No Ajahn Chah《108》

《108》戒、定和慧一起促成了「道」,可是,這個「道」還不是真正的教導,也不是老師真正所要的,但,又只有「道」才能將你帶到目的地。比如說:你走在曼谷到巴逢寺的路上,路對你的旅行而言是必要的,可是,你是在尋找巴逢寺——你是在找寺院而不是路。同樣的道理,我們可以說,戒、定和慧是佛陀真理的外表,但是,它是導引我們到達這個真理的道路。當你增長了這三個因素時,其結果是最完美的平靜。

Virtue, concentration, and wisdom together make up the Path. But this Path is not yet the true teaching, not what the teacher actually wanted, but merely the Path that will take you there. For example, say you traveled the road from Bangkok to Wat Pah Pong; the road was necessary for your journey, but you were seeking Wat Pah Pong, the monastery, not the road. In the same way, we can say that virtue, concentration, and wisdom are outside the truth of the Buddha but are the road that leads to truth. When you have developed these three factors, the result is the most wonderful peace.

開佛知見,示佛知見,使悟佛知見,入佛知見也。
