长部24经/帕提卡经(波梨品[第三])

【开头礼敬句:】

礼敬世尊、阿罗汉、正等正觉者。

"如是我闻。一时,世尊住在末罗国的阿努毗耶城。一天清晨,世尊着衣持钵,准备入城托钵。这时世尊想道:'现在去阿努毗耶城托钵还太早。不如我先去拜访婆伽婆种的游行者的园林。'"

"于是世尊来到婆伽婆种游行者的园林。婆伽婆种游行者对世尊说:'请来,世尊!欢迎,世尊!世尊已经很久没有来这里了。请坐,世尊,这里有座位已经准备好了。'世尊坐在准备好的座位上。婆伽婆种游行者也取了一个较低的座位,坐在一旁。坐下后,婆伽婆种游行者对世尊说:'尊者,几天前,离车族的孙叉多来见我,告诉我说:"我已经舍弃了世尊,不再以世尊为师了。"世尊,孙叉多所说是否属实?'"

"确实如此,婆伽婆。几天前,孙叉多来见我,向我礼敬后坐在一旁。他对我说:'尊者,我现在要舍弃世尊,不再以世尊为师。'听到这话,我对孙叉多说:'孙叉多,我曾经对你说过"来跟随我"吗?''没有,尊者。''或者你曾对我说"我要以您为师"吗?''也没有,尊者。''既然如此,愚人,我没有叫你跟随我,你也没说要以我为师,那么你现在要舍弃谁呢?看看你犯了多大的错误!'"

"孙叉多说:'尊者,您没有为我显示超人法的神通。'我回答说:'孙叉多,我曾说过"来跟随我,我会为你显示超人法的神通"吗?''没有,尊者。''你曾对我说"我要跟随您,请您为我显示超人法的神通"吗?''没有,尊者。''既然如此,愚人,我既没承诺要显示神通,你也没有因此而跟随我。那你现在要舍弃谁呢?你认为如何,孙叉多,无论是否显示超人法的神通,我所教导的法,难道不是为了让修行者完全灭苦吗?''确实如此,尊者。''既然如此,显不显示神通有什么关系呢?看看你犯了多大的错误!'"

"孙叉多又说:'尊者,您没有为我解说世界本源。'我问:'我可曾说过"来跟随我,我会为你解说世界本源"吗?''没有,尊者。''你可曾对我说"我要跟随您,请您为我解说世界本源"吗?''没有,尊者。''既然如此,愚人,我既没承诺要解说世界本源,你也没有因此而跟随我。那你现在要舍弃谁呢?你认为如何,孙叉多,无论是否解说世界本源,我所教导的法,难道不是为了让修行者完全灭苦吗?''确实如此,尊者。''既然如此,解不解说世界本源有什么关系呢?看看你犯了多大的错误!'"

"孙叉多,你在跋耆地曾多次赞叹我说:'世尊是阿罗汉、正等正觉者、明行具足、善逝、世间解、无上士、调御丈夫、天人师、佛、世尊。'

你也曾多次在跋耆地赞叹法说:'法由世尊善说,现见可证,无时节,来见即是,向上引导,智者自知。'

你还曾多次在跋耆地赞叹僧团说:'世尊的声闻僧众善行道,正直行道,如理行道,正当行道。即四双八辈,是为世尊声闻僧众,应受供养,应受供奉,应受布施,应受合掌礼敬,是世间无上福田。'

孙叉多,我现在告诉你,警告你。将来人们会这样说你:'孙叉多离车子无法在沙门乔达摩处修梵行,因无法修持而舍戒还俗。'他们会这样议论你。"

"婆伽婆,有一次我住在都卢人的北镇。一天清晨,我着衣持钵,与孙叉多作为随从沙门一起入北镇托钵。那时,裸行者科拉卡提耶正在行狗戒,四肢着地,用嘴直接从地上吃食物。孙叉多看到他这样就想:'这位沙门真是了不起,四肢着地用嘴直接从地上吃食物。'"

"我知道孙叉多的心念,就对他说:'你这愚人,还自称是释迦子沙门吗?''世尊为什么这样说我?''孙叉多,你看到那裸行者四肢着地用嘴吃东西,就想"这位沙门真了不起",不是吗?''是的,世尊。难道世尊是在嫉妒阿罗汉吗?''我不是嫉妒阿罗汉,而是你生起了这种恶见,应该舍弃它。'"

"孙叉多,你认为这裸行者科拉卡提耶是'了不起的沙门',但他七天后将因消化不良而死亡。死后将生在最低劣的阿修罗道中,称为黑暗阿修罗。死后他的尸体将被丢弃在比拉那塔姆巴卡的墓地里。如果你想知道,可以去问他'朋友科拉卡提耶,你知道你的去处吗?'他很可能会回答说:'朋友孙叉多,我知道我的去处。我将生在最低劣的黑暗阿修罗道中。'"

于是孙叉多去见裸行者科拉卡提耶,对他说:"朋友科拉卡提耶,沙门乔达摩预言说你七天后将因消化不良而死,死后生在最低劣的黑暗阿修罗道,尸体将被丢在比拉那塔姆巴卡墓地。所以你要适量进食、适量饮水,这样沙门乔达摩的预言就不会成真。"

孙叉多开始一天一天地数,不相信如来的话。但到了第七天,裸行者科拉卡提耶果然因消化不良而死,死后生在黑暗阿修罗道,尸体被丢在比拉那塔姆巴卡墓地。

孙叉多听说此事后,就去到比拉那塔姆巴卡墓地,用手敲打科拉卡提耶的尸体三次,问道:"朋友科拉卡提耶,你知道你的去处吗?"尸体突然坐起来,擦了擦背说:"朋友孙叉多,我知道我的去处。我已生在黑暗阿修罗道中。"说完就仰面倒下。

之后孙叉多来见我,我问他:"你认为我对科拉卡提耶的预言是否应验了?""正如世尊所说,一点不差。""这样说来,我是否已显示了超人法的神通?""确实如此,世尊。""既然如此,愚人,我已经显示了超人法的神通,你为什么还说我没有显示呢?看看你又犯了多大的错误!"婆伽婆,尽管我这样说,孙叉多还是离开了这正法律,如同注定要堕入地狱一般。"

【克拉拉玛塔卡裸行者:】

"婆伽婆,有一次我住在毗舍离大林重阁讲堂。那时,裸行者克拉拉玛塔卡住在毗舍离,在跋耆地很受尊敬,获得很多供养。他受持七项誓言:'终身做裸行者,不穿衣服;终身守梵行,不行淫事;终身只饮酒食肉,不食米饭粥食;不越过毗舍离东方的优提那塔神庙;不越过毗舍离南方的瞿昙神庙;不越过毗舍离西方的七芒果神庙;不越过毗舍离北方的多子神庙。'正是因为受持这七项誓言,他才在跋耆地获得如此尊敬和供养。

孙叉多去见克拉拉玛塔卡并向他提出问题。但克拉拉玛塔卡无法回答,反而显露出愤怒、烦恼和不悦。这时孙叉多想:'我冒犯了这位可敬的阿罗汉沙门。但愿这不会给我带来长久的伤害和痛苦。'

孙叉多来见我时,我说:'你这愚人,还自称是释迦子沙门吗?''世尊为什么这样说?''你去见克拉拉玛塔卡提问,他无法回答反而发怒,然后你担心冒犯了阿罗汉,不是吗?''是的,世尊。难道世尊是在嫉妒阿罗汉吗?''我不是嫉妒阿罗汉,而是你生起了这种恶见。你认为克拉拉玛塔卡是'可敬的沙门',但不久后他将穿上衣服,带着妻子四处游荡,吃米饭粥食,跨越毗舍离所有神庙的界限,最后名誉扫地而死。'"

果然不久后,克拉拉玛塔卡就如世尊所说的那样行事而死。孙叉多得知此事后来见我,我问他是否一切都如我所预言,他承认确实如此。我又问这是否是超人法的神通,他也承认是。我说:"既然如此,愚人,我已经显示了超人法的神通,你为什么还说我没有显示呢?"

【帕提卡子:】

"婆伽婆,那时我还住在毗舍离大林重阁讲堂。当时,裸行者帕提卡子住在毗舍离,在跋耆地很受尊敬,获得很多供养。他在毗舍离的集会上这样说:'沙门乔达摩自称有智慧,我也有智慧。有智慧的人应该显示超人法的神通。让沙门乔达摩走半路来,我也走半路去,我们两人在那里显示神通。如果沙门乔达摩显示一个神通,我就显示两个;如果他显示两个,我就显示四个;如果他显示四个,我就显示八个。不管沙门乔达摩显示多少神通,我都要显示双倍。'

孙叉多来见我报告了这件事。我对他说:'帕提卡子不舍弃这种言论、这种想法、这种见解,就不可能来见我。如果他认为不舍弃这些而来见我,他的头会裂成七片。'"

"孙叉多说:'世尊,请您谨慎说这样的话。''为什么这样说?''因为世尊已经明确断言帕提卡子不能来见您,如果他真的来了,岂不是世尊说妄语了?'

我说:'孙叉多,如来怎么会说模棱两可的话呢?''那么世尊是以他心通知道帕提卡子不能来见您吗?还是有天神告诉您的?'

'两者都有。我以他心通知道,也有天神告诉我。最近去世的离车将军阿耆多转生到三十三天,他来告诉我说:"世尊,帕提卡子无耻,说谎。他说我堕入大地狱,但实际上我生在三十三天。他不舍弃这些邪见,绝不能来见世尊。如果他来,他的头必定会裂成七片。"'"

"婆伽婆,之后我在清晨着衣持钵入毗舍离城托钵。用斋后,我前往裸行者帕提卡子的园林。孙叉多急忙跑进城里,到处告诉有名望的离车人:'诸位,世尊托钵后正去帕提卡子的园林。这将是两位了不起的沙门显示超人法神通的机会,快来看吧!'

许多有名望的离车人、婆罗门长者、各教派的沙门婆罗门都聚集在帕提卡子的园林,形成了数百上千人的大众。

帕提卡子听说:'众多有名望的人都来了,沙门乔达摩也坐在我的园林里。'他顿时恐惧、战栗、毛骨悚然,躲到游行者的庭达卡树园去了。"

"大众知道这件事后,派一个人去找帕提卡子说:'来吧,帕提卡子!众多有名望的人都来了,沙门乔达摩也在你的园林里。你不是在毗舍离集会上说,你和沙门乔达摩都有智慧,应该互相显示神通吗?你说让他走半路来,你走半路去,然后你要显示双倍的神通。现在他已经全程来到你的园林了,你快来吧!'

但帕提卡子虽然说'我来,我来',却缩在那里,不能从座位上起来。那个人说:'怎么回事?你的臀部粘在座位上了吗?还是座位粘在你臀部上了?你说要来却不能动,连座位都起不来。'"

"那人看到帕提卡子已经完全失态,只会说'我来,我来'却起不来座位,就回去向大众报告了这种情况。我对大众说:'帕提卡子如果不舍弃这种言论、想法和见解,就不能来见我。如果他认为可以不舍弃这些而来见我,他的头一定会裂成七片。'

这时,一位离车大臣站起来说:'请大家稍等,让我去把帕提卡子带来。'他去见帕提卡子说:'来吧,帕提卡子!来对你更有利。这么多有名望的人都来了,沙门乔达摩也在你的园林里。你之前说过要和他比试神通,现在他已经来了。世尊说你不舍弃那些言论就不能来见他,否则你的头会裂成七片。来吧,我们会支持你,让你胜利,让沙门乔达摩失败。'

但帕提卡子还是只会说'我来,我来',却动弹不得。离车大臣说:'怎么回事?你的臀部粘在座位上了吗?你说要来却起不来。'

接着,游行者阎浮车的弟子也站起来说:'请稍等,让我去试试。'他也去对帕提卡子说了同样的话,但结果依然一样。"

"阎浮车的弟子见帕提卡子完全失态,就给他讲了一个故事:

'从前有一头狮子想:'我要住在森林里,每天傍晚出来伸展身体,环顾四方,发出三声吼叫,然后去捕食。'狮子就这样做了。

有一只老野干吃着狮子的剩食长大,变得肥壮。它想:'我是谁?我为什么不能像狮子王一样?'于是它也想模仿狮子的行为,但当它想要吼叫时,发出的却只是野干的叫声。卑贱的野干怎能与狮子相比呢?

同样的,朋友帕提卡子,你依靠如来而活,享用如来的剩余,却想要挑战如来、阿罗汉、正等正觉者。卑贱的帕提卡子怎能与如来相比呢?'"

"阎浮车的弟子见故事也无法让帕提卡子有所行动,就回来向大众报告说:'他完全失态,只说"我来,我来",却动弹不得,连座位都起不来。'

我对大众说:'如果帕提卡子不舍弃这种言论、想法和见解,就不能来见我。如果他想不舍弃这些而来见我,他的头一定会裂成七片。即使离车人想用绳子绑住他,用象来拉他,绳子会断,或者帕提卡子不动。他确实不能来见我。'"

"然后,我为大众说法,开示、教导、鼓励、令他们欢喜。我使他们从大束缚中解脱,度八万四千众生出离大难。之后,我入火界定,升到空中七多罗树高,化现出另一个七多罗树高的火焰,放射光明和烟雾,然后回到大林重阁讲堂。

孙叉多来见我,我问他:'你认为我对帕提卡子的预言是否应验了?''正如世尊所说,一点不差。''这样说来,我是否已显示了超人法的神通?''确实如此,世尊。''既然如此,愚人,我已经显示了超人法的神通,你为什么还说我没有显示呢?看看你又犯了多大的错误!'婆伽婆,尽管我这样说,孙叉多还是离开了这正法律,如同注定要堕入地狱一般。"

【世界本源的开示】

 "婆伽婆，我了知世界的起源。我不仅知道这个，而且知道更高深的道理。虽然我了知这些，但我不执着于此。正因为不执着，我亲身证知了涅槃。如实知见这些的如来不会落入邪道。"

"婆伽婆，有些沙门和婆罗门宣称自在天、梵天是世界的创造者，是最初的根源。我去见他们并这样问：'听说你们主张自在天、梵天是世界的创造者，这是真的吗？'他们回答说：'是的。'我又问：'你们是如何解释自在天、梵天创造世界的呢？'他们无法回答，反而反问我。于是我为他们解释：

"朋友们，在经过很长的时间后，这个世界会毁灭。当世界毁灭时，大多数众生转生到光音天。他们在那里以意生身存在，以喜悦为食，自身发光，在空中飞行，住在清净之处，长期安住。

过了很长时间后，这个世界又开始形成。当世界形成时，空的梵天宫殿首先出现。这时，有一个众生因寿命或福德耗尽，从光音天下生到空的梵天宫。他在那里也是意生身，以喜悦为食，自身发光，在空中飞行，长期安住。

因为他独自一人住了很长时间，生起了厌倦和不安，想着：'啊，要是有其他众生也来这里就好了！'这时，其他众生也因寿命或福德耗尽，从光音天下生到梵天宫，与第一个众生作伴。他们也都是意生身，以喜悦为食，自身发光，在空中飞行，长期安住。

"那位最先降生的众生就这样想：'我是大梵天，是至高无上的，无人能胜过我，我能看见一切，具有支配力，是造物主，创造者，最胜者，支配者，是一切众生之父。这些众生都是我创造的。为什么呢？因为我先前想：啊，但愿其他众生也来这里！这是我的心愿，而这些众生现在确实来到了这里。'

后来降生的那些众生也这样想：'这位尊者是大梵天，至高无上，无人能胜过他，能看见一切，具有支配力，是造物主，创造者，最胜者，支配者，是一切众生之父。我们都是这位梵天所创造的。为什么呢？因为我们看到他最先来到这里，而我们是后来才来的。'

"朋友们，那位最先降生的众生寿命更长，容貌更美，威力更大。而那些后来降生的众生寿命较短，容貌较差，威力较小。

朋友们，可能会发生这种情况：某个众生从那个境界死后，来到人间。来到人间后，他出家修行。通过精进修行、专注修习、不放逸、正确思维，他能够达到这样的心境界，使他能忆念前世，但不能记得更早的事。

他就这样说：'那位尊贵的大梵天，至高无上，无人能胜过他，能看见一切，具有支配力，是造物主，创造者，最胜者，支配者，是一切众生之父，他创造了我们。他是常住的、稳固的、永恒的、不变的，将永远如此存在。而我们这些被他创造的众生则是无常的、不稳固的、短命的、会死亡的，所以才来到这个世界。'

这就是你们所说的关于自在天、梵天创造论的内容吗？"他们回答说："是的，尊者乔达摩，我们所听说的正是如此。"所以我说：我了知世界的起源，我不仅知道这个，而且知道更高深的道理。但我不执着于此，因不执着而证知涅槃。如来如实知见这些，不会落入邪道。"

"婆伽婆，有些沙门和婆罗门宣称'戏乐损坏'是世界的根源。我去见他们并问：'听说你们主张"戏乐损坏"是世界的根源，这是真的吗？'他们回答说：'是的。'我又问：'你们是如何解释这种"戏乐损坏"的根源论呢？'他们无法回答，反而反问我。于是我为他们解释：

'朋友们，有一种天人叫做"戏乐损坏天"。他们过分沉迷于嬉戏、欢乐和享受。因为过分沉迷，他们的正念消失了。因为失去正念，这些天人就从那个境界堕落了。

可能会发生这种情况：某个众生从那个境界死后，来到人间。来到人间后，他出家修行。通过精进修行、专注修习、不放逸、正确思维，他能够达到这样的心境界，使他能忆念前世，但不能记得更早的事。

他就这样说：'那些没有被戏乐损坏的天人，因为不过分沉迷于嬉戏和欢乐，所以他们的正念不会消失。因为保持正念，他们不会从天界堕落，是常住的、稳固的、永恒的、不变的，将永远如此存在。而我们这些被戏乐损坏的天人，因为过分沉迷于嬉戏和欢乐，失去了正念，所以从那个境界堕落，是无常的、不稳固的、短命的、会死亡的，才来到这个世界。'

这就是你们所说的关于"戏乐损坏"的根源论吗？"他们回答说："是的，尊者乔达摩，我们所听说的正是如此。"我了知世界的起源...（重复之前的话）...如来不会落入邪道。

"婆伽婆，有些沙门和婆罗门宣称'意志损坏'是世界的根源。我去见他们并问：'听说你们主张"意志损坏"是世界的根源，这是真的吗？'他们回答说：'是的。'我又问：'你们是如何解释这种"意志损坏"的根源论呢？'他们无法回答，反而反问我。于是我为他们解释：

'朋友们，有一种天人叫做"意志损坏天"。他们过分互相注视。因为过分互相注视，他们的心开始互相厌恶。因为心生厌恶，他们的身心都疲惫了。这些天人就从那个境界堕落了。

可能会发生这种情况：某个众生从那个境界死后，来到人间。来到人间后，他出家修行。通过精进修行、专注修习、不放逸、正确思维，他能够达到这样的心境界，使他能忆念前世，但不能记得更早的事。

他就这样说：'那些没有被意志损坏的天人，因为不过分互相注视，所以他们的心不会互相厌恶。因为心不生厌恶，身心不会疲惫。他们不会从天界堕落，是常住的、稳固的、永恒的、不变的，将永远如此存在。而我们这些被意志损坏的天人，因为过分互相注视，心生厌恶，身心疲惫，所以从那个境界堕落，是无常的、不稳固的、短命的、会死亡的，才来到这个世界。'

这就是你们所说的关于"意志损坏"的根源论吗？"他们回答说："是的，尊者乔达摩，我们所听说的正是如此。"我了知世界的起源...（重复之前的话）...如来不会落入邪道。

"婆伽婆，有些沙门和婆罗门宣称'偶然性'是世界的根源。我去见他们并问：'听说你们主张"偶然性"是世界的根源，这是真的吗？'他们回答说：'是的。'我又问：'你们是如何解释这种"偶然性"的根源论呢？'他们无法回答，反而反问我。于是我为他们解释：

'朋友们，有一种天人叫做"无想天人"。当他们生起想时，就从那个境界堕落。

可能会发生这种情况：某个众生从那个境界死后，来到人间。来到人间后，他出家修行。通过精进修行、专注修习、不放逸、正确思维，他能够达到这样的心境界，使他能忆念生起想的那一刻，但不能记得更早的事。

他就这样说：'自我和世界是偶然产生的。为什么这么说呢？因为我以前不存在，现在却存在了，从无到有。'这就是你们所说的关于"偶然性"的根源论吗？"他们回答说："是的，尊者乔达摩，我们所听说的正是如此。"我了知世界的起源，我不仅知道这个，而且知道更高深的道理。但我不执着于此，因不执着而证知涅槃。如来如实知见这些，不会落入邪道。

"婆伽婆，当我这样说时，有些沙门和婆罗门以虚假不实的话诽谤我说：'沙门乔达摩和比丘们的见解是颠倒的。沙门乔达摩说：当一个人证得净解脱时，他会认为一切都是不净的。'但是，婆伽婆，我并没有这样说。我是这样说的：'当一个人证得净解脱时，他会认知那确实是清净的。'

那些认为世尊和比丘们见解颠倒的人，他们才是见解颠倒的。世尊，我对您非常有信心。请世尊为我说法，使我也能证得净解脱。"

"婆伽婆，对于持有不同见解、不同信念、不同爱好、不同修行方法、不同师承的你来说，要证得净解脱是很困难的。婆伽婆，你现在对我有信心，就要好好保持这份信心。"

"世尊，如果对于持有不同见解、不同信念、不同爱好、不同修行方法、不同师承的我来说，要证得净解脱是很困难的，那么我会好好保持对世尊的信心。"

世尊说完这些话后，游方者婆伽婆感到欢喜，随喜世尊所说的话。

帕提卡经第一完。

这是一篇重要的佛经，主要讨论了不同的世界起源论以及佛陀对这些理论的看法和超越。
