No Ajahn Chah《091》

《091》有人說，佛陀的教法很正確，但卻不可能在社會里實踐。他們說：「我還年輕，所以沒機會修行，可是，當我年老時，我會去修行的。但你會說：「我還年輕，所以沒時間吃飯；但當我年老時，我再去吃飯」嗎？如果我用一根著火的棍子刺你的話，你會說：「沒錯，我很痛苦，可是，因為我在這社會里，所以無法逃脫」嗎？

People say that the Buddha』s teaching is right, but it is impossible to practice in society. They say things like, “I』m young, so I don』t have the opportunity to practice, but when I』m old I』ll practice.” Would you say “I』m young, so I don』t have time to eat?” If I poked you with a stick that was on fire, would you say “I』m suffering, it』s true, but since I live in this society I can』t get away from it?”
