治禪病祕要法 1.69

1.69

「治之法者，先當數息，繫心令定，想一丈六像——身紫金色，三十二相——在耆闍崛山七寶窟中坐寶師子座，與諸四眾說除貪法。告言：『法子！汝觀貪人所著袈裟、六物、眾具，如棘刺林針縫之中，當生劍樹、百千鐵釘、鐵𭉨諸蟲啄食其身。融銅鑊湯、鐵鋸、鐵床是汝坐具；沸屎、毒蛇、鐵丸鑊湯、刀林劍戟、百億棘刺、火河流銅、灰漿膿血是汝飲食。』

"The method for curing it: one should first count the breath, tethering the mind to make it settled. Visualize a sixteen-foot image—purple-golden in body, with the thirty-two marks—sitting on a jeweled lion throne within the seven-jeweled cave of Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa, expounding the method for eliminating greed to the fourfold assembly. [The image] says: 'Son of the Dharma! Contemplate the kāṣāya, six articles, and requisites worn by a greedy person: they are like needle-stitched seams in a forest of thorns, where sword-trees and hundreds of thousands of iron nails and iron-beaked worms will arise to peck and devour your body. Molten copper in caldrons, iron saws, and iron beds are your sitting mats; boiling feces, venomous snakes, iron pellets in caldrons, forests of knives, swords and halberds, tens of billions of thorns, rivers of fire with molten copper, ash broth, pus, and blood are your food and drink.'
