..续本文上一页diya Kaligodha doesn”t enjoy leading the holy life, for when he was a householder he knew the bliss of kingship, so that now, on recollecting that, he is repeatedly exclaiming, ”What bliss! What bliss!”"
Then the Blessed One told a certain monk, "Come, monk. In my name, call Bhaddiya, saying, ”The Teacher calls you, my friend.”"
"As you say, lord," the monk answered and, having gone to Ven. Bhaddiya, on arrival he said, "The Teacher calls you, my friend."
"As you say, my friend," Ven. Bhaddiya replied. Then he went to the Blessed One and, on arrival, having bowed down to him, sat to one side. As he was sitting there, the Blessed One said to him, "Is it true, Bhaddiya that, on going to a forest, to the foot of a tree, or to an empty dwelling, you repeatedly exclaim, ”What bliss! What bliss!”
"
"Yes, lord."
"What meaning do you have in mind that you repeatedly exclaim, ”What bliss! What bliss!”
"
"Before, when I was a householder, maintaining the bliss of kingship, I had guards posted within and without the royal apartments, within and without the city, within and without the countryside. But even though I was thus guarded, thus protected, I dwelled in fear — agitated, distrustful, and afraid. But now, on going alone to a forest, to the foot of a tree, or to an empty dwelling, I dwell without fear, unagitated, confident, and unafraid — unconcerned, unruffled, my wants satisfied, with my mind like a wild deer. This is the meaning I have in mind that I repeatedly exclaim, ”What bliss! What bliss!”"
Then, on realizing the significance of that, the Blessed One on that occasion exclaimed:
In whom there exists
no provocation,
for whom becoming & non-becoming
are overcome,
he is one — beyond fear,
blissful,
without grief,
whom the devas can”t see.

6. Seclusion
§ 6.1. I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying near Savatthi in Jeta”s Grove, Anathapindika”s monastery. Now at that time a certain lay follower from Icchanangalaka had arrived in Savatthi on some business affairs. Having settled his affairs in Savatthi, he went to the Blessed One and, on arrival, having bowed down to him, sat to one side. As he was sitting there, the Blessed One said to him, "At long last you have managed to come here."
"For a long time I have wanted to come see the Blessed One, lord, but being involved in one business affair after another, I have not been able to do so."
Then, on realizing the significance of that, the Blessed One on that occasion exclaimed:
How blissful it is, for one who has nothing
who has mastered the Dhamma,
is learned.
See how they suffer, those who have something,
people bound in body
with people.

§ 6.2. "”This Dhamma is for one who is reclusive, not for one who is entangled.” Thus was it said. With reference to what was it said
There is the case where a monk, when living in seclusion, is visited by monks, nuns, lay men, lay women, kings, royal ministers, sectarians & their disciples. With his mind bent on seclusion, tending toward seclusion, inclined toward seclusion, aiming at seclusion, relishing renunciation, he converses with them only as much is necessary for them to take their leave. ”This Dhamma is for one who is reclusive, not for one in entanglement.” Thus was it said. And with reference to this was it said.

§ 6.3. Now at that time a large number of monks, after the meal, on returning from their alms round, had gathered at the meeting hall and were engaged in many kinds of bestial topics of conversation:…
