The Story of the Golden Stupa of Kassapa Buddha

While travelling from Savatthi to Baranasi, the Buddha uttered Verses (195) and (196) of this book, with reference to a brahmin and the golden stupa of Kassapa Buddha.

On one occasion, while the Buddha and his followers were on a journey to Baranasi they came to a field where there was a spirit-shrine. Not far from the shrine, a brahmin was ploughing the field; seeing the brahmin the Buddha sent for him. When he arrived, the brahmin made obeisance to the shrine but not to the Buddha. To him the Buddha said, "Brahmin, by paying respect to the shrine you are doing a meritorious deed." That made the brahmin happy. After thus putting him in a favourable frame of mind, the Buddha, by his supernormal power, brought forth the golden stupa of Kassapa Buddha and let it remain visible in the sky. The Buddha then explained to the brahmin and the other bhikkhus that there were four classes of persons worthy of a stupa. They are: the Buddhas (Tathagatas) who are homage-worthy and perfectly self-enlightened, the Paccekabuddhas, the Ariya disciples, and the Universal Monarchs. He also told them about the three types of stupas erected in honour of these four classes of persons. The stupas where corporeal relics are enshrined are known as Sariradhatu cetiya; the stupas and figures made in the likeness of the above four personages are known as Uddissa cetiya; and the stupas where personal effects like robes, bowls, etc. of those revered personages are enshrined are known as Paribhoga cetiya. The Bodhi tree is also included in the Paribhoga cetiya. The Buddha then stressed the importance of paying homage to those who are worthy of veneration.

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 195: He pays homage to those who are worthy of veneration, whether they are the Buddhas or their disciples who have overcome obstacles (to Insight Development) and have rid themselves of sorrow and lamentation.

 

Verse 196: The merit gained by such a person who pays homage to those who have been freed from moral defilements and have nothing to fear, cannot be measured by anyone, as this much or that much.

At the end of the discourse the brahmin attained Sotapatti Fruition. The stupa of Kassapa Buddha remained visible for seven more days, and people kept on coming to the stupa to pay homage and obeisance. At the end of seven days, as willed by the Buddha, the stupa disappeared, and in the place of the shrine erected to the spirits, there appeared miraculously, a big stone stupa.

尊敬值得尊敬的人


供養值得供養的人——諸佛、諸佛弟子和克服執著、邪見與傲慢，遠離諸憂患的人；供養寂靜、心無畏懼的人，功德不可衡量 。 (偈195-196)


　　佛陀有一次和眾多信徒前往波羅奈，而在路上遇見一座供奉精靈的神舍，離神舍不 遠的地方有位婆羅門正在耕種。佛陀瞥見婆羅門時，請他前來相見。婆羅門來的時候， 向神舍禮敬，而沒有向佛陀禮敬。佛陀說：「婆羅門，你禮敬神舍是對的。」

　　佛陀的話使婆羅門心情愉快，佛陀眼見婆羅門處於有利的身心狀況之下，就運用神 通，在空中示現迦葉佛的金色浮圖塔。佛陀更向婆羅門和信眾解釋有四種人值得建立浮 圖塔：佛、辟支佛、聖者弟子和轉輪聖王。佛陀也指出有三種塔：(1) 裝遺骸的骨塔、(2) 供奉 肖像或模仿肖像的肖像塔、(3) 供奉袈裟、缽等遺物的遺物塔。菩提樹屬於遺物塔。佛陀強 調要禮敬值得禮敬的人，佛陀說法後，這婆羅門就證得初果。迦葉佛的浮圖塔一連七天 在天空中示現，人潮不斷前來禮敬，第七天結束後，浮圖塔消失了，而為一座石頭浮圖 塔取代。

Verse 392: If from somebody one should learn the Teaching of the Buddha, he should respectfully pay homage to that teacher, as a brahmin worships the sacrificial fire.
