【精神食粮】

坐禅并不是我们出于责任或义务而做的事情。相反，它可以成为我们日常的滋养，就像吃饭一样。可以认为每天坐禅是一种精神食粮。当我们坐下时，我们产生正念的能量和一种使我们感到轻松的感觉，这滋养了我们的快乐。尝试定期练习坐禅。请不要剥夺自己和这个世界的精神食粮。当我们看到我们的修行是对自己和世界的滋养时，它会给我们带来快乐和让我们产生对生活有用的感觉。

[SPIRITUAL FOOD]

Sitting isn’t something we do as a duty or an obligation. Instead it can be part of our daily nourishment, like eating. Consider daily sitting meditation to be a kind of spiritual food. When we sit, we produce the energy of mindfulness and a feeling of ease that nourishes our joy. Try to practice sitting meditation regularly. Don’t deprive yourself and the world of this spiritual food. When we can see that our practice is nourishment for ourselves and for the world, it brings us joy and the feeling that we’re useful to life.
