Q23: Venerable Sir, is there any kind of pain or discomfort which belongs to the practice itself? If so, how do we have to deal with it?

Yes, you may experience several kinds of unpleasant sensations like itchiness, heat, pain, ache, heaviness, stiffness and so on when your concentration gets very strong. They tend to disappear once you stop practice. But, they may reappear if you resume your practice. Then, that is surely not a disease or illness, but just unpleasant sensation which belongs to the practice. Don』t worry. If you keep on noting, eventually it will fade away.

是，當定力變得很強時，你可能經歷好幾種不愉快的覺受如癢、熱、疼、痛、重、繃等等，一旦你停止禪修它們就趨于消失，但當你重新開始禪修它們可能再現。此時確實不是生病，而只是屬于禪修的不愉快覺受，不要擔心。如果你不斷觀照，它們最終會消失。
