連州寶華和尚。師上堂示眾曰。看天看地。新羅國裏。和南不審。日消萬兩黃金。雖然如是猶是少分。又曰。盡十方世界是箇木羅漢。幡竿頭上道將一句來。又曰。天上龍飛鳳走山間虎嘯猿啼。拈向鼻孔道將一句來。僧問。如何是寶華境。師曰。前頭綠水後面青山。僧曰。不會。師曰。末後一句。師問僧。什麼處來。曰大容來。師曰。大容近日作麼生。曰近來合得一瓮醬。師曰。沙彌將一碗水來與遮僧照影。因有僧問。大容云。天賜六銖披掛。後將何報答我皇恩。大容云。來披三事衲。歸掛六銖衣。師聞之乃曰遮老凍齈。作恁麼語話。大容聞令人傳語云。何似奴緣不斷。師曰。比為拋甎只圖引玉。師見一僧從法堂階下過。師乃敲繩床。僧曰。若是遮箇不請拈出。師喜下地問之並無說處。師乃打師有時戴冠子謂眾曰。若道是俗且身披袈裟。若道是僧又頭戴冠子。大眾無對。

Upādhyāya Baohua of Lianzhou. The Master ascended the hall and instructed the assembly, saying: "Look at heaven, look at earth; inside the kingdom of Silla. Paying respects, inquiring after health; daily consuming ten thousand ounces of yellow gold. Although it is like this, it is still only a small part." He also said: "The worlds of the entire ten directions are a wooden arhat. Speak a phrase atop the banner pole!" He also said: "In heaven dragons fly and phoenixes run; in the mountains tigers roar and apes cry. Bring it to your nostrils and speak a phrase!" A monk asked: "What is the environment of Baohua?" The Master said: "Green water in front, blue mountains behind." The monk said: "I do not understand." The Master said: "The very last phrase." The Master asked a monk: "Where do you come from?" The monk said: "I come from Darong." The Master said: "How has Darong been lately?" The monk said: "Lately he mixed a jar of bean paste." The Master said: "Śrāmaṇera, bring a bowl of water for this monk to look at his reflection." There was a monk who asked Darong: "Heaven has bestowed the six-zhu garment to put on; how will you repay our emperor's benevolence afterwards?" Darong said: "Coming, I wore the three robes; returning, I put on the six-zhu garment." When the Master heard this, he said: "This old frozen snot! Making such remarks!" When Darong heard this, he sent someone with a message saying: "How is that like failing to sever ties of servitude?" The Master said: "It was only throwing a brick in hopes of drawing jade." The Master saw a monk passing below the steps of the Dharma hall. The Master knocked on the corded chair. The monk said: "If it is this, please do not bring it out." The Master, pleased, went down to the ground to question him, but the monk had nothing to say. The Master struck him. Sometimes the Master wore a secular cap and said to the assembly: "If you say I am a layperson, yet I wear a kāṣāya; if you say I am a monk, yet on my head I wear a cap." The assembly had no answer.
