平江府南峯雲辯禪師。本郡人。依閩之瑞峯章得度。旋里謁穹窿圓。忽有得遂通所見。圓曰。子雖得入未至當也。切宜著鞭。乃辭扣諸席。後參圓悟。值入室纔踵門。悟曰。看脚下。師打露柱一下。悟曰。何不著實道取一句。師曰。師若搖頭弟子擺尾。悟曰。爾試擺尾看。師翻筋斗而出。悟大笑。由是知名。住後僧問。如何是奪人不奪境。師曰。霸主到烏江。曰如何是奪境不奪人。師曰。築壇拜將。曰如何是人境兩俱奪。師曰。萬里山河獲太平。曰如何是人境俱不奪。師曰。龍吟霧起虎嘯風生。曰向上還有事也無。師曰。當面蹉過。曰真箇作家。師曰。白日鬼迷人。一日入城與道俗行至十郎巷。有問。巷在這裏十郎在甚處。師奮臂曰。隨我來。

Chan Master Nanfeng Yunbian of Pingjiang Prefecture was a native of this prefecture. He was ordained under Ruifeng Zhang of Min. Returning to his home region, he visited Qionglong Yuan. Suddenly having an insight, he communicated what he had seen. Yuan said, "Though you have gained entry, you have not yet reached what is right. You must apply the whip with urgency." Thereupon he took his leave to seek out various assemblies. Later, he called upon Yuanwu. Finding him holding interviews, no sooner had he crossed the threshold than Yuanwu said, "Look beneath your feet!" The Master struck the exposed pillar once. Yuanwu said, "Why not say a solid word?" The Master said, "If the Master shakes his head, the disciple wags his tail." Yuanwu said, "You, try wagging your tail and let me see." The Master turned a somersault and walked out. Yuanwu laughed heartily. From this he became famous. After assuming an abbacy, a monk asked, "What is taking away the person but not taking away the environment?" The Master said, "The Hegemon reaches the Wu River." The monk asked, "What is taking away the environment but not taking away the person?" The Master said, "Building an altar to appoint the general." The monk asked, "What is taking away both person and environment?" The Master said, "Ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers attain peace." The monk asked, "What is taking away neither person nor environment?" The Master said, "The dragon roars and mists rise; the tiger whistles and the wind is born." The monk asked, "Is there still anything beyond?" The Master said, "Missed right before your face." The monk said, "Truly an adept!" The Master said, "In broad daylight a ghost bewilders someone." One day, entering the city, he was walking with monks and laypeople into Shilang Lane. Someone asked, "The lane is here; where is the Tenth Son (Shilang)?" The Master flung his arms and said, "Follow me!"
