上堂舉：「僧問洞山：『寒暑到來，如何回避？』山云：『何不向無寒暑處去？』僧云：『如何是無寒暑處？』山云：『寒時寒殺闍黎，熱時熱殺闍黎。』又僧問一老宿：『時節恁麼熱，向甚處回避？』宿云：『向鑊湯爐炭裏回避。』僧云：『鑊湯爐炭裏如何回避？』宿云：『眾苦不能到。』」師云：「二老宿，一人在寒暑裏垂手，一人在寒暑外垂手。寒暑裏垂手者，不見有寒暑之相；寒暑外垂手者，通身是寒暑。徑山恁麼道，諸人還辯明得麼？若辯明得，南天台北五臺，若辯明不得，今日熱如昨日。」

> Ascending the hall, \[the Master\] brought up: "A monk asked Dongshan, 'When cold and heat arrive, how should one avoid them?' Dongshan said, 'Why not go to the place where there is neither cold nor heat?' The monk said, 'What is the place where there is neither cold nor heat?' Dongshan said, 'When it is cold, it freezes the ācārya to death; when it is hot, it scorches the ācārya to death.' Another monk asked an elder master, 'The weather is so hot, where should one go to avoid it?' The elder said, 'Avoid it inside the boiling cauldron and glowing coals.' The monk said, 'How can one avoid it inside the boiling cauldron and glowing coals?' The elder said, 'The multitude of sufferings cannot reach there.'" The Master said, "Of the two elders, one extended his hands within the cold and heat, and the other extended his hands outside the cold and heat. The one who extended his hands within the cold and heat did not see the characteristics of cold and heat; the one who extended his hands outside the cold and heat was thoroughly cold and heat from head to toe. When Jingshan speaks like this, can you all distinguish it clearly? If you can distinguish it clearly, \[it is like\] Tiantai in the south and Wutai in the north; if you cannot distinguish it clearly, today is hotter than yesterday."
