Dhammapada Verse 381 

Pamojjabahulo bhikkhu
pasanno buddhasasane
adhigacche padam santam
sankharupasamam sukham.

Verse 381: The bhikkhu who frequently feels joy and is devoted to the Teaching of the Buddha will realize Nibbana — the Tranquil, the Unconditioned, the Blissful.

The Story of Thera Vakkali

While residing at the Veluvana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (381) of this book, with reference to Thera Vakkali.

Vakkali was a brahmin who lived in Savatthi. One day when he saw the Buddha going on an alms-round in the city, he was very much impressed by the noble appearance of the Buddha. At the same time, he felt much affection and great reverence for the Buddha and asked permission to join the Order just to be near him. As a bhikkhu, Vakkali always kept close to the Buddha; he did not care much about other duties of a bhikkhu and did not at all practise concentration meditation. So, the Buddha said to him, "Vakkali, it will be of no use to you by always keeping close to me, looking at my face. You should practise concentration meditation; for, indeed, only the one who sees the Dhamma sees me. One who does not see the Dhamma does not see me. So, you must leave my presence." When he heard those words Vakkali felt very depressed. He left the Buddha as ordered, and climbed the Gijjhakuta hill with the intention of committing suicide by jumping down from the peak.

The Buddha, knowing full well the extent of Vakkali's grief and despondency, reflected that because of his great sorrow and despondency Vakkali might miss the chance of attaining the Maggas. Accordingly, he sent forth his radiance to Vakkali, made him feel his presence and appeared as if in person to Vakkali. With the Buddha near him, Vakkali soon forgot all his sorrow; he became cheerful and very much heartened.

To him the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 381: The bhikkhu who frequently feels joy and is devoted to the Teaching of the Buddha will realize Nibbana — the Tranquil, the Unconditioned, the Blissful.

At the end of the discourse Vakkali attained arahatship.

仰慕佛陀


對佛法具有歡喜心，信心十足的比丘，諸行解脫，證得究竟喜悅的寂靜安樂境界。(偈 381)


　　跋迦梨是舍衛城裡的一位婆羅門。有一天，他目睹佛陀到城裡來化緣。佛陀安祥、沈著的外表深深吸引他，他更因為對佛陀的執著而出家，加入僧伽，俾能更親近佛陀。出家為比丘後，他總是靠近佛陀身邊，而疏忽他的職責和修行。佛陀就告誡他：「跋迦梨，你這麼注意我這不完美的肉身是不可能得到任何法益的。只有真正領會佛法的人才算是真正"看見"我。不能領會佛法的人，並沒有"看見"我。所以你必須離開我的視線 (註)。」跋迦梨聽見佛陀這麼說後，十分沮喪，無法忍受下去，他就離開精舍，想要到山頂上，跳下來自殺。

　　這時候，佛陀清楚明白跋迦梨內心的痛苦，知道他可能因此喪失證得聖果的機會，就放光，使跋迦梨感覺佛陀好像就在他身邊。跋迦梨果真馬上忘記哀傷，內心安祥下來，正念也現前，他更決定要重新清淨自己的內心。不久，他就證得阿羅漢果。


備註：執著障礙修行，所以佛法不鼓勵偶像崇拜，不管任何宗教師多麼崇高或神聖，都不應偶像崇拜之。佛陀的教法中，人必須自求解脫，不可依賴他人。
