Chen Yaozi, Duke Kang Su was unsurpassed in archery,and he had a very high opinion ofhimself.
康肃公陈尧咨,射箭技术举世无双,他本人也自命不凡。
One day, when he was shooting arrows in his own garden, an old oil peddler happened to passby.
一天,他在自己的花园里射箭。有个卖油的老头儿正好路过这里,
The old man laid down his shoulder pole with its load, stood to one side, watched askance fora long while and didn’t go away.
老人放下担子,站在一旁,斜着眼睛看了好久仍不离去。
When the old man saw him hit the target every time, he didn’t cheer, but only nodded Kang Su asked:
老头儿见他箭箭射中,并不喝彩,只是微微点头。康肃公问:
“Do you know archery too? Isn’t my skill excellent?”
“你也懂得射箭吗?难道我的本领还不高明吗?”
The old man said:
老头儿说:
“This is nothing, only skillful technique.”
“这没什么,只不过是手法熟练而已。”
Duke Kang Su was angry and rebuked him loudly:
康肃公很恼火,大声斥责说:
“How dare you belittle my archery skill?”
“你怎么敢小看我的射箭技术!”
The old man replied unhurriedly:
老头儿不慌不忙地回答说:
“I know this from pouring oil.”
“我是通过打油得知的。”
As he spoke, he put a bottle gourd on the ground, and a copper coin with a hole in its centreon the mouth of the bottle gourd.
说着,他拿了一只葫芦放在地下,又把一枚有孔的铜钱放在葫芦口上,
Then he slowly poured oil into the bottle gourd with a ladle.
然后用勺慢慢地往葫芦里灌油。
The oil,like a thin string, went straight into the bottle gourd through the hole in the copper coinwithout staining the coin at all.
只见油像一条细线一样,从铜钱眼里注人葫芦,铜钱却一点也没有沾油。
The old man smiled and said:
老头儿笑了笑说:
“This is nothing either, only skillful technique.”
“我这也没什么,只是手法熟练罢了!”
儿童经典英语寓言故事:磨砖成镜In the Tang Dynasty, there was a Guanyin (Avalokitesvara) Temple on the Southern Mountainof Hengshan.
唐朝时,南岳衡山上有一座观音庙,
The temple was stately and solemn, with incense smoke curling all around.
庙宇庄严,香火缭绕。
One day, the eminent Monk Huai Rang of the Chan sect strolled into the temple hall and sawMonk Ma Zu sitting calm and upright on a rush cushion,
有一天,禅宗高僧怀让踱进佛殿,一眼看到马祖和尚正端坐在蒲团上,
with his palms put together and his eyes closed in deep meditation.
静心合掌,闭目禅定。
Knowing that Ma Zu aspired to become a Buddha, Huai Rang smiled to himself.
怀让知道马祖一心想成佛,暗自好笑。
He picked up a brick at random, squatted on his heels and began to grind it noisily.
他随手拣来一块青砖,蹲在地上哗啦哗啦地磨了起来。
Ma Zu was vexed by the noise. He opened his eyes to find that it was his own master grinding abrick. He asked:
马祖听得心烦,睁眼一看,原来是自己的师傅在磨砖。马祖问:
“Master, what are you doing?”
“师傅,你在做什么?”
Huai Rang replied:
怀让回答:
“I am grinding the brick to make a mirror.”
“磨砖做镜。”
Ma Zu laughed and said:
马祖笑着说:
“Can a brick be ground into a mirror?”
“难道砖头也能磨成镜子吗?”
“If a brick cannot be ground into a mirror,”replied Huai Rang, “then can you become a Buddhaby sitting in deep meditation?”
怀让答道:“砖头不能磨成镜子,难道你坐禅就能成佛吗?”
Ma Zu was rather displeased, and said:
马祖很不高兴,说:
“What do you mean?”
“你这是什么意思?”
Huai Rang explained:
怀让解释说:
“For example, an ox pulls a cart, but the cart doesn’t move. Now, you say, should you whipthe ox or push the cart?”
“打个比方说,牛拉车,车不动。你说,应该打牛还是推车?”
Ma Zu hummed and hawed but couldn’t answer.
马祖支支吾吾答不上来。
At this moment, Huai Rang said to him seriously:
这时候,怀让认真地对他说:
“You learn to sit in meditation in order to become a Buddha.
“你学坐禅是为了成佛,
In fact,it relies on wisdom and comprehension of the mind to become one,not at all on sitting.
其实,成佛靠的是心灵的颖悟,根本不是坐着能解决的。”
“As for a Buddha, he has no fixed appearance, so the mind cannot fix on any single object.
“而佛呢,没有固定的相貌,所以心不能停留在任何一种事物上。
If you try to learn Buddhism by sitting in meditation, that would amount to throttling aBuddha.
你想坐禅学佛,也就是杀佛。
If you obstinately dwell on external appearance, you will never comprehend the real Buddhistdoctrine.”
你固执着外相,就永远不能领悟到真正的佛理。”
