禅宗祖师说要「站得住、站得长」，「站得住」就是悟到一念不生，自己在悟境中找到一个落脚处，不管在顺境或逆境，都能保持这种心境；「站得长」就必须经常薰修，继续安住在无生的境界，这才是工夫。
The Chan patriarchs said: “stand firm and stay firm.” Standing firm means after one has realized and found a footing in the “non-arising mind” in which no thought is raised, one firmly dwells in this realization, whether things are going well or getting rough. Staying firm means to practice regularly so one can maintain the state of non-arising. This is cultivation.
