警醒

The word 『appamatto』 in the text means 『vigilant.』 This is also vital. In this meditation centre, the meditators are usually vigilant, never forgetting that they are striving for the realisation of the Dhamma. When they see an object, they note it with vigilance. When they hear, smell, taste, touch, or think, they are mindful of hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, or thinking. The slightest action or movement does not go unnoticed or unobserved. They keep their minds alert, never allowing heedlessness to get the better of them.

經文中的『appamatto』 意思是 『警醒』 。這同樣至關重要。在這個禪修中心，禪修者們是時刻警醒的，從未忘記他們正在不斷努力地去了知法。看到一個對象，他們警醒地注意它。聽到、嗅到、嘗到、觸到或想到，他們正念于聽到、嗅到、嘗到、觸到或想到。最細微的動作或移動也不會不被注意或不被覺知地溜走。他們的心保持警覺，絕不允許失念戰勝他們。
