无言之教

一二六 无言之教

「你的师父传授你们什么?」一位访客前来探问。

「什么也没传。」

「那么他为什么还给这许多开示?」

「他只点出方向,却不传什么。」

这位访客听了,百思莫解。于是此徒为他解析一番:「如果大师传授我们某事,则我们就应努力去信解这些内容。但大师根本不在意我们信什么--他只关心我们真正认识了多少。」

NON - INSTRUCTION

“What does your Master teach?” asked a visitor.

“Nothing,” said the disciple.

“Then why does he give discourses?”

“He only points the way he teaches nothing.”

The visitor couldn’t make sense out of this, so the disciple made it clearer. “If the
Master were to teach we would make beliefs out of his teachings. The Master is not
concerned with what we believe — only with what we see.”
