整部《楞嚴經》就是為了講給阿難聽的，為了教導他。因為當時，他被一個女人誘惑，又中了某種咒術。根本不需要下什麼咒。當男孩遇到女孩時，根本不用什麼咒。誰知道到底是誰在對誰施咒？根本不需要什麼咒，只要稍微拋個媚眼，就完了。尤其是外面那些女人真的很懂怎麼打扮，那就是她們的專長。根本不需要什麼咒。哪裡還有什麼咒要像這樣到處施呢。

阿難有點…可以說非常疏忽。不，不是疏忽，是粗心。不小心，馬虎。阿難在持戒方面非常馬虎。例如，佛陀教導不可以觸碰女人或女孩。不可以直視異性的眼睛。「如果你想守好一個修行人的本分，絕對不要直視女人的眼睛。所以當你看到漂亮的女人時，要保持適當距離。不要找藉口靠近。」但他好像還是找藉口靠近了。甚至假裝去討水喝之類的。而那個女人不只給他水，她給的比那更多。主動給的。所以他回來時暈頭轉向的，彷彿丟了魂一樣，最後還跟著她一路進了她家。一進去，他突然清醒過來，就向佛陀祈禱。然後佛陀顯現，為他誦念楞嚴咒。根本不需要念任何咒語。他一看到佛陀顯現，就嚇壞了，再也不想喝水什麼的，也不再迷戀任何人了，所以他趕緊跑開了。當他已經進去裡面，就在事情快要發生的時候，他突然感到害怕並開始大聲呼喚佛陀。所以《楞嚴經》或是楞嚴咒，是因為阿難才出現的，就是這個原因。

他非常散漫。他心想：「我是一個修行人，我修得很好。我完全不會受影響。我不會想任何人。對我來說女孩跟男孩一樣。」當我們靠得太近，當我們太不謹慎時，難免就會被那個能量場吸引進去，就是這樣。或者很多時候是過去的業緣。那些過去的業緣就是舊的業力牽連。在過去，你們是夫妻。或者以前，你們對彼此許下承諾。或者也許以前，她迷戀你，而你離開了她，等等之類的。現在她回來了，又來找你了。是啊，就像這樣。

這就是為什麼諸佛和天堂教導我們要小心持戒，否則以後它（業緣）還會再來找你。就算你修行，它還是一樣會來找你，你無處可逃。就是這樣的。並不是說你可以說：「為什麼諸佛和天堂這麼嚴格？我有幾個太太關他什麼事，他為什麼要禁止我？」不是在禁止。但如果我們行為輕率／放縱，造下太多業緣，那麼生生世世我們都會筋疲力竭。這一世五個太太，然後下一世再來五個，那就是十個，懂嗎？然後每次你下來時，如果有十個女人在等著你，那真的是一團糟。你根本沒辦法修行。她們早已經站在門外。五個女人站在屋子裡，五個站在門外。無論你到哪裡，都會撞見她們。到了那時，無論你怎麼哭、怎麼叫，都完全沒有用。

所以如果你不要業障，不要業力的果實，那就不要種下種子。不要種因，就不會有果，就是這樣，就這樣。就只是佛陀的提醒，僅此而已。不要那樣做。別那樣做，不要那樣行事。如果你做了，以後會很累，就是這樣。而如果你想這麼做，那就隨你吧。佛陀才沒閒到一直替你操心。親生孩子也一樣。即使是親生孩子—如果不好，最後也可能被當成繼子女一樣對待。有時一個好的繼子女也會變得像親生孩子一樣。

• 科技、修行力量與戒律的關係⁉️清海無上師開示…

The whole Shurangama Sutra was spoken just for Ananda to hear, to teach Him. Because at that time, He had been seduced by a woman and put under a kind of spell. There’s no need to cast any spell. When a boy meets a girl, there’s no need for spells. Who knows who was casting spells on whom? No need for any spell, just a little winking of the eye and it’s done for. Especially those women out there who really know how to dress up, that’s their profession. No need for any spells. What spells are there to be casting around like that.

⚠️Ananda was kind of… you could say very negligent. No, not negligent. Careless. Not careful. Sloppy. Ananda was very careless in keeping the precepts. For example, the Buddha taught that you must not touch women or girls. You must not look into the eyes of the opposite sex. “If you want to uphold your duties as a spiritual practitioner, never look straight into a woman’s eyes. So when you see a beautiful woman, keep a good distance. Do not seek excuses to approach.” But it seems He still looked for excuses to get close. Even pretending to ask for water and things like that. And that woman didn’t only give water, she gave more than that. Voluntarily. So He came back all dazed, as if He had lost His soul, and ended up following her straight into her house. Once inside, He suddenly snapped out of it and prayed to the Buddha. Then the Buddha appeared and recited the Shurangama Mantra for Him. No need to recite any mantra at all. The moment He saw the Buddha appear, He was terrified, there was no more thinking about water or anything, no more being infatuated with anyone, so He just hurried off. After He was already inside, just when things were about to happen, He suddenly got frightened and started calling out to the Buddha. So the Shurangama Sutra, or the Shurangama Mantra, came about because of Ananda, that’s the reason.

He was very undisciplined. He thought, “I’m a practitioner, I’m doing just fine. I’m not affected at all. I’m not thinking about anyone. To me, girls are the same as boys.” When we get too close, when we’re too careless, we’ll inevitably be drawn in by that energy field, that’s all. Or many times, it’s past karmic connections. Those karmic ties from the past are old karmic bonds. In the past, you were husband and wife. Or in the past, you made promises to each other. Or maybe in the past she was infatuated with you and you left her, and so on and so forth. Now she has returned and is looking for you again. Yeah, like that.

That’s why the Buddhas and Heaven teach us to keep the precepts carefully, otherwise, later on it (the karmic bonds) will come looking for you again. Even if you practice spiritually, it will still come looking for you as usual, there’s nowhere you can escape. That’s how it is. It’s not like you can say, “Why are the Buddhas and Heaven so strict? The number of wives I have is none of His business, why is He forbidding me?” It’s not about forbidding. But if we act carelessly/promiscuously and create too many karmic ties, then life after life we’ll be exhausted. Five wives this life, then five more in the next life, that makes ten, understand? And then every time you come back down, if ten women are waiting for you, that’s really a mess. You won’t be able to practice at all. They’ll already be standing right outside the door. Five women standing inside the house, five standing outside the door. Wherever you go, you’ll run into them. And by then, no matter how much you cry out or wail, it won’t help at all.

So if you don’t want the karma or the karmic fruit, then don’t plant the seed. Don’t plant the cause, and there will be no result, that’s all..…
