No Ajahn Chah《126》

《126》我有一位老師吃東西非常快，吃飯時還弄出很大的聲音來，然而，他卻叫我們要慢慢地，正念地吃。我通常會觀察他而且非常的生氣。我痛苦，而他卻不然！我看的是外表。後來，我才學習到：有些人車開得非常快，但卻很小心；有些人開得很慢，卻常發生車禍。不要去執著條規和外相。如果你最多以百分之十的時間來看他人，而以百分之九十的時間來看自己，你的修行還算可以。

One of my teachers ate very fast. He made noises as he ate. Yet he told us to eat slowly and mindfully. I used to watch him and get very upset. I suffered, but he didn』t! I watched the outside. Later I learned that some people drive very fast but carefully; others drive slowly and have many accidents. Don』t cling to rules, to outer form. If you watch others at most ten percent of the time and watch yourself ninety percent of the time, you practice is okay.
