### [3.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.3.75)

舉大慈示眾云。山僧不會答話。祇是識病時有僧出。慈便歸方丈。雪竇云。雪竇識病不答話。或有僧出。劈脊便打。師云。大慈雪竇。二俱作家。要且祇顧目前不防脚下。或有箇不識好惡。不問東西底漢。出來便掀倒禪床。直饒爾全機大用。也祇恐著手脚不辨。正當恁麼時。還有識病底眼麼。

> \[The Master\] cited: Daci instructed the assembly, saying, "This mountain monk does not know how to answer questions; I merely recognize diseases." At that time a monk came forward; Daci immediately returned to the abbot's quarters. Xuedou said, "Xuedou recognizes diseases and does not answer questions. If a monk should come forward, I would strike him straight across the back." The Master said, "Daci and Xuedou were both adept craftsmen; yet they only looked at what was before their eyes and took no precautions beneath their feet. If a fellow who knows neither good nor bad and asks neither of east nor west should come forth and overturn the meditation seat, even if you possessed the total dynamic and great functioning, I fear you would still have no way to set hand or foot to it. Right at such a time, would you still have eyes that recognize diseases?"
