金光明經文句 6.15

6.15

廣答遠緣，由醫王救疾，故言〈除病品〉。通取後〈流水品〉。文為五：一緣本、二遠緣、三近緣、四結緣、五會緣。從「佛告樹神」下明緣本，如文。從「像法中」下明遠緣。遠緣為六：一明父、二生子、三國人遇病、四其子請、五父為說、六知已遍治。

To answer extensively regarding distant conditions, it is named the Chapter on Curing Illness because the king of physicians rescued [sentient beings from] sickness. It is taken comprehensively together with the subsequent Chapter on Jalavāhana. The text is divided into five parts: first, the origin of the conditions; second, distant conditions; third, proximate conditions; fourth, tying the conditions; fifth, converging the conditions. From 'The Buddha told the tree spirit' downward clarifies the origin of the conditions, as in the text. From 'During the semblance Dharma' downward clarifies distant conditions. Distant conditions are divided into six: first, clarifying the father; second, the birth of the son; third, the people of the country contracting disease; fourth, his son making a request; fifth, the father expounding it for him; sixth, having understood, treating everywhere.
