《091》有人说,佛陀的教法很正确,但却不可能在社会里实践。他们说:「我还年轻,所以没机会修行,可是,当我年老时,我会去修行的。但你会说:「我还年轻,所以没时间吃饭;但当我年老时,我再去吃饭」吗?如果我用一根着火的棍子刺你的话,你会说:「没错,我很痛苦,可是,因为我在这社会里,所以无法逃脱」吗?
People say that the Buddha’s teaching is right, but it is impossible to practice in society. They say things like, "I’m young, so I don’t have the opportunity to practice, but when I’m old I’ll practice." Would you say "I’m young, so I don’t have time to eat?" If I poked you with a stick that was on fire, would you say "I’m suffering, it’s true, but since I live in this society I can’t get away from it?"
