問32:尊者,如果禪修者發現觀照「起、伏」太容易或者起、伏之間有空檔,他該怎麼辦?
Q32: Venerable Sir, what should a yogi do, if or when he or she finds the observation of 「rising, falling」 too easy or a gap noticeable between them?

A yogi, adding the sitting posture to the 「rising, falling,」 should note three objects: 「rising, falling, sitting; rising, falling, sitting.」 He or she must be aware of 「sitting」 in the same manner as 「rising, falling.」 Even then if a gap is found in between, note four objects by adding a prominent touching point to it: 「rising, falling, sitting, touching.」 When lyingdown,note insimilarlyway:「rising, falling, lying, touching」,or 「rising, lying,falling,lying.」
禪修者應當在「起、伏」中加入坐姿,進而觀照三個所緣「起、伏、坐;起、伏、坐」。他/她應該以覺知「起、伏」的方式覺知「坐」。如果這樣還發現有空檔,加入一個顯著的觸點觀照四個所緣,「起、伏、坐、觸」。躺臥時,以類似的方式觀照「起、伏、躺、觸」,或「起、躺、伏、躺」。
