到雪竇，請上堂：「平常無生句，妙玄無私句，體明無盡句，一鏃破三關，他家有本據。作麼生是他家本據？莫怪從前多意氣，他家曾蹋上頭關。」復舉：「僧問明覺禪師：『如何是諸佛本源？』明覺云：『千峯寒色。』僧云：『未審向上還有事也無？』明覺云：『雨滴巖華。』」師云：「千峯寒色，雨滴巖華，今日不妨應時應節，若是諸佛本源，不得動著。為甚麼不得動著？自有雪竇主人在。」

> Arriving at Xuedou, \[the Master\] was invited to ascend the hall: "An ordinary phrase of non-arising; a wondrous, profound phrase of impartiality; an intrinsically luminous phrase of inexhaustibility. A single arrow pierces the three checkpoints; that family possesses its own foundation. What is that family's foundation? Do not blame that formerly there was much spirit; that family once trod upon the uppermost checkpoint." He brought up again: "A monk asked Chan Master Mingjue, 'What is the fundamental source of all buddhas?' Mingjue said, 'The cold hues of a thousand peaks.' The monk said, 'I wonder, is there still something further beyond?' Mingjue said, 'Rain dripping on cliff blossoms.'" The Master said, "'The cold hues of a thousand peaks', 'Rain dripping on cliff blossoms'—today this does no harm in matching the time and occasion. But if it is the fundamental source of all buddhas, you must not stir it. Why must you not stir it? Naturally, the host of Xuedou is present."
