「諸比丘!如來說七正法,謂七非法:無信、無慙、無愧、少聞、懈怠、多忘、無智。復有七法,謂七正法:有信、有慚、有愧、多聞、精進、總持、多智。復有七法,謂七識住:或有眾生,若干種身,若干種想,天及人是,是初識住;或有眾生,若干種身而一想者,梵光音天最初生時是,是二識住;或有眾生,一身若干種想,光音天是,是三識住;或有眾生,一身一想,遍淨天是,是四識住;或有眾生,空處住、識處住、不用處住。

“Monks, the Tathāgata has taught seven correct things, which are seven things that aren’t Dharma: Lack of faith, lack of conscience, lack of modesty, little learning, negligence, forgetfulness, and lack of knowledge.

Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)

“There are another seven things, which are seven correct Dharmas: Having faith, having conscience, having modesty, being well-versed, making effort, good memory, and being knowledgeable.

Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)

“There are another seven things, which are seven abodes of consciousness: [1] Sometimes, sentient beings have either diverse bodies or diverse notions. These gods and humans are the first abode of consciousness. [2] Sometimes, sentient beings might have diverse bodies but the same notions. When the Brahmas of the Ābhāsvara Heaven are first born there, that’s the second abode of consciousness. [3] Sometimes, sentient beings have the same bodies but might have diverse notions. These Ābhāsvara gods are the third abode of consciousness. [4] Sometimes, sentient beings have the same bodies and the same notions. These Śubhakṛtsnā gods are the fourth abode of consciousness. [5] Sometimes, sentient beings dwell in the abode of space … [6] dwell in the abode of consciousness … [7] dwell in the abode of nothingness …
