隨州大洪老衲祖證禪師。潭州潘氏子。上堂。萬象之中獨露身。如何說箇獨露底道理。竪起拂子曰。到江吳地盡。隔岸越山多。僧問。雲門問僧。光明寂照遍河沙。豈不是張拙秀才語。僧云是。門云。話墮也。未審那裏是這僧話墮處。師曰。鮎魚上竹竿。問離却言句請師直指。師竪拂子。僧曰。還有向上事也無。師曰有。曰如何是向上事。師曰。速禮三拜。

He held up his whisk and said, 'Reaching the river, the land of Wu ends; / Beyond the bank, the Yue mountains abound.' / A monk asked, 'Yunmen asked a monk, "Luminous light serenely illuminates sands of rivers—is this not the phrase of Scholar Zhang Zhuo?" The monk said, "It is." Yunmen said, "Your words have fallen into error." I wonder where this monk's words fell into error?' The Master said, 'A catfish climbing a bamboo pole.' / A monk asked, 'Departing from words and phrases, please point directly, Master.' The Master raised his whisk. The monk said, 'Is there still a transcendent affair?' The Master said, 'There is.' The monk said, 'What is the transcendent affair?' The Master said, 'Quickly make three prostrations.'
