1.25

Ascending the hall, he cited: "A monk asked Dongshan, 'When the Venerable is ill, is there also one who is not ill?' Dongshan said, 'There is.' The monk said, 'Does the one who is not ill look after the Venerable?' Dongshan said, 'This old monk has a share in looking after him.' The monk said, 'When the Venerable looks after him, how is it?' Dongshan said, 'Then I do not see that there is one who is ill.'" The Master said: "Able to go and able to come, able to come and able to go. I have a share in looking after him; his looking after me is not so. Just at such a time, how do you comprehend it?" After a long pause he said: "The lingering mist is still deep—there is no visible summit; the spring wind is ever present on the unsprouted branch."
