中英文小故事：痛苦的根源 有一段时间，弟子感到活得很痛苦，他非常烦恼。 师父把弟子带到一片空旷地带.问：“你抬头看看，看到了什么？” “天空。”弟子答。 “天空够大吧？”师父说，“但我可以用一只手掌遮住整个天空。” 弟子不相信，一只手掌怎么可能遮住整个天空呢？ 于是师父用一只手掌盖住了弟子的双眼，问："你现在看见天空了吗？我不是很容易就用一只手掌遮住了整个天空吗？”继而，师父把话题一转，说：“生活中，一些小痛苦，一些小烦恼和小挫折也像这一只小小的手掌，看上去虽然很小，但如果放不下，总是拉近来看，将它放在眼前，放在心头，它就会像这只手掌一样，遮住你人生的整个晴空。于是，你将错过人生的太阳，错过蓝天、白云和美丽的彩霞。” 弟子终于明白了自己痛苦的根源。 The Root of Suffering For a period of time, the disciple felt his life was so painful that he was very annoyed. The master led the disciple to an open field and asked, “Look up, what can you see?” “The sky,” the disciple answered. “The sky is big enough, isn’t it?” said the master, “But I can cover the whole sky with a palm.” The disciple couldn’t believe, how could a palm cover the whole sky? Then the master covered the disciple’s eyes with a palm and asked, “Can you see the sky now? Isn’t it very easy to cover the whole sky with a palm?" Then, the master changed the topic and said, “In life, some little pains, little troubles or setbacks are also like this little palm. Though they look small, but if you can’t put them down, always pull them close to watch, put them before your eyes and lay them in your mind, they will be like the palm, covering the whole sky of your life, and then you will miss the sun of the life, miss the blue sky, the white clouds and the beauty of the rosy clouds." The disciple finally understood the root of his suffering. |
