Time to Learn
A young but earned Zen student approached his teacher, and asked the Zen Master:
一位年轻而诚挚的禅宗弟子走近他的老师,向禅学大师问道:
"If I work very hard and diligently how long will it take for me to find Zen?"
“如果我非常刻苦勤奋地学习,要多长时间才能悟透禅的真义呢?”
The Master thought about this, then replied,"Ten years."
The student then said,"But what if I work very, very hard and really apply myself to learn fast---How long then?"
弟子又问:“但如果我非常、非常刻苦地投入学习以早成正果呢----那需要多长时间?”
Replied the Master,"Well, twenty years."
"But, if I really, really work at it. How long then?" asked the student.
“可是,如果我真的非常、非常努力地学习,需要多长时间呢?”
"Thirty years," replied the Master.
"But, I do not understand," said the disappointed student. "At each time that I say I will work harder, you say it will take me longer. Why do you say that?"
“这,我就有些不懂了。”有些失望的弟子说,“每次我都说更加努力,而你却说需要更多的时间。这是为何呢?”
Replied the Master, "When you have one eye on the goal, you only have one eye on the path."
大师答道:“如果你把一半的精力都倾注在结果上,那么你在过程中也只能付出一半的精力。”
