Q31: Venerable Sir, what is a yogi expected to be aware of when sitting or lying?

问：31 尊者，禅修者在坐或卧的时候要觉知什么？

When sitting, just note “sitting, sitting” continuously. If it is boring and monotonous, since it is a single object, then a prominent touching point should be added to it, noting “sitting, touching; sitting, touching.” Or you can note “rising and falling” of the abdomen instead, focusing on the sensation of the air-element characterized by stiffness,movement.Similarly with lying down.

坐的时候只是连续观照“坐、坐”，如果因为是单一所缘而觉得无聊和单调，可以加进来一个显著的触点，观照“坐、触，坐、触”。或者你可以代之以观照腹部的“起与伏”，专注在风元素的感觉上，紧绷、移动是其特征。卧时观照与此类似。
