The Story of King Pasenadi of Kosala

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (204) of this book, with reference to King Pasenadi of Kosala.

One day, King Pasenadi of Kosala went to the Jetavana monastery after having his full morning meal. It was said that the king had eaten one quarter basket (about half a bushel) of rice with meat curry on that day; so while listening to the Buddha's discourse he felt very sleepy and was nodding most of the time. Seeing him nodding, the Buddha advised him to take a little less rice everyday and to decrease the amount on a sliding scale to the minimum of one-sixteenth part of the original amount he was taking. The king did as he was told and found that by eating less he became thin, but he felt very much lighter and enjoyed much better health. When he told the Buddha about this, the Buddha said to him, "O king! Health is a great boon; contentment is a great wealth; a close and trusted friend is the best relative; Nibbana is the greatest bliss."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 204: Health is the greatest gift, contentment is the greatest wealth, a trusted friend is the best relative, Nibbana is the greatest bliss.

飲食要節制


健康是最高的福報，知足是最好的財富，最可信賴的人就是最好的親友，涅槃是最究竟的喜悅。 (偈204)


　　憍薩羅國波斯匿王有一天吃完早餐後，前往祇樹給孤獨園。他當天吃太多的咖哩肉飯，所以在聽聞佛陀說法時，精神不振，不斷打瞌睡。

　　佛陀就勸誡他：「國王！進食應適量，身體才會舒適。」國王接受佛陀建議，從此以後奉行適量的飲食，身子因此比往昔輕盈，情緒愉快，也比較健康。

　　佛陀在國王向他敘說改善的情形時，告訴國王：「國王，健康是非常的福報。」
