智度耶舍 僧團建立丘
佛於鹿野苑度化耶舍長者子及其親友,共五十人為徒,都證得阿羅漢,建立常隨眾僧團組織。耶舍的母親皈依佛陀,成為佛教第一位優婆夷(註11)。
Yasas was Converted, Order of Monks Established.
Buddha ordained Yasas and his relatives, fifty people
in total, to form the first regular order of monks who
would follow Buddha as he moved around to teach. Yasas’s
mother took refuge with the Buddha and became the first
upasika (11) (Buddhist lay-woman) in Buddhist history.
註十一
優婆夷是梵語,華言清淨女,謂雖在家,亦能堅持不殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語、不飲酒等五戒,清淨自守,故名優婆夷。參考《三藏法數》
(11)Upasika is a Sanskrit term for a female lay-disciple
or laywoman who vows to observe the five precepts of no
killing, no stealing, no sexual misconduct, no lying,
no drinking intoxicants. She was pure and abided strictly
to these precepts. She was thus
named Upasika.
