2-1-5. Summary Of The Shortcut 直取快捷方式的摘要

I’ll give you a few small reflections:

我來為你們快速做個回顧：

1. To be diligent in developing awareness in all postures: Turn the hand up, turn the hand down, raise the hand, lower the hand, walk back and forth, lean to the right and the left, blink the eyes, open the mouth, swallow saliva, breath in and out, fully feeling yourself doing it. This is called having Sati. It is equal to throwing sesame seeds into the abyss. When awareness is complete, wisdom arises to really know and see the following matters: Rupa-Nama, Rupa doing – Nama doing, Rupa disease – Nama disease, knowing instability, impermanence and non-selfhood, knowing convention, knowing religion, knowing Buddhism, knowing evil, knowing merit, really knowing! These are objects to know with real awareness and wisdom.

2. 在一切姿勢當中精進培養覺性：在翻起手掌、翻下手掌、舉起手臂、放下手臂、來回經行、斜向右邊及左邊、眨眼、開口、吞口水及吸氣呼氣時，全然覺知自己正在做的動作，這樣就是有正念，而且這如同丟芝麻粒進深淵里，必須一點一點累積成果。當覺性達到圓滿時，就會生起智慧而如實地知道並看到以下事物：色與名(Rupa-Nama, 即身與心)，身行、心行、身病與心病，進而知道苦(instability)、無常(impermanence)和無我，知道世俗法、宗教、佛教、善惡、功德等意義，而且是真正如實地知道！這些是要用真正的覺性和智慧去了知的東西。

3. Next, to work with the mind: Look at the mind with awareness. Whatever the mind thinks, immediately know it and conquer it. When we immediately know and conquer thought, this is called working with the mind.

2．其次，對治這顆心：要用覺性來看著心，不管心在想什麼，要立刻知道並降伏它。當我們能立刻知道並降伏念頭，這樣就是在對治心了。

3. Do it until you are nimble and swift, until greed, hatred and delusion stop arising. It is the calming and extinguishing of suffering in the mind. This type of suffering we can’t chase away as we would chase off a pig, a dog, a duck or a chicken. We must depend on the development of awareness and see our minds in order to deal with these types of defilements. If we don’t see our minds, we will be empty, similar to a pit or abyss that is never full. When we have awareness, it means it is full, it is no longer a pit or an abyss; and Lobha, Dosa & Moha don’t have a place to enter, because awareness is full.

3.你要持續練習直到覺性變得敏銳快捷，直到貪、瞋、癡不再生起，這樣就是心中苦惱的平靜與熄滅。這種苦惱我們無法像趕雞鴨狗豬那樣趕掉牠們；想要對治這類的煩惱，就必須培養覺性以及看見我們的心。假若我們不看見我們的心，覺性就會變得很空乏，像一個沒有填滿的坑洞或深淵；反之，當我們有了覺性，意指圓滿的覺性，它便不再像個坑洞或深淵，那麼貪、瞋、癡就無從滲入，因為覺性已圓滿了。

Whatever work we do, we do it with Sati/Panya. there is no delusion, only rightness. These types of defilements are ugly and worthy of getting fed up with. Whoever is a disciple of the Buddha with an eye to see the Dhamma will not have them lying around in his or her mind. they are afraid. Suppose we have defilements at a level of one-hundred percent. They slap our face one-hundred percent. When we see and understand them, they will gradually diminish. Then, when we try to become familiar with looking at our minds, the defilements will diminish increasingly, step by step. When it reaches one-hundred percent we’re rid of suffering. What is left is one-hundred percent happiness. Therefore, may you all try to practice and reach the real peace and happiness.

不管我們做什麼工作，都要帶著正念/智慧去做，沒有迷惑而完全正確如理。這些貪瞋癡煩惱是令人厭惡而應當厭離的，任何一位具有見法眼的佛弟子，絕不會讓這些煩惱住在心中，它們畏懼這些煩惱。假設我們有無止盡的煩惱，它們就會無止盡地打我們巴掌，而當我們能看見並了知它們，它們就會漸漸減少；那麼，當我們努力並熟練于看我們的心，煩惱就會逐步地減少，當覺性達到百分百圓滿時，我們就能滅苦，剩下的就是全然的快樂。因此，希望諸位能努力練習，得到真正的安祥與快樂。
