English version: If a practitioner enters the Fire Samadhi (a state of meditative absorption), flames will arise from every joint, the large and small intestines will ignite simultaneously, and the fire channels will pulsate. Upon emerging from the Samadhi, the head will ache slightly, the meridians will twitch and contract, the eyes will turn red, and the ears will become deaf. If illness arises as a result, it should be treated promptly. The method of treatment is as follows: First, visualize a crystal urn (a container made of crystal), filled with water of various colors, in which grow various precious flowers. On each flower are hundreds and thousands of manifested Buddhas (Buddhas transformed from the original Buddha), and each manifested Bodhisattva emits a white beam of light from their brow, illuminating all the flames, transforming them into golden dragons. Upon seeing this, the practitioner should immediately rejoice and contemplate: placing the crystal urn below the flames, with the flower platform above, and going to the Buddha's abode, grasping the urn with their hands, which will immediately feel cool. Then, they should throw their entire body towards the urn and pay homage to the Buddha. Immediately, they will see the manifested Buddha emit light from between their eyebrows, raining down drops of nectar that scatter upon every joint, transforming the places where they fall into crystal. The nectar then irrigates the large intestine, filling both the large and small intestines with nectar, gradually extinguishing the flames and causing various precious flowers to grow. These precious flowers emit light, with colors of red and white. Furthermore, one should visualize Maheśvara (Maheśvara, the Great自在天), riding a golden bull, holding a precious vase filled with water, arriving before the practitioner. In the water are various medicines, the name of the medicine being 'Poison Breaker,' which the practitioner should take. Then, he should take a pearl called Chandraramani (Chandraramani, translated as 'Moon Essence' in the Song dynasty) and place it on the practitioner's head, causing various medicines to flow out, irrigating the ears, eyes, and nose. Upon seeing these, one will immediately be cured. Maheśvara (Maheśvara) is a great Bodhisattva who constantly enjoys playing in the Śūraṅgama Samādhi (Śūraṅgama Samādhi, a type of meditative absorption). He emits great light from between his eyebrows, transforming into a Buddha image, with five hundred immortals attending the World Honored One, who speaks the Dharma of the Amṛta-dvāra (Amṛta-dvāra, the gate of nectar) for curing illnesses to the practitioner. The Buddha cautioned Śāriputra (Śāriputra): 'You must uphold these methods well and never forget them.' At that time, Śāriputra (Śāriputra) and Ānanda (Ānanda), and others, hearing what the Buddha had said, joyfully followed and practiced. Method for Curing Fear and Loss of Mind Upon Seeing Inauspicious Things When Entering the Dhyāna of Earth 'Furthermore, Śāriputra (Śāriputra)! If a practitioner enters the Dhyāna of Earth and sees black mountains on all four sides, with countless Kumbhāṇḍas (Kumbhāṇḍa, a type of evil spirit) squatting on mounds of earth between the mountain rocks, manifesting ugly forms with distorted body parts. There are also five mountains, with Yakṣas (Yakṣa, a type of ghost or deity) rushing to arrive.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: From there will emerge evil spirits, all kinds of evil beasts. The Avici Hell's Vokushou Mountain God, the Eighteen Hells Gods, nine hundred million ox-headed wardens, eighty billion hungry ghosts, trillions of toilet worms, five hundred billion roundworms, and all sorts of changing things, hateful ghosts and spirits either holding knife mountains, or grasping sword trees, or shaking Mount Sumeru, or moving the Iron Ring Mountains, from Gandhara Mountain and so on. The practitioner will see his body filling the earth, all three hundred and thirty-six joints like high mountains, without gaps, water gushing out evenly. The four great poisonous snakes play in the water, fire coming out of their mouths; the ten evil Rakshasas walk in the fire, wind coming out of their ears, wind coming out of their anus, blowing the various mountains; all the ghosts and spirits come to glare angrily, wanting to dismember the practitioner. The practitioner is therefore frightened, even overjoyed to the point of madness. If this happens, it should be treated quickly. The method of treatment is, first, to visualize the Sun and the Sun God riding in a four-jeweled palace, playing hundreds of thousands of musical instruments, shining on the black mountain, making the black mountain gradually brighter. After visualizing the Sun successfully, visualize two Suns. After visualizing two Suns successfully, one should observe one's own white bones, three hundred and thirty-six joints, white as snow mountains, the sun shining on the snow mountains; then visualize above the head the Moon God riding in a four-jeweled palace, hundreds of thousands of attendants holding the moon pearl and placing it on his head. After this visualization is successful, visualize that on the third mountain there is another sun, the same as above; after seeing this sun, visualize again that on the skull white snow mountain, as above, there is another moon. Since the moon has been seen, visualize again that on the fourth mountain there is another sun shining on this black mountain; since the sun has been seen, one should visualize that the three hundred and thirty-six joints of the white bone mountain are all corner to corner, and between each corner there is a moonlight. The celestial holds two pearls in his hands, holding them facing each other, like this, between the corners of each joint, one should stop the mind, carefully observe for ten breaths, making it clear and distinct, seeing that each bone has the twenty-eight constellations, bright, clean, and lovely like seven-jeweled pearls. After this visualization is successful, visualize a Garuda King wearing a Mani jewel on its head, fighting and grabbing four snakes and six dragons, the snakes startled, the dragons --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

走。诸山鬼神一时惊动,状如黑色——皆是前身破戒果报——当勤忏悔严净尸罗。尸罗净故,日月光明倍更明显;若心念恶、口说恶言、犯突吉罗,摩尼珠上则雨黑土、日月坌尘、星宿不行。阿修罗王九百九十九手千头一时出现,映蔽日、月、星宿不现,此名为退,为恶心刀、恶口火,破戒贼之所劫夺。 “若欲服此胜甘露药,先当持戒净诸威仪,忏悔业障、恶不善罪。复当系心系意端坐一处,数息闭气,如前观于三百三十六节,使一一节角角相向。星月之属亦如上说。心复明利,见一一节间月光如衣、星光如缕,缝持相着;见四日出,四大海水三分减二;见五日出,须弥融尽,大海消竭;见六日出,想此诸山渐渐融尽;见七日出,大地炯然。诸鬼、罗刹飞住空中乃至欲界,火幢随后;复至色界,火亦随至;欲往无色界,手脚焦缩落火聚中,声吼可畏动于大地(入此三昧时,大地稍稍动也如车轮旋)。 “当疾持心,想三百三十六节如金刚山,形状可爱过于须弥,地、水、火、风不能倾动,唯见四蛇含摩尼珠在骨山间。尔时,应当先想佛影,见金刚际,金刚幢端有摩尼镜,过去七佛影现镜中。复当谛观毗婆尸佛眉间白毫、尸弃佛眉间白毫、提舍佛眉间白毫、拘楼孙佛眉间白毫、迦那含牟尼佛眉间白毫、迦 现代汉语译本:走。所有的山神鬼神一时都惊动起来,呈现出黑色的状态——这些都是前世破戒的果报——应当勤奋忏悔,严格清净自己的戒律(尸罗)。因为戒律清净的缘故,日月的光明会更加明显;如果心中念头邪恶、口中说出恶语、犯了突吉罗(轻罪),摩尼宝珠上就会降下黑土、日月被尘土覆盖、星辰停止运行。阿修罗王九百九十九只手和一千个头一时出现,遮蔽了太阳、月亮和星辰,使它们无法显现,这叫做退失,是由于恶心的刀、恶口的火,被破戒的盗贼所劫夺。 ‘如果想要服用这殊胜的甘露药,首先应当持戒,清净各种威仪,忏悔业障、恶业和不善之罪。然后应当专心致志地端坐在一处,数呼吸、闭住气息,像之前那样观想身体的三百三十六个骨节,使每一个骨节的角都互相相对。星辰和月亮等也像上面所说的那样观想。心变得更加明亮,看见每一个骨节之间月光如衣服、星光如丝线,缝合在一起;看见四个太阳出现,四大海水减少了三分之二;看见五个太阳出现,须弥山(Sumeru)融化殆尽,大海干涸;看见六个太阳出现,观想这些山渐渐融化殆尽;看见七个太阳出现,大地一片焦土。各种鬼、罗刹(Rakshasa)飞住在空中,乃至欲界(Kamadhatu),火的旗帜跟随在后;又到了**,火也跟随到达;想要前往无**,手脚焦烂萎缩,掉落在火堆中,吼叫的声音可怕,震动大地(进入这种三昧(Samadhi)时,大地会像车轮旋转一样稍微震动)。’ ‘应当迅速地守护住自己的心,观想三百三十六个骨节像金刚山(Vajra mountain),形状可爱胜过须弥山,地、水、火、风都不能使它倾动,只看见四条蛇含着摩尼宝珠在骨山之间。这时,应当先观想佛的影像,看见金刚的边缘,金刚幢的顶端有摩尼宝镜,过去七佛的影像显现在镜子中。再应当仔细地观看毗婆尸佛(Vipassi Buddha)眉间的白毫、尸弃佛(Sikhi Buddha)眉间的白毫、提舍佛(Vessabhu Buddha)眉间的白毫、拘楼孙佛(Kakusandha Buddha)眉间的白毫、迦那含牟尼佛(Konagamana Buddha)眉间的白毫、迦
