大方便佛報恩經 6.10

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [6.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6.10)

「云何名三寶，佛法及眾僧？三寶若無性，云何分別說法僧差別名？歸依三寶者，云何而奉行？三歸若一者，不應說言三。若說三歸者，云何七眾名？」爾時優波離白佛言：「世尊！何所歸依，名歸依佛？」

> "What are called the Triratna: Buddha, Dharma, and the Saṅgha of monks? If the Triratna is without intrinsic nature, how are the distinct names of Dharma and Saṅgha explained? For those who take refuge in the Triratna, how do they practice and uphold it? If the three refuges are one, one should not speak of 'three.' If one speaks of 'three refuges,' how are the names of the seven assemblies explained?" At that time, Upāli said to the Buddha: "Bhagavat! Taking refuge in what is called taking refuge in the Buddha?"
