No Ajahn Chah《127》

《127》徒弟是很難教的。有些知道卻不去實踐，有些不知道也不會設法去理解，對他們我真不知該怎麼辦。為何人們會有這種心態呢？愚癡不好，可是，縱使告訴他們，他們仍然聽不進去。在他們的修行中，充滿了疑惑，而且總是在懷疑。他們想要達到涅槃，卻不想實踐「道」，真令人困擾。當我叫他們禪坐時，他們害怕，如果不是害怕的話，就只會打瞌睡。絕大部份，他們都喜歡做我不教他們的事；這就是身為一位老師的痛楚。

Disciples are hard to teach. Some know but don』t bother to practice. Some don』t know and don』t try to find out. I don』t know what to do with them. Why is it that humans have minds like this? Being ignorant is not good, but even if I tell them, they still don』t listen. People are so full of doubts in their practice. They always doubt. They want to go to Nibbana but they don』t want to walk the path. It』s baffling. When I tell them to meditate, they』re afraid, and if not afraid, then just plain sleepy. Mostly they like to do the things I don』t teach. This is the pain of being a teacher.
