大慧普覺禪師語錄 19.35

19.35

古德云：「佛是眾生藥，有眾生病即用；無眾生病用藥，即藥返為病，甚於有病者。」前所云：「雜毒不可收拾在藏識中。」亦此之謂也。

An ancient worthy said: 'The Buddha is the medicine for sentient beings: when there is the disease of sentient beings, it is used; if the medicine is used when there is no disease of sentient beings, then the medicine in turn becomes a disease worse than having the disease.' What was said earlier—'Miscellaneous poisons must not be gathered up in the storehouse consciousness'—also refers to this.
