陞座，拈香祝聖罷，歛衣就座，僧問：「丹書來鳳闕，瑞氣藹禪坊，少室無私句，當機願發揚。」師云：「杲日當空。」進云：「萬邦歌舜化，千載祝堯年。」師云：「傾盡此時心。」進云：「安撫疏中道：『徑山天目之奇峯，久尸法席；靈隱錢塘之勝概，願得主盟。』且道住靈隱好？住徑山好？」師云：「一點水墨，兩處成龍。」進云：「兵隨印轉，將逐符行。」師云：「直須截斷脚跟始得。」進云：「恁麼則草鞋高掛龍床角，坐振飛來第一峯。」師云：「聲前句後一時收。」師乃云：「一處通，千處百處一時通；一處透，千處百處一時透。如開武庫，錯落交輝；又如大火聚，覷著燎却面門。如是則居方則方，遇圓則圓，拈一莖草作丈六金身，拈丈六金身作一莖草。坐斷情塵意想，不落見聞覺知，敲唱俱行，十虛通暢。且移身換步一句作麼生道？薰風生閫外，白日遶須彌。」

Ascending the seat, after offering incense and praying for the Emperor, he gathered his robes and sat down. A monk asked: "The red edict comes from the Phoenix Palace; auspicious vapor pervades the Chan monastery. For the unselfish phrase of Shaoshi, we pray that you will reveal it in response to the moment."
The Master said: "The radiant sun is in the sky."
The monk continued: "Ten thousand states sing of Shun's transformation; a thousand ages celebrate Yao's years."
The Master said: "Completely exhausting the heart of this moment."
The monk continued: "The Pacification Commissioner's document states: 'The marvelous peak of Tianmu at Jingshan has long presided over the Dharma seat; for the superb scenery of Qiantang at Lingyin, we wish to obtain you as leader.' Tell me, is dwelling at Lingyin better, or dwelling at Jingshan better?"
The Master said: "A single drop of water and ink forms dragons in two places."
The monk continued: "Soldiers turn according to the seal; generals march following the tally."
The Master said: "You must cut off your heels before you get it."
The monk continued: "Then the straw sandals are hung high on the corner of the dragon couch, sitting to shake Feilai's foremost peak."
The Master said: "Before the sound and after the phrase, gathered in at once."
The Master then said: "When one place penetrates, a thousand places, a hundred places penetrate all at once; when one place breaks through, a thousand places, a hundred places break through all at once. It is like opening an armory: brightly glittering in cross-radiance; again, it is like a great blazing mass of fire: gaze at it, and it scorches your face off. When like this, if you abide in squareness, it is square; if you encounter roundness, it is round. Pick up a blade of grass and make it a sixteen-foot golden body; pick up a sixteen-foot golden body and make it a blade of grass. Cut off emotional dust and conceptual thoughts; do not fall into seeing, hearing, perceiving, and knowing. Tapping and singing proceed together; the ten directions of emptiness are thoroughly open. And tell me, how do you express the phrase of shifting the body and changing steps? A balmy breeze arises beyond the threshold; the white sun circles Sumeru."
