I Am Sorry It Is My Fault 对不起 都是我的错

有一個故事……… 在一座高山上有兩間廟， 甲廟的和尚們經常吵架， 互相敵視，生活痛苦 .

This Is The Story..... There Were Two Temples High Up In The Mountain, The Monks Living In Temple A We re At Loggerheads. Their Lives Were Miserable.

乙廟的和尚們 , 常一團和氣 , 個個笑容滿面 , 生活快樂 . The Monks Living In Temple B Were A Happy Lot. Every Monk Carried A Smiling Face.

甲廟的住持便好奇的前往請教乙廟的小和尚： ‘ 你們為什麼能讓廟裡永遠保持愉快的氣氛呢？’ 小和尚回答：’因為我們常做錯事 .’

The Abbot Of Temple A Felt Curious . He Consulted A Samanera Of Temple B: ‘ How Do You All Manage To Maintain The Harmony In The Temple All The Time?’ The Samanera Replied:’ It Is Because We Always Make Mistake.’

As The Abbot Was Feeling Baffled, He Saw A Monk Walking In Hastily. He Stepped Into Shrine; Slipped And Fell. 甲廟住持正感疑惑時， 忽見一位和尚匆匆由外歸來， 走進大廳時…不慎滑了一跤，

正在拖地的和尚立刻跑了過去 , 扶起他說：‘對不起 ! 都是我的錯， 把地擦的太濕了 !’

A Monk Who Was Mopping The Floor Immediately Went Over To Help Him To Get Up And Said: ’ I Am Sorry, It Is My Fault Making The Floor So Wet.’

站在大門口的和尚， 也跟著跑進來帶著歉意說： ‘對不起！都是我的錯， 沒有告訴您大廳正在拖地 .’ Another Monk Who Was Standing At The Doorway Rushed Inside And Said Apologetically: ‘ I Am Sorry, It Is My Fault. I Did Not Warn You Somebody Is Mopping The Floor.’

被扶起的和尚則愧疚 自責的說： ‘ 都是我的錯， 只怪我自己不小心， 走路太匆促了 !’

The Monk Got Up ; Feeling Bad For His Own Carelessness, Said: ’ I Am Sorry, It Is My Own Fault. I Should Be More Mindful When Walking.’

前來請教的甲廟住持看到這一幕， 心領神會， 他已經知道答案了 ! 您知道了嗎？ Seeing All These, The Abbot Who Came For Advice Was Awakened And Found The Answer. Do You Know His Answer ?

小故事， 大道理 認錯未必是輸， 認錯能表現出個人修養， 反省自己激勵向上， 甚至可以化暴戾為祥和。

Moral Of The Story Admitting Mistake Is Not Defeat, It Shows Cultivation, It Could Inspire A Person To Progress It Could Also Transform Hostility To Harmony.
