一青年向禅师求教.
“大师,有人赞我是天才,将来必有一番作为；也有人骂我是笨蛋,一辈子不会有多大出息.依您看呢?”
“你是如何看待自己的?”禅师反问.青年摇摇头,一脸茫然.
“譬如同样一斤米,用不同眼光去看,它的价值也就迥然不同.在炊妇眼中,它不过做两三碗大米饭而已；在农民看来,它最多值一元钱罢了；在卖粽子人的眼里,包扎成粽子后,它可卖出三元钱；在制饼者看来,它能被加工成饼干,卖五元钱；在制酒商看来,它能酿成酒,勾兑后卖四十元钱.不过,米还是那斤米.”
大师顿了顿接着说：“同样一个人,有人将你抬得很高,有人把你贬得很低,其实你就是你.你究竟有多大出息,取决于你到底怎样看待自己.”
青年豁然开朗.
Ask for advice to a young Buddhist monk.
"Master,it was like I was a genius,there must be a bright future; others call me a fool,life would not amount to much.depending on your time?"
"How do you see yourself?"Jackson asked.Young shook his head,bewildered.
"For example,the same pound of rice,with a different perspective,it is also very different value.In the eyes of women cooking,it is but to do it two or three bowls of rice; the farmers view,it fills up the value of a dollar; in the sale The eyes of rice dumplings,wrapped into dumplings,it can be sold three dollars; who appears in the cake,it can be processed into biscuits,sold five dollars; winemakers in view,it can lead to wine ,blending after selling forty dollars.However,the meter or meters that burden."
Master paused and then said:"The same one,someone will lift you so high,you devaluation was very low,in fact,you are you.you really amount to much,depending on how you see yourself in the end."
Young suddenly.
