舉:「雪峯示眾云:『盡大地撮來如粟米粒大,拋向面前漆桶不會,打鼓普請看。』」師拈云:「絕天維、立地紀,未足稱奇;擘太華、逗河源,亦非敏手。若向箇裏覷得透,便可以撒驪龍窟明珠,噴栴檀林香氣,豈不快哉。山僧今日不避泥水放一線道。」乃拈拄杖云:「還見雪峯麼?」遂卓拄杖云:「劄。」

[The Master] cited: "Xuefeng instructed the assembly, saying: 'Taking the entire great earth and gathering it up, it is the size of a grain of millet. Thrown before your faces, like a lacquer bucket you do not understand. Strike the drum and let everyone come inspect it!'"
The Master critiqued: "Severing the celestial cords and establishing the terrestrial axes are not yet sufficient to be called marvelous; cleaving Mount Taihua and opening the river's source are also not the mark of a deft hand. If here you can see through, you can scatter the bright pearls from the black dragon's lair and spew the fragrance of sandalwood groves—would that not be delightful? Today this mountain monk will not avoid mud and water to make a single pathway." He then took up his staff and said: "Do you still see Xuefeng?" He then planted the staff and said: "Zha!"
