One day at lunch, the disciples found that all
the dishes were made of tofu. Steamed tofu, boiled tofu, fried tofu, and
tofu soup. They asked the chef monk, "Why is there nothing but tofu on the
table?"
Chef monk asked in return, "Who was thinking of tofu recently?"
Four or five disciples admitted their thoughts were on tofu yesterday.
Chef monk said, "The Master often warned us: in the monastery, do not let
your thoughts wander carelessly. All day long the temple was receiving offerings
of tofu!"
豆腐的教训
有一天中午用斋时，
大众法师觉得很奇怪，
满桌都是豆腐，蒸煮炒炸样样都有。
就问典座师：
为什么满桌都是豆腐？
典座师反问：
是谁想吃豆腐？
一问之下，
有四、五位师兄弟，昨天都起过这个念头。
典座师说：
师父常告诫我们，
在道场，不要乱起心动念，
使得大寮一整天，都是收到豆腐。
注──
丛林道场称厨房为“大寮”
负责大寮、掌厨的执事称为“典座”。
