上堂，僧問：「靈雲見桃花悟去，學人每日也見一枝兩枝，因甚不悟？」師云：「含血噴人，先污其口。」僧云：「為甚玄沙不肯他？」師云：「他是他屋裏人。」僧云：「學人到者裏，大似胡孫咬生鐵。」師云：「爾莫只管上頭上面。」僧云：「也要和尚委悉。」

> Ascending the hall, a monk asked, "Lingyun was enlightened upon seeing peach blossoms. This student also sees one or two branches every day; why am I not enlightened?"  
> The master said, "Holding blood in your mouth to spit at others, your own mouth is dirtied first."  
> The monk said, "Why did Xuansha not approve him?"  
> The master said, "He is a person within his own house."  
> The monk said, "When this student reaches here, it is much like a monkey biting raw iron."  
> The master said, "Do not just care about looking good on the surface."  
> The monk said, "I still require the Venerable to understand thoroughly."
