There was an army physician who followed the troops as they went into battle. He tended to wounded soldiers in the battlefield.
Whenever his patients had recovered from their injuries, they were once again sent to continue fighting. As a result, they were wounded once again or killed...
After seeing this scenario again and again, he eventually suffered a mental breakdown.
he thinks: If a person is fated to die, why should I save him? if my medical knowledge has any meaning, why must he go into battle and lose his life?
He did not understand whether there was any meaning in his being an army physician, and he was so troubled that he could not continue healing others. As a result, he went up a mountain to find a Zen master.
After being with a Zen master for a few months .... Finally, he understood his problem completely. He descended the mountain to continue practising as a physician.
he said: "It is because I am a physician."
commentary：
Not to identify oneself with something, or to associate things with the "me", and to see that the idea that there is a "me" which is distinct from things is a delusion - that is true wisdom.
有位军医随军出征打仗，在战场上救治伤员。
每当他的病人伤愈后，即又投入战场继续作战，于是再次的伤亡。。。
这种情况反复多次后，他终于崩溃了。。。
他在想：如果他的命中注定要死，又何必我来将他救活？如果我的医疗是有意义的，那么他为何又去战死了呢？
他不明白当军医有何意义，心里乱的无法继续行医。。。
于是他入山寻找一位禅师。
跟随禅师几个月后，他终于想通了问题，又再次下山行医，他说：“因为我就是医生啊！”
评注：
不把自我放到所接触的事物中去，也不把事物和自我对立，故无所谓主观，也无所谓客观，无我无相而法相宛然，才是智慧的领域。
