壽州智通禪師者壽州安豐人也。初看楞伽經約千餘遍而不會三身四智。禮師求解其義。祖曰。三身者。清淨法身汝之性也。圓滿報身汝之智也。千百億化身汝之行也。若離本性別說三身。即名有身無智。若悟三身無有自性。即名四智菩提。聽吾偈曰。

> Chan Master Zhitong of Shouzhou was a native of Anfeng in Shouzhou. Early on, he read the Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra more than a thousand times, yet did not understand the three bodies and four wisdoms. Paying homage to the Master, he sought an explanation of their meaning. The Patriarch said: "As for the three bodies: the pure dharmakāya is your nature; the perfect sambhogakāya is your wisdom; the hundreds of millions of nirmāṇakāyas are your actions. If one speaks of the three bodies apart from the fundamental nature, it is called having bodies without wisdom. If one awakens to the three bodies as lacking self-nature, it is called the bodhi of the four wisdoms. Listen to my gāthā:"
