§ Chinese English Translation
[1];一[2](一) SĀ 1.1 Impermanent (T99.1)
1. 如是我聞:[3]一時,佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。 Thus I have heard:[4] One time, the Buddha was staying at Anāthapiṇḍada’s Park in Jeta’s Grove of Śrāvastī.
2. 爾時,世尊告諸比丘:「當觀色無常,如是觀者,則為正見[5];正見者則生厭離,厭離者喜貪盡,喜貪盡者說心解脫。 It was then that the Bhagavān addressed the monks, “You should observe that form is impermanent. Such observation then is right view.[6] Right view then gives rise to disillusionment. Being disillusioned, delight and greed [for form] will end. When delight and greed [for form] have ended, that’s said to be the mind’s liberation.
3. 如是觀受、想、行、識無常,如是觀者,則為正見;正見者則生厭離,厭離者喜貪盡,喜貪盡者說心解脫。 “Thus, observe that feeling … perception … volition … consciousness is impermanent. Such observation then is right view. Right view then gives rise to disillusionment. Being disillusioned, delight and greed [for consciousness] will end. When delight and greed [for consciousness] have ended, that’s said to be the mind’s liberation.
4. 如是比丘!心解脫者,若欲自證,則能自證:我生已盡,梵行已立,所作已作,自知不受後有」。 “Thus, monks, if someone whose mind is liberated wants to realize it for themselves, then they can realize, ‘My births have been ended, the religious practice has been established, and the task has been accomplished. I myself know that I won’t be subject to a later existence.’”
5. 時諸比丘聞佛所說,歡喜奉行。 When the monks heard what the Buddha taught, they rejoiced and approved.

Parallels

When we compare this sutra to those found in Pali, we find that it closely match SN 22.12 and 51. Specifically, the teaching about the aggregates closely matches that found in SN 22.51, although in the Chinese it has been abbreviated further. SN 22.12 appears to be a more succinct version of the same teaching, separating the statement that the five aggregates are impermanent from the process of liberation. SN 22.12 also includes the stock passage describing self-realization. SĀ 1.1 appears to be a variant of SN 22.12 with more verbose teaching on the aggregates in SN 12.51. The close match of wording suggests this is a pre-sectarian teaching.
