百喻经之八三：猕猴喻
英文：
Once upon a time, a female monkey was beaten by a full-grown person. the animal had no other alternative than gave vent to its anger later on a small boy.
This is also held to be true with the common stupid men. one who is offended by another person takes out his anger sometimes on a third person. human affairs are always in a state of transition without discontinuity. for things born in the past are bygone. what come after are different things. thus the one wrongfully gets into a temper only gets deeper and deeper into hatred. this is just like the monkey that has been beaten by a grown person vents its anger on a small boy.
古文：
昔有一猕猴为大人所打，不能奈何，反怨小儿。
凡夫之人，亦复如是。先所嗔人，代谢不停，灭在过去。乃于相续后生之法，谓是前者，妄生嗔忿，毒恚弥深。如彼痴猴为大人所打，反嗔小儿。
译文：
曾有一头猕猴，被大人打了，没有办法，反而把怨气出在小儿身上。
凡夫愚人也是这样，先前所瞋怨的人，岁月更迭不停之中，已在过去死了。对于相续后生者，以为是前人的延伸，就凭空生出瞋怒之念来，恶毒的愤恚之气转而愈加深浓了，就像那只痴猴，被大人打了，反而泄怒在小儿身上。
