悉達多的流浪故事24 Episode XX IV


悉達多的流浪故事24


靜止不動「入定」的肉體,讓身體需要的能量燃燒,降到最低點。

 

直到癱倒下來,才發覺肚子又開始抗議,在幾近最低點的燃燒裡,身體的感覺依然持續著。

 

而悉達多卻發現,經過「入定」的訓練,身體的感覺起了變化,那不再是一般靜坐後的寧靜而已,是一個小孩轉變成大人的觸覺,小孩的身體像被脫下來的衣服,不再適合穿在大人的身上,好奇妙的感覺啊! 悉達多驚奇的叫著,完全忘記肚子的叫聲。

Episode XX IV

While in samādhi, the body consumes very little energy.

It wasn't until he collapsed that Siddhartha realized that his stomach had begun to protest again, for even when in a state of suspended animation, his body still remained sensate.

Through his training in samādhi, Siddhartha’s sense faculties had changed. It wasn’t merely the sense of tranquility which comes from sitting in meditation. It was more like a child growing up and exchanging the clothes he had outgrown for those of an adult. “Amazing!” declared Siddhartha, completely forgetting the sound of his stomach.

Master Ban Ji
