如是我聞：一時佛在拘薩羅人間遊行，夜宿一娑羅林中。
時有一婆羅門，近彼林側，與五百年少婆羅門共。彼婆羅門常稱歎、欽想，欲見世尊： 何時遊於此林？我因得見 我
時彼婆羅門年少弟子為採薪故，入於林中，遙見世尊坐一樹下，儀容端正，諸根寂靜；其心寂定，形若金山，光明徹照。見已，作是念：
即持薪束，疾還學堂。捨薪束已，詣
時婆羅門即詣世尊所，面相問訊，慰勞已，退坐一面，而說偈言：
獨入此恐怖 深邃叢林中 堅住不傾動 善修正勤法 無歌舞音樂 寂默住空閑 我所未曾見 獨樂深林者 欲求於世間 自在增上主 為三十三天 天上自在樂 何故深林中 苦行自枯槁
爾時世尊說偈答言：
欲種種求 苦 若 諸界多種著 彼一切皆是 愚癡之根本 如是一切求 我久悉已吐 不求不諂偽 一切無所觸 於一切諸法 唯一清淨觀 得無上菩提 禪思修 不樂
婆羅門復說偈言：
我今敬禮汝 大寂牟尼尊 禪思之妙王 覺無邊大覺 如來天人救 巍巍若金山 解脫於叢林 於林永不著 已拔深利刺 清淨無餘跡 論師之上首 言說最勝辯 人中雄師子 震吼於深林 顯現苦聖諦 集滅八正道 能盡眾苦聚 乘出淨無垢 自脫一切苦 濟彼苦眾生 安樂眾生故 演說於正法 已斷於恩愛 遠離於欲網 斷除於一切 有愛之結縛 如水生蓮花 塵水不染著 如日停虛空 清淨無雲翳 善哉我今日 至拘薩羅林 得見於大師 兩足之勝尊 大林大精進 得第一廣度 調御師之首 敬禮無所畏
時婆羅門廣說斯偈，讚歎佛已，聞佛所說，歡喜隨喜，作禮而去。
