幸福学
American scientists once conducted an experiment in which the participants were Tibetan Buddhist practitioners of meditative concentration. The researchers utilized, on one side, brainwave patterns to measure changes in brainwaves, and on the other, magnetic resonance imaging to locate brain activity. In the end, they concluded meditation can not only change brain activity in the short term, it can, with great likelihood, change brain activity permanently. In other words, with meditation, one can completely eliminate anxiety, sadness, and other negative feelings, create a sense of happiness, even restructure the brain.
美国科学家曾做过一个实验，实验的对象是学习藏传佛教禅定的修行人。在实验室中，实验者一边用脑电波图测量脑波的变化；一边用功能性核磁共振测量脑部活动的位置。最后得出结论：通过禅修，不但能够短期改变脑部的活动，而且非常有可能促成脑部永久的变化。这就是说：通过禅定，完全可以断除人的焦虑、哀伤等很多负面情绪，创造出心灵的幸福感，甚至可以重塑大脑。
Thus, whether we are corporate executives or workers under great pressure, if we can meditate every evening for twenty minutes or half an hour, and let go of the negative emotions accumulated over the course of a day, we will be able to maintain a happier state of mind going into our sleep. In so doing, we effectively regulate both body and mind. According to psychologists, five minutes of deep meditation is equivalent to an hour of sleep. Hence, the practice of meditation every evening helps not only to regulate both body and mind, but also to maintain a high energy level.
所以，无论是企业高层，还是其他高压力工作者，只要能每天晚上打坐二十分钟或半个小时，将一整天在工作、生活中累积的负面情绪都过滤掉，这样就能保持比较愉悦的心情，之后进入睡眠，如此则能达到调节身心的作用。心理学家说：冥想五分钟，可以达到一个小时睡眠的效果。所以，每天晚上打打坐，不仅可以调节身心，还能保持充沛的精力。
It is not necessary to forgo family, life, or work to practice meditation. While enjoying material wealth and family life in this world, we can make time for practice on a regular basis. If we can stay calm and relaxed in the midst of life’s activities, we will be able to experience happiness that comes from the deep recesses of our mind.
修禅的人，不需要放弃家庭、生活、工作，可以在享受物质财富与天伦之乐的同时，拿出一定的时间修禅。这样动中有静、张弛有度，就能体验到来自于心灵深处的幸福。
