The Story of the Question Raised by Thera Ananda

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (193) of this book, with reference to the question raised by Thera Ananda.

One day, Thera Ananda pondered thus: "Our Teacher has told us that thoroughbreds of elephants are born only among Chaddanta and Uposatha breeds, that thoroughbreds of horses are born only among the Sindh breed, that thoroughbreds of cattle are born only among the Usabha breed. Thus, he had talked to us only about the thoroughbreds of elephants, horses, and cattle, but not of the noblest of men (purisajanno)."

After reflecting thus, Thera Ananda went to the Buddha, and put to him the question of the noblest of men. To him the Buddha replied, "Ananda, the noblest of men is not born everywhere, he is born only among Khattiyamahasala and Brahmanamahasala, the wealthy clans of Khattiya and Brahmana."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 193: It is hard to find the noblest of men; he is not born everywhere nor in every clan. To whatever clan such a wise man is born, that clan prospers.

最高貴的人


聖者極難得，不是每個家族都能生出聖者，但聖者出生的家族和樂興旺。(偈 193)


　　阿難尊者有一天突然想起一個問題：「我們的老師－－佛陀告訴我們，純種的大象只生長在參達塔和優薩陀種中，純種馬只生長在信度種中，純種牛只生長在優沙帕種中。事實上，他只告訴我們有關純種象、馬、牛的事，但卻未提及最尊貴的人到底生長在何處？」

　　經過一陣思考後，阿難尊者就前去請教佛陀這個問題。

　　佛陀回答他：「阿難！最尊貴的人並不生長在某一特定的家庭中。但，最尊貴的人生長的家庭，一定快樂興盛。」

བཅུ་བཞི་པ་སངས་རྒྱས་ཀྱི་ལེའུ། 



193. Dullabho purisājañño, 

na so sabbattha jāyati;

Yattha so jāyati dhīro, 

taṃ kulaṃ sukhamedhati.


193. Hard to find is the thoroughbred man (the Buddha); he is not born everywhere. Where such a wise man is born, that clan thrives happily.


193.人中至尊貴的聖者 ［1］ 是稀有的，他非隨處可見，也非在任何部族中可見，他出生的部族必是繁榮昌盛的。

【註釋】

［1］ 人中至尊貴的聖者：指佛陀。由於佛陀過去之善業，出生在當時繁榮昌盛的釋迦族，那是他的福報；後來釋迦族被滅亡，那是釋迦族的惡業所招，基本上是與佛陀無關的。


193.人中最尊贵的圣者 ［1］ 是稀有的，他非随处可见，也非在任何部族中可见，他出生的部族必是繁荣昌盛的。

【注释】

［1］ 人中至尊贵的圣者：指佛陀。由于佛陀过去之善业，出生在当时繁荣昌盛的释迦族，那是他的福报；后来释迦族被灭亡，那是释迦族的恶业所招，基本上是与佛陀无关的。
