The Teaching on the Body

關於身體的教導

22.1Then the Bhagavān said to the youth Candraprabha, “Therefore, young man, bodhisattva mahāsattvas who wish for this samādhi, and wish to attain quickly the highest, complete enlightenment of perfect buddhahood, should have no attachment to their life or body. Why is that? Because, young man, beings accomplish bad actions due to attachment to their lives and bodies.

22.1於是薄伽梵對月光青年說：「所以，年輕人，菩薩摩訶薩如果希望證得這個三摩地，並且希望迅速證得無上正等正覺的佛果，就應該對自己的生命和身體沒有執著。為什麼呢？因為，年輕人，眾生正是由於對自己的生命和身體的執著才造作惡業。

22.2“Young man, bodhisattva mahāsattvas who have no attachment to their life and body will not even find it difficult to attain the highest, complete enlightenment of perfect buddhahood, not to mention this samādhi. Therefore, young man, have no attachment to your life and body. That is how you should practice.”

22.2「少年，菩薩摩訶薩若對生命與身體無執著，甚至不會覺得難以證得無上正等菩提的佛果，更不用說三摩地了。因此，少年，你應當對生命與身體無執著。這就是你應當修習的方式。」
