白隐慧鹤（Hakuin Ekaku,1685-1768或1686-1769），日本僧人 Japanese Monk、艺术 Artist 家和作家 Writer。人们通常尊称其为 “白隐禅师”。


白隐禅师素来受到邻里的称颂，大家都说他是位纯洁的圣者。
ZM Hakuin was praised by people of the neighbourhood, and they said he is a pure saint.

有一对夫妇，在他附近开了一家食品店，家里有个漂亮的女儿。
There was this couple who runs a food-stuff shop, and has a pretty daughter.

不料，有一天夫妇俩发现女儿的肚子无缘无故地大了起来。

However, one day the couple found that their daughter is pregnant without any reason.

这事使他们十分恼怒，便向女儿追问来由。

These made them very troubled, keep asking the daughter for explanation.

女儿起初不肯招认那人是谁，但经一再苦逼之后，她终于说出了白隐的名字。
At first the daughter refused to tell but after being pressured persistently, she finally gave the name of Hakuin.

她的父母怒不可遏，立刻去找白隐理论，但这位大师至始至终只有一句话：“就是这样吗？”
The parents were very angry, and immediately seek out Hakuin, but the reply was these words: Is it like this?

孩子生下后，夫妇俩把他送给了白隐。
When the child is born, the couple sent the child to Hakuin.

这时白隐名誉扫地，人人对他嗤之以鼻。

This ruined Hakuin's reputation, people sneered at him.

但他并不介意，只是非常细心地照顾孩子。

He was not bothered, only care for the child meticulously.

他四处行乞，为婴儿求取所需的奶水和生活用品。
He went around begging for the child's needs like milk and stuff for daily life.

一年之后，这位没有结婚的妈妈再也忍受不了内心的折磨，终于向父母吐露了真情，原来孩子的亲生父亲是一名青年。
After a year, the unmarried mother can't withstand the torture of her innermost heart, finally revealed the truth that the child's father is a youth.

女孩的父母立即将她带到白隐那里，向他道歉，请他原谅，并将孩子带了回去。
The parents immediately went to Hakuin to apologise and asked for forgiveness, and brought the child back with them.

白隐无话可说，他只在交回孩子的时候轻声问道：“就是这样吗？”

Hakuin has nothing to said, handed over the child and lightly asked: Is it like this?

~~~~~~~~~~

Hahaha!

What did you learn from this story?

What did Hakuin practiced in the Dharma context?

The Truth will out eventually.

Who is right and who is wrong?

Remember 6th Zen Patriarch Hui-neng's : Not thinking of Good and not thinking of Evil?

Cheers all.
