治樂音樂法
The Method of Music for Healing and Joy
「復次，舍利弗！若四部眾樂諸音樂，作倡無厭，因是動風，如縱逸馬、亦如秋狗、似伊尼利鹿王，耽惑愚癡，心如黐膠，處處隨著不可禁制，當疾治之。
"Furthermore, Shariputra, if members of the four assemblies delight in music and performances without end, this stirs up the winds of attachment, like a horse let loose, like a dog in autumn, or like the stag king of the Iṇi lineage—bewildered and foolish, their minds stuck like glue, following after everything with no restraint. They should urgently correct this."
「治之法者，先想一天女端正無雙，兩手自然有諸樂器，聲萬種音。行者見已，見此天女過於外色百億萬倍、聞此天聲世所無比，因是惑着觀色、聽聲。因是當教觀此女人六情諸根所起境界，數息力故見可愛眼生六毒蛇，從眼根出，入耳根中；復見二蟲，狀如鵄鵂發大惡聲，破頭出腦爭取食之；餘四根中，見猫、見鼠、見狗、野干爭取食之。因是得見一切女色，三十六物污露不淨——子藏蛔蟲為女瓔珞，見女所執諸雜樂器宛轉糞中，諸蟲鼓動作野干鳴，所說妖怪不可聽採，如羅剎哭——因是厭離。詣智者所，說前所作惡不善業，誠心懺悔。智者應當教無常觀。」
The method for counteracting this is to first visualize a celestial maiden of unparalleled beauty, with all kinds of musical instruments naturally appearing in her hands, producing ten thousand kinds of sounds. When the practitioner sees this, they perceive this celestial maiden as surpassing ordinary worldly beauty by billions of times, and hear celestial music beyond compare in the mortal realm. Because of this, they become attached, gazing at her form and listening to her sounds.
At this point, they should be taught to contemplate the states arising from this woman's six sense faculties and their objects. Through the power of breath counting, they see that from the lovely eyes emerge six poisonous snakes, which crawl out from the eye faculty and enter the ear faculty. They also see two creatures, shaped like owls, making terrible sounds, breaking through the head and fighting over the brain to eat it. In the remaining four faculties, they see cats, rats, dogs, and jackals fighting to devour one another.
Through this, they come to see all female form as consisting of thirty-six impure and filthy substances—exposed and unclean. The womb and its parasites appear as the woman's ornaments, and the various musical instruments she holds are seen tumbling in excrement. The insects wriggle and make sounds like jackals howling, and what they speak is monstrous and impossible to listen to, like the weeping of demons.
Through this, the practitioner becomes disenchanted and turns away. They then approach a wise teacher, confessing the evil and unwholesome deeds done in the past with a sincere heart, seeking repentance. The wise teacher should then instruct them in the contemplation of impermanence.
告舍利弗：「汝好受此治音樂法，慎莫忘失。」
Shariputra, I tell you: "Receive this method of healing through music with care, and be sure never to lose it."
時舍利弗及阿難等聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。
