3. The Crest of the Standard
At Savatthi. There the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus thus: “Bhikkhus!”
“Venerable sir!” those bhikkhus replied.
The Blessed One said this: “Bhikkhus, once in the past the devas and the asuras were arrayed for battle. Then Sakka, lord of the devas, addressed the Tavatimsa devas thus: “Dear sirs, when the devas are engaged in battle, if fear or trepidation or terror should arise, on that occasion you should look up at the crest of my standard. For when you look up at the crest of my standard, whatever fear or trepidation or terror you may have will be abandoned.
“‘If you cannot look up at the crest of my standard, then you should look up at the crest of the deva-king Pajapati’s standard. For when you look up at the crest of his standard, whatever fear or trepidation or terror you may have will be abandoned.
“‘If you cannot look up at the crest of the deva-king Pajapati’s standard, then you should look up at the crest of the deva-king Varuna’s standard….
If you cannot look up at th e crest of the deva-king Varuna’s standard, then you should look up at the crest of the deva-king Isana’s standard…. For when you look up at the crest of his standard, whatever fear or trepidation or terror you may have will be abandoned.’
“Bhikkhus, for those who look up at the crest of the standard of Sakka, lord of the devas; or of Pajapati, the deva-king; or of Varuna, the deva-king; or of Isana, the deva-king, whatever fear or trepidation or terror they may have may or may not be abandoned. For what reason? Because Sakka, lord of the devas, is not devoid of lust, not devoid of hatred, not devoid of delusion; he can be timid, petrified, frightened, quick to flee.
“But, bhikkhus, I say this: If you have gone to a forest or to the foot of a tree or to an empty hut, and fear or trepidation or terror should arise in you, on that occasion you should recollect me thus: ‘The Blessed One is an arahant, fully enlightened, accomplished in true knowledge and conduct, sublime, knower of the world, unsurpassed leader of persons to be tamed, teacher of devas and humans, the Enlightened One, the Blessed One.’ For when you recollect me, bhikkhus, whatever fear or trepidation or terror you may have will be abandoned.
“If you cannot recollect me, then you should recollect the Dhamma thus: ‘The Dhamma is well expounded by the Blessed One, directly visible, immediate, inviting one to co me and see, worthy of application, to be personally experienced by the wise.’ For when you recollect the Dhamma, bhikkhus, whatever fear or trepidation or terror you may have will be abandoned.
“If you cannot recollect the Dhamma, then you should recollect the Sangha thus: ‘The Sangha of the Blessed One’s disciples is practising the good way, practising the straight way, practising the true way, practising the proper way; that is, the four pairs of persons, t he eight types of individuals—this Sangha of the Blessed One’s disciples is worthy of gifts, worthy of hospitality, worthy of offerings, worthy of reverential salutation, the unsurpassed field of merit for the world.’ For when you recollect the Sangha, bhikkhus, whatever fear or trepidation or terror you may have will be abandoned.
“For what reason? Because, bhikkhus, the Tathagata, the Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One is devoid of lust, devoid of hatred, devoid of delusion; he is brave, courageous, bold, ready to stand his place.”
This is what the Blessed One said. Having said this, the Sublime One, the Teacher, further said this:
“In a forest, at the foot of a tree,
Or in an empty hut, O bhikkhus,
You should recollect the Buddha:
No fear will then arise in you.
But if you cannot recall the Buddha,
Best in the world, the bull of men,
Then you should recall the Dhamma,
Emancipating, well expounded.
But if you cannot recall the Dhamma,
Emancipating, well expounded,
Then you should recall the Sangha,
The unsurpassed field of merit.
For those who thus recall the Buddha,
The Dhamma, and the Sangha, bhikkhus,
No fear or trepidation will come,
Nor any grisly terror.”
(相應部 1-11-3)
〔三〕旗尖
〔爾時，世尊〕住舍衛城祇樹給孤獨園。
其時，世尊言諸比丘：「諸比丘！」諸比丘奉答世尊：「唯然！世尊。」
世尊以此宣說：
「諸比丘！遠昔天與阿修羅挑起戰爭。
諸比丘！時天帝釋呼忉利諸天：『友！若赴天部之戰，起毛髮豎立之恐怖、戰慄者，汝等當看我旗尖！汝等若看我旗尖者，起毛髮豎立之恐怖、戰慄當可去除。
汝等若不看我旗尖者，則看波闍波提天王之旗尖。汝等若看波闍波提天王之旗尖者，起毛髮豎立之恐怖、戰慄當可去除。
汝等若不看波闍波提天王之旗尖者，則看婆羅那天王之旗尖……〔乃至〕……
汝等若不看婆樓那天王之旗尖者，則看伊舍那天王之旗尖。汝等若看伊舍那天王之旗尖者，起毛髮豎立之恐怖、戰慄當可去除。』
諸比丘！若看天帝釋之旗尖、波闍波提天王之旗尖、婆樓那天王之旗尖、伊舍那天王者，或可去除；或未可去除其起毛髮豎立之恐怖、戰慄。
何以故？天帝釋未離貪、未離瞋、未離癡、有膽怯病而戰慄、恐怖，是逃避者。
諸比丘！我亦語如是：『汝等或往森林，或於樹下，或入空屋而起毛髮豎立之恐怖、戰慄者，其時當念我！彼世尊是應供、等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上師、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊。』
諸比丘！汝等若憶念我者，當可去除其起毛髮豎立之恐怖、戰慄。
若不憶念我者，則以憶念法，法乃由世尊之所善說者。有現在果報、不隔時，當得云來見者，導引於涅槃者，是有識之士之各自所當知。
諸比丘！汝等若憶念法者，當可去除其起毛髮豎立之恐怖、戰慄。
若不憶念法者，則憶念僧伽。世尊之弟子僧伽乃善行者。世尊之弟子僧伽乃真正行者。世尊之弟子僧伽乃正道行者。世尊之弟子僧伽乃可尊教之修行者。即四雙八輩是。此世尊之弟子僧伽值得供養、值得尊敬、值得布施、值得合掌禮拜、是世間無上福田。
諸比丘，若憶念僧伽者，當可去除其起毛髮豎立之恐怖、戰慄。
何以故？諸比丘！如來、應供、等正覺者，乃離貪、離瞋、離癡、無膽怯、無戰慄、無恐怖、無逃避者。」
世尊如此宣說。善逝說已、師更宣說次偈曰：
林中或樹下 孤寂場所時
諸比丘思念 正等正覺者
汝等無恐怖 若是世間主
人中之牛王 不憶念佛者
則憶念善說 導引涅槃法
不憶念善說 導於涅槃法
則憶念僧伽 無上之福田
如是佛法僧 若以憶念者
比丘等恐怖 汝等當無有
毛髮之豎立
