发病 林钰堂
病发毒尽方易愈，修途同理多波折；
净化身心长远事，锲而不舍便安渡。
治病的疗程中，有时是要让病发作，使毒出尽，才易痊愈。类似此理，修行的道途上也往往会有懈怠、退转的时期。这是因为修行是净化身心的过程，而修到一个程度会使原先潜伏的宿业病根暴露出来，导致病态的发作。吾人只要不忘失菩提心，在稍事歇息后再循正法进修，便可渐渐安渡此类之曲折，继续在觉路上进步。

吾佛 金刚莲华佛慈座：
佛安！
弟子去年七月发觉目病〈白内障、青光眼〉至今，深受其苦，实难为人知，死不是不怕，但最怕的还是瞎了，我的眼科医生一再告戒我，不要以为动手术就可恢复视力，很难说的，听得我心如堕黑暗地狱，惊怖不已。曾一度整个人倒下，连工也无法做了，老天好像知我不是最怕死，我最怕就是眼睛瞎了，偏偏眼睛就出了问题，我一直相当照顾眼睛，中药如杞菊地黄或明目地黄常服，但最后还是出了问题，业力可畏。我读了慈尊的“病亦助道”、“发病”，心里好过多了，尤其是那一句“净化身心长远事，锲而不舍便安渡”让我知道以后的日子要怎么做，心里才渐渐定了下来。眼病的苦，也让我确实知道“病中易体众生苦，体会众苦每加深，行者虽病不忘修”，但愿六道所有的病苦众生，心住“心无挂碍，无挂碍故，无有恐怖，远离颠倒梦想，究竟涅槃”那摩观世音菩萨，我佛无尽慈悲。我也因此病缘，故向慈尊提请“病亦助道”、“发病”二首佛偈作为“浴塘游咏”墨宝，以资激励病苦众生向上向善，菩提不退，坚固道心。我也在此乞请金刚莲华佛无尽慈悲，帮六道病苦众生和我代祷，乞求所患疾病早日痊愈，离苦得乐，早日成佛。
在此谨祝我佛金刚莲华佛
如意吉祥
弟子 罗文英提请与乞求代祷

Showing the Symptoms by Yutang Lin
Let full symptoms develop and poison be exhausted for easier cure.
On the practice path， for similar reasons， there are ups and downs.
Purification of body and mind is a matter of long-term endeavors.
Sustaining continuous efforts without quitting will yield safe passage.
Comment:
In the course of curing a disease sometimes the treatment aims at letting the symptoms develop fully so that the poison will be exhausted and then the cure will become easier to attain. For similar reasons， on the practice path now and then there are periods of indolence or recess. This is because engaging in Dharma practices means entering a course of physical as well as spiritual purification. When one reaches certain stages in this course certain hidden karmic roots of impurity become exposed and lead to full development of symptoms of ill-being. As long as we don't forget Bodhi intentions and resume right Dharma practices after some break and rest， then we will gradually be able to overcome such windings safely and continue to make progress on the road to Enlightenment.
