启 示

一二0 启 示

邻近寺院的僧侣们起内哄,故前来大师处求请解纷。他们听说大师有一绝招,能使任何团体保持和谐及互爱。

于是大师趁此机会揭示这个祕诀:「不论何时,当你和他人共处,或念及他人时,一定向自己说:我即将死去,这人也快死了。然后利用最后的机会去体会一下自己口中之言的真实性。如果在座的每一位都愿意修练这个方法,人际的尖酸刻薄就会消失,和谐慈悲自然兴起。」

大师说完这番话,就离去了。

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.
