No Ajahn Chah《162》

《162》他們總是向外看——看人、看事物。例如:他們看到這棟禮堂就說:「嘩,好大啊!」事實上它並不大,不論它看起來是大是小,都只是來自你對它的概念罷了!實際上,這棟講堂只是如此;非大也非小,可是,人們一直都在追隨他們的感覺,忙于到處看,並且對他們所看到的都有意見,所以沒有時間去看他們自己。

People are always looking outwards, at people and things around them. They look at this hall, for example, and say, “Oh, it』s so big!” Actually it』s not big at all. Whether or not it seems big, depends on your perception of it. In fact this hall is just the size it is, neither big nor small. But people run after their feelings all the time. They are so busy looking around and having opinions about what they see that they have no time to look at themselves.

開佛知見,示佛知見,使悟佛知見,入佛知見也。
