59 黄沙岭古庙重病

至十三日抵黄沙岭，顶破庙无遮蔽，已不能行。歇下，不进饮食，日泄数十次，起动无力。过往无人，瞑目待毙而已，然无悔念也。由此可见，公一生之自强不息精神，难行能行，愿力坚固。

宣化偈曰：

带病拜香是勉强，

卧薪尝胆吴越王。

瞑目待终真放下，

全无悔意坦荡荡。

Becoming stricken with illness at an ancient temple on Huang Sha Ling mountain

The Master reached Huang Sha Ling on the thirteenth On the mountaintop, he found the ruins of an ancient temple,which offered no shelter because the roof was broken. Since he could no longer walk, the Master stopped here. He had not been eating but defecated frequently. Because he was totally devoid of strength to get up and leave that deserted area, the Master closed his eyes and waited for death to come.He did not regret any of his actions, One can see quite clearly that during his whole life, his best efforts never subsided.He was able to accomplish difficult tasks，his vows were solid and firm.

The verse says:

Although he was sick, he forced himself to continue making prostrations.

He Lay down on the straw and tasted bile like the King of Yueh.

Closing his eyes,he waited for death,having truly put it all down.

With no regrets for the vows he had made,he remained in the vastness of peace.

60 病危文吉又来

十五日病危，深夜见西墙下，有人燃火，疑为匪类，细视之乃文吉又来。喜极，呼文先生。彼执火照曰，大师父你怎么还在这里。公告以经过，文吉坐公身边安慰，以杯水令饮，身心清净。

宣化偈曰：

吉人天相语不虚，

病危待毙见文吉。

慧炬照破千生障，

法水洗除万劫迷。

As his illness grows serious, Wen Chi returns

By the fifteenth,the Master was gravely ill,but then he spied a man

kindling a fire by the western wall of the ruins.He assumed it to be an outlaw, but upon closer scrutiny, he realized that Wen Chi the Beggar had come again. The Master,very happy to see him,called out, ”Mr. Wen Chi! Mr.Wen Chi!”

Wen Chi held up a burning stick and said, “Master,what are you doing back up in here?” The Master related all he had gone through Wen Chi sat at Master’s side,making him comfortable and had him drink a cup of water.The Master then felt pure in body and clear of mind.

The verse says:

The propitious man with heavenly traits did not speak empty words.

Gravely ill and waiting for death the Master saw Layman Wen.

The torch of wisdom illumines and smashes the obstructions of thousands of lives,

As the Dharma water cleanses and rids one of a myriad aeons’ confusion.
