東京妙慧尼慧光淨智禪師上堂。舉趙州勘婆話。乃曰。趙州舌頭連天。老婆眉光覆地。分明勘破歸來。無限平人瞌睡寶峯照禪師法嗣。

The nun Chan Master Huiguang Jingzhi of Miaohui in the Eastern Capital ascended the hall and cited the story of Zhaozhou examining the old woman. She then said: "Zhaozhou's tongue reached to heaven; the old woman's eyebrow-light covered the earth. Clearly having seen through her, he returned; countless ordinary people were fast asleep." Dharma Heirs of Chan Master Baofeng Zhao.
