1.29

僧問師：「古人曰：『吾有大病，非世所醫。』未審是甚麼病？」師曰：「攢簇不得底病。」僧云：「一切眾生，還有此病也無？」師曰：「人人盡有。」僧云：「和尚還有此病也無？」師曰：「正覓起處不得。」僧云：「一切眾生。為甚麼不病？」師曰：「一切眾生若病，即非眾生。」僧云：「未審諸佛還有此病也無？」師曰：「有。」僧云：「既有。為甚麼不病？」師曰：「為伊惺惺。」

A monk asked the Master, "An ancient said, 'I have a great sickness that the world cannot cure.' What sickness is this?" The Master said, "A sickness that cannot be assembled together." The monk said, "Do all sentient beings also have this sickness?" The Master said, "Everyone has it." The monk said, "Does the Master also have this sickness?" The Master said, "I am just now unable to find where it arises." The monk said, "Why are all sentient beings not sick?" The Master said, "If all sentient beings were sick, they would not be sentient beings." The monk said, "Do the Buddhas also have this sickness?" The Master said, "They have it." The monk said, "Since they have it, why are they not sick?" The Master said, "Because they are wide awake."
