Second, explaining curing illness through visualized imagination: this is fully and extensively explained in the seventy-two methods of the Saṃyuktāgama and the Secret Methods for Curing Dhyāna Illness. However, because people today have dull faculties, when they perform these visualizations they mostly do not succeed. Or, failing to grasp their meaning, not only do they fail to cure the illness, but they even increase various afflictions. Therefore, for masters who have skillfully grasped the meaning, if they possess secret essentials and apply visualized imagination, there is no case where it does not heal; however, it cannot be completely recorded in writing.
