    菩提迦耶的记忆 2

    Kaygu Monlam Chenmo
     
          佛陀在祇园精舍教化的时候,一天,当佛陀托钵经过街道,有一对夫妇供养佛陀一钵饭,佛陀说:
      『种一收十,种十收百,种百收万,你们以此一钵饭的布施功德,将获得无量的福报。』
       佛陀说后,正想离开,但那对夫妇怀疑的问道:
      『佛陀!我们凡愚的人真不了解,仅仅一钵饭的布施,哪能获得多大的福报?』
       佛陀解释道: 
      『你见过尼拘陀树吗?一树茂盛到四五里路之远,每年落下的果实有数万斛之多。当初,尼拘陀树的种子,也只是一粒果实。』
     
     
          两千五百多年后的今天,佛陀古制已经不再如当初一样盛行,也许人们宁愿相信只有将金钱投资到股票市场,才可以获得巨额的返还。然而了知三世的噶玛巴相信:供养如法修行的出家人,是修习清静善业的难得因缘;那一只只擎举的空钵,是末法众生难知难遇的上好福田。所以每年的噶举大祈愿法会都有一天,是特别安排的僧众托钵仪式。
          与会的僧众在传承仁波切的带领下,身穿金黄法衣,左手托波,右手持锡杖,由正觉塔的东门开始,缓缓走到菩提迦耶的大街上。在路旁等候的信众远远看见那支黄金队伍,骚动起来,向前又怕失了恭敬,退后更怕少了虔诚,最后终于推推搡搡、谦谦让让地找到了最恰当的方式:那是对三宝最大程度的亲近,仅仅保留一个触手可及的距离。
          依照大宝法王的吩咐,信众应依佛制的规定,仅供养食物而非金钱。人们将事前准备的水果、饼干、糖果依次放入僧众的钵中,僧钵迅速被填满,又一次一次倒空,旋即又再被填满。全长500米的托钵路程,一次一次上演钵中的潮涨潮落,只有人们心中的欢喜一直高涨,没有退过。就连当地馋嘴的孩童,都欢天喜地,为落了满地的糖果而雀跃不已,好一场世、出世间的盛事!
          也许那不是一只只托钵的手吧,是一朵朵将我们托出轮回大海的莲,以乞求的姿态,无争的情怀,将我们推向涅磐妙境。献供的人们应该反过来感念,噶玛巴为我们开拓的殊胜福田,以大悲水浇灌菩提种,在成觉的道上,次第开放。
