### [10.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.10.69)

上嘗問誌云：「弟子煩惑未除，何以治之？」答云：「十二。」識者。以為十二因緣治惑藥也。又問十二之旨，答云：「旨在書字時節刻漏中。」識者以為書之在十二時中。又問：「弟子何時得靜心修習？」答云：「安樂禁。」識者以為禁者止也，至安樂時乃止耳。後法雲於華林寺講《法華》，至「假使黑風」。誌忽問風之有無。答云：「世諦故有，第一義則無也。」誌往復三四番，便笑云：「若體是假有，此亦不可解，難可解。」其辭旨隱沒，類皆如此。

> The Emperor once asked Zhi: 'This disciple's afflictions and delusions are not yet eliminated; how may they be cured?' He replied: 'Twelve.' Those with discernment considered this to be the twelve links of dependent origination as medicine to cure delusions. He asked again about the purport of the twelve, and Zhi replied: 'The purport lies within the written characters and the hours of the clepsydra.' Those with discernment considered this to mean writing them within the twelve double-hours. He asked again: 'When will this disciple attain a quiet mind to cultivate practice?' He replied: 'The peace and joy prohibition.' Those with discernment considered 'prohibition' to mean cessation—only when reaching the stage of peace and joy would it cease. Later, when Fayun was lecturing on the Lotus Sūtra at Hualin Temple and reached the phrase 'suppose a black wind,' Zhi suddenly asked about the existence or non-existence of wind. Fayun replied: 'According to conventional truth it exists; in the ultimate truth it does not exist.' After three or four exchanges, Zhi smiled and said: 'If its nature is nominal existence, this too cannot be explained; it is difficult to explain.' His sayings were all concealed in this manner.
