Great Master Haojian of Xinkai in Baling, Yuezhou, was initially with Yunmen. Yunmen brought up: "Upādhyāya Xuefeng said: 'Open the gate, and Bodhidharma arrives.' What do you think he meant?" The master said, "It bumped into the Upādhyāya's nostrils." Yunmen said, "The Asura King acts out karma, striking Mount Sumeru with a slap, leaping up to the Brahmā heaven to report to Śakra. Why did you go hide yourself in the country of Japan?" The master said, "Better not to harbor such intentions of mind!" Yunmen said, "You said it bumped into them; how about that now?" The master was stopped. Later, a monk asked, "Are the patriarch's intent and the teaching's intent the same or different?" The master said, "When cold, chickens roost in trees; when cold, ducks go into the water." A monk asked, "I do not doubt the three vehicles and twelve divisions of the teachings. What is the affair of our ancestral school?" The master said, "It is not an affair within the patch-robed monk's province." The monk said, "What is the affair within the patch-robed monk's province?" The master said, "Greedily watching the white waves, losing the oar from one's hand." The master was about to leave his whisk to someone. The person asked, "Originally pure, what is the use of the whisk?" The master said, "Since you know it is pure, do not forget it." (Liangshan added separately: "One must also whisk it away.")
