声音简介

【钟声】

我十六岁开始邀请钟声，那是我成为一名见习僧侣的年龄。我们说“邀请钟声”，而不是“敲钟”，因为我们把钟视为一个朋友。我们想邀请它的声音进入我们的身体。邀请一个钟发出声音是一种非常简单的放松方式。当我们听到钟声时，我们吸气、呼气，并吸收那美妙的声音。就这样。如果我们没有钟，我们可以使用其他声音——电话铃声、飞机经过的声音、时钟的报时、电脑上的计时器，或我们周围的自然声音。我们甚至可以使用冲击钻或吹叶机的声音。

[The Sound of the Bell]

I started inviting the bell when I was sixteen years old, the age when I became a novice monk. We say, “invite the bell” rather than “strike the bell” because we think of the bell as a friend. We want to invite its sound into our bodies. Inviting a bell to sound is one very simple way to relax. When we hear the bell, we breathe in and we breathe out, and we take in that beautiful sound. That’s it. If we don’t have a bell, we can use another sound—a phone ringing, an airplane passing overhead, the chime of a clock, a timer on the computer, or the natural sounds around us. We can even use the sound of a jackhammer or a leaf blower.
