復舉：「欽山同巖頭、雪峯行脚會茶次，欽山云：『若不解轉身通氣，不得喫茶。』巖頭云：『若恁麼，我斷不得茶喫。』雪峯云：『某甲亦然。』」拈云：「親師擇友之難，古之今之，欽山方致薄禮，便有人動他座子。徑山則不然，但有來者，便請高挂鉢囊，飽喫了常住茶飯，一任看山看水，恁麼過，切不得漏泄。何故？」卓主丈：「恐百鳥獻花無路。」

He raised this again: "When Qinshan was on an itinerant pilgrimage with Yantou and Xuefeng, while taking tea together, Qinshan said, 'If one does not understand how to turn one's body and clear the breath, one cannot drink tea.' Yantou said, 'If it is like that, I certainly cannot get to drink tea.' Xuefeng said, 'It is the same for me.'" [The Master] brought it up and said: "The difficulty of associating with a teacher and choosing friends has been so from ancient times to the present. Qinshan had merely offered a slight courtesy, and immediately someone rocked his seat. Mount Jing is not like that: whenever someone comes, I just invite them to hang their bowl-bag high, eat their fill of the monastery's tea and rice, and let them watch the mountains and watch the waters as they please. Passing the time in this way, you must by no means let it leak out. Why?" He struck with the staff: "Lest there be no way for the hundred birds to present flowers."
