如是我聞：Thus I have heard: 一時，佛住舍衛國、祇樹、給孤獨園。One time, the Buddha was staying at Anāthapiṇḍada’s Park in Jeta’s Grove of Śrāvastī.

爾時，世尊告諸比丘：It was then that the Bhagavān addressed the monks, 「當觀色無常。“You should observe that form is [1] impermanent … [2] painful … [3] empty … [4] not self. 如是觀者則為正觀。
正觀 → 正見 (yinshun)Observing it in this way is right view. 正觀者則生厭離。Correctly observing it gives rise to disillusionment. 厭離者喜、貪盡。When someone is disillusioned, delight and greed end. 喜、貪盡者說心解脫。When delight and greed end, I say one’s mind is liberated.

「如是觀受⋯想⋯行⋯識無常。“Thus observe that feeling … conception … volition … awareness is [1] impermanent … [2] painful … [3] empty … [4] not self. 如是觀者則為正觀。
正觀 → 正見 (yinshun)Observing it in this way is right view. 正觀者則生厭離。Correctly observing it gives rise to disillusionment. 厭離者喜、貪盡。When someone is disillusioned, delight and greed end. 喜、貪盡者說心解脫。When delight and greed end, I say one’s mind is liberated.

「如是，比丘，心解脫者，若欲自證，則能自證：“In this way, monks, someone who wants to realize the mind’s liberation for themselves can realize: 『我生已盡，梵行已立，所作已作。』‘My births have been ended, the religious practice has been established, and the task has been accomplished.’ 自知不受後有。」They themselves know they won’t be subject to a later existence.”

（如「觀⋯無常」、「苦」、「空」、「非我」亦復如是。）(Like “observe … impermanent,” “pain,” “emptiness,” and “not self” are taught in the same way.)

時，諸比丘聞佛所說歡喜，奉行。When the monks heard what the Buddha taught, they rejoiced and approved.
