“Làm sao giải thoát? Thưa thầy.”
“Con hãy tìm thử coi ai trói mình!”
“Có ai trói đâu mà tìm.”
“Vậy thì giải thoát có cần nữa không?”

(*) Thơ dựa ý một truyện đạo:
LIBERATION
“How shall I get liberation?”
“Find out who has bound you,” said the Master.
The disciple returned after a week and said, “No one has bound me.”
“Then why ask to be liberated?”
That was a moment of enlightenment for the disciple who suddenly became free.
