上堂,僧問:「仰山道:『神通游戲即不無尊者,佛法須還老僧始得。』未審他據箇甚麼道理?」師云:「只知開口笑,不覺舌頭長。」進云:「恁麼則今日却被和尚笑也。」師云:「揚聲止響作麼?」進云:「神通游戲則不無尊者,佛法須還徑山始得。」師云:「還見徑山麼?」進云:「少賣弄。」師云:「有眼如盲。」乃云:「神通游戲,仰山灼然不會,佛法要妙,羅漢灼然不知。雖然彼此不相知,要且各各無欠少。既無欠少,長者長法身,短者短法身,圓者圓法身,方者方法身;便恁麼悟去,方知長者不是長,短者不是短,圓者不是圓,方者不是方。既總不是,却喚甚麼作法身?」喝一喝云:「洎合停囚長智。」

Ascending the hall, a monk asked: "Yangshan said: 'Spiritual penetrations and playful roaming are not lacking in the venerable one, but the Buddha Dharma must be left to the old monk.' I wonder, on what principle did he rely?" The Master said: "He only knows how to open his mouth and laugh, not realizing his tongue is long." The monk continued: "If so, then today he is laughed at by the Venerable." The Master said: "Why raise your voice to stop an echo?" The monk continued: "Spiritual penetrations and playful roaming are not lacking in the venerable one, but the Buddha Dharma must be left to Jingshan." The Master said: "Do you still see Jingshan?" The monk continued: "Do not show off so much." The Master said: "Having eyes is like being blind." He then said: "Yangshan clearly did not understand spiritual penetrations and playful roaming; the arhat clearly did not know the subtle essentials of the Buddha Dharma. Although they did not know each other, each lacked nothing. Since nothing was lacking, the long is the long dharmakāya, the short is the short dharmakāya, the round is the round dharmakāya, the square is the square dharmakāya. If you awaken in this way, only then will you know that the long is not long, the short is not short, the round is not round, and the square is not square. Since all are not, what then do you call the dharmakāya?" He gave a shout and said: "Almost like prolonging imprisonment to increase wisdom."
