 Kukkutandakhadika Vatthu 




Dhammapada Verse 291

Paradukkhupadhanena
athno sukhamicchati
verasamsaggasamsattho
vera so na parimuccati.

Verse 291: He who seeks his own happiness by inflicting pain on others, being entangled by bonds of enmity, cannot be free from enmity.

The Story of the Woman Who Ate up the Eggs of a Hen

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (291) of this book, with reference to a feud between a woman and a hen.

Once, there lived a woman in a village near Savatthi. She had a hen in her house; every time the hen laid an egg she would eat it up. The hen was very much hurt and angry and made a vow to have vengeance on the woman and made a wish that it should be reborn as some being that would be in a position to kill the offspring of that woman. The hen's wish was fulfilled as it was reborn as a cat and the woman was reborn as a hen in the same house. The cat ate up the eggs of the hen. In their next existence the hen became a leopard and the cat became a deer. The leopard ate up the deer as well as its offspring. Thus, the feud continued for five hundred existences of the two beings. At the time of the Buddha one of them was born as a woman and the other an ogress.

On one occasion, the woman was returning from the house of her parents to her own house near Savatthi. Her husband and her young son were also with her. While they were resting near a pond at the roadside, her husband went to have a bath in the pond. At that moment the woman saw the ogress and recognized her as her old enemy. Taking her child she fled from the ogress straight to the Jetavana monastery where the Buddha was expounding the Dhamma and put her child at the feet of the Buddha. The ogress who was in hot pursuit of the woman also came to the door of the monastery, but the guardian spirit of the gate did not permit her to enter. The Buddha, seeing her, sent the Venerable Ananda to bring the ogress to his presence. When the ogress arrived, the Buddha reprimanded both the woman and the ogress for the long chain of feud between them. He also added, "If you two had not come to me today, your feud would have continued endlessly. Enmity cannot be appeased by enmity; it can only be appeased by loving-kindness."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 291: He who seeks his own happiness by inflicting pain on others, being entangled by bonds of enmity, cannot be free from enmity.

At the end of the discourse the ogress took refuge in the three Gems, viz., the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Samgha, and the woman attained Sotapatti Fruition.

唯有愛可以止息恨意 (註)

為了追求自己的快樂而使他人痛苦的人，將為瞋恚所束縛而無法解脫。(偈291)


　　舍衛城中有一位婦人養了一隻母雞。每次母雞下蛋時，這婦人就打破雞蛋，惹得母 雞非常生氣，也因此，下一世時這隻母雞往生成貓，婦人往生成母雞，更湊巧的是，兩 人往生在同一棟屋子裡。貓於是吃光母雞生下來的蛋。再下一世時，母雞變成豹，貓變 成鹿，豹咬死鹿和它的子女。兩人之間累世的仇恨不斷地上演。佛陀在世時，他們又變 成一位婦女和一隻惡魔。

　　有一次，這婦女，她的丈夫和幼小的兒子一齊從娘家返回他們靠近舍衛城的家時， 在路旁的池塘邊休息，婦人的丈夫跳進池塘洗澡。這時候，她認出有個人是惡魔的化身 ，而且就是自己累世以來的世仇。她趕緊帶著孩子，急忙逃往佛陀正在講經說法的經舍 ，把孩子放在佛陀的腳下。這惡魔因此無法進入。佛陀叫惡魔進來，並且告誡她們兩人 ：「今天，妳們兩人如果沒有來到我這裡，妳們累世以來的仇恨就永無止盡。仇恨無法 平息仇恨，只有慈悲才能止息仇恨。」仔細思量佛陀的教誨後，兩人明白仇恨確實一無 是處，並承認彼此的愚癡，便決定止息累世以來無意義的仇恨。
