No Ajahn Chah《129》
《129》我並沒有教我的弟子懶散地生活和修行,可是,我不在的時候,他們就是這樣。當警察在時,他們便很守規矩。當警察問有沒有小偷時,當然,他們都說沒有,他們一個都沒看到。可是,一旦警察一走,他們又故態復萌。佛陀的時代就已經這樣了。因此,只要看著你自己就好,不要去注意他人做什麼。
I don』t teach my disciples to live and practice heedlessly. But that』s what they do when I』m not around. When the policeman is around, the thieves behave themselves. When he asks if there are any thieves around, of course they all say there aren』t; that they』ve never seen any. But as soon as the policeman is gone, they』re all at it again. It was like that even in the Buddha』s time. So just watch yourself and don』t be concerned with what others do.
