No Ajahn Chah《191》

《191》佛陀教導我們要舍棄一切惡行而長養戒德,這才是「正道」。這樣的教導就好像佛陀把我們撿起來,放到「道」的起點一樣,到了道上之後,是否要前進都是我們自己的事。佛陀的職責只到此為止,他告訴我們什麼是對的方法而什麼不是。這樣就夠了,其他的就由我們自己決定了。

The Buddha taught us to give up all forms of evil and cultivate virtue. This is the right path. Teaching in this way is like the Buddha picking us up and placing us at the beginning of the path. Having reached the path, whether we walk along it or not is up to us. The Buddha』s job is finished right there. He shows us the way, that which is right and that which is not right. This much is enough; the rest is up to us.

開佛知見,示佛知見,使悟佛知見,入佛知見也。
