〖刺〗

一切的事物都只是事物，它們不會給任何人帶來痛苦。例如一根非常銳利的刺，它會給你帶來痛苦嗎？不，它只是一根刺，它不會主動去遭惹任何人，但是，如果你去站在它上面，你就痛苦了。為什麼會痛苦呢？因為你的腳踩上了刺。刺只管它自己的事，它不會傷害任何人，會痛，是我們自己一手造成的。色、受、想、行、識……，世上的一切事物都只是事物，是我們自己去遭惹它們。如果我們攻擊它們，它們會反擊回來；如果不去干擾它們，它們也不會來干擾任何人。只有醉漢才會去找它們的麻煩。

Thorn

All things are just as they are. They don't cause suffering to anybody. It's just like a thorn, a really sharp thorn. Does it make you suffer? No, it's just a thorn. It doesn't bother anybody. But if you go and stand on it, you'll suffer. Why is there suffering? Because you stepped on the thorn. The thorn is just minding its own business. It doesn't harm anybody. It's because of we ourselves that there's pain. Form, feeling, perception, volition, consciousness . . . all the things in this world are simply as they are. It's we who pick fights with them. And if we hit them, they hit us back. IF they're left alone, they won't bother anybody. Only the drunkard gives them trouble.
