traditions of the noble ones.”

「有這樣一種情形，比丘對任何衣料…任何托缽所得的食物…任何住所都感到知足。他不會為了衣料…托缽食物…住所而做出任何不體面或不恰當的行為。若未得到衣料…托缽食物…住所，他不會心生煩惱；若得到了衣料…托缽食物…住所，他在受用時也不生執著或迷戀，而是清白無咎，既能洞見（因執著而產生的）過患，又能明辨解脫其之道。由於對任何舊的衣料、乞食所得的食物以及住所都感到滿足，他既不抬高自己，也不貶低他人。在這方面，他精進、善巧、警覺且保持正念。這就是所謂的堅定地恪守聖者們古老而原始傳統的比丘。」
