Q31: Venerable Sir, what is a yogi expected to be aware of when sitting or lying?

問：31 尊者，禪修者在坐或臥的時候要覺知什麼？

When sitting, just note 「sitting, sitting」 continuously. If it is boring and monotonous, since it is a single object, then a prominent touching point should be added to it, noting 「sitting, touching; sitting, touching.」 Or you can note 「rising and falling」 of the abdomen instead, focusing on the sensation of the air-element characterized by stiffness,movement.Similarly with lying down.

坐的時候只是連續觀照「坐、坐」，如果因為是單一所緣而覺得無聊和單調，可以加進來一個顯著的觸點，觀照「坐、觸，坐、觸」。或者你可以代之以觀照腹部的「起與伏」，專注在風元素的感覺上，緊繃、移動是其特徵。臥時觀照與此類似。
