故事 112：佛陀与苦修的婆罗门
佛陀在恒河岸行化。当时正值热季，烈日当空，酷暑难耐，人就像在火炉中一样。可是，他却看到一个奇怪景象只见不远处的沙滩上放着五盆熊熊燃烧的炭火，五盆炭火的中央蹲着一位婆罗门。他前胸后背都是汗，嘴唇也裂开了口，一幅非常痛苦的模样。
佛陀见此情景，走上前问道："这么热的天，为什么不找个阴凉处避暑，反而在太阳底下烤火？"
婆罗门抹了一把额头的汗珠，答道："我听说烤火有助于修习苦行，所以我每天都要烤一次自己，无论春夏秋冬，从不间断。你瞧，今天天气特别热，所以我更要把火烧得旺些，以求尽快修成正果。你不要耽误我的大事，请走开吧。"
佛陀听了，说："你烤了不该烤的东西。"
当时，婆罗门正在咬紧牙关忍受着极端痛苦，一听佛陀这么不以为然的口气，立刻火冒三丈，恶狠狠地说道："你说到底什么才是真正该烤的东西呢？"
佛陀说："你如果真想知道，那么我就告诉你：真正该烤的东西，是你那颗充满愤恨的心。"
有些人试图通过苦行去增加自己的修为，其实，真正能够提高修为的只能是内心深处的感悟。修行就好比牛拉车，如果车没有动，你应该用鞭子抽打牛，而不是鞭打车子。
（附原文：Buddha in the constant line of the river bank. That was when the hot season, hot sun, summer heat, just like people in the furnace. However, he did odd sight. I saw not far from the beach placed five pots of burning charcoal on five central basin coals squatting a Brahmin. His chest full of sweat drip back, cracked lips spoke, a very painful look.
Seeing Buddha, stepped forward and asked: "such a hot day, why not find a shade summer, but warming himself in the sun?"
Brahman wiped the sweat from his brow, replied: "I heard Roast ascetic easier to learn, so I'm here all day warming himself, regardless of seasons, and onward. you see, today the weather is particularly hot, so I put some fire in the Mong, in order to fruition as soon as possible. you do not . I wasted a major event please go away "
Buddha heard:" you should not bake bake something. "
At the time, Brahman is grit your teeth suffer extreme pain, a Buddha so dismissive tone, immediately hit the roof , said fiercely: "you say you in the end what is really the grilled things?"
the Buddha said: "Well, If thou really want to know, then I'll tell you: the real grilled things, is that you stars heart full of resentment. "
try to increase cultivation is not going to work through some external force, can really enhance the repair can only be deep inside sentiment. Practice is like trekking, if there is no progress, you should beat with a whip cattle, but should not have whipped the car.）
