如是我聞：一時佛住舍衛國 祇樹給孤獨園。

時有年少婆羅門名僧迦羅，來詣佛所，與世尊面相問訊慰勞已，退坐一面，白佛言：

瞿曇！不善男子云何可知？

佛告婆羅門：

譬猶如月。

婆羅門復問：

善男子云何可知？

佛告婆羅門：

譬猶如月。

婆羅門白佛：

云何不善男子如月？

佛告婆羅門：

如月黑分，光明亦失，色亦失，所係亦失，日夜消滅，乃至不現。如是，有人於如來所，得信家心，受持淨戒，善學多聞，損己布施，正見真實。於如來所淨信、持戒、惠施、多聞、正見真直已，然後退失，於戒、聞、施、正見悉皆忘失，日夜消滅，乃至須臾，一切忘失。

復次，婆羅門！若善男子不習近善知識，不數聞法，不正思惟，身行惡行，口行惡行，意行惡行；行惡因緣故，身壞命終，墮惡趣泥梨中。如是，婆羅門！不善男子其譬如月。

婆羅門白佛：

云何善男子其譬如月？

佛告婆羅門：

譬如明月淨分光明，色澤日夜增明，乃至月滿，一切圓淨。如是，善男子於如來法、律得淨信心，……乃至正見真淨增明，戒增、施增、聞增、慧增，日夜增長；復於餘時親近善知識，聞說正法，內正思惟，行身善行，行口善行，行意善行故，以是因緣，身壞命終，化生天上。婆羅門！是故善男子譬如月。

爾時世尊而說偈言：

譬如月無垢周行於虛空 一切小星中其光最盛明 淨信亦如是戒聞離慳施 於諸慳世間其施特明顯

佛說此經已，僧迦羅婆門聞佛所說，歡喜隨喜，從座起而去。
