【大纪元6月24日讯】
列子给伯昏无人表演射箭。他拉满了弓，并在肘上放一杯水。当第一枝箭射出时，第二枝箭便上弦，第二枝箭射出时，第三枝箭又上弦。这时，他的身体就像雕像一般，动也不动。
伯昏无人说：“这仍是有心的射，不能算是无心的射。让我们登上高山，站在岩石上，面临百仞的深渊，看你能否射箭？”
于是，他们便登上高山，站在岩石上，面临百仞的深渊。伯昏无人背对深渊，慢慢后退，直到脚跟有三分之二在外悬空，跟着，他就请列子上前。
列子吓得伏在地上，冷汗由头流到脚。
伯昏无人见他这样，便冷冷地说：“最好的射手，能上窥青天，下看黄泉，放纵八方而神态不变。现这山上，你已惊慌目眩，你射中的可能极其微小。”
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."
