增支部2集38经

这是我听到的：

有一次，尊者大迦旃延住在婆罗那城跋陀萨利河岸边。这时，阿拉玛丹达婆罗门来到尊者大迦旃延所在之处。到达后，与尊者大迦旃延互相问候。寒暄完毕后，坐在一旁。

坐下后，阿拉玛丹达婆罗门对尊者大迦旃延说："迦旃延先生，是什么原因、什么缘由，使得刹帝利与刹帝利争执、婆罗门与婆罗门争执、居士与居士争执呢？"

"婆罗门啊，因为执著、束缚、贪恋、痴迷、沉溺于欲望，所以刹帝利与刹帝利争执、婆罗门与婆罗门争执、居士与居士争执。"

"那么，迦旃延先生，是什么原因、什么缘由，使得沙门也与沙门争执呢？"

"婆罗门啊，因为执著、束缚、贪恋、痴迷、沉溺于见解，所以沙门也与沙门争执。"

"迦旃延先生，这世上有人能够超越这种对欲望的执著、束缚、贪恋、痴迷、沉溺，以及对见解的执著、束缚、贪恋、痴迷、沉溺吗？"

"婆罗门啊，这世上确实有人能够超越这种对欲望的执著、束缚、贪恋、痴迷、沉溺，以及对见解的执著、束缚、贪恋、痴迷、沉溺。"

"迦旃延先生，这世上谁能够超越这种对欲望的执著、束缚、贪恋、痴迷、沉溺，以及对见解的执著、束缚、贪恋、痴迷、沉溺呢？"

"婆罗门啊，在东方国土有一座名叫舍卫城的城市。现在，那位世尊、阿罗汉、正等正觉就住在那里。婆罗门啊，正是那位世尊超越了这种对欲望的执著、束缚、贪恋、痴迷、沉溺，以及对见解的执著、束缚、贪恋、痴迷、沉溺。"

听到这话，阿拉玛丹达婆罗门从座位上站起来，把上衣搭在一肩，右膝着地，双手合十朝向世尊所在的方向，三次发出赞叹：

"礼敬世尊、阿罗汉、正等正觉！礼敬世尊、阿罗汉、正等正觉！礼敬世尊、阿罗汉、正等正觉！正是他超越了这种对欲望的执著、束缚、贪恋、痴迷、沉溺，以及对见解的执著、束缚、贪恋、痴迷、沉溺。"

"太好了，迦旃延先生！太好了，迦旃延先生！就像有人扶起摔倒的东西，揭开遮蔽的东西，为迷路者指明道路，在黑暗中举起油灯，让有眼之人得见色形。同样地，迦旃延先生以种种方便阐明了佛法。迦旃延先生，我今皈依佛陀、佛法和僧团。请迦旃延先生记住我，从今天起，我终生皈依，成为优婆塞。"
