越州雲門山拯迷寺海晏禪師。僧問。如何是衲衣下事。師曰。如人齩硬石頭。問如何是古寺一爐香。師曰。廣大勿人嗅。曰嗅者如何。師曰。六根俱不到。問久嚮拯迷。到來為什麼不見拯迷。師曰。闍梨不識拯迷。

Chan Master Haiyan of Zhengmi Temple on Mount Yunmen in Yuezhou. A monk asked, "What is the matter under the patch-robe?" The Master said, "Like a person biting a hard rock." [The monk] asked, "What is an incense burner in an ancient temple?" The Master said, "Broad and vast, with no one to smell it." [The monk] said, "What about one who smells it?" The Master said, "The six sense organs all do not reach it." [The monk] asked, "I have long yearned for Zhengmi (Rescuing the Deluded); having arrived, why do I not see Zhengmi?" The Master said, "The ācārya does not recognize Zhengmi."
