今天，我们行海洋坐禅。坐禅是没有形象的，不是坐在禅堂才是坐禅。大自然给我们很好的教导，有如大海，无量的广阔，我们的真心也如是。可是人类执着一个我，把自己框起来，心里就变小了，认为自己是波浪，认为我的波浪比别人大，就制造对立，其实我们是大海的一部分。硬把自己孤立起来，心变小了，就生活在苦海里，我们的生命就像波浪，起起落落，不得自在。

[继闻法师 90日禅修2022年]

Today, we do ocean meditation. Sitting meditation is without forms, sitting in a Zen hall is not the only form of sitting meditation. Nature gives us great teachings, just as the ocean, infinitely vast and wide, our true mind is just like this too. But humans are attached to a self, they box themselves in, the mind within then becomes small, and regard myself as a wave, regard my wave as bigger than others, create opposition, actually we are a part of the ocean itself. Really isolating ourselves, such a mind becomes small, and live in the ocean of suffering, our lives are like waves, ups and downs, unable to be at ease.
