《165》我們必須學習去放下有為法，並且試著不去反抗或抵抗。然而，我們卻去懇求它們來順從我們的欲求。我們尋求各種方法安排它們或跟他們談條件。如果身體生病，處于病痛當中，我們會不希望如此，所以便去找種種的經典來誦；我們不希望身體處于病痛中，而希望控制它。這些經典于是成為一些神秘的典禮儀式，使我們更陷于執著之中。這都是因為我們誦這些經典，為的只是延壽罷了，事實上，佛陀給予我們這些教導，為的是要協助我們認識身體的真相，使我們能夠放下和舍棄我們的身體，可是，到最後，我們誦經卻增加了我們的愚痴。

We must learn to let go of conditions and not try to oppose or resist them. And yet we plead with them to comply with our wishes. We look for all sorts of means to organize them or make a deal with them. If the body gets sick and is in pain, we don』t want it to be so, so we look for various suttas to chant. We don』t want to control it. These suttas become some form of mystical ceremony, getting us even more entangled in clinging. This is because we chant them in order to ward off illness, to prolong life and so on. Actually The Buddha gave us these teachings in order to help us know the truth of the body, so that we can let go and give up our longings, but we end up chanting them to increase our delusion.
