僧問:「和尚違和,還有不病者也無?」師曰:「有。」云:「不病者,還看和尚否?」師曰:「老僧看他有分。」云:「未審和尚如何看他?」師曰:「老僧看時不見有病。」師復問僧:「離殼漏子,向甚麼處與吾相見?」僧無對。遂示頌曰:「學者恒沙無一悟,過在尋他舌頭路,欲得忘形泯蹤跡,努力慇懃空裏步。」

A monk asked, "The upādhyāya is indisposed; is there still one who is not ill?"
The Master said, "There is."
The monk said, "Does the one who is not ill still see the upādhyāya?"
The Master said, "This old monk has a portion in seeing him."
The monk said, "I do not know: how does the upādhyāya see him?"
The Master said, "When this old monk looks, I do not see that there is any illness."
The Master then asked the monk, "Leaving aside the leaking husk, where will you meet with me?"
The monk had no reply.
Thereupon [the Master] presented a verse:
"Students [numerous as] the sands of the Ganges, yet not one is awakened;
Their fault lies in seeking along the path of another's tongue.
If you wish to forget physical form and efface all traces,
Exert yourself diligently in stepping into emptiness."
