Dhammapada Verses 168 and 169

Uttitthe nappamajjeyya
dhammam sucaritam
1 care
dhammacari sukham seti
asmim loke paramhi ca.

Dhammam care sucaritarm
na nam duccaritam2 care
dhammacari sukham seti
asmim loke paramhi ca.

Verse 168: Do not neglect the duty of going on alms-round; observe proper practice (in going on alms-round). One who observes proper practice lives happily both in this world and in the next.

Verse 169: Observe proper practice (in going on alms-round); do not observe improper practice. One who observes proper practice lives happily both in this world and in the next.


1. dhammam sucaritam: proper practice. The Commentary says that here proper practice means stopping for alms-food at one house after another in the course of the alms-round except where it is not proper to go (such as a courtesan's house).

2. na nam duccaritam: improper practice. Here it means not observing the above rules.


The Story of King Suddhodana

While residing at the Nigrodharama monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (168) and (169) of this book, with reference to King Suddhodana, father of Gotama Buddha.

When the Buddha revisited Kapilavatthu for the first time he stayed at the Nigrodharama monastery. There, he expounded the Dhamma to his relatives. King Suddhodana thought that Gotama Buddha, who was his own son, would go to no other place, but would surely come to his palace for alms-food the next day; but he did not specifically invite the Buddha to come for alms-food. However, the next day, he prepared alms-food for twenty thousand bhikkhus. On that morning the Buddha went on his alms-round with a retinue of bhikkhus, as was the custom of all the Buddhas.

Yasodhara, wife of Prince Siddhattha before he renounced the world, saw the Buddha going on an alms-round, from the palace window. She informed her father-in-law, King Suddhodana, and the King went in great haste to the Buddha. The king told the Buddha that for a member of the royal Khattiya family, to go round begging for food from door to door was a disgrace. Whereupon the Buddha replied that it was the custom of all the Buddhas to go round for alms-food from house to house, and therefore it was right and proper for him to keep up the tradition.

Verse 168: Do not neglect the duty of going on alms-round; observe proper practice (in going on alms-round). One who observes proper practice lives happily both in this world and in the next.

 

Verse 169: Observe proper practice (in going on alms-round); do not observe improper practice. One who observes proper practice lives happily both in this world and in the next.

At the end of the discourse the father of Gotama Buddha attained Sotapatti Fruition.

佛陀返回迦毗羅衛城 


人不可放逸,應該勤修正法善行,如此做的人今生與來世都安樂。 (偈 168)

人應該奉行正法善行,不可作惡行,奉行正法善行的人,今生與來世都安樂 (偈 169)


  佛陀究竟證悟後第一次返回迦毗羅衛城(佛陀的家鄉)時,住在尼拘婁陀園,並且在當地為親戚們說法。淨飯王認為佛陀身為他的孩子,第二天應該會直接到他的王宮來化緣,而不會到其他地方去才對,所以並沒有特別邀請佛陀前去接受供養,只是下令準備供養而已。

  由於沒有人特別邀請他前去接受供養,佛陀和眾多比丘第二天就進城化緣。進城之前,他心裡斟酌著:「過去諸佛再進入親戚的城市時,是直接到親戚的家去,或逐戶化緣?」經過思惟後,他明白過去佛都是一家一戶地化緣,也就依序去化緣。

  當淨飯王從兒媳婦耶輸陀羅(佛陀未出家時的妻子)處得知這件幾近羞辱的消息後,異常憤怒,就去找佛陀:「孩子,你為什麼要羞辱我?看你如此化緣,我真的無地自容,你曾經是坐著金轎旅遊的人,現在卻一家一戶化緣,這種作法適當嗎?你為什麼要羞辱我!」

  佛陀回答道:「國王,我並沒有羞辱你,我不過是遵照過去諸佛的規矩而已,諸佛皆化緣生。」

  國王明白諸佛都是如此,於是接受佛陀化緣的作法。
