Meditating on Odour Brings Nibbāna Near

觀照香，涅槃近前

「Na so rajjati gandhesu, gandham ghatvā patissato;
Virattacitto vedeti, tañca nājjhossa titthati.」

「Passion remains undeveloped in him who-recollects with mindfulness the odour that he has smelled. Thus freed from lust, he refuses to imbibe it.」

「他憶持正念地嗅所嗅之香，染著便不會生起。因此從貪著解脫，他不會黏著于香。」

「Yathāssa ghāyato gandham, sevato cāpi vedanam;
Khīyati nopacīyati, evam so caratī sato.
Evam apacinato dukkham, santike nibbāna vuccati.」

「Smelling an odour, a meditator just smells it and just feels that he smells it, without conceptualising it. With this, suffering ceases. One who practises in this way is said to be near to nibbāna.」

「嗅到所嗅之香時，禪修者只是嗅香，只是感受他嗅香，沒有構想香的概念。如此，苦熄滅。用這種方式禪修的人，我說，他傾近于涅槃。」

To dispel suffering, note with mindfulness every time an odour presents itself to your mind. Now I will go on to the sense of taste. It will show you how to practise vipassanā.

為了驅除煩惱，在香呈現給心的每個時刻，你要正念地注意它。現在我將繼續談嘗的感知。它將向你揭示如何修習內觀。
