第一千零五十五章 火婆蹉经
中部72经/火婆蹉经(游行者品[8])
这是我亲身听闻到的:有一次,佛陀住在舍卫城祇树给孤独园。那时,游方者婆蹉种前往佛陀所在之处。到达后,与佛陀互相问候。寒暄已毕,坐在一旁。坐在一旁的婆蹉种游方者对佛陀说:
"尊敬的乔达摩先生,您是否持有这样的见解:'世界是常恒的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'?"
"不,婆蹉,我不持有'世界是常恒的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'这样的见解。"
"那么,尊敬的乔达摩先生,您是否持有这样的见解:'世界是非常恒的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'?"
"不,婆蹉,我不持有'世界是非常恒的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'这样的见解。"
"尊敬的乔达摩先生,您是否持有这样的见解:'世界是有边际的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'?"
"不,婆蹉,我不持有'世界是有边际的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'这样的见解。"
"那么,尊敬的乔达摩先生,您是否持有这样的见解:'世界是无边际的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'?"
"不,婆蹉,我不持有'世界是无边际的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'这样的见解。"
"尊敬的乔达摩先生,您是否持有这样的见解:'生命与身体是同一的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'?"
"不,婆蹉,我不持有'生命与身体是同一的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'这样的见解。"
"那么,尊敬的乔达摩先生,您是否持有这样的见解:'生命与身体是不同的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'?"
"不,婆蹉,我不持有'生命与身体是不同的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'这样的见解。"
"尊敬的乔达摩先生,您是否持有这样的见解:'如来死后存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'?"
"不,婆蹉,我不持有'如来死后存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'这样的见解。"
"那么,尊敬的乔达摩先生,您是否持有这样的见解:'如来死后不存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'?"
"不,婆蹉,我不持有'如来死后不存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'这样的见解。"
"尊敬的乔达摩先生,您是否持有这样的见解:'如来死后既存在又不存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'?"
"不,婆蹉,我不持有'如来死后既存在又不存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'这样的见解。"
"那么,尊敬的乔达摩先生,您是否持有这样的见解:'如来死后既非存在又非不存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'?"
"不,婆蹉,我不持有'如来死后既非存在又非不存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的'这样的见解。"
"尊敬的乔达摩先生,当我问您'您是否持有"世界是常恒的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'时,您回答说'不,婆蹉,我不持有"世界是常恒的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'。当我问您'您是否持有"世界是非常恒的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'时,您回答说'不,婆蹉,我不持有"世界是非常恒的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'。当我问您'您是否持有"世界是有边际的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'时,您回答说'不,婆蹉,我不持有"世界是有边际的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'。当我问您'您是否持有"世界是无边际的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'时,您回答说'不,婆蹉,我不持有"世界是无边际的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'。当我问您'您是否持有"生命与身体是同一的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'时,您回答说'不,婆蹉,我不持有"生命与身体是同一的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'。当我问您'您是否持有"生命与身体是不同的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'时,您回答说'不,婆蹉,我不持有"生命与身体是不同的,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'。当我问您'您是否持有"如来死后存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'时,您回答说'不,婆蹉,我不持有"如来死后存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'。
当我问您'您是否持有"如来死后不存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'时,您回答说'不,婆蹉,我不持有"如来死后不存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'。当我问您'您是否持有"如来死后既存在又不存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'时,您回答说'不,婆蹉,我不持有"如来死后既存在又不存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'。当我问您'您是否持有"如来死后既非存在又非不存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'时,您回答说'不,婆蹉,我不持有"如来死后既非存在又非不存在,唯此为真,其他都是虚妄的"这样的见解'。
尊敬的乔达摩先生,您看到这些见解有什么过患,以至于您完全不接受这些见解?"
"婆蹉,'世界是常恒的'这是一种见解,是见解的丛林,见解的荒野,见解的歪曲,见解的动摇,见解的束缚。它伴随着苦,伴随着烦恼,伴随着忧虑,伴随着热恼,不导向厌离,不导向离贪,不导向寂灭,不导向止息,不导向证知,不导向正觉,不导向涅槃。'世界是非常恒的'...,'世界是有边际的'...,'世界是无边际的'...,'生命与身体是同一的'...,'生命与身体是不同的'...,'如来死后存在'...,'如来死后不存在'...,'如来死后既存在又不存在'...,'如来死后既非存在又非不存在',这是一种见解,是见解的丛林,见解的荒野,见解的歪曲,见解的动摇,见解的束缚。它伴随着苦,伴随着烦恼,伴随着忧虑,伴随着热恼,不导向厌离,不导向离贪,不导向寂灭,不导向止息,不导向证知,不导向正觉,不导向涅槃。婆蹉,我看到这些见解有这些过患,所以我完全不接受这些见解。"
"那么,尊敬的乔达摩先生,您有任何见解吗?"
"婆蹉,'见解'这个概念已经被如来舍弃了。因为,婆蹉,如来已经看到:'这是色(色解释:物质事物,物质身体),这是色的生起,这是色的灭尽;这是受,这是受的生起,这是受的灭尽;这是想,这是想的生起,这是想的灭尽;这是行,这是行的生起,这是行的灭尽;这是识(识解释:识蕴指意识,是认知的基础,包括眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意六种识),这是识的生起,这是识的灭尽'。因此,我说,如来通过灭尽、离贪、寂灭、舍离、放下一切臆想、一切动摇、一切我慢(我慢解释:我慢是指一种基于对自我的错误认知而产生的优越感或自负心理。它源于对我的执着,并导致与他人比较时产生的高傲心理)、我执和潜在的我执倾向而解脱,不再执取。"
"但是,尊敬的乔达摩先生,这样心解脱的比丘会投生到哪里呢?"
"婆蹉,'投生'这个概念不适用。"
"那么,尊敬的乔达摩先生,他不投生?"
"婆蹉,'不投生'这个概念不适用。"
"那么,尊敬的乔达摩先生,他既投生又不投生?"
"婆蹉,'既投生又不投生'这个概念不适用。"
"那么,尊敬的乔达摩先生,他既不投生又不是不投生?"
"婆蹉,'既不投生又不是不投生'这个概念不适用。"
"尊敬的乔达摩先生,当我问'这样心解脱的比丘会投生到哪里'时,您说'投生'这个概念不适用。当我问'那么,他不投生?'时,您说'不投生'这个概念不适用。当我问'那么,他既投生又不投生?'时,您说'既投生又不投生'这个概念不适用。当我问'那么,他既不投生又不是不投生?'时,您说'既不投生又不是不投生'这个概念不适用。尊敬的乔达摩先生,在这里我感到困惑,在这里我感到迷茫。我之前通过与您的对话所获得的一点信心,现在也消失了。"
"婆蹉,你应该感到困惑!你应该感到迷茫!这个法是深奥的,难见难解的,寂静、殊胜,超越推理,精妙,只有智者才能体验。对于你这样持有不同见解、不同信念、不同爱好、不同修行和不同导师的人来说,这是难以理解的。"
"那么,婆蹉,我现在反过来问你,你可以随意回答。婆蹉,你怎么认为,如果在你面前有一团火在燃烧,你会知道'在我面前有一团火在燃烧'吗?"
"尊敬的乔达摩先生,如果在我面前有一团火在燃烧,我会知道'在我面前有一团火在燃烧'。"
"婆蹉,如果有人问你:'这团在你面前燃烧的火是依靠什么在燃烧?'被这样问到时,你会怎么回答?"
"尊敬的乔达摩先生,如果有人这样问我:'这团在你面前燃烧的火是依靠什么在燃烧?'我会这样回答:'这团在我面前燃烧的火是依靠草和木柴在燃烧'。"
"婆蹉,如果你面前的那团火熄灭了,你会知道'我面前的那团火熄灭了'吗?"
"尊敬的乔达摩先生,如果我面前的那团火熄灭了,我会知道'我面前的那团火熄灭了'。"
"婆蹉,如果有人问你:'你面前那团熄灭的火去了哪个方向--东方、南方、西方还是北方?'被这样问到时,你会怎么回答?"
"这不适用,尊敬的乔达摩先生。因为那团火是依靠草和木柴燃烧的,当燃料耗尽,没有新的燃料补充,就被认为是无食而熄灭了。"
"同样地,婆蹉,如来已经舍弃了用来描述如来的色,已经切断它的根,使它像无根的棕榈树桩,使它不再生长,将来不再生起。婆蹉,如来已经从色的束缚中解脱,他是深奥的,不可测量的,难以探究的,就像大海一样。'投生'这个概念不适用,'不投生'这个概念不适用,'既投生又不投生'这个概念不适用,'既不投生又不是不投生'这个概念不适用。
如来已经舍弃了用来描述如来的受,已经切断它的根,使它像无根的棕榈树桩,使它不再生长,将来不再生起。婆蹉,如来已经从受的束缚中解脱,他是深奥的,不可测量的,难以探究的,就像大海一样。'投生'这个概念不适用,'不投生'这个概念不适用,'既投生又不投生'这个概念不适用,'既不投生又不是不投生'这个概念不适用。
如来已经舍弃了用来描述如来的想,已经切断它的根,使它像无根的棕榈树桩,使它不再生长,将来不再生起。婆蹉,如来已经从想的束缚中解脱,他是深奥的,不可测量的,难以探究的,就像大海一样。'投生'这个概念不适用,'不投生'这个概念不适用,'既投生又不投生'这个概念不适用,'既不投生又不是不投生'这个概念不适用。
如来已经舍弃了用来描述如来的行,已经切断它们的根,使它们像无根的棕榈树桩,使它们不再生长,将来不再生起。婆蹉,如来已经从行的束缚中解脱,他是深奥的,不可测量的,难以探究的,就像大海一样。'投生'这个概念不适用,'不投生'这个概念不适用,'既投生又不投生'这个概念不适用,'既不投生又不是不投生'这个概念不适用。
如来已经舍弃了用来描述如来的识,已经切断它的根,使它像无根的棕榈树桩,使它不再生长,将来不再生起。婆蹉,如来已经从识的束缚中解脱,他是深奥的,不可测量的,难以探究的,就像大海一样。'投生'这个概念不适用,'不投生'这个概念不适用,'既投生又不投生'这个概念不适用,'既不投生又不是不投生'这个概念不适用。"
听到这番话后,婆蹉种游方者对佛陀说:"尊敬的乔达摩先生,就像在村庄或市镇附近有一棵大沙罗树。由于无常(无常解释:指一切现象都处于持续变化的状态,没有任何事物是永恒或固定不变的),它的枝叶会脱落,它的树皮和外层会脱落,它的内层也会脱落。之后,它就只剩下纯粹的树心。同样地,尊敬的乔达摩先生的教导也已经脱落了枝叶,脱落了树皮和外层,脱落了内层,只剩下纯粹的精华。太奇妙了,尊敬的乔达摩先生!...请接受我为优婆塞,从今天起终生皈依。"
火婆蹉经结束。
