上堂，拈起拄杖云：「昨夜三更，夢見拄杖子教我一片禪，向我道：『和尚！明日早起上堂，舉似大眾：昨日錦上鋪花，今日脚蹋實地，但看今日明朝，說甚祖師來意。翻思黃面老人，謾道靈山授記，直饒大地山河，借我鼻孔出氣，不如放下身心，自然仁義禮智。』」

> Ascending the hall, he held up his staff and said, "Last night at the third watch, I dreamed that the staff taught me a piece of Chan, saying to me, 'Upādhyāya! Tomorrow morning when you rise and ascend the hall, cite it for the assembly: Yesterday was laying brocade over flowers; today feet tread on solid ground. Just look at today and tomorrow—what talk of the Patriarch's intention in coming! Reflecting on the yellow-faced old man, in vain he spoke of conferring predictions on Vulture Peak. Even though the mountains and rivers of the great earth borrow my nostrils to breathe, it is better to cast off body and mind; then benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom are natural.'"
