行醫的比丘 Culasaribhikkhu Vatthu

Culasaribhikkhu Vatthu


Dhammapada Verses 244 and 245

Sujivam ahirikena
kakasurena dhamsina
pakkhandina pagabbhena
samkilitthena jivitam.

Hirimata ca dujjivam
niccam sucigavesina
alinena' ppagabbhena
suddhajivena passata.

Verse 244: Life is easy for one who is shameless and bold as a crow, who slanders others and is pretentious, aggressive and corrupt.

Verse 245: Life is hard for one with a sense of shame, who always seeks purity, who is free from attachment, who is modest and who sees clearly what is proper livelihood.

The Story of Culasari

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (244) and (245) of this book, with reference to a bhikkhu named Culasari who practised medicine.

One day, Culasari came back after ministering to a patient. On his way he met Thera Sariputta and related to him how he went to treat a patient and had been given some delicious food for his services. He also begged Thera Sariputta to accept some of the food from him. Thera Sariputta did not say anything to him but continued on his way. Thera Sariputta refused to accept food from that bhikkhu because that bhikkhu had transgressed the law prohibiting bhikkhus from practising medicine. Other bhikkhus reported about this to the Buddha and he said to them, "Bhikkhus! A bhikkhu who is shameless is coarse in thought, word and deed. He is arrogant like a crow, he would find a living by unlawful means and live in comfort. On the other hand, life for a bhikkhu who has a sense of shame is not easy."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 244: Life is easy for one who is shameless and bold as a crow, who slanders others and is pretentious, aggressive and corrupt.

 

Verse 245: Life is hard for one with a sense of shame, who always seeks purity, who is free from attachment, who is modest and who sees clearly what is proper livelihood.

At the end of the discourse many people attained Sotapatti Fruition. 


行醫的比丘


不知羞恥，鹵莽如烏鴉，詆譭他人，粗暴邪惡的人，生活隨便。(偈244)

知所慚愧，清淨不染，謙遜，清淨觀照察覺的人，生活戒慎。(偈245)


　　小沙彌比丘懂得醫藥病理。有一天，他看完一位病人後，在回去的路上遇見舍利弗 尊者，他向尊者說自己醫療後，得到非常美味的食物做為醫療的報酬。他請舍利弗尊者與 他分享這些美味。但舍利弗尊者一言不發地離他而去。舍利弗尊者之所以不接受小沙彌比丘的食物，是因為小沙彌比丘違犯比丘「不可因為個人利益而從事醫療行為」的戒律。

　　佛陀知道事情的來龍去脈後，說：「比丘們！無行比丘的身、口、意不清淨。同時，傲慢得像隻烏鴉。他會利用不正當的手段去獲取舒適的生活。相反的，知羞恥的比丘，日子艱困。」
