是見受不?
有讀者說:如果尊者舍利弗聽聞「因緣所生,因緣所滅」就能證悟,
那很多印度當時的學問,在他腦袋已經是千錘百煉的結果,
哈哈😄,正是如是。
記得,看下面記載的這一段「對辯」時感觸很大,
這是一種旗鼓相當的有實力者在做辯論,
不禁想,我何時能有這種功力呢?
好久的回憶,有大德回應就會想起來。

「以下AI資料:
長爪梵志
出家求學: 因論辯輸給懷孕的姐姐,深感羞愧,故而離家前往南天竺習學,誓言學盡十八種經書,因不剪指甲而人稱「長爪梵志」。
不承一切: 他持「一切法不受」的見解,與佛陀論辯。
被佛折服: 佛陀問其「汝言一切法不受,是見受不?」,
讓他陷於自相矛盾,終因折服而對佛陀生起信心,出家並證得阿羅漢果。」

Do You Hold That View?
A reader commented:
“If Śāriputra attained awakening upon hearing ‘arising through causes and ceasing through causes,’
it must be because his understanding in Indian knowledge had already been deeply cultivated.”
Haha 😄 — exactly.
I was deeply struck when I read this debate.
It was a match between two equally skilled minds.
When will I reach such ability?
An old memory—yet it returns whenever it’s mentioned.
