Q37: Venerable Sir, is there any difference between meditators and non-meditatorswhenthey face with a painful illness?

问37：尊者，当面对痛苦的疾病时，禅修者和非禅修者会不一样吗？

Yes, of course. Non-meditator can only remember to take precepts,to listento theParittachanting, to donate robes or food andso on.What a pity,they can onlyperformcharityand morality! As for meditators,they remember to perform high-level practiceuntil theybecome enlightenedby noting closelytheir discomfort itself moment to moment.

是的，当然是这样。非禅修者只能记得受戒，听诵护卫经，供养袈裟和食物等等。多么遗憾，他们只能行善和守戒！而作为禅修者，他们记得刹那刹那地密切观照他们的苦受本身，这样进行高阶修行直到证果。
