是見受不？Do You Hold That View?

 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，
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.

Long-Fingernail Brahmin

• Lost a debate to his pregnant sister, felt ashamed, and left to study in South India. He vowed to master eighteen scriptures and became known for not cutting his nails. 

• He held the view of rejecting all teachings and debated the Buddha. 

• The Buddha asked:
“If you reject everything, do you accept this view?”
He fell into contradiction, was convinced, developed faith, became a monk, and attained arhatship.
