時，摩訶拘絺羅問舍利弗言：「若比丘未得無間等法，欲求無間等法，云何方便求？思惟何等法？」

舍利弗言：「若比丘未得無間等法，欲求無間等法，精勤思惟：『五受陰為病、為癰、為刺、為殺、無常、苦、空、非我。』所以者何？是所應處故。若比丘於此五受陰精勤思惟，得須陀洹果證。」

> Śāriputra said: "If a bhikṣu has not yet attained the dharma of direct realization and wishes to seek the dharma of direct realization, he should diligently contemplate: 'The five grasping aggregates are a disease, a boil, a thorn, a slayer, anitya, duḥkha, śūnya, and anātman.'

> — English (machine translation) (machine translation)

> Śāriputra replied, “If a monk who has yet to attain direct realization wants to pursue direct realization, he diligently contemplates this: ‘The five acquired aggregates are like illnesses, abscesses, thorns, and killers. They are impermanent, painful, empty, and not self.’ Why is that? Because it’s appropriate for his situation. If a monk diligently contemplates these five acquired aggregates, he’ll realize the fruit of stream entry.”

> — English (machine translation) (machine translation)

> Mahākauṣṭhila also asked, “Śāriputra, suppose he wants to realize the fruit of once-returning after realizing the fruit of stream entry. What teaching should he contemplate?”

> Śāriputra said: "Koṭṭhita, having already realized the fruit of stream-entry, if one wishes to realize the fruit of once-returning, one should also diligently contemplate: 'These dharmas of the five grasping aggregates are a disease, a boil, a thorn, a slayer, anitya, duḥkha, śūnya, and anātman.' Why is that? Because this is the proper basis. If a bhikṣu diligently contemplates these five grasping aggregates, he realizes the fruit of once-returning."  
> — English (machine translation) (machine translation)

> Śāriputra replied, “Kauṣṭhila, someone who wants to realize the fruit of once-returning after realizing the fruit of stream entry should also diligently contemplate this, ‘The five acquired aggregates are like illnesses, abscesses, thorns, and killers.
