Q4: Venerable Sir, what do we have to note when we start our practice? When going, for example, are we supposed to note the mind and body involved?

問4：尊者，當我們開始禪修的時候必須觀照什麼？例如，當我們走的時候，應當觀照所涉及到的身心嗎？

「Yatha-pakatam Vipassana-bhiniveso」 =「Vipassana stays with any obvious object」 it is said in the subcommentary on the Visuddhimagga. So, one is instructed to start his or her Vipassana by noting any obvious object; i.e., an object easy to note. You should not start with subtle or difficult objects thinking that you will accomplish the practice sooner rather than later. For example, when a student begins schooling, he should begin with easy lessons. He could not be given difficult ones. In the same way, you should start the practice with the easiest observations. The Buddha teaches the easy way: 「when going,」 for example, note 「going」. That』s it.

「Yatha-pakatam Vipassana-bhiniveso」=「內觀保持觀照任何明顯的所緣」，這是《清淨道論》複注所說。所以我們教導禪修者從觀照任何明顯的所緣開始內觀，即是從容易觀照的目標開始。你不能以為從微細或難于觀察的目標開始會更快地完成禪修而不是滯後。就如學生開始上學要從容易的課程開始，不能是艱難的課程。同理，你應當從最容易的觀照開始禪修。佛陀教你易行的方法，例如，「走之時」觀照「走」，就這麼簡單。
