峽州東山馳法嗣書到，上堂云：「靈山會上千葉騰芳，少室峯前一枝獨秀，生佛未具已見蟠根，空劫那邊轉彰文彩，渾崙擘不破，撲鼻更馨香，八面自玲瓏，通身轉綿密。箭鋒相拄，針芥相投，則且置，獨脫一句作麼生道？倏爾風雲會，廓然天地春。」復云：「坐見東山振古風，頂門眼正有全功，操持臨濟金剛劍，倜儻楊岐栗棘蓬，鐵壁銀山須作用，魔宮虎穴亦流通，攝將香水無邊剎，併入鉗鎚爐鞴中。」

> When Dongshan of Xiazhou sent a letter of Dharma transmission arriving, \[the Master\] ascended the hall and said: "At the assembly on Vulture Peak, a thousand leaves sent forth fragrance; before Shaoshi Peak, a single branch stood alone in beauty. Before sentient beings and buddhas were equipped, its coiling roots were already seen; beyond the kalpa of emptiness, its ornate patterns were ever more displayed. Whole and uncarved, it cannot be broken apart; striking the nose, it is even more fragrant. In eight directions naturally exquisite, the whole body becomes increasingly dense. Arrowheads meeting point to point, needle and mustard seed corresponding—leaving this aside, how do you speak a phrase of singular transcendence? Suddenly wind and clouds meet; vast and wide, heaven and earth are spring." He further said: "Sitting, I see Dongshan revive the ancient style; the eye on the crown of the head is upright, possessing full accomplishment. Holding Linji's diamond sword, unbound like Yangqi's chestnut burr. Iron walls and silver mountains must be put to function; demon palaces and tiger dens also permit free passage. Gathering the boundless lands of fragrant water, all are cast into the tongs, hammer, and furnace."
