「復有五法,謂滅盡枝:一者比丘信佛、如來、至真、等正覺,十號具足。二者比丘無病,身常安隱。三者質直無有諛諂,能如是者,如來則示涅槃徑路。四者自專其心,使不錯亂,昔所諷誦,憶持不忘。五者善於觀察法之起滅,以賢聖行,盡於苦本。復有五法,謂五發:非時發、虛發、非義發、虛言發、無慈發。復有五法,謂五善發:時發、實發、義發、和言發、慈心發。復有五法,謂五憎嫉:住處憎嫉、檀越憎嫉、利養憎嫉、色憎嫉、法憎嫉。
“There are another five things, which are the five factors of complete cessation: First, a monk believes in the Buddha, Tathāgata, Arhat, and Completely Awakened One who perfected the ten epithets. Second, he lacks illness and is physically healthy. Third, he is honest, lacks any deception, and heads down the Tathāgata’s clear path to nirvāṇa. Fourth, he focuses his mind so that he’s not confused, retains the recitations, and doesn’t forget them. Fifth, he is skilled in observing the arising and perishing of things and ends the root of suffering with the noble practice.
