《183》有人曾請阿姜 查談一談開悟，以及他是否能描述他自己的領悟？再每個人都很急切地等待要聽他回答的情況下，他說：「覺悟並不難了解，只要拿一根香焦放入你的嘴中，如此一來，你就會知道它的味道了。你必須修行方能經驗覺悟，而且要不屈不撓。如果覺悟很容易的話，每個人都在做了。我八歲就開始進出寺院，出家也有四十多年了，但是你們竟想打坐個一、兩晚就證得涅槃！這可不是坐下來——『噓』的一聲就開悟了！知道吧！這種事是不能抓一個人來在你頭上吹一下，就使你開悟的。」

Someone once asked Ajahn Chah to talk about enlightenment; could he describe his own enlightenment? With everyone eagerly waiting to hear his answer, he said, "Enlightenment isn』t hatd to understand. Just take a banana and put it into your mouth, then you will know what it tastes like. You have to practice to experience realization, and you have to persevere. If it were so easy to become enlightened, everyone would be doing it. I started going to the temple when I was eight years old, and I have been a monk for over forty years. But you want to meditate for a night or two and go straight to Nibbana. You don』t just sit down and - zip! - there you are, you know. You can』t get someone to blow on your head and make you enlightened either.
