No Ajahn Chah《163》
《163》有些人對修行起了無聊厭煩和疲憊的心,所以懈怠了。他們似乎無法將「法」牢記于心。然而,如果你罵他們的話,他們永遠也不會忘記;有些人可能在他們有生之年都會記得,而且絕不會忘記。可是,說到佛陀的教導,他告訴我們要自制、要收攝、要精進不斷修行,他們為何一直把這些事情給忘了呢?為何人們不能把這些事情緊記于心呢?
Some people get bored, fed up, tired of the practice, and lazy. They can』t seem to keep the Dhamma in mind. Yet, if you go and scold them, they』ll never forget that. Some may remember it for the rest of their lives and never forgive you for it. But when it comes to the Buddha』s teaching, telling us to be moderate, to be restrained, to practice conscientiously, why do they keep forgetting these things? Why don』t people take these things to heart?
