难得糊涂
[清]郑板桥
聪明难,
糊涂难,
由聪明而转入糊涂更难。退一步,
放一着[1],
当下心安。
非图[2]后来福报也。
注释:
[1]着:原指下棋时所走的一步,后引申为为某种目的采取的一步行动。
[2]图:谋划取得。
Difficult to be Mindless
Zheng Banqiao
It is difficult to be mindful,
It is more so to be mindless,
And most difficult for a mindful to be mindless.
Never mind to retreat!
Your mind will be at ease
If you do not expect the return for the good you have done.
