杭州佛日和尚初遊天台山。嘗曰。如有人奪得我機者即我師矣。尋抵于江西謁雲居膺和尚。作禮而問曰。二龍爭珠誰是得者。雲居曰。卸却業身來相見。對曰。業身已卸。曰珠在什麼處。師無對（同安代云。廻頭即勿交涉）師乃投誠入室。便禮雲居為師。後參夾山。才入門見維那。維那曰。此間不著後生。師曰。某甲暫來禮謁和尚不宿。維那白夾山。夾山許見。未陞階便問。什麼處來。師曰。雲居來。曰即今在什麼處。師曰。在夾山頂上。曰老僧行年在坎五鬼臨身。師乃上階禮拜。夾山又問。闍梨與什麼人為同行。師曰。木上座。曰他何不來相看。師曰。和尚看他有分。曰在什麼處。師曰。在堂中。夾山便共師下到堂中。師遂去取得柱枝擲于夾山面前。夾山曰。莫從天台得來否。師曰。非五嶽之所生。曰莫從須彌山得來否。師曰。月宮亦不逢。曰恁麼即從他人得也。師曰。自己尚是冤家。從人得堪作什麼。曰冷灰裏有一粒豆子爆。喚維那來令安排向明窓下著。師却問。燈籠還解語也無。夾山曰。待燈籠解語即向汝道。至明日夾山入堂問。昨日新到上座在什麼處師出應諾。夾山曰。子未到雲居前在什麼處。對曰。天台國清。夾山曰天台有潺潺之瀑。淥淥之波。謝子遠來。子意如何。師曰。久居巖谷。不掛松蘿。夾山曰。此猶是春意。秋意如何。師良久。夾山曰。看君只是撑船漢。終歸不是弄潮人。一日大普請。維那請師送茶。師曰。某甲為佛法來不為送茶來。維那曰。和尚教上座送茶。曰和尚尊命即得。乃將茶去作務處。搖茶椀作聲。夾山迴顧。師曰。釅茶三五椀。意在钁頭邊。夾山曰。瓶有傾茶意。籃中幾箇甌。師曰。瓶有傾茶意。籃中無一甌。便傾茶行之。時大眾皆舉目。師又問曰。大眾鶴望請師一言。夾山曰。路逢死蛇莫打殺。無底籃子盛將歸。師曰手執夜明符。幾箇知天曉。夾山曰。大眾有人歸去歸去。從此住普請歸院。眾皆仰歎。師後迴淛西住佛日而終。

Upādhyāya Fori of Hangzhou first traveled to Mount Tiantai. He once said, "If anyone can snatch away my dynamic potential, he shall be my teacher." Soon he arrived in Jiangxi to call upon Upādhyāya [Daoying of] Yunju. He bowed and asked, "When two dragons contest for a pearl, who obtains it?" Yunju said, "Strip off your karmic body and come meet me." He replied, "My karmic body is already stripped off." Yunju said, "Where is the pearl?" The master had no reply. (Tong'an substituted: "Turning the head, there is no connection.") The master thereupon submitted sincerely and entered the room, paying homage to Yunju as his teacher. Later he visited Jiashan. Just as he entered the gate, he saw the karmadāna. The karmadāna said, "This place does not keep young fellows." The master said, "I have come briefly to pay respects to the upādhyāya; I will not stay overnight." The karmadāna reported this to Jiashan, and Jiashan permitted the meeting. Before he had ascended the steps, [Jiashan] asked, "Where do you come from?" The master said, "I come from Yunju." [Jiashan] said, "Where are you right now?" The master said, "On top of Mount Jiashan." [Jiashan] said, "The old monk's fortune in the cyclic years is in the Kan trigram; the five ghosts have beset my body." The master then ascended the steps and bowed. Jiashan asked again, "Ācārya, who was your traveling companion?" The master said, "Sthavira Mu (Wood)." [Jiashan] said, "Why did he not come to see me?" The master said, "The upādhyāya is entitled to see him." [Jiashan] said, "Where is he?" The master said, "In the hall." Jiashan then went down to the hall with the master. The master thereupon went, took a staff, and tossed it before Jiashan. Jiashan said, "Did you perhaps obtain it from Tiantai?" The master said, "It was not produced by the Five Peaks." [Jiashan] said, "Did you perhaps obtain it from Mount Sumeru?" The master said, "It is not to be met with even in the Moon Palace." [Jiashan] said, "If so, then you obtained it from another person." The master said, "My own self is already an adversary; what would be the use of obtaining it from another?" [Jiashan] said, "In the cold ashes, a single bean has popped!" He called the karmadāna to come and have it arranged beneath the bright window. The master then asked, "Can the lantern also speak?" Jiashan said, "Wait until the lantern can speak, and I will tell you." The next day, Jiashan entered the hall and asked, "Where is the newly arrived sthavira from yesterday?" The master came forward and responded. Jiashan said, "Before you arrived at Yunju, where were you?" He replied, "At Guoqing on Tiantai." Jiashan said, "Tiantai has gurgling cascades and clear ripples. Thank you for coming from afar. What is your intention?" The master said, "Having long dwelt in crags and valleys, I am not entangled by pine moss." Jiashan said, "This is still the mood of spring. What is the mood of autumn?" The master remained silent for a long time. Jiashan said, "Looking at you, you are merely a boat-poling fellow; in the end you are not one who plays with the tide." One day there was a great communal labor. The karmadāna asked the master to deliver tea. The master said, "I came for the Buddha Dharma, not to deliver tea." The karmadāna said, "The upādhyāya ordered you, sthavira, to deliver tea." [The master] said, "If it is the upādhyāya's venerable command, very well." He then took the tea to the work site, rattling the teacups to make a sound. Jiashan looked back. The master said, "Three or five bowls of strong tea, with an intention beside the hoe." Jiashan said, "The pitcher has the intention of pouring tea; how many cups are in the basket?" The master said, "The pitcher has the intention of pouring tea; in the basket there is not a single cup." He then poured the tea and served it. At that time the great assembly all raised their eyes. The master asked again, "The great assembly is craning their necks; please, Master, give a single word." Jiashan said, "Meeting a dead snake on the road, do not strike it dead; take it home in a bottomless basket." The master said, "Holding the night-illuminating talisman in hand, how many know that day has dawned?" Jiashan said, "Assembly, someone has gone back, gone back!" Thereupon they halted the communal labor and returned to the monastery. The assembly all looked up to him in admiration. Later, the master returned to Zhexi, resided at Fori, and passed away.
