香甜的水果 Sweet Fruit

〖香甜的水果〗

即使是一顆香甜可口的水果，在我們要知道它的味道如何之前，必須先嘗試它，即使不曾有人嘗過那顆水果，它還是依然香甜可口，只是沒人知曉而已。佛陀的法也是如此。縱然是真理，對那些全然不知的人而言，卻非真實。不論佛法有多完美、多優越，對他們而言，都是無用。

Sweet Fruit

Even though a fruit is sweet, we must first taste it before we know what its taste is like. Yet, that fruit, even though no one tastes it, is still sweet. But nobody knows it. The Dhamma of the Buddha is like this. Even though it’s the truth, it isn’t true for those who don’t really know it. No matter how excellent or fine it may be, it is worthless to them.
