　　The purpose of this paper is to briefly introduce the life and teachings of the Thai Buddhist monk Luangpor Teean. Luangpor Teean (1911-1988) was an important teacher within the world of Thai Buddhism who introduced a new technique of meditation that can be characterized as "dynamic" in contrast to the more conventional techniques of "static" meditation. He elucidated the goal of Buddhist practice with an unsurpassed vividness and authenticity. His dynamic meditation is also unique among the various schools of the contemporary Buddhist world.

　　◎本文的目的是要簡介一位泰國佛教僧侶—隆波田的一生和教導。隆波田(1911-1988)在泰國佛教界是一位重要的導師，他介紹一種“動態”的禅修新方法，而與一般傳統“靜態”的禅修方法不同。他用非常生動而明確的方式闡明了佛教修行的目標，他的動中禅也在當代佛教界衆多不同宗派之中獨樹一格。

　　Luangpor Teean”s dynamic meditation is practiced by using rhythmic bodily movement to develop awareness (sati), an awareness that can encounter thoughts or mental images -- the root causes of human suffering. The teachings of Luangpor Teean indicate the way of developing awareness, which breaks through the chain of thoughts; once awareness has become the dominating power over thoughts and mental images, it simultaneously overcomes attraction, resistance, and delusion, and hence suffering.

　　◎隆波田的動中禅是練習藉規律的身體動作來發展覺知(正念)，這種覺知能臨遇(encounter)人們痛苦根源的念頭或心智影像。隆波田的教導指引了一條發展覺知的道路，以突破環鏈般的念頭和心智影像；一旦對于念頭和心智影像的覺知力量變得強大有力，同時便能克服引生痛苦的誘惑、抗拒和愚癡(譯注：即貪、瞋、癡)。

　　The story of Luangpor Teean”s life is of some interest in itself. He attained the Dhamma while he was a layman, which is very unusual (and for some hard to credit) in the monastically centered world of Thai Buddhism. His experience of Dhamma involved a sudden way of knowing, which is more common in the history of Ch”an Buddhism in China and Zen Buddhism in Japan[1] In contemporary terms, Luangpor Teean can be seen as a teacher of "sudden enlightenment" in a Theravada context; from a historical perspective, his story is similar to that of Hui-neng (638-713), the sixth patriarch of Ch”an Buddhism in China, who also attained sudden enlightenment while a lay person.

　　◎隆波田的生平非常有趣，當他還是優婆塞時就體證了法，這在以寺院爲中心的泰國佛教界是極不尋常的(甚至有點難以置信)。他的體證和當代中國與日本襌宗[1]盛行的頓悟法門有密切關聯，隆波田可說是原始佛教中一位“頓悟”的禅師；從佛教曆史來看，他的生平事迹與中國禅宗六祖惠能大師(638-713)頗爲相似，惠能大師也是以優婆塞之身而獲得頓悟的。

　　His Life

　　◎他的一生

　　The fifth child of Chin and Som Inthaphiu,Luangpor Teean was born on September 5, 1911, at Buhom, a small village in the remote province of Loei in the north eastern region of Thailand[2] His given name was Phan. He had four brothers and one sister. Since his father died when he was still very young, the boy had to spend much of his time helping his mother with the hard work of running their farm.

　　◎隆波田于1911年9月5日，出生在泰國東北部洛伊省(Loei)的不紅(Buhom)小鎮[2](現在應該很紅)，是其母“青”與父“桑‧印塔飄”的第五個小孩，名字叫做“潘‧印塔佩悟”，他有四個兄弟、一個姐妹。由于父親早逝，童年的隆波田必須花很多時間幫忙母親，辛苦工作照顧農場。

　　There were no schools in the area, and Phan received no formal education. However, at the age of 10, he was ordained as a novice at the local monastery, where his uncle, Yakhuphong Chansuk, was a resident monk. Diligent, obedient, and devout, Phan spent eighteen months there studying ancient Buddhist scripts, meditation, and magic before he disrobed to return to his home. Later, following tradition, he was ordained as a monk at the age of 20, again studying and meditating with his uncle, this time for six months. His interest in meditation, fuelled by a deep faith in the Buddha”s teachings, continued to grow, and he practiced regularly.

　　◎當地沒有學校，于是潘‧印塔佩悟沒有接受正式教育。10歲時，他在當地的寺院剃度成爲沙彌，他的叔叔雅虎峰‧禅殊是該寺的常住。在寺裏，潘‧印塔佩悟精進、服從且虔…
