1. GilÄna Sutta.- There are three types of sick men — those who will not, in any case, recover; those who recover whether looked after or not; those who recover only if properly looked after. Even so, there are three kinds of men — those who will never, whether they hear the Dhamma or not, enter into an assurance of perfection, etc. A.i.120f.
2. GilÄna Sutta.- The Buddha visits a sick novice of no reputation and talks to him. The novice, pondering on the Buddha’s words, recovers. S.iv.46; cf. S.iii.119.
3. GilÄna Sutta.- The same as the above, except that the topic is final emancipation without grasping (anupÄdÄ parinibbÄna). S.iv.47.
4. GilÄna Sutta.- The Buddha visits MahÄ Kassapa lying ill in the PippalÄ«guhÄ, and talks to him of the seven factors of enlightenment (bojjhaá¹…ga). Delighted with the talk, Kassapa recovers. S.v.79.
5. GilÄna Sutta.- Describes a similar visit to MahÄ MoggallÄna at GijjhakÅ«ta. S.iv.80.
6. GilÄna Sutta.- The Buddha lies ill in the KalandakanivÄpa in Veḷuvana; MahÄ Cunda visits him, and they talk of the seven bojjhangas. The Buddha immediately recovers. S.v.81.
7. GilÄna Sutta.- Once, shortly before his death, the Buddha spent the rainy season in Beluva, where he became seriously ill. By great effort of will he overcame the sickness. Ä€nanda expresses his admiration for the Buddha’s strength of mind, but adds his conviction that the Buddha would not die without having made some pronouncement concerning the Order. Then follows the Buddha’s famous injunction to his followers that they should take no other guide or refuge but the Dhamma and their own selves. S.v.152f.; the sutta is found almost verbatim in D.ii.98f.
8. GilÄna Sutta.- The Buddha visits the sick ward in the KÅ«tÄgÄrasÄla in VesÄli and talks to a sick monk, telling him that by practising five things during illness one can be sure of the speedy destruction of the corruptions (Äsava), these things being recollection of repulsiveness (asubhÄnupassanÄ), perception of revulsion in food (ÄhÄrepatikÅ«lasaññÄ), perception of disenchantement in the world (sabba-loke anabhiratasaññÄ), reflection on the impermanence of all condtioned things (sabbasaá¹…khÄresu aniccÄnupassanÄ) and perception of death (maraṇa-saññÄ). A.iii.142; cf. Giri Sutta.
