 Dhammapada Verse 216

Tanhaya japati soko
tanhaya jayati bhayam
tanhaya vippamuttassa
natthi soko kuto bhayam.

Verse 216: Craving begets sorrow, craving begets fear. For him who is free from craving there is no sorrow; how can there be fear for him?

The Story of a Brahmin

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (216) of this book, with reference to a brahmin who was a farmer.

The brahmin lived in Savatthi, and he was a non-Buddhist. But the Buddha knew that the brahmin would attain Sotapatti Fruition in the near future. So the Buddha went to where the brahmin was ploughing his field and talked to him. The brahmin became friendly and was thankful to the Buddha for taking an interest in him and his work in the field. One day, he said to the Buddha, "Samana Gotama, when I have gathered my rice from this field, I will first offer you some before I take it. I will not eat my rice until I have given you some." However, the Buddha knew beforehand that the brahmin would not have the opportunity to harvest the rice from his field that year, but he kept silent.

Then, on the night before the brahmin was to harvest his rice, there was a heavy downpour of rain which washed away the entire crop of rice. The brahmin was very much distressed, because he would no longer be able to offer any rice to his friend, the Samana Gotama.

The Buddha went to the house of the brahmin and the brahmin talked to him about the great disaster that had befallen him. In reply, the Buddha said, "Brahmin, you do not know the cause of sorrow, but I know. If sorrow and fear arise, they arise because of craving."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 216: Craving begets sorrow, craving begets fear. For him who is free from craving there is no sorrow; how can there be fear for him?

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

憂愁緣自渴愛


貪愛會引起憂愁，貪愛會生起恐怖，毫無貪愛的人，遠離憂愁恐怖。(偈216)


　　舍衛城中有位婆羅門是外道的信徒，但佛陀明白他不久即將證初果，就到他耕種的 地方去找他談話。這婆羅門十分友善，他非常感謝佛陀關心他和他的工作。他向佛陀說 ：「等我田裏的稻米成熟後，我會在收成之後，先分一些給你，我不會在分給你之前， 先吃這些米飯。」但佛陀預知他今年不可能有收成，所以不發一言。

　　婆羅門的米糧就要收成的前一天，卻下起傾盆大雨，他所有的米糧也完全毀了。婆 羅門因為無法如願的分送佛陀米糧，而非常難過。

　　佛陀再度前去找他，並加以安慰。婆羅門也向佛陀敘說降臨到他身上的大災難。佛 陀忠告他：「婆羅門，如果沒有任何貪欲(註)，永遠不會哀傷、恐懼。」



備註：

貪欲有三種

1. 欲愛，執著於感官的愛

2. 色愛，執著於色界的愛

3. 無色愛，執著於無色界的愛

　　根據阿毗達摩（論）的說法，色愛和無色愛是執著於常見的感官樂趣。

　　貪欲是強有力的精神力量，潛伏在所有眾生心中，它是造成生命中多數苦痛的主要原因，也是使眾生生死輪迴不斷的原因。
