赌 注

一0八 赌 注

大师谈论的主题是「生命」。

一天,他提到一位飞行员的经历。这位飞行员在第二次世界大战期间专门载运工人由中国到缅甸的丛林中修路。这段航行漫长又单调,所以工人就聚在一起赌牌,由于他们都是一贫如洗,无钱可赌,于是就用自己的生命做赌注--输家应不带降落伞,跳出飞机外。

「多么可怕的事!」弟子听了惊吓万分。

「确实可怕。」大师说:「但这种赌法才过瘾。」

当这一天即将消逝,大师说:「当你用自己的生命做赌注时,你才是道道地地的活过。」

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.”
