唐貞觀中有寒山、拾得、豐干三人，隱于天台國清寺。始者正諫大夫閭丘胤出刺于台州，尚未登途而遽爾沈痾，欲起不能。忽見一僧曰：「吾豐干也，其止者天台。以公病故來。」因取水噀其面，病即而穌。公幸其復生，因復請曰：「天台吾屬邑，其有賢者可親乎？」干曰：「可親而不可見，寒山焉。可見而不可附，拾得焉。彼文殊、普賢二大士也。」胤至郡之五日，訪之，僧道翹曰：「豐干院在經藏後，今已無人。寒拾見在厨然爨。」又問：「豐干作何行業？」答曰：「唯事供舂，夜則唱歌自樂，時復騎虎松徑往來。」公至厨，見而禮之。且詬且罵曰：「豐干饒舌。彼自彌陀不識，却來禮我何為？」徒眾驚之，二子隱矣。古人有言曰：「聖賢混跡，而世難見。」豈其人耶？三士之詩，警世良多，具見本集。

During the Zhenguan era of the Tang dynasty, there were three men—Hanshan, Shide, and Fenggan—who lived in seclusion at Guoqing Monastery on Mount Tiantai. Initially, Lüqiu Yin, Grand Master of Remonstrance, went out to govern Taizhou. Before he had even set out, he suddenly fell gravely ill, wishing to rise but unable to do so. Suddenly he saw a monk, who said: 'I am Fenggan; I reside on Mount Tiantai. Because of your illness, I have come.' He then took water and spurted it on his face, and his illness was immediately cured. The duke rejoiced in his revival, and thereupon asked further: 'Tiantai is in my jurisdiction; are there any worthy persons there whom I might approach?' Fenggan said: 'One may approach him but cannot see him: that is Hanshan. One may see him but cannot get close to him: that is Shide. They are the two Great Beings, Mañjuśrī and Samantabhadra.' On the fifth day after Yin reached the commandery, he visited them. The monk Daoqiao said: 'Fenggan's cloister is behind the canon repository, but there is no one there now. Hanshan and Shide are presently in the kitchen tending the stove fire.' He also asked: 'What practice and conduct does Fenggan engage in?' The monk answered: 'He solely attends to pounding grain for offerings; at night he sings songs to amuse himself, and from time to time rides a tiger back and forth along the pine path.' The duke went to the kitchen, saw them, and bowed to them. They scolded and reviled him, saying: 'Fenggan talks too much! You do not even recognise your own Amitābha, so why come bow to us?' The assembly of disciples was astonished, and the two masters disappeared into hiding. An ancient has said: 'Sages and worthies mingle their traces, and the world finds it difficult to recognise them.' Could it not be these men? The poems of these three worthies offer many warnings to the world, and are fully preserved in their collection.
