Secret Methods for Curing Meditation Sickness Sutra (治禪病秘要法)


治水大猛盛因是得下

The great flood of water raged fiercely, and because of this, it subsided.

「復次,舍利弗!若有四眾入水三昧,遍體水出不見身心,猶如大海。出定時,飲食不甘,患心下熱,水脈增動,患下不止,當疾治之。

"Furthermore, Shariputra, if any of the four assemblies enters the water samadhi, water flows from the entire body and the body and mind are no longer perceived, just like the great ocean. Upon emerging from this concentration, one finds food and drink tasteless, suffers from heat in the heart region, feels an increase in the water element's activity, and suffers from incessant lower-body discharge—this should be promptly treated.

「治之法者,想一金翅鳥,比丘乘上,於大海中遊行無畏,諸龍、羅剎皆悉驚走。鳥取龍食,龍畏怖故,吸水都盡,化為四蛇。金翅鳥王口銜四蛇,比丘坐上求水不得。金翅鳥王眼出火燒蛇,諸蛇驚怖——猶如幻夫所作幻人隱沒不現——入比丘身。從是出定,應服世間斷下之藥,想二火珠,一在胃管溫煖諸脈、一在糞門狀如熱石;想雪山神名欝多伽,身長六丈,白如珂雪,持一香藥名娑呵那伽授與行者。服此藥時,先發無上菩提之心。一服藥已,四百四病終身不動;何況下耶?

To treat this condition, visualize a golden-winged garuda. A monk rides upon it, roaming fearlessly across the great sea. All the dragons and demons flee in terror. The garuda catches the dragons and feeds on them. Frightened, the dragons suck up all the water, which then transforms into four serpents. The garuda king holds the four serpents in its beak, but the monk on its back finds no water to drink. The garuda king's eyes emit flames that burn the serpents, causing them to panic—like illusions created by a magician that vanish into thin air—as they enter the monk's body. Rising from this meditation, one should take medicine to expel what lies below. Visualize two fire pearls: one in the stomach duct, warming the various channels, and one at the anus, like a hot stone. Visualize the snow mountain deity named Yuduojia, towering six zhang tall, white as a conch or snow, holding a fragrant medicine called Sahena and offering it to the practitioner. When taking this medicine, one should first arouse the mind of supreme enlightenment. Once the medicine is taken, all four hundred and four illnesses remain undisturbed for life—how much more so for what lies below?

「若令彼神疾疾來者,當淨澡浴、不食五辛、不飲酒、不噉肉,於靜寂處一心數息、稱彼神名、念彼神像。一日至七日,雪山大神與十二白光神等至行者前,先為說法,後授與藥,復教十二門禪。彼諸神等皆是五地大菩薩也。

If you wish for that spirit to come swiftly, you should bathe and purify yourself, refrain from eating the five pungent herbs, drinking alcohol, or consuming meat. In a quiet and secluded place, focus your mind on counting your breaths, call that spirit’s name, and visualize its image. From the first day to the seventh day, the Great Spirit of the Snow Mountains and the twelve white-light spirits will appear before the practitioner. They will first teach the Dharma, then bestow medicine, and further instruct in the twelve gates of meditation. These spirits are all great bodhisattvas of the fifth stage.

「若有病者,應先念彼欝多羅伽神,次念勇健神、強力神、雄猛神、智行神、自在神、善臂神、鳩摩羅神、難勝神、白光明神、白光明王神、藥王神等十二白光神。既得見已,於一一神所各問異法門。彼諸神等先令行者得見彌勒菩薩,於彌勒菩薩所見文殊師利等一切諸菩薩及十方佛。

If someone is ill, they should first call to mind the deity Uttara, then the deities of Valor, Strength, Boldness, Wisdom, Freedom, Noble Arms, Kumara, Invincibility, Pure Radiance, King of Pure Radiance, and the King of Healing—these twelve deities of white light. Once they appear, the practitioner may ask each one about different teachings. These deities will first guide the practitioner to see Maitreya Bodhisattva, and through Maitreya, they will behold Manjushri and all the other Bodhisattvas, along with the Buddhas of the ten directions.

「若此人過去世不犯四重禁、現在世不破四重禁,見諸神時即見道跡。若犯戒者,是諸神王教已懺悔,足滿千日然後得見彌勒菩薩及文殊師利諸大士等,後獲道跡。」

If this person did not commit the four grave offenses in past lives, and does not break them in the present life, then upon seeing the deities, they will immediately perceive the path to enlightenment. If they have broken the precepts, the divine kings will teach them to repent. After a full thousand days of repentance, they will then be able to see Maitreya Bodhisattva, Manjushri, and other great beings, and subsequently attain the path.

告舍利弗:「若有行者因水致下動四百四病,欲得治者,當疾服是娑呵等藥,除病無患、滅業障海、疾見道跡。是故,汝等善好受持,慎莫忘失。」

Then the Buddha said to Shariputra: "If any practitioner experiences lower-body disorders among the four hundred and four ailments caused by water imbalance, and wishes to be cured, they should promptly take medicines such as the *suohe* formula. This will eliminate illness without harm, dissolve the vast ocean of karmic obstacles, and swiftly realize the path. Therefore, all of you should receive and uphold this teaching carefully, and never forget or lose 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.
