在生活中,人们总免不了有一些烦恼。有些烦恼来自外界,但更多的源于内心,这就是所谓的“自寻烦恼”。从前,有一个和尚,每次坐禅都产生一种幻觉:一只大蜘蛛在跟他捣乱,怎么赶也赶不走。他把这件事告诉了师父,师父让他下次坐禅时拿一支笔,等蜘蛛来了在它身上画个记号,看坐禅结束后能不能找到它。和尚照办了,在蜘蛛身上画了一个圆圈。蜘蛛走后,他开始安然坐禅,等坐禅结束,睁开眼睛一看,那个圆圈原来就画在自己的肚皮上。由此可见,天下本无事,庸人自扰之。 In life, people always have some trouble. Some troubles come from the outside world, but more from the heart, this is the so-called “troubles ”. Once upon a time, there was a monk who had an illusion of meditation every time: a big spider was making trouble with him. He told the master about the incident. Master asked him to take a pen at the next meditation. The spider came to draw a mark on it and could not find it after the meditation was over. The monk did it, drawing a circle on the spider. After the spider left, he began to sit quietly in meditation and sat down at the end of his meditation. He opened his eyes and saw that the circle was originally painted on his belly. This shows that the world is nothing, mediocre bother.
