虚 静

一三二 虚 静


寺院里访客络绎不绝,难免人声喧扰,破坏了寺院的宁静。

弟子们为此闷闷不乐,大师仍然自得其乐,似无视于宁静或喧哗。

有一天,他告诉那羣满腹牢骚的弟子:「宁静并不是寂静无声,而是无我之境。」

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.”
