上堂，舉：「雪峯、巖頭、欽山往河北禮拜臨際，路逢定上座，峯云：『臨際和尚健否？』定云：『已遷化了。』雪峯、巖頭相顧太息，復問：『尋常有何言句示徒？』定云：『赤肉團上有一無位真人，常在諸人面門出入，未證據者看看。』欽云：『何不道非無位真人。』定擒住云：『無位真人與非無位真人，相去多少？速道速道。』欽山色動不能對，雪峯、巖頭勸解，定云：『若不看者兩箇老凍膿面，𡎺殺爾者尿床鬼子。』」師云：「定上座雖則對物收稅，爭奈雪峯、巖頭何？有人緇素得出，換盞點茶供養爾。」

> Ascending the hall, he cited: "Xuefeng, Yantou, and Qinshan went to Hebei to pay respects to Linji. On the road they met Senior Ding. Feng said, 'Is Upādhyāya Linji in good health?' Ding said, 'He has already passed away.' Xuefeng and Yantou looked at each other and sighed deeply. They further asked, 'What words and phrases did he usually give to show his disciples?' Ding said, 'On this lump of red flesh there is a true person without rank, constantly entering and exiting through the face-gates of each of you. Those who have not yet attained proof, look! Look!' Qin said, 'Why not say, "not a true person without rank"?' Ding seized him and said, 'The true person without rank and not a true person without rank—how far apart are they? Speak quickly! Speak quickly!' Qinshan changed color and could not reply. Xuefeng and Yantou urged peace. Ding said, 'If not for the sake of the faces of these two old sacks of pus, I would choke you to death, you bed-wetting ghost!'" The Master said, "Although Senior Ding levied taxes according to the goods, what could he do about Xuefeng and Yantou? If someone can distinguish black from white here, I will change bowls, brew tea, and make an offering to you."
