復舉：「閩王請羅山開堂，纔登座，以手歛僧伽梨衣，顧視大眾便下座。王近前執山手云：『靈山一會，何異今日？』山云：『將謂爾是箇俗漢。』」師云：「羅山當時下者一著，不妨驚群動眾，賴遇大王是佛法中人。今日忽有人問新寶林，只對他道：『將謂無人知音。』自然頭正尾正。」

> He also cited: "The King of Min invited Luoshan to open the hall. Just as he ascended the seat, he gathered his saṅghāṭī robe with his hands, looked at the great assembly, and immediately stepped down from the seat. The King came forward, took Luoshan's hand, and said, 'How does the assembly on Gṛdhrakūṭa differ from today?' Luoshan said, 'I took you for a common fellow.'"  
> The Master said: "Luoshan making this move at that time certainly startled the crowd and stirred the assembly, thanks to meeting a great king who was a person of the Buddhadharma. If today someone suddenly asked the new Baolin, I would only say to him: 'I took it that there was no one who understood the tone.' Naturally, head and tail would be aligned."
