Health is the best gain ; contentment is the best wealth . a trusty friend is the best kinsman ; nibbana is the supreme bliss 健康是最好的得著,知足是最好的財富;可靠的朋友是最好的親友、涅?是最高無上的樂土。
When the buddha used the image to explain nibbana to the indian brahmans of his day , he bypassed the question of whether an extinguished fire continues to exist or not , and focused instead on the impossibility of defining a fire that doesn ' t burn : thus his statement that the person who has gone totally " out " can ' t be described 當佛陀用這個比喻對當時印度的婆羅門人士講解涅盤之意時,繞過了熄滅之火是否繼續(xù)存在的問題,而是側重于說明,要定義不燃之火是不可能的:因此他關于一個徹底“熄滅”者的稱謂,也是不可描述的。
