越州蕭山縣漁浦開善寺義圓禪師。僧問。一年去一年來。方便門中請師開。師曰。分明記取。曰恁麼即昔時師子吼今日象王迴。師曰。且喜勿交涉。

Chan Master Yiyuan of Kaishan Temple at Yupu in Xiaoshan County, Yuezhou. A monk asked, "One year departs, one year arrives; from within the gate of skillful means, we request the master to open it." The master said, "Remember it distinctly." The monk said, "If so, then the lion's roar of former days is the turning of the elephant king today." The master said, "Fortunately, there is no concern."
