汾陽云。凡一句語。須具三玄門。每一玄門。須具三要路。有照有用。或先照後用。或先用後照。或照用同時。或照用不同時。先照後用。且共汝商量。先用後照。汝也是箇人始得。照用同時。汝作麼生當抵。照用不同時。汝作麼生湊泊。琅瑘覺云。先照後用。露師子之爪牙。先用後照。縱象王之威猛。照用同時。如龍得水致雨騰雲。照用不同時。提獎嬰兒。撫憐赤子。此古人建立法門。為合如是。不合如是。若合如是。紀信乘九龍之輦。不合如是。項羽失千里之騅。還有為琅瑘出氣底麼。如無山僧自道去也。卓拄杖下座。

Fenyang said: "Every single phrase must possess the three mysterious gates; every mysterious gate must possess the three essential paths. There is illumination and there is function: either first illuminate and then function, or first function and then illuminate, or illumination and function are simultaneous, or illumination and function are not simultaneous. In 'first illuminate and then function,' for now I consult with you. In 'first function and then illuminate,' you must be a real person to begin with. In 'illumination and function are simultaneous,' how will you resist? In 'illumination and function are not simultaneous,' how will you make sense of it?" Langye Jiao said: "'First illuminate and then function' bares the claws and teeth of the lion. 'First function and then illuminate' unleashes the fierce might of the elephant king. 'Illumination and function are simultaneous' is like a dragon gaining water, causing rain and ascending on clouds. 'Illumination and function are not simultaneous' is holding up and guiding an infant, nursing and cherishing a babe. As for this Dharma gate established by the ancients, should it be like this, or should it not be like this? If it should be like this, Ji Xin rides the chariot of nine dragons. If it should not be like this, Xiang Yu loses his thousand-mile piebald horse. Is there anyone who will vent indignation on Langye's behalf? If not, this mountain monk will speak for himself." He struck his staff and stepped down from the seat.
