【ENG DUB】7-3 How Thoughts Change During Meditation | 禅修过程中念头的变化过程 | 把心帶回家 #buddha #buddhism #dharma

在我們凡夫的心中，看到思想之流連續不斷，但事實卻非如此。
In the ordinary mind, we perceive the stream of thoughts as continuous; but in reality this is not the case. 
我們自己就會發現，每兩個思想之間都有間隙：
We will discover for ourselves that there is a gap between each thought. 
警覺力強的時候就會發現思想的間隙，當然思想也變得緩慢起來；
When our awareness is strong, we can notice these gaps, and as a result, the thoughts also slow down.
當過去的思想過去了，而未來的思想尚未生起時，你將發現當中有間隙，
When the past thought is past and the future thought not yet arisen, you will always find a gap. 
前念已過去了，後念未生之時，慢慢我們就感受到間隙了。
When the past thought has passed and the future thought has not yet arisen, gradually we will feel the gap in between.

我們的心開始變得無量無邊地寬闊了，思想變得越來越少了，就像到了大海，思想和思想之間的間隙越來越大了，
Our minds start to become boundless and spacious, and our thoughts become less and less, like coming to the ocean. The gaps between thoughts become wider and wider.
前念剛斷、後念未生的這麼一個狀態慢慢地就會呈現出來——
The state when the previous thought has just stopped and the next thought has not yet arisen will gradually appear.
你慢慢地就會覺察到前念已斷、後念未起的這個間隙，你的覺知力可以覺察到。
Slowly, you will notice the gap between the past thought that has ceased and the future thought that has not yet arisen. Your awareness will notice it.
就像一盞運動的燈，它的速度特別快的時候就是一條光帶，看不到間隙；當它的速度變慢，才能看到間隙。
It's like a moving lamp. When its speed is extremely fast, it appears as a ribbon of light without any gaps. Only when its speed slows down can we see the gaps in between.
當然了，「前念已斷、後念未生」這個心態還是一個無明的狀態，
Of course, "the past thought is past and the future thought not yet arisen" is still a state of ignorance.
這種無明的狀態是需要我們的心更加地寧靜、更加地深入禪定，勘破這個無明。
In order to penetrate this ignorance, we need a calmer mind and deeper concentration.

當粗大的妄想沒有了，就會覺知到粗大的妄念。
When coarse delusions are absent, you will notice coarse thoughts.
當粗大的妄念沒有了，就會覺知到微細的妄念；
When coarse thoughts are absent, you will notice subtle thoughts.
隨着定力的加深，當微細的妄念沒有了，就會覺知到更加微細的妄念；
As your concentration deepens, when subtle thoughts are absent, you will notice even subtler thoughts.
當最微細的妄念沒有了，一切妄念都沒有了的時候，前五識和第六意識都停止作用了，第七識的人我執就現前了——無明現前了；
When the subtlest thoughts are absent and all wandering thoughts are gone, the first five consciousnesses, as well as the sixth consciousness, all stop working, and the attachment to "self in person" in the seventh consciousness appears—the ignorance appears.
如果人我執被勘破了，那麼第七識法我執就會現前，這也是一層無明；
If the attachment to "self in person" is penetrated, the attachment to "self in phenomena" in the seventh consciousness will appear, which is another layer of ignorance.
如果法我執被勘破了，第八識的根本無明就會現前。
If the attachment to "self in phenomena" is penetrated, the fundamental ignorance in the eighth consciousness will appear.

這個過程就是禪修的過程，
This is the process of meditation.
過去禪宗宗下那些參禪的人就是這樣的，一直往裡看，看斷這一層一層的念頭。
In the past, practitioners in the Zen tradition engaged in this introspection, continuously watching and cutting off layers of thoughts.
隨着你定力的加深，你就可以看到越來越微細的雜念，甚至看到念頭和念頭之間的間隙。
As your concentration deepens, you will see increasingly subtle scattered thoughts and even the gaps between the thoughts.
