上堂，僧問：「法身有三種病、二種光。光即不問。未審法身還具四大也無？」師云：「具。」進云：「如何是法身？」師云：「地水火風。」進云：「如何是四大？」師云：「漆桶不快。」進云：「法身向上還更有事也無？」師云：「但向下會取。」乃舉：「僧問趙州：『如何是出來底人？』州云：『諸佛菩薩。』」師云：「大小趙州，元來膽小。或有人問徑山：『如何是出來底人？』向他道：『泥猪疥狗。』他若道：『徑山舌頭得恁麼自在。』我也知爾是箇漆桶。」

> Ascending the hall, a monk asked, "The dharmakāya has three kinds of illnesses and two kinds of light. Not asking about the light—I wonder if the dharmakāya possesses the four great elements as well?" The Master said, "It possesses them." The monk advanced, saying, "What is the dharmakāya?" The Master said, "Earth, water, fire, and wind." The monk advanced, saying, "What are the four great elements?" The Master said, "The lacquer bucket is not bright." The monk advanced, saying, "Above the dharmakāya, is there still something more?" The Master said, "Just understand it downwards." He then cited: "A monk asked Zhaozhou, 'Who is the person who has come out?' Zhaozhou said, 'All buddhas and bodhisattvas.'" The Master said, "Great and small Zhaozhou originally lacked courage! If someone were to ask Jingshan, 'Who is the person who has come out?' I would say to him, 'Muddy pigs and mangy dogs.' If he were to say, 'Jingshan's tongue has achieved such freedom,' I would also know that you are a lacquer bucket."
