昔予览《千金方》，三建散云，于病无所不治，而孙思邈特为着论。以谓此方用药，节
度不近人情，至于救急，其验特异，乃知神物用灵。不拘常制，至理开惑，智不能知。今予
得圣散子，殆此类也。自古论伤寒为急，表里虚实，日数证候。应汗应下之类，差之毫厘。
辄至不救，而用圣散子者。一切不问阴阳二感，或男子女人相易，状至危笃，速饮数剂。而
汗出气通，饮食渐进，神宇完复，更不用诸药。连服取瘥，其余轻者。心额微汗，正尔无恙。
药性小热，而阳毒发狂之类。入口便觉清凉，此药殆不以常理而诘也。若时疾流行，不问老
少良贱，平旦辄煮一釜，各饮一盏，则时气不入。平居无事，空腹一服，则饮食快美，百疾
不生，真济世卫家之宝也。其方不知所从出，而故人巢君谷，世宝之，以治此疾，百不失一，
既得之。谪居黄州，连岁大疫，所全活者不可胜数。巢甚秘之，此方指松江水为誓盟，不得
传人。予窃隘之，以传蕲水庞君安时。庞以医闻于世，又善着书，故以授之，且使巢君名与
此方同不朽也。
圣散子主疾，功效非一。去年春，杭州民病，得此药，全活不可胜数。所用皆中下品药。
略计每千钱即得千服，所济已及千人。由此积之，其利甚薄。凡人欲施惠，而力能自办者。
犹有所止，若合众力，则人有善利，其行可久。今募信士，就楞严院修制。自立春后起，施
至来年春夏之交。有入名者，径以施送本院。昔薄拘罗尊者，以诃黎勒施一病比邱，故获报
身。常无众疾，施无多寡。随力助缘，疾病必相扶持。功德岂有限量，仁者恻隐，当崇善因
（吴郡陆广秀才施此方并药，得之于智藏主禅月大师宝择乃乡僧也，其陆广见在京施方
并蕊，在麦 巷住出此方）
过去我阅读《千金方》，其中记载三建散说，对于各种疾病没有不能治疗的，而孙思邈特别为此撰写了论述。他认为这个方子的用药剂量和法度不合常理，但在急救时，其疗效特别显著，这才知道神妙的药物运用灵活。不拘泥于常规制度，深奥的道理能解开疑惑，智慧也无法完全知晓其中的奥秘。如今我得到了圣散子，大概属于这一类吧。自古以来讨论伤寒作为急症，表里虚实、病程天数与证候表现，该发汗还是该攻下之类的方法，如果差错毫厘，就会导致无法挽救的后果。而使用圣散子的人，一概不问是阴感还是阳感，也不管男女之间是否互相传染，病情即使危重笃实，迅速服用几剂后，就能汗出气通，饮食逐渐恢复，精神面貌完全复原，不再需要使用其他药物。连续服用直至痊愈，其余较轻的病症，只需心额微微出汗，便安然无恙。药性略微偏热，但对于阳毒发狂之类的病症，入口便觉得清凉，这药大概是不以常理来苛求的吧。如果时行疫病流行，不分老少贵贱，清晨煮好一锅药，每人各饮一盏，那么时行之气就不会侵入体内。平日无事时，空腹服用一次，就会饮食愉快美味，百病不生，真是济世卫家的宝物啊。这个方子不知出自何处，而我的朋友巢谷先生，世代珍视它，用它治疗这种疾病，百次治疗不失一次。得到这个方子后，我贬谪居住在黄州，连年发生大瘟疫，所保全救活的人数不胜数。巢谷非常保密此方，指着松江水发誓盟约，不得传给别人。我私下认为这样太狭隘了，于是将此方传授给蕲水的庞安时。庞安时在世上以医术闻名，又擅长著书立说，所以把方子授给他，并且希望让巢谷先生的名字与此方一同不朽。
圣散子主治的疾病，功效不止一种。去年春天，杭州百姓患病，得到此药，保全救活的人数不胜数。所用的都是中下等级的药材。粗略计算，每千钱就能买到一千服，所救济的已经达到千人。由此积累起来，它的利润很微薄。大凡想要施予恩惠，而力量能够自己承担的人，帮助的范围还是有止境的，如果集合众人的力量，那么每个人都能获得善利，这种行为就可以长久持续。现在招募信奉佛法的人士，在楞严院进行修制。从立春之后开始，施药至来年春夏之交。有报名的人，直接送药到本院。过去薄拘罗尊者，因为用诃黎勒布施给一位生病的比丘，所以获得了福报之身，常常没有多种疾病。布施无论多少，随力协助因缘，疾病必定相互扶持。功德难道有限量吗？仁者怀有恻隐之心，应当崇尚善因。（吴郡陆广秀才布施此方及药物，是从智藏主禅月大师宝择那里得到的，他是当地的僧人，陆广见在京师布施方剂和药材，住在麦巷，由此传出此方）
In the past, I read *Qianjin Fang* (Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold), which recorded that Sanjian San (Three Jian Powder) could treat all diseases without exception, and Sun Simiao specifically wrote an essay on it. He believed that although the dosage and administration of this formula were unconventional, its efficacy in emergency situations was particularly remarkable, revealing that divine medicines are used with flexibility. It does not adhere to conventional rules; profound principles can dispel confusion, yet wisdom cannot fully comprehend them. Now that I have obtained Shengsanzi (Holy Dispersion Powder), it seems to belong to this category. Since ancient times, Shanghan (Cold Damage) has been discussed as an acute condition. Regarding exterior and interior, deficiency and excess, the number of days in the course of the disease, and the symptoms, if the decision to induce sweating or purge is mistaken by even a hair's breadth, it may lead to untreatable consequences. However, those who use Shengsanzi do not distinguish between Yin or Yang infection, nor whether the disease is transmitted between men and women. Even when the condition is critical and severe, after quickly taking several doses, sweat appears, Qi flows smoothly, diet gradually recovers, and spiritual vitality is fully restored, without needing other medicines. Continuous administration until recovery; for milder cases, only slight sweating on the heart and forehead is needed, and one remains safe and sound. The medicinal nature is slightly warm, yet for conditions like Yang Du (Yang Toxin) causing madness, one feels cool upon ingestion. This medicine probably cannot be judged by ordinary logic. If an epidemic is spreading, regardless of age or social status, boiling a pot in the early morning and having each person drink a cup prevents the epidemic Qi from entering the body. In daily life, taking one dose on an empty stomach makes food taste delightful and prevents myriad diseases. It is truly a treasure for saving the world and protecting families. The origin of this formula is unknown. My friend Mr. Chao Gu treasured it through generations, using it to treat this illness with a success rate of nearly 100%. After obtaining it, I was demoted to Huangzhou, where major epidemics occurred for consecutive years, saving countless lives. Mr. Chao kept this formula very secret, swearing an oath by the Songjiang River not to pass it on. I privately thought this was too narrow-minded, so I passed the formula to Pang Anshi of Qishui. Pang was famous for his medical skills and good at writing books, so I gave it to him, hoping that Mr. Chao's name would become immortal along with this formula.
Shengsanzi treats various diseases with multiple efficacies. Last spring, when people in Hangzhou fell ill, this medicine saved countless lives. It uses only mid-to-low grade herbs. Roughly calculated, for every thousand cash, one could obtain a thousand doses, benefiting at least a thousand people. Accumulating this, the profit margin is very thin. Generally, those who wish to give charity but rely solely on their own resources have limited capacity. If collective efforts are combined, everyone benefits, and the practice can last long. Now, we recruit devout believers to prepare the medicine at Lengan Temple. Distribution starts after the Beginning of Spring and continues until the transition between spring and summer next year. Those who register can send donations directly to the temple. In the past, Venerable Bhadrika donated Harile (Terminalia chebula) to a sick bhikkhu, thereby gaining a blessed body free from many illnesses. Donations, large or small, support each other in times of illness. How can merit be limited? Benevolent people should cherish compassion and cultivate good causes. (Lu Guang, a scholar from Wu Commandery, donated this formula and herbs, obtained from Chan Master Baoze, the Abbot Zhicang, who was a local monk. Lu Guang also donated formulas and herbs in the capital, residing in Mai Alley, from where this formula spread.)
