Annatara brahmana Vatthu 

Dhammapada Verse 239

Anupubbena medhavi
thokam thokam khane khane
kammaro rajatasseva
niddhame malamattano.

Verse 239: By degrees, little by little, from moment to moment a wise man removes his own impurities (moral defilements), as a smith removes the dross of silver or gold.

The Story of a Brahmin

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (239) of this book, with reference to a brahmin.

Once, a brahmin saw a group of bhikkhus re-arranging their robes as they were preparing to enter the city for alms-food. While he was looking, he found that the robes of some of the bhikkhus touched the ground and got wet because of dew on the grass. So he cleared that patch of ground. The next day, he found that as the robes of the bhikkhus touched bare ground, the robes got dirty. So he covered that patch of ground with sand. Then again, he observed that the bhikkhus would sweat when the sun was shining and that they got wet when it was raining. So finally, he built a rest house for the bhikkhus at the place where they gathered before entering the city for alms-food.

When the building was finished, he invited the Buddha and the bhikkhus for alms-food. The brahmin explained to the Buddha how he had performed this meritorious deed step by step. To him the Buddha replied "O Brahmin! The wise perform their acts of merit little by little, and gradually and constantly they remove the impurities of moral defilements."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 239: By degrees, little by little, from moment to moment a wise man removes his own impurities (moral defilements), as a smith removes the dross of silver or gold.

At the end of the discourse the brahmin attained Sotapatti Fruition.

供養聖者的婆羅門


智者應該點點滴滴、時時刻刻去除精神的煩惱，就像金匠去除金子的渣滓。 (偈 239)


　　有一次，一位婆羅門看見一群比丘在整理袈裟，準備進城化緣。他發現到有些比丘的袈裟碰到草地上的雨露而沾濕了，他就清除草徑，除掉那些草，第二天，他發現有些比丘的袈裟直接碰觸到光禿的地面而弄髒了，他就用細砂舖在路上。後來，他又發現比丘在大熱天時會流汗，而在下雨天時身體會被淋濕，於是就在比丘進城化緣前聚集的地方建立一間休息的房舍。

　　房舍建好時，他邀請佛陀和眾多比丘接受供養，並且說明自己如何一步步地完成他的善行。佛陀說：「婆羅門啊！有智慧的人一點一滴的完成善行。同時，慢慢地，但持續不斷的去除心中的煩惱。」
