MN 105 · 善星经
55如是我闻：有一次，世尊住在毗舍离城的大林重阁讲堂里。那个时候，有许多比丘在世尊面前宣称了证悟之智：“我们了知：‘生已尽，梵行已立，应作已作，不受后有。’”离车族族人善星听说：“据说有许多比丘在世尊面前宣称了证悟之智——‘我们了知：生已尽，梵行已立，应作已作，不受后有。’”于是，离车族族人善星去世尊那里。到了之后，向世尊礼敬，坐在一边。坐在一边的离车族族人善星对世尊这样说：“尊者，我听说——‘据说有许多比丘在世尊面前宣称了证悟之智：他们了知：生已尽，梵行已立，应作已作，不受后有。’尊者，那些在世尊面前宣称了证悟之智的诸比丘——‘我们了知：生已尽，梵行已立，应作已作，不受后有’——尊者，这些比丘是正确地宣称了证悟之智呢，还是其中有些比丘是出于增上慢而宣称了证悟之智呢？”

56“善星，那些在我面前宣称了证悟之智的诸比丘——‘我们了知：生已尽，梵行已立，应作已作，不受后有’——他们当中，有些比丘确实是正确地宣称了证悟之智，但也有些比丘是出于增上慢而宣称了证悟之智。在那里，善星，那些正确地宣称了证悟之智的诸比丘，对他们来说，事情正是如此；至于那些出于增上慢而宣称了证悟之智的诸比丘，善星，如来心里会这样想：‘我要为他们说法。’而在这里，善星，如来固然会这样想：‘我要为他们说法。’可是，这里有一些愚蠢的人，事先把问题编排好，一次次地编排好，然后来见如来，提出问题。在那情况下，善星，虽然如来心里会这样想：‘我要为他们说法’，但事情也还是会有变化。” “世尊，现在是时候了，善逝，现在是时候了，请世尊说法。诸比丘听了世尊的开示，会铭记在心的。”“那么，善星，你听着，好好用心思惟，我要说了。”“是的，尊者。”离车族族人善星回应世尊。世尊这样说道：
‘‘Ye te, sunakkhatta, bhikkhū mama santike aññaṃ byākaṃsu – ‘khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā’ti pajānāmā’’ti . ‘‘Santetthekacce bhikkhū sammadeva aññaṃ byākaṃsu, santi panidhekacce bhikkhū adhimānenapi aññaṃ byākaṃsu.

57“善星，有这五种欲的功德。哪五种呢？眼所能识知的、合意的、可爱的、悦心的、惹人喜爱的、与欲乐相关的、能引发贪染的色；耳所能识知的、合意的、可爱的、悦心的、惹人喜爱的、与欲乐相关的、能引发贪染的声……鼻所能识知的香……舌所能识知的味……身所能识知的、合意的、可爱的、悦心的、惹人喜爱的、与欲乐相关的、能引发贪染的触——善星，这就是五种欲的功德。”

62“善星，这确实是一种可能的情况：有某一种人，内心倾向世间的利养。善星，对于一个内心倾向世间利养的人来说，那种与之相应的谈话就会确立起来，他就会顺着那种道理去思考、去琢磨，就会亲近那种人，并从中得到满足。然而，当别人在谈论与不动相关的法义时，他不愿听，不竖起耳朵，不把心转向了知，他不会亲近那种人，也不会从中得到满足。善星，这就好比一个人，离开自己的村庄或城镇很久了。他看见另一个刚从那个村庄或城镇出来不久的人，便向那个人打听那个村庄或城镇是否太平、粮食是否充足、疾病是否不多。那个人就告诉了他那个村庄或城镇是否太平、粮食是否充足、疾病是否不多。善星，你认为怎么样？那个离开很久的人，会愿意听那个人的话吗？会竖起耳朵，把心转向了知，会亲近那个人，并从中得到满足吗？”“是的，尊者。”“正是如此，善星，这确实是一种可能的情况：有某一种人，内心倾向世间的利养。对于一个内心倾向世间利养的人来说，那种与之相应的谈话就会确立起来，他就会顺着那种道理去思考、去琢磨，就会亲近那种人，并从中得到满足。然而，当别人在谈论与不动相关的法义时，他不愿听，不竖起耳朵，不把心转向了知，他不会亲近那种人，也不会从中得到满足。对于这样的人，应该这样理解：‘这是一个内心倾向世间利养的人，他已经脱离了不动的系缚。’”

63“善星，这确实是一种可能的情况：有某一种人，内心倾向不动。善星，对于一个内心倾向不动的人来说，那种与之相应的谈话就会确立起来，他就会顺着那种道理去思考、去琢磨，就会亲近那种人，并从中得到满足。然而，当别人在谈论与世间利养相关的谈话时，他不愿听，不竖起耳朵，不把心转向了知，他不会亲近那种人，也不会从中得到满足。善星，这就好比一片枯黄的叶子从叶柄上脱落，不可能再变绿；正是如此，善星，对于一个内心倾向不动的人来说，那些对世间利养的系缚，已经被他切断了。对于这样的人，应该这样理解：‘这是一个内心倾向不动的人，他已经脱离了世间利养的系缚。’”

64“善星，这确实是一种可能的情况：有某一种人，内心倾向无所有处。善星，对于一个内心倾向无所有处的人来说，那种与之相应的谈话就会确立起来，他就会顺着那种道理去思考、去琢磨，就会亲近那种人，并从中得到满足。然而，当别人在谈论与不动相关的法义时，他不愿听，不竖起耳朵，不把心转向了知，他不会亲近那种人，也不会从中得到满足。善星，这就好比一块大石头裂成两半，再也无法合拢；正是如此，善星，对于一个内心倾向无所有处的人来说，那些对不动的系缚，已经被他打破了。对于这样的人，应该这样理解：‘这是一个内心倾向无所有处的人，他已经脱离了不动的系缚。’”

58善星，这确实是可能的情况：这里有某个人倾心于非想非非想处。善星，对于一个倾心于非想非非想处的人来说，与该境界相称的谈话确实会发生，他会随顺该法去寻思、去伺察，会亲近那种人，并从中获得满足。但是，当与无所有处相关的谈话正在进行时，他不愿听，不倾耳，不现起了知之心，也不亲近那种人，也不从中获得满足。善星，这就像一个人吃了极美味的食物后又把它吐了出来。善星，你认为如何，那个人对那食物还会有想再吃的欲望吗？”“尊者，不会的。”“那是什么原因呢？”“尊者，因为那食物已被视为令人厌恶的了。”“正是如此，善星，对于倾心于非想非非想处的人来说，那些关于无所有处的结缚，就如同被他吐掉的东西一样。他应当被这样理解：‘这个倾心于非想非非想处的人，确实已脱离了无所有处的结缚。’

59善星，这确实是可能的情况：这里有某个人正确地倾心于涅槃。善星，对于一个正确地倾心于涅槃的人来说，与该境界相称的谈话确实会发生，他会随顺着那个道理去寻思、去伺察，会亲近那种人，并从中获得满足。但是，当与非想非非想处相关的谈话正在进行时，他不愿听，不倾耳，不现起了知之心，也不亲近那种人，也不从中获得满足。善星，这就像一颗棕榈树的树顶被砍断后，不可能再生长一样；正是如此，善星，对于正确地倾心于涅槃的人来说，那些关于非想非非想处的结缚，其根已被切断，如同被砍断的棕榈树一样，不复存在，未来不会再生起。他应当被这样理解：‘这个正确地倾心于涅槃的人，确实已脱离了非想非非想处的结缚。’

60善星，然而这确实是可能的情况：这里有某位比丘竟会这样想——‘沙门说，渴爱是箭；无明之毒害，为欲贪与瞋恚所侵害。对我来说，那支渴爱之箭已被断除，无明之毒害已被除去，我是正确地志向涅槃的。’当事实并非如此时，他却持这样的自慢。他可能去从事那些对正确地志向涅槃者不适当的事；他会去从事以眼看不适当的色，以耳听不适当的声，以鼻嗅不适当的香，以舌尝不适当的味，以身触不适当的触，以意知不适当的法。当他从事以眼看不适当的色、以耳听不适当的声、以鼻嗅不适当的香、以舌尝不适当的味、以身触不适当的触、以意知不适当的法时，贪欲便会侵袭他的心。以被贪欲侵袭的心，他可能会遭遇死亡，或近乎死亡的痛苦。

So rāgānuddhaṃsitena cittena maraṇaṃ vā nigaccheyya maraṇamattaṃ vā dukkhaṃ.
13善星，好比有一个人被一支浸过毒药的、涂满厚厚毒液的箭射中了。他的朋友、伴侣、亲戚、血亲会为他找来一位处理箭伤的外科医生。那位外科医生会用刀切开他的伤口，用刀切开伤口之后，会用探针探查那支箭，用探针探查箭之后，会把箭拔出来，并清除掉毒液，但仍留有残余。那位医生知道还有残余，便会这样对他说：‘喂，朋友，你的箭已经被拔出来了，毒液也已经被清除了，但还有残余。这已经不会对你造成致命危险了。你应当吃适宜的食物，不要吃不适宜的食物以免伤口流脓。你应当适时地清洗伤口，适时地在伤口敷药，不要不适时地清洗伤口、不适时地敷药，以免脓血覆盖住伤口。不要去从事在风中和烈日下行走的事情，不要让你在从事在风中和烈日下行走时，灰尘和污垢侵袭到伤口。喂，朋友，你应当安住于保护伤口、治愈伤口。’那个人可能会这样想：‘我的箭已经被拔出来了，毒液也已经被清除得一点不剩了。这已经不会对我造成任何危险了。’于是他吃不适宜的食物，当他吃不适宜的食物时，伤口就流脓了。他没有适时地清洗伤口，也没有适时地在伤口敷药。当他没有适时地清洗伤口、没有适时地敷药时，脓血就覆盖住了伤口。他又去从事在风中和烈日下行走的事情，当他从事在风中和烈日下行走时，灰尘和污垢就侵袭了伤口。他既不安住于保护伤口，也不安住于治愈伤口。由于他做了这些不适宜的事情，再加上那已被清除但仍留有残余的不净毒液，由于这两方面的原因，伤口就变得严重了。因为伤口变得严重，他可能会遭遇到死亡，或等同于死亡的痛苦。

14正是如此，善星，这确实是可能的情况：这里有某位比丘会这样想：‘沙门说过，渴爱是箭，无明是毒液，它通过欲贪和瞋害来恼害人。对我来说，那支渴爱之箭已被舍断，无明之毒液已被除去，我是正确地倾心于涅槃的。’当事实并非如此时，他却持有这种自傲。他可能会去从事那些对正确地倾心于涅槃者来说不适宜的事情；他会去从事以眼看不适宜的色，以耳听不适宜的声音，以鼻嗅不适宜的香，以舌尝不适宜的味，以身触不适宜的触，以意知不适宜的法。当他从事以眼看不适宜的色、以耳听不适宜的声音、以鼻嗅不适宜的香、以舌尝不适宜的味、以身触不适宜的触、以意知不适宜的法时，贪欲就会侵袭他的心。以被贪欲侵袭的心，他可能会遭遇到死亡，或等同于死亡的痛苦。善星，在圣者的律中，‘死亡’就是指舍弃学而还归低劣；善星，‘等同于死亡的痛苦’就是指犯下某种染污的罪过。

61善星，这确实是可能的情况：这里有某位比丘，当他确实是正确地倾心于涅槃时，他就不会去从事那些对正确地倾心于涅槃者来说不适宜的事情；他不会去从事以眼看不适宜的色，以耳听不适宜的声音，以鼻嗅不适宜的香，以舌尝不适宜的味，以身触不适宜的触，以意知不适宜的法。当他没有从事以眼看不适宜的色，没有从事以耳听不适宜的声音，没有从事以鼻嗅不适宜的香，没有从事以舌尝不适宜的味，没有从事以身触不适宜的触，没有从事以意知不适宜的法时，贪欲就不会侵袭他的心。因为没有以被贪欲侵袭的心，他就既不会遭遇到死亡，也不会遭遇到等同于死亡的痛苦。

10善星，打个比方，有个人被一支有毒的箭射中，箭上涂满了强效的毒药。他的朋友、伙伴、亲戚、血亲赶紧为他请来一位精通箭伤的外科医生。那位外科医生就用刀子切开伤口周围，用刀子切开伤口周围之后，再用探针探寻那支箭。用探针找到箭之后，就把箭拔出来，清除掉毒液的残留，一点不剩。他明明知道已经没有残留了，就这样说：‘喂，朋友，你的箭已经拔出来了，毒液残留也清除干净了，再也不会对你有性命之忧了。但是你要吃合适的食物，不要吃那些不合适的食物，否则伤口会化脓。你要按时清洗伤口，按时给伤口敷药。如果你不按时清洗伤口、不按时敷药，脓血就会把伤口糊住。还有，不要总在风里太阳底下走来走去，如果你总在风里太阳底下走来走去，灰尘沙粒就会感染你的伤口。朋友，你要好好保护伤口，让伤口好好愈合啊。’那个人心里想：‘我的箭已经拔出来了，毒液残留也清除干净了，再也不会对性命有碍了。’于是他就吃合适的食物，因为他吃合适的食物，伤口就不会化脓。他按时清洗伤口，按时给伤口敷药。因为他按时清洗、按时敷药，脓血就不会把伤口糊住。他也不在风里太阳底下走来走去。因为他不在风里太阳底下乱走，灰尘沙粒就不会感染伤口。他这样守护着伤口，让伤口愈合。靠着这些合适的调护，再加上之前毒液残留已经除尽没有剩余，这两方面的缘故，他的伤口就慢慢愈合了。伤口愈合了，皮肤长好了，他就不会因此而遭受死亡，也不会遭受等同死亡的痛苦。
‘‘Seyyathāpi, sunakkhatta, puriso sallena viddho assa savisena gāḷhūpalepanena. Tassa mittāmaccā ñātisālohitā bhisakkaṃ sallakattaṃ upaṭṭhāpeyyuṃ.

Anupādisesoti jānamāno so evaṃ vadeyya – ‘ambho purisa, ubbhataṃ kho te sallaṃ, apanīto visadoso anupādiseso. Analañca te antarāyāya.

Tassa evamassa – ‘ubbhataṃ kho me sallaṃ, apanīto visadoso anupādiseso. Analañca me antarāyāyā’ti. So sappāyāni ceva bhojanāni bhuñjeyya. Tassa sappāyāni bhojanāni bhuñjato vaṇo na assāvī assa.

11善星，同样地，有一种情况是可能存在的：某个比丘心里也许会想：‘沙门说过，渴爱就是那支箭，无明之毒借着贪欲、嗔恚而让人受伤。现在，我那支渴爱之箭已经舍断了，无明之毒也清除了，我正确地倾向了涅槃。’由于他确实正确地倾向涅槃，他就不会去从事那些对于一个正确地倾向涅槃的人来说不合适的事情：他不会用眼睛看不合适的色，不会用耳朵听不合适的声音，不会用鼻子闻不合适的气味，不会用舌头尝不合适的味道，不会用身体碰不合适的触觉，不会用心识知不合适的法。当他不从事以眼看不合适的色、不以耳听不合适的声音、不以鼻闻不合适的气味、不以舌尝不合适的味道、不以身触不合适的触觉、不以意识知不合适的法时，贪欲就不会搅动他的心。由于他的心不被贪欲搅动，他既不会遭受死亡，也不会遭受等同死亡的痛苦。

65善星，我做的这个比喻，是为了让人们明白这个道理。这里面的意思就是：善星，所谓‘伤口’，是对六种内处（眼耳鼻舌身意）的称呼；所谓‘毒液残留’，是对无明的称呼；所谓‘箭’，是对渴爱的称呼；所谓‘探针’，是对正念的称呼；所谓‘刀子’，是对圣慧的称呼；所谓‘精通箭伤的外科医生’，是对如来、阿拉汉、正自觉者的称呼。

16善星，那位已在六触处防护自己的比丘，了知‘依著是苦的根源’，从而不再依著，在依著的灭尽中得解脱，他绝不可能再去把身体或心投向依著。这绝对不可能！善星，就像有一个装着饮料的杯子，颜色好看，气味芳香，味道可口，但里面掺了毒药。这时来了一个人，他想活着，不想死，想快乐，厌恶痛苦。善星，你觉得，那个人明明知道‘我要是喝了这个就会死，或者遭受等同死亡的痛苦’，他还会喝这杯饮料吗？”“不会的，尊者。”“同样地，善星，那位已在六触处防护自己的比丘，了知‘依是苦的根源’，从而不再依著，在依著的灭尽中得解脱，他绝不可能再去把身体或心投向依著。这绝对不可能！善星，又好比一条剧毒的毒蛇。这时来了一个人，他想活着，不想死，想快乐，厌恶痛苦。善星，你觉得，那个人明明知道‘我要是被它咬了就会死，或者遭受等同死亡的痛苦’，他还会把自己的手或手指伸给那条剧毒的毒蛇吗？”“不会的，尊者。”“同样地，善星，那位已在六触处防护自己的比丘，了知‘依是苦的根源’，从而不再依著，在依著的灭尽中得解脱，他绝不可能再去把身体或心投向依著。这绝对不可能！
