佛陀受羊乳供養，很簡單的一件事，拆開來看內容其實很多，他自己接受來自身體的要求，違背傳統教法，卻讓他有力氣大徹大悟，從此脫離婆羅門教，開創屬於他發現的修法。
Buddha's acceptance of goat's milk might seem like a simple thing. But once you analyze it, there are depth to it. He accepted his own body's request and turned his back on the traditional methods to become enlightened and left Brahmanism. He started a new Practice that he had discovered.
重新說一遍老故事， 想提出一個問號? 既然佛陀從身體的苦行裡走了出來，為什麼後代傳他修行方法的人第一步又走回老路，還是從否認身體做起? 一個你最親切的夥伴，除了善用它以外，絕對找不出任何原因，忽視它的存在。
I repeat an old story to raise a question. If Buddha rejected asceticism of the body to achieve enlightenment, why do his followers keep going back to it as the first step of the Practice? Why do they want to start by denying their body? Your body is your closest partner, other than to use it wisely, I cannot think of any reason to ignore its existence.
漠視身體的修法，像人格分裂，明明有身體，卻在身體外彷彿又存在一個自己，然後又拼命跟自己說 : 你是臭皮囊，你帶給我很多災難，我不要理你。
A Practice that ignores the body is like asking you to have multiple personalities. There is obviously a body, but then they keep wanting you to find another self outside of the body, while keep telling your body that it is a dirty bag; that it brings disasters and you don't want to have anything to do with it any more.
除非身體已撐不住，不然你是不會看看它，究竟怎麼了，一個宣說智慧解脫的宗教，要這樣撻伐身體，真不知情何以堪!
Unless your body is about to collapse, you will never look to see what happened to it. I do not understand why a religion that keeps talking about find release through wisdom would suppress the body.
修行是一連串思想一再得到昇華，進而達 到所謂徹悟。絕不是去榨擠身體，要求它給你全世界，你的身體脆弱時只是肉體，很容易被擊垮，絕不像工具般拆散了，沒事!
Practice is using thinking and more thinking to elevate yourself, and eventually reached enlightenment. It is not a method to squeeze your body to get the world. When you body is weak, it is only flesh and bones, can be easily defeated. It is not like a machine that can be taken apart without consequences.
你可以用很嚴格的命令，訓練身體，但是真理的獲得絕無法用嚴格的要求去達到{開悟}，徹悟是生命精華的累積，是從不間斷的多層次思考、現實磨練，眼界有無打開? 許多條件都符合下自然產生的境界，無法追求，卻可以培養，就看你給自己灌溉什麼?
You can use strict orders to train your body. But you can never obtain the Truth through strict orders. Enlightenment is achieved only through the accumulation of your life's essences that comes from continuous multi-faceted thinking, trials of the realities, your visions and many other conditions. It cannot be pursuit, but can be cultivated. It only matter what you are feeding yourself.
