vacasamyato samyatuttamo
ajjhattarato samahito
eko santusito tamahu bhikkhum.

The Story of a Bhikkhu Who Killed a Swan (Hamsa)

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (362) of this book, with reference to a bhikkhu who killed a swan.

Once there was a bhikkhu who was very skilful in throwing stones; he could even hit fast-moving objects without fail. One day, while sitting with another bhikkhu after having their bath in the Aciravati River, he saw two swans flying at some distance. He told his friend that he would get one of the swans by throwing a stone at it. At that instant, the swan, hearing voices, turned its neck and the bhikkhu threw a pebble at the bird. The pebble went through one eye and came out of the other eye of the bird. The bird cried out in pain and agony and dropped dead at the feet of the young bhikkhu.

Other bhikkhus seeing the incident took the young bhikkhu to the Buddha. The Buddha reprimanded him and said, "My son, why have you killed this bird? Why especially you, a member of my Order, who should be practising loving-kindness to all beings and who should be striving ardently for liberation from the round of rebirths? Even during the period outside the Teaching, the wise practised morality and observed the precepts. A bhikkhu must have control over his hands, his feet and his tongue."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 362: He who controls his hand, controls his foot, controls his speech, and has complete control of himself; who finds delight in Insight Development Practice and is calm; who stays alone and is contented; — him they call a bhikkhu.

比丘殺死大雁鳥


調伏手、足及言語，調伏居於主宰地位的心，內心喜悅、寂靜、獨處、知足的人，才是真比丘。 (偈362)


　　有一位比丘善於投擲石頭，即使快速移動的目標，也能準確投中。有一天，他和另一位比丘到河中沐浴，完畢後，他們坐著休息。這時候，他看見兩隻大雁鳥在天上飛，他告訴同伴，他可以用石頭擲中其中一隻的眼睛。說完之後，他就拾起一塊鵝卵石，瞄準其中一隻大雁鳥投了出去，結果如他所說的直接命中。大雁鳥一聲哀號後，墮落在這年輕比丘的腳下一命嗚呼。

　　同伴目睹這件慘事後，向佛陀報告。佛陀告誡他：「比丘！你為什麼要殺大雁鳥呢？尤其身為比丘，更應訓練自己對眾生要有慈悲心，並且精進求解脫。比丘一定要調伏身、口、意(註)。」


（註）比丘應遵守四淨戒：

1. 別解脫律儀戒（Patimokkha Sila）

2. 根律儀戒（Indriyasamvara Sila）有關調伏感官的戒律

3. 活命遍淨戒（Ajivaparisuddhi Sila）有關生活清淨（正命）的戒律

4. 資具依止戒（Paccayasannissita Sila）關係使用生活資具的戒律
