The Story of Thera Pilindavaccha

While residing at the Veluvana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (408) of this book, with reference to Thera Vaccha, who was also known as Thera Pilindavaccha, due to his offensive ways.

Thera Pilindavaceha had a very offensive way of addressing people: he would often say, "Come here, you wretch", or "Go there, you wretch" and such other things. Other bhikkhus reported about him to the Buddha. The Buddha sent for him, and spoke to him on the matter. Then, on reflection the Buddha found that for the past five hundred existences, the thera had been born only in the families of the brahmins, who regarded themselves as being superior to other people. So the Buddha said to the bhikkhus, "Bhikkhus! Thera Vaccha addresses others as 'wretch' only by force of habit acquired in the course of his five hundred existences as a brahmin, and not out of malice. He has no intention of hurting others, for an arahat does not harm others."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 408: Him I call a brahmana, who speaks gentle, instructive and true words, and who does not offend anyone by speech.

習氣的力量


委婉說如法、有法益的話；實話實說；不以言語觸怒他人的人，我稱之為婆羅門 (註)。 (偈408)


　　比利陀婆遮尊者說話的口氣往往十分激動，他經常對人說：

「過來，你這個可憐蟲！」或者「走開，你這個可憐蟲！」等等。

　　其他比丘向佛陀報怨他的態度。佛陀就請他來，勸誡他。佛陀並且透過神通得知，過去很多世時，比利陀婆遮尊都出生在深信婆羅門至上的婆羅門家中。

　　佛陀說：「比丘們！不要因為他的言語而感覺受到冒犯。他說『可憐蟲』時，只是累世以來身為婆羅門所養成的習氣而已，並沒有惡意，他沒有傷害他人的意思，阿羅漢是不傷害別人的。」


註：請參考故事「領悟佛法的人才是婆羅門 」
