雜阿含經

I hewed the main timbers six inches square, most of the studs on two sides only, and the rafters and floor timbers on one side, leaving the rest of the bark on, so that they were just as straight and much stronger than sawed ones. Each stick was carefully mortised or tenoned by its stump, for I had borrowed other tools by this time. My days in the woods were not very long ones; yet I usually carried my dinner of bread and butter, and read the newspaper in which it was wrapped, at noon, sitting amid the green pine boughs which I had cut off, and to my bread was imparted some of their fragrance, for my hands were covered with a thick coat of pitch. Before I had done I was more the friend than the foe of the pine tree, though I had cut down some of them, having become better acquainted with it. Sometimes a rambler in the wood was attracted by the sound of my axe, and we chatted pleasantly over the chips which I had made.


2008年3月21日，星期五，我在筆記本上寫下這段文字：

卷39 第827經

重點整理

• 修不淨觀斷貪欲。
• 修慈心斷瞋恚。
• 修無常想斷我慢。
• 修安那般那念斷覺想。

經過了一年的時間，2009年5月1日，也是星期五，我則寫下這個：

放空自己，包括好幾個部分：

1. 想要寫信給誰給誰，都可以不用。
2. 眼睛老花，以後看書寫字很吃力，就不要再看。
3. 想把電腦學好，這輩子不可能。
4. 手上的兩台電腦，一台筆記型，一台桌上型，可以用到死都不用再換。
5. 人生最重要的就是要放空自己！
6. 有能力的話，就讀讀《法句經》和《雜阿含經》。
7. 再有能力的話，就讀讀 《Walden》.
8. 再有能力的話，就讀讀 《Programming Abstractions in C》.
9. 要精進，精進，再精進，不放逸。
10. 學習安那般那念。
11. 只用減法，不用加法；減法即修行之法。
    

到現在為止都沒有什麼問題。

2010年，我多加了一條：

12. 學習寂止禪修(奢摩他)及內觀禪修(毗鉢舍那)。
