Supplement to the Brief Collection of Right Origin
Compiled by Dazhen, a Tiantai Successor Monk of Guoqing Monastery
Lineage of Zen Master Nao of Xingshan (Xueqiao and Xin Sun, two people)
Zen Master Yuanfeng Qing of Yongqing Monastery, Wulin
Ascending the Hall: Xuefeng rolls a ball. Daowu dances with a tablet. Showing off cleverness becomes clumsy. Secret Demon's fork. Demon-subduing sword. Voluntarily admitting defeat. Xuansha's tiger. Zihu's dog. Absolutely avoid speaking about them. Speaking about them will cause horns to grow.
Zen Master Dunwen Xiu of Xiangfu Monastery, Quzhou
Ascending the Hall: Presenting directly at the moment, directly at the moment with speed. If you don't understand turning around, you waste a thousand jun of strength. Small gathering: The old master said, 'The gentle breeze comes from the south, a slight coolness arises at the corner of the hall.' The master said, 'Xiangfu is not like that. The north wind is a陣陣寒(zhèn zhèn hán, gust of cold)，the plum blossoms send forth fragrance. If you wait by the stump for a rabbit, you will surely lean against the wall.' Raising his staff, he urged everyone to retreat.
Lineage of Zen Master Minxiu Yi
Zen Master Huanbai Ke of Luohan Monastery, Sichuan
Ascending the Hall: Eighteen, nineteen, mouths growing behind elbows. Gibberish, a tongue leaking. This mountain monk says it's like a beggar at a crossroads, using a penny to buy a drop of oil, and in front of a precious imperial banquet, tapping his chest and ribs, saying, 'How many people can know this kind of taste?' Those with knowledge, hearing this, would not only spit out their rice. Right now, the pine is straight, the thorns are bent, the swan is white, the crow is black, the wind whistles through the branches, the rain breaks the clods, East Ye Mountain is high, Qinxi Stream is cold, each and every one directly reveals constant light, not relying on cultivation or fabrication. Those with eyes see, those with ears hear. Suddenly raising his staff, he said, 'Stop, stop. What is said is good. Take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.'
Lineage of Zen Master Poshan Ming
Zen Master Yian Yinshi of Xingshan Monastery, Guanzhong
A son of the Liao family from Chengdu, Western Shu. Ascending the Hall on Buddha's Birthday: The past is already past. The future is entirely not
算。年年四月八。人人慶佛誕。當日獨稱尊。而今殃害遍。不墮雲門機。瞻仰資無限。大眾既同瞻仰。還見釋迦老子么。豎拂子云。不涉去來今。毫端全體現。
四川百丈敏樹相禪師
上堂。識得一萬事畢。趙州東壁掛葫蘆。道吾舞笏無休歇。諸仁者。若無閑事在心頭。便是人間好時節。

杭州錢塘東明孤雲行鑒禪師
嘉興宋氏子 上堂。十月廿五。切忌莽鹵。一句無私。日輪當午。直下翻身。超佛越祖。堪笑雪峰輥毬。禾山打鼓。大丈夫作用超群。豈肯釘樁搖櫓 解制小參。春朝解制好行腳。世出世間不可著。活潑風流物外游。切莫無繩而自縛。衲僧踐履不尋常。佛祖從來難摸索。脫體無依得自由。大方獨步乾坤廓。師于順治辛丑示寂。塔建東明。
明州育王太白雪禪師
解制上堂。十五日已前。開池不待月。十五日已后。池成月自來。正當十五日。竿木隨身。逢場作戲。處處綠楊堪繫馬。家家有路透長安。
杭州東蓮古風然禪師
嘉興許氏子 上堂。寒云開曉嶂。暖日照虛堂。物物從茲始。照然不覆藏。靈芽抽夙種。枯荄轉微黃。上苑含香花未吐。得沾淑氣競芬芳。暴露泥牛。翻身騰踏。陳年骨董。動地生光。直得璞峰金嶺。
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 算。年年四月八（佛誕日）。人人慶祝佛誕。佛誕當日佛陀獨稱至尊。而今卻災殃禍害遍地。不落入雲門文偃禪師的機鋒，瞻仰佛陀的功德資糧是無限的。各位既然一同瞻仰，還見到釋迦老子（釋迦牟尼佛）嗎？禪師豎起拂塵說，不涉及過去、現在、未來，就在這毫端上全體顯現。
四川百丈敏樹相禪師
上堂說法。認識到這一點就萬事完畢。趙州禪師在東壁掛著葫蘆，道吾禪師舞動手板沒有停歇的時候。各位，如果沒有閑事在心頭，便是人間的好時節。
費隱容禪師法嗣（三人）
杭州錢塘東明孤雲行鑒禪師
嘉興宋氏子。上堂說法。十月二十五，切忌魯莽草率。一句沒有私心的話，就像日輪當午。當下翻身，超越佛和祖師。可笑雪峰義存禪師滾動圓球，禾山無殷禪師敲打鼓。大丈夫的作為超群，怎麼肯像木樁一樣釘在那裡搖櫓呢？解制小參。春天解制正是外出遊方的好時候，世間和出世間都不可執著。活潑風流地在世外遨遊，切莫自己給自己套上枷鎖。雲遊僧的行履不同尋常，佛和祖師從來難以捉摸。脫離形體，無所依賴才能得到自由，才能在大地上獨自邁步，天地廣闊。禪師在順治辛丑年（1661年）圓寂。塔建在東明。
明州育王太白雪禪師
解制上堂說法。十五日以前，開鑿池塘不必等待月亮。十五日以後，池塘建成月亮自然會來。正在十五日這天，竿木隨身，逢場作戲。處處綠楊樹都可拴馬，家家戶戶都有路通往長安。
杭州東蓮古風然禪師
嘉興許氏子。上堂說法。寒冷的雲霧散開顯露出山峰，溫暖的陽光照耀著空曠的殿堂。萬物從此開始復甦，照耀顯現而沒有遮蓋隱藏。靈芽抽生出宿世的種子，枯萎的草根也轉為微黃。上林苑中含苞的花朵尚未吐蕊，沾染了美好的氣息競相散發芬芳。暴露在外的泥牛，翻身騰踏。陳年的古董，震動大地，發出光芒。使得璞玉的山峰和金色的山嶺。
【English Translation】 English version: 'Tis so. Every year on the eighth day of the fourth month (Buddha's Birthday), everyone celebrates the Buddha's birth. On that day, the Buddha alone is revered as the supreme one. But now, calamities and disasters are widespread. Not falling into the trap of Yunmen Wenyan's Zen (Yunmen Wenyan was a famous Zen master), contemplating the merits and resources of the Buddha is limitless. Since everyone is contemplating together, have you seen Shakyamuni Buddha (Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism) himself? The Zen master raised his whisk and said, 'Not involving past, present, or future, the entirety is manifested on the tip of this hair.'
Zen Master Minshu Xiang of Baizhang in Sichuan
Ascending the hall for a Dharma talk: 'Understanding this one thing, everything is finished. Zen Master Zhaozhou hangs a gourd on the east wall, and Dao Wu dances with his tablet without rest. Worthy ones, if there are no idle matters in your mind, then this is a good time in the human realm.'
Dharma heirs of Zen Master Feiyin Rong (three people)
Zen Master Guyun Xingjian of Dongming, Qiantang, Hangzhou
A son of the Song family of Jiaxing. Ascending the hall for a Dharma talk: 'On the twenty-fifth day of the tenth month, be careful not to be rash. A word without selfishness is like the sun at noon. Immediately turn around and surpass the Buddhas and Patriarchs. It is laughable how Zen Master Xuefeng Yicun rolls a ball, and Zen Master Heshan Wu Yin beats a drum. A great man's actions are outstanding; how could he be willing to be nailed like a stake, rocking an oar?' Small Dharma assembly after the summer retreat: 'Spring is a good time to travel after the summer retreat. Do not be attached to either the worldly or the otherworldly. Roam freely and elegantly beyond the world, but do not bind yourself without a rope. The practice of a wandering monk is extraordinary; the Buddhas and Patriarchs have always been difficult to grasp. Free yourself from dependence and gain freedom, and walk alone freely in the vast universe.' The Zen master passed away in the year of Xinchou (1661) during the Shunzhi reign. His pagoda was built in Dongming.
Zen Master Taibai Xue of Yuhuang, Mingzhou
Ascending the hall for a Dharma talk after the summer retreat: 'Before the fifteenth day, digging a pond does not wait for the moon. After the fifteenth day, the moon will come naturally when the pond is completed. On the fifteenth day itself, carry a pole with you and act according to the occasion. Everywhere, green willows are suitable for tethering horses, and every household has a road leading to Chang'an.'
Zen Master Gufeng Ran of Donglian, Hangzhou
A son of the Xu family of Jiaxing. Ascending the hall for a Dharma talk: 'Cold clouds open to reveal the mountain peaks at dawn, and warm sunlight shines on the empty hall. All things begin from this point, shining and not covered or hidden. Spiritual sprouts emerge from past seeds, and withered roots turn yellowish. The fragrant flowers in the imperial garden have not yet bloomed, but they are imbued with auspicious energy and compete to emit fragrance. The mud ox exposed to the elements turns over and leaps. The antique from years past shakes the earth and emits light, making the peaks of uncut jade and the golden ridges.'

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 催促著寒冷的樹木，黃葉飄飄灑灑，鋪滿了地面，像金子一樣。已經停止了啼哭，是誰還在小聲哭泣？分明是狼藉一片的祖師（禪宗開山祖師）之心啊。趕緊薦舉，不要因循拖延。忽然冬天結束，又迎來了春天。師父于康熙丁未年（1727年）示寂。偈語說：『今年六十六，事事都已具足。翻身藏於北斗之中，山青水也綠。』塔建在南溪的右邊。

小參。各處叢林都在打禪七，慧山只打禪三，朝三暮四，暮四朝三。鉗錘（比喻禪宗的教化手段）雖然各有不同，火候必定是一樣的。金剛圈，栗棘蓬，任憑你們諸位吞嚥跳躍。主人公（指人的本性）的額頭上，仔細參詳。用拄杖畫一畫說：『透得過這個爐鞴（比喻鍛鍊人的環境），就允許你們放參。如果透不過，且聽老僧我來指點。』喝一聲。解制。春山覆蓋著白雪，春草萌發新芽，春日溫暖和煦，春風習習吹拂。衲僧（指和尚）的草鞋也癢癢的，只想涉水登山。長老的拄杖搖搖晃晃，簡直是拋磚引玉。去年結制，也是隨著時節而應時。今年解制，早幾天結束又有什麼妨礙呢？佛法猶如水中的月亮，長長短短都是光圓的。有佛的地方不可停留，百草頭上都是祖師的意旨。無佛的地方趕緊走過，家家門前都是通往長安的大路。三千里之外，不得錯舉。墻有風，壁有耳。這樣說來，還是不去的好。無端又打起之乎者也。摘楊花，摘楊花，思量擬議就相隔千里。正在這個時候，且說，天臺山、雁蕩山，可以遊玩嗎？投子山、浮山，可以到達嗎？』良久說：『不要把閑學來的知解，埋沒了祖師的心。』

【English Translation】 English version: Urging the cold trees, yellow leaves flutter and scatter, covering the ground like gold. The crying has stopped, who is still sobbing softly? Clearly, it is the scattered mind of the Patriarch (the founding ancestor of Zen Buddhism). Quickly recommend, do not delay. Suddenly winter ends, and spring arrives again. The master passed away in the Dingwei year of the Kangxi reign (1727). The verse says: 'This year sixty-six, everything is complete. Turning over, I hide in the Big Dipper, the mountains are green and the water is green.' The pagoda is built to the right of Nanxi.

Small assembly. All monasteries are holding Zen weeks, Huishan only holds three-day Zen retreats, 'three in the morning and four in the evening', 'four in the evening and three in the morning'. Although the tongs and hammers (metaphor for Zen teaching methods) are different, the heat must be the same. Vajra circle, chestnut hedgehog, let you all swallow and jump. On the forehead of the protagonist (referring to one's inherent nature), carefully contemplate. He drew a line with his staff and said: 'If you can pass through this furnace (metaphor for the environment that tempers people), you are allowed to end the retreat. If you can't pass through, then listen to this old monk's guidance.' He shouted. End of retreat. Spring mountains covered with snow, spring grass sprouting, spring days warm and harmonious, spring breeze gently blowing. The straw sandals of the monks are also itchy, wanting only to wade through water and climb mountains. The elder's staff swayed, simply throwing a brick to attract jade. Last year's binding was also in accordance with the seasons. This year's release, what harm is there in ending a few days early? The Buddha-dharma is like the moon in the water, long and short, all are round and bright. Where there is Buddha, one must not dwell, on the heads of all grasses is the intention of the Patriarch. Where there is no Buddha, hurry past, every house's door is the road to Chang'an. Beyond three thousand miles, do not make a mistake. The wall has wind, the wall has ears. In that case, it is better not to go. Pointlessly starting with 'zhi hu zhe ye' again. Picking willow catkins, picking willow catkins, thinking and deliberation are separated by a thousand miles. At this very moment, let's say, can Tiantai Mountain and Yandang Mountain be visited? Can Touzi Mountain and Fushan be reached?' After a long silence, he said: 'Do not bury the Patriarch's mind with idle learning and understanding.'

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 參訪各方叢林。晚年進入天童寺，參拜林野奇和尚。一天，侍奉奇和尚在山中行走，胸中頓時廓然開朗，如冰雪消融。隨即呈上偈語說：『罷罷罷，休休休，橫臥倒睡在山丘。翻身一拶，粉碎虛空之骨，萬象森羅都笑著點頭。』奇和尚點頭認可。後來在普濟寺開法，之後遷往龍池寺和風穴寺。小參時說：『將心作佛，如同剜肉補瘡；了妄歸真，好比潑油救火。機鋒目前，負重前行，平地上顯出千差萬別。直下承擔，如同萬里白雲。總不這樣，就會墮入無間地獄。行就行，坐就坐，餓了吃飯，困了睡覺，也只贏得一味平常。但這還不是衲僧（僧人的自稱）向上追求的事。』為什麼呢？『三面貍奴腳踏月，兩頭白牯手擎煙。』

【English Translation】 English version Visiting various monasteries, in his later years, he entered Tiantong Monastery and paid respects to Linye Qi (a Zen master). One day, while attending to Qi (Zen master) on a walk in the mountains, his mind suddenly became clear and open, like ice and snow melting away. He immediately presented a verse saying: 'Stop, stop, stop, rest, rest, rest, lying horizontally and sleeping upside down on the hills. With a single twist, crushing the bones of empty space, all the myriad phenomena smile and nod.' Qi (Zen master) nodded in agreement. Later, he opened the Dharma at Puji Monastery, and then moved to Longchi Monastery and Fengxue Monastery. During a small Dharma talk, he said: 'Taking the mind as the Buddha is like cutting flesh to mend a sore; realizing delusion and returning to truth is like pouring oil to put out a fire. Facing the opportunity, carrying the burden forward, a thousand differences appear on level ground. Directly take responsibility, like ten thousand miles of white clouds. If you don't do it this way, you will fall into the Avici Hell. Walk when you walk, sit when you sit, eat when hungry, sleep when tired, and you only gain a taste of ordinariness. But this is not what a monk (a self-designation for monks) strives for. Why? 'A three-faced raccoon treads on the moon, a two-headed white bull holds smoke in its hands.'
Zen Master Daoan Jing of Jingshou Monastery in Kyoto
The son of the Zheng family of Shanyin, addressing the assembly, said: 'A blink of an eye, a raise of the eyebrow, and it's already missed. Picking up the mallet and raising the whisk, falling two and three. Arriving here, let go of the whole body, directly know where to return, slightly better. If you ponder and hesitate, you are a dull pigeon in the wind, only suitable for roosting under the fence, how can you soar beyond the clouds?' During a small Dharma talk, he said: 'Knowing one thing, everything is finished. The Three Treasures of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, put aside. The studies of precepts, meditation, and wisdom, set aside and do not discuss. Master Ma's (Mazu Daoyi) three jars of sauce, Touzi's (Touzi Datong) one bottle of oil, the flavor is frequently added to the mouth.'

Ascending the hall to preach: 'The fragrant wind is cool, the summer days are long. White clouds are faint, the flowing water is verdant. The yellow oriole sings on the green trees, the rising sun shines on the empty hall. The last sentence is a bag of tricks. In the world of lotus fragrance, the elegance is thorough, the whole body is manifested.' During a small Dharma talk, he said: 'Clouds rise to bring rain, dew condenses to become frost. Clearly and distinctly, it is not hidden throughout the realm.' Waving the whisk, he said: 'Xuansha (Xuansha Shibei) was originally Xie Sanlang.'

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 『色非色』，是指事物並非我們所認為的那樣。『名不得狀不得』，是指無法用語言或形象來描述它。『兩道眉毛蓋卻鼻』，意指真理近在眼前，卻被表象所遮蔽。『知不得解不得』，是指無法通過知識或解釋來領悟。『臨濟廝兒白拈賊』，是說臨濟宗的修行者是直截了當的開悟者。『不是心不是佛』，是指真理超越了心和佛的概念。『門前一池水，照徹虛空骨』，是指清凈的心如一池清水，能夠照亮萬物的本質。

示眾：大善禪寺今天開始結制（佛教僧侶的集中修行期），希望各位同修仔細用功。在一天二十四小時中，不要有任何分別心，只是專注于自己的鼻端（作為禪修的焦點）。不僅要掃除昏沉和散亂，還要捨棄之前所悟得的一切。不必再問什麼是祖師禪，不必再問什麼是第一義。釋迦老子（公元前563-公元前483）的教誨也不過如此，達磨祖師（生活于5/6世紀）的西來也是多此一舉。即使是三千七百則公案非常超奇，我看來都不是究竟的。既然超奇，為何又說不是？』良久，噓一噓說：『參！』（去參悟吧！）

小參：有一句話，輕易不示人。『騎牛上崑崙，踏出虛空髓』，意指修行達到極致，可以超越一切。『蟭螟急得雙眼紅，毗盧界內煙塵起』，意指微小的煩惱也能擾亂清凈的境界。『堂前露柱久懷胎，生下孩兒多意氣』，意指看似無情的物體也能孕育出新的生機。』良久云：『是何言歟？』（這是什麼意思呢？）小參：普遍呈現昏沉貪睡的狀態，文殊菩薩（象徵智慧）也錯過了黎明。目連尊者（神通第一）也失去了眼睛，真是笑煞了子丑寅卯（時間流逝）。多少孟八郎（魯莽的人），全身投入荒草之中。山色溪聲，要用心去看，才能發現珊瑚枝上陽光明媚。小參：德山老子（780-865），拿起一條棒，佛來了也打，魔來了也打。眼空四海，揹負須彌山（佛教中的聖山），給予和剝奪都自在，殺和活都在眼前。如果到了衲僧（修行僧人）門下，掃地挑屎，都輪不到你。你們這些黃瓜茄子（指沒有開悟的人），哪裡懂得什麼是好什麼是壞？

古蓼朱氏之子，從小在廬州伏虎寺出家。後來拜見瑞光徹禪師圓滿受戒。參看『竹篦子』的話頭。之後在三峰禪師處參學多年，最終在棒喝下徹底領悟了臨濟宗的宗旨。
【English Translation】 English version 'Form is not form' means that things are not as we perceive them to be. 'Name cannot describe, shape cannot depict' means that it cannot be described by language or image. 'Two eyebrows cover the nose' means that the truth is right in front of us, but obscured by appearances. 'Cannot be known, cannot be understood' means that it cannot be comprehended through knowledge or explanation. 'Linji's rascal is a barefaced thief' refers to the practitioners of the Linji school as direct awakeners. 'Not mind, not Buddha' means that the truth transcends the concepts of mind and Buddha. 'A pool of water in front of the door illuminates the bones of emptiness' means that a pure mind is like a pool of clear water, capable of illuminating the essence of all things.
Successor of Chan Master Shan Xiaoxi
Chan Master Tianpei Jian of Dashan Temple, Nanyue
Instruction to the assembly: Dashan Temple begins its retreat today. I urge all brothers to be diligent. Throughout the twenty-four hours of the day, do not have any discriminating thoughts, but simply focus on the tip of your nose (as a focus for meditation). Not only should you sweep away drowsiness and distraction, but you must also abandon everything you have previously realized. There is no need to ask what is Zen of the Patriarchs, no need to ask what is the First Principle. Shakyamuni Buddha (563-483 BCE) was nothing more than this, and Bodhidharma's (lived in 5th/6th century) coming from the West was superfluous. Even if the three thousand seven hundred koans are extraordinary, in my view, they are not ultimate. Since they are extraordinary, why do I say they are not? After a long pause, he sighed and said: 'Investigate!' (Go and investigate!)
Successor of Chan Master Jieyan Xiu
Chan Master Tan Zhao Ming of Dabe Temple, Jiangyin, Changzhou
Small Dharma talk: There is a saying that is not easily shown to others. 'Riding an ox up Mount Kunlun, treading out the marrow of emptiness' means that when practice reaches its peak, one can transcend everything. 'The gnat is so anxious that its eyes turn red, dust rises within the Vairocana realm' means that even small afflictions can disturb the pure realm. 'The pillar in front of the hall has been pregnant for a long time, and the child born is full of spirit' means that even seemingly inanimate objects can give birth to new life. After a long pause, he said: 'What is this saying?' Small Dharma talk: Universally presenting drowsiness and sleepiness, Manjusri (symbol of wisdom) misses the dawn. Maudgalyayana (foremost in supernatural powers) loses his eyes, truly laughing at Zi, Chou, Yin, and Mao (the passing of time). How many Meng Balangs (reckless people) throw themselves into the wilderness. The mountain colors and stream sounds must be looked at with the heart to discover the bright sunshine on the coral branches. Small Dharma talk: Old Master Deshan (780-865), picks up a stick, and strikes if the Buddha comes, and strikes if the demon comes. His eyes empty the four seas, carrying Mount Sumeru (holy mountain in Buddhism) on his back, giving and taking away freely, killing and giving life are right before him. If you come to the door of a mendicant monk, you won't even get to sweep the floor or carry the dung. You cucumbers and eggplants (referring to those who are not enlightened), how would you know what is good and what is bad?
Successor of Chan Master Ju De Li

【English Translation】 English version After visiting Lingyin (temple name) Temple, (Zen Master Puming, styled 𠁼yuan) paid respects to the Zen master of Lingyin Temple, and they were of one mind. He was then appointed as the second seat. Later, he went to Jiao Mountain (mountain name) in Jingkou to preside over the temple. Following that, he built Wanshan (place name). During an assembly, he held his staff horizontally and said, 'Ling Mountain (place name, referring to where the Buddha preached) talks about moon gazing, spreading falsehoods; Caoxi (place name, where the Sixth Patriarch Huineng propagated the Dharma) points to the moon, compounding mistakes. The old monks of the world are like buying cinnabar at a high price, only following evil. A strike at Xinhai Gate (place name) plunges the world into darkness. To make the sages of the past and future completely break free from the confines of understanding. If this is not yet possible, then turn the cloud head and meet with everyone elsewhere.' After speaking, he threw down his staff and left the seat. A monk asked, 'What is Buddha?' The Zen master said, 'Meng Balang Han.' The monk bowed. The Zen master said, 'Make up for clumsiness with diligence.'
Dharma successor of Zen Master Langshan Yu
Zen Master Puming, styled 𠁼yuan, of Jiaxing
During an assembly, a monk asked, 'What is the past mind?' The Zen master said, 'Zhao Zhou's (Zen master's name) robe weighs seven pounds.' He then asked, 'What is the future mind?' The Zen master said, 'Riding a bull on a bull, laughing to death.' He further asked, 'What is the present mind?' The Zen master said, 'No need to hang red lanterns under the sun.' He then asked, 'Among the three minds, which mind can become Buddha?' The Zen master said, 'Adding more grievances to the blue sky.' Then he said, 'There is no Dharma before the eyes, the meaning is in the present. When hungry, eat; when sleepy, sleep.' He clapped the Zen bed and said, 'Three mouths cross the river, fish jump the net; Kunlun (mountain name) rides an elephant, egret pulls.' During a small assembly on his birthday, Zen Practitioner Yuan said, 'Do you remember when you came out of your mother's womb, there was a public case that has not been mentioned. Today, it is a rare opportunity, so I might as well tell you all.' After a long pause, he said, 'The Yellow River clears once every three thousand years.' When Puming (temple name) retired from the abbotship and gave a Dharma talk, he said, 'The place where a Daoist lives originally has no fixed direction. Moving like floating clouds, still like the spirit of the valley. Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger, taking charge everywhere. When encountering opportunities, follow them. Sometimes, hiding names and traces on the top of a solitary peak; sometimes, arguing right and wrong at the crossroads. Being a guest, always be a guest; being a host, always be a host. Free from the body, without reliance, free everywhere. Do you know where this mountain monk finds joy?' After speaking, he walked out with his staff.

聖節上堂。百姓安居樂業，百官各盡其職，一起敲擊土地，歌頌太平盛世，拍著肚子歌唱王道教化。要說修養盛世，沒有比這更好的時候了。我們這些沙門釋子，用戒律約束內心，用智慧來修行，用戒律來修身，加入保社，行蹤漂泊于江湖，追逐雲水，寄身於煙霞之中，遵循同樣的師法，享受同樣的待遇。只是這王恩佛恩，該如何報答呢？舉起如意說，如果向途中尋找，還爭論半個月的路程。小參。向前不足，退後還算寬裕。只知道鹽的味道，哪裡知道醋的酸味。深夜裡蠟燭熄滅，沒有什麼其他的事情，又在月光下看閑書。開示大眾。舉起磬山修祖的話說。
【English Translation】 English version: Small Dharma talk. Being awake is not within understanding. Where is the drowsiness of a sleepy person? Apart from these two paths, where should one settle down and establish their life? If it is said that sleep and wakefulness are not different, there is still no basis to rely on. Brothers, do you understand? Deep in the forest, the yellow birds eagerly seek companions; on the green waters, the gulls sleep beside their mothers. End of Retreat Small Dharma Talk. Holding onto the essential pass, not allowing the passage of ordinary beings or sages. Releasing a thread of opportunity, allowing you to roam freely. Brothers, is it better to hold on or to release? The fragrance of plum blossoms penetrates the bones, who will recommend it? Again, it follows the spring breeze towards the lotus pond.

Yangqi's (楊岐) donkey, Zihu's (子湖) dog, the four categories and three mysteries, donkey's foot and Buddha's hand. This group of people, if they come to Bao'en Temple, sweeping the floor and carrying manure would be useless. Looking at the assembly, the Zen master asked, 'Is there still a patriarch?'

Small Dharma Talk. The spring breeze is gentle and warm, the days are long and the nights are short. The green mountains are still green, and the universe continues to turn. The staff in this old monk's hand, has it ever been spared from ancient times to the present? I respectfully tell those who practice Zen, the Dao is not far from people, but people themselves are far from the Dao.
Successor of Zen Master Yunfeng Shou
Zen Master Nanyuan Xin of Xifang Temple in Yangzhou
Sermon on the Holy Day. The four classes of people live in peace, and all officials fulfill their duties. Together, they strike the earth to praise the prosperous age, and pat their bellies to sing of the kingly way of governance. To cultivate a prosperous age, there is no better time than this. We, the Shramana disciples of Shakyamuni, use precepts to restrain our minds, use wisdom to cultivate ourselves, and use precepts to cultivate our bodies. Joining the Bao She (保社), our traces drift across the lakes and seas, pursuing clouds and water, lodging in the misty mountains. We follow the same teachings and enjoy the same benefits. But how should we repay the kindness of the king and the kindness of the Buddha? Raising the ruyi (如意) scepter, he said, 'If you seek it on the way, you will still argue about half a month's journey.' Small Dharma Talk. Advancing is insufficient, retreating is still lenient. Only knowing the taste of salt, how can one know the sourness of vinegar? In the deep of night, the candle goes out, there is nothing else to do, and I read idle books under the moonlight. Showing the assembly. He quoted the words of Ancestor Xiu of Qingshan.
