法苑珠林 95.11

95.11

如僧祇律云。若道逢出家五眾病人。即應覓車乘馱載。令如法供養乃至死時亦應闍維殯埋。不得捨棄。病人有九法成就必當橫死。一知非饒益食而貪食。二不知籌量。三內食未消而食。四食未消而擿吐出。五已消應出而強持。六食不隨病。七隨病食而不籌量。八懈怠。九無慧。

As the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya states: 'If one encounters sick persons of the five monastic assemblies on the road, one should promptly look for carts or draft animals to convey them, make offerings to them in accordance with the Dharma, and even when they die, one should cremate and bury them, and must not abandon them. There are nine factors by which a sick person is bound to suffer untimely death: first, greedily eating food known to be unwholesome; second, not knowing how to measure moderation; third, eating before earlier food is digested; fourth, picking at the throat to vomit food before it is digested; fifth, forcefully holding back what is digested and should be expelled; sixth, food not according with the illness; seventh, eating food that accords with the illness but without moderation; eighth, indolence; ninth, lack of wisdom.'
