示眾，舉：「南泉坐次，一僧問訊叉手而立，泉云：『太俗生。』僧合掌，泉云：『太僧生。』僧無語。」師云：「合掌太僧生，叉手又俗氣，總不恁麼時，尊體無頓處。無頓處，有巴鼻，唵蘇嚕蘇嚕悉唎悉唎。」喝一喝云：「是甚麼？近來王令稍嚴，不許攙行奪市。」

> Instructing the assembly, he cited: "Nanquan was sitting when a monk inquired after his health and stood with folded hands. Nanquan said, 'Too worldly.' The monk joined his palms. Nanquan said, 'Too monkish.' The monk was speechless."  
> The Master said, "Joining the palms is too monkish; folding the hands is worldly again. When it is not like either at all, your venerable body has nowhere to settle. Where there is nowhere to settle, there is a handle: Oṃ suru-suru śrī-śrī." Giving a shout, he said, "What is this? Lately the king's decrees have been somewhat strict; poaching in another's trade and seizing the market is not permitted."
