Abstract

The paper focuses on the 12th chapter of the *Saddharmaparikathā, a Buddhist homileticians’ guidebook containing sample sermons, dealing with the topic of gambling (dyūta). I edit, translate, and discuss the chapter with an introduction that includes a short overview of gambling in Sanskrit literature at large. The anonymous author is dismissive of gambling in all its forms, whether it is practised for material gain, for mere pleasure, and even if studied as an art. In spite of its exiguity, his discussion of the topic is, as far as we are aware, the most comprehensive in classical Buddhist literature.

佛教对赌博的说教（*Sadharmaparikathā，第12章）

这篇论文的重点是《saddharmaparikathha》的第十二章，这是一本佛教布道家的指南，包含了一些关于赌博的例子(dyūta)。我编辑，翻译，并讨论与介绍，包括赌博在梵文文学的一个简短概述的章节。这位匿名作者对所有形式的赌博都不屑一顾，无论是为了物质利益，还是仅仅为了娱乐，甚至是作为一门艺术来研究。他对这一问题的讨论虽然很尖锐，但就我们所知，却是古典佛教文献中最全面的。
