台州勝光和尚。問如何是和尚家風。師曰。福州茘枝泉州刺桐。問如何是佛法兩字。師曰。即便道。僧曰。請師道。師曰。穿耳胡僧笑點頭。龍華照和尚來。師把住云。作麼生。照云。莫錯。師乃放手。照云。久嚮勝光。師默然。照乃辭。師門送云。自此一別什麼處相見。照呵呵而去。

Upādhyāya Shengguang of Taizhou. [A monk] asked, "What is the Upādhyāya's house style?" The Master said, "Lychees in Fuzhou, tiger's claw flowers in Quanzhou." [A monk] asked, "What are the two words 'Buddha Dharma'?" The Master said, "Speak right away." The monk said, "Please, Master, speak." The Master said, "The ear-pierced foreign monk nods his head with a smile." Upādhyāya Zhao of Longhua came. The Master grabbed hold of him and said, "What is it?" Zhao said, "Make no mistake." The Master then released his hand. Zhao said, "Long have I admired Shengguang." The Master remained silent. Zhao then took his leave. Seeing him off at the gate, the Master said, "Parting from here, where shall we meet?" Zhao went away laughing heartily.
