2.56

Mañjuśrī said: "Householder, how should a sick bodhisattva subdue their mind?" This is the first, asking about the method of internal subduing. The five aggregates afflict the body, but this can only be temporarily consoled; for ultimate eternal bliss, one must reside in this body [...]. This encourages cultivating the contemplation of non-seeking to subdue [the mind] internally. The five aggregates afflict the body. [Seng]zhao says: "Above, he asked about the proclamation of consolation; now he asks about the method of subduing the mind. When there are skilled consolations outwardly and skilled subduing inwardly, one can traverse birth and death, sharing illness with the multitude of beings, fully experiencing bitterness and hardship without considering it suffering. This is the reason Jingming dwelt in illness. Intending to show beginners the path of dwelling in illness, he therefore raised this question."
