泉州睡龍山和尚。僧問。如何是觸目菩提。師以杖趁之。僧乃走。師曰。住住向後遇作家舉看。師上堂舉拄杖云。三十年住山得此拄杖氣力。時有僧問。和尚得他什麼氣力。師曰。過谿過嶺東拄西拄(招慶聞云。我不恁麼道。僧問。和尚作麼生道。招慶以杖下地拄行)。

The Upādhyāya of Mount Shuilong in Quanzhou: A monk asked, "What is bodhi right before the eyes?" The Master chased him with his staff. The monk ran. The Master said, "Stop! Stop! Later, when you meet an adept, bring it up and see." The Master ascended the hall, held up his staff, and said, "Dwelling on the mountain for thirty years, I have obtained strength from this staff." At that time a monk asked, "What strength did the Upādhyāya obtain from it?" The Master said, "Crossing streams and crossing mountain ranges, leaning east and leaning west." (When Zhaoqing heard this, he said, "I would not speak like that." A monk asked, "How would the Upādhyāya speak?" Zhaoqing put his staff to the ground and walked leaning on it.)
