The Dhammapada is an early Buddhist core scripture included in the Khuddaka Nikāya of the Pāli Canon. It was compiled collectively by numerous disciples of the Buddha, with its content originating from the teachings given by the Buddha during his lifetime. Composed around the 3rd century BCE, it has an extremely ancient history. The entire text assembles the essence of the Buddha's teachings in verse form, divided into twenty-six chapters such as the "Pairs," "The Fool," and "The Mind," comprising a total of four hundred and twenty-three verses. Its core themes revolve around cause and effect, karma, the cultivation of morality, concentration, and wisdom, ethical practice, and spiritual awakening. Its language is concise yet profound, pointing directly to the mind. Held in high esteem within Buddhism, it is honored as the comprehensive anthology of Buddhist poetry and serves as the most direct guide for entering the Dharma. As an important text in the Theravāda tradition, it has profoundly influenced the spread of Buddhist thought in later generations.


法句經

Dhammapada

歸命彼世尊 應供等覺者

I take refuge in the Blessed One, the Worthy One, the Fully Enlightened One.

一 雙品

**Chapter One: The Twin Verses**

一

One

諸法意為導,意主意造作。人若染穢意,或語或〔身〕行,苦事則隨彼,如輪隨獸足。

All phenomena are preceded by the mind, Led by the mind, created by the mind. If one speaks or acts with a corrupted mind, Suffering follows them, Like the wheel follows the ox's hoof.

二
諸法意為導,意主意造作。人若清淨意、或語或〔身〕行,樂事則隨彼,如影之隨形。

All phenomena are preceded by the mind, governed by the mind, and created by the mind. If one speaks or acts with a purified mind, happiness follows them like an inseparable shadow.

三
「彼罵我擲我,敗我奪取我」,於懷如此念,忿怨事不息。
四
「彼罵我擲我,敗我奪取我」,不懷如是念,忿怨終自息。
五
實於此世中,非以怨止怨,唯以〔忍〕止怨,此為古常法。
六
彼人不曉悟:「我等終毀滅」。惟有此悟者,彼諍自然息。
七
唯求享樂事,不攝護諸根,飲食無限度,怠惰不精勤,彼實為魔服,如風吹弱樹。
八
不求享樂事,善護攝諸根,飲食有限度,信念又精勤,魔王不勝彼,如風吹巖山。
九
雖為纏袈裟,不脫垢濁者,無真實克己,不應纏袈裟。
一〇
離棄諸垢濁,善住於戒律,真實以克己,彼應纏袈裟。
一一
非真思為真,真實為非真,住於邪思惟,則不達真實。
一二
於真知為真,非真知非真,住於正思惟,能達於真實。
一三
粗茸劣家屋,必受雨漏浸,如此不修心,貪欲則浸入。
一四
善茸精家屋,不受雨漏浸,如此善修心,貪欲不浸入。
一五
現世於此悲,死後他世悲,造諸惡業者,兩世皆憂悲。見自穢業已,彼悲彼苦惱。
一六
現世於此喜,死後他世歡,造諸善業者,兩世皆歡喜。見自淨業已,彼樂彼歡喜。
一七
現世於此苦,死後他世苦,造諸惡業者,兩世皆受苦。謂:「今悲我作惡,墮惡趣更苦。」
一八
現世於此喜,死後他世歡,造諸善業者,兩世皆歡喜。謂:「今造善業喜,往善趣更喜。」
一九
縱多誦經典,放逸不實行,如牧算他牛,不入真沙門。
二〇
雖誦經典少,舉止遵法行,具足正智識,棄滅貪瞋癡,善淨心解脫,捨離此世欲,此世或他世,入真沙門列。

二 不放逸品
