Description:
山居生活主要在斷塵絕緣, 不下山、不出山門、持午、斷食……漸進修持,不可躐等。
Life in the mountains mainly consists of cutting off connections with the world.
For example, one does not leave the mountain, nor the monastery.
One does not eat past noon and fasts.
Cultivating progressively, there is not a step that can be skipped.
