What is "Vipassana"? 什么是"内观"? Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are. "内观", 是如实观察事物的实相. It means "insight" in the ancient Pali language of India. 在古代印度巴利语的意思为"洞悉, 察觉". Vipassana itself contains nothing of a sectarian nature, and can be accepted and applied by people of any background. "内观"并不属于某种教派, 任何人都可以尝试. A lot of people ask, so what am I going to think during the meditation? 有很多人问我, 在"冥想"时, 你到底在想什么? You need to think about nothing and only focus on your sensation, focus on "here and now" 其实, 在冥想的时候, 你只需要洞悉身边的一切, 专注于自己的内心, 专注于自己的任何"感官, 感知" 专注于"当下/现在" This center I chose for Vipassana is located in Saboo Village, 我选择了"内观"的其中的一个中心, 在列城区的"Saboo"村 20-30mins drive from Leh Main Market. 从列城主集市出发, 车程约20-30分钟 Elevation 3500m 海波为3500米 It is one of the most remote center, surrounded by mountains. 是其中一个较为偏远的"内观'中心 When the moment I arrived in the center, "I am here", "Yes, I am". 当我到达中心后, 我可以感觉到, 我真的在"这里" "我"在这里  |
| In the end of Jan, it's still very cold in Saboo Around -10 - -30+ celsius 一月底, Saboo村庄还是非常的冷 大概在-10至-30多摄氏度之间 All the water pipes are frozen, we needed to break the ice to get water. 所有的水管都被冻住了, 无法使用 有时候我们需要"凿冰取水" And through the solar system to get hot water. 之后通过太阳能设备去获取热水 It was very tough especially in the night time. 在晚上的时候, 你想要再取水, 可真是要做好心理准备 Well, yes, you need to shower over the buckets. 当然, 你需要用桶来洗澡 Actually it was not that bad when you washed your hair in the sink. 其实, 在水池里面洗头, 并没有想象中的糟 During noon time, I sat under the sun, and it got dry petty fast 我喜欢在午时的时候, 坐在石头上, 晒着太阳 其实头发很容易就干了 As for the domitory, men and women have seprated area, 然而, 女生和男生有分开指定的住宿区域 same with the dining hall, and in the meditation hall 用餐处和冥想处也是, 都是男女分开 Three people share one dorm, 三人一个房间 We got lucky for girls, We had only five girls, so we can stay seprated. 而这次我们很幸运 参与这次10天静修的女生只有5人, 所以我们一人一间房 At the beginning we have 20 people for the Vipassana, and in the end we got 16 left. 一开始的时候, 总共参与的人数有20人 到最后, 16人坚持了下来 During the course, it's ok for you to leave. Just speak with the management. 在这10天期间, 如果你想退出, 是可以的, 只需要告诉管理人员便可 Normally this center is packed of people during the summer, 在夏天的时候, 这个中心充满了参与者 and you need to apply few months before, 而且你需要在几个月前就开始申请了 since it's cold winter, not so many people sign up in this location. 然而, 由于严冬, 有很多人不会选择这个中心 I found even better, because I've found my "crazy people" 我觉得这样更好, 而且我遇到了一班"志同道合"的朋友  |

| At the beginning, I am like "why it's not allowed to meditate in your room" anymore!? 当我看到这个日程表的时候, 为什么不能在房间里面冥想呢? 本来是有这一项的 To be honest, I didn't follow all the rules completely this time. 实话说, 我这次并没全部遵守规则 But still, I followed most of them. 但, 我还是做到了98% As for "meditate in your room or in the hall" even though they took out this option, 日程上本来写着"在静修厅冥想或是在房间冥想" 虽然他们把在房间冥想这一项去除了 but actually I did meditate in my room. 但是, 有时候我还是留在了房间冥想 Well, I do prefer to mediate next to my window and feel the sun on my face. 我喜欢在窗边冥想, 喜欢太阳光洒在我的脸上.  |
| "Every human being is conditioned to assume that the real world is outside, that the way to live life is by contact with an external reality, by seeking input, physical and mental, from without. Most of us have never considerd severing outward contacts in order to see what happens inside. The idea of doing so probably sould like choosing to spend hours staring at the test pattern on a television screen. We would rather explore the far side of the moon or the bottom of the ocean than the hidden depths within ourselves"每个人都有条件假设: 现实世界在外面, 生活方式是通过与外部现实的接触, 通过寻求身体和精神上的投入, 从无到有. 我们大多数人从未考虑过切断与外界的接触, 为了看清自身内在发生的事, 这样的方式, 可能就像选择花几个小时盯着电视屏幕上一样, 我们宁愿探索月球的另一端或海底, 也不愿探索其中的隐藏深度 - 我们自身 By exploring the here-and-now of ourselves we can explore the world. 当我们认知到属于你自己的"当下/现在" 这样我们可以探索全世界.  |
| "Anicca" means impermanent. "Anicca"意味着"暂时的" And "Samskara"means Mental formation. "Samskara"意味着"精神上的反应" This two words is my summary for my ten days course. 而这两个词是我10天静修的总结 And it follows me along the way in the future. 它们会一直跟随、陪伴着我 It can't change your life by only taking this course, It needs practice in your daily life. 当然, 这10天不能完全改变你的人生, 但是这需要在日常生活中不断练习 In this 10 days, a lot of scenes passed in front of my eyes, 在这10天中, 冥想的时候就像看电影一样, 有许多场景在我眼前划过 in the same time, I let go of my "samskara" step by step, and focus on "now" 同时, 慢慢的我学会"放下" 慢慢的我学会"洞悉当下/现在"  |
