百喻經之九二: 小兒得歡喜丸喻
§92 小兒得歡喜丸喻
(92) the child gets happy pills
昔有一乳母,抱兒涉路,行道疲極,睡眠不覺。時有一人,持歡喜丸,授與小兒。小兒得已,貪其美味,不顧身物。此人即時解其鉗鎖、瓔珞、衣物,都盡持去。
once upon a time, a wet nurse was walking along the road with a child in her arms. she became also weary that she fell asleep on the way. then a man appeared and gave the child some happy pills. being gluttonous, the child was lured by the good taste and knew nothing about his intentions. the man forthwith stripped the child of his necklace, brooches and garments.
比丘亦爾。樂在眾務憒鬧之處,貪少利養,為煩惱賊,奪其功德、戒寶、瓔珞,如彼小兒貪少味故,一切所有,賊盡持去。
this is also held to be true with the monks. intent upon worldly interests and noisy places, those who are greedy for a little gain and support are drawn to temptation while a thief steals their spiritual credit and treasured commandments. they are just like that greedy child whose belongings are taken away by the thief, due to the enticement of some tasteful pills.
