【大紀元6月24日訊】
列子給伯昏無人表演射箭。他拉滿了弓，並在肘上放一杯水。當第一枝箭射出時，第二枝箭便上弦，第二枝箭射出時，第三枝箭又上弦。這時，他的身體就像雕像一般，動也不動。
伯昏無人說：「這仍是有心的射，不能算是無心的射。讓我們登上高山，站在岩石上，面臨百仞的深淵，看你能否射箭？」
於是，他們便登上高山，站在岩石上，面臨百仞的深淵。伯昏無人背對深淵，慢慢後退，直到腳跟有三分之二在外懸空，跟著，他就請列子上前。
列子嚇得伏在地上，冷汗由頭流到腳。
伯昏無人見他這樣，便冷冷地說：「最好的射手，能上窺青天，下看黃泉，放縱八方而神態不變。現這山上，你已驚慌目眩，你射中的可能極其微小。」
The Perfect Shot
Lie Zi was showing Bohun Wuren his skill in archery. After drawing his bow, he balanced a glass of water on his elbow. As soon as the first arrow flew off, the second arrow was wound up. As soon as the second arrow flew off, the third arrow was wound up. During all this time, his body was as still as a statue.
“This is still an intentional shot, not quite the perfect shot yet,” said Bohun Wuren. “Let’s climb up the mountain and stand on the precipice overhanging the abyss. We’ll see if you can shoot!”
So they climbed up a high mountain and stood on the precipice overhanging the abyess. With his back facing the abyss, Bohun Wuren slowly stepped back until two thirds of the soles of his feet were hanging over the brink. He then invited Lie Zi to do the same.
Lie Zi was so terrified that he held fast to the ground, sweating from head to foot.
Bohun Wuren looked at him and observed coolly, “The best archer can look up at the blue skies, down the nether world, to the eight poles of the earth and still keep his air. Here on this mountain, you’re already panicking, your chanecs of hitting your mark are very slim.”
