一六六 自我空虚
有个弟子为明心见性锲而不舍,终致病倒床榻。大师说:「光明可以捕捉,但不是用手;见性也可以获得,但不是用你的蛮力。」
弟子大惑不解:「你不是教我们应专致于自我空虚之道吗?我正是照你的指示做啊!」
「所以你就拼着老命地空虚自己?!」大师大笑不止。
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.
