上堂，舉：「馬祖因百丈再參，祖以目視禪床角拂子，丈云：『即此用，離此用。』祖云：『爾向後開兩片皮，將何為人？』丈取拂子竪起，祖云：『即此用，離此用。』丈掛拂子舊處，祖震威一喝，丈云：『我直得三日耳聾。』」師云：「豈止乎百丈三日耳聾，直使盡天下人，聽事不真、喚鐘作甕，方契馬師。」

> Ascending the hall, he raised: "When Baizhang visited Mazu a second time, Mazu looked with his eyes at the whisk on the corner of the meditation couch. Baizhang said, 'Identify with this function, separate from this function.' Mazu said, 'Later on, when you open your two lips, what will you use to help people?' Baizhang took the whisk and held it upright. Mazu said, 'Identify with this function, separate from this function.' Baizhang hung the whisk back in its old place. Mazu gave an awe-inspiring shout, and Baizhang said, 'I was completely deafened for three days.'" The Master said, "How was it only Baizhang who was deafened for three days? One must make all the people under heaven hear things untruly and call a bell a jar, only then tallying with Master Ma."
