結夏上堂：「登山須到頂，涉海須到底，到頂則知宇宙之寬廓，到底則知大海之淺深，故我釋迦老子，以九夏之月剋期取證，而欲法中龍象，知其山之高海之深也。苟或飽食安眠，略無知愧，是大罪人，莫言不道。」

> Ascending the hall upon entering the summer retreat: "Climbing a mountain, one must reach the summit; wading an ocean, one must reach the bottom. Reaching the summit, one knows the vastness of the universe; reaching the bottom, one knows the depth of the great sea. Therefore our Old Śākya set a fixed period during the three months of summer to attain realization, wishing the dragons and elephants within the Dharma to know the height of that mountain and the depth of that sea. If you eat to the full and sleep comfortably without the slightest sense of shame, you are a great sinner—do not say you were not told."
