福州大普山玄通禪師福州福唐人也。受業於兜率山。師事雪峯經數稔。受心法止于大普焉。僧問。驪龍頷下珠如何取得。師乃拊掌瞬視。問方便以前事如何。師托出其僧。問如何是祖師西來意。師曰。咬骨頭漢出去。問撥塵見佛時如何。師曰。脫枷來商量。問急急相投請師接。師曰。鈍漢。

Chan Master Xuantong of Mount Dapu in Fuzhou was a native of Futang in Fuzhou. He received his training at Mount Tuṣita. He served Xuefeng as master for several years, received the mind-Dharma, and stayed at Dapu. A monk asked, 'How does one obtain the pearl beneath the black dragon's chin?' The Master clapped his hands and winked. A monk asked, 'What was the matter before skillful means?' The Master pushed the monk out. A monk asked, 'What is the ancestral master's meaning in coming from the West?' The Master said, 'Bone-gnawing fellow, get out!' A monk asked, 'How is it when one clears away the dust to see the Buddha?' The Master said, 'Take off your cangue and come confer.' A monk asked, 'Urgent and in earnest I turn to you; please receive me, Master.' The Master said, 'Dull fellow!'
