師上堂曰。祖師心印此日全提。去即印住住即印破。只如不去不住。印即是不印即是。眾中還有道得者麼。時有盧陂長老問曰。學人有鐵牛之機。請師不搭印。師曰。慣釣鯨鯢澄巨浸。却嗟蝸步𩥇泥沙。盧陂擬進語。師以拂子驀口打乃曰。記得前語麼。盧陂曰。記得。師曰。試舉看。盧陂欲開口。師又打一拂。上堂謂眾曰。夫參學眼目臨機直須大用見前。莫自拘於小節。設使言前薦得。猶是滯殼迷封。縱然句下精通。未免觸途狂見。觀汝諸人。從前依他學解迷昧兩蹊。而今與汝一齊掃却。箇箇作大師子兒。吒呀地哮吼一聲壁立千仞。誰敢正眼覷著。若覷著即瞎却渠眼。問師唱誰家曲。宗風嗣阿誰。師曰。超然逈出威音外。翹足徒勞讚底沙。

The Master entered the hall and said: "The ancestral master's mind-seal is today fully presented. Going, it seals and stays; staying, it seals and breaks. Just as in neither going nor staying: is sealing it, or is not-sealing it? Is there anyone in the assembly who can say a word?" At that time, Elder Lubei asked: "This student has the functioning of an iron ox; I invite the Master not to apply the seal." The Master said: "Accustomed to angling for whales and clearing the great ocean, / I sigh instead at the snail's crawl floundering in mud and sand." Lubei was about to advance a word, but the Master struck him right across the mouth with his whisk and said: "Do you remember the previous words?" Lubei said: "I remember." The Master said: "Try to cite them and let me see." Lubei was about to open his mouth when the Master struck him again with the whisk. Entering the hall, he addressed the assembly, saying: "Those who train and study with clear eyes, when meeting the moment, must have the great function appear before them right away; do not bind yourselves with small details. Even if you understand before words are spoken, that is still remaining stuck in the shell and confused by the envelope. Even if you are thoroughly versed beneath the phrases, you cannot avoid mad views when confronting situations. Looking at all of you, from former times you have relied on other people's intellectual understanding, blinded by dualistic paths. Now, I will sweep them all away for you at once, so that each of you becomes a great lion cub: letting out a roaring growl, standing steep as a wall of a thousand fathoms! Who would dare to look at you with the correct eye? If anyone looks at you, it will blind their eyes!" A monk asked: "Whose tune does the Master sing? Whose tradition of the school do you succeed to?" The Master said: "Transcending far beyond Bhīṣmagarjitasvararāja; / standing on one foot in vain, praising Tiṣya."
