增支部10集69經/談論之事經第一(莊春江譯)[AA.47.4]
有一次，
世尊住在舍衛城祇樹林給孤獨園。
當時，
餐後已從施食返回、集合在講堂共坐的眾多
比丘住於從事各種
畜生論，即：國王論、盜賊論、大臣論、軍隊論、怖畏論、戰爭論、食物論、飲料論、衣服論、臥具論、花環論、氣味論、親里論、車乘論、村落論、城鎮論、城市論、國土論、女人論、英雄論、街道論(街道流言)、水井論(井邊流言)、祖靈論、種種論、世界起源論、海洋起源論、
如是有無論等。
那時，世尊傍晚時，從
獨坐出來，去講堂。抵達後，在設置的座位坐下。坐下後，世尊召喚比丘們：「比丘們！現在，在這裡共坐聚集談論之事是什麼？還有，你們的談論中間被中斷的是什麼？」
「
大德！這裡，我們餐後已從施食返回，集合在講堂共坐，住於從事各種畜生論，即：國王論、盜賊論……（中略）、如是有無論等。」「比丘們！但，這對
善男子以信從在家出家成為無家者的你們是不適當的：凡你們住於從事各種畜生論，即：國王論、盜賊論、大臣論、軍隊論、怖畏論、戰爭論、食物論、飲料論、衣服論、臥具論、花環論、氣味論、親里論、車乘論、村落論、城鎮論、城市論、國土論、女人論、英雄論、街道論(街道流言)、水井論(井邊流言)、祖靈論、種種論、世界起源論、海洋起源論、如是有無論等。
比丘們！有這十種談論之事，哪十種？少欲論、知足論、
獨居論、
不交際論、活力激發論、戒論、定論、慧論、解脫論、
解脫智見論，比丘們！這是十種談論之事。
比丘們！如果你們一一取這十種談論之事的談論後談論，你們會以光輝勝過(遍取)即使這日月這麼
大神通力的、這麼大威力的光輝，更不用說
其他外道遊行者。」
