In the practice of seated meditation, if one can apply the mind skillfully, the four hundred and four illnesses will naturally subside. If mental application loses its proper balance, it stirs up the four hundred and four illnesses. Therefore, whether practicing for oneself or transforming others, one should skillfully discern the sources of illness and skillfully know the internal mental methods for curing illness during meditation. If one does not know the methods of curing illness, once an illness is stirred up, not only will there be obstacles to practicing the path, but there will be danger to one's very life. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.4.76) - [Next: 4.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.4.78) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916~en-mt.4.77) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [修習止觀坐禪法要](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1915.1.153) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.4.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.4.77) · Pramāṇa
