問11：尊者，禪修者如何通過觀照「起、伏」保持定與精進的平衡？

Noting 「rising and falling」 demands neither too much concentration as it is not a monotonous kind of object, nor excessive enthusiasm as it』s only two types of object to note.Thus, the balance can be kept between concentration and energy.

觀照「起、伏」既不需要過度的定力因為它不是單調類型的所緣，也不需要過度的熱忱因為只有兩種所緣需要觀照，因此能夠保持定和精進的平衡。
