上堂云：「昨日風，今日風，陣陣不從他發，十日雨，五日雨，點點不落別處。大方無外，大象無形，盡世界撮如粟米粒，總虛空乃掌中葉，可以拽新羅國與占波國鬪額，直得東勝身洲射箭，西瞿耶尼中垛，所以道：『髑髏常干世界，鼻孔摩觸家風。』若是未出陰界，尚滯見知聞，恁麼說話，一似鴨聽雷鳴、隔靴抓癢，直饒脫却根塵、去却機境，尚餘一線路在。且二途不涉一句作麼生道？還委悉麼？佛殿階前石獅子，大洋海底鐵崑崙。」

> Ascending the hall, he said: "Yesterday's wind and today's wind—gust after gust does not arise from elsewhere. Ten days of rain and five days of rain—drop after drop falls in no other place. The great square has no outside; the great image has no form. Gathering the entire world, it is like a grain of millet; taking all of empty space, it is a leaf in the palm. One can drag Silla and Champā to butt foreheads together, so that an arrow shot from the eastern continent Pūrvavideha strikes the target in the western continent Aparagodānīya. Therefore it is said: 'The skull constantly dries out the worlds; the nostrils rub against the lineage style.' If one has not yet stepped beyond the realm of the skandhas and is still trapped in seeing, knowing, and hearing, such talk is just like a duck listening to thunder, or scratching an itch across a boot. Even if you cast off sense organs and dust, and get rid of dynamic sharpness and objective realm, there still remains a single track of road. And how do you speak a phrase that does not tread either path? Do you fully understand? The stone lion before the steps of the Buddha Hall; the iron Kunlun at the bottom of the great ocean."
