EnglishSo this is Bhikuni, um, so in the sitting meditation her main object is rising and falling, and also the sound, and also she can notice the body sensation. Mm-hm. And also she— now the mind is more, uh, the rising-falling becomes clear to the mind.
EnglishAnd but the sitting longer, later in sitting meditation, awareness is easy to lost.
EnglishAnd then sometimes the, the lost awareness for a long time. Mm-hm. And so she's thinking, she's reflecting on the practice because of, uh, not too much— not skillful to the thinking. Not skillful of watching the thinking. So that's why I can— If you long time practice sitting, a little bit, maybe 30 minute, 30 minute often.
EnglishLater you need more checking, are you awake. Reminding. Mm-hm. More reminding, hmm. 嗯，还是说让你就是你在禅坐的时候，就坐到20分钟、30分钟的时候，呃，一定要提起检查。就是说一定要确认自己，看看有没有在觉知，有没有在觉知，这样时常就。 Reminding, reminding, reminding. Remind yourself. 嗯，提醒自己。 Because this is a problem, is someone he don't know the mind awareness, then he more aware the object, and slowly it's the effort less and less, he don't know.
EnglishHe don't know the mind what, the mind is working. If you long time the mind becomes slowly, slowly effort less, he don't know. That's why later and later the easy to lost. So that's why you need, you need to check your mind is aware or not, and reminding yourself. 就是当我们还不善于观心的时候呢，就是我们看的就是只看那个所缘嘛。然后呢，就是我们也不知道这个心的这个运作。所以慢慢的一直看着所缘的时候呢，其实就慢慢慢慢觉知力，就是精进力，各方面就慢慢少了。然后就很容易就是失去觉知。那这样的时候呢，我们就是一定要又回过来，你反过来检查一下这个心的运作。 And also this
Englishreminding is, uh,
Englishmake the guiding to see the knowing mind awareness more easier. Mm-hm. Guiding awareness. 还是说这个提醒还有一个很重要的一个，就是你可以看到这个心的，它的这种指向性和导向性。
EnglishAnd also that's reminding. Are you aware? Are you see clearly? How many object can you know? Like this. This is actually wisdom working. Yes. 嗯，就是这样子就是检查，啊你现在有觉知吗？你觉知到什么了？那这样其实也是一个智慧在工作嘛。嗯，就是主动。
EnglishAnd also the walking meditation. The Buddhic practice also, many time you need to check, are you aware? Asking the, just reminding enough. The mind more, more understanding that awareness coming or not. Mm-hm. Walking or not. More slowly the mind more notice. Mm-hm. Very often you need to. And daily activity also. 嗯嗯。还是说就是平常啊，还有日常生活中，呃，也是这样提醒自己。就时不时回过来，哎我现在有觉知吗？我在觉知吗？然后慢慢慢慢你因为你这样一直提醒以后，就慢慢开始了解，啊有没有在觉知心有，就更加容易认出就是觉知在不在。嗯。 And walking meditation, the main object is, uh,
Englishmoving of the legs. And also seeing, hearing, touching, and also the memory arise. And sometimes the thinking mind also can awake. Yes. Okay. Like this. And daily activities, uh, the mind is happy about the practice. And she likes, she likes mindfulness more and more.
EnglishAnd then, uh, when she's doing some actions and she remind herself. Mm-hm. Be aware. And then if the awareness lost, and then she remind herself again. Mm-hm. And then the stability of mind improve. Um, but the awareness of the mind, uh, is not skillful yet.
EnglishAnd now she reads, reads the, the 你是读才是书是吧？ 啊。 Yeah, reading Sayadaw books. And then the, she find the information is very important. And she's need more information. Mm-hm. So only you can see the word mind, mind is, don't know the mind is only thinking and feeling.
EnglishMm-hm. That's more obvious. All the time happening. Mm-hm. 还是说其实想和感受也是心嘛。其实这个很明显，因为一直在发生。 就是别的动机可能现在就是开始不断的涌现在自己心中。我想干这个，我想干那个，我想去这个，我想去那个。 The, the, the intention is, you know, intention already, yeah. 嗯，虽然说你已经知道动机了。 Mm-hm.
EnglishSo that's why she more happy about daily activity. The mind is more, can see the mind. Because of, at the, you have a action, then the, the mind need to be intention is more obvious. Mm-hm. That's why she more happy about daily activity. 嗯。还是说你更喜欢在日常生活中觉知，呃，可能就是因为，就是你因为有很多动作嘛。然后你又能看到这个动机。嗯，所以这样心就比较雀跃一些。 So more practice for daily activity.
EnglishMore practice daily activity. Then, then sitting time also you need more reminding. 嗯。就是在日常生活中多多的去训练。那同时呢，就坐禅的时候呢，多多提醒自己觉知。嗯。 Sitting time also intention helps, but this most stable intention. Because of not moving.
EnglishBut intention is all the time happening.
EnglishDon't move also help intention. Right? Yeah. 还是说那个，坐禅的时候其实也有动机，但这个动机呢，因为它是一直在，因为不动嘛。不动也是一种动机，对吧？你动也是个动机。但这个因为它持续的一直在，可能又比较不是很容易。 动机小。 嗯。 动机小。 So, so when you discover about when you sitting time, what intention you have?
English啊，才是给你一道作业题啊。就是让你在坐禅的时候检查，呃，一共有多少种动机。 嗯嗯。 好。我想坐，我想坐直，我想调整身体。嗯。 Mm-hm. She already know the, she need to, the, the body need to sit straight, and sometimes need to adjust the posture.
EnglishNo, and also this she try to looking for this action. Not moving also help intention. 嗯。还是说不动也是一个动机。 If you close the eye, or open the eye, when you sitting meditations. 还是说你，呃，坐禅的时候闭眼还是睁眼的？ 有时闭着，有时睁着。嗯。 Why you close the eyes?
English为什么要闭上眼睛？ 闭上眼有时很舒服。 How could it work? Because you want to close. 还是说是因为你想闭上？ 想闭上。 哦。
EnglishDon't want to move. Don't want to move also intention. 嗯。还是说不想动也是一种动机。
EnglishYeah. Okay. Okay, this yogi. Oh, okay. You never rebuke, huh?
EnglishI think it's new. Not new. Not new. Long time he's sit, right? I never see him.
EnglishUh, because in the working, in the working place, and then, uh, he was hurt by the leader, company leader. Oh. And then so he feel not happy. Mm-hm. And then, but he didn't stand up, didn't fight. And then, because he, he was not fighting, and so.
EnglishBut now she, in the meditation, she fight. Yeah, the mind. Because and then also, you know, this is his idea is, because not fighting, he lost opportunities. Mm-hm. To gain certain things. Mm-hm. And then the mind wants to revenge. Mm-hm. But finally he gave up. Mm-hm. But there's the unhappiness left.
EnglishYeah, still there. Still there. Reaction is still there. Yeah. Still there. And this reaction is already affect people around. Mm-hm. Because he was always unhappy. Yes, that's why. And, and, and also anger, and suspicious. Yes. Doubt. Yes. And many negative thinking. Yes. So how to get rid of it?
EnglishGet rid of it. Yes. Now we are not try to get rid of it, huh? 啊，才是说现在不是说要把这个遗留的问题解决掉。 Now your, your learning is try to aware the, like, this mental state. Mm-hm. Unpleasant state, or angry state. 嗯。还是说你现在的一个主要的职责呢，就是要去觉知这种不舒服的感觉，这种愤怒的那个心的那个状态。 Every time they are rising, this with the feeling, right?
EnglishThey can use as a object and try to practice how to aware this
Englishreaction feeling, unpleasant feeling. How to aware with the equanimity, you need to practice this. 嗯。还是说呢，现在每一种当那个不开心那种感觉起来的时候，那感觉你要帮它做所缘来看待。那呢，你观察这个不开心这种感受的时候呢，要带着那个中舍心，就是带着平等心去看待。 就是。 He say cannot do with equanimity.
English就是，呃，有一段时间呢，几天会做梦，老是会梦到一些醒来以后马上就要，就是那种不愉快、不舒服的一些能境、事物嘛。然后那几天其实就非常平和。我那时候说我都以为说我禅修可以好了，那时候我就一下子感觉到好像看不到那种希望嘛。就是这个阴影这么深嘛，几年时间都摆脱不掉。如果特别是我在人多的时候，那种内在那种孤独、那种烦恼、凄凉就升起来。然后这个梦，梦里面都看到一些反正就是很不舒服的事情，很难受。 嗯。 Because sometimes can many days, every night
