隋城山護國知遠演化大師（第二世住）僧問。舉子入門時如何。師曰。緣情體物是作麼生。問乾坤休駐意宇宙不留心時如何。師曰。總是戰爭收拾得。却因歌舞破除休。問直截根源佛所印。摘葉尋枝我不能。意旨如何。師曰。罷攀雲樹三秋果。休戀碧潭孤月輪。

> Great Master Zhiyuan Yanhua of Huguo on Mount Suicheng (dwelling as the second generation). A monk asked, 'How is it when an examination candidate enters the gate?' The master said, 'Giving voice to feelings and depicting things—what is that like?' \[The monk\] asked, 'How is it when heaven and earth do not detain the mind, and the universe holds no thought?' The master said, 'All is gathered through battle, yet dissolved through song and dance.' \[The monk\] asked, '"Directly cutting through to the root source is what the Buddhas seal; picking leaves and seeking branches I cannot do." What is the meaning?' The master said, 'Cease grasping for the three-autumn fruit among cloudy trees; stop longing for the solitary moon wheel in the blue pool.'
