治禪病祕要法 1.21

1.21

「復次，舍利弗！若行者欲行禪定，宜當善觀四大境界隨時增損。春時應入火三昧，以溫身體。火光猛盛，身體蒸熱，宜當治之。想諸火光作如意珠從毛孔出，焰焰之間作金蓮華，化佛坐上說治病法。以三種珠，一者、月精摩尼，二者、星光摩尼，猶如天星，光白身青，三者、水精摩尼，想此三珠一照頭上、一照左肩、一照右肩。見三珠已，想身毛孔出三珠光極為清涼，身心柔軟，入火三昧不為所壞（是名治火大三昧法）。

"Furthermore, Śāriputra! If a practitioner wishes to practice dhyāna-concentration, they should properly observe the realms of the four great elements, adapting to their increases and decreases according to the season. In spring, one should enter the fire samādhi to warm the body. When the firelight is fierce and blazing, and the body steams with heat, one should cure it. Visualize the lights of fire turning into cintāmaṇis emerging from the pores; between flame and flame, golden lotus flowers are made, with transformed Buddhas sitting upon them explaining methods for curing illness. Using three kinds of jewels—first, the moon-essence maṇi; second, the starlight maṇi, which is like a celestial star, white in light and blue-green in body; third, the water-crystal maṇi—visualize these three jewels, one illuminating the head, one illuminating the left shoulder, and one illuminating the right shoulder. Having seen the three jewels, visualize the pores of the body emitting the light of the three jewels, which is extremely cool, rendering the body and mind supple, so that entering the fire samādhi, one is not destroyed by it. (This is named the method for curing the samādhi of the fire element.)
