四年。翰林學士蘇軾知杭州。道過金山謁佛印禪師。值師集眾入室。軾竟造之。師曰。此無坐處。內翰何來。軾曰。暫借和上四大作禪床。師曰。有一轉語。若答得當如所請。若擬議即留所繫玉帶。軾許之。置玉帶几上。師曰。山僧四大本空。五蘊非有。內翰欲於何處坐。軾果擬議。師急呼侍者曰。收取玉帶永鎮山門。遂取納裙為報（師有偈公和韻云。病骨真堪玉帶圍。鈍根仍落箭鋒机。欲教乞食歌姬院。故與雲山舊納衣）子迨四歲不能行。及來杭請辯才法師為落𩬊。摩頂。數日即善步。軾賦詩為謝。有師來為摩頂起步趁奔鹿之句。

Fourth year [1089 CE]. Academician of the Hanlin Academy Su Shi governed Hangzhou. Passing through Jinshan, he visited Chan Master Foyin. It happened that the master had gathered the assembly to enter the room; Shi went straight in. The master said, "There is no seat here; why has the academician come?" Shi said, "I temporarily borrow the Venerable's four great elements as a meditation couch." The master said, "I have a turning phrase. If you can answer it, it will be as you request; if you hesitate, you must leave behind the jade belt you wear." Shi agreed and placed the jade belt on the table. The master said, "This mountain monk's four great elements are fundamentally empty, and the five aggregates do not exist. Where does the academician wish to sit?" Shi indeed hesitated. The master urgently called his attendant, saying, "Take the jade belt to guard the mountain gate forever!" He then presented a patched monastic robe in return. (The master wrote a gāthā, and the duke matched the rhymes: "These diseased bones are indeed fit to be encircled by a jade belt; / Dull capacities nevertheless fall into the trap of the arrow's point. / Wishing to send me begging for food in the quarters of singing girls, / You intentionally bestowed this old patched robe of clouds and mountains.") [Su's] son Dai was four years old and unable to walk; upon arriving in Hangzhou, he requested Dharma Master Biancai to shave his head and rub his crown. Within a few days, he walked well. Shi wrote a poem to thank him, which contained the line: "The master came to rub his crown, and he arose walking fast enough to chase a running deer."
