真理是这样被消灭的

一天,古佛教无知和邪恶之神马拉带着他的随从在印度乡下穿行
在穿行期间,他看到一个男子在做着行走冥想。男子的脸因惊讶而发光。很明显,男子一定是看到了他面前地上的东西了。
马拉的随从看到男子脸上发出的光芒,就问马拉这个男子发现了什么。
马拉回答:“他发现了一个真理。”
“但那是邪恶之人!”他的一位随从惊呼道,“难道有人发现一个真理的时候你都不在乎?”
“是的,”马拉说。“至少我不烦恼。”
“可是为什么不烦恼呢?”随从刨根问底。
“因为……”马拉咯咯地笑着答,“他们一旦发现某个真理之后,通常就会立即从中找出一种信仰。”

killing truth.
One day Mara, who is the ancient Buddhist god of ignorance and evil, was traveling through the villages of India with his attendants.
Along the way, he noticed a man doing a walking meditation. The man's face was lit up in wonder. Apparently, the man had just discovered something on the ground in front of him.
Mara's attendants, noticing the glow emanating from the man, asked Mara what it was the man had discovered. Mara replied, "He has discovered a piece of truth."
"But evil one!" exclaimed one of his entourage, "Doesn't this bother you when someone finds a piece of the truth?"
"No," said Mara. "I am not troubled in the least."
"But why not?"insisted his attendants.
"Because..." replied Mara, chuckling..."Right after they discover some truth, they usually make a belief out of it."
