一七七 名 相
大师对时髦的新发明，童心未泯地好奇不已。当他看到一个可以放入口袋的迷你计算机，情不自禁地赞叹一番。
过后，他说出相当中肯的一句话：「好像许多人的口袋里都有这个迷你计算机，可是口袋里却没有多少钱值得计算。」
一周之后，有位访客来请教授徒之道。他说：「让他们分清本末。最好是先攒足够的钱，然后才计数它；最好是先有具体的经验，再去设立名相解说。」
DEFINITIONS
The Master had a childlike fascination for modern inventions. He could not get over
his amazement at the pocket calculator when he saw one.
Later he said, good-naturedly. “A lot of people seem to have those little pocket
calculators, but nothing in their pockets worth calculating!”
Weeks later when a visitor asked him what he taught his disciples, he said, “To get
their priorities right: better have the money than calculate it: better have the experience
than define it.”
