上堂云，僧云：「直待金星現，燒然始到頭，學人金星在手時如何？」師云：「點。」進云：「恁麼則不到頭也。」師云：「亂走衲僧。」進云：「爭奈金星河。」師云：「蹉過了也。」僧問：「祖師也恁麼道，天下老和尚也恁麼道，未審崇寧作麼生道？」師云：「山僧不恁麼道。」進云：「撞著磕著去也。」師云：「撞著箇什麼？」進云：「禪客相逢只彈指。」師云：「兩頭三面。」進云：「殺活臨時。」師云：「脚頭脚底。」師云：「入荒田不揀，三千里外黑漫漫，牛頭沒、馬頭回，百億萬劫沒交涉，拈一放一節外生枝，舉古舉今無風起浪，山僧今日一時坐斷，且道：還有為人處也無？千峯勢到嶽邊止，萬派聲歸海上消。」下座。

> Ascending the hall, a monk said: "'Only when the golden sparks appear does the burning reach its end.' How is it when the student holds the golden sparks in hand?"  
> The Master said, "Touch."  
> The monk continued, "If so, then it does not reach the end."  
> The Master said, "A patch-robed monk running wildly."  
> The monk continued, "What can be done about the River of Golden Sparks?"  
> The Master said, "Passed right by it."  
> A monk asked, "The Patriarch spoke like this, and the old venerables throughout the world also spoke like this; I wonder, how does Chongning speak?"  
> The Master said, "The mountain monk does not speak like this."  
> The monk continued, "Crashing into and colliding with it."  
> The Master said, "What did you crash into?"  
> The monk continued, "When Chan guests meet, they only snap their fingers."  
> The Master said, "Two heads and three faces."  
> The monk continued, "Killing or giving life according to the occasion."  
> The Master said, "The crown of the foot, the sole of the foot."  
> The Master said, "Entering uncultivated fields without discrimination; three thousand li away, pitch-black; ox heads sink, horse heads turn back; for a hundred billion kalpas, no connection. Picking up one and letting go of one is sprouting branches outside the joints; bringing up the ancient and bringing up the present is raising waves where there is no wind. Today the mountain monk cuts them all off at once. Tell me: is there still a place to help people or not? The impetus of a thousand peaks halts at the sacred peak; the sound of myriad streams subsides upon the sea." He stepped down from the seat.
