佛陀说

任何人如果心中还有贪、瞋、痴，佛陀说那样的心比粪便还臭。

If anyone 's mind still has greed , hatred and delusion , the Buddha says that it stinks more than excrement .

佛陀说我们带着很多这样的微妙的习惯，在（习惯的）“阿赖耶”或者说家园中，而这是真正觉醒的一种障碍。

The Buddha says that we carry many such subtle habits , in the " Alaya " or the home ( of habits ), which are a hindrance to true awakening .

佛陀说，他的弟子们应该像火炼金那样检验他的话。

The Buddha said that his disciples should try his words as gold is tried by fire .

在法句经中佛陀说涅盘是“最高的幸福”。

The Buddha in the Dhammapada says of nirvana that it is " the highest happiness " .

他走向佛陀说：‘沙门，也许你已经看到我的牛了吧！’

He approached the Buddha and said to him : " May be you 've seen my oxen , ascetic ?"

佛陀说：「学了教导但却从不去看自己念头的人，就像是一只白蚁只会挖洞和咬书本。」

Whoever has studied but never seen his or her own thoughts , says the Buddha , are like a termite that makes holes and eats books .

当你听到佛陀说的这些话，就要依著去修行，不能只做个凡夫就满足，要修行提升到人类、天神、大梵天神的层次，或甚至努力修心成为圣者。

When you have all heard this , practice accordingly and don 't stop at just being a person ; cultivate until you 're a human being , an angel a Brahma god or develop your mind to be a Noble one .

你是否曾听过佛陀教导说「法本来存在」呢？

Have you ever heard of the Buddha having taught that the Dhamma exists already ?

然后佛陀所说的近岸是比喻作六根门、对岸比喻作六尘-这里面有什么意义呢？

Then , what does the Buddha mean when he compares the near bank with six sense-doors and the far bank with six sense-objects ?

佛陀坚持说，这后一个层次是不可描述的，即便以存在与非存在角度也不可能，因为言辞只适于有限事物。

The Buddha insists that this level is indescribable , even in terms of existence or nonexistence , because words work only for things that have limits .

真是如佛陀所说的：「我们从生到死，众生就是用这个妄心，导致我们反复地出入生死。」

It truly is the case that to the end of our days we living beings make use of the false mind which causes us to enter birth and death repeatedly .

《法句经》据说都是佛陀所说。佛陀是公元前6世纪时在印度创立佛教的人。《法句经》的语句是诗意的，有时寓意很深刻。

The poetic and sometimes profound sayings of the Dhammapada , which can be translated as " Way of Truth ," are attributed to Buddha , who founded Buddhism in India in the6th century BC .

我曾试著问自己，佛陀为什么要说忏悔法呢？

And I kind of ask myself why Buddha spoke the Dharma of repentance .

如佛陀曾经所说，止与观两者对证得良好、有力的诸种定境都是必要的。

As the Buddha once said , both tranquility and insight are required for getting good strong states of absorption .

佛陀慈祥地说，“告诉我你想吃什么，我都会给你。”

The Buddha kindly said ," Tell me what you want to eat , and I 'll get it for you . "

佛陀接著继续说：「只要我们活著，我们就不能避免痛苦的体验&亦即第一支箭。

He went on to say , that as long as we are alive , we can expect painful experiences-the first arrow .
