明州香山蘊良禪師。僧問。如何是透法身句。師曰。剎竿頭上舞三臺。曰如何是接初機句。師曰。上大人。曰如何是末後句。師曰。雙林樹下。問如何是學人轉身處。師曰。磨坊裏。上堂良久。呵呵大笑曰。笑箇甚麼。笑他鴻鵠翀天飛。烏龜水底逐魚兒。三箇老婆六隻嬭。金剛背上爛如泥。阿呵呵知不知。東村陳大耆。參。

Chan Master Yunliang of Xiangshan in Mingzhou. A monk asked, "What is the phrase that penetrates the Dharma body?"
The Master said, "Dancing the Santai atop the temple flagpole."
He asked, "What is the phrase that receives beginners?"
The Master said, "'Shang da ren.'"
He asked, "What is the final phrase?"
The Master said, "Beneath the twin trees."
He asked, "What is the student's place of turning the body?"
The Master said, "In the millhouse."

He ascended the hall, paused for a long while, and then laughed aloud with a "He! He!", saying: "What am I laughing at? I laugh at the great swan flying up into the sky; the tortoise at the bottom of the water chasing fish. Three old women with six breasts; on the back of the vajra[-bearer], rotten like mud. Ah, he! He! Do you know or not? Elder Chen of the eastern village. Practice!"
