Upādhyāya Shao of Shunfeng in Shaozhou. He initially asked Upādhyāya Yunmen, "Why does the precious moon divide its radiance here?" Yunmen said, "A thousand beams shine together." The master said, "I thank the Upādhyāya for pointing it out." Yunmen said, "What do you see?" A Monk Rector entered the master's abbot's quarters and said, "How can the abbot's quarters be so dark?" The master said, "A rat's hole." The Monk Rector said, "It would be good to let a cat in." The master said, "Try letting one in and see." The Monk Rector had no reply. The master clapped his hands and laughed. While the master was crossing a river with an elder master, the master took out coins to pay the ferryman. The elder master said, "If you have copper pieces in your pouch..." The master bowed with hands clasped and said, "Elder, do not laugh."
