八０ 倫 理
弟子們常常熱中探討對與錯的問題。有時答案很明顯，有時却擧棋不定。
如果大師湊巧在場，他通常都不表明立場。
一次，大師面對這樣的挑戰：「如果我殺了一個正想謀害我的人，是對還是錯？」
他說：「我怎麼知道？」
弟子詫異不已：「那麼我們怎能分辨對或錯？」
大師說：「當你生時，能死於自我，且徹底地死去。然後隨心所欲地去做，一定是對的。」
MORALITY
The disciples would frequently be absorbed in questions of right and wrong.
Sometimes the answer would be evident enough. Sometimes it was elusive.
The Master, if he happened to be present at such discussions, would take no part in
them.
Once he was confronted with this question: “Is it right to kill someone who seeks to
kill me? Or is it wrong?”
He said. “How should I know?”
The shocked disciples answered, “Then how would we tell right from wrong?”
The Master said, “While alive, be dead to yourself, be totally dead-Then act as you
will and your action will be right.”
