一０八 賭 注
大師談論的主題是「生命」。
一天，他提到一位飛行員的經歷。這位飛行員在第二次世界大戰期間專門載運工人由中國到緬甸的叢林中修路。這段航行漫長又單調，所以工人就聚在一起賭牌，由於他們都是一貧如洗，無錢可賭，於是就用自己的生命做賭注－－輸家應不帶降落傘，跳出飛機外。
「多麼可怕的事！」弟子聽了驚嚇萬分。
「確實可怕。」大師說：「但這種賭法才過癮。」
當這一天卽將消逝，大師說：「當你用自己的生命做賭注時，你才是道道地地的活過。」
ADVENTURE
The theme of the Master’s talk was Life.
One day he told of meeting a pilot who flew labourers from China into Burma during
World War II to work on jungle roads. The flight was long and boring so the labourers
would take to gambling. Since they had no money to gamble with, they gambled with
their lives — the loser jumped out of the plane without a parachute!
“How terrible!” said the horrified disciple?
“True.” said the Master.” But it made the game exciting.”
Later in the day he said. “You never live so fully as when you gamble with your
lives.”
