一三三 服 务
大家都知道大师一向偏爱行动甚于退隐。但大师所强调的却是「悟境中」的行动。
弟子们探问「悟境」是何意，它是否即指「动机纯正」？
「绝不是。」大师道：「试想，当一只猴子把一尾鱼从溪流中救出来时，牠的动机何等纯正。」
SERVICE
The Master was known to favour action over withdrawal. But he always insisted on
“enlightened” action.
The disciples wanted to kn ow what “enlightened” meant. Did it mean “right-
intentioned”?
“Oh no.” said the Master, “Think how right-intentioned the monkey is when he lifts a
fish from the river to save it from a watery grave.”
