師入院，開堂日，宣疏了乃云：「疏帖一時讀了，若是具金剛眼睛底，何必重說偈言，雖然如是，事無一向。」便陞座，拈香罷，四面白槌云：「法筵龍象眾，當觀第一義。」師云：「金鏃慣將平祖道，鐵鞭多在恨無讐，莫有不顧危亡底衲僧麼？出來相見。」僧問：「白雲山下祖令當行，如何是祖令？」師云：「一二三四五。」學云：「恁麼則昨日太平今朝海會。」師云：「高著師。」僧問：「昔日為霖去，今朗領眾來，朝賢臨座下，願震一聲雷。」師云：「儞還聞麼？」學云：「風送好雲歸碧洞，水潮滄海助波濤。」師云：「知心有幾人？」學云：「寒山常撫掌，拾得每慇懃。」師云：「將謂無人。」學云：「也不得壓良為賤。」師云：「且禮拜著。」乃云：「問話且止。夫第一義，適來若於四面搥下薦得，千聖不能近，祖師言不到，天下作者拱手歸降。何也？況第一義本來清淨不受諸塵，如何說得？同道方知。今日放過一著，向建化門中別作箇解話會，是以紹先聖之遺蹤，稱提祖令，為後學之模範，建立宗風。若非當人，曷能傳授。」（謝詞不錄）乃云：「陳謝既畢，不可空然，有一頌舉似大眾：日暖風和花正開，七重山鎖白雲來，飜思城市繁華處，又出松門步一回。」

> When the Master entered the monastery on the day of opening the hall, after the declaration of the letter of appointment, he said, "The letters and documents have all been read at once. If one possesses the diamond eye, why must gāthās be recited again? Even though it is like this, affairs are not one-sided." He then ascended the seat. After offering incense, the four-sided mallet was struck, declaring, "Assembly of dragons and elephants at the Dharma banquet, you should contemplate the paramārtha!" The Master said, "With golden arrowheads, one is used to leveling the Patriarchs' path; with the iron whip kept long, one regrets having no enemy. Is there any patch-robed monk who disregards peril and death? Come forth and meet with me!" A monk asked, "Beneath Mount Baiyun, the ancestral order should be carried out. What is the ancestral order?" The Master said, "One, two, three, four, five." The student said, "If so, then yesterday was Taiping, and today is Haihui." The Master said, "Aim higher, monk." A monk asked, "Formerly you left to provide timely rain; now brilliantly you come leading the assembly. Court worthies have arrived before the seat; we wish for a clap of thunder to shake us." The Master said, "Do you still hear it?" The student said, "The wind sends auspicious clouds back to the jade-green grotto; the water surges in the blue sea to aid the billows." The Master said, "How many people understand the heart?" The student said, "Hanshan constantly claps his hands; Shide is ever earnest." The Master said, "I had thought there was no one." The student said, "One must not suppress the virtuous into the lowly." The Master said, "Make prostrations for now." He then said, "Let the questioning cease. As for the paramārtha, just now if you had comprehended it under the striking of the four-sided mallet, the thousand sages could not approach it, the Patriarchs' words could not reach it, and the adept masters under heaven would clasp their hands and submit. Why? Moreover, the paramārtha is fundamentally pure and receives no specks of dust—how can it be spoken of? Only companions on the path will know. Today I let a move pass, and within the gate of teaching and transformation I make another explanatory gathering. Thus we continue the bequeathed traces of the former sages, extol the ancestral order, serve as a model for later students, and establish the lineage style. If one is not the right person, how could it be transmitted?" (Words of thanks not recorded.) He then said, "Having completed the statement of thanks, it cannot be left in vain. There is a verse cited for the assembly: / The sun is warm, the wind is gentle, and flowers are in full bloom; / Sevenfold mountains enclose, and the white clouds come. / Turning my thoughts to the bustling places of the city, / I once again step out of the pine gate for a stroll."
