自覺手冊 Manual of Self-Awareness 第三篇 障礙及解決之道 Part Three Obstacles and Solutions 昏沉 Drowsiness

Drowsiness

昏沉

If you feel sleepy while practicing, you should change to another kind of work, for example, weeding, washing your face, taking a bath, washing clothes. We should find a way to avoid the obstacle.

如果練習時覺得疲困，應該轉換另一種動作，例如：除草、洗臉、洗澡、或洗衣。我們應找個方法來避免障礙。

Calmness under Unawareness

寧靜(止禪)

Calmness under Unawareness is called Piti (rapture), clinging to calmness. This is an obstacle. The cultivating of self-awareness is not to obtain this kind of calmness, but always be aware of the movements.

沒有覺知的寧靜稱為喜(piti)，喜歡寧靜是修行的障礙，修習這方法不是要寧靜，而是要持之以恆的自覺與動作。
