「弱水三千，只取一瓢飲」
(Flowing in thousands , only one swop of all the waters is taken to bear in my mind)
佛祖在菩提樹下問一人：在世俗的眼中，你有錢、有勢、有一個疼愛自己的妻子，你為什麼還不快樂呢? 此人答曰：正因為如此，我才不知道該如何取捨?
佛祖笑笑說：我給你講一個故事吧。某日，一遊客就要因口渴而死，佛祖憐憫，置一湖於此人面前，但此人滴水未進。佛祖好生奇怪，問之原因。答曰：湖水甚多，而我的肚子又這麼小，既然一口氣不能將它喝完，那麼不如一口都不喝。
講到這裡，佛祖露出了燦爛的笑容，對那個不開心的人說：“你記住，你在一生中可能會遇到很多美好的東西，但只要用心好好把握住其中的一樣就足夠了。弱水有三千，只需取一瓢飲。"
Buddha ask a man under a peepul : Everyone thinks you are a rich, powerful man, and you have a lovely wife, why are you not happy?
The man answer: Just because of this, I do not know how to make a choice.
The man answer: Just because of this, I do not know how to make a choice.
Buddha smile and say: I will tell you a story.
One day a visitor would die due to thirst. Buddha pitied him and set a lake in front of him. However, he didn't drink at all. Buddha was so curious about the reason. "The volum of lake is too great and my belly's capacity is small. Now that I cannot drink them all, I'd rather not to drink at all." the visitor answered.
Talking about here, Buddha reveals a bright smiling face,and says to that unhappy man: "Keep in mind that you may possess wonderful things in life, yet only have to cherish one of them. Flowing in thousands , only one swop of all the waters is taken to bear in my mind."
我無法體會"十年修得同船渡，百年修得共枕眠"是怎樣的一種漫長。但我相信：愛，不僅需要用心尋找，更需要守侯。真正的愛情，需要兩個人用一生固守。滾滾紅塵中，兩顆心互動、磨合，從最初的靈犀一動到最終的渾然一體，這也是兩個靈魂不斷糾纏於吸引和排斥、疏離和親近的過程。這是一個非但不輕鬆而且可以說非常艱辛、漫長的過程。
Perhaps, I can not understand that "Decade’s hardships in the world could be exchanged for an occasion while they travel on ship. Century’s tribulations on earth could be in return for the marriage of the two. " is what kind of endless love relationship. However I believe firmly: Love needs to be searched diligently and be fostered. True love needs two persons to stick with their lives.
In billow human society, two hearts are interactive, adjust, and from original crush to final integrated sprit. This is also the perceduce which two souls are pestered ceaselessly from attracting to repellent and from aloof to close. This is far from easy and a difficult and long process.
不在乎天長地久，只在乎曾經擁有！一壺好酒，數碟時令小菜，與三五家人或知己摯友，圍坐在石桌旁，把酒問青天，豈不人生一大快事？然而這份愜意，世間又有幾人能共享？
