Once upon a time there was a miser. He hid his gold under a tree. Every
week he used to dig it up.
One night a robber stole all the gold. When the miser came again, he found
nothing but an empty hole.
He was surprised, and then burst into tears.All the neighbors gathered
around him.
He told them how he used to come and visit his gold.
"Did you ever take any of it out?" asked one of them. "No," he said, "I
only came to look at it." "Then come again and look at the hole," said the
neighbor, "it will be the same as looking at
the gold."
从前，有个守财奴将他的金块埋到一棵树下，每周他都去把他挖出来看看。
一天晚上，一个小偷挖走了所有的金块。 守财奴再来查看时，发现除了一个空洞什
么都没有了。
守财奴便捶胸痛哭。哭声引来了邻居
他告诉他们这里原来有他的金块。
问明了原因后，一个邻居问：“你使用过这些金块吗?” “没用过，” 他说，“我
只是时常来看看。”“那么，以后再来看这个洞，”邻居说，“就像以前有金块时一样。”
Both the fat foxes and the beautifully striped leopards inhabit in forests,
and stay in caves having a tranquil平静的 life.
They only come out at night and during the daytime they stay in caves
vigilantly警惕地. Even if they are very hungry and thirsty, they only go to
unfrequented places to look for food. They
never go beyond their bounds to compete with human. But they still
cannot survive the hunter's traps and snares. What fault do they have? It is
just the misfortune brought by their beautiful
furs and pelts.
身材肥大的狐狸和斑纹漂亮的豹子都栖息在山林中，住在岩洞里，生活过得非常宁静。
它们只在夜里出来活动，白天都趴在洞里，警惕性很高;就是饥渴的时候，也只到人
迹罕至的江湖之上去寻找食物，十人本分，不与人争;可是它们仍然免不了投入猎人的罗
网，它们有什么过失呢?只不过漂亮的皮毛带来的灾祸罢了。
After winning several archery箭术 contests, the young and rather boastful
champion challenged a Zen master who was renowned for his skill as an archer.
The young man demonstrated remarkable technical proficiency技术熟练 when
he hit a distant bull's eye on his first try, and then split that arrow with
his second shot.
"There," he said to the old man, "see if you can match that!"
Undisturbed, the master did not draw his bow, but rather motioned for the
young archer to follow him up the mountain.
Curious about the old fellow's intentions, the champion followed him high
into the mountain until they reached a deep chasm spanned by a rather flimsy
and shaky log.
Calmly stepping out onto the middle of the unsteady and certainly perilous
危险的 bridge ,the old maser picked a far away tree as a target, drew his bow,
and fired a clean, direct hit.
"Now it is your turn," he said as he gracefully stepped back onto the safe
ground. Staring with terror into the seemingly bottomless and beckoning abyss,
the young man could not force himself
to step out onto the log, no less shoot at a target. "You have much
skill with your bow," the master said, sensing his challenger's predicament,
"but you have little skill with the mind that
lets loose the shot."
A Brahmin, a member of the Hindu priest, had a great reputation for
holiness, and received many presents so that he became rich.
One day, he took a fancy to dress himself as a poor peasant.
In this attire服装, he went into the market place but no one saluted him
and no one gave him any presents.
The Brahmin then returned to his house and, dressing himself in rich
garments, once more set out for the market place.
This time, everybody saluted him and made way for him and many handed him
presents.
This was the usual custom when a holy Brahmin happened to make his
appearance in the market place. Once again, the Brahmin returned to his home
and changed his clothes.
Then, taking the rich garments, he set them up on a shrine near the market.
As he prostrates himself before them, cried continually: "O mighty
garments, you areesteemed above all else in this world."
The people gathered round in wonder. And in time came to worship the
clothes as this Brahmin was doing.
This custom has spread farther and farther. Now in many countries around
the world, trendy and fashionable people do the same thing, though not,
perhaps in the way as the Brahmin did.
