Part 2: Walking The Path 第2篇：行道

2-1. Taking a Shortcut 直取快捷方式

2-1-2. Developing Awareness Gives Rise to Wisdom 培養覺知‧生起智慧

Talking from my experience, it is not necessary to sit with the eyes closed in order to develop awareness. I've done the method of sitting with closed eyes and wisdom didn't arise. But doing the new method, my method, wisdom did arise and I got the feeling that is in accordance with the texts. Some people may think that my method is new because they've never heard it before but actually it is as old as the Buddhist teachings.

就我的經驗來說，用閉眼坐禪的方式培養覺知是沒有必要的，我已經修學過閉眼坐禪的方式，但是並沒有生起智慧。但是修學新方法之後——我的方法，智慧確實生起了，而且我如實了知這是與經典吻合的。有些人可能認為我這個是自創的新方法，因為他們從沒聽說過，但是，實際上這方法是和佛陀的教導一樣的古老啊。

A. Arouse The Body To Always Feel And Be Awake 喚醒身體，令恆感知與覺醒

The development of awareness that I'm talking about and have been doing is done as follows. We can either sit down on the floor or on a chair, and it can even be done in the lying or standing-position. Catch with your awareness the movements of the hands; turn the hand up, turn the hand down, raise the hand, lower the hand. Be aware of each posture. Do this often. This is the coarse way of developing awareness. Simply speaking, walking or lying down, or whatever you may be doing. Know it. Everyone can do this method, no matter what religion one believed in. It can be practiced by all. People of all nationalities can do it because everyone has a body and mind. All religions teach the same thing: to abandon what is bad and to do what is good.

我準備要談的以及我向來修學的「培養覺知之道」是這樣的：我們可以坐在地板或椅子上，甚至可以躺著或站著練習，重點是：保持覺知在手部的動作——翻起手掌、翻下手掌、舉起手臂、放下手臂，覺知每個姿勢的動作，要經常這樣練習。這是「培養覺知」比較粗淺、初步的方法——就單純地只是在說話、走路、躺臥或做任何事的時候，覺知它(身體的動作)！每一個人都可以練習這方法，不管你信仰什麼宗教，所有的人都可以練習。不管你是哪一國人也都可以練習這方法，因為——每個人都有一個身體和心。所有宗教都教導同樣一件事：修練身心，止惡行善。

B. Arouse The Mind To Always Feel And Be Awake 喚醒心靈，令恆感知與覺醒

Having developed awareness until one is skilled at it, catch the feelings in the mind with awareness; following whatever comes up, no matter what one is thinking. Know and see it. Keep watching your own thoughts continuously. Regardless of what you're doing, look at your own mind all the time, no matter what it is that you are doing – reading a book, writing, digging, cutting grass or bathing. Keep watch over your own mind all the time. What kinds of feelings are coming up? Satisfaction, dissatisfaction, worry, doubts, etc.; these things are all thoughts, objects. Watch over these thoughts and objects. Then we will see the various kinds of thoughts, such as gladness, sadness, desire to get, desire to not get, anger, hate, and so forth. They don't exist all the time. They arise and pass away, they change all the time. We are not glad or sad for twenty-four hours.

當培養覺知身體的動作達到熟練時，接著就要修學進一步的方法：覺知心里的感受。不管你正在想什麼，都要跟隨著內心生起的任何東西，要知道並且看見它(內心的活動)。不論你在做什麼，都要持續不斷地看著自己的念頭，不論你做什麼事——看書、寫字、挖洞、割草或洗澡，都要一直看著自己的心。要不斷地觀照自己的心，看看生起了什麼樣的感受？是歡喜、不歡喜、擔憂、疑慮……等等；這些東西全都是念頭，都是內心緣慮之物(所緣)，我們要觀照這些念頭和緣慮之物，這樣才能見到各種念頭，像是高興、悲傷、想要、不想要、生氣、憎恨…等等。它們不是一直都存在的，它們不斷生起、滅去，不斷地在變化。我們不會二十四小時都在高興或都在憂傷。

C. To Know And See According To Reality 如實知‧如實見

Change, arising-passing away, is what the Buddha showed to be impermanence, instability and non-selfhood. So don't follow moods. Following moods will give rise to suffering. We just watch there. As soon as something arises in a flash, know and see it. As soon as you see it, it will stop. The stopping is equivalent to destroying defilements.

變化和生滅就是佛陀所說的無常、苦及無我，所以，不要隨著情緒起鬨，跟隨著情緒只會引起苦惱。我們只是在一旁看著，只要一有什麼剎那生起，馬上知道並且看見它。只要你看見它，它就停了，這一停就等于消滅了煩惱。
