No Ajahn Chah《149》
《149》正精進和戒並不是在于你外表的所為,而是不間斷地持續你內在的覺醒與收攝。因此,布施罷!如果以善的動機布施的話,能帶給自己和他人的快樂。可是,為了使布施清淨,戒必須是布施的根本。
Right effort and virtue are not a question of what you do outwardly but of constant inner awareness and restraint. Thus, charity, if given with good intention, can bring happiness to oneself and to others. But virtue must be the root of this charity for it to be pure.
