Dhammapada Verses 188 to 192

Bahum ve saranam yanti

Netam kho saranam khemam

Yo ca buddhanca dhammanca

ariyam catthangikam maggam

Etam kho saranam khemam

Verse 188: When threatened with danger, men go to many a refuge, - to mountains and forests, to parks and gardens, and to sacred trees.

Verse 189: But such a refuge is not a safe refuge, not the best refuge. One is not liberated from all evil consequences of existence (dukkha) for having come to such a refuge.

Verses 190 & 191: One, who takes refuge in the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Samgha, sees with Magga Insight the Four Noble Truths, viz., Dukkha, the Cause of Dukkha, the Cessation of Dukkha, and the Noble Path of Eight Constituents which leads to the Cessation of Dukkha.

Verse 192: This, indeed, is the safe refuge; this is the best refuge. Having come to this refuge, one is liberated from all dukkha.

The Story of Aggidatta

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (188) to (192) of this book, with reference to Aggidatta, a brahmin.

Aggidatta was the head priest during the time of King Mahakosala, father of King Pasenadi. After the death of King Mahakosala, Aggidatta gave away his property in charity, and after that he left his home and became a non-Buddhist ascetic. He lived with his ten thousand followers in a place near the border of the three kingdoms of Anga, Magadha and Kuru, not far from a mound of sand where a powerful naga was staying. To his followers and the people of these three kingdoms, Aggidatta used to exhort: "Pay homage to forests, mountains, parks and gardens, and trees; by doing so, you will be liberated from all ills of life."

One day, the Buddha saw Aggidatta and his followers in his vision and realized that the time was ripe for them to attain arahatship. So the Buddha sent Thera Maha Moggalana to Aggidatta and his followers and told him that he himself would follow afterwards. Thera Maha Moggalana went to the place of Aggidatta and his followers and asked them to give him shelter for one night. They first turned down his request, but finally they agreed to let him stop at the mound of sand, the home of the naga. The naga was very antagonistic to Thera Maha Moggalana, and there followed a duel between the naga and the thera; on both sides, there was a display of power by emitting smoke and flames. However, in the end, the naga was subdued. He coiled himself round the mound of sand, and raised his head spreading it out like an umbrella over Thera Maha Moggalana, thus showing respect for him. Early in the morning, Aggidatta and the other ascetics came to the mound of sand to find out whether Thera Maha Moggalana was still alive; they had expected to see him dead. When they found the naga tamed, and meekly holding his head like an umbrella over Thera Maha Moggalana, they were very much astounded.

Just then, the Buddha arrived and Thera Maha Moggallana got up from his seat on the mound and paid obeisance to the Buddha. Thera Maha Moggalana then proclaimed to the audience of ascetics, "This is my Teacher, the supreme Buddha, and I am but a humble pupil of this great Teacher!" Hearing him, the ascetics who had been very much impressed even by the power of Thera Maha Moggalana were awed by the greater power of the Buddha. The Buddha then asked Aggidatta what he taught his followers and the residents of the neighbourhood. Aggidatta replied that he had taught them to pay homage to mountains, forests, parks and gardens, and trees, and that by doing so, they would be liberated from all ills of life. The Buddha's reply to Aggidatta was, "Aggidatta, people go to mountains, forests, gardens and parks, and trees for refuge when they are threatened with danger, but these things cannot offer them any protection. Only those who take refuge in the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Samgha are liberated from the round of rebirths (samsara)".

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 188: When threatened with danger, men go to many a refuge, - to mountains and forests, to parks and gardens, and to sacred trees.

 

Verse 189: But such a refuge is not a safe refuge, not the best refuge. One is not liberated from all evil consequences of existence (dukkha) for having come to such a refuge.

 

Verses 190 & 191: One, who takes refuge in the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Samgha, sees with Magga Insight the Four Noble Truths, viz., Dukkha, the Cause of Dukkha, the Cessation of Dukkha, and the Noble Path of Eight Constituents which leads to the Cessation of Dukkha.

 

Verse 192: This, indeed, is the safe refuge; this is the best refuge. Having come to this refuge, one is liberated from all dukkha.

At the end of the discourse Aggidatta and all his followers attained arahatship. All of them entered the Order of the bhikkhus. On that day, when the disciples of Aggidatta from Anga, Magadha and Kuru came to pay respect to him, they saw their teacher and his followers garbed as bhikkhus and they were puzzled and wondered, "Who is the more powerful? Our teacher or Samana Gotama? Our teacher must be more powerful because Samana Gotama has come to our teacher." The Buddha knew what they were thinking; Aggidatta also felt that he must set their minds at rest. So, he paid obeisance to the Buddha in the presence of his disciples, and said, "Venerable Sir! You are my teacher, I am but a disciple of yours." Thus, the audience came to realize the supremacy of the Buddha.

祀得皈依三寶

人在面臨危險時，會去尋找很多的保護，如山岳、森林、園苑、樹神和神舍。但這些都不是安隱的保護，也不是最佳的保護，如此的保護無法使人脫離諸苦。 (偈 188~189)

皈依佛法與僧伽的人，可以透過智慧明白四聖諦：苦、集、滅和滅苦的八正道。這才是真正無上安全的皈依和保護。如此皈依的人，可以脫離諸苦。 (偈 190~192)


　　祀得是摩訶憍薩羅王的國師。摩訶憍薩羅王是波斯匿王的父親。摩訶憍薩羅王逝世後，祀得放棄所有的財產，離開家裡，成為苦行者。他和他的弟子們到靠近鴦迦國，摩竭陀國與拘留國三國邊境附近的地方住下來，當地附近有一隻兇猛的龍。祀得經常向弟子和這三國家的人民說：「禮敬森林、山、公園和樹木，如此，你們就可以解除生命中所有的苦痛。」

　　有一天，佛陀透過天眼，觀察到祀得和他的弟子們，而且知道他們證得阿羅漢果的機緣已經成熟了。佛陀就派遣大目犍連尊者先去向祀得和其弟子說法，佛陀本人隨後也會前去說法。大目犍連尊者就到祀得居住的地方，他請問他們可否借宿一夜。首先，他們加以拒絕，後來卻答應了，但指引他去龍住的地方。這隻龍非常敵視大目犍連尊者， 就和尊者展開一場鬥爭。最後，龍終於臣服了，而卷起身子，伸出頭來，像雨傘般護持大目犍連尊者，表示對尊者的禮敬。第二天一大早，祀得和弟子們前來觀察大目犍連尊 者的命運如何，當他們發現龍已經馴服，溫順地以頭保護大目犍連尊者時，都大感驚訝 ，他們也因此向大目犍連尊者禮敬。

　　這時候，佛陀也來了。大目犍連尊者從座位上站起來，向佛陀頂禮問訊，然後告訴眾人：「這是我的老師－－最尊貴的佛陀，我不過是偉大佛陀的一位謙恭弟子而已。」聽完大目犍連尊者這麼一說，先前對尊者馴服龍的能力留有深刻印象的人對佛陀的能力更感訝異。

　　佛陀告誡他：「祀得，人民受到危險的威脅時，會前往山上、森林、花園、公園和樹木去尋求庇護，但這些地方無法保護人們。只有依止佛陀，法和僧伽的人才能從世間苦解脫出來。」

　　佛陀說法完畢後，祀得和他的弟子們證得阿羅漢果，他們也都加入僧伽為比丘。當天從鴦迦國，摩竭陀國和拘留國前來禮敬祀得的弟子看見祀得和他弟子們都身穿比丘的袈裟時，感到困惑，而在心中想著：「究竟誰的法力較強？我們的老師祀得或喬達摩呢 ？一定是我們的老師法力較強，因為是喬達摩前來這裡找他！」佛陀知道他們心中的念頭，祀得也認為他應該去除他們心中的猜測，所以，他就向佛陀頂禮問訊，然後說：「 世尊！你是我的導師，我不過是你的一位弟子而已。」經過他這麼表白，這些人都明白佛陀的超凡卓絕。

14. Buddhavagga

Chapter Fourteen  The Buddha 

第十四章  佛陀

བཅུ་བཞི་པ་སངས་རྒྱས་ཀྱི་ལེའུ། 


188. Bahuṃ ve saraṇaṃ yanti, 

pabbatāni vanāni ca;

Ārāmarukkhacetyāni, 

manussā bhayatajjitā.

189. Netaṃ kho saraṇaṃ khemaṃ, 

netaṃ saraṇamuttamaṃ;

Netaṃ saraṇamāgamma, 

sabbadukkhā pamuccati.

190. Yo ca buddhañca dhammañca, 

saṅghañca saraṇaṃ gato;

Cattāri ariyasaccāni, 

sammappaññāya passati.

191. Dukkhaṃ dukkhasamuppādaṃ, 

dukkhassa ca atikkamaṃ;

Ariyaṃ caṭṭhaṅgikaṃ maggaṃ, 

dukkhūpasamagāminaṃ.

192. Etaṃ kho saraṇaṃ khemaṃ, 

etaṃ saraṇamuttamaṃ;

Etaṃ saraṇamāgamma, 

sabbadukkhā pamuccati.


188. Driven only by fear, do men go for refuge to many places — to hills, woods, groves, trees and shrines.

189. Such, indeed, is no safe refuge; such is not the refuge supreme. Not by resorting to such a refuge is one released from all suffering.

190-191. He who has gone for refuge to the Buddha, the Teaching and his Order, penetrates with transcendental wisdom the Four Noble Truths — suffering, the cause of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the Noble Eightfold Path leading to the cessation of suffering. 

[The Order: both the monastic Order (bhikkhu sangha) and the Order of Noble Ones (ariya sangha) who have reached the four supramundane stages.]

192. This indeed is the safe refuge, this the refuge supreme. Having gone to such a refuge, one is released from all suffering.


188.有危難時，人們會驚慌地尋找皈依，如跑到高山上、森林裡、公園內、或神樹下去躲避。

189.但是，上述的地方不是安穩的皈依，也不是最好的皈依；那裡是不能逃避人們自作的惡業苦果的。

190.皈依三寶［1］ 的人，能以道智得見四聖諦。

191.所謂四聖諦，即是苦聖諦、苦集聖諦、苦滅聖諦、導致苦滅之道聖諦四個聖諦。

192.這三皈依確實是安穩的皈依、也是最好的皈依，到此可解除一切苦惱。

【註釋】

［1］ 皈依三寶：皈，即歸向；依，即依靠。指向佛法僧等三寶尋求庇護，依靠三寶，希望最終能離生死輪迴苦、得涅槃之樂。也叫做三皈依。

190.皈依三宝［1］ 的人，能以道智得见四圣谛。

191.所谓四圣谛，即是苦圣谛、苦集圣谛、苦灭圣谛、导致苦灭之道圣谛四个圣谛。

༡༨༨༽ འཇིགས་པས་འདེད་པའི་མི་དག་གིས། །རི་དང་ནགས་དང་སྐྱེད་མོས་ཚལ། །ལྗོན་ཤིང་ལྷ་ཁང་གན་དག་ལ། །སྐྱབས་སུ་འགྲོ་བར་བྱེད་པ་སྟེ། །

Verse 392: If from somebody one should learn the Teaching of the Buddha, he should respectfully pay homage to that teacher, as a brahmin worships the sacrificial fire. The Story of Thera Sariputta While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (392) of this book, with reference to the Venerable Sariputta. The Venerable Sariputta was born of brahmin parents of Upatissa village; that was why he was named Upatissa. His mother was Sari.

First, they went to Sancaya, but they were not satisfied with his teaching. Then they wandered all over Jambudipa looking for a tea...
