松山和尚。一日命龐居士喫茶。居士舉起托子云。人人盡有分。因什麼道不得。師云。只為人人盡有。所以道不得。居士云。阿兄為什麼却道得。師云。不可無言也。居士云。灼然灼然。師便喫茶。居士云。阿兄喫茶何不揖客。師云誰。居士云。龐翁。師云。何須更揖。後丹霞聞舉乃云。若不是松山幾被箇老翁作亂一上。居士聞之。乃令人傳語丹霞云。何不會取舉起托子時。

Upādhyāya Songshan: One day he invited Upāsaka Pang to drink tea. The upāsaka lifted up the saucer and said, "Everyone has a share. Why is it that nobody can speak of it?" The master said, "Precisely because everyone has it, nobody can speak of it." The upāsaka said, "Why, then, can elder brother speak of it?" The master said, "One cannot be without words." The upāsaka said, "Truly so! Truly so!" The master then drank tea. The upāsaka said, "When elder brother drinks tea, why don't you salute your guest?" The master said, "Who?" The upāsaka said, "Old Pang." The master said, "What need is there for another salute?" Later Danxia heard this recounted and said, "If not for Songshan, he would almost have been thrown into confusion by that old man." When the upāsaka heard this, he sent someone to convey a message to Danxia, saying, "Why didn't you grasp the moment when I lifted up the saucer?"
