師普請鋤地次，見黃蘗來，拄钁而立。黃蘗云：「這漢困那？」師云：「钁也未舉，困箇什麼？」黃蘗便打，師接住棒，一送送倒。黃蘗喚：「維那！維那！扶起我。」維那近前扶，云：「和尚爭容得這風顛漢無禮？」黃蘗纔起便打維那，師钁地，云：「諸方火葬，我這裏一時活埋。」後溈山問仰山：「黃蘗打維那意作麼生？」仰山云：「正賊走却，邏蹤人喫棒。」

Once while the master was hoeing the ground during communal labor, he saw Huangbo coming, leaned on his mattock, and stood still. Huangbo said, "Is this fellow tired?" The master said, "I haven't even lifted the mattock; what is there to be tired of?" Huangbo struck him; the master caught the stick and shoved him over with a push. Huangbo called out, "Karmadāna! Karmadāna! Help me up!" The karmadāna stepped forward to help him up and said, "How can the Venerable permit this madman such rudeness?" As soon as Huangbo got up, he struck the karmadāna. The master, hoeing the ground, said, "Everywhere else they cremate, but here I bury alive all at once!" Later Guishan asked Yangshan, "What was Huangbo's meaning in striking the karmadāna?" Yangshan said, "The actual thief escaped, and the pursuer got the stick."
