中部42經/威樂若經(雙小品[5])(莊春江譯)[SA.1042]
被我這麼聽聞:
有一次,
世尊住在舍衛城祇樹林給孤獨園。當時,威樂若的婆羅門
屋主們,正以某些應該被作的居住在舍衛城。威樂若的婆羅門屋主們聽聞:「
先生!釋迦人之子、從釋迦族出家的
沙門喬達摩住在舍衛城祇樹林給孤獨園,又,對那位喬達摩
尊師,這樣的好名聲已傳播:『像這樣,那位世尊是
阿羅漢、
遍正覺者、
明行具足者、
善逝、
世間知者、
應該被調御人的無上調御者、
天-人們的大師、
佛陀、世尊。』他以證智自作證後,告知這個包括天、魔、梵的世間;包括沙門婆羅門,包括天-人的世代,他教導開頭是善的、中間是善的、結尾是善的;
有意義的、
有文字的法,他說明完全圓滿、
遍純淨的梵行。又,有像那樣阿羅漢的看見,
那就好了!」
那時,威樂若的婆羅門屋主們去見世尊。抵達後,一些向世尊
問訊後,在一旁坐下;一些與世尊一起互相問候。交換應該被互相問候的友好交談後,在一旁坐下;一些向世尊
合掌鞠躬後,在一旁坐下;一些在世尊的面前告知姓名後,在一旁坐下;一些沈默地在一旁坐下。在一旁坐下的威樂若的婆羅門屋主們對世尊說這個:「喬達摩尊師!什麼因、什麼
緣,以那個,這裡一些眾生以身體的崩解,死後往生
苦界、
惡趣、
下界、地獄?又,喬達摩尊師!什麼因、什麼緣,以那個,這裡一些眾生以身體的崩解,死後往生
善趣、天界?」
「屋主們!非法行、非正行之因,這樣,這裡,一些眾生以身體的崩解,死後往生苦界、惡趣、下界、地獄;屋主們!以法行、以正行之因,這樣,這裡,一些眾生以身體的崩解,死後往生善趣、天界。」
「
大德!我們對這個被喬達摩尊師簡要地說的、未詳細地解析的義理,不詳細地了知義理,請喬達摩尊師為我們教導像這樣的法,如是,我們能對這個被喬達摩尊師簡要地說的、未詳細地解析的義理,詳細地了知義理,
那就好了!」「屋主們!那樣的話,你們要聽!你們要
好好作意!我將說。」「是的,先生!」威樂若的婆羅門屋主們回答世尊。世尊說這個:(444)
「屋主們!有三種以身非法行者、非正行者,有四種以語非法行者、非正行者,有三種以意非法行者、非正行者。
屋主們!而怎樣是三種以身非法行者、非正行者?屋主們!這裡,某人是殺生者、兇暴者、血手者、執著殺戮者、在
活的生命類上不來到同情者。又,是
未被給與的拿取者:凡那個……[MN.41]他人的他人財產資具,他是未被給與的拿取者被稱為偷盜。又,是
邪淫者:凡她是被母親守護者……是在像那樣者處性交者。屋主們!這樣是三種以身非法行者、非正行者。
屋主們!而怎樣是四種以語非法行者、非正行者?屋主們!這裡,某人是
妄語者:他到會堂,或……成為故意虛妄地說者。又,是
離間語者:從這裡聽聞後……作不和合言語的言說者。又,是
粗惡語者,凡那個粗暴的、苛刻的……是像這樣言語之說者。又,是
雜穢語者:不適當時機之說者……無節制的、伴隨無利益的。屋主們!這樣是四種以語非法行者、非正行者。
屋主們!而怎樣是三種以意非法行者、非正行者?屋主們!這裡,某人是
貪婪者……都是我的。又,是有瞋害心者、有憎惡之意向者:『願這些眾生被殺害、或……不要存在。』又,是邪見者,有顛倒見:『沒有施與的[果報],沒有祭祀的……以證智自作證後告知……。』屋主們!這樣是三種以意非法行者、非正行者。
屋主們!以這樣非法行、非正行之因,這樣,這裡,一些眾生以身體的崩解,死後往生苦界、惡趣、下界、地獄。(445)
屋主們!有三種以身法行者、正行者,有四種以語法行者、正行者,有三種以意法行者、正行者。
屋主們!而怎樣是三種以身法行者、正行者?屋主們!這裡,某人捨斷殺生後,是離殺生者,住於放下棍棒的、放下刀的、有羞恥的、來到同情的、
對一切活的生命類有憐愍的。捨斷未被給與的拿取後,是離未被給與的拿取者:凡那個……他人的……他不是未被給與的拿取者被稱為偷盜。捨斷邪淫後……不是在像那樣者處性交者。屋主們!這樣是三種以身法行者、正行者。
屋主們!而怎樣是四種以語法行者、正行者?屋主們!這裡,某人捨斷妄語後,是離妄語者:到會堂……(中略)不成為故意虛妄地說者。捨斷離間語後……(中略)作和合言語之說者。捨斷粗惡語後……是像這樣言語之說者。捨斷雜穢語後……在適當時機的、有理由的、有節制的、伴隨利益的。屋主們!這樣是四種以語法行者、正行者。
屋主們!而怎樣是三種以意法行者、正行者?屋主們!這裡,某人是不貪婪者:凡那個他人的他人財產資具,他不是貪求者:『啊!願凡他人的都是我的。』又,是無瞋害心者,無憎惡之意向:『願這些眾生對自己保持無怨的、無惱害的、無苦惱的、有安樂的。』又,是正見者,無顛倒見:『有布施,有供養……以證智自作證後告知……。』屋主們!這樣是三種以意法行者、正行者。
屋主們!這樣,以法行、以正行之因,這樣,這裡,一些眾生以身體的崩解,死後往生善趣、天界。(446)
屋主們!如果法行者、正行者希望:『啊!願我以身體的崩解,死後往生大財富
剎帝利們的共住狀態。』那麼,這存在可能性:凡他以身體的崩解,死後往生大財富的剎帝利們的共住狀態,那是什麼原因?因為像這樣,他是法行者、正行者。
屋主們!如果法行者、正行者希望:『啊!願我以身體的崩解,死後往生大財富婆羅門們的……往生大財富屋主們的共住狀態。』那麼,這存在可能性:凡他以身體的崩解,死後往生大財富的屋主們的共住狀態,那是什麼原因?因為像這樣,他是法行者、正行者。
屋主們!如果法行者、正行者希望:『啊!願我以身體的崩解,死後往生四大王天諸天們的共住狀態。』那麼,這存在可能性:凡他以身體的崩解,死後往生四大王天諸天們的共住狀態,那是什麼原因?因為像這樣,他是法行者、正行者。
屋主們!如果法行者、正行者希望:『啊!願我以身體的崩解,死後往生三十三天諸天的……焰摩天諸天的……兜率天諸天的……
化樂天諸天的……
他化自在天諸天的……往生梵眾天諸天們的共住狀態。』那麼,這存在可能性:凡他以身體的崩解,死後往生梵眾天諸天們的共住狀態,那是什麼原因?因為像這樣,他是法行者、正行者。
屋主們!如果法行者、正行者希望:『啊!願我以身體的崩解,死後往生光明諸天們的共住狀態。』那麼,這存在可能性:凡他以身體的崩解,死後往生光明諸天們的共住狀態,那是什麼原因?因為像這樣,他是法行者、正行者。
屋主們!如果法行者、正行者希望:『啊!願我以身體的崩解,死後往生少光天諸天的……無量光天諸天的……光音天諸天的……少淨天諸天的……無量淨天諸天的……遍淨天諸天的……廣果天諸天的……無煩天諸天的……無熱天諸天的……善見天諸天的……善現天諸天的……
阿迦膩吒天諸天的……虛空無邊處到達者諸天的……識無邊處到達者諸天的……
無所有處到達者諸天的……往生
非想非非想處到達者諸天們的共住狀態。』那麼,這存在可能性:凡他以身體的崩解,死後往生非想非非想處到達者諸天們的共住狀態,那是什麼原因?因為像這樣,他是法行者、正行者。
屋主們!如果法行者、正行者希望:『啊!願我以諸
漏的滅盡,以證智自作證後,在當生中
進入後住於無漏
心解脫、
慧解脫。』那麼,這存在可能性:凡他以諸漏的滅盡,以證智自作證後,在當生中進入後住於無漏心解脫、慧解脫,那是什麼原因?因為像這樣,他是法行者、正行者。」(447)
在這麼說時,威樂若的婆羅門屋主們對世尊說這個:「太偉大了,喬達摩尊師!太偉大了,喬達摩尊師!喬達摩尊師!猶如扶正顛倒的,或揭開隱藏的,或告知迷路者的道路,或在黑暗中持燈火:『有眼者們看見諸色。』同樣的,法被喬達摩尊師以種種法門說明。這些我們
歸依喬達摩尊師、法、
比丘僧團,請喬達摩尊師記得我們為
優婆塞,從今天起
已終生歸依。」(448)
