上堂僧問。雪覆千峯時如何。師云。滴水滴凍。僧云。清光寒照眼。野色皓迷家。師云。露地白牛向甚處去。僧云在。師云。又是頭角生也。僧云。畢竟向甚麼處去。師云。底處轉身時。孤峯元不白。師乃云。靜沈沈明蕩蕩。雪滿十方。雲迷四向。一色影裏是誰坐著功勳。百尺竿頭阿爾變通伎倆。恁麼時須辨幾微。恁麼處須明的當。趁不去露地白牛。透得過渡河香象。徹見其源。如指諸掌。恁麼盡去也。無法可傳。恁麼却來也。有人相亮參。

Ascending the hall, a monk asked: "How is it when snow covers the thousand peaks?"
The Master said: "Dripping water, dripping ice."
The monk said: "Clear light coldly shines upon the eyes; the wild landscape, dazzling white, bewilders the home."
The Master said: "Where has the white ox on open ground gone?"
The monk said: "It is present."
The Master said: "Horns have grown again!"
The monk said: "Ultimately, where does it go?"
The Master said: "When turning oneself around at the base, the solitary peak is originally not white."
The Master then said: "Profoundly still and vast, brightly open and clear. Snow fills the ten directions; clouds bewilder the four directions. In the shadow of the single color, who sits in achievement? At the top of the hundred-foot pole, what are your adaptive skills? At such a time, one must discern the subtlest nuance; in such a place, one must clarify the exact truth. The white ox on open ground cannot be driven away; the fragrant elephant crossing the river can penetrate through. Seeing thoroughly to its source is like pointing to one's palm. When going completely like this, there is no Dharma to transmit; when returning like this, there is someone to understand and appreciate you. Practise!"
