只缘身在此山中

一四八 只缘身在此山中

有一座颇具声誉的大学,校长深信大师已臻于神秘境界,想要聘任他为神学院院长。

他向大师的首座弟子提出这项计划。这位弟子说:「大师注重的是使人开悟,而不在于解释悟境。」

「这并不妨碍他成为神学院院长啊!」
「就好像让一个大象做动物学院的院长一样,怎能说没有妨碍?」

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.”
