四處雲行的苦行者 Subhaddaparibbajaka Vatthu

Subhaddaparibbajaka Vatthu  


Dhammapada Verses 254 and 255

Akaseva padam natthi
samano natthi bahire
papancabhirata paja
nippapanca tathagata.

Akaseva padam natthi
samano natthi bahire
sankhara sassatta natthi
natthi buddhanaminjitam.

Verse 254: In the sky there is no track; outside the Buddha's Teaching there is no ariya bhikkhu (samana). All beings take delight in fetters (i.e., craving, pride and wrong view) that prolong samsara; all the Buddhas are free from these fetters.

Verse 255: In the sky there is no track; outside the Buddha's Teaching there is no ariya bhikkhu (samana). There is no conditioned thing that is permanent; all the Buddhas are unperturbed (by craving, pride and wrong view).

The Story of Subhadda the Wandering Ascetic

Verses (254) and (255) of this book were uttered by the Buddha in the Sal Grove of the Malla princes near Kusinara, just before the parinibbana (passing away) of the Buddha, in reply to the questions raised by Subhadda, the wandering ascetic (paribbajaka).

Subhadda the wandering ascetic was staying at Kusinara when he heard that the parinibbana of Gotama Buddha would take place in the last watch of that night. Subhadda had three questions which had been troubling him for a long time. He had already put these questions to other religious leaders, namely, Purana Kassapa, Makkhali Gosala, Ajita Kesakambala, Pakudha Kaccayana, Sancaya Belatthaputta and Nigantha Nataputta, but their answers did not satisfy him. He had not yet asked Gotama Buddha, and he felt that only the Buddha could answer his questions. So, he hurried off to the Sal Grove, but the Venerable Ananda did not allow him to see the Buddha, because the Buddha was by that time very weak. The Buddha overheard their conversation and consented to see Subhadda. Subhadda asked three questions. They are: (1) Are there any tracks in the sky? (2) Are there any ariya bhikkhus (samanas) outside the Teaching of the Buddha? and (3) Is there any conditioned thing (sankhara) that is permanent? The Buddha's answer to all the above questions was negative.

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 254: In the sky there is no track; outside the Buddha's Teaching there is no ariya bhikkhu (samana). All beings take delight in fetters (i.e., craving, pride and wrong view) that prolong samsara; all the Buddhas are free from these fetters.

 

Verse 255: In the sky there is no track; outside the Buddha's Teaching there is no ariya bhikkhu (samana). There is no conditioned thing that is permanent; all the Buddhas are unperturbed (by craving, pride and wrong view).

At the end of the discourse Subhadda attained Anagami Fruition and as requested by him the Buddha admitted him to the Order of the bhikkhus. Subhadda was the last one to become a bhikkhu in the life time of the Buddha. Eventually, Subhadda attained arahatship.

四處雲行的苦行者


天空中無道跡，只有佛陀的教法才能證得涅槃，世間人執著諸邪見，如來則不。 (偈 254)

天空中無道跡，只有佛陀的教法才能證得涅槃，五蘊無常，諸佛堅定，不隨境轉。 (偈 255)


　　四處雲行的苦行者須跋陀羅在拘尸那羅時，聽說佛陀當天晚上就要般涅槃了。他曾 經向不同宗教的負責人請教三個困擾他很久的問題，但是他們的答案都無法令他滿意。 雖然尚未請教過佛陀，但他覺得只有佛陀才能回答他的問題，於是急忙前去面見佛陀， 阿難尊者卻希望他不要去打擾佛陀，但佛陀聽見兩人的對話後，同意接見他，須跋陀羅 就向佛陀請教三個問題：

　　1. 天空是否有軌跡？

　　2. 佛陀教法外可否找到聖者 ？

　　3. 有沒有不是無常的緣起法？

　　佛陀對這三個問題的回答都是否定的。

Chapter Eighteen   Impurity

第十八章  污垢

བཅོ་བརྒྱད་པ་དྲི་མའི་ལེའུ།


254. Ākāseva padaṃ natthi, 

samaṇo natthi bāhire;

Papañcābhiratā pajā, 

nippapañcā tathāgatā.

255. Ākāseva padaṃ natthi, 

samaṇo natthi bāhire;

Saṅkhārā sassatā natthi, 

natthi buddhānamiñjitaṃ.


254. There is no track in the sky, and no recluse outside (the Buddha's dispensation). Mankind delights in worldliness, but the Buddhas are free from worldliness.

255. There is no track in the sky, and no recluse outside (the Buddha's dispensation). There are no conditioned things that are eternal, and no instability in the Buddhas.

［Recluse (samana): here used in the special sense of those who have reached the four supramundane stages.］


254.像空中沒有道路的痕跡一樣，佛法之外是沒有四果聖者的；眾生喜受結縛［1］，繼續生死流轉，但諸佛已脫離諸結。

255.像天空沒有道路的痕跡一樣，佛法之外是沒有四果聖者的；沒有因緣和合的事物是永恆不變的，諸佛已不受諸結所動。

【註釋】

［1］結縛：受結所繫縛。結，指欲貪、瞋恚、有身見、戒禁取見、疑等「五下分結」，以及色愛、無色愛、掉舉、我慢、無明等「五上分結」，共十結。


254.像空中没有道路的痕迹一样，佛法之外是没有四果圣者的；众生喜受结缚［1］，继续生死流转，但诸佛已脱离诸结。

255.像天空没有道路的痕迹一样，佛法之外是没有四果圣者的；没有因缘和合的事物是永恒不变的，诸佛已不受诸结所动。

【注释】

［1］结缚：受结所系缚。结，指欲贪、瞋恚、有身见、戒禁取见、疑等“五下分结”，以及色爱、无色爱、掉举、我慢、无明等“五上分结”，共十结。


༢༥༤༽ ནམ་མཁའ་ལ་ནི་ལམ་མེད་དེ། །ཕྱི་རོལ་པ་ལ་སྒྲུབ་པ་མེད། །མི་ནི་འཇིག་རྟེན་ཆོས་ལ་དགའ། །སངས་རྒྱས་འཇིག་རྟེན་ཆོས་དང་བྲལ། །

༢༥༥༽ ནམ་མཁའ་ལ་ནི་ལམ་མེད་དེ། །ཕྱི་རོལ་པ་ལ་སྒྲུབ་པ་མེད། །སྲིད་པའི་ཆོས་ལ་རྟག་པ་མེད། །སངས་རྒྱས་རྣམས་ལ་གཡོ་བ་མེད། །

Verse 392: If from somebody one should learn the Teaching of the Buddha, he should respectfully pay homage to that teacher, as a brahmin worships the sacrificial fire. The Story of Thera Sariputta While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (392) of this book, with reference to the Venerable Sariputta. The Venerable Sariputta was born of brahmin parents of Upatissa village; that was why he was named Upatissa. His mother was Sari. His very close friend was Kolita, another brahmin youth, son of Moggali. Both the youths were searching for the right doctrine, which would lead them to liberation from the round of rebirths, and both of them had a great desire to enter a religious Order. First, they went to Sancaya, but they were not satisfied with his teaching. Then they wandered all over Jambudipa looking for a tea...
