昭遠，成都人也，年十三，事東郭禪師智諲為童子。 Zhaoyuan was from Chengdu. At thirteen he became a novice under the Chan master Zhiyun of East Suburb.

知祥嘗飯僧於府，昭遠執巾履從智諲以入，知祥見之，愛其惠黠。 When Zhixiang once entertained monks at his residence, Zhaoyuan followed Zhiyun in carrying towel and shoes. Zhixiang took a liking to his quick wit.
