  6. 《缘起法颂》梵文唱颂

    Posted by admin on Monday, 30 January 2017

    唱颂者：Vidya Rao女士

    缘起法颂：佛教的五比丘之一——马胜（Aśvajit）在王舍城路遇六师外道之一散若· 毗罗梨子的弟子舍利弗（Śāriputra），向其介绍自己佛陀的学说，诵出著名的“缘起法颂”，也称“缘起偈”，表明释迦牟尼的教法属于与婆罗门相对抗的沙门阵营，主张一切现象有生有灭皆赖因缘，而不归于第一因神创，或恒常不灭的梵我本体。舍利弗深有感悟，遂同好友目犍连（Maudgalyāyana）率其徒众在竹林精舍皈依了佛陀，而后二人成为佛陀的重要弟子，而“缘起法颂”后来被视作佛陀教法的最精要概括，称为“法身偈”，意即有此偈颂之处即有佛之法身（dharmakāya），因此常铭刻于佛像塔庙之上或装藏于其中。

     

    义净《南海寄归内法传》：“凡形像及以制底，金银铜铁泥漆瓦砖，或聚沙雪。当作之时，中安二种舍利：一谓大师身骨，二谓缘起法颂。其颂曰：诸法从缘起，如来说是因。彼法因缘尽，是大沙门说。”

    hetuṃ teṣāṃ tathāgato hy avadat
    teṣāṃ ca yo nirodha
    evaṃvādī mahāśramaṇaḥ //
