《108》戒、定和慧一起促成了「道」,可是,这个「道」还不是真正的教导,也不是老师真正所要的,但,又只有「道」才能将你带到目的地。比如说:你走在曼谷到巴逢寺的路上,路对你的旅行而言是必要的,可是,你是在寻找巴逢寺——你是在找寺院而不是路。同样的道理,我们可以说,戒、定和慧是佛陀真理的外表,但是,它是导引我们到达这个真理的道路。当你增长了这三个因素时,其结果是最完美的平静。
Virtue, concentration, and wisdom together make up the Path. But this Path is not yet the true teaching, not what the teacher actually wanted, but merely the Path that will take you there. For example, say you traveled the road from Bangkok to Wat Pah Pong; the road was necessary for your journey, but you were seeking Wat Pah Pong, the monastery, not the road. In the same way, we can say that virtue, concentration, and wisdom are outside the truth of the Buddha but are the road that leads to truth. When you have developed these three factors, the result is the most wonderful peace.
