一位年轻但是热诚的禅宗学生走近他的老师，向禅宗大师询问：“如果我非常努力和勤奋地学习，那么要花多少时间能够找到禅的真谛?” 大师考虑片刻，然后回答:“十年。” 学生说：“那么如果我非常非常努力地学习，而且要学得快一点儿又怎么样呢？需要多久？” 大师答曰：“这样啊，二十年。” “不过,如果我真的、真的努力学习呢，那么需要多久? ”学生又问。 “三十年。”大师这样回答。 “可是我不明白，”失望的学生说，“每一次我说自己更努力地学习，你却说将会花费更长的时间。为什么呢?” 大师回答道：“当你用一只眼睛盯着目标时，你就只剩下一只眼看着脚下的路了。” Time to Learn A young but earnest Zen student approached his teacher, and asked the Zen Master：“If I work very hard and diligently,how long will it take for me to find Zen?” The Master thought about this,then replied,“Ten years. ’， The student then said，“ But what if I work very，very hard and really apply my- self to leam fast——How long then?” “But,if I really,really work at it,how long then?”asked the student. “ Thirty years，” replied the Master. “ But,I do not understand,’’said the disappointed student.“ At each time that I say will work harder, you say it will take me longer. why do you say that?” Replied the Master,“ When you have one eye on the goal,you only have one eye on the path. ” |
