假裝已經證得聖果的比丘 Vaggumudatiriya Bhikkhu Vatthu

Vaggumudatiriya Bhikkhu Vatthu 


Dhammapada Verse 308

Seyyo ayogulo bhutto
tatto aggisikhupamo
yance bhunjeyya dussilo
ratthapindamasannato.

Verse 308: It is better for one to eat a red-hot lump of iron burning like a flame than to eat alms-food offered by the people, if one is without morality (sila) and unrestrained in thought, word and deed.

The Bhikkhus Who Lived on the Bank of the Vaggumuda River

While residing at the Mahavana forest near Vesali, the Buddha uttered Verse (308) of this book, with reference to the bhikkhus who spent the vassa on the bank of the Vaggumuda River.

At that time, there was a famine in the country of the Vajjis. So, to enable them to have enough food, those bhikkhus made it appear to the people that they had attained Magga and Phala although they had not done so. The people from the village, believing them and respecting them, offered much food to them leaving very little for themselves.

At the end of the vasa, as was customary, bhikkhus from all parts of the country came to pay homage to the Buddha. The bhikkhus from the bank of the river Vaggumuda also came. They looked hale and hearty while the other bhikkhus looked pale and worn out. The Buddha talked to all the bhikkhus and enquired how they fared during the vassa. To the bhikkhus from Vaggumuda River the Buddha specifically asked whether they had any difficulty in getting alms-food on account of the famine. They answered that they had no difficulty at all in getting alms-food.

The Buddha knew how those bhikkhus had managed to get enough alms-food. But he wanted to teach them on this point, so he asked, "How did you manage so well in getting alms-food throughout the vassa ?" Then the bhikkhus told him how they discussed among themselves and decided that they should address one another in such a way that the villagers would think that they had really attained jhana, Magga and Phala. Then the Buddha asked them whether they had really attained jhana, Magga and Phala. When they answered in the negative, the Buddha reprimanded them.

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 308: It is better for one to eat a red-hot lump of iron burning like a flame than to eat alms-food offered by the people, if one is without morality (sila) and unrestrained in thought, word and deed.

假裝已經證得聖果的比丘


如果犯戒，不能調御身口意時，與其接受他人的供養，不如吞赤焰熔熔的火紅鐵丸。 (偈308)


　　有一年，跋提發生飢荒，某些比丘為了要有足夠的食物，就假裝他們已經證得清靜聖果。村子裡的人不明就裡，卻相信、尊敬他們，而大量供養，只留下極少數的食物給自己。

　　 結夏安居結束後，全國的比丘遵照當時的習慣，聚集起來，向佛陀頂禮問訊。這些跋提的比丘也來了。他們形色飽滿歡愉，其它地方的比丘則面黃飢瘦。佛陀垂詢所有的比丘如何結夏安居。他特別詢問來自跋提的這群比丘們，飢荒時，是否有獲得供養的問題？這群比丘回答說，沒有任何問題。

　　事實上，佛陀知道這群比丘為什麼會得到那麼多供養。為了藉機教誨他們，佛陀就問：「你們如何在飢荒期間，得到那麼多的供養來結夏安居？」這群比丘回答說，他們經過討論之後，決定作假，利用彼此之間的回答，來誤導村人，使村民以為他們都已經證得清靜聖果。佛陀馬上問他們，是否真正證得聖果？他們說沒有。佛陀於是告誡他們，如果名不符實，而接受信徒的供養，是不如法，而且很危險。
