駝瓮俱失
THE CAME AND THE JAR ARE BOTH LOST
原文
昔有一人，先瓮中盛谷。駱駝入頭，瓮中食谷，復不得出。既不得出，以為憂惱。有一老人來，語之言：“汝莫愁也。我教汝出。汝用我語，必得速出。汝當斬頭，自得出之。”即用其語，以刀斬頭。既復殺駝，而復破瓮。如此痴人，世間所笑。凡夫愚人，亦復如是。希心菩提，志求三乘，宜持禁戒，防護諸惡。然為五欲，毀破淨戒。既犯禁已，舍離三乘，縱心極意，無惡不造。乘及淨戒，二俱捐舍。如彼愚人，駝瓮俱失。
翻譯
從前有個人，先是在瓮中盛了穀子。駱駝伸頭進瓮中吃穀子，過後伸不出來了。如此，這人很是憂惱。有一位老人來對他說：「你不要愁啊!我教你怎樣弄出來，你聽我的話，必定能快快弄出。你應斬掉它的頭，自然可出來了。」就採用了他的話，以刀斬頭。既殺了駱駝，又破了瓮，如此愚人，世間所笑。
凡夫愚人也是這樣，一意嚮往正覺，志在求得聲聞、緣覺、菩薩三乘之果，那么，就應該受持禁戒，防止種種惡行，然而為了財、色、名、食、睡這五欲的享受，毀破了淨戒。既犯了戒，又舍離三乘，縱心極意，無惡不作。三乘和淨戒，兩樣都喪失了，如那個愚人一樣，駱駝和瓮都失掉了。
英文翻譯
Once upon a time, there was a man who had a jar used to hold grain. A camel put its head into it to eat the grain, but it could not get its head out. The man became angry and worried. An old man came up to him and said, "Don't be upset. I'll tell you how to get him out. It'll get its head out in no time if you listen to me. You should cut off its head and he'll be out."
The man followed his words. He killed the camel and also broke the jar. Such an idiot was jeered by the people at large.
This is also held to be true with the common stupid men. Those who hope for Enlightened minds through the Three Vehicles, must keep commandments and avoid doing evil deeds. However, they indulge themselves in the Five Desires, which will destroy them. Not only do they end up breaking commandments, but also giving up the Three Vehicles. In addition, they follow their own inclination and yield to their whims at the same time. There is nothing evil they will not do. Thus they abandon both the Three Vehicles and the pure commandments like that stupid man losing both the camel and the jar.
