明州天童山咸啟禪師(先住蘇州寶華山)僧問。如何是本無物。師曰。石潤無含玉鑛異自生金。伏龍山和尚來。師問。什麼處來。曰伏龍來。師曰。還伏得龍麼。曰不曾伏遮畜生。師曰。喫茶去。簡大德問。學人卓卓上來請師的的。師曰。我遮裏一屙便了。有什麼卓卓的的。曰和尚恁麼對話更買草鞋行脚好。師曰。近前來。簡近前。師曰。只如老僧恁麼對。過在什麼處。簡無對。師便打(十一卷又收在徑山鑒宗下何也)。

Chan Master Xianqi of Mount Tiantong in Mingzhou (who previously resided at Mount Baohua in Suzhou). A monk asked: 'What is "originally not a single thing"?' The master said: 'Moist jade within stone is not concealed; an extraordinary ore naturally produces gold.' The upādhyāya of Mount Fulong came. The master asked: 'Where do you come from?' He said: 'I come from Fulong [Subduing the Dragon].' The master said: 'Have you subdued the dragon yet?' He said: 'I have never subdued this beast.' The master said: 'Go drink tea.' The Great Worthy Jian asked: 'The student has come up distinctly; I ask the master to be explicit.' The master said: 'Here with me, one defecation and it is all over. What is there that is distinct and explicit?' Jian said: 'With the upādhyāya answering like this, it would be better to buy more straw sandals and go on pilgrimage.' The master said: 'Come forward.' Jian came forward. The master said: 'Take this old monk answering like this: where is the fault?' Jian had no answer. The master then struck him. (In fascicle eleven this is also recorded under Jianzong of Jingshan. Why?)
