為妓女大打出手的王子們 Licchavi Vatthu

Licchavi Vatthu  


Dhammapada Verse 214

Ratiya jayati soko
ratiya jayati bhayam
ratiya vippamuttassa
natthi soko kuto bhayam.

Verse 214: Attachment (to sensual pleasures) begets sorrow, attachment begets fear. For him who is free from attachment there is no sorrow; how can there be fear for him?

The Story of Licchavi Princes

While residing at the Kutagara monastery in Vesali, the Buddha uttered Verse (214) of this book, with reference to the Licchavi princes.

On one festival day, the Buddha entered the town of Vesali, accompanied by a retinue of bhikkhus. On their way, they met some Licchavi princes, who had come out elegantly dressed up. The Buddha seeing them in full regalia said to the bhikkhus, "Bhikkhus, those who have not been to the Tavatimsa deva world should have a good look at these Licchavi princes." The princes were then on their way to a pleasure garden. There, they quarrelled over a prostitute and soon came to blows. As a result, some of them had to be carried home, bleeding. As the Buddha returned with the bhikkhus after his meal in the town, they saw the wounded princes being carried home.

In connection with the above incident the bhikkhus remarked, "For the sake of a woman, these Licchavi princes are ruined." To them the Buddha replied,"Bhikkhus, sorrow and fear arise out of enjoyment of sensual pleasures and attachment to them."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 214: Attachment (to sensual pleasures) begets sorrow, attachment begets fear. For him who is free from attachment there is no sorrow; how can there be fear for him?

為妓女大打出手的王子們


執著引發憂愁，執著引發恐怖，毫無執著的人，遠離憂愁恐怖。 (偈 214)


　　一個節慶的日子裡，佛陀在眾多比丘的陪同下，進入毗舍離城。路上，他們遇見幾位穿著華麗的離車國王子。佛陀看他們一身的王室打扮，說道：「比丘們！未曾去過忉利天的人，仔細看看他們的裝扮吧！」這幾位王子在前往一處遊樂公園的路上，遇見一位美麗的妓女，他們邀請她同行。但後來卻為了她而爭吵起來，不一會兒，甚至拳腳相見。結果，好幾位掛彩流血，必須被人抬回家去。
　　佛陀和比丘們化緣結束後，在回精舍的路上，正巧遇見人們抬著受傷的王子要回去。
　　比丘說：「這些王子因為一位女子的緣故而毀了。」
　　佛陀接著說：「比丘們！哀傷和恐懼是因為享受、執著感官欲樂而引起的。」
