第一千零三十二章 小马邑经
中部40经/小马邑经(双大品[4])
这是我亲身听闻到的:有个时候,佛陀住在昂伽国一个名叫马邑的昂伽人村庄。在那里,佛陀对比丘们说:"比丘们。"那些比丘回答说:"世尊。"
佛陀如此说道:"比丘们,人们称呼你们为'沙门'。当被问到'你们是谁?'时,你们也承认自己是'沙门'。比丘们,既然你们有这样的称号,也有这样的自称,那么你们就应当这样修学:'我们要实践适合沙门的修行。这样,我们的称号就会名副其实,我们的自称也会真实不虚。我们受用信众供养的衣服、饮食、卧具、医药等必需品,这些供养将会对施主们带来丰厚的果报。而且,我们的出家生活也将不会徒劳无功,而是富有成果和利益。'比丘们,你们应当如此修学。"
"比丘们,什么样的比丘没有实践适合沙门的修行呢?任何比丘如果贪婪而未断除贪欲,心怀恶意而未断除嗔恚(嗔恚解释:愤怒,生气),易怒而未断除忿怒,怀恨而未断除怨恨,轻贱他人而未断除轻蔑,自高自大而未断除傲慢,嫉妒而未断除妒忌,吝啬而未断除悭吝,狡诈而未断除欺骗,欺瞒而未断除虚伪,有恶欲而未断除邪欲,持邪见而未断除邪见 - 比丘们,如来说,由于未断除这些沙门的污垢、沙门的过失、沙门的渣滓,这些会导致堕落、招致恶报的行为,他就没有实践适合沙门的修行。比丘们,就像有一种叫做'夺命'的双刃利剑,锋利无比,被包裹在袈裟中。比丘们,如来说这个比丘的出家生活就如同那把剑。"
"比丘们,如来不是说仅仅穿着袈裟就构成沙门的身份。如来不是说仅仅裸体就构成沙门的身份。如来不是说仅仅涂灰蒙尘就构成沙门的身份。如来不是说仅仅每天沐浴就构成沙门的身份。如来不是说仅仅住在树下就构成沙门的身份。如来不是说仅仅露天而居就构成沙门的身份。如来不是说仅仅保持站立就构成沙门的身份。如来不是说仅仅定期进食就构成沙门的身份。如来不是说仅仅念诵咒语就构成沙门的身份。如来不是说仅仅蓄发结髻就构成沙门的身份。"
"比丘们,如果仅仅穿着袈裟就能使贪婪者断除贪欲,使怀有恶意者断除嗔恚,使易怒者断除忿怒,使怀恨者断除怨恨,使轻贱他人者断除轻蔑,使自高自大者断除傲慢,使嫉妒者断除妒忌,使吝啬者断除悭吝,使狡诈者断除欺骗,使欺瞒者断除虚伪,使有恶欲者断除邪欲,使持邪见者断除邪见,那么他的亲朋好友就会在他一出生时就让他穿上袈裟,劝导他说:'来吧,善人,你要穿上袈裟。穿上袈裟后,你就能断除贪欲、嗔恚、忿怒、怨恨、轻蔑、傲慢、妒忌、悭吝、欺骗、虚伪、邪欲和邪见。'但是,比丘们,如来看到有些穿袈裟的人仍然贪婪、怀有恶意、易怒、怀恨、轻贱他人、自高自大、嫉妒、吝啬、狡诈、欺瞒、有恶欲、持邪见。因此,如来不说仅仅穿着袈裟就构成沙门的身份。"
接下来,佛陀用相同的方式解释了为什么仅仅裸体、涂灰蒙尘等外在行为并不能构成真正的沙门身份。
"比丘们,什么样的比丘才是实践了适合沙门的修行呢?任何比丘如果曾经贪婪但已断除贪欲,曾经心怀恶意但已断除嗔恚,曾经易怒但已断除忿怒,曾经怀恨但已断除怨恨,曾经轻贱他人但已断除轻蔑,曾经自高自大但已断除傲慢,曾经嫉妒但已断除妒忌,曾经吝啬但已断除悭吝,曾经狡诈但已断除欺骗,曾经欺瞒但已断除虚伪,曾经有恶欲但已断除邪欲,曾经持邪见但已断除邪见 - 比丘们,如来说,由于断除了这些沙门的污垢、沙门的过失、沙门的渣滓,这些会导致堕落、招致恶报的行为,他就实践了适合沙门的修行。他观察到自己已经从这些恶不善法中净化。当他观察到自己已经从这些恶不善法中净化时,喜悦就会生起。喜悦生起后,欢喜就会生起。心中充满欢喜的人,身体就会轻安。身体轻安的人会感受到快乐。心中快乐的人,心就会得到定(定解释,见第九百三十二章)。"
"他以慈心遍满一方而住,如是第二方、第三方、第四方,上下四维,普遍一切处,广大、无量、无怨、无害。他以悲心...以喜心...以舍心遍满一方而住,如是第二方、第三方、第四方,上下四维,普遍一切处,广大、无量、无怨、无害。"
"比丘们,就像有一个清澈、甘甜、清凉、清净、易入、令人愉悦的水池。如果有人从东方来,被炎热所苦,疲惫不堪,口渴难耐,他来到这个水池,就能解除口渴,消除炎热之苦。如果有人从西方来...从北方来...从南方来...从任何方向来,被炎热所苦,疲惫不堪,口渴难耐,他来到这个水池,就能解除口渴,消除炎热之苦。"
"同样地,比丘们,如果有人从刹帝利种姓家庭出家(刹帝利种姓解释:意译地主、王种。略作刹利。乃印度四姓阶级中之第二阶级,地位仅次于婆罗门,乃王族、贵族、士族所属之阶级,系从事军事、政治者。释尊即出身此阶级),遵循如来所教导的法和律(律解释:戒律),修习慈、悲、喜、舍,他就能获得内心的平静。因为获得内心的平静,如来说他实践了适合沙门的修行。如果有人从婆罗门种姓家庭出家...从吠舍种姓家庭出家...从首陀罗种姓家庭出家...从任何种姓家庭出家(婆罗门解释:意译净行、梵行、梵志、承习。印度四姓中,最上位之僧侣、学者阶级。为古印度一切知识之垄断者,自认为印度社会之最胜种姓;吠舍解释:印度四姓之一,即商人的族姓;首陀罗解释:略称首陀。为印度四姓中地位最低之奴隶阶级。从事担死人、除粪、养鸡猪、捕猎、屠杀、沽酒、兵伍等卑贱职务。乃雅利安人所征服之土著,随着婆罗门文化之隆盛而备受压迫,亦无任何宗教特权,并受传统婆罗门教轻蔑为无来生之贱民,故称为一生族。释尊对此主张四姓平等,并允许首陀罗阶级出家),遵循如来所教导的法和律,修习慈、悲、喜、舍,他就能获得内心的平静。因为获得内心的平静,如来说他实践了适合沙门的修行。"
"如果有人从刹帝利种姓家庭出家,通过断尽烦恼,在现法中自己证知、实现、安住于无漏的心解脱、慧解脱(无漏解释:有漏之对称。漏,为漏泄之意,乃烦恼之异名。贪、嗔等烦恼,日夜由眼、耳等六根门漏泄不止,故称为漏。又漏有漏落之意,烦恼能令人落入于三恶道,故称漏。因之称有烦恼之法为有漏;称离烦恼垢染之清净法为无漏,如涅槃、菩提,与一切能断除三界烦恼之法,均属无漏),那么通过断尽烦恼,他就成为真正的沙门。如果有人从婆罗门种姓家庭出家...从吠舍种姓家庭出家...从首陀罗种姓家庭出家...从任何种姓家庭出家,通过断尽烦恼,在现法中自己证知、实现、安住于无漏的心解脱、慧解脱,那么通过断尽烦恼,他就成为真正的沙门。"
佛陀说了这番话。那些比丘对佛陀的话感到欢喜,心悦诚服。
