百喻经之九五：二鸽喻
英文：
Once upon a time, there were two doves, male and female, which lived together in a nest. they filled their nest with fruit seed that grew up during the fall. later, the fruit dried and shrank to fill but half of the nest. the male was in a temper and said to the female, "we have been working hard together for the fruit. now you have eaten it alone. it's half of what it was.
The female replied, "i haven't eaten it alone. for the fruit has shrunk by itself."
Incredulous, the male angrily said, "if it has not been you alone who had eaten, how could it grow so much less now?" then he pecked the female to death.
A few days later, it happened to rain heavily. the fruit got moist and grew to its former size. on seeing it, the male regretfully realized that she really had not eaten and that he had wrongly killed her. he then cried bitterly and called out to her: "where have you gone?"
This is also held to be true with the common people. leading a disorderly life, people indulge in wild pleasures. they think nothing of impermanence when breaking major commandments. it will be too late for them to repent afterwards. it only remains for them to give vent to their sadness with sighs like the stupid dove.
古文：
昔有雌雄二鸽共同一巢，秋果熟时，取果满巢。于其后时，果干减少，唯半巢在。雄嗔雌曰：鈥溔」诳啵甓朗持ㄓ邪朐凇ｂ��
雌鸽答言：鈥溛也欢朗常约跎佟ｂ��
雄鸽不信，嗔恚而言：鈥湻侨甓朗常斡杉跎伲库�澕幢阋宰熳拇聘肷薄�
未经几日，天降大雨，果得湿润，还复如故。雄鸽见已，方生悔恨：鈥湵耸挡皇常彝彼ｂ�澕幢酱聘耄衡�溔旰未θィ♀��
凡夫之人，亦复如是。颠倒在怀，妄取欲乐，不观无常，犯于重禁，悔不于后，竟何所及。后唯悲叹，如彼愚鸽。
译文：
曾有雌雄两只鸽子，同住在一个巢里。秋天果子熟时，叨取了满满一巢。后来，果子干缩，只成半巢了。雄鸽训责雌鸽道：鈥溸独垂樱燎诶涂啵愣雷酝党裕皇Ｒ话搿ｂ�澊聘氪鸬溃衡�溛颐煌党裕幼约杭跎傧氯サ摹ｂ�澬鄹氩恍牛溃衡�湶皇悄愣雷猿粤耍趺椿峒跎�?鈥澗妥纳绷舜聘搿Ｃ还溉眨旖荡笥辏邮芰耸螅只指吹皆鹊囊怀病Ｐ鄹爰耍交诤奁鹄矗衡�溗娜访怀裕掖砩绷怂ｂ�澅惚沤谢酱聘耄衡�溎隳亩チ�?鈥�
凡夫之人也是这样，心中存着是非颠倒的观念，迷执地追求五欲的快乐，不系心思，观察事物的流动变迁，犯了杀、盗、淫、妄之类重大禁戒，后来悔恨了，毕竟已无可挽回，只有悲叹不已，如那只愚鸽一般。
