晉州興教師普禪師。僧問。盈龍宮溢海藏真詮即不問。如何是教外別傳底法。師曰。眼裏耳裏鼻裏。曰只此便是否。師曰。是什麼。僧咄。師亦咄。問僧。近離什麼處。曰下寨。師曰。還逢著賊麼。曰今日捉下。師曰。放汝三十棒。

Chan Master Xingjiao Shipu of Jinzhou. A monk asked, “Filling the dragon palace and overflowing the ocean treasury—I do not ask about the true exposition. What is the Dharma that is a separate transmission outside the teachings?” The Master said, “In the eyes, in the ears, in the nose.” The monk said, “Is it just this, or not?” The Master said, “What is it?” The monk shouted. The Master also shouted. The Master asked a monk, “Where did you just come from?” The monk said, “Xiazhai.” The Master said, “Did you encounter thieves?” The monk said, “Today I captured one.” The Master said, “I let you off thirty blows.”
