The Story of a Fisherman Named Ariya

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (270) of this book, with reference to a fisherman named Ariya.

Once, there was a fisherman who lived near the north gate of Savatthi. One day through his supernormal power, the Buddha found that time was ripe for the fisherman to attain Sotapatti Fruition. So on his return from the alms-round, the Buddha, followed by the bhikkhus, stopped near the place where Ariya was fishing. When the fisherman saw the Buddha, he threw away his fishing gear and came and stood near the Buddha. The Buddha then proceeded to ask the names of his bhikkhus in the presence of the fisherman, and finally, he asked the name of the fisherman. When the fisher man replied that his name was Ariya, the Buddha said that the Noble Ones (ariyas) do not harm any living being, but since the fisherman was taking the lives of fish he was not worthy of his name.

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 270: He who harms living beings is, for that reason, not an ariya (a Noble One); he who does not harm any living being is called an ariya.

At the end of the discourse the fisherman attained Sotapatti Fruition.

人如其名


殺生的人不是聖者，不害有情眾生的人，才是聖者。(偈270)


　　漁夫阿利亞住在舍衛城北邊的城門附近。有一天，佛陀透過神通，知道阿利亞證得 初果的機緣已經成熟，就在化緣後回精舍的路上，和眾多比丘走到阿利亞釣魚的地方。 阿利亞瞥見佛陀時，放下釣魚竿，走到佛陀身邊。佛陀就當著他的面，詢問所有比丘的 名字，最後佛陀也問他的名字。他告訴佛陀他的名字是阿利亞。

　　佛陀告訴他，他名字的意思是聖者，但聖者不傷害任何眾生，而他卻奪走魚的生命，實在有辱他的名字。他明白佛陀鼓勵他放棄殺害眾生的生活方式，更要培養對眾生的慈悲關懷 (註)。


備註：追求解脫的人絕對不可殺害任何生命，不管其生命多麼小或卑微。一切眾生必需絕對尊重所有的生命，才能與宇宙究竟和諧。當今的自然保護理念和運動與此一理念相應。
