《心田上的百合花》原文
在偏僻遥远的山谷里,有一个高达数千尺的断崖。不知道什么时候,断崖边上长了一株小小的百合。百合刚刚诞生的时候,长得和杂草一模一样。但是,它心里知道自己并不是一株野草。
它的内心深处,有一个内在的纯洁的念头:“我是一株百合,不是一株野草。唯一能证明我是百合的方法,就是开出美丽的花朵。”
有了这个念头,百合努力地吸收养分和阳光,深深的扎根,直直地挺着胸膛。终于在一个春天的早晨,百合的顶部结出了第一个花苞。
百合的心里很高兴,附近的杂草却很不屑,它们在私底下嘲笑着百合:“这家伙明明是一株草,偏偏说自己是一株花,还真以为自己是一株花,我看它头顶上结的不是花苞,而是头上长瘤了。”
公开场合,它们则讥讽百合:“你不要做梦了,即使你真的会开花,在这荒郊野外,你的价值还不是和我们一样。”偶尔也有飞过的蜂蝶鸟雀,它们也会劝百合不用那么努力开花:“在这断崖边上,纵然开出世界上最美的花,也不会有人来欣赏呀!”百合说:“我要开花,是因为我知道自己有美丽的花;我要开花,是为了完成一株花的庄严使命;我要开花,是由于自己喜欢以花来证明自己的存在。不管你们怎样看我,我都要开花!”
在野草的鄙夷下,野百合努力地释放内心的能量。有一天,它终于开花了。它那灵性的白和秀挺的风姿,成为断崖上最美丽的风景。这时候,野草与蜂蝶再也不敢嘲笑它了。
百合花一朵一朵地盛开着,花朵上每天都有晶莹的水珠,野草们以为那是昨晚的露水,只有百合自己知道,那是极深沉的喜欢所结的泪滴。
年年春天,野百合努力地开花、结籽。它的种子随着风,落在山谷,草原和悬崖边上,到处都开满洁白的百合花。
几十年后,远在百里外的人,从城市,从乡村,千里迢迢赶来欣赏百合开花。许多孩童跪下来,闻嗅百合花的芬芳,许多情侣互相拥抱,许下了“百年之好”的誓言;无数的人看到这从未见过的美,感动得流泪,触动内心那纯净温柔的一角。那里,被人称为“百合谷地”。
不管别人怎样欣赏,满山的百合花都谨记着第一株百合的教导:“我们要全心全意默默地开花,以花来证明自己的存在。”
希望我们每个人的心田上都有一株百合花。
The Lily in the Heart
In a remote valley,a cliff towers up to thousands of feet in height. A tiny lily appears on the bluff in an unknown time. The lily looks the same as the weed when it was born. However,it knows deeply that it is not a weed.
In its heart,there is a pure thought:“I am a lily,not a weed. The only way to prove I am a lily is to open beautiful flowers.”
At the very thought of this,the lily makes great efforts to absorb nutrients and sunlight. While striking its root deep into the soil,the young plant pushes its new shoot aboveground. Finally,in a spring morning,it gives birth to its first bud.
The lily is very happy,but the nearby weeds show a disdain for this and make fun of it privately:“This guy is obviously a grass,but he insists in saying that he is a flower. In my opinion,it is not a bud but a tumor on the top of his head.”
In public,they laugh at him by saying:“Don’t daydream any more. Even though you could really come into blossom in such a wild place,your value would be the same as ours!” Occasionally,some bees,butterflies or birds fly by and they also persuade the lily not to work so hard to bloom. “In spite of your most beautiful flowers in the world,nobody would come to this cliff to appreciate you! The lily answered:“I will bloom,because I know I can have beautiful flowers;I will bloom,because I want to accomplish the solemn mission of a flower;I will bloom,because I want to prove my existence with flowers. Now matter how you look at me,I will bloom!” Despite the disdain of the weeds,the wild lily tries its best to unleash its inner power. One day,it finally succeeds opening a flower,of which the spiritual white and elegant glamour made the most beautiful scenery on the cliff. Henceforth,weeds,bees and butterflies no longer dare to deride it.
More and more lilies are in full blossom. Every day,there are crystal water drops in the flowers which the weeds thought to be the dews of last night,while only the lily itself knows that they are tears from deep love.
Every spring,the wild lily tries hard to bloom and set seed. Along with the wind,its seeds fall in valleys,prairies and cliffs. Therefore,everywhere is white lilies.
Several decades later,people from city or countryside afar go a long way to appreciate the blossom of the lilies. Many children stand on their knees to sniff the fragrance of the lilies. And numerous lovers embrace and make a promise of “eternal love”. Besides,countless people are moved to tears for they have never seen such beauty and the lilies touch the inner corner of purity and blandness. Hence,gradually people begin to call this place “The Valley of Lilies”.
Whatever others’ appreciation could be,the lilies strewn across the mountain all keep in mind of the first lily’s words:“We should come into bloom silently with all our hearts and prove our existence with flowers.”
I hope each of us can have a lily in the heart!
