问「天寿不贰」。
先生曰：「学问功夫，于一切声利、嗜好俱能脱落殆尽，尚有一种生死念头毫发挂带，便于全体有未融释处。人于生死念头，本从生身命根上带来，故不易去。若于此处见得破，透得过，此心全体方是流行无碍，方是尽性至命之学。」
问「夭寿不贰」。
先生说：「学问功夫，对一切声色货利、嗜好都能脱落殆尽，若还有一种生死念头毫发挂带，便对全体有未融释处。人的生死念头，本是从生身命根上带来的，所以不易去掉。若在这里见得破、透得过，此心全体才是流行无碍，才是尽性至命之学。」
Asked about undivided by early death or long life.
The Master said: 'When the work has shed well-nigh all sound and gain, all craving, yet one thread of the thought of life-and-death still hangs, the whole is not yet fused through. That thought is brought in with the very root of one's embodied life, hence hard to remove. See through it here, pass through, and the mind's whole substance flows unblocked — the learning of fulfilling nature and arriving at the Mandate.'
