舉：「雪峯示眾云：『望州亭與爾相見了也，烏石嶺與爾相見了也，僧堂前與爾相見了也。』保福問鵝湖：『僧堂前且致，望州亭、烏石嶺什麼處相見？』鵝湖驟步歸方丈，保福便入僧堂。」師云：「二老宿，是即是，只知雪峯放行，不見雪峯把定。忽有箇衲僧出問，未審雪竇作麼生？豈不是別機宜、識休咎底漢，還有望州亭、烏石嶺相見底衲僧麼？」良久云：「擔版禪和如麻似粟。」

He cited: "Xuefeng instructed the assembly, saying, 'At Wangzhou Pavilion I have already met with you; at Wushi Ridge I have already met with you; in front of the monks' hall I have already met with you.' Baofu asked Ehu, 'Setting aside in front of the monks' hall for a moment, where did they meet at Wangzhou Pavilion and Wushi Ridge?' Ehu took quick strides back to the Abbot's quarters; Baofu then entered the monks' hall." The Master said, "The two old masters—right though they may be, they only know that Xuefeng lets go, but do not see that Xuefeng holds fast. If a patch-robed monk were suddenly to step forward and ask, 'I wonder what Xuedou would do?' would he not be a fellow who discerns the dynamic and recognizes good and ill fortune? Are there any patch-robed monks who have met at Wangzhou Pavilion and Wushi Ridge?" After a long pause he said, "Board-carrying Chan monks are as numerous as hemp seeds and millet grains."
