So she's using mindfulness, samādhi, and listening to see, watch objects. And we want to know whether you see the image object image and whether it has
English
What object do you know?也是用正念的心、觉知的心在做。它是不会补血的。 对，禅师问你：你觉知的所缘是什么？ 觉知的所缘就是看。我们都在问，看天。都是有所缘的，所有有的所缘。我们在注意，用正念在看，就不会混淆起来。我是说这样，这样每天。 Just mindfulness, no defining objects.
English
Okay.
English
Something I'm checking your mind.
English
Sometimes defining the words is such a— 禅师让你检查心，因为有的时候烦恼很微细，所以要检查心。 Like in this like in— 坐禅，痛。 痛一下子再关。痛的部分，这一块就痛。我就关。
English
刚刚就是禅师说，你在观察的时候，就观察喜欢、不喜欢，这些都是烦恼，就是检查有没有这些微细的烦恼。我们继续。 对，就是这个。 你刚刚说那个痛。 痛，上去的痛。就是痛，再关痛的部分，这一块也痛。 Watch pain, and the more you see the pain, the pain increases.
English
Okay.
English
So that means it's the mind's reaction. 那个说明心，就是对这个痛有反应，起反应了。 If you see the pain increased, so check the mind. Watch the mind. The mind,
English
maybe the mind has a reaction. Disliking or unpleasant. 就是如果这个疼痛越关越痛，这个时候你要反过来看心，看心有没有对这个痛心反应，不喜欢、抗拒的这样的心。 我现在的是用欢喜心在接受，在用欢喜的心在接受痛的过程，就不会那么痛了。我在观痛的时候，痛痛一直加痛，我观它的痛的变化，就不会那么痛了。 Try to use the happy mind to accept the pain,
English
and then can accept. Yeah. Not painful. You begin can do like this, but later,
English
try to make change in the mind, and what happened in the mind, just
English
watch as if they are.
English
初学者是可以这样做的，就是你刚刚说的用欢喜心来接受这个痛，但是越来越持续地去做，最后还是要以本来面目，就痛就是痛，以本来面目去观察这个，如实地观察这个痛，然后要去检查心，检查这个心态。 谢谢。 师父请教一下，我们从来没有参加过这种课程，但是我们—— 实验课的禅师是不是有试过那个禅修的那个表演？ 哦，是没有小禅，你知道吗？ 我知道。
English
小禅要怎么去那个踏那个步伐，怎么去那个知觉，那个步骤要怎么做。 就小禅的步骤。 对，对，对。我们都从来没有。 Because you only practice it in the old times. There is no such time, there is nothing like this. So she won't know the procedure.
English
Just tell me what you're doing, how you feel, what you notice.
English
Just tell me your experience. 禅师说就是你告诉她，向她报告你的经验，你做什么，怎么去做的，感觉到什么，有什么感受，有什么心得。
English
这是小禅的吗？ 对，这就是小禅的。 她听了我的话还会做。 就不会啊。 对，禅师现在教你，只是讲你的经验，然后你是怎么去练习的，然后练习当中。 我的练习也是用观的啦，也是用观的啦。我们就是观那个呼吸观这样，用鼻子呼吸去观的。 You are using breathing in and out.
English
What difference do you think in breath out? 禅师现在问你，吸气跟呼气有什么不一样？
English
长短的。 So less and more. Okay. Okay. Okay. Good. 禅师说非常棒。
English
Which one is one, which one is two? 禅师现在问你，就是吸气和呼气哪个比较温暖一点，热一点，哪个比较凉一些？ 好像是那个土气。 土气比较什么？ 热。 土气是热还是冷？土气是。 The yeah, kamma is heat.
English
Heat. Warm. Okay. Good, good. Smell.
English
Do you know your thoughts? 禅师问你能不能知道想法，心跑去想了能知道吗？ 看。 Very important to know. 这个很重要，很重要要去知道。 Don't follow the thought. Try to recognize the thought is happening and come by your body. 不要去追随着这个想法，只是知道心跑去想了，然后回来，然后关注这个身体的所缘。
English
那个步伐是那个吗？我们走的那个是跟我们的心相关吗？ 行禅。 行禅。 或者是。 禅师说这个要有别的方法，怎么样坐禅和怎么样行禅。 对，我们就是两个区分，不太会。因为我们。 Yeah, we're going to be swallowed by water.
English
That's why she don't know. That's why she don't know. 就想知道怎么样行禅，对吧？ So now you aware your body, right? Sitting time. So walking time the same, you aware your body. You know your walking is enough. 就现在坐着的时候你知道身体感受是什么，对吧？那在行禅的时候也是一样的，就是你在走的时候也是觉知这个身体的感受，同时你要知道你在走，知道在走。 So pay attention to your leg, touching, touching, touching, touching all.
English
Movement, movement, whatever. Aware this first. 就一开始先觉知，就走路的时候就触到地面，就触地面，触，触，触。或者可以觉知这个脚在动，动，动，动。就一开始可以这样子。 And slowly, if you aware all the time, everywhere you're walking, you aware this, and awareness becomes safe to you, then slowly you move forward.
English
如果这样持续这样做，到哪里都这么去做，那慢慢慢慢觉知就回到身上，就到哪里你都能觉知到整个的身体的感受。 Okay. Now she knows. She knows to aware yourself, right? So sitting time also the same, walking time also the same, eating time also the same. The mind, pay attention to your mind.
English
就禅师说你现在知道怎么样坐禅，怎么样练习，对吧？知道以后，其他也一样。就行禅的时候，走路的时候也是一样觉知自己，吃饭的时候也是一样，就是还是这样觉知自己。
English
明白吗？
