Dhammapada Verses 256 and 257

Na tena hoti dhammattho
yenattham sahasa naye
yo ca attham anatthanca
ubbo niccheyya pandito.

Asahasena dhammena
samena nayati pare
dhammassa gutto medhavi
"dhammattho" ti pavuccati.

Verse 256: He is not just if he decides a case arbitrarily; the wise man should decide after considering both what is right and what is wrong.

Verse 257: The wise man who decides not arbitrarily but in accordance with the law is one who safeguards the law; he is to be called 'one who abides by the law (dhammattho).'

The Story of the Judge

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (256) and (257) of this book with reference to some judges who were corrupt.

One day, some bhikkhus were returning from their round of alms-food when it rained and they went into a law court to take shelter. While they were there, they found out that some judges, having taken bribes, were deciding cases arbitrarily. They reported the matter to the Buddha and the Buddha replied, "Bhikkhus! In deciding cases, if one is influenced by affection or by monetary consideration, he cannot be called 'the just', or 'a judge who abides by the law.' If one weighs the evidence intelligently and decides a case impartially, then he is to be called, 'the just' or 'a judge who abides by the law.'"

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 256: He is not just if he decides a case arbitrarily; the wise man should decide after considering both what is right and what is wrong.

 

Verse 257: The wise man who decides not arbitrarily but in accordance with the law is one who safeguards the law; he is to be called 'one who abides by the law (dhammattho)'.


收受賄賂的法官

鹵莽處事的人不公正，智者應該辨別是非邪正之後，才下判斷。 (偈 256)

有智慧的人不鹵莽從事，反而依法斷事，護持正法，所以又是守法者。 (偈 257)


　　有一天，幾位比丘在舍衛城化緣後，正要返回祇樹給孤獨園。路上，天下大雨，他們就在法庭的大廳避雨，卻看見幾位法官當場收取賄賂之後，任意裁決案子。回到精舍後，他們向佛陀報告這件事。佛陀說：「比丘們！法官如果在斷案時受到金錢的影響，就不是遵守法律的公正法官。但如果能聰明地評估證據，然後公正斷案，就是遵守法律、公正的法官。」
