舉:「趙州問僧:『甚處來?』云:『雪峯來。』州云:『雪峯近日有何言句示徒?』僧云:『雪峯道:「盡大地是沙門一隻眼,爾諸人向什麼處屙?」』州云:『爾若過嶺,我附箇鍬子去。』」師云:「者僧既不從雪峯來,可惜趙州鍬子。」

He brought up: "Zhaozhou asked a monk: 'Where do you come from?' The monk said: 'I come from Xuefeng.' Zhaozhou said: 'What words has Xuefeng recently given to instruct his disciples?' The monk said: 'Xuefeng said: "The entire great earth is a single eye of a śramaṇa; where do you all go to defecate?"' Zhaozhou said: 'If you go across the ridge, I will send along a shovel.'" The Master said: "Since this monk did not come from Xuefeng, it's a pity about Zhaozhou's shovel."
