第一千一百零五章 大空性经
中部122经/大空性经(空品[13])
这是我亲身听闻到的。一时,世尊住在释迦族的迦毗罗卫城尼拘律园。那时,世尊在上午穿好衣服,拿着钵和衣进入迦毗罗卫城乞食。在迦毗罗卫城乞食完毕,饭后返回,来到释迦族人迦罗克马的住处,打算在那里度过中午。当时,在迦罗克马的住处铺设了许多座位。世尊看到迦罗克马住处铺设了许多座位,便想:"在迦罗克马的住处铺设了这么多座位,这里是不是住着很多比丘呢?"
那时,尊者阿难和许多比丘一起在释迦族人伽塔的住处缝制衣服。傍晚时分,世尊从禅思中出来,来到伽塔的住处。来到后,坐在准备好的座位上。坐下后,世尊对尊者阿难说:"阿难,在迦罗克马的住处铺设了许多座位。那里是不是住着很多比丘呢?""尊者,在迦罗克马的住处确实铺设了许多座位。那里住着很多比丘。我们现在正处在制作衣服的时期。"
"阿难,比丘不应喜欢群居,乐于群居,致力于群居之乐,喜欢成群,乐于成群,沉溺于群体。阿难,比丘如果喜欢群居,乐于群居,致力于群居之乐,喜欢成群,乐于成群,沉溺于群体,那么他不可能轻易地、不费力地、不困难地获得出离之乐、远离之乐、寂静之乐、正觉之乐,这是不可能的。但是,阿难,如果比丘独处,远离群众而住,那么他有可能轻易地、不费力地、不困难地获得出离之乐、远离之乐、寂静之乐、正觉之乐,这是可能的。
"阿难,比丘如果喜欢群居,乐于群居,致力于群居之乐,喜欢成群,乐于成群,沉溺于群体,那么他不可能获得暂时的或永久的可意的心解脱,这是不可能的。但是,阿难,如果比丘独处,远离群众而住,那么他有可能获得暂时的或永久的可意的心解脱,这是可能的。
"阿难,我不见有任何色(色解释:物质事物,物质身体),对于贪著、沉迷于此色的人,当此色变异、改变时,不会生起忧、悲、苦、忧恼、绝望。
"阿难,如来已证悟了这种住处,即:不作意一切相,内心安住于空性。阿难,如果如来住于此处时,有比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷(优婆塞解释:没有出家,男性在家修行佛弟子;优婆夷解释:没有出家,女性在家修行佛弟子)、国王、大臣、外道或外道弟子前来拜访,那么如来以倾向远离、趋向远离、倾斜远离、独处、乐于出离、远离一切烦恼之处的心,只与他们谈论鼓励远离的话题。因此,阿难,如果比丘希望'我要内心安住于空性',那么这位比丘应该使内心安住、平静、专一、集中。
"阿难,比丘如何使内心安住、平静、专一、集中呢?在这里,阿难,比丘远离爱欲,远离不善法,进入并安住于初禅⋯⋯第二禅⋯⋯第三禅⋯⋯第四禅(初禅,第二禅,第三禅,第四禅解释,见第一百五十五章)。阿难,这就是比丘如何使内心安住、平静、专一、集中。他作意于内空性。当他作意于内空性时,他的心不趣向内空性,不信解,不安住,不解脱。阿难,当这种情况发生时,比丘应该这样了知:'我作意于内空性,但我的心不趣向内空性,不信解,不安住,不解脱。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。他作意于外空性⋯⋯他作意于内外空性⋯⋯他作意于不动。当他作意于不动时,他的心不趣向不动,不信解,不安住,不解脱。阿难,当这种情况发生时,比丘应该这样了知:'我作意于不动,但我的心不趣向不动,不信解,不安住,不解脱。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。
"阿难,那么这位比丘应该在之前的定相中使内心安住、平静、专一、集中。他作意于内空性。当他作意于内空性时,他的心趣向内空性,信解,安住,解脱。阿难,当这种情况发生时,比丘应该这样了知:'我作意于内空性,我的心趣向内空性,信解,安住,解脱。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。他作意于外空性⋯⋯他作意于内外空性⋯⋯他作意于不动。当他作意于不动时,他的心趣向不动,信解,安住,解脱。阿难,当这种情况发生时,比丘应该这样了知:'我作意于不动,我的心趣向不动,信解,安住,解脱。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。
"阿难,如果这位比丘住于此处,心倾向于经行(经行解释:意指在一定的场所中往复回旋之行走。通常在食后、疲倦时,或坐禅昏沉瞌睡时,即起而经行,为一种调剂身心之安静散步。据大比丘三千威仪经卷上所载,适于经行之地有五,即闲处、户前、讲堂之前、塔下、阁下。另据四分律卷五十九所说,时常经行能得五利:(一)能堪远行,(二) 能静思惟,(三)少病,(四)消食,(五)于定中得以久住),他就经行,想:'当我这样经行时,贪欲和忧恼这些恶不善法不会侵入我。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。阿难,如果这位比丘住于此处,心倾向于站立,他就站立,想:'当我这样站立时,贪欲和忧恼这些恶不善法不会侵入我。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。阿难,如果这位比丘住于此处,心倾向于坐下,他就坐下,想:'当我这样坐下时,贪欲和忧恼这些恶不善法不会侵入我。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。阿难,如果这位比丘住于此处,心倾向于躺下,他就躺下,想:'当我这样躺下时,贪欲和忧恼这些恶不善法不会侵入我。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。
"阿难,如果这位比丘住于此处,心倾向于谈话,他就想:'像这样的话题——关于国王、盗贼、大臣、军队、恐惧、战争、食物、饮料、衣服、床具、花环、香料、亲戚、车乘、村庄、城镇、城市、国家、女人、英雄、街道、井边的闲聊、关于逝者的谈论、杂谈、世界起源的推测、海洋起源的推测,以及有无的讨论——我不会说这样低级、粗俗、世俗、非圣贤、无益的话。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。但是,阿难,对于那些有助于心灵的净化,有助于去除心的障碍,导向完全厌离、离欲、止息、平静、证智、正觉、涅槃的谈话,如少欲论、知足论、远离论、不聚集论、精进论、戒律论、定力论、智慧论、解脱论、解脱知见论,他想:'我会说这样的话。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。
"阿难,如果这位比丘住于此处,心倾向于思考,他就想:'像这样低级、粗俗、世俗、非圣贤、无益,不导向厌离、离欲、止息、平静、证智、正觉、涅槃的思维,如欲望思维、恶意思维、伤害思维,我不会思考这样的思维。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。但是,阿难,对于那些高尚的、出离的、导向正确苦灭的思维,如出离思维、无恶意思维、无伤害思维,他想:'我会思考这样的思维。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。
"阿难,有这五种欲望对象。哪五种?眼所识的色,令人喜爱、可意、悦意、爱好、与欲有关、诱人;耳所识的声⋯⋯鼻所识的香⋯⋯舌所识的味⋯⋯身所识的触,令人喜爱、可意、悦意、爱好、与欲有关、诱人。阿难,这就是五种欲望对象,比丘应该经常反省自己的心:'我的心是否在这五种欲望对象中的任何一种上生起任何情感波动?'阿难,如果比丘在反省时发现:'我的心确实在这五种欲望对象中的某一种上生起情感波动',那么,阿难,比丘应该这样了知:'我对这五种欲望对象的贪欲和执著还没有断除。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。但是,阿难,如果比丘在反省时发现:'我的心在这五种欲望对象中的任何一种上都没有生起情感波动',那么,阿难,比丘应该这样了知:'我对这五种欲望对象的贪欲和执著已经断除了。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。
"阿难,有这五种取蕴,比丘应该以生灭的角度来观察它们:'这是色,这是色的生起,这是色的消失;这是受⋯⋯这是想⋯⋯这是行⋯⋯这是识,这是识的生起,这是识的消失。'当他这样以生灭的角度观察这五种取蕴时,他对这五种取蕴的'我慢'就会被断除(五取蕴解释,见第六百三十六章)。当这种情况发生时,阿难,比丘应该这样了知:'我对这五种取蕴的"我慢"已经断除了。'这样,他在这方面保持正知。阿难,这些法是完全善的,有善的本质,是圣洁的、出世间的,不受恶魔侵扰的。
"阿难,你认为弟子看到什么理由,值得跟随导师,即使被赶走也要跟随?"
"尊者,我们的法以世尊为根本,以世尊为向导,以世尊为依归。善哉,世尊!请为我们解释这段话的含义。听了世尊的解释,比丘们就会记住。"
"阿难,弟子不应该为了经、应颂、记说而跟随导师。为什么?因为,阿难,你长期以来已经听闻这些法,记住了,用语言熟悉了,在心中思考了,以见解深入了解了。但是,阿难,对于那些有助于心灵的净化,有助于去除心的障碍,导向完全厌离、离欲、止息、平静、证智、正觉、涅槃的谈话,如少欲论、知足论、远离论、不聚集论、精进论、戒律论、定力论、智慧论、解脱论、解脱知见论,为了这样的谈话,弟子值得跟随导师,即使被赶走也要跟随。
"阿难,在这种情况下,会出现老师的困扰,弟子的困扰,同修的困扰。
"阿难,什么是老师的困扰?在这里,阿难,某位老师选择隐居处——森林、树下、山中、峡谷、山洞、坟场、丛林、露天、草堆。当他这样独处时,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)、城里人和乡下人来拜访他。当婆罗门和居士、城里人和乡下人来拜访时,他变得贪爱,陷入贪欲,回归到奢华的生活。阿难,这被称为老师的困扰。由于老师的困扰,恶不善法——污染的、导致再生的、令人忧虑的、带来痛苦果报的、导致未来出生、衰老和死亡的法侵入了他。阿难,这就是老师的困扰。
"阿难,什么是弟子的困扰?阿难,那位老师的弟子效仿老师的隐居生活,也选择隐居处——森林、树下、山中、峡谷、山洞、坟场、丛林、露天、草堆。当他这样独处时,婆罗门和居士、城里人和乡下人来拜访他。当婆罗门和居士、城里人和乡下人来拜访时,他变得贪爱,陷入贪欲,回归到奢华的生活。阿难,这被称为弟子的困扰。由于弟子的困扰,恶不善法——污染的、导致再生的、令人忧虑的、带来痛苦果报的、导致未来出生、衰老和死亡的法侵入了他。阿难,这就是弟子的困扰。
"阿难,什么是同修的困扰?在这里,阿难,如来出现于世间,是阿罗汉、正等正觉、明行足、善逝、世间解、无上士、调御丈夫、天人师、佛、世尊。他选择隐居处——森林、树下、山中、峡谷、山洞、坟场、丛林、露天、草堆。当他这样独处时,婆罗门和居士、城里人和乡下人来拜访他。当婆罗门和居士、城里人和乡下人来拜访时,他不贪爱,不陷入贪欲,不回归到奢华的生活。但是,阿难,那位老师的弟子效仿老师的隐居生活,也选择隐居处——森林、树下、山中、峡谷、山洞、坟场、丛林、露天、草堆。当他这样独处时,婆罗门和居士、城里人和乡下人来拜访他。当婆罗门和居士、城里人和乡下人来拜访时,他变得贪爱,陷入贪欲,回归到奢华的生活。阿难,这被称为同修的困扰。由于同修的困扰,恶不善法——污染的、导致再生的、令人忧虑的、带来痛苦果报的、导致未来出生、衰老和死亡的法侵入了他。阿难,这就是同修的困扰。
"阿难,在这些困扰中,同修的困扰比老师的困扰和弟子的困扰更为痛苦,更为苦涩,甚至可能导致堕落。
"因此,阿难,你们应该以朋友的态度对待我,而不是以敌人的态度。这将长期有益于你们,带来幸福。
"阿难,弟子们如何以敌人的态度对待导师,而不是以朋友的态度?在这里,阿难,导师出于慈悲,为弟子们的利益和幸福而说法:'这是为了你们的利益,这是为了你们的幸福。'但他的弟子们不愿意听,不倾耳而听,不以理解的心态听,而是违背导师的教导。阿难,这就是弟子们以敌人的态度对待导师,而不是以朋友的态度。
"阿难,弟子们如何以朋友的态度对待导师,而不是以敌人的态度?在这里,阿难,导师出于慈悲,为弟子们的利益和幸福而说法:'这是为了你们的利益,这是为了你们的幸福。'他的弟子们愿意听,倾耳而听,以理解的心态听,不违背导师的教导。阿难,这就是弟子们以朋友的态度对待导师,而不是以敌人的态度。
"因此,阿难,你们应该以朋友的态度对待我,而不是以敌人的态度。这将长期有益于你们,带来幸福。阿难,我不会像陶师对待未烧制的陶器那样对待你们。我会反复纠正,反复训诫。坚固的将会留存。"
这就是世尊所说。尊者阿难满怀喜悦,欣然接受世尊的教导。
