百喻经之七:认人为兄喻
英文:
Once upon a time, there was a man endowed with a respectable appearance and intelligence as well as wealth. all these evoked feelings of admiration and praise from the people around him. another man then claimed this man to be his elder brother. he did so, because of the man's wealth. when he needed money, he called the man elder brother. after the rich man paying his debt, he stopped calling him elder brother. a bystander asked, "you are a strange man. when you are in need of money, you call him elder brother. when he is in debt, you will not. why?"
The man answered, "when i want to get at his money, i'll call him elder brother. as a matter of fact, he isn't my own elder brother. when he is in debt, i will not call him elder brother."
Hearing these words, people laughed at him.
The heretics, who have heard the good words of buddhism, purloin and make use of them as their own. when people try to teach them how to practice the goods words, they do not want to listen. they declared that they use the good words of buddhism to instruct the other people in order to earn a living. there is no need that they should bother to know how to practice it.
Those heretics are just like the stupid man who calls the rich man elder brother for his money.
古文:
昔有一人,形容端正,智慧具足,复多钱财,举世人间,无不称叹。时有愚人,见其如此,便言:鈥溛倚帧b澦远撸擞星疲胝咴蛴弥枪饰帧<浠拐裕衡湻俏倚帧b澃擞镅裕衡溔晔怯奕耍坪涡氩疲郑患捌湔保囱苑切郑库
愚人答言:鈥溛乙杂帽酥疲现郑捣鞘切帧H羝涓赫虺品切帧b
人闻此语,无不笑之。
犹彼外道,闻佛善语,贪窃而用,以为己有。乃至傍人教使修行,不肯修行,而作是言:
鈥溛剩”朔鹩锘贾谏奘凳拢坪涡扌小b澯滔蛴奕耍貌乒剩允俏倚郑
及其债时,复言非兄。此亦如是。
译文:
从前有个人,容貌端正,举止大方,具有渊博的学识,又很富有,社会上的人们没有不称赞他的。当时有个愚蠢的人,见到他有这样的身份,便称他是 鈥溛业男殖も潯V哉庋且蛭星诩毙璧氖焙颍梢越栌茫懦扑帧:罄纯醇馕恍殖じ鹑嘶拐玻衡溦馊瞬皇俏腋绺纭b澲芪У娜颂怂担衡溎闶歉鲇奕耍卧谛枰氖焙颍统扑殖ぃ剿赫保炙挡皇切殖ち四兀库澯奕嘶卮穑衡溛乙郧跋氲玫剿那疲湃纤殖ぃ导噬纤⒉皇俏腋绺纾绻妨苏揖筒恍枰俪破湮至恕b澣嗣翘苏夥埃挥胁怀苄λ摹
这好比那些没有人生理想的人,听到了佛家有益的道理,就为己所用。等到别人劝他身体力行,修善布施的时候,就推托说:鈥溨皇俏死婧托枰沤栌梅鸺业牡览恚锤娼肷缁岽笾冢⑽扌娜ナ导衷跄苋バ奚撇际┠兀库澱饩拖衲怯薮赖娜耍说玫浇鹎退当鹑耸俏倚殖ぃ热饲氛保炙邓皇俏业母绺纾秸叩牡览硎且谎摹
