悉達多的流浪故事27

人與人之間的撞擊，即使意見不一樣，還是讓大腦起了不同的反應，悉達多開心的笑開懷，哦！去淨土，他想一想，去淨土居住應該不錯，也不知是不是自己一直在找尋答案，悉達多對去淨土，還沒產生興趣，倒是迦南多提出的終止是不可能的！讓悉達多有點焦慮。

人體的各個器官由維持器官的基本條件，食物、水、空氣組成，悉達多對著迦南多說著他的想法，可是食物、水、空氣裡面都沒有人體的成分，如果修學裡面能夠突破這些因素的限制，或者對這些因素的再加以認識，一定可以做些什麼？！只是到底能做些什麼？他自己也還不清楚。

迦南多也無法想像，離開維持人體需要的一切供給時，人體會怎樣？我可以試著分解這些因素，看有沒有可能突破自己對「人體」原先的認知，悉達多想著應該怎麼進入下一個階段的突破。

有了夥伴，即使意見不同，悉達多覺得至少有討論的對象，感覺踏實很多，那是他以前不知道的。

Episode XX VII

With regards to conflict and differences of opinion, Siddhartha now reacted differently, bringing a smile of joy to his face. As for being reborn in the pure land, while it sounded all very good, he wasn’t sure it was the answer he was looking for. Thus he wasn’t interested in being reborn in the pure land, and wondered if it was even possible.

Siddhartha attentively listened as Jananda taught that the organs of the body are supported by such factors as food, water, and air. Yet he wondered how this could be, since there was no body to be found in any of these factors, nor did he see any benefit in gaining a deeper understanding of these factors or transcending them.

Nor was Jananda able to say what would happen to the body if it lacked the elements that support it. Soon Siddhartha decided to try to analyze these factors in an attempt to break through his current understanding of the body. Thus he began to think about how he might enter the next stage of his search.

Siddhartha found that discussing things with a like-minded companion, even one with different views, helped him to clarify his ideas, which is something he lacked while living the life of a solitary wanderer.
