- Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Lung Shu said to the physician Wen Chih:
- 'Your craft is subtle. I have an illness, can you cure it?'
- 'You have only to command. Tell me the symptoms of your illness.'
- 'I do not think it an honour if the whole district praises me nor a disgrace if the whole state reviles me; I have no joy when I win, no anxiety when I lose; I look in the same way at life and death, riches and poverty, other men and pigs, myself and other men; I dwell in my own house as though lodging in an inn, and look at my own neighbourhood as though it were a foreign and barbarous country.
- Having all these ailments, titles and rewards cannot induce me, punishments and fines cannot awe me, prosperity and decline, benefit and harm cannot change me, joy and sorrow cannot influence me. Consequently it is impossible for me to serve my prince, have dealings with my kindred and friends, manage my wife and children, control my servants. What illness is this? What art can cure it?'
- Wen Chih ordered Lung Shu to stand with his back to the light. He himself stepped back and examined Lung Shu from a distance facing the light. Then he said: 'Hmmm. I see your heart. The place an inch square is empty -- you are almost a sage. Six of the holes in your heart run into each other but one is stopped up. Can this be the reason why you now think the wisdom of a sage is an illness? My shallow craft can do nothing to cure it.'
