如是我聞：一時佛住
爾時世尊告諸比丘：
當如月譬住。如新學，慚愧軟下，攝心斂形而入他家。如明目士夫，臨深登峰，攝心斂形，難速
前進。如是比丘如月譬住，亦如新學，慚愧軟下，御心 斂形而入他家。迦葉比丘如月譬住，亦如新學，慚愧軟下諸高慢 ，御心控形而入他家。如明目士夫，臨深登峰，御心控形，正觀而進。
佛告比丘：
於意云何：比丘為何等像類應入他家？
諸比丘白佛言：
世尊是法根、法眼、法依。
唯願廣說！諸比丘聞已，當受奉行！
佛告
諦聽！善思！當為汝說。若有比丘，於他家心不縛著貪樂，於他得利，他作功德，欣若在己，不生嫉想，亦不自舉，亦不下人，如是像類比丘應入他家。
爾時世尊以手捫摸虛空，告諸比丘：
我今此手寧著空、縛空、染空不？
比丘白佛：
不也，世尊！
佛告比丘：
比丘之法常如是，不著、不縛、不染心而入他家。唯迦葉比丘以不著、不縛、不染之心而入他家，於他得利及作功德，欣若在己，不生嫉想，不自舉，不下人。其唯迦葉比丘應入他家。
爾時世尊復以手捫摸虛空，告諸比丘：
於
意云何？我今此手寧著空、縛空、染空以不？
諸比丘白佛言：
不也，世尊！
佛告比丘：
其唯迦葉比丘心常如是，以不著、不縛、不染之心入於他家。
爾時世尊告諸比丘：
何等像類比丘應清淨說法？
諸比丘白佛：
世尊是法根、法眼、法依。唯願廣說！諸比丘聞已，當受奉行！
佛告比丘：
諦聽！善思！當為汝說。若有比丘，作如是心，為人說法：
何等人於我起淨信，心為本已，當得供養衣被、飲食、臥具、湯藥？如是說者，名不清淨說法。 若復比丘為人說法，作如是念：世尊顯現正法、律，離諸熾然，不待時節，即此現身，緣自覺知，正向涅槃，而諸眾生沈溺老、病、死、憂、悲、惱苦。如此眾生聞正法者，以義饒益，長夜安樂。以是正法因緣，以慈心、悲心、哀愍心、欲令正法久住心而為人說，是名清淨說法。唯迦葉比丘有如是清淨心，為人說法，以如來正法、律，……（乃至）令法久住心而為人說。是故──諸比丘！──當如是學：如是說法，於如來正法、律，……（乃至）令法久住心為人說法。
佛說此經已，諸比丘聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。
