Ekottaragama (Sanskrit fragments) 12.1.18

12.1.18

「云何比丘觀心心法而自娛樂？於是，比丘有愛欲心，便自覺知有愛欲心；無愛欲心，亦自覺知無愛欲心。有瞋恚心，便自覺知有瞋恚心；無瞋恚心，亦自覺知無瞋恚心。有愚癡心，便自覺知有愚癡心；無愚癡心，便自覺知無愚癡心。有愛念心，便自覺知有愛念心；無愛念心，便自覺知無愛念心。有受入心，便自覺知有受入心；無受入心，便自覺知無受入心。有亂念心，便自覺知有亂心；無亂心，便自覺知無亂心。有散落心，亦自覺知有散落心；無散落心，便自覺知無散落心。有普遍心，便自覺知有普遍心；無普遍心，便自覺知無普遍心。有大心，便自覺知有大心；無大心，便自覺知無大心。有無量心，便自覺知有無量心；無無量心，便自覺知無無量心。有三昧心，便自覺知有三昧心；無三昧心，便自覺知無三昧心。未解脫心，便自覺知未解脫心；已解脫心，便自覺知已解脫心。如是，比丘心相觀意止。

“How does a monk contemplate mind as mind? Here, a monk has a craving mind, and he realizes, ‘I have a craving mind.’ His mind is without craving, and he also realizes, ‘My mind is without craving.’ He has a hateful mind, and he realizes, ‘I have a hateful mind.’ His mind is without hate, and he also realizes, ‘My mind is without hate.’ He has a deluded mind, and he realizes, ‘I have a deluded mind.’ His mind is without delusion, and he also realizes, ‘My mind is without delusion.’

“He has a mind with craving thoughts, and he realizes, ‘I have a mind with craving thoughts.’ His mind has no craving thoughts, and he realizes, ‘My mind has no craving thoughts.’ His mind has collected senses, and he realizes, ‘My mind has collected senses.’ His mind is without collected senses, and he realizes, ‘My mind is without collected senses.’ His mind has confused thoughts, and he realizes, ‘My mind has confused thoughts.’ His mind is without confusion, and he realizes, ‘My mind is without confusion.’ He has a scattered mind, and he also realizes, ‘I have a scattered mind.’ He has an unscattered mind, and he realizes, ‘I have an unscattered mind.’

“He has a pervasive mind, and he realizes, ‘I have a pervasive mind.’ His mind isn’t pervasive, and he realizes, ‘My mind isn’t pervasive.’ He has a great mind, and he realizes, ‘I have a great mind.’ His mind isn’t great, and he realizes, ‘My mind isn’t great.’ He has a measureless mind, and he realizes, ‘I have a measureless mind.’ His mind isn’t measureless, and he realizes, ‘My mind isn’t measureless.’ His mind is in samādhi, and he realizes, ‘My mind is in samādhi.’ His mind isn’t in samādhi, and he realizes, ‘My mind isn’t in samādhi.’ His mind has yet to be liberated, and he realizes, ‘My mind has yet to be liberated.’ His mind is liberated, and he realizes, ‘My mind is liberated.’ A monk contemplates mind as mind as an abode of mindfulness in this way.
