〖刀子〗

    每一把刀子都有刀锋、刀背和刀柄，在你拿刀子的时候，可以只提起刀锋吗？或只有提起刀背或刀柄？刀柄、刀背和刀锋这几个部位都在同一把刀子上。当你拿起刀子时，这三个部位都会同时地被拿起。

    同样的道理，假如你拿起了善，恶也必然随至。人们一味地寻求善，试图抛弃恶，但是，他们却没有学习非善和非恶。如果你没有学习非善和非恶，那么，你将得不到真实的知见。如果只取善，恶一样会跟著来；如果只取乐，苦同样随至。训练你的心，直到它超越善、恶，而那就是修行完成的时候。

Knife

A knife has a blade, a spine and a handle. Can you lift up only the blade? Can you lift up only the handle? The handle, the spine and the blade are all parts of the same knife. When you pick up the knife, all three parts come up at the same time. In the same way, if you pick up that which is good, the bad must follow. People search for goodness and try to throw away evil, but they don't study that which is neither good nor evil. If you don't study this, then you won't have real understanding. If you pick up goodness, badness follows. If you pick up happiness, suffering follows. Train the mind until it is above good and evil. That's when the practice is finished.
