一七五 压 力
大师常是随着个人成长的步调,任其自然发展,他从不在旁催迫。他曾说过这样的比喻:
有个人看见一只蝴蝶正在破茧而出,他捺不住性子,所以轻轻地向茧吹气,这股暖气确实加速了出茧的过程,可是出来的不是蝴蝶,而是有一双零乱翅膀的怪蛾。」
大师总结一句:「我们不应为别人催生,否则我们会造成流产的悲剧。」
OPPRESSION
The Master always left you to grow at your own pace. He was never known to “push”.
He explained this with the following parable:
A man once saw a butterfly struggling to emerge from its cocoon, too slowly for his
taste, so he began to blow on it gently. The warmth of his breath speeded up the process
all right. But what emerged was not a butterfly but a creature with mangled wings.
“In growth.” the Master concluded, “you cannot speed the process up. All you can do
is abort it.”
