【The Meditation Session – what to do in between sessions 】- maintain vigilance

What should be done? One should maintain mindfulness and vigilance, and not become too relaxed. So the text says, if you do “not continue to rely on mindfulness and vigilance” – this “rely” is to be mindful and vigilant – in other words, it is still about mindfulness and vigilance. If you don’t maintain them and let them become relaxed, thus the generation of true benefit is very minimal, very small! So when a true practitioner has this kind of practice, he applies full attention to meditation and even continues with the practice after the session. However, what is the difference between the two? We should know: when you are meditating attentively, focusing with full energy, we definitely need to properly accommodate both tension and relaxation. Thus, when you are done with one session, you need to adjust physically and mentally, but do not completely slack off.

修持轨理 - 未修中间 : 忆念正知

应该怎么办啊？应该正念、正知保持着，不要让它放逸。所以他说如果说你“不依念知”，这个“依”就是忆念正知，换句话说还是正念正知，你不保持着这个正念正知，就让它放逸。这样的话，你真正产生的功效，非常少，非常少! 所以他真正修的时候，就有这样的条件，全部精神摆在这里修，下了座还在修。不过这个地方是不同的在哪里呢？我们要晓得，你全部精神坐在这个地方的话，那时精力很贯注，我们的的确确要松、紧互相调配，所以你下了座以后，使得你那个身心松驰一下，并不是叫你放散掉。
