二一０ 虛 榮
大師時常提醒弟子，人的聖德，如同美貌一般，是渾然天成而不自覺的。他喜歡引用下面的詩句：
玫瑰，它適時綻放。
無緣無由；
也無意妝扮，
為贏得我的誇讚。
他又引用諺語：「當人認清自己不過爾爾，方堪稱為聖。」
VANITY
The Master frequently reminded his disciples that holiness, like beauty, is only
genuine when unselfconscious. He loved to quote the verse:
She blooms because she blooms,
the Rose:
Does not ask why.
nor does she preen herself
to catch my eye.
And the saying, “A saint is a saint until he knows that he is one.”
