法語 14 - 故事六:《最後一瓶水》

本週法語如下:

菩提之道一方面要有福德,一方面要有智慧。福德就 是善法,修了善法而不執著善法、修了慈悲而不執著慈悲,無我相、無人相,這就是智慧。有了智慧,菩提心就現前。

「The bodhi path is a path of merit as well as wisdom.  Merit is doing good deeds.  Wisdom is doing good deeds and cultivating compassion without attachment, without the notions of self and others. With wisdom, the bodhimind will manifest.」

🪷 故事六:最後一瓶水

Story 6: The Last Bottle of Water


【中文故事開始|The Story Begins】

暑假的志工服務隊來到了偏遠山區,幫忙修繕一所年久失修的圖書館。
During summer break, a volunteer team traveled to a remote mountain village to help renovate an old library.

那天太陽火辣辣地照著,空氣像烤箱一樣悶熱。志工們揮汗搬書、刷油漆、鋪地板。
The sun was blazing that day, and the air felt like a giant oven. Volunteers were sweating as they carried books, painted walls, and laid down new flooring.


到了下午三點,大家的水幾乎都喝光了,只剩下一瓶冰涼的礦泉水,放在公共桌上。
By 3 p.m., everyone’s water bottles were nearly empty. Only one cold bottle of mineral water was left on the shared table.

正當大家口乾舌燥時,一位志工弟弟無聲無息地拿起那瓶水,快步走向帳篷。
Just as everyone was parched, a younger volunteer quietly picked up the bottle and walked away toward the tents.

有人小聲嘀咕:「怎麼他就自己拿走了?他不渴,還喝汽水呢。」
Someone whispered, “Why did he take it? He was drinking soda earlier. He doesn’t even look thirsty.”


幾分鐘後,那位志工回來了——手上拿著空瓶和一條濕毛巾。
A few minutes later, the boy returned—with an empty bottle and a damp towel.

原來,他把水倒在毛巾上,送去給剛剛中暑的老奶奶降溫用。
It turned out, he had used the water to wet the towel and help cool down an elderly villager who had just suffered from heat exhaustion.

大家一時愣住,沒人再說話。有人低頭,有人默默走去幫忙奶奶擦汗。
Everyone fell silent. Some looked down. Others quietly joined to help wipe the sweat from the old lady’s forehead.

📣 思考時間 Reflection Time

🔹 當你誤會別人的時候,會有什麼感覺?你會願意主動道歉或補救嗎?
🔹 How do you feel when you misjudge someone? Are you willing to apologize or make amends?

🔹 為什麼那位弟弟沒有解釋,也不生氣?他做對的事,卻默默承受誤解。你能做到嗎?
🔹 Why didn’t the boy explain himself or get upset? Can you do the right thing even when misunderstood?

法語內容故事情節呼應
福德=善法志工弟弟用水幫助老奶奶,行的是慈悲之善。
不執著善法他不解釋、不標榜自己善行,甘願被誤解。
無我相、無人相沒有強調自己「做了好事」,也沒有期待「別人感謝」。
智慧明白什麼是真正需要幫助的對象,做出最有意義的選擇。
菩提心現前那份無聲的善意與溫柔,就是菩提心在行動中顯現。

這個故事除了表達不執著於行善的名利,也適合用來引導青少年討論:

  • 被誤解時的心理反應

  • 無私付出的智慧

  • 如何練習「不為自己留下名字」的行善方式
