示眾，舉：「麻谷持錫到章敬，遶禪床三匝振錫一下，卓然而立。」師云：「純鋼打就，生鐵鑄成。」敬云：「是是。」師云：「錦上鋪華三五重。」谷又持錫到南泉，遶禪床三匝振錫一下，卓然而立。師云：「已納敗闕了也。」泉云：「不是不是。」師云：「枷上更著杻。」谷云：「章敬道是，和尚為甚麼道不是？」師云：「愁人莫向愁人說。」泉云：「章敬則是，是汝不是，此是風力所轉，終成敗壞。」師云：「試把火照看，南泉面皮厚多少。」復召大眾云：「雲門恁麼批判，且道：肯他不肯他？」

> Instructing the assembly, he cited: "Magu, carrying his staff, came to Zhangjing. He circled the meditation seat three times, struck the staff once, and stood tall and erect."  
> The Master said, "Forged from pure steel, cast from pig iron."  
> "Zhangjing said, 'Right, right.'"  
> The Master said, "Spreading three or five layers of brocade over flowers."  
> "Magu also carried his staff to Nanquan, circled the meditation seat three times, struck the staff once, and stood tall and erect."  
> The Master said, "He has already suffered defeat."  
> "Nanquan said, 'Not right, not right.'"  
> The Master said, "Adding handcuffs on top of the cangue."  
> "Magu said, 'Zhangjing said "right"; why does the Venerable say "not right"?'"  
> The Master said, "A sorrowful person should not speak to a sorrowful person."  
> "Nanquan said, 'Zhangjing was right; it is you who are not right. This is turned by the power of the wind; in the end it falls into ruin.'"  
> The Master said, "Try taking a torch and looking: how thick is Nanquan's face?"  
> He then addressed the assembly: "Yunmen has judged it like this; tell me: does he approve of him or not?"
