So that Buddhist actually described silence to me as being like love—it's something that, instinctively, we all feel we want and need in our lives, but silence, like love, is a really strong medicine, and it can actually completely tear you apart.
所以那名佛教徒在與我談話時,將沉默形容為愛——這是我們本能上覺得自己的人生中需要且渴望的事物,但沉默也像愛一樣,是種非常強烈的藥物,並且能將人撕心裂肺。
