太傅高世則居士。字仲貽號無功。初參芙蓉求指心要。蓉令去其所重扣己而參。一日忽造微密。呈偈曰。懸崖撒手任縱橫。大地虛空自坦平。照壑輝巖不借月。菴頭別有一簾明。

Grand Tutor Upāsaka Gao Shize, courtesy name Zhongyi, style name Wugong, initially studied with Furong, seeking instruction in the essentials of the mind. Furong instructed him to cast aside what he held dear and investigate by knocking at his own self. One day, he suddenly attained the subtle and secret. He presented a verse saying:
'Letting go on the precipice, I act freely in all directions;
The great earth and empty space are naturally level and plain.
Illuminating valleys and shining on cliffs, it borrows not the moon;
Above the hermitage, another screen hangs brightly.'
