天魔波旬影響村民 使他們反對佛陀 Mara Vatthu

Mara Vatthu 

Dhammapada Verse 200

Susukham vata jivama
yesam no natthi kincanam1
pitibhakkha bhavissama
deva abhassara2 yatha.

Verse 200: Indeed we live very happily, without any anxiety (i.e., without greed, ill will and ignorance); like the Abhassara brahmas we shall live on delightful satisfaction (piti) as our food.

1. natthi kincanam: without any anxiety, here it means without greed, ill will and ignorance (raga, dosa and moha).

2. deva abhassara: Abhassara brahmas are the radiant brahmas of the abode of the second Rupavacara Jhana Brahmaloka.

The Story of Mara

The Buddha uttered Verse (200) of this book in a brahmin village known as Pancasala (village of five halls), with reference to Mara.

On one occasion, the Buddha saw in his vision that five hundred maidens from Pancasala village were due to attain Sotapatti Fruition. So he went to stay near that village. The five hundred maidens went to the riverside to have a bath; after the bath they returned to the village fully dressed up, because it was a festival day. About the same time, the Buddha entered Pancasila village for alms-food but none of the villagers offered him anything because they had been possessed by Mara.

On his return the Buddha met Mara, who promptly asked him whether he had received much alms-food.

The Buddha saw the hand of Mara in his failure to get any alms-food on that day and replied, "You wicked Mara! It was you who turned the villagers against me. Because they were possessed by you they did not offer any alms-food to me. Am I not right ?" Mara made no reply to that question, but he thought that it would be fun to entice the Buddha back to the village and get the villagers to insult the Buddha by making fun of him. So he suggested, "O Buddha, why don't you go back to the village again? This time, you are sure to get some food."

Just then, the five hundred village maidens arrived on the scene and paid obeisance to the Buddha. In their presence, Mara taunted the Buddha, "O Buddha, since you received no alms-food this morning, you must be feeling the pangs of hunger!" To him the Buddha replied, "O wicked Mara, even though we do not get any food, like the Abhassara brahmas who live only on the delightful satisfaction (piti) and bliss (sukha) of jhana, we shall live on the delightful satisfaction and bliss of the Dhamma."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 200: Indeed we live very happily, without any anxiety (i.e., without greed, ill will and ignorance); like the Abhassara brahmas we shall live on delightful satisfaction (piti) as our food.

At the end of the discourse, the five hundred maidens attained Sotapatti Fruition.


天魔波旬影響村民   使他們反對佛陀


佛陀愉快安住，沒有種種煩惱障礙，如同光音天，佛陀以法喜為食。(偈 200)


　　有一次，佛陀透過天眼，明白潘卡沙拉村的一群少女證得初果的機緣快要成熟，他就在該村落附近停留下來。有一天，這群少女在河邊沐浴完畢後，回到她們的村子，這時候，佛陀進城去化緣，但由於村民受到天魔波旬的影響，並沒有任何人供養佛陀。

　　佛陀在回程的路上遇見天魔波旬，他當下詢問佛陀是否得到了足夠的食物。佛陀明白是天魔波旬影響村民不要供養的，佛陀就說：

　　「你這邪惡的天魔波旬，造作這種惡行是愚蠢的。」

　　天魔波旬對佛陀的話充耳不聞，他心中想著，如果能誘使佛陀再進城去化緣，再次受到村民的奚落、侮辱，會是很好玩的事。就開口道：

　　「你一定餓了，回村落去吧，你一定會得到供養的。」

　　這時，這群少女剛好也達到，她們向佛陀敬禮問訊。天魔波旬當著她們的面，譏笑佛陀：「啊！喬達摩，既然你今早沒有得到任何供養，一定感受到飢餓的劇痛了吧！」

　　「天魔波旬啊！我們即使得不到任何食物，也是法喜充滿，如同在光音天，只生活在禪定的喜樂中。」佛陀如此回答他。
