【The Meditation Session – what to do in between sessions 】- Acting with vigilance - The element of direction

【2) The element of direction: With regards to directions, you analyze to discover what will be happening and how to proceed, and then consider the situation in light of what you have concluded. For instance, when going out, do not go to the five places — one that sells liquor, and so on. Having understood that you should go to places other than those, be vigilant with regard to this when you go out. 】

The second, for example, it says previously what to do when we are going back and forth. This second one is regarding the place we are going. The text listed above tells us the places for us to go, and there are five places should be avoided*: liquor stores or brothels… these are places we should refrain from going. Thus, other than these, if we need to be in other places, then we should go. While going, the same applies – regarding the target location, “establish mindfully” so I know where I am going.

[*v.1 p.387 #167 The five places are (1) a place that sells liquor, (2) a brothel, (3) a bad slaughterhouse, (4) the king’s palace, and (5) a regular slaughterhouse.]

Now, we often muck around with nothing to do, and when we see someone going out, “Hey! You’re going out, I want to go, too!”

修持轨理 - 未修中间 : 正知而行-于何种方所

【二谓于其何种方所，应以何相如何观察，即于是方，以是行相如是观察，譬如行时，应先了知沽酒等处，五非应行，除此所余是可行处，于彼彼时，安住正知。】

第二个，譬如说前面这个说，我们往返的怎么个走法，第二呢，我们要去的地方。他上面告诉我们，譬如说我们要去的地方，说有五个地方不可以，沽酒、淫女……这种地方我们都不可以去。那么除了这个以外，该去的地方，那么我们就去；去的时候也是如此，对于所去的地方“安住正知”，我晓得我到哪里去。现在我们平常啊闲闲荡荡没事情，看见一个人，你出去：“嗳! 你出去啊，我也跟你出去！”
