固執的比丘 Dubbacabhikkhu Vatth

 Dubbacabhikkhu Vatthu 

Dhammapada Verses 311, 312 and 313

Kuso yatha duggahito
hatthameva' nukantati
samannam dupparamattham
nirayayu' pakadhati.

Yam kinci sithilam kammam
samkilitthanca yam vatam
sankassaram brahmacariyam
na tam hoti mahapphalam.

Kayira ce kayirathenam
dalhamenam parakkame
sithilo hi paribbajo
bhiyyo akirate rajam.

Verse 311: Just as kusa grass if badly held cuts that very hand, so also, the ill-led life of a bhikkhu drags that bhikkhu down to niraya.

Verse 312: An act perfunctorily performed, or a practice that is depraved, or a questionable conduct of a bhikkhu is not of much benefit.

Verse 313: If there is anything to be done, do it well; do it firmly and energetically; for the slack life of a bhikkhu scatters much dust (of moral defilements).

The Story of the Obstinate Bhikkhu

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (311), (312) and (313) of this book, with reference to an obstinate bhikkhu.

Once, there was a bhikkhu who was feeling remorse for having unwittingly cut some grass. He confided about this to another bhikkhu. The latter was reckless and stubborn by nature, and he did not think much about committing small misdeeds. So he replied to the first bhikkhu, "Cutting grass is a very minor offence; if you just confide and confess to another bhikkhu you are automatically exonerated. There is nothing to worry about." So saying, he proceeded to uproot some grass with both hands to show that he thought very little of such trivial offences. When the Buddha was told about this, he reprimanded the reckless, stubborn bhikkhu.

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 311: Just as kusa grass if badly held cuts that very hand, so also, the ill-led life of a bhikkhu drags that bhikkhu down to niraya.
 
Verse 312: An act perfunctorily performed, or a practice that is depraved, or a questionable conduct of a bhikkhu is not of much benefit.
 
Verse 313: If there is anything to be done, do it well; do it firmly and energetically; for the slack life of a bhikkhu scatters much dust (of moral defilements).

At the end of the discourse the reckless obstinate bhikkhu realized the importance of restraint in the life of a bhikkhu and strictly obeyed the Fundamental Precepts for the bhikkhus. Later, through practice of Insight Meditation, that bhikkhu attained arahatship.

固執的比丘

如果錯抓孤沙草 (註1)，手會受傷，同理，比丘若造作邪行，也會趣向地獄。 (偈 311)

懈惰，犯戒，修梵行時卻心生懷疑的人都得不到大善報。 (偈 312)

應當作的事就盡力、堅定地作。放蕩的比丘，徒然增長欲望的塵垢。 (偈 313)

　　

有位比丘後悔曾經愚癡地砍伐一些樹木，就向另一位比丘透露他的心聲。但這位比丘卻說：「砍伐樹木不過是極其微小的戒 (註2) 而已，你已經向我表達悔意就好了，沒什麼好自責的。」說著說著，這比丘為了證明自己不把這種小小戒放在心上，就用雙手連根拔取一些樹木。甚至當佛陀告誡他時，他一開始也是桀傲不馴，頑強任性，但是當佛陀說法後，這桀傲頑強的比丘才明白，身為比丘，要克制身、口、意的行為。從此以後他嚴謹地遵守戒律。後來，更因為修習止觀，而證得阿羅漢果。


註１：「孤沙草」：香草的名字

註２：雖然禁止破壞樹木看起來似乎微不足道，也不可行，但佛陀的重點在於強調，人必須尊重所有的生命，不管它們可能多麼卑微，因為所有的生命都是相互依存的。今天，我們可以更進一步體會並珍惜佛陀的智慧，不可任意破壞自然環境的智慧。

Chapter Twenty Two  Hell

第二十二章  地獄（墮落）

ཉེར་གཉིས་པ་དམྱལ་བའི་ལེའུ།


311. Kuso yathā duggahito, 

hatthamevānukantati;

Sāmaññaṃ dupparāmaṭṭhaṃ, 

nirayāyupakaḍḍhati.

312. Yaṃ kiñci sithilaṃ kammaṃ, 

saṃkiliṭṭhañca yaṃ vataṃ;

Saṅkassaraṃ brahmacariyaṃ, 

na taṃ hoti mahapphalaṃ.

313. Kayirā ce kayirāthenaṃ,

daḷhamenaṃ parakkame;

Sithilo hi paribbājo, 

bhiyyo ākirate rajaṃ.


311. Just as kusa grass wrongly handled cuts the hand, so a recluse's life wrongly lived drags one to states of woe.

312. Any loose act, any corrupt observance, any life of questionable celibacy — none of these bear much fruit.

313. If anything is to be done, let one do it with sustained vigor. A lax monastic life stirs up the dust of passions all the more.


311.不好好握住古沙草的人，會被它割傷手部；同樣，不如法生活和修行的沙門（喻比丘），會被它牽入地獄的。

312.處事敷衍、修行敗壞、德行可疑的沙門，是無法得到大果報的。

313.該做的事要把它做好，要積極和踏實地做啊！因為，散漫［1］的比丘生活，只會令更多的煩惱塵埃飛揚。

【註釋】

［1］散漫：草率、敷衍塞責。

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...
