序論一

内结與外结，人為结缚结，

瞿曇我问汝，誰當解此结？

住戒有慧人，修習心與慧，

有勤智比丘，彼當解此结。 

外纏結非纏　　內纏纏眾生
今問於瞿曇　　誰於纏離纏    

智者建立戒　　內心修智慧
比丘勤修習　　於纏能解纏      《雜阿含》五九九经

漢譯並未將戒、定、慧三學之意旨譯出；別譯雜阿含173經則有：

堅持立禁戒，修心及智慧，
懃行於精進，具念名比丘，
速能令結髮，作於不結髮。

The inner tangle and the outer tangle--

This generation is entangled in a tangle,

And so I ask of Gotama this question:

Who succeeds in disentangling this tangle?

When a wise man, established well in Virtue(戒),

Develops Consciousness(定) and Understanding(慧),

Then as a bhikkhu ardent and sagacious

He succeeds in disentangling this tangle.

A tangle inside, a tangle outside,

This generation is entangled in a tangle.

I ask you this, O Gotama,

Who can disentangle this tangle?

A man established on virtue, wise,

Developing the mind and wisdom,

A bhikkhu ardent and discerning:

He can disentangle this tangle.        SN 1.23

引經要旨：開宗明義，本論即在闡釋戒定慧三學的清淨道。
