雲峯和尚　師住徑山。初江淮釋教都總統楊輦真迦。集江南禪教諸僧。朝覲登殿對御論禪。宣上竺僧問講何經。答云。法華經。次問仙林僧講何經。奏云。百法論。次問師云。禪以何為宗。奏對曰。禪也者淨智妙圓體本空寂。非見聞覺知之所可知。非思量分別之所能解（備談本末）又云。夫禪與教本一體也。禪乃佛之心。教乃佛之語。因佛語而見佛心。譬之百川異流同歸於海。到海則無異味（云云）謝恩賜饌。

> Master Yunfeng resided at Jingshan. Earlier, Yang Lianzhenjia, the General Superintendent of Buddhist Teaching in Jiang-Huai, gathered various Chan and Doctrinal monks of Jiangnan to have an audience at the palace and debate Chan before the throne. A monk from Upper Tianzhu was summoned and asked what scripture he expounded; he answered, 'The Lotus Sūtra.' Next, a monk from Xianlin was asked what scripture he expounded; he memorialized, 'The Treatise on the Hundred Dharmas.' Next, the Master was asked, 'What does Chan take as its principle?' He replied to the throne, 'Chan is pure wisdom, wondrous and complete, its essence fundamentally empty and quiescent; it cannot be known through seeing, hearing, perceiving, or knowing, nor can it be comprehended through thinking and discriminating.' (He fully discussed the fundamental and secondary.) He also said, 'Chan and the Doctrinal Teachings are fundamentally one essence. Chan is the Buddha's mind; the Doctrinal Teachings are the Buddha's words. Through the Buddha's words one sees the Buddha's mind. It is like the hundred rivers with different currents returning together to the sea; once they reach the sea, there is no different taste.' (And so forth.) He gave thanks for the imperial favour and was granted food.
