第一千零八十章 陀然沙尼经
中部97经/陀然沙尼经(婆罗门品[10])
这是我亲身听闻到的:一时,世尊住在王舍城竹林松鼠栖息处。那时,尊者舍利弗与一大比丘众在南山游行。当时,一位在王舍城度过雨安居的比丘来到南山(雨安居解释:夏安居、雨安居、坐夏、夏坐、结夏、坐腊、一夏九旬、九旬禁足、结制安居、结制。印度夏季之雨期达三月之久。此三个月间,出家人禁止外出而聚居一处以致力修行,称为安居。此系唯恐雨季期间外出,踩杀地面之虫类及草树之新芽,招引世讥,故聚集修行,避免外出),来到尊者舍利弗处。到达后,与尊者舍利弗互相问候。互相问候寒暄后,坐在一旁。坐在一旁的那位比丘,尊者舍利弗如是问道:"贤友,世尊是否健康强壮?"
"贤友,世尊健康强壮。"
"贤友,比丘僧团是否健康强壮?"
"贤友,比丘僧团也健康强壮。"
"贤友,在这里稻谷市场门处有一位名叫陀然沙尼的婆罗门。贤友,陀然沙尼婆罗门是否健康强壮?"
"贤友,陀然沙尼婆罗门也健康强壮。"
"贤友,陀然沙尼婆罗门是否不放逸?"
"贤友,陀然沙尼婆罗门哪里会不放逸呢?陀然沙尼婆罗门依靠国王掠夺婆罗门和居士(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;刹帝利解释: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;居士解释:没有出家,在家修行的人),依靠婆罗门和居士掠夺国王。他那位有信仰的、从有信仰家族嫁来的妻子已经去世了;他又娶了一位没有信仰的、从没有信仰家族嫁来的妻子。"
"贤友,我们听到了不好的消息,贤友,我们听到了不好的消息。我们听说陀然沙尼婆罗门放逸了。也许有朝一日我们能与陀然沙尼婆罗门相会,也许能有一些交谈。"
然后尊者舍利弗在南山随意住了一段时间后,向王舍城方向游行。逐渐游行,到达了王舍城。在那里,尊者舍利弗住在王舍城竹林松鼠栖息处。
然后尊者舍利弗在上午时分,穿好衣服,拿着钵和外衣,进入王舍城乞食。那时,陀然沙尼婆罗门正在城外的牛栏挤牛奶。然后尊者舍利弗在王舍城乞食完毕,饭后返回,来到陀然沙尼婆罗门处。陀然沙尼婆罗门远远地看见尊者舍利弗走来。看见后,来到尊者舍利弗处,到达后对尊者舍利弗说:"尊者舍利弗,请喝些牛奶,还有时间吃饭。"
"够了,婆罗门。我今天已经用过餐了。我将在某棵树下午休。你可以到那里来。"
"是的,尊者。"陀然沙尼婆罗门回答尊者舍利弗。
然后陀然沙尼婆罗门吃完早餐后,来到尊者舍利弗处。到达后,与尊者舍利弗互相问候。互相问候寒暄后,坐在一旁。坐在一旁的陀然沙尼婆罗门,尊者舍利弗如是说:"陀然沙尼,你是否不放逸?"
"尊者舍利弗,我们哪里能不放逸呢?我们要赡养父母,要赡养妻儿,要赡养奴仆工人,要为亲友尽朋友义务,要为亲属尽亲属义务,要为客人尽待客义务,要为祖先尽祭祀义务,要为天神尽供养义务,要为国王尽纳税义务,还要滋养这个身体。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,假如有人为了父母而非法行为、不正行为,因为这种非法行为、不正行为,狱卒们将他拖入地狱。他能否说:'我是为了父母而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把我拖入地狱'?或者他的父母能否说:'他是为了我们而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把他拖入地狱'?"

"不能,尊者舍利弗。即使他哭喊,狱卒们也会把他扔进地狱。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,假如有人为了奴仆工人而非法行为、不正行为,因为这种非法行为、不正行为,狱卒们将他拖入地狱。他能否说:'我是为了奴仆工人而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把我拖入地狱'?或者他的奴仆工人能否说:'他是为了我们而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把他拖入地狱'?"
"不能,尊者舍利弗。即使他哭喊,狱卒们也会把他扔进地狱。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,假如有人为了朋友而非法行为、不正行为,因为这种非法行为、不正行为,狱卒们将他拖入地狱。他能否说:'我是为了朋友而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把我拖入地狱'?或者他的朋友能否说:'他是为了我们而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把他拖入地狱'?"
"不能,尊者舍利弗。即使他哭喊,狱卒们也会把他扔进地狱。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,假如有人为了亲属而非法行为、不正行为,因为这种非法行为、不正行为,狱卒们将他拖入地狱。他能否说:'我是为了亲属而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把我拖入地狱'?或者他的亲属能否说:'他是为了我们而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把他拖入地狱'?"
"不能,尊者舍利弗。即使他哭喊,狱卒们也会把他扔进地狱。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,假如有人为了客人而非法行为、不正行为,因为这种非法行为、不正行为,狱卒们将他拖入地狱。他能否说:'我是为了客人而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把我拖入地狱'?或者他的客人能否说:'他是为了我们而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把他拖入地狱'?"
"不能,尊者舍利弗。即使他哭喊,狱卒们也会把他扔进地狱。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,假如有人为了祖先而非法行为、不正行为,因为这种非法行为、不正行为,狱卒们将他拖入地狱。他能否说:'我是为了祖先而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把我拖入地狱'?或者他的祖先能否说:'他是为了我们而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把他拖入地狱'?"
"不能,尊者舍利弗。即使他哭喊,狱卒们也会把他扔进地狱。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,假如有人为了天神而非法行为、不正行为,因为这种非法行为、不正行为,狱卒们将他拖入地狱。他能否说:'我是为了天神而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把我拖入地狱'?或者天神能否说:'他是为了我们而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把他拖入地狱'?"
"不能,尊者舍利弗。即使他哭喊,狱卒们也会把他扔进地狱。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,假如有人为了国王而非法行为、不正行为,因为这种非法行为、不正行为,狱卒们将他拖入地狱。他能否说:'我是为了国王而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把我拖入地狱'?或者国王能否说:'他是为了我而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把他拖入地狱'?"
"不能,尊者舍利弗。即使他哭喊,狱卒们也会把他扔进地狱。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,假如有人为了滋养身体而非法行为、不正行为,因为这种非法行为、不正行为,狱卒们将他拖入地狱。他能否说:'我是为了滋养身体而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把我拖入地狱'?或者其他人能否说:'他是为了滋养身体而非法行为、不正行为的,请不要把他拖入地狱'?"
"不能,尊者舍利弗。即使他哭喊,狱卒们也会把他扔进地狱。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,一个为了父母而非法行为、不正行为的人,和一个为了父母而如法行为、正行为的人,哪一个更好?"
"尊者舍利弗,为了父母而非法行为、不正行为的人不好;为了父母而如法行为、正行为的人更好。尊者舍利弗,如法行为、正行为比非法行为、不正行为更好。"

然后,陀然沙尼婆罗门对尊者舍利弗的话表示赞同和随喜,从座位上起身离开。后来,陀然沙尼婆罗门生病了,痛苦难忍,病情严重。于是陀然沙尼婆罗门叫来一个人说:"来,朋友,你去世尊那里,到了之后,以我的名义顶礼世尊双足,说:'世尊,陀然沙尼婆罗门生病了,痛苦难忍,病情严重。他顶礼世尊双足。'然后去尊者舍利弗那里,到了之后,以我的名义顶礼尊者舍利弗双足,说:'尊者,陀然沙尼婆罗门生病了,痛苦难忍,病情严重。他顶礼尊者舍利弗双足。'然后这样说:'请尊者舍利弗发慈悲,到陀然沙尼婆罗门家里来。'"
"是的,先生。"那人回答陀然沙尼婆罗门后,就去世尊那里。到了之后,向世尊礼拜,坐在一旁。坐在一旁的那人对世尊说:"世尊,陀然沙尼婆罗门生病了,痛苦难忍,病情严重。他顶礼世尊双足。"然后他去尊者舍利弗那里。到了之后,向尊者舍利弗礼拜,坐在一旁。坐在一旁的那人对尊者舍利弗说:"尊者,陀然沙尼婆罗门生病了,痛苦难忍,病情严重。他顶礼尊者舍利弗双足,并这样说:'请尊者舍利弗发慈悲,到陀然沙尼婆罗门家里来。'"尊者舍利弗默然应允。
然后尊者舍利弗穿好衣服,拿着钵和外衣,去陀然沙尼婆罗门家。到了之后,坐在准备好的座位上。坐下后,尊者舍利弗对陀然沙尼婆罗门说:"陀然沙尼,你的病情如何?是否可以忍受?痛苦是否减轻而不加重?是否有好转的迹象而不是恶化?"
"尊者舍利弗,我的病情不好,无法忍受。剧烈的痛苦在加重,不见减轻。有恶化的迹象,不见好转。尊者舍利弗,就像一个强壮的人用尖锐的矛刺我的头一样,我感到极度的头痛。尊者舍利弗,我的病情不好,无法忍受。剧烈的痛苦在加重,不见减轻。有恶化的迹象,不见好转。尊者舍利弗,就像一个强壮的人用结实的皮带勒紧我的头一样,我感到极度的头痛。尊者舍利弗,我的病情不好,无法忍受。剧烈的痛苦在加重,不见减轻。有恶化的迹象,不见好转。尊者舍利弗,就像一个熟练的屠夫或屠夫的学徒用锋利的屠刀剖开腹部一样,我感到极度的腹痛。尊者舍利弗,我的病情不好,无法忍受。剧烈的痛苦在加重,不见减轻。有恶化的迹象,不见好转。尊者舍利弗,就像两个强壮的人抓住一个虚弱的人的手脚,放在炭火坑上烤一样,我感到全身灼热。尊者舍利弗,我的病情不好,无法忍受。剧烈的痛苦在加重,不见减轻。有恶化的迹象,不见好转。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,地狱和畜生道,哪一个更好?"
"尊者舍利弗,畜生道比地狱好。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,畜生道和饿鬼道,哪一个更好?"
"尊者舍利弗,饿鬼道比畜生道好。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,饿鬼道和人间,哪一个更好?"
"尊者舍利弗,人间比饿鬼道好。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,人间和四大天王天(四大天王天解释:系欲界六天中之第一,天处之最初。又称四大王众天、四天王天、四大天王众天。佛教之世界观中,于须弥山之第四层,有一山名由犍陀罗,山有四头,四天王及其部众各居其一,各镇护一天下,故称护世四天王、四镇,其居所则称‘四王天’。四天王即东面之持国天、南面之增长天、西面之广目天、北面之多闻天。四王天与忉利天合称为四王忉利),哪一个更好?"
"尊者舍利弗,四大天王天比人间好。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,四大天王天和三十三天(三十三天解释:六欲天之一。又作忉利天。于佛教之宇宙观中,此天位居欲界第二天之须弥山顶上,四面各为八万由旬,山顶之四隅各有一峰,高五百由旬,由金刚手药叉神守护此天。中央之宫殿(善见城)为帝释天所住,城外周围有四苑,是诸天众游乐之处。城之东北有圆生树,花开妙香薰远,城之西南有善法堂,诸天众群聚于此,评论法理。四方各有八城,加中央一城,合为三十三天城。据正法念经卷二十五载,佛母摩耶夫人命终后登入此天,佛乃至忉利天为母说法三个月。三十三天及焰摩天之信仰,早于印度吠陀时代即已盛行),哪一个更好?"
"尊者舍利弗,三十三天比四大天王天好。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,三十三天和夜摩天(夜摩天解释:意译为善时分、善时、善分、妙善、妙时分、妙唱、唱乐等。欲界六天之第三天。又作夜磨天、焰摩天、炎摩天、苏夜摩天、须夜摩天、须炎天、离诤天。据正法念处经卷三十六、立世阿毗昙论卷六、佛地经论卷五、慧苑音义卷上等所载,此天界光明赫奕,无昼夜之分,居于其中,时时刻刻受不可思议之欢乐。另据彰所知论卷上载,三十三天常与阿修罗诤斗,夜摩天却远离诤斗,故称离诤天。得生此天之众生,乃于不杀生、不偷盗、不邪淫等乐修多作,又自能持戒,教他持戒,修持自他利益者),哪一个更好?"
"尊者舍利弗,夜摩天比三十三天好。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,夜摩天和兜率天(兜率天解释:又作都率天、兜术天、兜率陀天、兜率多天、兜师陀天、睹史多天、兜驶多天。意译知足天、妙足天、喜足天、喜乐天。与夜摩天合称为兜夜。乃欲界六天之第四天,位于夜摩天与乐变化天之间,距夜摩天十六万由旬,在虚空密云之上,纵广八万由旬。关于此天之名,立世阿毗昙论卷六谓,欢乐饱满,于其资具满足,于八圣道不生知足,故称为兜率陀天。佛地经论卷五则谓,后身菩萨于中教化,多修喜足,故称为喜足天。此天有内外两院,兜率内院乃即将成佛者(即补处菩萨)之居处,今则为弥勒菩萨之净土;弥勒现亦为补处菩萨,于此宣说佛法,若住此天满四千岁,即下生人间,成佛于龙华树下。又昔时释迦如来身为菩萨时,亦从此天下生人间而成佛),哪一个更好?"
"尊者舍利弗,兜率天比夜摩天好。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,兜率天和化乐天,哪一个更好?"
"尊者舍利弗,化乐天比兜率天好(化乐天解释:音译作尼摩罗天、维那罗泥天。又作化自在天、化自乐天、不憍乐天、乐无慢天、无贡高天、乐变化天。乃欲界六天中之第五天,其上为他化自在天,下为兜率天。此天之人,自化五尘而自娱乐,故称化自乐。以人间八百岁为一日夜,寿长八千岁,身长八由旬,身具常光,男女互相熟视或相向而笑即成交媾,其子自男女膝上化生,甫生即大如人间十二岁之孩童。与夜摩天、兜率天、他化自在天等,俱以长寿、端正、多乐三事胜阎浮提)。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,化乐天和他化自在天(他化自在天解释:音译作波罗尼蜜和耶越致、波罗尼蜜、波罗维摩婆奢、娑舍跋提。又译作他化乐天、他化自转天、化应声天。单称自在天、他化天、化他天,或第六天。即六欲天之第六天。此天假他所化之乐事以成己乐,故称他化自在天。大智度论卷九:‘此天夺他所化而自娱乐,故言他化自在。’即于他化之中得自在。此天为欲界之主,与色界之主摩醯首罗天,皆为娆害正法之魔王,乃四魔中之天魔,有‘第六天魔王’之称。又据长阿含经卷二十忉利天品载,第六天上别有纵广六千由旬之天魔宫殿。大智度论卷五:‘魔有四种(中略)。四者,他化自在天子魔。’此天位于欲界天之最高所,在距大海百二十八万由旬虚空密云之上,纵广八万由旬,与忉利天同),哪一个更好?"
"尊者舍利弗,他化自在天比化乐天好。"
"陀然沙尼,你怎么认为,他化自在天和梵天界(梵天界解释:指色界之初禅天。略称梵界。系堵塞诸烦恼海之本源者,所生寂静梵天之世界。梵天界中,有梵众天、梵辅天等,亦总称之为梵身天或梵世天),哪一个更好?"
"尊者舍利弗说'梵天界'!尊者舍利弗说'梵天界'!"
然后尊者舍利弗心想:"这些婆罗门倾心于梵天界。我应该为陀然沙尼婆罗门教导与梵天同在的道路(梵天解释:意译清净、离欲。印度思想将万有之根源‘梵’,予以神格化,为婆罗门教、印度教之创造神,与湿婆、毗湿奴并称为婆罗门教与印度教之三大神。据摩奴法典所载,梵天出自金胎(梵卵),原有五头,其一头传为湿婆所毁,余四头,具四手,分别持吠陀经典、莲花、匙子,念珠或钵。佛教将其列为色界之初禅天。一般分为三种,即梵众天、梵辅天与大梵天,总称为梵天。其中,大梵天王统御梵众之人民、梵辅之辅弼臣。又通常所称之梵天大都指大梵天王,又称梵王,名为尸弃或世主。印度古传说中,为劫初时从光音天下生,造作万物,佛教中则以之与帝释天同为佛教之护法神。释尊曾升忉利天为母说法,下降此世时,梵王为佛之右胁侍,持白拂;或谓是梵天与摩罗王相合者。大梵天王身长为一由延半,寿命一劫半,其所住之宫殿,称为梵王宫。密教将其列为十二天之一,守护上方。密教之梵天像四面四臂,右手持莲花、数珠,左手执军持,作唵字印,乘七鹅车,戴发髻冠。又供养大梵天之修法,称为梵天供)。"
"陀然沙尼,我将为你教导与梵天同在的道路。仔细听,好好思考,我要说了。"
"是的,尊者。"陀然沙尼婆罗门回答尊者舍利弗。尊者舍利弗说:"陀然沙尼,什么是与梵天同在的道路?在此,比丘以慈心遍满一方而住,如是第二方,如是第三方,如是第四方,如是上下四维一切处,对一切如对自己,以广大、无量、无怨、无害的慈心遍满全世界而住。陀然沙尼,这就是与梵天同在的道路。"
"再者,陀然沙尼,比丘以悲心...以喜心...以舍心遍满一方而住,如是第二方,如是第三方,如是第四方,如是上下四维一切处,对一切如对自己,以广大、无量、无怨、无害的舍心遍满全世界而住。陀然沙尼,这就是与梵天同在的道路。"
"那么,尊者舍利弗,请以我的名义顶礼世尊双足,说:'世尊,陀然沙尼婆罗门生病了,痛苦难忍,病情严重。他顶礼世尊双足。'"
然后尊者舍利弗在仍有更高要做的情况下,让陀然沙尼婆罗门安住于低劣的梵天界,从座位上起身离开。不久,陀然沙尼婆罗门去世了,往生梵天界。
然后世尊对比丘们说:"诸比丘,舍利弗在仍有更高要做的情况下,让陀然沙尼婆罗门安住于低劣的梵天界,就从座位上起身离开了。"
然后尊者舍利弗来到世尊处。到了之后,向世尊礼拜,坐在一旁。坐在一旁的尊者舍利弗对世尊说:"世尊,陀然沙尼婆罗门生病了,痛苦难忍,病情严重。他顶礼世尊双足。"
"舍利弗,为什么你在仍有更高要做的情况下,让陀然沙尼婆罗门安住于低劣的梵天界,就从座位上起身离开了呢?"
"世尊,我心想:'这些婆罗门倾心于梵天界。我应该为陀然沙尼婆罗门教导与梵天同在的道路。'"
"舍利弗,陀然沙尼婆罗门已经去世,往生梵天界了。"
