【The Meditation Session – what to do in between sessions 】- Acting with vigilance – What are the things that require our action
The earlier section was about restraining sensory faculties. However, there are things that require our action. Thus, for all these actions, how should you properly engage? The author taught us clearly how to engage in each part. Now we often say, wow the southern lineage, how they apply the teaching here and there seems to be very intricate! Do we not have this in our northern lineage? Most definitely, yes! However, all of us are not earnest in learning what is most important to us now. Even you were told to, the sincerity is not there. The key is right here – that is, in any situation, your every move, every thought, there are intricate rules.
It was more than ten years ago when I still did not understand. I did not know this concept and, even though I had heard about it, I still didn’t understand. I met a practitioner from the southern lineage, and he talked about serenity and insight. For example, when walking, well, his steps were very slow, and then, the way to watch the mental thoughts when engaging in any task. Ah, I felt this teaching was so great! But I turned around and looked, alas, it turns out that what we have is a “family treasure!” This happens to be our attitudes; we are not properly using the family treasure and instead envy others. In fact, even if others told you about [how to walk], would [you] be able to achieve it? You can’t make it happen either. Actually, the tendency of laziness is within our minds; when trying to lift it up, it just won’t.

修持轨理 - 未修中间 : 正知而行-何为所行事
前面守护根门，但是我们有一些必须要的行动，那么所有的这个行动，你该怎么个做法。每一部分你该怎么去做，他告诉我们清清楚楚。所以现在我们常常说：哎哟，说他们南传，他们怎么弄、怎么弄，好像很细致啊！我们北传没有吗？绝对有啊！现在我们大家真正重要地方大家也不好好去学，告诉你了也不认真地去行，主要的就这个地方。就是你在任何情况之下，一举一动，起心动念，它都有很细致的法则。
那个十多年以前的时候我还不懂，不大懂这个东西，虽然听说过了不了解。曾经遇见过一个学南传的人，他就讲了那个止观，譬如说走路的时候，喔，他那个步子走得非常慢，然后呢那个念头应该怎么个观照，做任何一件事情的时候。啊，我觉得这东西这么好! 后来回过头一看哪，哎，原来我们自己的是“家宝”！我们偏偏这样，那个家宝不去善巧地利用，羡慕别人。实际上真的别人告诉你，做得到吗？你也做不到。实际上就是我们心里面哪，这种懒散的心情，真的要提起起来就提不来的。
