第5則 明朗

五　明　朗

「不要刻意去尋找天主。」大師說：「只需觀看，一切自會豁然開朗。」

「應該怎麼觀看呢？」

「當你看任何東西時，就只看眼前所呈現的，勿起他念。」

弟子們大惑不解，於是大師作一淺喻：「當你望月，就儘管觀月，勿觀其他。」

「當我們望月時，除了月亮，還能看到什麼？」

「饑餓的人會看到一團乳酪，戀愛中的人會看到情人的臉。」

5. CLARITY

“Don‘t look for God,” the Master said. “Just look — and all will be revealed.”

“But how is one to look?”

“Each time you look at anything, see only what is there and nothing else.”

The disciples were bewildered, so the Master made it simpler: “For instance: When you look at the moon, see the moon and nothing else.”

“What else could one see except the moon when one looks at the moon?”

“A hungry person could see a ball of cheese. A lover, the face of his beloved.”
