 跨時空而來6-1

掉舉疑雲

攤開《雜阿含經》佛陀要求其證入羅漢果位的弟子去其他地方弘法的例子比比皆是。

去不熟悉的地方跟完全不熟悉的人們，訴說理論其困難是很大的。


面對這些新的經驗，新認識的人們，佛陀弟子們都必須動用智慧去判斷問題所在進而解決。

而後來許多對佛典的解釋，趨向於阿羅漢的神通無所不在，無所不能，
只要他們願意的話，什麼困難都沒有？


所以阿羅漢聖者是永遠浸在光芒的世界裏，沒有「掉舉」（思考）可言。

這樣的解釋把聖果人物完全合理化的包裝，
所以他們在人間的一切活動足跡最好是不要存在，只留下聖言聖語，回應著眾生的神格圓滿觀。

把真實的證悟人物拉離人間，讓佛法修證過程陷入斷層，
讓價值不可思議的佛法就這樣斷送！

（以下AI資料：在《雜阿含經》中，佛陀派遣弟子去弘法最著名的記載出自第1062經（按《大正藏》編號，亦有部份版本編為第1061經，對應巴利聖典《相應部》的《魔相應》）。

在這部經文中，佛陀對已證得阿羅漢果的弟子們叮嚀，鼓勵他們向世人宣揚佛法。）

Across Time and Space 6-1—The Restlessness Issue

 

The Saṃyukta Āgama contains many examples of the Buddha sending disciples who had attained Arhatship to other places to teach the Dharma.

 

Going to unfamiliar places and teaching people they had never met was not easy. In such circumstances, explaining the Dharma required great wisdom.

 

When confronted with unfamiliar situations and people, the Buddha’s disciples had to use their wisdom to recognize the problems and resolve them.

 

Yet later interpretations of the Buddhist scriptures increasingly presented Arhats as beings whose supernatural powers were limitless. If they wished, no difficulty seemed capable of troubling them.

 

Thus, Arhat sages came to be portrayed as permanently immersed in a world of light, with no “restlessness” (auddhatya), and therefore no need for thought or reflection.

 

Such interpretations transform enlightened beings into perfectly idealized figures. Their real lives and activities in the human world are removed, leaving only their sacred words to satisfy an idealized perfect, divine image of the sage.

 

When genuine enlightened beings are separated from human life, the actual process of Buddhist practice and realization is also severed.

 

In this way, the immeasurable value of the Buddha-Dharma is lost.
