No Ajahn Chah《116》

《116》人在一個地方受了苦，就會跑到其他地方去，當苦在那兒生起時，他們又再逃避。他們認為他們是在逃避苦，但卻不然；苦追隨著他們。他們帶著苦到處跑，卻一點也不知道。如果我們不知苦，就無法知道苦的起因；如果我們不知苦的起因，那麼，我們就不知苦的熄滅。如此一來，我們便無處可逃。

People have suffering in one place, so they go somewhere else. When suffering arises there, they run off again. They think they』re running away from suffering, but they』re not. Suffering goes with them. They carry suffering around without knowing it. If we don』t know suffering, then we can』t know the cause of suffering. If we don』t know the cause of suffering, then we can』t know the cessation of suffering. There』s no way we can escape it.
