涿州紙衣和尚初問臨濟。如何是奪人不奪境。臨濟曰。春煦發生鋪地錦。嬰兒垂髮白如絲。師曰。如何是奪境不奪人。曰王令已行天下遍。將軍塞外絕烟塵師曰。如何是人境俱不奪。曰王登寶殿野老謳歌。師曰。如何是人境俱奪。曰并汾絕信獨處一方。師於言下領旨。深入三玄三要四句之門。頗資化道。

The Paper-Robe Upādhyāya of Zhuozhou initially asked Linji, "What is taking away the person but not taking away the environment?" Linji said, "The warmth of spring brings life, spreading a brocade across the earth; the infant's hanging hair is as white as silk." The Master asked, "What is taking away the environment but not taking away the person?" Linji said, "The king's decree has already spread throughout the world; beyond the frontier, the general clears away smoke and dust." The Master asked, "What is taking away neither person nor environment?" Linji said, "The king ascends the jeweled palace; the rustic elders sing songs." The Master asked, "What is taking away both person and environment?" Linji said, "All news is cut off from Bing and Fen; dwelling solitary in one quarter." The Master grasped the meaning right at these words. He entered deeply into the gate of the three mysteries, three essentials, and four propositions, greatly assisting in the path of transformation.
