一時，佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。

At one time the Buddha was staying in Śrāvastī at Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍadārāma.

59.6

爾時，世尊告諸比丘：「有五受陰。云何為五？色受陰，受、想、行、識受陰。觀此五受陰，是生滅法。所謂此色、此色集、此色滅；此受、想、行、識，此識集、此識滅。云何色集？云何色滅？云何受、想、行、識集？云何受、想、行、識滅？愛喜集是色集，愛喜滅是色滅；觸集是受、想、行集，觸滅是受、想、行滅；名色集是識集，名色滅是識滅。比丘！如是色集、色滅，是為色集、色滅；如是受、想、行、識集，受、想、行、識滅，是為受、想、行、識集，受、想、行、識滅。」

At that time, the Bhagavat addressed the bhikṣus: "There are five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? The rūpa aggregate of clinging, and the vedanā, saṃjñā, saṃskāra, and vijñāna aggregates of clinging. One contemplates these five aggregates of clinging as phenomena subject to arising and ceasing: namely, this is rūpa, this is the arising of rūpa, this is the ceasing of rūpa; this is vedanā, saṃjñā, saṃskāra, and vijñāna, this is the arising of vijñāna, this is the ceasing of vijñāna. What is the arising of rūpa? What is the ceasing of rūpa? What is the arising of vedanā, saṃjñā, saṃskāra, and vijñāna? What is the ceasing of vedanā, saṃjñā, saṃskāra, and vijñāna? The arising of craving and delight is the arising of rūpa; the ceasing of craving and delight is the ceasing of rūpa. The arising of contact is the arising of vedanā, saṃjñā, and saṃskāra; the ceasing of contact is the ceasing of vedanā, saṃjñā, and saṃskāra. The arising of name-and-form is the arising of vijñāna; the ceasing of name-and-form is the ceasing of vijñāna. Bhikṣus! Such is the arising of rūpa and the ceasing of rūpa; this is called the arising and ceasing of rūpa. Such is the arising and ceasing of vedanā, saṃjñā, saṃskāra, and vijñāna; this is called the arising and ceasing of vedanā, saṃjñā, saṃskāra, and vijñāna."

It was then that the Bhagavān told the monks, “There are five acquired aggregates. What are the five? The acquired aggregate of form … feeling … conception … volition … the acquired aggregate of awareness. Observe these five acquired aggregates as things that arise and cease. That is: ‘This is form, this is the formation of form, and this is the cessation of form. This is feeling … conception … volition … awareness, this is the formation of awareness, and this is the cessation of awareness.’

“What is the formation of form, and what is the cessation of form? What is the formation of feeling … conception … volition … awareness, and what is the cessation of feeling … conception … volition … awareness? The formation of craving and delight is the formation of form, and the cessation of craving and delight is the cessation of form. The formation of contact is the formation of feeling, conception, and volition, and the cessation of contact is the cessation of feeling, conception, and volition. The formation of name and form is the formation of awareness, and the cessation of name and form is the cessation of awareness.

“Monks, it’s in this way that form forms and form ceases. This is the formation of form and the cessation of form. It’s in this way that feeling … conception … volition … awareness forms and feeling … conception … volition … awareness ceases. This is the formation of feeling … conception … volition … awareness and the cessation of feeling … conception … volition … awareness.”

59.7

佛說此經已，時諸比丘聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。

When the Buddha had spoken this sūtra, the bhikṣus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.

After the Buddha spoke this sūtra, the monks who heard what the Buddha taught rejoiced and approved.
