什麼叫「定力」呢？「定」有股力量，這股力量支持你的身體不歪不斜，不前俯，不後仰，就是進入禪定了。

What is meant by samadhi power? Samadhi has a certain power that supports and maintains your body in an upright posture so that you do not lean forward or tilt backward. Sitting upright effortlessly, you can enter Chan samadhi.

「定」中有一種快樂，這種快樂說不出來，也無法形容，因為它超越思慮，超越內心所能想像，所以說「言語道斷」「心行處滅」。這種「禪樂」，是持續不斷的快樂。

In the midst of samadhi, there is an unimaginable joy that is inexplicable and indescribable. Because it surpasses what your mind can imagine, it is described like this:

The path of words and speech is cut off.
The place of the mind's activity is gone.

In Chan samadhi, you will experience a bliss that is continuous and unceasing.

有了禪定的樂，你就會生出極大的勇猛精進心。這種勇猛精進心很堅固，很有力，沒有任何力量可以擋得住它。

Experiencing the bliss of Chan samadhi inspires in us courage and vigor that surpasses the ordinary. That kind of courage and vigor is extremely strong and powerful. No other forces can overcome that type of power.

I am a light sleeper tonight.
What makes me so excited ... I do memorize lots of things in my childhood, walking from home to grandma's home, which is more than two hours walking, I am quite surprised I could almost recall the entire scene throughout the way, as well as walking from my home to elder aunt's home.
Those were memories when I was 10 only, while I am 31 already.
How time flies...

What are we supposed to do in the face of so much senseless pain? And he said to me,"What else can we do but take what seems meaningless and try to make something meaningful from it?"

在这些无意义痛苦面前，我们该怎么做？他告诉我：“除了从无意义的事中，尽力挖掘出一些有意义的东西，我们还能做什么呢？”
