"This text entitled- the Wretched has been written because, let alone the ordinary beings who are under the control of the present degenerate time, I have seen some who have the pride of being the leader of many transmigrating beings and who, upon reaching the bedside of a sentient being near death, know no other way to help than to put blessed pills in the mouth of that being. Furthermore, I thought that it would benefit some beings if I set down these methods that can be easily practiced by both lower and supreme beings."
