佛法最珍贵的宝藏其实就是止观，即修禅，只有修止观，才能明心见性，才能断烦恼、证菩提，才能了脱生死。修止观，嘴上容易，实际不简单，如果一个人福德不够，也做不到，所以修禅的福德资粮也十分重要。

　　In fact, the most precious treasure of the teaching of the Buddha is Buddhist meditation （śamatha: calm abiding, and vipaśyanā： insight）， that is, dhyāna （Chan） meditation practice. Only when meditation （śamatha,vipaśyanā ）， is practiced can one understand his mind and nature, break his worries, attainBodhi （awakening）， and transcend the cycle of births and deaths.  It is easier said than done in terms of meditation practice. If one is not good enough in blessing and virtue,he or she cannot do it. Therefore, the resource of blessing and virtue for meditation is also very important.
