一二八 本来面目
一天，大师问：「你们认为，什么是最重要的宗教课题？」
他得到不少答案：
「天主存在吗？」
「天主是谁？」
「与天主沟通的途径？」
「人死后真得有永恒的生命吗？」
大师却说：「都不是，最重要的问题是：『我是谁？』」
直到有一天，弟子们在座听见大师与一位传道者的对话，才恍然了悟那番言论的深义：
大师：「那么，据你所说：你死后，你的灵魂会升天？」
传道者：「是的。」
大师：「你的身体葬在坟墓里？」
传道者：「是的。」
大师：「朋友，容我问一声：那么你在那里？」

One day the Master asked, “What, in your opinion, is the most important of all
religious questions?”
He got many answers: “Does God exist?” “Who is God?” “What is the path to God?”
“Is there a life after death?”
“No,” said the Master, “The most important question is: “Who am I?”
The disciples got some idea of what he was hinting at when they overheard him
talking to a preacher:
Master: “So then, according to you, when you die your soul will be in heaven?”
Preacher: “Yes.”
Master: “And your body will be in the grave?”
Preacher: “Yes.”
Master: “And where, may I ask, will you be?”
