翻譯名義集 7.9

7.9

【阿蘭若】或名阿練若，《大論》翻遠離處，《薩婆多論》翻閑靜處。天台云：不作眾事，名之為閑；無憒鬧故，名之為靜。或翻無諍，謂所居不與世諍，即離聚落五里處也。肇云：「忿競生乎眾聚，無諍出乎空閑。故佛讚住於阿蘭若。」應師翻空寂。苑師分三類：一達磨阿蘭若，即《華嚴》之初，謂說諸法本來湛寂，無起作義；二名摩登伽阿蘭若，謂塚間處，要去村落一俱盧舍，大牛吼聲所不及處；三名檀陀迦阿蘭若，謂沙磧之處也。磧，遷歷切。

【Araṇya】 Also named *āreṇya*. The *Dazhidulun* translates it as a distant and secluded place; the *Sarvāstivāda-śāstra* translates it as a calm and quiet place. Tiantai states: Not engaging in worldly affairs is called calm (*xian*); being free from bustling noise is called quiet (*jing*). It is also translated as 'free from contention', meaning that where one dwells, one does not contend with the world, that is, a place five *li* away from villages. Sengzhao states: "Anger and contention arise among assemblies; freedom from contention emerges from empty seclusion. Therefore, the Buddha praised dwelling in an araṇya." Master Huanying translated it as empty and tranquil. Master Huiyuan divided it into three types: first, dharma-araṇya, that is, at the beginning of the *Avataṃsaka*, referring to the preaching that all dharmas are originally tranquil and calm, devoid of the sense of arising or action; second, mātaṅga-araṇya, referring to charnel grounds, which must be one krośa away from villages, beyond the reach of the bellowing of a large ox; third, daṇḍaka-araṇya, referring to a sandy desert. *Qi* (desert) is pronounced with the fanqie *qian-li*.
