Chan Master Quanken of Zhizhe Temple in Wuzhou initially called upon Tiantai. Tiantai asked, "What is your name?" He said, "Quanken (Completely Affirming)." Tiantai said, "What do you affirm?" The master then bowed. After he became an abbot, a monk asked, "If someone does not affirm, is the master still content or not?" The master said, "If someone asks me, I speak to him." During the Taiping Xingguo era, the master entrusted the abbacy to his Dharma heir Shaozhong to succeed him in preaching the Dharma. Soon after, he returned to silence at his temple.
