我們必須如往昔那位印度婆羅門一般，以兩堆石子來訓練自己…直到最後只剩下白石子為止

"We must
train ourselves, as in the story of an Indian brahmin who began making two
piles of pebbles: he placed a white pebble in one pile for every positive
thought he had, such as faith and devotion, and a black pebble in the other
pile for every negative thought. At first most of his pebbles were black and
the white pebbles were few. Great regret overcame him when he realized that he
had such a huge amount of negative thoughts and so few positive ones. But as he
persevered—by developing antidotes, adopting positive acts, and rejecting
negative ones—the amount of white pebbles gradually increased, until the piles
of white and black pebbles were equal. Seeing that there were still many black
ones and fearing that negative thoughts would cast him back into samsara, he
trained his mind again and again, until at last there were only white
pebbles"
～Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
「我們必須如往昔那位印度婆羅門一般，以兩堆石子來訓練自己：每當信心、虔誠等善念生起，就在一邊擺放一粒白石子，而每當惡念生起，就在另一邊擺放一粒黑石子。一開始，他所擺放的石子大多是黑的，很少是白的。當他了解到自己竟然有這麼多的惡念，而善念卻如此少時，極大的悔改心讓他難以自抑。不過，由於他鍥而不捨地修持對治法，並且擇取善行、捨棄惡行，白石子漸漸增加，直到黑白石子的數量相當。此時，他看到黑石子依然還是很多，害怕這些惡念將使他再入輪迴，便一再修心，直到最後只剩下白石子為止。」
