不退法《Mahāparinibbānasuttaṃ》

本經與巴利聖典《長部》第16經《Mahāparinibbānasuttaṃ》的內容完全相同。

正法將滅，這是必然的趨勢。而本經是佛陀為諸比丘開示幾項能令「法」與「僧團」常保興盛、不衰退、不消失的具體明確修行方法。

經中提到「不為群黨，言無益事。」就是《論語》的《衛靈公‧十六》所載:「群居終日，言不及義，好行小慧，難矣哉！」──孔子說：「一群人整天聚集在一起，講的都是些無聊話，又喜歡賣弄小聰明，實在很難走上人生的正道。」大家聚集在一起，浪費時間與生命，盡說一些無聊、沒有價值的話(即現代語:打嘴砲)，指一群沒有目標的人不求上進的意思。

佛陀告訴阿難：「你去招集羅閱祇城所有的比丘，要他們都到講堂集合。」

「好的。」阿難尊者允諾，隨即招集諸比丘。

當諸比丘都到齊之後，阿難尊者對世尊說：「諸比丘都已集合到場。」

世尊便從座位起身，走到法講堂，就座而坐，對諸比丘說：「我要為你們說令『法』與『僧團』常保興盛，不衰退、不消失的修行之道，你們都要仔細地聽！並牢牢記住!」

諸比丘說：「好的，世尊！我們都很樂意聽聞。」

佛陀說：「有七種可令『法』與『僧團』常保興盛、不衰退、不消失的修行方法，分別是：一、僧團要經常定期集會，講論正法義，如此可令僧團長幼和順，『法』不遭破壞與滅失；二、上下和同，敬順無違，如此可令僧團長幼和順，『法』不遭破壞與滅失；三、奉法守戒，不違制度，如此可令僧團長幼和順，『法』不遭破壞與滅失；四、若有比丘能力很強可護眾，又博學多聞，就應該敬奉之，如此可令僧團長幼和順，『法』不遭破壞與滅失；五、念護心意(守護諸根、正念分明)，孝敬為首，如此可令僧團長幼和順，『法』不遭破壞與滅失；六、淨修梵行，不隨情欲、貪欲、性慾等雜染煩惱起舞，如此可令僧團長幼和順，『法』不遭破壞與滅失；七、先人後己，長幼有序，不貪名利，如此可令僧團長幼和順，『法』不遭破壞與滅失。」

「還有七種修行方法，可令『法』增長興盛，無有損耗：一、樂於少事少務，不要被多餘的雜務而分心，如此可令『法』增長興盛，無有損耗；二、樂於靜默，不好多言；三、少於睡眠，無有昏昧；四、不成群結黨，盡說些無益之事(譯註: 大家聚集在一起，卻說一些無聊、沒有價值的話(即現代語:打嘴砲))；五、不因無德而自我稱譽；六、不與惡人互動成群結黨；七、樂於在山林閑靜處獨自靜修。以上七法，比丘，可令『法』增長興盛，無有損耗。」

「復有七法，可令『法』增長興盛，無有損耗，分別是:一、有信心，也就是對如來、至真、正覺、……十號具足有信心；二、知慚，也就是恥於己闕之處；三、知愧，也就是羞為惡行；四、多聞，其所聽聞受持的『法』，上中下善，義、味深奧，清淨無穢，梵行具足；五、精勤苦行，滅惡修善，勤習不捨；六、過去所學習的『法』，憶念不忘；七、修習智慧，知生滅法，趣賢聖要，盡諸苦本。以上七法，可令『法』增長興盛，無有損耗。」

「復有七法，令『法』增長，無有損耗，分別是:一、敬佛；二、敬法；三、敬僧；四、敬戒；五、敬定；六、敬順父母；七、敬不放逸。以上七種修行方法，可令『法』增長，無有損耗。」

「復有七法，可令『法』增長，無有損耗，分別是:一、觀身不淨；二、觀食不淨；三、不樂世間；四、常念死想(譯註:念死)；五、起無常想；六、無常苦想；七、苦無我想。以上七種修行方法，可令『法』增長，無有損耗。」

「復有七法，可令『法』增長，無有損耗，分別是:一、修念覺意(念覺支)，閑靜無欲，出要(出離)無為；二、修法覺意(擇法覺支)；三者修精進覺意(精進覺支)；四、修喜覺意(喜覺支)；五者修猗覺意(猗覺支)；六者修定覺意(定覺支)；七、修護覺意(捨覺支)。以上七覺支，可令『法』增長，無有損耗。」

「有六不退法，可令『法』增長，無有損耗，分別是:一、身常行慈，不害眾生；二、口說仁慈語，不說惡言妄語；三、常懷慈悲心，不懷敵意仇恨；四、倘若獲得清淨的利養，樂於與大眾共享之，平等無二；五、持賢聖戒，無有闕漏，亦無垢穢，禪定不動；六、見賢聖道，以盡苦際(解脫)。以上六種修行方法，可令『法』增長，無有損耗。」

最後，佛陀告訴諸比丘：「還有六種不退法，可令『法』增長，無有損耗，分別是:一、念佛；二、念法；三、念僧；四、念戒；五、念施；六、念天。修此六念，可令『法』增長，無有損耗。」
