往生五淨居天的比丘 Eka Anagamitthera Vatthu

 Eka Anagamitthera Vatthu 

Dhammapada Verse 218

Chandajato anakkhate
manasa ca phuto siya
kamesu ca appatibaddhacitto
"uddhamsoto"1 ti vuccati.

Verse 218: He who has developed a desire for the Ineffable (i.e., Nibbana), whose mind reaches the same, and is no longer attached to the sensual world (kamaloka), is called one who is bound upstream (uddhamsoto).

1. uddhamsoto: one who is going upstream, i.e., one who is bound for the "Pure Abodes", (Sudahavasa Brahmaloka). The reference is to the anagami or now-returner, who is born in the Aviha Suddhavasa and from there passes upwards till he reaches the Akanittha Suddhavasa, the highest of the five Pure Abodes. (The Commentary)

The Story of an Anagami Thera

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (218) of this book, with reference to a thera who was an Anagami.

On one occasion, the pupils of the thera asked him whether he had attained any of the maggas; but he did not say anything although he had attained the Anagami Magga, the third magga. He kept silent because he had resolved not to talk about his attainment until he had attained arahatship. But the thera passed away without attaining arahatship, and also without saying anything about his attainment of Anagami Magga Insight.

His pupils thought their teacher had passed away without attaining any of the maggas and they felt sorry for him. They went to the Buddha and asked him where their teacher was reborn. The Buddha replied, "Bhikkhus! Your teacher, who was an Anagami before he passed away, is now reborn in the abodes of the Brahmas (Suddhavasa Brahmaloka). He did not reveal his attainment of Anagami Magga because he felt ashamed that he had achieved only that much, and he was ardently striving to attain arahatship. Your teacher is now freed from the attachment to the sensual world (kamaloka) and would certainly rise to higher realms."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 218: He who has developed a desire for the Ineffable (i.e., Nibbana), whose mind reaches the same, and is no longer attached to the sensual world (kamaloka), is called one who is bound upstream (uddhamsoto).

At the end of the discourse those bhikkhus attained arahatship.

往生五淨居天(註)的比丘


渴求涅槃，心中感受到三果的喜悅，並且不為物欲所繫縛的人，就是證得不還果的人。(偈 218)


　　一位年老比丘的弟子有一次問他，是否已經證得阿羅漢果。年老比丘雖然已經證得三果，但沉默不語，因為他曾經下定決心，在證得阿羅漢果之前，決口不說他的修行境界。但直到逝世時，他還未證得阿羅漢果，也就從來沒有說明他的修行境界。

　　他的弟子們為他在寂滅之前都未能證得阿羅漢果，而感到難過。他們請問佛陀該年老比丘往生何處。佛陀回答他們：「比丘們！你們的老師在寂滅之前已經證不還果。他現在往生到淨居天。他未向任何人透露修行的境界，是因為對自己只能證得這樣的果位，感到慚愧。他實在努力精進，想證阿羅漢果。你們的老師對欲界已經沒有任何的執著了。」


註：五淨居天，證得不還果的人往生的地方。
