自甘貧賤

 一四二 自甘貧賤

大師向一位來自遙遠異鄉的弟子問道:「你究竟在尋找什麼?」

「明心見性。」

「你自家已擁有一座寶庫,為什麼却跑到外地尋寶?」


「我的寶庫在哪兒?」


「就是這自你心內揚起的渴求之心。」

這位弟子當下卽開悟了。在往後的歲月裏,他常向朋友說:「開啟你自己的寶庫,享用你的寶藏。」

IMPOVERISHMENT

When a disciple came from a far-away country, the Master asked, “What are you
seeking?”

“Enlightenment.”

“You have your own treasure house. Why do you search outside?”

“Where is my treasure house?”

“This seeking that has come upon you.”

At that moment the disciple was enlightened. Years later he would say to his friends,
“Open your own treasure house and enjoy your treasures.”
