佛与牛粪 传说有一次苏东坡拜访高僧佛印，两个人正谈的兴起，苏东坡突然披上佛印的袈裟问：“你看我像什么？” 佛印答：“像佛。”，然后问苏东坡：“你看老朽像什么？” 苏东坡正得意忘形，便大笑着说：“我看你像一滩牛粪！” 佛印笑了笑不再言语。 事后，苏东坡在得意之余，将此事告诉了苏小妹。不料苏小妹却兜头给他泼了一瓢冷水，“这下你可输惨了”，苏小妹说。苏东坡不解，问：“此话怎讲？”苏小妹答：“心中有何事物就看到何事物，佛印心中有佛，所以看你就是佛;而你心中有污秽之物，你看到的自然就是牛粪。” There is a legend about a time Su Dongpo visited the Zen master Foyin. Both of them were on the rise‚ Su Dongpo suddenly put on Foyin’s Buddha cassock and asked: "what do you think I am?" Foyin answered: “Like a Buddha.”
