復舉:「良遂座主,參麻谷和尚,一見來便携鋤入菜園,略不相顧。復參次,谷便閉却門,遂扣門,谷云:『誰?』遂應聲未絕,豁然大悟云:『和尚莫謾良遂好,若不來見和尚,幾被經論誤却一生。』後來告眾云:『良遂知處,諸人不知;諸人知處,良遂總知。』頌云:『諸人知處良遂知,良遂知處人不知,因思積雨花狼藉,空寫愁膓說向誰。』」

He also cited: "When the lecturer Liangsuì visited Upādhyāya Magu, as soon as Magu saw him coming, he picked up a hoe and went into the vegetable garden without paying him any attention. When Liangsuì visited again, Magu shut the gate. Liangsuì knocked on the gate. Magu said: 'Who is it?' Liangsuì had barely answered when he was suddenly enlightened, saying: 'Upādhyāya, it is best not to deceive Liangsuì! If I had not come to see the upādhyāya, I would have been misled for a lifetime by the sūtras and treatises.' Later he announced to the assembly: 'What Liangsuì knows, you all do not know; what you all know, Liangsuì knows it all.' A verse says: / 'What you all know, Liangsuì knows; / What Liangsuì knows, no one knows. / Recalling the tangled blossoms after persistent rains, / In vain I pour out my sorrowful belly—to whom can I speak?'"
