佛說四十二章經 The Sutra in Forty-two Sections Spoken by the Buddha [1]



佛說四十二章經 
http://book.bfnn.org/books/0024.htm#a13

宣化上人主講
一九七四年於美國加州三藩市金山聖寺

第一章 出家證果

佛言。辭親出家。識心達本。解無為法。名曰沙門。常行二百五十戒。進止清淨。為四真道行。成阿羅漢。
這是四十二章的第一章,這是說的沙門可以證阿羅漢果。

「佛言,辭親出家」:出家,按照佛法,必須要得到父母的許可。不像美國這個國,過了十八歲以後,就自己有自由了,你願意做什麼,就做什麼。以前在印度和中國,佛教因為隨順國家的風俗,必須要向父親、母親說明白,告辭說:「我出家去了」,這叫辭親。出家,就是把身心性命都奉獻給三寶,永遠不再做世俗人的事了,這叫辭親出家。辭就是辭別父母,辭親出家,就是親近三寶,到佛法僧道場裏邊出家了。

這出家,有出世俗家。世俗,就是一般世間的家庭。每一個家庭都有它的麻煩,在眷屬裏邊,常常互相爭吵,沒有什麼真正的快樂,所以要出這個世俗家,也就是火宅家。

所謂「三界無安,猶如火宅」,所以也叫出三界家,出欲界、色界、無色界這個家。

又叫出煩惱家,因為在家的人都有煩煩惱惱,沒有真正的快樂,所以就想要出家。出家之後,必須要斷煩惱,發菩提心,這才是出家。

The Sutra in Forty-two Sections Spoken by the Buddha
http://online.sfsu.edu/rone/Buddhism/BTTStexts/Sutra%20in%20Forty-two%20Sections.htm
Section 1   - Leaving Home and Becoming an Arhat

The Buddha said, people who take leave of their families and go forth from the householder life, who know their mind and penetrate to its origin, and who understand the unconditioned Dharma are called Shramanas. They constantly observe the 250 precepts, and they value purity in all that they do. By practicing the four true paths, they can become Arhats."

This is the first section of the Sutra in Forty-two Sections.
It says that a Shramana (Buddhist monk)can become an Arhat.

The Buddha said, people who take leave of their families and go forth from the householder life. "When you leave home, according to the Buddha dharma it is necessary to receive your parents ' permission . It not like in America where you are free after the age of eighteen to do whatever you want. 
Formerly, within Buddhism in India and in China, in order to comply with the custom of the country, it was necessary to tell your plans to your parents: going to leave the home life. " This is called taking leave of them. 

To leave home is to respectfully offer up your body, mind, and life to the Triple Jewel and no longer to engage in worldly affairs. 
This is what is meant by take leave of their families and go forth from the householder life. " You enter a place of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, and you leave the home-life.

In going forth from the householder life, you leave the ordinary household that has been your worldly home.
Every household has its own troubles; there is constant quarrelling among relatives and no real happiness. 
Thus you want to leave the mundane home, which is also called the burning house. 
It is said, he three realms are like a burning house; there is no peace to be found in them. " 
Therefore, it also called leaving the home of the three realms --the desire realm, the form realm, and the formless realm. 
It also called leaving the home of afflictions. Laypeople all have afflictions and no true happiness; that why they wish to leave home. 
Once you leave home, it essential that you cut off afflictions and resolve your mind on Bodhi. That is what is meant by leaving home.
