一一三 自 然
一位演說家口沫橫飛地向人們解釋：當前世界只需要由龐大的軍備經費中撥出極小的一部分，就能解決所有人類的生活問題。
弟子們聽了這番演說後的第一個反應就是：「人類怎麼會變得如此愚蠢？」
大師面色凝重地說：「因為人們學會了讀白紙黑字，而失去了閱讀無字天書的藝術。」
「什麼是無字天書，請給我們一個實例。」
但大師不給實例。
一天，大師終於拗不過他們的追問，便說：「鳥鳴蟲噪都在宣告真理；花紅草綠，都在為我們指示人生之道：好好地聽，好好地看，這才是真正的學習之道。」
NATURE
A lecturer explained how a fraction of the enormous sums spent on arms in the
modem world would solve all the material problems of every member of the human race.
The inevitable reaction of the disciples after the lecture was, “But why are human
beings so stupid?”
“Because,” said the Master solemnly, “people have learnt to read printed books. They
have forgotten the art of reading unprinted ones.”
“Give us an example of an unprinted book.” But the Master wouldn’t give one.
One day in response to their persistence, he said: “The songs of birds, the sounds of
insects are all trumpeting forth the Truth. The grasses and the flowers are all pointing out
the Way. Listen! Look! That is the way to read!”
