歲夜小參：「年窮歲盡時，或笑或顰眉，飽者終日飽，飢者終日飢。唯有衲僧家不耕而食不蠶而衣，孜孜矻矻如愚如痴。忽聽忠言逆耳，便見心動神疲。禪和子禪和子不須疑，或去或住，總是父母未生時。山僧恁麼告報，未免鳳林吒之。復舉頌云：『一年三百六十日，今宵正是結交頭，移身換步無多子，六合清風來未休。』」

> An informal gathering on New Year's Eve: "When the year runs out and ends, some laugh, some knit their brows. The sated are sated all day long; the hungry are hungry all day long. Only patch-robed monks eat without plowing and dress without raising silkworms, diligently toiling as if foolish, as if stupid. Suddenly hearing honest words grating on the ears, one sees their minds agitated and spirits exhausted. You Chan fellows, you Chan fellows, there is no need to doubt: whether going or staying, it is always the time before your parents were born. When this mountain monk announces it like this, he cannot avoid Fenglin's scolding." He further brought up a verse, saying: / 'The three hundred and sixty days of a year, / Tonight is precisely the joining point; / Moving the body and shifting one's steps amounts to nothing much, / The pure wind from the six directions comes without ceasing.'"
