《050》有时,我到佛教古迹圣地去参观,有些地方已经龟裂了。也许我的朋友会说:「好可惜啊!是不是?都已龟裂了。」我会回答:「如果它们不毁坏的话,就不会有佛陀,也不会有法了。它们的毁坏,正是因为它符合了佛陀的教法。」
Sometimes I’d go to see old religious sites with ancient temples. In some places they would be cracked. Maybe one of my friends would remark, "Such a shame, isn’t it? It’s cracked." I’d answer, "If they weren’t cracked there’d be no such thing as the Buddha. There’d be no Dhamma. It’s cracked like this because it’s perfectly in line with the Buddha’s teaching."
