比丘應該知足 Vipakkhasevaka Bhikkhu Vatthu


Vipakkhasevaka Bhikkhu Vatthu  



Dhammapada Verses 365 and 366

Salabham natimanneyya
na' nnesam pihayam care
annesam pihayam bhikkhu
samadhim nadhigacchati.

Appalabhopi ce bhikkhu
salabham nati mannati
tam ve deva pasamasanti
suddhajivim atanditam.

Verse 365: One should not despise what one has received (by proper means), nor should one envy others their gains. The bhikkhu who envies others cannot attain Concentration (Samadhi).

Verse 366: Though he receives only a little, if a bhikkhu does not despise what he has received (by proper means), the devas will surely praise him who leads a pure life and is not slothful.

The Story of a Bhikkhu Who Associated With a Follower of Devadatta

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (365) and (366) of this book, with reference to a bhikkhu who was on friendly terms with a follower of Devadatta.

Once, a bhikkhu disciple of the Buddha, being very friendly with a follower of Devadatta, paid a visit to the monastery of Devadatta and stayed there for a few days. Other bhikkhus reported to the Buddha that he had been mixing with the followers of Devadatta and that he had even gone to the monastery of Devadatta, spent there a few days, eating, sleeping and apparently enjoying the choice food and the comforts of that monastery. The Buddha sent for that bhikkhu and asked him whether what he had heard about his behaviour was true. The bhikkhu admitted that he had gone to the monastery of Devadatta for a few days, but he told the Buddha that he had not embraced the teaching of Devadatta.

The Buddha then reprimanded him and pointed out that his behaviour made him appear like a follower of Devadatta. To him the Buddha said, "My son, even though you have not embraced the doctrine of Devadatta, you are going about as if you were one of his followers. A bhikkhu should be contented with what he gets and should not covet other people's gains. A bhikkhu who is filled with envy at the good fortune of others will not attain concentration (samadhi), or Insight, or the Path that leads to Nibbana (Magga). Only the bhikkhu who is contented with whatever he gets will be able to attain concentration, Insight and the Path."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 365: One should not despise what one has received (by proper means), nor should one envy others their gains. The bhikkhu who envies others cannot attain Concentration (Samadhi).
Verse 366: Though he receives only a little, if a bhikkhu does not despise what he has received (by proper means), the devas will surely praise him who leads a pure life and is not slothful.

比丘應該知足


不要輕蔑自己所有的東西，不要羨慕別人所有的東西，羨慕他人的比丘無法證得禪定。(偈 365)

比丘雖然所得不多，但不輕蔑所得，諸天也讚歎生活如此清淨又精進的比丘。(偈 366)


　　佛陀的一位弟子和提婆達兜的一位弟子十分友好，而提婆達兜曾多次謀害佛陀不果。這比丘前往提婆達兜的精舍，並且在那兒停留好幾天，吃、住、睡都在該精舍，並且享受種種招待。佛陀的其他弟子就向佛陀報告他的所做所為，佛陀就請這比丘來，加以詢問。這比丘承認有這回事，但辯稱他只是停留在該精舍，並不接受他們的教義。

　　佛陀告誡他：「比丘！即使你不接受提婆達兜的邪說，但你的作為卻會讓人以為你是他的信徒。身為比丘，應滿足於自己所擁有的，不可以垂涎他人的東西。若妄羨他人的東西，比丘就無法修持三摩地、止觀(註)，或引領至涅槃的八正道。只有知足的比丘，才能證得三摩地止觀和八正道。

註：「觀」對無常、苦和無我的直觀。戒律，規範言語和行為；定，調伏心念；但只有觀才能如實知見諸法。純知識的理解無法達到觀，只有直接禪修觀照自身的身心運作，才有可能達到觀的境界。

25. Bhikkhuvaggo

Chapter Twenty Five  The Monk

第二十五章 比丘

ཉེར་ལྔ་པ་དགེ་སློང་གི་ལེའུ།


365. Salābhaṃ nātimaññeyya, 

nāññesaṃ pihayaṃ care;

Aññesaṃ pihayaṃ bhikkhu, 

samādhiṃ nādhigacchati.

366. Appalābhopi ce bhikkhu, 

salābhaṃ nātimaññati;

Taṃ ve devā pasaṃsanti, 

suddhājīviṃ atanditaṃ.


365. One should not despise what one has received, nor envy the gains of others. The monk who envies the gains of others does not attain to meditative absorption.

366. A monk who does not despise what he has received, even though it be little, who is pure in livelihood and unremitting in effort — him even the gods praise.


365.莫輕視自己依正途擁有的東西，莫羨慕或妒忌他人獲得的東西；羨慕或妒忌他人的比丘，是無法獲得定力的。

366.比丘所得雖少，若不輕視自己依正途所得，生活清淨，又不懶散，諸天必會稱讚的。


365.莫轻视自己依正途拥有的东西，莫羡慕或妒忌他人获得的东西；羡慕或妒忌他人的比丘，是无法获得定力的。

366.比丘所得虽少，若不轻视自己依正途所得，生活清净，又不懒散，诸天必会称赞的。


༣༦༥༽ རང་གི་རྙེད་པར་བརྙས་མི་བྱ། །གཞན་གྱི་རྙེད་པར་ཕྲག་མི་དོག །གཞན་གྱི་རྙེད་པར་ཕྲག་དོག་པའི། །དགེ་སློང་བསམ་གཏན་འཐོབ་མི་འགྱུར། །

༣༦༦༽ ཇི་ཙམ་རྙེད་པ་ཆུང་ན་ཡང་། །བརྙས་མི་མཛད་པའི་དགེ་སློང་གང་། །འཚོ་བ་རྣམ་དག་འབད་རྩོལ་ནི། །རྒྱུན་ལྡན་དེ་ལ་ལྷས་ཀྱང་བསྔགས། །
