摩訶止觀 7.71

7.71

若人修四三昧，道品調適，解脫不開而慳貪忽起，激動觀心，於身、命、財守護保著。又貪覺緣想，須欲念生，雖作意遮止而慳貪轉生。是時當用檀捨為治。修三昧時破戒心忽起，威儀麁獷，無復矜持，身口乖違，觸犯制度。淨禁不淳，三昧難發。是時當用尸羅為治。修三昧時瞋恚悖怒，常生忿恨，惡口兩舌、諍計是非。此毒障於三昧，是時當修忍為治。修三昧時放逸懈怠，恣身口意，縱蕩閑野，無慚無愧，不能苦節。如鑽火未熱數數而止。事𠐳之人尚不辦世務，況三昧門？是時應用精進為治。修三昧時散亂不定，身如獨落，口若春蛙，心如風燈。以散逸故法不現前，是時應用禪定為治。修三昧時愚癡迷惑，計著斷常，謂有人、我、眾生、壽命；觸事面牆，進止常短，不稱物望。意慮頑拙，非智黠相，是時當用智慧為治。

If a person cultivates the four samādhis and adjusts the factors of the path, but liberation does not open and stinginess and greed suddenly arise, agitating the contemplative mind so that one guards and clings to body, life, and wealth; or if greedy discursive thoughts and associations arise, giving birth to desires in thought, and although one intentionally arrests them, stinginess and greed increase all the more—at this time, one should use giving (dāna) as the antidote. When cultivating samādhi, if a mind to break the precepts suddenly arises, deportment becomes coarse and unbridled, one no longer maintains restraint, body and speech are unruly, and one violates rules, so that pure restraint is not unadulterated and samādhi is difficult to generate—at this time, one should use moral discipline (śīla) as the antidote. When cultivating samādhi, if anger and furious resentment constantly produce indignation and hatred, harsh speech, divisive speech, and contentious dispute over right and wrong, this poison obstructs samādhi—at this time, one should cultivate patience (kṣānti) as the antidote. When cultivating samādhi, if negligence and indolence give rein to body, speech, and mind, running wild and loose, lacking shame and conscience, unable to undergo bitter discipline—like drilling for fire, repeatedly stopping before it gets hot, so that one who fails in worldly matters cannot even manage worldly affairs, let alone the gate of samādhi—at this time, one should apply vigor (vīrya) as the antidote. When cultivating samādhi, if distraction and instability arise, the body tossing about like a single stray leaf, the mouth chattering like spring frogs, the mind fluttering like a lamp in the wind, so that due to scattering and negligence the Dharma does not manifest—at this time, one should apply meditation (dhyāna) as the antidote. When cultivating samādhi, if stupidity and confusion give rise to attachment to annihilationism and eternalism, asserting that there is a person, a self, a sentient being, or a soul, facing a wall in every affair, always deficient in action and restraint, failing to meet others' expectations, with thought dull and clumsy, devoid of the signs of wise acumen—at this time, one should use wisdom (prajñā) as the antidote.
