〖玻璃杯〗

    我如何找到正见呢？我就简单地以手中正握著的杯子回答你们。它对我们而言似乎是清洁实用的，可用来饮水，更可以长时间的保存。所谓的正见是要将它看做是破的玻璃，仿佛已经碎裂了。不久以后，它将破碎。如果你在使用它时，心存这种见解——它只是元素所组合而成的杯子的形状，终归破灭。那么不论它发生什么事，你都不会有任何烦恼。同样的道理，身体就像这杯子，它也将破碎、死亡，你们必须了解这个道理。但是，了解这个道理并不表示你应该结束自己的生命，就像不应该因此去打碎这杯子或丢掉它一样。杯子是个可以使用直到它自然破损的东西。同样地，身体有如一辆车子，利用它直到它回归自然。你们该做的是去了解一切事物的本然。这种正见可以使你们无系缚地生存於整个变动的世界中。

Drinking Glass

How can you find right understanding? I can answer you simply by using this glass of water I am holding. It appears to us as clean and useful, something to drink from and keep for a long time. Right understanding is to see this as broken glass, as if it has already been shattered. Sooner or later, it will be shattered. If you keep this understanding while you are using it - that all it is is a combination of elements which come together in this form and then break apart - then no matter what happens to the glass, you will have no problem. The body is like the glass. It is also going to break apart and die. You have to understand that. Yet when you do, it doesn't mean you should go and kill yourself, just as you shouldn't take the glass and break it or throw it away. The glass is something to use until it falls apart in its own natural way. In the same way, the body is a vehicle to use until goes its own way. Your task is to see what the natural way of things is. This understanding can make you free in all the changing circumstances of the entire world.
