　　Having developed awareness until one is skilled at it, catch the feelings in the mind with awareness; following whatever comes up, no matter what one is thinking. Know and see it. Keep watching your own thoughts continuously. Regardless of what you”re doing, look at your own mind all the time, no matter what it is that you are doing – reading a book, writing, digging, cutting grass or bathing. Keep watch over your own mind all the time. What kinds of feelings are coming up

　　 Satisfaction, dissatisfaction, worry, doubts, etc.; these things are all thoughts, objects. Watch over these thoughts and objects. Then we will see the various kinds of thoughts, such as gladness, sadness, desire to get, desire to not get, anger, hate, and so forth. They don”t exist all the time. They arise and pass away, they change all the time. We are not glad or sad for twenty-four hours.

　　当培养觉知身体的动作达到熟练时，接着就要进一步修学：觉知心里的感受。不管你正在想什么，都要跟随内心生起的任何东西，要知道并且看见它(内心的活动)；不论你在做什么，都要持续不断地看着自己的念头，不论你做什么事，例如看书、写字、挖洞、割草或洗澡，都要一直看着自己的心。不断地观照自己的心，看看生起了什么感受？是欢喜、不欢喜、担忧、疑虑等等；这些东西都是念头，都是内心缘虑之物(所缘)，我们要观照这些念头和缘虑之物，这样才能见到各种念头，像是高兴、悲伤、想要、不想要、生气、憎恨等等。它们不是一直都存在的，它们不断生起、灭去，不断在变化。我们不会二十四小时都在高兴或都在忧伤中。

　　To Know And See According To Reality 如实知‧如实见

　　Change, arising-passing away, is what the Buddha showed to be impermanence, instability and non-selfhood. So don”t follow moods. Following moods will give rise to suffering. We just watch there. As soon as something arises in a flash, know and see it. As soon as you see it, it will stop. The stopping is equivalent to destroying defilements.

　　变化和生灭就是佛陀所说的无常、苦及无我，所以，不要随着情绪起哄，跟着情绪起哄，只会引起苦恼。我们只是在一旁看着，只要一有什么剎那生起，马上知道并且看见它。只要你看见它，它就停了，这一停就等于消灭了烦恼。

　　The Results Of Developing Awareness In The Right Way 正确培养觉知的果报

　　A.Cleanliness As Result 清净为果

　　So each of the practices, of making merit, generosity, keeping precepts, tranquility-meditation and insight-meditation, are ways to destroy defilement, that is to say Lobha, Dosa & Moha. The destruction of defilement, is what real merit is, the highest merit. Talking in terms of heaven, it”s the real heaven, it”s the essence, the peak of heaven. Talking in terms of Nibbana, it”s true Nibbana, the essence, the marrow of Nibbana.The finish of defilements is cleanliness.

　　Nibbana translates as extinguishment, coolness ; our hearts are not hot because defilements have been extinguished and become cool.If, at this moment, we don”t have suffering, it is Nibbana at this moment. When we experience Nibbana at this moment, we”ll go to Nibbana for sure. We should know heaven in our hearts ; not having suffering is heaven : we are joyful.; to look at our minds, is to be in heaven. When we have heaven in our minds like this, when we die, we”ll be born in heaven without doubt!

　　每一种修行：做功德、布施、持戒、止禅及观禅等，这些都是灭除烦恼(也就是灭除贪瞋痴的方法)。灭除烦恼是真正的，最高的功德。若要说天堂，这才是真正的天堂，是其本质，是最崇高的天堂；若要说涅槃，这才是真正的涅槃，是涅槃的本质，涅槃的精髓。灭除烦恼就是清净。

　　涅槃意为寂灭、清凉，这样的心无热恼，因为烦恼已被消灭，变得清凉。如果当下这一刻，我们没有痛苦，那当下这一刻便是涅槃。当下这一刻体验到涅槃，我们一定会从此趣向涅槃。我们应该知道天堂在我们的心中，内心没有痛苦就是天堂，而这也就是快乐了。向内看我们的心就是进入天堂了，当我们内心有了这样的天堂，死后我们也毫无疑问，必然会投生在天堂！

　　B. Brightness As Result 光明为果

　　If someone doesn”t know heaven, he or she won”t be able to go there, for example, we have electricity in our house and we want to have light but we go and take hold of the lightbulb ; the light doesn”t go on. When we”ve learned that we have to turn the switch in order for the light to go on, we turn on the switch and light appears at the lightbulb.

　　It is similar with the method to deal with greed, hatred and delusion : we don”t have to figure out where greed, hatred and delusion are, we just come back to look at our minds and Lobha, Dosa & Moha are destroyed by themselves.

　　The Buddha proclaimed that He was enlightened by working with the mind. We have to look …
