Chapter 8
如是我聞：
This is what I heard:
一時，佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。
Once, the Buddha was dwelling at the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in the city of Shravasti.
爾時，世尊告諸比丘：「過去、未來色無常，況現在色！聖弟子！如是觀者，不顧過去色，不欲未來色，於現在色厭、離欲、正向滅盡。如是，過去、未來受、想、行、識無常，況現在識！聖弟子！如是觀者，不顧過去識，不欣未來識，於現在識厭、離欲、正向滅盡。如無常，苦、空、非我亦復如是。」
At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the monks:
"Past and future form are impermanent—how much more so present form! Noble disciples, one who contemplates in this way does not cling to past form, does not crave future form, and toward present form feels disenchantment, becomes free from desire, and heads directly for its cessation.
"In the same way, past and future feeling, perception, formations, and consciousness are impermanent—how much more so present consciousness! Noble disciples, one who contemplates in this way does not cling to past consciousness, does not delight in future consciousness, and toward present consciousness feels disenchantment, becomes free from desire, and heads directly for its cessation.
"As with impermanence, so too with suffering, emptiness, and not-self."
時，諸比丘聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。
Then, the monks heard the Buddha's teaching, and with joy they undertook to practice it.
