故事 107：日用常行饶益，成道非由施钱
摩罗国是古印度十六国之一，地处印度的北部。佛陀直至晚年才来到这儿。他非常喜欢这个国家，因为这个国家实行的是共和制，民众自由，且安居乐业。
佛陀到达摩罗国时，已名满天下，恒河上下，如雷贯耳。因此，一到达摩罗国，就有民众前来皈依或追随他。
一天，佛陀在摩罗国的双树林讲法，从拘尸那城来了三位兄弟，他们要皈依佛陀，并跟随他出家修道。可是，由于他们的双亲还在。三兄弟中，必须有一人要留在家里。让哪两个出家，哪一个留在家里呢？据巴利文的史书记载，佛陀是这样选择的：
佛陀说："善来，告诉我，你们做的最高尚的一件事是什么？"
首先讲的是大哥，他说："我曾经在邻国做贸易，往来奔波于恒河两岸。一天，我遇到一个陌生人，他对我十分信任，托我把一袋金币交给他在邻国做买卖的儿子，当我游历到他儿子所在的那个城市时，我把金币原封不动地交给了他的儿子。"
佛陀说："你做的很好！"
接着是二哥，他说："我曾经在恒河上游一带游历。当我来到一个村庄时，刚好碰到一伙强盗打劫，我冲上去帮村民们赶走了强盗，保护了他们的财产。"
佛陀说："你做得很好。"
三弟最后说："我在生意场上有一个仇人，他千方百计地加害于我，有好几次，我差点就死在他设置的圈套里。有一次，我独自骑马走在冈仁波其山，发现我的仇人因饥渴昏死在路边，当时，我只要轻轻一推，他就会跌入万丈深渊。但我没有那样做，而是抱起他，给他水喝和奶酪吃，最后他走出了大山。几年后，在通往迦尸国的山路上，一只老虎突然从旁边的草丛中蹿出来，朝我飞奔而来。这时，我的仇人带着商队正巧从这儿路过，他一箭就结果了老虎的命。我问他为什么要救我，他说是你救我在先，你的仁爱化解了我的仇恨。不过，尊者！这实在算不上什么高尚的事。"
佛陀听了，没有言语。据说，后来佛陀把老大、老二收为弟子。让老三回家了。在佛陀的心中，诚实是做人应有的品德。老大做的事，算不上高尚的事。老二做的事，也不算高尚。因为在人有危难时，伸出援手，是每个人的职责。佛陀认为，只有老三做了一件高尚而神圣的事。得饶人处且饶人，这是一种宽容，是一种博大的胸怀，是一种伟大的仁慈。出家修行，就是修忍辱，宽容和仁慈。他既然具备了这些美德，也就没有必要再做他的弟子了。
佛陀认为，佛性每个人都有，我们每天都在用它，它给我们带来很多的利益；一个人想成就佛道，开显智慧，完全用不着从外境去寻求什么玄妙的义理，那是舍本逐末，永远不可能开智慧的。
佛性本自具足，是我们自己的妄想分别与执著把我们的佛性给遮盖了，修行佛道就是让自己的清净心现前，自性彰显，而不是拜师学艺，心外求法。
日用常行饶益，
成道非由施钱。
心平何劳持戒，
行直不须坐禅。
