殺害父母的比丘 Lakundaka Bhaddiya Vatthu

Lakundaka Bhaddiya Vatthu

Dhammapada Verses 294 and 295

Mataram pitaram hantva
rajano dye ca khattiye
rattham sanucaram hantva
anigho yati1 brahmano.

Mataram pitaram hantva
rajano dve ca sotthiye
veyagghapancamam2 hantva
anigho yati brahmano.

Verse 294: Having killed mother (i.e., Craving), father (i.e., Conceit), and the two kings (i.e., Eternity-belief and Annihilation-belief), and having destroyed the kingdom (i.e., the sense bases and sense objects) together with its revenue officer (i.e., attachment), the brahmana (i.e., the arahat) goes free from dukkha.

Verse 295: Having killed mother, father, the two brahmin kings and having destroyed the hindrances of which the fifth (i.e., doubt) is like a tiger-infested journey, the brahmana (i.e., the arahat) goes free from dukkha.

1. anigho yati: goes unharmed, i.e., liberated from the round of rebirths (samsara).

2. veyagghapancamam: veyaggha + pancamam, i.e., like a tiger + the fifth. There are five hindrances, nivaranas. The reference here is to the fifth hindrance, viz., doubt (vicikiccha).

The Story of Thera Bhaddiya, the Short One

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (294) and (295) of this book, with reference to Thera Bhaddiya who was also known as Lakundaka Bhaddiya because of his short stature.

On one occasion, some bhikkhus came to visit and pay homage to the Buddha at the Jetavana monastery. While they were with the Buddha, Lakundaka Bhaddiya happened to pass by not far from them. The Buddha called their attention to the short thera and said to them, "Bhikkhus, look at that thera. He has killed both his father and his mother, and having killed his parents he goes about without any dukkha." The bhikkhus could not understand the statement made by the Buddha. So, they entreated the Buddha to make it clear to them and the Buddha explained the meaning to them.

In the above statement, the Buddha was referring to an arahat, who had eradicated craving, conceit, wrong beliefs, and attachment to sense bases and sense objects. The Buddha had made the statement by means of metaphors. Thus, the terms 'mother' and 'father' are used to indicate craving and conceit respectively. The Eternity-belief (Sassataditthi) and Annihilation-belief (Ucchedaditthi) are likened to two kings, attachment is likened to a revenue officer and the sense bases and sense objects (the ajjhatta and bahiddha ayatanas) are likened to a kingdom.

After explaining the meaning to them, the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 294: Having killed mother (i.e., Craving), father (i.e., Conceit), and the two kings (i.e., Eternity-belief and Annihilation-belief), and having destroyed the kingdom (i.e., the sense bases and sense objects) together with its revenue officer (i.e., attachment), the brahmana (i.e., the arahat) goes free from dukkha.

 

Verse 295: Having killed mother, father, the two brahmin kings and having destroyed the hindrances of which the fifth (i.e., doubt) is like a tiger-infested journey, the brahmana (i.e., the arahat) goes free from dukkha.

At the end of the discourse the visiting bhikkhus attained arahatship. 

殺害父母的比丘


阿羅漢殺父(傲慢)母(欲愛)，害剎帝利族二王(斷見與常見)，破王國(十二處)及其官員(執著)而不後悔。(偈 294) 

婆羅門(阿羅漢)殺父(傲慢)母(欲愛)，害婆羅族二王(斷見和常見)，掃除老虎當道的危險道路(五蓋)，而不後悔。(偈 295)


　　有一次，遠地的一群比丘來祇樹給孤獨園向佛陀頂禮問訊，拉枯塔卡跋提比丘正巧從不遠的地方經過，佛陀便指著他向這群比丘說：

　　「比丘們！看那比丘！他殺死自己的“父母”，而且一絲悔恨之心也有沒！」

　　這群比丘對佛陀的話十分困惑，因為他們知道拉枯塔卡跋提比丘並沒有殺害父母，所以懇求佛陀加以解釋。

　　佛陀因此向他們進一步解釋其中的涵意。其實這是一種譬喻，意思是說，阿羅漢去除貪愛、貢高、邪見，和對六根與六塵的執著。所謂的“父母”，分別指的是貪愛和貢高，常見和斷滅見就是兩位國王的譬喻，執著就是收取所得稅的稅務官員，而六根與六塵就是王國。

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.
