18.22

時摩偷羅國有一男子。於優波笈多所。離俗出家。為貪食故不能得道。笈多語言。我明日當與汝食。至時以一器盛滿鉢糜。又一空器并置其前。而語之言。汝可取食令此器空。又言。待冷稍稍食之。而此比丘貪心厚重。便吹使冷。白和上言。已冷乃併食之。笈多曰。乳糜雖冷。汝心故熱。復應冷之。當以不淨觀為水。除此心熱。若見飲食如服藥想。比丘食竟。即便吐出。滿於空器。笈多曰。汝可更食。比丘曰。不淨何可復食。又言。汝觀一切法猶如涕吐。因為說法。比丘精進思惟觀察。得阿羅漢果(出阿育王經第九卷)。

At that time, in the country of Mathurā, there was a man who left the secular life and went forth under Upagupta. Because of his greed for food, he could not attain the path. Upagupta said to him: 'Tomorrow I will give you food.' When the time arrived, he filled a bowl with milk gruel in one vessel, and also placed an empty vessel beside it before him, saying to him: 'You may take this and eat until this vessel is empty.' He also said: 'Wait until it is cold and eat it gradually.' But this monk's greed was heavy, so he blew on it to cool it, and said to the upādhyāya: 'It is already cold!' and gulped it all down at once. Upagupta said: 'Although the milk gruel is cold, your mind is still hot. You must cool it again. You should take the meditation on impurity as water to remove this heat of the mind, and view food and drink as if taking medicine.' When the monk finished eating, he immediately vomited it out, filling the empty vessel. Upagupta said: 'You may eat it again.' The monk said: 'How could one eat what is impure again?' Upagupta also said: 'You should view all dharmas just like mucus and vomit.' He then explained the Dharma for him. The monk diligently contemplated and observed, and attained the fruit of an arhat.
