He cited: "Senior Monk Fu of Taiyuan called upon Xuefeng. Arriving at the Dharma Hall, he looked around; Xuefeng then looked down toward the administrative monks. The Master [Mingjue] said, 'An adept ancestral teacher of fifteen hundred people, with just one glance from Old Fu, immediately raised high the flag of surrender.' Fu entered the Abbot's quarters the next day and said, 'Yesterday I offended the Upādhyāya.' Xuefeng said, 'Knowing it is such an affair, then let it rest.' The Master said, 'Indeed.' A monk asked Yunmen, 'What was the place of offense?' Yunmen immediately struck him." The Master said, "Even if one struck hundreds of thousands, what use would it be? Only when everyone in the whole earth takes the stick can Xuefeng be truly sustained. Tell me, what kind of eye did Fu of Taiyuan possess?"
