1. 饭钵
1. 倘若他不是将佛看成同我不二的孩子;倘若他在那一刻受了俗世事理的束缚,他怎能快快乐乐地将肮脏的泥土,放进佛的饭钵之中呢?
Had he not treated the Buddha like another child equal to himself, had he been restricted by worldly conventions, how could he have happily placed the filthy dirt into the Buddha's bowl?
2. 我们的隐士打点着他稀少的财产--包括一个铜铸的神像,一串念珠,鹿皮垫,和一个黄铜饭钵--装进他的柳条箱里,单手提着,跨出房门,随后轻轻地把门关上。
Our hermit packed his wicker box with his sparse possessions-a god's image in copper, a rosary, the deerskin, and a little brass bowl. Carrying his box in one hand, he stepped out of the house, closing the door gently behind him.
