自我空虛

一六六 自我空虛

有個弟子為明心見性鍥而不捨,終致病倒床榻。大師說:「光明可以捕捉,但不是用手;見性也可以獲得,但不是用你的蠻力。」

弟子大惑不解:「你不是教我們應專致於自我空虛之道嗎?我正是照你的指示做啊!」

「所以你就拚着老命地空虛自己?!」大師大笑不止。

DISAPPEARANCE

To a disciple who strained after enlightenment till he became physically weak, the
Master said, “A ray of light can be grasped — but not with your hands. Enlightenment can
be attained — but not by your efforts.”

The puzzled disciple said. “But did you not tell me to strive to become empty? That is
what I am attempting to do.”

“So now you are full of effort to be empty!” said the Master through his laughter.
