問：「芭蕉無心聞雷發，象牙生花事若何。」師云：「碧落無遮障，通身不味機。」「恁麼則涅槃真性因師擊，萬丈龍門不假功。」師云：「燒尾事作麼生？」「大眾證明。」師云：「雷聲甚大，雨點金無。」問：「釋迦降世，七步蓮開。師今出世，未審花開幾葉？」師云：「雲布長天上，雨灑鳳樓前。」「恁麼則群生有潤。」師云：「拂子且將揮世界，拄杖權為答話人。」問：「祖意教意是同是別？」師云：「赤脚人趁兔，著靴人喫肉。」「乞師指示。」師云：「著靴人飽，赤脚人飢。」

He asked, "The plantain has no mind, yet hearing thunder it sprouts; what about an elephant's tusk producing flowers?" The Master said, "The azure sky has no obstructions; the whole body is not blind to the dynamic." "In that case, the true nature of nirvāṇa is struck by the Master; the Dragon Gate of ten thousand fathoms requires no effort." The Master said, "What about burning the tail?" "The great assembly bears witness." The Master said, "The sound of thunder is very loud, but of raindrops there is not a bit." He asked, "When Śākyamuni descended into the world, lotuses blossomed at his seven steps. Now that the Master has appeared in the world, how many petals have blossomed?" The Master said, "Clouds spread across the vast sky; rain sprinkles before the phoenix tower." "In that case, all living beings are moistened." The Master said, "For now, I take the whisk and wave it over the world; the staff temporarily serves as the respondent." He asked, "Are the Patriarch's intention and the doctrinal intention identical or different?" The Master said, "The barefoot man chases the rabbit; the boot-wearing man eats the meat." "I beg the Master for instruction." The Master said, "The boot-wearing man is full; the barefoot man is hungry."
