第28章 意马莫纵
Our Will is Wild and Unreliable
慎勿与色会。色会即祸生。
Guard yourselves against sensualism, for it surely leads to the path of evil.
Your own will becomes trustworthy only when you have attained Arhatship."

法师讲解：28 意马莫纵
Commentary: Our will is wild and unreliable
It is mentioned that our will is like a wild horse which is unruly, unrestricted, and unreliable because it is keen on chasing the five desires and six media of sensation. To a cultivator, the problems arising from sexuality is the most serious since they are the root of cyclic rebirth.
这里说我们的意念就好像野马一样放纵、难以约束，并不可靠。因为我们的意识心都爱对五欲六尘攀缘。对学道之人来说，五欲当中以色欲过患最为严重，因为那是轮回的根。
Why arhats’ will is considered reliable? It’s because they have overcome the hindrance of afflictions and false tenet of permanent personality, and they will not mistake the body for the true self. They contemplate the body of five skandhas as empty so that there will arise no delusion of conception or delusion of thoughts such as greed, hatred, ignorance, and different kinds of wrong views. Unlike secular people, Arhats will not treat the body as real or commit unwholesome deeds for it.
那阿罗汉的意念为什么可信因为祂们已经破了烦恼障，断除我执，祂们不以这个身体为我，祂们观空五蕴之躯， 不会起贪嗔痴慢疑及种种不正之见的见思惑。所以阿罗汉不会像凡夫那样把这个身体看成是真实的我，且为这个身体而造作种种业。
However, arhats still have attachment to the Dharma; they have yet to break through the delusion of boundless phenomena of the world and the delusion arising from primal ignorance. Therefore their wisdom is not perfected yet. Delusion of boundless phenomena refers to the obstacles which prevent bodhisattvas from relieving sentient beings. To fulfil such a mission, bodhisattvas have to be proficient in boundless number of dharma methods to break through such obstacles. As for the delusion arising from primal ignorance, it is a kind of obstacle which can shadow the truth of the Middle Way such that the true nature of the world cannot be understood. If one can completely break through the delusion arising from primal ignorance, one will attain Buddhahood. However, these two kinds of delusion have yet to be overcome by bodhisattvas, needless to say arhats!
但是阿罗汉还有对法的执著，祂们的尘沙惑及无明惑尚未破除, 所以祂们的智慧並不圆满。所谓尘沙惑就是菩萨化度众生的障碍，要完成这事业，菩萨需要通达无量法门去破除尘沙惑。而无明惑会障蔽中道实相，令人不能明瞭万法的实相，要是无明惑全部断除就成佛了。但菩萨尚且未能破这两种惑，更何况阿罗汉呢！
