Once, when I was showering, I picked up the soap and smelled it, and suddenly it hit me: "Why can the nose know the smell?" I had the strong understanding that this is a cause-and-effect relationship. This is the only way it can be. The not-self nature of it just hit me so hard I was amazed. After the shower I went around to my brothers, saying "Do you know you can only smell with the nose?"

When I told my teacher about it, he said, "When you understand something, don't go around telling everybody, or they will think you are crazy."

有一天，我在洗澡，我拿起一块香皂并且闻了一下，突然一个想法惊到我：为什么鼻子知道香味？我知道这是一种因果关系。这是它存在的唯一方式。我震惊于这种无我的本性的撞击。洗澡后我回到同修旁边，说，你知道你只能用鼻子闻味道吗?

当我把这件事跟我老师说时，他说当你理解了什么时，不要跟别人到处说，否则他们会觉得你疯了。

个人注解：知道香味，是香味存在的唯一方式。鼻子闻到了，只是一种解释。
