Nandiya Vatthu  

Dhammapada Verses 219 and 220

Cirappavsim purisam
durato sotthimagatam
natimitta suhajja ca
abhinandanti agatam.

Tatheva katapunnampi
asma loka param gatam
punnani patiganhanti
piyam nativa agatam.

Verse 219: A man who has long been absent and has returned home safely from a distance is welcomed with joy by relatives, friends and well-wishers on his return.

Verse 220: In the same way, his good deeds will receive him who has done good when he goes from this world to the other, as relatives receive a dear one on his return.

The Story of Nandiya

While residing at the Isipatana wood, the Buddha uttered Verses (219) and (220) of this book, with reference to Nandiya.

Nandiya was a rich man from Baranasi. After listening to the Buddha's discourse on the benefits of building monasteries for bhikkhus, Nandiya built the Mahavihara monastery at Isipatana. The building was pinnacled and fully furnished. As soon as the monastery was offered to the Buddha, a mansion came up for Nandiya at the Tavatimsa deva world.

One day, when Thera Maha Moggalana visited the Tavatimsa deva world he saw the mansion which was meant for the donor of the Mahavihara monastery at Isipatana. On his return from the Tavatimsa deva world, Thera Maha Moggalana asked the Buddha, "Venerable Sir! For those who perform meritorious deeds, do they have mansions and other riches prepared in the deva world even while they are still living in this world ?" To him the Buddha said, "My son, why do you ask? Have you not yourself seen the mansion and riches waiting for Nandiya in the Tavatimsa deva world? The devas await the coming of the good and generous ones, as relatives await the return of one who is long absent. When the good ones die, they are welcomed joyously to the abode of the devas."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 219: A man who has long been absent and has returned home safely from a distance is welcomed with joy by relatives, friends and well-wishers on his return.

 

Verse 220: In the same way, his good deeds will receive him who has done good when he goes from this world to the other, as relatives receive a dear one on his return.

End of Chapter Sixteen: Affection (Piyavagga)

難提獲得往生天界的榮耀


長期離開家鄉，到遠處去的親人平安歸來的時候，親朋好友和祝福的人都來歡迎他（她）。 (偈 219)


同理，作善業的人雖然往生，仍然得到善報，報一如親朋好友歡迎返鄉的親人。 (偈 220)


　　難提是波羅奈的富翁。他有一次聽佛陀說興建精舍給比丘有很大的法益，於是就在仙人墮處興建尖頂、佈置良好的大精舍。當他把這精舍捐獻給佛陀時，忉利天為他預留了一座華屋。

　　有一天，大目犍連尊者到忉利天時，看見忉利天為難提所預留的華屋，返回人間後，他請教佛陀：「世尊！世間做善行的人能夠在活著的時候就得到忉利天預留的華屋和其它的富貴嗎？」

　　佛陀回答他：「你怎麼問這種問題呢！你自己不是已經在忉利天親眼看見了嗎！天神等待善良慷慨的人前去，如同親友企盼長久不見的家人一樣。當善良的人逝世時，他們將受到熱切的歡迎，往生到天界 (註)。」


註：《天宮事註》說難提經過一生的布施後，死後往生忉利天。
