同是一条溪中的水,可是有的人用金杯盛它,有的人却用泥制的土杯子喝它。那些既无金杯又无土杯的人就只好用手捧水喝了。水,本来是没有任何差别的。差别就在于盛水的器皿。君王与乞丐的差别就在于“器皿”上面。只有那些最渴的人才最了解水的甜美。从沙漠中走来的疲渴交加的征人是最知道水的滋味的人。
The same is the water in a stream, but some people use gold cups to hold it, and some people drink it in clay cups. Those who have neither a gold cup nor a cup of earth have to hold the water with their hands. Water does not have any difference. The difference lies in the vessels that hold water. The difference between a king and a monk lies in the “instrument.” Only those who are most thirsty know the sweetness of water best. Trapped people from the desert are the ones who most know the taste of water.
