--- title: 平常心 Normality - 直取快捷方式 Taking a Shortcut description: "Normality平常心" --- Normality平常心 Luangpor Teean(隆波田) 著 三摩地學會‧菩璋 譯 Part 2: Walking The Path 第2篇:行道 2-1. Taking a Shortcut 直取快捷方式 Today the monks, novices and laypeople are meeting here in order to study the method to develop meditation. We』re not interested in anything else because we』ve done it already. For example, making merit, being generous, upholding precepts and doing tranquility-meditation. As for insight- meditation, we』ve heard about it, but we don』t yet understand, or we』ve only practiced it a little bit. Therefore, before we start practicing insight-meditation, we have to rely on listening and reading from scriptures before we understand what tranquility- meditation is and what insight-meditation is. 今天,比丘、沙彌和在家眾為了要修學禪修的方法而聚在這里,我們對其他方法都不感興趣,因為那些我們早已經學過了。例如:作功德、布施、持戒和修止禪。至于觀禪,我們也有聽過,但是我們還沒真正了解,或者只是練過一點點而已。因此,在我們開始練習觀禪之前,我們必須先聽聞及閱讀經典,才能明白什麼是止禪?什麼是觀禪?
