Q24: Venerable Sir, what are we supposed to note when the rising and falling fade away?
问24:尊者,当腹部起伏消失了我们应当观照什么?
When the rising and falling fade away, you are supposed to note: “sitting, touching” or “lying, touching.” You can change touching points. For example, you note “sitting, touching” paying attention to a touch point on the right foot, and then note “sitting, touching”focusing a touching point on the left foot. Thus, you can shift your attention from one touch point to another. Or, you can shift your attention to four, five or six touch points alternately.
当腹部起伏消失了你应当观照“坐、触”或“躺、触”。你可以变换触点,例如,你观照“坐、触”注意右脚的触点,然后观照“坐、触”专注左脚的触点。这样你可变换你的注意力从一个触点到另一个触点。或者你可以在四、五或六个触点上轮换观照。
