台州涌泉景欣禪師泉州僊遊人也。本白雲山受業。得石霜開示而止丹丘涌泉之蘭若。一日師不披袈裟喫飯。有僧問莫成俗否。師曰。即今豈是僧耶有彊德二禪客到。於路次見師騎牛。不識師乃曰。蹄角甚分明。爭奈騎者不識。師驟牛而去。二禪客憩於樹下煎茶。師迴下牛近前不審與坐喫茶。師問曰。二禪客近離什麼處。曰離那邊。師曰。那邊事作麼生。彼提起茶盞。師曰。此猶是遮邊。那邊事作麼生。二人無對。師曰。莫道騎者不識好。

> Chan Master Jingxin of Yongquan in Taizhou was a native of Xianyou in Quanzhou. He originally undertook his training at Mount Baiyun. Having received instruction from Shishuang, he settled at the hermitage of Yongquan in Danqiu. One day, the master was eating without wearing his kāṣāya. A monk asked, "Are you not becoming a layman?" The master said, "Right now, am I a monk?" The two Chan travelers Qiang and De arrived. On the road they saw the master riding an ox; not recognizing the master, \[one\] said, "The hooves and horns are very clear, but what can be done if the rider does not know?" The master urged his ox on and left. The two Chan travelers rested under a tree and boiled tea. The master turned back, dismounted the ox, approached, offered greetings, and sat with them to drink tea. The master asked, "Where have the two Chan travelers recently departed from?" They said, "Departed from that side." The master said, "What about the matter on that side?" One of them lifted up his teacup. The master said, "This is still this side; what about the matter on that side?" The two had no reply. The master said, "Do not say the rider does not know!"
