Next, teach the practice of loving-kindness meditation (慈心观, Cixin Guan), first teaching to observe one's own body with a loving heart. After seeing it clearly, then teach to observe suffering beings. If (the practitioner) says: 'I see a great hell among the four mountains, filled with sinners suffering great pain. In a short while, suddenly there is an iron lid, covering all the sinners, preventing them from appearing.' This is the first matter. Teach to make a great vow with a loving heart: 'I shall save countless suffering beings and liberate them,' then generate a loving heart, sit on the iron lid, and break it open. If (the practitioner) says: 'I use these hands to break the iron lid, gradually breaking it completely, then look down and see many sinners suffering great pain. There are heavy iron wheels on the heads of the sinners, or in their bodies, or under their feet, large or small, pus and blood flowing out, immeasurable pain, crying loudly, unbearable. Again, I see countless instruments of punishment, punishing various sinners, immeasurable pain, impossible to describe in detail.' This is the second matter.

Teach to observe further. If (the practitioner) says: 'I see high mounds rising on the four sides of the hell, and in the middle there is a pool of pus and blood, and in four places in the pool, fire suddenly rises, burning various sinners, unbearable pain, crying and complaining.' If (the practitioner) says: 'I see this and compassion arises in my heart, and then clear water flows from my hands, sprinkling it in all directions, causing the fire to gradually extinguish, (the sinners) get a little rest.' This is the fifth matter. Teach to observe further. If (the practitioner) says: 'I see countless people coming from the mountains and entering hell, suffering various pains, immeasurable. After seeing this, compassion arises in my heart, and then I set up a raft at the pool, taking the place of these sinners, placing them on the raft, so they can rest. Everyone is like this (placed).'
