You say that you are too busy to meditate. Do you have time to breathe? Meditation is your breath. Why do you have time to breathe but not to meditate? Breathing is something vital to people’s lives. If you see that Dhamma practice is vital to your life, they you will feel that breathing and practicing the Dhamma are equally important.
你說你太忙沒時間禪坐，那你有時間呼吸嗎？禪坐就是你的呼吸，為什麼你有時間呼吸而沒時間禪坐呢？呼吸對人們的生命而言，是非常重要的。如果你視法的修習對你的生命而言，非常重要的話，那麼，你就會覺得呼吸和修習法是同等重要的。
