四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 3.323

3.323

其瞻病者，隨其前人，病有強弱，心有利鈍，業有麁細，情有去取；當依志願，隨後述之。或緣西方無量壽佛，或兜率彌勒佛，或靈鷲釋迦本師；或身本無人，妄自立我；或外相似有，實自空無，如至焰處，則無水相；或為說唯識無境，唯情妄見。各隨機辯而誘導之。

As for the caregiver, according to the person before him—whether the illness is severe or mild, whether the mind is sharp or dull, whether the karma is coarse or subtle, and whether the inclinations are toward rejection or acceptance—he should follow his aspirations and subsequently recount them: either focusing on the Buddha of Immeasurable Life (Amitāyus) in the west, or the Maitreya Buddha in Tuṣita, or our original teacher Śākyamuni on Vulture Peak; or explaining that the body fundamentally lacks a person and one delusionally establishes a self; or that external appearances seem to exist but are in reality empty and nonexistent, just as when one reaches the place of a mirage, there is no appearance of water; or explaining consciousness-only and the absence of external objects, which are merely the delusional views of the mind. In each case, one guides him according to capacity and eloquence.
