文吉為滌穢服

十六日文吉將公數日所污穢之衣服。換洗乾淨。給藥水一杯。服後十七日病退。食黃米粥二碗。遂大汗輕鬆。十八日病瘥以。公揖謝曰兩度危疴。都蒙救濟。感恩不盡。文曰。小事一段。

 

宣化偈曰:
擔糞除穢滌凡塵。大智若愚秘度人。
藥水服後進黃米。週身大汗甘露淋。

Wen Chi washing the Master's dirty clothes

On the sixteenth, Wen Chi washed the Master's clothes which had become soiled through those many days of illness. After changing the Master's clothing, he gave him a cup of medicine to drink. By the seventeenth the Master's health started improving and he ate two bowls of yellow rice gruel. He felt light and rested after sweating profusely. He was completely recovered by the eighteenth, and wishing to thank Wen Chi, said, "You have twice saved me from serious illness. My gratitude to you is endless. Wen Chi replied, "This is a small matter."

The verse says:
Getting rid of the odorous filth, he wiped up the mundane dust.
Those of great wisdom appear as if foolish and quietly rescue people.
After taking the medicine the Master could eat a little yellow rice gruel.
His entire body profusely-he was soaked with a fine sweet dew.
