- 八憍
- The eight kinds of pride, or arrogance, resulting in domineering: because of strength; of clan, or name; of wealth; of independence, or position; of years, or age; of cleverness, or wisdom; of good or charitable deeds; of good looks. Of these, eight birds are named as types: [lang id =1028]鴟梟 two kinds of owl, eagle, vulture, crow, magpie, pigeon, wagtail.* * *八種的憍慢。 憍慢是恃才傲物的意思, 因其氣慨好像鳥類的凌高視下, 故文殊問經配八憍於八種之鳥: 一、 盛壯憍, 如鴟鳥。 二、 姓憍, 如梟鳥。 三、 富憍, 如鵰鳥。 四、 自在憍, 如鷲鳥。 五、 壽命憍、 如烏鳥。 六、 聰明憍, 如鵲鳥。 七、 行善憍, 如鳩鳥。 八、 色憍, 如鴿鳥。
