SĀ 1321

Saṃyuktāgama杂阿含经

SA 1321(一三二一) 宾伽罗

Thus have I heard:

如是我闻:

At one time the Buddha was staying at the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rājagṛha.

一时,佛住王舍城迦兰陀竹园。

At that time, Venerable Aniruddha was traveling among the people of Magadha and stayed overnight at the abode of the Piṅgalā ghost mother. In the latter part of the night, Venerable Aniruddha sat upright and recited the Udāna, Pārāyaṇa, the verses spoken by those who had seen the truth, the verses spoken by the senior monks, the verses spoken by the nuns, the Śīla verses, the Dharma verses, the Muni verses, and the Sūtras, all of which he recited extensively.

时,尊者阿那律陀于摩竭提国人间游行,到毕陵伽鬼子母住处宿。时,尊者阿那律陀夜后分时,端身正坐,诵忧陀那、波罗延那、见真谛、诸上座所说偈、比丘尼所说偈、尸路偈、义品、牟尼偈、修多罗,悉皆广诵。

At that time, the Piṅgalā ghost cried out in the night. The Piṅgalā ghost mother spoke a verse to admonish her son, saying:

尔时,毕陵伽鬼子夜啼,毕陵伽鬼子母为其子说偈呵止言:

Piṅgalā ghost, do not cry now. Listen to the
bhikṣu reciting the Dharma verses. If one knows the
Dharma verses, one can protect and uphold the precepts
refrain from killing, speak truthfully without falsehood, and abandon
unwholesome things, one will be liberated from the path of ghosts.

「毕陵伽鬼子,  汝今莫得啼,当听彼比丘,  诵习法句偈。若知法句者,  能自护持戒,远离于杀生,  实言不妄语,能自舍非义,  解脱鬼神道。」

When the Piṅgalā ghost mother spoke this verse, the Piṅgalā ghost's crying immediately stopped.

毕陵伽鬼子母说是偈时,毕陵伽鬼子啼声即止。
