安吉州廣法院源禪師。僧問。如何是祖師西來意。師曰。磚頭瓦片。問鬧中取靜時如何。師曰。冤不可結。問如何是正法眼。師曰。眉毛下。曰便與麼會時如何。師曰。瞳兒笑點頭。問如何是向上事。師曰。日月星辰。曰如何是向下事。師曰。地獄鑊湯。問萬里無雲時如何。師曰。猢猻忍餓。曰乞師拯濟。師曰。甚麼火色。問古人拈槌舉拂意旨如何。師曰。白日無閑人。曰如何承當。師曰。如風過耳。問握劍當胸時如何。師曰。老鴉成隊。曰正是和尚見處。師曰。蛇穿鼻孔。僧拂袖便出。師曰。大眾相逢。問從上諸聖向甚麼處行履。師曰。十字街頭。曰與麼則敗缺也。師曰。知爾不到這田地。曰到後如何。師曰。家常茶飯。問祖意教意是同是別。師曰。乾薑附子。曰與麼則不同也。師曰。氷片雪團。上堂。春雨微微簷頭水滴。聞聲不悟歸堂面壁。上堂。若論大道直教杼山無開口處。爾諸人試開口看。僧便問。如何是大道。師曰。擔不起。曰為甚麼擔不起。師曰。大道。上堂。若論此事切莫道著。道著即頭角生。有僧出曰。頭角生也。師曰。禍事。曰某甲罪過。師曰龍頭蛇尾。伏惟珍重。師元豐八年十月十二晚忽書偈曰。雪鬢霜髭九九年。半肩毳衲盡諸緣。廓然笑指浮雲散。玉兔流光照大千。擲筆而寂。
