二一０ 虚 荣
大师时常提醒弟子，人的圣德，如同美貌一般，是浑然天成而不自觉的。他喜欢引用下面的诗句：
玫瑰，它适时绽放。
无缘无由；
也无意妆扮，
为赢得我的夸赞。
他又引用谚语：「当人认清自己不过尔尔，方堪称为圣。」
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.”
