1.143

三、對治悉檀者,有法對治則有、實性則無。對治者:貪欲多,教觀不淨;瞋恚多,教修慈心;愚癡多,教觀因緣。對治惡病,說此法藥,遍施眾生,故名對治悉檀相也。

Third, regarding the therapeutic siddhānta: There is a dharma that exists therapeutically, but does not exist in its real nature. As for therapeutics: if greed is abundant, one is taught to contemplate impurity; if hatred is abundant, one is taught to cultivate loving-kindness; if delusion is abundant, one is taught to contemplate causes and conditions. To counteract bad diseases, this medicinal Dharma is preached and universally bestowed upon sentient beings; therefore it is called the characteristic of the therapeutic siddhānta.
