194 迦罗那波利经

一时，世尊住在毗舍离大林重阁讲堂。当时，迦罗那波利婆罗门正在为离车族人监督工事。迦罗那波利婆罗门远远看见宾祇耶尼婆罗门走来；看见后，对宾祇耶尼婆罗门说了这话——

"喂，尊者宾祇耶尼大白天从哪里来呀？"

"尊者啊，我从沙门乔达摩那里来。"

"尊者宾祇耶尼认为沙门乔达摩的智慧辩才如何？我想他应该是个有智慧的人吧？"

"尊者啊，我是谁，怎能了知沙门乔达摩的智慧辩才呢？唯有与他同等的人，才能了知沙门乔达摩的智慧辩才吧！"

"尊者宾祇耶尼确实是以极高的赞叹来赞叹沙门乔达摩啊！"

"尊者啊，我是谁，怎能赞叹沙门乔达摩呢？那位尊者乔达摩是被已受赞叹者所赞叹的，是天与人中的最胜者。"

"那么，尊者宾祇耶尼见到什么理由，而对沙门乔达摩如此深信呢？"

"尊者啊，譬如一个人已经饱尝了最上妙味，就不会渴望其他低劣的味道了。同样地，尊者啊，无论从何处听闻那位尊者乔达摩的法——无论是从经、应颂、记说、还是未曾有法——从那处起，他就不再渴望其他各种沙门婆罗门的说法了。

"尊者啊，譬如一个人被饥饿与虚弱所困扰，得到了一团蜜丸。他无论从哪里品尝，都能得到甘美之味，纯然美妙。同样地，尊者啊，无论从何处听闻那位尊者乔达摩的法——无论是从经、应颂、记说、还是未曾有法——从那处起，就能得到内心的喜悦，得到心中的净信。

"尊者啊，譬如一个人得到了一段旃檀木——无论是黄旃檀还是红旃檀。他无论从哪里嗅闻——无论从根部、中部还是顶端——都能闻到芬芳之香，纯然美妙。同样地，尊者啊，无论从何处听闻那位尊者乔达摩的法——无论是从经、应颂、记说、还是未曾有法——从那处起，就能获得欢喜，获得喜悦。

"尊者啊，譬如一个人生病、痛苦、重病缠身。一位善巧的医师能够从根本上去除他的疾病。同样地，尊者啊，无论从何处听闻那位尊者乔达摩的法——无论是从经、应颂、记说、还是未曾有法——从那处起，忧愁、悲叹、痛苦、忧恼、绝望就都消灭了。

"尊者啊，譬如有一个莲花池，水清澈、水甘美、水清凉、水洁白、岸阶善巧、令人愉悦。然后有一个人来了，被热气所逼、被暑热所苦、疲倦、渴求、口干。他进入那莲花池，沐浴、饮水之后，一切的疲惫、劳累、热恼都消除了。同样地，尊者啊，无论从何处听闻那位尊者乔达摩的法——无论是从经、应颂、记说、还是未曾有法——从那处起，一切疲惫、劳累、热恼都消除了。"

如此说后，迦罗那波利婆罗门从座位起立，将上衣偏袒一肩，右膝着地，向世尊所在的方向合掌敬礼，三次发出感叹之语——

"礼敬那位世尊、阿罗汉、正等正觉者！

礼敬那位世尊、阿罗汉、正等正觉者！

礼敬那位世尊、阿罗汉、正等正觉者！"

"太殊胜了，尊者宾祇耶尼！太殊胜了，尊者宾祇耶尼！

尊者宾祇耶尼啊，犹如将倒覆的扶正，将覆盖的揭开，为迷路者指示道路，在黑暗中持举油灯——'有眼者将能看见诸色'——同样地，尊者宾祇耶尼以种种方式阐明了法。我，尊者宾祇耶尼，归依那位尊者乔达摩、归依法、归依比丘僧团。愿尊者宾祇耶尼记住我为优婆塞，从今日起终身归依。"

195 宾祇耶尼经

一时，世尊住在毗舍离大林重阁讲堂。当时，大约有五百名离车族人来侍奉世尊。有些离车族人身着蓝色，蓝色肤色、蓝色衣服、蓝色装饰；有些离车族人身着黄色，黄色肤色、黄色衣服、黄色装饰；有些离车族人身着红色，红色肤色、红色衣服、红色装饰；有些离车族人身着白色，白色肤色、白色衣服、白色装饰。而世尊以其容色与威德光耀，远超过他们所有人。

那时，宾祇耶尼婆罗门从座位起立，将上衣偏袒一肩，向世尊合掌敬礼，对世尊说了这话——"世尊，（文思）向我浮现了！善逝，（文思）向我浮现了！"世尊说："宾祇耶尼，那就说吧。"于是宾祇耶尼婆罗门当着世尊的面，以相应的偈颂赞叹道——

"犹如莲花红莲芬芳，

清晨盛开香气未散。

看那光辉的安吉罗萨（佛陀），

如太阳照耀于虚空之中。"

那时，那些离车族人以五百件上衣覆盖（供养）宾祇耶尼婆罗门。然后宾祇耶尼婆罗门又以那五百件上衣覆盖（供养）世尊。

那时，世尊对那些离车族人说了这话："离车族人啊，五种珍宝的出现在世间是难得的。哪五种呢？如来、阿罗汉、正等正觉者的出现在世间是难得的。能宣说如来所宣示的法与律的人在世间是难得的。能领悟如来所宣示的法与律被宣说之后的人在世间是难得的。能领悟如来所宣示的法与律被宣说之后、并且法随法行的人在世间是难得的。知恩报恩的人在世间是难得的。离车族人啊，这五种珍宝的出现在世间是难得的。"
