三、明治法宜對不同。若行役、食飲而致患者，此須方藥調養即差。若坐禪不調而致患者，此還須坐禪善調息觀乃可差耳，則非湯藥所宜。若鬼、魔二病，此須深觀行力及大神呪乃得差耳。若業病者，當內用觀力、外須懺悔乃可得差。眾治不同，宜善得其意，不可操刀把刃而自毀傷也。今約坐禪略示六治：一、止，二、氣，三、息，四、假想，五、觀心，六、方術。

Third, explaining the methods of treatment and how their suitability differs. If a disorder is incurred through hard physical toil or food and drink, it requires medicines, formulas, and regimen, and then it will heal. If a disorder is incurred through improper seated meditation, it requires seated meditation with proper regulation of breath and contemplation before it can heal, and medicinal decoctions are not suitable for it. If they are the two illnesses of ghosts and māras, they require the power of profound contemplation practice and great divine dhāraṇīs before they will heal. If it is a karmic illness, one must internally use the power of contemplation and externally perform repentance, and only then can it heal. The various treatments differ; one should properly grasp their meaning, and not handle knives and hold blades only to wound oneself. Now, with reference to seated meditation, six treatments are briefly indicated: first, calming; second, therapeutic vocalizations; third, breathing; fourth, provisional visualization; fifth, contemplation of the mind; sixth, recipes and techniques.
