〖小草〗

 你必須沉思，其目的是為了尋求平靜。一般人通常所指的平靜只是心的平定，而非連雜染也平定下來。雜染只是暫時地被壓制著，如同小草被石頭壓住一樣。如果你把石頭移開，小草將在極短的時間里再次茂盛起來。其實，小草並沒有死去，只是暫被壓迫著而已。

 禪坐中也是一樣。雖然心很平靜，但是，雜染並沒有完全靜下來。因此，「三摩地」(定)並不可靠，若要尋得真正的平靜，必定要增長你的智慧才行。「三摩地」是一種的平靜，可是它就像石頭壓住小草，不過只是暫時的平靜罷了。智慧的平靜是將大石放下就不去移動它。如此一來，小草永遠也不可能再重生。這就是真實的寧靜，它們皆來自于智慧。

Grass

You must contemplate in order to find peace. What people usually mean whenever they say peace is only the calming down of the mind and not the calming down of the defilements. The defilements are simply being temporarily subdued, just like grass being covered by a stone. If you take the stone away, the grass will grow back again in a short time. The grass hadn't really died; it was just being suppressed. It's the same when sitting in meditation. The mind is calm, but the defilements are not really calm. Therefore samadhi is not a sure thing. To find real peace you must develop wisdom. Samadhi is one kind of peace, like the stone covering the grass. This is only a temporary peace. The peace of wisdom is like putting the stone down and just leaving it there. In this way the grass can't possibly grow back again. This is real peace, the calming of the defilements, the sure peace that results from wisdom.
