| 黑鼻子的佛 有一个寻求开悟的尼姑，雕刻了一尊木头的 佛像，并且包上了金箔。 佛像非常漂亮。无论她走到哪里， 都将她带在身边。 很多年过去了，那个尼姑还一直带着 他的佛像。 她驻留在一个乡村的寺庙里， 寺庙里有很多尊佛像， 每尊佛像都有自己的神龛。 每天她都在她的金装的佛像前烧香， 但是出乎她的意料， 香气都飘向其它的佛像， 于是她设计了一个漏斗， 通过漏斗，烟只能飘香她的佛像， 这样便熏黑了金装的佛像的鼻子， 使佛像变得特别难看。 |
A nun who was searching for enlightenment made a wooden statue of Buddha and covered it with
gold leaf. It was very pretty and she carried it with her wherever she went.
Years passed, and still carrying her Buddha, the nun settled down in a small country temple where
there were many statues of Buddha each having its own shrine.
The nun burned incense before her golden Buddha each day, but not liking the idea of her perfume
straying to the other statues, she devised a funnel through which the smoke would ascend to her
statue only.
This blackened the nose of the golden statue and made it especially ugly.

| One of the greatest problems that is bound to face everybody who is traveling the path, is to make a clear- cut distinction between love and attachment. They appear the same – they are not. They look alike – they are not. Rather, on the contrary, even hate is more similar to love than attachment. Attachment is just the contrary; it hides the reality of hatred and gives the appearance of love, it kills love. Nothing else can be so poisonous as attachment, as possessiveness. So try to understand this, then we can enter this beautiful story... --Osho No Water, No Moon, ch. 7 |
