8.28

Third, explaining the two illnesses, expedient and real, which has two parts: first, introducing the intention and clarifying generally, in two parts: first, clarifying the two illnesses; second, from "If according to" downward, distinguishing before and after. That which transforms is the Great Being; those who are transformed are sentient beings. From "The text states" downward, it proves that which transforms. First it proves the preceding expedient illness; from "It also states" downward, it next proves the subsequent real illness. From "Therefore Jing..." downward, it proves those who are transformed. "Because sentient beings are ill" is the preceding real [illness]; "therefore I am ill" is the subsequent expedient [illness].
