舉雪峯與三聖行次。見一隊猢猻。峯云。祇這猢猻。各各皆一面古鏡。聖云。歷劫無名。何以彰為古鏡。峯云。瑕生也。聖云。一千五百人善知識。話頭也不識。峯云。老僧住持事煩。師云。當時若見雪峯道瑕生也。但近前云喏喏。且道。何故如此。爭之不足。讓之有餘。

> \[Hongzhi\] cited: Xuefeng and Sansheng were walking along, and saw a troop of monkeys. Xuefeng said, "Every one of these monkeys is an ancient mirror." Sansheng said, "Nameless through countless kalpas, how can they be displayed as ancient mirrors?" Xuefeng said, "A flaw has appeared." Sansheng said, "A good friend to one thousand five hundred people, yet you do not even recognise the crux of the words!" Xuefeng said, "This old monk's administrative affairs as abbot are troublesome." The Master \[Hongzhi\] said, "If at that time one had seen Xuefeng say, 'A flaw has appeared,' one should just step forward and say, 'Yes, yes.' And tell me, why is it like this? Vying for it is not enough; yielding it leaves plenty to spare."
