啟 示

一二0 啟 示

鄰近寺院的僧侶們起內鬨,故前來大師處求請解紛。他們聽說大師有一絕招,能使任何團體保持和諧及互愛。

於是大師趁此機會揭示這個祕訣:「不論何時,當你和他人共處,或念及他人時,一定向自己說:我卽將死去,這人也快死了。然後利用最後的機會去體會一下自己口中之言的真實性。如果在座的每一位都願意修練這個方法,人際的尖酸刻薄就會消失,和諧慈悲自然興起。」

大師說完這番話,就離去了。

REVELATION

The monks of a neighbouring monastery asked the Master’s help in a quarrel that had
arisen among them. They had heard the Master say he had a technique that was
guaranteed to bring love and harmony to any group.

On this occasion he revealed it: “Any time you are with anyone or think of anyone you
must say to yourself I am dying and this person too is dying, attempting the while to
experience the truth of the words you are saying. If every one of you agrees to practise
this, bitterness will die out, harmony will arise.”

Having said that, he was gone.
