相应部14相应14经/下劣志向者经(界相应/因缘篇/修多罗)

有个时候，佛陀住在舍卫城的祇树林给孤独园。有一天，佛陀对出家弟子们说：“弟子们，世间的众生如同界（界解释，见第一百零三章）一样，相同特性的事物会聚集、合流到一起，也就是凶恶歹毒的人会与卑劣恶毒的念想聚集、合流到一起，善良温和的人会与高尚仁慈的念想聚集、合流到一起，恶人会与恶人聚集、合流到一起，善人会与善人聚集、合流到一起。

弟子们，过去世、现在世、未来世的众生也如同界一样，相同特性的事物会聚集、合流到一起，也就是过去世、现在世、未来世凶恶歹毒的众生会与卑劣恶毒的念想聚集、合流到一起，过去世、现在世、未来世善良温和的众生会与高尚仁慈的念想聚集、合流到一起，过去世、现在世、未来世恶毒的众生会与恶毒的众生聚集、合流到一起，过去世、现在世、未来世善良的众生会与善良的众生聚集、合流到一起。”

佛陀说法后，听法的出家弟子们都再次的顶礼佛陀，随喜赞叹佛陀说法的无量功德，他们都按着佛陀所说的法去修行。
