八六 無 執
大師本身的生活極其純樸,却從不鄙視他的豪富弟子,門徒們感到有趣。
「成為一個旣富又聖的人,雖寥寥可數,並非不可能。」有一天,大師如是說。
「如何才能達到此境?」
「當金錢對你心靈的影響力,一如竹蔭拂過天井。」
弟子們轉身向庭院望去,竹蔭拂過,却未激起一絲塵埃。
DETACHMENT
It intrigued the disciples that the Master who lived so simply would not condemn his
wealthy followers.
“It is rare but not impossible for someone to be rich and holy.” he said one day.
“How?”
“When money has the effect on his heart that the shadow of that bamboo has on the
courtyard.”
The disciples turned to watch the bamboo’s shadow sweep the courtyard without
stirring a single particle of dust.
