Case 17 Qianfeng’s “Three Types of Sickness”
Yuezhou Qianfeng went to the hall and said, “The dharmakāya has three types of sickness and two types of light. Only after passing through these can one sit in peace.”
Yunmen Wenyan stepped forward from the assembly and asked, “Why is the fellow in the hut unaware of what’s going on outside?”
Qianfeng gave a hearty laugh.
Yunmen said, “Your student is still dissatisfied.”
Qianfeng asked, “What’s on your mind?”
Yunmen said, “I’d like you to be completely clear on this.”
“Yes, only when one is careful and thorough can one truly sit in peace,” Qianfeng replied.
“Exactly!” Yunmen agreed.
