泉州鳳凰山疆禪師。僧問。燈傳鼓嶠。道霸溫陵。不跨石門。請師通信。師曰。若不是今日攔胸撞出。僧曰。恁麼即今日親聞師子吼。他時終作鳳凰兒。師曰。又向遮裏塗污人。問白浪滔天境何人住太虛。師曰。靜夜思堯鼓迴頭聞舜琴。

Chan Master Jiang of Mount Fenghuang in Quanzhou. A monk asked, “The lamp has been transmitted at the peak of Gushan; the Way dominates Wenling. Without stepping past Shimen, please convey your message, Master.” The master said, “Had it not been for today, I would have bumped right into your chest.” The monk said, “If so, then today I personally hear the lion's roar; in the future, I will eventually become a child of the phoenix.” The master said, “Here you are smearing someone again.” A monk asked, “In a realm where white waves surge to the heavens, who abides in the great void?” The master said, “In the quiet night, thinking of Yao’s drum; turning the head, hearing Shun’s zither.”
