「被称做『刹那定』是因为它仅发生在内观中刹那间的注意力，不是像奢摩他那样固定住目标，

而是专注伴随心与身所产生的改变目标或现象，

一旦当内观行者达到强大且精细的注意时，产生一系列绵密不间断的刹那定，这种定，刹那刹那没有中断时，会变得非常有力，

它能克服五盖从而带来心的清净，这清净的心能给行者有能力去达成所有的内观智，直到阿罗汉的水准。
　　
纯内观行者能够激赏并了解刹那定力，当他们观察的注意力变成一种惯性，他们自己能看到那注意力，绵密不中断，这注意力似乎自发地连续形成的，如水蒸气网，行者不需做任何协调或刻意的努力。

因此，它通常能让行者坐上一个钟头，甚至好几个钟头，全神贯注地注意。在良好的注意力期间，特别是平衡的『行舍智』时，心只安置于它的目标上，而绝不会散乱，即使行者想让心散乱，也办不到，且退回到它所注意的内观目标，有些行者能够一口气坐上六、七个小时，甚至更久。

由此可知，刹那定必然被强化，否则行者如何能够全神贯注的坐上如此长的时间。
　　
因此，行者或准行者不要误会刹那定是弱的、无效用的。

诚然，在它尚未完全发展，它是弱的，但是一旦瞬间崛起它会变得非常强大，得以能够克服诸盖障。」

To Conquer Mara

Vipassana meditators should remain ever vigilant of Mara–that is, the arising of defilements in one’s mind.

✨
To conquer Mara just be aware of sensations, from moment to moment.
✨

As soon as one becomes vigilant, Mara and his army of impurities disappear.

As soon as the owner of the house wakes up, a thief takes off. If your mind is overcome with intense passion, realize this truth for one moment, “Oh! Passion has arisen in the mind”. That is it. As soon as you observe and understand this, passion disappears like a thief who has been seen, “O Mara, I have seen you.” The same goes for anger, ego, jealousy etc.

As soon as these thoughts of impurities arise, immediately observe the bodily sensations that arise with these thoughts. The defilements lose strength and pass away.

But do we do that?

Instead, as soon as impurities arise in the
mind, we start multiplying them by rolling in those defiled thoughts.

There is no trace of awareness. By rolling in impure thoughts, one gets overwhelmed with the impurity and repeats some unwholesome action. After a while one becomes aware and repents this foolishness of falling in the net of Mara. But how does that help? Only our awareness is instrumental in overcoming Mara if we catch him approaching with his battle cry. To repent afterwards is futile.

✨
Better to be alert and vigilant every moment.
✨

So come, let us liberate ourselves from the clutches of Mara, by removing impurities with Vipassana meditation.

Let us reap our welfare through the practice of observing sensations with equanimity from moment to moment.

In this lies the well-being of everyone.

With blessings,
Satya Narayan Goenka.

内观心语：内观禅修的特质就是要领悟生命的本质，要领悟神性，那你必需投入生命的怀抱，心无旁骛。一旦你自认为就是被选中的人，那么你就会开始做各种愚蠢的事情，因为当你声称，‘我是被选中之人’时，你就觉得你与众不同。
一旦你觉得你‘特殊’时，生命也会给你‘特殊’的对待。但这仅仅是拥抱生命，拥抱平凡的生命，就像一只蚂蚁，蚱蜢，一头大象，一棵树，一座山，一块石头那样地存在着。

生命本就单纯，没什么特别之处，有的只是平凡。如此平凡，到最后就是非凡。‘我们要与众不同’是一种病态。一旦你被它束缚，那么你会做各种愚蠢的事情以此来证明你的特殊，你会给自己招来那些对人对己完全不必要的事情。
还是那句话，想要领悟生命的本质，想要领悟神性，你只需投入生命的怀抱，心无旁骛。
