【The Meditation Session – what to do in between sessions 】- Acting with vigilance - five actions of activity in a temple

【The five actions of activity in a temple are:】

The above are about movements, and now these are the five actions of activity in the temple.

【(1) actions of the body: walking in a designated area; going to one who is in accord with the teaching; entering a passageway for the sake of receiving the teaching;】

What does “the body” do? It walks, stands, sits, and lies down, etc. So walking includes all these.

【Standing in the presence of those whom you are going to see and who are in accord with the teaching - the abbot, master, guru, and the like;】

Standing refers to our being here, or when we are accompanied by fellow practitioners or with the abbot, master, guru, and the like.

Other than the abbot and master, for example, now over here we, well, invite a Dharma Master or the senior monk etc. to teach us. And some are our immediate gurus; some are “the like”. In other words, they are practitioners who are better than us, they may not have the specific characteristics of a guru, however they are actually senior to us, and we should pay respect.

修持轨理 - 未修中间 : 正知而行-五受用业1

【寺内五种受用业中，】

前面的是行动业，然后呢五种受用业。

【身事业者，若行谓往经行处，或往同法者所，或为法故行经于道。】

这个“身”做些什么呢？就是行、住、坐、卧等。行包括这个。

【若住谓住行处，同法亲教，轨范尊重，似尊等前。】

住嘛，我们就住在这里，或者是同行哪，然后呢这个亲教师、轨范师，尊重跟似尊重。除了亲教轨范以外的，譬如我们现在这里，哦，这个请一位法师来跟我们讲，或者这个上座等等。那么有的是直接尊重，有的“似尊重”，换句话说，总比我们哪，他并没有显著的尊重的特质，但是他的的确确是我们的上座，我们该尊重的。
