Having Not Yet Ended Birth and Death,
His Annoyance Turns to Rage
生死未了 恼羞成怒
Patriarch Bodhidharma said, "Since you teach people how to end birth and death, tell me, how does one end birth and death? In the Sutra you are lecturing, the inked areas are words, and the blank areas are paper. What do you use to teach people how to end birth and death? Have you ended your own birth and death?"
达摩祖师说:“你教人了生死,生死怎么了法?你所讲的经,黑的是字,白的是纸,凭什么教人了生死?你自己的生死了了没有?”
Hearing that, Dharma Master Shen Guang was speechless and thought to himself, "The things this Indian says are outlandish. Is he a manifestation of a demon king? Otherwise, how could he be slandering the Triple Jewel like that?" Thereupon, his annoyance turned to rage, and he lost his temper, "I'm going to try you out, you demon king!"
神光法师一听,问得他也没话说了,心想:“咦!这个印度人讲话很特别的,大约是魔王所现吧?要不然,怎么这样毁谤三宝?”于是就恼羞成怒,发了脾气:“我要试试你这个魔王!”
