【The Meditation Session – what to do in between sessions 】- Restraining the sensory faculties – how to restrain – guarding the sensory faculties

【“Take note of” refers to perceiving and paying attention to the intentional or unintentional appearance of sensory objects such as forms that you should not look at. 】

What is called “take note of” is, well! It says what we shouldn’t look at and, when it appears, the feeling at that time is, wow, this is good stuff. And then when you take a look at it, this is called taking note of. As for this aspect: eliminate it, do away with it! Next, it talks about imagining.

【“Imagining” can refer to the mental consciousness’s apprehension of sensory objects that produces attachment, hostility, and ignorance, after the six consciousnesses have perceived them. It can also refer to hearing about these sensory objects from others and then imagining them despite never having perceived them. 】

As for “imagining,” it is after you have taken note of [the object], you have seen it, and followed it. It evoked your attachment to this object, like that. At that moment in your mind, this object has passed, it is no longer in your presence, and this requires restraint - restrain, it needs to be restrained.

修持轨理 - 未修中间 : 密护根门-如何防护-守护根者

【取行相者，谓于非应观视色等，正为境界，或现在前，即便作意彼等行相，现前往观。】

所谓这个“行相”就是，喏！说我们不应该看的这种事情，现起的时候，那时候觉得：哎呀，这个东西很好。你就去看，这个行叫行相。关于这个行相——不要，断除它！后面呢，是说随好。

【取随好者，谓于六识起后，能引贪瞋痴三之境，意识执持，或其境界，虽未现前，由从他闻，分别彼等。】

“取随好”呢？就是当那个行相已经过去了以后，你看见了以后，随后跟着它，引发你对这个东西好乐贪着，这样。那个时候你脑筋里面，这个境界已经过去了，不在前头，这个要防，防这个东西，防这个东西。
