【The Meditation Session – what to do in between sessions 】- restraining sensory faculties

May [I] ask, if we were to actually accomplish this [restraining the sensory faculties], would[we] have any difficulties in practicing the teachings? There would be absolutely no difficulties, certainly no difficulties. So, based on this, it is said to be easy! Well, the actual practice is not that easy; although it is not that easy to practice, the effect is tremendously great! Whatever we are seeking is all included, as long as you can achieve this point, the rest will not be a concern

Then, next is “acting with vigilance.” It is certain that, if you now make effort accordingly, there are many tasks for us to act upon or be proactive about. What should we do then? Well, right! Other than your practice, during your application, focus your full attention on the object of meditation – then, with the rest of the time, you are still able to restrain. But there are many situations where you are not able to restrain. For example, the text tells us to restrain taking note of [something]: you were told not to go out, but the abbot assigned a task where [you] have to go out. What should [you] do at that time?

修持轨理 - 未修中间 : 密护根门

请问假定我们真正在这一点上做到了，修行有没有困难哪？的的确确没有困难，的的确确没有困难。所以这个说起来很容易啊！喔，但是呢做起来是不大容易；做起来虽然不大容易，这个功效不得了地大！我们所要求的东西，全部在这个里面，你只要这点做到了，其他什么都不怕。

那么下面就“正知而行”，因为的的确确的，现在如果说你努力这样去做的话，我们现在我们这个里边有很多事情我们要行为，要主动地去行为的时候，那时候该怎么办？欸，对! 你如果说离开了你修行以外，当修行的时候，你全部精神缘在这上头，然后呢剩下来的时间，你也能够保护它。可是有很多事情，却你没办法保护的，譬如他告诉我们防那个行相，叫你不要出去，结果啊常住派我一个事情，我要出去，那个时候该怎么办？
