Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2010)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 38:45
Verse 34 is saying, “Although humans may suffer from various illnesses, I shall at this time teach you a family recipe that will ensure that you recover from any illness, however serious it may be.” The phrase “family recipe” is a translation of the Japanese word “kaden,” which can be written with two Chinese characters meaning “family” and “tradition” and which refers to something that has been handed down in the family through generations. Here, however, there is a strong sense of looking forward rather than backward; instead of just saying that the recipe has been handed down through generations, the Scripture seems to emphasize that it should be passed on to future generations.
