闲人语录 — 可悲的事实

人犯了很长时间的不合逻辑的错误。为物质财产赚钱以提高社会地位，并为将来的“美好生活”做准备，忽视他的健康，过着不会死的生活。错误是不在当下，永远不要考虑如果你死得比你预期的早会怎么样。如果你现在不清醒来改变你的生活重心，那么生命中宝贵的时刻就会错过或丢失。生活中有比金钱更重要的事情，比如和家人、朋友在一起，留下纪念性的回忆或经历。这些并不占用太多时间，但却是生活中更有意义的事件。如果这些东西丢了，钱是买不回来的。珍惜每一刻，活在当下，不要错过才后悔。

IdlierStories: Muddy Water

Once Buddha was walking from one town to another town with a few of his followers. This was in the initial days. While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his disciples, “I am thirsty. Please get me some water from that lake there”. The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing the lake right at the edge of it. As a result, the water became very muddy, very turbid. The disciple thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?!” So he came back and told the Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink”. So, the Buddha said, let us take a little rest here by the tree. After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink.
