只緣身在此山中

一四八 只緣身在此山中

有一座頗具聲譽的大學,校長深信大師已臻於神秘境界,想要聘任他為神學院院長。

他向大師的首座弟子提出這項計劃。這位弟子說:「大師注重的是使人開悟,而不在於解釋悟境。」

「這並不妨礙他成為神學院院長啊!」
「就好像讓一個大象做動物學院的院長一樣,怎能說沒有妨礙?」

EXPERIENCE

The President of a prestigious university, convinced of the Master’s mystical
experience, wanted to make him head of the Theology Department,

He approached the chief disciple with this proposal. The disciple said, “The Master
emphasizes being enlightened not teaching enlightenment.”

“Would that prevent him from being head of the Department of Theology.”

“As much as it would prevent an elephant from being head of the Department of
Zoology.”
