《美食祈禱和戀愛》Chapter 77 (175):瑜伽解開心靈封印
"Don't you get tired?"
"你不累嗎？""But this is my profession," he tells me. "This is my hobby—medicine man."
"這是我的工作，"他告訴我，"也是我的嗜好——做一位藥師。"A few more patients come throughout the afternoon, but Ketut and I get some time alone together on the porch, too. I'm so comfortable with this medicine man, as relaxed as with my own grandfather. He gives me my first lesson in Balinese meditation. He tells me that there are many ways to find God but most are too complicated for Westerners, so he will teach me an easy meditation. Which goes, essentially, like this: sit in silence and smile. I love it. He's laughing even as he's teaching it to me. Sit and smile. Perfect.
整個下午又來了幾位病患，但賴爺和我也抽空單獨一起待在陽臺。和這位藥師的相處十分自在，就像和自己的爺爺一樣輕鬆。他給我上第一堂巴釐禪修課。他告訴我，尋找神的方式有許多種，但對西方人而言多半太過複雜，因此他要教我一種簡單的禪修法。基本上像是這樣：靜坐微笑。這我喜歡。他在教我的時候也在笑着。靜坐微笑。好極了。
"You study Yoga in India, Liss?" he asks.
"小莉，你在印度學瑜伽？"他問。"Yes, Ketut."
"是的，賴爺。""You can do Yoga," he says, "but Yoga too hard." Here, he contorts himself in a cramped lotus position and squinches up his face in a comical and constipated-looking effort. Then he breaks free and laughs, asking, "Why they always look so serious in Yoga? You make serious face like this, you scare away good energy. To meditate, only you must smile. Smile with face, smile with mind, and good energy will come to you and clean away dirty energy. Even smile in your liver. Practice tonight at hotel. Not to hurry, not to try too hard. Too serious, you make you sick. You can calling the good energy with a smile. All finish for today. See you later, alligator. Come back tomorrow. I am very happy to see you, Liss. Let your conscience be your guide. If you have Western friends come to visit Bali, bring them to me for palmreading. I am very empty in my bank since the bomb."Eat, Pray, Love
"你可以練瑜伽，"他說，"但瑜伽太難了。"此時，他把自己扭曲結成一團蓮花坐，臉則扭曲成滑稽、罹患便祕的模樣。而後他放鬆下來，笑着說："練瑜伽爲什麼看起來總是那麼嚴肅？臉這麼嚴肅，會把好能量嚇跑的。禪坐只需要微笑。臉微笑，心微笑，好能量就來找你，驅走髒能量。甚至讓你的肝臟微笑。今晚在旅社練習吧。別太急，別太費勁。太嚴肅會讓自己生病。微笑能喚來好能量。今天到此結束。回頭見。明天再過來。我很高興見到你，小莉。讓你的良知引導你。假如你有朋友來巴厘島，請他們到我這兒看手相——爆炸案後，我的銀行現在很空。"
