福州龍山智嵩妙空大師。師上堂曰。幸自分明。須作遮箇節目作麼。到遮裏便成節目。便成增語便成塵玷。未有如許多時作麼生。僧問。古佛化導今祖重興。人天輻湊於禪庭。至理若為於開示。師曰。亦不敢孤負大眾。僧曰。恁麼即人天不謬殷勤請頓使凡心作佛心。師曰。仁者作麼生。僧曰。退身。禮拜。隨眾上下。師曰。我識得汝也。

> Master Zhisong Miaokong of Longshan in Fuzhou. The master ascended the hall and said, “It is fortunate that one's self is clear. Why must you make these complications? Coming here, it just becomes complications, added words, and dust-stains. What about before there was so much of this?” A monk asked, “The ancient Buddhas taught and transformed; the present ancestor revives the teaching. Humans and devas converge like spokes at the hub in the Chan courtyard. How is the ultimate principle expounded?” The master said, “I also dare not fail the great assembly.” The monk said, “If so, then humans and devas are not deceived; I earnestly request you to instantly turn the ordinary mind into the Buddha mind.” The master said, “What about you, benevolent one?” The monk said, “Step back, bow, and follow the assembly up and down.” The master said, “I see through you.”
