结集真相的一些讨论
(1) 七窟内500结集没有结集大乘经典的原因
问: 第一次七叶窟结集,为何没有结集大乘经典?原因为何?是否第一次结集只有部分阿含
,因为某些学者这样说
答:
由结集的过程来看,当初所谓的五百结集,是由声闻僧迦叶所带领,因为当初结集的声闻
僧基于两个理由,并没有完整把二、三转法轮经典结集,才导致人数更多、规模更大的窟
外结集;这两个理由第一个是智慧狭劣,缺乏念心所,不能理解大乘法义的情况下,使的
在场结集的声闻众仅记下了大乘法名相,而没有大乘法实义的结集,但实际上当初在第一
个五百结集时,四阿含就已经完整结集,如长阿含部般泥洹经卷下提到从阿难得四阿含,
包括中阿含、长阿含、杂阿含、增一阿含,而且四阿含文,各六十疋素,另外在摩诃僧祇
律、毘尼母经也都有提到,可见当时的结集还有文字记载;那五百结集没有结集大乘法的
第二个理由是很多声闻众在深心里有大我慢,不信佛陀的证境与阿罗汉不同,所以有法华
退席的事件,这也是第一次五百结集时没有完整结集出大乘法义的另一个原因
颂曰:
五百结集由迦叶, 二三法轮经未集。 智慧狭劣声闻众, 由如今人某某误。
四阿含文已全, 中、长、杂、增一。 摩诃、毘尼也有述, 文字留存经文义。
声闻众有大我慢, 不信佛证境不同。 法华五千退席众, 大乘法义未全结。
Question: Why wasn't the Mahayana scriptures included in the first compilation
of the Seven Treasures? What were the reasons behind it? Did the first compil
ation only include some of the Agamas, as Master someone said?
Answer:
From the process of compilation, the so-called Five Hundred Compilation was le
d by the Sravaka monk Kasyapa. However, due to two reasons, the two and three
turnings of the Dharma Wheel were not completely included, which led to a larg
er gathering outside the cave. The first reason was due to the limited wisdom
and lack of mindfulness of the Sravakas, who couldn't understand the Mahayana
teachings, resulting in only the names of the Mahayana teachings being recorde
d without their meaning. In fact, during the first Five Hundred Compilation, t
he complete collection of the Four Agamas had already been compiled, including
the Digha Nikaya, Majjhima Nikaya, Samyutta Nikaya, and Anguttara Nikaya. Eac
h of the Four Agamas had sixty volumes, as mentioned in the Mahasamghika Vinay
a and Vinaya-mulaka Abhidharma. This indicates that there were written records
of the compilation at that time.
The second reason why the Mahayana teachings
were not included in the Five Hundred Compilation was that many Sravakas had
the pride of ego and did not believe that the Buddha's realization was differe
nt from that of an Arhat. Therefore, there were incidents of the Lotus Sutra b
eing abandoned, which was another reason why the Mahayana teachings were not f
ully compiled in the first Five Hundred Compilation.
Verse:
Kasyapa led the Five Hundred Compilation, The Two and Three Turnings were not
included. The Sravakas' wisdom was limited, As Master someone wrongly said.
The Four Agamas were already complete, Digha, Majjhima, Samyutta, and Anguttar
a. Recorded in Mahasamghika and Vinaya-mulaka Abhidharma, Written records of t
he scriptures are seen.
The Sravakas had pride in ego, Not believing in the Buddha's realization. The
Lotus Sutra had five thousand abandoners, The Mahayana teachings were not full
y compiled.
