舉：「南泉示眾：『江西馬祖說即心即佛。王老師不恁麼，不是心，不是佛，不是物。恁麼道，還有過麼？』時趙州出禮拜了退。續有僧問趙州：『上座禮拜，意作麼生？』州云：『汝却問取和尚。』僧又問南泉：『適來諗上座意作麼生？』泉云：『他却領得老僧意。』」

> He cited: "Nanquan instructed the assembly: 'Mazu of Jiangxi said, "Mind itself is Buddha." Old Teacher Wang does not say so: it is not mind, it is not Buddha, it is not a thing. Speaking this way, is there still any fault?' At that time Zhaozhou came forward, bowed, and withdrew. Then a monk asked Zhaozhou, 'What was the meaning of the elder's bowing?' Zhaozhou said, 'You go ask the upādhyāya instead.' The monk also asked Nanquan, 'What was the meaning of Elder Shen just now?' Nanquan said, 'He understood this old monk's meaning.'"
