Excerpts

Abandon Scattered Minds With Frivolous Discussions 舍离乱心戏论

汝等比丘,若种种戏论,其心则乱,虽复出家,犹未得脱。是故比丘,当急舍离乱心戏论。

You [and] other Bhikṣus, if [with] all kinds [of] frivolous discussions, your minds [will] then [be] scattered. Even if [having] left [the] household [life, you will] still not attain liberation. Therefore, Bhikṣus, [you] should urgently abandon scattered minds [with] frivolous discussions.

若汝欲得寂灭乐者,唯当善灭戏论之患,是名不戏论。

If you desire [to be] those [who] attain [the] bliss [of] stillness [and] extinguishment [i.e. Nirvāṇa], [you] only should well eliminate [the] sickness of frivolous discussions. These [are] named [as teachings on] not [having] frivolous discussions.
