第一千一百五十七章 波塔利耶经
中部54经/波塔利耶经(屋主品[6])
如是我闻:一时,世尊住在昂哥罗部落一个名叫阿巴那的市镇。那时,世尊在上午时分,穿好衣服,持钵入阿巴那托钵。在阿巴那托完钵后,饭后返回,为了午休来到一处林园。进入林园后,在一棵树下坐下午休。
这时,波塔利耶居士身着整齐的上衣下裳,持伞著履,在四处散步游逛时来到那处林园。他进入林园后走近世尊,与世尊互相问候。寒暄完毕后,站在一旁。世尊对站在一旁的波塔利耶居士说:"居士,这里有座位,如果你愿意就请坐。"
听闻此言,波塔利耶居士因为世尊称他为"居士"而生气不悦,保持沉默。世尊第二次...第三次对波塔利耶居士说:"居士,这里有座位,如果你愿意就请坐。"
波塔利耶居士因为世尊称他为"居士"而生气不悦,对世尊说:"乔达摩先生,你称呼我为'居士'是不恰当的,这是不适合的!"
"居士,你确实具有居士的形相、特征和标志。"
"尊者,我已经舍弃了一切事业,断绝了一切俗务。"
"居士,你如何舍弃了一切事业,断绝了一切俗务呢?"
"尊者,我已将所有的财物、谷物、金银都交给子女作为遗产,在这方面我不再给予教导或批评,只求衣食而活。就这样,我舍弃了一切事业,断绝了一切俗务。"
"居士,你所说的断绝俗务与圣者律中的断绝俗务是不同的。"
"大德,那么在圣者律中,断绝俗务是如何的呢?请世尊为我说法,让我知道圣者律中的断绝俗务。"
"那么,居士,你要好好听,认真思考,我要说了。"
"是的,大德。"波塔利耶居士回答世尊。
世尊说道:"居士,在圣者律中有八种法能导致断绝俗务。是哪八种呢?
以不杀生为依止而应断除杀生;
以取得所与为依止而应断除不与取(不与取解释:物品主人没有允许就拿走物品,引申为偷盗抢劫);
以真实语为依止而应断除妄语(妄语解释:虚假不真实的言语);
以不离间语为依止而应断除离间语(离间语解释:说挑拨离间的言语,破坏别人和睦的关系);
以无贪求为依止而应断除贪求;
以无诽谤为依止而应断除诽谤;
以无忿恼为依止而应断除忿恼;
以无慢心为依止而应断除慢心(慢解释:心所(心之作用)之名。即比较自己与他人之高低、胜劣、好恶等,而生起轻蔑他人之自恃之心,称为慢;亦即轻蔑、自负之意)。
这八种法简略说明,未详细分别,能在圣者律中导致断绝俗务。"
"大德,世尊简略说明,未详细分别的这八种能在圣者律中导致断绝俗务的法,请世尊出于慈悲,为我详细解说这八种法。"
"那么,居士,你要好好听,认真思考,我要说了。"
"是的,大德。"波塔利耶居士回答世尊。世尊说道:
关于"以不杀生为依止而应断除杀生",这是如何说的?圣弟子如是思维:"我因某些结使而成为杀生者(结使解释:结与使。结与使都是烦恼的别名,烦恼能系缚身心,结成苦果,故称为结,能使众生沉溺于生死苦海,故又名为使。结有九结,使有十使),我现在为断除、根除这些结使而修行。如果我是杀生者,我会因杀生而自责;明智者经调查后会因杀生而责备我;死后因杀生而会堕恶趣。这杀生确实是一种结使,是一种障碍。因杀生而生起的烦恼、忧苦,对于离杀生者则没有这些烦恼、忧苦。"这就是所说的"以不杀生为依止而应断除杀生"的含义。
关于"以取得所与为依止而应断除不与取",这是如何说的?圣弟子如是思维:"我因某些结使而成为不与取者,我现在为断除、根除这些结使而修行。如果我是不与取者,我会因不与取而自责;明智者经调查后会因不与取而责备我;死后因不与取而会堕恶趣。这不与取确实是一种结使,是一种障碍。因不与取而生起的烦恼、忧苦,对于离不与取者则没有这些烦恼、忧苦。"这就是所说的"以取得所与为依止而应断除不与取"的含义。
关于"以真实语为依止而应断除妄语",这是如何说的?圣弟子如是思维:"我因某些结使而成为妄语者,我现在为断除、根除这些结使而修行。如果我是妄语者,我会因妄语而自责;明智者经调查后会因妄语而责备我;死后因妄语而会堕恶趣。这妄语确实是一种结使,是一种障碍。因妄语而生起的烦恼、忧苦,对于离妄语者则没有这些烦恼、忧苦。"这就是所说的"以真实语为依止而应断除妄语"的含义。
关于"以不离间语为依止而应断除离间语",这是如何说的?圣弟子如是思维:"我因某些结使而成为离间语者,我现在为断除、根除这些结使而修行。如果我是离间语者,我会因离间语而自责;明智者经调查后会因离间语而责备我;死后因离间语而会堕恶趣。这离间语确实是一种结使,是一种障碍。因离间语而生起的烦恼、忧苦,对于离离间语者则没有这些烦恼、忧苦。"这就是所说的"以不离间语为依止而应断除离间语"的含义。
关于"以无贪求为依止而应断除贪求",这是如何说的?圣弟子如是思维:"我因某些结使而成为贪求者,我现在为断除、根除这些结使而修行。如果我是贪求者,我会因贪求而自责;明智者经调查后会因贪求而责备我;死后因贪求而会堕恶趣。这贪求确实是一种结使,是一种障碍。因贪求而生起的烦恼、忧苦,对于离贪求者则没有这些烦恼、忧苦。"这就是所说的"以无贪求为依止而应断除贪求"的含义。
关于"以无诽谤为依止而应断除诽谤",这是如何说的?圣弟子如是思维:"我因某些结使而成为诽谤者,我现在为断除、根除这些结使而修行。如果我是诽谤者,我会因诽谤而自责;明智者经调查后会因诽谤而责备我;死后因诽谤而会堕恶趣。这诽谤确实是一种结使,是一种障碍。因诽谤而生起的烦恼、忧苦,对于不诽谤者则没有这些烦恼、忧苦。"这就是所说的"以无诽谤为依止而应断除诽谤"的含义。
关于"以无忿恼为依止而应断除忿恼",这是如何说的?圣弟子如是思维:"我因某些结使而成为忿恼者,我现在为断除、根除这些结使而修行。如果我是忿恼者,我会因忿恼而自责;明智者经调查后会因忿恼而责备我;死后因忿恼而会堕恶趣。这忿恼确实是一种结使,是一种障碍。因忿恼而生起的烦恼、忧苦,对于无忿恼者则没有这些烦恼、忧苦。"这就是所说的"以无忿恼为依止而应断除忿恼"的含义。
关于"以无慢心为依止而应断除慢心",这是如何说的?圣弟子如是思维:"我因某些结使而成为慢心者,我现在为断除、根除这些结使而修行。如果我是慢心者,我会因慢心而自责;明智者经调查后会因慢心而责备我;死后因慢心而会堕恶趣。这慢心确实是一种结使,是一种障碍。因慢心而生起的烦恼、忧苦,对于无慢心者则没有这些烦恼、忧苦。"这就是所说的"以无慢心为依止而应断除慢心"的含义。
在解释完八法后,世尊说道:"居士,这八种法已经详细分别解说了,它们能在圣者律中导致断绝俗务。然而,这还不是在圣者律中完全彻底地断绝一切俗务。"
"大德,那么在圣者律中如何才能完全彻底地断绝一切俗务呢?请世尊为我说法,让我知道如何在圣者律中完全彻底地断绝一切俗务。"
"那么,居士,你要好好听,认真思考,我要说了。"
"是的,大德。"波塔利耶居士回答世尊。世尊说道:
"居士,譬如有一只饥饿衰弱的狗在屠夫的案板前。一位熟练的屠夫或屠夫的学徒扔给它一块洗净的、剔光了肉只剩骨头而沾有血的骨头。居士,你认为这只狗舔着这块洗净的、剔光了肉只剩骨头而沾有血的骨头,能否除去饥饿衰弱?"
"不能,大德。"
"为什么?"
"大德,因为那只是一块洗净的、剔光了肉只剩骨头而沾有血的骨头。那只狗只会疲惫困乏。"
"同样地,居士,圣弟子如是思维:'世尊说欲如骨架,多苦多恼,这其中过患更多。'以正慧如实了知此后,舍弃那种依多样性、缘多样性的舍(多样性、缘多样性的舍解释:初禅到三禅,初禅到三禅解释,见第一百五十五章),修习那种依一性、缘一性的舍(依一性、缘一性的舍解释:四禅,四禅解释,见第一百五十五章),在其中一切执著世间欲望完全止息。
"居士,譬如一只兀鹫、乌鸦或鹰叼着一块肉飞走,其他兀鹫、乌鸦、鹰追赶它,啄它、攫它。居士,你认为如果那只兀鹫、乌鸦或鹰不快快放弃那块肉,它会因此而死或受致命之苦吗?"
"会的,大德。"
"同样地,居士,圣弟子如是思维:'世尊说欲如肉块,多苦多恼,这其中过患更多。'以正慧如实了知此后,舍弃那种依多样性、缘多样性的舍,修习那种依一性、缘一性的舍,在其中一切执著世间欲望完全止息。
"居士,譬如一个人拿着燃烧的草把逆风而行。你认为如果这个人不快快放下这燃烧的草把,这燃烧的草把会烧伤他的手、臂或其他身体部位,使他因此而死或受致命之苦吗?"
"会的,大德。"
"同样地,居士,圣弟子如是思维:'世尊说欲如火炬,多苦多恼,这其中过患更多。'以正慧如实了知此后...修习那种依一性的舍,在其中一切执著世间欲望完全止息。
"居士,譬如有一个比人还深的火坑,装满了无烟无焰的火炭。有一个爱生恶死、求乐厌苦的人来到这里。这时有两个强壮的人各抓住他的一只手臂,将他拖向火坑。居士,你认为那个人会扭动身体挣扎吗?"
"会的,大德。"
"为什么?"
"大德,因为那人知道:'如果我掉入这火坑,会因此而死或受致命之苦。'"
"同样地,居士,圣弟子如是思维:'世尊说欲如火坑,多苦多恼,这其中过患更多。'以正慧如实了知此后...修习那种依一性的舍,在其中一切执著世间欲望完全止息。
"居士,譬如一个人做梦,梦见美丽的园林、森林、平地和莲池。醒来后却什么也见不到。同样地,居士,圣弟子如是思维:'世尊说欲如梦境,多苦多恼,这其中过患更多。'...修习那种依一性的舍。
"居士,譬如一个人借用财物——豪华的车乘、贵重的珠宝耳环等。他因这些借用的财物而被人簇拥,走在市集中。人们见了就说:'有钱人啊,有钱人就是这样享用财富的!'但是当物主在任何地方看见他时,就会在那里取回他们的财物。居士,你认为这足以让那个人感到沮丧吗?"
"会的,大德。"
"为什么?"
"大德,因为物主收回了他们的财物。"
"同样地,居士,圣弟子如是思维:'世尊说欲如借物,多苦多恼,这其中过患更多。'...修习那种依一性的舍。
"居士,譬如在村镇附近有一片茂密的森林。那里有一棵树,挂满了果实,但地上没有掉落的果子。这时有一个人来到这里,他想要果子,在寻找果子。他进入森林,看见那棵挂满果实的树,就想:'这棵树挂满了果实,但地上没有掉落的果子。我会爬树,我应该爬上这棵树,吃个够,还要装满衣襟。'于是他爬上树,吃个够,还装满了衣襟。
然后另一个人带着锋利的斧头来到这里,他也想要果子,在寻找果子。他进入森林,看见那棵树,就想:'这棵树挂满了果实,但地上没有掉落的果子。我不会爬树,我应该从树根砍倒这棵树,吃个够,还要装满衣襟。'于是他就开始从根部砍那棵树。
居士,你认为那个先爬到树上的人如果不赶快下来,树倒下时会不会折断他的手脚或其他身体部位,使他因此而死或受致命之苦?"
"会的,大德。"
"同样地,居士,圣弟子如是思维:'世尊说欲如果实,多苦多恼,这其中过患更多。'以正慧如实了知此后,舍弃那种依多样性、缘多样性的舍,修习那种依一性、缘一性的舍,在其中一切执著世间欲望完全止息。
这位圣弟子依止这最上的舍念清净,能忆念许多前世,如一生、二生...如是能忆念种种前世的状况与细节。
这位圣弟子依止这最上的舍念清净,以清净超人的天眼,能见众生随业流转,有胜、有劣,有好色、有丑色,有善趣、有恶趣...能了知众生随其所造的业而转生(业解释:是指一个人的行为,身、口、意所产生的能量或力量,每个行为都会产生相应的结果,善行产生善果,恶行产生恶果,影响个人的性格、处境、际遇等,可能延续到来世,影响轮回)。
这位圣弟子依止这最上的舍念清净,能断尽诸漏(诸漏解释:各种烦恼),无漏心解脱、慧解脱,在现法中自知自证,具足安住。居士,这就是在圣者律中完全彻底地断绝一切俗务。
"居士,你认为如何?像这样在圣者律中完全彻底地断绝一切俗务,你能否在自己身上看到这样的断绝俗务?"
"大德,我是谁啊!我怎能达到圣者律中完全彻底地断绝一切俗务!我离圣者律中完全彻底地断绝一切俗务还很遥远。大德,以前我们误以为不是良马的外道游行者是良马,给不是良马的人以良马的供养,把不是良马的人安置在良马的地位;而对于确实是良马的比丘们,我们却误认为不是良马,给予不是良马的供养,安置在不是良马的地位。
但现在,大德,我们将知道不是良马的外道游行者确实不是良马,我们将给予他们不是良马的供养,将安置他们在不是良马的地位;而对于确实是良马的比丘们,我们将知道他们是良马,将给予良马的供养,将安置他们在良马的地位。
大德,世尊使我对沙门生起了爱敬、信心与恭敬。妙哉!大德,妙哉!大德,就像扶起倒下的东西,揭开覆盖的东西,为迷路者指明道路,在黑暗中举起油灯,使有眼者得见色形。同样地,世尊以种种方便开示法义。大德,我现在皈依世尊、皈依法、皈依比丘僧。愿世尊接受我为优婆塞(优婆塞解释:在家修行男居士),从今日起终生皈依。"
