在東晉時期有一位劍僧叫做道生,道生自幼是隨僧人竺法汰出家學佛的,但他的一身劍術卻是因為自己是劍俠吳王闔閭的轉世,劍術沒有完全遺忘而得來的,所以他並非從學佛悟得飛劍的那種劍僧,只是剛巧同為劍俠並為僧人而已。327Please respect copyright.PENANAVFuCL01vMe
327Please respect copyright.PENANAS3J84D1ueG
因為他能身劍合一,又時常擲劍西方研習經藏,是故早在諸多經典流傳漢譯之前,他便知曉內容,只是礙於劍俠身份不願表露,就難以向俗家的學佛人說明了。327Please respect copyright.PENANAqCNS8F6S2A
327Please respect copyright.PENANAQTaE6jHKjh
例如眾生皆可以成佛這個道理,因為記載此主張的《大般涅槃經》仍未被完整漢譯,所以在當時漢傳佛教中仍是不被主流認同的。327Please respect copyright.PENANAAYqRwmoNCC

道生曾在虎丘山向世人宣講《涅槃經》之真義,山中有塊供人聚坐聽講之大石,叫做千人石,石台雖闊,但也坐不下千人,其實吳王闔閭當年就好在山中用人頸或石頭試劍,千具無頭肉身曾堆疊此處,血跡入石三分,八九百年後仍然見紅,人們才會時常記著千人石的典故。327Please respect copyright.PENANAngn6jKOTFs
327Please respect copyright.PENANAGLNbtivvpC
本來有為數不少的學佛人都對道生講經內容感到好奇,他們自然就聚集到千人石上聽講,後來因為道生在人前屢次強調眾生成為佛的潛力,但又無憑無據難以服眾,聽客逐漸散去,道生這時才留意到,原來石台上一直有隻鬼在徘徊,他正是古時被闔閭借頸來試劍的千位慘死人合而為一的化身,或許是因為千個人滲進石隙中的血色都混了在一起,解不開。327Please respect copyright.PENANAEIWXaR8iUd
327Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3QEcaViCb
道生見鬼魂時而飄散時而凝聚,但每當他講經的時候都會側耳傾聽,既然眾生皆可以成佛,那麼度化人和鬼都是同樣的,道生抱住這樣的心態,身劍合一搬來了兩顆石疊起,上小下大,有頭有身,方便鬼魂可以有個身體寄存固定,專心聽經。327Please respect copyright.PENANAQuRli8yx0z
327Please respect copyright.PENANALaokj5cBjm
直到講經完畢,道生再開口問石中冤鬼是否認同自己所說。石頭沒有喉嚨,固然不能答人話,但連鬼魂的本體也沒有任何表示,道生見他眼神空洞,不應不答,似乎志不在聽經,忽然福至心靈,想到正是自己前世殺害了這些無辜人,至今八九百年仍不肯投胎,說不定其實是想報仇,所以才會一直對講經的道生如此在意。327Please respect copyright.PENANA2hgeH6WgX8
327Please respect copyright.PENANA5pP7DkSeSE
於是乎道生便指向不遠處相傳安葬了吳王闔閭的水池,再對石頭道:「我的前世闔閭斬過你們,你們也註定要我被斬了才能解脫。327Please respect copyright.PENANAxl6Owy6eG6
327Please respect copyright.PENANAPGewNR6mYo
但斬人是闔閭,被斬是道生,道生不記仇也好,下世若然相見,那時的我就算不記得,都必定再回敬你的一斬,正是冤冤相報無了時。327Please respect copyright.PENANA0E2QvoWaWu
327Please respect copyright.PENANAsVFYBj5jqv
如今池裡頭就插住那把我前世用來殺生的劍之一,不如我在你眼前入水剃頭,由道生斬道生,唯望此作法能幫你早日解怨,但你亦要應許我出家成僧,未知你同意嗎?」327Please respect copyright.PENANAZuSu3YEZUl
327Please respect copyright.PENANAHcm4I4UDQA
沒想到此話一出,疊石竟然輕輕一點。327Please respect copyright.PENANA8ldjsjg8Qs
327Please respect copyright.PENANAxAxgudX5PS
道生見狀便走入水池中,把頸迎劍一抹,身首異處。327Please respect copyright.PENANAWkHotTigIC
327Please respect copyright.PENANAloLs1iDBur
而點頭石在水邊的倒影,則變成了道生的模樣,再從水中走出個實體來,承繼了道生的宏法的願望,後來《大般涅槃經》終於譯成,入面正正如此提到:327Please respect copyright.PENANAuo12mAg5sG
327Please respect copyright.PENANA07JmbZj2W6
「我常宣說一切眾生悉有佛性,乃至一闡提等亦有佛性。一闡提等無有善法,佛性亦善,以未來有故,一闡提等悉有佛性。何以故?一闡提等定當得成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提故。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAKTdK0wG9um
327Please respect copyright.PENANAmckCWq6L8g
而生公說法,頑石點頭的典故,更成為了千古佳話。327Please respect copyright.PENANA4OHUPo5Qt6
327Please respect copyright.PENANAfM5onrWKCo
眾生當然不知上山說法點頑石的是生公,落山說法點眾生的生公卻變了頑石。327Please respect copyright.PENANAyue7p5RPed
327Please respect copyright.PENANAOTDX0Mw8jV
其實真道生也不知道,死一個道生,不過是解了一尊頑石的恨,還有九百九十九個人的恨,在假道生圓寂之後,還搶住要在往後的轉世中繼續報仇。327Please respect copyright.PENANA07tAGp23oP

我知道Mandy是道生,六條魚都是道生,至於邊個真,邊個假,剃刀沒有話我知,只是叫我放低放低,我來到理髮舖前,自問哪放得低,放得低,我都不會來理髮舖了。327Please respect copyright.PENANATP3ZEVjY29
