打坐
Meditation

對我來說打坐是很能令人放鬆心情的。但是有時候,當我有太多妄想,打坐就變得很單調乏味。以前我總覺得自己一輩子恐怕也都不能靜下來,現在經過打坐之後,我發覺自己的心是可以沉靜下來的。
我剛開始打坐時,對打坐十分討厭,覺得是浪費時間。現在我覺得打坐如果得當的話,可以說是我一生中所碰到的最好的一件事。有時在我情緒最低落之時,我便靜坐一下。只要半個鐘頭,我的心就沉靜下來了,心胸也覺得開闊很多。我決定今後一定要繼續打坐,即使只坐幾分鐘也好。現在我終於認識了打坐是多麼地好,還可以當做療病的藥物,治療各種疾病。但是打坐最主要的是可以給我們一個機會放鬆心情,也讓自己靜一靜。

 

Meditation to me is very relaxing; however, sometimes when I have many false thoughts it can become rather boring. I used to think. that I would never be able to calm my mind, even a bit. I now realize that I can calm my mind by meditating if I try.

When I first encountered meditation, I hated it and felt it a horrible waste of time. I now realize that if used properly, meditation can be one of the best things that I will ever encounter. Sometimes when I'm feeling down, I meditate, and after about a half an hour I feel totally calm and my mind is much more open to things.

I am definitely going to continue to meditate even if it is only for a few minutes a day. I think I've finally realized the wonders of meditation and how it can be used as a medicine. Meditation can heal many sicknesses. Most of all, meditation gives us a chance to relax and have some quiet time to ourselves.
