第一千零四十七章 大摩罗迦经
中部64经/大摩罗迦经(比丘品[7])
这是我亲身听闻到的,一时,佛陀住在舍卫城的祇树林给孤独园。在那里,佛陀对比丘们说:"比丘们。"那些比丘回答说:"世尊。"
佛陀说道:"比丘们,你们是否记得如来所教导的五下分结?"
当这么说时,尊者摩罗迦子对世尊说:"尊者,我记得世尊所教导的五下分结(五下分结解释,见第六百五十七章)。"
"摩罗迦子,你是如何记得如来所教导的五下分结的呢?"
"世尊,我记得世尊教导身见是下分结(身见解释:就是执着有永远存在、永恒不变的「我」,对「我」执着挂念。由执着「我」生起各种见解、思想、念想。简单的说身见就是:对「自我」的执着和挂念);我记得世尊教导疑是下分结;我记得世尊教导戒禁取是下分结(戒禁取解释:对解脱毫无帮助的行为,禁忌的执着,比如不穿衣服裸露全身,以为这样的行为就能获得解脱,又比如不吃饭,不喝水以为这样的行为就能获得解脱等等做与解脱毫无帮助和毫无意义的行为,坚持遵守对解脱毫无意义的禁忌);我记得世尊教导欲贪是下分结;我记得世尊教导嗔恚是下分结(嗔恚解释:愤怒,生气)。世尊,我是这样记得世尊所教导的五下分结的。"
"摩罗迦子,你记得如来是为谁这样教导五下分结的吗?难道其他外道游方者不会用这种幼稚的比喻来责难你吗?因为,摩罗迦子,对于幼小的、愚昧的、仰卧的婴儿来说,'我'的概念都不存在,更何况会生起身见呢?但他潜在的身见倾向仍然存在。对于幼小的、愚昧的、仰卧的婴儿来说,'法'的概念都不存在,更何况会对法生起疑惑呢?但他潜在的疑惑倾向仍然存在。对于幼小的、愚昧的、仰卧的婴儿来说,'戒'的概念都不存在,更何况会对戒律产生戒禁取呢?但他潜在的戒禁取倾向仍然存在。对于幼小的、愚昧的、仰卧的婴儿来说,'欲'的概念都不存在,更何况会对欲望生起贪爱呢?但他潜在的欲贪倾向仍然存在。对于幼小的、愚昧的、仰卧的婴儿来说,'众生'的概念都不存在(众生解释:有生命的事物,详细解释见第三百八十八章),更何况会对众生生起嗔恚呢?但他潜在的嗔恚倾向仍然存在。摩罗迦子,难道其他外道游方者不会用这种幼稚的比喻来责难你吗?"
当这么说时,阿难尊者对佛陀说:"世尊,现在正是时候,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),现在正是时候,请世尊教导五下分结。听了世尊的教导,比丘们会牢记在心。"
"那么,阿难,你要仔细听,好好思考,如来要说了。""是的,世尊。"阿难尊者回答道。佛陀如此说:
"在这里,阿难,不曾听闻的凡夫,不见圣者,不知圣法,不善巧圣法,未在圣法中受训,不见善人,不知善人法,不善巧善人法,未在善人法中受训,他的心被身见所占据,被身见所控制;对于已生起的身见,他不如实了知出离之道。这种身见在他心中根深蒂固,未被去除,是下分结。他的心被疑惑所占据,被疑惑所控制;对于已生起的疑惑,他不如实了知出离之道。这种疑惑在他心中根深蒂固,未被去除,是下分结。他的心被戒禁取所占据,被戒禁取所控制;对于已生起的戒禁取,他不如实了知出离之道。这种戒禁取在他心中根深蒂固,未被去除,是下分结。他的心被欲贪所占据,被欲贪所控制;对于已生起的欲贪,他不如实了知出离之道。这种欲贪在他心中根深蒂固,未被去除,是下分结。他的心被嗔恚所占据,被嗔恚所控制;对于已生起的嗔恚,他不如实了知出离之道。这种嗔恚在他心中根深蒂固,未被去除,是下分结。
"而多闻圣弟子,阿难,见圣者,知圣法,善巧圣法,善受训于圣法,见善人,知善人法,善巧善人法,善受训于善人法,他的心不被身见所占据,不被身见所控制;对于已生起的身见,他如实了知出离之道。他的身见连同潜在倾向被断除。他的心不被疑惑所占据,不被疑惑所控制;对于已生起的疑惑,他如实了知出离之道。他的疑惑连同潜在倾向被断除。他的心不被戒禁取所占据,不被戒禁取所控制;对于已生起的戒禁取,他如实了知出离之道。他的戒禁取连同潜在倾向被断除。他的心不被欲贪所占据,不被欲贪所控制;对于已生起的欲贪,他如实了知出离之道。他的欲贪连同潜在倾向被断除。他的心不被嗔恚所占据,不被嗔恚所控制;对于已生起的嗔恚,他如实了知出离之道。他的嗔恚连同潜在倾向被断除。
"阿难,若不依靠能断除五下分结的道路和方法,就想要了知、看到或断除五下分结,这是不可能的。就好像,阿难,一棵粗大的、有心木的树,如果不砍断树皮和边材就想砍断心材,这是不可能的。同样地,阿难,若不依靠能断除五下分结的道路和方法,就想要了知、看到或断除五下分结,这是不可能的。
"阿难,若依靠能断除五下分结的道路和方法,就能了知、看到或断除五下分结,这是可能的。就好像,阿难,一棵粗大的、有心木的树,如果先砍断树皮和边材就能砍断心材,这是可能的。同样地,阿难,若依靠能断除五下分结的道路和方法,就能了知、看到或断除五下分结,这是可能的。
"阿难,就好像恒河水满溢,乌鸦能在岸边饮水。这时一个体弱的人来了,说:'我要横渡恒河,用手臂分开水流,安全地到达对岸。'但他不能横渡恒河,用手臂分开水流,安全地到达对岸。同样地,阿难,当为某些人说法,教导如何灭除'我'的概念时,他们的心不能接受、不能信服、不能安住、不能解脱;应当视他们如那个体弱的人。阿难,就好像恒河水满溢,乌鸦能在岸边饮水。这时一个强壮的人来了,说:'我要横渡恒河,用手臂分开水流,安全地到达对岸。'他能够横渡恒河,用手臂分开水流,安全地到达对岸。同样地,阿难,当为某些人说法,教导如何灭除'我'的概念时,他们的心能够接受、能够信服、能够安住、能够解脱;应当视他们如那个强壮的人。
"阿难,什么是断除五下分结的道路和方法呢?在这里,阿难,比丘远离依著,断除不善法,完全平息身体的粗重性,远离感官欲望,远离不善法,进入并安住于具有寻、伺,由离生喜、乐的初禅(有寻有伺解释,见第八百八十九章;初禅解释,见第一百五十五章)。他观察在初禅中存在的色、受、想、行、识等法(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),视它们为无常、苦、病、疮、箭、痛、疾、他者、败坏、空、无我。他使心从这些法中转离。转离后,他将心导向不死界:'这是寂静的,这是殊胜的,即一切行的平息,一切依著的舍离,爱的灭尽,离贪、灭、涅槃。'他安住于此,达到诸漏的灭尽(漏解释:烦恼,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);如果没有达到诸漏的灭尽,由于对法的贪爱,由于对法的喜悦,他断尽五下分结,成为化生者(化生解释:本无而忽生之意。即无所依托,借业力而出现者。凡化生者,不缺诸根支分,死亦不留其遗形,即所谓顿生而顿灭,故于四生中亦最胜。化生者,皆以爱染当生处而受其生),在那里般涅槃(般涅槃解释:进入最后的涅槃境界,不再生死轮回;生死轮回解释,见第五百七十八章),不再从那个世界回来。阿难,这也是断除五下分结的一种道路和方法。
"再者,阿难,比丘平息寻、伺,进入并安住于第二禅...第三禅...第四禅。他观察在禅定中存在的色、受、想、行、识等法,视它们为无常、苦、病、疮、箭、痛、疾、他者、败坏、空、无我。他使心从这些法中转离。转离后,他将心导向不死界:'这是寂静的,这是殊胜的,即一切行的平息,一切依著的舍离,爱的灭尽,离贪、灭、涅槃。'他安住于此,达到诸漏的灭尽;如果没有达到诸漏的灭尽,由于对法的贪爱,由于对法的喜悦,他断尽五下分结,成为化生者,在那里般涅槃,不再从那个世界回来。阿难,这也是断除五下分结的一种道路和方法。
"再者,阿难,比丘完全超越色想,灭除有对想,不作意种种想(色解释:物质事物;有对想解释:即是五根对五境接触碰撞生起念想,也就是由眼睛与物质事物,耳朵与声音,鼻子与气味,舌头与味道,身体与触觉生起念想),认为'空间无边',进入并安住于空无边处(空无边处解释,见第一百五十五章)。他观察在此处存在的受、想、行、识等法,视它们为无常、苦、病、疮、箭、痛、疾、他者、败坏、空、无我。他使心从这些法中转离。转离后,他将心导向不死界:'这是寂静的,这是殊胜的,即一切行的平息,一切依著的舍离,爱的灭尽,离贪、灭、涅槃。'他安住于此,达到诸漏的灭尽;如果没有达到诸漏的灭尽,由于对法的贪爱,由于对法的喜悦,他断尽五下分结,成为化生者,在那里般涅槃,不再从那个世界回来。阿难,这也是断除五下分结的一种道路和方法。
"再者,阿难,比丘完全超越空无边处,认为'识无边',进入并安住于识无边处(识无边处解释,见第一百五十五章)。他观察在此处存在的受、想、行、识等法,视它们为无常、苦、病、疮、箭、痛、疾、他者、败坏、空、无我。他使心从这些法中转离。转离后,他将心导向不死界:'这是寂静的,这是殊胜的,即一切行的平息,一切依著的舍离,爱的灭尽,离贪、灭、涅槃。'他安住于此,达到诸漏的灭尽;如果没有达到诸漏的灭尽,由于对法的贪爱,由于对法的喜悦,他断尽五下分结,成为化生者,在那里般涅槃,不再从那个世界回来。阿难,这也是断除五下分结的一种道路和方法。
"再者,阿难,比丘完全超越识无边处,认为'无所有',进入并安住于无所有处(无所有处解释,见第一百五十五章)。他观察在此处存在的受、想、行、识等法,视它们为无常、苦、病、疮、箭、痛、疾、他者、败坏、空、无我。他使心从这些法中转离。转离后,他将心导向不死界:'这是寂静的,这是殊胜的,即一切行的平息,一切依著的舍离,爱的灭尽,离贪、灭、涅槃。'他安住于此,达到诸漏的灭尽;如果没有达到诸漏的灭尽,由于对法的贪爱,由于对法的喜悦,他断尽五下分结,成为化生者,在那里般涅槃,不再从那个世界回来。阿难,这也是断除五下分结的一种道路和方法。"
"世尊,如果这是断除五下分结的道路和方法,那么为什么有些比丘是心解脱,有些比丘是慧解脱呢?"
"阿难,对此如来说是根器的差异。"
佛陀如此说。阿难尊者欢喜,随喜佛陀所说。
大摩罗迦经结束。
