一四五 修 练
弟子很想知道大师每天早上在花园中究竟在修练何种默观法门。大师说：「若我仔细地瞧，我会看到丛丛玫瑰的绽放。」
「为什么非要仔细瞧，才能看见玫瑰呢？」他们问道。
「以免我所看到的，不是丛丛玫瑰，而是脑子里存有的印象而已。」大师说。
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.
