九一 改 變
一位歷史學家來訪，他存心來找大師辯論。
「我們的努力將改變人類的歷史，不是嗎？」他如此質詢。
「是的。」大師說。
「人為的努力已改變了我們的地球，不是嗎？」
「不錯！」大師說。
「那麼你為什麼還說：人為的努力無法挽囘大局？」
大師說：「因為，風縱然停止了，樹葉還是照常落下。」
CHANGE
The visiting historian was disposed to be argumentative.
“Do not our efforts change the course of human history?” he demanded.
“Oh yes, they do.” said the Master.
“And have not our human labours changed the earth?”
“They certainly have.” said the Master.
“Then why do you teach that human effort is of little consequence?”
Said the Master, “Because when the wind subsides, the leaves still fall.”
