Tks Master v much for ur morning time! For No 6 I will relax more n continue to try e awareness of breath method Maybe I am not calm enough to be aware of my breath. I also notice there is another awareness to watch upon whether I am sleepy or calm during my meditation.Hv a beautiful Wed ahead!
He hee... Still got no 7 I forget The 戒 jing取 is it meaning craving for Buddhist knowledge n still having e thought one can keep e precepts well?

師答:
戒 jing取 means to obey the wrong percept and think it will bring you to the heaven. E.g. a dog eat his excrements before going to heaven, one learn the dog's action and eat excrements in order to go to heaven. This is 戒禁取, one misunderstand some percepts or action because all the wrong percepts cannot lead us to the heaven.
