相州天平山從漪禪師。有僧問。如何得出三界。師曰。將三界來與汝出。僧問。如何是和尚家風。師曰。顯露地。問如何是佛。師曰。不指天地。曰為什麼不指天地。師曰。唯我獨尊。問如何是天平。師曰。八凹九凸。問洞深杳杳清谿水飲者如何不升墜。師曰。更夢見什麼。問大眾雲集合譚何事。師曰。香煙起處森羅見。

Chan Master Congyi of Mount Tianping in Xiangzhou. A monk asked, "How does one get out of the three realms?" The Master said, "Bring the three realms here and I will let you out." A monk asked, "What is the Upādhyāya's house style?" The Master said, "The exposed ground." [A monk] asked, "What is the Buddha?" The Master said, "Not pointing to heaven and earth." [The monk] said, "Why not point to heaven and earth?" The Master said, "I alone am the honored one." [A monk] asked, "What is Tianping [the Balance] like?" The Master said, "Eight hollows and nine bumps." [A monk] asked, "The cave is deep and distant; the waters of Qingxi—how is it that those who drink do not rise or fall?" The Master said, "What more do you dream of seeing?" [A monk] asked, "The great assembly gathers like clouds; what matter do they discuss together?" The Master said, "Where the incense smoke rises, the dense array of phenomena is seen."
