潭州嶽麓山和尚師上堂良久。謂眾曰。昔日毘盧今朝嶽麓珍重。問如何是聲色外句。師曰。猿啼鳥叫。問師唱誰家曲宗風嗣阿誰。師曰。五音六律。問截舌之句請師舉揚。師曰。日能熱月能涼。

The Upādhyāya of Mount Yuelu in Changsha. The Master went up to the hall, and after a good while he said to the assembly, "Vairocana in the past, Yuelu today. Take care." [A monk] asked, "What is the phrase beyond sound and form?" The Master said, "Apes cry, birds call." [The monk] asked, "Whose song does the Master sing? Whose tradition of the school do you inherit?" The Master said, "The five notes and the six temperaments." [The monk] asked, "I invite the Master to hold forth on the tongue-cutting phrase." The Master said, "The sun can heat; the moon can cool."
