九、少欲
[9] Few Desires
【释迦牟尼佛】：汝等比丘，当知多欲之人，多求利故，苦恼亦多。
[Śākyamuni Buddha]: You [and] other Bhikṣus, should know [that] of people [with] many desires, [with] much seeking [of] benefits thus, [their] sufferings [and] afflictions [are] also many.
少欲之人，无求无欲，则无此患。
Of people [with] few desires, without seeking [and] without desires, [they are] then without these sufferings.
直尔少欲，尚宜修习，何况少欲，能生诸功德。
Directly thus [for] few desires, [there] still should [be] practice, moreover [with] few desires, [this is] able [to] give rise [to] all meritorious virtues.
少欲之人，则无谄曲以求人意，亦复不为诸根所牵。
Of people [with] few desires, then without flattery, with [it] seeking [to fulfil] people’s wishes, [they are] also not by all roots [as] those led.
行少欲者，心则坦然，无所忧畏。
[Of] those practising [with] few desires, [their] minds [are] then undisturbed, without that [to] worry [and] fear.
触事有余，常无不足。有少欲者，则有涅槃，是名少欲。
[When in] contact [with] matters, having surpluses, constantly without [having] not enough. [Those with] few desires, [will] then have Nirvāṇa. [These] are named [as teachings on] few desires.
