"Don't you get tired?"
"你不累吗?"

"But this is my profession," he tells me. "This is my hobby—medicine man."
"这是我的工作,"他告诉我,"也是我的嗜好——做一位药师。"

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.
整个下午又来了几位病患,但赖爷和我也抽空单独一起待在阳台。和这位药师的相处十分自在,就像和自己的爷爷一样轻松。他给我上第一堂巴厘禅修课。他告诉我,寻找神的方式有许多种,但对西方人而言多半太过复杂,因此他要教我一种简单的禅修法。基本上像是这样:静坐微笑。这我喜欢。他在教我的时候也在笑着。静坐微笑。好极了。

"You study Yoga in India, Liss?" he asks.
"小莉,你在印度学瑜伽?"他问。

"Yes, Ketut."
"是的,赖爷。"

"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
"你可以练瑜伽,"他说,"但瑜伽太难了。"此时,他把自己扭曲结成一团莲花坐,脸则扭曲成滑稽、罹患便秘的模样。而后他放松下来,笑着说:"练瑜伽为什么看起来总是那么严肃?脸这么严肃,会把好能量吓跑的。禅坐只需要微笑。脸微笑,心微笑,好能量就来找你,驱走脏能量。甚至让你的肝脏微笑。今晚在旅社练习吧。别太急,别太费劲。太严肃会让自己生病。微笑能唤来好能量。今天到此结束。回头见。明天再过来。我很高兴见到你,小莉。让你的良知引导你。假如你有朋友来巴厘岛,请他们到我这儿看手相——爆炸案后,我的银行现在很空。"
