舉：「先報慈問僧：『近離甚處？』云：『臥龍。』慈云：『在彼多少時？』云：『經冬過夏。』慈云：『龍門無宿客，為什麼在彼許多時？』云：『師子窟中無異獸。』慈云：『爾試作師子吼看。』云：『若作師子吼，即無和尚。』慈云：『念汝新到，且放三十棒。』」師云：「奇怪，諸禪德，若平展則兩不相傷，據令則彼此俱嶮，還點檢得麼？」

> He cited: "The former Baoci asked a monk, 'Where have you recently come from?' The monk said, 'Wolong.' Ci said, 'How long were you there?' The monk said, 'I passed the winter and spent the summer.' Ci said, 'At the Dragon Gate there are no overnight guests; why were you there for so long?' The monk said, 'In the lion's den there are no other beasts.' Ci said, 'Try to make a lion's roar and let me see.' The monk said, 'If I make a lion's roar, then there is no Upādhyāya.' Ci said, 'Thinking of you as a newcomer, I will let you off with thirty blows of the stick.'" The Master said, "Remarkable! Zen worthies, if unfolded evenly, neither harms the other; if judged strictly by authority, both are in peril. Can you still scrutinize it?"
