### [9.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.4)

謝知事上堂：「楊岐挾紙衾，出入庫司三十年，力輔慈明，用都寺不點常住油，買大椀造食供養大眾，後為亞世命師，叢林標準，況此龍峯名滿天下，來者即非凡木，居者盡是棟材，從茲日日春風，挽回國師元氣。且股肱得人，一句作麼生？老僧八十間無數，贏得看山復看雲。」

> Ascending the hall to thank the monastic officers: "Yangqi carried a paper blanket, entering and leaving the treasury for thirty years, vigorously supporting Ciming; serving as prior, he did not burn the permanent property's oil, and bought large bowls to prepare food and offer it to the great assembly. Later he became an exemplary master second to none, a standard for the Chan groves. What is more, this Dragon Peak is famous throughout the world; those who come are no ordinary timber, and those who dwell here are all pillar-grade wood. From this time forward, day after day of spring breeze will restore the National Teacher's original vigor. And when the right assistants are found, what is the single phrase? The old monk at eighty has countless leisure, earning the right to look at mountains and look again at clouds."
