智慧的觀照，能夠引生內心的穩定與平衡。
The contemplation of wisdom can foster inner stability and balance.
而心平靜的時候，同時也會知道覺觀的正確性與否。
And when the mind is calm, one will also know the correctness of one's awareness and observation.
「止」與「觀」兩者是不能分開的。
"Samatha" (calming) and "Vipassana" (insight) cannot be separated.
當「止」與「觀」兩者更加密實的時候，修行的信念就會更加的持續與確定。
When "Samatha" and "Vipassana" become more integrated, the conviction in one's practice will become more enduring and certain.
內心保持明覺與安定的力量就會越來越紮實。
The power to maintain inner clarity and stability will become increasingly firm.
時間和範圍也會越來越長及深遠。
Its duration and scope will also become longer and more profound.
大自然的現象總是很微妙的，時常的觀照更有益於我們對真實法的瞭解。
The phenomena of nature are always subtle, and frequent contemplation is more beneficial for our understanding of true Dharma.
就像是樹木的成長過程，我們不容易看到。
Just like the growth process of trees, we don't easily see it.
但是樹葉的散落卻很容易察覺。
But the falling of leaves is very easy to perceive.
水氣凝結成雲的過程也不易發覺，但是下雨時是快速而且明顯的。
The process of water vapor condensing into clouds is also not easily noticed, but rainfall is rapid and obvious.
生命的長成必須靜靜的等待，而生命的消失總是在一瞬間。
The growth of life requires quiet waiting, while the disappearance of life is always in an instant.
這些現象教導我們要很有耐心和慎重的看視生命，並且時常提醒你要放下執取是很容易的。
These phenomena teach us to view life with great patience and prudence, and constantly remind us that letting go of attachment is very easy.
只要改變觀念和想法，放下立刻就完成。
As long as you change your perceptions and thoughts, letting go is immediately accomplished.
在於平常我們的修行是先去妄再歸真。
In our usual practice, we first eliminate delusion and then return to truth.
先觀照內心所生起的妄想執著，然後利用智慧與禪定來放下執取。
First, observe the deluded thoughts and attachments arising in the mind, then use wisdom and meditation to let go of attachment.
最後回到不生不滅的平等自性。
Finally, return to the unborn, undying, equal true nature.
也就是回歸一實法的真理。
This means returning to the truth of the One Reality.
但是在生活中與許多複雜的人事物互動的時候。
However, when interacting with many complex people, events, and things in life.
就必需訓練成，從中能夠直接的觀照到「法」的存在。
One must train oneself to directly observe the existence of "Dharma" within them.
比如說：站在車水馬龍雜音四起的地方時。
For example: when standing in a bustling place filled with noise from traffic.
應該感恩人們的努力，在你面前展示無常法的無住不居。
One should be grateful for people's efforts, displaying the impermanence and non-abiding nature of Dharma before you.
讓你學習不要執著。遠離幻境。超越分別，而心中無事。
Allowing you to learn not to cling. To distance yourself from illusions. To transcend distinctions, and have nothing troubling your mind.
當你看到不如意的人與物時。
When you see people or things that are not to your liking.
應該看到一切意象無非是明暗對立的假象，離開對立與分別，更無實體。
You should see that all phenomena are merely illusory appearances of light and shadow, opposition and contrast, devoid of inherent reality, transcending duality and distinctions.
當你遇到時間的壓迫時。
When you encounter the pressure of time.
應該知道時間只是過去和未來的產物。
You should know that time is merely a product of the past and the future.
當下承擔卻無事可做。沒有擔心也不用害怕。
You bear it in the present moment, yet there is nothing to be done. No worries and no need to be afraid.
當你在開會的時候，何必充耳不聞。
When you are in a meeting, why turn a deaf ear?
應該聽聽和感受。無常妙法所帶來的驚喜與寧靜。
You should listen and feel. The surprise and tranquility brought by the wonderful Dharma of impermanence.
當你遇到惡口相罵時。
When you encounter harsh words and insults.
應該知道這也是恰恰相應，有因必有果，無來亦無去。
You should know that this too is a perfect correspondence, there is cause, there must be effect, no coming and no going.
當你同時要扮演許多不同的角色時。
When you have to play many different roles at the same time.
應該知道沒有一個我可以永遠代表真正的我，真正的我不住在任何地方。
You should know that no single "I" can forever represent the true self, the true self does not reside anywhere.
無論何時何處，「法」一直在你身邊。
Wherever and whenever, "Dharma" is always by your side.
「法」的價值永遠是值得肯定的。
The value of "Dharma" is always worthy of affirmation.
成功的值得贊賞他人的智慧，失敗的也能肯定他人的努力。
Successes are worthy of commending the wisdom of others, and failures can also affirm the efforts of others.
只要你能夠用心，就可以聽到「法」所帶來的消息。
As long as you are mindful, you can hear the message brought by "Dharma."
「法」藉由「無常」，不斷的提醒你回到老家，不要追逐幻境。
"Dharma," through "impermanence," constantly reminds you to return home, not to chase illusions.
也藉由「因果」指示你正確的道路。
And through "karma," it points you to the correct path.
「法」具足無限的可能性，可以讓我們信賴。
"Dharma" possesses infinite possibilities that we can trust.
只要努力以赴，任何人都將畢竟成佛。
As long as you make every effort, anyone will ultimately attain Buddhahood.
時時用心，爾後您將能夠時時，看到那遠離紛雜、分別的清淨顏色。
Be mindful at all times, and thereafter you will be able to constantly see the pure colors free from confusion and distinctions.
聽到那最寂靜以外的淨音。
Hear the pure sound beyond the deepest silence.
感受到那超越寒熱的平衡溫煦。
Feel the balanced warmth transcending cold and heat.
嚐到那勝過味覺的唯一法味。
Taste the unique flavor of Dharma that surpasses all other tastes.
與及嗅到那逆風之戒定真香。
And smell the true fragrance of precept and concentration that blows against the wind.
和體驗到那平衡唯美和無諍的清淨世界。
And experience the balanced, beautiful, and conflict-free pure world.
最後說明，在這次的禪修裡所使用的教理。
Finally, let me explain that the teachings used in this meditation retreat.
主要是依照佛所說，阿含經中的「四念住」。
Are primarily based on the "Four Foundations of Mindfulness" from the Agamas, as taught by the Buddha.
與及「瑜伽師地論」和「中觀論」。
As well as the "Yogācārabhūmi Śāstra" and "Mūlamadhyamakakārikā."
加上個人的一點修行技巧加以整合而成。
Plus a little personal practice technique integrated to form this.
而第三天修行「止」的部分是用數息的方法。
And for the "Samatha" (calming) practice on the third day, the method of breath counting was used.
假如說，你已經習慣用其他方法，而且也用得很好。
If you are already accustomed to using other methods, and also use them very well.
譬如：不淨觀、持咒、念佛、觀想、只管打坐、參禪等。
For example: contemplation of impurity, chanting mantras, reciting Buddha's name, visualization, just sitting, Zen koan practice, etc.
不論是修持南傳佛教還是藏傳、漢傳或是其他宗教正當的法門。
Whether practicing Theravada Buddhism, Tibetan, Chinese Mahayana, or other proper religious Dharma gates.
只要觀念正確，都可以運用自己的善巧套用上去。
As long as the concepts are correct, you can skillfully apply your own methods.
希望這樣的說明，對你們的修行能夠有點幫助。
I hope this explanation can be of some help to your practice.
願你們吉祥如意。
May you be auspicious and wish everything goes well.
也祝福一切眾生都能夠完成覺悟的道路。
And I also wish all sentient beings can complete the path to enlightenment.
