What are the four sicknesses? They refer to the four foul desires: first, the desire for robes; second, the desire for food; third, the desire for bedding; fourth, the desire for existence. There are four good medicines that can cure these sicknesses: first, robes made of rag patches can cure a bhikṣu's foul desire for robes; second, begging for food can shatter a bhikṣu's foul desire for food; third, sitting beneath a tree can shatter a bhikṣu's foul desire for bedding; fourth, tranquility of body and mind can shatter a bhikṣu's foul desire for existence. Removing these four sicknesses by means of these four medicines is called holy conduct. Such holy conduct can be called having few desires and being content." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 90.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.90.29) - [Next: 90.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.90.31) - [Up: 90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.90) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.90.30) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.90.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.90.30) · Pramāṇa
