言語道斷

一三0 言語道斷

「我們用來描述天主的每一個字或每幅圖像,常扭曲了真相。」


「那麼我們該如何談論天主?」


「藉沉默來表達。」


「那你為什麼還用言語?」

大師聞此,開懷大笑地說:「我說話時,千萬不能注意我的言詞。孩子,應注意聆聽那無言的寂靜啊!」

COMPREHENSION

“Every word, every image used for God is a distortion more than a description.”

“Then how does one speak of God?”

“Through silence.”

“Why then do you speak in words?”

At that the Master laughed uproariously. He said. “When I speak, you mustn’t listen to
the words, my dear. Listen to the silence.”
