Do not act like a child.

不要像小孩子

When you sit in full lotus position, you have to endure the pain in your legs. Why does it hurt? It is because qi energy and blood cannot pass through the joints and circulate. If you can endure this, it will eventually get through and will not hurt anymore. All cultivators should learn how to sit in full lotus. If you really want to become enlightened and become a Buddha, it is essential that you learn this. In the beginning, you will have to endure the pain in your legs. Do not act like a child and cry or shout for your mother when it hurts. You must have an attitude of perseverance. There is no special technique to sitting in meditation; if you meditate regularly, with time, you will see the results. However, if you cultivate for one day and rest for the next ten, then you will not see any results.

结双跏趺坐，你要忍着腿痛，为什么会痛呢？因为气血过不了关，你忍着忍着，它冲过去这关，你就不痛了。所有修道的人都应该会跏趺坐，你要想真正开悟、真正成佛，那一定要学的。最初你当然要忍着一点，你不要怕腿痛，不要像小孩子，痛一点就忍不了哭起来了，再不就叫妈了。我们现在都要学大丈夫，大丈夫就要忍人所不能忍的，越痛我越要忍着，要有一种忍耐心，要有长远心。坐禅的人没有什么巧妙，你只要常常坐，坐久了自然就会得到好消息。你不常坐「一日曝之，十日寒之」你修一天，休息十天，那不会有什么成就的。
