婺州金華山國泰院瑫禪師。上堂曰。不離當處咸是妙明真心。所以玄沙和尚道。會我最後句出世少人知。爭似國泰有末頭一句。僧問。如何是國泰末頭一句。師曰。闍梨上太遲生。問如何是毘盧師。師曰。專甲與老兄是弟子。問達磨來唐土即不問。如何是未來時事。師曰。親遇梁王。問古鏡未磨時如何。師曰。古鏡。僧曰。磨後如何。師曰。古鏡。

> Chan Master Tao of Guotai Monastery on Mount Jinhua in Wuzhou ascended the hall and said, "Not departing from the immediate place, all is the wondrously bright true mind. Therefore Upādhyāya Xuansha said, 'Few people in the world know how to understand my final phrase.' How can that compare to Guotai having a last phrase?" A monk asked, "What is Guotai's last phrase?" The Master said, "Ācārya, you have come up too late!" \[A monk\] asked, "Who is the teacher of Vairocana?" The Master said, "This humble monk and you, elder brother, are his disciples." \[A monk\] asked, "I do not ask about Bodhidharma coming to the land of Tang; what was the matter before he came?" The Master said, "Personally meeting the King of Liang." \[A monk\] asked, "How was it before the ancient mirror was polished?" The Master said, "An ancient mirror." The monk said, "How about after it was polished?" The Master said, "An ancient mirror."
