故事里的人物 :

苏东坡 : 宋朝大文豪，是中國文學 藝術史上罕見的全才 。佛印 : 一位博学和尚。苏小妹 : 苏东坡的妹妹。

The characters in the story:

Su Dongpo : A rare & versatile scholar

during the Song Dynasty.

Fo Yin : A learned monk.

Su Xiaomei : Younger sister of Su Dongpo.

苏东坡和佛印和尚是很好的朋友，但是两人也喜欢彼此嘲弄一番。 Su Dongpo and Fo Yin were good friends, and they liked to poke fun at each other.

有一天，两人坐着打襌。

One day, they had a sitting meditation session together.

一会儿功夫，苏东坡睁开眼问佛印： After a while, Su Dongpo

opened his eye and asked Fo Yin:

「你看我坐襌的样子像甚么？」” How do I look in

meditation?”

佛印看了看，频频点头称赞：「嗯！你像一尊高贵的佛。」Fo Yin looked at him, kept nodding his head and praised : ” You look liked an Exalted Buddha.”

Su Dongpo felt proud of himself.

苏东坡暗自窃喜。

佛印也反问道：「那你看我像甚么呢？」Likewise Fo Yin asked: ” What do I look like?”.

苏东坡故意气佛印： 「我看你简直像一堆牛粪。」Su Dongpo purposely teased Fo Yin: ” In my eyes, you are just like a pile of cow dung.”

佛印居然微微一笑，没有提出反驳。Fo Yin simply smiled and did not refute.

回到家中，苏东坡得意的告诉他的妹妹： Back at home, Su

Dongpo was pleased to relate the incident to

his sister :

「今天佛印被我好好的修理了一番。」 ” I fixed Fo Yin up nicely today.”

当苏小妹听了事情原委后，反而笑了出来。After hearing the whole story, Su Xiaomei

on the contrary, laughed.

苏东坡好奇的问道：「有甚么好笑的？」 Su Dongpo curiously asked: ”What is there to laugh about?”

「人家佛印和尚心中有佛，所以看你如佛 ;

“The monk Fo Yin has a Buddha in his heart, so he sees you like a Buddha.

而你心中有粪，所以看人如粪，其实输的是你呀！」On the other hand, your heart has a pile

of shit, so you see other like a pile of shit.

静思 :

世界是由心造

Reflection:

The world is mind made

心美，看什么都美

Through a beautiful heart,

everything is beautiful

A mind in a good state & full of loving kindness,

Everything that the eyes see is beautiful.

心境好，心有爱，眼睛所见的事物也显得美好 .
