一四五 修 練
弟子很想知道大師每天早上在花園中究竟在修練何種默觀法門。大師說：「若我仔細地瞧，我會看到叢叢玫瑰的綻放。」
「為什麼非要仔細瞧，才能看見玫瑰呢？」他們問道。
「以免我所看到的，不是叢叢玫瑰，而是腦子裏存有的印象而已。」大師說。
DISCIPLINE
To the disciples who wanted to know what sort of meditation he practised each
morning in the garden the Master said, “When I look carefully I see the rose bush in full
bloom.”
“Why would one have to look carefully to see the rose bush?” they asked.
Alt of them knew.
Then he said. “Put it into words.”
“Lest one see, not the rose bush.” said the Master, “But one’s preconception of it.”
All of them were silent.
