27 Dress Whip Wounds Once

27治鞭瘡喻

upon a time, there was a man who was punished by the king by whipping and was wounded from it. He applied on the wounds horse excrement for quick recovery. A stupid man nearby was pleased to see it. He said to himself,
"I have just discovered the method to cure a wound faster."

As soon as he got home, he told his son, "You are going to whip me until I'm wounded. I have got a good method to cure wounds. I should like to try it."

Then, he was flogged by his son who dressed his wounds with horse excrement, believing it was a good method.

So are the people at large who hear that the practice of meditation on impurities could remove the evil corruption of the body. They say to themselves in these words, "We are going to meditate on venery and the five desires."

They did not see the impurities of the body, but rather got deceitful and wrong ideas from the pursuit of sexual pleasure. Furthermore, they suffer from Transmigration and descend into Hell.

This is held to be true with the stupid at large dressing their wounds with horse excrement.

譯文

從前有個人被國王鞭打了，之後，便用馬屎敷在傷口上，想讓它快快彌合。有位愚人見了，心中大為歡喜，說道：「我一轉眼就學到了這個治瘡方法。」即刻歸家去，對兒子說：「你鞭打我的背脊，我得了一個妙法，現今想試一下。」兒子就為他鞭打脊背，而後用馬屎敷在傷口上，覺得很是巧妙有效。

世人也是這樣，聽有人說修不淨觀即可除去五陰身瘡，便說：「我想觀女色和五欲。」沒有看到不淨，反而受了女色的惑亂，流轉于生死輪迴之中，墮于地獄。世間的愚人，也如那特意打背而治瘡的人那樣。

原典

昔有一人，為王所鞭。既被鞭已，以馬屎傳之，欲令速差。有愚人見之，心生歡喜，便作是言：「我快得是治瘡方法。」即便歸家，語其兒言：「汝鞭我背，我得好法，今欲試之。」兒為鞭背，以馬屎傅之，以為善巧。

世人亦爾，聞有人言，修不淨觀①即得除去五陰身瘡②，便作是言：「我欲觀于女色及以五欲③。」未見不淨，反為女色之所惑亂，流轉生死，墮于地獄。世間愚人，亦復如是。

注釋

①不淨觀：為了治貪心而觀身體的不淨，一是觀自身的不淨，二是觀他身的不淨，人的一切，無一淨相。

②五陰身瘡：色、受、想、行、識這五陰的色身，有著眼、耳、鼻、舌、口、大小便道之類洩漏不淨的瘡門，故名五陰身瘡。

③五欲：指財欲、色欲、飲食欲、名欲、睡眠欲。
