"All beings have three illnesses, which are: 1) greed, 2) the ill-will, and 3) ignorance. Three kinds of medicine will cure these three illnesses. Meditation upon impurities will act as a medicine against desire, (meditation) on the love-kindness will act as medicine against ill-will, (meditation) on the knowledge of causal relations will act against ignorance.
Oh good man! In order to end the desire, one meditates on the non-desire; to end the ill-will, the meditation upon the non-ill-will is performed; to end the ignorance, one meditates on non-ignorance. In the three illnesses we do not have the three kinds of medicine, and in the three kinds of medicine we do not have the three kinds of illness. Oh Good man! Since there are no the three kinds of medicine in the three kinds of illness (i.e., there is no purity in the illness), this is the non-eternal, non-bliss, non-self, and non-pure. In the three kinds of medicine there are no three kinds of illness (i.e., there are no impurities in the medicines). Hence, the Eternal, Bliss, the Self, and the Pure."
