復舉：「永明壽禪師，在天台韶國師會中普請次，聞墮薪有聲，豁然契悟，乃云：『撲落非他物，縱橫不是塵，山河并大地，全露法王身。』」師云：「壽禪師，大似窮儒登群玉之府，無不稱心滿意，只是中間有一字子未穩。」

> He further cited: "While Chan Master Yongming Shou was participating in general labor in the assembly of National Teacher Tiantai Shao, he heard the sound of falling firewood and was thoroughly awakened. He then said: / 'Tumbling down, it is no other thing; / Crisscrossing, it is not dust. / Mountains, rivers, and the great earth / Wholly reveal the body of the Dharma King.'" The Master said: "Master Shou is much like an impoverished scholar entering the Hall of Assembled Jades: there was nothing that did not satisfy his heart and fulfill his intent. It is just that in the middle there is one word that is not yet settled."
