Visuddhimagga VI-24

Vihārato nikkhamanteneva asukadisāya asukadvārena nikkhantomhīti dvāraṃ sallakkhetabbaṃ.

从寺院出来的时候当注意观察：「我是从某方，某门出来的」。

Ñ(VI,24): As he goes out of the monastery he should note the gate: 'I have gone out in such a direction by such a gate'.

Tato yena maggena gacchati, so maggo vavatthapetabbo, ayaṃ maggo pācinadisābhimukho vā gacchati, pacchimauttaradakkhiṇadisābhimukho vā vidisābhimukhovāti.

此后行路之时，当观察那道路「这路是向东方走的，或向南、西、北方，或向四维」。

Ñ: After that he should define the path by which he goes: 'This path goes in an easterly direction … westerly ... northerly ... southerly direction' or 'It goes in an intermediate direction';

Imasmiṃ pana ṭhāne vāmato gacchati, imasmiṃ ṭhāne dakkhiṇato, imasmiṃ cassa ṭhāne pāsāṇo, imasmiṃ vammiko, imasmiṃ rukkho, imasmiṃ gaccho, imasmiṃ latāti.

又「这里向左折，这里向右走，在什么道路的地方有岩石、蚁塔、树林、灌木、蔓草」等，

Ñ: and 'In this place it goes to the left, in this place to the right'; and 'In this place there is a stone, in this an ant-hill, in this a tree, in this a bush, in this a creeper'.

Evaṃ gamanamaggaṃ vavatthapentena nimittaṭṭhānaṃ gantabbaṃ.

在路上都应一一确定，趋向于（不净）相处而行。

Ñ: He should go to the place where the sign is, defining in this way the path by which he goes.

Visuddhimagga VI-23

106. Tasmā yo cittasaññattatthāya sivathikadassanaṃ gacchati, so ghaṇḍiṃ paharitvā gaṇaṃ sannipātetvāpi gacchatu.

如果他只为调心而去墓场看尸体的，则应鸣钟集众同行。

Ñ(VI,23): So if he goes to the chamel ground to test his control of mind, let him do so after striking the gong or summoning a chapter.

Kammaṭṭhānasīsena pana gacchantena ekakena adutiyena mūlakammaṭṭhānaṃ avissajjetvā taṃ manasikaronteneva susāne soṇādiparissayavinodanatthaṃ kattaradaṇḍaṃ vā yaṭṭhiṃ vā gahetvā, sūpaṭṭhita bhāvasampādanena asammuṭṭhaṃ satiṃ katvā, manacchaṭṭhānañca indriyānaṃ antogatabhāvasampādanato abahigatamanena hutvā gantabbaṃ.

若以业处为首要之目的，则应不舍其（念佛等的）根本业处，于彼作意，为了避免冢间的犬等的危险，须拿手杖或棍 [PTS 182]，坚住（于念佛等的根本业处），作念不忘，内摄第六意及诸根令不外向，无双单独而行。

Ñ: If he goes there mainly for [developing that] meditation subject, let him go alone with no companion, without renouncing his basic meditation subject and keeping it always in mind, taking a walking stick or a staff to keep off attacks by dogs, etc., [182] ensuring unremitting mindfulness by establishing it well, with his mind not turned outwards because he has ensured that his faculties, of which his mind is the sixth, are turned inwards.
