福州康山契穩法寶大師。初開堂有僧問。威音王已後次第相承。未審師今一會法嗣何方。師曰。象骨舉手龍谿點頭。問圓明湛寂非師旨。學人因底却不明。師曰。辨得未。僧曰。恁麼即識性無根去也。師曰。隔靴搔癢。

> Great Master Fabao, Qiwen of Mount Kang in Fuzhou. When he first opened the hall, a monk asked, "Since the King of Majestic Voice, there has been successive transmission. I do not know whose Dharma this assembly of the Master inherits." The Master said, "Xianggu raises his hand; Longxi nods his head." \[The monk\] asked, "Complete brightness, profound and still, is not the Master's teaching; why is the student yet unenlightened to the foundation?" The Master said, "Have you distinguished it yet?" The monk said, "If that is so, then the conscious nature has no root." The Master said, "Scratching an itch from outside the boot."
