Titthiyasvaka Vatthu  

Dhammapada Verses 318 and 319

Avajje vajjamatino
vajje cavajjadassi no
micchaditthisamada
satta gacchanti duggatim.

Vajjanca vajjato natva
avajjanca avajjato
sammaditthisamadana
satta gacchanti suggatim.

Verse 318: Beings who imagine wrong in what is not wrong, who do not see wrong in what is wrong, and who hold wrong views go to a lower plane of existence (duggati).

Verse 319: Beings who know what is wrong as wrong. who know what is right as right, and who hold right views go to a happy plane of existence (suggati).

The Story of the Disciples of Non-Buddhist Ascetics

While residing at the Nigrodarama monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (318) and (319) of this book, with reference to some disciples of the Titthis (non-Buddhist ascetics).

The disciples of the Titthis did not want their children to mix with the children of the followers of the Buddha. They often told their children, "Do not go to the Jetavana monastery, do not pay obeisance to the bhikkhus of the Sakyan clan." On one occasion, while the Titthi boys were playing with a Buddhist boy near the entrance to the Jetavana monastery, they felt very thirsty. As the children of the disciples of the Titthis had been told by their parents not to enter a Buddhist monastery, they asked the Buddhist boy to go to the monastery and bring some water for them. The young Buddhist boy went to pay obeisance to the Buddha after he had had a drink of water, and told the Buddha about his friends who were forbidden by their parents to enter a Buddhist monastery. The Buddha then told the boy to tell the non-Buddhist boys to come and have water at the monastery. When those boys came, the Buddha gave them a discourse to suit their various dispositions. As a result, those boys became established in faith in the Three Gems i.e., the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Samgha.

When the boys went home, they talked about their visit to the Jetavana monastery and about the Buddha teaching them the Three Gems. The parents of the boys, being ignorant, cried, "Our sons have been disloyal to our faith, they have been ruined," etc. Some intelligent neighbours advised the wailing parents to stop weeping and to send their sons to the Buddha. Somehow, they agreed and the boys as well as their parents went to the Buddha.

The Buddha knowing why they had come spoke to them in verse as follows:

Verse 318: Beings who imagine wrong in what is not wrong, who do not see wrong in what is wrong, and who hold wrong views go to a lower plane of existence (duggati).
 
Verse 319: Beings who know what is wrong as wrong. who know what is right as right, and who hold right views go to a happy plane of existence (suggati).

At the end of the discourse all those people came to be established in faith in the Three Gems, and after listening to the Buddha's further discourses, they subsequently attained Sotapatti Fruition.

孩童拜訪佛陀


邪見視為正見，正見視為邪見，懷有此種邪見的人，墮落地獄。(偈 318)

錯就是錯，對就是對，心懷正見的人，趣向善趣。(偈 319)


　　有一位外道的信徒們不希望他們的孩子和佛陀信徒的孩子混雜在一起，就告訴他們的孩子：「不要去祇樹給孤獨園，不可向釋迦牟尼的比丘們頂禮。」

　　有一次，這些孩子們到祇樹給孤獨園附近遊玩，不久，感覺十分口渴，但記起父母告誡，而不敢進入精舍，就要其中一位父母是佛陀信徒的小孩進入精舍要水來喝。這小孩進入精舍後，先喝了一杯水，才去向佛陀頂禮問訊，並說他的朋友們因為父母的教誨，而不敢進入精舍。佛陀就邀請他們全部進來喝水，並依孩子們的個性講說佛法。這些孩子們也因此對三寶有信念。

　　回家後，這群孩子們向父母敘說進入精舍，並且聽聞佛陀說法的情形。他們無明的父母，卻大聲叫道：「我們的孩子對我們的宗教不夠虔誠，他們被毀了。」

　　鄰居們有些是佛陀的信徒，聽見他們這麼喊叫，就過來向他們解釋佛法的殊勝。他們才開始去拜訪祇樹給孤獨園，聽佛陀說法，終對三寶有了正確的信念。
