Visuddhimagga IX-24

Evaṃ attano kammassakataṃ paccavekkhitvā parassapi evaṃ paccavekkhitabbā ‘‘esopi tava kujjhitvā kiṃ karissati?

这样观察了自己的自作业。也这样的观察他人的自作业:「为什么他要对你忿怒?

Ñ(IX,24): Having reviewed ownership of deeds in himself in this way, he should review it in the other also: 'And what is the point of his getting angry with you?



Nanu etassevetaṃ anatthāya saṃvattissati?

此(瞋恚之业)岂非使他至于不利吗?

Ñ: Will it not lead to his own harm?



Kammassako hi ayamāyasmā kammadāyādo…pe… yaṃ kammaṃ karissati, tassa dāyādo bhavissati. Idañcassa kammaṃ neva sammāsambodhiṃ, na paccekabodhiṃ, na sāvakabhūmiṃ, na brahmattasakkattacakkavattipadesarājādisampattīnaṃ aññataraṃ sampattiṃ sādhetuṃ samatthaṃ, atha kho sāsanato cāvetvā vighāsādādibhāvassa ceva nerayikādidukkhavisesānañcassa saṃvattanikamidaṃ kammaṃ. Svāyaṃ idaṃ karonto paṭivāte ṭhatvā paraṃ rajena okiritukāmo puriso viya attānaṃyeva okirati.

盖此尊者为自作业,受作业分••••••,他将作业而受那业的嗣,而且现在由于他的业,既不得等正觉,亦不得辟支菩提、声闻地、梵天、帝释、转轮王、王侯等的任何地位,但此业将把他从佛教开除出去,成为受残食的(畜生)等,并将生到地狱等的大苦处。他的所作,正如站在逆风之处欲向他人扬尘相似,只有自己受尘」。

Ñ: For that venerable one is owner of his deeds, heir of his deeds … he will become the heir of whatever deeds he does. And this is not the kind of deed to bring him to full enlightenment, to undeclared enlightenment or to the disciple's grade, or to any such position as the status of Brahmā or Sakka, or to the throne of a Wheel-turning Monarch or a regional king, etc.; but rather this is the kind of deed to lead to his fall from the Dispensation, even to the status of the eaters of scraps, etc., and to the manifold suffering in the hells, and so on. By doing this he is like a man who wants to throw dust at another against the wind and only covers himself with it'.



Vuttañhetaṃ bhagavatā –

即如世尊说:

Ñ: For this is said by the Blessed One:



‘‘‘Yo appaduṭṭhassa narassa dussati,

Suddhassa posassa anaṅgaṇassa;

Tameva bālaṃ pacceti pāpaṃ,

Sukhumo rajo paṭivātaṃva khitto’’’ti. (dha. pa. 125; su. ni. 667);

若犯无邪者,清净无染者,

[PTS 302] 罪恶向愚人,如逆风扬尘。

Ñ: 'When a fool hates a man that has no hate,

Is purified and free from every blemish, [302]

Such evil he will find comes back on him,

As does fine dust thrown up against the wind' (Dh. 125).
