平江府慧日默菴興道禪師上堂。同雲欲雪未雪。愛日似暉不暉。寒雀啾啾鬧籬落。朔風冽冽舞簾帷。要會韶陽親切句。今朝覿面為提撕。卓拄杖下座。

Chan Master Mo'an Xingdao of Huiri in Pingjiang Prefecture ascended the hall: 'Uniform clouds threaten snow yet it does not snow; the welcome sun resembles brightness yet is not bright. Cold sparrows chirp noisily by the hedge; the north wind blows chill, dancing through blinds and curtains. If you wish to understand the intimate phrases of Shaoyang, this morning face-to-face I shall raise them for your attention.' He struck his staff and descended from the seat.
