復舉:「雪峯領眾到浮江,乃問云:『欲寄二百僧過夏,得否?』浮江以主丈畫一畫云:『著不得。』」師云:「好峭互陳,對面千里,有人寄僧,過夏南山,大開東閤。何故?彼此出家兒。」

He also cited: "When Xuefeng led the assembly to Fujiang, he asked: 'I wish to lodge two hundred monks here for the summer retreat; is it permitted?' Fujiang drew a line with his staff and said: 'They cannot be accommodated.'" The Master said: "A fine and sharp deployment, a thousand miles face-to-face. If someone lodges monks for the summer retreat at Southern Mountain, I open wide the eastern chambers. Why? We are both children of the home-leaving life."
