修行就在生活中 Practice Is Just in Life ---1071013-14年度任職會議、禪修研習及賞秋活動報導 The Annual Work Conference, Meditation, and Autumn Enjoying on October 13 and 14, 2018 @ 中華清淨學佛協會

10月13、14日，中華清淨學佛協會首次舉辦兩天一夜的年度工作會議，及禪修研習、賞秋活動。

On October 13 and 14, the Association of Pure Buddhist(APB) held its first trip of two-day and one-night for the annual work conference, meditation and autumn viewing.

協會創辦人段老師構思規劃本次活動，幫助我們來到大自然山林中，洗滌平日繁忙的塵垢，以另種角度視野去思考、拓展協會未來的走向。

The founder of the APB, Teacher Duan, conceived and planned this event to help and lead us to the natural forests, washing the dust of the busy ordinary days, thinking and expanding the future direction of the APB from different angles of view.

禪修研習也有別平日在協會書房的坐禪，老師因應戶外風雨因素，靈活地調整研習內容，改以「拿筷子」、「吃飯」教授我們實踐學習身心相應、心物合一，使我們十分驚訝，體會到生活中每天都在做的行動，看似做得習慣熟練，但往往只是機械式的身體活動，並未在每個當下清明覺知，因為做事時常心不在焉卻不自知，難怪生活常處於混亂之中……原來生活中的那麼多看似瑣事，都可以用來練習靜心、淨心，當心安定了，整個人也變得放鬆、滿足、開心。

The meditation course also differed from the sitting meditation in the APB study. The teacher flexibly adjusted the meditation content due to the wind and rain outdoor, and she used the "chopsticks using" and "eating" to teach us to practice and learn corresponding the body and mind and combining the mind and things. We were very surprised that those actions which we are doing every day in life seemed to be done accustomed and skilled but are just mechanical physical activities, we are not mindful and aware at every moment. And because we were often absent-minded without self-awareness, no wonder our lives were often in chaos…… So many things in life that seemed trivial can be used to practice mind-clearing and mind-purifying. When the mind became stable, the whole person became relaxed, satisfied and happy.

研習後，有人愉快地分享，平常雖然衣食無虞，好像也沒什麼特別煩惱的事，卻覺得無論做甚麼，心裡總有空虛的感覺，彷彿有個填不滿的大洞；但這次特別的禪修實作研習，做的雖然只是平日再熟悉不過的活動，但在身體行動中的每個細微之處都用心專注，當下心物合一，竟然就神奇地體會到了平時難以體會到的，跟自己好好相處的徹底放鬆、純然喜悅。一場兩天一夜的山居淨心，開啟了我們對「修行就在生活中」的新視野，期待下次能再有機會，更多人參加受益。

After the study, some students joyfully shared, although I don’t need to worry about not having food and clothing, and there are no special vexations, but I just feel that no matter whatever I do, there's always a feeling of emptiness in my heart and there seems to be a big hole filled with discontent. However, in this particular practice of meditation, although what we did were only familiar activities on weekdays in appearence, I was concentrated and mindful toward the details of each physical action and had the union of mind and things at the moment. Then I unexpectedly had the magic experience of feelings which are really difficult to have in ordinary days, the total relaxation and pure joy from getting along with myself. The two-day and one-night mind-purifying study in the mountain expanded our new vision of "practice is just in life", and we look forward to the next opportunity and hoped more people can join and benefit from the activity together.
