〖脏衣服〗
当我们的身体是脏的,而且穿上脏的衣服时,我们的心也将感到不舒服和沮丧,这是很自然的事。如果我们保持身体洁净,穿干净、整齐的衣服,便能使我们的心轻快高兴起来。
同样地,不守戒律,我们的身行和言语也就不清净,这就是造成心理的不快乐、苦恼而沉重的原因。如果我们远离了正确的修行,这会障碍我们彻见存在我们心中的法的本质。健全的身行和言语在於一颗正确训练的心。因为是心传达命令给身和语,所以,我们必须由“训练我们的心”来不断修行。
Dirty Clothes
It is only natural that when our body is dirty and we put on dirty clothes that our mind will not be light and cheerful but will feel uncomfortable and depressed. So, too, when morality is not practiced, our bodily actions and speech are dirty. This causes the mind to be unhappy, uncomfortable, and distressed. We become separated from right practice and this prevents us from penetrating into the essence of the Dhamma in our mind. Wholesome bodily actions and speech themselves depend on the mind properly trained, since mind orders body and speech. Therefore, we must continue to practice by training our minds.
