上堂，舉：「世尊滅後，諸聖弟子於畢鉢巖中結集法藏，阿難既陞座，形儀與佛無殊，大眾遂生三疑：一疑阿難成佛，二疑佛再現身，三疑他方佛化。阿難唱云：『如是我聞。』眾疑皆息。當時若有箇漢出眾云：『大眾！依而行之，各自散去。』免見滿藏琅函攪人腸肚。然雖如是，猶未剿絕在。何也？阿難道如是我聞，白雲也道如是我聞，若道當時是，重古輕今；若道即今是，重今輕古。要會麼？優曇花不開，跡絕無香氣。」

> Ascending the hall, he cited: "After the World-Honoured One passed into extinction, the holy disciples compiled the Dharma treasury in the Pippala Cave. When Ānanda ascended the seat, his appearance and demeanor were no different from the Buddha's. The assembly then gave rise to three doubts: first, suspecting Ānanda had attained Buddhahood; second, suspecting the Buddha had reappeared in the body; third, suspecting a Buddha from another realm had transformed himself. Ānanda chanted, 'Thus have I heard.' The doubts of the assembly all ceased. If at that time there had been a fellow coming out of the assembly saying, 'Assembly! Act according to it and disperse,' it would have saved us from seeing the full treasury of jade scrolls churning people's bowels. Although it is like this, it still has not cut it off completely. Why is that? Ānanda said, 'Thus have I heard'; Baiyun also says, 'Thus have I heard.' If you say that that time was right, you value the ancient and slight the present; if you say right now is right, you value the present and slight the ancient. Do you want to understand? The udumbara flower does not bloom; traces are cut off, without fragrance."
