Dhammapada Verse 281

Vacanurakkhi manasa susamvuto
kayena ca nakusalam kayira
ete tayo kammapathe visodhaye
aradhaye magga' misippaveditam.

Verse 281: One should be careful in speech, be well-restrained in mind, and physically, too, one should do no evil. One should purify these three courses of action and accomplish the practice of the Path of Eight Constituents made known by the Buddhas.

The Story of a Swine-Peta

While residing at the Veluvana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (281) of this book, with reference to a swine-peta.

Once Thera Maha Moggallana was coming down the Gijjhakuta hill with Thera Lakkhana when he saw a miserable, ever-hungry peta, with the head of a swine and the body of a human being. On seeing the peta, Thera Maha Moggallana smiled but did not say anything. Back at the monastery, Thera Maha Moggallana, in the presence of the Buddha, talked about the swine-peta with its mouth swarming with maggots. The Buddha also said that he himself had seen that very peta soon after his attainment of Buddhahood, but that he did not say anything about it because people might not believe him and thus they would be doing wrong to him. Then the Buddha proceeded to relate the story about the swine-peta.

During the time of Kassapa Buddha, this particular peta was a bhikkhu who often expounded the Dhamma. On one occasion, he came to a monastery where two bhikkhus were staying together. After staying with those two for some time, he found that he was doing quite well because people liked his expositions. Then it occurred to him that it would be even better if he could make the other two bhikkhus leave the place and have the monastery all to himself. Thus, he tried to set one against the other. The two bhikkhus quarrelled and left the monastery in different directions. On account of this evil deed, that bhikkhu was reborn in Avici Niraya and he was serving out the remaining part of his term of suffering as a swine-peta with its mouth swarming with maggots. Then the Buddha exhorted, "A bhikkhu should be calm and well-restrained in thought, word and deed."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 281: One should be careful in speech, be well-restrained in mind, and physically, too, one should do no evil. One should purify these three courses of action and accomplish the practice of the Path of Eight Constituents made known by the Buddhas.

護持身、口、意

願言語謹慎，調伏心意，不以身作惡；願如此清淨身口意的人可以證得聖者所宣說的正法。 (偈 281)


　　大目犍連尊者有一次和勒叉那比丘下山時，看見一隻豬面人身、悲慘的餓鬼。這時候，大目犍連尊者只是微笑。回到精舍時，勒叉那比丘問尊者，因何微笑？尊者回答說，因為他看見那隻滿嘴蛆蟲的豬面人身餓鬼。佛陀這時候也說，在他證得究竟智慧，成為佛陀時，也曾親眼目睹該餓鬼，佛陀因此敘說該餓鬼的前世因緣：

　　在過去佛時，這餓鬼是一位經常為人講經說法的比丘。有一次，他到有兩位比丘居住的一處精舍去。停留期間，他發現當地的人歡喜聽他說法，他因此想到，如果能使這兩位比丘遠離該精舍，而為自己獨有，就再好也不過了。他於是開始分化離間這二位比丘，使他們爭論不休，終於都離開精舍。因為這惡業，他在死後，長期遭受苦報。今生 ，他也生為豬面人身，繼續受苦。

　　佛陀因此說：「身為比丘，應內心祥和，不可造身、口、意的惡業。」
