Q20: Venerable Sir, is it possible to bring about insight knowledge by observing the objects like going or right step, left step, which are known in

common sense to every body?

問20 ：尊者，觀察所緣如走或者左步、右步，這些在通俗的意義上盡人皆知，由此能引生觀智嗎？

You know the Ana-pana pratice, the observation of in-and-out breath. The object, 「inhalation and exhalation」 seems not to be observed, as it』s known by common sense to everyone. But no one dares to criticize like that. In the same way, it makes no sense if you criticize that mindfulness, concentration and insight knowledge cannot be developed by noting 「right, left」 which is compared with military training. The military training is taken for the purpose of sport or health, while the noting is used to develop mindfulness, concentration and insight knowledge. Ifyoureject thispartof thepractice,thatwill mean you are rejecting the teaching of the Buddha.

你知道修安般念即觀照出入息，對其所緣「入息與出息」的觀照，似乎並非如通俗意義上盡人皆知的那樣，但沒人敢像這樣批評。同理，如果你批評觀照「左步、右步」象軍事訓練所以不能培育正念、定力和觀智，這樣就毫無意義。軍事訓練的目的是為了鍛鍊或健康，而標記觀照是為了培育正念、定力和觀智。
