潭州雲蓋守智禪師劍州陳氏子。遊方至豫章大寧。時法昌遇禪師韜藏西山。師聞其飽參即之。昌問曰。汝何所來。師曰。大寧。又問。三門夜來倒汝知麼。師愕然曰。不知。昌曰。吳中石佛大有人不曾得見師惘然即展拜。昌使謁翠岩真禪師。雖久之無省。且不舍寸陰。及謁黃龍於積翠始盡所疑。後首眾石霜遂開法。道吾徙雲蓋。僧問。有一無絃琴。不是世間木。今朝負上來。請師彈一曲。師拊膝一下。僧云。金風颯颯和清韻。請師方便再垂音。師曰。陝府出鐵牛。上堂。緊鞘離水靴。踏破湖湘月。手把鐵蒺藜。打碎龍虎穴。翻身倒上樹。始見無生滅。劫笑老瞿曇。彈指超彌勒。上堂。昨日高山看釣魚。步行騎馬失却驢。有人拾得駱駝去。重賞千金一也無。若向這裏薦得不著還草鞋錢。上堂舉。趙州問僧。向甚麼處去。曰摘茶去。州曰閑。師曰。道著不著何處摸索。背後龍鱗面前驢脚。翻身筋斗孤雲野鶴。阿呵呵。示眾。不離當處常湛然。覓即知君不可見。雖然先德恁麼道。且作箇模子搭却。若也出不得秖抱得古人底。若也出得方有少分相應。雲蓋則不然。騎駿馬繞須彌。過山尋蟻跡。能有幾人知。師居院之東堂。政和辛卯死心謝事黃龍。由湖南入山奉覲日已夕矣。侍僧通謁。師曳履且行且語曰。將燭來看其面目。何似生而致名喧宇宙。死心亦絕叫把近前來。我要照是真師叔是假師叔。師即當胸敺一拳。死心曰。却是真箇遂作禮。賓主相得歡甚。及死心復領黃龍。至政和甲午示寂。時師住開福得訃上堂。法門不幸法幢摧。五蘊山中化作灰。昨夜泥牛通一線。黃龍從此入輪迴。

> Chan Master Shouzhi of Yugai in Tanzhou was a son of the Chen clan of Jianzhou. While traveling on pilgrimage, he reached Daning in Yuzhang. At that time, Chan Master Fachang Yu was living in concealment on Mt. Xishan. The Master heard that he had practiced extensively, so he went to him. Fachang asked, "Where do you come from?" The Master said, "Daning." Fachang asked again, "The triple gate collapsed last night; did you know that?" The Master said in surprise, "I did not know." Fachang said, "Many people in Wu have never managed to see the stone Buddha!" The Master was bewildered, and immediately made bows. Fachang sent him to visit Chan Master Zhen of Cuiyan. Although a long time passed without awakening, he did not waste an inch of time. When he visited Huanglong at Jicui, his doubts were entirely resolved. Later, he led the assembly at Shishuang, and subsequently opened the Dharma hall at Daowu, later moving to Yugai. A monk asked, "There is a stringless zither that is not made of worldly wood. Brought up here today, I ask the Master to play a tune." The Master slapped his knee once. The monk said, "The autumn wind whistles, harmonizing with the clear tune. We ask the Master to accommodate us with your sound once more." The Master said, "Shaanfu produces iron oxen." He ascended the hall and said, "Tightly sheath the water-leaving boots; tread upon and shatter the moon over Lake Xiang. Take an iron caltrop in hand, and smash the den of dragons and tigers. Turn the body and climb a tree upside down, only then seeing no arising and ceasing. Aeons laugh at old Gautama; with the snap of a finger, transcend Maitreya." He ascended the hall and said, "Yesterday on a high mountain I watched fishing; walking on foot while riding a horse, I lost the donkey. Someone picked up the camel and left; though heavily rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, not a single one was found. If you can realize it here, you need not pay back the cost of your straw sandals." He ascended the hall and cited: "Zhaozhou asked a monk, 'Where are you going?' The monk said, 'Going to pick tea.' Zhaozhou said, 'Idle.'" The Master said: / "Saying it hits it, or not hitting it—where will you grope for it? / Dragon scales on the back, donkey hooves in front. / Turning the body with a somersault: a solitary cloud, a wild crane. / Aha!" / He instructed the assembly: "'Without departing from the present place, it is ever tranquil; if you seek it, know that it cannot be seen.' Although the former worthy spoke thus, it was merely fitting a mold. If you cannot step outside it, you merely cling to what belonged to the ancients; only if you can step outside it will there be a small measure of accord. For Yugai it is not so: riding a swift steed around Sumeru, crossing mountains to look for the tracks of an ant—how many people can know this?" The Master was living in the East Hall of the monastery. In the xinmao year of the Zhenghe era, Sixin resigned from his duties at Huanglong, entered the mountains from Hunan, and came to pay his respects when it was already dusk. An attendant monk announced the visit. The Master dragged his slippers, walking and speaking at once, "Bring a candle to see his face, to see what kind of creature he is that his fame resounds throughout the cosmos!" Sixin also shouted out, "Bring it closer! I want to illuminate whether he is my real Dharma uncle or a fake Dharma uncle!" The Master struck him once on the chest with his fist. Sixin said, "It is indeed the real one!" and thereupon bowed. Host and guest hit it off with great joy. Later, when Sixin again took charge of Huanglong, he entered quiescence in the jiawu year of the Zhenghe era. At that time, the Master was residing at Kaifu; upon receiving the obituary, he ascended the hall and said: / "The Dharma gate is unfortunate, the Dharma banner is brought down; / Amidst the mountains of the five aggregates, it turns to ashes. / Last night the mud ox opened a single line; / From now on, Huanglong enters transmigration."
