宇宙与世界
不完美的世界
佛从来就没有抱怨过人们所赖以生存的世界。他认为世界是不完美、无常和充满无知的,而不是邪恶和乖戾的。对于那些不易听从他的教诲之人,他总是心平气和,慈悲而怜悯。
——埃利奥特《佛教与印度教》
Unsatisfactory
world
Buddha was not
angry with the world. He thought of it as unsatisfactory and transitory
rather than wicked, as ignorant rather than rebellious. He troubled
little about people who would not listen to him and showed no nervous
irritability.
~Prof. Eliot,“Buddhism and Hinduism”
