【The Meditation Session – what to do in between sessions 】- The five actions of movement 1

So this has to be from the aspect of the Dharma characteristics, every step is tightly related here, and you apply your own evaluation. Essentially, our application of the teaching is a personal choice, absolutely no one forcing us by saying: “ah, so and so, you have to shave your head and be ordained!” There is no such thing. I feel [ordination] is great! So since it is voluntary, then the engagement should be sincere. Now there are five – five actions of movement, and five actions of activity in a temple. For our monastic actions, there is nothing more than these. “Movement” means your walking, etc. “Activity in the temple” includes eating, etc. Next, let’s continue,

【The five actions of movement are: 】

Movement, what should you be doing?

【(1) actions of the body: going out to other places, like towns and temples, and returning from them;】

That’s how it is. It is about our physical movement. Other than the things that we need to do in the temple, you have to go to other places! Other places or buying things in the city, or other temples’ summer retreats, visits, or invitations, etc. Thus, the movement to and from is considered as one action.

修持轨理 - 未修中间 : 正知而行-五行动业1

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。
