洞山道全禪師（第二世住亦云中洞山）初問洞山价和尚。如何是出離之要。洞山曰。闍梨足下煙生。師當下契悟。更不他遊（雲居膺進語云。終不敢孤負和尚。足下煙生。洞山云。步步玄者即是功到）暨价和尚圓寂。眾請踵迹住持。海眾悅服玄風不墜。僧問。佛入王宮豈不是大聖再來。師曰。護明不下生。僧曰。既是大聖再來。何更六年苦行。師曰。幻人呈幻事。曰非幻者如何。師曰。王宮覓不得。問清淨行者不入涅槃。破戒比丘不入地獄如何。師曰。度盡無遺影還他越涅槃。問極目千里是什麼風範。師曰。是闍梨風範。曰未審和尚風範如何。師曰。不布婆娑眼。

> Chan Master Dongshan Daoquan (who resided for the second generation, also called Central Dongshan) first asked Upādhyāya Dongshan Liangjie, "What is the essential point of deliverance?" Dongshan said, "Smoke rises beneath the ācārya's feet." The Master was immediately awakened and traveled nowhere else. (Yunju Daoying came forward and said, "I would never dare fail the upādhyāya; smoke rises beneath my feet." Dongshan said, "One whose every step is mysterious has reached accomplishment.") When Upādhyāya Liangjie passed away, the assembly requested him to follow in his footsteps and serve as abbot. The vast assembly was pleased and convinced, and the profound style did not decline. A monk asked, "When the Buddha entered the royal palace, was that not the Great Sage coming again?" The Master said, "Prabhāpāla does not descend to be born." The monk said, "Since he was the Great Sage coming again, why did he undergo six years of austerities?" The Master said, "An illusory person displays illusory affairs." The monk said, "How about one who is not illusory?" The Master said, "He cannot be found in the royal palace." A monk asked, "'A pure practitioner does not enter nirvāṇa; a precept-breaking bhikṣu does not enter hell'—how is this?" The Master said, "When all are ferried across with no remaining trace, allow him to transcend nirvāṇa." A monk asked, "Gazing as far as the eye can see for a thousand li—what kind of style is that?" The Master said, "It is the ācārya's style." The monk said, "I wonder, what is the upādhyāya's style?" The Master said, "I do not cast wandering eyes."
