上堂，僧問：「如何是先照後用？」師云：「王言如絲。」學云：「如何是先用後照？」師云：「其出如綸。」學云：「如何是照用同時？」師云：「舉起軒轅鑑，蚩尤頓失威。」學云：「如何是照用不同時？」師云：「金將火試。」乃舉：「僧問首山：『如何是佛？』首山云：『新婦騎驢阿家牽。』大眾！莫問新婦阿家，免煩路上波吒，遇飯即飯遇茶即茶，同門出入宿世冤家。」

> Ascending the hall, a monk asked, "What is illumination preceding function?" The Master said, "The king's words are like silk." The student asked, "What is function preceding illumination?" The Master said, "When they issue forth, they are like cords." The student asked, "What are illumination and function simultaneous?" The Master said, "Holding up the mirror of Xuanyuan, Chiyou instantly loses his power." The student asked, "What are illumination and function not simultaneous?" The Master said, "Gold tested with fire." He then cited: "A monk asked Shoushan, 'What is Buddha?' Shoushan said, 'The bride rides the donkey; the mother-in-law leads it.' Assembly! Do not ask about the bride and mother-in-law, / To avoid the weariness of the road's turmoil. / When meeting food, just eat; when meeting tea, just drink; / Entering and leaving the same gate, enemies from past lives!"
