上堂，僧問：「昭昭於心目之間，而相不可覩；晃晃在色塵之內，而理不可分。既於心目之間，為甚麼不覩其相？」師云：「華須連夜發，莫待曉風吹。」進云：「恁麼則雲散家家月。」師云：「毘婆尸佛早留心。」僧方禮拜，師以拄杖打一下云：「不得放過。」問：「猿抱子歸青嶂後，鳥㘅華落碧巖前。古人意旨如何？」師云：「夾山猶在。」學云：「和尚如何？」師云：「依稀似曲纔堪聽，又被風吹別調中。」僧却問：「如何是翠峯境？」師云：「春至桃華亦滿溪。」僧禮拜，師云：「山僧今日敗闕，有人點撿得出，許他頂門上一隻眼。」便下座。

> Ascending the hall, a monk asked: "Clearly between mind and eyes, yet its form cannot be seen; brightly within the dust of form, yet its principle cannot be divided. Since it is between mind and eyes, why can its form not be seen?" The master said: "Flowers must bloom through the night; do not wait for the morning breeze to blow." The monk continued: "In that case, the clouds disperse, and there is the moon at every house." The master said: "Vipaśyin Buddha paid attention to it long ago." As the monk was bowing, the master struck him once with his staff and said: "You cannot be let off." A monk asked: "'The ape embraces its young, returning behind the blue peaks; the bird holds a flower in its beak, dropping it before the green cliff.' What was the ancient's intended meaning?" The master said: "Jiashan is still present." The student said: "How about the upādhyāya?" The master said: "Vaguely resembling a tune, it has just become listenable, / When again it is blown by the wind into a different melody." The monk then asked: "What is the environment of Cuifeng?" The master said: "When spring arrives, peach blossoms also fill the stream." The monk bowed, and the master said: "This mountain monk made a blunder today; if someone can point it out and examine it, I grant that he has an eye atop his crown." He then stepped down from the seat.
