妙悟

<h1>故事 104：公心与私心 佛陀在吠舍离城的庵摩罗园安居时，曾遇到这么一件事： 吠舍离城南有一个小村子，村外树林里住着一个外道，修持神通。这个外道经常幻化成魔鬼到村子里作恶。为了使村民们过上安宁的生活，村长决定去找外道，并除掉他。 村长来到树林，找到外道，并打败了他。就在他抽出刀准备杀掉他时，外道说："等一下，在杀我之前容我先说几句话。"村长答应了。 "杀了我你能有什么好处呢！"外道说："如果你饶过我，我会报答你的。" "那我饶了你又会有什么好处呢？"村长道。 外道答："你要是让我活命，我会每天夜里在你的床头放一个金币，一直到你生命的最后一天。 村长动摇了，他考虑了一会儿，接受了外道的条件，放走了他。 但是，外道只是在头三天为村长留下了金币，第四天就没有了。村长很生气，再次出去寻找外道。 很快，村长在树林里找到了外道。他再次同外道决斗，但是，被外道摔在地上。村长输了。当外道举起刀，准备把村长杀掉时，村长说："我放弃原来的要求。原来那几枚金币也还给你。我们两讫。" 外道答应了他。 村长回去之后，感到很郁闷。于是来到庵摩罗园，就此事向佛陀讨教。村长问佛陀："为什么我第一次能够战胜他，而第二次却输给了呢？" 佛陀说："第一次你是为了正义而决斗；而第二次，你是为私欲。所以，第一次你会赢，第二次就输了。" （附原文：Vaishya OM from the city of Buddha when Moro gardens housing, had encountered such a thing: Bark House South of the city there is a small village in the woods outside the village there lived a man, practice theurgy.
