洛京柏谷和尚僧問。普滋法雨時如何。師曰。有道傳天位不汲鳳凰池。問九旬禁足三月事如何。師曰。不墜蠟人機。

Upādhyāya Baigu of the Western Capital, Luoyang. A monk asked, 'How is it when the Dharma rain moistens everywhere?' The master said, 'One who has the Dao transmits the heavenly throne, not drawing water from the Phoenix Pool.' He asked, 'What about the matter of the three months of the ninety-day retreat?' The master said, 'Not falling into the mechanism of a wax figure.'
