佛陀是大医王，不仅医身体，也医我们的心。我们的心病是什么？我们看到喜欢的东西就贪，要捉着不放，捉不到就发脾气，就有嗔，所以贪嗔痴慢疑，认为这个东西是我的，有个我，不知道这个我是很多因缘和合才有，我也是假的，如果没有人支持你，你怎么生存，不要认为我是最厉害。.所以我们学法，简单的，学放松，怎么放松，怎么让身体放松，怎么让心清楚，那就是吸跟呼，从鼻子吸到能量中心，小腹升起并饱满，慢慢的呼，如此静坐而深呼吸，心就平静下来，不会发牢骚，不会闹情绪。.我们讲话之前也如此，先呼吸才讲，那就可以讲的清楚，讲对的话。

[继闻法师，90日禅修2022年]

The Buddha is a great medicine king, not only in healing the body, but our minds as well. What are our mind sicknesses? We are greedy for things that we like, gripping on to these and cannot let go, when we lose our grip we throw tantrum, then there is anger, therefore, there are greed, anger, ignorance, pride, doubt; Opining that this thing belongs to me, there is a self-identity, not realising that this self-identity exists from the joining together of various causes and conditions, even this self-identity is delusory, if not one person would support you, how would you go on, so do not opine that you are the most capable, powerful..We learn the Dharma, simply said, that is learning to relax, how to relax, how to let the body relax, how to let the mind be clear, that is, breathing in and breathing out, inhale from the nose to the energy centre, the lower abdomen rises and expand, then exhale slowly, just in this way sitting meditatively and breathing deeply, the mind quietens down, there is no whining, there is no venting of dissatisfaction. .Before we talk, just in this way too, first breathe then talk, then we can speak clearly, speak correctly.    [Ven. Chi Boon, alias Gye Mun Sunim, 90-day Zen Retreat 2022]
