筠州末山尼了然灌溪閑和尚。遊方時到山先云。若相當即住。不然則推倒禪床。乃入堂內。然遣侍者問。上座遊山來為佛法來。閑云。為佛法來。然乃升座。閑上參。然問。上座今日離何處。閑云。離路口。然云。何不蓋却。閑無對（禾山代云。爭得到遮裏）始禮拜問。如何是末山。然云。不露頂。閑云。如何是末山主。然云。非男女相。閑乃喝云。何不變去。然云。不是神不是鬼變箇什麼。閑於是服膺作園頭三載。僧到參。然云。太襤縷生。僧云。雖然如此且是師子兒。然云。既是師子兒為什麼被文殊騎。僧無對。僧問。如何是古佛心。然云。世界傾壞。增云。世界為什麼傾壞。然云。寧無我身。

> The nun Liaoran of Mount Moshan in Yunzhou. When Upādhyāya Xian of Guanxi was traveling on pilgrimage, upon arriving at the mountain he first said, "If it accords, I will stay; otherwise, I will overturn the meditation seat." He then entered the hall.  
> Liaoran sent an attendant to ask, "Did the sthavira come to tour the mountain, or did you come for the Buddhadharma?"  
> Xian said, "I came for the Buddhadharma."  
> Liaoran then ascended the seat. Xian stepped forward for an interview.  
> Liaoran asked, "Where did the sthavira depart from today?"  
> Xian said, "I departed from the crossroads."  
> Liaoran said, "Why didn't you cover it over?"  
> Xian had no reply. (Heshan spoke in his place: "How could one have reached here?") Only then did he make prostrations, and asked, "What is Moshan (Summit Mountain)?"  
> Liaoran said, "It does not expose its peak."  
> Xian said, "Who is the master of Moshan?"  
> Liaoran said, "It is neither male nor female form."  
> Xian then shouted and said, "Why don't you transform yourself?"  
> Liaoran said, "It is not a spirit and not a ghost; what would it transform into?"  
> Xian thereupon took this to heart and served as the head gardener for three years.  
> A monk came for an interview. Liaoran said, "How excessively ragged!"  
> The monk said, "Even though it is like this, I am nonetheless a lion's whelp."  
> Liaoran said, "Since you are a lion's whelp, why were you ridden by Mañjuśrī?"  
> The monk had no reply.  
> A monk asked, "What is the ancient Buddha's mind?"  
> Liaoran said, "The world collapses and is destroyed."  
> The monk said, "Why does the world collapse and be destroyed?"  
> Liaoran said, "How could there be no self of mine?"
