誤把佛陀當作兒子的婆羅門 Buddhapitubrahmana Vatthu

Buddhapitubrahmana Vatthu 




Dhammapada Verse 225

Ahimsaka ye munayo
niccam kayena sarmvuta
te yanti accutam1 thanam
yattha gantva na socare.

Verse 225: The arahats, who do not harm others and are always restrained in their actions, go to the deathless Nibbana, where there is no sorrow.

1. accutam: changeless; deathless. It does not mean immortality.

The Story of the Brahmin who had been the 'Father of the Buddha'

While residing at the Anjana wood, near Saketa, the Buddha uttered Verse (225) of this book, with reference to a brahmin, who claimed that the Buddha was his son.

Once, the Buddha accompanied by some bhikkhus entered the town of Saketa for alms-food. The old brahmin, seeing the Buddha, went to him and said, "O son, why have you not allowed us to see you all this long time? Come with me and let your mother also see you." So saying, he invited the Buddha to his house. On reaching the house, the wife of the brahmin said the same things to the Buddha and introduced the Buddha as "Your big brother" to her children, and made them pay obeisance to him. From that day, the couple offered alms-food to the Buddha every day, and having heard the religious discourses, both the brahmin and his wife attained Anagami Fruition in due course.

The bhikkhus were puzzled why the brahmin couple said the Buddha was their son; so they asked the Buddha. The Buddha then replied, "Bhikkhus, they called me son because I was a son or a nephew to each of them for one thousand five hundred existences in the past." The Buddha continued to stay there, near the brahmin couple for three more months and during that time, both the brahmin and his wife attained arahatship, and then realized parinibbana.

The bhikkhus, not knowing that the brahmin couple had already become arahats, asked the Buddha where they were reborn. To them the Buddha answered:

"Those who have become arahats are not reborn anywhere; they have realized Nibbana."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 225: The arahats, who do not harm others and are always restrained in their actions, go to the deathless Nibbana, where there is no sorrow.

誤把佛陀當作兒子的婆羅門


調伏色身，不傷害眾生的聖者，證得不死的境界(涅槃)，不再受苦。 (偈 225)


　　有一次，佛陀和一位隨從比丘到裟祇城去化緣。一位年老的婆羅門看見佛陀，就說：「我的孩子，你已經很久沒來看我們了！來吧！讓你的母親也瞧瞧你。」說完後，他就要佛陀回他家去，到達他家時，他的妻子也向佛陀說類似的話， 並且向他們的孩子介紹佛陀是他們的大哥，更要他們向佛陀致意。 從此以後，這對夫婦供養佛陀，聽佛陀說法， 夫婦兩人也因此都證得三果。

　　比丘們十分困惑，不知道為什麼這對婆羅門夫婦會稱呼佛陀為兒子。 佛陀向他們解釋：「比丘們！他們如此稱呼我，是因為過去很多世時，我是他們的兒子或侄子。」 佛陀親近這對夫婦達三個月之久，這對夫婦因此證得阿羅漢果。

　　這對夫婦逝世時，比丘們不曉得他們已經般涅槃了，就問佛陀他們往生何處？ 佛陀回答他們：「阿羅漢們不往生任何地方，他們已經獲得涅槃的究竟法喜。」
