10 ENJOYING OUR STEPS

【享受每一步】

行走冥想是为了享受行走本身——它不是通向某个目的的手段。我们不追逐任何目标，也不急于奔向前方。我们只是享受每一步，没有特定的目的地，因为我们已经到达了。

我们的心常常像猴子在树枝间荡来荡去一样，从一个念头跳到另一个念头，难以安歇。思绪有无数条路径，它们总是将我们拉入遗忘的世界。如果我们能将行走的道路转化为冥想的场域，我们的脚步将带着完全的觉知迈出每一步。我们的呼吸与步伐将和谐一致，我们的心也会自然地感到安宁。

[ENJOYING OUR STEPS]

Walking meditation is walking just to enjoy walking—it is not a means to an end. We do not put anything ahead of ourselves and run after it. We enjoy our steps with no particular aim or destination. We have already arrived.

Our mind tends to dart from one thing to another, like a monkey swinging from branch to branch without stopping to rest. Thoughts have millions of pathways, and they forever pull us along into the world of forgetfulness. If we can transform our walking path into a field for meditation, our feet will take every step in full awareness. Our breathing will be in harmony with our steps, and our mind will naturally be at ease.
