March 17: 评判阻碍禅修

As you go about meditating the whole day, is it good to hear sounds? Are loud sounds better for meditation or are soft sounds better? Is it better if it is quiet for meditation? Don't we all like quiet better? But what happens when we think quiet is better than when it's noisy? We get just a little bit annoyed. Our preferences will hinder the mind's work.

当你准备一整天都禅修时，能听得到响声好吗？是大的声音还是小的声音有利于禅修呢？抑或安静的环境？我们不是都更喜欢安静吗？当我们认为安静比吵闹更好时，又有什么发生呢？我们变得有点恼怒。我们的偏好会阻碍心的工作。

个人注解：区分好坏是自我对自然的评判，是对自然规律的干预，这将阻碍我们客观的观察。
