leave the time be…

    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 moring sit to the west to read; and in the after-noon 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 olk monk, "Master, you' re so masterly that I forget time with a switch of direc-tion and absorb myself in the lection."

  The old monk said, "whatever you do, only you leave the time behind can you focus on it completely."

无论做什么事，只有把时间放在身后，才能做到全神贯。
