二一六 天 才
有位作家来到寺院，想写一本关于大师的书。
「人们说你是个天才，是吗？」他问。
「可以这么说。」大师毫无愧色。
「什么禀赋使你成为天才？」
「认识的能力。」
「认识什么？」
「茧中之蝶，卵中之鹰，以及人人皆具佛性。」
GENIUS
A writer arrived at the monastery to write a book about the Master.
“People say you are a genius. Are you?” he asked.
“You might say so.” said the Master, none too modestly.
“And what makes one a genius?” “The ability to recognize.” “Recognize what?”
“The butterfly in a caterpillar: the eagle in an egg; the saint in a selfish human being.”
