| 你为什么还不休息 德山宣鉴在龙潭崇信那里学习禅。 一天晚上，德山来找龙潭， 问了很多问题。 老师说：“夜很深了， 你为什么还不休息？” 于是德山鞠了个躬， 当他撩开门帘走出去时， 他看到：“外面非常暗。” 龙潭给德山一根点燃了的蜡烛 来照亮他的路， 但是正当德山接过蜡烛时， 龙潭吹灭了它。 当下，德山的头脑打开了。 |
Tokusan was studying Zen under Ryutan. One night Tokusan came to Ryutan and asked many
questions.
The teacher said, "The night is getting old--why don't you retire? "
So Tokusan bowed, and as he opened the screen to go out he observed, " It is very dark
outside."
Ryutan offered Tokusan a lighted candle to find his way, but just as Tokusan received it, Ryutan
blew it out.
At that moment the mind of Tokusan was opened.

| This story says, Tokusan was studying Zen....There he was wrong. No university can offer you a course in religion. They offer, but whatsoever they teach is not religion at all. It may be a history of religion – it is not religion. It may be philosophies of religion – it is not religion. They may help you to learn the Koran, the Bible, the Gita, but it is not religion. They may talk about Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and you will learn many things, but you will miss the very base, the very core... --Osho No Water, No Moon, ch. 6 |
