治噎法
Method for Treating Choking
「復次，舍利弗！若阿練比丘用心大急、數息太麁、眠臥單薄，因外風寒、因動脾管、脾、腎等脈，諸筋起風、逆氣胸塞、節節流水停住胸中，因成激血氣發頭痛、背滿諸筋攣縮，當疾治之。
"Furthermore, Shariputra, if a forest-dwelling monk breathes too forcefully in his meditation, sleeps under thin covers, and is exposed to wind and cold, this can disturb his spleen and kidney meridians. The wind energy then rises improperly, causing chest congestion, fluid retention, joint pain, and reverse flow of energy. This leads to blood and energy blockages resulting in headaches, back tension, and muscle spasms. Such conditions should be treated promptly."
「治之法者，先服肥膩世間羙藥，然後仰眠，數息令定，想阿耨達池其水盈滿，滿一由旬，底有金沙、四寶、金輪，生黃金華大如車輪。花中有四寶——獸頭象鼻出水、師子口出水、馬口出水、牛口出水——繞池七匝，阿耨達龍王七寶宮殿在四獸頭間。
"The method for treating this is to first take rich, nourishing worldly medicine, then lie on your back, settle your breath through counting, and visualize the Anavatapta Lake. This lake is filled with water, one yojana in depth, its bed covered with golden sand. At its bottom is a precious wheel made of the four treasures—gold, silver, lapis lazuli, and crystal—from which golden lotuses bloom, each as large as a chariot wheel. Within each lotus are four treasures: the heads of four beasts—an elephant's trunk pouring water, a lion's mouth pouring water, a horse's mouth pouring water, and an ox's mouth pouring water. These beasts circle the lake seven times. Between their heads stands the seven-jeweled palace of the Naga king Anavatapta."
「龍王頂上如意珠中，龍王力故生一千五百雜色蓮華、青蓮花五百，尊者賓頭盧等五百阿羅漢各坐其上，日暮則合、晝時則開，有七寶蓋在比丘上、有七寶床在蓮華下。五百金色蓮花，淳陀婆等五百沙彌各坐其上，日暮則合、日晝則開，有七寶蓋在沙彌上、有七寶床在蓮華下。五百紅蓮花，尊者優波難陀、和須蜜多等大阿羅漢，或言是大菩薩眷屬五百，各坐其上，日暮則合、日晝則開，有七寶蓋在比丘上、有七寶床在蓮花下，有七寶高臺長八千丈從下方出。
At the tip of the wish-fulfilling jewel atop the dragon king’s head, the dragon king’s power brought forth one thousand five hundred multicolored lotus flowers, including five hundred blue lotuses. The venerable Piṇḍola and five hundred other Arhats each sat upon one of these flowers. At dusk, the flowers closed; at dawn, they opened. Above each monk hovered a canopy of seven treasures, and beneath each lotus was a bed of seven treasures.
Five hundred golden lotuses emerged, and five hundred novice monks, led by Cunda, sat upon them. At dusk, they closed; at dawn, they opened. Above each novice was a canopy of seven treasures, and beneath each lotus, a bed of seven treasures.
Five hundred red lotuses appeared, and the venerable Upananda, Vasumitra, and other great Arhats—some said they were great Bodhisattvas—five hundred in all, sat upon them. At dusk, they closed; at dawn, they opened. Above each monk was a canopy of seven treasures, and beneath each lotus, a bed of seven treasures. A towering terrace of seven treasures, eighty thousand feet tall, rose up from the world below.
「當阿耨達龍王宮前有五百童子在其臺上，身真金色，第一童子名曰闍婆、第二童子名曰善財，第五百童子名灌頂力。
Before King Anavatapata Naga’s palace, five hundred youths sat on a terrace, their bodies shining with true golden light. The first youth was named Jiva, the second was named Sudhana, and the five hundredth was named Abhiṣeka-bala.
「王若欲治噎病者，先念尊者賓頭盧等一千五百人——如上所說——令了了見已，尊者賓頭盧當將是闍婆童子取阿耨達龍王所服白色菴婆陀藥(菴婆陀藥者，味如甘蔗，形似藕根，味亦有似石蜜者)。服此藥已，噎病得差，四大調和，眼即明淨。
"If a king wants to cure his choking illness, he should first call to mind the venerable Venerable Piṇḍola and the other 1,500 Arhats as described above, so that he can see them clearly. Then the venerable Piṇḍola will bring the Jīvaka boy to obtain the white apple medicine(The apple medicine has a taste like sugarcane, a shape like a lotus root, and a flavor also like rock candy.) that the Dragon King Anavatapta wears. After taking this medicine, the choking illness will be cured, the four elements will become balanced, and the eyes will become clear and bright."
「若發大乘心者，闍婆善財等五百童子為說大乘法，因是得見跋陀婆羅等十六賢士，亦見賢劫彌勒等千菩薩。因發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心、具六波羅蜜；發聲聞心者，尊者賓頭盧為說四念處法乃至八聖道分，經九十日得阿羅漢道。」
"If someone gives rise to the mind of the Great Vehicle (Mahayana), then the celestial being Shan Cai and five hundred other youths will teach them the Mahayana teachings. Through this, they will come to see the sixteen noble sages including Bhadrapala, as well as the thousand bodhisattvas of the present fortunate age, including Maitreya. This will lead them to awaken the supreme enlightened mind and complete the six perfections. If someone gives rise to the mind of a listener (Shravaka), then the venerable Pindola will teach them the four foundations of mindfulness, up through the eightfold noble path. After ninety days, they will attain the state of an Arhat."
告舍利弗：「汝好受持此治噎法，慎莫忘失。」
He said to Shariputra, "You should take up this method for curing choking and hold it well in mind, being careful never to forget it."
時舍利弗及阿難等聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。
Then Shariputra, Ananda, and all the others who heard what the Buddha taught accepted it joyfully and put it into practice.
