見神見魔又如何?

在佛陀的時代,有一個人很喜歡探究世間的實相,總是在思惟諸如此類的問題:「世間常?世間無常?世間有邊?世間無邊?靈魂與肉身是一體的?靈魂與肉身是可以分開的?...死後的世界究竟存在還是不存在?」(十四無記)。有一天,他離開王舍城,獨自來到蘇瑪格塔蓮花池畔,一個人坐在那裡靜思。

正當他想得出神時,忽然看見大隊的兵眾湧入一個蓮篷的孔裡,倏乎不見。看到這種異象,他心想:「完了!我一定是瘋了!我的精神出了毛病!因為我看見世上不存在的事。」他回到城裡,逢人就說他看見兵眾鑽入蓮篷的孔且消失不見這件事,而且表示自己一定是瘋了。那些與他交談過的人也認為他瘋了。這個人很謙虛很惶恐,他沒有認為自己有別人所不具備的能力,而是認為自己生病了。

佛陀在竹林精舍裡,因說法的需要,而談起了此事。佛陀卻說那個人沒有發瘋,他看見的是事實。當時諸天正與阿修羅交戰,魔眾不敵敗退,以神通力從一個蓮篷的孔返回魔宮。因緣會遇,讓他看到了非常人所能見到的世間事。那個人可能在寂靜的池邊思索時,有了禪定的經驗,而暫時生起某種超常的能力,但見神見魔還是世間事,而且這種經驗對人沒有益處。

於是佛陀重申三寶弟子應避免思惟十四無記之類的問題,因為它們徒勞無益,即便你有神秘經驗,它們也仍然無濟於解脫生老病死苦。三寶弟子應思惟四聖諦,因為這能解脫生老病死苦。
