Upon first entering the hall as abbot, Xuedou looked out over the assembly and said, "if I'm to speak about coming face-to-face with the fundamental principle, then there's no need to ascend the Dharma seat."
He then used his hand to draw a picture in the air and said, "All of you follow this old mountain monk's hand and see! Here are innumerable buddha lands appearing before you all at once. All of you look carefully. If you are on the river bank and still dont know, dont avoid moving mud and carrying water." He then ascended the seat.
