Q54: Venerable Sir, can you describe what one’s experience of magga-phalaenlightenment is like?

问54：尊者，你能描述一个人证得道果的经验是什么样吗？

One’s mental state changes remarkably and abruptly when he or she realizes Magga, Phala enlightenment. He or she may feel as if he or she were newly reborn. His or her faith and confidence distinctly flourish resulting in strong rapture, ecstasy and great happiness. Sometimes, these mental states prevail so much that he or she cannot penetrate into objects like before even though he or she focuses attention on them. Hours or days later, however, such mental states tend to be mild and he or she can do well again in the practice. For some people, they may feel relaxed or apparently unwilling to practice or seemingly satisfied with what they have just achieved probably because they might not intend to achieve higher.

当一个人证得道果的时候，他/她的心理状态发生显著或截然不一样的变化。他/她可能感到如获新生。他/她的信心因强烈的喜、乐、轻安而明显地处于鼎盛。有时这些状态如此强烈以至于即使他/她集中注意力也不能象以前那样透视所缘。然而，数小时或数天后这些状态变得和缓他/她又能够很好禅修了。有些人可能感到放松或者明显的不愿意用功或者似乎满足于刚获得的成就，可能是因为他们没有意愿成就更高阶的果位。
