……修习。作者既是资深禅修者，又曾是神经科学教授。这本书循序渐进地传授冥想方法，非常容易上手。另一本神作是《Mindfulness, Bliss, and Beyond: A Meditator's Handbook》（https://www.amazon.com/Mindfulness-Bliss-Beyond-Meditators-H...）。
…practice. The author is both a long term meditator and used to be a neuroscience professor. The book teaches meditation in a stage by stage way which is very easy to follow. Another excellent book is "Mindfulness, Bliss, and Beyond: A Meditator's Handbook" (https://www.amazon.com/Mindfulness-Bliss-Beyond-Meditators-H...).
很高兴在 HN 上看到有人提觉音（Buddhaghosa）！顺便插一句不太搭边但相关的，我最近听了阿姜布拉姆（Ajahn Brahm）的《Mindfulness, Bliss and Beyond》的有声书。在《清净道论》（Visuddhimagga）之外能这么频繁地听到别人讨论“禅相”（nimitta），真是让人惊喜！深入研读佛教注疏和修习手册来为禅修提供建议和指导……
Happy to see Buddhaghosa on HN! On a semi related tangent, I recently listened to the audio book of Ajahn Brahm's Mindfulness, Bliss and Beyond. It was pleasantly surprising to hear nimitta spoken about so frequently outside of the Visuddhimagga! Ingesting Buddhist commentaries and practice manuals to provide advice and help with meditation…
……关于如何学习冥想有许多流派，从“只管打坐！”（en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikantaza）到对坐姿、心境等极度详尽的指导，不一而足。我觉得《Mindfulness, Bliss and Beyond》里实操手册的那部分写得极好。另一本佳作是《Turning the Mind into an Ally》。祝你好运，也别忘了享受这个过程！
…many schools of thought on how learn meditation, ranging from "just sit!" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikantaza) to very detailed instructions on posture, states of mind, etc. I thought the manual part of "Mindfulness, Bliss and Beyond" was very well written. Another good one is "Turning the Mind into an Ally". Good luck and remember to enjoy the journey!
……就像小船突然猝不及防地撞上了岸……整个人被震慑、震撼得无以复加（因为心智中包含着世界的模型——感觉就像世界震动了一下，然后瞬间定格了）。一本很棒的“极客指南”是《Mindfulness Bliss and Beyond》，作者在剑桥拿了物理学学位，还跟随阿姜查修习了整整 9 年。如果我们把别的东西误当成了“禅那”（jhana），比如某种积极的感觉，那我们就会困在盲目培育这种……
…boat that suddenly unexpectedly hits the shore... It rocks and blows the mind (and as the mind contains model of the world - it feels like the world shook a bit then froze). A good "geeks guide" is "Mindfulness Bliss and Beyond" written by someone who finished a physics degree at cambridge and spent 9 years with Ajahn Chah. If we instead mistake something else for "jhana" like some positive feels, we're going to be stuck cultivating…
我对这些不太熟，但我认识的一些修习传统禅那（jhana）的人，我觉得有些人是把一种叫做“有分心”（bhavanga）的深定状态误当成了禅那。（在阿姜布拉姆的《Mindfulness Bliss and Beyond》第 140 页，以及帕奥禅师书的前几页都提到过这一点，说它经常被误认为是禅那和涅槃——一种心行止息的状态）。
I'm not that familiar with them but the people I know that do the traditional jhanas I think some think they are mistaking a profound state called "bhavanga" for jhana. (It's mentioned page 140 of Mindfulness Bliss and Beyond by Ajahn Brahm and in the first few pages of Pa Auks book as something often mistaken for jhana and nibanna - a sort of cessation).

我最喜欢的是阿姜布拉姆写的《Mindfulness, Bliss and Beyond》。
My favourite is Mindfulness, Bliss and Beyond by Ajahn Brahm.
