袁州仰山智齊禪師初參諟禪師。諟問汝是甚處人。對曰。安州人。諟云。汝為甚麼却不安。對曰。今日轉見病源。諟云且道強惺惺。師遂禮拜。有頌曰。有口不能言。無舌能解語。惺惺猶是夢。何處有佛祖。

Chan Master Zhiqi of Mount Yang in Yuanzhou initially studied under Chan Master Ti. Ti asked, "Where are you from?" He replied, "A person of Anzhou." Ti said, "Why then are you not at ease (an)?" He replied, "Today I see the source of the illness even more clearly." Ti said, "You are merely making a show of being clever." The Master thereupon bowed. He had a verse: "Having a mouth, one cannot speak; / Without a tongue, one can understand speech. / Being alert and clever is still a dream; / Where is there any Buddha or Patriarch?"
