佛陀涅槃前,他跟我們一樣,會痛會餓,行住坐臥都跟一般人沒什麼不同,同時也深思真相。
The Path to Buddhahood is available to us precisely because Buddha was like us before Nirvana. If Buddha is a god, then we can only walk the path, but never able to reach the destination. But because Buddha is a man, we can follow his footstep and reach the world he told.
正是因為佛陀涅槃前跟我們都一樣,是人身,我們才能走他走過的路。如果佛陀是神,那我們是只能修道,而無法成道的,因為佛陀是人,所以跟隨他的腳步,才能走到他說的世界。
So don't worry about the supernatural or mystical parts of Buddhist Texts; those are not important to us. Let's worry about Buddha the human being, because that's how we find the path.
因此我們不用去鑽研佛經裡頭超自然或神秘的文字,這些都不重要。我們只需要跟一個叫「佛陀」的人。
