舉：「靈雲見桃華悟道頌：『三十年來尋劍客，幾回葉落又抽枝，自從一見桃華後，直至如今更不疑。』玄沙云：『諦當甚諦當，敢保老兄未徹在。』」師云：「千鈞之弩不為鼷鼠發機，靈雲既撥動天關，玄沙乃掀翻地軸，且道：那箇是未徹處？具透關眼者試請辨看。」

> \[The Master\] cited: "Lingyun saw peach blossoms and was awakened to the Way, uttering a verse: 'For thirty years I sought a sword-bearing guest; / How many times did leaves fall and branches sprout anew? / Ever since I once saw the peach blossoms, / Direct up to now I have doubted no more.' Xuansha said, 'Exceedingly right, very right indeed! Yet I dare guarantee the venerable elder is not yet thoroughgoing.'"  
> The Master said, "A crossbow of a thousand jun does not trigger its mechanism for a tiny mouse. Lingyun having stirred the heavenly portal, Xuansha thereupon overturned the terrestrial pivot. Tell me: which is the place that is not yet thoroughgoing? Let those with the eye to penetrate the barrier try to distinguish it!"
