### [1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2819.1.3)

佛告舍利弗。若有比丘教餘比丘。汝當念佛念法念僧念戒念施念天。唯愛涅槃畢竟清淨。如是教者名為邪教。謂是正教而是邪教。舍利弗。如是教者名為惡知識。是人名為誹謗於我助於外道。亦為他人說邪道法。舍利弗。如是惡人我乃不聽受一飲水以自供養。舍利弗。是念佛法斷語言道過出諸念。不可得念是名念佛。舍利弗。一切諸念皆寂滅相。隨順是法。此即名為修習念佛。不可以色念佛。何以故。念色取相貪味為識。無形無色無緣無性。是名念佛。是故當知。無有分別無取無捨。是真念佛。

> The Buddha addressed Śāriputra: "If there is a monk who teaches other monks, 'You should be mindful of the Buddha, mindful of the Dharma, mindful of the Saṅgha, mindful of the precepts, mindful of giving, and mindful of the deities, loving only nirvāṇa as ultimately pure'—one who teaches like this is called a false teacher. It is claimed to be true teaching, but it is false teaching. Śāriputra, such a teacher is called a bad friend (pāpamitra). Such a person slanders me, aids the tīrthikas, and preaches false teachings to others. Śāriputra, such an evil person I do not even permit to receive a single drink of water to sustain himself. Śāriputra, this Dharma of buddhānusmṛti cuts off the path of language and transcends all thoughts. Being beyond what can be recalled as an object of thought is called buddhānusmṛti. Śāriputra, all thoughts are of the mark of śānti. Conforming to this Dharma—this is called cultivating buddhānusmṛti. One cannot be mindful of the Buddha through form. Why is this? To be mindful of form and grasp at marks, lusting after tastes, is consciousness. Being formless, devoid of appearance, devoid of conditions, and devoid of intrinsic nature—this is called buddhānusmṛti. Therefore you should know: to be without discrimination, without grasping and without abandoning, is true buddhānusmṛti."
