理性的啓發
重返世間(249)
拾佛牙慧(245)
「書呆子。老子就是游於物之初。見物之然,見物之所以然。知見物之所以然,所以,知見物之然。」
「大宗師。知見不生不滅?」
「書呆子。先不談老子自見自有永有者。就談老子是否知見不生不滅?」
「大宗師。就聽您的。」
「書呆子。老子說 : 夫得是,至美至樂也,得至美而游乎至樂,謂之至人。(There is the most beautiful and joyful of achievements. Being man in his highest form is achieving the most beautiful and living in the highest joy. Ibid.)得至美而游乎至樂,當然,知見不生不滅。」
「大宗師。老子知見不生不滅。老子已了生脫死?」
「那當然。真人都已了生脫死,何況老子是真人之博大者。」
「大宗師。這如何說明?」
「書呆子。汝不聞諸得道真人如何傳道?」
「大宗師。願聞其詳。」
「書呆子。南伯子葵問女踽(立人旁) ,子之年長矣,而色若孺子,何也?
乃回答,吾聞道矣。(Tzu-Chi’I of Nan-po asked Ju Yu, “you are old in year, but your complexion is that of a child. Why?” “I have been taught a method.” Chapter 6, Let God be Teacher, Chuang Tzu) 」
「大宗師。只是個聞道者,就能傳道?」
「書呆子。當洗耳恭聽。夫以聖人之道告聖人之才,亦易矣。吾猶守(道)而告之,参日而後能外天下 ; 已外天下矣,吾又守之,七日而後能外物 ; 已外物矣,吾又守之,九日而後能外生 ; 已外生矣,而後能朝徹 ; 朝徹,而後能見獨 ; 見獨,而後能無古今 ; 無古今,而後能入於不生不死。(So I wanted to teach it to him in the hope that he might become a sage. Even if he didn’t , however, the potiential, informed of a method, would find it easy to understand. So I persited and informed him. After three days he could get beyond our world. I persisted more, and after seven days he could get beyond created things. With further persistence on my part, after nine days he could get beyond life. After that he could be Morning Light, then Solitariness, then free from time. Then he entered into neither-death-nor-birth. Chapter 6, Let God be Teacher, Chuang Tzu) 」
「大宗師。能入不生不死,就能了生脫死?」
「書呆子。殺生者不死,生生者不生。其為物,無不將,無不迎也 ; 無不毀也,無不成也。其名為攖寧也。攖寧也者,攖而後成者也。(Where the destroyer of life does not die, and the producer of birth is not born. As governor of things, he escorted and greeted them all,. The name is Active Tranquillity. It means to achieve after action. Ibid.)
「大宗師。殺生者道,生生者道。道不生不死,得道者能入不生不死,就能了生脫死?」
「書呆子。你不信不服?」
「大宗師。真人能隨意變化,乃至手捫日月,立至梵天?」
「書呆子。你說什麼?」
