宋朝的江西从悦禅师参访云盖守智禅师的时候，对谈不到几句，云盖守智禅师就批评他道：
During the Song Dynasty, ZM Cong-yue of Jiangxi visited ZM Shou-zhi of Yun-gai (A temple), after not many sentences, ZM Shou-zhi started to criticised:
“看你虽然是长沙道吾山的首座，但是谈吐竟如醉人一样！”
Look at you, although travelled a long way to my mountain's top seat, but talked and behaved like a drunkard.
从悦面红耳热的答道：
The red-face Cong-yue answered:
“请和尚慈悲，不吝开示！”
Please be kind and compassionate and not stingy to teach!
守智禅师问道：“你曾参访过法昌禅师吗？”
ZM Shou-zhi asked: Have you ever visited ZM Fa-chang?
“学人看过他的语录，已经融会在心，因此没有去参访。”
Student read his speech records, already melted into heart, that is why did not go visit.
守智禅师再问：“你曾参访过洞山克文禅师吗？”
ZM Shou-zhi asked again: Have you visited Dong-shan's ZM Ke-wen?
从悦不屑的回答道：“洞山克文吗？终日疯疯傻傻的，拖一条布裙，作尿臭气，算不上大德禅者！”
Cong-yue answered without thinking: Dong-shan's Ke-wen? Everyday crazy and idiotic, dragging a piece of cloth-skirt, that has bad smell of urine, not counted as any ZM with great merits!
守智禅师庄严的开示道：“禅在哪里里！你就往尿臭气去参！”
ZM Shou-zhi explained with strict dignity: Zen is there within! You go figure towards bad smell of urine!
从悦看守智禅师说得很认真，就依守智禅师的指示，去参访洞山克文禅师，因而深领奥旨，便回来感谢守智禅师。
Seeing that Shou-zhi is serious, Cong-yue followed his instructions and went to pay a visit to Dong-shan's ZM Ke-wen, from these got deep unique instruction, and came back to express his thanks to ZM Shou-zhi.
守智禅师问道：“你去参访克文禅师如何？”
ZM Shou-zhi asked: How was the visit to ZM Ke-wen?
从悦诚恳恭敬的禀告道：“若不得禅师你指示，此生就蹉跎了，故特来礼谢！”
Cong-yue sincerely and respectfully reported: If not for your pointing out, this life is wasted/lost, thats why expressly came to thank you.
守智禅师道：“礼谢什么？礼谢尿臭气好了。”
ZM Shou-zhi said: What is there to thank? Better to thank Smelly Urine.
以貌取人，这是人间的通病，以穿着取人，更是肉眼常见的事例。
禅在哪里里？
禅不一定在庄严相好的上面，不一定在美好穿着上面，“一条布裙，作尿臭气”，这是慧眼看到的禅境，因此莲花出于污泥，金玉藏于土石也。
