溈山與仰山摘茶次,溈云:「終日只聞子聲,不見子形。」仰山撼茶樹。溈云:「子只得其用,不得其體。」云:「某甲只恁麼,和尚作麼生?」源山良久,仰云:「和尚只得其體,不得其用。」溈云:「放子三十棒。」

While Guishan and Yangshan were picking tea, Guishan said, "All day long I have only heard your voice and not seen your form." Yangshan shook the tea tree. Guishan said, "You have only attained its function; you have not attained its substance." Yangshan said, "I am just thus; what about the Venerable Sir?" Guishan remained silent for a good while. Yangshan said, "The Venerable Sir has only attained its substance; he has not attained its function." Guishan said, "I let you off thirty blows with the staff."
