無門曰。國師三喚舌頭墮地。侍者三應。和光吐出。國師年老心孤。按牛頭喫草。侍者未肯承當。美食不中飽人飡。且道那裏是他辜負處。國清才子貴。家富小兒嬌。

Wumen said: "The National Teacher called three times, his tongue falling to the ground; the attendant responded three times, spitting it out harmonizing with the light. The National Teacher, old and feeling lonely, pressed the cow's head down to eat grass; the attendant was not willing to take it upon himself: fine food does not serve to feed a full person. Tell me, where was his disappointing? When the state is clear, the talented are valued; when the house is rich, the children are pampered."
