The Story of Deva Ankura

While on a visit to the Tavatimsa deva realm, the Buddha uttered Verses (356) to (359) of this book, with reference to a deva named Ankura.

The Buddha visited the Tavatimsa deva realm to expound the Abhidhamma to Deva Santusita, who had been his mother. During that time, there was a deva named Indaka in Tavatimsa. Indaka, in his last existence as a man, had offered a little alms-food to Thera Anuruddha. As this good deed was made to a thera within the period of the Buddha's Teaching he was amply rewarded for it. Thus, on his death he was reborn in the Tavatimsa realm and was lavishly bestowed with the luxuries of the deva world. At that time, there was also another deva by the name of Ankura in Tavatimsa who had given much in charity; in fact, many times more than what Indaka had given. But his charity was made outside the period of the Teaching of any of the Buddhas. So, in spite of his lavish and grand charities, he was enjoying the benefits of the life of a deva on a much smaller scale than Indaka, who had offered very little. As the Buddha was then at Tavatimsa, Ankura asked him the reason for the discrepancy in gaining the benefits. To him the Buddha answered, "O deva! When giving charities and donations you should choose whom you give, for acts of charities are just like seeds. Seeds put into fertile soil will grow into strong, vigorous plants or trees and will bear much fruit; but you had sown your seed in poor soil, so you reap poorly."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 356: Weeds damage fields; lust spoils all beings. Therefore, giving to those free from lust yields great benefit.

 

Verse 357: Weeds damage fields; ill will spoils all beings. Therefore, giving to those free from ill will yields great benefit.

 

Verse 358: Weeds damage fields; ignorance spoils all beings. Therefore, giving to those free from ignorance yields great benefit.


Verse 359: Weeds damage fields; covetousness spoils all beings. Therefore, giving to those free from covetousness yields great benefit.

雜草使田地荒蕪，欲望害了世人，因此，布施遠離欲望的人，可以得到大果報。(偈 356)

雜草使田地荒蕪，瞋恚害了世人，因此，布施沒有瞋恚心的人，可以得到大果報。(偈 357)

雜草使田地荒蕪，愚癡害了世人，因此，布施不愚癡的人，可以得到大果報。(偈 358)

雜草使田地荒蕪，貪愛害了世人，因此，布施沒有貪愛的人，可以得到大果報。(偈 359)


　　有一次，佛陀到忉利天去向刪兜率說阿毗達摩(論)。他是佛陀母親逝世後往生成的天神。這時候，在忉利天上有一位天神。因陀迦的前世是人，當時他曾經供養少許的食物給阿那律陀尊者，因此往生忉利天，享受大果報。

　　另有一位名叫安苦拉的天神，他的供養比因陀迦多了很多倍，但供養的對象卻不是聖者，所以儘管大量供養，也往生忉利天，但往生後所享受的果報卻遠不如供養較少的因陀迦。因此，當佛陀到忉利天時，安苦拉就請問佛陀，為什麼果報的差別如此懸殊？

　　佛陀告訴他：「安苦拉，布施和供養時，應該有智慧地考慮布施和供養的對象，布施和供養就像種子。播種在肥沃土地的種子會豐收，但你卻把種子播種在貧瘠的土地上，所以果報就少了。」
