佛陀的教誨 Buddha’s Teaching
During the spring festival of 2013, my wife and I stayed at the AMANFAYUN Anman Fayun resort in Hangzhou. In the library, I found the following quote in an photo album entitled “China” by Roland and Sabrina Michaud (Paris: Flammarion, 2008). A quote caught my attention:
“Be your own light, your own refuge. Believe only what you try out yourself. Don’t accept authority simply because it comes from some great man or is written in a sacred book, for truth is different for each of us.
The Buddha (Fifth century BCE)”
2013年春假,在杭州法雲安縵圖書館中看到一本法國夫婦所寫的中國旅遊攝影集,其中一句話深深吸引我:
兩千五百年前的智者釋迦摩尼說:
「你要成為你自己的指路燈。你要成為你自己的避風港。
你要只相信自己摸索出的道路。
不要接受權威,不要只因為權威來自偉大的人就接受,不要只因為權威來自神
聖的經典就接受,
原因是真理對每個人來說都不一樣。」(以上是中斌試圖從英文翻譯成的中文。原文應是梵文或巴利文,轉成英文。出自何經典待考。)
