增支部4集46经到48经

46 第二罗希达经

那时,世尊在那夜过后召集比丘们说:"比丘们,昨夜罗希达天子在深夜时分,以殊胜的容色照亮整个祇树园,来到我这里。来到后,向我礼敬,然后站在一旁。站在一旁的罗希达天子对我说:'尊者,在那里不生、不老、不死、不灭、不再生,尊者,是否可能通过行走到达、看到或抵达世界的尽头?'当他这样说时,比丘们,我对罗希达天子这样说:'朋友,在那里不生、不老、不死、不灭、不再生,我说不可能通过行走到达、看到或抵达世界的尽头。'当我这样说时,比丘们,罗希达天子对我说:'真是奇妙啊,尊者!真是稀有啊,尊者!世尊说得多么好啊 - 朋友,在那里不生、不老、不死、不灭、不再生,我说不可能通过行走到达、看到或抵达世界的尽头。'"

"尊者,我过去曾是一位名叫罗希达的仙人,是波阇波提的儿子,具有神通,能在空中飞行。尊者,我有如此快的速度,就像一个训练有素、熟练的弓箭手,能轻易地用轻箭射穿一棵棕榈树的影子。尊者,我的步伐如此之大,就像从东海到西海。尊者,具有如此的速度和步伐,我产生了这样的愿望 - '我要通过行走到达世界的尽头。'尊者,除了吃喝咀嚼品尝、大小便、睡眠和消除疲劳之外,我活了一百岁,走了一百年,却没有到达世界的尽头就中途死去了。"

"真是奇妙啊,尊者!真是稀有啊,尊者!世尊说得多么好啊 - '朋友,在那里不生、不老、不死、不灭、不再生,我说不可能通过行走到达、看到或抵达世界的尽头。'"当他这样说时,比丘们,我对罗希达天子这样说:

"'朋友,在那里不生、不老、不死、不灭、不再生,我说不可能通过行走到达、看到或抵达世界的尽头。'朋友,我并不是说不到达世界的尽头就能结束苦。但是,朋友,我说在这一寻长的有想有心的身体中,我宣说世界、世界的生起、世界的灭尽,以及导向世界灭尽的道路。"

"通过行走永远无法到达世界的尽头;

不到达世界的尽头,就无法解脱苦。

因此,智者了知世界,

到达世界的尽头,圆满梵行,

知道世界的尽头,平静安详,

不再希求此世或他世。"

第六经完。

47 极远经

"比丘们,有四种极远之远。哪四种?比丘们,天空和大地,这是第一种极远之远。比丘们,大海的此岸和彼岸,这是第二种极远之远。比丘们,太阳升起的地方和落下的地方,这是第三种极远之远。比丘们,善人的法和恶人的法,这是第四种极远之远。比丘们,这就是四种极远之远。"

"天空和大地遥远,大海的彼岸也遥远,

太阳升起和落下的地方遥远,

但善人的法和恶人的法更远。

善人的集会永不衰败,只要存在就是如此,

恶人的集会很快就会消散,

因此善人的法与恶人相距甚远。"

第七经完。

48 毗舍佉经

有一次,世尊住在舍卫城祇树给孤独园。那时,尊者毗舍佉·般阇罗子在集会堂中以法语教导、鼓励、激励、欢喜比丘们,用优美、清晰、流畅、意义明确、独立的语言。傍晚时分,世尊从独处中起来,去到集会堂。到达后,坐在准备好的座位上。坐下后,世尊对比丘们说:

"比丘们,是谁在集会堂中以法语教导、鼓励、激励、欢喜比丘们,用优美、清晰、流畅、意义明确、独立的语言?""尊者,是尊者毗舍佉·般阇罗子在集会堂中以法语教导、鼓励、激励、欢喜比丘们,用优美、清晰、流畅、意义明确、独立的语言。"

然后,世尊对尊者毗舍佉·般阇罗子说:"很好,很好,毗舍佉!毗舍佉,你做得很好,以法语教导、鼓励、激励、欢喜比丘们,用优美、清晰、流畅、意义明确、独立的语言。"

"不说话时,无法分辨智者与愚者;

说话时,才能知道他在宣说不死之法。

应当宣说、阐明法,高举圣者的旗帜;

善说是圣者的旗帜,法是圣者的旗帜。"

第八经完。
