The Story of Thera Dhammarama

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (364) of this book, with reference to Thera Dhammarama.

When it was made known to the disciples that the Buddha would realize Parinibbana in four months' time, most of the puthujjana bhikkhus (i.e., those who had not attained any of the Maggas) felt extremely depressed and were at a loss and did not know what to do. They just stayed close to the Buddha, hardly ever leaving his presence. However, there was a bhikkhu by the name of Dhammarama who kept to himself and did not go near the Buddha. His intention was to strive most ardently to attain arahatship before the passing away of the Buddha. So he strove hard in Insight Meditation Practice. Other bhikkhus, not understanding his attitude and his noble ambition, misunderstood his behaviour.

Those bhikkhus took Dhammarama to the Buddha and said to the Enlightened One, "Venerable Sir! This bhikkhu does not seem to have any affection or regard or reverence for you; he has been staying by himself while all the time other bhikkhus are staying close to Your Venerable presence." When other bhikkhus had said everything they wanted to say, Dhammarama respectfully explained to the Buddha why he had not come to see the Buddha and also reported that he had been striving his utmost in Insight Meditation Practice.

The Buddha was satisfied and was very pleased with the explanation and conduct of Dhammarama and he said, "My son, Dhammarama, you have done very well. A bhikkhu who loves and respects me should act like you. Those who made offerings of flowers, scents and incense to me are not really paying me homage. Only those who practise the Dhamma are the ones who truly pay homage to me."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 364: The bhikkhu who abides in the Dhamma, who delights in the Dhamma, who meditates on the Dhamma, and is ever mindful of the Dhamma, does not fall away from the Dhamma of the virtuous.

At the end of the discourse Thera Dhammarama attained arahatship.

尊重佛陀的方法


安住佛法，喜悅佛法，禪修佛法，思惟憶念佛法的比丘，不退轉。 (偈 364)


　　佛陀宣告四個月後即將般涅槃，很多尚未證得阿羅漢果的比丘因此非常沮喪，精神恍惚，不知該怎麼辦。 他們之中大部分的比丘就日夜不離佛陀身邊。但有一位達摩拉瑪比丘依然保持正常的作息，不來佛陀的身邊。 其他比丘誤解他的心意，便向佛陀報告。達摩拉瑪比丘於是恭敬地向佛陀解釋，他對佛陀最崇高的頂禮就是在佛陀般涅槃之前，證得阿羅漢果。

　　佛陀讚歎他：「做得很好！敬愛、尊重我的比丘應該像你一樣。只有真正奉行佛法的人才是真正頂禮我的人。」
