蔣山辭眾云：「終日相逢長背面，終朝背面却相逢，途中不是途中事，不動巍然達九重。這箇消息，唯許作家明暗同途，主賓互用，雖去似去而不去，雖來似來而不來，卓爾超然，動靜曾無兩種，所以道：『動若行雲，止若谷神。』既無心於彼此，亦無象於去來。如是則去來不以象，而確然去來；動靜不以心，而超然動靜。在彼在此殊無間然，一道清虛廓周沙界。是以月上女出城，舍利弗入城，而舍利弗問云：『聖姊向什麼處去？』月上女云：『如舍利弗恁麼去。』舍利弗云：『我方入城，汝已出城，云何言如舍利弗恁麼去？』女云：『諸佛弟子當住何所？』舍利弗云：『諸佛弟子當住如來大解脫。』女云：『諸佛弟子既住大解脫，所以我云如舍利弗恁麼去。』既得如來大解脫，去而無去去迹，入九重城裏毘贊聖化；住而無住住蹤，在深山白雲中，坐斷天下人舌頭。既住如來大解脫，安有動靜去來之意？正當恁麼時，作麼生道？九重城裏真消息，一句無私遍九垓。」復云：「憶得曹山和尚辭洞山，山云：『向什麼處去？』曹山云：『向不變異處去。』洞山云：『不變異處豈有去耶？』曹山云：『去亦不變異。』」師云：「大凡衲僧，佩肘臂下符，具頂門上眼，向一切萬境萬緣，當頭坐斷，豈不是箇無變異。何故？金剛正體湛寂凝然。曹山雖得此意，爭奈洞山憐兒不覺醜。若是山僧，待他道向不變異處去，只向他道：『這漢未出門，早變了也。』」

> At Jiangshan, taking leave of the assembly, the Master said: 'All day long meeting, yet ever turning the back; all morning turning the back, yet meeting after all. On the road it is not a matter of the road; unmoving and towering, one reaches the nine-tiered palace. Only an adept is granted this news, where light and dark share the same road, host and guest are mutually applied, going as if going yet not going, coming as if coming yet not coming, lofty and transcendent, movement and stillness having never been two. Therefore it is said: "Moving, like floating clouds; halting, like the spirit of the valley." When there is neither mind regarding this and that, nor forms of going and coming, thus going and coming do not depend on forms, yet definitely there is going and coming; movement and stillness do not depend on mind, yet transcendently there are movement and stillness. In that and in this, there is no separation whatsoever; a single course of pure voidness extensively encompasses worlds as numerous as sands. Therefore, when the maiden Candrottarā was leaving the city and Śāriputra was entering the city, Śāriputra asked, "Holy sister, where are you going?" Candrottarā said, "Going just as Śāriputra does." Śāriputra said, "I am just now entering the city, while you have already left the city; how can you say you go just as Śāriputra does?" The maiden said, "Where should disciples of the Buddhas abide?" Śāriputra said, "Disciples of the Buddhas should abide in the great liberation of the Tathāgata." The maiden said, "Since disciples of the Buddhas abide in the great liberation, therefore I said I go just as Śāriputra does." Having attained the great liberation of the Tathāgata, one goes without any trace of going, entering the nine-tiered palace to assist the sacred transformation; one abides without any track of abiding, sitting among deep mountains and white clouds to cut off the tongues of everyone under heaven. Since one abides in the great liberation of the Tathāgata, how could there be any thought of movement and stillness, going and coming? Right at such a time, how do you speak? True news within the nine-tiered palace; a single selfless phrase pervades the nine regions.' He further said: 'I recall Master Caoshan taking leave of Dongshan. Dongshan said: "Where are you going?" Caoshan said: "Going to the place that does not change." Dongshan said: "How can there be any going in the place that does not change?" Caoshan said: "Going is also unchanging."' The Master said: 'Generally, patch-robed monks wear the tally under their elbow and possess the eye on the crown of the head; facing all myriad realms and myriad conditions, cutting them off directly—how is this not unchanging? Why? The adamantine true substance is clear, quiet, and solid. Although Caoshan got this meaning, what can be done about Dongshan loving his child without noticing the ugliness? If it were this mountain monk, waiting for him to say "going to the place that does not change," I would only say to him: "Before this fellow has stepped out the door, he has already changed!"'
