【修持轨理 The Meditation Session】五行动业 The five actions of movement

【修持轨理 - 未修中间如何行者】-正知而行者-何为所行事-五行动业

所以这一定要从法相上面,每一个地方很严密地摆在这个地方,然后你自己衡量。本来我们修行是自愿的事情,绝对没有人逼着我们说:啊,某人,你要剃了头出家!没有这件事情。我觉得好啊!既然自愿的话,就应该这样认真去做。那么现在有五样,五个是行动业,五个受用业,我们真正出家人做的,做来做去就这么几件事情。「行动」就是说你的走路什么等等,「受用」你的吃啊等等。下面我们看,

【其中初五之身事业者,】

行动,你该做些什么事情?

【谓若往赴所余聚落余寺院等,若从彼还。】

就是这样,说我们身体的行动,除了我们所住的常住这里要做的事情,你还要跑到别的地方去啊!其他的地方,或者是城市那边买东西,或者其他的寺院结夏、参访、邀请等等,那么说去、来这是一件事情。

【Meditation Session】
【What to do in between meditation sessions】
【Acting with vigilance - The foundations upon which you act – The five actions of movement】

So you must start from the character of the phenomenon, that has strict definition at every place, then you evaluate yourself against it. Right from the beginning, meditation is something we do it on our own free will. Absolutely no one would force us and say, “Ah, so and so, you need to shave your head and be ordained!” There is no such thing. I was the one who felt good in doing it! So since it is out of your own volition, then you should be at it diligently. So now there are 5 types, 5 actions of movement and 5 actions of activity in a temple. Things that we renunciates do are none other than these. Movement means when you walk, etc. Activity in the temple would include eating, etc. So let us read on further.

【The five actions of movement are: 】
Movement, what are the things that you should be doing?

【(1) actions of the body: going out to other places, like towns and temples, and returning from them; 】
That is how it is. It refers to the actions of the body. Other than the things which we need to do at the temple, you have to go to other places too! Other places or perhaps you need to go into the city to buy things, or to go to other temples to join their rain retreat, to visit and attend invitation, etc. It is referring to going out and returning as one thing [one kind of action].
