Dhammapada Verse 354

Sabbadanam dhammadanam jinati
sabbarasam dhammaraso jinati
sabbaratim dhammarati jinati
tanhakkhayo sabbadukkham jinati.

Verse 354: The gift of the Dhamma excels all gifts; the taste of the Dhamma excels all tastes; delight in the Dhamma excels all delights. The eradication of Craving (i.e., attainment of arahatship) overcomes all ills (samsara dukkha).

The Story of the Questions Raised by Sakka

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (354) of this book, with reference to four questions raised by Sakka, king of the devas.

On one occasion, at a meeting of the devas in the Tavatimsa realm, four questions were raised, but the devas failed to get the correct answers. Eventually, Sakka took these devas to the Buddha at the Jetavana monastery. After explaining their difficulty, Sakka presented the following four questions:

     (a) Among gifts, which is the best?

     (b) Among tastes, which is the best?

     (c) Among delights, which is the best?

     (d) Why is the eradication of craving said to be the most excellent?

To these questions, the Buddha replied, "Oh Sakka, the Dhamma is the noblest of all gifts, the best of all tastes and the best of all delights. Eradication of Craving leads to the attainment of arahatship and is, therefore, the greatest of all conquests."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 354: The gift of tile Dhamma excels all gifts; the taste of the Dhamma excels all tastes; delight in the Dhamma excels all delights. The eradication of Craving (i.e., attainment of arahatship) overcomes all ills (samsara dukkha).

At the end of the discourse, Sakka said to the Buddha, "Venerable Sir, if the gift of the Dhamma excels all gifts why are we not invited to share the merit whenever gifts of the Dhamma are made? Venerable Sir! I pray that, from now on, we may be given a share in the merit of good deeds". Then the Buddha asked all the bhikkhus to assemble and exhorted them to share the merit of all their good deeds with all beings.

Since then, it has become a custom to invite all beings from the thirty-one realms (bhumis) to come and share merit whenever a good deed is done.

所有的布施中，法施最殊勝，所有的味道中，法味最佳，所有的喜悅中，法喜最喜悅，毫無貪愛的人，克服所有的苦惱。 (偈354)


　　 　　有一次，忉利天的天神們聚集在一起討論四個問題，但無法得到最佳的答案。最後，帝釋和他們一齊赴祇樹給孤獨園去見佛陀，他們首先向佛陀說明他們的困難，接著向佛陀提出他們的四個問題：

　　1. 什麼是最佳的禮物？

　　2. 什麼是味道最好的東西？

　　3. 什麼是最喜悅的事？

　　4. 為什麼棄絕愛欲最卓越？

　　佛陀回答道：「佛法是所有禮物中最高貴的，滋味最佳，最喜悅的。棄絕愛欲，可以究竟解脫所有苦，因此，是所有成就中最卓越的。」

　　佛陀說完後，帝釋告訴佛陀：「尊者！如果佛法勝過所有的禮物，為什麼我們無緣分享功德呢？尊者，我盼望從今以後，我們也可以共霑法益。」

　　佛陀就召集並告誡所有的比丘，從此以後要與眾生共享所作的一切功德。

　　從此以後，邀請所有眾生，含括天神在內一齊共享所有功德(註)就成為僧伽的習俗。


(註) 邀請天、龍前來共享功德的偈語如下：

願眾生、天、龍與我們共享此功德！願他們永遠保護此世間和佛法。
