The general's antique


A general was toying with his prized antique.  The cup almost shattered into pieces when he accidentally dropped it.

he thinks: I have commanded tens of thousands of troops to risk my life in battle, and was never afraid.  Why then did I become so agitated over a small cup?

He finally realized that it was attachment that brought about the fear of loss, thus causing him anxiety. Hence he flipped the cup over his shoulder and smashed it.


commentary:
Where there is knowledge and feeling of gain and loss, there is pleasure and sorrow.  To go beyond good and bad, gain and loss is true fortune.



有一位将军,在家中把玩他所珍藏的古玩杯子。
杯子从他手上滑落下来,几乎被摔破。
将军: 好险!
将军这才发现自己已经吓得满头大汗,心跳不止。
将军想到: 我带领千万大军,出生入死,都未曾害怕过,为何今天为了一只杯子就惊吓成这个样子?
终于他悟通了,有了爱憎之心才使他惊骇,于是他随手就把杯子打破。

评注:
有了得失之志,有了得失之心,就有了悲欢喜乐。应该要超越善恶、得失,随缘即是福。
