【The Meditation Session – what to do in between sessions 】- restrain your sensory faculties with a constant maintenance of your mindfulness and a continuous persistence at mindfulness.

【With respect to these two, the first, maintaining your mindfulness, means that you practice your mindfulness repeatedly without forgetting the teachings about restraining the sensory faculties as well as the other three preconditions.】

What we need to restrain are the six sensory faculties. Then what do you use to restrain it? Restrain your six sensory faculties with the Dharma Jewel – apply this Dharma Jewel to constantly train so as not to forget about it, do not forget it. Actually, for true meditation, this is it. That is to say, it is the most effective treasure, your tool, and your weapon to restrain against the three mental poisons. If you lose this weapon, how do you restrain? This is the first part. Why do we need to “repeatedly” practice? For you to become familiar with using this weapon, you need to be skillful and know how to get it to work, which requires continuous familiarization. Once you are familiar with it, then at any time or any place, well, when this enemy [affliction] arises, you can take out the weapon to fight against it immediately.

修持轨理 - 未修中间 : 密护根门-以何防护者-遍护正念

【其中初者，谓于防护根门诸法，数数修习令不忘失。】

我们要防护的是六根门头，那么你用什么东西去防护啊？就防护你六根门头的这个法宝，关于这个法宝，不断地去修习，不要让它忘失，不要让它忘失。实际上真正地修行，这个才是，就是说这个是你防护你三毒的一个最有效的宝贝，你的工具、你的武器。你对这个武器一旦失掉了，你怎么防啊？这是第一个。为什么要“数数修习”呢？你对于你使用的这武器，你要善于操作，懂得怎么操作，是不断去摸熟了；那你摸熟了以后，然后你随时随地，欸，这个敌人起来的时候，你一下就拿出武器来把他对治了。
