English version: 'It is as before.' This is the fifth case. Instruct him to observe his own body, making his mind subtle, and then instruct him to contemplate the Buddha. If he says, 'I see a hundred Buddhas to a thousand Buddhas, clearly as before,' this is the sixth case. Instruct him to observe his own body, making his mind subtle, and then instruct him to contemplate the Buddha. If he says, 'I see two hundred Buddhas to four hundred Buddhas, clearer than before,' this is the seventh case. Instruct him to observe his own body, making his mind subtle, and then instruct him to contemplate the Buddha. If he says, 'I see four hundred Buddhas to eight hundred Buddhas, their marks and characteristics becoming clearer,' this is the eighth case. Instruct him to observe his own body, making his mind subtle, and then instruct him to contemplate the Buddha. If he says, 'I see eight hundred Buddhas to a thousand Buddhas,' this is the ninth case. From one Buddha to a thousand Buddhas, carefully observe their marks and characteristics, making them extremely clear. Then, turning back to observe his own body as impure pus and blood, he should be taught to practice the contemplation of impurity. If he sees white bones, he should practice the contemplation of white bones. If he sees suffering beings, he should practice the contemplation of loving-kindness. If he does not see these things, he should contemplate one Buddha again, sincerely and earnestly seeking pity and repenting. This is the method of contemplating the Buddha for beginners. If approaching the stage of abiding, he should contemplate the Buddha extensively. If he says, 'I see one Buddha to hundreds of thousands, even numerous Buddhas, their marks and characteristics clear,' this is the tenth case. Instruct him to contemplate his own body, making it bright and pure, and then instruct him to contemplate the Buddha, generating a great vow and a mind of offering. He says, 'I see immeasurable Buddhas, and in front of the Buddhas, there are naturally flowers, which I take and offer, making them all-pervasive.' This is the eleventh case. Instruct him to observe his own body, making it bright and pure, and then instruct him to contemplate the Buddha. If he says, 'I see as before, and my heart is filled with joy,' instruct him to contemplate the Buddha sincerely, with the thought of wanting to make offerings. If he says, 'I see a natural flower tree spring forth, growing various colored flowers, and naturally someone takes these good flowers and gives them to me, which I offer and scatter on the Buddhas, making them universally pervasive, and the flowers do not diminish even when used up,' this is the twelfth case. Next, instruct him to sit beside the Buddha, observing his own body, making it extremely bright and pure, and then instruct him to begin from the east, directing his mind eastward, seeing countless Buddhas, and stopping when his mind is weary. This is the thirteenth case. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。
