八０ 伦 理
弟子们常常热中探讨对与错的问题。有时答案很明显，有时却擧棋不定。
如果大师凑巧在场，他通常都不表明立场。
一次，大师面对这样的挑战：「如果我杀了一个正想谋害我的人，是对还是错？」
他说：「我怎么知道？」
弟子诧异不已：「那么我们怎能分辨对或错？」
大师说：「当你生时，能死于自我，且彻底地死去。然后随心所欲地去做，一定是对的。」
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.”
