my feeling我的感覺 或 a feeling 一種感覺； 如何生與滅…

• Then there is a way of practising mental development (‘meditation’) with regard to all our sensations or feelings, whether happy, unhappy or neutral. Let us take only one example. You experience an unhappy, sorrowful sensation. In this state your mind is cloudy, hazy, not clear, it is depressed. In some cases, you do not even see clearly why you have that unhappy feeling.
  • 還有一種發展心智的方法，是關係我們的一切感受的；愉快的、不愉快的、既非愉快亦非不愉快的。 舉一個例子：比方你正經驗到一種不快樂而悲哀的情緒。在這種情況下，你的頭腦模糊不清，情緒低落。有時候，你甚至於不明白為什麼會有這種不快的情緒。
• First of all, you should learn not to be unhappy about your unhappy feeling, not to be worried about your worries. But try to see clearly why there is a sensation or a feeling of unhappiness, or worry, or sorrow. Try to examine how it arises, its cause, how it disappears, its cessation. Try to examine it as if you are observing it from outside, without any subjective reaction, as a ^^scientist^^ observes some object.
  • 第一，你先得訓練自己不為不快的情緒而不快，不要為了煩惱而益增煩惱。 而須設法清楚的看到為什麼會有不快、煩惱或悲哀的情緒或感覺。 設法審察它如何 #c:green^^生起^^，生起的原因，以及如何 #c:green^^消失^^，如何止息。 要以一種置身事外的態度去觀察審度它，不要有絲毫主觀的反應；須像^^科學家^^觀察事物一樣。
• Here, too, you should not look at it as ‘^^my feeling^^’ or ‘my sensation’ subjectively, but only look at it as ‘^^a feeling^^’ or ‘a sensation’ objectively. You should forget again the false idea of ‘I’.
  • 在這裡，你也不可以「^^我的感覺^^」、「我的情緒」的主觀態度來看它， 而只應客觀地視之為「^^一種感覺^^」、「一種情緒」。 你又得忘掉「我」的虛妄觀念。
• When you see its nature, ^^how it arises^^ and ^^disappears^^, your mind grows dispassionate towards that sensation, and becomes detached and free. It is the same with regard to all sensations or feelings.
  • 你一旦看出它的本質，它如何^^生起^^，如何^^消失^^， 你心中對這情緒就漸漸的變得冷靜淡漠，無動於中，而成為超脫自在。 對於一切感受與情緒都是如此。
