### [760.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra.760.4)

爾時，世尊告諸比丘：「世有三法，不可喜、不可愛、不可念。何等為三？謂老、病、死，此三法不可喜、不可愛、不可念。世間若無此三法不可喜、不可愛、不可念者，無有如來、應、等正覺出於世間，世間亦不知有如來說法教誡、教授。以世間有此三法不可喜、不可愛、不可念故，如來、應、等正覺出於世間，世間知有如來說法教誡、教授。」

> It was then that the Bhagavān addressed the monks, “The world has three things that are disagreeable, unattractive, and immemorable. What are the three? They are old age, illness, and death. These three things are disagreeable, unattractive, and immemorable. If the world didn’t have these three things that are disagreeable, unattractive, and immemorable, there wouldn’t be a Tathāgata, an Arhat, or a Completely Awakened One who appears in it. The world wouldn’t know there was a teaching, instruction, or guidance taught by the Tathāgata, either. The Tathāgata, the Arhat, and the Completely Awakened One appears in the world because it has these three things that are disagreeable, unattractive, and immemorable, and the world does know that there is a teaching, instruction, and guidance taught by the Tathāgata.”
