中部33经/大牧牛者经(双大品[4])

这是我亲身听闻到的，一时，佛陀住在舍卫城祇树林给孤独园。在那里，佛陀对比丘们说："比丘们。"那些比丘回答说："世尊。"

佛陀如是说："比丘们，具备十一种特质的牧牛人不能照顾牛群使之繁荣。是哪十一种呢？在此，比丘们，牧牛人不识牛的体态，不善于辨别特征，不会除去蚊虫，不会包扎伤口，不会熏烟，不知渡口，不知饮水处，不知道路，不善于选择牧场，过度挤奶，对于那些公牛、牛群的领袖和向导，不给予额外的尊敬。比丘们，具备这十一种特质的牧牛人不能照顾牛群使之繁荣。同样地，比丘们，具备十一种特质的比丘不能在此法与律中获得增长、壮大与圆满（律解释：戒律）。是哪十一种呢？在此，比丘们，比丘不识色（色解释：物质事物），不善于辨别特征，不会除去恶念，不会包扎伤口，不会熏烟，不知渡口，不知已饮，不知道路，不善于选择行处，过度索取，对于那些上座比丘、长老、久修行者、僧团的父辈和领导者，不给予额外的尊敬。

"比丘们，比丘如何不识色？在此，比丘们，比丘对于任何色，一切色，不如实了知：'是四大种及四大种所造色'（四大种解释：即是四大，四大解释，见第八十一章）。比丘们，如是比丘不识色。

"比丘们，比丘如何不善于辨别特征？在此，比丘们，比丘不如实了知：'愚者以业为特征，智者以业为特征'（业解释，见第四百四十六章）。比丘们，如是比丘不善于辨别特征。

"比丘们，比丘如何不会包扎伤口？在此，比丘们，比丘以眼见色后，便取相、取随相。由于他住于不防护眼根（眼根解释：即是六根之一，眼根，耳根，鼻根，舌根，身根，意根。六根解释，见第八百零二章），贪忧等恶不善法便会流入，他不实行防护，不守护眼根，不在眼根上实行防护。以耳闻声后...以鼻嗅香后...以舌尝味后...以身触触后（身触触解释：身体触摸到事物产生触觉，或者感受到环境变化感觉，冷热舒适等等感觉）...以意识法后（识解释：就是六识；六识解释，见第一百八十八章），便取相、取随相（随相解释：又作小相。与‘本相’（大相）相对称。显示诸法生灭变迁之生、住、异、灭等四相，称为本相。一切有为法皆具四相，而四相之自体亦为有为法，故须另有令其生、住、异、灭之法，即生生相、住住相、异异相、灭灭相，乃随于大相之小相，故称随相）。由于他住于不防护意根，贪忧等恶不善法便会流入，他不实行防护，不守护意根，不在意根上实行防护。比丘们，如是比丘不会包扎伤口。

"比丘们，比丘如何不会熏烟？在此，比丘们，比丘不向他人详细开示如所闻、如所学的法。比丘们，如是比丘不会熏烟。

"比丘们，比丘如何不知渡口？在此，比丘们，比丘不时常亲近多闻、通达阿含、持法、持律、持纲要的比丘们，不询问、不请教：'尊者，这是什么？这是什么意思？'那些尊者不为他开显未开显的，不为他阐明未阐明的，对种种引起疑惑的法不为他遣除疑惑。比丘们，如是比丘不知渡口。

"比丘们，比丘如何不知已饮？在此，比丘们，比丘在如来所说的法与律中被宣说时，不得义的喜悦，不得法的喜悦，不得与法相应的欢喜。比丘们，如是比丘不知已饮。

"比丘们，比丘如何不知道路？在此，比丘们，比丘不如实了知八正道（八正道解释，见第九百三十二章）。比丘们，如是比丘不知道路。

"比丘们，比丘如何不善于选择行处？在此，比丘们，比丘不如实了知四念处（四念处解释：四念处即是四念住，见第一千零一十三章）。比丘们，如是比丘不善于选择行处。

"比丘们，比丘如何过度索取？在此，比丘们，当有信的居士以衣服、饮食、卧具、医药等必需品供养比丘时，该比丘不知适量地接受。比丘们，如是比丘过度索取。

"比丘们，比丘如何对那些上座比丘、长老、久修行者、僧团的父辈和领导者，不给予额外的尊敬？在此，比丘们，比丘对那些上座比丘、长老、久修行者、僧团的父辈和领导者，不在公开场合和私下以慈爱的身业对待（业解释，见第四百四十六章），不在公开场合和私下以慈爱的语业对待，不在公开场合和私下以慈爱的意业对待。比丘们，如是比丘对那些上座比丘、长老、久修行者、僧团的父辈和领导者，不给予额外的尊敬。
