治禪病祕要法 1.24

1.24

"Furthermore, Śāriputra! If a practitioner enters the wind samādhi and sees their own body as a nine-headed nāga, each nāga head having nine hundred ears and immeasurable mouths, with the body's pores, ears, and mouths emitting fierce wind like great ravines, one should urgently cure it. As for the method of curing it: one should teach the practitioner to observe their own body as a vajra seat, visualizing from the four sides four vajra wheels to hold this wind. The vajra wheels further produce seven vajra flowers, and atop the flowers, transformed Buddhas hold water-pitchers with their hands; within the water-pitchers is a six-headed nāga that moves its body and inhales the wind, causing the winds of the ten directions to become calm and unmoving. At that time, the practitioner again sees the seven Buddhas and the four great śrāvakas repeatedly explaining the seven factors of awakening, and gradually enters the eightfold noble path. (This is named the great method for curing internal wind.) Contemplating ghee-embrace makes the four great elements supple, and one gradually enters the realm of noble knowledge.
