理性的啓發
重返世間(246)
拾佛牙慧(242)
「神鬼神帝,生天生地。在太極之先而不為高,在六極之下而不為深,先天地生而不為久,長於上古而不為老。(God is the divine in the ghosts and emperors. God begot Sky and Earth. God is above the Grand Ridgepole, but is not to be called lofty, below the six ultimate points, but is not called deep. God preceded the creation of Sky and Earth, but is not to be thought old. God is more ancient than high antiquity, but is not to be thought aged. Chapter 6, Let God be Teacher, Chuang Tzu) 」
「大宗師。梵童子自稱,我大梵天無能勝者,統千世界,富貴尊豪,最得自在,能造萬物,眾生父母。」(見長阿含卷十六堅固經)
「哦?書呆子。梵童子和道作比較?」
「大宗師。梵童子自然化生,常現童身頭五髻,永遠不老。」
「嗯。梵童子堪與道作比擬。」
「大宗師。梵童子和道是自有,皆是永有者嗎?」
「書呆子。梵童子並非永有者。」
「大宗師。Alas, there is no knowing. But let me give you a rough idea of truth. O Master, master ! Thou dost provide the blend that is all creation, but dost not think this an act of propriety. Thy benefits enfold ten thousand generations, but thou dost not think of this as alove of neighbor. Thou art elder to highest antiquity, but thou art not old. Thou dost cover Sky and unfold Earth and carve all manner of shapes, but thou art not clever. This is where I take my pleasure.」(Chapter 6, Let God be Teacher, Chuang Tzu)
