小參，僧問：「如何是主中賓？」師云：「闍黎問處帶纖塵。」進云：「如是則靈光千古秀，萬法落階梯。」師云：「階下立。」進云：「如何是賓中主？」師云：「山僧不免自道取。」進云：「古佛位中無覓處，深深草裏露全身。」師云：「莫來這裏呈幪袋。」進云：「如何是主中主？」師云：「坐斷舌頭無去取。」進云：「袖裏金槌光燦爛，吹毛寶劍逼人寒。」師云：「七十五棒翻成一百五十。」進云：「如何是賓中賓？」師云：「青山之外更愁人。」進云：「如是則家貧未是貧，路貧愁殺人。」師云：「荒村古廟裏去。」進云：「只如不涉賓主，是什麼人？」師便喝，師乃云：「目擊知歸已為分外，未言先契猶涉程途。須知箇中有格外機行格外用，明格外道證格外心，灑灑落落，淨裸裸絕承當，密密堂堂，赤灑灑無回互，壁立萬仞處，千差萬別，萬別千差處壁立萬仞。所以道：『垂鉤四海，只釣獰龍，格外之機，為尋知識。』於中若有箇便恁麼承當，得格外趣向，便恁麼權衡，得格外底作略時，向伊道箇什麼？即得說玄、說妙、說佛、說祖、說心、說性，已是此人棄下之增語，論棒、論喝、論權、論實、論照、論用，亦是此人不要之長物、以其中間不犯鋒鋩纖塵不立，如何透脫？還委悉麼？大道體寬無向背、當陽須是箇中人。」

> At an informal gathering, a monk asked: "What is the guest within the host?" The Master said: "Where the ācārya asks, it carries a speck of dust." The monk continued: "If so, then the numinous radiance is exquisite for a thousand ages, while all phenomena fall to the stairs." The Master said: "Stand below the stairs." The monk asked: "What is the host within the guest?" The Master said: "This mountain monk cannot avoid speaking it himself." The monk continued: "In the position of the ancient Buddhas there is nowhere to seek; deep within the lush grasses the whole body is revealed." The Master said: "Do not come here presenting a blindfold bag." The monk asked: "What is the host within the host?" The Master said: "Cutting off the tongue, there is no taking or leaving." The monk continued: "In the sleeve, the golden mallet glitters brightly; the hair-blowing precious sword chills one with cold." The Master said: "Seventy-five blows turn into a hundred and fifty." The monk asked: "What is the guest within the guest?" The Master said: "Beyond the blue mountains, one worries even more." The monk continued: "If so, poverty at home is not yet poverty; poverty on the road worries a person to death." The Master said: "Go into the deserted village and the ancient shrine." The monk asked: "What kind of person is it who does not involve host and guest?" The Master shouted. The Master then said: "To know where to return upon a glance is already an extra; to accord before speaking still involves a journey. You must know that within this there is the extra-pattern dynamic and the extra-pattern function, illuminating the extra-pattern Way and realising the extra-pattern mind. Unrestrained and free, completely exposed without taking on anything; intimate and grand, stark and vivid without mutual evasion. Where a cliff stands ten thousand cubits steep, there are a thousand differences and ten thousand distinctions; where there are ten thousand distinctions and a thousand differences, a cliff stands ten thousand cubits steep. Therefore it is said: 'Casting a hook across the four seas, one angles only for fierce dragons; dynamic sharpness outside the pattern is for seeking true teachers.' If among you there is one who thus takes it on, obtaining the extra-pattern inclination, and thus weighs and assesses, obtaining the extra-pattern action, what can be said to them? Even to speak of the profound, speak of the wondrous, speak of Buddhas, speak of Patriarchs, speak of mind, speak of nature—these are already superfluous words discarded by this person; to discuss the staff, discuss the shout, discuss provisional, discuss real, discuss illumination, discuss function—these too are redundant items not needed by this person. Because therein one does not touch point or edge, and not a speck of dust is established, how can one penetrate and break free? Do you fully understand yet? The great Way is broad in substance, without facing toward or turning away; / Standing in full daylight, one must be a person from within."
