六妙法門 1.14

1.14

患數為麁，意不欲數。爾時行者應當放數修隨。隨亦有二：一者修隨，二者證隨。修隨者，捨前數法，一心依隨息之出入，攝心緣息，知息入出，心住息緣，無分散意。是名修隨。證隨者，心既微細，安靜不亂，覺息長短，遍身入出，心息任運相依，意慮恬然凝靜。

Troubled by counting as coarse, the intention no longer wishes to count. At that time, the practitioner should let go of counting and cultivate following. Following also has two kinds: first, cultivating following; second, realizing following. Cultivating following: one relinquishes the previous practice of counting and single-mindedly relies on following the ingress and egress of the breath, collecting the mind to focus on the breath, knowing the breath entering and exiting, the mind abiding on the breath as its object without any thought of dispersal; this is called cultivating following. Realizing following: the mind having become subtle, tranquil and undistracted, one perceives the length of the breath, entering and exiting throughout the entire body; the mind and breath spontaneously rely on each other, and conscious thoughts are serene and concentratedly still.
