Ajaan Fuang once said that without this sense of fullness, refreshment, or rapture, your meditation gets dry.

阿姜放曾经说，没有这股充沛、清新、或者说喜乐感，你的禅定就会变得枯燥。

Ajaan Fuang once had a student, an old woman, who started practicing meditation with him when he was getting ready to leave Wat Asokaram.

阿姜放过去有个弟子，是一位老妇人，前来开始跟他学修禅定时，他正在准备离开阿育王寺。

That was when I began to get a sense of why Ajaan Fuang had asked me to memorize the chant, why he wanted all of his students to think about their present experience in terms of the properties.

那时候，我才开始懂得为什么阿姜放要我背诵这段诵文，为什么他要他的所有弟子都从元素的角度思考他们的体验。
