No Ajahn Chah《059》
《059》我曾聽到別人說:「啊!今年對我不利。」「為什麼呢?」「因為我整年臥病在床,根本沒辦法修行。」啊!如果他們臨死的時候都不修行,他們何時可以修行呢?當他們康復時,你想他們何時可以修行呢?你想他們會修行嗎?才怪!他們只會耽溺在愉悅之中。如果他們痛苦,他們仍然不修行,而且迷失在其中。我不知道人們哪時候才會想要去修行。
I』ve heard people say, “Oh, this year was a bad year for me.” “How come?” I ask them. “I was sick all year,” they reply. “I couldn』t practice at all.” Oh! If they don』t practice when death is near, when will they ever practice? No! They only get lost in happiness. If they』re suffering, they still don』t practice. They get lost in that, too. I don』t know when people think they』re going to practice.
