《008》如果你修行得正确的话，你在生病时是不会恐惧的，当一个人死时，你也不会感到悲恼。当你到医院里去医疗时，在心中下定决心：如果康复的话，那很好，但，如果你死了的话，那也无妨。假使医生告诉我，我得了癌症，只剩下几个月的生命，我向你们保证，我会提醒医生：「小心，因为死也将要找上你。问题只是谁先走和谁走地较晚而已。」医生是无法治疗死亡或阻挡死亡的。佛陀才是唯一的医师，因此，为何不去使用佛陀的药方呢？

If you’ve trained properly, you wouldn’t feel frightened when you fall sick, nor be upset when someone dies. When you go into the hospital for treatment, determine in your mind that if you get better, that’s fine, and that if you die, that’s fine, too. I guarantee you that if the doctors told me I had cancer and was going to die in a few months, I’d remind the doctors, "Watch out, because death is coming to get you, too. It’s just a question of who goes first and who goes later." Doctors are not going to cure death or prevent death. Only the Buddha was such a doctor, so why not go ahead and use the Buddha’s medicine?
