Abstract | 五戒與十善,一向被認為是人天善法,且在別解脫 戒中,雖有七眾戒,並以五戒為基本,卻未以十善法列入 七眾的別解脫戒. 而至於在家與出家共同受持的大乘菩薩 戒,雖有從大乘經論中集出的菩薩戒本,也有三聚淨戒作 菩薩戒的總綱,卻未能將十善法作為菩薩戒的基礎來處理 ,以致漢傳的大乘菩薩戒,徒具嚴格的受持形式,而缺少 易學易持的實用效果.
本文基於此問題的癥結所在,詳細查考大小乘諸經 論,介紹說明十善法不僅是人天善法,也是如《大智度論 》所說︰「十善為總相戒」,又說︰「十善則攝一切戒」 . 十善是世間倫理的根本,是佛教七眾別解脫戒的根本, 也是菩薩戒的根本.
本文從阿含部諸經,阿毘曇部諸論,大乘各期經典, 大乘諸論典,及從印度佛教,漢傳大乘,藏傳大乘諸論 師的著述中,找出有關於十善法的內容,雖僅身三. 口四 及意三的十條,而其涵蓋層面則可淺可深,可狹可廣,並 且在凡則凡,在聖則聖,遇小即小,遇大即大,內外道同 轍,僧俗眾共軌,世出世間,有佛無佛,都能適用,又易 實踐的道德軌範. 十善法具無限的包容性和伸縮性,所 以也是極富彈性的菩薩戒法.
古代漢傳的大乘佛教諸大師們,對菩薩戒的觀點, 僅採用少數幾部聖典,例如《梵網》,《瓔珞》,《瑜伽 》,《地持》等經論,未能廣涉大小乘諸經論,也未將藏 傳及南傳的諸聖典中對菩薩戒的根源及其開展,作廣泛 的探討. 本文則從對十善法的研究,發現了漢,藏,巴 利三種語系的聖典中,均有脈絡分明的共通性.
因此,本文主張︰既然已在大小乘諸聖典中,明確地 發現了易受,易行,易持的十善法為最根本的菩薩戒,就 該及時調整,把已往以《梵網經》為菩薩戒受持準則的觀 念和作法,轉成以十善法配合三聚淨戒為受持菩薩戒準則 的觀念和作法,這是回歸佛陀本懷的無上功德.
The panca-'sila (five precepts) and the das 'akus'ala-karmin (ten virtues) have always been thought of as merely virtuous practices that lead to human or heavenly rebirth. Even though the pratimoksa-samvara (precepts for individual- emancipation) hold the panca-s' la (five precepts) as their foundation,and include the 'sila (precepts) for all the seven-fold assemblies (i.e. bhiksu,bhiksun,s'ramanera, 'sramanerika, 'siksamana upasaka and upasika) ,they exclude the das'aku'sala-karmin as a part of the pratimoksa- samvara of the seven-fold assemblies. Although the Mahayana Bodhisattva-'slas, observed by both the laity and left-homers, are compiled from Mahayana 'sutras and 'sastras, and hold the tri-vidha-'sila (three collective pure precepts) as their general axiom,none regard the das 'akus'ala-karmin as their foundation.Because of this, the Chinese Buddhists only carry on the formality of the external strict requirements by adhering to the Bodhisattva-s'la and lack the genuine effect of the practical and applicable sila that can be more readily learned and observed.
This paper is the detailed research of this issue through the Mahayana and Hinayana sutras and sastras and proposes that the das'akus'ala-karmin is not only a virtuous practice that merely leads to human or heavenly rebirth, but according to the Mahaprajn ~ aparamita-'sastra which states ︰ "The da'saku'sala-karmin embraces all 'slas" and else where it asserts ︰."..... the das'akus'ala-karmin assimilates all 'slas." The das'akus'ala-karmin is not only the basis of secular ethics, but is the foundation of the pratimoksa-samvara for the seven-fold assemblies and the Bodhisattva-'silas.
The present paper traces the inherent meaning and the implications of the das'akus'ala-karm in the Agamas, Abhidharma-ko'sa, the various Mahayana sutras and 'sastras of different periods and systems, as well as from the various writings of exegete from Indian,Chinese,and Tibetan Buddhst traditions.Even though the das'akus'ala-karmin entails three aspects concerning the physical body,four aspects dealing with speech and three of consciousnesses, its different facets of implications can be both shallow and profound; narrow and comprehensive. Moreover,to the ordinary it is profane,to the sages it is holy, it can be both minor and lofty; it's even practiced both by Buddhists and non-Buddhists; it is practiced also by left-homers and laity.Whether (the context in which) it is worldly or world-transcending,whether there is a Buddha or not -- the das'akus'ala-karmin could be applicable and practically consummated within the criteria of ethics and virtue. In nature,the das'akus 'ala-karmin can be comprehensive and flexible. Therefore,the das 'akus'ala-karmin is the ultimate meritorious and most flexible form of Bodhisattva-'sla.
The view points towards the Bodhisattva-'sla of the ancient Chinese Mahayana masters wh |
