While this text is traditionally considered to be a translation of an Indic original, its contents betray a concern to tailor Buddhist recommendations on regimen and preventative medicine for a Chinese audience." "Despite the domesticating language in the opening passages, however, the bulk of the text presents typical Buddhist recommendations on regimen and preventative medicine....On the whole, the text gives the impression of being a compilation of knowledge from other sources, repackaged and explained for a wider audience." See DDB for more details.
