諸位同修，人生有生老病死苦，我們每個人都會生病的，無一例外。凡是病痛必定有原因。生病的原因和根源，從佛法的角度來說，歸納起來，不出以下幾種：第一種、生理病。我們人的生理機能出現問題，比如像四大不調等等。這種病需要通過自我調理，或者藉助醫藥、醫療的工具。所以該調理的，就好好調理一下；需要看醫生的，那就去好好看醫生；需要動手術的，那就去接受手術的治療。這個是第一類病，生理病。第二種、冤業病。這個是往昔冤家債主的纏身。都說『冤家宜解不宜結』。這個是要用慈心觀來對待，要用佛法的慈悲心來感化鬼神、來感化你的冤親債主。觀自己往昔與之結怨，那是因為愚癡無知，不明因果。現在得遇三寶，祈求化解怨仇。我跟諸位同修講，我們作為學佛之人，不可與一切眾生結怨，連一切畜生都不可以結怨。《楞嚴經》裡面特別講到：『人死為羊，羊死為人』。人吃羊肉。人死了以後變羊，羊死了以後變人。人又吃羊肉。生生世世，吃來吃去。冤冤相報，沒完沒了。如果遇到這一類的疾病，通過誦經、通過念佛、通過修積的功德迴向你的冤親債主。這個是最好的調解方式。他如果接受了，他如果解脫了，那這個問題就解決了；他要是不接受，可能是你不夠虔誠，或者過去的結怨太深太深了，那還是會有麻煩的。這個是第二種，冤業病。第三種、業障病。這種病是最為麻煩的，也是最難治療的。這種病需要通過『懺悔法門』，先從『事懺』開始，然後逐漸升級到『理懺』，無我無人無眾生，觀一切法空，觀所造的業力也是如幻如化的，不真實的，沒有一個永恆不變的自性存在。這個就像《華嚴經》所說的：『罪從心起將心懺，心若滅時罪亦亡。心亡罪滅兩俱空，是則名為真懺悔。』對於這種業障病，我跟諸位同修講，那是非常地根深蒂固。除非你有三昧加持力，除非你懺悔的時候出現瑞相，見光見華，見諸佛菩薩來跟你摩頂授記，那這個業障病才會消除。否則的話，很難懺除。作為我們學佛之人，如果遇到這樣的業障病，在懺悔未清淨的前提下，我們自己內心要安然地去全盤接受，要明確知道：當前的果報是自己往昔所造的惡業感召的。我們當下去坦然地面對，隨緣消舊業，切莫造新殃。我跟諸位同修講，這種業障病，不屬於生理，也不屬於冤業。是自己造作的惡業太多了，生生世世累積而成的。對於這種病，醫藥沒有任何的效果，誦經、禮懺、迴向也不見得有任何的效果，只有通過虔誠的求懺悔，你真心求懺悔，那這個才有救。換句話說，要以真誠之心修懺悔法，從此改過自新，改往修來，諸惡莫作，眾善奉行，才能消除這種業障病。以上我所說的三種病，我們同修一定要對癥下藥。不能生病的時候，不知道是哪一種病，結果病急亂投醫。我們更不能千篇一律，所以一定要分別對待。身病要靠身藥來醫治，心病要靠心藥來醫，業障病要靠懺悔法門才能夠消除。我們一定要找到生病的根源，只有找到根源，從根本上解決問題，這樣才能夠一勞永逸，最後才能夠達到藥到病除的目標，才能夠恢復真正的永久的健康。其實，我們修行也是如此。我發覺，這麼多年的出家，我發覺我周遭的許多居士，他們很多人修行都非常地盲目，今天修這個，明天修那個。今天念佛，明天持咒，後天又修別的法門。沒有一個固定的法門，一直修下去，這個就是問題的所在。我跟諸位同修講，話可以亂說，藥不可以亂吃。這個就像《藥師懺》裡面所說的那樣：『眾生若病，應同一病；眾生須藥，應同一藥』。我們大家知道，佛陀是無上的大醫王。佛陀所說的法門無量無邊，佛陀開的藥方很多很多。但是我們每個人的根機千差萬別，我們每個人所得的病是不一樣的。我們大家一定要找對藥方，要吃對藥。否則的話，不僅沒有任何的作用，有時候還會有副作用。我們有些同修，學佛修行有很長時間了，為甚麼一直沒有任何的成就和受益呢？那你就要好好地反省一下：看看自己到底是甚麼樣的根機，看看自己得的是哪一種病，看看自己需要吃哪一種藥。我們需要好好地反省一下。看看自己所修的法門是否對機，我們天天所吃的藥是否恰到好處。因為吃太多了藥，我跟你說，你吸收消化不了，如果吃太少了，那這個藥就對你不起任何的作用。最後，我祈求藥師如來加被大家，身心健康。南無藥師琉璃光如來！（三稱）

Fellow practitioners, life is full of the pains of birth, aging, sickness and death, and we all get sick, without exception. Every pain must have a cause. From the perspective of Buddhism, the causes of diseases can be summed up in the following categories: The first is physical diseases. There are problems with our human body, such as the imbalance of the four major elements etc. These diseases require self-conditioning, or medicine and medical tools. Therefore, recuperate properly if you need to be recuperated; go to see a doctor if you need to; have surgery if you need to. This is the first category of diseases, physical diseases. The second is vengeful diseases. This is the haunting of your foe and karmic creditors from the past. It is said that "grudges should be resolved but not formed". With the view of mercy and the compassion of Buddhism, influence ghosts and spirits and your foe and karmic creditors. You observe that in the past you had grudges against them because you were ignorant and didn't know cause and effect. Now you meet the Triple Jewels and pray to resolve the grudges. I tell you fellow practitioners that, as Buddhist practitioners, we should not hold grudges with any sentient beings, not even with any animals. "Shurangama Sutra" specifically mentions that "people die and become sheep, and sheep die and become people." People eat lamb. After people die, they become sheep. After sheep die, they become people. People eat lamb again. From life to life, they eat each other again and again, and the cycle will never end. If you have this category of diseases, you can transfer your accumulated merits of reciting sutras, chanting Buddhas' names, and cultivation to your foe and karmic creditors. This is the best way to mediate. If they accept it, and if they are freed, then the problem will be solved; if they do not accept it, it may be that you are not sincere enough, or the grudges in the past are too deep, and there will still be trouble. This is the second kind, vengeful diseases. The third category is karmic diseases. This category of diseases is the most troublesome and the most difficult to treat. This category of diseases needs to be treated through the "repentance method", starting with "physical repentance", and then gradually enter into "theoretical repentance", no self, no others, no sentient beings, observe that all dharmas are empty, karmic powers you create are like illusions and unreal, and there's no eternal and unchanging self-nature. This is like what "Avatamsaka Sutra" states: "Sins start from minds so one repents one's mind, and when the mind is extinguished, the sins will also die. When the mind is extinguished, the sins are destroyed, and both are empty, this is called true repentance." As for karmic diseases, I tell you fellow practitioners, they are very deeply rooted. Unless you have the power of samadhi, unless auspicious signs appear when you repent, you see light, flowers, or Buddhas and Bodhisattvas coming to stroke your head and prophesy, then karmic diseases will be eliminated. Otherwise, they will be difficult to repent to eliminate. As Buddhist practitioners, if we encounter such karmic diseases, on the premise that they are not fully eliminated by our repentance, in our own minds, we must calmly accept them in full, and we must clearly know that the current karmic results are due to our evil karma created in the past. We now need to face them calmly, eliminate old karma following conditions, and must not create new evil karma. I tell you fellow practitioners that karmic diseases do not belong to physicality, nor do they belong to revenge karma. It's because we have created too much evil karma, which is accumulated from life to life. For this kind of diseases, medicine does not have any effect, and reciting, ritual repentance, and devotion may not have any effect either. Only through devout repentance, if you sincerely repent, can they be solved. In other words, we must practice the method of repentance with sincerity, and from then on, we must correct ourselves, correct our mistakes done in the past, and cultivate for our future. Do no evil deeds and do all good deeds, so that these karmic diseases can be eliminated. For the three categories of diseases I mentioned above, our fellow practitioners must treat them with the right medicine. When you're sick, you can't be like you don't know what disease it is, so you just treat it indiscriminately. We also can't treat all in the same way, so we must treat them separately. Physical ailments must be healed by physical medicine, mind diseases must be healed by spiritual medicine, and karmic diseases can be eliminated only by practicing the repentance method. We must find out the root causes of diseases. Only by finding out the root causes and solving roots of the problem, can we be able to solve it once and for all, and finally achieve the goal of curing the disease with medicine and restoring true and permanent health. In fact, the same is true of our practice. I found that after so many years of being a monk, I found that many lay people around me practiced blindly, today they practice this and tomorrow they practice that. They chant Buddhas today, recite mantras tomorrow, and practice other methods the day after. Not having one method to keep practicing is the problem. I tell you fellow practitioners that you can talk nonsense, but you can't take medicine indiscriminately. This is like what is said in "Medicine Buddha Repentance": "Treat beings according to their diseases and prescribe corresponding medicine." We all know that the Buddha is the supreme medical king. The methods taught by the Buddha are countless and boundless, and the medicines prescribed by the Buddha are so many. But each of us has a different root, and each of us suffers from different diseases. We must find the right prescriptions and take the right medicine. Otherwise, not only does it have no effect, but sometimes there are side effects. Some of our fellow practitioners have been studying Buddhism for a long time, but why haven't you achieved anything or benefited? Then you have to reflect on it carefully: check to see what your root is, what diseases you are suffering from, and what kind of medicine you should take. We need to reflect carefully. Check to see if the method you are practicing is right for you and whether the medicine you take every day is just right. Because if you take too much medicine, I tell you, you can't absorb and digest it. If you take too little, then this medicine will not have any effect on you. Finally, I pray that Medicine Tathagata will bless everyone to be both physically and spiritually healthy. Take refuge in Medicine Lapis Light Tathagata!
