虛堂和尚語錄 6.175

6.175

舉：「文殊令善財採藥云：『是藥者採將來。』善財遍採，無不是藥。却來白云：『無不是藥者。』殊云：『是藥採將來。』善財乃拈一枝草，度與文殊。殊拈起示眾云：『此藥亦能殺人亦能活人。』」

He cited: "Mañjuśrī ordered Sudhana to gather medicine, saying: 'Bring back whatever is medicine.' Sudhana gathered everywhere; there was nothing that was not medicine. He returned and reported: 'There is nothing that is not medicine.' Mañjuśrī said: 'Bring back what is medicine.' Sudhana then picked up a blade of grass and handed it to Mañjuśrī. Mañjuśrī held it up, showed it to the assembly, and said: 'This medicine can kill people, and it can also bring people to life.'"
