all of a sudden, everybody is practicing mindfulness

所以突然間 大家都在練習正念

everybody says they're practicing mindfulness

每個人都說他們在練習正念

but as i said, this is hard work, i mean this is not just a concept

但是如同我所說, 這是一件辛苦的事 我是指它並不只是一個概念而已

so it does require, in some sence ,a radical change in your own lifestyle

它需要每天騰出時間做練習 從根本去改變你自己的生活

to carve out some time everyday to practice,

我是很嚴肅在說這件事: 無所作為、不做任何事(non doing)

and I'm serious about this, non doing

重要且嚴肅的是:別把它看得太嚴肅 --我可是很嚴肅的在講這件事

this is so serious that it is important not to take too seriously ,and I'm serious about that,

它需要很多的幽默

so lots of humour is required

但它也需要.... 以我為例

but it also involves, to say, in my case for instance

每天提早起床

getting up early, day in, day out

然後把時間空出來

and making time to just be

不做任何事 沒有電子郵件 沒有電話 沒有電視 什麼也沒有

nothing, having no email, no phone calls, no television, no, you know, nothing

就只是坐著 或者躺下來

just sitting and, or lying down

你可以坐著、站著、躺著 或者走路

you can do this sitting, standing, lying down, walking

一天之中 騰出一些時間去做正規的禪修練習

but it just devoting sometime during the day to what we call formal meditation practice

那很難 讓生活方式改變 很困難且需要很多的次數

that's hard, making that lifestyle change is hard and enormous

我們的患者做了上千次之多

and our patients do it by the thousands

直到就像一般人過生活一樣 把它運用於生活 就像水對於鴨子一樣

so it's like regular people can take to this and do, like ducks to water

就像把你的人生還給你自己一樣

because it's like giving your life back to yourself

但是 誰有時間去做這麻煩事呢 ?

but who's got time for this crap?

所以 與其練習正念 還不如去"談"正念比較好

so it's much better to talk about mindfulness than it is to actually practice

因為練習可是件苦差事

because that's hard work
