Samyuktagama (Sanskrit fragments) 267.4

267.4

爾時，世尊告諸比丘：「眾生於無始生死，無明所蓋，愛結所繫，長夜輪迴生死，不知苦際。諸比丘！譬如狗繩繫著柱，結繫不斷故，順柱而轉，若住、若臥，不離於柱。如是凡愚眾生，於色不離貪欲、不離愛、不離念、不離渴、輪迴於色，隨色轉，若住、若臥，不離於色。如是受、想、行、識，隨受、想、行、識轉，若住、若臥不離於識。

It was then that the Buddha addressed the monks, “Sentient beings don’t know the extent of suffering who circulate through beginningless births and deaths while shrouded by ignorance and tied up by the bond of craving. Monks, take the example of a dog that’s tied to a post with a rope. Because it hasn’t broken that bond that ties it, the dog turns around the post. Whether it stands or lies down, it doesn’t leave the post. In this way, ordinary, foolish sentient beings circle form and turn around form while they aren’t free of greed, craving, thought, and thirst for form. Whether they stand or lie down, they don’t leave form. In this way, they turn around feeling … conception … volition … awareness. Whether they stand or lie down, they don’t leave awareness.
