Some Dhamma brothers and sisters have asked me to reflect on how I practice at home. Since each individual is different, I don't think there is a universal formula that will work for everyone. My approach is suitable for me because of my own conditionings. Having said that, I would be pleased to share my reflections below.
一些佛友曾经询问我如何在日常生活中修行。因为每个人是不同的，所以我不认为有一个单一的方式适合所有人。我的方法适合我是因为这方法基于我自己生命中的条件。话虽如此，我还是很愿意分享一下我个人修习的方法，如下：
1. Never Give Up 永不放弃
Don't give up no matter how hard it seems to develop continuous awareness or wisdom. In the beginning of my daily life practice, if the mind had lost awareness, it just simply became aware in the present moment. It didn't get upset or disappointed. Why should the mind get upset? What for?
不要放弃培养持续的觉知或智慧，无论这看起来有多难。在我开始禅修日常训练的最初，如果心没有了觉知，仅仅就在当下开始保持观照。也不会觉得气馁或失望。为什么要为此感到失落?为何呢？
2. Everything is About and For Mindfulness Practice
一切皆觉知训练，一切也为了觉知训练
I organize my life around mindfulness practice, not the other way around.
When the mind needs to decide whether it should do or have something, it asks: "Will it benefit the meditation practice?"
Some years ago, I accepted a job which paid less but which allowed me to take leave to go on a retreat.
我的个人生活是围绕着禅修练习来安排的，而不是倒过来——让禅修来迎合生活。当心需要决定是否应该去做什么或要拥有一些什么，就会自问:“这么做是否有利于禅修？” 多年前，我接受了一份工作，虽然钱少但允许我请假去参加长期的禅修营。
3. Discipline纪律
I develop a daily routine that works for me and I stick to it. While I was working in downtown, I used the time on the bus (one hour each way) as the sitting meditation. After dinner, I went for an hour of walking meditation. The rest of time was mindfulness practice in daily activities.
我制定了一个对于我可行的日常计划并坚持执行。当我在市区工作，我利用乘车的时间来坐禅（单程1个小时）。晚餐后，我会外出行禅1个小时。剩余时间都在日常活动中保持正念。
4. Simplify One's life简化生活
For many years, I didn't have a cellphone because the mind didn't feel that it was necessary. I don't have a Facebook account and am happy not to have one.
很多年，我不用手机，因为觉得没有必要。我也没有Facebook账号，并觉得没有其实挺好的。
5. Record, Review and Reflect
记录/回顾/内省
I use a journal to record my mindfulness practice. These are the questions that the mind asks itself:
a) What has the mind learned from the experiences?
b) If the understandings are not increasing, why? What and how should the mind do to increase the understandings?
我用日记来记录禅修练习。以下是心自省的问题：
a. 在这些经验中，心有什么所学？
b. 如果理解并没有增加，为什么？应该如何来增加理解或应该做什么来增加理解？
6. Formal and Informal Learnings 正式和非正式学习
Belonging to a Buddhist association is beneficial. At one point, I was a member of five Buddhist groups. (Since then, I have reduced it to only two.) I went to their evening and weekend classes. I also read a lot of Buddhist books and online Buddhist materials.
加入一些佛教组织是有益的，曾有一段时间，我参加了5个佛教组织（自那以后，我减少至2个）。我去参加他们晚上和周末的课程。我也读了很多佛教书籍和在线佛教资料。
