第一千零四十五章 教诫罗睺罗大经
中部62经/教诫罗睺罗大经(比丘品[7])
这是我亲身听闻到的,有个时候,佛陀住在舍卫城的祇树林给孤独园。那时,佛陀在上午穿好衣服,拿着钵和袈裟,进入舍卫城乞食。罗睺罗尊者也在上午穿好衣服,拿着钵和袈裟,跟随在佛陀身后。这时,佛陀回头对罗睺罗尊者说:"罗睺罗,任何色(色解释:物质事物)——无论是过去、未来、现在,内在或外在,粗大或微细,低劣或高尚,远或近——一切色都应以正慧如实观察:'这不是我的,这不是我,这不是我的自我'。"
"世尊,只是色吗?善逝(善逝解释:又作善去、善解、善说无患、好说、好去。意即进入种种甚深三摩提与无量妙智慧中),只是色吗?"
"罗睺罗,色,受,想,行,识(色,受,想,行,识即是五蕴,五蕴解释:物质身体,感受,念想思想,行为,认识分别判断)。"
于是罗睺罗尊者想:"今天谁会在当面受到世尊的教诫后还进村乞食呢?"于是他转回,在一棵树下坐下,结跏趺坐(结跏趺坐解释:坐法之一。又作结加趺坐、结跏跗坐、跏趺正坐、跏趺坐、加趺坐、跏坐、结坐。即互交二足,结跏安坐。又称交一足为半跏趺坐、半跏坐、半跏、贤坐;称交二足为全跏坐、本跏坐、全跏、大坐、莲华坐。其坐法即双膝弯曲,两足掌向上之形式,可分为降魔、吉祥二种:1.先以右足压左股,后以左足压右股,二足掌仰于二股之上,手亦左手居上,称为降魔坐。天台、禅宗等显教诸宗多传此坐。2.先以左足压右股,后以右足压左股,手亦右手压左手,称为吉祥坐。密宗亦称之为莲花坐。如来于菩提树下成正觉时,身安吉祥之坐,手作降魔印。此多于密教中行之,盖以右足表示佛界,左足表示众生界。以右足压左足,乃佛界摄取众生界,众生界归佛界之意,即表示生佛不二之义),保持身体正直,建立正念。
舍利弗尊者看见罗睺罗尊者坐在一棵树下,结跏趺坐,保持身体正直,建立正念。看见后,对罗睺罗尊者说:"罗睺罗,修习入出息念(入出息念解释:专注呼吸的修行方法,见第八百八十三章)。罗睺罗,入出息念若修习、多修习,会有大果、大利益。"
傍晚时分,罗睺罗尊者从独处起来,去到佛陀那里。到了之后,礼敬佛陀,然后坐在一旁。坐在一旁的罗睺罗尊者对佛陀说:"世尊,如何修习入出息念?如何多修习才会有大果、大利益?"
"罗睺罗,凡是内在的、个人的、坚硬的、固体的、被执取的,即:发、毛、指甲、牙齿、皮肤、肌肉、筋腱、骨骼、骨髓、肾脏、心脏、肝脏、膜、脾脏、肺、肠、肠间膜、胃中物、粪便,或其他任何内在的、个人的、坚硬的、固体的、被执取的——罗睺罗,这被称为内地界。凡是内地界和外地界,那只是地界。应以正慧如实观察:'这不是我的,这不是我,这不是我的自我'。如此以正慧如实观察后,就会厌离地界,心会从地界离贪。"
"罗睺罗,什么是水界?水界可能是内在的,也可能是外在的。罗睺罗,什么是内在的水界?凡是内在的、个人的、水、水性的、被执取的,即:胆汁、痰、脓、血、汗、脂肪、泪、油脂、唾液、鼻涕、关节滑液、尿,或其他任何内在的、个人的、水、水性的、被执取的——罗睺罗,这被称为内水界。凡是内水界和外水界,那只是水界。应以正慧如实观察:'这不是我的,这不是我,这不是我的自我'。如此以正慧如实观察后,就会厌离水界,心会从水界离贪。"
"罗睺罗,什么是火界?火界可能是内在的,也可能是外在的。罗睺罗,什么是内在的火界?凡是内在的、个人的、火、火性的、被执取的,即:使身体温暖的,使身体衰老的,使身体发热的,使所食、所饮、所嚼、所尝的得以良好消化的,或其他任何内在的、个人的、火、火性的、被执取的——罗睺罗,这被称为内火界。凡是内火界和外火界,那只是火界。应以正慧如实观察:'这不是我的,这不是我,这不是我的自我'。如此以正慧如实观察后,就会厌离火界,心会从火界离贪。"
"罗睺罗,什么是风界?风界可能是内在的,也可能是外在的。罗睺罗,什么是内在的风界?凡是内在的、个人的、风、风性的、被执取的,即:上行风、下行风、腹中风、肠中风、遍身流动的风、入息、出息,或其他任何内在的、个人的、风、风性的、被执取的——罗睺罗,这被称为内风界。凡是内风界和外风界,那只是风界。应以正慧如实观察:'这不是我的,这不是我,这不是我的自我'。如此以正慧如实观察后,就会厌离风界,心会从风界离贪。"
"罗睺罗,什么是空界?空界可能是内在的,也可能是外在的。罗睺罗,什么是内在的空界?凡是内在的、个人的、空、空性的、被执取的,即:耳孔、鼻孔、口腔,以及所食、所饮、所嚼、所尝的通过之处,所食、所饮、所嚼、所尝的停留之处,所食、所饮、所嚼、所尝的排出之处,或其他任何内在的、个人的、空、空性的、孔洞、孔洞性的、不被肉与血接触的、被执取的——罗睺罗,这被称为内空界。凡是内空界和外空界,那只是空界。应以正慧如实观察:'这不是我的,这不是我,这不是我的自我'。如此以正慧如实观察后,就会厌离空界,心会从空界离贪。"
"罗睺罗,修习地一样的禅修。罗睺罗,如果你修习地一样的禅修,生起的可意、不可意触不会占据你的心。罗睺罗,就像人们把干净的东西、不干净的东西、粪便、尿液、唾液、脓液、血液丢在地上,地不会因此而烦恼、羞耻或厌恶。同样地,罗睺罗,你要修习地一样的禅修。罗睺罗,如果你修习地一样的禅修,生起的可意、不可意触不会占据你的心。"
"罗睺罗,修习水一样的禅修。罗睺罗,如果你修习水一样的禅修,生起的可意、不可意触不会占据你的心。罗睺罗,就像人们在水中洗干净的东西、不干净的东西、粪便、尿液、唾液、脓液、血液,水不会因此而烦恼、羞耻或厌恶。同样地,罗睺罗,你要修习水一样的禅修。罗睺罗,如果你修习水一样的禅修,生起的可意、不可意触不会占据你的心。"
"罗睺罗,修习火一样的禅修。罗睺罗,如果你修习火一样的禅修,生起的可意、不可意触不会占据你的心。罗睺罗,就像火烧干净的东西、不干净的东西、粪便、尿液、唾液、脓液、血液,火不会因此而烦恼、羞耻或厌恶。同样地,罗睺罗,你要修习火一样的禅修。罗睺罗,如果你修习火一样的禅修,生起的可意、不可意触不会占据你的心。"
"罗睺罗,修习风一样的禅修。罗睺罗,如果你修习风一样的禅修,生起的可意、不可意触不会占据你的心。罗睺罗,就像风吹干净的东西、不干净的东西、粪便、尿液、唾液、脓液、血液,风不会因此而烦恼、羞耻或厌恶。同样地,罗睺罗,你要修习风一样的禅修。罗睺罗,如果你修习风一样的禅修,生起的可意、不可意触不会占据你的心。"
"罗睺罗,修习空一样的禅修。罗睺罗,如果你修习空一样的禅修,生起的可意、不可意触不会占据你的心。罗睺罗,就像空不依附于任何地方,同样地,罗睺罗,你要修习空一样的禅修。罗睺罗,如果你修习空一样的禅修,生起的可意、不可意触不会占据你的心。"
"罗睺罗,修习慈心。罗睺罗,如果你修习慈心,瞋恨就会被断除(瞋恨解释:愤怒憎恨)。罗睺罗,修习悲心。罗睺罗,如果你修习悲心,伤害就会被断除。罗睺罗,修习喜心。罗睺罗,如果你修习喜心,不悦就会被断除。罗睺罗,修习舍心。罗睺罗,如果你修习舍心,嗔恚就会被断除(嗔恚解释:愤怒,生气)。罗睺罗,修习不净观(不净观解释,见第七百一十七章)。罗睺罗,如果你修习不净观,贪欲就会被断除。罗睺罗,修习无常想(无常解释:无法永恒存在,无法永远保持不变,随时在变化)。罗睺罗,如果你修习无常想,我慢就会被断除(我慢解释:谓视‘我’为一己之中心,由此所执之‘我’而形成憍慢心,自高自大,侮慢他人)。"
"罗睺罗,修习入出息念。罗睺罗,入出息念若修习、多修习,会有大果、大利益。罗睺罗,如何修习入出息念?如何多修习才会有大果、大利益?在这里,罗睺罗,比丘到林中、树下或空闲处,结跏趺坐,保持身体正直,建立正念。他正念地呼气,正念地吸气。"
"长呼气时,他了知:'我在长呼气';长吸气时,他了知:'我在长吸气'。短呼气时,他了知:'我在短呼气';短吸气时,他了知:'我在短吸气'。他学习:'我将觉知全身而呼气';他学习:'我将觉知全身而吸气'。他学习:'我将平静身行而呼气';他学习:'我将平静身行而吸气'。"
"他学习:'我将觉知喜而呼气';他学习:'我将觉知喜而吸气'。他学习:'我将觉知乐而呼气';他学习:'我将觉知乐而吸气'。他学习:'我将觉知心行而呼气';他学习:'我将觉知心行而吸气'。他学习:'我将平静心行而呼气';他学习:'我将平静心行而吸气'。"
"他学习:'我将觉知心而呼气';他学习:'我将觉知心而吸气'。他学习:'我将令心欢喜而呼气';他学习:'我将令心欢喜而吸气'。他学习:'我将令心专注而呼气';他学习:'我将令心专注而吸气'。他学习:'我将令心解脱而呼气';他学习:'我将令心解脱而吸气'。"
"他学习:'我将观无常而呼气';他学习:'我将观无常而吸气'。他学习:'我将观离贪而呼气';他学习:'我将观离贪而吸气'。他学习:'我将观灭而呼气';他学习:'我将观灭而吸气'。他学习:'我将观舍离而呼气';他学习:'我将观舍离而吸气'。"
"罗睺罗,这样修习入出息念,这样多修习,会有大果、大利益。罗睺罗,当这样修习入出息念,这样多修习时,即使最后的呼吸止息,也是觉知的,不是不觉知的。"
佛陀如是说。罗睺罗尊者满意欢喜佛陀所说。
