美好的一餐 A Wonderful Meal

A Wonderful Meal

　　美好的一餐

Some Students asked Achaan Chah why he so rarely talks about Nirvana but teaches instead about wisdom in daily life. Other teachers speak so often of attaining Nirvana, of its special bliss and its importance in their practice.

　　有些弟子問阿姜 查，為什麼他極少談到涅槃，而卻一直教導日常生活中的智慧。其他的老師經常談到證得涅槃，和證得涅槃的喜悅與其他修行中的重要性。

Achaan Chah answered that some people will savor a good meal and then go on to praise its merits to everyone they meet. Others will eat and savour the same meal but, once through, will feel no need to go around telling others of a meal already eaten.

　　阿姜 查回答說，有些人會品嘗一道美食，然後逢人便讚揚其殊勝。其他人也會嘗同一道餐飲，但，嘗過之後，卻覺得沒有必要到處去宣揚已吃過的餐飯。
