No Ajahn Chah《167》
《167》有些人害怕布施,因為他們覺得這樣他們會被利用或受到壓抑。在長養布施當中,我們只壓抑我們的貪念與執著。這樣做會使我們的真實本然自然流露,並且變得更輕安,更自在。
Some people are afraid of generosity. They feel that they will be exploited or oppressed. In cultivating generosity, we are only oppressing our greed and attachment. This allows our true nature to express itself and become lighter and freer.
