二、追隨佛陀,在訓練別人之前我們必須先訓練好自己
purisadamma-sarathi sattha deva-manussanam buddho bhagavati
『可化丈夫調御士,天人師,佛,世尊。』
Our Lord Buddha first trained and tamed himself to the point where he attained unexcelled right self-awakening (anuttara-sammasambodhiñana), becoming buddho, one who knows, before becoming bhagava, one who spreads the teaching to those who are to be taught. Only then did he become sattha, the teacher and trainer of human and divine beings whose stage of development qualifies them to be trained. And thus, kalyano kittisaddo abbhuggato: His good name has spread to the four quarters of the compass even up to the present day.
我們的佛陀在成為世尊-向可化(可調教的)眾生說法者,之前,先行調御(調伏訓練)自己達到無上正等正覺,成為佛陀—覺者。惟有如此,他才能成為尊師,人類和天眾中開發程度值得予以教導者的老師和訓練者。因此,他的聲譽流傳四方,直到今天。
The same is true of all the Noble Disciples of the past. They trained and tamed themselves well before helping the Teacher spread his teachings to people at large, and so their good name has spread just like the Buddha’s.
所有過去的聖弟子們也是一樣,在幫助老師傳播他的教導給予大眾之前,他們都善予訓練和調伏了自己,所以他們的聲譽就像佛陀那樣的流傳著。
If, however, a person spreads the teaching without first having trained himself well, papako saddo hoti: His bad name will spread to the four quarters of the compass, due to his error in not having followed the example of the Lord Buddha and all the Noble Disciples of the past.
然而,如果一個人沒有先行訓練好自己,就宣揚教法,他的惡名將會流傳四方,由于他犯了沒有遵守佛陀和過去所有聖弟子們的典范的錯誤,他的惡名將會流傳四方。
