開爐上堂，舉：「百丈因溈山侍立深夜，丈云：『看爐中有火否？』溈撥之云：『無。』丈躬撥之，得小火，云：『爾道無，這箇是甚麼？』溈山當下悟去。」師云：「洞房花燭夜，金牓挂名時，是則一時快意。當時若用再參馬祖底，溈山門戶未至寂寥。」

> Ascending the hall for the lighting of the hearth, he cited: "Because Guishan was attending Baizhang late at night, Baizhang said, 'See if there is fire in the hearth.' Guishan stirred it and said, 'There is none.' Baizhang stirred it himself and found a small spark, saying, 'You said there was none—what is this?' Guishan was awakened right then." The Master said: "The bridal chamber on the wedding night; having one's name posted on the golden roll—these are indeed momentarily thrilling. If at that time he had used that to visit Mazu again, the gate of Guishan would not have become deserted."
