問：對病興治，分齊有幾？修行之要，故請示之。答：病有二種：一麁，謂巧偽修行；二細，謂執見不破。前中亦二：一、內實破戒而外現威儀等；二、假全不破，為他知故、求名利故、狡滑故、伺狎故、不直故、護短故。第二、細中亦二：一、雖具直心而執我修行；二、雖不執有人而計有法，實見不破故。對治之藥亦有二種：一麁，亦二：謂於諸過非而不覆藏，深愧懺悔；二、於所修行不雜巧偽，皆質直柔軟，作下下意不顯己德。第二細中，亦二：一、諸修行時知無我人，不計疲苦；二、觀察諸法等不二，一相無相，入理究竟。二、通說者，但深觀諸法平等之時，於上諸病無不治盡，此是大乘修行法門，依《佛藏經》義說。

Question: In applying remedies according to disease, how many demarcations are there? This is essential for cultivation, so please explain it. Answer: There are two kinds of disease: 1. coarse, which refers to deceitful cultivation; 2. subtle, which refers to not breaking through attachment to views. In the former there are also two: 1. internally in fact violating the precepts while externally displaying deportment and the like; 2. even if not violating them at all, doing so for the sake of being recognized by others, seeking fame and profit, being cunning, sycophantic, dishonest, and defensive of faults. In the second, the subtle, there are also two: 1. though possessing an upright mind, cultivating with attachment to a self; 2. though not attaching to a person, conceptualizing phenomena as existent, because real views are not broken through. The remedies are also of two kinds. The coarse is also twofold: 1. not concealing faults and misdeeds, and repenting with deep shame; 2. in what one cultivates, not mixing in deceit, being completely straightforward and pliant, adopting a most humble mind, and not displaying one's own virtues. In the second, the subtle, there are also two: 1. at all times of cultivation, knowing there is no self and no person, and not reckoning weariness and hardship; 2. contemplating all phenomena as equal and non-dual, of a single characteristic which is non-characteristic, penetrating principle to the utmost. 2. Stated comprehensively: simply when deeply contemplating the equality of all phenomena, none of the above diseases will fail to be cured completely. This is the practice of the Mahāyāna, explained in accordance with the meaning of the *Buddhadharmakośa-sūtra*.
