DOCX (0605-英文定稿) vs PDF (0624-二排-一校-0623) — discrepancies

Source of truth: DOCX manuscript. PDF is the typeset output.

---

1. Extra words in PDF

   DOCX: "The noble man is always at ease."
   PDF:  "The noble man is always broad-minded and at ease."

   → PDF adds "broad-minded and" not present in DOCX.

2. Nine stages of śamatha — completely different translations

   Stage  DOCX                          PDF
   -----  ----------------------------  --------------------------
   1      placement of the mind         placement of the mind
   2      continuous attention          continuous placement
   3      repeated attention            repeated placement
   4      close attention               close placement
   5      tamed attention               taming the mind
   6      pacified attention            pacifying the mind
   7      fully pacified attention      fully pacifying the mind
   8      single-pointed mind           single-pointing
   9      balanced mind                 balanced placement

   → DOCX uses noun phrases with "attention" / "mind".
     PDF uses gerunds with "placement" / "the mind" / "-ing".

3. self‑reflection → self-assessment

   DOCX: "standardized self‑reflection guides"
         "self‑reflection checklist"
   PDF:  "standardized selfassessment guides"
         "self-assessment checklist"

   → DOCX uses "self‑reflection" (2 occurrences in conclusion).
     PDF uses "self-assessment" (same as the term used earlier in the body).

---

4. "or restlessness" dropped in PDF

   DOCX: "When wandering thoughts or restlessness arise, they find it
          difficult not only to accept these thoughts, but also to
          accept themselves."
   PDF:  "When wandering thoughts arise, they find it difficult..."

   → PDF omits "or restlessness".

---

5. ", during meditation," repositioned in PDF

   DOCX: "Some people even get caught in inner knots that have been
          unresolved for decades during meditation, with all kinds of
          emotions entangling them without end, unable to let them go."
   PDF:  "Some people, during meditation, even get caught in inner
          knots that have been unresolved for decades, with all kinds
          of emotions entangling them without end, unable to let them go."

   → PDF moves "during meditation" earlier and wraps it in commas.

6. Other PDF typesetting errors (not DOCX-vs-PDF but visible in the PDF)

   a) Double space after deleted text (p.85)

      PDF:  "When wandering thoughts  arise, they find it difficult…"
      Note: After "or restlessness" was dropped (see #4), the extra
            space was not collapsed — "thoughts  arise" shows a double
            space visible in the typeset output.

   b) Space before comma (p.87)

      PDF:  "…have been unresolved for decades , with all kinds of
             emotions entangling them…"
      Note: There is an extra space between "decades" and the comma
            that should not be there.
