虛 靜

一三二 虛 靜


寺院裏訪客絡繹不絕,難免人聲喧擾,破壞了寺院的寧靜。

弟子們為此悶悶不樂,大師仍然自得其樂,似無視於寧靜或喧嘩。

有一天,他告訴那羣滿腹牢騷的弟子:「寧靜並不是寂靜無聲,而是無我之境。」

EMPTINESS

Sometimes there would be a rush of noisy visitors and the silence of the monastery
would be shattered.

This would upset the disciples; not the Master who seemed just as content with the
noise as with the silence.

To his protesting disciples he said one day, “Silence is not the absence of sound, but
the absence of self.”
