The Story of a Wood-Cutter's Son

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (296) to (301) of this book, with reference to the son of a wood-cutter.

Once in Rajagaha, a wood-cutter went into the woods with his son to cut some firewood. On their return home in the evening, they stopped near a cemetery to have their meal. They also took off the yoke from the two oxen to enable them to graze nearby; but the two oxen went away without being noticed by them. As soon as they discovered that the oxen were missing, the wood-cutter went to look for them, leaving his son with the cart of firewood. The father entered the town, looking for his oxen. When he returned to his son it was getting late and the city-gate was closed. Therefore, the young boy had to spend the night alone underneath his cart.

The wood-cutter's son, though young, was always mindful and was in the habit of contemplating the unique qualities of the Buddha. That night two ogres came to frighten him and to harm him. When one of the ogres pulled at the leg of the boy, he cried out, "I pay homage to the Buddha (Namo Buddhassa)". Hearing those words from the boy, the ogres got frightened and also felt that they must look after the boy. So, one of them remained near the boy, guarding him from all danger; the other went to the king's palace and brought the food-tray of King Bimbisara. The two ogres then fed the boy as if he were their own son. At the palace, the ogre left a written message concerning the royal food-tray; and this message was visible only to the king.

In the morning, the king's men discovered that the royal food-tray was missing and they were very upset and very much frightened. The king found the message left by the ogre and directed his men where to look for it. The king's men found the royal food-tray among the firewood in the cart. They also found the boy who was still sleeping underneath the cart. When questioned, the boy answered that his parents came to feed him in the night and that he went to sleep contentedly and without fear after taking his food. The boy knew only that much and nothing more. The king sent for the parents of the boy, and took the boy and his parents to the Buddha. The king, by that time, had heard that the boy was always mindful of the unique qualities of the Buddha and also that he had cried out "Namo Buddhassa", when the ogre pulled at his leg in the night.

The king asked the Buddha, "Is mindfulness of the unique qualities of the Buddha, the only dhamma that gives one protection against evil and danger, or is mindfulness of the unique qualities of the Dhamma equally potent and powerful?" To him the Buddha replied, "O king, my disciple! There are six things, mindfulness of which is a good protection against evil and danger."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 296: Fully alert and ever vigilant are Gotama Buddha's disciples, who by day and by night are always mindful of the qualities of the Buddha.

Verse 297: Fully alert and ever vigilant are Gotama Buddha's disciples, who by day and by night are always mindful of the qualities of the Dhamma.

Verse 298: Fully alert and ever vigilant are Gotama Buddha's disciples, who by day and by night are always mindful of the qualities of the Samgha.

Verse 299: Fully alert and ever vigilant are Gotama Buddha's disciples, who by day and by night are always mindful of the component parts of the body.

Verse 300: Fully alert and ever vigilant are Gotama Buddha's disciples, whose mind by day and by night always takes delight in being compassionate (lit., harmless).

Verse 301: Fully alert and ever vigilant are Gotama Buddha's disciples, whose mind by day and by night always takes delight in the cultivation (of good-will towards all).

At the end of the discourse the boy and his parents attained Sotapatti Fruition. Later they joined the Order and eventually they became arahats.

　　有一天王舍城裡的一位砍柴工人和他的兒子上山去砍柴。傍晚要回家的半路上，他們在靠近墓園的地方進食，也把兩隻公牛的軛解下來，讓它們去吃草。但這兩隻牛卻在他們不注意的情況下走失了，砍柴工人發現牛不見了，就去找牛，而叫兒子留下來看顧木柴。這砍柴工人最後在城裡找到牛，但天色已晚，城門都關上了。他的兒子只好一個人在牛車下過夜。

　　砍柴工人的兒子雖然年紀還小，但心中經常繫念佛陀的殊勝。那天晚上，兩個惡魔企圖嚇唬、傷害他。當其中一位惡魔拉他的腿時，他大聲喊：「南無佛！」惡魔聽到這男孩的叫聲時，受到驚嚇，反而覺得應照顧這男孩。其中之一的惡魔留下來保護男孩，使他免於任何危險，另一惡魔則到頻婆裟羅王的宮裡去偷取食物，並且留下文字，敘說他拿走王宮的食盤和其用途，這些文字只有頻婆裟羅王才能看得見。兩位惡魔就餵養這男孩，一如他們的孩子般。

　　第二天清晨，國王的僕人發現王宮的盤子不見了，就四處去找，但全找不著。最後，他們發現盤子在男孩身上，認為這男孩是小偷，而把他帶到國王面前。但當國王看見盤子上的文字時，就詢問男孩。男孩回答說當夜曾被父母餵食，吃飽後，他心滿意足的入睡了，毫無恐懼之心，除此以外，他一概不知。國王就派人去請男孩的父母來詢問，之後，國王帶他們一起去見佛陀。

　　國王問佛陀：「是不是只有繫念佛陀的殊勝才可以保護人，免於惡魔的迫害和危險？或者，繫念佛法的殊勝也同樣有效？」

　　佛陀說：「國王啊！繫念佛陀不是唯一可以保護人，免於惡魔和危險的方法，對六根中任何一根具足正念，都是護持一個人，免除惡魔迫害和危險的好方法。」

註１：佛陀未出家的如俗名。

註２：觀想佛陀的殊勝修持。

註３：觀想僧伽的殊勝。
