上堂：「今朝正月半，普請大家看。過去燈明如來在汝諸人脚跟下放光動地，還見麼？若也見得，神頭鬼面裏元來有人在；若見不得，切忌撞牆撞壁。」復舉：「明招到招慶，有度上座問：『羅山尋常道：「諸方盡是\[麩-夫+少\]飯，惟有羅山是白飯。」上座從羅山來。』却展手云：『白飯請些子？』招打兩掌。度云：『將謂是白飯，元來只是\[麩-夫+少\]飯。』招云：『痴人棒打不死。』度至夜間舉似諸禪客次，招近前云：『不審。』度云：『今日便是這箇。』上座下兩掌。有\[啗-口+王\]上座云：『不用下掌，就裏許作麼生道？』招云：『就裏許也道道。』\[啗-口+王\]無對。招云：『是爾諸人一時縛作一束，倒卓向尿闥下，來日相見。珍重。』」師云：「尋常向諸人道，終日在洪波浩渺中舀水相潑，渾身無一點濕，是他明招蹈著遮些子，自然用出閑閑地。惜乎鋒頭少銳，引得許多葛藤。若是華藏見他道：『將謂是白飯，元來只是\[麩-夫+少\]飯。』連腮更與兩掌，且教遮漢疑三十年。」

> Ascending the hall: “This morning is the middle of the first month; I universally invite everyone to look. In the past, Dīpaṃkara Tathāgata emitted light and shook the earth beneath all of your heels. Do you still see it? If you can see it, amidst the god-heads and ghost-faces there has always been a person present. If you cannot see it, take care not to collide with walls and partitions.” He brought up further: “Mingzhao arrived at Zhaoqing. Senior Monk Du asked, ‘Luoshan constantly says, “In the various quarters it is all parched rice; only at Luoshan is there white rice.” You have come from Luoshan, Senior Monk.’ Thereupon he stretched out his hand and said, ‘May I have a little white rice?’ Mingzhao gave him two slaps. Du said, ‘I took it to be white rice, but originally it was only parched rice.’ Mingzhao said, ‘A fool cannot be killed by a beating.’ When night came, as Du was recounting this to the various Chan guests, Mingzhao approached and said, ‘Inquiring after you.’ Du said, ‘Today it was just this.’ Mingzhao gave him two slaps. Senior Monk Danwang said, ‘There is no need to give slaps. What do you say within this?’ Mingzhao said, ‘Speak, speak within this!’ Danwang had no reply. Mingzhao said, ‘I should tie all of you into a bundle and thrust you upside down under the urinal screen! See you tomorrow. Take care.’” The Master said, “I constantly tell all of you: all day long ladling and splashing water at one another amidst the vast surging waves, without a drop wetting the whole body—this Mingzhao stepped on this very bit, naturally functioning with leisurely ease. What a pity his spearpoint lacked sharpness, drawing out so many tangled vines. If Huazang had seen him say, ‘I took it to be white rice, but originally it was only parched rice,’ I would have given him two more slaps across the cheeks, causing this fellow to doubt for thirty years.”
