Atthamhi jatamhi sukha sahaya

The Story of Mara

While residing in a monastery near the Himalayas. the Buddha uttered Verses (331), (332) and (333) of this book, with reference to Mara, who tried to entice him to rule as a king.

Once, while the Buddha was residing near the Himalayas, he found that many people were being ill-treated by some wicked kings. It then occurred to him whether it would be possible to prevent them from ill-treating those who should not be ill-treated and make the kings rule justly and wisely. Mara knew what the Buddha was thinking and planned to entice the Buddha to rule as a king. To him the Buddha replied, "O wicked Mara! Your teaching and my teaching are quite different. You and I cannot have any discussion. This is my teaching".

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 331: It is good to have friends when the need arises; it is good to be content with anything that is available; it is good to have merit when life is about to end; it is good to be rid of all dukkha.

 

Verse 332: In this world it is good to be dutiful to one's mother; also it is good to be dutiful to one's father. In this world it is good to minister unto samanas; also it is good to minister unto brahmanas.

 

Verse 333: It is good to have virtue till old age, it is good to have unshakable faith, it is good to gain wisdom, it is good to do no evil.

魔波旬企圖慫恿佛陀


在患難的時候，得遇善友是一件好事；知足是一件好事；生命即將結束時，能具足功德是一件好事；能夠解除所有苦是一件好事。 (偈331)

今生能禮敬、照顧母親是件好事；今生能禮敬、照顧父親是件好事；今生能禮敬、照顧沙門是件好事；今生能禮敬、照顧聖者(註)是件好事； (偈332)

老年時，仍然能夠持戒是件好事；具有正信是件好事；智慧具足是件好事；不造作惡業是件好事。(偈333)


　　有一次，佛陀在喜馬拉雅山附近居留時，發現很多百姓受到暴虐君主不公平的統治， 他心想，是否有法子可以使這些君主能公平、如法地善待百姓。魔波旬明白佛陀的心思後，就慫恿佛陀當國王。

　　佛陀對魔波旬說：「邪惡的魔波旬！你的教法和我的大不相同，你無法左右我，人應該警覺那些口口聲聲要幫助我們，而實際上卻處處為自己利益打算的 “朋友"。」


註：「聖者」：指佛陀、阿羅漢...等
