元宵上堂：「人間燈，天上月，有明有暗、有圓有缺底事，貪觀心未歇，興聖室內無油，免得證龜作鼈。」
Ascending the hall on the Lantern Festival: 'Lamps among mortals, the moon in heaven—matters of brightness and dimness, waxing and waning. Greedy to look, the mind does not rest; inside Xingsheng's room there is no oil, avoiding proving a turtle to be a terrapin.'
