Volume 1 The 10th Word of the Youth of the Dead (1/2)
The hall of the temple, which was fully cooled down, was filled with silence, and it would be rejected if a cough was heard.
The feet are lotus seats.
Place your nails near your knees.
Move the body slightly to adjust the posture.
Then straighten the chin back to the chin, as if using a stick through the world.
In the wide hall of the temple, quietly close your eyes.
「……………………」
The vision is blocked, minimizing the stimulation of hearing, touch, smell, and taste.
Exhale, inhale.
Slowly turn the breath shallower and slower.
Calculate the exhalation and inhalation as one calculation.

Focus only on counting the matter.
Do not think about other things.
If the distractions come to light, count them again.
─ Entering no heart, this is not to think.
─ ─ This will think not to think, but into a meaningless cycle.
─ ─ The wandering of this concept can not make you into the heart.
─ Be unintentional
─ ─ To be truly unintentional, that is, to be single-minded
─ ─ concentrated on the present here, ”this moment”
─ Whether it is to recall what has passed.
─ ─ still dream of things that have not yet arrived.
─ All must be rushed out of their minds.
─ Just thinking about the present in front of one heart and one mind.
─ ─ throw yourself in front of God.
─ ─ not the past, not the present.
─ ─ just throw out the purest, now located here, and now.
─ ─ single-minded, sincerely only do this.
─ This is not a secret technique.
─ Thinking now, focus on it and throw yourself out.
─ ─ This is everything of ”unintentional prayer”
Though Mary's words appeared in her mind, it also disappeared during the counting period.

Just repeating the focus on counting things.
Do not think about other things.
There is wind.
There are birds singing in the distance.
Feel the skin feeling of sitting.
Just repeat the count.
Feel exhaled
Breathe.
Breathing sound
The agitation of the heart.
Just repeat the count.

Number!
Deeply
I do not know where I am.
It feels like diving into the blue sea.

I do not know where it is–

─ ─ How long has it been ”sneak”?
Bell, the bell sound that I think of makes me come back to reality.
Open the eyelids that have been closed, and the scenery of the temple looks more clear.
The sun is completely down, and the lights are shining around.
In the coldness of the cold, the carvings of the gods are reflected in the soft light of the flames, quite dreamy and gorgeous.
……Humans are used to all kinds of things.
If you are looking for something, you will see vaguely about what you are used to.
If you are listening to something, you will listen to the usual things vaguely.
The same is true for touching, sniffing, and taste.
This means that humans → more effective in responding to stimuli.
However, this also the reluctance to move, so that the sensibility is gradually paralyzed.
I like this moment of waking up from deep prayer.
As if born again, everything you see, the sound you hear, all can be clearly felt.
This refreshing feeling is like removing the dirt that sticks to the whole body.
Temporarily immersed in the aftertaste, slowly lifting the posture of the lotus seat.
Because of the long-term relationship of the same posture, the body is sore.
”Okay, Will, it's hard.”
Mary watched the timing and the bell was used to remind the end of the week.
”In this way, the practice of” Pray of Silence ”for five days is over.”
”Sin, hard work.”
……It is already 13 years old.
