Dhammapada Verse 224

Saccam bhane na kujjheyya
dajja appampi yacito
etehi tihi thanehi
gacche devana santike.

Verse 224: One should speak the truth, one should not yield to anger, one should give when asked even if it is only a little. By means of these three, one may go to the world of the devas.

The Story of the Question Raised by Thera Maha Moggallana

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (224) of this book, with reference to the question raised by Thera Maha Moggallana.

Once, Thera Maha Moggallana visited the deva world and found many devas living in luxurious mansions. He asked them for what good deed they were reborn in the deva world and they gave him different answers. One of them was reborn in the deva world not because he gave away much wealth in charity or because he had listened to the dhamma, but just because he always spoke the truth. The second one was a female deva who was reborn in the deva world because she did not get angry with her master and had no ill will towards him even though he often beat her and abused her. For keeping her temper and abandoning hatred she was reborn in the deva world. Then, there were others who were reborn in the deva world because they had offered little things like a stick of sugar cane, a fruit, or some vegetables to a bhikkhu or to someone else.

On his return from the deva world, Thera Maha Moggallana asked the Buddha whether it was possible to gain such great benefits by just speaking the truth, or by restraining one's actions, or by giving small amounts of such trifling things like fruits and vegetables. To him the Buddha answered, "My son, why do you ask? Have you not seen for yourself and heard what the devas said? You should not have any doubt. Little deeds of merit surely lead one to the world of the devas."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 224: One should speak the truth, one should not yield to anger, one should give when asked even if it is only a little. By means of these three, one may go to the world of the devas.

往生天界的方法


人應該說實話，不可忿怒，即使自己擁有的不多，仍然應該布施給乞求的人，能夠做到這三件事的人，可往生諸天。 (偈224)


　　大目犍連尊者有一次在天界看見很多天神住在舒適的華屋中。他請教他們究竟做了什麼善行，能夠往生天界。他們的回答各自不同，其中一位說，他所以往生天上，不是因為布施或聽聞佛法，而只因為他總是實話實說。另一位女天神則說，雖然她的主人毆打辱罵她，但是她不生主人的氣，心中沒有任何的瞋念。她說控制自己的脾氣，滌除恨意使她往生天界。其他天神則說他們在能力範圍內，用自己的方法，為他人的利益而布施。大目犍連尊者回到精舍後，請教佛陀，一個人說實話，不發脾氣或只布施少量微不足道的東西，就能往生天上嗎？

　　佛陀回答他：「你不是親眼目睹，親耳聽聞那些天神的說辭嗎？你不該有任何的懷疑。即使少量的功德也能使人往生天上。」
