【回光调息第四】
4.Circulation of the Light and Making the Breathing Rhythmical
吕祖曰：宗旨只要纯心行去，不求验而验自至。大约初机病痛，昏沉散乱，二种尽之。却此有机窍，无过寄心于息。息者，自心也。自心为息，心一动，而即有气。气，本心之化也。吾人念至速，霎倾一妄念，即一呼吸应之，故内呼吸与外呼吸，如声响之相随，一日有几万息，即有几万妄念。神明漏尽，如木槁灰死矣。
Master Lu-tsu said, The decision must be carried out with a collected heart, and not seeking success; success will come of itself.In the first period of release there are chiefly two mistakes: indolence and distraction.But that can be remedied; the heart must not enter into the breathing too completely.Breathing comes from the heart.What comes out of the heart is breath.As soon as the heart stirs, there develops breath-energy.Breath-energy is originally transformed activity of the heart.When our ideas go very fast they imperceptibly pass into fantasies which are always accompanied by the drawing of a breath, because this inner and outer breathing hands together like tone and echo.Daily we draw innumerable breaths and have an equal number of fantasies.And thus the clarity of the spirit ebbs away as wood dries out and ashes die.
然则欲无念乎?不能无念也。欲无息乎?不能无息也。莫若即其病而为药，则心息相倚是也。故回光兼之以调息，此法全用耳光。一是目光，一是耳光。目光者，外日月交光也；耳光者，内日月交精也。然精即光之凝定处，同出而异名也。故聪明总一灵光而已。
So, then, should a man have no imagining in his mind? One cannot be without imaginings.Should one not breathe? One cannot do without breathing.The best way is to make a medicine of the illness.Since heart and breath are mutually dependent, the circulation of the light must be united with the rhythm of breathing.For this, light of the ear is above all necessary.There is a light of the eye and a light of the ear.The light of the eye is the united light of the sun and moon outside.The light of the ear is the united seed of sun and moon within.The seed is thus the light in crystallized form.Both have the same origin and are different only in name.Therefore, understanding(ear) and clarity(eye) are one and the same effective light.
