GOSHO 立正安国論55 施を止めて命を絶つ 五

純陀(じゅんだ)、復(ま)た問いたてまつる、一闡提(いっせんだい)とは其の義(ぎ)何(いか)ん、

“Chunda spoke once more, asking, ‘What is the meaning of the term icchantika?’

Chunda then asked: “how would you describe icchantika？”

仏言わく、純陀(じゅんだ)若し比丘(びく)及び比丘尼(びくに)・優(う)婆(ば)塞(そく)・優(う)婆(ば)夷(い)有つて麁(そ)悪(あく)の言を発し、正法を誹謗(ひぼう)し、是の重業(じゅうごう)を造(つく)つて永く改悔(かいげ)せず、心に懺悔(ざんげ)無からん、

“The Buddha said: ‘Chunda, suppose there should be monks or nuns, lay men or women who speak careless and evil words and slander the correct teaching, and that they should go on committing these grave acts without ever showing any inclination to reform or any sign of repentance in their hearts.

The Buddha responded: “Chunda, icchantika are people, among the Buddhist monks, nuns, laymen and laywomen, who spew malicious words and slander the correct Law. Despite creating such severe karma, they refuse to repent over an extended period of time and have no intention to rectify their actions.

是(か)くの如き等の人を名けて一闡提(いっせんだい)の道に趣向(しゅこう)すと為す、

Persons of this kind I would say are following the path of the icchantika.

Such people are heading down the path of icchantika.”
