（校园广播稿）把时间抛在身后

[日期：2009-12-07]

The old monk often took the young monk to the hill outside the temple to recite the lection.

One day the young monk said to the old monk,"How slowly the time goes!"

The old monk said,"You can have a try like this---in the morning sit to the west to read; and in the afternoon sit to the east to read."

At the master's advice, the young monk recited the lection against the sun. By and by he neglected the passage of time.

The next day he told the old monk ,"Master, you're so masterly that I forget time with a switch of direction and absorb myself in the lection."

The old monk said,"Whatever you do, only you leave time behind you can you focus on it selflessly."

参考译文：把时间抛在身后

老和尚经常带着小和尚到寺院外面的山坡上诵读经文。

有一天，小和尚对老和尚说：“时间过得真慢呀！”

老和尚说：“你这样试试。上午，你面朝西边坐着读；下午，你面朝东边坐着读。”

小和尚照老和尚的话去做，背对着太阳诵读经文。渐渐的他就忽略了时间的快慢。

第二天，他对老和尚说，“师傅真高明，这一转换方向，我就忘记了时间，整个心思都浸在这经文里了。”

老和尚说：“无论做什么事，只有把时间放在身后，才能做到全神贯注，达到一种忘我的境界。”
