13.71

佛告阿難：「七識住，二入處，諸有沙門、婆羅門言：『此處安隱，為救、為護、為舍、為燈、為明、為歸，為不虛妄，為不煩惱。』云何為七？或有眾生，若干種身若干種想，天及人，此是初識住處。諸沙門、婆羅門言：『此處安隱，為救、為護、為舍、為燈、為明、為歸，為不虛妄，為不煩惱。』阿難！若比丘知初識住，知集、知滅、知味、知過、知出要，如實知者。阿難！彼比丘言：『彼非我，我非彼，如實知見。』或有眾生，若干種身而一想，梵光音天是；或有眾生，一身若干種想，光音天是；或有眾生一身一想，遍淨天是；或有眾生，住空處；或有眾生，住識處；或有眾生，住不用處，是為七識住處。或有沙門、婆羅門言：『此處安隱，為救、為護、為舍、為燈、為明、為歸，為不虛妄，為不煩惱。』阿難！若比丘知七識住，知集、知滅、知味、知過、知出要，如實知見，彼比丘言：『彼非我，我非彼，如實知見。』是為七識住。

The Buddha told Ānanda, “There are seven abodes of consciousness and two spheres. Ascetics and priests say, ‘These abodes are peaceful, saving, protecting, sheltering, lamps, lights, refuges, not false, and not afflicting.’ What are the seven?

“Some sentient beings have diverse bodies and diverse notions. These gods and humans are the first abode of consciousness. Ascetics and priests say, ‘This abode is peaceful, saving, protecting, sheltering, a lamp, a light, a refuge, not false, and not afflicting.’

“Ānanda, suppose that a monk knows the first abode of consciousness and knows its formation, cessation, enjoyment, trouble, and escape. Truly knowing it, Ānanda, that monk would say, ‘Truly knowing and seeing it, that’s not self, and the self isn’t that.’

“Some sentient beings have diverse bodies but the same notions. They are Brahmas of the Ābhāsvara Heaven … Some sentient beings have the same body but diverse notions. They are in the Ābhāsvara Heaven … Some sentient beings have the same body and the same notions. They are in the Śubhakṛtsnā Heaven … Some sentient beings reside in the abode of space … Some sentient beings reside in the abode of consciousness … Some sentient beings reside in the abode of nothingness. This is the seventh abode of consciousness. Some ascetics and priests say, ‘This abode is peaceful, saving, protecting, sheltering, a lamp, a light, a refuge, not false, and not afflicting.’

“Ānanda, suppose that a monk knows the seventh abode of consciousness and knows its formation, cessation, enjoyment, trouble, and escape. Truly knowing it, Ānanda, that monk would say, ‘Truly knowing and seeing it, that’s not self, and the self isn’t that.’ These are the seven abodes of consciousness.
