乃舉：「仰山參東寺，纔跨門，寺云：『已相見了，不用上來。』仰云：『與麼相見，莫不得麼？』寺便歸方丈，閉却門。仰山歸，舉似溈山，溈云：『子是甚麼心行？』仰云：『若不與麼，爭識得伊。』」師云：「東寺便歸方丈，千古楷模；仰山舉似溈山，因邪打正。」

> He then cited: "Yangshan called on Dongsi. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Dongsi said: 'We have already met; no need to come up.' Yangshan said: 'Meeting like this—can it not be permitted?' Dongsi then returned to the abbot's quarters and shut the door. When Yangshan returned, he recounted this to Guishan. Guishan said: 'What was your intention in acting like that?' Yangshan said: 'If not for that, how could I have recognized him?'" The master said, "Dongsi's returning straight to the abbot's quarters is an exemplar for a thousand ages; Yangshan's recounting it to Guishan struck the straight by way of the crooked."
