[1]弊魔試目連經[2](一名魔嬈亂經)

吳月支[3]國居士支謙譯

聞如是：

一時，佛遊於焚祇國妙華山恐懼聚鹿
T01n0067_p0867a06：苑中。爾時，賢者大目[4]乾連，夜於冥中經行，
T01n0067_p0867a07：由於平路經行往返。於時，弊魔往詣[5]佛所，
T01n0067_p0867a08：自化徹景入目連腹中。賢者大目[＊]乾連：「吾
T01n0067_p0867a09：腹何故而作雷鳴？猶如飢人而負重擔。吾將
T01n0067_p0867a10：入室正受三昧，觀察其源。」於是目連即入其
T01n0067_p0867a11：室三昧觀身，即時覩見弊魔作化徹景入其
T01n0067_p0867a12：腹中，即謂之曰：「弊魔！且出且出！莫嬈如來及
T01n0067_p0867a13：其弟子，將無長夜獲苦不安墜于惡趣。」

魔心
T01n0067_p0867a14：念言：「今此沙門，未會見我亦不知我，橫造妄
T01n0067_p0867a15：語：『弊魔！且出且出！勿嬈如來及其弟子，將無
T01n0067_p0867a16：長夜獲苦不安。』正使其師大聖世尊，尚不知
T01n0067_p0867a17：吾，況其弟子？」

目連報曰：「吾復知[6]復知卿今
T01n0067_p0867a18：心所念：『其師大聖尚不能知，況其弟子，知吾
T01n0067_p0867a19：所在耶？』」魔即恐懼：「今此沙門已覺我矣！」即化
T01n0067_p0867a20：徹身出住其前。

目連告魔：「乃往過去久遠之
T01n0067_p0867a21：世，拘樓秦佛時，我曾為魔，號曰瞋恨。吾有一
T01n0067_p0867a22：姉，名曰黤黑，爾時汝為作子，以是知之，是吾
T01n0067_p0867a23：姉子。爾時有佛出于世間，號拘樓秦如來、至
T01n0067_p0867a24：真、等正覺，有二弟子，一曰洪音，二曰知想，最
T01n0067_p0867a25：尊第一仁賢難及。何故賢者名曰洪音？住於
T01n0067_p0867a26：梵天[7]謦揚[8]大聲，聞于三千大千世界。何故
T01n0067_p0867a27：賢者名知想？若處閑居，坐於樹下、曠野山中，
T01n0067_p0867a28：如其色像三昧正受。牧羊牧牛、擔薪負草、田
T01n0067_p0867a29：居行人，見之如此，各相謂言：『於此命過，吾等
T01n0067_p0867b01：各各[A1]輦薪負草，共[9]蛇維之。』如其所言，即共
T01n0067_p0867b02：[＊]蛇維。知想比丘從三昧起，奮迅衣服去其埃
T01n0067_p0867b03：灰，更整法服，持鉢入城國邑聚落而行分衛。
T01n0067_p0867b04：牧牛羊者負薪草人，[A2]心懷驚愕各各相謂：『吾
T01n0067_p0867b05：在曠野閑居，見此比丘，坐於樹下而不喘息，
T01n0067_p0867b06：謂之命過，共積薪草而蛇維之。』今[10]者知想，
T01n0067_p0867b07：以是之故曰想識。

「於是瞋恚魔心自念言：『此
T01n0067_p0867b08：輩沙門自謂持戒，寂然默聲思惟而行，譬如
T01n0067_p0867b09：狗猫思欲捕鼠，靜然不動鼠出即搏，沙門禪
T01n0067_p0867b10：思亦復如是。譬如[11]鶬鶴而欲捕魚，默靜聲潛
T01n0067_p0867b11：思魚出則吞，諸沙門等亦復如是，潛思惟念
T01n0067_p0867b12：專有所求。譬如大驢晝負重駄至夜疲極，飢
T01n0067_p0867b13：渴潛思欲得食飲，諸沙門等亦復如是。』

「時，魔心念：『我寧可化於此國土長者梵志，取
T01n0067_p0867b15：諸持戒沙門道人，撾捶罵詈、裂衣破鉢破頭。
T01n0067_p0867b16：[A3]令起瞋恚，吾因是緣得其方便。』尋如所念，即
T01n0067_p0867b17：化國中長者梵志，取諸沙門持戒奉法，撾捶
T01n0067_p0867b18：罵詈、壞鉢破頭、裂其被服。此諸沙門，如猫捕
T01n0067_p0867b19：鼠如鶴吞魚，譬如鵄梟於樹間捕鼠，諸沙門
T01n0067_p0867b20：坐禪亦復如是，如驢飢疲。時諸比丘，皆被毀
T01n0067_p0867b21：辱低頭直行，至拘樓秦佛所。佛為四輩天龍
T01n0067_p0867b22：鬼神廣說經道，見諸比丘被毀辱來，告諸比
T01n0067_p0867b23：丘：『[12]比丘！今瞋恨魔化諸國中長者梵志，取
T01n0067_p0867b24：諸持戒奉法沙門，撾捶罵詈、破頭壞鉢、裂其
T01n0067_p0867b25：衣服，令心變恨起瞋恚意，吾以是緣得其方
T01n0067_p0867b26：便使道不成。爾等於此，當行四等：慈、悲、喜、護，
T01n0067_p0867b27：不懷怨結，無瞋恨心，廣大難限普安無邊等
T01n0067_p0867b28：于十方，雖求汝便終不能得。』比丘受教，所在
T01n0067_p0867b29：閑居曠野一心禪思，行四等心意無增減。時瞋
T01n0067_p0867c01：恚魔，雖求持戒奉法沙門之便，永不能得。

「爾
T01n0067_p0867c02：時長者梵志從受魔教，毀辱持戒奉法沙門，
T01n0067_p0867c03：壽終之後皆歸惡趣，勤苦瘦惱[13]考掠之處。在
T01n0067_p0867c04：地獄中受其化身，譬如大樹，其廣大如大曠
T01n0067_p0867c05：野，在燒鐵地裸形[A4]自投，各自謂言：『吾等薄祐
T01n0067_p0867c06：殃暴弊惡，乃取持戒奉法沙門毀辱罵詈，吾
T01n0067_p0867c07：等於此歸命呼嗟，不能得見持戒奉法沙門，
T01n0067_p0867c08：欲求其便因緣相見，已自造此自獲其殃，坐
T01n0067_p0867c09：隨魔教不能護身。』

「爾時，瞋恚魔心自念言：『因是方便，求諸沙門
T01n0067_p0867c11：持戒人便，永不能得；必當變行，化諸長者梵
T01n0067_p0867c12：志，供養奉侍持戒沙門，衣被飯食床臥醫藥，
T01n0067_p0867c13：使貪供養，因是之緣吾得其便。』尋如其計，即
T01n0067_p0867c14：化[14]國中長者梵志，所在行路四徼道中，若在
T01n0067_p0867c15：街曲，見諸持戒沙門道人，布髮著地令行其
T01n0067_p0867c16：上，皆口稱曰：『持戒沙門，修身勤行，難值難遇，
T01n0067_p0867c17：唯蹈吾髮，使我長夜得福無量。』持擎衣服，往
T01n0067_p0867c18：造其所，稽首長跪：『願見愍傷，受此衣服。』笥
T01n0067_p0867c19：[15]籢盛食，詣就精舍，若街巷里頭供奉上供養：
T01n0067_p0867c20：『持戒沙門難值難遇，願受此供，使我長夜得
T01n0067_p0867c21：福無量。』抱之擎之，若負擔之輿之，歸於其舍，
T01n0067_p0867c22：坐著好床，出諸飯食衣服袈裟金銀七寶，而
T01n0067_p0867c23：著其前，長跪白曰：『持戒沙門難值難見，願受
T01n0067_p0867c24：此供，唯見愍傷，恣意所欲，使我長夜得福無
T01n0067_p0867c25：量。』

「時拘樓秦佛為諸四輩諸天龍神，見諸持
T01n0067_p0867c26：戒沙門道士，為諸長者梵志所見供養敬事
T01n0067_p0867c27：無量。告諸比丘：『今瞋恚魔！化諸長者梵志，使
T01n0067_p0867c28：供養持戒沙門道士，衣被飯食床臥醫藥，恣
T01n0067_p0867c29：意所欲使著供養，吾因是緣得其方便，壞其
T01n0067_p0868a01：善心使道不成。汝等所由閑居巖處曠野，
T01n0067_p0868a02：念諸萬物所在無常，雖著衣食莫以貪樂，苦
T01n0067_p0868a03：空非身，魔雖求便終不能得。』諸比丘即受拘
T01n0067_p0868a04：樓秦如來、至真、等正覺教，行之如法，魔雖求
T01n0067_p0868a05：便永不能得。

「魔所教化長者梵志，使令供養
T01n0067_p0868a06：持戒沙門，由此之德皆生天上。生天上已，各
T01n0067_p0868a07：心念言：『吾等供養奉法沙門持戒清淨，自獲
T01n0067_p0868a08：是福，不由他人，非天所與。』

「爾時，拘樓秦佛如來、至真、等正覺，飯食之後
T01n0067_p0868a10：以日昳時，與大弟子洪音俱[1]行遊於郡縣。於
T01n0067_p0868a11：時，弊魔化作大人為勇猛士，手執大棒住于
T01n0067_p0868a12：道側，竊舉大棒擊洪音頭，破頭灑血其血流
T01n0067_p0868a13：離，爾時辟䨴在世尊後，如影隨形默聲無言。
T01n0067_p0868a14：時拘樓秦如來無極大聖，還顧歎息，口演此
T01n0067_p0868a15：言：『今瞋恚魔！不知節限所造大過。』時瞋恚魔，
T01n0067_p0868a16：即以此身墮沒地獄，宛轉地獄，如魚[2]蝌蚪出
T01n0067_p0868a17：水在於陸地，譬如生剝牛皮，宛轉在地痛不
T01n0067_p0868a18：可言。時魔波旬，在於地獄宛轉毒痛，又過於
T01n0067_p0868a19：此億千萬倍，譬若如人，身得狂病走不安處。

「時魔波旬，墮大地獄苦痛無量，時泥梨傍往
T01n0067_p0868a21：語之言：『子欲知之，若有一籌，一鳥飛現，知過
T01n0067_p0868a22：十千萬歲，如是之比亦復難限。弊魔！吾在地
T01n0067_p0868a23：獄壽數如是，然後乃從大地獄出，更復遭厄
T01n0067_p0868a24：二萬餘歲。』爾時，弊魔甚大愁毒。」

佛為目連說
T01n0067_p0868a25：此偈言：

佛說如是，諸天龍神莫不歡喜。
