他相信每個人皆會在路上找到自己的師父。 凡人的心，讓他貪戀人間煙火， 僧人的心卻讓他戒慎警惕， 在有情眾生之間擺盪。 ★本書為「信念不丹」主題套書之一，套書含：《燃燒湖》、《生命的衣裳》、《蓮花生大士要來了》、《達瓦，離家和回家》、《隱修僧與猴子心》、《夜夜夜魔》、《不丹的幸福廚房》。 我們每個人都有一顆「猴子心」，必須小心提防！他的老師總是提醒：你要堅守在這裡、此刻，別像猴子那般心神不定在樹枝間跳來跳去。但「這裡」又是哪裡？不丹享譽文壇作家昆桑．秋登（Kunzang Choden），繼《達瓦，離家和回家》之後，再次推出中文版新作，為我們述說一則有關「練心」的現代寓言。 遠方的歌帶來靈魂拷問 這本有趣的書，描寫一個心猿意馬的小僧人，決定跟隨自己的猴子心走出隱修深山，去尋找心中浮懸的答案，因遠方的歌更帶來靈魂的拷問，讓他強烈想問、想知道自己所生所長的一切。 那首歌將不丹二十個宗區名稱串連成歌詞，唱著：「如果你不知道這些地方，就不算屬於這裡。」觸動了他莫名的好奇與渴望。四、五歲就跟著師父上山，過著與世隔絕的生活，小僧人無法理解師父說「你屬於此時此刻」的意思，這對他來說太抽象了，他只能相信親眼所見、親身經歷的事情。於是這段曲折離奇的追猴之旅，成為萬丈紅塵花花世界，對他的肉體凡胎和修道之心的千錘百鍊。 呈現不丹社會的幽默反諷 凡人的心，讓他貪戀人間煙火、美食和歡樂時刻，而僧人的心卻讓他戒慎警惕，避免自己生出非分之想，掉入無止盡的欲望輪迴。書中透過他跌跌撞撞體驗入鄉隨俗，穿插荒誕不經、引人發噱的情節，如小型照妖鏡、萬花筒，呈現不丹社會的形形色色，成為全書的趣味亮點，也是作者對社會寫實的幽默反諷。 剛開始小僧人還謹記師父的吩咐，在即將迷失前趕快抓回猴子心，但卻因為一時好奇，被人連哄帶騙作了刺青、穿耳洞，還把頭髮染成五顏六色，大大超乎他本意，更糟糕的是，他迷路了，找不到回家的路。他痛哭流涕呼叫師父的時候，終於才明白，家，就是身心的最後歸屬，不是在外面任何地方。 此時此刻，即是無時無刻 他想起師父曾說：「你想屬於哪裡，屬於什麼？」語氣中有淡淡的憂傷：「但你還沒有想通這一點。」於是集中意志專心冥想，總算找到回家的路。當他三步併二步跑回山上的隱修處，大聲對師父說：「我回來了，這裡才是我應該待的地方。」神奇的是，離家前來不及喝的茶，竟然仍是熱的！故事又回到最早的隱喻：栓住猴子心的「此時此
