〖垃圾坑〗

    如果你的心平静而专一，它就是个很有用的重要工具，但如果你禅坐只是为了得到禅定的喜悦，那是在浪费时间。修行是去坐下让你的心平静而专一，而后用来观察身与心的本质，用来更清楚地看清它们，否则，只是让心平静，那么心在那段时间里也许是安详无杂染的，但这就好像拿一块石头盖住恶臭的垃圾坑一样，当石头移开时，却仍旧充满著难闻的垃圾。你们必须善用禅定，不要只为短暂的快乐，而要正确地观察身心的本然，这才是真正使你解脱之道。

Garbage Pit

If your mind becomes quiet and concentrated, it is an important tool to use. But if you're sitting just to get concentrated so you can feel happy and pleasant, they you're wasting your time. The practice is to sit and let your mind become still and concentrated, and then use that quiet concentration to examine the nature of the mind and body. If you make the mind simply quiet with no investigation, however, then for that time it's peaceful and there is no defilement, but that is like taking a stone and covering up a smelly garbage pit. When you take the stone away, it's still full of smelly garbage. You must use your concentration, not to attain temporary bliss, but to accurately examine the nature of the mind and body. This is what actually frees you.
