3.11
佛告迦葉:「我當與汝說喻,智者以喻得解。往昔有王,王名特異,王有四子,一、名喜悅,二、名長壽,三、名百歲,四、名無畏。彼長壽子,不滿月數即便命終。喜悅子者,身生瘡痍見者惡賤,父母厭患常無歡心。百歲子者,不滿百日復取命終。無畏子者,脣騫鼻嵃反齒橫牙,人見恐畏。此亦如是,想、受、識無若干差別。」
The Buddha told Kāśyapa: "I shall speak a parable for you; the wise attain understanding through parables. In the past there was a king whose name was extraordinary. The king had four sons: the first was named Joyous; the second was named Long Life; the third was named Hundred Years; the fourth was named Fearless. That son named Long Life died before completing a full month. As for the Joyous son, his body developed sores and ulcers, and whoever saw him despised him; his parents were weary and troubled by him, and were never happy. The son named Hundred Years also met his death before completing a hundred days. The Fearless son had a hare-lip, a flat nose, crooked teeth, and protruding fangs; people saw him and were terrified. This is also like that: ideation, sensation, and consciousness have no such various distinctions."
