佛說八正道經
Sutra on the Eightfold Path
後漢安息國三藏安世高譯
Translation by An Shigao, Tripitaka Master from Parthia, Later Han Dynasty
聞如是：
Thus have I heard:
一時，佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。佛告諸弟子：「聽我說邪道亦說正道。何等為邪道？不諦見、不諦念、不諦語、不諦治、不諦求、不諦行、不諦意、不諦定。是為道八邪行。
Once, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, in the Garden of the Benefactor, near the city of Shravasti. The Buddha said to his disciples: "Listen, I will speak about the wrong path and also the right path. What is the wrong path? Wrong view, wrong intention, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, wrong concentration. These are the eight wrong practices."
「何等為道八正行？一者諦見。諦見為何等？信布施、信禮、信祠、信善惡行自然福、信父母、信天下道人、信求道、信諦行、信諦受。今世後世，自黠得證自成。便相告說是為諦見。
"What is the Eightfold Path? First, Right View. What is Right View? It is to believe in giving, to believe in reverence, to believe in offerings. To believe that good and bad actions naturally bring their own rewards. To believe in parents, to believe in spiritual practitioners in the world, To believe in seeking the truth, to believe in practicing rightly, to believe in receiving rightly. In this life and the next, through wisdom one attains realization and proves it for oneself. Teaching this to others—this is called Right View."
「第二諦念為何等？所意棄欲、棄家、不瞋恚怒、不相侵，是為諦念。
What is the second truth, right intention? It means letting go of desire, renouncing the household life, not harboring anger or resentment, and not harming others. This is called right intention.
「第三諦語為何等？不兩舌、不傳語、不惡罵、不妄語，是為諦語。
What is the third truthful speech? It is avoiding divisive speech, avoiding tale-bearing, avoiding harsh words, and avoiding lies—this is truthful speech.
「第四諦行為何等？不殺盜婬，是為諦行。
The fourth noble truth: what is the path of conduct? To refrain from killing, stealing, and sexual misconduct—this is the path of conduct.
「第五諦受為何等？是聞有道弟子法求，不可非法，飯食、床臥、病瘦正法求，不可非法，是為諦受。
"Fifth, what is the right livelihood? This refers to a disciple of the Buddha who seeks the Dharma and does not seek it through improper means. For food, clothing, shelter, and medicine in times of illness, one should seek them through proper means, not through improper means. This is called right livelihood.
「第六諦治為何等？生死意共合行，所精進行，出力因緣行，乃精進不厭意持，是為諦治。
What is the sixth truth practice? It is when thoughts of birth and death unite with action, and one puts forth diligent effort, exerting strength and relying on causes and conditions to act. Through such vigor, one maintains an unwavering mind without weariness. This is the truth practice.
「第七諦意為何等？生死行合意念、向意念，不妄不共意求，是名為諦意。
「第八諦定為何等？生死意合，念止、相止、護已止、聚止。不可為、不作所有罪，不墮中庭。是名為諦定。
「比丘！所有道弟子，當受是八種行諦道，如說行可得道八行覺。諦見者信布施，後世得具福，信禮者見沙門道人作禮福，信祠者懸繒燒香散花然燈，信所行十善是為自然得福，信父母者信孝順，信天下道人者喜受經，信求道者為行道。信諦行者斷惡意，信諦受者不犯戒。今世後世，自黠為得黠，能教人得證，自成者能成人。能成他人，便相告說，是名為諦見知。如是便自脫亦脫他人。
「第二諦念所意起者為失意，欲棄家者為念道，不瞋恚怒者為忍辱，不相侵者當正意。
「第三諦語者，不惡罵不犯口四過，但說至誠道品諦要。
「第四諦行者，不殺盜婬而行誠信。
「第五諦不墮貪者，但求一衣一食為賤醫。
「第六諦治者為向三十七品經。
「第七諦意者日增三十七品經，不離意。
「第八諦止者不忘因緣，止者常還意護，已止者一切無所犯，聚止者得福道。」
佛說如是。皆歡喜受。
