《129》我并没有教我的弟子懒散地生活和修行，可是，我不在的时候，他们就是这样。当警察在时，他们便很守规矩。当警察问有没有小偷时，当然，他们都说没有，他们一个都没看到。可是，一旦警察一走，他们又故态复萌。佛陀的时代就已经这样了。因此，只要看着你自己就好，不要去注意他人做什么。

I don’t teach my disciples to live and practice heedlessly. But that’s what they do when I’m not around. When the policeman is around, the thieves behave themselves. When he asks if there are any thieves around, of course they all say there aren’t; that they’ve never seen any. But as soon as the policeman is gone, they’re all at it again. It was like that even in the Buddha’s time. So just watch yourself and don’t be concerned with what others do.
