治禪病祕要法 1.22

1.22

「復次，舍利弗！秋時應當入地三昧。入地三昧見此地相：百千石山、鐵山、鐵圍山、金剛山從頭至足，三百三十六節各為百千山，山神巖㟧，爾時應當疾疾治之。治地大法，想此諸山一一諦觀猶若芭蕉，如是次第，如經十譬，一一諦觀。爾時，但見十方大地如白琉璃，有白寶花，見舍利弗、目連、迦葉、迦旃延坐白金剛窟，履地如水，為行者說五破、五合，說地無常。行者見已，身心柔軟，還得本心（是名治地大法）。

"Furthermore, Śāriputra! In autumn, one should enter the earth samādhi. Entering the earth samādhi, one sees these earth marks: hundreds of thousands of stone mountains, iron mountains, Iron Ring Mountains, and vajra mountains from head to foot, the three hundred and thirty-six joints each becoming hundreds of thousands of mountains, with craggy mountain spirits. At that time, one should swiftly cure it. As for the method for curing the earth element, visualize these mountains, contemplating each and every one clearly as like a plantain tree; in this order, contemplate each and every one clearly according to the ten similes of the sūtras. At that time, one sees only the great earth in the ten directions like white vaiḍūrya, with white precious flowers, and sees Śāriputra, Maudgalyāyana, Kāśyapa, and Kātyāyana sitting in white vajra caves, treading on the ground as if it were water, explaining the five destructions and five combinations for the practitioner, and explaining the impermanence of earth. Having seen this, the practitioner's body and mind become supple, and they recover their original mind. (This is named the method for curing the earth element.)
