福州閩山令含禪師初住永福院。上堂曰。還恩恩滿賽願願圓。便歸方丈。僧問。既到妙峯頂誰人為伴侶。師曰到。僧曰。什麼人為伴侶。師曰。喫茶去。問明明不會乞師指示。師曰。指示且置。作麼生是爾明明底事。僧曰。學人不會再乞師指示。師曰。七棒十三。

Zen Master Linghan of Minshan in Fuzhou first resided at Yongfu Monastery. He entered the hall and said, "Repaying kindness, kindness is fulfilled; fulfilling a vow, the vow is complete." He then returned to the abbot's quarters. A monk asked, "Having arrived at the summit of the Marvelous Peak, who is your companion?" The master said, "Arrived." The monk said, "Who is the companion?" The master said, "Go drink tea." [A monk] asked, "Clearly I do not understand; I beg the master for instruction." The master said, "Set instruction aside for now. What is your clear matter?" The monk said, "This student does not understand; I beg the master again for instruction." The master said, "Seven staff strikes are thirteen."
