《百喻经》简介
Brief Introduction To The Sūtra Of A Hundred Parables

After studying the Sūtra Treasury (经藏), having selected those deemed as the most important parables, the Sūtra Of A Hundred Parables《百喻经》was compiled by the Elder Saṅghasena (尊者僧伽斯) in Central India, with them later translated to Chinese by Xiāoqí Dynasty’s Indian Tripiṭaka Dharma Master Guṇavṛddhī (萧齐天竺三藏求那毗地) in 492 C.E. This unique sūtra is thus a colourful collection of significant parables from many other sutras. Below lists some special ‘paradoxical’ features of these parables.

[1] They are seemingly simple, yet with complex morals.
[2] They are about common situations, yet with unique details.
[3] They are with many lighthearted scenarios, yet with serious implications.
[4] They are as if for children, yet applicable to grown-ups too.

[5] They are comedic and satirical, yet also tragic and ironical.
[6] They are concise, yet incisive.
[7] They are entertaining, yet enlightening.
[8] They are as if exaggerated for effect, yet with the equivalent in real life.

[9] They are plain, yet vivid.
[10] They are for quick lessons, yet with lasting effects.
[11] They are with emotional appeal, yet with philosophical impact.
[12] They are about others, yet also about ourselves.

Although originally meant for instructing those new to the Buddha’s teachings, they also serve as reminders for long-time practitioners on the classic spiritual pitfalls to avoid. Containing perhaps the greatest concentration of Buddhist humour, the parables are easily digested because they seem to be about the foolish ‘others.’

Yet, they are exactly laughable because we can relate to them to some extent too, seeing facets of ourselves in them. These stories are not mere tales and fables after all — they are about you and me, for you and me. May the foolish illuminate us, by reminding us how to not be like them; to be wiser instead!

Three Explanations With Two Recommendations

There are usually three explanations on why there are 98 parables instead of 100 in the Sūtra Of A Hundred Parables《百喻经》. [a] The first explanation is that they were rounded up to be 100 for the convenience of naming and remembering. [b] The second explanation is that the Introduction (引言) before the first parable and the Concluding Remarks (结语) after the last parable can be counted as the two ‘missing’ parables too. [c] The third explanation is that somehow, there were two parables lost in the sands of time. In any case, the following are two very appropriate ‘bonus’ parables to share, for those who would like to learn more, and to ‘fill the gap’ present, if perceived.

[i] The first is the Sūtra In Which The Buddha Speaks Of Analogies《佛说譬喻经》, which is perhaps one of the most elaborate parables taught by the Buddha. It is recommended to be studied first, before all 98 parables (as Parable #-1), because it sets a universally urgent tone, priming us with the right attitude, with which we should study all other parables. It reminds all to sincerely and diligently take up the challenge of learning and practising the Dharma in time, in the face of ever impending death.

[ii] The second is the Parable Of Two Rivers And The White Path (二河白道喻) from the Commentary On The Contemplation Sūtra In Four Fascicles《观经四帖疏》, which is also a parable loaded with rich meanings, as taught by the Pure Land Tradition’s Second Patriarch Great Master Shàndǎo (净土宗二祖善导大师). It is recommended to be studied last, after all 98 parables (as Parable #+1), because it exhorts all to, as a most skilful follow-up, sincerely and diligently take up the task of learning and practising the Pure Land teachings in time, also in the face of ever impending death.

After all, it is with reaching of the Pure Land that all of the Dharma learnt and practised will be remembered, for most swiftly expediting progress to Buddhahood, without any spiritual backsliding. If neither reaching enlightenment nor Pure Land by the end of this life, all learnt and practised, including these 100 parables will be forgotten in the next life. With this recurring confusion from separation (from previous lives) by death (隔阴之迷), is this not why we are still trapped in the cycle of birth and death in this deepening Dharma-Ending Age (末法时期)?
