修習止觀坐禪法要 1.120

1.120

五、身受觸時修止者。隨所覺觸，即知如影，幻化不實。若受順情樂觸，不起貪著；若受違情苦觸，不起瞋惱；受非違非順之觸，不起憶想分別，是名修止。云何身受觸時修觀？應作是念：「輕重、冷煖、澁滑等法，名之為觸；頭等六分，名之為身。觸性虛假，身亦不實；和合因緣，即生身識。次生意識，憶想分別苦樂等相，故名受觸。」反觀緣觸之心，不見相貌。當知受觸者及一切法，畢竟空寂，是名修觀。

Fifth, cultivating calming when the body experiences tangible objects: Whatever touch is sensed, one immediately knows it is like a shadow, illusory and unreal. If experiencing agreeable, pleasurable touch, one does not give rise to greed and attachment; if experiencing disagreeable, painful touch, one does not give rise to anger and vexation; if experiencing touch that is neither disagreeable nor agreeable, one does not give rise to conceptualizing discrimination. This is called cultivating calming. How does one cultivate contemplation when the body experiences tangible objects? One should think thus: "Phenomena such as lightness, heaviness, cold, warmth, roughness, and smoothness are termed touch; the six parts beginning with the head are termed the body. The nature of touch is provisional, and the body is also not real; with the coming together of causes and conditions, body consciousness arises. Next, mental consciousness arises, conceptualizing and discriminating marks such as pain and pleasure; therefore it is termed experiencing touch." Reflexively contemplating the mind that conditions touch, one sees no appearance [of it]. One should know that the receiver of touch and all phenomena are ultimately empty and tranquil. This is called cultivating contemplation.
