泰州廣福微菴道勤禪師。本郡俞氏子。上堂舉。僧問同安。如何是和尚家風。同安曰。金雞抱子歸霄漢。玉兔懷胎入紫微。曰忽遇客來將何秖待。同安曰。金果早朝猿摘去。玉華晚後鳳銜來。師曰。廣福即不然。有問如何是和尚家風。秖向他道。翠竹叢邊歌欵乃。碧岩深處臥煙蘿。忽遇客來將何秖待。沒底籃兒盛皓月。無心盌子貯清風。

Chan Master Wei'an Daoqin of Guangfu in Taizhou was a son of the Yu family of that prefecture. Ascending the hall, he brought up: 'A monk asked Tong'an: "What is the Upādhyāya's house style?" Tong'an said: "The golden rooster cradles its chick and returns to the firmament; the jade rabbit conceives and enters the Purple Tenuity." The monk said: "If a guest suddenly arrives, how do you receive him?" Tong'an said: "Golden fruit picked by monkeys in the morning court; jade blossoms brought in the phoenix's beak after dusk." The Master said: 'Guangfu would not do it like that. If someone asks, "What is the Upādhyāya's house style?", I would merely say to him: "Singing the boatman's song by the thicket of emerald bamboo; lying amid misty vines deep in the green crags." "If a guest suddenly arrives, how do you receive him?" "A bottomless basket holding the bright moon; a mindless bowl storing the pure breeze."'
