學員問：請教老師，在家裏坐，有很多人怎麼實證？
The student asked: Master, how can people practice meditative positivism while sitting at home?
清涼月老師：
Master Qingliangyue:
你說的是有很多的外因，就是外界的干擾。對於打坐的人來說，沒有外界的干擾，關鍵看你會利用不會利用。比如說，來了很多人，很多朋友，你們聚會怎麼的，然後你告訴大家，我現在困得很，想睡一覺，然後你就坐在那裏，假裝睡眠，你就儘管睡，在睡覺的過程中，你能體驗到睡眠來了、昏沉來了，體驗昏沉來之後，這時候你開始悄悄的起觀。
You are talking about many external factors, which are external interferences. For practitioner, there is no external interference. The key is whether you can make use of it or not. For example, many people, many friends, come to a party, and then you tell everyone that you are very sleepy and want to take a nap. Then you sit there and pretend to sleep. Just sleep. During the sleep process, you can experience the coming of sleepiness and drowsiness. After experiencing the coming of drowsiness, you can start to observe quietly.
怎樣觀？不是稀奇古怪的幹什麼的、觀什麼的不需要，你僅僅只要觀周圍人，知道周圍人他們在幹什麼這就可以了，對周圍保持清醒的覺知，這就是練第一步。
How to observe? You don’t need to do anything strange or observe anything. You just need to observe the people around you and know what they are doing. Keep a clear awareness of the surroundings. This is the first step of practice.
當你對周圍感覺清醒覺知的時候，你覺知非常明顯的時候，同時你能體驗到身體在睡眠，身體在昏沉中這樣就可以，這個第一步就完成了，基礎就已經打牢了，你能把這個練得非常地純熟。
When you are clearly aware of your surroundings, when your awareness is very obvious, and at the same time you can experience that your body is sleeping and in a daze, that's it. The first step is completed, the foundation has been laid, and you can practice this to become very proficient.
然後接下來無非是完成第二步，就是悄悄地觀專注。但是因為有這麼多人，你不想讓人家知道你在練禪定的，因為一旦你觀專注，一旦這個專注升起，那麼你的身體會不由自主變得非常挺拔，而一旦你身體挺拔，人家會說這個人是神經病，不知道在幹什麼的，所以在這個階段，你就準確地保持第一個階段就行，等到將來沒人的時候了，你再觀專注。
Then the next step is nothing more than completing the second step, which is to quietly observe concentration. But because there are so many people, you don’t want others to know that you are practicing subconscious concentration, because once you observe concentration, once this concentration arises, your body will involuntarily become very straight, and once your body is straight, people will say that this person is crazy and doesn’t know what he is doing, so at this stage, you just need to accurately maintain the first stage, and wait until there is no one in the future, then you can observe concentration.
一旦觀專注，身體逐漸逐漸就變得非常、非常的挺。所以對於實證的人來說，關鍵在於會不會利用周圍的環境、利用生活進行實證，而不在於在生活中有沒有實證的時間、有沒有實證的機會，任何時間、任何地點都能實證。最好的實證的地方就是十字街頭，十字街頭實證是最有利於練這種功夫的。
Once you observe concentration, your body will gradually become very, very straight. So for those who practice meditative positivism, the key is whether they can use the surrounding environment and life to practice, not whether they have the time or opportunity to practice in life. Practice meditative positivism can be done at any time and any place. The best place to practice meditative positivism is at the crossroads. Practice meditative positivism at the crossroads is the most conducive to practicing this kind of kung fu.
