4.12

【三三】舉。陳操尚書看資福。福見來便畫一圓相（是精識精。是賊識賊。若不蘊藉爭識這漢。還見金剛圈麼）操云。弟子恁麼來。早是不著便。何況更畫一圓相（今日撞著箇瞌睡漢這老賊）福便掩却方丈門（賊不打貧兒家。已入他圈繢了也）雪竇云。陳操只具一隻眼（雪竇頂門具眼。且道他意在什麼處。也好與一圓相。灼然龍頭蛇尾。當時好與一拶。教伊進亦無門退亦無路。且道更與他什麼一拶）。

[33] Case: Minister Chen Cao visited Zifu. When Fu saw him coming, he immediately drew a circle. (A spirit recognizes a spirit; a thief recognizes a thief. If one is not refined, how could one recognize this fellow? Do you see the diamond ring?) / Cao said, "For your disciple to come like this is already inappropriate; how much more so to draw another circle?" (Today he ran into a sleepy fellow. This old thief!) / Fu then shut the door of the abbot's quarters. (A thief does not burgle a pauper's house. Already entered into his snare.) / Xuedou said, "Chen Cao only possesses one eye." (Xuedou possesses an eye atop his crown. Tell me, where does his intent lie? It is also fine to give him a circle. Truly a dragon's head and snake's tail. At that time one should have given him a pressuring push, leaving him no door to advance and no road to retreat. But tell me, what kind of pressuring push should have been given him?)
