舉：「泰首座到洞山，值喫果子，洞山云：『有一物，上拄天，下拄地，常在動用中，動用中收不得，未審過在什麼處？』泰云：『過在動用。』洞山云：『侍者掇退果卓。』」師拈云：「天下衲僧盡道：『泰首座箭鋒不相拄，所以遭洞山貶剝。』後來溈山真如道：『此果子，莫道泰首座不得喫，三世諸佛也不敢正眼覷著。』」師云：「宗師家，正令當行十方坐斷，有定乾坤句辨龍蛇眼，不妨難趁。當時若是英靈衲子，解捋虎鬚，待他道：『過在什麼處？』便拈起果子云：『和尚畢竟喚作什麼？』待他擬議，劈面便擲。何故？有意氣時添意氣，不風流處也風流。」

> \[The Master\] cited: "When Head Monk Tai arrived at Dongshan, it happened to be time to eat fruit. Dongshan said, 'There is a thing that props up heaven above and props up earth below; it is always in active functioning, yet within active functioning it cannot be contained. I wonder: where is its fault?' Tai said, 'The fault is in active functioning.' Dongshan said, 'Attendant, carry away the fruit table.'"  
> The Master critiqued it, saying, "Patch-robed monks everywhere say, 'Head Monk Tai's arrow points did not meet, which is why he suffered Dongshan's demotion.' Later, Zhenru of Guishan said, 'As for this fruit, not to mention Head Monk Tai not being allowed to eat it, even the buddhas of the three periods would not dare gaze directly at it.'"  
> The Master said, "When masters of the lineage implement the upright command, cutting off the ten directions, they have the phrase that settles heaven and earth and the eye that distinguishes dragons from snakes—it is truly hard to pursue. At that time, if he were a spirited patch-robed monk who knew how to stroke the tiger's whiskers, waiting until Dongshan said, 'Where is its fault?' he would have picked up a fruit and said, 'After all, Venerable, what do you call it?' Waiting for him to hesitate, he would have thrown it right in his face. Why? When there is high spirit, add high spirit; where there is no charm, there is also charm."
