1.72

師一日上堂,僧問:「如何是曹源一滴水?」師云:「是曹源一滴水。」僧惘然而退。時韶國師於坐側,豁然開悟,韶遂以所悟聞於師。師云:「汝向後當為國王所師,致祖道光大,吾不如也。」國師後有偈云:「通玄峯頂,不是人間,心外無法,滿目青山。」師聞云:「即此一偈,可起吾宗。」

One day the Master ascended the hall. A monk asked, "What is a drop of water from the source of Cao?" The Master said, "It is a drop of water from the source of Cao." The monk withdrew in bewilderment. At that time, State Preceptor Shao was at the side of his seat and was suddenly enlightened; Shao then reported his awakening to the Master. The Master said, "Hereafter you will be the teacher of kings, causing the ancestral way to shine brightly; I am not your equal." Later, the State Preceptor had a gāthā that said:
"At the summit of the Peak of Penetrating the Mysterious, / It is not the human world.
Outside the mind there are no dharmas; / Green mountains fill the eyes."
When the Master heard it, he said, "With this single gāthā alone, my lineage will be raised up."
