二、垖惕鬼者，亦作種種惱亂行人，或如蟲緣人頭面鑽刺熠熠，或擊攊人兩掖下，或乍抱持於人，或復言說音聲喧鬧，及作諸獸之形，異相非一，來惱行人者，應即覺知，一心閉眼，陰而罵之，作是言：「我今識汝。汝是此閻浮提中食火嗅香偷臘吉支，邪見、喜破戒種。我今持戒，終不畏汝。」若出家人，應誦戒序，若在家人，應誦三歸、五戒、菩薩十重四十八輕戒等，鬼便却行，匍匐而去。如是作種種留難相貌，及除却之法，並如禪經中廣說。

Second, startling and terrifying ghosts: they also produce various disturbances for the practitioner, appearing like insects crawling over a person's head and face, drilling and piercing with a prickling sensation, or poking and striking a person under both armpits, or suddenly seizing and holding a person, or producing noisy voices and chatter, as well as assuming the forms of various beasts, manifesting extraordinary signs of more than one kind to come and disturb the practitioner. One should immediately become aware, close the eyes with a focused mind, and internally scold it, saying: 'I now recognize you! You are in this Jambudvīpa a fire-eating, scent-smelling sthūlatyatyaya, a lineage of wrong views fond of breaking precepts. I now uphold the precepts and will never fear you!' If one is a monastic, one should recite the preface to the precepts; if one is a layperson, one should recite the three refuges, the five precepts, and the bodhisattva's ten major and forty-eight minor precepts, whereupon the ghost will step backward and grovel away. Manifold forms of obstacles and difficulties produced like this, as well as the methods for dispelling them, are all explained in detail in the dhyāna sūtras.
