20.91

陝府龍谿和尚。上堂謂眾曰。直饒說似箇無縫塔。也不免老僧下一箇橛。作麼生免得下橛。眾無對。師自代曰。下去。僧問。如何是無縫塔。師曰。百寶莊嚴今已了。四門開豁已多時。

Upādhyāya Longxi of Shan Prefecture ascended the hall and addressed the assembly, saying: "Even if you could speak of it as a seamless stūpa, you would still not escape this old monk driving in a stake. How will you avoid having a stake driven in?" The assembly made no reply. The master answered on their behalf, saying: "Step down!" A monk asked: "What is the seamless stūpa?" The master said: "Adorned with the hundred treasures, it is now completed; its four gates wide open, long since indeed."
