佛說佛名經 18.12

18.12

「眾等相與即今身心寂靜無諂無障，正是生善滅惡之時，復應各起四種觀行以為滅罪作前方便。何等為四？一者、觀於因緣；二者、觀於果報；三者、觀我自身；四者、觀如來身。

"All of us together right now have tranquil bodies and minds, free of deceit and free of hindrances. This is precisely the time to give rise to good and extinguish evil. We should further each undertake four kinds of contemplative practice to serve as preliminary skillful means for extinguishing sins. What are the four? First, contemplating causes and conditions; second, contemplating karmic retributions; third, contemplating my own body; fourth, contemplating the Tathāgata's body.
