佛陀是在一棵樹下開悟的,
不是在寺廟裡,他看著最後一顆星星在早晨的天空中消失。那顆星星慢慢地…慢慢地消失了。
前一刻它還在那裡,下一刻它已經不在了。
就在那一刻,佛陀自我的最後一個堡壘也消失了。
就像消融的晨星一樣,他的自我也消融了。佛陀就是在那一刻開悟的,在那一刻體認生命的宇宙法則。
老子、查拉圖斯特拉、穆罕默德,沒有一個人是在寺廟、教堂或清真寺裡開悟的。
清晨去看日出吧!
坐在夜空下看滿天的星星吧!
去吧!與樹木和石頭交朋友。
去吧!躺在河邊聆聽川流的聲音。
你就會越來越接近真正神的殿堂,
大自然才是真正的聖殿。」
—奧修
“Buddha became enlightened under a tree, watching the last morning star disappearing in the sky; not in a temple. The disappearing star, slowly slowly disappearing…One moment before it was there, and now it is no longer there. And in that moment, the last citadel of the ego, disappeared too. Just like the disappearing morning star, his ego disappeared too. That moment Buddha became enlightened. That moment he came to know the cosmic principle of life.
Lao Tzu, Zarathustra, Mohammed, not a single person has ever become enlightened in a temple, church or mosque. Go early in the morning to see the sunrise. Sit in the middle of the night watching the sky full of stars. Go, befriend trees and rocks. Go, lie down by the side of the river and listen to its sound. And you will becoming closer and closer to the real temple of God. Nature is the real temple.”— OSHO
