結制，上堂：「今朝十五日，叢林皆結制，徑山有條攀條，無條攀例，逼拶露柱燈籠，盡要心空及第，現前普請證明，不妨神通游戲，下座各敘時暄，便是靈山受記。」遂拈拄杖云：「唯有主丈子，列列挈挈，磽磽誵誵，搖頭擺尾道：『不是，不是。』」復召大眾云：「且道拄杖子有什麼長處？」遂擲下云：「不是，不是。」下座。

> Entering retreat, he ascended the hall and said: "Today is the fifteenth day; monastic groves everywhere enter retreat. Jingshan has rules to cling to rules, and without rules clings to precedents, pressing hard against the bare pillars and lanterns, demanding that all empty the mind and pass the examination. The present assembly is universally invited to bear witness; there is no harm in the playful sport of spiritual powers. Descending from the seat, each conversing about the weather of the season—that itself is the bestowal of prophecy on Gṛdhrakūṭa." Thereupon he took up his staff and said: "Only the staff, clumsy and awkward, crude and contentious, shakes its head and wags its tail, saying: 'Not so, not so!'" He again called out to the great assembly, saying: "Tell me, what strong point does the staff have?" Thereupon he threw it down and said: "Not so, not so!" He descended from the seat.
