〖陷阱〗

佛陀說，我們的感官對像(外塵)是陷阱——魔王的陷阱。它是一個獵人的圈套，而獵人就是魔王。

如果動物掉進獵人的陷阱里，那種情形是很悲殘的。他們深陷其中動彈不得，無助地等待設陷者的處置。你捕過小鳥嗎？當陷阱一觸發，「碰！」馬上被捕獲！強韌的陷阱很快地抓住了牠。這時，不管鳥兒怎麼飛，也無法逃脫出網。牠慌亂地到處亂飛，但是卻緊緊地被綁著。最後，只有等待設網的人前來。當獵人來時，鳥兒惶恐地就擒，無處可逃！

色、聲、香、味、觸、法的陷阱也是一樣。它們逮到我們。而且緊緊地綁住我們。

Trap

The Buddha taught that the objects of the senses are a trap, a trap of Mara's. It is a hunter's trap and the hunter is Mara. If animals are caught in a hunter's trap, it's a sorrowful predicament. They are caught fast and are held waiting for the owner of the trap. Have you ever snared birds? The snare springs and - boop! - caught by the neck! A good strong string holds it fast. Wherever the bird flies, it cannot escape. It flies here and flies there, but it's held tight, waiting for the owner of the snare to come. When the hunter comes along, that's it! The bird is struck with fear and there is no escape. The trap of sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touch and mind-objects is the same. They catch us and bind us fast.
