佛祖教人飲陳尿藥  曾焯文博士著

根據十誦律、四分律、得法大經、摩訶僧祇律等佛經的各種漢譯本,佛祖教比丘病時服陳棄藥/腐爛藥/腐尿水,名稱頗為恐怖,險些令人思疑佛祖有心靠害弟子。查實陳棄藥/腐爛藥/腐尿水巴利文原作pūti-mutta-bhesajja,直譯臭尿藥,現代佛學家Khematto Bhikkhu、阿姜蘇嘉多禪師、Buddha-Vacana Org. 均詮釋為fermented urine medicine(醱酵尿藥),Robert Thurman則詮釋為陳舊尿藥。新舊譯共通之處在於陳舊的尿會發酵,產生餲(aat3)味,相當攻鼻,但可當藥用。換言之,二千五百年前,佛祖經已教授尿療法。(未完待續)
