師一日同普化赴施主家齋次。師問：「毛吞巨海、芥納須彌，為是神通妙用？本體如然？」普化踏倒飯床。師云：「太麁生。」普化云：「這裏是什麼所在，說麁、說細？」師來日又同普化赴齋。問：「今日供養何似昨日？」普化依前踏倒飯床。師云：「得即得，太麁生。」普化云：「瞎漢！佛法說什麼麁細？」師乃吐舌。

> One day, the Master accompanied Puhua to a vegetarian feast at a patron's house. The Master asked, "'A hair swallows the vast ocean; a mustard seed contains Mount Sumeru'—is this the wondrous functioning of spiritual powers, or is the original substance like this?" Puhua kicked over the dining table. The Master said, "Too coarse!" Puhua said, "What place is this to speak of coarse or fine?" The next day, the Master again accompanied Puhua to a feast. He asked, "How does today's offering compare to yesterday's?" Puhua, as before, kicked over the dining table. The Master said, "Granted that you have it, it is still too coarse!" Puhua said, "Blind fellow! What does the Buddha-Dharma have to do with coarse and fine?" The Master then stuck out his tongue.
