No Ajahn Chah《181》

《181》阿姜 查聽到他的一位弟子在誦心經，當他結束後，阿姜 查說：「無空亦無菩薩。」他于是問：「那經從何來？」弟子回答：「據說是佛陀說的。」阿姜 查說：「可是沒有佛陀啊！」後來他說：「心經是在談甚深的智慧，超越一切的世俗。沒有了它們(世俗)，我們哪還能教導他人呢？對事物而言，我們必須給它名字，不是嗎？」

 Ajahn Chah listened to one of his disciples recite the Heart Sutra. When he had finished, Ajahn Chah said, “No emptiness either… no bodhisatta.” He then asked, “Where did the sutra come from?” “It』s reputed to have been spoken by the Buddha,” the follower replied. “No Buddha,” retorted Ajahn Chah. Then he said, “This is talking about deep wisdom beyond all conventions. How could we teach without them? We have to have names for things, isn』t that so?”
