鄂州無等禪師者。尉氏人也。姓李氏。初出家於龔公山。參禮馬大師密受心要。後住隨州土門。嘗謁州牧王常侍者。師退將出門。王後呼之云和尚。師迴顧王敲柱三下。師以手作圓相。復三撥之便行。師後住武昌大寂寺。一日大眾晚參。師見人人上來。師前道不審。乃謂眾曰。大眾適來聲向什麼處去也。有一僧竪起指頭。師云。珍重。其僧至來朝上參次。師乃轉身面壁而臥。佯作呻吟聲云。老僧三兩日來不多安樂。大德身邊有什麼藥物。與老僧些少。僧以手拍淨缾云。遮箇淨缾什麼處得來。師云。遮箇是老僧底。大德底在什麼處。僧云。亦是和尚底。亦是某甲底。唐大和四年十月示滅壽八十二。

> Chan Master Wudeng of Ezhou was a native of Weishi. His secular surname was Li. He first left the household at Mount Gonggong, paid homage to Master Ma, and secretly received the mind essential. Later he resided at Tumen in Suizhou. He once paid a visit to the prefect, Attendant Wang. As the Master was retiring and about to leave the gate, Wang called after him: "Venerable!" The Master looked back, and Wang struck a pillar three times. The Master made a circular figure with his hand, brushed it three times, and then walked away.  
> The Master later resided at Daji Monastery in Wuchang. One day, during the evening assembly, the Master saw everyone coming up before him to inquire about his well-being. He then said to the assembly: "Assembly, where has that sound just now gone?"  
> A monk held up a finger.  
> The Master said: "Take care!"  
> When that monk came up for consultation the following morning, the Master turned around, lay facing the wall, and feigned groaning, saying: "For the past two or three days this old monk has not been very well. Does the Great Virtuous One have any medicine at hand to give this old monk a little?"  
> The monk patted a clean water-vase with his hand and said: "Where did this clean vase come from?"  
> The Master said: "This belongs to this old monk. Where is the Great Virtuous One's?"  
> The monk said: "It also belongs to the Venerable; it also belongs to me."  
> In the tenth month of the fourth year of the Dahe era of the Tang, he displayed cessation. His age was eighty-two.
